In this episode of Scene it Lately, Jason Davidson and Dave Williams head into the cinematic jungle to revisit Predator, John McTiernan’s genre-blending 1987 thriller that pits an elite military team—and their egos—against a technologically advanced alien hunter. But this isn’t just about explosions and catchphrases (though we cover those too).Through an educator’s lens, Jason and Dave unpack how Predator unexpectedly mirrors the high-stress terrain of modern teaching: shifting expectations, environmental pressure, leadership under fire, and the challenge of adapting when your best-laid plans fall apart. From classroom “survival strategies” to Dutch’s back-to-basics finale, this episode explores what the film still has to say—both about action cinema and the reality of making it through a school year.Whether you’re a longtime fan or watching for the first time, this conversation will have you thinking, laughing, and possibly rethinking how you handle your next “predator” moment—whether it’s a faculty meeting or a rogue copier jam.
