This week's episode is brought to you by No Country for Old Films! Tommy & Reg's new podcast - check them out on YouTube, Spotify and all the socials!
Grab your contractually obligated Lycra and energy drink sponsorship - it’s time for another turbo-charged episode of Podcast Assemble! This week, the boys are joined by. Regs! Tommy’s been brushing up on L.A. Confidential (because noir never dies), DL’s still swimming with The Sopranos (he’s all in on gabagool culture). Then it’s on to the big reboot of the dystopian deathmatch classic: The Running Man (2025).

Main Topic:
The Running Man (2025) reboots the Reagan-era bloodsport satire for a streaming-obsessed world—and somehow makes it feel even more plausible. Contestants now fight for their lives in a gladiator arena that looks suspiciously like a YouTube thumbnail. The new host is as bombastic, the deaths more algorithmic, but will the 1987 classic be getting a revival after this? DL thinks it has its moments. Tommy’s mostly impressed they managed to make it more depressing and more expensive.
Is The Running Man (2025) a smart, savage update—or just Black Mirror with gym memberships? Let us know at [email protected] or hit us up on socials. Bonus points if you can explain what Ghost actually does.
