Prey & Hey Arnold

Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review! In today’s episode, we're embarking on a journey through the wilderness of cinema to uncover the top 5 most formidable predators to ever stalk the silver screen. We’ll then venture into the depths of "Prey," the latest entry in the iconic Predator franchise, before lightening the mood with a nostalgic look back at the animated classic, "Hey Arnold!"

Top 5 Predators in Film:

1. The Predator from "Predator" (1987) - The original jungle stalker that blends high-tech hunting with primal instincts, setting the bar for extra-terrestrial hunters.
2. The Xenomorph from "Alien" (1979) - H.R. Giger’s nightmarish creation remains one of the most terrifying and efficient killers in sci-fi history.
3. The T-Rex from "Jurassic Park" (1993) - Spielberg resurrected cinema's most iconic dinosaur as a towering, relentless force of nature.
4. The Shark from "Jaws" (1975) - The great white that made an entire generation think twice about stepping into the ocean, proving that the most frightening predators come from the depths.
5. The Velociraptors from "Jurassic Park" (1993) - Smart, fast, and terrifyingly coordinated, these dinosaurs showcased the lethal cunning of nature’s hunters.

Main Feature - Prey (2022):
"Prey" takes us back to the roots of the Predator franchise, setting the stage centuries ago in the Comanche Nation. It’s a refreshing take that combines the survival and hunting elements intrinsic to the Predator lore with a historical backdrop, offering a unique perspective on the clash between alien technology and human ingenuity. The film has been praised for its strong character development, particularly the protagonist, a skilled female warrior, and for revitalizing the franchise with its innovative storytelling and breath-taking action sequences.

Kids TV - Hey Arnold!
Switching gears to something a bit more urban and a lot less predatory, "Hey Arnold!" offered '90s kids and their parents a heartfelt look at life through the eyes of Arnold, a city kid with a head shaped like a football, and his diverse group of friends. The show was celebrated for its nuanced portrayal of urban life, tackling issues like bullying, family dynamics, and the value of community with humour and grace.

Whether you’re in the mood for a thrilling hunt, a dive into a franchise’s new territory, or just a trip down memory lane with some animated friends, today’s episode has something for everyone. So, join us as we explore the predators that haunt our cinematic dreams, celebrate the latest chapter in a storied franchise, and reminisce about the simpler times of after-school cartoons.
