Is the Predator franchise finally back… or just evolving into something completely different?In this spoiler-free Part 1 episode of Should You Watch This with The Popcorn Priest, Chris and Dr. Dare break down Predator: Badlands (2025) and what it means for the future of the franchise.We dive into:

The 21st century has graced us with many questionable or misguided (or just fucking awful) PG13 sequels, reboots, or remakes to the pantheon of 1980's scifi/horror/ action hybrid classics:2004: Alien Vs Predator2009: Terminator Salvation2012: Total Recall2014: RoboCop2015: Terminator GenisysThere's also quite a few which retained the R ratings of their predecessors, with varying results:2003: Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines2007: Aliens Vs Predator- Requiem2010: Predators2012: Prometheus2017: Alien: Covenant2018: The Predator2019: Terminator: Dark Fate2022: Prey2024: Alien: RomulusThis episode we discuss PREDATOR: BADLANDS, Dan Trachtenberg's follow up to Prey and the animated anthology Predator: Killer of Killers, both of which the three of us enjoyed quite a bit.Is it ruined by the Disneyfication? Does Trachtenberg pull off this PG-13 Predator film, the first to feature a Yautja as the protagonist, or does it join the trash pile of some prior attempts?"Welcome to the most dangerous planet in the universe, where everything is trying to kill you", it's the Who Goes There Podcast Episode 448!  Join our Patreon to support the show!

It's time to take the podcast back to the Yautja's in the latest film in the Predator universe! This time though, the Predator's aren't on earth, nor are they hunting any humans, and there isn't a meaningful human to even speak of in this film!  " Predator: Badlands (2025) is a science fiction action film directed by Dan Trachtenberg that shifts the franchise focus by making a young, exiled Yautja (Predator) named Deck the main character. Set on a dangerous, hostile planet, Deck must prove his worth by surviving and hunting, eventually forming an unlikely alliance with a Weyland-Yutani android named Thia" It was always going to be a little tough to follow up the success of Prey which was the AMAZING Predator film that came before this one! BUT, while probably not as good as that movie, this still is not a film that you should sleep on! With Rotten Tomatoes scoring it in the high 80's, I promise that it's at least worth a first watch. While Prey was a fantastic movie, I will say that this film does a better job at opening up the universe to different worlds and to different species. It does well what the latest Alien show did well, which means that these movies don't always necessarily have to be Alien or Predator heavy, they can rely on some other cool monsters too!!

In this episode of "Giant Mess", we're heading to the Death Planet Genna for our full movie review and cinematic breakdown of Predator: Badlands. We dive deep into Dan Trachtenberg's latest entry in the franchise , exploring how the controversial PG-13 rating totally worked by substituting human gore for "synth-on-synth crime". We analyze Dek, the underdog "Gen-Z" Yautja protagonist played by Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi , and his unconventional alliance with a damaged Weyland-Yutani synthetic named Thia, played by Elle Fanning.We also break down the incredible organic tech and creature designs—from razor grass and bone bison to the unkillable Kalisk and fan-favorite infant sidekick, Bud. Plus, what do the Alien universe Easter eggs mean for the future of the franchise? We connect the dots between Badlands, Prey, Alien: Romulus, and the Alien: Earth TV series , and explore the insane ending theories surrounding Dek's "Mother" and a potential live-action return for Arnold Schwarzenegger's Dutch.See where Predator: Badlands ranks in our ultimate Alien and Predator timeline , and why the Yautja Renaissance has ushered in a new era.New York Giants Fan Rants & Analysis - https://bit.ly/NYGiantsYTPlaylist NY Mets Fan Rants & Analysis - https://bit.ly/MetsYTPlaylist Movie Reviews - https://bit.ly/GiantMessMovieReviews TV Show Reactions - https://bit.ly/GiantMessTV Funny Stories -  https://bit.ly/GiantMessFunnyStoriesABOUT NEAL LYNCH:Neal Lynch is the creator and host of Giant Mess, a podcast blending sports commentary, pop culture analysis, and storytelling.

To kick off this week's episode, Joe enthusiastically shares with Cody that he has finally taken the time to watch the much-discussed film directed by Guy Ritchie and featuring John Krasinski, titled The Fountain of Youth. This film, which has garnered a variety of opinions since its release, presents a unique blend of action and storytelling that Joe found particularly engaging. He reflects on the film's themes and cinematography, expressing his thoughts on how Ritchie's distinctive style combined with Krasinski's performance created a captivating viewing experience. In response, Cody mentions that he recently watched the first episode of the reboot of The Muppet Show, which is now available for streaming on Disney+. He shares his excitement about seeing the beloved characters return to the screen, noting how the reboot captures the charm and humor that fans have come to love over the years. Cody discusses some of the standout moments from the episode, highlighting the clever writing and the way the show pays homage to its classic roots while also bringing a fresh perspective to a new audience. As the conversation progresses, the guys shift their focus to the latest industry news, particularly the announcement that Dan Trachtenberg has signed a first-look deal with Paramount. Joe and Cody delve into what this could mean for Trachtenberg's future projects, considering his previous work on films like 10 Cloverfield Lane and his direction of the highly anticipated Predator prequel, Prey. They speculate on the types of projects Trachtenberg might pursue under this new agreement and how his unique vision could influence the direction of Paramount's upcoming slate of films. To wrap up the episode, Joe inquires whether Cody has seen the recently released images from the upcoming live-action adaptation of Street Fighter. This film has generated a considerable amount of buzz among fans of the franchise, and Joe expresses his curiosity about how the characters will be portrayed on screen. Cody shares his thoughts on the images, discussing the design choices and how they compare to previous adaptations of the iconic video game series.

The co-hosts close out their look at Predator with a review of Dan Trachtenberg's film from last year Predator Badlands. With Adam really liking last week's entry, will he enjoy seeing Trachtenberg integrate Predator with Alien, while also casting Elle Fanning in the role of the android? Next week, the Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast close out the year with their epic over 3.5 hour year end show. And then they jump right back into the retrospectives by looking at another leg of Marvel, The Punisher!

With an android by his side, it's Predator meets a 1980s buddy cop. But how does this departure from the franchise formula fair?

To the surprise of everyone despite Prey doing well critically and among audiences, we have two new installments of the Predator franchise in 2025. The first hit Hulu earlier this year. Under the help of Prey's Dan Trachtenberg, he chose to tell the next chapter as "chapters" in animation. In addition, it's an anthology that actually reconnects together all the stories both new and old. How do we feel about this radical new direction and what is our excitement about Predator: Badlands? Tune in next week to hear our thoughts, rankings on the series and our first retro of 2026! Disclaimer: We did review Prey upon it's release in 2022. It was part of our AVP retro that led into it as a new release. To listen to those reviews, please visit our archives!

There aren't any numbers here because that would imply a ranking. (Or at the very least, can draw the question about ranking.) Here are this movies that at least one of dug this year: SINNERS Directed by Ryan Coogler Written by Ryan Coogler From IMDB: Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back. When this was announced, I wasn't sure of what to make of it. Surely, a dip into the From Dusk Til Dawn pond wasn't a thing that crossed my mind, but we got a wee bit of that here. Currently on HBO Max WEAPONS Directed by Zach Cregger Written by Zach Cregger From IMDB: When all but one child from the same class mysteriously vanish on the same night at exactly the same time, a community is left questioning who or what is behind their disappearance. What a great follow-up to Gregger's Barbarian. Not quite as What-The-Fuck-y as Barbarian, but it's not in short supply of nuttiness. Currently on HBO Max PREDATOR: BADLANDS Directed by Dan Trachtenberg Written by Patrick Aison and Dan Trachtenberg From IMDB: A young Predator outcast from his clan finds an unlikely ally on his journey in search of the ultimate adversary. Dan Trachtenberg returns to the Predator franchise for the third time in his career and the second time in 2025. (See below,) This time, telling the story through a young Predator out to prove to his father and his clan he is worthy of his armor. Currently in theaters with Cinema AT Home rentals coming soon.   PREDATOR: KILLER of KILLERS Directed by Dan Trachtenberg Written by Micho Robert Rutare From IMDB: Three of the fiercest warriors in human history become prey to the ultimate killer of killers. With only his third feature film of his career, Trachtenberg tells his latest stories from Man versus Predator saga in animation form this time. Great storytelling all around, with a TON of Easter Eggs to be had. Currently on Hulu   FRANKENSTEIN Directed by Guillermo del Toro Written by Guillermo del Toro From IMDB: Dr. Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but egotistical scientist, brings a creature to life in a monstrous experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation. Del Toro makes his way back into the class monster stories with his own take on Mary Shelley's well-worn story of the same name. But he does it only in a way that GDT can. Currently on Netflix   SORRY, BABY Directed by Eva Victor Written by Eva Victor From IMDB: After a tragic event, a woman finds herself alone while everyone else continues with their lives as if nothing had happened.   *THUNDERBOLTS Directed by Jake Schreier Written by Eric Pearson, Joanna Calo, and Kurt Busiek From IMDB: After finding themselves ensnared in a death trap, an unconventional team of antiheroes must go on a dangerous mission that will force them to confront the darkest corners of their pasts. Currently on Disney +   COMPANION Directed by Drew Hancock Written by Drew Hancock From IMDB: A weekend getaway with friends at a remote cabin turns into chaos after it's revealed that one of the guests is not what they seem. Currently on Prime Video and HBO Max   Superman Directed by James Gunn Written by James Gunn From IMDB: Superman must reconcile his alien Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as reporter Clark Kent. As the embodiment of truth, justice and the human way he soon finds himself in a world that views these as old-fashioned. Wake Up, Dead Man Directed by Rian Johnson From IMDB: Detective Benoit Blanc teams up with an earnest young priest to investigate a perfectly impossible crime at a small-town church with a dark history.   BLACK BAG Directed by Steven Soderbergh Written by David Koepp From IMDB: When intelligence agent Kathryn Woodhouse is suspected of betraying the nation, her husband - also a legendary agent - faces the ultimate test of whether to be loyal to his marriage, or his country. Currently on Prime Video, and Available to Rent on All Rental Platforms, as well as 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray. CHAINSAW MAN THE MOVIE - REZE ARC Directed by Tatsuya YoshiharaWritten by Tatsuki Fujimoto and Hiroshi Seko From IMDB: Denji encounters a new romantic interest, Reze, who works at a coffee café.   2025 had a really nice mixed bag of movies we dug, and very little we didn't. We're looking forward to 2026 with some new stuff including new additions to Patreon for us to engage with all of you a little more! Here's to another year of great movies! ENJOY!

Hello, movie maniacs! McQuarrying has been postponed again because David and Mary went to the theatres to see a couple of good old fashioned action flicks. They watched Dan Trachtenberg’s further extrapolations of the world of Predator with Predator: Badlands and Edgar Wright’s re-imagining of the “classic” 80’s Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle The Running Man. In Part Two of their conversation, Dave and Mary defend the unfairly maligned The Running Man with Edgar Wright’s fun, streamlined direction and great performances by Glen Powell, Colman Domingo, Michael Cera, and Josh Brolin.

Steffan and Gavia share their enthusiastic review of Predator: Badlands, a standalone adventure story that casts a young Predator as the protagonist, teaming up with a perky android (Elle Fanning) to explore an alien planet. Among other topics, this episode covers the excellent casting of breakout star Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi, the film's imaginative sci-fi worldbuilding, and director Dan Trachtenberg's genre-savvy approach to action.

In this episode, we place Predator: Badlands within the Predator universe, examining what Dan Trachtenberg and Patrick Aison bring to the table and how Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi anchor the story. We compare the film's approach to the original and newer installments, discuss its tonal shifts, and debate whether it signals a new direction for the franchise. We also discuss the setup, the mood, and the film's bold visual language, plus what to watch for in the action and scares. If you're curious about the tone and teaser moments, this is the episode for you.

Send us a textWelcome back to DMRThe newest installment in the Predator franchise, Predator: Badlands, breaks new ground by placing a Predator, or Yautja, as its central protagonist. The story follows Dek, a young, outcast Yautja on a quest to prove his worth to his warrior clan by hunting the seemingly unkillable apex predator of the treacherous, alien world of Genna, often called "The Death Planet." His perilous journey leads to an unlikely alliance with an advanced Weyland-Yutani Corporation android named Thia, whose own mission on the hostile planet went sideways. Together, the mismatched pair must navigate the lethal environment, evade Weyland-Yutani forces, and confront a terrifying creature that challenges everything Dek has been taught about the honor of the hunt, making for a thrilling sci-fi survival adventure.The film is directed by Dan Trachtenberg, who also helmed the critically acclaimed Prey. The main cast features Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi as the Predator protagonist, Dek, and Elle Fanning in the dual role of the androids Thia and Tessa. As of the latest reports, Predator: Badlands has earned over $162 million at the global box office. Critics have embraced the fresh take, awarding it a Certified Fresh 86% on Rotten Tomatoes, while audiences have given it an even higher score of 96%.Reminder to grab your 30 day free Audible trial, link in the show; you'll be helping support DMR

The Cinematography Podcast Episode 334: Jeff Cutter Cinematographer Jeff Cutter first collaborated with director Dan Trachtenberg on 10 Cloverfield Lane. Their successful partnership continued on the Predator prequel, Prey, which became Hulu's most-watched streaming premiere. Jeff and Trachtenberg found they had a strong bond over their mutual interests, such as films like Die Hard with “muscular” camerawork. As gamers, the two often use cinematic moments and cutscenes from both videogames and movies as visual references during pre-production meetings. For Predator: Badlands, Tractenberg created a previsualization (previs) of the major sequences. He and Jeff then discussed the overall visual tone and the right approach for the camerawork. A key thought exercise they use is determining how each scene could be shot as a oner, even if the final plan doesn't involve a single-take sequence. Jeff explains, “The exercise just lets us, it really lets you figure out who is the scene about? What is the context and what is the subtext?” He finds that it's a creative way to focus and narrow down the visual choices to make each scene distinct. Jeff built upon the visual foundation he established for Prey. For that film, he and Trachtenberg wanted to subvert audience expectations of a Predator movie, focusing on a naturalistic approach that relied as much as possible on natural daylight, firelight, and moonlight as the primary sources. Defining the Predator: Badlands look by color palette: -The Yautja Planet (Predator Home World): Jeff chose a distinct brown and blue palette accented with warm tones. The look is designed to evoke a sense of harsh but beautiful reality, defined by sandy deserts and stark rock formations. -The Planet Gena: Shot partly on location in New Zealand, this environment called for a greener, more naturalistic look, with a bluer color for nighttime scenes. -The Weyland-Yutani Base: This section connects Predator: Badlands to the larger Alien universe, notably through the Weyland-Yutani corporation and its synthetic main character, Thia (played by Elle Fanning). Inspired by the industrial, ominous atmosphere and moody lighting of films like Aliens and Prometheus, Cutter aimed for an industrial look dominated by cyan, blue, and green tones.

Predator Badlands should've been the ninth-installment cash-grab we all politely ignore… but somehow Dan Trachtenberg cooked. In this week's Thumb War, Rachel and Jason dive into the surprisingly emotional new Predator movie that mixes Klingon-like family drama, Alien-universe corporate stupidity, exploding caterpillars, razor grass, and the most adorable digital murder-gremlin since Grogu. We get into: Predator sibling beef Elle Fanning playing two androids (one sweet, one corporate demon) Found-family wolf-pack metaphors The baby callous creature who is basically Hazel in CGI form Weyland-Yutani being idiots… again And the controversial PG-13 “Disney-fication” of Predator This one is shockingly heartfelt, visually bonkers, and absolutely primed for a sequel.
