Ep 217: Predator - Badlands

We think the work Dan Trachtenberg has been doing with the Predator franchise has been top-notch. In 2025 he was two for two, with Killer of Killers and this film, Predator: Badlands! A film unlike we've seen in the franchise, there is a lot more writing, character growth, and lore here than most see. We unpack everything... and there is a lot! We also break down our top 5 "Bad Dads" in films and tv! So grab your shoulder blaster, watch out for those thorns, and please don't drop your weapons... it's time for Predator: Badlands on the Movie Defenders Podcast!
