• Predator Badlands Review — Empathy, Exploding Caterpillars & Klingon-like Drama

  Predator Badlands should’ve been the ninth-installment cash-grab we all politely ignore… but somehow Dan Trachtenberg cooked. In this week’s Thumb War, Rachel and Jason dive into the surprisingly emotional new Predator movie that mixes Klingon-like family drama, Alien-universe corporate stupidity, exploding caterpillars, razor grass, and the most adorable digital murder-gremlin since Grogu. We get into: Predator sibling beef Elle Fanning playing two androids (one sweet, one corporate demon) Found-family wolf-pack metaphors The baby callous creature who is basically Hazel in CGI form Weyland-Yutani being idiots… again And the controversial PG-13 “Disney-fication” of Predator This one is shockingly heartfelt, visually bonkers, and absolutely primed for a sequel. Huge thumbs up. Go see it in a theater. Full Spoilers. Subscribe & join our Patreon for ad-free episodes + monthly hangouts! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

• Welcome to Derry Episode 3 Review: Did the Horror Budget Fall Into the Sewer? | Thumb War

  Spoilers for Welcome to Derry Episode 3! Thumb War returns to Derry, Maine, where the sewers are wet, the ghost children look like Spirit Halloween interns, and the cemetery scene feels one jump scare away from a discount haunted house behind a Home Depot. After two strong episodes, Episode 3 might be our first real stumble of the season. We break down: Did the show blow its horror budget in Episodes 1 & 2? Are these ghost kid vibes spooky or just… sticky? Why does the community meeting scene feel like mid-season Canadian public access TV? Are we in Derry or at Canada’s Wonderland Fright Night? Pennywise lore updates (even though he may be on PTO this week) We still love the show, but we also reserve the right to yell at it.

• SHAME (2011): Fassbender’s Monster vs. The Human Spirit | PATREON EXCLUSIVE

  Join our Patreon to listen to the entire episode, AD FREE: http://bit.ly/44Mo8xU This week on Thumb War we dive headfirst into “Shame”, the Steve McQueen film that proves even the hottest people alive can be absolutely miserable. We unpack Michael Fassbender’s Olympic-level libido, Carey Mulligan’s emotional demolition derby performance, the subway eye-sex, the hotel disaster, the threesome-from-hell, and the sibling dynamic that made us both yell “No thank you.” Jason is weirdly unimpressed. Rachel is weirdly invested. Fassbender is weirdly… relentless. If you like art-house chaos, trauma bonds, and movies that make you question your entire browser history, this episode is for you.

• Welcome To Derry Episodes 1 & 2: Demon Babies, Pickle Trauma & Pennywise Gaslighting an Entire Town

  We’re recapping Episodes 1 & 2 of Welcome To Derry, a show that proves Stephen King will never run out of nightmare fuel. In this episode, Jason and Rachel break down the pacifier trauma, the demon-baby joyride, the womb-from-hell sequence, the pickle-factory disaster, the theater bloodbath, and the government bros who genuinely think they can team-up with Pennywise like he’s the sixth Avenger. Thankfully, Hazel drops in to provide the emotional support HBO clearly refuses to. If you love horror, chaos, or watching Derry do Derry things, this one’s for you.
