Are the Predator movies more than just aliens versus muscles? Do they deserve credit for being more high brow than Morton Downey Jr’s presence in Predators 2 would suggest? And why the heck doesn’t Bryan think Danny Glover was absolutely beef cake in his role? What’s life’s great hunt anyway? In this episode the boys discuss the parallels between the Predators hunt for the ultimate trophy and our personal hunts in life. We ask the question, is the Predator franchise the best franchise out there? Is Alien VS Predator Requiem as bad as we think? BURING questions with burning answers. Once again David tears down Bryan to his base core to claim him as his ultimate trophy. Sit back, relax, and GET TO THE CHOPPA!!!!

Topics Discussed:

• Danny Glover’s muscles
• David's Newsletter
• Work Watch (trees smoking cigarettes)
• Shane Black’s tragic arc (The Predator)
• Daddy issues (No surprise)
• Alien VS Predator Rememberd
• The Busey Conundrum

It's father’s day for us and we don’t have a set topic because one of us quit their jobs and the other lacks a parental father figure. So we’re back on Surviving The Game: Work Watch Part Deux. Between Cantonese style scrambled eggs, lots of poop jokes, lots more poop jokes, we talk about all of life’s most important issues through a Twister Breakfast lens. You’d be surprised at the obnoxious amount of sense that makes once you listen to Bryan and David wax emotional about all of the above. Even if David has to get past Bryan getting his Steven Seagal movies wrong.        

Topics Discussed:

• Bowel Movements
• No Fathers on Fathers Day
• Twister (with Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt)
• Twister (starring Aunt Meg’s Breakfast)
• Job Loss; Half-Baked Style
• Job Depression
• Under Siege (or is it Fire Down Below)
• Fire Down Below (or is it Under Siege)

What is Magic? Is it all sorcerers, and illusionists, or is it another word for something we experience? Bryan asks David about what he thinks about magic, and off topic we go when it comes to the importance of writing, and the importance of watching too much violence as a kid. Let’s dive deeper into the twisting mind of author and Magic the Gathering pro DAVID and explore his lack of wonderment. Grab your magic three rings, pull that rabbit out of your hat, and deal out those magic cards because it's in an ALAKAMAZING episode! PRESTIGE! 

Topics Discussed:

• Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness (no spoilers)
• Magic the Gathering (nerdy)
• Magic the Battering (violence)

You probably don’t remember the philosophically-astute observations of the 90’s horror thriller Body Parts with Jeff Fahey, but Bryan and David do, and it stirs some ancient roots in their assumptions about good (Sam Neil from Event Horizon) and bad (Sam Neil from Event Horizon). Basically, if you love Sam Neil, without the Jurassic Park talk, you have found your home. Riding that Easter train we dive into how we manifest, believe, or understand the concept of good and evil in our lives, AND in Event Horizon. Come for the emotional development. stay for that SAM NEIL!

Topics Discussed:

• Body Parts
• Impressions of each other
• RIP Grandmother Ortiz
• Can evil be beyond our control?
• Event Horizon Hell vs. Hellraiser Hell?
• John Lithgow’s not British!

Even the combination of words in this title don’t do justice to just how much random material Bryan and David get out of discussing Easter. It turns into a debate about slasher Jesus, sure, but we get personal too. Eventually. Grab those GRAND BUNNIES, chocolate eggs, and cozy up with conversation you probably don't need, but we love that you're here with us. A24 may just have put out Everything Everywhere All at Once but just WAIT till they hear OUR pitch for the next holiday blockbuster. Come for the chocolate and stay for Zombie Jesus.

Topics Discussed:

• The meaning of Easter
• Work Watch 2022 and NEW YORK adventures
• The CREED concert to remember 
• Zombie Jesus
• Easter Egg Hunt
• A24 Film Pitch

If you thought we were being ironic about the “hate” we have for each other, this episode is for you. Bryan and David trade ‘chingasos’ because David is too jaded to enjoy a well-done superhero film, and Bryan is too enthusiastic to criticize an awful cameo. Come for the Batman discussion. Stay for the Trespass.
