Main Topic:

Weapons is a fractured nightmare stitched together from suburban paranoia, internet-age folklore, and the kind of vibes you get when someone asks, “Did you hear a noise?” but never turns the lights on. Think 'The Witches' meets 'Sinister' via Reddit rabbit hole. The film explores interconnected stories unraveling after a disturbing small-town incident, asking: what if your trauma had Wi-Fi? DL’s intrigued. Tommy’s uncomfortable - and that’s a compliment.

Is Weapons another indie-horror classic, or just Barbarian’s weird cousin who won’t stop talking about symbolism? Let us know at thepodcastassemble@gmail.com or hit us up on socials.
