Kelsey and Gen discuss Predators, directed by David Osit, released December 8th 2025 on Paramount+, as a product of MTV Entertainment, and revisits the cultural phenomenon of To Catch a Predator, the early-2000s Dateline NBC series that set out to publicly expose men seeking sexual contact with minors online. Using archival footage, behind-the-scenes material, and interviews with people involved on all sides, including Chris Hansen himself, Predators poses questions about accountability, spectacle, and the human cost of turning crime into content.
