Starting point is 00:00:55 This podcast is part of the Planet Broadcasting Network. Visit planetbroadcasting.com for more podcasts from our great mates. This episode is brought to you by a Casper mattress. Not just one, though. All of them. The you by a Casper mattress. Not just one though. All of them. The company. All of them. They're coming.
Starting point is 00:01:09 Be prepared for it. 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. 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, Nicholas P. Mason. It's me. Oh, my God, it's The Weekly Planet. This is exciting.
Starting point is 00:01:35 We're back. It feels like it's been a long time, but it hasn't. It's been precisely one week. I feel like you say that every three weeks. You're like, it's been a long time. Well, because every second week I black out a little bit oh yeah well that's not that's not inaccurate yeah have you been doing anything exciting that would cause you to black out like a bunch of drugs no it's just what are you doing with your life then should i be doing drugs is that is that i just thought you're one of those
Starting point is 00:01:58 amphetamine tram drivers or whatever keep going won't stop you know what i mean is that more of a truck driver truck driver I think, yeah. Okay. Because I guess you're not in a rush to get anything anywhere, are you? No. The people of Melbourne can wait because safety is more important. Safety is paramount. Safety is very important.
Starting point is 00:02:13 Very true, Mason. You know where safety wasn't paramount? And that's on the bloody Titanic. And I'll tell you why, Mason. Oh, here we go. Because it hit an iceberg and it sunk and a lot of people died at the time. And now it's kind of like this thing that people go, i see jokes about jokes about i see exactly where you're going whatever yes and in in saying that mason james cameron has acknowledged finally as he should yes his defeat
Starting point is 00:02:36 that uh endgame has sunk titanic i enjoy it when a company does this i love a bit of corporate banter i love it yes but it's more i feel like it's interns bantering with other interns. Definitely. Because it's not like James Cameron made this himself, is it? Surely. Do you think he commissioned it or he just looked at it and went, fine, or didn't look at it? I think he did commission it because it's in line with some other stuff that's happened in the past, I think. In James Cameron's life?
Starting point is 00:03:02 I think there's one. I think. There's a Jurassic World one. a there's a Jurassic World one there's a Star Wars one but there's one I think it's Star Wars and Titanic which is very similar which I think is I think it's the Star Wars characters jumping on top of the Titanic yeah it's them being uprooted by Titanic or something like that so I think maybe he's just remembered that one and he said do it the same uh do it the same in turn do you there was one when titanic probably up on his wall and he's probably like that one do it like that do it like that one do you think he he sent himself one when avatar beat titanic it was
Starting point is 00:03:32 it was a navi like cramming the titanic into their mouth or whatever that movie was about what i picture is every time one of his movies beats uh you know a super blockbuster movie he demands one of his interns makes this thing. And then one day Avatar beat Titanic, and his intern rushes in with Avatar beating Titanic, and he just stares this intern down. And the intern slowly realises what he's done, and he realises that James Cameron's reaching for the button on his desk
Starting point is 00:03:58 that opens the floor up and the spikes. It's like, what have I done? He demands this, but he know not what he demanded. James Cameron. So what he demandeth James Cameron So what he's written is And it's all It's all good natured fun And ribbing mason
Starting point is 00:04:11 An iceberg sank The real Titanic It took the Avengers To sink my Titanic Imagine if the Avengers Really Like a group of superheroes Really sunk the Titanic
Starting point is 00:04:19 In real life That's what happened That would be remembered differently Wouldn't it That would be a very different movie Post end game Captain America goes back in time. And in order to achieve his mission, he has to sink the Titanic.
Starting point is 00:04:28 He's like, well, got to- I want to marry DiCaprio's wife, so I'm going to- Got to maintain this timeline. Clang. Everyone here at Lightstorm Entertainment salutes your amazing achievement. You also talked about how Captain America was in the iceberg. Because he was, Mason. Yeah. Pre-World War II. Pre-World War II, exactly two it's time loops and whatever i don't know man send us your end game theories please we want them all we want them all uh but i'm sorry say
Starting point is 00:04:55 the thing again he was talking about how it's good that people are you know get the amount of people that they're getting into the cinema and keeping it alive and whatever. So, yeah. I mean, it's only a matter of time before Avatar steals this back. It's true, yeah. What does it matter? It's going to have the double biggest opening of all time. It's going to get $300 billion. Right. So where is Endgame now?
Starting point is 00:05:15 It's not the greatest earner of all time. That's still... It's the quickest. That's still Titanic or that's still Avatar? That's still Avatar. But it'll probably catch it eventually. Yeah, right. It depends. I think it's going to. But it'll probably catch it eventually. Yeah, right. It depends.
Starting point is 00:05:25 I think it's going to be... We'll talk about it later. I haven't got the numbers in front of me. But I think it didn't beat Detective Pikachu this week. That makes a lot of sense, actually, yeah. Yeah. What do you mean? What are you saying?
Starting point is 00:05:35 What do you mean by that? Because kids don't like Pikachus. Speaking of Pikachu... I'm speaking of... We put out a video about Pokemon, the first movie. And I'm going to say... I mean, we talked about it and then ben edited it well that's true yeah yeah we talked about a movie we watched once and somebody
Starting point is 00:05:50 else did the bulk of the work but clearly vindictive pokemon fans have sunk our titanic it wasn't big no it wasn't it was the company that was the company that owned the good people of whatever that company's show po yeah yeah Showpo the way it works is if anybody cares you can skip ahead there's time codes but they claim something you say no this is mine
Starting point is 00:06:10 I've got this scripted copyright thing that's like this is under fair use because it's review and criticism or whatever which is true
Starting point is 00:06:16 it's legally you can do this you can't upload like massive chunks of movies obviously but this you can do and then they say no we still believe it's ours.
Starting point is 00:06:26 And then you say, well, then why don't you bloody do something about it? And then the next step, and I wasn't familiar with this, maybe some companies can do it, some can't. They said, well, they still think it's theirs. So you can take it down. Double, double dare. We're going to give you seven days to take it down. And if you don't take it down, you get a copyright if you get three copyright strikes they remove your channel by the way
Starting point is 00:06:47 or three strikes of any nature yeah right and then i can appeal after i get the strike that's good so that video that video when the power that one million subscribers lets you wield so wonderful but uh you know well i mean after they've double dead you can physical challenge yeah so if you can get the other end of a maze without getting slimed, you get the video back. I think I should be able to fight the guy who's making these claims as well. Yeah. Because, look, I don't know this person, but I think I could beat him up. I think you'd probably take him.
Starting point is 00:07:13 For sure. Well, I've got to come down to that. And you're there, you're cracking your knuckles. You're like, I'm ready to go. And then they're like, Chopo has decided to send in their champion. And it's just an enormous mountain of a man. It's just there to, like, challenge copyright claims. Yeah, they just keep him on the books for that.
Starting point is 00:07:30 Yeah. Yeah, so it'll result in a strike and then I'll counter that. And then the video will probably be up in two months and it'll be so buried in my feed that no one will ever see it anyway. Well, I mean, Detective Pokemon will still be out. It'll still be making waves. Don't even worry about it. Yeah, it'll definitely make us money. So, yeah, Dove, that's over.
Starting point is 00:07:51 But anyway, we've got more news, Mason. I'm ready. Trailers ahoy this week. Do you want to talk about Spiderman? Should I find a trailers ahoy? Some theme music? Could it be the Captain Pugwash theme music? No, people sent in.
Starting point is 00:08:02 I don't want big Pugwash coming after us, Mason. You think that's not a powerful organisation? All right, well, while you're searching on your phone. Look, the only thing better than a trailer theme being played out of my phone is a trailer theme being played out of my phone halfway through the segment. Spider-Man Far From Home got its... This is from Fairfuse. Hang on.
Starting point is 00:08:26 Here we go. This is Mason Trailers Ahoy.oy this is on youtube i don't know what it is mason trailers ahoy i just said that i know it's crazy how did he make that so quickly it's insane yeah that's a little less than i was expecting but it's also not a theme that's not a theme really is it there's i thought you were gonna go for a foghorn which we could have just done you could have just i could have said trailers ahoy and you could have done a foghorn right but people were kind enough and now that guy's going to come after us yeah for using this material it's going to take the whole podcast taken out well look we'll do a trailer and then i'll do the second one that's here okay well we've got twice as long fyi two foghorns maybe uh so spider-man far it's the third or so trailer but what this one does
Starting point is 00:09:05 and spoilers for Endgame and also Spider-Man Far From Home probably yeah there's actually a trailer breakdown on my channel if people want to check it out it's linked below it's pretty bloody extensive
Starting point is 00:09:14 there's some stuff in there don't worry about it bits of stuff but it reveals the aftermath of Endgame and Tony Stark is dead and Spider-Man's like I wish I could be
Starting point is 00:09:23 I need a new mentor. Maybe this mysterious man will be my mentor. That mysterious man, Happy Hogan. Yes, that's right. Do you think he'd be a good mentor? No. He'd be great for lunch. He'd take you to a good lunch.
Starting point is 00:09:35 He'd definitely take you to a good lunch. Then he wouldn't listen to any of your problems. Then he'd send you on your way again. Absolutely, he would. Then he'd try to sleep with your aunt. Is that happening, actually? Seems that way. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:45 Well, you know, everyone's got needs. Everyone's human, you know what I mean? She was at Tony Stark's funeral. That's true. Met him like twice that we know about. That's true, exactly. He's a slippery eel, that one. He really is, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:59 So what did you think? Shows us a lot of the movie, doesn't it? Yes. Apparently there's more secrets to be held. I don't think there's that many more secrets, but I guess we felt that way about Spider-Man Homecoming. We did know most of the plot beats going in, but we still enjoyed it.
Starting point is 00:10:16 We enjoyed that one a lot, yeah. I mean, it kind of gives us a reveal that MJ probably knows that Peter Parker's Spider-Man. Yep. What else is it? It makes sense that she'd figure it out because she's on holiday and then Spider-Man shows up. Yeah, exactly, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:31 And all you have to do is go, well, it's obviously not. It's obviously the one who has the same height and build as Spider-Man. And he's not here. Yeah, right. He's the one that is constantly like, yeah, you'd have to be an idiot. Yeah. So also talks like Spider-Man. Very much so
Starting point is 00:10:45 he's got that voice modulator but he never uses it never uses it yeah yeah it's okay so there's that reveal there's also
Starting point is 00:10:51 there's the big hullabaloo about Mysterio saying it's from a different dimension right there's a separate clip where he says this Marvel Universe is Earth 616
Starting point is 00:10:59 right and it's not Earth 1,000,000 which the MCU the comic book universe is Marvel 616. The movie universe is universe 199,999. Yes. So, I mean, who knows? We're not at that stage of the Marvel cinematic universe
Starting point is 00:11:20 where all the universes have been numbered. It might just be a number that he's pulled out of his ass. That's right. Also, he's a notorious liar. Yes, well, exactly, yeah. I said this in the trailer breakdown. The internet seems to have taken on the idea wholesale that he is definitely from a parallel universe,
Starting point is 00:11:35 and I don't think he is. See, here's the thing. I think he could be, but I think he's definitely lying. There's a bunch of stuff he's lying about. I'm just not sure which. He could be lying about all of it. He could be lying about some of it. He's definitely created those monsters or brought them with him.
Starting point is 00:11:51 Yes, right. Or whatever. Or people have said, is it Chameleon even? Because there's rumors of that character. He might be in there, yeah. Or whatever. Yeah, I think he's, no, he's not. He's Mysterio.
Starting point is 00:12:02 He's Mysterio. He's known for his lies. He's a bad and petty man. Well, I think because, I think we mentioned last week, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has an Agent Coulson from a parallel universe. He seems to be some sort of inhuman hunter crossing the parallel universes. And then in Endgame, we have the revelation that there is something akin to parallel universes. So I think those are the real deal.
Starting point is 00:12:23 And then this is the fake one. Right. Like, those are the real deal and then this is the fact this is the fake one right like those are those are setting us up so we go well parallel universes that's the that's the that's the name of the game right now and then in this one so if you want the real story you're gonna jump on over to agents of shield season five six six get on there get on there you got your abc is it last season i don't know, I think they've renewed it until seven, maybe. Okay, right. There you go. People are loving it. I should get back on board.
Starting point is 00:12:48 I haven't, but I should. Apparently the new season is also set before the snap. Right. Initially, at least. Okay. So they'll probably bleed into that at some point. Yeah, cool. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:00 New Spider-Man suit. He's got a couple. He's got your stealth one. Yep. Iron Spider's back. He's got the black one and he's got the wings. The other one has the wings, but that one also has the wings. This one even more so.
Starting point is 00:13:10 Even more so. Do you think Tony Stark has left him a suit? It's probably on that plane. That's what I'm thinking. Yeah. Yeah. Do you think we're going to get a Stark cameo? Or even a voice recording or a phone message or something like that.
Starting point is 00:13:26 I kind of hope we don't. Just to let it sit for a bit? I think because we got the big finale in Endgame. Yeah. And I don't really want... I don't want this to be more of like, okay, well, he's just going to... Spider-Man, he's going to live in the shadow of Tony Stark forever. I just want him to be his own superhero for a bit.
Starting point is 00:13:40 I don't disagree with you, but if you can cast your mind back, and spoilers for the movie Spectre. Oh, yes. Everyone thought Dame Judi the movie Spectre. Oh, yes. Everyone thought Dame Judi Dench was gone. Oh, yes. But then someone slides a laptop across Bond's table, and lo and behold, Dame Judi Dench. There she is on the screensaver.
Starting point is 00:13:55 She's the dancing baby, except it's Dancing M. And he's like, what's this? And they're like, just shake the mouse. Just waggle the mouse, and the screensaver will just waggle the mouse. Yes. There it is. Okay. So it wouldn't surprise me because apparently the Russos were saying that he,
Starting point is 00:14:10 Robert Downey Jr. wasn't keen on letting it go. Right. Because he still enjoys being this character. Which is fair. He seems like he's been having fun for 11 years. Yeah, right. Which is why I think. And getting paid.
Starting point is 00:14:21 And getting paid. I saw a video on YouTube a couple of days ago from Architectural Digest. YouTube.com? Yeah, YouTube.com. And it was a tour around his windmill house. So I think he's just enjoying buying houses, buying unusual houses. Where's his windmill house? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:14:37 Is it a modern windmill house? I'm thinking like... No, wait. Maybe it's a lighthouse house. He would have. It's a lighthouse house, I think, actually. I tell a lie there. Did he buy the lighthouse from Around the Twist? Yes, he did, yeah. That's a lighthouse house i think actually i tell a lie there did he buy the lighthouse from around the twist yes he did yeah it's a very specific reference but don't worry
Starting point is 00:14:49 about it everybody he got all the ghosts shoot out of the lighthouse i visited that once that lighthouse did you it sucks because i thought there was like stuff inside it's not a functioning lighthouse i think it might still be right but they're like do you want a picture in front of the like there's a board of pictures from the tv series they're like, do you want a picture in front of the, like, there's a board of pictures from the TV series Round the Twist. Like, do I want a picture in front of the pictures of the cast of Round the Twist? Yeah, right. Uh-huh. No.
Starting point is 00:15:11 Okay, right. Don't want that. Anyway, it's a beautiful area, though, wherever it is. Yeah. I can't remember. Ocean Grove, maybe? Anyway. So he wants in.
Starting point is 00:15:20 He wants back in as many. Let's get rid of the dog. Yeah, I'm going to let the dog out. She's only going to come back. Yeah, I know. All right. But yeah, you keep talking, Mason. I rid of the dog. Yeah, I'm going to let the dog out. She's only going to come back. Yeah, I know. But you keep talking, Mason. I don't want to. Well, you have to.
Starting point is 00:15:28 I only respond to the things that you say. I can't speak on my own. I'll lift the door ajar so she can come on back if she needs to. So bloody. So lighthouses. Yeah, I mean, what's your favourite? Castle Rock Entertainment. Yeah, definitely.
Starting point is 00:15:42 You know, that one. I know the one. It's in the logo. They've probably modernised it. It probably looks great. Yeah. Yeah. You know, that one? I know the one. It's in the logo. They've probably modernized it. It probably looks great. Yeah. It's probably sending out tweets. Yes, it definitely is.
Starting point is 00:15:50 Instead of lights, it's sending out tweets. It almost certainly is. Yeah, so I think that there's more, because we made that video about theories and how people can return. And there's a lot of like, just let them die. Not everyone has to come back. I agree. I would be fine if these actors were happy to not come back.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Yeah, right. It's completely up to them. But I just don't think we're in a scenario where that is likely. Like monetary-wise, all parties involved, I just don't think it doesn't make sense to never, ever, ever, ever bring any of them back. Well, that's true. And I think Sony especially would be like,
Starting point is 00:16:25 look, if we pay Robert Downey Jr. a couple of million dollars to show up for five minutes and just say some words of wisdom, we put that in the trailer, and then this movie sells like gangbusters because he's in it. I think I read that he did three days' work on Homecoming, and he got paid $5 million or something like that. Yeah, right. Three days.
Starting point is 00:16:42 Wow, that's pretty good. Man. You buy a lot of lighthouse houses with that. bet he bought a couple at least bought a couple of is it a modern lighthouse or is it one of the old ones where you're going to change the globe every six months or whatever because the new one i don't think there's any law i don't think i don't think in purchasing the lighthouse house he has to maintain the job of being the lighthouse that's ridiculous well then what are you buying it for because clearly somebody put it there for a reason yeah and they just use tweets now you just stay away from the rocks yeah that's what it just says hashtag stay away from the rocks it just says at you you're a ship's
Starting point is 00:17:15 captain and you just have to look at your notifications every once in a while and it just says at uss american spirits stay away from the rocks. And you're like, whoa, I'm too close to the rocks. Hard to port. Hard to port. So I think, well, Mysterio is probably going to be, like Spider-Man's looking for a new mentor. Yep. And Happy Hogan's bloody off with his bloody ass.
Starting point is 00:17:36 Yeah. So maybe he's looking to Mysterio because he's like, yeah, he'll do. He's slightly older than me. This guy in a cape. Yeah. Wearing the evil villain colours with a fishbowl on his head. Shooting green smoke out of himself. Yeah. Yeah yeah so i guess my question is how mechanically are uh not the illusions yeah but how how is it that fury and maria hill have been fooled by this
Starting point is 00:17:59 guy well the idea is that they've because they were snapped for five years they're out of the game so they're out of the game. So they're kind of trying to catch up on everything. Yeah, right, right, right. And it would also kind of make sense to me if he was from another dimension, because this technology is beyond, if this is all illusions and whatever, it's kind of beyond anything that anybody has built. Except to say, I don't know, Iron Man.
Starting point is 00:18:24 But a giant monster that can throw hundreds of tons of water. But it's not throwing it. I mean, it could be like... Yeah, but you see Peter Parker get like... It could be a hose and a hologram. That's what I'm saying. It's a hologram and a wave machine. It's what it is. And there's a big molten monster knocking down a bridge or whatever.
Starting point is 00:18:36 But yeah, it could all be fake. Yeah. But I think... They're using the technology from Now You See Me 2. It's very possible. But if you're flying in, I'm presuming one of the last ones is the big molten monster yep it's you would you if you'd seen three earlier and they're all holograms you wouldn't care oh i said if you're going into battle you're like this is a pretty real molten monster yeah right yes but i'm thinking maybe like let's take
Starting point is 00:18:59 the water monster i reckon it's just like it's a it's a it's a spout and then he puts sort of he sort of holograms around the edges yes so it looks like a man yeah but realistically it's just a big wall of water yeah and when you're in the wall of water you're not like i don't think those hands look particularly real to me yeah that doesn't have fingerprints on it so i think you'd be like well the last one i fought it and hit me with a ton of water this one's gonna hit me with a ton of lava no fair point anyway i think he's just a guy I'm not ruling out the idea that there are parallel universes There are They've said that there are
Starting point is 00:19:30 But I'm saying this is the fake out Okay I'm putting a small amount of money on it Okay I will put no money on it Alright Would you put getting the Hawkeye haircut on it? Um
Starting point is 00:19:41 No Absolutely not Although friend of the show Beck Petratus Yes From Stupid Old Studios She's got the Hawkeye haircut Yes I don't know Um No Absolutely not Although friend of the show Beck Petratus Yes From Stupid Old Studios She's got the Hawker haircut Yes I don't know
Starting point is 00:19:49 She likes to bloody Have a muck around with her hair Sometimes it's rainbow coloured Sometimes it's all over the place Is it the exact haircut? Yeah I'll find it Fantastic
Starting point is 00:19:58 I'll find it for you Good on Beck She's a superstar Yeah She's really lovely Check out her podcast Kentucky Fried Chattin' Yeah it's good
Starting point is 00:20:04 It's fun Do you like fun things? I like fun things well then you can check it out too yeah yeah uh next bit of news sure we gotta move it along okay let's do it universal is considering a charlie's theron a fast and furious spin-off film presumably where she's good again or what happened who was she in the last she stole vin diesel's baby she was jason statham's sister right yeah no she wasn't his sister was she I don't know I don't think so doesn't matter doesn't matter

Starting point is 00:20:36 the other one the other one the other one Carolyn Mirren Carolyn Mirren there we go didn't she shoot the mother of
Starting point is 00:20:42 Vin Diesel's child dead yeah nah redeem her it's fine I don't care well that's the thing the fact that we're struggling to remember Didn't she shoot the mother of Vin Diesel's child? Dead. Yeah. Nah, redeem her. It's fine. I don't care. Well, that's the thing.
Starting point is 00:20:50 The fact that we're struggling to remember what happened in the previous one. Yeah. It's a real Resident Evil situation. It really is, yeah. What happened in the last one, it doesn't matter. Yeah. Yeah. That's all I have to say about that. All I remember from the last three Fast and Furious movies is Jason Statham shooting all
Starting point is 00:21:03 the guys on the plane while protecting the baby's precious ears. And at the time they drove the car off the top of the building in Dubai or wherever it was. That's all I remember. That was the previous one. Yeah, three movies. Yeah. Those two things. That's it.
Starting point is 00:21:15 You haven't seen all of them anyway, have you? Like there's some in the middle that you've missed. I haven't seen. I don't think I've seen three. No, I haven't seen Fast and Furious, I don't think. Yeah, I saw that one. It's not great. I I haven't seen Fast and Furious, I don't think. Yeah, I saw that one. It's not great. I've seen like one, six, seven, eight, I think.
Starting point is 00:21:29 Well, that's all you need. Yeah. People tell me Tokyo Drift is the hidden gem. I bet it's not. Scott introduces Han, though. Yeah, right. Uh-huh. Yeah, and he'll be back soon, probably.
Starting point is 00:21:38 Uh-huh. Yeah. Also, I saw this bit of news this week that Charlize Theron was offered the role of Wonder Woman's mother. And she was like, what the hell, man? Hippolyta. Yeah. I mean, it also, look. I'd rather have the role of a woman who's inexplicably attracted to Seth Rogen again. Again?
Starting point is 00:21:55 Remember the one with Katherine Heigl? Oh, I thought you meant she'd done it before. Oh, right. Yeah, that's what the movie's about. It's about a woman who was married to Seth Rogen for a while and then divorced, and then she's attracted to him again. Maybe I like him. Maybe I do like him again.
Starting point is 00:22:10 Yeah. That might actually be what it's about, because they were friends when they were kids or whatever, isn't it? Oh, yeah, maybe. Apparently it's really funny. I really want to go see it. But, yeah, I mean, they're ageless on that island and whatever. But it does feel like,
Starting point is 00:22:22 don't you think you could have offered her the role of Wonder Woman or talked to her about that because you probably I mean I like Gal Gadot I think she's a great Wonder Woman but coming off Mad Max think about it don't you think
Starting point is 00:22:32 she would have made it also a good Wonder Woman pretty good yeah and you look at like any of the action movies that she's done she did Atomic Blonde recently that was a good one yeah
Starting point is 00:22:39 look I haven't seen it but I've seen the Stairwell Fire it's like it's just John Wick I've seen the whole movie it's good yeah but I'm saying it's like she can do John Wick stuff or stuff in the sand, whatever. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:48 She can kiss Seth Rogen. She'll do anything. She'll do anything if the bloody money's right, eh? Ooh. Yeah. She could be Artemis, the replacement Wonder Woman from time to time. Yeah, sure.
Starting point is 00:23:00 Anyway, I just thought that was worth bringing up. Wait, and what happened? If Ben Affleck can be Batman... Then anything's possible in the universe. That's what I'm saying. Like, he didn't really bother getting in shape for the last time. Like, I just... Why not?
Starting point is 00:23:13 Just wear a rash guard t-shirt. Just do that. It's fine. She's been doing action movies forever. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway. What are we talking about?
Starting point is 00:23:22 Wait, what's the resolution to that story? I don't even know. I thought there was going to be some sort of... Fast and Furious twist? No, well, any kind of wonder... Like, they offered her the role of Hippolyta and she stormed out. She was like, what the... She was like, taking it back.
Starting point is 00:23:36 And I'm like, what the hell, man? Yeah, right. Next up, though, it's Trailers Ahoy, Mason. Okay, here we go. Here's a Trailers Ahoy. Okay, here we go. If this is Trailers Ahoy and then two foghorns, I'm going to leave legitimately.

Starting point is 00:23:58 Mason trailers ahoy. Ahoy. Mason trailers ahoy. There we go. That's some good stuff. That might be the official Trailers Ahoy theme now. That's from Mime With A Mouth on YouTube. So thank you for that.
Starting point is 00:24:11 Not to discount the previous Trailers Ahoy theme. But that one was better. It Chapter 2. Yeah, all right. As a trailer. Yeah, okay. It's a teaser trailer. It's just a short one.
Starting point is 00:24:21 The bulk of it is a clip from... Have you read it? As women, our life stages come with unique risk factors. Like when our estrogen levels drop during menopause, causing the risk of heart disease to go up. Know your risks. Visit heartandstroke.ca.

Starting point is 00:25:40 Let me tell you all about it. Based on what I know of the book, is this taking some departures from the book? I don't know until it gets to the end and whether he becomes a spider. Okay, right. Yeah. Right.
Starting point is 00:25:51 Because I have seen some of the mini... What was the TV movie or the miniseries or whatever it was. And I know there's a giant spider at the end of that. Yes, there is in the book. It's not really a spider. I'll do a trailer breakdown. I'll talk all about it. But I don't know whether...
Starting point is 00:26:04 You're already sick of talking about this. No, no. i'm happy to talk about it i just don't want to repeat myself i don't um i i don't know i demand you repeat yourself there's there's dimensional stuff which i don't know from the book that i don't know they're going to touch upon well there's a i believe there's a isn't there a good version of it yeah it's a turtle there's a giant but it doesn't come to worth and like do good deeds good deeds. Yeah, right. It just lives out in space. Yeah, okay, right. In the macroverse or whatever. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:34 And I believe also the Pennywise, in the first movie anyway, Pennywise is pretty much, the It is pretty much always Pennywise, right, in the last movie? It doesn't really transform into much else. You might be right. But in the- I know, it's like a zombie and it's like a creepy homeless man. That's right. And it's half a kid or whatever.
Starting point is 00:26:50 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, well, I'm proven wrong very easily. That's okay, Mason. In the book, isn't it a whole bunch of stuff? Yeah. It's mostly not a clown, if I recall. It's mostly a clown, but it does other... It favours being a clown.
Starting point is 00:27:02 But what it does is like... And a vampire approached me, but it wasn't like It favours being a clown. But what it does is like, and a vampire approached me, but it wasn't like a TV vampire. It was way scarier. Like it's all like that. And then this werewolf came up to me, but it wasn't like a movie werewolf. It was much scarier than a regular werewolf.
Starting point is 00:27:17 If you can imagine. There's a lot of that. Yeah, I think we've talked about this before, but it's very much in the H.P. Lovecraft style of describing. It was unimaginable. Indescribable horror. I couldn't even describe it if I tried. Think of the worst thing you could ever think of.
Starting point is 00:27:30 It was scarier than that, I'll tell you what. I'll tell you, don't even. Oh, yucky. Yeah. Yucky. So it's a lot of that. Anyway, the book's good, except for some key elements that are not good. And it also goes forever.
Starting point is 00:27:44 It's a very, very long book and the the book the book intercuts the time period right it's the it's the 50s or whatever and then it's the 70s 80s right but this this we're doing kids yep uh segment the 80s and now we're doing modern day correct in the second one okay that is 100 that's a creepy lady in that in that boy is it yeah is that in the book yes that whole sequence is in the book pretty much okay verbatim so pennywise the clown yeah that's not it's the clown hasn't become the being right the it being it's it's just based its appearance on pennywise yeah all that i talk about it i hate repeating myself well too bad uh that whole story about the backstory and my father came to the town and whatever.
Starting point is 00:28:27 None of that's true. Okay, right. Yeah, there may have been this circus that existed and he kind of maybe got some ideas from it. Oh, because he can alter reality and stuff. Sort of, like to an extent. The powers are vague and it can pretty much, it can look like anything. It's, and yeah, but. But it's not baseball bat proof bat but it can only be like
Starting point is 00:28:47 yeah exactly well it's yeah if if you don't fear it you can beat it up which yeah which i really enjoy yeah that was my favorite part of that movie and again i talked about in the trailer where they just they just rally and beat him up it's really beat him up and scrapped him. It's really funny. Yeah, cool. Are you looking forward to it? I am. Everybody's looking good. I didn't... I missed the last one because I was overseas and you did it with the Two in the Think Tank guys.
Starting point is 00:29:12 That's right. So I haven't actually had a chance to talk about this movie. We're all still spooking from it. Yeah, spooking. I don't think it's a particularly scary movie. No. It's like a level up from Stranger Things. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:29:23 But it's more kind of off-putting. It's unsettling, isn't it? Yeah. Also, I made the mistake in the trailer breakdown of saying that its eyes kind of go askew occasionally. Like one of them will like dive off slightly. And I was like, that's a great CGI thing. And every comment is like, the actor could really do that. Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:42 He can also unhinge his whole face. Is that true? Lift the whole face off and then he's just got dozens of rows of teeth. Really? Yeah, that's true. He's got those weird golden lights in his mouth. Why did he go into acting? I guess to do this one.
Starting point is 00:29:53 Yeah, do this one specifically. Retiring after this? Yeah. Yeah. But also, I think in the books, and I don't know if Pennywise has ever come back after the It book. He's referenced i'm in the stephen king multi yeah but i think there's a chance that you could bring him back if you wanted to do this again yeah right but um yeah i'm really looking forward to it i think it's
Starting point is 00:30:13 going to make a lot of money also like the last one did and people like it premium horror that's all that things that we're doing isn't it yeah that is all those things we're doing yes correct uh i've got another trailer coming up not just yet mason i just i'm just getting you ready but i realized that i looked at it but i didn't really look at it so i'm okay uh it's a watchman trailer we can talk about it now let's talk about it yeah you're gonna do that because we're still in the trailers we're still in it so don't even worry about it i need to do it yeah no it's okay uh a lot of people are saying like is it a sequel this watchman trailer what is it they've said it's a sequel, right?
Starting point is 00:30:45 I believe they have, yes. Yeah. Cool. It does look cool. The only character I recognised is, well, the hundreds of- Ozymandias, maybe? Yeah, Ozymandias and the hundreds of people pretending to be Rorschach. Presumably being set 30 or so years after the original Watchmen.
Starting point is 00:30:59 Yeah, right. Rorschach's diary got out of what happened. Yeah, right. And the squid was a bloody... We're going with squid in the TV version? I can't remember. I think it'll be comic-based. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Do you think that'll confuse people? No. No. They probably won't even show it in its entirety. They'll show a ruined New York City. It was indescribable, this squid. You wouldn't believe it. You wouldn't even believe it.
Starting point is 00:31:20 Bloody New York. Imagine a squid, but you couldn't really look at it properly because it was so gross. Imagine a tentacle that goes all the way down bloody Times Square. What colour was it? I couldn't even tell you, mate. It was indescribable. Imagine the colour purple, but way scarier than purple.
Starting point is 00:31:34 You know what I mean? It's just a spooky purple, you know? Ooh, yucky. Indescribable. Oh, I couldn't even describe it. I tell you what. Yeah, so it looks to be the police are being attacked as well. So the police are masked now.
Starting point is 00:31:52 Because the idea, and spoilers for Watchmen, but you should read it. Yeah. Yeah, the idea of the plan was to drop in the indescribable squid. Yeah. It was very indescribable, actually. Yeah, it was a big old squid. You can see it. There's pictures of it.
Starting point is 00:32:03 All right. That it would unite the world against this interdimensional force that didn't exist Yes, so rather than the Soviet Union and America blowing each other up nuclear style They would instead team up and there would be a world peace Because they'd be like, well what if What if there's another squid In the movie it's what if Dr. Manhattan comes back and destroys us all And in this it's what if there's another squid
Starting point is 00:32:24 What if there's another squid what if there's another squid? What if there's another squid? What if there's another squid? An even bigger squid. An even more indescribably scarier. I couldn't even begin to think about it, Mason. Oh, my God. They're like, the president gets on the TV and he's like, you know how we couldn't describe how scary this last squid was?
Starting point is 00:32:39 What if there was an even bigger, even more indescribable squid than the last time? Anyway, we're teaming up with Russia. Can you imagine? Yeah. But in this, I guess the, yeah, so the Rorschach's diary that revealed the ruse has come out. I do love that idea behind the original Watchmen. I guess that's the point.
Starting point is 00:32:56 Because maybe what he did was a good thing for the greater good, you know? Ozymandias. Yeah, and in Rorschach undoing it, this is the fallout. What would the world have looked like if he hadn't have told everybody that yeah right that the squid was yeah but I feel like that the plan was doomed to to fail someone would have looked at it and gone yeah and also based on earth currently in the real world I think they'd be like I think a lot of politicians would be like yeah but what are the odds it happens again you you know? Don't even worry about it.
Starting point is 00:33:26 I'll be dead by the time it comes back. Exactly. So don't even, just forget about it. And if it does, I'll be able to describe this one. Don't you worry about it. What if we keep using single-use plastics and other indescribable squids are going to come down and kill us all? Nah.
Starting point is 00:33:38 Nah, it's all hype. You've seen those bloody scientists? They're being paid by big indescribable scary squid. Let's make it seem as if what about both sides yeah exactly what do we get
Starting point is 00:33:48 two people yeah exactly so I don't know looks good though does yeah it's got either Crockett or Tubbs from Miami Vice in it
Starting point is 00:33:57 alright there Don Johnson he does have Don Johnson he's a serious actor now is he doing serious things well he was in Hateful Eight
Starting point is 00:34:02 or one of them or the other one yeah right right the other one Django yeah I, right, right. The other one? Django? Yeah, I think it was that one, yeah. Alright, cool. Yeah. He was also in Nash Bridges. As Nash Bridges.
Starting point is 00:34:13 He was Jeffrey Nash Bridges. Yes, yes. Good. Is Bo Bridges in Nash Bridges? He wishes he was in Nash Bridges. I bet he does. Bo Bridges wishes he was in Nash Bridges. I'm not familiar with Nash Bridges. I was like a I know what it is. I've heard of it. It was him and Was it in the 90s. I bet he does. Bo Bridges wishes he was in Nash Bridges. I'm not familiar with Nash Bridges. I was like a cop show. I know what it is.
Starting point is 00:34:26 I've heard of it. It was him and- It was in the 90s, I assume? It was- Yes, it was him. It was a cop show, and it was him and Cheech Marin from Cheech and Chong. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:34:36 Taming up. They were a mismatched cop duo. Wow, went for five years. Yeah. These guys are an unlikely duo. You better believe it. There's a video called Nash Bridges, then and now, 2018. Oh, hello. I can't it. There's a video called Nash Bridges Then and Now 2018.
Starting point is 00:34:46 Oh, hello. I can't wait. Oh, I'm excited. Here we go. I'm sure there's a lot of big Nash Bridges fans. I talk about the bill. Bridge build, as they call them. Do they?
Starting point is 00:34:55 The big fans of Nash Bridges. Bringing people together. Yeah, exactly. I appreciate that. Anything else? I don't think so. What else? It's kind of indescribable, this trailer.
Starting point is 00:35:02 It's indescribable. So there's another, there seems to be a whole bunch of Rorschachs. Yeah. And there seems to be one particular one who kind of has a silvery mask. Oh. What's that guy's deal? I don't know. We don't know.
Starting point is 00:35:14 It's a mystery. It's intriguing, though, isn't it? It is. It's indescribable how silvery his mask is, in a way. I think you nailed it. Okay, cool. Thanks. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:22 And there's another, there appears to be new superheroes have risen up in whatever of have risen up in yes but no i'm really looking forward to this and because this is the guy did the leftovers it could be good yeah and it'll be that i mean again i haven't finished the leftovers but it's a it's a series that had a leftover for some of the leftovers oh i don't mind if i do eat those up in in the morning. Yeah, I get you. Fabrecchi, season of Leftovers. But that was three seasons, right? It was beginning, middle, and it finished, right? So with any luck, this is a series that will finish. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:35:56 We're out after Watchmen. Watchmen's back. DC Clock. DC Clock. I'm not up to date. I think I'm going to... You know what? It was a series that I'm like,
Starting point is 00:36:05 this is going to be the one I get every month. I'm going to get this every month. No, because it's every two months. Whatever. Yeah, but what I'm saying is the reason was because every time I read one, I've forgotten the previous one. I have no idea. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:17 I don't know if it's good or bad. I don't know. I've read it. I think from what I've read of it, elements have been good. A lot of stuff's been really good. I think, and we talked about this, I kind of wish it was just a straight sequel. Watchmen story, me too.
Starting point is 00:36:30 I think that combining with the DC characters is not so great. But anyway, when the trade comes out in five years, I'll read that, I think. Exactly. Yeah. Michael Rooker is apparently in negotiations for King Shark. He says that's not true, but it makes me think. That it is true? Probably is.
Starting point is 00:36:45 Well, he's good friends with James Gunn, doing the Suicide Squad. He'd be a big CGI shark boy. Do you think it'll be a different CGI shark from the one in The Flash? What kind of shark is it in The Flash? It's like a regular shark. No, it'd be a hammerhead.
Starting point is 00:36:56 Hammerhead shark? Definitely a hammerhead. Rook is a hammerhead, for sure. He really is, yeah. And then he can do some solid headbutting. Definitely. And he can look around corners? Yes.
Starting point is 00:37:04 Or he can only look around corners. Yes. Or he can only look around corners. Yes. And he can't see what's directly in front of him. In front of him, yeah. Like the monsters from Riddick. The first Riddick. Do you think they'll give him little horse blinkers with mirrors in them? Oh, that's not a bad idea.
Starting point is 00:37:15 So he can look forward? That's a really good idea. That's what I'd do if I was a hammerhead shark. I'm sure they have an excellent range of vision, Mason. Yeah, probably. Yeah. Thank you. They are some of the world's greatest predators, I guess. The world's greatest. Haven't they ever seen Man, the world's greatest vision, Mason. Yeah, probably. Yeah. Thank you. They are some of the world's greatest predators, I guess.
Starting point is 00:37:26 World's greatest. Haven't they ever seen man, the world's greatest predator, Mason? You better believe it. You know what I mean? Yeah, you could beat one up. Yeah, yep. Yeah, cool. I mean, on land.
Starting point is 00:37:36 Even then, I don't know. It only has to get one lucky bite in. Yeah, one. Yeah, it actually would take me a while to beat up a shark barehanded. I think so, yeah. It would probably die. No, it would definitely die of lack of water. Asphyxiation, one. Yeah, it actually would take me a while to beat up a shark barehanded. I think so, yeah. It would probably die. No, it would definitely die of lack of water. Asphyxiation, yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:49 Before I beat it to death with my bare hands. Yeah. Yeah. But then you could take the credit. Who's going to know? That's true. Well, everyone. Because people would figure it out.
Starting point is 00:37:56 That's true. Nothing else on that, though, I guess? That's about it, I think. Then we've got to talk about the new Disney slate. Okay, let's do it. You ready for this? Yes. Okay, so they've announced movies from 2020 to 2027.
Starting point is 00:38:09 Okay, cool. That's a lot, isn't it? That's a lot of movies, isn't it? That includes, how many Marvel movies does that include? Well, here we go. I can start with that. There's two Marvel movies next year rumoured to be The Eternals and Black Widow. All right, cool.
Starting point is 00:38:20 And then in 2021, there's three. And then in 2022, there's an additional three. So what do you think of that, Mason? That's more Marvel movies. So if you thought they were slowing down, if anything... It's about the same. It's about the same, if not more some years. So over the next three years, there will be, yeah,
Starting point is 00:38:37 however many I said, eight. And we'll probably get a lot of... Like, there's your Doctor Strange twos and your Black Panther twos, but I'd imagine we're going to get some... Guardians 3s. Yeah, exactly. But we're going to get some weirder stuff, I feel, as well. Shang-Chi might finally get a look in.
Starting point is 00:38:50 I think that's the way it's going to go. They've talked about Power Pack and some other stuff. Yeah, right. This Comic-Con, Mason. Yes. This July. I think one of the things about Power Pack, though, if I may, because a lot of the time Power Pack does contain Franklin Richards,
Starting point is 00:39:04 who's Reed and Sue Richards' kid. Right. So maybe they do Fantastic Four first. Oh, yeah. Power Pack. Okay. Or maybe they do, you know what they could do, is they could do Power Pack because it's super-powered little kids.
Starting point is 00:39:15 Yeah. They could do Power Pack and then they save the world and then his parents come and pick him up and it's Reed and Sue Richards. Then you do a Fantastic Four movie. Excellent. Have you seen how the new Reed Richards looks exactly like John Krasinski in the comics? No.
Starting point is 00:39:27 Is that... Is it wishful thinking? Is it wishful thinking or is it one of those... Because it worked for Nick Fury. It did. Is it wishful thinking or is it an artist who just traces a lot? I'd be very curious tonight. Could be both. Could be both, yeah. Do you think that... I mean, that could be...
Starting point is 00:39:44 Again, it did work for Nick Fury. Like, the ultimate Nick Fury did look exactly like Samuel L. Jackson. So maybe they could do this to lure people in. They've definitely talked to John Krasinski. I mean, they spoke to him about Captain America. That's true, yeah. X number of years ago. I mean, what if they were like, listen, how about Reed Richards?
Starting point is 00:39:58 And he's like, I don't want to be in the Fantastic Four. And then they're like, give him this. Send him the latest issue of Fantastic Four. Look how good you look in the costume, in your adventures. Send him a picture of Robert Downey Jr. in his lighthouse, but Photoshop his head onto it. And then you send a photo of John Krasinski, but he's in a coffin. And then it's like, but see how you look in that.
Starting point is 00:40:20 Make your choice, Krasinski. He'd do it, right? Yeah, I think he'd do it, sure. Jack Ride or whatever. Yeah, for sure. Why not? And he's long, Krasinski. He'd do it, right? Yeah, I think he'd do it, sure. I bet he's Jack Ryan or whatever. Yeah, for sure. Why not? And he's long, like Reed Richards. He's long and lean.
Starting point is 00:40:30 So there you go. Yeah. I mean, they're not going to get back Yo and Griffith. He's long and loose and full of juice. Acting juice. You know? He's ready to...
Starting point is 00:40:39 I was going to say something. I'm still going to say it. All right, cool. You want to know the updates for Star Wars? Yes. The Rise of Skywalker will be the last Star Wars movie until December 2022. Okay.
Starting point is 00:40:52 And we're going to get 2022, 2024, 2026 for the new trilogies. That means we've got a three-year Star Wars break, which is good for you, right? Oh, so good. But do you think it's going to stop the endless barrage of news and also entertainment that we're getting on other services including Disney Plus?
Starting point is 00:41:08 Absolutely not. And do you think we're going to not talk about those things, Mason? No, I think we are going to talk about those things. That's right. So just don't get ahead of yourself, all right? Don't think that you're getting out of Star Wars news. I didn't think even for a second that we'd be somehow bereft of Star Wars news. Okay.
Starting point is 00:41:21 I think they're just going to spread it out. It's going to be like, oh, my God, look at the space age utensils at the cantina in this Star Wars news. Okay. I think they're just going to spread it out. It's going to be like, oh, my God, look at the space age utensils at the cantina in this Star Wars set. Look at them. They've released stills of the cutlery. Delightful. Every week it's going to be that. We're going to have to have an opinion on the cutlery.
Starting point is 00:41:37 And here's Blue Milk Nerds. What do you think? It's a different shade of blue this time. What does it mean? Have they mixed it with the milk from that weird planet that Luke Skywalker drinks the milk? Have they mixed the milk? They might have mixed the milk.
Starting point is 00:41:50 Some people do different variations on milk, you know? That's true, yeah. I know Matt Stewart enjoys a half almond milk, half soy milk on his cereal. That's wild. That is wild. I'm going to do that one day. I think I could.
Starting point is 00:42:03 All right. But here's the interesting thing. There were two series of Star Wars films that were announced. One was Rian Johnson and one was David Benioff and Debbie Weiss. The Game of Thrones guys. Game of Thrones guys and The Last Jedi guy. Guys, John Campion, who's a guy who used to work for Collider, now he does his own thing,
Starting point is 00:42:19 says that he heard from an inside source that Rian Johnson is out and they're going with the Game of Thrones guys. I wish it was the other way if i'm honest well look if i if i may i've i've heard a number of times this week people saying like that exact sentiment like because again i haven't quite i'm not up to date people hate both that's true yeah some people were like i wish it was michael bay nobody's nobody's ever said what are you saying i don't know are you drunk, I wish it was Michael Bay. Nobody said that. Nobody's ever said that. What are you saying? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:42:46 Are you drunk? Yes. I wish it was Michael Bay. I want to see him driving in the ground. Yeah. I mean, a lot of people, having not caught up with Game of Thrones this season yet. But you will. Because there's two episodes left, right?
Starting point is 00:43:00 Yeah. At time of recording. I've heard a lot of people being like, this is the worst season yet. Yeah, we'll talk about it either next week or week after. Yeah, right. There is still some good stuff in it, but yeah. See, and that's the thing, because I got the sense, again, being not a huge Game of Thrones fan, I'm like, well, this season will be the best for me, because it's got the fewest number of characters.
Starting point is 00:43:23 And it's going to get to the point point yeah well then you might very much enjoy enjoy this one yeah it's not it's not bad it's still better than most television yeah right but yeah anyway we'll talk about it when we do our game of thrones the got boat bros will return for the final time until the prequels george rr martin said there's like three other series in development at the moment even though they've cancelled eight of them so all game of thrones related so i assume so, yes. So this would be pre winter is coming Game of Thrones.
Starting point is 00:43:50 I think there's one with Naomi Watts which is about the long night or something. Game of Thrones Summer Special. Hawaiian. Game of Thrones goes Hawaii. Game of Thrones Swimsuit Special. Remember the Marvel Swimsuit Special, that comic? Why did they do that do i don't know they
Starting point is 00:44:05 tried to they tried to do one release recently it was the marvel summer special but it got cancelled quite recently that's why i thought i thought about it there was a there was solicitation for it in like the you know all the all the comic book stores order in advance it was solicited it was like you can order this and then they were like we're cancelling it now so who knows what about that is any you is if you want to see any of those characters naked kissing anybody else any other fictional character
Starting point is 00:44:28 you can just google it there's no call for this I guess that's true you're absolutely right I'm for it is what I'm saying but there's no market no that's an odd thing to put out nowadays
Starting point is 00:44:39 but I think it'd be more tongue in cheek now you're probably right yeah exactly it'd be Wolverine but he'd have sand in his claws. Yeah, exactly. And you can see his dong.
Starting point is 00:44:50 Yeah, exactly, yeah. So what would you rather see, though? I mean, you're not up to date on Game of Thrones, but where you're at with Game of Thrones, what would you rather see? I'd be way more inclined to see a Rian Johnson trilogy. Because he's going to try some more stuff. Again, I think we'd both rather a big swing and a miss than same old, same old.
Starting point is 00:45:09 I mean, that's not to say, I mean, because a lot of Game of Thrones is quite good. Yeah, that's true. That's not to say that either can't be great. But I think if it's not Rian Johnson, we're never going to hear the end of it. How the fans, the true fans won and whatever. Yeah, right, right, right. I'm not interested in that. That's true, yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:26 We're never going to stop hearing about it. Next up, we've got Avatar has been pushed back until 2021. Okay, all right. I saw a tweet. Well, that's because he wants to factor in pre-sales, you know. He wants to get $3 billion worth of pre-sale tickets before it comes out. Well, that's true, but also then you can intersperse them
Starting point is 00:45:43 between Star Wars films. So we're going to get a December of Avatar, Star Wars, Avatar, Star Wars. Yeah. Until one of them tanks. And it really could be either. Yeah. Like I, yeah. But I saw a tweet from somebody that it showed every year that Avatar was set for release.
Starting point is 00:46:02 And it's nearly every year since 2014. Avatar 2. Yeah, right. It just keeps getting pushed back. It's amazing. But again, you can't rule out James Cameron. It could be amazing. It's true. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:11 This is fantastic. On the X-Men front. Oh, yes. Gambit is dead. Again. Well, officially. Or the character is dead. No, I mean, just.
Starting point is 00:46:21 The Marvel editorial were like, we're sick of this. Just say he's dead i've had a bloody gutful so that's interesting isn't it uh and not surprising and i thought it was dead but same i thought i thought everybody was out the last time we checked in on this but now they're double out yes i mean then again you never know maybe it's one of those marvel movies but why would they do just Gambit? Maybe. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:50 I mean, that's what they did with the cinematic universe to start with. That's true, yeah. It was like, what do we have left? That's a really good point. And in this instance, we can't do Phoenix twice. No. We can't do it for a third time, so let's do Gambit, just Gambit for once. I think Marvel would just go, yeah, we'll do Phoenix again, but we'll do it properly because they did Spider-man again that's true they did yeah anyway i guarantee that we won't
Starting point is 00:47:09 be seeing gambit for a while mason hello what if what if they just bring him in and they're like okay guys um in the in the marvel cinematic universe mutants can only telekinetically charge up playing cards that's all they've got. That's it. It's me, Professor X. Like all the characters are the same. Magneto's still around. He was a prisoner of war. Still got the helmet? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:34 He was in an internment camp, a concentration camp in World War II, but he escaped because he could charge up playing cards. It's all just a big conspiracy by... You know what? If I could think of the name of that playing card company man what you would have nailed that oh my god this would have gone viral you could have made a video out of it would have just gone i would have gone gang busters we're gonna we would have got sponsored by that playing card probably right you know thanks a lot mason oh no i should have boned up on my playing card company trivia definitely
Starting point is 00:48:03 should have uh the other bit of fantastic news is you're Googling that playing card company. I'm happy to pause for that. Okay. Wolverine escapes from Weapon X just playing cards. Just playing cards through the gates. Because there's a scientist there just shuffling a deck of cards next to him when he's in the tank. Yep, exactly.
Starting point is 00:48:20 Bicycle is the name of the most famous playing card company. Just Bicycle. They're called Bicycle playing cards. It's spelt like bicycle. Bicycle, yes. That's most famous playing card. Just Bicycle. They're called Bicycle playing cards. It's spelt like bicycle? Bicycle, yes. That's confusing. No, they're good cards. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:28 Yeah. That was probably invented, though, that company, in a time when the bicycle was new. And they're like, the bicycle is hot and fresh. It's exactly. We need a hot and fresh name. Exactly. Bicycle.
Starting point is 00:48:38 Yeah. The New Mutants has been pushed back until next year. Just bin it. Enough with the charade. Come on. Yeah, uh-huh. Do you think we're going to see that movie theatrically from Disney? No.
Starting point is 00:48:51 I don't know. Is it worth putting out? Would it do more harm than good? You might recoup some losses, but also Disney didn't pay for it. That's true, yeah. So they don't need to make any money back on it. That's true, yeah. Yeah, you're right.
Starting point is 00:49:06 Look, I don't know. Playing cards come through the wall, you know. We're in a spooky house full of exploding playing cards. Spooky house full of all the ghosts of playing cards, yeah. Yeah, nice. Here's the other thing, and people aren't too rapt about this. Yes. But Disney are only going to release something like five to six Fox movies a year.
Starting point is 00:49:21 So the output of, you know, know like your aliens and your whatever whatever else they do right i looked back at previous years and recently it's about 10 to 12 so there's also there's jobs associated with that exactly as soon as they merge their fights and people also i heard this that apparently you know even though fox have never been particularly great as a company apparently if you're a you're a cinema owner and you call them up or you email them and you say, hey, we'd like to run, I don't know, a screening of Die Hard or something like that or Alien because it's the anniversary, they'll send you a print.
Starting point is 00:49:54 Oh, really? But Disney are really bad at that. If you're like, hey, we'd like to screen The Lion King, they're just like, absolutely not. And maybe it's just because they're merging now and communications are's a bit, you know, communications are a bit down. Apparently that's happening now. You'll be like, hey, Alien Screening, you know, it's 40th anniversary. Can we get a copy of that?
Starting point is 00:50:12 They're like, no. So that might be a bit of trouble. Because there's a lot of, there's a great cinema in Melbourne called the Aster. Yes. And they do, they're like a repertory cinema and they do like, you know, bold films and every night's a different film kind of thing. A different film. Every night's a different film kind of thing. A different film? Every night's a different film.
Starting point is 00:50:26 Yeah. So, you know, that's a shame if Disney are now putting everything in a vault. Don't put Die Hard in a vault. Put Die Hard 5 in a vault, you know? Is Die Hard even at 20th Century Fox? I think so. Okay. I believe you.
Starting point is 00:50:38 All right, do it. Apropos of nothing and the lies you tell. Thank you. I guess we'll get the Apple guy here. Look how nice that bicycle playing card looks. That's a slick card. It's a slick looking card, right? Good font.
Starting point is 00:50:50 Standard. A standard card. What year are they from? They're from all over the place. No, what year are they from? Like, when were they invented? Yeah. I'll find out.
Starting point is 00:50:57 What do you think I meant? What year did they release? No, I mean, what year? What did you think I meant? I thought you meant, like, what year is that specific card from? Why would I give a fuck about that? I don't know. 1885.
Starting point is 00:51:10 There you go. The bicycle was hot. Yeah, nice. It was the dabbing of 1885. Absolutely it was. They were trying to beat out Penny Farthing playing card company. All right. Here's something you'll like.

So they're back to the drawing board. Back to the sleepy time chamber. Yes. They'd have to have that, though, because you've got to test them.

Starting point is 00:54:58 But Andrew Levins is here from many a podcast. From the Hey Fam podcast. From the Serious Issues podcast. From the All the Small Games podcast. From the Mitchinam podcast. From the Serious Issues podcast. From the All the Small Games podcast. From the Mitchin podcast. Have I named all the podcasts? I lost count. It's on me if you did.
Starting point is 00:55:13 And also the Planet Broadcasting Great Mates group where you were one of the admins. The admin in charge of that group making it happen. If that microphone is annoying, you can adjust it at any point. Or get rid of it completely. Just throw it away. Just yell from the corner. Yeah, that's annoying. You can adjust it at any point. Or get rid of it completely. Just throw it away. Just yell from the corner. Yeah, that's fine. We're in such a great sound acoustically safe place.
Starting point is 00:55:30 It's beautiful. Last time I came here, you didn't have this studio. No. It's still got a ways to go, but it's good. If you could shout directly into the acoustic tiles. If you talk around it, we're going to get a lot of echo. You should be very proud of yourself they're actually on the wall now yes that's right we did move some out somewhere
Starting point is 00:55:49 on the table i thought i was gonna get here and you're like you're gonna be like there's your seat levin's and it'll be a pile of soundproof tiles it very nearly happened yeah because i was like we should put these up i'm like i want to put them up can we just rest them against chairs forever let's sleep on them yeah that's right maybe that's the life hack. Maybe the professionals just leave a pile in the corner. You just unbox the pile and leave them. Absolutely. You ever see a stand-up gig and the stand-up comedian's just like, we're not going to use a microphone.
Starting point is 00:56:15 We're going to put it to the side. That's when your body readies itself to not laugh. Exactly. I'm going to tell them how it is. Why would anybody do that, though? What's the point of that? No, usually if it's a small crowd it seems weird if it's just like them and a microphone and three people but
Starting point is 00:56:29 isn't it weirder though if they nod at a microphone because then it's just a yeah it's a miscalculation guy just like yeah hammering away it's bad it's like having a one-sided conversation where you're not allowed to talk and they're telling you stuff about how stuff is oh really stuff you know speaking of detective pikachu it's funded into cinemas like lightning like a like a pikachu Stuff is stuff. Oh, really? You know? Speaking of, Detective Pikachu, it's funded into cinemas like lightning, like a Pikachu. Here we go. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:52 This guy knows his stuff. I know my stuff. Well, first of all, do you want to just recap where everybody is with Pokemon? What's their knowledge? What's their fandom? Where are we at? I've seen Pokemon, the first movie.
Starting point is 00:57:03 Yes. That's it. And? And you loved it. No, I hated it no i hated it people would know that if they were one of the few people who watched the video we did on it before it got uh destroyed youtube yeah that's right what about you levin i created pokemon whoa it is so you have to restore that video yeah actually i was the one who took it oh my god i mean i'm actually here today to serve you a subpoena.
Starting point is 00:57:28 It's all been leading up to this. Were you the right age for this when it started? I was just a little bit older, but I went on a, you know when you're just a little bit too old to go on a family holiday? Yes. And so I was in middle high school and went to, my family used to save money by going to a, used to go, let me finish.
Starting point is 00:57:51 You shouldn't have taken a breath, Lemons. We used to go to a beach club in winter. Okay. We would go to a beach resort of the coast in like July. They weren't tricked into a timeshare, were they? No, no pyramid schemes.
Starting point is 00:58:09 But, so my sisters... Was this in New South Wales? Yeah, yeah. My sisters would go to the kids club all day
Starting point is 00:58:14 and I'd be like, I don't want to go to the kids club. Yeah. And one of the younger kids had a Game Boy and so I just spent like an entire week
Starting point is 00:58:21 in a hotel room playing Pokemon Red when it came out. What did this kid do? He was in the kids club. He was having fucking mud crab races with Froggy the Clown. I don't understand any of that. All the younger listeners can relate.
Starting point is 00:58:39 Wait, so this clown character. Froggy the Clown. Froggy the Clown. He was a famous clown? Or was he a creation of the hotel? Was it like a franchise? Like you could lease out the name? So like you would go to the kids club and it was just run by Froggy the Clown,
Starting point is 00:58:57 who I assumed during the summer months was like a surfer. And then as soon as it got cold, he was like, oh the clown suits back on that's how clowned up was he like always every day every single day he was hit in the surf he was we thought we were once we were out to dinner outside of the resort one night and froggy the clown was there outside of makeup and the magic was gone i bet it was that's why so many surfers are after that endless summer they travel the world yeah because if winter catches up with him they have to put the clown out for exactly as soon as they have one day up with them, they have to put the clown out for you. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:59:25 As soon as they have one day without a barrel. They don't even put the makeup on. It just appears on. They need the ocean to wash it away. I get it. Yeah. Oh, man. So you liked it, obviously.
Starting point is 00:59:36 Froggy's Clown Club? Yeah, you're into it. Yeah, no, Pokemon Red, that was the first game. Obviously, you had two games. You had Pokemon Red, Pokemon Blue on the original Game Boy. And that was like my first ever RPG I played. Okay, right. And yeah, it was one of those games that like,
Starting point is 00:59:54 because I think they were airing the anime on Cheese TV in Australia at the time. And that didn't appeal to me at all, but the game I loved. Yeah. I think a lot of people fall into that category though. I think the game has surpassed they always have they always released them in pairs it's always been yeah so now it's gold and silver is the uh the next one's coming out fire and not sword and shield that's right but then there's and they'll have a third one so the original was like red and blue and then a little
Starting point is 01:00:21 bit later was yellow in which you had Pikachu with you the whole time but now there's going to be sword and shield and people think that it's going to be called Pokemon Gun which I hope is real are there guns
Starting point is 01:00:34 in the Pokemon universe? no there's no Pokemon that looks like a gun I'm probably wrong or even just guns this probably one looks like an old timey cannon or something
Starting point is 01:00:43 Team Rocket is like just packing heat. Just cut a gun, yeah. It's Pokemon Sword Shield, and then that screen they put up at horse races, and then you put a Pokemon behind it and you shoot it if it breaks its leg or something.
Starting point is 01:00:56 Pokemon Glue Factory. So Pokemon, all the games, is it like an RPG? So you go from town to town and you don't fight? Yeah, and then you just find other kids who have been finding wild animals and you fight their wild animals. Cool, nice. That makes sense.
Starting point is 01:01:12 I played a little bit, not as much as you, it would say. I mean, I've only finished... I played Pokemon Red and then I played a few years later on the DS Heart Gold, which is a remake of Pokemon Gold and Silver. Okay, right. And then I've played the most recent one that they put out on Switch last year,
Starting point is 01:01:29 the Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu. Yeah. Or Eevee. I've got Eevee. I've got Eevee. Because Angus, who I do HeyFam with, demanded that he gets Pikachu. Yes.
Starting point is 01:01:39 Which is a totally normal thing for a co-host to do. Definitely. You guys know you're both adults, right? You could both buy the Pikachu one, right? For the good of content, I wanted to let our listeners know if my version was better. And you know what? I think Eevee is a bit cuter than Pikachu.
Starting point is 01:01:54 What are the differences between these games, though, generally? Is it an aesthetic thing? There's different Pokemon in each game. Yeah. And, like, I don't think there's much more. Like the map's the same.'s much like the maps the same no they're all they're all the same i've never actually played you know both of each color at the same time okay yeah fair enough some fan you are they've also played like a ton of the
Starting point is 01:02:14 spin-off games there's a bunch of i loved pokemon snap and nintendo 64 which is like a yeah i played a photography game yeah i played well we did play a ton of that, that arena fight of Rock, Paper, Scissors one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Was that one called? Really simple. That game used to cheat, though. I just thought Pokemon Arena or something like that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:32 You say that like I'm supposed to remember. No, I remember because I remember getting furious that it would, like, it would always roll or get the thing, whatever it needed, and I would always get thumps. Oh, yeah, nice. And I think it cheated. I don't know that.
Starting point is 01:02:44 Two years ago ago i got addicted to a free game that they put out on mobile phones called uh magic carp jump oh i thought you're gonna say the other one that everybody was playing no not pokemon go i played that for like a day and i was like no this is this is this crashes too much and like i i walking somewhere with i had a guy in my apartment building who used to get in his car and drive really slowly up and down the road because it would register him as walking so he could hatch eggs or whatever in Pokemon Go. So he wouldn't walk?
Starting point is 01:03:13 No. That's great. He wouldn't get like the one benefit out of playing this game. I bet in China there's an industry in that. There's like a dude and he's got like 50 phones in his car. Oh, no, absolutely.
Starting point is 01:03:26 And he just drives real slowly down the freeway. And then swipes across it. There is an amazing image. I think he's in Korea and it's an older guy who has like all of these phones like strapped to him. Yeah. Like Mary Poppins. Who's that guy?
Starting point is 01:03:42 Dick Van Dyke. Dick Van Dyke and Mary Poppins. But instead of instruments he has Pokemon Go mobile phones for other people I guess and he also has a Cockney accent yeah he's great
Starting point is 01:03:52 brilliant not Cockney is it Cockney I think he's a Cockney I mean it was the worst Cockney accent ever committed to film but it was Cockney yeah for sure
Starting point is 01:03:59 we can all agree Magikarp Jump was like this game where you play like the most useless Pokemon the fish who and you just had to try and jump as high as you could but it was like this game where you play like the most useless pokemon yeah the fish who and you just had to try and jump as high as you could but it was like this cycle like you would jump until you couldn't jump no more then it would be like okay you retire now magic up time to go
Starting point is 01:04:15 get a new magic up and then your magic up would like slowly jump a little bit higher as it replaced the other one right did it ever evolve uh, but if it did, it evolves into a dragon that I will never in my entire life know how to pronounce the name of. Gar-a-dos? Gary, Gary Doss. Gary Doss. Inventor of Doss. Yes.
Starting point is 01:04:37 So, but then what happens to the game then? When you evolve, it's like, oh, no, your magic cup evolved. Better choose a new one. And, like, I just got stuck in this loop I was like I've got to beat this you have been punished for success yeah
Starting point is 01:04:48 is it like cookie clicker yes very close to one of those they're like what they call like passive games or whatever yeah right okay okay so have either of you guys
Starting point is 01:04:55 played detective pikachu no the game this is allegedly based on this movie well isn't there a particular version of the game that it is based on or something
Starting point is 01:05:03 yeah so it's like a story based 3ds game where yeah you play a boy who's lost his father and found a talking pikachu and together you try and solve the crime because we copped a lot of flack i think initially because we're like well this guy this this movie isn't you know people were like is this going to finally be the movie that breaks the video game curse and you said and i said well this is i said this isn't really based on a video game because i didn't know detective pikachu existed as a game i'm like well this is a you know it's a it's a weird variation of pikachu the game with the rpg and the thing and your
Starting point is 01:05:33 mentions lit up my menchies listen here my poor menchies um and so but yeah so this is based on this game but i i'm curious to know how accurate it is. I guess there's a boy with a missing father, so that's something. Yeah, I meant to read the plot of the video game before coming here to see, because when we do talk about the movie, I was like, was this in the game?
Starting point is 01:05:57 Yeah. Is there a point where you have to threaten Mr. Mime by miming setting him on fire? For a minute I'm like, is this movie Robocop? What is happening? This is horrendous. Anyway, we all saw this movie. Before we get into it, even though we are already into it, I guess, in a way.
Starting point is 01:06:18 Box office, I do this every week. I don't know why. Does anyone care? I love stats. Thanks, Levins. I'm the numbers guy. Because Mason's always like, I don't know, yes or no. That's not to say I'm not interested.
Starting point is 01:06:28 I'm fascinated every week he gives me a figure and then he tells me whether that figure is good or not because I genuinely don't know because it's so much money. Yes. Regardless. It's $170 million worldwide and it's $58 million in the US. That sounds like a lot. You confirmed Levens beat Endgame.
Starting point is 01:06:45 Yeah, yeah. I think only in America yeah they toppled only in America you know yeah okay so there you go I'm not really surprised
Starting point is 01:06:52 by this I mean wait is it good or not that's good what's no that's good okay good I mean you know I think
Starting point is 01:06:59 beat Endgame it beat Endgame in its third week so that's that's good but yeah I think because I saw this with my two nephews. Oh, wait, hold on.
Starting point is 01:07:07 Whether or not it tops Walt Disney's Avengers Endgame for the weekend, maybe it hasn't yet. Okay. Damn you, Forbes.com. God damn it, Forbes.com. Mason, I'm going to ask you, though. What do you think the story was? That's right, Mason.
Starting point is 01:07:20 Wait, before we even get into this, I'll save you. Thank you. If you have not seen this movie yet, obviously don't listen to the spoilers if you care about it, but be like me and go into this knowing that it's a Pokemon movie in which Ryan Reynolds is a voice and don't look at the cast beyond that because I was so surprised when a certain cast member showed up
Starting point is 01:07:41 and then to see the extent of his role in this movie. Right, okay. We'll get to this in a moment. I'm trying to think of who that is. We'll get into it. Back to the thing that you were saying. All right, hang on. Okay, so it's a magical Pokemon world.
Starting point is 01:08:02 It's Rhyme City is where the humans and the Pokemon live together but then there's a guy and he's he's a kid and his dad's a detective oh yeah
Starting point is 01:08:12 he's a real estate agent yes what is his how pathetic where's his dad he's an insurance adjuster where's where's his
Starting point is 01:08:19 where's his dad where's his dad gone he's gotta go to Rhyme City to find out but then he meets Pikachu but it's a token Pikachu what a world we live in what a world Where's his dad? Where's his dad gone? He's got to go to Rhyme City to find out. But then he meets Pikachu. But it's a talking Pikachu. What a world we live in.
Starting point is 01:08:29 What a world. But only he can know the Detective Pikachu, the one that can talk. I liked Justice Smith in this. Yeah, he was great. I didn't like him in Jurassic World 2, Fallen Kingdom 2, whatever. He was that guy. Yeah, I didn't like that at all for that movie. I love that movie.
Starting point is 01:08:45 Why do you love it? What are you doing? Okay, the first half of the movie where it's, you know, like escape the volcano island. Like, whatever, that's fine. The second half movie where it becomes... Dinosaur auction. Dinosaur auction horror movie.
Starting point is 01:08:59 Horror revenge movie. That rules. That was so much fun. Here's my hypothesis. I've floated to james he hates the idea all jurassic park slash jurassic world movies are about the same in quality that's my hypothesis the first one is like near perfect and he hasn't seen two or three so he says that apropos of missing out on a bunch of several actually i have a soft spot for jurassic park
Starting point is 01:09:22 three even though i know yeah i like two and three as well i don't like two yeah but uh jurassic world 2 i thought was fucking awesome i disagree greatly but i like the director i just don't like that as a person yeah he seems nice hey look i just i just i don't like you i'm a fan of you it's not the thing you've done you're very personable yeah but no i thought the the very few human characters they're in this because it's like it's more pokemon focused obviously that's what people are there for but yeah i thought i saw some people say yeah he's not really a lead he doesn't really carry it well but i thought he was really good and really funny i think the banter between him and and pikachu was quite good actually and they had ryan reynolds on set for a lot of this didn't they
Starting point is 01:10:01 well so yeah it's been so funny that all the press for this movie has been Ryan Reynolds. Yeah. And it's like, was he actually on set the whole time? I've seen some times he was, but yeah. It feels like he could have recorded all his lines in like three days. Definitely.
Starting point is 01:10:16 I saw an interview with him and apparently a lot of it was over the phone. Like he would just be in a city doing something else and they'd have a studio there and he'd be like, all right's today's lines he'd be making gin videos with hugh jackman or whatever yeah right exactly that's true yeah well that's okay well i understand that but you do even though there is that you do get the sense that some of it is improv you know what i mean like the banter feels natural a lot of the time no you didn't feel that really like it felt like there was like 10 different takes okay right of like different variations of the one joke.
Starting point is 01:10:46 And they were like, yeah, we'll go with that one. Okay, fair enough. Yeah. Well, I thought it was the thing I said. You just want a new Anchorman, don't you? You just want this generation's Anchorman. That's very much so. But it's okay, I thought, in general.
Starting point is 01:11:00 I didn't love it. You being a huge Pokemon fan. I'm enormous. The biggest fan in this room. Far more so than Froggy's clan. Sure, if you had to choose. That series fell off. Detective Froggy was shit.
Starting point is 01:11:14 Winter's here. There's been another murder at the beach club. Someone stole all the hermit crabs. What are we going to race tonight? I think you definitely get more out of this as a fan of Pokemon because my nephews, and I don't think this is just a kid's thing, they just loved seeing the different Pokemon. And every time there was a different one,
Starting point is 01:11:34 he turned to me and named what the Pokemon was. And I was like, shut the fuck up. No, I didn't say that. It was great. I saw it with just randos, just at a regular screening. And it was just a bunch of kids who didn't seem to enjoy it at all. Like, it was just... It's a weird middle ground, you said to me, right?
Starting point is 01:11:51 Well, yeah, I mean, they didn't seem to react at all. Like, they reacted at some, like, you know, fart jokes or whatever. There was at least two of them. Yeah, but they didn't seem to... They didn't like how he liked coffee? No, they didn't like that. They didn't like that adult concept of enjoying a beverage they've never had before so yeah no i don't know how did it see i think i think the banter between justice and and ryan reynolds characters was good but what was we had we had a uh i feel like that
Starting point is 01:12:17 was like a little bit tongue-in-cheek and a little bit like this is a bit self-aware and you know it's pokemon it's a bit silly but we're having fun but then i feel like we had the the roving reporter character who felt very much again based only in my experience of seeing pokemon the first movie felt very much like this is your classic pokemon character who just has weird like headstrong aspirations of being a yeah and just kind of like these weird like a lot of declarations about i'm gonna be the best reporter in the city kind of thing like i don't think she worked at all, that character. Well, only because they didn't do much with her. I thought she was great when you meet her for the first time
Starting point is 01:12:51 and she sees Justice's character come home to his dad's apartment and check his mail and she like, you know, like does her little monologue at him. I thought that was really funny. Doesn't do much else. Yeah. I mean, she was the owner of Psyduck. That was her
Starting point is 01:13:05 character oh yeah that that duck yeah yeah well i need him later but that actor's really good have you seen big little lies i haven't no yeah yeah okay what's her name i don't know psyduck yeah okay well that makes sense but you know what is great about this movie though it looks spectacular All the Pokemon And the creatures Look great And you look at like Sonic
Starting point is 01:13:29 And that's why You don't look at Sonic Do not look at Sonic Both video game movies Sonic had to design One character They had to do one character James Marsden
Starting point is 01:13:38 Yes And they nailed it He looks great Yeah But every one of these Pokemon Looked First of all you recognise them But they also didn't look Weird and monstr of all, you recognize them, but they also
Starting point is 01:13:45 didn't look weird and monstrous. Well, you only recognize them because someone in your cinema was calling out. No, that's true. He recognized them. Yeah. I should say. But they're cute and they seem, you know, they fit in this universe. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:58 Whenever the camera zoomed out and you saw like, you know, all the little details of like, you know, certain Pokemon like flying in the sky together or huddled in like a street corner somewhere yeah that's when or you know when you first see the city and you've got like that match up dude uh directing traffic yes and shit like that and a snorlax yes i know pokemons um that that was why that was like when the movie felt strongest to me yeah um i agree with that and i especially enjoyed like the first half of it um and then i like the first half of it um and then i enjoyed the second half of it for entirely different reasons mostly because it became it went from like a pretty good movie to an extremely fun bad movie okay sure was that
Starting point is 01:14:35 because like you said to me mason it's just holograms telling people answers to questions i don't understand why in a pokemon movie they also were like also we've got hologram technology yeah this is going to become a bigger plot device than pokemon yeah it's the future or something isn't it is this set in the pokemon pokeverse the movie universe so they referenced 20 years ago when mu was created which a lot of people think actually just my friend jordan my friend jordan uh who who texted me that he gasped when he first saw a Ditto Transform in this movie. Whoa! Gasped? Did he like it?
Starting point is 01:15:09 Yeah, he just yelled out, gasp! But yeah, he was thrilled. He now thinks that this movie is canonically in the same universe as the first Pokemon movie. So what do you think that means, though, for going forward? Why don't we talk about them more in spoilers? Well, yeah, I want to talk about how I mentioned earlier, I didn't know who the cast was.
Starting point is 01:15:33 So I didn't know Bill Nighy was in this movie. No, I didn't know that either. So when he shows up, I was like, oh, shit, Bill Nighy's in this movie. And Bill Nighy is an actor who has tricked the world into thinking that he's an actor of calibre. Because he's British. Yeah, but he is. But you just think that he has some classic,
Starting point is 01:15:52 highly regarded movie that he's been in. But if you go through all of his filmography, it's beyond Edgar Wright's movies. Love Actually. I mean, that's not a good movie. The Boat That Rocked. Yeah. He hasn't really been in like he's just
Starting point is 01:16:07 he is this like Witch Hiker's Guide yeah anyway sorry guys he is this like he's a character actor I guess yeah in pretty
Starting point is 01:16:16 you know mainstream British movies but he hasn't got that like you know he's a TV actor first yeah okay yeah I don't even know I don't even know before
Starting point is 01:16:24 Pirates of the Caribbean as well. Oh, yeah, that's true. He was good in that, I think, probably. The squid. Yeah, all squidward. Yeah. But, yeah, so when he shows up, I was like, oh, my God, Bill Nye's in this movie.
Starting point is 01:16:35 Oh, my goodness. To be, like, obviously when you first meet him and he's like, you know, he's the father of this guy who hates Pokemon and he's dedicated his life to Pokemon and people living in harmony together. And then when you learn more about his character and the things that Bill Nighy has to say in the final act of the movie,
Starting point is 01:16:58 I just found that so enjoyable on an absolutely bad movie level. And I've been hearing a lot of people say it's broken the curse it's the first good video game movie. I think it's fun
Starting point is 01:17:10 and I think this is a good movie. I think Tomb Raider the new Tomb Raider is better than this. And you hated that didn't you? No, I thought it was fine. I think it's fine.
Starting point is 01:17:20 Yeah. Have you seen it? No. Okay. It's not brilliant. It takes a really hard turn into like fan service right at the end. Yeah. Which I think that one's pretty good. Yeah. No. Okay, yeah. It's not brilliant. It takes a really hard turn into fan service right at the end, which I think spoils it a little bit. Like right at the end, she gets the two guns from the video game.
Starting point is 01:17:33 I'll take two guns, she says. Like the Game Tomb Raider. One for each hand. Yeah. But yeah, the problem with this movie, I think, is that the plot we get, the detectiving plot, is too complicated for little kids, but it's also too simple for adults. There's a lot of... Again, it's just walking to a location and then some exposition happens that explains what they need to know.
Starting point is 01:18:01 And then they move to another location. They get some more exposition. And then the final act is off the wall bonkers yeah exactly yeah like I think jump the shark
Starting point is 01:18:09 and now I don't know how they would continue movies yeah in this universe doing another one yeah they kind of wrote themselves into a corner
Starting point is 01:18:17 should we talk spoilers then I guess sure look I'm gonna say look for me worst movie ever I think I liked it
Starting point is 01:18:24 but I don't care so i guess it's best but i think if you're a pokemon fan you'd enjoy this a lot more than someone who knows next to nothing about pokemon yeah i'd be interested to know people could email in if they're huge pokemon fans did they enjoy this because i feel like i know some people don't like it for that reason they're like well this well, this isn't really Pokemon. This is just Deadpool. I think to be a genuinely good movie, you need to be able to say that it's a good movie without saying if you're a Pokemon fan.
Starting point is 01:18:54 I think from that point of view, I don't think this is a good movie. Okay. As a Pokemon fan, what do you get out of this? Is it seeing the Pokemon you love on screen? It takes you so far though right you get diplo djing a pokemon battle which is what all pokemon fans okay i mean am i allowed to do the just a movie rank you can do whatever you want okay i'll take just cool yeah all right
Starting point is 01:19:16 that's probably just a movie thank you that's probably the most accurate okay spoilers the time codes people want to skip ahead but uh yeah so he to... You said it's the plot of Zootopia. Was that you who told me that? Zootopia. I've not seen Zootopia, but everybody has tweeted me. It's just Zootopia. I'm willing to agree with them.
Starting point is 01:19:32 I don't know. Zootopia is really good. You should have watched that instead of Aladdin Lifeline. What did you think of Aladdin? I like Aladdin. Okay. Don't spoil it, Mason.
Starting point is 01:19:41 All right, okay. He did. He liked a lot. Yeah, so what did you It felt like that character should have been James Cromwell Like it felt like If you've seen iRobot Where like a scientist rolls in
Starting point is 01:19:53 And tells you what's what in the universe And things aren't what they seem James Cromwell can't have every role though You know what I mean? Leave some for the Bill Nighy's of the world So did you pick him as the as the villain when he showed up yes yes i was a little i was like i thought oh his son's gonna be the villain but then when the guy looks exactly like milo yiannopoulos yeah that's uh for anybody who doesn't know that's chris gear he's in a show
Starting point is 01:20:19 called you're the worst i don't know if you've seen that it's very good what's it about it's about a couple that get together and they're the worst oh you've talked about that it's a good show it's like five seasons it's real real good okay um but yeah they do the old switcheroo and it turns out that uh bill nye's character is the one who wants to for pokemon people to truly live together in harmony they have to be together in harmony and so he wants to combine people with Pokemon. And so the final act is him inserting his mind into a Mewtwo. The V-Mewtwo. The one from Pokemon the first movie. Same universe.
Starting point is 01:20:53 They've had in captivity. What's he been up to? Just getting ripped, working out. Yeah, nice. Get those thighs, those powerful thighs. Just thigh and upper body workout. No core exercise. I don't know what that's called.
Starting point is 01:21:05 Very weak in there. So it's Bill Nye. I just love this old, accidentally well-respected actor. He's got a certain charisma. He does. But I just love him showing up to set. And it's like, okay, so no camera work for you today bill but we are going to need some voiceover work i'm going to need you to okay in this scene you are
Starting point is 01:21:30 of course the uh very powerful 150th pokemon mewtwo um weirdly mew is 151 but mewtwo is 150 what um but uh don't worry about that for now bill what I need you to focus on is your line which is you fool a Pikachu is not powerful enough to take down a Mewtwo and while you're saying it I want you to say it as if you are flying through the air
Starting point is 01:21:58 but you are not the Mewtwo your body is lying helpless with a headset on in a luxurious uh mansion apartment did you does he have to have that on the whole for the rest of his life apparent seems that way but can't he merge himself maybe i don't know we don't know yeah that would have been the first thing you do yeah this is this is from the guy this is from uh his interview in the garden i read this this morning too. I love that.
Starting point is 01:22:28 I'm glad you're bringing this up because I was like, he phones in a lot of his performance. What do you hate Bill Nighy so much? You do hate Bill Nighy. We all got to learn things about ourselves sometimes. At least I learned something during Detective Pikachu. You try to sneak it in as well. You're like, well, you know, Bill Nighy's been in some good stuff and some not so good stuff. And then like three sentences later you're like, you know it's bill nye he's been in some good stuff but some not so good stuff and then like three sentences later
Starting point is 01:22:46 you're like so you know how bill nye is the worst hack and nobody respects it when i was eight he ran over and killed my dog okay right he ran over your winning hermit crab just as he was about to cross the line so this is this is from uh his interview it says i did a crash course in pokemon lore and bought every book available including the deeply impressive pokedex oh my goodness. Please keep going. I love the collecting. When I get around to it, I'm going to download the Pokemon Go app and go to Strasbourg. Someone told me they went Pokemon hunting in Strasbourg, which made an impression on me.
Starting point is 01:23:16 I think maybe he thinks you can only do it in Strasbourg? I don't know. That's the Pokemon capital of the world. Now he talks excitedly about a number of extremely rare Pokemon items, including a limited edition Pikachu, presented to him by the CEO of the Pokemon company. What's going on here? Now in his cellar he has multiple stones.
Starting point is 01:23:34 Yeah, he has even bought hefty Pokemon pieces home to decorate his house. His character had a palatial office with blah, blah, blah, ancient Pokemon wall hangings. I now own them. Punched out an ancient stone. They are absolutely enormous. They weigh a ton. relational offers with blah blah blah ancient pokemon wall hangings uh i now own them punched down an ancient stone uh they are absolutely enormous they weigh a ton they're in my cellar at the moment because i have to find a wall strong enough to hold them what like most fans nai also has his favorite pokemon the ancient view was probably my top top favorite because he's just
Starting point is 01:23:56 majestic and he was the very first he was elegant and powerful what's going on here is this real this is from the guardian this is an No, it's not an Onion article. Bill Nighy loves Pokemon now. He's so into it. But he didn't seem into it in the movie. Yeah, right? He was just yelling his lines. Maybe you don't know what you got till it's gone kind of situation. You're like, I love that girl and I let it go.
Starting point is 01:24:17 It's the same for Pokemon. Because I feel like he's reached that stage like your... James Cromwell. I was going to say like your Anthony Hopkins who's just in a Transformers movie all of a sudden. He's just like, hey, do you want a lot of money to just be like, I'll destroy you, Pikachu, kind of thing. He's like, yes, absolutely.
Starting point is 01:24:35 Why mess with the formula I've had for the rest of my career, being a hack? According to Levitz. According to Levitz. Whose dog I killed. We've had so many great, you know, very well thought out
Starting point is 01:24:51 villain performances, like, you know, especially recently with Endgame. Yeah. And like, I don't know, like Last Jedi, like, you know, obviously. Well, that's just,
Starting point is 01:24:59 that's a lot of people that are not fans of Last Jedi. Everyone loves Kylo Ren at the very least um but it was so funny just to stick you know between this and like this is like i would on par with venom last year this movie that like is just a mess by the end of it but i still enjoyed it yeah how stupid it was yeah right but particularly like from a villain point of view like yeah like his character is just such a like it feels like such a 90s movie villain.
Starting point is 01:25:26 Yeah. Like the end of Street Fighter. Yeah, or like Three Ninjas. Yeah. It felt to me, it felt at this point, especially towards the end, it felt like when the ditto is involved and whatever, it felt like Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
Starting point is 01:25:37 Did you gasp? Yeah, of course I gasped. I was like, oh, just like Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Because I remember at the end of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, there's Judge Doom and he turns out. That's the best. Yeah. It felt like this. I'm like, Framed Roger Rabbit. Because remember at the end of You, Framed Roger Rabbit, there's Judge Doom. Yeah, he gets rolled over. And he turns out. That's the best. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:47 It felt like this. I'm like, ooh, weird eyes. Weird eyes and transformations. Ooh, I'm on board. But they didn't really make anything of it. Like it transformed a couple of times and it was kicked off a roof or whatever. I don't even remember what happened to it.
Starting point is 01:25:57 That'll get you. The Milo Yiannopoulos knocks it off a roof. Okay, cool. Excellent. Good on him. He comes back. He's doing good. Oh, and then Justice Smith gases it using the same gas and then it just dies
Starting point is 01:26:10 okay like the gas that makes yeah the gas that enrages the pokemon so they can be merged with humans yeah just kills it instead okay good yeah good cool right what about the big twist of the movie that detective pikachu actually Justice Smith's dad, Ryan Reynolds? Yeah, the whole time. I did like points for the scene with Justice Smith and Pikachu when he's talking about his dad and he's crying. Yeah, there were really nice moments between them. Yeah, I totally agree. That's a great scene, yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:37 Probably didn't seem like he did that over the phone. Much better scene than when real life Ryan Reynolds hangs out with his son at the end of the movie. And they're like, hmm, what should we do to make Ryan Reynolds look like a dad? Glasses. Skimming glasses. A weird puby beard. Okay, sure. And then, well, should we put him in dad jeans?
Starting point is 01:26:54 No, no, just put him in like the tightest jeans imaginable. Cool guy jeans, yeah. I've never thought about him as a dad for a second. It's so bizarre. Even though he is a dad. Yeah. Look, I didn't see that twist coming, but I did... Like, over the course of the movie,
Starting point is 01:27:08 you do see flashbacks and holograms of the dad. Yeah. And he looks like this... He looks little. I kept seeing him and picturing Phil Collins, like modern-day Phil Collins, just sort of like... Phil Collins, the... The singer.
Starting point is 01:27:21 Just kind of like, you know, like just a dad, like an old dad kind of like... Yeah. You know, just hunched over and kind of bald and kind of like, you know, like just an old dad kind of like, you know, just hunched over and kind of bald and kind of like. But then all of a sudden, boom, Ryan Reynolds. It probably wasn't the same actor. They Spider-Man Homecoming'd us. We were like, oh, mixed race couples aren't a thing in Hollywood yet. And then, oh, they were.
Starting point is 01:27:38 They got us. But it wasn't because of like that that got me. I was just like, I just can't imagine Ryan Reynolds as a father. Yes, same. And so I was like, oh. He is a father. Yeah, he is. Yeah, sure, I know.
Starting point is 01:27:52 He's not a good father though, Mason. No, by all accounts. He's on his Instagram, yeah. Why, what does he do? No doubt, he just jokes about his kids, how he hates them or whatever. Oh, classic. Good stuff. That'll be good until the divorce,
Starting point is 01:28:03 at which point it'll be used as evidence. I thought, yeah, it was going to be like his father as his Pikachu, but I thought that only when he is Pikachu does he have Ryan Reynolds' voice. I thought it was just going to be some actor. Why didn't he recognise his father's voice? His dad's voice, yeah. I guess he's a dart.
Starting point is 01:28:22 Hold on a minute. Deadpool? Wait a minute. on a minute Deadpool? Wait a minute Hal Jordan Guy from Blade 3 Whose name I can't remember One of the two guys A girl and a pizza place
Starting point is 01:28:35 Is that you? Is it Bert is it I want to say? Yeah that was strange And it also leaves the universe in a weird place The guy from Waiting When he was a waiter Is that you? Definitely maybe What are you doing here? Strange, and it also leaves the universe in a weird place. The guy from Waiting? When he was a waiter? Is that you?
Starting point is 01:28:47 Definitely maybe. What are you doing here? So going forward, there is no Detective Pikachu anymore because he's been separated. And also, did they have to get his son back so he could separate them? Did he need the DNA of the son to rebuild the dad or something? Yeah. My brain had checked out by that point.
Starting point is 01:29:04 That's what Mwtwo said mewtwo wanted mewtwo wanted pikachu dad to bring bring the kid back and that would allow him that's what the movie should be called no he gives it away you can't call the pikachu dad you idiot yeah it'll be in like in like korea or something it'll be called pikachu or something. It'll be called Pikachu Dad. Sorry, yes. Well, I don't know. Then he needed to use his magic for some... That's why he needed to come back. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 01:29:33 I don't know why, though. Because he was Pikachu Dad. That's not how you put on a tie. Hobbs and Shaw, apparently, in Japan, is called Super Combo. Oh, that's the that's great it's a great title it's terrific
Starting point is 01:29:47 but yeah so he's not Pikachu Dad anymore going forward but they could just like what's gonna if they do a sequel it'll just be they need his
Starting point is 01:29:56 detective skills but also he needs to be able to sneak into a small area like a small like a box like a box or an air vent or something like that so they'll use the magic
Starting point is 01:30:03 or the whatever to combine them again. Or maybe Pikachu Dad again. No, I reckon the next one will be someone else gets the technology, takes over Mewtwo, and accidentally combines Justice Smith and Pikachu, and it's Ryan Reynolds teaming up with Pikachu. Oh, that makes so much sense. Okay, that's cool.
Starting point is 01:30:21 All right. Yeah. Anyone could be the voice of Pikachu Dad. That's a good point. We could all be the voice of Pikachu Dad. That's a good point. We could all be the voice of Pikachu. Collectively. Collectively. I'd even go on set.
Starting point is 01:30:29 I don't mind. See, if they went with Pikachu Dad, they could call the sequel Pikachu Son. That's true. That makes a lot of sense. Yeah. But I also feel like that this movie leaves it open for a whole world of Pokemon that they're going to explore.
Starting point is 01:30:41 Like, I don't think they're... What are you being paid by the Pokemon company? No, I'm being... You've got to deal with the Pokemon company. I'm currently being crippled financially. It's like you've got... They've sent you a message under the table. They're like, all right, we'll give you a video back.
Starting point is 01:30:55 If you're like, no, I just think there's a whole world of Pokemon out there. But there is. I mean, there's video games, certainly. There's a new one coming out. There's a whole just... As Lemon said, one of the most interesting parts of this movie is the the universe they build the best thing about it is the world yeah that this that this movie set in and like yeah i mean i think the problem is though like people know this as the world of detective pikachu yeah like cinema
Starting point is 01:31:18 goers i guess i mean not like the world of pokemon exactly yeah but they established like there's battles and didn't you know i guess they were well, there's no battles in the city, but then we can go out into the wilderness. Yeah, there's all sorts of small towns and things where people can be insurance men. And there's the three-mile limit in the ocean where no rules apply after that. Is that the same in this universe, though?
Starting point is 01:31:38 Do you know that? I don't know that for sure. There we go. That's what I thought. What was the weirdest thing for you? Because there's a few like... Besides Mr. Mind being set on fire. You'll check in with him again.
Starting point is 01:31:51 Well, yeah. They never cut back to him. That was a good scene. That was funny. They did too much of it in the trailer though. But then they set him alight. Then they did set him alight. There's nowhere to go there, yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:02 Is he just... Because there was no post-credits. I would have hoped for a post credit scene where he's just like dragging himself out of the warehouse you know
Starting point is 01:32:10 you hung around for the post credits no I didn't I did I was like surely there's going to be something that wasn't you went to the
Starting point is 01:32:17 Sydney screening or whatever with the big Pokemon as well we met the same big Pokemon yeah I think we actually met the same one because that got shipped
Starting point is 01:32:24 I asked them they shipped it from Japan oh wow or something yeah did you get the um the cat at captain marvel premiere i didn't go to that we didn't go to that no but i think it was there yeah i saw your photos yeah yeah yeah it was a cat what do you think of the cat yeah loved it was beautiful beautiful cat they'd have to be wouldn't it they had to get a real docile drugged up. No, he was very docile. Yeah. So for me, like the weirdest scene, it's a tie between like the bizarre, enormous tortoise. Oh, yeah. When they're like jumping the tortoise,
Starting point is 01:32:53 tortoise Pokemon enclosure. Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What the fuck those ones are called. And then they're just suddenly on the back of these enormous ones. So they experiment with the size. There were a lot of, not a lot,
Starting point is 01:33:02 there were a couple of action sequences that didn't really have any payoff beyond. That one especially. We've got to just move you somewhere else and somebody has to be injured or like. And they kept building up the like psychic blast of Psyduck and then it didn't really stop the Greninjas from getting him. The scene as well, like when he first,
Starting point is 01:33:21 when, and I guess it's supposed to establish that the serum is dangerous, but when Justice first arrives and i guess it's supposed to establish that the serum is dangerous but when he when justice first arrives at his dad's office and then the little pokemon attack him for a bit and then he runs away and then he his pants fall off and then then they just fight again and he just goes back up to the office like i feel that was there's a better way to do that than just like what is it then come on mason his pants fall all the way off because he's full dick. Yeah, that is better.
Starting point is 01:33:47 Yeah, see, that's what I'm saying. That's a really good point. For me, the weirdest scene easily though is the Diplo DJing the battle scene with Charizard. As a DJ yourself. I mean, that's what all DJs hope to achieve at some point in life is a Pokemon movie cameo.
Starting point is 01:34:03 Yeah. That's his Secret of the Ooze Vanilla Ice moment. Yeah. He had talking, he had like multiple lines in the movie. Like he's like, okay, it's Pikachu versus Charizard. It's just so weird. I know him quite well. And so it's a very funny scene.
Starting point is 01:34:20 Did you know he was in it? Yeah, I knew he was going to be in it. I just thought he was going to be DJing in the background because he's in 22 Jump Street. Oh, yeah. He's been in it? Yeah, I knew he was going to be in it. I just thought he was going to be DJing in the background because he's in 22 Jump Street. Oh, yeah. He's been in a few movies, but this was like, it was just so funny seeing him in a kid's movie with Pokemon. Is he a nice man?
Starting point is 01:34:35 Yeah, yeah. He and I actually started a charity together. Did you really? Is it called Heaps Decent? Oh, yeah. No, I do know that. That's awesome. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:42 You can check it out. We used to do, it still exists. I'm just a board. Yeah. You can check it out. We used to do... It still exists. I'm just a board member now. Okay. But it's like we used to do... He helped set up this charity where we go around Australia doing music workshops in juvenile detention centres and community centres in rural Australia.
Starting point is 01:34:56 That's awesome. I'll link that below then if people want to check it out. Yeah, he should have given Heap Season a shout out in the Pokemon movie. It would have been great. Absolutely. He should have. What a selfish prick.
Starting point is 01:35:03 I can't believe he's a friend of yours. Yeah. I can. Before we move on move on though to another thing uh do you want to spruik some things I mentioned them up top the things that you are on and like yeah well you've got hey fam obviously which is yeah if you if you ever listen to weekly planet and think man I love what James and Mesa do I'd love to hear them do it worse. But earlier. And with more swears. Yeah, I've been pretty well behaved this episode so far.
Starting point is 01:35:32 I needed to make a formal apology. The last time I was on, when you had to do a warning for me dropping the C-bomb, I felt so bad. No, no. Look, honestly, it's fine. You can say literally whatever you want. I just know it's subcultures. Oh, of course. No, no. It's fine.
Starting point is 01:35:49 I just wanted to give people there's this weird phase in my life where i would be like cool i'm gonna go on this podcast better have a couple bottles of wine and then almost always led to me doing a version of batman that drops the c-bomb repeatedly um but uh so sorry about that it's to you and your listeners this fine family show Mason do you accept the apology because I'm fine with it but obviously yeah
Starting point is 01:36:09 you're alright thank god cool hey fam I've heard described by people in the planet broadcasting group as weekly planet
Starting point is 01:36:17 but fucked and or weekly planet no the mean version of the weekly planet yeah that's not inaccurate it's very funny as well like both of you work really well together and you're often no the main version of the yeah that's not inaccurate it's very funny as well like the both both of you work really well together and you're often in the sports bar
Starting point is 01:36:29 but sometimes you're in a different we've actually we've as of this year no more sports yeah we used to record at this awful sports bar in sydney and they would have the cricket on really loud and we would just have to yell over like classic rock while we recorded great atmosphere you never got hit for copyright or anything on that no i guess you wouldn't yeah um what by by the board of cricket okay i meant the songs more but yeah our podcasts are pretty different for example i'm i'm a i'm a dad who works for himself and um my co-host works for the government and doesn't have kids couldn't get any more different. But also you've got your comic book podcast, of course,
Starting point is 01:37:08 which is now monthly. Yeah. Serious Issues is also on Planet Royal casting. With Siobhan. With Siobhan. We're recording an episode of that tomorrow. It's good. Now we do monthly,
Starting point is 01:37:18 there's less pressure to just read books because I feel like I have to. Yeah. You enjoy them more. Talking about books we love. Yeah. Are you reading the new Watchmen at the moment? Where are you to on that are you caught up uh what's it called doomsday clock yeah i'm reading it out of i started that when i read everything yeah and it's actually
Starting point is 01:37:32 it's still enjoyable yeah i don't know what the point of it is yet but but how many issues are there to go it's 12 all up so yeah three but like i think this is going to be like a comic book event that goes for like four or five years yeah I feel like I'm a few issues behind that, but I feel like if the point hasn't been established by issue 9 of 12... Well, only because I feel like all the main DC stuff has been very slow. Since Rebirth happened, it was like,
Starting point is 01:37:56 oh my God, that was such a great issue, the Rebirth thing that Geoff Johns did, where Dr Manhattan's at the end of it and Batman finds the Watchmen card. And nothing from that issue has paid off yet. is that the one where he's beaten up by the evil flash is that the one you're talking about that happens like after that okay right okay i know he's back i don't know button starts with b and i like words that start with c hey did you talk about the Far From Home trailer earlier?
Starting point is 01:38:26 Yeah, we can go back to it. I have a really far out theory that is definitely not it. But you know when you go for the most out there thing and imagine if I get this right? Yeah. So I reckon... Bearing in mind, there's a rule on this show. If you put this theory out and it's not true,
Starting point is 01:38:49 James has to do a shot of poop. Wait a minute. Is that true make no i don't make this a scoop this is a predict all right no that's fine yeah if you get a prediction wrong you get the hawkeye haircut that's the right okay yeah um so i reckon that mysterio you know he's like you know did you talk about how like you know the the multiverse exists? Yes. But he could be bullshitting. I reckon he's revealed that, yeah, he's been bullshitting. But then, actually, he's been programmed to be a liar because Mysterio is a Doom bot. And then this is how we get Dr. Doom. That would be incredible.
Starting point is 01:39:21 As I said this out loud, I was like, this is not going to happen. You've practiced in front of a mirror a few times before you got here. And you're like, no, this seems good. They've got LMDs, so it's not that far from that. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 01:39:33 Interesting. Does that mean there's a real Mysterio? Well, there is no Mysterio. I don't know. Because there's also, isn't there supposed to be like chameleon in this? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:39:40 It's your dumb theory. It's not my dumb. What, what, what, what? I don't care, Rio. Do you think there is though something to the maybe there is no Mysterio in this at all? That there's somebody behind him? Yeah. How good would it be if it was Doctor Doom?
Starting point is 01:39:53 Maybe it's the bloody Mandarin again. He's such a great actor this time. That's how it comes. We're working out like oh, it's the Mandarin again. But this time it's Bill Nye, other British character actor. Yeah, Mewtwo is behind Mysterio. I love it.
Starting point is 01:40:14 All right, anything else? Or should we move it along to the next segment of the show? Yeah, a brand new one that you invented just for me being here. Definitely. Thanks for coming along, Levins. We really appreciate it. There'll be a video up this week on the channel that you were also in.
Starting point is 01:40:27 Oh, I can't wait to record that. It's going to be fun. I also can't wait to find out what it's going to be. Me too. I haven't really decided yet, but it's going to be great. Mewtwo. Hashtag Mewtwo.
Starting point is 01:40:37 Just all of us doing our best Bill Nye and Detective Pikachu impersonation. Fantastic. Yeah, so thanks everybody for listening. It's not the end of the show, but thank you. Levins. What am I reading?
Starting point is 01:40:49 Oh yeah, absolutely. What are you reading? I just finished all of one punch man on the manga. You've done the whole thing on the, on the plane over here. What'd you think? It's really,
Starting point is 01:40:57 really good. I know you've watched it. Yeah. I've only watched a couple episodes in the first season, but I, if you, the Shonen jump app, which is where all these shows, like your Dragon Balls, One Piece, like Naruto,
Starting point is 01:41:10 and then more recent stuff like One Punch Man, they all start there as manga, weekly manga. They come out and then they turn them into shows. And it's all in the app. Yeah, it's like $2.99 Australian or $2 American a month just to have their entire back catalogue. Do they read backwards? Yes.
Starting point is 01:41:26 Oh, man. You get used to it. I don't want to. I'll read it in front of a mirror. That'll work. And you also read all of One Piece as well. Yeah, like 940 chapters of One Piece. Wow.
Starting point is 01:41:37 I highly recommend doing that. What's it about? It's about a pirate who wants to be the king of the pirates. What is the One Piece he's referring to? It is the greatest treasure of all. Oh. Yeah. Wow.
Starting point is 01:41:49 Is it meant to? Well, to be king of the pirates means that you will be the freest person that ever lived. But you're also in charge, aren't you? You've got responsibility. There's a lot of flaws in Luffy's idealism. All right, then. It's a fun book, though. It's good, though?
Starting point is 01:42:04 Yeah. Would you like to see it? The One i love that i've been watching i've seen a few episodes of the new season which i quite like but like because it was it started out as like a japanese web comic and then then got turned into a manga and um and then an anime but um the first like it's very it feels very much like a strip comic when you first start reading it all right and so i got a garfield yeah exactly yeah like one punch man hates mondays eats lasagna i bet he does um but uh the you know It feels very much like a strip comic when you first start reading it. Oh, right. Like Garfield. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, like One Punch Man hates Mondays, eats lasagna. I bet he does.
Starting point is 01:42:30 But, you know, the main gist of it is that he's a very, very strong hero who can kill any enemy with one punch. Fantastic. And he's bored. Yes. And he wants a challenge. But it's kind of like it's very joke of the week, you know, each chapter.
Starting point is 01:42:45 But then like in the middle like actually let's just make this a proper like battle manga okay and so it gets quite gripping towards
Starting point is 01:42:50 and I'm up to date and it's gonna come out every week now how far is the seasons behind the manga they're about like it's about the first third
Starting point is 01:42:58 of what's come out of the manga okay sure alright cool excellent alright thanks again Levens thank you
Starting point is 01:43:02 and we'll see you at a different see you next time yeah yeah yeah yeah I love your different thing. See you next time. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah! I love your catchphrase. See you next time.
Starting point is 01:43:10 I'm doing a thing. Mason, it's in the What We're Reading segment. We're in it. Get out of here, Levens. Yeah, Levens. Get out of here, if indeed you were here at all. This was all recorded on the one day and Levens came and went, didn't he? Yep.
Starting point is 01:43:32 Yeah. What are you reading and what are you going to read? Well, I watched Dead to Me on Netflix, which is the Christina Rappel-Gate. I was there too. Linda Cardellini. I'm like, no, I saw every episode of that. What did you think of it? It was good.
Starting point is 01:43:46 It's pretty good, right? Yeah. It's way grimmer than the trailer. Yes. You know when it auto plays the trailer and you're like, oh, it's a couple of quirky people and they've had a bit of tragedy, but they're having a bit of fun. It's grim. Dark.
Starting point is 01:43:56 It's grim and dark. Like the leads. Yep. I like the cast in general. Summer of Linda Cardellini. It really is. She's doing all sorts of stuff. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:44:03 This. A little bit of end game. End game. thing a third thing yes yes it's been an endless summer you know but it's 10 episodes yeah and like all things on netflix it'll get another series and then they'll cancel it yeah i read somewhere recently that apparently season the way they produce episodes on net, three seasons is financially viable, but more than that isn't. Why is that? Because the cast gets expensive? Yeah, I think it might be that, yeah. Okay, fair enough.
Starting point is 01:44:31 So a lot of stuff gets cancelled at three. Okay, fair enough. And we're currently at that point with a lot of stuff. Santa Clarita Diet. Santa Clarita Diet. Yeah. Okay, very good. No, I enjoyed that.
Starting point is 01:44:43 It's got James Marsden as an unlikable dude. Yeah, he's very unlikable. Very, very good. No, I enjoyed that. It's got James Marston as an unlikable dude. Yeah, he's very unlikable. Very fun, yeah. But he looks great. How does he not age? How is he younger than me now? What happened to that? Because I remember when I first saw him, I was at school.
Starting point is 01:44:56 But now it looks like he's at school. He's at school. And I'm his dad. And you're the fool. And you're his dad. Exactly. I'm picking him up from school for some reason. That's right.
Starting point is 01:45:04 You're berating him for his poor grades. But he is smart. He just doesn't apply himself, you know? That's his problem, Mason. Yes, exactly. That's his exact problem. What are we going to read, though? Well, okay.
Starting point is 01:45:15 Something else is coming out. There's something I've been reading that's two issues in. It's called Spider-Man Life Story. It's by Chip Zdarsky. I like that, Chip Zdarsky. Yeah, but that's by Mark Bagley. It's basically Spider-Man, but if it started in the 60s and then it just uh and then it jumps in every decade so it starts like vietnam he's aging normally yeah so it's vietnam era like he's
Starting point is 01:45:35 like should i sign up because you know this is captain america's thing gonna do it and iron man's there or whatever uh-huh and then and it's the 70s and then it's like well 10 years on from that and what happened and what's captain america doing now and what am i doing now okay now it's the 70s, and then it's like, well, 10 years on from that, and what happened, and what's Captain America doing now, and what am I doing now? Right, okay. Now it's the 70s, and there's different things happening. Oh, different things, you say. I wasn't there.
Starting point is 01:45:51 I don't know what happened in the 70s. Right. And I don't have a phone to check, but so I can call my dad and ask him. That's what I'm saying. Disco-themed playing cards. That's right, yeah. But, yeah, it's really good. Okay.
Starting point is 01:46:04 And I highly recommend it. Mark Bagley is kind of the classic Spider-Man artist. Did he do Spider-Man Blue and those ones? I don't know, but he was the amazing Spider-Man artist for, you know, late 90s, early 2000s. They even get the Harry Osborn, normal Osborn hair from the 60s. Okay, good, great. There's a lot of sweet callbacks.
Starting point is 01:46:20 But, no, I definitely recommend that. Yeah. And Chip Zdarsky is who he is and writes amazing things so do you remember did you ever read alias the the comic with the jessica jones i read like the first two volumes okay right so if you remember the the the present day stuff was kind of more of photorealistic style and then we went back in time it was kind of that kind of that's right prototypical archetype archetypal kind of comic book art that That's Mark Bagley. Oh, okay. He's kind of the classic, like,
Starting point is 01:46:46 if you want a straight down the line Spider-Man. I don't. Oh, well then. Why are you reading like this, man? Yeah, it's very good. You really not doing anything else? I don't know. What's coming out this week?
Starting point is 01:46:58 Well, I think John Wick. So I think next week is John Wick and maybe Game of Thrones because what I was thinking of doing, maybe recording the bulk of the episode, like we sometimes do. Yes. And then we'll watch Game of Thrones together. We might do it.
Starting point is 01:47:11 What, eight episodes? No, no. You've got to watch the rest. Come to my house, we'll watch it. I'll watch the last episode. And then we'll slot it in. Or we'll just do it the week after. Oh, yeah, cool.
Starting point is 01:47:18 Nice. All right. John Wick 3 is actually releasing at the same time as the rest of the world in Australia. Unlike the last two. Which were months behind or something. Maybe like four months minimum. Yeah, right. It's because people here don't just steal everything off the internet.
Starting point is 01:47:34 Yeah. They do is what I'm saying. They really do. We do. We do. I'm proud to admit it. I don't want... Look, it's way...
Starting point is 01:47:39 We're a nation of convicts. That's true. Well, it's not... I don't want to steal anything. But when something's unavailable, you kind of back what you're going to do. Sometimes I want a Ferrari, but they're just not available. And I would download a car if I could.
Starting point is 01:47:52 Absolutely. Are you kidding me? A free car? A free car? Yes. Especially when you download the car, the car's still there. We both have a car. We've both got a car.
Starting point is 01:48:01 Yeah. Nobody loses out. And I'm not going to buy a Ferrari, am I? No, exactly. But I'll download one. Yes. For a dick. Yeah. All you have to do is touch a car. We've got a car. Yeah, nobody loses out. And I'm not going to buy a Ferrari, am I? No, exactly. But I'll download one. Yes. It's ridiculous. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:48:08 All you have to do is touch the car. You've got your own car. That's what I love about it. Yeah. Yeah. Anything else that you're reading? No, I think that's about it, really. You're on any comics lately?
Starting point is 01:48:16 No. You wouldn't, nerd. No. When are they going to release a colour Kindle? Not a tablet. Yeah, right, right. But an actual Kindle that the battery lasts forever and it's only for reading. I guess there's no call for it, but I would love that just for comics. Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 01:48:30 Yeah. And it'd also be great for kids' books. The two things that are in my life that I read, the only two things. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. That would be good. I mean, there's- Apparently, I know the technology is kind of behind on that and it's more difficult. But still, if anybody has some ideas for that, because my iPad, the one that I have, which I normally would use for... I try to read paper copies now, but anytime I get comics, I'll read them on the iPad. But my iPad now is so old that some just websites don't load anymore. The browser's so old. So I'd be interested to know if anybody out there
Starting point is 01:49:05 has a good recommendation for like a tablet, not an iPad, but like not a crazy expensive thing, like a kind of like an 11-inch, 10-inch, 11-inch thing that is good for comic books. Because a lot of Android stuff doesn't have, there's no comiXology app for Android, I don't think. You can buy comics on your black and white Kindle. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 01:49:24 And that's great if I'm reading The Walking Dead. Yeah, for sure. Which is a black and white comic, but I don't want to watch... Or an old-timey comic from the olden days. Exactly. Yeah. Some old newspaper strips, some old Beatle Bailey strips. If I want to look at a playing card from 1885.
Starting point is 01:49:35 If you want to read some bloody footrot flats from 1988. Maybe I do, Mason. Maybe you do, yeah. They had an animated movie. I remember. Slice of Heaven. Rocket Man. Wait.
Starting point is 01:49:45 Robot Man. Robot Man. And he was Heaven. Rocket Man. Wait. Robot Man. Robot Man. And he was replaced with an alien. Yeah. Remember for a bit? Yeah, I remember. Robot Man. Yeah, Robot Man was good.
Starting point is 01:49:53 Anyway, if anybody has any recommendations, that'd be good. But he hates Mondays. No, I get it. You're thinking of Garfield. No, Mason. You're thinking of Garfield. All right. If anybody has any recommendations, that'd be great.
Starting point is 01:50:02 Some sort of tablet that's good and handy. And if I accidentally snap it in half, I don't mind so much. And the battery lasts forever. Battery lasts for a while, yeah. Something with a good... Something I only use Comixology on. No weird glare on it. No weird glare on it.
Starting point is 01:50:14 Nothing I have to buy from China. Yeah. And then jailbreak myself. Fair enough. Let's do letters. Let's do letters. I'll do a letters theme Wait no
Starting point is 01:50:26 That's the wrong one I've clicked the wrong one Mason you fool I know What else is going on? Mason I'm not going to bail you out on this Okay fine
Starting point is 01:50:33 This is your job You're going to let me Stew on my own juices Is that what you're doing? Wow Alright let's do some letters then The classic one was Letters
Starting point is 01:50:41 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. Nice. Good themes all around. Yes, I agree. If you want to reach the show, hashtag weeklyplanetpod on Twitter.
Starting point is 01:51:00 It doesn't have to be about an endgame theory. It can be anything. You can still send them. Don't get me wrong. We appreciate everything. Or you can send a Twitter at either of us, a hashtag at Weekly Planet Pod, and we'll get right on that. That's right.
Starting point is 01:51:15 Mason, you're delving into the Weekly Planet Pod at gmail.com. Here's one. This one says hot scoop. Okay. And the sender. Often these aren't hot scoops, I just want to point out. They're just made up things. Often it's hot scoop and then a thing that somebody goes,
Starting point is 01:51:27 well, I think the Mysterio's this. Well, look, here's the thing. I will leave you, because I'm sceptical. Okay. I will leave you to determine whether this is true or not. Why is it up to me? Okay, we can discuss it. Let's discuss it like men.
Starting point is 01:51:42 I was going to say Mason, yeah. Let's discuss it like men. So this is from someone who doesn't want his name revealed okay uh okay uh he lives in la he's a bartender surrounded by writers who drink and talk he's heard something from one who interviewed for the upcoming disney wandavision show that might be plausible has this sound okay uh the show uh hang on okay apparently the show is based on Wanda's reality-altering abilities, and each episode will be based on a sitcom in a different decade. 50s, 60s, 70s, and so on.
Starting point is 01:52:12 So maybe it's an exploration of what Wanda could have had had Vision not died. Ah, okay. What do you reckon about that? I think that's really interesting. Yeah. Well, they did say that 50s thing. Yeah, right, right.
Starting point is 01:52:23 Like a 1950s kind of aesthetic yeah so that's so that's what that's what he's heard it's maybe an american styles 50s domestic sitcom then that's the first episode yeah and then they move it up so like in the 80s it's family tie style or whatever no i want to see bloody al bundy you want to see married with children oh yeah that would make more sense actually yeah i want to see step by Step in the 90s. I want to see Malcolm in the Middle. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Oh, they have to do Big Bang.
Starting point is 01:52:51 They have to do Young Sheldon, don't they? I've never seen it. Maybe it's amazing. All right. Okay. So is she altering reality or is she going between dimensions? We don't really know. No.
Starting point is 01:53:04 Well, it says reality altering reality or is she going between dimensions or we're not we don't really know no it's well it says one it says reality altering abilities uh each episode will be based on a sitcom in a different decade so maybe it's an exploration of what wanda could have had i want to see a ricky ricardo style yeah right for betty yeah yeah okay a wonder yeah that's that's interesting and different i like quite like that, yeah. I mean, we'll find out whether this guy's a liar or not in time. Well, he said his stage name is Zardoz McAllister, but we've got his real name here, so if it doesn't turn out to be true... We're doxing you.
Starting point is 01:53:37 Exactly. We're going to track you down. Definitely, yeah. Yeah. Also, we're not going to dox anybody. Doxing's not cool. Don't tell anybody where anybody lives, specifically me, because if you come to my house,
Starting point is 01:53:48 I'm going to hit you in the head with a plank of wood. Just straight up. Straight up with a plank of wood. Wow, all right. Wow. That's reasonable, right? Yeah, I think so. Once they're on your property,
Starting point is 01:53:58 you can hit somebody with as many planks of wood as you want. And I have a lot. You can set up your whole house Home Alone style. Yes. I quite like that, and I like that it's not like anything we've seen. And I guess it's Legion-esque, like it's a little bit off-kilter.
Starting point is 01:54:13 Yeah, well, exactly. Yeah, I mean, that's a nice way to put it. And again, if we're getting a whole bunch of these series at a time, and they all seem to be like, they're travelling the world, and maybe they'll find some trouble, and maybe they'll realize their true purpose in life or whatever maybe they'll be captain america maybe they won't this would be a nice change of pace i think i'm going to break it up you know let's all have fun with the things that we watch yes
Starting point is 01:54:37 let's do that it's a revelation i hope everybody's stuck around long enough to learn that to learn that lesson uh hashtag weeklyag Weekly Planet Pod. This is from IamJordanZoned. Anything you loved as a kid but you don't want to revisit because it'll suck? I try not to go back to any original Transformers episodes. Yeah. Because they're not good. We talked about that recently in that Pokemon thing.
Starting point is 01:54:59 Yeah, we did. The audio is still available, though. Oh, yeah, for sure. I also cut out the bit about the Burger King toys that kill children. Oh, right, yes. Because it's a really tragic thing, and I was kind of like, I don't want anybody to perceive this as, ha-ha, this killed some kids, because it was awful.
Starting point is 01:55:17 Anyway, now I'm bringing them up here. Will I cut this out? We'll find out, won't we? We certainly will. Well, you won't. I will never find out, no. I'm kind of reluctant to go back to the first Ninja Turtles because I always talk about how I really love it.
Starting point is 01:55:28 I saw it again like 10 years ago. Yeah. It's good, right? I mean, look, the production value was really high at the time. They were technically very well put together and it's based on the original Mirage comic storyline, which was cool. Which they weren't really doing then either.
Starting point is 01:55:45 No, they were doing their own versions. They were doing the cartoon. They were doing the Archie comics. I just meant even adaptations of anything. Oh, yeah, right. They were doing their own versions. That's true, yeah. They're generally not as good.
Starting point is 01:55:54 Let's re-watch it. Okay. Let's find my VHS copy. We can do a commentary. My green VHS. You know, I can rent it online or whatever. No, let's find a television and a VCR. And I want all the ads
Starting point is 01:56:05 from the day there yeah that's exactly yeah okay yeah yeah no I would love to re-watch that actually
Starting point is 01:56:11 let's do it anything else that you don't really want to visit can't even remember what I liked as a kid man I know a lot of that stuff is no good
Starting point is 01:56:21 like Dino Riders yeah right Thundercats Mask Mask Voltron's bad Toxic Crusaders is probably terrible, the original Ninja Turtles cartoon, except for the opening episodes, they were quite dark. I'd like to re-watch Earthworm Jim, the cartoon series. Oh, yeah. I think that's getting a remake, the video game. It is.
Starting point is 01:56:36 They're doing a third one or whatever they're up to. By all the people that, I guess they got the rights back or or whatever but I think I beat the first two of those maybe on an emulator yeah right in like 2002 when I had time those were good creative games they were fun
Starting point is 01:56:51 I agree you hit that you whipped that cow you jumped the cow and then later yep at the end I won't spoil it
Starting point is 01:56:57 if you want to go back and play Earthworm Jim they did do a 3D Earthworm Jim do you remember at one point I do not yeah is he the size of an earthworm or the size of a man he or the size of a man?
Starting point is 01:57:06 He's the size of a man I believe. How does that work? Radiation. So he had that before he found the suit? Like he got radiation? No, there was radiation in the suit. The earthworm crawled into the suit because it fell to earth and then the earthworm went into the
Starting point is 01:57:21 suit and then the radiation turned him into earthworm Jim. There is that level as well where you don't have the suit and you're just the earthworm yes that's good it's a good game yes uh anything else on things that you don't want to revisit oh uh i think dark angel holds up no but it didn't hold up at the time do you think it does or doesn't mason it doesn't do you think everyone should get a tattoo of a barcode yeah because yeah because they're slaves this is where all slaves to society, aren't we? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:57:47 What about this? This is from Hellboy News. Ooh. This is going to be a hot update. Actually, it might be. Ooh. Yeah, this actually makes sense. What do you guys think about the Dark Horse slash Netflix deal?
Starting point is 01:57:59 What do you want to see adapted as a TV series or film? It's interesting that Dark Horse stuff is going to Netflix. You saw that? I didn't, but that's interesting. Apparently they're already preparing to release TV shows for Sin City, Briggs Land, Mysticons, and also a handful of comic based movies, including a Time Cop reboot.
Starting point is 01:58:19 Oh yeah, that's right. Cause Dark Time Cop was on, was the Dark Horse comic for a while. Yeah. For some reason. Yeah, okay. Well, Hellboy's out. Yeah, too expensive. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:58:31 You could do a Hellboy spin-off, like set in that universe. Oh, you BPRD, yeah. But would anybody take a risk on that now? Yeah, probably not. Yeah. Where is Black Hammer going? Because that's Dark Horse, right? That's a very good question.
Starting point is 01:58:44 Does Jeff Lemire have his own? I'd like to see him own that. Yeah. He might. I don't know. Because I believe that has... Hasn't he already had some sort of development deal? Oh, with Black Hammer?
Starting point is 01:58:58 Yeah, you're right. He might actually... Yeah. Yeah, you might be right. Okay. Good question. I'm trying... That's the thing, because whenever I think of Dark Horse now... I mean, they did Aliens as well. Yeah, you might be right. Good question.
Starting point is 01:59:08 That's the thing, because whenever I think of Dark Horse now... I mean, they did Aliens as well. Well, yeah, they did all the Alien vs. Predator stuff. That's what I think of. Disney had that. When I think of Dark Horse, I think of that, and I also think of Comics Greatest World, which was the superhero thing they did in the 90s that had barbed wire in it.
Starting point is 01:59:22 Oh, yeah. So I'm trying to think of like modern era Dark Horse stuff. Let's have a bloody look. So I'd imagine the alien stuff the same way that Star Wars was taken from Dark Horse. Aliens will also probably be taken from Dark Horse. Yeah, right, right, right. I'd imagine. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:59:38 Let's see what we got. Oh, also Googsland. Give it a bit of a Googs. Googsland. Titles. The Goon would be good. Oh, yeah. They've been talking about The Goon for years.
Starting point is 01:59:48 They have been talking about The Goon for years, yeah. Do you know Black Bat? No. I'm not familiar with it. That looks like a real one. Umbrella Academy is probably not very famous. Sherlock Frankenstein, which again ties into... Black Hammer.
Starting point is 01:59:59 Black Hammer, yeah. A lot of Star Wars stuff. Conan. They're still doing Conan. And they're still talking about, I mean, the comic, but also they're talking about that movie still. Yeah, right. I think they should do it.
Starting point is 02:00:12 And they are, I guess. Scotland Yard? No idea what that is. Grendel? Grendel. I haven't thought about Grendel for years. Yes, absolutely Grendel. It's Spawn.
Starting point is 02:00:21 It looks like he's Spawn, but he's got a fishbowl thing. Okay, so Grendel is basically, he's like an assassin. He's like an assassin? He is an assassin. Just say he's an assassin. He's most like an assassin that you could possibly be. Grendel's a good one, actually. He's fought Batman on a number of occasions.
Starting point is 02:00:35 Yeah, who cares? So here's the two-parter with Grendel. Okay. Is that there's the modern-day Grendel who's an assassin. He's not like an assassin, but in the way he's 100% like an assassin because he is one. He's like a gentleman assassin. Yes, yes, yes.
Starting point is 02:00:52 And he had bloody action and violence and romance, but in the future, in the same universe, there's like a dystopian future where his image has been, like it's been used by a religion and then it's this weird like cult of like super soldiers and there's time travel and there's all sorts of crazy stuff so there's a so in the modern day it's like a like a like a romantic assassin like hitman kind of james bondy sexy james bondy kind of thing and in the future it's like this weird super high techtech insanity stuff.
Starting point is 02:01:25 Interesting. And so Batman's fought the original Grendel, and he's also fought Grendel Prime, who's the cyborg version, who went back in time to retrieve the bones of Grendel. What for? Religious stuff, I guess. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah, it's pretty cool.
Starting point is 02:01:37 The mask. The mask is Dark Horse, yeah. That's due for something, right? Yeah. Look, give us a really gross version of that. I don't think they would. I think they'd just be like, remember Jim Carrey? I don't really gross version of that i don't think they would i think they'd just be like remember jim carrey i don't want that though i don't want it either i don't like that movie no apparently i'm the only one in the world that doesn't like that movie but it's no good yeah uh look here's some okay but we were talking about comics great as
Starting point is 02:01:57 well there's also ghost which is ghost ghost was part of the superhero line she was a uh she was a woman who believed she was... A ghost. Yeah, a ghost. That's easily disproved. I know, right? Ridiculous. But she could turn invisible and walk through walls and stuff.
Starting point is 02:02:12 Oh, okay. Well, then I retract that. Okay, good. Ghost was good. Yeah, look, I would say Grendel for sure and the mask, definitely. Okay. Give us a gross version of the mask. That'd be like a super violent one.
Starting point is 02:02:27 Yeah, okay. Because that's what it was. I like the original, the Jim Carrey one. No, you don't. I do. Talking of things that don't hold up. Yeah, I bet it doesn't hold up. Well, that's something that I'm not going to go back to.
Starting point is 02:02:36 But yeah, just the original comic books were just so violent and just weird. Yeah. And cartoony that I reckon that's that's ripe for her give us that who is ninja turtles uh it's still um it's image i think yeah so it's it's the guys who invented it i guess yeah right kevin eastman peter laird yeah i mean they probably still have the rights as well yeah no it is you're right and idw idw do it to the present. Cool. All right. Nice. All right. Cool.
Starting point is 02:03:05 Cool. Apparently they're doing a reboot of that anyway. Yeah. Cool. Cool. Okay. Well, that's the show, Mason. Unless you've got another letter.
