Absolutely the Best Podcast: A Work in Progress
This show is focused on discussing and ranking movie series, to determine which ones are the best! Currently, series 3 covers the Alien and Predator connected universe. Previously, the MCU movies were covered in Series 1. We also have franchise-adjacent coverage in series 2 & 4! We even throw in some video game ranking from time to time. Come for the rankings, stay for the banter!

Hey, remember the first predator movie? They sure remind you about it a bunch of times in this one. Bad move, movie. This is a turd. We should have just watched the original again.

Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (AVPCU Ranking)
We call in The Wolf to clean this mess up! Not all of us agree that this critically panned movie actually rules, but we all said it is at least better than the first AVP movie.

This was a contentious one. The likely conclusion is that the DCU is for comic book fans while the MCU is for people who like things a little more grounded. Please enjoy our discourse.
