    R&R 145: ”Finish Him, Hunt Them, Derezzed!”
    Jul 25 2025
    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!
