Grab your flares and suppress your emotions—it’s time for another bleak and brilliant episode of Podcast Assemble. DL’s the boys agree that Stranger Things was at worst satisfying, while we take a deep dive into James Islington’s The Strength of the Few (epic, dense, and emotionally devastating—just how we like it). Then it's time to descend into the nightmare that is 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple—a film we both loved, but we totally get if you didn’t.

Main Topic:

The Bone Temple is the haunting next chapter in the 28 Days Later saga—more psychological horror than zombie sprint-fest. It swaps the chaos of infection for the cold dread of cults, isolation, and a world that’s forgotten how to hope. Visually arresting and narratively brutal, it’s not here to hold your hand—it’s here to gnaw it off. DL praised its atmosphere. Tommy’s still recovering emotionally. It's bold, bleak, and exactly the kind of divisive cinema we wish studios made more of.

Is 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple a high-concept horror masterpiece—or just two hours of beautifully shot human misery? Let us know at [email protected] or hit us up on socials. Bonus points if you can explain what Ghost actually does.
