    Main Topic:

    Podcast Assemble proudly presents you with DL's best idea since we started the podcast - now we HAVE to do an episode on James Islington's 'The Will of the Many'... We also share recommendations for 'The Boys' Season 4, 'Logan' and 'Presumed Innocent',


    For this week's Main Topic we discuss whether the MCU is back (baby)?! 'Deadpool & Wolverine' (2024) is in theaters and this is one which we've been eagerly anticipating - but is Marvel Jesus enough to save the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, we're talking Non-Spoilers and the Spoilers in case you haven't seen it yet...


    Join us to find out whether this movie is better or worse than Aquaman 2018, and if the merc with a mouth truly has the juice to save Kevin Feige?


    Did 'Deadpool & Wolverine' shatter your fourth wall, or did it suffer from a too high QPM ratio (quips per minute)? Let us know by contacting us at [email protected] or hitting us up on socials, and we'll give you a shout-out on the pod!

    Main Topic:

    The boys are back on their BS this week, with DL getting to the pointy end of a long proposed move to the UK and Tommy having trouble with real estate agents. We talk what we've been up to including DL getting deeper into the #RedRising series and Tommy thinks #DreamScenario squandered a great premise.


    For our Main Topic this week we're diving into yet another rebootuation, with the follow-up to the 1996 whirlwind of a disaster movie Twister, we're talking 'Twisters' (2024). Starring Glen Powell (the king of the rebootuation) and Daisy Edgar-Jones, the movie is blows through old territory, but does it broach any new ground?

    Join Podcast Assemble to find out whether this movie is better or worse than Aquaman 2018, and if Disaster movies are back (baby!)?


    Did 'Twisters' blow you away, or did it blow out? Let us know by contacting us at [email protected] or hitting us up on socials, and we'll give you a shout-out on the pod!

    Main Topic:

    Tommy & DL are back this week to share their excitement of the new announcements: Severance Season 2 is coming on January 17, and Gladiator II on November 15! Which one is the least exciting of the two? Perhaps you'll be disappointed, as DL is more obssessed with the Euros than he should be.


    This week's Main Topic is the much anticipated "The Bikeriders (2024)" with Austin Butler, Tom Hardy, Michael Shannon and Jodie Comer: all with star credibility to bring this, initially unappealing, film a sheen to bring it up to the big leagues. From bikes, to accents, to nudity, and then a smattering of tones and themes, this is a Podcast Assemble porterhouse for you to chew on this week.


    Do you think 'The Bikeriders' is hot, rough and ready for a wide, global audience? Let us know by contacting us at [email protected] or hitting us up on socials, and we'll give you a shout-out on the pod!

    For our week's main topic this week the boys discuss the third installment in the 'Quiet Place' franchise: 'A Quiet Place: Day One' (2024). John Krasinski is back on writing duty, as Michael Sarnoski takes the reigns to take the franchise to all new places (New York)!

Bringing "the suck zone" directly to you - we review an alum of the Twin film phenomenon era and where the follow-up with Glen Powell might go.

    Main Topic:

    This week's main topic dives head first into weaponized nostalgia (at least for some), as the boys tackle the fourth installment in the Bad Boys franchise: 'Bad Boys: Ride or Die' (2024). Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) return, a little older and a little slower.. but no less (ok a little less) Bad Boys! Join Tommy & DL as we discuss whether this continuation of a 30 year old franchise hits or misses the mark.

    'The War of the Rohirrim'.. 'The Hunt for Gollum'... MORE 'The Rings of Power'! When will it end?


    We love the Lord of the Rings books and original movies, but the list of extended media seems to be never ending, and it's making us a little concerned. Join us as we discuss the franchise that the LOTR is becoming and whether it is entirely necessary?

We discuss Peter Jackson's magnum opus, though watch out for our spicy takes.... We also share some recommendations (or not so much) from our streaming queues - including 'Three Body Problem' on Netflix's and 'Fleabag' .
