Yautja Fest concludes with 'Predator Badlands,' the latest installment in the Predator franchise directed by Dan Trachtenberg. Set on the dangerous planet of Genna, the film follows a young Yautja named Dek, who must prove himself by confronting the apex predator, the Kalisk. Along the way, he forms a team with a half-synthetic named Thia and a small but fierce local creature named Bud. The episode explores the film's numerous action scenes, emotional depth, innovative storytelling, and how it uniquely integrates humor and empathy into a typically brutal franchise.
