Boot up and log in—it’s time for another pixelated episode of Podcast Assemble! Tommy’s recommending Aunty Donna Live (imagine Monty Python got stuck in a Melbourne pub with Flight of the Conchords), while DL’s checkin-in on 'Wednesday' -Netflix’s goth megahit that somehow feels like homework, but for everyone. Tommy also watched MobLand, and can confirm: it exists. Then it’s time to jack into the mainframe with the OG computer-core fever dream: Tron (1982).

Main Topic:

Tron is a neon-drenched, early-'80s vision of cyberspace—equal parts arcade acid trip and philosophical head-scratcher. Jeff Bridges plays a dude who gets laser-zapped into a computer, fights for his life inside a glowing jumpsuit, and basically invents digital vibes. Tommy's impressed by the ambition (if not the pacing). DL's just here for cult legacy. It’s dated, daft, and oddly prophetic—like a tech demo with a god complex.

Is Tron a trailblazing sci-fi classic—or just proof that no one in 1982 knew how computers actually worked? Let us know at thepodcastassemble@gmail.com or hit us up on socials. No identity disc required.
