This episode is brought to you by harry's razors you can have a razor any day of the month including tuesday of the show it's late here though that's exactly how they wanted me to say it so yeah they were like they were like you get you're not getting anything you're not getting the money for this unless you use our new patented phrase that an insane man wrote for us a man on the edge losing his will to live let's podcast yeah let's drink some water nice 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 is always my co-host, Nick Mason. I'm curious. Sometimes we do the ad read, then there's a minute, there's a tiny bit of silence. Yeah. Then there'll be a little aside and then you'll start the show.

What happens to all the little asides in the middle? Do you paste the theme songs? Sometimes they they go it depends how it plays out sometimes i remove them if i want to kind of get on with it but often they'll just kind of remain or i'll trim it down a bit yeah yeah how about that's how about that super cut of us the interstitial between the ad and the and the just us coughing and drinking. Hang on. I'm going to get some water. Hang on. Oh, wait. I forgot to... I'll just check the thing. Okay.

Yeah. Good. I'm good. Yeah. I got to pee and then there's... There's 40 minutes of silence. Yes. Yeah.

What do we got, Mason? Straight to the news? Yeah. Oh, first of all, our charity campaign is still going. You can donate below. You can win a bunch of prizes. We're at a number. I don't know what that is.

We're at nearly $20,000. We'd like to push it over. We can push it over this weekend. If we push it over $20,000. Not this weekend. This week. This weekend. Okay. And then we'll start recording and then we'll start getting wheels on the road. Then we'll start recording. We're not doing any more show. We're stopping here. As soon as I'm looking at this live,

as soon as it gets to $20,000, we're going to start again. That's exactly right. Putting her foot down. This is a live call-in show. You best believe it. People do that in podcasts as well. Can you imagine?

Can you imagine the stress on me? That would kill me. Do you think that would kill me if I had to do that part of it as well? Like organize? Because I'm just saying, because I know you wouldn't. And I'm not expecting that you would set up the live chat feature. That's not on you. Why should you do that? Oh, you'd be maintaining. You wouldn't want me'm not expecting that you would set up the live chat feature that's not on you why should you do that but you'd be maintained you wouldn't want me to make to do the live chat

you don't want to do that do you no but i'd be like the secretary okay fine you know if we do it you could i can lean over my horn room glasses every once in a while and the bandwidth alone to like make that happen and this whole thing doesn't fall down because i was trying to watch the logies in the other room for anybody who who doesn't know, imagine the Emmys, except nothing is good. Imagine the Emmys, except instead of the glitz and glamour, they filmed it from the other side. You can see the exposed boards and the strings and sandbags holding stuff up. That's what the Logies is. And to be fair, there is actually some good stuff on there.

Also, it sounds like Booger. Yes, it does. It's a bad name. That's what the Logies is. And to be fair, there is actually some good stuff on there. Also, it sounds like booger. Yes, it does. It's a bad name. It's a terrible name. Anyway, Avengers 4 Mason. The title may have been leaked by the cinematographer, whose name I don't know,

but he's put it on his kind of list of things that he's worked on. And it looks like it might be Avengers Endgame. That's not super unimaginative, is it? I'll start that sentence again because it's very vague as to what I was saying there. It's super unimaginative. Correct. That's what I was saying.

Yeah. Cool. All right. Sorry. Do you want to say it? No, no, you got it. You said it better than I ever said. How about I edit me saying it over?

Oh, that'd be great. And then you edit you saying it. Then you keep you in saying it again. Okay. It's got to be. I'll definitely do it. and then you edit you saying it then you keep you in saying it again okay it's got to be but i mean because the the apparently the russo brothers wouldn't reveal the title of avengers 4 before infinity war came out because it was a spoiler for infinity war but endgame isn't really a spoiler

and that's the thing it might not actually be the official title it could be a working title they could even if it, they could change it. They could, yeah. It's a year out. I think based on the fact that they've been using comic book story arc titles and not, that aren't necessarily that close to the actual comic book storyline, I think it's probably going to be called Avengers Disassembled. Okay, but aren't they reassembled?

That's what I'm saying. They're disassembled at the start. What if it was called Avengers Disassembled but okay but aren't they reassembled that's what I'm saying they're disassembled at the start what if it was called Avengers Assemble oh it can't be because the British title for the first Avengers is called Avengers Assemble that's their fucking problem isn't it though yeah they're we're renaming again in the UK is it really yeah it's called Avengers Assemble to disassociate it from the Avengers, the British Avengers. Top Hat Avengers, yeah. Okay. Bowler Hat Avengers. The Uma Thurman one. Yeah, that great British institution, Uma Thurman's The Avengers, yes. That's it. There's also a line in Avengers Infinity War where Doctor Strange says something like,

we're in the endgame now or something to that effect. Oh, yeah, that's true. Okay, well, in that case, that could be a spoiler potentially. But I'm with you. I'm not 100% convinced this is it. It sounds like the title that would be put on a fake poster for Avengers 4 on Instagram. I also feel like if they didn't want it to be spoiled, maybe only a few people know this and it's never been written down. So it might only be one of those things where, because they don't need to push out any of this stuff until the end of the year.

That might be why James Gunn has his tongue cut out now. Is that why? Yeah, Marvel cut his tongue out. I thought he was doing a prank like a goof. No, no, they didn't want any secrets out. I guess because it's not a very good prank, is it, when you think about it? No, it's just the name of a movie. We're all going to figure it out eventually.

I meant cutting one's tongue out. Oh, that's a bad prank also, yeah. Kevin Feige has also said, which I guess this is sort of a spoiler for Avengers 4, that Doctor Strange 2 is definitely happening. Right. So, yeah, I'm not surprised by this. I think I need to watch that movie again because I think I liked it more than other people maybe liked it.

I re-watched it and there's a lot of good stuff in it. Yeah. I was just disappointed because there wasn't more magic-y magic in it. It was just firecracker kung fu, which they've since resolved in Infinity War because he does actual magic. He does so much firecracker kung fu. Yeah. He does everything in that.

He's got the crimson bands. He's doing all sorts of crazy shit. Oh, that's good. Yeah. That is peak Doctor Strange. And that's not even top-tier Doctor Strange. He's still learning shit. Yeah, right.

So, and also, he said this about it, it'll be a number of years from the first Strange, and yet he's still learning shit yeah right so and also he said this about it it'll be a number of years from the first strange and uh yet he's a big part of the infinity war so i plus he's dead plus he's dust in a box that's right not even in a box can we talk can we openly talk about infinity war spoilers at this point because i talk about it a little bit in my ant man review which you can find linked below um well i said at the start a spoiler for infinity war because i thought but i thought no one's gonna everyone's saying this it's out of cinemas right yeah i don't know it probably is there's probably somebody there i bet you any amount of money we have some listeners who are just like i'm waiting for

the two dollar cinema at the yeah probably which we don't get in australia which i would love if you could just we could just go to see old movies at the two dollar cinema that would be great every movie is 42 if you notice it's crazy yeah good thing uh this is my job mason and i can write off on tax if i keep the receipts which i often don't uh no it's still in cinemas oh okay so there you go that doesn't surprise me though because i think it's might be approaching a couple billion dollars i don't know where it's at but uh kevin feige's also said the reason they've gone to three movies a year is because so they can do sequels they didn't say this specifically but for movies like this yeah right you can get an ant-man sequel you can you can get new stuff and an avengers movie or a team

movie and a follow-up to thor or whatever yeah which makes sense to me yeah that's i think it's really clever the way they've done it Where they've slowly built up to three As opposed to being like We'll just do three a year from 2008 Probably not a good idea That's the end of Marvel news Mason But don't think it's the end of Marvel Because otherwise what would we do?

Oh wait there's one more piece of Marvel news They're bankrupt again They're folding Three was, they're folding. Three was the threshold. Two and a half movies was the threshold. They made two movies a year and they made those weird one shots for the DVD. Yeah.

And they put it up to three. They probably made no money. They wouldn't have made money though, right? No, surely not. Because I don't think I've ever seen one of them on a DVD. I've only seen them on YouTube or whatever. But no, I think it's also a good idea to release

the last Marvel movie of the year now or a month if you live in England which is when it's coming out there. And then you have to wait till March for the next one. Yeah, for sure. I think that's smart. When are we getting Captain Marvel? March. Oh. It's like March and then... That's the one you were referring to. That's the one. And then late April and then

Spider-Man's after that. This wait's going to be interminable. I think it's good. It's going to be March specifically. That's when it's terminable. Interminable. Yeah. Do we have any Star Wars news this week? Look, Mason, I didn't want to.

Yeah, we do. Is it specifically the Star Wars remake news? We did that last week. I know, but I'm just wondering where it's up to. Probably a billion dollars. Probably, yeah, a billion dollars. Would you want to do Star Wars News now? Could you look at, yeah, all right.

Okay. Look, I know I said no more Star Wars News, Mason. I haven't had that written here. Yes. Because there's no Star Wars for a while, but it turns out that there is some Star Wars news. Yes. Obi-Wan movie.

Really? You've turned around on it. Yep, I'm refreshed. That's Stockholm Syndrome, I think. Yeah, I think it is, yeah. Stockholm. It's home, isn't it? Because it's not home. It'sholm like i'm not saying stockholm except for that time just then

when i said yeah but you know but it's spelt yeah it's spelt home home yeah well because there's a holly holm is a he's a ufc fighter and she says home yeah but i think it's home yeah i agree i think that's but i feel weird saying it. It's Rafe syndrome. It's Rafe Fiennes syndrome. Now I understand. So the Obi-Wan movie, the rumor is that it might go to a streaming service. Oh, all right. So that's good.

I guess. I think it is. Yeah. I mean, you know. Ewan McGregor's lowered himself to streaming services. He's done TV. He did Fargo. Oh, yeah, that's true.

If they put in $80 million and they give him 10 yeah i mean what is he that's true yeah hey you we're gonna we're gonna film this show this only in like a like a magic lantern show in a shoebox but you get 10 million dollars you're like yeah all right i'm just trying to look up the uh the remake the last jedi to find out how much money there is if you could that's that's mainly what i was going for here yeah bearing in mind this is money pledged no actual money has changed hands and as soon as it does it's going to disappear i can't wait if it yeah yeah but no they've got investors already oh yeah that's so true i can never remember the name of the twitter handle for this why do we even report on this i love it so much though i really do i'm so excited i want to see it yeah me too it's never going to get to that and because it's all like it's been pointed out on twitter any number of

times this week every fan idea for this remake it's that it's just weird fan service yeah it's all just like all right we're going to change the last one laura dern's out but in the final battle there's going to be it's going to look like it's curtains for everybody, but then Admiral Ackbar's going to go, it's a trap, and he's going to spring a trap. It's like, that's not good. It's just you want a catchphrase. Yeah, exactly.

That's it. Yeah, that's right. You want the fish who said the previous thing to say the thing again. Okay, so it's up to $396,102,520 dollars. Well, that's way more than the original one cost. This backer, this mystery backer is going to have to double that as well. I thought he was only backing up to 25 million. Oh, he was too.

You're right. Well, then we're up to three. What is it again? 396 million. Okay. Well, we're up to 424 million dollars. So that's enough, I think. They could probably do two remakes.

What they could do is they could do two remakes and then they could take the best bits from both or they could mash both remakes up. They could. Yeah. What's also weird about this is- You know what they could do? What's that?

They could remake The Last Jedi and they could remake the as yet to be shown new season of Doctor Who with a man and then they could remake the as yet to be shown new season of Doctor Who yes with a man and then they could mash them together like a

like a t-shirt like a pop culture mashup t-shirt you want a you want a a Rupert Grint or a Ralph Fiennes yeah what are you looking for

as the as the new Doctor as the new Doctor yeah yeah Ralph Fiennes for sure yeah yeah because he's a boy yeah okay good

correct what I think is weird about this, this is all about Disney ruining Star Wars and how Star Wars sucks now. Why don't you remake Seven? Oh, yeah, for sure. Is that one good, is it? Yeah, right.

Because it's so specific. They want these specific changes to this specific movie, but not the previous Disney Star Wars movie, the new one. Yep. Fuck off. This is a fucking joke. Just an absolute waste of time uh there's also it's also rumored that obi-wan will be is rumored for the episode nine it's a force ghost okay cool

you and mcdonald or whatever he's called how are they gonna how do you think he's gonna appear i think he's gonna appear and he's gonna look like alec guinness and then he's gonna phase a little bit and he's gonna shift into young man wow that's and then he's going to phase a little bit and he's going to shift into young man. Wow. That's what I think is going to happen. Do you really think that's what's going to happen? Yeah, probably. All right.

I also think it's going to be more fan service-y. Oh, yeah. The whole thing, which can be a good thing. Yeah, yeah. Or it can be the worst thing. Do you think he's going to appear as Alec Guinness and then he's going to be like... But I feel like looking a bit younger today. No, I just think it'll be like really like a small shift. Like a blend?

Yeah. Maybe initially, but I think you're going to get a hint of it and then he's going to, he's going to change. Cause apparently the reason he wasn't put in, they didn't put one of the reasons I didn't put Ewan McGregor in the last one was because he's not Alec Guinness and it would have been weird. But according to Star Wars,

anyone can be any age. Oh, as a Force ghost? Yeah. This is their Doctor Who loophole. Yeah, exactly. Anakin Skywalker was lit on fire. Then he went, I don't like that look. I'm going to look young and handsome.

Yeah, that's right. I'm approaching my midlife crisis inside this weird Force dimension Phantom Zone prison. So I'm going to look young again. Look, I've got a Force Ghost Ferrari now. I've got a Force Ghost 20-year-old girlfriend. Speaking of movies. Yes.

There's a poster for Glass. He's done it again. I've done it again. Could that just be my transition from now on? Speaking of movies. And that works both ways because you could be like, speaking of movies, and you can talk about a movie. You can now on? Speaking of movies. And that works both ways because you could be like, speaking of movies, and you can talk about a movie.

You can be like, speaking of movies, this isn't a movie. Yeah, that's right. It's something else. There's a poster for Glam. I'm having some mental health issues. That's not a movie. For the new M. Night Shyamalan shared universe. It's finally come together.

Great. You haven't seen Split yet, have you? I haven't seen Split yet, no. Yeah. So, I mean, everybody, that's not a spoiler now because it's been so long and this movie's been announced, but Glass is a sequel to both that and Unbreakable. The poster shows a reflection of their true selves, a muscular James McAvoy, Samuel L. Jackson in a cool suit, wheelchair, Bruce Willis in a rain jacket or something.

They're true selves. They're true selves. They're true essences. Do you think Bruce Willis is strong enough to beat up James McAvoy's character? Because James McAvoy's character can crawl on the roof or something. Yeah, right. He's like a weird freak monster man. Was Bruce Willis' character in Unbreakable, he was strong,

but was he superhumanly strong? I haven't really seen it. He can bench press a lot, can't he? Yeah, I remember him being like he could – like he wasn't flip a car strong. He was just like stronger than a normal man strong. Again, I haven't seen it since it came out of the movies. Could somebody take his park in a moped and he flips that moped? Just like – Oh, yeah, probably. He's the kind of age that he would do that.

Yeah, I was going to say, I think we collectively could flip a moped. Collectively, yes, yeah. We'd probably push it from opposite ends. Yeah, exactly. And one of us would drop their end accidentally and the other one would hurt their foot. How about this for a twist? I'm ready.

Bruce Willis' character is actually his character from The Sixth Sense But he's dead Boom Yeah, but how and why? He's a ghost Yeah, no, I understand He's a ghost So, is this a prequel then?

No, no, he's dead Yeah, but no one can see ghosts But they can now Oh That's the twist I didn't realise that they could now That's the Shyamalan twist So that's going to be the twist But I thought no one could see ghosts Yeah, but they can now. That's the twist. I didn't realise that they could now. That's the Shyamalan twist. So that's going to be the twist.

But I thought no one could see ghosts. Yeah, but they can now. And everybody's like, oh. But see, that's the thing. Doesn't this movie require a Shyamalan twist? Yeah, they all require a twist. I bet that's what it is. No.

I bet it is. I think it could be set in the same universe. Yeah, right. I think we could get Hayley Joel Osment, but he's old now. Yeah, right. Because he can see ghosts ghosts which i guess is a superman he's on the team he's on the team but what team that one's a monster one's a man who crashes trains and one's bruce willis yeah what team are we talking about the thomas the tank

engine universe that's what this is that's what this is Okay and Bruce Willis is the fat controller Is that what we're talking about? Yes Okay I've been watching a lot of Thomas lately Thomas is dark Yeah like isn't there an episode They brick up

They brick up One of the engines refuses to Doesn't he refuse to leave his little depot hutch thing? I can't remember. No, he refuses to leave his little alcove thing because it's raining and he doesn't want to rust. So they brick him up inside it forever. Yeah.

And they say forever. Yeah. And he never got out. He rusted. Also, they didn't completely brick him up. He could see a little bit out. Yeah. He could see the world changing without him.

And people would go past it and be like, toot toot. Hey, dickhead. Yeah. He got that forever yeah yeah anyway you're excited for glass yeah there'll be a twist won't there that's what i'm saying maybe it's in the village like it's actually set in the year 3000 but this city is all the city itself is set in a larger village right exactly because this is his chance but i mean i guess the question is does he is this shamalan's chance to redeem himself he's kind of already yeah it's come a long way so split so i should watch split yeah you could definitely watch i don't know whether you i think people got a lot more out of it because it's a sequel than because they were surprised yeah okay but it's not it's

it's pretty it's good yeah was it a case of like This movie's fine This movie's fine Whoa whoa whoa Yeah I think there's a lot of that Yeah Okay But I'm not really sure How it works

Because when James McAvoy Changes characters Because sometimes he's a nice old lady And sometimes he's a weird lunatic Yeah right And sometimes he's a little boy He's strengthened Like physiology changes

Right Because isn't there one Who has like diabetes or something? Yeah, something like that, yeah. One needs glasses and I don't know how it works exactly. Mr. Glasses. Mr. Glasses. Oh, my God.

Maybe they were all the lady in the water. That's what I'm saying. It's all set in a swimming pool. That's what I'm saying. I don't know that one. Okay. Yeah. The Predator also got a trailer.

Movies. Speaking of movies. Yes. How's your mental health? Not great. All right. The Predator has a a... Movies. Speaking of movies. Yes. How's your mental health? Not great. All right. The Predator has a new trailer. Yep.

The big twistier is... I would argue... Spoilers. I would argue that this one shows way too much. Because there's a bigger Predator? That's the twist here. That's it. That's the whole...

It's not even that much bigger. It's a little bit bigger. I think I mean the Predators Are quite big generally Yeah they're like Seven feet tall And this one's like

Nine feet tall Yeah and he's built mate That's true I think what's interesting About the Predator movies The ones that I like Are the characters I don't care about

If you've got a Predator That can do whatever The people who are Getting murdered Need to be compelling Interesting yeah And I think this movie being a Shane Black movie, I think it's hopefully going to lean on that.

Agreed. Yeah. We've got badass Marines. Yeah. We've got Olivia Munn. She's in it. Yeah. She got a kid or something.

Who knows? Yep. Yeah. Good. Key or Peel? Yeah. No, it's Key. Thomas Jane.

Is it? Yeah. Nice, all right. Okay, I'm on board. Yeah. Yeah. Cool, man. Yeah. It's key. Thomas Jane. Is it? Yeah. Nice. All right. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Cool, man. Yeah.

Okay. And it looks like some of the humans have gotten a hold of the predator technology. They've got some predator weapons. Yeah. And maybe there was another predator on the ship or this predator came down to clean up the other predator. Okay. Because there's different subspecies of predator as well, depending on what law you're going from or what counts. I don't know.

Okay. Do you think they should bring back returning characters? They should bring back Dutch and they should bring back Danny Glover and they should bring back Adrian Brody or whatever. Yes, all those things. Adrian Brody? Is that him? Yes, it is Adrian Brody. Thinking of Adam.

Adam Brody from the O.C. Yeah, that's what I was thinking of, mate. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. thinking of Adam Adam Brody from the O.C. yeah yeah yeah but do you think you could be like Dutch at the end could be like

come in and be like my job is with the government now and this is there's a clean up or something you know see there's that fan service that's bad

I'm saying but do you think that's what's going to happen or do you think they should bring them in in some way does Shane Black and Arnold Schwarzenegger

know each other are they friends I don't know, man. Yes. Cool. Then it's definitely going to happen. It's going to be a fun little cameo. We're going to have a good time.

Yeah. I think Arnold would do it now because he's doing, you know, whatever. He's doing whatever. He's doing like commercials for Tic Tacs where he plays ping pong against some guy. Do you remember that one or whatever it was? I don't remember what it was for. Okay. So how do you feel about this Predator movie?

I'm positive on it because of who's behind it. Yeah, right. And I quite like the cast. Yeah. I don't... I'm not loving any of this stuff, but I'm not really worried. See, I get the sense that the big reveal in the movie is going to be where maybe the humans and the good guys are going to have to team up to fight the bigger Predator.

But... And that's it. Yeah. But we've just seen that. So where's any kind of weight to that? Any dramatic weight to that is gone now. Also, Predators had a bigger Predator. Do you remember?

Yeah, I remember. That was the point of that movie. Yeah. Anyway. We've done a bigger Predator. We've done heaps of Predators. We've done Predogs. We've done the Predogs.

What else do you want? We've done people being flung out of space and they're in a little box thing. Yeah. It is weird that reveal where Boyd Holbrook is going to get choked to death and then the big Predator saves him. You don't need to put that in, obviously.

That's all what I'm saying. But you could put in the big Predator and then that scene isn't like, hey, this is how he gets out of that scene. I'm saying But you could put in the big predator And then that scene isn't Like hey This is how he gets out of that scene Like I'm gonna know that going in What the fuck is wrong with people I don't know But I mean like

And also I guess there's not really anything You can put in the trailer Like any reveals Or like How do you show That there's something bigger coming In the trailer

Don't Yeah well that's what I'm talking about Because I don't think putting that in G something bigger coming in the trailer. Don't. Yeah, well, that's what I'm talking about. Because I don't think putting that in gets more people in. No. Because, I mean, here's the thing. If you want to see a bigger Predator, sit closer to the screen. Please. But if you want to see a bigger, bigger Predator,

you watch this movie and then you sit closer to the screen. And then not only is it bigger, it's double bigger. It's double bigger. It's double bigger. Yeah. I just think, look, if they want to get people into the cinema for this they should just lean on nostalgia in the trailers right because that'll do it and we wouldn't be happy about it we'd be like this looks the same or whatever but people would go and then maybe it's something different yeah i mean we are going to see it regardless but i'm a hundred yeah i'm definitely i will see all of these what would you have rather seen in this?

I don't know. I don't have any ideas. No, see, that's the thing. What kind of... Like, it's not a really diverse universe, is it? No, I kind of... Because that's the thing. And I've said this,

like, I didn't like the first Alien vs. Predator because it was set in a weird snow... Like, wasn't it... Ice pyramid. Ice pyramid, right. But I kind of would have liked to have seen this predator in space or maybe on the predator planet or something like that. Yeah, we've seen the predator planet.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I think it would have been more interesting to say, okay, in this case, what we're going to do is we're going to take a whole bunch of people and hunt them on the predator planet. I mean, but then people would say, well, that's predators, even though that's not the predator planet. But I see what you're saying.

Yeah, yeah. Like a whole planet of predators. A predator. But that's the thing. If there's six million predators, six billion predators. Yes. You can't just gun them down. No, that's true, yeah.

Because that's not what they're about. They're not cannon fodder. Yeah. You know, one of them is really bad. And if there's two, it yeah you may as well kill yourself uh-huh yeah but i'm so saying i'm saying in this society there's i mean they never follow their own rules but allegedly in the predator universe there are rules yes so i'm saying in this i'm not saying it's a six million predator pile on like half a dozen people i'm

saying it's it's a like a controlled arena it controlled arena. It's like a minotaur situation. They throw them into a maze and then they've got to fight the predators on the predator's own home planet. I think that would be interesting. Sure. Maybe a man falls in love with a lady predator. I would love that. And they kiss.

Yeah. Right? Yeah. No, I don't know. I mean, that's... That's something else. I mean, that's not a project I've been thinking about for years. Seems like it is don't know. I mean, that's... That's something else. That's not... I mean, that's not a project I've had been thinking about for years. Seems like it is.

I know, but I'm just saying, give me something. I would much rather see him... Because it's always just the Predator fighting humans on Earth. Give me something else. I'm hoping this is something else, though. Yeah, right. Okay. But that's why I like Predators as well, because that is something else.

Yeah, right. I mean, it looks like Earth because it's easier to film in a forest or whatever. Yeah, right. But there's that extra layer of we're really trapped. Yeah, for sure. Because we're not getting out of here ever. Or even out. Even if we win, we can't leave.

Yeah, that's true. Yeah. Or can they? No. I don't know. They get the ship or they blow it up. I can't remember. In a way, it's something of an unresolved cliffhanger, isn't it?

Here's something about a movie. I knew you had more news. I just wanted to point that out. Very good. Indiana Jones 5 apparently won't meet its 2020 release date. Again, kind of raising the fear that Harrison Ford's going to fly his plane into the side of a building. Oh, for sure.

So they're not currently filming this. No. So it'll probably be 2021 i guess but is the other thing john kasdan who was the writer of solo for a son of um lawrence kasdan who wrote empire strikes back and also sold a bunch of other stuff he also wrote some freaks and geek stuff in dawson's creek he's going to be writing this movie so it's going to be spielberg directing with john kasdan writing um this could this could be the blandest movie ever made i hate that look i don't i think john kasdan is a good writer uh i

do but also writing isn't genetically it's not passed down genetically no no but what i'm saying but the stuff that he's written i think there's some good stuff in i just think it's always a bland film you disagree you think it's a fun i had a fun time yeah good on you you're wrong which is now code which on this show now especially is code for this was terrible but i enjoyed it regardless but i actually think it was good and well made and you're not alone there but i think with spielberg directing it as well i just how can this be anything other than what did he do last time the post was the last ready player one? Ready Player One. It was Ready Player One. Do you remember that one?

Yes. I didn't have fun with that one, but it was better than it should have been. It was better than I thought it was going to be. Which was very bad. Yeah, very bad. Yeah. But you'd forgotten you'd seen it. I did forget I saw it, yeah.

So, what does that say? Yeah. It was so ultimately forgettable that I thought the last movie he did was a movie about like a newspaper mail room. It's so forgettable that you thought the last movie you'd seen of his was a movie you haven't seen. Yes, correct. Also, according to Spielberg, you said this before, this will be Harrison Ford's last Indiana Jones movie, I'm pretty sure, but it will certainly continue after that. I think they should do short round. I think this should be a short round series.

Yes, and you get a cool Asian guy. Yeah, Steven Yeung or Han from Tokyo Drift or whatever. Right, or the guy from Triple X. Which guy? The guy from Triple X 3. Is he the DJ? No, the other guy, the good one. I don't remember.

The guy, remember? I'm going to look him up because he's good one. I don't remember. The guy, remember? Is that... I'm going to look him up because he's really famous. And I can't remember his name. Is he in Rogue One? No, maybe. Yeah, Donnie Yen. Is Donnie Yen the right age?

He might be a bit old. Doesn't matter. Yeah. Set it now. Who cares? Yeah, no, I just mean that because he has to be the right age in relation to Harrison Ford. Oh, I see. Right, right, right.

Even though him and Sean Connery are like four months apart. Okay, so you want a passing of the torch situation? I don't care. I don't think they should make this. Okay. Imagine Donnie Yen in the hat. Looks great. It doesn't have to be a hat, though.

I don't think, I think that's a mistake to be like, let's just get someone else and give them the hat. Yeah, exactly. Why don't you give them their own hat? Like a different hat. Or no hat. Oh, like a leather biker hat. Like a leather biker hat like a leather bike exactly which is exactly what that was yeah like that was not you got to be really careful here yes you kind of got to pick an up

and comer but that everybody likes like now you couldn't put like miles tallow in because people be like what no oh yeah for sure so because that is the kind of Shia LaBeouf of now In terms of I mean what you could do Is you could just You could You could have a bridging scene Where old Harrison Ford Where he cuts the bridge Yes exactly

Exactly They all fall into crocodiles Ayyyy You could have a A bridging scene After that Where old Harrison Ford Passes the torch

To de-age Donnie Yen As a slightly older short round. Then Harrison Ford dies in the movie and in real life. And then 10 years later, it's Donnie Yen. Yeah. That's a really roundabout way to get Donnie Yen in this movie, Mason. Why wouldn't you want Donnie Yen? He's great.

I agree. That's right. Yeah. Anyway, look, I said I didn't want to see this. I do want to see this. I do want to see good Indiana Jones stuff. Yeah, right. I would love that.

I still think, because we talked about this a while back, I think they should de-age him or maybe you recast and you do maybe 30% present, 70% past. Yeah, right. Or some variation. Like the young Indiana Jones Chronicles. Yeah, but good. And edutaining.

God, that show, man. I know people remember it fondly and it's set a lot of new ground in terms of television special effects because it cost a lot of money to make. You're right. That show is shit. It's so bad. And if you remember it fondly, you've been hit in the head. I'm sorry. All right.

DC have a streaming service. It's been announced. Yep. It looks pretty good. I don't know if I'm going to rush out and get it. I'm going to see what kind of happens. I've got, I've realized at the moment, I've got Netflix, I've got Stan,

I've got Amazon Prime, I've got YouTube Red. Oh, you're the one who paid for YouTube Red. Yeah, that's me, yeah. Didn't get a free account because you've got a million subscribers or whatever? I don't have a million subscribers, but no, you don't get anything. Also, that would be weird.

I don't get my account. That would be an incredibly odd cutoff if't have a million subscribers but no, you don't get anything. Also, that would be weird. I don't get my account That would be an incredibly odd cut off if you needed one million subscribers to get a free YouTube Red account. It would be.

No, I just want, I like it because you can lock your phone and I can play music for my kid. And also, there's no ads

so that's what I kind of like. What are you paying a month for that? It's like 10 bucks. It's too much. For what I watch on it, it's too much. But also, the money, for the videos you watch, it goes that? it's like 10 bucks it's too much for what I watch on it it's too much but and also the money

for the videos you watch it goes to the creators the slice of it goes so that's why I think it's better than Adblock well you've got to support that Jake Paul character

I certainly do he's doing it every day bro he's one of the best so this streaming service Mason they're doing the Batman I should let everybody know that he probably is going to

cut out that 20 minutes of praise he put in for Jake Paul. He just kept going on and on and on. I don't know how much he loved Jake Paul and how much he respects his everyday bro ethos. He's probably cut it out at an odd point, so it'll seem like a weird edit, but he really loves Jake Paul.

I do. Batman the Animated Series, Mason, is going to be on there linda carter's wonder woman animated movies such as flashpoint uh you've also got classic batman superman movies plus supergirl uh i didn't see any of the new movies on there okay that's not to say they won't be there but it's weird they don't have like suicide squad batman superman or whatever what about what about a krypton i didn't see it on there because i think that's probably already because that's with sci-fi so maybe that's

it'll live there until they cancel it and then they'll bring it over or whatever. Lois and Clark The New Adventures of Superman That's probably owned by CBS or something.

Something like that, yeah. I don't know. Also, every single DC comic ever published. On the streaming service? Yeah, because it's also an app and that's pretty good, right? Also, Titans which is a new TV series did you see the imagery from that?, because it's also an app. And that's pretty good, right? Also Titans, which is a new TV series.

Yeah, right. Did you see the imagery from that? Some of it, yeah. Apparently it's going to be darker than the DCEU. It's going to be like broken bones and blood and death and all that. Holy hell. No, which though, I think could be great. Because people think that, oh, you just don't like dark universes or whatever.

No, I do. I just like good stuff. Yeah, right. And I think this could be good. Sure, yeah. Or bad. But good. Yeah.

Yeah, you saw those images, right? Of Robin. I saw the, yeah, which I believe is the Dick Grayson Robin, but he's wearing the Tim Drake suit. That's the best suit, though, isn't it? It's the best suit, yeah. You don't want to put him in the little pants. No, you don't want to put him in the little pants.

Here's something I didn't realize, and it was pointed out to me on our facebook group planet broadcasting great mates is that in batman v superman the robin suit in the case has shorts yes i did not i'd never picked up on that i just looking at the muscles i just looked i just thought it was pants but it's not it's little shorts yeah maybe he had some kind of an underlayer or something he would have had to he's not. It's little shorts. Maybe he had some kind of... An underlayer or something. He would have had to. He's not gone bare-legged, is he?

Maybe he is, though. I've seen cosplays of that, and they wear the little shorts. It's pretty funny. Yeah. I mean, I guess that's movie accurate. That dude is too big to be Robin. That suit? It's too big.

Yeah, right. He's the same size as Affleck. It's too much. Yeah. But yeah, that suit looks great. A lot of people have suggested maybe more color to it. But I think in the light, it's going to look good. Or bad.

Or bad. We just don't know. Does the little R thing on the chest, does that pop out and turn into a throwing blade? Do I know that? Yeah, do you know that? I don't know that, no. Okay.

No, that was just an open-ended question. Oh, okay. I hope it does, because it does in the comic books. Okay, well, yes, it will. Nice. But listen, if you're listening to this, if you know an open-ended question. Oh, okay. I hope it does, because it does in the comic books. Okay, well, yes, it will. Nice. But listen, if you're listening to this, if you know that, let Mason know. Also, if you don't know, let him know that you don't know. Oh, please, if you could, yeah.

Regardless of whether you do or do not know, let me know the status of that. Don't lie either. If you do know, tell him the truth. Yes. All right? Yep. But don't. Does he get one throw out of it, or is it like tissues where another one appears behind it? I was just wondering about that. I think it's just the one. It right. Yeah. But don't. Does he get one throw out of it or is it like tissues where another one appears behind it?

I was just wondering about that. I think it's just the one. It better be good. It better be poisoned or set someone on fire. Yeah. And he better have more than one back of the Batcave. Otherwise, he just has to go and retrieve that. Redic.

Yeah. And also, he'd be running around the rest of the night going like, beware evil doers, it's me, Robin. And they're like, what do you mean Robin? You're just weird red chest plate guy. Prove you're Robin in some way. You're not even wearing the shorts. There's a Harley Quinn animated series.

Young Justice Outsiders, which is another animated series. And Swamp Thing, which we've talked about before, which James Wan may or may not be involved in I don't think I'm going to I'm going to wait on this just to see how any of this is

because I feel like with the animated series and all that stuff I feel you don't have a choice on waiting you've got to wait at some point no I mean

when it comes like I haven't decided sorry I should say I haven't decided whether or not I'm going to get it yet I don't know whether it's worth it

because this is all the one universe as well. It's obviously separate than Arrow. There's a lot of different DC universes. There really is. There's a lot to kind of keep track of. But, yeah, anything. But, hey, I watched every episode of Krypton. Still enjoying it?

Yeah, until it's finished. But, yeah, I did enjoy it. Okay. I'm alone on that, just to be clear. It's just me. But, no, I do enjoy it yeah yeah i'm alone on that just to be clear it's just me but no i do enjoy it yeah nice okay what if the streaming what if they work towards sort of unifying like of their current uh output what if they started unifying all the different series within the streaming service.

What if they were like, okay, here's the new Titan series and we're going to start tying it in with the Swamp Thing or we're going to start tying it in with... That I think will happen. But I think then when you've got your animated stuff, I don't think Young Justice Outsiders is going to cross over to Swamp Thing. Oh, what if they did though? Because it's a kid's cartoon. I mean, you can do it.

It's not impossible. Yeah. Speaking of they did a they've done archie meets the punisher and archie meets the predator that's true which and who knows what counts in either of those yeah right so i mean probably not archie versus the predator because i think a lot of characters were killed yeah but uh um yeah i i mean but that's the thing. Like, there's ways to go, okay, we'll bring the Outsiders together with Swamp Thing and, like, we'll give them the PG-rated version of Swamp Thing in that episode or something like that, you know? Okay. I guess the same way that there's grimmer Star Wars stuff

and then there's, like, kids, like, you know, that cartoons they're doing at the moment? You probably don't know. They're doing, like, a... Is it a droids remake You probably don't know. No. They're doing like a- Is it a droids remake? I don't know. It's like a short thing they do on YouTube where it's like the adventures of- It doesn't matter.

Fuck. Okay. No, but I think there's definite potential here. Even if it's 10 bucks a month and you get every DC comic ever, that's great. Yeah, right. I mean, if you like comics. Otherwise, it's a waste of money. But that's great yeah right i mean if you like comics otherwise it's a waste of money but that's that's really good especially and it's a waste of time too especially if they make you scroll through all of them before you get to the tv stuff we're really pushing the comic book angle

of this app so um and you have to read each one yeah that's right i but then i then i think though like is vertigo on there is watchman on on there? Like what, what is, where does, where's the line? Yeah. Yeah. So. Is it just all the terrible stuff from the fifties? Yeah, exactly. But there's also stuff, but they say everything.

Yeah, right. There's also stuff that isn't on Comixology. Yeah. Because often when we do a Caravan of Garbage, you'll find a thing and then, oh shit, this doesn't exist anywhere other than paperback. Yeah, right. So, yeah. So we have to go to a flea market yeah yeah

oh yeah but and also like does this come with like it where's the cutoff is it is it let's say it comes out in 2019 yeah does that mean you get all of 2018's comics as well or does it stop at like 1999 or something good question we've we ask good questions yeah we i mean and also if it's even is it week to week so if the new issue of whatever comes out do you get the new Batman or is it some sort of

staggered subscription service where you get you get the archives for 10 bucks a month and all the TV stuff but if you want to pay 20 bucks a month you also get all the comics

that month also who's watching Supergirl it's a horrible film oh the movie right okay sure okay I get it. Plus Superman 3 and 4.

Like, no one's watching those. You don't even need to put them on there. You should. Now, complete a swash. Yeah, I guess you're right. Yeah. Okay. Here we go, Mason.

Here's some TV news. I'm ready. But it's not. It isn't. Wait, what? What was the... How do I transition to non-TV news? You mention your mental health. Okay. And then you just segue into whatever. Okay, great. Look, I? What was that? What was the... How do I transition to non-TV news? You mention your mental health

and then you just segue into whatever. Okay, great. Look, I'm not doing well. Great. Showtime has ordered a Halo TV series. Amazing. Rupert Wyatt will apparently direct multiple episodes. He directed the first of the reboot of The Planet of the Apes.

Not the Tim Burton reboot, Mason. The James Franco one where he's just got a lazy eye through the whole thing.'s just kind of staring weirdly uh it's written by uh kyle killen who did awake don't know what that is i don't know that is uh what do you think he's been awake for a long time that's his skill pretty good uh are you excited for the first ever halo live action tv series no you're an idiot mason oh Oh, come on. It's the second. There was a series called Halo Nightfall from 2014. It was an Xbox Originals TV series, and it starred Mike Coulter as Johnny Halo. Oh, from bloody Luke Cage.

Correct. There you go. I don't know how it works into the Haloverse or whether these are connected. Probably not. They've been trying to get a Halo. Like, District 9 was supposed to be a Halo movie. Right. That was the plan initially, and then Peter Jackson was going to do it and i can't is it hot or cold mason i can't decide a little bit of behind the scenes magic james has purchased a new jacket

it looks cool but it's upsetting him clearly well you know the problem with sitting right here is there's a vent under me for heating yeah but that sounds oh shut up mason i'm not finished oh the heat, it's winter and I've got to heat it directly under my butt. I've never had heating, like proper heating in my life.

So this house, this is why I never leave. Huh. And this window... Is that why your hands and feet are so frostbitten? Correct. Huh.

The window is slightly ajar and I can't fix it. Right. So it's hot and cold sitting here. Oh. Like different parts of my body. You're in the Katy Perry seat. I certainly am. Uh-huh. fix it. Right. So it's hot and cold sitting here. Oh. Like different parts of my body. You're in the Katy Perry seat.

I certainly am. Uh-huh. Very good. Yeah. You're a Halo guy? Oh, I mean, I played Halo 3, so I guess I'm a Halo guy. There you go. Yeah.

You're more of a Halo guy than I am. I got Halo 3 with my Xbox 360 when it came out. Did you play it? Yeah, some of it. Did you finish it? Yes. Okay. Yeah.

That was the last console you bought, wasn't it? It was, yeah. Yeah. What are you looking to get next if you get anything? Whatever the current edition of the PS4 is, I guess. Sure. But that's nearly done, right? In a couple of years, probably, yeah.

Okay, right. Okay. But then you've got to wait until games get good. So you've got to wait two years after the next console is out or whatever. I guess, you know what? I should just wait until somebody's managed to bootleg the PS4 into like a box the size of a deck of cards and I can just plug it into my TV.

And then if it breaks, you just get another one. Just get another one. Doesn't matter. Continue forever. Also, you won't play it because it's old stuff. Yes, exactly right, yeah. So what does it matter? Yeah.

So this is a long time coming. Who knows, are they going to take off Master Chief's helmet or whatever? That'd be like taking off Judge Dredd's helmet, which they did. Yeah, in the bad one. Is that Judge Dredd TV series still happening? I'm asking you, Mason. Oh, I don't know, but I feel the listeners will know or not know.

So if you know or don't know whether the Judge Dredd TV series is still happening, tweet it, James. But don't lie. Don't lie. If is still happening, tweet it, tweet it, James. Don't lie. Don't lie. If it is happening, you have to tell me. Yeah. This is news.

Movies. Nice. Last bit of news. Jared Leto is going to star as Morbius, the living vampire in a Spider-Man spinoff movie. Another one. Great. That's,

I guess it's off the Ven verse or yeah however any of this this is connected uh daniel espinosa who directed life do you watch that one where the tv series no uh the magazine no the one with the ryan reynolds the serial yes there's a lot of things called life yes he directed the concept of life did he he? Yes. Wow. He did... He said opposable thumbs. Was that him? Yeah, he suggested that, yeah. It's the one where Jake Gyllenhaal is in space and he's fighting a weird...

Oh, and it could have been aliens, but it wasn't. Yeah. Right, okay. Yeah. Oh, that was also like... Is this a Venom movie? That's right, yes. But it wasn't.

It was just a... It's an okay movie. Great. It's not brilliant. Look, we were talking about this before the show. I don't like Jared Leto as a person. Or as an actor. You can Google that for why that may be the case.

Also, what are these Spider-Man spin-offs? Why is this the one? Yeah, why Morbius? I mean, I quite like that character. I don't know a lot about him. I was actually recently reading Marvel Zombies, the one that he's in. Yeah, right.

Volume 3. Uh-huh. You love big disco collars?. Volume 3. Uh-huh. You love big disco collars? I love that. Uh-huh. But no, I'd come. Yeah.

All right. If any actor living today also loves disco collars, it'd be Jared Leto. Boy, would he? Mm-hmm. So, yeah, whatever. This will probably get cancelled anyway. Anything else about that? That's about it.

It is a very odd choice because, I mean, vampires are out of the zeitgeist. Exactly. But maybe that's when you strike. Maybe it's some overconfident producers who are like, we can single-handedly bring vampires back. Yeah. Here's the twist. He's a living vampire.

What does that mean? Don't know. What does that mean? He's just, I think he's a- Because it's a virus. It's not a magic thing. Yeah, he's not a magic vampire. He's got vampiric qualities, but he's not a real vampire. Yeah, cool.

Sounds like Blade. Yeah. But with a worse person playing the role. Well, that's why Blade in the- Because the original version of Blade in the comic books is pretty much just a regular guy. Yeah. But he gets- And then it's one of those ones where the movie came out

and he had all the super cool vampire powers and then they were like well let's make the comic book version more like the movie so what did so he got bit by morbius what did he have in the comics before that he couldn't be turned into a vampire and that's like say like a say, like a tree. Yeah, like a tree. Yeah, he had tree DNA. Wow. But he had like, and I think... He didn't have the strength or anything? No, he didn't have like superhuman strength and speed and blah, blah, blah. They were just like, he can't, I think it was he can't, vampires can't stand his blood so they can't turn him into a vampire

and I think he couldn't be hypnotized by a vampire or something like that. They were very minor powers. And then the movie was like, he couldn't be hypnotized by a vampire or something like that right they were very minor powers and then in the then the movie was like he's got all the powers of a vampire but he doesn't have any weaknesses he's got no weaknesses what an interesting character with no weaknesses and then they were like i don't know that that's interesting yeah and then they just made the comic character exactly the same so he's a man essentially with a british man a british man so it could just be a regular man with a very thick collar you can't bite through yes and dark sunglasses so you can't hypnotize him. He could have been wearing a turtleneck and then a disco collar over that.

Great. Which he probably was. I don't doubt it. If earlier Luke Cage is anything to go by, I don't doubt it. As women, our life stages come with unique risk factors. Like when our estrogen levels drop during menopause, causing the risk of heart disease to go up. Know your risks.

I love the smooth and comfortable glide. Do you love the weight of the razor handle? I thought you were going to give me a second one. Oh, the design. I love the smooth and comfortable glide. Do you love the weight of the razor handle? I thought you were going to give me a second one. The design. I wanted to give you a chance to answer. Oh, then yes and yes. And scent of the shave gel. Yes. Etc. Yes. Okay, good. Here's the thing, Mason. Switching

razors, it's not an easy decision, potentially. I mean, it might be for you. For me, it is. But say here that maybe it's not that's what this ad is employing well i'm very much a yes and guy so honestly if you can imagine if you can imagine me in some sort of infomercial and it's the black and white portion of the infomercial where i'm trying to use another brand's razor yeah and i've just cut my own throat with it and it's in black and white there's some wacky music happening.

And I'm like, whoa. And you run into the kitchen and you spray the family. And I slip over. I spray the family. And then we're all sitting on the couch and I'm still spraying blood out. And I'm like, there's got to be a better way. Well, that's me. And I switched to Harry's razors and I'm still alive.

What do you think about that? Pretty good. Yep. Also, if you want a trial offer with great value, which I'll talk about in a bit, you can go to harrys.com slash weeklyplanet to get that. And what you get from that is a weighted ergonomic handle, five-blade razor with a lubricating strip and trimmer blade.

Trimmer blade's great, by the way. Rich lathering shave gel and a travel blade cover. $13 worth of value for just the price of shipping, which from memory is like $3. Don't quote me on that, but it is something like that. Something like that. It may even be exactly $3. Ooh. You know how they did it, Mason. What do all podcast advertisers do? They cut out the

middleman. Got rid of him. That's right. Yeah. And so they got rid of also unnecessary features. They're also made with sharp durable steel that lasts, and they also bought a factory in Germany with the highest quality blades that they've been making for over 95 years. So that's pretty good.

I agree. And also they're $2 per blade as opposed to $4. Call to action. Must read verbatim. Listeners of my show. That's right, Mason. Oh, what? My show.

Oh, no. Can redeem their trial set at harrys.com slash weeklyplanet. Make sure you go to harrys.com slash weekly planet. Make sure you go to harrys.com slash weekly planet to redeem your offer and to let us know we sent you to help support the show. My show. Well. Mason, I bloody love cliffhangers.

Or I don't. Which is it? I don't know. One of the things that we do here at my show, The Weekly Planet, is we love the Gameazon Award. Yes, we do. We talk about it quite a lot.

It's where basically a movie sets up the premise for a sequel that will never happen. Not because it's an intentional cliffhanger where that's how the movie is supposed to end, but they promise things to come and then they never do it's insurance against get if it's a tv show it's insurance against getting cancelled that's right it's like we want we're putting this in because we want the fans if we get cancelled we want the fans to rise up and demand more of this which they will now yep yeah and sometimes it works but mostly it doesn't it works all they're like yeah

all they're like yeah or they're like oh my god look we set this up and people are gonna really want a sequel to this movie yeah and a lot of times people are like well the rest of the movie was bad so we don't want we don't want another one yeah a recent example of that is obviously the dark universe movies that they tried to reboot twice yep in the span that we've been doing this podcast, which is insane. Yep. So, yeah,

that's what we're talking about. Cause we threw this out there on Twitter and the great mates Facebook group, which by the way is nearly 10,000 members. If you want to bloody jump on it, it's a lovely conversations going on there. The rule, number one rule is just be nice to people in the group and respectful of other people.

But mean to everybody out of the group. That's fine. That's right out. That's not our domain. Soon we'll have everybody in the world in the group except for like six people you could be mean as mean to them as you like that's i used to teach my class you had to be nice in the room but as they left for lunch everyone got a machete that was the rule that's pretty cool yeah some examples that we got were people saying like inception sopranos and the gray right those to us or to me at least mason on my show i consider like they're intentional cliffhangers with definitive endings yes even

if you don't like them yep they're they're supposed to end like that yes for sure yeah yeah they're not a they're not a teaser for more to come no they're uh yeah i mean there are examples of that and then there is happens to be a sequel later. But yeah, those specific examples. It's more, there's got to be a sense of, I feel it's got to be a sense of desperation to it. Yes. You know what I mean? And some of these also aren't even terrible. There's some good stuff in here.

One that I first remember, and I think it informs a lot of who I am as a human being. Oh, bloody hell. This is going to be pretty epic. I come back to it a lot. The He-Man movie from 1987. I thought you were going to say the farting scene from Blazing Saddles. The farting around the campfire scene. I mean, that's obviously, that's a great cliffhanger.

Yeah. But, no, He-Man, the Masters of the Universe movie. Who's going to fart after that? Who is? Are any of them ever going to fart again? Are most of them dead now? Yes. I don't know.

He-Man, the movie from 1987. Yeah, that's right. Ends with Skeletor getting thrown. First of all, he's dressed all in gold. It's Frank Langella, who you may recognize from Superman Returns and other things. And Robot and Frank, which is a good movie. You ever seen that one? Robot and Frank.

Robot and Frank. No. It's about an old guy who gets a robot to help him rob a bank or something. Diamonds. Robot and Frank. It's called Robot and Frank. So it's not called Robot and Frank Rob a Bank? No, it shouldn't.

God damn it. Can you make up all of this? No, that's a great name for that movie. Robot and Frank. I don't think they do Rob a Bank, though. Maybe it's a diamond store or something. Okay, right. That's good.

Good work. Thank you. So Skeletor, in all his gold garb, gets thrown off into a bottomless pit. And you think he's been the emperor. You think it's all over. The credits roll. Then he pops his head up and he says, I'll be back.

Is that after the credits? It's after the credits. It's not before the credits. No, no. It's after the credits. Wow. Implying that he would be back. Was he back?

He was not back. Frank Langella was back, though. Yeah. He was back in different movies. He was back in Robotic Frank, Robert Diamondsaw. Yes, okay. So that's the earliest one I can remember of being like, well, where's this? Because they said he was going to...

Yeah. Did he drown? I guess. Yeah. He just drowned. I felt the same way about Transformers the movie, which eventually got resolved. But at the end of that, they went, Optimus Prime will return.

And then he came back evil or something? He came back in the TV series several years later as like a, his body came back. Oh, he didn't have a soul or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's right. I was watching that, you know, the toys at Mages. Have you seen that on Netflix? Yes.

Did you watch the Transformers one? No, not yet. There's always a bit in all of these toy lines where they go, we were going so great. And then it all came crashing down. And then we fucked up. Then we did something really terrible. I mean, that's every doc, that's 99% of all documentaries,

especially like rock and roll biopics. It's always like, nilly vanilly, we're flying high. Then it all came crashing down but for that it was we shouldn't have killed optimus prime yeah which they absolutely shouldn't have because there wasn't the idea to sell more toys so they killed all well yeah the idea they killed all they killed all the generation one characters yeah i guess under the pretense that all kids would be like well i don't want to play with my optimus prime anymore because he's dead yeah so i'm gonna i want to i only want to play with Springer and Ultra Magnus.

I like Ultra Magnus. I also like Ultra Magnus. But he's no Springer. I still have an Ultra Magnus. Good on you, mate. Thank you. On you at all times. It's a great conversation piece.

Whenever you go to a party. I've got a chain around my neck. I've got my big trench coat and I've got an Ultra Magnus on a chain. Is that what we're talking about this episode? Sure. Have you got one? Well, I was going to say Amazing Spider-Man 2. Absolutely.

Yeah. Really good example. See, and that feels like desperation. Yes. Because it ends, the movie itself leads up to, hey, remember all the Amazing Spider-Man villains that exist? Well, we've built them all in a basement and we're going to be doling them out.

Yes. Throughout the course of the next few movies. And that movie ends before the fight with him and the Rhino. Correct. Do you think the next movie would have picked up directly after that if they made it? Yes. Or it would have been like, no, I got him in jail.

Oh, yeah, look, I think maybe it would resolve. No, no, actually, I think it would. Why not open with a flashy action sequence? Because they didn't know what they were doing. Yeah, that would be it. Yeah. No, that's a great example. God, there's been a lot of Spider-Man movies, haven't there?

How does Spider-Man 3 end? They don't get back together, but there's the implication that they might be resolving even though he hit her in the head in a club in a bar fight oh yeah that's right remember that yeah sort of and he goes to visit her work and there's like a moment where they're like oh maybe but uh no they're both kind of unresolved but especially spider-man 2 and spider-man 2 is the amazing spider-man 2 sorry is more, it's very obvious. Like that whole movie is a trailer for a series that never came.

Yeah, right. Do you remember Godzilla 1998? Yes. And technically this did get a sequel. Yeah. I think we can, I think that's fun to talk about. Sure. But that was.

That ends with the Godzilla we see. So in Godzilla 98, Godzilla lays a whole bunch of eggs in a stadium. Thank you. Yeah. And they're all going to grow into a Godzilla and they're going to overrun the world. There's going to be too many Godzilla's. Despite the fact that you can kill one of these gods.

But despite the fact that original Godzilla is invulnerable to normal weapons, but 98 Godzilla can be killed with a missile. Yeah. So it's really not that scary. I love it. Yeah. But at the end, they nuke the stadium or whatever. They kill Godzilla and they're like, crisis averted.

We did it. Now let's leave and not examine any wreckage. But at the end of that, it's revealed there's one egg left. Yeah. And it's going to crack open and become a new Godzilla. And then Matthew Broderick becomes its mother or something. Yeah, so that does end on a cliffhanger. But there is an animated series sequel.

Which obviously went into production well before this movie came out. Right. Oh, I don't know. You never know. Come on. I bet there was a couple of years. I bet they were like, people still fondly love Godzilla. Maybe. Yeah, I mean, kids. All right, I'm going to a couple of years. I bet they were like, people still fondly love Godzilla. Maybe.

Yeah. I mean, kids. All right. I'm going to look that up. Okay. If you could. So I was going to say, so what happens in the first episode of the animated series is that egg cracks and the baby Godzilla comes out.

Matthew Broderick's character is there. It imprints on Matthew Broderick and thinks Matthew Broderick is its mother. Correct. And then it escapes. And then very shortly afterwards, it grows into a proper giant Godzilla. And then he can command it to some extent. Yeah, right. Or it follows him around and he can be like...

He's Indoraptor. Yeah, and he'd be like, there's a monster, you should fight it. And it's like, okay, this Godzilla, the animated Godzilla does get the atomic breath. It's slightly mutated. It's also sterile, so there can never be another one. How'd they do that? Cut its balls off. Yeah, I know, right?

It's really graphic for a kid's cartoon, let me tell you. Also, that series does have a... Because you know one of Godzilla's nemeses in the Japanese movies is Mechagodzilla. Yes. In the cartoon series, one of the monsters is called cyber godzilla and it's the it's the original 98 godzilla's corpse reanimated ah so it has to fight grim yeah it has to fight its own dead mother jesus yeah uh frank welker voiced godzilla he did the vocal

effects oh there you go it's a nice little tie-in. And also... That's the voice of Megatron, among many other things. Correct. It is a direct sequel to the 1998 Godzilla film that premiered in September of 1998. Damn it. It was the same year. Same year, right. There you go. All right.

So, all right. Fond memories it is. Anyway, you got one? Ah. B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b. B-b-b-b-b-b-b. B-b-b-b-b-b-b. B-b-b-b-b-b. B-b-b. Oh, a lot of people have suggested Angel The TV series Angel

Yeah, I was going to ask you about that Because I've never seen it Okay, so I've seen the bit where he gets angry And his forehead's different That I can tell you So you've seen The last five minutes of every episode of Angel

Is what you've seen And the midpoint of every episode of Angel, as we've seen, and the midpoint of every episode of Angel, as we've seen. So at the end of... Did this go after Buffy? Sorry, I'll let you talk. Yes, it did, yeah. Did she turn up?

In the final season of... No, she didn't. At all? After Buffy was cancelled? That's a very specific question, I know. I don't think so okay Angel shows up

in the final couple of episodes of the last season of Buffy yeah but so basically Buffy came out it went for a few seasons

then they were like let's do an Angel spin-off and then Buffy ended and then Angel ended like a couple of seasons later right but it

Buffy ended well is that I didn't like most of the last season of Buffy. Okay. But what can you do? Nathan Fillion was in it. I know him from other shows. From other shows.

You're exactly right. Yeah. So it ends with... Is he a teen? Who? Nathan Fillion in that? No, he's not a teen. Okay.

Because, you know, they're teens in Buffy. No, he's a grown man. Yeah, I know. But I just thought... Because a lot of them are actually teens but they're oh i see right i thought did he turn up playing a team that's playing a team no no no okay sorry so it ends the season finale of angel ends with um the basically hell coming to earth oh no and like a whole bunch of like and it's it ends with like a a standoff the remaining good guys like basically in an alley and facing off against like an a huge

a huge number of monsters and villains which we don't see yeah essentially they're like look at all those monsters and it's set up like like, okay, this is our last stand. And apparently there's a dragon, which we don't see. Because at the end, Angel has a sword and he's like, well, I've always wanted to slay a dragon. And then they all sort of go. That sounds like it could be. They go into battle. That wouldn't have looked good, obviously.

Well, yeah, we don't see it. But actually there is a comic book. Of course there is. Yeah, yeah. Right, great. And I believe Angel actually makes friends with the dragon. Okay. So he didn't end up slaying him.

Correct. Yes. What a world. Yeah. Was that a good show? I enjoyed it. Yeah. Yeah.

Did it go to like 2003 or something like that? I'm not good with dates. Okay. Or faces or names. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Name another thing.

Swimwear. Bad with that. Okay. Sure. This one I remember. Just wear that stripy one piece. No, that's good. That's back probably. Yeah, absolutely.

I saw a guy riding a penny farthing in the city the other day, and it took a lot of willpower for me not to just push him over. Wow. Because what are you doing? Why are you riding that? You just want people to see that you're on a penny farming. Just ride a bike, you fucking idiot. I'm just saying.

You are salty this episode. Thank you, Mason. Yeah. Thank you. Wait, was that a compliment? No, it's bad. Oh, okay. No, no, it's good.

Keep at it. Keep living your life and living the dream. But why? It's hard to get on. You've got to get like a high bench. Mad respect from other cyclists. That's what you get. No.

All right, would you rather you have to either ride a penny farthing or you have to ride a recumbent bicycle? What's that? It's the one where you lie down. You know, you see those people, they're lying down. They're in, like, a boxcar racer and they're pedaling like mad. They seem worse than regular bikes. They've got a flag on it, so you see them.

They've got a big flag, yeah. You know? Look, I think they're better because they're less kind of, look at me, I'm an old-timey dickhead or whatever. This dude was like nine feet in the air. Like, how do you stop? Was he wearing a top hat? No, he wasn't.

Wow. It looked like a more modern-ish one. Okay. So you can still get them or whatever, but good on him. Yeah, get them. Yeah, get them. Do you ever watch the TV series Now and Again? A few people recommended this.

I remember the premise of Now and Again. John Goodman was hit by a train. Correct. He was hit by a train and then his brain was put in the body of a... Mitchell tweeted this. Of a buff Superman, right? He was, yeah. He wasn't super buff.

He was more lean than buff. Just regular. Okay, right. It was like Mark Hamill Empire Strikes Back buff. Oh, yeah. Okay. Good regular man buff. Yeah, and basically he was used by the government to...

It was an experimental body that they made and they put John Goodman's head in it and that would make him fight crime. Oh, sure, yeah. They put John Goodman's entire head inside. That is classic government. Just smush a John Goodman head into a regular head, you know? I actually watched the opening to that

and when John Goodman gets killed and then i watched the last episode which was in its entirety no just sorry the last clip i just watched those clips just before you came over where because his family's still alive and they all think that john goodman's dead and he hasn't been smooshed into a an handsome man or whatever and so he busts into his family's home and like, we've got to get out of here. The government's coming. David Haysbert is coming. Oh, David, the president.

The president's coming. And then they run out. Is now and again set in the 24-verse? It might be. Or is 24 set in the now and again-iverse? So they all bust in and then it ends. So he's on the run. And I remember when I started watching this show,

because it came out here in 2000, or maybe even 2001. It started in 99 in the US. They'd already known it was cancelled when they aired it here. So I knew it was already cancelled, and I still watched it. Because it's kind of a superhero thing, sort of, and there wasn't any of that. It's not a terrible show, but I remember being like, well, shouldn't have watched any of that.

It feels kind of like the seventh heaven of that. It's not a terrible show, but I remember being like, well, shouldn't have watched any of that. That was a waste of my time. It feels kind of like the seventh heaven of superhero TV shows. The villain was a very old Asian man who would put chemicals in an egg and then break it on a subway and everyone would die. Did he wear a mask or something while he was breaking the egg? I don't remember the specifics of it. Okay. But in the end, he got out maybe? I don't remember the specifics of it. Okay. But in the end, he got out maybe.

I don't know. Great. Anyway, check it out now and again. It doesn't end well. Why would you check it out? Could he do any... Did he have... No, he's Captain America.

Yeah, that's what I thought. But not even that. He was just sort of... Because he couldn't like fly or turn invisible or anything. He did have a box that could shoot a cable so he could swing across the street. Everybody's got that. He was just sort of, because he couldn't like fly or turn invisible. He did have a box that could shoot a cable so he could swing across the street. Everybody's got that. And when Captain Poison Eggs was captured, he's telling the story of like the man that captured him. And he's like, this man flew across the street and grabbed him.

No, he didn't. He's very slowly, 1999 stunt swung across the street. Yeah. What else you got, Mason? What about Sarah Connor Chronicles? I got one here. Yeah, from Sandy I got there. Yeah, yeah.

Who's that from, Mason, for you? A different person? No, I just thought of it out of my brain. Okay, great. Yeah, how about that? What are you thinking about that? I didn't mind Sarah Connor Chronicles. Precisely right.

I think it's better than all the sequels that they made. I agree, yeah. Yeah, after two. And it started... It starts after, shortly after... It starts about four years after Terminator 2, I think. And so that's... So it starts in the 90s.

Yeah, but then it... It might even start in 99, and then it jumps to 2007. Because, yeah, what they introduced in the series, which then they used again in terminator genesis was time traveling forwards yes which hadn't been done before yeah hadn't even been thought of before by anyone nobody can you imagine it i mean no yes i can't uh-huh right whatever the answer is what do you want me to say i can't remember i cannot remember so that ends with ends with John Connor going to the future and meeting Kyle Reese.

But he's also young. Yes. But the timeline is whatever at this point. Because there was no... Wait, was this... This must have been before 3, right? Maybe it wasn't. It came out in 2008.

So it wasn't. Yeah. Okay. So this is like the new Terminator film. It it wasn't. Yeah. Okay. So this is like the new Terminator film. It takes after 2. Yes. Okay. And this is also the universe where the reason they took it to 2008

was because then they could just use modern computers and cars. That's right. Exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It absolutely screams like we can't afford to keep making this 90s accurate oh we'll just put a scene where they go the future yeah it's fine and it's kyle reese's brother derrick derrick reese derrick reese i think they could have given him a cooler name there's no cooler name than derrick that's true yeah what about dennis that's why ricky gervais named his character derrick he named it after

derrick reese i didn't know that. That's true. Yeah. They're in the same universe. Oh, really? Yeah. Derek is Derek Reese's brother. What? It's true. I didn't know that.

Yeah, no, it's true. So was Derek Ricky Gervais born first and then went, oh, I don't like this one. Let's get it over with. No, the other way. The other way. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah. Derek Reese.

Great. Great. Yeah. Well, Derek Reese, real life, was dating Megan Fox or maybe still is? Good for him. Yeah. Oh, because it's What's His Face? It's What's His Face. It's from 90210.

90210. That guy. And then his name is whatever. What an incredible summary of this whole series we've done. Oh, sorry. That wasn't said. That was Jeff who said Sarah Connor Chronicle. But then they time travel in the finale.

Yeah, they time travel forward to the future future. The apocalyptic future. And then that's it? That's it, yeah. My brother was a big fan. The one you don't like. Yeah, I know. I remember.

Yeah, yeah. I remember. I remember being impressed with the summer glows in it as well. It's a good cast. Yeah. And who's Sarah Connor again? What's her name? From 300 and Dread and Game of Thrones?

Lena Headey. Lena Headey. She's a great Sarah Connor. I agree. Yeah. I had more thoughts about it. Good special effects. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. I feel Summer Glau should have been a human brain in a robot body, but that's just my opinion. They kind of dehumanize her after the first episode. They do. She had more personality in the pilot. Because she tricks John Connor. Yeah, into thinking she's just my opinion. They kind of dehumanize her after the first episode. They do. She had more personality in the pilot. Because she tricked John Connor. Yeah, into thinking she's a real girl.

Yeah. Good stuff. It was good stuff. And the Terminator also brought a gun into John Connor's class by putting it inside his leg. Yes, I remember that. I mean, that would have metal detected him. But he's very metal on the inside. I was going to say, yeah.

Put it in your pocket there was a lot of a lot there were a lot of there's a lot of stuff in those in that series that is way better than anything that happened in the subsequent movies 100 that character that first t800 that goes to kill him eventually it gets all its skin like blown off and then it go then it goes to like a like a medical professional and gets him to create a clone skin formula. No, he does that. Yeah, that's right.

And then he goes to get the plastic surgeon. So he gets covered over in clone skin like a giant mud monster made of disgusting flesh. And then he goes to a plastic surgeon and forces him at gunpoint to transform him into a proper human again. It's wild. And there's also Terminators that live married lives. Yeah.

And the wife's like, he's a very distant husband or whatever. Yeah, because he's a robot. Yeah, right. And I just find, like, it's not just, infiltration isn't just standing in a club and waiting for your target to walk past. They can marry or live for hundreds of years, I think. Because isn't there ones from like way back?

Yeah, there's one from like the 1900s maybe. Crazy. And Shirley Manson from Garbage is a T-1000. That's right. And that effect looked okay on television. It did look okay. It looked as good as it possibly could look. And maybe her motivations were good.

It never looked as good as it has in Terminator 2. It certainly hasn't for some reason. That's probably just your happy memories, Mason. Man. Brett has mentioned that Elf got captured by an alien task force and the series ended, which is true. But then there was a spin-off movie. There was a spin-off.

There was a movie. But what happened to the family? Did the government shoot them off? They got shot in the back of the head and buried in a shallow grave. Are you an Elf fan? And then the Barones barones moved in became everybody loves raymond is that the same house is it no i don't know they all look the same yeah oh great stuff uh do you got another one i can find another one i've got another one

so jeff no sorry sandy said the event which i'm i don't know what that was which one's that is that where people disappeared or people appeared i don't know i don't know what that was. Which one's that? Is that when people disappeared or people appeared? I don't know. I don't know. I think he had put all those together. Yeah. The 100, the 4,400 ended on a cliffhanger. Okay.

And Terra Nova, which I started to watch and then I went, I think they're going to cancel this. So I stopped watching it and then they cancelled it. Tell me about Terra Nova. Terra Nova was, imagine the earth, but it was everything. There's too much pollutants. People aren't recycling their plastic bags. So they go, what we'll do, we'll go backwards in time to the dinosaurs

and we'll set up an Earth colony there. Oh, okay. And then it's... That seems like a really bad idea. Yeah, it was. And then they cancelled it. I mean, it was good because all the water was fresh. So that was good.

You know what I mean? What else you got mason what about lois and clark we talked about lois and clark earlier how did that end that ends with lois and clark they they discover that somebody's left like essentially left a baby on a doorstep for him and they were like because it went four seasons i think and that was going to be season five and apparently the baby was it was going to be one of those situations where the baby you know it'd be in episode two he's an adolescent and episode three he's a grown up or whatever super boy or something yeah well he was going to be some sort of kryptonian royalty great and so probably probably uh and then he's like, I'm the king, Superman. Is that like that? Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, that was on his promo poster. I'm the king, Superman. So they raise him to be a nice boy? Well, we don't know because it was never resolved. Great. The baby was literally left for them. And they were like, what are we going to do with this? He smashed it

just well that's the way that's what you could do it back then you could just if you were the new showrunner on a show and you didn't want to deal with that you just have superman punch the baby was that that was a well-liked show wasn't it didn't it go downhill after he told lois who he was didn't wasn't that all the tension kind of removed from it oh i remember that or thinking that was the case i don't know whether that's actually true it's it's it's off it's often 50 50 with a show like that isn't it he's too dean kane either way you're absolutely right yeah that's what i never liked about that show that i barely watched yeah yeah there's an episode there's a there's an episode there's one episode where there's an evil Superman.

I think they create a clone, maybe not a Bizarro, but a clone of regular Superman. Just do Bizarro. And him and Clark Kent have a fist fight in front of Lois Lane, and she never twigs, despite the fact that Clark Kent is holding his own against Superman. But I guess you wouldn't twig if he's fighting Superman. He looks the same, doesn't he? Yeah, yeah.

Okay. But no, he was always way too Dean Cain. Like the hair was the same. Yeah. He was super cool and cash. Yeah. Yeah. Also, there's a bit where I remember she sees him with his shirt off and he's real buff

and she's like, look at this guy. What's your bloody secret? Yeah, but he was a Kansas farm boy, remember? He was, wasn't he? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Todd has said The Golden Compass, which I never saw, but a lot of people have mentioned this um because that's a massive book series yeah uh great cast good cgi and stellar source material to pull from but instead of following the plot of the book the creators decided we better to use the movie as one giant frankenstein setup for a trilogy that would never

happen what a shame yeah a lot of people have said that as well a lot of that mason who carnavale did you ever watch that that had tom says yeah i was gonna say that had uh that had a john connor and clancy brown apparently really okay and it was it was the american horror story of his day it was saying i had a lot of good got of things about carnavale as well yeah i've got one here from um g heartland it's another superman one actually okay i'm ready Superman Returns Ends on the dude Finding out that he has a kid And then flying away

Is that the end of all Superman things that are cancelled? Oh you have a son End of story Well time to go Back to my home planet Time to smash this baby Yeah

Oh wait he's stronger than I am Yeah Do you think that We can't do that on the budget That we've got we just could never have a sequel i don't remember being at the end of superman returns thinking oh this is real sequel bait even though it's supposed to be a sequel uh what's his name bloody name the x-men guy yeah singer said he was gonna wrath of khan the second one how so just dark and punching

basically and screaming but yeah that uh that obviously never never happened got got another one mason i'm still looking is there no good ones is it all garbage in the great there's a lot of garbage is there really no it's there's heaps of good stuff but my my facebook's resets oh what a bunch of balls yeah i got another one you want another one please go ahead yeah i can open that as well if you want uh nicole says marvel's agent card was a pretty great pretty great it's easy to wrapped up well until the last 10 seconds when one of the main characters got shot. The game was on. Then the show was cancelled.

Yeah. I didn't know that. I didn't watch it to the end. I didn't see season two. I quite like season one. I don't think I finished season two either. Yeah, yeah. That's a testament to the quality of this.

But I don't know. A lot of the time I'm like, there are a number of series of things that I've watched where I stop, like, one episode before the end. Because I'm like, I don't want to see this end. Yeah, right. I don't consciously do it. I've got that with Futurama. I've got a bunch of Futurama to watch. Yeah, right.

Because you're like, once this is done, this is it. I got no more. Yeah, exactly. A lot of people said Hannibal as well. Yep, agreed. Nick on the Great Mates group said the TV series Las Vegas. All right. Did those guys end up, did they save the casino from getting robbed or whatever?

Who gives a shit? Brutal. Well, I just think, why am I rooting for the guy owning the casino? Yeah. I don't care. Hey, guys, we saved the casino. We can keep ruining lives. Were you a fan of the TV show Reboot?

The cartoon series Reboot? yeah yes we talked about that it's uh randall says in the reboot did they ever stop megabyte i don't know did they i don't think they ever stopped megabyte i bet there was a comic though oh for sure it doesn't count uh-huh uh christian says my name is earl never had a cliffhanger ending for any season until the final season. And then they got cancelled. So there you go. I never got into My Name is Earl. I always felt like it was something that I should like. But whenever I watched it, I couldn't really get behind it.

I believe when that came out, we were right in the Jason Leigh's A Scientologist era. Oh, maybe that's right. And I'm like, oh no, I can't support any of this. Yeah. To be honest. But you did anyway. Yeah, I watched every episode. Great stuff.

Hang on, I'm going to find one. Don't hold your bloody horses. You're bad at this, Mason. Yeah, I watched every episode. Great stuff. Hang on, I'm going to find one. Hold your bloody horses. You're bad at this, Mason. Yeah, I know. Because I can't read. Oh, Ben says, while you're still doing this,

at the end of Flash Gordon, someone picks up Ming the Merciless' ring and it says the end. Did you know Ming the Merciless has a ring called Ring the Merciless? Really? No. That would be amazing. You're doing some great stuff This episode Thank you

But So it says the end But it throws up a question mark Yes it does That's He's actually put an image Of that here And there's also

Andrew says The Stargate universe Do they all end on cliffhangers? I'm not across any of that Which one? What's that? Stargate Just all the different

Stargate universes Let me think I don't know But that seems like A relic of the 90s Where everything ended On a cliffhanger Okay fair enough Like we're talking about Bloody Sliders ended on a cliffhanger Stargate universes. Let me think. Of episodes, or I should say. I don't know, but that seems like a relic of the 90s where everything ended on a cliffhanger. Okay, fair enough.

Like we're talking about bloody sliders ended on a cliffhanger. Oh yeah, his brother took over as the new slider or they put Jerry O'Connell's mind into his brother's mind

or something. Uh-huh. Do you remember when they went to the dinosaur dimension? I remember when they went to the dinosaur dimension. Great stuff.

Do you remember the episode where they actually got back home? I remember. Yeah, no, we've talked Great stuff. Do you remember the episode where they actually got back home? I remember. Yeah, no, we've talked about this on the show. It seems to have been a defining point in our lives. Correct. What about the TV series Earth 2?

Tell me about Earth 2. I don't remember the ending, but I'm pretty sure it ended on a cliffhanger. Did you ever watch Almost Human? Kev has said this with Carl Urban. He says, still want to know what was over that wall. I don't know how that ended, but I really liked Almost Human. It had Carl Urban in it. Was this?

Tell me about it. He was a cop and he was teamed up with a synthetic person and they fought crime together. It was kind of fun minority report-ish. Okay, right. I really enjoyed it. That ended up, where was that? Was it on Network TV or Sci-Fi? It was on Fox, so they cancelled it. Okay, right, I really enjoyed it. Did that... That ended up... Where was that? Was it on Network TV or Sci-Fi?

It was on Fox, so they cancelled it. Okay, right, right, right. Okay. But that's never coming back. And a lot of people have also said the 90s Mario Brothers movie. Chris has said this here on the Great Maid's Trip. Yeah, see, that's right in the... That's sequel bait right there.

Do you remember the ending? Not really. But it feels exactly like... That's exactly the kind of movie where they'd be like, we're going to stretch this out as much as possible. Do you know I have every Super Mario Brothers the movie card, like trading card? In a binder? Somewhere.

Not in a binder, like in a bundle. For some reason I collected them, even though at the time I didn't see it when it came out. I don't think I've even fully seen it since. But I do know the ending, everything's good and they leave daisy in the dinosaur dimension and then she comes back through and she's like we're gonna go there's bad things and she's got a gun it's like she's dressed like ripley that's right yeah yeah and then it yes comes back yeah great and they'll never continue it because john leguizamo is fairly confident that the guy who plays Mario is dead. I think we're all fairly confident about that, which is sad. Mason, have you found one yet?

No, sorry. I got distracted. You're really killing it, Mason. You mean in a good way, right? Like this guy's killing it. Randall says Dark Angel. How does that end? I watched a lot of Dark Angel.

You did watch a lot of Dark Angel. Did you really? Yeah. Name one thing about that show. Jessica Alba. Clones with a lot of Archangel. Did you really? Yeah. Name one thing about that show. Jessica Alba. Clones with their blood made them strong and they also had tattoos of barcodes on them because that was the most 2000s thing you could get was a tattoo of a barcode. That's right.

I had a friend who had a tattoo of a barcode on his arm. Probably the worst thing you could get. Do you think that if anyone actually scanned the barcode? Well, that's what he said at the time. He's like, do you reckon anyone would scan what would come up? And I'm like, who cares? You've made a terrible mistake. You know what I want to get a tattoo of?

Yes. I want to get on my shoulder blade or my chest where my heart is. And it's a hand. It's an open hand like this. Yes. And across it, there's a scroll or like a ribbon. And on that ribbon, it says One Life. Nice. What do you life nice that's pretty

incredible that sounds like i made up that tattoo but i have another friend who has that tattoo my goodness all right how much how much money would me by me i mean the listeners have to give you you have to get a you have to get a tattoo it's a it's one of those ones with the heart yeah and then the scroll across the heart. And then in the scroll, it says podcasting. I don't think there's any amount of money that I would get that because I make enough money where I'm not desperate for money. I live an okay life. It's neither good nor bad.

I think if I was in debt, I'd be like 50 grand. Yeah, wow, okay. Wow. But yeah. All right, well, look, that one was just a... Obviously, that's the joke one. Yes. But here's the one you'd actually love.

Right. The same thing, except it says YouTube. That's so much worse. Oh, dear. No, nothing ever. Do you ever watch No Ordinary Family? Harry has said No Ordinary Family. I don't know what that is.

That was the one where superheroes and one was chickless. Remember? No, you're thinking of the Fantastic Four movie. No, it was like the- They're No Ordinary Family, let me tell you. It was like The Incredibles, but it was a live action. Do you remember? Not really, no.

I remember the name. It had Dexter's girlfriend in it or whatever. No, absolutely. Do you remember? I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'm just saying if you'd said what was No Ordinary Family, I would guess what it was. I would have said like a Bob's Burgers-esque cartoon series. Okay, sure.

But you're saying it's a live action superhero show. I'm fairly confident. Starring Michael Chiklis. Were there... I'm going to Google that. But yes, that's what I'm saying. Were there costumes involved? I don't know.

Okay. Yeah, it had Michael Chiklis in it. I was right. It's got a 6.9 on IMDB. That's pretty good. There's 20 episodes in it in 2010. Mason, have you found one? Look, I've been talking, all right?

But you're looking at your phone. Yeah, I know. Are you looking at a different thing? Are you shopping? Look, I had to text somebody because it was their birthday. I just remembered that. Jesus. I guess it's near midnight. You've got to get in. That's true, yeah. A lot of people said Hannibal. Did I mention that? You did mention Hannibal, yeah. Is that Cliffhanger? I'm still meaning to watch that. I really want to

watch Hannibal. I mean, it does Cliffhanger, but only in the sense that the entirety of Hannannibal is a prequel to hannibal to all the hannibal movies but they're not the same universe though are they no that's true but i mean realistically they are this is the when we watch the movie silence of the lambs and they talk about how yeah hannibal ended up where he is it's the events of hannibal the tv series so at some point it would have had to turn into hannibal manhunter and then silence of the lambs or red dragon or whatever whatever the ones were yeah christopher says the league of extraordinary gentlemen the hand sticking out of the grave but then nathan says a hand doesn't

stick out of the grave in the movie i don't remember a hand but i remember it being implied that sean connery was going to return and he wasn't really dead. Alan Quatermain. Yes, right. But then he never made another movie. That's very true. Yeah, see, that's, again, I think... Is that not enough for you?

No, I was going to say that's absolutely right and the sweet spot of the game is on there. Okay, yeah, yeah. It's very heavily implied that he's coming back there. I also don't recall a hand coming out of the grave. No. I don't think it did. I remember, like, the ground shaking and there was lightning. Yeah, uh-huh.

And there was, like, voodoo dancing or something. I don't remember that. I think I'm fairly... I don't know. Charlie says, can you say loads of shit about the ending of Dexter? It really posed me off. I will.

Okay. Okay, but is this a... Dexter's not really a cliffhanger. It's not really a cliffhanger, is it? Because they weren't like, we're going to put this out here and you're going to want another season. Like, they did six years of it or something, right?

I mean, it ends with, I'm going to spoil Dexter like I've spoiled all of these. I don't really think it's a cliffhanger. It's kind of unresolved where he gives his kid to somebody else, Yvonne Stratsv-Winskevy. Now, if I recall correctly,

he gives his son to somebody else because he doesn't want the son to be raised by a serial killer, but the woman he gives it to is a serial killer, right? Okay, terrific. Which is slightly more empathetic than him. Also, I don't think he's... You know who's slightly more empathetic than him?

Who? Everybody else in the world who is not a serial killer. And then he becomes a lumberjack. But apparently the ending of Dexter that they wanted, the creators, were he was going to get the lethal injection. They were going to catch him and he'd look out to the crowd and the crowd would be everybody he's murdered. And he's seeing them and then they kill him.

Right. But they went, but what if we want to bring back Dexter? We can't have him murdered. So just say that part was a joke. Like that is amazing because they're like, we're going to do a death sequence for this character that features a lot of fantastical elements. Specifically, he sees all the dead people he murdered, but they're still alive. Yes. So they can't, that astounds me. They couldn't reverse. elements specifically he sees all the dead people he murdered but they're still alive yes so they can't it's that astounds me they couldn't reverse they couldn't go hey let's look at it from the

other angle let's say that he imagined he was murdered but he wasn't yeah he just had a bad dream and he woke up yep no he's a lumberjack yeah great okay terrific so he's still out there lumberjacking about yeah terrific yeah He's a real lumberjacker. Yeah. Have you got one, Mason? Oh, Peter Ritchie on the group suggested the Ghostbusters reboot. Yeah. Which ends with they are all listening in on some sort of phantasmagorical listening device, some sort of supernatural thing, and they're like,

oh, there's some movement of the psychokinetic waters or whatever. Yeah. And they're like, it's saying Zool, which of course was the villain in the original Ghostbusters. Because Zool's from another dimension. Yes. So this is a,

you could connect the movies through dimensional riffs. Which I think maybe they do in the comic books. I think they do, yeah. But I don't think that. I think I think maybe they do in the comic books. I think they do, yeah. But I don't think that. I think the universes are tied together in the comics. They're not making another one of those. I wouldn't think so.

It did make a lot of money. Yeah, right. It did, well, ish. A lot of people said I Am Number Four. I don't remember. I think he fought a monster. I don't remember. Terrific.

But that was one of those. I didn't mind that movie from memory. What is I Am Number Four? It's one of those, you're a teen and you think your life's good, whatever, but you're the most powerful man in the universe or something. Oh, terrific. One of those, you're the most special person, but there's like seven other special people because he's four.

I don't know. That's not it. But you know what I mean? Yeah. And a lot of people have also said Thundercats from 2011, which a lot of people seem to be a fan of. I bet it's better than the original Thundercats, not having seen it. Yeah.

You didn't see the Mr. TV show. Luke has mentioned that. No, that's just recent though, right? Isn't it? Yes. Tell me about it. I can't. Okay.

So that's it. David also said Jumper. He finds his mother and his sister and the game was on. And also from memory, he leaves Samueluel jackson on a mountaintop on a rooftop no he's not in a mountaintop he leaves him at the side of a mountain in a cave that's right he can never get out of there and at the end samuel jackson's like well played well played no you're gonna die there idiot yeah he's just killed you because he's a member of a fanatical religious order that wants to kill all these teleporting people at all costs like it's

his only goal in the world he's rabid about it he's a monster this character and then he then and he's blonde yeah and the final jumper leaves him the hayden christiansen is it yes leaves him in the side of the mountain and then samuel jackson gets this like this twinkle in his eye this wry smile on his face and like this far away look like oh you've you got me oh well played the jumper yeah and his mum ran the agency all right okay that's why it's connected or whatever I don't remember hating jumper no but I think it was one of those movies that there should have been more to it yeah there should have been a wider universe I don't know a jumper reverse a jumper jump reverse that's what they were building towards mason i guess so uh anish says

green lantern where it teases sinestro at the end boy does it yeah it's the only bit of that movie i like where he becomes a yellow lantern that's right yeah and then that's not it's not a good movie but yeah that's very much gamers on a lot of people said the italian job the original one because it ends with a literal cliff it does it does literally end with the cliffhanger that's very much intentional i feel can we never know that for sure though yes there we go i did it um like a lot of recent ones that we've we're probably also missing the really recent ones that we talk about like independence day resurgence is obviously like yeah let's go into space. I feel like we've mentioned it last week. We can't mention it again. We can't mention it again, yeah. Oh, man.

Okay, I'm going to find a real sweet one. And then we'll wrap it up. Okay, cool. All right, here we go. Here we bloody go, all right? You ready for this? I'm ready. Also, we've definitely forgotten a bunch of ones from this.

So we're sorry we didn't include your favorite one. Oh, James Sanford. Look, this isn't an ending. Here we go. bunch of ones from this so we're sorry we didn't include your favorite one oh james sanford look this isn't here we go no we should probably shouldn't end on this because this might then this might lead to some disagreement okay he said the nightmare sequence in batman v superman is that an unresolved is that unresolved i don't think you can say that until it's done right but also i feel like you i think that's a plot point i was gonna say i think maybe you we've talked about this recently and you maybe not even on the show but you mentioned that that is resolved when they use lois to yeah when they when they when they use lois to break

the when they bring superman back from the dead by throwing the magic box at him. Yes. And he comes back and he's clearly gone a bit mad. He doesn't like it. That is what is going to lead to the nightmare world because presumably the sequence of events is, and this is probably an accident, but I guess if you really want to, you can join the dots.

He goes mad. He kills everybody except Batman who goes into hiding. Then Steppenwolf comes down. Yep. I assume Superman kills Steppenwolf. Then he encounters Darkseid and then maybe they team up. Yeah. And then the nightmare world is Superman and darkseid presiding over a horrible

world that they've destroyed and the only resistance is batman and other people right some other but in all but what they do is they show superman the power of love with lois by getting lois lane also in what sequel in what universe did they not go and get lois lane you know what i mean? Yeah, yep. Well, I guess the one where the Flash didn't come back in time and tell him to do it. Oh, okay, I guess so. Scream at him. Yeah, I guess that's true.

So anyway, they show Superman the power of love and they show him Lois Lane and he's like, okay, I'm fine again. So that universe no longer exists, I guess. But it's the most interesting part of that movie. So why doesn't it? Yeah, okay. We were talking about awake before

i know what awake is now okay tell me about it rick says awake is he asleep or is he not asleep so awake was um is this about my life yeah because i'm asleep you're asleep okay it's got uh jason isaacs yes you may know from many things you may know him from the movie dragon heart thank you so he has an accident right he's in a car with his wife it's i like the premise is with his wife and his kid right uh-huh and he and he kills one of them right yeah in one reality where he's awake his kid is dead yes and and his wife's alive and when he goes to sleep he wakes up in a different reality where his wife is dead and his kids alive. And it's like, which is-

It's a real Sophie's Choice scenario, isn't it? So he doesn't know which- That's a reference I don't fully understand because I've never seen Sophie's Choice. Very good. But neither have I, so I can't explain it for you. But he- I think it's something about picking a kid, isn't it? Neither have seen us.

That seems like we're in a real Sophie's Choice situation. You know what I mean? So you don't know which is real or if they're both real or whatever. But also, which one is he going to pick? Yeah. And I think also, well, he can't because he just goes to sleep and he's in the other one. But also, I think, I don't know whether the show ended up capitalising on it,

but when I saw it, he should have used one dimension to solve the crimes of another because he was a cop. Yeah, right. But he didn't seem to do that, to be like, well, I found out this information from this guy in this dimension. Now I can a cop. Yeah, right. But he didn't seem to do that, to be like, well, I found out this information from this guy in this dimension. Now I can use that and I can apply that here because they're essentially the same world with slight differences. Got anything else or are we going to wrap it up?

No, that'll do it. Good. A lot of people do not like how Sarah Connor Chronicles ended. Yeah, right. My goodness. Because it also ends in a universe where when they go to the future and he meets Derek Reese, nobody knows who John Connor is. No.

So it's kind of a real situation. It is a situation. Thank you. But now if anyone has any other ones, please let us know, and we will acknowledge that through a like on a Twitter, won't we, Mason? I don't like anything on Twitter. Then we won't acknowledge it ever. It's just a sub.

It's not even a... I just never did it. And now it's an OCD thing. And so I can't start doing it. Why don't you just do one? How about I do one? One very special listener will get one like. Very good.

Who's it going to be? Do you think it could be me? No. Okay. No. Well, I'm not gonna okay you're gonna say that sucks for me obviously you could have at least said maybe and then i could have lived oh that's true no but it's better rip the band-aid off i say you know you're a bad bloke

no you are all right you know what's time for what's the time for what we're reading what we're gonna read i'm doing the thing What are we reading today? What are you reading? I watched all Luke Cage season 2 And? It's good, I liked it Okay, that's good to hear I like that

On the one hand And I said this to somebody earlier in the week On the one hand I hate it No, normally with these Especially recently with these shows Yeah Again, they're 13 episodes hate it no no normally with these like especially recently with these shows yeah again they're 13 episodes

and I'm kind of slogging through them and I can't kind of can't wait for them to end Jessica Jones which I wanted to like which was

I didn't find that great Iron Fist didn't find that great this one I got to the last episode and I'm like oh that was a breeze I really breezed through that but at the same time

I was on my phone for a lot of it. Okay, yeah. They're very on-your-phone shows. Also, you didn't shotgun them in a weekend. Yeah, I think maybe that's also the key here is that all the previous ones, I've kind of felt like I've had that I'm like,

well, it seems to be like us and the people who listen to the show and people we know or we're all like, it comes out on Friday we gotta watch it all by Monday so we can all talk about it on Monday kind of thing and so we just slog through it and then we

stop enjoying it but I think we should just cruise through it I had a much better time I wasn't like, oh man, well it'sm. and I've got five more episodes to watch. So I better, I'll just, if they're 49 minutes each, I guess I can be done by 5.15 or whatever. Yeah, you don't know.

That's not very fun, is it? No. Okay, well, that's the way to do it. Yeah. I think a lot of them are put them on and do something else. I didn't think all the musical performances were as good this time around. But, yeah, what can you do? I'm not going to do anything.

I'm going to keep doing my life. What else? While you're thinking, I've watched a thing. Okay, I was going to say I've got some stuff to say about Luke Cage. Okay, what else? You know, it's got some themes to it, which I didn't think were as heavy-handed as the last season of Jessica Jones. Okay, sure.

Because he's got a lot of anger. Yeah. Spoiler for the first episode of Luke Cage, Claire leaves because he's too much of an angry man and he sort of had to deal with that. But I don't know. It wasn't looked into as deeply as I thought it would be or should be. That being said, there is an episode with Iron Fist.

Isn't that good? People say that's good. And Iron Fist is good?'s good yeah do you see the dragon you never see the mention the dragon it does mention the dragon yeah but it's look it's it's a team up the it's all it's what i've wanted which is i'm power man and iron fist teaming up iron fist spends almost the entire episode wearing a hoodie that says sweet christmas on the back nice that's pretty good okay um if you got does that mean you're like oh i might be keen on the next iron fist i didn't look the the problem with the last iron fist there were a few problems but i think poor writing was one yeah and poor action choreography was that was a bigger point of contention for me. Yeah.

Well, the dog's here. Should we let her in? I'll let the dog in. Why do you keep talking about that and I'll bloody let her in? Well, yeah, I mean, the issues that I had with season one, Iron Fist,

are... One... Because there's nothing... Like, I think we mentioned this before, but the... There's nothing inherently wrong with Finn Jones. I thought he's quite likable when he's written to be like. He's an inherently likable man.

It's just he was written to be a whiny character. And there's never any pushback on him being whiny. Until The Defenders. Until The Defenders. Nobody's ever like, what are you doing with your life kind of thing like it's just accepted that he's this he's spouting all this fortune cookie wisdom and he's also really angry and he's also really whiny and nobody's ever like you've got to work on this part of your life yeah yeah and your attitude or whatever which is something that

should be you know addressed in that and also the fact that he's not he's not a trained martial artist finn jones the actor but again like neither was keanu reeves or laurence fishburne or carrie ann moss before the matrix i mean they had more time well that's what i'm saying that they given that it's a show about martial arts you either want to frame it correctly so it looks like he knows what he's doing or give him so much time to learn so i put a mask on him and get someone else get a stunt guy to do it exactly iron fist wears a mask yeah exactly um but they didn't do that and they weren't you saying that they just sometimes they on the day apparently they were just like here now you punch this and do this

and kick and flip or whatever yeah and he had 10 minutes to learn it and then so it looked kind of and that can work if, you know, if you shoot it the right way, I feel even, or you cut it the right way. But yeah, I mean,

they, like you said, they're doing 13 hours of this or whatever. Yeah. Right. And I say, and some of them are against some of the martial arts in this was like, even in the couple of scenes, he's in the action scenes.

He's in, it's still a bit. Really? Do you think it's him? No, that's the thing. I don't think it's him. I think it's, they just go scenes he's in it's still a bit really do you think it's him no that's the thing i don't think it's him i think it's they just go i think because it's tv and it's tv money i think they just go but then look at daredevil yeah that's true i don't know but but i guess in this instance it's just because he's in one episode yeah or like one and five minutes yeah get it right for that one yeah it's weird but i think they're filming him at the

moment as well maybe it's and it might it might also be a failure of like maybe the director goes okay we'll just punch and swing and punch or whatever and we'll fix it in editing and then they get to the editing they go oh actually we can't fix this how's the luke cage action ah because i thought it was pretty generic from the last series like he just kind of walk into a building and everyone would just shoot bullets at him it's better in this one i think because there's more it's him a lot of the fight sequences of him it's him versus bushmaster who's the new guy right and he's got a new fighting style that that that luke cage is probably not used to and it's like it's it's not like, remember the final sequence of the first season

where it was him and Diamondback just punching on with each other. It was just kind of quite generic. Yes, I remember. Bushmaster is more like a Capoeira kind of guy. So he's more like somersaults and stuff. Oh, somersaults and stuff. So it's more interesting, I think, yeah.

Okay, cool. I don't know. And I also think like in this one, him walking down the street and people pumping bullets at him, it's played more for laughs in a lot of cases. There's a lot of like, and I think it's in one of the trailers where a whole bunch of dudes pull guns on him and he's like, are you serious? And they're like, well, we got to say we tried.

And then they just machine gun him and he just cleans them up. So I don't know. I thought it was more fun. Okay, cool. All right. Well well that's really good to hear yes i just quickly i've been watched a couple episodes of man in the high castle i'll also um i also started i re-watched some of the defenders as well and which i maintain is still fun okay yeah good it should be better though yes no i think it's still good it's fun stuff remember the bit out the whole thing was about dragon bones under the yeah but if they took was about dragon bones? Yeah, it was pretty good.

But if they took out the dragon bones, the city would fall down. Yeah, I remember that. So New York is built on dragon bones. Yeah. Now that I think about it, the Defenders, the game is kind of on with that one. I guess so. I mean, they're going to make more Daredevil and they're going to make more whatever, but how did they get out of that?

They teleported probably. Who cares? Or a portal. Probably a portal. You know what they did. You're familiar with Man in the High Castle? Yes. It's 1962, but the Nazis and Japan won the war, World War II.

Yes. Not the war. There's been a few. The good one, the best one. The best one, sure. They call it Best War II. Yeah, so it's kind of that universe. But also, there's something else going on there.

Well, I mean, I'm sure a lot of people have already seen this, but there's stuff that shows up that went, maybe this didn't go, maybe it wasn't strictly that they won. There's some other stuff going on. Oh, okay, right. Yeah. So you don't, this isn't a series that ends with, this isn't a series that begins with, and just so you know, bloody.

Yeah. That's how it starts. Like, it's America, but it's been Nazi-ified, basically. And it's also under the... Well, half and half, and half is Japan. Yeah, right, right, right. Under Japanese rule. And it's also the implication that, hey, Hitler's still around,

but if he dies, this war between Germany and Japan is going to kick off on American soil. Right, okay, right. So I'm a few in but no i quite that's really interesting so how many seasons we got of this i think it's only i might be three at the moment actually yeah okay it's on one of the streaming services i have it's amazon i'm fairly confident on that one um i had many thoughts about this what is one of them is this so you're a season in no i'm two episodes in oh you're two episodes in right

right you're a phone mason yeah i know i love my phone my phone's got everything in the world in it you're just a man that's true i don't have that much information no that's very true i guess my my question is uh is have you been informed is there a lot of twists and turns in this series there's stuff set up which I think will pay off, which it's got me intrigued. Okay. Do you think there's any scope for, is it a sci-fi universe

or is it just an alternate history universe? It might be both. Okay. But I don't know yet. Right. Yeah. Okay. I don't know.

So do you think that, because this is based on a book. Yes. So I guess I actually, which I've not read, is it a Heinlein book? Robert A. Heinlein? I couldn't tell you. It doesn't matter. Yes. It's one of those guys. Yeah, it's one of those guys. book yes so i guess i i actually which i've not read is it a heimlin book robert a heimlin i couldn't tell you it doesn't matter yeah uh yes it's one of those guys yeah it's one of those

one of those dead guys oh harlan ellison died this week did he yeah okay it's a shame how old too old oh too old i don't know well then thank god yeah right no too young so harlan ellison for anybody who doesn't know he wrote how old he he wrote a whole bunch of sci-fi stuff. He's notoriously cranky, but like a lovable crank. He wrote the classic sci-fi short story, I Have No Remember How I Screamed. I was going to say, that's a spooky book, man. And he wrote The City on the Edge of Forever, which is the Star Trek episode that introduces time travel. He introduced The Guardian of Forever, which is like a weird portal on a distant planet

that's like, what's going on with you? And they're like, we want to travel through time. And it's like, okay then. Careful now. It doesn't talk like that. We will. Thanks, Guardian of the Edge of Forever. Wait, sorry.

Now I wasn't paying attention. Was that the Star Trek episode you're talking about or was that a different thing you were talking about? No. Was that the Star Trek episode you're talking about or was that a different thing you were talking about? No, that's the Star Trek episode. Yeah, it's a portal. Do you step into the mouth of the guy who's talking? No. Jump into my portal mouth.

It's just a voice. Be careful. So what I'm saying is, I guess, with The Man in the High Castle, is there... We don't know because you're two episodes in. I don't know. But I wonder if there's any scope. Do you think it's one of those shows where they might it might be a weird time travel time travel issue but i don't know okay right i should get into it we got to do

letters mason letters the classic one was letters oh letters we love you some letters They're only a day away I know they're here right now We're going to do letters If you want to reach us Throw a hashtag WeeklyPlanetPod on Twitter Or email at WeeklyPlanetPod at gmail.com

Correct Mason's already got a letter I've got some letters He's so ahead of the bloody game Do you want to read that letter Or do you want me to read a tweet first? Let's see I to read that letter or do you want me to read a tweet first? Let's see. I will read a letter.

Okay. This is from Clint Crane. Good. This says, amputee's opinion of skyscraper movie. Here we go. So this is Clint. He's been an amputee for four years from this Monday. And we've been talking about One Legger Die Hard.

Happy amputee-versary. Correct. Yeah, that's exactly right. Good. He's been listening to the show. It was very, very nice. This show? Yes, yes, this show.

Oh, cool, great. Just the show generally. It's awesome. He checked out the trailer. After watching it, it appears to me the only reason he's an amputee is so he can get that bit of him hanging from a prosthetic leg that is slipping off. It's kind of a weird reason to create a fake amputee man. But that being said, having Dwayne Johnson represent amputees

is kind of cool, considering the only other amputees people talk about are the Olympian that murdered his wife and the dolphin. Yeah, the dolphin's good. Yeah, sure, but the other one, not as much. Which is interesting, and I... There's that surfer girl amputee. That's true. She's got her arm pinned off by a shark

There's a dude who's got his arm pinned under a rock Mr. 127 Hours James Franco There's Claw obviously Claw obviously Who I think should be a role model for children Captain Hook Yeah

But I think it's interesting Coulson That's also true There's a couple But they're not real amputees And they're not A-list celebrity stars. Certainly not. I guess the question is, because he's obviously not a real amputee,

should they have gotten an actor who is an amputee, I wonder? But at the same time, you know, this sort of movie needs star power to get it going, I guess. Yeah, no, I see. I understand why they didn't because i don't i don't know of any actors who well no there's no there are none there's no actors of that caliber yeah caliber status i should say yeah um duane johnson oftentimes for amputees in in shows or acting they're like can you be a zombie yeah exactly so we could can you be the guy who gets his foot shot

off in terminator 2 yeah exactly yeah yeah so uh no yeah. So, no, I see why they didn't do that. No. Yeah. So he's saying, so he's kind of like, it's kind of, it's not great if that's the reason they're using it, but at the same time, let's shed some light on it. Yeah. Anyway, Clint's just saying he's excited for this to either give my people praise or ruin them forever.

Yeah. So that's pretty good. Yeah. So he says pretty good. Yeah. So he says something nice about the show. He listens to us every week. And after being in a boating accident. Jesus. Yeah, I know, right?

He gets to throw around all kinds of Australian slang at his fellow Americans. Good. I listen to the pod as I'm running around trails getting stared at by everyone. He wants to be the official amputee of the podcast. I think we can do that. Do you think he's got a sweet leg?

I think so. Yeah. He says if... Can you ask him? You're not talking to him. Correct. No, that's... Yeah.

Have you got a running... Because you can get the blade leg and you can get the special running leg. Yeah, true, true. Do you have a special running leg? If you could let us know. Yeah, let us know. I assume you're listening to this while running. So if you could point your phone down and take a photo and send it,

that would be good. Absolutely. If we could wish him a happy one-leg-iversary, I think we can do that. 100%. Yes. Amputee-iversary. Yes.

Whatever it is, yeah. Good on him, man. That's great. But yeah, but there's more diversity in movies. Well, that's the thing. Just more stuff. Yeah, right? Yeah.

Just stuff we haven't seen. Or a character who is an amputee and it never comes up. Yeah, right. Exactly. Yeah. Anytime you see a character in a movie who's an amputee, that's going to come up in the show. Yes. Oh, here's actually, now that we're talking about it, Misty Knight in the...

Oh, yeah, right. She has a robot arm. I mean, she's slightly stronger than a regular person yes but it never really like it never how's it look it's just a it's just a regular arm with some ah it's like it's not here's the thing okay no no it's just a regular arm um if we can go back to that just for a second what i like about it is that there's a this is in the trailer i think for luke cage is the there's a point where she's like she's kind of forlorn and she's missing the arm or whatever and she gets a a note from colleen and danny yeah and it's like you know if you if you need help let us know because we've got something that works

for you and it's just like a rand enterprises schematic sheet with like a like a hand-drawn robotic arm on it like it's not a diagram it's just like a hand-drawn arm it's like danny was just like we should give her a cool robot arm and it should look like this and he's just said it to his engineers and they're like i guess yeah we can do that i suppose does it work just like a regular pretty much yeah is it the only disappointing well that's the thing and i guess that for the most part like she's just a regular cop and it doesn't affect her life like she's a yeah she's a bit stronger because it's the enhanced strength of the arm but more or less she's just the same the only disappointing thing i feel about it is when she gets the arm put on there's like a red button in

between her thumb and her palm why that's the thing i don't know and i'm it's it's like the punisher in the minigun situation where we see it's like the Punisher in the minigun situation where we see it in the trailer. He's got the minigun, but he never uses it. It looks like a button. And I'm like, in the comic books, her arm's got all sorts of cool stuff in it. Like a flamethrower or something.

It's got like a sonic cannon that can like liquefy metal and all this sort of stuff. And I'm like, oh, she's going to use that. Like in the fight, she's going to hit that button and all sorts of things are going to pop off. Never does. It's a good thing, though. I don't think it's even a button maybe.

Because that's not a good spot. No. You hit that all the time. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, okay. Interesting. Yeah. So I guess that's progress.

I mean, again, she's a little bit enhanced, but it's not like- And they're not like, wow, great arm. Like that's not a major plot point after she gets it. She just carries on with her day. Exactly. Yeah, yeah. Okay, cool. This is from Vic.

He says, hashtag with the planet pod. Hey, dickheads. Nah, you're. Yeah, yeah. Okay, cool. This is from Vic. He says, hashtag weekly planet pod. Hey, dickheads. Nah, you're all right. That was a wild ride. Dodged that bullet. Have either of you been watching Cloak and Dagger? I'm really liking it so far, and I remember you guys talking about the trailers, but never the actual show.

I haven't seen it. I also haven't seen it. I thought it was good, though. People have... It's not... I don't think it's on anything we can get legally. Yeah, that might be true. It's on Pivot TV or something.

Oh, man. That's my favorite. Channel Pivot or something. Channel Pivot. What's it called? I don't know. I don't know. Apparently they referenced some Defender stuff or something.

Okay, right. It's all linked, Mason. I think there might be a Luke Cage reference, yeah. Did they mention the dragon bones under the sea? I would hope so. Yeah, me too. Here's a letter from Jose Arrueda. I'm ready.

Massacred that. This is about Infinity War. So spoilers if you haven't seen Infinity War. I've seen it. Look, it just says, Iron Man is in accordance with the Sokovia Accords. So when Thanos' Black Order attacks, how is he allowed to respond right away?

The whole point of civil war is to have oversight. There was no oversight at all. He went straight into the fight and caused destruction as always. I'll tell you why. He's rich. He's rich. He can do what he wants. He can do whatever he wants. think for those things it's just you can't plan out like

a tactical operation and not tell anybody yeah right but if you're in the city and then an alien invasion comes down yep you can't you got a bit of free run that's self-defense i guess yeah it is and also i don't think he gives a shit i think i think the Sokovia Accords mean anybody but me. Everybody except me needs to abide by some rules. Your bank balance must be this high to ignore the Sokovia Accords. Correct, yeah. But also, he's there. I don't think he gives a shit at that point.

No, that's true. None of them do. Yeah. What's going on? This is a nice thing, Mason. I'm ready. Sean says, I'm curious if you guys have ever taken any comedy improv classes or are you just naturally that funny?

This is all scripted. Wow, shucks. We even wrote that letter to compliment ourselves. We were like, what's a plausible name for this? What's a plausible name? Sean? Yeah, Sean. That's a name a man has.

A man would have. Yeah, a cool man. So we seem cooler. Because a cool man named Sean is suggesting we're cool. That's right. I know I haven't. I'm fairly confident you haven't. I hate performing.

You're funnier than me. Stop it. Yeah. Stop it. Oh, my God. Why did we write this in? Who wrote this? Yeah, why did we write this in?

Look, we took a vote. Yeah, but no, this is just, I don't know. I think also we're good at this specific thing. Yeah. I think if either of us did stand up or anything like that, or I know I'd be really terrible at it, but Mason's just drinking. He's seeing if he can drink and talk at the same time.

No, he can't. He had another skill. No, that was me. That was my ventriloquism right there. Does that ever interest you to take any classes or anything like that? I don't like performing in front of a crowd. Sure, yeah. Which people will be aware of because we've only done like two live things.

But there might be more coming up. There'll be more coming up. Yeah, we've decided. Because Claire's making us. Claire's making us do it. Watch this space, everyone. Watch for other stuff Claire makes us do. Yeah.

Was that a bit like self-aggrandizing to put that thing in? Nah. I guess the point of me putting it in would be saying is you don't have to do any of that stuff. You can just make something. It doesn't matter. You don't have to be good at anything. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you can just do it.

Just make the thing. Yeah, that's right. Any more, Mason? Let's see. I've got one more here. Okay, go for it. Eduardo Silva says, hey, Nick and James, this week I found out I have leukemia.

How about a shout out? That's fucking horrible. Yeah, good luck. Sorry to hear that, man. That's no good. So shout out. Yes. Yeah, I don't know if there's... You're going to be fine.

Yeah, no, that's really terrible. I don't know. Medical science is advancing at all times. This isn't an area... All the times. This is way out of my wheelhouse. Yeah, but that really sucks. Best of luck to you.

Absolutely. We'll be here in your ears, or probably better for you, out of your ears. Yeah. Is that it? Oh, this is from John Tiedemann. Okay. Since James has announced that the 90s are back, I had some thoughts about movies set in eras of the past.

Do you think they are leaning too heavily on the eras for nostalgia rather than focusing on how that time period could influence the plot because you know how like in you know how like in there are a lot of movies set in the past or in the past where it's like well if they had mobile phones they could just fix this in two seconds kind of thing do you think it's do you enjoy a movie set in the past where it's like this is a race against the clock and they can't just call somebody from a mobile phone and fix everything kind of thing? Yeah, I do enjoy that. Instead of just like, look at this poster of Home Alone or whatever.

Yeah, right, exactly. I think if you're going to set it in the past, there needs to be a reason. Like either that story that you're telling is from that time or this particular, like you said, there's a, you know,

it makes it, it adds to the narrative. Yeah. It's like you're talking about with the, that movie about the, the sex monster that attracts people around the globe. It follows. Yeah.

Like if that, that's set now, but it doesn't make any sense that it would be set now. Cause they're again, like I think Reddit would figure it out. Reddit would figure out a, like everybody would get together and they'd be just like okay we're gonna do this in shifts yeah and if anybody wants to get laid by a weird monster just okay line yourselves up and we'll

figure out a roster system and then we'll go to europe we'll go to europe and like okay well okay you're it and then we'll crowdfund a really long plane trip for you. You can go on holiday, and then we can do that. And they would figure it out, and then the It Follows monster would never catch up to them. Exactly. And also, when enough people have had the virus, they could just corner it and just beat it to death. That's absolutely so true. Yeah.

I just think that by going back in time and taking away modern tropes like DNA analysis that is completed in seconds, it makes the story have to lean on the protagonist to solve the problem by grading creative or being smart rather than taking care of things. I reckon, yeah. Yeah, right. I mean, that's a whole genre of like CSI. Sure, yeah. Like, well, just use the lasers on that. Oh, it's made a picture of the killer's face. Cool, that's sorted.

Yeah. Exactly, yeah. That's such lazy. Caught a reflection off the killer's face. Cool, that's sorted. Exactly. That's such lazy... Caught a reflection off the whatever. And I think some of it is, you know, technology. I enjoy modern day stories where the tech is not infallible. And a lot of people are like, oh, look at all... You know, there's always like, oh, look at this supercut of movies

where the phones don't work or whatever. My phone didn't work yesterday. Yeah, that's right. Claire was trying to watch the Logies before. Didn't work. It wasn't working. Yeah. Sometimes you just get no signal for no reason.

Exactly. Or you have a full battery and it's an old phone and then your battery runs out of charge in an hour or whatever. And you're sad. That's why you have like 14 cases. I've got 14 charges on me at all times. That's right. What a world.

Do you think that's the show though? I think that's the show. I also think that's the show. It's been a bit of a longer one. I hope you don't mind, Mason. I don't mind at all times. That's right, yeah. What a world. Do you think that's the show, though? I think that's the show. I also think that's the show. It's been a bit of a longer one. I hope you don't mind, Mason. I don't mind at all. Great. I love shows.

Bradley, the average listen time of this show is 48 minutes without people hitting pause. Oh, really? Yeah. They can tell that. They can tell from the stats. Even if you download the thing to your phone. Yes.

Wow. I don't know, man. Maybe it's not. All right. Look, that's... I wasn't ready for any follow-up questions. Okay, sure, sure, sure. Right, all right.

You wanted to just be a whiz-bang fancy man with all the answers, but you didn't got no answers. I had one answer. No, that's true. You did have one answer. What do you got? Oh, okay. Take us home.

20 minutes. I don't know how they coordinated it. Look, I'm 100% not on board with pranks generally, but it's madness. I mean, it's harmless, isn't it? Is the host losing their mind? Yes. It's from a few years ago. It's madness. I mean, it's harmless, isn't it? Yeah, for sure. Is the host losing their mind? Yes.
