The Predator is not only the sixth film in the Predator franchise but also the first directed by Shane Black who previously starred in the first film. The film follows Boyd Holbrook and Jacob Tremblay as father and son who must work together with a group of PTSD-afflicted soldiers to not only fight back against the titular alien but also against the US military. It's a jumbled, poorly edited mess that doesn't live up to its potential and squanders the talents of everyone involved. Mike White joins Chris and Eric to talk about the film and its disappointing place in the Predator canon.
