Predator: Killer of Killers Interview with Director Dan Trachtenberg and Review Discussion

Author: The Movie Podcast June 6, 2025 Duration: 28:24
On this episode of The Movie Podcast, Daniel is joined by director Dan Trachtenberg to dive into the latest chapter in the Predator franchise— PREDATOR: KILLER OF KILLERS. The anthology story follows three of the fiercest warriors in human history: a Viking raider guiding her young son on a bloody quest for revenge; a ninja in feudal Japan who turns against his Samurai brother in a brutal battle for succession; and a WWII pilot who takes to the sky to investigate an otherworldly threat to the Allied cause. But while all these warriors are killers in their own right, they are merely prey for their new opponent. The film is directed by Dan Trachtenberg with Josh Wassung, from animation company The Third Floor, serving as co-director. Preceding their discussion, Anthony joins Daniel for a conversation about the film. Predator: Killer of Killers premieres exclusively on Disney+ on June 6, 2025.
