Starting point is 00:00:55 This podcast is part of the Planet Broadcasting Network. Visit planetbroadcasting.com for more podcasts from our great mates. This episode is brought to you by ExpressVPN. You're welcome yep welcome back everybody to another episode of the weekly planet where we talk movies and comics and tv shows my name is james also known as mr sunday With me as always is my co-host, Nick Mason. I noticed a little crack in your voice there, James. I think it was probably-
Starting point is 00:01:27 I'm emotional. I'm emotional because of your child or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's why. That's right. I mean, it's a lot of things, you know what I mean? Because what kind of world are our children going to be living in in 40 years from now? A bad one, it looks like.
Starting point is 00:01:39 That's everything shaping up. What do you think? I think maybe we should start positive with some deaths. But you know, before we get to the deaths, I genuinely think that the generation below us and some of our generation, because our generation is kind of a nothing generation. We're stuck. We're under the heel of the boomers.
Starting point is 00:01:57 Go on. By the time they're gone, the next generation will come up and they'll be taking charge. So we'll be kind of this middle of nowhere, kind of nothing generation, which I'm okay with, quite frankly. You've got podcasts to make. That's right. But I genuinely believe in having my interactions with the youth
Starting point is 00:02:13 when I was a teacher. Yes. And just seeing activity online, I think they're more socially conscious and empathetic and more aware of kind of things that affect them and affect the world. So I actually do think things will get better as long as the generation above us die quickly. And, and, and they get a steady diet of red hot comic book movie news, right?
Starting point is 00:02:33 It's a number of factors and this is certainly a big pie of the thing that I'm talking about. Big segment of the pie, yeah. If it's a graph or a literal pie, whatever. Exactly. If there's a Venn diagram of like in the middle bit as world leaders yeah inspiring and and and making a positive difference to the world one of the circles yep is probably like you know education and and health care yes and you know upbringing
Starting point is 00:02:57 and and that sort of thing but the other circle iron levels which is a kind of a bigger circle yeah if i may say so myself. It's the Weekly Planet podcast. Yes, absolutely. I would say like comic book movie news in general, but that's not enough. Yeah, you're right. It has to be specifically. Yeah, you're right.
Starting point is 00:03:17 Because you want that kind of intense dose, don't you? And this is how you do it. Because, I mean, you know, Obama grew up on just general comic book movie news. Sure, yeah. And that's fine, but you know all those drone strikes. Not enough. Exactly. You did some bad things. Bad news. Sure, yeah. And that's fine, but you know all those drone strikes. Not enough. You know what I mean? Exactly. You did some bad things.
Starting point is 00:03:27 Bad things. Yeah, bailed out the banks. Probably shouldn't have done that. Probably because he was listening to, quick, what's another movie podcast we can throw under the bus? The Dollop? No. Total reboot. There we go.
Starting point is 00:03:40 Got him. Got him. That great podcast. Yeah. But also, speaking of generations, that doesn't mean if you're in this generation or another generation, give up. Oh, we're still doing this. Still do things.
Starting point is 00:03:49 You know what I mean? No, I meant we're still doing this. We're still in this. Still in this. Not a riff. I'm serious. Okay, great. Anyway, people died this week.
Starting point is 00:03:56 They did. A lot of people died. The great Fred Willard. Fred Willard, that's right. Who people might know from Best in Show. Best in Show, A Mighty Wind. Anchorman. Everybody loves Raymond.
Starting point is 00:04:08 If you don't recognise him. I do. You do. If you can't quite place him, he's sort of a genial old man who says the dumbest things with the utmost confidence. Yes. That's kind of his, not his shtick. Like everyone's dad. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:04:23 And he's kind of like he's been in so many things and uh he's one of those guys that everybody has a good word yes you know for like nobody's like oh what a mean he's always like you know i i met him on a set and he said you know he said the absolute nicest things and he was so funny and you know people are like he's they'll be like here's an iconic scene from a movie yeah he did 10 takes and he said a different thing every take and he never broke and he never broke a sweat and he just kept being funny kind of thing yes absolutely uh if if you want a good uh if you want a good entry point he's if you've seen a mighty wind he plays a sort of a a blonde tipped manager kind of character who had a sitcom back in the 70s and who's full of catchphrases like,
Starting point is 00:05:05 What happened? I didn't do my work. And he's just kind of this. I've never seen him on the web. It's really good. He's kind of this catchphrase machine. This is from a comedian on Twitter called Dan Telfer. Right.
Starting point is 00:05:18 It says, I met Fred Willard backstage at a TV show. He said to me, Dan, let me teach you something I learned in showbiz. I'm going to throw my shoe at you and if you can catch it in time, you can keep it. Not now, when you least expect it. Be ready. Then he walked away and I never saw him again. So he was kind of this guy who was just like relentlessly,
Starting point is 00:05:39 like he wasn't there to be like, I'm going to be funny for an audience or I'm going to be funny. Yeah. He was just like, you know, I'm going to make, if I'm making one person happy that day, then I'll do that. That's great. That's kind of like how Robin Williams conducted himself as well. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:53 Oh, that's terrific. Yeah. Also, he was caught in a porno theatre once. Yes, there was that situation. At the age of 78. 78, wow. And he was like. I mean, weird, but not illegal.
Starting point is 00:06:03 I mean, I guess it is illegal because he was arrested. And everybody was just like, just let him have this one. It's fine. Yeah. It's. Yeah. He doesn't understand the internet. It's true.
Starting point is 00:06:13 Yeah. Lynn Shelton also died, 54. Yeah. Director. That's right. She did episodes of Mad Men, Mindy Project, Shameless, Marin, Glow. Yeah. To name a few.
Starting point is 00:06:23 And something people may know, she was Mark Marin's partner for like the last year. Yes. Because they met on Glow. And then, yeah, she's done a bunch of, I haven't seen a lot of her work. You probably have, though, like more than you think. Glow is certainly a madman and that sort of stuff. But like she's done, I mean, we've often talked on this podcast
Starting point is 00:06:41 about like, you know, there's not a lot of kind of low budget indie films, just people, you know, making good films because there's no blockbuster budget and then there's no blockbuster return to it. I think that's changing with streaming, but yeah, I don't disagree with that. She did a film, I haven't seen it, but I know, speaking of Total Reboot, Alexis from Total Reboot loves Hump Day, which is a movie with Mark Duplass.
Starting point is 00:07:02 It's about two- He made a nice post as well, I saw, yeah. Yeah, it's about two he made a nice post as well i saw yeah it's about two friends who they're in they're in a lot of competition and they're they're they're constantly at odds and then it sort of ends up they have to make a gay porn film together it's kind of a comedy drama situation one movie i have seen is called laggies it's kira knightley and uh who who is like uh she needs to take a break from being an adult. Yes. So she decides to shack up with some teenagers she bought beer for once.
Starting point is 00:07:29 I think I've seen Laggies. But then one of the teenager's dads is Sam Rockwell and so they fall in love. So that's kind of a star-studded kind of situation. A movie I haven't seen, speaking of Mark Maron, he is also in it. I'm trying to track down because it looks very good. It's called Sword of Trust. Yes.
Starting point is 00:07:46 And it's basically Maron plays a pawn shop owner who – I'm just writing. I'm just typing these in as you're doing this. He owns a pawn shop and two women come in and they have a sword, which they claim is a memento of the South winning the American Civil War. Right. And then they discover there's a market for this kind of like fantasy world of people who believe that they collect all these artefacts.
Starting point is 00:08:12 Yeah, okay, right. They believe that the South won the war and the South will rise again and et cetera and it's sort of like this character-driven comedy. And I think a lot of the movies I've seen of hers are kind of like, a lot of her movies aren't necessarily about like the plot but it's more about like it's just a world you want to live in, like these quirky characters hers are kind of like, a lot of her movies aren't necessarily about like the plot, but it's more about like, it's just a world you want to, you want to live in, like these quirky characters that you kind of enjoy. Like he's certainly like that, I think.
Starting point is 00:08:31 Terrific. Okay. And of course, one more, Jerry Stiller, people would know, father of Ben Stiller, but you know, you would have seen him. Comedy father of George from Seinfeld. That's right. Exactly. I was going to say Seinfeld, King of Queens, Zoolander.
Starting point is 00:08:44 You've seen him, obviously. An incredibly funny, talented human being. Yeah. Who, you know, had a really good innings in it, like all of these people had a pretty good career. A really good career. Yeah, I mean, Lynch Elton, 54, I think. 54, that's way too young, obviously.
Starting point is 00:08:57 But all of these also are not coronavirus related. I was going to say, they always have to specify that now, don't they? Yeah, they do, yeah. Even if it's a car accident. It's like the car accident is non-coronavirus related they weren't running out running the virus no yeah so i just took the wheel that's right the virus leapt up from the back seat hit him in the back of the head that's it so there you go anyway sorry to get off to a downer there but there's some stuff there that people might want to check out yes uh this is
Starting point is 00:09:23 of course is also going to be an all-news episode as well because I'm a bit pressed for time nowadays. Mason might stay and do an extra 40 minutes just by himself at the end. We'll see how we go, but I'm out of here. Okay, cool, great. I'm sure you've prepared a topic that you're going to riff on. Let's see how that goes. Well, I haven't normally – yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 00:09:40 Yeah, go on. I'm going to dismantle your rant from the start of the episode, piece by piece. I'm ready to dismantle your rant from the start of the episode, piece by piece. I'm ready to go. This is going to be my perfect debate scenario. You've left, so you can't rebut anything. You can call it MESO destroys. Oh, with facts and logic.
Starting point is 00:09:55 Yeah, that's right. Yeah, that's right. What I do have here is because I have a note section in my phone. It says Weekly Planet Baby Week for obviously we wondered if you were going to be away this week. You're not necessarily. So I've just been putting bits of notes in here as they come up on the internet. I had to come back for the ad.
Starting point is 00:10:12 This one I've written. Yeah, it's true. I remember waking up very early this morning and writing a note in there and going this will be perfect for the podcast later today. And it says verbatim cancelled bed so i don't know do you think you're in like a half state maybe where you're like i've nailed that but you've actually just written down the thing that you were doing but i don't i don't i think i feel confident something got cancelled this week yeah but instead of writing down cancelled whatever it
Starting point is 00:10:42 was you just went maybe autocorrect took over, but maybe I got it. Maybe my brain went, well, that's bad cancelled, isn't it? But this one I think we both read. Robert Pattinson was in this month's GQ magazine. There was an interview via Zoom. Yeah, right. And he made some waves in terms of just revelations about himself and revelations about his Batman training regimen, all that.
Starting point is 00:11:05 People got very upset about that. How many cups of coffee he used to drink before GQ, before like, you know, media interviews like this. Cooking pasta. Says 5,000 cups of coffee. Yes. Probably too many. See, that's the thing.
Starting point is 00:11:19 He's a lot of this. I don't know how much of this to take seriously. Well, he says here even literally, I like saying sort of provocative things in interviews because I thought it was funny. I get very, very uncomfortable about doing earnest things. Yeah. So I think a lot of this you really have to take tongue in cheek.
Starting point is 00:11:34 Yes. But also the thing- The people did not on the internet. Absolutely not. Well, I think a lot of people do get it though. Yeah. But I think also the thing with this guy is like he says, like he lies a lot about things and whatever.
Starting point is 00:11:45 Because I remember he told a magazine or something that went around the top of Twilight, he stopped showering so people wouldn't hug him or something like that, which is probably not true. Well, maybe it is. I don't know. And also, Twilight fans, I don't want to make any unfair generalizations, but people who are huge fans of celebrities to the point that they will run at them and hug them, they don't care if that celebrity stinks. No, they don't.
Starting point is 00:12:08 There's no insane Twilight fan going, oh, my God, it's Edward Cullen. Yes. Just running at him and then stopping a couple of feet away going, oh, yuck, no thank you. You might think about it when you're walking away. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like you smellier than I thought. But then you'd be like, oh, my God, I get to tell everybody what Edward Cullen smells like.
Starting point is 00:12:25 Oh, my God, he smells like death just like Edward Cullen probably would, the vampire man. Anyway, I don't think any of the stuff that he generally does is really like mean-spirited. They're just like fun little dumb things. Yeah, right, exactly. But the Batman workout regimen, because he was talking about, wasn't it, how he's not really working out as much as he should?
Starting point is 00:12:42 Yes, exactly. The film studio hired a trainer who left Pattinson with a Bosu ball. I don't know what that is. A single weight and a sincere plea to use both. But right now he says he's ignoring her. He says, well, here's the thing. And that's what set people off. People are like, how dare, he's going to be Batman.
Starting point is 00:13:00 He's going to be the buffest guy in the universe. But I feel like thus far there's really been no correlation necessarily between the success or quality of a Batman film. There hasn't been enough information to definitively say if your Batman actor is ripped, that's going to be a good Batman movie. Look, and don't get me wrong. I think if you're in shape, you have to be in a shape to even if you are michael keaton who's not really it was just looked like a regular man sure yeah you have to fix that with angles and exactly and and a muscular suit yeah i i think there is
Starting point is 00:13:36 certainly that aspect of the role and and you know christian bale and ben affleck did a lot of that to kind of take that physicality but at the same same time, even if he's lying, which he might be lying, which I don't think it's the concern to me would be that he's not really doing a good job at the acting. That's what I'd be worried about. Yeah, exactly. I don't really, it doesn't really bother me if he doesn't have crazy abs because also they could CGI a lot of that.
Starting point is 00:14:00 A lot of Ben Affleck's workout stuff in the last Batman v Superman, it's in the dark, you know, and I don't know. I think a lot of that is tweaked. I don in the last Batman v Superman, it's in the dark. I think a lot of that is tweaked. I don't know whether that's a fact or not, but it's so dimly lit. It doesn't actually really matter at this point anyway, if he's telling the truth, which he probably isn't. Or he is. At a certain point, you cannot possibly – here's the thing, you couldn't rule out that if the say the the
Starting point is 00:14:25 quarantine restrictions keep going yeah you couldn't rule out the idea of just recording somebody's head you just send a like a like a digital video camera to somebody's you know hotel room or whatever you just film their head acting and then paste it on a completely cgi man happens all the time you couldn't you couldn't can't rule it out i don't think they'll do it for this but i think they might there might be movies where they go, well, we'll release it VOD. Yeah. Let's just film it in a house and then CGI it over the top. Just film Bruce Willis' head and then put him on literally anybody's body.
Starting point is 00:14:55 Right, exactly. That's how Bruce Willis wants to make all these movies anyway. Oh, my God, that would be his dream. To be in movies but not be in movies but not really be in movies. Exactly. Anyway, he said here, but that's what he's saying. You set a precedent. No one was doing this in the 70s.
Starting point is 00:15:09 Even James Dean, he wasn't exactly ripped. It's just true. He was sort of, he was probably a barrel. But also things have changed and like there are certain expectations now. But at the same time, I'm not, this isn't a concern of mine. No. Or yours maybe. No.
Starting point is 00:15:23 I mean, if he takes his shirt off yes which he might not even right you want him you want him to look like something you know what i mean you can't just have him just be like not a not a block of butter no a lot of block about all like really skinny arms and a little pot belly or whatever you know what i mean but they can they can fix that i'm not really concerned because there needs to be some physicality to it but again whatever yeah and i think you know obviously you need to be a certain level of fitness, especially now that the suits are kind of, you know, heavy and covered in equipment and whatever.
Starting point is 00:15:54 Can't pee in them. Exactly. You need bladder strength is what you need. That's right. Yeah. I know I would if I was Batman. And I'm saying, you know, sometimes I'll just drive for four hours at a time. I'm just saying.
Starting point is 00:16:03 I'm just saying you don't have to take a bath. Four hours is nothing, mate. I could do eight. That being said, I'm peeing four times a day. I reckon I'm just saying. I'm just saying you don't have to take a bath. Four hours is nothing, mate. I could do eight. That being said, I'm paying four times a movie. I reckon I could do eight. I reckon I've done eight in the past. You've done eight? Yeah, I've done eight.
Starting point is 00:16:10 Yeah, that's pretty impressive. Thank you. Let's do an eight-hour podcast and see how you go. Yes, let's do it. I mean, you're going to do it by yourself. I have to go, obviously, because I've got a new baby. But you can do it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:21 Pattinson called another actor on the film, Zoe Kravitz. Yes. The other day, and she said she was exercising five days a week during their exile from set. Pattinson, well, literally, I'm just barely doing anything, he says, sighing again. There's also a bit in the article where he explains his pasta-making regimen. He's got a recipe.
Starting point is 00:16:42 He's doing a microwave pasta or something. But it's got sugar in it and cornflakes. Yeah. I think it was meant to be some sort of pasta bake situation. Okay. Oh, yeah, that's a thing, isn't it? Yeah, like you put your sauce or whatever and you put cheese and breadcrumbs on it.
Starting point is 00:16:53 That's like very much like an 80s kind of. I love a pasta bake. With a cornflake in it? No, that's ridiculous. You put breadcrumbs. Put it on the top. Yeah, but anyway, it's just him going through it and I picture him smoking and being like, oh, I've ruined this. Yeah. Yeah, but anyway, it's just him going through it and I picture him smoking and just being like,
Starting point is 00:17:07 oh, I've ruined this. What are you doing, mate? You're in a hotel as well. Is he? Yeah, he's in a hotel in London that they've set up for a shoot or whatever with his girlfriend, I think. And it's ridiculous. Surely they're sending food up.
Starting point is 00:17:21 Why is he doing this? Because he's doing whatever he wants. Maybe they're only sending up food that he – but then why would they send up sugar? Like I'm thinking maybe they're only – He's ordering it. He could get what he wants. That's true. You're right.
Starting point is 00:17:31 Maybe he has a pigeon that brings him sugar. Maybe he has a sugar pigeon. Would you put it past him? No. Exactly. All celebrities have a sugar pigeon. You've probably got it in a gift bag, you know? It's a sugar pigeon, I mean.
Starting point is 00:17:41 It's actually a cocaine pigeon. It's nice. But they could take sugar. That's fine. Yeah, I mean. It's actually a cocaine pigeon. But they can take sugar. That's fine. All they know is they look behind them and there's a little tube of white stuff. Yep. White dust. And they put it on their pasta bake.
Starting point is 00:17:52 That's right. Yeah, exactly. Terrific news on the Robert Pattinson front. Thank you. Did you hear the Mandalorian news season two? Timothy Oliphant. Timothy Oliphant is going to make an appearance. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:04 Justified's own and other things. Katie Sackhoff is apparently going to return as Bo-Katan, who's of course turned up in Rebels and The Clone Wars. And Harrison Dooler, which is a character from Rebels, is also going to make an appearance. This really seems like a who's who of the Star Wars animated world. More like a who's that. I know all these characters and how dare you.
Starting point is 00:18:25 I want to talk about The Clone Wars actually and what we're reading More like a who's that? I know all these characters and how dare you? Yeah. Yeah, I want to talk about the Clone Wars actually and what we're reading because I did watch some of it, which I quite enjoyed. So, yeah, there is some concern that with that you've got your Captain Rexes and your Boba Fetts and all your other characters that they're working in. Like is there any room for original characters anymore in Star Wars? No. Wow.
Starting point is 00:18:43 That's my answer. There's also speculation that maybe they're kind of doing all this so that they can spin off into other series and all that kind of thing. Yeah, everything's like a backdoor pilot kind of situation, right? And the thing is as well, there is still that 30-year gap between Return of the Jedi and Force Awakens that has largely been unexplored. There's still some books and comics, but there's a lot of stuff
Starting point is 00:19:03 that happened in there that we don't really know. I mean, why is Han Solo mostly the same? Because he went back to smuggling. Oh, yeah. Was it a book? Yeah, yeah. Was it a book? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:13 Yeah, so there you go. You still excited for the Mandalorian season two? Yes. Have you been watching that making of Mandalorian on Disney Plus? Oh, probably should. Yeah, I've heard it's quite good. Are they doing a director's round table? And they're like, what do we think of Star Wars?
Starting point is 00:19:25 And they're all like, I grew up with Star Wars. Are they doing it episode by episode? I don't know. Like episode one of Mandalorian in there. I don't believe so. Because otherwise it would just be like big monitors, live stuff on the monitors. That's what we're doing.
Starting point is 00:19:36 That's what we're doing now. That's exactly it. Here's a piece of news. Love news. This is from NME.com, obviously the New Musical Express, the font of music news around the world, bands, tours, Spotify. Spotify. Charlie XCX, I don't know, stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:19:55 Anyway, this article says, Chris Evans says he can no longer wear cable knit sweaters after Knives Out fandom. So he can't do it anymore. He doesn't want to be associated with the character? No, he just, on the character no he just he just uh he he he on Fallon he said he chooses his clothes as a result of the action he can no longer wear his favorite cable knit sweater oh it's all right it's a shame I don't know if it
Starting point is 00:20:14 works anymore he says it's heartbreaking if you're listening Chris Evans it definitely works it does I'm wearing a cable knit right now yeah but you're not Chris Evans oh I know but I was in denial about that until moments ago when you said it. But don't you think though. I was looking in a mirror and going, Chris Evans, it's okay. You can wear a cable knit sweater if you want. Yeah, but say you got really famous in a role for wearing a certain thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Would you then wear that thing every day? Robert Downey Jr. just wears his own clothes. Yeah, but that's a good point actually. I think so. But he's the exception, isn't he? Yeah. Yeah. Chris Pratt isn't wearing his Star-Lord jacket is what I, actually. I think so. But he's the exception, isn't he? Yeah. Yeah. Chris Pratt isn't wearing his Star-Lord jacket is what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:20:48 That's true. But I guess the difference is this isn't like, it's not a superhero outfit. No. It's just a regular cloth. Just a regular cloth outfit, yeah. Not to make of that. I'm happy for him, though. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:57 In all of his endeavors, including Is My Son Jacob Guilty or whatever, that Apple TV show. Have you watched that? I haven't watched it yet. I don't want to buy another subscription. I've got it because I got a new phone and so you get it for free. Maybe I should upgrade my phone. It's not worth it to buy, but it is worth it if you get it for free. Oh, Quibi is out of business apparently.
Starting point is 00:21:17 Because it's terrible? I guess so. And didn't the person who runs it was like, I went out of business because it was a bad time to launch because of quarantine. It's the best time to launch it. It's absolutely the best time. That's right.
Starting point is 00:21:28 You could not have picked a better time. Although, look, I see the justification there. Maybe because it seems like it was phone worthy. It's small screen stuff. And maybe he was like, oh, okay, well, this is a show you watch when you get on the train. You've got 10 minutes before you stop, so maybe you watch a new episode of something on your phone.
Starting point is 00:21:45 Yeah, but people are going on the dunny, aren't they, mate? Yeah, they've always got the dunny, don't they? That means toilet in Australian. Yeah. Just for everybody who doesn't know. So, yeah, but I still watch stuff on my phone. Yeah. Like if I get a spare moment to, like, stand in the cabin
Starting point is 00:21:59 and watch something while my kids are screaming. Or if you're in the dunny. Or if I'm just in the dunny. Yeah, taking a grogan. That's right. That's Australian for big shit. So, yeah. So, look, if you look at some of the programming for Quibi,
Starting point is 00:22:16 it's not terrible. Well, there was new episodes of Reno 911. Yeah, exactly. Which is a show that I love. A show that I never watched but have been meaning to watch. Yeah, right. But the idea that also you can watch it and we talked about it in like different modes. We did, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:28 Like are you watching a show in like what's the portrait mode or whatever? Portrait mode, yeah. I will do it on YouTube if I want to kind of read the comments as I'm doing it. But generally that's not something I want. Do you want to see the greatest game where one of the Hemsworths is hunted? Kind of. Yeah, kind of. Depending on the Hemsworth, obviously.
Starting point is 00:22:44 Depending on the Hemsworth, yeah. Depending on the Hemsworth, yeah. Quick, ask me which one. Which one? All of them. Any of them. That was a trick question. Any of them. I'll watch them all.
Starting point is 00:22:50 Luke Hemsworth. I'm up to date on the last Hemsworth. Figured it out. Because of Westworld. Because of Westworld. That's right. That's fantastic. Yes.
Starting point is 00:22:58 I can't wait for you to forget. Oh, I'll forget. Until the new. But, you know, he's doing some stuff in between Westworlds, no doubt. Quibi series. No, that's his brother. Liam Hemsworth's doing Quibi. Oh, good on him. Yeah, that is some stuff in between Westworlds, no doubt. Quibi series. No, that's his brother. Liam Hemsworth's doing Quibi. Oh, good on him.
Starting point is 00:23:07 Yeah, that is good. He seems like the early adopter. He's in those OPSM ads in Australia. Is he? He's all about the place. He's in all sorts of ads. He's buying new glasses. Oh, that's right, because you're out in the world.
Starting point is 00:23:17 I'm not out in the world. I'm not saying nothing. I did see, actually, I did have to go to the city because my baby was born. And the bus I was watching outside the hospital. You wanted to show the big city lights. And they were pretty good. But the bus that was going past was that Nazi hunting show on Amazon Prime Video. I thought you were going to say a Nazi bus.
Starting point is 00:23:36 A Nazi bus. Yeah, the one with Pacino. Yeah, which I already watched. And I'm like, wow, they're not updating any of this shit, are they? No. So they've got, I was going to say, they're not Quibi ads, they're OPSM ads. Yes. Yeah, okay, right.
Starting point is 00:23:47 So they're probably old. No, you would have seen them. There's like a TV ad. You would have seen it on YouTube or whatever. No. You got YouTube, Red? Yeah, I do. Well, then you're missing out on some prime content.
Starting point is 00:23:57 It doesn't sound like I am. Because he goes to an OPSM dealership or whatever, and they hand him a big bag of sunglasses and they say, if I can ask, what are these all for? And then he goes through a bunch of stuff like in his daily life. He's playing sport and he's getting papped by the paparazzi or whatever. Getting papped. But my primary takeaway from that is how dare that man ask him what he's using all the glasses for.
Starting point is 00:24:19 It's none of his concern. It's none of his concern, exactly. Exactly. It's like when you're an international assassin. You're like, what do you need all these guns for? You ask that question, you get shot. You get shot, exactly. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:27 And that's what happens in the ads. That's absolutely fair enough. There's a deleted scene in the movie Extraction. Yes. Where the OPSM guy is in a room and he gets shot to death. Wait. They take a bag off his head. Quick question.
Starting point is 00:24:41 Yes. Are we still talking about Liam Hemsworth or is Chris Hemsworth in there? No, it's a team effort. Yeah. Okay, still talking about Liam Hemsworth? Yes, we are. Chris Hemsworth. No, this is, it's a team effort. Yeah. Okay. Gotcha. Liam called in a favor. You got it.
Starting point is 00:24:48 Have you seen that guy, that photo of them where they're in like a bar fight? No, they just look like furious. I do remember that though. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:56 Would you fight the Hemsworth brothers? No way. No way. I mean, it depends what it was over, I guess. Um, a bag of glasses.
Starting point is 00:25:05 Yeah, no, I would. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don, it depends what it was over, I guess. A bag of glasses. Yeah, no, I would, yeah. Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know if you could. He's dallying in a world of glasses. I live in that world. He'd kill you. Yeah, well, it'd be a good fight, though, I reckon.
Starting point is 00:25:15 Yeah, for him. Yeah, I know. He'd get a cool, some sort of cool security camera footage where he'd still be looking incredible. You're not wrong. Here's a bit of news. I love news. For you.
Starting point is 00:25:27 Speaking of Star Wars. Are you talking about Star Trek? Yes. There's a CBS All Access have ordered a full season of Star Trek, whatever it's called. Captain Pike. Yes. Star Trek Strange New World.
Starting point is 00:25:41 So this is going to be featuring Captain Pike. Yes. Who is the star ship Enterprise captain before Kirk. Played by, I've looked that up. Anson Mount? Yes, that's right. Yeah, he's great. Yeah, great.
Starting point is 00:25:52 Really good in that show. And Spock? Spock. Who's Spock? Yeah. Beard Spock. Yeah, Beard Spock. But I think the trailer seems to suggest no Beard Spock.
Starting point is 00:26:01 And number one. I don't want no Beard Spock. I know he did shave it off at the end of the series. But I don't want no beard Spock. Did you watch Picard? No, I didn't finish it. You know what's good about that show?
Starting point is 00:26:10 It ends? Yeah, that's yes. Were you going to do that? I was going to boo, but you got it in one. For the listener, James even put his hands around his mouth
Starting point is 00:26:21 megaphone style. I leaned out of the mic. To not blow all your ears and headphones. Yeah. And I stole your thunder. You did. That's okay. And I do it again.
Starting point is 00:26:31 I'm happy for it. Thank you. I can't wait till the Hemsworth brothers get you. Yeah, I can't wait either. Oh, my God. You're going to get papped. You're going to be famous. I'm going to reblog it on Instagram, the security footage.
Starting point is 00:26:42 It's going to be great. Yeah. Number one is also in it as well. Yeah. Rebecca Romijn is going to be in it. Yeah, I think this is a good idea. I think so too. So it seems also like it's going to be him leading up to being in that box
Starting point is 00:26:55 that he has to be in. Yes, that he definitely is. Every episode he's going to stick his head in like a microwave or whatever and being like, hmm, can't see myself living in this. Yeah. You know? Do you reckon, I think, and call me naive, but I think they're going to find a way to alter the timeline
Starting point is 00:27:12 and he's going to circumvent that. Yeah, maybe. Yeah. Also, this appears to be. Or it'll be a teleporter clone. You know how that happens sometimes? Yeah, maybe. I think they'll figure it out.
Starting point is 00:27:21 It'll be a Doctor Who tenant situation where like another, another version of him ends up in the box. Exactly. Or it's a, you know what, it could very well be. Because, you know, in the. Do you want to explain the box to those who don't know, actually? Especially the original series of Star Trek. Yes. There is an episode, I think, where Kirk is on trial,
Starting point is 00:27:38 or the crew of the Enterprise is on trial. They do it in Future of Hammer as well. Yeah, they do. And they bring in star witness Captain Pike. Who was in the pilot. He was in the pilot. Same actor? I think so. I'm going to look that up. I don it in Future Hammer as well. Yeah, they do. And they bring in star witness Captain Pike. Who was in the pilot. He was in the pilot. Same actor? I think so.
Starting point is 00:27:48 I'm going to look that up. I don't know for sure. Yeah. And he, through a variety of horrifying circumstances, he has ended up in like a space iron lung situation slash wheelchair situation. Correct. Yeah, I think he could very well be right.
Starting point is 00:28:02 It could be a, you know, he could receive some sort of premonition or prophecy that he's going to end up like that. Yes. And we wonder what's going to happen to him through the whole series. And then we introduce an evil shapeshifter or something like that. Yes. And then at the end of the series, this shapeshifter assumes his form and then he's murderised.
Starting point is 00:28:19 Yeah, right, absolutely. And ends up in the box. And when the box is saying, I think Captain Kirk's guilty or whatever, what he actually means is, I'm not really Captain Pike, I'm a shapeshifter. Yeah, okay. This is how my language sounds. So it looks like it is the same actor as well.
Starting point is 00:28:31 I might be wrong because I'm just trying to skim the Wikipedia while talking to you at the same time. But, yeah, what was interesting because they touch on it in To Spoil Star Trek Discovery Season 2 or An Aliment Of, there's a moment where he has to get like a time crystal or some shit, I can't remember, and if he grabs the crystal that will lock his fate in that he's stuck in this box. Yeah, right. And you see him, and it's actually really good,
Starting point is 00:28:53 and he's actually really good in the role, where he makes a decision where he's like, this is my fate, I know I'm going to get horrible radiation poisoning, I'm going to end this box. And he gets a flash of his future and him in the box and he's like screaming like, oh no, this is going to happen to me. And he kind of rallies and he kind of takes a breath and then he grabs it anyway. Cause he's like, this is for the good of, and then when he saunters back onto the bridge, like the bravado is back up and he's just like, I've
Starting point is 00:29:17 got a job to do it. He's just really good in the role. I mean, and also I feel like, you know, and that, that is also the, that that's the spirit of Star Trek that I think a lot of people probably accused Discovery of not having. Yeah, and I certainly cannot argue with that because there is elements of it that's not perfect. But, yeah, I think that's, you know, when people think of Star Trek, they think, you know, duty and stoicism in the face of, you know.
Starting point is 00:29:43 Being in a box. Being in a box and, you know, insurmountable odds kind of thing. Yeah. Insurmountable odds. Oh. Oh. You know, that's very good. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:29:56 That's more of a you thing. But that kind of wordplay. I've noticed you leeching my power away. That's what I'm about. I need it for parenting. I need some. Well, I need it for fighting summer all of the Hemsworths. You're not going to win anyway. That's a good point. That's what I'm about. I need it for parenting. I need some. Well, I need it for fighting some or all of the Hemsworths. You're not going to win anyway.
Starting point is 00:30:08 That's a good point. That is a good point. I may as well go down in the first punch. That'd save me a lot of trouble, if anything. But, yeah, like when people think of Star Trek, they think of, you know, the Enterprise and being surrounded by the Borg and then Picard's in his ready room and then they discuss it and then he stands up
Starting point is 00:30:23 and he, like, tugs his uniform down, and he's like, here we go. It's time for this, and then. Time for clenching two fists together and wildly swinging them. Doing a big punch. Yeah, that's right. And then holodeck time afterwards. Yeah, of course.
Starting point is 00:30:36 Yeah. Have a merry jaunt on the bridge. That's right. Yeah. I'll make Data kiss Riker or something. I don't know. That's right, because that's what I'm into. That's what I'm into.
Starting point is 00:30:45 I'm French. I'm weird. I'm stoic, and that's what I'm into. That's what I'm into. I'm French. I'm weird. I'm stoic and that's how I got to get it out somehow, you know? Anyway, look, I'm not wrapped on New Star Trek in general. I think it's way too over budget. They often miss the point of what they're doing and some of the creators behind it seem like, I've heard some stuff and I don't want to discuss it here
Starting point is 00:31:03 about some of the people behind it who are truly awful. Like stars or? No, no, no. Some creatives behind it, but I'm not going to get into it. Tell me afterwards. Yeah, I will. And it's because I don't want to get anybody into trouble. But, yeah, just so, yeah, but you know what?
Starting point is 00:31:17 I think that's a good spinoff, I think, hopefully. What else have you got in news? I've also got some news. Yeah, okay. Timothy Olyphant, I did mention that. A lot of people are dead. The Olyphant Man. I would never stoop that low as to say The Olyphant Man.
Starting point is 00:31:32 Yeah, I would. You could. Obviously. Good. But he's clearly not, like if he was hideously ugly, that would be like, that's a bit rough. Yeah, right. But who am I hurting?
Starting point is 00:31:41 Like if I said that to him, he'd be like, ha, ha. He wouldn't be like, hey, he's okay with it. No, I would stoop to an insult. I just wouldn't stoop to a play on words of that level, of that caliber, James. Okay, well, I can understand that. Yeah, yeah. But I can see why you might be justified in doing so.
Starting point is 00:32:00 Yeah, thanks. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. Thank you. It's pretty good It's pretty good Thank you It's pretty good What do you have, James? Oh, I've actually got
Starting point is 00:32:08 Netflix is getting a new movie Called Ball and Chain Okay It's actually written by Emily V. Gordon Oh, from The Big Sick And podcasting They've actually got a new podcast
Starting point is 00:32:17 Which I'll talk about More on Suggestible Okay, cool At the moment But people would know her Her and Kamau Nanjiani They do a lot of cool stuff Yeah, they are
Starting point is 00:32:24 They were best known to me Initially as the host of The Indoor Kids. Great podcast. They're no longer around Indoor Kids. Yes. But basically it's based on a four-part comic book series of the same name by Scott Lobdell and it follows Edgar and Mallory Boulson, a married couple who have decided to throw in the towel. However, their lives are flipped upside down.
Starting point is 00:32:42 I nearly did the Fresh Prince thing. I nearly just went into it automatically. Yeah, right, right. When a mysterious meteor bathes a couple in extraterrestrial energies, giving them superpowers that only work when they're together. And their parents just don't understand. They don't just understand. And it's big Willy time and millennium and other things.
Starting point is 00:32:59 We talked about the Miami sign. Sorry? We talked about the Miami sign. Oh, it's not a real sign? No, it's not a real sign. Yeah. I saw it in something quite recently, like a new thing. Bad Boys 3, probably.
Starting point is 00:33:08 No, it was another thing. Bad Boys 2. Yes, that's what I'm thinking of. Yes, correct. I'm sure if you Googled Miami sign, it would give you a list of things. Yes, exactly. That because there's not like a definitive Miami landmark that people know? Is that the reasoning behind it?
Starting point is 00:33:21 Yeah, I think it is, yeah. Okay, yeah. When it's a big pile of cocaine. Yeah, of course. I'm sure people, though, from Miami are like, how dare you, there's a very iconic Miami river. Yeah, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:33 Anyway, what do you think of that? So it sounds kind of like Mr. and Mrs. Smith sort of, but superheroes and also a bit of that movie Hancock where they have to be together and they're angels. Oh, that's right, of course, yeah. It seems better. I'm guessing from the casting that this is also off the back of they're doing Jungle Cruise together, the Rock's Tiny Tugboat.
Starting point is 00:33:54 Oh, yeah, of course. And they're like, they've got a great chemistry and they're both incredibly tan. So let's get these guys together for another movie. Yeah. Interested? Yes. I'm always kind of skeptical of. Movies,
Starting point is 00:34:06 the entertainment industry. Yeah, but there's so much crap and there's a lot of pedophiles and you know, all that stuff, obviously, but you never know. Okay. Like I'm skeptical of brand new superheroes because often they just borrow a
Starting point is 00:34:20 lot of stuff from existing superheroes and be like, this is like no one you've seen before. And you're like, well, I know who Superman is. Sure. Yeah. But that're like, this is like no one you've seen before. And you're like, well, I know who Superman is. Sure, yeah. But that being said. Oh, but this guy's more sarcastic, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:34:32 That makes it I like the people behind this. And Emily V. Gordon also has a background in like therapy and like youth therapy in particular. So that might bring an interesting slant to this as well. So, yeah, I like it. And it's going to Netflix. So what does that mean? Did you see those superheroes that I think there was a big backlash
Starting point is 00:34:47 against them quite recently? They were like there was a non-binary superhero and there was a Marvel, I think. Okay. People are up in arms. But it was just one of those things where they didn't release them in context. They just released them in, you know, those character model sheets.
Starting point is 00:35:03 Where it's just like front shot, back shot, here's their character and here's a couple of character notes and people are like, boo. But you could do that with anything. You could be like, if you did it with Batman and Batman wasn't a thing, people are like, oh, he's a man and he dresses as a bat. Oh, he's got a cape. Boo. Batarangs.
Starting point is 00:35:20 Boo. Exactly. Yeah. I say yay to Batarangs, just to clarify. I say also, yes, that's right. Just to clarify. Yes. What else have say yay to Batarangs, just to clarify. I say also, yes, that's right. Just to clarify. Yes. What else have we got?
Starting point is 00:35:27 You got any more news? They have a director for the Scarface reboot. Yeah. What's, well, people don't know. He's the director of Call Me By Your Name, apparently. Yes, which is apparently very good. Luca Guadagnino. I heard Michael B. Jordan might be the lead of it as well.
Starting point is 00:35:41 I heard it might be a lady Scarface. Lady Scarface. Lady Scarface. I know people are complaining that how dare you reboot Scarface and so forth. Yes. But Scarface itself, the movie is a reboot. It's like a 1930s film.
Starting point is 00:35:52 I'm not saying it'll be better than the movie Scarface because that's a classic and there's that bit with the cocaine and then he goes. Are you saying that it won't be on as many like college, university like movie posters on the wall? Do you think that's what colleges are doing now? Because I don't think they are. No, I don't think they are, but they were posters on the wall. Do you think that's what colleges are doing now? Because I don't think they are. No, I don't think they are, but they were back in the day. Certainly were.
Starting point is 00:36:09 It was that and it was Fight Club. Donnie Darko. Donnie Darko, obviously. Yeah, just movies that. Now it's just Deadpool parodies of those. So it's Scarface, but it's Deadpool. Sure. Donnie Darko, but Deadpool's in the movie theatre
Starting point is 00:36:22 and he's like, this is money. It's the years of the energiser bunny. It's Deadpool, but it's theatre and he's like, this is money. Is this the Energizer bunny? It's Deadpool, but it's actually a Deadpool 2 poster. That's right. What am I doing back here? This first one sucked, but this one's going to be good. Yeah. Look, I don't even know if I've seen Scarface in its entirety.
Starting point is 00:36:41 So I'd have to, I think it's one of those things where I'd have, I probably saw it like 20 years ago. I'd have to watch it again to be like, no, I've seen this. But obviously everyone knows the scene, you know, the giant pirate. Well now it's going to be, say hello to my little friend, acceptance and wokeness. People are going to be like, boo, boo, you know? Yeah. It's probably going to have a lot of feelings.
Starting point is 00:37:03 Yeah, sure. But the thing is like, if you're going to reboot it, you need to change elements of it. Otherwise it's probably gonna have a lot of feelings yeah sure but the thing is like if you're gonna reboot it yeah you need to change elements of it whether it be otherwise it's pointless otherwise what are you doing so whether that be a casting choice of the you know what you're gonna do look i'm gonna i'm gonna look up lady scarface and see what it and see who the the casting maybe this was just a ridiculous rumor it might have been tilda swinton oh she'd crush it though right yeah like that's there's nothing wrong with that look i don't know anything here but maybe i made that up
Starting point is 00:37:29 yeah i i was in a group message chat with this week and people were like with famous people no i don't know i'm not talking about regular people people this diversion is over james no okay go ahead uh but it came up yes people people were like, why would they reboot this or whatever? And I wanted to jump in and be like, well, actually, it's a reboot of blah, blah, blah. But no one wants to hear that because shut up me, obviously. It's the same when you talk about The Thing and people are like, I can't believe they remade The Thing when The Thing itself is a reboot.
Starting point is 00:37:56 Nobody cares. Something that I relearned this week and you probably, we may have even mentioned on the show, but I don't know if we have. The show or a different show? Maybe a different show, maybe in our lives, who knows? A show that is our lives. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That Die Hard is a sequel to a movie starring Sinatra.
Starting point is 00:38:17 Sinatra movie, yep. The detective. Yes, that's correct. So he got first pass on being in that movie. Yep. Die Hard. And then it went through like Stallone and some others until it went to Bruce Willis when he was still trying.
Starting point is 00:38:28 But yes, that is correct. That was actually one of the movies, I guess I can mention this because it will probably never happen, but when they were going to make a new Die Hard, the last kind of Rat Pack movie I wanted to do was that Frank Sinatra or John McClane movie, which I might end up doing anyway if they eventually make another Die Hard because Disney have it and who knows what's happening.
Starting point is 00:38:47 So what you're saying is we're saving it until. Yeah. Okay, right. Because remember there was going to be that Die Hard prequel sequel. Yeah, I do remember that. But I don't think that's happening anymore. Old Die Hard flashes back to Young Die Hard. Yes, exactly.
Starting point is 00:38:57 Old Die Hard v. Young Die Hard. Battle for the widow's peak. They're both reaching for it on the poster. But young McLean is reaching quite a lot harder than old. Of course he is. Because old McLean doesn't care. Old McLean's doing it over Skype or whatever. Or he sent somebody.
Starting point is 00:39:16 He sent it, yeah. He sent Jai Courtney, his son. That's right. You get it.

Starting point is 00:43:25 very welcome for both things no that's okay it's good good good good good i'm with the show absolutely uh what were we talking about again i can't remember i've got more news though if you do i'd like to hear some more news okay so rick riordan's uh percy jackson uh is getting a disney plus television reboot yes percy jackson and the lightning thief Lightning Thief. It's five books apparently. I did some research. I did my research. And some movies. I've seen one of them.
Starting point is 00:43:49 It's been two movies, 2010 and 2013 I think. Movies are mixed in their response because they borrow some of the law and they're not faithful enough and whatever. I don't know enough about it to definitively say whatever. I know Christopher Columbus I think directed the first one who did the first two Harry Potters I believe. There's a huge fan base for this and there is also massive kind of praise for the way that they're doing this one book a season,
Starting point is 00:44:12 five seasons if it goes well. Oh, I see. Wow, okay, right, right, right. Even Logan Lerman, who was the original Percy Jackson, tweeted out and is like, I'm really excited to see this and it's great that this is – because they did plan to make more movies but they never got around to it. Well, that's some good...
Starting point is 00:44:26 He's sending out some good vibes to the universe. I think so, yeah. Speaking of, did you see Matthew Lillard was like, bless the new Scooby-Doo movie. Did he? He was like, good luck. The world needs a new Scooby-Doo or whatever. I heard it's fine.
Starting point is 00:44:37 I've also heard it's fine. I heard it's more of a Hanna-Barbera shared universe movie than a Scooby-Doo movie as well. I've heard. Oh, what have you heard? We've both heard a lot of things this week. We've heard some things. And seen neither of them.
Starting point is 00:44:47 Neither of us have seen them. But apparently it's Scooby-Doo plus Hanna-Barbera characters and they've also tried, like they've wedged in a superhero thing. Yes. Because kids like superheroes now. They love it. I would assume you would have seen this with your kid. It just came out Friday, so I will see it.
Starting point is 00:45:01 We actually watched Spider-Verse today. Oh, yeah. And re-watching it with him, he's like four and a half. I'm like, this is a lot for a kid. Yeah. Like, it's insane. And so I think he, like, before he watched it, I introduced him to, like, the different characters
Starting point is 00:45:15 in different mediums. I'm like, this is some Spider-Ham. I found a good, there's a show on Disney+. I can't remember which Spider-Man series it is, but there's a Miles Morales introduction. Here is a real spider. It's a real spider. It's in the room with you right now. It's big. You can touch it. I can't remember which Spider-Man series it is, but there's a Miles Morales introduction. Here is a real spider. It's in the room with you right now. It's big. You can touch it. I can't remember if it's poisonous or not.
Starting point is 00:45:29 It's big, but is the rule that the big ones aren't or they are? I don't know. So he knows there's different versions. But seeing them all together, I could see he was just like, this is a lot. Here's the Vincent D'Onofrio kingpin. Yeah, that's right. Here's him slamming a man's head in the car door.
Starting point is 00:45:46 Here's the one from the Green Mile. What's his name? He's dead now. What's his name? What's his bloody name? I'll look it up. Please do. I'm looking up Green Lantern.
Starting point is 00:45:55 He is in Green Lantern, isn't he? Why am I typing Green Lantern? Is he in Green Lantern? Yeah. Michael Clark Duncan. He is. He's Killer Wog, I think, isn't he? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:04 Yeah, so he's a voice or whatever or a mocap dude. Yeah. So, yeah, it's a lot. I bet, yeah. It was a true introduction to Spider-Man. Did he have to cover his face? No, he was fine with it. Like, he liked it.
Starting point is 00:46:13 Yeah. But to like that movie, it's not just a kid's movie, which I guess is what's good about it. Yeah. But it's a lot. There's a lot of noise and colour and, yeah. And dead Spider-Mans. And dead Spider-Mans.
Starting point is 00:46:24 And it's funny. Yeah. I mean, I always knew it was funny, but I's a lot. There's a lot of noise and colour. And dead Spider-Mans. And dead Spider-Mans. And it's funny. I mean, I always knew it was funny, but I still love that joke when he's running away with the computer and Peter Parker's like, we don't need the monitor. And it's just like just a fun little joke. I think I talked about it when we covered the movie. But, yeah. So Percy Jackson.
Starting point is 00:46:39 Yes. Good news is we get to cover it for Caravan of Garbage eventually. Okey-dokey. When they start filming things again or whatever. What about this? They're kicking off the Superman and Lois series. That's confirmed. Yeah, did you see the poster?
Starting point is 00:46:50 Yes, it's Superman and Lois. Yeah, I like that version, I think. Me too, yeah. I might watch it. You might watch it, okay. I think they're going to do a Batgirl crossover as well. Didn't they mention that as well? Show I also haven't been watching.
Starting point is 00:47:03 Yes. You know, the Ruby Rose. That woman, yes. That woman, sorry. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Ruby Rose one or whatever. So there you go. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:09 But no, it's having seen some of that crossover stuff that they did and seeing him turn up in Supergirl, a show that I liked but stopped watching like I do all things. Yeah, I like him. And that universe still exists and is mostly good, I would say. Yeah, it's still good. Here's a tweet from my friend and yours, Michael Williams. I know Michael Williams.
Starting point is 00:47:29 From many podcasts that he does. Yeah. And doing comedy. And a very nice man. Very nice man. Someone tweeted out, we should share our most mundane celebrity encounters. Michael has written, I once sold Ruby Rose a copy of Maxim.
Starting point is 00:47:42 She was on the cover. Neither of us remarked on that fact. So that's fine. That's fine. You had a mundane celebrity thing, interaction? Saw a silver chair in an airport food court once. Saw a silver chair in an airport. The band Silver Chair.
Starting point is 00:47:57 Every member of the band Silver Chair. What did you say? Daniel Johns, the other two. I didn't go up to him. No? No. But people were like chasing him around. Chasing them around?
Starting point is 00:48:08 Like in a game of musical chairs, musical silver chairs. I was going to say more of like an old-timey kind of British sitcom. Yeah, that's right. They were chasing silver chairs. One of them's a British bobby with a club. Silver chair were chasing them. That's right. Then there was just like a sexy
Starting point is 00:48:23 nurse being chased around. Yeah. But like they went to a food court and all these like fans just started milling around them and they just had to move to the next food court. Sure. Which was like visibly down the hall. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:36 And then all the fans eventually had to like pretend they weren't following Silverchair. Oh, yeah. Did you follow Silverchair? No. What year was this? Let me guess. Yes. 2004. Yeah yes 2004 yeah maybe yeah i know things yeah nice i feel like now people like the fans of silver chair are now a bit older that's like mid-30s they're not following them around a food
Starting point is 00:48:56 that's true are they no my mind i've had a few i guess uh one of them being that uh when i was like 19 i met john burgess in a casino. Baby John Burgess. Baby John Burgess. Yeah, yeah. He's like, I was going to say he's like the Tony Barber. What's an American? He hosted Wheel of Fortune. Yeah, what's an American reference or a British reference?
Starting point is 00:49:13 Alex Trebek. Alex Trebek. He's like an Australian Alex Trebek. And he was fucking awesome. Like he was really nice. Nice. And very, and I was like half cut. And he was just really nice and great.
Starting point is 00:49:24 So that was really cool. Every week on Twitter, he puts up a TGIF related joke. He just does a joke and he says TGIF because it's Friday and everybody in the replies is just like TGIF baby John. TGIF buddy. Baby John Burgess. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:38 I think I've got some others. A while back, Pete Smith got on the tram on the way to the football. Oh, Pete Smith. Famous, just radio announcer, TV announcer, Pete Smith got on the tram on the way to the football. Oh, Pete Smith. Famous just radio announcer, TV announcer, Pete Smith. Sale of the century. Exactly, yeah. Yeah. Got on with his wife.
Starting point is 00:49:53 Cool. He didn't say or do anything really, but he seemed like a nice man. But he was there, wasn't he? Yeah, he sure was. He was there for it. That's a mundane encounter. I don't know if I've had any others. I probably have.
Starting point is 00:50:03 I don't know. I try not to bother people. What else have we got here? Oh, I think I mentioned this another time, but one time Billy Brownless walked in front of the tram as it was moving and nearly ran him over. Didn't you also almost run over Angry Anderson once? No, that was in person.
Starting point is 00:50:17 I went to fight him. Not true. Anyway. You would kill Angry Anderson. I would kill him. I know he's known for his anger, but you would tear him in half. Just the reputation, just the aura I would kill Angry Anderson. I know he's known for his anger, but you would tear him in half. Just the reputation, just the aura I would project having lost a fight to any number of the Hemsworths, just him being in that aura would kill him.
Starting point is 00:50:33 Yeah, it would. Yeah. What was Billy Brownless like? Was he like, I'm walking here? No, he was like, whoop, whoop. He was all right? Yeah. He was a local larrikin, isn't he?
Starting point is 00:50:41 He was a local larrikin, exactly. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Put his back, Mason. Ah, yeah, he's all right. Good for you. I was thinking this week that, you know, I'm like all these people bloody just complaining, just I can't leave the house and it's,
Starting point is 00:50:52 but why put the football back on? And I'm like, these idiots, why can't they just shelter in place and do all that? And then it just occurred to me, it's just because I only, I like things that are indoor things. Yeah, right. Like it doesn't affect me.
Starting point is 00:51:10 Yeah, people like doing things. But but also don't people like being alive yeah I guess they do yeah but at the same time like I'm like I'm above all this I'm just I can approach a zen state of concentration master stay inside but it's like but that's only because I only like things that are in the tv so do you mean like things that are outside, I probably just. Do you mean like components, various cables inside a TV? Yeah, resistors and capacitors and such. Yeah, good, good. Just tinkering away on a tube TV. Just LAN cable inputs.
Starting point is 00:51:34 It definitely, because there have been some relaxing restrictions this week and it has been nice to catch up with a handful of people and just be like, let's have a wine. Do some day drinking, mate. I'm at home. It doesn't matter. Nice. That being said, I guess I could always just day drink.
Starting point is 00:51:50 I've been doing this for a while. I could be day drinking from way back. That's right. I'm letting it go, mate, and I'm not doing enough exercise. What do you think of that? Yeah, I can tell. You did give me the up and down when you came in. It's true.
Starting point is 00:52:04 The Washington Post have reported, this is an anonymous source inside the film industry. What does that mean? I don't know. If Tenet doesn't come out or doesn't succeed, every other company goes home. It's no movies until Christmas. Wow.
Starting point is 00:52:18 So Tenet is the canary in the coal mine of movies. Of being released into cinemas. Correct. Wow. Again, I still don't think Nolan is feeling the hate. I don't think it's ultimately down to him. I know it's his decision. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:52:31 And he's obviously pushing for it. But if things don't recover enough where they think they can make profit from this, they're not doing it. That's true. And then no movies until December. Yeah. Well, Christmas. We don't know if they're going to push Christmas back.
Starting point is 00:52:44 I hope they do. Wow. Push it back to 2024. Yeah. Well, Christmas. We don't know if they're going to push Christmas back. I hope they do. Wow. Push it back to 2024. Wow. You can tell your kids there's no more Christmas. That's what I'll tell them. I like Christmas, the day of. But I also like the day after Christmas when they bring out hot cross buns
Starting point is 00:52:57 and everyone goes crazy. But hot cross buns should be a year-round thing. I agree. Fuck is people's problem with that? That's right. What do you care if there's hot cross buns? And people are like, well, there's raisin toast. Now, I'm sure I've even made that argument.
Starting point is 00:53:08 It's not the same. How about this? How about this? You ready for this? I'm ready. Circle buns. They're the same, but there's a circle on the top and not a cross. That's where we get around the Easter thing.
Starting point is 00:53:18 Yeah, yeah, that's not a bad idea. It's a pretty good idea. It's not a bad idea, Mason. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We should actually get this edited out. Royal Collings is editing this out. Yeah. Also, congratulations to Weekly Fund Planet Posters on 100 posters.
Starting point is 00:53:28 You did 100 posters? You've got a Patreon as well if people want to check that out. He's making those posters off his own dime. That's right. If you do want to commit to more posters, which I know you do. Do you have any more news? Because I have one more bit of news. Let me check real quick.
Starting point is 00:53:43 Oh, season two of Doom patrol is uh is coming out that's happening i haven't seen season one i've just bought it on i've just bought it on blu-ray it's on you can get it on here you can get it on google play you can probably get everything now yeah okay i should watch it shouldn't i it's good how much do you love it i love it a lot i'll talk we'll talk about it in a segment in a moment but that's uh that's coming out so that's confirmed yeah that's good he's giving. Look at these notes, Mason. You're so prepared. So many notes.
Starting point is 00:54:07 Oh, the big news. I think we've got the same big news. The big, big news. I've saved it for last. Because it's so big? It's the biggest news. Big and definitive news? Is this the big and definitive news segment?
Starting point is 00:54:17 I would say it's- Big, juicy, and confirmed. Big, juicy, and definitive news. Can you feel it? Are you squishing it about? Mason, there's a reason I left it for last Yes, because it's the biggest, juiciest news The biggest news you could possibly ask for
Starting point is 00:54:29 The New Mutants has a new release date Hey Mason, they should call it the bloody Old Mutants by this point, don't you think? Wait, why? Because it's taken quite a long time to come into cinemas But like the cast, you've probably seen some images online But people have actually aged them up so they look like old people when they're promoting the show via Zoom. So they all look like elderly people.
Starting point is 00:54:51 But at the time when they made it, they're supposed to be in high school. But by the time it actually comes out, they're going to be much older. That's what's good about it. Old mutants. Do you get it? I'm not really following, but I appreciate that you've attempted to clue me in on that. It's good.
Starting point is 00:55:05 It's a good joke. Ah! Old mutants. It's good stuff. It's good stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So August 28th. Well, I mean, it all hinges on Teneff, doesn't it?
Starting point is 00:55:18 Yeah. The lynchpin of cinema. I mean, yeah, this might not even happen if. How confident do you feel about this? August? Yeah. Everything's so up in the air at the moment, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:30 Look, if they can figure out a system and people are willing to risk the system in cinemas, like, okay, we can have- 25% capacity or whatever it's supposed to be. Yeah, right, right. Because that's the thing, they would have to- They'd have to. They'd have to, exactly. But like the sheer logistics to be safe, it'd have to be okay,
Starting point is 00:55:50 everybody gets in a, you buy your ticket and they assign your seat and you go, okay, every fourth seat and every other seat has like a big X on it, you can't sit on it. But also if you don't, in order to actually be safe, you'd have to be like, if you don't arrive on it but also if you don't in order to actually be safe you'd have to be like if you don't arrive on time yeah not allowed in because otherwise you got people climbing yeah yeah absolutely maybe you buy an unassigned seat yeah and they just wave you in and you have to fill all the seats if i'm going to this which i probably will for this show i have to risk my life for this show that's right i'm where i I'm 100% wearing a mask. Oh, yeah, for sure. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:25 Which I know some people think is a bit PC to care for your health and others. But, yeah, that's where I'm coming at this from. Can't you be a real man for your family and not wear a mask and potentially kill yourself and others, James? What family? No, I'm not a real man. That's true.
Starting point is 00:56:39 What would you do if you're in the cinema and someone comes and sits next to you? You say something, right? I'm normally not a say-something guy. Yeah guy unless I'm, like, provoked into it, and then I'm a snapping public guy. Okay, main question, is it one of the Hemsworths? No, no, no. Oh, then tell them to get out of here.
Starting point is 00:56:57 Take a hike. Take a hike, Buster. What if they insist and they show you the ticket, but the ticket's wrong? Because then I'd have to get close, wouldn't I? I'd be like, if you look, you can see that the ticket's wrong there. Would you threaten physical violence? Would you be like, I'll break all of your fingers?
Starting point is 00:57:14 I don't think so. Stamp on your head? I know what you're like. That's what you do. Yeah, that's true, yeah. I also would not do that. That was a test. Because you're probably quite sheepish from your Hemsworth beatdown.
Starting point is 00:57:25 That's exactly right. And I'm just in the cinema to get away from it, you know? You want to watch a Marvel movie that you're pretty confident has no Hemsworths in it. Exactly right, yes. I think that's all the news anyway. Yeah. You know what it's time for, though?
Starting point is 00:57:38 What's it time for, James? What we reading? What we going to read? What we going to read? I'm doing a thing. Reading what we're going to read. I'm doing a thing. Westworld.
Starting point is 00:57:52 Am I going to do that every week? I don't know. Maybe. Last week. We're not talking about Westworld, are we? No, I want to talk about Doom Patrol. I don't. Oh, come on, mate. Look, I'll listen, but I don't want to talk about it.
Starting point is 00:58:01 Okay, that's fine. So you hadn't actually watched it before, is that correct? No, because it was not... Available here, DC streaming, et cetera. Yeah, we don't have DC streaming. We don't want to talk about it. No, I am interested. So you hadn't actually watched it before, is that correct? No, because it was not. Available here, DC streaming, et cetera. Yeah, we don't have DC streaming. We don't have HBO Max. We do have it on. Oh, did you hear all the HBO Go stuff is going to Foxtel?
Starting point is 00:58:15 See, that's what we have here. We have a cable service, a very bad cable service. We've talked about it. We have a bad cable service run by a bad man. Anyway, I refuse. Murdoch, it. Murdoch. Doom Patrol, I think, was on that along with The Watchmen. Yep.
Starting point is 00:58:28 But it also was not available on home release. You couldn't buy it on VOD. You couldn't buy it at Blu-ray or whatever until like this month. So I got it, and it's really good. Really good, you say. Again, it's sort of like season one of Titans in that it's really good really good you say it's like again it's it's sort of like season one of titans and then it's saying you know it's it's uh there's individual episodes but it's also sort of a long ongoing epic it's not like monster like a tv series like a tv series exactly yeah but it's not you know it's less monster of the week kind of thing okay uh and it's funny and it's sweary
Starting point is 00:58:59 and it's it's self-aware yes and alan tudyk's in it. Love him. Timothy Dalton's in it. How much real Brendan Fraser is in it? He's in it quite a bit because there's a lot of flashbacks to his. Yes, where he's like, I'm racing cars. Yeah, I haven't finished. I'm maybe halfway through the series. Yes. But, yeah, he's in it quite a bit because there's a lot of flashbacks. There's a lot of time jumps, both metaphorical and literal sometimes.
Starting point is 00:59:24 And, yeah, it's quite self-aware. No real spoilers, but Alan Tudyk plays Mr. Nobody, who's sort of this void man or something. Yeah, he's sort of like a godlike void man who's sort of, you know, he's messing with the Doom Patrol for a variety of reasons. Is it actually him or is it a voice? He appears physically. He does appear as a voice because he's also the narrator.
Starting point is 00:59:46 Oh. But he is aware that he is both in the TV series Doom Patrol and that the particular arc that they've come from is the Grant Morrison arc from the 80s. Oh, my God. So he's like, well, this is going to piss off the Grant Morrison fans, this particular diversion from the established canon and that sort of thing. Terrific.
Starting point is 01:00:06 It's really fun. It's funny. This is not news probably to most people who are listening to this from America because they've already seen it already. But I have exclusively heard good things about this. Yeah, this one's been worth the wait, which is really nice. Great. Terrific.
Starting point is 01:00:20 Okay, hot stuff. As I threatened, I watched the final four episodes of The Clone Wars. Without watching anything else. People are like, don't watch it. That being said, I've seen Rebels and I've seen like a lot of Clone Wars and I read some of the supplementary materials and I've read the comic arc. So I kind of know the backstory behind it.
Starting point is 01:00:37 And also Dave Filoni himself said that the last four episodes act as a standalone and you should be able to watch them without seeing any of the supplementary materials around it. Anyway, it's great. It's awesome. The last four episodes of Clone Wars are well worth checking out. And I think before the Mandalorian comes back, because it could very well tie into that, I'd very much like to cover this for Caravan of Garbage.
Starting point is 01:00:57 Yeah, okay. We can do that. Just the four episodes? Just four episodes. I mean, there's others. There's other actually, and also there's certain episodes of Rebels that I'd like to cover as well. But yeah, it's some of the best star wars there's ever been genuinely wow
Starting point is 01:01:08 it's really terrific cool and i say that as somebody who didn't watch all the other stuff that much so you know okay but yeah it's it's really you don't think i'd be lost if i'm i don't think so no it's there's nothing previously on the rest of the season of the clone wars a little bit i mean okay yeah look i think if, because I knew a little bit, so there wasn't a moment in it or a character I didn't recognize, but maybe that would be different for you. But I think there's enough in it where, you understand Order 66, don't you?
Starting point is 01:01:36 Look, yeah, exactly. Then you're fine, because it overlaps with Revenge of the Sith. And I understand, generally speaking, you can tell somebody's good or evil alignment by the color of their lightsaber. Oh, my God, that's so true. I pretty much get it. You figured out Star Wars.
Starting point is 01:01:47 I figured out Star Wars. It's really terrific. Some other stuff I've been watching. I watched a show on Netflix called Hinterland, which is sort of like. Oh, yeah, I've seen that pop up. It's a sad, cold British crime drama. Oh, my God, Claire's favourite. It's very Broadchurch in that way.
Starting point is 01:02:02 It's my parents' favourite. He's a criminal profiler and he's moved to this town because he wants to get away from blood and all the murders, but there's other murders, you know? There's other murders? There's other murders, that's right, even in this sleepy seaside town. Why did he not understand that? I mean, I guess he grows to understand it, doesn't he?
Starting point is 01:02:18 He grows to understand it, I think, yeah. Hinterland, huh? He should have moved to space. He's climbed in space. Did you see the trailer for Space Force? Yes, I did, yeah. Yeah, look forward to that. It's coming to Netflix in a couple of weeks.
Starting point is 01:02:28 Yeah. I also watched Solar Opposites, which is the new Justin Royal and some of the Rick and Morty guys. Initially, I was like, oh, this feels a bit like Rick and Morty Lite. Well, here's my question, I guess, because Rick and Morty is Dan Harmon and Justin Royal. Yes. And oftentimes when one party goes and does. Here's my question, I guess, because Rick and Morty is Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland. Yes. And oftentimes when one party goes and does. You're talking about Grant Naylor and Doug.
Starting point is 01:02:53 No, what I was thinking of specifically is the two Mighty Boosh guys. Oh, okay. I find that oftentimes when you separate like a TV creative team, you go, oh, I get why they were. Like I get why that previous season. Like a Richard Gervais and a Stephen Merchant maybe sometimes. Yeah, exactly. I get why that previous show worked and a Richard Gervais and a Stephen Merchant maybe sometimes? Yeah, exactly. I get why that previous show worked and maybe this one doesn't or it's completely different.
Starting point is 01:03:09 Sure. Because the Mighty Boosh guys, they split up. Well, they didn't split up, but they finished doing their thing. And Noel Fielding had a show called Luxury Comedy, which was all the surreal stuff from the Mighty Boosh. There's no plot to speak of really. Yeah, okay. And I'm like, oh, I get it how they work together. He did the surreal stuff and Julian Barrett did the plot. Yes. No plot to speak of really. Yeah. And I'm like, Oh, I get it.
Starting point is 01:03:25 How they work together is they, he did the surreal stuff and Julian Barrett did the plot. Yes. Everything. So how is this? Is this all interdimensional cable? No, there's definitely like Alan element of that.
Starting point is 01:03:34 And I've, there's been accusations that they'll let one of the lead guys in it is just Rick. Cause he's kind of knows everything. He's a genius. But what I find interesting that they're really insecure in a, in a different way than, I mean, Rick is also insecure, but in a different way.
Starting point is 01:03:48 They want to please people and kind of. There's as many insecurities as in the world that there are stars in the sky. But one of the really interesting subplots that does get its own episode is one of the children characters starts shrinking down people he doesn't like and keeping them in like a terrarium in his bedroom wall. But then there's this whole subculture in there of tiny humans okay there's this mad max like dystopia society going on there
Starting point is 01:04:11 and alfred millennia is like the leader and there's this kind of rebel uprising and wow and mouse milk and and the only things that they get fed is chocolate and things like that because that's what one of the kids puts in there all right and so there's this whole episode episode well it's interspersed but then there's a whole episode dedicated to it yeah right and it's just i honestly i think it's really great and you should watch it maybe i will if you like rick and morty or even if you don't like rick and morty then you probably won't like it but it's different enough you're not going to be like well this is what i was worried this is diet rick and morty because it's certainly not. Yeah, right. Yeah. And it's all late.
Starting point is 01:04:46 They're released all late. So just use your VPNs. Unlike Rick and Morty, which is coming out one episode at a time. That's right. What was this week? It was the Facehugger episode. Facehugger episode, yeah, which was good. I liked it too, yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:56 Because they explored Facehugger society in a way that we had not seen before. They sure did, yeah. Also, I've been watching, and I mentioned this off air, I've been watching Hbomberguy's YouTube videos. Yes. He does sort of long video essays on a variety of topics. You sent me that, and I'm like, I've been watching, and I mentioned this off-air, I've been watching Hbomberguy's YouTube videos. Yes. He does sort of long video essays on a variety of topics. You sent me that and I'm like, I've seen this. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 01:05:09 Oh, you know what I have been watching this week? I forgot. So he did a video, Hbomberguy did a video a couple of years ago about why Sherlock, the British TV series, sucks. And so I started watching Elementary, which is the, I started watching it ages ago, but I've gotten back on it. And it's a good. Apparently it's good.
Starting point is 01:05:25 It's a good, solid show. It's the American version of Sherlock Holmes. So it's Johnny Lee Miller as Sherlock Holmes, and it is Lucy Liu as Joan Watson, and it's good. It's a good, solid murder mystery of the week show, and it's unlike British Sherlock. It's a show where if you are paying attention, you can figure out the clues and solve the mystery potentially
Starting point is 01:05:49 at the same time as Sherlock. British Sherlock will go into his mind and be like, I found it. Yeah, exactly. It was Moriarty. Yeah, yeah. And he also lives in my mind maybe? Yeah, right, exactly, yes. Or whatever.
Starting point is 01:05:59 That's great, I think. Cool. Yeah, I should watch that. And they've got, you know, did you see that Danny Boyle and the two Sherlocks, they made a version of Frankenstein together and it was a London stage production. It just got released on YouTube for free. Oh, Johnny Lee Miller's in it.
Starting point is 01:06:13 Johnny Lee Miller. Yeah, there we go. It all works together. So, yeah, there you go. So, oh, that's what I was saying. But H1WR Guy does a lot of long form. I like his climate change. Long form videos about a variety of topics.
Starting point is 01:06:23 And he doesn't pull any punches. It's very fun. He certainly doesn't. Yeah. Do you know what it's time for then? Is it time for letters? Yes, Mason. Yes.
Starting point is 01:06:31 The classic one was letters, oh letters. We love you. Some letters, they're only a day away. I know they're here right now. We're going to do letters. If you do want to reach the show, hashtag Weekly Planet Pod on Twitter Bit light on the ground in terms of Twitters this week But don't get me wrong, got to pick down a couple of bloody good ones
Starting point is 01:06:52 Don't you worry about that, but please send them through Because generally I see all of them, so please And what have you got, Mason? I've got letters, James Yes If you'll bear with me for one gosh darn second Through weeklyplanetpod at gmail.com. That's right. We're just inundated
Starting point is 01:07:07 in a good way. Look at this one. This is from Hamish Brown. Yes. He says, recently watched The Nice Guys and Bad Times at the El Royale. Yeah, sure. My Nemeses. Both of which are great. Well, we'll see. Included an excellent cast and an original story but bombed
Starting point is 01:07:23 at the box office. Why do you think original star-studded movies like The Ones Above fail to make their money back? That's a great question. Because they star-studded cast. Yep. We've got a Gosling. We've got a Mendo. Yep.
Starting point is 01:07:35 We've got a Hemsworth. We've got a Crow. It's true. Is that who I'm thinking of? Russell Crowe's in the last cast. Oh, yeah, he's a nice guy. I'm thinking of that Hustle. You know the movie?
Starting point is 01:07:44 It's got Mendelsohn and Ryan Reynolds. American Hustle? No,e's in Oh yeah this is a nice guy. I'm thinking of that Hustle. You know the movie it's got Mendelssohn and Brian Reynolds. American Hustle? No it's called Mississippi Grind. I haven't seen that. Probably bombed. Who knows?
Starting point is 01:07:54 But you're right nice guys Russell Crowe and Gosling and then Bad Times has the Hemsworth Brothers. But then again Knives Out had an all-star cast and it was
Starting point is 01:08:00 original concept. Do you think it's in marketing? I think it might be. Do you think it's also a mass appeal kind of thing? You've got to make something. Because Bad Times at the El Royale also in the marketing felt like a Tarantino
Starting point is 01:08:10 joint, you know what I mean? But they can't be like, and it's a Tarantino movie. That's true, yeah. I think also if you look at Knives Out and the way it was marketed and presented, and it's also a beautiful looking film that you could kind of take any scene from that and show somebody. If you look at the El, whatever it's called, it's called El Camino, the bad hotel thing.
Starting point is 01:08:27 You watch the trailer for that and it's a bit, it's flashes of neon and blood and rain and violence. All my favourite things. Yeah, yeah. But you're not going to be like, mum and dad, you should see this. Whereas opposed to something like a Knives Out, you could be like, it's a good murder mystery. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 01:08:43 And you get that from the trailers. Yeah, you're probably right yeah it's maybe yeah maybe it is it's like like i feel like i can't really recall what happens in the trailer for el royale but if you'd said it involves a man getting his head smashed into the floor you'd be like yeah it does of course it does it's got that yeah it seems a little it seems a little too seedy i guess yeah is that it and i guess also because the nice guys is also like that's a seedy film. Yeah, that's true. Probably not as much, but Nice Guys is terrific.
Starting point is 01:09:10 I wasn't huge on the other one that you said. It's a name I keep forgetting. El Royale? Yeah, I like the idea of it more than, oh, I liked it. I liked it, yeah. So I don't know. I think it does come down to broad appeal and marketing and a clear message of a thing that people like.
Starting point is 01:09:25 And then they have to like it after coming out of it to tell other people. Because most movies do well off word of mouth eventually. That's true. Generally. But who knows? I don't know. Also, Nice Guys finished last. Is that always true?
Starting point is 01:09:37 It's probably true. Whoa. Makes you think, doesn't it? This is from Just underscore Jonathan. Hashtag We'll Hit Planet Pod. What do you think is the best second movie in a series? Example, Empire Strikes Back, Terminator 2, et cetera. Rules.
Starting point is 01:09:49 Yes. It cannot be third or fourth. It must be the second in the franchise. Okay. What would you say if I was like sequel trilogy Star Wars, The Last Jedi is better than Force Awakens? Controversial, I know, because Star Wars. But would you say that would not count because it's technically
Starting point is 01:10:03 like the 100th Star Wars movie? No, because it's a new trilogy. Is it though? Oh, yeah, good point. Okay, maybe it has to be an original IP. Okay, sure. So if I was like the Dark Knight, would you be like, well, there's been lots of Batmans.
Starting point is 01:10:16 Oh, you've got me again because that's maybe more of an auteur type movie, isn't it? Makes you think, doesn't it? And if I was like Blade Runner 2049, would you be like, well, technically the movie Soldier is a spin-off with Kurt Russell. Is that a sequel though? Is that a sequel? Makes you think, doesn't it? And if I was like Blade Runner 2049, would you be like, well, technically the movie's sold or is it a spin-off with Kurt Ross? Is that a sequel though? Is that a sequel? Makes you think, doesn't it?
Starting point is 01:10:29 Yeah. I think Blade Runner 2049 is better than Blade Runner. I don't think that's controversial. Yeah, no, I mean, it's, you know, it's really well produced. It looks amazing. It probably looks like how they want it. You know, the original Blade Runner was quite the feat. It looks like a dog's turd. No, it doesn't. It still looks like how they want. And, you know, the original Blade Runner was quite the feat. It looks like a dog's turd.
Starting point is 01:10:47 No, it doesn't. It still looks good. Yeah. But, you know, Blade Runner 2049 is what, if they had technology at the time, it's what it would look like. Totally. The original would look like so. Can you think of any other sequels that you're like,
Starting point is 01:11:00 that one is the best in the series? I was going to say Mad Max 2. Terminator 2 is very good. But is it the best? Because I would say you could even argue the best in the series. I was going to say Mad Max 2. Terminator 2 is very good. But is it the best? Because I would say you could even argue the Terminator is better. My brother, the one you do like, thinks the Terminator is better than Terminator 2. What about this?
Starting point is 01:11:14 Spider-Man 2 is the best Spider-Man? That is true. Is it? Because Spider-Verse? What do you mean? Spider-Verse is better than Spider-Man 2. Well, it is, but it's not a second movie, is it? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:11:26 No, it's not, but I'm saying it has to be the best in a series of films. I've got that written down here. But is Aliens definitively better than Alien? I think it is. I think it's more. We've seen Alien as adults. I love Aliens. I love it.
Starting point is 01:11:42 But Alien. But, yeah, but is it better? I don't know if it is. If I was going to put one on, I'd probably put Aliens on. But that's because the first one is like a slow burn sci-fi and the second one is just like pew, pew, pew. Pew, pew, pew. Aliens is pretty funny now in retrospect.
Starting point is 01:12:00 Aliens? Alien, first one. Yeah. It's funny. Is it? Yeah. It's funny. It's funny and not scary. I like the bit when his head comes off and he's spurting milk. Yes, that one. Yeah. It's funny. Is it? Yeah. It's funny. It's funny and not scary.
Starting point is 01:12:06 I like the bit when his head comes off and he's spurting milk. Yes, that's exactly what I'm talking about, yeah. Now, I haven't seen this, but you probably have. Evil Dead 2 is the best Evil Dead? No, Evil Dead 3 is the best Evil Dead. That's what I wanted to ask you. I think Deadpool 2 is better than Deadpool. Okay, but here's the thing about Evil Dead 3, though.
Starting point is 01:12:23 Evil Dead 3 is when it tipped over to, like, comedy action horror. Yes, yes, yes. So that's, I guess if you prefer more straight-ahead horror, Evil Dead 2 is probably better. It is wackier, but it's also more better production and better everything. It's not, you know, the cheaply made indie film. Would you say it's more groovy?
Starting point is 01:12:41 It's more groovy, yeah. Yeah, baby, like Austin Powers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But 3 definitely tipped over into, into like we're very self-aware of what's happening here. I think Austin Powers 2 is probably the best Austin Powers. What about Darkman 2? I haven't seen it.
Starting point is 01:12:54 Die, Darkman, die. Or whichever one. Return of Durand. Whichever one it is. I'm curious if people are like what's a definitively better sequel? Yeah. Would you say also to add a rule, it has to be in that entire franchise? So if it's Spider-Man, if you're like spider-man far from home is the best spider-man movie yeah
Starting point is 01:13:11 we've had a million tries there's been a million so it's got to be like the first of yes so even if you're like batman returns is the best batman well batman 66 is technically the best i guess i don't know maybe we'd have to pick an era because what if you're like, well, Superman 2 is obviously the best Superman. It'd be like, well, what if, but it's not a sequel. It doesn't count because there were black and white bloody Supermans back in the day. Yeah, nah, fuck all that.
Starting point is 01:13:34 Anything black or white, no. How about this, though? And I think you'll definitively agree with me on this. Tron Legacy is obviously better than Tron. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yeah. That's maybe a good movie, I think. Yeah. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Starting point is 01:13:45 Yeah. That's maybe a good movie, I think. Yeah. I've been saying that for years. Yeah, you have. Yeah. Mission Impossible 2 is the best Mission Impossible. No, it isn't.
Starting point is 01:13:53 That's the worst one still. Yeah. Yeah. And there have been a lot of them too. That's true. Any other sequels or you want to move on to a letter? Let's move on to a letter. I love letters.
Starting point is 01:14:01 This is from Tangible Bean. Cool name. It says, Michael from the great nation of Ireland here. Agreed. I'm Michael. I've never been, but I'd like to go. I have, and it is. Let's move on to a letter. I love letters. This is from Tangible Bean. Cool name. This is Michael from the Great Nation of Ireland here. Agreed. I've never been, but I'd like to go. I have and it is.
Starting point is 01:14:08 It's great. Great. Well, good for you. Thanks. I've traveled. Due to the coronavirus, my school is doing a yearbook for the final students.
Starting point is 01:14:16 All right. Great email. Thanks. No, no, there's more. I'm like, surely, sorry, I'm just reading this for the first time here. Do they not do it every year?
Starting point is 01:14:25 I don't know. Maybe this is like a- They mean final students. It must be final year, right? I'm sorry, I'm just reading this for the first time here. Do they not do it every year? I don't know. Maybe this is like a- They're being final students. It must be final year, right? Final year students, yeah. Not the final students ever in Ireland. I hope not. Unless they're fallen to savagery.
Starting point is 01:14:33 Are they being children of men? Maybe, maybe. Maybe it's true. Maybe they're doing a yearbook even though everybody's locked indoors. I guess so. This is the first and likely only time we'll get an opportunity to make up a yearbook quote. Maybe it is.
Starting point is 01:14:44 Maybe they don't do yearbooks in Ireland. Yeah. And thus my friends and I are having trouble coming up with one. I'm heavily considering choosing tell me what to do, I don't know what to do. Tell me what to do, I don't know what to do. Pretty good, right? Any helpful advice would be appreciated.
Starting point is 01:14:58 Mine was bad and they didn't end up using any of it. Mine was also bad. I think maybe we talked about it in the show. Mine was bad. I think I stole somebody else's yearbook joke from many years ago but it's like before you make fun of somebody walk a mile in their shoes because then you'll be a mile away and you'll have their shoes so it's the classic how much bloody type space are they clearly not enough they were like do whatever you want and they cut it off in the middle so
Starting point is 01:15:18 it was like before you make fun of somebody walk a mile in their shoes so it made it look like i was some sort of sad case like I was some sort of sad case. That's apt though. They went, this is fitting. That makes sense. They're like, we could cut off any, we could edit this in any way we want, but look at him. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:15:35 We'll draw out the essence of him and put it on the page. But if you actually look through yearbook quotes, just like a general yearbook, they're not good. They're either in jokes or like current references. Yeah, right. Exactly. Yeah. Whatever they can't good. They're either in-jokes or like anchorman quotes or whatever it is. Yeah, right, exactly, yeah. Whatever they can't rip. Just a quote from Scoob.
Starting point is 01:15:49 Yeah. You should do a quote from Scoob, I think. Yabba-dabba-doo because it's a shared universe. That's right. Because the Flintstones are probably referenced in it or whatever. Yabba-dabba-Scooby-Doo. Yeah. The dog is what your quote should be.
Starting point is 01:16:02 Ultimately it makes no difference. But you know what would be good? Just one where you look back on it in 20 years and be like, I don't know what this means should be. Ultimately, it makes no difference. But you know what would be good? Just one where you look back on it in 20 years and be like, I don't know what this means. I don't know. The name of Elon Musk's kid, you could put that in there. No, that kid will probably be famous for ruining something. But look, I think if you did the I don't know what to do,
Starting point is 01:16:22 I don't know what to do, you probably will put that in and look back and go, what is that? Well, that's the thing. If you're going to commit to that, I reckon if you commit to, I don't know what to do, or maybe I quote know what to do. I quote know what to do. You're going to have to. You should do I quote know what to do. Well, that's the thing, but it won't make any sense.
Starting point is 01:16:44 I know. But what you have to do is you'd have to make the Professor X face in the photo. And have they already done the photos at the start of the year? Exactly. You would have to talk to the photographer and be like, because then also yearbook photographers are not known for being. They're quick.
Starting point is 01:16:59 They're like. They're like, get it through, barrel it through. So you have to be like, stop, wait a second, here's some money. I'm going to make this face. Yep. Just let me do this. And then it through, barrel it through. So you have to be like, stop, wait a second, here's some money. I'm going to make this face. Just let me do this and then it's going to make sense. Exactly. You don't have to explain it really. You have to just be like, I've got to make this face.
Starting point is 01:17:13 It's really important. You were at one of my university graduations where I had to get that one photo. Oh, that's right. Because a friend of mine who you also know, he got a photo where he's holding – Paul, he's on my Instagram. People know him. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, I can name him if people know him. I was like, I won't name him, but no, people know him.
Starting point is 01:17:32 Where he's holding the thing and he's – whatever it is, the thing that they hold. What's it called? The certificate. Yes. The thing that you get. The scroll. The mystical scroll.
Starting point is 01:17:40 And he's looking over his shoulder kind of like this. The bloody – if it's an heart to disgrace, the bloody toilet roll, isn't it? Exactly. That's what they say. And he's doing a bloody glance over the shoulder and doing a smile. Yeah. And he got that done.
Starting point is 01:17:54 Like the guy made him do it. And then it looks ridiculous. So all of my friends ended up doing that in theirs. And so when I went up, I was like, I don't want any of this, but I just want this one photo. He very reluctantly was like, Jesus, all right, fine. I'm like, I'm not paying for any of this except this one, so we're doing it.
Starting point is 01:18:10 Anyway, what was I even talking about? Yearbook quotes. Yeah. Should I post that photo? It's awful. Absolutely. Yeah, I will. So, yeah, just I reckon, I mean, if there's something that you say,
Starting point is 01:18:22 if you have a catchphrase, I reckon put that in. No, not you. Yeah, but do. No, I think if our delightful listener has a quote that they know. Do you have a thing that you say, like outside of this show, people are like, that's so nice. That's so nice. That's what I say.
Starting point is 01:18:40 You clearly know my catchphrase. That's so nice. I'll just say something bad. Yeah. And as people are going, oh, I'll go, that's so my son. You totally could. Yeah. Maybe that could be his quote, that's so my son.
Starting point is 01:18:52 Yeah, yeah. Oh, yep, please. Or I quote know what to do. I quote know what to do. It's hard to say if you're not reading it. That's right. This is from Owen Hall, hashtag weekly planet pod. If you guys had a far higher budget for the show,
Starting point is 01:19:03 what would you change or would you change anything what i would like to do i thought about this yes and i know we've talked about filming it and whatever and we'll probably do that at some point but i would like to have more time to do more research into topics yes like i do research a lot and i i try to research in a way that i'm then not just reading facts like what i try to do i absorb all this like behind the scenes stuff and i read a bunch of trivia and then if we're talking i'll bring i'll try and bring it up which means i often miss things because if it doesn't come up organically but if there's something i really want to nail yeah i will write it down well that's what i've
Starting point is 01:19:38 been trying to do when we do the caravan of garbage because usually what happens is if we're talking about a movie or tv episode or something like like that, in the past I've just watched it and then I've hoped that I remember enough things. And then afterwards I'm like, oh, I remember when that happened. So now I've been writing stuff down. And if it doesn't eventuate in the conversation, I just say it at the end. Yeah, exactly. Which I think people are loving that, though. Okay, that's good.
Starting point is 01:20:02 I feel, yeah. But, yeah, you're right. Because oftentimes we'll watch a video essay or something like that and there's a lot of research and a lot of fully written jokes kind of thing necessarily. We don't really write the jokes. Well, I don't write anything. Yeah, sure.
Starting point is 01:20:20 Yeah, no, but that's the thing. And it's also a fine line of like, am I just a guy reciting a dad joke I've written kind of thing? And I've definitely, like, been guilty of, like, just writing down facts in the past, which I don't think is as interesting as it coming up organically. So for me it would be, again, I try to research a lot, but, again, I try not to make it look like that I have researched a lot at the same time, so it's not just a list of things but yeah and a lot of people also will like on on patreon if
Starting point is 01:20:48 they're suggesting a topic that we could do on caravan of garbage or something like that oftentimes it's like you should watch this series yeah and we would like to yes like it sounds it sounds like a series that you know as you watch it the ridiculousness builds up yeah kind of thing but unless we've we've already watched that in our regular lives, like if somebody was like Buffy, you should talk about Buffy. I could because I watched every episode of Buffy. But I have not. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:21:12 And so. But that being said, I think that can also be interesting where, okay, for example, when we did the Sarah Connor Chronicles, I watched that whole two seasons and you'd seen some of. Yeah, right. But I think that gave it an interesting dynamic because you come at it it comes it from a person who's watching who hasn't seen it and then i can kind of fill in that yeah right so you get those different perspectives yes so we should do buffy is what i'm saying and then i don't and i don't have to watch it you can watch the first
Starting point is 01:21:38 episode in the last episode and the tele movie with luke perry who's maybe in it. Yes. Yeah. That was a cinema release. Wow. Yeah. I love movies. Remember cinemas and cinema releases? Not really. I just remember Bloodshot. Bloodshot.
Starting point is 01:21:51 Yeah. I just remember Bloodshot. Got anything else? Yeah. Okay. This is a question mostly for you. I think you've answered this question before, but I just like the structure of the email.
Starting point is 01:22:03 Is it about traveling or being a dad? Because I probably have in this episode. No, no, no. This is from Matthew Chiara Vallotti. Good name. Great name. Good name, Matthew. It says, we're in a movie trailer drought, so I'm wondering if after all this virus stuff,
Starting point is 01:22:17 Mr. Sunday Movies will go back to breaking down trailers. Let me finish, James. Sure. I like him and I like his trailer breakdowns, but I know he hates them. Is the pandemic-induced break from trailer breakdowns a permanent liberation from him or does he kind of miss doing them? And then afterwards he signed off, ho, ho, ho, Santa, and there's a little Santa emoji.
Starting point is 01:22:38 And that's suckered me right in, this question, honestly. Because you're like, where is he? Where's this guy at? Because I feel like maybe you've definitively answered this a couple of times. Probably. But then maybe your answer has changed, but also where is this? Answer?
Starting point is 01:22:50 Where has this sign-off come from? Did you do it for Christmas and you've forgotten about it? Yeah, right. Because it's been six months and you should probably. Did he like put an email in and time it to release now? But then how would he have known of the virus? Oh, my God. It's true, oh my god there's
Starting point is 01:23:05 a lot going on it's a really really good was he trying to trick us by matt perhaps he wanted to make it as if he was santa and we'd be like well if we don't answer this question santa who we definitively know is real yes we'll think we're being naughty and they'll take us off his his nice list and we won't get any prezzy's this year i want my prezzy then he hasn't changed his name in the header. Yeah. So we've seen through your trick. There's a lot going on here.
Starting point is 01:23:28 A lot going on. Anyway, I don't know if people actually want the answer. It's more the, it's a lot of intrigue behind that email. It's the intrigue, isn't it, right? There's a whole movie based around this. This is like that safety not guaranteed movie, you know? Exactly. It's a little thing that spawned a whole cool indie movie where at the end he is a time
Starting point is 01:23:44 traveler. Yeah, not to spoil it, but he is a time travel not to spoil it but he is a time travel or he was vaporized he was maybe vaporized in a exploding yeah contraption to i guess to answer that question i do like them except when you get to the third black widow trailer right yes and then you're like what am i you're really reaching because it's just like different angles of her in the white cat exactly like what is this this is looks this frame looks like the comics so i've stopped doing that yeah right and also it's definitely diminishing returns because a
Starting point is 01:24:09 million people do them now yeah and i don't think my perspective is that unique unless i do something insane yes and then people either love that or hate it so no i'm not sick of them yes but i'm not i wouldn't say i haven't thought about there not being any either to to be honest. So no, like when the Eternals trailer eventually drops, I'd be really interested in kind of talking about that and the Batman. So there are ones, but I'm not interested when the New Mutants comes back to cinemas and they release another trailer. Like I'm not going to look at that. When James Bond comes back, there's a James, like I used to do, you know,
Starting point is 01:24:40 I did the Spectre trailers, but now I wouldn't do the trailers because I just don't think it's that interesting anymore. It's the same with Easter egg videos because, again, there's a million people doing them and there's a million people who now do them much more seriously than me. Santa egg videos. I could do Santa egg, yeah. I could.
Starting point is 01:24:59 I think a lot of times- I should have said Christmas egg videos, but Santa egg. Santa lays eggs. Santa lays eggs because he's a monster, yeah. But, yeah, I think a lot of the time said Christmas egg videos, but Santa lays eggs. Santa lays eggs because he's a monster. But, yeah, I think a lot of the time with Easter egg videos and trailer breakdowns, a lot of times people just want a list of things that are happening now. And I sort of do that, but mine are. The passion's gone for just listing things.
Starting point is 01:25:16 Yeah, probably, yeah. I've said this to you in private, but if we want a video that is 10 million views, you just get a thing and you just list all. Yuki goes, like when we talked about It Chapter 2, we talked about Tim Curry. Yeah. We scrolled through his IMDB page. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:34 If we just were like Tim Curry and then it's just a clip of him in every role he's been in, the name of the movie, the rule, the role, 10 million views. Yes, absolutely. Royalty-free backing track behind it. We'd make a million dollars. That sounds like work. Yeah, and it's not fun.
Starting point is 01:25:51 It's not fun, is it? So anyway. We could do funny voices, couldn't we? People don't want that. We could not see the movies that he's in and we could just be like, we could assume what his character says. My name's Johnny, Rocky Picture Show. I haven't seen it.
Starting point is 01:26:11 I'm having a real Rocky Picture Show right now. Those are my favourite comments and it's always like, I can't believe you didn't mention and then it's like a thing that's really obvious. And oftentimes though it's something that I'm like, I nearly mentioned it but I didn't because I didn't think anybody would care. But I guess this one guy cares deeply about this thing. And oftentimes, though, it's something that I'm like, I nearly mentioned it, but I didn't because I didn't think anybody would care.
Starting point is 01:26:26 But I guess this one guy cares deeply about this thing. And good on him for giving it a watch and a like and a thumbs up. Well, that's true. And I also love comments, people telling me why Mace Windu is the only one who can crush Grievous, which I'm still, I got like five comments on that today. Did you really? And again, you have the app now that tells,
Starting point is 01:26:43 when everybody gets in touch, it leaves a comment. I should delete it because I'm getting sassier. I've noticed. Because I've also got a lot of comments that are like, actually, you remember last week, right? No, I don't. How we talked about Boba Fett and he has the mustache? James, I remember two things.
Starting point is 01:27:00 This episode's too long. When I was a child and right now. And I don't remember anything else in between. Because we mentioned that Boba Fett with the mask off, he's got a little mustache. And it could be Inspector Rex. It could be Inspector Rex, yes. But it turns out it's a different actor.
Starting point is 01:27:13 And Collings, who edited that video, was kind enough to point that out to me. I see. And said, people are going to mention this. I said, don't worry, I'll mention it in the intro. So then people will be like, well, they mentioned the intro, so I'm going to make the mistakes. But I still be getting comments like, well, well actually did you know the actors were it was
Starting point is 01:27:27 actually a different actor it's not the same and then they name the thing that i said at the start of the video so i've just been commenting yes i said that at the start of the video right yes the thing that you said i also said so you've had a little bonding moment a little bit that's really cool and to be fair some people like are like, oh, yeah, sorry. And, you know, some people are just like, fuck you. But here's the thing. What if you miss some of those comments, James? You can't delete the app.
Starting point is 01:27:53 No, I really can't. Yeah. Anyway, that's the show. I've got to stop doing this. Okay. You know what I mean? Yeah, I get it. Thank you, everybody, so much for listening.
Starting point is 01:28:00 Yeah. I hope everybody's doing all right out there. I hope everybody's not going too insane. Yeah, me too. Or not insane at all. That would be good also. I like that idea. all right out there. I hope everybody's not going too insane. Yeah, me too. Or not insane at all. That would be good also. I like that idea. Don't go insane.

Starting point is 01:28:56 And the subject line is, bring back Creed's incredulous Aussie coach. Oh, I remember that guy. He's a character that you did at one point. Character is always very generous. It's true. It's a thing that you did at one point. Character is always very generous. It's true.
