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. With me as always is my co-host, Nicholas Mason. It's me. I'm on the show. You are on the show. Hey, fun anecdote relating to the show. Yeah, yeah. I saw the movie we're going to talk about this week in the middle of Melbourne in the CBD.

And as I was leaving, I was going through the Emporium, which is a big shopping centre. Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium? Exactly. I hate that movie. It's a magical landmine. I've never seen it, but I hate the trailer. And somebody's like, Mace-o.

And I'm like, hey, man, without looking. And I'm like, I don't know who that is, but it was a listener, a weekly wackadoo, Nick, also, who was listening to the Weekly Planet as he saw me walking past. Podception. Podception. Which is the kind of experience that makes me feel like I'm living in a Truman Show universe.

Right, right. Because they're like, he wasn't that enthused about the last episode. Get him back in. Have a guy walk past him and be listening to the show. That'll get him back on board. Was he a nice guy, this other Nick? Yeah, he was a real nice guy. He was playing a bit of the Pokemon Go.

Oh, yeah. People are bloody getting into that. Listening to the podcast. Yeah, it was great. Absolutely. Good for him, man. We appreciate you, Nick. Not you.

Yeah, nobody appreciates me. We're famous in a weird way now, have you noticed? We're very specifically famous for a very small niche of whatever this is we're doing. Speaking of small niches, Mason, have you heard of Star Trek? No. You haven't? Star Trek. Yes.

Oh, sorry. Have you heard of Star Trek? Yes, absolutely I have, yes. Well, I've got some Star Trek 4 news. Great. We haven't even had 3 yet. I'm actually, I've got a review that will be up in a few hours. Does not compute.

Correct. I've got a review that will be up in a few hours correct I've got a review that'll be up in a few hours I'm going to see it so that'll be up soon if anyone cares Star Trek 4 though is going to bring back Chris Hemsworth

Khan not Khan I think they're not doing that again Chris Hemsworth yeah as George Kirk as George Kirk now if you've seen

the first Star Trek Mason which I know you have because we did a delightful commentary the other night and by delightful I mean we're really tired we were so tired we really miscalculated we're like well we didn't miscalculate there

were some issues which we discuss in the in the in the in the thing uh i'll link it below it's on the band camp where you can play it for free or you can pay a buck or whatever or whatever you want to pay and download it also if you're you're patreon.com slash Mr. Sam, it's already there. So maybe to get warmed up, Mason, get your bloody – I couldn't think of a Star Trek face. Get your phases warmed up, Mason. Put them by the fire. That's a phrase, isn't it? Yeah, put your phases by the fire.

Then, yeah, you could give that a listen. But, yeah, what do you think about that? Chris Hemsworth coming back, presumably time travel. Probably time travel. As we talked about. Or a clone. Or a clone. No, I think they'll do time. They love, presumably time travel. Probably time travel. As we talked about. Or a clone. Or a clone. No, I think they'll do time travel.

They love their bloody time travel. Or some sort of transporter accident, as we discussed. Oh, right. Remember he's been trapped in a transporter beam for a long time. Didn't we see him explode? He does a weird undignified explode towards the screen. Oh, he does too. That's true.

He explodes like various supporting characters in Ang Lee's The Hulk. Yeah, that's right. Flies towards the screen. Yeah, okay. Boy, doesn't he? We don't see him's The Hulk. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Flies towards the screen. Yeah, okay. Boy, doesn't he? We don't see him die, though. No, I guess not. Like, he could have been flung towards a transporter beam.

Yeah, yeah, okay. Or the depths of space to his death. One of those two. One of those two. I think they're going to do time travel. I think they're going to do transporter beam malfunction, but now he's evil. Oh, goatee.

Yeah, because then he's like, yeah, maybe. So he's going to be like. Oh, it might be mirror universe. I didn't factor that in. But I reckon he'll come back and Kirk will be, and James Kirk will be like, James Tiberius Kirk, will be like, Dad, I love you. You're back now.

And then he's like, but I'm evil now. And he's like, conflicted. See, I thought it would be kind of more they go on a little adventure together. Like the way that Picard and Shatner did in Generations. Sounds dumb, but all right. Sure. Well, it's all dumb, isn't it? Yeah.

It's all movie stuff. Maybe he just comes back in like a holodeck fishing hole kind of scenario. Sure. Okay. Well, either way, I think he's one of the best parts of that movie. I like the opening. I love the opening of that movie, actually. That's actually his first cinematic role,

which I think we also talked about. I'm not going to give away all the stuff we talked about, Mason. What did he do before that? Was he in Neighbours? He was in Neighbours. I think he was in Home and Away. He was in Dancing with the Stars, Australia. Oh, fresh off Home and Away.

That's right. Boy, that's a real dancing with the stars asterisk dancing with the stars in quotes daryl summers probably he hosted it didn't he then i think they kicked him because he did that racist thing on oh yeah it's out of a movie or he didn't it's not relevant let's go to the next thing okay speaking of james franco is that a segway no let's find a link james kirk james franco great we did it there we go uh he's rumored to be up for like the lead role in shane black's predators sequel which is predator 4 i guess now what is this what continuity is this in i guess it's all the same it's all the same it could be i mean because predator yeah, is obviously a direct sequel.

And Predators is kind of like the Aliens to Alien of Predators. Yes. Which I bloody love Predators. Me too. It's great. It's really good. It somehow made Adrian Brody into an action star of some sort. And you know what?

I think the smart thing about- The bloody twig in a breeze, Adrian Brody. He's bloody jacked as man in that. Yeah. It's covered in mud. He's running about. Yeah. What I love about that movie is-

And a shoddy. And a shoddy, mate. Shoddy's good, mate. They do. Two hands. Yeah. It's covered in mud. He's running about. Yeah. What I love about that movie is- And a shoddy. And a shoddy, mate. Shoddy's good, mate. Two hands. Yeah. It's a good quote. Great movie too, also. So what I love about that movie is they probably, they didn't go, let's just get Vin Diesel

or The Rock. Yeah. Let's get an Arnie type. Let's go differently. Let's go way out of the box. Yes. They got like a little scrappy, it was not little. They got like a scrappy SAS type.

Yeah. Which is what I'd imagine, I don't know many real soldiers, would be like. Like it's more likely that a guy like that who's kind of, he's all stealth and he's gone through the jungle or whatever. He's not going to be a big hulking man carrying a minigun. That's true. He's going to be a live Britishman. Yeah.

Yeah. He's not British in that. So what kind of role do you think, which way are we going with Predator this time, I guess? I don't know. Maybe it's urban. Well, they did that, but I guess people would be open to saying it again. Maybe a good one, though. Predator 2 is okay, right?

You reckon? It's fine. I reckon it's all right. I haven't seen it in a while. But Predators is great. I would say this. I think it's as good as the first Predator. That being said, of course Predator sets up the world and establishes the rules so in that sense obviously that's a better movie but i think predators is a worthy

successor agreed except for maybe the dogs are they all right yeah the dogs yeah they're all right uh so like what kind of role do you think he might be oh i reckon maybe like i don't think we i don't think you do you do you transform James Franco into a soldier? I think you leave him as whatever he is. What if he's a stoner slacker type? No, I don't want that. No, exactly. What about like a sleazy private detective?

Okay, sure. And he wants to, he needs to kind of get it together, man. He's just, he's there, he's in his car, he's doing some surveillance on like a cheating husband or something like that. Turns out the husband is cheating on his wife with a predator. That would be amazing. Right? Yeah.

And he thinks he's getting away with it because the predator is invisible. Right. But he's not getting away with it because James Cameron, James Franco has an infrared lens. He's got an infrared lens. Yeah. That's pretty good. I reckon this will ignore most of the continuity.

Yep. Not kind of disregard, not kind of go out of its way to kind of crush it, but I think it's going to be very much this is Predator 2. Because Shane Black wrote the first Predator. He's actually in it as well. Huh. Is he the mud? He's the mud, yeah.

No, I can't remember what he is in it. I think he's a soldier or a... I can't remember. I haven't seen it in ages. But, yeah, interesting. I like Shane Black's film. Don't love Iron Man 3, but everything else. It's been great.

I like it a lot. What about if James Franco is the son of Arnold Schwarzenegger? Does that work? Yes. You're right, it does. Thank you. There's a lot of rumours that Schwarzenegger's going that work? Yes. You're right, it does. Thank you. There's a lot of rumors that Schwarzenegger's going to come back. I think he will.

Yeah. I mean, he's not... What else is he doing? No, he's not the governor. He's doing promotions for that military strike mobile app. Oh, he is too. He's on all my YouTube ads. People are attacking him.

Yeah, that's right. I actually just bought, and I never do this, I bought an Arnold Schwarzenegger T-shirt, come with me if you want to lift, and it's like him on it. I don't know. What? I saw it and I went, I want that, I don't know why, and now it's on its way.

Come with me if you want to lift. Because you can lift weights. Oh, I thought you meant like a... If you want to get in the lift. No, I thought you, well, yeah, mobile strike, obviously, but I thought you meant like a lift in the car. Okay. So it's just him opening a door to an Uber.

Correct. Get in, mate. No. So I'll let you know how that goes when I get it. What era of Arnold Schwarzenegger is it? Or is it cartoon Arnold Schwarzenegger? It's the good era. What does that mean?

When he was a young man. Oh. Okay. But like pumping iron era? I think it's, I'd have to look it up. Hercules in New York era? I think it's after that'd have to look it up. Hercules in New York era? I think it's after that. Okay, sure.

Commando era. That's Prime Arnold's first time. That is... I'd say it's about then if I had to pick a time. That's all right. Primo. We've got one more bit of news, Mason, before we get into all the great stuff we're getting into.

Guardians of the Galaxy, there was some concept art put out. I did see that, yeah. They all look pretty similar-ish. There's a few additions, though. Important to note, Groot's still real tiny. Yeah. He's real Groot. So there's talk that he's different because he's young.

He's like a little baby kind of guy. Yeah. Because if you get completely disintegrated when you come back, are you the same, Mason? Ask Kirk's dad, Andrew Kirk. That's his name, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah, I knew it.

What do you think about that? I think that's a really good question. Do you think he's going to be their minions? We can only hope. It's going to be a whole lot of them. I think if they want to go merch, it's going to be. Yeah, yeah. It's been great.

They made a dancing group, right? They did, yeah, yeah. Okay, cool. Like those pot plants used to be. That's right, yeah. With the flowers. Also, Karen Gillan's on the team. They made a dancing Groot, right? They did, yeah. Okay, cool. Like those pot plants used to be. That's right, yeah. With the flowers. Also, Karen Gillan's on the team. Yeah.

We knew that already. There's another female character. Yeah, it's Mantis. Oh, yeah. Who in the comics is green. Yes. But if you make her green, everyone's green. And the Hulk's green.

They're all going to meet up. And Dave Bautista's, what's his name? Bloody, what's his, that's the character's name. Drax the Dishonored. Drax. He's kind Bloody, what's his, that's the character's name. Drax the Destroyer. Drax. He's kind of greenish. Yeah. He's more kind of grey.

Yeah, he's bluey green. I definitely think they tweaked him. Yeah. From the comic book version because they're like, this is going to be confusing. A lot of green peeps. A lot of green peeps. Yeah. It looks very exciting though.

Slightly different Star Wars. Which reminds me, I've got to write another check to Green Peeps. It's my favourite charity. It's that type of year, is it? Mm-hmm. Great. Awesome. No, I'm looking forward Peeps. It's my favourite charity. It's that type of year, is it? Great. Awesome. No, I'm looking forward to it.

It's filming at the moment. We might get some stuff at Comic-Con next week, which is very exciting for you. Yeah. You're excited, aren't you? Don't tell me what I'm excited about. You're excited. All right, I am.

Now, at the moment, Star Wars Celebration is still happening. There's some news that we might miss. So I've got it on the live stream at the moment. The Carrie Fisher panel. Oh, this is happening live. She's just come out. Yeah, yeah. We might get some Weekly might miss so i've got it on the live stream at the moment that the carrie fisher panel oh this is happening live yeah yeah so i might get some weekly planet exclusives i doubt it no obviously not because they're they're also star wars podcasts recording right now live streaming they're live streaming from that live stream that's exactly right so we've got no exclusives but that's it and also this will go for about an hour so i don't know if we'll get any new news but you you never know. Maybe she'll say something like spoil something,

which we will get to. Oh, boy. So we thought we'll do Ghostbusters first. Okay. And then we'll get into some, the big Star Wars announcements, Mason. Yeah. Ghostbusters.

It's finally here. Yeah. And we can finally talk about it and then finally not talk about it anymore. So let's talk numbers mason okay it's made 46 about it's going to make about 46 million for the u.s opening that's pretty good right it's okay okay uh it won't hit number one because i think uh the one where the pets are it's toy story yeah that's made like a hundred and billion dollars crazy yeah it's doing really

well so that will probably be number one again but But it's putting out other stuff, right? It's putting out central intelligence. It'll be second. It'll be second. But the thing is, the problem with this is it's not opening. It's got women in it. That's the problem. That's the massive problem, obviously. That's the biggest problem.

But it's not opening in China because China chose not to because it has supernatural elements. That's right. They refuse the right of a lot to – they invoke that law whenever they kind of don't want to put out a thing. So that would, that's a massive dent. Like if you don't get China, you ain't got nothing, Mason. That's true.

You've got a middling box office. Could they have carefully edited around the ghosts in the movie Ghostbusters? It's just about plucky young women getting ahead in the world of science. Building nuclear reactors. Bloody metropolitan train network. Building nuclear reactors. Bloody Metropolitan Train Network. That's right. So it cost $144 million to make. Probably that again on marketing.

So it will break even and then some, but not by, I'd imagine so many more of them wanted it to do a lot better. So Mason, what did you think the story was? Oh, no. it to do a lot better so mason what did you think the story was oh no you know as on my way during today i'm like he's gonna ask me what the story is i always do and i'm gonna remember the name i'm gonna think of the names of the characters and i'm gonna know what they are and then it's this is gonna be a stormer of remembering what let's just call them the names of the actors yeah right fantastic okay so in movie, Kristen Wiig's character is a professor of particle physics.

Let's call her Wiggles. So Wiggles is hoping to get tenure at her university. Yeah. But then it turns out that a book she wrote with her childhood best friend many, many years ago has resurfaced on the internet and Amazon. Yes. And the book is about sort of the science behind the paranormal. Yes.

And so it makes her look like a real idiot. And so she goes to find her childhood best friend, played by Melissa McCarthy. That's right. To confront her and try to get rid of this so she can let it- She can get her tenure. Yeah, she can let it go. She can get her tenure. Yeah, she can get her tenure. She can trick Charles Dance. Exactly.

Oh, Charles Dance is in this. I thought he'd be in it more. Yeah. Anyway, sorry, go on. For a named man like Charles Dance, he probably had Game of Thrones stuff to do. Spoiler alert, he's not in Game of Thrones anymore. No, I mean, but I mean just like, you know, fan conventions. Sure, yeah.

You know what I mean? He probably had the Golden Child conventions to visit. Exactly, yeah. Dracula Untold Conventions. It's got to do... Anyway, so she goes to confront Melissa McCarthy. Turns out Melissa McCarthy's hanging out with her new best friend, Kate McKinnon, and they have been working on, like, equipment to detect and tackle ghosts and the paranormal.

Ghosts and ghouls. Yeah. Just ghosts, really. Meanwhile, over at the bloody MTA. The other side of town. The bloody train station, Leslie Jones encounters a real weird dude who starts talking about the apocalypse and the end of the world. She follows him only to discover that he is bloody...

She's led to a ghost. She's led to a ghost, basically, yeah. Anyway, they all team up. And then they ghostbusters, don't they? Then they ghostbusters. What did you think of this movie in general? I had a really good time with this movie. Really?

Yeah. I would have thought you would have been like... Again, as someone who's seen the original, I say like 100 times. It's probably not 100 times. I've probably seen it fifty times I'm a big fan of the original I had a really good time with this movie

look the thing about this movie is all the main characters I think do a really good job I think the third act is kind of weak which we'll get into there's some CGI messes that should have been cleaned up I don't think all the jokes land

no but I think of the ones that do I enjoyed a lot yep and I had a good time and I liked how all the characters interact together

and I'd like to see another movie just to see them hang out basically that actually is what I enjoyed I think it was smart to get I think it was smart to get some of the best

kind of comedic actors of today the same way they did for the first Ghostbusters instead of being like let's just get Jonah Hill and Ben Stiller and Chris Rock I think it was smart to get some of the best kind of comedic actors of today the same way they did for the first Ghostbusters. Instead of being like, let's just get Jonah Hill and Ben Stiller and Chris Rock and just mash them together. They went, who works well together? Kind of, who's hot and now?

So I think that was, it was good in that respect. That being said, they never, to me, felt like real characters in the way that the originals did. Yeah, look, I think what is interesting about this world i think is that it's not the real world no the first one is kind of and i don't know if it's an i don't know if it's a function of the like the the people that created the original movie right or if it was just how all movies were back then but the first movie is much more grounded and it just feels like a whole bunch of people.

Yep. Just real people. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. And this one is Hollywood's interpretation of... Hollywood's interpretation? They're both Hollywood movies. But this is Paul Feig's world. Yeah.

And none of his movies, like, the characters feel like... No, it's like Spy or... Yeah, they're heightened characters. Like, this is a heightened very early on in this movie you get but a few jokes are delivered a few lines are delivered yeah make it very clear this is not the real world yeah this is hollywood's new york right right and kind of at that point like five minutes in you're either on board or you're not spoiler alert not really but right at the start there's a there start, there's a tour guide giving a tour

of a haunted mansion in New York. Yes. And he basically says, when this mansion was built, it has all the modern conveniences of the time, a face bidet and like an anti-Irish alarm system, defense system or something like that. Obviously not real. Yeah.

So that's the point. Like two minutes in the movie not real yeah so that this is that's the point like two minutes in the movie you're like this is going to be kind of silly yeah it's not it's not the real i mean we all hate the irish but yeah exactly yeah yeah okay fair enough yeah see i felt that like as much as i enjoyed late um kate mckinnon yes i thought she had some of the funniest moments uh-huh she never feels like a real person Oh, okay Because she's just kind of like a cartoon version of a human being Like for the entire thing Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed that

But there was no point Like I found, I thought Wiggles and McCarthy kind of made There was more of an effort there to make them kind of Realistic, grounded kind of people Yeah, okay, yeah But no, I think you're probably right Like a lot of the characters there's a more cartoony feel to it yeah and i think that is especially because they have

to live in this world that isn't a hundred percent it's not a real world yeah i think especially again towards the end of the third act reality sort of takes a back seat well every time somebody takes a tumble and lands on the proton on the I'm like, oh, that would, you'd be out. That happens like three or four times, yeah. Yeah, absolutely. So you said it was funny. You said good jokes from had. Yes.

I thought, or some, I thought it got less funny as it went along. Yes, it did. It started out strong. Yeah. And I think maybe that was a function. I feel that you could definitely tell the written jokes from the improv jokes right right i don't think my striker would be 100 but i think i could go back and go written joke improv joke improv joke written joke sure and i think the written jokes were all quite strong yeah and i

think a lot of the maybe the improv stuff they could have done in a couple more takes absolutely like i think that may and again i haven't seen that script but they filmed like three this was like three and a half hours, the first cut. Wow. And it does kind of feel the way it's chopped together. I don't think it entirely flows. Okay. Anyway, sorry, keep going.

I think like, wait, I've lost my train of thought. You're bloody, you ruined everything. That's what it's like when you jump in, Mason. You've got to get your thoughts together. I don't like being hit with my own medicine. You said improv jokes. My own delicious medicine. Do another together. Oh, I don't like being hit with my own medicine. You said improv jokes. My own delicious medicine. Do another take? Yeah, do another.

Like, I don't know what the script looks like, but maybe it's kind of like Melissa McCarthy slapped in the face and then she says something funny. Right, right. And then, you know, maybe write a joke in there instead. I don't know. Because, like, we get, oh, that's going to leave a mark, which I feel she's even said in there instead. I don't know. Because we get, oh, that's going to leave a mark,

which I feel she's even said in another movie. I'm sure she's said it in another movie or in Mike and Molly. Yeah. You ever seen that show? No. Me neither. I have seen Gilmore Girls, though. She's in that.

She's good in that. I've seen bits of it. That's coming back, actually. We should do an episode on it. Yes, please. We're just going to shotgun ten seasons of Gilmore Girls but again I think yeah I think you're right that

it is much more joke-heavy at the start and that I guess is the the difference between this and the previous one yeah is that

in the original Ghostbusters the movie there's a lot of jokes and then by the third act right you're really invested in it and it's still it's just there's're really invested in it and it's still... There's still some solid jokes.

Yeah, and it's more like it's just them having a series of conversations while the world is falling to pieces. Absolutely, yeah. And it's just more... Even though there's, you know, Goza the Destroyer is there and the State Buff Marshmallow Man is there and everything's exploding and there's a gate opening up or whatever. They're still just having funny conversations between each other.

And it's just the action is kind of a side part to it. In this movie, when the third act kicks off. It's all action all the time. It's all action and it's pretty good given that it is mostly CG. Yeah. But yeah, it's like, okay, well well the narrative is kicking off here right like the the third act uh final battle is happening and in the first one it doesn't really matter but in this one it kind of does and again it's pretty it's good solid action but yeah it's not

as funny no it's definitely not as funny my actual favorite joke in this comes very early on where they go to the haunted house this is sort of a spoiler not really and she's like I spoke to the guy who runs this house yeah that being said just before I'm going

to bloody cut you off mate is that I feel we can spoil some of these jokes because there's more in there yeah like my fear going into this movie

was that all the jokes were going to be in the trailer no this is better than the trailers yeah significantly yeah but there's plenty more so you know and again not all of them land but go ahead was that all the jokes were going to be in the trailer. No, this is better than the trailers made it out to be. Significantly, yeah.

But there's plenty more. Yeah, that's right. Not all of them land, but go ahead. I enjoyed this joke as well. She goes to the house and she meets the caretaker, and she's like, oh, Mr. Whatever sent me here. And he's like, he's been dead for 15 years. And they're like, oh my God, he's dead.

This is perfect. This is a perfect haunted house situation. And then the guy who visited her initially with the book shows up again and he's like, oh, this is this guy, Junior. Yeah. And she's like, obviously I meant that guy. That's a great joke. I think so too.

Yeah. And again, that's a written joke. Yeah, that's right. You would assume. Yeah. Unless they did it on the day. I don't know. Maybe.

I don't know. I don't know. Write us in, Paul Feig, if you're not being inundated with lovely letters from Ghostbusters fans. If you're not busy, you're entering all that fan mail. So you mentioned special effects as well. Yeah. All the proton stuff looks good. Yes, it does.

The laser-y thing looks as good as ever or whatever. Yep. But the ghosts, when there's kind of one, it looks okay. Yep. When there's a lot and they're in Times Square and there's a mist and they're kind of flying in and out. Yep. That's to me, that to me, I was like, oh, this is, this is not great.

Okay, yeah. It's a bit too much. And they all kind of have the same basic structure. They're all kind of vague and blue and floaty. Yep, yep. And maybe that's part and floaty yeah yeah and maybe that's part of the production design like maybe that's a deliberate like we want to we want to streamline this a little bit yeah but yeah you're right they are kind of and that's something the other one the i found the creature design on the first one or first two even uh-huh was a lot kind of scarier

and a lot more interesting yep when this was though i didn't mind like the what was, though I didn't mind like the subway one I thought was quite interesting. The woman at the start was quite interesting. But then when, like Slimer's obviously interesting because he's Slimer. Like we've seen that. You know what I mean? What about nods to the original? As in terms of cameos?

Yeah, all of it. Cameos, little lines here and there. I didn't think they, I mostly didn't think they bogged anything down i think it it as it goes on it by the way non-spoilers here and then spoilers later yeah it's how we do it yeah i think it kind of gets heavier as it goes yeah i but here's the thing though i think especially in terms of cameos i think if you had never seen a ghostbusters before yeah i think all the ones that exist while the plot is happening yeah don't weigh it down yeah like they they exist to serve as a plot point or they're just there for a moment right there are a couple basically at the end

that a bit clunky yeah but the plot is all but finished at that point so it doesn't really matter okay they're for the fans but and again, I'm sure people leaving the cinema who've never seen Ghost Us might be like, who are those people? What was that about? But again, the plot ticks along while the action is happening, and I don't think they bog it down.

No. Let's go spoilers. Okay, let's do it. Oh, but by the way, I feel best movie ever. I enjoyed it, but I would say this is one of those things where if it's on TV or you can rent it for whatever, for three bucks, and if you want to see it, that's how I would do it.

Okay. Look, I think, again, there are good points and bad points, but that's a movie. That's a movie. That's a movie. Look, I wish it was better or I wish it was worse. Okay, sure. So I could kind of go either way, but I'm just kind of like, yeah.

Yeah, look, I paid to see this movie. I can send people, just so people don't think we're being paid off by Sony to say this movie is okay. Yeah. I can take a photo of the ticket stub. But look, I didn't feel my time was wasted I think there were some really solid jokes which we'll get to in spoilers

we'll just bloody say how about this joke how about this joke how good were they yeah I didn't feel my time was wasted and I would really like to see a sequel which we may never get just to have all the characters hang out or even just a movie that they're all in again

you know what I would like to see them just in very large quotation marks, ruin more franchises. Just get those four, put them in another male-dominated franchise and have people get really angry at it. Just keep doing it. I would watch every single one of those. I would bloody love it.

Put them in, do a new Blues Brothers. Make them all the four new blues brothers have you seen blues brothers 2000 no it's pretty well i've only seen bits of it but it's it's rough i actually saw this because i the earliest session i could get to this was they were doing a ladies night yeah girls so i turned up yeah and it's just all women and like me i'm by myself and i turn up and there's a bag there's like a cleo bag they're like here you go yeah i'm like no no thank you but i appreciate it and then i'm like can i can i be here yeah and they're like yeah it's fine but there must have been like what a weird creep yeah absolutely hanging out or whatever that being said everyone seemed to enjoy the theater i was in

but yeah so anyway yeah good performances chrisemsworth, they didn't mention him. But he did well. He was fine. He's just on the cusp. That character is just on the cusp of being too dumb to be alive. Right, yeah. But I know some people who are pretty dumb, so. This guy.

Yeah. That dog. Yeah. How dare you? No, no, dumb dog. All right, spoilers. I thought of the original Ghostbusters, of the people in it, the ones that I thought worked, I thought Bill Murray worked.

Yep. I thought that was because they brought him in as like a real character and he, you know, he was a, he was a skeptic. He's got a dumb hat or whatever. Uh-huh. Yeah. And, and the suit. Have you noticed that all the male characters in Paul Feig movies dress like Paul Feig? Oh, right.

Yeah. Exactly. Andy Garcia is the mayor. Yeah. Yeah. They all dress exactly like him. I liked Andy. He was good actually.

Yeah. Andy Garcia was good. I didn't think the Dan Aykroyd one worked at all. Okay. That was real weird. Okay, yeah, but at the same time, I don't think it ruined the flow necessarily. No. I think maybe that that plot arc of Kristen, we get separated from the rest of the ghost

buses and so she has to show up later and save them all. Yeah. Was probably unnecessary, but I didn't think that her attempting to get a cab and it's Dan Aykroy unnecessary but I didn't think that her attempting to get a cab and it's Dan Aykroyd I didn't think that was I think it went for

a little bit too long okay well and he was like I ain't afraid of no ghost because that was the tagline of the original movie if you remember correctly I recall

I thought the Ernie Hudson one worked as soon as she's like my uncle gave us gave us this van or car or whatever I'm like that'll be Ernie Hudson

wow because there are only two black people in New York exactly wow that's the only two i saw wow wow and i thought the sigourney weaver one was real weird it was real weird yeah yeah i feel that the the ernie hudson one was kind of shoehorned in i know i wanted to see him in it yeah but that like that was a solid minute of like was that long, was it? It felt like a minute. I was too busy clapping. That's my problem. That's actually a good point, too, yeah.

But the Sigourney Weaver one, it wasn't particularly funny. What was that? No, right? It was just her mentor. Yeah. And they had the same hair. Yeah. Okay.

They were building the containment unit. Right, right. Yeah. Pretty good, I guess. No, it wasn't. I disagree. Oh, here's the thing. If we're talking about the reality of this universe and how it's kind of heightened some of it works and

some of it doesn't something that just threw me out of the movie completely was when they go to the metal gig oh yeah the the metal band were they real bad no they weren't that's the thing like they were so just get a handsome just get a generic handsome guy and give him black eye makeup and some stubble and like a leather vest. And then they're guys in a band. I thought we were going to get Ozzy Osbourne because it was an Ozzy Osbourne concert. I thought, see, but that's the thing. I'm like, these guys are so clean cut.

Yeah. Because even like you see the- They're Linkin Park. Yeah, what kind of metal band? No, not even. Like a Christian metal. Okay. But like when you see like the crowd who's going into this metal gig,

they would storm the stage and kill those people. If you brought out this metal band in quotes and you're like, how about these clean-cut metal dudes with their audible vocals and their nice little guitar riffs? They'd be killed. Yeah, fair enough. At least get, even get Fall Out Boy. Sure, yeah.

I mean, they're not a metal band, but at least they look like a band. Yeah, that's right. Because they're a band together. They are a band. Like, they would look like, as opposed to, like, five people just standing in different points of a stage. Yeah, yeah, good point. Yeah.

Almost certainly. Oh, we didn't mention this pre-spoilers, but what did you think of the bad guy? Yeah. Yeah, exactly. See? I thought there was going to be another guy. Me too. Like Charles Dance or something.

Because there's an action figure. Right. It's like a winged demonic thing. I guess that's the thing from the concert. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah. But yeah, he was just kind of a generic guy. And then again, you know this isn't kind of the real world

because he turns into a cartoon. That's true, he does, yeah. And then he turns... I was like, that was a weird choice, wasn't it? Yeah, uh-huh. And then he turns into just a big stompy, stompy guy. People are saying this film is sexist against men because they shoot the ghost in the balls.

Uh-huh, correct. There's, how many movies do you think feature somebody being shot or hit in the balls? A lot of movies. It is a classic. 21 Jump Street, the guy gets his dick shot. He does get shot, exactly, he or hit in the balls uh a lot of movies it is a classic 21 jump street guy gets his dick shot he does get shot exactly he gets shot in the balls there's a people of there's a uh like a collective i can't remember what they're called but there there's there was a somebody i've lost my train of thought completely there's a there's a robo there's a clip

from like a robocop i love that i've shown it I've shown it. I can't remember who made it. I showed you. Did you? Yeah. Oh, okay. But it's like, somebody's remade the scene in Robocop where there's like a rapist and Robocop shoots him in the dick. Yeah. And it's just this pixel perfect, like reworking. It looks real.

It looks like it's from, like if somebody showed it to you, I can't remember, somebody will know. I'll tweet it. Yeah. Great. And it's just him just shooting dicks.

It's just like five minutes of him shooting dicks, just reimagining this scene. Anyway, the point is everybody knows that being hit in the dick is hilarious if it's not you. Yeah, that's true. And there's probably hundreds of movies where people are being hit in the balls and it's funny. It just happens.

It's not always funny. Yeah, you're right. It wasn't particularly funny in this yeah but i mean just it just happens that it's women shooting him in the dick in this sure not everything's sexist the fact that he is the you know they're like every every man in this movie is an idiot or he's a bloody a creeper or whatever is that what they're saying yeah but every? Yeah. But every second action movie has a bad guy who's a creep and a sidekick who's an idiot. It just happens in this, the main characters are women. Right, right.

It's exactly the same. I didn't even notice Mason because I don't notice gender or color or any of that. Yeah. Or even smells. Makes dating weird for you. Taste.

Yeah. I don't know. Can't go to a restaurant. A head injury maybe. I don't know. You're like, they keep serving us sand at this restaurant. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. Can't go to a restaurant. A head injury, maybe? I don't know. You're like, they keep serving us sand at this restaurant. I don't understand.

Okay, do you want to talk about the ending? Yes. Which is they close the portal. I wanted to see more things in the weird ghost dimension. Right, yeah. I thought we'd go in there and I thought we were going to, oh, it was like, oh, we're going to get this. I thought there'd be floating clocks going, cuckoo, cuckoo. What did I think we were gonna oh it was like oh we're gonna get this there'll be floating clocks going what did i think we were gonna get i thought we're gonna get like like an evil kind of new york

or something oh that'd be good great but instead we just got a weird swirling fit fire tunnel yeah yeah yeah we didn't get didn't get much in there did we no and okay i didn't stay for the the after credits but did you say it yes So it's Zool on the radio. Yeah, basically you've got Leslie Jones. She's tuning in on a little, little, that, remember that thing that's got the farts coming out of it? It's got the farts. Right, yeah.

She's tuning in on that and she's listening in and she's like, hey guys, what's Zool? And everybody goes, I don't know. So, you know. Do you think that joke works if you don't, well, obviously it doesn't work if you don't know the answer. Correct, yeah.

So that's just kind of a thing for people who love Ghostbusters. Little tip of the hat. Little tip of the hat. That's right. What else happened in this movie? Oh, my favorite joke potentially in this movie. And again, some of the Chris Hemsworth jokes worked. Some didn't.

Yeah, sure. Like some where he's like, I don't understand what words mean or whatever. Right. Some of them are pretty good. A lot of people didn't like the dog-cat joke. I know some people were faring against that. I really liked that joke. Me too.

But also, my favorite joke was the one where he's like, guys, I'm going in for the role of a doctor. Which headshot works better? And they're both him shirtless, and he's like, me playing the saxophone or me listening to the saxophone. I'm like, that's a great joke. Regardless of how the rest of the movie went, worth the price of admission, I feel, for that joke.

For that joke. Okay, fair enough. All right, should we wrap it up? Yeah, let's wrap it up. Even after some discussion, I'm still saying best movie ever. I enjoyed my time at this movie. Well, Mason, I gave it. It's nice to see the ladies be in front in a bloody movie.

And if you don't like it, watch the 10,000 million other movies where men are leading the movie. It's fine. I refuse to do any of those things. Okay, good. Mason, I gave it a best movie ever after saying this is middling. It was just an average movie. And I thought I'd get like a barrage of like hate mail and whatever.

And I didn't. I was hoping to do hate mail... Because our listeners are not idiots. I was hoping to do hate mail. Because our listeners are not idiots. I was hoping to do hate mail with the hate's got an eight in it. Yeah. Surprise Mason, I got a lot of hate mail. Oh, good. Get ready, Mason.

Here we go. The return of my favorite segment, a lot of listeners' favorite segment, hate mail but the hate has an eight in it, where I read eight bits of hate mail directed squarely at myself. Are there eight this time? No, there never is hate mail directed squarely at myself are there right this time no there never is there's never eight why would there be this time okay here we go so this is just uh this is this is what i consider the cream of the crop but there is a lot more creme de la creme it's piling up so if you want to see some hate mail that's what you want to

you should have the star wars live stream coming up and the hate mail live stream coming up at the same time. Now, I put a whole lot of original Ghostbusters Easter eggs in my video. I don't know if you watched it. It'd be like, oh, this would be a fun little thing. And I put like, I put Harold Ramis's name on one of the name tags. Oh, that's what I forgot. That's his cameo in the movie. He's the gold bust, yeah.

And I put like the Ghostbusters 2 logo on the new Ecto-1. And a bunch of stuff, like a little Venkman action figure and stuff like that. Ghostbusters 2, yeah. And I put the Ghostbusters 2 logo on the new Ecto-1. On the side of the Ecto-1, yep. And a bunch of stuff, and a little Venkman action figure and stuff like that. And I got this one from The Ultimate Reductionist. Oh boy, that's a good start. Why is the Ghost in Ghostbusters logo holding two fingers to suggest this is Ghostbusters 2, when in fact it's Ghostbusters 3?

Question mark? And if they wish to ignore the previous two movies because this is a remake slash reboot, then why is it the Ghost holding up the one finger to indicate this is Ghostbusters 1? He should be holding up one finger to the audience, he asked me. This is from Rodimus Prime. That's great though also, because he assumed you didn't do that. Yes, that's right.

Your Photoshop was so good. Yeah, that's a credit to me at all, isn't it? Yeah, I think so, yeah. This is from Rodimus Prime. Why the fuck is the ghost doing number two with his fingers on the logo? That shit makes no sense. All caps. And then why in the fuck, all caps, is there Venkman, figure, all caps, on Thor's goddamn desk?

What? This is- Oh, I also, now that you mention it, I also screenshoted some stuff. Fantastic. This isn't technically hate mail, but this is from Joe Brzezanski. He's under your video here. It says, Paul Feig is an Illuminati rectum slave.

I don't know what that means, but it's great. Joe, it means something to somebody. This is from the Abra... The Brabon one. Okay, so I basically said this is a new continuity in the same way that Robocop...

I didn't say Robocop, I said Robot Cop. Great. The two Robocop films aren't in the same universe and the Dark Knight trilogy is a different universe than the Batman v Superman universe. And he said, you are aware that the Dark Knight trilogy wasn't the first time the Bat was put on screen and itself was a reboot.

And using the Bat from the Dark Knight Returns comic for Bat v Supes is just plain stupid. So I was not aware of that. Thank you. was a reboot and using the bat from the Dark Knight Returns comic for bat bee soups is just plain stupid so I was not aware of that thank you apparently there are more Batman movies

that I even knew about on this podcast where we talk almost exclusively about Batman movies we didn't know we don't know we don't know

because there's no he's not a crossover guy no because he doesn't listen to the show and watch your videos no maybe he's just stumbled on this video and he's like

this guy just the first time i've ever encountered this guy but let's call him a dickhead uh this is from mike ever we should go we should go back and forth hate males okay sure what do you got um maybe we shouldn't have uh how about i do one more you're looking for that one sorry oh here's one sorry mr sunday but i gotta give this a dislike bro i really wish it didn't have to come to this and me neither yeah me too right yeah now let's walk into the ocean uh mr sunday you sound like you didn't like the original so i guess you don't know what the fuck you're talking about i guess not i do like the original it's hard yeah and it's also hard to

also hard to review a movie if you've just watched a movie. It is hard, yeah. You need the context of literally everything that's ever come before that. There's no way to look at a movie and judge it on its own merits just by watching that movie. No, there certainly isn't. This is from Aztec. Oh, do you want to go? This one says,

I refuse to support a movie that was created at least partially as an insult to men. Good, good point. This is from Aztec Fighter 5. Fucking twat shit review. The movie was horrible. I get a lot of, there was a lot of like, I didn't see it,

but you're an idiot because you didn't hate it. Yeah. Yeah. Do you get a lot of, you never even saw this movie? I don't get that as much anymore. Yeah, that's a shame.

I wish I did because I enjoy those ones. They're good, aren't they? Then again, I don't read everything because I can't because there's too much. Yep. you know what the problem is i'm thinking of people are saying i should have implemented the it's just a movie rating system

because we talked about it yeah instead of best and worst we should have just a movie but if i put that in i thought about it then it's a real rating system that's true the point was listen to the review you're right if I say best movie ever, it doesn't mean that I thought it was fantastic. It means that I didn't hate it. Exactly. And it's the same way, like, because your old system was... Just call everything worst movie ever.

Everything worst movie ever, no matter what. And people... My favourite part of that was not that people went... Like, people got really mad at it, but they didn't get really mad in the sense of, like, you did this joke, you're doing the joke again. the sense of like you did this joke you're doing the joke again yeah we're sick of this joke stop doing the joke where you say it's the worst movie ever no matter what it's because people went how dare you call captain america 2 a bloody worst movie that's the best movie i did call it i remember yeah so i'm thinking of just scrapping the rating system completely just to be like just listen

listen to the to the words. Oh, you should do that. Yeah. Okay, so the next review, what you just say, get your yellow text ready and you should say, my final thought is... All the stuff I said prior to this.

Yeah, listen to the review. Oh, that'd be great. Just do it. Just do it for every single one now. My rating is listen to the review. I hate to see it go. I feel like we could still use it here. Yeah. Because the people that listen to this... They get it. They rating is listen to the review. I hate to see it go. I feel like we could still use it here because the people who listen to this

they seem to understand it. And they understand that if you say something's the best or the worst it's not literally unless it's the Roxanne Andreas

which is the worst movie ever made. I didn't hate it. No, it's not. You got one or because I got one here? Mr. Sunday is a bit of a SJW

social justice warrior. Not full blown it seems so there is hope. Once his balls drop a little bit more, but for now this review is half-cuckery. I don't really know what that means, but it's just a new term for saying, what a dickhead, he doesn't hate women. Yeah.

Look, you know what the problem is? I think with Sony and a lot of people associated with this film, they've come out and they've said, if you don't like this movie, you hate women. That's true. Which is a balls thing to say. You can't, like, a lot of people hate this movie on its own merit. Right.

But don't come out and say you don't like this because you hate women. Yeah. Like, then you get people going, fuck you. That's true. For calling me sexist. I think Paul Feig said something, but it wasn't, like, it was something about nerds, but it was but I think it was taken out of context. Right.

And he was like, okay, this very specific person is going to hate this movie and this movie isn't for you or what have you. And then all the headlines said, Paul Feig hates nerds and wants you all to die in a ditch. Like, it was so... Yeah, there's been some bad PR related to this movie. Yeah, well, it's Sony. And again, there are people who

who hate it because it's you know it's who people who refuse to see it because it's just a reboot and it's not an original idea and fine of course yeah but at the same time if you're gonna hate it before seeing it at least say i'll reserve you know what say i'll reserve my opinion until i get a chance to see it for free if i say it if i say it for free and then fine but don't be like i hate it and i've never seen it you don't know this is from kevin uh wheeler wheeler the movie is complete shit get behind whatever your opinion is and stick with it don't give an opinion based on your channel and views this review is lame af be who you are if you like something you say you fucking like it and enjoy it. This goes on a bit.

If you didn't like something, get balls and say it was trash. It's simple. Being indifferent is the worst. And Robot Cop WTF. It's Robot Cop dipshit. And if the cast likes working together, does that mean a movie or show will be good? Fuck no. I actually agree with that.

In the past, there have been great movies where some of the cast hated each other. I DK how you review this movie 2BH. You sound like you don't have a fucking clue at all. I've said that's actually me. I want to be clear. That's me commenting on. Yeah, people are really mad that I don't love or hate it

right like how and again you wish the way I feel man you wish it were better or worse you know what if I'd have come out and said this is terrible

and this is why and this this and this if I wanted to get a lot of views and likes or whatever that's what I would have done yeah right because to come out and go like like that's not fun

to do or to watch you know what I mean I don't want to do that I want to have a story or to watch. You know what I mean? I don't want to do that. I want to have a story for you. It's fun to destroy a thing. You know what? The other day I just,

I literally reminisced about that time we went and saw Entourage and it was so bad. It was great. Oh, what a great time we had about that movie that was so terrible. That had no redeeming features. We should probably do more of that

because I really enjoy that. But you know, the thing is as well, because I kind of give everything kind of a middling or a positive review because I don't see bad movies anymore. Right. Like if something's coming up, I'm like, that looks terrible. I'm just not going to see it. Yeah. I think that's the problem.

But I don't want to see bad movies. I want to see good movies or at least movies I don't hate. Maybe we can, we'll bloody talk about it. We'll bend the rules. Well, it's a comic book movie regardless. Like, if it's Fantastic Four or whatever. We have to. Yeah, that's great.

But I don't want to go see, like... I'm trying to think of an example of something that I... What's the one where Kit Harington fights the volcano? Oh, Kit Harington versus the volcano. Yeah, like, I haven't seen it. I don't want to see it, but... I have no idea what that is. I can't remember what it's called.

Anyway, I've got a few more. Oh, boy. It's from Master Blaster. Robot cop. Any credibility you could have had. Poof. It says poof. Gone in a flash.

And this is him again, a different comment. Wow, one of the worst reviews I've ever seen. Even worse than all those angry blah, blah, blah reviewers. Even worse than that, Mason. Yeah, but at the same time, don't fake being angry if you're not angry. Yeah, it's hard as well. It's hard to fake being angry if you're not angry yeah it's hard as well it's hard to fake i couldn't maintain it yeah this is from uh mario but at the it's an o and a z so mario's have you been contacted by the illuminati oh the illuminati rectum slaves maybe you are one to not totally rip this movie apart part of the communist slash illuminati takeover includes influencing art and critics and getting them to phrase bad things to influence public

opinion. Is that true? Maybe. Seems true. Yeah. Got any more? Nah, that'll do it. I got two more.

Oh boy. Paul White, 99.9% Mr. Sunday Movies was paid by Sony to give this review. Okay, first of all, I got one. No, I don't. No, not first of all. Why would Sony pay me to write a middling review for a film? Right? I mean, I don't think anybody who didn't want to see this movie was turned around.

By your review, right? I don't think so. That'd be weird if they were. Maybe. Last one. Kenneth Morland. Your jokes are more shitty than the ones in the movie. Just straight at me.

I appreciate that. That's fair. That's honesty. Some of the jokes in the movie are quite good. So, as we mentioned, they probably had a good time. That saxophone joke, it's great. It's a good joke. All right.

Well, that was hate mail, but the hate has an eight in it. Oh, and there's never eight. No. Yeah, great. Hopefully it will return soon, Mason. I hope so too. I'm still stockpiling it. Don't worry.

Great. On more Ghostbusters ones? Nah. Oh, maybe. If I see something pretty standout. But it's mostly just that. Yeah. You get the general idea.

But man, I wish Sony would pay me to write middling reviews. I'd write so many middling reviews. Who was it that just did that? Was it revealed that a whole bunch of YouTube people were being paid? Yeah, Warner Brothers paid them. To write Middle League reviews. I've read so many Middle League reviews. Who was it that just did that? Was it revealed that a whole bunch of YouTube people were being paid? Yeah, Warner Brothers paid them. Oh, Shadow of Mordor. Yeah. There we go.

Yeah, one Lord. Was it that? Was it Lord of the Rings game? It was, yeah. That's the thing. If you get paid, you legally have to disclose. Yeah. Like, obviously, we did Loot Crate.

We did Stranger Things. And I did Star Wars Tops on a video. And I got another one coming up, I think, today or tomorrow. You have to say it. Yeah. You legally have to. So if I got paid to give a positive review, I would be, and I didn't say it, I'd be in some serious shit.

But I think people mean, like, paid in swag. I don't have no swag. I wish I had some. What do I want with swag? Ghostbusters swag. Exactly, I don't know. I don't know. Unless it's in a sweet Loot Crate, of course.

Exactly. But they don't pay us, Mason. Let me just, we do them all out of the goodness of our heart. That's right. Yeah. Yeah.

Have been pretty good Like Anthony Daniels Had a really good panel Mark Hamill had a good panel Carrie Fisher's Never not entertaining That's true actually So I think Yeah apparently it's been really good okay let's go to the biggest news mason starting with the biggest news okay what is it star wars battlefront as reduce uh introducing some death

star death star dlc where you fly into the death star and you do the death star thing from the movie well i would enjoy that if you have to start out like because in in the in the other versions like the original version of battlefront you're just a regular guy yeah and then you collect enough like points and then you suddenly you're darth vader i would hope that in this you're just a guy floating through space and if you're fighting people you're fighting other people and then eventually you collect enough points and then you're in the x-wing that's before that you're just floating about it would have been good if they could because that was one of the one things that one of the things that was missing people said was missing from the original well

this is still the original because the game continues to give mediocre gifts yeah it does as it goes dlc yeah but so if you've got the season pass I guess you get this for free but it's also like get another get a season pass get this no you release a full game and then I'll buy it for 40 bucks give me the game of the year edition yeah exactly I'm gonna wait yeah or until part two when they put in a single player campaign that being said I would love to play the Death Star Trench Run yeah that would be great yeah mean, we've seen variations of it in various games over the years. Yeah, but I want to see like a newer version of it. The one that looks like the movie would be great.

Yeah. But, you know. Yeah. I ain't paying for no season pass. No, no way, man. We're against that. Arkham Knight, still waiting for the Game of the Year edition. Right, right.

Not happening. Yeah. Yeah, when's that happening? Who knows? Yeah, because they're releasing the other ones. They're remastering them, but I think it just got delayed like a really long time. But not all of them, just the Rocksteady ones.

Just the two good ones. Three. Oh, no, maybe just the two. Yeah, because they wouldn't release the new one with that, would they? Or maybe they would, Mason. Man, isn't life funny? The other thing was Rebels Season 3 had a trailer. I like Rebels.

I'm well into it. Yeah. If I had to give it one critique, it would be that there's too much, they're in a hangar and then the stormtroopers run in and then they have a shootout and they fly off. Who is it? Because I've literally never seen it. Is it aimed at kids or is it aimed at...

It's a bit of a mix. Okay. Or is it like The Simpsons where there's some stuff for adults and some stuff for kids? Not like that, no. Okay, right. I would say adults can definitely enjoy it because I enjoy it, but there's a lot of kids kind of stuff in it as well.

It's the way Star Wars is, probably more so kids, but it's the way Star Wars is in general where you can kind of enjoy it kind of on any level. But you get some Lando popping up. Okay. You get some Princess Leia. You get Darth Maul. You get bloody Vader.

How are these voice actors for, say, Princess Leia? Oh, they didn't get Carrie Fisher back. They're pretty good. They got Billy Dee Williams to come back. They got James Earl Jones to come back. They're pretty good. They got Billy Dee Williams to come back. They got James Earl Jones to come back. That was pretty good. But the big reveal from the Rogue, not Rogue, from the Rebels panel was they're introducing Thrawn next season.

That's right. Canonizing Thrawn. Wow. Thrawn. Thrawn. Thrawn. That's right. There you go.

What do you think of that? Does that mean he's going to make an appearance in the movies? Probably not. Oh. Generally. Generally. They don't cross over. I they don't cross over i would like to see i would like to see him but i wouldn't say you know what not anytime soon but never say never mason i never will how dare you even suggest that you would to me in a text last week yeah it didn't happen full of lies what do you think of that that's's pretty great. Well, the better reveal for me was about Thrawn.

They're doing Timothy Zahn, who wrote the Thrawn trilogy. That's right. He's writing a new Thrawn book. That is now in canon. Yes. That to me is more exciting, that they're getting the original author to do that. Mads Mikkelsen's brother's also doing the voice.

Sads Mikkelsen. Sads Mikkelsen, yeah. And you see he's looking at some art, because one of Thrawn's famous kind of, it's hard not to say Thor, because we say Thor so much, is that he studies the art of a culture. He thinks if you understand the art,

then you know how to beat them. So it's not just about understanding tactics, it's about understanding a race, and how to be racist, which is what we're about, aren't we? Great stuff. Yeah. That's all exciting, isn't it?

Yeah. Nothing else to add? You don't have to force anything. No, it's okay. Yeah, he's good. And he's blue. That's fun. Yeah, he is blue and good.

Yeah. So I think every season they kind of introduce some characters that kind of blow minds. Like last season they had Darth Maul and Vader. This season coming up they got Thrawn. In what context did we get Darth Maul? Has he got his metal legs? Yes, he shows up towards the end.

That's in canon now? Yes. Okay. Clone Wars was canon and he's in that as well. Right, okay. How did he survive being cut in half? Don't know. He probably landed on some kind of hot plate to seal him shut.

Oh, seal him up. Yeah, okay. That's true it up. I don't know. The Force, man. It's probably the Force. Yeah, yeah. Has he still got the double lightsaber or has he switched? I don't think

he has it anymore. He had a darksaber at one point which is like this black blade that can fight a lightsaber. Huh.

I can't remember in the new one. Oh, is it not a lightsaber? It's like a solid. He lost that and that's actually showing up next season yeah i know right this guy's no good but he has a lightsaber again in the newer season okay yeah and he pretends like he's an old man but he's not he's still quite spry so wait so what's a darksaber is it like a solid is it like an obsidian blade is it called yeah exactly okay it's called darksaber it might not be called that

but it might be you see sabine it's probably called a nighttime sword it's called Darksaber. It might not be called that, but it might be. You see Sabine. It's probably called the Nighttime Sword. It's called the Nighty Night Sword. Have a nap. The sword. And I guess the last big bit of news that we know of so far is that the Rogue One panel happened. Yes, it did. Now, there's a spoiler thing that we're going to say at some point.

I'll mark it clearly. Okay, cool. So when we get up to it, I'll put it in the timestamps. So go and check it out. But people thought we were going to get a trailer. I thought we were going to it i'll put it in the time stamps so go and check it out but people thought we're going to get a trailer i thought we're going to get a trailer we didn't we got like a celebration reel yep which is a lot of behind the scenes stuff and new footage initially i was disappointed because i went to bed and then got up for it but in high it's always disappointing when you go to bed and get up get up again worst sweet's the worst. Ugh. Sweet release of death has been denied me again.

Ugh. But I thought it was more appealing. Yes. In hindsight, because you actually get to know a lot more about the movie and the characters with a combination of new footage and trailers and trailer stuff or whatever. And sorry, and behind the scenes stuff, which is really cool. But of course, it doesn't have the kick of a new trailer, obviously. That's true, yeah. And I think they may have made a mistake in doing that. is really cool but of course it doesn't have the kick of a new trailer obviously yeah and i think

they may have made a mistake in doing that they did show a trailer but it was only the people who went there like steel saunders yes although he's doing daily podcasts for that so people want to check that out steel wars steel wars i'll link it below but if you want a man who's on the ground that's right boots on the ground that's where you want to boots on the tropical ground that's right oh new poster came out too yeah Yeah, the poster was great. So tropical. What do you think? It looks great.

People have complained that it couldn't possibly be what it would be in real life because the Death Star's too close. It's a metaphor. For what? Death Stars. Oh. Yeah, I guess. Can a thing being in a thing, which is the thing, be a metaphor for that thing?

Yes. Okay. But also, every Star Wars poster is a bloody, it's a chip, and then it's large heads of all the main characters. Are you saying that they're all the... They're all big heads flying through space? Yeah, no. That's what I'm saying. It's a metaphor.

Yeah. I know it's not really a metaphor. It's not a metaphor. Okay, good. It's a simile. It's still not a simile either. It's an approximation. It's an approximation. There we go. It's artistic license. Yeah, yeah. It's a simile. It's not a simile either. It's an approximation. It's an approximation.

There we go. It's artistic license. Yeah, yeah. I really like that poster. Me too. What about you? The Rogue One stuff stood out to you. Now, did we...

Mendo, I'm going to say. Mendo looks great. Mendo looks great. Now, did they say he's going to be a different kind of leader? Yes. Is that what they're saying? He's tactical. What does that imply? kind of leader. Yes. Is that what they're saying? He's tactical. What does that imply?

Just probably smarter. Yeah. Well, I mean, he's in the Imperial command structure and he's actually on the ground. Yes. Which is different. Yes. I think either they mean that's it,

like that's the point of difference as he goes down where all the other generals and admirals just stay up in the capital ship or whatever. What if he's like a cyborg okay yeah which part of him all of him just not the head just the brain is real okay oh really what do you know that's that's my that's my son that's that's my wild speculation we haven't seen any we'regs yet. We're bringing back, aren't they bringing back like replica droids? Like human replica droids? Not that I've heard. Okay.

Yeah. Well, now you're hearing it. Weekly Planet exclusive. They're bringing it back. Mendo's a droid. Mendo's a droid. That's right. Or a cyborg of some description.

I think he's a cyborg. I think he's a cyborg. I think he's, I don't actually think he's a cyborg. Why do you say that? I'm intrigued why you think that is. I don't know. I think you're wrong.

Yeah, I know. I'm almost certainly wrong. Yeah. No, I just, that's just my wild speculation. I'm saying that would be fun if it were the case. is. I don't know. I think you're wrong. Yeah, I know. I'm almost certainly wrong. Yeah. No, that's just my wild speculation. I'm saying that would be fun if it were the case. Yeah. I don't know. Because he's just striding into battle, fearless.

Yeah. Why is he doing that? Well, Vader does it. Yeah, I know, but he... Also, he's got a sidearm. No, but generally, they don't carry sidearms. Okay. Look at Tarkin.

What's he carrying? Nothing. Nothing. That's true. Just his dumb ego. Yeah. Didn't get off the Death Star. Personal's he carrying? Nothing. Nothing, that's true. Just his dumb ego. Yeah. Didn't get off the Death Star. Personal force field generator?

Yeah. Why is his uniform so pristine? Because he looks after himself, Mason. He's probably got a droid that looks after his clothes. All right. I want to know that droid story. If you say so. All right.

Did you see the new droid played by Alan Tudyk? I'm saying there's something weird about him. All right. Yes, I did. Yeah, let's see. He mentioned that the difference between this guy and the other Imperial officers is that he's Australian.

And I wasn't sure whether he's joking or not. Right. Because there are no Australians. Well, there's Australians in the Star Wars movies, especially two and three. There's a lot of like, hey, that's Nudge from Hey Dad or whatever. Yeah.

But there's no one with an Australian accent. That's the dad from Hey Dad. Oh. Oh. Yeah. He molested so many kids didn't he yeah I don't like that no uh but do you think he'd they there's any chance they'd give him an Australian accent yes really because it's close enough to British okay and all the imperial officers are British could you take that seriously where he's like let's bloody get up this beach, mate. I'm not that Australian. Less Australian.

Yeah. So more like a... Like a Rolf Harris. Like an Adelaide accent. Okay, sure. We say dance and prance. Dance and prance and castle. Precisely.

Yeah. Okay, good. Yeah. All right. I'd love to see an Australian in Star Wars. Me too. Maybe he's from planet australia i hope so or something darth vader was revealed in the trailer that i saw a very shaky

bootleg version of it and you just kind of how long is that bootleg like how long is that like a minute maybe do you think that person has been barred from all future star wars celebrations you could just record it on your phone and throw it on a random youtube channel that's true yeah i doubt it they'd never find out who it's from. Does he look like Darth Vader? You only see his reflection and his breathing. Okay. Yeah.

So, but yeah, presumably. I was excited to see Darth Vader. You see his breathing. Yes, you see it. Is he breathing on a mirror? He's breathing on a mirror, on the reflection. Darth Vader's alive, guys. He's breathing on the mirror.

I think I'm like excited to see Darth Vader and they should show him for marketing purposes. But when he shows up, we're all just going to be like, well, yeah, that's what he looks like. You cannot possibly tweak the design. You can't tweak it because they,

I would have, I'd like to see a tweak design, but they did the exact design from episode three. Yeah. I'd like to see him with like a different cloak or some different kind of bits and bobs on him. Like I would love that, but tropical uniform.

That's right. Tropical tropical camo just a different a little couple of little fans whizzing down on on his head so he's a bit cooler that would be cool yeah i mean it'd be cool when we see him but coconut bra i think people are more excited star wars fans they were more excited about rebels than they are Rogue One. I think the reaction to Rebels was much more positive than Rogue One, which was kind of like, yeah, it was cool. Also, why did you spoil that major thing that happened? Oh, should we talk about that?

Spoiler alert. I'll put the timestamp where to come back. But the actor Jiang Wen. Who's playing Baze. Yes, and I'm sorry because if I pronounce that wrong, which I certainly did. He's like, he was... Now what's Beys' character again? Guns. Explosive demolitions. He's got heaps of guns, that's right, yeah.

He reveals a couple... He's got a big backpack of guns. Yeah, and I think it might also be a flamethrower as well or something, I don't know. Yeah, yeah, okay, cool. But he mentions that, he's like, well, I can't say too much. He doesn't speak a lot of English. Well, that's his excuse. He did speak quite a bit of English, though. Did you actually see

this bit yes i did yeah he goes like i can't say too much that being said i kept on paraphrasing but i'm somebody who tricks these guys and then when he dies referring to donnie then i turn around and do a like a big thing and you can that that is i don right the version i saw it's like a two shot of him and donnie yen yeah and you can actually see the moment where donnie yen's heart stops it's just for a second clenches his fist yeah yeah like he just like because the the the other guy not donnie yen yeah uh jug when like these guys are both big stars from where they're from. Yeah, massive. But they've never been part of this worldwide cultural phenomenon. No, no. And, like, I don't want to generalise,

but oftentimes in, like, Hong Kong or Chinese cinema, oftentimes if it's a big martial arts epic or something like that, it's often a retelling of a classic. So you know where all the, like, if you know the story of these characters, you know that this guy's going to die and this's gonna live and whatever so spoiling it doesn't it's not a it's not a spoiler but in this this is a worldwide cultural phenomenon with new characters and he's just he's i think he's on autopilot from like absolutely he's just like yeah so when i die

this happens and this happens and then but thennie ends like, you can see him go, oh, that's not how they do this. Yeah, this is different. And this is a bubble of do not spoil. Yeah, that's right. Just you're in a room of people who do not want things spoiled. Yeah.

And you've just done that. That being said, I think it's really funny. Yeah, oh yeah. I'd be annoyed if this leaked and someone sent it to me directly but if one of the actors in it accidentally spills the beans

hey man, what are you doing? Also, two points. One that I've said before but I'm going to reiterate. All this happens a long time ago in a galaxy far far away so they're all dead anyway. Literally every character in all these movies is dead now. It happened in the 70s. Maybe Snoke. Snoke's probably still alive.

Sure. But also, this is a side, this is a side call. Right, right, yep. And there's only, and we don't see any of these characters in 4, 5 and 6. No. We don't see any of these characters. Except for Mon Mothma. Yeah, okay.

And we don't see any of these characters. Except for Darth Vader. Yeah, alright. We don't see any of these characters in 7. And maybe not in the other. So, there's only a couple of ways these characters. Except for Darth Vader. Yeah, all right. We don't see any of these characters in Seven, and maybe not in the other. So there's only a couple of ways these characters can go. Yes, that's right. A lot of them are going out.

They can either ride out into the sunset, or they can die. Yes. And it's 50-50 ultimately. Yeah, yeah. Unless Donnie Yen's character was going to make a return in Eight or Nine, he's gone anyway. We're never going to see this guy again.

I mean, we know for a fact that he's dead now. He's gone forever. Unless they do a side call to this movie set just before. Just chuck him in a back to tank. It's fine. That's right. That being said, maybe they'll change this now because they're still doing reshoots.

So maybe they'll kind of throw kind of a bit of a maybe maybe he'll die and then the lights will come on and it turns out they're just in the kobayashi maru simulation just to see what would happen and then they'll be like oh donnie n's character weren't you dead and they'll have a laugh and then at the end he dies again that's the fake out that was the star trek 2 fake that that was exactly that's what I was going to say yeah the other thing was Donnie Yen's end of spoilers so welcome back everybody if you skip that spoiler

Donnie Yen's character is force sensitive he's blind but he says he can fight with his heart which presumably I don't know

jumps out and it's like a little drone yeah that's right like a little flying droid. And I think that's interesting that this is a world where... Oh, I imagine... Okay, here we go.

Here's the Rogue One teaser. I'm ready. It's just like the Force Awakens teaser where there's like, it's the desert. Yes. And then you see BB-8 rolling along the ground real fast, except it's just a heart... Donnie Yen's heart bursts out. It just whizzes along the ground. So I think it's interesting where there are no Jedi being trained.

There's no new Jedi, but that doesn't stop the Force. If you've got it, you've got it. Yeah. You know what I mean? So you can't really stop that kind of going ahead. And so he's obviously able to hit people with sticks and stuff and do what he needs to do. Also, one of the planets has a Jedi pilgrimage every year.

Yeah, okay. I thought that was really interesting. So every year they kind of celebrate. So this must be a planet which is under some imperial occupation or none. Yeah, or it's just so far off the grid that nobody knows about. In the outer rim, Mason. It's the planet that Luke Skywalker is in. In?

On. On? Episode 7. Maybe it's that planet. I think it's that weird. It looks like that palm tree planet or whatever.. Maybe it's that planet. I think it's that weird... It looks like that palm tree planet or whatever. Oh, it's that planet. I think it's called Jedha or something like that.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's not to say that's not the same planet as... I'm saying it's not because you can only have one type of... Okay, right. What's the word? Topographicness. That's the word, isn't it? Yeah, topographicness.

Similes. And the other thing was Riz Ahmed's character, he said that he works for the Imperials. And he's the pilot, right? Yeah, but I'd imagine he's just kind of like... I said this in my video, I did a video on this, where in Clerks they mention that they'd have to get contractors to build the Death Star.

Right. They'd have to be people who work for the Empire but don't necessarily... You've got to feed your family. Exactly. Somebody had to make you're gonna feed you're gonna feed your family exactly somebody had to make the nazis uniforms and right clean their toilets you go boss you go boss exactly somebody had to make the system that the bloody you know organize the proper killing of the jews ibm ibm did it what yeah is that true that's true bill gates did Got to build some bloody death machines. Volkswagen. I know that there's a shrine in Berlin, Mason.

I don't know if you know this. I'm a man of the world. I've done a bit of travelling in my day, Mason. We've all left our home suburb. Fine. And there's a shrine there and it's got a Teflon coating on it so you can't spray paint it. You can just kind of wipe it off. But the company who made that Teflon coating also made the gas so you know that's yeah that's a bit on the nose well again

everybody everybody makes something you know what i mean you can't kind of avoid that yeah a lot of the nazis went back into politics straight after the war yeah i mean look everybody's made mistakes but in a way our our podcast has never contributed to genocide yet yet that we know about i know we can dream though but i think that's interesting though that it's not just good but in a way our podcast has never contributed to genocide. Yet. Yet. That we know about. We can dream though. But I think that's interesting though that it's not just good or bad. It's just some people have families. They've got to earn a crust.

What are you going to do? You'll haul some imperial stuff. Hence Solo was a drug smuggler. That's true. You know what I mean? So I think that's really interesting. And also was he... A pedophile, yes.

Yes, so good. But also he was in the Empire. He used yes. Yes, that's so good. But also, he was in the- He used to be. I don't know whether he was. Hence the jodhpurs. The jodhpurs, yeah. Yeah, in the boots.

He was. I don't know whether they're going to bring that back, but maybe they'll talk about it in the movie. Maybe he just steals them off the line. It seems like the kind of guy

that would. Yeah. Maybe he steals them from Greedo. There's a scene where Greedo's like, oh, finally, and enough money for these. My favourite jodhpurs. Favourite jodhpurs in these boots.

Now it's time to make an impact in the world. Give me your jodhpurs boots. Keep the vest, but I'm coming back for it. Yeah. Yeah, so all in all, all exciting. Just another brick in the wall.

It certainly is. I'm excited. Can't wait to see a trailer. Maybe we'll see it at Comic-Con. Maybe it'll happen tonight. Yeah, nah. What is happening tonight or in a few hours, they're doing the Future Filmmaker panel,

which they're not live streaming, where they're going to get the directors from the Han Solo movie. They're going to get the director of Episode 8. And there's rumours. Oh, yes. No, speculation that they're going to reveal the next spin-off movie. Oh. Which I would say, I don't know this for a fact,

but I would say it's an Obi-Wan movie. Because that's the movie that people want to see. That's the one you want to see. That's the one everybody wants to see. That's the one you want to see. Everybody. Tweet it, Mason, if you want to see it. Most people want to see the Han Solo movie.

No, they don't. Yeah, they do. No, they don't. Yeah, they do. No, they don't. I'm not saying I do. I'm with you. I prefer an Obi-Wan movie.

No, you're wrong. Listen, listen. Yeah. Listen. All right, okay. To be clear, the movie that I want is the Boba Fett slapstick comedy movie. Yes. But they'll never do that even though they should because it's an industry unto itself

and they should have a comedy in there. I don't disagree. People tweet, myself and Mason, at Wikipedia Brown, at Mr. Sunday Movies, would you rather see an Obi-Wan movie or a Han Solo movie? Because I want to see, Mason, what people think and show how show how wrong you are well i just want to see him prove me right is that it for all the star wars so i'm not saying look i'm what i'm saying is also our listeners the weekly way they're a special breed they're a delight they're all amazing right so if they if they all want obi-wan how about... How about this? How about this? I'm saying the bloody drooling masses,

they want a Han Solo movie. How about this then? Yes. People who tweet... Tell you what, our listeners, your weekly wackadoos, ask all your dumb mates.

That's what I was going to say. Ask your dumb mates. Ask the person in your family who doesn't give a shit about Star Wars and see what they say. And also, when you say Obi-Wan film, make sure you don't specify,

you specify that it's not like Alec Guinness, 80-year-old man, Obi-Wan film make sure you don't specify you specify that it's not like Alec Guinness 80 year old man Obi-Wan film like you specify the time period but if you'd like a third option say would you like to see a Weekend at Bernie style movie

with Alec Guinness as Obi-Wan please I'm sorry I got so heated Mason I wish I had that kind of passion for the Ghostbusters yeah what can you do it's still pretty good

I liked it I don't care alright is that the end of that segment I think so alright well let of passion for the Ghostbusters. Yeah, what can you do? It's still pretty good. I liked it. I don't care. All right. Is that the end of that segment? I think so. All right. Well, let's go to the next segment, Mason. Next segment.

And you know what that segment's called? Oh, what are we reading? What are we going to read? I'm doing the thing. We've done it. Yeah. Mason, you have read or seen or will read or see something, surely. I look, I have, I think I said this last week or a couple of weeks ago.

Yeah. I have five episodes of Preacher on my iPad ready to go and I haven't watched it yet. It's. Oh, what does that mean? I just, I kind of stopped watching it because I don't care. I was having a conversation with a dude on Twitter about it. He like what do you think and i'm like yeah and he's like yeah then do i need another what i'm reading what i'm gonna read nah oh jeez i can give you one while you think about it okay tell go ahead uh we talked about this last week yes we did a promotion for it

but stranger things is now out yes it is this is not This is not paid, by the way. No, this is a freebie. This is done. By the way, I emailed- Look, we've done our paid for this week. We talked about how much we loved Ghostbusters. So now we're not doing any more paid for advertising, all right? So basically, also, I don't think we'll get another Netflix deal at E-Type soon because the company we went through who contacted us, the three people that I've been liaisoning with have all left. They have, yeah. And I got somebody reading this week to be like, who are you?

What is this? Have we paid? What? What are you doing? So I'm like, here's all the links. Have they paid us? Not yet. That's a bit of a worry.

But no. So I don't think. Well, look, they can pay for us in delightful entertainment, Stranger Things on Netflix everybody who knows everybody who knows us there is gone basically

so that's that that being said I watched all 8 episodes it's really good well see that's the thing like I it came out

we promoted it on the Sunday and then it basically came out on the Monday and then I've since had I haven't had time to watch it but I've since had like half a dozen people I know go,

oh my God, you should watch this. Like they shotgun eight episodes and they're like, oh my God, you should watch this show called Stranger Things. And I'm like, yeah, actually I watched two episodes before it came out. And they're like, no, you didn't. And I'm like, no, no, you should, because I told you, you should listen to my podcast.

And they're like, we're not going to do that. Thanks, Dad. Yeah, thanks. It was my dad. It was my dad all along. But honestly, it kind of kind of okay towards the end i feel like it gets a little nostalgia heavy it's a little bit predator alien towards the end that being said that's still pretty good yeah i know exactly great characters i don't i that's not dragged out eight is perfect yeah not everything has to be 13 it's good exactly and all the

characters kind of have their own little thing and they all kind of bring something to the table like their kids are exploring and then the cops exploring and the teenagers are exploring and we're not in a right as like kind of they're all looking into things and then it all kind of comes to a head and they're like well i've got this bit of information well i've saw that seen this and they kind of piece it together so it's not just one person kind of doing all the legwork. And I'd still, even though we're not being paid or may not be paid at all, because everybody we know at that company is dead.

We're probably going to get sued for like stealing their intellectual property and watching it before it's released. But no, I'd still definitely recommend it. And also I got a lot of tweets saying that, oh, thank you for not lying because I like that show. See, that would have been awkward because if we said we're not going to say it's good unless it is good.

Yeah, that's right. It would be a shame if the critical consensus was that it was bad and then everybody's like, you're a bunch of lies. You're just doing it for the bottom dollar. You're sons of bitches. It was my concern that this would just fall off a cliff. Yeah, right. Like episode three, but it doesn't.

So I don't know whether they'll do another season tying into this they kind of left it open but I feel like this could be a like a Twilight Zone kind of thing where you make

the next series but it's a different yeah different era different characters whatever you could do a sequel to this but a lot of the

it's all revealed what's what and what's going on so is do you get that kind of level of that anticipation and excitement if you know what's happening right right right yeah you get that kind of level of that anticipation and excitement if you know what's happening?

Right, right, right. Yeah. You got anything else that you're reading? Look, I've cracked open Netflix just to see. Have you seen this? It's called Toast of London. It's got Matt Berry in it. Which one's Matt Berry again?

He's the second boss in the It crowd. Oh, he's great. I love him. It's from 2013. I'd never heard of this. Actually, I've seen a few episodes of that. Yeah, is it good? Yeah, he's like a

is he a writer or an actor or something he looks like an actor yeah he's pretty good also a lot a million people have recommended this to me it's called

it's a stand-up special by Ali Wong called Baby Cobra like a million people is that the one where she's pregnant yes it is every time I see that

I'm like nah everybody I know says you should watch it it's really good okay alright I watched the Jim Jefferies special actually

the other day how'd that go good yeah were you offended? No. Okay. I mean, there's nothing wrong with being...

People get offended, right? It's fine. But there's nothing wrong with being offended or taking... Everyone's so wrapped up in feelings, but also getting upset. I'm always wrapped up in feelings. Wrapped up in feelings and then getting upset that other people have feelings? Sure. It's like everybody feels a different thing and can be offended or not offended.

You can do whatever you want. That offends me. Everyone shut up. That offends me deeply. Yeah, fine. Good. And that's fine. You're okay.

You can be offended or be annoyed by someone being offended. It's all fine. We're all people. That being said, thank you for listening, everybody. Yeah, we love you. We love your attendance. Also, obviously- And your feedback.

Yeah. I feel like whenever I have a rant telling people to shut up, I'm sure people are thinking, but you do a podcast. That's true, with your opinions on it. But it's optional. And also, there's almost certainly somebody building a supercut of all your rants. Yeah, no doubt. And they're just splicing.

They're either making a big supercut or they're splicing it all together. So it's you getting really mad at cheese or something like that. I do hate cheese. Oh, what? I've helped whoever's doing that. Oh, that's very good. Okay, great. I can say cheese different ways of that as well.

Cheese. Can you say a variety of different cheeses? Gouda. Camembert. Camembert. Cheddar. Can you say coon? No, I cannot.

Okay, right. Because that can be... That can be constructed in different ways. We should point out that's an Australian brand of cheese. Yeah, we don't approve of it. No. It was created before we were born. That's right.

Yeah. I can't think of any more cheeses. I've said it now. Yeah, you have, haven't you? Yeah. Oh, boy. But yeah, like I said, this podcast is optional. You're free to leave at any point.

Correct. You're not Mason. You're locked into it, obviously. Yeah, because of the gypsy curse. All right. You know what's time for then? Is it time for a different segment? Yeah.

Oh. What do you think it is? Time for that segment that we all love that's loading. Wi-Fi is very slow. It's taking forever. What the hell, man? I don't know what to tell you. Yeah, I know, right?

Letters. The classic one was letters, oh letters. We love you. Some letters, they're only a day away. I know they're here right now. We're going to do letters. I tried to start an overhand clap. I saw that.

Then I realized it was just you and me. I was holding my phone. You were holding your phone. Yeah. Next time, put your phone in your mouth and we do the clap. And then we clap together. Okay, great. And everybody at home does it as well.

Oh, that's exciting. Okay. Got some letters here, Mason. Okay, great. And everybody at home does it as well. Oh, that's exciting. Okay. Got some letters here, Mason. I'm ready. This one is from Matt Pod. No, it says Matt Post says hi. He actually made a video that he posted to us on Twitter, hashtag weeklyplanetpod.

That's how you get to us, where he puts forth a theory. Now, often when I get sent a theory, it's like- I saw that and it looked intriguing, but it was also two minutes long and I'm like, oh, who's got time? It was interesting though. That's what I figured. Yeah, that's what I figured. He's good.

He's good at kind of making a snappy video. Yeah, good. I think he's got a Vine thing as well. That's why he's so good at it. He's one of those Vine stars. One of those blokes, mate. From MagCon. From MagCon 2016, Melbourne.

Basically, the theory goes that... Oh, by the way, please don't everybody send me your fan theories because I don't... I can't. There's too many. Now, is this fan theory... Is it a fun fan theory? It's a fun fan theory.

Or is it a fun fan theory that could also actually conceivably take place? Yes. Because I'm a big fan of fan theories. I personally love fan theories. Right. But I don't think any of them ever pan out. No. I don't think this one is true.

Okay. But I think it's interesting. Yep. Okay. So basically, he talks about the Rogue One reshoots that have been happening. Uh-huh. And he thinks part of that might be because Mark Bernard, who is on the Fat Man or Batman podcast, who's great.

He's a great bloke. I've never met him. Seems really cool. He put forth the idea that, you know how Jyn Erso is wearing that kind of, it looks like a TIE fighter-ish outfit. Okay, sure. And that she is the one, ends up going into the Death Star trench run. And if you see just before Vader's about to take out Luke, Han Solo shoots one of the

TIE fighters and the other one, without being shot, veers into Vader. Yeah, okay. And it explodes and Vader spins off course. Okay. So the theory is that she is that pilot and did that intentionally. Oh. Right.

So this is the end of her. Yes. Wow. Well, who knows if she will. Noble sacrifice. That's right. I think she will live in this one. I feel like she's going to make it through.

I might be wrong. I might be right, though. What do you think about that, Mason? That would be very interesting. You know how I would like to see it play out, if it were to play out, Mason? I'm going to build off Matt's theory, if Matt doesn't mind. Yes. Remember the end of, what's that zombie movie that Zack Snyder did?

Dawn of the Dead? Dawn of the the dead where a whole lot of stuff happens after the credits like it tells a story instead of doing a post-credit scene you have it wrap up with maybe not you know so it could be any of the kind of major characters they infiltrate the death star and they stay there waiting for an opportunity to kill vader just hanging about in the locker room yeah because you can't surprise attacker attack vader you see it in all the comics and all the material he's really hard to get the jump on so that person this is all happening during the credits like credit happens

it's kind of chopped in and out okay and this would be a first for star wars yeah okay it would be yeah and it we need to do something different don't you mason no you can do exactly the same thing every time but then and it kind of shows them kind of trying to get closer to vader eventually becoming like he's he's right behind the corridor you can't like even ambush him in space because he's he's got the force man he can see things before they happen or whatever and then han solo shoots down they see their moment crash the tie fighter into vader how cool would that be that would be good. That is something for the fans though, I feel. Okay, sure.

Like I'm most, I imagine somebody who doesn't know Star Wars too well. Yeah. Would, in recalling that scene in A New Hope. Yeah. Would just assume that. Yes. Oh, definitely. It's a direct shot and then Vader, his TIE fighter shot and he flies out into space.

They don't recall the extra bits, right? No, absolutely not. But I think that would be interesting. Again, I don't think this is going to happen. I think that would be interesting to then go back to A New Hope if you didn't know that and be like, holy shit, that's exactly what happened. Right, okay. Yeah.

Yeah. Maybe this is the... One fan theory's got to be right. Maybe it's this one. Maybe, yeah. Maybe one. Maybe, yeah. Maybe one. Weekly Planet exclusive. Matt Post says hi exclusive.

Matt Post says hi exclusive. Mark Bernard exclusive. So many exclusives. Anyway, thank you, Mason. If you want to send your fan theories, please do, in long video format to Mason. Or what you can also do is, like, write it all in your notes page in your iPhone and then

send me the screenshot. Do you do that? Do you look at those? Yeah. Okay. Do that. Yeah. Good stuff, Mason.

The loonier the better, if you ask me. The more notes, the better. Mm-hmm. I got another- A limit of one note. Okay. If it's bigger than my actual iPhone screen, I'm not reading it. Fair enough.

Yeah. This is from Ezra Alex at Ezzy underscore Alex. Do you think hashtag weeklyplanetpod, that's how you find it. That's how we find it. You don't even have to tweet it to us. I'll find it. Some of them. Do you think that Rogue One will open with the regular titles and theme

or will there be a twist? Oh. He's thinking about it it because we have to skip because it's not an episode because it's not an episode so people are saying well if it's not an episode number they might skip the opening crawl

right right no I think they're going to have an opening crawl just as tradition correct goes I think it's just going to say Star Wars Rogue One and no crawl

that's it no there's going to be a crawl they actually did oh no they actually did a thing the Rogue One panel And no crawl? That's it? No, there's going to be a crawl. They actually did... They actually did a thing at the Rogue One panel where the crawl started and then it kind of stutters and kind of stops. And then they did a skit? No, it just kind of...

When Christy came out and it was... It kind of went from there. I think it would be cool to see a kind of a twist on it. That being said, don't change it unless you've got something better. Exactly. If you've got a great idea, sure. Like an amazing during credits sequence.

But other than that, yeah, I think, what would you do instead? Yeah, okay. I don't know. Could you do, could it be clips from episode four? Oh, yeah. But then again, that's set after. Also, another reason why that theory might not be true is because this movie apparently ends 10 minutes before A New Hope.

Right, okay. But then again, credits. Yeah, okay. Anyway, sorry, go on. Well, maybe you could have that elements of the trench run from A New Hope, put it at the front so people know. People know where you can go three. Yeah. So people know. Oh, okay. People know where you can, then you go three months earlier or whatever.

Three days earlier. Three days earlier. Something like that, right? Yeah. Okay, cool. Okay, yeah. All right. But then you've got old footage.

Yes. Do you want to open it? Or do you redo it? Do you do it from a different angle? Maybe. Yeah. It's interesting. One of the panels, one of the special effects II

model makey dudes he remade the Death Star plans okay it's like this you'd be if you remember from the first movie it's like this it's just all white lines the dark lines and he redid it so it's all crisp and clear okay really great okay could you tweak the the new, like the trench run scene? Yeah. So when you see Luke and you see Han, that it's got that modern tint to it? Right, right. Like it's on HD?

Yeah, sure. Yeah, yeah. Okay. I still don't think that's what it... I think there's going to be a crawl. Just a crawl. Yeah, fair enough. It's just going to be a crawl.

Because you've got to establish that it's a universe. You have to establish the timeline. Yes. And you have to... And it's going to be very difficult to. Because you've got to establish that it's a universe. You have to establish the timeline. Yes. And you have to... And it's going to be very difficult to go, okay, this is set in between this one and this one, unless you say, okay, whatever. You know, the Republic's fallen and bloody Anakin Skywalker

has been turned into Darth Vader and blah, blah, blah. So you know exactly where it is. Sure. I get you. And then 20 years past or whatever. Good stuff. Yeah. 20 years. Is it? I where it is. Sure. I get you. And then 20 years past or whatever. Good stuff. Yeah. 20 years.

Is it? I don't know. Okay. Yeah, about that. Oh, yeah, about that. Okay, great. This is from Robin at Fruzzle16. This is to you specifically.

Ooh. At Wikipedia Brown, can you, or hashtag Wikipedia Planet Pod also, can you recommend any of your comedian friends that are going to be performing in Edinburgh? Oh, I saw this. The Fringe. Okay, I'm going to look up Edinburgh Fringe right now. Now, you move in certain comedy circles, don't you, Mason? Yes, I do.

You're somewhat of a comedian fiend in the sense that you've murdered many comedians. Well, that's ultimately what I'm doing. Right. I'm getting to know a whole bunch of comedians. I'm ranking them in order of funniness. Yes. And then I'm killing them in order of not funniness. least funny goes first and then there will be one left are you starting with chris lilly because you hate him yeah uh you know what actually uh so uh my friend daniel walker

yeah she won the uh raw comedy the melbourne comedy festival raw comedy uh competition which is like a competition for uh upand-coming new comedians. She won it, and as a result, she gets a trip to Edinburgh. Oh, that's right. So I would say see her because she's very funny. Cool. Hang on. That's it?

Yeah, I don't know. Bloody, I don't know who's going. You've murdered too many. That's the problem. Yeah, I know, right? Oh, 2016 Fringe Program. Here we go. There's going to be a lot of comedians there.

Yeah, I know, right? How are you going to? There's no way for me to narrow this down. Do you know Jim Jefferies? No, I met him once. Was I there when we... He seemed very sad. Yeah, I think we were the same night.

When was this? I... It was maybe five, eight years ago. Was it at the Exford? I can't remember, but it was an open mic night, and this guy got up who'd never done comedy before, which is... Yes, that was that night. Yeah, that was... night and yeah that was so during melbourne comedy festival there is a there's a really gross pub called the exford yeah and they do sort of this open mic night and it's partly for these open

mic comedians to go and it's partly for the audience who who enjoy watching bad comedy yeah yeah and this guy got up this kid he under 17, under 18 because his parents were there. Uh-huh. And he opens up with, oh God, what was it? It was, you know, wouldn't it be funny if Muslims were like werewolves? If so, if you got scratched by one, you'd start praying to Mecca and wearing a turban. Yeah. And there was just dead silence.

Uh-huh. I mean, you can make Muslim jokes, but that's not anything. I remember the look on his face when he, like he probably told his friends that and they were like, that's an amazing joke. That'll kill. Anyway, he just bombed for five minutes straight. You left because you're like, I can't watch this. Right, right, right. And then Jim Jefferies got up and I'd never seen him before and he fucking crushed it.

Yeah. Cause I initially thought, cause I'd never seen him before. I assumed it was just a, he, he came on like he was just a really drunk guy. Yeah. Like it was just giving comedy a go. And he was like, throw me a topic. And he just, I'd never seen anything like it. It was incredible.

Yeah. But then afterwards he looked, we saw him outside and he was. He was all sad. Furiously smoking a cigarette. And he was like, was that all right? Did I do enough time? Yeah. Dude, that was great. Yeah. Yeah. He he was like, was that all right? Did I do enough time? Dude, that was great.

Yeah. Yeah. He's really good. Look, there's 115 pages of comedy on here. So I, look, I'll get back to you next week. I'll find out who my friends are going and I'll tell you who's good. Okay, good. And rest assured, if they've told me they're doing it and I don't mention them on this

show, they're bad. Take note. Yep. All right, Mason, that's the show for this week. They're bad. Take note. All right, Mason, that's the show for this week, except for one more quick thing. I'm moving the Weekly Planet podcast to its own YouTube channel, which doesn't have a URL yet. I mean, it does, but it doesn't have like a name on it. So not like Mr. Sunday Movies does.

So I'll link it below. So all the Weekly Planet podcasts are going there because it's screwing with the YouTube algorithm. It's screwing with your metrics. It is. Your analytics. But I know people like to listen to it there as well. We're shifting it over.

That's right. The other thing was, I floated with you this before the show. If you've made a video or you've got to grab that gem that you filmed from somebody, somebody got to- We'll put them all on the one channel. We'll put them all on there. We'll chuck them all. Genius. I don't know how that's going to work.

So it'll just be kind of a bit of this and a bit of that and the podcast as well. So rest assured, things will continue as usual. You just have to subscribe to a different channel if you want or just listen to it as you normally do. How are you listening to it now? Continue to listen to it like that. That's right. Yeah.

But there'll probably be a bit of bonus stuff kind of going up there that our people have made. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It have made yeah yeah cool love it so that'll be fun time fun yeah good stuff i'm still in the a's edinburgh fringe there's no way i'm gonna get my computer's about to die yeah i'm just looking at the star wars celebration nothing new we can probably it's safe to assume that nothing happened at the future filmmakers panel Nothing more will happen in the world of entertainment. Oh, here we go. It's got a clip from James Cameron's The Abyss for some reason. You know that bit when the water makes a face?

Yep. What a shit movie that is. That whole movie was built around the water making a face. Yeah, that's right. It was morphing, man. Yeah. That's when you could just have a new technique and just a new... That's all you need. Yeah, and just, that was morphing, man. Yeah. That's when you could just have a new technique. That's all you need.

Yeah, that was the movie. Well, they did that in Avatar as well. Yeah, it was no good. Just a new technique. All right, that's the show. Where can people find us, Mason? They can find us at Weekly Planet Pod on Facebook and Twitter and Gmail and Bandcamp. We've got all the commentaries.
