R Rating Ep2 - Highlander Franchise

Season 1 · Episode 2

lundi 22 septembre 2025 • Duration 02:08:27

In this episode of R Rating, we’re tackling the Highlander franchise — a cult saga that spans movies, TV shows, and even spin-offs. Starting with Highlander (1986), starring Christopher Lambert, Clancy Brown, and the legendary Sean Connery, the franchise gave us the immortal Connor MacLeod and the unforgettable line: “There can be only one.” From there, the series grew into a mix of sequels, a long-running TV show, and a fandom that refuses to let it die.

We’ll break down the original film, Highlander II, Highlander III, Endgame, The Source, and the Highlander TV series, looking at what worked, what didn’t, and why the franchise still has such a dedicated following despite its ups and downs. Is Highlander a cult classic that deserves more recognition, or a series that lost its way after the first film?

If you’re a fan of fantasy, action-adventure, sword fights, immortals, and cult 80s/90s franchises, this is the deep dive for you. Expect honest takes, nostalgia, and plenty of love for the franchise that gave us immortals battling across centuries.

R Rating Ep1 - Mad Max Franchise

Season 1 · Episode 1

dimanche 21 septembre 2025 • Duration 01:55:40

In this episode of R Rating, we’re diving into the Mad Max franchise — one of the most influential post-apocalyptic sagas in movie history. Starting with Mad Max (1979), directed by George Miller and starring a young Mel Gibson, the series exploded into a violent, stylish vision of a collapsing world where survival is everything. From the gritty revenge tale of the first film, to the explosive action of The Road Warrior (1981), the eccentric spectacle of Beyond Thunderdome (1985), and the modern masterpiece Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), we’ll cover it all.

We’ll break down the themes, action sequences, characters, world-building, and legacy of the franchise, looking at how George Miller shaped the entire post-apocalyptic action genre. Which film still stands tall as the best? How did Fury Road bring new life to the series after decades? And why does Mad Max remain one of cinema’s most unique and enduring franchises?

If you’re a fan of action movies, dystopian worlds, car chases, practical effects, and cinematic chaos, this episode is a must-listen. Expect high-octane discussion, sharp insights, and our unfiltered verdicts on every chapter of the saga.

lundi 8 décembre 2025 • Duration 01:12:35

In this episode of R Rating, we’re diving into Alien Resurrection — the fourth film in the legendary Alien franchise, and easily the weirdest, wildest, and most divisive entry of them all.

We break down everything from Ripley’s controversial clone storyline, to the bio-engineered Xenomorphs, to the film’s tonal shift under director Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Whether you love this movie, hate it, or just enjoy watching the franchise get progressively weirder, this episode is packed with behind-the-scenes details, story analysis, and all the chaotic sci-fi energy Alien Resurrection is known for.

R Rating Ep14 - Alien 3 (1992)

Season 1 · Episode 14

vendredi 7 novembre 2025 • Duration 01:05:04

In this episode of R Rating, we’re descending into the dark, grim world of Alien³ (1992), the most divisive and misunderstood entry in the Alien franchise. Directed by a young David Fincher in his feature debut, Alien 3 took bold risks that split fans and critics alike — and we’re here to unpack every one of them.

We’ll explore how Alien³ followed up the action-packed Aliens with a return to bleak horror and isolation, what went wrong behind the scenes, and how Fincher’s vision was reshaped by studio interference. From Sigourney Weaver’s raw performance as Ripley to the haunting prison planet setting and nihilistic tone, we dig deep into why this film deserves a second look.

Is Alien³ an underrated masterpiece, or a frustrating misfire? Let’s find out.

Join R Rating for a deep dive into one of the most fascinatingly flawed films in sci-fi horror history — and why it’s more important to the franchise than most fans realize.

R Rating Ep5 - Predators (2010)

Season 1 · Episode 5

vendredi 3 octobre 2025 • Duration 01:07:24

In this episode of R Rating, we’re diving into Predators (2010) — the high-stakes sci-fi thriller that expanded the legendary Predator franchise. Directed by Nimród Antal and produced by Robert Rodriguez, the film drops a group of deadly killers — including Adrien Brody, Alice Braga, Topher Grace, and Laurence Fishburne — onto an alien hunting preserve where survival is anything but guaranteed.

We’ll break down the story, characters, action sequences, creature design, and connections to the original Predator films. Does Predators deserve more recognition, or is it a weaker sequel in a beloved franchise? How does it compare to Predator (1987) and Predator 2 in terms of suspense, action, and world-building?

If you’re a fan of sci-fi, monster movies, survival thrillers, or the Predator series, this episode is for you. Expect an in-depth discussion of the Predator species, the film’s unique hunting preserve, and the standout performances, plus our honest verdict on how it fits in the franchise.

R Rating Ep4 - Predator 2 (1990)

Season 1 · Episode 4

mercredi 1 octobre 2025 • Duration 01:07:19

In this episode of R Rating, we’re diving deep into Predator 2 (1990), the explosive sci-fi action sequel that brought the deadly Predator out of the jungle and into the streets of Los Angeles. Starring Danny Glover as LAPD officer Mike Harrigan, this film trades the wilderness for urban warfare — but does it hold up against the Arnold Schwarzenegger classic that started it all?

Join us as we break down the story, characters, action sequences, creature design, and legacy of Predator 2. We’ll explore whether this 90s cult classic is an underrated gem in the Predator franchise or a sequel that missed the mark.

If you’re a fan of sci-fi movies, action thrillers, monster films, or 90s cinema, this episode is for you. We’ll give you the good, the bad, and our honest verdict on Predator 2.

R Rating Ep11 - Evil Dead Rise (2023)

Season 1 · Episode 11

lundi 27 octobre 2025 • Duration 01:18:00

In this episode of R Rating, we dive into the blood-soaked madness of Evil Dead Rise (2023) — the latest entry in Sam Raimi’s iconic horror franchise. Directed by Lee Cronin, this brutal, claustrophobic take on the Evil Dead mythos trades the cabin for a Los Angeles high-rise but keeps all the gore, chaos, and demonic terror fans expect.

We talk about Alyssa Sutherland’s terrifying performance as a possessed mother, the film’s shocking practical effects, and how it stacks up against the classics — Evil Dead, Evil Dead II, Army of Darkness, and the 2013 remake. Expect plenty of laughs, deep horror analysis, and unfiltered opinions as we discuss one of the most talked-about horror films of the year.

Whether you’re a lifelong horror fan or just love a good scare, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
