00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.879
Three two one, Hello touch, how welcome back to that.
2
00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:07.080
I think we're getting our streams across the movie.
3
00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:08.000
I think so.
4
00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:12.400
Hello that Clapperheads and welcome to indeed a very brand
5
00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:16.440
new episode of Clapper Talks in a very new set.
6
00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:19.839
We're training on something new, which I also which iring
7
00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:21.640
to be as close to you and as casual as
8
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:23.879
possible because you know, we're one of you guys. It's
9
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:25.679
just two heads on the couch. Yeah, I can go wrong.
10
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:30.760
We love our movies and I don't know anyway, today
11
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:33.479
we're gonna be talking about Predator bad Lads. So it's
12
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:36.200
kind of it's kind of right that Calvin touches my
13
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:38.079
thought on that one, because you know he is kind
14
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:46.039
of a anyway, So prenatal bad Lads, Welcome back, dude,
15
00:00:45.840 --> 00:01:00.200
feel good to be bad? No. So yeah, it's The
16
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.960
Badlands is now out in cinemas, and I think from
17
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.959
the guy go all I can say is Dan Trachtenberg
18
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:10.439
has the case to the Predator franchise, and only he
19
00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:13.599
should be the one gate keeping the franchise from now on.
20
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:16.959
Correct, Because right now when we're talking about Predator Badlands,
21
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:21.400
before this, we have War Predator Killer of Killers, Killers
22
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:22.040
and then pray.
23
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:24.719
Yeah, so he is three for three for if I'm
24
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:25.599
not mistaken, the.
25
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:29.920
I don't want to say the best, but so far
26
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:35.200
is the most law accurate predator trilogy.
27
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:36.400
Yes, three for three.
28
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:41.400
Yes, because he understands predator. Yes. From Prey, you already
29
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:44.760
know this is a guy that understands the law, understands
30
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:49.560
the fields, understands the environment and what a predator film is.
31
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:53.560
And now he's taking it one step further by expanding
32
00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:57.000
not only on the human side, but the predator side.
33
00:01:57.159 --> 00:01:59.959
See when Nick talked about not only the human side
34
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:03.640
but the predator side. It's very fascinating because Badlands is
35
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:05.560
the first time, if long was taken, the first time
36
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:09.280
we ever see a predator as the protagonist.
37
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:12.319
Yes the film, Yes, right, this would be the first
38
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:16.280
because it's always been the same standard story of humans
39
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:19.599
versus predator. We did change it up a little bit
40
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:23.240
in Predators. I think that was the last film that
41
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:26.639
came out before Prey where there was predator on predator action.
42
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:33.840
But once Prey came into the picture, it kind of
43
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:37.280
changed things up. It kind of made it seem again
44
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:40.159
we're going back to the roots of the first predator film.
45
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:43.879
It's tense, its action packed, but at the same time
46
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:46.560
has that air of mystery about it.
47
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:52.199
I feel like the original Predator movies, the one with
48
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:53.560
Danny Glover.
49
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:56.000
And then the one with Arnold Swazenegger.
50
00:02:56.159 --> 00:03:00.479
Arnold, those were the core when it comes to Predator.
51
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:02.599
Yeah, and then we have the other.
52
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:06.919
Predator films were you know, it's it's a very two
53
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:09.719
thousand esque action movie where you're.
54
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:11.960
Just watching it for the sake of watching it.
55
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:16.319
Yeah, is there because it's a predator film, so there.
56
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:19.759
Is no emotions. The characters are very disposable. The predators
57
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:21.439
are just there for the sake of being the big
58
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:28.199
bad and Overallly it's just you know, you walk out
59
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:33.240
of the cinema not remembering anything but oh human predator, kill,
60
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:34.960
human being, human, smart.
61
00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:35.240
Human good.
62
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:35.560
Yeah.
63
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:37.599
But when it comes to prey, when it comes to
64
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:41.800
a Killer of Killers, when it comes to bad Lands anything,
65
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:47.879
then Trachtenberg, I would say it has a very emotional
66
00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:51.159
attachment to it in a sense where you feel like
67
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:52.319
the characters.
68
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:54.759
You you feel like.
69
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:58.639
Them, cyang if they can look when they die, you know.
70
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:02.439
And then Kill of Killers expanded that lore of like
71
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:06.400
you know, yes, the human one, but they also get
72
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:11.000
adapted into this kind of colosseum fighting stuff.
73
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:14.319
Yes, now we won't go into two much spoilers with
74
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:17.560

And until then we'll go back to the show.
98
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:32.480
Keep watching. The movie got out now with Predator bad Plands,
99
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:35.639
I will say it's a film that I think not
100
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:39.399
a lot of people would expect, like the trailers did
101
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:44.439
mislead you in a sense, because yes, it's a predator film,
102
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:48.639
but it's also an alien versus predator film, and it's
103
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:54.000
also a buddy comedy a little bit. That's why I
104
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:57.120
say it's very different than what we would expect.
105
00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:59.720
Now that you mentioned the whole buddy comedy thing. Yes,
106
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:03.439
I definitely foresee it. Yeah, Alien in the sense where
107
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:05.920
you are in an alien world, not.
108
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:07.800
Not the Zeno the.
109
00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:11.639
Zeno no more with the whyland Utani area of the
110
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:13.199
Alien franchise, which.
111
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:15.879
Is the I mean, when you watch Alien Earth, you
112
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:21.279
see the expanded universe of not just zenomph and also predators,
113
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:25.000
which is which is what what what are they called here?
114
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:25.319
Again?
115
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:29.439
They're called the Yao tai no yaoja yaouja.
116
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:32.079
Yeah, they're called the Yaucha race.
117
00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:35.519
Right, but you see a lot more different aliens, which
118
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:38.879
is the same thing we saw in this weird planet
119
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:44.120
in alien in in Badlands, Yes, essentially, the whole story
120
00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:48.439
is this predator called that I have it.
121
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:50.120
Oh, yeah, you have it. You have it. You're the
122
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:53.120
back of the DVD. This is what I broke. You are, uh.
123
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:57.480
Predator Badlands twenty twenty five is the newest installment in
124
00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:01.720
the franchise, a daring and bald move for Dan Trachtenberg,
125
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:03.560
mainly because this is the first time we see a
126
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:07.319
protagonist who is a predator named d e K d
127
00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:11.680
K d e K named from the Cha race. He's
128
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:14.360
an adolescent predator who is also the weakest in his
129
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:17.000
clan and he's set out to prove prove himself by
130
00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:21.040
hunting the big bad adversary and was born at for
131
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:26.759
you uh And during his strip, during his strip, during
132
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:32.079
his trip trip trip, during his trip, he meets a
133
00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:40.199
sink England we believe in During his trip, he meets
134
00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:43.639
a sink sint synth called.
135
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:46.720
Thea from the whalen Utan.
136
00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:57.519
Whalen Corporation, Yes, Whalen Corporation. Well, so that's basically the summary.
137
00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:00.439
If I go any further, I would definitely win the
138
00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:03.240
movie for you, so I would refrain from doing that. Yes,
139
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:08.639
but yeah, it's a buddy cop It's a reluctant buddy
140
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:14.600
cock film. It is spoken in three different languages, in English, Yaocha,
141
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:16.279
and Monkey.
142
00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:20.480
We won't get too much into the monkey because that
143
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:23.279
is sort of a spoiler, So let's not talk about
144
00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:26.639
the monkey. Always going to say this is monkey good,
145
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:32.200
monkey fun. But yes, at the same time, like we
146
00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:36.279
talk about how it's fun, there is more of a
147
00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:40.600
humor element to this compared to previous Predator Friend installments,
148
00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:43.360
But at the same time, there is still very much
149
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:46.919
of the predator essence within this film. There is still
150
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.559
the massive amounts of gore. The violence is still on point,
151
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:54.600
the fight sequences are still on point, but it's just
152
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:59.879
this time you really sympathize with the predator with that,
153
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:05.159
and again, because he doesn't have the mask, he has
154
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:08.960
this wide range of emotions that I've never seen on
155
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:10.039
a predator before.
156
00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:11.200
And vulnerability.
157
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:15.879
Vulnerability, Yes, because this is more of a younger predator,
158
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:18.759
he is still I want to put him into sort
159
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:22.480
of a young adult territory, so he hasn't reached that
160
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:27.000
sort of stoic Predator that we know, because I feel
161
00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:31.440
like a lot of Predator fans, the diehardsler might have
162
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:33.679
an issue with this. I may be wrong, but might
163
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:36.120
have an issue with this in the sense of like, oh,
164
00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:39.960
this isn't you know dark, Why is Predator making jokes?
165
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:42.519
Why is this guy like, you know, bit weak at times?
166
00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:45.960
This isn't Predator And I thought about that while watching it,
167
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:50.440
and then my explanation is, Yeah, he's young, he hasn't
168
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:53.840
developed this yet. This is Batman year one where he's
169
00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:55.159
still trying to find his footing.
170
00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:59.320
I feel like the plot or the majority of the
171
00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:06.120
film reminded me of the very first film of Hunger Games,
172
00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:10.240
where you are put into a foreign planet, you are
173
00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:13.759
proving yourself, you are scrapping by with everything you have
174
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:16.480
in your environment, and then you're trying to hunt a big,
175
00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:21.080
bad right. And it really made me, like you said,
176
00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:25.919
sympathize with Deck because shit, I throughout.
177
00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:29.519
The whole film, I just wanted to see him succeed.
178
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:32.360
And they are parts of the film where it make
179
00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:35.320
you feel like justice has not been served for Deck
180
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:39.279
because he is the weakest in his clan right, and
181
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:43.240
he is comparatively a lot smaller in size compared to
182
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.440
the other predators that we're seeing in the film.
183
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:50.080
So I was cheering for him the entire time.
184
00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:55.080
Yes and no, no, no, and yeah. Adding on to that,
185
00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:58.440
it's just this, it's so weird that I have so
186
00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:02.840
many emotions for this one predator, Like he feels more
187
00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:06.360
human than the humans in this film, of which they
188
00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:09.120
are very little but there are. But at the same time,
189
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:14.440
he feels so human. And like I said, Tracktenberg has
190
00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:18.320
been on a role in expanding this predator universe. With Prey,
191
00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:21.720
we see what the predator would have been in SA
192
00:11:21.879 --> 00:11:24.600
Native American times back then, and then we kill her.
193
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:28.600
Of killers, we discover, oh, summer, there's there's summer predators.
194
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:31.840
There's so many different specialties of predators.
195
00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:34.440
It's like it's like when you're playing an RPG game
196
00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:39.960
and they they specialize into their individual individualistic classes.
197
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:42.279
Like there's a there's a very nimble role.
198
00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:46.000
Yes, there is like a warlord class, and there's so many.
199
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:49.159
There's a pilot, yeah, yes, there was the pilot predator.
200
00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:52.720
Say yeah, So I love what he is doing and
201
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:56.200
trying to expand it because it's been too long. We
202
00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:59.720
focused on the human story. Let's find out what goes
203
00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:03.120
on on their side of things, and sure enough, it's
204
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:06.799
like an Avatar kind of story, like you're not human,
205
00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:08.279
but you are human.
206
00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:08.679
Yep.
207
00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:11.879
Yeah, and after the break, we'll just talk about the
208
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:15.240
actors who were playing this film, although there's not many
209
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:19.519
of them, but the camaraderie and also the chemistry between
210
00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:23.399
the actors, although you know we're talking about aliens versus synthetics,
211
00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:24.679
is quite unique.
212
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:26.080
Yeah, after the break will touch on.
213
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:29.679
That and also Shadow of Colossus surprising me see you
214
00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:30.240
a bit.
215
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:39.840
Okay, Nick, I'm going to try my best to pronounce
216
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:40.240
his name.
217
00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:48.919
Yes, the actor who plays Deck, Demetrius scuzer.
218
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:52.720
Co Loo Matangi.
219
00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:55.360
Okay, even I would have trouble with his name, so
220
00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:59.960
let me try. No, no disrespect, no disrespect. Demetrius shoots
221
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:03.879
the color of a Tangi. Maybe maybe it's if that's
222
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:06.480
your name, we might have butchered it. But yes, you
223
00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:10.320
and el Fanning, the two of you were the pillars
224
00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:15.360
of this film. Yep. It could not work with Deck alone,
225
00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:18.679
it could not work with fear Alde. You needed the
226
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:24.159
two of them, and they have surprisingly a chemistry that
227
00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:30.120
feels so natural that opposites of personalities. You've got el Fanning,
228
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:33.480
who is bubbly and fun and has a heart of goal,
229
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:37.399
and then you have Deck with its the stereotypical hard predator.
230
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:39.919
And just mind you throw out your entire film that
231
00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:42.440
don't speak a lick of English.
232
00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:46.120
No, he was just groaning, shouting, moaning.
233
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:49.559
And in the language that was developed for them.
234
00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:50.440
For the Ulti race.
235
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:53.320
Right, yeah, and we are.
236
00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:59.919
We only heard your conversation through a universal translator because
237
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:03.440
because Elf Fanning's characters, THEA is a synthetic.
238
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:09.360
Yeah, so she can. We may hear English, they hear Yeah.
239
00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:12.399
So it's it's interesting to see that because it gave
240
00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:16.360
again that sense of authenticity that he never spoke English.
241
00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:19.519
He just spoke his native language. And we got subtitles
242
00:14:19.519 --> 00:14:22.080
for it, so you don't worry. You can understand that
243
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:23.639
there are subtitles. You know, we're going to sit there
244
00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:26.559
and go, man, I should have learned the dictionary. But
245
00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:30.039
I do want to give special credit to el Fanning
246
00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:37.000
only because her dual role as THEA and Tessa, two
247
00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:47.480
vastly different characters but look identical. Yeah, yeah, you didn't
248
00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:52.039
notice that, No, I really did not wait double it
249
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:54.919
is true, because yeah, they look identical, and I thought
250
00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:58.320
they were both synthetics. So they're both synthetics of their
251
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:04.759
of each other and sister, both of them portrayed by
252
00:15:04.759 --> 00:15:05.200
Elf Fannie.
253
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:12.360
Yeah, blew your mind, No wonder it looks so like yeah, dude,
254
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:16.240
to be fair, to be fair, the other male synthetics
255
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:17.240
all look the same or soul.
256
00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:19.919
Oh, but the female synthetics they only had one. Law
257
00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:24.279
it's a Boba fair situation. You had the male.
258
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:25.960
Synthetics almost the same or soul.
259
00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:28.799
Right, Yeah, that's why I say Boba fet situation like
260
00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:34.320
Jen Feir. Okay, anyway, anyways, but you see, that is
261
00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:37.799
the power of el Fanning's acting in this, that she
262
00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:41.919
was so vastly different as Tessa and Thea that you
263
00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:45.519
thought it was two different people. Yes, there is a
264
00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:48.840
level of the makeup to it as well, but they're
265
00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:53.960
essentially the same person. So Elf Fanning honestly deserves an
266
00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:58.120
award for this because it was so different, and that
267
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:05.519
is testament to acting abilities. Now, sorry, I did mention
268
00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:09.120
before the break about Shadow of Colossus, and I think
269
00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:14.000
once I talk about this, everything is gonna make sense
270
00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:17.840
of why this film turned out the way that it did. Now.
271
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:22.679
Dan Trachtenberg recently stated in an interview which I will
272
00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:26.279
pull out I'll give me one second, where he said
273
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:30.000
that his love for video games really helped along with
274
00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:33.600
Predator bad Lands, in specific the two thousand and five
275
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:39.039
PlayStation masterpiece Shadow of Colossus, as I'm inspired by movies
276
00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:42.360
and video games Shadow of Colossus, where you have a
277
00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:45.799
protagonist paired with someone else who provides color and explanation
278
00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:49.000
and connection. There's a thing with a horse in Shadow
279
00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:51.799
of Colossus that's devastating when you play the game. And
280
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:54.159
so Predator bad Lands was a little bit inspired by
281
00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:56.720
that in terms of wanting to see the Predator with
282
00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:02.240
someone else, this character who's the complete opposite of him.
283
00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:06.240
And then once I read that, I was like, actually, yeah,
284
00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:09.680
because it plays out almost like a video game, because
285
00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:12.559
they kept saying because he's a predator, he needs to
286
00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:16.279
get his trophy, and.
287
00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:16.720
I definitely can see it.
288
00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:19.519
I see the resemblance. Like I say, it's a very.
289
00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:24.039
RPGG yes, yes, right, it's like you're watching an hour
290
00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:25.559
fifteen minute cut scene.
291
00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:29.960
Yeah. And then that first opening shot where you see
292
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:34.200
the land itself and that Badass opening soundtrack, I'm like,
293
00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:38.000
that's a video game opener to sell the scene. So
294
00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:42.519
I'm like, oh, this is what happens when a director
295
00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:45.319
who loves video games makes a film. There's a lot
296
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:47.880
of video game influence in this, and I believe Shadow
297
00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:51.720
of the Shadow of Colossus is a great inspiration because
298
00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:56.799
that in itself was such a cinematic game. So yeah,
299
00:17:57.400 --> 00:17:59.680
I think that's all you need to know about Predator
300
00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:03.519
bad at this point. If you've never seen a Predator film,
301
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:07.240
this honestly is a great first entry to get that going,
302
00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:11.200
because I feel like it's lighthearted enough for new viewers
303
00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:14.759
but also deep and violent enough for old facs.
304
00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:17.839
Yes, for sure, you don't have to be rooted into
305
00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:22.519
the lore of og Predator, Prey of Killer of Killers,
306
00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:24.960
even if you're just watching this as a stand alone
307
00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:26.799
and you just want some action and.
308
00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:28.880
Some really really really really.
309
00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:32.200
Good storyline slash acting, Badlands tiptop.
310
00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:35.279
Yeah, so go and check it out now. It is
311
00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:39.160

Kelvin Tayor and take it and please? What is my
315
00:18:50.599 --> 00:18:53.640
type line? I keep watching the movies. My god, it
316
00:18:53.720 --> 00:19:05.279
has been that long, by three two one. Fantastic, Yes, okay.
317
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:16.000
Never would I ever thought that I would sympathize with
318
00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:19.000
the predator, not only that joke with him too.
319
00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:24.640
Huh. Let's get away right, what the funny to say?
1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.879
Three two one, Hello touch, how welcome back to that.
2
00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:07.080
I think we're getting our streams across the movie.
3
00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:08.000
I think so.
4
00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:12.400
Hello that Clapperheads and welcome to indeed a very brand
5
00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:16.440
new episode of Clapper Talks in a very new set.
6
00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:19.839
We're training on something new, which I also which iring
7
00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:21.640
to be as close to you and as casual as
8
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:23.879
possible because you know, we're one of you guys. It's
9
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:25.679
just two heads on the couch. Yeah, I can go wrong.
10
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:30.760
We love our movies and I don't know anyway, today
11
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:33.479
we're gonna be talking about Predator bad Lads. So it's
12
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:36.200
kind of it's kind of right that Calvin touches my
13
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:38.079
thought on that one, because you know he is kind
14
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:46.039
of a anyway, So prenatal bad Lads, Welcome back, dude,
15
00:00:45.840 --> 00:01:00.200
feel good to be bad? No. So yeah, it's The
16
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.960
Badlands is now out in cinemas, and I think from
17
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.959
the guy go all I can say is Dan Trachtenberg
18
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:10.439
has the case to the Predator franchise, and only he
19
00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:13.599
should be the one gate keeping the franchise from now on.
20
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:16.959
Correct, Because right now when we're talking about Predator Badlands,
21
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:21.400
before this, we have War Predator Killer of Killers, Killers
22
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:22.040
and then pray.
23
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:24.719
Yeah, so he is three for three for if I'm
24
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:25.599
not mistaken, the.
25
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:29.920
I don't want to say the best, but so far
26
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:35.200
is the most law accurate predator trilogy.
27
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:36.400
Yes, three for three.
28
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:41.400
Yes, because he understands predator. Yes. From Prey, you already
29
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:44.760
know this is a guy that understands the law, understands
30
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:49.560
the fields, understands the environment and what a predator film is.
31
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:53.560
And now he's taking it one step further by expanding
32
00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:57.000
not only on the human side, but the predator side.
33
00:01:57.159 --> 00:01:59.959
See when Nick talked about not only the human side
34
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:03.640
but the predator side. It's very fascinating because Badlands is
35
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:05.560
the first time, if long was taken, the first time
36
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:09.280
we ever see a predator as the protagonist.
37
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:12.319
Yes the film, Yes, right, this would be the first
38
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:16.280
because it's always been the same standard story of humans
39
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:19.599
versus predator. We did change it up a little bit
40
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:23.240
in Predators. I think that was the last film that
41
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:26.639
came out before Prey where there was predator on predator action.
42
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:33.840
But once Prey came into the picture, it kind of
43
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:37.280
changed things up. It kind of made it seem again
44
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:40.159
we're going back to the roots of the first predator film.
45
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:43.879
It's tense, its action packed, but at the same time
46
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:46.560
has that air of mystery about it.
47
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:52.199
I feel like the original Predator movies, the one with
48
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:53.560
Danny Glover.
49
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:56.000
And then the one with Arnold Swazenegger.
50
00:02:56.159 --> 00:03:00.479
Arnold, those were the core when it comes to Predator.
51
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:02.599
Yeah, and then we have the other.
52
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:06.919
Predator films were you know, it's it's a very two
53
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:09.719
thousand esque action movie where you're.
54
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:11.960
Just watching it for the sake of watching it.
55
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:16.319
Yeah, is there because it's a predator film, so there.
56
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:19.759
Is no emotions. The characters are very disposable. The predators
57
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:21.439
are just there for the sake of being the big
58
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:28.199
bad and Overallly it's just you know, you walk out
59
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:33.240
of the cinema not remembering anything but oh human predator, kill,
60
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:34.960
human being, human, smart.
61
00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:35.240
Human good.
62
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:35.560
Yeah.
63
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:37.599
But when it comes to prey, when it comes to
64
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:41.800
a Killer of Killers, when it comes to bad Lands anything,
65
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:47.879
then Trachtenberg, I would say it has a very emotional
66
00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:51.159
attachment to it in a sense where you feel like
67
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:52.319
the characters.
68
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:54.759
You you feel like.
69
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:58.639
Them, cyang if they can look when they die, you know.
70
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:02.439
And then Kill of Killers expanded that lore of like
71
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:06.400
you know, yes, the human one, but they also get
72
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:11.000
adapted into this kind of colosseum fighting stuff.
73
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:14.319
Yes, now we won't go into two much spoilers with
74

And until then we'll go back to the show.
98
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:32.480
Keep watching. The movie got out now with Predator bad Plands,
99
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:35.639
I will say it's a film that I think not
100
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:39.399
a lot of people would expect, like the trailers did
101
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:44.439
mislead you in a sense, because yes, it's a predator film,
102
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:48.639
but it's also an alien versus predator film, and it's
103
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:54.000
also a buddy comedy a little bit. That's why I
104
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:57.120
say it's very different than what we would expect.
105
00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:59.720
Now that you mentioned the whole buddy comedy thing. Yes,
106
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:03.439
I definitely foresee it. Yeah, Alien in the sense where
107
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:05.920
you are in an alien world, not.
108
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:07.800
Not the Zeno the.
109
00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:11.639
Zeno no more with the whyland Utani area of the
110
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:13.199
Alien franchise, which.
111
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:15.879
Is the I mean, when you watch Alien Earth, you
112
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:21.279
see the expanded universe of not just zenomph and also predators,
113
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:25.000
which is which is what what what are they called here?
114
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:25.319
Again?
115
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:29.439
They're called the Yao tai no yaoja yaouja.
116
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:32.079
Yeah, they're called the Yaucha race.
117
00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:35.519
Right, but you see a lot more different aliens, which
118
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:38.879
is the same thing we saw in this weird planet
119
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:44.120
in alien in in Badlands, Yes, essentially, the whole story
120
00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:48.439
is this predator called that I have it.
121
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:50.120
Oh, yeah, you have it. You have it. You're the
122
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:53.120
back of the DVD. This is what I broke. You are, uh.
123
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:57.480
Predator Badlands twenty twenty five is the newest installment in
124
00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:01.720
the franchise, a daring and bald move for Dan Trachtenberg,
125
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:03.560
mainly because this is the first time we see a
126
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:07.319
protagonist who is a predator named d e K d
127
00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:11.680
K d e K named from the Cha race. He's
128
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:14.360
an adolescent predator who is also the weakest in his
129
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:17.000
clan and he's set out to prove prove himself by
130
00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:21.040
hunting the big bad adversary and was born at for
131
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:26.759
you uh And during his strip, during his strip, during
132
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:32.079
his trip trip trip, during his trip, he meets a
133
00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:40.199
sink England we believe in During his trip, he meets
134
00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:43.639
a sink sint synth called.
135
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:46.720
Thea from the whalen Utan.
136
00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:57.519
Whalen Corporation, Yes, Whalen Corporation. Well, so that's basically the summary.
137
00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:00.439
If I go any further, I would definitely win the
138
00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:03.240
movie for you, so I would refrain from doing that. Yes,
139
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:08.639
but yeah, it's a buddy cop It's a reluctant buddy
140
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:14.600
cock film. It is spoken in three different languages, in English, Yaocha,
141
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:16.279
and Monkey.
142
00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:20.480
We won't get too much into the monkey because that
143
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:23.279
is sort of a spoiler, So let's not talk about
144
00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:26.639
the monkey. Always going to say this is monkey good,
145
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:32.200
monkey fun. But yes, at the same time, like we
146
00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:36.279
talk about how it's fun, there is more of a
147
00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:40.600
humor element to this compared to previous Predator Friend installments,
148
00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:43.360
But at the same time, there is still very much
149
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:46.919
of the predator essence within this film. There is still
150
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.559
the massive amounts of gore. The violence is still on point,
151
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:54.600
the fight sequences are still on point, but it's just
152
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:59.879
this time you really sympathize with the predator with that,
153
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:05.159
and again, because he doesn't have the mask, he has
154
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:08.960
this wide range of emotions that I've never seen on
155
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:10.039
a predator before.
156
00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:11.200
And vulnerability.
157
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:15.879
Vulnerability, Yes, because this is more of a younger predator,
158
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:18.759
he is still I want to put him into sort
159
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:22.480
of a young adult territory, so he hasn't reached that
160
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:27.000
sort of stoic Predator that we know, because I feel
161
00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:31.440
like a lot of Predator fans, the diehardsler might have
162
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:33.679
an issue with this. I may be wrong, but might
163
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:36.120
have an issue with this in the sense of like, oh,
164
00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:39.960
this isn't you know dark, Why is Predator making jokes?
165
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:42.519
Why is this guy like, you know, bit weak at times?
166
00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:45.960
This isn't Predator And I thought about that while watching it,
167
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:50.440
and then my explanation is, Yeah, he's young, he hasn't
168
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:53.840
developed this yet. This is Batman year one where he's
169
00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:55.159
still trying to find his footing.
170
00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:59.320
I feel like the plot or the majority of the
171
00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:06.120
film reminded me of the very first film of Hunger Games,
172
00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:10.240
where you are put into a foreign planet, you are
173
00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:13.759
proving yourself, you are scrapping by with everything you have
174
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:16.480
in your environment, and then you're trying to hunt a big,
175
00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:21.080
bad right. And it really made me, like you said,
176
00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:25.919
sympathize with Deck because shit, I throughout.
177
00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:29.519
The whole film, I just wanted to see him succeed.
178
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:32.360
And they are parts of the film where it make
179
00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:35.320
you feel like justice has not been served for Deck
180
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:39.279
because he is the weakest in his clan right, and
181
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:43.240
he is comparatively a lot smaller in size compared to
182
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.440
the other predators that we're seeing in the film.
183
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:50.080
So I was cheering for him the entire time.
184
00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:55.080
Yes and no, no, no, and yeah. Adding on to that,
185
00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:58.440
it's just this, it's so weird that I have so
186
00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:02.840
many emotions for this one predator, Like he feels more
187
00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:06.360
human than the humans in this film, of which they
188
00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:09.120
are very little but there are. But at the same time,
189
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:14.440
he feels so human. And like I said, Tracktenberg has
190
00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:18.320
been on a role in expanding this predator universe. With Prey,
191
00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:21.720
we see what the predator would have been in SA
192
00:11:21.879 --> 00:11:24.600
Native American times back then, and then we kill her.
193
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:28.600
Of killers, we discover, oh, summer, there's there's summer predators.
194
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:31.840
There's so many different specialties of predators.
195
00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:34.440
It's like it's like when you're playing an RPG game
196
00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:39.960
and they they specialize into their individual individualistic classes.
197
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:42.279
Like there's a there's a very nimble role.
198
00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:46.000
Yes, there is like a warlord class, and there's so many.
199
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:49.159
There's a pilot, yeah, yes, there was the pilot predator.
200
00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:52.720
Say yeah, So I love what he is doing and
201
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:56.200
trying to expand it because it's been too long. We
202
00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:59.720
focused on the human story. Let's find out what goes
203
00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:03.120
on on their side of things, and sure enough, it's
204
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:06.799
like an Avatar kind of story, like you're not human,
205
00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:08.279
but you are human.
206
00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:08.679
Yep.
207
00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:11.879
Yeah, and after the break, we'll just talk about the
208
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:15.240
actors who were playing this film, although there's not many
209
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:19.519
of them, but the camaraderie and also the chemistry between
210
00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:23.399
the actors, although you know we're talking about aliens versus synthetics,
211
00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:24.679
is quite unique.
212
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:26.080
Yeah, after the break will touch on.
213
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:29.679
That and also Shadow of Colossus surprising me see you
214
00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:30.240
a bit.
215
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:39.840
Okay, Nick, I'm going to try my best to pronounce
216
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:40.240
his name.
217
00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:48.919
Yes, the actor who plays Deck, Demetrius scuzer.
218
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:52.720
Co Loo Matangi.
219
00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:55.360
Okay, even I would have trouble with his name, so
220
00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:59.960
let me try. No, no disrespect, no disrespect. Demetrius shoots
221
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:03.879
the color of a Tangi. Maybe maybe it's if that's
222
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:06.480
your name, we might have butchered it. But yes, you
223
00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:10.320
and el Fanning, the two of you were the pillars
224
00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:15.360
of this film. Yep. It could not work with Deck alone,
225
00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:18.679
it could not work with fear Alde. You needed the
226
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:24.159
two of them, and they have surprisingly a chemistry that
227
00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:30.120
feels so natural that opposites of personalities. You've got el Fanning,
228
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:33.480
who is bubbly and fun and has a heart of goal,
229
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:37.399
and then you have Deck with its the stereotypical hard predator.
230
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:39.919
And just mind you throw out your entire film that
231
00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:42.440
don't speak a lick of English.
232
00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:46.120
No, he was just groaning, shouting, moaning.
233
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:49.559
And in the language that was developed for them.
234
00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:50.440
For the Ulti race.
235
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:53.320
Right, yeah, and we are.
236
00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:59.919
We only heard your conversation through a universal translator because
237
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:03.440
because Elf Fanning's characters, THEA is a synthetic.
238
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:09.360
Yeah, so she can. We may hear English, they hear Yeah.
239
00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:12.399
So it's it's interesting to see that because it gave
240
00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:16.360
again that sense of authenticity that he never spoke English.
241
00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:19.519
He just spoke his native language. And we got subtitles
242
00:14:19.519 --> 00:14:22.080
for it, so you don't worry. You can understand that
243
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:23.639
there are subtitles. You know, we're going to sit there
244
00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:26.559
and go, man, I should have learned the dictionary. But
245
00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:30.039
I do want to give special credit to el Fanning
246
00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:37.000
only because her dual role as THEA and Tessa, two
247
00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:47.480
vastly different characters but look identical. Yeah, yeah, you didn't
248
00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:52.039
notice that, No, I really did not wait double it
249
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:54.919
is true, because yeah, they look identical, and I thought
250
00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:58.320
they were both synthetics. So they're both synthetics of their
251
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:04.759
of each other and sister, both of them portrayed by
252
00:15:04.759 --> 00:15:05.200
Elf Fannie.
253
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:12.360
Yeah, blew your mind, No wonder it looks so like yeah, dude,
254
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:16.240
to be fair, to be fair, the other male synthetics
255
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:17.240
all look the same or soul.
256
00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:19.919
Oh, but the female synthetics they only had one. Law
257
00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:24.279
it's a Boba fair situation. You had the male.
258
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:25.960
Synthetics almost the same or soul.
259
00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:28.799
Right, Yeah, that's why I say Boba fet situation like
260
00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:34.320
Jen Feir. Okay, anyway, anyways, but you see, that is
261
00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:37.799
the power of el Fanning's acting in this, that she
262
00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:41.919
was so vastly different as Tessa and Thea that you
263
00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:45.519
thought it was two different people. Yes, there is a
264
00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:48.840
level of the makeup to it as well, but they're
265
00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:53.960
essentially the same person. So Elf Fanning honestly deserves an
266
00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:58.120
award for this because it was so different, and that
267
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:05.519
is testament to acting abilities. Now, sorry, I did mention
268
00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:09.120
before the break about Shadow of Colossus, and I think
269
00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:14.000
once I talk about this, everything is gonna make sense
270
00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:17.840
of why this film turned out the way that it did. Now.
271
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:22.679
Dan Trachtenberg recently stated in an interview which I will
272
00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:26.279
pull out I'll give me one second, where he said
273
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:30.000
that his love for video games really helped along with
274
00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:33.600
Predator bad Lands, in specific the two thousand and five
275
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:39.039
PlayStation masterpiece Shadow of Colossus, as I'm inspired by movies
276
00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:42.360
and video games Shadow of Colossus, where you have a
277
00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:45.799
protagonist paired with someone else who provides color and explanation
278
00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:49.000
and connection. There's a thing with a horse in Shadow
279
00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:51.799
of Colossus that's devastating when you play the game. And
280
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:54.159
so Predator bad Lands was a little bit inspired by
281
00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:56.720
that in terms of wanting to see the Predator with
282
00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:02.240
someone else, this character who's the complete opposite of him.
283
00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:06.240
And then once I read that, I was like, actually, yeah,
284
00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:09.680
because it plays out almost like a video game, because
285
00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:12.559
they kept saying because he's a predator, he needs to
286
00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:16.279
get his trophy, and.
287
00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:16.720
I definitely can see it.
288
00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:19.519
I see the resemblance. Like I say, it's a very.
289
00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:24.039
RPGG yes, yes, right, it's like you're watching an hour
290
00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:25.559
fifteen minute cut scene.
291
00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:29.960
Yeah. And then that first opening shot where you see
292
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:34.200
the land itself and that Badass opening soundtrack, I'm like,
293
00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:38.000
that's a video game opener to sell the scene. So
294
00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:42.519
I'm like, oh, this is what happens when a director
295
00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:45.319
who loves video games makes a film. There's a lot
296
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:47.880
of video game influence in this, and I believe Shadow
297
00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:51.720
of the Shadow of Colossus is a great inspiration because
298
00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:56.799
that in itself was such a cinematic game. So yeah,
299
00:17:57.400 --> 00:17:59.680
I think that's all you need to know about Predator
300
00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:03.519
bad at this point. If you've never seen a Predator film,
301
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:07.240
this honestly is a great first entry to get that going,
302
00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:11.200
because I feel like it's lighthearted enough for new viewers
303
00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:14.759
but also deep and violent enough for old facs.
304
00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:17.839
Yes, for sure, you don't have to be rooted into
305
00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:22.519
the lore of og Predator, Prey of Killer of Killers,
306
00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:24.960
even if you're just watching this as a stand alone
307
00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:26.799
and you just want some action and.
308
00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:28.880
Some really really really really.
309
00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:32.200
Good storyline slash acting, Badlands tiptop.
310
00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:35.279
Yeah, so go and check it out now. It is
311
00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:39.160
in Malaysian cinemas a nationwide. As always, you can check
312
00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:42.240
us out on social media, I TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, all
313
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:46.559
the social media's at Clappercorn. As always, I'm Lidorian, I'm
314
00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:50.480
Kelvin Tayor and take it and please? What is my
315
00:18:50.599 --> 00:18:53.640
type line? I keep watching the movies. My god, it
316
00:18:53.720 --> 00:19:05.279
has been that long, by three two one. Fantastic, Yes, okay.
317
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:16.000
Never would I ever thought that I would sympathize with
318
00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:19.000
the predator, not only that joke with him too.
319
00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:24.640
Huh. Let's get away right, what the funny to say?
