Join the boys and their twin brother's for another action packed episode of Podcast Assemble! With recommendations for Red Rising series' 'Iron Gold' and 'Jedi: survivor'. Before jumping into this weeks main topic 'Sinners'—from Black Panther & Creed's Ryan Coogler. Think From Dusk Till meets Mississippi Burning, only with double the Michael B. Jordan.
*PSA - with the boy's now being literally across the pond, Podcast Assemble will be moving to a bi-weekly schedule.
****************************
Time Codes:
****************************
Main Topic:
Sinners is a genre-bending fever dream—part Southern Gothic, part vampire musical, soaked in blues and blood. The boys have been circling this one like a juke joint on payday. The story follows twin brothers Smoke and Stack as they return home to 1932 Mississippi, only to find their dreams haunted by something darker than racism: the undead. With themes of legacy, identity, and the price of immortality, Sinners dances between art and exploitation—like O Brother, Where Art Thou? if it bit back.

Join the boys for another classified episode of Podcast Assemble! With recommendations for 'Adolescence' and 'Slow Horses'. Before we jump into this weeks main topic 'Black Bag'—Steven Soderbergh’s latest spy flick where secrets are currency, and marriage counselling involves surveillance gear. Think Mr. & Mrs. Smith but make it existential, British, and way more passive aggressive.
****************************
Time Codes:
****************************
Main Topic:
Black Bag is a slick throwback to Cold War-era paranoia, wrapped in a modern Soderbergh lens and dressed like a Bond film in therapy. The boys have been low key excited to get to this one! The story follows George and Kathryn, a married pair of intelligence agents whose trust issues go nuclear when a mole surfaces—and she’s suspect number one. With themes of loyalty, deception, and the fragility of identity under pressure, Black Bag plays out like an emotional chess game… where everyone’s lying about being a pawn.

Join the boys for another deeply *AHEM* intellectual episode of Podcast Assemble! This week we're discussing one of the most talked about shows on TV right now - Severance! The show is like a hydra - if they give you 1 answer, 3 more questions are raised...
****************************
Time Codes:
****************************
Main Topic:
Severance is a cultural juggernaut, bringing back 'water cooler' Television for a new generation - the boys have wanted to talk about this one for a while! The show follows Mark, Dylan and Irving's “innies”, working for the shady corporation Lumin, in Macrodata Refinement. Their (brief) lives are turned upside down when co-worker, Helly R, is introduced... Exploring themes of identity, corporate exploitation and grief the show is more multi-layered than a waffle party.

Captain America: Brave New World is the latest installment of Anthony Mackie's Captain America, where we see the tail ends of The Eternals, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and more semi-influential, partially important Marvel films smashed together to wrap up all these plot lines that we're all conspiring about.
Despite the obvious entendre, the film was fun and Tommy & Regs both enjoyed it. Though the clear recuts and rewrites affected the progression, with the likes of Harrison Ford, Liv Tyler and Anthony Mackie among a bunch of other great cast members, how could you go wrong?!
Is "The Leader" storyline actually going anywhere? Will they ever truly deal with The Eternals cinematic failure? And do you think Sam Wilson needs PEDs just to compare to Chris Evans?

Main Topic:
"Moon (2009)" is about solitude, commitment, introspection, and collecting moon rocks to sustain the Earth. Low stakes, right? Sam Rockwell plays Sam Bell, a lone miner on the moon sending rocks back to Earth for fuel, support by the robot played by Kevin Spacey (😦). In this moody, moony sci-fi pic, you'll be riveted by the potential and absorbed in the ambience of the low-budget set from back in 2009.
Is Sam Rockwell a secret talent? Were you convinced by Sam Bell's relaxed approach to a short timeline? And could you live on the Moon by yourself for three years? Let us know by contacting us at thepodcastassemble@gmail.com or hitting us up on socials, and we'll give you a shout-out on the pod!

Tommy & DL are back BABY for 2025, and starting off with a modern masterpiece! "Nosferatu" (2024), as a new take on the classic Dracula story, brings a film style not seen for a long time. Dark tones, sexual subtext and great acting - you'll find out why its a good (yet oddly uncomfortable) time with Count Orlok-ula in this week's episode!

"Nosferatu (2024)" is a unique take on a classic folk tale about Dracula, but boy is it a horny one! With stellar performances and odd tonal shifts with the introduction of more characters, it becomes a wild journey executed very well!
With a star-studded cast in Bill Skarsgard, Willem Dafoe, Lily-Rose Depp and Nicholas Hoult, Tommy & DL marvel at the subtle sexual references, how the vampire couldn't be called "Count Chocula", and the spiffy Aaron Taylor-Johnson being the perfect patriarchal female subjugator!
