On this episode of Adjust Your Tracking, Joe and I use the release of “The Predator,” the third direct sequel in the alien hunting humans for sport series, to dive into all four movies. (We ignore the “Alien Vs. Predator” movies because we just don’t care. Deal with it.) “The Predator” has mostly been beat up by critics (though The Playlist’s review from TIFF was one of the more positive takes) yet it took the top spot at the box office this past weekend. If you’re looking for silver lining, though, you’ve come to the wrong place, because it actually made the same amount as the previous film back in 2010 and has a much higher budget. Oh, and we think it’s also by far the worst film in the series.
