Visit planetbroadcasting.com for more podcasts from our great mates Welcome back everybody to another episode of the Weekly Planet Where we talk movies and comics and TV shows My name is James, also known as Mr. Sunday. With me as always is my co-host Nick Mason. Hello there. Great. This is a rare daytime recording for us.

It is, that's right. Yeah, we might have to do more of these at the moment because... Nighttime doesn't exist in Australia anymore. No, they've gotten rid of it. They banned it. They banned it. They found people protesting during the night time, so they banned night time.

So now we're just... Pretty clever when you think about it. Very clever, right? We hope if you are out there protesting or whatever you're up to, please stay safe, obviously. Keep that distance. Keep that distance. Do what you can.

You know what I mean? Good luck to everybody. We've linked to a few things on our social medias, haven't we? With regards, just information and resources. That's right, yeah. Stay safe. Stay cool. Stay cool.

Well, that's more important, isn't it? Yeah. If you've gotten the choice between staying safe and staying cool, you better stay cool. You know it. This is going to be an all- Get that fedora. Down low. I'm doing it.

No, I see. So this is an all-news episode. I'm a bit pressed for time. Got a lot going on. So do you, Nick Mason. And so, yeah, just all news all the time. Yeah, that's right. Well, the news never stops.

That's where we're at. I mean, it's slow, certainly. Yeah, certainly does. But what we do then is we pad. We pad for time. We pad for time. But I don't know if we can. Some would argue we're doing it now.

I technically have to be somewhere in 42 minutes. We can't do that much padding. All right. This is definitely going to go over. So the first news we're going to kick off with this week is Godzilla vs. Kong. It's officially been given a rating. Two thumbs up. Oh,

that's great. No rating of PG 13. And people like, I don't want this kiddified version of Godzilla versus, is there an R rated Godzilla or Kong movie? I don't think there's ever been one. It's just, just,

just Godzilla and Kong effing and Jeff and all about the place. That's right. And I've, I've seen some, some comparisons made to like Kong Skull Island. That's a very violent movie, but it's also PG-13 because it's just like CGI animals beating each other with sticks. So it's okay.

What do people want? In the American rating system, what's next after PG-13? Is it R? It's R, yeah. Yeah, right. What do you want there? What do I want? I guess because like when you think of like movie series or video game series or whatever, I guess you want there? What do I want? I guess because when you think of movie series or video game series or whatever,

I guess you want better special effects and more resolution and that sort of stuff. More resolution like character resolution. Character resolution, exactly. You want those arcs to finally be finished. You want Godzilla and Mothra to finally hug. But I guess do you want people being killed in ever more horrifying high definition? Is that it? Do you want people being squashed by Godzilla and just eyeballs,

eyeballs, eyeballs ooze out from between his toes? Yeah. I don't think so. I don't want that either, but yeah, I mean, what do people want that you cannot be delivered in PJ 13?

I just don't know. I think there's room for that in horror movies of this nature. If you would like to do like a Cloverfield, is that an even R rate? It might not even be. I don't think it is. Maybe a Cabin in the Woods or something, like a Fantastical Creatures.

But yeah, I don't know. It also makes sense because who's going to be seeing these movies? Teenagers probably. Oh my God, my favourite childhood character, Godzilla is going to fight my favourite childhood character. He's going to be effing and jeffing just like I, a teen, do. That's right. When I was a kid, I loved the classic movie King Kong 2005.

That's right. And now he's back for more adventures. So that's good, I think. Still out for November 2020. That could change at any point, any time, for any reason. The reason being, though, the coronavirus, obviously. Yes. Not any reason.

That would be the reason. That's the main number one reason, yeah. Unless, no, James, you're discounting the idea that maybe a worse reason will happen. Oh, yeah. Because there's so many bad things keep happening this year. What's going on? We're just trying to reach peak bad thing. So we're not there.

And we've done it. No, because we're doing this podcast, James. Oh, you got us. Yes, I got us. You got us. Peak bad thing. Speaking of peak bad things. Yes.

Actually, no, I'm going to hold off on that. Maybe do the peak bad thing. It was this podcast. Bad Things. Yes. Actually, no, I'm going to hold off on that. Maybe do a big bad thing. It was this podcast. That's a reference. The kids love Chris Isaac. Chris Isaac, 1999. He's effing and jeffing like the teens.

The tie into the movie, eyes wide shut. Yeah. I think I've mentioned this before. My favourite comic book run of all time is Starman, which is from the 90s. You've mentioned this before. My favourite comic book run of all time is Starman, which is from the 90s. You've definitely mentioned that, yeah. And there's a point where the titular character, he points out that he's not cool because he's no Chris Isaac. And I'm like, wow, that's the only thing that dates this.

Not that I don't love Chris Isaac. I do. Yeah. I'm just saying. Just saying. Yeah, absolutely. Who would it be now? Would it be Psy?

Psy. That's who we always go to. It would be Psy, yes. The coolest guy in the world so it is a question for you i'm ready more or less alien movies more always more what if i said prequels yeah always more wow okay because again it's a it's a horseshoe effect yeah it's if what happens is we get increasingly worse prequels and then it just loops around and then we get increasingly worse prequels, and then it just loops around, and then we get a good one set now, I think. This is what happens.

That would be another even prequel. That would be an even prequel. Aren't the ones that are set now the Alien v. Predator movies? They're not now now, because they were hot at the time of Chris Isaac. I don't know. I'm lost. I'm lost in this dumb thing that I've said.

Just give me the answer so we can move on. No, no. The answer is whatever you want it to be. If you want more Alien prequels, that's good. Because Ridley Scott is talking about a follow-up. Because he's done your Prometheus. He's done your Alien Covenant. We're coming out of the backs now.

So this will be a sequel to those movies. Yes. It wouldn't be set before those movies. No. Okay, right. Did you like Alien? We're coming out of the backs now? Yes.

Talk about it. Maybe. Remember they're like smoking on planets and inhaling mushrooms that give them alien diseases? Oh, yes, that's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Cool, cool, cool movie.

Anyway, this is what he said. What I thought about when I was making it, the first one, as in Alien 1979. Yep. Why would a creature like this be made and why is it travelling in what I thought was always some kind of warcraft, which was carrying the cargo of these eggs? What was the purpose of the vehicle and what was the purpose of the eggs?

That's the thing to question who, why, and for what purpose in the next idea, I think. Wasn't the idea behind those eggs also that they were like thousands of years old? They're like, this is a very old ship. Yeah, I guess so. I was always under the impression that, yeah, it was a sort of a, they were a sort of a, because I had the aliens technical manual back in the day. I was always under the impression that, yeah, it was a sort of a, they were a sort of a, because I had the Aliens technical manual

back in the day. I was always under the impression that, yeah, they were a bioweapon. The idea was you deliver them to a planet and then they just destroy everything. Which they do elaborate on in Covenant. Well, I feel like this is, I feel like he's asking a question that the mythos he has built has answered that already. Yeah.

What, the Michael Fassbender made them? Yes. For making trouble. It does make a lot of trouble, doesn't it? It does make a lot of trouble. is built has answered that already. Yeah. What? The Michael Fassbender made them? Yes. For making trouble. It does make a lot of trouble, doesn't it? It's a lot of trouble. During the original Alien, you know how to make those sets look bigger. They put kids in spacesuits and had them walk around. Oh, I see.

Right. That's fun, isn't it? Anyway, I guess if they're going to do more, fine, another prequel. Yeah, right. You don't want to do the sequel with Ripley and Hicks? Like the real Alien 3? Like we just got the real terminator 3 big success so why can't we just do that again good question bigger success that's interesting

that that we that a lot of franchises now again are doing the ignore the previous stuff we'll just do a reboot halloween just we'll just move it along it's interesting that alien has yet to do that because we very well could i mean they're not all in canon because some of the some of the vp movies but yeah you're right movies do do that now because you look at terminator dark fate for we very well could. I mean, they're not all in canon because some of the VP movies. But yeah, you're right. Movies do do that now because you look at Terminator Dark Fate, for example. You look at The Rise of Skywalker, it ignores the previous movie.

That's what movies do these days. So I guess more Alien prequels. I mean, they're dumb and that's interesting to me. I read an interview with Guy Pearce recently. Oh, where he was like, why did they make me do that? Was that the one that it was that one it was exactly that one but it was also he he did provide confirmation about why he was an old man mate like we've we've long suspected that he was in old man makeup in in the movies that he was

in because they were going to do a scene set in the past where he was a young man and yeah and you know forming his company or whatever and apparently apparently it was, I think it was because, and I'll look this up later, but I think it was because he was going to have a scene on a yacht, but they couldn't make a decision on what kind of yacht or they couldn't acquire the yacht in time. I think it was also, it was a virtual reality situation because, you know, Michael Fassbender comes and talks to him

through the pod and that was going to be like, he was going to be a young man in a virtual environment. So I think that's what you're referring to. Yeah. But they eventually did do that scene at the start of Covenant where he's like, David, I've made you play the piano or I'll kill you. They did too. That's right.

Yeah. Yeah. But apparently there was a yacht involved. That's all I'm saying. That's good. Yeah. That's why I like movies because you can get a yacht sometimes. Exactly right.

Yeah. That's what I'm there for. Yeah. God, imagine the luxury these days of like, just you had to choose between different yachts. They're pretty crazy, right? The problem is with these movies, I feel like with The Last Terminator as well, don't make them for $200 million because you don't need to.

Yeah. You don't need to. That's right. Anyway, The Hollywood Reporter, they're coming out hot with some news. Batwoman is going to feature a new character in the shoes of Batwoman. They're not going to replace Ruby Rose's character. They're going to replace the character of.

Yes. How do you feel about this show that we haven't seen going in this direction? I love it. There's enough Batwoman where you'd be like, yeah, enough different characters you could bring in. That's right. I mean, I'm sure the premise of the show hinges on the central conflict between this particular character and the-

And her sister, I think. Her sister, I think also. But maybe this new character has a sister also. Yeah, it's like, do you remember when Charmed lost one of the sisters? They found a new sister. And it was fine, wasn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wasn't it?

Probably. They kept making at least one season of that show, so that's where we're at. And again, you know, TV shows have weathered weirder changes before, you know? Yeah. Two and a half men, obviously. Yes.

Wonder Woman, they just moved her into the modern day and they were like all her friends are the same though. We talked about Bewitched recently and something. That's right, New Darren. New Darren. Yeah. So that's, yeah, these are all good examples. And they're an assortment of, you know, other,

and if you want to keep it as a female bat family. There's so many you could pick from. That's the thing. I mean, assuming they're going to still call it Batwoman, then you just, you could, you promote one of the Batgirls or there's, you know, you put a Robin

in and she takes over the role of Batwoman. Absolutely knows? Absolutely. There's so many ways you could do it. I guess also this leaves the door open for a cameo in an upcoming crisis. Yeah, and also, you know, it may also be that she's taking a season off. Something we didn't mention when we heard that she was leaving, apparently she had quite a severe back injury.

Yeah. Did someone die or get really severely injured as well, like another person? And again, that's why they had to replace a Darren. He had a back injury. Did he? Yes. Did he do a flip? He did a flip.

That's an agent who flips. That's the kind of show, is it, where you need to do a flip? Absolutely not. You're right. You're dead on right there. So, yeah, look, in all honesty, I like when they try and keep the continuity when they swap out a character. Yeah, right, exactly.

What I like about MASH, the original series, is that whenever a character would leave would they would acknowledge that they had left and they bring in a new character that's completely different from that person and i think that's they replaced radar with sonar but you know like frank burns leaves and he's like an incompetent muppet of a surgeon yes and they bring in the best surgeon there is and he's a better surgeon than all the other surgeons. So, like, you can add a different element. All the other characters hated him and then he was killed. Yes.

No, he went on to be Martian Manhunter. Oh. David Ogden Steers. David Ogden Steers, yeah, yeah, right. So that's exciting, isn't it? That's very exciting. Yeah. So are you familiar with Josh Boone, director of The New Mutants?

I mean, no, not overly familiar. You know that he's done this. He's, director of The New Mutants? I mean, no, I'm not overly familiar. Yeah, sure, sure. He's talking about making more New Mutants. Wow. And here's the quote. Ultimately, after all this time, I was able to make my New Mutants film, and I am proud of it. What I'm hoping for now is that it will be successful enough

so the studio will allow me to complete a trilogy. I've got it all planned out. Good for him. Yeah. Yeah. It would be cool if this was a good movie, right? I would love it if this was a good movie. I've got it all planned out. Good for him. Yeah. Yeah. It would be cool if this was a good movie, right? I would love it if this was a good movie. It would be really nice.

Yeah. I like that confidence. I don't know whether it's going to happen. Do you think he's trying to get some traction to be like people will like it and then they'll push Disney to be like this is the thing that we want to keep seeing? Yes. Because, you know, that's the deal now, isn't it? Fans yell at companies.

Fans yell, yeah. But that's the deal now isn't it fans yell at fans yell yeah but that's the thing also have we are we at currently are we at peak fans yelling at studios like i've had a gutful well i think they've probably had a gutful but also at this point it would just be noise there's so many tweets from directors being like well i didn't get to make what i wanted to make and they didn't let me hire who i wanted to hire a bunch of suicide squad stuff this week. David A. talked about how the continuity of the movie is broken by Geoff Johns because it implicates Harley Quinn

in the murder of Robin. But she wouldn't have been there because he got his teeth broken by Batman after that happened. And we see the creation of her and the teeth that he had before that. Oh, I see, right. I never thought about it because I didn't need to. But, yeah. Why would it ever come up in conversation or on a podcast?

I guess it could also, she could be implicated if she was the psychiatrist when it happened and she was associated to it that way. What did the Joker tell her? What did she tell the Joker or whatever? That's true, yeah. I'm fixing this movie. Sure are. It's on the fly.

Yeah, that's really good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so there you bloody go. I mean, when is New Mutants coming out, though? Do you know? No idea. Oh, my goodness. Do you love prequel, hot prequel gossip?

Yes. I think we've established that I do based on my love for hot prequel aliens from earlier, yes. So this is some DC news coming out of Heroic Hollywood. Okay. I'm just going to read this. Let's go for this. Evade them, okay.

Ah, it doesn't have to be evade them. I'll do some skimming. I'll get some words wrong. So you're going to willfully misrepresent whatever Heroic Hollywood is saying. That's right. Cool. You got a problem with that? No, I love it.

What are you, in the pocket of big Hollywood, big Heroic Hollywood? Yeah. Fair enough. After the surprise success of Wackin Phoenix award-winning Joker, Heroic Hollywood has exclusively learned there's going to be an attempt to pitch a Bane standalone film to DC executives. In a similar way to the Todd Phillips film, it could have offered a filmmaker the chance to explore the villain's psyche

in a character study, et cetera, whatever, that's just filler. A potential pitch for the film would have loosely been the Batman Vengeance of Bane story from the comics as a basis of the script and the plot would have introduced Bane to the DC universe, revealing that his tragic origin began before he was even born. Since Batman is the key to his motivation and across that arc, Batman could coexist in the film and even have a looming presence over Gotham City and maybe he'll show up in a future movie,

et cetera. Do you think Bane's like a popular feeling where people would be like, yeah, I'm on a Bane prequel movie? Yes. Wow. There you go. You heard it first. I know, though, because that's the thing.

Again, it's that thing where if you don't tie Batman in, if Batman doesn't make an appearance, what is he really? He's a guy and he injects a lot of drugs and it makes him strong, except if we're doing it by Joker rules, maybe he doesn't even inject any drugs that makes him strong. Maybe he's just a guy who had a bad childhood and he had to escape from a well or whatever. No, a fridge.

You should call it the kid. It's a fridge. Oh, it's a fridge. The kid who had to escape from a well or a fridge. Do you think it's too soon to be looking at Bane Origins since we got one, I guess, eight years ago now? Oh, we did too, didn't we? Yeah.

I mean, that's a different Bane. And again, there's Joker movies every 14 minutes. So I guess it doesn't really matter, does it? I don't know. I just think it's, is this the one? You know what I mean? Anything can work. Yeah, because I've never felt particularly enamoured

by the Bane origin. Again, he's just a- The most interesting thing is that he broke Batman that one time. Exactly, right? Yeah. And he just came out of nowhere because they needed a new – Cool dude. A new cool dude to do that, exactly.

That's right. That's right. I mean, that's the splash page when he shows up. He's like, I'm the new cool dude. Whoa, we're just in time. We're looking for something like you, actually. It's really good that you're here. Yeah, that's right.

Yeah, okay. Oh, my God, he's doing an Ollie. You really are the new cool 90s dude. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I think, who knows, there's been a lot of rumblings of what a Warner Brothers is going to do next with potentially off the back of Joker. Is this the idea that villains are more interesting than heroes?

I wonder if that's the... I don't subscribe to that. No. I'm not saying they aren't. Yeah, right. Some of them, or they can be, obviously. Maybe a Mr. Freeze origin would be more interesting, but then what about if you did a movie?

Hit me up. Stop me right there. You've struck gold. What if they did a movie? What if they did your heart of ice Mr. Freeze, but you do it from his perspective and Batman's inadvertently involved, you know? Like you see Bruce Wayne and he's like, good job, Mr. Freeze,

before you're Mr. Free, Mr. Fries, which is how he says it as well. And you do it from that perspective and you do a character study where it doesn't have to be a universe where Batman isn't there or doesn't exist yet. Maybe he does, but the focus of the movie is not that okay sure like it's like a side tale you know you get like a gotham police department comic or whatever you know it's like central yeah central yeah exactly i mean i guess but also i don't necessarily the the thing being is if it's just you know the heart of ice storyline from the from

the cartoon yeah and we're just seeing a live action version of that yeah and maybe i'm just and and that if i'm watching that i'm just in it for like the stylistic elements of like what is what does mr freeze look like what does his helmet look like what does his gun look like you got a big suit that sucks up diamonds or exactly but but it's but that's not necessarily it doesn't innovate it's not fresh kind of thing. But if they go, okay, well, we'll take that origin and we'll make it even better Joker style, I don't think you will because I think that's kind of the definitive origin for Mr. Freeze. Yeah, okay, yeah, fair enough. Because Mr. Freeze isn't, he's not a guy whose society, you know,

he's not a man who lives in a society, you know what I mean? I mean, he does live in a society. I mean, he lives in a society, but he doesn who lives in a society. You know what I mean? I mean, he does live in a society. I mean, he lives in a society, but he doesn't live in the society. But do you think that's what they're looking for? More men who are living in the society? That made a billion dollars, didn't it? Yeah, it did. Yeah.

But I don't know. I don't know if you can just replicate that. I guess maybe if you lean it towards, well, this is what capitalism did. It put his wife in a cryogenic tube and then he was covered in icy goo. Yeah. Yeah. But now he's striking back against capitalism with a freeze gun. With a freeze gun, exactly.

Yeah. Yeah. I guess what I'm talking about, like a movie that's tangentially linked to Batman. Yeah, right. Is Birds of Prey. That is the Suicide Squad. So they're already kind of doing it, I guess, aren't they, anyway? To mixed results, yeah.

Yeah. To mixed results. Hot. Yeah, to mixed results. Hot stuff. Hot stuff. Do you love... But that's the thing, I guess, is that they also went, okay, let's get one of our most popular supporting

characters, Harley Quinn. Let's put her in our own movie. Let's see how that goes. And not financially... For a variety of reasons yeah not as financially successful no as as suicide squad or what have you and so the end result they they never seem to ask why did it was it not successful they only say well it wasn't yes so we're not doing this again yeah i think it's largely marketing for that movie oh yeah definitely because what was it even what it even what did it look like? Oh, you're preaching to the choir, James.

Yeah, did you see the director of that came out and made some very subtle remarks about how maybe they tweaked that movie more than she would have liked? To make it more comedic? I don't know. Because she was very vague. It's good we have all the information.

And she might not have even been talking about that. She might have been talking about a different project, but I'm presuming that that's what it was actually about. Oh, my goodness. Am I still preaching to the choir? No, you've lost me. Well, I think that's something that's going to pull your eye back in. Okay.

Because this is via Murphy's Multiverse. I love it. Thank you. First of all, whoever you are, Murphy, I presume. Yep. I love your website. And the different dimensions you inhabit i guess so yeah i hope that the logo is just like it's it's your fairly standard issue nerd but he's wearing

different logo t-shirts yeah right and it's just there they exist in like a like some sort of multiversal helix or something like that but he's in one he's wearing a marvel t-shirt the others wearing a dc t-shirt that's cool that wearing a DC t-shirt. That's cool. That's pretty cool, right? They're the only two dimensions. He said, Evan Peters is joining WandaVision in a key role. Evan Peters, who you might know, played Quicksilver in some of the X-Men movies. Oh, yeah, that's right. He's the character that they get in to do something,

but then he either is busy so he can't contribute to the rest of the movie or he gets injured somehow. That's right. Yeah. And speculation is running rampant because WandaVision is all about jumping dimensions, et cetera, so forth. Is he going to play, be playing a version of Quicksilver and they somehow create or jump over to a dimension?

Yeah, right. The X-Men dimension. Is this the thing that finally introduces the X-Men? No. Briefly, maybe. Briefly, maybe. I think there's definitely a chance that they could hop over to that universe. Yeah.

Or maybe just go, this is a universe that Wanda briefly created in her mind and then destroyed. And that's the entire X-Men universe wiped out. I mean, again, we're in a world of possibilities. It could also be, you know, it could be she briefly goes into that dimension and then energies from the dimension leak into the regular dimension. And she's like, stop, but it's too late.

Mutants. Yeah. Yeah. But I don't think this means he's going to come over as the new Quicksilver with the old Quicksilver. No. Or anything like that. That'd really be doing Aaron Taylor Johnson dirty if they were like.

I don't think he even wants to come back. I think he's like, I'm done with that. I'm busy just thinking about that Godzilla movie I was in. That's right. Yeah, yeah. That's what he's all about these days. Why wasn't it an R? Why wasn't it an NC-17 Godzilla movie?

I just wanted, the way I wanted to die is just my eyeballs squirting out from between Godzilla's toes. That's right. That's exactly right. I got done dirty. Yeah. That's one of the shows I'm really looking forward to. I know they're also talking about that all of these shows seem to be going

back into production like this and Falcon and Winter Soldier and all of those. They're ramping up again. And they also mentioned that Falcon and Winter Soldier, if it gets a second season, which, yeah, it almost certainly will, they're going to retitle it. So it won't be the Falcon and Winter Soldier. It'll be like two Captain America boys or whatever it becomes you know so yeah or the falcon and captain america or a captain america and a oh i get it whatever whatever they end up doing or bucky's dead now and it's just captain america

or falcon and winter soldier brackets they still haven't decided they're still fighting over it parentheses the shield. Parentheses. It's a metaphor for the role of Captain America. It's just symbolic. But it's also literal. It's a literal shield. You have to have it if you're Captain America.

I mean, you know, you're Steve Rogers. Yeah. But he's not here, is he? Not here. He's in a retirement home being like, I don't know what he does, to be honest. Just being content. Just being content. Just being content.

Nice. Last bit of news. This has got to be short, isn't it? That's all right. Is it? Look, man, I'm tired. I'm sorry. You've got to go do baby stuff.

I understand. I understand. Don't worry. Maybe we'll come back and maybe we'll record something for this later, but maybe not. Okay. Maybe this will be it. So DC Comics has cut ties with Diamond Distributors. Oh, yes.

So they are, of course, the company which had the monopoly on all of the distributing of comics, pretty much. They do all the image, all the Marvel, everything. They ran a lot of publishing houses out of business, didn't they? They're like the mob, but for publishing, yes. And now they're like the mob as in they've been taken over by far cooler criminal organisations. Is that what happened to the mob?

I think so. I think they're still just the mob. Yeah, but I don't think they're – like they're not hip and cool anymore. I think, you know, you've got your Sopranos and that's great. Like that's good stuff. And then you've got some Australia mob stuff where it's just a bunch of Melbourne pricks killing each other, which they tried to make a big deal of.

But, you know, if these 12 fuckwits want to kill each other, that's fine. I'm okay with that. What a tale. What a story to tell. Just fuckwits shooting each other. Anyway, sorry. I think what happened there is they committed to, like,

five seasons of that. Yeah. And then they realised they only had one decent story to tell. And it's not a bad story, to be fair. So what else i gotta say so yeah so basically dc have cut ties and they're now going with lunar distributions and ucs comic distributors for periodical releases and penguin random house for graphic novels and collected editions so they're putting their eggs in different baskets that's going to start later this month

uh diamond will be fulfilling orders placed through June 1st. Uh-huh. And then that's it. Unless they decide to, you know, hold them back for some. Yeah, absolutely. Like the mob would. I don't know if they can. Maybe they will. But the mob's not cool anymore.

Haven't I established that already? You've very much established it, yes. I hope there's no one listening in the mob and being like, I'll show you what's cool. And they come to my house and, what's a mob thing? Horse head in the bed? But if they did the horse head in the bed, I'd be like, we've seen this.'s cool. And they come to my house and, what's a mob thing? Horse head in the bed? But if they did the horse head in the bed, I'd be like, we've seen this. We've seen it so many times.

But then maybe it's just a classic. Maybe a horse body without the head. I'd be like, okay, you're mixing it up. But I've thought of that now. So if I see that, I'm not going to be impressed. Maybe like a completely de-skeletonized horse. Like it's just a sack of horse. You're like, how do you even do that?

Wow. Wow. The mob's cool again. Yeah, right? Yeah. So I think. i think later you get the skeleton like maybe it's been assembled in your living room you're like wow so the um i think dc were blindsided by them not being able to fulfill these things because comic distribution through a pandemic that's something that can still very much happen, I'd imagine.

Yeah. You know, because, I mean, I know you still need hands, boots on the ground to get it done. Yeah, yeah. But you can still do digital stuff and all that. I'd imagine DC were very upset if they're cutting ties to make this move. So this is a pretty big deal and I think it's probably for the better. I think so too, yeah.

Maybe in the long run. But I don't know. I've never known. What do you know? Also nothing. You threw to me like I would know anything. That's amazing. You are. You do have baby brain. Like what's this guy know? Is there any other news or are we just going to jump over? Let me find out. Let me check real quick. What I'll do is I'll check the Planet Broadcasting Great Mates Facebook group

because they're often way ahead of the curve. You want some hot tops? Do you want some hot tops? Exactly. It's a great group. If you want to jump in, please do. Please do. You know what I mean?

Do director's cuts make better films or video? That's in there. In summary, sometimes. Sometimes they do. There is an article here that mentions posters by Tommy Gillies talked about how 90% of theatres are expected to open for Christopher Nolan's Tenet, which could end up resulting in the movie actually being released.

But also a lot of the major heavily populated areas like your LAs and your New York might not be part of that 90%. So it's still, I saw another article, which means that that might not go ahead because even though it's still I saw another article which means that that might not go ahead because even though it's 90% you need those key

cities to kind of to make this work so yeah so there's still very much I've seen multiple articles this week

that are like Tenet's definitely coming out and it's like don't hold your horses hold your horse skeletons don't hold your horses I would say

WTS oh here's one for you. Yeah. This is from earlier in the week. Upgrade TV series sequel to Lee Whannell's sci-fi movie In the Works at Blumhouse. What do you recommend about that, James, as an idea, as a concept? Yeah, co-created, executive produced by Whannell

and Tim Walsh from Treadstone. Very exciting stuff. So there's a show on it. This is from Deadline. So you know this is just the raw story, James. Hot stuff. Very exciting. In the writer's room, which is breaking stories

and writing scripts for Upgrade's first season, Whannell and Walsh are joined by writer-producers Crystal Ziv-Houghton and James Rowland who are in the second season of Blumhouse's TV USA Network horror series The Purge, also an offshoot from a Blumhouse movie title. So that's very exciting. Yeah, absolutely.

I wonder, because again, I liked Upgrade a lot, but it's a one and done, isn't it? Is it a continuation? I can't really tell. I think it is. I believe that- Without spoiling, we might spoil Upgrade here for a second, in a second.

The system, the Upgrade, I think is supposed to jump to a different person. Oh, right. I believe that's the idea. I think I saw that in some of the things. Okay. So maybe does it use up the previous host and then it has to move? Potentially, yeah.

Okay, right. It runs a bloody ragged mate. Yeah, that's right. And then moves on. That's really interesting. It could be a quantum leap style, but horrifying quantum leap. Yeah. It moves to another person's body and they have all sorts of personal problems

and they need to solve, but he just murders people. He just murders people, yeah. Moves to the next body. I think there's also enough in that universe where you could definitely continue it. Oh, yeah, and also, again, we had in that movie, we had a whole bunch of people who have different implants and cybernetic enhancements and stuff like that.

Exactly. Gun hands. Gun hands and such. So forth, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Now it's Weekly Planet After Dark.

Absolutely it is. Now it's a bit sexier. It is. It would be, except you've got a kid in the room., didn't we, Mason? Now it's Weekly Planet After Dark. Absolutely it is. Now it's a bit sexier. It is. It would be, except you've got a kid in the room. It's not very sexy, is it? No. You know, some people love this. Like a dad holding a baby, they're like, ooh, that's my jam.

Oh, that's true. I think you have to be a better looking dad, though. You have to be like a Jason Momoa or Ryan Gosling. Like a me, it's like, ugh. Wow. You know? We should test that as some sort of fun viral video. I think that would be, it'll be all like oh you know we should test that it's some sort of fun viral video i think that would be it'll be all like you know big big stinger title and all that sort of stuff would be like is this

dad sexy enough for you not to vomit when you see him it'll just be you out on the street it should be me struggling to fold up a pram or something like that yeah nice yeah yeah let's do it okay what are you doing after the show? I've got time for this. Yeah, but actually the good news is because we're able to take that break, we've put together a topic. That's right. I mean you would have probably known that from the title of the episode for this week. Let's keep it quiet for a bit.

Let's have the title be Just News, then people are blown away. They'll be like, hot stuff. Yeah, they won't. Won't people not click on it then? They might be like, yeah, I don't want to listen to this. How about I call it something like Fan Theory's Hot Stuff? Nice. I think people will be really into it.

Fan Theory's Hot Stuff, sexy dad. Okay. Perfect. So we've actually done this before, episode 234 or something like that. Collings was kind enough to send across a list of the ones that we did cover. So we did do The Joke from the Dark Knight is former military and E.T. is a Jedi. Kyle Reese is not John Connor's father, a bunch of things like that.

I don't think we did that Snowpiercer Willy Wonka one, but I feel like we need to mention it because I've been sent it quite a bit. And I have to watch that video to kind of explain it. We're not capable right now. I'm just not. I just can't do it, Mason. Yeah, so we've got a bunch of fan theories that we're going to run through. We put some up on patreon.com slash MrSundayMovies.

We put it up on Twitter and, of course, we put it up in the Facebook Great Mates group. What I like about a fan theory episode is some of them are like sort of well-known, established fan theories that are on the internet and people have made videos, like the Snowpiercer one. They've made essays, all this sort of stuff, blog and you know they've compared and contrasted with photos and video clips and they put them side by side and whatever and some of them are just people saw the call out and just are saying a random thing yes i really appreciate it i think it's their own head canon they're just like absolutely this is definitely the case just firing it off do you

want me to kick it off or would you like to look i've got one of the crazy ones from this is will shiel it says batman is actually a spirit or demon like ghost rider it just finds a new billionaire linking all the batman movies oh that's terrific i think that'd be very good oh my so they're just they're just no good billionaires regular no good billionaires yeah that's right and then does he kill their parents i guess it does right because it gets them young oh i was gonna i Because they've all lost parents. I see what you're saying there. The way when I saw it initially, this particular one,

my real thought was they're just existing billionaires. So it's like Elon Musk or whatever. He's just out there building his batteries and calling people pedophiles. And then all of a sudden he's just up in one of his penthouses and the Batman spirit goes into his head. And all of a sudden he's given the, he's given the origin story. Oh, okay. He's like, ah.

So he just thinks everybody calls him Bruce Wayne and all that, but he's not, but he's really just. But he's an eccentric billionaire, so people let him get away with it. Yeah, right. Cause they're like, yeah, he can do anything. He's not going to jail, is he? But I also like to think that that this, this spirit also like tortures them. Yes.

It keeps teaching them that it keeps reminding them that they're terrible billionaires. It's the bat, right? It's the bat crashing through the window. That's gotta be it, right? Yeah. It keeps teaching them. It keeps reminding them that they're terrible billionaires. It's the bat, right? The bat crashing through the window. That's got to be it, right? Yeah, yeah. I love that theory. That's so great. I've got one that isn't.

It's not similar. We're just going to rapid-fire these, I guess. Some will get caught on, but that's fine. It's from Marco on the Facebook group says, there was this theory that Doc Brown tried to commit suicide with the DeLorean, but it accidentally worked instead. Because, you know, everything that guy makes doesn't work. Oh, right.

We see that in the past. But then he's got the dog food machine. It's like some things do work. It's a dog food machine. And he's like, I tried to kill myself with a dog food machine, but I just kept being fed delicious dog food. Yum, yum, yum. There's the theory that also that mind reading device actually works because he kind of makes some vague approximations that might be accurate, but I think the idea is that none of his stuff really works.

But that would mean he attempted to kill his dog. Oh, that's wow. Well, you can't get away with that in a Hollywood movie, can you? No. You feed it with a dog food machine. Yeah, absolutely. I would like to see a – How old is that dog?

Like 20 plus? He goes back to 1955 and Back to the Future is set in like the mid-80s? Yes. He's like a 30-year-old dog. He's a very old dog. He's doing that right, isn't he? Maybe that's what the dog food machine does. It gives you an immortal dog.

That's right, yeah. I was going to say maybe the Back to the Future franchise could have gone in a whole different direction if they were like, all right, we're done with time travel, now it's it's mind reading helmet now it's like they're different every single every single movie they give it's a different wacky invention that sort of work they could call it let's get back to that mind reading helmet yes that's right yeah whatever the third one's just the dog food machine you know that dog food machine it's just that big business has stolen the dog food machine and it's going to make everybody's dogs immortal

and it's going to ruin the dog breeding industry, so they've got to stop it. I like the idea of a Back to the Future universe where it's the same characters but different inventions. I think that's really fun. I think it would be good. We're never getting a sequel until Robert Zemeckis dies. That's true.

When that happens. Fingers crossed, yeah. I mean, as soon as he's out of the picture, we're getting another one, right? Oh, immediately. Yeah. I reckon it's probably ready to go. I reckon maybe contracts have been signed behind his back and stuff. I think there's also a good chance that he'll be like,

I had a good idea and we're doing one anyway. It wouldn't surprise me. Yeah, right, uh-huh. I just wouldn't put anything off the table. Yeah. What else we got? It's a set on the Polar Express. Teaming up those universes.

Wow, your baby vomits really loud. Jeremy says, not sure if this counts, but I think the resolution for Mysterio being alive in the next Spider-Man movie will be that he's using a stunt double at the end of Far From Home. If Mysterio did use a stunt double, that would also cancel out Peter and murder him as well. If they proved that he was alive, that would get him off the hook. It wouldn't resolve his identity being revealed, but it would solve that.

Mysterio is definitely coming back in some form, right? I hope so. Because he's a team. He's not one guy. Yeah, right. Oh, I see. Even if real Mysterio, even if Quentin Beck dies. Yeah, because that machine can make anything.

That is true. Yeah. And all the team got away. All the team got away. Some of the team got away. Unless S.H.I.E.L.D. ran them all up and shot them. Yeah. Because they might have done.

Yeah, but they were run by a bloody Ben Mendo. He didn't know what was up, remember? That's probably true, yeah. He was like, I don't know what I'm doing. I'd hate being Nick Fury. Yeah. I've never shot a man in the back of the head. That's right, yeah.

So I'm on that one. You've got a lot to learn about being the head of S.H.I.E.L.D. Not wrong, not wrong. I also read a theory recently that Quentin Beck never actually worked for Stark Industries. He just snuck his way in. But I don't know about that. I mean, maybe it's some other guy who took over the identity of Quentin Beck.

That's exactly it, yeah. Who knows, really? It is exactly it. You're right, Jack. It's exactly it. I'm happy to say it. We also had a few theories that didn't kind of work out in the last one because it was like we had some end game theories because we did it before end game.

So we've got to be careful what we talk about because this will come back and bite us in the ass. People were like, you said that Quentin Beck was actually a robot or whatever we said, but we didn't say that. To be clear, we didn't say it and also we don't stand by anything we say. Yeah. Not even one thing. The people listening to this, you stand by anything we say. Yeah. Not even one thing. The people listening to this, you stand by what you say.

You're an idiot. Yeah. We got them. I'm just going to put this baby, put her in a little crib. Saying this to you earlier, but like a sleeping baby. There's like nothing that looks more comfortable. Oh, my God. Absolutely.

And people spend their entire life trying to recapture that kind of peace, just that blank mindset. Just chasing the dragon of a good night's sleep. Yeah. And you can't anymore because your body's all stretched out and warped from being old. That's right, and gravity and whatevs. Yeah, yeah, that's right.

You just need a memory foam and whatever. It still doesn't work. Because if you go to sleep thinking about literally anything that's happening in the world, you just wake up screaming. That's right. That's how everything's going. Yeah. How about this for a theory? I'm ready.

It's from Connor. A darker Star Wars theory is that Anakin accidentally, though I wouldn't say accidentally, I would say probably on purpose, using the Force to make Padme love him over the course of Episode 2. Because at the start, she's like, this guy's clearly insane. I knew him when he was a little kid it was weird it's weird now so just the idea that i had to take him to go potty that one time yeah that's right he shit his pants on the spaceship yeah he still does it now but i love him for some reason must be must be evil force magic but that makes sense because why would she like him he's insane and there's a moment where he's like, I murdered everyone.

She's like, I love you. Yeah. That's not right. That's absolutely not right. Oh, she did wake up. Yeah, she's giving me the evil eye. Mate, if you're going to wake up, you need to give us some content, all right? We're starting you early on content.

That's right. So this is going to cut out a number of them, but I thought it's worth mentioning. Sadok says, the main character was actually in a coma slash dreaming slash imagining. All of it, apply that to any story and you've got a fan theory. So that's like Joker gets in the fridge, the Breaking Bad that Walter White died in the car,

which we know not to be true because there is a sequel, unless that's also part of it, I guess. See, that's perfect. See, every single time. Aliens, Ripley, everything after Aliens is Ripley in a space dream. But what if everything before Aliens is also in a space dream? Oh, my God. Including AVP?

Yep. Great. Indiana Jones is actually a Han Solo fever dream when he's in Carbonite. So that's all of those. Indiana Jones, when he comes out of the fridge, everything after that is- Because he would have been incinerated he's dying of radiation poisoning he's just dragging himself through that fake city

and just melting and he's like oh but what if I had an adventure with it and I had a son I had a son and a legacy and I got married oh my god nah you're dead mate you died

you died if you died of rads not a good kind of rads yeah you're right that's there's a lot of that you can do that for anything really I really enjoy that What's that movie where it actually happens though, the Jude Law movie?

Alfie It could be Alfie, you can do it with anything I don't have cancer, I'm in balls I don't have cancer, I'm in bollocks What's the movie with him and Forrest Whitaker And it's like He gets, and earlier on he gets captured And then it turns out it was actually a dream.

I don't know. It's like an action movie. Alfie's an action movie. I mean action in terms of sexual action, sure. Oh, that's very true. Who are we talking about? Jude Law. Jude Law.

Is it the young Pope? Is it the new Pope? Isn't he in a coma in the new Pope at the moment? Repo Men. Oh, yeah. Remember that one? Vaguely. Oh, that's right.

Yeah. I hate a movie that's like, forget everything you knew because none of that, the movie Next, Repo Man. Yeah. There's a rom-com on the moment. The young Pope where he's in a coma. Yeah. Maybe it's all a dream.

Maybe the whole thing's been a dream. Maybe he was an old Pope the whole time. Maybe he was an altar boy the whole time. He just dreamed of being a Pope. He had like a horrible experience. Yeah. Okay. Fair enough. Maybe. How about this one? This one's been around quite a horrible experience. Yeah, okay, fair enough.

Maybe. How about this one? This one's been around quite a long time, and I think Chris Pratt is like, I love this one. Josh says, the kid that Sam Neill talks to at the beginning of Jurassic Park with a raptor claw grows up to be Chris Pratt's character in Jurassic World, and that conversation is why he learned to respect the raptors. That's right.

Isn't it the kid he's inexplicably quite rude to? Yeah, well, he hates kids. He's like, I hate kids, and this is how you'd be murdered. Yeah. That's right. Isn't it the kid he's inexplicably quite rude to? Yeah, well, he hates kids. He's like, I hate kids and this is how you'd be murdered. Yeah, yeah, right. And also, just FYI, all these dinosaurs would have feathers on them. So while you're being murdered, they look ridiculous, you look ridiculous. Yeah, exactly.

You better hope that the press do not get a photograph of you being murdered because it'll be splashed on the front page and you'll look like an absolute goose. This is one that I like a lot. I suspect we were going to do a moratorium on Willy Wonka stuff, but this is one I remember. Robert David has said, Willy Wonka was expecting to lose kids along the way.

His modes of transport get progressively smaller and the Oompa Loompa songs were choreographed, which I think is, both of those things are true. It's not only that he expected it, he knew when each one was going to do it. Right. Because it happens in the order of whatevs. Unless he's got like, I mean, you know,

he might have a, he's probably got like a brain for logistics. Maybe he's got a bunch of different modes of transport. Yeah. Maybe he's like, I never want to seem like I'm wrong. Maybe sometimes he's got like a paddle boat and it's got six seats in it but he can take some out yeah so if like three kids i just thought he had different paddle boats not even taking or maybe like what you know he loses more kids than he was expecting so like the paddle boat

comes out and it's got like a scarf and a bag on some of the yeah right yeah it's like oh someone someone's sitting there it's not i i know what i'm doing though yeah that's right i'm worried about it uh because he does it's very much like I'm doing now. Yeah, that's right. Don't even worry about it. Because he does, it's very much like fly by the seat of your pants. That's what it seems that he's doing. But he's clearly not. What's with that room where everything is like half a chair and everything? Why even build that?

What the fuck's wrong with you? I do like the theory that he's a Nazi scientist. Oh, yeah, that's a good one, yes. What about this one from Colin? This one I really like. The vat the Joker fell into was a chemical attempt at a Lazarus pit, and that's why he keeps coming back and is crazy. Oh, okay.

Yeah, right. Because after he falls in that, his mind snaps. Everybody knows the rough origin. But what if it's not just that? Because everybody who comes out of the Lazarus pit is crazy for a bit. It's not good. Yeah. But unless it's a very poorly made one and so he's crazy forever.

Because they put bleach in it. They put bleach in it. They're like, this isn't anywhere near the top. I don't know. Let's just put a ton of bleach in it. Somebody peed in it and they're like, well, what do we do? What happens when you pee in a pool? It puts bleach as a bleach.

Okay, yeah, cool. Cool. So I quite like that theory. They put in an aquarium cleaner. So the Joker in addition to being insane and a horrendous murderer, he also pees blue all the time. Oh. He can't help himself.

He's got a big fishy mouth, doesn't he? Yeah, that's right. Fantastic. What about this one? I think there's a chance that something like this will happen in a future Star Wars movie. It's from Steven on Twitter. Ben Solo gives his life essence to save Rey.

The dyad merged onto one person. That's partly why Rey's a Skywalker because she's both Rey and Ben's essence. That's why we don't see Ben Solo's ghost at the end of the movie. He kind of isn't dead. He resides within Rey. I think he's such a fan favorite character that when they eventually do sequels to these movies, and they will, they will bring him back in some form. Also, they've established time travel in the Star Wars universe.

That's true, yeah. They can do that. But the idea of you could snatch a body out of any point in time and put his old mind in it from Rey. It's like Spock can put his mind in it. The Freejack theory. The Freejack-iverse. Exactly.

Because Spock, no, it's not the same universe. Mick Jagger. Mick Jagger. Mick Jagger. Emilio Estevez. That'sock, it's not the same universe. Mick Jagger. Mick Jagger. Mick Jagger. Emilio Estevez. That's right, yes. I know that from you. I'm freejacking this theory.

Everything I know about freejack is from you. I have no idea what happens in freejack, just from our conversations. But the idea that, I can't remember what I was going to say. Hijacking people's bodies. Yeah, it's in Star Trek. I know it's not the same universe. Or maybe it is because there's theories about there could be the same universe.

But, you know, Spock does it. He puts his mind in bones. But what do you think, I guess, if you wanted to do that, you would have to lay the, you wouldn't have to. You'd have to. I think it would be better if they laid the groundwork for a feasible way of doing that. Yeah.

Like at this point you could very easily say, I'm back as a Force ghost and, you know, I'm here to give you advice. But you would think that they want to bring him back mind and body. Right. So how do you do that? Do you use the cloning technology? Well, that's a good point. Yeah, you could.

Yeah, absolutely. And then he comes out like Snoke. He's just like, how do you like this? How do you like this, Ren fanboys? How do you like this awful gross man? What do youboys? I don't like it. This awful gross man. What do you reckon? I don't like it. You have to like it though.

I like it a little bit, yeah. I think a lot of Star Wars movies or movies in general are reactionary, so I think it could just be whatever. Yeah, right, uh-huh. Yeah, it's just whatever's popular when the next one comes out, I feel. Richard says, all 80s and 90s Arnold characters are clones using his DNA from twins. So every single, they're all like super soldiers that they just throw out to the field to do stuff. One's a kindergarten teacher.

You could also tie in twins in the sixth day. That was my next thing, yeah. Absolutely. You could be like, oh. I mean, that would also involve time travel because you clone them and send them back. But maybe it's existing technology from the Twinsiverse. Right. That's kind of, you know.

So that means they made the character from Junior where he's a doctor and pregnant. That means jingle all the way. They're just like, this one's a dad. Sure, yeah. Did they clone the kid or did they? I don't know, I guess. I don't know. I don't know.

Did they invent Turbo Man just so he had a mission in mind? I don't know. I would love Turbo Man just so you had a mission in mind? I don't know. I would love a- It's all the same universe. That means that all of these things like the Predator and Commando and I guess Conan is like an apocalyptic future or something. It's all the one universe and I love that. Or they're all the descendant of Conan the Barbarian maybe.

Like we don't like- Who knows how this system works? We really don't. And then you've got that, that weird future gladiator one. It's like, that would just be existing DNA that they, that they throw in and all those kinds of things.

I would watch a twins too, where Danny DeVito has been replaced by Arnold Schwarzenegger from the sixth day. So it's two aunties. One's, one's, one's a man on the run and one's just a man in a big beige suit. Okay. I got some questions about twins before we move on. Yes. They are going to make a sequel. It's called triplets and one's just a man in a big beige suit. Okay, I've got some questions about Twins before we move on.

They are going to make a sequel. It's called Triplets and it's going to have Eddie Murphy. That has been written. It has been confirmed that it's in the works at the very least. But I want a prequel that's just called One Guy and it's just Danny DeVito and he's just running scams. And he's always just looking around a bit like, ah! Okay. His catchphrase would bit like, ah. Okay.

His catchphrase would be like, who am I talking to here? I'm just one guy. This is from Ollie Robinson. Yep. This is one I like, and it's a movie that I also like, but whenever I rewatch the movie, I never think of it occurs to me to watch and think about it, so I've never been able to confirm it.

But maybe I'll do it later. Okay. Inception's ambiguous ending is an actually one. So in Inception, you know whether you're dreaming or not because you have a totem. Yes. And Cobb's one allegedly is a little spinning top he has. Yeah. And he spins it.

And if it stays up forever, he's in a dream. But if it falls over, he knows he's awake. Yeah. But the theory is that his totem is actually his wedding ring. Oh, I've heard this one, yeah. So in his dreams, he claims that he's still married. So if you see him wearing a ring, it's the dream, but he isn't wearing one at the end of the movie.

It's not ambiguous. He is, in fact, in the real world at the end of the movie. I think that might be on purpose as well. I think that might be something Nolan purposely built in. And it's also... Just ask him every time in an interview. That's what I'm talking about. Until he cracks.

He's not the fan who would entertain that because he- He's not endlessly on Twitter explaining the choices that he makes. Yeah, exactly. And he's funny. I feel like we make a lot of assumptions about Christopher Nolan. Because we don't know anything. We don't know what he's done. What's he done?

But the idea that he feels like the era of movie making he likes is the era where not everything was spelled out. Yes. And people would put things in movies or TV shows and just never explain them. And I feel like he's from that era where if you were like, hey, Christopher Nolan, is the totem really the thing? He'd be like, well, that's up to you.

And that infuriates people because the spinning top thing as well infuriates people because people are like, well, was he awake or not awake? And it's like, well, that's the point. There's no definitive. Like life, a lot of these things don't have a definitive ending. And you can choose to believe something and that's cool. So what I'm saying is he will never. And that's why I like this one as a theory so much.

I also like that because he's so paranoid about being trapped in a dream and people stealing his secrets and thoughts and whatever, that he tells everybody that that's his totem, knowing that he's got the backup one. Yeah, right. Good movie, I think. Not I think. It probably is.

That's right. You are making a stand right there. This one's a very popular theory about the thing. It's from Matthew. It says, Kurt. The whole thing was a popular theory about the thing. It's from Matthew. It says, Kurt. The whole thing was a thing's dream? Yes. It's crashed down.

It's like, boy, I hope I don't meet any mean men. With flame throwers. Yeah, I tell you what. If one of them tries to defibrillate me, I'm going to bite some heads off, I tell you that much. You know at the end when he hands him a drink, Keith David? Yes. Keith David.

The theory is, and this is very popular, that it's actually oil or petrol. Yes. And it says, thus the laugh he does is because he knows he's found the thing. So, yeah, I mean, there's no way. I don't think that was intended when they made it. No. But I think if they ever did a sequel, which they did in the video game. Oh, right, yeah.

But there was also talk that, I remember a few years back, that they were going to actually do a sequel with Kurt Russell and maybe they were, like, weathered from being caught in the snow for too long or whatever. But now with de-aging, I mean, you wouldn't because it would cost way too much and it wouldn't make money. But you could make a proper sequel and just be like, it's set right after.

I wish we lived in the golden age of Hollywood where the people would just make movies that didn't make any money. I know, right? The dream. I mean, it still happens by accident. Yeah, for sure. Where it's just like, throw it at the wall see what sticks you know maybe would you want a thing sequel yeah oh yeah i think it would be interesting if you if you could set it in the modern day say and the thing just went on to be i know pick a character the president the president

sure but like say kurt russell goes on to become a ceo and he's the thing like he kind of evolved yeah like well this is how i take over i become a billionaire exactly and that that that sort of shades of terminator dark fate yeah sorry to bring that up but i think it's a fine it's okay but yeah just the idea of like what do you you do if your immortal star ages? Yeah. You're right around it. Works for me. Old Arnie, we'd never seen it before, had we? Also a clone from Twins or something.

Yeah, that's right. Okay, I'm going to give you this one. All right. You're going to give it? Thank you. Thank you. You're welcome. Because I don't know any of the... This is a Harry Potter one, isn't it?

No, this is based on a movie that I've never seen, nor have I seen the musical that it was based on. So it's not the movie Freejack. It's not the movie Freejack, no. Maybe I haven't seen the movie Freejack. I don't know. Yeah, you don't know. It's about the movie Les Miserables.

So have you seen Les Miserables? I've seen all versions of that, yes. Have you really? Okay. All right. All right, well then. I've maybe read some of the book also. Only you can tell me how entertaining this fan theory is

because it's quite long as well. God. Cosette in Les Miserables is actually the child of Fantine and Jean Valjean. How? I don't know because I don't know who those characters are. Okay, I guess it's- You can cut this one out.

I'm just trying to torture you with this. It's possible, but they would have to have been in a relationship. Yes. Who are they? It's too much for me to explain it to you. Have you seen any of it? No. I can't explain it to you.

I'm just going to say, this is based in the song I Dreamed a Dream when Fantine says he was gone when autumn came, as this matches with the timeframe of Valjean's release from prison and then he's going into hiding. And the time jump between Valjean's release and the time we meet Fantine is the same age as Cosette. You know what? That's actually solid.

There you go. Because also he was a bad dude and God turned him around. It's like he was a thief and he hated everybody and whatever. Are we talking about Jackman or? All versions, really. No, I mean Jackman or who's the other actor in that movie? Russell Crowe. So it's not Russell Crowe.

No. John Valjean is Jackman. who's the other actor in that movie? Russell Crowe. That's not Russell Crowe. Jean Valjean is Jackman. Okay, right. Or Liam Neeson if you're talking about the non-musical version from the late 90s. I was. Great. What about this one? I like this theory.

This is from Josh and also Spencer. He's got kind of a follow-up one. A theory I love but don't believe is Ron Baldor, where Albus Dumbledore is a time-travelling Ron Weasley. Oh, yes. Right. Spencer follows that up by saying Dumbledore dies at some point and Ron Weasley uses the time turner in the future to go to the past

to become Dumbledore, which might explain also the shift. The act of change. The act of change. Right, uh-huh. I don't believe Ron is competent enough, a wizard, to do that. Right. But also. Yet, exactly. And the book version probably more so.

And there is alternate futures and timelines from the stage show, so it's not impossible, but I would say probably not. Okay, right. And also definitely not, until JK Rowling on Twitter is just like, yeah, whatever. She's the opposite of Chris Dolan. What will happen is she'll accidentally cut and paste a piece of a new manuscript of a new book into Twitter and accidentally tweet it at somebody. Yeah. So there you go. There's a bunch of Harry Potter ones, but I thought I got to pick at least one.

Do you like the show Friends, Mason? I love the show Friends. But do you prefer the show Friends or Seinfeld? Where do you stand on that? Seinfeld. No question. That's right. That's correct. I love the show Friends. Do you prefer the show Friends or Seinfeld? Where do you stand on that? Seinfeld. No question. That's right. That's correct. That's the right answer. I thought you were going to say do I prefer the show Friends or Friends or Rom the band?

That's a different question. It's a good band, isn't it? Americans out there, go to Spotify, look up the band Friends or Rom. Yes. You'll be pleasantly surprised. Franco on American. You've got to love it. That's no FX. That's no FX. Never had so much it. That's no effects. That's no effects. Never had so much fun.

That's a good sentence. Friends or Rob. There you go. Mahaley says, Phoebe is a – oh, I'm curious. Friends or Seinfeld people? Oh, yeah. I'm curious. Yeah, let us know.

Phoebe is actually – Well, we want to know what kind of crowd we got. Yeah, absolutely. Have we got a bunch of Joeys or have we got a bunch of Chandlers? One of them is Seinfeld the best side felt i think very true uh phoebe is actually a homeless drug addict looking in the window of central perk and imagining in the life of five friends and the one she would share with them this is another all the dream scenario yes she's been out there for a decade oh they snuck one in i didn't even notice

yeah well i know because she has had life on the streets and no troubles and she grew up an orphan and all of those kinds of things yeah i believe yeah, that's where we're at with that. Are you into it or you've been to it? We should have done a rating system. It's too late now, isn't it? Are you been to it? I think I've been to it. Yeah, it's too sad also.

It's very sad, isn't it? Yeah. Okay. This one we've talked about before, but why not? Jeweler says Tom Hardy Mad Max is Boomerang Kid Mad Max from Mad Max 2, the dog boy. So all the Mad Max movies appear to be set in different universes. Yes, exactly.

They're loosely connected and it's clearly supposed to be the same character, but George Miller is not really hung up on continuity or any of that, which I don't have a problem with because they all sort of stand on their own anyway. Would you like to see sequels to all the Mad Max movies, but just from their individual universes? So we've got a Mad Max 2, but it's the sequel to the original Mad Max that's just set in Dandenong or wherever it's set.

Yeah. So no sand is what you're saying. No sand at all, exactly. There's no water crisis. There's no nothing. Yeah. It's just highway patrol cars. It's just him doing a highway patrol

and occasionally people ask him about that time. His family were run over? Yeah. And he handcuffed that dude to a car? That's right, yes. And was like, saw your leg off, mate. Yeah. I guess Saw could also be in the same universe.

Saw could be the sequel because Saw borrowed that idea. Oh, I see. To saw your leg off. That's true. That's why it's called Saw. It should have been called Saw Your Leg Off. Getting a lot of posters out there. I bet you won't.

I bet you won't. A lot of poster work this week. And there's just a guy behind the two-way. Oh, you know, it's just because he's on the ground in Saw. He spends the whole movie on the ground pretending to be a dead body and it's just a quick pan to him every, the director's cut's a quick pan to him every two minutes going like, as if you would.

You wouldn't. As if you're gonna. He did it. He did it. I didn't think he was gonna do it. He did it. I wish someone else was here But I've killed everyone

So yeah I like that Tom Hardy Is the boomerang boy Because he would have I know he's got the same injury and he's got the family But also his family is different Than the previous Mad Max's family They kind of play fast and loose

With the kids that he has in it. Also, I would guess that breaking your legs is a fairly common injury in this universe. Yeah, and he probably saw the Mad Max leg brace and went, I could do that. Same with the jacket and the gun. He's like, that dude was like the coolest fucking dude I've ever seen. So that's my look.

He probably doesn't even need the leg brace. He's probably just like, I'll make my own as a fashion statement. Yeah, and he just switches it every day. It's like glasses that don't have any lenses in it that's right exactly it's a fashion leg brace well he looks great speaking of i nearly went thank you uh this is from james weir this is also mad max uh the mad max wasteland exists outside of mega city one from judge oh yeah i like that a lot so so in the in the judge dreadiverse and i'm not sure if we're talking

about the movie or the comic book. Which movie? The Stallone one. The Stallone one. Yeah. But there's Mega City 1, which is the super high-tech, super huge, super overpopulated city. But if you leave Mega City 1, outside is the cursed earth.

Yes. It's just sort of a blasted atomic wasteland, which is pretty much the Mad Max. Yeah, that's not wrong. So again, obviously. You could say like anything's out there. You could say Dune is out there. You could say anything is out there.

You could say out there is all a dream. You could say that, couldn't you? You could say that outside of Mega City 1 there's a hospital and everybody in the hospital is in a coma having a dream. You're right. Again, only the sort of Mad Max 2 and up could be out there, I feel. Again, just like it wouldn't be Mega City 1 and then outside of Mega City 1 is just.

Ballarat or whatever. It's Ballarat, yes. It's Kyneton. It's cool. There's a local reference for you. Cooperpedie? Yeah, Cooperpedie would do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Laverton near the airport. Back of, Cooper Petey would do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Laverton? Near the airport? Backer Smarsh? Backer Smarsh. Yeah. Here we go. What about this one? I quite like this one.

DB something, speaking of the office. I heard that Toby from the American office is the Scranton Strangler, and I've got to say I'd be okay with that in my headcanon thoughts. Toby ends up being on the jury for the Scranton Strangler. So it's also, I mean, there's a number of theories behind this because he's a weird creep for one, but other reasons. But if he's on the jury. And Toby's the one who's always like.

The HR guy. He's always like. Michael hates him. Yes. But the idea also that he, if he was on the jury, perhaps he could influence them to pin it on this other guy. There are other theories I don't have in front of me about that, but I quite like that one.

I very much – what I like about this kind of fan theory is the idea that The Office, while – you know, The Office swings from, like, goofy to, like, poignant, romantic and bittersweet and, you know, what's life all about and careers and is it all worth kind of thing. Yes. That's the thrust of the show, but also, but the producers put in a little thing about one of the main characters being a horrible serial killer.

They put it in just for the real fans, you know. Actually, speaking of sitcoms, this is quite a good one from Roy on the Patreon. I read one that Malcolm from Malcolm in the Middle is Walter White. we never know the family's surname he's a keen interest in chemistry he would go up to look like his dad played by brian cranston he has a strong bond with our grandfather walter so yeah i mean the timeline is not not right the grandfather is walter i guess i don't maybe that is wal White. Yeah. How about this? This is the new, this is the new, it's all a dream.

Okay. It's anybody in Malcolm in the Middle could potentially be Walter White for Breaking Bad. They either grew up to become him or they were him and they changed their- Even Craig? Yeah, whoever that is, absolutely. Terrific. Oh my goodness. Were you confused as a kid when you'd watch a TV show

and a character was called Craig? Yeah, like what's Craig? What kind of name is Craig? Yeah. We say Craig. We say Greg. We say Greg. If we're thinking of Greg.

Yes, that's true. We also say Graham. Yes, we do. What do they say? Graham. They say Graham. Like Graham crackers. Like Graham crackers.

Oh, my goodness. Graham crackers. Graham crackers. Go to your local supermarket Oh my goodness. Graham crackers. Go to your local supermarket and be like, excuse me, sir, might I have a box of graham crackers? They'll help you. Might I have a graham biscuit, please? One container of graham biscuits, thank you.

Gareth has said, Boba Fett is the person that killed Owen and Beru. They wanted to interrogate the residents from the farm to find the droids and not have them killed. That's why he specifically told Fett no disintegrations when he sends the bounty hunters after Han and co. I think maybe an old canon there were hints towards that. Probably not. I don't know where anything's at with Star Wars anymore. But, yeah, that's not.

I mean, he was on Tatooine as well that's true so he could have yeah yeah i like it i also like it yeah because he's a dumbass he would do that he didn't even mean to do it no that's right like can you go and ask them some questions yeah it's like disintegrate i've got it i'm surprised you got the right house if i'm honest maybe he didn't get the right house maybe he was maybe was completely unrelated. Maybe he was sent to deliver a package to the next house miles over. He showed up and he's like, all right. Maybe he stumbled and he dropped the box of glass, a glass bottle of blue milk or whatever, and he's like,

well, I've got to disintegrate everyone now. Oh, my goodness. Or he's like, I'm ashamed. I'm going to disintegrate myself. And he accidentally disintegrated. Like Llewyn and Arboroo. So I'm just also looking at to disintegrate myself and you accidentally disintegrated a glow in an arboroo. So I'm just also looking at my phone because I can't get the Facebook page to load properly.

So I'm just, oh, my baby's waking up. You're a real one-man band over there. For people who can't see this, which is literally everyone on earth except me, you are on your phone, you're on your computer, and you're also sort of like nudging your baby's bed with your foot. Like I'm cracking a cymbal or whatever. Yeah, exactly, yeah. Yeah.

A lot of people have talked about Bigger Luke. That is a theory we've talked about before. That's from the last episode we did. We did, it's true. So I'm not going to get into it. But basically there's, it's a Luke clone theory. You can look into it. But it's one of my favorite Star Wars theories.

You can look into it by listening to that episode of the podcast. Absolutely you can. I actually have one more, but do you have any more before I get into that one? It's a good one too. Well, look, I'm sure I can find one, but of course somebody's written here. Thomas McCoy has written, what about Greece? Theory is Sandy died at the beginning. Of course she did.

Yeah, I've heard also like they both die because it's all a weird hyper-reality. Yeah, yeah. But if they died, is it their heaven? Wow, imagine your heaven. Or is Frenchie imagining it? Imagine your heaven. Is there a character called Frenchie in that?

Grace. Imagine your heaven is going back to school. Yeah. I think for some people it is. My advice for people in school, don't peek in school. Just do something better. William Egan has written, Ash Ketchum died in the first episode of Pokemon,

which is why he doesn't age in the show. That's the only reason. So his adventures are all post-mortem, yes. Yeah, okay. But also, having not seen the first episode of Pokemon, is there a scene where he narrowly avoids his own death? There's a scene where he shoots himself. Oh, my God.

There's a scene where his wife shows up, the sixth sense style, and shoots himself. There's a scene where his wife shows up the sixth sense style and shoots him. And then it just cuts to six months later and he's like, well, I've changed my life and I'm a Pokemon trainer now. I think you mean Donnie Wahlberg. It doesn't matter, does it? No, it absolutely does not. Donnie Wahlberg got so skinny for that movie. So do you want my last one?

Yes, please. From Cam says, John Wick is just a training program for Neo. Oh, yeah, okay, that makes sense. Because we don't really know how long the training programs take. In the video game Path of Neo, which is fantastic, you go in and you do all the kung fu and you do levels and stuff. Yeah. So I guess it would make sense that in real time,

like in real time it's like seconds, but maybe he lives out this whole life of this guy whose wife dies and his dog dies and then he goes on several adventures. What does that teach him though? Just fighting. But it's the motivation to get good at fighting because it's why you endeavour to. No, wait a minute, because he already knows how to fight

at the start of those movies. So is it just trauma? Is it trauma training? Yeah, maybe it's trauma training. It doesn't work at all. No, it's bad. It's bad and weird. No, I like it.

I still like it, yeah. This is from Alex McKinney, and he's linked to a Reddit article, so you know it must be true. It says, this is another Office one, in the office the accountants were laundering money. Oh, mate, I saw that and I'm like, I can't get into this whole Reddit thread right now, but I love the idea of it.

I'm going to have a quick browse of it. Sure. And just, I want to see, I want to see, it says, this is from our fan theories, from Burn Notice Lover, so you know he likes quality television. One of the many odd things about Dunder Mifflin's Scranton is that there are three accounts doing a job that could easily be done by one.

Yeah, or an off-site person doing a program. He says, I think that's because a small part of Dunder Mifflin is involved in some sort of criminal business, and Angela, Oscar, and Kevin are all involved. I think Kevin maybe unwittingly. Uh-huh. Yeah, because he doesn't know. Apparently the evidence, Dwight's suspicions,

unrealistically high profits for a small-town paper business. Sure. It's the only branch that does well. Oh, really? Okay, interesting. Okay. Yeah. But that's because they're all good friends and they work together.

Maybe. I could imagine that Angela would be running that and they wouldn't know. Oh, I see. You think so? Angela or Oscar could do it unless Kevin's doing the long con and he's not really a stupid idiot man. Yeah, right. Point three, precedent for upper management turning a blind eye

towards unethical illegal practices. Sure. Number four, behaviour of the accountants. Yep. Angela's very tightly wound, extremely irritable all of the time because she's stressed out about being caught. Yeah. Kevin's a good gambler.

Oscar is one of the few normal people in the office and he doesn't react to the cameras because he knows the best way to go unnoticed is just to play it cool. Very true. And five, post-documentary careers. Once the cameras are gone, Oscar runs for office, Angela marries Dwight, and Kevin runs a bar. Yeah, Kevin gets fired, but I think at that point,

if he's laundering money, he's like, I don't care. Yeah, right. Yeah. Kevin explains how he got the bar, but the story is idiotic. He claims that so many people wanted to buy him drinks, the bar decided it was cheaper to make him a partner. I think that Kevin just bought a bar with his dirty money and made that story up.

Oh, my God, he Ozarked it. Yeah, yeah. Angela is married to Dwight, who runs a successful farm, so she doesn't need to use her cash. Okay. Yeah, because you could say a lot of that stuff is stuff you sell at farmer's markets for cash, Like the beets that he sells. Exactly, yeah.

There you go. Well, that's a good one. That's a great theory. Again, I love the idea of just a nice sitcom that's supposed to make you feel good about your lot in life and you watch it and you go, yeah, these guys are Ozarking it. They're Ozarking it and they're Dexter-ing it. Oh, that's really good. I think that's all the fan theories we've got.

I love these though. We should do this more often. I think we should, yeah. Yeah. Or at least once every hundred episodes. Yeah, exactly.

What happens is we say, can you have some, can we, can we get some fan theories? And we get so many that we're like, I know we've made a mistake. There's too many fan theories. Let's not think about this ever again.

And sometimes we're like, people haven't thought that through. And then you look at it and you know, no, that's actually, that's actually brilliant. Well, we were going to do Rick and Morty fan theories.

And I'm like, I don't want to be like, so Pickle Rick is. So the real Rick was a. Morty went to. The clone of Morty's mum is Rick's mum. No, Rick is Morty's pickle. And he got his pickles sewed onto Morty's dick. So Morty's dick is a pickle. I would listen to that for an hour, I'll be honest with you.

What I would, you know, what I would, what we'd have to do would just get you talking and then I'd put flashcards with various characters on them and maybe keywords and you just have to integrate it into your theory. Jerry is pickle Rick. There's a Jerry, there's a pickle Jerry because there's a pickle Jerry universe where Jerry is pickle Rick. Precisely. So yeah, but if you do have any fan theories, There's a pickle Jerry because there's a pickle Jerry universe where Jerry is pickle Rick. Oh, God.

Precisely. So, yeah. But if you do have any fan theories, leave them below or wherever this is, wherever this goes up. This might be a video this week, I think. So that's cool, isn't it? And if it is a video, thanks for watching, I guess. Yeah.

Next segment of the show, Mason. That's what we read and what we're going to read. What we're going to read. Yay. Yay. Yay. Sorry for my baby, everybody, but what do you want me to do? Oh, is that- What do you want me to do? Is that what you say to the baby when the baby makes noise?

Do you go, yay? Or is this your general enthusiasm for the podcast? No, that's my general enthusiasm. Okay, that was really good. Yeah, that would be- that's not a bad idea, though. Just some positive reinforcement. I'm just trying to find this fucking theme. Here we are.

I found it. James, there is a baby in the room. A baby who does not comprehend anything. You've got to pick the point from when to not swear in front of your baby. But I also have a theory that in the future, this is insane, by the way. This is your fan theory. Just bear in mind that there will be a form of technology in the future where people will be able to perfectly recall memories

through some sort of machine. So she could come back in time and just listen to this and just be like, my dad was insane. Like he kept it kind of pretty, he kept it kind of together when I'm around. I mean, he's more insane now in this crazy future we live in. But yeah, I can see the seeds. Look, I can, you know,

there are people out there that seem to have perfect recall, I can, you know, there are people out there that seem to have perfect recall. I mean, you know, just transfer that to an app. Yeah. Yeah, oh my God. It's as easy as that. That's right. Just put it in an app.

Man, I've said so many mean things to your other kid as well. Yeah. You give the finger to my children when they're really little. I really do, yeah. I enjoy it. Yeah, it's fun. But you stop doing it to my other kid now. Because he knows.

He'd start doing it to you. He'd be like, what does this mean? All right, here we go. What are we reading? I'm doing a thing. Westworld. Westworld. I'll never forget.

I'll never forget. Have I broken you on this? No, it's good. You seem to be finding it funny every week. I enjoy it a lot. What I enjoyed is because, you know, surely we're probably getting, you know, new listeners every once in a while, you know, people who are like, oh, I'm stuck at home, I would like to listen to a new podcast,

and then this happens and you just scream Westworld, even though we haven't talked about Westworld in weeks. Yeah, absolutely. That's very cool. What are you Westworlding today? This week I'm Westworld, even though we haven't talked about Westworld in weeks. Yeah, absolutely. That's very cool. So what are you Westworlding today? This week I'm Westworlding. I started on The Great, which feels like a suggestible kind of. It is.

I've already talked about it. It's a bit of a suggestible. I'm on that. So it's Elle Fanning and Nicholas Holt, and it's the story of Catherine the Great, the great Russian empress, I guess. And it's very. Don't read the Wikipedia. Seems not accurate.

This show seems not accurate. No, it's wildly inaccurate, but do you like it? I do like it. It's fun. I like it a lot. It's kind of because it is by the same creators of the one with Olivia Colman. She won the Oscar for it. Did you say that already?

I did say it. No, but I just said it now. No, I said it. Oh, okay, cool. That was me who reminded you of that. Yeah. It's on Stan here. I don't know where it is anywhere else. It's on Hulu. I checked. Okay, great, cool. That was me who reminded you of that. Yeah, it's on Stan here. I don't know where it is anywhere else.

It's on Hulu, I checked. Okay, great, true. Also, I'm going to watch a couple of things. In Australia, Amazon Prime currently has, they've just started, they've just put on Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Oh, right. Like all 13. Are you up to date?

No, I'm not up to date. That's the thing, I'm going to get into that. I got up to date last year. It's so good. I'm years behind. Yeah. What are they up to, like? 13? Yeah, there's 13 seasons. It's so good. I'm years behind. What are they up to? 13?

Yeah, there's 13 seasons. 15 maybe? There's 13 seasons on Amazon. It's now the longest running live action show or something. Makes sense. But I guess that doesn't mean, or it might be sitcom because Doctor Who, but that's been cancelled multiple times. I don't know what counts anymore in anything, do I?

Well, I'm going to get into that. But also something just came up on Netflix today and I really enjoyed the comic book when it came out, it's The Last Days of American Crime. Apparently it's atrocious. It looks atrocious. It's really sad. It looks bad.

It's also really long. I went to start on like 2020. It's two and a half hours. I think I've mentioned the comic book on the podcast, but it's basically the American government decides, sick of all this crime, so it builds a device that projects a signal around the United States. And if it affects your brain or when you're in range of the signal,

you can't commit crimes. Your brain won't let you commit crimes. So it's going to be brought into wide use. And so a bunch of people are like, we should commit one last crime before. It's going to be cool. Yeah, it's going to be real cool. I'm going to get back on that comment because I started it and I've got to finish it.

It's a good one but I watched the trailer for this and I'm like, I don't know if it's going to be good. What is this? That's a shame. I'd like to watch it but I feel like I'm going to watch something that I like. That's the thing and I want it to be good. I'm going to give it a try but I feel like it might just be generic Netflix. Yeah.

Sort of sci-fi. Yeah. They're really like, well, you know, let's put some money into just a bunch of sci-fi premises that look like the modern day, more or less.

Yes. We don't have to spend that much money. Exactly. Yeah. So that's pretty, pretty cool and fun. I'm just going to, I'm going to mention prim Mates has a live stream,

or have done a live stream by now, of their very last episode, episode 100, Matt Stewart. That's right, for now. So I'll link that below. But you can chip in a couple of bloody bucks, mate, to get to looking at that. So Matt and Evan. You might see a couple of cameos from a couple of familiar faces.

Like celebrities? Us. Oh, never mind. Not like celebrities, no. Oh, that Matt and Evan. You might see a couple of cameos from a couple of familiar faces. Like celebrities? Us. Oh, never mind. Not like celebrities, no. Oh, that's a shame. That's a real blow. But still, it could be an episode. It would still be fun.

Oh, it's terrific. It's a terrific show. So, yeah, please swing by for that. I'm also back on Deceased because it's got an in-between series called Hope at World's End. It's Tom Taylor, Renata, Gudez, and Rex Locus. So there's a time jump in between a couple of those issues, and this fills in the gap.

And a lot of it is from Jimmy Olsen's perspective. So he's like, there's too many weird creatures. I don't like it. And he's mates with Superman. Like Superman turns up to save him, and he's like, Jimmy, why didn't you use your watch that I give you? And Jimmy's like, I didn't want to bother you because you're probably busy. I forgot how it works.

Yeah, that's true. I forgot it had that feature in it. Yeah. Okay, so this is actually we shouldn't spoil it. We won't spoil it, but yes, it's in the middle, yes. Okay, right. So that's a great series, and maybe we've got a Caravan of Garbage coming up on it

that we recorded what seems like years ago. That's right, before Deceased came out. It's just speculation what the series could be. Yeah, what is Deceased? What does that even mean? That's right. Before Deceased came out. It's just speculation what the series could be. Yeah, what is Deceased? What does that even mean? That's right. Anything else before we move on? That's about it for now.

Let's do some letters. Let's do some letters. The classic one was Letters, oh letters We love you Some letters They're only a day away I know they're here right now.

We're going to do letters. If you don't want to reach us, go to our hashtag, weeklyplanetpod at Twitter or weeklyplanetpod at gmail.com. Got a bunch of them this week because last week I mentioned, like, we don't get that many.

Even Rando Jake the Peg says... Do you know that song, Jake the Peg? With the extra leg? From Layton's Arms? No, Mason. Rolf Harris used to sing it, but don't worry about him.

He's a pedophile. Anyway, I feel bad that James keeps begging for tweets, so here you go. That's true. You should feel bad. I'm a pathetic human being. Isaac says, hey, you guys are my favorite podcast. Do you all think that movies are moving in the direction of video games, such as releasing with more urgency and then repairing in post

and streaming extras DLCc style kind of interesting perspective yeah some of them seem to be and it seems to be again it's you know it's not it's not uh the peanut butter falcon that's coming out and it's you know they're patching it halfway yeah it's it's your movies they're tending towards big blockbusters anyway it's yeah you know and and again that that is it must be a deliberate strategy at this point surely yeah of like we'll we'll release this movie and some of it won't make any sense but you watch it because things explode yes then when the home video release comes out then we'll fill in all the gaps yeah you know god that's exhausting to think about that isn't i hate it

just to be like what if we filled in like a michael bay film like with like oh with more stuff but yeah i think i don't think it's a wise strategy but that doesn't mean that Like a Michael Bay film. Oh, with more stuff? God, the X is so long. But yeah, I don't think it's a wise strategy, but that doesn't mean that that's not going to happen. I think because it used to be that you'd sell your DVD with your bonuses and your extras and your deleted scenes, and that was how you'd get people in. Yes. But this might just be the new version of that. Yeah.

And now we've talked about this. I talked about this with Claire on my less successful podcast. Wouldn't it be weird if that podcast got more successful than I had to switch that up? Wait, is that happening? No. Okay. Oh, it's growing.

It's definitely growing. But yeah. So, but they're putting all the extra stuff on like Disney plus. They do like streaming service. Yeah. Right. Like bonus features and stuff, which is, which is cool. But no, i don't really

have a answer to that other than i think that's a very interesting observation so yeah what about you and again like but but that's the and i also feel like in in terms of like you know video games are often shipped incomplete because they have the i mean that's what that's what movies for the most part have have over video games and video games will ship yeah incomplete all the time yeah and then it's like well this is barely playable and we didn't give you any of the features you wanted wait a month and we'll yeah that for you longer the only thing that i can really think of that's been patched post releases cats allegedly but yeah yeah i mean i i don't george lucas patched star wars oh really yeah the original star wars and maybe even some other ones. But, yeah, he changed some stuff.

I don't feel like the movie industry would survive as well if they're like. Because people aren't going to go, well, I'll rush out. They'll be like, well, I'll wait until they fix it. Yeah, yeah. I don't think people are going to be like. Because I guess at the very least with video games, if it's not finished, at least you're just in your house and you've paid for it once and you can kind of muck around on it, whatever they've given you.

But if you're like, well, I'm going to have to make a night of it and I have to pay $20 and go out and what have you, and then I pay all the money and then you show up and it's like, well, it's not finished. Okay, cool. Do I come back next week for another? Do I get a free do-over? Like that would kill the movie industry again.

That's not incorrect. I think it could work with some movies, but they're really – you made an interesting point when we talked about extended cuts last week. Like the reason why, say, The Lord of the Rings works. Did you say this or did someone send this? I don't know. I'll take credit for it. Because it was initially a good movie.

Yes. And so when you add stuff, people are like, I loved this and I want to see more of it. I don't want to be like, that was broken, but show me a different version of that. Yeah, exactly. You fucked it and I'm done with this. it. I don't want to be like, that was broken, but show me a different version of that. Yeah, exactly. You fucked it and I'm done with this. Yeah, I'm not buying.

If I didn't like the movie originally, I'm not buying it again. Yeah, because you say it's better. Yeah, right, exactly. If the home version adds to the lore of an already complete movie, that works for me and I'll watch it maybe just to fill in some, to get a more rich experience of that movie. But if the storyline or whatever of the original didn't work, I'm not buying it again. That's right.

It's a trick and I hate it. I just thought of this. I had a joke in my head. It doesn't work, but I'm just going to say it. When you said rich, I nearly said Richard Branson, but that doesn't even. Nope. That's nothing, is it? That's just. But my brain was like, say Richard Branson.

That's free associating, but he is rich, so you're not wrong. So it works. You are good. That is a good joke. What we do is we lower expectations so hard. And we tell people it's a good joke. But when we actually do a good joke, people have been tricked. That's right.

This is an email from Zach Adams. Okay. It says, nicholas and jacob that's us yep i've been watching the new netflix snowpiercer tv show and it got me thinking what existing movie do you think would work best by setting it entirely on a train oh man i mean dread yep it's just a sideway you could just do it sideways the building fell over and it's getting away they're gonna going to go. Well, I guess, I mean, first, I guess you could translate any building related, the Towering Inferno, but it's a train. It's on fire. The back's on fire.

Or the front. Or the front. Doesn't matter. It would be the front with the engine, right? Did you know the Towering Inferno exists because there were two movies that were about burning buildings? One was called The Tower and one was called The Blazing Inferno and they were two competing movie companies.

Yeah. They just mashed them together. Wasn't there a whole thing of that movie as well? There was a bunch of stuff about the actors involved and who's going to be top credited and where names were even going to be and the credits. I mean like literally top credit, like who's going to be at the top. I think so, yeah.

Yeah, because it was like McQueen. And that's how the fire started. Really? Yeah, Sinatra set the fire. That's typical of that prick, isn't it? It absolutely is. Zach's suggestion is Shawshank Redemption. A man wrongly accused of not having a ticket

spends 19 years attempting to get off a train while being closely watched by the mean train guard. I think that would be good. There's Polar Express. Yes. It's on a train, but it's inside a bigger train. Oh, my God. The TV show Thomas the Tank Engine.

I mean, you know. There's so many theories about kids' shows, dystopia futures, because they're so weird and surreal. You know, if we're going to do a fan theory episode in the future, maybe we could just do kids' shows. We could definitely do that. Yeah. We've got a few like SpongeBob is like a genetic mutation because of toxic

waste and stuff like that. But, yeah, definitely. We've got one, all the Rugrats are dead except for Angelica. Oh, yeah, that's right. That's dark. Yeah, uh-huh. Yeah. Look, I think John Wick would certainly work on a train.

Oh, definitely. Yeah. You've got to think kind of, well, that's the thing. Under Siege 2 could work on a train. Absolutely. Under Siege 1 could work on a train. Money Train could work on a train. A bigger train.

That's my bigger train theory. Yeah, that's right. What's a movie you'd have to really shoehorn to work on a train. Money train could work on a train. A bigger train. That's my bigger train theory. That's right. What's a movie you have to really shoehorn to fit on a train? Fit on a train. Top Gun. Wait, so even the fire jets are inside the float? No, they're not in the train. Tom Cruise's character is the best train driver.

Oh, okay. I get you. He has to shoot down the other trains? The Russian trains. There's an incursion of Russian trains. Yeah. And the tracks are interweaving? Yeah.

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. That's great. I love it. You got another one? Another train? No, just give me an action movie.

We'll put it on the train. An action movie. Okay. It's not like Die Hard, but that's easy in a train, isn't it? That's right. What about, oh, good Lord. What about Conan the Barbarian we talked about? A train?

Sure. I mean, because there wouldn't be a, would it be a big wooden wheeled train pulled by horses? Or is it just a modern train? How about this Highlander on a train? Okay. There can only be one train. That's the.

So the competing trains? There was a prophecy at the depot. Yeah. It can be only one train. And at the end you get a prize, which is a bunch of overtime. But don't the people who run the trains like, but we need more than one train? And they're like, no, there was a prophecy.

Exactly. We have to whittle down our trains. We have to whittle down the trains. That doesn't even make sense for our network. We've got infrastructure here that keeps the city alive. We're going to smash all the trains together. It's going to be great. And at the end there's only going to be one train.

Oh, God. I like that. So it's not just take a movie and just squish everyone onto a train. It's you have to create a scenario where it's on a train. There's no rules here. Because I'm not sure I've been following this the entire time. Everything I've said has been totally correct. Okay, good.

It can be only one train. Train, perfect. I love it. Train theories. People got them. Really good, yeah. From Joe Swanson, 42. Hashtag, we can plan a pod.

Hey, James and Mason. My name's John. I live in... Oh, it was John Swanson, sorry. I live in Minnesota. Thank you both so much. Your band has got me through the last year in a major way. Congrats on the new baby.

Congrats on the new baby. Thank you. Your increasing loss of sanity makes the pod depressingly funny. Thanks. I'm in a real rom. Congrats on the new baby. Congrats on the new baby. Thank you. Increasing loss of sanity makes the pod depressingly funny. Thanks. I'm in a real rom-com indie mood right now. So I was wondering, what are your favorite rom-com and indie movies that you'd recommend? All the odd pod recommendations so far have been excellent,

including Shaft 2000. What do you think of that, Mason? I like it. Yeah, well, you don't have to. I don't. Yeah, I would say there's some good modern rom-coms that they're doing at the moment on Netflix. Like what's the Ali Wong one?

Always Be My Maybe, that's a good one. That's a good one. It's a good solid movie. Yeah. Oops, my baby didn't need to be fed very soon, so let's bloody get this bloody going around him. What do you think about the classic 90 ones, When You Harry Met Sally and all those kinds of things?

I think Notting Hill is one of the best ones. Big Sick, that's a good new one. That is a good one. and all those kinds of things. I think Notting Hill is one of the best ones. Big Sick, that's a good new one. That is a good one. The thing about rom-coms of that era is- They've all got Tom Hanks. They've all got Tom Hanks and they're all a bit- I don't like that they're probo sometimes, a bit problematic, but I also don't like articles that talk about how problematic they are.

I know, because it's like, we know. They were set in the 80s and 90s. We know. Keira Knightley's very young in this movie. We know. We know. It's weird. I don't like it. It's weird. Yeah. I don's like, we know. They were set in the 80s and 90s. We know. Keira Knightley's very young in this movie. We know. We know. It's weird. I don't like it.

It's weird. Yeah. Yeah. I don't like any of this. Crazy Stupid Love from 2011 is very good. Yeah. It's very funny. Yeah.

I don't like Four Weddings and Funeral Aide. I'm just, Hitch is fun, right? Hitch remains fun, I think. Remains fun, I think. Yeah. Uh-huh. One of the few Adam Sandler movies I like is The Wedding Singer. I'm just going through all those.

Wedding Singer's good. Look, I think maybe what elevates these is a charming protagonist, I think, maybe. I like Love Actually, but I also understand if you don't love Love Actually. I know that it's like contrived and whatever, but yeah. Like I saw Suddenly 30 quite recently. Yes.

Big probo, Mason. Is that what you're going to say? You should write an article about it. It's a big probo, but Andy Serkis is in it and he's a delight. Oh, isn't he just? Yeah. And Mark Ruffalo. Mark Ruffalo is in it, yeah.

And Jennifer Garner. Let's name the whole cast. We have. All of them, they just put on different roles. Stage show, yeah, absolutely. People like Amelie, but I think Amelie is insufferable. Like I liked her the time, I'm like, this is quirky and fun, and now I'm like, I hate this.

Oh, yeah, okay, I have not seen Amelie. Do you like the movie Serendipity no In Time yeah it's not really a rom-com though is it no it's about family

I guess but that's well worth it that'll get you bloody where you need to be yeah don't you think 10 Things I Hate About You that's fun

if you want a snapshot of the 90s that's the one absolutely yeah or Can't Hardly Wait which I think we've talked about yeah before so there you go there's some ones that are fine got any others or should we just wrap up I bet I'll think of one That's the one, absolutely, yeah. Or Can't Hardly Wait, which I think we've talked about before. So there you go.

There's some ones that are fine. Got any others or should we just wrap up? I bet I'll think of one as soon as we switch off. Don't worry. You can drive back to my house and we'll just add it in. Okay, cool. Be like, oh, I forgot to mention Harry Met Sally. Sure. And then you'll be like, no, we mentioned it first.

They'll be like, oh, God damn it. And you'll be like, we haven't mentioned it as a thing. You might come back and say, even though we already mentioned it. And they'll be like, oh, my God, this is getting really meta. Why am I back here? So do you want to wrap up the show? I've got some more letters. Oh, great.

Yeah, let's do it. James, I've got so many letters. A lot of letters. It's all right. I've got to go back to sleep, so we're good. Oh, yeah, cool. Look at this work that I'm doing, Mason. You're doing great.

It's easier with the second kid because you're like, I know all the tricks. Okay, now this is from Jack Taylor, and this is how you get us. You get us with a good subject line. Hot stuff. It says, my car flipped over while listening to the pod. Whoa. Hey, mates, hope all is well. Just thought it would be fun to tell you that on my way to work,

I always listen to the podcast to make the drive go by quicker. I've been listening since 2014. Sounds like you've been on a bit too bloody quick, am I right? That was 2014. It was a billion years ago. However, today while listening to the recent Director's Cut episode, someone tried to merge into me and I swerved out of the way, lost control of my car, flipped over, landing on its roof.

I sustained zero injuries, luckily. That's awesome. My car is total. It was a little surreal crawling out of my broken window to grab my phone and pause the podcast in the middle of the freeway. You don't want to miss out. Yeah, no, absolutely. We said all kinds of great stuff about director's cuts.

Exactly. Are they good? Are they bad? And then people run over to help and they're like, what is this? Yeah, yeah. What are you listening to? You can explain that, but you flipped a car, so you're a little distracted. P.S.

He says, I've been listening since I was 14 in 2014. There you go. I've been subscribed to James for even longer. I'm now 20 years old and love hearing you guys talk about comic book movies. Yeah, we're so old, Mason. No, we're all so young. It's fine. And he's got a picture of this truck.

It's a nice, like a red, Americans would call that a pickup truck, I think. Oh, my goodness. Yeah, that is a truck flip. He said, here's a photo for you guys, wicked CD on the ground. So a CD has fallen out of his. Does he mean like wicked CD or does he mean like the musical wicked CD? He's just said a wicked CD. A wicked CD.

I've zoomed in in i can't quite tell what it is but if uh jack if you're ever if you if you want to give us an update and tell us what cd that was yeah is it a wicked cd yeah or was it wicked the cd that's right i'm glad you're okay i think i mentioned this to you recently or maybe even before this show today who knows but we get a lot of i had a car crash car crash and you guys were there because I was listening to you. But we never get like, hey, I won like a scratchy ticket. I won $10,000 when I was listening to you guys. Because they're too busy spending the money.

Yeah, it's never like a bird dropped me a bar of gold, for example. Oh, yes. I wish there's a reason for that, a compelling reason why somebody wouldn't be walking down the street and a bird would drop a bar of gold on them. And that person's probably unconscious. Okay, yeah. But do you see what I'm saying?

Yes. Is good stuff happening when people listen to this or is this a curse, you know? Good question. Yeah. Speaking of driving, this is from Kevin Towers. He says, what do I do? I don't know what to do.

Hello, Mason and James. I'm a college student in Alabama. My summer internship fell through due to COVID. I've heard of it. Yep, that's happened. I've had to become a delivery driver to have an income this summer, and your podcast has made my shifts go by very quickly. I'm grateful for all that you do,

and I have fun diving in your back catalogue. Well, thank you. Thank you. Now on to my question. With listening to the podcast, I've started wanting to read comics comics and i would like to know your recommendations for where to begin also can i do this without becoming poor along the way no go to the library go to the library uh we should do an episode on this at some point people been asking for years like starting comics that's uh go to the library would be good uh a lot of issues because you're in america we don't

have this in australia but there's a lot of unlimited digital subscriptions in America there's Marvel Unlimited and Comixology Unlimited and so basically you pay a fee every month and you can read as many

comic books as you want like Netflix for comics it's not a lot of new new stuff but they're constantly updating it yeah I haven't done it but it seems to be well worth it

a lot of comic book companies often will have digital giveaways of stuff. Like if you sign up to the news, I think 2000AD, Fleetway, Fleetway who do 2000AD. Okay. They, if you sign up to the newsletter, they would give you like 50 free comics. Yeah, right.

Okay. So you do that. Also share like an account with friends. Oh yeah, that would work too. People do that with Kindles and whatever. Like I know, like I give my comic password stuff to my brother, the one you don't like. Yeah, yeah. Just be like, just what do you want to read?

And I'll just, and I'll get it because I write them off on tax. So there's a lot of Serenity sequel comics. I bet there is. The brother I don't like. Yes, that's right. He's a big fan of those. Yeah. They're good suggestions.

I like the idea of the library one as well, though COVID and library might not be a great idea. But I don't know. I want to, there's a, a lot of libraries have like an app where you can get, you can borrow out audio books and stuff like that. Right, okay. If they have an audio book, you just, you request it in the app and it comes through.

I wonder if they have a comic book thing. Do you love a book on tape? I do like a book on tape. I don't mind a book on tape either. What would you recommend if first comic book? a book on tape. I don't mind a book on tape either. What would you recommend? First comic book? Oh, for God, I don't know. Superman Birthright is a great first

story comic. It's a Superman origin. Let's do one. Let's do an episode. We'll do an episode on it. You got any other ones? You can do Batman You Won. That's a good one. You can't really go wrong. I find when I'm recommending it That's a good one. You can't really go wrong.

I find often, I find when I'm recommending it is often a DC one as opposed to anything else. And I don't know why that is, but what's that one that I always recommend? People will be letting me know. The Bible. Yeah, it's the Bible. It's the, DC's The New Frontier is what I'm thinking. Oh, yeah, that's great. It's sort of a retro one and it's sort of in the style of,

I was going to say in the style of Paul Dini. I think he did the art on it. Yeah, well, that would make sense why it's in his style, don't you think? That's right. It'd be weird if it wasn't in his style. Darwin Cook, rather. Oh, it would be weird if it wasn't in the style of the thing that I said.

Well, Darwin Cook had a lot of people on the Dini-verse. But it's sort of a limited series which was set sort of in the golden age or the golden silver age, the 1950s of the DC Comics characters, and you don't need to know anything about any of them really. It's just a good, solid comic book. And there's dinosaurs in it. Yeah. That's all you need to know.

All right, she's waking up again, and we really do need to bloody wrap this up. Okay, we should wrap this up, yeah. Oh, my goodness. Thank you so much, everybody, for listening.

That's right. You've got to do the standing. Yeah. Sometimes you eat a pie, it's not worthwhile. It's not a great pie. Yeah, you're like, I've got the calories, but I don't have the satisfaction. Leaving a review, no calories, all satisfaction. That's right.

I've been listening to them since 2016. They're my favorite podcast. I keep trying to find ones that I like as much as this one, and I can satisfaction. That's right.

Even my less successful podcast, Suggestible, because it's less successful for a reason, isn't it? You don't get that sense of satisfaction.

No, you really don't. Listening to an award-winning podcast. No, it's coming back this week, by the way. We're ready to go, I think. Vincent D. Taylor said, release the sandwich cut. Five stars. Just do it, you cowards. Did we ever say sandwich cut?
