  Join the boys and their twin brother's for another action packed episode of Podcast Assemble! With recommendations for Red Rising series' 'Iron Gold' and 'Jedi: survivor'. Before jumping into this weeks main topic 'Sinners'—from Black Panther & Creed's Ryan Coogler. Think From Dusk Till meets Mississippi Burning, only with double the Michael B. Jordan.*PSA - with the boy's now being literally across the pond, Podcast Assemble will be moving to a bi-weekly schedule. ****************************Time Codes:Intro - 0:21What Have You Been Up To? - 6:03!!

The boys have been circling this one like a juke joint on payday. The story follows twin brothers Smoke and Stack as they return home to 1932 Mississippi, only to find their dreams haunted by something darker than racism: the undead. With themes of legacy, identity, and the price of immortality, Sinners dances between art and exploitation—like O Brother, Where Art Thou? if it bit back.Have you seen Sinners?

• 185. Black Bag (2025)

  Join the boys for another classified episode of Podcast Assemble! With recommendations for 'Adolescence' and 'Slow Horses'. Before we jump into this weeks main topic 'Black Bag'—Steven Soderbergh’s latest spy flick where secrets are currency, and marriage counselling involves surveillance gear. Think Mr. & Mrs. Smith but make it existential, British, and way more passive aggressive. ****************************Time Codes:Intro- 0:21What have you been watching?- 8:45MAIN TOPIC: Black Bag (2025)- 28:32Stupid Plot Summary- 29:19Cast & Crew- 30:21Plot- 30:59Performances- 40:11Fassbender's Moral Code- 43:59(No) Action- 45:15Tones & Themes- 45:443 Best & 3 Worst- 46:26Critical Reception- 50:19Better or Worse than Aquaman (2018)?- 51:08!! SPOILERS- 51:45Trivia True or False- 57:29Wrapping Up- 59:56****************************Main Topic:Black Bag is a slick throwback to Cold War-era paranoia, wrapped in a modern Soderbergh lens and dressed like a Bond film in therapy. The boys have been low key excited to get to this one! The story follows George and Kathryn, a married pair of intelligence agents whose trust issues go nuclear when a mole surfaces—and she’s suspect number one. With themes of loyalty, deception, and the fragility of identity under pressure, Black Bag plays out like an emotional chess game… where everyone’s lying about being a pawn.Have you seen Black Bag?
