(Spoiler: it’s still Sub-Zero.)<br /><br />👾 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?<br /><br />⚡ 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. <br /><br />Plus, we share our regrets (as always) and our favorite hype moments from each trailer. 💥 Subscribe, listen, and let the speculation begin!<br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/rum-regret-podcast--5621780/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/rum-regret-podcast--5621780/support</a>.
