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 thepodcastassemble@gmail.com or hitting us up on socials, and we'll give you a shout-out on the pod!
