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

Can't wait for that Dek and Bud spin-off movie.

Director Dan Trachtenberg (10 Cloverfield Lane, Prey) returns to the Universe of the the Predator with an interesting new take.....what if we embarked on a hunting adventure with the Predator itself as the main protagonist?  Actually the Predators are officially know as "Yautja" species and this particular Yautja is the runt of his clan named Dek played by Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatan.  After some unexpected family turmoil on his home planet, he is inadvertently whisked away to a very dangerous planet named Genna where he has decided to embark on his first hunt for a very rare creature.  Along the way, he aligns with a synthetic human named Thia (Elle Fanning) whom is more of an expert on this paritcular creature.  And much creature-on-creature violence ensues....though rated PG-13?Host: Geoff GershonEdited By Ella GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send us a textSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

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. Support the showFeel free to reach out to me via:@MoviesMerica on Twitter @moviesmerica on InstagramMovies Merica on Facebook

INTRO:I'm Hank, longtime podcaster, filmmaker, and YouTuber, and this is my review of Disney's Predator: Badlands.This is a spoiler-filled review of the movie so you've been warned.BUDGET:Predator Badlands cost $105 million dollars to make. It would appear the 20th Century Studios (a Walt Disney Company) is going to make money. That hasn't been a very common occurrence lately in film.SETTINGS:I didn't like the scaled down look of Yautja Prime. From the lack of scale to the hazy look, I wasn't a fan at all. When I say scale I don't simply mean the size of the area. I like to see expansive worlds that are populated. There were parts of the planet Genna that felt expansive but it mostly felt like we were in front of a green screen for two hours. If your budget wasn't $105 million dollars I'd let it slide.CHARACTERS:Dek portrayed by Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi. The concept is universal so it works for the most part. I simply couldn't wrap my mind around all the emotional dynamics of a human family coming from Predators.Thia & Tessa portrayed by Elle Fanning. The first several minutes of Thia's appearance were like nails on a chalkboard! She was so annoying that I regretted going to the film. Over time, thankfully, that leveled off. That dynamic works in many different types of movies, just not a Predator movie. She was the comic relief that had a strange motivation that I didn't quite understand because they didn't give us any insight on how or why she was so connected to Tessa. The Tessa version was a one-note villain that doesn't hesitate to lie to Mu/TH/UR.Father is portrayed by Reuben de Jong.Kwei is portrayed by Michael Homik.Bud is the baby Grogu style ripoff. She's even referred to as a baby Kalisk. She's funny and extremely important to the story but the comedy distracts from what a typical Predator movie should be. HITS:The concept of going on an adventure to prove your worth is tried and true. The action sequences work well and are exhilarating in most instances.If they were going for a couples or family movie they hit the mark. I was about 20 minutes in when I said to myself, “oh, this is a couples/family movie.”The marketing appears to have worked as the first weekend was pretty solid.I like that they attempted to go in a different direction with the franchise even though it doesn't work for me.MISSES:This is a predator movie in name only.This is a human storyline portrayed by brand name that sells tickets.The overall look and lack of scale detract from the movie.I didn't sign up for this style of Predator movie. Subverting expectations can work when you stay in the confines of the source material (which they didn't).The father son conflict dynamic is pushed beyond belief.The brother references being saved by Dek but they don't show it.The hunt seems irrelevant to the story which is simply a revenge story. Especially once Dek knows he won't kill the kalisk. So why are we going on this adventure again?They borrowed from too many franchises and genres to list.MOVIE SCORE: 5/10DIRECTION: CWRITING: DCINEMATOGRAPHY: CPOST PRODUCTION (INCLUDES: SCORE, SFX, COLOR GRADE) : DREWATCHABILITY: D1 Awful content = Fails on every single level.2-4 Poor = Terrible on almost every front.5 Mediocre = Some of the content is...

Welcome back to The Lobby Bar! This week, we're flipping the script on two iconic action franchises and our featured cocktail!First, we talk about the sci-fi behemoth that just hit theaters, Predator: Badlands! Director Dan Trachtenberg once again reinvents the franchise, this time by making a young Predator outcast named Dek the hero. We discuss the epic, bloody hunt on a hostile alien world, his unexpected alliance with a Weyland-Yutani synthetic, and whether this Badlands story is a fresh direction for the Yautja mythology.Then, the running starts! We gear up for the highly anticipated Edgar Wright-directed remake of Stephen King's dystopian thriller, The Running Man (2025), starring Glen Powell as Ben Richards. With its release just days away, we look at the hype, the star-studded cast (Josh Brolin, Michael Cera, Colman Domingo), and how this new version is a more faithful adaptation of the dark, savage novel.Of course, no show is complete without a drink! We're mixing up a Reverse Martini (sometimes called an Upside-Down Martini). This sophisticated, lower-proof cocktail flips the classic ratio, making Dry Vermouth the star and the Gin the modifier. It's the perfect, contemplative sipper for a week of cinematic chaos!All that, plus a look at the latest Box Office News!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Merch Shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.drinkthemovies.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠*Please Drink Responsibly*

A Kiwi is at the helm of the latest movie in an iconic franchise. The first Predator film was released in 1987, and four films —and two Alien vs Predator films— and 38 years later, Kiwi-born Dimitrius Koloamatangi holds a starring role in ‘Predator: Badlands'. Auditioning for the role of Dek was a bit of a funny process, Koloamatangi revealed to Mike Hosking. “My character is obviously an alien, so he doesn't really speak English,” “So I had to do a take in just like, a made-up language.” While the audition process had Koloamatangi integrating elements of Samoan and Tongan into his own language, for the actual film, he had to learn something entirely new. “When I jumped on, I had thought I could just freestyle and do my own thing, which I was like, ‘oh this is gonna be fantastic, no lines.'” “But then they were like, oh we're gonna set you up with the Zoom call with this guy named Britton who constructed the whole language,” Koloamatangi told Hosking. “I was like, bro, I have to learn a whole made up language? Like, I struggle Samoan somewhat fluently, now I have to learn this? But it was fun.” The Predator franchise is iconic, boasting a massive fanbase, including Koloamatangi's father. “My dad's a massive fan of the first one – we used to watch that one a lot growing up,” he said. “It's pretty surreal to be honest,” “The franchise has such a massive fan base, like you said, spans like 20 years, you know, and, yeah, it's kind of crazy to think that I'm now a part of it.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

CAN DAN TRACHTENBERG GO 3 FOR 3??? Predator: Badlands Movie Review – In this new chapter of the Predator saga, director Dan Trachtenberg (Prey, Predator: Killer of Killers, 10 Cloverfield Lane, The Boys) flips the script and takes us deep into the hunter's world - in BEAUTIFUL IMAX!! The film stars Elle Fanning (known for The Great, Maleficent, Super 8) as Thia — a damaged synthetic from the Weyland-Yutani Corporation. Joining her is Dimitrius Schuster‑Koloamatangi (making his major big-screen debut) as Dek, a young Predator outcast who must prove himself against impossible odds. The story unfolds on a remote alien planet where hunter becomes hunted, alliances form in the wild, and the ultimate apex Predator awaits. With this entry rated PG-13 for “strong sci-fi violence” (a first for the franchise), the stakes are high as the Predator universe continues to expand in new & unexpected ways.

Dek je mlajši in manjši od obeh potomcev poglavarja Yautij oziroma plemena Predatorjev, ki ga prezirajo zaradi domnevne šibkosti, za predstavnike te vrste pogubne lastnosti. Da bi se pred očetom dokazal, se odpravi na nevaren planet Genna, poln sovražnih sil, z željo pokončati neuničljivo pošast Kaliska. Tu sklene negotovo zavezništvo z androidko Thio, ki jo je na Genno poslala na raziskovalno odpravo znamenita korporacija Weyland-Yutani. Predator: Mrtva zemlja je sedmi celovečerec iz franšize Predator, oziroma deveti, če upoštevamo še dva ločena filma, v katerih se je zgodba povezala in oplajala s svetom franšize Osmi potnik. Na kinematografska platna je plenilska tujerodna pošast prvič prispela leta 1987, v obdobju, ko je Amerika še predelovala travmatično izkušnjo vietnamske vojne, in ga lahko razumemo kot prispodobo boja z nevidnim, močnejšim in spretnejšim nasprotnikom v džungli. V filmu se ekipa vrhunsko izurjenih plačancev odpravi v srednjeameriško državo reševat ugrabljene talce in ugotovi, da ima opravka z veliko nevarnejšim nasprotnikom kot le z lokalnimi gverilci. Z nasprotnikom, ki jih za lastno zabavo lovi in ubija enega za drugim. Obrazec se je ponovil že tri leta pozneje, kjer si je Predator za svoje lovišče izbral betonsko džunglo sodobnega in hkrati distopičnega Los Angelesa, v katerem so se za prevlado spopadale različne ulične tolpe. Film, ki je še vedno temeljil pretežno na akcijskih obrazcih z elementi znanstvene fantastike, ob premieri ni naletel na odobravanje, in naslednja generacija ustvarjalcev je začela raziskovati možnosti selitve na druge planete s pojasnjevanjem izvora in ustroja Predatorjev. Žanrsko gledano je začela prevladovati fantastika, z izjemo filma Plen (2022), ki je postavljen v 18. stoletje med prvobitne prebivalce Severne Amerike in ga je – tako kot letošnji animirani prispevek v franšizo Predator: Killer of Killers (2025) ter Mrtvo zemljo – režiral Dan Trachtenberg. Mrtva zemlja v jedru izhaja iz shakespearjanske družinske drame, vendar med vsemi dosedanjimi celovečerci najmočneje temelji na posebnih učinkih. Jasen je užitek ustvarjalcev ob ustvarjanju povsem novega sveta, v katerem živega človeka pravzaprav ni več – gre za svet različnih pošasti, Predatorjev in androidov, med katerimi se z dvojno vlogo izkaže igralka Elle Fanning. Posnemanje in sočutje Akcijsko gonilo filmov franšize Predator je kajpak razmerje med plenilcem in žrtvijo, oziroma bitka za preživetje in prevlada močnejšega nad šibkejšimi. Mrtva zemlja je dogajalno postavljena večinoma na planet Genna, ki vsaj po imenu sumljivo spominja na našo Geo, in celovečerec se tudi začne s prikazom te prehranske verige: žri, ali pa boš požrt. A hkrati se v nizu filmov izkaže tudi nepravilnost splošnega razumevanja Darwinovega izreka – v resnici ne preživi močnejši, ampak tisti, ki je bolj prilagodljiv. Kljub temu da bi po tej logiki Predator s svojo sposobnostjo mimikrije spadal v sam vrh piramide, naleti v filmih – od Arnolda Schwarzeneggerja konec 80. let dalje – vsakič znova na bitja, ki se znajo še učinkoviteje prilagoditi. Človek kot vrhovni plenilec torej? Spoznanje, ki v resnici ni prav zelo zakrito. A več kot pomenljiv je še en dejavnik: sposobnost sočutja in sklepanja zavezništev. Čeprav potekajo bitke in tekme tudi med različnimi podvrstami Predatorjev, se ta skozi franšizo izkaže za inteligentno bitje, ki presega samo morilsko strast – sposobno je učenja, razvoja in sočutja. In kot se pokaže na koncu Mrtve zemlje, tudi upora tradiciji očetov in ustvarjanja drugačnih skupnosti onkraj diskriminacije na podlagi vrste (spomniti velja, da so prvim Predatorjem že v tistem času očitali določeno mero rasizma). Sočutje skratka kot preoblikovalna, revolucionarna sila oziroma prava notranja moč. In tu nam pride na misel Elon Musk s svojo izjavo, da je sočutje temeljna šibkost zahodne civilizacije ... Ni si ga težko predstavljati kot predsednika brezdušne medgalaktične korporacije Weyland-Yutani, ki si v sledenju svojemu sloganu »Gradimo boljše svetove« niti malo ne pomišlja za svoje cilje uporabljati čisto zlo ... (Vprašanje dobrega in zla znotraj franšize Predator bi bilo res vredno posebne obravnave.) Umetna inteligenca in drugi svetovi »Dve možnosti obstajata,« je rekel Carl Sagan. »V vesolju smo sami ali pa nismo. Obe sta enako strašljivi.« Tako franšiza Osmi potnik kot Predator se ukvarjata z vprašanjem, kaj pa če … in sta vedno bolj očitno del istega univerzuma, v katerem je s tehnološkim razvojem in napredovanjem umetne inteligence močno prisotna korporacija Weyland-Yutani. S to je nenazadnje povezan, če smo pozorni na nekaj skritih namigov, tudi svet Iztrebljevalca. V retrospektivnem pogledu pade v oči zanimiva podrobnost, da sta se prva dva Predatorja pojavila na Zemlji ob vročinskih valovih. Skrito opozorilo pred pošastnostjo globalnega segrevanja je v desetletjih zamenjal strah pred umetno inteligenco, oziroma eksistencialna groza kozmosa, v katerem človeka sploh ni več, oziroma obstaja samo še kot algoritem v robotski kopiji samoučečih se androidov, pošasti pa si ustvarjajo svoje človečnjaške skupnosti ... Pesimistična ali optimistična napoved? V franšizi Predator se je ta vidik že večkrat obrnil, kar jo najbrž tudi ohranja živo. Piše: Gorazd Trušnovec Bere: Igor Velše

Predator: Badlands The Predator franchise has been long and incredibly varied in it's scope and quality. From the very first film which was, lets be fair, a macho man monster movie... to the ongoing saga that has been explored in Comics, Games, Movies and animation. The character of the Predator has crossed over with a massive range of other IP's from Batman and Judge Dredd to Archie (?!) and even the ENTIRE MARVEL UNIVERSE... But thus far we've never seen them as anything other than an antagonist. Well all that is about to change in Predator Badlands! Young Yautja hunter Dek is ready to take on the most deadly planet in the galaxy to prove himself to his family. He is going to need to learn a lot about working together with others to survive. Dion, Jill and Quinny are the Predators in this review, and they are hunting down a great film!

CAN DAN TRACHTENBERG GO 3 FOR 3??? Predator: Badlands Movie Review – In this new chapter of the Predator saga, director Dan Trachtenberg (Prey, Predator: Killer of Killers, 10 Cloverfield Lane, The Boys) flips the script and takes us deep into the hunter's world - in BEAUTIFUL IMAX!! The film stars Elle Fanning (known for The Great, Maleficent, Super 8) as Thia — a damaged synthetic from the Weyland-Yutani Corporation. Joining her is Dimitrius Schuster‑Koloamatangi (making his major big-screen debut) as Dek, a young Predator outcast who must prove himself against impossible odds. The story unfolds on a remote alien planet where hunter becomes hunted, alliances form in the wild, and the ultimate apex Predator awaits. With this entry rated PG-13 for “strong sci-fi violence” (a first for the franchise), the stakes are high as the Predator universe continues to expand in new & unexpected ways. Andrew and John break down everything from the action sequences, lore shifts, visual effects, and how this one stacks up vs. previous Predator films. Whether you're a long-time fan or a newcomer to the hunt, this review dives deep. CAN THEY KEEP UP THE PREDATOR HOT STREAK?!?

Dan Trachtenberg has emerged as the guy flying the ship the last few years for the Predator franchise, after knocking it out of the park earlier this year with Killer of Killers, can Trachtenberg chart an even better course with the first theatrical adventure in 7 years? | Predator Badlands | A young, outcast Predator named Dek who, to prove his worth to his clan, travels to a dangerous planet to hunt a legendary creature. Along the way, he teams up with an unlikely ally, a synthetic humanoid named Thia (played by Elle Fanning), and together they navigate a treacherous world and confront their own personal family dramas.

Er der stadig liv i de gamle monstre, når Predator og Frankenstein vender tilbage i nye fortolkninger?I denne episode af Betacritic har Jacob Ege Hinchely besøg af musikjournalist Sara Frost, hvor de sammen ser nærmere på to af efterårets mest omtalte film: Predator: Badlands og Frankenstein.Predator: Badlands, instrueret af Dan Trachtenberg (10 Cloverfield Lane, Prey), bringer franchisen tilbage med Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi (The Panthers, Next Goal Wins) som predator-rumvæsnet Dek og Elle Fanning (The Great, Maleficent) som den syntetiske androide Thia. Begge roser filmens passion og lydlandskab, men er enige om, at der bliver talt alt for meget. Actionsekvenserne fungerer, men tempoet mister energi, fordi filmen aldrig helt slipper for sin egen dialogtunge struktur.Derefter vender de blikket mod Frankenstein, hvor Jacob Elordi (Saltburn, Priscilla) spiller monstret, og Oscar Isaac (Dune, Ex Machina) er Dr. Frankenstein. Sara er meget begejstret for Elordis præstation, mens Jacob er mere kritisk over for filmens telenovela-lignende kulisser og Alexandre Desplats (The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Shape of Water) musik, som han kalder "tryllemusik". De taler også om instruktør Guillermo del Toros (Pan's Labyrinth, The Shape of Water) visuelle indflydelse, Dan Laustsens fotografering og Mia Goths (Pearl, X) position som moderne gyserdronning.Til sidst deler de deres bud på anbefalinger fra film- og serieverdenen.Tusind tak fordi du lytter med.

Welcome back to The Lobby Bar!

Emma Stone stars as a high-powered CEO kidnapped by two conspiracy theorists convinced she's an alien. We unpack the dark comedy, the mind-bending plot twists, and ask the unsettling question: are the conspiracy theorists right?Then, the iconic hunter franchise is reinvented with Predator: Badlands! This installment shakes up the canon by centering on a Predator, Dek, who is exiled from his clan and forced to hunt a massive adversary on a treacherous alien world. We discuss the future setting, the heroic Yautja protagonist, and whether this new direction lives up to the Predator name.All that, plus the latest Box Office News, a breakdown of the new wide releases, and how to make a perfect pitcher of our refreshing (and deceptively strong) Pink Punch!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Merch Shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.drinkthemovies.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠*Please Drink Responsibly*

EPIZODY V PLNÉ VERZI MŮŽETE POSLOUCHAT NA HEROHERO.CO/STUDION „Jsme ve značném průšvihu, brzy se bude rozhodovat o tom, v jakém světě budeme žít. V sázce je bezpečnost evropského kontinentu,“ říká ve Studiu N náčelník Generálního štábu Armády ČR Karel Řehka. Celou situaci podle něj komplikuje fakt, že se političtí lídři napříč spektrem bojí mluvit o nepříjemných věcech. „Lidé vystrašení nebudou, oni to pochopí a zvyknou si. My jsme racionální národ,“ tvrdí v rozhovoru s Filipem Titlbachem. Na rozdíl od jiných států východního křídla NATO podle Řehky velké části české populace nedochází vážnost situace. „Dekády se s ničím takovým nepočítalo. Nikdo se na nic nechystal, všechno bylo upozaděné, nedávaly se zdroje do obrany a bezpečnosti. Je potřeba lidi edukovat tak, aby podstatná část společnosti – a nikdy to nebudou všichni – pochopila, co se děje, a logicky tlačila na volené politické lídry a ptala se jich, co s tím dělají,“ upozorňuje náčelník generálního štábu. V rozhovoru padne i téma sporů a komplikovaného vztahu s ministryní obrany Janou Černochovou. „Nic jí nezatajuji. To, co jako ministryně potřebuje vědět, jí říkám,“ reaguje na kritiku své nadřízené. Ve Studiu N připouští, že on sám vadí řadě lidí. „Jsme tu ale i pro lidi, kteří nás nenávidí. Přísaháme, že za ně nasadíme svůj život,“ říká. „Myslím si, že dáváme velký důraz na to, co slyšíme od křiklounů na sítích. Když pak jdete reálně mezi lidi – mimo svou bublinu – a normálně se s nimi bavíte, zjistíte, že ten stav není tak hrozný. Nejvíc jsou slyšet magoři, co blijí nesmysly na sociálních sítích. Šokující sdělení jsou vidět a rezonují, ale pak je tady spousta normálních lidí, která nemá potřebu se k tomu vyjadřovat,“ zdůrazňuje. Jak reaguje na kritiku, že armáda monitorovala politickou opozici a občany kritizující její činnost? Proč si myslí, že je dronové iniciativě Nemesis věnována nestandardně velká pozornost? Jak chce přesvědčit lidi, aby se přidali do prořídlých armádních řad? A ovlivní Putinovo Rusko výsledek českých sněmovních voleb? Podívejte se na celou epizodu.

SO MANY WEYLAND YUTANI ALIEN REFERENCES!! Visit https://huel.com/rejects to get 15% off your order Predator Badlands Trailer Reaction, Breakdown, & Easter Eggs! We dive into the explosive new Predator: Badlands teaser trailer with Greg Alba & John Humphrey, unpacking Elle Fanning as Thia (android created by Weyland‑Yutani), Dimitrius Schuster‑Koloamatangi's outcast Predator Dek, director Dan Trachtenberg (Prey), plus nods to the iconic Predator trophy room (with T‑rex and Independence Day skulls), Weyland‑Yutani symbols hinting at an Alien vs Predator crossover, and those man‑eating trees and flying beasts; we highlight the shift in tone as the Predator becomes hero, the first shared‑universe clues since 2007 AVP, and how this sequel aligns with other entries like Prey (2022) and Predator: Killer of Killers (2025). We also explore the Easter egg reel from AVPGalaxy—android vines rolling Thia's eyes back, synthetic reveals, Predator language by the Avatar linguist, and why fans are calling the Dek design a bold evolution for Yautja. Packed with commentary on cast & crew: Elle Fanning (Maleficent, The Great), Dimitrius Schuster‑Koloamatangi (Red, White & Brass), and vision from Dan Trachtenberg (10 Cloverfield Lane, Prey), plus the deep lore setup for Alien vs Predator and upcoming Predator: Badlands (Nov 7, 2025). Based on the strengths of Prey & Predator: Killer of Killers alone, this is rapidly becoming one of our MOST anticipated films of the fall. COULD THIS ALL BE LEADING TO A NEW ALIEN VS. PREDATOR???

CELÝ ROZHOVOR V DÉLCE 56 MIN. JEN NA HTTPS://HEROHERO.CO/CESTMIR A HTTPS://FORENDORS.CZ/CESTMIR⁠Osm let sledoval režisér a dokumentarista Filip Remunda život zapřisáhlého ruského patriota Vitalije, vystudovaného fyzika a rekordman v extrémním otužování, který v Novosibirsku pracuje jako zedník a žije za hranicí chudoby. Zaujal ho nejen jeho názorový progres na putinovské Rusko a upřímnost, s jakou dokáže být ke své zemi a jejímu prezidentovi kritický, ale i frustrace, ze které to všechno pramení. Jakkoli daleko extrémnější, ne nepodobná té, kterou pociťují mnozí Češi. A to je podle Remundy tím, co by nás mělo zajímat a na co zaměřit. Právě takoví lidé totiž snáze sedají na lep nejrůznějším populistům, kteří ve skutečnosti vedou politiku proti jejich vlastním zájmům a v konečném důsledku proti zájmům celé demokratické společnosti. Dekády trvající ruské propagandě přitom často podléhají i kriticky smýšlející jedinci. Ostatně celá třetí říše vznikla s pomocí inteligentních lidí, kteří dokážou vymýšlet ďábelské mechanismy, jak eliminovat celé skupiny obyvatel, takže vzdělání mnohdy nepomáhá. Na to, aby se nenechal ovlivnit demagogickými zkratkami, si ostatně musí dávat velký pozor i Remunda. Dokud zuří válka a na Ukrajince padají bomby, diskuze o vnitroukrajinských otázkách podle něj není na místě. Až vyhrají, pak bude možné diskutovat o tom, jaké pomníky mají stát v jejich městech. Ze všeho nejlepší by ale bylo, kdyby o tom rozhodovali sami a nestavěli jim je tam exportovaní Rusové. Opravdu věří ve vítězství Ukrajiny? Co je základním kamenem ruské propagandy? Jak se natáčí v zemi, ve které jedou na plné obrátky represivní složky s pěti miliony dobře placených členů? Jak je v politice důležitý brand, který z nich to pravděpodobně nepřežije, nebo na co všechno se dá udělat reklama? I o tom jsme s Filipem Remundou mluvili. A pokud vás zajímá, co je s Vitalijem dnes, zajděte si na provokativní a podnětný snímek Štěstí a dobro všem, který na Mezinárodním festivalu dokumentárních filmů Ji.hlava získal hned dvě hlavní ceny. V kinech bude k vidění od 27. února.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 3, 2023 is: dexterous • DEK-strus • adjective Dexterous is a formal adjective used to describe someone or something that has or shows great skill or cleverness. // She was praised for her dexterous handling of the crisis. // The movie is a dexterous retelling of a classic love story. // As a shortstop, Alex is a dexterous fielder who is adept at catching any ground ball or line drive hit at him. See the entry > Examples: "There can now be no doubt of Phillis Wheatley's importance not only to African America but also to the country and culture as a whole. She was a learned, dexterous wielder of the written word in a taut political and racial moment." — Tiya Miles, The Atlantic, 22 Apr. 2023 Did you know? If you believe dexterous to be on the right side of etymological history, well, right on. Dexterous comes from the Latin word dexter, meaning "on the right side." Since most people are right-handed, and therefore do things more easily with their right hand, dexter developed the additional sense of "skillful." English speakers crafted dexterous from dexter and have been using the resulting adjective for anyone who is skillful—in either a physical or mental capacity—since at least the early 1600s. (The noun dexterity arrived a bit earlier, influenced both by Latin and the Middle French word dexterité). The adjective ambidextrous, which combines dexter with the Latin prefix ambi-, meaning "both," describes one who is able to use both hands in an equally skillful way. With so many handy words at its disposal, the English language itself is pretty dexterous, amirite?
