Part 5/10:
A recurring motif in the evening was frustration over Hollywood's handling of classic franchises. The hosts lamented the decline of Alien and Predator under Disney’s reign, claiming they have "destroyed" both properties. The chances of Predator films improving in recent entries like Badlands were questioned, with a clear preference for the grounded and serious tone of the original films compared to the goofiness and cringe-worthy design choices of recent efforts.
They speculated on potential crossover stories, such as Colonial Marines facing off against Predators, emphasizing how promising such a premise would be if handled right. This highlighted their desire for more creative, respectful storytelling rather than franchise cash-grabs.
