This week on Rum & Regret, the crew dives headfirst into the chaos of fandom culture. Nate breaks down the latest updates, rumors, and speculation coming out of the world of Marvel — including what’s heating up next for the MCU. Jo brings the horror with a look at the brutal new trailer for Evil Dead Burn and explains why the franchise still knows how to make audiences squirm. Then the entire crew gathers around the table to talk all things Season 5 of The Boys — what’s worked so far, the wildest moments yet, and where the show could be heading next. Expect hot takes, fan theories, and the usual Rum & Regret chaos along the way. Grab a drink and join the conversation.

In this episode of Rum & Regret, the crew pours a stiff one and dives headfirst into Pretty Lethal—a glossy thriller that blends beauty, danger, and a whole lot of questionable decisions. Is it a stylish hit that keeps you on edge, or does it fall apart once you look past the surface? We break down the performances, the twists (without spoiling the fun too early), and whether the story actually delivers on its deadly promise. Along the way, expect the usual Rum & Regret chaos—hot takes, side tangents, and a few laughs at the film’s most over-the-top moments. So grab a drink, press play, and join us as we decide: is Pretty Lethal worth your time… or should it have stayed on the cutting room floor?

This week on Rum & Regret, Nate delivers another jam-packed Marvel Minute with the latest updates from the MCU. Andy dives into The Watchlist with thoughts on Paradise on Hulu and Netflix’s live-action One Piece, breaking down what’s worth your time.

Jo returns to the wilderness with a full review of Season 2 of Yellowjackets, sharing thoughts on the twists, trauma, and theories after finally catching up on the hit survival drama Andy’s been championing for years. Then we head back to Westeros with a deep dive into Game of Thrones: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, discussing early impressions, story potential, and whether this new tale of knights and honor can capture the magic of the original series. As always, expect strong opinions, questionable takes, and just enough rum-fueled regret to keep things interesting. 🥃 Topics Include: Nate’s Marvel Update Yellowjackets Season 2 Review A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Breakdown Pop culture tangents and nonsense

After three years of relentless badgering, dramatic reenactments, and Andy aggressively whispering “buzz buzz buzz” into the group chat… Jo & Nate have finally watched Yellowjackets. This week on Rum & Regret, the long-awaited reckoning is here. Did they love it? Did they question Andy’s sanity? Did they emotionally recover from… that episode? The crew dives into first impressions, favorite characters, most unhinged moments, wilderness trauma, 90s nostalgia, and whether the hype was justified — or if Andy owes everyone an apology (he does not). Expect spoilers, strong opinions, survival strategy debates, and at least one dramatic “I TOLD YOU SO.” Pour a drink, avoid suspicious stew, and join us in the woods. 🐝

Episode 155 of The Rum & Regret Podcast takes a hard left turn through pop culture. We start in Westeros with a breakdown of the first two episodes of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, sharing our early impressions and concerns. Then we pivot to trailers—reacting to Darth Maul’s return, the power of Masters of the Universe, the ultra-violent hype of Invincible Season 4, and the joyful chaos of The Muppet Show. It’s a little serious, a little ridiculous, and exactly the kind of mix we live for.

2026 is shaping up to be a big year. In this episode of The Rum & Regret Podcast, we preview the upcoming movies, television series, video games, and experiences we’re most looking forward to. From massive releases to under-the-radar surprises, we break down what has our attention, what we’re cautiously optimistic about, and what might completely take over our lives next year.

It’s our annual tradition—and we’re going all in. On this year’s Rum & Regret Annual Best Of episode, we break down the TV shows that had everyone talking, the movies that dominated the box office (and the group chats), and the pop culture moments that defined 2025. From surprise hits to unforgettable flops, viral moments to cultural shifts, we toast the stories, stars, and chaos that made 2025 one unforgettable year in entertainment. Pour a drink and relive it all with us.

The Rum & Regret team clocks in with Jo's Horror Corner, The Rum & Regret Watchlist & Nate's Marvel Minute for December 2025.

The Rum & Regret crew is back for Episode #151, and this time they’re joined by special guest Cam Hughes for a deep dive into Netflix’s chilling new series, Monster: The Ed Gein Story. From the true-crime roots of one of America’s most infamous killers to the series’ unsettling attention to detail, the gang breaks down what works, what twists the stomach, and why Gein’s legacy continues to haunt pop culture. Cam brings his sharp facts, Andy pours the drinks, Jo brings the receipts, and Nate regrets everything (as usual) while the team unpacks the psychology, storytelling, and real-world horrors behind the show. Grab a glass, brace yourself, and settle in for a conversation equal parts fascinating and freaky. It’s Rum. It’s Regret. It’s Gein.

The Rum & Regret are back as Andy and special guest Steve Polivka return from the shadows to unpack their October 31 Horror Movies in 31 Days challenge!

Expect plenty of laughter, questionable movie choices, and the kind of horror-fueled delirium only the Rum & Regret crew can deliver.

The annual terror tradition returns! In Nate’s Nightmare Fuel, Vol. IV, Andy, Jo & Steve once again subject poor Nate to a triple dose of cinematic trauma — this time featuring the bone-crunching brutality of Bone Tomahawk, the supernatural possession chaos of Talk to Me, and the unnerving mystery of Bring Her Back. Will Nate survive this year’s horror gauntlet with his sanity intact, or will he finally admit we’ve gone too far? Grab your rum, steel your nerves, and join The Rum & Regret Podcast for screams, laughs, and maybe a few therapy referrals.

Finally, we feast our way through Marvel Zombies—because even Earth’s Mightiest Heroes can’t escape the hunger. Grab your drink of choice and join us for laughs, horror, and the occasional bad pun—because it’s spooky season and the Rum Boys are hungry for content! 🧟‍♂️🎃🥃

The crew cracks open a bottle and dives headfirst into Alien: Earth, the latest chapter in the iconic sci-fi horror saga.

(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.
