This podcast is part of the Planet Broadcasting Network. Visit planetbroadcasting.com for more podcasts from our great mates. Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of The Weekly Planet where we talk movies and comics and TV shows. My name is James, also known as Mr. Sunday. With me as always is my co-host, Nick Mason. I'm here. I'm here on the podcast. You're on the podcast, Mason. I've been told by Claire to remind everybody

that the Australian Podcast Championship tournament is still apparently happening. I was just wondering about that actually on the way here. I'm like, did we lose the award yet? I think it's,

the voting closes sometime during the week. So if you haven't voted or you would like to vote, I'll link that below and you can vote. And then if we get nominated, apparently we have to go

to the awards, Claire told me. Oh, we have to buy tickets to go to there. I'm not sure how it works. If we're nominated, we should get them for the awards glenn told me oh we have to buy tickets to go to there i'm not sure how it works if we're nominated we should get them for free right i don't think that's how it works it's ridiculous yeah oh speaking of voting i'm gonna flip over so many so many trays of food if they even serve anything do you reckon they will uh i reckon there might be a buffet yeah it better be yeah i love a buffet and what we're saying well maybe there'll be an omelette bar. Now you've got me going.

Nothing better. Oh, imagine. We put on our tuxedos, we go to an omelette bar. Yum, yum, yum. Omelettes are overrated, mate. How dare you? I'm just saying. What do you put in an omelette, though?

Probably tomato, mushrooms, maybe a type of cheese. I'm not sure. What type of cheese would you put in an omelette? Four types of cheese. That's too many types. Four types of cheese and bacon. That's what I'm doing. You're messing with too many types of cheese because then it's just a mass of cheese. You're not getting any one flavour. Yeah.

You pick like a tasty or a bloody... I'm getting one flavour. It's called cheese. You've lost it, mate. Or a string cheese. You pick one. I never had it. I never had it. Anyway, speaking of voting, if you go on the Planet Broadcasting Great Mates Facebook group, our friend Levins has put up a poll.

This coming week, somebody from the Planet Broadcasting is going to be doing a live Facebook Q&A chat event thing, and you can vote on who you want it to be. If it's me, it's going to be Thursday, 10 a.m. Australian time, which is like 11pm I think in the US something like that depending on where you are

yeah so that's going to be a live Q&A yeah with someone you all signs point to me at this point

yes but if it's not you it'll be someone else great yeah the next front runner is Jess Perkins then it's you I'm third

you're third yeah disappointing yeah that sounds great then it's a pop filter then it's a stack of laptops then it's you I'm third you're third yeah disappointing yeah that sounds great then it's a pop filter then it's a stack of laptops then it's the dog yep

that's right but anyway get voting maybe we'll tip the scales one way or the other but that's coming up this week we'll announce it on probably Twitter and Facebook

before it happens and if there's somebody you don't want make sure you vote for somebody else yeah that's the rule right that's right

good stuff should we do the news? Yeah, let's do some news. Deadpool 2 has a new trailer. Yes. Right? I was going to do a breakdown, but then there's not that much in it that I want to talk about in a 10 minute video.

Okay. But I'm happy to do a little bit here. Okay. Things we now have confirmed. Ricky Baker has fire powers. He does. But we still don't, we kind of knew that. Yes.

I thought maybe he was just a kid who was surrounded by fire. It's very possible. But he, people are saying Sunspot, Pyro, it's probably not Pyro because Pyro can't make fire. And he already exists.

And he already exists. Yeah, but they recast. That's true. Like there's two versions of Colossus apparently and whatever. Oh yeah, okay, cool. But anyway, it doesn't matter.

But also there's three versions, if he is Pyro, that'd be three versions of Pyro because there's another Pyro in't matter. But also, there's three versions. If he is Pyro, that'd be three versions of Pyro. Because there's another Pyro in part one. And I guess there's two versions of Emma Frost. Because there's an adult one from the 60s. But there's a teenage one from X-Men Origins Wolverine. Not to mention two versions of Magneto Professor X.

There's one Wolverine, Mason. That's true. Oh, there's little boy Wolverine. There's Australia's own Hugh Jackman Wolverine. And there's little Lord Fauntleroy Wolverine. Fancy frilled cuffs Wolverine. That's right.er's own Hugh Jackman Wolverine and there's Little Lord Fauntleroy Wolverine fancy frilled cuffs Wolverine. That's right. It's the two.

Yeah. And I don't mind telling you which one I preferred, Mason. Yes. The Hugh Jackman one, obviously. I don't mind telling you that. Big tough man. Strayer's own. Yeah.

Okay, we do know that Cable has come to the present day to kill the boy. Looper style. Yes. Your favourite film? Nope, disagree. Your second favourite film? Nope. Disagree. Your second favorite film? It's not even in my top four films.

Your fifth favorite film? There we go. Okay, good. It's a real winner. It is, isn't it? I like it. You're that fat. I'm not a fan.

But so do you think this is going to be a, he destroys the world or kicks off the apocalypse in some stupid way and then. Yes, I think so. Yeah. Yeah. Or he grows up to be like an apocalypse of some sort. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah.

Do you think it might be just something stupid that he triggers? Oh, right. Because it's a joke. Because it's a joke, Mason. Because it's flipping genres. Yeah, I think maybe the real villain... I think what's going to happen is the real villain will emerge to be somebody else. I think.

Okay, cool. I think Cable's going to come back in time and be like, this is the guy I've got to kill. But then it turns out It's actually like an 8 foot tall Apocalypse kind of character Who's been lurking in the shadows the whole time Or just in broad daylight And nobody's noticed

Well there's rumours of the Juggernaut There we go But is he really a guy Who's taken over the future? No not really He's just running laps If he ran enough laps around the world though He could probably crush it all

Yeah he'd make a pretty big ditch. Yeah. But that's about the extent of it. Also, he's not that fast, is he? No, he's just kind of regular speed, isn't he? Yeah. Yeah. I think if you got him caught in like a hamster ball, that'd be fine.

He'd just run forever in it. It's fine. Yeah. Yeah. Or a Hot Wheels track, a really big one that just loops around. Exactly. How's he going to get out? He's not fast enough to scoop over the edge, you know? No, exactly. That's not who he is. Yeah. Yeah. Or a Hot Wheels track, a really big one that just loops around. Exactly. How's he going to get out? He's not fast enough to scoop over the edge, you know?

Exactly. It's not who he is. Yeah. We got some more, well, X-Force is confirmed, which we sort of already knew. That's true, yeah. Uh-huh. There are some rumors that Deadpool's wearing his X-Force costume in the preview. I think it's burnt or something.

Yeah, right. Yeah, but it's definitely, whatever, either way, it's definitely a nod to that happening. I guess this will kind of indicate what sort of X-Force movie we're going to get. Is it going to be silly or serious? I'd imagine it'd be quite silly, Mason. Yeah, I thought it wasn't going to be for some reason. Well, it depends if he's in it or not. And if he's in it, then it'll be silly, I'd imagine.

Apparently, Ryan Reynolds, this is the first movie he's getting a writing credit on as well He apparently was responsible for the line, look at my balls That was him, did you know that? Wow Yeah, so that's good Again, he's just got the whiteboard in his house It says, look at my, there's a question mark

Just surrounded by hundreds of different, like every conceivable body part I need to think about this. Where can I relax in my ball pit? Then I'll think of something. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. But it's, I didn't love this trailer because I think people were calling for it because there was no plot in the previous ones.

But I didn't think this was as interesting as the last one. Like I don't mind just seeing flashes of nonsense and bits and pieces, but I don't need like a, and this is the plot, and this is what's happening. I think we've got some more interesting fight stuff. I think the fight stuff looks very good. Yeah, I think, yeah, you're probably right. Is Depender on X-Force now?

Is he in the summer team? Maybe he's just the cabbie or he's driving him about. But imagine him in the X-Men uniform, like flying an X-Jet or something. That would be good. Well, we see a bit of the X-Men. He's got one of those beaded seat covers. You need them.

Do you reckon they're any good, those? I bet they're no good. I bet they're no good. It's just the back or they go all the way down and under? They'll go all the way down and under. How would you want to sit on that? It's like sitting on spilt marbles. It's horrible.

Yeah. Is it for massaging? I don't know. Just get a massage chair. Install it in your car. Or a ball pit. Yeah, put in one of those coin-operated ones. Yeah, a massage chair. Install it in your car. Or a ball pit. Yeah, put in one of those coin-operated ones. Yeah, that's it.

Put it in your car. Got one of them? They're no good. No, never. Never any good. But what else? Apparently, there was rumors that it was no good and it didn't test very well.

But apparently, though, the cinema score was quite good. There's now new rumors that it is good. So you can't take any of this stuff seriously because they change stuff and people have different opinions on films you know some people love and some people hate so you really don't know until you see it yeah would you say is that is that correct now i would say that's correct speaking of we're not going to talk about it this week we did both say ready player one did we yeah i could hear you rolling your eyes next to me look

it was much as I thought it would be yeah I thought it was quite good in a lot of places but there's some as the book necessitated

there are some bits that are just here's some references and oh boy they are excruciating yeah but next week we'll talk about it I've been making kind making a list of things that I want to talk about

because there's some shit in that movie I cannot wrap my head around. Oh, yeah. But a lot of... It's okay. I did a review. I didn't think it was terrible, and I thought it was going to be terrible. Yeah. Anyway, we'll save that for next week, Jason.

Okay. But you were scoffing and guffawing all the way through. I wasn't scoffing or guffawing. I was cringing. You're normally quite silent in a film. You don't normally do much, but you were quite animated. Oh, I sunk down in my seat. Look, I won't give too much away, but the dance sequence.

Yeah. Oh, rough. Yeah. Rough for any number of reasons, which we'll elaborate on next week. I'd love to talk about all that now. Oh. Next week. Oh.

Do you want more Deadpool news? Could have done with an edit that movie. It would have been good. It was very long. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, do you have more Deadpool news? Yeah.

Well, there was an animated show that was going to FX. I had no idea about this. Yeah. Brought to us by Donald Glover. Donald Glover and Stephen Glover were doing it with Marvel Television. FX will no longer be involved in the project. And they're still, everyone's still friends because they still make Legion. But they're all parting ways.

Yeah, okay. Whatever. Speaking of which, Atlanta is back. Are you back on it? No. It's like four episodes out. Yeah, I know, I know. Well, I've got the SBS app on my television.

Me too. I hate that app though. there's ads yeah and i shouldn't complain because there's ads in my youtube video exactly right but i think because i'm just not used to them yeah but it's a free app so what am i exactly i can't complain yeah is it even a show that's got it doesn't have built-in commercial breaks does it no it really doesn't yeah because i don't really do that anymore do i yeah but uh this deadpool tv show which wasn't was sort of happening do you care about that not happening anymore not really no no no yeah i didn't have time to grow to love it really so because i had no idea it existed before you knew it it was already gone i've seen one still of how deadpool was going to look you looked kind of like the Max. Okay. Remember the Max in that style?

The Max comic. Yeah, the Max. Yeah. Was it called the Max? It's called the Max. Was it called Marvel Max? Oh, no. No, you know, the Max.

No. What are you talking about? M-A-X-X. Yeah. He was like a... Like Punisher Max and whatever. No, this is the Max. He was an image character.

Oh, okay. Remember him? No. He had a little cartoon for a bit. M-A-X-X? Yes. He was an image character. Oh, okay. Remember him? No. He had a little cartoon for a bit. M-A-X-X? Yes. He's purple. I don't know.

Do this. Believe in yourself. You can do it. You can Google a thing. Yeah, I'm doing it. It looks nothing like him. I don't know what you're talking about. No, but it's the style.

No. No, I got my... I mean, I didn't see the Deadpool one, so I don't know. Okay, right. I'm not... So you're throwing me on the bus here based on literally no evidence. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's okay though, isn't it?

Good. Mason, do you love Street Fighter the movie? The one with Raoul Julia? Yes. Raoul Julia, award-winning actor Raoul Julia's final role. Final performance, yeah. Yeah, I do love it. Do you love Street Fighter the Legend of Chun-Li?

With the woman from Smallville. Yes. And the other guy from Smallville. Yes. And the other guy from Band of Brothers. Yeah. The guy from American Pie. American Pie. Yes. But also got the guy from Band of Brothers

and he's one of the... Dum Dum Dugan. Dum Dum Dugan. Yeah, okay. Yes, I love them both. I'm just going to say I love everything in this episode. See, I thought the second one was very boring. Like, I know the first one's objectively not good.

Yes. But at least it's doing something, you know? I guess. The second one was very boring. Like, I know the first one's objectively not good. Yes. But at least it's doing something, you know? I guess. The second one was just, what if Batman begins, but Chun-Li, but not good? Great. Is that what that was? Yes. Yeah.

And there's the famous Chris Klein role line, he's a ghost, he walks between the raindrops or something. Yeah. I should watch that. Do you think they were going to do, if the Legend of Chun-Li were a success, they were going to do every character? Because I'm sure they were also looking at like... The Legend of Dan.

How he got his pink gi. Now he dropped out of karate school or whatever it was. That's it. Because I think they were going to do like the same way that, they probably looked at X-Men and like, well, X-Men are doing X-Men Origins Wolverine. And then they were going to do Magneto and whatever.

I think that's what they were thinking. They were going to do Blanka. They were going to do Dalsim. The Sim, yeah. That's all very good. No, it's not. But the Street Fighter TV series that they're making will be based on... Is it a TV series?

Okay, good. Based on the World Warriors story arc from Street Fighter 2, and will centre on the characters Ryu, Ken, Guile, and Chun-Li. Together they fight to take down M. Bison, the evil mastermind who runs Shadaloo. The story arc is very generous there. Fly to China and fight in the street. Correct. That is literally it. Fly to an army base, fight in the army base.

Fly to Japan. In front of a jet. I've been to Japan. To a bathhouse. A number of occasions. A number? Several times. And I have enjoyed the culture and

it was an amazing place to go to and great people and everything like that but when somebody says the word to japan the first and only thing i think of is in street fighter 2 when you go there and the announcer goes japan that's it everything else is gone are you excited for this? Is it live action? I guess so What channel is it on? I think it's like a Hulu thing or something Okay, then I'm not excited for it

No, it might not be I'm going to double check that Do you really want to know? Yeah, kind of Alright, fine Like Netflix, I guess No, I don't think it's Netflix Like a

E1 No idea Entertainment One Cannot be good No, no, I'm familiar with them I just don't think it's Like a E1 No idea Entertainment 1 Cannot be good No no I'm familiar with them I just don't know What else they've done

Like HBO would be great Yeah it's not them Netflix would work Hasn't there been Some good anime stuff Yeah I haven't seen any of it But that's my understanding

Yeah Because people love This lore and these characters And whatever And there's been Some great stuff done with it How many versions Of Street Fighter 2 are there

Like 1600 Yes So many Why did they take so long and there's characters and whatever and there's been some great stuff done with it. How many versions of Street Fighter 2 are there? Like 1,600? Yes. So many. Why did they take so long? What do you mean? To make three. They just get like Turbo Edition and Ultra.

2 was so balanced, I think, that people really dug it and they didn't want to be like, here's a new engine and people would be like, I can't kick as good. I'm so mad, I can't kick as good. It wouldn't need to be a new engine though. Especially in that era because it came out in like 1991 or whatever it was.

But people would be like, you changed his hat and now he's not as good as a character. That's what they did in the Ultimate Edition and whatever. Didn't they change it and there was different varieties of characters? They changed the hats, yes. Yeah, correct. And if you played as Blank, if there was two Blankers, one of them would be a

blue blanker what was the blue blanket you prefer to be a blue blanker no green blanker traditional i like traditional yeah i'm a i'm a street fighter purist sure insofar as i'm very bad at it and i'm easily beaten by 10 year old children at an arcade have you ever been to like say box hill where they have like the proper arcade places and there's a guy who like sits on the street fighter cabinet all day. And so you play. I mean, not for like 15 years. Yeah, sure.

This is what I'm talking about. And then you sit down and in the first round, he kind of just beats you to kind of see what you can do. And in the second round, it's like over in like 10 seconds. Well, I'm glad he's found his passion. Yeah, he's still there. He's still in that original dollar. Inflation has caught up.

So now playing an arcade costs like $4 a play now, but he put in $0.50 15 years ago, and he's still beating opponents. Yeah. Yeah, I can't stand those people who do that. You just ruined a kid's fun, you prick. All right, what else? Speaking of ruining a kid's fun, Cobra Kai has a new trailer.

Oh, yeah, I saw that. I think it looks really good. It looks like a funny or die... I'm saying it will be good, Mason. I'm saying it looks like a funny or die sketch. It doesn't have any jokes in it. Yes, yes. You mean like the way it's shot?

Yeah, the way it's shot. And the fact that they've got these guys back. Yes, exactly, yeah. One of them was in How I Met Your Mother. Actually, I think they both were. Yeah. It's them was in How I Met Your Mother. Actually, I think they both were. Yeah. It's a YouTube Red series, which might mean I actually get YouTube Red

because it's always just like, what if Logan Paul was at a high school that was haunted or whatever? That's what the shows are. Is that a scripted show? Yeah, something like that. I don't know. Or if it's like, what if pranks,

but PewDiePie is doing the pranks or whatever. You know what I mean? Sounds pretty good. Yeah, good pranks. I like how they're all hypothetical scenarios on YouTube Red. I don't think they're hypothetical. What if Karate Kid, but it's still happening? Yes.

The slogan is YouTube Red, I guess. Yeah. But YouTube, like crazy views, like in terms of the people who watch it. Yeah, right. A lot of kids. For every kid that I know, Mason, in my life. Yes.

Like TB Pete, his daughter. Uh-huh. Like my nephews. They don't watch TV. They just watch YouTube. Yeah, right. They just watch their favorite YouTube. YouTube will do something cool until they do something racist.

Exactly. Why would you wait around for content when you can just, you know? Because when we were kids, like if I wanted to see a video game. Here we go. No, I'm not complaining. I think what I'm saying is it's better now and it should be this way, Mason. There was like no video game shows in Australia. There was The Zone on Channel 9 on like Saturday morning at 8.30.

And it went for half an hour. And it was mostly just guys doing skits. And then they'd show you like a minute of a review. Yeah, right. And that was it. That was all there was. But now you can go and watch somebody play any game the entire way through. Like imagine living in that world.

I mean, we do. We do. Imagine being a kid doing that. Yes, right. Incredible. Yeah. Incredible times, life and times. And also, you know if a video game is crap or not.

That's very true. You never knew then. Yeah, yeah. Because all the, like, Nintendo Power or whatever, a lot of the ones, we had NMS Magazine System or whatever it was called here. Everything, most things get a really good review. Yes.

Because they're, you know, they're Nintendo-owned. It's a marketing thing. Yeah, exactly. So you can't trust anybody, Mason. I held in my heart so many games that I never got to play as a kid yeah and then Clay Fighter

exactly and as an adult I'm like oh I can play these all on the internet for free and I'm like oh that was a waste

yeah of my hopes and dreams I remember I finally like 20 years after it came out got to play Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Tournament Fighters which is just

and it's just a reskinned like Street Fighter like it's fine but I'm like oh man that's 20 years now yeah that's been on my mind and you're right there you go anyway cobra kai yes ralph macchio's maybe sort of the bad guy

that's interesting yeah yeah that's kind of cool yeah so he's like a slick karate based car so so basically what's the so what's the new guy what's the bad guy from the original uh william zabka guy yeah is that the actor's name or the character's name? No, Johnny. Okay, so Johnny has... Sweep the leg, Johnny. He's spent the prior 30 years just wasting his life away, and he's decided now to bring back the Cobra Kai dojo

to teach a... A generation of nerds. Some downtrodden kids how to defend themselves and rise up and whatever so he's Mr. Miyagi now essentially yeah and

Ralph Macchio is trying to shut down the yeah okay Mr. Miyagi studio yeah but he because he probably thinks

he's teaching evil karate or whatever he probably thinks he's teaching evil karate but I don't know if he is he seems to be teaching regular karate he seems to be

yeah I mean aggressive sure yeah but he's the one who beats up the kids and that which I like how he kicks a kid in the head and then, I mean, aggressive, sure. Yeah. But he's the one who beats up the kids and that, which I liked how he kicks a kid in the head and then he's like, ah, like he's like my foot.

Cause he's, you know, he's 50. Yeah, right. You can't just kick a kid in the head. He's got some good moves for a guy who's very old. He's been keeping up with it, no doubt. He looks like he's been keeping it up more than Machio has. Yeah, right. Yeah.

So he, so is that, is William Zabka an actual karate guy? I don't know. Or is he stage karate guy? He's probably stage karate. But I think they'll probably work into this that like, kids don't even like karate anymore. They like MMA. They like MMA, exactly.

This would be like, well, karate's about discipline and whatever. Who said karate's the Dane cook of martial arts? Oh, Archer did. Yeah. Archer, the cartoon character. Yes, correct. Well, that was all the rage though, wasn't it? I'm sure it was boxing with Rocky and then everybody, every kid wanted to know karate.

Yes. And then every kid wanted to be a ninja after the Ninja Turtles. That's right. And then ninjas for a minute were like the ultimate elite fighting force. It's true. And then now they're just cannon fodder. Yes. So, and I kind of feel like MMA people are becoming cannon fodder in movies now as well.

Right, right. Like. Well, it was parkour guys. It was parkour guys. And I think now it's MMA guys and just John Wick is just headshotting them all. Yeah, right. And I think after that, like, John Wick guys are going to be the next cannon fodder. So who'd be?

Pirates. Yeah, so pirates beat up a John Wick guy. Exactly, yeah. Okay. Now, it can't be pirates because we're done with pirates. Yeah. What's the new thing, I wonder? What is the new thing?

Have we had sexy vampires yet? Yes, we've had sexy vampires. I guess it was going to be creatures from the Black Lagoon. It was, but no. No, it can be, though, because sexy fish monsters. That's true. So sexy fish monsters beating up John Wick. John Wick is the next one, yes.

Okay, great. Is William Zabka a real karate guy? I'm looking. I'm looking. It says martial artist in his Wikipedia thing. That's actor, screenwriter, martial artist. Great, there you go. Okay.

He's 52. Well, the guy who's 52 who can kick that high is clearly keeping up with it. Because I can't get my leg above my knee. No, exactly. He had no previous martial arts experience at the time of The Karate Kid, but was an accomplished wrestler. I don't doubt it. Then after he did the film,

it inspired him to learn the martial art of Tang Soo Do and a black belt. I think we've spoken about Tang Soo Do before. We've spoken about Shang Tsung. Yeah, for sure. That's what it is. And it's a Korean martial art. Okay.

Yeah. There you go. It's got karate in it. Wait, which career? Both careers. On the border. Yeah. what it is and it's a korean martial art okay yeah there you go it's got karate in it wait which career both careers on the border yeah it's just this career yeah exactly yeah it's only legal it's only legal on the border yeah yeah excellent but you can just go nuts yeah but no i think i like that he goes into ralph macchio's car dealership and he's like hey this is the guy that i kicked in the face all right 30 years ago like that he goes into Ralph Macchio's car dealership and he's like, hey, this is the guy that I kicked in the face

all over 30 years ago. That's embarrassing for both of them. It really is. You know what I mean? It'll be interesting to see which of them is more stuck in the past because it seems like it's Macchio, right? Yeah, I think so. Yeah.

But yeah, I don't know. Yeah. It did kind of feel like, again, like I said, like the Funny or Die sketch where he's like karate kicking all these low low prices yeah right yeah it also could be

that could be a real ad as well oh yeah for sure yeah anyway we better move it along but I'm okay I'm kind of looking forward to it as well

May 20 also if you want to see two guys play a really bad karate kid game oh we did that we did that for Karate Garden

a few weeks back it's so is that coming out this week it's out it's Garden a few weeks back. God, that's one of the worst ones. It's so... Oof. Is that coming out this week? It's out. Oh, it's out. People can go check that out. Yeah, it's bad. It's very bad. Yeah. But it encompasses all the Karate Kid movies, I think. At least one and two. I don't know if it gets...

We didn't get... We saw most of it, though. I think we only didn't see one level. What if you get to the end of that game and there's like an ad for the next Karate Kid? Like there was an Easter egg hidden in there. And it's like, the Karate Kid better go. I prefer it to be your Daniel LaRusso and your kickin' Lolo Price. Yeah, for sure.

Oh, what if that was it? Nobody's ever got there. There was an Easter egg for the YouTube Red video. There's blueprints for YouTube in there. Oh, Good stuff. Tom Hardy has shot down the Venom rumors that the Venom suit is hardly in the movie. There was a leaked plot outline,

which I didn't really look at. But from what I heard somebody else say, briefly, was that there's not a lot of Venom suit and at the end he wears it for like five minutes. Yeah, I've also heard that. So it's all tendrils and flipping cars and sounds bad sounds bad that sounds like a throwback to all superhero movies yes where they get the costume right at the end I don't care for it put

him in the costume we've seen Origins before at least Spawn had the costume for most of the movie Spawn yeah you could at least do what Spawn did but he didn't have the cape for most of the movie Spawn which is the best part of Spawn. Not in that movie, it wasn't. The best part of that movie was West Wing President. Michael Sheen. Michael Sheen going, We killed you! What happened to you?

Jet black hair and a goatee. Yeah, nice. Yeah, that was pretty good. Do you think he was trying to do a Charlie Sheen? That was Charlie Sheen's look at that same time, wasn't it? Yeah, I guess so, yeah. Yeah. Anyway, Tom Hardy has said this on Instagram.

Just saying, Venom suit. Myths are usually asinine. Usually asinine circulate about things, usually by those who have failed to garner credible intel. Ooh, intel, like an army man. We might have a hot scoop here, though, Mason. Oh, yes. I've delved into the Weekly Planet pod at Gmail, which I know is your domain.

So I apologize. I've never. Yep. Yep. You stay out. All right. This is from Tom. And then he says.

Wait, Tom who? Tom H. Tom H. Tom H. Yeah. From Hollywood, California. Correct. Wow.

It's just one of his old raps from MySpace. Oh, yes. Have you seen those? No, but they sound good. Yeah. First off, all of the grains of salt here. Also, I haven't seen his raps either. I'm not even sure that's a thing.

There's definitely some very old photos of him. He's very fashionable for the time. Weren't we all, though? Yeah. So, by the way, I don't know whether this is true, and also the person sending this doesn't know why would Tom Hardy lie unless it's Tom Holland

also from Hollywood correct we don't know but it says hot scoop so I heard from a friend of a friend who did it says their job

but I'm going to say something something for the job in case there's only one person doing this thing cat wrangler cat wrangler on the Venom movie

and it's a huge nerd like the rest of us that the Venom movie is going to be true to the comics and any other comic book movie to date. I don't know. The trailer still looks like Michael Bay's remake of The Exorcist to me. So that's interesting.

It's lower budgeted than a lot of other comic book movies. So it wouldn't surprise me if it's only the Venom suit at the end. Depends what else we see. If we see like the tactical Venom suit during it. That would be good. I'd be okay with that. I don't know. Let's not pass judgment just yet, Mason. As long as it's not 90

minutes of him in the hospital bed thrashing about, I'll accept anything above that, I guess. You don't think he could pull that off? No, he probably could. Remember in Dunkirk, he wore a mask for most of it, and then at the end, he just got out of his plane? People loved it, Mason. Yeah, that was good. So what are you saying? That he can't do it?

No, he could probably do it. He's got a rap that also says otherwise. Yeah. That puts you to shame, Mason. Oh, what? Yeah. What else we got here? Cloak and Dagger has a trailer. I watched it.

Apparently this is good, but I didn't... There wasn't much about this that I really loved. No. It looked okay, I guess. I guess. So it's in New Orleans. Is this a comic in New Orleans? I don't know. Okay So it's in New Orleans. Is the comic in New Orleans? I don't know.

Okay. The Divine Pairing. So these kind of two chosen people who have the powers of Cloak and or Dagger. Do you remember the comic? In the comics, their secret origin is drugs. Cool. So I don't know what the new origin is now. I mean, I haven't read anything with Cloak and Dagger in it since the 90s.

So I do not know. So is this the same characters from the 90s? I think so, yes. So one can throw crystals and the other one can be a shadow. Light knives. Light knives, sorry. Yes. And the other one's a shadow man.

Doesn't seem to have a cloak though, does he? Or a dagger. Well, she has a dagger. She has a dagger, yes. Yeah, no, I'm not. But I've heard this is good. Like from people who have seen, said this is really good. But good on what scale?

Good question. Is it a good heartfelt drama that makes you feel? Or is it good because they're shooting out sweet light knives and teleporting through shadows and stuff and it's real fun? It doesn't look fun, does it?

No, it doesn't look fun. Not everything has to be fun, Mason. I think it does. Okay, you're right. Everything has to be fun and this gets a big thumbs down from both of us. Ba-bam! We'll see. We we'll see won't we yes speaking of fun i think it's going to need to be very well received the first episode is going to be need going to need to be

very well received for me to jump on this i think yeah right okay yeah fair enough and there's so many shows i think if they say grim i'm not on board what if they say fun if they say what did you say they were what what mystical characters are they the what their divine pairing okay well if they say the divine pairing are the new killers of john wick like if they're okay they're gonna if that's the new uh do you think a light knife could take down a john wick yes What if the light knife had killed his dog? Good question. Could John Wick kill a shadow man? We'd find a way, I think, yeah. Probably with some MMA.

And a headshot. Does he do MMA? Yeah. I thought he was more of a Krav Maga kind of guy. You know, elbows and knees. No, I get it. Close combat, because you don't see him on the ground much, do you? I've only seen the first one. He's on the ground a fair bit.

A little bit, but he's more up and about. He's mostly getting people on the ground and then shooting them in the head. That's true. There's so many head shots in those movies. You'll break your wrist and flip someone and then shoot them in the head. There's so many shots in the head, yeah. I should watch the second one, right? It's pretty good, yeah.

Okay, I'll get into it. Tessa Thompson has joined Chris Evans in the Men in Black reboot. That's reboot that's right you speculated oh you said ruffalo would be a good fit close enough sure both in a movie i mean physically they've been close they've been close enough which is good enough uh what do you think about this pairing that's fun i thought there was they were fun in uh the other one that we saw. I think this is smart. Yeah. Yeah. Taika Waititi also would have worked. He would have worked. Yeah. Absolutely would have.

Jeff Goldblum would have worked. Yeah, definitely. Put any of those people together. Give Jeff Goldblum the rip-torn role. Make Taika Waititi an alien. You're done, mate. That's your movie. Yeah.

It can just be Taika Waititi and he's got an alien under his face or whatever. Yeah, for sure. You know what I mean? Like they did in that first one. Yeah, okay. I think they're going for more 21 Jump Street Ghostbusters reboot kind of thing. Oh, definitely, yeah. From this.

And it's Sony as well, which I think they did all of those. So this could actually work. Yeah, I mean, they had good chemistry in Thor, so do it again. Do you think it's going to be an origin where one meets the other and is like, Chris Hemsworth, I need you to be a man in black. And he's like, I'm just an nyc street cop and she's like the world's bigger than just busting drugs you fucking idiot and he's like all right all right i guess so i'll give him my tiny little gun yeah i think it's gonna be like that uh i don't know if i want another

origin i want established we've been doing this for a little bit maybe maybe we have another character who's the point of view character do you think sony have learned their lessons about reboots like people know what the men in black is now you don't need to do the will smith is the new recruit kind of thing again i think you could just be like this is the men in black i don't know where are they going to go with this though because like conspiracy theories used to be fun and i think they're not fun anymore not fun because people believe them no not not fun because they used to be like hey there's a hangar in in area 51 and it's filled with aliens and spacecraft or whatever yeah and now it's like murder children are just actors

you know yeah yeah they're not as much fun that's not as much fun so you don't want to see that movie no okay fair enough yeah i thought you're gonna be like and the et cartridges were really there and that was the last mystery or whatever. Oh, I see. Okay, right, right. But you went grim. Yeah, I really did. How are people saying that, though?

I don't know. That's crazy, right? Let's talk about something not as depressing, but still a little bit depressing, depending on your perspective. I'm ready. That was a pretty shitty segue. You did the best you could under the circumstances.

I did, didn't i uh there's justice league mortal uh concept art of surfaced oh yeah have you seen this i have seen some of it double check i saw mostly some superman stuff yeah you should look it up the actual justice league team and look at the batman nice i will um the batman suit which is not very good what will i i would say the super Superman one isn't very good either. I don't actually mind the design, but I don't like the person who's in the suit. I don't think it works.

Yeah, because I actually don't mind that actual Superman suit design. I think it's okay, but no, there's some stuff in that, which is... Oh, they got rid of the trunks as well. Yes, the gone the trunks are back also in the comic they are i told you action comics 1000 he's he's got the trunks back looking at this i think they i think wonder woman looks good yep i don't mind that aquaman at all i quite like that this is also quite pixelated the green lantern is kind of as good as you can do with a physical suit i guess yeah yeah super batman is very scrawny yeah and it feels scrawny it looks like a balaclava Kind of as good as you can do with a physical suit, I guess. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Batman is very scrawny.

Yeah. It feels scrawny. It looks like a balaclava with a helmet on it. Yeah. If you've seen a close-up one. It looks kind of medieval. I don't like it. It looks more 90s. Yeah, it looks like a sort of a Batman Elseworlds of sort.

It looks like a Gotham by Gaslight kind of situation. People are saying this is garbage. Uh-huh. But it's not that bad. It looks like a Gotham by Gaslight kind of situation. People are saying this is garbage. Uh-huh. But it's not that bad. No, no. What do you think of the Martian Manhunter? I'm looking right now.

Look at those muscles, mate. He's taken a knee. He's taken a knee. I like it. That's the guy who played Morton Joe. Oh, right. Yeah, yeah. That makes sense. Yeah, so there you bloody go mate

so that's interesting but uh but I don't know what I think maybe is getting me about this is the lack of textures I never thought that

yeah see if you look at yeah see if you look at this yeah that's right with this Superman suit he looks like Superboy because it's

look at this one because it's just like yeah right you Superman suit, he looks like Superboy. Because it's, look at this one. Because it's just like. Yeah, right. You're right, there's no textures. And you also kind of need the jocks to break it up a bit. You do need the jocks, it's true, yeah. Wonder Woman looks quite similar to the current version. Yeah, we've seen images of, that's already been leaked before.

Yeah, right. Previously, but yeah. Is Batman wearing a sort of power suit? Might be. It looks like it's mechanized a little bit. I remember hearing years ago, Armie Hammer said in an interview, also we didn't know for ages whether this was,

there was talk that it was going to be the motion capture. Oh, right. There was rumors of that, which obviously weren't true because George Miller wasn't really making live action films at this time. He was making... Happy Feet.

But they obviously didn't go with that. But I remember Armie Hammer saying it's got like gears and levers and pull it's steampunk yeah kind of terrific yeah here's a closer one if you want to see this one yeah of this suit hang on i'll bring it up terrific and then i can look at it from the other side of the room to see it properly but it's got like chain he's got like chain mail pants yeah right man yeah it's a chain mail crotch yeah and see how it's got like a it's almost like a chainmail or balaclava hood with the helmet that like slips over the top yeah yeah i don't know if i like it very much i don't like it it's a bit gotham by gaslight yeah i literally just said that did you

yes oh well i wasn't listening mason you can edit out one of them i won't okay i'll edit out yours that's what i thought i'll let it out yours i left the option open and then you edit out the part where i said i just said that. And just put in a part. Just put in. Tell you what, I'll give you a clean. Oh, yeah. Good observation, James. I thought you said Elseworlds.

You said that as well. I said Elseworlds. Okay, cool. All right, I apologize. Good observation, James. Hey, look, I'm happy to be here. Just happy to be talking movies, you know? Yeah, no, it's real good.

Anything else on this? Nah. Probably get some. I think there's a, someone's planning a documentary documentary on it but they're waiting for the rights to be cleared okay for it have you seen i have yet to see um the death of what's it called death of superman lives what happens yes it's good okay it's worth checking out you can it would still avail for purchase and streaming and love it and whatnot so yeah no it's definitely worth checking out that the guy who made that, John Schnepp,

got permission from DC and whatever. I'm presuming they're a bit reluctant on this because that death of Superman's gone. That's like 20 years old. I would imagine some of this, they still might be interested in. Oh, you think there might be some concepts in this script or in this artwork?

I mean, we've seen the script, but I don't know. I don't know. Might be wrong. Script, we've talked about it before i mean we we see batman kills maxwell lord or whatever they are played by jay baruchel oh there you go um but we see like when they're making one of these movies when they're making a current movie we see all the concept art anyway yeah so like even if we see some stuff from years ago it's not gonna be that surprising you know you're right so just release it just release it let us

bloody have it that's right for free yeah good yeah great people worked hard on that i assume what's very strange about this is first of all it got cancelled like like a week before they started filming like it went, they were ready and then, but it was also around this time and I remember thinking this was weird it was around the time, like the Dark Knight had just happened and they were like there's going to be another Batman in a Justice League

this would be a completely different, yeah that's right, yeah I remember and I remember hearing Armie Hammer and he was like 22, I remember thinking what the fuck, what are they doing again, number one the mystery was is he somehow related to Armie Hammer, and he was like 22. I remember thinking, what the fuck? What are they doing? Again, number one, the mystery was, is he somehow related to Armie Hammer, the baking soda company? And I think he is. Right.

And secondly, we're like, who is this guy? We've never heard of him. He's too young. Yeah. But I mean, he's since been in stuff. It would totally be a great Batman. But maybe he wouldn't have been at 22 or whatever. He might have been a bit older than that then.

But now he definitely, I don't think he wants to do it now but he'd be a great Bruce Wayne Batman but I don't know we'll see Mason yeah who wants to be in it these days

who wants to be Batman I mean he's got to be people but at the same time even the guy who is Batman doesn't want to be Batman anymore what he wants to do is he wants to get

enormous Phoenix back tattoos I wanted us to talk about that is that real so that's real well this is literally the first this is the first i've seen of it yeah i haven't seen it before either yeah but apparently it's it's been cited before yeah and he said no it's for a movie but it's he's been to the beach and it's still there so unless it's one of those because i remember uh for breaking bad yeah and

um what's his name Paul Jesse Pinkman what's the guy's name Jason Nizix no Paul Aaron Aaron Paul yes like he got

they gave him like because he had like hand tattoos and stuff yeah they gave him like a a series of tattoos that last for I don't know like

a month or more yeah like they go on so they don't have to keep redoing them yeah right and then they fade eventually yeah so maybe he's still in that region where it doesn't go faded no and it also doesn't look like he's had a problem with alcohol but that's not a you

accidentally get that tattoo like that's a design and multiple sessions of multiple hours what if you're really you have to be drunk for a long period of time. What if you're continuously getting drunk in the tattoo parlor? Yeah, then I guess that's what it is. Correct. Why though?

Why would you... That's weird, right? Yeah. They must have CGI'd it out for Batman v Superman if he didn't have it then. Yeah, right. If he did have it then, sorry.

I don't know. I'm going to Google it again just quickly just so we're not... We're not cray? Yeah, exactly. Okay. Ben Affleck

dumb tattoo. Dumb ta... We're not. We're not cray? Yeah, exactly. Okay. Ben Affleck. Ben Affleck. Dumb tattoo. Dumb tattoo. Here we go. Yeah, so there was a while back where he was in like a... Okay, this is... It looks like Live My Night, he had it. This is page six dot com. Even Matt Damon couldn't save Ben Affleck from bad tattoo.

What? What does that even mean? This was on the Daily Show. Oh, so Matt Damon did have a say in it. Yeah. Like it wasn't just, what if Matt, why didn't Matt Damon intervene? Sorry? They weren't like, why didn't Matt Damon intervene?

He actually had things to say. Trevor Noah asked Matt Damon whether he's over, whether his friendship with Affleck is over in light of the back tattoo. He's like, it's not one man's job to tell another man what he can do to his back. That is so true. That's true. It's also shoulder. It goes up over his shoulders.

Yeah, right. This is insane. That's where his tattoos go. It's not terrible. A nightmare. Yeah, but it's not the worst tattoo I've ever seen. I just don... Look. It's a nightmare. Yeah, but it's not the worst tattoo I've ever seen. I just don't know why he would do this. Anyway.

Jennifer Garner said, You know what we would say in my hometown about that? Bless his heart. That's nice. Yeah. She's a delight. A phoenix rising from the ashes. Am I the ashes in this scenario?

I take umbrage. I refuse to be the ashes. Oh, that's what she said? Yeah. Cool. Jennifer Lopez says it the ashes. Oh, that's what she said? Yeah. Cool. Jennifer Lopez says it's awful. Yeah, well. I think Jennifer Lopez is the ashes.

I think so. Because that was his low point. Gigli. Yeah. Right? And he was in the Jenny from the Block video clip. Yeah, absolutely. I reckon that's it.

And then he's taken some time to think about it. And now he's like... Remember how he was dressing at that time? Yeah, so smooth. He was so slick back then. I remember all his suits were so shiny. He borrowed Shaggy's clothes or something. He probably had diamond bracelets on.

Good stuff. What an era. There's a new Avengers TV spot. There's a few clips and bits and pieces in it. Nothing too spectacular. Anything to say? I didn't watch him because I was concerned that there's a Vision one, which apparently reveals a little bit too much.

I didn't see that. I don't think. Yeah, we'll see it in a month. Also revealing too much, a lot of toy listings. Yeah. The one in particular has revealed who's in the Hulkbuster suit. Yep. Don't Google it if you don't want to know.

There's some Spider-Man stuff in there. Yep. There's a bunch of stuff that we don't like. Don't. Why is Marvel not locking down these toy companies? you don't want to know. There's some Spider-Man stuff in there. Yep. There's a bunch of stuff that... Yeah, don't... Why do these... Why is Marvel not locking down these toy companies? Because they need the merch... Sales, right?

...ready before it comes out. Yeah, right. And all the websites and companies and whatever need to have this stuff ready to print and put on their websites and whatever. Lock it down. All right, I will. Yeah, good.

Yeah. But here's something interesting. Yes? Chris Evans says he's going to say goodbye to Captain America after Avengers 4. His exact quote was... I'm out of here, suckers. You want to get off the train before they push, is what he said. Is he referring to his role in Snowpiercer?

Snowpiercer's a metaphor, yes. Yeah, for sure. He did get off that train also, didn't he? That's right. Yeah. But I'm not surprised by this. He signed on for like 14 films yeah right

in 2000 well it came out in 2011 yeah right but before Captain America the first one came out and it's probably about time for maybe not necessarily go away forever

but I can understand why he'd want to give it a rest that is fascinating that they signed him on for so many movies so early on and that's why he was

reluctant to do it because he was like well I did Fantastic Four and you know I'm not really yeah and what was weird about it though was he wasn't really on the up and up at that point in terms of roles yeah but he was still like i don't really want to do this and kind of yeah this level of fame and and commitment if it if it if it goes well you know i'm stuck in it if it goes badly i look like an in it. If it goes badly, I look like an idiot. Yes, for sure. So regardless, it didn't seem too... And maybe it would have been like a Roger Corman situation

where they keep making him make the movies and they're not getting released. And he's on his 14th Captain America movie. It's like, what are you... No! I thought this would be a good opportunity, though, to talk about who could continue the role after he's gone. I've talked about this before.

There's a few people that are set up in the universe that could take it over. In the comic books, it's been given to the Falcon. Yes. I think in this particular movie universe, I think it is 100% going bucky yeah what do you think that he's pretty cool that's that's a really good point i didn't think about that that's right yeah i feel like falcon at this point is still kind of he can probably put like a little adapter on his arm

yeah like a little like a magnet like a magnet on his arm right yeah i feel like falcon still kind of got his own thing going on yeah bucky's story of being who he is is kind of, it's not winding down, but it needs to kind of shift. Yeah, I think so, yeah. In some direction. And we're going to get a non-brainwashed Bucky in Infinity War, but I think you might be right. I think that doesn't necessarily mean that then it goes to Anthony Mackie and then whatever.

Yeah, right. And in the comic books, Bucky has also been like a earth's soul cosmic defender briefly he did that for a while but i think that's probably that's too cosmic for the direction the character is going in the movies well for now at least yeah for sure depending what they do yeah i've got some details though in terms of who's got what left yeah right how many films left yeah anthony mackie has stated that he's got like he signed on for like 50 yeah I think he's exaggerating

for anybody I think at this point also given that Infinity War is so close yeah any of these things I think are often can be a spoiler

yeah right so if you don't want to know anything about anything more about Infinity War maybe don't listen to this bit okay because if we're like this person has zero movies left

yeah then they potentially could die. But that being said, everybody knows that Robert Downey Jr. is wrapping up, but he's done extra stuff. That's true. He's come back. He got paid $50 million for Homecoming or whatever he did.

Maybe it wasn't that, but it was a lot. So yeah, Anthony Mackie says he's got like 50, which means... Also, again, given that it's a comic book movie, even if you die, you can come back as a clone or a villain or a hologram or a flashback yeah or whatever so exactly you know so so they obviously signed i think they also signed these guys on for longer just so for a bit of wiggle room so like well who who do the audiences respond to and whatever yeah for sure uh also with um what's his name the other guy sebastian stan yes uh he's he did a nine film contract yep he's done three already there'll be five if he with the

two avengers films and if spoiler alert for black panther if they count that that he's coming out the end that'll be six but i don't think that yeah right because chris evans is in for the dark world but i don't think that counted towards his yeah he is in Thor the Dark World, but I don't think that counted towards his. Yeah. He's also in Homecoming. He's too. There you go. So I'd be surprised if they count, but who bloody knows.

I thought another option, which they're looking at in the comics, is Hayley Atwell. Yeah. Okay. Right. Yeah. Okay. I really liked that actress and obviously Agent Carter's done.

So bring it to the future of whatever and do it like that. I don't think actress. Me too. Obviously, Agent Carter's done. Yes. Bring her to the future or whatever and do it like that. I don't think they'll do that. What about... I got some left of center ones here. Okay. Ready for this? Yeah.

What about Emily VanCamp? Sharon Carter. Oh, so the other Carter. I don't like it. No. And also, she's been in... What was she in? She was in Winter Soldier.

And Civil War. Yeah. And I don't think they've got any chemistry? She was in Winter Soldier. And Civil War. Yeah. And I don't think they've got any chemistry. It was weird, right? Yeah, right. When they got together. And also she's related to his lost love. So that's weird.

I mean, it's weird in the comics, but it's weirder seeing it in real life. Yeah. I mean, fictional. You know what I mean? Right, right. You know what I mean? How about this one? Yes.

Ready for this? No. Jon Favreau. You do it at comedy. You make a happy Hogan's Captain America. Happy America. Yeah. Nice.

What do you think of that? Yes. They'd never do it. Swingers. Made. He's in a food truck. Exactly. Going around America.

He's cooking up. He's cooking something up in the shield like it's a wok. He's cooking up a brisket in the back of the shield. Yum, yum, yum. Love a brisket. He's cooking up a brisket in the back of the shield. Yum, yum, yum. Love a brisket. They won't do it, but. No. I think that could work.

Yeah, for sure. Or he has to like road trip Captain America's shield across the country or something. Nice. And he's getting into scrapes. Well, he's always shipping shield tech, isn't he? Exactly, yeah. So maybe the Quinjet breaks down and he has to hitchhike. He has to hoof it.

Exactly. He meets all the weird characters along the way. He meets that guy who's a weird space trucker. He meets all the weird characters they don't know what to do with, but they own, so they've got to use him at some point. I love it. You could either call it Happy America or Happy's America. Yeah.

Because he's seeing all of America's. You know what I mean? Yeah. I'm a genius. It's very good. You know what I mean? Yeah. I'm a genius. It's very good. This one is actually a real one. You do a fill in Captain America in the 40s and 50s. So the real Captain America disappears.

Yeah, right. Like they did in the comics. And they get a guy to be like, we need a Captain America. So you're Captain America. Exactly. Yeah. That would work. So for anybody who doesn't know, Captain America was invented for World War II and then they

continued to use the character throughout I guess the the late 40s and 50s yeah and then when they brought him back in the 60s they they were like okay well we'll retcon this we'll say the character in the 40s and the 50s was a different guy yeah who thought he was captain america and now he's crazy yeah the costume yeah exactly yeah so they could do that yeah that would work yeah who do they get though who do you get well i i i had a theory john ham you could do john ham and he's crazy you could get the guy who played who was nuke you couldn't because that's a different guy that's true yeah obviously could you get one of the howling commandos maybe yeah yeah but they had their own thing going on as well.

They kind of stuck with that. I thought before Winter Soldier there was a chance that Robert Redford was like the 1970s Captain America. Yeah, that would be fun. But he's a Hydra man, so that wouldn't work necessarily. But no, I think again we always talk about what happened in between. Could work though. Because we've had a recent storyline in the Marvel comics where Captain America worked for Hydra all along. Yeah.

So what if you make the one in the 50s or the 70s, it's Robert Redford and he's Captain America and he's working for Hydra. That's great. It's too complicated, but throw it in there. Why not? I would love to see like Cap Hydra modern day with Chris Evans. Yeah, right. Like rest him for five years or whatever bring him back say he's killed in infinity war bring him back but he's evil exactly like red

skull brings him back it's the cube yeah messed with his brain or whatever they should absolutely do that so these are all great ideas there's not a bad one that is quite a lot like the winter soldier yes being evil so that i i think that's an interesting arc as well okay because it's everyone's like yay Captain America's back Oh no he's the worst now You know There's some free dialogue for you Marvel Oh no he's the worst now

Very good. Very good. I know you could talk this all day, obviously. Happies, hoagies. Yeah. But I'm going to talk about Pacific Rim Uprising. Okay, let's talk about it. It's a sequel to the 2013 Pacific Rim.

Guillermo del Toro. It made $411 million worldwide. So it didn't do great considering the budget. This one's doing okay it's got less of a budget it's 25 million weekend it dethroned the king Black Panther

which I think is more on that Black Panther's been up for six weeks than this movie it had to go eventually yeah because 25 million it's not great

but in China it did 65 million so it's going to do 120 worldwide this weekend so it's doing okay. There's not the buzz there was in the first one, obviously. Would you say there's a lot of pandering to China in this movie? Yes, I would.

Absolutely. I'll explain it. Yeah, definitely. Yeah, you're right. There's not as much buzz in this one. But do you think, though, because of that, we should neglect you telling us what the story was, Mason? Oh, no. Bloody hell. All right. I'm back. He's done it. because of that we should neglect you telling us what the story was oh no bloody hell all right i'm

back oh he's done it i felt that was a lot of pressure on me i know right because i thought i was gonna yeah last week failed big time i thought it was all over for you asking what the story was generally all right hang on here we go okay so it's 10 years after the original pacific rim time jump and but it's only been five in real life. Yeah. Wow. Wow. Really make you think.

Nah. No. Anyway, most of the world's been rebuilt. Yep. Except for some of the coastal cities. You'd think you would rebuild some of those because they're nice holiday destinations. Yeah, but what if monsters come back? That's a good point.

Yeah. But they haven't come back. Yet. But Idris Elba's kid. Yeah. He's a hustler. He's a good point. Yeah. But they haven't come back. Yet. But Idris Elba's kid. Yeah. He's a hustler. He's a hustler. He's a mover, a shaker.

That's right. I thought he was going to be like a rich kind of frat boy idiot. Oh, right. From the trailers. But he's just squatting in mansions. Exactly. Yeah. And then.

And then, yeah. Then everybody's just chilling out. Yep. They're still making Jaegers, the big old robots, even though there hasn't been a kaiju threat in 10 years. You would, though, wouldn't you? No. What are you talking about?

Set up the breach. Yeah, but... Take a decade off. Yeah, but there wasn't always the breach. Oh, good point, actually. So before the breach, there was no breach, and then there was a breach. Okay, right.

Okay, that's a good point, actually. It is a great point. It's a great point. Say great point. So you can edit it was a breach. Okay, right. Okay, that's a good point actually. It is a great point. It's a great point. Say great point. So you can edit it in later. Great point, James. Yeah, right. But I'd take some time off.

Anyway, but anyway, they've rebuilt basically everything and everything's cool. Sydney looks great. Yeah, it did, didn't it? And so did local newscaster. What's his face? Peter Overton.

I wrote that down. There we go. That was a nice surprise. Yeah. It's's his face? Peter Overton. I wrote that down. There we go. That was a nice surprise. It's been 10 years since Peter Overton. It's amazing Peter Overton wasn't killed in the last movie. Well, let me find out when the first one was set. Let's find out how old Peter Overton would be. Oh, that's right, because this is in the future.

This is in the future. He's looking great. Yeah. Didn't even occur to me. Yeah, let me figure that. Anyway, you're saying, so they're still doing the Jaeger program. Yep. And what, what has to happen or whatever, what, what John Boyega has to go into it because

he's, he's stealing stuff. Oh, that's right. He gets caught stealing Jaeger parts because there's a black market for people just building their own Jaegers, I guess. Okay. The first one's in 2020. So this one's 2030. Okay.

Which would make Peter over two. Okay. If you could look that up. 2030. So that's 12 years in the future. Okay. The first one's in 2020. So this one's 2030. Okay. Which would make Peter Overton. Okay. If you could look that up. 2030. So that's 12 years in the future. Yes. Okay. So how old is he now?

Peter Overton is 51. So he's a 63 year old man. 63. He's looking great for 63. He does look great for 63. I think he looks good for 51. That's true. Yeah.

No, that's true. We're throwing that out there. That's true. Anyway. It's weird they only got Peter Overton. There's no other news people from around the world. What about, but, but, no, that's true. We're throwing that out there. That's true. Anyway, it's weird they only got Peter Overton. There's no other news people from around the world. What about, but, but, but maybe in other countries. Okay, fair enough.

There's a local newscaster. They got China's Peter Overton. China's Peter Overton, exactly. Should have been more of that. That's right, yeah. They should have crossed back and forth to each other. Why didn't we get more pandering? That's a good question.

Because our market is small and insignificant. We only got it because they filmed it here for cheap That's true I mean we did get an entire scene And because Brian Naylor's dead So they had to get Peter Overton Yeah I guess Yeah

They could have got Lee Lynn Chin They could have yeah SBS's own Lee Lynn Chin Agreed They could have got Peter Hitchener Could have got Peter Hitchener Yeah They could have got Agro

That sexually aggressive puppet Yes I don't know if he's a good fit They could have got Davidro. That sexually aggressive puppet. Yes. I don't know if he's a good fit. They could have got David Tench of David Tench Tonight. Famous animated interviewer. That's the future though, isn't it? So that would have made perfect sense. Do you want to explain that?

No, people can Google David Tench Tonight. Just imagine the majesty of him being in the film Pacific Rim Uprising. Anyway, then what happens then? Then there's trouble brewing. There's trouble. Maybe there's rogue Jaegers. Maybe there's more monsters. There's a company that wants to replace all the Jaegers with the drone pilot.

Is that the new nanotechnology now? Replacing a thing with drones? I think it is. And they were like, you can't do nothing with the drone pilot. Is that the new nanotechnology now, replacing a thing with drones? I think it is. And they were like, you can't do nothing without a bloody pilot. It's not right. They don't have the... None of these desk jockeys are going to take my role

being a bloody Jaeger pilot. Yeah. And it's bloody... A Jaeger master. Oh! Drones can be bloody hacked, they say, in a movie where all the Jaegers have constant, like, there's constant connection and you can see everything

that's happening in a Jaeger from over in a command centre. Yeah. Anyway. You're right. Anyway. Can you move your mic a little bit closer, but not too close? What about here? Yeah, that's good.

Nice. Good stuff. Yeah, so that's the story. That is the story. Nailed it. What I did like about this. You know how that retelling of the story was so good because I had a week off. Yeah. I was was so fresh and you literally just saw it yeah so

you're probably going to be swayed by how much you liked it because you just came out of it that's probably true what did you think of it though i thought it was pretty good i didn't mind it yeah yeah i think there were fewer dumb plot a lot of people hate this really yeah i think this one is more solid and it's it feels brisk yes like feels like it's a fun, quick action movie. I felt the first one really dragged. Bit of a slog. I agree. It was kind of a slog.

It was also very melodramatic. And I didn't think the lead or a bunch of the leads were very good except for Idris Elba. Yeah. No, you're right. Yeah. And there was some excruciating Australian accents. Boy, was there. Yeah.

This one's just got the excruciating Australian accent of Peter Overton. But he's okay. Yeah, he's good. He's our David Tench. Yeah. But he... No, because I think getting rid of Raleigh Beckett, who was the lead of the last one.

Is he dead? He must be. He must be, because they mention him. Yeah. And they're like, remember the greats like Raleigh Beckett? Yeah. What happens? Did he fall out of one or something?

He probably fell out of one. What did he do? Yeah. Yeah, because all the, is Jaeger, because I kind of wished I watched the first one. Yes. Because there was some stuff that I was kind of like, I didn't really remember it. I think a lot of the reason though, this movie works for me. It's not brilliant, but I should point that out.

It's no, it's no game changer. I would say if I'm, if I can give a one sentence review, it's a breezy, silly action movie. Yes. Yeah. It's like a better version of the Power Rangers movie. Yeah, for sure. Much better.

I would say it's way better than that. Yeah. It won't waste your time. No. What was I going to say? But I realized, and I didn't kind of appreciate this with the first one, I quite like the world and the lore

and the established characters that they bring back. Because they bring back Idris Elba's adopted daughter. Yep. And I think she's in a pretty effective role for what she's in it. The two scientists. The guy who looks like Crispin Glover, but I don't think he is Crispin Glover.

He's not Crispin Glover. I could have done with some Ron Perlman. I'm not going to lie. He was still alive at the end of the first part. He cut his way out of a fish or whatever. That's right, yeah. Or a baby monster.man. I'm not going to lie. He was still alive at the end of the first part. He cut his way out of a fish or whatever. That's right, yeah. Or a baby monster. Yep.

Kaiju. Yeah. But John Boyega is a much more charismatic lead than the last guy. And of course we get Scott Eastwood as stick-up-his-bum guy who eventually learns to loosen up a little bit. Yeah. His most famous role. From that other one, is it?

Every other movie, is it? From the movie where he's not Paul Walker from the Fast and Furious. Fast and Furious, role. From that other one he's in. Every other movie he's in. From the movie where he's not Paul Walker from the Fast and Furious book. Fast and Furious, yeah. I think they actually worked well together. Yeah, I agree. I'm not a huge Scott Eastwood guy. No one is.

Seems like a nice guy. His dad certainly isn't. I don't know if that's true. But no, I thought they played off well, each other. I don't know what the girl's name is, but there's like a little Jennifer Lawrence who I thought was quite good. Yeah, right.

She's the sassy. That's the a little Jennifer Lawrence, who I thought was quite good. Yeah, right. She's like 14%. She's the sassy. That's the new thing. I think Transformers kicked off. But she's so much better than what they did with Transformers. Yeah, right. Like. Yeah.

And I like Charlie Day and Crispin Glover. Uh-huh. I liked Peter Overton. I've written that here. Yeah. But there's kind of a whole bunch of other teenagers who are in the new Jaeger program who are kind of. Instantly forgettable. Agreed. Yeah. instantly forgettable. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. But, but I mean, they're ultimately. That'd be stomped. Some of them are there, you know,

it's just some people we're meant to relate to a little bit and maybe some of them die and maybe some of them live. So exactly. And I don't remember who did what to be honest. Uh, I also got a, I don't think it did scale as well as the first one i think it did really i think there are some scenes set in there's some scenes that are set in cities yeah

where it's it's like it's like a side scrolling action game you see that you see the kaijus and the and the yeagers coming at each other yeah and i thought they looked great like it looked like men in suits yes cardboard backgrounds running at each other. Yeah. And I thought they looked great. Yeah. It looked like men in suits. Yes. And cardboard backgrounds running at each other, but it looked like it really worked. Agreed, but I think the first one did a better, in terms of weight and scale.

Yeah, okay, right. But I also can put that down to, it's been 10 years, they're just faster. Like the Jaegers are faster. Yeah, right, uh-huh. The Kaiju or whoever are faster. I thought the fight scenes in this one were better than the first one i agreed because there's more weapons and weird shit and lasers and swords there's fewer wibbly wobbly swords yes there is

yeah there's one guy's got two swords yeah and that was really cool uh-huh uh ones i really like the little ball rolly one um scrapperpper. Yeah. I thought that one was... Yeah, because I felt there was a bit more personality in them than from what I remember than the first one. You know what? I don't think there is more... I don't think they necessarily have personality, these ones. Just different colors?

They have different colors, but I think they have less irritating personalities. Okay. Which I think... I watched this one and I'm like well okay i bet the robots had personality no that's what i mean oh i think that i think that because this the pilots and the robots are sort of tied together a little bit like in the first one we had like there was like a chinese robot on a russian robot and i think that was like a nuclear reactor head

and they were i think they were bigger and bolder yeah and more interesting design wise but i think the pilots were so thoroughly annoying and weird stereotypes that i like them less and i think yeah these these designs are more generic a little bit yeah right but they felt less like caricatures and more like these are things we're using to kind of get down to business i loved the yellow the orangey ninja one. Orangey ninja one was good. It was a good one, yeah. I guess this is a slight spoiler though, it's in the trailers.

A big part of this movie is robots fighting robots. Yeah. And I find that infinitely more interesting than fighting kaiju. Exactly, yeah. Because there's... The robot jocks effect. The robot jocks effect. It's really fun to watch.

And there really is this... They, they smash down so many buildings. Yeah. But because it's so breezy and fun and whatever, I wasn't like, you've killed a million people. Also, there's one moment where you see, I think it's in Japan, some people run into like a tower and it goes underground. And they're like, it's okay, we've evacuated the whole city. So I just assume that everybody's probably fine, I but probably not there's some there's some office workers

yes they're nearly getting killed with a giant flaming sword but but there's moments where there seems to be the damage is completely unnecessary like where like one of them will like fling out a sword and run and it'll just cut through buildings yes that's right just running through you're like you don't need to do that if anything that's only going to slow you down correct get it out of the way that's it uh but look i wouldn't say it's i'm surprised that i that i thought it was okay considering i didn't have any interest in it and didn't really love the first one yeah do you think this is character driven do you you think this is... John Boyega charisma driven. Oh yeah, for sure. More than anything.

Yeah. Yeah. But it's... I guess it's best movie ever. I do think it's best movie ever. It's definitely not the worst movie ever. Yeah. I think we're probably on the minority on that.

All right. Let's talk spoilers in this movie. Let's talk spoilers. I like they brought back the sister and I actually felt something when she died. Me too. Which was surprising because I don't remember anything about her from the first one, except she fought with a stick. And she was very sad.

She was very sad. And it's interesting because we'd never seen John Boyega's character before. Yeah. So, and I think they did the, I think they did the brother sister dynamic quite well. Yes. Given realistically they'd never met. Yeah. Well, they did a good job up top of establishing the relationship where he's a dropout and she's looking out for him and he's like give me another chance sis

yeah she's like you have to be friends with scott eastwood he's like not that fuckwit yeah can i eat ice cream he does eat ice cream he's a bit dave lister in that scene yeah he's a bit it was lister and rimmer all over again scott eastwood's a real Rimmer. He's a real Rimmer. Real Arnold Judas Rimmer. What did you think about them training the recruits and whatever? I think I tuned out. Yeah, the recruits aren't great, except for the little Jennifer Lawrence. Exactly.

Yeah. She's the only one you kind of have any... And they tried to build up a rivalry that was going to be, you know... Oh, yeah. It was a rivalry and then they were going to work out the differences. I think I went to the toilet during some of that. Yeah. How did that get resolved?

I think they just learned To respect each other Was there a punch Punch thrown? Can't remember Yeah Oh yeah no no Yeah

Little one Like MMA's the big one Okay Yeah Good fun Yeah Did you see the twist coming That Charlie Day

Was behind it all along? I kind of did But only because I remember thinking that should be a twist of the first one. Right. Because they be meld, mind melds. And I'd forgotten this with the kaiju in the first one.

And I thought, surely there's got to be some kind of blowback from that. It's very Starship Troopers 3. Okay, for sure. Which if you've never seen that, that monster that they, the brain bug that they captured in the first one, in the third one is brainwashing a general. In this movie, there is a scene where the recruits train with a disembodied brain.

What? Who was that? It was called Sarah, I think. Was it, was it Emily or something? I can't remember. Okay. But I don't, was that a character? Was that someone from the?

I don't know. I don't know. And who, did somebody volunteer for this? Someone should... Like, my life sucks, but I enjoy being a disembodied brain. Yeah, I don't know. It must have been a callback. Yeah, right.

I really should have watched the first one, but I didn't want to. No, exactly. There you go. This movie's going to suffer a little bit because nobody wants to re-watch the first one. What else? What else? Yeah, no, I didn't mind that twist. Did you see that coming with the Charlie Days really working for monsters?

No. Because on... Even when he got to his apartment, he started talking to himself? To his weird brain girlfriend. But before you saw the brain girlfriend? No. Because I thought maybe something was going to happen, like somebody was cheating on him.

Like somebody was cheating. Okay, right. His girlfriend was cheating on him with somebody else. Because that was the... It was that kind of... was that setup i think i felt weird as soon as he walked in all right okay and the way he was kind of standoffish and yeah i just thought there was something up with him yeah i wasn't 100 sure because i couldn't really remember the first one that there was going to be that but yeah yeah okay and so ultimately their plan the

the precursors the the aliens their plan was to terraform Earth. Yes. Probably could have done that without the monsters, to be honest. Run a volcano. Probably could have just gone to the volcano. Maybe put a hat and a trench coat on and just go to the volcano. They were going through the Pacific Rift to go to the volcano. Could have put on a trench coat and a hat is all I'm saying. On a kaiju.

A really big hat and a really big trench coat. A big hat. You're going to bring the hat with you? Yeah. None of those guys wore clothing. That's true. And it a big hat? Are you going to bring the hat with you? Yeah. None of those guys wore clothing. That's true. And it would have come out really damp as well, I guess. That's true. Yeah.

Also, this has been talked about before, but you could just... You should just stand your Jaegers over that rift. Like, why are you letting them get the cities? That's true. Just build your base right next to it.

Yeah, that's true. Just wait there. Or put a big sword over it. I was going to say, take the budget for all your Jaegers, build like a big cork. Yeah. Or build a big sword over it i was gonna say take the big take the budget for all your jaegers build like a big cork yeah or build a big like cheese grater and they just slice right through it on the way right through it yeah exactly i don't know man yeah i'm not in it it seems the most ineffective way is a big mouse trap snap probably more of a rat trap yeah yeah because they're more dangerous. A big...

A rabbit trap. A big container of like a sweet goo. Yeah. A sweet goo and you put it around the breach and they go back and the kaiju eat the sweet goo and they're like, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. And then they go back to the breach and then they're poisoned

because there was poison in the goo. Ah, but they don't go back in the breach. No, they'd want to bring the goo back to their friends. Oh, because that's like that ant rib stuff. Ant rib, yeah. I get you. Okay. All right, so sweet poison goo.

Yes, correct. Okay, I'm with you. I'm with you. What do you think about all the... And I also think they laid pretty well the idea that the CEO of the Xiao Industries was going to be the villain. Yeah, but then she was the good guy, I guess. She let her hair down.

Even though I don't really... I didn't even realize it was going to be a main player, I guess. Yeah, right. Even at the end. I'm like, could this have been someone else? Even when she saved the day, you were like, I'm still not sure she's a main player in this. No, I didn't really feel like that.

Did it feel like that for you? I think that would have been maybe a better role for the sister if she had been alive. Because it's somebody you care about. Or one of the mad scientists or whatever. I think maybe it could have been a case of this was the role for the sister. Yeah. But we need some dramatic dramatic tension in act two so we'll kill her and then who else is left yeah i guess the ceo of this company i guess what about ron perlman what about crispin glover

yeah uh so charlie day is so it's also sort of implied that he's still good but he's been manipulated yes so he's very unhappy yes about what he's still good, but he's been manipulated. So he's very unhappy about what he's having to do sometimes. Now, do you think that this is a... People have suggested on Twitter that this is going to be a frontrunner for this coming year's Our Award for the Game being on, a ham-fisted attempt to develop a franchise or the next sequel? I don't know if it's more the game is on for Tomb Raider.

Yeah, right. They're's more the game is on for Tomb Raider. Yeah, right. They're both not that game is on. And because I also, it's unclear at this point whether either of these will or will not get sequels. It didn't feel forced in the way that our previous Game of On, Game of On winners.

That's true because the through line that Charlie Day is crazy is the backbone of this movie it's the whole yeah premise so the idea that if he if he turned crazy right at the end if he was helping them out the whole way yeah and he helped save the day and then he's like but now i'm gonna bring more evil you'd be like well why is he why did he save the day in the first place kind of thing yeah so uh yeah so i don't think i i think maybe tomb raider is the front runner at this point yeah not because it was bad necessarily winner but it was also because i think

it was the most pandering yeah she's like check out the guns just like i have in the video game in the previous movies look at this look at me look at my gun i'll take two yep exactly and also she had triangle boobs i don't know if you saw that very pandering Mason very nice yeah no but I'm not I don't think it's probably it's looking pretty unlikely I'd imagine

or maybe depending but that we're going to get a sequel to this yes but I still wouldn't necessarily say that it failed I wouldn't mind one I'd like to see more

robots versus robots well this is why I wanted an Independence Day resurgence at the end they're like we're going to go into space and fight a space battle yeah yeah yeah

show me the space battle movie. Yeah, right. Jesus. Yeah, they should have done that right at the start. Yeah, but this for me, I didn't get to the end and go, oh, I would have preferred the rift travel through and that. That's true, yeah. I didn't think that.

So they're going to go through the other world and just smash it to bits. Nice. Cool. I don't remember there being anything stable to stand on. It just looked like a big red squishy world. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But maybe that's where they're all lined up lined up maybe outside of that there's like trees and

shit hopefully yeah i hope i hope it's yeah it's just it looks exactly like earth there's just buildings and trees or whatever it's the same it's just in reverse great yeah anyway uh as far as a peter peter overton film it's probably. What else has he done? That's a good question. He sounds like a guy who should be directing like an Anne of Green Gables. Peter Overton sounds like a, you know? Do you want me to check? He sounds like he should be doing a Hayley Atwell period drama on the BBC. Directed by Peter Overton.

Peter Overton. All right, let me check his IMDB. Maybe I'll just ask him directly on Twitter. Oh, wait, no. I see what you're saying there. No, no, no. I misunderstood that joke. I thought you were saying he's the director.

No. I tuned out for a minute. The director was Stephen S. DeKnight, who did the Daredevil stuff. Oh, yeah, that's right. Peter Robertson's done a bunch of stuff. How about this? He's been self in 60 Minutes.

Of course. The TV series In Conversation with Alex Malley. He's nine newsreader. He's in the TV series V from 2010. Oh, with the space reptiles. Correct. He's in Cops LAC from 2010. I remember Cops LAC.

I don't know what that one was. You've seen Cops LAC. There's a scene in it. Is that the sniper guy? No, Cops LAC had a scene where there's only one extra in the background and he just keeps going back and forth. It's in the background and he just keeps going back and forth. It's just an office and he just keeps going back and forth.

I don't remember that. Oh, we saw it together. Did we? It was incredible. I don't remember that at all. I'm going to get that DVD and we're going to watch it. He's also in Rescue Special Ops, a TV series. Yep.

From 2009 to 2011. Cops LAC had Brooke Satchwell in it. Okay. Oh, I know. I remember that one. And then he was in the Wolf Creek TV series, which a good friend of the show, Charlie Clawson, is in also. Yeah, that's right.

Yeah. There you go. So that's probably quite like Wolf Creek, but it's the best movie that he's been in. Correct. Good. That's the end of this, isn't it? Yes.

Yes, it is. Oh, I got some reviews here from Jeet says, Hey guys, just saw Pacific Rim. I think people can finally stop giving Superman shit over the collateral damage he caused because this was bad. Also Rim I think people can finally stop giving Superman shit over the collateral damage he caused because this was bad also I think

we have a winner for a movie in which the game was on award we will revisit this at the end of the year obviously we could feel differently there's got to be

some stuff coming up that is going to be I hope so I hope this isn't it I want something more gamers on than this yeah for sure could be Venom

yeah absolutely yeah if we get a carnage appearance right at the end then the game is on than this yeah for sure could be venom yeah absolutely yeah if we get a carnage appearance right at the end yeah then the game is definitely on uh josh said a pacific room uprising was about as good as i expected to be what do i think the story was the apocalypse was cancelled but it tried to reschedule it and humanity had to cancel their reservations again and now the game is on and humanity is on the offensive uh benjamin says just came from pacific room uprising and personally I enjoyed it. It's like from the

poorly paced joke and common big action movie cliches. So I'd give it a 3.5 Yeagers. P.S. I would have given it a 4 out of 5 but the end scene

setting up the sequel was shit. So there you go. And that's Pacific Rim Uprising. Love it. The film. You know what it's

time for now. Oh, it's time for our famous segment What We Readin'. What We're Gonna' What We Gonna Read nice I'm doing the thing what are we reading

today Mason what have you been reading the TV show Santa Clarita Diet is back on Netflix new season season 2

any good I like the first season it's very good it's very funny yeah I maybe didn't appreciate it when I watched the first season but definitely in the second one everybody does everybody's funny and everybody has a good performance sure but especially Timothy Oliphant as a man who is just barely holding on to his

sanity at all times yeah right he's ready to snap yeah at all times if you watched it all I'm not a hundred percent there I'm like five in I think great and there's probably ten yeah yeah I'll not 100% there. I'm like five in, I think. Great. And there's probably 10. Yeah. Yeah, it's a good show. Yeah, I'll definitely get around to that. I enjoy the first one quite a lot. Yeah.

How many, do you think it's as good as the first season? Yes. The daughter's quite funny. She's Australian, isn't she? That's Liv Hewson. I know Liv. What's she like? She's funny.

I think she's crap. Wow. I didn't hear that. She's very nice. Yes. She has a good accent. She does stand up as well. Yeah.

Comedian. Comedian. Good stuff. I watched the first episode of She's very nice. Yes. She has a good accent. She does stand-up as well. Yeah. Comedian. Good stuff. I watched the first episode of Krypton. Oh, yes. Because I heard it was good. No, you heard it was not terrible. That's what you heard. Maybe.

No, I heard it was good. And it's not bad. I will be watching the second episode. There's time travel. Wow. They bring in a dude from modern day Earth. Here's the thing, though. Go on.

And I've been thinking about this because apparently Brainiac is one of the villains. Yes. And I guess he's part of Kryptonian history to some degree. Yes. But it seems odd to me that the first thing you do in a series set in the past is introduce modern day characters and existing villains. Well, it seems like there's a situation where this isn't the Brainiac from the past. This is Brainiac coming back to make sure Superman doesn't.

But that's what I'm saying. If the most interesting part of your show set in the past is stuff from the present... Make it in the present. I understand. I completely agree. Or think of some fun stuff to do in the past. Yes.

I don't want the future of superman to be involved in this the first episode of this season okay fair call fair call but i think it's it makes it it gives it a more interesting element than what it was initially but it's also it starts with the house of l gets stripped of its rank and name and all its privileges and it's basically wiped from kryptonian history. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I find that side of it interesting. And then you've got the element of Brainiacs coming. And the Krypton is kind of a mix between the Zack Snyder and there's a little bit of Richard Donner in it.

Yeah, okay, right. I quite like it. Like considering the budget, it's a TV budget, it looks pretty good. I mean, there's a bit of kind of like we're just in a grey alley. I was going to say, do you feel like it's a more livable world? Because like the Man of Steel, Krypton, it's just weird platforms and crystals. How would you live in it?

Yeah. And pin art and dragonflies that you take to work. Does it feel like you could... What do people do in this universe? They drink. There's like bars and games. Okay, nice. All right. And they make out and stuff They drink. There's like bars and games. Okay, nice. Nice, all right.

And they make out and stuff. Nice. There's the Zods. The Zods are about. Okay. There's some kind of leader. Some kind of weird cult religious leader has taken over Krypton. Because like the grandfather of Superman.

Yep. This is at the very start, so slight spoiler alert. He's put to death because they're like, say that there's nothing else in the universe and he's like fuck you and so they kill him and uh because i guess kryptonians the the idea the reason they all die yeah when krypton explodes spoiler alert for the final episode uh is that they had a space program they went out into space they were like nothing's as interesting as where we live. So we come back and then they dismantle their space program kind of thing. Yeah, that's it.

I guess it's, yeah. Because they're dummies. They're dummies. Exactly. In a way, they're all dummies. It's always been like, hey, and also your planet's going to explode. And they're like, unlikely. Yeah.

But then it generally happens. A lot of our pin art says it is not going to explode. I don't care how many Kung fu moves Russell Crowe can do. I don't believe him. But no, I think as someone who didn't care about this, and the fact that I'm going to watch another episode is pretty surprising. But as someone who loves Superman. Yeah.

Yeah. Okay. Do we see any Superman stuff? Yes. You see his cape. The guy brings it. There's a character from the modern day. Okay.

Is it Jimmy Olsen? It's not Jimmy Olsen. Okay. But he brings it. There's a character from the modern day. Okay. Is it Jimmy Olsen? It's not Jimmy Olsen. Okay. But he brings it and it's kind of dripping away at the bottom. It's like, when this cape runs out, Superman's dead. Oh. And he's like... Maybe I will give it a go then.

It sounds intriguing. I think I've told you all the key points. Yeah, you sure have. But it's... I'll be surprised by none of it. I'm checking out. I also bought the game A Way Out, which is a only co-op based prison escape game. Oh, yes.

It's on the PS4. Who are you playing that with? I'm going to play with my brother. Not randos on the internet? Fuck no. You could though. But I won't. Okay.

And the brother you don't like, just so we're clear. Oh, that's a shame. The other one doesn't play video games. But yeah, so we're going to give that a go. Oh, so you haven't played it yet? No. How does the co-op work? It's kind of like Uncharted, but it's like, okay, we're going to go to this prison. You go get the key and I'll go beat up this guard or whatever. I haven't played it yet? No. How does the co-op work? It's kind of like Uncharted, but it's like, okay, we're going to go to this prison.

You go get the key and I'll go beat up this guard or whatever. I haven't played it. I don't know if that's a specific moment in it. Also, it's not 150 hours. It's like eight. And that is very appealing to me. Okay, right. So it's not a game where there's an assortment of maps.

No, it's linear. It's like Prison Break. It's exactly like, except it's like the 60s or something. So there's no cell phones and rewiring doors you just club and guards and drive and pick up trucks are you wearing

a stripy jumpsuit I think so maybe I don't know I don't think so actually one of them also has an enormous nose like too big for a man okay

they could have scaled it back is it like caricatures or is it no that's why it looks weird okay that's interesting anyway

have you played Cuphead no it looks great it does look great yeah I like the art style it looks to me like a game that I would find a nightmare to play

yes it's that bullet hell kind of thing yes exactly which I'm on board for for about the first two minutes yeah

and I'm like no this is not for me I'm not the kind of person who's like well it's like with Dark Souls or whatever I don't even know they're great

it's like you know if you play a hundred hours of this you'll be really good like no well i'm not gonna do that exactly i don't yeah i don't have the time let's give it a go oh one more quick thing here yes the lights camera podcast we talked about this before the show mason but it wasn't recorded uh we're doing a bit of a team barely counts uh to do a it's like well what have they called it i know that i don't want to take a stab at it for nothing. Oh, yeah. The Avengers Infinity War Death Pool.

Okay. And I'll link it below. But basically, there's prizes they're going to be giving away. We can't take credit for that, Mason. We're contributing zero prizes. I've been on the show before a couple of times. I'm sure some may know. They're giving away Marvel merchandise like Funkos, action figures, and some other stuff

to the winner. And the idea is you pick four people from Infinity War who are going to die. Yep. And if you get the... And it's all mapped out on this Google form, points and whatnot. Like some are worth more than others. If you're like, well, the Vision's going to die, but that looks likely, then that's those points or whatever.

Okay. And the highest score gets wins. Also, if you pick somebody who doesn't die even one you're out okay I like this and the other thing is what else was there

there was one more thing if somebody dies and comes back it still counts as a death okay right so I'll link that below it's a great show worth checking out

and if you want to win some cool things that does sound interesting because that's good because you have to sort of ride the line of who's worth more exactly exactly you know right it's really well put together so yeah interesting because that's good because you have to sort of ride the line of who's worth more exactly

exactly you know right it's really well put together so yeah it's a great show pepper potts zero points we know she's gonna die yes that's right is she on here actually happy hogan gonna live forever he's got a trek across the city that's true happy's hoagies happy's bloody hogan's mate but yeah good on jeff for sending that through He's a good dude And you should go on that show Actually Mason Fine What are you doing right now? I'm on this show

Oh okay And after this I'm going to go to sleep That's fun Yeah Right here In your house Cool

I've got my blankie already You do Ready to go What's the time for now? Oh it's time for letters I think Yeah That's also ready to go Yeah

The classic one was Letters Oh letters We love you Some letters They're only A day for letters, I think. Yeah. That's also ready to go. Yeah. The classic one was Letters, oh letters We love you Some letters They're only A day My way

I know they're here right now. We're going to do letters. If you want to reach the show, hashtag weeklyplanetpod on Twitter and we'll read some out. You can also email weeklyplanetpod at gmail.com

That's correct. And some of these things will be read out by some of us. Both of us. This is a letter from Marlon Jean or Marlon Jean. Great. He asks...

Like Jean Reno? Yes. Like Jean-Claude Van Damme? All those things. Good. He's got a bit of the Jean... He looks like a Jean. Has he got jaundice?

He's got jaundice. Exactly right. Yeah. What's the cure for jaundice? Jaundice? He's got Jaundice. Exactly right. Yeah. What's the cure for Jaundice? Jaundice? Yeah. Something not French. That's probably true.

Yeah. Freedom fries. Eat some freedom fries, Jaune. Anyway, he's wondering if we would consider an episode of Wes Anderson movies. Oh, because of other dogs. Would a Wes Anderson superhero movie work? I've seen people have made fan edits or fan films like what if the x-men were where's anderson or whatever yeah uh yeah i think it could uh-huh if you did like a weird

picked like a weird legion style yeah okay because a lot of yeah a lot of a lot of those shows work with a kind of anachronistic what if you did underdog no and also underdogs being done and was perfected that's true so why would you bother what about fantastic four yeah he's done fantastic mr fox yeah why not fantastic mr four why not fantastic mr comma reed richards he could use the same puppets exactly exactly what if he did like uh let's get mr fox and put some gray in his temple that's all you need you got mr fantastic what if he did like the aven get Mr. Fox And put some grey in his temples That's all you need You got Mr. Fantastic What if he did like

The Avengers Pets or whatever But in stop motion Okay yeah right But you're talking I'm assuming we're talking about I'm talking live action I think you could definitely Do a Fantastic Four

Mr. Fox What else could he break out He could probably do something Modern day as well maybe Yeah Something quirky Do you think You could

I don't think you could go Hey make an MCU film No I think you could, I don't think you could go, Hey, make an MCU film. No, I think you'd have to go make a weird X-Men film or a, or a lesser known, like an image property or something like that. Cause every,

like he's got that anachronistic style. Yeah. Like a lumberjanes. Yeah. Okay. Sure. Something like that. That would work.

May. Ooh. And that's the thing. Like I also feel like it's's everything's quirky and everything's a black comedy yeah right what about black hammer oh yeah anderson okay yeah it could work that'd be great i guess because it kind of have to be throwbacky yeah well black hammer is throwback that's true yeah let's say black hammer then okay and what else is throwback-y? What about Starman, your favorite superhero? No, because the...

I think he is too earnest. Yeah, right. I think the stuff set in the past would work, but I think the modern day stuff. Okay, fair point. He's too cool and grungy. Do you do like a slice of life one? Like a ghost world, for example.

Like something like that would work. Yeah. Right. Uh-huh. But they've, they've perfected that in underdog. That's very true. Do you think you go something like that? Yeah, maybe. I mean, that's not superhero.

Yeah. Right. Uh-huh. But, uh, yeah. If anyone has suggestions, I would love to hear them. Please tell us. It's gotta be something. Patsy Walker.

Okay, cool. Hellcat. Yeah. But it's been done. Yeah. It's been done. I think it's a shame that would be a good one yeah yeah but you can't you can't throw back to her because she's not she wasn't

that character she's for anybody who doesn't know um i think we mentioned this before but on jessica jones we have rachel evans what's that yeah oh yeah the rachel woods no the australian Evans? What's her name? Oh yeah, Rachel Woods? No. The Australian one? Yes. She plays Trish Walker who started out in the comic books as Patsy Walker who was like a teen romance character who eventually became a superhero in the 60s called Hellcat.

It's not the one that I said. Yeah, right. Rachel Taylor. Rachel Taylor, there you go. Australia's Own. Australia's Own. So yeah. And you can't do Riverdale anymore

Because that's That's been done Don't know Maybe like a man from uncle Kind of situation Yeah right But that's been done isn't it That's been done

Get smart has been done That's been done 60s Agents of Shield Okay yeah That's my pick You've done it 1960s Agents of Shield I like that

Everybody's got a flying car John Slattery There's so Yes There's so many flying cars What's the transition of John a flying car. John Slattery. There's so many flying cars. What's the transition of John? When's the John Slattery turning point? Because he's Dominic West.

No, he's... What's his face? Dominic West. No, that's... Not Dominic West. Dominic... Cooper. Dominic Cooper.

And then he's John Slattery all of a sudden. John Slattery with brown hair. And then he's regular John Slattery. With grey hair. Then he's a weird virtual reality hologram. When is he a hologram? In Civil War. Remember?

The start. Is he? Yeah. Oh, he is too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What fun. I'm sorry, he's killed by the Winter Soldier, then he's a hologram. Good work, Mason.

Okay, my pick is a wacky Agents of Shield 1960s movie I'm going to say one of the things I said earlier but I can't remember which one nice alright

but should we do a Wes Anderson episode have you seen everything I haven't seen everything I don't think I've seen Bottle Rocket but I think I've seen I've also never seen

Bottle Rocket yeah and I haven't seen the new one obviously but I think I've seen most of that I really I maybe haven't seen Life Aquatic

I really hated the Royal Tenenbaums when it came out I didn't like that either I might need most of that I really I really I maybe haven't seen Life Aquatic I don't think I've seen that one I really hated the Royal Tenenbaums when it came out I didn't like that either I might need to give that another look in okay yeah alright

okay let's watch everything I really like Fantastic Mr Fox yep and I liked The Dutch Ealing Limited a lot sure and Life Aquatic so alright

we'll get to this I watched half of the one in the hotel and then I think I moved and then I didn't watch the other half and now I gotta go back and watch the whole thing. But I really liked it from what I saw.

Yeah. Good work, everybody. This was from Scott Sky. Would you rather see David Ayer's original version for Suicide Squad? No. Whatever the option is, I'm taking the second one. Or Zack Snyder's cut of Justice League. God damn it.

You finally have my lanyard. It's over there or I don't want to say oh there's a third option I guess I'm all in I don't ever even want to think about DC right now

I'm ready for Infinity War yeah that one yeah I think the David Ayer one would just be more people running through alleys with baseball bats but I would like to see

and even though it doesn't exist yep the Zack Snyder grim gritty Justice League sadness. I want to see what he would have done. Yeah, I kind of do as well. I don't think it'd be better than what we've got,

to be honest. Because as you know, we both had fun with it. I just want to see the original version of Justice League with all the dialogue they cut out of the movie. They cut out of the trailer. Okay, sure, yeah. I want to see Cyborg say his classic line, league with all the dialogue they cut out of the movie they cut out of the trailer okay sure yeah i want to see you want to see a brown i want to say cyborg say his classic line you should probably move you know with no affect whatsoever yeah yeah that would be the cyborg mate what do you want

yes yeah what would you rather him say it like this you should probably move do you want that yeah okay yeah that's how i'd do it ernie, Hey guys, since you're both on the little bit older side, like myself. All right, mate, sort it out. Steady on. Come on, mate. Do you remember? You're only as young as you feel. And we have a certain youthful exuberance.

Look at our hats. Are they pointed forwards? No, they're pointed backwards. Every day I look at myself in the mirror and I feel like I look older than the previous day. Wow. And I know that's impossible. Yeah.

But is it? I mean, it's literally true, but no, I think that's all mental. Do you remember an 80s kids movie called Monster Squad? The Monster Squad. A kid in horror types of situation movie, which makes me wonder if you'd like to see any of these 80s kids horror movies remade. I didn't see it. Did you see it?

I also didn't see it. Yeah. And I got no love for any of them. What were the other ones that there was? I remember like Steven Spielberg's Amazing Stories. Stories, yeah. But that was more. Uh-huh.

I don't think I remember watching a lot of kids horror. I remember there was a lot of kids horror shows, like Goosebumps and that kind of stuff. But I don't remember watching any... Do you remember any 80s horror kids movies? Not really, no. I don't think... I mean, horror has never been my thing generally. So in answer to your tweet...

Nah. No. No. To all of it. Exactly. I thought you might have known what that was. No. I've got a backup tweet though

okay I'm ready in case we did see it but we're so old yeah and we've forgotten yeah Nicholas says

what is your opinion on Vin Diesel's Riddick franchise would be interested to hear your thoughts on both films and the video games both films

there's three films there is three films from Sweden maybe she's not including Pitch Black what did you say Nicola or Nicholas? It's Nicholas. N-I-K-L-A-S.

That's him. That's him for sure. He's possibly not including Pitch Black. That's true. Even though now it's the Chronicles of Riddick and Pitch Black. But I kind of like them all, I think. I kind of do too. I think if we'd seen more, I think I would like the universe more as a whole

but I think given that we've only seen three I think I don't know and the video games they drag a little I feel the last one he's just escaping from that world for like two hours

well in the first one he was escaping from that world for two hours but in the middle we get the weird one where he fights the underworld undead fleet of things remember that was yeah yeah i like the character i like the idea i like the character i mean he's too he's kind of ridiculous i mean he's more yeah thank you he's more he becomes more ridiculous especially in the third one where he, a lesbian has sex with him because he's so great or whatever. But he's kind of, he feels way less dangerous now. It's more of a kind of a joke than it was. That's true.

Because I didn't really know Vin Diesel in the first one. He's a bit leaner, a bit meaner. But in the third one, it's kind of a, it's kind of like, I'm going to kill you with that coffee. Exactly. And I think the bad aster of the character is is tipped beyond parody i don't know where it is anymore yeah kind of thing i don't know i would see another one yeah i would too make it weirder though don't trap him on another planet give give

us another weird underverse that one was really expensive the underworld one i'm not surprised pretty good though pretty good though i really liked the first one especially when I first saw it yeah it's aliens but it's dark but I also much prefer the idea of him being an underdog

like remember in the middle one where it turns out he has ultimate powers yeah he's the king of whatever yeah but in the third one

he's not the king yeah tap the powers out I think he did tap them out he did yeah continue in that vein just give him just be this guy who is dangerous but he continue in that vein just give him just be this guy who is dangerous but he's got the whole universe against him i think that's fun those

games are particularly the first one which i've never played is was really well loved for like hand-to-hand and stealth mechanics right okay first person but i've never probably stab a guy in the neck stab a guy in the neck yeah he's a cup to kill or whatever and remember sometimes he's got a cgi dog in some of them. And sometimes he gets his eyes, he gets night vision eyes because of back alley surgery. And sometimes he gets glow in the dark eyes because he's the last of a magical race of magical elf people or something.

Which is it? I don't know. I prefer it to be the back alley surgery one. Didn't he get them from a dog? Because the dogs have the same eyes? What? Because it goes into that prison in the second one. Yes. I think it was the surgery one. Didn't he get them from a dog? Because the dogs have the same eyes? What? Because it goes into that prison in the second one. Yes.

I think it was the second one. And there's a dog in there that has his eyes. It's like a crystal dog or something. So in the game, in the first movie, it's implied that they're like back alley modifications. And in the game, he gets them in prison. Right, okay. But in the second movie, it turns out it's his race. race gives him the powers yes because he's a he's a magical egg elf is it you're gonna

say magical egg yeah magical egg elf yeah anything else no but i'd like to see another one here's another letter this is from josh rs all right um we asked a while back what does a producer do oh yeah he's produced two micro budget brit British films this past year. He handled casting, locations, helping craft the script, communicate with the funders, take work off the director so they can concentrate on the performance of the actors and concentrate on the scene.

Makes sense. In bigger production, the producer will manage people in charge of those departments. Yes, yes. Executive producers are funders or a name attached to sell the film. Okay, cool.

There you go. John Boyega, producer on Pacific Rim Uprising. Very good. Thank you, Josh. What were those movies called? He doesn't say. Okay.

Then who's to say what they are? I'm going to assume a Fawlty Towers remake and a Some Mothers Do Have Them remake. Oh, my two favourite things. That's right. I think that's the show, Mason.
