In this episode of R Rating, we’re diving into Alien Resurrection — the fourth film in the legendary Alien franchise, and easily the weirdest, wildest, and most divisive entry of them all.
We break down everything from Ripley’s controversial clone storyline, to the bio-engineered Xenomorphs, to the film’s tonal shift under director Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Whether you love this movie, hate it, or just enjoy watching the franchise get progressively weirder, this episode is packed with behind-the-scenes details, story analysis, and all the chaotic sci-fi energy Alien Resurrection is known for.

In this episode of R Rating, we’re descending into the dark, grim world of Alien³ (1992), the most divisive and misunderstood entry in the Alien franchise. Directed by a young David Fincher in his feature debut, Alien 3 took bold risks that split fans and critics alike — and we’re here to unpack every one of them.
We’ll explore how Alien³ followed up the action-packed Aliens with a return to bleak horror and isolation, what went wrong behind the scenes, and how Fincher’s vision was reshaped by studio interference. From Sigourney Weaver’s raw performance as Ripley to the haunting prison planet setting and nihilistic tone, we dig deep into why this film deserves a second look.
Is Alien³ an underrated masterpiece, or a frustrating misfire? Let’s find out.
Join R Rating for a deep dive into one of the most fascinatingly flawed films in sci-fi horror history — and why it’s more important to the franchise than most fans realize.

In this episode of R Rating, we dive into the blood-soaked madness of Evil Dead Rise (2023) — the latest entry in Sam Raimi’s iconic horror franchise. Directed by Lee Cronin, this brutal, claustrophobic take on the Evil Dead mythos trades the cabin for a Los Angeles high-rise but keeps all the gore, chaos, and demonic terror fans expect.
We talk about Alyssa Sutherland’s terrifying performance as a possessed mother, the film’s shocking practical effects, and how it stacks up against the classics — Evil Dead, Evil Dead II, Army of Darkness, and the 2013 remake. Expect plenty of laughs, deep horror analysis, and unfiltered opinions as we discuss one of the most talked-about horror films of the year.
Whether you’re a lifelong horror fan or just love a good scare, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

️ R Rating Podcast – Evil Dead & Evil Dead II Review & Discussion
In this episode of R Rating, we’re heading deep into the woods with Evil Dead (1981) and Evil Dead II (1987) — two cult horror classics that redefined the genre and launched the legendary career of Bruce Campbell and director Sam Raimi. What started as a low-budget cabin-in-the-woods nightmare became one of the most iconic horror franchises of all time, filled with gore, slapstick insanity, and unforgettable one-liners.
We’ll break down how Evil Dead turned simple scares into raw terror through practical effects and atmosphere — and how Evil Dead II flipped the formula with over-the-top comedy, insane camera work, and Raimi’s signature chaotic energy. Is Evil Dead II a remake, a sequel, or something in between? And how do these two movies hold up today compared to modern horror?
If you love practical effects, cult horror, and ‘80s filmmaking, this episode is a must-listen. Expect a full discussion on Ash Williams’ evolution, the Necronomicon, and the creative genius that made Sam Raimi a household name — plus our honest verdict on which Evil Dead reigns supreme.

In this episode of R Rating, we’re heading back to the hunt with Prey (2022) — the gripping prequel that redefines the Predator franchise.

We’ll break down the story, characters, cinematography, and the evolution of the Predator itself. How does Prey compare to the 1987 original classic? Does this minimalist, historical setting make the Predator more terrifying than ever? And where does Prey rank among the rest of the franchise?
If you’re a fan of sci-fi, action, or monster movies, this episode is a must-listen. Expect deep analysis of Prey’s direction, visual storytelling, and themes of survival and honor — plus our honest verdict on whether this entry is the franchise’s true return to form.

In this episode of R Rating, we’re diving deep into Predator 2 (1990), the explosive sci-fi action sequel that brought the deadly Predator out of the jungle and into the streets of Los Angeles.

Join us as we break down the story, characters, action sequences, creature design, and legacy of Predator 2. We’ll explore whether this 90s cult classic is an underrated gem in the Predator franchise or a sequel that missed the mark.

In this episode of R Rating, we go back to the film that started it all: Predator (1987). Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as Dutch, this sci-fi action classic pits an elite military team against one of cinema’s most iconic alien hunters deep in the jungles of Central America. With its blend of relentless action, suspense, and horror, Predator redefined the genre and gave us one of the most legendary movie monsters of all time.
We’ll break down the story, characters, action sequences, creature effects, and cultural impact of Predator. Is it still the best in the franchise? Does it hold up nearly four decades later? And why has this movie stood the test of time as both an action classic and a sci-fi horror masterpiece?
If you’re a fan of 80s action movies, sci-fi thrillers, monster films, or just love Arnold Schwarzenegger in his prime, this episode is a must-listen. Expect honest insights, fun discussion, and our final verdict on whether Predator (1987) still reigns supreme.

In this episode of R Rating, we’re tackling the Highlander franchise — a cult saga that spans movies, TV shows, and even spin-offs. Starting with Highlander (1986), starring Christopher Lambert, Clancy Brown, and the legendary Sean Connery, the franchise gave us the immortal Connor MacLeod and the unforgettable line: “There can be only one.” From there, the series grew into a mix of sequels, a long-running TV show, and a fandom that refuses to let it die.
We’ll break down the original film, Highlander II, Highlander III, Endgame, The Source, and the Highlander TV series, looking at what worked, what didn’t, and why the franchise still has such a dedicated following despite its ups and downs. Is Highlander a cult classic that deserves more recognition, or a series that lost its way after the first film?
If you’re a fan of fantasy, action-adventure, sword fights, immortals, and cult 80s/90s franchises, this is the deep dive for you. Expect honest takes, nostalgia, and plenty of love for the franchise that gave us immortals battling across centuries.

In this episode of R Rating, we’re diving into the Mad Max franchise — one of the most influential post-apocalyptic sagas in movie history. Starting with Mad Max (1979), directed by George Miller and starring a young Mel Gibson, the series exploded into a violent, stylish vision of a collapsing world where survival is everything. From the gritty revenge tale of the first film, to the explosive action of The Road Warrior (1981), the eccentric spectacle of Beyond Thunderdome (1985), and the modern masterpiece Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), we’ll cover it all.
We’ll break down the themes, action sequences, characters, world-building, and legacy of the franchise, looking at how George Miller shaped the entire post-apocalyptic action genre. Which film still stands tall as the best? How did Fury Road bring new life to the series after decades? And why does Mad Max remain one of cinema’s most unique and enduring franchises?
If you’re a fan of action movies, dystopian worlds, car chases, practical effects, and cinematic chaos, this episode is a must-listen. Expect high-octane discussion, sharp insights, and our unfiltered verdicts on every chapter of the saga.
