Rum & Regret Podcast

This week on the Rum & Regret Podcast we dive into: 🎬 Freaky Tales – a wild anthology that doesn’t hold back. 🎶 K-Pop Demon Hunters – yes, it’s exactly as insane as it sounds (and we loved it). 👽 Alien Earth – the new TV series that asks, what if home was never really ours? Grab your drink of choice 🍹, hit play ▶️, and join us as we break down the best (and weirdest) of the big screen and small screen this week.  

This week on the Rum & Regret Podcast, we enter full trailer breakdown mode as we dive headfirst into three of the biggest drops from SDCC (or your nerd feed of choice): 🔥 Mortal Kombat 2 – We analyze every bone-crunching frame, speculate on the tournament’s stakes, and debate who’s bringing the most fatal energy this time around. (Spoiler: it’s still Sub-Zero.) 👾 Predator: Badlands – The galaxy’s deadliest hunter hits the Wild West(?) and we’re here for every dusty, dystopian standoff. Can this be the franchise revival we didn’t know we needed? ⚡ Tron: Ares – It’s neon, it’s moody, and Jared Leto is in it. We break down what’s next for the Grid and whether this entry can reboot the reboot.  Plus, we share our regrets (as always) and our favorite hype moments from each trailer. 💥 Subscribe, listen, and let the speculation begin!
