In this episode of So, You Like Horror?, Guest hosts Maryland Phil and Chuckie O return to discuss Predator: Badlands and where it fits within the larger Predator franchise. They break down the film’s strengths and weaknesses, covering what works, what falls flat, and what stands out for better or worse. The conversation looks closely at how the PG-13 rating shapes the film’s tone, action, and tension, especially in comparison to earlier entries in the series.

They also examine how Predator: Badlands expands or reinterprets existing Predator lore and whether those choices strengthen the franchise or dilute its identity. They wrap up by ranking the film against other Predator installments and debating whether this entry justifies a direct sequel or should remain a standalone chapter.
