Our main topic this week The MCU is back...baby?! The boy's enthusiasm for the MCU is dipping similarly to the public opinion, however at least Tommy is sticking-up for The Marvels (2023). The commonality between Phases 4 and 5 appears to be missed potential! Look out for DL's rant on MCU villains - it is not to be missed. Do you think the movie was a contender for the next Aquaman (2018)? We answer all these questions and more!

We've got a special visitor from Melbourne this week - Regs of the Film Addicts Podcast! And he's dropped by in person to record a very special episode of a film that we've all come to love over the years.

Here us dive back into the Chris Nolan Anthology with "The Dark Knight" (2008), a seminal addition to the Batman film series featuring Christian Bale and the legendary Heath Ledger (RIP). Regs gives us his takes on the film and we all wonder why Mark Wahlberg wasn't cast as the Joker instead of Ledger...

What did you rate 'The Dark Knight' as one of your top Nolan films? Let us know by messaging [email protected] or hitting us up on socials, and we'll give you a shout-out on the pod!

Main Topic:

This week we're diving head long back into one of our many anthologies.. if we can still call it that, as DL & Tommy review the 2019 Sci-fi 'I am Mother'. The small cast (including Hilary Swank) and clinical aesthetic, gives this thriller 'Alien' vibes - But due to being released right before the start of the pandemic, we wonder if anyone actually saw it?

Listen this week to hear about the the heady themes, refreshing takes on worn out tropes and stick around for the end for some very very wholesome content. You don't want to miss this episode!

Main Topic:

Tommy and DL are concluding their Halloween trilogy of laughably bad horror films with an inspired piece from back in the day: The Swarm (1978). Michael Caine joins a stellar cast with an unread script and side-stories galore in this 3-hour epic ripped to shreads by the Podcast Assemble duo.

Listen this week to hear about the dangers of bees, the unfortunate musings of entymologists, an overly intimate town with poor childcare and the death of one important director's career. You don't want to miss this episode!

Main Topic:

Tommy and DL are back at it again, this time virtually to avoid some unintended viral generosity! In the lead up to the Spooky season they're talking Horror.. but in a way only Podcast Assemble can - with a trilogy of unintentionally funny 'horror' movies!

This week, Tommy brings "The Wickerman (2006)" to the table and astonishes DL by the lack of good acting, solid plot and artfully-created CGI bees. They also cannot look past the appearance of Nicolas Cage as the main protagonist who doesn't seem to know what kind of film he's in, who he should be finding, or generally where the "Nic Cage" of The Wickerman comes in!

Listen this week to hear about Nic Cage at his worst, a mysterious "Sister Beach" and an unexpected James Franco cameo. And whatever you do, don't be a honey-d**ker.

The boys catch-up on all things they've been "up to", before jumping onto this week's main topic. In the lead up to the Spooky season we're talking Horror.. but in a way only Podcast Assemble can - with a trilogy of unintentionally funny 'horror' movies! We kick off with the 2008 comedy.. sorry horror flick 'The Happening', from M. Night Shyamalan. Could you keep a straight face at Mark Wahlberg's line delivery? We talk spicy takes and more!
