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 Ms. Oiz. This is my co-host, Nick Mason. Here we are. We're going to be talking known as Mr. Sunder with Ms. Oiz. This is my co-host, Nick Mason. Here we are. We're going to be talking about stuff. News. Yeah.

Events. Yes. Current events? Oh, no. Uncurrent events. Yeah. Okay, fair enough. Good.

Would you want to talk about a current event that's set in a not current event during a not current event? Any before now? How about that? Yes? Is that what you want? Yeah, great. Yes.

I guess. I don't know. I don't know. This show's had a weird start already It certainly has I wasn't sure where it was going to go The answer is nowhere apparently But let's fire it up

We're getting started Robin Wright Penn will be back for Wonder Woman 84 Spoiler alert for I guess Wonder Woman regular Not 84 She dies in that movie She's murdered by Is it a soldier? Yeah, she gets shot by a soldier.

That's right, on the beach. That's right, exactly, yeah. She loves battle, and then she gets in a battle. She's like, man, maybe I don't like battle so much. No. I only liked battle really

when I was winning battles, but now I'm not. It's a real turn up for me. I regret everything. I regret being an Amazon warrior woman because I'm dead now. Do you think she's getting a second chance in this Wonder Woman 84? Do you think it's flashbacks? Oh, I think it's probably

flashbacks. I reckon there's going to be flashbacks to Wonder Woman and her and Themyscira and she's going to be like, but I don't know how to be a warrior woman. Robin Wright Penn? I'm the president. Just do more Penn. And she'll be like, I'm the president. Just do more swordsmanship.

Yeah. She'd be like, okay, I will. And then later she'll use that swordsmanship. To win. To win. In 84. In some sort of neon drenched nightclub. But if Steve Trevor's back.

Yeah, but you can't have everybody come back. No, I know. I'm just saying, do you think there's just a possibility that she'll just be back? I mean, I can't rule it out. You can't. Yeah. But I mean, I can't rule it out. You can't. Yeah. But I agree. Yeah.

Flashback where she teaches her a lesson about wielding a sword and something. Yeah. And the power of doing a specific move. Unless her and Chris Pine come back as some sort of 80s power couple. Oh, man. They'd be good 80s power couples. Yeah, sure. Okay.

What if it's not Chris Pine? Like, it is Chris Pine, obviously. but what if it's not Steve Trevor? I think that would be interesting if it's just not him. Yeah. Just a guy who looks like him. Well, yeah. I mean, that was one of the conceits of the Wonder Woman TV series. There was more Steve Trevors, weren't there?

Yeah. So the first season was set during World War II and Wonder Woman was in love with Steve Trevor. Yes. And then it flashed forward. The second season was in the modern era and there was just Steve Trevor's grandson who was the same actor.

Right, right. Grandson? I think so. It'd be son, right? I don't know. Yeah, okay. I can't remember when those shows came out. Sure.

I don't know. Sorry, probably son. Did you ever cross over with Gilligan's Island? Look, I can't rule it out. We certainly can't. I'm sure there would have been a scene where she's on Gilligan's Island. Yeah, yeah. And the skipper is teaching her how to be a better swordswoman.

You know? I understand. But the skipper, I don't know how to be the best Wonder Woman I can be. And the skipper's like, come here, little buddy. Whapped with a hat? With a hat, yeah. Did you ever watch Gilligan's Island? I must have, but I don't remember anything about it.

I don't remember much of it. I remember watching- I'm glad I could pull the skipper because that's- Sure. I remember them watching the Harlem Globetrotters play a team of robots on Gilligan's Island. I remember thinking, what has this got to do with whatever this show is about? The premise always seemed to be that whenever there was a famous guest star, they would somehow manage to make it off the island.

They would crash on the island, like the Harlem Globetrotters, and then they would somehow escape. I think this was set after, because they escape, and then they, yeah, I think it was a movie, like it was like a telly movie or something. Back to Gilligan's Island, I think. And what was really hilarious about this basketball match... Besides everything. Besides everything,

was that the robots were really good, like, mechanically at playing basketball. And someone had the idea of Harlem Globetrotters to be like, use all your Harlem Globetrotters tricks. And they're like, oh, yeah, we should. So they hadn't been using them. And then they're using the ladders and...

Yeah, right. Doing a flip and whatever they do. Yeah, for sure. And all that kind of stuff. So there you go. You're right, that is incredible. Incredible. Yeah.

You'd open with that, wouldn't you? I mean, that's what you'd do. Yeah. They'll bring a little trampoline onto the court. Yeah. There are no rules. Why aren't we using our Harlem Globetrotters tricks? I mean, they've worked literally every other time.

Yeah. Okay, let's say you went and you saw the Harlem Globetrotters. Yeah. Is it them versus the Washington Gener is that is that their opposing team i don't know because i know when they came to australia i think they just played i just played mbl teams yeah they just made some mbl teams yeah so but okay so but so historically i think the globetrotters have all like they always win by a massive margin except every once in a while there's an upset.

Okay. And the generals win by some happenstance, and it's a real, which would you prefer? Would you, because why would you go to see, I don't know. You go for the tricks,

I guess, but just show me the tricks. If they were just like, we're going to do 15 tricks, and these are the tricks we're going to do. Yeah. Okay. I don't need a narrative.

But I would rather have them, I would rather there be the Harlem Globetrotters and another team that are equally matched. Like, what's the fun of... That's a really good point. Yeah. Absolutely. Look, I mean, they've been going for 60 years or something.

Are they still going? Yeah, I think so. Presumably. Yeah. But yeah, exactly. Just show me 15 minutes of tricks. Yeah. Look, I, to my eternal shame,

this weekend I watched some amount of the movie Transformers Age of Extinction. Not all of it. I don't know, it was just on Netflix. Anyway, but here's the thing. If you watch just little snippets of that, it's quite interesting. It looks like something. It looks good. Like, that's the movie with Gunface, the villain with the gun in his face.

I remember Gunface, yeah. And when you actually, if you watch it, like, if you just, like, skip to that scene and watch the gun come out of his face, you're like, oh, that looks good. Yeah. That looks good in HD. That's how they get us in trailers. Yes, that's exactly right. But, like, I would just watch, like, a 20-minute effects reel of just the Transformer rolls up, transforms into a robot, transforms back into a car, drives off again, next one rolls up. I'm sure I've watched YouTube videos of that.

Also, make it slower. Slow it down. I want to see that detail. Yeah, right. I want to see that detail. Okay, fair enough. Yeah. I want to see the Harlem Globetrotters drag that trampoline out.

Just real slow. Just eee. Just cut into the corner. Eee. And I want to see the look in the janitor's eyes as he realizes he's going to have to wax that all back. Just like, oh. I'm going to get some of those replaced

come on come on they were good in Futurama they come from a planet in Futurama oh I see right yeah

what were we talking about I've forgotten Wonder Woman oh yeah that's right anyway good on it it was a tangent okay yeah next thing though

when you should be back people like Robin Wright yeah exactly yeah enough for bloody House of Cards to continue with her that's true Anyway, good on her. It was a tangent. Okay, yeah. Next thing though. When you should be back. People like Robin Wright. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Enough for bloody House of Cards to continue with her. That's true. So there you go. Doom Patrol. There were some set photos, some on-set photos.

We got some, the robot man. The robot man. Other things like that. Now, we were having this discussion just before the show. The only one that really matters to us is the robot man. Yes, which is apparently Brendan Fraser. Yeah. But he's not in the suit, right?

He doesn't need to be. That's true. We didn't see him. Well, I guess that's the thing. Like, we didn't see him out of the suit smoking a cigarette around the corner or anything like that with the helmet off. Will Arnett wasn't in the car for the Knight Rider reboot. No, he was.

He was. He was. They made him do the voice, and he and he had like a flashlight under the bonnet and he sweeps across the red. Where's the engine? It was just powered by Will Arnett. It's powered by Will Arnett, yeah. Wow.

Yeah. You've got to work hard in Hollywood, man. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I understand that, sure. Was that the new one with the cool guy? Because there's been a few reboots. Yes, there was. Wasn't Val Kilmer at once?

Yeah, Will Arnett actually was not the voice of Knight Rider. He was the voice of Knight Rider in the initial trailer. Right. And people were like, this is really exciting. But I think he had some sort of, he was doing ads for another company, like a car company at the time, like Ford or something. I don't know, Toyota or something like thatota or something like that like pop the bonnet get him out that's right and they were like you can't you can't be the voice of this particular

model car maybe i think maybe it's a mustang in the in the show yeah and so toyota or somebody were like you can't be the the voice of a ford and also be doing ads for us yeah so you have so you can't do it and so it's val kilmer is the voice, I think, in the TV show. It's a good show. It's not, though, is it? It's bad. It's really bad. It's bad. I remember it being bad. From memory. Yeah, yeah. But, no, Doom Patrol looks...

I like the costumes, though. Me too. It looks pretty good. I didn't really check to see what the internet's reaction to the costumes is, but honestly, that's because I don't care what the internet's reaction to the costumes is. They look better. The reaction seems more positive than, say, the Titans costumes,

as an example. There are some good Titans costumes. Yeah, I think so. I think the Robin costume is good. Yeah, I just think that trailer is... Not good. Something. Certainly something.

It's really interesting. Yeah, I don't think... I think Brendan Fraser's... He's famous enough where he wouldn't have to be on set to do that. Yeah, right. So he'd just do the voice. Just do the voice, okay.

I'd imagine. I don't know that for a fact but do you think if it was like I want to be there maybe he does want to be there yeah too busy wearing a cowboy hat

in another show though isn't he or something yeah he's in Condor yeah did you finish that I didn't finish it but it is good okay good

but it's one of those shows where it's a lot to take in I feel yeah right like it's quite intense a lot of people are getting murdered there's a lot of espionage there's a lot of intrigue

sounds like a real Jack Ryan situation, Mason. Did you watch any of Jack Ryan? No, I didn't watch Jack Ryan. It's okay. Yeah. I know you put an Instagram about it. Yes.

Yeah, very good. My finest work. But you didn't watch it? No. You're just casting judgment. Yeah, that's right. Through the gram. Avengers 4 is reportedly...

Well, first of all, it's getting some reshoots because apparently they're going to do more Wakanda stuff. Okay. Which makes sense to me because that was an insanely popular film that they didn't seem prepared for because otherwise they wouldn't have turned him to dust at the end of the last one. So yeah. What do you think about that? More Wakanda stuff.

Who's left? In Wakanda? Yeah. Shuri? Shuri's still alive. M'Baku, I think is stillanda. Yeah. Shuri? Shuri's still alive. M'Baku, I think is still alive. Yep. Okoye is still alive, I think.

Yes. Yeah, because she sees him disappear. Yes. There's still some good people there. Yeah, that's true. Probably Martin Freeman's still alive. Yeah, but he wasn't there. He wasn't doing his job.

We're like, what did I miss? Yeah, exactly. I was getting a smoothie. Yeah, I think this is probably a good idea, seeing as Black Panther made a billion dollars, because you wouldn't go back and go, let's do more Ant-Man and the Wasp things. That's true.

But also, I feel like if there's one place in that universe where they're going to be like, hey, let's use technology to find out what happened exactly. Yeah. Wakanda is the location. Absolutely. Especially because Steve Rogers is, not Steve Rogers,

Iron Man's somewhere else on the other side of the universe trapped or whatever. So yeah, no, that's fair enough. I'm excited for this. I think I am. It's Avengers four.

So I am very excited. Wow. That'd be a revelation. If you were like, I don't know if I'm, I mean, it's only been 10 years and 20 movies. I'm not feeling it anymore.

Yeah. Yeah. But, we must be getting a Captain Marvel trailer soon because that's out in March. That's got to be next month or so. We're going to be expecting something. It's exciting.

Fingers crossed. Do you think we'll get a full trailer or do you think we'll get a teaser trailer? I think we'll get a decent trailer. Okay. Yeah. Do you think it'll be very 90s? I hope so.

Yeah. Do you think they'll do a 90s Marvel logo? Do you think they'll have Rob Liefeld doing a Levi's ad in it? Like we talked about last week. People will really enjoy the Image Comics episode. It'll just be Captain Marvel diving in a fountain, putting up umbrellas up in the air. And if for some reason it's also setting them out about the universe

or whatever, it's all connected. Speaking of Marvel though, Wesley Snipes. So take this whichever way you, you know, however you regard that man's stability. He says he's developing two Blade projects for Marvel, which I guess could indicate that he's coming back as Blade, which does that mean that the old ones are in the continuity? I don't know.

I feel like they wouldn't roll the dice on Wesley Snipes because he's notoriously- Yeah, you'd always bet on Black. It's a different thing. It's a completely different thing. But, okay, he has been to jail for, I mean, it's tax evasion. It's not murdering. So it's not that big a deal, I guess. But for the Blade films, Blade Trinity, he was really difficult to work with and he's not in most of those scenes.

Yep. So I feel like they'd... I guess I thought they'd recast it. Well, maybe it's like... Maybe it's Blade Babies or something like that. Babies? Yes, exactly. Maybe he's the mentor and there's a new team or something like that.

That seems like something that he would think of. Yes. And that is in the... Like, that seems like something that he would think of. Yes. And that is in the... Like, that's kind of... What are you doing over there? I dropped my wedding ring, Mason. Oh, wow. Sorry, keep going.

I was going to say, that's kind of in the wheelhouse. Like, if you think of Blade III, that was like, here's a new team. Oh, yeah, there's Abigail and Ryan Reynolds. There's Abigail, exactly. That's right. But you wouldn't make those movies canon, I guess, because then you've got to fold in the MCU

into 90s vampire Stephen Dorff situations. I guess that's true. You could go, because in the Marvel Universe for a long time, there weren't any vampires. Yeah. There was a magical situation. There were vampires. Was that because there was the Comics Code thing?

You couldn't say vampire or something? Yes, there was, yeah. Yeah, yeah. And so the premise was that Comics Code thing, you couldn't say vampire or something? Yes, there was, yeah. And so the premise was that in the past, some Doctor Strange or somebody had opened a magical book and said some words and then it had eliminated all vampires and then somebody found that book and they did some different magical words

and then all the vampires came back. He genocided vampires. He genocided vampires. I don't think it was dr strange maybe it was yeah but anyway so there was this big gap where there were no vampires until they were like we should this is done we should just reintroduce them yeah and so maybe you could be like hey there were vampires in this universe like pre iron man yeah we got rid of them now they're back now there's so many vampires have we seen any vampires in the current MCU I don't think we have

no I don't believe so I mean there's already a lot going on isn't there that's true yeah do you need vampires yes I mean you do obviously

there's room enough for it I mean there's people on the moon apparently whoa so you can have vampires yeah if you can if we can buy this

very weird premise that people have gone to the moon I know this very unlikely premise did people have gone to the moon. I know. This very unlikely premise. Did you see the controversy about the moon landing movie? No, what's happened this time?

The Gosling one? Oh, he said we don't see any last-minute plan to flag, right? On the moon, so, yeah. Why do people care about flags so much? I don't know. I couldn't even draw our flag. No, I couldn't. Could you, though?

I couldn't draw an exact Union Jack, which is in the corner. I have a rough idea of what it looks like, but I couldn't get all the individual colours and lines right. How many points do each of the stars have? That was something we had to learn in class one time, I recall. You might have to learn it for the test. Oh, the citizenship test, maybe.

There's a bunch of shit on that test that I don't know. I wouldn't know any of those things, yeah. And you have to know about Australian rules football. Yes, something like that. Who cares? Yeah. Like one of the stars has seven points. I think the rest have five or something.

Yeah, right, yeah. Anyway. Absolutely. What were we talking about? Neil Armstrong. He did make it to the moon in the end. Yep. Do you think that...

What's the tension in that movie, though? They're like, did he make it? Was he going to get to the moon? I mean that what's the tension in that movie though they're like did he make it was he gonna get to the moon i mean what's any story i go because you know because most stories turn out well it's how you tell it isn't it yeah what if there's a turn though what if at the end you think he's gonna but see i would watch see i don't i've got zero interest in this movie because again i know how it turns out i like ryan Gosling, but I don't care. But I would imagine if this movie takes a turn and at the end, Neil Armstrong is killed by aliens and they replace him.

And that guy comes back to Earth. Alien Neil Armstrong comes back to Earth. I'm sure there's a movie with Johnny Depp that is that. Is it? With Charlize Theron. Astronaut's Wife? Something like that, yeah. Right.

But for reals. But for real. You want it real I want it to be the end he plants the flag because you've got to do that and then it zooms out and it's just Stanley Kubrick

filming the moon landing so I'm back a lot see that would work as well somebody pointed out this week on Twitter how can you there's no way Stanley Kubrick would have directed that

because why would he have let that one take go through where Neil Armstrong flubs the line where he goes it's one small step for man

he would have said do it again it's one small step for our man yeah I think it's better as is yeah well you're no Stanley Kubrick are you

no or Neil Armstrong neither of those two you're barely a Buzz Ald, are you? No. Or Neil Armstrong. Neither of those two. You're barely a Buzz Aldrin, all right? I'll take that. You've seen much that dude in the face. You're barely the third guy that went on the moon, whatever his name is.

Collins? Collins. Yeah. Yeah. Eddie Vedder. Yeah, it was Eddie Vedder. I thought it was Eddie Vedder. Yeah.

Yeah. Have you seen the video of Buzz Aldrin punching a moon landing in the face? No, I don't think I have. I'm aware of it, though. It's pretty funny. The guy's like, you're a liar and you're a fake or whatever, and he just punches him in the face.

Buzz Aldrin's an elite athlete. Yeah, that's true. Like, he's old, but, you know, you have to be fit to be an astronaut. I think it's Michael Collins. I'm looking it up. I think it's Eddie Vedder. It's Charles Conrad. So we were both right.

We were both right in a way, yeah. NASA, third man to walk on moon dies in motorcycle accident. That's pretty rad. I mean, on the moon especially. Yeah. You're getting some sweet, because, you know, the gravity's lesser on the end. Maybe that's how he died. He got too much gravity.

He just floated off into space. Yeah. You know what he was doing. He was popping monos in the craters. Exactly there. Maybe that's how he died. He got too much gravity. He just floated off into space. Yeah. You know what he was doing. He was popping monos in the craters. Exactly. And he took one too fast. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's like, man, check this out.

Can you believe they took a car to the moon? That's crazy. Pretty crazy. Or did they, you know? Yeah, you know. You know, yeah. Yeah. Anyway, you know what?

Despite Wesley Snipes being crazy potentially or whatever. Oh, yeah. There's a lot of tangents today. But putting him in the MCU because he's so serious. Yeah, I guess that's true. I think it could be kind of interesting. I don't think they'll do it. And then if you bring in Blade, not Blade, he is Blade, like Deadpool,

and then you've got that Ryan Reynolds, Wesley Snipes. Yeah, situation again. Because the character from, Ryan Reynolds' character from Blade is pretty much Deadpool. Deadpool again. It's just Deadpool, yeah. There we go. So Mason, we were lucky enough just before the show

to listen to an Eminem rap song for the movie Venom. He came in. Yep. He delivered a hot track. There was a lot of his crew here. We had to get them all drinks. Yep. Which is fair enough. Yeah. They're all thirsty. A lot of daiquiris. a lot of his crew here. We had to get them all drinks. Yep. Which is fair enough.

Yeah. They're all thirsty. A lot of daiquiris. A lot of daiquiris, yeah. But it's an Eminem song. It's fine. You didn't get to the bit where he... Because I'm like, what is this about?

Because he mentions like Dr. Drain and whatever. Yeah. I'm not even sure I listened to the right thing. And then he's like, Venom! Was there a Tupac verse at the start? I don't know. Cause that's what I heard. I was listening to something else.

It might've been, but I know I was cause in the middle he went Venom. And then he did, he talked about Venom. So I didn't get that far. Yeah. I was saying earlier, I think we should go back to some crooning.

I think that, I think the Venom soundtrack should be, you want a Bobby Darin-esque. I want a Michael Buble being like venom well he did the spider-man thing he did do one yeah for something did you do that for a movie or did he just do it for his own i think it's on like it's one of the raimi spider-man movies i think yeah right maybe two or three probably three hey venom anyway good on it it's going to be a great movie isn't it apparently tom hardy signed on for three, so raise yourself for that, I guess.

So Alec Baldwin was going to be Thomas Wayne in the Joker movie. Oh, for a second there. He was locked in. And then everybody was talking about it. It's filming in four minutes. Yeah, and he was like, you know what? I'm not doing that movie anymore. I don't know whether he was, like he saw people talking about it

and went, I don't want to deal with this, or he'd already not decided or decided not to do it but he was going to be a trump-esque uh character like a 80s businessman which you know which is okay you know like he does for saturday night live does trump i can understand the thinking behind it i what is this movie i don't know don't know but i'm sort of excited to see it now. Yeah, absolutely. I'm very interested. So, you know, it would have been good.

Apparently, I saw the name Viggo Mortensen. Apparently, you saw the name Viggo Mortensen? I saw that. Apparently, I did. Allegedly. Apparently, you did. Yeah, Allegedly. It's all Allegedly.

But I think he'd be a good Thomas Wayne as well. But he's gone. So, I don't know. Who do you get? You know who you get? You get Mr. Big from Sex and the City. Oh, Chris Noth. Yeah, get him.

Okay. Yeah. I was going to say, you can't get Negan anymore. No, because he's in a different universe. They've burned him already on a universe where they're never going to do that. Or are they? Maybe he appears in the Flash movie. He said they haven't.

Yeah. Okay. Well, he said he hasn't been contacted about anything. So, you know, who knows? I'm excited for... Does he have the record for most number of different comic book characters he's portrayed? What's his name again? I've also forgotten.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Jeffrey Dean Morgan. It might be Chris Evans. No. He's done quite a few. He's done... He's done heaps. He's done Snow...

Okay, let's break it down. Snowpiercer. Snowpiercer, Captain America, Human Torch. Yep, he did Casey Jones. Did he? Yeah, he was in an animated version. He did The Voice. I don't think that counts.

It counts, Mason. It doesn't count. It does count. Live action only. Live action only. Oh, you're twisting the rules. Scott Pilgrim. So that's four.

Yep. What else? Losers. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, five. Okay. Which is a Jeffrey Dean Morgan one as well. Okay.

So Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Losers. Yep. Watchmen. He is a Jeffrey Dean Morgan one as well. So Jeffrey Dean Morgan loses. Yep, Watchmen. He's a comedian, Watchmen. Thomas Wayne. Negan. Well, it's not a movie, so it doesn't count. No, we're changing the rules. It's just during the game, Mason.

Same rules. This is bullshit. That's correct. Well, that's four. I reckon he's five. There's probably more. Yeah, yeah. There's probably other people. There's probably. Well, that's four. That's four. I reckon he's five. There's probably more. Yeah, yeah. There's probably other people.

There's probably someone else who's done 80. Yeah, for sure. Ryan Reynolds has done a few. That's true. Josh Brolin's done a few because he did Jonah Hex. Yep. He's done Thanos. He's done Cable.

I guess it's a certain skill set. It's like- Is it? Are you willing to put on this stupid costume and pretend there's aliens coming at you on this green screen? Yeah. Yep. All right. Then you on this green screen? Yeah. Yep, all right. Then you're in.

Oh, Mason, I'm excited because we didn't have any Star Wars news last week. Great. But now we get to have Star Wars news every week for the rest of time. I gave you that one week off. You did give me the one week off, it's fair. So that's fine. All right, I'm fine. Rules are rules.

Rules are rules. Matt Smith has been cast in Star Wars Episode 9 in a role that he'll play in Star Wars young Skynet young oh yeah

he was young Skynet what did you think of him as young Skynet it doesn't matter what do you mean by that it matters how so well it matters in

whatever Terminator continuity that's in that's true yeah so I kind of wanted to say see I kind of wanted to see young Skynet How so? Well, it matters in whatever Terminator continuity that's in. That's true. Yeah, so... I kind of wanted to say... See, I kind of wanted to see young Skynet teaming up with old Skynet. But it's a bad film and do you really... Don't you want the real sequel or whatever they're doing in the moment?

Unless it's bad and they've off-bin it or whatever? I want them all. I want every continuity. I want two Terminator movies a year. One in the Terminator Genisys continuity Yes And one in rebooted 80s continuity And a third one

Where they're in a family band And driving around In a VW bus With Arnold? Yes Does he sing? Yes Good

He'd be a good singer wouldn't he? Yes Country roads take me home Yeah take him home Yeah yeah But Matt Smith is Yeah good He's good singer, wouldn't he? Yes. Country roads take me home. Yeah, take him home. Yeah, yeah. But Matt Smith is, yeah, good. He's good in things, isn't he? I agree, yeah.

What else has he done? Doctor Who. Oh, obviously. Yeah, I know that one. I don't know. He's in The Queen. Probably something medieval. Yeah, probably something.

He's in The Queen. He's Prince Philip. He's young Prince Philip. Yeah, so he's around. Good on him. I like his Doctor Who as well. Any thoughts on who he might be in Star Wars Episode IX? A Knight of Ren.

A Stormtrooper. An Imperial guy. Luke Skywalker. I think they've already... No, they cast that. They cast that in 1976 for the first one. But he could be Luke Skywalker then. No, no, because they cast it already.

They cast Mark Hamill for the 1977... They cast him before 1977 when the movie came out because they filmed it the year prior. So they've already done that. And he's dead in the universe. So they could cast him again. Yeah, okay, fine. Nice, good, good, good.

Final bit of news, Mason. There's a final Red Band trailer for The Predator. Yep, reveals way too much in my opinion. Yes, but it is a good trailer. Yeah, I think so too. Yeah. I think they were like, we don't, where is this? I think they were, where is this bit with the kid going?

Yeah. Where is this subplot with the kid? Is he controlling the spaceship? What's going on there? And I think they were like, let's not, let's just make it about crazy people. Yeah. Who are firing machine guns. Yeah.

Which is good enough for me. Yep. It feels definitely very Shane Blackie. Yeah, which is good enough for me. Yep. It feels definitely very Shane Black-y. Yeah, it does. Yeah, yeah. Do you think that could work to the film's detriment, though? In what sense? Well, the first Predator isn't a Shane Black film.

He's in it. He did some of the writing. Right. But it's, we're about to talk about it, but it's very serious for a lot of it. Yeah. So, yeah. I don't know, because I think, as we'll discuss, the Predator series has not been the most serious. No, I mean, it takes itself very earnestly,

but it's not meta. It's not like, well, we call this the Predator. Yeah, that's true. Because you know how Iron Man 3 doesn't feel like it's an MCU film in a lot of ways? I think maybe this is a movie for the fandom, the Predator. So maybe... Because again, the Predator is never called the Predator a lot of ways i think maybe this is a movie for the fandom the predator so so maybe because again the predator is never called the predator in any of the other movies is he is is he they say they

say it in predators they say it in predator too they don't say specifically we call them this but they've never said we named them this specific thing. Everyone went, yeah. Yeah. Hey, we're all going to die, but we named that guy the Predator. Yeah. Bad blokes, a lot of them, the Predators though, aren't they?

There's not a good one amongst them. Oh, maybe there's a good one in Alien vs. Predator or something. They team up. But we're not talking about that today, are we? No, no, we didn't get to them fx is the veil explores the surprising and fraught relationship between two women who play a deadly game of truth and lies on the road from istanbul to paris and london one woman has a secret the other a mission to reveal it before

Get ship done. Now, Mason, Harry's Razors, it appears their ad copy is learning. I'll tell you why. Because it feels like somebody has made this specifically for us. I think somebody actually has. I mean, does it say, hey, you two idiots on a podcast? Because that could be anybody. It says question to James and Nick.

Oh, all right. So there you go. All right. So, you know, let's see how this goes. Which superhero or villain is in the most need of a shave? Wolverine's got a very hairy back, doesn't he? Yeah, but does it grow back immediately because of these regeneration properties? That's a good point.

Because when he gets his hair scorched off. Just grows right back. Just grows right back. Yeah. Yeah. I was going to say Chris Reeves Superman when he's drunk in Superman 3. Yeah's a good point. Because when he gets his hair scorched off. Just grows right back. Just grows right back. Yeah. Yeah. I was going to say, Chris Reeves Superman when he's drunk in Superman 3. Yeah, that's true. He's got the five o'clock shadow.

I mean, there are a lot of smooth boys in the Marvel universe. I'm sure they could do with an all over shave. Yeah. What about Chris Evans' Captain America beard? Yeah. I mean, it looks like it's a rugged beard, but he's trimming that. Yeah, absolutely. You've got to keep it neat.

You've got to keep it neat. Imagine if it was all just frizzing out over the sides and just all messy and sticking out like a crazy man. People wouldn't be finding him dreamy anymore, would they? They'd call him crapped in America. They would. Yeah. Here's the thing though, Mason.

Yes? If you think that Harry's razors might be right for you, you can claim a free trial offer at harrys.com slash weekly planet because Harry's delivers a close, comfortable shave at a fair price. And we know this because the founders, they were fed up with playing for overpriced razors with unnecessary features, you know, with like lasers and extra blades and weird handles that, you know, got like vibrating.

Yeah, that's what I was going to say. That's not good. That's dangerous. If anything, the last thing I want to do when I'm putting a sharp blade next to my face is to have the casing vibrate. Ridiculous. But they know that a great shave comes down to the blades,

which are made with sharp, durable steel that lasts. And the reason they're able to do this is because they bought a factory that's been making some of the highest quality blades in the world for over 95 years, and they sell directly to you over the internet, which means their blades, instead of being like $4 per blade at a uh like at the store they're only two and quality is guaranteed if you don't love their shave i'll let the harrys know within 30 days and they'll give you a refund a refund yeah it's important it's important to have that security there so here's how it works for the trial offer you get 13 worth of value that comes with everything you need for a close

comfortable shave a weighted ergonomic handle. Non-vibrating. Non-vibrating. Five blade razor with a lubricating strip. Also doesn't vibrate. Doesn't vibrate. Foaming shave gel with an aloe and cucumber extract to keep your skin hydrated. Might vibrate depending on how vigorously you apply it.

That's true, but that's really down to you. That's down to you, isn't it? Also, they've said keep your skin hydrated like Aquaman. They've put that in there. Oh, yeah. And Travel Blade cover to keep the razor dry like Sandman.

Did you add that? I didn't add that. I did not add this. Which Sandman? Thomas Hayden Church. Okay, so not the weird spooky dream one. Oh, yeah.

Not the Neil Gaiman character. I think they mean the Spider-Man villain. Sure, yeah. Fair enough. Okay, good. Listeners of the show, our show, can redeem their trial set at harrys.com slash weeklyplanet.

Make sure you go to harrys.com slash weeklyplanet to redeem your offer and let them know that I, this is what it says, Mason, sent you to help support the show. Out my show. Oh, man. Very good. Yeah, but look, if you shave, it's um it's just it's good and it's

just good business it's just it is i do want to talk about the predator films yeah i'm excited to talk about these i watched well we we talked about this last week but we went away and we watched the predator the original predator i didn't but i remember you already said i watched predator 2 predator 2 from 1991 or something. 1990, yeah. But it's also set in 1997. Oh, yes. We'll get to that.

And then Predators. Look, I'll be honest. We've talked about Predator, I feel, ad nauseum. Yeah. So I would still like to... This is the Predator episode, so I would like to talk about it. But man, I would really like to get into Predator 2. Okay, cool.

Because I haven't seen that since like 1993 probably or something like that. It's a very mixed bag, that movie. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. All right, let's do them in order though. Okay, let me ask you this question up top. Do you think they should have showed the spaceship at the start of Predator? No.

Yeah, I agree. I think I've watched this movie with somebody once and I skipped that. Yeah. So I got to that point where it's just an alien and it's just, wait, what? What is this? Because it's just an alien and it's just wait what what is this because it's commando it's this super macho commando-esque like kind of dopey movie uh-huh and then it's just it's a man fighting an alien it's one of those movies i think it's probably one of those movies where the trailer spoiled way too much of it and if you went in not knowing what it was going to be yeah it would bloody knock your socks off.

I wish you had watched the original Predator, at least for the opening bit where they all get off the helicopter at the start in their plain clothes, 80s fashion. I think you would have had a lot to say about that. There's a lot going on there. But you remember, obviously, the handshake from the start. It's so macho.

What is that? Because it's so macho it's so what is that because it's not an arm wrestle because you haven't got your arm on the table uh-huh it's i'm not sure what it's supposed to be we don't know any of this because we're not real men yeah sure but i've never seen anyone do that outside of that movie is it maybe and it's never been in any other movies either i'm sure it's been in other movies uh-huh you know as a as a as an ironic wink and a nod or whatever but it's just a very it's a very strong i know people always reference it but it's a very strange moment right i don't know i don't i don't know it's it's weird what else when did you first see this uh were you a kid we know those kids who saw it when you were like too young yeah yeah for sure i saw all of these when i was too young yeah yeah it would have been when it

come out 87 okay well i would have seen it when i was on tv so probably like for us 1998 when i was coming to finally get to say i reckon i probably would have seen it like 1990 yeah okay right so too young yeah okay yeah also what i realized from re-watching one and two a lot of the the weapons that are known the predator is known for are introduced into he doesn't have a lot of stuff in the first one that's true yeah he's got he's got your your shoulder cannon uh-huh and he's got the claw uh-huh a bunch of other stuff i got a video on it coming out soon but yeah a lot of the law is is actually in follow-up movies. I mean, the first one is more an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie.

Yeah, sure. Where he just happens to be fighting this monster man. Yeah, yeah. And the second one is like... Secrets, we got them. It's on the subtitle. Yeah, Secrets, we got them. We're on to Secrets. There's two Shane Black jokes where he's trying to make the crazy guy laugh

by talking about how Biggie's girlfriend's vagina is. Uh-huh, yeah. It's very weird. I don't know what, if it's supposed to be ironic or whatever, because I think a lot of people in this movie play it straight, but I don't know if it was intentionally made to be tongue-in-cheek or not or it's just all kind of an accident. There's enough Shane Black dialogue in this

where it feels like it's a bit of a wink and a nod. I don't think it is, though. I don't think we'd reach that level of irony. Well, that's what I'm thinking. That's why I think it might be an accident. I don't think at that point we were like, okay, now it's time to be like, hey, Arnold Schwarzenegger, he's too macho. Yeah.

Isn't it silly how macho he is? I think people were going to this being like, yeah, Arnold Schwarzenegger's so macho and I love it. But then there's bits where like, you know, the guy says the line, he's like, oh, you're bleeding. He's like, I ain't got time to bleed. Yeah, yeah. And then afterwards, the guy who says that to him throws a hand grenade and he's like,

do you have time to duck? Or something like that. Which is a good kind of grenade and he's like, do you have time to duck or something like that? Which is a good kind of follow up line like, you're an idiot. You know, so there's moments like that, which kind of undercut the macho-ness of it. And I feel like they just went, let's put five Shane Black lines in this movie. Because the only reason he's in that movie, because he was doing like rewrites and touch-ups on location. So that's why he was cast in that movie. Because he's not really an actor. No.

He's not in... Has he been in anything else? I'm sure he probably has, but he's the first guy to be killed by a predator though, which is... Oh yeah. And he wears glasses in the jungle. Do you buy these guys as like a super tough crack commando unit? I think maybe physically, but not mentally. They don't seem to have the metal to be like,

like they're prone to freaking out, aren't they? And I mean, at the same time, I'm like, well, you've never faced anything like this before. But I mean, surely they've faced people shooting at them before. Yeah. Just because it's lasers now. Yeah. But that would throw you a little bit.

A little bit. What do you think of that invisible effect though? You know, if you've got an invisible alien shooting at yeah but that would throw you a little bit a little bit what do you think of that invisible effect though you know if you've got an invisible alien shooting that would throw you what do you think of that effect I think it's better

in the first one than it is in the second one I don't think it is I think you should have re-watched it I think there's moments in it where it's like oof

like there are some really good moments there's a bit where he grabs a guy by the foot and drags him through like the brush which looks quite good but then there's other bits where you see him in the eyes flash yellow and it's oh yes yeah there's moments like that mixed bag yeah i think the first two are definitely

i don't the both the one and two it's a massively mixed bag as to whether that cloaking effect is looking good or not yeah well you know because what the story was with the original predator design because they filmed like the first two thirds of it without the suit because they were waiting on it right and then it finally got there and if you've seen footage of it it's a weird bug with a long head and van damme was in it yeah right uh-huh and it just looks terrible it's a terrible i was watching behind the scenes on it. There's like a mini documentary about it on YouTube. And so the director... It's the guy who did Die Hard.

Same director. John McTiernan? John McTiernan. Is it him? Don't know. Yeah. Yeah, it is John McTiernan. Yes.

Well done, mate. Good job. Thank you. You've done it again. So they shot a little bit of it, of this footage, because they use a red, fully red suit in the jungle to key it out. Right, because everything's green in the jungle. You can't use green, obviously, or blue.

So does that mean you can key out, can you use any color? Yeah, you can pick a color and key it out. As long as it's a contrasting color, then it'll work reasonably well. So they set that footage off to the studio and like, do you want us to keep doing this? And they're like, oh, no, definitely not. So they shut it down yep they gave it to stan winston and he did the design and james cameron came up with the the mantibles

yeah right he's just said it in passing he's like i'd like to see mantibles or whatever but that final design is fucking awesome it's really good it's still really good that's true yeah yeah and there's a few moments where you see like his hands up close and it's like it's clearly a guy struggling with big rubber gloves or whatever. Why didn't they get Stan Winston to start with? Who else were they using? I can't, they didn't mention who. Yeah, good.

For shame. For shame. But they met, I think they said something like they weren't experienced with it or whatever. And everyone was really anticipating. They're like, oh, the suit's coming. It's really exciting. It's going to be great. But it's garbage.

It's no good. Isn't that amazing? Do you think they just, because I would have assumed that they would have received some designs for it. They must have. Yeah. Or they're just like, listen, I don't have any pictures for you, but it's going to be sweet. So just wait.

Just trust me. Just send me the money and I will send you the suit. I won't be there. I'll just send it to you. It's more kind of bug-like and it's got a longer neck with a stalk with a little head on the end. It's kind of praying mantis-y. It's more of a regular-sized man with a long neck.

Yeah, and so I think the design to make it more humanoid, first of all, it's easier to film fight scenes if you've got a guy who doesn't have to stand on weird little boots and whatever. That's true, yeah. You know, he's mostly just... Because you can film it from the ground up. Yeah, exactly. You don't have to be like, we'll cut out his st. It's true, yeah. You know, he's mostly just... Because you can film it from the ground up. Yeah, exactly. You don't have to be like,

we'll cut out his stilt feet. Yeah, yeah. And you can obviously, you can tussle easier and whatever. What's that guy's name? Kevin Peter Hall? Yeah. And he's like seven foot four.

Nice. Which, I mean, that's a great choice because Van Damme is like, what, five, nine, maybe? Yeah, right. And that's not as in Tim. I mean, sure, he's got the big bug head on top. That would change the whole dynamic, I feel, of the movie because it's the enormous arnold schwarzenegger versus

and even a little predator yeah that's right that's no fun is it no exactly because then i may i guess maybe that is the if you go if you think about the design of the predator and like the weapon loadout and stuff like that if you go okay well he's invisible and he's got the shoulder cannon and he's got the blades and whatever you could go okay well he's that's that's a that's a man compensating for being little yeah right or it's like okay well he's smaller than arnold but he's got these advantage he's got these weapon advantages yeah so i from a design standpoint i'm like of course that's why all that sort of stuff but to also make him enormous yeah i like that that's why it feels like they've always got an unfair advantage.

Exactly. Because they're also enormous. These entire things, yeah, all of them, you know, have twice the strength of a man, can leap from building to building and have these insane weapons. It's amazing that any of them ever lose. It shouldn't happen. I don't think they're that good a hunter as people say they are.

No, but I think they're the equivalent of like a big game hunter that goes and shoots an elephant. Yeah, and then one day gets trampled. Yes. But it's like, why do you think that's an achievement? Yeah. The elephant was just standing there and you shot it. Yeah.

You have all the technology and all the time and you did it from a helicopter. And somebody took you there. Somebody took you there, exactly. Yeah. What's the point? You just pulled the trigger on an elf. That's the equivalent of the Predator. It's just like, yeah, you killed those guys,

but one, they weren't expecting you. They didn't even know you. They have no comprehension of you existing. And you were invisible. And you can shoot lasers. And you've got indestructible blades. And you twice, come on. Yeah, it's crazy.

They should be fighting like, it should be one predator versus like a thousand guys. Yeah, which I guess is what they sort of do in the alien one. Yeah, right. But you shouldn't lose to an alien either. No. Yeah, I don't get it. I mean, I guess you go up against a crack commando unit.

Yep. That's more of a challenge. But Arnold kind of accidentally stumbles across its weakness and then flubs his way through it. Like he barely makes it. Like he's got skills, obviously, but yeah. I also think what's interesting about him compared to the Adrian Brody character in Predators is Arnold is too big to be this kind of soldier.

Like a guy who's supposed to be able to trek that long and whatever if you're that size you're not your heart would your heart would stop yeah yeah i mean obviously there i'm sure there are exceptions to this obviously they are but a lot of these guys they're not they're not built like that they're like they're like leathery and small yeah you know yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? Sinewy. So I didn't re-watch the first one. So I feel we should talk about it. How sporting do you feel the Predator is in the first Predator?

Because we've talked about it. I mean, we just mentioned it then. They're like the big game hunter with the laser and whatever. Some Predator storylines, like some comic books, some movies, et movies etc it seems like they'll balance out their they'll balance out their weapons with who they're fighting yeah absolutely so in like uh you know the batman versus predator comic book we've read yeah he seems like he won't fight unarmed people yeah and he won't you know if it's a you know if it's some dude with a knife you'll probably leave him alone or whatever.

Yeah, or he'll take his gear off and fight him with a knife. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, exactly. But it seems like, especially in the... How do you feel about the first one? Is he sporting or is he not sporting? Well, I think he only does the fights that he deems worthy. Like anybody who is like, this guy's a minor challenge,

he'll just pick him off quickly. But anybody who he thinks would be more interesting, he'll go down to their level. Like Billy on the Fallen Tree. Yes, right. Like you don't see it, but he would fight him hand to hand. Same with Arnold. He fights him hand to hand.

But anyone else, he's just like, I'll just shoot him with my laser cannon. Yeah, right. And just whittle these guys down. But I think in Predators, they're way more unfair. And Predators too. Because he doesn't... Yeah, like I said, his kit isn't...

He hasn't got that big of a loadout in the first one. And he's not that armoured at all. Yeah, right. So he's mostly exposed. Yeah, so... A little too much, if you know what I'm bloody saying, Mason. Do you know what I'm saying? No.

Yeah, yeah, it's good. What? Okay. And also, at the end of the first predator he does lose then he decides to he destroys the equivalent of 300 city blocks yes which means i've got a video upcoming talking about this but basically that means arnold ran like 30 kilometers incredible 10 seconds unless it's directed like maybe i don't think no it isn't definitely i'm giving arnold no credit here okay maybe he can he can run 30 kilometers. That's a weird thing to say in the sequel.

He could have just said, if they'd have said three city blocks. Yep. 300 is so many. So many. But it's not nuclear. No. I mean, maybe he was under a really hardy redwood or whatever. Yeah, right.

But you know what? That's why this movie looks so good, though, because they went into the actual jungle. A lot of it they had to cut back because they could actually film and see the actors in there. And they went in the dry season, but they wanted to make it look like rainforest. But you can't... Well, it is rainforest, but during the wet season.

But you can't film in the wet because it's just mud. It's mud up to your knees. So they went into a valley and shot in the valley where it's cool and they hose down the trees and all this kind of stuff. And it feels like a real jungle. And they talk about how also, well, it is. That's why.

But a lot of the time they're just filming on the side of a hill. So they're just all standing on an angle the entire day. So it was a pretty brutal shoot because they were all macho men. And they also talk about in this documentary how they'd secretly work out and they'd pretend that they weren't working out. That's great. There was a lot of, well,

I was going to, I was going to say that probably a lot of them were really upset that one of their legs was getting more of a workout than the other leg. Like, man, one of my legs is slightly further downhill than the other leg. It's, I don't like this.

One of my lats is going to be too big. Yeah, that's it. Arnold is, I remember, I think I remember hearing this, he's smaller than a lot of his other roles. Yeah, right. Like just leaner. He's still enormous, but he's not like commando big

or definitely not as big as he was when he was bodybuilding. Yeah, right. But what do you think of that big minigun? I love it. What are you taking that into the jungle for? Well, that's a really good question. It's overcompensating. Yeah, it is.

And again, as we've mentioned, one of my favorite things in movies is the minigun, the badly misnamed minigun, which is an enormous gun. And to my mind it's very rarely used well it should be used to cut people into pieces but in this movie obviously it's just used to

shoot up a tree line so it's good in Terminator 2 even though it doesn't cut anyone in pieces yeah but it does a lot of property damage it's for real property damage like I don't know if they actually fired a gun at those cop cars or if they squibbed it or whatever they would have squibbed it.

But it looks so good. And Dread. Not a minigun though. Doesn't count. Isn't it? It's got to be the real thing. Don't they use a minigun to like... Yeah, but it's not the actual one.

I want the actual one. You want just that one. I want the actual, the General Electric M, whatever it's called. That one there. Yeah, yeah. There's a story about... It's called a minigun because it's a smaller version than the one they put on planes. The one they put on planes, yes.

We've talked about this, Mason. We've had Maceo's minigun minutes. But we'll get emails otherwise. Okay, right. Gotcha. But so who's the guy who carries a minigun? What's his name?

That wrestler guy. Oh, Jesse Ventura. Jesse Ventura. He apparently made a bet with Arnold about whose biceps were bigger. Okay. And Arnold went in and told the tailor to tell Jesse Ventura

that his arms were two inches bigger than Arnold's. So he made the bet and then he lost. Oh, that's fun. The bet. Okay, that's cool. But if you look at them, they're not, like Arnold is a bigger guy or ripped, you know what I mean? Just by looking at it.

It's weird that he didn't know that. And also it's weird that you couldn't just go get a tape measure and measure your own arms why would you make that why would you make the bed have you ever measured your own arms though i mean who i mean these guys but i'm not making i'm not making wild bicep based bets am i i'm not making any triple b's no part of my daily routine yeah yeah how does the predator choose what to mimic like you'll mimic a laugh in the second one he mimics want some candy like why doesn't he mimic shane black's joke about his girlfriend's vagina yeah it's weird the stuff that he picks yeah isn't it yeah no rhyme or reason like it's often swears well he doesn't understand english so yeah but he picks i don't know but but it's true he also

never he rarely picks the end of a sentence. Yeah. Or like the middle bits. He's never, yeah, exactly. So I don't know. He's never like going down to the shops and, you know. I think he must understand some of it. Right. I think he has a basic understanding. It's probably a foreign, it's like a lot of foreign languages.

You learn the swears first. You learn the swears first. Exactly. Yeah. And then you learn which bus is going to the shops. Yes. Which bus is going to the shops? The 106.

That's a good one. It's pretty good, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I hate buses. They're never on time. They always pull out in front of you. I know they're technically allowed to, but they really take advantage of that. They will wait till you're right there and then just pull out.

What do we got here? So the bit where Arnold discovers that're right there. Yeah. And then just fall out. What do we got here? So the bit where Arnold discovers that he's invisible. Yes. There's a bit where the Predator's coming up on him and he just goes on back and he locks his arms into it like the roots of a tree. But he doesn't know that he's invisible at that point. What? He doesn't know that Arnold himself is invisible?

Yes. But he's just sitting there with his arms locked into the tree. Like, stand up. Fist fight. I don't know. Maybe he's terrified. Yeah. But he's just sitting there with his arms locked into the tree. Like, stand up, fist fight. I don't know. Maybe he's terrified. Yeah. But I do love- Maybe he thinks the predator's eyes, vision is based on movement.

That's very possible. But it's not that. It's a different thing. It's a different thing. You can't see through mud and stuff. But I do like the way that he figures it out and whatever. And again, this is in the documentary, they were going to put mud prosthetics on him.

Okay. And then they were like- Like a mud fat suit. Like a mud on him okay and then they were like like a mud fat suit like a mud fat suit but then they're like oh no it's really hot and he'll die if we do that yeah so they just made this clay mud mixture and just hosed him down with it okay right and that's that's what it looks like and it looks great and now you know the rest of the story that's right yeah but i do like that idea of the camouflage and I like how he uses it. What's weird though, at the end, before their showdown,

they both have a, especially Arnold. Like a gearing up ritual. Yeah, but it's a really long time. Like the Predator leaves him alone for ages and he's just soaring down trees and you can hear him

crack and wood and stuff like that. But it doesn't come anywhere near him. He only knows where he is when he puts up the torch and screams. Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah, I just think that's really... Code of honor. Cracking wood and stuff like that. But it doesn't come anywhere near him. He only knows where he is when he puts up the torch and screams. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I just think that's really.

Coat of honor, man. That's what it is. He's giving him the time. Yeah. He does, doesn't he? So, but that, in a lot of ways, Predators, I think is a better movie than Predator. But I think the final Arnold Predator fight is so good. Yeah, I agree.

It's really tense. And, you know, they're're all they're both very scrappy and using all sorts of gear and equipment and situations and and dropping logs on each other so it's just though what there is a funny bit you know where the where he's first sees a predator when he's about to ambush him and he's walking across a log i don't know if you remember but he's he makes the explosive arrow. And the shot that he does, it's like this downward arc. It's like the worst arrow shot in film history.

It'd be like if you went to an archery range and you did that, you'd be like, oh, can I go again? That's exactly it. But he did it, didn't he? Yes.

So that's good. Do you know the bit where they killed the scorpion with the knife? It's on Carl Weathers' back and they use it. Yes, uh-huh. It looks like they really killed a scorpion. Probably did.

I feel like now you can't kill a scorpion. You can't kill any scorpions. They're all endangered. That's probably the last of its kind. That was probably the last breeding pair. Yeah. Wife is at home like, I wonder when my scorpion husband will be back. Because we need to make more scorpions.

Because we don't have any currently. Nah. Dead now. Anyway, The Predator's a good movie. Yeah, Predator is a good movie. Predator is a good movie. The Predator yet to be seen, whether it's a good movie. We don't know yet.

I like the bit where he gets caught in a net. Yeah. I like the bit also where the Predator medical kit heals himself. I like those moments in the movies. Oh, yes? Yeah. Yeah. Again, he shouldn't be injured, but whatever.

Yeah, exactly. All in all, what are we rating these? Are we rating them in terms of how mean they are as a predator? Have we talked about that? Have we the order code? No. How about this? Okay. The movie's either

good or bad. This is good. It's good, isn't it? It's a good one. It's a a good movie we'll think of a more detailed rating system later and i'll we need are we gonna are we gonna though i'm not going to i'm not in the mood all right me neither yeah uh predator 2 oh boy it's a fucking weird movie it's really weird and bad in my opinion it's one of those movies that apparently has a cult following there are elements of it which i like. Yeah, I agree. Yeah. So this movie is... It's the Robocop future.

It is the Robocop. So here's the thing. So this... We should have... This is why... Because I haven't seen this since like 1993 or whatever. Yeah. I remember it...

Like I haven't watched it... I didn't watch it since then because I remember being like, oh, this is even darker than the... I remember it being darker and grislier than the first one, but it's stupider. It's so much stupider.

So it came out in 1990 and it's set in the far-flung future of 1997 where they have decided that at this point, Los Angeles is just going to be a war zone. It's just going to be this hellscape that there is just going to be feuding zone. It's just going to be this hellscape that there's just going to be feuding gangs just firing future machine guns at each other.

It looks like the movie Bright. It does, yeah, it does. But yeah, it's the Robocop future. There's like a hard copy, like a tabloid entertainment reporter just at the front of every crime scene going like, where are the police? There's a gang there. Shooting at everybody and everybody's in the crossfire.

Everybody's dying. Ha ha, where are the police now? What's your angle, mate? Yeah, exactly. He's watching you. And I love the bit, oh, it's got all those, and that, what's the 90s movies,

but it's got all that 80s, 90s cop trope, you know, just stereotypical stuff of like, a reporter getting punched by a cop because he took it too far. You go to the cop station and it's just fucking anarchy. It's just like... There's people just being dragged in different directions, just yelling and screaming.

There's, like, people being, you know, Lady Cop will grab a guy by the nuts and be like, what are you... you want to lose this? Keep playing, buster, kind of thing, you know? But it's all that, and it's just... but what's interesting is that the subsequent Predator movies, so Predators and this new one. Alien versus Predator? Yeah.

But they all mention, and Predator 2 actually, they all go, okay, back in the 80s, there was this incident in the South American jungles, the Predator, blah, blah, blah. No other movie has ever mentioned Predator 2. They've cut it out. But they've taken stuff from it. Right.

Like the weapons. But Gary Busey's son, Jake Busey, plays Gary Busey's son in the Predator. Predator, right. So it is canon. Okay, wow. Yeah, the Alien Predator ones aren't. So how are they going to, like how are they going to be like, I remember from 1997.

Remember when Los Angeles was a war zone? It was taken over by a voodoo Jamaican gang. Remember that? And then they just left. We've never mentioned it again, but I remember it. Yeah, they cleaned it up. Yeah, but we've got... What an interesting dynamic.

We've got youngish Danny Glover as a cop on the edge. Youngish, yeah. He's a big dude. I forget how big that guy is. He's massive. I mean, he's certainly got big slacks. Certainly does. Slacks are so big.

And everybody's dressed like it's... I think maybe it was originally intended to be in Florida or something. Right, okay. Because everybody's dressed like it's... What's the future, man? It's 97. Everybody's got big zoot suit pants on and like anyway it doesn't matter uh but like he's this he's the cop on the edge and he's again the cop cliche of like the the the movie starts with a a pitch battle between two gangs yes and i can't remember the names of the gangs i can't

remember the names of the characters except for one guy called el scorpio there's a guy called el scorpio and his in honor of the last living scorpion i think so his his he's just a crazy guy with a ponytail tail and two uzis that never run out of bullets nobody there's the only person in this movie who runs out of bullets is bill paxton yeah right subway nobody else ever runs out of bullets and it's like it's peak 90s where we just like like it's just madness do you think it's intentional like it's supposed to be like a funny no i don't think it is but then there's a bit on the train where everybody has a gun that's supposed to be a joke okay maybe then i don't know but yeah it's often hard to tell but i think it's just like it was one of those things that people didn't think about

really yeah right it's just like yeah look we need a scene where people there's a shootout so let's just have people fire thousands of bullets without reloading and it's i mean there is that scene in there's one scene like that in the predator but the opening 20 minutes of this film is just that it's just been absolutely and danny glover drives his cop car i was gonna say like the door he's he's the talking about cop cliches he's the cop on the edge and you know he's cited for bloody police brutality and you know property damage and he's wrecked 11 squad cars whatever it just kind of looked like he was wrecking his own car yeah because there's the anyway there's this big war there's this big pitch battle going on. And you see this brown car with the police light just scream through. And I'm like, oh, is he going to charge in the middle of this fight?

Is he going to crash into some gang members? He's not. He just crashes into some parked cars. Just park your car, mate. Just park your car. That's not when he drives the car and knocks the door off. No, that's later. That's just when he enters the scene.

He just enters the scene. He's just like, hey, everybody, I just crashed into a couple of cars. Anyway, what's going on? How is that man? Like, he's basically Jason Statham from Crank. He should have had a stroke like 20 years prior. Yeah, right, exactly.

He's just constantly wired. Yeah. Yeah. Is that a real gun that he's got? I'm sure it is, like, as a modified... Danny Glover's gun. Yeah, it's got like a... It's a Desert Eagle, but it's got like...

It's got some additions. All the cops, because it's supposed to be the grimdark future, so all the cops have regular guns, but each one has two laser sights on it. Yes. What do you think of the invisibility effect in this? Much worse, I feel. But there are some good moments.

Yeah, all right. Do you remember the bit where he fights the voodoo priest? Yeah. But you see him walking through the water? Oh, in the alley. That looks good. Incredible. But there's other bits where it's like... But there's the bit right at the end where... but you see him walking through the water. That looks good. Oh, in the alley. That looks good. Incredible. Yeah, yeah.

But there's other bits where it's like, But there's the bit, again, right at the end where- There's a weird voodoo element to this movie. There is. Because I guess the skulls and the spines and the- Are they actually magic? No. Yeah, because they talk like it's a real thing because it's like there's somebody here,

it's a predator, it's from space and whatever. But how do you know that? Well, there's no other magic in that universe. I guess they're all insane and on cocaine. There's a lot of, yeah. Drinking each other's blood or whatever. But right at you know that? Well, there's no other magic in that universe. I guess they're all insane and on cocaine. There's a lot of, yeah. Drinking each other's blood or whatever. But right at the end, we see, you know, Danny Glover realizes that there's a whole bunch

of predators on the planet. Yeah. And that is the worst I've ever seen that effect. So bad. Because I think, it looks to me, they only had one predator suit or maybe two. No, they had more than one. Did they?

Because it looks like they only had one. Yeah, but I think they also did the, maybe they had three or four, but. did you say it was a dance off? well no there's a video of a dance there's a music dance video oh music dance video you can look it up it's on YouTube but yeah because I think when they come in

because they're not in the scene so they green screen them in or blue screen them in and they never look like they're standing in the room until it then cuts back to them and they are standing in the room terrible the effects get much better in subsequent predator movies yeah but anyway so this movie has some elements that i liked uh not because they're good i like bill paxton as the the the newbie or the the cop who's who's arrived in Los Angeles. He's transferred in.

Yeah. And he's a real cool dude. He's a cool dude. He's like, man, PR is my specialty. Yeah, I'm like... Surveillance is my specialty. I'm like, is he supposed to be the guy from True Lies? What kind of character is this supposed to be?

But then he's a good guy, I guess. He does turn out to be a good guy, yeah. There is a really good moment where the Predator rips his spine out. And you see it. He's just kind of in the subway. And you just see him do it in one motion and then he's off. That's a really cool looking moment. As a kid, I remember that being really...

I remember him climbing to a tower and ripping the head off there. But no, it's just in the subway. It's real undignified. Yeah, why not though? I love how he's got a little skull polishing kit. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. Yeah not, though? Yeah, uh-huh. I love how he's got a little skull polishing kit. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

You know, like a collector. Also, why is that the one human skull he chose to take? I think because it was a real fight or something. Oh, okay. I don't know. It's weird. I think this one's a worse bloke than the other one because there's a bit where he scans the uterus of a woman and is like, you're a pregnant woman.

And then when he's about to lose a fight, he's like, fuck it. I'm going to kill everybody in this city. I'm just going to set off this bomb. It's true. Like he doesn't care. Yeah. Yeah. So it's again, it's that set of rules, which makes no sense.

I love that because it's 1997 though. And there's a moment where I think it's, they're on the subway and Danny Glover gets handed a phone, but it's on a cord. So I guess it's a briefcase phone. Yeah, right. But you think you couldn't have predicted a mobile phone? Like they had mobile phones in the early 90s. They weren't good, but they had them. There's one in Wall Street.

I just think that's weird. Yeah, but that would have cost $10,000. Yeah, I know, but it's 97. I just feel like you could have foreseen that. James, the future 1997, technology was moving towards voodoo. No, it wasn't mobile phones. Well, the Predator stopped that, didn't it? Mobile phones were a fad.

Voodoo was the future. It certainly was, yeah. The bit where the Predator climbs up the building and he holds the spear up and he's like... And he's struck by lightning. Is that intentional? What do you mean? Is he supposed to be struck by lightning? Oh, you mean...

Is it powering him? No. Do you think he was like, oh, I've made a mistake? Yeah, I think so. Yeah. Because he can be shot and hurt and trapped. So I feel like a bolt of lightning would probably kill him.

It would absolutely kill him. Unless maybe his stick is made of a special metal. Maybe that's it. But you see the electricity roll through him I just think it's very weird

okay there is a good moment though where they think they've got the predator trapped in a meat packing plant surprise

surprise appearance by Adam Baldwin he's in this I mean he's no good but he's still in it and the predator they think they've got him young Gary Busey he's so young he's so young in this, yeah. He's in this. I mean, he's no good, but still. He's no good, but he's still in it. Yeah. And the Predator, they think they've got him.

Young Gary Busey is so young. He's so young in this one. But he switches his vision. His shirts are so shiny. He's so shiny. But, you know, the Predator switches his vision. I think that's great. Yeah, that's cool.

You know, I think that's a good addition to the lore. I think there is good addition, like the spinny disc. Spinny disc, yeah. Like the spear is a good addition. Yep. There's more of the net. I think the net's in this one net I think the net's in this one I think the net is in this one

The net is in the first one So Yeah these are all good additions Yeah the sharp net Yeah The sharp net But You know the bit where Gary Busey

Gets cut in half by the Behind the Behind the meat Yes Uh huh His Body doesn't fall down Huh

His legs fall Yeah And then you see kind of blood Fall out Where his legs came from but there's no his body shot into space oh okay gary bucey yeah that makes sense yeah or he he um he turned into energy yes like a jedi he's not that good at it so his legs were half of him turned to do it do a jedi but that that all leads into the final Danny Glover. This is a bit of a drag, this one.

Kind of drag, isn't it? Yeah. You know, the final Danny Glover predator fight. You know when they're on the roof and the predator's facing the opposite direction and Danny Glover has his gun and the predator's spear, but he just tackles him? Yeah.

Just run him through. Danny Glover is not a good tactician the fact that the fact that he survives is kind of a miracle he does also in the opening sequence when he fights the gang members he does come up behind they're shooting wildly at cops and crowds and innocent people or whatever and danny glover comes up behind four of them and he goes hey assholes and then they turn around and then he shoots at them could have just shot him could have just shot him yeah you could have shot them and then said hey assholes because they probably wouldn't have died immediately that's true yeah i shot you you could have said yeah i shot you i've shot you this time uh so the predator fight

on the ships i mean it's interesting because it's on a predator ship and we see the alien skull and that's what kicked off a whole bunch of other stuff. But the... What are the other things? Is it a dinosaur or a dragon? Yeah, it's some kind of... I don't think they're not anything. I'm sure they're in comics, but I don't think they're from a particular franchise. But the fight on the ship's not super interesting.

Correct. And then he just stabs him and then there's more Predators. But why Yes Good question Why are there eight predators Is it like they're TV Are they watching him

Oh maybe they're placing bets Yeah what is it Maybe they're degenerate gamblers Yeah Like my theory is that Instead of like the blade on his arm He's got one of those things that shoots cards out For cheating I'm thinking like do they land and then draw straws and then to see who gets

somebody yeah like good maybe you don't want to do it be like okay right yeah you know this is an insane planet yeah right exactly yeah because it's weird how the first one is kind of set in the real world sort of yeah and this one is just again it's the robocop future it's weird how the first one is kind of set in the real world, sort of. Yeah. And this one is just... Again, it's the Robocop future. It's so weird. Yeah. Again, you mentioned that scene where they're on the subway and one person pulls a gun and then literally everybody pulls a gun.

But hey, it's all right. No, it's bad. It's got good lore. Yes. But it's a bad film. I think you're putting way too much credit on the lore there. No, I think a lot of that stuff carries over. Okay. All right. Yeah. Gary's over. lot of that stuff carries over. Okay, all right.

Yeah, Gary's over. Gary Busey's over. Gary Busey. His son, Jake Busey. Jake Busey, yeah. Jake Busey, yeah. So, yeah, no, it's bad, though. Okay.

You know what? I do love the opening fakeout where it looks like it's the jungle. It's the jungle. It's the jungle. We pan up. It's Los Angeles. But it doesn't look like it's- The real jungle. Predator 2 jungle. It's the jungle. We pan up. It's Los Angeles. The real jungle.

Predator 2. Yeah. Predator 2. I do like that song. That theme. They've both got great themes. The first one uses it particularly well. But when they're doing that scan through the jungle,

you can see roads. Yeah, I know. Like it's not... Yeah, I know. It's just the best shot they could find, given the day. Yeah, okay. I guess now they'd just make one, wouldn't they? just you know use a computer on use the computer yeah uh also

the bit where he throws him a gun at the end the the it's not a musket it's a pistol the flintlock pistol yeah it seems like a passing thought like he's about to leave and he's like oh fuck oh we had this yeah we didn't think you'd win. Hang on. Oh, yeah, about this. All right. I read up on that. I was going to bet this in a card game, but all right. I read up on this because I talk about this in this video that's coming up, but that Predator kept that as a trophy.

Congratulations. You killed a guy from the 1712 or whatever the hell that's from. Yeah, yeah. Big fucking deal. Not a challenge. That gun would have taken 10 minutes to reload that guy had one shot at you and you had a plasma cannon

and a spinny disc anyway makes no sense, but that's actually from a comic I was going to say because it's got a man's name on it so presumably that story has been told but they fought back to back and then that guy died and he gave the predator that so that's how how do. But they fought back to back and then that guy died and he gave the predator that.

Huh. So that's how. How do you mean they fought back to back? Well, he was a pirate and his crew turned against him and he was injured. And then the predator came down to help and he threw him his gun. Like he needs it. Right. Okay.

Yeah. So that's where that comes from. But I feel when this came out, I don't think that story was that. I think the story was the predator just killed a guy who was very unprepared for it. Oh, for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I think. Bang.

Well, I'm dead. What else do I have? Nothing. All in all, yeah, it's a movie. It is interesting that the Predator has... Like, I imagine fighting a dinosaur would have been a challenge. Yeah. But then there would have been this enormous...

But that would have been millions of... It has to be something else. It has to be an alien thing. Well, they do it everywhere. Yeah, no, but I mean, like, the dinosaur would have been 65 million years ago. Yeah. So... No, that's not a dinosaur skull.

Yeah, right. It's an alien skull. Okay, right. But they've been around for ages. Yeah, right. Yeah, they've been around for, like, thousands, millions of years or whatever. Right, right, right. Depending on what continuity you're looking at. Okay ages. Yeah, right. Yeah, they've been around for like thousands, millions of years or whatever. Depending on what continuity you're looking at. Okay, Predators, 2010.

Okay. It's a great movie. It is a good movie. It's a really good movie. I think objectively it might be the best one. But obviously a lot of it borrows elements from the other movies. And I don't think the finale is as good as the original finale. I still think it's good. But yeah, what do you think? I think it's just as good as the other movies. And I don't think the finale is as good as the original finale. I still think it's good.

But yeah, what do you think? I think it's just as good as the first one. Yep. I do think it drags a little bit. Is it at the prodogs? No, I'm talking towards the end. Again, I think it's the prep time between what has come before and the final battle. Right, okay.

But you need that breather, don't you? Yeah, I guess so, yeah. Okay, yeah, fair enough. Cracking opening. Yep. Just drop from the sky. Predators. Predators.

There's too many this time. Yep. These are apparently, well, they're super predators, and there's a few theories on, and the creative people behind this have talked about where they come from. They're obviously a slightly different species, so it's a race war, essentially.

Okay, right. They also might be outcasts. Okay. Because they're too big. see a slightly different species so it's like a it's a race war essentially right uh they also might be outcasts okay uh they're too big yeah or yeah so there's those things going on so yeah but also the new one seems like it's you get a you get a big predator that's different from other predators so i don't think the new one looks like it might take a lot of stuff from this movie yeah yeah people don't talk about this movie that much, do they? It's weird, right? Yeah. Because the first one has Arnold Schwarzenegger, and it has the big action sequences, and it's the first appearance of the Predator, obviously.

And the second one is super dumb, so why would you talk about it, except to point out how dumb it is. Yep. And yeah, this one kind of flew under the radar a little bit. Yeah, yeah. I think it did okay. Because it's not like one of those ones where you go,

oh, well, it's not a patch on the original, is it? Yeah. It's exactly on par with the original. Yeah, yeah. I think it did okay. Because it's not like one of those ones where you go, oh, well, it's not a patch on the original, is it? Yeah. It's exactly on par with the original. Yeah, yeah. And I think maybe that's it.

Maybe it's because people don't want to admit the thing that they love. You know, there's a, but why wouldn't you? There's a continuation of it that's just as good.

Yeah. And one thing I think that this movie does really well in the same way that the first one does is the distinct characters. Yeah, right, exactly. And some of them are...

We've got the Russian. We've got the Yakuza guy. There's a guy who's a rapist. Who's that guy? Wally Goggins. Who calls the Predator an F-bomb, but not the F-bomb you're thinking of, the other one. The other one.

Topher Grace. Topher Grace. Who's good in this? Lady Sniper yep Lady Sniper Lady Sniper the guy from the piano yes Lawrence Fishburne

is in it so yeah you know and you got your nods you got your miniguns and your whatevers again not used to it's full potential

Danny Trejo Danny Trejo's not used to it's full no they never hit a present Danny Trejo's not used to it's full potential either no

he's not but I think it's just because he because this is a Robert Rodriguez produced film. So he's in it, yeah. So he's in it. And also, I also feel like you need some memorable actors to go early. Yes. If he'd survived all the way to the end just because he was Danny Trejo, I'd have been like, that's fine.

But to kill him off first act, well, anybody could go. Anybody can Trejo. Anybody can Trejo. But to go, to kill him off first act, you know, well, anybody could go. Anybody can Trejo. Anybody can Trego. Yeah, that's right. Anybody can Trevago. Yes, that's right. Apparently this script was written in like the early 90s and they went, we can't make this because it's budgeted weirdly.

So they just sat for ages and then they brought it back out. We don't have a... We can't find a forest that looks like an alien planet. We've got regular forest. We've got forest with roads in it that turns into Los Angeles. We don't have alien forests.

We've got Forest Whitaker. It's not helpful. Not helpful. We have him. But to what end? Yes. Yeah. But no, I think...

I feel like this cast feels more... I mean, it's very over the top but they feel more realistic and real people than the first one does. Because they're not all bulging muscles. In fact, there's no bulging muscles. There's very few bulging...

I mean, the closest is probably the Russian guy. He's not even that big. Is he? Yeah. He's got some muscles, don't you think? I'm sure he has to lift that minigun. That's true. Yeah.

But again, this benefits from being set in a real jungle. I think the pro- dogs aren't good i don't mind that scene yeah but for those who haven't seen it the predators set dogs also spoilers for these movies set set dogs on them to kind of and i like the idea of whittling away their ammunition and testing them and whatever. But I don't think that effect is very good. No. And I think from a design perspective, there are, I don't know. They're just like,

they're just like wild boar with big spines. I don't know. But that's the thing. Like what else, if you're going to provide predatory alien dogs, what else do you do with them? Well, there's going to be a pro dog in the new one as well.

So there's a whole lot of stuff going on. One bit that made me go, oh, why? Was when the Yakuza guy takes his shoes off. Yes. I'm like, oh, what? No. What a mistake. What are you doing?

No. But he wants to feel a connection. Yeah, no, I understand it. I get it. But that would be the last thing I would do. You might stand on some glass, mate. You could stand on some glass. Come on.

Yeah. Well, you know the traps that they set off? It's a series of spikes and stakes and swinging logs and whatever. Was that from Lawrence Fishburne? No, that was from the guy, the dead body there. Oh, that's right. That happens immediately after. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So he set the traps and then he's killed and then all his traps are still left to be sprung. Okay, that makes sense. You know what? I think the Topher Grace character works, and you don't necessarily think he's a serial killer, though it's sort of hinted at, sort of, is that, because, you know, he tells a few lies, is that you could look at that and go, oh, he's the medic.

That's what I thought as well. They put him in for the medic. So I like that a lot. Same. So the predator must have caught him, like, carving up someone like Hannibal. Yeah, right. And then brought him over. Yeah. It's weird how he's like, I want to stay here. a lot same so the predator must have caught him like carving up someone like hannibal yeah right and then brought him over yeah it's weird how he's like i want to stay here what right uh-huh

you think you're just gonna pal about with them like they don't like you they brought you here specifically to kill you that's right yeah so uh i also like the reveal that i think they're i'm fairly certain they spoiled this in the trailers but that it's not earth like the compass is off and yeah they do spoil that the trailer nobody recognizes the terrain and then but imagine again if you hadn't seen this seen that and then they just walk out to the open bit and it's just alien world and you'd just be like fuck like this is well yeah you would we're definitely gonna die here so yeah and they do i guess eventually because well we talked about this before the show but you mentioned the sequel comic last week that i was very excited there's a prequel comic and there's a sequel i didn't read the

prequel comic but the pre the prequel comic is the final uh the final mercenary job royce adrian brody's character does before he gets abducted But you don't see him get abducted. Yeah. You see one of the predators from the movie observe him. Okay, right. So the actual mechanics of the abduction is still a mystery.

Do you see the actual predator itself, the one that does it? Yeah, it's one of the super... He's got a name, I think. Yeah, they all have weird names. But you do see the specific one yeah okay the falconer one no no it's the it's the dog one it's the one that releases the dogs yeah yeah okay gotcha so i guess that would mean if that's canon then the idea that they're trapped

there isn't true that which one predators oh the super predators yeah yeah they went i mean maybe they are now yeah but the yeah they they they specifically went to earth to collect these people yeah do you like the uh the inclusion of the classic predator yeah i think it's never I mean, maybe they are now. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, they specifically went to Earth to collect these people. Yeah. Do you like the inclusion of the classic Predator? Yeah, for sure. I think it's never looked better. I agree. It looks really good.

There's some great beheadings. Yeah. Like the goo in the neck and whatever. Yeah, that's true, yeah. It's really good. Yeah. That blood, that idea for that fluoro blood is really good. Yeah.

It's a great idea. But no, I think that's the best suit that they've had. And they all look reasonably good, but I like the understanding that they have is like, can we just leave this place? Take me home, please. Country roads, please. To the place where I belong, please.

Please. Yeah. Okay, so. How do you feel about the cloaking device effect in this? Way better. It's better, but it's not... It's too slick? I mean, I guess, but it doesn't feel like...

I don't know, because they're totally invisible. And then we get the electric effect and then they're visible again. It didn't feel enough to me. Not shifty enough? It didn't seem shimmery enough. I want to see that graduated shimmery effect. Well, maybe they updated their tech. Maybe they did, yeah.

Because they talk about that as well. Because I think when we see Lawrence Fishburne's version, it does look different, I think. Oh, he's got the old one. Maybe I'm imagining it. I don't remember. It does look like he's... Okay, so we're talking about this, right?

One season, Lawrence Fishburne says he's been there 10 seasons. Yes. One season is three years, so he's been there 30 years. Okay. I read somewhere that they said since the Vietnam War, but that would mean 1980, which doesn't line up. Right. Sure.

Let's say he was. He was at the back end of the Vietnam War or whatever. Okay. Right. He's a bit big for a man who's been living. Oh, come on, man. I'm just saying. Wow.

He's not big by any stretch. But I mean, for a man who's been living in the jungle I mean he must be killing a lot of people And getting a lot of food Yeah Because a lot of them don't arrive with food There's no real mention of food Except Lawrence Fishburne

So you're saying he's killing people and eating them Maybe Yeah Alright alright Well I mean he does try to gas them to death So maybe that's what he does. Maybe he's a cannibal. He could be.

So he's been there 30 years. Right. So that's pretty insane. But I think there's variations on what people think it is. But I think officially it's one season is three years. Also, we don't know when this movie is actually set. That's true. It could be set in 1997.

Could be 1998, right? Yeah. I mean, they've got... I mean, there's modern-ish guns, I guess, in it. That's true. But I don't... I'm not a big guns guy, so I couldn't... I wouldn't dare say.

These guys are really good at pulling out a man's spine with their head attached. Yeah, right? Well, he pulls Wally Goggins' head out. Like it's nothing. Like it's nothing, right? Yeah. And then it's a skull straight away. Yeah. I feel that's a continuity issue. Like, he rips' head out. Like it's nothing. Like it's nothing, right? And then it's a skull straight away. Yeah.

I feel that's a continuity issue. Like he rips the head out. You'd think his head would still be attached. You'd think you'd have to... Does he know where to cut it? Yeah, maybe there's a trick to it. You know, like you're deboning a fish. Yeah, maybe it's like peeling an orange, maybe?

Yeah, exactly. Yeah. That's fine. Maybe it's like cracking open a Terry's chocolate orange. You know, you just give it a tap. Sure. Skin comes off. Skin comes off. Skin comes off.

Yeah, the Predator on Predator fight's good. Would you agree with that? I agree, yeah. I don't know if you remember the Alien versus Predator fight from Requiem. It's kind of a who cares. Fair enough. Yeah, it all looks fine. It's actually really dark.

It doesn't look that good. But it's kind of, I don't care if this Predator wins. Yeah, right. Because who cares? And then they both died. It's like, who cares? But in this, it's like, you want't care if this predator wins. Yeah, right. Because who cares? And then they both died. It's like, who cares? But in this, it's like, you want the classic predator to win so Adrian Brody can leave.

Yeah, right. It's not so much I care whether that one lives. It's a real Jurassic World scenario. You want the classic one to win. You want the classic one to win, yeah. Even though it's really bad. Yes. And just a monster, really.

You just want the classic one to win. How did it get there? Good questions all around. I love that line, though, where To the classic one to win. How did it get there? Good questions all around. I love that line, though, where Tova Grace drugs the sniper. And then he says, oh, you're a good man. And Adrian Brody says, I'm not a good man. I'm just fast. I'm just fast.

I love that. It's great. Because he's not like, I'm a bad guy. It's a way better line. That's true, yeah. To be like, I'm fast. How do you feel about Adrian Brody's? I think he sells it.

He's good. He's a good actor. He's really good. What else has he been in besides The Pianist? I don't even know. And he's bloody ripped as, mate. Yeah. He looks great.

Yeah. But I like his trap. He looks like a proper long-range recon guy. He does. He's like a real... Like, you know... He's not Hollywood handsome. Yeah.

He's good looking, but he's like... But he's ripped, but he's not huge. He's a pencil with muscles. He's a pencil with... Yeah, exactly. But I like his trap. I don't think it's as... It's probably not as good as the Dutch one because that's the classic scene or whatever.

But the fire and the running in and out. Yeah, see? Because he can't rely on... He's clearly gone, well, I can't just punch this guy to death. I'm really going to have to work at this., I can't just punch this guy to death. Yeah. I'm really going to have to work at this. So I thought, I think that's a real solid finale there. And I like how he's using the crew, who he doesn't care about,

to test the Predator's limits and abilities. Yeah, right, uh-huh. I mean, that's a prick of a move, but they're all pricks. Yeah, exactly. It doesn't really matter. Yeah. But we're never going to know what happens. Because the sequel comic, I didn't read the full thing.

I read the Wikipedia. The sequel comic also ends on a cliffhanger to some degree. Yeah, it's essentially the same ending. Yeah, it's him and Isabel, who's the lady sniper. Also, I mentioned this. The sequel comic is written by David Laffam, who is most famous for laughing it up he's always laughing it up and his comic book stray bullets which is like a super well regarded

crime like a very long-running crime comic which it's our pal andrew levin's favorite comic book of all time probably uh and which i i should get to i've read some of it but not a lot and i should definitely get to that but then he's just doing uh's just doing a movie tie-in sequel comic book. I mean, it probably would have been good money. Yeah, for sure. But the story is essentially, he splits up with Isabella. Isabella, whatever her name is. Because he's like, I'm going alone.

I'm going to go, Isabella. Which is kind of the lesson that he learns at the end of the first one, is that he comes back. Yeah, right. That's the point of the movie. He Han Solo's it. He of the first one is that he comes back. Yeah, right. That's the point of the movie. He Han Solo's it. He Han Solo's it, then he comes back. Yeah, and then...

Then he realized he needs her later. Yeah. But then he's gifted, because the Predator high command, I guess, is like, well, you're like King Hunter, so here's your own Predator suit. So he wears his own Predator suit. Yep. It's odd. It's very odd.

Yeah. Maybe that's why he was like, I'm going alone i got a predator suit yeah right but then at the end they're just like he's like okay well i guess we're back together again and we're still on this planet so there was it's a it's a sequel but it's not a you could make another movie and it wouldn't matter yeah the comic wouldn't matter oh what if he shows up at the end of the predator i would love triple x three star oh my god like ice cube they're like oh no they show up in the predator ship yes yes yes i would love that i would also i think i'd be more excited to see him than dutch yeah for sure yeah okay what about both of them amazing yes and glover Just bring them all back. So good. Don't you think that would be a good movie?

They show up. They show up in a car with one spare seat. And they're like, now, Jake Busey, get in here. Get in here. There's one seat left. What if they did a Predator movie with the people, like the elite who killed Predators? Who survived. I think that would be amazing.

That would be amazing. But they just grabbed those guys. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Or, even better, it's a quirky indie comedy. Right. And it's just,

it's the predator support group. So it's everybody who survived a predator attack and they just go around in a circle and talk about it. Yeah. I also watch that. Same, right?

It was crazy. Yeah. It was crazy. I had mud on me. I didn't think it would work.? It was crazy. Yeah. It was crazy. It muddled me. I didn't think it would work. I didn't even see him. It's invisible. And they're like, I know, right?

How did the daddy do it? I like also in Predators that you can see the heartbeat of Adrian Brody. Yeah. Even though he's a man with a heart of stone, you can't hide it all the way. How do you feel about the Predator infrared vision effect is getting better? Do you like it? I like the basicness of it.

I think it might be too detailed in the Predators. Right, yeah. Yeah, what do you think? Though I look at the original Predator and it just looks like nothing. How do you not walk into a tree? But see, that's part of what makes it feel like it's more of a challenge to him. Right. Kind of thing that he's like, this isn't the world he's used to looking through.

Yeah. Like maybe, you know, because he can't really see properly without the mask. He can see that red cast vision kind of thing. You can still see though, Carney. Yeah, you can. Doesn't he still see when he takes it off? Hasn't he still got the infrared vision? No, he's got he we can see

it's like a it's like a red stain if i remember correctly it's like a red stain vision like he can it doesn't look like normal night time okay fair enough but i always thought that was the challenge that it's like it's not perfect so but in in predators and all this one like they can see so much you can see faces and... Yeah. Yeah. And yeah. Yeah. All right. It's a great movie.

It's a great movie. Yeah. Everybody should check it out if you don't mind the fact we just spoiled it for you. Absolutely. If you haven't seen it already, I'm going to give it my finest rating this episode of Good. Me too. I'm going to give it Good also. We should come back and do Alien vs. Predators at some point.

Yeah. I should re-watch those. Yeah. Me too. I have nothing but bad things to say about the first one, but maybe it's because I only saw it the once. Opposite. I like the first one way better than the second one.

All right, well. Okay. You know what it's time for then? What's it time for? What are we reading? Oh, what are we going to read? Yeah, okay. I'm doing the thing.

What are we reading today? What have you been reading? I have finished Spider-Man on PlayStation 4. You haven't. I have. Have you? Yeah. I got an early copy.

I really wanted it. And then I just got an email out of Blue on Monday or Tuesday, like, do you want a copy of this? And I'm like, yeah, 100% yes. And they said, don't talk about it. And so I can't. All right then. Can you give us any impressions? Look, if you think you'll like it, you probably will.

Okay. You, not me. What if I'm no good at web swinging? Just generally. I'd imagine you'd find it pretty forgiving. You would. Okay. I'm not saying I would.

I would do that. Okay, right. Great, great, great. But I think people are going to be happy with it. Nice. I'd say, I don't know that. forgiving you would okay i'm not saying i would i would do that okay right yeah right but i think people are going to be happy with it nice i'd say i don't know that because you know but i'm saying you i mean you have played it i mean i do know but like yeah huh so you're really in a bind here you can't say much at all well i'm i think i'm doing a video on it on hypothetically who would your favorite villain be who would my favorite villain i don't want to spoil anything mason

okay right there's a There's a, yeah. All right. No, no. It's all right. I mean, it's out in like, isn't it out in like a couple of days anyway? Friday. I can talk about it on Tuesday. But yeah.

That's exciting. Yeah. That's, yep. Sorry. Well, thanks for nothing. I feel like a real dick. After I posted that picture on Instagram, that Twitter that I got it, I'm like, that's a kind of a dick thing to be like,

hey, look what I got early, but I was very excited. But that's the point. That's why they give influencers certain stuff ahead of time. I still feel like an arsehole. Yeah, well, I mean, that's the thing about the key to being a good influencer is to not feel like an arsehole about all your arsehole behavior. You're getting all free stuff like an ar about all your asshole behavior, you know, getting all free stuff,

like an asshole, like an asshole. Yeah. Right. Exactly. That's how that works. Yeah. Well, to be,

it's not really good. It's not going to be free. I'm going to buy it because I want a physical copy. Yeah. Right. So I'm not getting paid. Well, what happens,

what happens to nothing? I can keep it, but I want a physical copy just to have, just to look at the manual. I like physical discs. So yeah. Fair enough. And it's good to support things that you like.

So, you know what I mean? Yeah. So I'm going to get a PlayStation this week, finally. Yeah. For this game specifically. So we'll probably talk

about it next week. And probably Cyberpunk 2077, whenever that's coming out. Yeah, that looks great. I'm excited about that. That looks super good. You're going to get the new Tomb Raider?

It's out in a couple weeks? Well, I played the reboot and we just had this conversation I should get Rise of the Tomb Raider. Because that's her first... Isn't the premise of that it's her first proper tomb raid? Yes. It's not her...

It's not Lara surviving that island that nearly killed her. It's her just going like, I'm going to go back for some reason. And the newest one is she's basically the predator. Oh, cool. She's a horrible murderer. And they really lean into that. Wait, what do you mean? In the new one, she's just gutting people. Why though? Because she's a horrible murderer and they really lean into that wait what do you mean in the new one

she's just she's just gutting people why though because she's crazy has she gone crazy is that the premise I think so yeah maybe is that in the trailer

should I watch the trailer you should watch the trailer yeah yeah I love the mechanics of those games and I find the reboot way more interesting than the old one

okay here's okay given that I have not had given that the Playstation 4 has been out for several years yes i i haven't got it yet what should i'm asking you and i'm also asking our listeners sure what should i get so far so far i've gotten i should get arkham knight which i never played it's okay i wouldn't say you need to rush out and get that i probably won't uh some of the uncharted games games? Yep. You said skip one. I like one, but you can skip it. Okay.

2, 3, 4. 2, 3, 4, yeah. And what's that? Is there a spin-off? There's a Vita version. Lost Legacy or something? Oh, yeah. That's really good.

I've got that. Yeah, that's really good. It's not as polished. There's glitches in it, but it's still great. So Rise of the Tomb Raider. Rise of the Tomb Raider, which is basically Uncharted. God of War is really great. God of War, okay.

What have I got down there? Yeah. See, the benefit of this is a lot of them are quite cheap now. They really are, yeah. Does the PS4 have an indie games library? Yeah, definitely. So I'd be keen to hear some indie game recommendations, some little stuff that I can play would be good.

See, now also I'm committing to buying this thing. Yes. Because if I'm like, guys, give me recommendations, and then three months later I'm like, actually, I didn't buy it. You should. I mean, I think we should do a spider-man episode. Okay cool I think it's definitely worth talking about. All right. I don't know how much time I have over the weekend Oh wait, I've right off. There you go Plenty of time you may have to finish the game. Maybe you'll know what's going on by the end of it. Cool

I think I'm trying to see what games I'm just gonna have a look and see there's anything else you might like All right. I'll be here on my phone I don't want to Then have to give it back up to drive all the way all the way over here you miles away, mate Anything else you might like. All right. I'll be here on my phone. You can't just borrow the stuff you heard. No, I don't want to. Because then I have to give it back. I have to drive all the way over here. You're miles away, mate. All right.

I hope people can hear me, but Shadow of the Colossus, the remake. He's saying you can just say normally and I'll just say them. I'll yell them into the microphone. Shadow of the Colossus. Shadow of the Colossus. What about Dishonored? Is that a good game? Yeah, people like it. Okay, great.

The last of us remastered. Uh-huh. Is that going to give me the feels? Because I don't particularly want the feels right now. You'll get the feels. I mean video game feels. Okay, not real feels. Horizon Zero Dawn.

Is that good? Yeah, I like it. There's Wolfenstein. It's a lot of sandbox stuff, isn't it? Yes. Should I get the Doom reboot? Because I want to get Doom Eternal. And get Injustice.

Get Injustice. All right. God, there's a lot of games, isn't there? Yeah. These better all be $20. Look, I would say don't get a bunch at once because you'll play like four minutes of each. Yeah, I'll get Spider-Man. I'll get Spider-Man and maybe, you know what?

I'll just get Spider-Man. Yeah, just get Spider-Man. I'll get Spider-Man and whatever game comes free with the console. Yeah, it's about 20 hours of just straight gameplay with outside stuff. Right, okay. And that is what they've said. That's not me saying that. Is there any of those stupid

run-through-all-the-rings minigames? No. Good, because I hate them. Oh, wait, there's a hundred of them. Oh, goddammit. Oh, well, that's the opposite of what I want. There are some elements of it which I I can't talk about which I think could

have been less of all right okay but that could be tell me afterwards after all right yeah cool also I something that I didn't get I

watched a couple of episodes but I didn't find I finally got to it this week I finished Toast of London the Matt Barry TV show

it gets it gets sillier as it goes along which I enjoy clearly they went okay yes I can hear you Clem Fand, that's great. It gets sillier as it goes along, which I enjoy. Clearly they went, okay. Yes, I can hear you, Clem Fandango. That's great. It's good, yeah. Clem Fandango's in the new Star Trek.

Is he? Who is he? He's the guy, the Klingon man. Oh, there you go. Yeah. Oh, in Discovery. In Discovery, yeah. Right, okay.

There you go. So it's for anybody who hasn't seen it. It's Matt Barry from many things, The It Crowd and Dark Place. He's the second boss in... He's the second much more over-the-top boss in The It Crowd. Denim Renom? No, Denim Renom's the first guy. That's Chris Morris.

He's the second boss. Derek? I can't remember. Can't remember. And he's in Dark Place. He's the very dramatic... Speaking of guys who mispronounce things for humour, that's his whole shtick.

But he's a guy called... He's an actor called Stephen Toast who is in what is apparently the worst play ever put to the stage. Douglas. Douglas Renner, there we go. It's constantly being picketed and protested. And he gets just like, he gets by on voiceover work and he has an arch nemesis called Ray,

Ray purchase. It's a whole, it's a whole thing. Yeah. You wouldn't think it's enough to, to string. You wouldn't think it's enough to string a series on, but it is.

He he's, he's he's recently divorced and he's living with an active friend. Yes. And sometimes Peter Davison, one of the doctors. Yeah. As himself, as himself as himself yeah it's a weird version of himself yeah i want it one episode everybody's got a knife for some reason a lot of it makes no sense but i enjoyed a lot it's not for everyone no it's definitely not i think it's great i think if you watch a couple

in here like this makes this is not for me it's probably you're probably right yeah but uh boy it's fun boy it's fun. Boy, it's fun. Yeah. All right. We should do letters? Yeah, let's do letters. The classic one was letters, oh letters.

We love you, some letters. They're only a day my way. I know they're here right now. We're going to do letters. Nice. Isn't it just? Jazz hands. We've gone this whole episode without mentioning we're both

wearing puffy vests we have do we have to bring that up no but i think it's irrelevant i put this on when i first bought it and then nearly had a panic attack because i look like every fucking dad just do you think but that's what in my area every dad is wearing because i think from a different perspective you look like a guy who's just come back from a rave. Because you've got a t-shirt and a puppy vest. Yeah, well, I guess normally you wouldn't put it. You're wearing headphones. You've got Ugg boots on. Normally they have like a long sleeve tee.

I think that's for the dads in my area. Right, okay. Yeah, and. You want to show off those guns though. Oh, absolutely I do. You know what I had, speaking of dad things, at my son's daycare. We really weren't. You're really shoehorning us in, but all right.

They had a thing where you go with your son and they have a little afternoon tea. And so I met another bunch of- Skies? No, it was very basic. We've been okay, whatever. Good old fun. But I met a bunch of other dads and I'm like, I fucking hate this and everybody here. But they're all very nice.

So I'm just a terrible, terribly awful person. Terribly cool guy. No. Do you think they were hating it or do you think they were loving it? I don't know. I don't know. I don't want to, because I can't pull someone aside and go, hey, just between you and me, do you hate this?

Yeah. Well, maybe you do. I mean, otherwise it's, to, because I can't pull someone aside and go, hey, just between you and me, do you hate this? Yeah. Well, maybe you do. I mean, otherwise it's, see, that's the thing. Like, otherwise it's going to be torture for you for the next decade at least. Yeah. So maybe you should be like, maybe you should take that leap and be like, hey, listen, do you hate this? And what's the worst?

Well, the worst case scenario is I burn a bridge with a guy I don't know. Exactly. But the best case scenario is he's like, yeah, I do hate it. I reckon pick the likeliest target of someone who could potentially be hating it. But you know what I really should do? I should just appreciate that people are doing nice things for their family and each other and just smile and go along with it. That's what a normal, decent person would do.

Right. Yeah. Or go on a podcast that hundreds of thousands of people listen to and complain. Yeah. Complain on a podcast that hundreds of thousands of people listen to and complain. Yeah. And complain about them by name. But no, the people that work there are great. They're getting a very lovely gift basket, Mason, with a lot of wine in it at the end of the year.

Let me tell you that much. Hello. Yeah, they're the best. Wow. Anyway, letters. It's time for letters. If you want to reach the show, hashtag WeeklyPlanetPod on Twitter or WeeklyPlanetPod at gmail.com. Mason, you got a bloody Gmail right there?

I get a letter. This is from Kevin fromplanetpod at gmail.com. Mason, you got a bloody Gmail right there? I get a letter. This is from Kevin from Ireland. Hi, gents. Do you think we'll ever see an expanded Bond universe? Yes. In theory, they could cast various 00 agents with people like Emily Blunt or Idris Elba, two of our options, without having to touch the Bond character, thereby giving these actors characters unique to them

and eventually do a team-up movie. Well, they were going to do it with the Jinx character from Diana they were hallie berry's character yeah that was that was a character that was a that was a backdoor pilot for jinx yes who has the rights to bond again i mean the broccoli family on production but who just is it sony that distributed yeah it is sony okay well sony you're all about shed university yeah exactly well so and sony i know this because for a really long time if whenever i went to the supermarket if i was going to buy a spindle of cdrs yeah the cdrs always had casino royale on top if you bought a spindle of cdrs you got a free copy of casino royale yes um i think it's a movie i don't think they will but i think they should

like i think this is i think this is a universe that has more to tell in it. Yes. I mean, the comics show that as well. Yeah. Well, that's the thing, because the comic books have Felix Leiter. Well, the comic books are based on the books, so the characters are slightly different, but there's a Miss Moneypenny spinoff.

Yes. I think there's an M spinoff now, and there is a... So, Bond's CIA pal Felix Le, has his own series as well. The new one might not be Sony. It's in flux. Sorry, anyway, sorry. Sorry, keep going. But I would love to see...

Because in the movies, we have Jeffrey Wright, who's from Westworld and a lot of other great stuff, as Felix Leiter, who's the... He's not the CIA equivalent of Bond, but he's like a... He knows a bunch of other great stuff as Felix Leiter, who is the, he's not the CIA equivalent of Bond, but he's like a, he's an, he knows some bunch of stuff, man. Yeah.

He's that guy. He's an information. He's an information guy. And he's like, he feels like a work. He feels like a, like a working man's like if, if Bond is like the rock star,

yeah. Like secret agent, Felix Leiter feels like the working man's uh he does he does the paperwork he does the paperwork and he sits in the van for a really long time he has to crunch numbers and exactly i i would love to see a movie set in that universe where maybe he has to go out again i don't i think we've mentioned this before about maybe another franchise but i would love to see that universe which is all big explosions and doomsday weapons and and cool gadgets yeah but just like the smaller scale version of that you're thinking of johnny english i think exactly i want

i want isn't there a third one coming yeah i got we got an invite to the to the melbourne to a melbourne maybe rowan atkinson will be there they never are no. No. One time, Alan Tudyk was there. Yeah, I remember that, yeah. But it was for a different movie. It was a different movie. But that looks terrible. That Johnny English 3 looks so atrocious. Anyway, I'll see you there. But I would like to...

Am I wrong in thinking that would be good? Just to see a small... No. Or are people only on board with the Bond movies because there's sexy ladies and explosions and whatever? I think you'd have to handle it. You'd have to... There'd be a way to do a small or no are people only on board with the bond movies because there's sexy ladies and explosions and whatever i think you'd have to handle it you have to there'd be a way to do it so it would make money but no i think that would be that could be good i think it's more interesting than say the the born spin-off universe yeah right where it's just analysts going where is he where is he behind that bus and wait he's gone again. Yeah, I think also because whoever distributed it,

it's the broccoli family that get the final say in what happens. Yes. And they keep a pretty tight leash on what's made. Right. So I think... Interesting, considering what's been made. What's been made. So I think, though they should do it, I agree,

I'm not sure whether we're going to get it any time soon. No. Yeah. Because I think there's, it's not a case of like, you know, if we see a Marvel movie, people go, oh, what about that Easter egg? Maybe that character's going to appear. And then there's the, I don't think people are like,

oh, that Felix Leiter, what's he get up to? Fwa. Fwa. Fwa. But I think they should. I think that'd be a good, solid, I don't know. And I would like to, again, I'd like to see this big glamorous world,

but what happens underneath? Yeah. Who's making those wheels turn, you know? Good question. Who's delivering the Aston Martin to Bond? Because it's just there. Like, they're like, hey, we've got a delivery for you. How do you get there?

You know? There's a guy. Yeah, there's a guy. What's that guy's deal? I guess he's the delivery guy. It's his job. Maybe he works for Aston Martin. Nah. Do you know there's a guy, I think his guy what's that guy's deal i guess he's a delivery guy it's his job it's for aston martin no because you know there's a guy i think his name's julian he listens to the show he's a he designed the aston the new aston martin did he really works for aston

martin he designed he listens to the podcast maybe he doesn't currently how do we get one yeah right do we get this one no one each yeah okay right one each yeah yeah i don't know but he listens to the show i believe it's julian. So hi, Julian, if you're listening. He had some design input on the last Transformers movie. Really? Because there was a pro... Because you know there's an Aston Martin in that movie, but you never see a Transform. Is that the one that Anthony Hopkins jumps out of

and then jumps in a different one? Yes. Okay, yeah. I don't remember what's what. But there was apparently like a prototype. Yeah. Cogsman or whatever that transforms in the Aston Martin. yes okay yeah I don't remember what's what but there's like a there was apparently like a prototype yeah Cogsman or whatever that transforms

in the Aston Martin and then they were like actually last minute he's not going to transform and they were all gutted yeah well yeah

fair enough that's all you want to see yeah I know things transform into other things yes here's a question

Mason's from John O'Sullivan on Twitter why The Last Man is such a great comic but I've always had mixed feelings about getting a TV

film adaptation because it could be awful they've recently started filming have you read it are you excited I did recently start reading it The Last Man is such a great comic, but I've always had mixed feelings about getting a TV film adaptation because it could be awful. They've recently started filming. Have you read it? Are you excited? I did recently start reading it. Yeah.

I think it could be very interesting. I am excited. I am excited. Here's the thing. I never finished it. Me neither. I was reading it as it was happening. And for whatever, I can't remember the reason, but maybe some new other shiny thing appeared.

Sometimes you catch up. Yeah. And then you stop. Yeah. Right. And then you're like, I'll wait for a few. And then it goes forever. And catch up and then you stop. Yeah, right? And then you're like, I'll wait for a few and then it goes forever. And then there's delays or something. Yeah, yeah.

I mean, Imogen... It's done though, isn't it? Yeah, it is done, yeah. So I don't know... So for anybody who doesn't know, the premise is that all the men in the world die except for one guy, Yorick, and his pet monkey, Ampersand.

Yes. And the premise is like, why did all the men die? What's going on? Why is he still alive? How is he going to navigate this world? Why the last man? Why the last? Oh, it's a question as well.

It's a question as well. Why the last man? Why the last man? Why the last man? And it sort of turns on its head kind of the trope of like, oh, man, if I was the only man left on Earth, whoa, thing it's like it's not about you anymore mate and it's a horrible thing to be yeah right yeah it's good so yes i am excited for it and also uh if they if it's bad they'll just reboot it as a tv series yeah for sure and which might be better yeah so yeah no i

think that i i like the cast from memory from who's in it because they were going to do it for years it was Shia LaBeouf and I'm like I don't know yeah right but now

yeah maybe cool man anything can be good yeah I got another one more tweet here from Ben Jennings

for my birthday today for my birthday today I ask this would the snap have killed half of the population of the planets that Thanos

has already visited if so that would mean a quarter of the population would remain alive. Hashtag weekly planet pod. What do you think? I think the answer is no. You think he can have that thought? I think because it's not a snap and it kills half the people in the universe.

I think because it's magic or whatever. The snap factors in everything he's thinking. Yeah, Right. Okay. Like, because it's, it can, it's a cosmic, it's a huge cosmic thing that, that is based on his desire and his want to do it.

Yes. I think the fact that he's like, I want half the population on every planet to survive and half to die, then that's what happens. So if he's already gone to a planet and he's done that, nothing happens. There you go. Fair enough.

Definitive answer. I think that is also the definitive answer. Yeah. And that's why this has been Weekly Planet Podcast episode 250. Thanks for listening. Wow. Congratulations to us. We did it.

It's good to be doing this. We talked about it. We're like, should we do anything special for the... We are going to do a superhero showdown. People have been asking for it. Yeah, that's right. And we will. It's just that we had to do a Predators episode before Predator.

We're going to have to do Spider-Man before Spider-Man. After Spider-Man. And then we've got Predator the following week. And I think after that, then hopefully we can do one. Nice. But yeah, we're definitely overdue for it. So we'll have to come up with a premise. Yes.

We need a fresh premise for Versus. A fremmus. A fremmus. If anybody's got a fremmus out there. Yeah. See your doctor. Could be infected but if you've got a premise for what we

could do the superhero showdown about that'd be great because we've done we've done a whole bunch of options yep we've done heroes versus heroes heroes versus villains villains versus

villains we've done what if scenarios what if scenarios we've done ultimatums I think we should do more ultimatums I like ultimatums as well so I'm sure we've had this

conversation so just listen back to the previous episodes yeah where we went we should do more ultimatums I like ultimatums as well so I'm sure we've had this conversation so just listen back to one of the previous episodes yeah where we went we'll do one soon but we will we'll do one soon nice

It's wild. Anyway, thanks everybody for listening. Thanks for subscribing. Thanks for telling people about it. That's how we've gotten to 250 episodes. Because if people weren't listening, we would have quit a long time ago. Yeah. Wouldn't we have?

We'd still have the conversation. Yeah, I don't think. We just wouldn't. What we'd do is we'd still have the conversations and we'd still play the terrible video games. And we'd still get sponsorship. Yeah, exactly. But we wouldn't record it. Yeah.

So, yeah. That's probably... Well, that's what we did before this. So, yeah, you're probably right. We'd just open the window and we'd scream, Movement Watchers! Get $50 off! Yeah, we'd do that.
