About this listen
The hunt is on.
The Film Jury assembles for a brutal new hunt in Predator: Badlands (2025) — the latest Predator film directed by Dan Trachtenberg.
Starring Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi as Dek (a young, exiled Yautja) and Elle Fanning as Thia (a damaged synthetic), the film throws survival horror into overdrive on a hostile alien world.
Hosts James Patrick, Kat Stratford, and Alabama Deer break down:
-
The shift in perspective — for the first time, a Predator is the protagonist.
-
The visual style and world-building of Trachtenberg's direction.
-
How Dek and Thia's unlikely alliance plays out, emotionally and thematically.
-
The action, creature design, and whether this entry feels fresh or derivative.
-
Whether Badlands advances Predator mythology or leans too hard into nostalgia.
The Verdict — 12/15 Gavels
-
James Patrick — 3/5 Gavels
-
Kat Stratford — 5/5 Gavels
-
Alabama — 4/5 Gavels
