Episode 564: Predator: Badlands (Light Spoilers!), Sentimental Value, Die My Love, Christy

PREDATOR: BADLANDS: We were shocked at how much we enjoyed this. It's a blast of a summer popcorn movie, dropped right in the middle of prestige movie season. And you don't need to know much about the Predator franchise going into it. (FYI, some light spoilers here.) In theaters.

SENTIMENTAL VALUE: A major awards contender, and possibly the best movie of the year (according to Christy, at least). The latest from director and co-writer Joachim Trier ("The Worst Person in the World") is a moving family drama starring Stellan Skarsgård and Renate Reinsve. In theaters.

DIE MY LOVE: Jennifer Lawrence absolutely goes for it in this harrowing story of post-partum depression. Director Lynne Ramsay puts Lawrence through the wringer in her role as a new mom navigating the isolation of a Montana farmhouse. Robert Pattinson co-stars as her husband. In theaters.

CHRISTY: Of course we had to review this. Sydney Sweeney transforms herself to play Christy Martin, the coal miner's daughter who became a trailblazer in the world of women's boxing. Ben Foster is chilling as her abusive trainer and husband. But this is a pretty standard sports biopic. In theaters.
