Ep 62 - Predator Badlands (2025)

The Predator franchise has never looked like this before. In this episode of R Rating, we dive into Predator: Badlands, the bold new chapter from director Dan Trachtenberg that completely flips the formula by making a Predator the hero of the story. Set on a dangerous alien world, Predator: Badlands follows Dek, a young Yautja outcast on a deadly quest to prove himself. Along the way, he forms an unlikely alliance that turns this sci-fi action adventure into one of the most unique entries in the franchise's history. Critics praised the film's fresh perspective, ambitious world-building, and emotional core, while some longtime fans were divided by its lighter tone and PG-13 approach. In this review, we break down the action, characters, visual effects, franchise lore, and whether Badlands successfully continues the momentum started by Prey and Predator: Killer of Killers. Audience reactions have been particularly strong, with many fans praising the film's willingness to take risks and expand the mythology of the Yautja.
