Episode 178: Predator(s)

Blake sat down this week with a great conversation with Mike “Techno-Dunce” Bellamy and your good buddy Chase Bouzigard about the Predator franchise — four movies, comics, video games, and all that! Unfortunately, that program seems to be lost due to some sort of technical malfunction that has spent all day making Blake want to kick puppies in frustration. So instead, listen as a deeply apologetic Blake gives you his review of the new Predators film, along with this week’s picks — Chase enjoyed the new novel by Whitley Strieber, The Omega Point (probably), Blake was big on Avengers: The Children’s Crusade #1 and Mike dug Action Comics #890.
