This episode is brought to you by HelloFresh and Movement Watches. Oh my god. And sunglasses. It's a double adder. I love it. Red hot comic book movie news. Shooting up your butt hole. The Weekly Planet.

The Weekly Planet. We should change that theme song. Every time I hear it, I'm like, it's so rude. It's a bit rude, isn't it? I mean, it's a show sometimes for rude boys. That's true. And girls. Some episodes are ruder than others.

That's certainly true. Maybe we should pivot to being more rude. Just lean into it. Yeah. That's probably right, yeah. Or we do like a bonus episode a month. Just rude stuff. Yeah, the Weekly Planet Rude Edition.

I love it. Yeah. Anyways, welcome back to this episode of the Weekly Planet, a show where we talk movies and comics and TV shows. Clean edition. Clean edition. No rude stuff here. My name is James, also known as Mr. Sunday.

With me as always is my co-host, Nick Mason. And then we have to challenge ourselves we can only say rude stuff in the rude episode you know what i mean yeah that's right yeah this theme song is your fault though as well i i wouldn't i would not begrudge gabriel tice bruton who put the theme together bruce but it was your initial you said red hot comic book movie news shooting up your butthole that's what you said yeah yeah and i've not had to live with the consequences of that ever again because I don't hear the theme song because you put it in in silence

and I also don't listen back to the episodes or edit that in. So I've never had to. But now because I'm hearing it every week before the show because I'm putting them in on the fly. It's getting in your brain? I just don't. Yeah. Okay.

Well, how about this? We develop a clean version, like a new clean theme, and then that is just transferred to the Root Edition. So you know you're going to get some rude stuff when the Root Edition music plays. You know what I mean? Good point. And it goes red hot comic book movie news,

shooting up your butthole, the Weekly Planet, the Weekly Planet, big fart noise, bong rip noise. Then we know it's rude. We know it's rude, yeah. Anyways, Mason, you're on a podcast this week, I believe, a podcast I couldn't make. The Weekly Planet Clean Edition. No, the other thing. Oh, but also I was. We know it's rude, yeah. Anyways, Mason, you're on a podcast this week, I believe. A podcast I couldn't make. The Weekly Planet Clean Edition. No, the other thing.

Oh, but also, I was on Josh Earle's podcast, Don't You Know Who I Am? Yes. Where we tell delightful stories about our lives. It was myself and comedians Lauren Bonner, Carla Willis, and Tim Clark, good friend of mine. What a crew! Very funny crew, extremely funny crew. You should listen to that.

It's at planetbroadcasting.com or on Spotify, wherever you get it. Also, Josh Earle, if you're in Melbourne, Josh Earle is doing... Josh Earle, if you're listening and you're in Melbourne... Then you, Josh, are doing a series of live Don't You Know Who I Am's, The Catfish in Fitzroy. Oh, terrific. Sundays at 3pm November 3rd to December 15th. Tickets at joshearle.com.au.

I'd recommend going to those for a number of reasons. One, the catfish has great cheesesteaks and great mozzarella sticks. Right. And also because if you go to a live Don't You Know Who I Am, there's always a story that has to be cut out for legal reasons. Yes. It's always somebody's getting paid out, like probably a big name that nobody likes in real life,

and Josh will probably get sued if the story gets out there. So he always has to cut it out. Yes. But if you're there live, you know that story. And it's always Hughsy. It's always Hughsy. Apparently he's very nice, isn't he? Yeah, I've met him a couple of times.

Yeah, there you go. Anyway, let's move on with the show. If you want to skip to a certain thing, there's time codes or whatever. If you want to jump straight to Gemini Man or jump over Gemini Man, it's probably more likely that's below. If you just want to just drink in the glory that is Gemini Man. Come along. Anyway, the Suicide Squad, it started filming,

and there's been some on-set photos that have made their way online by just Jared, that website. You've seen him. There's always getting photos of stuff. I remember just Jared from back in the day, but apparently it's still around. Yeah. Is Perez Hilton still around?

He's still doing it. Okay. Probably starting feuds with Will.i.am or whatever he used to do. Drawing dicks on their faces? Yeah, and then Will.i.am's security guard punched him or something, and then he went on Twitter and told people to call the police or something. Oh, okay.

This is an old-school drama. It's an old-school drama, yeah. Look, this is one of those things I probably have to cut the police or something. Oh, okay. This is an old school drama. It's an old school drama. All right. Yeah, nice. Look, this is one of those things I probably have to cut out for legal reasons. Well, I was going to say he should have saved it for Perez Hilton Root Edition. Yes, that's right. Yeah. Anyway.

There should have been Perez Hilton Clean Edition, which is just like, this celebrity went down to the shops and nothing untoward happened. Everything's nice. Everyone was nice. Yeah. Anyway, but we had a scoop a few weeks back. A few wheeze back. A few wheeze back, yeah. Dozens of wheeze.

We measure our podcast by the number of wheeze we've done. But when we talked about some casting rumours concerning the Suicide Squad, it turns out that that thing that we just took a complete punt at, somebody who sent it anonymously. Seems to be mostly accurate. Seems to be mostly true. We don't know at this point if Idris Elba is vigilante

because he's not in those leaked photos. Yes. But we do know that, who do we have there? Arm fall off boy. Nathan Fillion is arm fall off boy, which I didn't, maybe we didn't bring across

like the full gravity of that. Like it didn't sink in when I, but that's it. What an insane character choice. Of course they're going to do that. They've got Weasel there as well. Sean Gunn is Weasel. Yeah, what's what I. Sorry, I tried to skip over it again. I they're going to do that. They've got Weasel there as well. Sean Gunn is Weasel. Yeah, what's what I...

Sorry, I tried to skip over it again. I didn't mean to. But I think like, because that, what I think is interesting about that character is that he is, in the comic books, he's a member of the Legion of Superheroes from the 31st century, which makes me wonder, is that part of his backstory in this? And if it is, is it true? Like, is he a member of the legion you know a thousand years in the future or is he an insane man well what about this guy is real i wonder well how long do you think

he's gonna live how long do you think any of these guys these were they're javelin in there who's playing javelin some guy i can't remember some guy pete davidson maybe no pete davidson's the other guy okay the other guy yeah i know we read out the list but i can't remember who's who sean gunn looks like he is weasel because he's in a mocap suit that was one of the things that No, Pete Davison's the other guy. The other guy, yeah. I know we read out the list, but I can't remember who's who. Sean Gunn looks like he is Weasel because he's in a mocap suit. That was one of the things that was mentioned as well. Captain Boomerang's there. It looks like a blend of the comic book and the last one.

He's a bit cleaned up. He's got the boomerangs on the chest. Yeah, right. So you can tell he's Captain Boomerang. Nice. And this one, I'd imagine Captain Boomerang's probably going to live through the first bit. One of those people is going to live through, right? Yeah, right. I feel like that's the disposable team.

Yeah, but I feel like Nathan Fillion also would take a job from James Gunn that's like, you're in this for two minutes. Yeah, that's what he did for Guardians. Yeah, right. Yeah, you're a weird CGI monster and Groot puts his fingers up your nose or whatever. That's what happens to him in that movie. That's right.

Yeah. There's also Mongul. Again, I don't know what's going on there. Lady Mongul. Lady Mongul, yeah. Anyway know what's going on there. Lady Mongol. Lady Mongol, yeah. Anyway, it's interesting. The costumes are very, they look kind of CW-esque. They do, yeah, which makes me think.

But again, set photos don't reflect. Once you add CGI and lighting and et cetera. It's like the red tornado from Supergirl. That turned out really good in the end, didn't it? Did it? That was a bad one. Okay, nice. Sometimes they're bad.

Okay, so we've got here. Yeah, so we've got Sean Gunweasel. Fluleborg is Javelin. Michael Rooker-Savant-Mailing is Mongol. Pete Davison is Blackguard. Okay. It's that way. Okay.

I have no idea who that is. Generic army guy, it looks like. Great. Let's look up Blackguard. No. Oh, what? All that is. Generic army guy, it looks like. Great. Let's look up Blackguard. No. Oh, what? All right, we'll look it up. Heads up.

His real name is Richard Hertz, so that's pretty good. H-U-R-T-Z? H-E-R-T-Z. Yeah, like the rental car company. Yeah, right. Okay. Recruited by the 1000. I don't know who that is.

And given powers. Okay, it looks like he's a booster gold villain, so he's going to die pretty soon. Blackguard's armor allows him to generate a mason shield out of pure energy. I don't think it's this version of Blackguard. No, you never know. Yeah, maybe. So he's got Green Lantern-esque or more. Seems to be, yeah.

Well, he's probably got booster gold equivalent technology powers, I'd imagine. He is. Great. That means, I guess, booster gold's in this universe, I guess. But then again, sometimesoster Gold's in this universe, I guess. But then again, sometimes they have villains in the universe minus the superheroes. The superheroes, yeah.

Anyway, we'll talk more about that in the latest. I mean, we're getting a version of Mongol that is apparently, you know, who can, you know, tangle with Superman in the DC comics, whereas in this she is on just the Suicide Squad team. Sometimes they've got, like, a super-powered crazy one or whatever. Anyway, Mason, trailers ahoy, because we've got three super hot, piping hot, hot trailers. Watch out for those rocks.

Watch out for these hits, Mason. Oh, yeah, okay. Jungle Cruise, coming out mid-next year. The Rock and Emily Blunt. Looks like the mummy. Yeah, it really does. It's got the scene in the library. Yep. A bit of an action sequence in a library. Swashbuckling the mummy. Yeah, it really does. It's got the scene in the library. Yep.

A bit of an action sequence in a library. Swashbuckling cargo pants. Yep, that's right. It's The Rock in a- Tan jackets. Tan jackets. He's in a beige outfit. They've really squeezed him into that boat captain outfit, haven't they?

No, they have. This was supposed to be- I remember there was rumors or casting stories years back that this was going to be Tim Allen and Tom Hanks. Okay. It was probably like five or six years ago. I think it was just those two. Well, it'd be Tom Hanks would be the librarian.

I'd assume so. And then Tim Allen would be the... But what if they weren't, though? Oh, my God. What if they were both a librarian? Oh, my God. And they're kissed. And the tugboat is animated.

Yeah, that's right. And homophobic. Early days Disney. Get out of of here get off my poop deck so uh this this really isn't for me this but it looks like a fun kind of so is this based on a ride is there a disney jungle or like a it might even be like a whole area of disney i'm not like i'm not the guy i'm not the theme park guy but But I think it's one of the biggest sets ever constructed. Do you remember that video? They were like, check out how big this set is. And then the drone pulls out and it's like this.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like a thousand feet across or whatever it is. Maybe. It's enormous. It's enormous, Mason. Goodness. Is it Jai-normous? No.

Okay. I would never. Is Jai Courtney-normous? How big is he these days? Well, that's my measure of Jai Courtney's star power. Oh, okay. It's bigger than Jai Courtney's star power. Okay, okay. It's bigger than Jai Courtney's star power. Okay, cool.

Yeah. I like him. Me too. But he's no The Jungle Cruise movie. Oh, that's true. Yeah. So I'd imagine this could be like a Jumanji-esque kind of hit. Yeah.

I can see this doing well. Well, that's what he's leaning into. I think maybe The Rock's future is just they put him on a boat in a tan shirt and they sail him down a river and they just film what happens. And then they cut it into several movies. And Fast and Furious spinoffs. Though he might be coming back for the next one, it seems. He might have squished his beef.

Oh, wow. As they say. That's absolutely what they say. That's what Previus Elton would be like. We've got exclusive video of The Rock squishing his beef. That's what Pro Wrestling would be like We've got exclusive video of The Rock squishing his beef He's the kind of guy And it was the same with Arnold

Where you cannot believe the size of him Like he's a tugboat captain And he works out seven hours a day And he eats 14 chickens a day But also I feel like back in the day There would just be an enormous man In every generation there's one enormous man. Yeah, you're right.

He's probably not going to be shirt off The Rock in this. So he's just an enormous man who's big, but maybe you don't know how ripped he is. Yeah, but we recently did, I don't think it's out yet, but we recently did a Caravan of Garbage where we watched a movie with a much younger The Rock. And he significantly- Which, by the way, we have to delay.

Oh, do we? It's Doom. Doom got delayed. Oh, The Rock, yeah. And he's significantly better. Which, by the way, we have to delay. Oh, do we? It's Doom. Doom got delayed. Oh, the release got delayed. Did you know Cyberpunk 2077 isn't coming out until next year? Yeah, it's next year, yeah. That's the only thing you want in the world. It's April 2020 or something like that.

It's the only thing you want in the world. I know, it looks great. Yeah. It looks good. So anyway, The Rock in that, yeah, he looks quite different yeah size wise and hair wise yeah like

Carl Urban seems physically a match for him sometimes at certain angles yes that's right and certain abilities that you have bestowed in that

it's a bad movie it's a terrible movie it's one of the worst it's way worse than I remember it being I was really looking forward to just pushing that out in the universe and never thinking about it

yeah but now I'm going to have to hang on to that for six months. It's going to sit in your, like your My Files on your computer every time you turn your computer on

you'll be like, just take it up space. You know sometimes you've got a checklist and you're like, oh I'm so overwhelmed by all this stuff I've got to check off.

You've just got to be like, oh can't I just release it and then I can check it off? I've got to cash in on that SEO. I can't release it yet. That's right. Yeah.

Anyway, another trailer for Pixar's My Dad Is Just Legs and We're Elves or something. Yeah, right. Yeah, a little bit Weekend at Bernie's. What's this one called again? Onward. My Dad Is Just Legs. My Dad Is Just Legs.

And We're Elves or something. On an Adventure. Yeah. So Onward. Do you say Onward? Onward, I do say Onward, yes. Chris Pratt. Yep.

Tom Holland. Tom Holland. Tom Holland. Some legs. It's probably Bryan Cranston is the voice of the legs. Do you think it's Bryan Cranston? When he gets the rest of the body. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I don't know.

It'll be somebody like that. Yeah, Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Yeah. She's 60. There you go. Amazing. Amazing. She's crushing it.

I've got to finish Veep. I'm like halfway through the first season. It's a good show. Yeah, I know, I know. I know Mason. Add it to your list. Anyway, she's in my, yeah. Upload the Doom video and watch Veep. So my dad's just legs.

I saw the first trailer for this and I'm like, okay, so it's bright but animated. Yeah. But this is like, okay, of course there's a wrinkle in this. I should have realised that. Yeah, it's in the dad slacks. The dad slacks. Because these Pixar movies, they're heart-wrenching and about family

and twist on things and whatever. And what if you could see your dad for one more day? And he's just legs. He's just legs. Do you think they're going to get the rest of him back? Oh, yeah. And he's like, my legs! I'm not attached!

You've built me separately from me legs. Oh, you think the magic will bring him back in two pieces. Yes, that's right. Okay. And his guts will try and join together in the middle. He just bleeds out. Yeah. Good to see you, Dad.

Yeah. Anyway, back to hell for you. That's where you were. You were in hell. Okay, bye. So you noticed because you watched the trailer just before this, celebrities, you said celebrities are doing trailer reactions now because you saw Tom Holland.

What's the other one? Chris Pratt? What's the other one? The other one. How do you feel about – well, they've worked together before, haven't they? Star-Lord had him in a headlock with a gun to his head. Well, he had a stagehand. No, I think it was him.

Okay. Yeah, I'm still very much on the – Did you watch the trailer reaction? Because I didn't. No, of think it was him. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, I'm still very much on the... Did you watch the trailer reaction? Because I didn't. No, of course I didn't. Okay, right. I've never watched a trailer reaction in my life. Because I don't know.

It's like, it's that additional layer of like... Because again, every time I watch a trailer, I'm very quiet and still. Yeah. And maybe I'll go... Yeah. That's not worth a watch. Often you say nothing. Often I don't know when you've finished the trailer and you're just shopping for pants. Exactly. That's right worth a watch. Often you say nothing. Often I don't know when you've finished the trailer

and you're just shopping for pants. Exactly, that's right. I can't tell. Because you always shop for pants with your headphones in. That's exactly right. I want to be totally focused. I don't want to get the inseam wrong, you know what I mean? I appreciate that, yeah.

So anyway, Pixar's are generally pretty good. Yeah, I mean, they're the gold standard of animation. I mean, aside from your occasional cars related. I saw Angry Birds 2 the gold standard of animation. I'm not, I'm, I mean, aside from your occasional cars related. I saw Angry Birds 2. How'd that go? Pretty fun. Okay.

Did you see Angry Birds 1? No. Okay. I was lost. I didn't know what to do. I screamed the whole time. But no, I saw it with my son who loved it also.

Okay. And it's also the highest, I talked about it on Suggestible, my other podcast. Oh, yes. But it's the highest rated Rotten Tomatoes video game movie ever. There you go. And watching it, I'm like, yeah, probably, yeah. Does that mean any more?

Because Angry Birds is a mobile game, right? Yes. There's no like PS4 version or anything like that? There probably is. There probably is. Does this mean they're going to move towards more mobile games, I wonder? I think, I don't know if it did super well. The first one did really well.

So I don't know whether they'll even make another one. But I know there's like a Netflix series and stuff, so they might push it towards that. Because that's what DreamWorks do, because they do the How to Train Your Dragons, and then they've got a series in between or whatever. Do you think maybe they'll just move to movie adaptations of apps? Yes. Do you think maybe they'll just move to movie adaptations of apps? Yes.

Raid Shadow Legends, which I keep getting asked to sponsor for a lot of money. I'm like, but this is crap. But I really want the money. What do I do? Well, you just cut that out and then you make that the ad. I've never played it. Maybe it's great. I just don't like how you run out of doubloons and then they hit you up for real money.

Yeah, they'll do that. I don't like that. Anyway, I'm looking forward to XE Currency Converter the movie. First app that I saw on my phone. FX's The Veil explores the surprising and fraught relationship between two women who play a deadly game of truth and lies on the road from Istanbul to Paris and London. One woman has a secret.

The other, a mission to reveal it before thousands of lives are lost. FX's The Veil, starring Elizabeth Moss, is now streaming on Disney+.

Rick and Morty also got a trailer and a release date. Yeah. Only half of the season. Yeah, five episodes. Yeah. They got renewed for 70. I guess they're doing five now, five in the new year, after the... They got renewed for 70 episodes.

Yes. Insane. Because the gap between this time was the longest ever, apparently, because they were negotiating and whatever. Is that more episodes than they've done? I think they've always only done 10. A season. Yeah, right.

So I think it's just seven seasons. Okay, right. I'd love it if they'd ended up doing 20 episode seasons. Yeah. But, you know, make us bloody wait bloody 17 years between. Did the most recent season end on a cliffhanger? I have no idea. No idea why.

It's been a long time. Was it like 2017? Which is the one where there was the previous season that. He escaped the whatever. He escaped the prison. Yeah. And then he's back. I don't remember what happened after that.

Let's just assume that it did end on a cliffhanger. Was there an evil Morty or something? I mean, there was. Oh, yeah. Right, right. assume that it did end. Yeah. Was there an evil Morty or something? I mean, there was. Oh yeah. Right. Right. There is an overarching story.

Yeah. I don't think that's my favorite episode of that season, but I don't think that's the. No, the council, the council of Rick. Yeah. And Morty gets elected and Morty gets elected.

Yeah. Yeah. So yeah. There we go. That's what happened. Yeah. But apparently there's got, there was going to be an overarching story,

but still with your singular. Cool. There's some bits from the trailer that I quite like. There's a bit where they do like an Indiana Jones temple-style booby trap thing. You've just got these force-filled suits, so they just walk through and all the trains are just pinging off them or whatever. Anything to you stand out, or do you think all in all, get ready for infinite memes and people screaming at McDonald's employees?

Oh, my God. I can't wait for Rick to express a preference for a thing, doesn't matter what thing it is, and for that thing to sell out and for people to go insane. That's right. Really and also performatively. Yeah. Maybe pants.

Also stop. Get your inseam right. Yes, agreed. But also if you're doing it performatively, it's not clever either. You're still being a dickhead. But when I do it i'm going to be commenting on that oh yeah cool yeah yeah so when you scream at a mcdonald's employee yeah it'll be no when i scream at a mcdonald's employee i mean it makes it good i put my whole heart into

it because they your coupons expired and you they should honor it anyway and i used to work there so i know and that's what i say to them i know yeah because that's what they say to them. I know. Yeah. Because that's what they want to hear. You know, I used to work here. Great. Yeah. Nobody cares. Everybody worked at McDonald's. I had a conversation about you working at McDonald's with someone. I can't remember who it was.

Was it me? No, it was a different person other than you. There are different people other than you. I think so. And it was about, I think we were watching TV one time, and we were watching an ad for McDonald's, and they're like, they're making the burger. They're happy employees.

They're making the burgers. They're getting in there, having fun, putting the burger together. And you just get this're making the burger, the happy employees, they're making the burgers, they're getting in there, having fun, putting the burger together and you just get this dead-eyed look and you go, sauce goes on the bottom. They've gone wrong.

They've gone wrong and you just snap for a moment and then you're back to reality. That's right over there. Speaking of animation, I don't know if you saw this. It does go on the bottom because it's got to absorb into the bud.

Did you see this? You may have missed this this week. A man is suing Disney, Apple, and Amazon for ripping off the X-Men theme song. Yeah, I saw the headline. So what's the deal there? I'll get to the nuts and bolts of it in a second, but basically this man is suing all these companies because the X-Men theme song allegedly rips off the theme song

to a TV series from the, I think from the 80s and not, I think maybe like the late 70s, early 80s, called Linda the Police Woman. No idea. Okay, hang on. So we'll play, look, if you don't know it, this is the iconic X-Men opening theme. I'm ready.

You ready for this? It might be loud. We all know it. We all love all know it we all love it yeah we love it oh it's enough we'll get struck for copyright oh yeah cool all right no it won't stop oh no where's it gone okay all right so we all know that one yeah and then every time there's a there's like a um one of these lawsuits i every time there's like one of these lawsuits, I'm like, it's like one little, it's one note. And you're like, obviously, well, it's just an insane man being insane. Yeah, right.

But this is Linda, original theme. I don't know what era this TV show came out, but here it is. I've never heard of it. Not much so far, right? I can see it. On the fence a little bit? Yeah. Not much so far, right? I can see it. On the fence a little bit? Yeah.

It's not really... I mean, it's just... X-Men doesn't say Linda. It doesn't say Linda. That's your first mistake, obviously. That's pretty close. That's very close, right? I'm not a music guy, but there's an uptick at the end. Yeah. Where the X-Men kind of... It sounds like... It's pretty close. That's very close, right? I'm not a music guy, but there's an uptick at the end. Yeah.

Where the X-Men kind of digs this. It sounds like if they needed the X-Men theme on a car ad and they couldn't afford the X-Men theme, they're like, have a go up at the end. That could be a coincidence, but it's pretty close. That's very close, right? Also, why now? Okay, so this is the thing.

Okay, so as reported by Deadline, a Florida man named Zoltan Krisco, first of all, great name. Great stuff. Sounds like he's in the Russian mob. He's filed a suit against Marvel, Apple, Amazon, Fox, and Disney, among others, alleging that the theme song is unauthorized reproduction

of the theme song from a Hungarian TV series called Linda. Oh, that's why we don't know what it is. Yeah. The show's theme was written by a composer named Georgi Vukan, who died in 2013. according to the lawsuit kansas state passed through a will to crisco who registered the copyright to the linda theme song in the united states in 2017 he's representing himself in the lawsuit in which he claims that the x-men theme song is at least partially responsible for the success of every x-men adaptation of the past 30

years including the billion-dollar movie franchise, despite the fact that the animated series theme song is not featured in a single X-Men film. I would argue that there is some truth to that. Yeah, yeah. The first one, certainly. Like, the X-Men theme song is a banger of a theme song. It's the only, like, that and the Ninja Turtles

is, like, the only theme song I really remember. Yeah. Off the top of my head. Yeah, I mean, it could be. I mean, we'll find out, won't we? So why this guy he didn't write it he inherited he inherited uh he inherited the rights to it the the i guess the hungarian rights to it a few years ago yeah and it's also that like you'd have to prove that they'd somehow had access to this tv show because unless it's screened overseas or they travel to hungary or whatever but at the same time it's screened overseas or they travel to Hungary or whatever.

But at the same time, it's also, it makes sense that if you were an American composer and you heard this, if you're a theme song composer, you hear theme songs all over the world. You'd be like, well, no one's ever going to, this is the 90s, pre the internet. Nobody's ever going to know that I did this. You know that Harry Shear Stewart story about a similar thing? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Can we say who it is?

No, I don't think we should. Okay. But there was a comedian in Australia who would, he'd go on like a very popular drive time radio show in Australia, like with some sort of big names. It was sort of a legendary radio show. And he would go on every week or like, you know, at regular times throughout the year.

And he would have these sort of prepared rants about various topics. And they were, you know, people were, they bloody loved him. They were- He was crushing it. How did he do it? He was crushing it.

How did he do it? And then at the end of the year, this particular radio show had a, like a best of week yeah they would bring in friends of the show to be to like here's this funny clip what do you think about that kind of thing and they brought in friend of the show harry sheer a voice of many of the characters on the simpsons and they played this particular rant i think it was about gun control and uh harry she's in the 90s when nobody's in the 90s yeah yeah and harry sheer was like oh that's amazing uh it's also Howard Stern.

So apparently this guy had just been getting tapes of Howard Stern's rants that I guess Howard Stern was just doing off the top of his head because he's that guy. Incredible. And was just somehow getting them from the US. Maybe he's listening to them on one of those international radios. I guess so. And was just copying them down and being like, here's my thoughts on this thing this week.

That's right, yeah. So he did that for years. Yeah, yeah. So maybe if you're a theme song guy, maybe you just get all the theme songs. Like here's the latest theme songs from all around the world on tapes. They circulate and you go, oh, I've got a good idea. Pretty good.

Pretty good, right? Anyway, we'll find out. But Disney will probably, whatever it is, Disney will probably just give this guy a bunch of money and be done with it. I'd imagine. They'll just make it go away. And then kill him. And then kill him, yeah.

They would mark the bills with radioactive dye and then shoot him in the head. Take the bills back. Take the bills back. He-Man the movie might be going to Netflix, the streaming service. Oh, I've heard of Netflix. It's over at Sony, I believe. Did they cast a He-Man? I think they did a while back.

It was that guy from something. Dolph Lundgren. Yeah. No, I don't think it's him. Okay. And so I don't know whether this is the right place for a sword and sorcery slash technology. Well, they got She-Ra. People are enjoying that She-Ra.

She-Ra is animated, though. That's true. And they're also, Kevin Smith is doing an animated sequel series at the moment. To He-Man. He-Man. But there was a sequel series where He-Man went to another planet with Skeletor or something. Remember that? Yeah, and they were buddies.

Were they? No, I don't know. But there was. I vaguely remember that, yes. It was a different animation style. Yeah. But they both left for whatever reason. Yeah. So, yeah, there you go. Sandwich there you go sandwich truck sandwich they worked on it together that's right they were a judge sentenced them to go to another planet and work on a sandwich truck

together that's right it's a good show but uh so what do you think about any of that news i want to see more he-man yeah but good he- He-Man or whatever? Yeah, good He-Man. We borrowed a He-Man box set like years ago. Oh, yeah. And we were just churning our way through them when we had time. Yeah, when we had time for things. Yeah. Not good. No.

We watched maybe 50. Did we really? It was a lot. Yeah. And we maybe got halfway through. It was so many. Yeah. But it's mostly just the same thing.

And there's an episode where those identical effeminate sailors turn up. Yeah, they go. He-Man joins the Eternian Navy. It's incredible, that episode. And also, what you notice when you watch infinite amounts of He-Man episodes back to back, there's like six people in that kingdom. It's like so sparse. It's just the people in the royal court and then maybe a peasant.

And some desert and then some like creepy vines and then Skeletor's castle. Yeah, right. What are they all fighting over? Creepy vines? And they're always looking at each other through mirrors and orbs. Just watching each other get up to stuff. Yeah. Yeah.

Silly. It's a silly show. Very silly. Yeah. So did you see Kevin Smith is doing Cloaks 3 now? He got Randall back. They buried the hatchet and he's working on it. And here's the Clerks 3 now? He got Randall back. They buried the hatchet and he's working on it.

And here's the story, right? What was the deal with Randall? I don't know. He said something about burying the hatchet and whatever, but he didn't want to do it because he wrote the script and that's why he's doing Jay and Silent Bob. But the story is that Randall, Randall's the video store guy, right? Yes, Dante and Randall. I like Clerks 1 and 2.

He has a heart attack, like someone we know, Kevin Smith. And then when he comes out, he has a revelation that he should make a movie, smith oh and then when he comes out he has a revelation that he should make a movie so they make the movie clerks like kevin smith oh my god it's so meta art imitating life imitating art yeah i don't know yeah yeah how many levels deep that is but and you're gonna have to keep this pacemaker equipment in your giant shorts randall that's how this is happening that's it uh. Last bit of news, we've got some Matrix forecasting. I got some more news after your news. Oh, okay.

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, who you'll know as Black Manta from the Aquaman films, has been cast in a lead role. There we go. Undisclosed at this point. So who knows? People are saying, is this a prequel? So is this like a young Orpheus situation or is it a sequel? I hope it's a sequel.

We don't know if it's supposed to be in it. So I guess it's partially a sequel at the very least. Or it's just footage of him bored at his job. Yeah. Inexplicably much older. Although not that much. They'll fix it in post. They'll be fine with it.

They'll fix it in post. Yeah, that's right. Anyway, that's good casting. It's just him going through his life not sleeping well. Most relatable matrix ever. Something's not right, but I'm very tired. That's right. Anyway, off to go to this club where we exclusively listen to Rob Zombie again.

Yes, that's right. What have you got for your bit of news? Well, I've got Jared Leto unhappy with Joaquin Phoenix's Joker. Oh, yes, of course. Because he didn't get offered the... Because I'm sure there was at a point his version of the Joker movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And there was going to be a Harley Quinn Joker situation movie and now he's maybe in Birds of Prey but it mostly seems to be a stand-in.

Yeah. And following that he's not in Suicide Squad so here you go. There you go. Are you glad or sad or what do you feel about this? Should he be upset? I mean probably. Should he? I mean they cut him mostly out yeah

exactly and it's not and people make fun of him relentlessly on the internet and he's probably a bad person and he's probably a bad person so not really at all no and also it's a different that it's you know regardless of what you think of the joker movie it's just called joker joker joker joker joker joker did you see snl has produced their one good sketch a year for 2019? I caught it, yeah. And it's David Harbour as Oscar the Grouch. Very good stuff. Pretty good. Also, looks terrific.

It's filmed very well. Is it filmed in the same locations? It seems to be. The stairs are. Yeah, the stairs are, yeah. People should watch that. I like that a lot. Yeah. Last bit of news from me.

Okay. You're crushing it with the news today, mate. Thank you. No, all I'm doing is now Google knows my clicking habits, so it just provides me with, initially when I got this phone, it didn't know what. It didn't know you like I know you. Exactly.

And now all I get is comic book movie news and clickbait fan Photoshop. It's like, you'll never believe that this version of Superman. I'm like, oh, my God. It's like, it's boss logic. never believe that this version of Superman I'm like oh my god it's like it's boss logic yeah we know it's fine is this a

Connor Kent thing no this is Michael Keaton's Batman to appear in Crisis on Infinite Earths Michael Keaton's Batman yeah it's just like

it's a still it's like a news I don't know how much I'm sure he's not going to be in it personally but there's just like a

they've released a still of, it's a newspaper clipping. It's that version of Bruce Wayne is marrying Selina Kyle. Oh, okay. So, yeah. So are they going to, how do you know it's that version? There's a picture of Michael Keaton.

Okay, right. But it's 80s Michael Keaton. Okay. And it says socialite Selina Kyle. So there's some, so she's. She's moved her way up in the world. She's moved up in the world. Yeah, it doesn't say secretary Selina Kyle.

And not dead. It doesn't say Secretary Selina Kyle. And not dead. It doesn't say Max Schrecks. Max Schrecks, Secretary. Anyway, she didn't die in that movie anyway. No, that's true. Yeah, I remember. Also, there might be an appearance of Lucifer in this, in the TV series Lucifer.

I know Lucifer because he's looking through that wine glass. That's right. He's so decadent. He's always looking at me through Netflix. He's so decadent, that's right. I like him looking at me. He'll be the patron saint of Weekly Planet Rude Edition, let me tell you. You know he is.

That's right. It's good to take a break from regular podcasting to do an ad, two ads. If I could take a permanent break from regular podcasting, and according to some people I should, and switch permanently to ads, I absolutely would do that. Just do the ads, just take the money. Yeah. But also love what you're endorsing and love what you're doing

You've never looked better. That's probably true, except for my greying hair and my wrinkles and my ghostly white complexion.

Right, but internally you're doing great. Solid as a rock, mate. Because of HelloFresh. That's right. And only HelloFresh. Nothing else. I've been meaning to tell you that exercise regime you're on, it's not working for you. It's pointless. You look like garbage when you started and you look like garbage when you're finished,

but it doesn't look like garbage to you on HelloFrench. Thank you. Appreciate that. I'd recommend the chicken pineapple quesadillas. How do you say it? Quesadillas. Yeah, thank you. There's Q's and D's and there's two L's.

It's not a word that I'm familiar with saying out loud, Mason, but I'll read it and I go, I know what that is. You'll make it quickly and easily and you'll smash it in your stupid face no it's what you'll do but you will you will not pronounce it no if claire your wife asks you what what you're having for dinner you'll be like it's none of your damn business till it's on the table you'll get what you get and it's delicious that's right also if people want 80 off their first month of hello fresh oh my goodness that's an incredible amount of money i know go to hellofresh.com my goodness.

It's such a good savings, Mason, because you don't even have to do your regular shopping for dinner either because this is what you're doing. You don't even need to do your regular

shopping for dinner. Don't even bother with your regular shopping for dinner don't even bother with your regular shopping agreed it's a waste of time it's a complete waste of time you finish working you're like oh now I've got to go

to the supermarket as well oh I've got to battle through traffic but in addition I've got to go to the supermarket the traffic's even worse right don't even bother don't even bother

it's right there agreed that's like receiving eight free meals by the way if you can believe it that's linked below absolutely worth checking out I highly recommend them so does jessica alba who i see is on their uh website as well so you're gonna say jessica alba who i see at the supermarket but

not these days no because she's getting hello fresh right mason movement you know about them because they do stylish watches you know that i know it because i've literally got one right next to me right now but you also know that they do stylish sunglasses? Yeah. I've got several pairs on my head right now. Oh, my goodness. I recently lost my pair. I dropped them actually shopping at the supermarket, if you can believe that.

That was my mistake, obviously. Yeah, mistake number one. But I went online and I bought two pair exactly the same. Right. The Rex, mate. I bloody love them. So that way if I lose one again, which I won't because I'm never going back to the supermarket.

Yeah, yeah. I've got them handy. It's good to find. I find men's clothing and accessories. Find what you like. Get a bunch of them. Yeah, definitely. For backup, you know what I mean?

Yeah, absolutely. Or just get one, whatever you want. It's not up to us what you do. Yeah. But what's great about movement, watches and sunglasses, I think, is because they've got a bunch of different styles. Yes. You can just get on the website, scroll down,

you can find something that suits you. Exactly. Which is nice, you know. Also, they don't break the bank, Mason. I've also got, I talked about this recently on Suggestible, but I've been wearing these, which I'm currently wearing. They're called the Icon and they're the blue lens glasses. I've been wearing them at night because I often edit

and watch stuff at work late into the night. And then you have weird dreams. I have weird dreams. If you ever finally get to sleep. If I ever sleep at all. But I thought I might be imagining it for the first few days because I was sleeping really well, and I could just shut off straight away as soon as I went to bed.

But it's an absolute blessing, and I can't believe how well these work. And now I get to wear cool glasses even though I technically don't need them. You say cool. I say you look like a wise old owl, which is cool in a certain way. And Mason, they've got, so you've got your options. You've got your polarised lens options.

So you don't have to worry about any of that harsh summer light or autumn light or spring light or whatever light you're currently in. There's light in every season except for if you live in that town in 30 days of night where it's always night. That's true. For 30 days. But even then you could probably get some blue light glasses.

That'd be handy, wouldn't it? Yeah, absolutely. Actually, the glasses start at just $60 and no pair is over $95, so you're guaranteed to find a style that you love.

They'll probably give us extra money for that. Or sunglasses. I'll take whatever. I don't care. That's right. All right. On with the show?

On with the show. I mean, do we have to? Let's do another ad while we're in it. Should we do a three-atter? A thratter? A thratter. Let's do a thratter this week. Oh, my goodness.

What do you want to talk about? A good thing or a crap thing? What do you want to talk about first? Let's talk about a good thing. Oh, I was going to go the other way. Like a crap thing? I was going to to talk about first? Let's talk about a good thing. Oh, I was going to go the other way. Like a crap thing? I was going, well, look, I'm easy. I don't have any preferences.

Let's talk about a crap thing. I breeze through this. Okay, cool. I'm going to get it over with. I don't think I hate it as much as you did. Gemini Man. Yep. And Lee.

Excellent director. This is going to have about a $24 to $29 million weekend, but the budget is $138 to $158 million. Because if you're watching this movie and not knowing what it was you'd be like why is this so expensive and then you'd be like oh i get it now i know why this is so expensive yeah uh what do you think the story is and it's motocross fights yes it's cgi motorbikes people hitting each other with cgi motorbikes uh it's will smith and he's the best hitman ever and but now he's retiring, but no loose ends in the hitman business.

Are they going to kill him? How are they going to kill him? Young Will Smith. Yeah. I think I probably would have enjoyed this movie. That's in the trailer. Yes. I would have enjoyed this movie on some level.

Yes. If. Ready. No, you know what? It's not even terrible. I agree. It's bland and dull and formulaic. Yeah, it is.

And the one card that they have, the young Will Smith, is kind of they really lean into it. And as like a piece of technology, it's fascinating. You know what this movie is? This movie is either the Guns N' Roses Chinese Democracy or it's the Duke Nukem Forever of movies. Oh, it's because it's been in the works. This has been in the works for a long time.

And I think if there weren't any Marvel movies ever, I think people would watch this and go, they've done a, this is spectacular. But now that this is a pretty standard issue trope of a Marvel movie or a lot of movies now where it's like, okay, we want to put Michael Douglas in this, in a flashback, let's just de-age him.

We need him 40 or whatever. Yeah, like if they'd not done any of that, we'd be like, oh my God, Young's. and i you know what in having watched the trailers to this i'm like okay will will smith doesn't look that different from his younger self it's it's pretty like they've done it but i mean a lot of it's the hair yeah i mean they've but i think they've sold it a lot better than i thought they would but again this this trick is nothing we haven't seen before but the thing is, this piece of technology, it is technically different because what they've done,

it's Will Smith doing a motion capture performance for a completely CGI version of himself. So it's not just a de-aging. It's completely digital human. So when we see young Will Smith in this movie, is there a stand-in or there's nothing? I think there'd be a stand-in and then they re-film it with him in a mo-cap with the dots and whatever.

So that's the idea behind it. So it actually is groundbreaking in that way. But to the average Joe, us. Yeah, it's like who cares because, I mean, and we just had Samuel L. Jackson DH for an entire movie. But again, it's not the same piece of technology. No, but the ultimate effect is the same. The effect is the same, yeah.

And the thing is this is a real Tesla versus Edison situation. It really is. Yeah, who did invent the telephone or light bulb or whatever that's about? Yeah. Henry Ford. It was Henry Ford, exactly. That's right. Okay, so how do you feel about the de-aging?

I think it's very good. It's really good. In a lot of sequences, and it's a little bit shaky. And then there's a... Should we just spoil this? No, that's not a spoiler, but all I'm saying... I mean, come on. The main spoiler is that there's two Will Smiths.

That's true. There is nothing else to this movie. So we're spoiling it. All I'm saying is... Okay, fine. Okay, what I'll say, without spoiling it, is that there is... A lot of product placement. There's a lot of product placement.

Mmm, Coca-Cola. Regular Coca-Cola. But I think they added a scene very late in the game. The end sequence. Yeah, the final bit. And I think. And it's broad daylight. They kind of rushed it.

And people are saying it's the broad daylight that makes the difference in it. But I think it's just a time thing. I think so too. There's a broad daylight scene right at the start. The first meeting. That one, but daylight scene. Right at the start. Yeah. Like there's a, there's a training range. The first meeting. Oh, that one,

but also the first meeting between the two. That's mostly like sunglasses and hats. And hats. It's true. But they, but in the track, when you see young Will Smith sitting and watching the training, it's pretty flawless.

Yeah, it is. It really is. And it's even like, they've like slimmed him down to like the build that he had in like fresh prints or whatever, maybe a little bit bigger, but yeah,

it's, but okay. So I don't mind product placement and things. We just did two ads. We nearly ran three. We tried to. We pushed for it. We nearly had a – what are we calling it? Thradquel. Thradquel.

We nearly had a Thradquel, which is a three-ad rad sequel. Yes, that's right. Which is what we're doing after this. We're doing a sequel to this episode. It's just ads. Just ads. But it's like when he's about to drink a Stella and he's like, don't drink a Stella, drink this.

I mean, Stella's a great beer, but drink this crisp can of Coca-Cola with the label turned out. Do you think they, or does maybe Coca-Cola own Stella? It's probably the one company. Yeah, it's probably one. But maybe they like, maybe the new thing is like you play advertising companies off each other each other yeah it's like and then you're like okay and look we'll give you a positive review regardless yes give

you a positive product placement but you might be below something else unless you pay us more money yeah it's entirely like there'll be a sequence where like you know captain america's running for he's dead now it's like uh Black Widow is running for a car. Yeah. And then she's like, I should hotwire this Audi. No, maybe I'll hotwire this car. Maybe I'll hotwire a Ferrari. Maybe I'll hotwire blah, blah, blah.

And then she's like, no, no, Skoda is for me. I'm going to hotwire this Skoda because they pay the most. I guess Bond does that, doesn't it? Because it's got different versions of cars in movies. Like it's got the Vanquish and the whatever. Oh, they're mostly Aston Martins though. Are they? Yeah.

Was the Invisible car? That was an Aston Martin. They're both Aston Martins? Yeah. They're both dumb Aston Martins? He mixes it up again. Like he used to drive, he drove a Lotus. The car that turns into a submarine in the spot he loved me is a Lotus.

Okay. But he's mostly Aston Martins. Great. Good for him. I can't find, I don't think it's Coca-Cola. I don't know. So yeah, but it's that can't find, I don't think it's Coca-Cola. But I don't know. So yeah, but it's that,

and there's a few times where it's like, drink your bloody Coca-Cola, mate, with the label turned out. That's right. And there's things like, like we'd forgotten about Coca-Cola.

Like I went into the cinema, I purchased a popcorn and a Coca-Cola and then the lights went out and I'm like, what am I drinking? I don't know. Oh,

Coca-Cola. You can never forget about it for a second. Coke's everywhere. When I lived in Tanzania, Mason, you know I'm a, what am I drinking? I don't know. Oh, Coca-Cola. You can never forget about it for a second. Coke's everywhere. When I lived in Tanzania, Mason, you know I'm a man of the world. You'd be driving in the middle of nowhere on the way, and it's hours between anything, and then you'd just see a Coca-Cola sign just whiz past you

because they pay people's houses and shopkeepers just to give you X amount of dollars and we're just going to paint this on and just leave it forever. Yeah, wow. Yeah, so it's everywhere. I read somewhere once that, and this was a decade ago maybe, that collectively Pepsi and Coke had spent $9.5 billion on advertising. That sounds about right.

Yeah, and when you go to a restaurant and they go, you say, can I have a Coke? And they go, is Pepsi okay? You go, sure, I don't care. It's fine, It's fine. I don't care. Oh, I'll have a tap water then. No, I'm leaving.

You don't care. No, you really don't. I mean, obviously there's a slight difference, but it's not enough. Sometimes it's nice to mix it up. It's nice to mix it up. People don't know this, Mason, if they're not from Australia,

but Pepsi and Coke aren't one-to-one here, are they? It's more Coca-Cola than Pepsi. It is, it's true. So that's interesting, isn't it? Yes. More interesting than Gemini, man. That's why we've gone off on this tangent, I feel. I love the bit at the start where she's like,

what are you afraid of, Will Smith? And he's like, oh, I've been avoiding mirrors lately. But also bees. Yeah, bees. Also bees and drowning. Yeah. You know what? If somebody had told, I was not interested

in this movie, if somebody had said Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Benedict Wong were in this, I think I would have been more inclined to be like, oh, they're great. I like them. But I think everyone is good in this. Will Smith does a really good job at crying at both ages. Mary Elizabeth Winstead is great

and should be in way more things. She's a very credible, in this she plays like an, I guess a CIA-esque agent. I can't remember the agency she works for. Doesn't matter. But she skirts the line of like she's not an action hero, but she's got skills. Yeah, absolutely.

I think that's played quite well. Like she knows how to handle a gun, but she's not a crazy super soldier like Will Smith is or his clone is. Also, I didn't think their age range was that insane. How old is Mary Elizabeth Winstead? She was born in 84. They've given her mom hair, obviously.

Because they're like 15, 16 years apart. I'm like, that's not unreasonable that those two would get together. But they make a big point of going like, he's up. That's not this kind of story. It it's generic but not in that way yes generic and other but that avoiding mirrors thing is like oh yeah the other thing is they clone will smith's um because he's like the perfect soldier from 1995 when they clone and they're like this is the best and the best very you know obviously forgetting about the movie Universal Soldier which is probably from that era

if I remember correctly almost certainly that's the perfect soldier but the thing is like there's 7 billion people on the planet you can't find another guy

right he's not I mean he's he's good but he didn't do anything this where I'm like I've never seen anybody do I mean I guess

he did punch somebody with a motorbike that's true. Yeah, see, that's what I'm talking about. But also I feel like. Just find another guy. Yeah, I know, but also like, you know, government budgets. You know what I mean?

They give you the money, you've got to spend the money. You've got to spend it on Will Smith. And you can't be like, I'll find another guy. You'll be like, I'll clone this guy. And everybody takes way too long. They're not going to give you billions of dollars to find another guy. They'll give you billions of dollars to clone one guy. That's probably true. Or two guys as it turns out. They're all going to look exactly billions of dollars to find another guy. They'll give you billions of dollars to clone one guy. That's probably true.

Or two guys, as it turns out. They're all going to look exactly like Will Smith. I guess so. That's going to be weird. But they can alter them. I guess that's true. Because they took out that guy's pain or whatever. But they had to tell you that they'd taken his pain out.

They're like, don't you feel anything? He's like, nah. He didn't. He was shot in the head a bunch, that dude. I liked the motorcycle chase, and I didn't like really anything else. Okay, sure. The catacombs fight was two CGI men hitting each other. Yep.

I don't know if you noticed, but they just... Also, this was filmed in 120 frames per second or something, which they can't show here, because I don't think there's a cinema in Australia that does that. There's like 20 in the US. Yeah, right. And apparently it's borderline unwatchable. Oh, is it too... Is it sort of an uncanny valley kind of vibe? It's like the Hobbit in the US. Yeah, right. And apparently it's borderline unwatchable. Oh, is it too...

Is it sort of an uncanny kind of... Uncanny Valley kind of vibe? The Hobbit, 48 frames. Yeah, right. But this is way more frames. I know. It's that soap... God.

It's that soap opera effect kind of thing. Oh, it looks like you're in the room with them. Yeah. And it's not... You don't want to be there. No. Because it's not safe. There's too many motorbikes flying about.

So I like that initial scene. Uh-huh. I thought that was a good action sequence. And there's some- Where he shoots, it's his last mission. Yeah, or whatever. Oh, that one where he shoots a guy through the train? Yeah, that was all right.

I didn't mind that. I meant when they first meet. It also takes way too long for people to work out that Will Smith is a clone of himself. It takes Will Smith too long when they do the blood test. And she's like, this is you. It's you. And he's like, what do you mean? They cloned you.

I don't know. They did. You saw him. He sounds exactly like you. And then when they tell young Will Smith, they're like, don't you see they're the same? And he's like, you're just some old man. You look exactly the same.

What are you talking about? They look very similar, don't they? It's like, that's not true. My dad found me at a bus stop or whatever. Think about it. Here's the thing, though. I think if your younger self met you, your younger self wouldn't believe what you turned into. Wearing your glasses like a wise old owl slash nerd, because we're not in the ad anymore, so I can say that.

You nerd. I like sleeping well, basically. Yeah, fair enough. Yeah, but your younger self will be like, I never sleep. I watch He-Man on DVD. I've got so much time. You're probably right. But, I mean, your dad works for a shady government organisation called Gemini.

That's true. Think about it for a second. And the things that he told you, like, I'm allergic to bees and I have nightmares and I can do a flip and all the things that Will Smith can do. I have nightmares about not being able to do a flip, but I can do a flip. Oh, no, yeah. So it took him way too long in the data. Also, there's no, I think you could have done.

If you live in a universe where cloning isn't possible, to the best of your knowledge. But we do. We live in that universe now. It's like cloning is possible. If they turned around and they went, we cloned someone 20 years ago, I'd be like, yeah, probably. I still feel like it rides the line of like,

if I met a young version of me, I'd be like, people can look quite similar. No, it'd be too much. Plus he'd be too busy flushing his head down the toilet. Because he wore glasses, didn't he? Matrix glasses. Yeah. The clip-on ones.

Yeah, nice. So, okay, there's a Minigun Minute. There is. It's true. It's back. We've got a lot of bloody tweets about it. It's pretty impressive. Good at tearing, chewing up the scenery.

Not good at chewing up Will Smith slash Mary Elizabeth Winstead. It wasn't that kind of movie, though. It wasn't expected. No, that's true. I thought it looked quite good, though. It did. It had some tracer rounds going off. Yeah, it was good.

Pew, pew, pew. Pew, pew, pew. Pew, pew. Pew, pew. And there was a third Will Smith as mentioned. Lil Will Smith. And he CGI parkoured. Will Smith. Lil Smith.

He CGI parkoured his way into it. Yeah, that wasn't very good, was it? No, it wasn't very good. No, it was bad in fact. I think CGI people, they've come a long way. You can make Will Smith young. Yeah. But there's something about the movement of some of this was just off.

It's the janky. I don't know what it is. It reminded me of that sequence from Blade II, you know, the two CGI people fighting in front of the bright lights at the start. I think it's because they were 100% focused on, we've got to euthify Will Smith. I think that's all they were focused on for this entire thing. Exactly, and they didn't pause to consider whether they should do a parkouring younger Will Smith. Yes. You's all they'll focus on for this entire thing. Exactly, and they didn't pause to consider whether they should

do a parkouring younger Will Smith. Yes. You know what they should have done? Just an actual parkour with a Guinness suit. They should have gone, okay, well this, we've discovered that young Will Smith clones don't work, so we're going to do aged Will Smiths. That's the super soldier. I was expecting

I really thought they'd be like 50-year-old Will Smith was cloned from like an 80-year-old Will Smith. Do you think so? I was really, I knew there'd be another clone. Oh, yeah, for sure. I just didn't know in what direction it was going to come from. And I didn't expect they just made another one

and he's the same as the other one. He's a little bit younger. He's slightly younger. I can't tell. I actually fell asleep for a minute during this as well. I mean, I'm genuinely very tired, but that doesn't really happen to me that often. There you go.

And I don't know what point I dozed off in, but I don't think I missed anything. This is Ang Lee. He's an incredible filmmaker. Brokeback Mountain. This is a dog shit film. And I'm going to... Worst movie ever for me.

Yeah, I'm also going to say worst movie ever. I think the performances, or not even the performances, but I don't know. Worst movie ever for me. Yeah. I'm also going to say worst movie ever. It's, I think the perform, the performances, or just not even the performances, but the, the actors on screen that I like saved me from coming out of it going, I've wasted two hours on this. I think,

but. I also didn't know they talk about people. They'd be like, where's Peterson or whatever. And I'm like, is that the Benedict Wong character? Is that the guy who handed the Coke? I don't remember anybody's name from this.

Yeah. So it didn't help. The main character, Will Smith's character's name is Riley Brogan, I think. Okay. Which is the least Will Smith name I've ever heard. Yeah. Jim West.

They should have called him Jim West. They should have called him Jim West. Was that his name from Wild Wild West? Yeah. Okay. Wild Wild West, Jim West. And also. Esperado. They should have called him Jim West. They should have called him Jim West. Was that his name from Wild Wild West? Wild Wild West, yeah. Okay. Wild Wild West, Jim West. And also. Esperado, something, something.

Yeah. It's a good movie, probably. Yeah, I don't know. It's, yeah. I think it's one of those things where you're banking on star power. Yep. And you're banking on the young Will Smith to get people in. Yeah.

Those two things are not applicable to blockbuster movies anymore. That's absolutely true. And also it wasn't good, so that didn't help either. I think if it was good, like they made a good narrative, I think people would have found some legs. But it's very interesting from a tech perspective. I guess that's true. Now you've told me that they've come to this conclusion

from a different perspective. Like that's true. Now you've told me that they've come to this conclusion from a different perspective. Like that's interesting. Cause when I was watching when, when he's on screen and knowing that it was fascinating because you can see the tears and the redness of the eyes and like the sheen off the face and the way the light hits it from light sources in the room, whatever. And you know, all that's fake and it's incredible. So that was when I was like, this is like a six-minute YouTube demonstration. You know when you say, like, we've used the Unreal Engine to create an old man's face. I'm like, that's the best old man face I've ever seen. And then let's hit it with a brick and it's made of rubber

and it goes. Yeah, exactly. So from that perspective, really. So if this were a sequel, for example, to the video clip to Will Smith's Wild Wild West. That'd be very interesting. Sign me up. Would Kevin Kline return?

Is he in that film clip? I think he might be, yeah. And Salma Hayek. They're all back. Off cuts from the movie that they threw in? No. Wild Wild West, the video clip, tells a completely different narrative to Wild Wild West, the movie.

That cannot be true. No, it's true. It's true, right? I've never really seen either properly. It's pretty good. I've seen bits and bits of Wild Wild West. Did I say bits and bits? What did I say?

It doesn't matter. You fell asleep again. That's what happened. How long have I been out? You've been out seven days. People are clamouring for an episode of the Weekly Planet, either clean or rude edition, but I don't know how any of this equipment works,

so I've just been spinning my wheels here. You've made that water last. I know you've finished it. I'm so busted. I'm drinking a drop at a time. Worst movie ever. What about you? Yeah, we said that already.

Before you fell asleep. It's been seven days, mate. So what do you want from me? Anyway, there was another movie out this week, thank goodness. It was called El Camino. It's a sequel, a coda, a nice little bow on the Breaking Bad TV series. And also, I guess, Better Call Saul in a way. Yeah, now I'm not up to date on Better Call Saul, but you are?

Yeah, there's a few nods and some people show up, I think. Is Better Call Saul finished? No. Okay, right. I saw some Easter eggs in this where I'm like, man, that is a deep cut. Yeah, right. I didn't even pick up on them. I'd seen them online.

So is this... On Twitter or whatever. Is Vince Gilligan the creator of Breaking Bad? Is he heavily involved in Better Call Saul? Yes. And he wrote and directed this. Yeah, right. Uh-huh.

How do you feel about this overall? I feel like this is, again, it is a good bow on the top of this. Are we spoiling this or not spoiling this? I think I should... Let's not spoil it initially. Look, I'm a huge fan of Breaking Bad. Yeah, for sure. As everybody is.

It was nice and also horrible to be back in this universe. That's my main takeaway from this because, again, Jesse Pinkman especially went through some horrifying stuff in that last season of Breaking Bad. I've won gripe with it, but it's a minor gripe. Is it a spoiler? It's a spoiler, so I'm going to save it. Okay, right.

Yeah, so this is kind of- Is this you telling us what the story was? Oh, no. So this is set immediately after the final episode of- Straight up. Season five of Breaking Bad. Which I think maybe like 2010. Yeah, right.

So flip phones are still in, baby. I love them. Actually, they're really not. I mean- They're just mostly using burners, aren't they? Yeah, that's true. phones are still in, baby. I love them. Actually, they're really not. I mean. They're just mostly using burners, aren't they? Everyone's got a burner. Yeah. And if you remember the Breaking Bad, if you haven't, maybe go watch Breaking Bad.

We'll pause. Yeah. We gave you seven days to watch the whole thing. So you should have got caught up by now. And Jesse has escaped from the the nazi gang uh i mean he escaped because walter white machine gunned them all to death yeah uh he did good work he did some good work there finally and then uh he's he's on the run because there's still probably some more nazis out there yeah and he's got's got a bloody, bloody, and the police are out there, obviously, as well.

They're coming to get him. He's public enemy number two. Yeah. Number one. Number one, yeah. Walter White's dead. Well, yeah. I liked how there was a lot of clickbait this week of like, Vince Gilligan's definitively

said what happened to Walter White. He's dead. Yeah. Look, I still, it's still, I don't think Vince Gilligan is the type to bring him back. No, for sure. To life. Yeah. And they also say they found nine bodies at the scene,

and I think if you add them up, one of them is Walter White. Yeah, right. So he's probably – but still, I would not be shocked if they went, he lived with the – but then it's not the show to be like, they've kept him in a secret coma. Yeah, right, exactly. And now he's back. Yeah.

Some of the cast returns. Yes. Aaron Paul. He's really great. He's really good. Because he's mostly silent in this. I mean, you know, he's not, if you're expecting, hey, Mr. White, bitch, you're expecting that. I mean, you get a little bit of that.

I mean, you get a little bit in flashback. But if you're expecting Weekly Planet Rude Edition. What's up, yo? You're going to get Weekly Planet Clean Edition. Yeah, that's right. But he's older expecting Weekly Planet Root Edition, you're going to get Weekly Planet Clean Edition. That's right. But he's older and wiser. Not really.

He's probably still about 27 or 29 or whatever he's supposed to be. He's fought in real life. But there's a lot of just silences and staring because he's a man who's been tortured figuratively and literally.

What I thought was really interesting about this time around is, we're going to spoil Breaking Bad, I guess. We already mentioned the machine gun. Yeah, there you go. Good point. But is that the progression of this character, especially when you see him in flashbacks,

is the confidence that he has now in himself and the way he'll just walk into a room and the way that he wouldn't before. He's been through some stuff. Yeah, with just like a stone cold approach and a plan. Like Walter White sort of slowly became that guy and he's adopted a lot of those, this is an unwinnable situation, but I've got a trick up my sleeve or whatever.

I thought that was, I forgot how good this show is at ratcheting tension as well. For sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's tiny little things. I also feel like this kind of has, again, embraced like this New Mexico kind of like Western vibe to it. It's like they ratchet it up. And I really get the sense of like this felt like some sort of

kind of neo-noir kind of everybody in this universe is bad and he's just the he happens to be the best guy in it yes like you only root for this guy because he's the least worst person yes because he has done some terrible things leading up yeah but it's it's like everybody who kind of takes a turn in this series they don't start that way and it's in increments you know what i mean they slowly get there and then there's normally like a turning point and for him it was shooting that other um meth meth cook oh yeah yeah i don't know what season it was but um you want him to get away from the cops because nobody in this is really any better than anybody else that's true the cops are all probably bad yeah because even i really

liked when he he runs into his friends skinny pete and badger yeah they're back and they and and just just that idea in this world that of having like true friendship was like a real as a real kind of um couple of couple of pure bromances you know yeah i just thought that was that was a thing in 2010 right yeah and i thought what was really interesting about interesting about those guys they kind of drop kicks and they're drug addicts and they don't really do anything. But there's a loyalty there and they're not entirely stupid.

Yeah, they've got street smarts. Yeah, and I think that was really interesting. A lot of people, it's been a talk of the web that Meth Damon or Jesse Plemons, who shows up in this, he's put on some weight between now and when he last appeared in this series Yes And all his appearances in this are in flashback Yeah

Obviously Because he put on some weight for Fargo Because he was strangled to death Yeah that's right He put on some weight for Fargo And this is set in between This is set like in the six months between when Walter White goes into hiding So I guess he could have put on weight and then taken it off

It's entirely possible Well that's true yeah Look He could have done a bunch I guess he could have put on weight and then taken it off. It's entirely possible. Well, that's true, yeah. Look, it's unfair. He could have done a bunch of meth and lost all the weight. Yeah, maybe he's doing it for a role. Maybe there's other reasons for him doing it. Yeah, for sure. But I will say this.

It was kind of a continuity distracting for me in moments. But overall, like Jesse Plemons is an amazing actor and he plays this stone called lunatic who's also kind of a nice guy yeah at the same time really well he's got a certain southern hospitality about him uh but he's also he's also a yeah lunatic the worst person in the world do you want to just do spoilers yeah i'm gonna say best movie ever 100 best best episode ever because it feels like a two-hour episode of Breaking Bad. I think if you're expecting like, and he's going to take down the cartel

and all the corrupt cops in the system and whatever, and then he's going to get a billion dollars and he's going to fly a plane. It's not that. This is just one more snippet in his life, really. And I was going to say, that's kind of my issue, my only issue with it, and it's a minor issue, is that I just assumed he got away to Alaska anyway. As he planned. As he planned to do at the end of the season finale.

Yeah. And that's what happens. Yes. So he gets away. That being said, watching him do it was fascinating. Yeah, for sure. So, again, it's a minor crime. Spoilers.

Let's talk spoilers. Yes. I like how the story is really low-key in terms of you just need $1,800. Yeah, right. And that's the difference between him being locked up forever. Yeah, true. Or being killed by any number of people. People may know Robert Forster who plays Ed,

the vacuum cleaner salesman who's also the kind of disappearer. He passed away this week. Yeah, like the day it was released or the day after. He's great. Excellent. I think he was in the London has fallen, Olympus has fallen movie. Oh, I see. Okay.

Was he like an old retired CIA guy or something? No, I think he's a general. Okay, right. But he won a Saturn Award, I believe. A Sega Saturn Award? He won a Sega Saturn Award. He got his Sega Saturn for that episode of Breaking Bad, the last episode he was in.

Yeah. And he's great in that he's like an old school actor and it's not about doing the most acting. Yeah. You know what I mean? It's subtle. Yeah, absolutely. He's a guy who believably runs a vacuum store,

but also smuggles people. Yeah, right. Drug dealers, finds new lives or whatever. Yeah, I really like the apartment scene. Oh, where he has to, he's gone back to Jesse Plymouth's apartment to get his money. And it's what I thought was really interesting about that, and I didn't, you kind of, I thought it was odd at the time until the scene kind of reveals

itself when he goes, call your partner in here when Jesse's got the guy at gunpoint. Yeah. And he goes, Lieutenant, come and check this out. And the guy's immediately suspicious. And he's obviously immediately suspicious because neither of them are cops. Yeah. And why would he be calling him Lieutenant when they're both, when it's supposed to be just them that's alone?

I thought that was really interesting. Yeah. I thought that guy, that welder might have been a bad guy from a previous season. Because sometimes there's, because there's like minor players that you see briefly who show up in this. So I thought, but he's not. I looked into it. Is he not? Is he not the guy that put the, welded the cage to him?

Yeah, he is. But he wasn't, there wasn't an episode of that. In that, he's not in it. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Okay. Right. That's 38 wasn't an episode of that. Oh, okay, right, in that. He's not in it, so okay, right. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Okay, right. That's 38, if you can believe that.

Oh. Yeah. Good for him. Good for him. Yeah. I just think he looks like somebody's dad. He is somebody's dad. Somebody who's 38 could be somebody's dad.

I know, I know. I'm old. I just, I'm just, this is just a reminder to myself. Yes. Death is imminent. Anyway, Robert Forster, good, he was in Heartbreak High, but I think it's not the Heartbreak High we're thinking of. Anyway, Robert Forster. Good. He was in Heartbreak High, but I think it's not the Heartbreak High we're thinking of. Oh, yeah, there's another. 1991's Heartbreak High.

He was in Maniac Cop 3, Badge of Silence. I have not seen that one. No, neither have I. He was in American Yakuza. He was in Scanners the Showdown. Oh, he's in Jackie Brown. He's Max in Jackie Brown. I was going to say, yeah, that's the big role.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he's in Me, Myself and Irene, if you've seen that movie. I have, but I don't. He's in Mulholland Drive. That's a good one. What were we talking about? I loved the scene. Speaking of the welders, I loved the scene where he killed them all.

He killed a few of them and blew the place up. What's funny about all the pieces are in motion for that scene that he was, of that was going to happen. Because you saw him get two guns from his parents' house. You see that he's only got one on him and he's got his hand in his pocket. Yeah, right. And I still didn't figure out that that – it took me a second even after. That's because you're dumb.

I know, but it took me a second even after he shot the guy to figure out what had happened. And I loved how his pocket was on fire. Yeah, that was good, yeah. Yeah. I thought that was terrific. And just a really, and that bodyguard, you know, for the prostitutes, he's from previous seasons. He's in a minor role.

That spider, which is in Jesse Plemons' apartment, is the spider of the kid that he killed in the desert. Like he held on to it. Oh, yeah, right. So it's just like, and even things like, you know, the money that Skinny Pete and Badger give. These are all things I saw on Twitter. All right.

These things that they give Jesse. That will soon be in your history video. That's right. No, I'm not doing it. That they gave to Jesse is the money that Walter White gave them to hold the laser pointers on that rich couple. Oh, yeah, I remember that. There's just little things like that.

Because in the last episode, they're like, you should give money to my family otherwise. Yeah. Because that's the couple that cheated him out of his riches in some way, in some vague way. Yeah, that's it. So I really got to re-watch it. Watching this made me realise that I probably will sooner rather than later. How do you feel

about the ending? It kind of left me wanting to... It's got a nice turtleneck on. It's got a great turtleneck, but I kind of, I want to see him living up in Alaska, getting into new adventures and mischief and whatever. Oh, do you think he's going to get into new adventures? Look, apparently this is the end of it, at least for now.

Yeah. But I'd love to see more of this character. And that's kind of, but at the same time, I'm kind of like, maybe leave it. Yeah, I think, I guess you're right.

On the one hand, and that's a testament to a good character. I would love to see him in more scrapes and adventures, but also I don't want him to get into any trouble ever again. I want him to raise a family of turtleneck with a turtleneck wife and turtleneck children up in Alaska and not get into any trouble. Yeah, but it's funny because Dexter had a similar ending

where he went and became a lumberjack or something in Alaska, maybe. Maybe he goes and hunts down Dexter. Oh, yeah. Or food truck. Enough with the food truck. No, no. It's the perfect combination of food and mobility. You know what I mean?

It's convenient. It's convenient and delicious, all right? And I won't stand for it. So if you had to choose- Yes. We would start a food truck. Yes. Podcast's gone. I don't stand for it. So if you had to choose. Yes, we would start a food truck, yes. Podcast's gone.

I don't want that. Do you want. We could call it Rude Dude Food. Is that the name of one of Levins' books? Books is called Dude Food. Dude Food, yeah, which he did not want to call it. That's correct. But he has a new book coming out. It's a kid's book.

It's not about food. I think it's in April. All right. Anyway, we'll talk about that closer to April. Okay. But yeah, so if you had to choose, see this character again, yes or no, what would you say? Yes. Me too.

Maybe Skinny Pete and Badger get into trouble. Oh, he has to go back. And Bro Code, he has to go back. See, I kind of want him to do... Adventures in Alaska. Yeah. And what kind of mischief can he get into up there? Maybe his old life follows him.

Maybe it doesn't. Maybe it's just new trouble that he finds himself in. Maybe he remembers that in order to pay back his student loans, he has to take a job as a doctor practicing in Alaska. The TV show Northern Exposure. Very good. Is what I'm thinking of. That's the plot of the show Northern Exposure.

I haven't seen it. Okay. But I did see the Walter White cameo. Yes. Which was spoiled for me because I think I saw a Twitter headline that was like, is Walter White? This is months ago.

You'll never believe who's in the... He's coming back. He told everybody he's coming back. Right. He's coming back. He didn't shave his head. It's a bald cap. But I thought what was interesting

is all the flashback sequences. There was one with Jessica Jones, of course. That's right. And there's one with Mike and Walter White white they're all like giving him hints towards maybe you should do something with your life and he's like get the fuck out of here man don't worry about it and then it's funny just live off of my meth profits forever yeah and it seems like i i guess maybe that his hand was forced but he finally ended up doing the thing that everybody was kind of pushing him yeah right and it was interesting that they chose kind of pushing him to the runs.

And it was interesting that they chose that Walter White to go with because that's like season one Walter White. It is, yeah. And not lunatic season three, I guess, is probably where it really takes a turn. Yeah, I think, yeah. Like he's still a teacher kind of mindset. Exactly. Getting advice from, it'd be like getting advice from you when you're a teacher versus now. These days it'd be like, what should I do with my life?

And you'd be like, put a machine gun in the back of a car. If anybody gives you any trouble, you machine gun them. Put the machine gun in the car. Yeah, that's probably what I would say. But good cameo. I agree. He's got that cappuccino moustache. Oh, he really does. Some of the best. Anything else? No, I think that's worth a watch, I agree. He's got that cappuccino mustache. Oh, he really does.

Some of the best. Anything else? No, I think that's worth a watch, I reckon. It's good. And you should watch Better Call Saul. I should. Because it's also very good. And it's Gillian, is that his name?

It's Gilligan, yes. Gilligan. Like the island. Like the island. I nearly said that, but I'm like, that can't be right. But it is. Worked on X-Files. He worked on this and other things.

So good on him. Maybe he wants to make other stuff anyway. For sure, yeah. Like Better Call Saul. Okay, but here's the thing though. Do you think that, given that he's given us a cap on this character, do you think people are going to stop clamoring

for more Breaking Bad stuff? I don't think so. No, absolutely not, no. If anything, he's shown people that if they complain enough, he'll kowtow to that but i also think he's the kind of guy that would only do it if he had a good idea but i also feel like it's going to get to the point where if he keeps making and people would just be like we get to a point

well you fucked it didn't you like yes exactly get pushing it and uh which is why i would also be okay if they stopped making these anyway best movie ever i. And also good as a Netflix release. Yeah. Yeah, it's nice. I mean, I would have 100% gone to the movies to see this the day it came out. Yeah, probably the same, actually. But I really liked that it was just on my TV, and I spent Friday night watching it five times.

That's not true. I watched this, and then I watched more Sarah Connor Chronicles. Oh, cool, cool. Should we do what we're reading, what we're going to read? We'll do what we're reading, what we're going to read? We'll do what we're reading what we're going to read. I've got to put the theme song in! You've got to put in the theme song, you goose! I'm doing the theme.

What are we reading today? What are we reading today, Mason? Here's a question for you. I love questions. Should I get the... A vasectomy, yes. Way ahead of you. Both your balls cut off.omy, yes. Way ahead of you. Both your balls cut off.

Okay, cool. Way ahead of you. But after that, when I'm recovering, should I get the remastered Ghostbusters video game? Never played it. Yeah, neither have I. And probably. Yeah, because I love original Ghostbusters.

And this is, of course, the real sequel to Ghostbusters 2. I was thinking about mixing up the Caravan of Garbages with video games. Yes. How's this for a format? Because normally we just play through a level. Yep. Why am I flirting with you on air? I don't know.

It doesn't matter. It's exciting to hear how the sausage is made. It certainly is. Put a racial slur in so you know you have to edit it out. So we go away and we play the video games independently. Like a damn Irish. Like a damn Irish. Yep. Then we're both Irish, so video games independently. Like a damn Irish. Like a damn Irish. Yep.

Then we're both Irish, so it's fine. We can say it. We come back together and we maybe play one key level together. Okay. And we talk about that. Like we do the commentary. And we also do like a review. So we intersperse the review with the Let's Play or whatever.

I like it. And I think Ghostbusters, when the new one comes out, this might be a good way to do that. Yeah, for sure. Because I read a lot of reviews for this game, and it's like, well, it doesn't really add anything to the original version. I'm like, well, it didn't play the original version. Yeah, exactly.

It looks a bit... It's also from an era where you were still playing video games. Yes, that's true. But also, it's a remaster, but it still kind of looks PS3, I think. I was expecting more but I'll probably play it. Apparently it's like a bit kind of janky. Okay good.

I'm kind of hesitant to go into yet another kind of. It's a third person sandbox situation. I don't think it is sandbox. Okay right. It's sandboxy. No I don't think so. Okay then good. I think it's pretty linear. Missiony? Yeah but I think a complaint of it is that you're with the original Ghostbusters. And you're the rookie.

You're just generic doesn't talk guy, which was kind of a... And they're all quipping at you and you're like... Shut up, Bill Murray. Yeah. We can't hear you. That's right. Or in real life. That's true.

Well, I should... Okay, I'll get it. I'll get it and I'll let you know. I think you should get it. Yeah. And then we'll probably end up doing it anyway. Yeah. I was thinking about doing maybe.

As long as the proton gun effects look good. From what I've seen, it looks amazing. As long as I can throw a trap. Yeah. I was thinking of doing like Ghostbusters. As long as I can punch Walter Peck right in the face. Call him dickless. You know what I mean?

Do you reckon there's any swearing in it? I bet there isn't. There probably isn't, no. But it's also one of those, it's kind of like they had to build a plot around revisiting a lot of the old stuff from the movies. It's like, well, I'm a state-fucked marshmallow man and capturing Slimer again. Yeah, there's that painting of that guy.

I don't think Viggo the Cap, or maybe he is. No, the painting is in it. Oh, good. Yeah. They obliterated that painting. Didn't it become like them? Yeah, it became like a religious painting with the Ghostbusters and a baby. That makes sense.

Makes a lot of sense. Doesn't make sense. And the guy from Abbey McBeal was in it. Abbey McBeal? Ally McBeal. Abbey McBeal. Abbey McBeal. She never made it.

That's immediately become a thing that now, no matter what happens at this point, I'll be like, hey, James, you want to come to the movies? And you'll be like, is Abbey Mc now no matter what happens at this point I'll be like hey James you want to come to the movies and you'll be like is Abby McBeal going to be there and you'll be like

no no you're also going to get tweets like that now yeah hey look I'm at the movies and you make your cool Gemini man post

where it's two of you one on the left Abby McBeal Abby McBeal I'll be watching the Sarah Connor Chronicles for A Can of Better Garbage. Good. It's great. I forgot how good that show is.

It's dated because it's 11 years old. Having re-watched it, tell me about this. I feel like in the first episode, what's that actor's name? She's River in Summer Glow. I feel like in the first episode, she's been given a lot more human emotions. Yes, 100%. And she's obviously been designed to blend into the high school where she is. And then I think after the pilot they're like...

They strip her back. Yeah, they'd be like, well, it'd make more sense if she's learning about humanity or whatever. Yeah, definitely. I remember that being quite jarring, but... I think, yeah, definitely. And the special effects are a bit wonky because it's TV and it's 10 years ago. But it's better than all the other crap that I've watched for this. I'll tell you that much.

So anyway, I'm really enjoying it. And anyway, we'll do a cape and a garbage on it. But we'll wait for that, I guess. But I also read DC Black Label. It's back. Oh, is that Batman Damned? No, that's done. We saw his dick and it's over.

Yeah, we saw his dick. Yeah, absolutely. It's called Joker Holly. We see Joker's dick. Nice. And no, no he's not actually he's not in the first issue but it's it's uh cammy garcia art by miko uh suyen and mike mayhew and it's basically a reinterpretation of the characters where harley quinn is a it's just professor of sorts or a criminal psychologist. I can't remember. Anyway, she's not a cop, but she's helping cops track down serial killers.

She's like the mentalist. Exactly. She's like... Castle. Yes, she's like Abby McBeal. She's like Abby McBeal. Not a cop, but helps the cops, probably. She's after the Joker in particular.

And he hasn't shown up yet in the first issue But I thought it was interesting A comic book where the main character doesn't show up Fascinating One of them That sounds good But anyway, I'm not sure how I feel about this DC Black label As of yet

How is it differentiated from the regular DC Universe? This one, nothing There's no dicks in it It's just darker. Is it in the style of any particular version of Harley Quinn, do you think? It's more realistic, I would say. Okay, right. Yeah, it looks like one of those things where,

because it's not like every month, or if it is every month, they spend more time kind of on the artwork. Do you feel it's been released now to cash in on Joker? I mean, obviously it has, but do you think it's a case of like, well, if you want more street-level Joker stuff that isn't silly, then yes. I mean, why would you read a Joker thing that has silly clown stuff in it? You know what I mean?

I don't like that. I like my Joker as real as the day is long. Absolutely. Also, I'm probably going to watch The Terror, which I haven't watched yet. Which season? They're both on Amazon Prime, so I did not know that. They're both good. I haven't finished up the second season yet, but they're both good.

I think I like the first one more. Very good. I don't know, but again, I haven't finished the second one yet. Well, I feel I have limited time left before the entire thing is spoiled for me, so I'm going to... Do you like Spooky Times? Yeah. Do you like Spooky Times on Ice? Yeah.

Then you'll love it. That's right. Also, I'm going to see Spooky Times on Ice, the Christmas Spectacular. Anything else? That's it, I think. Then let's do the letters. Let's do the letters. As a team, though, this time, Mason.

The classic one was letters, oh letters, we love you. Some letters, they're only a take away. I know they're here right now. We're going to do letters. Very good. Letters. If you going to do letters. Very good. Letters. If you want to reach the show, hashtag WeeklyPlanetPod on Twitter, or conversely, WeeklyPlanetPod at gmail.com.

Send over a Gmail, and Mason will see that Gmail, and he will peruse it. Will it be any good? He'll decide. And then he'll read out one to four, depending on how he's feeling. Apparently I've got one. All right, then. This is from an anonymous source.

Well, they've got their name here, but they said, if you could keep me anonymous, that would be much appreciated. No problem. He went to a private talk by Scorsese at a large British film institute. Let's call it WAFTA. It's probably BAFTA. No, it says WAFTA. It does say WAFTA.

And he said, let's call it WAFTA. So I guess I should accede to his wishes. He spoke at length about how no studio would pick up a movie with both him and De Niro because the theatres are full of the theme park movies. He fears that the skills of cinema will slip away as cinemas only show superhero films. He also said he used to like superhero films before the MCU.

Okay. Yeah. But a lot of them are bad. What's he talking about? I know, right? Is he talking about Superman and Batman 89 I assume

Maybe he is yeah He must be right Because anything Most things from the 90s I don't think he saw Spawn And that's where I'm at Yeah Did you hear this story

This is from Comic Con this week I think it's New York Comic Con Pee Wee Herman Created Tim Burton's career In a way In what sense? Well he directed Tim Burton directed

Pee Wee's Big Adventure Oh and then he saw His weird short No so what happened is Tim Burton's career in a way. In what sense? Tim Burton directed Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. Oh, and then he saw his weird short? No, so what happened is Pee-Wee, and this is also Sylvester Stallone related. Yes. So Pee-Wee Herman, you know, he'd been Pee-Wee Herman for many years and he had his first movie coming up

and they were like, the studios were like, here's a hundred directors, pick a director out of this. And he's like, I don't like any of these directors. Yeah. And I hate Martin Scorsese. I hate Martin Scorsese, Paul Rubin said. Yes. And they're like, well, okay, how about this guy?

How about this director? You've got to pick this guy. And he had all the power because he was a huge entertainer at that point. Well, he did. But, you know, they were also pressuring him to be like, we've narrowed it down. You've gone through 100 people, this guy left, what do you reckon?

And so Paul Reubens channeled apparently Sylvester Stallone, who famously put his foot down and said, I'm not giving you permission to do Rocky unless I'm Rocky, kind of thing. And he said... I'll be Rocky. Yeah, he said, I'll be Rocky. But he also said, if the director's not right, I'm not going'll be Rocky. But he also said, I'm not going to, if the director's not right,

I'm not going to do this. And then he had to go out and be like, I've got to find a director. And apparently he was friends with Shelley Duvall, who'd worked on Tim Burton's Frankenweenie, the short film. And she was like, you've got to get this guy. He's weird. He's got weird hair. Yeah, and then he directed Pee-Wee's Big Adventure.

Really? And that's how he's's got weird hair. Yeah, and then he directed Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. Really? And that's how he's bloody Tim Burton now. I mean, he probably would have gotten in in some other way. That's true, and he repaid the favour by putting him as the Penguin's parents in Batman Returns. That's right, yeah. There you go. Anyway, a person who's emailed in here said,

I thought he may have been misunderstood in his original quote that he's definitely not the case. It says here, he quite honestly came off as a little bit bitter about how things have changed. My 76. Also, here's a scoop.

He also refuses to drink anything that isn't purified. My 76, you've got to give it a lot. It says, that isn't purified bottled Fiji water. His assistant sent that request into WAFTA three times to make sure it sunk in.

This WAFTA place is... I know, right? ...at its world. I mean, water's water, I guess. I mean, it's not Fiji water, though, from the rivers of Fiji. It's not even from Fiji. What? I'm fairly confident.

Oh, my God, is it a Coca-Cola product? I think it might be. It probably is, yeah. We did it. We got Gemini manned. Yeah. I find that hard to believe that a studio wouldn't greenlight a Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro movie.

But, I mean, he is on Netflix now. Yeah, but that's the thing. When's The Irishman coming out? Like a month. Okay, right. But The Irishman, they spent like $150 million on that. I mean, it's Netflix, so it's different. But I really find that hard to believe that a studio wouldn't greenlight

something like that. Yeah. I mean, he's saying it. But, I mean, I guess it also depends on how the question was asked. Yeah. I mean, he's saying it. But I mean, I guess it also depends on how the question was asked. Yeah. You know? I'm curious, though. Like, did he like the X-Men films?

Did he like Elektra? It's a mystery, isn't it? What did he? Maybe he did like Elektra. I mean, he probably liked The Dark Knight. I can see him probably liking that. Yeah. Yeah.

Anyway. Did he like Spider-Man, Sam Raimi's Spider-Mans? Yeah. Good point. But, I mean, he's entitled to his opinions and it doesn't matter. Did he like Meteor Man? He might have liked Meteor Man. Like Meteor Man.

There you go. Apparently he was also asked to direct Joker, but he was like, no, I don't want to do it. I'd rather. D.H. Robert De Niro or whatever put him in weird heels. This is from Poo Poo Magoo on Twitter. He or she is back. Excited.

Hashtag Weekly Planet Pod. With rumours, did you hear this, that Warner Brothers are considering a President Lex Luthor film without Superman following the success of Joker. Did you hear that? Maybe I heard something about it, but it also might have been that clickbait in my Google results. Would you prefer to have no Superman or have him in the background

and focus on how he deals with an all-powerful alien? That. That one. I think you could make a Lex Luthor movie and I think you can also do one without Superman to a point. I don't think you can make him go all the way to precedent without Superman rolling up at

some point. I'm not saying even it has to be the focal point. I don't even think he has to be in it. You wouldn't even have to be the focal point i don't think he has to be in it yeah like you wouldn't even have to really cast it but i mean a universe without him over that time period i mean what's his drive because a lot of time the motivations of lex luther is because because of superman yeah exactly he sees superman as this again first of all a mysterious invader but also like he thinks he's better than me well i'll prove i'm better than him kind of thing so doesn't even have hair yeah someone's got a great hair balls of pluck chicken that bloke embarrassing so what do you think i know you like more comic book

elements that's true i do yeah it's in the joker universe is what we're saying. I don't know about that. Okay, right. Sure. Does it matter? Kind of, yeah. Would the Joker be on the news? They got him. They got that guy who shot those three guys. Yeah, but I mean, again, like you said, who's Lex Luthor if he's not? In the 80s then?

Yeah, versus Superman, you know what I mean? What adventures is he getting up to? Like, is he Nixon-esque? Is that what they're doing with this? Maybe, yeah, okay. Yeah. I mean, he's got to have some sort of foil. You know what I mean?

I'm not interested in Lex Luthor necessarily if he's just a politician slash crooked businessman who's doing shady things. It's Trump, do you get it? Yeah, right, right. We get it. Yeah, we get it, yeah. Luther would be a way better president than Trump anyway. I don't know. I would like to see, I would be 100% on board with a Lex Luthor movie

set in whatever universe we currently, the standard DCEU or whatever it is, and it's just him. Whatever that universe looks like. Yeah, whatever it looks like currently. Jesse Eisenberg. Yeah. Oh, maybe not him. Get John Corrin.

I don't care. And just his, maybe just him off on some sort of cosmic adventure in order to gather the power to defeat Superman. Yeah. And then he has to inadvertently be a hero somewhere else. You know what I mean? He's off in the cosmos. He's off trying to breach the source wall

so he can get the ultimate power to defeat Superman or whatever. See, I think you wouldn't even need to do that. I think you could just strictly do it like, you know, he grows up and he's neglected, and then he becomes super smart and he's resentful, and then he, you know. About against Superman? About Superman or whatever and his father,

and then he builds LexCorp or he takes it over, and then he becomes president. Yes. I would love to see that movie. You're right. In a world where there is also Superman and the Justice League. Yeah, right. Because you've talked about it before.

It's one of the interesting things about Lex Luthor is the fact that he's so intelligent is he's got these people who are dogging him 24-7. And he still became the president. And he still became president. Batman was on his heels and Superman, you know, he's got these people who were dogging him 24-7. And he still became the president. Batman was on his heels and Superman, you know, to uncover his crooked dealings, of which there are many.

He's attempted to destroy Metropolis multiple times and yet he still became the president. He's just that good. Yeah. Yeah, and I think that would be interesting. You're right. But again, that doesn't work in a universe like a Joker-style universe because then he's just a corrupt businessman doing crime and becoming the president and his name's Lex Luthor.

Aren't they all that in that universe maybe? Yeah. Or at least the one percenter. I don't want to talk about the Joker anymore. I'm sick of it. I'm even sick of the memes.

I never thought that would happen. I'll do a couple more weeks of memes. You've got to do the memes, mate. And the retweets. Okay. This is from

it says Chudders but the Chudders but the U is a V so it's Chuvders. Chuvders. Nice. Since Halloween is coming up, what's your favourite candy? Hashtag with your plan a pod.

I like Junior Mints a lot. I think they're very good. It's a dark chocolate. What about Senior Mints? That's not a thing. Senior Mints is my father. You son of a bitch. You idiot.

I don't know. What's your favourite Australian candy that Americans don't have? Rocks and spiders. None of those. That's not true. A sharp stick. Shrimp on the barbie. A sheep.

Whole. Unshaven. Just eat right through it. Yeah, nice. Not a sex thing. That's New Zealand. That's what they do. Yep.

What's Australian? Tim Tams? I don't know. What's Australian? I. That's what they do. Yeah, that's what they do. That's what they do. Yep. What's Australian? Tim Tams? I don't know. What's Australian? I don't know what's Australian until I go overseas and like, what, you don't have didgeridons? Yeah, exactly. That means they don't exist.

They're not real. That's something Americans would have, though. They'd have didgeridons. You'd buy them at the Outback Steakhouse. Yeah, that's right. I think the Violet Crumble is Australian. I love a Violet Crumble. I think a Violet Crumble is Australian.

I'd throw that to a Crunchy, actually. Crunchy is an American, I think, or British. Yeah, Australian. I love a Violet Crumble. I think a Violet Crumble is Australian. I'd throw that to a Crunchy, actually. Crunchy's are American, I think, or British. They have the Mars Bar. We have the Mars Bar. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. Is the Boost Australian? I think that's probably British.

Yeah. I love... Yes. Like, you go to a weird old sweet shop and just getting the sourest thing they possibly have. Like a sour strap. No, no, like the boiled ones that like melt your face. Butterfingers, they're delightful.

Those chocolate coated, peanutty, sugary things. Okay. Very nice. I'm just typing in Australian candy. We don't even call it candy here either. We call it lollies. Do you like Bertie Beatles? See, in order to explain Bertie Beatles, we also explain the concept of the show bag yeah but charlie clausen is the face of the show that's pretty weird right

you went to the show i just went to the show perfect opportunity so it's there's a thing in melbourne called the royal melbourne show which started as some sort of agricultural show i think and you go there and there's like cows and. But there's also this side business where you get show bags, which are plastic bags filled with assorted garbage. And they bring price ranges. Just get the ones with food. You can get one for like five bucks, but you also get one for like a hundred bucks.

Yeah. But they always contain, there'll be some combination of lollies, chocolates and assorted guns that fire darts or whatever that break by the time you get them home and there'll be a phantom comic in there. I wonder if they still, I didn't buy a show bag this year

but they probably still contain a phantom comic. Yes. And Bertie Beetle is like the... You can only really get them... Yeah, in, at the Royal Melbourne Show. It's just like a wrapped, foil-wrapped chocolate. Yes. It's got crunchy bits in it. I don't know.

I can't remember. I should have bought a Bertie Beetle. You should have. Yeah. I just looked up to see, because I saw Kit Kat kept coming up as Australian sweets. Yes. I know they have them in Japan,

but apparently they're not in the US. Oh. That cannot be right. That can't be right. That seems wrong. Inexplicably. Twisties, they're not... They're not in the US. Oh. That cannot be right. That can't be right. That seems wrong. Inexplicably. Ah, twisties. They're not.

They're not candy. Not candy, but that's coming up, isn't it? They are canonically Australian. Very good. And caramelic wailers, of course. Of course. They're all right. I like a caramel cobalt.

But you're right about violet crumbles. There you go. Yeah. Is that the show? I think that's the whole show. Good. Let's get out of here. Thank you, everybody, for listening. Thank you, everybody, for donating to our charity campaign. so there you go is that the show? I think that's the whole show good thank you everybody

I'm sending you a care package. It's a Birdie Beetle show bag, but the most expensive one. It's got two Phantom comics in it. He gets them for free. He's the face of. It's pretty incredible. Your gift is hollow. Also, I'm pretty sure I saw a man die at the Royal Women's Show.

You want to get into that? No. Come on. Maybe I'll save it for Don't You Know Who I Am. Okay. You're telling me that after the show, though. I'll tell you after the show. After we go to the show and we look at the body.
