This podcast is brought to you by movement ever scroll glasses that's right they're back we're very excited 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 is always my co-host Nick Mason. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:01:28 Thank you, everyone. Thank you, James and largely silent audience who are applauding behind a screen. That's because they're masking up and that's impinging on their free speech. So that's why they're not cheering wildly. Right, right. I can understand.
Starting point is 00:01:42 Yep. That makes sense. Yeah. I wear a mask. I'm being sarcastic, obviously. You never know. Yep. How are things? speech so that's why they're not cheering right i can understand yep that makes sense yeah i wear a mask i'm being sarcastic obviously you never know yep how things uh good yeah good i woke up for work at 1am this morning that doesn't even sound right it doesn't sound like you made a horrible mistake oh yeah like you set your clock back for daylight savings which it isn't yeah you did it like too many hours as someone whose ideal alarm setting time is like 1 p.m.,
Starting point is 00:02:06 I'll set it to like 1 p.m. just in case I sleep past noon most days. I'm like, this is a real shock to the system. So if I just pass out during this. What time do you go to bed normally? Like early morning? I'll go to bed at like maybe 1. So in this instance, i got up at one horrible what a horrible time yeah so you haven't you literally haven't slept no i have a little i
Starting point is 00:02:29 've had a little sleep because i finished it like mid it's like it's i finish work at like midday yeah so it's a it's weird to to get up and see the sun come up like while you're at work and have like your lunch break at like 7 a.m and then you and it's like, oh, there's a whole day left. Yeah. But I won't have nowhere to sleep. Of course. Why wouldn't you? But anyway, if I just, if you're like, hey,
Starting point is 00:02:49 what about this incredible revelation in the world of comic book movie news? And I'm just like, that's why I passed out. They can pin it on me. I should be livening you up. That's why I'm clapping you in, mate. Oh, that was good. Making it happen. It didn't work.
Starting point is 00:03:02 It didn't work. Try something else. What if I just stopped doing it? Do you have a bucket of ice water that might do it we're doing the als challenge yeah that's right yes i didn't know it was 2015 that's great well you probably think it is without you're getting up may as well and also what day is it literally ever yeah anyways comic-con we're talking comic-con this week whoa i know it started already got, like, I'm just going to scatter the news from throughout the week because it looked more like Comic-Bomb, am I right, Mason, maybe?
Starting point is 00:03:31 Are you? Yeah, it was okay. I guess it was. I mean, there wasn't any huge, there wasn't anything. They did a pretty good job. There was some interesting panels. There wasn't any, I mean, unless there were some revelations while we do this podcast, but there wasn't any kind of, you know,
Starting point is 00:03:43 and again because- That's true. There could be still things that we'll miss. Yeah, but, you know, it's because, you know, Marvel have split off and Disney have split off and et cetera, et cetera, and we don't- It's not like we're going to be like, there's a full trailer for, you know,
Starting point is 00:03:55 the Falcon and the Winter Soldier or anything like that. There's a trailer for New Mutants. There is. That's true. We can talk about it. So, yeah, we are going to talk about New Mutants. We're going to talk about the black suit Superman footage that was revealed, the boys season two.
Starting point is 00:04:04 We've got some huge date changes for a number of things, Bill and Ted's as well. I love date changes. It's my favourite thing. You're like, you thought this was going to come out on August 15th, and I'm like, I did? Yep, and you're like, but actually it's going to come out November 12th, and I'm like, wow.
Starting point is 00:04:20 Every time, James, every time. Just to be clear, didn't know, won't remember. Well, there's been some pretty big shifts this time around. Wow. That's right. Thank you. So I think a good thing to start talking about would be a number of things, but this specifically.
Starting point is 00:04:37 Don't make me choose, James. One thing. So the DC streaming service, which people have speculated, including us probably at some point, looks to be folding into one of the several HBO streaming services, probably Max. Now you can't get a yearly subscription, which was $75.
Starting point is 00:04:54 They're only doing monthly offerings of $7.99. They're going to fold it up. Yeah. I think also if you get it, you get HBO Max automatically or one of them. I see. I think that was the problem from the get-go that it was too niche. Like we never got it here anyway.
Starting point is 00:05:08 No, that's true. But I really like the idea of it, especially if you get the huge DC comic catalogue. But I don't think there ever was every movie, every comic, every TV show, which was kind of confusing to me what they were doing. So I think it makes sense to fold it into something else. It was just the Super Friends cartoon. That's all you got.
Starting point is 00:05:25 They gave you the Super Friends cartoon and then like the comic book version of the Super Friends cartoon. That's all you got. When they cancelled the Super Friends. Yeah, and they mailed you like an old action figure. I don't want that. It's missing an arm. I don't want that.
Starting point is 00:05:36 No, you got a Brainiac but it was missing an arm. I don't want that. No, you got it though. Is it the cool new Brainiac? It's got like a big tentacle shit? No, it's old robot Brainiac. Not like just the green alien with the big head? No.
Starting point is 00:05:46 Just like a skinny little body and a green head? No. Great, terrific. So, yeah, this is a thing that never came here anyway and we probably won't be getting HBO Max either because Fox don't buy up everything. Terrific. But, yeah, I think this was inevitable at this point.
Starting point is 00:06:00 Apparently Peacock didn't have a massive launch either, which wasn't great. HBO Max is doing, like, okay. Their launches weren't huge in general. I wonder if the market is already becoming too saturated for this, if you're not a Netflix or an Amazon. Or a Quibi. I'm pinning all my hopes on Quibi.
Starting point is 00:06:14 Don't, Mason. I'm going to. You've gone mad from staying up forever. It's true. So, yeah, that's where we're at with that. Are you excited? Very excited, yes. For this thing that's folding. That's right. Oh, yeah, for Comic- we're at with that. Are you excited? Very excited, yes. Woo! For this thing that's folding.
Starting point is 00:06:26 That's right. Oh, yeah, for Comic-Con, we do woos. We love to woo. Yeah. This is going to be like a woo. It's a tentative woo. Tentative woo. Yeah, because it's not a new.
Starting point is 00:06:35 I don't want to hear about stuff folding. I want to hear about stuff that's fresh and hot. Oh, then I've got something for you, Mason. Is it fresh and hot? Yeah, it's fresh and hot. Okay. Rick and Morty Season 5, we've got our first look. It's like an animatic.
Starting point is 00:06:46 That's right. Presumably this isn't the final. This isn't the final look unless they're going some sort of experimental. I could watch a whole season of this. Yeah, I could probably watch it like this. For me, the appeal of Rick and Morty, I mean, the animation is amazing. Don't get me wrong. But what am I talking about?
Starting point is 00:07:00 No, I don't want to watch a season of this. I want to watch a finished animation. Oh, a better version of this. Do you remember they did this for the pickle rick episode years ago i released the bit where he's fighting the rats oh i did a similar thing it looks fun though so they're also they've talked about where they're at and they're currently animating this new season they ordered 70 episodes so presumably that's seven seasons which will take us into uh the end of time for us right the humanity yeah and um and then they're writing season it'll into the end of time for us, for the humanity. And then they're writing season six at the moment. It'll be a race against time for us to watch the final episodes
Starting point is 00:07:31 of Rick and Morty as, like, the batteries die on the last tablet in the world. Yeah, exactly. Oh, God. It'll be like you'll see the chef going like, ah, blah, blah, blah, you know, and then the tablet dies and you're like, ah. And you have to go out and fight some mutants in real life.
Starting point is 00:07:47 Yeah, that's cool too, isn't it? It'll be really cool. So it looks like they've ramped up Rick and Morty more. Somebody will be like, did you get all that? What is it? Is it Letterman at the end? Is it a little clip? Maybe.
Starting point is 00:07:57 Is that Letterman? Sounds like Letterman. I have no idea who it is. Did you get all that? Somebody message in and be like, it's this. Let us know if it's you or David Letterman. Tell Mason. If it's not either of those, I don't want to know. If it's you recorded that
Starting point is 00:08:07 voice or David Letterman, let us know. But you have to be David Letterman? No. You don't have to be David Letterman. You don't want to hear if it's not David Letterman, do you? No. Very good. It seems like they've sped things along. The last season took quite a long time to get going. It seemed like there was some kind of dispute to
Starting point is 00:08:23 lock in everything. They came to this 70 episode situation and this is where we're at. Do you feel like this show could sustain 70 more episodes? We'll find out, won't we? We sure will. I don't think it's, it's definitely been matched by other animations since in terms of like animation is good at the moment. Oh yes.
Starting point is 00:08:42 Would you say it's a golden age of animation? Definitely. Like if you look at, we've recently talked about Harley Quinn, obviously, and there's a bunch of other stuff that's been going. I'm working my way through Avatar. You know that show from like 15 years ago? Oh, yeah, sure. It's so good.
Starting point is 00:08:54 I just, I really love it. And I'm sad that I'm going to be finishing it soon. But then I can watch Legend of Korra, but then it's finished. And then I've only got that stupid movie, the live action movie. Oh, sure. Which is the reason why I started this, because I wanted to know how good the show was in comparison to the movie. I don't know why I've done this to myself.
Starting point is 00:09:10 I don't know why you've done that at all. You could have watched the movie first and then it's an uphill climb. It spoils all the major story beats without doing it in a good way. I don't know if it does. Have you seen it? No, but as far as I know, it doesn't cover most of the things in the animation. I think it does the first season or like a very compressed version. Again, I haven't seen it.
Starting point is 00:09:26 I don't know. I want to see how they do the flying bison. Anyway, I'm well on board for the show that everybody else has watched in the world. Congratulations. You haven't seen it either, yeah. So, yeah, so I think Rick and Morty has like been consistently good, but the sheen is definitely worn off in terms of like, oh, this is so fresh and new and original.
Starting point is 00:09:42 That's what I mean. Worn off for me that the sheen is worn off, but I wonder if, you know, it's sort of become, I mean, it's always been quite self-referential, but I feel like it's really, you know, folding in on itself with the self-referential stuff. Like are they going to take, do they have a new tack to send it towards? Is it going to get less self-referential? Is it going to get more self-referential?
Starting point is 00:10:02 Oh, my God, I can't even imagine, Mason. Is there going to be an episode where Rick ends up in the real world and he goes to an erotic cake store? You know? Yeah, well, that's what I'm talking about specifically. Like you cannot remain good and hot and topical. I mean, we've remained good and hot and topical. No, Mason, no.
Starting point is 00:10:23 Oh, no. No. Oh, no. No. Well, James No, Mason, no. Oh, no. No. Oh, no. No. Oh, James, come on, no. James. James. So, yeah, things change.
Starting point is 00:10:32 You know what I mean? I mean, I'd say South Park is probably a good example that keeps reinventing itself. Is that a good example? I mean, it's still relevant. Is it? When was the last time you watched an episode of South Park? Oh, no, I haven't watched an episode in 15 years.
Starting point is 00:10:44 Since Avatar came out, probably. Oh. The last airbender. But no, but people still talk about it. But I guess it's never hit the peak of like around the movie, though, has it? In terms of popularity. But people love those, the poo that sings or whatever. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:10:57 Do they love that anymore? Whatever they're up to. We don't know. We just don't know. Mason, you insisted that you put this in the show. It was a trailer before and you stormed in. You kicked down a glass door. I don't think any of this is true.
Starting point is 00:11:08 None of this is true. And you said, we need to talk about Arch Enemy, the Joe Manganiello movie. Oh, I did mention that. I didn't say we have to talk about it. No, you said we had to mention it. All right. And so I watched it. It's a minute trailer.
Starting point is 00:11:17 What did you think? I thought it looked okay. It looks okay, doesn't it? And then I was like, what is this? What is it, though? Is this Drive? Like, what is it? So anyway, I got the synopsis, but I thought I'd save it for you.
Starting point is 00:11:25 Okay, go for it. Even though you brought this bit of news, I'm doing the research. I don't understand it, quite frankly. Oh, that was the plan. You've brought in work for me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I've got to fix that door. Well, you're always telling me you don't have enough on your plate.
Starting point is 00:11:36 You know? So the film tells the story of Max Fist. Nice. Played by Joe Manganiello, who claims to be a hero from another dimension who fell through time and space to Earth where he has no powers. Interesting, right? I didn't get a sense for that at all from the trailer. Did you?
Starting point is 00:11:52 No. But, I mean, it looked way more like sort of like just a crime thriller. Crime thriller. And is it crowdfunded? It might be. I don't know. Well, sounds like somebody has some homework to do. Should we get Claire in?
Starting point is 00:12:09 She can do some research. I think Claire's in bed, actually. All right. Well, get her out. Get her out. That's true. Get her to put her movement ever scroll glasses on. A lot of podcasts have like a person that they throw to.
Starting point is 00:12:19 They're like, what do we got here? It's like Engineer Joe. Yeah, they're like, what are you doing? Should we get one of them? No, absolutely not. Third person. Third person we have to call every week. I don't like it.
Starting point is 00:12:30 And then because we always change the times and we're late and whatever and it's like weird hours. Let's make somebody do that. Work by our weird schedule. Somebody would do it probably. But also the kind of person that would do that. Why want them here? We don't want them here.
Starting point is 00:12:42 No. I think that's part of the reason why we have never filmed it because i'm like i'll probably need a third person for this you know what i mean we need we need like i see that's the thing i don't think we need a producer guy i think we need like a tech guy yes like on a not in that way but like in a like in a like in a he's in a remote location we call him up in emergencies yeah he does some hacking yeah and then he tells us whether he hacks the Pentagon mainframe. Sure.
Starting point is 00:13:07 And as a result, he can tell us whether this is a crowdfunded movie or not. Yeah, okay. Exactly. He's on watch lists. It's just. Not our problem. Not our problem at all. We're in a different location.
Starting point is 00:13:17 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So there you go. Do you want some Marvel news? I was going to say it looks interesting. Yeah, it does. It does look interesting. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:23 I like him a lot. It feels like, did you ever see Super? Oh, you saw Super. Yeah, the Brian Wilson one. Did you ever see Defendor? What's Defendor? Defendor was Woody Harrelson. It was a movie about sort of a, like a mentally challenged man
Starting point is 00:13:37 who thought he was a superhero. Okay. And it was kind of like, it was like a family drama and had a bit of crime elements to it. It was a really interesting movie. But it seems more like that, except I think in this he probably is a superhero. All right, there you go. His name's Max Fist.
Starting point is 00:13:53 Yeah, I'm just looking to see if it is crowdfunded. Production of the House of the Dead, what else is going on in the room? It doesn't seem to have got the distribution rights picked up. I like that Joe Maginello. I like him a lot. And he's got that great beard. He's got a great beard.
Starting point is 00:14:07 He should be in everything. He's also really funny. When we talked about our Spider-Man for the Caravan of Garbage in the Spider-Man movies, I put a clip in from that Pete Holmes interview where he talks about how one of the people on set tried to give him like $100 to punch Tobey Maguire in the face. That's right. Accidentally.
Starting point is 00:14:22 Accidentally. Yeah, right. You should have done it. No, that would be rude. Yeah. And he's in Spider-Man 3. Is it the funeral of Harry Osborn? Is he?
Starting point is 00:14:32 Yeah. He is, yeah. There you go. Just threading a nerd over the open grave. Just holding my shirt collar. You want to go in there, nerd? You want to? So the Illuminati, the website, this might be a coincidence,
Starting point is 00:14:48 but apparently early days over at Marvel, but Kevin Feige is producing Marvel's Illuminati into a film. Oh, interesting. Well, I don't know if they say it could be a film or TV series or something. So this is, and it's been a long time since I've read anything Illuminati based. And it's changed over the years. Yeah, but when I read it, it was like a number of the sort of big hitters in the Marvel hero community.
Starting point is 00:15:13 I've got some lists here. They all sort of get together at the round table and they chat about. Shooting the Hulk into space. Yeah, there's a lot of like Fate of the Universe and Fate of the Earth kind of things. So sometimes there's Mr. Fantastic's involved. Doctor Strange is in there sometimes. Yep.
Starting point is 00:15:28 Black Panther. Black Panther. Black Bolt. Oh, yeah. I think Beast is sometimes in it or Professor X. I know Professor X has been in it. Sometimes they each get an Infinity Stone. Yeah, right, right, right.
Starting point is 00:15:39 For whatever reason. Uh-huh. Yeah. And so they're sort of from different groups in the Marvel Universe. Yeah, right. They're not like the core Avengers. It's like different areas or teams. Exactly. And so they're sort of from different groups in the Marvel universe. Yeah, right. They're not like the core Avengers. It's like different areas or teams or something like that. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:15:48 So they're all like – I was going to say they all have to sneak away from their wives to do it. But it's just Mr. Fantastic, yeah. Yeah. Well, he could be in the other room. He could stretch out. That's true. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:16:00 Yeah. He thinks he's sitting on the couch next to him. They could be out bowling or something. Yeah. He's like, honey, I'm so good at this, I could bowl with my head over in that pub across the street. And he swoops over there and he's like, I vote for shooting the Hulk into space.
Starting point is 00:16:17 Black Bolt never gets a vote because he can't talk. No, because he'd kill everybody. And they're all like, everybody in favour say aye, all against say nay. A bit silent over there, Black Bolt. Why are you even here, Black Bolt? Oh, you dumbass. If Black Bolt screamed at Mr Fantastic, would he destroy him
Starting point is 00:16:32 or would he just blow up like a big balloon or a sail on a boat? Good question. I reckon the dead one. I don't know if he would. Can you break Mr Fantastic? You can, can't you? I would say so. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:44 I don't know what the point of break-tion is. Because you could break the Miles Tallow one. He looks like he could stretch like three feet. Yeah, exactly. In the direction that he'd snap. Like a horrible rubber band filled with blood. There's a deleted scene where he stretches his arm to get something out of the fridge and it just snaps.
Starting point is 00:17:00 His arm just snaps off. In one of the movies, does he get frozen? He does get frozen, doesn't he? In one of the Fantastic Four movies. Maybe. Yeah, maybe. Maybe. I've got a vague memory of that.
Starting point is 00:17:14 It might be a different movie. It might be a cartoon. It could be a cartoon. It might be The Incredibles you're thinking of. It could be The Incredibles, yeah. It might be like one of those videos you see on Facebook where it's like, we put liquid nitrogen on this rubber band. We see what happens when we wrap it around a guy's neck. In slow motion. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:17:28 Have you seen that video? No. What's it like? I don't know because I haven't seen it. You never do your research, Mason. That's the problem. Yeah, can you check it out and let me know. I'll get our guy in the sky. Yeah. Todd on the run, we'll call him. Okay. Because of the government. The government's got to get him. Because we made him do all the illegal stuff.
Starting point is 00:17:43 For no reason. We're like, we wrote it through the Pentagon service. So the New Mutants has a release date still of August 28th. I don't know if you saw it. I couldn't tell you what the link was, but some joke news website said recently. More like Old Mutants? Did they make that joke? No, that's our fresh classic joke.
Starting point is 00:18:07 It was Quibi commits to releasing one minute of New Mutants every year for the next 90 years. And we all had a big old laugh. Yeah. And then now they've released the first two minutes. Yes. Which makes this the way this movie's going. It looks pretty good.
Starting point is 00:18:23 It looks good. And the trailer as well looks good I'm way more interested in this than I was in Dark Phoenix Oh totally Because it looks different than every other X-Men movie They're fighting a bear They're fighting a bear and that's cool Because yeah so there's a clip released in the trailer
Starting point is 00:18:36 We're fighting a bear And our life's in grave danger And you don't even care Hand me that shotgun And also that chair It's a real song. Yeah. So, yes.
Starting point is 00:18:48 The trailer does reveal a lot, though. No. But it's only 98 minutes long or something like that. Wait, so are you saying it does or it does not reveal too much? No, it doesn't. You think so? No, it doesn't reveal a lot. Doesn't reveal that much.
Starting point is 00:19:02 I think it does reveal a lot. Because I didn't look too hard at it because i'm like i wanted going it's because the trailer sort of reveals the monsters in it yeah like oh yeah i guess so yeah you probably see like if you were like oh if you want to go if you want to go into this movie and go what a mystery if you want to be like i want to know i don't want to know what the mysterious forces are that are behind whatever's happening here yes don't watch the new couple of trailers. Great. Just straight up.
Starting point is 00:19:26 That's probably right, actually. But Big Bear, though. There is a Big Bear. There's a big Smokey Bear. Smokey Bear. It's Smokey the Bear's secondary mutation. Oh, really? He's become a bear of actual smoke.
Starting point is 00:19:37 I don't like that. I don't like it. Which is ironic for him because he wanted to stop forest fires. Did he? Yeah. Yeah. What a fool. You become the thing that you hate.
Starting point is 00:19:44 Something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Live long enough to become the Smokey Bear. That a fool. You become the thing that you hate. Something. Live long enough to become the smoky bear. That's right. Exactly right. So I think, I don't know whether they're going to keep this release date, but my understanding is, and we've talked about it before, that Disney are under contract, which was part of the $70 billion deal with Fox when they bought this property, among all the others,
Starting point is 00:20:03 to release this in cinemas no matter what. Yes. And then they also don't have streaming rights. That has to go to HBO, I think. Oh. So that being said, they could very well buy all that out and put it straight on Disney+. Yeah, there might be some sort of act of God clause in the contract
Starting point is 00:20:16 where it's like, if there's a pandemic, and then you'd be like, wait a second, Disney? How did you know about this in advance? Yeah, that's right. Exactly. So what could be happening here, though, is because they're obligated. We could get Todd on the run on this. We're going to hack into the Disney servers.
Starting point is 00:20:30 Probably more dangerous than hacking into the government servers. But still go through the Pentagon. Yeah, go through the Pentagon to Disney. Yes, exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I think they've got to fulfill this obligation. It looks like at this point, and this could change, to release this in a month.
Starting point is 00:20:43 And then they're like, we've done it. It's in cinemas yeah now it's on streaming we're done like we're done and that would be the cheapest way of doing it maybe again i don't know as opposed to buying out all the those other companies that it has to go through yes first which they could probably still do just buy everyone but in a year when they're not making money it seems at this point other i mean because you know parks are mostly shut down, mostly the money comes through Disney Plus, really. That's where they're making their money. Yes.
Starting point is 00:21:10 And merchant. I know they're bigger than – no movies is what I'm saying. Yeah. And parks. Minnie Mouse body pillows. Exactly. So – Sorry, Lady Mary and the Fox body pillows.
Starting point is 00:21:22 You laugh, Mason. Yes, at you because you're a perv. Actually, we watched that the other night. What's that? That Robin Hood movie. Oh, yeah. It's got a charm to it. It's not sexy, though, like you think it is.
Starting point is 00:21:34 I don't think that. You think that. I nearly tweeted a picture of it. I'm like, why fan the flames of this? It is. But you can't stop it, can you, with the internet? You can't stop it. No.
Starting point is 00:21:44 The internet decides what the things that i think you're attracted to are um did you see jenny nicholson's video on brony con this week yeah i was gonna talk about suggestible what an insane fandom yeah it gets ruined by losers because i didn't know anything about brony like all i knew was that there was my littleony the cartoon and then there were bronies and they're dudes and they love My Little Pony. Isn't that nice and positive?
Starting point is 00:22:10 And I'm like, good for them. What I didn't know based on this video is that these dudes just moved into this fandom of My Little Pony and immediately were like, what are you girls doing in here? It's My Little Pony. Name every My Little Pony. immediately were like what are you girls doing in here yeah it's my little pony what what's your name every name every my little pony and they like and they they like they didn't like the old my little pony toys yeah so they so they they demanded they could be you know remolded and to make him sexier there's weird sex stuff involved weird sex stuff yeah and what was really interesting as well i
Starting point is 00:22:42 didn't know this about her that she was so heavily into the fandom that she like influenced a lot of it and a lot of music and shows that she made her own fan edited versions yeah yeah which became part of the culture and worked its way into literally everything and then she meets that guy's like oh i can't believe you don't even know yeah right yeah and she was so she was so like such a well-known cultural figure in that that a woman started claiming to be her. Like I provide the voices for this animated re-editor, whatever it is, and she couldn't do them live, but she claimed that they fixed it in post or whatever.
Starting point is 00:23:17 Isn't that crazy? Yeah. And she's good at voices. I didn't know that. It's a great video. It's fascinating to me. And the fandom is maybe done forever, I think. Also, the dude from Star Trek came in and just like-
Starting point is 00:23:30 Oh, John Delancey, yeah. Became like this figurehead of it who also hated it at the same time. Yeah. Fascinating. Yeah, anyway, check out that video. What else we got here, Mason? New Mutants, we talked about that, didn't we? Giant Bear, Giant Smoky Bear.
Starting point is 00:23:42 The Boys. Yeah, season two. Season two. We got a clip from season two, which Bear, Giant Smokey Bear. The Boys. Yeah, Season 2. Season 2. We got a clip from Season 2, which is coming out September 4th. The Boys versus The Deep. And a big whale. A big whale, yes. Spoiler alert, they drive a speedboat through a whale.
Starting point is 00:23:55 Yes, that's right. Would that work? I don't know. It doesn't matter. You've got to believe in yourself and maybe it will. That's exactly it. They also confirmed Season 3, so they obviously have a lot of faith in this show to keep it going. I'm very much looking forward to this.
Starting point is 00:24:07 It was one of my favourite shows from last year, I think, wasn't it? Yeah, it was. It was one of my favourite shows. Do your research, Shane. It was, all right? Get it together. I'll try. So, yeah, I mean, there's nothing else to really say about that
Starting point is 00:24:21 other than I'm glad that they are continuing to make that show about horrible people. Everyone's the worst. Yeah. I like that guy who plays Huey. What's his name? I can't remember. There's another thing I saw recently.
Starting point is 00:24:32 Love Wedding Repeat? I don't know. Let's get on with it, Max. Let's get on. Do I have any more thoughts about the boys? What I enjoyed, there's just a very brief moment in it where the Deep realizes that, yes, they will drive a speedboat through a whale. Yeah, that's right. in it where the Deep realises that, yes,
Starting point is 00:24:43 they will drive a speedboat through a whale. Yeah, that's right. Like he's filled with an Aquaman level of confidence where he's like, well, obviously they won't harm this beautiful, majestic creature of the sea. And then they're like, yeah, we'll just speedboat through it. That's great, yeah. We Can Be Heroes, Mason. You familiar with it?
Starting point is 00:25:00 The ABC. No, not that one. Oh, a different, better one. A different version, not that guy. I think I saw the name floating about this week, but I don't know what it is. Because Robert Rodriguez is working on the film called We Can Be Heroes for Netflix,
Starting point is 00:25:12 which is going to have an adult version of Shark Boy and Lava Girl. Oh, his character's from? Lava Boy and Shark Girl. Is that in the Spy Kids universe? Maybe. It looks the same. It's in that era. I don't know whether it's the same. Let's just say yes. So it's grown-up versions of Maybe. It looks the same. It's in that era. I don't know whether it's the same.
Starting point is 00:25:26 Let's just say yes. So it's grown-up versions of them. Yeah, because Taylor Lautner was in that. He was Shark Boy. Who was Lava Girl? I can't remember. Okay. Because I've never seen it.
Starting point is 00:25:34 Apparently it's awful. Let's get told on it. The people who watched it, yes, the people who watched it at the time when our kids have like a real fondness for it. Yeah, of course. Yeah. Which is how things work and nostalgia works. Okay. Yeah. Which is how things work and nostalgia works. Okay.
Starting point is 00:25:45 Yeah. But they have a kid who has powers, both of their powers. Okay. He's going to follow a group of super-powered kids whose superhero parents have mysteriously vanished. With the parents gone, it's up to the kids to save the world. It's wild to me that Robert Rodriguez fluctuates between these universes.
Starting point is 00:26:00 Isn't it, though? It's either super-kid friendly. Yeah, yeah. Everything in front of a greed screen, spy madness, or just like really gory and awful. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Do you think Uncle Machete will be in this?
Starting point is 00:26:11 Well, that's the thing, isn't it? I like that he's the anchor character between the universes. I never saw any of those. Were there two Machete movies? Yes. I've never seen either of them. There was Machete and Machete Kills. That's right. Have you seen them?
Starting point is 00:26:23 Yes. Are they good? So do you think he works better? I watched them both like in the sense of like, well, I'll put them on and then I'll sort of go to the kitchen. Transformer style. Yeah. You watched them Transformer style.
Starting point is 00:26:34 Yeah, exactly. Yeah, you didn't really watch them. So, yeah, I wonder if this is going to be a kid-friendly thing. I'd imagine so if it's super powered kids, but, yeah. I mean, maybe this is. Maybe it isn't. Exactly, yeah. Maybe this is a chance to be like. I'm going to research if it's superpowered kids, but yeah. I mean, maybe this is his chance to be alive. Maybe it isn't. I don't know. Exactly, yeah. Maybe this is his chance to be alive.
Starting point is 00:26:46 Do you want me to research if it's the same universe? Yes, please. Okay. I'm just messaging Todd. Okay, good. They've probably taken place in the same universe. Yeah. Apparently.
Starting point is 00:26:57 And also all of these movies maybe take place in the same universe. Planet Death? Death Planet, is it? Planet Terror. Planet Terror, is it? I don't know. I don't know. There you bloody go.
Starting point is 00:27:08 Mason, we've got some- Do you think he'd be willing to compromise and sort of give us a- like straight down the middle where it's like- it's more of a- what if he went like- I'll do it Marvel style where it's like it's got adult jokes and whatever. Sure. But it's also kids can watch it.
Starting point is 00:27:21 Yeah, right. Do you think he'd put it in the middle? Do you think he's willing to compromise? Or do you think he's – because he seems pretty – I think he's one or the other. Yeah, he seems very committed to I'll make some kid movies and I'll make some horribly violent adult movies, but I'll never put them in the middle.
Starting point is 00:27:34 But what if he does? What if that's his plan all along? Yeah, maybe. You might be right. I think – I doubt I am, but yes. Maybe. I wonder if it's ever been done.
Starting point is 00:27:43 I don't think it has, where you could make things set in the same universe where there's also a very kid-friendly version going on. It's like a side story to the main story. I'm sure Star Wars have done that, like droids. Yeah, I've never seen a live-action version of anything like that or even a cartoon version of that. Depending on the Marvel movie you could say or the show you could say. Like Daredevil is different than, you know, like The Avengers.
Starting point is 00:28:04 Yeah, that's true. First Avengers, for example. So there Avengers. Yeah, that's true. First Avengers, for example. So there you go. And that's something, isn't it? It sure is something. Ready for date changes? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Get your diary out, Mason. Okay, here we go. Here we go. Spider-Man. Todd, put these in my diary. Why are the Pentagon? Yes, I know you're involved in a pitch gun battle right now with government agents. It's not important.
Starting point is 00:28:25 You've got two hands, don't you? One on your gun, one on your BlackBerry. It's that easy. BlackBerry's still- They still exist. Did you ever have one? Nope. No.
Starting point is 00:28:34 They always seemed awful to me. I look at that keyboard, I'm like- I always contemplate, I'm like, what if I was a business guy? You know, I'd have a tiny little keyboard. I'm not a business guy. That's right, exactly. I'm a podcasting boy. Yeah. Feels good. I'm not a business guy. That's right, exactly. I'm a podcasting boy. Yeah, feels good.
Starting point is 00:28:47 I'm going to live forever. I'm the Peter Pan of podcasting. Great. Spider-Man 3, Home 3, whatever it's going to be called. Far From Home, Home for Christmas, Home on the Range. Yeah, yeah. Home. Just home.
Starting point is 00:29:06 Everybody in the post is just like Real exhausted We're not teens anymore clearly are we They've just left Like Tom Holland's wearing the upper half of the Spider-Man suit And the bottom half's just like the grey leggings with the dots on them Nobody's filled in the CGI Nobody cares anymore Nobody cares
Starting point is 00:29:20 So it's moved its date Get ready for this November 21st of next year to December. No, just November. I haven't got the exact date. Maybe it is. But from November next year. James, what am I writing down?
Starting point is 00:29:32 November to December. They've moved it a month. Okay. So presumably all production has been moved. December 2021. Okay. Just in time for Christmas. That's right.
Starting point is 00:29:40 Home in time for Christmas. Home in time for Christmas. You think they do a Christmas one? Have we done a Marvel Christmas movie? Has there been one? Iron Man 3, technically. It is too. But it's not a Christmas. Home in time for Christmas. You think they do a Christmas one? Have we done a Marvel Christmas movie? Has there been any? Iron Man 3, technically. Oh, there's two. But it's not a Christmas movie, is it?
Starting point is 00:29:49 No. It's not in the traditional sense, Mason. Do you think people watch Iron Man 3 at Christmas? No. I mean, all of his movies are set Christmas, aren't they? I have Christmas themes and Shane Black stuff. Yeah, a lot of them are. I believe so.
Starting point is 00:30:01 Except for The Predator. Yeah, but maybe it is. Maybe it is. We don't know. Yeah. It's true. I love believe so. Except for The Predator. Yeah, but maybe it is. Maybe it is. We don't know. Yeah. It's true. I love that movie.
Starting point is 00:30:08 Just kidding. Awful. A Quiet Place has been moved out of this year from September to April of next year. Okay. So, A Quiet Place 2. Maybe he could make some more news. Or he sold it, didn't he, or something, didn't he? That's true, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:24 Well, maybe he could be a producer on some good news. That's right. Exactly. Yeah. didn't he? That's true, yeah. Well, maybe he could be a producer on some good news. That's right, exactly. Also, Top Gun Loser has moved from December of this year to, and you'll love this, July 4th, 2021. We're saluting the troops. We're saluting, that's right. Saluting the troops.
Starting point is 00:30:38 And by troops, I mean Tom Cruise. And each other. Yep. It's the three troops that exist. Sorry, Todd, you missed out. But it's us two and Tom Cruise, all three troops. So that makes sense, doesn't it? Yep. That's the perfect movie for that weekend.
Starting point is 00:30:52 So I'm looking forward to re-watching that for Caravan of Garbage, I guess. With any luck, you know, the pandemic will be gone. Like shamdemic, is what I call it. Very good. It's real, by the way, everyone. Restrictions will be lifted and we can just have a barbecue in the cinema. Oh, my God. Or just get the grill going in the cinema.
Starting point is 00:31:09 Yeah, just grill it up. You know? You can do some bricquettes, some charcoal bricquettes. Yes. I don't do that. We're more of a gas society, aren't we? Yes, we are a gas society. Yes.
Starting point is 00:31:20 I'm a barbecue. Oh, I thought you meant like in Mad Max. Okay. We're an entirely gas-based society. Gas in Australia is not gas in America because gas in Australia is petrol. That's what we call it. Just so people don't know. It's propane.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Have you ever had a woodfly? It's better though, isn't it? Like a wood-fired barbecue. What is happening here? Why is he doing this? It's Christmas.
Starting point is 00:31:42 I'm glad he can't hear this. Listeners, if you know what he's doing here, he's losing his mind. He's gone full dad. I don't understand. He's just talking about barbecuing now. I mean, I started it, but it's hardly my fault. Exactly. I'm doing your research.
Starting point is 00:31:54 Exactly what, James? I don't know what he's talking about. He's losing his mind. He's absolutely flipping his lid. I don't understand. He's just gone full grill talking about briquettes. I didn't bring up briquettes. Would you like some more dates of things that have moved?
Starting point is 00:32:06 Yes. Variety have reported that Tenet. I think it is tenant shit. It's not tenant. It's Tenet. It's not tenant. If anything, it's T-net. Do you see what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:32:19 Yes. It's not T-E-N-E-N-T. It's Tenet. What if it's T-N-E-T? What if that's the twistT. It's Tenet. What if it's Teen E.T.? What if that's the twist? It would be Ten E.T. What's in the vault? It's a Teen E.T.
Starting point is 00:32:31 It would be Ten E.T., so there would be ten of them. Todd, check the vault at the Pentagon. I reckon it's Teen E.T. I'm going to find out how old E.T. is because I think he's old. Yeah, yeah. But, I mean, there's more than one. Yes, I know, but him. I think he's like hundreds of years old. Yeah, right, right, right more than one. Yes, I know, but him. I think he's like hundreds of years old.
Starting point is 00:32:45 Yeah, you're right. According to the novelisation, E.T. is over 10 million years old and he's a plant-like creature, neither male nor female. So there you go. We'll learn some things about E.T. Or as I call it, it. Right, what have we got? Look, all I'm saying is I'm putting my money on this being a teen E.T. movie.
Starting point is 00:33:03 Okay. So he's in the vault. That's why they need the masks because he's a plant-based life form. How old would a teen ET be? 15. So not like comparison to like 10 million years. He'd just be 15. Teen ET.
Starting point is 00:33:17 It's in the name, James. I know, but I'm talking about a comparative lifespan here. Yeah, one's 10 million and one's 15. It's like with dog years is what I'm saying. He's just out the front of like a convenience store. He's asking people to buy him beer. So he could have been because he's a drunk. Yes.
Starting point is 00:33:33 So that could have been the actual same ET from Star Wars because Star Wars happened a long time ago. Yeah, maybe. Not teen ET. No, the regular ET could have been. Okay, great. So here's the thing about teen ET. Okay.
Starting point is 00:33:44 It's going to be released late August. It was going to be. No, the regular ET could have been. Okay, great. So here's the thing about Teen ET. Okay. It's going to be released late August. It was going to be. But it's still getting that release date. But this is according to Warner Brothers chairman Toby Emmerich. He says, we're not treating Teen ET like a traditional global day and date release. And our upcoming marketing and distribution plan will reflect that. Essentially, it looks like in August, depending on where you are
Starting point is 00:34:09 in the world, it's going to roll out. So parts of Europe and Asia, haven't heard anything about it here because- We're in parts of Asia. We're in parts of Asia. Australasia, they say. Asia Pacific sometimes. We're in that area. He's very dangerously close to the barbecue thing again, I feel.
Starting point is 00:34:23 I can just feel it. I wasn't even going to say anything. I'm going to push him out of this somehow. All I'm saying is if you want an Australasian barbecue, Mason, you put some pineapple and some meat on a skewer. It's got a bit of that flavour of the Orient. That's what Australian dads think is an Asian meal. Okay, that's actually very accurate.
Starting point is 00:34:41 Cooking some fruit on a barbecue. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. So not going to the US. So especially not, depending on the state, but especially not populations that are heavily, you know, under the influence of corona. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:34:55 Sure, yeah. You know what I'm trying to say here. They're just mad for corona. They're mad for corona. So, yeah, so that's often the US gets movies first. Well, that used to be the way. Yeah, yeah. And then it shifted.
Starting point is 00:35:06 We used to have to wait months. Do you remember that? Yeah. It was madness. I remember Star Wars came out like two weeks after here, The Phantom Menace, and I was flipping out. I'm like, are you fucking kidding me with this? George, George.
Starting point is 00:35:16 That's what I used to say. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And yeah, but now we get Marvel movies like a week early sometimes more. Which is good, I guess. So yeah, TNT., look forward to it. It also might not come out this month, next month, whenever it's supposed to come out. That's true, yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:30 So all of these are subject to change. We're going to come back next week. We're going to say the same movies but different dates. Different dates again. It's going to be wild. Okay, get a load of this, James. I'm ready. Teen E.T., TikTok home.
Starting point is 00:35:41 And then he does a dab. They don't do dabs on TikTok, Mason. They do a dance. They do some sort of elaborate miming dance. They do dances dab. They don't do dabs on TikTok, Mason. They do a dance. They do some sort of elaborate miming dance. They do dances, but they're not doing dabs. You sound like a dad at a barbecue doing a dab in front of a barbecue. That's what you're doing. Kids, who wants a sausage dab?
Starting point is 00:35:57 What am I doing? Okay. Yep. Milan has been delayed indefinitely. Disney were like, there's no date. We don't know. Movies like that and Teen E.T., they have to go to cinemas. They cannot afford not to.
Starting point is 00:36:15 That's true. Because even if they don't do as well, you'll still make more money by going to cinemas and then doing the digital release. So there you go. So are you looking forward to Milan? Yeah. Because I am.
Starting point is 00:36:25 Yeah, looks good. That probably won't be this year. Also, I've got some good news regarding things that are coming out. I'm prepared to listen. That have also been pushed back. This better not be the brand new Weber dual burner grill or whatever. You can have a rotating roast on there, Mason. You just leave it for a few hours with some briquettes make sure you put your seasoning
Starting point is 00:36:48 on obviously i've got a guy who does it if you need a seasoning guy okay yep do you have a guy legitimately who's like the barbecue guy and he talks like non-ironically about like he has to run every barbecue and organize the barbecue oh and be like and he's got like a book but just so whenever like having a barbecue he's like oh i got a guy, I've got a guy who does meat. Yeah, we all do. We all eat food. Okay.
Starting point is 00:37:10 But he's like, nah, my guy, like you don't understand. No, I understand. He gives me the choice cuts. Anyone else, he would throw them in the trash, but he gives me the good ones. I'm not here for it is what I'm saying. And then he brings the meat and it's exactly the same. It's fine. Yeah, exactly. It's exactly the same. It's fine. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:37:25 It's exactly the same. Who's the guy? Do I know him? Yeah, you know him. Who is it? Oh, yeah. You know him, yeah. Just to be clear, folks, this is post-edit.
Starting point is 00:37:33 I know exactly who you're talking about, James. And are you surprised? Not at all. So here we go. It's been pushed one year. But James Cameron's Avatar. Wait, what are we talking about? Avatar 2.
Starting point is 00:37:45 Okay, right, right. Oh, he put out, he was just like, these are the dates. Here we go. It's been pushed one year. But James Cameron's Avatar. Wait, what are we talking about? Avatar 2. Okay, right, right. He put out, he was just like, these are the dates. Here we go. I'm confirming this. December 2022, which was pushed a year to what it was supposed to be. Yes. December 2024, December 2026, December 2028. Wow.
Starting point is 00:38:01 I know. It's not that far, though, is it? I mean, it's just like an entire like high school for somebody it's just like a generation don't even worry about young people yeah yeah it's fine my kid will be like nearly a teenager by the time the last one comes out exactly that's fine i'll be dead obviously it's gonna be great so um yeah he released a statement saying that this is in relation to covid because even though they've filmed, I think, a lot of the first one and may have even finished.
Starting point is 00:38:27 I don't know where because they filmed them all at once. I have no idea. And they can obviously work in New Zealand, which is very much out of lockdown and crushing it. So, yeah, but anyway, those are the dates. Are you excited for an Avatar movie 13 years after the previous? I'm just fascinated to know what the look is going to be like because that that's i don't even i don't know what kind of 3d technology he's thinking
Starting point is 00:38:50 of this time because he's talking about glasses and no glasses 3d and yeah i can't wait till they have one cinema australia here that does it but it's in sydney and i never see it so excited pretty good right yeah um i don't look i don't know don't. I feel like my brain has reached the absolute maximum capacity of being impressed by a new screening technology. But I'm happy to be surprised. Like if I go in there and I'm like, wow, this is 3D and I don't have to do anything. But how many of those have you had within your life? Avatar. I mean, other than that, though.
Starting point is 00:39:19 Like little screens, I guess, when you're like, that's a good screen. Remember launch day for the PSP? We happened to be in a local plaza. Oh, yeah. And a mall, if you will. Yes. And a guy like sidled up to us and showed us his PSP that he bought. And he was like, look, I've got Stargate on this.
Starting point is 00:39:36 And we're like, true. The movie Stargate. Yes. Yeah, yeah. Pretty incredible. Was that a moment for you where you're like, wow. Yeah. Future Stargate.
Starting point is 00:39:44 That's James Spader on a small screen. Yeah. But is that good technology? Is that impressive to you? Yes. Yeah. I found the Switch really impressive for portable gaming. Folding screens, that's impressive to me.
Starting point is 00:39:56 Yeah, I do like folding screens. Like when you're dying. You want to roll up your phone like a 50. That's right. Put it in your mouth and smoke it. Don't, Mason. It's poisonous. You'll die. It's got all sorts of battery acid and stuff. What's in a phone? I don and smoke it. Don't, Mason. It's poisonous. You'll die.
Starting point is 00:40:05 It's got all sorts of battery acid and stuff. What's in a phone? I don't know. Magnesium, maybe. I don't know. I don't know what's in a phone. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:13 So, yeah, I'm also impressed by folding screens. You've seen that Samsung thing? Yes. That's like, it's too early days for me to get something like that. You don't get the first folding phone, do you? That's right. They were called those anyway, didn't they? Because people kept peeling the screen off. Oh, did like that you don't get the first folding phone that's right they record those anyway didn't they because people kept peeling the screen off oh did they i don't know the screen because the screen looked like a screen protector so people were peeling it all

Starting point is 00:44:22 You look like a wise old owl. Yeah, good. But a sexy wise old owl. A sexy wise old owl. Yeah, that's right. Thank you. Yeah, you're welcome. Star Wars is coming, pushed back a year also in 2023, 2025, 2027. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:34 And you may be thinking, does that coincide with the release of Avatar? Is what they've done there is put them in between the years? They have. They have done that. Yeah. Which is probably smarter, I think, distribution of Star Wars. And it's also, so we're not getting a Star Wars movie for another three years.
Starting point is 00:44:48 But we are, and we're going to talk about one in a minute, but we are getting multiple TV series. Another season of The Mandalorian, presumably. The Mandalorian's coming, and that's going to be this year. It is. They already filmed that, luckily. So, yeah, we also don't know what that is going to look like. Taika Waititi is working on one.
Starting point is 00:45:03 Rian Johnson's trilogy. I would say that's probably not happening at this point, though that's disappointing to me. Is there any Knives Out? Do we know? Have they written anything of Knives Out yet? Doing it. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:45:14 That's all I know about that. Spoilers for Knives Out. Ah, yes. For last time when I spoiled it. Ah, you're nice. Spoilers for Knives Out. Yes. Done.
Starting point is 00:45:23 We did it. I think it's a different cast except for Daniel Craig. Okay, right. Which is kind of a shame, but what else do you do with that family? You know what I mean? Well, that's true, exactly. I mean, I guess you could give a few of them guest spots, I guess. Like maybe Chris Evans' character knows something
Starting point is 00:45:39 and so he has to go to visit him in prison or something like that. So there we go. Star Wars. What do you want to see from Star Wars? More Star Wars just in January. Absolutely more Star Wars. You see John Boyega was. Star Wars. What do you want to see from Star Wars? More Star Wars just in January. Absolutely more Star Wars. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You see John Boyega was finished.
Starting point is 00:45:48 They're like, you excited to never do Star Wars again? He's like, no, I'm done. Done with Star Wars. Yeah, yeah. He's Harrison Fording and he's playing it cool. So he's going to come back in 20 years. Oh, you think he is going to come back? Yeah, that's what I think he's doing.
Starting point is 00:45:56 Yeah, right, right. Okay, yeah, yeah. They got a bit of advice there. Once the bad blood has subsided and once the fans, but do you think the fans are going to be like, we got to have this guy back? Yeah, definitely. I think so. I like him. I like him i like all that car yeah i like him too but i yeah i i don't i don't want to see a do you think do you think they're uh do you think they're a bit like him and and uh oscar isaac and and uh as he ridley do you think do you think they will do you think their experience like do you think that with time they'll be like yeah okay
Starting point is 00:46:24 in retrospect i didn't mind doing that. Everybody has a gut full of Star Wars when they're in them. It is the tradition that is as old as Star Wars itself. Yes, I guess that's true. But, you know, because Mark Hamill has always been kind of like. But have they ever been as publicly done with Star Wars? I think so. You think so?
Starting point is 00:46:41 Harrison Ford. I mean Harrison Ford for sure. He did nothing but, and Carrie Fisher was pretty clear that like, it was instrumental in my career, but like, it wasn't the thing that she liked. Yeah. You know what I mean? But, you know, you'd come back, why wouldn't you?
Starting point is 00:46:51 Because they'd be like, here's a lot of money. Lots of money. And also because people are like, well, the new characters aren't as good as the. Exactly, yeah. But, you know, a generation is going to, has grown up on these movies. Yes. And kids coming up now, over the next eight years,
Starting point is 00:47:04 over the next eight Avatar movies, well, they'll become their Star Wars. It's like the prequels became the kids' Star Wars of that era. That's true. They will become iconic characters as the years go on. And that's Star Wars news. Or is it? Because the Kessel Run transmission has said that Donald Glover is returning for a Lando-focused series.
Starting point is 00:47:23 Oh, I did see that, yeah. Great. They'd be paying him a lot, I did see that, yeah. Great. They'd be paying him a lot of money to do that, as they should, because he's a good Lando. I would like to, yeah, that's good. Again, I hate that era. I'm sick of it. Do you think they'll switch out young Lando and old Lando?
Starting point is 00:47:36 Do you think there'll be some old Lando in it also? Well, here's the thing. You could do. Because I think people would be like, whoa. But you could do old Lando, because wasn't there a bit in that where he's doing, like, the Lando Calrissian monologues or the diary of Lando Calrissian? Do you remember that bit?
Starting point is 00:47:50 In which bit? In the new one, in the solo. In solo, I don't remember that at all. He's recording like a hologram of himself. Oh, I see. And that whole thing is an Easter egg to a series of Lando books from like the 80s. There's like a trilogy of Lando books.
Starting point is 00:48:02 Oh, I see. Right, right. So it could be bookended with Billy Dee Williams. That's what I'm saying, yeah. Yes, in answer to your question, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I did the research. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:48:10 Thank you. As we expected and hoped for, yes. So, yeah, I think there could very well be. Also, because like Harrison Ford was, when he was in Indiana Jones, and I was going to say Hans Solo again, but he was in Indiana Jones, the young Indiana Jones, remember? Yes. He's in an episode of that.
Starting point is 00:48:26 He's like, I'm old. I'm old. I've got a beard because I filmed The Fugitive when I did this. That's what he yells into the camera. I'm in the middle of a different movie. I don't have time for this. That's a wrap on Harrison Ford. Yeah, close enough.
Starting point is 00:48:37 That'll do, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. I hate that show. Because if it's edutaining nature. Edutainment we've talked about. It hate that show. Because if it's edutainment, we've talked about it. It's probably revolutionary. It is because they did very expensive television.
Starting point is 00:48:51 It still looks pretty great. Do you think they could tie in Old Lando with that woman who's probably his daughter? They go on some adventures. They bookend and he goes, well, in order to find out your history, I'll have to go over here. Oh, I remember this from a million years ago. From my Kessel Run.
Starting point is 00:49:09 From the Kessel Run days, exactly. And then he tells the story of Solo. But then do you bring in that companion for no real reason? I guess you'd have to tie the narratives together. Also, Billy Dee Williams is like a million years old. He is a million years old, yeah. So you'd really just have him sitting at a bar going, I remember this. And he's talking to Nian Num, even though Nian Num's dead,
Starting point is 00:49:27 so you find out there's the ghost of Nian Num. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nian Num was never there in the first place. No, he wasn't. Do you remember when Nian Num died? Yeah. Probably. He's the guy with the weird, he's got the melty face.
Starting point is 00:49:38 Yeah, he's like, oh, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I'm just looking up, yeah, okay, sorry. I just had to look up a thing for the next segment. But, yeah, so there you go, Lando series, good. I don't love Solo, but I think it's very well cast. Yep. And I'd like to see, yeah, sure, why not? Do you think we'll get old and Aaron Rock in there?
Starting point is 00:49:55 I hope so because he's really good. Yeah. And what an impossible role to fill. Yeah. And he did like a really decent job at it. And I think we, and, you know, maybe also people's opinion would probably soften of him or people's, you know, would become more positive if he's only in it briefly, I think.
Starting point is 00:50:13 Yeah, right. Like the more exposure to that people, I think it'd be like, he's still not, he doesn't embody, he doesn't embody Hot Solo. But if he's just in it for like a couple of episodes or, you know, a few scenes and, you know, a few scenes and you, you know, I also feel like did Solo really build their rivalry? Not really, I don't think. So, I mean, and you know.
Starting point is 00:50:33 Well, it was supposed to be a trilogy anyway. Yeah, but I think, you know, because when we get to Empire Strikes Back, there's clearly a significant amount of bad blood. Yeah. So maybe this series could. Yes. Could explore that and really. I would like that a lot.
Starting point is 00:50:44 Yeah. Yeah. Also, you could, if it was a a lando series you could technically set it like after return of the jedi you probably wouldn't that's true yeah because there would be that cognitive dissonance yeah but it's still uh you could i don't think they will right good yeah i don't think they like jumping using different eras of characters, except Mon Mothma, which they actually did do. Oh, I see. But, yeah, there's plenty of unexplored time. Yes, there is. You know, we've basically not seen.
Starting point is 00:51:12 Do you think they'll adapt to these Lando books you keep banging on about? No, because they're like 80s out of canon and they're not. Like they're remembered, but they're not like beloved, I guess. Okay, right, right, right. I would say. And I haven't read them. Star Wars Explained, I think, dude, you know him. I don't know if you know him.
Starting point is 00:51:26 Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, Alex. He's done something. I think he's done a review of them. Where would you like this series to go? Do you think it should be silly and swashbuckling? Yes. Like the Lando comic.
Starting point is 00:51:35 Did you read the Lando comic? No, I didn't, but I'll write it down. I'm going to write it down. It's one of the best Star Wars comics. Yeah, silly and swashbuckling in answer to your question. Do you want a serious undercurrent, though? Or do you want a serious Silly all the time? Not even Silly, but just like Lando.
Starting point is 00:51:50 What would Lando be doing? He'd be getting up to weird hijinks and stuff. Yeah, yeah, he'd be being smooth. Good news, Mason. Oh, yes. Bill and Ted Face the Music gets a release date and a new trailer. Don't watch it if you have because it gives away too much, I feel. But I was like, God damn, this looks good.
Starting point is 00:52:06 So it's got a release date of September 1st in cinemas and VOD. Oh, okay. I'll watch that VOD. I'm not leaving my house. No, absolutely not. For any reason. Very excited for that. Did you watch the trailer?
Starting point is 00:52:18 I did. Did you? I don't feel it revealed too much. Okay, cool. I don't know. It just looks fun and positive and light and nice and I get to re-watch the old ones beforehand and that's cool.
Starting point is 00:52:29 Yeah. So the lead singer of Faith No More is in number two. Mike Patton. Mike Patton's in it. Yeah. I don't know. I want to see what Station's doing and those Bill and Ted robots that they built. Do you think they were going to be? Yeah, I think they're going to do it all. Oh my goodness. Yeah, absolutely. Well, Death is back. Death's back. Looks
Starting point is 00:52:45 exactly the same, by the way. Right, yes. That's makeup, isn't it? That is makeup, yeah. Make your head look like a skull. So yeah, that is some good news among all the pushbacks and multiple Avatar movies we're getting. We are, here's something good. Well, I hope this bastion of positivity doesn't disappoint you in any way, because it'll
Starting point is 00:53:01 really crush you, I think. I'll take good enough for this one. Okay, great. Good, good, good. Yeah, so it also looked expensive to put out on VOD as well. You know what I mean? Yeah. It's like a pretty high-budget film. What was the last big thing? Oh, was it Scoob?
Starting point is 00:53:15 Yeah. Did that break some records? I think that did well. Yeah, it did pretty well. Trolls 2 did well. Yeah, uh-huh. A few others that I can't remember. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:23 Will this make its money back on VOD? Probably not. Probably not. But it's worth a shot, huh? That's right. Presumably everybody's been paid. Yeah, hopefully. Maybe it'll do really well.
Starting point is 00:53:33 And also it is getting the cinema release. Yes. According to Joe Blow, we're up to some Snyder Cut news, Mason. Oh, I'm excited. The first bit of news is about where it sits in relation to the other DC movies in the universe. Okay. So is it canon, is it not?
Starting point is 00:53:45 This is what Zack Snyder said. So frankly, the DC cinematic universe has branched like a tree and blossomed and grown in amazing and great ways. But for me, where Justice League falls, I believe it really starts to represent its own path. It's kind of separate from the DC cinematic universe continuity. It's divergent in that way, and I think that's a good thing. Very diplomatic.
Starting point is 00:54:07 So, yeah. Also, shout out to the Divergent Universe. Woo! Right? Pretty good, right? No. Which one did you like? Allegiant.
Starting point is 00:54:15 That was your favourite? I liked Detergent. They're all good, though. Thank you. It's good stuff. Thanks, Mason. Just a riff there. You should have riffed that earlier instead of the titanium thing
Starting point is 00:54:25 which you cut out earlier. That was cut out? That was cut out. The Collins cut out. Yeah, the whole bit, which I enjoyed. Will people demand the titanium cut? Yes, I hope so. So the other thing is we're going to have first –
Starting point is 00:54:38 it's Zack Snyder hosted a panel. Joss Whedon cancelled his. We'll just leave that there because I think there's going to be more information concerning the goings on behind the scenes. So he did reveal. He didn't reveal too much because they're going to show an actual trailer at the DC FanDome event that's coming up. That's right.
Starting point is 00:54:56 But we did get a clip. And what was that clip, Mason? Oh, my God, a clip like you wouldn't believe. So it was a clip of the titular Superman of the Justice League. I know him. And he's got the black suit on. Yes. He's got the black resurrection suit on.
Starting point is 00:55:12 That's right. Yeah. It's actually a deleted scene from the Blu-ray. So it is a Joss Whedon scene, but in that scene the suit is coloured. And what they did, they digitally altered it to make it the black suit. Yes. So this is what I'm talking about in terms of like it is the Snyder cut, but it is not the same one that he was going to initially release.
Starting point is 00:55:33 Yes, exactly. I mean maybe he planned to film it in colour and then digitally alter it. I don't know. Which seems crazy. What I read is that, and here's my cockamamie theory, is I think this is all shenanigans. It's a bunch of BS. It is a bunch of BS.
Starting point is 00:55:49 It's a bunch of boos and hoos. BS, which stands for poppycock is what it is. Because what I read, Snyder said that his plan, because obviously this footage is real because there's a version of it in one of the trailers. Yes, there is. Which might be an alternate take, I think, where Alfred says, oh, he said you'd come.
Starting point is 00:56:09 Just in time. Exactly. And, I mean, maybe in that version we're meeting a new character, like maybe it was Martian Manhunter or something. But what Snyder said was that he went to Warner Brothers and he said, we're going to need a black suit. And Warner Brothers was like, no. Like, so his contention is that they were going to produce a scene
Starting point is 00:56:31 like this and they went to Warner Brothers, the juggernaut that had already given them $200 million or whatever, and said, we need one specific thing. And they're like, we will not give you the one specific thing, the fan favourite thing that is already in the source material. We will not give you the one specific thing, the fan favourite thing that is already in the source material. We will not give you that. And so rather than just get one of the existing Superman suits, like one of the duplicates
Starting point is 00:56:55 they have, and just airbrushing it black, they went, well, let's film it like this and then send it off to the visual effects guys and get it tweaked. Strange. It is strange. let's film it like this and then send it off to the visual effects guys and get it tweaked. Strange. It is strange. So I'm not saying that I think it's a good thing. He's making the version, even if it's altered, he's making the version that he now wants to make.
Starting point is 00:57:15 I feel like he's saying, well, it was always a plan to do this. I don't know if it was. I think. There is a deleted scene of you see the black suit. Yeah, right. You know, like the chamber opens up and he chooses the regular suit. He chooses the regular one or whatever. Or it's implied that he does. But I don't Yeah, right. You know, like the chamber opens up and it – And he chooses the regular suit. Chooses the regular one or whatever. Uh-huh. Yeah, or it's implied that he does.
Starting point is 00:57:27 But I don't know, man. The other thing is he mentioned is that it's going to use zero of the Justice League cut. But isn't this – didn't you just say this is Justice – No, no, this is his. That's a film that he – that's a shot that he shot. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:43 Yeah. Like it just doesn't – it seems suspicious to me that he that's a shot that he shot that's what i'm talking about yeah yeah like it just does it seems suspicious to me that he would go we can't we can't just use an existing superman suit and spray paint it black but we can just film it like this and then send it to a visual effects team yeah i'll charge a million dollars because it is like how how how water brothers catching the the black suit order but they're not catching the million dollars of digital effects to fix it. I think he, I think he, some of this is just him going,
Starting point is 00:58:08 going, well, obviously my plan was to please all the real, the real true fans and the real true friends wanted the black suit. So that's, I always had the plan to make, to put the black suit. Sure. No,
Starting point is 00:58:16 you didn't. You're a liar. You're a liar. Maybe you did though. We don't know, but yeah, I think it's, I know.
Starting point is 00:58:22 I think it, you know, I think it's a more, I agree with you though. I think it's a more recent alteration. You know. I think it's a more. I agree with you, though. I think it's a more recent alteration. Yeah, I think they did it this week. It wouldn't surprise me, though. Also, it looks bad.
Starting point is 00:58:30 Does it? Yeah. I don't think it does. It doesn't look great. It's a pretty low-res video. Yeah, maybe. Maybe that's what I'm thinking, yeah. I'm not too stressed about it.
Starting point is 00:58:36 I think it's. Oh, the other thing is it's about two hours and 15 minutes. Or maybe it's 215 minutes. What do we got here? Okay. Hang on. Let me check that out. If you could do some homework.
Starting point is 00:58:45 Yeah, I will. Justice League runtime is at's 215 minutes. What do we got here? Hang on. Let me check that out. If you could do some homework. Yeah, I will. Justice League runtime is at least 215 minutes. So what is that in hours, Mason? That's nearly – that's over three hours. Yeah. So I would say this is probably going to be either a series or a two-parter or something like that. So there you go.
Starting point is 00:59:00 Yeah, I wouldn't surprise me though if they do end up putting some Snyder Cut stuff in, not some Justice League stuff in. Yes. Just even if it's like background templates or you just need Cyborg to stand there in whatever scene. Do you know what I mean? We need more Cyborg standing around. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:59:16 What I'm saying is like you've got to use, they're piecing this together from things that they already have for the most part. Obviously there are additions that they can do digitally, but I'd be surprised if there was literally nothing because he was always planning to do reshoots. Yes. But he didn't, wasn't able to do them for whatever reason. Do you think if Ben Affleck goes to his mailbox one day and he opens it up and there's a box and he opens the box and inside the box is just like a huge
Starting point is 00:59:41 wad of cash and like a, like a green screen, like a, it's just a, it covers his entire face, but just the mouth bit is open. And they're just like, we need you to record some additional Batman dialogue. We just need your mouth and we'll paste it on an existing Batman footage. You just got to put the mask on and there's a camera in there.
Starting point is 01:00:01 Can you do it? Yeah. Yeah. Or they get him on Cameo. Yeah. They sign up to Cameo and they get him to do the dialogue there. Can you do it? Yeah. Yeah. Or they get him on Cameo. Yeah. They sign up for Cameo and they get him to do the dialogue there. And then he does it for 50 bucks. Just like 50 bucks a pop.
Starting point is 01:00:10 Yeah. What an idiot. But you have to wear a green sock. Yes, that's right. Yeah. I don't know. I think they could probably digitally put his face in regardless. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:20 But so no, I don't think they're going to send him a green sock. Okay. Where's your sense of fun? I know. I'm sorry. The only time you have any fun is when you're over the top of that Weber. That's right. They have digital doubles of everybody.
Starting point is 01:00:39 That's true. And all of these things. Yeah. So anyway, we'll find out more about that in the FanDome event coming up in August 22nd or something like that. I can't remember. So we're going to get a brand new trailer. And that's Comic-Con, wasn't it?
Starting point is 01:00:53 Yep. We didn't even woo. Woo, everyone. Woo? You did it. All right. Go through stuff. And there might be more stuff after this or stuff that we've missed.
Starting point is 01:01:03 Go through some stuff and I'll give you my relative woos. The DC Universe streaming service is ending. That's not a comic content. Rick and Morty. Woo. Computer battery is running very low. Woo. That Illuminati thing, no.
Starting point is 01:01:20 The New Mutants. Woo. The boys. Surprising amount of woo. Yeah, the boys. Standard amount of woo, but I'm positive mutants. Woo. The boys. Surprising amount of woo. Yeah. The boys. Ah, standard amount of woo, but I, you know,
Starting point is 01:01:27 I'm positive about that. Definitely. Good woos. We can be heroes. Robert Rodriguez. Yeah. Bunch of date changes, which aren't really comic con stuff.
Starting point is 01:01:36 Wow. And then of course, Bill and Ted. Woo. And Snyder Cut. Woo. So there's good stuff here. There's some good stuff.
Starting point is 01:01:43 Yeah. I think my biggest woo for there might have been. There's no like. New Mutants might have been my biggest woo. Yes. Surprisingly. Yeah. Well, it looks good.
Starting point is 01:01:50 Astoundingly. Genuinely, it looks, you know, different. Yes. But there's no like the reveal of Batman, Superman. Remember when they revealed that logo? Yeah, and everybody went woo, I remember. There's nothing like that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:02 But there's some solid, for an online thing, this is a pretty solid liner, I would say. So all in all, good job on this thing, Mason. Thank you. Do you know what it's time for then? Oh, is it time for what we're reading? What we're going to read. I'm doing a thing.
Starting point is 01:02:22 What are we reading today? Do you think it's funny again, Mason? Did you ever think it was funny? I think it's funny, but for a different way. Okay. What are we reading? Well, I thought a good way to kick off what are we reading, Mason? Yes, James, go ahead.
Starting point is 01:02:35 Both of us re-read, we read Batman Year One, because for Big Sandwich this week, and it will be up right now. Oh, is it up now already? It will be. My goodness. By the time this goes out, that Batman Year One is a. Oh, is it up now already? It will be. My goodness. By the time this goes out. Batman You Won is a comic book, isn't it? It sure is, yes.
Starting point is 01:02:49 And we're doing a book club. Yes, with the inaugural episode of the Big Sandwich Classic Comic Book Club. That's right. Yes. You've given the game away on the title, Mason. That's pretty good, though. That's pretty great. If our insightful commentary on a classic comic book isn't enough to to get people to subscribe to big we don't know what you want
Starting point is 01:03:08 then a silly name will do it that's right you know so all the back catalog is currently there at the moment including the commentaries and this new thing we're going to be doing monthly we talk more about that in the episode that we do it is exclusive for that it's nine dollars a month which ends up being less than 250 a week we don't know the amount we've never figured it out and we can't figure it out don't message us because you've figured it out and we can't figure it out. Don't message us because you can't. I've been awake so long. You can't figure it out either at home. Yeah, don't even try.
Starting point is 01:03:31 Don't bother. Don't even try. Unless like maybe subscribe for a few months. Yes. And then look at your bank statements. Yeah. And then maybe figure it out in some sort of algorithm. But even then you can't figure it out.
Starting point is 01:03:41 You can't figure it out. Just keep subscribing. Yeah, that's right. Anyway, we're very excited. I had a really good time recording that episode. It's a little bit longer probably than the standard episode will be because there's a lot behind Batman Year One and we get into some other Frank Miller stuff
Starting point is 01:03:51 and the movie that came out and its inspirations and things like that. But, yeah, I think it was a really fun episode. So it's exclusively going to be there. That's right. So that is up there right now if you do want to check it out. Again, you do not have to. Everything else that has never been on there will remain not on there. That's right. So that is up there right now if you do want to check it out. Again, you do not have to. Everything else that has never been on there will remain not on there. That is correct, yes.
Starting point is 01:04:09 Including Transformers this week. That's right. We did the hat trick of the first three Transformers. And are we going to do more? We'll see. Probably. I just want to see more Oscar award winning actors just running around screaming.
Starting point is 01:04:23 Yeah, me too. As things explode. That's what I want. That's all I want. That's all we all want. I'm also read, I read Here's Negan, which is Robert Kirkman
Starting point is 01:04:31 and Charlie Adler. Yes. It's the continuation of The Walking Dead. It's a prequel that tells the origin stories of Negan, the villain from The Walking Dead.
Starting point is 01:04:40 Oh. So this is, he did it, I think is also kind of. That's a great title. Here's Negan. Is it, does it look wacky? Does it look like a Warner Brothers cartoon? No, it looks I think, as also kind of. That's a great title. He is naked. Does it look wacky? Does it look like a Warner Brothers cartoon?
Starting point is 01:04:48 No, he looks like a man who cave your head in with a baseball bat. But he talks, it's, he's, part of the reason I think Robert Kirkman said he was doing it is because he wants something that he can send to comic book distributors, like in stores, so they've got something to sell. And I think a lot of the profits also go to stores as well. Oh, okay, that's nice. So he did it as like a lot of the profits also go to stores as well. Okay, that's nice. So he did it as like a boost to the industry.
Starting point is 01:05:07 That's cool. That's good. Especially if you like The Walking Dead, which I do. So yeah, there we go. What do you read? Well, on a lot of people's recommendation, I watched Palm Springs, which I think you talked about on Suggestable. I did, yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:17 A couple of weeks back. What did you think? I really liked it. I'm not going to tell, here's the thing, I'm not going to say anything about it. Did you know anything going in? No, nothing. And I'm glad that that is the case. How quickly did you figure out what was the deal?
Starting point is 01:05:27 I'd rather not even say. Okay, fair enough. So if you haven't seen, if you like The Lonely Island, if you like Andy Samberg. I really like Pop Star, Never Stop, Never Stop. That's a really good one. Nobody saw it, but it's really good. Yeah, it's just a good movie.
Starting point is 01:05:40 It's very, very good. Don't look it up. If you've got Hulu, it's free on Hulu, I guess, so you can just watch it from there. Also, I watched The Beach Bum, which is- Oh, that Matthew McConaughey. Matthew McConaughey. What's that on here?
Starting point is 01:05:51 It's on Netflix, I think. It's a very strange movie. He plays a sort of like a, I don't know. A Matthew McConaughey type? I watched it. Besides Palm Springs, it was a downhill slide this week. I watched Palm Springs and I'm like, this is a good movie. Maybe let's talk about it maybe in a few weeks.
Starting point is 01:06:06 Okay, sure. Once we get enough emails that people say. It's been out about a month, but sure. Okay, right. No, let's talk about it next week. It doesn't bother me. Yeah, like after I watched that, everything was kind of a downward slide. So it's kind of like.
Starting point is 01:06:18 It was that and then Beach Bum. What was the third thing? Transformers again? Another thing. So the Beach Bum is kind of like. It's Matthew McConaughey and he's a poet, writer, and he's one of the loosest units around. Sure. And he has to, it's very odd.
Starting point is 01:06:35 But he's also like, he's got his wife's rich, his wife's played by... Jennifer Garner. No, Australian lady. No, no, no, not Rose Byrne, the other one. Not Rose Byrne, the other one. Not Rose Byrne, the other one. Yes. I have no idea.
Starting point is 01:06:46 Are you Cornish? If you put in not Rose Byrne, the other one into Google, I bet you'll come up. Not Rose Byrne, the other one. No, it's just Rose Byrne. Huh. Let me check. Do your research again.
Starting point is 01:06:58 Yeah, thank you. That's all I'm asking. They came out last year. I thought they came out years ago. Yeah, they came out in 2019, yeah. Oh, Isla Fisher. Isla Fisher, there we go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Martin Lawrence is in this. Jonah Hill's in this. Jonah Hill they came out years ago. Yeah, it came out in 2019, yeah. Oh, Isla Fisher. Isla Fisher, there we go. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:05 Martin Lawrence is in this. Jonah Hill's in this. Jonah Hill's in it, yep. It's a star-studded car. Snoop Dogg is in it. Does Zac Efron get peed on by Nicole Kidman in this or is that a different Zac Efron? No, but Zac Efron is in it.
Starting point is 01:07:16 Yes, I swear I'm not. And it's just a man pinwheeling through a variety of bizarre situations and going through rehab and all sorts of stuff. Yeah, it looks mixed, the reaction. Yeah, it was an interesting journey, but I don't know how much I got from it. Nothing, it seems. It seems nothing.
Starting point is 01:07:35 Also, we didn't put this in news, but I remember reading about it this week. There's going to be an American adaptation of the TV show Utopia, not the Australian show Utopia, not the Australian show Utopia, but the British series Utopia, which is from about 2012, 2013. And I read that and I thought I should watch the first season of Utopia. The British one? Yes, and I watched the first episode and I don't know if I'm on board with it.
Starting point is 01:07:58 It's pretty intense as a show. What is it? So the premise basically is that there is this small group of people they've never met in real life they exist on like a you know a forum or a subreddit or something like that okay and they're all fans of this comic this graphic novel from some years ago yeah and uh it turns out that the this particular graphic novel predicted some events that happened in the real world like that that the the author could not possibly have known about but then one of the people acquires this uh unpublished manuscript of a sequel yeah right and uh they they get a hold of it and they're like hey we should all you know we should all read this and blah blah and they they attract the attention of this weird group called the network that kind of
Starting point is 01:08:41 want to acquire this manuscript right at all costs and it was pitched to me as a comedy drama like when you look at it that's it like when you look at it on amazon it looks wacky yeah it's it's like a funny drama but it's really grim it's really grim and dark unpleasant like there's like quite like the one of the cap some minor spoilers for the first episode of the show yeah like one of the characters gets like his eyes tortured jesus and and because what happens is they're like okay we've got to is this evil network that wants to for the first episode of the show, like one of the characters gets like his eyes tortured. Jesus. Because what happens is they're like, okay, we've got to, there's this evil network that wants to acquire this manuscript for various nefarious means.
Starting point is 01:09:12 And so like in order to draw out these people, like they frame them for sex crimes and it's just, and I'm like, where's the comedy part of this comedy? It looks funny. Where's the funny? There's no funny. I don't think there is any funny. Maybe the second episode is funny, but I don't know if I'm going to get to it.
Starting point is 01:09:25 I think you just went in thinking Australia and Utopia. Well, it says it's a black comedy conspiracy thriller drama. That's what it says. Okay, right. Well, the comedy is pretty thin on the ground. Let me tell you. I might go in again, maybe on episode two, with a complete reframe of my expectations for this show.
Starting point is 01:09:42 But I don't know. I'm sure we have people out there who have watched the whole thing. Well, it's got very good write-ups from what I'm looking at here. Intriguing. From Sickos probably. Probably Sickos. That's what it says on Sickos.com. It got up. Oh, 54.
Starting point is 01:09:53 That's not very good. What about Rotten.com? It's 54 as well. Weird. Well, okay. Well, not even Rotten.com likes it. Well, that's pretty wild. What about Newgrounds?
Starting point is 01:10:02 Do Newgrounds like it? The Newgrounds still exist. I bet they do. What about Strong Bad? What does Strong Bads like it? The Newgrounds still exist. I bet they do. What about Strong Bad? What does Strong Bad think about it? I love Strong Bad. How does he type with boxing gloves on? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:10:10 It's a mystery. Do you know they had the opportunity to sell those characters to Disney or license them off and they didn't take it? Huh. The reason why was because they couldn't. They were swearing and stuff. I think those characters could have potentially been bigger, but I like that.
Starting point is 01:10:23 I mean, I think they did fine. I think they absolutely did fine. Yeah. Yeah. Great. Are you reading anything else? No, I've done my- Oh, my goodness.
Starting point is 01:10:30 Would you watch this Utopia show? Yeah, you've got me kind of intrigued. Do you want to watch an episode and tell me what you think? Yeah, I think so. We'll talk about it next week maybe. Knowing that it's not- Fun. Yeah, not fun at all.
Starting point is 01:10:40 It's definitely not fun. I don't think it's fun. Terrifico. It is Terrifico. Next segment of the show. Let's do some letters. I don't think it's fun. Terrifico. It is Terrifico. Next segment of the show. Let's do some letters. Classic one was letters, oh letters. We love you, some letters.
Starting point is 01:10:51 They're only a day away. We're going to be here right now. We're going to do letters. If you do want to reach the show, hashtag WeeklyPlanetPod on Twitter or WeeklyPlanetPod at gmail.com. So, Mason, do you want to start with some letters or would you like me to start with some letters? I'll start with letters from Jonathan Berkovich.
Starting point is 01:11:08 Hello, Jonathan. Just got my wisdom teeth out. Boo, I did that. Hi, Nick and James. Just got all four of my wisdom teeth, nothing smart about them, extracted. It hurts. Any chance for a shout-out? Well, wisdom is different than smarts is all I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:11:19 That's true, yeah. And it's different from bravery. A further different thing. He says, love the podcast and the work that you do. Congrats to James on the addition to the family. Thank you. And to Nick for whatever is most important to him at the moment. Wow.
Starting point is 01:11:31 It's me going back to bed after this. Congratulations. Thank you. I feel very proud about it. You should. Congratulations. So you've had your wisdom teeth. I have.
Starting point is 01:11:39 I got four pulled out when I was 19. Same time? Yeah. Two were impacted or whatever. It was bad, but it's like, you know. Okay, all right. Iced down your face. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:48 It's too late for him now, but I just sat with... I bought a PlayStation 2. Mm-hmm. This was last year. This was last year, and I sat with two bags of peas on my shoulders and sat there like hunched up playing Spider-Man 1 on the PlayStation 2 in like 2003 or 2004, whenever it happened. And that's how I got through it. And I was fine.
Starting point is 01:12:06 I mean, it was bad, but it was all right. Ice helps. I mean, it sounds bad. It helps with the swelling. Yeah. Have you had yours out? No, mine are all still in there. Oh.
Starting point is 01:12:13 Yeah. No wonder you're so dumb or smart. That's the second one, yes. Great. I'm tired. You're thinking of tired. I am thinking of tired. My wisdom teeth are leeching all the spark out and good vibes out of my brain.
Starting point is 01:12:24 Yes, exactly. Cool. What else have you got? Would you like me to what else I've got? good vibes out of my brain. Yes, exactly. Cool. What else have you got? Would you like me to what else I've got? Yeah, please go for it. Sure. This is from Bill Bob Baggins. What will probably be a big star on this week's episode,
Starting point is 01:12:34 Black Suit Superman. But he said, what I would like to be a big star on this week's episode, discovery of Luigi in Super Mario 64 after 24 years and one month. I don't know if you saw this, but there was code revealed from Mario 64 that 24 years and one month. I don't know if you saw this, but there was code revealed from Mario 64 that Luigi was going to be a playable character because that was a big point of contention when that game came out.
Starting point is 01:12:50 People were like, well, where is Luigi? Oh, where's Luigi? They found all this hidden stuff in there including, I think, some sound bites and things like that for that game. So there you go. Yeah, well. I think in later updates they did on like 3DS or DS or whatever, you could pick different characters maybe and there's been mods.
Starting point is 01:13:06 I don't know. But, yeah, I love it when stuff comes out about video games like decades after, like stuff hidden in the code or hidden levels. I saw this this week. It's a clipping from a Nintendo Power magazine and it's about the origins of Wario and Waluigi. Do you know what Waluigi's real name is? Waluigi Mario?
Starting point is 01:13:27 No. What? Jimmy Papadopoulos. So he's just taken on the name. Yeah, yeah. According to Nintendo Power, the canonical origin of Waluigi is that Wario always felt left out at Mario's parties because Mario had a brother that he could team up with.
Starting point is 01:13:49 It was a Mario party. Yeah. Are they cousins? Who? Wario. Look, I don't have the origin of Wario here. I'll look that up. Okay, if you could.
Starting point is 01:13:57 But anyway, Wario goes online to an actor for Hi-Site. He finds Jimmy Papadopoulos and then he gets Jimmy Papadopoulos to legally and permanently change his name to Waluigi. Terrific. Hired him for freelance for the tennis tournament. The rest is history or is it? Yes. It says, let's just say that their partnership had some rocky beginnings,
Starting point is 01:14:19 but rumours say that it blossomed into a great friendship and maybe even a romance. That seems like some shipping there. This is Nintendo Power magazine. Oh, really? Or a hastily Photoshopped page from Nintendo Power magazine. That's all I know. That sounds Photoshopped, especially if it's from an old episode.
Starting point is 01:14:34 Yeah, yeah. The other thing it says is that Wario is Mario's childhood best friend. Oh. There you go. And then they had a falling out of some sort, maybe. That seems that way. And, again, it was that jealousy thing like you were talking about because Mario and Luigi are twin brothers, but Luigi is slightly younger.
Starting point is 01:14:47 Did you know that? I didn't know that. No. Wow. It's a real twins the movie situation. Absolutely it is. There you go. We're all learning things.
Starting point is 01:14:55 This is from Lucas Callaghan. Hello, Lucas Callaghan. He's a zookeeper listener. Hi, guys. I recently graduated from college with a degree in animal behavior. Whoa. After four years of schoolwork and internships, I was finally rewarded with my first zoo job as a butterfly keeper.
Starting point is 01:15:06 Hey. Basically, I sit in my office all day and poke my head out every couple of hours to make sure all the butterflies haven't died. Needless to say, I have a lot of free time during work, and listening to the podcast makes at least 90 minutes of my day fly by. That's great. Is there an opening for the official butterfly keeper of the podcast? Sorry you missed out.
Starting point is 01:15:21 Yeah. Well, you know, next year. There'll be another. We might reapply. Yeah, yeah. See where we're at. Sorry you missed out. Yeah. Well, you know, next year. We might reapply. Yeah, yeah. I mean, just kidding. You can give me the visual but for now. For now. Obviously, you have to reapply next year. You have to reapply
Starting point is 01:15:33 next year and we might get another one. If there's another butterfly keeper out there, even if you're a butterfly hobbyist, even if you're one of those lunatics that pins all dead butterflies up on your wall. No, I don't want them. They're no good. Not them. Have you been to the butterfly house in the Melbourne Museum? I don't want them. They're no good. Not them. All right, not them? Okay.
Starting point is 01:15:46 Have you been to the Butterfly House in the Melbourne Museum? I don't know if it's the Museum, Melbourne Zoo? I have. It's cool. A lot of butterflies. A lot of butterflies. It's very humid in there. It's humid in there because they have to be.
Starting point is 01:15:53 Yeah. That's where you've got to pop your head in and check if they're dead. That's right. One day that's going to happen, though. Now you've said it, Lucas. Yeah. One day you're going to be like, you're going to lean your head out and they're all going to be dead and you're going to look down at the podcast
Starting point is 01:16:04 and maybe we're saying this. Maybe it's this week. We're saying it and you're like, oh, no, this is my fault somehow. You'll be saying. If he's listening to it now, he'll definitely check. I know I would if that was me. Yeah, maybe you've set the humidity to the wrong setting. Sounds like something you would do, Lucas, get it together.
Starting point is 01:16:22 Because it's obviously you to the job. You're a real greenhorn at this butterfly keeper bizzare. is again we need you to reapply next year yeah i mean you know and you're on thin ice as well you're on probationary period as the official butterfly keeper of the podcast so if you kill those butterflies yeah you're out in your ear what a cool gig unless you kill them in like a massive fireball or something great question yeah question for zookeepers out there yes do you i'd imagine you focus on a particular area right so he would he focus on a particular area, right? So would he focus on that particular area, like your butterflies and your insects and things like that? I believe, because I know a surprising number of zookeepers,
Starting point is 01:16:52 you get trained on specific areas of the zoo. They're like, okay, we need a guy for the insects. We need a guy for the lemurs or whatever. And they train you on the lemurs and how to feed the lemurs. At the Melbourne Zoo, you can go in and see the lemurs. You can go right up to them and they're sitting there. It's cool. Okay, so it's kind of like if you become a doctor
Starting point is 01:17:11 and then you pick your speciality. Is that the idea? But then can you move around within the zoo? You can, that's true. So if you're like, I want to eat monkey shit all day, you can go and do that. No. What do you mean?
Starting point is 01:17:21 Whose job is it then? I mean, I guess it could be your job. Thank you. How many years of school do I need? I mean, that sign has been up at the zoo for years, you know, the Help Wanted sign. So I guess you just got to dream and believe and achieve. I can't believe you didn't apply.
Starting point is 01:17:34 I haven't applied for it. I presumed it was taken. Yeah. Yeah. I've got a letter here. Okay, I'm ready. From NinjaDude3, hashtag weeklyplanetpod on Twitter. You've got to get in quick if you want to be NinjaDude1 or 2.
Starting point is 01:17:45 Totally do. You've got to apply. Yes. What's better? What's the better world's finest that never happened, as in a Batman Superman team-up? Is it Keaton and Cage or Hartnett and Bale? Ooh.
Starting point is 01:18:01 Have Hartnett and Bale been in a movie together? It feels like a combination that would have happened. Yeah, well, I know Hartnett was... Nolan wanted Hartnett for Batman. Yeah, right. And Hartnett turned it down. Okay. So it was probably also up for Superman at some point.
Starting point is 01:18:15 Now, are we talking... Because that's the thing. We've got one existing Batman and... No, we've got two existing Batmans. Correct. But fictional Superman. So presumably the power of the Superman will be maybe scaled in. Yeah, maybe.
Starting point is 01:18:30 I would like to see a Hartnett Bale Superman, Batman, if Superman is maybe he isn't like, you know, your cosmically powered God Superman. Like maybe he's the. Supergirl Superman. Yeah, no, no, no. But like he's the golden age Superman. Yeah. Like he's the leap tall buildings in. Yeah, no, no, no. But like he's the golden age Superman. Like he's the leap tall buildings in a single bound guy.
Starting point is 01:18:48 Like he's the stronger, the more powerful than a locomotive kind of thing, but he can't fly around the world in 30 seconds kind of guy. Okay, cool. Okay. I like that combo. I actually prefer the other one, the Keaton Cage. Yeah, right. Because they're both Burton.
Starting point is 01:19:00 They'd be both Burton. What power level would the Cage Superman be? Whatever the 90s was man because I think they were going to kill him and put him in a black suit anyway weren't they yeah I think they were
Starting point is 01:19:08 yeah yeah one of the versions I think at least yeah so that one and he's got the long hair Nolan Superman yeah well
Starting point is 01:19:15 Nolan Superman is sort of Man of Steel because he had a big hand in that yeah right right so yeah it would be something like that yeah I'm thinking more
Starting point is 01:19:23 way more way more ground level yeah yeah like that it's like it. Yeah, I'm thinking way more ground level. Yeah. Yeah, I like that. It's his early days of Superman and he's like an enhanced strongman kind of. Yeah. Yeah. You know, like, because back then it was like running as fast as a train is impressive.
Starting point is 01:19:37 But now it's like. Anybody can do that. Exactly. Yeah. Obviously, you can't. I mean, we can do it. We can do it, but not anybody. That's true.
Starting point is 01:19:43 Yeah. Some people have butterflies to maintain. Exactly. Check on them. Check on them. Pop your head in. That's right. What's next?
Starting point is 01:19:50 Or I've got one. Okay, go for it. This is from Sebastian Culligan. How about an episode on treasure hunting movies? National Treasure 1 and 2, Fool's Gold, Sahara, Indiana Jones, The Goonies, Three Kings, Good, Bad, and the Ugly, et cetera. What do you think about that? I like it.
Starting point is 01:20:05 Me too. I think it's good. Me too. Is there any kind of treasure hunting event happening in the real world that we could tie it to somehow? Yeah, yeah. For SEO? Yeah, sure.
Starting point is 01:20:15 Cool, nice. Absolutely we could. So no, I'm into that. Yeah, we could definitely. I mean, this is the year for just doing whatever episodes, isn't it? Yes. Next year will be the year when something comes out every day and we won't be able to do that.
Starting point is 01:20:26 Oh, my God, yes. So we've got to. It'll be every episode of this will just be, we'll have to review like three or four movies an episode. Yes, that's right. We're going to lose all sense of right and wrong. Space and time. That's right.
Starting point is 01:20:39 Yeah. This is from Seth Monroe. Hello, Seth Monroe. He says, new best podcast idea. Whoa. He says, hey, guys, I was thinking that since you seem to be making money torturing yourselves, you might as well go big. Ever think about doing a worst idea of all time podcast ripoff,
Starting point is 01:20:53 but instead of watching and talking about Grown Ups 2 every week for a year, you instead do the same but with James' favorite, LXG, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. I couldn't watch that. It would break me. I couldn't. Yeah. To be clear, no.
Starting point is 01:21:05 We will never do that. We will never, ever watch that. It would break me. I couldn't. Yeah. To be clear, no. We will never do that. We will never, ever do that. It's also a time thing. Do I want to dedicate my time to that? I like looking at a new thing every week. Yeah. Yeah. And the guys who do the worst idea of all time have a very special skill at going mad.
Starting point is 01:21:19 Yeah, that's right. They can do it with style and grace and humor every week. I think we would definitely snap. That's right. We've already ripped out this idea of doing movie news and whatever and pop culture. No, we invented this. No, we didn't, Mason.
Starting point is 01:21:30 We did. I remember I wrote down on a piece of paper review movies and comic books and TV shows and I put it in an envelope and I mailed it to myself. Right. Yeah. And have you got that envelope yet? Has it come to you yet? No.
Starting point is 01:21:43 I mean. Then where's your evidence, Mason? God damn it. I'm going to get Todd on this. Okay, where are the first? I'm going to get Todd on the run. Where are the first? Yes.
Starting point is 01:21:52 All right. Is that all the letters? I think that's all the letters this week. Great. Sorry. I planned on this being a bit longer, but you don't really know. We didn't really know. I don't even know.
Starting point is 01:22:00 Oh, no. We're about an hour 20. Okay. But what I'm saying is we didn't really know what was going to happen with Comic-Con. Oh, I see. Yeah. So in many ways it's Comic-Con's fault.
Starting point is 01:22:09 It's not a short episode. But it's Comic-Con's fault. Yes, it's Comic-Con's fault. God damn it, Comic-Con. You had one job. Provide content for us. God damn it, every day. But, you know, there's plenty of things.
Starting point is 01:22:19 And we can do more barbecue talk. I thought you didn't want to do that anymore. I'll do barbecue talk. All right, go for it. I'm going to be honest with you. I don't really like barbecues. Do you know why? You have a barbecue with a group of guys, a group of dads.
Starting point is 01:22:29 Normally if I'm at a barbecue also, it's not normally a barbecue like with people that I know and like. Obviously I'm the only one who can see this. James puts on a – whenever James starts talking about this, whenever James starts talking about any kind of social interaction, he gets this pained expression on his face. Sometimes he just pinches the bridge of his nose. Like you can feel the blood pressure building up.
Starting point is 01:22:46 And you know what? I'm trying to change as well because I don't know if you used to know me. I feel like I've become less negative over the years. Yeah, that's probably true. Would you say that's accurate? Yeah, I think that's probably true, yeah. So I'm trying to be like, I'm trying to rewire my brain. I feel like past you would have stormed out of many of these barbecue situations.
Starting point is 01:23:02 And podcasts. Like maybe pushed the barbecue over. Yes. The ultimate crime at a barbecue is to push another dad's barbecue over. Imagine. Imagine. You take his tongs away and then you push his barbecue over. But the thing about a bar-
Starting point is 01:23:14 And you leave with his talisman tongs. That's right. At a barbecue, especially if it's my own, if we're hosting, if you start a barbecue, there's someone who like hovers around and like just to see what you're doing. I'm like, here. You're just going to stand over me and talk about when to flip them and what kind of barbecue you've got.
Starting point is 01:23:32 Yeah, exactly. It's sausages. You just turn it. You can be the boss. I don't want to actually stand over here and do this. I want to go to the toilet and sit on my phone. Go to the phone and sit on my toilet, whatever. I've got a big dial-up phone.
Starting point is 01:23:47 Wow. That's where they all went. That's where all the phones on top of pizza delivery cars went. You bought them all. They're in my toilet. Yeah, well. So, yeah. No, I like a barbecue.
Starting point is 01:23:57 You like a barbecue? Yes. I like a barbecue if there's a pool. I don't have a pool, though. You got a pool? No. Get a pool. Okay, fine.
Starting point is 01:24:03 Then have a barbecue. All right, fine, God. Do you have a barbecue at your place no get a balcony at your place yes yeah so you could barbecue good interesting one of the things they don't have here which they have in london and the uk they've or maybe they do have them now they're like mini barbecues that you use once excuse me they've got like little briquettes in them and you take them to like the park and you say you cook up on them and then you just put them in a bin or the river, whatever. Are they made of like the old-fashioned non-biodegradable styrofoam? Probably, yeah.
Starting point is 01:24:29 Very good. Exactly. You light one up and just green smoke comes out of the top of it. It's like a nuclear reactor that goes off. So it just poisons the ground for 140 years afterwards. But yeah. Portable barbecue. That is madness.
Starting point is 01:24:42 I mean, you can do it here with like, we have one. It's like, it's actually like a suitcase. Oh. It's got like a. Like the president's suitcase. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah. It's like the Iron Man armor and it folds out to like a tiny little barbecue.
Starting point is 01:24:52 Oh my God. Yeah. Wow. So there you go. What if Iron Man was a dad? You know what I mean? He is. I mean, he is a dad, but now he's dead.
Starting point is 01:24:59 What if he was a dad and alive? Wow. Yeah. Yeah. He did do it, wouldn't he? That would be very, yeah. That's, that's his spade. He's like, happy, I need help. And happy throws in the briefcase and opens up to a grill and then happy
Starting point is 01:25:10 makes the brisket yes it happened no happy's then hovering over the top of you like you need a hand boss you need some help there you can do it yeah if you know if you notice like barbecues are interesting social dynamics as well because there is this thing oh it's probably other places in the world where it really is like it's expected that the women go inside and make the salads and the guys stand around the barbecue drinking beer. It's not always the case. But if you notice with a lot of bog standard barbecues. I don't notice because I'm usually in the kitchen.
Starting point is 01:25:36 Sure. That's exactly what's happening though a lot of the time. I'm slamming my head in the fridge door. Yeah, sure, yeah. Anyway, that's been Barbecue Talk. That's all my information on barbecues. With us, the grill team. That's who we are.
Starting point is 01:25:51 Nobody's used that IP in a while, so we're the grill team now. Was it Triple M? It was Triple M, yeah. Who was on the grill team? Probably some of the people who were in The Chaser or something. Lima and another one. Tony Mochler and the other guy. Oh, yeah.

Tony Mochler and the other guy? Oh, yeah. Guido Hatzis. Guido Hatzis. I saw that guy not that long ago. You saw Guido Hatzis. I saw the guy. You saw the fictional character Guido Hatzis. Tony Mochler. I saw Tony Mochler, the guy who played Guido Hatzis.
Starting point is 01:26:11 I saw him. I was going to name the suburb, but no, I'm not going to do that. Okay, right. Because he was with his kids. Why would I do that? But yeah, I nearly chased him down. Oh, yeah. I didn't.
Starting point is 01:26:20 Why would I? My brother had the CD, Guido Hatzis. Do not talk over me. It's very good. That's the show. That is the whole show. That's right. So we did it.

Starting point is 01:26:59 There was a Hulu Marvel trailer for something that I didn't. Oh, it was Hellstrom. Yeah, Hellstrom. Ah, look. It didn't look like anything. Okay Hellstrom. Yeah, Hellstrom. Ah, look. It didn't look like anything. Okay. And I'm sure it might be something. Whoa.
Starting point is 01:27:09 But like the last time I read anything Hellstrom, when it was like Damon Hellstorm, the son of Satan, it was a little more dramatic than what we got in that trailer. Oh, okay. Which was nothing. That's what we got in that trailer. I love nothing. We got nothing.

Starting point is 01:27:59 To help us, it's free, isn't it? Yeah, that's right. This is from Jidgahayubjidba. That wasn't me butchering a name from another country. That was a series of random letters together. I mean, as far as you know. Yes, that's true. It says, hi, Mason.
Starting point is 01:28:14 It's Mason. I would say I like this podcast. Sometimes I feel hate towards Mason, but good show overall. XOXO. Five stars? Yeah, five stars. Good, I'll take it. But I think it's because you have the same name.
Starting point is 01:28:26 Or is that me? Because that would make a lot of sense. That's me from the future. Makes a lot of sense. I do sometimes feel a lot of hate towards Mason. I thought that was a more positive one towards you, but now reading it, maybe it wasn't intended that way. Still five stars.
Starting point is 01:28:38 Still five stars, so I'll take it. This one's from SuperDuperReviewer, dude. Five stars. It says a fat five. Five stars. Mason is pretty cool, but still undecided on the other guy. So a bit of a dig at the old Jimmy boy. Well, let me tell you, he's not cool.
