I know, can't wait to get to that break. It already feels like forever, isn't it? Look, let me tell you, we've already recorded the ad, and it's a good ad.

It's absolutely bad. We had fun in it. Skip to it if you want to. There's time codes. Is anybody going to use it? We don't know, but we had fun with it. That's all that matters. But also, please, please use the ad.

Please do. Red hot comic book movie news. Shooting up your butthole. Please, please use the ad. Please do. 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, at a distance, is my co-host, Nick Mason. Oh, we are back. Certainly are, Mason.

Feels good. Feels good. How was your break? You had a bit of a break this week a little bit of a break yeah you're off work well that's the thing so i'm at my work you have to book your leave like a year in advance like more than a year in advance well they beat you up exactly or they beat you up they're very unforgiving so i feared that but fortunately i've kind of booked right now, so I don't have to, for the most part, I don't have to worry about going outside and dealing with the public, which is what I do, and being infected by the public. It's almost as if you knew. We can edit this out, right?

Or Comedy Festival. Oh, yeah, that was also going to happen. It's almost as if Comedy Festival knew. I don't know why, but it doesn't matter. This goes right to the top. Whoever runs Comedy Festival? Barry Humphries. That's a local reference. I knew it. People know Dame Edna runs Comedy Festival? Barry Humphries.

That's a local reference. I knew it. People know Dame Edna overseas, right? I don't know. Probably in England, I'd imagine. Okay, if you can imagine. I used to get Dame Edna and the Queen confused when I was a really little kid. There's not that much difference between them, if I'm honest. That's very true.

If you don't know Dame Edna, imagine a man, like an old man. But stop, wait. Do you think you've heard it all? I mean, that's pretty funny in itself. Yeah. But dressed as a lady. D dressed as a lady as a lady this is a lady but he's been doing it for like anyway the podcast that's right normally we do an hour plus of content here but i've just described the funniest situation that's right so you just just just laugh from hell doesn't get better does it doesn't get better uh but just quickly thank you to those people who watch the star wars jewel of the fates animation that Ethan Taylor put together.

Oh, that's rare. It looks very cool. It's incredible. It got picked up by a lot of really big sites. Some of them were just like, somebody made this thing. That's what I noticed mostly. It's like some guy made this. Some dumb fan.

Some big fucking Star Wars nerd. I mean, you could Google his name and find out the other stuff that he's done. But we've decided not to put his name in here because we want to drive you to our website yeah it looks it looks like it's amazing it looks like a stop like stop like wooden stop motion i know it's that have been knowing that this was coming and just being like i just you know i didn't want to like oversell it be like this looks incredible in case people are like he's not gone mad yeah right i was pretty sure that it looked incredible uh yeah it was really nice to get that reaction from people. And well done to Ethan in particular who banged that out in like a record time.

I have no idea how he did it. Five years it took him. It took him five years. Still a record time though, wasn't it? That's why they had to abandon that script because he stole it. It's his fault that episode nine was what it ended up being. So some guy stole that script. Some guy.

Some asshole. Don't look into it. No, I don't. Yeah, there you go. Anyway, I'm really happy with that. Yeah, thank you to Ethan and thank you to the people who supported that as well because also maybe it'll make its money back,

which would be super great because animation often does not. But this one seems, you never know. You never bloody know. That's true. But regardless, I'm really glad. They can't all be the Spider-Verse, can they? They certainly can't.

Sometimes you just throw it out there. I should have made the Spider-Verse movie. Sometimes they're just the Emoji Movie. Didn't that make money? I think it did, yeah. Okay, right. I think it's on Netflix at the moment. They can't all be the Spider-Verse and the Emoji Movie.

Two movies that I'm putting together and lumping together in one group. Let me just quickly check that. Okay. Yeah, it made, on 86 million, it made 217 million. So not a lot, but it did make some, maybe. Well, let me just say about that. Smiley face, but I've sort of put my hand underneath, like in the cro did make some maybe. Well, let me just say about that, smiley face, but I've sort of put my hand underneath like in the crook of my beard,

like hmm, you know? Yeah, absolutely. We've got some new Disney release dates. You ready for this? Hot stuff. Yes. So I don't know if you've heard this, but everything has been pushed back forever.

Everything seems to have been pushed back like one movie. Yes, exactly. So like Black Widow took the eternal spot, I think. Exactly. We're not just talking Marvel, though. Mulan, July 24th of this year. Okay. It's not so far away.

That's right, not so far away. The French Dispatch, October 16th. Oh, where's Anderson? Is it? Oh, cool, okay. I didn't know Disney had that. Well, it's probably a Fox thing. Okay, it'll be Searchlight.

Yeah, okay. Marvel's Black Widow, November 6th, which you mentioned is Eternals. Free Guide, December 11th. Okay. We're looking forward to that one. The Eternals, February, which took the spot of Shang-Chi, which is May 7th. This is next year now. Bob's Burgers, April 9th.

I've got to watch Bob's Burgers. You've seen it? Is this a Bob's Burgers movie? Yeah. Oh. Have you seen it? Yeah, I have. Not all of it, but select episodes.

It's very funny. Yeah, I've got to watch it. Spider-Man 3 has not changed dates because that's a Sony joint. That's July 16th of 2021. Jungle Cruise got pushed back a full year to July 30th of next year. I saw a clickbait title that was like, The Rock talks about why Jungle Cruise was delayed. The same reason everything's delayed.

Also, I'm not clicking that. That's the one I refuse to click. Because I don't want to read 12 paragraphs and it's like coronavirus. Jungle Cruise is based on a ride. I don't know if you know. It's a popular Disney ride. It's one of the biggest sets in Disney history. The Rock you might know from wrestling.

But anyway, to answer your question, the boat got marooned. It's on a sandbank. That's why. That's the only reason. That's the only reason. Well, all right. Yeah, that's it. Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, November 5th, 2021.

Thor Love and Thunder, February 18th, 2022. Indiana Jones was also pushed back a full year, yet again putting into jeopardy Harrison Ford Living. Just make that movie. He'll be fine. He'll be fine. He'll be fine. I know he will. I'm just saying

he could crash a plane. Well, that's true. No, coronavirus won't get him. Health-wise, yeah, he'll be absolutely fine. Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson have fully recovered.

You heard all that crazy shit about them being part of the Hollywood Illuminati and all that kind of stuff? No, but let's get into it. Yeah, yeah. So if you go to... Let's paint a target on our backs.

There's a lot of like... But he's part of this Hollywood elite Illuminati that's... No. I mean, get into it. Yeah, yeah. So if you go to- Let's paint a target on our backs. There's a lot of like- But he's part of this Hollywood elite Illuminati that's- No. I mean, hey, you never know, but no. I feel like, you know, there are plenty of people out there where we go, oh, that person seems nice. And then it turns out they run a sex trafficking ring or something like that.

Woman from Smallville. Woman from Smallville, yeah. I don't know what that is, but don't at me. No, that's pretty much what it is. I feel like Hanks is kind of bulletproof. Like you would think. I mean, not to say I agree with you. Yes.

But then you get like your Bill Cosby's. You get this like, wait, what? That is true, yeah. I don't think that's true. But, you know, you never really know a person. No. Yeah. Again, I sound like I'm agreeing with this and I'm not.

I'm very much not. Yeah. Then Captain Marvel 2 got a release date of July 8th, 2022. There you go. We finally got some numbers on that, and that seems to be the phase four. Sounds to me like Captain Marvel got bumped because Marvel are not happy with it. Brie Larson, obviously. She's a real troublemaker.

They fired everybody on that. Fired everybody. Kathleen Kennedy, I'm'm sure has something to do with that can you believe it well yeah of course I can believe it the true fans

that's right yeah exactly the true fans I think it's a case of obviously all the other ones have been moved due to quarantine

but I think we all know that Captain Marvel this is the actual reason that billion dollar movie yeah I'm not saying that didn't get helped

by being between Avengers movies because obviously it did still made a billion dollars still made a billion dollars yeah just to be clear I was joking movie yeah yeah i'm not saying that didn't get help by being between avengers movies because obviously it did still made a billion dollars yeah yeah just to be clear i was joking were you yeah i was dead serious oh my god yeah which bit the tom hanks illuminati bit whatever man doesn't matter look at some point we are gonna run out of content we are gonna have to pivot to bizarre conspiracy theories all ads we'll just do all ads it's my favorite part of the show yeah uh also artemis foul it's about that genius evil guy yeah that's coming out now on streaming on may 29th so that i didn't think

was ever gonna do super well uh maybe people seem i don't mind the trailer but people upset because apparently the first book he's an actual supervillain and then he turns good. I thought you were going to say an actual chicken. He's a chicken. He's a big chicken. Why would you think I was going to say chicken? His name's Artemis Fowl. Oh, yeah.

W. Yeah, good point. I'm sorry, you were saying. I completely tuned out. What were you talking about? He's supposed to be a real villain in the first book and then he pivots in the sequel books. And they're just kind of doing like, well, he's a supervillain and then he turns good in the one movie so i think if you want to make yeah that's probably they probably should have done that right they want the redemption arc in the first movie they don't

want to spread it out over okay right i mean because you know it makes sense because they're probably not making another one of these oh i see right i'd imagine right i'd imagine but it's also interesting that books get a pass like i can't recall any parents being absolutely in uproar because Artemis Fowl is a villain in his first book and then he turns around. But it's interesting that the movies demand... Are you talking about comics? What do you mean?

No, I'm talking about the Artemis Fowl books. I've never heard a parent... I don't think it's... No, it's outrage that they're not doing what the book is doing, I should point out. No, that's what I mean. I'm saying parents were never outraged when the book came out. There were no parents who were like, this character's a villain, you know,

in this first book, I don't care for it, you know. But I don't think he's out there. It's ruining my kids, yeah. He's not killing people. No, that's true. He's probably just out there, like, building a weather machine or something. Yeah, he would be building a weather machine. He's Superman 3-ing it.

Yeah. Yeah. It's a good movie, I think. It's not. It's real bad. Yeah. The other thing is, there was- You's a good movie, I think. It's not. It's real bad. Yeah. The other thing is- You've gone isolation crazy.

Mate, you are not wrong. There is no date for the new mutants. I don't know. We were so close. I'm going to say this every week. It was last week. It was supposed to happen on Thursday and Friday. So it was Cyborg.

Yeah. Where was your post? They were the team. Where was your post, Mason? I did one about coronavirus. I didn't want to double up. I didn't want to beat that dead horse that I've already beaten. But they were the two.

They were the competing movies that were going to be. It was going to be Cyborg versus the New Mutants. I mean, one of them should have moved. They both did. That's right. You get out of time clapping. An out of time golf clap. Yeah.

So what is my question? What are they doing with it? I don't know. This is it. This was their chance to be like, everybody's stuck inside. Here's the new mutants. Let's get some new subscribers. We should talk about April Fool's as well while we're here because did you see any the one post that i remember i'm

sure there was other stuff that i think google didn't do it they weren't like your browser's upside down introducing google leaf it's a leaf whatever because people would immediately see google and go is that a symptom is my vision going upside down a symptom oh god there's no time for the answer i'm gonna leap out this window that's right but so they uh so there was a website a twitter account which was it was a fake hbo one which was a poster for the snyder cut it was like the snyder cut's coming oh i see right and i mean you look at that immediately and you're like yeah that's obviously fake but i'm like oh there's no harm in that whatever because yeah but i think there were some also some people did some like coronavirus stuff there was i think there was like a k-pop

star which said he had coronavirus and then passed it off as like this might not be true by the way that's just what i heard the past it off don't upset the k-pop fans i know jeez look like any severe group of fans you need to just fucking lighten up about whatever your thing is all right whatever your thing is you don't. Don't take it so seriously. Whatever your thing is, you don't have to take it that seriously. I mean, that being said,

we take weird things very seriously. That's true. Yeah. And then he, I tried to play it off like, Oh no, actually this is just raising awareness of coronavirus and this, you know,

and make sure you get checked. Cause he's in his post. He was like, I went out and I shouldn't gone out and now I've learnt my lesson and it's. Oh, I see. Right, right. Okay. So I guess, all right.

So I kind of get that. But also I wouldn't put it past some fans of anyone, any particular group to go, my idol got coronavirus. I should get coronavirus. Yeah, that's right. I'll come out of it stronger like he's come out of it stronger. Yeah, that's right. With a hit single. You know like he's come out of it stronger. Yeah, that's right. With a hit single.

You know who I feel most bad for? Me? Mr. Peanut. What happened to him? Do you remember? I mean, he died, didn't he? Yeah, well, he died. He died and then Kobe Bryant died.

Yeah. And then this. So out of those two, which one do you feel sorry for? Just to clarify. Well, I mean, I feel bad for. The Peanut. I got it. Yeah, yeah. Well, I clarify i feel bad for the peanut i got it yeah yeah well i don't feel bad for mr peanut himself because he's not real and honestly not anymore in retrospect i don't feel bad for the planters peanut company either because realistically

yeah someone famous is going to die during your mr peanut died yes ad campaign right totally maybe it wouldn't be one of the most famous basketball players of all time, but it'd be someone. Yeah. It'd be like. Could be another mascot. Could be Ronald McDonald. You think Ronald McDonald would die and just absorb all the goodwill?

That's right. Wow. Wow. Do you think McDonald would be so bold as to kill Ronald McDonald and then introduce baby Ronald McDonald? Yeah, little Ronnie McDonald. Little Ronnie McDonald. Yeah.

Oh, my God, yes. And then you'd be like, sorry, no peanuts allowed at the funeral. Of course. Because, you know, some people are allergic. Yeah. But that whole Mr. Peanut campaign was like a false Twitter campaign of like paid bots and people to promote this. And most people are like,

we fucking hate this. We don't, we don't want to engage with it at all. What's with peanuts? You can get them anywhere. It doesn't matter. Why are these guys the best at peanuts? Here's where you get peanuts.

You happen to be able to baseball game. Um, you think about how you're not allowed to eat them on an airplane anymore. And you go and buy some, you're at a bar. They're not allowed to eat them on an airplane anymore and you go and buy some. You're at a bar. They're not serving food. There's just peanuts. You don't really want chips, but you don't really want peanuts.

Cashews are not available because I would eat cashews otherwise. I would also eat cashews, yeah. I don't like mixed nuts either. They're sneaking in some ones that are like, this is no one's favourite and you are having a laugh. Absolutely. Do you think Baby mr peanut was based on baby groot i think it was yoda oh yeah of course yeah yeah but probably baby yoda was based on

baby groot and who was himself was based on the muppet babies yes who were based on real babies real babies and real babies based on regular sized people exactly. Anyway, in other news of things being pushed back, Iron Man VR, which was a PlayStation exclusive. Didn't know that was happening. If I had a VR headset, I probably would have got it, but I do not. When they're $4 and nobody has them anymore, I'll get one. When you can get them in a packet of Planters peanuts.

Yes. You just crack it open and you've got a VR headset in there. Yum, yum. Probably still not. Probably not even. Probably. Cashews though. Mr. Cashews yum. Probably still not. Probably not even. Cashews, though. Mr. Cashews.

Mr. Cashew. Hope he's all right. And the other one is The Last of Us Part II was pushed back, also indefinitely. So that was coming out in May, and I was really looking forward to it. But apparently it's nearly done, but the rollout for it, because they can't do physical copies the same as digital copies. Can't do a big Las Vegas opening of some kind. I get it.

I understand. But it's just, it sucks a bit. Not as much as Top Gun being pushed back. Oh, we're still thinking about Iron Man VR. Have we seen anything from that? Yeah, it looks good. It looks good. You're Iron Man.

You wait, put your arms in front of your face, the gold. Different suits. Different suits, probably. I don't know. I don't know. The Igor suit, the big one. I don't think you get that one. You look at your big tum. of your face, the gold. Different suits. Different suits, probably. I don't know. I don't know. The Igor suit, the big one. I don't think you get that one. Look down, look at your big tum.

Yeah. Like, ooh. Good stuff. Heads up display. Yeah, there's a heads up display. It's all those things. It's Iron Man VR. I love it, but I still don't want to pay for a VR headset.

I need to wait till it's like completely wireless. Yep. And it's mostly flawless. Yeah, flawless yeah which i don't think it's quite there like the tech of it is still not apparently that new half-life is quite good this is like as good as it's ever been the physics is so good i saw someone could like juggle in the game oh wow juggle actual object that actually don't you have like gravity gun gloves in that i don't know probably but you can but it's keeping like three or four things in the air that is amazing it's pretty incredible yeah with i mean with physics and such physics and such yeah uh

so top gun was pushed back okay uh candy man was pushed back rise of grue was pushed back morbius was pushed back ghostbusters was pushed back morbius is pushed back it's all over what are we even gonna do uh an uncharted shutdown on the first day of filming. Oh, poor, poor who? I don't know. Tom Holland? They're all rich. It's fine. Of course they're all rich.

Poor people on the crew, I guess. Yeah, exactly. Poor the crew. Yeah, people probably not being paid for this. Poor the one guy in Hollywood who does the CGI mustaches. Exactly. Poor Mark Wahlberg. What's he doing?

Bicep curls, probably. Probably bicep curls, yeah. That's what he's up to. He's probably done one of those videos where it's like, What's he doing? Bicep curls, probably. Probably bicep curls, yeah. That's what he's up to. He's probably done one of those videos where it's like, everything I do in a day and it's 900 things. It's like every moment a normal person would be sitting down, he's doing a bicep curl. That's right, yeah.

And now he's looked at it and he's like, not good enough. I've got to double all the stuff I do in a day. What if I do tricep curls? I'll do an extension. I'll make it one movement. You know what I'm talking about? No. Doesn't matter.

No. Maybe a tricep dip on one arm, bicep curl on the other. Now you've lost me. You're on the back of a chair and you're doing a dip. Is he doing burlesque? Is that what you're talking about? Yes. He's doing burlesque.

Let's move to a different thing. Do you agree? He's doing, I'm just thinking somebody on the back of a chair and like all that jazz is playing. Sure. Yeah. You know, that's what I'm thinking thinking somebody on the back of a chair and like all that jazz is playing. Sure, yeah. You know? That's what I'm thinking about. So comics didn't come out last week, if you noticed.

No comics. There was some, but DC and Marvel didn't. This must be a pretty, this would be a streak broken, I would think. Yes. So DC titles are going to be digitally released, that were going to be digitally released on April 1st have been pushed to April 29th, and Marvel is pausing one third of its titles for May and June. Which ones? We don't know.

Okay, right. So this is from Alanis on Twitter, hashtag weeklyplanetpod to us. Do you think the comic book industry will recover after this, or do you think digital will be the way forward? Also, with all the talk of trying to get a new Marvel DC crossover by fans, writers, artists, and inkers, could this be the help needed to jumpstart the industry?

What do you think? So it's either going to ruin the industry or jumpstart the industry. Yes. Like a real, it's like an end of the universe, new Big Bang situation. Yeah, I don't think he's saying ruined. Yeah, right. I think they're saying that it will shift almost entirely to digital. I would love to know the numbers on digital to print copy.

Because I don't live near a comic shop, so I do all digital. And then every... Oh, look what I found. All of my comics or some of my comics in a box. Oh, there you go. Yeah, I thought I'd given the most away and I'd only given half of them away. Incredible.

So I've got some. Yeah, that's a good question. I don't know either. Even with this, it's like saying, oh, the Kindle is going to kill books. Yeah. You know, sometimes you just want to hold a book. Totally.

You don't want to have to. I do like the idea of the guided view because it can kind of reveal the story in a different way. I kind of hate the guided view. Really? Yeah. I think if it's done well, you open like a big spread and you can keep the reveal of an event. Look, I like page by page until it gets to like a two-page splash and it's on your iPad or your tablet or whatever,

and then I have to like pinch to zoom every little bit. So you don't do the guided at all? No, I do full page, yeah. Because I like to go where like kind of the artist and the writer wants you to say. And if it's done well, I think it can flow really well. It's also one of those things where I think if they went to guided view, like everything had to be guided view,

I would be mad for a day and then I would forget. I don't care. Just feed me the content. I don't care anymore. It also feels longer. It feels like you're on more pages. It's true, yeah. You know what I mean?

It's like eating meal slowly. I would live in fear then. I'd be like, this comic's never going to end. Is Top Cat going to finally get that fish? No, probably. Wow. Does he ever get the fish i don't know he's got a fish skeleton that's all i'm saying it's true yeah yeah it's pretty good so i don't know uh i think yeah a marvel dc crossover event might be a good idea to get everybody back into reading but i think we talked about it last week as well i wonder how much marvel cares or like how much

is invested in the print media, the comic, the actual comic book point of this. Because at this point it's got to be such a tiny percentage of Marvel's, you know, income, revenue, but also are they separate businesses? I'm sure there is an answer to that, but I don't know what it is. Yeah, I'm sure they are. I'm sure there's like i'd imagine that digital you would probably get more money because you're not paying any printing fees that's true

yeah and you just get six bucks for whatever you're trying i also wonder if it's like it you know if if prints and digital aren't making any money do they have to then go to marvel studios and sort of ask for a handout or is it kind of assumed that, well, we'll sort you out just because we're all in the same? Yeah, right, okay. Or is it kind of the Disney thing of like, you're not making any money, so comics are done forever? Yeah, maybe.

Yeah. We'll find out because they own Marvel Comics. I mean, this is also, I think it might have been Dan Olsen on Twitter this week who said something like, what this whole movie industry shake-up is probably going to do is just put more properties in the hands of Disney. Why does he say that specifically? I think it's just because...

Because they're buying up stuff? Yeah, because they'll probably just start buying up stuff. Yeah, right. Like movie production houses that aren't making any money. Like on a movie chains that could be going under. Yeah, right. And who's going to buy them? Disney.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. And then, I mean, already Disney have a monopoly on a lot of movie theatres and you need to have this showing on the maximum amount of screens which pushes out

more indie films and there's been deals like that that have been done in the past. And once again, we do want to make clear that if Disney gives us enough money, we will say anything say literally anything they want about about disney doesn't matter or anybody else or

we'll you know if they threaten us we'll stop we'll stop criticizing disney that's fine too we'll do whatever we'll do whatever i don't care yeah yeah disney like the sun like i fear disney more than i fear the sun you know what i mean yeah yeah i won't lie in front of a disney for too long i don't know don't look the mouse directly in the eyes. You'll go blind. Here's some good news, though. Here's some stuff that's not cancelled. You excited for this?

Yes. Great. Actually, this first one is. John Kasdan. John Kasdan's cancelled? No, well, no, he's not. He spoke about, he wrote Solo and had a hand in the new Indiana Jones film. He was asked on Twitter by Marco Tomato.

Great name. You got any updates on a Solo sequel or are you completely locked in with Indy 5? And John says... And also, are you interested in any aliens that might look like a tomato? Any actors you have in mind? Because, I mean, you know. Yeah. Marco Tomato's here.

You know where I am. John said... I mean, there's a planter box. Don't think anybody's pursuing a solo sequel at the moment i think a feature at this point will be a tough sell and the disney plus uh star wars slate is pretty packed all of the shows all shows i'm looking forward to you also fizz disney like us smart that's right uh my workload in india is long over but i'm excited there's forward movement I'm not surprised there's no solo sequel, but this is just confirmation that that movie did not make enough money

to warrant even a... Look, it wouldn't surprise me if characters from that show up in sequel and prequel series and things like that. You know, you throw in Alden Ironreich in the Cassian Andor prequel or whatever is happening in that show. But yeah, a straight solo sequel at this point, very unlikely. Yeah. Iron Reich in the Cassian Andor prequel or whatever is happening in that show. But, yeah, a straight solo sequel at this point. Very unlikely.

Yeah. And then that movie was, they made it. Yes. That's all right. Until they run out of ideas, then solo sequel. Then it's back. Yeah. It's back.

Yeah. FX's The Veil explores the surprising and fraught relationship between two women who play a deadly game of truth and lies on the road from Istanbul to Paris and London.

Let alone this year. This year, right. It's like two months out. Yeah. Even if things ramp down, which could very well happen with social distancing and, you know, one would hope so.

You go to that place, it's got to be a fucking Petri dish of that shit. Are you kidding me? You're going to have to shut it down, right? Yeah. Or cosplay only. You've got to put a mask on. Yeah, absolutely.

Cosplay only Zoom meeting. Exactly, yes. There's 300,000 people at a Zoom conference. Would you go to that? No. Next year? Maybe. I think we have to do it one year.

Okay. I don't want to, and I don't want to line up for anything because I'm too old for that shit just to watch a trailer that either goes online or I'll see it in a couple of months. Like, I don't know is what I'm saying. Yeah. The other thing is Rick and Morty is back at May 3 for the back half of the season.

Yeah. Looks good. More actions and adventures. It's very little Samurai Pizza Cats the season. Yeah. Looks good. More actions and adventures. It's very little samurai pizza cats reference maybe. Oh, my goodness. I mean, it's sort of very, very kind of Japanese. Yeah. Gundam.

Gundam style. Gundam style. K-pop. Gundam style. Looks exciting. I mean, we just get sort of the action beats in this. We don't really know. We can't really tell what the rest.

The family dynamic and whatever. Yeah, and we don't really see what the overarching plot is, if there even is one. Probably, I'd say. Yes. They're going to have to do the evil Morty at some point, right? They never will. Come back to it.

Maybe it'll appear on a list many years hence of, like, one of those on the dangling plot threads from your favourite cartoon or whatever. Yeah, good question. The other thing is Ryan Reynolds is going to star in a live-action Dragon's Lair movie. Yeah, right? Remember that game that's impossible to beat? Yes.

It's just choose money, just eat money. Yes. Yeah. So that was known for its very stylish and cool animation, right? Yes. It was never released as a film, I assume. No, although I remember watching a cartoon. Was there a tape?

There must have been a cartoon because I saw it on TV once as a kid. Yeah. So maybe, but I also wonder if maybe that was a, it was just various animations compiled together into a short. I'm just looking to see if that's the case. And there we go. Don Bluth, was that the guy who created it? Yeah, you're probably right.

Don Bluth. You know him? I mean, only by reputation. You know him? He made Dragon's Lair. Yeah, it is Don Bluth. There you go. Nice, nice.

So home versions, here we go. So yeah, there were side scholars and iOSos versions and doesn't seem to be there's a game boy version oh that must be horrible yeah it might be better i think that one is just like a straight ahead but i know the side scroller one is an impossible side scroller yeah right it's like more it's harder than the, because it doesn't play well. Yeah. It looks all right, but it's just an atrocious game. I think that's all the news, though. Is that all the news? Oh, no, you had an Ant-Man bit of news you were telling me about.

I had two. A couple bits of news. Well, I mean, that's related to Rick and Morty because- Yeah, the perfect segue and you didn't take it. How's that feel? Oh, my God. I should have just gone with it. Oh, no, we've got other stuff.

We've got trailers as well. Oh my God, I should have just gone with it. Oh no, we've got other stuff. We've got trailers as well. The writer who's been tapped to write Airman 3 is Jeff Loveness, who has written many things. He's written comic books and he's written some episodes of Rick and Morty.

Do you know which ones? Comic books? No. No, but we could look it up. He wrote 2017's Nova Resurrection, which is new Nova meets old Nova. What are they like? They get along.

That's fun. It's really good. He wrote Guardians of the Galaxy Groot. Oh, cool. He wrote Strange Skies Over East Berlin, which I think is an indie comic that I have not gotten to. Ugh, yuck. Yeah.

Actually, I love a good indie comic. Yeah, real good. Real nice. Terrific. Okay, well, it seems like he's got a good handle on many, many things, doesn't he? That is true. Very true. And a bit of sad news, because why wouldn't we wind up with some sad news?

Oh, bring it down, please. Is Adam Schlesinger, a member of Fountains of Wayne, he passed away this month. From the virus. The coronavirus, yeah, which is very sad. He's best known, obviously, for Stacey's Mom, the song. Founsel Wayne, which is a band a lot of people really enjoy. But also he wrote That Thing You Do, the song from That Thing You Do, which is incredible.

I mean, if you just go on Twitter and look up his name, everybody's got great stories about him. He also wrote a lot of the songs for My Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Oh, right, okay. read a lot of the songs for um my crazy ex-girlfriend all right okay yeah but i think his skill as a songwriter is that he wrote the song that thing you do yes which is a song that is meant to be like a beatles-esque greatest song in the world like you have it's it's like writing a stand-up comedian doing comedy in a movie or a TV show and actually making that funny. Yeah.

And it's hard to write a song. It has to be a song that is good enough and catchy enough that you would believe that it could be the greatest, most popular song in the world. And it's good. It is. I love that thing you do. I've got to watch that movie again.

I love that thing you do, James. What specific thing? Slowly go mad in a room. I'm good at it, aren't I? You're so good. I feel like I've been dragging it out a bit much, haven't I? I feel like I've got to go off the cliff at some point. It's been like five, six years.

No? No. No? You don't think it's getting old? No, no. What you have to do is you have to go right up to the edge of that cliff and then bottle it all back down again. Just really tamp it down.

Okay. And then I think you can go another six or seven years and then doubly bad, maybe. Or pack it back down again. Pack it back down again. Like a coiled spring. Like a coiled spring, exactly. He wrote Clore and Horta Special Rictums Morty, which is the dragon episode. Yeah, right.

And he's also writing some upcoming ones as well. Cool. Episode six, seven, eight. Or one of, because there's many different people involved in different episodes of that show. So there you bloody go, mate. There you bloody go, exactly. Trailers ahoy! Perfectly in sync, as always.

Train to Busan Peninsula, August 2020, from director Yeon Sang-ho. Have you seen the first Train to Busan? No, it was on the TV the other day, the actual free-to-air TV, but I had to go and get something to eat just watch it it's so great it's probably it's one of the best zombie movies of all time you're right and it's on a train no it's it takes place in busan there's no trains in it that's the

thing wow no obviously there is a train there's also a prequel movie directed by the same guy yes which is animated which i also would like to watch. It's called Plain Old Busan. Nothing happens in it. Regular day Busan. So, yeah, trailer looks great. It's set in a different, like, four years after, I guess a bit the way, like, 28 days later, 28 weeks later,

and that kind of vibe, I guess. Well, you just had to top it, didn't you, Busan? Yeah, they really did. All right. And that's cool. And then off the back of that, if we're talking the end of the world, Jerry Butler's Greenland. Oh, I didn't watch the trailer.

Should I watch it right now? Yeah, sure. I'll watch it right now. All right, I'll pause it. Okay. I'm going to watch it again too. Okay, great. Oh, my God.

What kind of vague American accent do you think he's got, Mason? Working man. We're back, and Mason's got thoughts. We watched it, and it sucks. I agree. Yes. Maybe it's because I'm going mad, but I'm like, yeah, I'll watch that. Definitely.

You're right. Yeah. And because you really love Geostorm. I'm the anti, you know, I'm not that guy either. I hate Geostorm. You hate Geostorm. I hate the Geostorm movie specifically. Geostorm specifically.

Yeah. But this one, I don't know. Is this coming out soon? Surely not. Why are you even releasing this trailer? I feel it's in poor taste to have an end-of-the-world movie. What? You think you're a bit of a snowflake, Mason?

If you can't handle it, Mason. That's a really good point. Yeah. Whatever the people say in these situations. Also, you know, this time of year, right now, with what we're all going through, another Gerard Butler movie? Come on. June 11, 2020.

Oh, yeah. Get out of here. What are you talking about? I'm not June 11th, 2020. Oh, yeah. Get out of here. What are you talking about? I'm not leaving my house for that. You know what they're doing? They're rolling the dice. They're thinking movie theaters might be open by then. Yep. We'll go earliest release date.

And if it doesn't happen, they'll push it back. Yeah, that's probably true. Or they'll cancel it forever and we'll all forget. Yep. Or they'll release it on streaming maybe. Yeah, sure. It looks like it could easily do any of those things. Anyway, this is Armageddon if some asteroid pieces hit the ground.

You mean Deep Impact? Yes. That's what happened in Deep Impact, yes. Yeah. Also, look, I think maybe we've mentioned it in previous weeks, but I think at this point you should not be allowed to release a disaster movie if there isn't a scene where once the danger has been established, there's not a scene where once the danger has been established there's not

a scene where everybody frantically goes to the supermarket and like buys all the toilet paper i think yeah that's fair yeah you want to make it realistic don't you yeah and then dengerard butler goes to the supermarket with his family and he just the shelves are bare toilet paper yeah that's right he does does. Yeah. Yeah. And he can't do the rest of the movie. Can't do the movie. He's embarrassed. Yeah, that's right.

He's like, just leave me. Just leave me. Oh, my goodness. He featured the guy who plays Stick. Yeah. Daredevil. It's not David Carradine, right? The other guy, yeah.

I had a moment here where I'm like, how old is this movie? When did they make this? Was David Carradine still alive when they made it? Maybe. Maybe. Stick Daredevil, right? Yeah. What's his name again?

Can't remember. He's in everything in the world. Scott Glenn. Okay. Yeah. Well, good for you, Scott Glenn. Who played Stick in Terrence Stamp? I'm like, did he play Stick in the-

Who played Stick in Terrence Stamp? I assume he's a registered medical practitioner. He played Stick in Terrence Stamp. I assume he's a registered medical practitioner. I was thinking for a second that Scott Glenn also played Stick in like Electra and Daredevil, the movie. Oh, right. But no. No.

I'm just mixing up things in my head. I saw renewed rumours that Daredevil is going to be in Spider-Man 3. Which site? I don't know, one of them. One of them. Maybe Screen Rant, I don't know. Great, it's a good one. Yeah.

That being said, I looked at the traffic for that animation I did. A lot of it came from Screen Rant. Good for Screen Rant. You know I nearly did videos for Screen Rant at one point? And then what happened? They said, no, thank you. This was years ago. So you were nearly going to do it in your own mind?

No, yes. No, yeah, I should say. So maybe I contacted them. It was probably that. But to do videos. Yes. And it was around the same time I started doing videos at Comic Book Movie. And they were like, oh, we're going to go in a different direction.

So, you know, Screen Rants, you know their videos. They're all like 10 Green Lanterns and whatever. Not even the comic book character. It's 10 Lanterns we painted green. They're in our garden. So, yeah, which is probably a wiser thing because they get millions of views. Yeah. Not even the comic book character. It's 10 lanterns we painted green. They're in our garden. So, yeah, which is probably a wiser thing because they get millions of views and mine are just like,

what if Anthony Koudavidis was in this? Yeah. They were like, listen, we love your work and we would love to bring you on as part of the Screen Rant family. Now, are you at any point going to go mad? Can you do this consistently for a decade? Just lists of things and you're like,

I cannot in good conscience promise that I will not go mad. Thank you and good day. Yeah, they definitely made the right call. It's time to take a break, Mason, an ad break. Thank goodness. Oh, my God. What a relief. That's what the world needs right now, advertising.

Agreed. Well, especially this advertising because HelloFresh, Mason, they offer so many recipes to choose from each week to help you break out of your recipe rut, which I'm sure many of us are in right now. Absolutely. See, before this, I was about to make fun of the ad, and then I'm like,

no, that's good, actually. Don't leave your house, get this. There's more to the ad, but honestly, don't leave the house, order HelloFresh. It's linked below. You can just do that at this point. But yeah, there's something for everybody, including low calorie, vegetarian, family friendly recipes every week, and the average trip to the grocery store, which quite frankly is quite perilous at the moment.

Oh my God. It takes 41 minutes, and that's over 35 hours a year if you go once a week. So yeah, and obviously there are now other factors also. There's a definite other factor. You don't want that anymore. I really don't. HelloFresh has pre-proportioned ingredients. That means there's less prep and less food waste,

which is perfecto, I believe. And you can easily change your delivery days or food preferences and skip a week whenever you need. It's also America's number one meal kit. Is it really that's what it says yeah well now it's going to be america's number one a plus meal kit wow everybody's getting on board don't leave your house don't leave your house i knew it here's some good examples of great foods i'm ready chicken pineapple quesadillas well i mean that

does sound good but you can't get that on hello. Mason? I wasn't just naming a meal at random. It sounds like what you were doing. You could also get, I picked this one just for you, sunny side up burgers with bacon, gouda, and smoky potato hash. You think I'm just a burger guy? Because I am. I thought that's the rut that we fell into. I name a burger.

I did half a brick if it was between two brioche buns, but luckily that one sounds more delicious. Terrific. You can actually go to hellofresh.com slash weeklyplanet10, as in 1-0, and use the code weeklyplanet10 for 10 free meals, including free shipping. That's a tremendous amount of meals.

Yes, it is. Right? It's cray. Not crayfish. I mean, maybe there'll be some at some point. But if that's lunch and dinner, you don't have to leave the house for five days. No, you really don't. That's hellofresh.com slash weeklyplanet10 and use code weeklyplanet10 for 10 free meals,

Do either. Do either. All right. I'm with the show? I'm with the show, man. No one's seeing you, so it doesn't matter. Do either. Do either. All right, I'm with the show? I'm with the show, I reckon. Good. Good break, though, right? It was good. Oh, my God, yeah.

Just to stretch the pipes. Great break from the content, you know? And we're back. We're back. What an ad. Well, not only, I know, right? If you didn't listen to the ad, if you're the kind of person who skips the ad, you're missing out.

You're missing out. I'm great, and a great deal as well. Yeah, it is a great deal. We need it now more than ever. Agreed. So every year I feel my very tenuous knowledge of Harry Potter slips further and further from my grasp. And that was none more evident than watching the two Harry Potter movies

we are up to and our famous, we watch two Harry Potter movies every two years and talk about it. We haven't done this in two years, yeah. Yeah, because there hasn't been a magical beast. Where are they at? That's true. Case, obviously. They were in the case.

Just don't open the case. Just don't open the case. Keep them fed, obviously. It's been pointed out to me since we've done the Harry Potter, any of the fantastic beast movies, where are they? They're in the case. Don't open the case.

The case even has a little switch on it. You push the little switch. Don't open the case. Yeah. The case even has a little switch on it. You push the little switch. Yeah. And then you open the case. Yes. And they can't get out. Yeah. So just keep that switch.

Yeah. Switch, switch. It's a really good point. The fake kind of. Yeah, the fake, the false bottom in the case. Very cool. Just keep the false bottom there. I will.

Yeah. If I'm ever writing or in one of those movies, if I'm the actor in that movie, I'll be like, listen to me. I'm ever writing or in one of those movies, if I'm the actor in that movie, I'll be like, listen to me. I'm not doing this. So he went through customs and then clearly he went, well, the false bottom work now switch off the false bottom.

Yeah. What an idiot. What an idiot. I want to be clear about this. Cause we watched Harry Potter five and six at order of the Phoenix and the half blood Prince. Yes. Some AKA the ones where they stopped messing with Harry Potter's hair. They're just like,

this is his look now. All right. Okay. Just, that's right. Cause in the previous where they stop messing with Harry Potter's hair. They're just like, this is his look now. Oh, right, okay. Oh, that's right, because in the previous, he had like a big long, like a long situation. He had a Noel Gallagher or something? He had the rigs from Lethal Weapon. Yes, he did. Late era rigs from Lethal Weapon is what he had.

Yeah. Look, the caveat is I know they're movies for children and people grew up on them and you can enjoy them, but we're going to go hard on these movies. Big time. Also, not only that, we're going to get a lot of this wrong. Oh, yeah, for sure. And a lot of the stuff that I'm going to complain about,

I'm sure, has a rational explanation. Pottermore. That is based on existing law or J.K. Rowling has since come out and said, well, the reason for that is this on or a tweet existing law or JK Rowling has since come out and said well the reason for that is this I don't care I'm seeing these movies

divorced of context years after the previous movie came out years after I've seen any of the prior ones I don't care all the information that is needed

should be in each movie agreed I will say this of this movie I was not looking forward to starting these again I I'm like, I am fucking not in the mood for these this week. Like, at all. I've been

banging out Fantastic Four movies. It hasn't been a good time, if I'm honest. This is no time for another franchise. So, that being said, this is the one that I feel is better than the book definitively. Order of the Phoenix. Number yeah number five that's a

very long and dull nothing happens book okay right until the end where a significant spoilers by the way well yeah the harry potter every direction in harry potter yeah except for the the new play we i want to talk about the new play every the the all the movies all the books fantastic beasts yeah probably the cookbook if there is one. Yep. Whatever house you're in. Yeah. Snagglebluff.

Snagglebluff. You're Snagglebluff. Probably The Monopoly. Yeah, probably, exactly. If there's a monopoly, you know, we're spoiling that. Go straight to Diagon Alley. You'd go to Dementors Prison, wouldn't you? You'd go to Dementors Prison, yeah.

You'd lose your sanity. I had a question about Dementors prison, wouldn't you? You'd go to Dementors prison, yeah. You'd lose your sanity. I had a question about Dementors, right off the bat. Look, I've written many notes. We may go in order, we may not. My first note just says, shiny Dudley. Because at the start of this movie, Dudley shows up, like Harry Potter's just kicking it in a playground, I think. Yeah, Cedric has just died, by the way.

He's also cutting hair. He's not happy with it, if he's honest. But anyway, Dudley, his cousin, shows up with his mates, and he's very shiny. He must have been the style at the time, but he's wearing some very shiny workout gear. In the book. Big baggy shorts.

In the book, and I think this is the time when it started also. I think he gets more more he starts doing boxing and he does or no dudley does and so he becomes like a local bully and i think this being in mind i haven't read this book in 15 years so i don't i don't really remember but what i loved about his mates are he's like this pack of bullies yeah as with a lot of like real life bullies they're just a pack of fucking dropkicks, mate. You know what I mean? They're not super cool.

They're mismatched and schlubby, and one's like a little rat one. One's got bleached hair for no reason, and it's just this crew of fuckwits. Right. But basically, Harry and Dudley have kind of a stoush, and Harry threatens Dudley with his wand, which he can't do in this because he's out in public or what have you,

and then all these clouds form, and then some Dementors attack. Big time. Big time. So I guess my question is. Sure. What's with the racist elf? Does that come up later? Probably.

Not really. I guess my question is, do they steal your soul? What's going on there? Yeah, so they suck the soul out of you. Okay. But if that process is interrupted, does your soul go back in your body? It does go back in your body. It doesn't get a bit of it. You don't go

for the rest of your life with, or is it like your liver? Does your soul grow back? No, no, I think there's, in other movies, you see it go back in. Which movie? Who's to say? But you do see it go back in. You're a fan of the dementors yeah i love them love their work i like the idea in this that there's just this absolute shit show of a bureaucracy

just ruining everything because they're operating the dementors aren't they're not supposed to leave azkaban and they're not prison sorry and they're not right i know that harry potter and a prisoner of dementors prison so these dementors they're not they, they're not Voldemort's henchmen. No, they often are. Yeah, but they're run by ostensibly the good guys. These are the good guys monsters. Yeah, they stop. So there's never been a breakout of Azkaban except for Sirius Black

because he turned into a dog and ran out. And they were like, we don't know what this is. We did not factor this in. We did not factor this in. Yeah. We did not factor in a magician who has incredible powers in every sphere of magical acumen. We didn't factor he might turn into a dog. Yeah, but the thing is about- Our force fields work on everything except a dog, apparently.

But the thing is- There's going to be a lot of that this episode. If there's a dog, right, if people turn into animals, you have to legally register. Oh, you can turn into a dog. And Harry Potter's dad, who turns out terrible, terrible bloke, him and his mates did it

and they didn't register with the government. So they don't know he can do that to this book and to his credit. But he's a criminal. A lot of criminals

don't register their crimes. I don't know if you're aware of that. You know what they should do? They should put him in that weird acid pit that they have in that other movie. What? Remember that acid pit? Yeah, the acid pit where,

do you mean in Fantastic Beasts? Yeah, where they just kill them on a whim. If you import it, yeah, exactly. If you import an animal, they'll give you the acid, the acid, the acid mark. There's no trial. No.

Just get to the acid pit. Look, we're going to get into- Harry Potter and Ron falls in an acid pit. Would you watch that movie? We're going to get into it because I have made notes and i think that the question is obviously the level of crimes for which you get executed and the level they'll strip away your magic ability or the level of level of crime where you just get a slap on the wrist it's it's all over the place yeah for example here harry potter saves his cousin from the Dementors by using his spells.

Yes. And so he immediately gets expelled from Hogwarts. Yep, via a screaming letter. Via a screaming letter. But first of all, Dudley was unconscious because his soul had been pulled out of his body. Yes. So he wouldn't have seen it happening. Well, he can't see it anyway because they're invisible.

But he would see the spell. Yeah, I guess he would. But that's the thing. There were no other witnesses. No, there was. There was that old woman. But she's on board, right? Yeah.

She's cool. The point is it's the bureaucracy. Right, yes. Because he's already probably infiltrated a lot of the Ministry of Magic. All the board. Yeah. And there's Death Eaters in there. And there's a lot of people at the top who are completely oblivious

or who don't want to believe he's back. And they just rule followers. Yeah. But I think there's also, I think it's pretty, you know, because there is, there's multiple global crises happening.

It is, right? And there's a lot of people who are in power who are just like, no, no, it's not. Yeah, right, yeah. So to me, I can't relate to that on any level. So that makes a lot of sense to me.

Or they pin this shit on a kid to divert attention from what's actually happening. But what happens, obviously, is first of all, they just go, you're expelled. Yep. And then they're like, oh, but there's going to be a trial later. Yes. Expulsion is... Like, if you're a guy who, like... Just...

I'm doing a lot of wand waving. Sure, okay. People can't tell out there. But if you're a guy who... If you're a kid who wantonly uses magic in an illegal manner and they expel you, you're just going to go and do magic. No, you're not allowed to. They'll arrest you. So Hagrid, right?

Yes. He's technically not allowed to do magic. But he does magic. He does magic. Remember he gives Dudley a pigtail in the first movie. I don't know if you remember. Not in the hair, out of his butt. Oh, yeah, yeah.

So if you remember Chamber of Secrets. Yes. Remember that big spider that Chamber of Secrets. Yes. Remember that big spider that died in this movie? Yes. The one's like, oh, that spider's a... It was in another movie, probably that movie also. Hagrid brought that into the school when he was a student and it escaped, right?

Oh, yes. And he got blamed for the first Chamber of Secrets, the snake killed everybody in the school, right? That's why Hagrid can't use magic. You know what I'm looking forward to in this episode? Eventually you start, you do so many explanations for a Harry Potter movie that eventually something clicks in your brain and you're like, this is all insane.

It is insane. Yeah. I don't disagree with that. But then he's still allowed to work on the grounds because Dumbledore kind of. Right. But at the same time, Hagrid, if they thought he did that, which most people do

should be in jail right because he released a monster that's what i think that's what i'm saying you go are you you're expelled so now you're a guy who has some magical training and you're just out in the world the other thing about magic is blow the thing up the other thing about magic is depending on the situation you can't tell who did it you can just tell the wand in the area i think oh i have many questions about that. There will be follow-ups. And look, your answer's going to be because they needed the plot to go forward.

Sure. Why didn't this happen? Because plot. That's basically, yeah. Big spider. Okay, easy question for you, though. Yes. Do you actually like these movies?

Kind of. Yeah, because I do. I like the actors. Yeah. I think they're... I watched a video of Emma because I do. I like the actors. Yeah. I think they're... I watched a video of Emma Watson getting stuff out of her handbag. Cool. Because I'm like, she's interesting.

Yeah, she's got stuff going on. She went to university like a normal person. That's right. Daniel Radcliffe seems not insane somehow. Yeah, I watched his list of roles. I like his show. Yeah. It's good.

They're all compelling. They're good. Yeah. I also think Dolores Umbridge is a great villain. Yeah. Well, you love to hate her, don't you? Yeah. It's good. They're all compelling. They're good. Yeah. I also think Dolores Umbridge is a great villain. Yeah. Well, you love to hate her, don't you? Yeah. It's also a weird universe where you can literally torture a child in a school.

It's all very vague, isn't it? In the books. If anything, that weird acid room should probably be reserved for people who torture children. Yeah. But if you've got a teaching degree, I guess it's fine. In the book, and I can't remember whether it's the movie, Harry has a permanent scar from that. He's got like a shiny white scar from writing that into his hand.

Also, if that was me, I'd be like, fuck you, no. There's no situation where a teacher could make somebody do that. I had a note here, because she gives him a pen, and when you write things with a pen, it engraves itself on your flesh, and that's the punishment. But I've written here, he gives Harry the pen, and he goes, you haven't given me any ink. Harry, how long have you been at this magical school? What do you think's happening here?

It's obviously a magic. Everything in this place is magic, Harry. It's amazing to me, though, that this- Why are you still surprised by magical things, things being magic you shouldn't be but that is surprising because why do they use ink right it should be a magic never-ending ink pen or a regular pen why do they go places and like go to work like they they were all they all just funnel themselves into a subway. Well, that's a very apt metaphor, isn't it, Mason?

Yeah. Really makes you think, doesn't it? When they could, you know, they could use magical Zoom, which is an actual Zoom. It Zooms you to work. It Zooms you to your office. Or you just yell out of a fireplace. Your face is in a fireplace and you're like,

ah, Johnson, you need to get this to whatever. You know what I mean? Yeah. I have a note about that. Are we doing movies one at a time or are we doing? Doesn't matter. Okay. So it's weird that the ministry,

because she has the ability to fire staff, right? Yeah, right. And she fires the woman who can see the future. Oh, I have the note here. It says, if you can communicate through a fire, why can't you eavesdrop on the fire through a coffee table? Right? He's like, I'm going, I'm using the serious black.

He's like, I'm using secret magic to, because people communicate with you and it's a secret. But I mean, if Harry Potter's under suspicion, you just magic the coffee table or whatever, or a painting or something. You put a guy in a painting. Well, they can yeah and then because you can have a painting on what you can have jewel paintings right yeah and and they can travel from one painting to the other and they can be on the opposite sides of the world so yes yes right you are correct i am correct yeah there's

a lot of ways to listen you've got a long ear on a string yep whose ear was that i've written here well what are the weasleys losers in here do you think that's his ear not yet oh but uh time turner maybe it is yeah maybe that's the i mean it'll it'll happen eventually somebody be like jk rowling whose ear is this and they'll be like it's he went back in time and he left his ear there i think fred and george when you, when they escape and they do that big prank and they smash all the signs down, all the decrees that Weasley Wormface puts up or whatever his name is. What's his name? Sledge.

Flinge or something. Flinge or Bilge. Flidge? Filge. Bilge. Bilge Filge. The guy from Game of Thrones. Yeah, that guy.

And they torture Dolores Umbridge With a big fake dragon And they explode everything Oh yeah yeah They should be in jail They should be in jail Like they They just went and opened a shop

It's not an illusion It's like Things blow up Yeah Like rock is coming off the wall Side note There is a bit in this Where Umbridge

She knows that a bunch of kids Are in a room Yeah And she just blows up the wall Yes OH&S She's a lunatic They're all lunatics in this Again we've said this umbridge she knows that a bunch of kids are in a room yeah and she just blows up the wall yes she oh h&s she's a lunatic they're all lunatics in this again we've we've said this that would be like a teacher firing a gun at a door right to get it look we've we've discussed this that they all have guns essentially yeah we've just i mean exactly like this is a dangerous place to

to live and nobody to live and learn and work and nobody everybody's like wow magic nobody's like this is crazy though i think the new people are the people who come from you know like muggle families but you're quickly like don't worry about it yeah i've written here the wand is the cell phone of the wizard and gun well cell phone and gun but it's like well it's because like they use it for they use it for everything, even when mundane stuff would be better. There's a moment in this movie where they're searching, I think, they're in a big room filled with glass.

They're prophecies. They're all in glass cases or whatever. And they've all got their wands out, and they're just using them like a light on your cell phone. Like a torch, yeah. Just use a regular cell phone, maybe. But you don't need it, because you've got a wand, man. But it'd be like, again, if it's a gun,

it should be like, man, sure is dark in here. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. So as long as I keep firing this. Guns have torches on them, some of them do. Some of them have torches on it, yeah. Can't argue with that. That's true. Sometimes you do that thing that Mulder and Scully do

where they've got a gun and they've got a torch. You know what they do? Yeah. But one of them sees that Mulder and Scully do where they've got a gun and they've got a torch. You know what they do? Yeah. But one of them sees it and one of them doesn't. That's how Mulder and Scully work, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I hate the line in this where Hermione's like,

we should train and whatever. And she's like, I love doing illegal magic now with Harry. And Ron's like, who are you and what have you done with Hermione? The worst line in anything ever. Yeah, yeah. Also... And she'd be like, well, the time turner turned me evil. So I'm evil Hermione? The worst line in anything ever. Also. And she'd be like, well, the time turner turned me evil. So I'm evil Hermione now. That's what happened.

Ron, again, absolute dead shit in these movies. And now is this because, again, like in the previous ones, the good lines that Ron had in the books they've given to Harry and other characters. Or Hermione. Again, as people have pointed out also, he's supposed to be the point of view into the magical world because he grew up with it

yeah Hermione knows the book smarts Harry just kind of scoots by what everyone else tells him muddles his way through yeah which I don't actually mind

and I think it becomes more apparent as these movies go on that he's not a particularly skilled wizard right and as he mentions in this movie in particular

he's lucky and he's had help I've written down here, Harry realized it's been luck all along after five movies. When you're a kid, you're invincible. Yeah, that's true. Until you see your friend die. Yeah.

When a baby zaps him with a wand and kills him. Remember that? Evil baby. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Speaking of the Weasley brothers, here's a note that I've written. There's a scene where they all go to, they have Christmas lunch or Christmas dinner, I think it is, and it's kind of nice

and Harry's there and Hermione's there and all the love interests are there and et cetera. But I've written, I wonder if the Weasley brothers ever get depressed that their families see them as interchangeable. Because there is a moment in this movie where their mum has two presents and one's red and one's green and just goes swaps them about and goes yeah yeah there you go absolutely and they're both the same scarf they're also often confused by their own family members yeah i've taught twins yes and like you you would know

twins and i've known even identical twins you can tell them apart if you know them it's amazing to me that they haven't figured that out yet. Then they do mess around with them all the time and all that. But are they magically twins? I think they're just twins. Like maybe they're, because they don't seem to mind. Again, there's no moment of self-awareness where they just, they take their scarves and they go like, oh, thanks, Mama. What a great Christmas we're having.

And then they just go to separate rooms in the house and they're just like, you don't know us at all. They go to the same room. They go to the same room, exactly, yeah. And they just go to separate rooms in the house. And they're just like, you don't know us at all. They go to the same room. They go to the same room. Exactly. Yeah. And they cry. They definitely share a bed.

They cry. Exactly. They cry in mirror image. And then they stop at the same time. And they just go back out to the living room. I'd imagine they spoon like they're in the womb. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Do you like those guys? I think they get more kind of, they're way kind of cheekier. I like how they're way kind of cheekier. I like how they're selling poison in this movie. That's something I enjoy. They're just like, you want to get out of school? Here's some poison. We make this.

We're teenagers. I guess. It's a very powerful love potion. If you give it to somebody, you could get them to kill somebody else for you. That's fine. We're not qualified. We're children. But we're going to do this. And it's not a fine. We're not qualified. We're children. But we're going to do this.

And it's not a crime. We're not going to the acid van or whatever. We didn't go to jail for that time we raped the school. Right. We didn't go to jail for poison. Yeah. Can you imagine if a student went into an actual school and went, hey, you want to get out of class?

Here's some poison. Here's some razor blades. Yeah, that's right. This is the one with the love story. It's got a bunch of love stories going on. Teenage kissing stuff. The next one has a lot of love stories as well, I think. I think this is where it kind of starts a bit at four,

but, you know, Ron starts kissing girls. Oh, yeah, and Hermione's a bit jealous. He's kissing boys, and, like, Cormac McLagan, Harry's kissing bloody Cedric Diggory's bloody girlfriend after he died. I was going to say corpse. Corpse, yeah. It's a bit rough how she gets treated at this because she got tortured. That's Jo, right?

That's Jo, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Well, everybody in this is being either tortured or, like, poisoned into giving up information. Doesn't Dolores Umbridge, again, she, like, has a truth serum. She puts it in everybody's tea. Yeah, she loves it. Uncool, Dolores Umbridge.

Oh, it's cool, isn't it? Okay, well, if it's cool, then I guess. She's the boss, it's fine. Yeah, she loves it. Uncool. Ah, it's cool. Dolores Umbridge. Oh, it's cool. You'll have to do it. Okay, well, if it's cool then, I guess. She's the boss. It's fine. Yeah, that's probably true. So I don't like Dumbledore in these movies, and I don't really like him as a character because he sucks.

Oh, yes. He's basically raising Harry to be shot. That's what's happening. Yeah, right. But this has the best Dumbledore moment. It's not, How did you put it today? I never took off with a fire.

This has the second best Dumbledore moment. It's not, how many did you put in today? I never did. Come on fire. This has the second best. Thank you. Dumbledore moment where he escapes his office by clapping in the Phoenix. And it disappears. That guy's like that Dumbledore man. He's got style. Like that is cool. It's the only cool thing he does in any of these movies.

He's got no spark. Am I wrong? He's just this dead panned, beaten down wizard. In the book, and I know he's got like, he's done a lot of stuff and he's seen a lot of stuff, but he's got this real kind of energy to him in the books. Yeah. And it's just not evident in these movies. And again, this is a recast, but

I feel like the other guy was so old that he didn't get that sense either. Yeah, right. But do you think is that because they don't want to then, if they recast, they don't want to then, if they recast, they don't want to be like, now really ramp it up for no reason.

That's what they should have done. Apparently they asked Ian McKellen. He's talked about how they asked him to do it, but he was like, I'm Gandalf, I'm not doing this.

But Ian McKellen would have crushed this. Yeah, for sure. It would have been way better. Also, he's gay. Not that it matters in these movies anyway, I guess.

Yeah, right, uh-huh. How about this? Jack Black. Oh my God. Fresh off School of Rock. Yeah, I would have loved that. That would have been incredible. He would have just riffed,

like he would have just improv'd all of it. I believe though, because J.K. Rowling had a lot of say over these movies. And one of the things was that she wanted an all British cast. And I think it's exclusively like British European. So you get the British Jack Black. Yeah. James Corden.

Just kidding. I've written down here, there's a scene quite early in the, look, I just want to get some early stuff out of the way. Yeah, Yeah. James Corden. Just kidding. I wrote, I've written down here. There's a scene quite early in them. Look, I just want to get some early stuff out of the way. There's a moment where they pick up Harry right at the start of the movie and they all get on their broomsticks. And I think it's moody.

Professor Moody goes, he's very like, um, he was in a, he was in a box for the whole previous movie. That's right. But this is the real moody. If I remember correctly.

So in this one, he goes, he, they, he gets very serious and he's like, don't break ranks. If one of us killed yeah and then nothing happens well they just fly around on their brooms for a bit just wait a couple of movies because this pretty much exact same thing happens and a bunch of people get killed well i haven't watched that movie yet so

this is a real that real nothing that dude is like notoriously paranoid he's known for it but the thing is he's almost exclusively right oh this time he was wrong and mean yeah i know i mean i got a weird weird bug eye but anyway there's a moment where they go to like a their safe house and all the walls open up and the muggles don't notice but there's some muggles humans yeah regular humans and they're watching a tv series and like with a laugh And I'm like, what are they watching? What are they watching in 2007? Might have been a peep show. These movies are set in the 90s.

Are they? The books are. These may or may not be. Right, okay. I don't think they are. Okay, right. Depending on streets and cars. Mrs. Brown's Boys?

Are they watching Mrs. Brown's Boys? Oh my God. They're watching Keeping Up Appearances. Well, I mean, they might be watching a DVD or a VHS. That's true. Could be watching Keeping Up Appearances. That's what? Are they watching Mrs. Brown's Boys? Oh, my God. They're watching Keeping Up Appearances. Well, I mean, they might be watching a DVD or a VHS. That's true. Could be watching Keeping Up Appearances. That's what I'd be watching. Could be watching The Vicar of Dibley.

Final season, 2007. I looked it up. That's not that long ago. Right? Yeah. Terrific. Yeah. Did you like our Harry?

Probably Gavin and Stacey. That's where I was going with that. Oh, okay. Because Gavin and Stacey doesn't have a laugh track. Is it good? It's got Rob Brydon. He's good. I like Rob Brydon.

Okay. Yeah. Can I just look at some Rob Brydon interviews instead? Yeah, I guess you could do that. Yeah. You could just watch him do impressions. Yeah. Why would you watch him do Michael Caine when I did Michael Caine?

That's a really good point. A couple episodes. You've ruined all Michael Caine impressions for me. I've ruined impressions. Did you like how Harry's dad sucks? Yeah. But I mean, we really only get 30 seconds of that. Yeah. But he does. He's like notoriously a bad dude at school. That's dad sucks. Yeah, but I mean, we really only get 30 seconds of that. Yeah, but he does.

He's like notoriously a bad dude at school. That's a shame. And is responsible for Snape is, who Snape is, who also sucks. He held him down and put a hair straightener on him for hours, for so long. It was a magical one.

And so his hair stayed like that. Yeah. And then you just see him, you just see him look at a picture of himself prior to that and he just looks like alan rickman in die hard just with that beautiful sweeping 80s hair and with a curve in it and he's like oh no i could have been so charismatic but i look like an eggplant i'm a greasy worm man yeah yeah but i think because harry gets a lot of

his kindness from his mother's side because his mother was friends with Snape and would defend Snape. Yeah, right, right, right. And now he's just like, yeah, look at his underwear. So why are James and Lily Potter, how did they get together? Because he grows up and because Snape was always in love with her but couldn't understand why she would date this dude. Snape's an incel, essentially. And Harry's dad is a Chad.

He's an inspel. Thank you. Thank you. So that's how that works. I get it. I get it. I get stuff. But he becomes better after school, Harry's dad, I guess.

Yeah. Yeah, and that's pretty good. Anyway, this whole movie's about a... Oh, you got more early on notes? Because, you know, whatever, man. Early on. Whose ear is that? We covered that.

Yep. Why doesn't Harry get a lawyer when he's going to be expelled? Why don't they give him a lawyer? He does. He's got Dumbledore. Yeah, but he shows up by accident. No, he did it on purpose. He knew he was supposed to be there.

But I mean, you know, but they weren't like, hey, Harry, you can get a lawyer. They didn't want him to get a lawyer. I know. They wanted to expel him. That's the point. They've got an acid room. They do have an acid room. It's all very vague, isn't it?

I think he was told also, maybe this is just in the books, that Dumbledore was going to meet him there. The book also really leans into Harry's really angsty and the movie does it less, which is good because Dumbledore is, sorry, because Voldemort is probing Harry's mind. Yeah, right. So that's why he's so angry. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's a metaphor for teen angst. I get it. Yeah, yeah. No, I got that at the time. Great. I've written here, the newspapers are really bitchy yes they are real real it's the british tabloids i guess it is because there's a moment where you know harry there's a there's a harry potter's again he's being accused of something i can't really remember what happened in the previous movies he's always being accused but he's always being he saved the day four years in a row

i think yeah yeah and they're still like Harry Potter, more like Harry Plotter. Yes. He plotted this, didn't he? Yeah. And they just, just little animations. I'm sure like Harry Potter would have seen the newspaper on the rack. Yeah. He would have said Potter and he'd been like, I wonder what this is about.

And it turns to Plotter and he's like, oh man. But I've been right every other time. I'm always right. He's always right. But I've been right every other time. I'm always right. He's always right. At one point Sirius Black says of a house elf,

he never was very pleasant. No. Yeah, because he lives in slavery. Yeah, but this one is particularly mean and racist. He's racist? Yeah, yeah. Towards anyone who isn't a house elf? Bloodbugs or whatever. Oh.

Yeah. Huh. Yeah, he's not a fan. He's also responsible for something in the book that they left out of the movie. He's somehow responsible for the Death Eaters getting into the ministry and killing Sirius Black because he says at one point, get out of here, Kretcher, and Kretcher goes, ooh, and he leaves and then he does something.

I can't remember specifically. Someone tell Mason on Twitter what that is. Don't tell me. I don't give a shit. Yeah, what I like about the Death Eaters also, where they turn up. Why am I not allowed to care either? Because you asked. Yeah, that's true.

You didn't ask. No. You asked why is he mean? Yeah, or no, because he's a racist. All I'm saying is they're still slaves. Yeah, but the other one's nice. Like Dobby's nice. Remember?

Yeah, I know, but he's a slave. Yeah, I know. He's good. So what I like about the Death Eaters are- No, that's the bad wizards. They're the bad wizards. That's the team of bad wizards. They're like weird upper management, eyes wide shut dudes.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? They're wearing those metal masks. Yeah, real weird. I've written here as a note, these great evil wizards aren't really that great. No. Because again, like if we're using the metaphor that the wand is just a gun, what is happening primarily here in this movie,

especially towards the end, it's a bunch of teenagers with guns versus a bunch of adults with guns. And none of them seem particularly good at anything. Like you'd think the adults would have more magic things, like they'd have more strings to their bow yes in terms of magic but it's mostly just two teams of people just just just whapping blasted each other also you could be doing the killing curse every time every time yeah is there any uh limitations on that does it take it out of you well you gotta you gotta have a lot of hate in your heart when you do it i think yeah these people seem to have a lot of hate in their heart yeah you do it, I think. These people seem to have a lot of hate in their heart. Yeah, but a lot of these

people are just going along with it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like Draco's not really into it, is he? Talk about him in the next movie. Yes. Though that being said, Helena Bonham Carter is great at these movies. She's really just like cackling it up just over the top. But speaking of

adults being bad at things, you know when they all finally get cornered in the ministry and Malfoy's like, hand over the prophecy, Harry Potter. Oh, I hate that Malfoy. I hate him more than regular Malfoy. I hate old Malfoy. You know why? Because he's stupid, straight, and white hair.

I hate it. You got pinned down? Huh? Did you get pinned down? No, he did it himself. He didn't get pinned down, did he? No, he pinned it down, but I'd pin him down and shave his head. That's what I'd do.

You're stupid. Yeah, we get it. We get it. You're like long guitar solos and ice caves we get it we get it but serious black then shows up and to open the the fight like restarting again he throws a punch yes and i'm like just fucking blast him you can also freeze him and then hit him right that's been established i've written written here because I've got an answer for everything and a question for everything. In this universe, do you turn to the dark side if you kill someone? No, there's no really like you can.

There's not dark side, light side. It's not like Star Wars. Because you know what I'd do probably? Yeah. I'd go, how do you stun somebody? Stun them. Expelliarmus. No, that's a different one.

You say, stupefy. You're stunned, mate. You're stunned, mate. You're stunned, mate. You go, stupefy. You're stunned, mate. What you do is you go, you're stunned, mate. You go, stupefy, right? Yep. And then you cut their throat. Yeah, great.

Because they're all evil. Straight up. And they're monsters. Yeah. You just stupefy, right? And then, when they're on the ground, get out your penknife. Exactly. Cut their throat.

You could even just jab your wand into their windpipe. Just like right in there. Probably do it, yeah. Yeah, that'd do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that'd do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I reckon if I showed up to that thing with a gun, I'd be evenly matched with whatever's going on there. That's what I'm talking about.

Because, like, you would assume. I can't block with a gun, though, can I, though? I did a shield and a gun. Yeah, maybe. A riot shield and a gun. A riot shield. Because you'd think that if you're a wizard and you've been a wizard for decades,

if somebody swung a punch at you, you'd have a countermeasure for that of some sort. But apparently you don't. No. So maybe I wouldn't even go stupefy. I'd kick them in the nuts and then I'd cut their throats. But nobody's really throwing punches. Like there's no Kung Fu in this universe, is there? You know?

That's what I'm saying. If you exist in a universe where nobody's expecting Kung Fu, you them some kung fu yeah straight up right yeah and then maybe they'd figure it out eventually but i reckon i could kung fu a bunch of those guys before they figured it out yeah you take a year of classes yeah you tear through them because also you just hit them in the windpipe yeah you windpipe them and then most can you kill and curse somebody without saying uh abracadabra i reckon it's probably harder right so you hit them in the windpipe so you Can you kill and curse somebody without saying Avra Cadavra? I reckon it's probably harder, right? So you hit them in the windpipe.

I'm not sure if it applies for that one in particular. I don't think it does. But you can think a thing and blast. That's what I figured, yeah. That's why all the cops in Fantastic Beasts can just be like pew, pew, pew. If you hit someone really hard in the side of the head, they're not thinking anything. No.

Or like you said, the nuts. Yeah. You're just out. You're just out for. No. Or like you said, the nuts. Yeah. You're just out. Yeah. You're just down for the count. I'd be like half a brick-oss. Half a brick-y-amo. Right?

You just hit them real hard. That's a callback to our ad we did. Yeah, you have to listen to the ad. We just hit them in the side of the head with half a brick. Yeah. There's plenty down there. Yeah, I agree. Everybody's fighting in weird ruins.

Yeah. You know? Weird prophecies. Speaking of that rope. Maybe a poke, like a fireplace poker? I think you could do it fighting in weird ruins. Yeah. You know? Weird prophecies. Speaking of that robe. Maybe a poker, like a fireplace poker? I think you could do it with a broom handle. Yeah. Just take the brush off.

Yeah. You clean up a room with those blokes. No problem. Anyways, all I'm saying is the villains that have been built up for many years in the books and the movies, I could probably take half of them without breaking a sweat. That's all I'm saying. At least half. Yeah, that's fair.

Do you reckon you could take Helen and Bonham Carter? She's quick, though, isn't she? Yeah, I reckon you could. She can, like, turn into a puff of smoke. Yeah, and whatever. They all do that. Yeah. Maybe.

What an era. I'd lure her in with some gothic trinkets. Like a ring with a skull on it? Ring with a skull on it. Ring with a skull, like gauntlet gauntlet yeah yeah for sure like some some some like some like lace doilies but they're black lace doilies exactly a pewter mug but it's like a skeleton's hand yes yes yes yes very good a pewter wizard but he's but he's holding a he's holding a snake as a staff snake as a staff and then the snake's

mouth is like a little crystal ball literally with with that, she'd be like, ooh, and then crack her in the head. Half a brick. Half a brick. Exactly. Half a bricky-amos. That's all I'm saying. So Sirius's death is- I'm not saying I'd win.

No, I'm with you. I'm not- But I'm saying they would all leave afterwards and they'd be like- That guy kicked the shit out of us. Boy, a lot of us are dead. Like, we're not coming back from this. Who knew? He had half a brick.

That's all he had. He doesn't think of you tearing through a room with half a brick. People who love Harry Potter hate this. I'm aware. So Sirius's death is strange. And it's stranger in the books.

Okay. Because in the book, I think he gets stunned. Right. And then he falls through the curtain. But at least he gets the killing curse and he falls through. And she has to have a lot of hate in her heart to do it. Does she hate him? Yeah, they're cousins or whatever.

Okay, right, right. That'll do it. Yeah, she hates everyone. Yeah. So he then falls into a weird magical curtain and then disappears entirely. Yes. Apparently that's called, I looked into it at the time when I read the book, because it's kind of hints towards some people can hear what's on the other side.

Apparently it's a passage to the afterlife, but it's one way. So I'm like, so it's kind of hints towards some people can hear what's on the other side. Apparently it's a passage to the afterlife, but it's one way. So I'm like, so it's just death. So it's like dying in any sense. In most circumstances, the path to the afterlife is one way. Yeah.

So wait, so, but you have to die in that specific location. No, you can fall. You walk through it. You die. That happens to you.

But where is this curtain? It's in the center of that room or whatever. That's what I'm saying. You have to go through in that room. Yeah. Okay. So if you die anywhere else in the Harry Potter universe besides that room, the afterlife is a two-way street.

No. You're dead, you're dead. Right. The exception being Harry Potter. Okay, yeah. And maybe others. I don't know. There's probably others.

But the afterlife is real. Okay. because you can bring people back as ghosts when we've seen that and also you can bring people back with that stone have you ever seen the last movies? no I'm behind I won't get into it that's the thing

speaking of at the end of this that's the end of my knowledge of Harry Potter I don't even have vague memories of the last two but my point is of this weird death that he has why the weird veil and he floats off into nothing?

It's got no payoff. I thought, is he going to come back? Is there some kind of... He doesn't by the way, I should point out. Oh, he does as a ghost. In a painting? No. But it's a very weird and ambiguous death for no reason. It and ambiguous death for no reason.

Right. It's very elaborate for no reason. I think they planned to do something else with him. Oh, so did this movie come out before the books were finished? No, it didn't. Because also, again, in the book, he doesn't get the killing curse. Yeah. I think he just gets hit with something, and it might be a stun.

Maybe I looked into it. And then he falls off the- And then he just falls into it. Oh, okay, right. And then he falls off the... And then he just falls into it. Oh, okay, right. And then he disappears and that's the end of him. Huh. Yeah. I don't know what the point of it is.

Lame. Like, why didn't she just blast him and he was dead? Why did he have to go through that? It doesn't make any... Why? I don't know. You see what I'm saying? It's an extra layer of war for nothing.

It doesn't do anything. And he's definitively dead as well. Anyway, whatever. That Dumbledore fight's pretty good. Yeah, well, see, that's the thing. Finally we get a couple of wizards who are like, we should do something else. Do you have to be like the absolute pinnacle of wizarddom

before you can be like, I'll make a fire dragon or whatever? I think so, yeah. Shoot a lightning bolt. Yeah. I've got to pew-pews. It's cool because it's two very, very magic dudes. And it's pew pews it's cool because it's like it's two very very magic dudes yeah and it's like improv as well

it's like there's a fire dragon and there's like a water ball and then there's glass and he turns it to sand and there's a space jump yeah and all of a sudden they're into mechanics

they're gonna get these tyres changed there's some good stuff going on in that fight is what I'm saying yeah it's good but I feel it could I had the same problem with this as I had with the first Doctor Strange which was kind of rectified

in Infinity War where it's like they're shooting black holes at each other and they're turning the black holes into butterflies. Like that's more fun.

Yeah, I agree. Lightnings and I'm 50 guys, which one am I? Oh, you found me. You know? Hit me with that brick. But at least he tried.

Yeah. I mean, they only get, I mean, you give them a few more minutes, you're going to see more minutes You're gonna see more stuff More spectacular stuff

Yeah I think there's some good stuff in that Yeah it's pretty good It's pretty solid Because it feels like a game of It's a game of chess Like you do the fire snake I put you in a water ball

You throw glass at me And I turn into sand It's like Yeah okay This is cool This is cool stuff Pretty cool stuff Yeah

Anyway Sirius is dead And Harry gets his weird house And his weird elf And then people Then everybody sees that Voldemort's back. Yeah, and they're like, oh my God, Harry Potter was right again. I mean, that could have been just Dumbledore doing an illusion.

I saw it for mere seconds. No. They believe it this time. Instantly. Yeah. Good on them. Yeah, he could have been. I think most of my notes have been covered, so we can go on to movie six.

But hang on, let me see. Ah, blood. Prince. Ah, blood. Prince. Look, I've written here, at one point, Hermione refers to some magic. She's like, that's illegal. I'm like, what a nerd.

I've written that. Just come on. Hermione's plan is to lead Umbridge into the woods and hope for the best. Yes. There's a lot of leading people to the woods. And fortunately a group of centaur sharpened brutaliser. Yeah. So that's fun.

No, I think she was going to lead. I think the plan was to always lead her to the giant. Okay, right. The giant plays more in the book. I've written here. I've got a couple of things regarding Umbridge as well. I've written, if I was there, if I was Umbridge, I'd make a proclamation that levitation spells are grounds for expulsion

and place one very high up on a wall. I think that'd be funny. I think I'd get a lot of kids for it. Because, you know, they keep putting all the proclamations, all the deeds, they keep putting them up higher and higher on the wall and then they take the ladder away. I'd be like, you should probably read that. Sucked in.

Expelled. And you're in jail. Yep. I've written here, the Ministry. And you're in jail. Yep. I've written here, the Ministry of Magic is involved in a deliberate misinformation campaign to downplay the danger of Voldemort and they should all be prosecuted. They are. In fact, I would like to see a follow-up movie

which each person is brought in. Yep. They're shown all the previous clips from all the previous movies. Because they can do that with memories. Exactly, where they ignore the dangers and then they get hung. Just a regular gallows, not even a magical gallows cool yeah i'm down with that that sounds great maybe like a minute of them just twitching yeah the gallows and the other people are watching yeah they do have trials after the voldemort thing we saw a bit of it in the last movie uh where they but i think it shouldn't just be people who are sided with voldemort yeah it

should just be people who are ignorant on purpose to what's happening yeah for sure yeah i'm with you and i've got one more note at the end harry potter says uh they were all walking away and he says we've got one thing voldemort doesn't have something worth fighting for and i think he's referring to their noses you might be right i think i'm right and complexion i guess yeah complexion also like a nice hue. Very pale. Yeah. That guy, he's not right, is he? No.

Anyway, he's not in the next movie. Like there's flashes of him, but he's not in it. I mean, you would assume that at some point he's going to show up because they introduce a new character. And you see little boy Voldemort. Yeah, they introduce a new professor. Yeah. And my assumption going into all of these is, well, that's Voldemort again.

What's the new guy? He's probably a villain. He's on the back of his head or on his tongue or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right? Uh-huh. Yeah. Yeah.

No, Snape was the villain this time. Or was he? So I like at the start, Harry's just like, I just want to be kissing girls. And I'm going to be, I'm reading this weird newspaper. What I liked about the opening sequence, it starts with Harry and Dumbledore, like they're being papped by the paparazzi. Dumbledore, you didn't have another way to go in? Again, magic. You could have avoided

all this with a potentially infinite number of spells. Where was he for all of that? He's letting kids just run amok. Guy's a bad dude. They're all bad people. It's weird though that the idea behind getting Slughorn back at the school to teach is because

he knows that Harry can get close to him to get a memory out of him. The weird thing is he's raising Harry to be slaughtered. He knows that. Snape knows that. Yeah. Some other people, I presume, know it. Yeah. Well, a lot of people know it by the end.

And he's like, I'll get, this guy doesn't want to give me his memory. I'll get Harry to coax it out of him. You're the most powerful wizard. Just fucking, just grab him and go, I will murder you if you don't want to give me his memory. I'll get Harry to coax it out of him. You're the most powerful wizard. Just fucking, just grab him and go, I will murder you if you don't tell me. Just pin him down. Exactly. Pin him down. You know what I can do, right?

Threaten to shave his head or straighten his hair. I'll put a wall. One of the greatest magical threats you can do. That's right. He's got a big mustache in the book. And I'm like, come on. He's got a big walrus mustache. I think he does anyway.

Okay. Yeah. Anyway. And with half a brick. He goes down like a sack of potatoes. The only thing that dude can do is like turn into a chair. Right. He think he does anyway. Yeah. And with half a brick. He goes down like a sack of potatoes. The only thing that dude can do is like turn into a chair. There's too much else. So this one, look, this one.

And potions, I guess. Look, this, oh, my notes are longer in this movie than the first movie. Oh, no. But look, if we can jump ahead to that, but then I'll jump back to the start again. Sure. This movie is like, well, you can get memories and you can just, you want to see somebody's memories. They're in a vial. You put your head in the thing and you can see the memories. Sure. This movie is like, well, you can get memories and you can just, you want to see somebody's memories. They're in a vial.

You put your head in the thing and you can see the memories. Sure. Do that all the time. Yeah. Do that in all the previous movies when Harry's like, I remember Voldemort was here. Cool. Pull the memories out of his nose and then stick them in the pool and stick his head in it.

No. What do you think of that? Because of the plot? Yeah. Because of the plot. Look, I had some notes about the start. Sure. This opens with Harry Potter reading one of his snarky,

magical newspapers in the real world. Yeah, why? But this waitress is very impressed by him. She's like, oh, I'm getting off at 11. Why don't we hang out? But it would be like being impressed by him reading like a Dungeons and Dragons magazine. Yeah, that's true.

What is this? What's going on? I don't know. I mean, he's Harry Potter. She doesn't know that, though, does she? No, that's true. She just thinks he's cute. She likes that Harry.

She likes the sound of that Harry Potter, though. You'd know she does. I've written here, and this is my proudest moment. It's all downhill from here. I've written the Dumbledore identity because there's a moment where The train comes past. Yeah. There's nobody there.

And then the train comes past. Well done. And then Dumbledore's there. And I'm like, yep, that's good stuff. That's very good. Someone should make that into a yep, that's good stuff. That's very good. Someone should make that into a clip. Oh, my God. That's great.

You should. Yeah, I'll do it. I've got a lot of time on my hands. I have no more extra time on my hands. Okay, very good. So do you know the Tom Riddle flashback where he's a little boy and Dumbledore goes to see him and he's like, this kid's fucking insane. Yep.

Don't accept him at that point, obviously. Yeah. But he's actually Ralph Fiennes' nephew, that kid. And here's his real name. Hero Beauregard Faulkner Fiennes Tiffin. That's his name. Unbelievable. And he's got like 2 million followers on Instagram. Is it H-I-R-O?

Do you think it's that or do you think it's the other way? I think it's the regular way. It is, you're right. He's got 2 million followers on Instagram. What's his deal? Is he on TikTok? Is he a model or something? It would be the other one? I think it's the regular one. It is, you're right. He's got two million followers on Instagram. What's his deal? Is he on TikTok? It's like a model or something. It would be a model.

I've written here regarding Tom Riddle. Yep. When he first appears in that flashback sequence, I've written, Tom Riddle, colon, you just kill this kid. And then I added later, you wouldn't give him a machine gun, which is essentially what they've done. Yeah. They're like, you know what?

This guy who's, and also there's numerous references in this. Dumbledore mentions it and Slughorn mentions it later. They're like, did I have any knowledge that this guy would be a dangerous wizard? Not at all. Why not? Look at him. Look at him. Hear how he speaks.

Acknowledge his prior actions before you met him. This kid's a monster. Hit him in the head with half a brick. He'll never see it coming. Well, he's from the real world. He's like, I just love talking to snakes and setting fire to things. Yeah. Because you're a psychopath.

It's all the classic elements of it. It's all the classic clues of a psychopath. And you're like, no, well, you know what? I'll show him how to do killing curses and shit lasers out of his eyes or whatever. To be fair, and you see a little bit of it in this, but it's more in the book. He also wisens up to people being aware of what he is. Psychopaths do that. Exactly.

And he's very charming. And the only teacher in the school who doesn't really cotton up, the only teacher who cottons on is Dumbledore because he met him first. And he's like, Dumbledore never really trusted me, but he suckered literally everybody else in the school. Yeah, right. But yeah, he's a psychopath. Yeah.

You're absolutely right. Yeah. So a big plot point of this book is that Draco has to fix a big cupboard. So it's a cupboard and you put something in it or yourself in it, bundle yourself in the cupboard and then you disappear for a bit or you go somewhere else? No, no, you go to it. There's another one you can.

Oh, it's two cupboards. Yeah, two cupboards. Matching cupboards. Double cupboards. Oh, dub cubs. Dub cubs. Yeah. Yeah.

And you know, he's not really good at killing double dubs. I would have called this movie Harry Potter and the Dub Cubs of Hogwarts. Yes. So Draco should be in jail for poisoning people and cursing objects or hit him with a brick, whatever. Hit him with a brick. That's fine. I've just written a note here, and I don't know what it's in relation to.

Oh, let's puzzle it out. This could be anything. This could be a clue like in Harry Potter's potions book, full of clues. I've just written, Ron is so stupid. Oh, okay. Right. Is that not a carryover from all the other movies?

It might have been the bit where he sits between Harry and his sister or something. Oh, okay. Right. Yeah, yeah. Or, I don't know, it might be the reference to he doesn't realize that Hermione's also in love with him. I think that, I think, I think the- I think Hermione knows that he loves her.

Yeah, right. But he doesn't know the other way. I think the him stepping between Harry and his sister- Even though people tell him. I think that was deliberate. Yeah? Because he spends the whole movie going, oh, these people are after my... I don't think he does.

Really? Because he's kind of quite jovial about it. Right. I think he's stupid. I've also written here, everyone in Ron's family is better than Ron. Let me see if I have any Weasley-related notes. I bet I do.

I bet I do. I've written here, Mr. Weasley's man cave is terrifying. Because it's just, at one point they go in, I think it's his garage or like a whatever, and it's just filled with like broken fax machines. Yeah, he's obsessed with like muggle stuff. Yeah, but they're all dirty and covered in. Yeah, he sucks. Yeah, he sucks. He's a weird hoard machines. Yeah, he's obsessed with like muggle stuff. Yeah, but they're all dirty and covered in... Yeah, he sucks.

Yeah, he sucks. He's a weird hoarder. Yeah. His house is so fucking crooked. It's weird. I've written here also the destruction of the Weasley's house

because, you know, he gets blown up and he gets set on fire. Sure. The destruction of the Weasley's house would be sadder if Dumbledore

hadn't totally repaired a house with magic right at the start of the movie. He did do that, didn't he? He's just like, well, we better fix this. Whippity-dippity-doppity. Whippity-doppity-doo.

And then the house is fine again. Like, I know the Weasley's house is more seriously damaged. Yeah. He ate people who do that. Yeah, but exactly. Like, Dumbledore's just like, boop-ba-dee-boop-ba-doo. And then the house is fine.

So surely he could do that for five more minutes and he'd fix the house. Maybe the difference is that that was intentionally magically destroyed. But the other that that was intentionally magically destroyed. But the other one was also intentionally magically destroyed. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah. What do you think of the Harry and Ginny relationship?

I think it's good. Pretty good, yeah. Solid, yeah. They get married. And she's there to like, when Harry's like, hey, everybody, maybe we should, hey, let's hang out. She's like, everybody shut up. Yeah.

We didn't even talk about the Order of the Phoenix in the last. Oh, yeah. It's just a bunch of kids or whatever. Yeah. Doesn't matter. Doesn't really, does it? Harry's like, the more important thing than learning spells is believing in yourself. No.

I think in this instance, Harry, it's the spells. Oh, I forgot to mention also that previous movie is the beginning of the Neville Longbottom glow up, who was the absolute champion of these movies. Cause he starts with like not really any friends and everyone hates him. And by the end he's fucking beheading snakes and doing backflips and shit. He's super handsome. Yeah. Yeah.

Cool. He's great. Yeah. Oh, look, I'm just going to, I'm just going to jump to, this is sort of,

this is towards the start. I've written because the, the house that Dumbledore fixes, it's where Slughorn was hanging out, I guess. And I've written here, Dumbledore using the bathroom must be more awkward than someone wearing a jumpsuit going to the bathroom. I'm thinking he's got big briefs on him.

I don't know what he's got going on there. It's weird because also in the prequels, he's wearing like a three-piece suit. He's got like a fob watch and a vest. Well, I guess this is just more freeing. I mean, we see that in... Fuck out of here with that. He just grows his hair out.

He's a grub. Yeah, we see that in the flashbacks as well. He's just wearing a suit. But yeah, maybe he's... But that's the thing. Also, he's like... And also, later lore doesn't lay down JK Rowling lore established that

bathrooms are magic in the Harry Potter universe. No, you used to be able to piss on the floor. They changed that by the time these movies roll around. Oh, good. You'd piss on the floor and you'd magic them away. Uh-huh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You okay with that?

Here's one element that I did like. At one point, Snape says, I've played my part well, so well I've deceived one of the greatest wizards of all time. And you're meant to think it's Dumbledore. Yeah. But it's not Dumbledore. Who is it? It's Harry. It's Harry. No, you know, like- It's Longbottom. You know what it's not Dumbledore. Who is it? It's Harry. It's Harry.

No, you know, like long bottom. You know what the difference between Dumbledore and Snape is? What's that? The nose? Yeah. That's the beard. Mostly nose, beard, hair. The big briefs.

Big briefs. They're both wearing big dresses. Yeah. Yeah. So that's not that different. Just do something about your look, Snape. What's your game? Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Fucking weirdo. Snape has always been straight up with Harry, except for the deception, but he has Harry's best interests at heart for the most part.

And Dumbledore is the opposite of that. Dumbledore is only keeping him alive for him to be killed. I've just written here, Dumbledore sucks. Do I have a Dumbledore note let's see uh nope uh but there's also more ambiguity in the books about how dumbledore does suck right it's like he's not really any good and he's got a weird a weird past and yeah he might

have killed his sister by accident they don't really know and he was maybe a racist at one point gee gee whiz yeah he was good lord he was maybe a racist at one point gee gee yeah he was good lord he was kissing wizard hitler you know yeah there's all those things i've written here just in all caps i've just written dean thomas who i think is one of the love interests who gets in the way of like harry or yeah hermione whatever or something there's two there's dean thomas yep oh dean thomas is the one who's kissing Ginny Weasley. But there's also Cormac, the other guy. Yeah, Cormac McLagan.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cormac McLagan. I've got some Cormac McLagan notes because he's like the... He's better than Ron? He's better than Ron. His arc is he's better than Ron. And he is. And maybe he's like a love interest foil for Hermione,

except Hermione's not interested in him at all. I've written Cormac killed the one fly in the Harry Potter universe. He did. I think he does. Because you never see another one until it's convenient for him to pluck a fly out of the air. That's a really good point. What they should have done is they should have started this movie,

just oceans of flies everywhere just you can't you can't enter a room without like flies buzzing in your face then they should have like fixed all the previous movies so it's just like but in this movie one fly and he's just like yep got it don't like that yeah should have eaten it uh i've written here um what's his name cormac yeah cormac gets a month's detention from Snape because he vomits on Snape's shoes. Yep. But I mean, in the Harry Potter universe,

in the wizarding world, surely there's no consequence for vomiting on somebody's shoes. I'd imagine there's always... Because you go... And you wave your wand and all the vomit goes away. Yeah, and you get better. But I guess maybe if you fix a house by doing a vippity-voppity, it all goes back.

Maybe if you go a vippity-voppity, all the vomit goes back and it goes in reverse back. Well, Snape would have done that though, wouldn't he? Yeah, that's right. Vippity-voppity, vomity-swallow-y. Yeah, right? Yeah. What I've never really realised about these Horcruxes,

the one that's in this movie, which isn't actually technically, which isn't there, it's like a false locket or whatever. Right. It's the worst one to grab. It's the only one that's properly guarded. Yes. Because the other one, one is a book, which Lucius Malfoy has, and one is a locket, which shows up later. One is, spoiler alert, Harry Potter, which you may have known.

I'm aware of that. One is a snake. It's like this is the one that you – maybe put the other ones behind some shit. Yeah, right. It'll be surrounded by zombies and fire and poison and whatever. The other ones are just like – it's just a book. Yeah, right.

Just left it on a shelf. Yeah. It's on a shelf. I think that was the first one he did. Like he did that one when he was a teenager. So that's why. I've written here. Wherever.

Oh, Slughorn didn't say anything weird about Tom Riddle either. What information did Tom Riddle get out of Slughorn that he couldn't read in a book? Because that's the secret. The whole secret of this movie is what's in Slughorn. Slughorn won't tell us, and he's fiddled with that memory, so we don't know what the memory is. And the whole thing is Tom Riddle goes to Slughorn in the past, in the flashback, and he goes, what's a Horcrux?

I read this in the book. And Slughorn goes, well, it's very evil magic. And then Tom Riddle's like, well, I'd best be going then. Like, if you can figure out what it is, you don't need Slughorn. No, you really don't. He knew going into that as well. Yeah. You just need the plot.

You're right. Good times though. I like this movie. I like it too. Yeah. Were you affected by Dumbledore's death? Were you like, I like this guy? Or were you like, I wonder if he was gay i guess we'll never

know i was like this is a real blow for representation in this movie retroactively once we find out he's gay yeah yeah that's what i thought yeah uh so what do you think is going on with like snape and malfoy and dumbledore and all that what do you think that is i mean you might you've probably heard some stuff i mean i've got an inkling i don't know what their their i don't know what their deal is yeah but i'm pretty sure snape is working for the good guys despite the fact that he just murdered a man sure do you want me to i won't spoil it i guess i mean i get i get the idea like i don't know who i don't know what his what about him actually killing dumbledore what do you think about that like he actually kills him yeah no yeah but like do you think killing Dumbledore? What do you think about that? Like, he actually kills him. Yeah, I know.

Yeah. But, like, do you think that's... What do you make of that? Oh. Mm. Ah. Because what if he had, like, another 50 years and he just killed this dude? That's a good point.

That's murder. Yeah. Well, yeah, it's murder. There's a reason for it, though, which you find out. Because murder's fun? Yeah. Yeah, that's essentially it. Yeah, that's real cool.

Yeah. Yeah. But, yeah. I don't know. What about Twist? snape was the half-blood prince uh look it wasn't that much of a twist for me because i wasn't really sure to me all all options were on the table just regarding who the half-blood like it was sly con you'd be like okay yeah i guess so dumbledore yeah i mean it was voldemort i mean they all know a bit of magic, I guess. Yeah. Yeah, and that's cool, I guess. It's a big spider, a big dead spider in this, isn't it?

It sure is. Is that the big spider from previous movies? Yeah, the other one. Okay, cool. Right, right, right. The one that they thought, the one that Hagrid should have been in jail for. Look, I'm just going to go through some notes if you want to.

I'm ready because I've said everything I want to say. Okay, well, if you want to jump in on these, I've written it's only 23 minutes into the movie until everyone stops believing Harry again. So after literally everybody saw Voldemort appear in the previous movie and they're like, that's Voldemort. I guess Harry Potter was right. 23 minutes, they're on the train.

They're all Harry and Hermione and Ron are on the train and Harry's like, I reckon Draco has something to do with these Death Eaters or something. And everybody's like, Harry, you're crazy. I saw him talking to Death Eaters. Yeah. Harry, you're crazy. I've written here,

what do you do if you don't get into Hogwarts? Like if you're a wizard. Home-schooled, I guess. Is that how it works? There's other options. I don't know where they are, but yeah. Because I think Draco at one point is like, oh, this lousy school, I hate it.

I guess he could get private schooled. I think you can leave at a certain age. But this is the best school, allegedly. It's a school. It's a school, certainly, isn't it? Yeah. Do you think there's maybe another film franchise in, this is the better school?

I think it's just straight up in this universe. Yep. They mostly just catch everybody who's magic and put them in this school. That's the idea. So they go to you and you're a muggle parent. And they're like, your kid's magic. You can't be like, no.

Can I have a tour? No, you can't. So they've got a better street team. No, I'm not going to send... You've got a better street team, is all I'm saying. Yeah, yeah. Okay, right. Would you send your kid to this school?

If they're not magic? No, if they are magic. Look, I would probably say, hey, can you leave me a leaflet? Yeah. I'd want a tour. A brochure. You don't want to see the school? Right?

Yeah. And it's boarding school too. It's no good. You don't see it for like six months. Right? Yeah. They could die. They'll probably die.

Yeah. Right? I've written here, the invisibility cloak can be defeated by a pair of novelty glasses you get free from a magazine so the the invisibility cloak the uh the the game-breaking element from several of the previous movies that i recall uh you just you just put on some glasses some x-ray specs luna lovegood puts it and look i like luna lovegood i know it's good it's a good performance but in in fairness she doesn't see him. She sees some, like, magical stuff around him. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

An aura, I guess. An aura of fleas or something like that. But surely everybody has those on them. Yeah, probably. So Harry gets knocked out by Draco, who kicks him right in the face. Cool. And then she's just like, oh, yeah, these free novelty glasses. Yeah, magic.

I mean, George and Jerry, whatever. George and Jerry Weasley. Salmon poison. Yeah. Yeah. Everything's magic or could be magic. Yeah.

Yeah. You can enchant anything. I have some slughorn. I have some slughorn notes. Cool. Slughorn asks his students to make a potion of living death. In order to win, he makes, he makes his own potion. He makes a luck potion.

Yep. And in order to, if you're a student, you can win it. And in order to do that, you have to be the first to make a potion of living death. And I thought about this. I'm like, well, maybe it's a metaphor. But then he says, of Harry Potter's living death potion that he makes, one drop would kill us all.

So he's just leaving these kids unattended. It's weird because they're like 15 of them. Some magic is forbidden. Not this one. Not this one. It's a potion that you... What if a kid scooped it up and left? And also, let's say you make it badly.

Does it become less effective or more effective? Or a bomb. It could be a bomb. You make it and then it's bloated and everybody in the room dies. What's Slughorn going to do? He'd be dead. He'd be dead. I've written here, this is a two-part note. I've written

love a good tweed from Slughorn. He's got a nice plaid tweed three-piece suit. Looks really nice. Got a bow tie on it. And then follow up, is he a pedophile? Yes. Because it's all a bit vague. It is, yeah. Because he talks about a bit vague It is yeah Because he talks about Like collecting children

It's a very heavy vibe But he isn't And I think there's a note There's like an acting note I think he is Yeah there's See there's an acting note What's that guy's name

Jim something Jim Broadbent Yeah Jim Broadbent There's an acting note Whenever all the kids He invites all the children Yes To his house for dinner

And dessert And they all leave Except for Harry. And then when Slughorn turns around, he's like, oh, Harry. Like, he's surprised. He isn't like, ooh, Harry, mm, look at my lips, right? So I think maybe he's not meant to be. No.

It's very heavily weighted that he seems to be. Yeah, it's weird. I mean, there's a reason why he wasn't working there anymore. Yeah. Because he's a pedophile. Yeah, that's almost certainly, yeah. Yeah. Also, hero Ray Fiennes, whatever, is an actor.

He's still an actor, just to clarify. He's in things that I don't know. Oh, okay, right, right, right. Probably also an Instagram model. Some potions notes. We mentioned this earlier. Love potions in school is the worst idea that's ever happened. I agree.

Why would you even suggest to children that you can do that? Because the wheezes are out of control yeah yeah uh i've written i've got some i've got some luck potion notes okay i've written ron gets on the roids but not really because obviously he thinks he thinks he's been taken yeah he thinks he thinks he's been it's a placebo it's a placebo yeah that then helps him become placido domingo it'sacido Domingo that helps him become more confidento. Yes. But then I've written later, the luck potion is just cocaine. Because that's what happens with this, is that Harry takes it. No, I mean, you do go to the places that you're supposed to be.

Yeah. But, yeah, you have the confidence of cocaine, though. Well, that's the thing. He takes it, and then immediately he's leaving the room, and some people are coming in.'s like hey hello and then he's just around people like hey what are you doing that's great yeah you guys are so good slick with tom cruise yeah let's start a podcast you know an insane thing to do it's just okay it's just okay it's definitely cocaine in it i think you could make that without feeling like that. Yeah.

We have two notes. They're not the most thrilling of notes, but I figured. You opened strong, so what do you expect? Let's see. Oh, no, I've got a couple more. Okay. There's a butterbeer mustache joke, which is very funny. Hermione drinks a butterbeer.

And then Ron's like, look at you, Hermione. She's got a butterbeer mustache and she's like, ooh. And then the scene ends. It's incredible. I know. It's, Hermione. She's got a butterbeard mustache and she's like, ooh. And then the scene ends. It's incredible. I know. It's a good joke. It's great. I've written here, did Hermione kill a bunch of birds?

At the bit where she threw the birds at the wall? She throws the birds at Ron. I think she magicked them. Ron's getting busy with another lady and she gets mad. She created them. She has the right to destroy them. Okay, right. Well, it's good to know she has that power and her command.

And look, my final note, and I think it's good to know she has that power and her command and look my final note and I think it's very important is Harry nearsighted or farsighted what's with the glasses because he wears them all the time

so you would assume he's nearsighted yeah so he needs them for distance yeah right but in this movie

he's reading a book he's bad and he's still got the glasses on yes I think he's one of those people who always wears them. I don't like it. You don't like it? You'd take them off if you were nearsighted.

He never takes them off. Otherwise, people don't recognize him. People don't know who the lead character is. I guess that's probably true. They think it's Neville. People would leave. People would leave midway through the movie. That's right.

So all in all, though, did you enjoy these movies? Yeah, kind of. They're very much the in-between. Oh, I see. The real action. I think the best one, I've done these movies? Yeah, kind of. They're very much the in-between. Oh, I see. The real action. I think the best one, I've done a video on it, is the next one. Oh, is it? Okay.

Cool, I'm excited. Spoiler alert, it's not set in the school. Oh. Yeah. Well, they say at the end of this movie. So there's no magic. No, there's plenty of magic. They're not legally allowed to use magic outside the school.

It's mostly set in a tent in the woods. Great. I'm not even kidding. Wow. And it's a magically sized tent that's much bigger on the inside than the outside? Yes, we've seen it in previous movies. Oh, for real? Yes, it is.

Wow. I think it's great. I think it's the best one. Wow. And the last one's like your end game. Everyone's in it and it's a big battle and whatever, which I like too. But we'll get to that in two years when we're both 44.

All the house elves form up at one point in the final battle sequence and everybody on the internet's like, what are the odds they'd all show up at the same time in that particular part of the battlefield? I mean, the odds are pretty, I mean, it's pretty unlikely, isn't it? Yeah, it's a good point actually. Yeah. I used to like that movie and now I don't.

Someone should recut it. All in all, Harry Potter, am I right? Yeah, you're not wrong. You know what it's time for? Oh, what's it time for? More Harry Potter! No, what are we reading? Oh, we're going to read.

That's a good segment that we have. I like it. It's one of my faves. Yeah. I'm doing a thing. What have we been reading today? What have you been reading today? I've been reading a bunch of stuff.

Obviously Harry Potter stuff. Harry Potter stuff. I got that out of the way. But I've had a bit of time to myself because I'm on leave, which is nice. Terrifico. A couple of things. I finally watched Charlie's Angels. New Charlie's Angels.

It's fine. Ah, wow. It's not bad. I mean, there's some good, there's some funny jokes in it. Okay. There's a, it's pretty bare bones. Like it's kind of like a, it's a pretty,

did it deserve to like disappear out of existence or be one of the four movies that were released this year? I think it deserved to be like do okay. Okay. I think, but it doesn't, it doesn't stand out to me in the sense of, Oh my God, can you believe that action sequence?

Like there's no, the action sequences are okay. And it's kind of, you know, somebody's hijacked an EMP. Should I watch it? You don't have to watch it. Then I won't. I think the actors involved are pretty good. I like the cast.

Kristen Stewart's got a funny throwaway line. Kristen Stewart's actually very good in this. Not that she wouldn't be. I like her in most things. Yeah, she's good. I want to see Underwater. Apparently that's coming to stay. Yeah, that's apparently pretty good.

She's got a fun throwaway line. Is it a Twilight reference? No, it's a funny throwaway line about how she used to be married and somebody's like, oh, no, it's a funny throwaway line about like some drama that happened at a wedding and the other angels are like, I didn't know you were married. She's like, yeah, I'm not. I was the better shot.

And the joke is that she shot her husband or a wife or whatever. I don't know. It's a pretty funny joke. Terrific. Yeah. Okay. So do you think it could have been funnier, though? Yeah, it could have been.

It could have been. Because Elizabeth Banks has, you know. Yeah, she's good in it as well. She's good in it as well. I mean, you know, it was five bucks or something to rent it. So, you know, it's probably worth $5 if you're... Hard up for... Hard up for entertainment. But why would you be at this point?

Everybody's churning through their Netflix queues. Speaking of, did you watch Tiger King? I haven't watched it yet. Okay, right. Should I watch it? Yes. I mean, everybody's like, watch it all the time. I mean, you may or may not be let down.

Well, Chris Smith said, I was going to say this later, let's do it now. It says, hashtag weekly planet pod, best movie lockdown. Oh, if we're locked down, what do we watch? Or what does he mean, the movie Lockdown

with Guy Pearce, which is Die Hard in Space where he's saving the president's daughter. Oh. It's from like 2012. It's not very good. I was really excited for it.

I'm like- What's the president's daughter doing in space? I don't fucking know. She's in a space prison. Or is she on Earth and he's in space? No, they're both in space.

He's just sending some emails. They're both in space. Oh, cool. That's nice. Yeah. So what do you earth and he's in space? No, they're both in space. He's just sending some emails. They're both in space. Oh, cool. That's nice. Yeah. So what do you think, though? Of Tiger King? Yeah, so would you watch this on lockdown, Tiger King?

I think it's one of those shows that I probably wouldn't have watched or I wouldn't have – I maybe would have watched – people would have recommended to me I would have watched one episode and been like, I'm not overly compelled, and so I'll just give it up. But given that we're not leaving the house, there's not any movies at the movies, I'm like, I'll watch a couple more and it builds. If you watch the first one and you don't really like it,

layers keep unfolding about this. So if you haven't heard about it, it's about a guy named Joe Exotic. He's not his real name. Louis Theroux did an interview with him some years ago. uh it's about a guy named joe exotic he's not not his real name uh louis through did a doc interview with him some years ago sure but it's about a guy and he has he owns a he runs and owns like a big cat reserve yes in like middle america and he's insane or everybody else is insane everybody's insane in this nobody's sane and nobody's you might be like what happens is usually a character's introduced and you go

i might root for this character because they seem better than the previous character and then in very short order you realize they are not better than the previous character they're worse and then another character shows up and you're like maybe and then after a while you're like oh man i've been burned before yeah yeah yeah so it's there's a lot of stuff i don't know how much you know and also since then because it's been something's a lot of stuff. I don't know how much, you know, and also since then, because it's been something of a hit, you know, the people who were interviewed and,

and were part of it, have all come out and said, well, I've, you know, this, that's, I wasn't portrayed accurately or what have you.

So there's, there's a lot of drama, but it's, it's, but they're all keeping tigers. Yeah. I reckon about, yeah.

I reckon about two episodes in, you'll be like, this is very compelling and insane. Great. I will watch it. Yeah. I was planning on, well, I read up Batman universe by Brian Brian Michael Bendis and Nick Darrington.

It just wrapped up. It was like a Walmart book, I think. A Walmart book? Yeah, it was exclusively. So it's like. How did you get it? We don't have any Walmarts here. Digitally, obviously.

Digital comics. Oh, you went to digital Walmart. Digital Walmart, yes. I went on a virtual tour of the store. I scanned those shelves. Yeah, I was, well, actually, because I read the first issue like way, like last year, so I'm saying way back, like November,

but Sal from Comic Pop was putting up some recommendations on his Twitter and I saw it and I'm like, oh, I should finish that. So it starts as like a Batman detective story about him getting a Fabergé egg and then it just fucking spirals and it keeps getting weirder and weirder. And he keeps teaming up with characters you wouldn't expect.

It's just fucking awesome. Sounds like the Tiger King of comic books. Yeah, you should watch it. Watch it. You should watch Tiger King. When you're done with that, which you are, read Batman Universe. It's also fun. It's like a fun Batman story.

Yeah, it's great. There you go. I read some comics as well this week. I read, I caught up on the Dynamite comics James Bond comics oh yeah I gave up on those

a while ago I read a few back in the day and it's been sort of different creative teams they usually do like six issues each and then sort of move on yeah

it's good it's like a it's a sort of modern day book James Bond someone's got robot hands Felix Leiter has a robot hand yeah

doesn't some villains have robot hands in one of those some people have robot hands yeah cool yeah yeah. Doesn't some villains have robot hands in one of those? Some people have robot hands, yeah. Cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've read some of that. It's sort of like it's not as flashy, you know, spectacular as the movies.

It's espionage. It's more kind of like your hard-boiled espionage. It's more kind of grounded in reality. Like a hard-boiled egg. Yeah, but they're still like, you know, sort of larger-than-life villains and what have you. It's a prequel series, isn't there? Like in the war or something as well?

Yeah, it might be, yeah. And there's like a Moneypenny spin-off and an M spin-off. Yeah, right. And it's obviously not really... It's a lighter spin-off, obviously. It's not really connected to the movies, is it? Not at all, no. But he's known, like he's a secret agent.

Or like he doesn't... He doesn't start now, like introducing James Bond. No, it's just like, it's basically like, hey, you know the character from the books. It's that version. Terrifico. It is Terrifico. Terrifico enough for you to play the next theme song?

No, because I have another recommendation. I would like to, it's not a recommendation, but I did watch the first episode of it and I just wanted to know what people think of it if you've watched the whole thing. Amazon Prime has a series called Tales from the Loop. It's come out, and it's a series that is based on artwork. I think maybe I've mentioned this to you off air,

but there's this artist called Simon Stalenhag, and he started his career doing sort of like naturalistic paintings of, you know, rivers and streams and mountains and stuff. Oh, this looks cool. Yeah, but basically then he was introduced to Ralph McQuarrie's Star Wars art and then he started integrating just weird stuff into, it'd be like, you'll see a picture of his

and it's like two kids in a stream, like they're fishing, but there's also like this giant, like power loader robot behind it. Yes. And it's sort of, and he's released a couple of books and there's not really a story behind it, but it's just sort of you make your own story. Yeah. And the idea is basically, because he's Swedish,

that there's a sometime maybe in the seventies, these Swedish scientists started up a reactor called The Loop. Yeah. And just weird stuff started happening. Right, okay. And it's just life now in Sweden where just you live with weird stuff happening. Did you like the first episode? I found it kind of boring.

Okay. The reviews aren't great. Yeah. But it's 68% Rotten Tomatoes, so yeah. It's very slow. Okay. And yeah. Apparently Devs is Tomatoes. It's very slow. Okay. And yeah. Apparently Devs is really good.

I've heard that. It's got Nick Offerman in it. Yeah, it's the dude who wrote Sunshine, your favourite movie. Oh, yeah. So I really want to watch that. I should watch that too. Yeah, that's out here now, I think. It's on Foxtel,

so you're going to have to use a VPN. No, but you can get it on Google Play. Can you? It's $18 for the series. Yes. I was going to say, I will never go to Foxtel. No, me neither.

I'll die in a ditch. I'll pay any price. Unless they give us a lot of money. Yeah, yeah. We love them. But yeah, so it's kind of like the idea is interesting.

I don't really know anything about devs. Oh, yeah. I'm talking about Tales of the Loop. Oh, good, good. It's kind of like the idea is interesting, but it's very kind of, I think it's an anthology series.

So it's like this week, it's about a mother and her daughter. And this week it's about a couple and. Oh, a couple of what? Yeah. Yeah. And it looks kind of cool. And there's kind of, you know, how, you know, a house is being slowly pulled up into the air through some sort of weird

gravity rift or whatever. And there's robots and stuff, but it's kind of, I kind of just prefer the books like they're cause they, they're cool. You make up your own. You make up your own. You make up your own story, and there's a role-playing game. Oh, cool. Okay, which we should play on this podcast. If you watch the whole thing, let me know if you think it's good.

I will. I feel like if somebody watched the whole thing, they're going to tell you to watch the whole thing. That's probably true. Also, I mentioned if you started it and then stopped. Oh, yeah, for sure. Let me know how far you got into it. I will.

None for me so far, just so you know. Brutal. Cool. Letters? Yes! Letters! The classic one was, Letters, oh letters, we love you.

Give them a bit. Letters, they're only a take away. They're here right now, we're going to do letters. If you do want to reach the show, hashtag Weekly Planet Pod on Twitter. I threw it out there on Twitter. I've been reading some tweets already on this show. Incredible.

But this is from Yo Richie. Yo Richie. Also, weeklyplanetpod at gmail.com. Hashtag weeklyplanetpod. Richie says, how many weeks of quarantine until Wikipedia Brown has to finally watch Sin City 2? The people need to know. Yeah. Go on.

You're never going to watch it. I don't think I will. No. You're never going to watch it. I don't think I will. No. You're never going to watch it. No, again, there's too many series. I've got to finish Tales from the Loop, a series I won't finish. That's right. I've got to go through this probably.

I've got to finish Castlevania. I didn't finish Castlevania. I think you have to finish everything before you come back to that, right? Yeah, I think so, yeah. And that's never going to happen. No, literally never. You're going to destroy it, and then eventually you'll have it, like your iPad will have 4% battery and you're like,

this is the only thing I haven't watched. No, I'll get one of those hand cranked chargers and I'll just get it going and I'll watch 30 seconds at a time. Yeah. Charge, charge, charge, charge. Be like, oh man, I wish podcasts were still around so I could talk about this. Right.

Great movie. What have you got in terms of letters though? This is from August Numbat, who I selected because of the great name. Of course. Numbat being an Australian animal of some sort. Or if you're like, you fucking Numbat. It's also an insult. Yeah.

He says, G'day, fellas. Thanks for the great content. G'day. I would listen to you on my morning commute walk to work when I was living in London. And now that I've moved back to Australia this year and living in Melbourne, I still include you guys as I drive to work. Although due to coronavirus, I'm now walking to work again as I move from the kitchen to the desk in the spare bedroom. I'm curious, inspired by Tallahassee and Zombieland,

what food would you search for in a post-apocalyptic world? Red Rooster. You think so? Yeah, I'd go to Red Rooster and I'd try and make a flavour combo. Oh, you'd make your own? Yeah, well, they're not going to have it ready, are they? No, they're not. No, no, no.

What would you go for? That's a good question. The thing is you can't go for something like that. You can't be like, I love this sandwich. I'm going to find it. No, that's true. Because you're not going to find it. You're not going to find it.

And Twinkies are interesting. Because they don't really last that long. Well, that's true. They don't. Have you ever had a Twinkie? They're not great. They're awful. Yeah.

When I was a kid kid because hostess used to advertise like all their products in comic books yeah i was always like oh twinkies what are these what are twinkies these are incredible and then they came to australia and fake and weird they're awful i hated them i'm like you could go to like a like a like a corner bakery and get something yeah 10 times as good i think if you took away the preservative side of like like that's that fake cream that I really don't, I can't do. That's the point of it. You can't, like you need to refrigerate that. I always thought I wanted a chocolate eclair until I had one.

I love chocolate eclairs. Oh, yeah. And then I'm like, these are fucking beautiful. That's what I'm talking about. You want a real cream chocolate eclair. Yeah, they're good if they're, yeah. I guess I'd look for a real cream chocolate eclair then. Sure.

And it would be awful. There would be none. Yeah. I don't know. What would I, bloody hell, what's my thing? my thing i like fruit that's not very exciting is it right well the last fruit tree in on earth maybe yeah but then it yeah nah it'd have to be it's got to be something like a what what's what's like a what's the thing that you would like a snack that you would go i really like uh leans to a thin chocolate oh yeah that's like a like a raspberry

dark chocolate which i really like i'd like you know chocolate. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's like a raspberry dark chocolate, which I really like. I'd like, you know what, a Kinder Bueno. A Kinder Bueno white. Kinder Bueno? Yeah, Bueno. Okay. It's like a bar. I'm not a huge white chocolate fan.

You will be once you have a Kinder Bueno. I'll be on board. Has it got like a waffle in it or anything like that? It's got crispies. Okay. And it's got white chocolate. Okay. And it's got like a creamy inside.

I hate lint chocolate. Do they taste anything like that? They taste nothing like that. Because when I was a teacher, that was like- That was the gift you got. That was the gift. I'm like, I fucking hate lint. And then every year I'd get 30 lint chocolates.

I'd have to re-gift or build or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. Because I never taught- You don't want to tell the kids that I hate lint chocolate because then the one kid brings them And then every other kid's like You know he said he hated lit chocolate

And so he hates you Yeah Yeah So you just roll with it Yeah You're not really a drinker So I wouldn't go for like wine Or anything like that either

I wouldn't be like There's this whiskey that I want I don't know Fresh water would be nice wouldn't it I guess At the end of the world Wow nerd Well it's important isn't it

Yeah Yeah Yeah I think Some kind of chocolate I'd imagine Yeah Nice, wouldn't it? I guess. The end of the world. Wow, nerd. Well, it's important, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I think some kind of chocolate, I'd imagine. Yeah. Kinder Bueno. Kinder Bueno. Kinder, if you're out there, you want to sponsor us? What about some like- I'll take 1,000 Buenos.

What about some chips, some kettle chips or something like that? Nah, you'd be salty enough. Yeah, you probably would. Fair enough. All right, cool. I've got another tweet, though. I'm ready. It says from Adam Papagua. Papagua. Pap would. Fair enough. All right, cool. I've got another tweet, though. I'm ready. It says from Adam Papagua.

Papagua. Papagua. I like it. I like it, too. I hope your letter, Papagua, is as good as your name. Which one of you is going to buckle first and give yourself a quarantine self haircut? I'm on Meso to pull out the clippers first.

This isn't a problem for you though is it because i do it myself yeah so you're all over it i used to many have advised against it and they're probably right but now who's laughing not me still my hair is getting uncomfortably long right i think i'm just going to grow it out until i that's the option yeah you've got two options in a quarantine it's let it grow out or just shave it yeah I can. Or have several years experience in substandard self haircuts and do it yourself. Exactly. What I used to do. When I had like no money.

Yes. I just do like a number two on the sides and then just do a four on top. And you just kind of blend it a bit in the side. And be like, whatever. This is fine. Yeah. And then you do that every three months. Yeah.

Yeah. That's what's going to happen. It's going to happen. Yeah. Yeah. So that's where I'm at. Yeah. There's also gonna be a lot of you know weird beards weird beards kids walking around with weird haircuts oh yeah oh kid haircut absolutely yeah a lot of people are gonna break out that vacuum attachment haircut oh my god yeah because like you have to cut our son's hair and i'm like absolutely not no you'll be leaving this will be a couple

of months they'll have a shaggy haircut They're talking about kinders going back as well, which is, I don't know what we're going to, yeah, we'll see. Home school. We've been doing that. It's a lot. Yep. Like it's good, but I mean,

it's also, they need to talk to other people. It's, kids are social. They're not supposed to be cooped up with their parents. That's when they get weird. Yeah. Yeah. Good question. Yeah.

What else you got? We got one more. Yeah, we got one more. This is from Emilio Abusi. Great names. Good names all this week. Numbat, Abusi, the one you said. There's a Finn.

We got a Finn earlier. Yeah. I was just listening to the Endgame commentary. Thank you. And when you were talking about Quill getting sick of the same 12 songs, it all clicked for me. There must not be any music in space in the Marvel Universe. I think it's more of a link to his past than anything else and his mum.

Well, I mean, maybe, but look. You go to a club and you hear like a whatever. Emilio follows up. He's done the required reading and the working out. If there was music in space, Quill would have adapted and used a better alien piece of technology, alien iPod, to listen to tunes. But the fact that Quill keeps his Walkman around and is surprised

when the Zoom can hold like 100 songs indicate that in all his travels, he has never been in touch with an alien culture that has produced popular music, or at the very least, technology to listen to music on demand. Human culture is the only culture to have ever produced music. This explains why the Guardians are always vibing to classic tunes and why Ronan is so distracted and impressed

by the dance-off to save the universe. He's literally never heard music before. That's really interesting. Makes you think. Because you would think there'd be some alien music interspersed in the Guardians. I think there is at, like, clubs and stuff. There's a moment, you know, remember the movie with robot prostitutes? Yeah, I was going to say the sex planet.

But it's just like a beat, I think. Yeah, yeah, right, right. There you go. Yeah, that's interesting. You think there'd be Space Hole and Space Oats? Yeah. I don't know. Maybe there is. We'll find out, won't we? I think we will. It could just be horrible screeching. Maybe that's why Yeah, that's interesting. You think there'd be Space Hole and Space Oats? Yeah. I don't know. Maybe there is.

We'll find out, won't we? I think we will. It could just be horrible screeching. Maybe that's why he doesn't like it. That's true, yeah. Yeah. Actually, I said Finn, but I hadn't actually read out his letter. It says, theory.

If it's canon that Batman has a bright yellow on his suit as a target with extra armor, why would he give the Robins a colorful suit? So people shoot at them and not him? So if so, that might explain why he goes through many. That's not a bad theory. I'm sure that's probably been, I feel like that's been covered in something. But I don't know, like he's a distraction or a...

Yeah, yeah. Or I don't know, yeah. I mean, that is very true. But that also explains, we did talk about the Robins at length last week. And I think that's why Tim Drake, Robin, and Forward has black on the outside of the cape and yellow on the inside of the cape.

Exactly. Side note and final point is it has been pointed out to me this week that Tim Drake, Robin, has been brought back into continuity as Robin. How many people have told you that? A million people. One person. Oh, cool. Okay, great.

Oh, that's good. Okay, well, now you're happy with that? Yeah, I'm very happy. Great. Terrific. End of the show. End of the show. Thank you, everybody,

This podcast has the better bits and running jokes than any other TV show or podcast. My personal favorite is the Robat Battenbat. Until the no time to die joke took a turn when the bond film was delayed and became turns out we have plenty more time before that we had to die. I had to pause the podcast because I was laughing so much and nearly crashed my car because I was on my way to work.
