Red hot comic book movie news. Shooting up your balls The Weekly Planet The Weekly Planet The Weekly Planet Welcome back everybody to another episode of The Weekly Planet where we talk movies and comics and TV shows. My name is James, also known as Mr. Sunday.

With me, as always, is my co-host Nick Mason. Immediately before pressing record, you said, imagine if I was one of those people who had a fake baby. And then you hit record before I could engage you on that wild sentiment. It's a thing people do. They get, you know, adults get them and then like dress them up. Because it's Halloween and I said, your son has a costume. I said, did you dress your baby up?

Yeah. And you were like, no No Because it's a baby It's a baby, no I'm not against dressing up babies You know when you see like a photo shoot And there's one like stuffed in a pumpkin or whatever

And it's asleep Excuse me You've seen that, right? I guess He took me like an Ann Getty's calendar Yeah, whatever They're like a fruit basket Don't say stuff a baby in a pumpkin though

That's what it is I guess it is That's what they're doing That's what it is. I guess it is. That's what they're doing. That's probably true. Sorry, I'm not sugarcoating it, Mason. It's all right. So I'm keeping it real. Yeah, no, you very much are.

Happy Halloween, everybody. Maybe we covered it last week, but we're back. Something that I forgot about. Halloween is done, by the way. Oh, by the time this is coming out, yeah. The one thing I forgot, because we're recording Halloween night. Yes, that's right. So this might be the spookiest podcast yet.

I mean, I'm talking about text time. Sorry, I had to get one more in. It's the only tradition we have. The one thing that I forgot, and as I was coming to your house, I noticed it a few times, the most important part of Halloween, which is groups of teenagers who haven't dressed up but they have threatening auras. You know, just a threatening group of teens just wandering around all surly. Exactly.

And it's even spookier because they're wearing like pandemic masks. That's true. Yeah, the perfect excuse now. A lot of them have knives. Are they real knives? Sometimes they knock on your door and they're just like trick or treat and you go. Trick.

Yeah, you're not wearing any costumes, but what will you do if I don't give you something? And you'll always know where I live. That's true, yeah. I can't have that quite frankly. But hey, it's that in-between period. I remember when you're a teen and you don't have a car, you can't get a little part of a drink. So it's like what do you do?

And if you were like, well, you know, if we're getting free candy, I should probably make some effort. But then you know your friends will make fun of you if you make any effort at all. So we understand, yeah. Yeah, that's it. But get off my property. Yeah, get off Mason's property. I've got a blunderbuss.

We got nobody to the door this year because I know some streets in my neighbourhood are doing it but, yeah, because of the big pandemic that's going on at the moment. The thing, you know. You've probably read about it in your local newspapers. Look, big topics this week. Big topics. We're going to be talking Mandalorian.

We're going to talk about Star Wars characters, weird Star Wars characters off the back of that. Sounds good. Because we've got some weird Star Wars characters showing up in bloody Mandalorian. You can jump to that if you want because there are time codes. We're also going to talk about Suicide Squad, new Assassin's Creed stuff, some Zack Snyder news in terms of like why the Snyder Cut

is going ahead, Spider-Man 3, Into the Spider-Verse and video game delays, Creed 3, a bunch of other Halloween trailers, one of which particularly we're going to talk about, which we'll get to, Moon Knight news and some other bits and pieces and bits and bobs, you know what I mean? I understand, sure. Time codes again. So here we go, Mason.

Let's start with Suicide Squad. James Gunn was questioned this week. He's always doing a Twitter Q&A and maybe this is from that. That is very true, yes. But they say James Gunn, what's going on? Mr James Gunn. Mr James Gunn, sir. Lord of celluloid, Mr James Gunn.

Yes. They asked him about what the agreement was for killing people on the Suicide Squad and he said said that was one of the things we agreed on before I came to work for them. And then they said, but what about the characters in the movie? Very good. And he said, I wasn't looking for shock value, but I wanted audiences to know that anything could happen.

So anybody can go. They said even like he could have killed Harley Quinn, he could have killed anybody. And he talks also about how like he could have killed Harley Quinn, he could have killed anybody. And he talks also about how like he's not a fan of killing people and then bringing them back. So for like Michael Rooker, for example, who dies in Guardians 2, he said he'd bring him back in like a flashback, but he wouldn't bring him back.

Yeah, right, right, right. That wouldn't stop like somebody else. Literally any other director. I mean, you know. Yeah, exactly. I'm sure they went, I'm sure DC went, okay, well, we'll say he can do whatever he wants and we won't bring any characters back when he's still at the helm, but realistically all these directors do maybe three at the most

and then we just bring Harley Quinn back. Exactly. We just had a bullet missed every vital organ in her brain. It went between the folds. Between the lobes, yeah, exactly. It went through that trench. Yeah, exactly. The trenchy bit.

But then you're savouring the corpus callosum, which is like the fibres that help your two sides of the brain communicate with each other. That being said, you can survive with that, but there's information that cannot be passed. So like one side of your brain, oh, this might be wrong. This is what I learned in psychology at school. I think I learned it from a TV movie, but continue.

Cool, excellent. But if you sever it, so one side of your brain is for words and stuff and the other one is for pictures. Turds and stuff. Turds and stuff, yeah. I like to show words and pictures. It was shown in the 80s. It was like children's.

It was British. It doesn't matter. Anyway. Did you suddenly get your corpus callosum reattached and all of a sudden this is all spurting out? But the point is if you cover one eye, whichever side of the brain is visual, you can look at a thing and you know what it is but you can't say it. Can't say what it is, yeah.

Because the eye that goes to the other side of your brain does the words. I'm not explaining this well. No, that's perfect. So you need both of them to kind of for that to work. So I think that's fascinating. Anyway, they also said – he also said that he could have directed anything including Superman. He said anything. Can people like, oh, that's bad could have directed anything, including Superman. He said anything.

Can people like, oh, that's bad grammar. Yes, that's right. If you were a director, you're a hot shot director like James Gunn. You're not, just to clarify. I wouldn't do Superman because it would be like that. Because it's nothing but trouble. Nothing but trouble. You're not going to get it right.

You won't get even close and people will be like, another one on the pile of the corpse that is the Superman's cinematic history. Well, well, well. So, yeah, you're right. It's like the one of Star Wars movies. But if anybody could, he could, I guess. Oh, I don't doubt it.

Statistically, probably won't be able to do it, yeah. I mean, you're not going to please everybody is what I'm saying. Well, see, and that's the thing. If they go, okay, well, I'll just make it a grounded one and it's old school Superman. He can only leap tall buildings. People will be like, well, boo, that sucks. And they're like, but it's a trilogy.

No. No. We don't care. No. Yeah. So I think he probably could make a very good Superman movie, but he's not. No.

He's doing this. What do you think he'll do after this? Guardians 3. But after that? I think he'll come after this? Guardians 3. But after that? I think he'll come back to DC and do something else. But after that? After that. Do you think he's a – I guess a lot of people now are like their career,

like Disney people or career Warner Brothers people where it's like, well, I did one and it did well so now I'm just going to do that until it's time to retire. I don't know because then you get like Taika Waititi and he does his weird little ones in between. Oh, that's true. Like Hitler's imaginary friend. So I think James Gunn would probably do.

Do another weird horror movie? I've kind of waited for Peter Jackson to kind of make another weird horror movie. He did a Superman movie and then he did another Brightburn movie because he produced it or whatever. Yeah, right. That's a parody of the Superman movie that he did. A parody of his own movie. Yes.

Has that ever been done? Okay, here's some. Because for this holiday season we considered doing maybe a Blubber own movie. Yes. Has that ever been done? Okay, here's some, because for this holiday season, we considered doing maybe a Blubber Ella commentary. Yes. But. We don't want to. No, we don't want to.

But apparently that is a scene by scene remake of one of his, of like Blood Rain, one of his Blood Rain movies. It's the same movie except with a different main character. Funny. Right? Funny stuff. Funny stuff. He's a real auteur.

He just does whatever he wants, assuming the German government will do it for free. Funny. Right? Funny stuff. Funny stuff. He's a real auteur. He just does whatever he wants, assuming the German government will do it for free. Exactly. There's something wrong with that guy. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I don't think you want to get too self-referential on your own movies.

It's like by the time they get to Scream 3 and they're like, can you believe all the screams that have happened? The third one's not as good, and it's like, boo, boo. This movie we're currently in and you're currently watching, viewers, not as good and it's like boo, boo. This movie we're currently in and you're currently watching, viewers, not as good.

You've been suckered. Don't. I mean that's a bold gambit though. I can't remember any off the top of my head but I'm sure. X-Men Apocalypse? Does that literally say? Yeah, they come out of. I want to say Return of the Jedi or it might be Back to the Future 3.

Right, and they're like sequels are always worse. The third one is the worst. Yeah, right. Because they did First Class Days of Future Past. Yeah, because it's a bold move because it is self-referential but it's also like you don't want to, do you really want to bring the audience's attention to the fact that your movie is not good? Yeah, absolutely.

Real, it's a. It's a bold strategy. It really is. It literally never pays off. And I was going to say it's also a very, it's a very bold move for us on the third episode of our podcast to in fact mention that at all. No, this is fine because we're going to nail it. Oh, we're going to nail this episode.

That's true, yeah, yeah. We're bucking the trend. Of a third podcast always being best. Yeah, I love this bit we've committed to probably forever. The bit that you've committed to forever is what's happening. What's going to happen at 500? I mean... Assume we get to 500.

We'll just ignore it. I should... A bit of feedback from the Planet Broadcasting Great Mates Facebook group. Some people's OCDs are going absolutely wild. Some people's... But even if we change it back, these three episodes will be labelled as such.

They're still labelled, yeah. It's like the time when one of the players from Geelong decided to change his names legally to Whiskers, like the brand of cat food, so that then it would go on the official roster for that week. It was like a brand deal. And then the AFL were like, not on our watch, and they didn't put it in. I can't remember who did it, but I don't know what that's going to do with anything.

My Corpus Colossum fact, I feel, was better. This one, not as good. You know what? The third fact is going to be the worst one of all. So let's not do any more facts on this episode. Agreed. Let's keep it all speculation. Or in fact for the remainder of this podcast.

Agreed. Netflix are pairing up with Ubisoft. Speaking of, are you going to get that new one with Watch Dogs but you can control anybody? Watch Dogs Legion. Yeah. It's in London and you can be anybody. Yeah, they've been teasing that for a long time, haven't they?

Yeah, I mean they delayed Cyberpunk again. We can talk about that as well. Let's do that now. They delayed Cyberpunk until December 10th. Yeah, yeah. So it's still coming. A couple more weeks. Because it's coming out on like five platforms at once.

Right, okay. If that makes sense. And also, I don't know if you saw this, but Into the Spider-Verse, the skin of that is going into the Miles Morales game. I did see that, yeah. And they got the frame rate is the same as the animation. Also, it's going to be kind of janky-ish. Have you seen it?

Yeah, yeah. It's great. It looks so good. And he's got that kind of spindliness to him. It looks so good. And also, they put the little pal like words when he hits people and stuff like that. It's not just a suit.

It's like they've- It's a way of life. It's a way of life. And apparently they've made it so you can use that frame rate on like the other suits, but no thank you. Gross and no thank you. Yeah, so no, I'm not a fan. I was talking to Collings about this because he likes the-

Collings, the way it's this show, he likes the Assassin's Creed games. But I find all those Ubisoft games like you get a tower and you liberate a tower. Oh, sure. I'm not a fan. But also I understand why people buy them. That's what we're talking about. Netflix is creating an Assassin's Creed series, right?

Because there's a live action series in the works described as an epic and genre-bending project along with animated and anime. They mean sci-fi and fantasy together. Yes, they do. Sci-fi and history together. That's right, along with animated and anime adaptations. Oh. There you go.

Okay. I made it through six minutes of the movie. You've watched some of it too. I made it to, I reckon I made it to a third maybe, a third of that movie. It's so boring. It's boring. Why is it so boring? It's boring.

It's a boring-ass movie. Yeah. The stuff in the past is better? I don't know if it is. I don't know. I think both time periods are the worst time period. Are both of his parents assassins maybe or they're from different ones, a Templar and one's an assassin or something?

Was that the plot of that movie? I don't know, Mason. I don't think it was. I thought it was six minutes of it. I don't think it was. Yeah, so. I just like the big claw arm that bashed him against walls and stuff. That is fun.

Yeah. They didn't have that in the, he just lies down in a bed. Yep. In the thing. Yep. But I, it's a good premise. It is, yeah. And that was the year that I boldly proclaimed, if you recall,

that it's either that movie or Warcraft would thoroughly shatter the video game curse. That's right. And I know some people, like, love Warcraft. Yeah. But that didn't happen. None of those things that I mentioned happened. I know some people like love Warcraft. Yeah. But that didn't happen. None of those things that I mentioned happened. So, yeah.

Speaking of Warcraft. Yeah. Here's a little bloody segue for you. Twist. Here we go. Twist and segue. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Director of Warcraft, Duncan Jones, otherwise known as Zowie Bowie.

Yes. His dad. Yes. They're making a movie about him. They certainly are. And it looks awful. There's three trailers this week. It looks so bad.

It looks so bad. There's Halloween Kills. Yes. Which is a year out. Uh-huh. It looks awful. There's three trailers this week. It looks so bad. It looks so bad. There's Halloween Kills, which is a year out. It was supposed to be this year, though. Midnight Sky, where George Clooney is like, I have to get a signal to space. It's interstellar but on Netflix. Either me or my daughter are already dead, you know. Sure, yeah, yeah.

One of them's in their mind. One of them's dead. That's going to be the twist of this movie. It's going to be the twist. That's right. We're getting self-referential even though it's not Midnight Sky 3 yet. Can you believe how self-referential Midnight Sky 3 is going to be? Crazy what we're doing.

So, look, we could talk about those all day. We won't. But let's talk about Stardust. Oh, my God. David Bowie. I got, yeah, I didn't get very far into this trailer and then you made me watch the whole thing. I did, it's true, yeah.

It's a real Assassin's Creed of a situation. Yeah. So, as I understand it, speaking of Duncan Jones, the Bowie slash Jones family does not approve of this adaptation and they won't allow any David Bowie music in it. So that's very cool. But he seems to be playing a lot of music. But what's he going to play, right?

Do you think they're going to fade out every time? I think it was, I might be wrong, with the movie Selma, Martin Luther King's speeches they couldn't use because somebody owns those. Right. So they had to write. New speeches. Yeah, like, but kind of were in the vein of something he would say. And apparently it's, like, done quite well.

They had to put them through a thesaurus of some kind. Yeah, that's right, exactly. It's like if you were copying somebody's homework but you couldn't. I've done that. You couldn't copy it directly. You just had to find fun similes. Yeah. Have you seen that episode of 30 Rock where Jenna Maroney's character,

she initially, from your expression, I gather you have not. I've seen most of them. So one of the characters, Liz Lemon's best friend-ish, signs on to a Janis Joplin, uh, biopic. But as the, the episode progresses, it turns out they, they can't get the rights to anything.

Like they can't get the rights to the music or the story or the name. So by the end of it, she's, she's playing a character called Jackie Jomp Jomp. And this kind of feels like this. It doesn't even look like David Bowie. And I like that guy. He's in that British show that I watched. Yeah. I mean, he's kind of feels like this. It doesn't even look like David Bowie. No. And I like that guy. He's in that British show that I watched.

Yeah. I mean, he's kind of a. About STDs and stuff. And he has to track down all these exes or whatever. Yeah, yeah. And he's done. And he's going to be. There's going to be a new version of Ripley, like a TV version.

And it's going to be Andrew Scott as Ripley. Ripley's Believe It or Not. No, like Ripley's game. Ripley from Aliens. Talented Mr. Ripley. I like Talented Mr. Ripley. Yeah, so it's going to be Andrew Scott as Talented Mr. Ripley. And this guy as Dickie. Oh, really? Is the Jude Law character. I like Talented Mr. Ripley. Yeah, so it's going to be Andrew Scott as Talented Mr. Ripley and this guy as Dickie.

Oh, really? He's the Jude Law character. I like that. Yeah. Cool. And he does music for stuff. He did the music for Detectorists and all sorts of stuff. And he was in Emma.

He's been all over the place, this guy. Well, like, Mark Maron's in this as well. Yeah. So, like, there's talent in it. Yeah. But it looks like shit. It really does. It looks like a fake movie.

And it really does. And it looks like, and look, I saw a comment today of like, shit. It really does. It looks like a fake movie. It really does. And it looks like, and look, I saw a comment today of like, well, nobody sets out to make a bad movie, so you shouldn't make fun of it. And I'm like, yeah, but I don't think they set out to make a bad movie. Why would you set out to make this thing that you have none of the rights for? I think they set out to make a cash-in because Rocketman did well and Bohemian Rhapsody did well.

So they're just like, do a cheap cash-in. Yeah, I completely agree. But also, again, it's one of those things of like, why isn't it? Man did well and Bohemian Rhapsody did well. So they're just like do a cheap cash in. Yeah. Just famous name, get in there. But also, again, it's one of those things of like why isn't it David Bowie and he's this ego-driven rock star. And this is supposed to be said in like the point where it was. Transition. Yeah, and it was like he wasn't super famous in the UK and then he comes to the US to do The Man Who Sold the World

and it wasn't that. Like he wasn't particularly a big star and people didn't respond to him well and that's the kind of thing. But I don't want to see that. I don't want to see another one of like, oh, he's this guy and he's just a – And then he goes into the recording studio and they're like, well, wait a minute. Yeah, he's just a sad wallflower and he doesn't believe in himself.

But I want to see like the crazy stuff. And then someone's like, I'm going to show them something that they've never seen before. That's right. But Patrick Williams does that great video on how all these movies are basically war card. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And it's this again.

It absolutely is this. Yeah, but without the music. Yeah. I've written here regarding how this guy looks. Johnny Flynn is his name. He looks like, if you ever watch one of those post-apocalyptic movies and they all like, all the all the mutants in the city, they worship like Elvis but they don't really remember what Elvis looks like or whatever

and they think it's Bruce Campbell or something like that. It's something like the Warriors, like that kind of aesthetic. Yeah, yeah. This movie feels like that but like this is what they think David Bowie looks like but they've just got like a burnt picture of Noel Fielding from The Mighty Boosh and they're like, oh, God, David Bowie. We bow to Bowie. Yeah, you might be right.

I mean you're not right. Because that's not a real thing. That's not a real thing. That's all fantasy, yes. That's definitely how it feels. Anyway, it looks bad. It looks real bad. And Assassin's Creed.

I'm fascinated to see. Look, again, I'm not going to watch this, but I am fascinated. I just want to read the reviews when it comes out just so I know what mechanism they're using so they don't have to play any of his songs. Yeah, absolutely. Like it's just going to be him on stage and he goes to strum and then it cuts to later and there's just screaming girls and he's going into his dressing room.

I reckon they're going to try like knockoff Bowie songs. Oh, they could get – what if they got Flight of the Conchords? That'd be amazing. That would be good. What if they, oh, okay, look, here's what it might be at Saving Grace. What if it's a parody and they don't reveal it? Oh, that would be amazing. What if it's they get, do you remember, I think

I mentioned this a billion times. Well, I don't know. I mentioned this a billion times with the movie, the Paul Rudd, Sean William Scott movie, Role Models. Yeah, yeah. And they keep mentioning this song by Wings and it's not a real song, but then in the end credits you hear their version of the song and it's like a dead on Paul McCartney Wings song.

Get that guy to just do a whole bunch of knock off David Bowie. Exactly. Just get him to do a bunch of knock off David Bowie songs that are poking fun at the whole situation. I'd watch that. Yeah. I mean, it's not that. It's not that. It's absolutely not that. It's just, again, it's a Bohem situation. I'd watch that. Yeah. I mean, it's not that. It's not that. It's absolutely not that.

It's just, again, it's a Bohemian Rhapsody knockoff. Yeah. Anyways, we've probably talked about this too long. But Assassin's Creed? Yes. Give it another crack? Yeah. Yeah, I think it's a good core idea.

Yeah, yeah. Observer mentioned they spoke with Comscore's Paul Dergarbdian. I've said that wrong. But he's got a theory as to why Zack Snyder is being allowed to make this very expensive Snyder card. Because he has some dirt on some WB executives. Exactly. No, no. It says if it doesn't make hard financial or objective financial sense

on its face, then there are subjective motivations and factors at play. They want to be in the Zack Snyder business just like Warners wants to be in the Christopher Nolan business. It's a long-term strategy. So it basically stops him from going to other studios and working with them. Keep him on the books. Keep him on side. He's making your movies.

Okay, sure. Essentially. So what do you think of that? Do you think there could be some truth to that? I guess. But I mean, what's he going to do after this? Just more Desi movies? That's what people were going to do after this? Just more DC movies? That's what people were going to be a big petition for, didn't you know?

Oh. I guess he is, in a sense, he's a guaranteed moneymaker for a certain percentage of the population. I agree. Right? Us. Us too. We love his movies.

I think if you gave him a lower budget, like not the $400 million that's gone into Justice League. Yes. Yeah, he definitely, he's got Paul, definitely. Sure. Yeah. So there you go. I think that's a really interesting theory that I'd imagine there's

probably some validity to. Sure, yeah. Yeah. Spider-Man 3, whatever that's called, is beginning to film. Oh. Just as Uncharted wraps, along with Shang-Chi. It's done. It's in the can.

It was quick. Yeah. No, I think it's been filming for a while and then shut down and then came back. Oh. Yeah. But both those I'm looking forward to. Spider-Man I'm definitely looking forward to because it looks like

it could be a Spider-Verse thing. But I'm very interested in Shang-Chi. Me too. Because it looks like it's going to be very different. I mean, maybe. I mean, there'll be lots of punches and kicks like all the other Marvel movies. Exactly.

But even more so. So I'm all about that. So there you go. Nothing else to say except. Good on them. Good on Hollywood. Onward to stardom, everyone. Like Hollywood and so forth. Deadline are also... Tax time, scariest time of year. Yes, yes,

yes. Michael B. Jordan, according to Deadline, has been offered the chance to star and direct in Creed 3, which would be his first directorial turn. Do you think they'll call it Threed? There's three... And it'll be in 3D. It call it Threed? Threed. Oh, if there's three, if there's two. And it'll be in 3D. It's called Threed and it's in 3D.

It won't be in 3D. James Threed. It'll come straight to streaming because everyone's trapped at home, basically. That's the perfect solution. No one's putting on glasses in their house, basically. Then the punches come right at you. Yeah, that's true.

I remember when 3D came to home televisions and maybe my TV does it now. I have no fucking idea. came to home televisions and maybe my TV does it now. I have no fucking idea. But I had one in like 2012 that had 3D and I played one of the Killzone games in 3D and I did it for like 30 seconds and I went, no, I don't like this. Because the frame rate looks worse, everything looks more jaggedy because you're getting half of the pixels or whatever works.

Okay, but don't you think it's worth it, given that we're not paying for this, just to see an entire audience of people, wait, go 30 seconds into Threed and then just all stand up and go, nope. Yeah, I guess that would be worth it. But the other thing is about this, the Creed logo will be one of the E's is backwards. That's how they do it, really. Yeah, or both.

No, because then it would be Creed 33. Yeah. Maybe he's turning 33, though. Oh, yeah, maybe. On his 33rd birthday, he has to fight Rocky. Maybe it's taking place at the same time as Naked Gun 33 and a third. Oh, okay. That's very good.

So he's having just like a real heart-wrenching situation where he doesn't know if he's strong enough to beat this new boxing. It's O.J. Simpson. He. It's O.J. Simpson. He has to fight O.J. Simpson. And his wife is going deaf or whatever's happening in that. And they've got too many kids and they don't know what's going on. But also, yeah, just Leslie Nielsen's in the background falling face first in a cake or whatever.

Yeah, I'll be doing it. So if it's called Threed, would it be T-H-R-E-E-D? Yeah. And it's in three Ds. Yeah, it's T-H-R-E-E apostrophe D. Yeah. Threed. Threed.

Yes. And he's wearing 3D glasses in the poster that will be made up by the Weekly Planet poster. Yep. An Instagram account. Until he gets sick of it, he'll keep doing this apparently. We don't do this on purpose, by the way. Do you think?

No. I'm just bad with names of things. Same. We used to do this before we did this. We'd just be like, what's that movie? And we'd just name the things that we remember from it. Do you think there'd be a way to get those posters printed or do you think it would be a massive copyright?

We can print them. We could say they're parody or whatever. Yeah. Anyway, I don't know. Wait, are we selling them? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Oh, I see. I don't know. Or people can print them We can say they're parody Or whatever Yeah Anyway I don't know Wait are we selling them? Yeah that's what I'm saying Oh I see I don't know

Or people can print it themselves Whatever Wonder Woman's According Variety Christmas release date I was going to say Xmas But some people don't like that But that's

You know So I'm catering to all Apparently their release date The release date But also DC Don't want it to be Called Xmas They want it They want it to be They want it to be't want it to be called Xmas today. They want it to be called DCmas.

DCmas, that's right. I think DCmas is a very good name. Dave Christmas is what it stands for. Okay, good. They bought the copyright on Jesus. Oh, really? So now it's Dave Christmas. Great.

When's he coming back? Aren't people like, he's coming back soon? Oh, maybe. I hope so. Doesn't that mean it's the end of the world if he comes back? Yeah, but that'd be sick, wouldn't it? Yeah, actually. It's kind of a relief.

And then we get to figure out what kind of apocalypse dudes we are. Do you think he'd appear around the world like the Kim Kardashian's father's hologram and be like, you've been chosen and you've been chosen or whatever, and I'd be like, yes. It's more like Oprah, but yeah. Yeah, whatever. He'd be doing an Oprah, but people would be like, that's a bit of a dated reference, Jesus.

I don't know you've been gone for 2,000 years but you could have picked a book. You could have done a Joe Rogan thing or whatever and go whoa or whatever he does. Do you think that's what he does? Or he goes on the Joe Rogan podcast. That's what he does.

Yes, that's how he announces it. Perfect. Yeah. And then it gets taken off by Spotify accidentally and everybody fucking flips out about free speech or whatever the fuck goes on with that. Anyway, Wonder Woman might be moved, they say, because obviously, because cases in the US, and be careful.

To Deceaster. Probably be rescheduled to Deceaster. Thank you. That's good. Thank you. It's very good. But, yeah, cases in the US are spiking, so be careful, obviously, if you're there. So I think it probably will be moved. Yeah. It's very good. But, yeah, cases in the US are spiking, so be careful obviously if you're there.

So I think it probably will be moved. Yeah. But we'll see. You never know. I was thinking just today. Trump said there's going to be a cure in a matter of weeks. Well, a matter of weeks is only a matter of weeks away, so that's perfect.

And then you administer it in that week. Oh, he's going to do it himself. I assume so. Yeah, yeah, for sure. He's a man of the people. That's true, yeah. I was thinking this week it might be a little bit longer for me to go back to the cinemas even when they reopen them.

Yeah. Because as I've mentioned to you and as the listeners of the podcast probably know, I'm a notorious throat clearer. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'll be in the – there's nothing wrong with me, but I'll be in the cinema just being like – No, everything's fine, guys. I've got a mask on.

Anyway. Yeah, we should see – I'll keep looking to see when Tenet is coming so we can do an episode on it. Yep. Still nothing's going on. Okay, then great. Terrific. But it's still not showing. Yeah, yeah.

What's next, Mason? Dunno. Here we go. We've got Deadliner reporting that filmmaker Mohamed Diab, he's going to help Moonlight. He's an Egyptian filmmaker who's worked on films such as Cairo 678 and Clash. You said Moon Knight, right? What did I say? You said Moonlight, I think. Yeah, Moonlighter.'s an Egyptian filmmaker who's worked on films such as Cairo, 678 and Clash. You said Moon Knight, right? What did I say? You said Moonlight, I think. Yeah, Moonlighter. Okay, right. And it's a

lighter shade. But he means Moon Knight, obviously. The famous Marvel character, Moon Knighter. Moon Knighter, yeah. And Oscar Isaac is apparently in talks to play Mark Spector. I saw that, yeah. That's exciting. Also, David Diggs and Nick Kroll, according to Murphy's Multiverse, are being eyed for roles also. David Diggs, you Kroll, according to Murphy's Multiverse, are being eyed for roles also.

David Diggs, you might know, he was in Hamilton and he was also in the new Snowpiercer. And Nick Kroll, you'll know, is Bobby Bottle Service. Exactly. So I think all of that is great. This is a TV show, by the way. Yes. So Disney are bringing Oscar Isaac back into the fold

and they're like, you've got great hair and you fit the role of Moon Knight. That's right, yeah. And that's cool, I think. So, yeah, it seems like they're really getting these Marvel TV shows into gear because… We're all at home still. All at home still and whatever. It could be for 100 million years.

Yeah. What else have we got? Well, that's only a matter of weeks. Exactly. I've missed a bit of news but I'll come back to it because it's exciting. Not exciting but we get to do that joke that we do. Tomb Raider sequel. I can't wait.

I can't wait to see what James considers our joke. Tomb Raider sequel has been delayed with no release date. Okay. And you mentioned this before the show. Oh, no, it should just be Tomb Raider. Lara Croft explores her apartment. She doesn't have the manor anymore. She just explores the recesses of her apartment where she lives.

Oh, my God, that's so exciting. I was going to say, did you see the trailer for Songbird, the new Michael Bay produced thing? Oh, yeah, we should talk about that. Yeah, it's COVID-23. Yep. And it's evolved to the point and society is everyone's inside and skyping each other.

But it's all right because the US Marines are there. Thank goodness. To come to your house to shoot you or something in this movie? Yeah, thank God they're here. I don't know what's going on in that movie. Nobody wants this. Nope. I cannot stress that enough.

Yep. Nobody fucking wants this. Nope. Maybe in 10 years when we're all dead, then you can put it out. But nobody wants this. Projected on our graves, yes. Are you going to watch this when it comes out? Nope.

Me neither. No, because it'll be 150 minutes long probably. Even if it was like a pandemic and there's zombies or pandemic because aliens or whatever. I watched Love and Monsters recently, pandemic because of monsters and love. I don't want people coughing into each other's faces in the military shooting.

What if it's just throat clearing, James? Is that all right? I'm still not a big fan though. Okay, that's fair enough. And neither is anybody else. I also get from the trailer. I don't even watch the trailer when there are people like, oh, this thing.

I'm like, I don't even want to see this. I get the sense from the trailer there's going to be some weird, like, sermonising about something. Can't wait. I mean, there's two sides to every deadly pandemic, isn't there? Yes, I guess there are. Yep. I mean, some of them are dumber than others.

Yeah. But yes. You mentioned this before the show. Comic Book Resources said that, did you know? Oh, this could really lead into our spin-off podcast where we do clickbait. But yeah, do you know? So you've got Juniso News. I thought this was worthy enough for the regular podcast.

I think there's some validity to it. But also I think that if you enjoy us talking about this, you might enjoy our spin-off podcast. We got this covered on BigSandwich.co. But this is from CBR. Rogue One's Felicity Jones teases Jyn Erso's return. She says there's unfinished business. AKA, I didn't explode.

I buried my head in the sand. Well, that's the thing. She's written here. Well, the article's written here. Okay. Felicity Jones hinted at Jyn Erso's possible return to the galaxy far, far away, either in a sequel or a spinoff. Either?

She hinted sequel or spinoff? Well, it says here. She says. She told THR, the Humdinger Report, which is, I believe, what it stands for. Sure. I just keep saying that reincarnation is totally possible in the Star Wars universe, so I feel there's unfinished business

for Jyn for sure. And here's the thing. I don't think there is reincarnation. I don't think there is either. I mean, you know what? There probably is in like Legends and whatever. And I guess technically there's Snoke and clones. But why would you clone her specifically?

Do you need a piece of data? Like she's got a key bit of data. Oh, she's got a piece of that data tape wedged in her head. That's right. You know when the planet destroying super laser hit her at ground zero and she was totally atomized. Like if

she died, like she was in a spaceship and it got shot and then it spun off into space and you're like, oh, who knows what happened to her? Even like she was in a spaceship and it got shot and then it spun off into space and you're like, oh, who knows what happened to her? Even if she was like a bit further from the explosion. Yeah, like if it was like, well, legend says that she disappeared that day and who knows what. Like the laser came down like on her toes.

She was swallowed by a blinding light. I love that because you see Cassian Andor's eyes like, we've talked about this, like expand in fear just before he's just wiped from existence like that Sarah Connor like flash forward to Judgment Day. And again, just so it says here, I think it would be fascinating to see her getting older and wiser and fighting the dark forces in the universe of which there are many, it seems.

Anyway, I like Felicity Jones in that movie. I would kind of like to see them worm their way out of this just to see what they can do. I know they considered like a carbonite situation at one point. Oh, they trapped in it. There was like ideas to maybe write them out of it, but it was always kind of considered that they'd all be dead. But like we've seen like planets like Alderaan like blow up like a piñata.

Yeah. Nobody's coming back from that. Yeah, but I mean it didn't, to be fair, the planet didn't explode. Oh, wasn't it? It was at like 1% power or something. But the other thing is. I just shoved her to the other, shoved her to the south pole of the planet. Yeah, it's fine.

She was caught in a, I don't know. Laser rip. A laser rip, yes, which is good. It's good. That's right. Yeah, yeah. It makes you stronger than ever. But I'm not a huge fan of like the first half of that movie.

Yeah, right. But then I really like the last half, especially for the space stuff. But I like that character because also I read the prequel book, Catalyst I think it was called, which really kind of fleshed out that world for me. So there's elements of that story that I like more that don't actually exist within that movie. Okay, so how could you bring her back in the Star Wars universe?

You can't. She's fucking atomised. What about she was force sensitive? No, she's not. And then it became a ghost or whatever. A droid runs in and shields her. Yeah, okay. It's just, it's only a bad singeing.

They find her and they. It's a bad singeing. Rogue Two, just a bad singeing. Yeah, so I don't know because technically we only see like light hit her. Okay, right. You know, so maybe she lives. Oh, yeah, okay, right, right, right, right. And she's blind and all her hair's right over her head.

Mate, how about this? We see the light hit the ground and then cuts back to the Death Star thing, the control room, and they're like, oh, I only did the flashlight button. And then it cuts back down and they're like, cheese it! And they both run to a bunker or whatever. Or a spaceship. And then it cuts back and they're like, okay, use the laser now.

And then it goes back to the scene where the planet explodes or whatever. You could definitely do a prequel, which they are with Cassie and Andor. Okay, the remaining major cast, who of these would you like to come back? In sequels? Yeah, whatever. Yeah.

Diego Luna. Yeah, I love him. He's great. He's good. Ben Mendelsohn. Yeah. Again, though, but for him, the laser literally hit him. It did, didn't it?

Yeah. Because he was in the tower. Yeah. And it goes through the tower. Yeah, that's true. But I mean, still. Yeah, still, I guess. The laser wave, as we've mentioned.

Yeah. Donnie Yen. Yeah. Mads Mikkelsen. This is a good cast. It's a great cast. Alan Tudyk. I mean, he's a robot, so Laser Wave, as we've mentioned. Yeah. Donnie Yen. Yeah. Mads Mikkelsen. This is a good cast. It's a great cast. Alan Tudyk. I mean, he's a robot, so he just used to bring it back.

He put his mind in the other one. Remember how he hacks another droid? Yeah, yeah, that's true. Easy fix. Riz Ahmed. Yep, great. Do you see he's in the Drummer's Going Deaf movie? No.

The Drummer's Going Deaf. That's the name. Put it on the poster. But it's called Heavy Metal. I can't remember. It looks really good. Yeah. Sorry, go on. And drummer's going deaf. That's the name. Put it on the poster. But it's called Heavy Metal. I can't remember. It looks really good. Yeah. So I go on.

And Forrest Whitaker. I mean, he's back all the time. He's back all the time, yeah. Yeah, it's a killer cast, man. Yes, all of those guys. Nice. No, they all were atomized or shot or whatever. Yeah, that's true.

The droid you could bring back. Yep. That's the only one that you could kind of ride around. But whatever. But again, you could just invent some stuff. Yeah. That's the only one that you could kind of ride around, but whatever. But again, you could just invent some stuff. Yeah. What is too far, do you think? Too far?

Like what if they were like, listen, we have Star Trek teleporters, we zapped them out at the last second. That would be too far? I think they'd probably be safer to say that they just not really explain it. Just be like it was a whatever percent and it wasn't that bad. It just wasn't that bad. I mean, you know what you could say? You could say that like some kinds of explosions,

if you're at ground zero, it's actually like it's safer at ground zero than it is further out. There is that point in Hiroshima where the actual point of impact is it's all like untouched. But also we see like a giant wave like coming at them. It's a whole thing. Did you know there is one man recorded as having survived both the explosions of Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

Recorded. So he's both times he's like, oh, not again. No, the second time he would do that. Well, he was from Nagasaki and he went to Hiroshima for work and then the bomb went off and then he left and he went do that. Well, he was from Nagasaki. Yeah. And he went to Hiroshima for work. Oh, yeah. And then the bomb went off and then he left and he went back home. How did he get out? I don't know.

He just did. Maybe it's solar wave. Yeah, solar wave. They're good, actually. Yeah, they're good. And then he survived the second one. Yeah. That's fucking incredible.

Right? What are the odds? Slim. Yeah. I'd say probably. Wolverine survived. Oh, yeah, that's true. He did.

I mean, but he's a mutant man. Yeah. I do have this last bit of news. Okay, I'm ready. We were wondering if everyone could chip in and do their part so we could all find some time to die. I fucked it. No, put that on the poster, I reckon, whatever the thing you said.

So I mentioned that. Is there more news about this? Yes, because they're shopping it around. We mentioned last week, but MGM were apparently looking for, this is for no time to die, sorry. This joke's gone well beyond understanding without some explanation. But MGM were looking for, we talked about last week how Netflix and Apple were shopping around.

And then MGM were like, no, actually, we're preserving the theatrical experience because they couldn't sell it. But they were looking for $65 million to $70 million, even $800 million price tag for this movie. Wait, explain that again? That's what they want for it. $800 million. $800 million.

And people were offering how much? Well, Apple were the only one who was seriously considering and they offered them between $350 to $400 million, which Apple could do. That's nothing to them. That's peanuts. Apple could buy Disney like a million times over. Well, why don't you, Apple?

Yeah, Apple, you cowards. But 800 is too much, obviously. But if it went to cinemas and it made like a billion, they wouldn't make $800 million because, you know, things get whittled away. I think a bloody snack bar would. No, you're not wrong. Well, that's what I'm talking about though,

like cinemas take a cut and whatever else takes a cut. I don't know in front of me how that works. But the other thing is I think you – $800 million? Well, one medium popcorn, thank you. Very good. Very expensive popcorn. It might be a better idea though to look at like a $400 million price tag

for this. Oh, we're giving advice to everyone here now. No, I'm just saying like depending on what happens. Yeah, right. You know? Because if they could put this out and it doesn't make that money and they've lost this opportunity, then again, they could just put it to streaming anyway.

But I don't know. Some enterprising intern at MGM could just leak it on the internet for us. We could watch it for nothing. We'd love that, actually. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We could do that. Go fund me, though. There's a go fund me, which I think you alerted me to.

Oh, that's right. Where somebody wants to buy the rights. Yeah. Their goal is like $60 million or something. I think it's more to, let me bring it up. 60 million pounds? No, it's way more than that. 600 million pounds.

Let me check this out. I did look at that. $20. Here we go. This is from five days ago. Oh, yes. So what they want is 607 million pounds. Okay.

Which is too much. Yes. And at the moment they have 740 pounds. Oh. Oh. Well. So it's not enough. This is a real reverse remake The Last Jedi situation. Nobody's willing to pay this.

Yeah. So the name of this is Born to Save Christmas. Who gets this though? What do you mean? Who gets the money? What are they going to do with it? I don't know. I'm just having a look here.

What do you get for your, like let's say I put in 50 pounds sterling. Yes. 50 of the Queen's finest doshes. Oh my here. What do you get for your, like let's say I put in 50 pounds sterling. Yes. 50 of the Queen's finest doshes. Oh, my goodness. What do I get? Do I get my name in the credits? Do I get my name as a background character? Wow.

Like do they have to film an additional scene where Bond goes to some sort of corporate retreat and there's a bunch of characters who have like hello, my name is stickers on them and my name is on the sticker and then Bond shoots me. I mean it's entirely possible. All of those things you're talking about are very realistic. Does everybody get a personal video call from Daniel Craig? Would he do it?

No, but he has to. That's the thing. But he has to. Yeah, that would be great. It's just him. He's like, he's finally put Bond behind him. He's done. He's put in the hard yards for more than a decade at this point

and he sits down and then he suddenly starts getting these Skype calls from all around the world and he's like, hello, and they're like, hello, Daniel, I'm here to get my video greeting from you, Daniel. He's like, fine, but I'm doing him in portrait. Yeah. There's a Bond Save Christmas Twitter handle. Okay. I don't begrudge this either.

Go for it, man. You can do it. It's not going to work. No, it's not. It says there's an actual. Imagine the precedent if it did. It would really. Imagine the precedent if it did.

I don't think this is a hot enough property to do this. I think you could definitely get. Marvel maybe, but I wouldn't donate to that. Even if it was something I really wanted to see. Because also, I don't know this guy. I don't know whether he's just going to steal 607 million pounds. And if he, oh my God, what if he did? What a king move.

I mean, to be fair though, he's going to take like 30 off me. 30 million? No, just 30 pounds. Oh, yeah, that's true. But no, so yeah, they've pinned on their Twitter page, no money to burn, how Bond crowdfunder could be the way forward. Yeah. If we pay enough money, we buy the rights,

and then we get them to change James Bond's name to James Broccoli in honour of the producing team's family name, Broccoli. They'd love it too. They would love it. They'd be like, why didn't we think of this? Yeah, that's a good point. Have your money back. What about Broccoli Bond?

I don't mind that either. And you make it like a kid's show. It's like James Bond Jr. except they're all fruit or whatever. Yeah, I love it. But he's not a broccoli. He's a carrot. It's just a family name. He's adopted. He's adopted.

Because of the avalanche or whatever. Maybe his brother's a a family name. He's adopted. He's adopted. Because of the avalanche or whatever. Maybe he's brothers of broccoli. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or whatever. Or he's just a human man hunting fruit. And his name's James Broccoli or Broccoli Bond or whatever you said. Yeah, whatever. Yeah, that's all something, isn't it?

I think it is. Yep. It's certainly a segment on this podcast. It's certainly no worse than anything else we've said on this. That came about because I'm like, would they rename Pinewood Studios after me? I'm not sure. If I put in 20 pounds, Macewood Studios.

Maybe they would. I like that. It's good. FX's The Veil explores the surprising and fraught relationship between two women who play a deadly game of truth and lies on the road from Istanbul to Paris and London.

I mean, why would we do any more after this? We've peaked. We've peaked. Let's talk about The Mandalorian. Okay. Loved it. Spoilers? Yes.

I think so. Like, I mean, if you're a fan of The Mandalorian, if you've never seen The Mandalorian, get the free trial on Disney Plus and watch the whole season and then episode one of season two. Exactly. And you're set, I think. You've got a week from right now.

Totally, you do. I think, and there were some episodes that I really enjoyed from last season. Also, just side note, as soon as I started Disney Plus on my TV, I had to update the app because it's been so long since I used it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It took me like an hour to get it to work. Okay, great. I mean, I didn't sit there for an hour because I was doing other things and whatever.

He sat there for an hour, folks. I sat there for an hour. I can't. I literally cannot sit anywhere for an hour. This is like a break for me. Doing this is like a break. Doing this job. Yes.

Doing this just, it's like you're a man like pulling that big stone wheel somehow on a rope and it's turning a thing in a well in olden times and you're like, oh, this is such a break for me. feels good i get that like you know because people who go to work when they have kids and they stay that torture wheel and cone in the barbary but you know people go to go to work and they enjoy it you know because it's like a break no i don't know about that you know what i'm talking about i do i because i remember like you go to like a staff meeting this is what i was when I was a teacher. And the meeting ends and there's people like asking questions.

It's like you just want to hang around because you hate your kids. But now that's me, I guess. No, I love my kids. But it's literally like other than you, there is nobody like interrupting me. That's true. No one's calling me or I don't check it really. Do you know what I mean? So, yeah, this is like a break.

I have. I can focus on one thing. I don't go to that many meetings in my actual job, but occasionally they'll do like a, you go into town and you do like a training situation and you're all in a boardroom or whatever and there's just a bunch of old dudes who are just like, they just want to tell stories. This is my moment.

And you're just like, guys, we all just shush. Yeah. We'll get to go home after lunch. We're out of here. But if you just, and they're like, what else? And then some guys just like, well, back in 1965. Actually, I know it's like this, but let me tell an irrelevant story from the past, if you could.

Yeah, teaching's like big on that. I bet. And it's like everybody's like, well, I actually have something to say. And I just want to be like, you know what? Not everyone has to say something. That's true, yeah. We can all be quiet. Yeah.

We can all leave. Yeah. Just let us leave. Just let us leave. How about this? You keep telling your story and I'll leave. Yeah. I'll just leave.

Yeah, exactly. Mature age students as well at uni. I wonder though if I went back to uni which i never would yeah maybe something turns over and that's what i'm saying maybe it would maybe i'm like actually i'm here to for an education i'm gonna hold up everybody yeah maybe in future i'll be like well back in my day people would always tell long boring stories at this meeting but i'm i remember thinking to myself i'll never become that guy i remember it was a beautiful sunny day and I came in here and I always thought, you know, because the switch has flipped.

The switch has flipped. You're different. You're different. Anyway, Mandalorian. Yes. One of my favourite episodes from last season was the Bilbo get on a ship and kill a bunch of droids. I think that might have been my favourite.

This might be my favourite now. There you go. Strong, strong start. Because when it came back, I wasn't like, yay, it's back. Can't wait. I was kind of like, yeah, I like some of those more than others. I watched it today. Yeah.

But I loved it. And also, I made that tweet about Tatooine. We got in a bit of a bloody tiff, mate. How I said it's a dog shit planet for idiots. I didn't mean in terms of like them using that in this story. I just meant it's a fucking horrible place. Oh, yeah, sure. Just in general.

In a world where there is the technology to travel to any other world. Yeah. I mean, obviously they're marooned there and whatever. I don't know, but just join the Empire or whatever. No, they're gone. They're dead star exploded. Join the weird mechanics league or whatever those guys are. Yes, join the weird mechanics league.

But I think it was an excellent use of tattooing because I'm like, I don't want to go make a tattoo. I've seen the bar and I've seen the speeders and I've seen the sand people. Yeah, right. But this was all great. And it's just there's a certain vibe to it where it doesn't all, like it doesn't necessarily all look flawless. Yeah.

But there's a certain. That one-eyed Cyclops man at the start. John Leguizamo. Yes. John Leguizamo. Yes, John Leguizamo. But there's like, there's a moment I think where you see the Mandalorian get off his speeder bike. Yeah. And it doesn't feel 100% right, but at the same time,

it feels 100% right for Star Wars. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I'm like, they don't have to get it perfect. No. It's okay that it might look like there's some mirrors under a regular motorbike or whatever and they're just reflecting the sand. Yeah. It just looks just a good vibe.

Yeah, that's what they did. I think they did do that. They nailed the vibe. I agree. I also think there's a few scenes in this and it was more the opening when, again, spoilers, where he's trying to find other Mandalorians. Oh, that also another thing where they're just like, you know what, the thing that felt most like a 1970s Star Wars anything

is the moment right at the start where they go to like an underground battle thing. Gamorrean guards, man. That's right. And it's just like, it's just a regular boxing ring. It's got some ropes and stuff on it. They're just like, we had a gym. We rented a gym for an afternoon.

We just chucked everybody in there. But it also felt leading up to that where he's walking, where being aware of that technology, I'm like, oh, they've clearly just shot this against. I felt like to me it felt initially that the scale had been pulled back because I knew that trick. So I see him walking towards down a path and I know that path's going to end about a foot from where.

Yeah, right. But then when they get to Tatooine, they've made it so the scale of it feels bigger, I feel. This trick, which I only just found out about at the end of last season. Yeah, right. They've found ways to kind of. The trick specifically for people who don't know this,

they're filming this in a room essentially, a fairly big, like a warehouse that's got like LCD screens around it, right? And on the roof for lighting references. And on the roof, and that's projecting the- And they'll put in like a bar and sand on the floor or whatever. And so they're projecting the environment on it so people don't have to act to a blue screen. And also when you move the camera, the environment shifts so it looks 3D to the camera.

So I thought now that I know this trick, it's going to feel more like this set. Yeah, right. But it didn't. From when they got a Tatooine in particular, to feel more like this set. Yeah, right. But it didn't. From when they got a Tatooine in particular, it just felt like expansive environments. Yeah. And obviously because they're pulling back and they're doing big CGI shots of everything and whatever.

But I love Timothy Oliphant. I love how the Boba Fett armor, as we suspected, does not fit in fucking at all. It's too small for him. He's too tall for it. Yeah. I think we mentioned that on a video where I think we did something about Star Wars characters that might come back or something like that.

And we're like, yeah, it's not going to be too – it is too small for him. It's like 6'1". Yeah. Like he's not wearing the full Boba Fett suit. He's just wearing like bits and his regular clothes. It's mostly it. Yeah, yeah. But, yeah, I'd never noticed the piping down to the glove.

Oh, yeah, right. I actually went back and looked at it and I'm like, oh, yeah, that is a thing. Yeah, yeah. But, yeah, I'd never noticed the piping down to the glove. Oh, yeah, right. I actually went back and looked at it and I'm like, oh, yeah, that is a thing. Yeah, right. That dude, though, he's killing it, mate. He was great. Yeah. I really enjoyed him. I love his hair and beard situation.

Yeah, good stuff, right? I love it at all. Yeah, he's great. I think it's terrific. Good work, Timothy Olyphant. Yeah, very handsome man. Yeah. Also, you know he's a main character in Star Wars because he's much more handsome than literally everybody else.

That's true, yeah. He doesn't have any weeping boils on his face. Yeah, that's it. I mean, he could be dead by the end of the episode, but in this instance, again, spoilers, he's not. He's not. He's going to be part of whatever team that is I think he'll give him back the armor.

It's like a... Do you think that's Beskar armour? Because it's bulletproof. You see him get shot at one point. I don't know. It's tough to say. Also, I'd never thought about this before, but Boba Fett's armour belies the idea that people in the Star Wars universe

can't read because it's got a little digital readout with numbers and letters and stuff on it. I don't know. Maybe it's a previous generation's armour and that's why it looks like that. Maybe it's before Beskar was a thing. No, I think Beskar was always kind of a thing. But isn't the Mandalorian's armor initially not Beskar? I don't.

And he gets it? Well, we've got a video coming up this week on the Bounty Hunter video game where he plays Jango Fett. And in canon, he stole that armour. They think. The Mandalorians are like, he's not one of us. He stole it. Oh, I see.

Right, right, right. But I don't know whether it's ever said. Most of the armour is Beskar. But what I'm saying is in the previous season, didn't the Mandalorians start with non-Beskar armour? Oh, yeah, he had regular armour. He had shift. Yeah, and then they built the new suit for him, right?

So I'm saying that maybe this version is from before making Beskar. Or maybe he just had the- But it is bulletproof, though, is what I'm saying. Yeah. Like it doesn't get damaged. Like the paint comes off it, but it doesn't. Yeah, right, right, right. Then again, it's got a ding in it.

It does have a ding in it. Yeah. Also, we finally get to see one of those rockets being fired. Pretty good, right? Oh, no, we see it in episode two. I wasn't watching. But it wasn't as good. I also like how he has to bow down like he's meeting the queen

to shoot the rocket. That'd be pretty good if you needed to assassinate the queen. Oh, mate. You'd never see it coming. It'd kill you and her, but you'd get the job done. That's right. Yeah, he's firing a few of those. But I also get the sense that they,

because me and my brother were talking about this, the one that you don't like. Go on. Is Boba Fett famous in the galaxy? And I feel like he is because when he turns up, there's that moment of recognition. He kills a few and then the rest of them run, presumably because they think they know who he is.

What's his character's name? His name is? Cobb Vanth? Yeah, something like that. Cobb Vanth. Cobb Vanth. Okay. Yeah.

But I think, yeah, because if you saw a guy wearing that, you'd just be like that's probably Boba Fett because there's a hundred billion people in the galaxy. I don't know how many. Or maybe, I think maybe. You would have seen him before. But they'd know Mandalorians maybe. So maybe they just didn't.

But there's not that many of them, remember? Yeah, good point. Because he's like it's just me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's true. Anyway, I liked how they toned down the baby Yoda stuff. You don't need to get into that every week. That's true.

He's just around, yeah. He's just around. But, I mean, that Krayt dragon, which sometimes has legs in other versions, is like an actual, like, scuttering dragon. Maybe they're mutants and some have legs and stuff like that. Anyway, it's a big Tremors alien thing. Yep, that's a big sandworm situation.

Cool. I thought initially at the start of the episode it was going to be Sarlacc. Move and Sarlacc. Move and Sarlacc, yeah. They have been, when they're little they can move, I think. Yeah, that whole team up with the sand people and getting together to make that happen was awesome. That's true. And they're jetpacking about. They're jetpacking about. And there's lots of little references. There's that moment where Timothy Olsen's like it's going to be great. I don't know if you've ever seen that Steven Spielberg, George Lucas conversation.

No. It's in the episode one documentary. They're like, it's going to be great. It's going to be great. I don't know if you've ever seen that Steven Spielberg, George Lucas conversation. No. It's in the episode one documentary. They're like, it's going to be great. It's going to be great. It's going to be great. And they're just like saying it to each other. But, yeah, I think you're right. I think that the Mandalorian is going to put that armour in his ship and then later he's going to bring the team together.

I need you. And he's going to be like, well, you can have the armour back because it's not about the armour. It's about your midriff. Unless Boba Fett something.. Unless Boba Fett something. Oh, Boba Fett something. Should we talk about Boba Fett? I would, but there's no reason to.

That's true. No, he's back though, isn't he? But he's back probably, and maybe he got all his hair melted off by acid. Now, we were talking about this pre-recording this episode. Yeah. We wondered whether if it's because it's Temuera Morrison, so it's either definitively Boba Fett or it's Captain Rex,

but why would it be? I don't think it is. No, because I'm saying that the general audience knows Boba Fett. If you're going into this, you may have probably not seen The Clone Wars or any of that stuff, but you definitely remember Temuera Morrison in the movies and Boba Fett in other things. Exactly. Yeah.

Maybe it's Jango Fett. Could be. He's in a robot body. No, he's- Dead? He died, remember? He died, yeah. But then again, maybe he survived that explosion.

That's right. I don't know. Maybe he was on a- Maybe he survived- The explosion of his head leaving his body, that is. His head was on a lightsaber wave. Savest place to be. Yeah, I mean, it looks

like... Landed in the arms of a buxom nurse. Saved his life, put him in a robot body. Do you think the no hair eyebrows thing is from the Sarlacc? Yeah, the acid did it. I didn't notice he had no eyebrows. Maybe he did, but it seemed to me like

yeah, he didn't. Yeah, what is he still doing there? Because it's been like five years. Maybe he has sarlacc lice so he had to shave it off. Good, that happens. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Also, we've done a Boba Fett comic before in It's a Caravan of Garbage where he comes back, they find him and then he ends up back in the sand.

Oh, yeah, that's true. Oh, no, back to the status quo for me. It's a shame this wasn't canonical. But it's like what is he doing? That's true because presumably if he is as skilled as all the expanded universe media tells us and therefore more skilled than he's been in the movies, if he wanted to get off that darn rock that he's tattooing,

he would have done it by now. He could have done it, yeah. So why is he still there? Does he want the armour back? If so, why would he get it from Corb? Why would he get it from Corb Fan? He could have figured that out. Because he bought that armor like around the time that the Death Star blew up.

Yeah, right. So he's probably been doing that for five years. But then again, it's this town that nobody knows about. Yeah. So maybe he didn't know he was there. I mean, well, that's true. I mean, maybe he was on Tatooine. He encountered the Mandalorian.

Yeah. And then he followed the Mandalorian to Cor Vanthoff. Yeah. And then he could be dressed as a, he could be like disguised as a sand person as well. And he's got another suit of armor that's even cooler. It's got double rocket launchers on the back. Wow. He could kill two queens at once.

He'd kill himself. He would. I'm saying just conceivably he could. One's pointing up and one's pointing down. And he just fires them at once. He'd kill himself. He would. I'm saying just conceivably he could. One's pointing up and one's pointing down. He just fires them at once. Well, they're both pointing down. Yeah. One's pointing out and one's pointing directly at his head.

Yeah, exactly. No, one's on his front and it's just right under his chin. Yep. That's right. And he does a lot of threats like, well, you could, but I could kill us both right now. And they're like, go ahead then. Why would I? Yeah, good stuff. could, but I could kill us both right now. And they're like, go ahead then. Why would I?

Yeah, good stuff. Yeah. But I loved it. I loved the callbacks. It might be Anakin's pod racer engine. Oh, the cop van. Could be. It's being modified.

That also might be Anakin's speeder that he uses in episode two. Or it could be just another model of speeder. Could be another model of speeder. Do you ever see a car drive past and you're like, is that my car? It's like, no, it's just the same model of speeder. Could be another model of speeder. Do you ever see a car drive past and you're like, is that my car? It's like, no, it's just the same model of cars as you, James. I know, but the speeders are pretty personalised is what I'm saying. I'm not saying it is. They're like hot rods in the 50s.

Yeah, yeah. And also he sets off the jetpack like that's how Boba Fett dies. Yeah, right. He sets it off. But just the two of them jetpacking around and working together, I'm like, this is rad, man. I'm loving this.

It felt like Jaws. Like it had that kind of vibe to it, you know? Well, yeah, but it started out as kind of a Western and it's like, how's this going to roll out? And it was not like, because I remember the first episode last time was like 38 minutes or something. And this was like 54 minutes and it felt like a real arc. And I know it's like a side story and it probably doesn't matter.

It probably does later because Boba Fett's back and whatever and he meets people. But it felt like a really cool bottle episode. Like I could have seen this like outside of any of the other seasons and I think I would have enjoyed it just as much. Yes. I mean I would have had questions to be sure. That's true.

But it mostly would have been eyebrow related. Yeah. It's great. A great start. Get into it, I say. I it mostly would have been eyebrow related. Yeah. It's great. A great start. Get into it, I say. I think they're all about this length. Nice. The episodes, yeah.

Yeah, it's good. Amy Sedaris, I'm like. Oh, you can take her all over? I love her. I think she's great. But it feels like, oh, what are you doing back in these parts? It just feels like the dialogue is back. It just doesn't feel like it works.

Yeah, I get you. But it's Star Wars. It's all a bit much, isn't it? It's all a bit much, isn't it? You're absolutely right. And, of course. Would you have rather replaced her with Werner Herzog? He's there instead?

No, I wouldn't replace her. Okay, yeah. He's taken a whole different direction. He's Werner Herzog-ing it, isn't he? Yeah, he really is, yeah. How does he choose his roles is my question. I don't know if he does. How does he, I mean, presumably, maybe he's friends with Jon Favreau

and Favreau was like, do you want to be in this? And he's like, yes. Maybe he's not. We don't know. Maybe he's just there and he refused to leave. He was just there, yeah. I'm going to read this, I guess, yeah. Now, Mason, we're talking The Mandalorian,

and this leads very snugly into our topic for this week, which is weirdest and worst, more weird than worst. Okay. There's some bad ones in here. Star Wars characters. I say The Mandalorian because we, again, get the appearance of R5-D4. Okay, so he's not just an R5 droid. He's the R5-D4.

Because you can see he's even got the hole in his head where it exploded. Oh, so he's the – Oh, we're going to go through some Star Wars characters. Okay, so he's not just an R5 droid. He's the R5-D4. Because he's even got the hole in his head where it exploded. Oh, so he's the... Oh, we're going to go through some Star Wars characters. Okay, great. So to refresh my memory, R5-D4 is the droid that Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru were going to buy before his head exploded. Yep. And then instead they bought R2-D2,

which sets off the events of the original trilogy. Correct. But R5-D4 in an Expand expanded universe book, I think, was Force sensitive and he knew that R2-D2 had to end up with... Yes. He got a vision of the future. Yeah, Uncle El and Aunt Beru, and so he blew himself up, right? Yes.

He committed droid suicide. It's a non-canonical story where he is a droid with the Force and I think Obi-Wan can sense him and other things going on and he knows that there's big things at play, greater things than himself, and he explodes. I think it was also a non-canonical story in Legends as well. Okay, right. But then the comic concludes because it's just like an eight-page thing. Yeah.

It concludes, this is over and I wasted your time. No, he's a blue droid ghost. Oh, my goodness. But if you want to know, he's called Skippy. That was his non-canonical name. Okay. But if you want to know the version now that what exists, there's a book called.

So this guy has two origins. Yeah. This one droid has two origins. Okay. There's a book called From a Certain Point of View, and there's a new one coming out for Empire, but essentially it tells the story of a new hope from all minor characters' points of view.

And it goes like... The guy that gets his hand lopped off? Maybe. The devil. We can talk about the devil. Okay, great. Later. But, or now.

He's the devil. He's a really horrible man, and he eventually gets come up, and so I think he gets murdered or something. Okay, so he's a devilish kind of guy. Yeah. He's not a misunderstood kind of guy. No, or now. He's the devil. He's a really horrible man and he eventually gets come up and I think he gets murdered or something. Okay, so he's a devilish kind of guy. Yeah. He's not a misunderstood kind of guy. No, he sucks. Oh, that's a shame.

So this book, so it tells the events of Star Wars from minor perspectives, but it tells it in order. Okay. So it's like Obi-Wan has a little meeting with Qui-Gon before the story kind of begins. Okay. Ghost Qui-Gon. Yeah, they have a dalliance, et cetera,

and it just goes through different characters. But he gets one and essentially R2's like, I need to be selected by this family for this mission. I can't stay on this Jawa sand crawler because I have important documents. Okay. Kill yourself. Okay. And he does.

Wow. So he talks him into it. He talks another droid into yourself. Okay. And he does. Wow. So he talks him into it. He talks another droid into suicide. Wow. So that's the canonical story. I think R2-D2 might be worse than the devil, if I'm honest with you. But he comes back, doesn't he? I guess he does, yeah. Yeah.

But they're all like, this guy sucks. Even though he made a massive sacrifice for them. He essentially saved the galaxy. He did, it's true. This guy. I guess every minor character in that book saved the galaxy in some way. That's right. Or tried to ruin it.

Porkins, is he going to look in? I haven't read the whole thing, but maybe. Do you want to talk about Porkins, though? Maybe. There's some fascinating stories behind Jack Porkins. Mostly behind the scenes stuff. No, mostly his first name. Yeah, that's true.

I know in Legends he's got like a maneuver that he's famous for. The Porkins maneuver. The Porkins maneuver. The pulled Porkins. The pulled Porkins roll. That's very good. Didn't save him though, did it? Is he dead?

I can't remember. He exploded. No, they all died, most of them, except for Wedge. Maybe some others. But, yeah, just Porkins rolls into the side of the Death Star, just straight into it. Normally I don't care what happens to these episodes, but if this one goes, I just want to know that pulled Porkins roll is saved.

Okay, good. So it says because of his rotund physique, Porkins was playfully named Piggy and Bally Runner. There's also a fun little vacation comic with him and Biggs, which is canonical. physique. Porkins was playfully named Piggy and Ballyrunner. There's also a fun little vacation comic with him and Biggs. Which is canonical. Porkins goes tropical. Yeah, that's exactly what it is. They go to a beach and they have a fun beach vacation.

But the actor... Would you watch Darklighter and Porkins private detectives? Definitely, Mason. They're on Tatooine. Yeah, whatever. Okay, good. It doesn't matter. All right.

It's mostly the sand people. They're like, it's the sand. Actually, Piggy and Darklighter is a better name. It is, isn't it? Yeah. So William Houtkins, who plays him. Excuse me? That's the name of the guy.

Houtkins plays Sportkins. Yeah, he's in Batman 89. Oh, yeah. He's also in Raiders. You see the corrupt cop? Yeah, he's one Batman 89. Oh, yeah. He's also in Raiders. You see the corrupt cop? Yeah, he's one of them. And he's standing behind Billy Dee Williams at one point maybe. I can't remember.

But he's definitely in it. I can picture him in a 1930s-esque fedora or whatever. But he was originally considered as the stand-in for Jabba the Hutt because, of course, there is that deleted scene where Han speaks as Jabba. He ended up passing on that role. Somebody came back to play one of the rebel pilots and he thought that his role would involve heavy makeup

and they'd dress him up like a pig because of the name. And he spoke to George Lucas about that and he's like, is he called Porkins? Is he like a pig man? And George Lucas was like, no. Just a regular man. His name is Porkins and you are Porkins. And then the rebel pilot uniform that he was in, there was only one

size, so they had to split the back of the costume so he'd fit in it properly. Oh dear. And it says, slightly exposing his Mr. Natural t-shirt underneath. Okay. In the 1960s comic strip, which I'd never heard of. But also Hütgens initially thought the actors

playing the Death Star crew members had better roles, but would later consider himself lucky to play one of the film's most iconic heroes, which I would 100% agree with. Because who do you remember? Like the Death Star guys in the helmets? They were all like completely interchangeable. Exactly, that's right. But this guy, he's like one of the few rebel pilots that you actually remember.

Stay on target. Yeah. Stay on target. You know what I mean? Yes. He stands out, and I think that's awesome. And he stays on target. He does, until he explodes. He does the Porkins role? Yes. He stands out and I think that's awesome. And he stays on target. He does until he explodes.

He does the Porkins roll and explodes. But pull Porkins roll, sorry. Just pull the Porkins roll. There you go. Do you have any or can I just go? No, just keep going. Okay. You've met with Elan Sleazebagano.

I've heard the name but I can't remember where he comes from. Okay. He's the guy who tries to sell Obi-Wan death sticks. He's a drug dealer in episode two. There we go. That's what it is. There's not much on him. Yes.

But we do know that in the Imperial era. That's pretty rare that there's no rich backstory for any minor character. Sleaze Bogano, now with a child of his own, passed by a conversation between Leia Organa and Forza on Coruscant. So I guess he did go home and reassess his life, or he's a drug dealer

and he has a child. Yeah, right. Both could be true. But the Wikipedia is very short, and it's just like, he's weak willed, and then he went home and he thought about his actions because he was just going bar to bar selling cigarettes. And he's changed his name to Upstanding Citizeniano. Yes, that's right. That's pretty good. Now we've talked about Lobos. And he's changed his name to Upstanding Citizeniano. Yes, that's right.

That's pretty good. Now we've talked about Lobos. Oh, yeah. Do you need to know any more about Lobos? He's got robot things in his brain and then they got into his brain and now he's a robot man. They overtake him and now he's a robot man. Yeah, exactly. Don't forget that.

Don't worry about it. What about this? Did you know Major Bryn Derlyn, who you might not know, but he's in Empire Strikes Back, but it's John Ratzenberg from Cheers. Oh, right. He's in Empire Strikes Back. I don't really have any facts about that. I just think it's amazing that he's-

What's his character's name again? Major Bren Durlan. And he's in the Empire? Yeah, he's on Hoth and he's like, we've got to do a thing or whatever, and he's got his big moustache. Do you think when he goes into the facility, people are like, Bren Durlan! Nobody gets that reference anymore, Mason.

And then he sits down in his regular spot at the bar. Yeah, that's right. Of the Emperor's something. Yes. This thing. Used up all your juice on. Cheers. All Pork and Rolls, yes.

Absolutely. There's a Cheers franchise inside the Death Star. Now, you're probably not going to be, I'm flying through these, you okay with that? Yes. You're probably not going to be surprised by this but my brother, the one you don't like, had a number of suggestions Of course he did

And I bet they're all uninteresting No, they're some good ones, man I think most of them have made it in This is Mount Sorrow It's from a 1980s Ewok comic So this was a mountain on the forest moat of Endor and I'd invite you to Google it to see a picture.

What's it called again, sorry? Mount Sorrow. Just type in Mount Sorrow Star Wars. The tip of the mountain was in fact sentient and had the power to both blow people off the summit or cry tears of healing. Wow. So if you have a look, it's a big cartoon crying mountain. It is a big cartoon crying mountain. It is a big cartoon crying mountain.

It is. It's true. He's saying, why do you seek my tears to an Ewok? And the Ewok's like, whoa. Healing, obviously. That's why we're here. Or the other thing. I want to be blown off the mountain, please.

That's right. Legends fact number 15, it says here. This is in Google Image Search. Mount Sorrow was a clinically depressed mountain who cries healing tears. First appearing in the seventh issue of the Ewoks comic in 1986, the world at large was content to forget about Mount Sorrow until its entry in 2008's Complete

Star Wars Encyclopedia. There you go. And then for another 12 years until this podcast right now. Thank you, my brother. Right, Mason? Thanks to him. We'll see how the rest of them go. Okay, yeah. This is my favourite fact And it's nothing we haven't learnt already But it's just something somebody put in on the Wikipedia

Despite being a mountain Sorrow was in constant state of depression Yep So you know Wow There you go Wow God Star Wars is weird isn't it

Yeah Do you want to talk about Kit Fisto Of course I want to talk about Kit Fisto. Even if it's briefly. Yeah. Kit Fisto, for those who don't know, he's like a fish man. He's got fish tentacles. If you've seen the Clone Wars animated series from 2003,

he's got a great episode where he does some underwater fighting. He's basically Aquaman. People will recognise him from the big Jedi fight in the fighting arena in Episode 2, right? Yes, that's right. And he is the third Jedi to be killed by Palpatine in that duel. Is he wildly buff in something? He's wild like he's-

Yeah, underwater he's wildly buff. You mostly see him in robes. Yeah. But he kills- Palpatine immediately kills two others. Yep. And then Kit Fisto survives a few more seconds and then it's down to him and Mace Windu. Right. Which is crazy because according to all the Wikipedia sources,

he was regarded by fellow Jedi Master Mace Windu as one of the greatest lightsaber duelists in the Jedi Council. Yeah, okay. Well, Emperor Palpatine was better, all right? Yeah, that's right. It also says lethal underwater as well as land. But if we had to guess, he's probably better shirtless underwater than he is in a big heavy robe.

Yep. Having a screaming Sith lunging at him. I mean, you know, is a fish better at swimming in the water or you put a trench coat on it and have it flap around in a hotel foyer? You know what I mean? That's very true. In Legends, and a lot of these are from Legends, IG-88, there's a bunch of them.

There's like A, B, C, D and various other incarnations that he makes. But IG-88, I think they make him as an assassin droid. Right. One of them goes rogue, kills everybody there, and then copies himself into the four other bodies. Okay, sure. And they're made of like Durasteel and they're ind into the four other bodies. Okay, sure. And they're made of like Durasteel and they're indestructible and they're super smart and whatever.

So there's basically in the time of this is in, and a lot of these are taken from these books, from like Tales from Mos Eisley's Cantina, Tales from Bounty Hunters. Yeah, yeah, right, right. Yeah, yeah. They're out in the universe doing different things and you see, if you read that story, they show up in different versions. So one shows up in Shadows of the Empire. Oh, I see, right. Bob that story, they show up in different versions. So one shows up in Shadows of the Empire.

Oh, I see. Boba Fett blows him up in his ship. Do they acknowledge they are separate ones in those books? I don't know if they do that. Or does one just blow up and then you see another one in the next version? I think that's it. I think you only see the one in the comic. But there's also one that you see.

Also, he's a. It all just ends with, and then Boba Fett destroyed him with a blaster. But you could see IG-8 had an expression on his face that was like, I've got a secret. There's more than one of me. Bear in mind that a lot of this is off the top of my head. Yeah. But one of them is destroyed and seen in The Empire Strikes Back

in that ignored chamber. Right, okay. So one dies there. One of them is also, though, is like part of the drinks machine on Tatooine because they're recycling parts. Oh, I see, right. He's a broom. He's not.

Yeah, right. You only saw one of these movies. Oh, of course it is, yeah, because they recycle the props for the actual movie. He's not an actual character. Yeah, right, right. What can we make? Because I wanted to pick one of the bounty hunters from that scene

because he's really the one that stands out for some reason. Or maybe Bosk as well, but he's the one that people really remember for some reason. It's because you couldn't conceivably fit a human being in him. Yeah, that's right. So you're like, what's he going to do, I think, when that room opens? You're like, is he going to move? Yeah.

Because that won't look good. No, and he didn't. They only managed to do it recently. But the last one of him, also he decided to infiltrate the Empire. He made a robot stormtrooper army that infiltrated and then one of his last acts was getting inside the Death Star. The original or the second one? The second one, right, yeah.

And he was doing things like messing with the Emperor. So like the Emperor goes to open a door and he'll just like slam it shut and see what he does. And the Emperor like uses the force to open it and IG-88 who doesn't kind of know what that is is like what is this? Like this is interesting, this old weird old man. What's going on here? Anyway, the book ends with him like –

A couple of real odd couple of those two. Yeah, that's right. Anyway, they don't know he's in the system but he's in the Death Star. He can control the Death Star and he's loving it and he's like by my calculations this battle will be over soon and blah, blah, blah and he's loving it. He's like, by my calculations, this battle will be over soon and blah, blah, blah. And he explodes because the Death Star explodes

and he's in the Death Star. But that's Legends. It's different. Pod Racers, Mason. There's a bunch of them. I just got a name here. It's Dud Bolt. And the one I like the most is Ben Quadraneros

because he looks like King Willy Weety. Do you remember that fella? Of course I remember King Willy Wheaty. So there you go. I think I looked this up recently. I think it was to make a joke on Twitter, but I saw a great. About King Willy Wheaty? No, it was about, I looked up characters on Tatooine.

Oh, yeah. Because I was going to make fun of you on Twitter. Oh, it is Ben Quadraneros, yeah. It is King Willy Wheaty, yes. Because I was going to make fun of you on Twitter. Oh, it is Ben Quadranaros, yeah. He's King Leawiti, yes. Very good. I think he's one that doesn't even start the race. Oh, right. Remember, his pod blows up on him.

Yeah, or something like that. Oh. But most of those guys are made to explode. Right. Yeah. What's the difference between Owen Lars and Klieg Lars? It's his son. Oh. So, wait, he's one. Yeah. What's the difference between Owen Lars and Cleeg Lars? It's his son. Oh.

So wait, he's one. Okay. Cleeg Lars is the. Cleeg Lars is Jack Thompson. Jack Thompson, yeah. And the father of Joel Edgerton. Oh, okay, right. Who becomes old Owen Lars.

Oh, because Cleeg Lars is in like the first movie probably. Yeah, second. Okay. So he's missing a leg because of sand people and his wife got kidnapped. Right. I'd go after her but I won't. Okay. Yeah. If you leg because of sand people and his wife got kidnapped. Right. I'd go after her, but I won't. Okay. Yeah.

If you recall Star Wars Episode 2, Mason. Eventually I settled on Watto. What do you want to talk about Watto? I guess. What do you got on Watto? I actually wrote it down and then I took it out. Okay. Because I don't know why.

Okay. So he's clearly some kind of- Because he's Gonzo. Yes, exactly. He's like a sinister, like Gonzo Clinger-esque charlatan. He ends up destitute. Okay, good. Because he's a slave owner.

Yeah, and he keeps gambling. Yeah. And he, well, he loses because Qui-Gon's like, you know, if you gamble, you eventually lose. But he lost because Qui-Gon cheated him. Yep. So why not just kill him, Qui-Gon? Why not just kill him, exactly.

Cut his arms off like you'd do to anybody. Yeah, we've talked about this before, but when Qui-Gon tries to mind trick him and he's like, it doesn't work. So he's like, well, what I'll do, I'll make a kid do a race car event. You'd be like in for a penny, in for a pound. How about I just crush him with this engine using the force? Exactly.

Like Splato. Exactly. So he just sets these chain of events in motion because it's like, it's not the Jedi way to whatever. But he kills a bunch of people inadvertently on the way by having Anakin compete in this race. And this series of events

unfolds where he could have just held up a lightsaber and just goes, just give me the thing or I'll kill you. Give me everything I want in this room. Give me the kid. Give me the power-motivated thingamabob. But he turns up, I think, in a non-canon comic where Obi-Wan meets Darth Maul with legs.

Okay. Which is the first time that he came back. Okay. And he's beheaded. I think Darth Maul was looking for Obi-Wan and he beheads him. Oh. But he probably turns up. He's got little stubble under his little chin. He does, yeah. That's true. Goodheaded. I think Darth Maul's looking for Obi-Wan and he beheads him. Oh. But he probably turns up. He's got little stubble under his little chin.

He does, yeah. That's true. Good effect. I agree. That thing like from 99 looks good. Do you know who EV-9D9 is? No. She's a torture droid from.

She. She. Have you seen Return of the Jedi? Yes. Remember when they go down into the bowels of Jabba's palace and there's the one who goes, you are a protocol droid, are you not? And whatever. Oh, right, okay.

And he's like putting like the hot press on one of the gonk droids or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's like torturing all these people. Anyway, this is a regular droid gone bad. All the models. Oh, a regular torture droid. Yeah.

Well, they weren't supposed to be, but they were all recalled, but this one escaped. Ah. It's like when you get a car with malfunctioning airbags. Exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And this is a droid that. You get in your car and you start the engine and it's like, you're going to get the hot press.

Why? So this is a droid that added a third eye to herself that can see pain and revels in it. In other droids' pain, right? So she's laying low in Cloud City and under the supervision of Lando Calrissian and Lobot, he's just like torturing the droid's pain, right? Right. So she's laying low on Cloud City and under the supervision

of Lando Calrissian and Lobot is just like torturing the droid population. Oh, what? And they don't know. But anyway, I think she eventually like tries to tip the whole station into like into the planet or whatever. I've read this a long time ago. Because it's a weird poison soup or something.

Yeah, I don't know, whatever. But she escapes. They fix it. Okay. And so she's belly rub. Because it's a weird poison soup or something. Yeah, I don't know, whatever. But she escapes. They fix it. Okay. And so she's hiding out on Jabba's sail barge or whatever. Okay. And then she sees that Lando's there and she's like, oh, shit, Lando Calrissian has come to get revenge.

Okay. I'm going to have to deal with this. But it turns out that's just a coincidence that he happens to be there. But what does end up happening is a traffic droid from Cloud City shows up and he's like, boom, it's me, you're dead. So that's how it ends. She's killed by a traffic droid. Yeah, from Bespin.

Oh, as revenge. As revenge, yeah. So there is some actual revenge. There's actual revenge. Okay. So there you bloody go. You're under arrest for all your airbag-related misdemeanors. I'm a traffic trooper.

That's like a traffic cop that's taken his job way too seriously. So this is another one from my brother that he insisted that I read. Okay. It's Felton Pern. See, one of these, he's going to betray you at some point here. One of these is going to be bad. This is a weird one. Yeah, of course.

Felton Pern Travag. Also, he might have made be bad. This is a weird one. Felsen, Pern, Travag and... Also, he might have made one up. No, these are real. I looked into them. Milune Onus. This is like a weird goat creature from the Mos Eisley Cantina. It's like, I just want to get laid. So he meets this other creature and

his workmates are like, what are you doing? This is weird. Don't go with that creature. And he's like, I don't have time. I'm getting late. I love it. And so he tells the creature that this is all in the book. I cannot stress this enough.

It's like, I love you and let's be together. And the woman's like, yeah, I love you too. But he's like, it's a trick. I'm going to leave in the morning. This is a one-night stand. Oh, he's going to trick her. I see. Okay. But anyway. Well, I hope he gets his comeuppance well he does because she's

some kind of weird praying mantis alien oh nice so and then the book ends with like his friends being like i tried to warn him but he was just like i just want to get laid so it's a real lesson for all the kids out there it is isn't it don't watch out you might get your head don't have sex with a praying mantis that That's right. Ask first. Yeah, that's right. This is a newer one. Oh. But I think it's worth mentioning.

Go on. FN2199. Okay. It was more commonly known as TR8R, Traitor. Oh, the Stormtrooper. The Stormtrooper from Force Awakens. He's like, I'll get you, Finn. Heavily memed. So the reason that they know each other is because they came up together

in training. Okay. So he wasn't just like, traitor. He was like, I know you specifically. And then they fight. And he's got that electric stick thing. That cool thing. Remember, he's memed and he's doing dances and stuff.

Yeah, for sure. He's in all sorts of things. He's dancing to the Becca theme. Ba-doom-doom, ba-doom-doom, ba-doom-doom. Be-oo-dee-doo-doo-doo. Becca and his character Sam, the Becca theme. Becca and his character Sam, the same universe from Cheers. We talked about it, didn't we? Yeah, we did. You can edit that out, Colleen.

Or leave it. Why would he, though? It's good stuff. Episode three and we're just crushing it. That's right. The Rancor trailer is named Malakai, Malaklee. Oh, and he's very sad because his rancor is killed. Very sad.

Yeah. So if I remember the book correctly, which I don't, he's got a love for horrible beastly creatures. Okay, yeah. And the rancor gets delivered and he tries to befriend it. Okay. And it's a long process of them getting to know each other and Jabba's like, it's just a beast who gives a fuck. Just like do your job, feed it, don't wear a shirt.

That's all I need from you. Right? Uh-huh. And eventually he gets the opportunity to take the Rancor out for like a run on the Dune Sea. Okay, sure. Again, from memory. Okay, great.

Great stuff. So I haven't read this in like 25 years. Uh-huh. That's right. I'm older than 25. Believe it. He read this on his first birthday. That's right.

Got it for his birthday. So they form this bond where I think his plan is to release it or something like that. Okay. And then Luke Skywalker kills it. Oh, no. One day till release. Yeah.

So that guy's always stuck out to me because. How oily he is. Well, how oily, but like everybody loves something in the Star Wars universe. Like that was his whole world. Yeah, right. That's true. Luke Skywalker dropped a door on it. So, you know, that's the rank.

I mean, that's what, you know, that's, you know, I guess the interesting thing about these, you know, backstories. I've always talked about, you know, James Bond, he's always killing all these people. But, you know, they've got backstories too. Exactly. It's like that Austin Powers, Rob Lowe thing where you find that guy gets crushed or whatever.

Anyway, this one I have no information on. I've just written question mark. Okay. Let's make up a backstory for it. Bore Gullet? Bore Gullet. It's the squid monster from Rogue One that can read your memories. Oh, and it tortures your brain?

It tells you whether you're true. Yeah, it tells you whether you're telling the truth. It's a squid and it wraps around you. And Forrest Whitaker's like, or Gullet. Anyway, it probably died when the planet exploded. Yeah, the planet exploded, didn't it? Maybe it caught a wave to safety. Maybe it caught a safety wave. I don't know.

That's what they call them. That's what they say. They say if your car's spinning around, turn into the skid. And if you're on a planet that's about to be destroyed by the Death Star super laser, grab yourself a light wave, safety wave, baby. You're going to be all right. You know Jackson with two X's?

No. The green rabbit? There's a lot of kids out there called Jackson with two X's, I think. That's true. Or one X. It's a green rabbit from Star Wars in like a red flight jumpsuit, red and white flight jumpsuit. On the side of the Rebels?

Yes. Basically it's Han Solo, but it's a 6'2 green rabbit. So it's Bucky O'Hare. Yes. There's a lot of similarities there, yes. But the other thing about this guy is he was introduced, one of the first characters to be introduced outside of the main continuity because he turned up in a Star Wars comic. And it seemed like he wasn't really loved.

And the rumor was that George Lucas was like, get rid of this giant rabbit. What's the character called again? Jackson 2Xs. Oh, yeah. Which is the name of your first son, presumably. Nice. Jackson Star Wars comes up right away. Big rabbit, right?

Oh, yeah. He's Bucky O'Hare. Yeah. Bucky O'Hare was after though, right? Yeah. Bucky O'Hare was like 90, oh, Bucky O'Hare was 1984, so still after. Oh, okay.

So, yeah, but people weren't really a big fan and he disappeared for 20 years. Okay. But – But then it turns out he existed and therefore as part of the Star Wars universe they've got to bring him back. Exactly, and he now is canonical again. He's had some canonical adventures since, which I did not rate.

There you go. There's like cool cartoon versions, like stylised ones. Oh, yeah, yeah. But then there's like this horrible Alice in Wonderland like painted version that is horrifying. Yeah. Imagine you wake up one night and that's standing in your bedroom. And it's got a gun.

Yeah. He does have a gun. Yeah, wow. Yeah, not a fad. But anyway, he's Han Solo but he's a rabbit. Yep. And it's got a gun. Yeah. He does have a gun. Yeah, wow. Yeah, not a fad. But anyway, he's Han Solo but he's a rabbit. Yep. And people hate him. Nice.

Chairman Papanoidia. Okay. Is a pizza mascot. Do you remember the Noid? We didn't really have the Noid over here. No, we didn't. It's more something off-seated. Yeah, he was a Domino's pizza mascot, I think.

Yeah. I think a man went insane. From the Noid? Yeah. And he was like, he thought the Domino's had specifically created the Noid. To target him? To target him. And then he went, I'm going to look it up,

but continue with whatever thing you're saying. I will. That's the character who's played by George Lucas, a blue-skinned alien at the opera, and his daughter's in the same blue skin next to him. This is in episode three. Yeah, right. And that's the only time that he's appeared in a Star Wars movie.

It's his one cameo. And I think it was, you know, these movies are wrapping up. I've never been in these movies. Let's do it. Let's be in it. Yeah, right. So George Lucas. There you go. Got that Noid fact.

Here's the Noid fact. In 1989, a man named Kenneth Noid walked over to Domino's Pizza in Atlanta, Georgia with a.357 Magnum revolver and took two hostages. After a five-hour standoff during which Noid demanded $100,000 in ransom money, the employees escaped. So Noid believed that Domino's Pizza founder, Tom Monaghan, had created the Avoid the Noid campaign specifically to target him, to persecute him.

Wow. And they're like, he's saying for people to avoid me. It might be because he had that gun. Yeah. But, I mean, who knows. So could there be any chance that that is true? I don't think so, no. I don't know.

So there's no validity to this. I don't believe so, no. Wow. So did they retire the Noids shortly after? They retired the Noid after that and he came back like, hang on, so save a brief appearance in a Facebook game in 2011 to celebrate his 25th birthday. The Noid hasn't been seen since.

That's right. And what happened to the guy? He's fine. He's not. No, he's definitely not. No, he's not. I hope he's okay. He's not.

No, he's dead? Yeah. Oh, boo. Well, I hope he found some peace because they got rid of the Noid. He's not. No, he's definitely not. No, he's not. I hope he's okay. He's not. No, he's dead? Yeah. Oh, boo. Well, I hope he found some peace because they got rid of the Noid. Yeah, absolutely. I guess he got his way. Yeah. Yeah.

Will Rowhood, this is an interesting story. It is an interesting story? Yes. Or did you say this is an uninteresting story? This is an interesting story. Well, he's got a human first name, so that's something. Exactly. That tells me a lot.

So this is a character, a very minor character from Empire Strikes Back. He's in one scene. He's seen grasping an ice cream maker and he rushes past the camera as Cloud City is being overtaken by the Empire. So they've just handed him

whatever prop they had and they've gone run across the screen. And he's got a backstory. Yes. Well that's not what's fascinating about this guy. But it's not. Canonically, it's not an ice cream maker. No. The machine that he's holding is a. Because the machine is the same one we see in the Mandalorian that holds the best car

and also holds those gems that Timothy Olsen takes. Oh, yeah, right. That's an ice cream maker from like the 70s and 80s or whatever. Well, I guess it would be the 70s. Yeah. So his job. Oh, I remember now.s. Yeah. So he's Jock. Oh, I remember now. Yeah.

He's in one scene, right, this dude, and you blink and miss. So they've retconned something important being in that thing. Okay, right. So the story behind him is that he helped – Lando didn't love the Empire, as mentioned, so he used to sell – He loved capes and that's it. That's all he loved. Capes and getting laid.

He loved it, baby. But he learned a lesson from that praying mantis woman. He killed her. He had to. It was her or him. But he used to sell gas to the rebels cheaper, right? Yeah, right. But Wilwo Hood, that was his job.

He would help. One of his jobs was help liaise with the rebels. He was captured and tortured by the Empire for his job. He eventually escaped and grabbed the most important thing. Tortured by the torture lady robot? No, I think just a regular torture droid probably. You know the ball with the, it's got a syringe in it or whatever. I'd just kick it.

But anyway. I would simply kick the ball. I'd hit it like a volleyball. Spike it. Jump up and just fucking hammer it, mate. Nice. But so he didn't give up. He didn't give up anything when he was tortured by the Empire.

So his most valuable possession is probably in that ice cream maker. Maybe it is ice cream. We don't really know. But what's interesting is that every Star Wars convention, like the mainline ones and probably some minor ones, there's an event called the Running of the Willow Hoods. Great. And it's like 50 people dressed as this dude with the ice cream makers and they just run

through the convention. That's great. So it's just become this thing. I like that a lot. Which I really enjoy. I know. Yeah. I've got one more from my brother. Okay.

Are you ready for it? I don't know if I'll ever be ready, but all right. This is the one. If this is the one where he's going to betray us. Maybe we'll save it for the end. Oh. Because let's talk about Therm Scissor Punch. That's a good name. It's just a big crab man from Solo.

It's playing cards. It's got big crab hands. Nice. There's not much on it, not much on Therm from the Wikipedia, but one of the facts is likely a name given to himself. So probably, I'd imagine. Do you think, as the name suggests, do you think he's like one of those pistol shrimps?

In terms of like... Like he's got that powerful punch. The pistol shrimp has that powerful hot punch. Are you aware of that? A hot punch? A hot punch. Is it hot or just like it's a hot movement? It produces like a...

It's so fast. Are you not aware of this? It's a sea creature. Yeah. And it produces like... It can kill... It's little, but it produces like a thermal blast with an attack underwater. So it's like a one-punch man shrimp.

Yes. Oh, my God. Yeah, so maybe that's why. I think there's a YouTube channel called Pistol Shrimp, isn't there? Pistol Shrimp's radio, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think there's maybe a fake sports team called the Pistol Shrimps.

So it's like this quick-drawn shrimp. Yeah. I love that. I love that. I love that, Mason. I hope that's what I'm thinking of. What if it's made up? No, there's a real one that's, oh, yeah, it's got a hammer. It's pistol-like.

Unlike most shrimp claws, it does not have typical pincers at the end. Rather, it has a pistol-like feature made of two parts. A joint allows the hammer part to move backwards in a right-angled position. When released, it snaps into the other part of the claw, emitting an enormously powerful wave of bubbles capable of stunningly large efficient breaking glass jars. Whoa! Yeah.

So it's not poison. It's just like a big punch. No, it's like a thermal, like underwater, it's a hot punch, like I said. That's crazy. I love that, Mason. I wish that was a Star Wars character. It is!

Thumb Scissor Punch! Oh, you know what? Jamie Foxx's character in Project Power. That's his power. He's got the thermal punch. Okay. He's got pistol shrimp DNA or whatever. I didn't know that.

Yeah. In his body. Did they say that in it? I think so, yeah. It's just like that YouTube channel and preacher, yeah. That fake sports team. Fake sports team, yeah. Second last one, Yaddle.

Yoda's wife. No. Or Lady Yoda. Lady Yoda. Okay. We don't really know. We know Yaddle is a very formidable Jedi, about half the age of Yoda. But Yaddle, who looks like Yoda in a wig, began as a young Yoda design sketch.

So like sexy young 70s hair. Yeah, but if you look at the sketch, it doesn't really look like Yaddle at all. Okay. Looks like George Lucas in Flowing Amazing Hair. George Lucas does have Flowing Amazing Hair. I know. But it's just Yoda in a wig. Yeah, I know.

I've seen it. I've seen the pictures. Yeah, so it feels like they just made two Yoda puppets and they went, we just need. And they rested a wig on one momentarily and they're like, wait a minute. Yeah, exactly.

This is a terrible idea, but let's give it a backstory anyway. Yeah, so she was replaced on the Jedi Council by Kai Adimandi, who's the guy with the big long cone head. Okay, yeah. I think she must have been killed in Order 66. But she comes back in like a weird vision and Darth Vader like cuts it in half but it's not real because she's already dead or something. You can't kill me, Darth Vader.

It's me, Yaddle. Who? Yaddle? I know. I was a kid when I met you and then you left the council, you'd say. Yeah, you would, yeah. Here's the last one. It's from my brother, Mason.

It's Kadar Mabat. Okay. Essentially, Kadar Mabat. Here's the last one. It's from my brother, Mason. It's Kadarmabat. Okay. Essentially, Kadarmabat. Yes. Pronounced exactly like that. It's a bad name for starters, so good job, your brother. And you'll love this. Okay.

It's a big spider that lives in a big web that's got all sorts of, like, ship weaponry on it that floats through space. Okay. Which acts as a, it basically facilitates bounties through the Bounty Hunters Guild in this big spider web ball that floats through space that it lives in. Okay. And it's sentient and it's like six foot tall or whatever.

And when you get inside the web, it's like a big interconnected unit. Okay. So it's all like wherever you are in the web, it can see you. It's all like the fucking tree from Avatar but weird. Yeah, I know what you're going to get. Anyway, but essentially the way my brother put it, it ensures prompt payments of bounties collected by the members of the Bounty Hunters Guild. So essentially it's like an accountant.

Sure, yeah. It's a spider accountant. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yeah. What do you think of that, Mason? I love it. That means you love my brother. No.

The one you traditionally hate. No, I hate him. Okay, fair enough. Okay, right. So, yeah, you happy with that, accounting spider? Yeah, accounting spider. The perfect finale. Does accounting spider also hand out those weird bounty hunter tracking devices

where it's like, I need to track down this thing. Here it is. How does it work? Dunno. Dunno. Magic web, I guess. There we go. I was going to say, if you know any weird characters.

Know any weirder ones than that? Yeah. Let us know. Tell us the backstory in one sentence. One tweet. You've got to thrill us. Yeah. You've got to thrill us. Yeah. You've got to thrill us with these dumb characters.

And maybe I'll get my brother to start a Twitter account. Yes. And say whether they're good or not. Oh, yeah, that's pretty good, yeah. Or you could do it. Yeah. Or we get your other brother to do it. He'd do it too.

Yeah. Get both my brothers on board. Yes. All right, do you know what it's time for? It's time for what we're reading. What are we going to read? I'm doing the thing. What are we, Westworld, today?

Getting bolder, Mason. Very bold. Very bold. So we are in the What We're Reading section of the show where basically we tell people what we've been reading or what you're doing outside of what the things we've talked about. That's right. Do you want to go first?

I want to go first. I asked if you want me to go first. No. Okay. And I'm telling you no. I implied it, but you wouldn't take that for an answer, would you? I wouldn't. No, so I'm telling you no.

I apologize. I read the first issue of Teenage Mutants Ninja Turtles, The Last Aronia. So did I. I thought it was fine. I liked it a lot. Okay, right. Interesting.

Weird future or whatever? Yeah. Should we spoil it? Momentarily. Let's talk about it. So for people who don't know, it's set. I ordered this like two months ago on the show, and every week I'm like, is this the week?

It is. It is the week. So it's set in the future of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Agreed. And it's a somewhat post-apocalyptic future. Agreed. It's a dystopia definitely for sure. And all the turtles are dead except.

Except one turtle is still alive and he has to go from a wasteland. Or she. All right. It's a guy. It might be Venus de Milo, you're right. It's not, but it could be. It could be. He has to go from like an apocalyptic wasteland

to the big cyberpunk future city to get revenge on behalf of Shredder's grand son. On behalf of all the turtles that have died in the past. It's in the main continuity sort of, I guess. I mean, it's probably an elsewhere story. Well, it is the return of Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird actually doing both working together on The Riding Duties, along with another guy whose name I cannot recall.

There's another guy in it. There's the third guy involved, yeah. And what did you like about it then? I liked the art. I thought it was good. I liked the art. I thought, look, I could. But the mystery, as we've established,

he's wearing a black bandana instead of his regular colour bandana. And he's haunted by the turtles, the other three turtles. Yeah, or is he? Maybe he's just imagining them. Oh, no, he's imagining them, definitely. Okay. I think. But he carries all the turtle weapons.

He carries all the weapons. So you don't know which one he is and some of the weapons are not working. I like the art, certainly. I like the art. I think they could have done without the it's the future shit. Yeah, maybe that's what's throwing me. Maybe if it was like, if this is like a big hit, let's say they were like, it's set in 2021 and the turtles died last year.

Yeah. That would be fine and I would probably enjoy that more. But then people would be like, well, that doesn't leave a lot of room to put in more Ninja Turtle stories in the intervening time when they are alive. Yeah, fair point. So I guess they had to be like, it's the future, far future. So now when they're like, now let's do some more popular stories

when the turtles are all alive. They've got plenty of room. And in this continuity, and I'm completely out of the loop on turtles, but Shredder, the original Shredder is dead, as what happened in the first comic, presumably. He has a daughter. She's in the animated movie, as well, who

presumably is also dead. And she has a son who's the new Shredder. Wait, no, his mother's still alive, I think. Oh, is it? Okay. She's a suspendedder. Wait, no, his mother's still alive, I think. Oh, is it? Okay. She's a suspended animation. Oh, okay, right.

Okay, fair enough. And presumably he's going to shred her up at some point. Yeah, right. But this turtle is coming for revenge, essentially, and he's making his way through the city, but it's all high tech and like. Stealing a lot of motorcycles. Stealing a lot of motorcycles and, you know, there's gang members and maybe Casey Jones' daughter maybe?

Well, that's the thing. She's got the most common name of all, but she's definitely like Jones. That's me. So it's Casey Jones' daughter for sure. Do you want to spoil who it is? Yes, spoiler alert for this. Skip ahead time codes.

I think it's pretty solid. It's a good first issue. It's long as well. Yeah, I don't know. It felt a bit, I think you're right. I think it's the future scenario is a little unnecessary for me. But again, the turtles have gone through all sorts of different times and dimensions and planets and all sorts of stuff.

Sometimes they're robots and stuff. Yeah, yeah, for sure. Anyway, spoiler alert for this. The turtle in question is Michelangelo. As we suspected. We did suspect. It's not going to be Raphael. It's not going to be Leonardo.

It's not going to be Leonardo. Donatello is too much of a nerd to say revenge. He's probably too busy on his PS12 probably. Are they going to say PS Vita? He would. He'd be like, actually, this is an excellent console. This was the peak of consoles actually. You can play ports of previous PS1 games and everything.

I've got all the Metal Gear games on this. I'm watching Hellboy on UMD. No, no, Mason. Vita. Okay, right. Anyway. But he would watch Hellboy on UMD. Yeah, he would. But anyway, yeah. And April's Mason. Peter. Okay, right. Anyway. But he would watch Hellboy on UMK. Yeah, he would.

But anyway, yeah. And April's alive. Yeah. Or that's a hallucination. I think she's alive. Maybe that's a dream. Okay, right. But I don't know.

Yeah. But I know I like the mystery. Number one party dude is Michelangelo. Yeah, I like the mystery of it. I like how you see that because from some of the continuities, and I'm probably wrong because there's bigger fans of this than me, but Michelangelo is like the most naturally gifted, but he's not that committed.

Yeah, he's not that committed to it. He's a bit of a goofball, but he's like, and I think you see a bit of that in his kind of fuck-ups in this, do you know what I mean? But you see how he's improved and he's more serious and do you know what I mean? I really enjoyed it. Even though you did not enjoy it as much as me,

I'm not going to let that detract from it. No, don't let it. Don't let any of my opinions detract. Do you think this was like because you were looking forward to it so much? Do you think that might have factored into you? I mean, I wasn't looking forward to it that much. I was. Every week, Mason, I'm like, is this the way?

Also, did you know issue number one has 71 alternate covers? That's too many. That's more pages than are in the comic. If you go to the back page, it says collect all of them. Why? It's madness. Maybe it's not 71, but it is like in the double digits. If it's more than 10, it's too many.

Hang on. If it's more than three, it's too many. 71 covers. Oh, my goodness. 71 alternate covers. That's too many. And counting, it says. And counting.

Maybe they mean next issue. Yeah, probably. I mean, they're good looking covers. That's too many. And counting, it says. And counting. Yeah. Maybe they mean next issue, but. Yeah, probably. Yeah. I mean, they're good-looking covers. Yeah, I agree. But I mean, is it one of those things where, like, if they buy 10 versions, then the distributor gets the bonus issue? Like, some are rare and some are not rare.

I don't know. Yeah. Couldn't get that. No, thanks. Did you get a digital copy? I did get a digital copy. Very good. Okay. Also, presumably, if you get a digital copy? I did get a digital copy. Very good. Okay.

Also, presumably if you get the digital copy, you get every cover. I didn't check, but I imagine. 71 extra pages. Yes, 71 bonus pages. I didn't have a look, to be honest. Anyway, I think there's five issues maybe. Yes. They're going to be coming back, and I'm looking forward to it.

Should we move on to the next segment of the show? I'm trying to think of anything else I've read this week, but I don't know. I definitely have. Three Jokers, but I don't know. I definitely have. Three Jokers, but I might come back to that next week. I haven't finished that yet. Now I haven't finished that yet. Because I will compile some. There's only three issues of that, right?

Yes, I will compile some thoughts. I do have thoughts, but I'd like to maybe give it a reread. Okay, nice. All right, let's do letters then. Let's do it. The classic one was letters, oh letters, we love you. Some letters, they're only a day away. I know they're here right now.

We're going to do letters. You don't have to worry about the letters being a day away because they're here right goddamn now. If you do want to reach the show, hashtag Weekly Planet Pod on Twitter or send a Gmail over to weeklyplanetpod at gmail.com. An internet Gmail. And if you send it from an Outlook account, what are you doing? What do I mean?

Come on. Shut that account down. That's right. Yeah. Remember how Hotmail have transitioned into Outlook like anybody wants that. Every now and then I have to get into like an old Hotmail account. You've got to go through Outlook and it asks me all these questions. I'm like, verify it's you, please.

Are you sure? And I'm like, dude, you should be fucking happy I'm here. Like don't be throwing questions at me, all right? Yeah, right. Yeah, anyway, go on. Okay, this is from Alex Clark. Hello, Alex. His weekly planet is ruining my degree, but thank you.

You're welcome. Hey, James and Mace. So just writing in to say thank you and oh no about your influence on my degree work at the moment. I've always listened to the podcast right from the first episode and it's been great to unwind to have her after your last two recommendations of Auntie Donna. I decided to give them a go and since then have watched every single video on their channel.

I knew it. And therefore have not been working. Sure, I've got nothing to do right now, but all the same, thank you and boo. Of course, I'm still going to listen to the pod. I'm sure I have time for both, and can I ask to be the official student podcast representative? Absolutely, you may. But get back to work, mate. Get back to bloody work.

Get back to work, mate. Get, get, but I mean- What's he studying? I mean, it's his degree. He doesn't want to tell us. Something really good, no doubt. Yeah, I'd say so. Probably because he wants to surprise us later.

I appreciate that. It's going to be really good. It's going to be great. I can't wait to hear about it. If you're going to be our student representative, get hamburgers in the cafeteria. We all insist. I don't think they'd be very good, though.

Good hamburgers. Specify good hamburgers. Get those ones if you're going to get one. We all insist. I don't think they'd be very good, though. Good hamburgers. Oh, yeah. Specify good hamburgers. Get those ones if you're going to get one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly, yeah. This is from X0XLucasMason. Question for Hashtag WeeklyPlanetPod. If you guys could travel in time to save an actor's life, accidents and whatnot, in brackets,

which one would you choose and change the film industry forever? Cheers from Brazil. Would you be saving? Would you like a River Phoenix? Like River Phoenix, you can come back. You can do the young Indiana Jones TV show instead of Sean Patrick Flannery. You can kill his career before it even starts.

And then he'd never do Boondock Saints. River Phoenix would do it. He'd never be in one of the seasons of Dexter maybe. Right now we'd be in the Boondock Saints cinematic universe. Every week we'd be talking about the BSCU. Absolutely. Biscu.

This podcast would be called Biscu Talk. Biscu Talk. Yes. The Biscu Boys. Biscu Boys. We'd be the Biscu Boys. Okay, episode one this week. It's the Biscu Boys.

Biscu Boys. We're changing it again. Reboot. Heath Ledger would be great, obviously also because he has a daughter and he died young. Yes. But also third Batman with the Joker. Oh, yeah, that's true.

That would have been really good, yeah. I mean, Bane was all right. Yeah, yeah. But, yeah. What about you? Philip Seymour Hoffman, he could finish that Hunger Games movie. That's true, he could, yeah. But also he could make good movies too.

John Belushi, another Blues Brothers. Yeah. Would be nice. Isn't he horrible? I don Games movie. That's true, he could, yeah. But also he could make good movies. John Belushi and other Blues Brothers. Yeah. Would be nice. Isn't he horrible? I don't know. I don't know. Okay. I'm not saying we shouldn't bring, I mean, everybody's got.

Yeah. Comedies that are not great. Who's dead, James? Well, mate, so many people. Who's dead and ripe for a comeback? What about a Chris Farley? No. I'm talking dead.

No? I'm not against him, but I mean, you know. You hate him, obviously. Yeah, I hate him. I hate his guts. Are you googling dead actors? That's literally what I am. Give me some options. And I'll say no, I'll say rather they, I'll say bring him back or

rather they stay dead. I'm going to put recent dead actors. Okay, right. That'd be Carrie Fisher. Yeah, that would be nice. I mean, she just seems like a very interesting person as well, in addition to being a good actor. Irfan Khan, who is a great Indian actor, but he's the new John Hammond in Jurassic World. Oh, yeah, that's right. I like him as an actor.

Rip Torn, you bringing him back? Maybe, yeah. He could rob another bank or whatever he did. Yeah, whatever he did. Who knows what he'd be robbing right now? Michael Clarke Duncan. Okay, I've figured it out. Okay.

I was about to say, it's out of these two. It's obviously not. Robin Williams. Chadwick Boseman. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Chadwick. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. I didn't really mean you have to choose, but I also choose Chadwick Boseman.

But, yeah, that one really stuck. Yeah, that surprised so many people. Yeah, Chadwick Boseman, I would say, if I had to choose. Also, because it's recent, you're not messing up with the timeline too much, are you? That's true. Oh, we're messing up timelines as well. Oh, we wouldn't, wouldn't we? I guess we would.

Oh, Bill Paxton. Oh, man. John Ritter. There's some good ones here. That's right. I say, look at Kirk Douglas' dad. What's his name? Old Douglas?

Do you mean Michael Douglas? Michael Douglas. Yeah, he's Kirk Douglas. Yeah, but I'm like, he's a good ones here. That's right. I say, look at Kirk Douglas' dad. What's his name? Old Douglas? Do you mean Michael Douglas? Michael Douglas. Yeah, he's Kirk Douglas. But I'm like, he's a million years old. I mean, you know, I like him. But, ah, Anton Yelchin. I hate this. What am I doing?

This is awful. It's just making me sad. So I'm like, ooh, I'll bring them back. I can't. What am I doing? If you look down there, there's a follow-up tweet under the question that was like, this is just to make you sad. What's

next? This is from Runaleo. Here we go. It says, Meso's tax thingy. Remember to write Mulan off on your tax return, Nicholas. I did my taxes yesterday and I forgot. It's in? You submitted it? It's in. I've submitted it and I forgot. I should have.

Would it save me 10% of $30 or whatever I would have gotten. $3? You could get a cafeteria hamburger at a university. Very true. It would have been a good one these days. Air prices are exorbitant. That's no good.

You got another one? Yeah, I got a couple more. This is from Bethany Drager. She says, my parents also 100% told me it was illegal to keep your light on, the interior light on the car. Parents be lying, Bethany. Definitely thought that was the case long after I got my driver's license and well into my adult years.

I'm in the US, so there must be a universal lies for parents manual they hand out at all hospitals. I reckon there would be. Yeah, I think so too. I do find myself sometimes saying like or going to say lies that I was told and then I like stop myself and I'm like, I'm just going to say the truth. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure. Maybe too much truth. Every day I'm like, I'm just going to say the truth. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Sure. Like every day I remind my kids I'm going to die. I'm like, I'm going to die. Yeah, I see. And they're both like, good. Even though they can't talk. She nods solemnly like, yeah. Not solemnly.

No, quite happily. Yeah. There you go. Do you got any other like parents' lies that they told you? I'm sure I've got a bunch. I don't think my parents told me any lies. I used to crash my bike a lot when I was learning to ride on bike and my dad would also always be like, oh, my hands slipped.

He was like, this is nothing like riding a bike. You'll constantly be forgetting this. But like he'd be like, oh, we don't let go. Back as he's like, my hands slipped. Yeah, yeah. And I'd crash and he's like, my hands slipped. And I'm like, yeah, we don't let go. Back as he's like, my hand slipped. Yeah, yeah. And I'd crash. And he's like, my hand slipped. And I'm like, yeah, he wouldn't do that on purpose.

So he's probably, but he was just letting go. Yeah, he did though. He was a big liar. Yeah. He's a big liar. What else? Okay, this is from, this one, this is a very special one for me. Okay.

It's from Landon. Do you have a special one for me after this one? Yeah, the next special one's for you, I think. Good, okay. So Landon, no last name. Okay. And then the subject line says, two and a half men is my favourite show. What? And then the body of the email, there isn't anything.

So I guess Landon just wanted to let us know that two and a half men is his favourite show. That's great, man. If you love that, it's cool. I'm not sure if we've mentioned two and a half men recently. No, we did. We talked about endings. Oh yeah, we did too, yeah. And I think we probably said is this anybody's favourite show and Landon went

this is my moment nice well good for you Landon anyway that was your one what's my one okay oh yeah okay this is from

Lincoln Chambers hey guys long time fan here I've been watching your videos and listening to the pod for about five years now so have I this is my first time

writing in and I have not me and I have a huge favour to ask of you guys my girlfriend and I are celebrating our two year anniversary on November 5th and would love a shout-out from you all to celebrate.

My girlfriend, Shay, means the world to me and I love her to the moon and back so I feel like it's only fitting that we celebrate two years with a shout-out from my favourite pod. Whoa. She knows you guys as the Butthole Show and has never listened to an episode but knows how highly I think of you all. This is why we need to change the theme, Mason. We're not hitting all the demographics.

People think we're just a couple of butthole dudes, a couple of butthole surfers. I mean, they're not wrong. I am also formally asking permission for Shea and Lincoln to be the official couple of the pod, aside from you two. Thank you very much, guys, and thank you for years of laughs and great content. Well, I wanted to say happy two-year anniversary to Shea and Lincoln

from us, the two butthole boys from the Butthole Show. Correct. Anyway, that's a letter for you, James. Reboot. We're calling it the Butthole Show. We're starting at number zero, like a butthole. Oh, okay, nice. What do you think?

What happened to the other reboot we were just going to do? We're back and we're rebooting again. Okay, fine. Sorry to whoever was after whatever we called it mere minutes ago. We rebooted it out again. I got one from Hayden on Twitter. Rebutted. The what, sorry? Rebutted. That's good. Yeah, thank you. From hashtag weeklyplanetpod, not from

that's what they, you have to put it in the thing. Lads, do you think we'll ever get a good video game movie? No. No, I think we will. In light of the new hype surrounding Uncharted, or do you think the whole formula of bringing such characters and removing the actual, you control the story element will work one day? So like PS, 2018 Tomb Raider AW, I guess as in win?

Yeah, what do you think? Do you think there's ever a way to take that narrative and make it as like a universal? I think there definitely is. Is there a way to put that element of choice back into a movie or the perception of? Like where, you know, it's like there's a moment and the screen pauses and you have to shout something.

And Marky Mark turns to the audience. Mustache or no mustache? I'm going to shave my mustache. And we're like, no, Mark, don't do it. It's like he's looking in the mirror. He's like, I'm going to shave my mustache. In the bathroom, I'm going to shave my mustache. And we're like, no, it's a pantomime.

Yeah. And we're like, no. And he's like, okay, I'll do it. I'll do it. You know? Because he's out of breath. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I don't know.

I don't think so. I think it's just the problem is that they're attempting to tell just an entire video game's length worth of story. Yeah, but video games. Over 15 hours. Over two hours or something. If a game is like 15 hours, there's not usually 15 hours of story. Like if you took all the cut scenes, it's like a couple of hours, I guess.

I don't know. I don't know either. I don't know. Is Nathan Drake going to kill like 400 people? I mean, we do know and they should give us $200 million to make one. Yeah, and we'll do it. Yeah, I'll make a banjo because we move the other can. I don't want my name on it.

I just want the money and have some influence. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I don't want to put my name on it. Nice, nice, nice. Are you cool with that? Yeah, that's very cool. I might also do that actually. Yeah, nice, nice. Are you cool with that? Yeah, that's very cool. I might also do that, actually. Yeah, yeah.

Do you reckon Nathan Drake, though, is going to kill 400 people? Yeah. No, I don't know. Handgun, just like shooting. No, I think he might. There's going to be some cover shooting, right? I was going to say. Or some blind fire?

100% blind firing over some crates or something. And we won't see. I reckon we won't necessarily see anybody take a bullet. He's going to kill somebody. He'll have to. Yeah, right, okay. Do you reckon there's going to be a section where, like, he's underwater and you think he's, like, an exotic locale

and he comes up and he's in the Brooklyn River or something? Yep. It's in four. Okay. Where you think he's exploring exotic treasures. Yeah, right. But he's in, like, he works in a tugboat on a river in Jersey or some shit.

I don't know. Yeah. Anyway, that's. He's getting a lobster out of a lobster tank in a, in a restaurant. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Maybe. Have you got any more letters or is that all the letters?

I've got all the letters too, yeah. There are a bunch more letters, but I didn't, I didn't get to all the letters. Of course, Mason. We get letters and that's good. Thank you everybody for all the letters. I love the letters. Again, hashtag We're Through Planet Pod. I think I should give up on this because, you know, we get them, but we don't, I'm not

getting the letters amount that you're getting. Oh, I see, right. Yeah, yeah, I understand. Should I just like stop this or should I say just tweet us directly? Would it be easier? Or hashtag weeklyplanetpod? Should I keep hammering down on that? I don't know, James.

Because otherwise I have to do it before the show and I tweet out like, got any questions? Oh, yeah. And then we get like 200. I'm like, I don't want that though. I don't want them all at once. You should say, are there any questions for the Weekly Planet pod, bearing in mind

you have to count them all yourselves and there's a 10 question cut off. Oh my goodness. And then by 10 people just have to stop. It's an honor system. That would be great. Right? People won't stop. They'll be like am I the 10th one? Actually, I'm breaking your rules. Yeah. And then what will you say to me, the one who did that?

Block. That's fair. I just quietly will you say to me, the one who did that? Block. Oh, that's fair. I just quietly mute people who annoy me. That's what I do. How do you get all my messages then? I save them up. I read them all at the end of the week. I just get them all out at once.

And then mute them again. Okay, yeah, yeah, nice. That's the show. That is the whole show. Thank you everybody so much for listening. We very much appreciate it. We do. People doing all right?

What are you doing all right? Did people have a spooky holiday weekend? Spooky? Spooky in a good way or spooky in a bad way? All right. Hope not. Did anybody else forget to write off Mulan on their tax return? Oh, my God.

I hope so. Yeah. But anyway, thank you for listening and telling a friend and subscribing and leaving a nice review. James, you got one there? Reviews help big time, mate. That's right. People can do it in-app.

It's as easy as Kendo Karate has said. Five stars. So the world's imploding, but this is good. James and myself found the perfect edge of nihilism and hope to keep pumping out Ripper content for seven years? I've been listening. You know how it feels when you feel like you're friends with people and you don't know you exist?

Yeah. This podcast is a lot like that. Keep up the banger work, guys. Thank you. When you feel like you're friends with people and you don't know you exist, yeah, this podcast is a lot like that. Keep up the banger work, guys. Thank you. Do something like this or you can do it from Blake with a million ease. It says, James and Mason, invite Scott the Woz on an episode. Why don't you?

I'd love to have Scott the Woz. If Scott the Woz was ever in the country and ever knows who we are, yeah, 100%. See you about again. He does like retro gaming stuff. It's like in his early 20s. He's cool and hip and new and we need that kind of edge. We need to bring him in so that he'll promote our brand. And then rip him limb from limb and drink his blood.

Exactly. And then we'll be Scott the Woz. Well, that's an open invitation, Scott the Woz. If you are listening, we will rip you to pieces and drink your blood. Don't tell Scott the Woz we're going to murder him though. We're not going to murder him. Oh, so he's going to be alive? No, he will.

I mean, I assume that that will. We're just going to rip his limbs off and drink the blood. I mean, I assume the lack of blood will kill him eventually. He'll anic and Skywalker out of it. He'll be alright. Yeah, perfect. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Great stuff. What else, Mason? If you'd like to get into contact with the show, you can go to Weekly Planet Pod on Facebook and
