Red hot comic book movie news. Shooting up your butthole. The Weekly Planet. The Weekly Planet. The Weekly Planet. Mason, before we get into the sad news of the show. No, wait. That's not how I start. No.

Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of The Weekly Planet. If I can butt in here for a moment. See, normally I don't hear the theme music. We just go straight from the ad. We pause briefly and then we go into the intro for the show. Yeah. James hummed he very quietly and solemnly sung the theme music to himself and then he just started on the episode

he skipped the intro he's he's losing his mind all right i'm ready i'm ready go ahead we start again welcome back everybody to another episode of the weekly planet official podcast of comic book movie.com where we talk movies comics tv shows my name is James also known as Mr. Sunday with me as always my co-host Nick Mason I'm here we've been busy this week for Star Wars

stuff haven't we yeah there's been so much Star Wars stuff couple of things first thing is our episode of episode one of Caravan of Garbage is up

new series Star Wars series of Caravan of Garbage that's right if you're listening to this it's like the previous podcast episode that's the extended audio

version it's also linked below and there's a video version yes edited by Ben who's great and eric uh chen does the animations ben ben of canada he doesn't live in canada he lives in scotland funny story he's a student there it's amazing he's doing acting it's not he's got a lot of strings to his he really does he really does he's got a good uh blog series he's probably really nice too but yeah so that that takes the first episode is an alternate take on Star Wars A New Hope. One twist, one thing goes wrong and it sets off this whole different tale.

It's a comic book series. It's amazing. What if it were the droids they were looking for? Yeah, good question, Mason. I mean, that's not the story. Not a twist. Maybe that's this week's episode because there's another one this Thursday. What if he took a shortcut and he went directly to Tosche Station?

He got those power converters. You came straight back. Everything was fine. Good question. These are all valid questions we don't answer. And there's another episode this Thursday. Yep. It'll be up a little bit earlier on Patreon if you're interested. Patreon.com slash MrSundayMovies.

But it will also just be up in the regular places if you can. And they're real good. They're real good, mate. Video stuff especially, man. I agree. Sometimes we record it and I'm like, how's this going? It seems pretty good. I don't know. And then I agree sometimes we record i'm like how's this going it seems pretty good i don't know and then i see the animation i'm like oh it is good send it out to some professionals yeah exactly that's how i should do everything the other thing

is we finally got around to recording uh our commentary track for the phantom menace yes that like i i thought i would like it more like i thought over time i'd be like oh no i've kind of settled into it and I've come at peace with this. It's got a certain charm to it, you might have thought. But far out, man. That is a... Yeah.

It goes forever. But I really enjoyed the commentary. Me too. And a lot of people have given us good feedback already. A lot of people have been like, oh, look, this was the best way to watch a bad film. Yeah. So if you've lost a bet

and you have to watch Star Wars Episode I or you're being threatened at gunpoint and they're like, listen, we will murder you unless you watch The Phantom Menace, but you can watch it in whatever way you choose. Maybe put our commentary over the top. Have a nice time. That's also at Bandcamp. I'll link that below.

And you can just play it for free there if you want. I know there's been some syncing issues when people do that. That's not for me to get you to buy it. I'm just saying if that happens to you, that might be why. But also ultimately if it comes a little bit out of sync it's probably yeah it's probably all right but it's also on the mp3 is on patreon so that's already there and also we're hoping to do we'll try and do attack of the clones this week yeah um we'll get them we'll get all the prequels done before rogue one i hope so yeah yeah all right otherwise what are you gonna how are you gonna know what's happening in rogue one if you haven't

listened to our dumb commentaries exactly oh one final plug this week I was on an episode of Do Go On you were I listened to it one of my favourite podcasts to listen to

which means I have to go a week without listening to an episode because I have my dumb voices on it but so the last time I so it's a podcast where every week one of the members does a report on something

they find interesting and the other two essentially sort of try and drag them down with the relevant commentary last time I did a report I did it on interesting and the other two essentially sort of try and drag them down with the relevant commentary. Last time I did a report, I did it on Marvel Comics, which was kind of a fun ride. And this time around, people were like,

oh, you should come back and do DC. Bear with me just one moment. I'm waiting, Mason. I can say this, though. I've listened to it and I really enjoyed it. Yeah, because I was like, well... There's some great Nicolas Cage Superman stuff. Yes.

And not just about his role where he nearly was Superman. Yeah. Like his comic collection. Yeah, because the idea was people were like, why don't you come back and do DC? And I'm like, okay, cool. That would be the history of DC. It's probably just as interesting as the history of Marvel.

And it kind of isn't. Yeah. But in researching it, I found an interesting article by a guy called Sandro Contenta which is called Superman Everyone Wants a Piece of His Legend which is sort

of about DC Comics and Superman and a fun little wrinkle to do with Action Comics number one. Absolutely. It's a really good

article and I'm like I should talk about that and DC and all that sort of stuff and it's good fun. Yeah, no I really enjoyed it. Thank you.

Well done Mason. Thank you. I enjoyed it a lot. Yeah, no, I really enjoyed it. Thank you. Well done, Mason. Thank you. I enjoyed it a lot. All right. I'm just going to drag this down for a second. Okay, great. Please. Just bring it down a notch.

Ron Glass passed away. Oh, he did too. Yeah, 71? Yeah, so people would know him from, that's a reasonable age, but not for Hollywood. No. So people would know him from Firefly. Yeah. He's-

Shepard. Shepard, yeah. Yeah, exactly. He's done a bunch of other stuff. Yeah it kind of surprised me. I'm like oh shit I didn't even

what? Like yeah. And I'm not sure if there's any information on on his passing but yeah that's he's obviously a guy

that will be missed. Yeah that really sucks man. Yeah. But you know what doesn't suck? The next piece of news. Oh no.

There's an Alien Covenant poster. Oh alright. I didn't see I didn't see any of the Alien, the original poster. I just saw a lot of parodies that people sent to me. There was a Woody one, the Toy Story one, and there's some other ones. Although I just showed it to you from across the room on my phone.

Yep. And that's all the kind of information you needed. It's just an alien's face. Yeah. You got it, right? From context clues, people were like, oh, this is an Alien Covenant poster. Here's the parody. from context clues people like oh this is an alien covenant poster here's the parody i went oh it's probably an alien space i imagined it in my mind and then it was exactly what what you said had a greener tint than you may have expected yeah yeah

but other than that does that mean we're finally good does that mean we're finally going to get actual aliens in this yes that's the idea thing or are we not though which what might be sigourney weaver's mother in this movie, potentially. Or Alan Ripley's mother, I should say. I don't know whether that's a rumour. I really hope that's not the case, but I bet it is. Oh, it will be, yeah. But we've talked about this before.

It works in the Alien Isolation video game. It's because Ripley's daughter is the protagonist in that. Did I say protagonist, right? You said, no, protagonist. Okay, good. And she's actively searching out what happened to her mother. Which makes perfect sense. Yeah.

But there is no connection. Like at the start of Alien, Ripley's not like, this is a similar thing to what happened to my mother. Exactly. She's not like, look, the only reason I ever went out into space is because my mother encountered some weird alien stuff and everyone said I was crazy, but here I am going out into space. You don't even know

she's the main character until like 90 minutes into that movie. For the first 89 minutes you think it's a weird robot made of ball bearings and milk. But it isn't. It's not.

Yeah. But... That movie should be called Robot Filled with Ball Bearings and Milk because that's the scariest part of that movie. Absolutely it is, yeah. It's in for like 10 minutes.

Yeah, yeah. But... It just goes to sleep. Yeah, I is, yeah. It's in for like 10 minutes. Yeah, yeah. It just goes to sleep. Yeah, I know, yeah. A weird pipe thing. Anyway, that's a great movie though. I love it. But the release date for Alien Covenant has moved from August to May 19th. They've moved it up, which is good.

Very confident. Apparently there's going to be two Davids because... Right, that was Fassbender's? Fassbender's guy, yeah. One that's just a head. Yes. And one that's just a body. They're running around trying to meet for the whole movie.

They're always missing each other at train stations. I think he gets his head sewn back on. Great. Because they... Oh, do they recover his body? Maybe they don't at the end of Prometheus. We should watch Prometheus and do a commentary and make fun of it. All said you've seen it obviously yeah but no at the end he's just a head in a bag yeah and she's like time to time to get on with this but she's not coming back that actor

no she is she is there was a rumor that she wasn't but she will appear so yeah bullet dodged yeah i'm not i'm still at the train station that's right i haven't been reading a lot on it because i kind of want to be surprised at least at least until I see this trailer and break it down and ruin it for everybody and myself. But my understanding is David's up at this paradise and they all arrive and they're like, this is a paradise. And he's like, it is a paradise. Or is it? You know, that kind of thing.

I get it. Yeah. So I am looking forward to it. I think if the script's tight, it'll be good. Is it an alien paradise? I don't, I have no no idea because it's weird the alien universe like there's all these pockets and there's some it's like this super high-tech kind of paradise situation and alien paradise yeah and sometimes it's just like a dirty old ship yeah with 1970s computers in it yeah it

looks like the inside of a submarine like a so Soviet era submarine or something. Yeah. Anyway, are you looking forward to it? Yes. Me too. Will it be good? Probably not. No, look, I think it's all dependent on the script. I think Ridley Scott is a good director if he has a good script and he hasn't been getting good scripts of late.

Wow. Except for The Martian, which I enjoyed. Do you think maybe he's overconfident? Maybe that's why it's been pushed forward. See, you would think it's been pushed forward to May because they're like well it turned out it was great we don't need to reshoot anything everything's turned out fine but maybe Ridley Scott's like this is perfect put it out there

and they're like wait but what about putting in some special effects and he's like I won't hear of it put it out there people are going to use their imaginations I'm an auteur look it's very likely that's the situation we'll find out on May 19th. Great.

Star Trek news, Mason. We're still in space, if you can believe it. Michelle Yeoh, she's joined the cast of Star Trek Discovery, which is the new CBS series. But it's moved to Netflix? No, I got that information because I knew you'd ask. I didn't know you'd ask, but I wanted to convey this anyway. Each episode will air on Netflix 24 hours after release.

Cool. So normally Netflix dump all the episodes at once. I'm not aware of a show where it airs and then it goes straight to Netflix and then you wait a week. That's not really a Netflix model, but I like it. No, it does it on Stan. Oh, you and your Stan, aren't you? You're a bloody fan of it, mate.

Fan of Stan. Stan fan. Anyway, Michelle, yeah, I think that's a great choice. She's great. We don't know if she's the captain. I think that's the assumption. Yeah, because we don't know if she's the captain I think that's the it's the assumption yeah because we don't have we don't have any other cast listed

no she's the first you would think they'd and maybe the only yeah it's a prequel and it was in the days of you just had a captain that was it

that's right solo mission that's how it went what if they went the other way what if they were like okay janitor first Michelle Yeoh's the janitor and then they move up

they cast thousands of people yeah vending machine technicians right that's Red Dwarf style that's Red Dwarf yeah first. Michelle Yeoh is the janitor and then they move up. They cast thousands of people. Vending machine technicians. That's Red Dwarf style. That's Red Dwarf. Did you end up finishing Red Dwarf? No.

That's a new season? No. It wasn't a fan? There were some good episodes in it. Yeah it didn't grab me though. Yeah fair enough.

It didn't grab me enough to keep coming back. I'm not against it. It's just going to go on a pile of stuff that I'll get to when I've gotten through literally everything else.

Right right gotcha. Okay, fair enough then. New Mutants. There's an animatic. We're back on Earth. Yes, we're back on Earth finally. There's a new animatic which you couldn't get to play because it was in a weird website.

So you're going to have to just... So we're going... It's not a trailer. No. It's one removed from a trailer. It's an animatic. Yes. And we're one removed from that

because you're going to have to explain to me what happened in it so it's a it's a mutant with a sword and a dragon on her shoulder and she fights a giant bear nice and looking at it i'm like i don't care for animatics but this will look incredible a lot like fully realized yeah she flips over it and runs through you know one of those like hospital bridges between two hospitals yep like barrels through one of them It's like chlorine inside the building. Cool. It's demon bear as we discovered before the show. Someone I've never heard of.

But no, I'd watch a giant bear fight a girl with a sword and a dragon. At this point, I would probably watch anything in the X-Men universe that is a departure from just a big... People in black suits. Yeah. Yeah. Just give us the costumes and have them fight a giant bear. That's fine.

I agree. I completely agree. Although we have had a bear in an X-Men movie before. What? X-Men. Oh, no. The Wolverine. The Wolverine.

Okay. Yeah. Wolverine kills it. Maybe it's the revenge of the bear. Maybe it's the revenge of... Thank you. Good. Good stuff.

All right, Mason. Yeah. And good. You know what? It didn't blow me away, but I'm like, I can see how this will be really good. Also, I've never seen this in an X-Men movie. So great. Yeah.

I'm 100% on board. We're getting magic. We're getting Wolf's Bane. Yeah, Wolf's Bane. Yeah. It's no Werewolf Captain America, but it'll do. Yeah, for now. I mean, we'll get around to it, won't we?

Oh, yeah, absolutely. Let's see at some point if only like it'll be a cutaway like in an Avengers movie or it might be a throwaway reference on like Agents of Shield

or something right right like they're just like remember when Captain Rarek was a werewolf and I'll never say it and it'll just pass me by yeah

do you want some some updates on the Highlander movie yes was I am I aware that there is another Highlander movie Ryan Reynolds was going to do it for a while it kind of didn't happen huh uh and now john wick director the other director the one who's not

doing deadpool 2 chad star helski he's gonna be he's gonna do it what do you think of that great we'll find out who's the better director weren't we though yeah yeah so would you i don't think this is a the last i heard of this is that it's not a sequel it's a reboot that's fine you kind of have to they're all reboots it's done well that's the thing like highlander high because the highlander movies are and tv shows are of such wildly varying quality. No. Yeah. Yeah. And because they're all so unconnected seemingly. Yeah.

Islander apologists on the internet are always like, they make sense if you assume they all take place in a different universe. I don't assume that. They still don't make that much sense. But yeah, they kind of have to be a reboot at this point. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. I should just point this out.

This is a new mic and it's standing on the table so I don't know how this is going to sound. So if it's all wobbly and jangly, I apologize. But you were very upset before. It's different

and I don't like it. That's probably what threw you off at the start. Very true. It's kind of obscuring my view. I don't know where to put it. If he's put a real cool, clean opening

like intro to this. No, I haven't. Just to be clear. I fucked it up. We had fun. Yeah. Good, good stuff't. Just to be clear. I fucked it up. We had fun. Yeah. Good, good stuff.

Just a bit of Star Wars news, Mason, if you don't mind. Hang on, what else is happening in this Highlander movie? Do we have any other details? That's it, that's all we know. I'm fairly certain it's the Con and McCloud story. Look, it's one of those things

that I love the concept of. First movie was... I like it. I think it's great. Yeah, it's good. It was all its time. It's kind of shit. Yeah, exactly.

And 4 is pretty good and I like some of the TV series, but I would like to see a really good one-off. Like the Star Trek reboot. Sure. Maybe they only make one, and it's good. I'd like to see that. No.

They'll make one, and then they'll try and make five. Yeah. That's what they'll do. Well, we got five good ones last time, didn't we? I'm an auteur no just putting it out here people can imagine the sword fights we won't show them we'll tell them can you tilt that a little bit towards me yes yeah that's better nice uh great good i'm glad you're pleased i guess very much so also what kind of swords are you gonna wield katana a big one a

big one a big bloody katana it's also got that thing that's in every 80s sci-fi slash action slash magic movie. Is it homophobia? There's a lot of that. Yeah, there is that scene, isn't there? What, do you want to go on a date? We'll kill you! I was going to say that blue cartoon lightning. It's in everything.

Yeah. say that blue cartoon lightning yeah everything yeah yeah well i mean well in a way blue energy cannot in hollywood cannot be created or destroyed it can only be it can only be changed in form that's true so in in the 80s it was lightning just flying everywhere and now it's a beam of light shooting out of something that's true and in the early 2000s it was in james bond it was a suit that shot electricity that's right yeah they tried to finally contain it not possible yeah all right uh Star Wars Mason um you remember Josh Trank was gonna do a uh Star Wars movie yeah we talked about it he's back on Trank he is back on Trank we missed it but he's got another gig I can't remember Tranktions thank you to whoever came up with all

the names for those I uh I can't remember what it is. That's old news. But he's back. I'm good on him because I think he should have another shot because, I mean, he kind of ballsed up that Fantastic Four movie. I don't think that was entirely his fault. I've talked about this before. But he kind of, the way he conducted himself, if you want to get another gig, maybe just shut your mouth. Right, sure. Yeah.

Anyway, whatever. His movie has been confirmed that it was a Boba Fett film. You know what? At the same time, though, if he'd said nothing and this movie had come out and it was total garbage. Yeah. Then would he get another gig? Yeah, that's a really good question, actually. So maybe he shouldn't have. Maybe what he actually did was the correct thing to do. Because, I mean, that movie was the worst thing.

It was so bad. If he'd come out and been like, well, I'm really proud of this one. But everybody would have been like, why are you proud of this one? It was so bad. If you'd come out and been like, well, I'm really proud of this one, but everybody would have been like, why are you proud of this one? It was so bad. Yeah, and he would have had to defend it in a movie that he didn't make. Yeah.

That's actually a really good point. Keep doing what you're doing, Trank. Come on, buddy. Because it's the kind of thing where do you hire a guy who's burnt everything to the ground or is a yes man? Right. What do you do? You know what I mean? or is a yes man. Right. Like, what do you do?

You know what I mean? Damned if you do. Yeah. I prefer the burn everything to the ground guy. Now I think about it. Yeah, right. Yeah. Anyway.

So, anyway, it's Boba Fett. Actually, I did a video this week, Mason. You'd be interested in it. Oh, yeah. I love videos. It's on cancelled Star Wars projects. I talk about this a little bit there. But basically, they'd made a concept kind of trailer

that they were going to show at Star Wars Celebration 2015. That was the same time they showed the Rogue One concept trailer. Do you remember that? It was just like forest and then you see the Death Star and then there's like a brief battle. It won't be in the movie, but it's just kind of like, this is the kind of time we're going for. They apparently had one...

We're thinking about giant space stations that shoot lasers. We're thinking about battles. What do you reckon about that? I mean, it's a bit left field for Star Wars, but give it a whirl. People might be on board. They're clapping. Okay, good.

We did it. We did it, everyone. They clap at everything. But he got let go, slash fired, slash shown the door. It's, you know, fired. I think he got fired.

You can still see his fingernail markings on the door why if they try to do that to drag him out by security yeah but uh so it was all ready to go and he was going to get up in celebration and then and talk about it but then a couple weeks after that he said he had the flu and then he dropped out and off the back of this it's got the rage flu it makes me enraged all the time i argue with people people non-stop. It's all the bickering. I'll fight you. I have the flu. It's not my fault I have the flu.

On the back of this, it seems like they rescheduled everything and now we're getting the Han Solo movie and they've kind of shelved the Boba Fett movie for now. I don't really want to see either, like the Han Solo or Boba Fett. On surface value, if you're like, which one do you want to see? I'd be like, something else than either of those. You want the Obi-Wan Kenobi? Yeah, I do. Or something else.

Yep. But I just thought that was interesting. That was kind of confirmed. But yeah, maybe check out that cancelled Star Wars thing, Mason, if you want. It's below. On the dot of the shit that I've mentioned. Oh, well. There's also a new Rogue One trailer.

Let's not really spoil anything from it because it's the fifth or something like that. Too many trailers. I agree. And this one kind of, again again without going into it too much there's some stuff in the previous trailers where i'm like i wonder what this particular action where it'll turn up where it'll end up and they just show us yeah i know right they try there's a joke in there that's kind of fun but it kind of also threw yeah like an action beat yeah under the bus we know where that's gonna go exactly yeah

i don't know man no i don't like it but again in fact there's two there's two action beats in some of the previous trailers where i'm like how's this gonna what's how's this gonna wind up and we know now yeah exactly that's exactly the one thing i haven't revealed and i if you you were saying i i said oh this is gonna be the last one you said i don't think it will i think there'll be another one yeah there's the bit where we've seen it in numerous trailers where our Jyn Ersa is running down sort of a gantry and his TIE fighter comes up. God, I hope they don't ruin that.

I think they will. I reckon in the last one, the hatch is going to open and be like, it's me, Darth Vader. Thought you were going to get away, but no. No, no, no. He's going to waggle his finger accusatorily. Great. I would love...

This is what they do. But you know what? These trailers, they're not for me and you. Or he's going to be like, hop in because you're evil. We've revealed that you're evil through the course of the film. Get on board. We're going to go and shoot Luke Skywalker out of his trench run. Get in, buddy.

We're mates. Revealed. And yes, I. We're mates. Revealed. And yes, I'm aware it's a different TIE fighter. Are you, Mason? He switches over later. For sure, yeah. For the better one. Or it gets like hammered.

Oh, yeah, maybe. Gets caught in like a weird tube. But yeah, no, this isn't for us. This is for people who haven't seen any of these. Do you know what I mean? I guess so, yeah. Yeah. So that's the way I feel it. This is for people who haven't seen any of these. Do you know what I mean? I guess so, yeah. Yeah. So that's the way I feel.

This is marketing ramping up. It's less than a month away. Who hasn't seen one of these trailers at this point, though? I think there'd be a fair amount of people. Yeah. And I've had messages from people going, because I said there are people that still don't know what this is. And I've had messages from people going,

yeah, no, I went to the movies with a friend, and they're like, why is Jin being recast? What is this kind of thing? Because they think it's Rey or whatever. And as you said, who cares? As long as you get it. I don't care. I don't care what you think.

I don't care. Shush in the theatre. But it is tracking for 130 million opening. Maybe what I should do is I should have, when I go into the cinema, like a whole bunch of flyers that say this is a prequel on them. And then I hear the first person go, what's Darth Vader doing back? Why is Darth Vader still alive? I just flick him in the air.

And I get to prequel now and shut up. No, people will be quiet. I don't know. Depends when you go. If you go early, that's all the nerves. If you go with Star Wars fans, they're generally pretty good. You know what? They cheer too much and they laugh too much.

That's true. But I'm okay with that. It's better than somebody going, who's what? Hey, what? Like, I prefer that. So someone having a fun time, I'm okay with that. Yeah, so it's tracking for $130 million. But that may be also amazing because they've finally revealed that Jimmy Smits is in the movie.

They showed a picture. He's back. He looks just like him. Senator Organa. How do you think they've aged him up? Guess. How did they do it? The natural passage of time.

Well, yeah, yes. But like in the movie, what signifies, well, what do they do to age somebody up? Oh, grey beard? Grey temples. Very good. Okay, I was close. I think there is some grey in the beard. I'll pay that.

All right? Great. Great. If you don't mind, Mason I think there is some grey in the beard. I'll pay that. All right? Great. Great. If you don't mind, Mason, I'm going to stay in the world of space. I went back up there and you didn't even notice, but we're still there. Yeah.

Legendary have acquired the rights to Dune. Ooh. Now, Legendary, of course, acquired Dracula. Did they? Dracula Untold. That's Legendary features. Okay, great. For a possible movie or TV project,

how does that fare in your line of work? Dune. Have you seen the original? Yeah. And? Look, it's a real slog, but those personal force field effects are very good. All right, even for the 80s?

Yeah. Is there blue lightning? Incredible for the 80s. All right, then. I can't recall there being any blue lightning, no. I don't believe that. Maybe in the gullet of the 80s? Yeah. Is there blue lightning? Incredible for the 80s. Alright then. I can't recall there being any blue lightning, no. I don't believe that. Maybe in the gullet

of the sandworm. Sure. I've never seen it because it looks shit and really long. Also, I heard that when people would go to the cinema originally

they would give them like a pamphlet and be like, this is the world of Dune and then they could explain it to you before you see the movie. It'd be like,

your prequel pamphlets that you bring in. There's a guy at the door and he's got the pamphlets and he doesn't say anything but there's somebody who's like, how do those two characters know each other? He's like, here's your references!

Are you a fan of the source material? Because there's a lot of people who love... I've never gotten through a Dune novel. Okay, fair enough. But I did enjoy Dune II, The Building of a Dynasty, which is the real-time strategy game. It's like Command & Conquer. Okay, then.

It's real good. From the 90s, I assume. Yeah, I think so, yeah. I don't care about that. I remember that game, actually. It's really good. Yeah, because... You pick a team.

David... Atreides, Harkonnen, Ordos, which I don't think were in any of the movies. Okay, sure. Where they're from. Was the guy from Sex and the City in it? No. What's his, Trey?

He's in the original. I don't think Trey was in it, no. He wasn't? No. Because he's the chosen one or whatever, isn't he? He shows up at the end riding a worm and they're like, look, it's fucking, what's his face? It's that guy from Sex and the City. His dick doesn't work.

Was that his face? That's that guy, yeah. Yeah, okay, right. Yeah, yeah. David Lynch what's his face? It's that guy from Sex and the City. His dick doesn't work. Was that his face? That's that guy, yeah. Yeah, okay, right. Yeah, yeah. David Lynch did it, right? Yes. He nearly did Return of the Jedi. And when he went and looked at the concept art,

he saw like the Ewoks and everything and whatever. And he got a splitting headache and he left. He was like, I took it as an omen. Right. I would have loved a David Lynch Return of the Jedi. Are you kidding me? Is it a dune? Which I haven't seen.

It's probably terrible. But what if he put all this Dune? What if it was a real long, boring one? I don't think he could. He put all these Dune sensibilities, really. Because it would have been him... Anybody working off George Lucas with a specific vision, I think that's a good combination of things. I think maybe then it would never have happened.

I think maybe we would have fallen apart midway through and then Lucas would have just come in and been like, yeah, it might get exactly the same well that's pretty much what happened Richard Marquand who directed Return of the Jedi

he did but a lot of that stuff Lucas pretty much directed Return of the Jedi right okay yeah anyway it's neither here nor there I'm glad they're moving

forward with it but really I don't whatever Dune Dune with a J like June like the month

yes exactly as women Really, I don't, whatever. Dune. Dune. With a J, like June, like the month. Yes, exactly.

It's a bit of video game news. There seems to be confirmation that Warner Brothers Montreal, who did the Arkham Origins game... The not as good one.

Yeah. But in hindsight, really good boss battles compared to the last one. Okay. Yeah. With Damian Wayne as Batman. Ooh.

Yeah. So I'm interested in that. I don't think this is a property that Warner Brothers would be ready to, like, they'd be like, this makes a lot of money. Like, even if Rocksteady doesn't want to make one, I'd still imagine they'd like just Assassin's Creed this year. So this is going to be set in the future. Ten years after.

It's not going to be set now and Damian Wayne's in, like, a really oversized bat costume. I would love that. With flappy sleeves because they're way too long. No, it's, yeah, it's a future endeavors and whatnot. Okay, great. What do you think? Good.

I would like to see... I enjoy any kind of future variation of... Batman? Batman, yeah. Comics? Yes. Kid in a big flappy suit? Definitely.

Well, actually, I have never... I wasn't... Well, I'll start the whole sentence again. I was never a fan... I left an edit point, but I know you're not going to edit it. Nah, I'm going to leave it in. Yeah, good. I feel, I was never a huge fan of Damian Wayne, the character. Yeah.

I find him mostly very irritating. But recently I read the first issue of the new Teen Titans. And now he's a teen and not an irritating tween. I quite like him a lot. Sure. And also the new suit looks good. Okay then. But I also like future versions

because normally he's made some sort of deal with the devil of some kind to safeguard Gotham City like there was a there's a version of him

back when DC had hyper time where he made a deal with the devil and now he was he had like a super healing factor like he was

bullets would just go right through him because he sold his soul to the devil to safeguard Gotham city. Like he's, he's taken Bruce Wayne's vow to protect everyone. Yeah.

Way too far. Which I enjoy. It's hard to live up to your dad's legacy. That's right. Especially when he's Batman. Especially when he's Batman. All right, Mason,

before we talk about the thing that I'm going to make you do today. Great. Yeah. I'm looking forward to whatever it is. Uh, we're sort of starting a podcast network or the early days of. We're giving it a whirl. Giving it a whirl.

Giving a bash. That's right. Giving it a good old Aussie try. You know it, mate. Which is to say, not try very hard. That's right. Or either not try very hard and it doesn't work. Yep.

Or work really hard and pretend like you haven't done any work. And then if it works, you're like, well, I didn't even try. And then if it does work, you're like, I'm the best that's right uh it's called planet broadcasting and you can follow along to see what's happening at at planet b casting because you can't fit planet broadcasting into a twitter handle the first podcast that's kind of uh jumping on board is uh filthy casuals which is what we've talked about we've talked about the last kind of month that's right leading up you thought we were doing that because we liked them they're friends of ours started like it started like that that's true yeah and then we feel we wouldn't get anybody on you anybody on

board who we don't know and we've worked with before yeah exactly and the idea is to kind of build up and kind of build a like a it's like a small network of like australian podcasts yeah yeah we think are good yeah and we think a lot of people would enjoy. Yeah. If they got around to hearing them. But sometimes there are a lot, there are a lot of podcasts that sort of disappear, even though they're great because people just haven't found a place to listen

to them. So the re one of the reasons that ours has kind of done as well as it is doing. Cause we promised to pay everyone who listens. I said, I'd give everybody 50 bucks in 10 years yeah sure yeah but uh it's because i've got the youtube channel and you know so many times a month like i my mentioning the video that's right so that kind of perpetually kind of gets listeners

on board and then obviously people tell other people also so it just kind of grows and a lot of people in australia kind of don't have that platform that's true like there's still some there's obviously there's there's big podcasts but we're in a position where we can kind of help out some people so we thought why why don't we do that for a bit yeah so we're going to do one see how that goes and then maybe you know maybe end up doing a handful maybe do 50 eventually yeah probably not though but uh it's just something we just thought we'd given a go and we'll do so many that we forget sometimes they're on our network that's what we're going to do

yeah exactly if you follow that Twitter handle at planetbcasting all the kind of relevant information there is also

and it's my partner who's kind of she's headlining the whole thing isn't she it's not yeah that's right like we're loosely involved

but it's mostly me going yeah whatever you want man because she's she's big on kind of telling you what to do yeah she is but she's she's big on kind of telling you what to do yes she is but she's she's big on uh like getting artists paid for their work as well that's right and because a lot of times people kind of do stuff and and you've experienced this knowing comedians it's expected that they just do it because they love it yeah which is kind of

bullshit yeah do it for the exposure yeah no good so we're trying to kind of do the opposite of that where hopefully you'll get some exposure and then from that advertising revenue and and whatever so and people can kind of make a go of it and they can be as successful as successful as us mason as successful as us in uh in this spare room yeah and that i still have to do the youtube thing and you still have to work a full-time job we'll take it mason that's right yeah it's all working to hang out in this man cave oh which reminds me can you put our on air sign on oh sorry i forgot okay we got this don't we it's good if this ruins my new microphone situation mason i'm gonna be very upset okay is that on no now it's on now it's actually recording yeah oh good all right starting again here we go

okay uh mason uh moana disney's Moana. Do you say it like that? I've literally never said it out loud, but if I did. Moama. Have you ever been there? No, I've never been to Echuca or Moama. Really? I had family up there. But I have listened to the Echuca Moama Sound Machine song.

And? Teenage Mullet Fury. Sure. I once went paintballing there as well once. Oh, yeah. Just hated it. All right. Disney's Moana. Yes. It had a big box office weekend, Mason. Oh, yeah. Just hated it. All right. Disney's Moana.

Yes. It had a big box office weekend, Mason. Oh, yeah. Maybe it's because it's a Disney bloody animation. Maybe because the rock's in it and he's playing a variation on himself where he's a god. Oh, yeah. He's kind of godlike, isn't he? In a way.

In real life. Why is he so big? In a way, it's kind of a step down. He's a god. That's exactly it. I thought this week, to round out the year, because we're kind of a step down he's a god that's exactly it I thought this week to round out the year because we're kind of winding up for

you know how things are going and we promised that we'd talk about Disney movies but the problem is you've barely seen any Disney movies

name a classic Disney movie I haven't seen it and you hate Pixar I wouldn't say I hate Pixar you know what I hate I hate sad movies where people

you know what I hate? I hate sad movies where people... I hate sad movies the purpose of which is to give a child a really heavy handed moral lesson and they have to be sad for most of the movie and then it gets a little bit happier towards the end. And that's every Disney movie. Yeah, fair. Okay. Alright.

I can't really argue with that. So what I thought we'd do today... I like a fun movie where people have a fun time. That's what I like. Like Porky's. Yeah, like Porky's. Revenge of the Nerds. Animal House.

Police Academies 1 through 7. Exactly. All these things. So what I thought to do is try and- I've got five Disney movies here. Yes. Most of them animated. None of them 3D animated.

Okay. I thought we'd save that for another day. Classic Disney tales that I'm going to try and convince you that you have to see. Okay. All right? Now, before we get started, how many of these follow my description of a Disney movie that I've just done, which is they're kind of sad and there's a heavy-handed moral lesson and it's kind of a bunch of misery for 90 minutes.

That's something we could address maybe in a movie. Okay, cool. Yeah, yeah. So I just want to say this up top, fuck all that old stuff. Like the stuff from between like the 30s and 40s up until like the late 80s. Oh, no Steamboat Willie. None of that. No like old Cinderella, Snow White, Pinocchio.

Dumbo? None of that. You know what? Dumbo, I think, was literally the last one of these movies I saw. Okay. Because I'm like, oh, he's... You liked The Crows, didn't you, in it? No.

I didn't like any of it. He's trapped on a train. Do you remember when they make him jump off the... Just fly about and fight crime, mate. You've got the fly. You can fly. You've got to... From memory, that's a terrifying movie. Remember've got the fly. You can fly. You've got to... From memory,

that's a terrifying movie. Remember he has the acid trip? Yes. Yeah. Exactly. And they all go to a weird realm

where they get punished for just being... just for existing. You know what I mean? Pinocchio. He's bloody cursed. Don't the crows make him jump off

a really high tree with a feather and be like, you can fly... Is that an awful thing? Then they probably made him do it and made children watch that. Great. So I'm skipping all that.

The only one I would say you'd probably enjoy is Robin Hood with the fox. And he's like Robin Hood. And remember he goes to the archery tournament and he's pretending he's a big, big legged bird. He's like, he's accidentally being really good at archery. It's a good movie, mate. Is it? Is that because you have a thing for the weird fox made merry that's not we talked

about this and no but that is the thing i'm not one of the i'm not it's not really my thing to be honest cartoon animal ladies yeah look man like what you like what are we doing okay so the first one i want to kick off with uh it's a classic we'll'll see. The Lion King. Have you ever seen The Lion King? No. I'm not going to be that guy. Please, don't do it. Contextually, I'm aware of what The Lion King is. Let me just ask you this.

How have you not seen The Lion King? Just never got around to it. But you were a kid when that came out. What year did it come out? 94. What else came out in 94? I was watching all of that sort of stuff. True Lies? I was probably watching sort of stuff. True Lies?

I was probably watching True Lies. True Lies is great. Yeah, True Lies is great. Yeah. Fair enough. That's why I have a thing for sexy, anthropomorphic... What's that lady's name? Jamie Lee Curtis? Jamie Lee Curtis, yeah.

Or the other one? Tom Arnold's. Who's the other lady in that? The evil lady. Eliza Dushku's in it. Oh, she is too, but she's like 14 in that. Okay, what are we doing? So, have you ever seen the opening at least

with like the amazing incredible hey yeah I'm aware of it look I feel I've seen enough clips from it that I get it okay

okay well how about this yes I normally make you do this for movies that you've seen I have seen but what do you think the story is you know what good

I'm normally I'm like what's the plot? But you know what? I'm going to give this a good confident go. Great. There's a lion and he's already the king. Yeah. Which one though?

Not the main one. No, because all Disney characters need a parent to die. They all need to be orphans. Because why would you have a kid have a happy childhood? Can't. Can't have it. All right. So.

You build empathy into the story. There's a dad lion, I assume, and a mother lion. That's his name. Dad lion and mom lion. And they're the royalty. They're the king and queen of the lions. Of the whole bloody jungle. Yeah.

Kings of the queen of the jungle. Right. Yeah. Okay. And then they have a kid. He's the lion king. Future? Yeah. Okay. And then they have a kid. He's the Lion King. Future Lion King. Right.

Little Lion. Do you want me to stop you? Or do you want, like, if you're wrong or right, or just, you just do it? Say I'm hot or cold. You're doing well. I'll stop you if you're way off. How about that? Okay.

There's another lion called Scar. Yeah. When does he get the scar? That's a really good question. There's a Lion King. Does the dad give him the scar? No, they're brothers. Uh-huh.

But there's a backstory where he wasn't called Scar and he's called taka i know that's the thing how do you know that that's the thing i came up on like bloody facebook or something okay cool all right there you go yeah so and then what happens and then scar wants to be the lion king right i assume yeah and then so he kills the mom and the dad. He kills one of them. The dad? Yep. What happens to the mum? Does she die on her own? No. Does she die of sadness?

He takes over the pride. Oh. And Simba, spoiler alert, for the Lion King, I guess. And Simba's fault. There's more of us out there, James. We all haven't seen the Lion King, all right? Simba thinks that it's his fault. Oh. Because.

Is there a fire? I'm thinking of Bambi. Bambi's mother's killed in a fire Just to teach children a lesson about Getting caught in a forest fire Don't let your mother ever leave your sight Because she'll die in a forest fire Take that with your kids forever

So Simba Ruds away into exile And Scar thinks that he's dead And so Scar takes over and he ruins the kingdom. And then Simba has to come back and reclaim the Lion King. Timothy. Great. Combo pack.

Nice. Yeah. But yeah, you got it. That's pretty much it. But it's one of those movies where if you get an opportunity to see this in the cinema, which you won't. I won't. You absolutely should.

Maybe it'll be on at the Astor or something. Would would you see the new one though the favreau one the live action one like they're gonna jungle book it i guess yeah fair enough but i will have to go with some people i'll have to go with literally everyone i know who loves the lion king right like oh my god how good is this and i'll be like i don't all right yeah see i see i'm skeptical that the the new one will work because i i genuinely think it's one of the best movies ever made not just animated movies i think it's one of the best movies yeah and it's i think it's really i know it's got a really powerful lesson about kind of it's not it's not just about your parent dying or whatever it's about taking that's a big part

that's a big part of it but it's taking responsibility and ownership and like stepping up yep and like standing you ground and and that kind of stuff also and just the animation itself is like it's it's over 20 years old now but there is really seamless blends of cgi and and uh hand-drawn animation okay like there's a bit where uh there's a there's a wildebeest stampede yep and and they've just duplicate duplicated them on on the computer. And that's something they hadn't on the computer screen. I was going to let it go. I was going to let it go, but you brought it back.

But that's something that they couldn't do with the hundreds and hundreds that they did. Also, Elton John does the soundtrack, which you can't... That's exactly right. Thank you So I'd say The only real weak parts of it are Matthew Broderick As grown up Simba I don't love that choice

Because the grown up Mufasa Is James Earl Jones The original Lion King Sure yeah The dad The dad And Jeremy Irons' scar They're an amazing combination

And Matthew Broderick's kind of like, eww. You know what I mean? I do know what you mean. So I'd say if there is a flaw in it, it's that. Yeah. Also, he's the only American one. Right.

He's the only American. Didn't even adopt a British accent. No. How dare he? Yeah. Also, I know T-Mon and Pumbaa are in it. Yeah. And they're great also.

Like, it's got genuinely funny moments. Bloody Mr. Bean's the bird in it. Oh, okay. Right. So, Whoop bird in it. Oh, okay, right. So, Whoopi Goldberg. Somebody pointed out, a friend of mine, Stu, is a stand-up comedian, and he has a bit about, it's a new bit about The Lion King. And I'm going to spoil it for people now that Timon and Pumbaa have also been cast out of there.

Right? They're out in the jungle. They're out in the bloody whatever. Yes, for their own reasons, yeah. One of them stinks. The one of them farts too much. Farts too much. other one he's being cast out or whatever he's he's the meerkat i don't know if they give a reason in the movie well here's the thing uh he points out that in his bit the only reason a meerkat is ever ejected from their like their their their group

is if they eat their brother or sister's children so So that's the reason he's out. You know what though? I was at the zoo not that long ago. And a meerkat was eating another meerkat? Yeah, well, I knew a guy who worked there. And so he kind of walked us through. All right. We all know people who work at the zoo.

Do we? I do. Who? I'll tell you later. All right, then, good. But we're like, oh, look at these meerkats. They're amazing. We can't give away all our zoo sources, can we? That's true, yeah.

Because otherwise we'll get locked out of the zoo. I bloody love the zoo, mate. I'd go to the zoo every week. But no, he's like, no, I hate them. They're grubby little pricks. They all cannibalize each other. And they're just, they're horrible. They're horrible creatures.

But you look at them and they're like, oh, they're like intelligent cats or whatever. But no, they're horrible. Also, there's an enclosure at the royal children's hospital as well there's like give sick kids or whatever can go and see the bloody meerkats or whatever see what to meet each other so in conclusion i'm not going to see this movie really look give me the other four okay throughout the course i'm going to pick one that i'm going to watch all right fair enough gotcha good but so far it's not this one. Yeah. Anything else? What else happened to that movie?

There's some good line-on-line fighting. Oh, yeah? Yeah. And loving? A little bit. Not too much. All right. Well, it didn't get you going like Blaine made Marion, did it? You know what?

There's a really emotional moment where Simba's being told, like, he's like, you need to, like, because there's a monkey in it, which is kind of like the priest kind of figure you know he holds him up on the rock hey yeah yeah I know

right and he goes to find Simba because he realizes he's alive and he's trying to like break it down for him that look your father's dead but you know he lives in you and whatever

and this is an amazing scene where like the clouds roll in and Mufasa's like in the cloud and he gives him like a bloody talk you've seen The Simpsons in the cloud. And he gives him a bloody talk. You've seen The Simpsons, right? Yeah, right, right. And he gives him a talking to. It's great.

It's an amazing movie. Yeah. I mean, I've spoiled most of it. Yeah, clearly. It's too late for me. It's fine. You know what? It probably is.

Yeah. It probably is. But you know what? It's something that, could you steal a kid and go see it and then see it through their eyes, maybe? Ooh, I guess. Actually, I live right near a school. You sure do. You could just borrow a kid. Great. it and then see it through their eyes maybe oh i guess actually i live right near a school you sure do you could just borrow a kid great that's fine okay so no on the lion king

so far no okay how about this if you don't want to see the lion king you can see brother bear it's the lion king but with bears is that really is that number two no okay good but you you for me with brother bear i'm aware of it wack. Joaquin Phoenix gets turned into a bear. Huh. And he killed another bear. Was that during his period when he was slightly crazy for a while? Ah, 2003-ish. Remember he turned into a bear?

No, yeah, I remember that. And he went on Letterman as a bear. As a bear, yeah. And he mauled Letterman. Yeah, I remember. Yeah, that's why Letterman quit. I think Brother Bear was kind of past the golden era that I'm kind of covering here. Okay.

All right, have you seen Aladdin? No. Have you seen the Sega Genesis game? It's really good. Or Mega Drive. I'm sure I saw it in like an electronic gaming market. It's side scrolling. Or a game pro.

It's really good, man. All right, do you get to be on the carpet? Yes. All right, do you get to be the genie? No. Oh, wow, wow. Not even a power-up that turns you into the genie? I don't believe so.

Also, there's a really good Lion King game on that era as well where you start as little Simba and then you grow with the levels. Progress, progress, yeah. Anyway, Robin Williams is the genie, Mason. Yep. This was in the era... Look, I've seen enough clips of that to be like, oh, I appreciate what he's doing there.

Sure. But I've not seen it. Good morning Vietnam-ing everything or whatnot. Does he do any references from his other movies? He does every reference of anything that's ever been like there's there's i imagine there's hours of deleted stuff oh sure right because like he does like jack nicholson and whatever and when you're watching this you're like who is this for right like i think he does bob hope and and whatever it's obviously for the adults yeah but that movie is worth it alone for

his performance okay yeah I feel anyway but like I'm not gonna lie like I went off Robin Williams movies like a lot of the later stuff that he did after Mrs. Doubtfire

yeah probably I mean there's Good Will Hunting there's some good stuff there I even like him in Bicentennial Man he gets turned into a robot or a robot turned into a man

he does a good performance in that episode of Louie yes he does that's a really good episode yeah so also it does a thing that wasn does a good performance in that episode of Louie. Yes, he does. That's a really good episode. Yeah, so also it does a thing that wasn't a big deal at the time, but I feel like they'd really hammer home what a big deal it is now. Racism. Racism.

There's a Middle Eastern princess. And at the time it was just like, it was nothing. But now I feel like you'd really see it in every blog to be like, look at this progression and blah, blah, blah. They just do it. It's just not a big deal. It's just like. Maybe it was a big deal at the time.

I don't think so. I mean, I was a kid, but I don't remember it being a big deal. There's also a giant talking tiger cave. Tiger cave. Yeah. It's a big tiger face. And it's like, get out of the cave. Who voices that?

I don't know. Is it a real tiger? I was going to say, is it Gilbert Gottfried? He is in it. Harvey Fein Is it Gilbert Gottfried He is in it Harvey Fierstein Gilbert Gottfried Is the parrot In that movie

Great Because there's Okay have you ever played Prince of Persia Yes It's that There's an evil vizier And he wants to take over

The kingdom using magic But in doing so He wants to get the lamp Oh wait What do you think The story of Aladdin is Well I think there's probably An evil vizier

And he wants to take over The land and he's got a lamp And the lamp's got a genie in it. He wants to get the lamp. But he can't get into the tiger cave because he's not pure of heart. But Aladdin is. Aladdin is. Is Aladdin, if I can ask, is Aladdin pure of heart because his parents are dead?

He's an orphan, yeah. Yeah. He's a street urchin. But you don't see him die, right? No. He's maybe mid-teens, 20. Okay, right. So they died.

He's had a lot of time to come to terms with their violent death when he was a real young kid. Well, Mason, if you watch the sequel, Aladdin Return of Jafar, but ignore that and move to the next one, Aladdin King of Thieves, he meets up with his dad. Dead dad. No, alive dad. What?

John Rhys Davies voices him. It's actually a pretty solid movie because he's the head of the 40 thieves. Oh, okay, right. Anyway, so he's not an orphan but yeah let's say he was really i mean at least one of his parents is dead right yes okay god relief i nearly had to reconsider all all my previous preconceived notions there right right but he's also a guy that he because he's been living on the street he aspires to better things and he has that heart of gold. Like you steal a loaf of bread

and then you like give it to lesser well-off orphans and whatever. There's a lot of orphans in it. Well, as long as some people's parents are dead. Yeah. And then he gets the opportunity of a lifetime and he comes across this genie who has modern 90s pop culture references.

And the princess has to get married or she has to marry the evil vizier Jafar. So he rolls into town with this like amazing, because one of the wishes is that he makes him a prince and he's just got like dancing elephants and does somebody do a rap i don't think there's a rap wow thank god yeah you're thinking of uh fern gully where robin williams plays the rat the the bat who does a rap you've seen fern gully no fair enough yeah that. That's okay. It's all right. It's about the environment. What do you think of that? I'm against it. Sure.

There's also a healthy mix of CGI a little bit. It's probably a little bit more noticeable because it's earlier. There's a bit where you follow the caves collapsing. You lost my arms across. I'm not involved with any of this. There's lava crashing about. Oh, yeah. And the magic carpets going through.

There's a lot of magic. You like magic, yeah? The vizier turns into a giant snake. What about that, Mason? Is that his one trick? No, he's got many tricks. And if you want to know the ending, which I'll spoil for you right now. If you could.

Aladdin, because he gets hold of the genie, so he gets the three wishes. And Aladdin tricks him. The only way to become the most powerful thing that he can be is it turn into a genie himself. But when he does that, then he can be trapped in the lamp. Right. So he tricks the vizier. Yes. That's what happens.

Great. No, that's not what something he could have done. And then he shoots him. All right. So there's a hand grenade down the snake skull. That's right. Exactly. Yeah.

Not interested, huh? No. What about for Robin Williams' performance? Does it get a bit grating? You know, I'm going to say no. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I mean, I haven't seen it in a while, but yeah, I think it's all right.

Okay, sure. Also, great soundtrack. All these have great soundtracks. Hey, I... Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, no. All right. Okay, but I probably would rather...

You know, I'm going to say Aladdin before I say The Lion King. Really? Because it's probably funnier. The Lion King's pretty funny. I don't know what to tell you. No, no. But it is as funny as Aladdin. I think The Lion King is a...

I like Aladdin, but The Lion King is better. Okay. Also, The Lion King was supposed to be... Disney were ramping towards Pocahontas, which I don't love. Pocahontas is okay, but it was kind of like, we'll just bang out The Lion King. You know, make a little bit of money or whatever. But Pocahontas is our flagship. We've got bloody Mel Gibson and it's about the American culture

and starting days and whatnot. Is the Lion King based on something else in Disney's film? Yeah, it's Kimba the White Lion. Oh, yeah. And it's, I want to say Macbeth, sort of. That's true. Yeah. That's why there's that Lion King sequel where...

Simba's Pride? No, the one where Timon and Pumbaa are Guildenstern and Rosencrantz. Oh, right. Yes. Yeah, yeah. And it shows what happens in between. The Lion King one and a half or whatever it's called. Yeah, yeah.

All right. This one, I got you on this one though, Mason. All right. Tarzan. Which one? The animated, the Disney one. When did it come out? 98, I want to say.

Haven't seen it. Okay, how about this? What's the story? Man, he's Tarzan, he's a baby. It's Tarzan, you could have said it. Yes, Tarzan, it's Tarzan. That's a relief because I didn't know where I was going to go after that. It's the story of Tarzan.

There's a few minor alterations, but essentially he's left on the island with his family. His family are murdered by a jaguar. Thank the Lord somebody died. Family's dead. That's right. Both of them. He's raised by apes.

Hey, I'm... Yep. But in the newer one, at least, his family are killed by apes. But in this one, they're killed by a cheetah. And then the apes rescue him. Because you'd always wonder as a kid... Which one of these freaks? If your parents were killed by apes, you'd be like,

Are my parents killed by these apes? That I'm being raised by by apes you'd be like were my parents killed by these apes when I'm being raised by these apes okay what about hey ape mom did you kill any of my parents

she did it but like the head of the tribe or whatever did yeah that's at least the new Tarzan movie is actually okay

yeah it's not like amazing but it's solid man I give it a whirl yeah what about this one alright but it's not like amazing but it's solid man give it a whirl yeah what about this one all right but it's got a phil collins soundtrack oh you know what i like phil collins as a pop artist but i don't like him as a soundtrack artist that was very harsh to phil collins he's rich he's got

some great pop hits yeah sure i saw an interview with him and... A better musician? No, it was a rap. Yeah, it was, but it was a rap. It was Action Bronson. Okay. Why were they together? I don't know. They just seemed to get along.

Good on them, mate. It's like a vice interview, I think. Was Phil Collins wearing a t-shirt and like an 80s sport coat? That's what he always seems to wear. I don't think he even had the sport coat on. It's a nice black tee, I think. Okay, do you like that cabriolet that they have in Australia where the gorilla plays the drums, plays in the air tonight?

I do, yeah. Imagine that, but Tarzan. Hello. No, it's not in it. There is some drumming in it. Rosie O'Donnell's an ape in it. It's kind of bad. Maybe I shouldn't have picked this one.

You're not selling this at all. Okay. Yes. It has some of the best, flat out the best hand-drawn animation you'll ever see like of all time like the jungle swinging effects and the because he's sliding through the trees or whatever it's really incredible could i just watch those on youtube yeah you probably could just type in tarzan best cartoon parkour oh a minute and 45 seconds there we go the best bits oh yeah that's all i had here really fantastic, well that's at number three at this point.

I'm not doing well, am I? No, it's fine. This was an uphill battle. I don't think I don't know how you ever thought you'd win this. Yeah, that's a really good point. I think I got you on this one though. Disney's Maleficent. Take a classic... The Angelina Jolie one? Yeah, take a classic Disney tale. Have you seen that? Yes. I have not seen it. Take a classic Disney tale, but imagine

a dark reimagining where you... No, it's not that. Yes. I have not seen it. Take a classic Disney tale, but imagine a dark reimagining where you... No, it's not that. It's shit. It's not shit. It's just... I think this was the kind of last gasp. They've done a few more scenes of like, just make straight adaptations. Why are you doing dark reimaginings of trying to make antiheroes out of characters that

are clearly terrible? Right. So wait, this is a dark reimagining. Yeah, but it's a prequel and whatever. And she gets a, there's a really heavy handed rape metaphor because she falls in love with this prince. Yeah, right, skip to the bit that I'm interested in. Are her parents dead?

We're not actually talking about this one. I'll be real right. Okay, right. Okay, good. And she's a woodland creature and she's got wings. Right. And when she's asleep, he violates her by cutting her wings off. No good.

It's horrible. And Shato Coppola is the king. That's him. Is he super wacky, Shato Coppola? No, he's real serious, dead serious. That's weird. He's a dead serious man. Yeah, look, I don't know what they were thinking.

But in the spirit of just make a straight up adaptation, I've talked about this before. This is the only live-action one I've got. Cinderella from last year is an incredible reimagining, retelling, just straight-up great fairy tale story. It's just Cinderella, but it's just done really, really well. It's really well. Hayley Atwell's in it as Cinderella's mother.

Hello. Who dies. Back on board. Nice. Really back on board. And her father also dies., it's Cinderella's mother who dies. Back on board. Nice. Really back on board. And her father also dies, so she's... It's Cinderella. I don't need to explain this story.

You don't need to explain it to me. You know it. Roughly, she has to go to the ball, the glass slipper or whatever. Who plays Cinderella? I can't remember. Lily some... Tomlin. No, no.

I can't remember. What else is she in? I can't remember. She is she in I can't remember She's good She nails it It's got really excellent Choreography and Like set design Oh in the ballroom

Dancing scenes Yeah the ballroom Is incredible And the direct Like the I'm not a I'm not a fashionista Like the way you are

But I think you would enjoy All the sweet Kind of overcoats And what not going on There's a Wow There's a lot of that business Okay

Yeah There's the richest man in Carth from Game of Thrones in it. Oh, yeah. There's also the King of the North, you know, Jon Snow's brother from Game of Thrones. Spoiler alert, he doesn't make it through. But he's the prince, and he's a handsome enough fella to be a prince. And, you know, and Cate Blanchett plays this evil stepmother.

You love Cate Blanchett, right? Do I? Do you? Big Fish? You ever seen... No, Little Fish. Big Fish is shit. Little Fish is the drug one, right? Yeah, it's really good. You don't like Cate Blanchett? I'm not saying I'm against Cate Blanchett. I don't even know where you're going with this, mate. She's in Thor Ragnarok.

That swings the pot a little bit. She's amazing. And also, to cap it all off Helen Helen Bonham Carter plays like a witch yeah

nice but a good witch oh she's a fairy godmother so not really a witch you know and there's like you know

she makes the pumpkin into the thing and whatever whatever oh yeah how's that look looks great horses into bloody

you know they change like mice into horses I'm aware of what I'm aware of what you can transform mice into you can transform mice into horses you can transform them into a man but it's a man in a trench coat it's just a whole bunch of disgusting rats all tied together i think you're thinking of the rat king yeah turtles no that's i'm thinking of a rat i think those are a

myth aren't they yeah i think so yeah do you explain what those are just a big ball of just a big ball of rats that all their tails have been tied together. They've all been combined together with sewer muck. Yeah. Their tails being tied together. And then they just attack en masse. They're like a wave of rats. It wouldn't work.

Well. You'd just be carrying dead rats. It just wouldn't work. Anyway. Also, it's directed by Kenneth Browner. Oh, all right. Is it funny? Yeah, it's not like hilarious. There's a lot of sadness towards the side.

No, there's a little bit, but it's a lot of levity. And also, it's got a good lesson that a mother passes on to her. I love a good lesson. You know what? I'm too old for lessons. I'm not going to learn anything ever again. No, it's something like have courage and be kind, which I think is a really important lesson to give to a kid.

Keep calm and carry on. They always keep calm and carry on t-shirts the whole time. But I think that's really important. Like be brave, but don't be a dick. I think that's important. Yeah. Eddie, how's that? How's Eddie that sound?

I'm going to put it at three. Wait. Two. Two. He's behind Aladdin. Behind Aladdin, yeah. Okay, good. Yeah.

All right. I thought I'd get you with the Kenneth Branagh thing. Yeah, I know, right? He's really good, yeah. All right. Does he make an appearance? No. He doesn't swan about.

No, he doesn't. He could. That's the beauty of Kenneth Branagh. He could come in and swan about, but he didn't. Yeah, that's true. He chose not to. He held back. That's a director revealing his true power, I think.

He's going to make a really obvious cameo appearance where everybody in the cinema points and goes, it's Kenneth Branagh, but then he chose not to. Do you think people know Kenneth Branagh that way now? Yeah, because he was in Harry Potter. Yeah, one of them. Like 15 years ago or whatever it was. No, I think people have held on to that.

Okay. Yeah. I love Kenneth Branagh. Don't get me wrong. I think he should have done the second Thor movie. It's a shame that he didn't well he did this so that's great good on him good on you kenneth brannan i love your work is there any kind of weird uh technology that could be magic no it's all it's just magic all right it's just all straight up magic there's no laser turrets there's very little laser laser turrets now i think about it

yeah yeah any some any kind of quantum tunnelling device for scanning of Cinderella? They don't mention it. That's not to say it's not in the universe. They didn't build it into the law. You know, often they'll cut out concepts. That's true, they will. The design will be there, but they don't explain it. Yeah, exactly.

And also the glass slippers look really nice. It's glass or nanotechnology? It's glass. Okay, right. Cate Blanchett has a reason for being a total bitch. Because she's their wicked stepmother or whatever. Somebody died? The parents died?

Well, yeah. No, probably. But she marries Cinderella's father. And he's never fallen out of love with Hayley Atwell. And she hears him saying, I've never loved out of love with Hayley Atwell. And he, and he, she hears him saying, I've never loved anyone like your mother and whatever, whatever. So she feels that kind of pain of like, well, I wanted to make this guy happy and, you know,

even though I'm kind of terrible. So she kind of wears that. And so that's why she kind of lashes out at Cinderella. I get it. Yeah. It's, it's all connected. That is classic Branagh. Is it?

Yeah. How would he know about Branagh? He was in Harry Potter that time. Yeah, and he made that really terrible Frankenstein movie from the early 90s. Oh, yeah. Remember that one? Not really. Robert De Niro was Frankenstein.

Oh, that's right. Okay. And Helena Bonham Carter was also a Frankenstein. Huh. All right. I got you on this one, though. Really? We'll see.

This last one. Here we go. Treasure Planet. That's a trick. That's another of your trick ones. No. Huh. This is a real one. Huh. Have, Treasure Planet. That's a trick. That's another of your trick ones. No. Huh. This is a real one.

Huh. Have, what is it? Do you think? It's Treasure Island, but it's in space. Yes. It's Muppet Treasure Island, but it's in space. Oh, okay, great. Fantastic.

I'm going to start off with this. Who are the voices in it? I don't know. I can't remember. But, oh, Martin Short's like a C-3PO bumbling robot. Great. Couldn't get Gilbert Gottfried, clearly. No. Also, Miles from Fr Gilbert Gottfried, clearly. No.

Also, Miles from Frasier's in it. Niles. Niles. What did I say? Miles. You said Miles. Yeah, Niles. What's her name?

Lady Kenneth Branagh's in it. Emma Thompson. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Nice. She's Lady Kenneth Branagh, isn't she? Okay. John Resnick.

You familiar with him? I've heard the name. John Resnick. Lead singer of the Goo Goo Dolls does a couple of the tracks on it. Huh. He did Iris. I'm aware. You know who who he is i've got two ears and a heart don't i yeah okay it's it's basically it's treasure island but it's star wars it's fucking star wars but it's cartoon language but it's it's with a kid he's not he's not orphaned but his dad leaves

him because he's a deadbeat. Good. And so he's a vagabond. You want some tragic leaving dad. Okay. Where's his mother? She runs an inn. But he's a bit of a rebel because he's-

Does she die in the inn? No. Does she haunt the inn? No. She's dead. She doesn't die. She lives with the whole thing. And he gets the opportunity to, he meets up with a crew to go and find this.

It's a planet of treasure. It's not an island. It's a planet of treasure. It's not an island. It's a planet. And the way that you get from place to place is... What kind of treasure do you have in space, though? Just all of it. Huh. It's because there was the Blackbeard, I want to say,

whoever the old pirate was who stored it, he took everything that he stole, he put on this inside the core of this planet. So they're going to find this particular thing and there's a map and whatever to get there. But because he's kind of sad that his dad left and he's directionless, like he's a bit of a rebel as a teen,

he's voiced by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Whoa, all right. So he goes on this expedition, but half of the crew, the majority of the crew are Long John Silver's crew posing as regular crewmen to take the treasure do any of the pirates have robot peg legs the main guy long john silver has a as a peg leg and a multi-purpose robot arm hello and it's computer animated so i can do like a whisk and a sword and they're on the same side of his body what do you

mean the the peg leg and the arm? Yep. No, I think they're opposite. Okay, that's good. You okay with that? For purposes of balance. Cool. I appreciate that.

Good stuff. And he sees in Long John Silver, like the kind of father figure he didn't have, and Long John Silver teaches him all these skills about responsibility and whatever. I'm big on lessons today, Mason. You are, yeah. And kind of taking pride in your work and whatnot and tying a good knot. Oh lessons today, Mason. You are, yeah. But, and kind of, you know,

taking pride in your work and whatnot and tying a good knot. Oh yeah, that's important. Yeah, but there comes a moment where they realise they're on opposite sides because they're both after the treasure for their own whatever reason because Long John Silver's,

he's not a great bloke. Or is he? Has he got a heart of gold? So it becomes, they then have, they're kind of pitted against each other. Like this guy that he respected and trusted, and also Long John Silver's feeling this kind of drag

between his pirate crew and this kid who was kind of mentoring. So it kind of comes to a head in that way. And they're on these, they look like old school ships, but they go travel through space. I don't know how it works. There's no bubble around it that you can see. They just scoot through space or whatever and it's fantastic like a ship yeah like a ship a ship scooting about on

the ocean like it's it's really underrated because and it came out at a time when this kind of animation was out it's like early 2000s when everything was cgi yeah the worst kind of cgi animation for everything that's right incredible Crash Dummies was topping the charts. You know it was. Yeah. How does that sound? You know what? Sounds pretty good.

Got it bloody up on Netflix. Watch this, James. Adding it to my list. Yes! That I'll get to in a few years. I knew I shouldn't have opened with this one. That's right.

I knew I'd bloody get you in the end. You got me in the end. Alright, I'll watch that. I'll watch some of that. That was hard work, man. I can tell. Yeah. Yeah, I can tell. Alright, you know what? I'm putting you in the end. You got me in the end. All right. I'll watch that. I'll watch some of that. That was hard work, man. I can tell. Yeah.

Yeah, I can tell. All right. You know what? I'm putting that up the top. Yep. Then I'm going to go Aladdin. Then all the other things that I said. Great.

Good. Yep. Thank God. You know what? I think that's a great one. Because I think that's ones in your wheelhouse. Yep. It's not that old.

It's kind of a forgotten gem. Yeah. And they were nearly going to do a sequel, but it made like no money. Well, they weren't nearly going to do a sequel. They planned to do one. Yeah. I just need a drink. You worked hard there.

I did, didn't I? What have you seen of Disney movies? Like just... I'll check the list. Just Dumbo. Have you seen like Snow White? No. I don't think I've seen them in their entirety.

What about Sword in the Stone? No. What about The Rescuers Down Under? No. I don't think I've seen them in their entirety. What about Sword in the Stone? No. What about The Rescuers Down Under? No. Is that even Disney? Who knows, mate? It probably is. Hang on.

I'm going to go through the list. Google's going to give me a list. Some of these I must have seen. Surely, because you were a kid. Maybe I have seen Snow White. Yeah. Jungle Book, haven't seen it. Jungle Book's kind of overrated.

Cool. Sleeping Beauty, haven't seen it. Fantasia, haven't seen it in full. B kind of overrated. Cool. Sleeping Beauty, haven't seen it. Fantasia, haven't seen it in full. Bambi, dead mum. That's where I stopped. Peter Pan, maybe I've seen? I don't know. Yeah, probably.

This is a long list of things. Yeah. I feel I've seen 101 Dalmatians and I'm against it. Yeah, I'm not a fan. Where'd they all come from? Mm-hmm. Why is the sequel called 102 Dalmatians? They just get one more?

It's stupid. No, they got a whole bunch more, but a lot of them die. Okay. So, not all the dogs in a litter will survive. Yeah, that's true. Song of the South

sounds racist. I don't know that one. 1943's Victory Through Air Power. Have you seen that? No. Was that a Nazi propaganda movie? Maybe. Maybe.

Look, I haven't seen most of these. The Shaggy Dog. Maybe I've seen that. There's the Tim Allen remake. Yep, definitely seen that. Steve. Look, I haven't seen most of these. The Shaggy Dog. Maybe I've seen that. There's the Tim Allen remake. Yep, definitely seen that. Look, I could sit here reading out the names of old Disney movies and considering whether or not I've watched them all day,

and I will. Here we go. 2013, Get a Horse. That can't be right. Is that a question? The Skeleton Dance, 1929. The Ugly Duckling. You know the Skeleton Dance, surely. I'm aware of The Skeleton Dance, 1929. The Ugly Duckling. You know the Skeleton Dance, surely.

I'm aware of the Skeleton Dance. Ferdinand the Bull, 1938. These are shorts, surely. They're not like feature length. Google has given me no more information. Because the first one was Seven Dwarves. Like that was the first like, that blew people's, that was like Avatar. Right.

Like seriously. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because it was a feature-length color animation. It probably had two speakers in the theater. I don't know if it was a full-length thing, but Ferdinand the Bull was based on the story of Ferdinand, which is out of copyright. So that's classic Disney all the way.

Well, you know, Disney are responsible for copyright law lasting longer than it was. Very convenient for you, Disney. They would have lost Mickey Mouse and a bunch of other stuff. I guess that's true they're responsible for extending it which means a lot of characters

so like even comic book characters say like Superman would then enter the public domain which means anybody could make a Superman movie which is kind of great because you might get like a like you get a lot of shit ones

yeah but you get one really good one the cream would rise to the top it's like with Sherlock how many versions of Sherlock are there and there's like a couple that are really really good and everything else is just kind of shit true yeah like that Sherlock Holmes one of the greatest plays of all time mm-hmm God anyway good stuff Mason real good I got ya you got me in the end

alright you're a hard man to please I'm just excited for Ferdinand the Bull there was a sequel it was a home video release You're more of a Bugs Money guy? Yeah, probably Yeah, I loved all those Should have done that, should have convinced you to watch Space Jam Or Looney Tunes back in action Alright Mason, let's do What We Reading

Oh yeah, What We Gonna Read I'm doing the thing What are we reading today? What have you read? I've been watching Blunt Talk. I was off it. Oh, you got back to it? I was off it for a while. Is it really good?

It's good. I'm enjoying it. They renewed that? I didn't know. Yeah, they did. There's a second season. Good. It's on Stan.

Far out. I've got to get Stan. You should get Stan. It's only like nine bucks a month, isn't it? It's ten bucks a month. It's all, yeah. Not made of ten bucks a month, Mason. I know, right?

Yeah, okay. What if I gave you a dollar? Every month? Yeah, and you spent the nine and I added the additional dollar. All right. I'll get all that. Yeah, it's real good.

And I didn't know this at the time, but it's Jonathan Ames who did Bored to Death, which is the series. Bored to Death was the one where Jason Schwartzman, Zach Galifianakis and Ted Danson were like these weird dilettante author types, but they also solved mysteries. That's a weird series that nobody watched for some reason.

I watched it. I mean, like, considering who was in it. Yeah, right. Like, nobody watched it. It's one of those things you assume isn't real. Or so bad. Yeah, right. It's like when you see, like, a movie with, like,

it's Owen Wilson, Zach Galifianakis, and you see it at the video store, if those exist, and you're like, what is this? That's one of them. You assume it's a trick. Each of them was in one scene. Yeah, yeah. Or it was a background extra and they've repackaged it.

Yeah. Not at all, though. And it's from like 2010 or something, isn't it? Bored to death? Yeah, around about that. Anyway, sorry, blunt talk. It's real fun. I saw the first episode where he interviews himself.

I really enjoyed it. And Patrick Stewart's great in it. Patrick Stewart's great in it. It carries on then. It's still... I liked it. It's's okay good yeah yeah i'm way behind the eight ball with that one but it's real real good well actually i actually also got back to something this week uh horace and pete i finished up oh yeah did you finish horace and yeah it gets real dark boy does it it's great like and that's for anyone who doesn't know horace and pete is louis ck's sitcom that he just released on his website for like a couple of bucks an episode.

But inexplicably, it has Alan Alda and Steve Buscemi and Edie Falco and a whole bunch of other people. And also at the very end, the kid from Two and a Half Men. That's right. And Paul Simon does the theme music. Soundtrack, yeah.

Whatever, yeah. Which initially I'm like, oh, maybe he already had a song called and then louis ck named the show after it but no apparently louis ck called up singer-songwriter paul simon and said hey can you come up with a theme song for my sitcom where everybody's real sad but don't tell anybody that you're doing it yeah yeah so i like the way that he i can see why he did it because it's the kind of show where you... How do you pitch this? You know what I mean?

Like, how do you get that made? Especially because I'm sure a lot of these guys did it on the cheap as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, I'm sure Steve Buscemi doesn't need the money or Alan Ola doesn't need the money or even Edie Falco because she came off Nurse Jackie.

That's right. Like 19 seasons or something. But, and it's... It's weird. We've talked about it. It's shot like a play. It's almost like you're watching... Do you know what I mean? Because it's kind of like one room for the majority of it. But, yeah about it. It's shot like a play. It's almost like you're watching, you know,

because it's kind of like one room for the majority of it. But, yeah, go some really dark places and also explore some issues that, I don't know, it's just all through kind of, it's just conversation. It's mostly just conversation. It's not wacky antics and whatever. It's just mental health issues. Anyway, it's really good. Also, you might get real sad if you watch it. So just be aware of that.

Yeah. good also you might get real sad if you watch it so just be aware of that yeah yeah also i also should mention ben davies has finished up uh uh issue six i think it is i think it is of the new weekly planet comic that features oh that's right after you in particular oh boy mr mcgooey's way after you i'll link that below that's very exciting they do fantastic work uh yeah and he also has like he's also throws out the question to like people, what do they want to see in like the next kind of issue? Like I know that's the reason this one got made is because he kind of threw it out there and somebody suggested,

I want to see like a Mr. Magoo Boba Fett assassination attempt. Love it. It's really funny. It's really good. I also read the first issue. This has been out for a while, but I read the first issue of a comic called Archangel by William Gibson, who's a science fiction author.

Yeah. And cyberpunk kind of thing. And it's basically about, it's like a bloody, so it's, there's an alternate 2016 where, or maybe it's an alternate 2016, or maybe it's like next week. Sure. The whole world has been ruined.

It's like a wasteland. And the corrupt, there's a corrupt section of the government who's decided what we'll do is we'll go, we'll use a device called the splitter and we'll go back in time to like a parallel universe 1940s and we'll send in some agents and kind of rebuild that universe to how we want it and kind of like, you know, build our own, build a new paradise.

Does that mean the original 2016 is gone then? Well, we don't know yet. Okay. Did you say it's a book? It's a comic book. Okay. What's it called? You've heard of comic books?

Archangel. Okay. That's real good. When did it start? Like six months ago. So I've got a few issues to build up on. Good stuff. Real good.

It's kind of, yeah, it's kind of, so one team, it's kind of yeah it's kind of so one team it's kind of like it's a bit Terminator 2 and so one team is going back to like exploit this new universe that they've ended up in and one team

is going back to to stop them like time stoppers like time stoppers or is that clock stoppers like clock stoppers exactly good

I hope you got that lettuce theme Mason ready um wait have I I don't know. Yeah, it's not my job. How many plays is that up to?

Because I know you do at least one a week. 4,108. We've done that many episodes. We've done that many episodes, exactly. Time flies when you're grinding away,'t it what do we got okay i like it when some of that that slips in because you you do you make a lot of videos when i when i came over here today to record the episode you were on this couch that i sit on and you had half a blankie over you and a dog on you. And you were like, oh, yeah, you were just waking up from a... You were like, oh, I'm waking up from this beautiful dream where I don't have to edit videos every second I'm awake.

Pretty great. Hey, man, it beats most jobs. I shouldn't complain. That's from Art Vandelay. Oh, good reference. Even though you don't... What? I'm joking.

I know. Even though you don't watch CW shows, are you going to watch the four-night Supergirl Flash Arrow Legends crossover? Hashtag WeeklyPlanetPod. That's how you reach the show. You throw that out there on Twitter with that hashtag, and then we find some. Yeah, I reckon I will. I think I will too, yeah.

Is it four episodes, I guess? Yeah, I guess so. I've got a pretty busy week, but I'll try and squeeze that in between next, because I might be going away next weekend. Oh, you're always going away. Mate, when you're a man of the world, you're there, you know what I mean? You always just go down to the beach, though.

Oh, it's Perth this time. Oh, what? Perth Beach. Why? It's a family thing. It does none of your business. How about that? You have family in Perth?

I don't. Oh, I get it. Yeah. Right, right. Okay. I get it now. All right. Look, I hear Perth Beach is really nice.

Perth's great, actually. If I had to recommend it, I Right, right, okay. I get it now. All right. Look, I hear Perth Beach is really nice. Perth's great, actually. If I had to recommend it, I would, and I am. So you will watch them. Maybe we'll talk about it a little bit next week. Yeah. Which ones are you more excited about? I don't care. Yeah.

I don't keep up with any of these, but it's exciting to see universes collide. I'm excited to see Arrow meet Supergirl for some reason. They already did that, didn't they? Oh, no, they did Flash. They did, yeah. Do you reckon they'll have a race, Arrow meet Supergirl for some reason. They already did that, didn't they? Oh, no, they did Flash. They did, yeah. Do you reckon they'll have a race, Arrow and Supergirl? Yeah, probably. That's what we all want to see, isn't it?

Yeah. Finally. But I think regardless of what you think of the variety of quality across these four shows, I think it'll probably level out quite nicely for this week. I think so. Because I think all the characterizations on the whole for these, from what I'm about a year behind, are on the whole really good.

And Legends of Tomorrow is quite fun from what I was enjoying of it until I stopped watching it. This is from Dan Troy. Jesse Eisenberg would have been great giving the same Lex Luthor performance, but as the Riddler. Thoughts? Hashtag weekly planet pod. I guess so.

I never think of the Riddler as that crazy. Yeah. Like he's clearly got some sort of OCD issue. So do you think maybe the Joker even? Egg Fu? Who are you thinking? Yeah, maybe, I don't know. Maybe like a B-level Joker or Riddler.

Like maybe the trickster. Like a Jared Leto Joker. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, there we go. Yeah, that, I don't know, maybe like a B-level Joker or Riddler. Like maybe the trickster. Like a Jared Leto Joker. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, there we go. Yeah, that's right. Toy Man, somebody like that. Somebody where you go, well, clearly there's a reason he hasn't reached the upper echelon of being a supervillain because he's too unbalanced.

It's not just the hair. Yeah, right? Yeah, fair enough. So not the Riddler. I could see, I would be way more accepting of that version of the Riddler than I am this version of Lex Luthor. I would like a Joseph Gordon-Le not the Riddler. I could see I would be way more accepting of that version of the Riddler than I am this version of Lex Luthor. I would like a Joseph Gordon-Levitt Riddler. I think that would work.

Yeah, he'd be really good. Yeah, he was good in Treasure Planet as well, wasn't he? I've heard about that. I've heard about his amazing performance in that. Man, we are burning through these, Mason. I don't know if you like that. Third one. This is from James.

Just got my first job. This is a personal question, Mason, if you don't mind. That's on my family business at the local pizza shop. Mama mia. Do you guys have any first job stories? Oh. Dog's on the couch coming in for the kill. Look out.

She's bad news, mate. Dangerous dog. Yeah. I don't know. What was my... She threw up in here last night, just so you know. Great. During uh i don't know what was my she threw up in here last night just so you know great during i don't know i my when i did work experience because in australia when you're in what year are you when you do work experience uh i worked in a bookshop and everybody was like

nerd yeah everyone was like nerd no everybody was like no i was like one guy was like what are you what are you like a collins like a big it was was a Collins yeah like a big that doesn't even exist I don't think I exist yeah but I went people like what are you doing and I'm like one guy was like what are you doing and I'm like I'm just gonna work at the bookshop and he's like huh retail and I'm like that's that's hurts my feelings who said that ah some guy it's work experience not like a real doesn't count I did I did mine probably high-flying businessman now I bet he is is. Let's find him and kill him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why did my work experience at a supermarket?

Not with the intention of working in a supermarket. I did it because I heard they paid $20 a day. I'm like, well, if I'm going to do it, I want some money for it. As opposed to if you go to like, I'm going to work at an office or follow a police officer. They give you nothing. So I'm like, I'll just,'ll just at least get some money for it. And I never looked back, Mason. I took that money and I invested in podcasting.

Now you own a supermarket. Correct. But one of my first jobs. It's stocked with podcasts. Yes. One of my first jobs was actually a bookstore. Oh, yeah. It was a school bookstore.

Yep. You probably know it. I probably won't put that in. It's fine. Yeah. What are they going to do, sue you no i did no it's fine did you steal things i didn't steal anything actually that's i'm not that guy but uh one time i stayed at the back of this and i just read leonard nemois biography what of that bookstore yeah when were you there oh no at the collins oh the collins right well that's what because I used to work there over the summer. So I'd work there full time, like during school and then a little bit into uni.

So like, you know, I'd catch the train and I'd slog away at this job. And it wasn't like talking to customers and selling books. It was like at the back, 15 pallets of school books would roll in and then you'd have to sort them in the sun. You know what I mean? And so what my thing that I enjoyed the most about that was I built a fort out the back that just looked like a wall. It was in one of the rooms. It was just like a wall of boxes.

But there was a little doorway to the side that you couldn't see if you looked in the room. And in there was a throne that I'd made. And I used to sit there and just eat icy poles when I needed a break. I'm like, man, it's hard work doing whatever this job is. Yeah, man. So, yeah, that was the job that i did that i kind of loved and hated yeah because i like the people and i remember the time you know when you got the boss i'm like man what's this guy's problem well he's such a square because he's running a business he's a man running a

business and he has to deal with teenagers but sometimes he is kind of a square he was all right one time he caught me lying on the floor and the reason that happened because you remember stew you know stew yeah uh he he left to the room and i thought he left to the room he left to the room The reason that happened because you remember Stu? You know Stu. Yeah, I know Stu. He left the room and I thought... He left the room? He left the room. Was this in the pizza parlor? It was. And I was climbing up on the shelf and he's like,

wouldn't it be funny if you fell and you died? And I'm like, that would be funny. And he left and then I heard him coming back and I'm like, I'll lie on the floor and pretend I'm dead. And then the boss walked in and I'm lying on the floor. And he goes, oh, James, don't get up. And I'm like, oh, no. And then he just left. and I'm lying on the floor and he goes oh James don't get up and I'm like ah

and then he just left so I didn't have a chance to explain yeah I know he still thinks you're a shiftless layabout he definitely does yeah he definitely does

but good on him he's a good bloke I used to work at a I used to work at an op shop and one of the rules of the op shop was like a thrift store yeah yeah

kind of thing and one of the rules but a big one it's like Kmart for a bloody thrift store I used to work at one and one of the rules but a big one it's like came out and one of the rules was that uh you couldn't uh you couldn't if you bought a book or a cd or a dvd or something you couldn't return it this was one of the rules for a while because i'd like scratch it or people would just copy the cd or read the book and they just bring it back and swap it for another one right and then one day one day a woman comes in and she's got like she's

got a huge stack of cookbooks she's got like a huge she's bought there yeah and she's like i want to return these cookbooks and the cookbooks are the worst because what people would do is they would just buy them rip out the recipes they wanted and then just bring the rest of the books back what is wrong with me i know right but then one time so this woman comes in and she's like i'm gonna return all these cookbooks and i'm like um i'm sorry, the policy is that we can't exchange any, like I'd like to help, we can't exchange any books that you buy.

And she's like, oh, well, it'd be bloody nice, straight away. She's like, on the attack, I mean, well,

it'd be bloody nice if there was some sort of sign that said that. And I'm like, if you look over at the book section, there's a sign, there's a sign on every shelf that says that.

In fact, in the cookbook section, there's two signs that say you can't return. And she like well like straight away because i don't they just keep they're still in still in fight mode well that doesn't seem particularly fair for people who can't read and i'm like and it's very rare in retail that you get that you get like a win and i'm like so i really saved it and i'm like we we find, generally speaking, that our customers who purchase books can read. And then you paused for applause.

Yeah, I did, yeah. Everyone applauded. You know those, everybody's got a fake story? You know those people who have fake stories and they all end with, and then everyone applauded. No, they didn't. Nobody applauded. There's so few wins in a job like that.

Retail, yeah. So good luck good luck pizza pal yeah you're gonna be great get out there because I remember

when you used to work there you used to have like a story every time I'd see you but then as it went on it kind of petered off because I think you just got used to it you're like yeah

naked guy came in in a shopping trolley covered in grease or whatever and it would just be yeah you just kind of got used to it yeah

good stuff oh yeah that's right one time a guy I saw a trail of blood from the pub to my place of business. There was a pub like diagonal across the road, wasn't there? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And what was it? I think a guy just came in asking for bandages and they were like, we don't have any.

And he was like, oh, okay. And then the blood just tracked all its way out the other door. And then stopped at a gutter. Yeah, I don't know what happened to that guy. like, okay. And then the blood just tracked all its way out the other door. And then stopped at a gutter. Yeah, I don't know what happened to that guy. Yeah, great. Anyway, maybe we'll tell more tales.
