An indigenous-centric, woman-led, trial-by-fire to defeat a teenage alien Predator dropped onto earth to hunt down the apex prey? Uhhh, yes please! We welcome the exquisite chef and bruja Denise Vallejo, founder of Alchemy Organica this week to help us dismember the “Predator” prequel, “Prey.” We had a great conversation, touching on why the setting was perfect for this series, the use of animal actors in today’s world, and the Predator’s private hormonal angst. We agreed overall on our assessment, leading to solid double “streams” from Tim and Ryan, while squeaking out a “rent” from Denise.
