Episode 18: Predator 2

Through much peer pressure I've given in. It was demanded that we do Predator 2 since Zo and Jen hate it while Maxim and Scott love it. Fortunately both parties (finally) made it to the debate. Conclusion: neutral. Is the "urban jungle" a nice evolution of the franchise or a silly gimmick? Is the sequel automatically bad for simply being a sequel to something so good? What is the best Gary Busey movie? Zo and Jen don't pop in until a half hour into the movie, so be patient.

I think we missed this title card. We were pretty confused about when the flick takes place.

Caught in the act!

My favorite Predator weapon? Definitely the net gun.

Bill Paxton sweating THROUGH HIS COAT! Why even wear a coat? Also, the conchita from The Running Man.

"There can only be one!" Watch for our commentary of Highlander -- hopefully coming soon.

Alien head! Alien head!

Episode 17: Rambo

Alright, here we go with just about the funniest movie I've seen in a long long time. Don't confuse this one with Rambo: First Blood Part II or any of the other Rambo movies. This is the fourth one. The one that just came out. The one where Sly Stallone was busted for steroid use during the production. With me as always are Zo and Jen. The first three minutes sounds a bit garbled because we had the movie turned up, but after that, it's pretty clear. Enjoy!

Wow, this horrible fascist army really is efficient when it comes to torturing. This is in the middle of a battle! "Off with his leg!"

"They call me School Boy because... yeah, well it's a lame name."

"Auuraaagghh! He got the point! Auuraarraagah!"

"Live for nothing. Die for something."

Before

After

Whenever Sylvester Stallone calls shotgun, you better dang well abide his request.

Hey, anyone see Ho Jon's head? Oh there it is, up there!

Okay, seriously. Is there any caption that I can possibly put here that would add anything at all to this screengrab? Seriously. Are you even reading this, or are you staring at some guy's head explode? This is two movies in a row where a steady theme has been "guys heads exploding."

Episode 15: Predator

Ahh, we're finally back into the swing of things. This time I brought along Matt "Zo" Lorenzo. He's a very vivid Arnold Fanclub member. Also along this time (for about five minutes) is John "Maxim" Maxim. The movie, of course, is Predator, my third favorite Arnold movie and their very favorite.

Insert hilarious joke about the erotic adventures of Thing from The Addams Family here.

Predator's allergic to water? Just like the aliens in Signs? What's with everyone from another planet not bathing? Isn't water necessary for life? What gives?

Arnold's spirit guide is -- wet dirt.

Episode 14: Poltergeist

Just in time for Halloween (barely)!

J.R. and I discuss a true rarity: a legitimately scary PG movie. BTW, there's a 10-minute sequence where we lost J.R.'s audio. I went back and commented during some of those parts. Kinda weird. It's a commentary on a commentary.

What do you think this kid's favorite movie is?

Clowns were always scary right?

Resisting intestinal force.

Tobe Hooper's beast.

Steven Spielberg's beast.

It doesn't matter how bad of a day I've had. I'll never rip off my own face.

Episode 13: Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan

Don't be alarmed if the title of this podcast says something weird like "Podcast 16" or something like that. This is a "simul-podcast" of The Jon Madsen Movie Commentary Podcast and J.R. Watches Star Trek for the First Time.

In the meantime, buckle in and enjoy the finest Star Trek film to date (even though the Enterprise doesn't have seat belts -- obviously). Ricardo Montalban gives the performance of his life here.

Khan: menacing to the end and also a stellar rack.

Kirk: finally finding a reason to emote.

Scotty: next time take the kid to sick bay!

Quien es mas macho?

Live long and prosper, Spock. Actually, never mind -- at least until the next movie.
