ANR Geekly 209 - Does Elvin have Toy Fatigue?

·1 hr 22 min·5 clips

The Predator in Prey and Killer of Killers looks weak because the writing makes it weak.

1. ANR Geekly 209 focuses on toy talk, movies, TV, and a heated critique of Predator: Killer of Killers. 2. Alvin hosts with D on the other side of the mic, and Ryan and Tav are mentioned during collection and headphone talk. 3. The episode asks whether new movies, figures, and collector releases are worth the time and money. 4. The opening deals with audio problems, D’s allergies, and a SteelSeries Arctis 7 headset check. 5. Alvin explains the weekly dad-joke format and asks listeners to tag jokes as “dad” or “sad.” 6. Collector talk starts with a message from Ryan about a collection photo and a discussion of Miles Morales figure ownership. 7. The hosts also mention watching Shane Gillis’ Netflix series Tires and binging about five episodes. 8. Alvin brings up the anime 86 and says he is on episode 3. 9. He also discusses To Be a Hero X and says he dislikes 3D animated anime parts. 10. The biggest movie segment is Predator: Killer of Killers, which Alvin says is weak in every story line. 11. He breaks that film into Viking, samurai, and World War II sections and says each Predator should have felt more dangerous. 12. He compares the newer films to the original Predator with Arnold Schwarzenegger and says the old version felt more threatening. 13. He also uses Danny Glover’s Predator sequel as a comparison point while arguing the franchise needs smarter scripts. 14. Another complaint centers on a flying Predator in the World War II section and the lack of a laser weapon. 15. Alvin says the animation style is good and likens it to the Spider-Man animated look. 16. He also says the voice acting is good and likes that the Predators all look different. 17. The conversation shifts to The Amateur, which Alvin rates at 7.5 out of 10 and says is more intelligent than action-heavy spy films. 18. The tone stays casual and conversational, with frequent interruptions, side jokes, and offhand reactions to toys and trailers. 19. Fans of collector chat, movie takes, and toy-line speculation would fit this episode. 20. Viewers wanting a tight, topic-focused review or a spoiler-free structure may skip it.
