  • Prey Spoiler Special - With Director Dan Trachtenberg!

    If you've not seen the latest in the Predator franchise, we highly recommend watching Prey - on Disney+ in the UK, Hulu in the US - before you listen to this particular Radio 1's Screen Time spoiler special, where Ali gets to speak to the director of the film itself, one Dan Trachtenberg (10 Cloverfield Lane, The Boys), dissecting the movie in spoilerific detail with the man who actually made those spoilerific decisions. Things get geeky quickly - in the best possible way - with such topics as 'the best movie taglines ever', odd musical instruments and, you know, Prey itself, cropping up. And again, we can't be any clearer about this: SPOILERS FOR PREY ARE CONTAINED HEREIN.
