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?
