This weeks breakdown of our experience watching the new 2026 film Primetime.
We get into our expectations going in, our immediate reactions, and the conversations the movie sparked once the credits rolled. From the rise of To Catch a Predator and Chris Hansen becoming a cultural figure to the blurred line between journalism, entertainment, justice, and exploitation, Primetime gave us plenty to unpack.
We discuss Robert Pattinson’s portrayal, the film’s approach to the world behind the cameras, and how differently we view this kind of television now compared to when we originally watched it.
Was To Catch a Predator legitimate investigative journalism—or did catching predators eventually become must-see entertainment? And what does that say about the people making it, the people participating in it, and the millions of us watching at home?
