Nathan Rabin's Happy Cast #24 - The Gary Busey Origin Story
This week, Nathan and Clint are two ugly motherfuckers trying to catch some prey in an unforgiving world, as we talk about two different entries in the Predator franchise! First, we break down what Clint hated (and Nathan found not so bad) about Shane Black’s latest, messiest entry in the series. Then, we take a time warp back to the far-flung future of 1997 Los Angeles for the deeply racist, yet shockingly entertaining Predator 2!
From there, we finally hash out the question that has plagued the Internet for the last two decades: Why are remakes? And what purpose do they serve?
