PREY did well on a streaming service, and for the first time in a long time the PREDATOR franchise got a win (even if not a massive hit, definitely a win). So, where do we go from here?

The more recent Predator films have been all over the map, creatively and by critical and fan response. How do they measure up?

In this week's episode we talk about what makes the Predator franchise something special. What are the high and low points, and how did the franchise evolve through the years?

Also Patreon subscribers, be sure to check out the bonus question this week where we react to the first eps of Rings of Power!
