The crew cracks open a bottle and dives headfirst into Alien: Earth, the latest chapter in the iconic sci-fi horror saga. We break down the story, performances, and whether this installment delivers fresh terror or just rehashes old nightmares. Expect sharp takes, laughs, and a few side tangents along the way—because it wouldn’t be Rum & Regret without them.

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.
