Joining me as always is my co-host, Nick Chip Danger Cock Mason. Not my real nickname. Hello. Hello, James. Nice to be here. Hello, listeners.

Wow. What a week it's been. You know what? It's our very special Christmas episode. Is it? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Should we do anything?

I do love... Do you love Christmas? No. I don't love Christmas either, but I do love very special Christmas episodes of things. Like, the more incongruous the better like I like it when it'll be like CSI Miami or something like that something where there's like horrific murders

and awful but there's also the magic of Christmas like you know a dozen more Santas will be murdered or whatever and they'll be laid out on slabs or whatever. And they'll have to solve, find the killer or whatever. But at the end of the episode, it all loops around.

And one of the characters is like, but wait a second. If that Santa was locked up all night in the jail, who ate the milk and cookies off the shelf? And then they run to the window or whatever. And you just hear, ho, ho, ho, and like sleigh bells jingling. And the implication is in this world of horrific murder

that Santa is real. I enjoy that. So anyway, hopefully. So Merry Christmas. We'll have some Christmas magic in this, I think. Look, I don't hate Christmas, to be fair. I don't like a lot of the build-up. And that thing you just said there is amazing.

It is, isn't it? But yeah. Who wants to hang out with people Ugh Gross I'd rather be in this weird Completely empty room Nothing on the walls

No No natural light It's great Stay in here Yeah There's been a lot of A lot of stories this week Comic book and movie related

New trailers Shenanigans Afoot Uh huh You Shia LaBeouf. We've got to talk about that, right? Absolutely we do.

What? What a silly Billy. What a bit of a goose, mate. So it started basically, he made the short film, which I cannot remember the name of. Doesn't matter. Which I had not seen because it got taken down. It did. It was up and then it became Password Protected and then it disappeared.

Yeah. And he played at a few film festivals last year and it played taken down. It did. It was up and then it became password protected and then it disappeared. And he played at a few film festivals last year and it played super well. People were like, Because it was really well written. You know, this kid's a genius, bloody blah. Within hours of it going online, though,

the comparison was drawn between that and what was the comic book called? I can't remember off the top of my head. Should have written it down. This is why I write everything down. But anyway, it's a Daniel Klaus comic book called? I can't remember off the top of my head. Should have written it down. This is why I write everything down. But anyway, it's a Daniel Klaus comic book. Yeah, that's the one. Who is probably best known to mainstream audiences

as the guy who wrote Ghost World, which became the film with Scarlett Johansson. Yeah, yeah. So, great writer. And why wouldn't you steal his work verbatim for a film and not attribute it? What kind of apology is that though as well first of all

the apology was plagiarised yeah that's I know right which is baffling baffling but like I've got a little bit of it here

and it's things like trying to there's so many that's the problem so many it was like I owe it to future generations uh huh

you know to explain my actions like what has that even got to do with anything? Like, just admit fault, shut up, credit him, I don't know, take it down, give him some money, do whatever. Don't plagiarise a number of different people. Just shut your mouth, delete your...

Yeah, like, apparently there's a... He plagiarised the apology of Shepard Fairey who made that Obama Hope poster and he copied the initial image to Photoshop over the top and he apologised and Shia LaBeouf's taken that one. There's like a Mark Zuckerberg apology that he... What? It's bizarre. He also took one from a random post on the internet,

the one that's copyright isn't particularly creative work, being inspired by someone else's work to produce something new and different is creative work, which he stole. Also, that's bullshit, that quote. You've just stolen something and pretty much done it word for word. That's not creative in any sense. It's the opposite of that. Yes. And there's even this incredible plagiarism. It sounds like he's got a problem.

Sorry, Justin, Mike, go on. Like, as opposed to, like, he did this because he wanted to make money or anything like that. Like, you might actually have some sort of issue. Yeah, no kidding. Like, there's even, there's one here where, if you go to his website, which is called Campaign Book, the About page has been copied verbatim from another website called Picturebox. Why is Picturebox? Because I love the things I love and I want to champion them.

I tend towards outliers and I'm obsessed with the history of visual culture writ large and small. He's shyer. Why the Campaign Book? Because I love the things I love and I want to champion them. I tend towards outliers and I'm obsessed with the history of visual culture written large and small. Etc. It's a long paragraph and it's verbatim. It's bizarre.

Anyway. There's something going on there. Do you think it's some kind of weird star thing where you think you're untouchable or is he just crazy? I mean, it might be a coincidence. It could be a massive coincidence. Yeah, I mean, an infinite number of monkeys and an infinite number of typewriters might eventually write the complete works of Shakespeare.

Potentially, that's the thing here. I mean, he's rich. He probably has a lot of monkeys. I'm sure he does, yes. Hey, let's talk about monkeys. Perfect segue. Good job. Think about it.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes has a trailer. I wanted to yell about Charlotte Booth a bit more. Okay, no, no, go for it. No, it wants to be said, though, really. What a dickhead. Yeah, I know. I hope he gets less work than ever. Well, I mean, that's sort of...

That's... He was Hollywood's it guy for a while. Which always baffled me. It's baffling, but I think the idea is that certain people get hired for work, for a role, and then all the other film production houses go, this guy is something. Yeah. These people have taken a chance.

He must be the next deep guy. We should all give him a role now. Yeah. So when he hits big, you know, we've got him on the... And if he's doing three or four movies a year over three years, that's a lot of... But then, of course, that sort of rolls around and people go, actually, he's not that charismatic or interesting. And then it sort of dried up.

I call it Sam Worthington syndrome. I was going to say, that's very Sam Worthington, isn't it? He was in everything. Yeah. But Rise of the Planet... Sorry, not Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes got a teaser sequel, teaser trailer this week. Yep. Well, it got a teaser for the teaser and then it got the teaser trailer.

Great. It's a sequel to Rise of the Planet of the Apes, which is a prequel slash reboot to the hilarious Charlton Heston Planet of the Apes, which is hilarious. That movie is so unintentionally funny. Correct. Really good. Did you enjoy the first one, Rot Pota, I believe the acronym is? I haven't seen Rot Pota.

Really? I haven't seen it. It's pretty good. Yep. It's, you know, solid cast, but not really that inspired. It's a solid cast, but not really that inspired. James Franco's kind of dead-eyed. Really kind of strangely monotone performance, I guess.

Yeah, it's one of his art performances. I think it may have been one of the ones where he has gone into a mainstream film as an artistic goof. You know what he's like. Yeah, he would do that. Yeah, I think that's probably... But yeah, I haven't seen it, but he doesn't appear to be in this one. No, well, I think... Replace with Gary Oldman. Replace with... Really? Oh, no, there is Gary Oldman. There's another lead guy.

Gary Oldman, I think, is like the leader of a human resistance or some kind of human leader. I think it's said in the synopsis that James Franco, the reason he's not in it, is because he's dead. He actually supposedly died between the movies. I'm assuming he flew his weird snowboard glider into the side of a building.

He did, yeah. No, it doesn't say why he's dead. I think it was the virus got him that got unleashed at the end of the first one. Oh. Because the human population is decimated. They've been fighting the virus for four years, fighting each other for four years.

There's an uneasy truce between the humans and the apes. Uh-huh. And that truce is about to be broken. Ooh. So, yeah, I'm really excited for it, for a reboot to a series that got a reboot in 2001

with Tim Burton that's true, yeah, take three this is, the apes in that they look incredible, there are some bits where they're jumping around, they look a little fake, but the facial expressions and a lot of like Caesar in particular

Would you say they're better or worse than the monkeys in Indiana Jones 4? Starring Shia LaBeouf we did it again we segwayed again it's like an episode

of Seinfeld in here everything's coming together great they are they're about the same no they're infinitely better all the guys who did that weather did it

you know did Avatar Gollum all that kind of stuff all the good stuff all the stuff that kids love so yeah I think it's going

to be great then again maybe it won't be who knows it's got what's his name I think his name is Jason Clark

I might have got that wrong he's from Zero Dark Thirty he's a big well not upcoming he's been around for a while

he's like 44 but he's like he's apparently I think we talked about this last week John Connor he's up for John Connor Planet of the Apes he's in there he's apparently, I think we talked about this last week, John Connor. Yep. He's up for John Connor. Planet of the Apes he's in.

There's a bunch of other stuff that he's the it guy. He's the it guy. He's the Shia LaBeouf slash Sam Worthington of 2013 slash 14. Yeah, but I think infinitely better. And he's not a traditionally handsome man either. He kind of looks like a regular guy, which I like also. Huh. There you go.

Maybe I just like regular guys because I'm also a man of the people. I'd like to talk about Expendables 3. Okay, let's do that. Now, the teaser for Expendables 3, which we just watched. It was a bit, it looked like a P. Diddy video clip. There was a kind of a lot of, or like a America's Got Talent kind of like a promo thing, where they're all sort of walking in silhouette with some spotlights behind them. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know, man. Do you think they got them all in the room for that?

I doubt it. Getting them all together at the same time. They look a bit composited. Yeah. I'm looking at this still right here. Yeah. Yeah, no, I think you're probably right. I mean, it's pretty good. I mean, not good, but like it looks like they could have been in the same time. They look a bit composited. Yeah. Looking at this still right here. Yeah. Yeah, no, I think you're probably right. I mean, it's pretty good.

I mean, not good, but it looks like they could have been in the same room. Having not seen the first two, and that may surprise you... This may surprise you? I haven't seen them either. Okay, well, I was going to ask you, but I guess we don't know. Is there any moments where they're all on screen together? You know what? Who cares?

Who cares? That's actually a really good point. Okay, but let's talk about this cast. Sure. Some surprises. You know what, though?? Who cares? That's actually a really good point. Okay, but let's talk about this cast. Sure. Some surprises. You know what, though? I just want to say, they've got the Bridge Over the River Choir theme tune playing. Yep.

Yep. I didn't do that very well. Uh-huh. Which, not that I took offense to that, but I just went, ugh. Because I love the Bridge Over the River Choir. Uh-huh. That's a fucking amazing movie. Yeah. It's got Alec Guinness from the 60s.

It's not exactly historically accurate in any sense because at the end they blow up a bridge and in real life that bridge was never blown up. That's fine. That movie's amazing. And I just went, ugh. Don't use that. It'd be like somebody using the Great Escape theme.

But also, that is also... Hitler has only got one ball. It's that. it has been used yeah it has been around for longer than that so are they going to fight Hitler in this

I hope so yeah I think they're probably going to fight Hitler I can't remember who the villain is one of Hitler's kids or something

great Darren Hitler Darren Hitler yeah yeah but yeah it's I just find that

disgusting because I think the Expendables movies are bullshit quite frankly not having seen them I fell asleep during the first one. But yeah, do you want to talk about the cast? You've got the picture there. Well, I've got the picture here. I mean, from what I can tell, there's a couple of changes

from the previous one. Antonio Banderas is in this one. Yeah, I like him. As some sort of swashbuckler, presumably. Swashbuckler. A swashbuckler, yes. This says grammar, so I'm going to assume Kelsey Grammar. It is Kelsey Grammar. It actually is Kelsey Grammar. I love Kelsey Grammar. It actually is Kelsey Grammar. I love Kelsey Grammar.

Wait a second, is he in this? I don't think he's in the picture. No. But I know for a fact he is in that. The big names are really, though, well, big names. Wesley Snipes. Wesley Snipes, out of prison. Out of prison.

Maybe he's on work release, I don't know. Pay your taxes, everyone. Pay your goddamn taxes. Mel Gibson. Racist Mel Gibson. America's own Mel Gibson. You sure? Yeah?

We don't want him. Nope. Getting his third or fourth chance there. And of course, probably the biggest name. Grumpy old Harrison Ford. Grumpy old Gramps. There he is. Now, the second Expendables movie, which I haven't seen, but I've seen clips of it,

a lot of it is them, like Bruce Willis is in it, who didn't come back for this one because he demanded more money, and Sylvester Stallone threw a fucking shit fit, and read on this Twitter tirade about how Bruce Willis is selfish and blah blah blah.

It's hard to do a Twitter tirade, you don't have a lot of characters. No, and even though he's a writer, he's not the brightest man, selfish and blah blah blah. It's hard to do a Twitter tie, right? You don't have a lot of characters. No. It takes a long time. Even though he's a writer, he's not the brightest man. Right. And he seems like a big dickhead. I'm sure he's fine. Yeah. But um, yeah, apparently though it's just a series of catchphrases. So like I know somebody

says, who's the big, Terry Crews says to Schwarzenegger at one point, give me my gun back or you're terminated. Right. And Alan Schwarzenegger at one point says, I'm back. So they just switch catchphrases. Pretty much.

Fantastic. But I made a bet on my most recent video, because Harrison Ford's wearing a flight suit in it. Yep. And if he doesn't say, get off my plane, I'm going to film myself, put a gun in my mouth, and blow the top of my head off. He might say, get off my plane. I'm going to film myself, put a gun in my mouth and blow the top of my head off. He might say get off my plane. If I'm wrong. He might say that he can do the Kessel Run

in 12 parsecs. He might say that. What's another thing? I'm Amish. You know what? Stallone might say I love you, Harrison Ford and Harrison Ford will be like, I know. It's just, I don't know. The whole thing smacks of desperation. And I know that, again...

Like retirement funds. Like retirement funds. I know they're not for me or for you. Even though we like action movies, I think we like things that are generally a little bit smarter, I guess. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, you know, I don't know, man. I think I'll see it because I'm doing more videos and stuff

and doing this podcast I'll probably see this one you're going to force yourself into a break yeah I'm going to have to see it well that's a re-endorsement

20th Century Fox just put that on the poster I suppose I'll have to see it because I'm doing more videos on the internet yeah so there you go

we got one more trailer? yeah we do we just watched this one I wasn't going to talk about it but it's pretty interesting transcendence transcendence Wally Pfister yeah

Pfister Pfister yeah sure he was he was of course Pfister Pfister

I'm going to go with Pfister that's good I like that yeah it's going to go with Frista. That's good. I like that. Yeah, it's good. It rhymes with Barista. Ooh, Mediterranean. Sure is.

Wally... Frista. Yeah, who's the cinematographer for a lot of Christopher Nolan's work, Dark Knight movies, Inception, probably a bunch of other stuff. Well, it certainly looks great. Sure does. Johnny Depp. Yeah.

It's interesting to see him in non-Captain Jack Sparrow. Like regular clothing and doesn't look like Mick Jagger's... Keith Urban. Keith Urban. Keith Richardson, yeah. So it's his first movie, not Johnny Depp. He's done a couple. He's done one or two.

But it's Wally Fifth's first directorial debut. I love stories about where the human mind... You need to stop there. I love stories. You know, just a man at a hearth of a fire, just talking about life, you know? Yeah. But I like stories about...

Sam's worked the shoeshine booth at the Grand Central Station for 45 years. He's got a lot of stories no okay I'm sorry that's fine okay I was going to

say I like stories where people get their mind uploaded into a computer or it's about singularity where it gets

to the point where technology is artificial intelligence is smarter than humans and the implications of that

but I love all that kind of stuff and so I'm excited that this isn't going to be kind of like a lawnmower man movie. I was just going to say it could be a bit of a lawnmower man movie. It seems like a proper, smart, intelligent kind of trailer. Can I say though, in this trailer, I get the sense. You know how every once in a while you watch a trailer and then later you realise that

they've put the very last scene or the very last play of the film in the trailer. They might have done this here because right at the end of the trailer... This film also has a lot of Iron Man 3... Cast. Yeah, it does. The woman, Maya Hansen, from Iron Man 3. Paul Bettany, voice of Jarvis.

Paul Bettany. How did that happen? Anyway, but there's a moment in it where Maya Hansen what's her actual name doesn't matter I can't remember she says

Rebecca Wall yes there we go I was going to say Rebecca Black I nearly did different thing different genre sorry go on

we're not cutting edge music reviewers we're cutting edge movie reviewers that's what we do here but anyway she says where are you going to go

and he says everywhere and then you see this sort of black dust floating off. I feel that might be he's got some sort of nanotechnology and he's going off to explore the solar system. I think that might be the last thing in the film. And they've given it away.

Also, I've got the script here and I've just read it off there. So, spoiler alert, everybody. How do you like that? No, I don't know. But I think that's how it's going to end. That plays out. Yeah, because it does in that way, doesn't it? That's spoiled. No, I don't. I don't know. But I think that's how it's going to end. Mate, that plays out. Yeah, because it is. Yeah, it does in that way, doesn't it?

There's a whole lot of black dust, and then it goes vroom, and it stops real suddenly. Yeah, yeah. The vroom is the newest thing, I think, in trailers. I think there was some in Gravity, a bit of vroom. Yeah, there was a bit of vroom. Yeah. I'm really looking forward to that, though. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. We've got more news? Do we have more news? Oh, I've got a stack of news. Yeah, let's talk about news. I've got a stack of news, mate. Okay, I'm ready. The Avengers Age of Ultron.

Yep. There's been a casting call for someone to fill the role of like a 40-year-old slash 50-year-old kind of imposing man. And I think it's for Baron Von Strucker, you know, the Hydra agent. I'm not sure. Okay. So, apparently, well, this is the rumorour, according to Latino Review, who people say, we never get anything right.

Are you allowed to go to that website? Yeah. You're not Latino. Oh, I thought you meant because of the coming from movie thing. Yeah. I'm a little bit Latino. I'm not Latino. Not at all.

Look how wide I am. You're so wide. You can see through me. I can see. Yeah. Anyway. Yeah, and he's Baron Von Strucker

it might be they say at the start of the movie where the Avengers kind of deal with him and that's like the first little kind of introduction

to the movie so they got you know a classic-ish kind of Marvel villain then you lead up to Ultron so fight a Nazi fight a robot

that's what I say absolutely that is a formula for success I'm glad they finally pinned it down. Fight a Nazi, fight a robot. Doug Ray Scott, the name was floated around.

You familiar with him? He was going to be Wolverine at one point, right? He was going to be Wolverine. Is he small and scrappy? I don't know. Wish we knew anything about any actors from Hollywood. I know, right? It would be nice.

So handy for this. Yeah, it would be great. But no bother. What made me sad about Doug Ray Scott, he was going to be one of the next big things and he pulled out

of X-Men for whatever reason Hugh Jackman ended up getting the role then he appeared in Mission Impossible before that he appeared in Mission Impossible 2

which is easily the worst Mission Impossible movie he's got a denim three piece suit on in that film how did that happen it's not the 70s mate

it's Australia though yeah okay good point and that's how did that happen it's not the 70s mate it's Australia though yeah okay good point and that's how people perceive this country god that was

absolutely the worst that was John Woo bullshit that was the ultimate because John Woo's

films up until that point had all been great and yeah okay good pretty good yeah well he's foreign films anyway

yeah but that's at that point where they were like, okay, John, every element of what you do, we've put them on a whiteboard. Do them in every scene. Dubs.

Slow motion, spinning around on motorcycles. Everybody's got a gun in each hand. At one point, there was like four people on screen and there were 22 guns. Too many guns. That movie, I remember watching it at the time.

Tom Cruise, amazing hair in that movie. Oh, so good. That was his best hair. That was his best hair. He brought that

hair back from Mission Impossible 3, I think. Yeah. Or was it 4? Might have been 4. Yeah.

Yeah. But that's not a good movie. Anyway, what was I saying? I can't remember. Dude Ray Scott. Yeah, he was

next week then. Sam Worthington slash Shia LaBeouf. And then he turned up in Desperate Housewives so I'm like oh that's that's unfortunate

that's embarrassing for him and for you because you watch Desperate Housewives is that show still going I think it's cancelled I don't know

you know it is it's cancelled alright put your Wisteria Lane t-shirt on you silly geese I know

X-Men Days of Future Past news. Brian Singer has come out and said there was a sequence in the movie that has Rogue, Iceman, Professor X and Magneto rescue somebody or something, and that entire sequence has been cut, hence meaning Rogue is not in that movie at all. Anna Paquin, who was the next big Shia LaBeouf at one point. Yep, Miss Shia LaBeouf, they called her. She got the Miss Shia LaBeouf at one point. Yep. Miss Shia LaBeouf, they called her.

She got the Miss Shia LaBeouf award for the piano. Yeah, so she's not in it anymore. And she's in the trailer, briefly. Iceman is not in it? He's cut as well? Well, apparently she's the only one who's completely cut. That's a shame. Yeah, so she must have only been in that particular sequence.

But she was at the Comic Con panel. Yep. I'd say she's a pretty well-known member of the team at this point. Yeah, huh. But is it a big loss? Ah. And it is also a reminder to you... Thank you.

...that it's 30% future, 70% past. 70% past, yeah. Okay. I would have liked to see more Rogue. Yeah. Because at the end of X-Men 3, she's lost her powers. Yeah. Does she get them back or not?

I guess the answer is yes. But I don't know, that character had sort of an arc, where we meet her and then she finally finds her place in the X-Men family, and then she loses her powers. Will she stay in the family? Will she leave with the blah, blah, blah? Doesn't matter. She's out.

She's out, mate. The only thing I didn't really like about that character was, in the comics, when she takes a power, doesn't she keep it a lot of the time? Well, no, basically she... Well, she can replicate it, or...? No, no, she keeps the powers for a period of time, sort of depending on how long she touches someone. But she, at some point, you know, many, many years ago,

sort of got Ms. Marvel in a death grip for a really long time. And she went into a coma, like a really long-term coma. And as a result, Rogue permanently gained her powers, which is like strength, flight, invulnerability. Cool. Yeah, yeah. Okay, so there you go. So she's got those. Are you saying she should have those in the film?

I'm saying that I don't know that much about X-Men. There you go. Yeah. Yeah, sure, why not? Because really, it's just her running up and grabbing people. Yep.

Because she could be shot. Yeah, yeah. Well, she didn't really use those powers. She didn't in the first one because that was really the big plot point of that movie.

Oh, yeah, yeah. But she's never really used them extensively in an offensive capability. No. So, yeah. It'd be nice to see that work. Because I don't think...

Yeah, because she's not in the final battle is she of X-Men 3 doesn't she leave she does leave you're right yeah yeah yeah

and they get Kitty Pryde in yep one of the most excellent casting decisions in that movie which is not a good movie Kitty Pryde great choice

Alan Page Kelsey Grammer is beast also amazing choice Kelsey Grammer's an amazing choice for anything yes isn't he what a fucking legend

ok so another piece of news ah casting rumour ooh Joaquin Phoenix yep the poor man's

but alive river phoenix aww cut that out no he's amazing he's really good yeah leave it in though he's in this movie

Her which is out at the moment about an AI that he falls in love with you know I love an AI yeah you. I don't love the movie AI though. Do you love Bicentennial Man? Yeah, a little bit. Okay, great. Even though I know it's bad, I still kind of like it. It's rumoured that he's wanted by Warner Brothers for the role of Lex Luthor in Batman versus Superman. Thumbs down. Really?

Big potato head. Doesn't work. Have you seen him with a shaven head? No. Have you seen him in a suit? No, only Johnny Cash suit. Oh, yeah. Not the same. Western suit.

Do you remember that year where he lost his mind, pretended to, for a movie that nobody saw? Yeah, I do remember that. That was great. He grew the big beard and he just went on Tonight Shows and just took a dump on the host desk or whatever he did.

And then, yeah, nobody... I can't even remember the name of that film. I'm Still Here? I'm Not There? I'm Not There was the... Both of us are here. Yeah, no, but I'm Not There was the Bob Dylan biopic

With Cate Blanchett And etc etc And I'm still here Is a John Resnick song Lead singer of the Goo Goo Dolls For the movie Treasure Planet Which is an amazing movie

Why do you have that fact And no other facts That is amazing I stayed up all night Memorising that fact Great Oh for Christmas Yeah For the Christmas episode I understand sure That's it ladies and gentlemen That's what we did I stayed up all night memorising that fact. Great. Oh, for Christmas.

Yeah. The Christmas episode, I understand, sure. That's it, ladies and gentlemen. That's what we did for the Christmas episode. Treasure Planet slash Goo Goo Dolls fact. I think it's a good sign. That was great. That's an underrated Disney movie as well, by the way.

That's a good movie. Should I watch it tomorrow or no? No. Yeah, don't. So you really... I thought it was great. And you know why I thought it was great? Because I didn't think of it for one, and I like being surprised. I don't think of a lot of things, sure.

But when I heard it, I went, it's a little bit inspired in the sense that they didn't just go, who's a bald guy? That's true, yeah. They thought outside the box. Who's menacing? Who's got a lot of screen presence? Who's, you know, a little bit hot? What they probably did, though, is they probably, there's menacing, who's got a lot of screen presence, who's a little bit hot. What they probably did though, is they probably, there's like an iPhone app where you take a photo of somebody

and then it shows you what they look like bald. And they probably got like a Musk Weekly magazine or whatever and took a photo of Joaquin Phoenix and they're like, oh, pretty good. Pretty good. Yeah, but you're against it because of his potato head. I think he's menacing enough. He's played a villain before. He is menacing, you're right. You're right, he's got evil head. I think he's menacing enough. He's played a villain before. He is menacing.

You're right. He's got evil eyes. He's got evil eyebrows as well. Okay, you've turned me around. Good. Is that all? Yeah. I don't know what else to say.

I think it's cool. Okay, good. Okay. Of course, that has to be taken with a grain of salt because there's other names that have been rumoured. Mark Strong because he's bald. Yep. Brian Cranston because he can be bald. Yep. Bryan Cranston. Bald. Because he can be bald.

Yep. And as recently as last week, they were talking Idris Elba and Denzel Washington. So who knows? As a team. As a team. Hey, we're Lex Luthor. We're the black Lex Luthor twins. Parallel universes?

I don't know. We don't look the same, but it's fine. Racist people can't tell. Hee hee. Oh, racism. Okay. In another piece of casting news. That would be better if it was Idris Elba. can't tell. Oh, racism. Okay, um, in another piece of casting news.

That'd be, if it was Idris Elba, that'd be two kind of, that'd be twice that he's gotten people up in arms for being Yeah. For being just a black guy who gets a job in Hollywood. I know, right? Like, we're so mad that he, oh no. We're so mad that a fictional character isn't how I imagined that fictional character to be.

Don't you reckon, though, he'd be a killer Lex Luthor? He'd be really good, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And if we said that he wouldn't be, that would mean we're racist. Yeah. Dodge that bullet. Okay, another piece of casting news.

A true piece locked in fact. Marvel have confirmed Paul Rudd is Ant-Man. That's great. I enjoy that a lot. You cool with that? Yes. I suppose it depends which Ant-Man it is. great. I enjoy that a lot. You're cool with that? Yes. I suppose it depends which Ant-Man it is. He's not going to be Hank Pym, is he?

They haven't announced that yet. Because there's... There's Scott Lang, Hank Pym, and... And Eric O'Grady, who's the arsehole one. Yeah, that's right. Didn't he beat women or something? Is that what... No, no, no.

Hank Pym beat up his wife once. Okay. I mean, a couple of times. Why? Because he's got problems. Don't we all? Yeah, but anyway, they're probably not going to use that.

Maybe they will, I don't know. Anyway, we're against that. Eric O'Grady is the most recent one. He had his own series for about 12 issues called Irredeemable Ant-Man and he was like a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent like a

low ranking one who found the Ant-Man like an Ant-Man armour in S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters and just used

it to like perv on women and like steal stuff as we all would yeah absolutely yeah and it's sort of this

his journey into becoming sort of kind of a hero which I think that would work that would work with Paul Rudd

it's probably going to be Scott Lang because if Hank who's creating Ultron in Age of Ultron they say journey into becoming sort of kind of a hero. Okay. Which I think that would work with Paul Ryan. Yeah. It's probably going to be Scott Lang. Because if Hank, who's creating Ultron in Age of Ultron? They say Tony Stark. Ah, then it could be

Hank Pym. Yeah. Okay. I prefer Hank Pym I think. Just go with the original. Yeah.

But you know. Also Pym's fun to say. Pym, Pym Particles. I know the Pym Particles have escaped. Quickly retrieve the Pym Particles. It's so vague. I love Pym Particles have escaped. Quickly retrieve the Pym Particles. It's so vague.

I love Pym Particles because they're so vague. You'll feel the bite of power. Yeah, yeah. How does he... Does he rub them under his... Does he rub them on his neck? Does he spray them in front of him and then leap through like he's putting on cologne? I don't know. He probably... I think it's one of those ones where they just keep it in their belt buckle. Yeah. And he's like, I've gotta be Ant-Man. I'll just just keep it in their belt buckle. It's like, I've got to be Ant-Man. I'll just push the release in my belt buckle.

And then... Yeah, then... Pimple articles. I'm shrieking. You know what I hope they utilise as well? And it's Edgar Wright, so it probably will. I hope they go the other way where they show that he can be giant. Yeah.

That would be cool. Because I think a lot of people aren't aware that he could do that also. But, you know. We'll see. We will see. Now, he apparently, there was a few other people in contention, rumoured.

One of them, Simon Pegg, that was more of a rumour. Because there was that picture where he's pointing to, there's a picture that he took at Marvel headquarters who was visiting Edgar Wright and he's pointing to a picture

of Ant-Man. And everyone, including me, was convinced that he was Ant-Man or involved of Ant-Man and everyone including me was convinced that he was Ant-Man or involved in Ant-Man he still might be maybe he'll be Hank Pym maybe

or maybe he'll be Doug Ray Scott or maybe he'll be Idris Elba and the other one was Joseph Gordon-Levitt which I could see also yeah that works

but I'm kind of glad they went with Paul Rudd you know what's weird though they're going with a lot of older actors Paul Rudd's 44 looks amazing so a lot of the Avengers cast they're going with a lot of older actors Paul Rudd's 44 looks amazing so a lot of the Avengers cast

they're like mid 40s a lot of them yeah I'm cool with that yeah these young kids these kids

can't be responsible for superpowers I think the youngest must be Chris Hemsworth who's technically the oldest in the Avengers yeah cool

cool any more news that's a lot of casting news That's a lot of casting news. That's a lot of casting news. Should we talk about casting? I'll tell you what. Yes. I was thinking that.

Yep. Comic book movies have a long history of casting. Are you familiar with that? Casting like actors? Yes. To like play characters in the films?

Yes. Yes. Huh. Good fact to have. I wanted to ask you because I think you mentioned this a couple of weeks ago. Who do you think is the definitive perfect choice for a person role in a comic book movie?

It's J.K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson. That's the best. It is the best one. You'll see a comic book character and you're like, I wonder who would be great for that, and you see him on screen, and you're like, yeah, that's pretty accurate. Dead on. No matter what you think of J. Jonah Jameson, he's bloody nailed that. He's nailed that role.

I mentioned the last time we talked about this, I want to see a J. Jonah Jameson film. It's two hours. It's just a shot of him sitting at his desk, and he's just yelling at people that come in. And maybe there's, like, explosions behind him, like, out the window. Maybe Spider-Man's fighting Doctor Octopus or Hobgoblin

or something like that. It doesn't matter. It's never referred to. It's just him yelling at people and maybe knocking his phone off the computer

off his desk because he doesn't understand it. That'd be great. Yelling at his wife out of the phone. Do you care whether it's set in the

Tobey Maguire universe or the current universe? Ah, no. It could even be set in the real world it's just just not a lot it's just yelling it's fine i would i would see that forever so that's the greatest casting ever yeah but at the same time in those movies i think toby mcguire terrible choice for spider-man i i know you're not alone in thinking that. Is it his mopiness? It's mopiness. He's kind of like, he's got

a chubby boy face. But he doesn't strike... He never at any point strikes me as a high school student. No. Just a chubby boy-faced man who's in a high school for some reason. Even though Andrew Garfield was older than

Tobey Maguire when he was in his version. Maybe it's the hair. It might be the hair. He's got great hair in that. He does have great hair. He's still, Andrew Garfield definitely looks younger. But he's only a student in that very briefly. Or a high school student anyway. But yeah, it was a, I wouldn't say it would put it down

so much to his performance as in some of the writing for that character. He's not very fun. No, he's really not fun, yeah. Credit, or do credit for him for working out like of the writing for that character. He's not very fun. No, he's really not fun. He has a lot to deal with it. Uh-huh. All due credit for him for working out like a mad dog for that movie.

Like a mad dog. Yeah. Because he looked amazing. Medicine balls. Yeah. Yeah, medicine balls. Yeah. Well, that was like

Leonardo DiCaprio apparently wanted the role and a bunch of other people. No, not Leonardo DiCaprio. Not high school level. No, that would... I'd watch one scene Not high school. No, I'd watch one scene of that. I'd watch the

Saturday Night Live sketch of that where Leonardo DiCaprio is the guest host. DiCaprio. DiCaprio. Sorry.

Fishman. You know, where he's pretending to be Spider-Man and he's way too old for the role. That would be great.

But I would not watch him in that film. I could tell you the exact point where Leonardo DiCaprio stopped playing someone of school

age. Titanic? No. The one where he was running away from Tom Hanks. Run Tom Hanks wrong.

Run Tom Hanks wrong, yeah. You'll never get me Tom Hanks. I'm Leonardo DiCaprio. Catch me if you can. There we go. The movie.

The movie. Yeah, because there's a bit of that where there's a bit that where he was a high school kid and that was pushing it because that was

like 2004 which means he would have been late 20s early 30s but anyway good on him good actor

so yeah what a series of contrasts I don't know look he's too dour for Spider-Man

isn't he he's too sad he is too puffy faced you're right. And by the third one, he'd clearly just stopped working out. Right, yeah. Because he's a little...

And, you know, fine. Look whatever you want to look like. Blade 3 syndrome. Blade 3 syndrome. You remember that one? Yeah. I mean, I don't have an issue with that. But, yeah, he's just...

There's a lot of long-sleeved shirts in that one. Yeah. Clearly, he's like, who cares? And Ryan Reynolds. You know what happened? He probably... Wesley Snipes probably started working out

and then Ryan Reynolds showed up on set just like, just a, just a beefcake man and then. Like a statue of David. Like a statue of David

and Wesley Snipes is like, you know what, forget it. Long-sleeve black shirts, all of them. Yeah. A layer of.

What a jerk. I got a best of worst though. I'm ready. Same movie, Spider-Man, original Spider-Man, for best. I think the first one

was called Spider-Man, original Spider-Man. It's, I think Willem Dafoe is an excellent green goblin. Yes, he is.

Even though the costume's not great. Terrible costume, I was just thinking that today. Yeah, but he is amazing. Yep. And I would even say,

what's the guy in the second one? Alfred Molonia? Yep, that's the one. That's also really good. But Willem Dafoe, what a great choice. He nails the dual characteristics.

Yep. He's got that weird goblin head. He's got a goblin head. See, exactly, they could have just, they could have just had some sort of like

thin kind of membrane over his face and be like, that's for soldiers in battlefields and it protects against gas attacks or whatever. Yep. But they had to do a robot face. Well, the funny thing is though, they actually tried an animatronic goblin face and there's

videos of it online and it looks a lot like the original kind of 60s green goblin. Uh-huh. Does it work? Yeah. Well, I mean, it's hard to say. I mean, it's only test footage. Right. It's interesting.

Hmm. It's better than a motorcycle helmet. Yeah, it's true. Does it look like Willem Dafoe? No. Not in any way. But neither does a motorcycle helmet. It doesn't look like him either.

Good point also. Yeah. He's brilliant. What a great dude. And he pops up in the other movies as well. Yeah, yeah. Just briefly in cameos. I think if that universe had have continued to this very day

as Tobey Maguire got wider and wider, then I think that would have brought him back. Probably, yeah. I mean, he's unkillable essentially.

He's always coming back. But did you say, did you have another one there? Did you have a worst one? I got a worst one. Yeah, I'm ready. This is a pretty obvious one. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Mr. Freeze. Okay, yeah, now that's alright. Especially because at that point, Heart of Ice had come out. The episode Heart of Ice from the Batman animated series. That is like the definitive Mr. Freeze story. Yeah. And it's tragic and it reinvents the character and they steal a lot from that. And then they're just like... That's making it ridiculous though. Yeah. Because he does have the frozen wife. He has the frozen wife. Yeah. And so he's got that motivation because he's stealing diamonds.

Yep, because it's Powers is Freeze race. Yeah. Mr. Freeze is an interesting character because, like, in his original appearances, he was, I think he was Mr. Zero, and he was just like a, he was a zero character. He was like this happy-go-lucky kind of, like, he just had this cheery face, and he had this kind of orange and magenta outfit. He just had a little freezy gun that looked like a beekeeper's steam gun. He just had some little adventures and stuff.

And then they brought, because they needed villains for the Batman TV series, they just brought him. They brought in Clock King, which they did really well. In the animated series, yeah. Yeah. And yeah, so they just, so he was just this nothing character until the animated series. Yeah.

Who knew that it would, that an animated series would bring actual character to a character. Yeah. He's one of the, I think he's one of the best Batman villains. One of the most sympathetic, one of the most interesting.

Great character in the Arkham games, or the second one in particular. I love beating that guy in the head. But you know what? What really annoyed me about that guy, and I know he's cold, but he's like, Batman, after you beat him up, he's like, Batman, they've taken my wife, fired my wife. And I'm like,

alright, I'm going to do this because I'm Batman. I'm not really Batman in the game, I was Batman. So I go and I find him, it's a whole thing and I come back it's a real ordeal it's a real ordeal took me a while

I come back and I'm like here's your wife Mr. Freese and he's like thank you Batman and he just turns back to his lab and I'm like

you fucking prick and if I could have killed him I would have yeah yeah or you could have just you could have just punched his wife's head off because she's frozen right

yeah what a jerk but you know they've re in the new 52 Batman uh huh Or you could have just punched his wife's head off, because she's frozen, right? Yeah. What a jerk. You know, they're in the new 52 Batman. Some people say this change is for the worse. Some people say it's for the better. I'd say it's interesting regardless. Mr. Freeze is trying to thaw out his dead wife, or his frozen wife.

In a microwave. In a microwave. In a really big microwave. What a twist. Bruce Wayne stops him and is like, you're fired. And so you're like, Bruce Wayne, what a prick. Bruce Wayne's the one responsible for Mr. Freeze going crazy.

But it turns out that's not his wife. That's a woman frozen from like the 50s or 40s. And he's just obsessed with her and he's got it in his mind that she is his wife. Okay, that is interesting

yeah I mean it makes him less sympathetic it makes him very less sympathetic and also where did the frozen lady come from

I don't know they've kind of combined because one of the clay faces in the comic books the first one

the one who's actually the actor no the third one the third one who has melty powers I think he's dead now

it doesn't matter he was in love with like a mannequin like the movie mannequin yeah like in

the movie mannequin sure with Kim Cattell Kim Cattrell Kim Cattrell Kim Cattrell

yeah some of the changes in the new 52 Kim drug Cattell some of the

changes in the new 52 I don't know I don't know if I care

for them I don't feel as connected with this new 52 like because don't know. I don't know if I care for them. I don't feel as connected with this new 52. Because I grew up with Tim Drake as Robin. Yep. The third one.

And now in the comic books, they've retconned it so he was never Robin. He was always Red Robin. Yeah. Don't like it. Don't care for it. Like the costume. Don't like that twist. Where were we?

I don't know. Do you have somebody else who's good or bad? oh let me find one boy let me okay here's one for you best casting yep

half of the Fantastic Four worst casting the other half of the Fantastic Four can I guess which? Chris Evans obviously great choice

yep The Thing yes those two other two awful Chickless Chickless incredible great kind of rough kind of tough street smart shit suit yeah rubbish awful the wow just terrible see come on cgi that yeah i'm gonna cgi nothing else i think that would have been you are chris evans quite versatile because when you think about it it it's you know earnest genuine

Steve Rogers Captain America smug prick in Fantastic Four yeah absolutely yeah yeah completely agree with that not good movies

though I think we've said this before the second one's not as bad but I think that's because yeah we were let down so badly by the first one and then on the other hand we got

uh Yohan Griffin as just completely generic Mr Fantastic bad American accent just there's nothing to that I mean you put

you can put the salt and pepper at his temples but he's not no he's not Reed Richards at all well I think there's a reason why that guy didn't take off as a kind of leading man

Sam Worthington Syndrome Sam Worthington Syndrome yeah and he's really have you ever seen Hornblower oh yep it's not as sexy as you'd think as it sounds but he's really have you ever seen Hornblower oh yep it's not as sexy as you'd think

as it sounds but he's really good in that and I think he's a good British actor but as far as a mainstream kind of

they try to kind of push him as this kind of Clive Owen kind of guy but he's not in any way who would have been a better choice

Clive Owen as Reed Richards yeah sure okay yeah alright Statham Statham oh

Statham is the thing. Yeah. No, you know what? Bruce Willis is the thing. Yes. Voice-off. Yeah, that would work, yeah. Because you could not get Bruce Willis in a rubber suit.

Absolutely, not even for a second. What about Jessica Alba? Well, I mean, there was a lot of people like... Was she not sexy enough? She was certainly sexy. Enough? Yeah, enough. But, I don't know, not intellectual enough? She was certainly sexy. Enough? Yeah, enough. But I don't know.

Not intellectual enough. Yeah, fair point. I kind of enjoy in the Fantastic Four the contrast between Invisible Woman, Mr. Fantastic, they're the intellectuals of the team. But she's more heart, he's more head kind of thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not in the sexual way. Right, sure. Sorry. Didn't need to say that yeah. Not in the sexual way. Right, sure.

Sorry. Didn't need to say that, did I? Not at all. Edit that out. Keep it in. But then, yeah, just, again, generic. Yeah. Just, she was the girl at the time.

Yep. Terrell were in the film. Weird. Yeah. I got one. Go ahead. Sorry. No.

I've actually got here, I did you should mention that I'll come back to that one next Henry Cavill or Cavill Man of Steel Superman despite what you may think of that film

and I've said this before I know you love it I like it quite a bit a lot of people don't like it haters haters on the internet he is an amazing choice yep

and he was from day one he was nearly in he nearly got it when nearly got in the Superman Returns there was a one before that that I think McG was doing that he nearly got in

McG where he's actually there's a footage of him not footage there's a picture of him that just came online recently where he's wearing that suit so it's his

so he went in for it they put him in the suit and everything but he looks very much more like Superboy. Oh, I see. Because he would have been pretty young then, probably maybe 19, 20, maybe early 20s. But what a great choice, and just threw himself completely into it. The only thing I would say for him is they don't give him enough dialogue in Man of Steel.

I don't think he's as defined a character as I would have liked him to be. He's kind of, not vague in his motivations, but I would like to see him kind of more kind of, I don't know, talk about what he believes in and standing up for things and doing what's right. Yep. Saving more dogs. Yeah, saving more dogs. Exactly. Superman, he can be earnest. It's the same with Captain America. Captain America has proved it. You can be earnest without being a goof. Not everyone needs to be a fucking wisecracking Robert Downey Jr. type. Uh-huh.

Who does that very well. Yeah. But you've got... Good casting. Let's not cover that again, but just know that he's good. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, Iron Man is practically the Robert Downey Jr. story when you think about it.

Exactly. Yeah. But I think, yeah, he's got that kind of sincerity, and I hope they bring that to the second one. Yes. I think he's great. He's got that kind of sincerity, and I hope they bring that to the second one. Yes. I think he's great.

On the flip side of that, even though I don't... I think this more comes down to the movie than him, but Brandon Routh is a weird choice because they just picked him, and they did just do this. Because he looks like... Because he looks like Christopher Reeves. Right. He sounds like Christopher Reeves. Uh-huh. You shouldn't pick somebody based on that, because you're basically...

That movie is a love letter to the Richard Donner films. Uh-huh. Reeves. You shouldn't pick somebody based on that because you basically, that movie is a love letter to the Richard Donner films. Probably shouldn't spend $275 million on a love letter. I'm just saying, whatever it costs. So again, I don't hate him. I think it was $250 million on the movie and $250 million on the marketing. That sounds right. Yeah. And that was in 2006. That's a lot of money for 2006. Good gravy. So, I don't know man. I don't think he's bad in it. No.

It's just a weird choice that you would just cast a guy who's exactly like Christopher Reeves who also what an amazing casting choice. There you go. He's been good in other things. Yeah, I agree. I like him. He's good in Scott Pilgrim. He's good in Dylan Dog, Dead of Night. Not a good movie, but he's good in it. He's in Zack and Miri Make a Porno at the start.

Oh, yeah. And he's quite funny. He seems like a funny guy. Yeah. And I like him. And I feel bad that he's not in more stuff now. Let's put him in a film. Once we get our Audible money from that Audible spot.

Yeah, when are they going to do that? Who knows? But we'll put him in a movie once we do that. Yeah, sure. I like him. And I follow him on Twitter. I like him. But, you know, not his fault.

What does he do on Twitter? Not much. Mostly talks about his new kid. Ah, nice. Can I do one? Of course you can. Casting choices. Do it.

Okay, how about this? Best, just briefly, Nick Cage in Kick-Ass. Yep. As Big Daddy. Yep. Great one. Great one. Great stuff.

I mean, they tweaked the character from the comic books a little bit. A lot. Quite a lot. Because in the comic books, he's not... He's just an accountant. His wife left him. Yeah. Which sort of turns into child abuse.

Yeah. Because it's like, hey, let's throw my daughter into harm's way. I like that better, though. Yeah, it is fun. Because it makes him crazier. Yeah, yeah. And that would definitely makes him crazier. Yeah, yeah. And that would definitely fit with Nick Cage. Yeah.

Crazier. Worst, Nick Cage in Ghost Rider. Which one? The first one. No, not the second one. You know what? Only the first one, because the second one, you're like, well, Nick Cage is in this. Let's just deal with it.

Yeah. But the first one, because at the start of that film you say you see a young johnny blaze making a deal with with mephisto to to sell his soul yeah and that handsome what have you young good looking he would have been a better choice yeah as ghost rider in that and then it cuts flashes forward to like washed up old johnny blaze melted candle johnny blaze yeah and he's got the dumbest looking wig you've ever seen. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, it's that weird painted on effect. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, okay. And it looks like, I don't know, I don't even know what that hair is. Like it doesn't suit his face. The hairline's all wrong. Uh-huh. It's just, wow, what were they thinking? Yeah, yeah. And again, you know what, those two films show the versatility of Nicolas Cage.

Crazy Nicolas Cage. Have we discussed this on the podcast? We may have. If you remember, cut this out. People write in, don't write in. Nicolas Cage's choice of roles, there's got to be... There's got to be... Is there a method to that madness?

I wonder. Like... Because he works a lot. He does a lot of films. He does. Probably because he's got crazy spending habits. Yeah. Like, he outbid Leonardo DiCaprio on a dinosaur skull once, I think.

Maybe that's made up. I don't know. I've heard that too, yeah. But, you know, I think his casting process must be, like every three or four months, his agent comes into his house, right? And he's just got a big stack of scripts and he's like, okay, Nicolas Cage,

he's... Put down the dinosaur skull. Put down the dinosaur skull, first of all. Here's, okay, we've got an action film, we've got a sci-fi film, we've got like a quirky kind of independent adaptation style film. You can have a supporting role in this Oscar

bait film, whatever, and then Nicolas Cage just walks over and he grabs the first one off the pile and just goes, that one. Whatever that is, I'll do it. I guess that's it, but you know what? I think the only reason I would say there might be some method to his madness is because it's like

four or five shit films in a row entertaining nonetheless usually well he is and then an amazing performance and then everyone goes

oh no he's back he's not back just wait wait one film and then it's four or five shit films in a row and he's back

you know so I think in that sense he's smart enough to know I'm just going to do a bunch of schlock for a bit of cash, take a bit of a pay cut. Buy some paleontological remains of some sort. Make the weatherman.

Yep. Precisely. Or, that's probably not a good example. The family man. The family man, yeah. And then, yeah, that's what I think his process is. Yeah, yeah. I think he's smarter than people give him credit for.

I think he's crazy. people give him credit for I think he's crazy definitely but you know as an Oscar winner he's certainly made better choices than say

Cuba Gooding Jr oh my god yeah has he ever made a good film uh okay he was in Pearl Harbor no

he was in Daddy Day Camp oh yeah good point I retract my entire argument he's not been in a good film since I just watched Don John with Joseph Lele. It's a great movie. Who's in that? Briefly. He's in a

clip of a made up film within the movie. Does that make sense? Yeah. So I guess he's in that. Right. It's like a three second clip. Fantastic. Dice Clay's in that, right? Andrew Dice Clay? Not what I'm saying. In Don John? No, no, you're thinking of, who's the boss? Tony Danza. Tony Danza. I'm pretty sure Dice Clay's in that, right? Andrew Dice Clay? Not what I've seen. In Donjon? No, no, you're thinking of, uh, who's the boss? Tony Danza.

Tony Danza. I'm pretty sure Dice Clay's in that. I think you're thinking of a different movie, because he just, Dice Clay just did apparently turn in some amazing performance. Huh. And I can't remember what it's in. There you go. Yeah.

I got one for you. Dice Clay News. Yes? Dice Clay. What do you got? I had another thing that linked from the Nicolas Cage thing. Ah, maybe I'll think of it later. Is it that he's crazy?

Is it something to do with him being crazy? Dinosaur skulls. Dinosaur skulls. I've got Chris Evans. Come back to it if you... I will. I'll come back. Okay.

Chris Evans as Captain America. I know we just briefly talked about this. When he got cast, I wasn't worried for one reason. Even though a lot of people didn't see this movie, he's in Sunshine. Yep, okay. Which is probably my favourite movie of all time. Wow, big call. At least top five.

Is that a Danny Boyle film? It's a Danny Boyle film. I think it's Danny Boyle's strongest film and it tanked, but I think it's amazing. Even though it becomes like a... I mean, it's a documentary about Sunshine and people are really not interested in that. Like it's a docudrama about the guy who discovered Sunshine. The scientist. It is.

Yeah. But it's a, for those who haven't seen it, it's basically about this team who go to the sun to basically restart it because the sun is dying.

And it sounds dumb, but it's got an amazing international cast. It's a really solid sci-fi film. And Chris Evans plays this kind of American, he's not,

he's kind of, I can't remember what his particular job is on the mission, but he kind of keeps everyone in check. His job is to get the stick and put it in the big bit of wood and just sort of swizzle it between his hands and get the spark going. That was his job in the film. And then the stick flies off into space and they're like, no! And they have to retrieve the stick. And everybody else in the movie's like, oh,

we've got to do what's the right thing, you know, we shouldn't kill anybody or whatever. And Chris Evans is like, no, fuck it. The sun is dying. Everyone's going to die.

He's the guy who's like, we've got to do this, no matter what. And he's incredible in that movie. And after that, they're like, Chris Evans is Captain America. And I went,

yes. Because he is an amazing actor. You know, then that movie proves it. And also, Captain America proves it, because because he is an amazing actor yeah you know then that movie proves it and also Captain America proves it because he plays it earnestly

yep he worked out like a mad dog absolutely and it's great I mean maybe not so much towards the end but he's great

yeah definitely so there you go I like that character who would have thought that Captain America would play as well as it did because I know

they changed the name in the in the the United Kingdom to the First Avenger. Because I know in the UK he's a bit of a joke. Huh. And, um... He's not Captain Britain, certainly. Do you think they... Now that's a joke. That's...

Yeah. Yeah. You got one, sorry? Uh, hang on. I'm trying to think of some iconic British superheroes. The Avengers, but not the Avengers. Not superheroes. Doesn't count. The Leopard of Lime Street.

That's a real one. How do you like that? How do you like that, Paul? I've never heard of him. What about the Beef Vendetta guy? V. Not really a superhero. Nah. There's a lot of Super villains

Yeah There really are Yeah I know I mean Not not I don't mean villains With British accents I mean like

British created Yeah Oh Judge Dredd Judge Dredd There we go There's a There's a Okay best

I don't want to talk about Carl Urban You son of a bitch Carl Urban I snagged you on Carl Urban Judge Dredd Worst one

Sylvester Stallone God damn it I had this written down here. I just wrote it like two minutes ago. How do you like that? Let's talk about that. Okay. Carl Urban, what do you think?

Good. You know what? It's a testament to someone who can just act with the lower half of their face. Yeah. I mean, it's not earth-shaking acting. No. Or by any means. But he realised that the major drawcard of Joe Treader's

is he doesn't take the mask off. He doesn't take the helmet off at any point. The ego didn't enter into it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They weren't like, we've got to show his face because everyone wants to see Carl Urban. Yeah, yeah. Who's amazing, by the way.

Almost human, I've said this before. Great show. Great sci-fi show about AI. Yeah. He's really well cast in that movie. And that movie does have a lot of the slow-mo effects. They're really great. And it plays for a good reason.

Because a lot of slow-mo is done for no reason. And that makes a lot of sense. Because it's a drug. Like if you're on, say, a motorcycle spinning around and you've got four guns in your hands. Doves fly into your face. Yeah, definitely Great choice Sylvester Stallone on the other hand

What a prick Oh, that's right, you hate him From several minutes ago You just told me you hated him Look, he's good at that particular thing that he does I kind of like that But he pissed away his career Because it's so ridiculous

Like When I saw the trailer for the most recent Dread, I was against it because that universe sort of looks... It's not crazy sci-fi enough. No. But then, having watched it, it does make perfect sense. Like, there shouldn't be hovercars and, you know, etc, etc. Yeah. Because there's been a nuclear war And why do you need Hover cars

If your factories can already make Just pick up trucks It does make perfect sense when you think about it I do definitely have a soft spot For the insane Megacity one It's filled with freaks and flying cars It is a very funny movie

Even though it's not good I think, I remember I heard... It's got Mean Machine in it. Mean Machine. You can go with the dial on his head. It's got an ABC warrior which was like

the giant robot guy. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he fights mutants. Yeah, he fights mutants. With like a metal thing stapled to his head. Yeah, yeah, uh-huh. He spends most of the movie

without the mask on. I think it's like eight or ten minutes in he takes the mask off. Oh, and Amanda Sante mask off oh and Amanda Santay is in that Amanda Santay who's insane

in that movie but in a good way they're brothers in it or whatever yeah what a great movie great best casting

yeah I heard an interview with Mark Kermode you know he's a British film reviewer he's great he's probably my favourite film

Mark Kermode did you say Kermode yeah The Toilet is that his name yeah he's the best I love him great podcast as well everyone should listen. Mark Kermode, did you say? Kermode, yeah. The Toilet? Is that his nickname? Yeah, it's great.

He's the best. I love him. Great podcast as well. Everyone should listen to it. Kermode and Mayo. Anyway, or it might be Kermode, which I think is still the same. But he basically said he interviewed Stallone once in a car park about Judge Dredd, and they were talking about why... Were they about to fight?

Is that why? He broke a pool cue over his head and he gets him out of the parking lot and he's like, can I interview him about Judge Dredd before you beat me up? You know what annoys me also? Before you inject some horse human growth hormone

or whatever and fight me in a car park? You know what also annoys me about Judge, not Judge, Stallone, more so than Schwarzenegger? He thinks he's an actual, legitimate, tough guy. And that annoys me. He's very muscular and whatever. Do you remember when he got busted for trying to smuggle human growth hormone into Australia?

He did. So weird. You can't be without it for two weeks? Come on. I doubt he was even here for two weeks. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, it annoys me when people like that, like Seagal is the same. Yeah, yeah. And probably a little bit Van Damme. But he's a law man.

That's true. It's not true. That's true. Where probably a little bit Van Damme. But he's a law man. That's true. That's not true. That's true. Where they think they're legitimate tough guys. Right. And it just annoys me, because if you put that guy, and I'm not a tough guy, so this isn't coming from me going, I could beat him up, because I definitely couldn't. My point is, 90% of the male population could beat up Stallone.

Right. And he's under the impression that that's not the case. Oh, I see, right. Anyway, in this fight Carpark... So if you are 90% of the population of, say, America just all go to his house and beat him up. Do I say male population as well?

I'd say a lot of that is female population. Probably too, yeah. Thank you. Just to clear that clear the air there. Anyway, the Carpark and Stallone said, yeah, the problem was when I came on set and I had the suit on and the mask the problem with that movie was, nobody laughed. Like, none of the cast laughed. So he clearly didn't understand the character.

Judge Dredd isn't supposed to be funny. Oh, I mean... Not in that way. Not like, what a wacky costume. Yeah, that's true. I mean, I know it's satirical and blah-de-blah-de-blah. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, he is... I know it's satirical and blah blah blah Yeah What's weird is he's supposed to be an American character Who is a A satire of the fascism Of Thatcher's Britain Which is an odd place to start from Sure Yeah I do have a soft spot for that film but he's not Great

Rob Schneider's in it as well. Or Roy Schneider. Yeah. Or Roy Schneider, just fighting sharks all day. Yeah. Sequest DSV. I used to love that show. Yeah, and then they went to space.

Did they? Yeah. Oh, yeah, that's right. Look, Mark Hamill was in that briefly as well. We have diverged, so this is just us saying things now. Talking dolphin in that as well. Okay. There is, if you haven't seen it i think it's called minty yeah i haven't seen it but i know it's a judge dread

short film featuring that you know minor character judge minty as he goes sort of in the in the in the dread universe when you're a judge for for various reasons, you can take the long walk, which is you leave the megacity and you go out into the cursed earth and you just spend the short remains of your life just fighting mutants. And it's a short film about that. Is it like an honorable thing? Honorable way to go out or whatever? Yeah, kind of, yeah.

Cool. Yeah, and it's a short film about that and it looks really fantastic and it's quite good so it's sort of it's sort of a midpoint between the original Judge Dredd film

and the new one like it's like he's got the sort of the classic Judge outfit on yeah and it's

but it's quite it's more on the on the new Dredd tip well that movie tanked, unfortunately, as well. It did, so there'd probably be no sequels, which is a shame. Well, apparently it sold pretty well on Blu-ray,

and there's been petitions online for it to come back, but I don't think it will. Maybe there'll be a Thomas Jane-esque Punisher dirty laundry five-minute short film with Carl Urban in it. That'd be awesome. Can we talk about Punisher? Great casting. Ray Stevenson as the Punisher

looks fantastic in Punisher Warzone I don't have much to say about that no I don't have a worst no Thomas Jane he's still good

but you think Ray Stevenson Ray Stevenson has the look he has the kind of the Punisher Max sorry we've done

that before and yeah just that I don't know just just that tough edge. He looks like an old guy who's been just murdering the mafia for a long time. Yeah. And I think that's great, yeah. Yeah, he is good.

And he's in, um, he's Volstagg. In the Thor films. Yeah, yeah, totally, yeah. Okay, I've got one on the flip side of that then. Okay. Now, I don't know whether this is... Vin Diesel as the pacifier. Is that what you were going to say? That's what I was going to say.

Moving on. Now my next one, I don't know whether this is miscast or I just think this movie is terrible. I think it's a bit of both. Everything and everyone... Loves Raymond. In League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Yeah, no that's just a terrible film. Hang on, maybe somebody's good in that.

Nope, everybody's bad in that, you're right. The guy played Tom Sawyer. Sean Connery, I don't even know if that's miscast, but I think it's more that he doesn't seem to know what is happening. Correct. Last movie he ever did, and I think I've said this before, the only reason he did it is because he turned down The Matrix because he didn't understand

it. He turned down Lord of the Rings because he didn't understand it, and he didn't understand League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, but he thought, you know what, I'm not missing that again. And then he retired immediately after. So, there you go. I think that might just be that I hate that movie. I think that's probably it, yeah.

You got one? Let me think. Ron Perlman and Hellboy. Ah, I had that too. I also had with Ron Perlman, Doug Jones as H.A.P. Jeffrey Tambor as well. Yeah, Ah, I had that too. I also had with Ron Perlman, Doug Jones as H-Sapien. Jeffrey Tambor as well. Voice of, yeah, okay. Yeah, okay, I forgot about that.

Yeah, he's fantastic in that, yeah. Yeah. And Voice of H-Sapien, what's his face? It was Doug Jones in the sequel, but in the original it was Frazier's brother. Frazier's brother. There we go. David Hyde Pierce. David Hyde Pierce, there we go.

Yep, okay, good. We're tying it together again. Yeah. Seinfeld's happening again. Great movie cast yeah definitely Selma Blair I guess as well you know

that's a good choice it's fine don't get all over it it's fine Jessica Alba whatever doesn't matter yeah great choice

I mean Ron Perlman you'd think they would've picked a Ron Perlman because he's nearly 60 now I think he is 60 oh he's 60 now there you go

or more or less. Or exactly. Ages ain't nothing but a number, man. You know, you're only as old as you feel. Yeah. You know? Yeah. Ron Perlman probably feels pretty old.

Well, he says it's really taxing doing those movies because he's wearing, you know, 50 pounds of prosthetics. And he's always probably listening to one side because one of his hands is giant. You know, recently, actually,

he put all that makeup on again recently. I think I know where this is going. Ah, yeah. To visit a kid in hospital.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which I love. That's pretty good. I love that stuff. Yeah, yeah. You never see Stallone put on his Judge Dredd hat

and go in. You never see him put on his Expendables little beret thing, do you, eh? You might. Yeah.

You know, Stallone also hates comic book movies and he's like, they're not real action stars. Bleh. He said that before. Shut eh? You might. Yeah. You know Stallone also hates comic book movies. He's like, they're not real action stars. Bleh. He said that before. Shut up, Stallone. Yeah.

I'm really beginning to hate this guy. Maybe it's your influence. I don't know. I think it is. I thought he was a stand-up guy until this point. Yeah. Yeah. Prick.

Great demolition man, though. What a great movie. Yeah. Yeah. Perfect casting. I got one on the flip side. Okay, ready? Yeah. Are you ready or am I ready? I'm ready. Are you ready? I'm ready to listen. Yeah. Yeah. Perfect casting. I got one on the flip side. Okay. Ready? Yeah.

Are you ready or am I ready? I'm ready. Are you ready? I'm ready to listen. Okay. Good. This is actually auto-corrected on my iPad. It says, go for grace.

Fantastic. Obviously, go for grace as Vedim. I think he would have made a better Peter Parker. Yeah. A better than Tobey Maguire. Correct. Yeah. Okay.

Yeah. Fair point. I mean, remove evil from the equation. I never can. You can't. That's the problem with the world. Yep, you're right. Wow.

Okay, that's interesting. Yeah, I'll pay that. I would have preferred... Because I think they wanted someone who was physically similar to Tobey Maguire. So, I don't know. I feel Venom needs a bigger guy. Because Eddie Brock in the comics is always like bodybuilder style. Yeah, that's exactly right, yeah.

And I know Tobey Grace did say he put on muscle for whatever, whatever. But it doesn't really show. No. He did work out like a mad dog, certainly. You know, for Spider-Man 2, Tobey had a back injury. And there was a whole money kind of dispute or whatever. So they basically said to him, you're out. Gyllenhaal, you're in.

Oh, yeah. Maggie Gyllenhaal. Jake Gyllenhaal. And then Tamek would go, no, no, I'm back. Okay. Jake Gyllenhaal would have been a better Spider-Man. I think you're right, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. But hey, we'll never know that. We'll never know. That's true. Yeah. So yeah, go for grace. Not a good Venom. Not at all.

Although he did have the teeth. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha Venom. Not at all. Although he did have the teeth. Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho. Ho, ho, ho, ho. Ho, ho. Have you got any mores? Ah, who do I have? Let's see who did that one. I mean, you've got your classic,

you've got obviously your Heath Ledger's, your Patrick's. That is the best cast. That is probably, and we've said this, I won't go over it again, but that is the best casting in a comic book movie ever, I think.

Fair point. Best villainous performance ever, I think. And I called that at the time. No casting in a comic book movie ever I think fair point best villainous performance ever I think and I called that at the time no you didn't no I said great choice

because he's an amazing actor you say so many things that it doesn't I wasn't doing videos then oh okay I can't prove it so there's no proof okay fantastic

but he'd just done Brokeback Mountain and he was just he'd done a kind of bunch of middling films like I like A Knight's Tale and that's a good movie and whatever he'd done a bunch of bunch of middling films like i like a knight's tale that's a good movie and whatever he's done a bunch of kind of stuff like that yeah and then he did broke back mountain i can't remember something else and then it was kind of like

well this guy can really act dark knight dead so yeah travesty that's a shame but yeah amazing choice uh let me i've got one more yep uh It's a bad one Yep Jennifer Garner Elektra I mean again Probably because we hate The film is not great Did we see that at the movies?

Must have done I mean I enjoy working many things Sure She was great in Alias That was fun Suddenly 30 Yeah great

Fantastic That movie with the terrorism. Terrorism? Yeah, terrorism. Oh, the one with Jamie Foxx. Yes. I don't think that's a good movie. Yeah, but anyway, not Greek.

I think that's pretty much what it boils down to. Electricity, probably Greek. Yeah. Yeah. Nachios. Nachios, yeah. Yeah, there you go. Good point.

I got one for good. Okay. Gary Oldman, Commissioner Gordon. Good. Fantastic. Got the moustache. Uh- Fantastic. Got the moustache. Uh-huh. Got the pistachios.

Yes. I don't know what that means. It's an acting term. Yeah, it is. Nuts. Yep. Yeah. Yeah, great Commissioner Gordon.

He would fit into any Batman universe. Like, if you made a more comic book kind of Batman universe Commissioner Gordon is always grounded always a guy always a gruff kind of moustachioed would you watch a film yep

where Gary Oldman as Commissioner Gordon is doing a press conference and J.K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson is in the press pool

right because all his reporters have called in sick for some reason and he's really annoyed that he has to go out into the field and interview Gary Oldman, and it's just a back and forth

fight between the two. How good would that be? I'd watch that. That would be amazing, are you kidding me? And then there's, you know what, that, and it ends with you know what, there's a series of scuffles. It's two hours long and there's a series of scuffles throughout the film. Definitely.

I would watch that. Greatest movie ever made. Definitely. That's the best reason to cross over anything ever. I think so. You know one of the best crossover comics, not relevant, that you gave to me once? The Batman vs. Predator comic. The first one.

Yeah, the first one was really good. It was amazing. The next few, awful. Yeah. There's a Superman one which sucks. Yeah. The best intercompany crossover

ever, I think. It's DC... Sorry, it's Marvel and Archie comics. Okay. The Punisher meets Archie. That's not real. No, it's a real thing.

It's an actual real thing. What year? Ah, mid to late 90s, I think. What? Okay, basically the Punisher is searching for a villain who looks a lot like Archie Andrews. And so he gets a hot lead and he ends up in Riverdale

where he has to track down this villain at the Riverdale prom. And it's great because nobody is out of character at any point like the Punisher is the Punisher and Archie is happy-go-lucky

Archie in Riverdale and they team up sort of and it's the best that sounds amazing it is amazing yeah get that on your

app I bloody will get that on your comics I was going to say about the Batman thing just quickly what I love about it

the predator goes after the Batman because the Batman is the greatest whatever whatever and at the end Batman just beats him to death

with a baseball bat that's actually that's a really good point that is good old American know how yeah because he can because he's an alien so the rule doesn't

apply so he can kill him it's fine he doesn't kill him though doesn't he kill him he pulps, so he can kill him, it's fine. He doesn't kill him, though. Doesn't he kill him? He pulps him a lot. And then he, if you recall, he wins and there's like... And they give him a gun or whatever.

The Predator admits defeat. And doesn't explode himself? He doesn't, because then the remaining Predators come down from space. And they're like, okay, break it up. Break it up, boys. No, and they hand the Predator like a ceremon sword, and the Predator kills himself with that. Oh, that's right. And then they present Batman with the ceremonial sword, which he puts in the Batcave.

Batman should have just killed them all. Yeah, that's a really good point. Yeah. Great crossover. Alright, I got one more for bad. Okay, I'm ready. It's got to be real bad. It's so bad.

Fantastic. Chris O'Donnell as Robin, and I'll tell you why. Shaved head. Fine, whatever. Fantastic. Chris O'Donnell as Robin. And I'll tell you why. Shaved head. Fine. Whatever. At the time that movie came out and I looked this up guess how old Christopher Robin Chris O'Donnell was.

I don't know how. 25. Batman adopted a grown man. Yeah that's very odd isn't it. And I know they probably wanted to get away from the whole it's weird if Batman adopts a kid. It's weirder if he adopts a 25 year old man. Yeah, that's very odd, isn't it? Yeah. And I know they probably wanted to get away from the whole it's weird if Batman adopts a kid. It's weirder if he adopts

a 25-year-old man. It's very odd and also they're the same height pretty much. Yeah. Especially in the second... And build. Yeah, height and build.

Chris O'Donnell may even be bigger. Yeah, possibly, yeah. Than Clooney, probably. Yeah, yeah. Clooney's not a good choice there either. I mean, he's charismatic

but he's not Bruce Wayne charismatic. There's no edge to him at all. No.oney's not a good choice there either. I mean, he's charismatic but he's not Bruce Wayne charismatic. There's no edge to him at all. He's just a genial kind of... But I think in the right movie,

Clooney would be a good Batman. Yeah, maybe, yeah. A good older Batman. What's the one that he came out recently where his wife's in a coma?

Can't remember. He's great. I was going to say, when I was growing up, I always thought that American children were much bigger than Australian children. And that's because all American TV and movies, you had sort of high school age characters being played by like 25 year olds. And so I was always terrified.

I was terrified that Americans would come over here and beat us all up. Like they'd just send their children. They'd send their children. Yeah. I mean, you've got that at school. You've got that one giant kid who looks like he's 25, but everyone else looks like a goon until they're like 23. Exactly.

So, yeah. That's very true, though. Yeah, yeah. They even still do that now. How old was Tom Wally when he did Smallville? He must have been mid to late 20s. At least, yeah. Yeah.

Weird. Fantastic. Okay, I've got a couple ones here that I've just kind of listed here. Okay, right. Heath Ledger, talked about. Yep. Patrick Stewart, great choice, I think. It's kind of like the default kind of...

Of course, it's Patrick Stewart. Oh, yeah, yeah. He's a bald guy. He's a bald guy, sure. Robert Downey Jr. Christopher Reeves? I think it's Patrick Stewart oh yeah yeah he's a bald guy he's a bald guy sure Robert Downey Jr Christopher Reeves I think it's Christopher Reeve

I wasn't going to correct you earlier I was going to correct you earlier but then he's one of my heroes you're not the first one to make that mistake though

he's one of my heroes and I was really sad when he died him Paul Newman Steve McQueen Greg Kinnear not good

not true not dead no not true I do like Greg Kinnear. Not true, not dead. No, not true. I do like Greg Kinnear, but those three are my heroes. Dead. And what's his name? The Blonde Guy. Robert Redford, still alive. The Blonde Guy.

The Blonde Guy. Really happy that he's not dead. Yeah, great. I've got a couple bad ones here as well. Okay, I'm ready. These are kind of default. Halle Berry as Catwoman Slash Storm

You don't like her Storm? No I'm indifferent But the Catwoman I didn't see it That's probably more a bad movie And the other one is And I can't believe you didn't bring this up

Shaq as Steel. I see, I haven't seen it. I can't pass it up to you. Maybe it's great. Maybe it's great. Let's end on that then. Fantastic. On that questionable, never know the answer to. Now, last week there was a comment on one of my YouTube videos. Uh-huh, Mr. Sunday Moosie.

Mr. Sunday Moosie, that's right,ie that's right which you found super amusing so I thought maybe we could introduce a new section called The Craziest Lunatic fantastic no just just like

an amusing or insane comment I'm ready for it because most of the stuff but see I don't want people to just comment you're right yeah

you know what folks no competition if we have a look at one and for the record I'm not going to look at any comments, but if one happens to crop up... Every now and then, we might. We might bring one in. But I can tell.

If you come out and you say, oh, aliens are imparting thoughts in my brain, lizard men, I'm... Like, I'll know. Yeah. I'm good at that. Yeah. I'm good at the internet. You're great at the internet.

So don't try and trick me. And it's kind of a shame that we'd focus on the crazy and the lunatics then. So many nice comments. So many genuinely insightful things. And I'm just like, this guy's a lunatic. We should probably say it though because he's a lunatic. Yeah. Okay.

So this is from, should I say his name? Nah. Nah. This is from Green Minded. Two words. Okay. Fantastic. That's his name. Okay. This is from Green Minded. Two words. Okay, fantastic. That's his name.

Okay. Or his YouTube name. This is about my video, Is Gal Gadot a Good Choice for Wonder Woman? Which is a clip of us talking about that. Yeah. And the result was, we're indifferent, I think. I can't remember what we said, but probably. Okay. Which is probably going to be great. They should stick to Megan Fox because, B-C-O-Z, should I just read it as is? Yes, please. Okay, they should stick to, oh, riddle with, um, no grammar, by the way. Okay, they should stick to Megan Fox because her body is perfect. Perfect for bikini costume, Gal Gadot should drink 60 gallon of horse semen protein mixed with condensed milk

and 20 gallon of bodybuilder's semen to gain weight. And sex exercise. Ha ha! And sex is in capitals. Fantastic. Well, why wouldn't it be? Otherwise we might misunderstand that. That's amazing. That's a lot of semen from various sources

to what end? I don't understand I don't know is he saying that she would or she we don't know that's a really good point

actually I apologise they're saying that then they would be worthy of the role or they bulk up I think with semen with a lot of semen

as all bodybuilders do does that work? just curious asking for a friend does that does that work at all i don't it's 100 accurate anyway congratulations to you green minded you've won our comment of the week or something let's not make this a regular thing yeah yeah that's great that That'll do it, eh? Fantastic. Now, next week, we might record this one a little bit earlier and then release it around New Year's, because I'm going away.

I think, are you going away? Or are you dying? Yeah, I'm dying. So this will be the last one, but it's going to be great. So we're going to do our best and worst movies of the year. Fantastic. From all the big blockbusters, we've pretty much done all the comic book movie ones.

Are they good are they Oscar contenders have I seen them at all it's a mystery what will happen next week on the podcast the main reason

I want to do it is because I want to rant about Star Trek Into Darkness okay good haven't you done enough mate I have

that is easily I've got I've put that video up about Star Trek Into Darkness not being good and it got 150,000 views. Oh, I see what this is.

You're chasing your achievement. I must be. Yeah, yeah. But it's easily, like, it's clearly something that people are passionate about. Yeah, yeah. And, you know, the director of Star Trek, not the director, one of the writers from Star Trek Into Darkness, he went on a Star Trek forum to defend the film and said something like, this is why you idiots aren't writing films, and I am.

And he went on this whole tirade about how we're wrong because it made the most money ever and he rejuvenated the franchise. And we're idiots. We are idiots, though. Yeah, he's right. But yeah, I think if the general consensus is your thing is not very good,

it's probably not. I liked it. Whatever, man. No, I think as a film, it works. As a Star Trek film, it is horse semen. Wow. How many gallons? 20.

Yeah, wow. Bunk you right up. That's a lot of semen. Yeah, yeah. And I'm going to tell you why later. Oh, my goodness. Yeah. Well, absolutely.
