Predator: Badlands - Jennifer Lopez Was Right And So Is Dan Trachtenberg

Send us a text

We score Predator Badlands, argue whether a simple hero’s journey helps or hurts, and celebrate a creature-forward approach that finally trusts the predator. We toast new “listeners,” confess our vices, and then drop into lore, tropes, and ridiculous self-inserts that break the universe in fun ways.

• fan acceptance over fan service
• acting under prosthetics landing real emotion
• CGI and practical effects blending cleanly
• soundtrack as functional atmosphere
• shonen-style growth arc and clan worldbuilding
• plot simplicity vs desire for narrative ambition
• predator culture, toxic norms, matriarchal hints
• rewatchability drivers and franchise future
• wild crossovers and inserting ourselves into the hunt
