    Episode 62 - Predator & Prey

    Episode 62 - Predator & Prey

    The co-hosts have watched PREY - the newest addition to the Predator franchise, and realized that they've never discussed any of the Predator movies on the show!
    On this episode they are correcting that mistake!  David Tavolier and Joshua Witsaman share their thoughts on the Hulu premiere of Prey and discuss the entirety of the Predator films, including the Alien vs. Predator duology.
    Per usual, beware of SPOILERS - and watch the trees!

    ***SPOILERS***
    On this episode of the podcast co-hosts David Tavolier and Joshua Witsaman discuss the recent Obi-Wan Kenobi series on Disney+.
    The co-hosts attempt to present a concise breakdown and review of the show, but as is the case whenever they cover a Star Wars related topic, Josh & Dave may find themselves going off on a tangent or two.
    Opinions will be shared, Star Wars canon will be scrutinized, and of course insignificant suggestions will inevitably be made.  Listen in to see if you agree - but beware, SPOILERS abound within!

Wowy wow

Great show for all things pop culture! Fun hosts and awesome topics 😯

The Real Rich ,

A good time

I enjoy listening to the show. They cover a lot of pop culture things I enjoy and there have been a few on things I am not that into but still enjoyed listening too even if they weren’t my normal areas of interest. After the Transformers episodes I even went to the comic shop and bought a graphic novel because they sold me on it, so if you own a comic shop this would be a solid replacement for your local college indie rock elevator music.

SHUT UP NERDS!

Just kidding, please keep talking. These guys are awesome! The Star Wars Dissection episodes were some of my favorites so far. Please dissect some other topics this intensely in the future... and of course all the new Star Wars movies and such on the way.

You even made a couple topics I had NO INTEREST in very intriguing. I may have binged an uncomfortable amount of Sailor Moon and Drag Race episodes after those pods.

This podcast feels just like being in the room with my nerd friends talking about random pop culture. Except the room is the space between my ears and when I talk you don’t respond...so it’s exactly like talking with my friends.

Also, clothes do have a soul...if soul=Force. And it does because now we know the force is in everything. When Jedi fade away they do always take their clothes with them (just not blankets for some reason), so it holds true.
