    Bit of a shorter Topic episode this week as DL is heading across another pond for a 4 week holiday!


    As you know, we love Game of Thrones on Podcast Assemble; DL will fight you if you say season 6 is anything but top tier TV! However with the spin-off House of the Dragon dropping on HBO soon, we thought it would be interesting to discuss a couple of series' which attempted to fill the GOT void... and failed. We'll be discussing why these shows were billed as being contenders and also, why they didn't quite live up to the billing. Did you like any of these shows? Or are there any shows we missed - to let us know find us on Instagram at @podcastassemble or [email protected]

    Thor is first Marvel hero to get a forth MCU movie with Thor Love & Thunder being in cinemas this week. So we're returning to where it all began and bringing back The Great Debate! We dive into the archives to work out which of us has the more compelling argument... is this better or worse than Aquaman (2018)? But we want to know what you think - did either of us convince you? Or did you still think Thor's bleached eyebrows are a step too far, find us and let us know @podcastassemble or [email protected]

    Did you hear this week we had MORE Dune part 2 casting, there's reportedly a Jon Snow focused GOT spin off in the works at HBO, Christian Bale apparently doesn't know what the MCU is.. and much much more.


    This week we're back for the latest release from one of our (apparently) favorite studios, A24, who's rags to riches movie Everything Everywhere All At Once is ramping up to cinemas near you! This (googly) eye opening movie is a universe hopping extravaganza, which may be a serious contender for best multiversal movie. Michelle Yeoh's Evelyn is a tour de force in a surprising and heartfelt sleeper hit! What we'd like to know is: do you think it's better or worse than Aquaman (2018)?
