The first “Predator” movie in 1987 with Arnold Schwarzenegger was a hit, and gave us all our fav Arnold impersonation line, “GET TO THE CHOPPA!” Now we get a new Predator movie, 38 years after that original, called “Predator Badlands.” Is it good enough to “GET TO THE THEATER?!!!” That remains to be seen. The Predator franchise was a Fox product, but now Disney owns Fox and Disney will put its fingerprints on any new Predator entry, including this one. “Predator Badlands” stars Elle Fanning as Thia, who is a synthetic or robot, who is found by Dek, the main predator, played by Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi. Dek is seen as the weakest by his predator clan, especially his father, and is ferociously driven to take down a big trophy and return with it to show he is a hunter, a killer worthy of the clan. He ends up on a planet to take down that trophy and Thia ends up helping him on his journey. Is it worth a trip to the theater to find out what happens? Check out this episode to find out! “Predator Badlands” also stars Reuben De Jong, Cameron Brown, Ross Duffer, Matt Duffer, Michael Homik, Stefan Grube and Rohinal Nayaran.

055 - Predator: Badlands, Dir. Dan Trachtenberg Predator (1987) started the franchise off as a Science Fiction masterpiece- an almost unbeatable hunter doing battle against a special forces commando unit complete with Arnold Schwarzenegger and director John McTiernan 80's magic. Now, in 2025, we get the latest installment with a twist- the Predator is not only the protagonist but also very humanized and we are sympathetic towards him. Predator: Badlands tries to be different in an already very established franchise. There are some excellent points made on this episode: Is this an Alien movie with a Predator in it? Has Predator been Disney-fied, complete with a Stitch-esque sidekick? Does this film make sense in the established Predator (and Alien) universe? 0:00:00 - Introductions and Banter 0:06:50 - Box Office 0:09:10 - Movie Recommendation- Predator, Dir.

Sean is joined by Chris Ryan to avenge their Yautja brethren on planet Genna and cover Dan Trachtenberg's ‘Predator: Badlands,' starring Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi. Before diving in though, they briefly cover a handful of movie news headlines, including the reporting that Ryan Reynolds is remaking the 1970s crime film ‘Thunderbolt and Lightfoot' for Amazon MGM (2:35). Next, they unpack the new 'Predator' legacy sequel and make the case for why it wouldn't work without Fanning's performance, explain why Trachtenberg has a clear eye for titillating action set piece filmmaking, and discuss its big box office success and wonder what it represents at large (7:39).

To quote Donato's Predator: Badlands review: "It's official: Dan Trachtenberg is the Yautja whisperer." Between Monagle's love of the Alien universe and Donato's incessant quoting of Predator, the Matts dedicated this week's Uncertified episode to gushing about Trachtenberg's latest Yautja adventure. Does the heavy use of digital animation hold up? Can the inclusion of Weyland-Yutani stay in the background enough not to dominate a Predator film? All those questions and more are answered by the Matts, who once again find common ground on a new release.

Nights' resident screen critic joins Emile Donovan to review Dan Trachtenberg's 2022 Predator prequel Prey (Disney+), eight-part western-noir series The Lowdown (also Disney+) starring Ethan Hawke.
Dan Trachtenberg's next Predator adventure - Predator: Badlands - is now out in theaters! This is already his THIRD entry into the franchise - one more and he'll match the amount of standalone Predator movies there were before he arrived. I wouldn't call myself a fan of this franchise, but I love the idea of the Yautja as these intergalactic hunters in a clan where they're either the Predator or the Prey. It's just unfortunate that all these movies, including the few I like, are basically the same. I've liked both Prey and Predator: Killer of Killers but I wouldn't say I've been as crazy about them as others; I think it's fair to say I'm pretty burnt out on the formula of this franchise. I can't even say I'm IN LOVE with the original or anything like that. But now, we finally have a movie where one of the Yautja is actually the protagonist with Badlands. Does it deliver on the premise and live up to the very positive reviews?
