Welcome back everybody to another episode of the Weekly Planet, official podcast of comicbookmovie.com where we talk movies, comics, TV shows. My name is James, also known as Mr. Sunday. Movies. YouTube. With me as always is my ghost. Your mic's too far away. Nick Mason. It's me. My mic's too far away. My signature move. Something's not quite right every time.

That's right. Mic's too far away. I only got one shoe. You know what I mean? I know you do. I was just checking if you had one shoe. I do have two shoes. You always take off your shoes for podcasting.

Shoes off, watch off. I don't understand. I don't understand why. I don't know why you wear a watch. Because it's... Look, drink it in. Yeah,. Shoes off, watch off. I don't understand. I don't understand why. I don't know why you wear a watch. Because it's... Look, drink it in. Yeah, it's pretty good, I guess. Is that an expensive watch?

Nah. I don't care. I don't know why I asked. So this episode's a little bit late. You've been down the beach. I have been down the beach. You're always down the bloody beach. I like the beach.

What are you doing? I've got friends down in Allen who have a beach house that I go and visit. They're good people. What does the beach have, the beautiful sunny beach have, that this enclosed, kind of stale-smelling, empty room doesn't have? You know what I mean? You mean man cave? Yes, I do.

Yeah. Ha! I tricked you. We're in a man cave. Reversed it. Many things. Sand. I like the beach, but I don't like the sand.

Get it out of here. Anakin Skywalker style. Yeah. Not a fan. But no, it's nice to get away. I don't like the sand get it out of here Anakin Skywalker style yeah not a fan but no it's nice to get away I'm always doing the thing mate and it's also it's the long weekend this weekend

Anzac Day of course which celebrates Australian New Zealand war veterans and the like it's a very important day so yeah do you have like a day off

yeah I do which we do I do so yeah no beach is good what are you about not. What are you about? Not doing anything.

Are you about knowing that Prince is dead? Oh, he is dead, yeah. Yeah. 57. That's pretty bloody young, mate. That's young in the real world. That is incredibly young in the celebrity world. It's so young.

Yeah, right. Yeah. So, look, I know we said even like mere weeks ago that we weren't the biggest Prince fans. That doesn't mean, of course, that we can't acknowledge it. People enjoyed him a lot. Exactly. And he made incredible accomplishments in the world of music and pushing boundaries and bringing kind of rock, pop

and big hair and little thing little and heels. Platform shoes. And all that kind of stuff. Nice shirts, yeah. Yeah. Amazing guitarist. Yep, okay. Fashion sense.

Little twiggly mustache. Look, I wasn't the biggest fan of the fashion sense, but pushing boundaries, as I said. Yeah, absolutely. And you know what? He lived by his own rules. Supposedly, allegedly, wrote a song a day. Is that true? They're all in the vault.

Oh, yeah, that's right, because he's got this legendary Prince. He's produced documentaries and music videos and songs and a whole bunch of stuff that he's never released correct so presumably just for him or for his own enjoyment so he was just this kind of music making machine so there is a lot of talk of will we be seeing this stuff will they be drip feeding it out like tupac keeps making albums somehow and he didn't have a vault full of music. That's true, yeah. So we could be getting Prince music forever. Yeah. Well, maybe I can learn to love it then, I guess.

Yeah. Anyway, rest in peace, Prince. That really sucks. But speaking of resting in peace, Uh-oh. Patton Oswalt's wife died as well. Yeah. She was 46.

Again, what's going on there? Insane. What is happening? I don't think Prince's cause of death has been revealed as of yet. He had the flu, possibly. Yeah, for a few weeks. I've had the flu for a few weeks, if I'm honest with you. And I'm not a Hollywood celebrity. I'm only an internet celebrity, so I'm liable.

I think that's a lower lifespan than a regular person. It is. Yeah, it's all the stress. Her name is Michelle... It's all the stress and the IP routing. You know it. Michelle McNamara, 46. She was a crime writer. She created a blog that was all about breaking news stories related to crime and cold cases.

They also have a seven-year-old daughter. That's fucking terrible. I know, right? I can't even imagine that. What's going on 2016? I don't know. What are you doing? Ghost assassins?

Almost certainly ghost assassins. I knew it. Yeah. Speaking of ghost assassins, I don't know. What are you doing? Ghost assassins? Almost certainly ghost assassins. I knew it. Speaking of ghost assassins, I don't have a segue there. Let me check if there's something in the news for ghost assassins. No, sorry. No, that's okay. Let's just talk about the next thing. Okay, cool.

In humans. That's actually a perfect segue for most things. We should probably just use that from now on this point forward. Let's just talk about the next thing. We say we don't have a segue. This is the next thing. Inhumans has been removed from the Marvel slate. Indefinitely, right?

For 2019. Yeah, I think the story goes that Ike Perlmutter, who used to have a big hand over the MCU. Cranky old Ike Perlmutter. Always up to something. Always ruining shit for everybody. Since he got moved away from the movie story group at the request of um uh it's kevin feige and because he went straight to the head of disney and was like could get rid of this guy he's a real he's a real piece of shit this bloke good vibes yes what's going on so

because they've been building up the inhumans as kind of like the version of the x-men yeah because obviously marvel the mcu don't have the rights to the x-men yeah because obviously marvel the mcu don't have the rights to the x-men for the movies correct so i guess this is this was going to be their push to be like and they've been doing in the comics as well they've been like there's going to be no more new mutants and the inhumans are the new thing yeah i think people don't dislike them in humans but i think there was a lot of backlash to stop forcing them on us right Right. You know, if we like them, we like them. Because they're making a lot of appearances in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Yeah, as well. Is that correct? I don't know. That is correct. Okay. So, yeah, we're still getting a bit there and who knows if we'll see this movie but I did post like a...

Are we getting costumed inhumans in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.? Oh, who knows, mate. Or are we just getting... Just minor inhumans, I don't know. There was a blind guy I saw. I don't know which one he is. There's another one. Daisy's character?

Yep. Was it a human maybe? I don't know. Somebody tell... I don't care. But I did a poll on it, if anybody cared. And the majority of people were indifferent, but there were people who are big fans of this property

and are pretty disappointed. Could this mean that Marvel are moving towards buying back the X-Men? Well, that was the thought. Yeah, because they'll probably get fantastic four back i don't know that for a fact but come on again i've suggested this before and i hope this happens yeah they get them back yeah but other companies are allowed to make fantastic four movies as well so every year we get a good one from marvel studios and we get an awful one from somebody another company who's trying to keep anybody for some reason yeah it doesn't matter roger corman can have another go oh please yeah yeah so people are saying well maybe the x-men are

coming back maybe they're doing a thing with spider-man where they're going to share the universe and whatever it's possible clearly there's there's precedent for it but fox and marvel there's a lot of bridge building i know the the creators behind the deadpool movie were like look we've got a lot of ideas to do a spider-man deadpool kind of crossover thing but who know hugh jackman's been pushing it for years a bunch of other people but if it means that great it might just mean that they thought that you know what maybe there isn't really need for it or people don't want it or i'm not sure what their decision making just an email comes through it's just like look if we're honest we don't know what the humans are we've been

we've been probing for years there's a big dog there's a dog man there's a guy who doesn't talk yeah i don't know maybe he's got a cold or something hair he's a hair lady hair lady yeah are they the ones that live on the moon or they're the ones from look it's it's confusing for us so we're just gonna to drop it. Let's pretend it never happened. But look, it doesn't mean we won't see them.

It doesn't mean that they're not going to push it in a Netflix series. Who knows? So never say never, Mason. Don't ever say that.

I won't ever say never, all right? God. Embarrass yourself again. Sorry. You a Power Rangers fan knowing that you're not? No, I'm absolutely not.

Again, they should have expanded that Power Rangers short instead of trying to kill it. No, what they thought they'd do is just go, oh, we know you liked that, but we're going to make a different thing because we hate you. But I guess there's... They tried to get that removed and all sorts of stuff. Yeah, but I mean, I guess I don't have that nostalgia for it.

I mean, I don't have any nostalgia for anything, but if I did, it wouldn't be for Power Rangers, but I guess a lot of people love the Power Rangers. Yeah, absolutely. We've got a sweet new look for Rita Repulsa, right? Yes. Does that mean we're getting a sweet new look for everything? I think the suits would just be pretty much the same,

but more slick. Okay, sure. Yeah, so. She looks very Katana slash Mileena from Mortal Kombat. Right, yep, definitely. I could say that, yeah. Do you remember Rita from the show? She would be like...

There's a lot of that. A lot of weird dubbing. She'd send out... She'd make little putty men. Yes, I remember. They were called putties. I remember that. And they'd go down and they'd go...

And then they'd get kicked a lot. And then she'd make some kind of weird crab monster or a scorpion monster or an ant monster or some kind of... Something with an exoskeleton monster. And then there would be some kind of zord. There'd be a real kerfuffle. Yes, there would.

For a bit. Some buildings would get completely flattened. Because they were made of cardboard. That's right. They'd get pushed aside. Yep, Angel Grove and all that. No, look, I'm not a fan, but yeah, I'll see this, man. I'll see anything with giant robots kicking other giant robots or giant monsters or whatever.

I'll bloody see that. When they transitioned over from the TV version to the movie version, did we get CGI Zords or was it just the same dudes in suits as always? TV version to movie version. Do you mean like the mid-90s one? There was a couple. When they went to Power Rangers Ninja Force or Turbo or whatever. I think, depending on the version, I think the movie might have been CGI.

Okay. And where they fought Ivan Ooze. I don't remember. There's so many different versions. I couldn't tell you. Some of them are cars. Clean slate, guys. Let's do this.

I do wonder, though, if this is a continuation. I think it might be. I don't know that for a fact. How are they going to explain her fresh new look? Oh, yeah, good point. Why she isn't wearing a horn hat anymore. These are all questions that I don't have the answer to. They're all questions, exactly, yeah.

Yeah. I think Zed's the next villain as well, after her. He's got, like, an exposed brain and, like, a red visor. Oh, sure, yeah, I know that guy. Yeah. I don't know what he's about. Probably just the same shit. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, he should get some more work. That's right. Send him down to the unemployment office. Speaking of the same shit. Oh, yeah. Independence, you should get some more work. That's right. Send him down to the unemployment office. Speaking of the same shit. Oh, yeah. Independence Day, Rick Sajan's trailer too.

Yeah. I'm all for this. I'm all for it. It's interesting. The world is now so unlike modern day Earth though. Yes. That I don't know if people

are going to relate to it as much. Right. Okay. Because it's such, because it is, it's 2016, but it's parallel universe 2016. It's giant stadiums with floating alien TV screens and helicopters that don't have blades and stuff. What do you feel about the vibe just of the trailer? It seems like there's a little bit of a nod and a wink.

Yeah, it's a bit of kind of like they love the bloody getting the monuments, don't they? Yeah. It's that kind of thing. Goldblum's all, ooh. That guy's the best. Aren the monuments don't they yeah it's that kind of thing goldham's all because the best aren't you afraid gold's like i guess so did you see below that there's also a um it's a little like a psa yeah a little psa that he's doing is he doing a series of those yeah i've seen a couple i watched one and there's been a couple where he's just like look after yourself and whatever and get out there. Don't waste water. Yeah, I don't remember exactly the specifics of it, but he does him in character.

I don't remember his character's name. Let's call him Ian Malcolm. Let's say it's the same character from Jurassic Park. It's David Levinson. Oh, is it? Yes, but let's call him Ian Malcolm. Let's call him David Attenborough from Jurassic Park. Yeah.

I don't feel the... Love. No, not as much. Now that you mention it, yeah. It's very kind of slick in the way that the first Independence Day wasn't. Because there was CGI in that, but there was just a lot of fighting over a desert in a weird shit. We did get our first look at Will Smith in this movie.

Yeah. That is to say, a small photo of Will Smith. And then a plane crashing. I know, because that's how he does go out. But I don't know whether... Do you think they have to pay for Will Smith's likeness? I think there is a law that you have to. I don't know that.

There's probably something in the Actors Guild, which is probably a thing. Sure. Yeah. But his son... I don't know whether it's his son because he marries a girl in the first one who has a son and i'm wondering if that's the same kid he doesn't even from the one line he has he doesn't seem like he has the charisma that william

smith did correct from the first one but you know maybe he's great maybe he's got liam hemsworth level of charisma which is to say some charisma yeah that's mean he does have a lot of charisma and also there's a small chance we might meet him i hope well not really no but we were in the same country sometimes so i don't want to word gets around and then all of a sudden he's like what did you say about me yeah have you seen the photos of him and his brother like in a bar fight oh yeah they're enormous yeah so it's pretty good and there's the other one who we wouldn't recognize and maybe we're at a bar and we talk shit about liam hemsworth and he's like what do you say about my brother i'm jad hemsworth that's my brother yeah uh i yeah sure it's um for something

that i cared little about i care somewhat about it now we seem to be also beginning some sort of walkers yeah that's very kind of what are they called? War of the Worlds. That's the word I was looking for. Yeah, all sorts of monuments go up

and then down. But again, it's this world that was almost entirely decimated by the aliens in the first one. What monuments are left?

The bridge, the London Bridge I think we see. It's falling down. And I don't know, maybe there's a new White House. There's a White House 2 and it floats maybe. Oh sure, and uh i don't know maybe there's a new white house there's a white house too and it floats oh sure yeah i don't know yeah it's got its own twitter feed

i bet it does yeah not great whatever good uh you wanted me to watch i was going to watch the godzilla resurgence trailer live uh live on the podcast i went to live reaction podcast which i'm not i'm not good at this. I've never done one. So this is Toho. Yeah. This is not a sequel to the Bryan Cranston guy from Kick-Ass Godzilla. This is the Japanese Toho version.

The Bryan Cranston barely in it. And the other guy who's in it. Does that suggest that Toho and the Japanese public are not happy with the version we got? They always do that, though. Like, even when Godzilla 98 came out, they've been making their own Godzillas. Yeah, that's true. Independently. Yeah.

So I think this must be part of the deal. Yeah. All right. Did you know they call the 1998 Godzilla Geno? Yes. Which stands for Godzilla in name only. And doesn't he get killed in one of the movies? Yeah, in like one punch.

Yeah. They bring a version of him in in just one punch. It's pretty great. Even though he's already dead. Because of missiles. Because of missiles, yeah. Oh, I meant to say, I was like, why is Brett Spiner back as the scientist? In Independence Day.

Because I thought, didn't he get rid of with bullets? And I watched the clip just then. The alien gets rid of with bullets. He's fine. And you see him matrix cartwheel out of the way. Oh, fantastic. But he doesn't, you don't see him. So I guess that's why he's back. And now he's back in some sort of matrix cartwheel out of the way fantastic but he does you don't see him so i guess that's why he's back now he's back in some sort of some sort of hippy dippy version

of himself well he was it wasn't a hippy dippy version more so more so yeah do you reckon he's like one of them's like a secret alien plant yes because they've been in his head yeah definitely yeah do you reckon it's him yeah yeah spoiler alert definitely him all right here we go okay i'm ready i'm gonna react to this and by that i mean i'm gonna sit in silence until it's him? Yeah. Spoiler alert, definitely him. All right, here we go. Okay, I'm ready. I'm going to react to this, and by that I mean I'm going to sit in silence until it's over, and then I'll just say what I think. I'm going to react to your silence. Now, my initial thought last time was, I said to you, is this it?

Oh, yeah, you did, yeah. Because it doesn't look like it's it. No, it looks like a fan-made trailer. And that looks like a giant piece of poo going over the city. Yep, but just you wait. It's actually costumes, which is interesting. it looks like a fan made trailer and that looks like a giant piece of poo going over the city yep but it's his tail but just you wait it's actually costumes

which is interesting it's weird right yeah there's two godzillas okay these are probably famous he's really digging it guys

famous he's really getting into it japanese stars that's what I thought as well I'm like who are these guys they must be famous on somewhere yeah god there's a lot of serious faces isn't there yeah yeah yeah not a lot of dialogue god this looks That's what I thought as well. I'm like, who are these guys? They must be famous on somewhere.

God, there's a lot of serious faces, isn't there? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not a lot of dialogue. God, this looks fucking terrible. What's weird about it, though, is there's some budget to it. There seems to be. There's tanks and there's fighter planes. I haven't seen any of that yet. Okay, well, just wait.

You're bloody going to enjoy this. There's just rooms of men and close-ups of angry Japanese. Okay, planes, folks. There we go. Look pretty nice, right? What is that stock footage? It looks like... You know what? wait you just you're bloody this is rooms of men and close-ups of angry japanese okay planes folks there we go look pretty nice right what is that stock footage it looks like you know what then the tanks and that look like generic cut and paste oh god there's like a god yeah godzilla big shot with missiles that looks pretty good yeah he's red all up his bloody body that tail is ridiculous what is going on there? Yeah. It's like well over his head.

But he looks like he's got like magma in him. Yeah, I'm wondering about that. I'm going to look that up right now. Look up. Does Godzilla have magma in him? And the last shot is like just a Japanese man flipping out and then it cuts. Confusing, right?

What is that? Yeah. Maybe that's a... Well, look,using, right? What was that? Yeah. Maybe that's a... Well, look, I'm never going to watch that, obviously. Really? Not even the first five minutes? No, I had to watch that and I hated it. What if it's some sort of...

Added some sort of independent cinema in Melbourne? No, I'd definitely not watch it. What if I buy the popcorn? I don't eat popcorn. What if I buy the popcorn and then I leave and you don't have to see the movie with me? I'm okay with that. Okay, great. All right. Let's make this happen. What? You're going to go and see that? No. I buy the popcorn and then I leave and you don't have to see the movie with me I'm okay with that okay great alright

let's make this happen what you gonna you gonna go and see that no absolutely I'm not no look I'm sure it'll be as good as the other ones

which is to say probably not that good but people have a fond memory for them yeah this is a reboot of the franchise which might explain

why he's red oh okay yeah 12 years since Godzilla Final Wars, which was the last Godzilla, the last Toho Godzilla film. Actually, I didn't think they'd be rebooting Godzilla. I thought they'd just keep doing them. Who's to say?

I do like the fact that they've gone back to Man in the Suit. I enjoy that. Oh, yes? It's just like, we're doing it. This is how we do it. We're doing it. We don't care if you hate this and it looks shit. We're doing it. We is how we do it. Yeah, okay. We're doing it. We don't care if you hate this and it looks shit. We're doing it.

We're going our own way. Fleetwood Mac style. That's right. Okay. What's the next thing? Michael Keaton is apparently not in Spider-Man Homecoming. He's dropped out of contention. Which, that sucks a bit.

But in other news, Robert Downey Jr. is in. Confirmed. As Iron Iron Man I was Tony Stark at least yeah I wonder to what capacity I think I feel like if they're announcing it now yeah he's probably got a pretty significant role

yes otherwise if it were just like that you know that's that's end of credits scene at the end of Incredible Hulk yeah where he's just like hey I'm here this is the same universe by the way yeah

he may as well have said that just so we're sure yeah it seems fairly significant yeah so cool man yeah

I wonder like I think I'm guessing from Civil War he's going to take on some kind of mental role to Spider-Man I was just going to ask that

mental role or mental role yeah mental role but what if what if it's like what if it's like, what if it's like an antagonist kind of role? Oh,

that'd be cool. Because maybe, you know, because maybe it's like he feels, you know, maybe he feels betrayed by Iron Man. Yeah. We don't know what's, we don't,

again, we still don't know what happens. We are seeing Civil War Wednesday. It's Wednesday. And we won't be doing an episode next week because it's not out worldwide. So we'll wait a week and then we'll do one. But we won't be doing spoilers.

That means we've got to think of another topic for next week. We were going to do Spider-Man this week. We were going to talk about the Sam Raimi, Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movies this week. We're like, oh, exciting. We haven't. But it turns out we talked about them like 100 episodes ago. I think we could do one.

Oh, sure. Because I don't remember doing that. No. We'd have fascinating new insights. Or exactly this. What do you think is. Yeah. We'd have fascinating new insights or exactly this. What do you think is more likely? We'd have exactly the same insights or I would, we would just completely turn around on them.

I'm okay with them. I feel like I probably wouldn't have changed. I don't think you'll turn around on them. Okay. I think you're still, you hold a lot of hate in your heart for those movies. That's so true. I do.

Yeah. Even though they're the best movies, even though some of them are pretty good in parts. That's yeah. All right. I do want, yeah, I'd like to see that because Spider-Man and Iron Man have a real falling out after Civil War in the comics. Yes. And then it's a kind of a dumb storyline that Spider-Man's aunt gets injured.

This is one of the many stories. And he goes to Tony Stark's and like, she's going to die. Why don't you pay for it? Tony Stark's like, I'm not doing it. Fuck you. Wow. You chose to de-mask. That's what you're about.

Wow. And then, but then I think, um, what's his name? Jarvis turns up and then pays for it. He ends up paying for it. Yeah. Jarvis pays. No, he doesn't pay for it, but Jarvis turns up and sends a check. No, he actually, Jarvis goes to the hospital because I think he dated Aunt May.

Maybe. At one point. Good on him. All the old people in the Marvel universe have, they're all some of this. Yeah, it's just Jarvis and Willy Lumpkin and Aunt May and the Vulture. We're just getting in there. So good. You know, there's a surprisingly high amount of STDs in old people's homes.

It's quite rife. Well, I mean... What else are you doing? What else are you doing? Exactly, yeah. And I guess you're into your life. You're just like... Yeah.

You've just got to sweep all the pieces off the bridge table and just get into it, you know? But I guess at the end of your life, you're like, I'll be dead in a month. Who cares if I've got herpes? Yeah, it doesn't matter. Yeah. Who cares if we've all got herpes?

Correct. That's my motto. No, it's not. Maybe it should be. Maybe I should be more lax. Look. Your motto is please, please no one give me herpes. That's right.

Yeah. I've gotten this far. Doctor Who, they've announced a new companion with a clip. Pearl Mackie is her name. She's playing Bill. Is she a woman in her mid-20ie is her name she's playing is she a a woman in her mid-20s i think she's like 28 yeah yeah what a twist um there's a clip she seems like she seems more kind of donna kind of wacky fun and yep kind of making fun of this she's all like

these daleks are pretty dumb why are they so dumb and he's like shut up they're gonna kill us and she's like why does one have a plunger on him and he's like shut up shut up so what she is essentially is she is somebody's partner who doesn't watch doctor who watching doctor who for the first time correct amazing every time i'm back i'm back on board who's that guy and doc the doctor's like we'll know in a minute i don't know either but we we'll find out if you just watch it for a minute. All right, God. We'll do it together. Yeah.

Peter Capaldi's got more Doctor Who hair. It's like he's getting more luxurious as it goes along. Is he becoming sort of like the first Doctor? He had that weird white bowl cast part in the middle? No, it's more wavy. Okay, right. All right. Okay.

I'm trying to think of the comparison. I couldn't think. You'd have to say it. Yeah. I guess there are a lot of people who especially started out with Tennant or they started out with Matt Smith or they started out with Eccleston who are wholly unprepared for for to go back further like what do you mean by back like to if if he starts exhibiting mannerisms or like the look of doctors prior to that yeah that it's you know it's kind of a shock right really the that that kind of heritage has been around for you know decades yeah yeah so bloody buddy, get used to William Hartnell hair.

Get used to it. Get used to a bloody umbrella that's got a question mark on the end of it. It's all coming back. Get used to a man who pins celery stick to his jacket. For no reason. Or it was... I think one of the monsters was repelled, but I think Cybermen were repelled by celery or something like that.

They don't like celery? Celery's great and it has so few calories. You can chew it all day, mate. You don't like celery? I don't like celery? Celery's great and it has so few calories. You can chew it all day, mate. Ugh. You don't like celery? I don't like any... Look. Look.

Lettuce. No. Celery. No. None of it. You know there's so many lettuces. What about a crisp iceberg lettuce? None of it.

It's just a weird wet mass. Have you ever got... It's a bloody... A crisp lettuce leaf wrapped in like a... It's like they're stealing from you. But I haven't. The answer is I haven't. The answer is I haven't. Whatever this is.

Spring roll, crisp lettuce leaf, sauce. Don't like spring rolls either. What are you even saying? Don't like spring rolls. Do you like Dim Sims? No.

Me neither actually. I'm on the same page. Yeah. What are they about? Get them out of here. What's going on? You know what I fucking hate? You know what I hate?

What's that? Coriander. Okay. Okay. Look, this is unrelated. Do you like coriander? We'll let it all miss out. No, we're not. Okay, good. Do you like coriander? fucking hate you know what i hate what's that coriander okay okay look this is unrelated do you like it almost out no we're not okay good do you do you like coriander it's not entirely sure what it is it's poison it tastes i don't like it tastes like it tastes it tastes like

bad soap oh curry soap's not good you shouldn't eat soap and it's worse than soap where you some people are genetically predisposed to it tasting like soap. Which is me. I have that. A lot of people have that. That being said, a lot of people like it. That being said, a lot of time when you order a salad or something, you know, like a... Americans call it cilantro.

Is that true? Yeah. Great. But, like, you'll get, you know, like a... This is... For a long time, listeners, James used to have vendettas against people in his life. And I think he's got a vendetta against coriander.

I absolutely do. But it's more so that when you order it and then it surprisingly comes out and it's just mixed through whatever it is, but it's not in the menu. Like if I, like say, I don't like avocado, right? But I'm okay with it. And if there's avocado in something,

then I know it's there because they put it on the menu. But with coriander enough people don't like it where you should write it down. So I know it's coming and then know not to order that. There should be little symbols nut free, gluten free this might taste like so. That's right. It's just not on.

I understand. What are we talking about? Jason Bourne trailer. So it's just called Jason Bourne? It's just called on. I understand. What are we talking about? Jason Bourne trailer. Okay, good. What's the bloody... All right. So it's just called Jason Bourne? It's just called Jason Bourne. They've gone the Rocky Balboa route.

Yes. They've run out of the Bourne... I guess they've gone, well, the Bourne identity, the Bourne supremacy, the blah, blah, blah. They're all going to blur together. The Bourne, Jeremy Renner one. Because all of the movies blur together anyway. Correct.

I cannot wait for this one to be added to my collective memory of the Bourne movies where it's like, remember he stabbed that guy in the hand with a pen? Oh, so good. Remember the time he walked through public, walked through traffic and a tram went by and he disappeared and he was gone. Remember the time he was on a roof with a sniper rifle?

Remember that time Julius Stiles was shocked that he was there all of a sudden? Oh, it's going to be great. But then he wasn't there. Yeah. in this trailer all those things happen yeah yeah look i like i like they're okay yeah me too i'm okay with them yeah but i still think the first one is clearly the best one and the one that i remember the most and people are like thank god paul greengrass is back but paul greengrass made the two second ones which are clearly not as good

so Doug or they're just as good they're just as good I feel I strongly feel they're just as good but one's set the tone

correct and it's got you know you believe the love story and all that kind of stuff and it's got the bit where he stabs the guy with a pen

it's got the best bits and he shoots Clive Owen in the arms with a shotgun yes he does he's got all the best things. And he shoots Clive Owen in the arms with a shotgun. Yes, he does. He's got all the best things. He blows up a fuel tank, I think.

Maybe. Yeah. Anyway, what's the plot of this one? Do we know? He's got some of his memories back. No, he remembers everything

but he doesn't know everything. So, and there's a lot of him using regular stuff in the room to kill people which I'm fine with. That's very good. He breaks the leg off a chair and then fights with it.

And there's a bit where he's... I feel there's a fine line there. Because after... Like, the line is the transporter movies. Right. Where it stops becoming, oh, this guy's a, you know, a brutal fighter and he'll fight you with, you know, he'll... He'll kick the pedals off a bicycle and a puddle of oil.

There's a line where you go, oh, they've just... The production designer has searched for things in a room that you can use to beat people with yes that's not across that line so do you think like a chair leg is lazy no i don't think they've done chair leg before okay uh it depends how he breaks the chair i guess i think you just seem kind of just bend down and take the leg off we'll see we'll have to say on the day excuse me i'll need some kind of weapon yeah we to see on the day. Excuse me. I'll need some kind of weapon. Yeah.

We'll see on the day, I guess. I've got that chair at my table where the leg falls off. You've experienced it. I've nearly... Yeah. You didn't warn me until afterwards. I forget. Even I sit in it.

Put a note on it. Nah. All right. What am I going to do? Put a note on it? Yeah, he makes a good point. So I'm glad he's using regular stuff to kill people.

It looks like he's smashing cars in Vegas. Yeah. It looked like they've upped the stakes as far as the car chases go. Yeah. Because it's not in Prague. There were some great car chases. I completely agree. The first one did set the tone with that mini chase.

And what I liked about that as well, like he's got a map and he's reading it as he's going. Right, yeah. He's looking for side streets. So like he's skilled, but he's not like Bond where he just knows where he is at all times yes like do you think he's now he's gonna have a little gps oh maybe or do you think he'll have maybe siri will help him siri i need a chair leg where can i go um yeah of course i'll see it jay matt damon's great and these movies okay some of them all of them are good yeah i haven't seen the the the Renner one, but I don't think we'll be seeing him anytime soon.

Oh, what if he's got a cameo though? I'd be very, I think that would confuse people as well. I'd be like, what is this, the Avengers movie? Is this Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters? I'm hoping for a teeny little team up. Just a little one. Yeah, just a little team up. Okay.

Yeah, but no, he is very much a supporting character, Renna like he's like he's the supporting character in mission impossible avengers he's probably not the main guy in witch hunters though maybe he is maybe he's in the last witch hunter with vin diesel my hands are up i don't know but good on him uh anything else on that looks pretty good he does remember everything but he doesn't know everything. Remember that. And he's in a pit fight. Yeah, that was weird. I think that's how it's going to open. Is he searching for meaning in pit fighting?

Yes. Don't we all, though? Yeah. Yeah. He remembers some things. Johnny Depp. Very good. We should bring this up.

We should bring this up because we have mentioned in the past that a number of months ago johnny depp and amber heard came to australia yeah on a private plane yep they brought their dogs pistol and boo yep and they fell afoul of barnaby joyce minister for immigration he looks like what is he the minister for he must be or i don't know what he is now immigration or like there's been a reshuffle okay good i don't know man minister for agriculture maybe minister for killing dogs yeah so he said so barnaby joyce who is part of our government and therefore a horrible toe to the man he looks like the principal from

ferris bueller oh okay yeah huh if you want a frame of reference great yeah he threatened to put down their dogs yes or destroy their destroy their dogs, maybe he said. And so he didn't. And I guess in exchange, Johnny Depp, and everybody's seen this, but Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, they're in a hotel room somewhere and they've been forced to make some sort of video

at gunpoint about how Australia's a lovely country, but their biosecurity is very severe, sort of video at gunpoint about how Australia's a lovely country and it, but their biosecurity is, is very severe. So don't bring dogs in on your private plane. They're like Australia, very woman friendly people. We're woman direct is what he said specifically, uh,

which I guess hard to watch, isn't it? Yeah. I'm like, Oh, this is embarrassing. I was like, Oh,

this is embarrassing. But then I'm like, but then he gets real movie, movie action hero serious for a second oh he channels a bit of nick of time yeah i guess so it's uh look he he is it looks like an it looks like a video you'd see like an isis like he's the-like... He's the Minister for Agriculture and Water Resources and, surprise, also the Deputy Prime Minister. Who knew? Who knew?

Oh, that makes sense, actually. Because we got that new Prime Minister, didn't we? I guess we did. But we might be getting another one in a few months. We'll see how that goes. Fingers crossed. Who knows? I know.

Anyway, it's great. Everybody should watch it. Yeah. I don't know. I don't think everyone should watch it. Yeah. I don't know. I don't think everyone should watch it. We're a very warm and direct people, though. We certainly are. You better believe that or we'll kill your dogs.

We'll kill your dogs. But, you know, also is that they just say, we're sorry for bringing Pistol and Boo into the country. They don't explain the context. Oh, right. So if you don't know what's going on, you're like, is this a viral video? Is this a college humor video? Funny or Die? for funny or die what's happening i mean the parodies have

happened thick and fast certainly they have steven colbert did one i didn't watch it yeah and i didn't watch any of the other ones because whatever that one is they're probably not as good as a steven colbert one correct which again i did not watch all right anyway it's great uh did i have another thought about that if that was me right and i was Johnny, I'd Johnny Depp money. If I had Nick of Time money, right, and they said, you've got to pay $15,000 per final to do this video, I'd be like, here's $15,000. I'd give him $15,000.

If I had, because that's nothing, right, to him, yeah. I would hire, I would go down to like Hollywood Boulevard and hire one of those guys who dresses up as Jack Sparrow. And I get him to take the makeup off and put on regular Johnny Depp makeup and then get somebody who looks like Amber Heard. I don't know any of Amber Heard's roles. Yeah. And just have him make a fake video in his house and then see how long it took for people

to twig. That would be a great punked. I know, right? Wouldn't it? So good. Really punked someone. Magnificent Seven trailer. Yeah. It right? Wouldn't it? So good. Really punked someone. Magnificent Seven trailer.

Yeah. It's very Chris Evans and Denzel Washington focused. You mean Chris Pratt? Pratt. Yeah. It is. Because there's also Ethan Hawke, Vincent D'Onofrio, who looks like a terrifying wilderness man. Yes, he does.

Look at that beard. It's crazy. Is he getting wider or slimmer or taller? I don't know. What is happening with that bloke? I think he's getting wider and it's all... And it's the beard. It's the beard and it's camera angles.

Right, right. So, are you a fan of the original Magnificent Seven? Not really. And by that I mean the Japanese Seven Samurai version. You didn't see like the Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen one? No, I never did. No. It's great.

Or it's not great. I'm a big fan of that era and those kind of, that era of, I was going to say superheroes. In a way, they're superheroes because they smoked for years. Yeah, man. They all died, didn't they? Yeah. They're all dead. Except for Redford, but he was a little bit younger.

Also, he's not in that movie. Anyway, I like The Magnificent Seven. I have seen it. Yeah. But it's not, like it's not a cultural touchstone. I'm sure I saw it as a midday movie at one point. Right, right, yeah. Did you see The Magnificent Seven Rides Again?

No. Were they rides again? So the basic story of The Magnificent Seven is there's a small town and they're being terrorized, Three Amigos style. By the Three Amigos. By the Three Amigos. And then so they hire these seven gunmen to protect them Three Amigos style and then Buy the Three Amigos Buy the Three Amigos and then so they hire these

seven gunmen to protect them and just clean up the town and it's all about is it about money or is it about honour Mason? I'm going to say

initially money and then honour and then money and then money again yeah Three Amigos is pretty good isn't it? because that's loosely based on

I guess so yeah Seven Amigos as well yeah no I'm all for this me too but again has there been any kind of uproar? Three Amigos is pretty good, isn't it? Because that's loosely based on... I guess so, yeah. Magnificent Seven as well. No, I'm all for this. Me too. But again, has there been any kind of uproar? Do we know any big original Magnificent Seven fans? Well, I think you can't say,

I love the Magnificent Seven, that's a classic, blah, blah, blah, because then people go, well, it's not even the original itself. So I think this is fair game. Yeah, that's true. So, no, I don't think there's going to be any... And it's been long enough, I feel like.

I think if this was The Great Escape or something like that, then yeah. What is the difference? Or Butch Cassidy. See, that's the thing. You really love Butch Cassidy, the son of that kid. So surely that's just your bias showing through. Definitely. But I still think it is that the original Magnificent Seven is a remake.

I bet there's some real mad on other podcasts. On other podcasts, there's probably a whole bunch of other nerds going like, how dare they? How dare they? But also, this looks, this is kind of, this might be not no good, but this feels like how you would make a Western. You get someone the caliber of Denzel Washington and Chris Pine. Yeah, that's true, I guess.

You smash them together. Yeah. As opposed to like the Lone Ranger where it's just, and you know what, I didn't hate the Lone Ranger. It's, there are actually some pretty cool action sequences in that. Johnny Depp's maybe running on a giant wheel. Maybe that's one of the Pirates movies, who knows? It's to say.

But I guess you're right in the sense that the original was Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen and Charles Bronson and just like, were they all rising stars or big stars at the time? I think they were up and coming. I know some of them were, because Yul Brynner had probably done like The King and I and the like. So, I mean, this is, I guess this is it. We've got Pratt, who's definitely on the rise.

We've got Denzel Washington, who's made it. We've got others. Ethan Hawke. Ethan Hawke. It's actually the same director as Training Day. We've got Denzel Washington, who's made it. We've got others. Ethan Hawke. Ethan Hawke. It's actually the same director as Training Day. So it's a Hawke-Washington. Yeah, that's right. It's a Hawke-Washington joint once again.

D'Onofrio. Yeah. I can't remember the others. Okay. I can't remember the other three. So we've got some genuine stars. We've got some character actors. Buddy, this is.

But I think this- It feels legit. This also plays better than The Magnificent Seven with like with Tom Cruise and you know who's another like Tom Cruise era actor you know

and Christian Slater right yeah but do you know what I mean like I feel like Young Guns yeah Young Guns somebody actually said that tweet said that tweet to me

said I prefer Young Guns no I think this is I think this will do well yeah especially like they might even revive the Western briefly who knows but the Western briefly.

Who knows? But the Western never really goes away, does it? No, that's true. Every few years you get one. You get a three-tent of humour. You get a true grit. You mentioned the other week. We get a cowboy versus aliens. Yeah.

It's not really that good, that one, is it? I've not seen it. Oh, really? Yeah. I'm sure we saw it together. You've said this. This has been brought up on the show before. You've said we've...

I insist that you've seen it. I've never seen it. Okay. I know he's got the glove on and it's an alien glove. It's a gauntlet mason. All right, sorry. Clearly you've never seen it okay i know he's got the glove on and it's an alien it's a gauntlet mason clearly you've never seen it clearly i was wrong yeah yeah you're right though i would be i would be mad if they remade butch cassidy who would you put as butch cassidy in sunnys kid what if it were um channing tatum to jonah hill it's fine whatever yeah you know i wouldn't be mad it'd be like again it still exists do what you want i don't care yeah that's fine yeah

as women our life stages come with unique risk factors like when our estrogen levels drop during menopause causing the risk of heart disease to go up know your risks visit heartandstroke.ca Ah, what have we got? Krypton, the planet. Oh, Krypton the series. It's getting the series. So that's going ahead. They're apparently going to do a pilot for SyFy. It's set 200 years in the past.

So this isn't the story of Jor-El. No. It's the father of Clark Kent. It's the story of Jor-El's father. Yeah, Superman's grandfather. Yeah, Mal-El, who's... I made that up. It's not listening. Who's...

I bet he has a name in the comics. I can't remember what it is. So the House of El has been shamed and ostracized, and it's him wanting to bring hope and equality to Krypton, I guess just in time for it to explode. Great. He's like, finally, I guess just in time for it to explode. Great. He's like, finally, I've done it.

Bang. So what's the point of this, Mason? You know what? It could be interesting from the perspective of we could get origins of like Doomsday Brainiac, you know, like a whole lot of these ancient Kryptonian monsters and threats that then show up to fight Superman. It'd be good to see them, like the genesis of them and how Krypton initially deals with them.

So I think there could be some good stuff here. Who is producing this? What channel is it on? Sci-fi. You mentioned that. I did. With your words. That's okay.

I wasn't listening. I was Googling Superman, the grandfather. What universe are we putting? What continuity is it going in? I don't know. Well, it's David Goya who has a big hand in

oh so Man of Steel universe so it's possible but that being said that's a very difficult look to recreate for television and yeah look

as we've mentioned it's also looks like a very difficult world to live in yes because you've got to call up some sort of weird floating platform

if you want to go down the shops yeah or you've got your big dragonfly monster. Maybe you can fly on a dragonfly. Yeah. All the ships look like bugs or are bugs. Skulls are in.

How do you meet your mates down at the pub? You don't. Don't want to live in that world. You stay in and you look at your weird pin art TV and do whatever. No, who knows what the design of it's going to be. I'm hoping it's not just like crystals and shit again. Yes. I like crystals.

It's great. We've seen a lot of crystals. At least see maybe some variation. Superman's grandfather is called Seig L. S-E-Y-G-L. Is it like Segway? Yeah, it's Segway. Is it spelled like that?

Speaking of Segways. Yes. William Defoe. Thank you. That was great. You really helped William Defoe. Thank you. That was great. You really helped me out there. Thank you.

He has joined the Justice League in a mystery role. Riddler? Mystery? That's not a big enough. Mystery? I guess. You mean Mystery the pickup artist? That dickhead.

Yeah. I like his big hat and eyeliner. And the way that he tricks women into sleeping with him he's my hero in a way who can he be Maxwell Lord have they already cast Maxwell Lord I don't think so that guy's such a dickhead

Maxwell Lord not Wynlethaw mystery Maxwell Lord is in Legends of Tomorrow at the moment so I don't know whether I think if they were

going to use him they would have kind of made sure that didn't happen. Here's some characters. But didn't they do that with Flash and Arrow? They did with the Suicide Squad. Yeah, so it's definitely possible. There has been some suggestions.

Could he be Lex Luthor? Oh, yeah, that would work. He's got the weird long face. He does. He's got a weird skull-like face. He could be Lex Luthor Sr. Yes, he could. Everybody's hoping for. Do you think he'd look weird with a shaved head? He's too a weird skull-like face. He could be Lex Luthor Sr. Yes, he could. Everybody's hoping for.

Do you think he'd look weird with a shaved head? He's too gobliny. Yes. I'm going to Google bald Willem Dafoe and see what happens. We should also point out that like J.K. Simmons, he had major roles in the Spider-Man trilogy. Yeah, that's true. And they've both come over.

J.K. Simmons actually came out and said, hey, my role in justice league is pretty it's pretty small but i'll they'll be kind of increased in subsequent movies films here's some bald willem defoe's some of them may be photoshopped some may be real that looks pretty good looks pretty good right he'd make a great defoe of superman thank you whatever he's doing is great he's a good actor he's got incredibly no body fat somehow yes still yeah he's obviously familiar

with this kind of comic book world so he can do stuff in front of a blue screen or put on a weird suit if he needs to yep yeah hey Willem Dafoe the whole world's ending and Superman's flying in to save us right there on that X alright here we go I'll use my acting yeah great good stuff you know what else is great

mason what's that game of thrones is back yeah it'll be out by now by the time this comes up i haven't watched it you're fired up i've been i bloody am because i'm like i want to get this done i want to get edited or get it out there And then I'll sit down and relax. So I haven't been on the Twitter to know that Jon Snow is inevitably back. Yeah. Maybe not this episode, but, you know, soon. George, sorry, before we get to that, they've been talking about they're going to wrap up the series. They're going to do 13, maybe 13 more episodes in total.

Ideally, that's what the showrunners want to do. After season six. Yes, after the season. So there's 10 in this season and then do six or seven episodes for the next two seasons because it's got to the point where they've got multiple crews

filming simultaneously around the world for like six month periods of time. And then you've got special effects on top of that and you're managing catering for one. Oh, absolutely. And I think I've mentioned this before, the budget for the first season was $6 million in total.

This latest season is $10 million an episode. Wow. So it's really kind of set up its game. Incest is not cheap. No, it certainly isn't. So from a strictly managerial perspective, it makes sense. Look at this bean counter over here.

From a strictly managerial perspective, look. Who cares about the story as long as we're bringing in the big dollars for hbo well that's the thing i i don't i i feel like game of thrones is not making the money it should because the amount of people that pirate it but hbo don't really seem to care correct that and i think you've said this before is because they own everything yeah i don't need the money and they've got subscription services that have just been running for 30 years that they've just been sitting on. And I mentioned this before as well, in Australia that you can get it through Foxtel.

And that's like, they may have changed it now, but it's the only platform where you can legally get it. So you're going to watch it on Foxtel? Of course I am. Yeah. But you have to pay $50 a month. Minimum. Minimum to get a bunch of shit and live sport which i won't watch to watch one episode of 10 episodes of game of thrones a year yeah which of course i did because i love

legitimacy yeah you do yeah i hate online piracy but look if they were like it's 60 bucks or 100 bucks for the season totally i mean of course i would it would be way easier to do that than probably pirate it which some people would do yeah yeah immoral people certainly the dregs of humanity yeah anyway can you give me a copy of it later yeah okay definitely um i think because you know we talked about a few weeks ago there was that it was this toy for incredibly rich people, which was this home cinema box. Yeah. Where you can get first run movies for, what was it, $100 a month or something?

Something like that, yeah. Something like that. They've slowly decreased the rates. I've actually got friends who worked for them and recently got let go because they've only got about 150,000 subscriptions in Australia, which is nothing. What are we talking about, Foxtel? Foxtel. Oh, okay. What were you talking about?

I was talking about that, you know, that box where you can get first run movies? Oh, the new one. Yeah, that experimental. Right, yeah, which is nothing. What are we talking about? Foxtel? Foxtel. Oh, okay. What were you talking about? I was talking about that box where you can get first run movies. Oh, the new one. Yeah, that experimental. Right, yeah, yeah, yeah. That, I think- The Napster Kid. Yeah, the Napster, exactly, yeah. He's probably 40.

I think they could do that with Game of Thrones. Definitely. I reckon they could go 100 bucks a month. Yeah. Game of Thrones box. Yeah. I don't know, you pay 100 bucks and then when there's a new season of Game of Thrones, you pay 100 bucks.

Yeah. It could be as easy as an app that you download to your PlayStation or your television or whatever. And you don't have to pay for Foxtel. Exactly. It's good. Yeah. But of course, Rupert Murdoch and the people behind Foxtel, which is owned by... This is getting very political, this episode.

It certainly is. And probably Barnaby Joyce. Barnaby Joyce! Australia's greatest dog killer has swooped in and bought the rights for Game of Thrones. And now they get real pissy that nobody wants to pay 50 bucks a month for a year to watch 10 episodes of TV. Bunch of fucking idiots.

Anyway, so I got friends to let go because they're shipping a lot of that Foxtel stuff to overseas, to South Africa. Because they didn't jump on the bloody digital bandwagon. They stuck to their guns. What were they thinking? Way to go, idiots. What a nightmare.

Anyway, in other Game of Thrones news, George R.R. Martin says the next series, because they've talked about Game of Thrones spinoffs, they might do these two-hour telemovies. Well, ideally, he said. There's telemovie. You just get a weird. It's different. I feel like a telemovie now is different than a telly movie of yesteryear

oh yes and they'll focus on the Dunkin' Egg story you familiar with Dunkin' Egg? I'm familiar with Dunkin' Donuts as you can tell no I'm quite trim that's true

you look after yourself yeah you don't want a Dinoffro weird Dinoffro weird? not for a few years I think though when I hit about 60

yep you're not going to hit 60. That's very ambitious. Look, if I hit 60, my heart doesn't explode. I would like to become one of those guys who's very rotund and wears like a three-piece suit. And all the time look like a golden watch chain across my big belly. That's what I want to be. All right then.

Dreams can come true. I think so. But not in your case because you'll be dead. Anyway, Dunkin' Egg. Yeah, it's a prequel kind of series. dreams can come true i think so not in your case because you'll be dead anyway duncan duncan egg yeah it's like a it's a it's a prequel kind of series i've read the comic or one of the comics is as um that they've released it focuses on this this hedge knight and a squire and the squire is maybe not who you think he is maybe somebody more important do you think it's a wizard no i don't think it's dumbledore yes i do do you think it's john snow yes do you think it's a pile of snow it's all those things

and potentially more wow and they're more kind of they're lighter in tone it's more kind of an action adventure a bit of a romp

yeah so I definitely recommend the Duncan Egg comics okay I haven't read the actual short stories if there are any

there probably are I'm sure there are but it's just a little insight into the history of Westeros yeah and the world of GOT. Or A Song of Fire and Ice, as the books are called.

A Song of Ice and Fire. I said that. No, you didn't. No, I said it in my brain. Oh, okay then. All right. We know what we're talking about, guys. That's right.

So there's a series of stories that follow those guys. And you don't need to know about any of the other characters. No, you don't. So hypothetically speaking, if at the end of every season of Game of Thrones, you forget every single character and you have to read the wiki as you're watching it to remember who is who. That's right. And you'd be okay with these.

HBO do a great recap. They do. They did a three and a half minute one, which I watched just today. It's on their YouTube channel. It's just like, this is the shit that happened last season. Great. Yeah. So get into it, Mason.

That being said, you don't have to get into it. You live your own life. I think I will. You get as bloody, eat as many donuts as you want, mate. All right. Are you excited Game of Thrones is back though? Yeah. We'll obviously do it.

We don't really do TV, talk about TV so much anymore. Like The Flash had a big thing happen this week and I'm like, I don't even know what that is. People said, can you talk about it? And I say, no, I can't. I can't because I don't know what it is. Okay, then. I did watch the Flash Supergirl team up. How was that?

It's good. It's a good fun time. But again, it's... Ally McBeal is still the best character in that show. Sweet. Look, Supergirl and Flash, they're very charming. Good chemistry. Good chemistry? Good chemistry.

I thought it was pretty good. But again, I think the writing's letting them down. It feels very... It feels very like... Ally McBeal? No, it feels very like... It feels like maybe it'd work in a kid's comic book, like a dialogue.

Right, right. And you'd go, oh, yeah, it's kind of corny, but it's fine because it's for the kids or whatever. But it does... Do they fight or do they immediately team up no they team up they do a race not really no what's the point then yeah i know right i mean they they they they have a run at the end right they kind of a bit of a casual jaunt yeah they have all they have a casual jaunt because flash needs to get back to his own dimension right and. Oh, so it's dimensional? Yeah. Okay, sure. They're not set in the same universe.

Right, gotcha. So they have to... That solves a lot of problems for things happening in retrospective universes and they don't cross over.

And so he has to get back to his own dimension and he needs a whole bunch of kinetic energy when he can't supply the whole bunch so

they have to both run together. Fantastic. It's a fun little thing. And in hand? Yeah, but again, no.

What's the point there, Mason? But it's very... I don't know. I wish it was better. Or I wish I liked it more. I don't know. I think maybe it's one of those shows where if you watch it enough,

you go... You get invested in the characters. You invest in the characters. They're kind of charming and nice. Yeah. And I don't mind that the dialogue's kind of dumb. Yeah, there's a lot of shows

that, like I said, I'm really behind but Supernatural I'm a big fan of. And at this point, I don't mind that the dialogue's kind of dumb. Yeah, there's a lot of shows that, like I said, I'm really behind, but Supernatural I'm a big fan of. And at this point, I don't know whether it's because I just like the chemistry and the characters and I like those two, or whether or not it is the best show of all time. It's probably the second one, though. Probably.

Yeah. What else is happening? Look, I know this isn't a proper episode in the sense we don't have a topic. We did all news. That happens every now and then, man. Man, we really prepped for that Spider-Man episode, though. But... Why do I have all these notes prepped for that Spider-Man episode, though. But...

Why do I have all these notes on my phone about Spider-Man movies? Oh, well, delete, start again. So I thought, as a straight, everybody loves this segment. I'm going to bring back... Oh, I bet our most favorite segment. Yeah. Is it hate mail, but the hate's got an eight in it. That's right.

Where I read out eight pieces of hate mail that I receive. Sometimes you also receive eight pieces. I just love to be included, guys it that's right where i read out eight pieces of hate mail that i receive sometimes you also receive uh eight eight pieces i just love to be included guys but i can tell if it's a fake one um our our friend robert collings at raw collins yes he has made an animated version of one of his youtube channel he's been doing a bunch of um animations as well yeah i should link that below but he's also posted them on the reddit or somebody posts them on the reddit if he doesn't and they're great so he puts it together and it's really he's got some skills that yeah yeah uh so look as always there's not eight there's ten great but traditionally there's eight which is never a tradition that i think i've actually never actually happened

stuck to okay here we go this is from my star wars um oh i should have i mentioned we were talking about youtube the uh the uh johnny depp amber heard video has like 20 000 thumbs down it's pretty good great yeah pretty good that's quite a loss yeah uh this is from uh roe do and this is on my star wars the force awakens deleted scene video oh yeah where i talk about all the things that didn't quite make the cut and he says sounds like a delightful video There's no way anyone could hate that. Even with an eight in it. Wow, you are way off. Way off is in capitals.

The script for this movie was written in the 80s. Is that true? No. It was written by the guy who had done one of the original trilogy movies. Everything you said was wrong. Please fact check before you post garbage like this. I love a fact checker who themselves does not fact check. I know,'s really good so wait is he trying to do you ever click on a person can you if you click on a person yeah you can go to their thing can you find out what other things

they've commented on uh it depends on their level of privacy i genuinely don't go through do you think this guy's maybe trying to spread this conspiracy gospel that this movie was made in the 80s right right and what i enjoy about that is it suggests that it was made in the 80s but it has this it's so prescient that we'd have such a love for like the millennium falcon yeah yeah when we see it we're like hooray yeah yeah it's you know you know what i mean so you think that he's just we're just trolling them i think he's just being like this is people gotta see this

right right we can't believe JJ Abrams lies anymore but on the topic of that like they threw out all of George Lucas' ideas which George Lucas

has famously said he goes this is what I would do and they went well that's great we're doing none of that so what George

would you say is the exact opposite of that? He was talking about teen characters and a bunch of other stuff. I would be interested to know what he wanted to do. Yeah, but anyway. This is four comments from the same guy oners top worst Transformers video that I did like three years ago. Oh great. Are these new? I think they're new-ish

because when I go to my dashboard it shows like the latest five. I saw one of these and I'm like, oh interesting. I'm like, oh there's more than one? Great. So the first one is... So this guy was just googling for some Transformers vids. This is Sadiq Ben and he says, first one is quit rambling, man.

And the next one says, and what's wrong with Computron? Which is a famous-ish Transformer. He is a combiner, I believe. He is, he is, yeah. And he computes, he's like, angle of attack, 45 degrees. He says the things.

Is he the rescue bot? No, I don't know if he is. Couldn't tell you. All right, good. But sure, yes, he is. But he calculates and then says out loud what he's going to do before he, good. But sure, yes, he is. But he calculates and then says out loud what he's going to do

before he does it. So I'm like, that's dumb. What a dumb thing to do. And he says, what's wrong with Computron? Technobots. Technobots.

That makes sense. One of them's probably the Periscope guy. How dare you? What's he called? The Microscope guy. That's Perceptor. Yeah.

No, he's his own man, all right? I don't think he is. Yeah, well, he's a sniper now, isn't he? That bloke. Like, he got cool. Potentially. He does have a laser in that microscope. He certainly does.

Okay. Probably. And what's wrong with Computron? You don't know nothing, kids these days. Also, this is an adult man. I should say. He's probably older than you. Well, he thinks he is.

And dissing Megatron? picking on Soundwave, WTF. Don't pick on Soundwave. Well, he turned it into a boombox. I like that he's got little Transformers that come out of him, like a laser beam. Yeah, but don't pick on Soundwave. Oh, you're right. Sorry. He's not here to defend himself.

Because he's fictional. Yeah. Yeah. You must have grown up in the era and watched this era and watched Michael Bayformers and Transformers Animated. You know nothing about Transformers. Do us a favor and delete this channel, please. That's very good.

There's one more. No, that's okay. Yeah, go ahead. I got a bad Transformer for you. Your channel, because it sucks. Your channel isn't Transformer to anything. This guy's good though he's good no that's

that's oh that's excellent on so many levels that is a bad transformer for you that's like a Transformers Action Master that didn't transform

that's right yeah I had one of them because it's just a channel which one did you have I had the yellow plane guy I don't know what his name was

probably his name was probably Seaspray sure what did you have? I had Optimus Prime. The one that didn't transform? Yeah.

I have every version of Optimus Prime, I'm pretty sure. Really? Yeah. Even the new one? That's not true. Unlikely. That's a very bold and sweeping statement. No, and I had Grimlock, I think.

Okay, sure. Of the action mark. The ones that didn't transform, yeah. They were just like G.I. Joe's. They action marks. The ones that didn't transform, yeah. They were just like G.I. Joes. They were G.I. Joes, essentially, yeah. That was the last ditch attempt at making Transformers before Transformers kicked off again. Right, right, okay.

Transformers are not doing well. We have to fix this. Should we make really good Transformers like they, back in the day like high quality transformations and like die cast metal parts no let's just make transformers that don't transform that'll get the kids back when can we make the darth vader one that transformed into a tie fighter oh we're still a couple decades that's right we'll wait yeah anyway i love that guy yeah i love it i love his passion me too i love his enthusiasm for a show that, quite frankly, isn't that good. I love his defence

of a brand that doesn't need any defending. I love that. That's so good. This is from Cameron Blakely and this is on

because, you know, now I post the podcast to YouTube, which I do because a lot of people say, can you put it on YouTube? So I do. Also, it helps

when I'm selling ad spots because it just bumps the numbers up. So that's probably the main reason. Look at this bloke. Look at this bean can. Look at this money machine over here. I've been against ads from the start.

That's not true. That's not true. We didn't have an ad this week. No. But I just wanted to mention we were in Geek Fuel magazine. We were in Geek Fuel magazine. If you subscribe to the Geek Fuel box, you get the Geek Fuel magazine.

Yeah. And we got a profile in there, which is very nice. Now, I didn't see the ad copy before it was sent in. I didn't see the profile copy. What does it say again? It does say that I like Yu-Gi-Oh. I did do that. I just want to be clear, for anyone who is reading that,

I don't like Yu-Gi-Oh. I love it. Oh, you love it? No, I don't actually know what Yu-Gi-Oh is. I think it's a card game. It's a weird Pokemon knockoff. Okay, you love it? Yeah, no, I don't actually know what Yu-Gi-Oh! is. I think it's a card game, right? It's a weird Pokemon knockoff. Okay, great. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, very good. Well played. Thank you. Now, it's literally the only printed primary source for us. That's right. So, now that's official canon, I guess. Geekfuel.com slash Weekly Planet if you want one. You'll probably get some money for that.

Even if you miss it, I reckon you could probably just be like, can you send me another copy? Totally. I think you can get the old ones. Or you can just look on Twitter. Somebody will post a picture of it. Cameron Blakely. This is on the podcast video.

Sounds like a fake name, but all right. Real guy. Real face. Real human face on there. Because, you know, normally I always just do a still image. I started experimenting with putting different images of the topics we're talking about, but it just took too long. So I thought, I'm not doing it anymore.

You don't have time to bloody swim in your money bin. That's exactly right. You dirty dog. Are they serious? 10 minutes of nothing, not watching it. I suggest you guys unsubscribe to these fucktards. These guys are really... I'm enjoying them,

but these guys are really adamant. They're not just like, I'm not going to listen to this or like this isn't for me no thank you this isn't for me it's delete your channel

hey everyone get up rally up a crew and get them all to unsubscribe these guys we should get these guys together yeah we should get these guys together

for their own podcast oh they'd be great and they just listen to our podcast and hate it for an hour this is from Shane Meyer I don't know and hate it for an hour this is from shane meyer i don't uh i don't know what video this on it this is on but it's way and it's way it's got six a's way too much time on your hands you need to know what a real woman feels like what's what's that by definition hang on what was what was i i zoned out for a second what

were you talking about there uh this is a guy comment on a different video way too much time on your hands you need to know what a real were you talking about women i don't i don't know i doubt it when am i ever like these are the sexiest babes from the transformer verse these are the sexiest babes you missed in the suicide squad trailer yeah uh i don't know what that's from by definition what would you say a real woman is just anybody who is a woman just any woman without context i don't know yeah you would i think it'd just be maybe it's from that transformers video it might be he's very confused you guys need to you guys need to know what a real woman real women don't have microscopes on their shoulders some do some can be scientists as well. Just a casual microscope. Real women don't start as like various high-tech vehicles

and then combine into one large robot. Some do. Some do. This guy. This is from Mike Alisi. This is on my... Oh, like, okay. Like what?

Like Mike Alisi. Very good. Is it a pun? I don't know. Okay, all right. I'll ask him. Please. Will you engage in the regular correspondence with,

because, I mean, you've got to get all these guys to sign a release form. That's correct, yeah. So you've got to talk to them later. Yeah. So this guy, this is on my, I made a video on how don't make everything R-rated for the sake of it being R-rated. I was saying that some things it's totally suited for

and it'd be great, but don't just make something R-rated because you think it's now the thing to do. You know what I mean? Yeah. And he says- He shouldn't take any issue with that though well i thought initially he didn't but then he starts it with shut up aussie got sick of decades of shit capital from us no just pg-13 flicks designed to get 14 year old asses asses i'm gonna say i'm gonna say if I can take a wild stab in the dark, this guy's 16. He looks older than that in his picture. Okay.

In Friday night movie seats. Fuck you, dickbag. Very good, Mike. Well, he knows the power you wield now. That's true. You can make a Zack Snyder make a bad movie. I can make a Zack Snyder make a bad movie. Yeah.

This is from Mark Roberts. Also, is that guy also just... What else is he doing? Like, is he starting a Change.org petition? He might be. Is he just yelling at people making videos on the internet? Because you're not really a kingmaker in terms of... I don't think so.

No, I set no trends. Is he petitioning all the 20th Century Fox and all the movie studios? Potentially. Is he bashing away at his keyboard? He's definitely bashing away at his keyboard, that I know. Is he starting a letter writing campaign? I don't know. Well, shut up then, idiot.

Stop wasting time. It's alone. Don't know. Don't know, it's great. Don't know what this one's from. Mark Robertson says, Please fucking kill yourself, you useless, stupid, nerdy sack of shit. Oh, so that's just to you?

That's just to me specifically. That's capital S-H-I-T as well. Yeah, good. This one's directed to you from Adnan. You guys are half twits. Okay. Not half wits. Oh, but half twits.

Half twits. Okay. Does that mean we're half okay? Maybe, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So he's like, listen, you're 50% pretty good. Or we're reminiscent of the roald dahl characters the twits that's a great book about bullying so we're half great yeah that's

right okay good yeah let's take it this is from uh gerald i'm a fly degrull okay okay this is on my batman kill count video i feel a lot also a lot of the username often reveals. Certainly. This is a bullshit video. Batman kill count. I said that, didn't I? Ra's death, for instance, is definitely not

a kill count. I love capitalization. Yeah, I know. It's good, isn't it? I love random capitalization. I see you edited out the part where Batman soars away

trying to make him look more guilty than he is. Wouldn't me putting him in soaring away make him look more guilty, though? If he's escaping he's like

see ya dickhead. Maybe photoshopping in a nice wave. Yeah. Yeah. And now thanks to your fucked up video all the morality

and ethics Christopher Nolan so desperately brackets and successfully tried to give Batman is forever gone. Please kill yourself.

I think that's fair. So all the morality that was worked into those movies I've torn away. You have, that's true. From just that kill? Because he kills

a bunch of other people in those movies. He does blow up that building full of ninjas. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Which I'm okay with, I guess.

Yeah, what can you do? Yeah. That's very good. I enjoy that. That's all of them though. That's Hate Mail but the hate has an eight in you do? Yeah. That's very good. I enjoy that. That's all of them, though. That's hate mail, but the hate has an eight in it. So good. For this week.

What a great segment. So I'll be saving them up. That'll be back in a few months or weeks, depending on... Can you go through that guy again? One more time. Can you bring that up? Sure. Can you read it out again?

This is a bullshit... I just want to drink it in. No problem. Okay. It's from Gerald. This is a bullshit video. Ra's death, for instance, is definitely not a kill count. I see.

It's definitely not a kill count. Not on its own. It's a kill. Yeah. On its own. I see you edited out the part where Batman soars away, trying to make him... I like when people put in punctuation that doesn't work. Like, you're putting it in, but you're not putting it in the right places.

Trying to make him look more guilty than he is. And now, thanks to your fucked up video, all the morality and ethics, Christopher Nolan so desperately... Ethics. And successfully tried to give Batman his forever gone. Please kill yourself. Why are you so biased in your funny videos?

I don't know how I do it. Why do you sacrifice true facts in a fake movie in order to fear comedy stylings? I don't like it. I don't know. Look, my kill counts aren't known for being incredibly accurate. They're just like... Actually, I've got Ben's...

There's a guy called Ben's editing at the moment. He did the latest one, the Captain America one. He does good work, man. He edits them better than I do. So maybe there's another one coming out soon that he's working on. Maybe he's not. Maybe he's being killed. I don't know.

I haven't had an email from him. I don't know. I haven't had an email from him. Oh. I don't know. I don't have the latest email. I hope you're okay, Ben, wherever you are. He's a great bloke. I hope you haven't been cyberbullied

in a submission by the haters. That's right. On the internet. But do you know what it's time for? What's it time for? It's time for a segment of the show where we talk about

what we've been reading. Oh, and then what we're going to read. Correct. I'm doing the thing. about what we've been reading. Oh, and then what we're going to read. Correct. I'm doing the thing.

What are we reading today? It's called What We Read and What We're Going to Read. That's what it's called. Yeah, nice. You want to kick it off? Yeah, sure. I'm kicking it off now. Oh, jeez.

Jeez, mate. As I mentioned, I watched the aforementioned Supergirl Flash crossover. What made you go there all of a sudden? Like, just out of nowhere? People mention it and I'm like, you know, I like Flash. It's a good, fun show. Maybe I'll give it another chance. And you did.

Yeah. And also, my holidays were ending and I was sort of grasping at straws, entertainment-wise. Just like, you know when your holidays end and you're just like, I've got to extend this out as long as possible. If I stay up every night until 6 a.m., then my holidays will never end. That's right. So I watched that. I started re-watching Kimmy Schmidt. Is that season one?

You know what? Because it's a new season. Yeah, season one and two. I never finished watching season one. Me neither. And I'm like, because I came right off the back of probably Parks and Rec and 30 Rock and I'm like

jokes per minute this isn't as and it didn't have the cynicism I guess of probably 30 Rock you know as a Tina Fey production I'm like where's the

where's that cynicism where's the cynicism but then I got back into it I'm really digging it so you're not into season two as of yet

no I'm on the last episode of season one great how many episodes are there a season 13 okay I think I got seven or eight in so yeah I'm really, really digging it. Is it not season two as of yet? No, I'm on the last episode of season one. Great. How many episodes are there a season? Thirteen. Okay. I think I got seven or eight in, so. Yeah.

I'm going to get back to that. Nice. Better Call Saul wrapped up this week. Oh, yes. Ten episodes. Did you watch it? No. We don't really talk about it, but that is a fantastic, probably one of the best shows

on television at the moment. Wasn't happy with the kind of the way that it ended, the cliffhanger. Yep. Because it seems as though they're only doing like 10 a year and now i've got to wait another you know so many months between the next now and the next season but it's just it's real like spin-off series generally don't work looking at you after mash uh looking at you probably some of the dc stuff on television but some of it's quite good or okay looking at you agents of shield spin-off it's not out yet but no it's like

the lead what's his name Bob no what's his name yeah it's bloody Bob Ode Bob Odenkirk there we go

oh boy he's terrific yeah yeah it's just and it's you know there's a big emphasis on him and Mike emphasis

on him and Mike from Breaking Bad. It doesn't feel like they're trying to shoehorn too much Breaking Bad stuff into it. I was just going to ask about that. Have you seen it before? Which one? Better Call Saul. I watched the first six episodes of the first season.

Yeah, you should watch it. I'm not against it. It sounds like you're against it. Again, there's just so much coming at me. There is. You know what I mean? Now that your holidays are over, you don't need to fill that void in your life.

You can just go to work but i'm also reading unless you've got another thing well i do you got one more thing you go and then i'll go i'm happy to wait i'll just sit here quietly listen listen a couple of friends uh three friends of mine do a podcast my friends uh dave jess and matt all your friends do podcasts yeah i know so it's not really look a friend of mine do a podcast. My friends Dave, Jess and Matt. All your friends do podcasts. Yeah, I know. So it's not really... Look, a friend of mine does a podcast as per usual. It's called Do Go On.

Have you ever listened to The Dollop? I haven't. I know what it is. The Dollop is Dave Anthony and Gareth Reynolds and they talk about various sort of events in American history and that sort of stuff. And it's a very good show. This is a show...

These guys basically every week, one of them... This this is a, I mean, it is a plug, but I'm not on any episodes. Yes. No, they don't have any guests or anything like that, but I've been listening to this and I really dig it. So it's basically every week one of them picks a topic and they have to do a report on it and they have to tell the other two about it and sort of fight

their way through just being dragged down. Being harangued. Yeah, by the other two. So they'll do like, they'll talk about Sherlock Holmes. They'll talk about the mystery of D.B. Cooper. They'll talk about Monty Python. Oh, so it's just literally whatever. It's basically, yeah.

So, I mean, it is sort of reminiscent of the dollar, but it's like, you know, instead of it being about historical events, it could be about being left-handed. It could be about Bonnie and Clyde, the Y2K bug, like any kind of thing. Remember that? Yeah, I know, right? We all bloody...

Nobody... Did you panic? It didn't affect anything. No, but I wasn't worried beforehand, maybe because I was a teen man. I was in school, so I was like, whatever, man. Yeah, this whole world goes, burns down. Fight club, good.

I'll be fine. I got my Korn CDs. I got other things that I'm angry about fine I got my corn CDs I got other things that I'm angry about got my disc man I got a set of rechargeable batteries that's right

oh wait when am I going to plug them into oh no so angsty anyway do go on it's on iTunes just quickly speaking

of the 90s everyone look up Lincoln Bark video where it's dogs doing a Lincoln Park cover it's very funny but no I've been I've been jonesing for some like,

I've been trying to read a lot of, not trying to, I've just naturally kind of drifted towards reading like hopeful, inspiring Superman stuff. And I couldn't find this on Comixology, so I actually ordered it. The Superman Piece on Earth. Oh, yeah.

I've never read it. It's still in the box. And by box, I mean plastic. But I will be un-plasticating it. That would be worth a lot more if you never open it. So never open it right now. Yeah, don't do it. But no, it's...

Do an unboxing. Do a live unboxing. Well, you can see it before we bloody open it. Okay. He's doing a live unboxing, folks. We might be doing... It is clear plastic. We should...

We might actually be doing some unboxing coming up. Oh, yeah. I hope people really don't like that. Wow. This is really something. Look at the... What's the art? What's this guy who does the art?

Alex Ross. Yeah, it's good stuff. It's for a What's the art? What's this guy who does the art? Alex Ross. Yeah, it's good stuff. It's for a premium format comic book. It's real floppy. It's bloody enormous too. Yeah. It's like as big as a sexy calendar from the 80s. Yeah.

Oh, wow, look at that. Look at real good, right? Look, it's Superman hugging a lion. That's pretty good, isn't it? It's like a Cliff Richard calendar. Yeah. No, that's going to be great. it? It's like a Cliff Richards calendar. Yeah. No, that's going to be great. You're going to have a ball.

Does your mum keep sending you the video of the guy who makes friends with the lion? My mum is not on Facebook. My mum has an iPhone. And I said, she got one very recently. And I said, so you're going to be texting mum? And she's like, no. She's like, I'll be sexting though. I'll never stop.

Looking forward to Superman Peace on Earth though. Yeah, it's going to be great. Yeah. Have a good old time. Maybe you could borrow it afterwards. Yeah, I've read it already. You don't have to borrow it. Jesus, I'm trying to offer you something.

You could have just said yes. I've read it and I'm done. I'm one and done with Superman Peace on Earth. All right. Is it good? Yeah, it's good. Okay, great. Yeah.

All right. Let's do the segment. What's the time for now? Letters. It's loading. I hit it way far in advance, but then it didn't. Still didn't.

Yeah. I blame your wifi. Look, maybe someone's downloading a bunch of torrents right now and that's why it's not working. But maybe that's not it. Maybe they've got a VPN so the bloody coppers will never find them.

Maybe they do. Maybe they're always one step ahead. That's right. Maybe they're a Lex Luthor style genius downloading Game of Thrones. That's right.

This is from Ali. Spoilers. Spoiler? What do you think of the crazy Episode 8 rumour? I might say what it is potential spoilers for Star Wars episode 8 I'll put a time stamp in

that being said this is definitely fake okay alright I've not heard it I mean it might not be fake some things aren't fake yeah

the rumour of Rey being Luke's father so the idea is oh jeez there's a whole synopsis on reddit I'm not going to link it because I've done it

of course it's on Reddit. Yeah, exactly. Where they know the whole story. And the part of it is, I'm not going to recount the whole thing, that she goes to Luke, how dare you leave me on that planet? Yep. You're my father. You're supposed to look after me.

And he goes, no, you're my father because she's a reincarnation of Anakin. And then at some point a whole lot of different Jedi ghosts appear. Because I guess it's kind of like the Matrix Reloaded, where there's been a lot of the ones. Oh, yeah. So nobody's... She's not... Like, Anakin or whatever isn't special anymore.

I mean, he was special. Where in this movie... Yeah, he was very special. Where in the movie... Where in Episode 8 is this set? Right at the start? That would be bizarre. Open with that. Is there a lot of in

in whatever's left of the the real continuity the the canon that is that is now yeah that they're who's been reincarnated or is this new no one so this would be new i i there's no precedent for it i don't think this cannot be real no i don't think they cannot open with this ryan johnson is a clever filmmaker yeah you would argue that he isn't because of Looper. Because of Looper, yeah. But I like Looper a lot. But he's better than that. Oh, absolutely.

Yeah. And also, what a weird turn... What a weird turn of it. You're my father. No, you're my father. Little girl. What if it opened with that and then just 90 minutes of reaction shot back and forth between them like i would watch that i would pay 20 for that of course you would

because hamill would bloody sell that for nine he would wouldn't he yeah god he's good that bloke and he'd slip in a cheeky Joker grin. Yeah, he would. One of them is wearing Joker makeup. Eyebrows just going up and down. So good. He's one of the best. You mentioned $20 for a movie ticket. I just wanted to mention there's a charity screening of Civil War that's happening in Melbourne at the Baldwin Cinema,

which I'll link below, where there's 310 seats that they're selling. Oh, we were a listener on Twitter. That's right. The donations go towards the Lighthouse Foundation, which takes homeless youth from ages 14 to 25 off the streets of Melbourne and gives them a home and food and looks after them. And so if you're in the area and you want to check that out, it's on the 30th.

I'll link the site below and buy a ticket. Also, if you're not in the area which most of you probably aren't uh you can actually buy a ticket and then after you've bought it you can email the organizer and they will give it to uh one of the someone in need so they can go into the civil war so if people want to um contribute to that nice it'd be cool thing to do but if you don't want to do it you're a bastard you're a bad boy whoa no look i i don't want to you know i don't want to be hitting up people for money all the time but i thought you were going to say i don't want to be hitler about this i do want to be hitler about this no um but you know it's a good cause and these guys are clearly you know it's for their school um and they're well not for the school they're doing it through school and it's what a it's a good project to kind of do

so yeah that's great get into it next bit of letter next bit of letter I should point out Twitter at Weekly Planet Pod

is the best place to contact us these are all Twitter questions this week because that email I just don't know again I look at it

you are visibly shaking you mentioned the email address which is weeklyplanetpod at gmail.com but you are visibly shaking. You mentioned the email address, which is weeklyplanetpod at gmail.com. But you're visibly like... To have a happy life, you want to aim for inbox zero.

That's right. We're at inbox 40,000 now. Yes. I do kind of skim it, but I just don't have the time. Not with all the money I'm making from all these ads that I'm selling. This is from though

at Lemurg on Twitter. So, hashtag weekly flannapod. Rumor has it that companies are trying to acquire the rights to a Pokemon live action movie. How terrible

would that movie be, Mason? Now you're more of a Yu-Gi-Oh man. I'm definitely a Yu-Gi-Oh man, yeah. I've got Yu-Gi-Oh running through my veins. That's right. If that is in fact possible. I'm sure it is.

I might have got Yogo going through oh okay yeah remember those yoga gorilla ads where they replicated like speed and stuff in stop motion with a gorilla yeah good stuff anyway so there's been rumors of a live action pokemon movie for years uh i don't think this i think there's a chance that this could be quite good you're just going to do the opposite of what they did for dragon ball evolution and the last air bender yeah just look at that and go, what didn't work there? Everything.

Let's do the opposite of that. Do you think they'll do a Pokemon appear in the real world? Or do you think they'll do Pokemon universe? I think it'll just be all in the world of Pokemon. That's, I think, the way that they do it. Do you know, Mason, I don't know if anyone's made this connection, but it's pretty much bloody dogfighting like it's Animal Crossing. That's true.

It's real, mate. It's good stuff. Animals and little balls It's real mean. It's good stuff. Animals and little balls being made to fight each other. Good stuff. What do you think a live action bloody, what's his name? Pikachu would look like. Just like a little animated, like he looked like Garfield from the Garfield movie.

Oh, yeah. Okay. I'm on board with that. I feel there's a certain amount of, it's not quite the uncanny valley. If you translate those animated characters to live action, they've got to tread that line very carefully. Otherwise, they're all just terrifying. You send your six-year-old to see that movie and they're scarred for life.

There's like a turtle with a cannon on its back or something. It's not my era. My brother, the one you don't like, for reasons made clear in the Q&A we did, that was more kind of his era. People obviously love the games from all ages. You know what I mean? Like people older than us kind of got into it because it's a great kind of role-playing battle strategy game.

So there is a massive market for a live-action Pokemon movie. So whoever gets the rights to this is going to make the billions of dollars probably. And if it's good, if it's shit, they'll probably just make a different movie next time. Yeah, absolutely. Learn from their mistakes. Do you think they'll go all Asian cast or a variation? I'm not exactly sure who's what race.

Are the characters in Pokemon Asian? I couldn't tell you. I think the main kid is. Oh, okay. But I couldn't tell you. I don't know Mason. There's Brock. There's Ash. There's somebody else. There's a girl. But I couldn't tell you. I don't know Mason. There's Brock. There's Ash.

There's somebody else. There's a girl. His name I forget. Great. I'm sorry, that girl. I'm sure you're integral to the plot. Do you think it'll be crap? That being said, we know nothing about it.

Oh, then yes. Damn. Good. This is from Sam. Hey, Sam. Who is the most misused DC character in film or television? Hashtag Weekly Planet Pod. Most misused.

Oh. Aside from Batman. I'm going to say aside from Batman. Sure. We've done many episodes on Batman. He shouldn't be killing all those people. I'm going to go with a mainstream one. I'm going to say Superman.

Okay. Especially after Batman, Superman. We're never going to get that like hopeful like inspirational Superman movie ever ever you're right not in the in the in the future not in the near future which

sucks because even like I still think yeah I've said this before when we haven't got that modern-day comic accurate kind of interpretation of

Superman there's not like a weird mopey jerk that's true yeah yeah true TV wise I think mostly they do a pretty good I think at the moment they're doing it like even you look at martian manhunter what they're doing with

supergirl it's yeah yeah it's looking great uh mishandled they've even got that big shark right yeah you know what i mean they've got gorilla grod right yeah more or less yeah oh let me think but again the stakes are lower, I guess. Certainly, yeah. In the TV world, you can forgive more. Yeah, right. I guess. What about Lex Luthor?

Yeah, he's been mishandled, I think. Yeah. A lot. Yeah. Yeah. In most incarnations. Like the Gene Hackman one is what it is, but a lot of that is kind of carried over, isn't it?

Yeah, it has. Yeah. Yeah. I think on the whole, DC are doing a decent job. what it is but a lot of that is kind of carried over hasn't it yeah it has yeah yeah I think on the whole DC are doing a decent job like even Batman even though he's a

murderer in the new one there's a lot of that that totally works I'll watch a PG rated version of Batman V Superman everybody's clamoring

for the R rated version wasn't this one PG oh like another one yeah like a better one more PG oh more more like you don't see or they like cg in people jumping out of the cars before they explode or right yeah

so a toned down version yeah less blood when superman gets punched in the mouth yeah they the guys that are boxed into that room where the hand grenade goes off they find a little secret exit and they dive out right yeah sure yeah and after each one of those batman goes i knew they'd do this because otherwise either way it's a tent otherwise it's still attempted murder so he has to be like knew they'd do that i looked up all their skills and one of them had opening a hatch yep on their resume at short notice so i knew yeah good stuff yeah so let's say some of the characters in Batman, Superman, and maybe some... I mean, they really handled Jimmy Olsen well, though.

Primo. Well done. So accurate. Nailed it. He had a camera. He got shot in the head. What else do you want? That's all you need.

That's all you need. Any others? I like Jor-El. You know what? Park Kent. The Kents family in general. Misused you feel well cast yep horrible influence that you're probably right yeah yeah that whole you don't have to help anybody he's like you know you don't have to you can just do whatever but see see i feel about that though that's more of the sense that they've instilled him in they've

instilled the moral values in him right and then And then they're like, well, you can do whatever you want. But I don't, you know. But then he's like, no, no, I, you know. But you don't see them instilling it in him. No, that's true. You never do, yeah. You just see them discouraging him. Yeah, that's true.

Yeah. Anyway, whatever. That's it. I think that's it. That's something else that sounds like Kent's. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Ah, bloody got him. So I just want to do a quick shout out to Rochelle's fiancee

who listens to the show. Apparently he's a big fan in the sense that he has listened to it. Great. That's all we need. And may continue to listen to it. As long as he's downloaded it separately, we're happy. That's right. He actually lost his sister about a year ago.

Oh, no. So that's obviously a difficult time for him and his family because, you know, when that time of year rolls around. So I just wanted to say sorry about, you know know i hope you're doing all right yeah you're probably a great bloke as far as we know yeah because if your fiancee likes you enough to write into a couple of guys to force a podcast on you that's right yeah you know you know they're a good one when you can force a podcast on them and they politely listen to it that's right sometimes some people have garbage fiancesés, don't they?

I can think of five off the top of my head. Yeah, I'm thinking of the same five. Okay. Yeah. Oh, special shout out to Jack. Jack was from WA. Yeah. He came to, he's a fan of this podcast.

He's a fan of the podcast Beer Eye With Your Mates Guys. Right, right. He's a fan of Is This The Podcast? Was it the podcast? In the end, it was the podcast. I knew it. Anyway, he came to Melbourne from WA and he talked to my friend Murphy and he's like, hey, what are some good comedy nights to go to?

And I was at Club Voltaire comedy last night. Right. And he popped in and he said hi. Cool. It was real good. Good bloke. Yeah. Did he buy you a beer?

He didn't buy me a beer. What a cheapskate. That's what I said. That's what you shouted at him. No, that's cool what's his name jack jack thanks jack yeah man you're all right by our books by our standards i think which are very low i figure if we personally shout at everyone that we meet eventually people will keep listening that's how we maintain a listenership that is correct yeah man that is the show for this week show we did it next week we will be...
