Spoilerpiece Theatre Episode 218: The Predator
In Episode 218 below, we review The Predator and The Wife, the two new big releases on the show. After Dave corrects a mistake he made in last week’s episode (re: whether “Trespass” by Genesis was released in 1970 or 1971), they get into The Wife (3:30), which features a fine performance by Jonathan Pryce and an EPIC Glenn Close performance. Kris and Dave disagree on how good it is (and Kris gets in a good dig at Dave at about 14:30), but they’re definitely on the same page about Close’s performance (also, Dave mixed up his pronouns at 20:59 and should have said, “He takes that from her,” not the other way around). Then it’s Shane Black’s The Predator (30:04), which we all saw. Two-thirds of us hated it and one-third liked it.
