official podcast of ComicBookMovie.com, where we talk movies, comics, TV shows. My name is James, also known as Mr. Sunday. With me is always my co-host, Nick Mason. I ran out of breath. I thought I could do it, but I couldn't. Go on. I was going to say, first of all, thank you.

Welcome also to the show. Thanks. We've been the official podcast of comicbookmovie.com for a while. Yeah. Have there been any other challenges to the throne? Not to my knowledge. By throne, I mean like rickety old rocking chair. I don't think anybody associated with that site knows that I do this.

I genuinely think that. Good. The guy runs it, Nate. I haven't spoken to him in maybe two years. Oh, great. Guys,

listeners, if you know Nate, don't tell, don't say, hey, hey, Nate, Nate,

mate, I've really been enjoying the official podcast of comicmovie.com because he might realize we're supposed to be gone several years ago. So if you could not do that,

that would be great. Please don't tell him, yeah. Get, let's, you got a loot crate to open? Yes, I cracked it open already. You did?

Should we do the first bit of news? Tell me a bit of news and then I'll rifle through this. Okay, so Star Wars Celebration is next week. Yes. I'm very excited. We're going to be getting

the last Jedi trailer, it seems. Bunch of new video game stuff, maybe an announcement of an Obi-Wan spin-off. We've sent an official correspondence over to Star Wars Celebration. By that I mean... At his own expense yes i was uh yep it's it's steel saunders of steel wars

who was gonna go there anyway that's right so we're gonna attempt to do some sort of skype situation yeah just like a short thing because he's also doing his own daily stuff that you should anyway we'll talk about next week that's fine but um i't gonna say yeah so there's also going to be like a 40th anniversary uh panel where it's it's very heavily rumored i can't say where i got this from that george lucas and harrison ford are going to be on it as well as everybody who's still alive pretty much um harris um what is it billy d williams and mark hamill and uh even dennis lawson's coming back what you know he is wait he's wedge there we go right and he's also ewan mcgregor's ewan mcgregor's uncle there we go yeah but he hates star wars like for years he's

been like fuck all of this and he said specifically to ewan mcgregor don't do don't do star wars yeah because it will ruin your career uh- and he's and what's he done since he's been in England no I meant Ewan McGregor oh well he's a lot of things really he's fairly successful he's very successful

do you think he would have been more successful without Star Wars no yeah I think he's I feel Ewan McGregor is quite bulletproof

yeah I don't think anything he walked away from the prequels pretty well didn't he yeah that's true yeah he would have had to do

something pretty spectacularly bad yeah I meanels pretty well, didn't he? Yeah, that's true. He would have had to do something pretty spectacularly bad. Yeah. I mean, he did. And it didn't work. So the guy's definitely bulletproof. I thought you meant in his personal life. Maybe. Yeah.

I love him. I think he's great. Yeah. Even in the things I don't like, he's good in, generally. So yeah, we'll talk about more of that next week. But there is one bit of Star Wars news from, from this week. What if Dennis Lawson's just there to ruin things? Oh, I would love that.

Maybe that's it. Maybe he's like. His role is your role in this podcast. Yeah. To derail. Yeah. And he's like, Star Wars sucks. Nerds.

Nerds. You've wasted your lives. Ha ha ha ha. I think he might show up in another movie now. Really? I think, I think he's the kind of guy, I think it's an ego thing. Uh-huh. Like, you know, that got his kind of big break and then he didn't become like a superstar.

Like, he's big in, like you'd say, if your parents watch any crime dramas, he's probably in it. Oh, right. Like at ABC. He's been in The Bill? Yeah, like a mid, not Midsummer Murders, but like an equivalent to that kind of thing. Yeah, yeah. So he's not nobody, but. Wait, is he in a starring role or is he?

Yeah, no, he is. Yeah. He's, he's, and he looks good. Like,

is he a lovable tramp? Like in that, like in heartbeat, green grass. Yeah. The lovable tramp is always engaging in schemes. Is he that guy? He's always trying to steal a chicken coop or something.

Yeah. Yeah. Sure. No, he's more of a, he's more of like, I'm running this team. If there's a Midsommar murder,

I'm in charge. I get you right, right. But I think like if Rian Johnson or whatever sat him down and be like, hey, we love your work and whatever. Why don't you come back and do a Star Wars?

Because he was asked back for episode three to be Captain Antilles, who's not even related to which Antilles. Oh, right. But he's the former owner of C-3PO before.

Wait, how is he not related? Because people can have different last names. How many Nick Masons are there in the world? even related to Weed Chantilly. Oh, right. But he's the former owner of C3PO before Anatoly Dib. Wait, how is he not related? Because people can have different last names. How many Nick Masons are there in the world? We know of two. One's way more famous than you and richer. Yeah. And more respected, probably.

All right. All right. I thought that was going to stop at some point. No, I had more. You're just going to keep adding more, isn't it? Also, he's a better dancer than you. Oh, mate, come on. All right. Also, he's's got that car he's got that fast supercar all right come on mate also i forgot to mention uh hayden christensen's coming oh which also makes people think that he's going to show up as a

ghost or in a flashback or or whatever so he hasn't been around hasn't done one in like 10 12 years maybe there's some maybe instead of they're in like 10, 12 years. Maybe there's some, maybe instead of they're giving them new roles in the new films, there's going to be some sort of shame pit at Star Wars Celebration. And they throw in Dennis Lawson, they throw in Hayden Christensen,

they throw in the guy who's- Armour Best. Armour Best. They throw in the guy who played the body of Darth Vader, David Prowse. They throw him in there. Happy 40 years, idiots. And you pay a hundred bucks

and you can get a photo and an autograph with Mark Hamill and you get to throw like some, some rotten fruit into the shame pit. Or lower a rope ladder, but it's not quite low enough that they could get out. Nice.

Very good. All right. Can I crack my bloody loot crate? All right. What's the first item? I'm cracking the bloody loot crate. I'm excited. Enough of your dithering.

Enough of your dithering about autographs and shame pits. All your nonsense. Stop it. Started out very strong. Yeah. We have a die-cast Logan Wolverine from the film Logan. Oh, very good. From the film Logan.

Yeah. Let's say metals what? Metals die-cast. Oh, metals and die-cast. He's very solid, this guy. Yeah. Perhaps not adamantium, but enough that I could throw it from a car and do some damage. Yeah, enough that you could shatter a car windscreen, a passing car.

Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, interesting. Well, we've got a plan for this afternoon, don't we? And we have two boxes, which means we can have two shots at it. There might be a different variation. You might have a different variation. There's two variations. There's three variations.

There's young Wolverine, which is the one I've got. There's old Wolverine. And there's one I've got. There's old Wolverine and there's just Wolverine and he's completely adamantium for some reason. So he's dead? He's like covered in aniridia? Yeah, dead Wolverine.

That's the variant you want, I feel. Very good, I feel so, yeah. Oh, you can also get, oh, there's many options. Like that's what you get in this one, but you can also get

yellow suit Wolverine. Yes, very good. But you can also get my fave brown suit Wolverine. Yes. Why is that our favourite? Brown Wolverine. I don't know.

Yeah, right? The dullest of them all. Yeah, right. I don't know. I like it. Because he's earthy. Yeah, that's sure. It's probably because he's earthy.

It's more relatable. Yeah. I did have actually a bit of actual Star Wars news instead of the dithering in the pit tour. Oh, yes. They spoke to Carrie Fisher's brother and apparently she's going to appear in episode nine. Larry Fisher. Larry Fisher. I don't know. Is that nine Larry Fisher I don't know is that his name I don't know okay but um they said he said yeah you can't

really take her out of it take um her out of it and she's as much a part of it as anyone else you know that you feel her presence even went like when Obi-Wan was cut down still like a yeah kind of uh you know the legacy is there instead so we're not going to be getting her in CGI but I'd imagine they'll take existing footage and I'm not sure

how they're going to work it because they've never done a flashback in a Star Wars film maybe no they did the force back from

episode seven okay right that's what they called it those are my words those are your words no I don't like it I mean it sounds something dumb like I would say yeah but Seven. Okay, right. That's what they called it. Those are my words. Those are your words, basically. No, no.

I don't like it. I mean, it sounds something dumb like I would say. Yeah. No, but I'd imagine they'll just... You know like they did with Philip Seymour Hoffman and they took some of his scenes from Hunger Games 7.1 and put it in 7.2 or whatever. So I'd imagine it'd be that kind of situation. Yeah.

But I still don't know how they... Like, are they going to kill her off? I don't know how you're going to... I don't know, yeah. Because she's such be that kind of situation. Yeah. But I still don't know how they, like, are they going to kill her off? I don't know how you're going to. I don't know, yeah. Because she's such an integral part of it. You can't just kind of have her just walk off screen and not appear again. Yeah, you can't have her be like, well, there's actually more important things happening on the other side of the galaxy, so I'll go and do that. That's right.

Because there isn't. There's not, I can't imagine there would be. But like, because her son's a monster. Her, you know, husband was murdered she's luke's sister she could potentially be a jedi but i mean probably not but you know what i mean she's got the force you can't you need to do something you can't just kind of had it like a peter out so i don't know how they're going to handle it but you know good luck not my problem uh the inhumans have As a synopsis Great

After the royal family Of Inhumans is splintered By a military coup They barely escape to Hawaii Where they're surprising Yamaha The Inhumans go tropical Where their surprising interactions

With the lush world And humanity around them Prove to not only save them But Earth itself Debuts Friday September 1st in IMAX 3D. I think just IMAX 3D. Just IMAX. Yeah.

Excited for that? Wait, is this live action or animated? Live action. Remember we saw the dog on set. That's right. We absolutely did. Dog gone set, Mason. Yeah, that's right.

Yeah. Ah. Excited? Is this just an excuse to film some scenes in Hawaii? Yeah, it sounds like it. Yeah. Yeah, great. Yeah, absolutely.

Nice. Let's make like Magnum PI. Is that in Hawaii? I don't know. Yes, it is. I never watched it sounds like it. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Nice. It's like Magnum PI. Is that in Hawaii? I don't know. I never watched it. Very good. Like Hawaii Five-0. Yep.

That's also Hawaii, isn't it? Yeah, but it's probably filmed in Toronto or something. That's true, yeah. If the one you think it would be, it wouldn't be. Right. Yeah, yeah. It's like the Adam Sandler films Grown Ups and Grown Ups 2. Ah, yes.

Where he's just like, hey, all my friends, you want to have a holiday somewhere? Let's go. Chris Rock, do you want to come to Hawaii with me? I'll give you $20 million. It's tough, but I'll do it. Yeah.

Apparently nicest guy in Hollywood, Adam Sandler. That's what they say. He just makes the worst movies. But you know what? If someone was going

to give me $80 million to hang out with my friends, I'd just split it with them and do whatever. I'd piss it away. And also like, I don't have to see his movies and I don't. So whatever. Enough people away. And also, like, I don't have to see his movies and I don't.

So, whatever. Enough people do. But also, like, you know, we talk about, like, TV shows that are bad, like, super generic or whatever, or movies. I'm always like, my feeling's always like, if you were the star of that and you walked away, everybody else loses their jobs. That's exactly right, yeah. That's why Supernatural's still going. Yeah. Which I love. Yeah, it's still going. That's why Supernatural's still going. Yeah. Which I love.

Yeah, it's still going. I'm two seasons behind. Insane. Yeah. What about else we got here? What I got here. What do you got here? I got here Predator bottle opener.

Look at that. That's good. Look at that, right? That's another thing of heft we could maybe peg at a car. Exactly. Oh, this is going to be great. What's the theme? Primal.

Primal, okay. Yeah, that makes sense. Good. Very good so good did you see i know i saw once i met a guy who had a bottle opener in the bottom of his shoe and i'm like that's so cool but now i'm like what do you need a bottle opener in your shoe how's your life going wait so so was it built into the heel it's built into the heel yeah you gotta wear those every day yeah it's weird i weird. I don't like it. Yeah. What about bottle opener belt buckle? I used to think cool. Yep.

But I've also found I can open a bottle without one now. Yeah, all right. You're a cool guy now. I'm a cool guy. I just with my eye socket. Yeah, of course. You know those people who do it with their teeth? Ah.

Because you can, I wouldn't, I'd never do it. That's a trick though, right? No, but it's not pressure, it's leverage. Do you know what I mean? So yeah, I would never do it. Four's a trick though, right? It's not pressure, it's leverage. Do you know what I mean? So yeah, I would never do it. Four of my teeth would fly out. You've only seen the success stories. Oh yeah, absolutely.

Yeah, definitely. Whatever you do, don't go on YouTube and look up epic bottle open with teeth fail because that will not be pleasant at all. Yeah. The guy who plays Daredevil, Charlie Cox. Yeah. He said that Daredevil season three starts filming this year.

So it's underway. Nice. Very good. Maybe they'll make it eight. Maybe they'll make it eight. Or Defenders. Is eight, right? Apparently.

Well, no, it is. And that's going to debut August 18th, I think. Did you see that teaser? I did. the teeny little teaser yeah in the elevator it's good seeing them together agreed yeah

it's weird that Daredevil is wearing a variation of Iron Fist costume and Iron Fist is still not wearing a costume at all but yeah I like that Daredevil was clearly at some sort of

ah like a gala yeah like no he looks he looks more like he was at some sort of casual meeting

right yeah because he's wearing a shirt and tie and like a like an overcoat or whatever and so he just ties his thing around yeah i guess because he's the only one of them who has an identity secret identity that's true yeah yeah so he needs the mask no man i hope it's good like i i think it'll be good right yeah yeah i hope so too it's only eight so it'll be good to see them come together as well exactly just like that Justice League trailer. Yeah, when they came together.

What else we got here? Michael Bay, there was a Transformers featurette. Now, first of all, I think at some point this week, Michael Bay said something to the effect of, there's going to be 14 more Transformers movies. Is that new news or old news? I don't know if we had that exact number, but that being said, this is his last one.

Okay, right. Does that mean he's plotted out a 14 movie arc or something? I don't think he has. I think the studio has. That being said, I'm sure if you went to the people behind Marvel and Star Wars and whatever, I bet there's at least kind of 14 ideas. Sure, right.

Not that we're going to see 14, but... Transformers in hawaii filmed in toronto uh i mean if they keep making money we'll eventually get another 14 but yeah i just think it's more of a these are some these are some potential ideas that we that's true that we kind of have anyway this featurette where he talks about the benefits and the and the revolutionary idea of stacking two imax cameras on top of each other and filming in 3D. He wants to save the film-going experience. Yeah, he wants to preserve the film-going experience

but save 3D. Great. Thanks, Prick. He can't stop saying winning things. No, he can't, yeah. Did you like his little setup in his house? He's got his editors and his five editors. My favourite moment in that, he's like,

hey guys, I got my home editing suite here. So many monitors. So many monitors and I can talk with my other editors and they're on a screen and he goes, hey guys. And they're like, hey. And he's like, bye. Then he switches the monitor off. That's my favorite part, I think.

That's the power he wields. That's right, yeah. I he switches the monitor off. It's my favorite part, I think. That's the power he wields. That's right, yeah. Yeah. I imagine some nights, like late at night, he's watching them just feverishly editing something before it comes out, you know. They're on this deadline and he clicks it on. He's like, hey guys, you're fired.

And they're like, we're what? And he's like, just kidding, bye, click. Oh, what a legend. Anyway, the thing with 3D is, Mason, stop, just stop doing it. Right? It didn't work when they tried it first in the 50s.

Yeah. And it's not going to work now. Yeah, I just... It's unpleasant. And the other thing is, when I'm watching a 2D movie, I'm not like, look at this flat image.

Look at this. Look at this gut. Like, your brain perceives it as at this flat image. Look at this. Look at this gut. Your brain perceives it as 3D. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? Exactly. It's ridiculous. We've moved somewhat beyond being afraid when a train comes at us.

Yes. Hey, dog, stop bumping the microphone stand. She's bumping your microphone stand. She has been, but I noticed earlier. Yeah. Didn't want to say anything. No, I can hear it through the headphones now. Dog.

Hey. Come here. Dog. She hasn't been for a walk because it's raining. Oh, yeah. That has been, but I noticed earlier. Yeah. Didn't want to say anything. No, I can hear it through the headphones now. Dog. Hey. Come on in. Dog. She hasn't been for a walk because it's raining. Oh, yeah. That'll do it. This bloody rain, mate. What are you going to do?

If you don't like the weather, though, just bloody wait five minutes. Wait five minutes in Melbourne. Yeah, she's moved. It's all right. Okay, good. Yeah, nice. My bloody kid's going off. Yeah.

It's a zoo in here, mate. Right? Yeah. It's like your bloody border zoo. Anyway. doing it again dog hey get up on the couch the cleason space you'll jump up yeah yeah oh okay yeah good point yeah you've got too many loot crates mason so much that's the thing come on dog get up here man your life our lives was infinitely easier when you didn't have a dog and a family in continuity. When they were purely theoretical,

this was so much easier, but now they're real. But to be fair though, it was harder for me because I'd have to edit around it or whatever. That's true. But now I'm just like, whatever. Yeah. It's out there, isn't it?

Yeah. This is real nice and if you don't like real life, get out of my face. And if you don't like the weather, you can just wait five minutes. Just wait five minutes in Melbourne. I'm letting you know.

Anyway, is there any part of you who... I tried to move the dog. She attacked me. Is there any part of you that's looking forward to Transformers, the last one of the next four days? I wish you could just pay... I would pay five bucks more for a brisk version. Okay, sure.

Where they cut out most of the plot. Yep. And they cut down the battle sequences to the most spectacular things. They gave me the transformation effects reel. They cut the battle down to like Bumblebee shows up as a car and he turns into Bumblebee

and I'm like, oh, it looks pretty good again. Yeah, they've done it. I look at the new version of Optimus Prime and then I see what the Decepticons are turning into this time. Just jagged jets. Jagged jets. Jagged tanks.

Jagged scorpions. Sometimes a police car. Sometimes a police car with a jagged face, yeah. And then they cut out the literally 40 minutes of tumbling through the air while shooting, and there's particles flying. He was so proud. Michael Bay in that clip, he was so proud of the fact that he's properly 3D filmed billions of particles. What he says is billions.

Didn't seem like billions. No, yeah. More like millions. More than he is. Yeah, look. You know what? He does go above and beyond, but he just does it for stuff I don't care about.

So good on him, man. Everybody's got a passion. Next thing. Very good. I don't have anything else. I'm not going to really elaborate on him, man. Everybody's got a passion. Next thing. Very good. I don't have anything else. Yeah. I'm not going to really elaborate on this, but there's a bunch of Spider-Man news stories

from the week from Spider-Man Homecoming. Oh, yes. Like set visits where they just like tell you really specific things that you probably don't want to know. Well, I was going to say, are they spoilerific? But apparently they're spoilerific. Like some of the things are like, this is all the battles that the Vulture gets his tech from.

So it's like the T'Challa invasion, whatever. I didn't read it because I didn't want to know because I already feel like I know too much. Same. And they also tell you exactly how many scenes Iron Man is in, which again, I don't want to know. But it's probably like the handful I'd imagine. Or 20.

Who knows? I mean, they know. It's in the article handful i'd imagine or 20 who knows i mean they know it's in the show yeah everybody who read that knows yeah but i find that with with most movies though when it when they when they get closer and closer there's so much information kind of like i've stopped watching guardians of the galaxy tv spots and stuff because i'm like i don't want to know the gags i want to be surprised because they love putting the gags in the tv that's true they do but i want to see the gags in the how are you going to do with one of your famous trailer breakdowns well i'm done i do like two maybe three and then i stop okay yeah that's a rule you've imposed on yourself correct yeah well like i said before like when you get to the third or fourth trailer what do you say right you know what i mean it's gonna it's done let somebody else who uses red arrows do it there's there's plenty of them out there you know now yeah there's a lot of people fighting that

battle and good on them so yeah sure do you think you're gonna move on to something else yeah possibly i think one day you'll have you'll have seen all the things you've missed and you're like i want to do something else okay yeah i mean i i enjoy doing them depending on what i only really do it for stuff that i care about now like when if there's like a Transformers trailer or The Mummy, which we're talking about, which I am interested in, but like what am I doing with that? You know what I mean? So that's the kind of way I see it.

You could point out famous literary allusions because there'd probably be some literary allusions. That's true. There's probably an Edgar Allan Poe literary allusion in that trailer somewhere. I don't know anything about literary allusions. I don't have to really read into it. I like just going into my brain and being like,

what's there? What do I got? She into my brain and being like, what's there? What do I got? She's got two sets of eyes, doesn't she? What's going on there? Is that a literary illusion? No. Did you ever see

the Edgar Allan Poe movie with John Cusack? Like the, it was called The Raven or something? No, but he was, was he a vampire hunter? No, it was his last days but he got,

he was embroiled in real life supernatural events if you can believe that oh he would he would spin a tail but then that tail may be spun back on him like i've seen it i cannot remember anything so wait i'm still confused so was it based on true life events no well they know he died suddenly probably because he drank himself to death i thought you're gonna say they know he died but beyond that who knows yeah so it's his final days and kind of like him making amends and being a good dude and whatever. I was under the impression that was like an Abraham Lincoln vampire hunter situation. There's a little bit of that in it, but I think it's loose, very, very loosely, very, very loosely based off of his real life.

Right. Right. So this is, is it kind of like, well, he had two days unaccounted for, so we're going to assume he was a spy for those two days? Yeah, something like that. Exactly. I love it.

So good on him. You're a John Cusack fan? Yeah. I watched Con Air the other day for the first time in many years. Why? I don't know.

You know, it's fun. So was it on Netflix or something? It was on Netflix. You didn't physically have to get a DVD? Yeah, I went to the blockbuster. Oh, yeah.

The one left in Victoria. Yes. In Ararat. Is there really one? Probably. Yeah. Don't you have a friend who works at one? No.

I'm sure you've mentioned that on this show. You've got a friend who works at one. Look, I've got a friend who's cursed to work at one. They're dead. They're undead and they work at the Phantom blockbuster. That must be what I'm thinking of. No, if I've had that conversation with you, that was five or six years ago. Very good.

Very good. Very good. Anyway, The Raven, if that's what it's called. Get out there and get to your blockbuster. Should we talk about the Mummy trailer then? Yeah, why not? Let's do it. Looked pretty good.

But again, it's got a bit of Spider-Man Homecoming syndrome where I think every action beat is in that trailer. Did you enjoy the big sand face? The return of the big sand face? It wasn't as impressive as I remember the one being from the original The Mummy. Do you think that original one is impressive? Like, do you think it would be if you went back? No. You'd be like,

there's sand faces. Look at all those particles. Imagine in 3D. Oh my god, maybe in 3D. That was a big selling point of that movie, wasn't it? The big sand face. Do you remember it was in all the trailers? Yes, I do, yeah. Yeah, yeah. In the second one, there was a big water point of that movie, wasn't it? The big sand face. Do you remember it was in all the trailers? Yes, I do, yeah. Yeah, yeah. In the second one, there was a big water face, if you remember correctly.

Wow, going back to the well. Yeah. Literally in this case. You know what we've got to do? Before Tom Cruise's The Mummy comes out, we've got to watch The Mummy trilogy and do an episode on it. I want to watch the trilogy. Have you seen them all?

Have you seen the third one? I don't think I've seen the third one. There's yetis playing football. Okay, I'm back in. Wait, what kind of football? American football. Oh, I'm back in. So if it was Australian rules, you wouldn't... No, I'd still be in for that, I think.

Still be in for that? Yeah. Okay, great. Good. Anyway, so the mummy. So you reckon all the action beats are like the plane crash. Yes. Maybe running through a forest.

Underwater mummies. What do you think... What wacky thing do you think tom cruise insisted on doing himself do you think it was the plane crash i've got to be in a crash a crashing plane guys listen if i'm coming back to life i want you to stop my heart for 15 seconds yeah maybe he's done the plane thing though hasn't yeah that's true it's probably a jump off a thing probably i don't i don't know yeah it's probably a probably a jump off the collapsing building we see at the start. That's probably it, yeah. What's interesting is, so is he military?

What's his role? It's quite deliberately vague, isn't it? And we don't really know who he is. I think he's got a name. You had a theory, didn't you? Well, yeah, I think it's a pretty popular theory that he's a Van Helsing. Maybe not the Van Helsing. And that's why Russell Crowe knows him because he's like,

I used to work with your grandfather the real Van Helsing that looks exactly the same as you yeah the Hugh Jackman version but with a frilly collar yeah that's right yeah I guess

and that gives him scope to go to the next franchise and fight Dracula or whatever yeah or whatever exactly I hope that's the

post credit sequence I'm back it's me Russell Crowe again the greatest actor in the world anyway you've proven yourself worthy here by fighting this mummy anyway after this you're gonna fight a dracula or whatever

so he's the nick fury i guess yeah the uh the russell crowe you know he's a kind of like you know there's supernatural things but that means do you think ah see that's my concern is this becomes another franchise of things where you don't really get a full movie. Yeah. You get two thirds of a movie and one third preparing you for the next movie. Yeah, I hope not. Just give us a movie, please. Just give us a movie. And I guess I should be more mad about that for Marvel,

but I'm invested in... Like, I've always loved all the characters. Sure, yeah. So I guess I'm like, I'm in fairly safe hands here. But any other franchise, I'm like, I don't care about the mummy or a Dracula. Or a creature from other Black Lagoon. Oh, yeah, they're doing that one as well, aren't like, I don't care about the mummy or a Dracula. Or a Dracula.

Or a creature from the Black Lagoon. Oh, yeah, they're doing that one as well, aren't they? Maybe, I don't know. How are they going to do that? Are they going to make a sexy creature from the Black Lagoon? Oh, like a sexy... What if they're all sexy lady ones now? That's very possible.

You notice in this trailer, they're like... A sexy vampire? Well, I never. Yeah. There's been a lot of that. Yeah. Have you noticed in this trailer, they're like, just going to try and bring the world back to how she liked it or whatever.

Sand. Why? It's real nice. Leave it alone. Surely that was a very unpleasant environment to live in. Yeah. If you lived back then. But she was rich.

She could be rich now. That's true. Just make some wise investments. Yeah. Yeah. In sand. In sand. She could start a sandbag company.

She could. You know what? I kind of like how it's a little bit scarier than, it's not just like a retread of the Brendan Fraser ones. That's true. I don't understand why people are like, bring him back. Like, that's done. Like, it died.

Like, it's not just, it's not like, it finished in the worst kind of way where it petered out. Do you know what I mean? Yep. Like, it's not like he did one really good one, and then there wasn't any more petered out do you know what i mean yeah it's not like he did one really good one and then we there wasn't any more that's true you know what i mean yeah so it had its eventual decline it's inevitable decline inevitable in a way yeah so there's another theory that because there was a there was a tv spot where tom cruise has the two mummy eyes oh there's so many the mummy theories. So then they're like, well, is he the mummy also?

Probably not. No, I think she's brought him back. Yeah. I think we've talked about this. She's brought him back to be like, you'll serve me or whatever. And I reckon that's like a one-shot thing. Yeah, agreed. And then when he fights the Dracula, the Dracula will be like,

now you'll serve me. And he'll be like, not again. I don't think so, the Dracula. I'm fighting currently or whatever. No. And then the preacher of the Black Lagoon's like, I brought you back with Lagoon Muck. It's what I can do, I guess.

What are my powers? They're very vague. What are the powers? I don't think he has any. I think he's just a... Be a monster? He's just a muck man monster. He lives in a lagoon.

He's all gross. He's got Lagoon Muck monster. He's just a muck man monster. He lives in a lagoon. He's all gross. He's got lagoon muck in all his crevices. You'd have to... Do you think that would be... You know, like, Russell Crowe's Mr. Hyde is a good guy. Yes. Do you think the Black Lagoon monster would be, like, an Abe Sapien kind of good guy? You know, like a swamp thingy?

Oh, yeah, maybe, yeah. Who's a good guy in this? I'm not even sure, if I'm honest. Wait, so is russell crowe mr hyde yeah as in dr jekyll and mr hyde no mason the yeah yes okay right cool yeah oh but that means mr hyde's a good guy of sorts well half of it does that mean that at some point he'll transform back into dr jekyll who's a scrawnier version of russell crowe like maybe he turns back into young russell crowe maybe maybe he turns virtuosity yeah maybe he turns maybe he turns back into russell rock his his pop his pop

superstar if anybody hasn't seen if anybody's not aware of russell russell rock you should google that absolutely you should ah when he attempted to be a pop superstar back in the day. Was it early 90s? Late 80s, probably. I reckon he felt... I reckon he... It was before Romper Stomper. Yeah. Oh, absolutely.

Yeah, yeah. I think he was following in the footsteps of Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan. Because he was on Neighbours, wasn't he? Was he? Briefly? I think he was. They all are. Pick an Australian actor and they'll probably audit.

Except Hugh Jackman. Yeah. Who decided not to do it. Yeah. Did we talk about that clip that's on the internet go on it's a video clip on the internet where a man is interviewing hugh jackman and then hugh jackman realizes that the guy who's who he is interviewing him he taught in pe he was a pe teacher have you seen that no i haven't great wait so the the guy who was interviewing him hugh jackman taught taught so hugh jackman was a PE teacher? Have you seen that clip? No, I haven't. It's great. Wait, so the guy who was interviewing him, Hugh Jackman, taught. So Hugh Jackman was a teacher.

Apparently. I did not know that. Look, I thought he was a song and dance man. Yeah. I thought he was a paperback hero. Yes, he was. I thought he was in stomp, probably. He wasn't in stomp.

But he looks like, young Hugh Jackman looks like a man who'd be in stomp. He could definitely be in stomp, yeah. Yeah, I don't disagree. Anyway, that's a good clip. That's a great clip. So did Hugh Jackman looks like a man who'd be in stop. Yeah, I don't disagree. Anyway, that's a good clip. That's a great clip. So did Hugh Jackman remember him? Yeah. He's a good bloke.

Yeah, right? He could have forgotten all the little guys. I don't remember any of my students at all. I'd shove one aside in a heartbeat. Very good. In an emergency situation or just to get... No, no, no, just to be clear, no. Just to get them out of the way.

Even if they weren't particularly in the way, you'd get in their way and then shove them. That's right. Hey, I have more Loot Crate stuff. All right, what's next? We kind of got carried away with muck. Well, we're not sure how long this one's going to go for because only one of us has seen the movie we're going to talk about.

It's true, yeah. And it's not the person who you'd think. Yes, exactly right. Hey, guys, so very early on, very early on in this podcast, maybe not early on, very early on in this podcast, maybe not early on, but at one point I said, look, one day we're going to have to talk about a movie or a TV show or something on the episode,

and I'm just not going to, and I'm going to attempt to wing my way through it with no knowledge of the film or the TV show or whatever. Maybe it's already happened. Bit of a sizzle there. Maybe I've done it once. Have you really? I don't know.

Maybe I have. Maybe I haven't. That's very interesting. Yeah. What else is interesting is that T-shirt? What is it? This is a very arresting image for the video game Overwatch,

which I've never played. I feel I should just embrace Overwatch at this point because everything on my Instagram is Overwatch now. It's people cosplaying as Overwatch. But that says Primal Rage, right? Is that from Overwatch? Yes. Because that's a video game from the 90s.

It's a video game called Primal Rage, which featured a giant gorilla. So I'm going to wear it. And if people ask, I'm going to be like, they're going to be like, Overwatch. And I'm going to be like, no, it's a thing you've never heard of from the 90s. It's a 90s sega game from 1994 it was a fighting game where you were i remember it you were giant monsters and you gained powers from like you had little followers that

pray and you could eat them yeah like like little neanderthal it was a yeah it was a fighting fighto game wasn't it a fighto game yeah but apparently it's also a bloody it's an overwatch like you can you can do a graffito on a wall in overwatch to tag your territory very good is that is that all the things in the loot crate

that dog's all over the place today so what do you think of that? Wasn't he just in three for like two minutes? Yeah, and he's in one very briefly because he was still governor. Yeah, okay, right. And it was like the first time they'd been on screen together. People were like, oh my God.

But it was just them talking in the church. And Bruce Willis is there or whatever. I don't know. But yeah, so if they do do it, I don't know. Maybe they're going to do it yeah sorry I do that every time but I know you become

increasingly less enthused when I do that but I when I do do that but do you like if they're going to do it again

yes do they go with modern action stars yes like but then do they have that's the thing I think it's a

I think it's a franchise that's of its time and it can't... You'd need them to be established stars for 20 years before you could do it. Yeah. And then you'd have to do it right, which they didn't. Yeah.

All those guys are in a very specific... They're from a very specific time. Yeah. They're from a very specific era of filmmaking and they hold a very specific vibe like they were these giant overblown personalities doing crazy unrealistic stunts and what have you you can't just throw in the new guys

you can't just be like well now we'll get Tony Jaa and Vin Diesel and what I mean you did it's XXX it's XXX3 so I guess they did it so don't even worry about it. Yeah, good point.

Yeah. Anyway, like we said last week. Hey, speaking of washed up action stars. Here we go. I read this. It was on the AV Club. Alec Baldwin explains his cold war against a scrawny little man, Harrison Ford.

Wait, what? Did you do... So Alec Baldwin... Is this about Jack Ryan? Yeah, it is. Oh, great. So Alec Baldwin released a memoir fairly recently called Nevertheless, and apparently he has a lot of animosity to Harrison Ford,

who replaced him as Jack Ryan following the hunt for Red October. Again, Jack Ryan, the action star that's been in so many movies, but I defy anyone off the top of their head to name a defining characteristic of that man. Military. Is he military? Is he a family man? Is he military? Is he a family man? Is he angry? Is he stoic?

We don't know. Yeah. So as Baldwin tells it, he had no idea that he was being ousted from the Tom Clancy franchise, and Ford was curtly unsympathetic to his situation. He was just high. Yeah. I think that's what Harrison Ford was.

I don't think it was any animosity. He was just indifferent because he was stoned. Yeah. And then he's pointed out that... Baldwin points out that Harrison... He says Indiana Jones, but Harrison Ford hasn't won an Oscar. He met Ford years later and notes,

I realised then that the movies really do enhance certain actors, making them seem like something they really aren't at all. Ford in person is a little man, short, scrawny and wiry, whose soft voice sounds as if it's coming from behind a door. That's an amazing insult. Yeah, right? Yeah. I've seen, like, okay, we know Steel Saunders, right?

Yeah. Steel's like 6'1"? Yeah, uh-huh. And he's interviewed Harrison Ford, and Harrison Ford doesn't look that much shorter than him. No, I agree. I don't think... But Alec Baldwin is huge, though.

Sure, yeah. Yeah. But look, okay, so Alec Baldwin's won an Oscar, but who's... And I love Alec Baldwin. Oh, yeah. I think he's great. He's very funny.

But who do you think is a more successful actor on the whole? Yeah, Harrison Ford. Yeah. Yeah. What do you reckon about that? Oh, here's some more... This is other Harrison Ford news. Footage.

So last week. Only one of them made The Shadow, but only one of them made Hollywood Homicide. It's very true. Josh Hartnett? Yeah, Josh Hartnett. Yeah, that's right. So last week, one of our listeners, John,

emailed us, weeklyplanetpod.gmail.com, and gave us a Harrison Ford ultimatum, which was, would you rather. Ah, yes. Would you rather tell Harrison Ford that his earring looks dumb and you have to take it away from him, or that he can't fly his planes anymore and you have to take away his pilot's license.

Oh, yes, that's right. This emerged. Update. Oh, no, this is from... No, this is old news. It's this footage release of Harrison Ford's plane near miss. No, no, there was... They also...

He only just got back his license this week. That's what I'm thinking of, yeah. No, but I think that is still the fallout from this. No, no, there was, they also, he only just got back his license this week. That's what I'm thinking of, yeah. No, but I think that is still the fallout from this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because there's also a certain age where like you shouldn't be driving anymore. Correct. And I'm presuming that the age you shouldn't be flying

is a little bit before that. Yeah, right. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. But there's less people up there. Do you think he's- You're more likely to die in a car crash

than a plane crash. Unless you were Harrison Ford. Unless Harrison Ford is around in some way In which case you're doomed Bless him Wonder Woman is predicting It's predicted that it's going to have an 83 million US opening weekend

Oh yeah Jesus Does that come through? Yeah that'll definitely come through I didn't worry about it So what have we got here? $83 million. Now, as always, whenever I do this,

you don't really know whether that's a good or bad thing. I don't know if $83 million is. I mean, if somebody gave me $83 million. That's good for you. Pretty good, right? FX's The Veil explores the surprising and fraught relationship between two women who play a deadly game of truth and lies on the road from Istanbul to Paris

Help CAMH build a future where no one is left behind so who will you rise for register today at sunrisechallenge.ca that's sunrisechallenge.ca right uh so is that if what to have it take a punt is it good or bad i think that's bad it's okay yeah it's pretty solid it's like what Logan did it's what Doctor Strange did

but it's interesting though because I brought up I remember this article from a few weeks back where they talked about how much

money at the end of the day Batman v Superman made because even though it made something like 850 million

worldwide weird it didn't crack a billion have we talked about Batman v Superman before if we talk about that I know if we talk about it

now we can't talk about the other thing we want to talk about zip on the lips here we go but just quickly

that made they reckon in total 105 million okay but then if you look like there's a list comparatively Iron Man 3

this is when all things are accounted for Iron Man 3 made 391 million yeah Avengers Age of

Ultron 38 $382. Guardians of the Galaxy, $200. Thor The Dark World made $139. So it made more than Batman, Superman. Ant-Man made $2 million less than Batman, Superman. So it's crazy to me that, you know what, what that movie looked like, there was too much money put into it. It didn't look that good.

Sure. Yeah, that just blows my mind that like Thor can make more money. Thor the Dark Lord, a pretty average movie, would make more money. Yeah, anyway. But Wonder Woman, great. That'd be a pretty good opening weekend. But then again, these things change and you can't really predict the box office anymore. In a way, we won't know until people buy tickets for it.

In a way. Mm-hmm. All right. We talked about The Mummy, didn't we? Oh, this is a bit I'm very excited for. Oh. But I'm also apprehensive. Oh, no.

Invincible is getting a film adaptation. Yeah, right. Invincible being- One of your favourite comic books. One of my favourites. Robert Kirkman, who writes The Walking Dead comic, which is great, by the way. It's a really good comic. The show, I don't know if we've talked about it, Mason,

is bullshit. That's not bullshit. You know what? It's fine. You finally finished your epic Why I Hate The Walking Dead TV show video, right? And you know what? There was one thing I wish I had included,

and I took it out at the last minute, where I predicted the arc of the season. And were you correct? Yeah, which is basically like like they tread water until like, and then the mid season break would have been, they decide to go against Negan and then at the end, there'll be a final confrontation and everything else in the middle is just pissing about.

Yeah. Which is exactly what happened. Yeah. But I think I left it too late till, no, cause I meant to release it before the mid season break. So that prediction wasn't valid. Anyway, doesn't matter walking dead it's done for another season but it's almost like that that tv shows based on pop culture properties have a lot of

filler in them have you noticed weird right yeah uh but okay so invincible which is referred to here as this is from robert kirkman himself uh surprisingly uh edgy shocking and often blood-soaked story it couldn't be more in couldn't be in more capable hands with the team of seth rogan and evan goldberg uh who did green hornet well that's exactly right they did and that's why i'm a little bit apprehensive and he's saying that in a long line of superhero movies, that continues to prove that they're a viable, thrilling thing that keep people coming to the cinemas for years to come. So I'm very excited to be seeing a version of Invincible.

Yeah, right. But like you said, they wrote and, what's his name, Rogan starred in, I don't think he'll star in Invincible. You would hope not. Maybe he'll be a supporting character. Yeah, okay. Is there a wack a supporting character. Yeah, okay. Is there a wacky supporting character? There's so many.

He could be robot. It could be. That's true, yeah. There's so many he could be. So they also wrote a lot of Preacher. That's true. People are enjoying that to some degree. No, I don't think it's great. I think the people who are enjoying that are enjoying it.

Yeah, fair enough. But that doesn't rate... You know how one equals one? Yeah, one equals one the people who are enjoying that are enjoying it yeah fair enough but that doesn't write you know how one equals one yeah we're enjoying the show we're enjoying the show but i think maybe i'll come back to preacher when they actually do the preacher storyline yeah right the year before whatever it is so speaking of storylines invincible is nearly wrapped up the comic book series yeah they've nearly done i think it's like a 10 more issues maybe i want to say yeah levin's nose ask okay cool yeah so so that means that the storyline will have wrapped up yes by the time the movie's in production yeah it assumes and it's something like maybe 200 issues maybe just a bit shy of so do you think they're going to try and compact the entire storyline into two hours? I think if they were smart.

You know what? That's the thing. These guys, even though they worked on Green Hornet, which is average at best, and Preacher, which is fine, they had done a lot of really good stuff together. That's true. And I was actually watching an interview with him the other day, not even related to this, where he talks about how the best stuff that he's written is the stuff that they've really taken their time over and right and things that they kind of rushed forward he wasn't particularly happy with but no they have they have a they have a really good kind of run together yeah but um what was i going

to say i can't even remember i think the first arc sort of minor spoilers for invincible uh there's a there's a conflict there's a confrontation with his dad yep so i think if you probably did that first story arc that would make a good movie in itself. And then you'd kind of go forward from there. Nice. How do you see it? Because it doesn't start as weird as it gets. That's true. By now, it's just way out there in different planets.

And they're living on another world. And there's an intergalactic war. It doesn't start like that. It's literally like, what if Superman was a teenager kind of thing. Yeah, right. And then it just goes bananas. That's true. And it gets quite graphic quite quickly.

Oh, it's super graphic, yeah. Like people getting their heads torn off. And the amount of times Invincible has had like his guts spilled or whatever. Like it happens all the time. Yeah, so because it looks, because the art, it's so fourcolor, Marvel in the 80s kind of, you know. Fun, fun. Fun, fun, fun. Yeah.

And yeah, it gets real graphic. So I wonder if they're going to keep that in. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah. Will it be a case of kind of kick-ass, where it's graphic for the sake of being graphic? Right, right. Which you're a big fan of.

No. No? Disagree. Do you like kick-ass too? No. You know that I don't like kick-ass too. Right, right. Which you're a big fan of. No. No? Disagree. You like Kick-Ass 2? No. You know that I don't like Kick-Ass 2. No, you don't. We maybe did an episode on it.

Yep. Yeah. Anyway, I am looking forward to it. Same. Yeah, I'm happy someone's doing it. And, you know, they're a pretty solid team. But at this point, I'm not like, wow, they'll knock it out of the park.

I don't know, to be honest. And you also don't know. I don't know. That's okay, Mason. I'm not in the future. You're not in the future. Well, good thing you, they'll knock it out of the park. I don't know, to be honest. And you also don't know. I don't know. That's okay, Mason. I'm not in the future. You're not in the future. Well, good thing you're not, Mason, because otherwise you'd have to be watching

the Call of Duty shared universe films. Oh, all right. Do you know about this? No. Co-president of Activision says, we're putting together a group of writers to talk about where this is going. The films will be more like a black ops and the story behind that.

And they compared it to like Marvel. We get the likes of Robert Downey Jr. And then real filmmakers. I'm not, I mean, not him, obviously. We're not going to get him. That's right. But somebody like him who costs less. Scott Speedman.

Yeah, okay. Sure. You know, they said what I think makes the Avengers great was the writing and directing. You cared about those characters so they don't just want to chase an empty blockbuster they want to kind of

yeah yeah yeah really make a good Call of Duty you a fan of those games? no I'm not against them no I think the last one I played was Modern Warfare

but my understanding is they're all pretty much the same you know what I mean like some are better than others obviously but I know what was the new the new are better than others obviously but I know what was the new

the new Modern Warfare had Jon Snow in it as the bad guy. Oh right, okay. But instead of that I bought Titanfall 2 because they're very similar in a lot of ways

but Titanfall is well Titanfall 2 is really good so and apparently it's much better than whatever that one was. Do you buy Jon Snow as a villain

with that frizzy hair? He needs to tie it back. Yeah, right. Exactly, yeah. But even then he's a guy with a little top knot. He needs to tie it back. Yeah, right. Exactly, yeah. But even then, he's a guy with a little top knot. He does have a little top knot, yeah. Maybe they CGI'd him out a bit. Maybe that's not a Call of Duty game.

I don't know. It's one of those. But yeah. Do you have any interest in this movie franchise? Is it all going to be modern warfare? I'd be kind of excited to see future space warfare. Sure. Like Elysiumlysium no not that

far dog calm down can you hear that yeah i can yeah no she needs a walk uh yeah that's like whatever do it or don't do it we'll probably end up seeing one of them i guess what imagine if call of duty was the one to break the video game trend. Oh, the curse. Well, maybe it could because it's not... Dog! Hey! I think you might have to go out, dog. She needs to go. Bit of a run in the bloody yard, mate.

Oi! What was I saying? Well, yeah, what I was saying was that if it breaks the curse it's not because the the call of duty franchise i guess is so broad yeah that you could build any kind of storyline into it it might just become a generic ish war movie can you name any of the characters from call of duty kevin spacey is he in it at some point maybe it might be a battlefield i don't know

yeah yeah maybe i'm thinking a battlefield. We're going to get tweets from video game people who are like, obviously, we don't. It's fine. The thing is, like, they're generally solid first-person shooters. Yeah, right? So they never break. I feel they don't break any ground.

Not anymore. I think the first modern warfare. Yeah, after the first few. It's a legitimately good game. Yeah, and then they were like, this is the formula now. Just put in more money and more Kevin Spaceys. Yeah. And we'll just do it over and over again.

Do I ever tell you my Kevin Spacey story? Yeah, but we can't tell it on the air. I can't tell it on the air. God damn it. I can name a character. Soap. Got one. You're thinking of the character from Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

You're right. Played by Dexter Fletcher. Who I saw in person once person once oh can you tell that story uh i was at a market in london oh yeah when i used to live in london oh yeah not a big deal mason i've been i've been around oh jeez and he was he's a little guy like i'm not a huge guy but he's much smaller than me yeah but uh yeah and he looked like a man wow wow he Wow. He's also the bad guy in Doom, the movie. Maybe we can't tell that story on the air. Yeah, he's the guy in the wheelchair from Doom, the movie. He turns into a wheelchair monster.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Great. Good. Incredible. I think that's all. Let me just quickly, I feel like I might have missed something. Maybe I didn't.

I wrote, speaking of dead franchises, The Mummy, because that was supposed to go from Expendables, but we didables but we did it now let's see if we can segue out again we can do it you told your star wars story didn't you yep yep good now that's it so uh lego batman movie i saw it you saw it it's great fun yeah i've heard it's really well everybody in the world to say yeah exactly yeah except for we were on the fence about talking about it at all because. Yeah, what would people care? Yeah. Yeah.

You care though. No, I absolutely care. You haven't seen, you didn't see the Lego movie. I haven't seen the Lego movie. I still haven't seen it. Now, there's a lot of goofs and gaffs in this one. Did you agree? What do you mean?

Good jokes. What's a goof and gaff? Oh, I see. Right. You don't watch H3, it doesn't matter. Go on. Look, I think I feel this movie

I really liked it but I feel it suffers from the same dilemma that new Lady Ghostbusters had yeah too many women

no what actually I think it suffers from is that there's heaps of goofs and gags in the first two acts yeah and in the third act

it becomes it's a fun adventure film for all the family and I feel it should have just stayed as goofs and gags okay sure there's fewer goofs and gags in the first two acts yeah and in the third act it becomes it's a fun adventure film for all the family and i feel it should have just stayed as goofs and gags okay sure there's fewer goofs and gags at the end they're like we've got to save the city and no time for goofs or gags and something about family coming together and families come yeah definitely what do you think of will arnett's batman pretty good yeah solid do they do because i know they do a lot of callbacks to the previous films yes because in the trailer that we saw, which was a great trailer, they actually cut to specific moments from those films. Yes, they did.

They show footage from those movies because they own them all. They Lego-ify them. Oh, really? Yeah. That's very cool. So it's quite short. It's the same length as the montage in the trailer. So we don't get any

we don't get any actual batman v superman action in the style of lego we just get like a like a half a second like view of it but we also get like half a second lego fight batman forever half a second lego fight uh the dark knight it's very good do you think uh like obviously it's all it's already done well yes but do you think there's enough like those jokes for batman fans more than kids obviously like an eight-year-old kid hasn't probably seen batman forever that's yes that's true there is actually a live action shot of adam west batman oh really is he in it no he's not doesn't voice anybody's a voice in it no really that really surprises me you'd think he'd be something.

You'd think he'd be maybe Alfred, but that's Ralph Fiennes. Yeah. Well, Alfred has to be British, though, doesn't he? Generally. I guess that's true. Is Ralph Fiennes a good... He could be real life Alfred, Ralph Fiennes, I feel. I agree, yeah. You're right.

Though he kind of looks like a goblin now. No? No. I disagree. Okay, fine. How dare you demean... Ralph Fiennes. disagree. Okay, fine. How dare you demean... Ralph Fiennes. Yeah.

How dare you. And it is Ralph, isn't it? It's Ralph Fiennes. Yeah. It's spelt Ralph. You should say it Ralph. Rosario Dawson's Batgirl. Is that right?

Correct. Yeah. And what's his name? Michael Ceres Robin? Correct. And I'm seeing the name people are thinking this. Okay, good. Zach Galifianakis is the Joker.

Joker, yep. It's weird they didn't get Mark Hamill that is weird but is he good? he's fine yeah like you don't think he's an outstanding

it's not an outstanding performance no but I guess if they got Mark Hamill as the Joker it's a bit scary though for kids

yeah that's true and also people would then campaign for Kevin Conroy as Batman which would be great, but I don't think he could carry off the non-stop gags. Yeah, because obviously Will Arnett has incredible timing

and also improv skills. And I'd imagine a lot of the stuff that he kind of did on the fly would have probably made it in. So he's got his secret identity, right? Yes. But he's also super rich and popular, but he's lonely. Is that the idea? Yeah, exactly.

He won't let anybody in. That's the whole deal. Like, he saves the city. He's also this weird fame-hungry Batman kind of thing who, like, parades around the city in the Batmobile after he's saved the city and takes in adulation. And he's got, of his many Bat gadgets, he's got kind of a, like, a merch gun.

Right. So they'll be adoring fans and he'll shoot t-shirts at them kind of thing very good this is an all-star voice cast

okay we got we got Jason Manzoukas as the Scarecrow we got Conan O'Brien as the Riddler Doug Benson as Bane Billy Dee Williams

as Back as Two-Face that's right finally Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman okay Kate Micucci as Clayface. Who's that again? She's one half of Garfunkel and Oates.

Okay, yeah. And the other half of Garfunkel and Oates, Ricky Lindholm as Poison Ivy. Right. Eddie Izzard as Voldemort. What? Oh, that's right. It's Lego.

I forgot. Seth Green as King Kong. Jemaine Clement as Sauron. Yeah. Man. Yeah. Well, I genuinely think you should watch the first Lego movie. Okay. Because Batman is a main character in that movie. Man. Yeah. That's a, that's, well, I think, I genuinely think you should, you should watch the first Lego movie.

Okay. Because Batman is a main character in that movie. Right. Okay. Do they reference that at all? I mean, you probably wouldn't even. I, not really. No.

Yeah. No, no. Do they have an everything is awesome style song? There are a couple of songs. Yeah. And in my opinion, they are no good. Okay. Sure.

Well, they, after everything is awesome, like that was a pretty, I guess they wanted something similar, but. Right, right, right. Yeah. What do you? There's a couple of songs about friendship or something. Oh, very good. Well, after Everything is Awesome, I guess they wanted something similar. Right, right. There's a couple of songs about friendship or something. Oh, very good. Oh, very good, Mason. Yeah, extremely good. Post-credits?

No, these are mid-credits. These are mid-credits, which is like a song and dance sequence. Okay, cool. Yeah, it's fine. I will check it out, mate. You should check it out. Because it finally came out here. Yeah, right.

Because School Holidays hit, so they decided to release it yeah good any other thoughts on wouldn't it be easier if we both saw it wouldn't it be yeah uh no it was a good old fun time but again yeah more gags if you would do you think you're gonna go back and watch the other ones like and the future ones and whatever you're gonna watch the ninjago movie? No. It looks funny. Absolutely not. You've seen the trailer? No. It looks quite funny.

No, I'm not going to. I think if you liked this you might like that. I'll watch the Lego movie. You should watch the Lego movie, Mason. I'm going to watch the Lego movie.

Scott bloody Star-Lorded it. He's the main guy. Yeah, cool. So get into it, Mason. Alright. Do I have any more thoughts on it?

I don't know. I'm thinking. Hang on. That wasn't to you. That was to my internal monologue. I'm sorry. Yeah. Nah, that's it. That's it? right good well i guess we gotta move on yeah okay cool i don't know how long this has gone for who cares yeah uh it's time for what

we're reading what we're gonna read our famous segment yep i'm doing the thing I need to talk about Horizon Zero Dawn again if you don't mind Oh no Because last week I was like Why do I keep getting smashed by this bird? Oh yes I figured out how to play it How to smash the bird Yeah boy did I

Is that a metaphor? It's a euphemism It's a fine time in a young man's life when he learns how to smash the bird but i kind of got back into it i knuckled down yes i think the problem was i was playing it more like a tomb raider where it's more kind of like you can't just attack a creature kind of head on you gotta plan out an attack and kind of pin it down with ropes and cut and like swoop in and smash the bird and swoop out as it were. You've smashed a bird before, Mason.

Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. So does it not give you a tutorial to teach you how to do all these things? It probably did, but I often- But again, you skip everything. I skip everything because I don't want to hear the dialogue. But no, I wouldn't say it's not a tutorial in the traditional sense, but no, it's not as handholdy as-

Yep. And I often complain that games are too handholdy. Right. as one is that i'm like what am i doing where where but no i ended up really getting into it and really really enjoying it and i finished up like the main story i probably won't pick it up again i always find that after you've done the main story in an open world game and then i'm just going to go around and help farmers. Exactly. Crops and whatever. I don't want to do it. Have you ever gotten a game to 100% complete? No, never.

I'm not that guy. Same. Yeah. I know a lot of people, I know a lot of our listeners are, and I think some of the guys from Filthy Casuals are. I think Tommy's 100%-er. Really? Is he?

Okay. Might be wrong. Or he was, at least, anyway. Okay. He's a bloody Nintendo fanboy, mate. If ever I've heard one. But no, look look I think it's it's solid man

you know what the other thing is they did the what are those first person shooters on PS3 and 2 and 4 Call of Duty Killzone they didn't do the PS Vita one but it's actually quite good

it's a solid game, man. But I feel like the third-person mechanics weren't as good as they would be normally. Yeah. Like, it's not really... Like, walls that you should be able to scale, you kind of can't, even though they're in the yay high. You know, if you play, like, an Uncharted or a Tomb Raider, you can kind of vault anything. Yes.

This, it's not really the case. Yeah. It's a bit more kind of clunky in terms of that. Uh-huh. So, I feel like, yeah,'s a bit more kind of clunky in terms of that so i feel like yeah that aspect of it kind of falls down but on the whole man it's it's a solid oh no the dog's back the dog's back the dog's baying for blood yeah but no it's solid i've got another thing but why don't you do a thing first oh yeah uh i'm about to read i haven't i haven't read it um it's uh it's called the i've been recommended recommended a comic book called The Woods by James Tinian IV.

I thought you were going to say James Woods. So anyway, it's about James Woods' life. It's a vanity project from James Woods. Art by James Woods? Art by James Woods. Very good. Yeah. Where are we?

So James Tinian 4 he's written some Batman Eternal he wrote Red Hood and the Outlaws and it's kind of a small town Stephen King horror situation so what's it about here we go

in 2013 437 students, 52 teachers and 24 staff from Bay Point Preparatory High School vanished without a trace, countless light years away, far outside the bounds of the charted universe. These people find themselves in the middle of an ancient primordial wilderness. Where are they? Why are they there? Cool, that sounds good.

Sounds pretty good. How many issues in? A whole bunch. A whole bunch, you say? But the first four issues are available on Comixology for two bucks. First four for two? For two bucks. Like the first trade is two bucks.

Okay. Bargain. Wow. So I'm going to check that out. James Woods just wants his work to get out there. He doesn't care about the money. He doesn't want to turn a fuss. He was in...

The vampire hunting movie? Yep. Yep. John Carpenter's Vampires. He was in... The vampire hunting movie? Yep. Yep. John Carpenter's Vampires. That's literally the only thing I can think of. He's done so much. He's done so much, but that's all I can think of, right? He was in one of the scary movies.

Oh, yeah. He was the exorcist guy. Yeah. Good on him. He was probably in a TV cop drama where he was the head of a team. He was in Shark. He was a lawyer who didn't play by the rules or maybe played by all the rules no we'll never know he was a stickler for either not

following or yeah running against the rules do you think they flip a coin whenever they make a legal drama or a cop drama and they're like should this guy play by all the rules and other rules it's either but if he plays by all the, it's because he has some severe form of unrealistic autism. Like a monk or whatever. Do you know what I mean? It's like a superpower. Exactly. And you can't pick James Woods as having any kind of thing like that.

He just has a coke problem. Allegedly. Allegedly. Yeah, allegedly. Well, you said Stephen King. And I thought now's as good a time as any because the It trailer is like the most watched trailer of all time. Is it really?

Yeah. More than size Gangnam Style? The trailer? The trailer for his album. Whatever it's called. I assume it's called Gangnam Style. I was away when that song came out. And then I came back and I'm like, what the fuck is this?

Why is everybody talking about this song? Why is everybody doing gangnam style? Yeah, I didn't get it. I didn't know what was going on. People were mad for it. You showed up at the airport and there was a sign that had your name on it and the guy's doing gangnam style

and you're like, what's happening? Good on him. Wasn't he in like a North Korea propaganda song Hate America video? Like someone dug up one from like years back? No, I think he was. No, I don't think he's a hate America guy. No, I don't think so either.

I think he's more of a, he's an activist. Right. More than anything else. Maybe, I don't know. I don't know if that's true. I mean, he's rich now, so he's probably not an activist. He's like Chumbawamba. They were.

They were activists? They were activists, then the the song that hit was i know the song yeah i came back from the airport there was a guy yeah excuse me can i are you are you here to pick me up okay knock down i just want to is that i just i just want a taxi Can you get me a taxi? No, we're going to Cape Redat. No, we're going to Cape Redat. Anyway, good on Cy. We may have slandered him or we may not have. I don't know his past. But it's also like that kind of thing.

If you were born in Nazi Germany, you were probably a Nazi. And I don't mean like you hated all Jews and whatever. I mean like... No, I'm just saying by default, you were a member to survive. You had to be a member of the Nazi party. You know what I mean? That's all I'm saying. What you're saying is you wish you were in the Nazi party back then.

Look, there's only one Nazi in the day... I was going to say the Dave Warnocki. In the Planet Broadcasting Network and it's Dave Warnocki. Not really. That's not true, is it? No. But it is a running gag. He's a good dude.

Letters. Oh, yeah, letters. If you want to... Oh, yeah, I forgot. Oh, no, I had another thing. Okay, good, because I just remembered I have to do the letters thing. Good. Well, I'll do another thing before we do letters.

Okay, great. I'm listening to the audio book of Stephen King's It. Really? Okay, great. It's fun, man. Oh, it's not fun. That's where we were going with that. That's what we were talking about.

We went on a little tangent. We did a bit. But it's from like 1986, obviously, and it's one of his most well-known properties. But we talked about this last week. You look at his body of work, and it is vast, and it's not all popular. But, God, he's written some stuff that's really become like iconic yeah you know pieces of either film or novellas did he start the the very idea of scary clown i wonder if he did he may have i mean not the idea that clowns are scary which they are that's their own fault that's

their own fault yeah but the idea that they could be supernatural or killers or potentially hiding in the in a drain there was probably a tw Twilight Zone episode or whatever. Yeah, certainly, yeah. Yeah. Where a clown, like, I don't know, pulls your thumbs off. I don't know. Not like that. Yeah. But no, it's...

No, it's good. It's, you know, you know the story, obviously. It's like terrorizing this small town in the 50s. And then when the kids grow up, they can't really remember it, but they're drawn back in because the clown turns up every 27 years and just starts picking off people. And, um, yeah.

And it's a spider. Maybe I hate anything where like it's a spider. Maybe no, but I hate anything where like something happened as a kid and they're all cursed. And then years later it's come like, it's coming back at him. Well,

it's funny. Terrifying. I don't know why. I think it's, I think it's more to do with like it as an adult. I think it's, it feels like as a kid, I'm like, I'm terrified killer clowns or whatever, but as a, as an adult, I think it feels, like as a kid, I'm like, I'm terrified killer clowns or whatever.

But as an adult, I'm more like, oh, like student loan debts. I'm going to pay them all back. I forgot. And now it's here, 27 years later. I feel like as a kid, you'd probably be more equipped to deal with it like emotionally than you would as an adult. Really? Yeah, because kids are malleable.

Do you know what I mean? Like they bounce back. Okay, yeah. But if you can... And I'm not saying kids can't be mentally scarred. Clearly, they can. But I think there's room to kind of recover. But I feel like if you...

Often when you go through events... This is generalization. I'm not a psychologist. But it can be more difficult to recover as an adult. You're not currently a psychologist. Yes. We might retcon it so you are a psychologist. If we feel like it.

If we want to add to your backstory, we can just say you're a psychologist now yeah that being said no i don't want to deal with any of that yeah but no because the clown can also be a bunch of stuff i wasn't aware of this you can shape shift it can be like a killer bird and or like a hobo and whatever and it's a bad bloke yeah speaking of what we're reading here's something i'm probably not gonna watch oh interesting well it's it's our our 360 video for our launch event which i didn't watch it either yeah um because i can't yeah i'm in it and it's weird it's weird right yeah and the full version of that show is actually on planet b casting.com that's right it's right there on the main page there's a great photo archive there is

it's like an hour long the whole thing um the whole show but you can look at the other podcast pitches yeah i mean pit as in they pitch their podcast and pitches of them. But yeah, no, it's a good, I'd recommend giving it a look if you care. Yeah, maybe skip our bits. Yeah, you can. That's fine. So, yeah. No, a lot of really positive feedback.

We talked also earlier this week about doing a live show and whether we want to do another live show. We both came to the conclusion that it's kind of terrifying. Yeah, right. We maybe don't really want to do it. We'll probably do one at some point because a lot of people did miss out. I say a lot. So many people. Millions of people missed out on this.

We couldn't possibly get to them all. But also people under 18 couldn't get in kind of thing. So we'll probably do one which will have many fewer moving parts. Yeah, absolutely. It will not be filmed. Yeah. There will not be an on-site photographer and a charity component and what have you.

It'll just be us in a room with probably two to three people. Two to three people, yeah. Exactly. But I think as well for me and you, because we're not performers, we don't get the rush of being on stage and the laughter and laughter and the clapping like i i get nothing from i just get sweats there's a lot of sweats yeah not that i'm to burn that jacket yeah not that i'm not grateful that people aren't there but i'm not we're not performers also i broke that infinity gauntlet i don't know he didn't mention it okay that's good yeah that's a good Who knew that flailing

Well I mean Yeah Who knew that flailing about And breaking things with it Would cause some damage Crazy right Yeah Okay

Letters it's time for letters Oh yeah it's time for letters Or is it Oh it is Have some faith I think I might be uploading something Oh jeez That's why that's

The classic one was Letters Oh letters We love you Some letters They're're only a take away. I know they're here right now. We're going to do letters. Good, Mason.

Good. If you want to reach the show, you can go to weeklyplanetpod at gmail.com. That's correct. Or hashtag weeklyplanetpod on Twitter and we will find your tweet. We will find it. All right. Do you want me to go first? Please do.

I had a lot of requests this week specifically for this. I don't know why. It's kind of all come to a head. Are you guys going to do it? This is from Jericho. Are you guys going to do another superhero showdown? We got heaps in the letters as well. I don't know what's going on.

Weird, right? What's going on? James Hogan, superhero showdown. This guy, Callum, was like, we were in a fight between these guys. Hey, idiots. This is Sam Perryman. Hey idiots.

Oh, that's fair. In your next matchup. So we should probably do one at some point. Yeah. We need a fun, we need to, here's the thing.

We need an extra, I think we should send this out to the weekly wackadoos, our great listeners. We need an element. We need an, we need a new twist. Yeah. Initially I'm like,

should we have all the pod, should we verse all the podcasts on the weekly planet, on the planet broadcasting network? See who would win in a fight between all of them? Can't we just have a real fight? Wouldn't that be easier? I guess we could have a real fight in the streets. Yeah, you're right.

Who's the biggest? Knox. Knox is pretty big, isn't he? What's his age? He's like 6'3"? Yeah, yeah. It's like a lumberjack, that boy. That's right, yeah.

We let him and Steel fight it out first. Yeah, good. Okay, yeah, that's right. Once they're weakened, we all pounce. Yeah, good idea. Yeah. No, yeah, but we do need another element to it. I just kind of feel like we've done so many...

We've done hero versus hero. We've done hero versus villain. We've done villain versus villain. We've done... Because a lot of also the suggestions for characters we get, we've already done. That's true. I mean, so it's kind of...

But I want to do it because I enjoy them a lot. Yeah, me too. People enjoy them a lot as well. But I want to do it because I enjoy them a lot. Yeah, me too. People enjoy them a lot as well. But I want to do it in like an interesting way, basically, yeah. Maybe it could be like what-if scenarios instead.

Like you mentioned that Harrison Ford earring thing. Yes. Maybe we could do that. Oh, a series of ultimatums. Yeah, variations. Maybe, yeah, okay. The ultimatum episode.

Yeah. That sounds good. Maybe we'll do that. Give that a whirl. We could put them in. We could intersperse them with versuses. Yeah, totally. Yeah, that'd be good. Maybe we'll do that. Anyway, we can't We could put them in. We could intersperse them with Versuses. Yeah, totally.

Yeah, that'd be good. Maybe we'll do that. Anyway, we can't do it next week because next week's Fast and Furious and Fate of the Fast and the Furious 8. Yes. And also Star Wars Celebration. Yes. But we will do it soon.

This is from Charlie Mazio. Said that wrong, maybe. Maybe he spelt it wrong. Or she. Mm-hmm. Are you guys interested it's 2017 Sam's gonna be ladies as well

are you interested in Injustice 2 also can I be the official DC fanboy of the podcast yes and I'm interested in the storyline

of Injustice 2 more than I am great comic series the comic series is great but also I like I love the cinematics and stuff and kind of the storyline even of the

video game of the the first one but i don't particularly want to play the fighting game again because it'll be about the same the fighting um also really like it feels very contrived but you have to like video game so fighting video game stories are always contrived like batman comes to the bat cave and he's like what what are you doing in here, Catwoman? And then they fight and she's like, oh no, I just had this thumb drive to give to you. Right, exactly. Like it's always something like that.

And I understand that. It's a fighting game. What are you going to do? But yeah, I'll get it. I might wait till like the complete definitive edition comes out with all the characters. With all the bonuses, yeah. But I'll read the comic for sure.

Yeah. But I like the fighting mechanics because it's kind of mortal combat ish and that's kind of that's what i kind of know yeah i what happens to me though is i i will lose interest with this kind of game i will lose interest as soon as i've done all the super moves okay like as soon as i've realized all the things that green lanterns ring can do in the game you can just google that can't. Yeah, can't be bothered playing as Green Lantern anymore. Exactly. Or I can just, I can wait a day.

Yeah. I can just go to YouTube and type in Injustice 2 every special move. Yeah, that's right. And there'll be an hour long thing of just some guy who's done every single move. Absolutely. You know what I did love? What's that? You took a day off work so you could play it.

Okay. Yeah. Where's he? Do you want to bring him in here? Okay. Yeah, bring him in. I did love and you took a day off work so we could play it okay yeah where's Hay do you want to bring him in here okay yeah bring him in oh no yeah wow

All right. Do you have that letter? Oh, yeah. By yes, I mean no. Hang on. Oh. Well, we can talk about the Shia LaBeouf thing

I don't know, we'll figure something out. But I thought we could do the audio component so people can download that. Yeah, nice. So people can listen on the go and we'll do a short video message. I think that's what I said in the thing anyway. What a fun memory. Okay, so Shia LaBeouf sold one ticket in the UK to his movie Man Down. That's right.

A lot of people want to talk about that. Yep. What a dickhead. What is it? Why? I don't know. What is happening? Did he make it in his house?

Why has it had so little press? It already made nearly half a million in the US.s okay so it's not it's still made money is it an indie film yeah i think it's about a war vet or whatever i don't know but yeah he's just a he's a common man just doing doing good work also he got kicked out of a bowling alley for picking a fight with the guy behind the counter or something some some nonsense like that. So, good on him. At least he's out there doing art or whatever he's doing. Whatever he's doing, yeah. Whatever he's doing.
