Podcast Overview

God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God created Man. Man created a podcast about dinosaurs. And then, the podcasters just kept going. Hold On to Your Butts started as a Jurassic Park rewatch podcast about how the biggest show on Earth lost its bite. But now that "Rebirth" has been birthed, Paul Karolyi and JD Lopez are revisiting other great franchises that once dominated the cultural landscape and now, well, don't. For season two, we tackled Indiana Jones because Disney is rebooting it, apparently without Harrison Ford, and we have feelings about that. And now in season three, it's time for our most-maligned franchise yet -- Predator. They've made nine movies, and we're still asking: what the heck even is a Predator?

Predators (2010) Finally Fixed the Franchise | Hold On To Your Butts Ep. 20

The Predator franchise gets a second chance. JD and Paul are joined by comedian Mitch Jones to revisit Predators (2010), the Robert Rodriguez-produced soft reboot that transported the series from the jungles of Earth to an alien hunting preserve. Did this movie succeed where the previous entries stumbled? The crew discusses Adrien Brody's unlikely action hero turn, Walton Goggins stealing scenes, Topher Grace's casting, Predator lore, Robert Rodriguez's original script, the franchise's expanding mythology, and whether Predators deserves more recognition as one of the strongest sequels in the series. Along the way they debate Predator society, the "Ripley-Verse," comic book canon, Hollywood casting, Bugs Bunny's influence on the English language, and why this movie feels like a return to form.

Alien vs. Predator: Requiem Is So Dark... We Could Barely See It | Hold On To Your Butts Ep. 19

The Predator series hits what many fans consider its lowest point. This week, JD and Paul are joined by comedian Ethan Everhart to break down Alien vs. Predator: Requiem (2007), the sequel infamous for being so dark that audiences literally couldn't tell what was happening on screen. The crew dives into Wolf the cleanup Predator, the Predator honor code, behind-the-scenes production stories, practical creature effects, why the movie pretends Vancouver is Gunnison, Colorado, and whether the franchise completely lost its way. Plus, there's plenty of time for discussions about streaming services, The Godfather, Stephen King, Predator vs. Santa Claus, and a surprising amount of Predator lore.

Alien vs. Predator Was Inevitable... But Was It Good? | Hold On To Your Butts Ep. 18

The ultimate movie crossover finally arrives. JD and Paul are joined by Ian Silverii (Get More Smarter Podcast, Bighorn Company) to tackle Alien vs. Predator (2004). The film that united two legendary sci-fi monsters after years of comics, rumors, and fan speculation. Was the crossover worth the wait? We discuss the surprisingly ambitious mythology behind the film, Paul W.S. Anderson's direction, practical vs. digital effects, Predator culture, Alien lore, why the movie went PG-13, and whether AVP deserves more credit than it gets. Along the way they also debate Predator presidential campaigns, connected cinematic universes before the MCU, DVD commentaries, Blade Runner connections, and which monster would actually be scarier to face. Featuring special guest: 🎙️ Ian Silverii (Get More Smarter Podcast & Bighorn Company)
