Main Topic:

Tommy and DL are still on the Nuptual Tour and recorded this one early, but there's no less of the antics you love! The lads talk The Gentleman Series, Fallout, revisit the Dave Chapelle Special and tease a Red Rising - Book 2 spoilercast.

The main topic this week, in anticipation of the re-make releasing this year, is The Crow (1994). A cult classic, DL is perplexed by the grunge and Tommy relives his childhood as they discover that Brandon Lee was the true inspiration for Heath Ledger's Joker character.

Is The Crow worthy of the cult status is received? Or should it be put on the shelf with Donnie Darko? 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!

This week, while Tommy and DL are traveling for the big wedding, they tackle the much-maligned but eagerly-argued third installment of the Aliens series, Alien³. Sigourney Weaver is back as Ripley and inhabited by an incubating Xenomorph - add a prison planet to the mix and you have a recipe for disaster! DL also catches us up on the plot for his new book, hitting the shelves in 2025! (well, maybe - just wishlist it please!)

Do you think Alien³ was a key pillar in the trilogy, or was it a big let down? 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!

This week we return to one of Podcast Assemble's favorite movie studios, with the latest cab off the ranks from A24 - 'Civil War' (2024). The film was both written and directed by another MVP of the pod, Alex Garland, in which we follow a set of journalist's making their way across America for one last big story as the war comes to a close. But does this masterpiece in tension building go far enough?

For our main topic this week we are reviewing the Dev Patel directed and starred in - 'Monkey Man (2024).
