THE VHS VAULT – Predator: Badlands (Special Collaboration with “1 Week Later”)
Welcome to a very special episode of The VHS Vault, where we team up with our friends over at the podcast 1 Week Later to take on the surprise sci-fi hit of 2025: Predator: Badlands.
This movie promised “Predator in Australia,” but instead delivered “Predator, but make it spiritual trauma, synth buddies, and an alien that refuses to stay dead.” And we absolutely loved it.
Together, we break down the plot, the action, the lore, the way-too-good creature effects, and the bold decision to make a young Predator the main character. We also celebrate director Dan Trachtenberg for continuing his streak of turning Predator movies into certified bangers.
If you thought you were getting a normal nap-friendly Predator film?
Nope. This one suplexes you awake.
