Speaker 1 (00:20):
Hello, my name is Jason steps and I'm Rosey Night
and welcome back text Ready Visions of Out guys, where
we dive eve into your baby, news, movies, regulars.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Plus news, Today's news plus news.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
That's all you need to know about news news.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
In today's previously on News episode, we are catching you
up on the biggest keek news of the week, including
a new trailer for Superman and Guys is looking very good.
I'm not gonna lie. New trailer for wait a minute,
Space Wars two. I didn't even know that movie was
coming out. And guess what, guys, mel Brooks, he's back
(00:57):
aged nineties.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Baby behave.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
And we're also going to do our reaction to a
movie that I know our discord has been loving, I
know the Internet's been loving Predator Killer of Killers on
Hulu now.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
First up, new trailer for season three of Foundation, one
of the best listen we had our sci fi debate recently.
Foundation absolutely sci fi and if you Love sci Fi?
Season three arriving July eleventh on Apple TV plus The
Small but extremely Mighty. It's a streaming platform that spends
(01:35):
a lot, a lot, a lot of money. Aaron superproducer
Aaron has a lot of concerns about how much money
they're spending, but we love it and the trailer looks great.
I mean it looks it.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Can millions on TV if you are excited. They have
been promising for a while, if you are a Foundation superstan,
that they would be introducing the new character that many
have been waiting for, Carde the Mule, played by none
other than Aspect, who I love Game of Thrones fans
(02:06):
will know him well.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
He will also be.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
In the upcoming he Man movie, which I can't wait for.
And yeah, I mean still looks like one of the
best shows on TV right now.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
It's gorgeous, it's got Lee Pace in it. It is a.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Show that hops thousands of years between each season. I
just think it's ambitious, it's weird, and it's exactly what
Apple TV plus is getting known for with shows like
Severance and The Studio and this very show, which is
one of their longest running shows now with three seasons.
(02:45):
So yeah, Foundation season three.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Here's the log set one hundred and fifty two hundred
and fifty two years after the events of the Foundation
has become the found Harry Selden's Foundation that is trying
to preserve human knowledge and civilization, has become increasingly established,
far beyond its humble beginnings. While the Kleonic Dynasties Empire
(03:09):
has dwindled and you can see that from the trailer,
Emperor Cleon appears to be going through it. As both
of these galactic powers forge an uneasy alliance. A threat
to the entire galaxy appears in the fearsome form of
a warlord known as the Mule, whose sites are set
on ruling the universe by use of physical and military
force as well as mind controls anyone's guests. Who will win,
(03:29):
who will lose, who will live, who will die?
Speaker 4 (03:33):
I'm gonna die from how hotly paces in this shadow.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Also quite like sixty Jesus Superstan, he's giving sexy Jesus
pili aspect is gonna be evil, you know, sexy Judas
or something.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
And I'm into a sexy.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Guys Cody fun also very sexy, I mean just being everybody.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Is joining this year, Oscar.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Let's just pause here, say this is a This cast
is easy on the eyes in joy and as are
the settings and the special effects. Everything look super super great.
We will be doing a ketchup to get you prepared.
A lot goes on, believe me, in the previous two seasons.
If you haven't watched them, watch them, or we'll get
(04:16):
you ready for him. Up next, Superman, the final trailer
before the debut of the actual.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Movie less than a month away.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Less than a month away, we get some narration by
Lex Luthor, and as you mentioned, we get some truly
scary scenes of disasters occurring and Metropolis and of Superman
saving people and folks. It looks great, yes, and at
(04:47):
least from what I'm seeing, it really appears like they've
nailed the tone of sup.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
I was gonna say something I think some people had
not been feeling as much was the color grading was
very colorful. It was giving that primary color feel, which
I do think is fantastic for Superman. But I think
in this trailer you get a bit more of a
look at what the movie's actually gonna look like. It's
a little bit more realistic, a little bit more kind
of grounded.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
But then when you get to those big action sequences.
I didn't realize until.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
This trailer that this movie is clearly gonna be released
in three D, and that was recently confirmed with James Gunn,
who said he just finished looking over the three D
version of the movie and he's really excited.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
I will be seeing it in three D. I love
three D movies.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
And there is a fantastic moment here where Crypto and
Superman team up in as a super produced Aaron put it,
I'm sure like what looks like a co Op Finisher
video game move where Crypto kind of punches the guy
into the air and then Superman punches him in the
face and.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
They like bounce In.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Three D, the teeth will bounce off your face.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yes, And that was the thing, is like I realized
after that.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
There are multiple moments like when he's protecting the girl
from the explosion and you see all the air tanks.
I was like, Okay, there's so many moments here that
are gonna work in three D. This is also hilarious
to me because in my house there has been only
one topic of conversation about Superman, as is always the
way in my house, which is we have focused in
in the solely silliest part of the movie, which is
(06:23):
we learn through a kid's book, a picture of a
kid's book that Metamorpho.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Will have a child who will play a major.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Part in the movie because it will make Metamorpho have
to choose between the Authority and the Justice Gang and Superman.
And that is the fact that he has a baby
called Baby Joey, and the baby.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Joey's little green like alien looking baby.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
And in this trailer we see Superman kind of strung
up in Metamorphos weird like almost like hen Ti tape.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Like cosmic cosmic HENI per save baby Joey. So Baby
Joey is real. Baby Joey's in this movie.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
If you see Baby Joey, he's a funny, little, ugly
green baby, so you're not gonna be surprised. I care
about him. I have to say, I think this is
the best trailer. I am excited for this movie. Let's
see if it's gonna be the summer of Superman or
the summer of Fantastic Four.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
Why not both? Why not both?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
I think we deserve both. Let's kind of.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Stuff, optimistic, hopesful heroes that we need right now.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
We need him.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
Let's take a break, We'll be right back, and we're back.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Folks. We get it wrong sometimes. Here an extra vision
and one of the things we were wrong about was
and I love, we love to be wrong about this one, folks.
In our season two, nobody's gonna watch it. It's gonna
be it's gonna flop, it's gonna be very important to
culturally significant, and it's gonna be great, great, great television
(08:10):
and storytelling. But like season one, no one will watch.
Guess why everybody watched? Everybody watched this show, which has
no connection to current events and does not all and appears,
in fact, to not be prophetic about events currently happening going.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
On in Gorman, is happening right now in Los Angeles?
Definitely not.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Certainly the scenes of the center of Gorman being dragged
out of the Senate House by Imperial Stooges does not
have a strange mirror reflection occurring in a reality right now.
Guess what and Or big hit.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Big hit, and not just by Disney standards.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
This is a big, huge hit actual Nielsen yes numbers
means real hit.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
And Or took the number one spot in the weekly
streaming charts from May twelfth to the eighteenth. This is
the week spanning the final three episodes, and it helped
propel Rogue one into the top ten of Nielsen's weekly
movie charts. So crazy, this is massive and the cultural
significance continues to grow. Just truly crazy. Tony Gilroy the
(09:23):
Tone Zone was interviewed on the New York Times opinion
page to talk about, you know, whether the show is
leftist or anti fascist or you know what it is,
and I think the Tone Zone wisely and smartly kind
of elighted those questions that good, as he always does,
(09:47):
that said, we are so happy to be wrong about this.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Yeah, this was wonderful. I'd love to hear it. That's
saying it collected nine hundred and thirty one million minutes
of viewing for the week of May twelfth to eighteenth.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
That's not even for the whole season.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
They're just talking about like that week of the final episodes.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
It grew by one hundred and one.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Million minutes week to week, which is just absolutely crazy
and honestly, just really happy about this.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I feel like we're in an age where we.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Need more fantastic shows that definitely don't deal with real life.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
And I think it says a lot about the way.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
That people were interacting with the show, the conversations it
was having, the coverage it was getting that made people
realize this is something they have to watch, and they
were right.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
They do have to watch it.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
It's one of the best of TV shows in recent memory.
Let's take a quick break, will you ever?
Speaker 5 (10:42):
Yeah, and we're back.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Next up, in absolutely shocking news, I was shugged and
this is shocking. Spaceballs the Schwartz Awakens has been announced
with a teaser trailer wild that it will debut in
twenty twenty seven. This this sequel film for the iconic
(11:16):
sci fi comedy adventure parody of Star Wars Spaceballs, which
is now I don't like I don't have the wiki
page open in front of you, but it's gotta be
thirty five years old or something like that, so, you know,
one of the longest gap between seven gez one of them,
one of the longest gaps between original movie and sequel
(11:40):
in movie history. And also a very very cheeky teaser
trailer that pokes fun at the fact that, you know,
the original movie kind of joked that it there would
never be a sequel, and now there is a sequel,
and I could not be happier. The teaser trailer has
at the end of it a statement from mel Brooks,
(12:02):
the ageless mel Brooks, who, at age ninety eight, appears
as sharp as a razor, as sharp as ever. It's
just incredible.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
I can wait, and the cost is so great. Bill
Pullman will be back.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
And then he's being joined by his son, who you
may have recently seen in thunder Boat. Rick Marana is
coming out of retirement.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
I love him back. He's back.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
And also my most exciting piece, hey did drink them.
My most exciting piece of costing in this is Keky Palmer.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
That means that mel Brooks is online, he knows what's
going on, he knows who's funny man.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
We just got the announcement that one of them days
is gonna be and that's gonna get a sequel.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Pounds for pound. I don't think there's many people more
talented than Keky Pomer. Now we're entertaining than Keky Palmer. Hilarious,
more hilarious, not in just her acting, but just oh no,
she doesn't need. Every thing she says is hilarious and funny.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
She's given viral about stuff she's not even in Wicked.
Some of the funniest stuff to be said about Huge.
She's huge fantastic and I can't wait, and I am
so excited.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Play Baseball's too. I think it's gonna be great.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
I cannot wait. Okay, let's talk about Predator. Killer of Killers, Jason.
It's so good, recently released on the Hulu streaming network.
Directed by mister Predator himself, Dan Trachtenberg. The story is wonderful,
the animation is fantastic, and I was not even pleasantly surprised.
(13:47):
I was. I would say I was pleasantly surprised until
I realized like how all these stories were connected, and
then I was like kind of blown away. A wonderful, tight,
and little Predator story.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
I would agree.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
I think that you know, there's I think that it
looks brilliant. I think it should have got a theatrical release.
They did a Beyond Fest premiere. I think that should
have been spread out for a week or so. I
think this movie could have easily made thirty or forty mil.
But it was basically a surprise drop that Dan had
been working on this post prey in the lead up
to bad Lands. I'm guessing it's gonna have some connections
to bad Lands because we have seen here in this
(14:25):
movie that it connects directly to Prey and so to
Predator too.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
One of my favorite.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Movies love that that that is a connection there. I
think some of the coolest things about this is, as
you say, first, like forty five minutes of the movie,
when it establishes these three different storylines.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
They are very much in the kind.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Of classical tropes, Viking trope, Samurai tropes, World War two,
trip smarin in ye Yeah, samurain Injin and and those.
It's like a fun story in those worlds. But when
they start to come together and you get the final
kind of fourth story that connects them all and showcases
kind of the world of the predator and the way
that we are learning that killers, that's when it really
(15:07):
connects because you start to learn this new important part
about predator law, which is if somebody kills a predator,
they are taken to this predator world where they have
to fight for their survival and if they win, then
they are put in cryogenic uh, you know, put in
a cryogenic freeze. We see the Naru from Prey played
(15:28):
by Amber mid Thunder at the end there.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
She is frozen.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
We see that her pistol is then given to a
young guy who is a World War Two veteran to
fight against, and then we understand that ultimately this gun
is going to go to none other than the Predator.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
In Danny Glover's starring role of Predator.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
To love this Lieutenant Mike Harrigan.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Best I love casting that they were like who should
be in Predator to after Arnold Swarzenegger, and they were
like Daddy Glove.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
So there's obviously like a lot of predator lure about
the different kind of predator hunts that have taken place
across the galaxy, some of them involving, uh, you know, aliens,
the xenomorph from Alien Law. And but this is the
first time we get this in movies right where we
(16:21):
kind of get this idea that there's like a first
team all Predator opponent team, like and if you make
you can make the All Star team. And then if
you make the All Star team, you have a chance
to become like one of the all time greats who
gets put in the Hall of of Cryogenic Freeze. So
that the predators can be like, look at that one,
(16:42):
that one kills.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Great job, that one did a great job.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Do We also get to see some kind of sick
kind of new predator designs here.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
I love.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Also, this is very if you haven't checked it out yet,
very spide of us. Some of the characters are animated
on the twos, you know, to kind of give it
that look. So I love that when they cut the
predators and you get that iconic kind of neon blood, Yeah,
looks almost like it's from like Tatosh, you know, Ninja,
tals Mute and Mayhem.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
The thing that I really appreciated was each predator is unique.
It's not, you know, like obviously they are all from
the same alien species, but they all like one of
the the one that fights in the first story, and
the fighting story is huge and like very very muscled.
In this second we see is more lean. There's these
(17:33):
different identities that they imbue into each predator, with their
fighting styles, with the size and shape of their of
their bodies. That is really interesting. I thought, was like
really smart.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
That they Yeah, I really love I love the final
predator who's kind of with the giant skull, the kind
of spines that.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
He's throwing out there. Yeah, just really fun.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
I feel very interested to see how this will play
into bad Lands because our understanding of bad Lands as
it is is that a predator gets sent out on
his first hunt and then finds himself on a planet
where he is being hunted. So I'm very I feel
like that probably establishing some stuff here that we're gonna
see in bad Lands.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
I think that's important because here's the here's the quiet
problem of the way predator stories are set up. They
lose a lot, like it's it's secretly like a Washington
general's type. They're always losing. So I think with bad
Lands we are although alien versus predator. They wont let
(18:37):
me just make sure to note that somebody, but still
they won. They won against the aliens. So I think
it's important with bad Lands that we potentially see predators
actually winning.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
And I agree because.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
You know, like a story like this is so awesome,
but at a certain point, people even be like Jesus
platters seem to get cook them.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
They always by like Rando humans too in every iron
Yes it's like the guy, he's not even the guy.
I do love the fact that this kind of establishes,
like you said, like these are the people you fight first, Yes,
you fight the secondary ones, and we know that there
is gonna be a connection to the Alien Universe and
which are Obviously these two franchises are connected, but we
(19:25):
haven't seen it as much in the Newest stuff. But
we know that the El Fanning character who will seemingly
allie with the Predator in bad Lands is a Wayland
Newtanni Synth. So I think this is really exciting. Is
it gonna lead into Alien Earth? I would be interested
to see either way.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
I'm stoked. I love this world. Go watch this movie.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Also, Disney, this should have been a theatrical release. Put
it in cinemas for.
Speaker 1 (19:49):

There are multiple moments like when he's protecting the girl
from the explosion and you see all the air tanks.
I was like, Okay, there's so many moments here that
are gonna work in three D. This is also hilarious
to me because in my house there has been only
one topic of conversation about Superman, as is always the
way in my house, which is we have focused in
in the solely silliest part of the movie, which is
(06:23):
we learn through a kid's book, a picture of a
kid's book that Metamorpho.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Will have a child who will play a major.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Part in the movie because it will make Metamorpho have
to choose between the Authority and the Justice Gang and Superman.
And that is the fact that he has a baby
called Baby Joey, and the baby.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Joey's little green like alien looking baby.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
And in this trailer we see Superman kind of strung
up in Metamorphos weird like almost like hen Ti tape.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Like cosmic cosmic HENI per save baby Joey. So Baby
Joey is real. Baby Joey's in this movie.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
If you see Baby Joey, he's a funny, little, ugly
green baby, so you're not gonna be surprised. I care
about him. I have to say, I think this is
the best trailer. I am excited for this movie. Let's
see if it's gonna be the summer of Superman or
the summer of Fantastic Four.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
Why not both? Why not both?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
I think we deserve both. Let's kind of.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Stuff, optimistic, hopesful heroes that we need right now.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
We need him.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
Let's take a break, We'll be right back, and we're back.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Folks. We get it wrong sometimes. Here an extra vision
and one of the things we were wrong about was
and I love, we love to be wrong about this one, folks.
In our season two, nobody's gonna watch it. It's gonna
be it's gonna flop, it's gonna be very important to
culturally significant, and it's gonna be great, great, great television
(08:10):
and storytelling. But like season one, no one will watch.
Guess why everybody watched? Everybody watched this show, which has
no connection to current events and does not all and appears,
in fact, to not be prophetic about events currently happening going.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
On in Gorman, is happening right now in Los Angeles?
Definitely not.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Certainly the scenes of the center of Gorman being dragged
out of the Senate House by Imperial Stooges does not
have a strange mirror reflection occurring in a reality right now.
Guess what and Or big hit.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Big hit, and not just by Disney standards.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
This is a big, huge hit actual Nielsen yes numbers
means real hit.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
And Or took the number one spot in the weekly
streaming charts from May twelfth to the eighteenth. This is
the week spanning the final three episodes, and it helped
propel Rogue one into the top ten of Nielsen's weekly
movie charts. So crazy, this is massive and the cultural
significance continues to grow. Just truly crazy. Tony Gilroy the
(09:23):
Tone Zone was interviewed on the New York Times opinion
page to talk about, you know, whether the show is
leftist or anti fascist or you know what it is,
and I think the Tone Zone wisely and smartly kind
of elighted those questions that good, as he always does,
(09:47):
that said, we are so happy to be wrong about this.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Yeah, this was wonderful. I'd love to hear it. That's
saying it collected nine hundred and thirty one million minutes
of viewing for the week of May twelfth to eighteenth.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
That's not even for the whole season.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
They're just talking about like that week of the final episodes.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
It grew by one hundred and one.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Million minutes week to week, which is just absolutely crazy
and honestly, just really happy about this.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I feel like we're in an age where we.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Need more fantastic shows that definitely don't deal with real life.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
And I think it says a lot about the way.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
That people were interacting with the show, the conversations it
was having, the coverage it was getting that made people
realize this is something they have to watch, and they
were right.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
They do have to watch it.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
It's one of the best of TV shows in recent memory.
Let's take a quick break, will you ever?
Speaker 5 (10:42):
Yeah, and we're back.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Next up, in absolutely shocking news, I was shugged and
this is shocking. Spaceballs the Schwartz Awakens has been announced
with a teaser trailer wild that it will debut in
twenty twenty seven. This this sequel film for the iconic
(11:16):
sci fi comedy adventure parody of Star Wars Spaceballs, which
is now I don't like I don't have the wiki
page open in front of you, but it's gotta be
thirty five years old or something like that, so, you know,
one of the longest gap between seven gez one of them,
one of the longest gaps between original movie and sequel
(11:40):
in movie history. And also a very very cheeky teaser
trailer that pokes fun at the fact that, you know,
the original movie kind of joked that it there would
never be a sequel, and now there is a sequel,
and I could not be happier. The teaser trailer has
at the end of it a statement from mel Brooks,
(12:02):
the ageless mel Brooks, who, at age ninety eight, appears
as sharp as a razor, as sharp as ever. It's
just incredible.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
I can wait, and the cost is so great. Bill
Pullman will be back.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
And then he's being joined by his son, who you
may have recently seen in thunder Boat. Rick Marana is
coming out of retirement.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
I love him back. He's back.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
And also my most exciting piece, hey did drink them.
My most exciting piece of costing in this is Keky Palmer.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
That means that mel Brooks is online, he knows what's
going on, he knows who's funny man.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
We just got the announcement that one of them days
is gonna be and that's gonna get a sequel.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Pounds for pound. I don't think there's many people more
talented than Keky Pomer. Now we're entertaining than Keky Palmer. Hilarious,
more hilarious, not in just her acting, but just oh no,
she doesn't need. Every thing she says is hilarious and funny.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
She's given viral about stuff she's not even in Wicked.
Some of the funniest stuff to be said about Huge.
She's huge fantastic and I can't wait, and I am
so excited.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Play Baseball's too. I think it's gonna be great.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
I cannot wait. Okay, let's talk about Predator. Killer of Killers, Jason.
It's so good, recently released on the Hulu streaming network.
Directed by mister Predator himself, Dan Trachtenberg. The story is wonderful,
the animation is fantastic, and I was not even pleasantly surprised.
(13:47):
I was. I would say I was pleasantly surprised until
I realized like how all these stories were connected, and
then I was like kind of blown away. A wonderful, tight,
and little Predator story.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
I would agree.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
I think that you know, there's I think that it
looks brilliant. I think it should have got a theatrical release.
They did a Beyond Fest premiere. I think that should
have been spread out for a week or so. I
think this movie could have easily made thirty or forty mil.
But it was basically a surprise drop that Dan had
been working on this post prey in the lead up
to bad Lands. I'm guessing it's gonna have some connections
to bad Lands because we have seen here in this
(14:25):
movie that it connects directly to Prey and so to
Predator too.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
One of my favorite.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Movies love that that that is a connection there. I
think some of the coolest things about this is, as
you say, first, like forty five minutes of the movie,
when it establishes these three different storylines.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
They are very much in the kind.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Of classical tropes, Viking trope, Samurai tropes, World War two,
trip smarin in ye Yeah, samurain Injin and and those.
It's like a fun story in those worlds. But when
they start to come together and you get the final
kind of fourth story that connects them all and showcases
kind of the world of the predator and the way
that we are learning that killers, that's when it really
(15:07):
connects because you start to learn this new important part
about predator law, which is if somebody kills a predator,
they are taken to this predator world where they have
to fight for their survival and if they win, then
they are put in cryogenic uh, you know, put in
a cryogenic freeze. We see the Naru from Prey played
(15:28):
by Amber mid Thunder at the end there.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
She is frozen.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
We see that her pistol is then given to a
young guy who is a World War Two veteran to
fight against, and then we understand that ultimately this gun
is going to go to none other than the Predator.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
In Danny Glover's starring role of Predator.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
To love this Lieutenant Mike Harrigan.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Best I love casting that they were like who should
be in Predator to after Arnold Swarzenegger, and they were
like Daddy Glove.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
So there's obviously like a lot of predator lure about
the different kind of predator hunts that have taken place
across the galaxy, some of them involving, uh, you know, aliens,
the xenomorph from Alien Law. And but this is the
first time we get this in movies right where we
(16:21):
kind of get this idea that there's like a first
team all Predator opponent team, like and if you make
you can make the All Star team. And then if
you make the All Star team, you have a chance
to become like one of the all time greats who
gets put in the Hall of of Cryogenic Freeze. So
that the predators can be like, look at that one,
(16:42):
that one kills.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Great job, that one did a great job.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Do We also get to see some kind of sick
kind of new predator designs here.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
I love.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Also, this is very if you haven't checked it out yet,
very spide of us. Some of the characters are animated
on the twos, you know, to kind of give it
that look. So I love that when they cut the
predators and you get that iconic kind of neon blood, Yeah,
looks almost like it's from like Tatosh, you know, Ninja,
tals Mute and Mayhem.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
The thing that I really appreciated was each predator is unique.
It's not, you know, like obviously they are all from
the same alien species, but they all like one of
the the one that fights in the first story, and
the fighting story is huge and like very very muscled.
In this second we see is more lean. There's these
(17:33):
different identities that they imbue into each predator, with their
fighting styles, with the size and shape of their of
their bodies. That is really interesting. I thought, was like
really smart.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
That they Yeah, I really love I love the final
predator who's kind of with the giant skull, the kind
of spines that.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
He's throwing out there. Yeah, just really fun.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
I feel very interested to see how this will play
into bad Lands because our understanding of bad Lands as
it is is that a predator gets sent out on
his first hunt and then finds himself on a planet
where he is being hunted. So I'm very I feel
like that probably establishing some stuff here that we're gonna
see in bad Lands.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
I think that's important because here's the here's the quiet
problem of the way predator stories are set up. They
lose a lot, like it's it's secretly like a Washington
general's type. They're always losing. So I think with bad
Lands we are although alien versus predator. They wont let
(18:37):
me just make sure to note that somebody, but still
they won. They won against the aliens. So I think
it's important with bad Lands that we potentially see predators
actually winning.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
And I agree because.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
You know, like a story like this is so awesome,
but at a certain point, people even be like Jesus
platters seem to get cook them.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
They always by like Rando humans too in every iron
Yes it's like the guy, he's not even the guy.
I do love the fact that this kind of establishes,
like you said, like these are the people you fight first, Yes,
you fight the secondary ones, and we know that there
is gonna be a connection to the Alien Universe and
which are Obviously these two franchises are connected, but we
(19:25):
haven't seen it as much in the Newest stuff. But
we know that the El Fanning character who will seemingly
allie with the Predator in bad Lands is a Wayland
Newtanni Synth. So I think this is really exciting. Is
it gonna lead into Alien Earth? I would be interested
to see either way.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
I'm stoked. I love this world. Go watch this movie.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Also, Disney, this should have been a theatrical release. Put
it in cinemas for.
Speaker 1 (19:49):

for news. On next week's episodes of X ray Vision,
we're diving into twenty eight years later. You're you for Ironheart.
