Red hot comic book movie

news. Shooting up your butthole. The Weekly Planet. The Weekly Planet. Welcome back, everybody, to the first episode of the year of The Weekly Planet where we talk movies and comics and TV shows. My name is James, still also known as Mr. Sunday. With me as always is my co-host, still known as Nick Mason. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

How's it going? It's pretty good. It's good to be back, right? It's so good to be back. Feels good. Do you love podcasting and do you love news, catching up on news? Yeah. Could I combine the two somehow?

There's got to be a better way. There's got to be. Look, maybe we'll try and figure that out as we progress in whatever this is. Just the infomercial of me. It's me in black and white. I'm at a kitchen counter. Yep. And I'm trying to mix up news and podcast together.

And you've got a colander of loose spaghetti as well. Loose spaghetti and with newspapers in it and an old iPod and I'm just mixing it about but I'm slipping on marbles also. I'm sweating. Sweating profusely. My sleeve's all up and a tie down. Don't wear a tie in the kitchen. I mean you're a family man, that's why.

You're home from work. And then it crash zooms to my wife in the back of the kitchen. She's like, this guy, this absolute idiot. I love him, but look at him. He's Kevin James. He's Kevin James. That's right.

So what we're going to do, we're going to try and do it. Well, we are. We're going to do a news catch up because there's a bit of stuff we've missed. We've achieved that before, I feel. Yeah, I think so. It's not everything that happened over the three weeks or so we were off. But, you know, the big stuff. A lot of stuff happened. Yeah, I think so. It's not everything that happened over the three weeks or so we were off. But, you know, the big stuff. A lot of stuff happened.

Yeah, a lot of stuff happened. I consumed a lot of media. Yes, absolutely. And cereal. Me too. And then we're going to run through all the most anticipated, or not even, just stuff that's coming out this year and go, oh, that's not a good one already.

That's not anticipated? Yeah. How? Who thought that was a good idea? I bet this studio thought this was going to be most anticipated, but no, no, no, no. But no, no, no. But no, no, no. So to start with, this is relatively recent.

Disney is rebranding 20th Century Fox as 20th Century Studios. That's right. They're keeping the logo. And also Searchlight Pictures. Fox Searchlight is also just going to be Searchlight now. Okay, fair enough. Yeah. Okay.

I don't care. Yes, go on. That's really all. I mean, they bought it. I mean, it's to distinguish it from, I don't know, other Fox properties like, say, Fox News as an example. Yeah, sure. That's a good example of a different Fox property, yeah.

So, yeah, I think it's the end of an era, obviously, because that logo was synonymous with the movies that they made. Yes. Would you agree? Sure. Yeah. But it's a rebranding. Yeah, but also, I mean, it's just a letterbox format change.

They're just cutting the bit off the bottom. Exactly. It's like, oh, I'm so sad that we don't watch 4.3 television anymore. Who cares? You know, when the Star Wars Special Editions came out, do you remember in 1997 you could get them on VHS. Yep. And the gold box, which is for television, or was the silver box, which was widescreen.

I remember. Which did you buy? I got the gold box. Did you? I'm fairly confident. Really? I went the other way. Because I'm like, well, what are the odds I'll ever have a widescreen television?

I wanted to, even on like a little TV, I'm like, I want maximum Star Wars. Okay. Well, I think I wanted maximum. I wanted minimum black bars. I wanted the heights, exactly. Yeah, you're right. You're absolutely right. Because, of course, like five years later,

they released a mod DVD or whatever it was. So, you know. But I feel like at the time, I made a call and I stand by it. Absolutely. Yeah. I think Silver looks better as well. It's classy. Wow.

That's what I'm saying. You know, this is classy, Mason. Damon Lindelof's exit from Watchmen Season 2. Oh, yeah. He's like, I'm done. They went to him and they were like, you got any ideas? And he went, I'll think about it. And then he went, no.

No. I don't actually. He had a long think of whether I can fool people into thinking I have more. Yeah, absolutely. Another season or five in me. And I went, no. No.

So how do you feel about that? well I mean it's a funny thing in the sense that I would like to see more but I mean the finale was to me good enough and enjoyable and it gave us a it gave us a Watchmen-esque finale it gave us a finale

similar to the comic book Watchmen which is what's going to happen next Squids also and Doomsday Clock in 20 years 30 years? I would say finale is similar to the comic book Watchmen, which is what's going to happen next. Squids also. Squids and Doomsday Clock in 20 years. Yes, exactly, yeah. 30 years? Yeah, sure. So I think there's still a chance that HBO might move forward

on something else Watchmen related. I'm not sure they're ready to let it go just yet. Lube Man Origins. Yes. I mean, what's it to that? Do you think it's like an incident, like he was traumatised and then Lou got him out of it? Well, as we know from his PDP entry,

he was traumatised by not winning an essay competition when he was in school. Oh, really? Yeah. Okay. What was the essay for? So there's a, I think we've talked about it on the show, but there's an episode where we see Ozymandias,

he's reading a book, it's called Fog Dancing, and it's the book that inspired a lot of the heroes in the universe to become superheroes, and Petey did an essay on that, it was part of an essay competition, and it came last, and it traumatised him, so that's his origin. What kind of essay competition they rank them like? I don't know. Because normally it's like, this is the winner, and everything else was a close second. Right? Like that's...

Everybody gets a participation trophy. Everybody gets a blue ribbon. Yeah, absolutely. So, I don't know. We've got fourth place ribbons for some reason. Everybody gets one. I don't think, I would like to see the night owl thing that I mentioned specifically on this show,

just to find out what happened to him. It doesn't need to be the bigger end of the world stuff, just following him getting caught and just have him in prison. Just what's he doing in prison? How's that going? Bad, I'd imagine. Real bad. So it's called Watchmen, How's He Doing in Prison?

Night Owl Watchmen, How's He Doing in Prison? Colon, bad. Real bad. So no, I think it's good on him. Because why would you roll the dice on something that the chances of it being good in the first place were slim? Oh, slim to none, yeah. I mean, I've read some feedback on Twitter that's like, well, they didn't stick the landing on this.

Oh, really? Some people are unhappy. I know because you weren't wrapped in it, were you? You were like, yeah. No, but that's because I wanted Lube Man to come back. Sure. But, yeah, I agree. I don't think the last episode was the best episode.

Yeah, right. But, you know, that's fine. But again, we don't need to, you know, without spoiling anything about the final episode of Watchmen, we don't need to know where it goes from there. We could. Yeah. But if we don't, it's just imagine it.

Just imagine it. Can you imagine it as we did with Watchmen for the decades after Watchmen before we got any sequels to it? Whatever and whatnot. Absolutely. Do you want to do more TV news, Mason? Yes. Because Greg Berlanti's Green Lantern series, the head of content at HBO.

Greg Berlanti and his Green Lanties. That's right. That's good. That's what they're calling it. That's so good, Mason. Well done. You're back and you're in fine form, if you don't mind me saying so. Thank you.

So the head of HBO Max, Sarah Aubrey, says this Green Lantern show is going to span several decades and focus on two stories about Green Lanterns on Earth, and it's going to go into the Sinestro story. So there you go. So Greg Belanti is obviously responsible for a lot of the CW stuff. We've talked about this before, but it's a more serious kind of high-budget Green Lantern story. Maybe they'll tie it into the movies.

And I say that because Ezra Miller was was in the crisis spoilers spoilers spoilers it's everywhere it is everywhere i'll put it in the comments but yeah yeah that's true so i was fun i mean i watched the clip okay did you watch the show i did watch the show okay yeah so it was a good finale i think i think the last the last two episodes were the best two episodes, I feel like. Was it light on cameos from previous universes, like your Smallvilles and your Random Ralph Supermans and that? Yes, but, I mean, a lot of them did get a... They got a little send-off. Some of them got a send-off.

Oddly, but, again, it's one of those things where some didn't, but then the showrunners have been approached by fans Like, what happened to Lois and Clark in Smallville? They're fine, just to be clear I didn't think they weren't Well, don't worry I wasn't It was a little twinge of worry though, I could sense it in you

Not a show that I like, so I'm not When you sent me all those texts that are like Where are you? We're recording, you're late I'm like, it feels like a tinge of worry He's worried about lois and dark from smallville but they're fine they're fine this is fine did you know ezra miller was in it before some idiot like me spoiled it for you no i didn't oh wow so so apparently the water brothers movie department approached them about it i see that's the way it went which is interesting because

it seems i think that i think that's going to help. Because the Flash show and the CW stuff, I would say on the whole, it's maybe not as well known, but it's better received by fans, I would say. On the whole, that's the exception. And it's very cheesy, but at the same time, it is comic books on screen. It's as close as we're going to get, I think. And it's better than other shows that were started in 2002, for example. Birds of Prey. Birds of Prey, yeah.

Which we looked at recently. Sure did. Didn't they just? Yeah. But no, I watched the clip. It was fun. And did you like how Guston Grant, Grant Guston. Grant Guston, yes.

Get a proper name where you can't reverse it. Agreed, yeah. He gave The Flash his name, I guess. Yeah, that's true, yeah, because he didn't have one. It's never said in the... I guess it isn't. I can't remember. But we watched it.

We did a commentary on it. I know, but I still can't remember it. Neither of us can remember it. Surely Lex Luthor's computer database system, surely he named the file Flash. I think it was just lightning. It was the lightning bolt logo that he got mocked up by an intern. Yeah, maybe that's probably true.

Fantastic stuff. In confusing news, ex-Markiner star Oscar Isaac will star in the great... I'm not finished! Ex-Markiner star Oscar Isaac will star in the Great Machine adaptation, which is an adaptation of the Brian K. Vaughan's comic, Ex-Markiner. Yeah. This has been in the pipeline for a long time. Yes.

Many years. And then when Ex Machina the movie came out, I'm like, what are they going to do with this? Because Ex Machina the comic book has the same name. Yes. But now the solution is clear. Just get Oscar Isaac in again. And that's fine, isn't it?

Yeah, exactly. I mean, I think most people don't know this comic. Oh, for sure. So it's not going to make a difference. So it's basically about a guy who was a technopath superhero. Yeah, so basically. I have read it but it was like 10 years ago. So it's this guy, his name is Mitch Hundred

and he was like a city worker like in New York City and he was on like a boat just doing surveys and stuff and he found a weird alien machine in the bay and it explodes in his face. And then he can sort of control and communicate with machinery with his mind. Yes. And in this universe, he stops one of the towers being destroyed in 9-11, one of the World Trade Center towers.

And then after that, he runs for mayor and he becomes the mayor of the city. So it's kind of – it's – And there's distrust because he's this superhuman being, isn't there? All the people trying to assassinate him and stuff. Yeah, I mean, sure. It's partially kind of West Wing-esque kind of political machinations, but it's also like, hey, how did that guy get his powers? What's going on there?

What's the background of this? Do they solve it? I don't really remember. Do we want to spoil it here? No, no, no, because I want to read it again, I think. Maybe I didn't finish it. You know, I think what happened, because remember when I went to Africa? I don't know if you know this about me, Mason, but I've traveled extensively.

You gave me a bunch of comics. And I think you gave me that one, but it maybe wasn't complete or it wasn't finished at the time. So I might only have been about halfway through it. Yeah, right. So yeah, so he also gains, I've forgotten, he also gains the ability to kind of like, he dreams of fantastic machines And then he can build them So like jetpacks and ray guns

Is he enhanced like mechanically? No, but he's got like Lines in his head? Yeah, he's got lines in his head That's okay I mimed lines in his head And I knew what you meant I was all over it

You picked up the ball and you ran with it But that's exciting I like the sound of that And it's going to be a movie, not a TV series I believe so, yes. Oscar Isaac doesn't do TV, Mason, unless he does and has. Which he may have. Or did he?

I've never seen him on TV. Really? White screen or? Oh, you know what? Maybe because I've only got the 4.3. Maybe he was on the sides and I never saw him. Could have been on both sides for all I know. That's right.

But that's exciting. That's a great series if you haven't read it out there. I'm surprised it hasn't been. Is it Dark Horse? I think it's Image. Okay. As women, our life stages come with unique risk factors, like high blood pressure developed during pregnancy,

A few trailers this week. Some of them I think we'll talk about when we talk about those upcoming movies, including Black Widow and Bloodshot. Because, you know, we've already had trailers for that. It's the big news of this week, Mason, and I can't believe we're finally getting it. Imagine a world where a man, a sinister-looking creep of a man, he gets bat powers or whatever.

I love his shorts. Yeah, and then he does that thing where he cuts the inside of his palm which people do you know when people it always bothers me in shows when they're like look this needs blood

and they cut like right across the inside of your palm cut in a different spot we'll be talking about it later but I watched I didn't watch all of Dracula I thought it was shorter

than it was Dracula oh the TV series the Netflix BBC series one. And yeah, there is one of those. There's a scene where a nun just fully slices through her hand for a couple of drops of blood.

Just prick your finger. Prick your finger. Do it on the forearm. Yeah. You know, like on the outside of your forearm. Blood nose. Get a needle. Get a needle.

Get a syringe and get some extracted professionally. Keep it in a little jar. I just don't get it. It's just not a good place. Cough some up. Cough some up. Yeah, get consumption and cough it up. I feel like, I don't know, it just always bothered me.

It's like, can you imagine just having a big gash across your hand and then you've got to do adventures? For ages. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, the trailer. Every time you close your hand on something, it'll probably rip. Yeah, exactly. Yuck.

I'm not really. What are we talking about, Morbius? Morbius. It's fine as the trailer. Every time you close your hand on something, it'll probably rip. Yeah, exactly. Yuck. I'm not really. What are we talking about, Morbius? Morbius. It's fine as a trailer. I'm not a really big Jared Leto fan. I feel like origin-wise and trailer-wise, it feels almost identical to the Venom trailer. I mean, at least they show things.

Yeah, right. Because when the Venom trailer was like, what is this? Oh, maybe you meant second Venom trailer. Yeah, that's more accurate, I would say. Well, it is. Well, it's a Sony. It feels very much like, I is this? Oh, maybe you meant second Venom trailer. Yeah, that's more accurate. Well, it is. Well, it's a Sony. It feels very much like, I guess it feels very much like, just do a Spider-Man origin again.

Yeah. His experiments and his people kick him while he's down. But look, now he's got big ol' abs. He's Jewish. Or is he Greek Orthodox? Who said that? It was Alexei. It was Alexei Taliaf. He said he's Greek Orthodox.

That's exciting. Right, right. I don't think we've seen that before. So the weird thing about, I've done a video on it this week, which Matt has edited. It's on the deal between Marvel and Sony and how they all tie together and how it all works. Now, this is probably a spoiler for-

That video? For that video and a spoiler for... I spoiled Crisis, so... Yeah, that's true. This is a spoiler for the Morbius trailer. Yeah. I guess there's kind of a... In the last 10 seconds of the trailer, there's a big spoiler potentially for many things.

Yeah. Not just the Morbius movie, but for other things. So if you don't want to know, skip ahead. Yeah. Spoiler, at the end of the Morbius trailer, Adrian Toombs shows up. Michael Keaton's character from Spider-Man Homecoming, the Vulture, shows up. I assume it's him. I mean, who else?

And there's also an image of Spider-Man in it, but it's from the video game? It's the, yeah. Like, it's the Tobey Maguire suit, but it's from the PS4 video game where you can get that suit. If you Google, prior to this trailer, if you Google Raimi Spider-Man, it was literally the first picture, but it was from the PS4 video game, but just switched around. They flipped it, yeah. They flipped it and they wrote murder on it.

So presumably the production designer was just like, fine, Spider-Man, we probably own this, here we go. Yeah, and they're not wrong, they do. Yeah, I don't think that was thought through, fine, Spider-Man. We probably own this. Here we go. Yeah, and they're not wrong. They do. Yeah, I don't think that was thought through at all, that picture. So what basically, to summarize my video, there's more to it than that. It's way more interesting than what I'm going to put.

There's jokes in it and everything, mate. You're going to love it, Mason. You're going to shit bricks. More than my jokes? No, not that good. He admitted it. He admitted I do jokes. I got him.

He was just trying to move through. I was trying to move through. But I tricked him. Because Sony own all the Spider-Man characters for the moment and then can license them to whatever, then they can just spin off their own movies into whatever. So it's technically not the MCU. It doesn't have the logo.

It's kind of like the James Bond situation where a different company could make James Bond movies despite being not connected to the other one. But I guess Marvel are just like, okay, what can we do? We don't own any of this. Right. Well, it's interesting that they went, not only they went with,

I assume this is the Vulture. It has to be. It has to be, right? Because otherwise what a, unless it's some sort of super disappointing fake out where it's just Michael Keaton's just playing some guy. Yeah. And they're like, we'll get a little bit of hype going. Absolutely.

Making people think. Yeah, exactly. That's right. But, you know, anything can be good, including this movie Morbius. Who's directing it? Do you remember? No. Do you think it's going to be, do you think they're going to name him?

Or do you think he's just going to appear? Do they say Michael Morbius in it? No, I mean. I mean. Oh, I think they will. Yeah, right. Yeah. But this has implications.

Unless, you know what, Marvel's Kevin Feige is probably just going to be like, it's a separate universe. Yeah. That has the Spider-Man villains in it, but it's not us. Because otherwise now living vampires are in this and also presumably regular vampires. Because they're doing Blade.

Yeah, right. So I don't think they're going to necessarily tie Blade to, because Blade in the comics, which I didn't know I think could do what you told me, because I just knew the movie really. He's bitten by Morbius, isn't he? Is that right? Well, yes. Or one version.

That's his secondary origin. He's bitten by Morbius, yes. What's his first origin? His first origin is the origin in the movies. Right. So his mother was bitten. Yeah. And that gave him sort of super generic,

like it gave him very limited abilities. But then they were like, we've got to give him the powers from the movies. That's right. So they haven't bitten by Morbius. He was impervious to vampire bites, even though he had other vague. Yeah, it was a bit vague. And they're like, let's make him more superhero-y.

This guy did the movie Life. Do you remember that? That people thought was like a Venom prequel. Oh, that's right. And it was just Dummies in Space, I remember. that's right. And it was just Dummies in Space. I remember. It was. They should have called it

Dummies in Space. Yeah. So there you go. I don't know. It'll be interesting to see what... I have more faith in the animation stuff that Sony's been doing

with Spider-Man. Yeah. For obvious reasons. But hey, if they want to make a billion spin-off stuff, that's fine. I mean,

Marvel have cut loose stuff before. They cut loose Netflix. They didn't say that it didn't count, but they cut it loose. And they might say it doesn't count down the line. They cut loose all the ABC TV stuff though they might be developing something else at the moment. Well, now we have a multiverse of madness

or very limited amounts of Disney-approved madness. They can really just say, yeah, Netflix, that was a parallel universe. Doesn't count. None of our characters know who these guys are. Yes. So who do you think the villain's going to be in Morbius? Oh, they've mentioned it.

It's... I do know this. I know Tyrese Gibson's in it. Oh, so it's Tyrese Gibson, the actor. I don't believe so. Oh. What have we got here? I don't know.

There's just a bunch of people I don't recognise. What's going on here, Mason? Is that the villain? Morbius opens the door and he's like, oh, my God, it's a bunch of people I don't know. There's just a bunch of people I don't recognise. What's going on here, Mason? Is that the villain? Morbius opens the door and he's like, oh my God, it's a bunch of people I don't recognise. They just hit him with sticks. Matt Smith. The villain's Matt Smith.

Has low-axe-y crown. Morbius' friend who suffers from the same rare blood condition. Join the film, blah, blah, blah. So he's going to be infected by the whatevers and become a slightly different coloured version of Morbius And then they're going to fight at the end A la Venom But they're going to have beautiful flowing hair

That sounds incredible Maybe Matt Smith will be cut out of this movie as well He was Star Wars So there you go Actually you had an interesting thought about Doctor Who But why don't we We've got questions about Doctor Who So I might save it till after

Okay let's save it till after Because I thought that was what you brought up It's a good thing you mentioned it Because I did watch some Doctor Who this week And I forgot about it So we I might save it till after because I thought that was re-mentioning what you brought up it's a good thing you mentioned it because I did watch some Doctor Who this week and I forgot about it so we can talk about it

I've watched so much content these last couple of weeks hot stuff hot stuff you watched Bonanza you watched the Bonanza reboot

that they did like 20 years on sexy Bonanza yes they're all like Daisy Dukes yeah so

and it's got a dubstep theme it goes Yes. They're all in Daisy Dukes. Yeah. And it's got a dubstep theme. It goes... It's not good. It's not good. It's real bad. But you mentioned, Dr. Strange, the multiverse of madness. Yes. And that's interesting to me, Mason.

First of all, my segues are just on point this year. I'm also back in a big bad way. Yours is jokes, mine is segues. That's what we bring to this, I feel. I think so too, yeah. Sure. Scott Derrickson has amicably parted ways. The son of a Derrick.

I know, that's right. He has creative differences, et cetera, and so forth. He got fired. They fired him. Yes, everybody wishes each other, et cetera, and so forth. He got fired. They fired him. Yes, everybody wishes each other well. Yeah, sure. Yeah. He wanted to do something slightly different than the normal Marvel formula,

so they fired him. The speculation is that he was kind of pushing for more of a horror film. Yeah, because he's a horror guy. He's a horror guy. He did the one about Bagul, the guy who lives in your photos and makes your kids murder you or whatever. Oh, Bagul, the guy in the photos. I remember that. Yeah, he wrote that the guy in the photos. I remember that.

Yeah, he did write that with one of the guys from Spill. Remember Spill? No. That spun off into various other properties, including Double Toasted. So, yeah, we remain grateful to Scott for his contributions to the MCU. He's staying on as a producer or something. I think it's just like you've got your name on this because you wrote some of this.

Okay, right, right, right. Hey, what do you think of this, Scott? I don't like it. Too bad. You're fired. We're doing it anyway. Thanks for your contribution. Yeah.

So I think it was maybe one of the guys who were fired off Solo, Lord Ormilla, was like, welcome to the club. Yeah, right. Because it's like him. It's like Edgar Wright. It's everybody who's ever tried to make a Star Wars movie. Yeah, right. All these people have been fired by Disney or a big studio.

I bet Jon Favreau's like, man, I'm glad I got in first. Yeah. Because if I'd got in second, they would have fired me. Yes, exactly. Straight away. If they'd done Thor as well, this would be the Kenneth Branagh cinematic universe. I think it goes to show that people have more faith in the Marvel stuff than the Star Wars stuff because this isn't really, like it was news, but it wasn't like. It didn't shake the earth to its foundations. It's like Star Wars stuff because this isn't really, like it was news but it wasn't like.

It didn't shake the earth. Like Star Wars. Because when Star Wars happens it's like again? Yeah. But Marvel have done it like. Yeah. At least two or three times. I can't remember how many.

That's how they get us. That's how they get us. We forget how many times they've done it. And that not including like the directors like Alan Taylor who did Thor the Dark World who just disappeared. What off the face of the earth? He disappeared, mate. Incredible.

No, he made Terminator Genisys, which is the same as disappearing. It really is, isn't it? Yeah, because if you want to disappear for good, make a Terminator film. Another Matt Smith brief appearance. That's true. That's right, yeah. So I like the first Doctor Strange.

I don't think it's groundbreaking. But you're not a huge fan because there's not enough weird stuff, is that right? Yeah, I feel. But, I mean, they've improved the character of. Yes. When I say they've improved the character, they've improved the number of magic spells he does.

Yes. But, yeah, as you mentioned, I really like him in Infinity War. I think that's really strong and his abilities, what they show and whatever. So I was interested to see what Scott Derrickson could then do from a horror background with a guy who's more powered up. I think we can still get that, but it's kind of a shame that he doesn't get to do that version of this.

Or even a guy who's more powered down, I would take. I would appreciate that. I mean, there's been plenty of storylines in Doctor Strange comics over the years where he's been more or less powerful or he loses the... And he's using magical items instead. Yeah, and he's lost the Sorcerer Supreme title or he's just... The cloak broke up with him.

The cloak broke up with him, exactly. Have we had the cloak conversation? About what it is? Yeah. It's a demon! It really is. But, you know, or just, you know, I was, you know, when they, you know, I was, you know, when they said multiverse of madness and then kind of, you know, more horror elements, I was picturing sort of maybe a Cthulhu-style universe.

Like a first Hellboy kind of. Yeah, we've seen elements in the first Hellboy and stuff like that where it's, you know, him just walking through like dirty Victorian-era shipyards with a lantern or whatever. Oh, yeah. That sounds good. You know, and I kind of was maybe even looking forward to one where the hero is of a smaller scale, like Statue, where it's like,

well, he can't just bust out the spell where he's 50 guys and he can shoot lasers out of his hands. He's got to survive on his wits and his knowledge as opposed to that. But I think it's just going to be him turning into 50 guys and shooting laces again so i think we're going to get some firecracker kung fu which is your favorite i think we're gonna get firecracker i hope it's not all firecracker kung fu well because see that's the thing i think that he's again i like it and i think it went for the first one but yeah i think the upgraded magic worked in infinity war because it's him versus thanos and ebony moore and giant rock monsters and you know in effectively thanos in those movies is invulnerable to everything so it kind of works

that he's just shooting out this spectacular he's doing everything yeah exactly so i feel like it would work better in a in a if this isn't a universe shattering movie it's just him i like that idea of like a victorian era almost like jack the ripper-esque kind of yeah right because he'll often do like he'll there's that i can't what's the name of the comic i can't remember where he's trying to solve the guy who tried to murder him oh the omen yeah but he's doing the oath yeah he's doing it out of body yeah so he stripped away his powers and that while he's maybe also performing surgery on himself or something. I can't remember. It's a great comic. Yeah.

So, yeah, that's interesting. I mean, it would work on both levels. Like, I always think about Superman movies. It would be great to put him in the- A t-shirt and jeans. T-shirt and jeans. We'll talk about Titans later as well. But, like, put him in, you know, out in deep space with the crazy cosmic,

out-of-space alien stuff where he's a small fish in a big pond. He's the least interesting person. Yeah, he's the least interesting but also the least powerful kind of thing. So he can be knocked around kind of thing. I think it would be good to see a Doctor Strange where he is tumbling through infinite dimensions and fighting gigantic Surtur-style demons and all that sort of stuff. But I think it would also be fun to see him in kind of a, you know,

like a Black Hammer universe where maybe he just appears in a weird town and he can't escape it. And he's like. And they beat him up. And they beat him up with sticks, like from earlier. He's like, oh, no, it's Morbius' ultimate foes. Those people I don't know with sticks. I guess this is a shared universe. Or at least a multiverse.

Ow. Great stuff. Anyway, Doctor Strange. It's going to be 50 guys with lasers. I don't know. 50 different guys with lasers. Got a hot scoop, Mason. Oh, my goodness.

Exclusive hot scoop too hot. How? Now, remember, if you're from the trades, if you're from A-Trade, minor website, major website. If you're from the trades, if you're from A-Trade, minor website, major website. If you're Variety Magazine. If you're from WeGotThisCovered.com, renowned for not being accurate with your rumors and scoops. Somebody on Twitter looked into it, and apparently it's like 1.3% of their articles turn out to be accurate or something like that. And a lot of that's chance, I'd imagine.

I'd say so, yeah. It's chance and roughly guessing. That's less than like a coin flip, like much less than a coin of that's chance, I'd imagine. I'd say so, yeah. It's chance and roughly guessing. That's less than like a coin flip, like much less than a coin flip. Yeah, for sure. Anyway, for those trades listening and we got this covered.com, this is our hot scoop or shot of poop segment. Yes. So if you're quoting this hot scoop, you have to say where it's from,

what it's called, and you have to stipulate that if the scoop turns out to be wrong, one of the hosts, James Mr Sunday Movies, has to I guess drink a shot of poop? It's never been entirely clear. But that's the rules and I don't make the rules. You do make the rules. You need to be clear that I don't make the rules.

But we have to abide by the rules and that is if this is wrong James has to do a shot of poop. This all must be in the article. We've been loose with the rules before. And they have to be like 300 words, and that is if this is wrong, James has to do a shot of poop. This all must be in the article. Yeah, absolutely. We've been loose with the rules before. And they have to be like 300 words long. I know that for SEO.

So this is good if you can explain all this up top before the scoop. Put it in the first few paragraphs. You need like five to six paragraphs of nothingness before you get to the thing. So we all have to scroll past the ads and the little click things for the mobile games or whatever. So just put the filler in, the things we said. And here's the scoop. Okay.

Is this anything? Yeah, no, I think so. Okay. I can't say who this is from, but basically Michelle Yeoh is going to be starring in Shang-Chi. She's not on the cast list. I Googled her and it hasn't been mentioned. There's only a few people who have been named,

Akwafina being one. Simu Liu who's playing Shang-Chi. It's not called Master of... No, it's called Legend of the Ten Rings. Sorry. It's a Mandarin story. Maybe she'll be Mandarin. Oh, twist. But don't put that in the article because

then people are like, a woman can't be a Mandarin. A woman can't be a dragon or a Mandarin or anything. A woman can't be a dragon or a Mandarin or anything. A woman can't wear rings, ten rings. A woman's hands aren't strong enough for ten rings. Only a man can hold ten rings. She'd be too encumbered by the rings. She couldn't leap high enough.

Does one of them mean that she's married? I hope so. Oh, God. Okay, so the other one is that she's also going to be returning for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 as Starhawk. Of course, she shows up as one of the original Guardian members in Vol. 2, so she will be back. So she's going to have two roles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

That's happened before. Gemma Chan was in Captain Marvel and she's going to be in Eternals. That cop from Avengers was also Peggy Carter's boyfriend until Captain America stole her. That's right. So, yeah, that cucked cop, put that in your article. People will love it. So, yeah, so there you go.

Michelle Yeoh is Shang-Chi and also Guardians 3. So I wouldn't mind a Guardians team-up of different teams because they've established the other teams in the universe. That's true. The other team, they're not called the Guardians though, are they? They're a Ravager team. Ravagers, yes. That's right.

They're either the Ravagers or the Scavengers. That's right. Those guys. So anyway, I really like Michelle Yeoh and that's cool, I think. Yeah, wow. Anyway, Hot Scoop, Shot of Poop segment, the Weekly Planet podcast. Yep. Especially you, We Got This Covered. That's think. Yeah, wow. Anyway, hot scoop, shot or poop segment, the Weekly Planet Podcast. Yep.

Especially you, we got this covered. That's right. We're watching. We're watching you. We like what you do. That's right. But you're bad at it. Yeah.

Okay. Yeah. We like your spirit. Yeah. We like your can-do attitude. Yeah. But you should stop. I mean, we're probably more accurate than 1%

and that's like, that's unacceptable. Right? Quite frankly. Yes. Okay. Star Wars Forever frankly. Yes. Okay. Star Wars Forever, Mason. Oh, yep. Fair enough.

So. I thought we were free of it. No, Mason. A few glorious weeks, we were free of it. The Mandalorian was finished. People had stopped talking about The Rise of Skywalker.

Have they? People are doing the Ben Solo shrug on Twitter. I guess they're doing that, yeah. They're all doing it. It's a good shrug. Yeah. It's my favourite bit. So the Hollywood Reporter says that Taika Waititi is being approached for a Star Wars film.

I don't mind that, but I also like his weird independent films as well. So whatever. Yeah. It's kind of that vibe of if he gets locked into the big budget Star Wars cycle, will he do a boy or a hunt for the wilder people again? I feel like he's a one for one kind of guy. Yeah, maybe. I'm hoping that, yeah.

Because obviously he directed one of the episodes of Mandalorian. He's worked with Disney before. There was rumours also from making Star Wars that the next era of Star Wars movies is going to be set 400 years in the past of, I guess the original trilogy in the high Republic era. So the only characters that kind of could be around,

apparently like Yoda's going to be in it, but he's not going to be the Yoda that you know, Mason and love. It's going to be baby Yoda. No, he'll be like teenage Yoda. He'll be like 500. Yeah,

I guess he will be like teenage Yoda. So we have, I don't know, 10 rings. He's got six fingers. Yeah, for sure. I don't know, ten rings. He's got six fingers. Yeah, for sure. I don't know what he's about. He'll probably have a cool teen haircut, maybe the Hawkeye haircut.

A lot of people also apparently really like that haircut. I mean, a lot of people like it. It is a dumb haircut. I would argue that objectively. Look, I would argue, and I feel we came to a pretty. It's not just the haircut, though. It's like him. It's the him, yeah.

I think other people Can and do carry off that haircut But he doesn't I agree But I was going to say I feel like You were saying that Taika Waititi Is a guy who might do one for one

He'd do a Star Wars And you'd do an independent thing Yes But I feel like there are a lot of people Who attempted to do that Oh And they've done a big thing And then they've done a one

Yeah And then Disney's been like Do you want 20 million dollars and or like you know like and then they've they've they've done a star wars or a jurassic world as an example sure and then book of henry then they've done the book of henry and then then a big franchise owner has been like you're not doing any more yes i'm saying that's you might be right because we are mutually deciding to not pursue this anymore. Yes, exactly. So what do you think about that, though? The idea is also that it might be tied into this new thing that's coming up called Project Luminous.

Project Luminous? This is Star Wars rumoured project. It is happening. It's a series of branded nightlights for children? Potentially. They're like lightsabers, but they really work. So if your kid reaches out, panics in the middle of the night and touches one.

Cuts their hands off. Cuts their hands off. Good, good, good. And you learn a lesson in that. You learn a lesson and also that's if you want your infant to be indoctrinated into Star Wars as soon as they're born, the instant they're born. Yeah.

Okay, Project Luminous, I'm for it. Me too. But what it really is is a whole lot of interconnected media, it seems like, including video games, comics, books, as it always is. So it's going to be like maybe not this in particular. It's an extended universe. It's Marvel but Star Wars and it's separate from the original stuff, basically, because they've gone into the past.

So they can do whatever they want. I guess that's true. But also they can put Yoda in it and he can be on the posters and whatever. Sexy Yoda. So we're in an, we're in an era of George Lucas doesn't have control of this anymore. So we can do as much Yoda stuff as we want. Oh my God.

Hot stuff, Mason. Yeah. Cause I figured also they don't want to go into the future cause they'll end up doing that at some point. I don't think Star Wars ever really goes. And then they'll come to earth. Yeah,

exactly. And then they'll come to Earth. Yeah, exactly. Then they'll come to Earth. I know the expanded universe did go into the future, but that's when we weren't getting sequels. That's true, yeah. I think George Lucas was always going to make them, so he was just like, oh, scrap all this shit, I don't care. So, yeah. But the other thing is there's been a leaked Colin Trevorrow script.

I was going to say Project Luminous. What do you think of the name just before that? I think it might even be a code name or whatever. I like it. It's fine. Oftentimes the code name's better than the real thing. You know how Microsoft's always like Project Scorpio and we're like, what's Project Scorpio?

And they're like, it's the Xbox. Xbox One. It's called Scorpio. The new one's called Xbox One 2. Yeah, something like that. Xbox, we're back. Xbox One S or something. Anyway, sorry. I don't 2. Yeah, something like that. Xbox, we're back. Xbox One S or something. Anyway, sorry.

I don't know. Yeah, Trevorrow. So the script leaked. Apparently this is real from multiple sources. I'm trying to work out. We're going to do something with it. Is this a full script? Full script or a synopsis.

Somebody had it and kind of read through it. I'm not going to do every single detail. And people are saying this is better. This is the version they should have made or whatever but the first version of the script, and there's a couple that have been released, this was before The Last Jedi came out before Carrie Fisher died where she plays

a major role. It's got things like no emperor, Kylo has a Sith holocron thing exploding his face and he has Mandalorian metal kind of sewn in more layers I mentioned. Luke's harassing Kylo in Darth Vader's castle. He's like, I'm a ghost and be better.

Be better. So I think there's a lot of ideas in this that I think sound- Where's the bathroom in this place? It's a weird location. It's full of lava. How does anyone get anywhere? Darth Vader doesn't have a bathroom. He'd have like a tube or something.

He'd have a tube. It'd be in his egg, wouldn't it? It'd be in his weird egg. That thing is probably mostly toilet, I'd imagine. Yeah. Just flushing fluids. It's like one of those freestanding self-cleaning toilets you see in the city or whatever.

Some of the best. Sometimes the door just comes down and it's like, cleaning in progress. And Darth Vader's like, but I'm in here. And then just sprays him with water. Sometimes he just shows up and it's damp and he's like, oh, God. Do they dry on the inside, though? I don't think so.

I never used one just after. I think they just stay wet until they're not wet anymore. Well, that's great, isn't it? I agree. Yeah, so I think there's a lot of ideas that I really like. I think it's more unique than The Rise of Skywalker. But again, this was something that they wouldn't have made because Carrie Fisher died.

Yeah, right. Because scripts change and things change. And also a lot of The Last Jedi is like, not The Last Jedi. I think it's a better name as well. It's called Jewel of Fates or Jewel of the Fates, which is the song. The famous song. Like The Rise of the Skywalker or The Rise of Skywalker, whatever it is,

I think it's not a good title. I understand. Even take the that off it. Rise of Skywalker sounds better than the Rise of Skywalker, I feel. But you've got The Last Jedi, the Rise of Skywalker. Anyway, I'm going to get into it. Too late, you have. Anyway, it's also about people sucking the force energy out of each other

or whatever. Yeah. Wait, which one is? Rise of Skywalker. This one. Okay. The other one. All right. So there you go. So we'll never know out of each other or whatever. Yeah. You know? Wait, which one is? Rise of Skywalker? This one. Okay. The other one. All right.

So there you go. So we'll never know whether it's good or not. But what I think is my prediction. Okay. And there's no way of proving this because I'll be dead before it happens. I think there's a chance that Disney will retcon a lot of this movie in the future, either by saying that Rey's really not a Palpatine and it was a Sith trick and whatever. Are they going to turn it away immediately?

Or they wipe the movie. Oh, you mean in like 30 years? Yeah. Right, okay. Not immediately. Yeah. I think like, because depending on how it's received in like 20 years' time, because maybe people will grow to love it.

I guess so, yeah. So maybe it won't change at all. But I think, you know, they do retcon stuff that happens. And that's what happens with movies as well. They go, oh, that one's no good. We got rid of it. That one doesn't count anymore. That's true.

Have they ever done that for a Star Wars? Ewok Adventures and all the Legends stuff. I guess that's true, yeah. And most of the cartoons. But none of the major ones. They haven't. No. No.

It's just a prediction. Although I guess technically The Rise of Skywalker has retconned a lot of The Last Jedi, so. Yeah, that's what I mean. It could be just that, or it could be as bold as that movie doesn't count. Yeah. Yes. Well, Shadow of the Empire

was a major Lucasfilm multimedia project, Mason. Oh, a real project. Yes, it was. It was everything but a movie and they got rid of that. I did a video on it. I don't know if you saw it, but it was too long.

Listen up, Mason. Luminous. It's like Luminous Beings. You know, Yoda says it. He has a line about luminous being that's where it comes from uh anyway is there could they have replaced in this trevorrow script could they have replaced leia with a different character akbar no they blew him out they blew him up yeah yeah akbar's son avtab whatever his name is yeah yeah his eyes are

even more on the side of his head i don't know know if you've seen him. Slackbar. He's his stoner son? Yeah, that's right. His stoner son, Slackbar. He's got two sons. The one you mentioned and Slackbar. Great. So it's like Colin Hanks and Jack Black from the movie Orange County. Yep, exactly.

Have you seen it? No, but from the context, I can kind of figure out what you're talking about. Yeah, you know what's going on, don't you? Yeah, that's right. Yeah. So, yes. But now he's going to straighten up and fly right because his dad died in that. You know it.

In that exploding ship. That's right. Yeah, you could definitely. You could. I was going to say Laura Dern. She exploded. You could give that stuff to Nigh and Numb. You give it to Lando.

Give it to Lando. There you go. He's like, I'm the new leader because everyone died. So I'm the leader now. Yeah. I'm the oldest. I've got a cane to hit young people with if I don't agree with them. That's right.

Shine your shoes, slack bar. I want him to have Biff Tannen's cane with a fist on the end to sit people with it. Yes. Yeah. And which of the women there are his daughter? Half at least. At least.

Absolutely. Yeah. So there you go. Also, this is sort of Star Wars related, but... Everything is a bit Star Wars related. Yeah. Well, Rian Johnson looks like he's going to be doing a follow-up to Knives Out. The Benoit... Spoons in.

Yeah, spoons in, that's right. What's his name? Benoit Blanc? Benoit Blanc, yes. Yeah. Exactly, yeah. So that's 2021 that's aiming for, which means he's not doing a Star Wars movie anytime soon, I guess,

if he's doing that. I'd rather a Knives Out sequel. Quite frankly, me too. Yeah. I mean, I'd like to see him go back to Star Wars, but why would he, quite frankly? Yep. Seems like a nightmare.

Yeah. Just the people yelling at him and talking about it. Oh, yeah, for sure. I mean, and also, you know, everyone gets fired all the time. Before we talk about the most anticipated movies, Mason. Yes. Patreon is important to us because it helps keep the show on the ground, doesn't it?

It helps keep us grounded. The more money we have keeps us more. The more grounded we are, exactly right. We appreciate that. Because our pockets are filled with golden coins, and we cannot float away. That's right. Into a stratosphere.

That's right. It's linked below at patreon.com slash MrSundayMovies. I'm throwing up more polls this year for what people want for Caravan of Garbage in particular. That's great, yeah. Early videos as well. I put one up for what people want for The Dark Universe. That's why The Mummy is coming through on tuesday great uh the mummy

1999 of course it's a good one we were we watched that recently i didn't know the star wars one that's coming up and i'm some i try and do one of them every week or couple i i guess uh patreoners could also suggest episode 100 as well yeah that'd be great as well that'd be really good so yeah maybe yeah maybe we could do that so if you want to chuck a buck you want to keep the lights on in here keep us grounded keep us grounded you want to keep the lights on in here, keep us grounded. Keep us grounded. You know?

Just keep us like you. Because when we're free and poor, we could go and do anything. We're too loose. Exactly. We need a giant golden anchor around our neck, chaining us to this studio, doing content that people want. You know it. Anyways, Mason, this is via Rotten Tomatoes, the list that I've got here. It's the 74 most anticipated movies of 2020. Oh, we, this is via Rotten Tomatoes, the list that I've got here. It's the 74 most anticipated movies of 2020.

Oh, we're going to believe Rotten Tomatoes, are we? I mean, yep. Because it's a list of things? It's a list of things that are coming out this year. Oh, they're not perfect. I've also written here, subject to change. Sounds biased to me. Yeah, well, it is.

Subject to change and also where you are might be different when they come out. So I've just broken it down into months. I didn't do specific dates. That being said, people don't seem to really correct us as much on this show as they do on YouTube, where they constantly correct us. Like the time I called General Grievous a droid and I've never stopped hearing about it.

Oh yeah. What is he? I mean, he's a cyborg, but is there a technical Star Wars term for that? I think he's a cyborg. He's a cyborg. Yeah.

I also say it again. Or is he a Grievous? It's like a Frankenstein. He's just a Grievous. In that new, I can't wait, because in that new Morbius Sony video I did, how the universe is connected, I call him a Dracula. I don't say vampire the entire time. I say Dracula throughout the entire thing.

Great. It'll be the first few days that people will be like, oh, he's just doing that dumb thing that he does. But then a weekend, I'm going to hear about it. Oh, my goodness. Don't you worry about it. All right. Okay, here we go.

Starting in January, off to a bang. Doolittle just came out. Oh, my God. It sent gums a-flapping. It really has. Because not good, apparently. I've heard nothing but bad things. Yep.

I was never predicting anything good. That's fascinating to me. Which part? I feel we've talked about it before, but it's like Robert Downey Jr. is like, I'm free of this. I can do anything I want. Yeah. And I'm going to do too little.

And it's very bad. Apparently he, I might actually go and see it. I might take my son because he loves animals. Okay. And I don't think it'll matter to him. Yeah, right. What's going on. Are you going to cover his eyes during the dragon scene,

which I'm going to spoil for you right here. Oh, please do it. This is from Ryan George on Twitter. It says, this is a spoiler, but I need to share what I just witnessed because I feel like I'm going insane. The climax of Doolittle, and again, I had to read this a number of times and read the comments to determine if this is accurate. Because I'm like, well, this is clearly made up.

It's got a lot of retweets and faves, so it must be made. It's a fun joke. It's a good joke. Sometimes it's hard to tell. I don't want to look like a fool. People put up a zippy meme. Exactly. But it says,

The climax of Doolittle is literally him pulling bagpipes of a dragon's clogged arsehole, after which a polar bear voiced by John Senna exclaims, Teamwork makes dreams work. And I'm like, well, that can't be real, can it? It mustn't be real. But? Apparently it is.

It's in the trailer as well. You see it like blustering away at him. You don't see the dragon. This is an article from the Wall Street Journal. In a pivotal scene in Universal's pictures, Doolittle hitting theatres Friday, the title character, a doctor played by Robert Downey Jr. who can converse with animals. We know who Dr. Doolittle is.

Wall Street Journal. We're not Dr. Dumblittle. Relieves an ornery beast's indigestion by removing debris from its rectum. Doesn't say bagpipes. No, it doesn't say bagpipes. It's a good joke though. I mean, that's a burn on the Scots, isn't it? Yes, it is.

That bagpipes are just debris. It must be Loch Ness, right? Oh, yeah. Maybe it is. The bagpipes are just debris. It must be Loch Ness, right? Oh, yeah. Maybe it is Nessie. Yeah. Okay. The scene was added late in the filmmaking process. Excuse me?

One of several efforts Comcast Corporation's Universal made to try to ensure a return on $175 million invested in the family-friendly movie, according to a person close to the production. So they were hoping that this scene would be added and word would spread that there's a bagpipe removal from the rectum scene. Yeah. And people would be encouraged then to see the movie. Okay, here's my question.

Yes. Do you think the dragon ate the bagpipes, right? Or do you think a drunk Scotsman jammed them up there? I think the dragon ate a bagpipe player. Yeah. And the bagpipe player dissolved in its stomach. But the bagpipes, which as we know are made from vibranium, did not dissolve.

Right. Because this is an MCU movie. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, no, it is. It's a multiverse movie situation. Anyway, you mentioned the budget of $175 million. Box office so far, 15.9. Seems low.

Bearing in mind, double that for marketing. $175 million. Box office so far, 15.9. Seems low. Bearing in mind, double that for marketing. So that's nearly a $400 million. Okay, wow. Yeah. A lot of it in reshoots to make sure they got that bagpipe heinous scene in there. Yeah. Anyway, I'm going to see it.

Oh, you're going to see it with your son, I guess. Yeah. I think you actually might like it. So there you go. Also, we could talk about Doolittle all day, this movie that we didn't see think you actually might like it. So there you go. Also, we can't, we could talk about Doolittle all day, this movie that we didn't see and was

always doomed. Yeah. But Bad Boys for Life is apparently not terrible. Yep. So much so that they're going to

make another one. Okay. Apparently. Bad Boys for Life 4. Yeah. Right. Great. And then we've got

The Gentleman in January, which is the Guy Ritchie Oye. Which is out here already. Is it? I've seen it. Great. I guess we're nearly out of January anyway. What's it like? It's Guy Ritchie. Which is out here already. Is it? I've seen it. Great. I guess we're nearly out of January anyway.

What's it like? It's Guy Ritchie's movie. You know that movie he makes? Aladdin? Yeah, Aladdin. King Arthur? No. The spy one with Henry Cavill?

No, man, from Uncle, no. Yeah. Look, it's closer to his earlier stuff, but it is because, you know, there's blokes. There's blokes and a scheme. There's blokes and a scheme, but it is because, you know, there's blokes. There's blokes in a scheme. There's blokes in a scheme. Blokes, yeah, having a laugh.

Having a laugh. People are having a laugh, right? But it's like on a bigger scale because it's about a huge weed. And Matthew McConaughey's in it? Yeah, it's like a huge weed-growing organisation. Do they nearly get away with it? I don't want to spoil anything. But, I mean, he's really, I mean, it's about a character who has like a billion-dollar weed empire, so he's gotten away with it? I don't want to spoil anything. But, I mean, he's really, I mean, it's about a character who has like a billion-dollar weed empire,

so he's gotten away with it for some time, I would imagine. So he's okay. Yeah, yeah. And Matthew McConaughey is an American gangster, is he? He's like a Rhodes Scholar, which like he started in America, like he was poor in America and he got a scholarship to... Cambridge University? Cambridge, Oxford situation, and then he became like a small-time weed dealer,

and then he kind of, you know, his empire built as he was a student, and then now he's the head of this big empire. Gotcha. And he's the lead. Yes. Great. But, I mean, it's an all-star cast, mate. Yeah, I saw Colin Farrell.

Colin Farrell's in it. He's good in it. I like Colin Farrell. Yeah, he's good. Did you see his penguin look this week? Yes, I did, yeah. Platinum blonde. Platinum blonde. Platinum blonde.

The day is long. I like all the headlines in the Twitter feed that reads like, Colin Farrell packs on the pounds to play the penguin or whatever. Yeah, he's a monster. It's like, also, what if he's not? What if he's like, I'm going to be thin and fit to play this penguin, and then he opens his Twitter and it's like. I'm going to be the leanest penguin there's ever been.

It's like. Much fatter than the one from Gotham, they said. Colin Farrell's really enjoying being a big fatty. Must be a relief to finally let it all go. God. Oh, man. I hope they finish filming this movie very quickly because if he stays this fat, he's going to die.

I didn't think that at all what i looked at is he not is he supposed to be playing a portly i don't know i didn't get that sense at all normal yeah i think he was wearing like a track track suit or a track jacket or something like that so you can't really even really tell yeah but anyway that's um it's pretty solid i think hugh grant is way playing against type he's playing this kind of it's he he's got a cat the character looks like, it looks like a role maybe Gary Oldman didn't take.

Yeah, right. But apparently Guy Ritchie called him up and was like, you want to be this guy? And he's kind of this sneaky effeminate journalist who's kind of like

trying to blackmail the whole. Well, that's what he's all about as well because he's always railing against the British media. Yeah, maybe that's it, yeah. Very good. I like Hugh Grant. I like how he doesn't give a fuck.

Yeah. I really enjoy that aspect of Hugh Grant because he's like 56 now and he's just like, I like Hugh Grant I like how he doesn't give a fuck I really enjoy that aspect of Hugh Grant because he's like 56 now he's just like I don't care it's pretty good anyway Gentleman's pretty solid

I think I'll wait for it I don't know if it's going to make any money or anybody's going to watch it it's probably relatively low budget

I don't imagine they did it for the smell of an English toffee I believe yeah for sure and the smell of a Werther's Original. Are they British? I don't think they are.

They're American, yeah. Wait, the smell of a Monster Munch. Yes. The smell of a Terry's Chocolate Orange. Is that a British? We do this every week. I do, but every time I think of another one. The smell of a Jaffa Cake.

They're also orangey. Yeah. Why are they red? Anyway. Are they? No, you're thinking of Jaffas. I'm thinking of Jaff. Yeah. Why are they red? Anyway. Are they? No, you're thinking of Jaffas. I'm thinking of Jaffas in general, aren't I? Get them out of here.

They're not that good. February. Okay. Birds of Prey. Yep. I like the look of it. I don't know. Sure.

Okay. But I hope it's good. Me too. It's not based on the comic version or the original comic version at least. Yeah. There's some odd. I guess I never really thought about it. There seems to be some odd casting choices or at least some,

no, it's more odd characterisation. Yeah, it's got Victor Zayas. It's got, well, Harley Quinn, obviously, Elizabeth Winstead, Ewan McGregor's black mask. You better go full black mask fairly early on. Sure. That's all I'm saying. And none of this like just the front

of the mask bullshit i want the full skull thing you know what i mean you can't take it off i want it like that can you take it off in the comics i've got no idea i think he could initially maybe now it's welded to his face how does he eat through his butt yeah through his butts yeah how does he poop then through his mask oh no yeah no. Yeah. Right. Just builds up in his head. He evolves into Brown Mask. Anyways, we've got a lot of these, so we've got to make a move. Downhill.

I mention this because it's a remake of the Swedish film Force Majeure. I said that wrong. But it's Will Ferrell and Julie Louis-Dreyfus. Elaine from Seinfeld. Elaine from Seinfeld. Elaine from Seinfeld and Veep, obviously, and various other things. Veep from Veep. But the premise, and I meant to say this original Swedish movie because apparently it's very dark and funny, is that this family is skiing.

This is the premise. This is how it starts. Okay. You can watch the trailer. But it starts where a family is holidaying in the snow and then this huge avalanche happens near the chalet where they are and the family's sitting there and the dad bails, like leaves his family in the snow and then this huge like avalanche happens near the chalet where they are and the family's sitting there and the dad bails like leaves his family and runs and then it's like how do you come back from that oh i see right because you know you've abandoned your family

the family lives yeah it doesn't hit them so i should mention that right like it misses them completely okay but he's he's run he's he's in in his family's hour of need. He is a coward. Okay, right. It might look really funny. It'd be nice if Will Ferrell made a good movie. For him, at least. I feel like he's just

been doing whatever. But he's still funny. Like, he's still funny in person. Yeah, every time I see him in a thing, he's funny. But I'm not seeing him in, for example,

a Holmes and Watson. No. Which is on Stan, maybe now? I'm not going to watch it. Yeah, who cares? Then we've got Sonic the Hedgehog, I guess. I mean, not I guess.

We definitely do. I probably won't say this. What if you take your son? He doesn't give a shit about Sonic the Hedgehog. But it's a funny animal. It's been running fast. Is it an animal? It's a multiverse of madness situation.

All I'm saying is he's a funny animal who's not shooting people in the head. Because the other day I came to your house. You may cut this out if you wish. I won't. And from the other side of the room, he just continually shot me with an imaginary gun. And so I was playing along and like. But he shot you for a really long time.

He shot me for a really long time. And I continued to fall off my chair as I was shot. And then you were like, why don't you go check to see if Mace is okay? And he walked up to me and he finished me off with a headshot. Point blank. Yes. So what I'm saying is maybe give him a role model that isn't constantly shooting people in the head.

Okay. Sonic the Hedgehog is who that is. This weird gremlin. Yeah. I wish they didn't change it. Yeah, I guess that's true. But, you know. Maybe the DVD will have two versions.

Oh, my God. You can switch back alternate angles. I'd love that. But it's old Sonic and new Sonic. It's widescreen and he's just off to the side the whole time, just staring. You know he's there. You know he's there but you can't see him because I've got an old TV.

So there you go. So, look, yeah, good on it and great is what I say. How long would you watch just an effects reel of old Sonic just screaming? Is it a gif or is there sound? No, there's sound. Quite a while. Does he breathe or does he just? He breathes.

Sometimes he gets out of breath because he's been screaming a long time. He's sweating and drooling and stuff. Tears. Yeah. I just wanted to mention when you turned up today, I was saying goodnight to my son. I said, oh, Maso's downstairs. Do you want me to say hello?

And he shook his head. I think he just thinks you're dead he's like mason's dead i'm not oh because he shot me in the head that time yeah right that must be you've mistaken yeah he's clearly not here yeah uh then there's a weird fantasy island maybe horror remake and if you saw the trailer for that no but i think we mentioned it some months ago right and then there's the invisible man oh dark universe, Dark Universe. Dark Universe is back, baby! Yeah, baby! I'm actually looking forward to this genuinely. Oh, it's the Blumhouse.

Yeah, it's the Lee Winnell one. Big fan of this show and us. Me specifically because I interviewed him online. Yeah, now we get it. But I think this is the thing they should have been doing from the start. Low budget. Yes. Get a good director.

Yeah. Don't try and make the Avengers with... We don't want to... Exactly. Just make good horror movies because people see them. So, you know, generally. Why would the Universal Monsters hang out and be the Avengers? Why would they?

Stop other monsters. Other lesser known monsters. Okay, sure. I don't know the answers for you. Yeah. It's a multiverse situation. Oh, okay, then. Perfect. I don't know the answers for you. Yeah. It's a multiverse situation. Oh, okay. Then perfect.

There you go. I bet somebody makes like, there's an even worse Dracula or a Frankenstein. Oh, super Dracula. Yeah. You know, like in Alex G. Of course I know what happened in Alex G. There's an even more invisible man. Yeah, that's right.

And there's an even bigger Mr. Hyde. Yeah, yeah. That's probably what they do. Yeah, you're right. There's a man who will die even quicker if he looks at his own paintings. Yes, exactly. There's a guy in even more bandages. That's right.

So in that, we're going to watch, that's what won the poll, by the way, or is currently winning the poll for what we're going to do for Invisible Man for Caravan of Garbage on Patreon. Yeah, right. But was the story in that they assembled a team of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen only to then steal all their abilities and make an even more But was the story in that they assembled a team of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen only to then steal all their abilities and make an even more extreme League of Extraordinary Gentlemen?

I think so. And then maybe to sell that technology. Okay. Yeah. Like an arms race. Yeah, I think so. And there's a car in it. Yeah.

An even faster car. Oh my God. Great. Anyway, March. Could have been good. Could have been good. Could have been good. Because it's based on a good thing.

There's one more volume of The League Extraordinary Gentleman, which I think came out last year that I haven't read yet. I'm going to get to that. Do you know who it's got in it around this time? Is it Alan Moore? Yes, it's still Alan Moore, but it's like, I think it's proper modern day now, I think. So the heroes of today.

Yeah, exactly. K-pop stars. That's right. Exactly, yes. Terrific. Psy is in there. He's back. Psy's back's back exactly that's the current reference for alan moore is it yeah that's right like that song yeah but the villain the villain's an even more

powerful gang gangnam style so he's taller yeah great uh in march we've got onward that pixar movie where my dad's just legs and we're all elves oh yeah yeah gotta bring my dad back whatever it is yeah you get it then Then we've got Bloodshot. Oh, yeah. Vin Diesel. He keeps getting his memory wiped and they keep giving him nanotechnology so he can work for the government. But he's like, I'm not always going to work for the government.

And they're like, you'll work for the government. And if you don't, look at all these guys you don't know with sticks. Whack, whack, whack, whack. Ow. Yeah. Okay. Do you think this will be good? Or generic Vin Diesel or whatever I think it'll be better than a XXX, I feel

But I kind of like that movie Okay, well, okay Better in, I get what you're saying Here's the thing though, I quite like the XXX movies Because they're bad Even though they're dumb and bad Yes I feel like this will be, quality wise, it'll be on par like it'll be an enjoyable film but i think it'll be more

smartly written yeah at least i hope it will like if they if they're taking it from the comic books yeah i feel like it'll be a bit more smartly written okay triple x okay so the guy behind this the director i've just quickly looked this up um no no this is okay this is a very much like i don't know which way it's going to go but he's done some good stuff dave wilson uh he's a visual worked on visual effects for like a number of uh video games including like force awakens 2 ninth world republic um avengers age of ultron he also worked on that uh he also directed one of the love death and robot shorts okay sunny's edge where remember that one? It's about a robot.

Oh, yeah, it's about a robot. Robot fighting. So have more. It's about... Yeah, robot fighting and then it's like, why is your robot always so good? Because it's whatever, yeah. Yeah.

I like that one, yeah. And now he's doing this. Okay. So I don't know. Speaking of video games. It does look good. I think that nano effect is incredible where he breaks apart his arms.

Yeah, that's true. Yeah, yeah. I was going to say, speaking of video games, a lot of delays this year. I think that nano effect is incredible. Where he breaks apart his arms. Yeah, that's true. I was going to say, speaking of video games, a lot of delays this year. Yeah, a lot of delays. Marvel's Avengers. Hot stuff. That's getting delayed. I wonder if it's to make them look less generic.

Yeah. I hope it's Disney. They look like Disney Park Avengers. Or it's like a stage show that you go to. Yeah, right. It's Avengers on Ice. And Elsa's here also, I guess. Yeah, that's true. Yeah.

I think it's hopefully. A bunch of people with sticks and they've got skates. I'm hoping that it's to make it better. Yeah. That's what it generally is. I'd hope so, yeah. And also I hope it alleviates like crunch periods. Look, I'm totally okay with that

it's just well there was this there was Cyberpunk 2077 is going to September yeah and so is the Final Fantasy 7 remake

I don't care about that no I didn't I think I played it again I never finished the original one so yeah but yeah like I'd be totally fine with it

if they hadn't all been pushed back months oh yeah oh man I want to play Cyberpunk 2077. Well, I want Doom, and that's coming out soon. That's coming out soon. That's something else that I was looking forward to.

It's coming out soon. Last of Us. Those get delayed a lot, so it wouldn't surprise me. It wouldn't surprise me if that got delayed. I'm excited to play Doom Eternal and finally end up in heaven, tearing Angel's pets off. That'll teach them. Yeah.

That'll teach them, Mason, with their harps and their friendly faces. Yeah. That's right. And I like them. Then we've got A Quiet Place 2. Oh, yeah. Cillian Murphy, he's back for more post-apocalyptic horror. A Quiet Place 2, bit of shush.

If you don't mind. If you don't mind. Yeah. I think it's going to do some flashbacks because John Krasinski is directing but I think they're going to do some pre whatever the monsters are flashbacks yeah it seemed that way in the trailer I'm looking forward to this

I like the first one I don't think it's brilliant there's some stuff in this that doesn't make any sense in the first one? yeah which parts? why don't they live near the waterfall

yeah that's a good point actually it's one thing why haven't they found anything soundproof why don't they live near the waterfall? Yeah, that's a good point, actually. It's one thing. Yeah, why haven't they found anything soundproof? Why don't they live in a cool recording studio? Yeah. Everything's soundproof. They're great. They could do podcasts.

They could do podcasts. Oh, my God. Yeah. Hey, welcome to the Alien Monsters Trying to Kill Us podcast. We bring you news and all kinds of aliens trying to kill us. I'm also not really sure how the monsters work in terms of like, sometimes they hear you and sometimes they don't. Like you can't just be like, ha, and then like move 50 feet

before they get you. Yes, that's true. I don't know. I don't understand things, but I like things, and that's cool. You don't understand things, but you like things, and that's cool. And they pour in that sand every day so that they can walk on so they can go to the shops and get some tuna, canned tuna. Yeah, that's right.

Yeah. Anyway, I am looking forward to it. Me too. Then we've got the weird Fantasy Island horror remake again. They're re-releasing it because it did so well. Incredible. Hot stuff. Then we've got...

Because it nearly beat Avatar, so they're going to bring it back just to nudge it over the line. Then we've got Mulan. Do you think... Okay, if they're doing the Fantasy Island remake, are they going to bring back... are they going to have a, do we know what the cast list is or anything? I can bring that up for you.

Are they going to give us a Hervé Villaché's dwarf little person? Yes, that guy. The playing guy? Yeah. But is he going to be a little person? Are they going to get? I don't know. Okay.

Presumably. Yeah. Let's have a look. No, but Michael Peña's in it. Ooh. That's cool. Michael R But Michael Pena's in it Ooh That's cool Michael Rooker's also in it Ooh So which one is the

They've got Gary Oldman to do it again Like he did in Tiptoes He'll just do it on his knees Maybe Remember that? What an era Okay of the two Of those two guys we've just mentioned

Rooker and Michael Pena Yep Who's the main guy And who's the sidekick? If it has to be those two They're a good I like that main guy and who's the sidekick? If it has to be those two. They're a good duo. I like that duo. Maybe they're both the sidekick.

Yeah. Maybe they're both the weird sidekick. Yeah. Slash muscle. Slash muscle, yeah. I love it. Because Rook is not like, he's not the mastermind behind a fantasy island. No.

But neither is Michael Peña. He might be a heavy. He might be like the lead mercenary. He's like, this fantasy island's getting out of control. Yeah. You know? Yeah, yeah, for sure. He might be a heavy. He might be like the lead mercenary. He's like, this Fantasy Island's getting out of control. Yeah. You know? Yeah, yeah, for sure.

Anyway, I don't care about Fantasy Island. I don't care about it too much. But because it's done so well. Yeah, that's right. I'll have to see it, obviously. We'll have to pivot this entire podcast to Fantasy Island hot takes. Correct. Then we've got Mulan, which I'm really looking forward to. Yes.

And I'm also really looking forward to re-watching that and seeing what you think. Oh, yeah. I think you might like it. Then April. Apparently there's no songs at all, yeah. I think you might like it. Then April. Apparently there's no songs at all, right? No, but there seems to be the soundtrack is at least inspired by. Okay, right. Yeah.

Which is good. April, we've got The New Mutants. Now, what's interesting about this is that. It's coming out, baby. First of all, that it's actually coming out. The other thing is the director has come out and said that it's his version. Like he's making his exact version. Okay.

And I think the reason that may be is because Disney are just out and said that it's his version. Like he's making his exact version. Okay. And I think the reason that may be is because Disney are just like, just do exactly what you want. This is probably not going to do well regardless. And then we won't have people hounding us forever about releasing a different version of the new movies. We just don't want people hounding us on Twitter saying, release the whatever your name is cut. Yeah, that's right.

The guy who's directing this, whose name we don't know. Josh Boone. Yeah. So. I hear there's some talk, there's been some talk recently. Oscar talk. Oh, Oscar talk, we can talk Oscar talk. But I was going to say, there's been some release of the J.J. Abrams

cut talk about The Rise of Skywalker. Yes. I don't think there is a J.J. Abrams cut. I think there's probably some extra stuff that they cut out because that's how movies are made. So I don't care. Right. I don't care.

You care a little bit. No. You care too much. Yeah, that's probably true. Then we've got there's not enough time for James Bond to die. There's hardly enough time for him to do it. Simply cannot find the time to die. Yes.

I cannot fit the death of myself into my current schedule. Correct. I cannot fit the death of myself into my current schedule. Correct. Barbara Broccoli also came out and said, James Bond can be whatever ethnicity. As long as it's a man. As long as it's a man.

So whatever, you own it. Do whatever you want. I don't give a shit. Also, I'm impressed. As a sentient piece of broccoli, you've been doing this for so long. How did you avoid being eaten? Because you're not the best vegetable. I'm a fan. But I know other people't. I'm also a fan of broccoli.

I'm a big fan. I like it. It feels healthy when you're eating it. It feels good. When people put cheese on broccoli, unnecessary. You can just have it. That's true. It's good enough.

Yeah, right? It's good enough broccoli. Barbara broccoli. Yes. Then we've got Black Widow, which also comes out in May, depending where you are. We had that new trailer. We did. It looks good, I think.

I like the Taskmaster. Yeah. What tasks is this task mastered? Shield stuff. Yep. Sword stuff. Jumping up off the ground at the same time as Black Widow and having the same stance stuff.

Wish I had that. Well, you don't. But I wish. No, I understand. Sure Well, you don't. But I wish. No, I understand, sure. I just don't want to build up false hope in you. You can train all you like, but you'll never have jumping up at exactly the same time as Black Widow and then going in the exact same stance as Black Widow stuff.

Do you think I could beat up Black Widow? No. What if it was in real life, though? Like the character of Black Widow? Yeah, like she came into the real world. Oh, no, she'd beat you up. She'd beat you up. In the real world, though. Like the character of a black widow. Yeah. Not Scarlett Johansson. Oh, no, she'd beat you up. She'd beat you up.

In the real world, though. Yeah. Oh, yeah. But on me. Oh, you know, more so. She'd beat you up. Yeah. Okay.

What if it was a black widowed Scarlett Johansson-sized spider that was, like, human-sized? And I'd cricket bat. And that's poisonous, right? Yes. Cricket bat. Cricket bat is bat. And that's poisonous, right? Yes. Cricket bat. Cricket bat is poisonous. It's got a poison nail in it. I had to dip it in a big tin of poison.

Well, let it drip down on your hands. And you would be poisoned. I wear gloves. The gloves are also poisoned. Why would I put them on? I don't know. Did you give them to me? Yeah.

Why? Thought it'd be funny. You didn't want to see me fight the spider? I wanted to see you succumb to the poison first. Okay. I don't like it. No. I hope it doesn't happen, to be honest.

Well. Anyway, Black Widow. I hope it's good. Me too. And then if it's not, they're making them forever. May, we've got Legally Blonde 3. What? Yep.

Wow. Never really seen them. Okay. But they're popular and good, apparently. That's true Or the first one is at least So it turned into a musical Reese Witherspoon is back

So that's good And then we've got Scoob I've seen the trailer for this Looks like it sucks To me it looks like it sucks So it's a prequel Yes To the adventures of all Scooby-Doos

Yes and it's young Scoob and young Shag What does Shaggy do after his dog dies? Good question. Depression. Was he another dog? Or was he rich enough where he could clone another dog? You know, people were doing that, like Bette Midler's cloning her dogs or whatever. You think Shaggy's rich enough?

You think he's one of those rich hippies? Yeah. That's why he's allowed to just flitter around and look at fake ghosts or whatever. Sure. Yeah. Okay, maybe he'd clone the dog. Okay, good. Maybe he's done it multiple times. Maybe that's why it talks. You just keep changing it. Sure. Yeah. Okay, maybe he'd clone the dog. Okay, good. Maybe he's done it multiple times.

Maybe that's why it talks. You just keep changing it. Yeah, sure. It's not supposed to be. No. That's the real mystery. Stop that man. Yeah.

Quite frankly. He's not right. He's a monster. Yeah, he might be a Nazi scientist. Son? Yes. Good. He's from the 70s or whatever.

Anyway, this is what this family movie is about. Correct. I'm probably not going to say it, I guess. Anyway, this is what this family movie is about. Correct. I'm probably not going to say it, I guess. To me, you should watch the trailer because it looks bad. Okay, I will. I watched it many months ago, so I couldn't tell you specifically why it's bad, but it just looks bad. Okay, what about this, Fast and Furious 9?

Oh, yeah. They're back. It's all about family. The rock's not in it. Who's the bad guy? I don't know. It's probably somebody's brother or sister or mother or father or son or daughter what kind of car they got cousin a good one yeah

good car yeah but it's no match for american muscle that's so true yeah or one of those nos cars or whatever it's it's no match for american muscle or whatever like like poor rev heads have because it's always like it's always like a Lamborghini and like a Ford GT and then like a Nissan 350Z. It's always like one of the cars you guys have. Yeah, this is what you cruise in. We're just like you. You're absolutely right.

Anyway, do we have any plot details? I'm sure there is, but who cares? You get it. Somebody's brother or sister. I hope it recaptures the magic of Seven and Eight and not the zero magic of Hobbs and Shaw, in my opinion. There was no magic in that movie. Agreed. Then there's Artemis Fowl and I bring this up because it's Kenneth Branagh's Artemis Fowl.

It's about a steampunk kid. That's as far as I know but it's based off a popular series. Yeah, it's about like an evil kid genius. Cool. I think that sounds interesting. Yes. Oh, I saw the trailer and went, oh, yeah.

And I like Kenneth Branagh. So, you know, that's cool. And he was sexy in that Dracula movie. Frank, it's not, whatever. June, Wonder Woman 84. Looks good. Me too, thinks that. I made an assumption about what you were going to say

and I had my response locked and loaded and I was wrong, but it still worked. That's not what you were always going to say? Me too thinks that? I was. Good, excellent. Anyway, we've talked about it a lot. It's got pushed back.

Me too. Thinks that? Yes. Yeah, good. So it got pushed back so it could be a summer release. It's going to be going Me too. Fix that? Yes. Yeah, good. So it got pushed back so it could be a summer release. It's going to be going up against Candyman, the reboot. Oh, my God. With Jordan Peele's involvement.

Oh, okay, right, sure, sure. He's a man, he's got a hook hand and bees follow him. Yes. I don't think I've ever seen it. But I know people were outraged that the original Candyman wasn't the Candyman again. Oh, like the actor playing the Candyman. Yeah. Yeah.

Right. But I think they ended up casting him in it. Yeah, they're very, horror fans are very. Oh, it's a direct sequel to the original. Well, then maybe. Horror fans are very adamant that the original person in the suit and the mask is always the same person in the suit and the mask.

Totally, I can appreciate that. Staggers the same way. Yeah. Then we've got Souls. The other Disney Pixar one. It's about Souls. Okay, right. Great.

Then In the Heights. I bring this up because it's a musical. It's by the guy who did Hamilton, Lin-Manuel Miranda. I see. Yeah. It's a hip-hopera. You know how he does it? Yes, sure.

It's about In the Heights. It's about a guy just making his way in the world. Okay, sure. And I've always wanted to see the musical And now I will Because of this movie You always want to see a musical I want to see this musical

Okay, but have you seen Hamilton? Yes What did you think? I really liked it because it's good I don't think that's controversial Yeah, right To be like No, I don't think it is either

Yeah Let me check who's directing this Is it Lin-Manuel Miranda? Oh, John Chu Who? John Chu. Who? John Chu. He did like Crazy Rich Asians

and Now You See Me 2. G.I. Joe Retaliation. Real gun for hire this guy it seems. Yeah, he knows what he's doing. Anyway, I like the trailer. Yeah, right.

Okay. Then we've got, then we've got, then we've got Top Gun Loser. Maverick's back. What's he up to? Same ship.

Just flying those planes. Back it up in motion. Now he's training kids. And he's like, thanks for inviting me back. And they're like, you're not invited back. These were orders. And he's like, you invited me on Top Gun Maverick. And they're like, you live in a bin, Tom Cruise.

Yeah. Live in a bin one quarter mile at a time. As the garbage truck picks me up every Thursday when I sleep in. That's right. Goose's son. Do something else, Tom Cruise's character from that movie. I don't know. What do you think?

He should have another job? Just fly your own plane. Like a crop duster? Yes. Like Randy Quaid from the first Independence Day. Yes. What if it was Top Gun versus Aliens? No. And they bring their own Top Gun. Oh. They've got a space Top Gun. Day. Yes. What if it was Top Gun versus Aliens? No.

And they bring their own Top Gun. Oh. They've got a space Top Gun. Yeah, okay. A Spop Gun. A Spock Gun. Oh, my goodness. Yeah.

Wow. What do you think of that? And it's E.T.? It's E.T. E.T.'s their Spop Gun. Yes. What a clash of the 80s legends. I know.

But it's the E.T. puppet they haven't used in years So all the rubbers rotted away Did you see when people were like Oh my god E.T. finally got the sequel that we deserved And it's like an A.T. and T commercial Oh no I didn't see that no Yeah it's whatever Do you know what it's like

When they're like Ferris Bueller's got a sequel And it's like a It's a Super Bowl commercial And it's got Matthew Broderick And he's like 52 And it's like I I'm skipping work. And I'm like, this is the saddest thing I've ever seen. And as you know, Mason, I hate Ferris Bueller.

He sucks. We had this conversation quite recently, didn't we? It's coming up in a video. July. You like the movie Free Guy? I feel I had more talk about Top Gun, but I don't think I did. I think it's probably just. Okay.

I don't know. Live your life, Tom Cruise. Yeah, Tom Cruise. He's doing it, isn't he? Yeah, okay. Free Guy, Tom Cruise. He's doing it, isn't he? Okay. Free Guy. Free Guy.

Looks fun. Is it going to be enjoyable beyond the premise in the trailer? That's right. Good questions. This is from Sean Levy. He did all the Night in the Museum films. He did Real Steel. Remember that? Yeah.

Where Hugh Jackman taught Robot to kiss and box. In the year 2020. Yes. We had an idea for an episode. Maybe we'll do it next week. We'll do it next week. Do we have anything? Yeah'll do it next week. We'll do it next week. Do we have any other things? Yeah, I think we could.

We'll do it next week. Okay. Would you want to explain that premise? Well, next week we're going to do an episode about all the incredible things that are going to happen this year, the year 2020. And there's still time. As shown to us in all the movies set in the year 2020. It's a bumper year.

People don't want blood sports anymore, Mason. They want robot boxing for some reason. That's right. Have you seen Real Steel? I haven't seen Real Steel. Maybe I'll squeeze it in before next week. Free Guys. Do you see it?

I saw the trailer. It's good. I liked it. I liked it. The trailer, that is. I like the premise. Then we've got Ghostbusters Afterlife. That's right.

And then maybe we can stop with this. This old Ghostbusters nonsense? Yeah, please. Best case scenario, obviously for them it does really well and they make sequels forever. Best case scenario for me, it's average and then we can stop. Sure. We can just all take a breath.

But will we stop? Terminator stopped. You're right. Terminator did stop. I feel like that has been way more of a money spinner than Ghostbusters ever was. Well, they've made more in that sense. That's true, yeah.

Yeah. But that being said, I don't mind the trailer and whatever and who cares forever. Sure. Then we've got Tenet. Should that be our slogan, who cares forever? Who cares forever? That could be your new catchphrase.

Who cares forever? I could shout it. As you're falling off a cliff. Tenet. What is it? Time travel. Time travel. 200 million dollar budget, they reckon.

Yeah, okay. We've talked about it, but it's good, I think. You think it's good? Yeah. Based on the trailer. I'm really looking forward to it. Me too. It's probably one of my most, might be my most anticipated.

Nolan rarely puts together a dud. You didn't like My Dad's in Space and All the Dwarfs Die. I said he rarely puts together a dud, but he has put together a dud called Interstellar. I like it. Yeah. Then we've got Jungle Cruise. The Rock.

He's in a tiny little tugboat outfit. Oh, yeah, that's right. Okay. Emily Blunt's in it. It's like the biggest set ever made or something. I would have called it Tiny Tugboat. The Rock's Tiny Tugboat. Would they make it even – I think they should make it even tinier.

Like you would make a tugboat look small, but you make it even smaller. Yeah, you do. Exactly, yeah. And the wheel's tiny. Like they're normally like a giant wooden wheel, but it's like a tiny little wooden wheel. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It looks like a baby's toy that he's holding.

Yeah. And it's filmed in a pool wooden wheel. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It looks like a baby's toy that he's holding. Yes. Yeah. And it's filmed in a pool. I love it. Not for me. Good luck. Is the plot of Tiny Tugboat? I don't know. Okay.

They do a jungle cruise. Rambo 4, presumably. Oh, probably, yeah. Right, right, right. He goes into Burma and murders 400 people, 400 child soldiers. No, what I mean is it more of like a, I mean, that's pretty funny. But is it like they get into trouble with the locals or is it kind of like, is it one of those like Goldie Hawn,

Kurt Russell movies where it's like, we don't get along and why am I on your tiny tugboat cruise? And then they fall down a waterfall or whatever. Because she's well-to-do. Yeah, right. Or Captain Ron. Wait. I don't know what you're talking about.

What was the one where- Bird on a wire? No, but probably. The one where she knocks her head and- That's the one. She falls off the boat. He makes her his wife or whatever. Yes, that one.

They remade that recently, I think. They did. And reversed the roles. Yeah. With Anna Faris? Yeah, it was Anna Faris, I think. Let me just check what Jungle Cruise. Let me check the premise.

Okay, please. Tiny tugboat. It's called The Rock Let me check the premise. Okay, please. It's called The Rock's Tiny Tugboat. Here we go. Somebody set up a change.org petition. Robotex travels to the jungle with dangerous animals and reptiles, but with a supernatural element. It's not set in Burma. Morbius? Yep.

Fuck off, Morbius, already. I'm not sick of your shit, quite frankly. No, good luck. We didn't talk about how nobody likes Jared Leto. Do you like him? No. That's what I'm saying. Yeah.

I guess people must, though. People must. But I don't like him. I don't like him either. I didn't like his... No, I think the Joker thing is not his fault, necessarily. I still get comments on... A lot of the video...

Because I did a video a while back on, I think you were in it, where we raved for the Jokers, and we're like, he's definitively the worst. And we have people come in that go, Joaquin Phoenix is definitely the best and whatever. But most of them are like, Jared Leto sucks, and his version sucks, and it's emo and terrible. But every now and then, there's just like a big Jared Leto,

just a huge fan. A big Jared Leto. Just a huge fan. A big Jared Leto stan. A big fan. Yeah, right. So, you know. 30 seconds to Marza. Yeah, that's right. 30 seconds to Martian.

That's what they call him. Very good. Yeah, he is. I don't think he's a terrible actor. Isn't he a terrible person? Yeah, apparently. There's stories and rumours and whatever. But let's not jump the gun on the terrible things he probably did.

Okay, let's wait and see if and whatever, but let's not jump the gun on the terrible things he probably did. Okay, let's wait and see if Morbius is any good. And then if it's bad, we'll just unload on him again. That's right, exactly. Then in August, we've got Bill and Ted Face the Music. I'm excited for that. Cool. They've got kids.

They're grown up. They haven't written a song, which has saved the universe yet or whatever. Oh, right. Death's Back, William Fichtner. Oh, yeah. What's his name? It name it might be william fictor that's a different guy yeah yeah now he's in he's in um shawshank yeah let me check okay anyway um anyway this is a long time coming i like all of those okay so so the premise of so the premise of the the first one basically. William Sadler. William Sadler, there we go. He's great. So the premise of the Bill and Ted universe is that at some point Bill and Ted in the future write a song that unites all of humanity.

Yes. And so this movie is set in the present day, I guess? Yes. And they haven't done that yet. They haven't done it yet. I like that a lot. But at the end of two, they are a successful rock band. Because they went into the future.

No, no, no. You see like all the newspaper articles and it's like, they saved the world or whatever. Okay. So what is this? Reticond? Reboot? Reboot, yeah.

I'm just checking what year the first one is. You know when they go to the future in, oh, they do. They go to, yeah, the first one, that i was like is that a 2020 future but it's not it's 2688 okay we're not talking about that this year but that's right yeah so the synopsis is now enduring uh the monotony of middle-aged life uh bill and ted uh are warned by a visitor from the future that they need to create the song that will save the earth and blah blah blah okay um that's probably a metaphor or so it turns out to be, I'd imagine. Sure. The first one's like a fun time travel romp.

Yes. And it's very silly and a bit low budget. Yeah, right. And they're picking up characters throughout history. And the second one is just fucking bananas.

Yeah, I've watched it a long time. And I really like it. I know the second one wasn't as well received, but I think they're both really interesting. Yeah, because they've got

to fight the robot duplicates of themselves. Yeah, but they also have, they build their own robot duplicates at the same time. And then they meet like, they go to hell and then also heaven and they meet a big, they meet the smartest being in the universe, which is a big slime ball monster. Yes, that's right. Good stuff.

Yeah. And there was a comic book as well, which was very good. Yes, and a TV series and an animated series. We talked about the tv series yes we did yeah yes and i'll probably do an episode on bill and ted's closer to maybe it's one of those things that i don't know do people still like it or is it just us i don't know do we do we do we even still like it well i mean based on the plot synopsis you've just provided us yeah it does sound like this is aimed at people who are teenagers

or I guess or like that age. We were younger than that. Younger than teenagers when it came out and who are now grown-ups and are like, I wish there was a movie that I could relate to, a white man. Why haven't we written a song that saves the universe? Right? I like to think that every week we write a song that saves the universe,

James. It's called This Podcast. But where are the – there's no music in it. Spoken word poetry I would accept. That's right, yeah. I will not accept songs. Have you not been putting in that musical bed that I send you every week? People do it.

People do it, but I don't do it. The dubstep theme to Bonanza that I send you every week? I put it in this week earlier. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. Then we've got The Hitman's Wife Bodyguard. What?

It's the- Sequel to the Samuel L. Jackson and Ryan Reynolds movie? I didn't know that was coming out. I thought it was- What's it called? The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard. Yeah. Huh.

I was going to say the first one, and then apparently it wasn't that good, because I liked those two. I think that's an interesting pairing. Yeah, it's pretty average. I used to watch it. I have seen it. It's on Netflix, one of those.

Great. In September, Monster Hunter. Paul W.S. Anderson is back. Resident Evil guy? Yes, with his wife who's in all of his Resident Evil movies. And this time they're ruining Monster Hunter. Is that a video game? Yes, it is.

Okay, right. A very popular video game. Monster Hunter World, is that the video game? There's various ones and whatever. But yeah, very popular. Difficult. Monster Hunter World, is that the video game? There's various ones and whatever, but yeah, very popular, difficult. Seems like the barrier to entry is difficult for an old man like me, but very loved and I can't imagine this being anything

other than people not liking it. Why is Monster Hunter World not good for an old person? I think the idea of the lore and the mechanics behind it. Oh, there's too much of it? Yeah, yeah, and I'm just not really... You're not having it. I'm not having it, quite frankly. You just want Tetris.

I do want Tetris. I want Tetris. So the budget of this is $60 million as well. I feel like with Monster Hunter, you need a bit more than that. Also, do you like giant monster-hunting swords, Mason, and deserts? That's a big old sword. That's a Final Fantasy-esque sword. No, it is, anyway.

Okay, so this is set on Earth. This is set in some sort of fantasy realm. You're asking the guy who doesn't know or care, Mason. Okay, right. Again, we could use that to open the podcast every week. I could say it as I'm falling off a cliff. That's right. You're asking the guy.

That'd be great if you wanted to leave a party early, you just have to wait for somebody to ask you a question. Then you go, you're asking a guy who doesn't know or care as you back out. Then we've got The Conjuring. The devil made me do it. Never seen one. They do well. Next one, The King's Man.

Delayed to this time. Or maybe not. I don't know. It's the prequel to The King's Man. Delayed to this time. Or maybe not. I don't know. It's the prequel to The King's Man. Yes, it is. Matthew Vaughn is back. I like his movies enough that I think this could be a good one. And it's set in World War I. Yes. Much like the movie 1917. What? What are you pointing at?

You're tapping. Oh, sorry. I didn't think it was coming through. We'll know soon. We'll know soon. We'll know soon. If I've been tapping for 40 minutes and not noticing, Mason will let it out. I'll send him the file and he'll take care of it. I'll put Bonanza over it.

That's right. Next we've got The Many Saints of Newark. Why did I put that in and what is it? I don't know. Oh, that's right. It's Edgar Wright's next movie. Oh. Inspired by films like The Last Knight in Soho.

This is Newark, New Jersey. Yes, it's inspired to be, no, sorry. Last Knight in Soho is the Edgar Wright movie. Yes. Many Saints of the Thing that I said is the Soprano sequel. Prequel, starring James Gandolfini's son as... James Gandolfini. Yes.

But it's his son. So are these two separate movies? Yeah, ignore the Edgar Wright thing I said. What is that, though? Now you've intrigued me. Okay, so we're getting this sequel to Sopranos. Okay, that's coming out this year. Now that's done.

And then we're getting Last Night in Soho, which is the next Edgar Wright film, inspired by British horror films such as Don't Look Now. So there you go. So they're not related in any way. No, Mason, I just made a mistake. So the Edgar Wright film is not inspired by this Sopranos prequel that hasn't come out yet?

I'll clean this up in the edit. But, yeah, do you understand now what I'm saying? Sort of, yes. Are they coming out at similar times? Yeah, both in September. Okay, right. No, if it's Australia, probably never. I understand the confusion then.

You reckon they'll let us interview Edgar Wright again? No. Yeah, let's ask him even worse questions this time. Let's see if we can really catch him in a lie. Yeah, that's right. We'll ask him all the same questions. If he provides a slightly different answer, we'll get a big buzzer. We'll be like, no.

Door opens. Guys, he doesn't know with sticks. Beam up with sticks, exactly. Or it could just be us. He doesn't know us. That's true, sticks, exactly. Or it could just be us. He doesn't know us. That's true, yeah. So this is a horror movie. Yes.

In the style of a British horror movie called Don't Look Now. And various other things. Is it a horror comedy? I don't think so. Okay. But presumably there's funny, funny stuff in it. Because he can, he walks the line, he's walked the line between horror and comedy before. But would you like to see a, see, I don't know, I feel like – because we've had, you know, Shaun of the Dead

and Hot Fuzz and The World's End and et cetera. And Airman. And Airman and Baby Driver. Yeah. Which was an action movie with some fun stuff in it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I wonder if maybe he would like to transition just to a horror movie. Straight up.

Yeah. Straight up. We should ask him. Yeah. When the movie comes out, We'll determine what it is. And maybe it's a horror comedy. And we can be like, did you consider making it just a horror movie, i.e. a better movie? I think.

Yes. We should ask him about the Soprano sequel while we're there. I think we should too. Be like, why did you, did you do this on purpose to confuse us? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what we should do? If we interview him again, we could just constantly ask him if he remembers us from last time. Do you remember?

I was sitting on this side, if you remember. We were in a different room. I was sitting here. I was quite ill. I was coughing a lot. Yeah, I actually bought a third microphone for you so we could do the interview. I don't know if you remember that or notice, but yeah.

It was a pretty well-received interview, I think, in general. People didn't mind it. That's right. You didn't retweet us on Twitter. I mean, it would have been nice. There's still a chance to retweet us from that thing. I'll shoot you an email and you can retweet that. Where do you live?

So October. You still talking to Kevin Spacey? He's kind of there. Still texting him or what? Did you direct his weird video where he threatened to murder people? Yeah. And then that person, then those people died or some of them died. Yeah.

Good, good, great. It's good. I put this one, it's in October. It's called Bios. Tom Hanks stars as Finch, the last man on earth, an ailing inventor facing his own mortality. So he builds a robot to keep his dog safe. What's it called? Bios. Oh, Bios. Bios. And he builds a robot to keep his dog safe. What's it called?

Bios. And he's like, I'm the last man. And this is the last dog. But I need to build another dog. No, a robot. I think that could be interesting. And I like Tom Hanks and I like robots. And I like dogs.

It's true. It's all the things that I love. And which one is Tom Hanks playing the dog? Yeah. He's just got a human all the things that I love. And which one is Tom Hanks playing the dog? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's just got a human face just grafted onto it. Right. It doesn't talk.

It's just the face. It just screams. Again, it's one of those outlaw effects reels. Tom Hanks is a dog going, ah, ah. Then we've got Death on the Nile. Yep. Follow up to the other one.

Kenneth Branagh's back probably and Nick Setter and so forth. Murder on the Iron Express. It was fineup to the other one. Kenneth Branagh's back, probably. And Nick Senna and so forth. Murder on the Iron Express. It was fine. I didn't watch it because, again, I wanted to and then it was gone. You watched it. Didn't we see it? No.

I thought you were re-watching it. No, no. You actually never saw it at all. I never saw it, no. I feel like you did. I didn't. Didn't we do an episode on it? I don't believe so.

Ah, there you go. Then we've got The Witches, based on Roald Dahl, the book. Oh, The Witches. But also a remake. Not The Witches. No, Mason. Okay, right. Remember Ron Atkinson was in it this time?

Yeah, and what's her face? Angelica Huston. That's the one. Yeah, this time different people are in it. Oh. And I don't think I ever saw the original, but I really liked the book as a kid. It was one of those books that-

You were one of those kids. Follow the thread. I was one of those kids.. It was one of those books that- You were one of those kids. Follow the thread. I was one of those kids. But it was one of those books where- Always beating people with a stick. And otherwise, The Grand High Witch. That's right. Okay.

Yeah, I like that. It was one of those books where it's just kind of scary enough for a kid. Yeah, right, right, right. Without being too horrifying. I think it was really good at walking that line. I really enjoyed it. What other Roald Dahl properties are left? BFG?

No, they did that, didn't they? They could do Danny the Champ of the World again. They could do Boy, which is like his story. Was he an anti-Semite? Potentially, sure. Is that what the blurb says? Yeah. We'll do go on to an episode where they kind of go through it.

I think a lot of that is just him kind of joking because it's just like the era. Where you could have a bit of a laugh about being an anti-Semite. Yeah, exactly. It was a fun, fun time. Look, I know it's Ian Fleming technically, but where's our gritty reboot of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang? No one wants that.

No one wants that. I kind of want it. Do you? Do it Knight Rider style. David Asseloff. Yes. As whatever Dick Van Dyke played in that. Yes.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get you. Great. Caracatus Potts, is that his name? I don't know. I hate that movie. No. Well, you'd like my remake then. Yeah, I would.

Caracatus Pots. Caracatus. Caracatus. No. Next we've got Snake Eyes, the Nicolas Cage sequel. Nice. No, it's the G.I. Joe spin-off. Oh.

It's by a German director called Robert Schwenkluft. And he's also done the movies The Captain, The Divergent Series, some of them, R.I.P.D., Red, The Time Traveller's Wife, Flight Plan. Some of those, the ones I've seen of those have been bad. What's The Captain from 2017? Is that Tom Hanks? No, it's a German film. Okay, right.

But he also did Heaven in 1993 and it's exclamation mark. Is that a sequel to Airplane? I can't even click on it. Everybody who died in Airplane is in Heaven. It doesn't even have, like I click on it in Wikipedia and there's no link. Well, all right. It just exists in the world.

I don't feel confident about anything G.I. Joe that's been happening ever. No, no. You never know. So Snake Eyes can't talk. That's correct, yes. Unless it's a prequel, in which case he can talk for some of it. Oh, yeah, maybe it is a prequel. And his face gets burned off.

Cool. Do you see much of that as Mask in the comics, whatever? Mostly not. Only in, like, the origin story. Okay. And then occasionally it's like show us your face snake eyes no good that's no good they say do you think i went daredevil and they went not daredevil like deadpool and they went yeah that makes sense scarred guy swords

this is the one yeah maybe you're right yeah although although but that's the thing like snake eyes was always kind of a standout character that That's true. And G.I. Joe started before the ninja craze, I think, of the 80s and 90s. You mean for kids? Yeah, for kids. And then G.I. Joe had Ninja Force and stuff like that. So good. And they had that Street Fighter series. Remember?

Yeah. Was that G.I. Joe? It was, wasn't it? Yeah, they had. They had Ryu. Came with a jetpack probably I don't remember Right Yeah

Then Halloween Kills Mike Myers got out Yep So he's making another Austin Powers movie Ha ha No The Killer Mason Michael Myers escaped

Yes Probably And they have to shoot him again They escaped The bloody Set for the Love Guru 2 Very good Yes

Good on you Halloween Good for you November Does that mean everybody's back? Laurie Strode's back? I believe everyone's back They're currently filming Or they have filmed it

Okay But it's coming out Okay cool Because it has to come out In October Because when else do you release it? You can't You've got to wait another year.

Then you've got Eternals in November. Halloween Kills at Christmas. Halloween Kills the Easter Bunny. Halloween Kills Hanukkah. Halloween Kills Queen's Birthday. Why not? Just why not? Yeah, right?

Oh, my God, Michael Myers has changed his pattern. He only comes out on the Queen's Birthday. When is that again? Oh, my God, Michael Myers has changed his pattern. He only comes out on the Queen's birthday. When is that again? Oh, my God, he's a genius. It's an extra layer of confusion. You don't know when to hide. You don't know when the Queen's birthday is. Is it June?

Is it her actual birthday? Is it her actual birthday? It's a holiday birthday. It's a different time. We have a day off for the Queen's birthday for our America listeners. Why? I don't know. We don't know.

It's not her actual birthday. We don't care. Yeah, we a record birthday. We don't care. Yeah, we'll take it. November Eternals. Yeah. That's the Marvel movie I'm most looking forward to this year. By the way, I haven't included TV because we'd be for 100 years. We haven't seen any trailer yet.

Might get something around Black Widow, I'd imagine. Yeah. I like the cast. I like the premise. I like how it's going to go a million years in like every direction. Next up, Ray of the Last Dragon. It's like a Disney animated film. It's about a dragon.

Next up, they pull bagpipes out of its ass. It's the hot topic of the year, Mason. Then we've got Escape Room 2. I never saw their first Escape Room, but I guess at least one of them got out. Maybe. Maybe this is a new. Maybe this is the killer from Escape Room, assuming there was a killer and it wasn't just a malfunctioning Escape Room.

Maybe this movie is just the litigation of the families killed by the, of the people killed by the Escape Room. They're just suing the company and the company's like, we certainly apologise. We sincerely apologise for what happened here. Shouldn't have put so many turns of flame. Exactly. That's right.

But then the courthouse, just's just a regular courthouse. I know. Wow. But it's very tense. Yeah. Every time somebody goes through a door, I think there's a very tense musical sting and then they just open the door and leave. That's right.

You're a clock ticking ominously, but it's just a clock. It's a clock. Yeah. Then we've got in December. Is it Dune or June? It's December. Okay, good. Yeah, you're thinking of the month of June. So the movie Dune is coming out It's December. Okay, good. Yeah, you're thinking of the month of June.

So the movie Dune is coming out. In December. In December. Denny Villeneuve, who did the new Blade Runner, and Arrival, I think. So this is going to be a great movie that nobody's going to see. Correct. And it's going to sink the franchise for another 30 years.

Yep, but they'll keep giving him stuff to adapt because he's good at it. Yeah, right? Yeah. I mean, if this doesn't work, then you can't make it, right? If this guy can't do it. Yeah, I think so, yeah. Jason Momoa as a Duncan Idaho.

Yes. Again, what? I don't know. Maybe I should look into it, but people must know out there. Why is it that it's Baron Harkonnen and Paul Atreides and all these alien-ish names and it's just a guy called Duncan Idaho? You're asking the guy who knows literally everything about Dune or Dune Mason. So here we go.

All right. I don't. Okay. Someone will. Yeah, please. What is the origin of the character Duncan Idaho? Yeah. Are they just doing it for a laugh?

Is it supposed to be a random assortment of syllables? I guess it's because Paul and Duncan, they're regular human names. Yeah, that's true. Maybe Atreides is a state. I mean, Luke Skywalker's name is Luke and everyone else is called Flugelhorn or whatever in that movie. Literally every other character is called Flugelhorn. Did you know that?

Yeah. So, you know, it's just the way it goes. Then we've got Uncharted, which may or may not be coming out because it maybe lost a director and maybe Mark Wahlberg's in it or he is in Tom Holland. Will he grow a mustache for it? You have to. I think so. Because what are you doing if not?

He won't though. I know you have to, but he won't. Because like Max Payne? Yeah. Because he's just like, this is how I interpret it. When has Mark Wahlberg ever adopted any special makeup Or prosthetics Or anything Other than being A muscular man

Yeah Yeah Other than just looking like Mark Wahlberg I mean maybe he has He got skinny for For all the money in the world Come on

He fired Kevin Spacey Come on Come on Do you have a moustache No Mason He's never altered his face Maybe he can't alter his face Because like

It's made of something? Roids. Oh, roids. His face is made of roids. Made of pure roids. Excellent. No, he'll have to grow a moustache. I'm putting him up or down.

Yeah, yeah. And we've got West Side Story. It's another musical. Steven Spielberg's doing it. It's got Ansel Elgort. Mm-hmm. Sure. And then the next movie he's going to do after this is Indiana Jones.

So it's this and then Harrison Ford's back. Ansel Elgort? Yeah. No. He's going to do Indiana Jones. No, no, Harrison Ford. He's taking all the Han Solo roles. That's what I'm going to say.

Yep. And then the last one I've got in here is Coming to America. Is that a sequel to Coming to America? Yes. Everyone's back. Eddie Murphy? Eddie Murphy. Is, um.

Yes. Huh. They're all back. Wow. In answer to your question. I think the villain is Wesley Snipes. There you go. I believe.

Samuel L. Jackson, a seaback. Oh, it's the guy who robs the McDowell's. I said everybody, didn't I? Let me check. What about the guy, the other guy, the second guy? His name I can't recall. Arsenio Hall. Arsenio Hall, there we go.

James Earl Jones. Wesley Snipes. Leslie Jones. Might be uncredited. My pick is that he's like some sort of- Cameo. Cameo and he's like a millionaire now. Yeah.

Might be right. Let me check. You've got to put him in it. Exactly. And also, what are the odds Samuel L. Jackson will not- Yeah. Like would not do a movie? There's no indication of Samuel L. Jackson.

This is on the Wikipedia. I think he'll be in it. That's a definite sign. Because he'll do literally anything. Anyway, that's the year in movies. He'll do The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard. He'll do it. Yes.

Yeah. What a year in movies. I'm excited for some of that. Most anticipated. Picard, which is out in a week. You didn't mention that because it's a TV show. I'm going to go Dune or Dune. I'm going to go Tenet.

I'm going to go Eternals. I missed Godzilla vs. King Kong. All right. They're the same size. Remember? It's true. They are now. Bios with Tom Hanks

has got me interested. Bill and Ted's. Okay. Yep. Yep. Yep. What about you? If you had to pick one.

And what happens to the rest? Can I watch them next year? No, Mason. Or they're burnt away forever. I can explain them to you on this show. I'm just trying to think of how you would mash the explanation of, like, Tenet or something like that. Do a bad explanation of it.

Well, we don't know what it is, so how can I mash it if I don't? No, but after you've seen it, you do a bad job at it. I do a good job. I do a good job. I don't know. Because Tenet probably, but then what if it's like, well, this is just Inception again. Yeah, I don't think it's going to be Inception. Maybe Bill and Ted.

Yeah, right. Okay. Who's directing Bill and Ted? Let me check. Denis Villeneuve. That's a good title as well. Dean Parasot. He did Galaxy Quest. Hells yes. All right, then.

But he also did Red 2. Okay. And Fun with Dick and Jane. So this year we've got a guy who directed Red and a guy who directed Red 2 are making movies. Yes, people who previously made movies are making movies this year. Yeah, but Red, do you know what I mean? But Red, you know.

Because they did Home Fries in 1998. You know what that is? No. Neither. But, yeah, Luke Wilson's in it. Okay. So make of that what you will. It means nothing.

Great. I like Luke Wilson. All right. Anyways, you know what it's time for uh what we're reading what we're gonna read oh my god i'm doing the thing what are we reading today yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah what do you mean raiden oh my god so many things me too so we both watched jojo Rabbit, right?

Yes. What did you think of Jojo Rabbit? I liked it. I also liked it. I liked it more than Hunt for the Wilderpeople. I think I liked Hunt for the Wilderpeople more, but I liked them both. And I really liked Sam Rockwell in it. He's good at it, yeah.

So good. See, I feel like I came out of that and went, that was an enjoyable film, but I feel like a lot of people, especially on film Twitter, are like, this was pretty average. What do you think that was? I feel like a lot of people, especially on film Twitter, are like, this was pretty average. What do you think that was? I feel like maybe it could have gone harder. Okay, sure. Like it was kind of like, this is a light-hearted fun take on the Nazi regime.

I don't think it really was, though. I think it was like light-hearted in terms of like because it's about a kid. Yes. But it's not like the premise is horrifying. It really is, yeah. But it's through the lens of a kid who doesn't understand that. So I don't think it's – I think it just not you're not seeing bodies being burnt yes you know you're asking bodies being hanged well that's true exactly so no i didn't find that did you find

that no i didn't find that either yeah but no i thought it was really funny i thought the leads were good like the kid and yeah i don't want to if you haven't seen i don't want to spoil the other people that are that are in it scarlet johansson was good in it. Yes. His little friend with the glasses was quite funny. Yes, that's true. No, I thought, and the villains were properly villainous. Like Hitler. Like Hitler. Like Stephen Merchant kind of turns up.

Yeah, right, as a friendly SS agent. And the way he, because I saw him in an interview and they said, like he played it intentionally, like these guys were like, they're like pencil pushers. Yeah, like bureaucrats. They were given the opportunity to just be terrible. Yeah, they ran with it. And they did.

So no, overall I thought it was really good. I really liked it, yeah. What else did you see? I've also got here on my list of things that I've seen. Oh, yes. I've been moving it up big time. I saw Uncut Gems. You saw The Lighthouse, right?

I saw The Lighthouse. Yeah, I haven't watched those yet. Really good. Is it still out? Who's to say? But Uncut Gems is coming The Lighthouse Yeah I haven't watched those yet Really good Is it still out? Who's to say But Uncut Gems is coming to Netflix In a couple of days Yes and I have seen that And it's

I mean it's harrowing Okay In a good way Funny? Yes Okay But Is it the best thing Adam Sandler's done

Bearing in mind he's done Happy Gilmore I don't mind Happy Gilmore It's one of these movies that I tolerate I like Adam Sandler Are you telling me I just don't like The terrible films

That he makes But this is a very good movie And he's very good in it Well didn't he say Recently that if this Doesn't get nominated For an Oscar He's going to just make

The worst movie He's ever made Which is quite a That's quite a statement Yeah I don't think he could Even do that No not on purpose

I don't think so Yeah But I was thinking About this to my mate today Nobody's happy about Oscar nominations this year. I mean, nobody ever is. No.

No. A lot of Joker nominations. They're not good. But they're never good. No, it's true. They're always like the same predictable kind of crap. And it's often a lot of times you can... Like The Lighthouse got nothing.

Yeah, it feels... Little Women got Best Film and not Best Director. Right. And I haven't seen it, so who am I to say? But it's a bit odd, right? Yeah. Well, that's the thing. Like, best film and best director probably shouldn't be separate categories.

Yeah. But is the correct answer. But again, I guess if producers do all the work. They certainly do, and they deserve it. But it's all like a campaign and whatever. Like, I saw Mark in Phoenix on 60 Minutes doing an interview, and he's just like, I don't like interviews. But I know that's all part of like...

I like interviews as much as Martin Scorsese liked my film Joker. He thought it was fine, apparently. No, he didn't see it. He didn't see it. I think you said I get it or something. Yeah, right, right, right. I saw recently a piece of the script. You can get the script now.

And there's like a scene direction that's just taken directly out of Taxi Driver. Does it say like Taxi Driver? No, it says there's a line in Taxi Driver about how everybody is trying to be normal or something like that. And they've just put that in and underlined it. So it's like Taxi Driver. I do not want to take away how good he is in that movie because he's excellent. But I watched that bit at the end

where he just tells everybody what the movie's about. Yeah, right. It's like, society's mean to everybody and everybody's just, I'm getting in trouble all the time. And it's like, shut the fuck up. Do something new. Pull a set of bagpipes out of a dragon's rectum. Yeah, I just think it's just kind of,

it's an okay film with an excellent performance what are we talking about joker and but but also the oscars but also like the things it was like it was nominated for like makeup because he's got joker makeup obviously but like things like you know like costumes and cinematography and whatever like i get all of that i totally get but as like the best film of the year yeah right come on get out of it but they're always bullshit. Yeah, for sure. It doesn't matter.

And it's also a lot of times it seems to be very obviously some films just nobody saw them. And this Oscar, the group of people that nominate the Oscars just never got around to watching all the films. And I feel like that's your only role. Yeah. Maybe watch them all. Maybe watch them all. Don't be like us. A podcast is not required to watch all the films. And I feel like that's your only role. Yeah. Maybe watch them all. Maybe watch them all.

Don't be like us, a podcast. It's not required to watch all the movies. We didn't have to watch nothing. Nobody. That's right. 2019 I saw with my family. We all went and saw it. Oh.

It was great. And if you can get past. Well, I understand it if I haven't seen the prequel 1917. I've written 2019. 102nd prequel. You know what I'm talking about. You know what I'm talking about. I'm like, I prequel 1917. I've written 2019. 102nd prequel. You know what I'm talking about. You know what I'm talking about. You're very good. Can't do that.

You squandered that joke. No, I didn't. It's been a long episode. Yeah. But, no, I mean, I'm just looking for cuts the whole time. And you can see it because normally they go indoors and it gets dark and whatever. What's 2019? So it's 1917, sorry.

I'm going to say 1917. But you literally said 2019. I know. Okay. I've written it here as well. That's madness. All right. So I mean 1917.

Go and see it. You kind of got to get past the- I think you go and see it. I have seen it. You got to get past the idea- The man with the ticket. Yes. He takes the tickets.

You got to get past him. But also all these things kind of happen in a row, the things that happen in it. Like the guy who takes your ticket and he says, you've got our Cinema 6 upstairs. Yeah, and he's like, did you get any popcorn? I'm like, I don't normally get the popcorn. I'm not really a fan.

But then what else do you have to get through? Once you're in the cinema. Once you're in the cinema, you've got to sit through a series of ads, mostly about local shops and insurance for cars or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe a lizard tells you to buy tyres or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

And then, you know. Sometimes it's at the sushi hub. Yeah, there's normally enough time where I go, I could probably go to the toilet again. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. The toilet again. Yeah, totally. Okay, right.

But, no, I mean, because there's a lot of, because it's interesting because there's a lot of coincidences in this that happen. But I was watching some interviews with the director, Sam M mendes and he was saying that his grandpa who fought in world war one like the stories he told he said a lot of the things that happen are just a lot of very odd coincidences and things that line up so even so you just kind of so i was kind of like that's a bit odd that that would be that and then this would happen but i can like he did that on purpose to be like just some weird shit happens sometimes.

You know what I mean? Sure. And it also looks spectacular. So go and see it if you can. Why don't you go and see it? I've seen it, Mason. I saw the movie 2019 or whatever we're talking about. Okay, sure.

What else have you seen? What did I watch? Well, I watched The Gentleman, as previously mentioned. I caught up on Titans. Yeah. Season two is out in Australia finally. Oh, my God. It's dumber than the first season. I heard it's not as good, yeah.

Yeah. How's Superboy? Well, the premise of this is in the comic book when Superboy escapes, he's being cloned and he escapes from the Cadmus Labs. He's kind of fully formed as like a teenager. Yeah, right. But in this he's kind of like the emotional response of like a two-year-old. Okay. So he's always like, I just want to eat pasta.

Exactly. Yep. Exactly. Is that what they're all about? And imagine how much pasta a super boy can eat. Two bowls. He'll eat you out of house and home. Two bowls.

Yeah. How many big sandwiches can he eat? So many. So you didn't love it then? I like the characters. It's not bad. I mean, there's some loose ends to be tied up at the end. And also we get Ian Glenn as Batman.

He never suits up as Batman, but in a rare TV moment, we actually get Bruce Wayne in a... What's the occasion? I don't know. I just think it's odd. It was my birthday. He's pretty good at nothing. But again, it's kind of like, you know, it's this... Is he retired Batman?

No, he's still doing Batman stuff. Still doing Batman. Ian Glenn has his hair. They wig him up? I don't think so, but I don't really know what Ian Glenn's real hair looks like. It's a bit thin. Oh, then he's just got that.

It's pretty intense, right? He's in some of the Resident Evils, maybe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's a client of himself or whatever. But I guess it's sort of, it's one of those, it's like Justice League. I've seen it, the movie. It's good. It's not, first of all, it's not.

It's better than Justice League, but it's that premise where, like, the team is now mostly, like, brawlers and also Supermans on the team. Okay, right. And it's like, well. Or a version of. Yeah. Yeah. Great.

So he's kind of dumb. Yeah. He's naive. How's the dog? Pretty good. Gets a look in. Cape? No cape.

What the fuck's going on? Right? Batman no suit. Thin hair. Yeah. Cape? No cape. What the fuck's going on? Right? Batman no suit. Thin hair. Yeah. Dog without a cape. What universe is this? The crap universe for crap things? Yes, the crap universe for crap things, yeah.

But should I watch it? Watch the first season. Okay, you've been saying that for a while. Yeah, first season's pretty good. Yeah, okay. I also watch the first two episodes of the new season of Doctor Who, a tradition I continue every year. I watch the first two episodes and I go, this might be all right, and then I never watch the first two episodes of the new season of Doctor Who, a tradition I continue every year. I watch the first two episodes and I go, this might be all right,

and then I never watch anymore. But I don't think I will. You had a theory, or maybe it was a theory that you saw someone else said that you told me about why Doctor Who is not very interesting anymore. Well, to me? Yes. I don't know about anybody else. I'm sure plenty of people love it.

Well, I was watching a Jenny Nicholson video about the Pirates of the Caribbean. And I think we probably have the same opinion, you and I, that the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie is fun and interesting and the rest of them are kind of bad and not interesting. And I feel like it's that the point is that initially

Johnny Depp's character, Captain Jack Sparrow, was written as kind of like a cool pirate guy and then Johnny Depp added all the flourishes of like, well, he's just this drunk and he kind of like stumbles his way through. And what's he even doing? What's he even doing kind of thing. And people really responded to that and liked that. And then every subsequent movie was that they wrote him as a drunk

and a useless guy who doesn't care about anything. And betraying everybody and everything. Exactly, right. So it gets to the point where in the most recent one, as a drunk and a useless guy who doesn't care about anything. And betraying everybody and everything. Exactly right. So it gets to the point where in the most recent one he just wakes, you know, they want to rob a bank and he just falls asleep in the vault, if you remember that one. Well, I feel it's kind of maybe similar with Doctor Who.

This is why maybe I personally don't like the character so much is that initially Doctor Who was never cool. Yeah. He was kind of. He was curmudgeonly. He was curmudgeonly and like maybe like pleasant and a nice man or whatever. And then when we got to Tenet era, because David Tenet. I mean, and there were variations on that. Yeah, of course there were variations.

But Eccleston, you know, he's a charismatic character as well. But I feel like. The guy with the salary was whatever he was. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Filled with vitamins. Yes. But when we got to Tenet,

he was kind of so charismatic and fun and kind of just a vibe that people enjoy. Yes, yes. And that translated as kind of cool. Yeah. But he wasn't written like, whoa, rad. Yeah, he wasn't written as a cool, rad guy who's always doing cool, amazing things.

He was just a character doing the job of the doctor. He was just doing cool, amazing things. Right was just a character doing the job of the Doctor. He was just doing cool, amazing things. Right, a character that we enjoy and find to be cool. And I think maybe in every subsequent season they're like, well, the Doctor's cool, so let's write him as a cool guy and everybody thinks he's cool and he does the coolest things. And he comes in on a tank shredding a guitar. Exactly, right.

And that's not cool. Yeah. That's lame. That is lame. In my opinion. And he's always got a quip and a whatever. Right And that's not cool. Yeah. That's lame. That is lame. In my opinion. And he's always got a quip and a whatever. Right.

He's got a hot take. And I feel like that is why I don't like modern Doctor Who. Because he thinks he's cool. Yeah. Or she thinks he's cool. I mean, Jodie Whittaker is good. I think they're all good as Doctor Who. I don't think there's really a bad one. Right.

But the first two, the opening two episodes of the new season, it's a sort of a James Bond. It's supposed to be a sort of James Bond-esque adventure. It's a two-parter. It's just a regular episode of Doctor Who with some vague trappings of spy stuff around it. And maybe the Master? Yes. Great stuff.

Exactly. So it was not for me. Yeah. Okay, fair enough. All right. Well, I actually had a question here. This is for letters, but it said, Sean O says, do you guys watch Doctor Who? If so, what do you think

of the current series? Side question, sorry, what do you think of the horror writer taking over the show? I think it was best in the T. Davis era when it was less pandering to a children's audience, child audience. Well, I mean, initially it was for children, wasn't it? Like, wasn't it originally an educational show? It was

pseudo-educational. I feel like maybe they have leaned back into it for subtly teaching kids. Oh, okay, right. Because in this one they go back into various eras and they meet Charles Babbage, the creator of the Difference Engine, you know, like the first computer. Okay, right, yeah. They meet Ada Lovelace and kind of, I feel like maybe they're like,

now it's going to be less about space aliens and cosmic adventures and more about let's go back in time and meet the inventor of the stamp. And what's he about? Stamps. Boring stuff. Stamps. He was like, have you seen this technology? And it's like, hmm.

I think even at the time people would have been like, this isn't that interesting. Like it's new and I get it. Like and you've done a new cool thing. Well, not cool, but you've made something unique but not interesting. We should talk about Dracula next week because I'll watch the last episode. Oh, I'd love to talk about Dracula. Because I see where it's going because I watched maybe the first 10 minutes

of the final episode and I see what's going on. Absolutely I watched maybe the first 10 minutes of the final episode. Yes. And I see what's going on. Absolutely. I get it. You get it. I get what you're doing, whatever those two got. Mark Gatiss and the other guy who are always making these shows that I hate. You're talking about Jekyll?

Yes. What's the other guy's name? Moffat. Moffat, yeah. Moffat and the other guy. Well, he's a Doctor Who guy, isn't he? Yes. The worst ones.

The worst ones. The worst episode. But there's some really good Dracula stuff until... Until the third episode. You'll know. Yeah, I figure. Yeah. Anyways, do you know what it's time for now? Is it time for letters?

It is. Maybe I'll play the letters theme then. I definitely saw and watched more stuff as well. Letters, oh letters, we love you. Some letters, they're only a day away I know they're here right now, we're going to do letters. I was hurriedly scurrying to find some letters while you were talking then, Mason. I hope I was still quite...

Perplexed? No, I was at present in that situation because I put it out just before the show. But, Mason, if you do want to reach the show, hashtag weeklyplanetpod on Twitter. Hashtag Weekly Planet Pod. I probably said that too quick. People also think my name is James also because they say my name is James also, known as Mr. Sunday.

But it's not. It isn't. No, it's not. But also... Pretty good fake name. I agree. Weeklyplanetpod at gmail.com. That's a bad fake name.

I think it's a good name for you. You should change the name to that. All right. What do you got for letters? This is from Harry Pollard. Just a cheeky question, it says. Hey, James and Mace. I've been a big fan of the show for the last four years.

Prove it! Okay, prove it. There we go. Don't make any of these statements without any proof to back it up. Show us your downloads. Show us your downloads. You boys have really helped me through some of the tough times of my life. Made me laugh when I was down, so I've got a lot to thank you lads for.

Now, a quick question. What movie TV show would you say is a staple of Melbourne? For example, Birmingham has the Peaky Blinders. Essex, we have Gavin and Stacey. Which James you'd like but Mason you'd hate. We'll see about that. Prove it. Prove it, Harry.

What is the TV show which Melbourne takes pride in? Underbelly, but just the first season. Yeah, right. So we have an anthology series called Underbelly. So basically there are a bunch of local dumbasses around here and eventually they all just shot each other. Yes, that's it really. And then they made it into a series.

And there's maybe one left. And he owns all the cafes. One dumbass. really, yeah. And then they made it into a CD. Yeah, so it's... And there's maybe one left. And he owns all the cafes. One dumbass. Yeah, exactly. He owns the La Poqueta restaurant chain. But yeah, it's about... It's Underbelly's like, you know, as the name suggests, it's about kind of the seedy underbelly of Melbourne.

And there's been... There was one set, you know, in the 90s. And there was one set, you know, there was one called Underbelly Razor, which was set... Like the 30s, maybe? Yeah, like the, you know, the was one called Lunderbelly Razor which was set... Like the 30s maybe? Yeah, like the, you know... That was a 70s one or whatever. Yeah, so there's been various eras of that.

Do you think that's it? What about The Secret Life of Us? Yeah, well, good question, Mason. I think they're not taking... And that's not... And that's not stuff anymore. Like, what's a new... I don't know, I don't watch...

It's all reality television these days. I don't want to sound like one of those guys like it's just all reality television. But it is. Yeah, right. It's all that on variations days. I'm going to sound like one of those guys. It's just all reality television. But it is. Yeah, right. It's all that on variations of like Doctors, but it's serious. The sexier bit. The sexier bit, yeah.

You know? Yeah. So I don't know. I don't think there's been anything particularly outstanding from Melbourne lately. I often think to myself, wouldn't it be great to be one of the ten people in Australia that gets to be on television? Oh, my God. Can you imagine? One of the ten people that gets all the hosting roles

and all the reality shows? Oh, my God. And then you do a Holden Commodore ad. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Look at you, Roger Korsner. We've got your number, mate. That's right, Roger.

Look at you, Samuel Johnson. Yes. Sacred life of us. Sacred life of us. Yeah. Voice of Hungry Jacks. Yes, he is. Burger King in the US.

Do we have an iconic Australian? I'd say probably Underbelly is, because it's all filmed in Melbourne, set in Melbourne. Bunch of local dumbasses. That's the thing, because there's almost no... Australia's... All Australian TV stations are required to have a certain

amount of Australian content, but it's not regulated what it is. So all we have on Australian TV is reality shows. I would say Rake, but it's Sydney. Oh, yeah, right. I don't mind Rake. It's got Richard Roxburgh, Alex G's own.

Oh, yeah, that's true. It's Jason Rakeson. Yes. Look, there's a great Australian TV show called Rosehaven, but that's set in Tasmania. It's in Tasmania, yeah. We don't have anything set in Tasmania. It's in Tassie, yeah. We don't have anything. That's fine.

It's all coffee culture here, mate. It's coffee culture? Absolutely. It's all just interviewing a barista. The third season of The Leftovers is set in Melbourne. Oh, we didn't make that, did we? Is it filmed in Melbourne? It's filmed and set in Melbourne.

Oh, okay. Yeah, it's really weird because it's like I know that place. Probably one season of Preachers in Australia. Is it? Yeah. Coffee culture. Coffee culture, mate. Just go to a,

find a laneway. Yeah, my God. Don't be spooked by the graffiti. That's right. Just keep going. You'll be right. Go to Federation Square.

Go to the Apple Store. The Apple Store. The Arachonic Apple Store. Oh my goodness. Didn't they stop that though or something? I don't know. Who cares?

I've got to stop saying who cares, Mason, because I don't want to become my thing for the year. I do care. I care deeply, especially about this. Hopeless Rome antics. Anybody out there also, if you live in Melbourne, first of all, say hi if you see me.

Secondly. Oh, yeah. Phil. I met a listener called Phil this week. Hi, Phil. Hello, Phil. I mean, I said hi in person, but hello again. Hello, Phil. Yes. If you're in Melbourne, what. I mean, I said hi in person, but hello again. Hello, Phil.

Yes. If you're in Melbourne, what's your iconic? Because there's got to be some stuff, right? The art house. The castle. But, I mean, that's an iconic Australian airport. Yeah. I mean, it is Melbourne, isn't it?

Yeah. Because it's set near, I mean, the airport is in Melbourne. It's in Melbourne. I guess that's true, yeah. Got any bushfires going on in Melbourne at the moment? Probably eight. Yeah. Oh, I forgot to mention it up top.

Yes. Soflop are doing a charity drive for the bushfires. Yes. We'll mention that up top next week. I mean, not for bushfires. Yeah, they're for them. Oh, my God. They want to keep them going.

Oh, no. Come on, Charlie will. I'll link that below, but we'll mention it up top next week. Okay, cool. Yeah, it's because, you know, the country's on fire. Yeah. That's what happened over the summer. That's right.

The country was on fire for a lot of it and still is. Yeah. We also might be doing something related to it, live show related. There's more details on that soon. Starting bushfires live in the studio. Come along. Yeah. What else have we got here, Mason?

Anything else? I've got one more. Okay, you go for it. Okay, this is from Professor Axman. Great name. Disney is making... Oh, no, I've got two more. Sorry.

This is from Hopeless Rome Antics First, because I never read this one. With the rise of D&D popularity, do you think a Dungeons & Dragons movie would actually be any good? No. But if you did it as like a sprawling saga of television stuff, yes, probably. Why not a movie though?

Because they take too long to make and then people forget and their fantasy movies don't do well or are good generally. What about? Lord of the Rings, yeah. That was like fucking 15, 17 years ago was the last one that was good. What about the TV show Game of Thrones, but you take two of the episodes, you put them together for like a two-hour movie-length episode.

And it feels just like a movie. You hire out a theatre and then you screen it in a theatre. So release that, is what you're saying. Yeah. How would that feel? Yeah, that'd feel like a movie. Why not a Dungeons & Dragons movie? Because they've done it already and they're bad at it.

Yeah, but that would just... And there's so much in it. Like, there's so much. I know, but you could just do like a small adventure small adventure or a big adventure but i also feel like the problem with a lot of the dungeons and dragons movies is that they're just generic dungeons and dragons okay whereas in the dungeons and dragons universe you have a lot of like different campaign settings and different universes and planets true yeah and I think if you picked one. Yeah.

Because, you know, a lot of these. Like pick an era and a thing. I guess like Warcraft did. Like there was a lot of it and they went, we're just doing this. Because, you know, there's like, because when you think Dungeons and Dragons, a lot of people think, okay, well, it's just, you just. Wizards and Dungeons. You just invent a town and it's got an old sage and a bartender or whatever.

But if you go, okay, well, there's the Forgotten Realms universe, and it's a very specific universe and planet, and it has iconic characters in it and iconic storylines and things like that, you might be able to put it in there. Imagine all the things you could pull out of a dragon's ass. Yes. God. Bagpipes.

Mostly bagpipes. Mostly bagpipes. The funniest instrument. Maybe a tuba. A ballista. A barista. Yeah. Whatpipes. Mostly bagpipes. Bagpipes. The funniest instrument. Maybe a tuba. A ballista. A barista. Yeah, what's he doing in there? Coffee culture. Yeah, that's right. In the laneway up there. Yeah. Got another letter there though?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I can do another one. I can do another one. It's from Professor Axeman. Disney's making National Treasure 3 with Nicolas Cage. Thoughts on this? Maybe a caravan of garbage is in order. Maybe it is. Which is the one where they steal the Declaration of Independence?

Is that the first one? That's the first one. That's the one I've seen. Maybe I've seen the second one, though. They steal it again. Do they? Yeah. They shouldn't.

They should go to jail. Was there a map on the back of it? Yes. Cool. I think. What kind of wigs are you going to have? Just an enormous one. Just stack it on top of the wig he comes in with.

Exactly. That's right. Yes. How many wigs high can you get on that, man? Are you looking forward to this? I feel like people were very excited and I was like, take a leave it. Because I've always been a Sahara. I hit my mic.

I've always been a Sahara defender, Mason. And they came out at the same time. Sahara. You've got to pick one. Sahara's way better. I agree. Anyway. All right, this is from Nidorino Alliance.

It says, uncomfortable shows. I've recently picked up The Boys on Amazon from your review and found it really tough to sit through. The Boys. I deal with death in the scene with the deep and starlet early on, so I watch Good Omens instead. I'm loving it so far. Are there any shows or movies that other people absolutely love The Boys. Man, I don't even know where to go with that. Well, you have to go somewhere. We're going to sit here until you think of one. Is there something I've started to watch or quit or something I don't want to go back to, what are we talking about?

Either one. So just something you like. Or even like, because I feel like there's things that I've watched where I'm like, that was very enjoyable. Well, it wasn't enjoyable. Like, it was worth watching. But never again. But I'll never watch it again.

Yeah. You know, as an example. Yeah, as an example. I can't think of one. I blanked them out of my mind. I've been watching You, that one about the stalker or whatever, and I'm like, I hate this guy.

Yeah, right. And it's kind of stressful because he's going to get caught, but also I hate him, so it's not like it doesn't matter if he gets caught. Yeah. But I wouldn't re-watch it,

but if there was another season, I'd probably watch it. That's how I feel about a lot of true crime stuff. I don't really listen to anything true crime or watch anything true crime. Well, a lot of people recommended, and I watched Don't Fuck With Cats, and we got some tweets here about it. Oh, that's about some internet guy who has videos of killing a cat and they track it down.

And then it escalates. Yeah, you won't enjoy it, but it's just like, what the fuck? It's just that. And I would never watch that again. Yeah, but you feel enjoy it But it's just like, what the fuck It's just that And I would never watch that again But you feel it was worth a watch? Yeah, definitely See, I feel like Maybe I've been burned by true crime stuff

It's like, well that's an interesting insight into the human mind But also, yuck No thank you I don't need that rattling around in my brain anymore Because that opens with him Putting two cats in a vacuum sealed bag and then sucking the air out of it. Right.

And that's a real thing. It's a real thing. And that's how it starts. Yeah, right. So it's like. And then he becomes an actual murderer or something? I don't want to spoil it for this real life thing that happened. Okay, all right.

For people who haven't seen it. But it does escalate just a tad. Boo. Yeah. Yeah, so we both had a thing then to say it anyway. We sure did. That's the show? Yes.

Great. We're back for 2020. But this is it. We'll be back. See you next year. That's right. We'll be back, mate. So we're going to do 2020 next week, aren't we?

Yeah, we'll talk about all the... If anybody has a very favourite... Because we're probably going to talk about a lot of movies next week. If you've got a favourite TV show or video game, maybe that's set in 2020. Have you got a book? Got a book set in 2020? Let us know. Send us your favourite book set in 2020 and we'll read the summary of it and make fun of it.

Yeah, that's right. It'll be really good. No fanfic. Well, if you kept it brief. If you kept it brief, yeah. Anyway, thank you everybody for listening. Thank you everybody for coming back for 2020. Oh my goodness. If indeed you kept it brief, yeah. Yeah, right? Anyway, thank you, everybody, for listening. Thank you, everybody, for coming back for 2020. Oh, my goodness.

If indeed you have. That's right. It's a really good point. Yeah, I hope everybody had a nice break from us. Yeah. I always worry nobody's going to come back. Yeah, well, we don't know yet, do we? No, that's true.

You can do it in-app. It says, worst hair. It says, I'm sorry, but John Travolta's hair in The Fanatic is by far the worst hair of the year. Look, technically, yes, but that is a man with, like, learning disabilities. Oh, because he's got that bowl cut. He's got that bowl cut and whatever, and it's a wig in real life and whatever.

But, like, that's a man who's, like, clearly got some mental health problems. John Travolta. John Travolta, but also the character he's playing. Right. So it doesn't count. Sure. Because it's, like, a guy with that haircut who's like that.

Right. That's, you know, what do you expect from him? Anyway, is it a good review? Yeah, it's five stars. Okay, great. That's why I'm saying we didn't pick that hair as worst hair. Yeah, right, right, right. It's supposed to be cool and edgy.

We talked about it enough. That's very true. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, what's the rest of the things you said? Look, if you'd like to get in contact with us, perhaps for that thing we said earlier about 2020. Oh, my God. You can get a hold of us at Weekly Planet Pod at Facebook.
