Listen "Predator (1987)"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Raised by VHS, Coby and Cam head deep into the Central American jungle with Cam’s staff pick, Predator (1987)—the ultimate 80s mash-up of muscle, mud, and murderous alien tech. They break down Arnold’s all-time Dutch performance, Carl Weathers’ legendary bicep handshake, and why this film still feels like the manliest VHS in the stack. Along the way, they hit the wild production stories (the failed original Predator suit, Jean-Claude Van Damme drama, Stan Winston’s iconic redesign), the surprisingly mixed original reviews, and how that neon-green-blooded creature and its heat vision basically rewired their childhoods. Plus: favorite scenes, Top 5 Arnold movies, and a special Movie Memorabilia Inferno gift reveal before they slap a late-fee rating on this overdue rental. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
