New month, new theme... after spending last month looking at the past, in September we're "going back to (look at) the future!" That means we'll be talking about movies set in the future relative to film's release but in a year that has already happened in the real world. For instance: 1990's "Predator 2", set in near-future 1997 in Los Angeles. Ben, Bree, Sam, and Vaz discuss the extremely sweaty, trash-strewn action of this non-Arnold sequel.
Directed by Stephen Hopkins and starring Danny Glover, Gary Busey, Ruben Blades, María Conchita Alonso, Bill Paxton, and Kevin Peter Hall.
