And boy are the writers running low on ideas.

Halloween (1978)
56:06||Ep. 169Keep those spooky vibes rolling with the special Halloween Episode of Podcast Assemble where the lads talk about... well... Halloween! John Carpenter's classic 1978 thriller occupies most of their chat, as DL was embroiled in podcasts, and Tommy just played video games all weekend. *ahem*.... yep.TIMESTAMPS:Intro 0:25.035What have you been up to? 6:21.638MAIN TOPIC: Halloween (1978) 18:05.323Stupid Plot Summary 19:08.383Cast & Crew 21:55.597Goofy IMDB Pic 22:27.751Plot 24:13.951Music 28:55.374Pacing 29:41.759Cinematography & World-Building 33:29.686Action 40:08.583Tones & Themes 44:48.1143 Best & 3 Worst 45:15.350Critical Reception 49:44.281Better or Worse than Aquaman (2018)? 51:24.071Trivia True or False 51:49.058Wrapping Up 54:21.051Main Topic:Halloween is seen as a classic that set up 25 (?) more films to follow, and set a new foundation for horror films from that point onwards! The prestige of this film is sometimes overcome by the "hokeyness" of the scenes, and some plot devices not quite working as we expect. Surely home owners in middle America would open their door to a screaming teenager... right?Nevertheless, Tommy and DL had a great time with the first appearance of the "Michael Myers" character, and how this film generated ridiculous sums of money on a low budget while also setting up the rest of the industry for decades to follow.Could you walk past Jamie Lee Curtis as a teenager? How was your "fear-o-meter" tuned for this film? How many children have terrified you enough to inspire a film?

Wolfs (2024)
53:49||Ep. 168Back in their regular, warm, comfy movie seats on either side of the planet, Tommy & DL jump back into the latest streaming film in "Wolfs" with Brad Pitt and George Clooney. They also chat more about Red Rising as Tommy jumps into Book 3, how Agatha All Along suprised everyone and how Tommy will record an entire album of him singing DL's favourite songs to remind him of home.TIMESTAMPS:Intro 0:28.627What have you been up to? 7:42** RED RISING SPOILERS START ** 11:54** RED RISING SPOILERS ENDS ** 12:53MAIN TOPIC: Wolfs (2024) **NON-SPOILERS 16:37Stupid Plot Summary 17:41Cast & Crew 18:21Plot 20:51Acting 27:19Music 32:23Tones & Themes 33:563 Best & 3 Wrost 35:12Critical Receptionn 37:43Better or Worse than Aquaman (208)? 39:39** FULL SPOILERS START ** 40:08** FULL SPOILERS END ** 46:39Trivia True or False 46:39Wrapping Up 51:06Main Topic:In tribute to Tarantino and Bonnie & Clyde, "Wolfs" includes Brad Pitt and George Clooney as competing Fixers in New York City, brought together through less than likely circumstances and them grumbling all the way. Tommy and DL weren't grumbling! In fact, they could out a podcast or two for saying this movie is terrible...It turned out great, as a delightful straight-to-streaming romp with some big names, and they try as hard as they can not to mentioned the *ahem*....

Joker: Folie à Deux (2024)
01:15:25||Ep. 167Finally, DL is back on the mic and this week Tommy and his favourite LOTR Nerd (now across the pond) discuss the big move, Rings of Power, Sugar, KAOS and share their thoughts on the second installment of Todd Phillips' Joker franchise!TIMESTAMPS:Intro 0:21.361What have you been up to? 6:32MAIN TOPIC: Joker Folie a Deux (2024) 33:44Stupid Plot Summary 36:03Cast & Crew 36:48Comparing the Joker 40:09Pacing 48:29How was Gaga Quinn? 54:41Tones & Themes 55:533 Best & 3 Worst 56:51Critical Reception 59:50Better or Worse than Aquaman (2018)? 1:00:40** SPOILERS START HERE** 1:01:35** SPOILERS END HERE ** 1:10:07Trivia True or False 1:10:07Wrapping Up 1:13:10Main Topic:Joker: Folie à Deux - the anticipated follow-up to Jaoquin Phoenix's Joker from 2019 seems to have fallen flat, and the lads think so too! Their interest was piqued by the idea of building on the character into a broader Batman/Gotham universe, but discovered a musical with an on-brand Gaga as Harley Quinn.While Tommy and DL seemed to enjoy the watching experience, I think they now understand why the collective opinion seems to be that it's a waste of time and money...Have you caught Joker 2 yet? Were you impressed by Jaoquin's skinny legs and white underpants?
