  • Has the Predator been 'Disneyfied' in Predator:Badlands? | We Needed Roads Podcast
    Nov 17 2025

    We don't have time to bleed but we do have time to get into all the bloody spoilerific carnage (PG-13 carnage that is!) in Dan Tractenberg's 3rd Predator film, Predator Badlands.Join Neil, David & Jose as they hunt for answers in their full spoiler review of Badlands and ask questions like 'is this actually a Predator film?' & 'Have they turned the Predator into a Disney Princess?'

    We're only joking with those questions but some people honestly believe that and we also get into the films reception, as well as giving our own personal rankings of the Predator Franchise.

    And try and stop Jose rating films he hasn't seen!!!#predator #predatorbadlands #ellefanning #dek #kalisk #bud #dantrachtenberg #predators #thepredator #shaneblack #disney

  • Alien: Earth - Brilliant Sci-Fi Horror or Facehugging Disaster?| We Needed Roads Podcast
    Oct 6 2025

    Alien: Earth crash-lands on FX and Hulu — the first Alien TV series from Noah Hawley, set two years before Ridley Scott’s 1979 sci-fi horror classic.

    Starring Sydney Chandler, Alex Lawther, Essie Davis, Samuel Blenkin, Babou Ceesay, Adarsh Gourav, and Timothy Olyphant, this series brings the xenomorph terror home.

    But is Alien: Earth a bold new evolution for the franchise — or the worst idea since dressing a dog as a xenomorph?

    We break down the good, the bad, and the “because the plot said so” moments, diving deep into the show’s visuals, pacing, and questionable science.From deep space to Earth, the Alien legacy continues — but is this one worth surviving?
