If you don't mind. I don't mind at all. I love them. Red hot comic book movie news. Shooting up your butthole. The Weekly Planet. The Weekly Planet. Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of The Weekly Planet, where we talk movies

and comics and TV shows. My name is James, also known as Mr. Sunday. With me, as always, is my co-host, Nick Mason. Good to be here! Gotta keep it upbeat, Mason, because we're fucked this country into the dirt. Oh, no! So we just gotta, you know, keep it going. Us personally, we do it. No, definitely not.

Okay, then. Great. Terrific. Stay positive. There was an election, everybody, but, you know, everything will be fine. Don't worry will be fine Don't even worry about it The words you say indicate positivity But the tone, less than positive But let's not dwell on it Let's talk about fun stuff Agreed, and speaking of Australia Becoming a nightmarish hellscape

That we can never escape from Mortal Kombat's filming here next year It is in Adelaide In Adelaide of all places Listen up You know what what it's not that bad it was talking to claire about the state of the nation you know what i mean there's some good things going on well mortal kombat's filming in adelaide obviously that's a good thing yeah you know what i mean i think obviously like the candidates on both sides were not great obviously well i mean on one side you've got Liu Kang, the hero of Earth,

and then the other side you've got Shao Kahn. And I would say there's a clear difference between those two. I mean, because there wasn't really a distinct difference enough between the two of them is what I'm saying. You know what I mean? Well, I guess they can both shoot fireballs.

Yeah, that's what I mean. But Shao... I know Liu... Shao Kahn can't fire. I'm thinking of Shang Tsung. Right, okay. He can shoot fireballs, but they have like skulls in them.

Yeah, okay, yeah. Which is weird. Yeah, it's interesting. Yeah. We're just going to wait and see how it plays out, don't we? I think Liu Kang will probably defeat Shao Kahn. You think in the end? Yeah.

Okay, right, yeah. But there might be some sort of time travel twist. Oh. Depending, because the new one's all about time travel. Yeah. The new game is all about time travel. So I wonder what the plot of this one will be. Do you think we'll be able to get some time travel to escape what's been happening?

In Australia? Or Mortal Kombat. Whatever. I don't think we have the technology yet. I just think if the world's on fire, maybe address it. Just look into it a little bit. Yeah.

And maybe move towards sustainable energy sources because, you know, the shit that you dig out of the earth doesn't last forever. There's a finite amount. You can also create... Of nether realm ectoplasm. Even, you can create new jobs in new areas, is what I'm saying. And fix the fucking internet.

Anyway, Mortal Kombat's filming, Mason. Yep. Next year, it's produced by James Wan, directed by Simon McQuade. Okay. Mac and then Q-U-O-I-D. This is his first live action film, but he's done some stuff in video games. I know he's done some Call of Duty movies

and cut scenes and things like that. All right, okay. He's got some talent, no doubt. That's quite a jump. Yeah, well, definitely. But I guess that's, you know, McG was commercial director. Can you think of a better example?

Nope. Tim Miller, Deadpool. Michael Bay did ads as well. Can you think of a better example, Mason? Tim Miller, Deadpool. That is a good one. Thank you. Yeah.

So good, I guess, they're doing this. I mean, this might be the one that knocks it out of the park. We say that every time about video game adaptations. But they've had so many tries at Mortal Kombat, they must have refined it at this point. so close they really did quite recently when they did that they did that fan film yeah there was mortal kombat it was set in the real world and then they did that that the a slightly different version of that more fantastical more fantastical web series which i thought was also pretty good some of them were good some of them were good so maybe this one will be real, real good. Yeah.

Do you think that leaned too heavily on what if it was real? No, not really. You don't think so? I think the short film did. The short film did, yeah, yeah. But the other one. Turns out Raiden was in a mental asylum, but he really was Raiden. That's true. Hadouken.

Hadouken, as he says. Hadouken indeed. Yeah. Yeah. Do you have any favourite Mortal Kombat characters that you enjoy playing with? I was always a big fan of Scorpion. Yeah. Yeah. I like... Do you have any favourite Mortal Kombat characters that you enjoy playing with? I was always a big fan of Scorpion. Yeah. He was my go-to.

Okay. Mine's Sub-Zero. Or Raiden. We're traditional rivals then. Agreed. Yeah. But now we've figured out that it was Quan Chi the whole time. Maybe?

Yeah. I am going to buy the new one. The plot is insane. It really is. I am going to buy the new one because I do like those games, but I'll wait until it's... The Gold Edition. The Gold Edition and they take out all the garbage, basically.

The Game of the Year and all the downloadable characters in there already. I would be interested to know, are they going to go back to basics? Are they going to be like, well, it's the first Mortal... Because, again, there's so much lore and there's so much plot at this point. Do you throw in... Is it just the original Mortal Kombat, but, like, updated, or is it... I don't think you need to do that.

I think people get it at this point. Yeah, right. I think you can just go, it's a few years in and there's a tournament every now and then. And it's for the fate of the realm! All right, okay. All right. So is it original...

All I'm saying is there's a finite amount of... Yeah. Sorry, go on. Well, I mean, you know, they say there's global warming, but Sub-Zero can shoot cold out of his hands. So, go on. Well, I mean, you know, they say there's global warming, but Sub-Zero can shoot cold out of his hands. So, what's really happening, you know? Do they do original Sub-Zero?

Because he's dead now. Or his brother. Or his brother. No, he's a robot now. He's not a robot. No, they turned original Sub-Zero into a robot. But he's not a robot anymore. They unroboted him.

How do you do that? Now he's noob cybot. Oh, because they got him from time or something? Yeah. Because I know 9 or 10 did time travel. I didn't play the last one, but I played the last, last one, where they go back and redid the entire saga. Yeah, but the original Sub-Zero died, and then they replaced him with...

Sub-Zero's brother. Yes, but then... Grub-Zero. Grub-Zero, but then Sub-Zero... The original Sub-Zero is Noob Cybot, who's the black spirit character who was originally just a joke character, and now he's in the mythos.

Yeah. And I think second Sub-Zero was turned into a cyborg, but then he was un-cyborged. Oh, yeah, he was turned into a sexy robot. That's right. Yeah. I never said sexy robot, but that's interesting. You were thinking of Mason.

He was thrusting his hips, as he was saying. Oh, yes. Does he have dreadlocks, that one at the back? A lot of them do. I think they all have dreadlocks, that one at the back? A lot of them do. I think they all have dreadlocks, yeah. All the robots have dreadlocks? Yeah. Yeah.

I don't know. I don't think we need an origin to be like, the characters meet each other and it's like, Liu Kang, you've got to fight in this tournament. But he's like, but I'm not ready. I can't even do my bicycle kick yet or whatever. Yeah. He can do it.

He can do the bicycle kick already. I think that was maybe the downfall of the original one is he couldn't. Do the bicycle kick? I think he could do the bicycle kick, but he couldn't do the fireball. He does the fireball right at the end. He's just a regular dude until the end and then fireball.

I think that's okay, though, because it's the 90s. Yeah, right. Nobody committed in the 90s. Nobody committed to anything. Yeah. That guy was good, though, as Liu Kang. Some of those people were good in those roles. Agreed.

Raiden. Yes. I don't think so yeah christopher lambert bring him back no somebody else and better okay somebody else and better that's correct okay well here's what so wait okay but before you so where where do you want the plot to be like what era do you want just because the one the one the modern one's very confusing yeah i know you wouldn't go like there's been 10 mortal kombat tournaments and now there's time travel you wouldn't you wouldn't go that but i think you could move it down the line a little bit okay like they are with batman for example which we'll get to all right in a moment i reckon they're just going to do straight reboot yeah i reckon it's going to be like what's going on well there's a i'm johnny cage i'm a moving star yeah. Who do they get for Johnny Cage? Because you need someone who's sort of... The guy from Entourage, obviously.

Yeah. Johnny Drama. No, I was going to say Vince. Because he's good at pretending to be a famous guy. That's true, yeah. He's doubted at that point. No, I reckon Johnny Drama. You know?

Yep. And E can be Goro. Yes, absolutely. Turtle, not Goro? Turtle can be Motaro, who's the guy. Oh, the tiger one? No, he was like a bull. Oh, yeah.

Centaur kind of guy, yeah. Apparently difficult to program for because you don't have the proportions. All of them have rough human proportions. Yeah, right. But that one, weird. Weird like Centaur man. Yeah. Turtle.

Did you know Turtle was Claymation the whole time in Entourage? I did not know. It's true. They must have spent a lot of money and time on that show. Yeah, but it was the best show ever made, so. Yeah, it was worth it. It was worth it, yeah. Good point.

This series struggles on for some reason. Angel has fallen. The Weekly Planet? Oh. Yeah, that is not untrue. It's not inaccurate, is it? Angel has fallen. Yeah, that is not untrue. It's not inaccurate, is it? Angel Has Fallen. So this is a sequel to Olympus Has Fallen

and London Has Fallen in whatever order they were in. I think it was Olympus Has Fallen first because that one came out the same time. And that also makes sense. Yeah, it does. You can't start with London Has Fallen. No. Unless that's from a nursery rhyme or something, is it?

Well, London Bridge Is Falling Down, et cetera, and so forth. I bet there's probably a slow version of that song in the trailer. Yeah, I bet there is. You've seen these? I've seen maybe the first one. I agree. But I've also seen White House Down, which is the superior model of this. I don't know if it is.

Which is, there's a, no, it's fun. I think Olympus Has Fallen is better than White House Down. Wow, all right. Yeah. Controversial. Yeah. Wow, this is going to be one of the rare we disagree slightly on some things episode. That we don't really know if we've seen.

Correct, yes. Yeah, so Jerry Butler's back. Where's he from? Who's to say? Yeah. What's his accent? We don't know. We don't know.

But his dad's Nick Nolte. Yeah. How did he find him? He works for the goddamn president. That's how he knows. But also, how did he get this job protecting the president if his dad is some sort of weird out in the woods doomsday prepper?

You'd think that that would disqualify you straight away. Yes, it definitely would. Unless he became the weird doomsday prepper after Jerry Butler got the job. But even then, they'd probably still disqualify him. I think you would.

They'd be like, listen, your dad's ruined this for you. Your dad's gotten you fired. It happens. Yeah. Maybe they had a... You know what, though? Maybe this has happened like like listen your dad's ruined this for you your dad's gotten you fired it happens yeah maybe they had a dis maybe you know what though maybe this has happened like they had they had a disagreement at the christmas dinner table like christmas 2018 yeah and he's just nick nolte's immediately gone out and become a doomsday prepper maybe that's the key that's entirely possible like

he was totally normal and then he's like drones no thank you i'm gonna go out and live in the woods so it's just and he's grown the beard since then. He probably also saw London has fallen or had fallen. Oh, yeah. And he was like, well, I've got to get ready for where Ireland has fallen. Yeah, absolutely. So he's being framed for the murder of the... Didn't that happen in the last term?

I don't know. We don't know. No one knows. But the president's no longer Aaron Eckhart. Morgan Freeman. Morgan Freeman, who was the vice president in some of these maybe Or in White House Down, who knows Didn't the last one, did he not protect the president and he was shot?

And now Morgan Freeman's the president? I think this is a testament to the power of narrative, first of all But also the power of narrative within the has-fallen-iverse Which is that we don't know I've seen one of these, but who knows which one and who knows what happened in it. Yeah. They all blur together.

They certainly do. What else happens in this? Drones? Drones that look like birds, but they're drones. So what happened? The plot seems to be that a huge swarm of exploding drones is sent out to kill the president and some of his aides while they're fishing.

They're on a fishing trip. He just wants to get out of D.C., mate. He needs a chance to get out of the bloody border. That's right. Pencil pushes. He just wants to be out in nature. Get the bloody rod out. It doesn't even matter if you catch anything on those.

It's just about the ambience, mate. Just have a nice time out, you know. Bring a Sanger. Bring a Sanger. Bring a cool case of beer. Cool Coors Light, mate. Give me some Coors Light Yeah Give me some Coors Light

Bless you America Bless you Salute Saluting to you Yes And then the drones come out And they blow up everything Yeah

And he's clearly in harm's way For a huge amount of it And he's saved also by The has Johnny has fallen Yeah but then Then They're like

Okay Jerry Butler Yeah Even though you were nearly killed Multiple times here You were definitely involved here Johnny has fallen Yeah but then Then They're like Okay Jerry Butler Yeah Even though you were Nearly killed Multiple times here You were definitely Involved here And he's like

I've been set up Yeah Probably like the last time And then it was revealed I wasn't set up Well this time's Probably different No it's not

It's never different It's never different Where am I from Yeah Anyway we're probably Not going to watch this Until it's on Netflix Yep absolutely If even then Good on it You want some Black Widow updates Yes It's never different. Where am I from? Yeah. Anyway, we're probably not going to watch this until it's on Netflix. Yeah, absolutely.

If even then, good on it. You want some Black Widow updates? Yes. Black Widow is apparently rumoured to take place between Civil War and Infinity War. So after she's on the run for punching up that airport. Yep. But before, spoiler alert, one, two, three, she falls off that mountain and dies. Yes.

But also before the events of Infinity War. So well before. She falls off that mountain and dies yes so but also before the events of infinity war so well before she falls off the mountain by many years so it sounds like it will be a prequel but it won't be the pre-prequel the pre-prequel okay right prequel do you think they could set up somehow some element in between that period where it saves her somehow oh yeah like maybe she you know there's some sort of. Like she puts her mind into a robot using a bunch of PlayStations like Chappie. Yes, exactly. Yes.

Okay. Yeah. Do I want to watch a Chappie Black Widow movie? Yeah. Oh, do you think she does it right at the start and then it's just a PlayStation running around like assassinating dictators and stuff? Yes. Okay, that's cool. Voice of, what's his name as well? The voice of Chappie. Ninja. Yes. Okay, that's cool. Voice of, what's his name as well?

The voice of Chappie. Ninja. Yeah, no, the other guy. Whose voice is Chappie? He's also in things. He's South African. He doesn't like prawns, but then he becomes a prawn. Yeah, that guy.

Sharto Copley. Sharto Copley, right. Yeah, very good. South Africa's Gerard Butler. Yeah. He kind of is. Yeah, he is. He's got the hair.

Yes. He was in the A-Team. Yep. Gerard Butler. Yeah. He kind of is. He's got the hair. He was in the A-Team. Yep. Is Gerard Butler in the A-Team? No, but he would be in the A-Team. Yeah, because he might have been. Yeah, he might have been in the A-Team, exactly. You cannot rule it out.

I really can't. Yeah, so, okay, fine. Yeah, I'd rather a modern day one. But what I'm saying is like maybe sometime in between there, we set up like, okay, okay well she meets a cosmic being and they're like i mean that's kind of out of character for black widow and she said she's never been to space so that's true i don't know but maybe maybe yeah maybe she does back up her brain she's a liar yeah maybe she's a liar i don't think she backs up her brain i think it's just a it's just a prequel. Or an in-between qualm, as they're calling them these days.

So there you go. Kevin Feige also has said in an extensive Q&A, one of the things that he was asked about was the Mandarin and whether the Mandarin will return. Yes. And the simple answer he gave was yes. Okay. People are thinking maybe Shang-Chi movie.

Oh, yeah. Pretty cool. Are they enemies of sorts? Have they ever met? I don't know. Everybody's an enemy of everybody. Yeah, okay. You the marvel universe look as we talk about that i'm gonna google it real quick okay and just see what happens but didn't he also say uh in regard to people always asking hey when the snap happened and all the people disappeared what about the people on planes when

this got snapped back what where were they well he yeah he was like, well, we call the Hulk Smart Hulk. So, yes, he figured that out. Yeah. So that's pretty good. That is pretty good. So it also seems like they're not really going to be doing one shots because those kind of narratives, they're going to weave into the Disney Plus stuff. Yeah.

Because that makes more sense as well to do it like that. Agreed, yeah. Yeah. I mean, financially, you know what I mean? Money-wise. Yes. Coins and and such pay more for more streaming services that's what i'm saying yes you lock them in forever that's right patreon.com slash mr sunday movies yeah lock them in lock them in chuck in a buck that's right or he needs a clever little rhyming catchphrase you get them you'll get any yeah look the first 20 results For Shang-Chi Mandarin are

Hey Shang-Chi The Mandarin could be Shang-Chi's dad There's a lot of that Or the other way Yep or the other way It's true Yeah But it's all related to

Well maybe they could tie them in together There's no It's not like Hey what about this 100 times they fought in the comic books I can't say anything here Maybe they're not related. They could just be two dudes.

Yeah. Yeah, agreed. Two different dudes. Two different dudes. Oh, that could be the title. Two different dudes. Shang-Chi versus the Mandarin. Two different dudes.

They're two different dudes. And Shang-Chi's on the couch and he's eating pizza. Yeah. And he's got sunglasses on. Yep. And then behind him, the Mandarin's got a vacuum cleaner and he's like, mmm, Shang-Chi.

We're two different dudes. We're two different dudes here. I can't believe I got sentenced to be a butler. So you're happy about this, I'd imagine. Yeah, I like the Mandarin. You like the Mandarin.

You're the only person in the world who doesn't like Iron Man 3. Correct, yes. All those things are true. Every now and then someone will be like, hot take, Iron Man 3 is the best movie or whatever. Uh-huh. Yeah, it's a pretty hot take.

Yeah. They're burning their Criterion collection in like a barbecue at the back as a YouTube video and they're like, I've just seen Iron Man 3 and these are all going in the bin, to be honest. Did you know Michael Bay's in the Criterion collection? I don't know. That's all I had. I was hoping you knew and could fill in the blank. bin, to be honest. Did you know Michael Bay's in the Criterion Collection? For? I don't know.

That's all I had. I was hoping you knew and could fill in the blank. Well, I don't know that. Okay, I'm going to look it up. Okay. Probably Bad Boys? Probably Bad Boys. Let me check.

Armageddon. Wow. And also The Rock. There you go. Yeah. Did not see that coming. No. Yeah.

The Rock's pretty good. The Rock is good, is it the criterion collection good no i don't know as i say that with a huge ignorance of what is in the criterion collection yeah like this is what does it actually mean to be in the criteria collection yeah right i mean maybe i mean if the criterion collection is for like here's an example of like here's peak genre of something then maybe throw yeah throw the rock in there yeah why not why not you know why not that's interesting yeah i don't collect dvds do you or physical medias like that i collect like video games i keep yeah i'm like do i collect anything i turn around i've got like four boxes of video games it's like 2002 maybe i do yeah that doesn't count i don't think that counts as

collecting though just having just because you the you know it's not like you get them and you put them up on your wall and you're like, one day I'll get to that. Yeah. You play it and then you just haven't thrown it away or given it away. No, less so now. Like, I look at my PlayStation games and I'm like, I've beaten every one of these. And I look at my PS4 games and I'm like, I played Owlboy for seven minutes. Yes.

And I didn't touch it again. Because of your fear of owls? It might be that. You're like, I'm going to, immersion therapy, I'm going to play this owl-based game. Didn't work. Still scared of owls it might be like i'm gonna immersion therapy i'm gonna play this owl based game didn't work still scared of owls don't like it but i won't throw it out because i'm a collector yeah well look i buy stuff on blu-ray now yeah not all the time like it's on streaming or i can you know rent it or whatever i probably won't but if it's something like if it's it's if it's some big spectacular yeah i'll probably get it and again just because

things keep disappearing off Netflix. Anytime you want to watch it. Yeah. What about if, like, say, when they change the format? If it went up to 4K or 8K? For four years, you pull out your eyeball and you put in, like, a ball that's got Iron Man 3 in it and you stick it in your socket and then you can see it.

Do I have to interchange them for every movie? I guess you do. Make sure you use the same eye, though, every time. That seems incredibly unpleasant and painful. But I guess. I want them all on my shelf. Imagine all the different eyeballs. No, they'd be rolling off the shelf.

They'd be rolling off the shelf. I mean, they'd be rolling off the shelf because they're so popular. You know what I mean? Sure. These are just rolling off the shelf. What is the next physical media? Is there anything or is it just going to be streaming, do you think? I think it's probably Disney will buy Netflix.

Yeah. And then the eyeball thing. Then what do we do? Get delivered. They're going to reverse it. Watch us. Is that what happens? Yeah.

That's right. Great. It really makes you think.

And is your phone you or are you your phone? Yeah right Who's really on the phone? That's right You or your phone? You know? Yeah As with all Black Mirror trailers

Who knows what any of this is Who knows what's happening yeah that's right Yeah it's a man who's had enough though That's right Yeah He's had enough of cheating on his wife with a robot Probably And he's ready to gouge his eyes out with

a bit of glass but he's a robot what and his wife is also a robot what cheating on a robot with a robot and he's a robot wow and it's in a phone what yeah it's someone's eye what so anthony mack is in this like that he is too yeah and the guy is iris is in this but i guess there's like some kind of virtual pop star or something. Do you think it's some sort of riff, if you will, on her being Hannah Montana and the duality... Very possible, Mason. ...personas and blah, blah, blah, blah?

Maybe. Maybe. Do you think Billy Ray Cyrus is in this? That's what I was going to ask. Is you implying that Billy Ray Cyrus is going to show up? Yes. Who do you think is going to be like the persona for Billy Ray Cyrus? Is it going to be Billy Ray Cyrus as the onstage performer

or is it the guy putting on the VR suit? Does he become Bono, say? Oh, I see, right. You know what I think happens is it's Billy Ray Cyrus as he is now and then when he puts on the VR suit, he becomes Billy Ray Cyrus, Achy Breaky Heart era because that's how he imagines himself to be. In his mind, he's never himself to be right yeah in his mind

he's never aged from that yeah but in real life I assume he has significantly I can't picture him otherwise no I can't either yeah

there you go no I think you're right there's also a guy who's like everybody's on their phones too much yeah he does a Michael Douglas

falling down yeah but everybody's on their phones too much to notice yeah and maybe a cheeseburger's too much

they're like shhh where are my phones too much too much we well. They're like, shh, where are my phones? Too much. Too much. We knew there was going to be more. I didn't think it was going to take this long because Bandersnatch came out in like late December

and it's June 5th. Huh. It seems like a breeze to me. Yeah. I feel I'm still going through Bandersnatch options. Are you? No. I'm going to look and see if they've unearthed any more bandersnatch secrets

i do wonder though whether this is the whole season bandersnatch in these three because i think last time they did six but bandersnatch is such an involved project yeah that makes me think this could be the full season five whatever we're up to at this point yeah yeah yeah okay upon reflection because i remember you saying bandersnatch is okay yeah you thought it was okay yeah do you still think it's just okay yeah i haven't thought about it okay you haven't thought about it at all still okay i've been thinking about nothing else what are you all the endings what about you though i think it's i think look i think again based on the fact that after that we got bear grills falls off a mountain if you don't get him to

hold on to something yeah do you watch it no exactly right that's what I'm saying I'm saying that the Bandersnatch they really put some effort in I think they should be commended yeah totally completely agree yeah yeah interesting experiment from probably the best version of that that we'll ever get exactly yeah I've clicked I've googled Bandersnatch secrets and at the wrap.com it says Black Mirror Bandersnatch has a secret ending with a crazy easter egg. This is from March and I've tried to open it

and it's like, cannot open page. That's the twist. Network connection was lost. Oh no. Yeah. That's pretty good. Really makes you think,

doesn't it? Yeah. Do you reckon that... Wait, it's loading now. Oh, I was going to say, is that in itself, is that a Bandersnatch ending itself? That is a Bandersnatch ending

in itself, yeah. It's filtered into the real world. Yeah, that's right. Great. Okay. So this is the Bandersnatch ending itself, yeah. It's filtered into the real world. Yeah, that's right. Great. Okay. So this is the most recent thing in March. So let's see if there's any.

No, it's the same one. Which one is that? It's the one where you get on the bus and instead of the tape you selected, it's the tape that says Bandersnatch. That was like in December. I know. I know. This is from March, though. Come on.

But, James, we're in March right now. No, we're not. Bandersnatch. We're not in March. Black Mirror. And Bandersnatch also didn't come out in March. Check your Google Calendar. I did.

It's gone. I'm looking it up now. No, it's gone. Now it just says Black Mirror. Just says Black Mirror. Look a bit closer. You're trapped in your Google Calendar. Look a bit closer.

You're trapped in your Google Calendar. You're trapped in a Google Calendar and you've got to go to a school working bee tomorrow. I don't want that. No, but you have to though. But I'm in my calendar? Yeah. That's fine. Okay.

I'll take that. Nice, cool. It's options apparently. I've been looking into it for schools. A lot of schools is you can go to the things and like help at the school or you can just pay like 200 bucks. And I'm i'm like well that's the easiest money i'll ever spend okay this much i don't want to stand next to a guy who's telling me how to shovel fucking

tan bark all right if i can go there and wear earmuffs i'll do it all right but other than that you want to be on leaf blower duty basically yeah sure whatever i don't care all right okay what's the thing where you don't talk to people that's not sitting in a room like a hermit listening to a podcast that's exactly what it is yes it's you know what but community is important i'm i'm actually i'm actually i'm actively going to get involved okay i'm gearing myself up for it i'm going to be one of those guys all right all right that's what i'm gonna do wow he's committed on a podcast to being the worst version of myself terrific okay uh speaking of things returning, Rick and Morty Season 4 returns this November.

Ooh. I wonder if the sheen and the shine is going to peel away by the time it rolls around. We'll be like, oh, we've seen all this, and it's more of the same or whatever. You know what I mean? It's been a while now. Yeah, okay.

2014 was maybe the first season. I don't know. Were reactions to the most recent season mixed? I think it was good on the whole, but there was definitely a bit of like, ah, there is with everything. Yeah, right. And I think the last season was peak.

I demand they remake it. Yeah, last season was peak, I think, Rick and Morty, Bad Apple fans going insane. I think it was peak bad behaviour, so maybe The Shine will come off. Yeah. I mean, everything does. You know what I mean?

Like Family Guy was the edgiest thing in the world at one point. Do you think that the plot that is seemingly unfolding, like the hidden... Yeah. Do you think that's going to emerge in this season? Definitely, yeah. Do you think that this is going to be the last season because it seems like they're struggling to put out... They did, like, 70. They've committed to, like, 70 episodes.

Okay, right. Okay. Yeah, so... Okay, so do you think there's going to be a resolution to the evil Morty plot? Yes. In this season? Oh, no. Okay, right, great. Okay. Right. Okay. Yeah. So do you think, okay. So do you think there's going to be a resolution to the evil Morty plot? Yes. In this season? Oh no. Okay.

Right. Great. I think you're going to, yeah. Extend it out a bit. Cause I feel like maybe that, that is the storyline they've been weaving through for a bit. Yeah.

And that I feel is maybe the plot. That's where the plot is peaking. Yes. Like, I think this might be the revelation. It might be a revelation of maybe this rick and morty aren't the original rick and morty yeah i'd say and maybe again i think that people have floated that the evil morty was the original morty that this that our rick has abandoned many years ago yeah and

maybe that's what's going to come up so i think if if they if they resolve all that that all resolve all this in them in this upcoming season they won't have another plot to fall back on. I recently watched... Because everyone then... Like, it'll cycle back on Netflix. And I watched that return, like that Evil Morty one. That's a great episode. Yeah.

But also, I could also see them just solving it in a minute. Yeah, right. In like one episode. Like in five minutes. Yeah, like they did when Rick was trapped at the end of the last season and then the season after he got out. He just escaped immediately. Yeah, that's episode. Yeah, yeah. Like in five minutes. Yeah, like they did when Rick was trapped at the end of the last season and then the season after he got out. He just escaped immediately. Yeah, that's true.

Yeah, yeah. I can see it going any number of ways. Do you feel like the showrunners of Rick and Morty are like, I wonder how that emerged. Do you think it was just like, well, I don't want to deal with a whole season where he's trapped in a thing. I'll just say he's escaped. Or do you think it was just like.

I think they planned it. They think they were like cliffhanger, the cliffhanger straight away yeah okay all right because you don't really need to say anything beyond that i feel that's true yeah remember they released it on april 24th don't mind if i do what i did like about that justin roiland gets asked like every day when's the next season is and so on that day a good guy asked him and he just went fine here it is and he just went, fine, here it is. And he just tweeted it out to that one guy. Oh, that's fun.

He's just waiting. What else we got here? Oh, yes. Star Wars News. Oh, no. All right, hit me with it. Go ahead. The new trilogy will apparently be the one that's in 2022, 2024, 2026.

Okay. It will be the GTO bros themselves, not us. We're big GTO bros. Do the gto bros themselves not us we're big gto bros do you mean got bros what did i say gto bros i mean that because we're we're the got bros they're the gto bros okay they're the games thrones of okay good games thrones of yes uh speaking of i don't know whether we're going to do an episode or we're going to talk about game of thrones next week yeah because next week is john Wick, Brightburn, Aladdin. So, no, John Wick's this week. Yes.

Would be Game of Thrones, Aladdin, Brightburn. Yeah. So I don't know. Maybe we'll do a video on it. I don't know. Okay. But the final episode is unfolding right now as we record. I believe so, yes.

Yeah, okay. So. Yeah, we got to this one a little late, so I'm going to have to bloody get in the bloody editing chair. Do you know what I mean? It was late last week. The same chair you're currently in? No, I don't like editing in this chair.

I'll let it on the couch. Okay. Yeah. Is that okay? Yep, all right. I'll lie down on the couch. I don't know whether that's good for me or bad for me. Lying down on a couch.

Yeah. Constantly looking at a laptop. Yeah. Never moving your face from a laptop. Yeah. What do you think? I mean, it can't be worse than sitting in an office chair or it is worse

because people like you should sit on one of those balls, but apparently they're really bad for you as well all right so i was lying down right have i done the right thing standing desks no good apparently james yeah none of them are good for you black mirror it's the looking at the it's looking at the computer that's doing it to you i think the trick is james look look you're not you're not sitting on a chair at all you're just sort of squatting with nothing below you because you're so obsessed with your computer. You've just adopted the pose. Your legs are wasting away though.

Black mirror. I think the idea is you just got to get up every half an hour. Isn't that what they say? Yeah. Yeah, black mirror. You've just gotten up, but guess what? You're back in the chair. No.

You got up and now you're on the roof, but you're in a chair also. The new Star Wars trilogy will be David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. It's been confirmed in a Bob Iger. Your dad was speaking to the shareholders. Yeah, right. So people are not happy about that, I guess, because of Game of Thrones. The shareholders aren't happy? No, they're fine with it. Okay, right fans are demanding a remake yes they've done it again

they've done it again what do you think about um remakes and i mean people have asked us to address it like remakes and petitions and all that kind of stuff i think yeah that you need to take a piece of art as it is. And if everything you wanted to come to fruition in this season did, I think a lot of people would be like, yawn. Right, okay. I've seen it all before. Look, I definitely, we'll talk about it, but I have problems with it.

It's done. It is done, yeah. Like, there'll be another thing. Yeah, right. It doesn't matter, man. Yeah. I think people are also, I think a lot of the reason people are mad is because, from what I'm told, HBO said to the two guys, we'll give you as much time and as much money as you want to finish this saga

however you want. And they went, nah, we'll do it in six. Yeah. We'll just knock it out in six. It'll be fine. And I think there's, look, again, we'll talk about it if we six it'll be fine and i think there's look again we'll talk about if we do a game of thrones video but it's not so much where some of the characters ended up yeah as of

the second to last episode it's more that there was a real narrative jump yeah it wasn't it wasn't that okay well this character started here in season one and now they're here yeah people don't mind that it's so much that they had, you know, a good solid character development up until the most recent season and then they just flipped. Yeah. And if there was enough time,

the character could have evolved to where it is now. I think with some slight tweaks, you could even make it work. Because you haven't finished it yet. I haven't finished it yet, no. We'll talk about it when you... Because you're watching them all tomorrow, is that right? Yeah, I'm watching them all tomorrow, yeah.

All 15 hours or whatever. That's right. Whatever they're doing. Yeah. Because I that right? Yeah, I'm watching them all tomorrow, yeah. All 15 hours or whatever it is. That's right, yeah. Whatever they're doing. Yeah. Because I think except for the first two, they're all an hour 20. Yeah, right, okay. So settle in, Mason. I'm going to settle in.

Yeah. Anyway, they're doing Star Wars. Okay, I guess. Well, yeah, because the thinking seems to have been that they're like, we'll just clear the slate. Yeah. Game of Thrones is out and we'll just do... Yeah. Couldn't they have just given Game of Thrones to somebody else that they're like, we'll just clear the slate. Yeah. Game of Thrones is out and we'll just do. Yeah.

Couldn't they have just given Game of Thrones to somebody else? No. Okay, then. I mean, they probably got offered a lot of money. And maybe they want to see out this story just like we want to see out this podcast. Yeah, that's true. How do you think this will end? A gunfight.

Okay. Yeah. Just directly across from each other? Oh, no. We're bystanders. Oh, we're shot in a gunfight. Yeah. Just directly across from each other? Oh, no, we're bystanders. Oh, we're shot in a gunfire. Yep. Is it just in the regular, like a main street near us? Why are we here?

That's a good question. It's drones. Oh, yeah. It's the drones from earlier. It actually makes a lot of sense. Yeah, it does, doesn't it? Yeah, Black Mirror. Black Mirror.

The other thing that he brought up was, he said there's obviously the two Star Wars TV shows that are happening, Cassian Andor and The Mandalorian, which looks terrific. Yeah. I think The Mandalorian's going to make a lot of people happy because it's like Star Wars for adults. Yeah, right.

Because I think I genuinely feel like the movies are for everybody. The cartoon shows are for kids, but you can be an adult and watch them yeah right for sure and this is going to be some adult stuff i think maybe they should have done this a bit earlier so people didn't complain as much so do you think this is this is for maybe for people who watch star wars as kids and then they've grown up and they're like well i'd like the universe but i'd rather not yeah what if ig88 what if ig88 thank you yeah so yeah yeah that's what i maybe they should have done this like two years ago do you think this is going to have the same epic scope as your movies or do you think it's going to be more okay right you don't think

it's going to be more human stories no i think yeah it will be but i think it's also going to look like a movie yeah like the way that some tv shows yeah right for sure and some but no i do mean like as in like the universe is at stake and whatever yeah i mean i mean no scope yeah no i know yes then yes to the thing you said oh yeah no there you go but they said a third tv show is in development we don't know what i people are saying obi-wan series because that's been rumored to be a movie and then shift into a tv series also that, that's the only thing I want to see. Right. Like, you can shut it all down after that.

For sure, yeah. That's all I've wanted this whole time. But what if it's not what you want? Will you demand a remake? Oh, well, yeah, obviously. If it's not what I want, then yes, because I demand a thing. I don't own it.

I never had any creative control in any of it initially. But it's mine and I want it and it's mine. Yeah, I know. Yeah. Look, nobody's ever disput's true, it is. And I want it, and it's mine. Yeah, I know. Yeah. Yeah. Look, nobody's ever disputed that Obi-Wan solo series hasn't been yours, all right? Okay, good.

Yeah. Excellent. Like, what I also don't like about the petitions is the thousands of articles that are like, look at these people who want petitions. Like, it's, you're the one perpetuating this. That's true, yeah. Like, if you don't like it, just like we're doing as well,

I guess I'm talking about it, yeah. Yeah, but we've had an additional third layer of meta commentary, so it's fine. Yeah, that's right. So in other news, it was reported from Variety that Robert Pattinson is in the final negotiations for Batman. And then another publication was like, hang on, also Nicholas Holt. And then someone else was like, I heard Armie Hammer.

So it's probably Robert Pattinson. Robert Pattinson. Yes. What are we going to go with? Are we going to go with Robert Battinson? Yes. Or are we going to go with Patman? What about Robat Battons Bat?

Robat Battons Bat. Okay, good. All right. Because I think the two that I suggested were probably more mainstream. Yeah. You've added a third layer. Bat. Raw bat, bat and bat. Okay, good. All right. Because I think the two that I suggested were probably more mainstream. You know, they were a bit... You've added a third layer. Yeah, we've added a third layer with raw bat, bats and bat. So we're going to go with that.

That's his new... Raw bat, bat and bat. Yeah, raw bat, bat and bat. So, because, you know, bat fleck was a thing for a long time. So we need to settle into one. If this is going to be rumors and speculation for a long time, we need a simple nickname for Robert Pattinson. Something that just rolls off the tongue.

Just rolls off the tongue. So when we refer to him, we can use it as that. That's right. So it's Robert Bat and Bat. Robert Bat and Bat. Okay, cool. Because if you look at Nicholas Holt, what do you make that? Nicholas Bat.

It could be anyone. It could be Nicholas Cage. No, but it's not. It at Nicholas Holt, what do you make that? Nicholas Bat. It could be anyone. Could be Nicholas Cage. No, but it's not. It's Nicholas Holt. Battlest Bat. That makes it clearer, doesn't it? Yes, it does.

Nicholas Batman Holt. Yeah, well, that's not bad either. What do you think about... Rob Pattinson? I couldn't even think of the name we gave him rob at batten bat i think he's good agreed yeah and again the twilight movies came out like yeah more than 10 years ago at this point i think there was more people yelling at people about that than people complaining about twilight i think most people know that he's a good actor yeah i know that there's petitions and whatnot and so forth but i think most people know that he's a good actor. Yeah. I know that there's petitions and whatnot and so forth.

But I think most people know and think it's a good choice. I don't think it's that controversial. Yeah. I think it's a very good choice. I think he started out wanting to be a character actor or an actor's actor. And then he just got cast in a really high profile piece of fluff entertainment. And now he's had some profile. Credit to him for not just doing

teen movies and action movies or whatever. He did The Rover. He did the one where his brother and him rub a bank. He did the one where he's just in a limo for the whole movie. Yeah, apparently it's not great. But he's good. And of course he was Cedric Diggory. He was Cedric Diggory, that's true.

There you bloody go. But no, I think he's a great choice. people are also like, well he's too skinny or whatever But that's fine It's not a problem Anybody can get shredded He's probably Chris Hemsworth Like Home and Away era Yeah, look at Chris Hemsworth from like 2004

Fit, but not an enormous man Exactly, like Christian Bale as well as being a bloody yo-yo of a human being it is not difficult to get shredded in hollywood if a movie studio is paying for all your training sessions and all your food and it's just designed around that you don't have to go to a real job no you can just get shredded four hours a day or whatever exactly remember when who was steroids what's the guy uh uh rob mackle henny from robert battens yeah robert batten bat from uh always sunny yeah exactly he was fat for one season of always sunny and then he was hugely ripped and he just put up a post that was like

it's easy to do this if you get you know you just don't eat any of the food you like and yeah and have somebody prepare things for you and yeah exactly so again it's yeah that's the that's the least of our worries is is casting somebody's batman and seeing if they get shredded or not yeah exactly they're not going to be like oh he's still just a weedy man i guess we'll put him in anyway yeah no there's been also speculation that he's maybe he's the nightwing like and he's yeah okay sure which i actually don't mind either uh but there's also more rumors of course we've talked about this that it's set in the 90s and it looks like josh gad is the penguin he keeps talking about on twitter uh the story goes that they're doing penguin and catwoman again okay like batman returns and there's going to be four other villains like a rogues gallery very okay

yeah so that's good yeah um i was gonna, having not seen Gotham in a long time, I recently saw like the second to last scene of the last episode of Gotham, and it's the actors playing the Penguin and the Riddler just in full costume regalia all of a sudden. Like I'd not seen the show, but they were just like in business suits or whatever for every episode I'd seen of them, and then all of a sudden they're in like these technicolor suits in the darkness of gotham and like question marks and i love cravats and top hats or whatever question marks and i'm

like that's taken a turn that show hasn't well you missed the five seasons in between that's i guess i did yeah uh also we need i don't know whether that ended well i haven't really heard that much about it i haven't complained so i much about it. I haven't had complaints, so I assume that it did. Assume it ended fine. We're also going to need, if it's still speculations to who's who, we're going to need Army Hambat. Yep, that's not bad. Army Hambat. And who was the other one?

Josh Bat. Josh Bat. Josh Bat. Just in case he's Batman. Yeah, well, you never know because anyone can get shredded or whatever. Anyone can get shredded in Hollywood. Yeah, there you go. Okay, yeah, so look.

Seth Rogen was Green Hornet. Yep. He got shredded for that movie. Don't you remember? Yeah. The shirtless scene in Green Hornet. I remember. When he got totally shredded.

Yeah, I remember. He's flipping tires. He's got to train to fight Christoph Waltz's character. Yes. Christoph Waltz played in that movie. He's got to train to fight Christoph Waltz's character. Yes. Whoever Christoph Waltz played in that movie. He's got to flip tires. Does he flip tires in that? Yeah.

And he got totally shredded. Cameron Diaz, baby. You're thinking of the mask. No, she's in that. Is she? All right. Yeah. Cool.

She's like the Pepper Potts. Flipping tires. They're all flipping tires. They're all flipping tires. Who was his sidekick in that? Who was the actor? But he was flipping tires. Because he was good. I remember him being good, being like, they should use him for other things.

Great. It's ad time. It is ad time. And in a frenzy. Yes, I'm listening. I'm not really in a frenzy. You should be in a frenzy. I'm in a frenzy.

I'm in a frenzy, Mason. Yes. Because we're talking about movement watches. You love movement watches. Well, actually, I love movement watches. I project that onto the rest of the world. No're talking about movement watches. You love movement watches. Well, actually, I love movement watches. I project that onto the rest of the world. No, that's true. I do love movement watches.

But your love of movement watches knows no bounds. It's borders on the deranged. Can you get enough of their 1960s American-style muscle car inspired blacktop collection? You asked this earlier, and I cannot get enough. I was unaware that in wearing one, I've got one that's got like a nice green dial to it. It looks real real real sick i was unaware that that made me a cool greasy muscle car man that's right it does not greasy i mean that's that's unrelated to the watch greaser that's the term i'm thinking of that's the that's the correct yeah i didn't know i was a big muscle car man but i guess i am now i guess I guess you bloody are. I'm trying to get myself a Camaro.

Mason, they don't only do cool muscle car watches. They do other watches, of course. They do. They run the gamut from muscle car to dainty little watch. Car. Car. That's right. They have watches for men and women, sunglasses,

and also accessories that are perfect gifts for family or friends or significant others. Adorn every part of your body with movement watches and products. Agreed. And the thing is, you'll be getting a compliment, a left and a right and a center. No doubt. As we have many a times when we have strutted our stuff. A lot of people will say, I'll put on a movement watch and people will be like, people apropos of nothing, who I'm assuming are not being paid by movement will tell me that's a great watch.

That's some underground. Imagine if they were those. That's some underground marketing going on right there. That'd be some incredible marketing. Okay, we want a podcast who advertises for us to have a spontaneous moment where somebody enjoys their watch. Let's pay someone to come up to them in the street and tell them their watch is nice. You know what's also great about them? That's organic.

Yeah, definitely. Interchangeable straps for tons of occasions. If you're like, I'm going to a muscle car convention, I obviously need a strap for that. A muscle car strap, exactly. But I'm going to a different convention for a different style of watch. The opera convention. Yeah, that's right.

As an example. You can put on a fancier strap. A fancier one, that's right, yeah. They're all about looking good while keeping it simple. So they tell the time. They don't blow up your wrist with text messages or notifications or emails it's just another thing to look at it's just it affects your brain i reckon i totally agree uh and also uh that was started by a couple of cool college kids i say cool that'd have to be right or at least have a sense of style and

purpose i think so yeah i think you're absolutely right. That was sick of me. Maybe they weren't cool and then they were like, but if we wear these watches, we could be any kind of muscle car man we want to be. That's actually very possible because they were living on a tight budget as most people do. So they were like, let's spend millions of dollars on a watch company.

Well, they wanted a way for people to get watches from very high quality. So say you pay $400 for a watch company. Well, they wanted a way for people to get watches for a very high quality. So say you pay $400 for a watch, you'd pay about $95 for a movement one. And they do that, of course, by cutting out the middleman. They've also sold almost 2 million watches in over 160 countries. That's a lot of watches. And with the money you can save, you can buy...

A muscle car. A muscle car you've always wanted. Exactly. No, no. With the savings from an inexpensive movement watch, you could just purchase a muscle car. Just can save up for that muscle car you've always wanted. No, no. With the savings from an inexpensive move at watch, you could just purchase a muscle car. Just straight out. Just straight out in cash.

Now we've got to do John Wick 3.

We do. Why didn't they call it John Wick 3 Wiki Wiki Wild Wild West, Mason? Because it doesn't make any sense in or out of context. I wrote it down. That's fascinating that you did that. I did the notes late last night. Oh, you did cool. This will play.

Yeah. And it did. To who? To the listeners. You don't know that for sure. And to you. you want to talk box office yes 57 million in the u.s opening it toppled endgame huh in its fourth week in the cinema so yeah right good on that uh john wick one made 88 million worldwide in its total run

john wick two made 171 this couple of sleeper hits. That's right. This will beat both, which is good because, you know, these movies are good on the whole. But was this one good on the whole? Was it? Is that right? All right. I thought the martial arts was good. Now, normally you would throw in a what do you think the story was.

But I'm going to turn it around on you and I'm going to say, John Wick 3, can you tell me what the point was uh of this movie revenge no but what's the point of the movie the point was that he he was excommunicated yes from the last john wick too right and then he had to go and uh stop himself from being murdered yep so it was it was john wick not be not be murdered what was the point of the movie what do you mean Like where it ends and where it starts. Yeah. Are the same.

They're exactly the same. Okay. So it kind of goes, no, I think there's some changes. Okay. There's some shifts in the universe. Oh, yes. You think so? It can't happen.

Yeah, definitely. All right. I was going to say, like I've written here, it's kind of a weird one to spoil because the things that you really need to talk about aren't so much the narrative, it's the action sequences. Yeah, right. And how does that work in terms of spoilers? That's a good point because a lot of the stuff,

a lot of the major action sequences we see at least in part in the trailer. So there's very little of this that you don't already know is going to happen in this movie. Yes. Yeah. But I guess we save the major plot points for the end. Okay, let's do that. If indeed there is any. Generalities about the people.

So did you enjoy this movie? Yeah. I thought it was... Yeah, I mean, choreography-wise, yeah, it's amazing. Yeah, it looks really good. And, like, the settings, like, there's one setting in, like, like a glass kind of room yeah towards the end they use animals in fights and things like that which i really enjoy there's there's a cycle there's a there's a sequence at the start like very at the very start which you say well i was gonna there's a there's a that's in the trailer

where he fights a guy with a book there's a sequence that is also in a trailer uh where he fights a whole bunch of dudes unarmed, except with knives. Yes. That sequence is really good. That's- When? It's right at the start. He doesn't have a gun. Yeah.

And it's just a bunch of dudes. Is that when he makes the gun? Yes. Okay, yeah. But then there's a lot of- Then he gets one bullet in, and then it's a lot of fist fighting. I really enjoyed that. Yep.

Following on from that, and there's a lot of knife throwing and et cetera. But following on from that- there's there's a lot of knife throwing on etc uh but following on from that it wears a bit thin there if you are in are you if you're in for if you're a big fan of people getting shot in the head and also people reloading guns like under pressure yes this is a movie for you yeah if you're a big fan of people in suits handing each other weird coins then you are in for a treat this is the movie for you you better believe it if you're in for

you're a fan of people calling in favours for things yep that had happened in previous times in their lives that you don't really remember

yeah maybe they happened in previous movies maybe they didn't but they've got a weird coin to prove it you better believe they've got a coin

yeah then you were in for a treat but there's this I'm gonna be honest i like so god no i was gonna i was gonna look i was gonna say that the the the action that this movie has is pretty spectacular but it does get a bit samey for me towards the end i found the end action sequence kind of one of the least compelling like visually interesting but i literally dozed off for a minute towards the end and look i had a rough night to fair. That wasn't necessarily the movie's fault. And these are spectacular. Like the fight scenes, the way that they're choreographed down to...

It's like an intricate dance, you know what I mean? Yeah, right. It's to be commended. The fights feel like UFC fights if the two opponents or multiple opponents actually wanted to murder each other and it goes for a really long time and it goes for yes yeah so look I'm probably gonna there's so many flips yeah there's so many flips and throws definitely like I'm sure we'll catch some grief for this but yeah I just think I think narratively I think the first one is the strongest because you you care about the reason he's more grounded in normalcy as well i think it might be

yeah is it two where things get really weird and it's all coins and all and hotels also yeah no there's hotels in the first one i believe but yeah i feel like the the fact that this is so far removed from the real world yeah that it loses some of the the immediacy or the relatability well in the first one like two guys or three guys just go into his house and just beat him with bats well in the first one like two guys or three guys just go into his house and just beat him with bats yeah and he doesn't get up but in this one like he's fallen off buildings and he gets hit by two cars in the span of like 10 seconds then he just gets up and runs away yeah it's a lot of him limping and running away yeah definitely yeah so it's the universe has definitely shifted but i think it's one of those things you just you just roll with it because i think the universe is

really intricate and interesting, but you can't really think about it too much. Because this underground New York is basically just New York. Because everybody seems to know everything and everyone. Yeah, right. And every homeless person is working for bloody, what's his name in secret? Lawrence Fishburne or whatever. You can hand a taxi driver a coin and he immediately knows who you are and where you're going and what your deal is.

You know what I mean? So, yeah, I think you just got to kind of let that go. All right. Yeah. And then just let the action sequences wash over you. Yeah. But that being said, there are some really good... Let's just do spoilers.

Okay, let's do spoilers. I liked it. I didn't love it. I also liked it and didn't love it. So what do we do? Best movie ever or worst movie ever? Well, I'm going to say, well, that tips over to best for me. Yeah, right. Yeah. If it's more... more i'm gonna say best movie ever just for the opening

couple of fight sequences yes and then again it's sort of it's sort of it's diminishing returns for me this movie i agree yeah i completely agree so yeah the martial arts are incredible obviously in the gunplay etc and so forth i really liked the inclusion of hallie berry and her attack dogs i thought that sequence was really spectacular but then again again, after that, it's just... I like dogs biting people on the balls. Yeah, I know, but then it's just like every action sequence with her in it apart, you know, it's just one long set of action sequence where it's like,

okay, well, now the dogs are going to bite the guys in the balls and then she's going to walk up and headshot them. Yeah. 50 times. Yes. Yeah, that's fair enough. What about this, though? I like it when he would make a horse kick a guy in the head.

That happened a couple of times, didn't it? Yeah. I enjoyed that a lot. It was good, yeah. Also, I'm watching the fight scenes with the horses there and I'm like, do they really have horses there? Because that's really dangerous. They're very dangerous.

Yeah. Right? Like you'd want those horses to be well-trained and I'm sure they were. Or not there at all for the most part. Or not there at all, exactly, yeah. Because you wouldn't really want to be kicked into a horse.'s true you know what i mean yeah yeah so there was that the book fight i liked that just him and one other giant guy at the start of the book fight what i enjoyed about i think the first couple of sequences is that we had to show that he's he's dangerous

without a gun yeah like i think that was clearly building to like well you take away his miraculous headshot ability what else does he have yeah absolutely the book give the book give the knife give the fist that dude with the when he broke his neck on that book i was like and you see the head kind of lol over yeah pretty good stuff uh the motorbike scene was good i saw somebody had posted a similar sequence from a different movie in the great mates group yeah right which was it seemed like it was done more for real, as in everybody on the motorbike was like passing the camera to each other to capture the action. Oh, wow.

Okay. Yeah. Yeah, right. So seeing that, I'm like, well, that's a better version of that. But that being said, it was still quite good. Pretty spectacular. And you know, if you get a guy on a horse riding down the street, shouldn't people in the head or whatever.

Nothing wrong with that, mate. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. You're so right. I enjoyed the setting of the last sequence as well that being in the hotel and the glass room and the and the weird rooms and whatever yeah right but it did just go on and on at that point to me it felt like a video game yeah it was like okay he's got to defeat the mini bosses and then then there's too many bosses two more and then he fights the real boss and some people will let go and some people he'll murder or whatever. Yeah, right.

Because I remember he let Ruby Rose go in the last one, didn't he? I think so. And he lets the twins go. Yeah. I assume they're twins. They're friends. They're friends. Okay.

I don't know. All right. He just lets them go and they go, cool, I guess you defeated us, even though we're hired killers and we'll do anything for those sweet gold coins. Because they were like, you're great, John Wick. And he's like, well, they're fans. Yeah, so I'll let them live. But he didn't let the other guy live.

Yeah, who was his biggest fan. Yeah. Who was also maybe older than him. It's tough to get a handle on that guy's character, I thought. Because initially he runs the Blowfish store. Yes. And he seemed like... The only reason I know about Blowfish is from the simpsons

yeah right that deadly blowfish that you gotta cut a certain way yeah so i got uh and then and he seemed like kind of he seemed like kind of very straight laced and very kind of business like yeah and then he's like dude i'm such a huge fan yeah yeah was that meant to be like he's secretly stoked to get to meet John Wick? Yeah, I would say so, yeah. All right. Yeah, and kill John Wick or whatever. Keanu Reeves is really good in this.

If you know, there's been a big Keanu Reeves renaissance and love. There has, yeah. Which is really good. Reeves renaissance. Yes. A lot of like stories coming out of people being able to be a super nice guy or whatever. Yeah. Do you think at some point we need to cut those off?

Like, because the more he talks the more he's gonna say something bad you know what i mean i don't think i don't think he will yeah but the more he talks he's gonna be like something's gonna tip him over the edge and people are gonna be like he's cancelled now yeah i hope not yeah because he seems like a genuinely good dude yeah do you think he'll do more matrix movies when they're're rebooting it. I reckon he will. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, I mean, I guess I'd like to see him as not an action guy, though. Give us some different action characters to be action-packed. Okay.

And make him, like, one with the Matrix now or whatever. Nah, boo. Get him to do some kicks. All right, get him to do some kicks. You can't have him in and not have him do some kicks. All right, he can do one kick. Yeah. But it's going to be a hell of a kick.

You better believe it is, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So the hotel setting was good at the end, but like I said, it kind of went on and on a bit. When he was betrayed at the end in the weird room that was outside of the hotel. That had a fireplace in it.

It was a fireplace or whatever. That's good. I like that. Do you think that betrayal wasn't really a betrayal and it was a saving John Wick situation? But that's the thing. At that point, I'm like, well, he's got the adjudicator because we've got the adjudicator.

I'm indifferent. Why does nobody shoot the adjudicator? Good question. Also, how many dudes do you think John Wick would have to shoot before he's- People stop sending people after him to shoot. How many could there possibly be? How many of these weird- Half of New York. how many of these weird half of new york how many how many of these weird yeah that's have they killed all the regular people in new york is that why yeah but how many of these everybody's got a

tattoo killers are there everyone knows each other a blood death yeah and like let's say i went to a weird underground ballet let's say he killed 5,000 of them. Would that be it? I wonder. I think he has to go and kill the high table and then the guy above the high table who looks younger than John Wick. Yeah, right.

I don't know. Probably his dad was the main guy. Yeah, he probably was. Because I saw that guy, I'm like, this is the guy? Like, the main guy? See, that's the thing. I thought this movie was a lot of, like,

wandering around to exotic locales and then back, and then it ends exactly like the start of it where he's just on the street running away and everybody's out to kill him again. But now the Rat King is angry because he got seven cuts and so now it's going to be the underground versus the high table. Oh, the high table, right. It's a metaphor for society or whatever.

Is it? Yeah. Cool. You think that's cool? That's cool. Yeah, I'm glad you think it's cool black mirror in a way yeah okay but anyway so so this isn't black mirror everyone's on a weird old timey phone around each other notes and that's true everybody's got not even a flip phone but a slide phone yeah

exactly wow that's a matrix callback right it must be yeah yeah um he needs lots of guns he doesn't yeah exactly matrix yeah no again it's the matrix just the first one just the first matrix uh he gets shot off the roof yeah but surely the adjudicator would know that he has he's wearing a bulletproof suit well they've all got bulletproof suits on and then he just he just falls off the roof and it's like why would there be even a moment's hesitation on the behalf of that adjudicator you'd be like well you didn't shoot him in the head yeah and he didn't splatter. Yeah.

So he's probably still alive. Let's go down and shoot him more. Yes. To make sure. But instead she's like, he's gone. He's gone though. Where did he go? We didn't get shot in the head.

So he's still alive. Yep. I mean, he would have broken a lot of his bones. Yeah. So I guess the next one won't be set directly after. I hope it will be. Because he's still wearing. I hope it's set. I hope the next one won't be set directly after. I hope it will be. Because he's still wearing... I hope it's set.

I hope the next one is the Lawrence Fishburne, Keanu Reeves team-up we've been wanting again and it's Lawrence Fishburne pushing him around in that cart and he's just a bag of bones.

But he's still shooting. He's got one working arm that's sort of flapping around. He's firing. I think, yeah, because he's still bearing the injuries

from like the very first John Wick. Because these take place Over like a week Yeah whatever Or four weeks Or whatever it is Yeah

So yeah It's good I think if you like action It's the best kind of action Yeah right But it does Wear thin What could

What could be done To break it up a little bit I think you bring in Some more Interesting Character actors Right As some higher ups

Because when they're like this guy's the head of the organization i'm like who the fuck is this guy i thought they were gonna be like it's james woods not james woods obviously it's anyone but james woods yeah i don't know i just think it's james spader yeah i'll take that yeah so you don't you know what i'm saying like make the big bad somebody you're like oh that person i know as an actor and also as a good villain in this it's the dog from the first movie he's not dead dog wick dog wick is back well did he's the head of the table i can't remember i don't think he did well it doesn't matter because in this in this movie apparently you can get shot off a building and

fall many stories and live yes you can be cut to pieces by an assassin with a sword seven cuts and you're still alive. Yeah. So it ultimately doesn't matter. Dogwood could still be alive. But I mean, like action sequence wise, what would make it... I mean, maybe I'm in the minority. Maybe people are like, oh my God, it's so good how he headshot all these people. And then at the end of the movie, he headshot all these other people.

Yeah. I don't know. No. No? I don't... No. Maybe we're in the minority. No, I'm saying, yeah, we probably are.

I mean, most people that we've written in are like, they loved it and whatever. So. Maybe we're in the minority. No, I'm saying, yeah, we probably are. I mean, most people who we've written in are like, they loved it and whatever. So we're probably definitely in the minority. But how can you break up the action sequences if they're not all that, I wonder? I think maybe you do have some character moments then. Like, I think you need to flesh out some other people. Yeah, there were a lot of people making very, like,

there was a lot of adjudicated, making very, you know, bold statements to no one. There was very little. It's a lot of characters saying sort of seemingly profound things to one another or like witty and profound things. Yeah. And then other people saying witty and profound things back. It doesn't really.

It never really feels like there's any human interaction happening. I also don't. Like in a movie with more realistic characters that adjudicate would come in and say something witty and profound and people be like why do you talk like that no one in the world talks like that and i guess again it's part of that after new york talks it's a surreal universe kind of thing but i don't know it didn't it felt it felt it feels hard to connect felt for me hard to connect to these these characters just because they don't feel, like, real. Like, it's like if they all died, it wouldn't affect our lives at all.

No. Like, the real people of New York. Yeah, if there are any. If there are any left. If these people all died, nothing would change. No. It's not like they're holding the key to New York. It's not like if they died, the city would be overrun with crime and zombies and murderers.

It's just, they're just killing each other seemingly. Yeah, yeah. So they didn't feel like any stakes or any... I guess the thing is because you care about John Wick. But do you care about John Wick? Yeah. I kind of do. Yeah, I do.

I like him. But all he's got now is a dog and the memory of his dead wife. Yeah. You know? Which again, as illustrated, he will have until he dies. Yes. So then what? Nothing.

Yeah, right? Doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Do you think he'd be- So if there were more normal, relatable characters, I'd be like, well, I do care a little bit. Yeah. Also, the penguin from Gotham is in this. Yes, he is in this yes he is yeah whatever that guy's name is yeah isn't that weird 1950s everybody's got a tattoo room switchboard yeah the tattoo switchboard yeah yeah i i mean they're doing a tv

show they might connect atomic blonde as well well that's because they're both the same directors all right so yeah but this isn. This isn't over, Mason. It ain't over. Oh, absolutely. It's not over. How many do you think they're going to do? You think they're going to do four, five, six? Five.

You think they're going to do five? Yep. Yeah. But I think it might be diminishing returns in terms of... Yeah. I mean, as far as action movies go, it is the benchmark. Yeah. In terms of pure action.

There's no denying that those sequences are... They're also hard to talk about. Very impressive. Because I no denying that those sequences are very impressive. Because I'm not a choreographer by any stretch. We can barely even say that word. They were good. Like he made a horse kick a guy and he was on a motorbike and he shot a guy in the head or whatever. But beyond that, if you're going for that,

then yeah, you're going to be okay. You're going to be all right. And it's not like unbearable Transformers jagged metal rolling. No, you always know what's happening. You always know what's going on at any given moment. You're always like, okay, well, he's fighting the two guys and we flip one guy over there and there's the other guy over there and you know exactly where they're going to come from.

And you can sort of go, okay, well, he's obviously going to keep this guy at bay and then he's going to shoot this guy. And then, you know, you always know what's happening. But it's more like, do you care after the 50th time he's done it yeah absolutely and now it's time for yes is it yes what we reading what we gonna gonna read i'm doing the thing what are we reading today well i'm gonna watch every episode of season eight of game of thrones tomorrow hooray so that's gonna be exciting are you looking going to watch every episode of Season 8 of Game of Thrones tomorrow. Hooray! So that's going to be exciting.

Are you looking forward to it? Yeah, kind of. Have you had the spoilers for you? I think some of it has been spoiled for me. You've already had the spoilers. Yeah, I've had the spoilers. You better believe I've had the spoilers. But again, like, the one thing that Game of Thrones has got going for it is it looks real

good. Yeah. It looks nice. The one thing. The one thing it's got going. Yeah. Also, given that, you know, a lot of reactions of it has been mixed to negative, I might really enjoy this.

I think you'll be okay because you don't care also. Yeah, for sure. So I think you'll be like, it was good. Yeah. And since a lot of the time I only have vague remembrances of the characters and what they're like. You're not going to watch the 20-minute recap on top of the 15 hours you have to watch?

Maybe I'll watch the recap. Yeah. Also, I'm behind on this. Everybody else caught up on this everybody else caught up on this weeks ago but i just started watching i think you should leave on netflix which is the uh the tim robinson sketch show it's quite surreal it's very funny tim robbins tim robinson he's a new guy i don't know i don't know what his deal is but it's it's a is it like spaced no it's it's um it's unrelated sketches like big horse? I'll give you an example.

Big Horse, was that show? No. I don't know what Big Horse is. BoJack Horseman. Are you thinking of BoJack Horseman? It's a bit Tim and Eric kind of situation. I've never really seen Tim and Eric. It's got more structure than that, although I think.

But it's just kind of like it's bizarre scenarios taken too far. Well, I'm reading, Mason. There's a series called TIE Fighter on Comixology. Oh, yes. It's about an Imperial TIE Fighter squadron. It's from their perspective. And they have to take down a rogue Imperial sect. Yes.

And so instead of killing rebels, so you're like, these guys are no good. Oh, it's Imperial versus Imperial. Yeah. But who's the bad guy? Well, they all are. Yeah, right. So do I care? No, I think they're good because the characters are good and whatever.

Also, I think I'm going to watch John Wick 1 and 2 again well I nearly did before the new one I'm kind of glad I didn't because I think it would have been too much you think it would have been a chore

if I'd have watched 6 hours I would have been like I can't watch that guy shoot people in the head but at the same time I'm like I kind of want to watch them just to be like

how did the world evolve okay sure because I it feels like this one took an insane jump yeah in terms of switching from more or less the real world to a crazy world. But maybe it didn't.

Maybe it was the smoother transition than I remember. I think it is. But maybe it isn't. Ooh. Yeah. Ooh. Insane jumps. Anything else you're reading?

Freeze. I read a bit more of The Freeze. You know that? What's The Freeze? It's a dude. And everybody's just doing their work and being in the world. And then there's a freeze and everybody freezes. But one dude doesn't freeze.

Right. And whenever he touches somebody, they unfreeze. Okay. And he's the only person in the world that can do that. And when he touches them again, do they refreeze? No. Huh. So he unfreezes people.

But then it's kind of like, well, we can't physically have you go around and unfreeze everybody. And I guess even if we did, it's been a few months. So there's the foods. We don't have food for everybody anymore. Also, it's a choice for him. It's like, who do you unfreeze? Right. Yeah.

What is this on? Comixology. Comixology, yeah. I can't remember if it's called The Freeze or Freeze. Right. But it's about freezing people. Okay. Whole world's frozen. But they're not reallyology. Comicology, yeah. I can't remember if it's called The Freeze or Freeze. Right. But it's about freezing people. Okay. Whole world's frozen.

But they're not really frozen. They're not cold. Yeah. They have been freezed. Yes. Yeah. Right. Are they decaying?

No. They're just frozen. They just freeze. Okay. They just freeze. Okay. Yeah. All right.

That's intriguing. Yeah. What's that? Image? I couldn't tell you. Dark Horse? Yeah. It sounds like one of those.

Sounds like Dark Horse. IDW. Let me check. Dynamite Comics. I don't think it's Dynamite. No, it wouldn't be of those. Sounds like Dark Horse. IDW. Let me check. Dynamite Comics. I don't think it's Dynamite Comics. It would be Dynamite. That's Image. Okay, there you go.

Yeah, but you're doing great stuff. And what's the secret for Freeze? I don't know. What's his secret? What is his secret? Could you cut off his fingers and then have him? Is he very warm? He could be.

But could you cut off his fingers and go around the world with him? Oh, yeah, go around the world with him. Yeah, good question. Will that be answered? It's a question for the Freeze to answer. Yeah, it's true. Or it's just called Freeze. Or it's just called Freeze, yeah, go around the world with them, yeah. Good question. Will that be answered? It's a question for the phrase to answer. Yeah, it's true. Or it's just called phrase. Or it's just called phrase, yeah.

You're absolutely right. I think that's just about it. Right. Then let's do the letters. Let's do the letters. I've got a letters theme. Still loading. The classic one was letters, oh letters, we love you.

Some letters, they're only a day away. I know they're here right now, we're going to do letters. I can hear the letters theme through the microphone. Incredible. Not true. Oh. If you want to reach the show, hashtag Weekly Planet Pod on Twitter, Facebook, Gmail, Bandcamp. Also, weeklyplanetpod at gmail.com if you want to send Mason a Gmail and let him know what you're talking about.

Put the subject in the heading. Yes. Keep it brief, would you say? Sure, yeah. Or whatever. Do whatever you want. Love your life. Succinct.

Would succinct be a better way to put it? Succinct and pithy. Do you think it's more likely that you'll read out a succinct one than one that's eight paragraphs? Correct, yes. Okay. Do you want to kick it off? Oh, yeah. Okay.

This is from Michael Dickin. We're dicking it off. Nice. Hey, yeah. Okay, this is from Michael Dickin. We're dicking it off. Nice. Hey, guys, I'm always surprised by how familiar you are with even the most obscure American entertainment. I think that's... It's because that's all we got. But I also think it's sometimes we get weird stuff.

Like what Americans consider obscure, we got it because... It was the main thing, like the show Now and Again. No, you're right. It was the main thing? Like the show Now and Again? No, you're right. It was the main thing for a while. What happens with when Australian network TV buys American TV is they're like, okay, we'll buy a big thing. We'll sell you the big thing, but you also have to get... You have to take some cheap crap that lasted one season or whatever.

Yeah. Or just something that didn't sell well here, but we're... We got Roswell. We got Roswell, exactly. I'm thinking mostly of the nanny. Yeah, okay, sure. That was on like five days a week in Australia for a while. It did not stop.

It didn't stop, but a lot of people in America don't know that exists. Really? So that's kind of, I think, yeah, I don't know. So it was mainstream here is what you're saying. Yeah, a lot of stuff that's obscure in America becomes mainstream here because that's all we had. I also started hunting down a lot of this stuff when it became available yeah right like when there was file sharing and you could get box sets of things like the nanny

like the nanny for example but like freaks and geeks like that didn't as far as i know that didn't air here it may have briefly yeah like channel nine at like three yeah exactly but only five episodes yeah right and out of order or whatever. Yeah, right. So that definitely helped. Yeah. Yeah. He goes on to say,

I can't think of more than a few Australian shows or movies that have become popular here in the United States. Fair enough. Can you recommend any Australian media that Americans have been missing out on? Also, do they ever make Australian versions of hit American shows? Rake. Oh, wait, other way around. Yeah, okay. Yeah. No. versions of hit american shows rake oh wait other way around yeah okay yeah no time oftentimes they

will uh if an australian show is popular they'll do an american version thank god you're here yeah or wilfred oh yeah which is about the the man who sees his dog as a person yes which got remade with elijah wood elijah wood in america for the same guy. No Activity is a show on Stan. Okay. Which is about some cops in a surveillance van. Okay. I did not know that one. And that's got an American remake.

Rake. Rake. Does that have an American remake? Yeah, Greg Kinnear was Rake. Was he? Is that a Richard Roxborough? How long did that last? One minute. One minute?

No, very short. Terrific. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. Can we recommend any Australian media that Americans have been missing out on? Rake. Rake.

We talked about this before the show, so we had something to talk about. Yeah, right. You mentioned Rosehaven. Yep, that's a good one. Which is a good comedy. Luke McGregor, who people... He's on that, yeah. And he's on a bunch...

You've probably heard him sneaking on a podcast. Yeah, for sure. And Celia Piccola as well. Oh, they did one with Claire, actually. There's a show... I don't know if Americans get it. it's an australian show called harrow but yoan griffin's in it oh yeah for some reason somebody watch that and let me know if it's any good what is it and is it good is it good uh if you want a kid's show bluey it's like this

i've talked about this it's like the australian peppa pig yeah uh as far as movies go though i like the movie noise oh yeah i Noise. That's from like 2006. It's about, again, it's a cop in a surveillance van of sorts. Right. Or an information van. They're not all cop dramas set in vans, all right? Some Australian movies are set in small suburban homes. That's right.

What I like about Australian movies... It's a low-key drug family. It's always a low-key drug family. Exactly. That's what a low-key drug family. Exactly. That's what Red Dog's about. But I think it's a movie like Noise where it's set in a... It's got a limited budget and it's set in a small area and they have to make the most of it with that script in mind.

Yes. And something like Noise totally works, yeah. One of my favourites is Two Hands. Yeah. It's Heath Ledger, Rose Byrne. It's from 1999. Well, I've talked about it before, but it's an era of Sydney and King's Cross,

which is past in a lot of ways. But Sydney, you know, there's still some shady areas, but it's this snapshot in time. I'm watching it now. It's like, this is a bizarre world. Yeah, absolutely. And it was pretty close to how things were because there were a lot of gangs that ran out of there or whatever.

I think it's Heath Ledger's first movie it's probably the first time he was really noticed i would say at least the same with roseburn but it's it's definitely worth a visit yeah yeah i don't know i think it's much easier now if you want to break through is to do youtube stuff yeah i was gonna say auntie donna if you don't know auntie donna already i imagine most people who listen to this have seen Auntie Donna before. A gunshot. Did you say the recent one? The most recent one, yeah. So Auntie Donna sketch group have a podcast on the Planet Broadcasting Network, which is great, and people should definitely check that out. I think it's getting weirder.

But also they have a bunch of sketches on YouTube, some of which are interconnected or unconnected rather, and sometimes they do a whole web series. So they've done 1999, set in an office in 1999. And most recently they're doing Glenridge Secondary College, which is set in a high school. A lot of people have related to this. There's a sketch that came out recently about the teacher keeping students out after class, which a lot of people are getting on board with. I've done that.

I'm watching that. I'm like, I did that exact thing. If you want to go back a little further, my favorite Auntie Donna sketch of all time is called Jambalam. so it's about an app uh people should go back and check that one out i think it's my favorite one of my uh more recent ones which i really liked i was i watched it again last night and i was just laughing to myself like claire's like what are you doing but it's it's them talking about the executives from subway and they're trying to create a sandwich which will make people forget that they hired a pedophile

as their spokesperson for 15 years. They're going through different varieties of sandwiches, which I think it's so funny. Because before this new series came out, they were doing like a sketch a week. They're like, we'll just do a low budget sketch. In the office. In the office.

And it's one of those, but I think it's so funny. Yeah. Anything else? That's all the Australian content. Get it on YouTube, man. Get it on YouTube for free. But they might be having some other bigger projects coming up. But then again, they may not because everything is in flux

constantly. It's on fire. I don't know if you know that. Hashtag Weekly Planet Pod. This is from Twitter and Leon. Is Nintendo making constantly what's on fire that's right i don't know if you know that uh hashtag weekly planet pod this is from twitter and leon is nintendo making a live action smash bros cinematic university oh because we've got a pikachu getting a pikachu we're getting a mario brothers yeah i hope so uh nintendo are weird so they may not they may not be doing this because they're very there's so many like i was going through the eShop and I'm like, there's so much stuff that you don't have on here,

which is just printing money. Like if they release like Mario 64, like, you know, just for example. You know what I mean? There's so many classic Nintendo games that they could put on there that they don't. I don't know what they're doing. Is this for Switch? Yeah, for Switch, yeah.

Does Switch have like an n64 emulator in it okay right nope so somebody would have to make that i guess well yeah or you can get it i guess you could just install one can't get one but like having like i actually what they did release and i've well they're releasing on the 21st and i've downloaded it is um resident evil 4 which i've beaten like multiple times all right but i'm like i'll take that portable i've loved that game it's really good. It's the best Resident Evil. If somebody doesn't use that as a promotional material,

I'll take that portable. I love that game. So, but no, do you think they're making a Smash Bros. cinematic at your university? No. Because? Well, because you'd have to, because Pikachu is an animated character in a real world. Yep.

So in order to put Mario, of the Mario Brothers. Yep. I'm going to say it like that from this point forward. You're allowed to. I'm allowed. They would have to make a cartoon Mario. Yes. But where does he live?

Well, the dimensions, you know. Oh, dimensions. Remember, dimensions are hot at the moment. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah, no, I guess they're hot. You merge a dimension. I guess you could merge a dimension, yeah. I mean, because even in the games,

Link doesn't live in the same universe as Kirby, presumably. Yeah, right. Sorry, Zelda. Thank you. The guy with the green hat. Yeah, exactly. You're thinking of Zelda. Yeah.

I don't know. I guess they could. I mean, there's no... What's the plot of the Smash Brothers? They smash each other. They smash each other. Okay, cool. And they're brothers.

Oh. That could work. I played that recently with somebody. I hadn't really played it since maybe the 64. Yeah, right. And I just couldn't do it. Too frenetic? Yeah.

Yeah, because there's a rhythm to it which I... You've lost your edge. Yeah. Well, I never really was that good at it anyway, so I'd have to buy it and kind of sink a lot of time into it. And I won't. Okay. Yeah.

So I was always under the impression... Release a Star Fox. They should release Star... There was a Star Fox on the Wii U. Yeah. But you had to use the tablet as well, and it was horrible. But if you fix those controls

and you just put them into the Switch, it would probably be good. Yeah. Are you talking about a modern day... I don't want the bloody knockoff one they made where Fox McCloud is a playable character, Starlink or whatever. I don't want that.

Yes. I want an actual Star Fox game. Yeah, right. Yeah. Mario. Is there a Star Wing here? The first one they did at least, yeah. Yeah.

It was good. I remember that. It was good. Remember that Mode 7? So much so. You remember the Mode 7? I recently watched- Hey guys, just what?

What? You're in Mode 7 right now. Black Mirror. No wonder you look like shit gotcha what i recently they recently on that when they released the super nintendo mini they put on star fox 2 the unreleased version because they made it and then it was kind of going to coincide roughly within the 64 was releasing so they went oh this ain't good so they they scrapped it. They've just released a Neo Geo mini. Have you seen that?

Oh, really? Yeah. I'm thinking about it. You won't get it. No. You don't have the guts. Well, I won't because like- You could just download the game.

I guess I could. But also there's like five Metal Slug games on there. Do I need five Metal Slug games? Do you not? No. Yeah, it's interesting. But they didn't have Ninja Combat on there. Oh.

It's the one I wanted. You get a call from like a number. Like, look at that number. It could be anybody. It could be anybody. It could be anybody. Delete and deny. Yep.

I bet it's a bill. They're like, you haven't paid this bill. Yep. But. Not gonna. Also, maybe I did. Maybe you did. Maybe they're harassing you for no reason.

Yeah, so I think they could. They could. But again, Nintendo are weird and they're really protective of their property. So maybe not. And also they don't care what people seem to ask for. That's true. They just do their own thing. Which I admire also.

I think that's good. They recently... Because people don't know what they do or do not want ultimately. Yeah, that's not incorrect. But sometimes they get a big enough petition together. They know what's up. But they recently restarted work on Metroid. Like they made an announcement.

They were like, we were doing it and we're not happy with it. So we're scrapping and we're starting again. Just to let you know it's going to be like another two years at least. Because, yeah, I admire that. It's good. Also, like, I feel like, you know, your Metroids, your Marios, et cetera, you're just sort of trading on nostalgia. Why don't you let Nintendo just do a new thing?

Maybe you'll enjoy that. Maybe you'll love Splatoon. People do love Splatoon. Was that a Nintendo? Yeah, especially too. Well, there you go. My brother loves it, the one you don't like, but he loves it, and he loves you.

That was him on the phone. Wow. Because I didn't pay his bills. Yeah, and I don't have his name on the phone wow because i didn't pay his bills yeah and i don't have his number his name on my phone so right there you go i got another tweet here though from sam robinson hashtag weekly planet pod if you could go back in time and show your younger comic book 11 self one modern comic book movie which would it be oh would it be the avengers for you oh that's a good question like because you got to think about kid you as well you wouldn't be like here's the dark knight rises

no absolutely not no it'll be it'll be a colorful one it'd be a marvel one it might be avengers it might be iron man one because as a kid i wrote that iron man was my favorite character even as like eight you think you could yeah you'd be okay with it yeah all right i think so um that's true because it would have been better than anything then. Yeah, and I think it would have been like, I could have been like, listen, it's going to get tough out there. You're going to see some terrible ones. Blade 2 is okay. But hold out till 2008 and you're going to get exactly what you wanted.

Yeah, well, that's true. Don't think Batman Begins? No, too grim for a kid. Way too grim. You like Batman Begins though, don't you? Yeah, but I don't think Batman Begins? No. Too grim for a kid. Way too grim. You like Batman Begins though, don't you? Yeah. But I don't think Kid... I think Kid Me would probably like it.

Yeah. Well, you like Batman 89, so I'd imagine you'd like Batman Begins. Yeah, right. Yeah. I think I'd probably go First Avengers. I think a kid in the 90s would love Justice League. Oh, no. I don't think they would.

No, actually, I think they would, but that's only because they didn't know there was something better. That's what I'm saying. So you were planning on pranking your childhood self, is what you're saying. Yeah. I think Avengers would also be good because you don't really need it, the context of the rest of the-

No, you don't. The previous movies because it's set up well enough that you go, okay, well, I know all the players and I know the bad guys and here it is. You could drop in X-Men 2000 from the 2000. You could take that to your 1995 self.

Listen, you could wait five years or what about right now? That's right, 20 bucks. I'm short on money in this scenario. Give me 20 bucks What's What's this This paper note From the 90s

We had paper money Didn't we Mason Now we can swim With our money Is that why they invented it Yeah Because we're such a Surf going country

Aren't we just Yeah And yeah I'm trying to think of Like a weirder one You could maybe drop in Deadpool Yeah

I don't think Yeah maybe If I't think Yeah, maybe If I was like 12, 13 Look, if we can wait a week I might be sending Brightburn back to my childhood self Being like, they're all like this now Or like What's the one where Rainn Wilson's like, shut up crime

Super Super, I mean that one Or Defendor One of the ones that's like a grim mediation on society Super. Super. I mean, that one. Or Defendor. One of the ones that's like a grim mediation on society. Yeah, kick-ass too. Yeah, and it's just, this is what they're all like now. Yeah.

We threw all the heroes you loved in the bin, and now it's just this guy beating up a regular man with a length of lead pipe or a wrench or something, yeah. Let's prank our childhood selves. I probably would. Do you think we'd end up worse? Yeah. Or the same? It'd be interesting to...

See, I think Man of Steel would nearly be a good one. Yeah. Until it isn't. I think to a point, that's a good movie. Yeah. I wonder about that because I feel like, at the very least least the structure of all the movies from the 90s was very predictable. Yeah. In a way of like, this person gets the powers, but what are they going to do?

Yeah. And it turns out at the end they're a hero. But like Man of Steel is almost like that. Yeah. Except it's, well, he's got all these powers. What's he going to do? Well, immediately he saves the life of all the people on the oil rig. Yes.

So you know he's going to be a hero. Okay be a hero okay straight away so it takes all the dramatic tension out of and of course you know he's superman yeah i mean what's he what's he gonna do but is he gonna do what is he gonna do but it's like that that's that's the weird structure of man of steel is it's like well we already know he's gonna be a hero so at the end when he puts the we know he's gonna be a yeah i know he's gonna be superman you know it'd be a good one what's that homecoming would be a good one that would be a good one? What's that? Homecoming would be a good one. That would be a good one. I think that'd be...

Because I think it's also... Because you'd be like, I'm familiar with this stellar universe from like Ferris Bueller or whatever because it's not dissimilar. Yeah, right. Uh-huh.

Or, but it might be a bit much into the Spider-Verse. Oh, that'd be way too much. Yeah. They're all like this. Yeah. Ah! 20 bucks.

In fact, the whole world's like this now. Like we are. Like we are. Yeah. The only homecoming, the only reason I would not maybe send back homecoming is because there's a lot of detail from the previous movies that I don't think is really adequately explained. Like Iron Man?

Why is he friends with Iron Man? I think that's like picking up an issue, though. I don't think is really adequately explained. Like Iron Man. Like why is he friends with Iron Man. I think that's like picking up an issue though. I guess that's probably true yeah. Like Andy's friends with Iron Man. Yeah right. Whatever yeah. But also. But also like where is all.

Where all the weapons come from. Yep. Like where all the vultures weapons come from. Stuff like that yeah. Because it does open with like. The end of the Chitauri invasion. Yeah right. Yeah.

So but again I guess it is kind of like. Opening up any random issue of whatever but as like a standalone movie yeah i think you're probably right i like dr strange you would i do good thank you is that the show i think that's the whole show good yes why don't you head on over to nickmason.com slash dickhead and he'll finish off the show for us i'm gonna do that right now and see what it is it It'll be the drummer from Pink Floyd. It's always the drummer from Pink Floyd. Guys, thank you everybody for listening. Yeah.
