Sean is joined by Chris Ryan to avenge their Yautja brethren on planet Genna and cover Dan Trachtenberg\u2019s Predator: Badlands, starring Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi. Before diving in though, they briefly cover a handful of movie news headlines, including the reporting that Ryan Reynolds is remaking the 1970s crime film Thunderbolt and Lightfoot for Amazon MGM (2:35). Next, they unpack the new Predator legacy sequel and make the case for why it wouldn\u2019t work without Fanning\u2019s performance, explain why Trachtenberg has a clear eye for titillating action set piece filmmaking, and discuss its big box office success and wonder what it represents at large (7:39). Then, they rank every film in the Predator\u00a0franchise (43:38).<\/p>\n
