Welcome everybody to another episode of the Weekly Planet, official podcast of ComicBookMovie.com. My name is James, also Mr. Sunday. With me as always is my co-host, Nick Mason. That was real breezy. Well, I just get into it. Yeah. We're choked down with shout-outs, so I've got to burn through everything and then get to it. Okay, so we'll just skim everything, and then we'll get to shout-outs at the end. We'll do, for like, 48 minutes of shout-outs.

Exactly. Okay, good. We're really going to do something about the shout-outs. As much as I like them, and you know I do, they're taking up a lot of the episode time. You know what we should do? Yeah. An additional episode every week that's just shout-outs that you can record and edit. I won't be here.

I've got stuff to do. But you don't have anything to do. What do you do in your spare time? You make a handmade pasta? What are you doing? What are you up to? Yeah. I'm Enigma.

You're Enigma. I'm an Enigma. Oh, you're an Echidna. Yeah, I'm an Echidna. Okay. Yeah, I'm always rolling up into a ball in a threatening manner. I've got spines. Yep, yep. Cool. Let's get into the show, Echidna. Yeah, I'm an Echidna. Okay. Yeah, I'm always rolling up into a ball in a threatening manner. I've got spines.

Yep, yep. Cool. Let's get into the show, Echidna. Okay. Let's do it. All right, but if one of these is too scary, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to roll up. There's going to be spines.

Game of Thrones, Mason. Yes. You're familiar with the show. Vaguely. Now, you're not up to date on Game of Thrones, is that right? I have three episodes into season one. Wow. And that was many years ago, so I've forgotten what happened.

There was some incest, I think. There was. Great. That carries on. Okay, sure. Just so you know. Okay, good. Spoiler alert.

But now there's dragons. Now there's dragons, that's right. George R.R. Martin, you know, he's the creator of Game of Thrones. Yes. Or the song of Fire and Ice book series, which became Game of Thrones. I thought for a second that you were going to say a song. Yeah, he created a song that became the Game of Thrones franchise I thought for a second you were just going to say a song. Yeah, he created a song that became the Game of Thrones franchise.

Great though. Yeah, that's it. He said that the best way to cap off the series... You know what's great about Led Zeppelin? And by great I mean kind of annoying is they have a lot of songs that are quite... like they're very rockin' and then all of a sudden

they start talking about Mordor or like travelling through a forest with elves and you're like, oh, you ruined it, Led Zeppelin. Or do they make it better? No. I thought you'd think they're alienating fans.

What do you mean? Or just people. I mean, not anymore. No. It's been a lot of years. It's been too many years. I'm sorry, continue with your news. That's fine.

Basically, he said the best way to cap off the Game of Thrones series, which could run for anywhere between, he reckons, like six to ten series. You end it with a big cinema movie, a cinematic $100 million movie experience,

just like they did in Sex and the City. What do you think, Mason? Well, that worked out really well, didn't it? Yeah, so that movie did make a lot of money. But his reason being the scale gets bigger, and you see that in every series, that they get a little bit more money in the budget, and CGI gets a little bit better.

The CGI dragons in it look incredible. Especially considering their TV drag. Like TV. Oh yeah yeah yeah. Because when I think. I've seen a lot of

animated GIFs of them and they look pretty good. A lot of Tumblr posts about women and dragons. And I'm like pretty good friends.

I've still got from in my mind TV CGI is still stuck in the 90s when. Remember that show another oh not another earth earth 2 yeah when they went to earth 2 yeah and all the show sliders with all the cgi that that's what i think what i think tv cgi yeah it's come a long way though just a lot of distortion effect yeah that's right yeah yeah yeah okay it's exactly right it has come a long way yeah so would

you be happy to see that bearing in mind you you're not up to date on the show what I what I would like is it to have a slow decline and then lose a lot of ratings and then the fans demand it and

there's a kickstarter campaign and they they bring it back that way and then it's kind of okay ish like Veronica Mars yes

I haven't watched the whole thing no other new movie you're talking about it's pretty good oh yeah I want you're talking about it's pretty good oh yeah I want to get into that it's fine

but it does feel very forced no it just feels like an extended TV episode okay yeah well I guess that's but all your favourites are back I don't know anything

about the show his he's back Mac Veronica and Mars yes nice you better believe it

yeah she's good in House of Lies yeah okay no no that's a show that's too in love with Lies. Yeah, okay. No? No. That's a show that's too in love with itself.

It is in love with itself, yeah. But it's got the cheats. And I love the cheats. Well, moving on then. Did we get to that piece of news? Or did I derail it before you got to the news? No, we got there. We came back and forth, but I think we covered it. There's some Batman vs. Superman rumors this week.

Hang on, what do you think about that? I love it. I think it's a great idea. You know what? The only issue with it being, I think they might fall into the trap of, but they probably won't do that because they're smart enough where they recap a bunch of stuff in the movie for people who haven't seen the show. Right, exactly.

And then... And I don't want that. And then it's like an hour of new content. Yeah. Yeah, okay. That's it. That's what I don't want. How much does an episode of Game of Thrones cost to make?

I think it's $4.4 billion. Huh. So this is a step down, ultimately That's what I don't want. How much does an episode of Game of Thrones cost to make? I think it's $4.4 billion. Huh. So this is a step down, ultimately. No, I don't know. It's in the high hundreds of thousands, I'd imagine. Minimum. If not millions. It's got to be millions.

Yeah. Well, that's why they only do 10 a season. Yeah. Yeah. There you go. Apparently, and we probably mentioned this as well, apparently the reason that HBObo has so much money yeah is because people get it for something and then they never unsubscribe like they'll get it

for like sex and they're like our sex in the city this is a new series and then they subscribe to hbo and then they just even if there's nothing else that they ever want to watch on hbo they just never cancel the subscription and so people just have it for like a decade. It just piles up. That's why they have all the money. It's like my virus software on my computer. It just takes it out of my account every year. And I'm just like, yep, fine.

I probably have three gold at once. I don't even know. Yeah, there you go. I learned something. And you learned something. No. Wait. Yes.

There's Batman vs. Superman rumors this week mason good now bear in mind so rumors not news yes okay there's never there's never news it's a really good point yeah uh basically there's a list of stuff that came through our movie pilot the website uh-huh there's a guy on there actually um i got in contact with twitter he's a real pilot yep but in his spare his spare time, he makes videos for Movie Pilot. His name is... He does these things called Will's War. Uh-huh. And they're really good.

Check him out. He's a YouTube guy also, like me, except he's way better. So check it out. So your recommendation... He got Tom Hiddleston. Ooh. Yeah. We could get Tom Hiddleston.

No, we couldn't. No, we couldn't. But if he lived here and he didn't have a lot to do and he was real dumb and easily tricked. We could get him in here, into this windowless box that we'd do this podcast in. This cupboard. And we'd ask him invasive questions for upwards of three minutes until he got upset and he left. Think positive, that's what I say. You're right, you're right.

We could get him. But yeah, check out Will's War though. They said do. It's really good. Basically, courtesy of that website, though, a bunch of Batman versus Superman rumours, a lot of people saying these aren't true. I'm going to throw them open to you and see what you think.

Okay. First one is Batman will be 40 years old and retired. We kind of had a rough idea of that before. Okay, yeah, that's fine. Except for several details, the events in the Nolanverse are going to be canon. I don't know if I like that. Do you want to hear some of the stuff that they say won't be canon?

The goatee that he has in Dark Knight Rises? Yes, that will not be canon. Okay, great, yep. Now, Talia al Ghul's involvement in Bane's plot won't be canon. Bane's death also won't be canon. So it's not any of the Nolanverse. None of that be canon. Bane's death also won't be canon. So it's not. It's not any of the Nolan verse.

None of that is canon. Except for that part. Yeah. But you know what would be weird because it also says in here that he's been retired for seven years. But that means

he came out when he was he quit when he was 33. Yeah. But also you've got to remember though he also retired seven years before that.

Right. So he's retired twice for seven years. Right, right, right. And the first time he retired in his 20s. Yeah. Yeah, so that makes sense. I don't buy Christian Bale in his 20s ever. Yep.

He's always been in his late 30s somehow. Yep. Okay. Who cares if Bane dies? It's fine. Yeah. Also, Nolan Batman is not prepared for anything like supernatural

or superpower. No, he's not. He would be. He's not prepared for anything at any point. Yeah, exactly. Remember when

Catwoman tripped him over at a time in his mansion? He was in his home. She tripped him right up. Knocked his stick out of the way. You know what's a little bit worse than that?

Heat vision to the face and or balls. Do you reckon Superman could split his heat vision so his eyes could look in two different places? Definitely. Yeah, cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Awesome.

Well, he's in some serious trouble there. Yeah. Especially his balls. Yeah. Yeah. It also says that after the events of The Dark Knight Rises, Batfleck, it says Batfleck on it, retired to rebuild Gotham.

Robin, Not played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt Obviously He becomes Nightwing Yep And in addition In addition to that

There's going to be The Bat family in it So A bunch of others But also Robin in it I'm assuming Tim

Not Tim Drake Robin Who's the one that died? Jason Todd Jason Todd Was killed by the Joker Who escaped During Bane's big plot

Where Bane maybe had an earthquake machine Or a bomb, I can't remember I don't like any of these rumors And also that's going to lead into a Red Hood solo film So there you go That sounds very much like a Winter Soldier cash-in Yes, it does Is it called the Red Hood colon the Winter Soldier cash-in?

Yes Great It also says that Bruce Wayne has been publicly financing Batman Yes, it does. Is it called The Red Hood colon The Winter Soldier cash-in? Yes. Great. It also says that Bruce Wayne has been publicly financing Batman, and Batman's like a hero of the city. So by day, everyone loves Bruce Wayne because he's a man of the people, and by night, everyone loves Batman. But the authorities, they don't like that because he's making them look quite the fools.

Yep. And so I'm assuming that's how Superman gets involved. So yeah, what do you think of that? I'm against all of I'm assuming that's how Superman gets involved. So yeah. What do you think of that? I'm against all of it. I hope this movie never gets made. Well, you've got to remember

there's a good chance that none of this is true. That's true. Or there's a good chance all of it's true. You decide, listeners. Maybe somewhere in the middle? Yes.

Or just one or the other? No, can't decide. Not in the middle. We don't do that. No. Yeah. It's either all these rumors are true or nothing is true.

That's exactly it. Also, it says Batflecker takes his time to research every single detail he can about Superman. I'm assuming for when they show down. But he would do that, wouldn't he? Yeah. Because he wouldn't just be like- It doesn't need to be said, Rubber Mill. I know.

Yeah. God. He's not going to be like, you know what? I'm just going to wing this. Yeah. See how I go. Yeah. I'll just throw some stuff.

I've got heaps of stuff in this belt. I'll just throw some stuff until one of them works. Yeah. See how I go. Yeah. I'll just throw some stuff. I've got heaps of stuff in this belt. I'll just throw some stuff until one of them works. Yeah. So there you go. Also, he's also working with Lexcorp as well, because they're going to rebuild Metropolis and whatever, because they're both like, we're billionaires, but one of us is evil. Bah, bah, bah. You know?

Yeah. Okay. Moving on, Mason. There's more here, but I'm just looking now, and I'm like, you know what? It's not that interesting. I'll just skip over it. Mackenzie Mustache News, Mason. Oh's more here, but I'm just looking now, and I'm like, you know what? It's not that interesting. I'll just skip over it. Mackenzie Mustache News, Mason. Ah, we were defeated.

We were. Certainly not for the first or the last time. Or lack of trying. Yeah. Thank you to everyone who contributed. If I contributed, I mean harassed the star of an upcoming television series. Thank you to everyone. That was really nice.

He never flinched, to his credit, Ben McKenzie. That's true. That being said, he is now our sworn enemy. Yeah. Because, as we know, so on-set photos appeared. Yes. He's running across a rooftop. Completely moustacheless. He's wearing the outfits. He's wearing the trench coat and the badge and the gun. Yeah. But no moustache. People aren't happy.

But I think, and somebody sent this in. I can't remember who. Oh, I feel really bad now if I get I'll remember if I get to it that basically we shouldn't feel bad because like Arrow

maybe they're going to build into it yeah he'll evolve he'll evolve into it exactly I'll find out who that is though during the show okay good send a really nice email

about that yeah there's also we also saw pictures of young Bruce Wayne and Catwoman who's like 14 or whatever and Oswald Cobblepot.

All of these people look dead on except Gordon. Yeah, that's interesting, isn't it? So there you go. But I think you know what it is. They want a recognisable face. So people who loved Ben McKenzie when OC was on or whatever will go, I remember that guy. Look at him.

He's great. And then they'll come to the show. So you get the Batman fans regardless. Yes. But he'll bring in a different set of fans people who like the oc yes 10 years ago yes great he was also in that what southland tales which i've never seen is that a movie i think it's a movie or a show yeah right good well that's good promotion yeah but i fans of something that they don't quite know what it was. I'll bring those fans in. Yeah.

So there you go. Oh, look, it's a loss, but at the same time, it's not like we didn't try. That's true. And that's the most important thing. But it would have been more important and better if we had won that battle. I think so, yeah. And he'd been holding a piece of cardboard that said, you win. Hashtag Mackenzie Mustache.

Hashtag defeat. Yes. Yeah. Okay Mackenzie Mustache. Hashtag defeat. Yes. Okay. So, yeah. We need another. We need something else to, you know, someone else to attack on Twitter. So, you know, things will come up in the future. Absolutely.

I hope so. We'll find an easy target. We need direction, Mason. We need a goal. We need a nemesis. Yeah, we do. Yeah, we do. I'm just going to call out another podcast.

How about that? Yeah, sounds good. Actually, I've got an email about that, but we'll talk about that later, Mason. Okay, cool. Okay. Now, you're not going to be happy about this. We'll see about that. Maybe I'll be really happy.

Maybe just to be contrary, I'll be real happy about this. In fact, I dedicate this next thing. I'm going to be real happy about it. Did you know, Mason? Yes. You know the fifth Pirates of the Caribbean movie? Has there been one? They're going to be real happy about it did you know Mason yes you know the 5th Pirates of the Caribbean movie has there been one

they're going to make it ok good I'm happy about that but one of the producers at Disney or something came out and said you know what that film's in doubt

it hasn't been greenlit it might not happen is that the news yes oh I'm happy about that good yeah because you're a big fan

of the Pirates films in particular part 2 no 3 no 4 no 5 not out yet yeah Good. Yeah. Okay. Because you're a big fan of the Pirates films. In particular, part two? No. Three? No. Four?

No. Five? Not out yet. Yeah. So, yeah. This doesn't come as a surprise to me. I think just drop the Pirates franchise. We're done with it.

Was Johnny Depp in the last one? He was, yeah. I've asked that before. I'm sure you have, yeah. The fourth one, I couldn't remember whether or not I'd seen the fourth one. And then I realized I'd reviewed it. So I had seen it. Right. And I'd reviewed it.

And it still completely blanked out of my mind. We talked about it the other week because what's her name? Penelope Cruz, whose sister was her body double. That's right. So there you go. So I think it's one of those things where you haven't made consistently good enough films. Yes. Better movies have come along since and franchises that people are more interested in you got star wars

coming back you got all the comics movies coming out and whatever just drop it let it go i think there's pirate television there's i think there's two pirate television shows running concurrently at the moment like it's drop it i think and also i think if if your content is so homogenous that people can't remember whether they've seen it or not, and it turns out they did and they watched it intently so they could review it, maybe quit. Maybe quit. Yeah.

That's it. We got some marks. I mean, reboot in a couple of years. Yeah, sure. Who could be... You know who they should get instead of Johnny Depp? That guy who's in Girls that everybody loves for everything. Yes.

That guy. What's his name? I was going to say Skeet Aldrich. Oh, yeah. Skeet Aldrich. The poor man's Johnny Depp. That guy who's in Girls that everybody loves for everything. Yes, that's right. I was going to say Skeet Aldrich. Oh yeah, Skeet Aldrich. The poor man's Johnny Depp. Absolutely. Alright, Star Wars Newsmason. It's been confirmed. If you were wondering when the new Star Wars film was going to take place, the answer is the modern day. No, the answer is 30 years after Return of the Jedi. Oh. Which is the rough timeline. Of the real world? Yes.

Exactly. A little bit longer. Jedi came out in 83, and this will come out in 2015. So it's really, it'll be 32 years. But who's counting, Mason? I am. A lot of people are. Yes. A lot of people are counting exactly.

Yes. Did you know in the expanded Star Wars universe, the humanoid characters in it? Yes. And I only found this out recently, because I've read every expanded universe novel. You know that. I know you have. I'm just burning my way through them. Yeah. Mostly terrible. I haven't characters in it. Yes. And I only found this out recently because I've read every Expanded Universe novel. You know that. I know you have. I just burn them all the way through. Yeah.

Mostly terrible. I haven't really read it. You know I haven't read all of them. Though you accuse me of reading them all. You have. I haven't. No, you have though. You're right.

All the humans in that though, they age slowly. So they've got a longer lifespan. Not by much, but they've got a longer lifespan than regular humans. Interesting. But I don't think this is going to be the case, though. Because have you seen a lot of the cast lately? Yes. They've had 30 years of...

But then some of them had some surgery. That's true, yeah. You're talking Harrison Ford? I couldn't possibly comment. Probably. I don't know. He certainly had some earring implants. He sure has.

No, okay. probably i don't know he certainly had some earring implants no okay well that that that is good that is good news because they've they've come at this realistically yeah like okay well if we do have to include all these original cast members let's not try and euthyfy them because it's not gonna work that's exactly all the skateboards we want it's not gonna all the backwards hats yeah but yeah you're right fix anything all the skateboards we want. It's not going to... All the backwards hats. Yeah. But yeah, you're right. It's not going to fix anything. All the chain that connects to your wallet, but it goes down your leg. Yeah. So kudos for that.

Are they still going to... Are they going to be main characters? We don't know yet. Well, what's been said, apparently the script writer who they got rid of, Michael Ardent, who wrote Toy Story 3, his original focus was on the Han Solo's kids, I believe. Yep. And the main characters from the Jason Solo.

Maybe two more. Frederick Solo. Frederick Solo. Donovan Solo. No, their names are Jason, I think there's a There's an Anakin Solo I think. There is. Yeah, and there's another one. Something. There's a girl. There's a girl one. Girl one. But I think only one's alive now

well none of them are alive now that was a long time ago in a galaxy far far away couldn't pull it so unless their lifespan is real long probably dead now sorry mate

sorry to break it to you but yeah so originally it was going to be focusing on new characters but then Lawrence Kasdan who wrote Return of the Jedi and also directed Dreamcatcher

our favourite movie sure him and J.J. Abrams stepped in and they've retooled it, so apparently the first movie will focus very much on the three original characters, which I think is a massive mistake. Yeah. Have him there. Yeah. Don't get me wrong, but that, come on. Although, Christopher Lee did put in an amazing performance as Dooku, didn't he?

He was pretty sprightly. He sure was. Christopher Lee, I think they had him for one day for, what was that movie called? The last one. Revenge of the Sith. Yep. And all the sword fighting. They've obviously just CGI'd his head onto another guy.

Uh-huh. So basically, Christopher Lee had like three lines, CGI lightsaber fight, and then cut his head off, and that was it. Huh. So, yeah. Is Christopher Lee dead? That's a really good question. No idea.

No, we'd know. Yeah, we would, yeah. We'd see tweets about it. Yeah. I like that guy, though. What a Lee dead? That's a really good question. No idea. No, we'd know. Yeah, we would, yeah. We would have seen tweets about it. Yeah. I like that guy, though. What a history. You know what? Preemptively, we miss him.

Yeah, we do. If he went... We got him first. We got him first, guys. We miss him. He was great and stuff. Yeah. Daff Williams, Mason, wrote in.

Yes. Friend of the show, Daff Williams. I'm going to call him friend of the show. Yep. Because he said nice things. I'm going to call him Daffy Duck. Because he's probably never heard that before. I bet going to call him friend of the show. Yep. Because he said nice things. I'm going to call him Daffy Duck because he's probably never heard that before. I bet he hasn't. Yeah. He wants to know what we thought of the Avengers Age of Ultron concept art

that was on that show. Because you know, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. wasn't on this week. I don't know if you noticed Mason because it would have been a massive hole in your life. There was a hole in my heart and in my life. Yeah. Yeah. It's the sadness, you know. Yeah. I know. What am I missing yeah now you know yeah but they replaced it with a one off special called Marvel Cinematic

something assembling something a Marvel Universe something and they took colon marvelous exclamation mark

and they took us through a journey if you will so come with me on this journey okay through the Marvel Cinematic Universe

from its early conceptions okay up until the sneak peek at Age of ultron and they showed a little bit of the new ant-man footage as well you know that test footage that's really hard to get that you put in all your videos yeah yeah that's it it's pretty good yeah well it's all i've got though it's all i've got to go on anyone's got yeah it's all it's all right so yeah and basically we we saw you know a bit of guardians bit of this bit of that but the Age of Ultron stuff I think was the most interesting

yes so we got our first look at Quicksilver who looks kind of just a guy yeah he does he certainly looks like a guy doesn't he

well he's blue and whatever yeah and he doesn't have silver hair which is fine he's got up hair so that's good that's true yeah

but he looks infinitely better than the X-Men it's kind of a Hawkeye style costume though there's nothing interesting about it. Yeah. It's not even sleeveless. It's got sleeves.

What the hell, man? They could have incorporated some sort of textury lightning bolt into the front, maybe? Maybe it's on the back. Oh, no. Maybe it's on the front. Maybe it's when he runs really quick, it appears. Oh.

Yeah, what do you think of that? Oh, it's pretty good. I also saw Scarlet Witch. She looked very much in regular clothes, though quick it appears. Oh. Yeah. What do you think of that? It's pretty good. I also saw Scarlet Witch. She looked very much in regular clothes though. No costume. Maybe she'll get a costume in it. Maybe it's kind of they intervene at the halfway point of the film. And they're not S.H.I.E.L.D. agents or whatever.

They're just... They're bystanders that become part of that. There is rumours of how they're involved. I can tell you if you want. Please. I'd love more spoilers. Because you know how they're working for the that become part of that. There is rumors of how they're involved. I can tell you if you want. Please. I'd love more spoilers. Because you know, they're working for the Brotherhood of Mutants in the X-Men comics, in the Marvel comics, sorry.

Because they can't do that because that's owned by, mutants are owned by Fox. Right. And in real life, they have a whole lot of cages of them. That doesn't surprise me at all. I don't want to get into it. But basically, leave them there. Leave them there to rot, I say. So they're going to be working for Baron von Strucker.

Okay. Who's a Hydra agent, I believe. Is that right? And at the start of the film... Well, he's more... He's more... It doesn't matter. Well, whatever.

Yeah. But he's a Nazi, isn't he? Well, he was a Nazi. I mean, he's certainly got Nazi tendencies. Real nasty tendencies, I say. Yeah, that's right. And then they switch sides for whatever reason. That's the rumour.

Whether that turns out to be true or not. Yeah, yeah. You think they'd have Sweet Aime uniforms then? Yeah, you would. Or is she doing her regular clothes? Maybe she's undercovers. Good point. Yeah.

I like Elizabeth Olsen. She's great. She's also in the upcoming Godzilla movie, which we will be talking about today. Yeah, yeah. And she was also an Aaron Taylor Thompson, Jonathan Taylor Thompson, whatever his name is, whose Quicksilver is also in Godzilla. Huh. So there you go.

Think of that. I will think of that. All right. So is Elizabeth Olsen the... She's the other Olsen. She's the third Olsen. She's the good-looking one. The third Olsen.

Who's younger and infinitely better. And a better actor. Yeah. Okay, great. Yeah. Fantastic. Who doesn't look like a Halloween costume

fantastic yeah they look like don't you reckon the Olsen twins look like Halloween skeleton costumes I could not possibly comment also they are billionaires and I would like to be friends with them

fair enough and have some of their billions of dollars that's how that works yeah the big thing though which people did not expect including myself

though there were rumours of it that we saw the Hulkbuster armour. We did see that, yeah. That blew my mind. You? Yes. Yeah. But they're going to have to contrive a scenario where he's fighting the Hulk.

I'm okay with that. Alright then. I think that they're currently filming that in South Africa, I believe, that particular scene. It might be they're sparring. Sure. You know? Yeah.

It could be. It could be. i don't really care i'm really happy we get to see it though because remember they sort of there was that eagle suit from iron man 3 yeah which people thought including myself that that's the hulk buster armor right which it obviously didn't turn out to be but that armor couldn't go up against the hulk that was a i think that was for like um using to use during earthquakes to like support whatever but this is like a proper Hulkbuster armour. Because it's red. Because it's red, yeah. Looks incredible. I cannot wait.

The thing about Joss Whedon is, aside from having a really big head, he really knows what people want in these movies. That's true. And he delivers it. Yeah. Genuinely speaking. You know what would be good, and by good I mean it would amuse only me, is that in the Ultimate Universe

Ultimate War Machine like his armour transforms into a sports car I would really like the Hulkbuster armour to transform from a sports car do you think that would be great?

that would be the best that would irritate a lot of people yeah and enjoy it a lot yeah absolutely so yeah but he's good at

I mean we want to see these guys fight don't we we want to see who would win like pitting certain heroes against other heroes I guess so I'm afraid of CGI battles

as we know they're not good they don't look good but I hold that hope if anybody can do it it's Marvel Studios I think so

you're right absolutely Mason you're dead on the Hulkbuster armor now my understanding of that is it's got a lot of strength and what not but at

to the detriment of speed and whatnot, but to the detriment of speed and mobility. Is that right? Yeah. Sounds about right. Yeah. I don't know. That makes sense.

Just throwing things out there, Mason. Just throwing things out there. Interestingly enough, Mason, Fox, the other Marvel studio who own X-Men and Fantastic Four, came out with some dates for some upcoming movies. Okay. Fantastic Four 2 is going to be coming 2017. Assuming they don't throw out the script and the cast and the director again. Yes.

Or it's on track. I guess studios work, they're like, okay, it's got to come out by this date no matter what. Yeah. Well, that's right. They have to or they have to give it back. Right. Okay. So they're planning ahead, I guess.

Uh-huh. They've also said The Wolverine 3 that same year, 2017. Yep. People forget that Wolverine Origins is a Wolverine movie. So The Wolverine 3, that same year, 2017. Yep. People forget that Wolverine Origins is a Wolverine movie. So it is the third one. It is, yep. So Hugh Jackman, I guess, is hanging around for that, I assume. Hopefully.

Because we liked The Wolverine, didn't we? Yeah, it was good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it was nice. It was a nice little fun film. It sure was. We all had a good bit of fun.

There was also a mystery project announced for 2018. We don't know what it is. Any speculate? Do you want to guess or do you want me to speculate? Well, based on the properties they own, I'm going to say it's Fantastic Four versus X-Men. That is a rumor, yes. This is their really, really cheap attempt to do Superman, Batman. They're like, what do we have?

Let's put them together, I suppose. What are the two things we have? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Well, there's also rumours of an X-Force movie okay or a Deadpool movie

which are also in the works so yeah I think they shouldn't do a Deadpool movie I'm okay with Deadpool he's a good enough character but I think you'd be

smarter to do an X-Force see how he plays then do a Deadpool movie that's how I would do it if I was a studio head which if this podcast goes really well, one day, you know? Yeah, I mean, next week, probably. So, yeah.

What do you think of that, Mason? That's how Michael Bay started. Podcasts. Did he? Yeah. It was just the sound of explosions over and over again. What a dickhead. Okay.

I think that's pretty much all the news for this week, Mason, because we're going to get into the topic for this week. But before then, we, the other day, recorded a commentary track. I have no memory of this. It happened on Friday. Okay, sure, yeah. For the Captain America The First Avenger. Yes.

We were going to do The Amazing Spider-Man, but the thinking was, well, we're going to do two in spider-man but the the thinking was we're gonna do two in a day and that's impossible to do because it was really exhausting for some reason some reason talking while watching a movie is really difficult but also this is kind of our warm-up one to do that i guess as well because i listened to it mason it's not great it's fine why are you even mentioning it then no it's all right it's fine but basically people do want to download that we put it up on bandcamp so if you go to the weeklyplanet.bandcamp. No, it's alright. It's fine. But basically, if people do want to download that, we put it up on Bandcamp. So if you go to

theweeklyplanet.bandcamp.com or it will be up by then, you can download this commentary track for Captain America the First Avenger. Now, the idea is we put it up...

Have we settled on that URL? Yeah, it's done. Okay, good. Should I have done Weekly Planet Pod? Probably. Really?

It's too late now, though. No, it's better. Weekly Planet. Alright, fine. Is it not? I did consider ringing you but then I didn't. It's good because I do not like, fine. I did consider ringing you, but then I didn't. It's good, because I do not like telephone calls.

I can always change it, I guess. But no, at the moment, theweeklyplanet.bandcamp.com. You can download it for free, because we put it at $0. But how it works is apparently only the first 200 are free. It's not like... So getting quick. Getting quick. It's not like, though, anybody's got... Free stuff on the internet, are free. It's not like... So getting quick. Getting quick. It's not like though

anybody's got... Free stuff on the internet getting quick. I don't think we want to get over 200 anyway to be honest. But basically beyond that point

I think you might have to pay a certain amount of money. It might be a dollar or something. But also if you don't want to pay there are sites where you can get around this

and download it for free. So feel free to download it for free. We have no problem with that at all right mason absolutely it's incredibly offensive to our creative artistic integrity of saying stuff while another thing happens yes sure but also there is a donate there button there if you wanted to donate to put in some money and all that if you wanted to do this do not feel pressured if you're a student or you've got a family or for any reason you don't want to do it

yeah do not feel pressure don't like us yes you listen every student or you've got a family or for any reason you don't want to do it. Do not feel pressured. You don't like us. Yes. You listen every week, but you don't like us for some reason. That would make sense. You hate listening. Yeah, exactly. That money would basically go towards keeping the show on the podcast website hosting.

Absolutely. Because it costs, what is it like? A couple of bucks. Yeah. Is it 20 bucks a month or something like that? Whatever it is. But you know what it does do is it keeps it keeps the lights on in here this windowless suffocating room so tell you what if you don't like us and you want to trap me specifically in

this room week after week forever then chug in a couple of bucks do it and then i'll be trapped that's it so yeah look if you want again, we completely understand if you don't. Because as I said, it's okay. It's an okay commentary track, but we're going to do another one. We thought we'd do that one first also because Winter Soldier's coming out soon. And then we'll do Amazing Spider-Man, which Mason's excited for because he hasn't seen it. And a lot of people, that's been a lot of requests, Mason. I'd say I've had at least 50 email Twitter things.

People asking for this specifically to hear your thoughts i have no 50 people in real life that's amazing so yeah uh the weekly uh the weekly planet.bandcamp.com download it for free or not it's entirely up to you yeah yeah yeah yeah they'd send us hate mail yeah yeah so there you go now mason this episode was fun to record i enjoyed that but again it's they're really they're tough to do it is because yeah when we did it there's a much respect to whoever makes them yeah absolutely riff tracks yeah yeah although you know it's all right it's fine yeah um it's completely fine because i had to watch it again i had to listen to it again while watching the movie so it was a really bizarre experience listening to me and

you talk about a movie while watching a movie. You should have commentated over the top of that. Yeah. Second commentary track. Just layers upon layers. But yeah. Really critical of yourself.

Yeah. So yeah. Check it out or don't. Yeah. Mason. Yes, hello. This week, we're going to talk about the movies upcoming between April and June. Great.

So the big blockbusters of the season. Okay, good. Because the last one we did of these, the last the last movie preview yeah there was a lot of crap well i've got a um a lot of nothing films well i've got a question for you though yes this year in film uh-huh what have been your personal highlights or lowlights oh i mean obviously you've got those hair highlights which are delightful good choice i got a i got a sick fade along the sides. I've got some frosted tips.

It's pretty great. Are we talking about hair? We are, yeah, yeah. What happened? Okay. We got Robocop. You didn't mind Robocop. I thought, yeah, that was a highlight.

I enjoyed that. We got 300, Rise of a Robocop. That was mid-light. Yeah. I was pleasantly not tired and hateful. Yeah, fair enough. It was fine. We we got jack ryan shadow recrut didn't say it okay i was gonna say we got we i don't think the lego movie has been released

here but i think the big success story mason has been the lego movie right from that period everything else people like it's fine whatever uh but the lego movie has been yeah really successful i can't wait to see it quite frankly also. Also, the directors behind the Lego movie, they look like they'll be taking over for Ghostbusters 3 from Ivan Reitman. Interesting. Who stepped down. So, yeah, there you go. So, no particular highlights, I guess. Probably Robocop, I guess.

Yeah, Robocop's probably there. Yeah. Give me one of your highlights. I'd say also Robocop. Okay. Yeah. What else? You've reviewed all the movies.

I've reviewed very little. I can check just quickly if you want. Yeah, please do. All right. I'm just going to go onto my YouTube channel because i can't remember a goddamn thing so all highlights basically is what you're saying uh yeah i did robocop i did 300 yeah i think that's it so two movies came out well that's all i reviewed now there was more than that i was going to do other ones but i was like you know what i don't really want to go and see jack ryan shadow recruit right

so you know yeah that was. I only did those two. I imagine there was some confusion about some secret files. Probably a file and then a betrayal. There was probably a double cross. There was probably a double cross. There's probably his wife doesn't understand. Yep. And then she's being bundled into a car and he's running after her.

He's doing one of those runs where the arms go all the way up. You know, bendy elbows. He's doing one of those and maybe he's... He can't shoot because she's in the car. That's right. Yeah, yeah. But then maybe there's a gantry. Maybe he's got one friend he can turn to.

Yeah, but then maybe he can't turn to them. But then maybe he can turn to them in the end in a pinch. Maybe Jack Black's in it. Yeah, that'd be amazing. Okay, well that's... It's like we did see Jack Ryan's Shadow Recruits. It is. Tell you what, we'll watch it this week.

Next week, a whole episode dedicated to Jack Ryan's Shadow Recruits. Right. Done? Fantastic. Yeah. Okay. Now Mason, we're going to go through the movies. There's some exciting ones coming up.

I'm going to do them in order. Now I haven't got the exact dates here because it varies from whatever country you're at. I was trying to think that instead of doing that we would um we would review the porn parody version of it but i couldn't think of a i couldn't think of a version like quickly enough it was it was just gonna be jack jack right that's not even that's not even clever that's really clever it's not that's not is it okay now basically for each movie they mason i've put in one piece of trivia from an official website or from IMDB. And another piece of trivia, which I have added myself or made up.

And you have to distinguish, Mason, which is which. I love these little party games. I know, right? Yeah. So here we go. We're going to start with Captain America, the Winter Soldier. The reviews so far have been outstanding for this. I think I'm seeing it next Sunday night.

Not this Sunday. Next Sunday. Yeah. Not today Sunday, which is when we're recording it next Sunday. Okay. Yeah. So I'll definitely do a review of that. But no, it's looking good, Mason. What do you think of the Winter Soldiering? Good. Yeah. Yeah. I think we've covered this one. Yeah, we have. But it looks, it does

look great. I'm excited. I think it's on 69% of Rotten Tomatoes at the moment. There's your porn parody right there. And yeah, I think it's going to be great. That's all I have to say about that. This is going real well. High quality. Yeah.

High quality. It's a Marvel Studios production. That's it. It's got to be good, right? $170 million budget. And of course, this estimated, and this is going to lead into Captain America 3, which is going to go up against Batman v Superman. I wish it was going to lead to Captain America 4.

Like they skipped 3. Straight into it. Yeah. You know what the funny thing is, Arby? We figure you pretty much know what's going to happen in Captain America 3. You get it. You get it. There's going to be, somebody's going to get bundled into a car, you know?

His wife's not going to understand him. It's going to be a gantry. Maybe he's got a friend he can turn to. The Falcon. Yeah. Yeah to be a gantry. Maybe he's got a friend he can turn to. The Falcon. Yeah. Yeah. So there you go. But yeah, the thing is, though, Captain America will become a big property, I'm assuming,

after this. Yes. So even if it doesn't beat Batman vs. Superman at the box office, it'll still do pretty well regardless. Because I don't think Marvel's strategy will be to to top Batman vs Superman I think best case scenario for them what they just want to do

is just damage it which they will do so I think that's win-win for them if this movie is as good as everybody's saying it is then yeah

I think it'll do really well they're very cool what are we talking about? can't remember yeah okay here's some trivia Mason okay I got three bits of trivia

okay it uses this little hang on so which of these are fake and which are real you have to guess man about. Can't remember. Yeah, okay, here's some trivia, Mason. Oh. Okay, I got three bits of trivia. Okay. It uses as little CGI... Hang on, so which of these are fake and which are real? You have to guess, man.

Could all three be fake, potentially? I can't tell you that. All right. It uses as little CGI as possible. Fake.

All CGI. Sky Captain of the World is tomorrow. It's back in Captain America form. Yeah, so basically

Anthony Mackie said this, if they could build it, they did. Oh. So, there you go., so basically Anthony Mackie said this. If they could build it, they did. Oh. So, there you go. Second bit. Anthony Mackie was unhappy with his costume because it's not very superhero. It's just kind of like a metal backpack with wings.

Correct. Third one is Chris Evans can breathe underwater. Which of those three pieces of trivia... I think the middle one is fake because it's a great backpack. You're right. It's a rad backpack. You nailed it. You'd be happy to be carrying that rad backpack around.

That's it. Or your friends would ask about it. They'd be like, that's a rad backpack. Where'd you get that, man? Yeah, you're right. You're like a shield. So there you go. Looking forward to it.

Five stars. Ooh. That's the best movie ever. It sure is. That's the best movie ever. Next up we have Transcendence. I'm looking forward to that. The one. Oh, that's the best movie ever. It sure is. It's a creative best movie ever. Next up we have Transcendence. I'm looking forward to that. The one where, yeah, me too.

The first time directorial effort of Wally Pfister. Pfister. He was cinematographer on most of Christopher Nolan's stuff. It's got John L. Depp and the guy who's the voice of Jarvis and that other woman and a bunch of stuff. And it looks great.

Yeah. I'm really looking forward to this because you know me, Mason, and you know I love it when they talk about putting a mind into a computer and stuff. That's one of the things

that you love. That's it. Exactly. Just the idea of it. You love it. The trivia is, Mason, there's the two things. Johnny Depp used a computer

in preparation for the role. That's it. The trivia is, Mason, there's the two things. Johnny Depp used a computer in preparation for the role. That's it. That's great. And the other one is... I would prefer Johnny Depp refused to use a computer in preparation for the role. He didn't want to...

In preparation for this role, he didn't want to damage his preconceptions of computers. He didn't want to create a preconception of computers so he's never used a computer. That would be pretty great. He does look like the a preconception of computers so he's never used a computer. That would be pretty great. He does look like the kind of guy though

who has never used a computer. Yeah, exactly. He just lives on an Indian reservation. Yeah, that's right. Also, they say in 30 years time, this technology will be possible. Is this the trivia? Yes, this is also the trivia.

Okay. Because I saw this in a featurette. Possibly or possibly not. Which of these is true, Mason? Okay. So in 30 years time, basically, if technology is advancing the trivia. Okay. Because I saw this in a featurette. Possibly or possibly not. Which of these is true, Mason? Okay. So in 30 years' time, basically, if technology is advancing the way it is, you can put somebody's mind in a computer, essentially making the human race immortal. What do you think of that?

Well, again, not really. Because you're not transferring their mind into a computer. You're making a copy of their mind. Ah. So the computer copy of the human race will live forever. Yes. But we will all be killed. Well, you know,

there is a theory that this, what we're living in now, is already that. Are you saying this is a matrix within a matrix? That's what I'm saying.

Ugh! That's a theory. I'd rather be dead. That is a theory of existence. Ugh! Ugh, but how would we know? Ugh! Yeah.

I hate that theory. I know. Because it doesn't matter regardless, does it? There's no way we can prove it or not prove it. So, yeah. Next up, we have The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Mason. We actually think we get that two weeks earlier than the US. Ha ha.

Ha ha ha ha. Basically, I think, me personally, for me personally, this looks like the best Spider-Man film they've made so far, from what I've seen. Even though I know a lot about it going in. Well, exactly, that's the key. You know way too much. What do you think, though? It looks pretty good. It does. Dead-on costume, I think. Okay, cool.

I like how it's in daylight. We've talked about this at length as well. Every week. Every goddamn week. How much footage has come out? like 40 minutes of it or something there were the the fourth and final trailer came out this week plus a bunch of clips and whatever we're gonna forget about it i know right yeah but to this film's credit when it first came out and mark webb the director he um he was posting tidbits about it about it um like he he took a picture of a white Spider-Man lens and put it on his Twitter. I even made a video, I put it in the video. I'm like, who fucking cares?

Right. The Amazing Spider-Man 1 is a very average movie. Nobody gives a shit about your Spider-Man's follow-up. But to his credit, it looks really good. He's taken that to heart. Yeah. There's some Instagrams of him looking at your letter and being all sad. So yeah, there you go.

Trivia. Is this the first Spider-Man film to be filmed entirely in New York? Or is this the first Spider-Man film to be filmed entirely in a burnt out school bus? I kind of wish it was the second one. And it is. Moving on. Yes. next up we have Godzilla Mason I'm excited for this one these are much better

remember the previous preview episode you were like oh but Pompeii oh yeah Pompeii who cares I know nobody cares about any of those films you care about Captain America and Spiderman right no I'm saying the previous ones I don't care about. You care about Captain America and Spider-Man, right? No, but I'm saying the previous ones. Oh, the previous ones.

I don't care about them. I care about these ones, but I don't care about... Oh, I thought you were saying they were the same. No, they're different. Yeah. It's the peak season, mate. The 300 sequel sidequel. So, Godzilla Mason.

Yes. Gareth Edwards' second directorial effort. Uh-huh. What was his first? Monsters. It was an indie, which I haven't seen. Which is apparently really good, but I haven't seen which is apparently really good

but I have not seen it so or it's shit. I'm going to say it's shit. This movie looks amazing. They've shown just enough of the monster

I feel and they've hinted at other monsters in the film. They've tied it into the old Godzilla's without making it necessarily a sequel.

It brings in the whole nuclear radiation backstory and whatever. Also there's a giant lizard. And Brian Cranston yells a lot. It brings in the whole nuclear radiation backstory and whatever. Also, there's a giant lizard. And Brian Cranston yells a lot. I was going to say giant Cranston. I hope there is a giant Cranston. I hope there's been

some sort of scaling trick in the previews. And in the movie it's revealed that Brian Cranston is giant. It's just all been angles. They're like, what are you going to do about it Brian Cranston? He's like, well, I'm giant giant. Like it's just all been angles. They're like, what are you going to do about it, Bryan Cranston? He's like, well, I'm giant.

I suppose I should just fist fight him. I guess I could sort this out. It'll be like that commercial where Charles Barkley played basketball against Godzilla. Remember that?

I would watch Bryan Cranston versus Godzilla. Play basketball? No, just fist fight. Okay, cool. I think it starts as a basketball game and then it develops

into a scuffle. Yes. And then it becomes a full-blown fist fight. But yeah, in this one I think he's going to have the full then it develops into a scuffle. Yes. And then it becomes a full-blown fistfight. But yeah, in this one, I think he's going to have the full nuclear breath and whatever, as he should. Good. All that kind of stuff. There's also, there's a video on YouTube I found which was funny moments from Godzilla movies.

Sure. And there's some great stuff. Like, there's a bit where he does this kick where he just goes up on his tail and just slides along it. It looks like he's on a skateboard. It looks like there's a skateboard under his tail. Right. And then does this two-footed kick into another monster. Uh-huh.

It's great. But here we go for the trivia, Mason. Okay. Godzilla was inspired by bears and Komodo dragons. His look and his face was influenced by bears, dogs, and eagles to make him more kind of noble and majestic. He is noble and majestic. He's not.

That man in a rubber suit. There's only so majestic he is noble and majestic he's not that man in a rubber suit there's only so there's only so majestic he can be if you're if you're covered in styrofoam I'm talking about the new one though that's how they designed him

yeah he's covered in styrofoam yes yeah was it you that said I think it was you who said you just want in it like a split second one frame

of just two guys in styrofoam suits punching each other just for a fracking one one frame so you subconsciously know you've seen it yeah yeah yeah absolutely second bit of trivia godzilla from 1998 made the most money of any movie ever no not true you got me yeah that's you bloody got me your trivia is getting very trivial sure it is. Matthew Broderick was in it, though. I think that killed his career.

Then again, what was he doing before that? Ferris Bueller. War Games. Yep. Remember War Games? Yeah. I didn't enjoy that. Those two films, sure.

We watched that recently, didn't we? Yes. And we did not enjoy it. Mistake. Yeah, mistake. Never go back. And it was one of those movies where the artificial intelligence, you know, it's foiled by logic, you know? Like Transcendence.

Yeah. And it was also one of those films where, you know, the kid has a skill that comes in handy later on. He loves tic-tac-toe. And then later, then he gets him to play tic-tac-toe and then it ruins him with logic. That's right. I hate movies from the 80s. That's a couple good ones. Ghostbusters, that's it. Indiana Jones.

Indiana Jones, fine. Back to the Future. Fine. Terminator. Alright, I love all the films. Robocop. Yes. Mac and Me.

No. Romancing the Stone. Yeah. Jewel of the Nile. Yeah. Big Trouble in Little Chinatown. Yeah. Jack Ryan, Shadow Recrut.

That was a trick one. One of them. One of those is from the 80s. Probably. The ballpoint one. That was a trick one. One of those is from the 80s. Probably. The ballpoint one. Patriot Games? Yeah. One of them.

Okay. Next up, Mason, we have X-Men, Days of Futures Past. Have you read the comic? Very many, many years ago, sure. Yeah. It's one of the best, they say. From the 80s, sure. You know how I feel about the 80s.

I hate it until people point out all the great stuff in it. And then I love it. I also hate the 80s. So let it be known that I'm on board. Sure. Yeah, I think any decade, you come out of any decade, you get a handful of really good movies. Everything else is garbage. Right.

Fair? Yeah, no, you're right. Yeah. All right. And also, Days of Future Past was from sort of the Chris Claremont, John Byrne era where everybody explains all their powers as they're using it. Yes, that's your favourite era. Yeah. Yeah. Quicksilver, you know all their powers as they're using them. Yes, that's your favourite era. Yeah.

Yeah. Quicksilver, you know Quicksilver from that film? Yes. They shot his scenes, we've talked about this before, in 300 and 3600 frames

per second. What? Something like that. It might be 360. That's what it says on the IMDb though. I'd imagine, unless I'm making this up,

who knows. It's 3600 for that, surely that's not possible. That's 150 times slower than normal shooting because they're going to make it so when he runs yep it's really got that super duper effect where you feel like you want to vomit when you look at it well that's the essence of super speed isn't it vomiting yeah that's right oh wouldn't that be great though if everybody threw up yeah if there was just like worldwide release on certain date and then just the news reports

were just like spate of vomit in theatre like minimum 10 people in a theatre in every session just vomited wouldn't that be great

that would be amazing yeah yes that would best movie ever best movie ever yeah the next bit of trivia is

Hugh Jackman worked out like a mad dog for the role well that's obviously true you know he did he's dedicated now Hugh Jackman he is there you go so for the role. Well, that's obviously true. You know he did. He's dedicated. He's out Hugh Jackman. He is. There you go.

So look, even though people are hating on this film, and rightly so in a lot of cases, I am looking forward to this movie. Hang on, why are they hating on the film? The look of Quicksilver, the Sentinels, the fact that it's Bryan Singer coming back. I don't think people should hate on the Sentinels. The lack of colour in the costumes.

They didn't think... Some people dared suggest that Hugh Jackman did not work out like a mad dog. Wow. Which is outrageous. This is it, though, yeah. Yeah, it's basically because people want Fox to give the rights to X-Men.

Oh, okay, so they're haters, because haters are going to hate. That's where it basically stems from. And I guess they're cutting people out. A lot of people's favourite characters. That's right, exactly. But then Storm, whose favourite character is Storm? Well, Storm was cut from X-Men Days of Future Past.

They cut her. Did we talk about that? Don't know. Yeah, well, that's... But yeah, you're right. She's nobody's favourite character, right? Surely. I don't think so.

I mean, she improved slightly in the two and three, maybe. But she was a waste in number one, right? Yeah. Considering she is the most powerful, one of the most powerful physical things she can do. Right, sure. She could shoot a lightning bolt right through your head. Yeah. Yeah.

So, yeah, I guess... You know what would happen if she shot a lightning bolt through your head? What? Same thing that happens to everything else. See, that's how you deliver that line. Like, real smooth. That's true.

You nailed that. Thank you. You could be Halle Berry. I know. Yeah. If I were. If you get put into a computer world when you die, I you should make your avatar hally berry absolutely yeah okay um next up we have edge of tomorrow the tom cruise film i've never heard of that it was originally called

live die repeat it's the one where tom cruise is in an exosuit oh sure i've seen that i've seen and i've seen two seconds of that footage it. It looks like a version or similar to... What's that one called where Jake Gyllenhaal goes back in time? Prince of Persia. Oh. No. The one... Source Code.

Source Code, which is great. Yeah, yeah. It looks like it's been that and Elysium. Basically, aliens... That's one of my highlights so far in 2014. Source Code. Because I watched it again. It's great, isn't it?

Yeah. Yeah. Apparently, the guy from Quantum Leap is in that. Scott Bakula. Yeah. In a very small cameo. I've never seen it. Because, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. Apparently the guy from Quantum Leap is in that. Scott Bakula. Yeah. In a very small cameo. I've never seen it. Because obviously...

That's clever. Quantum Leap's all about leaping into bodies. Yep. Great show. Probably never saw it. Yeah. It's from the 80s? Yes.

Yeah. Without the 80s. It's tough. So basically, aliens invade, like in every Tom Cruise film. Sure. And luckily, though, he's the best. Yeah, absolutely. So he saves the day.

Now, the idea is he's a new recruit, which makes zero sense because Tom Cruise is 50. Right, exactly. Unless it's one of those things where they just conscript anybody. Sure, yeah. And he gets given this exosuit. And originally, he's not very good and he dies straight away. But every time he dies, he gets sent back in time. And then he gets to do it again.

So he gets a little bit better. So this movie has both exosuits and time travel. Yes. I think it's also based on a graphic novel. I think somebody sent me an email about that. I might be wrong. Huh. Yeah. See, I don't... I'm now against it because I don't

necessarily love any kind of science fiction thing where there's two wacky premises. Okay, yeah. I think... I don't know if it's a rule specifically, but somebody mentioned once the idea of one weird thing in a science fiction universe. You can have one.

That's why you hate Looper. That's why I hate Looper, because there's time travel and telekinesis inexplicably. Yeah, fair point. And the telekinesis is just an afterthought to move the plot along. So it's completely... So you can have... That's the thing. You can have exosuits or you can have time travel.

Yeah. Or you can have an insane sort of thing, you can have exosuits or you can have time travel. Yeah. Or you can have an insane sort of comic book universe where there's everything. But you can't, there's no, I don't feel there can be a middle ground. I agree. Because two weird things is odd. So many weird things. You're right. Because two weird things, again, is always like, oh, we need the plot.

Oh, we've got one weird thing. Yeah. We can't progress the plot further with just the one. Oh, let's throw in time travel then. And then we have to over-explain both of them. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah. That's a good point.

I'm going to say worst movie ever. I'm going to throw it out there. All right. Well, don't say that yet because I've still got trivia. Okay, then I might change my mind. Hold on to your balls. Okay. Okay.

Done and done. The character of Bill Cage, who's the main guy. Uh-huh. Of course he is. He's related to Nicolas Cage? Yes. Oh, what if he's a descendant of Nicolas Cage, who's the main guy. Of course he is. He's related to Nicolas Cage? Yes. Oh, what if he's a descendant of Nicolas Cage? I'm back on board.

If they say in the movie, like it's a little in-joke, that he's a descendant of Nicolas Cage. It says Brad Pitt was originally cast as Bill Cage. All right. Second bit of trivia. Tom Cruise has a weird Muppet run. Yeah, that's both correct trivia. Both are correct, yes. Excellent. Which one's mine, though? We'll never know. correct trivia. Both are correct, yes. Excellent.

Which one's mine, though? We'll never know. One of those was on IMDB. Next up, I thought I'd throw in a comedy. We're not all comic book movies, Mason. No. Well, we are.

I'd like to expand the scope. You talked about Jack Ryan before and that's not a comic book movie. No. So there you go. That's as far as we go, though. Yeah, absolutely.

That is the line. Yeah. Kind of unrealistic action film. Yes. As far as we you go. That's as far as we go, though. Yeah, absolutely. That is the line. Yeah. Kind of unrealistic action film. Yes. As far as we'll go. That's it. 22 Jump Street. Okay, yeah.

Sequel to 21 Jump Street, which I enjoyed. Yep. One of those movies where if you're going to make a remake of a thing from the 80s, just make it like a comedy, like a bit of a goof. Uh-huh, sure. I think that's where the A-Team fell down. Yep. That and because the ending was an all CGI crate moving.

Yeah, it was a shell game with crates. Yeah. With shipping containers. I don't, remember Miami Vice? I was just going to suggest Miami Vice. What did you think of that? Total fucking garbage. There you go.

Okay. What did you think? I. Why call it Miami Vice? We'll see. They're always going to Cuba in a jet boat. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, because Miami Vice

was created in the 80s by Michael Mann. Yes. And it was kind of, you know, pastel suits and kind of... Right. I've never really watched

a lot of the original Miami Vice. I have two copies of the season one box set for some reason. Okay, right. But I've never gotten into it.

I should watch them simultaneously. Absolutely. On different TVs. But I haven't. But apparently the current Miami Vice movie with Jamie Foxx and what's his face? Colin Firth. That's the one.

Thank you. Colin Farrell. Mr. Darcy. That was like his original vision was super dark. Ah, okay. And then, but in the 80s, you had to be kind of... You got to wacky it out. You had to be kind of...

But I don't know if the original was wacky. No. I'm sure it was Tanya. I've seen the pilot and there was some cop killing I'm sure it was Tanya Sheik or whatever. I've seen the pilot and there was some cop killing and stuff. What have you. I don't know, maybe... It wasn't one of those scenes where there was some cop killing but the cop was wearing a vest?

No, there was no... I don't know. Because also, oftentimes, the pilot is more bloody and adult than the series. And then they have to clean it up and they have to whack it up. So maybe the actual series is kind of fun and wacky, but they certainly wear a lot of pastel suits. They sure do. Yeah, yeah.

I don't know. Did you think it was garbage? No, you know what? It's not garbage. It's completely forgettable. We watched it together, though. See, I don't even remember that. Yeah, that's it.

I think it goes into, like, remember that movie The Kingdom with Jamie Foxx? Yep. There was an era of movies kind of like, I feel like that all felt the same and none of them are rememberable

in any way. And I think Collateral slips into that a little bit. I really like Collateral. A little bit. But I haven't watched it again. No, you said a lot. Wait, were we? What's going on? 22 Jump Street. There we go. It's from the trailer.

It looks pretty much the same as the first one. See, I think Miami Vice, if they'd made that a wacky comedy, would have been weird. Yeah, you're probably right. Because you couldn't go retro. Yeah, you can't go retro. You're right. Otherwise, you're just remaking Starsky and Hutch. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, good point. You could have said it in the 80s and made it a comedy. But the only joke there really is pastel suits. Yeah, good point. You could have said it in the 80s and made it a comedy. But I think... But the only joke there really is pastel suits. Yeah. Wearing t-shirts. That's exactly it. You're absolutely right. Yeah, I guess...

I guess, though, if you're going to do a movie like 21 Jump Street, you can't legitimately do that without it feeling real stupid. Sure. So you make it stupid. Make a joke about Channing Tatum looks like he's 40 years old. Right, right, right. And whatever. But this one, they go to college.

Yep. And they live in the college life. The college dream. Do you want to hear the trivia, I guess? I'm not really that interested in this. I'll probably say it, but yeah. Yeah, I got to it on DVD or whatever, 21 Jump Street. It was fine, yeah.

Yeah. But trivia. It was kind of fun. It was nice to see the Johnny Depp. Yeah, that was cool. I enjoyed that. No Richard Grieco, though. Wow.

Next time. There's one piece of trivia on IMDb, that was cool. I enjoyed that. No Richard Grieco, though. Wow. Next time. There's one piece of trivia on IMDb and it's not interesting. Great. I'd like to hear it, though. There's my second bit of trivia. There's lots of pieces of trivia

and they're all interesting. One of those things is real. Oh. Wow. This is like that situation where you've got two statues near some doors and one of them always tells the truth

and one always lies. And I can only ask one question. Because I mean, what are the odds that there is only one piece of trivia on IMDb? Well, it's a movie

that hasn't come out yet, Mason. Think about it like that. I'm going to say there's only one piece of trivia and it's not interesting. Correct. Yay!

I don't think I've actually been being clear as we go through this which of these is not real. Doesn't matter. But I'm assuming

people can work that out, right? They can fine next up we have jersey boys we're not an informational podcast no we're certainly not we're not even really a podcast so jam it that's what i said about listeners mason wow jam it's very 80s that's very hackers of you sure Sure is. Next up, I've got... Go gleam the cube. What does that mean? I don't know. Next up, it says Jersey Bots, but it's actually Jersey Boys. I wish it was Jersey Bots.

Me too. Me too. I feel like there's probably a Futurama episode called Jersey Bots. I bet. I hope so, yeah. Basically, it's a direct adaptation

of the stage musical of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. That works out real well. Yeah. Always. Malamia. Um, Les Miserables, which is really good.

Is it? You know I love a musical, though. What? I love Moulin Rouge. What? You don't know I love a musical. What? Are you serious?

What's going on? I love musicals, man. I love Wicked. I love The Lion King. I love Aladdin Return of Jafar, which is probably a musical. What? No, I like stage musicals. Did you not know that about me?

Then why didn't you come see King Kong with me? I did see King Kong, just not with you. All right. You know what? We talked about it on the show. I have no memory of anything. Listen. Listen, you.

You loved Wicked. Yeah. Do you love Wicked or did you just get dragged to that thing? I saw Wicked in London and I loved it. Huh. And I love Les Mis. You know what I saw Wicked in London and I loved it. And I love Les Mis. You know what I saw the Phantom of the Opera sequel? It's called Love Never Dies.

It's terrible. But the funny thing about it is, you know in the first Phantom, and I'm sorry everybody for going onto this. No, we're going off track because I want to get to the bottom of this. I want to get to what happened to you that you love musicals so much. Basically, the first Phantom, I don't know if you've seen it. Yes movie the movie also is great it's the guy who did batman and robin and it's actually better than people give it credit for gerard butler's a phantom and he's not the strongest performance because his voice isn't that good but it's still a great movie yep anyway in the second one you know the phantom's more mysterious and it's like is he real is he a ghost

he lives in the shadows he's an enigma i. I'm doing... He's doing jazz hands, by the way. Yes, yeah. More spirit fingers. Yeah. In the second one, he runs a circus. He runs a circus on Coney Island in New York. Huh. And he's still the Phantom, but he's... It opens where, like, he's at a desk, and he's doing, like, paperwork, and people... You know how he's always left alone and whatever? In this one, people come in and are like, oh, excuse me, Phantom.

He changed his name to something. He was like, oh, I've just got these tax papers. So he's just this businessman. Right. This legitimate businessman. This horrifically scarred businessman. Yeah, just doing paperwork. So I'm like, isn't he mysterious?

People thought he lived in a mirror and all this kind of... Is it a parody? No! It's Andrew Lloyd Webber. It's Andrew Lloyd Webber and it's baffling. It's not good. The stage production, whatever, is amazing. Yeah.

But the musical itself is... The songs are terrible. Sounds like a real Sherlock Holmes situation. Sure is. Sherlock Holmes. Oh, my God. I once saw a school production of Sherlock Holmes. You know that.

Yes. Tell us about it. It's a parody of Sherlock Holmes. Uh-huh. Yep. And, look... What's the premise of Sherlock Holmes again? What is the twist? He's a bumbling detective. And it's... Exactly like Sherlock Holmes. Uh-huh, yep. And look... What's the premise of Sherlock Holmes again? What is the twist?

He's a bumbling detective and it's... Sure, exactly like Sherlock Holmes isn't. Yes, it's just... And you know what? I remember because I saw it with a girl at the time and she said to me, yeah, I liked it. I liked how it was real to life.

And I'm like, what do you mean? You know, she's like real to the character of Sherlock Holmes. I'm like, Sherlock Holmes isn't real. And I'm like, and if he't real. And if he was real, he wasn't a real bumbling detective. You know that, right? And she's like, oh, okay, yeah, yeah. But you know what? I didn't think the Watson character was dead on.

I'm like, what? She goes, wasn't he a dog? I'm like, I think you're thinking of Inspector Gadget. I think. But the big question is, you thought Sherlock Holmes was a real bumbling detective Who existed in real life Who had a sidekick dog

Yeah Who helped him solve crimes So make of that what you will That's pretty incredible Yeah Also is it racist? I think it might be It's racist

Yeah okay It's very racist Okay so I think we've Yeah We've mined that As far as it'll go So anyway you love musicals I do

I love The Blues Brothers yeah it's great but that's as far as I'll go I don't love all musicals bear that in mind but yeah

I've seen the Jersey Boys stage show and it's great this movie though is directed by Clint Eastwood and one of my facts here is

wait what yes what he's from New Jersey I don't know he did that movie about Japanese soldiers you from New Jersey? I don't know. He did that movie about Japanese soldiers. You're not from Japan.

You don't have to be from a placemason that you make a movie from. You do if it's Jersey Boys. You're right. They should give it to Kevin Smith then. Oh, yes. They should definitely give it to Kevin Smith. So, yeah. Basically, one of my pieces of trivia.

But you know what I like about Clint Eastwood? He's so close to death, I assume. That's what you like about him? That's what you like about him that's what I like and that's it that's all I like he keeps trying different things yeah like he makes a whole bunch

of different movies and they don't always hit he's done that sex tape he did that sex tape yeah I think he's great because he's 70 he must be close to 80

but he just keeps churning out stuff that's what it was called sex tape do you want to hear my trivia? Yes. Clint Eastwood is a terrifying old man. Yep, good.

He declined to use Hollywood actors in favour of stage actors. Okay. To make it more realistic. And his best film is the one where he was boxing with the monkey. Sure. You've seen Every Which Way But Loose. And the sequel. Any Which Way You Can.

Yeah. I don't want to sound like a total dickhead. That might be my favourite Clint Eastwood movie. The barbary rides around in a truck with a rag-a-tang and they box. Yeah, okay. It's great. Yeah. Yeah.

So there you go. You're not going to see Jersey Bots? No. I'll definitely see it. I like the music of Frankie Valli in the Four Seasons. So is it, is there a plot? Yeah. It's basically, it goes from when Frankie Valli begins and four seasons so is it is there a plot yeah it's basically it goes from

when Frankie Valli begins and they form the group and into stardom into what happens to his kids and whatever yeah

it's great it's a really good stage show okay yeah but they don't always translate well Mason Mamma Mia yeah

haven't seen that that's one I refuse to see because I remember I saw ads and like people are loving people are raving about Mamma Mia

and then they cut to the crowd and everyone's standing up and singing ABBA. Heads up, ABBA are fucking terrible. They're a terrible band from a terrible era, and I wish they never existed. They won the Eurovision Song Contest. And I'm sorry if you love the Eurovision Song Contest, but it's fucking garbage. I'm not even a big fan, like, I like music or whatever. We know you like musicals. You've made that abundantly clear.

No, music I'm saying. But, yeah, it's not good. I think you only love music if it's accompanied by, like, synchronized dancing. Yes. And a sort of a plot where everybody talks, sings, everything. Yeah. Like your garbage. I have garbage.

You're right. You got me. You like ABBA? No, not really. Yeah. In your face, Mason. In your blood. I am garbage. You're right. You got me. You like ABBA? No, not really. Yeah, in your face, Mason. Do you like BABBA, the ABBA cover band in Australia? I really don't. We've spoken about Jersey Boys.

We've dedicated probably more time to Jersey Boys than anything else. Good. Bit of culture. Bit of high culture. Jersey Boys. Next up, you couldn't get a more different film here. Transformers Age of Extinction. Yeah, okay.

Why isn't it Transformers? That's what I said. Good question. I even made a mock-up poster of that. So there you go. You'd think that would be the perfect opportunity. People would love that. Yeah, they would.

By people, I mean idiots. Yes. And by idiots, I mean us. Yes. And by us, I mean I thought of it, and it sounds really good. You're right. All of those things are correct. Yeah, they would. By people, I mean idiots. Yes. And by idiots, I mean us. Yes. And by us, I mean I thought of it, and it sounds really good. You're right. All of those things are correct. Yeah.

Now, this movie, I want to say it looks better than the other ones, but I also, we've been, I wouldn't even say tricked every time, because I know going into these movies what they are. Right. And I still get angry coming out of them. So, you know, but it looks like it's got some interesting stuff. It's got a dinosaur. Uh-huh. It's got a looks like it's got some interesting stuff. It's got a dinosaur. It's got a dragon. It's got an American flag.

It's got Mark Wahlberg. It's got a girl. It's got an explosion. Yeah, cool. It's got an alien invasion. It's got a pterodactyl with two heads. It's got that. It's got the guy with the gun coming out of his face.

Gun face. Gun face. Yeah, yeah. So it's got it all in a way, Mason. If you want specific... Bumblebee's got a black, nice black finish now. He does. When are they going to make him an actual bug? You know what? Because it's not it all in a way, Mason. Bobblebee's got a nice black finish now. He does. When are they going to make him an actual bug?

You know what? Because it's not sexy. You can't make him a regular W Volkswagen. Are you looking forward to it? No, well, I'm not, but I'll get through it. I'm going to lower my expectations to below zero, and when it comes out, I'm going to look at the Wikipedia page. Yep.

And if it's like a brisk 90 minutes, I'll go see it. And if it's not, probably not. Well, I know. I can give you a bit of trivia, which isn't actually here. So don't count this towards it. Okay. It is the shortest of the Transformers movies. Okay, good.

It still probably goes for like four hours. Well, you know what? That gives me hope if it's the shortest. Yeah. Okay, I'll see it. Okay, here we go. In this movie, they introduced less complex and more streamlined designs for the Transformers. Okay. So less, like, jagged bits of metal.

Right, sure. Next bit of trivia is, remember when Michael Bay had that weird freakout on stage? Oh, yeah, and he just walked away. Sure, yeah, yeah, I remember that, yeah. Both of those things are true. Both of them are on IMDb. Great. So that's basically remember that, yeah. Both of those things are true. Both of them are on IMDb. Great. So that's basically the movies, Mason.

Wow. When I did a video on this, people were like, why didn't you include, like, Guardians of the Galaxy and whatever? Because Guardians of the Galaxy does not come out in this time period. We'll get to it, Mason. Oh, yes. But it doesn't come out. There's a few others that don't.

But they're the main players. I'm not saying they're the only films, Mason. Yep. But, you know. What are you most excited about in that list jersey boys no okay looking through this list i'd say captain america i'd say captain america and transcendence same yeah and i and not that being said i'll see all of these probably and the only one i'm really like uh i'm kind of like if you're on is 22 Jump Street and Transformers okay yeah

everything else I'm excited for but you know once again are you excited about Jersey Boys yes yeah

there's been no they haven't shown anything from it yet though is that a bad sign no not necessarily because it's Jersey Boys it's a musical

you know what it is you get it people running up and down stairs in unison and then waving their hands and then singing

about living in Joisey. Joisey, yeah. Okay, Mason, you know what it's time for? What is it time for? What we reading? What we gonna read? Okay, yeah. You know what I've been reading, and by reading I mean listening to, is Welcome to Night Vale.

What's that? Which is a podcast. Okay. Which has been going for a very long time, but again, I'm slow on the uptake. It's sort of a news and community announcements radio show in the town of Night Vale, which is a very kind of like a bizarre world where all conspiracy theories are true. I've heard of this. It's a very strange universe.

And it's sort of presented as, well, we're all trapped in this hellish universe. So here's some stuff that's happening. That's amazing. It's really great. Yeah. Where's it's sort of presented as well we're all trapped in this hellish universe so here's some stuff that's happening it's that's amazing it's really great yeah where's it where's it come out of uh the americas the americas oh i see right yeah yeah okay i'm gonna get that out i'm gonna have to check that out yeah so that's what also i saw veronica mars movie most of it most of it it's good it's pretty well you haven't seen it all the way through so i don't think you should form an opinion yet quite quite frankly. Yeah, sorry. Everybody's looking great. Yeah, that's good.

Okay. Mason, I've got here for this week. Jeff Lemire is working on a series at the moment. He did Sweet Tooth. He's the current run of Animal Man, which is great, by the way. Both those things are great. Somebody recommended that to me yesterday.

I should probably get to Animal Man. Yeah, it's great. I've read most of it. I think it's really good. And it also ties into Swamp Thing. Is it kind of meta probably get to Animal Man. It's great. I've read most of it. I think it's really good. And it also ties into Swamp Thing. Is it kind of meta like the original Animal Man

was? No not really. Is he aware that he's a comic book character? No. Okay. Unless that is a development that has

happened. Okay. Because it's the new 52 or whatever. Oh sure sure. But yeah. But what I want to recommend though is a

book called Trillium which is basically the art style is amazing in it. I think I read the first issue of Trillium. Yeah. It's set in two points in time in the universe.

I think one in like the 1915s-ish and the very far future. And they're both, these two people who have a connection. There's a woman in the future and a man in the past. And they have this connection. And through this ancient pyramid temple thing, it's very difficult to explain and I'm not doing it justice. No. But the way it ties in together, and the art style is beautiful,

and it's a great story, and the characters are really interesting. And it's sort of bookended, and they meet in the middle. Exactly, yeah. So I would say it's definitely worth checking out. And it's probably one of my favourite things that I'm reading at the moment. There you go. Is that on image? Or is it indie?

Couldn't tell you, to be honest. That's fine. It might be indie. Yeah. But it's... I might even... No, I don't know, actually. I'm reading at the moment. There you go. Is that on Image? Or is it Indie? Couldn't tell you, to be honest. That's fine. It might be Indie. Yeah. But it's, I might even, no, I don't know, actually. I'm not sure. But yeah, it's one of those ones where, you know, every month whenever comics come or whatever, or certain comics come out, you're like, something comes out and you're like,

okay, I can leave that for a bit. This is the one where like, the second it comes out, I read it. So I've been meaning to bring it up for a while, but it's great. Trillium. Check it out. There's no superheroes in this one though Mason.

Know that. I'm a little bit scared because there's no superheroes but alright fine. Alright Mason. Yeah. That's what we read

and what we're going to read for this week. Now it's time to settle in for 40 minutes of shout outs. Oh actually before we do that can we do plugs?

Can we do plugs? Oh yeah. No don't do any plugs however. Yeah. Melbourne International Comedy Festival is coming up.

Yeah. A few nights. Go to comedyfestival.com.au and check it out. It's where a series of comedians go up on stage and compete in a series of party games. Sweet. And have fun. That's amazing. And comedians are really oddly aggressive in weird ways.

So it's going to be... And they're all really attention whores. So it's going to be really great and we're going to have a good time. Do you know what days you're actually doing it? You know what? I don't have them good time. Do you know what days you're actually doing it? You know what? I don't have them off hand. It's six performances. Yep. Just go to

alwayspassgo.com Yep. Which is where all the details are. And you'll see all of your comedy mates. That's it. I'm definitely going

to come along. Yeah. We've got some listeners in Melbourne. Yeah. And it's going to be a games laboratory in the city.

So if you're a fan of party games and such and board games. Actually no I'm not. If you're a nerd and you are you such, and board games. Actually, no, I'm not. If you're a nerd, and you are, you should come along to that. Also, this isn't real, but at the same time, it's very real. I'm part of Kentucky Friendship Club, which is myself and comedian Tommy Dasolo. He's great.

Thursday nights, during the comedy festival, at 11.59, we go to the Swanson Street KFC and we hang out. and you just call in whoever's walking past anybody who's walking past who's who's uh like a minor celebrity of sorts yeah bring them in and we we have a chat but this isn't recorded in any way is it or anything nope but anybody's welcome to come and sit down and absolutely yeah yeah yeah that sounds amazing well you know i'll be there for both of those things mason will you some of them yes you won't be there for them i will okay i've got Will you? Some of them, yes. You won't be there for them. I will. Okay, good.

I've got some holidays coming up. I'll see you there. Yeah. You son of a bitch. You know what I love about your comedian friends as well? What's that? They've all got podcasts, but this one is infinitely more successful somehow. And I love how you love shoving it in their face.

It's pretty good. Because they're way better than us. Yep. Yeah. We have fun. We sure do. Yeah. Good stuff.

That's all my plugs. Do you have any plugs? Nah, that's it yeah plugs in your hair mate I'm just gonna be I do we all know about it don't pretend

I guess my plug is I'm just gonna continue living my life as is and if you happen to run into me and recognise my voice say hello cool nice

get into it yeah awesome on twitter alright Mason shout out to this week I'm ready I'm gonna start with Cody Stovall

who's got his own personal vendetta now I apologise to Cody because he emailed in last week because we did the show earlier. Why are you doing spirit fingers?

You're still doing it. I'm excited. You're excited. You've still got that Jersey Boys glow about you. I do. He's got a vendetta, I'm sorry.

He's got a vendetta which I don't condone, so I want to bring it up with you. You know I love personal vendettas. No, you do. No, I do, but I can't

say I can condone this one. Do you feel you're breeding personal vendettas in our listeners? Basically, I, I do, but I can't say I can condone this one. Do you feel you're breeding personal vendettas in our listeners? Basically, I think so, yeah. He's taken a grievance with a host

on another podcast called Cape Crisis who's always ranting against Man of Steel and he's saying he wants people to go onto their iTunes and rank them low

on iTunes and say Man of Steel is the best movie ever or something like that. What do you think? I don't think you should mess with a man's iTunes rating. I agree. Yes.

So, you know what? What am I going to... Don't do it. I mean, I understand, Cody. I completely understand. But, you know, sometimes people don't like things that you like. For example, some people really love the Phantom of the Opera sequel musical. And other people do think it's garbage.

I feel that you should find them in real life and threaten them. Yes. I think that would be better. Absolutely. So, yeah, yeah. Because you know what? Bones heal. But iTunes rankings can be ruined forever.

Yes, they can. So, yeah. I don't want to wreck anyone else's podcast, basically. I'm happy to derail my own to no end. I'm certainly happy to derail your podcast. But yeah, not somebody else's, unfortunately. So, I'm sorry, Cody. Shout out?

You know what? I'm not going to say shout out anymore because it hurts my voice. People loved that. What? People loved it. What does that mean? Every email I got pretty much had shout out in capital letters and an exclamation mark. Let me think.

Shout out! I'm back. You know why? Because I'll do anything. I'll do anything for a cheap laugh or some sort of distant approval from the internet. That's right. This is from Mr. Brennan from Belfast. Mr. Brennan.

I say Mr. Brennan because I got his name here, but it's auto-corrected to Cigar. So I know his name's not Cigar. Mr. Brennan Cigar. So I apologise. Animated Cigar. cigar that's right i'll give you cancer he was wondering from the comic book universe mason yes who would you most likely want to go for a beer for with well i'm not a beer guy i go for a cider probably and have a cider with well let's see batman doesn't drink no cap america can't get drunk iron man neither can wolverine iron man's got a problem yeah so maybe not him maybe comic book green arrow okay he's kind of he's kind of loosey-goosey yeah yeah yeah you know i reckon it'd be cool guy gardner because he'd cause a ruckus guy gardner i'm gonna pick

nightwing yeah because he's a bit loose. He's kind of loose. Yeah, yeah. And also, he'd tell you a bunch of shit about Batman. Oh, he wouldn't. Like, secret stuff. That's very true. So, I'd say Nightwing.

So, you're saying Green Arrow or Guy Gardner. Or together. Yeah, okay, yeah. Definitely. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And secondly, why in The Matrix, there's a character played by Harry Lennox? Because it's a Matrix within a Matrix. Okay.

Question answered. No, what's the question? his character is the only character in that who has a full name his name is jason lock or something like that and he's the only one in the matrix who has the full name why is he the only one with the full name what is his character okay i think he runs ion or something or he's one of the guys he's a commander of a ship or something oh yeah okay yeah but yeah but i don't know. Yeah. But yeah. But I think I know why. Why's that?

Because his character, and I looked into this and I can't believe I did, wasn't born in the Matrix. He was born in the real world. Oh. So maybe he didn't give himself a dumb hacker name. Right. Exactly. Yeah. So he's just kept his real name.

That's what I think. Cool. I may be wrong, but I really am. So, you know, that's what I think. Thank you, Cigar Brennan. We appreciate you writing in. Shout out. Yeah.

You can vary. You can go up or down on the shout out. Daxon Cardinal from Colorado. I feel like that's wrong, but I got that wrong. Is it Cardinal? Might be. I don't know. From Orlando.

Because when I copy them over, sometimes they autocorrect. So if I butcher your name, I'm really sorry. He's a college student.'s uh doing an acting major and he's made this amazing spider-man suit for an upcoming con upcoming con and he sent me photos i'll try and remember to put them on twitter and it it's amazing and he's got these amazing amazing spider man exactly and he's also it's spectacular no would you say it's web of yes and it's um it's really really good and it's all he's. And he's in good shape as well. So, you know, I mean, I'm happy to pay... How much would you say he worked out?

Like a man dog, it seems. But like in a lean kind of way. He hasn't gone over the top, you know. He's got that good Spider-Man leanness to him. Yeah, totally. And there's some great shots that he sent of him in the suit. And it looks really good. I love a good cosplay.

Yeah, it's really good. So, I'll show you them at some point. I love a good cosplay. I love a good cosplay. Yeah, it's really good. So I'll show you them at some point. I love a good cosplay. I love a terrible cosplay. I love a cosplay that's been made out of cardboard. All those things are great. So thank you very much, Daxon. Shout out?

Shout out. This is from Brony Who. Do you think they're a brony? Yeah, I hope so. Yeah. Is it spelled B-R-O-N-Y? Yeah. Okay.

His Twitter is at, with an A. I know what you can just say, at. I know, I have to because it's the way the Twitter is. Oh. I know the way the Twitter is. You're like a 70-year-old man of the Twitter. So it's like at, but then it's the word at. Oh, that's confusing.

And then 4W underscore, because during his studies of five hours a day, he listens to us talk nonsense. Does that mean he listens to us on repeat? Maybe, yeah. So there you go. So check him out on Twitter. Give him a like, send him a nice message being like,

good luck, brony. Yeah, I mean, maybe less listening to the podcast, more studying. Get your fucking head down. Yeah, come on, mate. Get your study. But yeah, thank you for the email.

Shout out. Lewis Pina or Pina it's got a little thing above the end yeah yeah you know him he's from Connecticut friend of the show

yeah you guys have inspired me to maybe start reviewing movies and stuff possibly a friend and I will probably start with a new Captain America movie

which I think is a good one we got dibs on that no you can review whatever you want it's fine see that's great Lewis when you do do it or Louie could be Lou, because it's L-O-U-I-S.

I couldn't possibly speculate. So when you do, please send it through. We'd love to check it out. Yeah. Yeah. Put a fun spin on it. Definitely. I don't know how.

Yeah, but do... Maybe literally just spin. Just spin. Do it from a spin class. Do it, or do it in a spinning chair. Just keep running around until you vomit. So, yeah. Thanks, Lewis or Louie.

Shout out. And he's got Nolan Bath. Oh. He sent in some great episode ideas, which I've noted. He also said that he forgot his friend's birthday, Matt Rich, right? And he said, can we roast him and call him a bitch? So, instead of him giving him a gift, he's going to get us to insult him. In many ways, that's the greatest gift of all.

So Matt Rich. Or should I say Matt Bitch? There, we got him. We got him. Happy birthday, buddy. Sweet shout outs. We think you're a dickhead. We need you to know that.

Oh, you've gone off script. You've gone too far, mate. Happy birthday, though You seem like good friends I'm assuming Because good friends Can insult each other Yeah yeah Also enemies can do that

That's true So we might have Stepped in the middle of a feud We could have Shout out Shout out Next we've got Ryan Miller

He says What superpower Would you like to have And how would you use it For good or for evil Boy I can go first if you want Okay go ahead I've thought about this I've thought about it a lot What superpower would you like to have and how would you use it? For good or for evil? Boy. I can go first if you want.

Okay, go ahead. I can think about it. I've thought about this. I've thought about it a lot. I was putting in like a false thinking time, but it's teleportation. Oh, that's mine as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Your jumper style.

Yeah, exactly. Do your clothes go with it? Yeah. Do you use it for good or for evil? I reckon anything I'm touching goes with it. Fair enough. So I can steal stuff. That's pretty much so I can steal stuff. So you would use it for evil.

I would steal lots of gold bars. I'd just use it to get to work and stuff. That'd be really convenient too, actually, yeah. So convenient. And also, what movie are we most

looking forward to this year? Sequel The Jumper, obviously. I would probably say maybe Guardians of the Galaxy. Yeah, me too. Yeah. I'm not saying that movie's going to be perfect,

but I'm interested in what they bring to the table. thank you Ryan and shout out shout out shout out that was me oh god that is hard yeah that really hurt my ears when I did that it's a real echoey room yeah um next up Richard Vale he just says uh shout out what can he put shout out you got it Rich we did it yeah we did it Rich. Next we've got Justin Sinclair. He also listens to us while studying, but ends up listening. Wow. I can't condone that.

I condone advancement of knowledge. Yep. I condone furthering oneself through education. I condone hardcore drugs. I was going to say, yeah. So, yeah, that's good. I can't listen to a podcast and read or do anything at the same time. I can do...

One of them falls to the wayside if I do it. I can do like iron a shirt, maybe. Absolutely. I can do like menial tasks. Right, right, right. Like, for example, I find what we do now so menial and so uninteresting. I'm listening to another podcast as I'm doing this podcast. That's pretty great, yeah.

Listening to This American Life. That's right. Pretty great. He wants to know our thoughts on Geoff John's Green Lantern run. I'm doing this podcast. That's pretty great, yeah. Listening to This American Life. That's right. Pretty great. He wants to know our thoughts on Geoff John's Green Lantern run. I haven't read it, so... Neither have I, so, yeah. Is this new 52?

I assume so. We love it, though, don't we? Well, I couldn't possibly say. I'm not a massive Green Lantern fan, so I wouldn't feel I'm not... I'm qualified to answer that. What do you think of Hal Jordan as a character? I don't really know anything about him.

He seems kind of generic. See, there we go, yeah. Okay. I mean, I don't know. He just seems like kind of... I don't know. He's fine. Maybe there's new depth as a character. I don't really know anything about him. He seems kind of generic. See, there we go. Yeah. Okay. I mean, I don't know. He just seems like kind of... I don't know. He's fine. Maybe there's new depths to the character.

Yeah. So it's probably great. Or not. I don't know. I also think... What do you think about there being all the other lanterns now? All the different coloured lanterns? Well, you know, it makes it an interesting universe, I guess.

But I think it's got to the point where it's not interesting anymore. Oh my god, there's a spider alien who's a green lantern. Oh my god, there's one who looks like a frog who's a Green Lantern. I meant more in the sense that there's like orange lanterns and red lanterns. I have no opinion. Star sapphires and black lanterns. It defeats the purpose of this. White lanterns and the whatever, Sinister O'Core or whatever.

The yellow one? Yeah, the yellow one. Whatever they're called. Yeah. Blue lanterns. Do you think he's our next Green Lantern film? I have an opinion on all the many heaps of lanterns. You called. Yeah. Blue Lanterns. Do you think he's our next Green Lantern film? I have an opinion on all the many heaps of lanterns. You do?

Yeah. What is it? Well, I don't think there should have to be a colour for every... No. A team of lanterns for every colour in this invisible spectrum. I agree. I think the fact that the device happens to be green and they're an interstellar police force.

That's good enough for you. Just a coincidence. Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah. There doesn't need to be all the other colours. Yeah, I think it was probably one of those things where, hey, we don't really have any green superheroes. Let's just do this. Yeah, and then Green Arrow showed up and ruined it all.

Yeah, he sure did. Apparently that run, though, Green Lantern and Green Arrow are really good together. Yeah. I like that team up, if only for the colour. Sure. Do you think, in the next Green Lantern film, first of all, I don't think there's going to be a next Green Lantern really good together. I like that team up, if only for the colour. Do you think, in the next Green Lantern film, first of all, I don't think there's going to be a next Green Lantern film,

do you think you should have full reign in writing it? Well, if it's good, which I'm assuming it is, then yes. But DC don't really seem to be the types to draw strictly from comics or comic book writers. I mean, Geoff Johns is a good, like, he's had a good run on things. Yeah. My only objection to like jeff johns work generally is that he's racist well he's a racist no it's not true that

and this is probably like his maybe his justice society work from a few years ago is that like he grew up he clearly grew up on a certain group of characters yeah and then when he became a comic book writer he's like but when i start working with I start working with DC, and I can make big choices, I'm going to use exactly that cast of characters. Okay, yeah. And so regardless of what the status of those characters was or whatever, he's reverted them back to the status quo that he remembers when he was younger. Gotcha, okay. And so now, you know. He's bringing his own bias.

Yeah, I guess so. Or prejudice. He is racist. Like the original Green lantern yeah scott yeah he sort of in the 90s he moved away from that because there was only one green lantern kyle rayner and he became sentinel yeah he didn't need the ring anymore he just had the sort of the internal green lantern powers yeah yeah and he was kind of you know he was this new character and then when jeff johns took Society, he became Green Lantern again.

Okay. And he got the ring back somehow. Right. And I'm like, well, just, it's okay for a character to evolve. Yeah, that's right. Especially kind of a second stringer character. Yeah. Good point. Makes it more interesting in a way. Or less interesting. Yeah. But he's a good writer otherwise.

Yeah, cool. Okay. He's doing really well with what he's got. So I'm going to check out that Green Lantern run. Do it. I'll write it down. Shout out. Shout out. That's Mason writing it down yep he's not just tapping his closed ipad uh joe steiner said joe steiner sent a poster in the captain america eat a bag of shit poster oh sure yep he made one i'll put it fantastic oh hopefully i remember to put it on the screen as well. Yeah, I know I should have, yeah.

It's great. It's, because I nearly made that into the video last week, but I went with the Batsuit one instead. I'll probably still do it. But if I do do that video, that poster's going in. Do do that video. Yeah. But it's great.

So basically, the idea behind the poster was, if you didn't listen, because Captain America 3 is coming out on the same day as Batman vs Superman, the Captain America poster is just, says Captain America eat a bag of shit. And it's not Captain America on the same day as Batman vs Superman. The Captain America poster is just... It says, Captain America, eat a bag of shit. And it's not Captain America on the poster. It's just Batman eating a bag of crap.

Or Superman. Maybe it could be both. Two alternate posters. So when you come into the cinema, there's one on each side of the entrance. So, yeah, yeah. Who thinks... What do you think?

What would be our stance on Bill Murray as Alfred and Will Arnett as Batman in a DC Comics comedy show? Will Arnett has been Batman as well, bear that in mind. And Bill Murray was nearly Batman in the 80s. There you go. He was considered for the Michael Keaton Batman role. Wow. Yeah.

Look, I'm a fan of all variants of Batman. Yeah. Like, I like the 60s Batman. I think it's hilarious. Yeah. You know I like Batman 89. I know you some For some reason I love

I love a Christian Bale Batman Getting easily tricked Thrown into a hole And getting his cane Knocked out of there I think that would work I think if they did it As a skit kind of thing

I think it'd be cool Because I like both of those guys Uh huh But maybe A DC comedy movie Would be interesting Yeah They'll never do it

No But yeah I like both those guys. Kristen Wiig as Wonder Woman, maybe? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Sure. I like it. You like it? Yep. I'm on board. He also said, can we shout out to his worst friend ever, Kyle, who won't watch the show. I'm assuming he means

Reed. But... Why would he assume Reed? Listen, Sean. I assume Reed. Okay, right. No, he said watch. Okay. Obviously, he means listen. Convince him. Quite frankly, Kyle, we don't want you. I'm not going to pander to your whims.

If you don't want to listen, we think you're... Take a hike, buddy. Listen or don't, Kyle. It's completely your choice. Yeah. Or, you know, but be friends. What I enjoy is a lot of these shout-outs are becoming, I've got to beef with a guy

who's sort of a friend of mine but maybe he's an enemy we don't have the full details but could you insult him

yeah shout outs yeah shout outs next up we have Eric Ramirez now he photoshopped a number of dicks on a celebrity

yes he did a number of mustaches onto a set he photoshopped a mustache onto the set photos of Benjamin McKenzie. Oh, that's nice of him. Which we really appreciate it.

He also sent in a really good episode idea on our weird comic book movies that nearly happened, which I noted. And he also wants, specifically, Mason, a shout out from you in your best New York accent. All right, hang on. I'm going to brace for this. What was the name again, sir? Eric Ramirez. All right.

Hey, Eric. Shout out. Forget about it. Have a slice of pizza. New York style. There we go. You forgot to say New York style. I should say New York style.

Next up, we have Zach Vidler. Yep. He recommends the comic So I should have included this In what we read And what we're going to read Ghosted It's an image comic

I've heard that's good also I haven't read it But image comics Are having a good run At the moment I'm going to write it down But I'm actually going to write it down Absolutely

He says shout out Because books are for nerds He's right Shout out Books are for nerds Thanks Zach We'll definitely check that out Next up we have

Jamal Ibrahim. Yep. He imagines, Mason, if you will, how we look. Okay. So you tell me if this is accurate. Okay. I'm a muscular black man, and you're like a baby in a high chair with a bowl of spaghetti on your head, as that explains why you haven't seen any movies.

Yes, correct. But it's SpaghettiOs Oh, that's right Yeah, yeah, yeah So It's pretty accurate It's pretty dead on, yeah You nailed it, Jamel Yeah, shout out

Shout out indeed Daniel Martins Now, you actually talked about this earlier He's from Portugal Did I talk about Portugal? Yes, you did You're constantly talking about Portugal. In Portuguese, it's weird, right?

Yeah. There's no Portuguese. But I think it was actually brought in Brazil from memory. But he wants to know what podcast we listen to. Now, you've named one. But is there any in particular that you, other ones that you enjoy? Because he is listening to How Did This Get Made, which we recommended a while back, which is a great one.

I'm just bringing up my list of podcasts but what do you listen to? Boy, okay let's have a look well I like to listen to Never Not Funny with Jimmy Pardo it's like a lot of

comedians talking comedy stuff oh man let's have a look there'll be a brief pause here sure that's alright I can do mine if you want I like the Cracked podcast

because it's interesting the guy who hosts it he talks very slowly which bothers me because you notice I talk probably too fast. Sure. But he takes a long time to form his words. Uh-huh.

But it's still great. Uh-huh. Yeah, because I like my news fast-paced. Uh-huh. And it's very much like kind of what they do on the Cracked website, like weird things that happen to presidents and strange moments through history that change time and whatever. It's really informative and interesting. Yeah, yeah.

I've also got here, You Made It Weird with Pete Holmes. That's great. I love the Pete Holmes show. He also does the Batman skits, the bad man skits. Oh, on Funny or Die. Yeah. I'm a college humor, but now he does them just for his late night talk show, the Pete Holmes show.

I also like the Tobolowsky fire, Stephen. Oh, sure. And he tells, a famous character actor, Stephen Tobolowsky, tells us stories from his career exactly i've got here the indoor kids the video games yeah but i've stopped listening to that recently because i've been playing less video games right i've also got smart i like the smodcast occasionally still yeah i'm very i'm very behind on that and i do like fat man on batman there's a bunch of other ones i occasionally listen to i like jordan jesse go sure yeah what about you what are you all the classics well i like a bunch of other ones I occasionally listen to. I like Jordan, Jesse Goh. Sure, yeah, yeah. What about you? What do you like? All the classics. Well, I like a lot of Australian podcasts.

If you enjoy the Australian accent. Yeah, sure. And I don't, certainly. But I force my way through. Well, I listen to Little Dumb Dumb Club. Yes. With me mates Carl Chandler and Tommy Douselot. Yeah, yeah. That's a good one. Oh, there's a podcast I listen to called Two in the Think Tank. Okay. Where every week a couple of friends of mine attempt

to make five sketch ideas. Ah, okay. It's good fun. That sounds good. Actually week a couple of friends of mine attempt to make five sketch ideas. Ah, okay. It's good fun. That sounds good. Actually, a couple of friends of mine have a podcast. It's called Is This The Podcast?

Oh, I know that one. And they want to do a podcast but they're not sure what their podcast should be about. So each week they pitch ideas for podcasts. Oh, great. It's very meta.

I think I've seen that one on iTunes. There you go. It's new and noteworthy. Fantastic. We used to be you and noteworthy. Now look at us. We're all've seen that one on iTunes. There you go. Yeah. It's new and noteworthy. Fantastic. We used to be you and noteworthy. Now look at us. We're old news, mate. Yeah.

So there you go. Yeah. So any of those, check them out. Absolutely, yeah. You got any others? I hate them. Okay. Maybe we'll bring it.

We'll try and maybe include some podcasts into what we read and what we're going to read from now on. Good idea. All right. Shout out. Shout out. Chris Finn from Boston. Remember he was having the worst winter ever.

Yes. Now he's coming the worst winter ever. Yes. Now he's coming into spring but apparently there's still snow which is bullshit. We're actually going into winter and I

hate this time of year. I love it. He said this is a question for you Mason. Specifically for you. Would you rather

fight a duck that's the size of a horse or a hundred horses that are the size of ducks? This is very much I've got an alternate one that I'm going to throw back at him later. Okay, so duck the size of a horse.

Yeah. Or a hundred horses. A hundred horses the size of a duck. I'm going to say the horse-sized duck. Really? Yeah. This is a true story. I've been attacked by ducks on three separate occasions.

I'm telling you, that duck would kill you. That horse-sized duck. Yeah, but what a fight. You know know what i mean it would go down in the ages you know like because like tiny little horses yeah like even if there's a hundred of them and i was swarmed and killed or whatever yeah like people be like oh they're probably just little horses like they're probably like foals or whatever and they're like runts or something. Like, and they were, you know, they were gonna... You know, the mother horse got, you know, Asian-oranged or

whatever, and then little runt horses. That would be weird. But a giant duck. How did that happen? You know what I mean? I think you're wrong. I think you'd die immediately. And you wouldn't... Actually, you know what?

He sent in the email to just disagree with whatever you said. Yeah. I'm going to do it. I think you're right. Because you know why? I'm on board because I want to see this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I want to see you fight this giant duck.

Exactly. So, yeah. I'd have a net and a spear and a machine gun. No rules, man. That's right. Yeah, yeah. Or a rocket launcher. Yes. Imagine if you shot a right Yeah Or A rocket launcher Yes

Imagine if you shot a giant duck With a rocket launcher Just imagine it Oh yeah man I love it Yeah okay Does it have the temperament Of a horse Or the temperament

Of a duck A duck Yeah it would wouldn't it It's a duck It's a duck For all intents and purposes It's a duck But it's got the

The swagger and self confidence Of a giant duck So You know What was this gentleman's Name again Chris Finn Listen Chris Finn The swagger and self-confidence of a giant duck. So, you know. What was this gentleman's name again? Chris Finn. Listen, Chris Finn.

That's the one. Because he said his friend always gives him these ridiculous scenarios and he hates them. So he put one onto you. But now you've put it back on him. Well, that's your Twitter avatar. It's a goat-heart solo. That was because that's my very famous ultimatum. Yes.

Which is, you know what, maybe I'll save it for next week. Okay, good. We've got to press on. All right. Scott Foreman, he sent in some great ideas for the show. His birthday was on the 19th of March, or is on the 19th of March. I have no idea what the date is today. We missed it.

Happy birthday. Yes. Aside from shout outs, what he wants for a present is is for somebody to tell jeff johns okay there we go to take it down a notch why does everything in dc have to change the universe forever especially since they're just going to retcon everything back anyway so what's his deal man he wants to stop it from being crassly commercial solace and self-important crossovers slash events crises that's actually a really good point yeah the you know what i always i there's a term invented for it i don't know if it's a real

term or if it was just in my head once i think it's called comics yeah it's called comics exactly yeah but it's called is the stunt treadmill it's called okay and you gotta you gotta keep on that treadmill you can't like if you wanna yeah yeah if you want to keep sales or whatever you want to keep interest you're gonna keep getting on that treadmill get on that's. You can't, like, if you want to keep sales or whatever, you want to keep interest, you've got to keep getting on that treadmill. Get on it. That's why everybody's always dying and coming back to life

or whatever, or the universe is melting down or whatever. But yeah, I quite like a universe where just people maybe just fight in regular crime.

Sure. And not the whole universe is at stake. Not everything is. Yeah, yeah. Well, every comic arc builds to the most climactic thing ever,

doesn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it doesn't have to reset the universe at all. No, you're right. Yeah, it doesn't. So anyway, I'm just. But it doesn't have to reset the universe at all. No, you're right. Yeah, it doesn't. So anyway, I'm just going to text Geoff Johns

and just let him know that he's a son of a bitch. You also got some suggestions for Stephanie and Justin's baby. Okay, ready. I know you said you got some names ready for this week. I got one or two, sure. One or two, sure. These are the names he's got, he suggested. This is from Scott Foreman.

J. Jonah Babison which like the premise there is like it'll stay a baby forever which is weird yes but you know what I found an alternate to that

which is Ra's al Ghugu which is a you al-Gugu. You put it in the Lazarus pit every little while, stays a baby forever, doesn't it? How do you like that? You've done it. That's amazing. Thank you.

I've also gone with The Destroyer, which is pretty much... The Destroyer. Good luck with that. Yeah. Because that's going to destroy a lot of stuff. So, yes, definitely. Also, what I did, because I looked it up, I'm like, hey, let's... I actually Googled superhero baby names. Yeah.

Because I'm like, well, what results am I going to get? And so there's like an article for some baby website. And it's like, here's some names inspired by superheroes. Sure. But I've gone down here. There are some odd ones. What do you got? Okay, so Flash, right?

This kind of works as a... That's very American. Flash is very great. Spider, but with a Y. Okay. Marvel. Oh, yeah. Gemini.

That's weird. Okay. Isn't that a car? Jet with two Ts. Thor. Which I guess is a real name But come on Jet is a real name It's like maybe you could Bart now

Yeah Or Homer or whatever Yeah Phantom This is a real website too This is like a website for like people Like expectant mothers Who are like

What will I name my kid? What dumb name can I give my kid? Here's one Magneto Except They've misspelled it And autocorrect hasn't Hasn't picked it up, so it says Magento.

Which would you write? Gun to your head, gun to your dick. What do you name your kid? It's a boy. Magneto or Magento? Magneto. Yeah, okay, good. Definitely.

Good, thank you. Magento is nothing. Yeah, exactly. And then Storm, Rogue, Mystique, Raven, Shadow, Flame. Oh, most of those are terrible. Flame? Would you name a child Flame? No.

And what it says here is many of these names including Shadow Flame, Rogue and Storm are actually unisex baby names that, quote, would be great for a boy or a girl.

No, they wouldn't be great for a boy or a girl. Maybe a dog. Name your dog that, it's fine. Name your dog Flame, I don't care. Thanks for your email, Scott.

Absolutely, I enjoyed Finchang Food. You did, care. Thanks for your email, Scott. Absolutely. I enjoyed Fimshank. You did, yeah. That's great. Appreciate it. And Stephanie and Justin, good luck. Let us know. Absolutely.

Let us know. Paulius Saltakazukas. Oh, God. I fucked that up. No, that was correct. Let's just call him Paulius. Hayden. Yeah, from Lithuania.

Yeah. It's not my fault. I don't know. I can't pronounce these names. We should be citizens of the world. We are. You're right. It's not my fault. I don't know. I can't pronounce these names. We should be citizens of the world. We are. You're right. We should really try harder.

I should know. He wants to know our guilty pleasure TV shows. Oh, that's a good question. I don't know if I believe in guilty pleasures. Do you believe in regular pleasure? Yeah. Oh, yeah. You know it.

I like Arrow is probably mine. Sure. It's not. Like, people are good on it, I think. It's super fun. Yeah. But it does a lot of the time fall on, like, the cliches and kind of... Absolutely, yeah.

There's a lot of contrivances, like, you know, people will die or not die based on a, like, a scenario that only crops up in this, like... Very... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, fair point. Well, I guess I could put arrow into that category when i was about 19 i for some reason i'd never seen it before i got hooked on dragon ball z because i didn't i didn't know that that was a popular show then and i was really into the show so i used to get up and watch this show every morning but i was 19 right past the age of

what i thought that people would get up and watch this but then it turns out that that's an incredibly popular show right i'm not i wouldn't say I know everything about it or whatever, but Dragon Ball Z for me. But I've also, at the moment, I'm watching Rick and Morty. Oh, sure, yeah. And I'm so reluctant to recommend that to anybody I know, because it is the weirdest show. Right. But I feel like it's one of those shows, whenever I show anybody a clip, they're like, what

is this? But I feel like it's made specifically for me. Right. Like, it's just right up my alley. Everything, it's weird, and it's clever, and it's stupid, and it's meta, but not in a really obvious way. Was that originally called Doc and Marty? There was some online clips of that, yeah,

which were quite horrifying. So it was Doc and Marty, and then they were like, well, we've got to make this a real show, and they had to... Yeah, and they made it Rick and Morty. It's essentially the Fifty Shades of Grey of internet videos, right? Yes, exactly. Because it was Twilight fan fiction and then they had to tweak it.

And it was a few, the episode last week where they got a TV that could show television shows from infinite dimensions. Oh, yeah. And the stuff, some of the commercials on that, I could not believe that somebody had come up with it. Just how clever and bizarre. Uh-huh. And, like, I very rarely laugh out loud when I watch television. Yeah, because you're dead inside.

Because I'm dead inside. But I was just, like, I had to pause it because I was just, couldn't believe that. It was more, like, just amazed that someone's brain had come up with this. Yeah, so, yeah. Rick and Morty for me. There you go. There you go. Moving along.

That sounds really good, though. I think that should be a guilty pleasure. Yeah, you're right. Well, like for me. There you go. Moving along. That sounds really good though. I think that should be a guilty pleasure. Yeah, you're right. Well, like you said, there's no such thing as guilty pleasure. That's right.

Watch what you like. Yeah. That's what I say. Shout out. Shout out. Nicholas Sanders from Sydney. He always sends

nice YouTube messages to me, this guy. You don't get them. When I say always, I mean he has in the past. Could you forward them? No. Could you screenshot?

They're for me. Could you? Oh. When I say always, I mean he has in the past. Could you afford them? No. Could you screen them? They're for me. Could you? Oh. He really enjoys reading comics such as Batman, The Punisher, Max series. You like that, don't you? Yeah, it was good. Ultimate Avengers, Preacher, The Boys, etc. As well as comic book movies and his favourite comic book...

I think Garth Enner should write a series that's just about people hanging out. Sure. Because he'll do a Hitman or a Preacher or a... And it's always with the boys and it's got to have some sort of superhero angle. Yeah. Just be some people hanging out. And. Because he'll do a hitman or a preacher or a... And it's always the boys, and it's got to have some sort of superhero angle. Yeah. Just be some people hanging out. And he writes good characters. Just be cool.

Yeah, just be cool, man. Just be cool. Sorry, cut you off. No, you're right. It's fine. He loves The Dark Knight and The Avengers. Plus, also, if he can get a shout out, then he could make his girlfriend listen, and she think that would be pretty cool, and maybe he'll get something out of it.

Brackets, if you know what I mean. I don't know if I know what he means. Right in again. Explain specifically and explicitly what you mean. And then maybe you'll get a shout. No, I'm kidding. Shout out, buddy. It's good to have a listener.

I'm not sure a comic book movie podcast that you get your girlfriend to listen to, though, will impress her enough, which will result in any kind of sexual intercourse. I'm not an expert on women, Mason. Or is that the way into somebody's pants? Probably, yeah. Yeah, good point. In this digital age of social media. Sure, yeah, absolutely.

Absolutely, yeah. Next up we've got Charmath. He's written before. I'm sure he has. Is he a Pokemon? Yes, he is. Okay, good. Mason, question for you.

Yes, hello. Is your first name Nick or Mason? Because. Okay, good. Mason, question for you. Yes, hello. Is your first name Nick or Mason? Because you're introduced as Nick Mason, but James always calls you Mason. Do you want to clear this up? No. Shout out! More questions. Will I be doing any more Everything Wrong With videos on YouTube?

I am going to do it, but only if there's a movie that comes out, which is incredibly popular, but I find glaring flaws in it and i'm compelled to make a video about it then yeah absolutely those i think i've said this before they're my most successful videos and the most hated on videos okay yeah well that's it so yeah if um if appropriate absolutely both of us what are your plans for the zombie apocalypse how will we survive okay i've thought about this a lot me. And I know exactly which character archetype I am in the zombie apocalypse. You're the zombie.

You're the one who's killed immediately and turned into a zombie. I am the guy where we're in like a shopping mall or whatever. Doesn't matter, or in a house or something. And we all run to the car. And I get to the car first. And I get in the car and i close the doors and i lock

the doors and everybody else is like what are you doing why are you leaving us what are you and i'm like it's every man for himself you i don't care and then i drive off and i'm like i've made it i'm gonna live and inexplicably there's already a zombie in the back seat and i'm killed and the car crashes whatever and explodes and then later you see me and I'm like a zombie, but I'm on, I'm burned. I'm all burned up because I was in a car crash and my head's at a weird angle. You have thought about this. You've thought about it way more than I have. I'm that guy. So I'm dead. There was, there's a girl I know who's, um, what's, she's like, she's got a zombie team and she's like, that she's prepared for. And she's like,

you're not in my zombie team. And I'm like, hey, fucking heads up. I don't want to be in your goddamn zombie team. It's not a privilege for me to drag your fucking ass around. Right, right, right. I've got my own situation going on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? I don't need you.

Right, exactly. I don't know if you know this about me, Mason. But I try to keep relatively fit. I'm not super fit. I don't even condone it. I am in a state of fitness. You work out like a dog. I do. Not like a mad dog, but just a dog.

Like just running circles in the park. Just running around. Chasing a dog. I do. Not like a mad dog, but just a dog. Like just running circles in the park. Just running around. Chasing a ball. Sometimes, sometimes you'll be like, hey, hey Macy,

you want this stick? And I'll be like, oh, yeah, I'll have that stick. And then you run away from me real quick and then you're like, but do you want the stick?

And I'm like, yeah, I'll have the stick. And then you run away a little bit more. It's weird. I am a jerk. Yeah.

Yeah. Eventually you just drop the stick because you lose interest. Exactly. Yeah, yeah. But basically, so I maintain a level of fitness. Yeah. so for any point in my life and this applies

to anything uh-huh if i ever have to run yep and because away from something i want i don't want to be the guy who gets to a fence and he can't climb the fence and then he's mauled by a pack of dogs right i want to be the guy who could get over that fence if he needs to right again i don't keep fit whenever anyone's like hey do you want to do a charity fun could get over that fence if he needs to. Again, I don't keep fit. Whenever anyone's like, do you want to do a charity fun run or whatever? No, I don't. Because I don't do it for a specific purpose. I do it so if I ever need to run from something, I can.

I'm a big fan of here's some money. I'm going to sleep in on Sunday. Exactly. Happy to give or whatever. But yeah, that is the reason I keep fit. Just so if I need to, I can get away or kill something. Yes, exactly. Some people say that's weird. I say they're weird. Yeah, okay. Just so if I need to, I can get away or kill something. Yes, exactly, yeah. Some people say that's weird.

I say they're weird. Yeah. You don't want to be trapped by a pack of dogs. Not at all. God, no. It's the worst position to be in. So that's our answers. Or you're just driving along one day in your car and then it turns out there's a pack of

dogs in the back seat and you're mauled and you crash. I've got an ultimatum about a pack of dogs, which I'll bring up next week. Okay, cool. Make a note of it. Yeah, with the Harrison Ford. Okay, good. Goat one. Sure.

Anyway. So, yeah, shout out. Shout out. This one's from Terezka. He's actually thought of a drinking game for the show. Okay. And it's dead on. I'm ready.

And I love it. I should have brought it up at the start. But basically, every time, if you're listening, these are the rules. You drink whenever James lies. Uh-huh. Which is most of the time. Yeah. You drink whenever Mason interrupts James. Uh-huh. I didn't know that was a thing.

No, it's most of the time. It is most of the time. I feel a little bit bad about it but then I don't. I thought I interrupted you more. Is that? Okay. I'm okay with it. Also. You just did it then. Yeah, I know. interrupted you more is that okay I'm okay with it also you just did it then yeah I know but the point is that I

my train of thoughts are so short that if I don't get in what I'm going to say I'll forget what I did yeah absolutely I completely I have no problem with that

this show we go where we want to go sometimes we want to talk about Jersey Boys for 20 minutes that's it have a drink every time Mason hasn't seen a movie

that's discussed. Right. I think also two drinks if it's really popular. Yeah. Like everyone's Star Wars. I'm like, Star what? Absolutely. And also a drink when either of us go off topic, which is great.

No, you know what you should do? Start drinking. Continue drinking. Do not stop until what you should do? Start drinking. Continue drinking. Do not stop until we get back on track. Okay, yeah. Like he decides to sort of chug until we get back on topic. He's also got,

but drink twice when it's off topic and it's one of my personal vendettas. Okay, yes. Yes. Finish your drink on a personal vendetta. So that's a great set of rules. I love it. That's a really good shout out for that.

Shout out indeed. Sweetest shout out. Niall O'Brien, N-I-A-L-L. He wrote this really nice long email. I won't go through it all, but basically he gave us an idea for the show to talk about

these particular type of comic book movies that aren't based on specific comic books like Condor Man and some other ones. So I've noted that, but he's also said, not to panic about, oh oh this is what I meant to bring up before about the Benjamin McKenzie

moustache because he'll grow into it the way that the arrow you know was originally the vigilante and then he became arrow and then he'll probably eventually become green arrow

and Smallville hit him with a Superman costume until the last 10 seconds of the show and you didn't see it and it was everybody was really disappointed good thing I didn't

stick with that one that didn't lost me like lost losted me. Yeah. Last one, Mason. I'm ready. Kasper Finn, F-I-N-N-E, Rasmussen. Ooh.

He wants a shout out. He's a good guy, actually. He's from Denmark. He wants a shout out. But we actually wrote... Some of the international listeners. I know, right? He wrote shut out.

But I'm assuming he meant shout out. You've copied and pasted that. No, no. I double checked this. Let's shut him out. That's what he wants you're not welcome here anymore we're shutting you out mate

we hope your soul gets stuck on earth like the real Casper that's right you're living in eternal hell on earth yeah no he's um

his favourite movies are he loves Dude Where's My Car I'm assuming that's Guilty Pleasure yeah I don't remember it he loves Deadpool the Joker the TMNT

Generation 1 the Dark Knight and the Jumpman podcast which he'd like us to do a crossover with them but as I think we've

established before we are physically incapable of doing that because we are not technologically advanced in any way shout out

shout out one day so yeah that's the shout outs for the week now for shout outs next week um we're gonna have to start culling them and i don't want to do it but it's taking there's a lot of gold in it

i know that's the thing though but the thing is though it's i spend more time going through emails not to not that i don't like it or anything i love getting emails and whatever than actually preparing the podcast and i feel like um yeah i don't know we might have to do something like maybe we'll have a question that people answer every week and then we'll bring out You know what we should do? Yeah. Is we should, like, keep doing less and less podcasts and more and more shoutouts until eventually it's this weird contestless podcast that's just us shouting people out for no

reason. Yeah. Like, it's real popular on iTunes for some reason. Yeah, yeah. We're just like, okay, this guy's got a shoutout. But it's not anything. This guy's got a shoutout. Yeah. But it's not anything. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. We're just like, okay, this guy's got a shout-out. This guy's got a shout-out. Yeah.

But it's not anything. Yeah, I do like many kinds of cheese. Shout-outs. He'll answer anything. That's it. So, yeah. I'll look...

You know, you do raise a good point. Yeah. Listener question. We can ask the listener. Yeah, so, do you want to have a listener question

for this week? Should I prepare one? No, I didn't prepare anything. Hmm. Let's go with... What do you think? I don't know. I got nothing. You know what?

I can't guarantee every shout out next week because it's getting to a point where it's too many. So we'll think of a question for next week and we'll do something like that. It should be

what are you most excited about? Good point! Movie you're most excited for and why. Yeah. Even especially ones that aren't on that list. Yeah. Because there's got to be some indie stuff or, you know... You better believe it.

Something that's really terrible. Michael Cera's probably got something. I bet he does. Probably having a little moustache. Yeah. That's where all the moustache budget's going. Michael Cera. That's it.

So, yeah. Thanks for listening, guys, to the show this week. Please rate us on iTunes if you would be so inclined. And don't downvote other people's podcasts. Downvote ours. Unless it's like a goof. Yeah. Like for a fun goof.

Yes, that's right. Yeah. Yeah, we're nearly at 100 stars on the iTunes thing. Is that a good amount of stars? Yeah. Jesus. I think we're at 95 or something like that. Yeah.

Yeah. Which is incredible. Downloads are going really well. If you want to reach out to us to answer a question or a shout-out, if I decide to do them or not, I'm not sure what's happening. I'm really stressed about the shout-outs. He's pulling out his hair.

I am, yeah. He's gone from jazz hands to pulling at his hair. For real. It stresses me out because I don't want to leave anybody out because I feel bad, but I feel like it's taking up too much of the show.

Right. You know what I mean? Uh-huh. Yeah. It stresses me out, man. Because I like... You should do drugs. No, you're right.

Yeah. Yeah, so hit us up on Weekly Planet Pod on Facebook, Gmail, Twitter. Yeah. At MrSundayMovies on my Twitter. I'm actually doing a... Oh, sorry. I was going to say at Wikipedia Brown. I didn't want to cut you off.

That's fine. Yeah. Hit him up with questions. I'm doing a video, my video on how to make a good Jurassic Park movie. That's going to come out on Thursday. I've made it last year, but for some reason I haven't put it out. But it's coming out this week. Well, it's because you sent that to the studios and you became the director of Jurassic World. That's going to come out on Thursday. I've made it last year, but for some reason I haven't put it out. But it's coming out this week.
