Welcome back everybody to another episode of the Weekly Planet where we talk movies and comics and TV shows. My name is James, also known as Mr. Sunday. With me as always is my co-host nick mason we're back baby my headphones aren't plugged in i was wondering why i couldn't it's embarrassing for you are you sure we got that last bit you sure we got all that gold i don't know who cares did you sure we didn't get that you sure we didn't get that gold where i didn't really have anything to say so i just went we're back baby i don't have any personal uh notes or stories to open with.

Don't you normally only do that when there's been like an extended break or you feel like there's been an extended break? It kind of feels like it has been an extended break. Now you're just using it as a crutch though, aren't you? Yeah, I'm going to... Five days? Oh, I went away so long. It has been a long time.

But I tell you what, it hasn't been a long time since Mason. Yes. Aquaman, the movie. Feels like it's been a long time since Aquaman. December. And now it's February. Has hasn't been a long time since Mason yes Aquaman the movie feels like it's been a long time since Aquaman December and now it's February hasn't been that long what am I doing who's this guy it's a surprised me okay right I don't know what it is he's a character who's very look I've been a bit grim all right what do you want from me yeah yeah yeah but I want to talk about that oh sure yeah i have 10 gallstones in me see this

that's a fun personal story and it's fun because it's not happening to me it's just a bag of rocks that apparently been in my body for a decade yeah right anyone's had it before it's just you get a pain that's very intense yeah it lasts a few hours and then it goes away and nobody was able to tell me what it was they're like you're probably just i don't know that's a that's a fire starting in your body from the rock from the gallstones clacking together and causing sparks the biggest ones are two centimeters across that seems too big i'm like is that big and he's like it's moderate and i'm like that seems big that's a rock you can break a window with that and he's like what's okay um you'll be fine we're gonna be with you as you pee them out i'm gonna have to

have my gallbladder out at some point I'll be fine Who fucking cares I don't Anyway we're going to do it live on the show We're going to do it on Twitch That's right It's going to be great Oh good lord Can you do You may or may not know this

Can you get a gallbladder out with a local anesthetic I don't think so Because if you can We're getting in there You're going to be up We're going to talk about Can you hold the mic to me Yes

Okay good No I'll bring a stand in We'll spray it down with be up. We're going to talk about... Can you hold the mic to me? Yes. Okay, good. No, I'll bring a stand in. Okay. We'll spray it down with antibacterial. We'll do it properly. Yeah, exactly. We'll put some antimicrobial shirts over the top of the mic stand so it can't be infected. And then we'll do a special episode where we talk about the best surgical scenes in

movies while you get your gallbladder out. We'll talk about that one from Alien. Yep. The Prometheus, where she said that's the only good part of that movie, maybe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's other good things, probably. Anyway, it's a day surgery or whatever. I'll be fine.

Yeah. What's the worst that happens? I die and I leave my family with nothing. Just a gaping hole where I used to be, both emotionally and physically. Now, the worst thing that had happened is I'm watching it on Twitch. What? You're not there? No, I'm on Twitch and I'm the only one watching so i can't switch it

off you know because otherwise you're just you're just getting your gallbladder out to an empty twitch stream you know what i mean embarrassing for you and me yeah i'd have to pretend i might have i just come back to it every five minutes and give you a thumbs up so aquaman is getting a spin-off the trench ohrench. Oh, The Trench. Okay. It was a good element of that. Was it a good element, though? It was short.

I mean, the biggest question I feel The Trench brought up was why haven't the tens of thousands of ravenous piranha mer-creatures just overrun the Earth? Because something about ocean depths? Maybe. And light? They could just go to places when it's nighttime. Maybe Nicole Kidman was keeping them in check. That's true.

Maybe they're not amphibious. Yeah. That would probably do it. Well, they evolved from Atlanteans. And some Atlanteans can't break the surface. That being said, they did break the surface. They did break the surface of some time. Yeah.

Maybe it's something to do with the temperature of the water. I don't know. Okay. Well, all these questions will be answered in the trench the movie no one asked for and featuring no characters from main characters at least from the aquaman movie i i i think they said oh what if julie andrews is back though this is a big monster yeah it's gonna be her show i'm still confused in Aquaman. Did they go through a portal or was it some kind of underwater funnel that they went into? I think it was an underwater funnel. I think we're just not supposed to think about the distances we're involved. Yes.

Like I think we're just... How the ocean is vast. Yeah, I think we're supposed to just go, okay, well, the ocean is vast, but they went down really deep and they've got fast swimming powers. So they got to the center of the earth. I don't think we're supposed to go that would have taken months yeah whatever yeah i've seen the core the movie the core with hillary swank took quite a long time you've seen the core no you should check it out no you don't need to thank you do you like disaster movies sometimes it's probably not a good one okay then even for those actually no i think i

like it better than a lot of those. I do like little submarine movies. Well, there you go. It's more like one of those things that Shredder used to get to the Technodrome. It's more like one of those things. What were those called? Spirally Direly's. Yeah, Spirally Direly's. Good, excellent.

Anyway, I think they seem to have got this idea from... James Wan has done spin-off... Like, Annabelle does a spin-off of The Conjuring or the other one Is this the Hobbs and Shaw? Potentially, yeah DC Universe Well I think they've gone Hey people liked this

I noticed that that weird piranha cannibal man didn't get along with that weird piranha cannibal man So what if they teamed up as a buddy movie? In the trench In the trench Boy it sure is tough patrolling the beat of the trench Us two cannibalistic merman cops I don't get along with you In the trench. In the trench. Boy, it sure is tough patrolling the beat of the trench.

Us two cannibalistic merman cops. I don't get along with you and you don't get along with me. But let's eat this man off a boat. And let's see what Julie Andrews has got to say. I'm the chief and you're off the case to... You're off the trench. You're off to get out of the trench. Hand over your big knife and your big fork and your trident. Hand them in.

Yeah, so it's writers Noah Gardner and Aidan Fitzgerald, who i forgot to look up what they have done but i'm sure they've done wonderful work uh i get i think this stems from people aquaman is now the most successful dc movie yeah right time i don't think it's adjusted for inflation maybe it is yeah so of course they're going to spin off this one this is now the lynchpin of the universe mason wow what else could they spin off from it? Like, why this? I guess because it's full of mysteries. What about people fixing up that villa in Italy

that they smashed up? Oh, that'd be good, yeah. Just home repairs. Uh-huh, that'd be nice. Anyway, are you excited? Sort of. Oh, wow, that's good. It's just, it's an odd,

given that they have so many DC superhero properties, but I guess that hasn't been working out so well for them. Some more than others. But it's weird that they go, you know what? You know what we should bring out of the DC universe? Piranha monsters. I guess. Sure, why not?

I do have a thing that I did this week. Okay. A couple of weeks ago, I was on Book Cheat, Dave Warnocki's Book Cheat with Joel Dusha. Yeah, I remember. Teamed up with Joel Dusha again this week. Double team up. Because I was on Josh Earle's podcast, Don't You Know Who I Am?

Ah, very good. That's right, yeah, which is on the Planet Broadcasting Network. Did people end up knowing who you were by the end? Yeah. Good. Are you running out of lies to tell for that show? No, I've always got more lies. You've always got more lies.

Lies upon lies. Yeah, I was on with comedians Laura Dunham and Michael Williams, who were both very funny. What a team. What a team. What a team. It's a duck for its own. Yeah, that's right. That's great. Good fun.

Everybody should listen to that. Should I listen to it? Yes. I'll listen to it then. Yeah, nice. Sounds like quite the team up of things, Mason. Agreed. Do you want to do the next bit of news?

I guess so. Do you like The Walking Dead? Have you ever seen it still? Again, I've seen the first five minutes of the first episode. I said I'll get back to this. I never did. Good. Danae Guerrera, don't know how to pronounce that.

She plays Okoye in Black Panther. Yep. You know, the bodyguard to the king. And she's like, I'll kill my husband for Black Panthers. Yep. I'll do it. I don't mind. I'll do it.

Yeah. She's leaving. No, like, we're having lunch. What are you doing? Just chill out. Come on. She's going to do a handful of episodes in season 10 of The Walking Dead, which has apparently been going for 10 years.

I did not know that. Happy anniversary of The Walking Dead. It's never been better than season one. All right. So that's just it. I mean, she's a rising star in a big way. That's true. She's very popular on that show, and she's really good on that show, actually.

A lot of people are very good in that mediocre show. So Andrew Lincoln has left, but he's going to have his own spin-off, Rick Grimes' Adventure Movies. Oh, that's right. Because there are a couple in that, so maybe they'll team up and live together on an island or whatever. I don't know. Every time you tell me about The Walking Dead, I'm like, oh, that's fascinating that those two are in that show and they're having a good time. It's fascinating because it's a good premise with a really great cast. That's a good special effects.

Great theme song. Apparently it upsets cats if you play it to a cat. And it's very forward to the 10-year anniversary gift. There's somebody inexplicably showing up behind you as a surprise. A very slow zombie is somehow behind you yeah so look i haven't been watching this and i will continue not to but it just goes to show mason all good things must come to an end and all mediocre things must slowly die out over a period of years bleeding viewers i'm speaking of i believe uh the simpsons has just been renewed for seasons 31 and 32 right did you

say that yeah it's nearly as old as we are. Yep. Oh, boy. That started in 89 or 88? Well, subtracting however many seasons are currently out, no, I won't do it either. We could do it, but it'll drag this show to a halt. And the breaks have already been applied.

Yeah, man, I couldn't even... I don't know when it's on. Do you think it's going to take a turnaround somehow? At some point? I guess because... I don't know when it's on. Do you think it's going to take a turnaround somehow? At some point? Yeah, I mean, things... I guess because... I'm sure it's not all bad. Yeah, right.

I'm sure there's still good episodes. I'm not going to risk it, though. Nah. I would want somebody whose opinion I trust to come to me and say, this is better than it's ever been. It's turned around somehow. I mean, it might get to a point where...

It's kind of antiquated, though. Yeah, I mean, it might get to a point where the people who were fans of it as children start writing on it. And then it might take a... That's very possible. Maybe it should have stopped for 10 years in the middle to give it that Doctor Who boost.

Sure, yeah. But when you've got F is for Family and Rick and Morty and all these other things, and Family Guy, your favourite. Absolutely, yeah. All of these things riding high. It's kind of like, I don't feel like need this you know but people must still be watching it you know mason we're closer in age to homer simpson than part simpson oh no how old's homer supposed to be i think it's like 38 39 oh god so that's you mason nearly nearly there we go uh you're excited for the Kingsman prequel that you'll see for this show?

I am now, yeah. Okay, good. Yeah, why? What have you got to spoil me on that? Aaron Taylor-Johnson is going to be in it. Oh, yeah, that's right. He's going to star, I think. Daniel Bruhl is in it.

Oh, it's a World War I prequel, I should point out. Yeah, right, from Captain America Civil War. Correct. And probably some grim... The Alienist. Oh, yeah, and probably some grim The Alienist grim oh yeah and probably some Grim Glory and Crime

Crime TV shows probably yeah they find a body in a bridge or in a moat or in a well tree maybe it's in a tree

maybe it's in a tree yeah Charles Dance you might know from The Game is On Award The Game is On Award and Game of Thrones and Alien 3

Rise Ethan so you might know as the Lizard, and Notting Hill. That's right. And the replacements. Yep. Apparently he's going to be like the Russian hypnotist villain or something. Okay, sure. I'll give this another go.

Me too. Imagine Kingsman tech, but like World War I stuff. Cool, right? Yeah. Cool. It's a horse, but it's got like guns in its legs. Horse with guns in its legs. A horse with guns in its legs. Yeah.

I don't think that horse would run very well. Are they all replaced, all the legs? Yeah, every leg. That would just be a stationary horse. A stationary sad horse. Look, you've got to make an omelette, you've got to break a few eggs. Or horses in this case. Yeah, if you've got to weaponize a horse, you've got to break a few horses' legs.

So there you go. Do you know who's directing that? Is it Matthew Vaughan? I could not tell you for a billion dollars. I'll'll i'd take a punt for a billion dollars okay here we go yes take a punt no you have to give me a billion dollars okay i'll give you and then i'll guess okay uh it's not matthew vaughn i'm gonna say it's not matthew vaughn okay i think it is well regardless i got that billion dollars so i know he's he's the producer. Wait, sorry. No, he's the director. Keeps me in the ground.

I looked at, for some reason, when you go to a lot of IMDb's, like the first thing is producer. Yes, right, okay. But it should be like, I know producer is very important probably. I don't know. They're the boss. But sometimes. Sometimes.

But yeah, so, and then it's writer then director. So there you go. Cool. But he's acted in two things it's writer, then director. So there you go. Cool. But he's acted in two things. Guess what they are. Can you give me a clue of any kind? He's in Direct Effect, the TV series, as X-Men First Class. I don't know what that's supposed to mean.

And in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, he plays Yuppie in Car. Huh, there you go. There you go. All right. You could have guessed that. No, I couldn't have. Well, see, that's not how clues work neither of those things

were clues Mason I'm bloody crook as a bloody chook mate I'm a crook as a chook can't be alright look

look Mr. movies um just wanted to let you know based on your scans uh you you're gonna be fine but

you won't be able to give clues anymore your cook is a joke also it's going to burn when you pee really badly those things are unrelated that's a kidney thing yeah i know this is more like any like an abdominal pain oh yeah yeah anyway it's neither here nor there but what is both here and now oh yes there child's play mr sunday movies your segues are going to be better than ever but you can't give It's neither here nor there. But what is both here and now? Oh, yes. And there. Child's Play. Mr. Sunday movies, your segues are going to be better than ever. But you can't give clues. When one door closes, another door opens. I hope you're okay with that.

Yeah. Child's Play is a trailer where instead of being a haunted doll with a ghost trapped in it or whatever those movies were about. Yes. It's now technology. A robot doll. High tech robot doll. You saw a very amusing tweet that you told me before the show.

It was something along the lines of, if I was attacked by Chucky the doll, I'd just kick him. Which makes a lot of sense. Does he have the strength of an adult man, Vincent? He apparently has the strength of an adult man.

But even then, he's quite small. That was pointed out in the replies, but he's just like, no, I'd kick him though. Like it was just, I think, I'll try and find the tweet, but whatever, it was a masterclass in just being like, I'd just kick, and then people just getting angry at him.

Like, well, you couldn't because- His heart is possessed. People have tried that and it doesn't work. And he's like, no, but I would kick him better. But is this going to be a high-tech doll or is it going to be a high-tech doll, but it also has a murderer in it? I think it's just a high-tech doll. I remember reading the synopsis like a while back okay you're gonna you're gonna jazz it up for

the kids kids aren't interested in a spooky doll they're interested in a doll that has got the nanotechnologies and the personality of a fortnight character or something i guess that's true yeah that's what they want they want it tapping they want it doing a little victory shuffle absolutely um is it i guess we we won't know until the end, but why is it evil though? AI maybe? The switch like in The Simpsons. Oh, yeah, good point.

Well, okay, small soldiers though were just programmed that way. You ever seen that movie? I've seen small soldiers. It's a bloody banger, mate. It is. Phil Hartman, RIP.

Yeah, that's right. But... Dennis Leary's still alive. Yeah. He's good, isn't he? I think so. I don't know anything about him. He did that song, didn't he? Yep. God, he He's good isn't he? I think so I don't know anything about him He did that song didn't he?

Yep God he was mean wasn't he? He was Yeah he was real mean He didn't tolerate certain things Didn't care Didn't care what anybody thought about him Tell you what

Went his own way That other song Go Your Own Way That's about him Is it really? Fleetwood Mac song Wow That's great

He must have been a very Obtuse child Yeah you better believe it But did you watch any of these other ones? I've seen Bride of Chucky, I think. I've seen Bits and Pets. Is that the one at the end where they have a baby? Yes.

Where they artificially inseminate somebody in it? The woman who's good at poker. Yeah, is that right? Yeah, I think so, yeah. Yeah. I feel somewhat confident in saying that. Who cares? It doesn't matter. Brad Dourif and And Jennifer Yes

You know what I'm talking about I know who you're talking about She's good at poker in real life Real life poker champ Yes I can look it up if you want Thank you if you could Yeah that's the one I've seen

But I've seen bits and pieces Was it I don't remember this being A particularly scary thing No I think Because when we'd By the time that one was out Jennifer Tilly

Jennifer Tilly That one It had It had descended into self-parody I think Yes Yeah Which is the way of all Oh John Ritter's in Bride It had descended into self-parody, I think. Yes. Yeah, which is the way of all.

Oh, John Ritter's in Bride of Chucky. Is he? R.I.P. R.I.P. John Ritter. Jennifer Tilly's still alive. That's right. Yeah, sorry, it's already descended into parody. Poker Face.

Did you know that song's about her? Is it really? Yeah, because she's so good at poker. Oh, man. Yeah. That was the perfect time to release that song. I agree. Yeah, okay.

But yeah, all horror franchises descend into self-parody at a certain point uh and then they get a weird reboot except for saw i don't think so has become a self-parody yet i saw the most recent one and i'm like this is still pretty straight-faced yeah unless they do unless because i because i watched the first one and then the most recent one so there was about six in the middle so they may have they may have descended into self-parody right by about five and I don't think so. It's mostly just the traps. Yeah. Did you miss anything?

No. Do you feel? No. It was weird seeing Aubrey Plaza in this. Yeah. As a mum, but she's like 34. Because I've been re-watching Parks and Rec. Yeah.

And she's supposed to be like 20 or she is when they came out. Oh, I see what you're saying. I thought you were saying... She's a mum? I thought you were saying, it's unrealistic for a 34-year-old woman to be a mum. I would never believe it. Yeah.

I'd be interested to see, like, what's his... We don't even know what his original form is yet. Because he grabs the little dungarees outfit, the Super Mario Brothers dungarees outfit, and puts it on. So what's he look like? Because the traditional look of Chucky is he's like this wild-eyed, crazy head. But he didn't start like that. Yeah, right.

That's what I'm talking about. Because he gets all scarred up or whatever. Yeah, yeah. I think they've released an official image of what the new one looks like. Oh. I think. But it's just a kind of a cleaner cut kind of version of... That might not even be...

Oh, okay. Right. Sure, sure. He looks like that Sony robot dog. I hate all those. What if he did? What if he looks like that Sony robot dog I hate all those what if he did what if he looked like that do you like any of those

no yeah do you think this is going to be a movie about the terrors of like smart speakers and like having

Alexa in your house oh maybe and it's always listening to you something like that yeah it's probably going to be an element of that

it's gone too far etc they put in military chips like small soldiers yeah exactly RIP Dennis Leary you know it's just it's just all of those things that we love i agree yeah also is it going to be one of those things where i doubt it but it's not going to be linked to the first one i assume not going to be like we made a child's doll that looks like those movies or whatever we released a limited edition version of the murderous doll chucky and we built an artificial intelligence chip in it

and gave it the strength of a man. Yeah. But everything's going to be fine. But you can just kick it. Yeah, just kick it if you want. I think that's so great. Captain Marvel. Oh, yeah.

Oh, it's a very 90s thing. It's web 1.0, this thing. I checked it out and I'm like, I hate this. Can't even look at it. Because it reminded you of the battle it's just the gifts and the spinning and the colors do you remember when if you didn't know a fact you had to wait until monday and go to school and find it in an encyclopedia yes or ask somebody at school who also didn't know yeah probably a liar unless it was a pop cultural fact in which case you just wouldn't know. Because they don't put that in an encyclopedia, do they?

If you didn't know a song lyric and you didn't have the liner notes. You didn't know. Wow, yeah. You just didn't know. And to rely on your friend. Do you miss not knowing? No. Or do you like knowing?

I hate it. Just imagine. Imagine if the internet broke. No, I can't. And I won't deal with it, quite frankly. Don't you think there'd be a relief? Didn't they should shut off the internet at any point? Just for like a week to see what happens?

No. No. Do you think people would go mad? People would probably go mad, right? Based on the sample size here, one of one, yes. 100% of the people in the world would go mad. Okay, good. What were we talking about?

Captain Marvel website. Okay, are there any secrets to be unearthed in this a little bit there's bits and pieces there's like apparently other people on the train might be scrolls because it's like pick the scrolls oh i say right yeah is there any is it like pick the scrolls and one's captain america and you click it and it's like he's definitely a scroll correct this website's in canon is there anything like that i don't believe so Okay I think it's just the people Different people on the train It's like pick this But there's no way of knowing

Yeah right So I did the test Is there a Samuel L. Jackson gif of some sort? Yeah there is He's like patting a cat or something Cool Nice But his lower half is moving

Is there any animated fire? I don't know There might be like a twinkling star Nice That's pretty good Because she's from space I could only look at it For like five minutes Not even For like two minutes Yeah right Yeah like a twinkling star. Nice. That's pretty good because she's from space. I could only look at it

for like five minutes, not even, for like two minutes. Yeah, right. Yeah. It's obviously they've gone, remember that Space Jam website? Yes.

It's an homage. I get it. Yeah, yeah, cool. This is good marketing though. I agree. I hate bad marketing. But you like good marketing. But I love good marketing

and any marketing is good marketing in my opinion. Yeah, right. Yeah. As long as it's telling me to buy a product, that's what I want. Yeah, but I just think it's quite clever. And, you know, it gets people talking. And then websites are like,

you'll never believe what Captain Marvel's website is and whatever. Is it from the 90s? Okay, you've guessed. You believe that I knew. We're correct. Okay. I figured it right out. All right. and there's probably

some secrets to be I bet there's some secrets in the bloody I bet there's some secrets in the source code or something well there is we're doing a video this week

we haven't recorded it yet on some Avengers theories and one of there is a secret in the source code which may point to a certain villain we might save that is there a view counter

on the website oh that's a good question. Okay, I'll go back to it. Is it just CaptainMarvel.com? No, I think it's... Is it GeoCities? Did they reopen GeoCities for this? Oh my God, imagine.

All the sites are like... No, it's... Yeah, it's Marvel.com slash whatever. But the first results are like, you'll never believe what the Captain Marvel website is. Blurb. Marvel's new Captain Marvel website is a throwback to Noddy's web design.

It's a blast from the past. Okay, I've found it. All right, I'm ready. There is a twinkling star. Nice. There is a jet plane. What was I looking for again? There's a guest book.

Can you sign the guest book for me? I don't think they're real. Oh, that's a shame. There is a counter. How many there? 13 million views. That's quite a lot. That's quite a lot, isn't it?

Anyway, I hate this. You hate it, okay, isn't it? Anyway, I hate this. You hate it, okay. And I respect it, but I hate it. But you hate it. Okay, cool. Like you. Thank you. I probably just hate.

Okay, next thing. Next thing, Mason. Oh, there's a photo gallery. The only inaccurate thing is they're high-res images. They're not unbelievably pixely ones. You should leave a message on the message board. Maybe I will. Yeah.

Oh, there is animated fire. This is the best best do you wish more websites were like this yes do you really wish that no could you imagine if every website was this there's such clean interfaces nowadays yeah no this i mean the other the the advantage this has seeing that from here is so upset i know the advantage that this sort of website has, there's a little top secret animated gif. Anyway, the point, what I enjoy about this is that it doesn't have, I'm looking at it on my phone and there isn't a billion pop-ups. I haven't opened the website and it's immediately gone. Do you want to subscribe?

Yeah. And I'm like, no. I think our website does that. We're different though. It's genuine. Yeah, it's genuine, exactly. And then a little thing pops up and it's like, do you accept these cookies? And I'm like, that's fine. And a video plays. Video plays automatically. I have to click it's genuine, exactly. And then a little thing pops up and it's like, do you accept these cookies?

And I'm like, that's fine. And a video plays. Video plays automatically. I have to click it. Oh, anyway. I hate video playing automatically. And often I don't know what tab it's in. Yeah, exactly.

Sometimes it'll wait five minutes and then it'll play. Should we add that to planetbroadcasting.com? Yeah, definitely. Just a new tab opens and it starts playing music. Yeah. Yeah, nice. Great. So these are all good things.

I agree. Great. Well, let's talk about that Avengers Endgame official image that was released it just looks like a composite it looks fake but apparently it's real yeah it's new costumes yes and new looks for a lot of the characters but it is pasted together so strangely that it looks like it's a photoshop job yes i mean it is because everything is everything ultimately is a photoshop job but there were clearly photos taken on different days and Iron Man was probably, that's just a computer image or whatever.

Yeah, for sure. They've slapped them all together. I think they all look fine individually, but as a whole, big thumbs down, Mason. There you go. Wow. Actually, I don't really. I'm indifferent.

I'm going to see the movie regardless. You're right. Do you think there are spoilers contained within this? Well, there's the thing on Black Widow's wrist that might hint to some stuff. Time travel machine? Yeah, we'll talk about it in that theories video

that's coming up. Professor Hulk? Well, you've been mentioning that a lot. I'm not shutting up about it. And I've definitely been like, yeah, maybe. Just humoring you, Mason.

I know, right? Because he is, look, we'll talk about it in the video. But he does look very Bruce Banner. He's very Bruce Banner. He's the most human-looking version of the Hulk. He doesn't have that Neanderthal look to him. Like he does look very Bruce Banner. He's very Bruce Banner. He's the most human-looking version of the Hulk.

He doesn't have that Neanderthal look to him. Like your mum, yeah. Thank you. The other thing is that... Mr. Sunday Movies, you're going to be very mean towards your friend's mothers for no reason. That'll be ongoing. It's fine. Don't even worry about it.

Apparently, the current cut of Endgame is three hours. Okay. They were talking about an intermission. Yes. I love an intermission. Yes. I love an intermission. Do you? It would harken back, Mason, for me personally, when I first saw the first Iron Man in Rome,

when I could travel, when I wasn't saddled with rocks. With family. You're with rocks and family. Family, the rocks of the relationship. With rocks and metaphorical rocks. Yeah. In Italy, they stopped and everybody went out. At what point

was there the intermission it was a halfway point I can't remember exactly but I remember thinking that's important think harder I don't remember because was it

was it an important narrative point of the movie or did they just go halfway point there we go no it was like in between a scene so it wasn't like

mid sentence from memory and is that customary for all Italian movies I don't know. I mean, I assume so. But it's also not that long.

It's not that long. That's what I thought. So we went out and, you know, I was very poor because it was 11 years ago. So I just stood in the foyer and didn't buy anything. And then we went back in and finished it. Is there a little warning chime? Like there are two minute warning or something like that when you're supposed to go back? Okay.

They shouted some things in Italian. Hey! Hey! Come and get a pizza, they said! Prego! Yeah, but I was too poor to get a pizza, Mason. Oh, wow. I couldn't get one.

Wow. Though you love a pizza in a cinema, don't you? Yes. Because you're a monster. Yes! Yes. Oh, imagine, I've just had a thought. What if one day I'm rich enough that I can just get pizza for everybody in the cinema?

Just one of the cinema employees comes in with like 30 pizzas stacked. 30 pizzas. Tiny little stacked up pizzas. So everyone gets a slice each? Nobody gets a pizza. I'm assuming. Okay, how big is this theater? I'm going on a weekday.

There's not that many people there. Okay. Yeah. So how much are those pizzas? A lot. How much are they? 14 bucks? I don't think that.

Yeah, I think something like $15 or something like that. Okay, let's say $14. Okay. That's going to cost you $420. You could do that now. I could do that now, I guess. I mean, you should because it's $420. It's $420 for people I don't know.

What am I going to appear in the local paper? Who cares? I wouldn't eat a pizza that's a stranger bought me. Really? No way. It's not like I'm bringing them in. Somebody else is bringing them in. No, I know. I get it, but I still don't want to. I just think it's a stranger bought me. Really? No way. It's not like I'm bringing them in. Somebody else is bringing them in. No, I know.

I get it. But I still don't want to. I just think it's a funny visual. He'd have 30 very narrow little pizzas in a stack. Because then afterwards, because you or she would be like this local hero. Would expect people to come up and go, thanks, man. You didn't have to do that or whatever. I'd be like, fuck off.

I don't want your pizza. Wow. It's very presumptuous of you to think I'm going to eat a pizza. I'm gluten free. You said kill me. Why don't you try to murder me with pizza? Yeah. I reject your gesture.

So if you do do it, get 29 pizzas. Okay. Yeah. You're going to be laughing on the other side of your face when you don't have a pizza. Wish you had a pizza. Cinema pizza. Get out of here. They just reheat them.

No, they don't. They make them fresh. Make them fresh. The base is already done. Well, that's true. Get out of here they just reheat them no they don't make them fresh make them fresh the base is already done well that's true get out of here anyway uh apparently the intermission is not true according to the russo brothers they have they've tested in some screenings i spoke to someone at disney uh who said that they do that they test them but they test them in-house yeah they don't get the public in they get like family of people and employees so that's why

this stuff never really leaks because you know when they test a Fox film they're like it sucks everybody hated it everybody hates

the new X-Men movies but these ones don't work that's in the press release this movie sucks but if you want to watch it come in for free yeah so

because embargoes people sign them but you can say you can just anonymously go on the internet here's a funny

little thing okay with the Captain Marvel website get over it nah but look the Captain Marvel website

when you go to it on your phone you get a little you get a little web address here and it's annihil.us yes

annihilus yes apparently that's what they use for all their Marvel stuff that what they use for all their Marvel stuff That's the code for all their things But that may even hint at a larger thing Might be a little hint

Yeah There you go That's fun The guest book does work I think I don't think it does Because the top one is like All you base belong to us

Alright I think it was that yesterday Alright okay Do you get it? Yeah I get things Yeah it's good I'm glad you do Anyway they're not doing the intermissions apparently

Apparently people Nobody got up to go to the toilet For the entire thing as i've mentioned before when i go and see a movie like this yes i don't drink from like midday upwards because i'd have to leave if it's a movie i don't care about i'll just leave i'll just go out if it's immortal engines yeah i'll leave four times wow so it's fine yeah just to stretch the old legs you know what i mean i know what you're gonna get you yeah so intermission? I know what you're going to get you so intermission or none I mean they're not doing it but what would you prefer?

also they can get in more sessions if they don't do intermission they don't do a 15 minute intermission I don't want an intermission because then you have to go back into reality and I don't want that I don't want the reality of the movie broken in the final film of this I don't want to be like halfway through

the ultimate realisation of 10 years worth of... 11. 11 years worth of movie making and just be like, hey, what do you reckon's going to happen? I don't care. I don't want your theories for the last half. Just let it play.

James. Come on, mate. I could really do with a pizza. Well, you made your choice didn't you we got 29 pizzas that's right gone uh they've also mentioned the russo brothers that they shouldn't have filmed these back to back because it's exhausting filming two three hour movies however long they are well you shouldn't knock back the pizzas the russo brothers i offered now you're tired and hungry i mean i'm glad they did it this way

because we don't have to wait two years in between. Yes, exactly. Oh, sorry, that's just my son's monitor. He had his tonsils out, everybody. It's a bloody wreck

over at the bloody house, I'll tell you that much. Yeah, yeah. And Claire's getting her teeth in tomorrow. It's all happening, mate. It's bloody,

there's medical procedures are plenty. Yeah. Well, I mean, she had to wait until you got your gallstones out I haven't done that yet

She's going to need them For the teeth Whittle them down And if there's any left you could carve one Into the shape of a sailboat What do you think though? Back to back is notoriously difficult Peter Jackson did it for three

Did it twice for two different trilogies One to great success, one to moderate success. Well, let's make it a rule. You can only do it, you should only do it once every 11 years. That's fair. Maybe that would work. Back to the Future 2 and 3 did it. That's true.

The Matrix 2 and 3 did it. Boy, there sure is some mixed results, isn't there? There really is. Yeah. Yeah. I think Avatar, they're doing all five at once. Incredible. I think James Cameron maybe mentioned this this week.

I saw headlines that were like, James Cameron says Avatar is... And I'm like, nah. Nah. Nah, absolutely not. No, thank you. But look, it's James Cameron and you never know. Sure, he's endorsed nothing but garbage. In the last...

10 years. 10 years or so, yeah. But Elite is this week. It is, yeah. And I... Look, we've been down on it a little bit. And being like, look, it's probably going to bomb, but it will probably do really well in China. Yeah.

Regardless. And also, I don't know about you, but I've rewatched some recent anime to American live action movies recently. And they're all really good. They're all bad. Yes. None are great. Correct. Some are tolerable.

Some are atrocious. Yes. But we'll get back to anime stuff, won't we? And et cetera. No, I refuse. Anything but that. I've had enough of it. You've had enough of it?

Yes. But have you had enough of this, Mason? I'm ready to hear about it. Apparently 3% of Infinity War had no visual effects. 3%? Yeah. Okay. That's not a lot is it so by process of elimination a lot of it did at least half yeah at least yeah so that's pretty good you

surprised by that no no i mean neither because i mean i mean movies these movies these days i tell you what movies these days and kids these days exactly but there. But there's no... Substitute for loneliness. Yep. Is that a song? It's a song. There's no aphrodisiac for loneliness. That's something like that. I guess because in a big blockbuster movie,

there's no scene that people won't look at and go, we could tweak that. We could tweak that somehow. We could tweak the lighting. We could tweak... The aspect ratio. The aspect ratio. We could tweak the amount of perspiration on them. We could tweak that lighting. We could tweak... The aspect ratio. The aspect ratio. We could tweak the amount of perspiration on them.

We could tweak that piece of hair. We could tweak that piece of ham. We could tweak anything, you know? Yeah, you're absolutely right. I mean... They had to get rid of a lot of ham on the set of Infinity War, yeah. Why is that?

There was too much ham. Craft services? Or was that like an early inclusion? They wanted ham in every scene. Exactly, yeah. And afterwards they went yeah this is too much ham we want no ham because thanos was going ham you know is that true yes and then they were like well we'll just make it a metaphor as opposed to literally all of that yeah mason pet cemetery has a trailer because it's the it's the week of 80s horror trailer reboots or whatever apparently it is i thought there wasn't going to be many trailers this week because of Super Bowl.

But there's heaps. There's at least three. There's heaps now. Pet Cemetery. A cat. Your cat comes back, lures your kid under a truck. That kid comes back, lures you into a fight or something.

Yep. That's the movie. They've showed us most of the movie. They kind of have, haven't they? Yeah. They've replicated the scene, I think, which I believe is from the original, where the character, who is currently played by John Lithgow

gets slashed across the back of the ankles, falls down the stairs. I have seen it, but I do not remember. Maybe that's a trope that's just been in a lot of movies. Sure, I've seen some movies. I mean, you don't want it to happen. It's not the most horrifying thing of all. Yeah, it's in Hostel, I think, as well. Oh, yeah.

I don't know. Didn't like that movie. Yeah, they really have shown us the entire movie. Yeah, that's okay because cats are notoriously scary. Everybody knows that. Yep. There's this cat, right? Sometimes my dog barks at night because I figured out why.

Because there's this cat and it just sits outside the window. And it just sits. It doesn't care. It doesn't do anything. Oh, yeah. It was sitting outside my window and I banged on the window and it didn't even flinch. Didn't turn around. That's why I can't read cats, man.

I don't know what. Yeah. Like, isn't that scary? I don't know. For a cat? Apparently not. Do you think this cat's going to get you? I don't know.

Not before I get it. I could just kick it. No, don't do that. Okay. Might have the strength of a full grown man. That's true. Actually, I won't kick it. So, look, I don't hate cats is what I'm saying.

I just don't understand them. I don't get them because I feel like most other animals would at least react. Like turn around. Sure. Or flinch. Yeah. Or just do anything. Anyway, it might have been a statue of a cat.

Yeah. Might have been a picture of a cat you cut out of a magazine and stuck on your window. But Pet Sematary, Jason Clarke is back. It was John Connor, now he's this guy. Yes. picture of a cat you cut out of a magazine and stuck on your window but pet cemetery yes jason clark is back it was john connor now he's this guy yes uh that's on the poster as well it was john connor now he's this guy and there's an arrow pointing at him so the the i think the original movie the sun dies i don't know i don't know Yeah Also don't show people The cemetery that brings Things back from the dead Don't

If someone moves Into the neighbourhood Don't show them The weird death Bring back to life cemetery Is what I'm saying I mean I guess But my

I guess my question is Is there nothing else to do? Having not seen the original Why don't all the pets Come back then? Maybe they have Oh I don't know

Don't like that We'll do it again for something okay sure we'll watch it and find out the answers to this or someone will email in and tell us the answers i agree with you on that but i mean it shouldn't be cool i mean and also what bugs me about it is if this thing's been here for decades why has nobody corrected the spelling on the on the sign take the sign off put a new sign on i agree why isn't that why isn't the local council put a nice printed metal sign up you know yes i agree with you yeah yeah good lord uh we also had a shaft trailer we did have a shaft sequel to the originals but also the samuel jackson one uh this new shaft he's not a patch on previous show no he's a real

beta male isn't he yes he is until he learns to shoot a gun and please a lady or whatever's happening in this. I'd imagine that with the older Shaft, the grandpa Shaft, original Shaft, he's like, you were just like that when you were a kid, Samuel L. Jackson or whatever. Yeah, right, right. And you learned to Shaft. Yeah, that's right. It's not something that's in you. You can learn it.

That's right. Yeah. This looks, I know people are kind of like, this looks shit. I'm like, this looks all right. It's leaning towards, it seems to be very self-referential and silly. It's not going to be the 90s or early 2000s grim version with Christian Bale as a psychopath and whatever else happened in that movie. Yes.

A lot of racism. A lot of racism. There'll be less of that, I think. Yeah. So, yeah lot of racism. A lot of racism, but there'll be less of that, I think. Yeah, so, yeah, whatever. I like seeing the older two, the last two, versus the Shaft. I'm not so sure about this new one, because we don't know him,

I don't recognise him from anything, but hey, the worst that can happen is that it's an okay or bad film. Yep. And then there'll be a different film the next week, and we'll barely reference it again. That's true. That is the worst thing we'll barely reference it again that's true that is the worst thing that happened

yes that's right another worst thing a meteorite strikes the earth and we all die that's bad too isn't it yeah and we're in the cinema watching a bad version of Shaft

at the same time you know oh boo yeah we also have a working title for the next Terminator film Terminator 3

slash Terminator 6 okay I'm ready to hear it Terminator Dark Fate. All right. It's okay. It's okay, yeah. My judgment day is better. So it was no fate.

Remember there was that poem or whatever that Kyrie recounted to Sarah? That beat poet. The piece of beat poetry that he did, yeah. Exactly, yes. Sarah, if you wouldn't mind, and she's like... Future! Flying chips, too many. It's okay.

I mean, it's a working title. What do you think? It's probably going to be what they end up going with. His piece of poetry has clues on how to defeat the Terminator. And if only she listened, you know. Doesn't that poem also change moving a movie? I think it probably does. Yeah.

Yeah. There was an era when everything was dark, this, dark't it sure was dark angels dark angel uh star trek into darkness all those other things uh look whatever okay james cameron also said that uh he's looking at alien 3 alien 5 the era is that's bad is it no it's the entire existence of the human race okay great yeah just the word dark and things i get you uh zero dark 30 yes seen it no it's all right okay so alien 3 alien 5 uh james cameron is apparently looking at it the neil blomkamp version okay he's now doing the robocop yeah right it's the only thing i want to see out of that franchise except maybe a good video game but that's hang on what are we

talking about the other what do you want to say alien alien the new new alien yeah i want to see one with ripley and Hicks and just discount all the other crap. Would you be okay with them recasting all the main players? No. I think you could do it like Force Awakens or Shaft. Yeah, right. And then bring everybody back.

Because Sigourney Weaver appears to be, as I understand, she's notoriously unreliable in terms of doing a sequel. Well, unreliable is not the right word. It's just that she's been burned so many times with sequels. And they'll be like, wasn't it... Alien 4 is a mess because she initially wasn't going to be in it. And then...

So they wrote it without her. And then she was like, okay, I will be in it. So they rewrote it back in. And 3 was the same as well, I think. And she was going to be in a little bit. And there's currently a comic running which tells the original script of the Alien 3 or whatever. So I guess

it's, but doesn't it feel like a real shot in the dark if she's actually going to be in this? Yes. Shot in the dark. I think she's keen though. As far as I can tell. And there's a whole bunch of concept art and Michael Biehn is keen. Michael Biehn is keen. Okay that's pretty good. It was huge, man.

I also don't, I can't get a handle, I guess maybe because she doesn't do a lot of interviews, I can't get a handle on Sigourney Weaver's motivation. You know what I mean? Like because... I don't know, it's just... Like why does she do it? Why does she do... Or not do things.

Or what projects does she get involved in and not get involved in? Yeah, right. You know, because she was in... She's rich, so she's just like whatever... guess that's true i mean she was in the defenders she was in the ghostbusters reboot for two seconds yeah like what and i like i kind of like you know she was in chappy was she yeah she's the boss of you jackman she's like there's too many robots you jackman i don't remember that at all not really no i'll look up her recent biography okay great um yeah so you don't know what she does things for. Well, I guess, yeah, I mean, yeah.

I guess, I mean, she is rich. That's a good point. So, you know, she's at that stage where she only does stuff that interests her or has a decent script. Oh, she's in the new avatars, even though she died. See? Or whatever. I guess she's friends with James Cameron.

That's right. Or is she? Aliens. She's in Finding Dory as herself. Okay. Monster Calls. Chappie. Yep.

Exodus Gods and Kings. I haven't seen that one yet. Oh, man. What a world. I love everything about entertainment. I think maybe it's just a function of her not doing a lot of interviews. Yeah, you're probably right. I think when I see a Bruce Willis or something like that, I'm like, oh, yeah.

The money. Also, she was born in 1949. She's like, I'm just kind of, you know. Yeah born in 1949 she's like i'm just gonna you know yeah i've just survived the blitz come on give me a break yeah 1949 yeah good for her thank you being born in that year she looks great she does look great uh world war z 2 that's definitely off it's done it's done okay it was david fincher was doing it with Bradley Pitt. It's not happening anymore. Okay. Do you care? No.

Okay. Well, Fincher would have made it a movie. Interesting. Yeah. I believe so. I guess that movie did have some interesting sequences in it. You know, that final sequence where Brad Pitt's got to do a little sneaky sneak through the facility. He has a Pepsi.

Yeah, he has a Pepsi and sneaks through the facility. Yeah, that was fun. Okay. Yeah. There's some good stuff in that movie. You know what? It's one of the few examples where it was an absolute

nightmare of a film and they reshot the entire ending and whatever and it turned out okay. Oh, I see. Right, right, right. Because that really happened

and it was a success. It did reasonably well. Do you know why they reshot it? Because people weren't happy with it? or something. Okay, right.

Apparently they end up in Russia. I can't remember. Okay. Yeah, I'm just excited for World War Z 2. No, wait. It's cancelled. So that's good.

Last bit of news. Bob Iger had a shareholders call this week. People were thinking there was going to be a Star Wars title reveal. The rumor is Balance of the Force. Okay. You okay with that? If that's true or not true?

Sure. There was that concept art. We talked about it briefly before the show with some people who were in it. It's very blurry. It's very blurry. Lando looks good.

Okay, great. And Rey's wearing white or whatever. So yeah, let me get a clearer look at it. Well, isn't that a clue? Light side? Yeah, but Luke was wearing black

at the start of Return of the Jedi. Oh, that's true. Yeah, but maybe it was just slimming. Yeah, it's true. You know what I mean? Yeah. You've got to be confident

to wear white. Yeah. You know got to be confident to wear white. You know what I mean? I'm confident. Because I know you wear white jeans. You have been known to wear white jeans. I won't wear a white jean because I'll just get a handprint on it, my own. Yeah, right. I'm just always covered in Vegemite and glue.

That's true, yeah. But your famous sticky Vegemite sandwiches. Yeah, you like them. I do, yeah. Thank your famous sticky Vegemite sandwiches. Yeah, you like them. I do, yeah. Thank you for your sacrifice. No problem. But the other thing was that apparently they're going to continue to make R-rated films for Marvel.

Marvel, okay, yes. Which is good, I guess. Well, that's a broad statement. We've decided as the film industry we're going to keep making R-rated films, but Disney specifically. Yeah, which makes sense. I mean, that's the result of Deadpool, obviously. Yeah, for sure.

So that's good that they're still going forward with those. And the other thing is he said he was okay with licensing out to EA for the video games. Still? Still. Is that because he doesn't know anything about video games? I believe so, yeah. I have to be. Also, you're on a shareholders meeting.

You're not going to be like, yeah, we fucked that up. Because he also said something interesting. He said The Last Jedi was like a huge financial success. And it was. But he didn't also acknowledge that a lot of people did not like it. Yeah. And that maybe it contributed to some of the hate towards solar when the smaller numbers. Not all of it, but I don't doubt that it contributed somewhat to it.

Yeah. So it's a shareholders call. You're not going to be like yeah we made some mistakes let me tell you we made some big old mistakes but it's look

whatever happens it's going to be a huge year for Disney this year because they've got no Nutcracker and the Four Realms or any of those movies so yeah

they'll be fine yeah but what about the people who are just staying home in anticipation of the release of another Nutcracker movie Nutcracker 2 still cracking

still cracking get crack another Nutcracker movie. Nutcracker 2 still crackin'. Still crackin', get crackin'. Nutcracker 2, get crackalackin'. What was interesting about the EA thing was, though, they said they were still going to license to third-party developers, which I don't mind, but maybe also license to some other third-party developers, because you can.

Other than EA. Yes. Yeah. So he said that they're not good at making video games which may or may not be true i don't know i didn't play epic mickey or its sequel yeah okay mason yes we're finally here to talk about anime adaptations western anime adaptations we're only doing live action ones I think this might be all of them All of the mainstream ones

Depends how many we can think of I guess I went through the Wikipedia What else do people want of us? I hope they don't expect more than that People don't do they? We're the only two people who have access to Wikipedia So how else would they get that information? They couldn't simply go to Wikipedia now

and look up Western live-action remakes of anime. And even though it's really good that the people who run that do run it for just us. Yeah. I never donate. I never do it. I'm donating $7 million a year. No wonder you can't afford to buy pizzas

from people in the cinemas. Okay, so let's start with The Guyver. I haven't seen this one. I've seen clips of this. I've seen both. There are two. Did you know that? Like a sequel?

There's two. The Guyver came out in 91, I believe. Yeah. So this is right. This is peak. I think this is when they were looking for superhero stuff. Yeah, right. Because this is post-Batman 1989.

Yes. So I think they would like, okay, we need anything that's a man in a big rubbery suit fighting evil. We need some of that. What is this? You've mentioned it before. Yeah. I've seen one horrifying scene with Mark Hamill,

which we'll get to. So, yeah. Well, what's interesting is these movies have two the first one's from 1991 there's a sequel which came in in maybe 93 or 94

called Guyver Dark Hero what's interesting is that well Mark Hamill's in the first one yep but the second one the guy who plays

the actor who played the Guyver is recast okay through a Dark Man 2 situation it really is but the actor who played the Guyver is recast. Okay. Through a Darkman 2 situation. It really is. But the actor who played the Guyver in the sequel

is David Hayter, who most people will know. The president. Exactly. In 24. No, that's Dennis Haysbert. Oh, yeah. David Hayter is a voice actor. He's probably best known as being Solid Snake

in the Metal Gear Solid series. He moved away from acting, live action for the most part, I think, to focus on voice work. So that's where you know him from. And then he got done by Kiefer Sutherland, also from 24. Yes, that's right. Oh, really? Okay, that's interesting.

So did you see both of these recently? No. No, I saw them on probably VHS back in the day. I recently re-watched some clips because I'm like, if we're going to be talking about this, I should get back into the groove. I also watched some clips. The second one is probably significantly better than the first one. I feel the draw card for the first one is Mark Hamill.

Yeah. But you don't have to watch the first one. I feel the second one is gorier and the suit looks better. It's a real Robocop 2 situation. What's the premise of this, the Gaiva? The premise basically is there's a corporation called Cronus. Okay.

In the anime, it's called Cronus and in the movie, it's called Cronus. It doesn't matter. It's Cronos. Cronut. Yeah, it's the Cronut corporation right and they're they're they're using the profits from inventing a brand new pastry treat yes they're funneling it into weapon systems but basically uh there are there you think they're like an earth-based

corporation but they're actually they're aliens and they've come down to i don't know take over the world or something and some of them good, they're all bad. But they release... Yeah, I know, exactly. But in the anime, they release... They lose track of these three Gaiva units, which are like these little... They look like landmines, and they bond with a human in a symbiote style.

Oh, like a mech, the Predator suit. Like a mech, the Predator suit, exactly. And one gets in the hands of a like a high school student okay and and the other two could sort of go missing for a while and basically he decides to do some superheroing but they want to get it back obviously so they have their own the guy the suits or is there only the three uh there are only the three i believe but then they send in a variety of i think they're called zoonoids they're like uh and they send in a variety of you know think they're called zoonoids. They're like, and they send in a variety of, you know, horrific monsters that of course he has to deal with.

In the anime, he has to deal, you know, every episode he has to deal with a gigantic monster that can produce big blades or enzymes that can melt his suit or whatever. And it sounds like something that would translate really well to live action. No. The second one's way gory, if I recall.

In the opening of the first one, he like slits a guy's the in the at the in the opening of the first one he like slits a guy's throat in the first five minutes i think okay the the best part about the first one having re-watched some of it recently is that when obviously you know obviously he gets he gets the um he gets the the he's a high school student and he gets the the guy the thing and he's like i don't know you know he's just he's he's a normal guy and obviously he has to trigger this transformation the guy but and so he's accosted by like this unbelievably stereotypical like hispanic gang yes well it's sort of it's not exclusively hispanic but like they're all dressed like you know they've got the they've got the flannel shirt buttoned up to the top button and they've got the bandanas they're all holding their guns sideways

They've got the flannel shirt buttoned up to the top button. I love it. And they've got the bandanas and they're all holding their guns sideways. And like, and they harass him and then he turns into the guy when he beats them all up. But it was just so... Sounds like a real Suburban Commando situation. It's just... Sounds like a real The Green Lantern situation where he gets accosted in the alley. Exactly, yeah, yeah.

To get a pilot or whatever. It's just what though? I've lost my train of thought. It's good. They're so, no, they. No, they're not good. They're not. Explain to me. I think I would have loved them back in the day though.

I think immediately post Batman. Because there's nothing else. Exactly. I love Suburban Commando. Okay, explain to me the scene where Mark Hamill turns into a giant cockroach. He gets better eventually. What? Yeah.

Doesn't he die after that? I think they bring him back to life. I feel confident they bring him back to life. It's pretty fucking horrific as well. Even now, I'm like, whoa, this is a lot. It's also weird because it's Mark Hamill. I'm like, this is Luke Skywalker turning into a cockroach. Yeah, this was...

Was it a virus? Can I look it up? I'll find out. I can't remember. Let's find out. Yeah, it's really quite graphic a virus? Can I look it up? I'll find out. I can't remember. Let's find out. Yeah, it's really quite graphic. And it's really well done. It's a bit kind of The Fly-esque.

Yeah, right. In the transformation. Yeah. Were you impressed by what you saw? Yeah. It's not all like that. Oh. He's experimented on and he's transformed into one of these zoonoids.

Yeah. Which is your... Your alien. Your alien cockroach situation. CIA agent, it says here. That's correct, yes. Uh-huh. experimented on and he's transformed into one of these zoonoids yeah which is your yeah alien yeah alien cockroach situation agent it says that's correct yes uh-huh i don't think it's worth a watch though i agree uh-huh because otherwise i'll watch the whole thing i feel like i saw enough with the scene where he turns into a cockroach i don't think you need anything else yeah right yeah do you want to move on to the next one yes old. Old Boy. You seen it? I haven't seen it, no. You seen either? I haven't seen either version, no.

Okay. It's quite good. Yes. The sequel, not sequel, the remake by Spike Lee. Okay. Black Klansman, another great film. Another not as great films. It's horrible.

It's a horrible film. Josh Brolin is, I guess, okay. You get, okay. I don't want to get too much into it. If you want to watch a good video on why this is not good, Your Movie Sucks did a whole, he did an extended kind of piece on why this doesn't work comparatively to the first.

Another thought I had about the Guyver, just before we move on, is that the Guyver is much like a video game boss in the sense that he has a weak spot. His ears. No, it's the control device in the centre of his forehead. Oh, that's a bad spot, isn't it? It's a's a bad spot right yeah yeah at the end of the second one he fights a guy who is who has acquired the second guy for unit so it's guy it's mutated it's guy versus mutated

yeah obviously and you know he defeats him just by pulling the thing out of his head but in the first one if i remember correctly he headbutts a dude and that damages the control unit in his head. Like what's... At least put it on the back of his head. Put it on the back of his head. It's ridiculous. Or under your arm or something. Under your arm, exactly.

In case somebody goes for the tickle, then you'd be in trouble. Then you're in big trouble. Yeah, yeah. Anyway, old boy. Tell me about old boy. So basically, it's about... People probably know this, but the story of... It's probably more well-known than the Guyver, I'd imagine.

Definitely, yeah. It's a man and he's just kind of a schlubby kind of drunken fool and he for some reason he gets kidnapped and he's in prison for I think it's like something like 20 years. In just an apartment. Yeah just an apartment and he's fed the same dumplings every

day. Nice. Depending on the version he's depending different food but in the live action original it's dumplings. So he obviously hates dumplings by the end action original version. It's dumplings. Dumplings. So he obviously hates dumplings by the end. And so. Well, I'd never get tired of dumplings.

So lucky for some of them, all right? He doesn't know why he's there. What does Josh Brolin get? He gets a variety of Asian cuisines. Really? He doesn't get some sort of all American thing? Well, it's weird. He doesn't get hungry man TV dinners or something? It's weird because you see him being like sick of the food,

but he gets a variety of food. Yeah. So you wouldn't be like, I'm sick of this. You'd be like, oh. So it's a V for metadata situation where we're in the movie version of that. People are like, we're tired of living in this fascist society. Oh, that fascist society where you all live in a nice apartment, you have a big TV and everything's great.

Huh, interesting. And you get firework shows every now and then. And you eat eggy in a basket or whatever it's called. That's right. Eggy in bread. Yeah. Eggy boys in bread. We call them bullseyes in Australia.

What you do, you take two slices of bread, you put in some cheese in the middle, you cut a hole in it, you put it on, you butter both sides, you put it in a pan, you crack an egg into it, bit of all spice seasoning, you flip it over,

make sure you get both sides, cut it in half, triangles probably, and you give that a munch, mate. Doesn't that damage the egg if you cut it in half? It's supposed to damage it, but of all spice seasoning. You flip it over and make sure you get both sides. Cut it in half, triangles probably. And you give that a munch, mate. Doesn't that damage the egg if you cut it in half? It's supposed to damage it, but the egg's cooked. Yeah, no, I get it. You don't get it. Don't like it.

What do they call it in the movie? Egg in a basket. Egg in a basket. But apparently not a thing. No. So anyway, he's then released all of a sudden and it's about him trying to figure out what's happened to him. And he befriends this younger girl

and they have a relationship or whatever. Are you familiar with the ending? Yes, I am. Yeah. Oh, should I spoil it? Ah, yes. Okay. So basically he ends up sleeping with this person

and it turns out that the girl he slept with was his daughter, his biological daughter. And then he cuts out his own tongue and he's mortified and whatever. It was all an elaborate because the dude the dude who did it was it's depending on the version because he shamed him or whatever when he was younger when he was at school and whatever anyway the american version hits all those beats but not well like at all right and one of the most famous sequences i

would argue that neither of them hit the well because it's a really disturbing story. It's horrible. It's a horrible, horrible premise. But there's a sequence where he fights a bunch of dudes in a hallway with a hammer. If you haven't seen the movie, you've probably seen that scene, at least on YouTube. They do a similar thing in the new one. And it's nowhere near as close or shot as well or as visually interesting.

Also, in the first one, the guy, he is quite heavy at the start and then he loses the weight in this one. Josh Brolin is just kind of bloated. And then, and then he's just not as bloated 20 years later. Also, he mostly just looks the same.

It's supposed to be like 20 years. So he's supposed to be like 25 and then he's 45, but he just looks the same role. And it's just, it's, it's not, it's horrible. And it also feels like it was just like a Spike Lee, they were like, Spike Lee will give you this amount of money, will you make it?

And he's like, yeah. Yeah, I'll make a Spike Lee joint. Why wouldn't I? Let's do this. I think Spike Lee, obviously, the movies that he's more passionate about are better. Huh, interesting. Yeah, interestingly.

I mean, Black Klansman's been nominated or whatever, but no, I don't think you need to watch the original if you're interested in... So this was based on an anime or a manga? I believe so, yeah. One of those things. Or a mango. I'm sure...

Yeah, it's based on a mango. Someone carved the story into a fruit. Yeah, it didn't last very long because it's a mango. Yeah, for sure. Somebody ate that delicious mango. Yeah. I should look that up. Please.

Because... Because if it's not based on an anime, it's going in the bin. It's delicious manga. Yeah. I should look that up. Please. Because... Because if it's not based on an anime, it's going in the bin. It's a manga, sorry. I apologise. Just watch the Hammer scene, I guess. Of the original, not of the... Of the original, yeah. Yeah, okay.

Okay, but if you had to watch a scene from the new version, because we're talking about Western adaptations. Okay. The new version? Yes. There's a very funny scene, and this is, again, in the Your Movie Sucks version, where a dad goes through and he shoots everybody,

shoots his family with a shotgun, and it's just so bizarre. Wait, who shoots who? The villain's dad. Yes. And he just goes through, and he's just shooting everybody in his family, and it's unintentionally comical

huh it's very bizarre for what what what purpose it's is this after he's imprisoned the guy no this is this is the dad yeah after he was in prison no it's a flashback to when he was a kid because his dad shot him because there was a weird relationship in the family like the dad was abusive and whatever and that is pretty weird if your dad shot you that would be a weird relationship with me not that part i mean prior to that it was also much weirder okay right prior to that it was all sunshine and roses yeah what do you want to talk about next though mason uh in terms of we could do ghost in the shell oh yeah yeah that's just popped up on australian netflix i might give it a re-watch it's pretty dull isn't it i don't know but i could watch individual scenes i guess i was really looking forward to the bit where she fights the tank yes and it's just not

very interesting no it's the spider tank no you're right that's what i thought would be interesting you are correct that is true i think it does some like i know this is probably this is heresy but i think it's it's very interesting to see some of the scenes remade in live action yeah they've actually pulled them off quite well there's a scene where she she chases that there's a guy who's been his mind's been altered and he's and he's she has to chase him down in the city and he's shooting at her and and she's turned invisible and the invisible effect is terrible though it could be worse and specifically in the episode mentioned how terrible it is yeah it's not bad no it's bad oh it is bad no you're right it is yeah it could be bad no it's bad oh it is bad no you're right

it is yeah it could be worse that's what i'm saying okay but but that just that scene replicated in live action i think they pulled it off quite well yeah so it was interesting to see that but it's just a very you're right it has a softer finale for some reason it has a not a significantly less impact. Yeah. It's very strange. And the characters are less engaging. And I know she's a robot, but I don't really... Well, it's not a robot.

She's got a human brain or whatever, and she's really Japanese or whatever. Yes. From all of those things. Yeah, they put in the loophole of, well, she was originally Japanese. Yeah. And then when her body was...

When they gave her the robot suit. When they gave her the robot suit, it looked like Scarlett Johansson. When maybe Michael Keaton gave her the robot suit. I don't remember who gave her the robot suit. I looked like Scarlett Johansson. When maybe Michael Keaton gave her the robot suit. I don't remember who gave her the robot suit. I don't think it was Michael Keaton. I think I'm thinking of the Robocop reboot. You're thinking of the Robocop reboot?

Yeah. Okay, I do like the opening. Hey, it's me, actor Michael Keaton. I work for the Japanese police department in the future now, which I call the present because here we are in the present. Anyway, I got you a new robot suit. Do you want it? Do you want it? Do you want it?

It's like when American movie stars do ads in Japan. Yeah. Except he signed the wrong contract, and now he has to work in Japan giving robot suits to former dead people who now have to work for the police. Do you think when people make those ads, because a lot of them are from the 90s and the early 2000s, they didn't think they'd ever cross the shore? Yes, absolutely.

I don't think they've... Because there's normally somebody screaming into the camera about a soda brand while stars fly by them or something. Yeah. Yeah. No, I absolutely think they were like, well, nobody could imagine technology where that is.

And I guess because, you know, Japan is kind of insular in that way. I think they were like, well... Less so now. Yeah, but I think they were like... Less so now. Yeah, but I think they're like, well, my secret's safe with them, I think. The whole of Japan have got to be covered. And it just took one American tourist...

One weeaboo. Yeah, to just pop over there and just turn the TV on and go, oh my God, and then just stare at the TV for the remainder of the day. They went down the road and they bought a very advanced video camera and they just stared at the TV all day until the George Clooney coffee ad came back on or whatever.

I mean, he does coffee ads now, so it's less. It's not so much the products, it's the way that they're delivered. What are we talking about? Ghost in the Shell. I mean, we did an episode on it. People can definitely go back and listen to that. But yeah, especially because blade runner

came out that same year that's true yeah which had something to say it had something to say and visually i you know because you because you look at the the original ghost in the shower it's spectacular obviously for multiple reasons and they kind of mimic some dubbing's bad though so bad dubbing's bad yeah but i don't think at all I think maybe because I was I felt like this the live version the dialogue was delivered in a much more

naturalistic way and I was and I could ease into it a bit better I think it had I think it had its pros and cons yeah a lot of them

it's pretty whatever I said last time I probably stand by some of it agreed but a lot of this stuff is just rushed and they're just reading lines and they don't know

the context of whatever so you know. I get it. I get things. Yeah. So it's just not, like you said, it's not that interesting a premise or they don't translate the premise very well or what it is to be human. And I was this and now I'm a different thing. And does it change me and whatever?

And all of those things that happen. I do like the opening scene where they're building. That is said verbatim in that voice. Yes, that's right. What is it meant to be human? Another thing. They said Michelle. They're building the robot body at the start and it starts with the brain

and the body gets built around it and whatever. I think that scene's really quite good and the music's really good. Yes. And we got some scenes which I believe are from Stand complex which was this tv series sequel okay there's the scene where uh there's some robot geishas and stuff like that i think that that is scuttering about yeah i didn't mind that bit either yeah okay it's good it's a good movie it is a great movie it's probably the best one on this list it may very well be yeah it is although i have a soft spot for one of them

which i recently saw okay which I'm sure you hate no doubt I'm sure we'll get to it at some point maybe we'll see I think you know

what I'm talking about we might save it until the finale because I would like to discuss it in depth okay cool why don't we do one that you've only seen

and then we'll do one that I've only seen okay cool Fist of the North Star I think I've seen Fist of the North Star 1995's own yes

it's so oily. What is this? I can't remember. I'm going to look up who the main actor is. But the villain is Costas Mandilor. Who is that? He's an Australian actor. But he's probably best known.

There was like a whimsical small town TV series called Picket Fences. I remember Picket Fences. And he's one of the cops in that. I know him. It was him and Lauren Holly were like a cop. They were the only two cops in town of this quaint little town and also just crazy, just funny little whimsical things happen. It was an X-Files crossover.

Anyway, Costas Mandalore is in that. And he's also like a sweaty shirtless villain in this. Okay, right. And it's basically. There's some people in this thatless villain in this. Okay, right. And it's basically... There's some people in this that are... Like Malcolm McDowell's in it. Sure are. Chris Penn.

Chris Penn is in it. Is he dead? Yeah, he died. Okay, yeah. Clint Howard's in it. Yeah, Chris Penn is in it. The guy played Rufio from Hook is in it. Oh, Chris Penn's character wears like an elaborate leather strip mask around his face.

Love it. wears like an elaborate leather strip mask around his face love it and he's he's this horrible horrible monster of a man and at the end he's like the costas mandalore is fighting the hero in one room right they're having a costas mandalore's in virtuosity oh is he of course he is it's also 1995 yeah right that well this this was his year to break break big you know absolutely anyway in one scene the the hero and the villain are having their their spectacular kung fu battle in one scene and like the love interest is fighting sean penn uh chris penn's character in the other room and he's about to get the better of her and kill her and you know and then they're gonna he's gonna go and tell the hero that he's killed the love interest or whatever but then he gets once the

one of the leather strips on his on his uh comes off and he gets caught in some gears. And it peels all the leather binding off his head. And that was the only thing keeping the pressure of his head down. And so his head explodes. Actually explodes. Yes. It's great. How does it look?

Bad. Because Fist of the North star the the anime version i can't speak to the manga version because i didn't read it but the anime version was part of the first wave of anime that we got in australia and it was the ones that were selected to be released in the western world i think will mark it like they were incredible they're all incredibly gory okay and fist of the north star basically kenshiro who's the the main hero oh the mullet on the lead yeah so so kenshiro's ability is that he is the master of this particular martial art where he can like give you a little tappy tap and then your head explodes yes or he gives you a little tappy tap and like all your veins burst or whatever he's one of those guys and he'd already done it to the guy with tape

around his head his head exploded no his head Because it was just like, I'll just use electrical tape. Oh, maybe it was. Maybe it's, yeah. There's some holdovers from the anime that go to the movie. Like there's a scene in one episode of the anime where, you know, one of the villains comes up to Kenshiro and he's like, I'm going to use this technique on you. You won't be able to withstand this technique.

And he gives him this little tap on the sides of the head with his thumbs. And then Kenshiro walks away and the guy's like, I'm going to count down. The villain's like, I'm going to count down till 10 and then you're going to die kind of thing. And then Kenshiro walks away. And the guy hasn't mastered the art,

so his own head explodes. And there's a similar version to that in, in the movie, except Ken Shiro comes up to this dude and gives him like this, this unbelievably unrealistic pantomime, like hundred hand tap to every point on his body. And the guy doesn't stop him at any point. No.

And he, cause it's like, it's like being slapped with a feather duster. It was just like, and then he walks away and the guy explodes. It's pretty. This is like the five point exploding heart thing. Yes,

exactly. Yeah. Maybe this, this is where Tarantino cribbed it from. I don't know. Okay. But it's, the martial arts is actually not that bad.

Okay. I have to say. How's Costas Mandalore's martial arts? Pretty good. Yeah. Pretty. He doesn't get any of the high kicks. Sorry,

I'm going to look up the main guy because maybe he had a career in something. His name is... I would be willing to bet something Daniels. Gary Daniels. Gary Daniels, the host. Oh, his name's Kenshiro in it. Yeah, it is Kenshiro, yeah. Even though he's an English actor and retired professional in amateur kickboxing.

There we go. Okay, yep. If I had to guess, if anybody was a martial artist in that movie, I would have said it was him. Okay. So his martial artist is good, but everything else is not as good. Yeah. Great. And there's also the final battle is one of those turnarounds

where Costas Mandalore gets him and he hits him with the incredible martial arts, super advanced martial arts technique, and all the blood sprays out of, this was a big era for like, Blood spraying everywhere all the time. Just imagine you were the guy that specialised in that. You were the special effects guy in your, and you were like,

yeah, I'm pretty good with spraying blood out of torn arteries. The economy was recovering after the crash of 89. Exactly. Yeah. You could do these things. Exactly. And so, you know, he gets him on the ground and he gives him the tap

and like all his veins burst and all his blood sprays out of his arms. Does it look good or does it just look like a man who's just got a whole bunch of blood pipes in him? Yeah, it looks like that. Good. Like a Monty Python skit. Then he hits the ground and then Kostas...

Oh, and also, yeah, Kostas Mandela was like... That's his full name. It's a great name, isn't it? It's a world-class name. They're fighting and he's like, Oh, yeah, your girlfriend, she's dead. And the man, Kenshiro's like, and then he, you know,

it's one of those moments where, and then he just lays into him. He does all the things. It's so good. But anyway, he gets him on the ground and the blood's spraying out and then he's just like, then he just gets up

and now he's 10 times more powerful. You know, it's one of those. It's that turnaround. It's a Street Fighter ending. It's a Street Fighter ending. It's a Street Fighter ending, exactly. I love it. Okay, that sounds like a good movie. I'm going to learn some facts about it.

Malcolm McDowell's in this movie. I think you mentioned that earlier. Yes. He's doing Tank Girl. He's riding high off that, obviously. Yeah, yeah. Star Trek Generations. The 90s were a big era for Malcolm McDowell.

Yeah, they were, weren't they? He was doing okay. Is this one you'd say go back to, though? No, it's a dull watch it's dull sounds like there's a lot of good exploding stuff it was dull at the time yeah so i cannot imagine it being good you remember it vividly you don't remember your schooling i know right but you remember everything about because i think i was big on this sort of stuff yeah right and there wasn't a lot And there wasn't a lot of it. And there wasn't a lot of it, yeah.

Yeah, that's true. You've got to get it from the video store and watch it a whole bunch of times. You ain't wrong. Well, while you're looking at that, do you want to quickly talk about Death Note? Yes. You haven't seen Death Note? The remake. No, I haven't, no.

See, I haven't seen the original Death Note or read. And the reason I haven't is I should go go back because I haven't because I know the story and look a lot of people hate this and it's not great but I think I've said this before on this show watching it it feels like a summation of a much better story like I'm like there's some

very interesting ideas in this story right does it feel like you were supposed to be watching it having already watched the original or read the original yeah it's not you don't get lost but it feels like there's a lot in it and they brush over a lot of stuff for those who don't know by the way there's a lot of people who love anime and manga who are listening to this or screaming stop listening already we apologize we're not experts on this or harry potter or anything really but yeah so it's a it's it's a kid who gets given a book and anybody who writes in the book

dies but he's given it to him by a demon yes the demon's a pretty bad bloke or he's just doing his job he's just being a demon or whatever uh it's voiced by willem defoe and the demon in the movie looks quite good it's like a cgi kind of thing or maybe it's a puppet i have seen snippets yeah and it's it's a pretty i mean it's a very visually compelling design outside of the live-action movie. But they've translated it really well. And so this guy, the main guy, decides that he's going to use this book to rid the world of crime and evil and what have you.

But in doing so, some people who are close to him use it for personal gain. And then the world's greatest detective. Batman. Batman. Wow. Yeah, he's onto him. And he figures out, he Yeah, he's onto him. And he figures out,

he has, who's never revealed his name, so you can't write his name in the book. Yeah, right. Goes after this guy and he narrows this kid down to the school that he's at and figures it out. So there's a lot of stuff in it that's like, wow, this is really, this is an interesting premise told not very well.

If you were not aware that that was based on something else, would you still feel that way, do you think? Yeah, it still feels a bit lacking. Okay. Yeah. I mean, that being said, I don't know, because I knew it was based on something going into it. Did you enjoy it?

I didn't hate it. Okay. But I think that's also because I hadn't seen, everybody who has seen the original hates this. So I think I'm going to outlie there, because who would watch this and not watch the other one a lunatic yeah right idiot or someone who doesn't have access to it yes it's probably there's a who doesn't have crunchy crunchy rolls can we get crunchy roll people have tweeted at us and been like do you want to do you want some

crunchy roll credits and i'm like i don't know what that means i think we can get it here i'm fairly confident it's on the internet yeah i was gonna do i was there was a point where i was gonna do a sponsored video for it but it never came through so i was interested to check it out because they were gonna give you money yeah because they're gonna give me money but also there's stuff on there that i've never seen that i'm gonna give you money in kenshiro plush dolls you squeeze them and blood comes out because i remember seeing this stuff of the original stuff the animated stuff on the shelf as a kid but i didn't i don't know what any of it is i don't know whether any of its sequels or yeah right it's like i don't even i didn't even know where

to start with this stuff yeah i'm at the local video store it was just kind of a blockbuster or whatever nobody there knows anything exactly you know it's just a forward mom behind the camera and it's often difficult because it's very it's quite rarely i think that they'll just go okay well it's it's this series and then it's this series two. It's, you know... And also series two is often missing. Yeah, right. Or you can only rent like four episodes at a time. Yeah, yeah. Like I went in, again,

I think we've talked about Gundam in the past. Like I have no idea where to start with that. Gundam style, yeah. And there's even people even emailed in and were like, you should start with this series. And other people, and we mentioned that on the show, and other people emailed in and went, don't start with that series, you idiots.

So if the fans can't agree on what series to start with, how are we some little lads at the video store? We don't even know. Yeah. I guess just at the start, just at the first one. First one. But oftentimes people are like, don't. They don't even need to.

Exactly. They haven't gotten in their groove with the first one so skip the first one yeah especially when stuff is from the 80s you watch it

and you're like oh this is slow so you stop yeah I think we got an email this week somebody said do we want

have we ever watched Full Metal Alchemist no I watched the first episode and I couldn't get on board with it because you loved it so much it was too much

of a visual treat it's not how that works no I would have said that if that were true I can't believe you found it that compelling I didn't though you're gonna go back to it you'll have to because you loved it everybody said every i what what am i doing here now i'm currently watching

it on my phone uh i don't know people everybody says it's good maybe should i people listening should i give it how many episodes should i give it four ten ten ninety ninety episodes wow there's also a sequel i think called full metal alchemist brotherhood should i watch that one instead what should i watch fight about it fight about it in the comments and emails oh that's good stuff yeah anyway death note is an interesting idea it did not great film would you say it's the best one thus far bearing in mind you haven't seen the ones that I've mentioned no I think

Ghost of the Shell is probably better yeah right yeah is that just because you like a sci-fi environment more than you like a fantasy environment maybe it is Death

Note maybe you're right hmm anyway this next one is better than all of them disagree we're gonna do a caravan of garbage on it but Dragon Ball Evolution

oh that's the one I wanted to talk to you about oh you want to do that last thing no I don't mind i don't mind we'll do speed racer first okay let's do speed racer we can do it really quickly speed racer is so bright and so dull weird right bright physically dull content wise yes it's not appealing a lot of people like it yeah well because when i mentioned on twitter that i was watching it i got about a half an hour in i couldn't finish it. And I paid for it.

I paid money. And even then I'm like, I'm throwing this money away now. I'm okay with it. But you've still got it there just in case, right? No, I rented it. No, but you've got like another 24 hours to keep watching it. I think it's done by now. I'm not watching it.

Okay, right. I would only watch it for the show and I tried to. Normally I'd finish it. What if you do finish it and then next week you're like i've changed my tune we're doing a full wachowski's speed racer episode we're gonna break it down frame by frame i would love to do wachowski's episode uh but yeah but it's visually spectacular no it's not that's no but what i'm saying is it's visually interesting no it's not but it's not compelling like you go oh there's so much happening but it

doesn't feel like it's happening in a real universe there is such a disconnect between the live action and the cgi in it yes because it's i know because it's a it's obviously a conscious decision because it was only made in 2010 or whatever to to make it to make the cgi stuff very cartoony yes but they don't feel like they're the same world. Yeah, right. And then sometimes it's a set, and other times it's just whatever, Elon Musk, whatever the kid's name is. What's his name?

Speed. Racer. No, the actor. Oh. So he's named Speed Racer. Correct, yes. Yeah. But Emil Hirsch.

Yes. And, you know, he's just turning a wheel in front of a greed screen. You know? And look, I think that is potentially by design. I agree. I'm sure people will be like, okay, well, obviously it's meant to evoke the original series, which was camp and hokey and very earnest kind of thing in a lot of ways. I don't think something can be camp and earnest at the same time, but it doesn't matter.

It's one of the two. I think things probably kill. But for me, that doesn't work at all. It doesn't. There's no... Because everything's green screen, it doesn't feel like a compelling narrative to me. Because you look at Sin City and maybe the second one,

which I haven't seen, which is still on your iPad or whatever. Yes, it is. But it's not great. But that is clearly a cartoon world, and it's stylized or whatever, clearly a cartoon world and you know it's stylized or whatever but the live action and and they mesh you know and every now and then you just get like the silhouette of a character walking but this is it always seems to be just a just a live action

matthew uh just matthew fox sitting with a mask on and oh that's right he's racer x i'm a good racer and i got challenged to racing and i'm but i was too good at racing so the government came after me or whatever whatever happens in it and i just i mean look it's a really good cast it's like yeah christina ricci yeah john goodman's in it yeah she's a good actor uh but it's god it's and they put the chimpanzee in which is good i guess i didn't think they were going to do that. And then that shows up. But it's... God, it's...

I found it just intolerable as a film to watch. Like, so boring and so flashy at the same time. And I don't know how... They've achieved that? Yeah. Or how it got made. I mean, because it's The Matrix, obviously. Yeah.

I think they promised a visual tour de force. And I think they were promised... They promised... a visual tour de force and i think they were promised they they promised if i had to guess i'd say they uh promised they would redefine the kids action i think they were like well it's trippy enough for adults and it's fun enough for kids or something to a defarce mason wow okay i'm gonna look up some reviews at the bottom it looks like cat in a hat like it looks that kind of like that kind of film uh like it looks like a blues clues universe ian nathan from empire says it'll split the ranks like a pizza cutter you might admire it as a warholian blur of pop art gawp and gasp at its hot wheels for real dynamism or get a headache yeah that's the second one yeah yeah what else we got uh let's find out. Reception. Here we go.

How many bars? Thank you. You son of a bitch. Headache-inducing special effects. Headache is, yeah. Yeah. That's correct. I mean, it was probably in 3D, wasn't it?

Almost certainly. Stellar visual effects. No. Yeah. Story and character were tossed aside towards the wearying races. That's 2008, sorry. Wearying races. I think they were also wearying. Yeah. Okay. Cinematic tossed aside towards the wearying races. That's 2008, sorry. Wearying races. I think they were also wearying. Yeah.

Okay. Cinematic pileup. I get it. Because speed is just like the guy, Emile Hirsch, he's just looking stern and staring ahead as his car just flips ridiculously around this impossible track. Yeah. Yeah. But do you think it's, what do you think could have improved it?

Just don't make it. Just... But do you think they... I think they could have made a... I don't know. Maybe realer cars and realer tracks. Real... Because I don't remember...

I mean, they've got a real car. He's really sitting in a car. I just saw a green screen bit. But I don't remember much of the original show. But I don't remember the track looking like that. No, I mean, mostly in Speed Rer he they would race on like open like open roads yeah thing it was like i'll cross it was like you know uh dangerous mountainsides and stuff like that you know and is it the same track because his brother completes the track and he this is just of what i saw i'm commenting on

this movie i haven't seen and people be like you should give it a chance. I won't. I will never go back to this. Right. But they're like, he's nearly beat his brother's time. And who did the same race like 15 years ago, they didn't change the track. Is everyone just racing this one track? More safety barriers now.

There's no safety barriers. There's one safety barrier. Is there? I didn't see any. But he's such a good racer that he's like miles ahead of everybody else. Yes. I just, no, I think it's, But he's such a good racer that he's like miles ahead of everybody else. Yes. No, I think it would be difficult because as a kid,

I really enjoyed watching it. It was on at like eight in the mornings before school and I would watch Speed Racer. But what I loved about it is because he had this novelty. It was the most amazing car. It had springs in the wheels and it had missiles and dinosaurs and uh in the movie yeah some of that stuff but i guess it's very difficult to integrate that into a somewhat realistic you couldn't make a like it's even a step beyond fast and the furious if you put springs under your car wheels so you can leap over obstacles kind of thing you make

it a little jet boost you make a little jet booster exactly I think but it would be but then people would be like they've changed to jet boosters and the fans are not happy but if you're a fan of the original

surely this is not good for you I would like people to email in and let us know actually of all the ones we've talked about

I would be because I know people are often you know well a lot of people were like it's boring and dull and I hate it

but there were people who were like I love it so it's boring and dull and I hate it. But there were people who were like, I love it. Yeah, right. So it's clearly not without its fans. I'm never not on LSD, they said. And I love this movie. Also, that's a good question as well.

Because when I watch this, I'm like, is it for people who are on drugs? I think it would be terrifying. Maybe. But maybe if you've got a group of like-minded friends all there hanging out, you're all under a blankie, you're watching Speed Racer, maybe you're having a great time. Absolutely not. If I span in a circle once and watch this, I'd vomit.

Like, there's no... But that's because you have a lot of gallstones. That's different. That's my own problem, yeah. 10 seems like a lot of gallstones. I said to him, like, is that a lot? And he's like, yeah. I'm like, what does that mean? Some people have 50 gallstones, I said to him, like, is that a lot? And he's like, yeah. I'm like, what does that mean?

Some people have 50 gallstones. Yeah, maybe they do. Anyway, this, yeah, I think there would be a way. It's like a bag of marbles. Yeah, I know. Sorry. I'm sorry for your marbles. I think that there would be a way to do it.

But then I think you'd have to, it's that's that balancing act i think and it's the same thing that we face with superhero movies for a long time is what how much do you strip out to make it work within the real world but it also feels like it is part of that animated version yeah you know what i mean there's do you you know super movies do you give them the costumes do you give them the wacky you know cgi sidekick or do you just make it a regular guy and give him the name of the the alien character from the comic books or whatever you know it's kind of yeah what what do you do there and this they went they took a chance at least but they took everything out yeah like the only real thing is some sets some closed sets and the people and everything else is just a loop-de-loop track. Yeah. And just CGI crowds yelling.

I think I saw it when it came out on DVD originally. Yeah. So all I recall, all the racing scenes appear in my mind. They're just in space. They're just in black. The blackness of outer space. And then there's a track in there somewhere. So what's the worst that can happen?

He flies off the track, he flies into space. It's fine. He'll be fine. God will catch him. Exactly. Just put it in the real world. I don't know. Yeah.

Do you think they'll take another stab at this? Speed Racer? Yeah. No. No, I don't think so either. There's so much else to adapt. Yeah. But, you know.

Anyway, I think this next one, this last one, they'll take another stab at. Dragon Ball Evolution. Yeah. See, I'm fascinated because you're a fan of Dragon Ball. I'm the biggest fan in the world. Now, there was originally Dragon Ball, then there was Dragon Ball Z. Yep.

Then there was Dragon Ball GT. GT, which isn't canon, sort of. And then there's a new one. There's some movies that some count as some don't. And there's one movie in particular. Yeah, and then there's Dragon Ball Super. Uh-huh. I'm talking about there's anime movies.

So I'd never seen this before because it was not in my wheelhouse and I didn't care so I watched you were like you've got to watch this because they're going to do a Caravan of Garbage at some point it's really interesting

but not in a compelling way I'm just interested that it got made because it's the worst movie ever made it's not the worst movie ever made it's pretty terrible

it's pretty terrible if you didn't know if they changed some of the names and they replaced if they changed Piccolo from green to blue and changed his name and you didn't know this was Dragon Ball related. I'd be like, this is a bad Dragon Ball knockoff, which is what it feels like anyway.

It does feel like it anyway, yeah. I read that the director didn't... What's interesting about this movie? Did it make sense to you? Because it borrows a lot of stuff from the original. I mean, I think it was all fairly self-explanatory, except how this guy got into, like, Goku. Yeah.

First of all, he's a white guy called Goku. Yep. Well, he's an alien. Well, that's true. So he can be a white guy, I guess. I guess. But, I mean, the fact that... I think somebody maybe calls him on it.

Like, why is your name Goku? Yeah. It's a little bit weird. I thought there's no explanation as to how, like at the start of the movie, it just opens on him doing karate with his grandpa. On a string. On a string. On a couple of high wires.

And there's never any explanation for that. There's no explanation for why he's being bullied in high school despite being more or less a regular teen he's more handsome than most teenagers more handsome than most he's also clearly 25 as are most people in this movie 25 to 35 also he's got just the worst hair yeah this guy they sometimes try to do the goku hair yeah and other times they just just don't bother um yeah it was in more of the worlds he so also he's terrible in this he's very shiny i'll give you that but he's got his shiny he's got a lot of forehead i thought i had a lot of forehead he's got so much but i i it feels like they took the wrong takes for some of these cuts yeah right like his anger is like and there's bits where he's

just clenching his fist and you see the vein pop in his head right uh-huh yeah just and it's it's apparently they were gonna give him a wig but the director said no his hair looks a lot like goku so we'll just let it doesn't look like that at all like yeah it's this it's it's it's it's approaching speed racer territory in the sense of like there's some weird stylized stuff that doesn't there's a there's a there's a moment where he he's about to go to a party and so he slicks his hair back and then it springs up sort of which feels like that's something that would be in an in a cartoon yeah and it would work in that situation it also doesn't spring up that much yeah exactly because it's not it doesn't look anything like goku hair. As somebody who's not a fan of this franchise necessarily,

it doesn't look anything like... No. None of it really looks like anything. None of it looks like anything. I think the one redeeming thing from this is casting James Masters as Piccolo. Spike from the Buffy and Angel shows. I think that's good casting. But everybody else is not.

Emily Ross is a good actor. Emmy Ross, I'm sorry. Yes. Is a good actor. Chow Yun-Fat. Chow Yun-Fat. I haven't seen him in something in rossum yes i'm sorry yes he's a good actor i haven't seen him in something i love the bit where he's like ha ha ha ha ha my grandfather's dead yeah yeah yeah yeah oh i think he's very charming i don't know what he's like in real life but he seems like a fun dude you know this is the guy who directed the one jet lee's the one yeah which

it looks a lot like the one there's a bit where one of them fights themselves. So I'm like, oh, this is the... Actually, that one's right. Is this the guy who made The One? Like it made me think of what it is. He's like, guys, you should get me to direct this. What I'm good at is you get one actor and you do a mirror thing. I'm good at the mirror thing.

And then it looks like they're fighting themselves. What do you think about that? I'm good at that. I can film that they're like we'll take it Jason Statham's in the one yes he is yeah

probably yeah yeah look also it's a lot of it feels it seems like it's dubbed it all feels like it's been dubbed

very badly so and that takes you very much out of the that's the did you ever did you ever watch Street Fighter The Legend

of Chun-Li the entirety of that has been re-dubbed and it doesn't it's the same thing here it doesn't a lot of it doesn't work it does feel a lot like that movie in general because what is missing on the day you know when you film on the day there's intonation and there's timing and there's all sorts of stuff and when you but when you go into a sound booth i guess you can't quite match what's happening on the screen and so it's same year 2009 there you go i thought these were felt they do feel like of the same era yeah you're right yeah you can do it uh-huh but it's it's a skill like any skill like any filmmaking skill right yeah like a lot of films okay things that i did like okay

uh there's a scene right at the state goes to the party goku goes to the party and or he goes to it doesn't matter i think he goes to you know he goes to the party yeah and these guys want to gang up in him and beat him up and he promises him 30 years he promised yes these 30 year old men want to beat him up and he probably promised his grandpa he won't fight so he lets them all beat them beat themselves up i thought that was quite creative for a children's film i was like that's quite fun if the lesson was if you're going to do what like a lot of these movies do which is teach children that fighting isn't the answer then tell them at the end that actually fighting is the answer yes that's a good way to go about it

okay yeah because fighting was the answer fighting was absolutely the answer what was the other bit that you liked the dragon ball looks quite good does it yeah the effect okay now what was the what was the were you when this movie came did you see the cinemas i saw it in tanzania on a bootleg disc okay great yeah well i was gonna say well then i'll watch it again this week yeah well what do you what do you feel like the fan reaction to this was everyone hated it nobody likes this movie yeah it's fucking horrible yeah like i'm you're the first person who hasn't said this is the worst thing i've ever said wow okay yeah and i don't know whether that is i just think it's a bad movie outside of the source material because i don't care whether they adapt a good version of draggable

yeah absolutely yeah i don't give a shit but this is it's just because i think also in a lot of ways this is it's kind of hard to adapt and also people get weird about casting yeah you know and white washing or whatever as they should. And I just don't know if we ever need to see it. Some things maybe don't need to be translated. And I don't know whether it's possible to do this, a Western version of this. Wow. Or any, like, I think the first thing that they should have done is hair tests.

Yeah. The hair is really the... I think it would have gone a long, honestly think it would have gone a long honestly it would have gone a long way if they'd somehow managed to if anybody is thinking about making a dragon ball movie the number one thing it's even beyond like you can get guys who are good at martial arts yeah you can get guys that are good at acting you don't even need to you can yeah that's true you can fix it with editing but i mean the key is to make the hairstyle look reminiscent of the cartoon series, but also works on an actual live action human.

I've seen some good fan art, but that's different than a person walking around with that. Exactly. It's got to move. It's got to move and flow. It's got to move and flow. Yeah. Look, I think because the recent Dragon Ball movie that was released and that was received very well and made a lot of money for the four minutes that it was out. Someone's going to take a run at this soon. Yeah, look, I think because the recent Dragon Ball movie that was released and that was received very well and made a lot of money

for the four minutes that it was out, someone's going to take a run at this soon. Yeah, for sure. And look, it probably is possible. I don't know. Yeah. But I just can't be worse than this. Or can it?

Because people didn't think Legend of Chandra would be... I like the bit where he turned into a monkey. Did you expect that? No. Well, I mean, that's the thing because I'm sort of aware because if i remember correctly this was sort of based on the journey to the west so it's based on the legend of monkey okay right which is why he goku originally has a tail i think yeah he does and then they got

rid of the tail well they get rid of the tail because if you cut the tail off he doesn't he's not a monkey anymore okay right i didn't do that because goku doesn't have a tail so i was sort of aware that he was based on monkey which I had I've seen a monkey I'm the biggest fan in the world so I never thought but I never thought he'd change into monkey

into a monkey what do you think of that monkey effect could have been worse I guess what do you think of that dragon at the end not good not good at all

that dragon is supposed to be like terrifying and like 100 feet tall it stands in front of you and asks you questions like what's up you want a wish I'm a fucking dragon

there's none of that it's just kind of like okay up You want a wish I'm a fucking dragon There's none of that It's just kind of like Okay I'll see you later I'm a dragon So the idea is You have to There's seven dragon balls

You have to collect All the dragon balls Once you collect All the dragon balls The dragon gives you a wish And it can be anything In the world In the universe

Anything at all I think it's got limits But I think if you've been Wished back from the dead Once you can't do it again Or something I can't remember There's limits on it

So if The original The original cartoons when are they set? Are they set now? Are they set in the past? No, it's kind of a weird future-ish. Right. Because there's flying stuff and whatever. Are the Dragon Balls scattered on Earth or throughout the whole universe?

I think it depends. Okay, right. I think they're mostly on Earth. Okay, right. Look, despite being the biggest fan I don't think I've I haven't seen every single episode ever

or movie that's okay and I haven't seen any of Dragon Ball Super because I feel like if the Dragon Balls are scattered all over the universe

you're never gonna well I mean that would be a more epic task yes than if they're scattered on earth and you've got a device

that can detect them all and you just wander around and collect them all again and they'd be like hey can you bring this guy back from the dead as well if they're scattered on Earth and you've got a device that can detect them all and you just wander around and collect them all again and they'd be like, hey, can you bring this guy back from the dead as well? And they're also... Hey, can I have a billion dollars? Hey, can I have a million more wishes? I got you.

I got you, you dumbass dragon. And also, it's weird because in the movie, they have the Dragon Ball detector. Yes. But they just seem to accidentally find them anyway a lot of the time. They're like, oh, they're in this house that we're in we'll do a caravan of garbage on it

please I think that's it though anything else? anyway they're all bad all these are bad I googled Dragon Ball Evolution top voted tags for Dragon Ball Evolution cringeworthy

bad acting boring awkward corny depressing mindless plus three more what are they who knows i haven't i can't click because it's a screenshot great yeah anyway are any of these good are we wrong no dragon ball's good isn't it oh that's a good one it's people have a least favorite or most famous or if there's another one so dragon ball's boring. Also, I probably shouldn't have put Oldboy on here because of Mangus on anime, but they're the same, aren't they?

Uh-oh. That's why I included it. Uh-oh. No, no, both of us think that. No, we don't. Okay, only Mason thinks it. The confusion, though, because when anime kicked over in Australia,

the distributor was called Manga Video, which I think confused a lot of people. That's right. And you're still confused to this day. I'm not confused. Yes. Yes, very good. I just And you're still confused to this day. I'm not confused. Yes. Yes, very good. I just feel like people are going to mention that.

But now you still can. You still can. Don't worry about it. You probably haven't listened this far. You probably sent the email already, which I respect. I love it when people send a message like, hey, what about this? And then they're like two minutes later like,

oh, you mentioned it. Enjoy that. Okay, Mason, you know what it's time for? Oh, what we're reading. What are we going to read? What we're going we're gonna read yeah i'm doing the thing what are we reading today what are you what are you reading i watched overlord did you it's good yes what's good about it it's kind of like the thing sort of you know kurt russell's the of. You know, Kurt Russell's The Thing? Yes, I know Kurt Russell's The Thing. Wyatt Russell's The Thing.

His son is the lead in it. Is he? One of the leads. Interesting. Yeah, it starts with, you think it's just going to be a... It's one of those things where, don't look at the poster, and... Don't listen to your friend James explain it to you in any way. And...

La la la la, continue. La la la la la la la. We're both doing it. Yeah. So I guess minor spoilers but everyone no don't spoil it for me no i mean just mean like it's supernatural oh you've seen the poster right like a man with his face part missing yeah so and it's i guess it's kind of like the thing in that way where it starts as one thing and then it becomes a different the thing oh you know

so i enjoy a premise like that and i kind of wish i didn't know that going in but it was still a thoroughly enjoyable ride good special effects and gore and such it that. And I kind of wish I didn't know that going in, but it was still a thoroughly enjoyable ride. Good special effects and gore and such. It's a lower budget kind of action, sci-fi, horror movie. But it's very good. It's a blumhouse, right? Is it a blumhouse? I don't know.

Might be a bumhouse. Got a... Very nice. What have you been watching? Well, because I watched Dragon Ball Evolution and I was so keen on going back to the Dragon Ball Evolution-iverse. Yes. That's actually not true.

But Emmy Rossum is in that, so I started watching Shameless, which is a TV series with her and William H. Macy. And it turns out Jason Chatwin, who's Goku, is also in Shameless. I'd forgotten. So they're good friends. They're good friends, I guess.

Is that still going? No, I think it finished a couple of years ago okay yeah but it's sort of it's William H. Macy he's kind of a deadbeat dad and then well he's

it's not oh it's that one yeah he's an alcoholic and the family that's bad robot sorry okay and then the family

have to all sort of you know all the kids all have to you know pick up the slack and be grown ups

it's good it's based on the British series. Okay. Which is also good. Which is better? The British series. Okay. Or is it?

I don't know. It always... Anytime I watch... There'll be an American adaptation of a British thing. Yeah. It's always shinier and cleaner and nicer kind of thing. It's very rarely the opposite way around. So I think maybe some of the edge comes off it just because it's...

And it's also... They've got better cameras. Yeah, they've got better cameras. It's less foggy. And also, yes, exactly. A British series is not afraid to cast people who are not Hollywood handsome at all times. And I think that works better in...

If you're like, okay, well, it's a family and they're not doing so well and they're you know they're they're just they're regular they're regular people yeah you can make them look like regular people whereas they have to go okay well let's put emmy rossum in this justin chatwin and emily rossum brother and sister in that in shameless no okay no there he he meets her in a nightclub and then he spends like two or three seasons attempting to date her. And he does. Briefly. Great.

Yeah, I know, right. There you go. Yeah. Good time, Sean. If you wear a girl down enough, she'll briefly date you. Yeah, that's right. It's a good message. Lesson learned, huh?

Good message. Pretty great. Anything else? I think that's all. I should have gotten to Overlord and I didn't. No, you still can. No, I won't. It's available. You can download it. I should have gotten to Overlord and I didn't. No, you still can. No, I won't. It's available.

I will. I'll do it tomorrow probably. Nice. Yeah, it's well worth it. Letters, Mason. Let's do some letters. Let's talk about letters. The classic one was letters, oh letters.

We love you. Some letters, they're only a day away. I know they're here right now, we're going to do letters You're so into that, Mason I'm into it Throwing up the horns Throwing up the bloody horns Look, if you want to throw the horn this way

Don't say it like that You can hashtag Weekly Planet Pod on Twitter Or send a Gmail over to weeklyplanetpod.gmail.com Or as this week Mason has done He's pulled something from the Planet Broadcasting Great Mates group. I absolutely have on Facebook if you join up if you like there's so many members. It's free?

It's free. But what if it weren't free? We'd be rich. Well we're thinking of that What? No It's a Facebook group. Yeah it's exactly I have this from Hugo Buckley Do you feel there are any directors who have made films that are both 10 out of 10 and 1 out of 10 like they've made like like they've made two movies one of which is incredible and one of which is the worst he'd have to say tim burton

and m night sharm elan i don't think any of m night sharm i haven't seen all of them but i don't think i've seen a one out of him you've never seen it have you seen a tan though you think yeah i think i'm break up non-breakable i think the success is a 10 okay right yeah oh what's up there if it's not a 10 it's a right it's a 9.2 uh-huh yep which is pretty good uh the wachowskis well they've made the matrix obviously and everything else is a four or below right which we discussed earlier and i feel like again for anybody who doesn't know there's a scene in the first matrix which is line for line verbatim a scene from a dc vertigo series called the invisibles by um by grant morrison yeah and i and which makes me wonder if the first movie isn't all isn't just a pastiche of other things they read yeah or saw

that they put together and we just don't know what they are or like the people that i'm sure somebody's pieced it together somebody might have but that or that just don't have the means to sue multi-billion dollar corporation yes warner brothers and so they just haven't brought it up which would and i'm not saying i should have sued them after justice league when they're weak because now they've got aquaman so yeah it's too late there was the window and it closed um but maybe after the trench it's like wearing a girl down exactly but i mean i'm not look i'm not saying that definitely did happen i'm just not ruling it out yeah that they that which but it does explain why everything else they've made since then has been worse and why this, especially the second two matrix movies are just this hodgepodge of terrible

dialogue and nonsense. Non-connected action sequences. Yeah. Because they were like, and then there's mechs. Yeah. Yeah. It feels like the matrix sequels were made by somebody who didn't understand

the first matrix. Yeah. Yeah. The animatrix though, there's some pretty good stuff in there. So on the, in there so on the on the thread Ethan Harrison

said David Fincher if you can't if you count Alien 3 even though he basically didn't direct it I don't think that's a 1 yeah

it's not great but it's not a 1 I think it's like a 5 look we don't have to say look who's directed both good and bad things yeah

but I mean it's you know I guess pretty much every director well that's true but I mean it's it's interest like there are some people every director well that's true but I mean it's it's interest like there are some people

who have has Spielberg produced a one probably not directed a one I mean we know we know somebody directed the one yes

and then he went and directed Dragon Ball Evolution so that's a one and a ten that's true Ethan went on to say also Danny Boyle made The Beach which is atrocious

and Sunshine which we all know is the greatest film ever made that's a good point but I Danny Boyle made The Beach which is atrocious and Sunshine which we all know is the greatest film ever made that's a good point but I actually don't mind The Beach yeah I think the Danny Boyle one about hypnosis

isn't that good with James McAvoy oh what's that called again? Hypnosis Man I don't think it's called that he's got your secrets in his mind oh yeah actually you're right I don't remember what it's called

but I really like it what else is there on that thread? what else have people got? it's called Blatty Far Down it's interesting do you think it's often the case of a director will make a 10 and then else is there on that thread? What else have people got? It's interesting. Do you think it's often the case of a director will make a 10 and then never make a movie that good? Yeah. I mean, it could very well be, you know, they say with musicians, difficult second album syndrome.

Yeah. Where all the good ideas went into the first one. But then you look at like Mad Max Fury Road. Yes. Which is maybe not George Miller's Best movie It might be George Miller's Best movie I think it is Yeah

But also he had Literally decades To Yes To revisit That That universe So

There was news this week Actually that might be Coming back They might be making a sequel But everyone's suing Each other over that Or whatever Yeah

So I don't know What else is in the thread Mason that's fine let's bloody find out how come you haven't opened it up immediately I forgot things you dumbass

okay let's see actually Robert Tribbick has said Steven Spielberg you get Schindler's List and other stuff that he's done sure and Indiana Jones 4 was that a 1

what would you what would you call it and I don't mean I don't necessarily mean in a vacuum I mean as compared to Indiana Jones' 1 through 3. It's pretty bad, right? It's pretty bad, but I think the first 15 minutes are pretty okay.

It's a good... So that bumps it up to what? To at least a 2 or 3. At least a 2. I think it's probably a 4. Uh-huh. Yeah. Tobias has said, Bryan Singer, bad bloke brian singer terrible uh the usual

suspects x-men apocalypse yeah it's not great is it no it's boring then would you just that count that no i'd give it a one because i'm because it's it's it's on the back of a series that is just bleeding out and instead of doing anything to revitalize it they brought the same guy in to do the same stuff. Yes. And it's just dreary and nonsensical. And there's a man who can cut heads off with sand. But he doesn't. And then it's just metal flying around for the last 20 minutes.

Now, that movie's a one. Do you also think Superman Returns is a one? Yes. Okay. Because it's so sad and dreary. What about Valkyrie? That's a four. Okay.

What about Jack the Giant Slayer? That is not good. Okay, there we go. What else we got? Justin said Kevin Smith made Clerks and Cop Out. To me, Clerks is not a 10, but I see where he's going with that. Cop Out is definitely a one. Yeah.

But you don't think Clerks is a 10? No. Considering how they made that, it's pretty spectacular. That's true. Kev marlow suggested joel schumacher batman and robin and tiger land yeah batman robin's not a one though i don't think it's i think it's i don't think it's a one i think i think in the context of let's make a movie that is less nightmarish than batman returns and he's more batman-y and i think they went okay well

let's make it like the 60s let's make it campy and stupid. I think at the time I was upset by it, but I think in retrospect, I'm like, well, this is absolutely an acceptable version of the Batman mythos to make it so stupid and technicolor. And now they're not good anymore. Yeah, exactly. Those two. Those things, yeah. You're upset they weren't good anymore.

Any others, or should I read the next thing? I'm trying. Let me think of one off the top of my actual head. Okay. How's that sound? I love the sound of that what about john carpenter he's done like the thing he did the thing he's done like ghosts from mars or ghosts of oh yeah right right what about peter jackson yeah okay i mean and even even that within the same within the same universe he did he did and look i probably wouldn't call them a 10, but the Lord of the Rings movies are technically amazing and it's astounding that they exist.

Yes. And then he made... Well, I haven't seen all the Hobbit movies, but I've seen the third one, which makes... But you didn't hate that. You were like, that was okay. Yeah, but... It's not good, though, is it?

It's a great movie. I don't think I did like it. Did I like it? I remember you thought it was okay and you were like, it was okay to revisit this world or whatever. Yeah, right. Yeah.

But clearly you don't remember anything about it. I don't remember anything about it. Yeah. No, I don't like those movies. I mean, those movies are, I guess they are, I don't know if they're a one, but they're, God, they're a chore. Yeah, right. God, there's a lot of them.

There's a lot of minutes in those movies. Yeah, right. Yeah. Okay. So looking at. Oh, Shane Black. You were going to Iron Man 3? Oh, Predator. Yeah. of them there's a lot of minutes in those movies yeah right yeah okay so looking at oh shane black you're gonna iron man 3 oh predator yeah yeah and anything kiss kiss bang bang that's probably not a 10 but that's enjoyable yeah again that's a guy who can who can if it's just guys doing dialogue yeah and roughhousing lethal weapon movies yeah i know it's still but i mean uh you know if he's if it's just guys having a roughhouse

and having witty banter, the nice guys, they're good movies. But introduce anything sci-fi and he's just... He doesn't understand laces. He doesn't know what he's going on with. Yeah. I mean, I'm looking up examples here and people are giving like Hook and things. I think Hook's okay. What's the...

Ridley Scott's been done some tens and ones. Yeah, I agree. Robin Hood is atrocious Is it more a case of though A director Will have They'll produce all good movies And then they'll do a real stinker

And then we know them best for that Maybe Sometimes it gets forgotten I'm sure What's a bad Scorsese film? Did he do Hugo? I didn't like Hugo. I know it's about the birth of cinema, et cetera.

Yeah, right. I did not like it. Yeah, right. Yeah. Well, he did The Godfather 3, which I haven't seen. But people consider that bad as a film. But it's your favorite film, isn't it? No.

Oh, okay. That'll do it? I think okay. That'll do it? I think so, that'll do it. We should move it along. Okay. Next up we've got from Lucas, a tweet, hashtag weeklyplanetpod. We know that Thomas Wayne will have a big part in the new Joker movie. Does that mean that in the universe the Joker is almost 40 years older than Bruce Wayne?

Or do you see another way this could turn out? I don't know if there is a Bruce Wayne in this universe yet. Also, Jack Nicholson is 40 years older than Michaelael he's probably nice probably 10 yeah right yeah i'm maybe 20 something like that yeah yeah i i don't think they're gonna care about like i don't i don't think they've thought ahead enough in this universe i think you don't think it's yeah it's not gonna we're not gonna get three movies in and then Batman shows up. No, absolutely not. And I also think that there might have been an editorial edict, don't put Batman in this, but you have to introduce some Batman-ish elements.

And so they went, okay, Thomas Wayne, that's as far away as you can get it kind of thing. Wayne Tower. Wayne Tower's in this. A clock also, just a clock tower exactly whatever yeah yeah do you reckon there'll be a bit where thomas wayne's like man i got a big cave under my house i don't do anything with it though fill it with tennis balls every day i go down there and i empty one of those tins of tennis balls i just pour it in there

you know it's gonna take me forever but i'm rich and I can... I'm rich and I'm going to live forever. That's right. I'm just eccentric, okay? Yeah. No, I don't think it's... I mean, maybe. Maybe they'll be like, look, it's little Bruce Wayne. And then into the Joker 3, Bruce Wayne is there. He's teary over the death of his parents and he's just got a big broom and he's shoving

tennis balls out. He's got one of those tennis ball nets. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Like a pool scooper. For sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Look, maybe it'll be like... Also, Bruce Wayne, we don't know yet maybe bruce wayne is 12 in these movies yeah we don't know because alec baldwin was originally supposed to be his father and so he could easily have like a 15 year old son or whatever that's true yeah we don't know yet at this point yeah this is a question for you specifically from tom benjamin at wikipedia brown that's you have you given up on your dream of being the hey i'm walking here guy you've given up on that dream mason i think i could still do it hey asshole yeah exactly yeah i think i could be that guy if maybe you need to be that guy in real life first oh and then i'm

maybe i'm in a viral video yeah where i'm shouting profanities on on on yeah then you get hired or whatever then you get hired based on that yeah it's the hey asshole guy now he's in now he's in avengers endgame he's got him now he's got a bloody autotune song yes uh look i think i think the key is if you want it you have to go and get it that's true thus far i've not attempted to go and get a few offers of like to be in like some some comics and things haven't you yes like but but you haven't had any big movie deals yet no nothing nothing as of yet interesting it's interesting is it a dead trope though is that do you think that's the case i mean that's not why you haven't been contacted

no it's a dead trope no but do you think it's a dead i think i've been blacklisted by hollywood for being too real is it being is it a dead trope yeah maybe I don't know I haven't seen it in a while I haven't seen it in a while either so maybe it's ripe for the return the last one I remember it from is Terminator 3 where he goes hey asshole

or whatever John Connor hits the car or whatever but yeah yeah look I think I'm going to have to get out there I'm going to have to tweet at some famous directors

and ask them please do who would you hit up first Christopher Nolan who's approachable is the question I think none of them they're all auteurs Mason famous directors and ask them. Please do. Who would you hit up first? Christopher Nolan. Who's approachable is the question, I think. None of them. They're all auteurs, Mason.

Yeah, they are all auteurs, aren't they? Yeah. Edgar Wright, I guess I could tweet at him. You met him. That's true. Yeah. Yeah, you harass him. Yeah, I'll harass him.

Endlessly. I will. I met Lee when I was a friend of mine. Now I get it. I could ask him for you. If you could, thank you. Yeah. Ask him in private. Just text him.

Okay. I will. I definitely have his number. Okay, great. Cool. Cool, thanks. Great. That's the show, though. Yes Yeah. Ask him in private. Just text him. Okay. I will. I definitely have his number. Okay, great. Cool. Cool. Thanks. Great.

That's the show though. Yes. Bit of a longer one. I hope people think that's okay. Felt like a bit of a shorter one to me. Well, Mason, it's always a chore for me. Go on. Thanks everybody for listening.

Even if it's a longer one. A lot of people love a longer one. They do love a longer one. We don't know how long people's commutes are. We have no idea. Sometimes people's commutes might be two and a half hours a day. You know what this economy is like? We should do another half hour then.

Sometimes people will start in the morning and then in the afternoon and then they'll finish the next day or whatever. Some people tweet us and they say, I listen every day. Yeah, I was at Apple's house. I love it. That's dedication. I'll do that. I'll do that to some podcast.

Yeah, me too. Anyway, you were saying something else. I was saying something. Thank you for listening, telling your friends, subscribing, give us a nice review. Send us a tweet. We love a tweet. I'm at WikipediaBrown on Twitter.

has a new podcast called Shusha Guided Meditations yes and it's just him lulling you to sleep with an assortment of nonsense

which I enjoy very much it's very funny and also very relaxing. People are being soothed by it. Al used to have something. I believe some of it's on YouTube, and he did it as a live show as well. And it was called Alistair Tremblay Virtual Lists Everything. And he would go on stage and simply list things just off the top of his head, and he would never repeat himself.

And it wasn't planned. No, and it was just all things. Amazing. It was very good. So I think some of that's on YouTube if you want to track it down. But I feel this is very much in the same vein. I actually haven't spoken to him about it yet.

Does he plan it out? Does he write it? I don't know either. I've got to find out. It feels written. Not like in a forced way, but there's ideas in it. There is ideas.

But then again, he's a... He's an ideas man in the moment. Yeah, absolutely. I'll put that below. It's called Shusha. Shusha, yeah. Also, Nick Maceau on Instagram. You'll miss the Sunday movies and everything?

Yes, on everything you know and love. You can also follow The Weekly Planet on Twitter. That's our friend Rob Collings. He does the newsletter as well. What is that? It's my face. Okay. It's just my regular face, mate.

You're just making a regular face. That's disturbing. Do you like it? Stop making your weird face. It's my regular face. No, no. Every other face I do is me pulling a face. Okay, wow.

Do you like it? Yeah, it's good. You look handsome. Let's see if you want to support the show. You can go to patreon.com slash MrSundayMovies if you want to chuck in a buck. Cups a lot. You were saying we're breaking ground on the studio.

We're doing some more stuff in there. Tuesdays. They're coming in earlier. The big build. I've got to move a whole lot of shit out there. I've got a whole lot of weights in there. You've got to move your bicycle. Oh, that bike.

And that's all right because you can't lift those weights. That's why they're in there. You physically can't lift them. I can't move. You're going to have to get a big man in to move your weights. I'm thinking about do I sell them? I don't want to sell them because then I have to move your weights. I'm thinking about, do I sell them? I don't want to sell them because then I have to- Buy them again.

I've sold stuff on Gumtree before and it's just endless questions from idiots. Is it enough? What if I bring a- It's annoying. It's a lot of people going, you've lifted this for $50. Would you sell it for $4? Oh, God, yeah. Mostly, if I put something on there, I just want to get rid of it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I think I might just leave them out the front or throw them at a bus if you'd like to also support the show you can go to the

They're going like hot cakes, the hottest of cakes in a cold environment. Hot cakes on a hot day. We have a new clothing sponsor next week. Oh, we do?

That's great. One of our previous sponsors, Mack Weldon, they've gone radio silent on us. That's right. It's interesting. Because they switch, like the person who's in charge of the, this happens every now and then, they'll switch the account to a different person or whatever, and then you just, they're dead. They don't talk to you anymore.

They don't talk to us anymore. We still stand by our our bloody endorsement of them i but i look they've been a great sponsor over the years and they've you know they've helped this show a lot uh but just so people don't freak out if we have a different because oh no i mean sometimes when we change sponsors or whatever people are like we you know what about this previous thing they email in should i should I burn all my shirts? Yes. You should. They're dead to us. Yeah, but this new clothing company is also very good. Very cool.

So, yeah. I don't know if that's next week or week after. People don't care about sponsors. Why am I even bringing this up? Next week, we're going to be talking about Battle Angel Alita, right? Oh, no, maybe. What if it's good, though? We don't know yet.

If it's good, I'll be happy. If it's awful, I'll also be happy. And the listeners will be happy because people love it when you rag on something that's bad. But if it's fine, I'm going to be very sad. Yes, I agree with you on that. Well, I feel like that's what it's going to be. Oh, no. All right.

All right, great stuff. That's everything, isn't it? That is everything. Everyone have a wonderful week. Is that your new sign-off? It's very positive. It's out of character for you. I don't like it either,
