In this episode of our ongoing 2026 80s Icons series we are about to find out if it indeed can be killed if it bleeds as we talk about the 1987 Predator. Over the course of our sprawling debate you will hear us recount our early memories connected to this iconic action movie, how Predator was perhaps misunderstood upon release and what made it connect with audiences so profoundly that it spawned not only a movie series but a full-blown multimedia franchise. We also discuss Arnie in the context of a team of muscular manly specimens, Carl Weathers as a guy who ups everyone’s acting game, the gamble behind hiding the Predator creature design for so long, practicalities of taking a mud bath in the middle of a game of survival and much more!
