Summary
This week, Katey had to be out to see movies, but the boys return to the virtual war room to talk about Predator: Badlands (in theaters now!) and Frankenstein (on Netflix now!). David also asks why we only seem to remake movies that were okay to begin with. Slight spoilers for Badlands and Frankenstein sprinkled throughout, but nothing ruining as we’re just praising Badlands and talking about a Frankenstein story that is pretty well known at this point.
