This podcast is part of the Planet Broadcasting Network. Visit planetbroadcasting.com for more podcasts from our great mates. Welcome back everybody to another episode of the Weekly Planet where we talk movies and comics and TV shows. My name is James, also known as Mr. Sunday. With me as always is my co-host Nick Mason. Don't panic everyone. I'm not panicking. I wasn't.

No. Don't panic. I wasn't. No, don't panic. I wasn't gonna until I saw all the newspaper headlines that were like, society is doomed. Eat all your cats. Okay, but did it say that the pop culture industry is going to run out of content? Well, some of it is, yeah.

But anybody who just has like a podcast that they do out of a spare room at the back. Still got plenty of content. Oh my God, we're hermetically sealed out here in the man cave. So obviously everybody knows this in the world. Literally everybody. Oh, my God. Okay.

Everybody out here, we're going to tell you some stuff you probably already know. But if there's one guy out there who this is news to you, email it. Let us know. Because this would be fascinating. This is a fantastic social experiment. I think it's just good if we're all on the same page. I think so too be fascinating. This is a fantastic social experiment. I think it's just good if we're all on the same page. I think so too, yeah. There is a global epidemic.

I mean, most of our podcast is just telling people stuff they already know. That's true. Ultimately, you know. That they already read at comicbook.com or whatever. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, global epidemic, obviously, the coronavirus, everything is shutting down, closing down,

self-quarantine, sometimes enforced quarantine, et cetera. Don't touch your face, which I did mere seconds ago. I put my finger right in my eye. I also touched his face. I didn't mean to. There's just not a lot of room in here. When we make big gestures. We make big Italian gestures.

That's right. Yeah, so this is basically the everything is cancelled episode of the show because it's just me listing things being like, this is cancelled, this is cancelled, this is cancelled, this is cancelled. Did you see that video? It's in Italy. It's all the people that quarantine in the homes, but they're all on their balconies and they're all saying a beautiful song.

They're all making a pasta. Okay, imagine that, but it's the Mentos music. Fresh goes better with Mentos, fresh and full of life. Fresh goes better. I feel like there's a marketing opportunity there that's oh my god oh i cannot in in a couple of months time when there are things in the shops to buy again sure there's gonna be an ad of people just everybody everybody's singing on their balcony but it's for like insurance or whatever like car insurance you're absolutely right maybe that gecko that sells

oh yeah the geico gecko yeah so I hope everybody's safe as well we just put up if you haven't got the weekly plan at USB

which is entirely possible we put up the Avengers Endgame audio commentary for free on Patreon it's open that's an open post so you can just go there

and download it and go for your life it's on Bandcamp as well if you want to go through there. On Bandcamp as well, yeah. So if you do want to pay for it but don't, obviously. So just go through. Here's a blanket rule.

If you currently cannot leave your house due to some sort of viral infection, we really insist you don't pay for it. Yes, that's right. Exactly. You're a captive audience. That's good stuff, Mason. But no, don't pay for it. As far as this goes, though, we're just going to,

it's business as usual, I guess. Yeah, that's true. And when we talk about the movies that are cancelled, there'll be some changes to some scheduling, obviously. But I think this is the least of people's concerns. That's true. And generally speaking, I think, you know, and also we talk about this every once in a while,

it's kind of tough if there's a big blockbuster movie every week. Yeah. And then we talk about it. This is the cursed monkey's paw. Right. I think we said, oh, we're so sick of it. And it's kind of like, you know, we'll be like, we're going to talk about the new blockbuster movie. And a lot of people like, well, I can't get out to the movies for whatever reason.

I'm busy. I got work. You know, movies are expensive kind of thing. So we're going to have at least a couple of months, I think, of just being like, what's on the television? Let's talk about that. We'll just talk about Bloodshot again because it's the last movie we were able to see.

And I think we were the only ones that saw it. Yeah, maybe. By the looks of our cinemas. Yeah. Anyway, let's get into it. I'm just going through things. Like there's updates to this. There's updates as this is happening.

So things that I'll say here will probably change by the time this goes out. But this is just as of right now when we are recording this. So Shang-Chi was one of the earlier ones to be postponed. And that's being filmed. Being filmed in Australia right now. The director, Destin Daniel Cretton, was advised to self-isolate. He has a newborn. Apparently this virus doesn't affect children,

speaking of which i'm having one in a couple months so it's really exciting so this is reverse children of men it's exactly right all the babies the babies oh no there's gonna be a boss baby there's gonna be a gangster baby with a big cigar and a hat oh my god there's gonna be an immortal joe baby except they'll call him young joe that's right's going to be a baby that pretends it's the last adult. It's just three babies stacked together. Oh, my goodness. Wow.

Yeah. Just imagine the movie Gremlins 2, all the different gremlins. There'll be a baby one, yeah. There'll be one that's a bat. Yep, that baby. It's going to be crazy. So, yeah, that's because we kind of were talking about last week what's happening with, you know, obviously,

I was going to say Die Another Day. What's the new one called? No Time to Die. No Time to Die, yeah. No, it's called Die Another Day. Make that a poster. It's just Die Another Day now. I feel like that joke has run out of steam now, don't you think?

We've just hit Die Another Day. James, you don't know how a running gag works. How a running gag works is you do it a couple of times and it gets more funny, and then you do it a couple more times and it gets less funny. And people complain. People start complaining, and then we keep doing it, and then more people complain and stop listening to the podcast

and unfollow you on social media. Then you keep doing it, and we've never gotten that far before. So who knows what happens? I assume it gets more funny, and we get sent a million dollars. I think Die Another Day is the perfect title for that movie now considering what's what's been happening okay here's what i'm worried about is that daniel craig is now in self-promotional hell because his least favorite thing i feel about even even more so than being in these movies and making them is being on the trail the the promotional trail and people asking him dumb questions all the time

and comparing him to all the other Bonds and all this sort of stuff. And is there going to be – I know you definitively said this is your last Bond you're ever going to be in, but is there time for more Bond, more James Bond for Daniel Craig? Is he going to do more James Bond considering it's such a painful process for you? More James Bond? Anyway, it's going to be six more months of that probably. This is going to be the year that Daniel Craig

beats an entertainment reporter to death. And he could. Did you see his ring? Oh my God, Mason. Right? You mean his dick? Yeah.

Yeah. No, he's, he's bought, right? Yeah. He's 50 now. He'd have to be right. Something like that. Yeah. Looking good.

Yeah. I mean, there's, they have, they have some chemical assistance. Excuse me? Yeah. Yeah. There's a hormone replacement.

Like a carrot juice? Like a carrot juice, exactly. Good for him. Like testosterone, because apparently your levels drop as you get older and whatever. Remember we got that insane email? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I do remember that. Yes.

Okay. I read it at that live show. I've lost the live show. The live show we did with Will and Charlie. Yes. I can't find it, so I'm going to have to hunt around for it. Oh, so it's still, you didn't, you didn't, it's not that it deleted itself. No.

It's physically somewhere in your house. It's somewhere and I don't know where it is. Okay, right. I'll figure it out. Okay, great. The other thing is Jurassic World, Jurassic Park World Dominion, it's going to take a two week break minimum. I was going to say, just side note, does Daniel Craig even take his shirt off in this movie?

He'd have to. Because otherwise, what are you doing it for? His wife. I think he's doing it for himself, Mason. Can't a man just look good for him? I know because people think that's sometimes lame and gay. You take pride in your appearance. Isn't there that theory that

a lot of guys, you've got a friend on Tinder or was on Tinder who said a lot of guys are afraid to take nice selfies because they're worried that it means that they've put in any effort. Exactly. If you do more than one take. It's usually just a guy with sunglasses in his car. Exactly, yeah.

Taking a photo, yeah. Sorry, you were saying? Yeah, so Jurassic Park 3 is World 3, whatever, being delayed. Two-week minimum. It's going to cost $300,000 for this particular delay. This could obviously extend. The other thing is in terms of movies, Ridley Scott's The Last Duel. Do you know what that's about?

Is it a sequel to Duel, that movie about the haunted truck or whatever it is? What's that movie about? What's Duel about? It's not a haunted truck. No, no, it's good. It's Spielberg's first movie. That's true. It was a telly movie. No, no, it's good. It's Spielberg's first movie. That's true. It was a telly movie.

You say that as if. It was before Jaws. That was very disdainful of all his work. It's like his first movie. No, I was thinking about it as in like, is it his first movie? Okay, right. Because I think it was technically a telly movie. If it's on VHS, then it's a movie.

But it was a lot better than anybody thought it would be. And it is good. It's about a guy who's harassed by a trucker. It's Jaws, but it's a movie. So, but it was a lot better than anybody thought it would be. And it is good. It's about a guy who's harassed by a trucker. Okay. It's Jaws, but it's a truck. Oh, and they have to keep driving the same road or whatever. And he's like, oh, that truck's coming again. Yeah.

That truck's coming again. They should have called it that truck. That truck's coming again. Yeah. We're keeping the weekly planner posters busy. Yeah. You know, it's isolation. You got to do something.

He'll go mad otherwise. We're helping, aren't we so Ridley's got I was gonna say it's one of those dual e-cigarettes it's the last one on earth in the apocalypse

so what it actually is this is a fun one former best friends Matt Damon and Adam Driver oh my god in real life yeah that's right I put bad characters names without French

so I just switched them okay nice are ordered to fight to the death after Matt Damon accuses Adam Driver of raping his wife in 14th century France. I hope it's set in the modern day. But they go back in time? No, but the accusation is, you stay away from my wife in 14th century France.

You get out of it. I know what you did. I know what you did hundreds of years ago. So, yeah, that's not happening. That movie I didn't know was happening is not happening at the moment. We're talking big events though. E3 is cancelled.

It's astounding that we don't see, because you know what it's always like, oh, there's a new costume for Captain America. We've seen it on the set footage. We leaked the set footage. We got the telephoto lens and we did it. Where's the, look at this photo of Adam Driver in ridiculous pantaloons. He's got a hat with and we did it. Like, where's the, look at this photo of Adam Driver in ridiculous pantaloons.

He's got a hat with a feather in it. Yeah, he is known for wearing his big old, big ridiculous britches, isn't he? Right. He's known for it. Anyway, I'm sorry, continue. No, that's fine. As no surprise to anybody, as many events were,

E3 was cancelled. Jason Schreier, a video game reporter, he's known for breaking great scoops and doing good journalism. Good for him. He did a really good article, I believe, on the video game crunch period. Oh game reporter, he's known for breaking great scoops and doing good journalism. Good for him. He did a really good article, I believe, on the video game crunch period. Oh, yeah, that's right. I think I read that.

He did one particularly focused on Bioware's anthem, where they were just like, the Bioware magic is going to come together and like Knights of the Old Republic and the games of old, this is really going to become something at the end. Turns out that doesn't just happen. It didn't, and it's not a good game. But they still crunched?

They still crunched. Okay. And when they released the trailer for that game, the first one, whatever event it was, people working on it went, oh, so that's what this is supposed to be. Okay. All right. Cool.

Okay. It's a really good article if you can find it. Read it. If you can't find it, it's fine. So does that mean there's less crunch? No, there's still crunch. Okay, right. Some, I know Rebellion who did the Sniper Elite game, which I

really like the Sniper Elite games. They pride themselves on not doing it, but I know The Last of Us, there was a thing this week about The Last of Us and how, even though the game was delayed, it didn't lessen crunch. It's still happening a lot. The guys who are doing the Sniper Elite games, I think they've released a game recently. It's a zombie hunter game, but it's like, the lot the guys who are doing the sniper elite games i think they've released a game recently it's a zombie hunter game but it's like the only way to kill these

zombies is with a complicated sniper mechanic well when you see all their internal zombie organs we know you did a sniper game it is that yes you're right but it's more close quarters run and gun as well those sniper elite games man they I remember I've got I played the most recent one It's just It's a solid game man Mechanically very good And it's like It throws you into a little map

You do one little map at a time And you go on your little missions Oh yes Shoot your little sniper rifle Shoot your little sniper rifle Eat your little rations Shoot a guy Up in a bell tower

Yeah that's right Oh I hope the man I'm going to shoot Will arrive soon But in the meantime Yum yum These are rare during the war That's right Oh, I hope the man I'm going to shoot will arrive soon. But in the meantime, yum, yum. These are rare during the war. Ooh, duck la ronde. It's French rations.

It's mostly French rations, yeah. But apparently, though, according to Jason Schreier, Warner Brothers were going to talk about their new Batman game. Oh, no. It was that Court of Owls game. Yep. That was going to be maybe a reboot to the continuity or a prequel. It's by the same people who did Arkham Origins, except they had more time.

Oh, okay, right. That's how that game got, because we did an episode on it. I hope that's how they opened it. It's the guys who didn't open Arkham Origins, but they've got more time. It's way better. More time. I think there is some open Arkham Origins but they've got more time it's way better I think there is some good stuff in Origins it's just not quite

it's polished yeah I agree there's some good boss battle stuff and there's some good story stuff and I also think they were kind of

I feel like maybe they were hamstrung by the aesthetic of like it's fresh new Batman and he's not it's snowing yeah exactly and it's snowing and it's fresh new Batman and he's not. Yes. You know, he's not as weathered.

Yeah, exactly. And it's snowing. And it's snowing. Yeah. They're also going to reveal that Harry Potter game that leaked a while back. You know, that third person Harry Potter open world adventure maybe in Hogwarts like 200 years ago. Oh, I've seen the leaked footage. And whatever Rocksteady were doing, whatever that is, which is probably another Batman game also. I don't know.

No, I don't know. Rocksteady were doing, whatever that is, which is probably another Batman game also. I don't know. I don't know. I just had the idea of like a Harry Potter game, except it's a side-scrolling beat-em-up in the style of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game. And you can switch between the characters?

No, it's four-player. Who's the fourth one? Dobby. It's six-player. Who are the six? It's six players because then they get to use that X-Men arcade cabinet. That old school one had six players and they've never used it ever again. Harry,

Hermione, Dobby, Not Ron. Not Ron, just to be clear. How about we use the game as just all the Weasleys

but not Ron? That's great. Weasley family but not Ron. Did you ever play one of those remastered ones because they remastered The Simpsons

and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Oh, I never did. You can get it on the PlayStation Store or whatever. They're good but they're mostly the same kind of. It's more the spectacle Oh yeah for sure i mean the though any any game like that loses a

lot of its tension and luster coins when you don't have to put a coin in every 10 seconds kind of thing like the the thrill of those games is how long am i going to last before i'm killed and i have to put another coin or a teenager pushes me pushes me off. Exactly, that's right. A cliff. Yes. One of those guys that would just hang out there and it's like, are you even a teenager? Yeah, right, exactly. You're 23 at the arcade pushing kids around. I know I'm quite young and it's hard to determine your age,

but I think you're in your mid to late 20s. Yep. Yeah, are you my dad's age? What's going on? But yeah, like those games where it's just, they're fun. Like, especially the Ninja Turtles game where it's like you're grabbing guys and you're flinging them. You're throwing guys.

And they're robots. Grabbing guys. You're throwing guys. They're robots or whatever. That's right. It was on the side of the cabinet. Yeah, but they were all the same. Like, it was that and there's the Alien vs. Predator

and the X-Men one that you mentioned. We did Captain America and the- Oh, the Avengers, yeah. We did that. There's an old Cabin of Garbage. I think it was a Never Go Back now at this point. I can't remember. But yeah, they were basically very similar.

Exactly, yeah. But good stuff, though. Yeah, good stuff. Yeah. The Little Mermaid remake was supposed to film in a week with Rob Marshall. That's not happening anymore. Oh. You wouldn't think anything would throw a spanner into the works of the Disney Corporation.

There, here we are. Turns out. Off the back of that, there's some other Disney things that aren't happening. The Honey, I Shrunk the Kids reboot, or I guess sequel, because Rick Moranis is back. Yep. They're giving Peter Pan another go for some reason. Okay, cool.

What are they calling it this time? Pan? I think it's Peter and Wendy or something like that. Yeah, just Peter. Pete? P, yeah. Turp? Turp, yeah.

Turp? Look,, yeah. Turp? Look, we did Pan and that didn't do well financially. We tried Peter, it didn't work, so it's now Turp. Took the middle bit. You'll believe a man could be called Turp. Yeah, does that mean it's set in the middle of the movie? Like it's an interquel? Oh, good question.

Yeah. Yeah, maybe. It's set. Because Pan was the prequel. movie? Like it's an interquel? Oh, good question. Yeah. Yeah, maybe. It's set. Because Pam was the prequel. Yeah. Is it set? Hook was the sequel. It's set before Hook where he's a grown-up man

and he doesn't believe in magic anymore. So it's just impressing Japanese businessmen, which is what everybody's job was in the 90s in movies. Yeah, maybe. You've got to impress these Japanese investors. He's really trying to make him. which is what everybody's job was in the 90s in movies. Yeah, maybe. You've got to impress these Japanese investors. He's really trying to make him. He comes in and he bows, but they go to shake hands.

They're like, no, they're both trying to be so accommodating. And yeah, he's just trying to have a normal job. That's the whole bit. It's very, very unfulfilling for him. Terp. Terp. It's unfulfilling. Yeah. So, yeah, Anya It's unfulfilling. Yeah. So, yeah, Anya Shrunk the Kids, not happening.

Home Alone. I said that. Home Alone. He wants people to call him the torpedo. That's his nickname. But they won't do it? They won't do it because it's too awkward. You want to say turd-peto?

No. No, no, no. Turd-peto? No, no. Look, it's... Oh, never mind. The Home Alone reboot is also not happening. Oh.

So there you are. Variety's Justin Kroll is also reporting that King Richard, the movie which is apparently happening, Matrix 4 and the Batman and Fantastic Beasts are going ahead as of Monday, but the situation is fluid and could change, but Warner Brothers is not planning on shutting down production based on Disney's decision.

But since then, Batman has now been put on hold for a couple of weeks. A couple of weeks. They're going to move it to Liverpool or something, and then they were like, let's just not. Okay, right. What do you think the – somebody's going to be like, well, if we take advantage of this, we can have the only movie that comes out. Like when this is over, if we get in first,

we'll have the first movie that comes out after all this isolation. I think that's what Bond probably was backing up as well. Yeah, right. So do you think people are going to, I mean, I will be, once this all shakes out, I'll sort of be fascinated to see how these movie studios adapt to this. Like some people are going to cancel and postpone. Some people are going to be like, let's green screen everything.

Yes. Let's build. Like it surprises me that Disney hasn't gone. Let's biodome this. Yeah, let's biodome it. Let's build a hermetically sealed studio filled with green screens and you have to like airlock your way in and out and put on your pantaloons or what have you and go in there and film.

And yeah. That's not a. I mean, a lot of those movies will probably be bad. Sure. That's what I want though. Yeah. Right. Bad movies.

Yeah. Well, I also think what's going to be interesting is what's the first of the movies that are being delayed, which we'll get to, which is going to go to streaming. They just go. Yeah. And I think that's going to change a lot of things, not just for now, but down the line. Forever more.

Forever. Yeah. Because speaking of, Mulan was put on hold. Oh, release-wise, yes, because it's going to be out next week. It's going to be out next week. I mean, speaking of, just side note, because I was in the movie theatre this week, and it's taunting us.

There's a little flashing, like they've got a big screen in the theatre of all the upcoming movies, and the New Mutants has been delayed yet again. Absolutely. We were so close. Here it was going to be April the 9th. If anything goes to streaming, it's that, right? Yeah. I don't know. Did they film in 2016? I don't right? Yeah. I don't know. I just, yeah, it's, did I film in 2016?

I don't know. 2017? I don't know. Who knows at this point? What if it's good? It might actually be good. Might be all right. Yeah. Apparently some people are like us.

And there's apparently the most recent trailer is quite good. I didn't watch it. I'm like, I don't need to watch any of this anymore. I'll watch it if it comes out. Right. Enough of this hyping myself up for this amazing movie I've been looking forward to for 10 years. Yeah.

Yeah. But Mulan, though, it's not going to go to Disney+, apparently, because it's such a huge production. Right. So it's in their – if they want to make their money back on that, they're going to have to wait and release it internationally. Right. Because they already lost China.

Yeah. And, you know, everybody who signed up to disney plus for the mandalorian and other bits and pieces there's there's not enough people out there who are like well i didn't sign up for that yeah but i will sign up for milan but i do wonder if they release it like a movie ticket you buy through disney plus uh-huh not that necessarily but if it's new mutants or whatever they go you pay 20 bucks 20 bucks and you can have this. I don't know. Because what they did do, they moved up

Rise of Skywalker a couple of days and they also pushed Frozen 2 which was supposed to be out in three months and Disney Plus now. Do you want to watch Frozen 2 Mason? I'd be able to watch Frozen 2. I hear it's not as good as the first one. I don't think so. According to Claire it is.

Here's the thing though, I feel like if you, if they say, listen, if you pay 20 bucks and you get to see New Mutants on Disney Plus, then they're going to make

20 bucks because as soon as one person watches it, they can just can it. Well, that's the other thing. In the safety and security of their own home.

Unless Disney sends men with night vision goggles to everybody's house, which I can't rule out, to be honest. Yeah, sure. In hazmat suits. But, like, if you can see the screen, there's people out there – you know what?

There's people out there already, like, building a TV mount for their camera because they can just have a perfect – You can just screen capture. You can just screen capture in software. It's the easiest thing in the world to do. Yeah. I've done it for stuff that I've had. Remember that Shazam Caravan of Garbage? Yeah, of garbage yeah right i don't know what kind of crazy fucking

software that had on it but i couldn't get the video files off the disc so i just ended up having to screen record it using a capture card yeah well why never yes i didn't want to get you involved i didn't worry about you complicit well now you have having and i have to get you involved. I didn't want to make you complicit. Well, now you have, haven't you? And I have to report you to the authorities. I go over there with the night vision goggles on. James did this. I actually bought the DVD, though. Yeah, I know.

Because I even tried to, like, there must be, like, torrents of this. And they were all dog shit. So I had to, they were all, like, VHS scans or something. So I had to buy them. It was a nightmare for a thing that I didn't really enjoy doing at all. But at least everybody in the world watched it that's true everybody in the world

did watch it Quiet Place 2 has also been pushed back John Krasinski released a statement because of Globals whatever and I want this to be

a thing that people experience in cinemas and so on so that's happening I was going to say that look it may also be

in poor taste but I did laugh somebody on Twitter I wish I had – I didn't retweet it, but I should have. Somebody put up a – somebody was like, hey, don't worry about the coronavirus, guys. I got this. And it was just a whiteboard, like the Quiet Place whiteboard,

and it was like coronavirus, blah, blah, blah. What is the weakness? You know that? You know that one? Yeah. I was looking forward to that. Yeah, me too. Also, Marvel's, not Marvel's, Falcon and Winter Soldier has been delayed.

Razzie's been postponed. We're going to have to hold on to our Falcon and Winter Soldier secret. Very true. A hot scoop for even longer. Can we hold out? Yeah, probably. Probably, I'll forget it. Supernatural is suspended production. So, I'll forget it. Supernatural is

suspended production. So, yeah, it's all... Grey's Anatomy? What are they doing? Well, they're already equipped, aren't they? That is very true. They're not real doctors, are they? Well, they might have to become real doctors. I don't mean to panic

everybody. They might get trapped in the hospital and have to become real doctors, but all their equipment is prop equipment. They might become the best doctors. Blood scalpels. They might all leave and they're like, were you guys okay there? And they're like, yeah,

but we've got the cure to coronavirus because we had to do it with plastic scalpels. Yeah, absolutely. Speaking of, this isn't to panic anybody. I was speaking to the doctor. Well, I'm panicked already, honestly. I know, it sounds bad.

Don't open with that. I don't mean to panic you, but. No, I was speaking to a doctor that I know. I know. I worked in a hospital. And he was saying that they called a staff meeting. And they were like, this is going to be the busiest six months of your life.

So you better listen to the Weekly Planet podcast. It's on all your podcast platforms. Yeah, you have to listen to it. They haven't done that video feed that they've been promising for two years. We don't have any updates on that, unfortunately. But you can put your wireless headphones in under your scrubs, under your mask, no one will notice while you're doing a surgery. So it's fine.

So that if they get the coronavirus, the doctors, they just have to put on hazmat suits and go back to work. Wow. And off the back of that, if they get so bad that they can't work, then they can go home and rest, but then they have to come back as soon as they're a little bit able. It's not really a panic thing. It's just more of a, you know, that's kind of where they're at.

They're preparing for the worst, not that it's necessarily going to be the worst. Well, it is because they're listening to the Weekly Planet podcast, so it is going to be the worst. The idea is it seems to be that the more people stay at home the less this is going to spread because it's not about you i know because people are like well why can't i go out or whatever i'm healthy yeah but do you know somebody that you don't want to die james is just segwaying into a thing he said before the podcast yes it's seamless but i noticed i didn't look i didn't mean

to but i'm just i just don't understand it it's not about whether or not you're gonna get sick if you're you know somebody who who has an ailment or is elderly or even if you don't understand it. It's not about whether or not you're going to get sick. Yes. Do you know somebody who has an ailment or is elderly? Or even if you don't, maybe you just want to pre-cook that. Exactly. You might have it, but you're not displaying any symptoms, but you could give it to somebody who will then be in a very bad way. Exactly. So anyway.

And I know at the end people are like, well, at the end that was a big beat up over nothing. Hopefully it is. Hopefully all the quarantine. And usually that's because big beat up over nothing. Hopefully it is. Hopefully all the quarantine. And usually that's because everybody quarantined. Because people stayed at home, yeah. That's it. I don't know, man.

I just don't understand. Just listen to the Weekly Planet podcast. That's all you need. That's all you need. Medical professionals, if you're out there. Yeah. The other thing is Disney parks have closed. Right.

The grand that we had a Melbourne Grand Prix is done cinemas around the world are either closing or some are selling half tickets to reduce the number

of people to come in there's that much opening at the moment anyway that's true and of course the Melbourne International Comedy Festival

or you can watch half the movie everybody can stay there you can watch half of Bloodshot yeah or you can and then you can leave yeah

and yeah the Melbourne International Comedy Festival is cancelled for the first time in 30 years or something like that. So we know a lot of people, obviously, the Planet Broadcasting Network and just people that we know who have comedy shows which are affected by this because it's a large chunk of their income. It's not the saddest thing in the universe. It's obviously happening at the moment. There are people obviously worse off.

Yes. But there's a number of people on our network who had shows coming up yeah doing the think tank and it's an investment you pay you pay a lot of money to be in the festival and promote it and and hire a venue and all this sort of stuff and then i don't know i don't know at this point because the announcement was made on a friday afternoon so we don't know yeah who is what how the refunds are working do they get their money back, et cetera. But it's this big investment, and then hopefully what happens

is they sell enough tickets to make a profit on that. And so it's kind of, everybody over this weekend is kind of in limbo. It's like, am I going to make, am I going to get my money back or am I going to just lose thousands of dollars? Yeah. So just looking at the list, this is just the people that we have in the network. So it's Do Go On, Don't You Know Who which is you know josh earl uh steel was going this

year uh no i don't think so he's in town i think so we should say hi okay i didn't know he's in town uh two in the think tank are doing a comedy uh a sketch show some of these also are going to be uh have some of these guys have mentioned that they are going to be maybe moving it to later on in the year. Yes. So everybody should probably look out for that. But yeah, Teleport is their show. Jess Perkins and Matt Stewart from Do Go On. Will Anderson is doing three different shows, or was doing three different shows.

What I'm going to do, a lot of those people I think have Patreons. I'll link that below if you want to listen to their shows or contribute some. I mean,'s that's one thing you can do especially if you are currently quarantined if you if you haven't listened to any of these podcasts i might recommend some more later but uh yeah if you just want to get a handle on these guys maybe just listen to their podcast tell a friend nice review yeah sign up to their patreon whatever you want to do because we'll be fine mason won't we yes we're incredibly successful and we would never have a live show we'd never lean on it would we that's and we would never have a live show. We'd never lean on it, would we, Mason? That's true. We would never be so bold. No, we certainly wouldn't.

No. Because we're cowards. Because we're cowards. That's exactly right. And that's why we're living through this. Cowardice. Cowardice. That's what gets you through in the end, isn't it?

Yep. So that's most of the things that have been. That's how you get through a zombie movie, cowardice. It is. Until one's in the. In the backseat, yeah. Backseat, yeah. That's it.

So that's all of cowardice. It is. Until one's in the backseat. Backseat, yeah. That's it. So that's all of the things. It is.

So, we're talking about the Bloodshot movie now, aren't we? Yes, we are, yeah. It's going to have an $8 million to $10 million opening on a $45 million budget, whether that be a result of self-quarantine or because people weren't going to see it anyway. Who's to say? I'd say it's probably both.

Sure. Does that surprise you that it's had such a low opening? No, because I have not seen any advertising for it. Yeah. I think other people have seen a little bit, but not a darn thing. Yeah. So it's directed David S. Wilson, who's worked on a lot of visual effects stuff and CGI cut scenes for KOTOR.

He's worked on Bioshock, Force Unleashed 2, worked on Age of Ultron, special effects for that. co-tour he's done worked on bioshock force unleashed 2 worked on age of ultra on special effects for that he also did the uh he also directed the short film sunny's edge from love death and robots oh yeah right so he's got a background and that kind of comes through i feel in in this but what do you think the story was james james you got me i did didn't i you got me i never know when it's gonna arrive but usually after a long spiel where you're trying to distract me maybe i should start this spiel and then just yeah right even before i say what movie we're talking about i just launched straight into it maybe i get you before the show yeah right i record you on my phone oh yep nice classic prank okay isn't it yeah uh

anyway he's a guy his name's bloodshotshot. No. No, he is though. Not his name. His name's not like Jason Bloodshot or whatever. It's Mr. Blood's Hot. Okay, sorry. And they combine it and then it's a cool code name. Yeah. So Mr. Blood's Hot because he runs so hot because he loves a couple of things.

He loves America. He loves a beautiful woman. He loves shooting terrorists. Yeah, he does. He's in the army or something. The Marines? I don't know. Or something. Special forces. We don't really know. We don't terrorists. Yeah, he does. He's in the army or something. The Marines? I don't know. Or something.

Special forces. We don't really know. We don't know. Navy SEAL? Yeah. Definitely one of the ground guys. Bit of an unreliable narrator. Yeah.

Anyway, his wife is killed by the terrorists, but then, and he's killed by the terrorists. Side note. And then? And then they bring him back to life. And then? And he's got cool powers. And then? And then they bring him back to life. And then? And he's got cool powers. And then they're like, blood's hot. What if we?

What if we? Ooh. Mmm. So yeah, he's got. It's his hot Latin blood is what it is. That's right. Also Vin Diesel's in this movie. Also Vin Diesel.

What do you think of Vin Diesel in this? I don't mind him. You had a, last week you were like, why would you build a super soldier out of a 50 year old man? Uh huh. Do you still find that the case to be? They're good at cutting away. Yeah, I think he's pretty convincing.

I thought you were going to hate this movie. Do you hate this movie? I didn't love it. I can't say I hated it. I didn't mind it. I think it's pretty good. I think if this is the last movie I get to see. Oh my God, if this is the last movie, Mason,

I will shoot myself. If this is the last movie. James, your blood's so hot about this movie. If this is the last movie I get to see in cinemas for like six months, I'm okay with it. No. I wasn't like, this is what a waste of my time. I want to go out on Milan or Black Widow or A Quiet Place.

I want to go out on this. I don't want this to be the last bit of entertainment media I consume in a cinema. Not ever. Yeah, but you never know how bad things are entertainment media I consume in a cinema. Not ever. Yeah, but you never know how bad things are going to go. Oh, no. Not to panic everybody. No, I don't think that's going to be the thing. I don't think it is at all.

Yeah, I know. But here's the thing. I think about this movie. Okay, if you didn't know, if you hadn't watched the trailer prior to this. That's a massive problem. I think you would be pleasantly surprised by this. So if you haven't, if you are, okay, here's the thing. If you are in a location where they're letting you still go to the cinema,

all the cinemas are still open. Yep. And you can go, maybe check the ticket booking website before you go in. And if there's like nobody else there and you can be like, I can be the only person in the cinema how many people in your cinema like three people i think it was me yeah and another guy who was on his own sitting next to him no and in front of him was another guy that was on his own but it also looked like they were one of them was the other one's dad it was like i nearly took a photo but like you shouldn't take photos of people you

don't know because they physically look the same yeah but like one was older you think they were and i'm like am i am I in this line? So if somebody took a photo from behind, am I like the oldest? Yeah, right. And they got younger. So you don't think they were an estranged father and son team? I'm like YouTube reviewers. Maybe they really got into Bloodshot in the 90s as a father and son team.

Yeah. And now they review movies, but they're having a falling out. And so they don't speak to one another, but they will get together to watch the, to do, to review it on YouTube. Yeah. I tried to get them to make up at the end of the movie, but they pretended they didn't know what I was talking about. Anyway, my point is that if you can see this movie safely,

I've lost my point. Oh yeah, don't watch the trailer. Yeah. Because this movie is quite interesting in that if you watch it initially, you'd be like, there's a lot of cliches in this. Yes. But there's a reason for that. Yeah.

But if you watch the trailer, you know what that reason is. Yes. Which makes it way less interesting. Because he's like, oh, my God, I love my guns and my girl, and I love, oh, my God, everything's so romantic. I'm taking my shirt off. I'm showing you my vest. Oh, my God.

He's in his vest in about four minutes. No, it's his white singlet. Yes, yeah. Is that a vest? Some people call it that. In England, you'd call that a vest. Get the fuck out of here, England. Get the fuck out of here.

Yeah, get out of here. No, I don't buy that. Yeah, that's his look, though, isn't it? That's true, yeah. He cannot wait to get out Of his army for teas And just throw him away And then kiss his gal

What did you think He was waiting He was waiting for him At the Yeah it was like A Michael Bay Get off the plane And your girlfriend's

Waiting there in a sports car Or whatever Yeah We'll talk about that But I think The supporting cast Was good on the whole Yeah we've got

I like his guy In the van guy a lot I like the Guy Pearce guy Yeah he's the guy In the van I really I supporting cast was good on the whole. Yeah, we've got... I like his guy in the van guy a lot. I like the Guy Pearce guy. Yeah, his guy in the van, I thought he was quite funny. Because he's from New Girl and other things. Oh, yeah. The guy in the van guy can often be... They exist on a knife edge.

Makes or breaks. Makes or breaks of being like, oh, I like this guy or this guy's profoundly annoying. They can skirt the line often. Because they don't often have a lot to do, and they can also often be put in the position of like, I'm saying a wacky thing to the hero, and the hero's like, hey, shut up.

I'm doing stuff. Shut up. English, moron. Shut up and look at the screens in the van. But sometimes they have to go out and do some action, and they're not quite ready for it. That's not what they signed up for. That is some ready for it That's not what they signed up for That is some of my That's not what they went ready for that

I'm just a guy now supposed to be in the earpiece But now I am the earpiece Now there's another guy That's not what I signed up for Who do I talk to if I'm out here Who's on the earpiece Another guy, different guy The janitor

Some of my favorite episodes of tv shows are when the guy in the van the guy in the van has to go out of the van yeah it's really good don't they do it in simon peg is the guy in the van and then he becomes an agent a full guy who's not a guy he does not in a van who's the guy in the van then i guess they take turns yeah i guess he's the guy in the van who's the guy in the van get jeremy renner back he was at least there was a great guy in the van yeah Who's the guy in the van? Get Jeremy Renner back. He was in those movies. At least there was a great guy in the van. Yeah. He had to go.

Speaking of lockdowns, there's an episode where they're all locked in their headquarters bunker situation, underground bunker, because I think there's a virus. I don't know. And he has to go out, and he has to go out in the field, and they coach him. It's fun. Is he all right?

Yeah, he does fine. Oh, that's really good. He did fine. I'm not normally. I'm not normally the kind of guy out there is not the kind of guy I'm there. He comes up to a security checkpoint and they're like, papers please. And he's like, I'm not normally the guy that I'm there. I'm the guy that I don't know what to do.

And then I just let him through. He's clearly having an issue. He's like, yes. Yes. I made it. He's made it. I think there's some spectacular action scenes in this. Yes.

And there's some other ones which is just CGI men falling over each other. Yeah, that's true. It feels video game cut CD. Yeah, I mean, given that, what did you say, it cost $45 million? That's not, it's looking pretty good. Like this feels more like a Deadpool in that they've got a limited budget and they know what works and they know when to spend the money and when not to spend the money.

Yeah. There's a moment in particular where he goes into a tunnel and there's a flower truck and the flower truck explodes and then everything's covered in flower. Yes. And then he does these action scenes. And they're like chipping away at him and his nanites are reforming his face and whatever.

And I think that's the highlight for me. Yes, but also the crashing of the flower truck, it looks kind of bad. Yeah. That's one of the CGI. Yes. It's not a real truck crash, it's cgi yes truck crash yeah and then at the end it's vin diesel versus another guy with eight arms or something and um and they're just falling off yeah an octopus he's fighting an octopus in

an aquarium but it's got extra metal arms yes it's got 12 arms yeah right but i never felt that he was in any real danger. And we'll talk about that more in spoilers, but his powers are so beyond the other people that he's facing. Right, yes. It's like, well, this guy's got extra arms. So you can unload a shotgun into this guy's face and he's fine. Right, yeah.

But that being said, like, I think the rules are better defined than I thought they would be. And I think the guys, what I appreciate in this movie is it harkens back, James, to X-Men 1 in that you've got a couple of guys who don't have the greatest powers but they know what they're doing with them. Like one of the guys, he's got bionic legs, and there's one guy who's got bionic legs. Yeah. And there's one guy who's got like... You can see everything. Like he's got enhanced vision or whatever.

I like that. And he can use traffic cams and drones and all that sort of stuff. And so if you put him on a motorbike, he's a great like chase guy because... He's never going to get hit by a car and he's never going to hit a pedestrian or anything. And then there's a woman who can hold her breath or whatever. Hold her breath a long time. Yeah. Yeah.

And Guy Pearce has got a robot arm. He's got a robot arm. Yeah. Yeah. That's cool, I think. Yeah. Yeah, and Guy Pearce has got a robot arm. He's got a robot arm. Yeah. Yeah. That's cool, I think. Yeah, good robot stuff. That's a good-looking robot arm. But no, I think the end fight is,

it does look like a video game cutscene of guys tumbling down scaffolding and being like, what's going on here? That's true. And whatever. Anyway, should we do spoilers? Let me think.

Is there anything else I can say without spoiling this? Yeah, it looks good. Good performances. Pretty good. Good performances. Pretty solid. Good performances? Well, you know. Performances. Performances.

Definitely performances. Yeah, I wouldn't say there's nobody in this that's bad. I would say that. But it's not like, wow, look at the acting going on here. No, and nobody really has to. And I think Vin Diesel actually does quite well in this. Like, he gets mad. But you don't often see him.

No, he doesn't. Does he? Yeah, I remember when they took his son see him. No, he does it. Does he? Yeah, remember when they took his son or something? Oh, yeah. In one of those movies? Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right. He'll do it. Yeah, I reckon pretty solid all round.

I'm going to say worst movie ever. I'm going to say best movie ever. Yeah. And for me it is a shame that. The trailers didn't help my decision. Yeah, for sure, exactly. Yeah, look, don't watch the trailers. It's a shame that this has come out.

I think this might have been a little bit of a sleeper hit. At a better time? At a better time, yeah. You might be right. And it might go on to be that. Because I would kind of want to see another Valiant movie. Me too. Who was behind?

Do you know who paid for this? Sony did this. But now their properties, I think, are scattered. They were initially going to do a universe, but now I think some of the... We've talked about it recently, but some of the rights went. Okay. Well, if all the rights were together,

I wouldn't put it past them trying with another one, like another valiant property. But I guess now, who knows? Who does know? But I mean, also, potentially what happens here is all the quarantines are lifted and there's not another movie coming out for six months and the only movie in theatres is Bloodshot.

That's right. So people will just have to watch Bloodshot. Again and again and again and again. It'll beat Endgame. Yeah. Hopefully. That's a dream. Spoilers.

Yeah, spoilers. So it turns out that his memories are not his own. Yeah, which we know from the trailer. Yes. That's what they put it in there. That's what they said in the trailer. But I went beyond what I remembered from the trailers in that even his origin story of how he became Bloodshot is fabricated.

Yes. So we don't really know where he's from. That's true, yeah. You're right. Which I liked. So how this whole system works is he was a, he believes he was a special forces soldier. He kills some terrorists.

They come back and they kill his wife and then they kill him. And then he's brought back as Bloodshot with his superpowers with no memories, but then he remembers that that particular terrorist killed his wife. So he goes on a revenge mission to kill him and then they shut him down and they replace the memory of the guy who killed his wife with a different guy yep and then reset everything and then when he wakes up he remembers that he goes on a revenge it's memento exactly yeah it's guy pierce oh my god uh and that that continues for some time yes uh

yeah and so so the idea is that guyce, evil scientist who created some of this technology, wants to eliminate everybody else who has knowledge and access to that technology. And so he's just going through them all. The interesting thing about this is one of the henchmen, the guy with the legs, the metal legs, he really hates bloodshot. Yes. There's not a real motivation for that. It's just that he's had to do

he's just had to do this like four times yeah if it was sick if it was like we've had to do this every day for for five years he's killed hundreds of people and i keep having to go through this weird memory theater with this guy i don't understand why you're mad but he's like we've had to do this to kill five guys how many chewing gums he sticks under the thing yeah yeah right i enjoyed the bit where they they rig him on the phone for the second time and he's like, where are you going? And he's like, how are you talking to me? And he's just like, oh, this fucking guy again.

Like every time. We told you about the nanites. Come on. It's just, come on, guys. So, no, I really enjoyed that it wasn't just they got him from an accident and they deleted some memories. They basically rebuilt his entire origin. Yeah.

So we don't know what his origin is. And I guess he just broke up with his girlfriend because he sucks a bit. Yeah, it seems that way. Oh, no, it's because he kept. He kept doing missions. He kept doing. So I guess he was assaulted. We know that he was.

Yeah, he'd have to be because he's. Yeah. But his ex-girlfriend or wife was like, okay, you keep going away on these dangerous missions. I can't deal with it anymore, so we're breaking up. But in his mind, they got married and were still together. And then I thought that was a great scene where he goes to visit what he thinks is his wife,

and she's like, is there something wrong with you? What's happening? What's going on? Yeah, I agree. You got the bloods hot, I knew. Because at the start, because they kill her, they fridge her, basically. And I'm like, fuck this, really? Yeah. But it turns out that the reason for that is because-

It's a cliche. It's a cliche that they was built into it intentionally. And apparently it works on people. Yeah. Because it's basically, they're reenacting a scene from Reservoir Dogs. Like it's that kind of like a pop song and you're tied to a chair and you're being tortured. Yeah, that's true.

Well, that's interesting because we spoke about when we talked about The Invisible Man, there was a couple of people in my theatre who were like, this wasn't the movie I was expecting. I'll leave. I wonder how many people, again, will go into this movie and go, this is cliched. And I'm sick of these movies where it's a guy dancing around a psycho killer and then he kills somebody.

Yeah. I'm going to leave. And I wonder how many people would just go without uncovering the rest of this movie. How many do you think? 1,000 people. Wow. Yeah.

Yeah. So 300 screenings. Wow. Yeah. That's incredible. Yeah. Yeah. So 300 screenings of this movie. Yeah. That's incredible. Yeah. So it feels like the memories that they left for him were also the ones that meant that he was a bit of a renegade.

Because you know at the start he storms that terrorist facility or whatever. And they're like, don't go in. And he goes in by himself. And then later it's kind of worked into his personality where he is the kind of guy to go rogue and not listen to authority. So they clearly put that bit intentionally so he would go off and be like, well, this is the kind of man that I am.

Maybe he isn't the kind of guy who goes rogue at all. He might not be. He might be very straight-laced. Makes you think. He might be the opposite of a triple X. Yeah. One X. One single X.

I didn't honestly hate it. I just didn't think it was super compelling overall. And there's moments like at the end when Guy Pearce is shooting rocket launchers into him and all these nanites are coming off and he's turning into the bloodshot that we know. Yeah, that's right. Like all these colours gone out of him. He's got the big bloodshot on him. And they're like, oh my God, he's overheating.

He's at nanites. They've worked into overtime. He can't keep doing this. Oh, he's exploded. Oh, he's fine. Don't worry about it. He's fine. He just didn't die. Some aspects of this movie, it's this kind of thing where you shouldn't really think too hard about it.

So we will do it. Because he blows up at the end and then when he wakes up he's in a very sophisticated medical facility. But it's in the back very sophisticated medical facility, but it's in the back of an old trailer. Yeah.

When did they build that? When has anybody built anything? All right, exactly. In their spare time. Oh, yeah. I don't know. Wiggins. Wiggins, am I right?

That's his name. He was good. The tech guy Wiggins. Is he from the comics? I don't know. I don't know enough about Bloodshot. I was not a Bloodshot guy when Valiant was a thing. I mean, it's still a thing, but.

I was reading the recent one where he has to go across the country to get all his nanites back. He looks like Kratos from the God of War. I was enjoying that, but I stopped reading it for whatever reason. Bloodshot, give me back my nanites. Give me that. Give me that. I thought they were going to use the nanites that they took from him

in the jar to, like, revive him. To be like, all these memories in these jar nanites. Yeah. It's fine. And there was that kind of like, there is some cop-out dialogue at the end where it's like, and I fixed all your nanites now, so you'll never have to do this again,

get your nanites fixed, because I fixed them. That's great. I'm Wiggins. Yeah, I'm Wiggins. It was good, I liked him. Yeah, I liked him too. Overall, they made this movie, and it came out just in time, obviously. That's right.

Just in time to save entertainment in the year 2020. So, look, yeah. Look, I know I gave it a worst movie ever. But now you're changing it to best movie ever. No, but I'm saying if you've somehow got to here and ignored all the parts where we spoiled everything, yeah, you should go to this, I think, if you're looking for something a little bit. But if you know all the things that we've just told you, don't worry about it.

Yeah. Wait for streaming, I guess. Yeah. Which could be next week. You don't know. Would you like to have seen him more bloodshot coloured? Like the blue and the light grey or whatever he is, depending? Yeah.

Yeah. But I mean, we did see him covered in flour, which is almost as good. I thought that was all we were going to get. Yeah. But then we get at the end, he does a little bit more, doesn't he? I like the part where Guy Pearce shot him with a grenade launcher. Yeah. It's a good effect.

It's a great effect. Where you get shot in the face and it like repairs. Repairs? Repairs. Repairs. Cool. Blood's hot. Anything else?

No, that's it, I think. Now, normally we jump to what we're reading, what we're going to read, Mason. Oh, yes. But I figure because it's a special occasion, guess what? People are looking for a little bit of entertainment in their lives, a bit of love. A bit of spice. A bit of spice. A bit of spicy love.

Guess what's back, Mason? I don't know. Hate mail? Yes. The hate hasn't hated it. Yes. For those people who don't know, hate mail but the hate has an eight in it is a regularly occurring segment in the show where I take eight bits of hate mail from my YouTube comments

and I read them out on the show, except it's never eight. It's always more than eight. But it's always hate. Yes. So, yeah. I've been having a good run lately. I'm excited for this. I'm very excited.

Now, these aren't all from one video? No, they're all over the place. They're from different videos. If I've written down the name of the video, it's because you kind of need to know that going into it. Otherwise, it can be from any video. We produce a lot of hate. Almost anything we say can set people off.

Oh, my God. You are not wrong, Mason. Okay, so this one says some John Johns. Oh, the Martian man himself. Has he spelt it with Zeds? Yes. Okay, on YouTube, can anyone have any username? If he's taken John Johns, can anybody else take it?

You can change your name, but it doesn't mean your channel's name is called that. Okay, right, right, right. You two boy-lover dipshits. That's when there's caps, I should point out. Right, right, right. Nothing but shit-talking C-bombs. You didn't say C-bomb. Oh.

Get of the welfare and go get some jobs. Fuck you and fuck your channel. And then it's like an emoticon of a sad smiley face, then a fist emoticon hitting that. Yes. And then it says us next to it. So we're punching the sad face? emoticon of a sad smiley face, then a fist emoticon hitting that, and then it says us next to it. So we're punching the sad face? Or it's the US punching.

I don't know. Oh, okay. Or us, maybe he's a group of guys. I don't know. That is a strong start. Sometimes I'm like, how much hate is there left in the universe? But there's enough. So that's not a specific video.

It is, but I don't remember which one. He's just decided. Because you pointed out last week, if you have a YouTube channel, and there's a YouTube app, like a creator's app, and every time somebody comments on anything, you get an alert. No, well, I turn that off, but I can, yeah. It's probably good for mental health. It definitely is. But you can just watch them roll in.

I can. And you've put up a lot of videos, so there's a lot of comments coming in. You're not going to believe it, Mason. God, that guy, that's a lot of levels for this guy. But I guess that could be applied to any of our videos. Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

So we're boy lovers. Boy lovers, dipshits, shit-talking C-bombs get of the welfare. Oh, is that our video where we were talking about how we're cheating the welfare system? Yeah, that's right.

Yeah. I thought I took that one down. We're on the dole. We're also getting cash in handwork. Now off to love some boys. We don't even monetize these. We're on the dole. We're also getting cash in handwork. Now off to love some boys. We don't even monetize these because we're on the dole. Yeah. This is from Gus Belanger.

Fuck me. If I didn't already know tits came in pairs, these two would confirm the hypothesis. They must have won gold in the Australian, or New Zealand, or wherever the fuck. Too clever by half Olympics. It's like listening to an AM morning radio show in Australia reviewing a TV show. Do these two halfwits think they get paid by the joke?

You know, these days I don't expect anybody to treat Star Wars franchise with any actual respect. Lord knows the fans don't anymore and you can make a decent argument for why they don't. But I get the feeling these guys would make jokes at their sick mother's expense if she was in hospital. I don't suppose there's any room in between your terribly, terribly light-hearted, brackets light-headed, banter for an actual review of what Blindy and the Beard is endlessly chortling about. No?

Are you blinding? Yes. That's a new. But I also have a beard. Oh, because we're an AM radio team. Yeah. Wouldn't that be an FM radio team? I think AM is different in America.

I think the AM stations are more like FM stations here. That makes sense. Anyway, it makes you think. You should have done his research. Because what happens there is he's come up with the name of the beard for me and he's like, well. But it could be me because maybe you're wearing glasses in the image of you. Okay, it's a good point.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is good stuff. Maybe I am blindy. As that comment was rolling in, I'm like, it's either a DC fan or a Star Wars fan. I don't know. Because it's like, I can't believe you don't take this seriously, this thing. It's not serious enough.

Why aren't you making jokes? It's not fair that you make jokes about a thing that I like. You've got to take it seriously. No, we can. I'll make fun of anything. I'll make fun of things that I like. But we should take it seriously. No, we can... I'll make fun of anything. I'll make fun of things that I like. But we should take it seriously. Yeah, it's a good point, actually.

Andy Schultz says, you guys do realise all the numbers for Star Wars and the comic book movies produced by Disney are fake numbers, right? Like, for example, the most... There's no punctuation in this. This is one roll-on sentence I should point out. Like, for example,

the most recent Star Wars one-word numbers are actually fake. It only made somewhere around $150 million, not the reported the reported 550 million because disney doesn't like to loose so they fluffed the numbers by buying out theaters all over to make their ends meet as in m.e.a.t of the film they even stated this is one sentence i can't stress that enough they even stated before it that that they were going to respect the fisher family and yet what they did they do a cash grab and use carrie fisher who was long dead before it came out they butchered the whole law of star wars one word just so they could rewrite the last three films by making the books

and other media of star wars no longer canon so they could js then it's dot dot dot the only successful part of the comic book films was the Avengers series. Look. Some hard facts in there. I can't dispute anything he said there. They're buying out cinemas. They're buying out whole cinemas. That makes sense.

Yep. Incredible. Why would they spend hundreds of millions, billions of dollars a year on films and then spend an additional billions of dollars to go and fill out the cinemas. That's the worst strategy. But they do get half of that money back, obviously, because it goes back to them. Oh, yeah.

Really, they're only spending $250 million on tickets. That's a good point. Look, we're going to have egg on our faces if it turns out that that's true in a couple of years. They reveal that it's all, yeah. It's just a self-perpetuating Disney machine. This is from Bolt Castrofer. At this point, the name's not really relevant, are they?

I don't know. Some guy on the internet said this. Yes, this is from Biggest Box Office Bombs. I don't think that's relevant. But I don't know, guys, but I really hate hearing you talking gibberish. So random and can't seem to stop. Please stop showing up on my YouTube recommendation. That's your own fault.

That's nothing to do with us. You've clicked on something to do with us. You've clicked. That's really good. It's your own fault. You can actually, I've said this before, but you can actually, if things pop up in your recommendation, there's a, click the dots next to it and you click remove and you'll stop.

So you do that a few times and you'll never see one again. There you go. Okay. This is from Star. I mean, gibberish and you'll stop. You do that a few times and you'll never see one again. There you go. Okay, this is from Star Wars. I mean, gibberish is not wrong either. No, that's true. This is in the Star Wars is ruined video. Remember that video? It's not a real video about criticizing Star Wars.

Yeah, right, right, right. Because Star Wars is always wrong. That's right. Every generation, somebody's like, well, it's wrong that they did this. Yeah, okay, yeah. Exactly. So this is from No Bull Shit, but it's two I's in shit, and no bull is one word. It's no bull's hit.

It's a bloodshot situation. Okay, right, sorry. Yeah. I believe black people are overrepresented in American movies, especially sci-fi movies, just straight out of the gate. I remember when I worked at Blockbuster, and back then black people didn't rent sci-fi, generally speaking. There might have been one or two once in a blue moon that would rent

a sci-fi movie but nowadays who's watching that either who's been like what is it what are the different races got a little checklist down below the counter yeah well you got a lot of time on your hands if you're working on a blockbuster i guess that was the king job to have well i really wanted that job yeah but nowadays you weren't racist enough that's a problem damn it finally you know it was just below the cutoff of acceptable racism. You're like, you're pretty racist, but you're not racist enough. But nowadays they seem to be in every sci-fi movie, and it doesn't seem like they need to do a great job of acting either.

I don't have a problem with black people being in sci-fi movies at all. Well. Well. It just seems suspiciously strange that there are so many movies at the same time. Movies are becoming woke feminist movies

that emasculate white men. It as if our movies are being sabotaged. Our movies. Our movies, yeah. Because he's a guy

that worked at Blockbuster so he's an aspiring filmmaker. Yeah, his movies. White guys should only be and make movies. Be and make movies for other white guys. He's so close to that.

All these people, they're so close to a revelation of like, why don't people go see movies that they're not represented in at all? Yeah. But when they are represented in a movie, they see that movie. Isn't that crazy? Isn't it? Because in my experience. In my anecdotal experience of presumably working in a really white neighborhood.

Well, that's the other thing, isn't it? Like, where did you work? Where do you live? I don't know. It doesn't matter. Why are we defending? I live in Sweden. Yeah.

This is from Come Get. This is when I talk about how the emperor came back. He took some transgender meds and voted left, so the dark side let him in. Obama's dark side. Nice. Good timely current reference. Good work there.

Great stuff. This is from Freak of Nature. You guys don't have the brainpower to understand the genius of BVS. Yes. It's back. It's back. It always surprises me when it's like, people are still talking about it. This isn't fromBS. Yes. It's back. It's back. It always surprises me when it's like, people are still talking about it.

Because this isn't from 2016. No. This is from currently. Just stop bashing it already, because you guys sound uneducated. That's very true. Here we go. This is from Joel D.

We'll never escape that membership, man. Is this Joel D? Oh, my God. Actually, it doesn't look like him in the picture. He got put in Twitter jail this week. I don't know if you're aware. He's out now, isn't he? Yeah, I think so.

Yeah, he said. I thought he was very reasonable in his assessments. Yeah. Sounds like a couple of guys trying to defend the Green New Deal. Honest and enthusiastic, but still misguided, unrealistic. Follow-up comment five minutes later. Yes. Dude's constantly worrying about spoilers for

20 plus minutes. Apologising like a dude at the water park with his women's studies classmates any time he unconsciously looks below eye level. There's a lot of things that I feel like people also take into themselves. They bring their own issues to the comments, I think.

And also maybe fantasies? Yeah. Like a women's study water park excursion. Yeah, the women's study water park excursion. Yeah, you know. Oh, that's a kind of women's studies.

I get it. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, I get it. But yes, that guy's really brought in... I feel like if you got a snapshot of all his comments,

like you could really build a profile of that person. Just like, oh, I get this guy now. Yeah. I don't want to hang out with him but i get him uh this is from uh brennan no i wish hey james i know you're looking through the comments to find some hate mail for the segment of the podcast but the hate has an eight in it so i just want to take the time and say thank you and remind you that the majority of everyone that listens to your podcast or watches your videos loves what you and May so do and that only a small fraction of watchers and listeners feel the need to leave hate and that's why it's so much fun to make fun of them.

That's not, I don't know. Get out of here, Brendan. Get out of here with your positivity. Get out of it. No, I appreciate that. Here we go. Roger Martin just says, Rot says rotten tomatoes is pc bullshit it sure is sure is that aggregate of we should look i i think i mentioned this to you before

off air i i feel like maybe we should do a video on what rotten tomatoes is i don't think it'd help i think the people who think this uh like most people will be like yeah we know and then there's people like yeah but the user score is more important or whatever and just that's oh my god uh harry so it should be called how rotten tomatoes works brackets and we know this won't help yes it's not a bad idea harry murray says well this video was a jumble pile of hot garbage thanks for wasting my time uneducated foreigner you're welcome. Just happy to help.

Yeah, happy to help. I mean, you know, people got a lot of time in the day. Take notice. Foreigner also. I know. He didn't click. You don't know where he is? I know.

I didn't. The ship America. I mean, he's got a Kratos avatar. So he's Greek. He's Greek. Typical, isn't it? Yeah, absolutely. It's so weird that it's like i'd never understand that there are

other places like in the like a foreigner to you is not a foreigner to somebody local to me yeah it's yeah you're a local to me james thanks mason i wouldn't punch you at the at the surf beach well i consider you a foreigner just so we know okay this one take notice uh this is about how the emperor came back terrible video and you're wrong. It was brought back by Disney and JJ using cuck power of Star Wars fans. I mean, that has aged badly because obviously we know that he's a clone. So that's inaccurate. Yeah, that guy should probably re-edit.

And probably a virgin also. He is giving the thumbs up and he's wearing a suit. It's also an edited comment so i don't know what it was before oh you can't tell that's a shame uh this one just says dumb shit brit so it's dumb dumb shit but it's an n so it's a he's calling you dumb but he's got a typo in his comment yes and he thinks you're a brit yes nice this is from uh sinak mob okay can you guys just keep talking and stop fucking adding in these shitty gay little jokes that are not funny at all like I enjoy the content and what you guys are saying?

Incredible. But you don't have to add shitty fucking garbage joke every five seconds that adds nothing but pain to an otherwise informative and good video. Like I always have to skip the first 15 seconds of your videos because it's always just stupid, dumb, fucking, unfunny, shitty jokes. We appreciate the support regardless. Absolutely. I mean, if you're watching the whole video, that's really, really nice.

So what is he? And I don't want to make that assumption, but it's always a guy. It's always a white guy. It's a cartoon avatar. He's a fox or something and he's got a very... No, he's a man. What do you like about... Is it just our relaying of facts?

Information. Some people do like that. Yeah. Because, for example, in a recent video, we did the Star Trek Generations. Yes. And you said the captain of the new Enterprise is Cameron... I'm sorry, is the guy from Spin City.

Yes. And there's a lot of people that are like, that's Cameron from fucking Ferris Bueller or whatever. But it's like, yeah. But people expect us to name the role that everything, that a person is in. Yes. Otherwise they're like, I can't believe you said that

and you didn't say the other thing that he was in. Don't believe you didn't mention he was in an episode of Scrubs once. You know, it's. He was in an episode of Scrubs once? He was in an episode of Scrubs, yeah. Oh, maybe I remember that. Like he's in an episode of Scrubs once. You know, it's... He was in an episode of Scrubs once? He was in an episode of Scrubs, yeah. Oh, maybe I remember that. Like, he's in the new show about the Murdochs, but it's not the Murdochs or whatever, you know?

Okay, well, I'll be sure to add and other things. We've talked about this, but most people just want a list. Not most. Some people just want a list of things. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, of facts. Just go to IMDb. Should we do a video that's just a list of the guy

who was Cameron in, Ferris Bueller was in? Yeah. And just a snippet, 10 million views. 10 million views, straight up. From the guy who was Cameron in Ferris Bueller was in. Yeah. And just a snippet, 10 million views. 10 million views, straight up. From the guy who's Cameron in Ferris Bueller. He'll be able to just watch it 10 million times. This is from Emmett Cullen Hale.

So you gave Disney your money. What about the boycott? It was a boycott? First I've heard of it. Make a video about it, guy. Yeah. What are you doing? Do we ever agree to a boycott?

We said it in passing. It was a joke. Was it Spider-Man related? I don't know. I think it was Star Wars related. Oh. Maybe it's a Last Jedi based boycott. Could be.

Everything springs from The Last Jedi. It certainly does. All knowledge. That's right. It's about four or five. Rian Johnson also directed Looper. Is that true? And the Brothers Bloom. Oh my God.

Knives out. Oh my God. We mentioned The Last Jedi, so I figured I'd have to say all the things. Do you know his student films? No, but you should say them. We'll put them in a separate video. Okay, right. We did them though.

Yes. Kenji says, Rise of Skywalker is amazing. I don't know what you're talking about. Endgame wasn't satisfying. You honestly don't know shit about Star Wars, do you, clown? I guess I don't. This is from Batman Beyond Return of the Joker. I remember the video we did for Caravan of Garbage.

Oh, yes, yes. This one's from J.T. Parker. It says, the fuck? Shut your ugly fat mouth. This movie was fantastic, and it added so much to Batman mythos in general, and it made an already amazing show, brackets Batman Beyond, even better. Wait, what show is this based on? No, Batman Beyond.

Yes. So silence, you ugly fat piece of garbage. Didn't we like it? Yes. Also, I don't think you're that fat. That fat? I'll take it. We liked it.

I feel confident we liked that. We did, a lot. Yeah. Right. But we didn't like it enough. No, I think that's just the title. To be fair, which is my fault. I do call them Caravan of Garbage.

Oh, I see. Right, right, right. Okay. This which is my fault. I do call them Caravan of Garbage. Oh, I see. Right, right, right, right. Okay. This is from the Death of Green Screen video that I put up last week, which a lot of people seem to like. Jesus fucking Christ, I hate your voice as a shooer for sponsors. As you shooer for sponsors to earn a living. I prefer if you lived in a fucking cave.

There's a fake sponsor in that for rocks. I don't know if you've seen it. Have you seen it? Yeah, I have seen it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's, I endorse rocks. Yeah. And there's no link to rocks. Wow. And there's no link to rocks.

And it's the guy eating rocks. It's not a real sponsor. Wow. That's good work. Thanks. Of all the videos he could have. I know. There's so many.

Right? There's like two or three sponsors a month. We've sold out for everything. We'll do it. Oh, rocks. Cripple Ninja says, you're stupid enough to ignore eminent danger like a poisonous spider. Remember that video when there was a spider crawling across the roof and we're like, yeah, we'll get it later.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Movies are really entertaining. He's not wrong. Yeah. Distraction, hypothesis, satanic blood orgies. Welcome to Hollywood. Yep. What's, what's?

I feel like. This is Alex Jones. That's who this is. I feel some this is Alex Jones. That's what, that's who this is. I feel some of these comments we could devote an entire episode to. And I think that one is, I feel like that guy's like, maybe he's,

I don't know. What was he? Did we catch him mid thought? I don't know. I think, you know what? It's a guy who got bitten by a spider while he was watching a movie, I think. That's his whole deal. Don't take it seriously.

And now he goes from video to video. He's on Reddit, he's on the dark web, and he's tracking down movies. He's tracking down videos on YouTube that have people ignoring spiders so that he can comment that you shouldn't ignore spiders. And the satanic blood orgies. Yes, that's true. Also, those are a thing.

What's a blood orgy look like? It sounds horrible. Blade orgy look like it sounds horrible blade yeah blade of course it is um rob zombie is playing yes this is the last one uh it's from saucy spaghetti you have you have no i'm liking it so far mama mia bellissimo you have no idea how good attack of the clones is well that is true uh you clearly don't look deep into the meaning of the dialogue. That is notoriously as the worst dialogue in a Star Wars film. It's known for it.

This is what we call dialogue horseshoe theory. The dialogue gets so bad that you leap the horseshoe and all of a sudden it's the best dialogue. If you think about it. I did and he's right. Saucy spaghetti is out yet again. Anyway, that's been Hate Mail but the hate hasn't aided it. I did. And he's right. Saucy spaghetti is out yet again. Anyway, that's been hate mail, but the hate hasn't. I didn't know.

Well done, everyone. Everyone who leaves a comment. I like them. I love them. It's good, isn't it? I marry every single one of them. It's true. But obviously I can't because we're quarantined.

And you can't have a blood orgy during a quarantine. That's true. I'm doing the thing. What are we reading today? What are we reading today? Mason's actually gone to the toilet, so we can wait in silence, but I'm going to stop the recording and then I'm going to, I will sit here in silence, but you don't have to sit with me.

I'll be, there'll be no time. No time will have passed for you. Goodbye. But I'll be right back. It won't matter to you. Mason, what are you reading? I'm going to go back and read Bloodshot. Which ones? It's a really good question.

I don't know. Oh, maybe. You know what? I think I might. I don't think I'll have time in my life to read all the Bloodshot, but I guess I'll go back and read some original bloodshot maybe like the first story arc of original recipe bloodshot yeah and then maybe read most recent bloodshot because i was on levin's podcast uh serious issues yes some time ago maybe like last

year and we and i read a a bloodshot i think it was bloodshot usa that's the first oh the first one ever no no the first the first one of like the last the last run was bloodshot usa that's the first oh the first one ever no no the first the first one of like the last the last run i don't know that's not the one where he's got the beard that i was talking about no i think it's i think it's it's bloodshot versus a whole bunch of other bloodshots uh and i didn't like it if i recall all right i'm being like this is cliched and bad but i mean there's maybe it's a false memory or whatever oh my god it's really good yeah but uh so there's got to be some good because you know there's... Maybe it's a false memory or whatever. Oh, my God. It's really good. Yeah.

But, so there's got to be some good... Because, you know, there's a lot of Valiant stuff that I really do enjoy. Yeah. I just never really got into Bloodshot. And I think it's probably because he looks like a clichéd... Yes. ...superhero generic guy. Yeah. But then all of them do, so I don't know what...

What do you want, Mason? Exactly, right? How is he any worse than Ninjak? I don't have answers. There's no way to know. I don't know anything about Ninjak. So I think maybe I'll do a Valiant. Is he a ninja cyborg?

He's a British ninja. That's cool too. Ninjak is short for Ninja K. Oh. You know? It's not that much shorter. It's the same. Right?

It's the same really. It's no Bloodshot is it? No it's not. It's absolutely no Bloodshot. But I think I'll probably do. Actually if anybody is listening to this. Yes. And would like to email in maybe some

Valiant recommendations from any era of Valiant, whether it be old school Valiant or whatever, whatever modern Valiant is. If you're listening on your emergency CB radio. Yeah. And you're like, well, I've got a couple of choices. I can either use my remaining battery power to call for some help and some supplies, or I can send an email.

I can charge my phone and send an email to Maiso about what Valiant comics he should read. I agree. Do that second one, I reckon. Totally agree. Yes, I'm going to start on Bloodshot and see what I can get into. I agree. What about you, James?

I'm reading The Argus. Oh, no. Go ahead. I'll wait until you're finished. No, never mind. I'll wait until you're finished. I'm fine. What's The Argus?

It's published by Action Labs Danger Zone Comics. Excuse me? That's very appealing. It's by Mark Bertolini and Daryl Knickham. Yeah, yeah, go on. Sorry for getting that wrong because I did. It's basically about a man who invents time travel, but as soon as he invents time travel, a bunch of people who are him from different points in time

come back as like a task force and be like, you've got to join our time travel task force. Oh, that's fun. Because one of us from this time stream has gone real bad and is killing us all. One of them is like the grizzled kind of cable kind of escalator. Yeah, right. And there's like a tech guy and a whatever guy.

Oh, there's a tech guy in the van. Yeah. Does he ever have to get out of the van? I don't remember. Or by the enemy time machine. Yeah, but it's only- So it's called Argus. Yeah, it's kind of like Infinite Vacation.

I was just thinking that, actually, yeah. For the one issue I've read. But no, I like it. Yeah, I mean, a few... It's like a Rick and Morty kind of... Yeah, there's a lot of time travel stories and movies and such out there. But very few of them really factor in that as soon as somebody invents time travel, it's going to ruin everything.

Yeah. Forever. Everywhere. Ruin everything. Okay, that sounds like fun. Also, there's a new season of Castlevania out. Did we mention that recently? I think we said that it was coming out, but now it is out.

Well, I haven't watched any yet. I'm way behind on Castlevania. I watched the first two or three episodes they did. What did you think? I liked it. I really liked it, so I've got to go back. But again, it's one of those things where it's like, boy, if only I had time indoors by myself where I'm not allowed to socialise,

I'd watch so many things. Well, now I'm going to. That's great. There's a new Mark Wahlberg movie out on Netflix. Spencer Confidential. Yeah, Spencer Confidential. It's not great. Okay, right.

That's what I heard. I watched his breakdown, his roles of full time or whatever. Who's Spencer? Is this Spencer for hire? I don't know. Which is a TV series from back in the day. From what I read where he breaks down all his characters and roles over all time,

he mentions that the character is from a series that has 48 books in it. Okay, I'm going to look this up then. Please do. Okay, I've looked up Spencer Confidential. The second picture is the second picture is a photo of post malone it's post malone in this movie okay all right yes yes okay then all right he's very loosely based in the novel wonderland by ace atkins okay so i don't think it's spencer for hire whatever spencer for hire is i'm gonna look up spencer for hire i'm ready

and we'll all know it's like hire a hobby except you hire a Spencer. Spencer, a Boston private eye, tackles a different case each week with the occasional assist from his buddy, Hawk. He was a man and not a hawk, but Hawk is looking pretty cool. Look at this dude. That guy doesn't look enough like a hawk. That's my problem. Oh, Loki and WandaVision have also been postponed. I mean, put on hold because they're making him.

Spencer for hire is an American crime drama series based on Robert B. Parker's Spencer novels. Okay. Yeah, and uses the names of characters created by Robert B. Parker. They are related. There you go. There you go, okay. You know things.

I've finally made that connection. I think I half made that connection a number of times. I'm sure there were people listening who were yelling at me. Yes, you said Robert B. Parker. You said it. Well, now you've whole made the connection, haven't you? So that's really cool. Maybe I should watch this.

Maybe I should watch this. Yeah, maybe you should. I mean, it's free and it's on there if you've got Netflix or whatever. And I've got time on my hands, so why wouldn't I? You've got too much time on your hands, am I right? Directed by Peter Berg. Yes. He directed The Rundown.

Yep. And he also directed... The Kingdom? Yeah. Hancock. Yeah, that one. Battleship. Yeah, Battleship.

I was going to say Battleship, yeah. Lone Survivor. Something we didn't get to, but I've only just seen it now because it's in my browser. This is from ladbible.com. I was going to mention it earlier. They always message me whenever an animation gets done. I'm like, can we have this? And I'm like, no, you can't have it.

This thing that was created took a lot of work. Can we just have it? Yeah, because they used to just take stuff. And now they ask. Right. Well, they've asked Michael Caine. He says, Batman was one of the greatest things he's ever done. Mr. Bruce.

In my life. The veteran actor, who turns 87 tomorrow, Saturday recounted how he got involved with the Kristen Nolan trilogy in an interview with Indian newspaper The Hindu. Nolan came to the front door of his house in the country with a script. Could see him through the glass, but I couldn't recognise him. The moment he introduced himself, I knew exactly who he was

because I was a great fan of his three small films. I told him, I'm too old for Batman. What do you want me to play, the butler? What would my dialogues be? Would you like another beverage or more custard? Quote from him. And that's a direct audio from the interview. That's really funny.

Anyway. Batman doesn't eat custard. So I did the movie and it was one of the greatest things I've done in my life. He's done a few Nolans because he also did... Yeah. He did Dunkirk. He was in a voiceover. Wasn't he also in My Dad's Lost in Space and look at all this corn dying?

Oh, maybe. Also, he's going to be in Tenet, which is coming out. Oh. Which is due to be released in July. Who knows? Who does know? Hopefully things have cleared up. Anyway, good on Michael Caine.

Good on him. And good on us for playing. Wait, there's one more clip that says, from the end, it says, my name's Michael Caine. Oh, at the end? Yeah, it's just at the end. Just so everyone knows. Don't put that phone away yet, Mason. Oh, no, you're absolutely right.

The letters, though. My goodness, let's do some letters. The classic one was Letters, oh letters We love you, some letters They're only a day away I know they're here right now. We're going to do letters.

If you do want to reach the show, hashtag WeeklyPlanetPod on Twitter hashtag weeklyplanetpod on Twitter, weeklyplanetpod at gmail.com on Gmail. Cheers, buddy. Send us a tweet. Do whatever you want. Would you like me to go first or you to go first?

Go first, James. Go you go first. From Harry Ritter, hashtag weeklyplanetpod, with the rash of movies getting cancelled or postponed because of the coronavirus, would you like to see studios releasing these new films

on streaming platforms at a rental ticket cost since they can't theatrically? Blanket answer to that, yes. I would rather just be able to see them now, yes. But I don't think that's the reality for all of us. Do you think the Marvel Universe, the cinematic universe, will lose momentum if we don't see a Black Widow? I think the whole thing is losing, everything is losing momentum. Oh, no.

So I don't think it matters. I think everyone's going to have to ramp back up again anyway. Oh, okay, you don't mean superhero movies are losing momentum. No, I mean everything. Yeah, no, that's probably, that is true, yeah. Yeah, I think if anything, people would be more raring to go after this. Yeah, and it could be also, maybe it will affect the film industry in the long term as it may affect the workforce because they realise that a lot of people can do their jobs from home.

That's true, yeah. That people have been saying for like 20 fucking years now. Right, yes. A lot of work. There are obvious exceptions. I mean, YouTubers have to go into the YouTube offices. Got to go into the YouTube offices. Every day.

Exactly. We've got to swipe in. We've got to punch in, actually. It's an old school system. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. The girder, I do it every time. That's right, exactly.

I sit on the girder. There's a matronly woman on the desk. Yeah, I know how to do right. Yeah. The girder, I do that every time. That's right, exactly. I sit on the girder. There's a matronly woman on the desk. Yeah, I know how to do that. Exactly. They're with PewDiePie. Is he on YouTube? Yeah, totally on YouTube. Okay, right.

But me and him, just all day, every day. He's like, what do you think of this meme? And I'm like, nothing. Yeah. He's like, do you think I should say the N-word? And you're like, no. He's like, I'm going to say it anyway. I'm going to say it.

If anyone can get away with it. Okay, it's me, PewDiePie. The most famous YouTuber. Yeah. So what do you think, though? What would you rather do? Would you rather wait or? I think that's just a selfish thing for me to be like,

I just want to see them. No, I would be like, if they put Black Widow on streaming services today, I'd watch it today, 100%. I mean, you know. Yeah, of course. But I'm saying, is that what you think they should do, though?

Obviously, if it came out on streaming, you're not waiting for the movies. You're going to watch it. No i mean you know yeah of course it's it's what i'm saying is that what you think they should do though or obviously if it came out on streaming you're not waiting for the movies you're gonna watch no that's true uh look i i think we've given them all enough money at this point if they were gonna put they owe us honestly i think at this point if they were just and you know what it would i'll take a doctor strange sequel whatever i think it'd be a good if speaking of the new mutants i think if they want to dump something that is definitely not going to make money, then they can just be like, oh, we put the New Mutants out for free. Just put it on Disney+. We don't know how much money it would have made. Who knows?

Maybe it would have been a hit. It doesn't matter for them because they didn't make it anyway. Yeah, I think this would be a perfect opportunity. Maybe Black Widow you pay $20 or $10 or whatever, and then some are free at this point. I think that would be good. It would be a show of good faith. It would be like we're willing to, you know,

we'll see your movies when they come out after this, but in the meantime, give us some bloody free entertainment. I think it very much, yes. I think, yeah, I think it very much depends on. Because at this point you can also blame any, you could blame anything that would be a bomb on the coronavirus. On the customer. On the customer, yeah, exactly.

I think the next two weeks are going to be really telling depending on what direction this whole thing goes. So, you know, I think we'll be getting some... Some things will move to streaming. I don't know what that's going to look like, but if this keeps up, then it's almost guaranteed. Oh, God, imagine watching first runrun Black Widow in your house. You've got an ice, you've invested in your big TV.

You've got a big tub of choc-chip ice cream. I've got a thing of microwave popcorn I haven't popped yet. That you're shiv demand for. That's right, exactly. I've got the one remaining thing of microwave popcorn. Shouldn't have told everybody they're going to come to your house. Oh, no. Make your own popcorn. Shouldn't have told everybody they're going to come to your house. Oh, no. Make your own popcorn.

Get some corn kernels. I've got the buttered popcorn, James, in the thing. No, but you get the corn kernels. You buy it, like, in bulk. Yeah. And then you throw in, like, half a cup. James, how am I going to get bulk by anything right now? You're right.

Right? Sorry. You're absolutely right. But it stores forever. It's all gone. That's true. But you throw it in there with some oil. And then you mix through some butter and some salt.

It's a beautiful day. It is a beautiful day. And then I could watch Black Widow with my buttery hands. That's right, yeah. That's really good. But, yeah, and nobody else. There's no one else there. But also, like, some movies I'm like, oh, the public.

I don't want to go out and watch this movie with people. But I would like to see, like, a Black Widow with. Movies are better in the cinema. Yeah. If it's a good experience. That's true, yeah. Movies are better in the cinema. Yeah. If it's a good experience. That's true, yeah. Movies are better. They just are.

Like it's, you know, when you go with a bunch, when we go to a, you know, I'm not going to say media screening, but nobody says anything or does anything to the media screening. But if we go to one of those ones where it's like the fans won tickets or whatever, we all go to that one. That's always a good experience, I think. I agree. That is better than watching it at home.

Yeah. But I've got those buttery hands. Oh, my God, Mason. Right? Oh, my God. So what else we got here? Oh, you've got a letter? I've got a letter.

This is from Shantanu. He says, hey, guys. I'm Shantanu, all the way from India. I'm a big fan of the show. Thank you. What up? As you might know, cricket is huge in India as well as Australia, I suppose, he says. Have you heard about the documentary series that came out on Amazon Prime

recently covering the journey of Australian cricket team through the ball tampering saga? I've heard of it. I've not watched it, but I think I will. Yeah, there are billboards up actually for it right now. Yeah, the test. That's a fascinating. Okay, I'm...

Do you want to explain ball tampering to people? So I'm not really interested in cricket as a sport really, although I do like going places and sitting down and having a drink. So that's pretty good. Having a meat pie. So that's something I enjoy. But I'm fascinated by what happened to the Australian cricket team and also how they're going to spin it for a documentary.

So as I understand it, the ball tampering sucker is that you can scuff it up a bit. You can scuff up the cricket ball. When you're about to bowl the cricket ball, you can scuff it up to change its performance as you bowl it. It was explained to me once at the height of the scandal, but I've forgotten it. But apparently it's illegal to do it in the game. It's against the rules, and they check the ball before it's sent out there so so there's no so hold it

and yeah you cough everybody's exactly everybody's on the same page but the australian cricket team tampered with the ball on the field with like a million cameras around them yeah and then they blamed it on the new guys as for what i understand it like all the established guys was that the one where they also had dirt in their pockets and they were rubbing dirt yes that's exactly it yeah they did so you see him pulling dirt out yeah 100 that's the whole thing is like i am fascinated to because yeah again like as i understand it the veteran players were like hey new guy can you tamper with the ball please kind of thing and they were like and he's like oh, I guess this is what you do. And then they all got into a bunch of trouble and lost the.

Who would have thought? I know, right? Infrared cameras and shit. Yeah. Like, you can't say anything on the field because it all gets recorded. Yeah. Because of all mics. But I'm absolutely fascinated to watch this as long as it's short and not long.

I hope it's 10 episodes. Because is it a docudrama? I don't know. I'm going to look it up. Because if it's a docudrama, I would be fascinated to see if they've spun it so they're still Australia's heroes. They aren't a bunch of people who cheated. I just like seeing the boys getting out there,

getting a win for the country. You know what I mean? Yeah, for sure, our boys. You know what I love? When somebody throws a ball and somebody has a bat on the other end and they hit it, but they do that more times than the other team. That really matters to me. Yeah, yeah.

What I'm saying is all things are dumb, including sport. Sure. I'm not saying movies aren't dumb, Mason. Everything's dub. Everything is dub. Everything everybody likes is dub and beta. It's a docu-series following the Australian men's cricket team offering a behind-the-scenes look at how one of the world's best cricket teams fell from grace and was forced to reclaim

dot, dot, dot. It doesn't say. Reclaim their title and integrity. Episode one, a new beginning. Following the Australian men's cricket team offering a behind-the-scenes look at how one of the world's best cricket teams fell from grace and was forced to reclaim... Doesn't say. Reclaim their title and integrity. Episode one, a new beginning. It's day one for new coach Justin Langer. Time to reinvigorate and rebuild the Australian national, I assume, cricket team. It's cut off.

Anthem. He's rewriting it. Cricket team. Come on, boys. What are your suggestions? Trust in the plan. There's a renewed focus on character over cover drives as Justin Langer and the team head to the UAE to face the Mercurial Pakistan.

Oh, my God. Sporting commentators love to call people Mercurial. I think I say Mercurial. Episode three, a test of character. Australia is put to the test by cricket powerhouse India and India's fiercely competitive captain, Virat Kohli. None of this is... Why don't they tamper with the balls?

When's the tampering bit? Yeah. It doesn't seem to mention the tampering at all. Then I'm not watching it. Yeah. Maybe it's not. Maybe they've completely got rid of it. Having served their 12-month bans for ball tampering bit. Yeah. It doesn't seem to mention the tampering at all. And I'm not watching it. Yeah. Maybe it's not. Maybe they've completely got rid of it.

Having served their 12-month bans for ball tampering, Steve Smith and David Warner rejoined the Australian squad ahead of a team galvanising trip to Gallipoli. Just the boys making it happen.

Just the boys saluting at Gallipoli. You know what I mean? I love it. Yeah. Anyway, awful. Yes. I'm not interested

unless there's like the real mechanics. I don't want it to be about oh my god, it's I'm not interested Unless there's like The real mechanics I don't want to be I don't want to be about Oh my god It's our boys And they're learning How to just be champions

They're all champions They lost their way But now they're champions again I want to hear about the cheating And why the cheating happened And why they thought It was a clever idea I want to

Take a camera interview With some dudes like What were you thinking? Yeah we just thought Maybe the cameras Wouldn't see it I mean the cameras See literally everything There's the thermal imaging As previously mentioned But I just we just thought maybe the cameras wouldn't see it. I mean, the cameras see literally everything.

There's the thermal imaging, as previously mentioned. But we just thought if we got the guy to get dirt in his pocket, take the dirt out of his pocket, put the dirt on the ball, that nobody noticed that he put the dirt on the ball. Like nobody there or the thousands of people in the stands would have noticed with binoculars and cameras. The umpires had a job there to make sure there's no cheating. We just thought they wouldn't notice. We get paid a lot of money. oculars and cameras. Did the umpires have a job there to make sure there's no cheating?

We just thought they wouldn't notice. We get paid a lot of money. We probably get paid a half a million dollars for this. But we thought we didn't because we could have hit the ball. We thought just people wouldn't notice. Well, some of us are. There's different skills, obviously. Yeah, right. Some throw the ball, some catch the ball.

Catch the ball, ball catcher guys. We just didn't think anyone would catch the ball catch the ball ball catcher guys we just didn't think anybody would catch the ball being tampered with apparently we're role models apparently apparently we're role models

anyway anyway I'm really excited for whatever that is okay this is from Sean Horrigan says hashtag weekly planet pod topic suggestion

best worst non zombie pandemic movies. So we talked about this. Yeah. And I don't want to watch 10 pandemic movies next week. Absolutely not, no. And then come back and talk about it.

Where everything's always the worst. When it's in the clear, I could come back to this. But I don't want to watch Contagion again or whatever. But it's children of man, I feel. Oh, yeah, it is. I mean, that movie's great. I haven't watched it in a while, but, I mean, that movie kind of feels like now in the sense that the world is ending.

The world's not ending, just FYI. Just everybody calm down. Yeah. Everyone relax. As you said, that somebody picked up a chair to throw through a shop window and then, oh, wait. Oh, but what a soundtrack that we could play on a podcast. But, you know, it's a world in which there's a bit of strife.

Everyone's in a bit of strife, but everybody still has to go to work and go to cafes and live their life as if there isn't trouble. But, again, this isn't – what is happening now isn't that bad. No. If we all just wash your hands, wash your hands and keep away from old people, you should be fine. Exactly.

Which is my bloody day today, am I right? Avoiding the bloody in-laws. Oh, the bloody in-laws, that's right. Thank you. That's right. It's everybody loves Raymond over in your house. Oh, you know it is, mate. They're always sticking their hands through your mail slot. I don't have a mail slot.

No. My dad cut one into my door with an axe yeah you just shining style just cut the bottom off of the door off with an axe what uh what else you got i just from zackadillard uh reverse flash is the subject line here for the past year ish i've been listening to the podcast in reverse order starting with episode 285 and ending as of today with episode one it was a pleasure witnessing the decreasing sound quality progression from disappointment to optimism regarding BBS and the sudden burst of reoccurring Shia LaBeouf news.

Uh, the many memorable hilarious moments. The one that stuck with me most is James rant about local government. That was another podcast group. Okay. Can't get the great work. Well, thank you for listening years ago.

Uh, due to my listening method, like roughly 1.3 episodes a day in reverse. I was wondering if I could be the official reverse Flash of the podcast. Absolutely. Absolutely can. Just want to point out the point of the reverse Flash isn't that he runs backwards.

It's that his suit is yellow. And that's exclusively the only difference. Well, we don't know what he's wearing. That's a good point. Maybe he's wearing some yellow Jimmy Jams. Yeah. So you're very welcome. Charlotte Booth, he's back, baby.

Yeah. In some ways he was on Hot Ones quite recently he was he's got a movie out called Honey Boy which is apparently very good

which is about him and his dad no I do want to watch that and another thing is there a second Shia LaBeouf movie out doesn't matter actual cannibal

Shia LaBeouf I like that this is from Kyle says hashtag weekly planet pod Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a fantastic 90s comic book movie I might even say the best one Remember last week we mentioned like

Is there a good one in the 90s We've had some people like The Crow and whatever I'm like sure yeah okay Blade I guess I agree Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is probably the best one In my opinion It is certainly very accurate to the comic book And that's all that matters. Yes.

Name another thing that matters. Nothing. You can't. I can't. The world's ending. Let's grab that chair. Throw it through a window. It could be yours.

It could be someone else's. Is that a new sign off? Grab that chair, throw it through a window. Okay. Until the pandemic is over. Remember guys. You got anything else?

Or is that it? This is from Guy Smith. Just wondering if you've checked out the show Hunters on Amazon Prime. That's another thing we've got. Yes, I have. What do you think? It's all right. Okay.

Yeah, I've heard that it's all right. Yeah. He says, just watching it through currently and it is bloody insane. James, would you say it's bloody insane? I've talked about it more on Suggestible, my other less successful podcast. But basically, it's not historically accurate enough to be interesting in that aspect. But it's also not Inglourious Basterds crazy enough to be off the wall. Yeah, right.

It's somewhere in the middle and it doesn't quite come together. Okay, right. Also, apparently I read somewhere that the timeline doesn't quite work out. No, none of it does. Okay, right. And a lot of the events didn't happen. Like Pacino should be, like it should be set in the 90s, I think if the ages are to be.

Ooh-ah. Exactly, ooh-ah. Ooh-ah. The Matrix. He's getting ready to see The Matrix is lighting up. That's right. Ooh-ah. Have you seen The Matrix?

That's him after he's seen The Matrix. He's wearing a long leather trench coat Little glasses Maybe it's a Matrix within a Matrix He says Look I can't I've done my one impression for the week I can't do Pacino It doesn't work

I can only do one a week And I'll never be able to do Michael Caine again If indeed I could have ever done it before You've got a Michael Caine. I can only do one a week, and I'll never be able to do Michael Caine again. That's right. If indeed I could have ever done it before. You've got a Michael Caine tank. It's like an os. That's right, exactly. You flip up the cover and you push the red button,

and then you can be Michael Caine for a moment. That's how he does it. It's a big tank, though. Big tank and os. Very big tank. That's the show. I think it is. Thank you, everybody, for listening, even in these trying times.

We're all going to get through it together we've got much content to get through keep your bloody eye out for your neighbours and your loved ones and check in on people

make sure they're alright exactly but after you've done that obviously after you've taken care of the wellbeing of your friends and loved ones
