Sequels! A bizarro follow up to the iconic Predator, Predator 2 departs from the norm to deliver us action on top of sloppy social commentary. Is it terrible? Terrific?

It’s been 20 years since aliens landed on Earth and picked a fight with Will Smith and the rest of the human species, and since our victory they’ve been plotting and scheming on returning to our planet to finish the job they started in the 90s. Does humanity prevail? Is a Will Smith-less cast strong enough to hold up such a huge sequel? Did you like this movie or not? Let us know in the comments section.

Hosts of The Namor Podcast

…but not just Marvel fans, of course.

As many comic book fans over the decades can attest, few heroes are as polarizing, powerful and pissed-off as Namor the Submariner. Making his debut in 1939, the never-smiling, “first-mutant” of Marvel has been a part of some of the best story arcs in comic history.

But don’t take my word for it! Listen to my great friend (and my personal favorite tattoo artist) Shaun Kyle and his pals riff about Namor on The Namor Podcast.  Show some support and share the link with your friends.
