Predator (1987): "Commandos Going Commando"

Update: 2025-09-16

Description

Is it just us, or are all these macho men kind of making eyes at each other? This week, we're heading into the jungle to encounter a creature we've never faced before — Predator (1987) — while armed with our hallmark homoerotic subtext goggles. That's right, these babies don't just have thermal or infrared vision, they can also pick apart all of the complicated threads of the poly relationships between Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, and their ragtag crew of body building heroes from over a mile away. Join us as we talk about masculinity, mandibles, memes, and more on our newest episode of Spooky Tuesday.
