    Multiverse Comics Podcast: Predator: Badlands, Shared Universes, and What’s Next in Pop Culture

    Stephen’s dog talked him into watching “Predator: Badlands” and somehow it’s now our recommendation for the week! Its throwback late-’80s/early-’90s sci‑fi action feel, simple plot, balanced humor and drama, and a low-key Alien crossover element involving a Weyland-Yutani synthetic; we also talk Dan Trachtenberg’s “Prey” and an animated Predator anthology. The conversation expands into what they want to see next year and beyond around shared-universe storytelling, including Marvel Alien comics, “Aliens vs. Avengers,” the potential return of more Alien titles, and how studios chase interconnected-franchise success; they revisit Universal’s stalled “Dark Universe” after “The Mummy,” debate why it failed, and talk about future monster crossovers, plus tangents on Scrubs, classic movies, retro games, and sci‑fi properties they’d like to see revived or connected. 00:00 Insomnia and Thunder Walk 00:51 Early Morning TV Pick 01:00 Predator Badlands Hype 03:26 Why It Feels Retro 04:58 War Machine Comparison 06:11 Scrubs Revival Discovery 07:52 Alien Marvel Comics Talk 09:09 Alien Lore in Predator 09:58 Moonraker and Dad Movies 10:42 Jaws Memories 15:45 GI Joe and Moonraker Toy 17:26 Action Man and UK Toys 20:37 Shared Universes and Dark Universe 24:17 Monster Squad and MonsterVerse 26:42 Endgame Money Expectations 27:37 Reeses Pieces Origin 28:06 Atari ET Disaster 28:56 Worst Games Rant 30:01 Wii Spider Man Love 30:45 Wii Party Memories 32:01 GoldenEye Marriage Story 33:22 Co Op It Takes Two 35:10 Retro Console Setup 36:02 Favorite Classics Talk 39:19 Back To Shared Universes 42:07 Smokey Bandit Tangent 44:34 Movies You Cant Make 45:42 New Crossover Ideas 48:31 British Spy Connections 51:10 Anime Sci Fi Crossovers 52:36 Nineties Sci Fi Universe 54:07 Bye JordanMentioned in this episode: Intro Outro
