    The Psycho Drive-In Podcast 15: Predator:Badlands & The Running Man (2025) Reviews

    John E. Meredith, Paul Brian McCoy
    The Psycho Drive-In Podcast
    November 18, 2025 56

    Hosts John and Paul break down two recent releases — Predator: Badlands and The Running Man — weighing the risks and rewards of Badlands’ predator-as-protagonist approach, the film’s violence and effects, and Running Man’s glossy anti-corporate message that often feels sanitized. 

    The episode also touches on TV and indie film picks (Slow Horses, It: Welcome to Derry, The Lowdown, Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein), recommends favorites like Prey and The Toxic Avenger, and teases future episodes focused on cult and gloriously trashy cinema.
