Welcome back everybody to another episode of the Weekly Planet where we talk movies and comics and TV shows. My name is James, also known as Mr. Sunday. With me as always is my co-host, Nick Mason. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Good day in Melbourne.

Great day in Melbourne. Nice day in Melbourne. And we have to wear masks when we go outside. Mason. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Good day in Melbourne. Great day in Melbourne. Nice day in Melbourne. We have to wear masks when we go outside. Sure. We can't really interact with anybody. Well, I don't wear a mask. I refuse. What?

I think you shouldn't control what people think or say or do or are or never listen to anybody or do if you agree. But don't. What do you think? But you also have fairly severe brain damage, don't you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, well, that explains it. Okay, well, it all works out, doesn't it?

Yeah. Ah. No, it's a good day in Melbourne. It's a glorious day in Melbourne, yeah. It's shorts weather for you. Oh, mate, I'm busting them out. I came out yesterday, Claire, in like a summer shirt and shorts and thongs, and I'm like, look, Summer James is here,

and I'm like dancing across the kitchen. Claire's like, what's this? It's just a thing I do now. Why can't you maintain that enthusiasm for the podcast? It's only for my private life, Mason. I understand. All my happiness is reserved for my private life. Yeah.

How do you feel about shorts on a Zoom call? How do you feel about the pants situation? Oh, whatever. Anything goes, man. Yeah. I have to wear regular pants. In case you stand up. No, not at all.

I just don't feel, I feel. Are you a shorts guy? Because I'm a huge shorts guy. Yeah, I'm a shorts guy. Yeah. But like if I'm on a Zoom call, like, you know, not that I am because I don't have any kind of real business job. Sure.

But for like the last couple of podcasts I've been on where we Zoom. Yeah. I've had to put on like outside pants. A nice pair of slacks. A nice pair of... Exactly. A nice pair of... Sure, I can appreciate that.

A nice pair of gabardine slacks. Makes you feel better. Well, that's true because I feel... But exactly, maybe what if I do have to stand up, but I'm like, God, I. I see your boxer shorts with the hearts on them, Mason. That's right, exactly. Yeah.

Yeah. Just like just pajama pants or track pants or whatever. I'm like, no, this isn't, this isn't. No, you can't wear like a regular nice shirt and then track pants. Like that's. People do though. No, don't do it. That's weird. It's disingenuous.

It's disingenuous and I think I'd feel wrong doing it. My problem with shorts is like until recently I'm like, what do you wear with shorts in terms of shoes? It's just ankle socks. That's what you do. You don't wear any socks that go above your ankles. Some people do. Well, some people are crazy. I know there's a look. Tony Hawk?

Tony Hawk can fuck off. Yeah, that's right. Have you been playing Tony Hawk? Did you eventually get Tony Hawk? Tony Hawk can fuck off. Whoa. Yeah, that's right. Have you been playing Tony Hawk? Did you eventually get Tony Hawk? No, I haven't. No, I should get it, but I haven't. I think you can't do big races, as people were telling me. We threw a question out there.

Yeah, that's on the box. Can't do big races. That's the subtitle now. Tony Hawk 1 and 2. You can't do big races. Can't do big races, yeah. But anyway, we should get into the show. Before that, should we ceremoniously crack open our Coke Snow Sugar?

Oh, my goodness. It's like Attorney's General. It's Coke Snow Sugar. Because we're keeping trim for the summer, aren't we? That's exactly right, yeah. Oh, you are right. It did fizz. I told you, Mason, you son of a bitch.

It's not that good, is it? But that's not the point. That's not the point of a Coke Snow Sugar. They're not supposed to be good. We're being sponsored by Coke Snow Sugar. It's not that good, is it? But it's not supposed to be good this is we're being sponsored by coconut sugar it's not that good is it but it's not supposed to be good it's the double way it's the alley-oop of sponsorship taglines it's not very good but it's not supposed to be good what are you going to do about it here's something that is good though okay i'm ready uh right now on big sandwich.co

it's our new episode of our comic book club where we talk about the first volume of the Walking Dead comic. So we talk a lot about how that started, the creation behind it, the litigation, how it fed into the show, the net worth of everybody involved. And a little bit about the comic itself. Yeah, we do talk about the comic itself. But after we finished up, I was at home and I'm like, probably should have talked about the characters and stuff.

We talked about characters. We talked about the characters. We mostly talked about Rick Grimes as well. Mostly talked about Rick Grimes, yeah. Anyway, let's get into it. All right. Anyway, news of the week, we're talking about Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk. What else we got here? Another villain for Ant-Man 3 or the first villain.

Delays again, Uncharted set photos. I don't know if you've seen those. I have seen them. People are very upset. People are so upset. We'll get into it, yeah. Super Mario, a bunch of DC stuff happening, including Batman, Mandalorian Season 2.

And then as an extension of our episode last week, we're going to talk about movies. There was only one movies, but maybe make it two movies. Maybe make another movies. It's like Attorney's Generals or a Coke Zero. That's right. Make another's movies. Make another's movies, please.

Yeah. All right, here we go. If those Attorney's Gener generals could get onto it. Oh, if they could. We'd appreciate it. Why do you think they changed it from Coke Zero to Coke No Sugar? Because is that like, we don't want it to be a chick's drink. Oh.

Is that what they're doing here? Maybe it's because Zero connotes losers. Oh. Maybe it's like, this is a loser's drink, you know? Why don't they call it Coke Winner or Coke You're Number One? Yeah, right? Coke Cool. Coke Cool.

Because that would imply that if you drink regular Coke, you're not cool. That's so true. You see what I'm saying? Yeah, well, that is true. Did you know, James? I'm ready. That Coke destroyed Crystal Pepsi by implying it was a diet drink and then people wouldn't drink it.

Really? Because Crystal Pepsi, you know. Wasn't it just clear? It was just clear, right? But I learned this on a YouTube channel. I think I've mentioned it today, I found out. He's great. Yeah, you did.

You told me about him. And it's apparently because they like, they like broken a deal with all the supermarkets to put Tab, which is like a diet drink next to Crystal Pepsi. And so everybody was like, oh, a diet drink. And like back in the 80s, diet drinks were for ladies. Yeah, exactly, yeah. And I think that's where that whole diet Coke is like,

that's Coke for ladies, you know what I mean? Yeah. They should have called this Coke for men. My son's peeking through the window. He's gone again. He's gone again. Coke for men, exactly. Did I tell you I'm really-

Finally a Coke for men. Coke for men. Oh, there's time codes if you want to jump away from this conversation. If you want to jump through From this conversation If you want to jump through This conversation Quickly yeah Yeah I've Did I mention

I'm fully embracing Your son calling me a frog Yeah And every time I see him I talk about how good it is To be a frog He's not happy about it The tables have been turned

He doesn't know how to deal With that anymore Very good stuff So THQ reported That Ms Marvel Is getting a creative team and directors and such. I think it's just creative. Yeah, it is. With Bad Boys for Life, Adil

Al-Abi. So as you know, that is the most, may know, that is the most successful movie of the year as of so far. Yeah, right. Yeah, so there you go. So I started to watch it the other day and I went, yeah, I fucking hate these two characters.

I still haven't got around to it. It's on Prime maybe. It's on one of them. So I will get back to it. Is it because you've always hated them? I've always hated them, yes. Well, no, I've only seen two and I hate that movie. Yeah, two is bad.

So that's why. So I think that's a great choice. Do they still have the dynamic of Will Smith is super cool and Martin Lawrence is an absolute loser? Sort of, but I think it's like they're both old and whatever and it opens with like they're in a car chase and it's like, why are they in a car chase and they're rushing to the birth of one of their grandkids or whatever.

That is a trope I haven't seen in a really long time. I mean, that's like... It's like a trope from Bad Boys 2 maybe. Yeah, right? Oh, maybe it is. I mean, that's a trope from Ghostbusters 2, like where you think they're going off to save, they're like, oh, we're off to save the day,

and then they show up and they're just at a birthday party because their fortunes have dropped so drastically, yeah. What's so strange as well, because they show up to the hospital and the baby's like born, and it looks like it's well-born, like it's been back-born for maybe two to three days, like everybody's fine, The room is calm. You know what I mean? They're well laid.

Sometimes it's hard to get a fresh baby on short notice. Yeah, it really is. It's very difficult. It took us a long time to get our fresh baby, and it's barely fresh for very long. And then you were calling up all the TV and movie studios like, anybody need a fresh baby for cash to be in a scene? Oh, what do you mean COVID?

What do you mean there's nothing being made right now? This is the whole reason we made this baby. One good thing about having a fresh baby in COVID is nobody can visit you. Because for me, I know a lot of people are like, check out my fresh baby. But for me, that time is like leave me alone. Family and that's fine, close friends. But then it's like there's other people like, I should come in and it's like, I don't want to see you like normally

let alone when I haven't slept. You know? Yeah. Yeah. Also another name, Myrna Menon, who's an American Indian director, is also involved. There's some bloody names on this, mate. I think it's looking really good.

And people are, I think she's also been brought to the public consciousness again, even though a lot of people hate that Avengers game. People like the story elements and in particular that character. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, yeah. Perfect time to make this happen. Bad Boys for Life. I should watch it.

Apparently it's the best one. That's what I've heard. But I don't know. But if they can't grab you in the first couple of minutes. No. Look, I'll get rest of it. I'll never watch it. She-Hulk.

Yeah, big news. Tatiana Maslany has been cast. From Orphan Black. From Orphan Black. That's right. I never finished Orphan Black. I think there was one too many clones came in and I'm like, there's too many clones.

I can't. I'm lost. Well, I mean, that's what happened with the rest of the season. Oh, really? Just people going, oh, there's too many. Oh, which one are you? Yeah, exactly. It was a nightmare.

Let's just give up. And everybody just walked away. That's what happened. The series finished early. They're just midway through. All the good guys and bad guys were just like, oh, jeez, this is a lot of work, isn't it? Yeah.

All right, okay, see you later. And there's the blonde one and there's the normal one. And there's this guy with this weird tail. Is there? There was a guy with a weird vestigial tail in the first season. He like altered his own DNA so he had a tail. It sounds like the show Dark Angel in a lot of ways. In a lot of ways except in a lot of ways

it was a lot better. Yeah sure yeah well that's a beloved show and I know it is good. Yeah but for people who. Her performance in particular. Yeah so for people who don't know Orphan Black is a series about a woman who discovers that she has, well she encounters a woman who looks identical to her and then she discovers that they are both clones

and then there's a whole bunch more of them. And you genuinely forget that it's one actor playing all the different characters. It's so good, yeah. It's seamless. So I think this is a really good choice. And the way that they integrate them into the same scenes and all those kinds of things really is amazing.

I know a lot of people were shooting for Alison Brie as this. Didn't they look out for an Alison Brie type? I think maybe they did, yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, I would have been happy with Alison Brie, but this Didn't they look out for an Alison Brie type? I think maybe they did, yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, I would have been happy with Alison Brie, but this is also an excellent choice. So I presume that they're going to, like, they'll probably open with, like, she gets the blood transfusion

and then she's stuck in the She-Hulk form, presumably. I mean, that's more expensive, but they put money into these shows. For sure, yeah. Yeah, because, you know, she's not nine feet tall. She looks like maybe seven feet nearly, maybe. I can't remember. I don't know. I'm honest.

Again, it depends on the version and you can really, it'll depend on how inconvenient it'll be for her to get through doors. Sure, absolutely. They'll do stilts and ducking. No cap suits, stilts and ducking. They'll do a lot of forced perspective. Definitely. There'll be a lot of She-Hulk running towards the corner of a room.

Yeah, absolutely. A lot of rings. Definitely. What I think they are going to do with this, I think if they do the blood transfusion, she won't Hulk out because she'll get it from the Bruce Banner Hulk merged character. So she doesn't get the pure Hulk blood, which she does in the comics.

They can explain it away whatever way they want. But I don't know. Do you think we'll get a Mark Ruffalo cameo? He's in it, yeah. Oh, he's in it. Okay, good. Yeah, he congratulated her on whatever. So there you go.

It's all out there. He congratulated a lot of people this week. He congratulated Chris Evans this week. He did congratulate Chris Evans, yeah. Look, I don't really want to talk about the Chris uh but yeah that's an unfortunate thing that happened but you know he'll bounce back from that i'm sure yeah uh kat uh choreo um the director behind marry me she is also going to direct an executive producer series she's also worked on a number of shows including brooklyn 99 modern family and it's always sunny so i think that's a really good choice as well

marry me uh i don't know it's a movie from a previous time to now or maybe it's not out yet because who knows when anything's out yeah let me check i mean there's the uh the thomas rett song marry me i just found out when i googled it sure it's a 2021 romantic comedy with j-lo and owen wilson and jimmy fallon well let me be the first to say, wow. That's my powerful Jimmy Fallon impression. I thought you were going to zag. I thought you were going to boo. I said wow.

Wow, good for you. So, yeah, look, she's got comedic chops and I think it will be a – I know it's going to be like a procedural or they've talked about how it might be a procedural kind of courtroom show. Yeah, right. And I'm sure they'll be punching, don't worry. But the Ubi's like a slice of life kind of thing as well, like a bit quirky I'd imagine. I wonder if she's going to be self-aware in this as well.

I don't know if they can do that. I mean, you know. She'd be aware of like it's crazy being a superhero. Yeah, but I wonder. Yeah, because for people who don't know, she was Deadpool before Deadpool. She is aware that she is a comic book character or at least a fictional character.

And she had two swords and she was horribly scarred and she could time travel. All those things, yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly. And it's Ryan Reynolds. Tatiana's out, Reynolds is in. Yeah, so there you go. I'm looking forward to this.

Me too. I think it could be really, really good. Yeah. Or it could be really, really good. Yeah. Or it could be just fine. Or really bad. Or somewhat bad. I don't think it'll be bad. Oh, no, I'm just saying, you know.

Conceivably, anything can be anything, can't it? That's what I'm saying, yeah. Conceivably, it might only be released as like a limited edition LP. Yes. On 180 gram vinyl, you know? I mean, hello. Not even green. Yeah, do you want to bring it in here?

Come around and I'll fix it. I'm fixing Transformers all day and all night, hello. Not even green. Yeah, do you want to bring it in here? Come around and I'll fix it. I'm fixing transformers all day and all night, Mason. Sometimes he wakes me up at like 1 a.m. and is like, fix this transformer. Oh, he doesn't really. Hello. Mason and I are just recording an episode of our show, The Weekly Planet Podcast.

Are you familiar with it? We also have a spin-off called BigSandwich.co that you can sign up. It's only $9 a month. Thank you. Just give me the parts, everybody. And yeah, it's quite good value, wouldn't you say? No? Wow.

I think we should drop the price then, I guess. He's also our accountant, your son. Yes. There you go. Is that better? Yes. There you go. Do you want to show Mason that train on the way out?

Very cool. It's very good. It's a train transformer. Train former? No, he's a train transformer. Train former? No, you've got train warrior. Train warrior. It's a good name. I like it. I don't think it's an official transformer.

I reckon it is. No, it's not. Why don't you buy him a non-official transformer? I didn't buy it. Claire bought it because mums don't know. Mums don't know. That's true, yeah. All right, here we go.

It's time for our new segment, Mums Don't Know. God, Mum. Yeah, it's like that episode of The Simpsons where Bart asks for that video game and he gets the putting challenge or whatever. Oh, he gets Lee Carvello's putting challenge instead of Bone Storm or whatever it is. Yeah.

There you go. I think that's real now. You can get a Lee Carvello's putting challenge online. Is it like graphically like the Sabres? Yeah, yeah. It's terrific. Deadline also reported that Lovecraft Country's Jonathan Majors is going to be playing Kang the Conqueror in Ant-Man 3.

I don't know if you've seen Lovecraft Country yet, but he's really good in it. And Kang the Conqueror would be amazing. Yeah. And as an Ant-Man 3 villain, that kind of changes a lot of Ant-Man. I mean, traditionally speaking, Kang the Conqueror is a fantastic four villain. amazing yeah and as an ant-man 3 villain that kind of changes a lot of ant-man i mean you have traditionally speaking you kang the conqueror is a fantastic four villain you know he's taking on four of the most powerful most iconic cosmic genius you know do you want to close that my

son's yelling about trade transfers um yeah mom this is an authentic god well they used to have the little um hologram thing yeah they, they did. They're authentic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, this is one of those ones you get at like a supermarket. It's just on the shelf and I'm like, this is nothing. Anyway, that's what I said to him. Yeah, I mean he's a huge villain. Like he can take on – he's one of those villains where oftentimes

he'll be the center of like a huge company-wide crossover and it's every team versus King the Conqueror. So now it's him versus a guy who can get real small and sometimes real big. That's right. But he gets tired if he gets real big. That's true, yeah. Yeah.

So he's also possibly a descendant of Reed Richards. Yeah. That's the idea depending on. Or an ancestor of Reed Richards. Yeah, so yeah. And so often he's in the past like being a pharaoh or whatever. That's Immortus. That's a different guy.

Isn't that the same, technically the same guy though? It's technically the same guy, but they're from different universes. Okay, right. Fine. Fine. Or different timelines, yeah. And they're in different comic books, yes? Sometimes they're in the same comic books.

Oh my goodness, Mason. That's right. So I don't know if this is setting him up as like a bigger villain, but I hope this isn't a one and done for Kang the Conqueror. Yeah. So he's also, he could play into like using the Pym Particles to mess with time. So he's like, you've been messing with time

and I'm here to slap Michael Douglas. Even though he wasn't directly involved, but he was at that funeral. That's true. So there you go. He wasn't in the final battle, was he? I don't think so, no. He'd die.

He'd be killed by one of those big apes. Nor was Michelle Pfeiffer, right? No, I don't think so. I think they were at the funeral, weren't they? We did want more. Bloody Wong. Yes. Come on.

He's like, you wanted more? Yes. Were they at the funeral or were they just in the flashback? I can't remember. I don't think he's at the funeral. Yeah, he didn't like Tony Stark. That's true. Maybe he's there to gloat.

Yeah, but most of those people at the funeral did like him. He's there behind a tree with a full bladder, just ready for everybody else to leave. It's like, ooh, can't wait. Absolutely. Here we go. All right. So that's good, I think.

I think it's good, yeah. I mean, again, depending how they use it. I also like how they didn't go, we'll do a Shrinky villain. Oh, my God, you're absolutely right. I mean, in the last one they didn't do a Shrinky villain. They did a hologram walking through walls villain or whatever. They did, yes, that's true. And a Walton Goggins villain.

And a Wally Goggs. So I think that's great. What's his name's back as well? Peyton Reed. So, yeah, I like Peyton Reed. I don't love the Ant-Man movies, but, yeah, fine. Do you think maybe we will be getting a different power set for Kang the Conqueror?

Do you think he's going to be called Kang the Conqueror? Yes. Well, he's got, like, you know, much of the same genius as Reed Richards but more advanced technology and he can travel through time. Cool. So kind of that really. I think he's sometimes got a ray gun as well, doesn't he? Sometimes he's got a ray gun.

Exactly, that's right. Well, do you think they're maybe going to modify the power set so he's more of a match for – I mean, he might just be a regular-ish guy, but he's got time travel abilities or something. I hope he's not just like a CEO or something. At the end he's like, call me Kang the Conqueror. He might be a guy who's like being lost in the quantum realm. Yeah.

Well, that's the thing because like time travel is always a tricky. But I think if they've gone to the future, you kind of got to go in that direction. You can't just go, it's Kang the Conqueror, but he's a rival CEO. I mean, you could do that and then it turns out he's from the future or whatever. But I think maybe rather than saying, okay,

he has incredible time travel powers, he's just, you know, maybe he's a man from the previous Ant-Man's era who's been, was trapped in the quantum realm. Yeah, sure. And he has been travelling through time, but he's a man from the previous Ant-Man's era who was trapped in the quantum realm and he has been travelling through time but he's not like the master of time because that's sort of that's a massive power imbalance but who knows, they can probably do it

This is going to be one of those clips that in years people are like oh my god, Mesa got it right oh my god, what an idiot we look forward to covering it in another episode. Variety are reporting, and apparently a number of websites have started to remove the release date for Black Widow. Yes.

So because... So push back. Push back because of the worldwide crises. Go on. Crises on One Earth. Yes. That we're currently experiencing. Also, Pixar's Soul might go to Disney.

Are you suggesting that this is the only reality in which we are having this crisis? Yep. So there are, there are parallel universes. Yeah. In which not only do they not have COVID, but they're also,

they also have the technology to look into other dimensions and they're all just like, nah, we could, we could give this to be fair. There's probably like if video games have taught me anything there's a bunch of like we lost world war ii ones and maybe there's bad but maybe there's also an alien invasion so there's that and they're obviously much worse but i mean there might also be ones where uh the allies won world

war ii twice like they just double won it and everything's great. You know, so good. More nuclear bombs? Yep. Terrific. So yeah, so what do you think about that? Black Widow being delayed. Maybe it'll eventually, maybe they'll all be pushed back to their original dates but in like the next year. Yeah, maybe. Maybe they'll go to Feb and then Maybe we can introduce some sort of lore where

we just pretend this year didn't happen. Well, as I've said to Claire and on my less successful podcast, Suggestible, I don't think ageing should count this year. I think everybody should except for kids. I guess, sure. Because then they're out of the house, mate. Yeah, yeah. Then you've got a fresh baby.

You've got a fresh baby for a year. Imagine what you could do with it. Nothing. They don't do anything. Yeah, but you can audition it for things. Oh, that's actually a really good point. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If someone in a sitcom has a baby, you can like, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let them't do anything. Yeah, but you can audition it for things. Oh, that's actually a really good point. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If someone in a sitcom has a baby, you can like, you know what I mean?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let them use the baby. Yeah, I think everybody should get a birthday token. Yeah. So they can celebrate whatever birthday this was again. Yeah. You know? So you can have two birthdays next year if you want.

I could turn 26 again, Mason. Or a double birthday. A double birthday. Like you'd won World War II twice, you know? More nuclear bombs is what you're saying. Yeah, more nuclear bomb gender reveals is what I'm saying. Oh, my God. So what have we got here?

So if it's delayed, I think it might have to do with, I don't know if you've seen this, but Tenet are kind of there. Warner Brothers are hiding the numbers, some of the box office numbers. So we've got a rough idea of how it's doing. Why Warner Brothers? Because it probably is. We know that it didn't do well because we don't know anyone who's seen it. That's right, especially not where we're from.

But even like in the world, like I've kind of felt like, oh, we're the only one in the world who like officially definitely cannot see it in Victoria because of our lockdown. But in the world, people aren't going to the movies. And even if they are, there's only quarter capacity or whatever they're up to at the moment. That's true, yeah. So they're not really showing what the numbers are.

And only a quarter capacity of popcorn. Oh, no. That's all you're allowed to order, yeah. That's all I really want anyway. I don't really need all that popcorn. I go up to the counter and I'm like, one quarter popcorn. What do they say? That'll be $44.

$44, exactly. And I'm like, oh, still too much actually. Too much. Yeah. But normally studios are very open about their financing and how much they make because it means that this is something that I recently learned. I think Dan Merle said it.

He used to be at Screen Junkies and now he's got his own channel. But he covers box office numbers. I had an auntie Merle. Really? Or a great aunt. Her last name was Dan Merle? Yeah. Okay.

Yeah, maybe it's the same guy. It might be the same guy. Yeah. Did she often talk box office numbers? Constantly. My God. Terrific. But so normally they can kind of go off, you know,

previous months and kind of track when to release things and put strategies and whatever. Apparently. I don't know any of that stuff. I could call my auntie Merle. So she's alive? I don't know. I don't know any of that stuff. I could call my auntie Merle. So she's alive. I don't know. I don't know.

And also I don't think maybe great aunt or one of those things. Okay, cool. Great aunt, I don't know. If you want to call her, that's totally up to you. I don't have a number. And I don't want to. One of those family members? Yeah.

I've got a bunch of those that I don't call. Yeah. But I guess the fact that they're not sharing their numbers is indication that they're not super happy with how it's gone. Or they're so happy they don't want anybody to know because otherwise people will just make frame by frame copies of the movie to net and just make bank off that. They don't want people to know.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely. They're like, we finally cracked it. We just make a movie about time travel and the environment or whatever and then we just make so much money. Yeah, that might be it. We just make a movie about time travel and the environment or whatever and then we just make so much money. Yeah, that might be it. We never actually have to make another movie because we made so much money. But we're going to because we're greedy. The secret to movie making has been revealed. That's right. Incredible. Yahoo Finance, you familiar with them?

I'm familiar with Yahoo Sirius. Yeah, sure. What's he up to? I had an uncle Yahoo Sirius. Was he married to your auntie Dan Merle? Maybe, maybe. You should give them a call. I lost the thread of this bit as soon as we started, if I'm honest with you. I don't know where it's going. So Yahoo Finance, who you might recognise from nothing,

said that it made, Tenet made $260 million, has made $200 million. In a way, Yahoo Finance is the real Yahoo Serious. Yeah. Because of how serious they take this sort of stuff. So I should say Tenet has made $207 million worldwide. They should call Yahoo Serious Yahoo Reckless because of Reckless Kelly. He was in the movie.

For this bit you don't understand, you're so committed to it. You just keep pushing forward and eventually a joke happens. But if it doesn't, somebody who isn't me edits it out. Oh, very good. Yeah. Thank you, colleagues. So Tenet has made $207 million worldwide, right? That doesn't sound like a lot.

Maybe. No. But it's not surprising. Yeah. And they're also saying that Mulan has made $260 million on Disney+. So they're saying that, well, that means that that's a more successful model. But I would also say that to net going to streaming or if it went now for $30, it would probably make something around that.

Yeah, I would buy it. Yeah, same. So I think it's unfair to go, well, Disney, you know, they've made the right call here. Maybe they have. I don't know. Yeah. But when they haven't factored in, you know,

the fact that it didn't get a proper cinematic release. It did some places but it didn't do very well in like China and other markets and wherever it came out. Anyway, that's all I wanted to say about wherever that went. A real rollercoaster there, yeah. Uncharted. Oh, yes. It's fired up.

It's filming right now. And people are not happy. Why do you think they're not happy? They're not happy, James, because some set photos were released in which we saw Mark Wahlberg specifically as the character Sully from the well-regarded series Uncharted. People were barely on board with the Tom Holland thing, but he's playing a young Nathan Drake, which you've seen in video games.

And this guy is presumably playing a youngish Sully, right? Yes. A younger. Yes. And this guy is presumably playing a youngish Sully, right? A younger. Yes. And he is absent his signature moustache. Ridiculous. People are not on board with it. No.

So what are they doing? That is such a pivotal thing. If I'd have known this was going to happen, we would have Mackenzie moustached this like we did in the old days. Yeah, that's right. If people don't remember. Wahlberg wustache. Yes, that's right. People don't remember. Wahlberg mustache. Hashtag the Wahlberg mustache. It's too late to change it obviously.

Or maybe at the end he goes, I think I'm going to grow my mustache out. Yeah, whatever. I was trying to think of a mark. If it's out of your mother or whatever, you know what I mean. But what are they doing? So anyway, so with the Gotham thing, we got people to tweet at Benjamin Mackenzie that he should, is he going to have a mustache for Gotham, which he didn't end up having until the end maybe.

If I'd have known this was going to happen. Put it on right at the end, he opened a case. Yes, that's right. Mahogany case and he put a mustache. He's got his badge and his mustache in it. That's right. So I think that this is something I would have definitely pushed for, but now it's started.

It's too late. Unless they CGI it on. That would be way easier than CGI. Definitely. Well, maybe that's what they're doing. Maybe Unless they CGI it on. That would be way easier than CGI. Definitely. Well, maybe that's what they're doing. Maybe they test run it somehow. That would be insane. And then they CGI it on and see which plays better.

I guess there's been dumber things spent money on. Yes. Like making Solo twice. That's right, yeah. That's a good example. But I don't know what. I mean, it feels like a Wahlberg choice. Yeah.

But I don't know that. Can he grow a proper mustache? I don't know what I mean it feels like a Wahlberg choice yeah but I don't I don't know that can he grow a proper mustache I don't know if he can can you google Wahlberg facial hair and see if he can do it I think he's got that

little wispy beard he's got a can he he seems like a guy who could grow like a soul patch yeah yeah no it's the very thin mustache

okay right but give him a fake mustache give him a fake mustache right fake mustache technology is out of this world these days. I enjoy how we don't know anything about the plot of this or how it's going to, you know, is it going to follow the –

is it Uncharted 4 that has like some prequel stuff? They've all – oh, 3 has got some prequel stuff. Yeah, right. Okay, look at the Mark Wahlberg facial. He couldn't grow a mustache. I think that's what this is. Right, okay. It's not a very good mustache, is it?

But see, that's the thing. I mean, you trim it, you thicken it up with some ointments. Some hair tonics. Yeah. Maybe you could – but here's the thing. Maybe it's got like a lot of like ginger hair or blonde hair in it. You dye it and then you fill it in. I don't like this.

James, I also don't like it. I'm just trying to salvage a bad situation. Let me salvage it. But what I'm saying is nobody at all is like, well, what's the plot of this? What scene is this? How is this going to reflect? What is the rest of the movie going to be like?

People are just like, no mustache, no thank you. Agreed. Is that what you're saying? Yeah. Anyway, it might be all right. Who knows? They've got to do one. One day they're going to do a good one.

They've got to. In other video game news, Nintendo's corporate management policy briefing has been revealed. I don't know if you saw this. Wowzers. Yeah, I know. You meant to say bowsers. Thank you.

The Mario movie has been confirmed for 2022. It's from Illumination Studios. Chris Maladandri, the founder of Illumination, is going to be – they do like Minions and other stuff. Oh, so this is going to be animated. Yeah, yeah. And Miyamoto is going to be involved directly because the last time they made a Mario movie,

I don't know if you saw it, which you did. Yes. What was that? Why did they do that? It's a real something. A real swing, wasn't it? It was a massive swing, yeah. It's Blade Runner but Mario sort of? So this is's a real something. A real swing, wasn't it? It was a massive swing, yeah. It's Blade Runner but Mario sort of.

Yeah. So this is probably a good idea. I think this could be good. I mean I think they probably looked at Sonic and went, yeah, we can. We can beat that. Well, they've famously like been very hesitant since that movie to make. Anything really. Anything.

Any movie franchises. Which is wild because there's so many. Except Pikachu was the first one and that was like 20 years after. 20 years. I mean, you know, it's wild. There's never been a Metroid movie. Yeah, Zelda. There was that Tom Holland Zelda rumor this week.

Which is probably bullshit. I didn't hear that. Yeah. He couldn't play Zelda. He couldn't fit that hat on his little head. That's right. A green hat. Zelda's a boy is what I'm saying, Mason.

You are saying that, don't I know. That's the joke that we do on the show. Yep, right. A green hat. Zelda's a boy is what I'm saying, Mason. You are saying that, I know. That's the joke that we do on the show. Yep, yep, yep. Yeah. Anyway, good, I guess. Here's good news, though. Harley Quinn has been renewed for season three. That is exciting.

Directly to HBO Max, I think. I believe so. Because something DC Universe is gone. Well, that's what I can also talk about. Just quickly before that, Variety is saying Batman is back, back in production. Everyone's there. Everyone's there. There's the two-week quarantine period happened.

Oh, so that means Robert Battenbat is in full fighting form again, presumably. So now people can feel free to message him with various names. Whatever we said. Whatever the thing is we do. Because he didn't die. I think I was going to say, I think we said at the time, if he doesn't die, please

we can feel free to just Is he even on social media? Feels like the kind of guy that isn't. I don to say, I think we said at the time, if he doesn't die, please, we can feel free to just tell. Is he even on social media? He feels like the kind of guy that isn't. I feel we should send him a Robat Battenbat shirt. Do you think he'd wear it? Maybe. Do you think I'd wear it? No.

I would. Oh, yeah, you would. It's true. I reckon we should send him one. But he's back. But also, you mentioned the DC thing because DC has announced that the DC Universe, their streaming service, is being changed into the DC Universe Infinite,

a premium digital comic book service with access to more than 24,000 comic books at launch. That's significantly less than an infinite number of comic books, though, isn't it? They should have called it 24,000 DC Universe. And every time we add a new one, we take an old one away. So get reading, idiots. And it's one at random.

Just the middle of the run. Green Lantern 62. It's going. Because that's easier than changing the logo, isn't it? That's right. Digital First Comics. And they can access DC fan events, a steady stream of recently released comics, six months after their physical versions hit the store shelves.

And this is all going to launch on January 21st of next year. This is good. I mean, cause they, I thought they were going to shut it down or turn it into something else, but they, I didn't think they'd turn it into this, but I think it's a, is it even available here? I don't think so at this point, but this is something I would get if, uh, you know, that's good. I think, you know, for comics, there's not really a, oh no comics. I was going to say, there's not really a comics thing like this. There is, that's good, I think. You know, for comics. There's not really a, oh, no, comics,

I was going to say there's not really a comics thing like this. There is. There's several. There's Marvel Unlimited, certainly. Comixology does it. There's a few other ones. Which I maintain should have been called Marvel however many comics we currently have on this service.

And no more. So they can change the number of comics? Yes. Because they've left it open. Oh, then it says asterisk and then it says 25,000. Very good. Did you see any of the PS5 stuff? Did you pre-order your PlayStation 5?

No. Why not, Mason? I didn't want to. But I didn't either. So what do we do? What we could do, presumably, is wait until they come out in the shops and go to the shops. And then get one at the shops?

And then buy one with the money we have. I think that's what people also don't factor in, that they have them opening day. Like they reserve a bunch of them that you can walk in. You probably have to line up. Or you can go the second day. Yeah. Or I could wait until there's a good game on the lineup

and then I could buy one on that day. Well, I would like to talk about that. Then again, they do sell out because we talked privately, just privately and quietly. Yeah, that's right. So everyone, you're privy to this, you're hearing this first, but Mason, you're considering getting a Nintendo Switch. I'd like to get a Switch because a lot of people are like Zelda Breath of the Wild, which I know is a game

that's been out for a very long time. Yeah, I've got it and barely played it. People are like, that's the best game ever made. Do you know the swords break though? They don't last? I'm well aware. Just so you know, Mason. I'm like, well, I should get that and it seems like a great system, but it's hard to get. They sell out all the time. You want the grey one, don't you?

I want a grey one, exactly. You want people to think you're a businessman. Maybe you're charting graphs. Yeah, I want to withdraw my briefcase on the train and just like unzip it and bring out my grain Nintendo and switch and then people will just be like, ooh.

Skype too. And when you look, you switch to a graph app maybe. That's right. Or I'm using Link to like build a graph in real time. I don't know if that's capable. He's capable of doing that in the game. I think you could do that in Minecraft probably. Maybe that's what I could do then. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you could also just play a proper game instead of building graphs. in the game. I think you could do that in Minecraft probably. Maybe that's what I could do then. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you could also just play a proper game.

A real game. Instead of building graphs. Yeah, that's true. I could. I could not be ashamed of myself, you know? Do you care? I play what I used to catch the public transport when we could. I play them on the train.

Yeah, for sure. If someone calls me a nerd, you know what I do? What's that? I move seats. Nice. Or just get off the train. Just get off, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Prize open the door. If it's moving, just leap out. So true.? I move seats. Nice. Or just get off the train. Just get off, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Prize open the door. If it's moving, just leap out. So true. Can't really do that anymore. They've taken the handles off. I'd kick a window out. Anyway, listen, Mason. PlayStation 5.

My point is that I'm always very slow on the uptake of any of these systems, so I'm going to get a Switch now. I think that's good, though. Though there might be a HD one coming. There's, like, rumors of. Anyway. But there's also the ones that the Joy-Cons are locked. I don't like that one.

So it's all docked. Well, not docked all the time. Anyway, the bit of information that I took from this is a number of titles are coming to the PlayStation 4 also, including Spider-Man Miles Morales. Yeah, I saw some gameplay footage of that. Awesome. For me, that means I can play that game without buying a PlayStation 5, which I wasn't going to anyway.

So cool. I can play that game without buying a PlayStation 5, which I wasn't going to anyway. The ad for that actually says, it says available PS4 whatever, and then it says also plays great on PS5 and whatever. Yes. So they're sort of marketing to, I think this is the one I'm thinking about. Probably right. It might be cyberpunk. Anyway, it's not the point.

But there seems to be like a marketing around these games. It's like you can buy them now on the current thing, but they'll also play great on your new thing. I think also you can upgrade them for free as well, or maybe the disc plays. I think they're backwards compatible for PS4, like the Sys games, I mean. But, yeah, I mean, I know some people are upset that it's like if it's a new console, this is a new generation.

But it's not uncommon for them to support old systems. I've got a PlayStation 3 there. I think the network still works for that and you can play online if there's anything going on there or whatever. Yeah, right. So anyway, there you go. I'm excited for Miles Morales because that was a game I wasn't going

to play for like four years. One of the villains around this time seems to be the Tinkerer, but it's Lady Tinkerer who might be a lady in the comic books now, I don't know. Who doesn't? Because there's a number of Tinkerers maybe? There's probably a bunch, yeah, yeah. Yeah, cool. Yes.

Last bit of news. Yes. The Mandalorian Season 2 trailer. Did you find it Mandaborian or Mandaglorian? Where you at, Mason? Did you watch it? Yes, I did. Probably a more accurate question to start with.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, it's a very similar vibe, isn't it? Doesn't show a lot, which I think is good. Because I think we're going to get cameos a go-go. Yeah. And you probably don't want to reveal too many cameos a go-go. You don't want to reveal that Kyle Katarn is under that helmet the whole time or whatever.

Love to bring back Kyle Katarn. And get the actor who FMV'd him in Jedi Knight 2 or whatever it was. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you wouldn't, obviously. No, I mean, but, you know, again, it looks high quality, Star Wars Western. Yep.

You know, it feels like a throwback to the original trilogy. Yes. I'm liking it. In a lesser week, Mason, this would have been the biggest bit of news. Biggest news. But actually this week. Oh, you've got news. I have the biggest piece of news.

Oh, my goodness. I was going to save this for our other podcast, We Got This Cupboard Covered. You are going to save this for our other podcast. We got this covered. You were going to save it for that? No, I'm not going to. Collings, edit this out. This is too good for that podcast, which is bad. Just kidding.

But this one gives the game away straight away. Speaking of Tenet earlier, this is from Business Insider. That's business, Matt. Speaking of businessmen, let's all tie us together this episode. This is great stuff. This is business. Speaking of businessmen, let's all tie us together this episode. This is great stuff. This is great stuff. Anyway, it says Christopher Nolan caught John David Washington with a backpack full of Pringles while he was supposed

to be dieting for Tenet. Business Insider. What do you mean? Okay. Okay. So according to this, this is on Corden apparently, So according to, this is on Corden apparently, but while he was doing Tenet, he was on strict dietary restrictions,

but he was going crazy. He needed his snacks. Yeah. And they were in Estonia apparently for some of the filming of this, and he found paprika-flavoured Pringles, and he can't get them anywhere else in the world. So I had to do it, and I stacked them up in my backpack, and I get on the elevator where I was staying staying and lo and behold, there's Christopher Nolan.

He saw me. He caught me with all these Pringles in my bag. It was very embarrassing and he started laughing at me and gave me a hard time the entire shoot. Christopher Nolan did, however, allow Washington to keep his Pringles. Oh, yeah. I told him, Paprika, where are you ever going to see flavoured Pringles like this? And he agreed. Business Insider website.

That's not a clickbait, though. That is exactly as is. Exactly. That's a beautiful piece of reporting. They got right to the point. Yeah. It was great. We learned everything we needed to know.

Would you be embarrassed to read that on your Nintendo Switch on the train? Someone's looking over your shoulders. No, because it says Business Insider in the header. They'd be like, he's probably reading about the latest in graphs. The latest graph formatting, you know? Is it graph or graph? I think here we'd say graph. I think in Adelaide we'd say graph.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Another reason not to visit. But this seems like a big ad for Pringles, right? It certainly does. John David Washington is never going to pay for Pringles again for as long as he lives. Certainly not. Not for Preaker at the least.

Where are you at on Pringles? I like Pringles. They're all right he lives. Certainly not. Not Paprika at the least. Where are you at on Pringles? I like Pringles. They're all right. I think they're all right. I think also there's too much air in the top. That can could be like two-thirds the size. Wow. You've heard the Bo Burnham song as well about the Pringles can?

Oh, yes. It's a good song. Is that everything, Mason? Then let's do the topic of the show. That is everything. Diana Rigg passed away also. Oh, yeah. Boo.

It's a real shame. 82, is that correct? Yeah. People will know her obviously as Emma Peel from the OG The Avengers, the British Avengers, along with John Steed. Correct. She was in one of the James Bond movies that people hate. Her Majesty's Secret Service, yes.

But people like her. Oh, yeah, for sure. I think a lot of people like that movie in general now, don't they? They've kind of come around that it's a good Bond story. It's just odd. It's the Ruffles that get people. It's the Ruffles that get us all. Ruffles or Pringles, where are you at?

Pringles, I think. Yeah, me too. Anyway, go on. She was also Elena Tyrell in Game of Thrones. Yes. She's done a lot of bit work that you'd be like, oh, yeah, of course. And she was also Mackenzie Crook's mother-in-law in Detectorist, which is that show I keep mentioning.

Which I should watch. Which is about a couple of metal detector friends. Is she in any of the seasons of Doctor Who? I think she is. Maybe what's his name, the scarf dude? No, she's in an episode of Doctor Who with her actual daughter, Rachel Sterling. Really?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. There you go. Let me check. Like six or seven years ago? Yeah, the Crimson Horror, yeah. There you go. Let me check. Like six or seven years ago? Yeah, the Crimson Horror from 2013. There you go. That is not surprising that she is in a Doctor Who. I thought she'd be in like a 70s one or something.

Yeah, right. There you go. Anyway, rest in peace Diana Rigg. Pretty bloody incredible career as well. I mean, if you look at those properties that she's been in, there's some big names there, mate. There's some big name brands. That's true.

She was the face of Pringles. That's true. Like the man with the moustache. That's her. That's Diana Rigg. big names there, mate. There's some big name brands. That's true. She was the face of Pringles. That's true. Like the man with the moustache. That's her. That's Anna Rigg. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't think that's true, Mason. Well, that's John Steed.

You turn the can, nobody ever turns the can around. It's John Steed on the one side and Emma Peel on the other side. Is this guy John Steed on the can? No. Who is John Steed? Patrick McNee was the other half of the Avengers. Oh, okay, okay. As John Steed. He's the one with the bow? No. Who is John Steed? Patrick McNee was the other half of the Avengers. Oh, okay, okay. As John Steed.

He's the one with the bowler hat. I only know Emma Peel from the Avengers. He's the Ralph Fiennes. Yes, yes, exactly. That's a good joke. Yeah. FX's The Veil explores the surprising and fraught relationship between two women who play a deadly game of truth and lies

sunrisechallenge.ca. Anyway, so last week, Mason, we talked about franchises that there were too many movies that they made. That's right. Colleen's even put together a video, but we talked about things like why are there so many Matrixes? Why are there so many Pirates of the Caribbean movies? Get out of it, we said. Get out of it, we said. But this week, as an extension of that, we're going to talk about movies where there was only one movies. But what if they made two movies? Cool. Or more than two movies.

That's right. A lot of the times with these movies, when there's only one movies, it's like, leave it alone. You probably don't need to. Well, that's the thing about a lot of these standalones is a lot of the, to me, a lot of the magic about these movies is that you go, oh, this movie was so compelling or the characters are so interesting that I would love to see another one.

Or it didn't drive home. A lot of these movies are like, this story has definitively ended. Yes. And the fact that it doesn't tease another sequel or a spin-off or whatever. Or sometimes they do. Yeah, but I feel like, well okay, I probably would see another one but then it's often I often feel like if they tried to drag this out

it would definitely be diminishing returns. So we'll bloody get into it, won't we? I think we should. Here's a good one to start with and I think this is something that was promised and we're yet to have seen. Oh. District 9. Oh, District 10 maybe. They've talked about the sequel. They even mentioned how many years he was going to be away for. So I think if you did go back to it at this point,

you'd be like, well, he got lost in space and he finally came back. I think they are going to do District 10. Do you think they'd call it District 10, he was lost in space and now he's back? Correct. And he's brought back. Who's in that movie? Matthew fucking from Friends. Matt LeBlanc. Lost in that movie matthew fucking from friends that's just

matt leblanc lost in space oh i see i get it right that's a good joke mason i mean i didn't nail it and it's not a good joke he's got the iron man helmet suit remember no you know but you'd like to see that right yes yeah but again but here's the thing though, what more do we need to see? That's the thing, because I feel like it's a self-contained story more or less. What do you think would be new and fresh about that? Well, I think you could come back to that. I think the idea that it's not, these ideas are still prevalent.

It's a metaphor for racism and displacing immigrants and all these horrible atrocities that get committed. I don't think you need to go, now what's really about this? It's like, no, you could still follow that line of thinking, you know? And you could slowly turn Chateau Copley back into Chateau Copley.

Remember how he slowly turned into a horrible alien? Yeah. And he needs a mech suit, obviously. Well, see, that's also from an action movie perspective, I wonder what else you could add to the movie that is because, you know, we saw all the cool guns, we saw the mech suits. You don't think 10, 12 years on they've got more cool guns? No.

You don't think they've done some more R&D? No, because they were weird shrimp men. No, I'm talking about on Earth. Oh. Like the mech suit, a lot of the cool I'm talking about on Earth. Oh, yeah, definitely. A lot of the cool technology in that comes from Earth. Oh. You know?

Like there are your spaceships and whatever, but the ship that arrived on Earth was this like, they thought it was going to be like this glorious opening, like 2001-esque like revelation or close encounters, but it was like a ship full of starving aliens, you know, and people were like, oh, boo, actually. And we thought they were going to bring cool technology. Well, we should talk about a sequel to Love Actually called, oh, boo, actually.

There is a sequel to Love Actually. It's a tally, Easter something, benefit charity. I was going to say it should just be a Gogglebox style video of somebody from now watching Love Actually and just being like, oh, boo, actually. Oh, no. Oh, no, just leave her alone, I reckon. Oh, she's underage.

Yeah, what? Yeah, no good. Anyway, what were we saying? We were talking about District 9. They should make another one. Yes. Is my point. What's your point?

Do you think, were they in District 9, were they like a servant race? Is that the point of those creatures? I cannot remember. You might be right. It seems like maybe. They were in the movie Alien Nation, the James Caan movie. Oh, right. No, I haven't seen that.

And then television series. And then television series, yeah. The ship that crashes on Earth, we discovered they were like genetically engineered to be like a worker race. Oh, I wonder. Maybe there is hints of that in the movie. I'd have to watch it again to be like a worker race. Oh, I wonder. Maybe there is hints of that in the movie. I'd have to watch it again. But what a great movie.

And also it starts one way and then it turns into like an action movie. What's Sharlto Copley doing recently? He did the new old boy movie. He was in the A-Team movie. He was in the A-Team movie. That's true. He was mad murder. He did the one where he was a robot and the robot learnt to like.

Chappy. Chappy. But since then. Don't ever allow Sharlto Copley to rest on his laurels, all right? All right, I'll look. Yeah. Here we go. Do you know he's South African?

Yeah. Yeah, everyone knows that. Did you know? It was in Hardcore Henry. I'm sure he did know this. You liked that, didn't you? No, it was fine. Something that I guess I must have known, but I didn't think about it until recently,

Joel Kinnaman is Swedish. Yeah, or Swedish American, isn't he? Maybe. Yeah, what about that? He went to high school in Sweden. Okay. I just ran an interview with him recently because of Suicide Squad, and he's in a movie with Noomi Rapace.

Okay. And I'm like, oh, yeah, he's Swedish. Good Lord. He looks Swedish, don't you think? Yeah, he does look Swedish. He's got that Stellan Skarsgård look. Yeah, he does, doesn't he? That floppity hair.

Yeah. They try to hide it with Hollywood hair, but it doesn't work. We see your floppity hair, Joel does look sweet. He's got that Stellan Skarsgård look. Yeah, he does, doesn't he? That floppity hair. They try to hide it with Hollywood hair, but it doesn't work. We see your floppity hair, Joel Kinnaman. We know what you're doing and we don't approve. That's right. What about this? We've talked about this recently, but do you think Inception, like to come back to the world of Inception.

Yeah, Twinception. That's what you call it. But not even like get the same team and do another heist. Yeah. Just be like dreams are weird and you can get in them. But you do Yeah. Just be like dreams are weird and you can get in them. But you do it from another perspective. Dreams are weird and you can get in them. Yeah. What do you think?

Yeah, I would like that a lot. Because I think movies like that, and maybe you'll disagree with me here, but like say Looper, for example. Yeah. These are prime worlds that you've set up that you could come back to in a different way. A different team would be good. Maybe not an Inception style job, but maybe just

an extraction job, which is meant to be sort of the bread and butter of these teams in that universe would be good. Maybe a prequel that is about the army developing the technology kind of thing, like what it was originally meant to do. What was it supposed to do? It was training,

wasn't it? It was training, yeah, so the soldiers could kill each other and not actually die. That's so cool. Very cool, right? Yes, very cool. So, yeah, what about Looper, though, in that respect? What about a comedy where it's, what's the guy's name? What's the guy?

Isn't it Cobb? Dom Cobb? No, no, no. What's the name of the guy who gets dragged away by security? At the start? He's like the worst one in it. He's the worst one. What's the actor's name?

I've forgotten. Let me find out. Please look it up. But he's DiCaprio's mate in real life, isn't he? Yeah. Yeah, he's that dude and his name is Lucas Haas. Lucas Haas. We get Lucas Haas back and it's a comedy and he gets an extraction team together

and they just can't get it right. You know what I mean? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. So there you go. I've? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. So there you go. I've got a list here. Do you want me to just rattle off my list?

I guess so. But I was going to say with Inception, that's the problem with this universe is that I do love the universe and I think it's a great idea. Yes. But the problem is, and again, it's a, I believe it's one of those concepts that took years to put together and the plot took years to put together and then they have to, you know.

Design various stairwells. Exactly, they've got to design a lot of stairwells and they've got to put all the layers of reality together so it mostly makes sense. Yeah, but that's movie making. Well, I know it's movie making. Yeah, no, that's true. But I feel like, I don't know, I feel like.

You're saying they couldn't do it again. I'm saying would Nolan do it again? I don't think he would, no. But that's the thing. So you'd have to get somebody else who's probably going to like dash something out that is maybe not as good. I don't know if he'd allow that to happen. I think if he did do it, he might do it in like 10 years.

Yeah. You know, directors often go, I'll come back to Blade Runner or whatever the hell else. Alien. Let's say it's just a fast-paced action thriller. Let's say we take the cast of Ocean's Twelve and we put them in Inception. Oh, my God, Bruce Willis is in it?

As himself? I guess so. As himself? Yeah, yeah, fine. Yeah, they have to go to Bruce Willis' dream. And stop him from making movies. Not hard. That wouldn't be hard at all, would it?

What about they have to get in there and they have to... They just go in there and like, hey, Bruce, how about you just don't make movies anymore? And he's like, yeah, I was thinking about it, actually. I don't know why I've been doing it for the last 15 years to be honest. What about this? They go in and they have to convince him, fire up his passion for making movies again.

That's an impossible task I feel. Could they pull it off? But not for the team with Lucas Haas involved. Yes, it would be, wouldn't it? Yeah. Because let's say he gets dragged away in that one as well. I guess the thing, what I'm saying is if you make it just like a fast-paced action movie, does it feel like there's something missing if you don't add

like an element of huge drama to it? You'd definitely have to, yeah. But that's what I'm saying. If you did that, if you're like, here's a different team and this guy's also haunted by something. Yeah. You know? I don't know.

Maybe he's got regrets and like his kid is in another country. You could add more. There's got to be more ways to. Maybe he's got regrets and like his kid is in another country. I guess you could add more. There's got to be more ways to add people's various psychoses and like psychological problems. Definitely. Because in the inception, you know, Dom's obsession with the loss of his wife causes her to keep showing up and ruining things. Yeah.

He's just trying to do an inception and she's like, not today. No, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no. Well, I think maybe you lean into the mental health side of it He's just trying to do an Inception and she's like, not today. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Well, I think maybe you lean into the mental health side of it and you do it as like a treatment kind of thing. Oh. Yeah, you make it like a new mutant so you set it in a hospital or whatever.

You make it like glass. Make it like the movie Glass and you put Bruce Willis and you try to convince him that he loves movies. But at the end. He doesn't? He doesn't. Because not even millions of dollars of military technology in a highly skilled team of just brain-melting professionals

could convince Bruce Willis that he still loves movies. It won't happen. It will never happen. Anyway, we should probably move on. How about this movie? Okay. What about Brightburn? Is that on your list?

It's not on my list actually. Yeah, because it's a good concept but it's fine I guess. But the idea of it is compelling. And that's the thing. It is one of those ones. I think at the time when we watched that I'm like, oh, yeah, I would watch a sequel to that. I think there is a sequel in development.

Is there? I believe so. Okay. Because it made enough maybe? Sorry, go on. I mean the premise of Brightburn, if you haven't seen it, it's a horror movie but rather than the killer being, you know, somebody who goes into your dreams or, you know, has a big axe or whatever,

it's someone who has the powers of Superman and they're a killer and they're also a kid. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And at the end of the movie sort of hints that there are evil versions of many of the other heroes out there. Because they say that. They literally say. You know, Wonder Woman.

But evil Wonder Woman. She's strangling people with a noose or something. I don't know what she's up to. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And again, but I feel like, again, that movie is sort of deliberately designed to be like, well, what would happen in the feud? Like I don't think there was ever any intention really to tease a sequel.

To me it really feels like that was a, you know. I think there always was the idea. Maybe. Well, because if you look at the – because they've talked about it, like James Gunn's talked about it because he's a producer and a number of other people. Yeah. You know, the kids keen to come back and whatever.

But the budget was $6 million to $12 million and it made $32 million, which is like not great, but on $6 million to $12 million. Pretty good. It's pretty bloody good, mate. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, no, I think it wouldn't, I'd say, would you say Brightburn? Oh yeah, Brightburn. Brightburnt.

Yes, Brightburn. Yeah, it's already the damage is done. Would you introduce like good guys? I reckon I would introduce. Or the boys. I reckon I would introduce. Well, that's the thing, I guess. Do you just make it Justice League, but they're evil

and just follow the same beats as that kind of like an injustice or whatever? I don't think you do a family raises another lunatic. No. Because, you know, I think you keep the universe but you take it in a different direction. I reckon maybe we could put – Kind of like Blade Runner in the movie Soldier with Kurt Russell. That's right.

I reckon you could maybe put in a Lex Luthor-esque character who is attempting to... But he's a nice guy. Well, maybe he's still a bad guy, but he's like, well, I've got to take down these. Yeah. Ah, I dropped my wedding ring. Do you age up the kid?

I feel you age up the kid. You could, but he's, you know, he'd probably, by the time they make it, he'd probably be aged up. He'd be the age where he could just do it, yeah. Yeah, that's right. You were not having a good time there. You dropped a coin, your headphones fell off. Don't even tell me about it, Mason.

No, I like that idea of Brightburn, and thank you for bringing it up, Mason. You dropped a coin, your headphones fell off. Don't even tell me about it, Mason. No, I like that idea of Brightburn and thank you for bringing it up, Mason. You're very welcome. So this is an interesting one because it has been floated for years and apparently I've just Googled it now that it keeps coming up. Apparently you've just Googled it now? Apparently, just allegedly. I don't want to cross any boundaries here. People are saying you just Googled

it now. But the director of Galaxy Quest says that Galaxy Quest 2 comes up every few months. Of course it does. Maybe the director of Galaxy Quest says that Galaxy Quest 2 comes up every few months. Of course it does. Maybe don't though. And Alan Rickman's dead and it's been 20 years. There's a great documentary that's been made. Yeah, Sigourney Weaver either will or will not do it. I think she'd definitely do it.

Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, it is kind of a, it's definitely a classic. It's kind of, yeah, I don't mess with a classic. No. But I mean, Bill and Ted 3 was pretty good. Yeah, but it wasn't like, wow. Right. A lot of people are saying wow, though.

Yeah, it's good. I like it. Owen Wilson is constantly saying it. He's never said that in his life. But, yeah, I like Bill and Ted. But Galaxy Quest is like, it's crazy good. Yeah. And I just, I think with Rickman gone and like,

do I want to see Tim Allen? Not really. You know? But then again, he's old Shatner now. So maybe that's, maybe, who directed Galaxy Quest? I don't know. Let me check on the internet allegedly. Do you think it's a famous person or do you think it's just some guy?

Dean Parasot. He's done things. He did some of the Red movies. Oh, he did Bill and Ted Face the Music. He directed it? Yep. Wow. All right.

Well, then Galaxy Quest 2 is a lock if you ask me because now he's got some juice because people are like, wow. Wow. Did he actually? He did. What the fuck? Yeah, he directed Red too. But if you look at like his other movies, they're like fun with Dick and Jane.

Like it's like, yeah, these are okay. Right. So I don't know if he could do. But then he's worked on like Curb Your Enthusiasm and Northern Exposure and whatever. So I don't know. I think it's unlikely to be anywhere near as good, but I don't know. It's not our money, is it?

Exactly. Right? I mean, we spend the money on our cinema tickets. In know. It's not our money, is it? Exactly. Right? I mean, we spend the money on our cinema tickets. In a way, it is our money, isn't it? Yeah. But if they lose- Give us our money back, Dean, whatever your name is. But if they lose $40 million, we're okay with that.

Tell you what, Dean, if you send us, PayPal is $20 each. Yeah. US. Yeah, exactly. Good conversion rate factor. Yeah, thank you. And we'll send you, we'll buy tickets to Galaxy Quest 2. Yeah, we will. Yeah. US. Yeah, exactly. Good conversion rate factor. Yeah, thank you. And we'll send you we'll buy tickets to Galaxy Quest 2. Yeah, we will.

This is one I think is interesting but also maybe don't. Okay. Serenity. Even though it was a series and it was a movie and there's various comic books where they do various heists. Yeah, there's sequel comics. It's done, right? Yeah. There's all, you know, there's comics that are like,

well, after the movie what happened and why she's dead and blah, blah, blah. She's dead and what happened. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I don't think you could. God, it is a good universe, I'll tell you that much. I agree. Well, do you then do the thing where you go in there but it's like.

A different team. Well, it's like the Force Awakens of whatever. You do it like that? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know if Firefly slash Serenity would ever have that fan push. Like they didn't. I guess they had enough push to get the movie made.

Yeah, barely. Yeah. But it's never. It was also that just Joss Whedon pulling in a billion favours. Yeah. But it's never done well. No. Normally.

I mean it's, you know, I I know DVD sales have been good and whatever. But then he is the guy who directed The Avengers. Yep. And Age of Ultron. Yep. And a Shakespeare thing he did in between or whatever. That's right. In his house.

Yeah, yeah. I don't think any studio is giving Joss Whedon $80 million at the moment to make something either. Yeah. But if they wanted to do it, I would definitely watch it. And again, like it's one of those things where they built enough intrigue. But also, well, that's the thing, because they built a lot of intrigue into the series.

And I think Weedon knowing that he probably wouldn't get enough, get another, a second movie out of this sort of. It ends. Yeah, it ends. And it's sort of like all the gaps were kind of filled in. Like there were these, you know, the ravagers who are these mysterious, like insane cyborg people in the series. It's like, what's going on with these guys?

And then in the movie they're like, well, this is the answer. It's a thing. Yeah. I'll tell you. People are like, well, it's a whole thing. The end. We get into it. God, it's just a whole thing.

I don't want to get into it. Credits. Yeah. But I don't know. But it's just a whole thing and I want to get into it. Credits. Yeah, but I don't know. But it's been since Serenity, it's been 15 years and there's no word that they'd even start that any time soon. Okay, but James, who were the mysterious men with the gloves? Oh, yeah. Right? I don't give a shit.

Nice. Do you? That's actual dialogue from the sequel. Who are these guys? Do you? Credits. So I guess I'd say it, but I wouldn't. I don't know if I'd have high hopes.

Yeah. Me neither. People love that Nathan Fillion. People love that Alan Tudyk. I agree. People love that other actors. But I think people used to love this, but there's been revelations about people involved in this movie

over the decades and franchises that people now don't like for various reasons, which I'm not going to get into. Because I know that there was a number of Joss Whedon fans that shut down after all those allegations. Thewhedonverse.net or whatever it was. I don't know. Anyway, Dread. We've got to talk about Dread.

It became thewhedonverse.com. Whoa, got him. That's right, yeah. Dread. I mean, it might Anyway, Dread. We've got to talk about Dread. He became the weed and worse dot com. Whoa, got him. Dread. I mean, it might be getting a sequel. Maybe. But Dread 2, right? Yeah. They won't, but yeah. I love it. Didn't make enough money. It's really good. Maybe they do a Dread Spiderverse

with Stallone as well. How wacky do you think Dread 2 could be? As wacky as the first one. The Stallone one? Yes. Wow. No, I'd want to see like insane like mutants in the desert, weird mech shit, whatever. But I don't know whether they'd be able to do it. Because I feel there's a limitation I feel, not even just budgetary,

but like there's a limitation of how weird. Creativity. Is that what you're saying? No, not creativity, James. The human mind is unlimited creativity. I think it's very limited. But go on. But I feel like the original Judge Dredd based on the comic book is set in that sort of like caricature style megacity one

where everything is absolutely crazy insane. It's Thatcher's London maybe or something. Yes. But also that. But it's not, you know what I mean? It's British. Yeah. Politics and stuff.

Yes. Isn't it sort of? Sort of, yes. Yeah, that's in a very vague way. But I feel like the mega city one we got in Dread. Yeah. Which is kind of like just a big dirty regular city. Should have called it Drab.

Nice. I don't think as many people would have seen a movie called Drab. I mean, it didn't do that well regardless. Let me look up the movie Drab. Maybe Drab, then the tagline could have been not as drab as we've made it out to be with the title of this movie. Judge Dredd's in it. Yeah, so true.

Carl Urban, though. It's Carl Urban, though. Yeah, he's good. He's bloody. So budget was 30 to 45 million and made 41 million I would hazard a guess yes

that Dredd has done reasonably well since oh yeah streaming and digital whatever but I don't know that obviously they're making

the series because somebody probably crunched the numbers and went we can make this profitable yeah if they ever make it but anyway

and if Carl Urban isn't busy doing the boys. Yeah. Making the boys. But that's only eight episodes a year or whatever, isn't it? That's true. And he turns up twice an episode to go, fucking hell, mate. He's in it a lot less this season, yeah.

Yeah. He's often sitting on a couch. He's got that wire brush hair. Yeah. It's very thick. I like it. I like it too, yeah. What's he about?

What's his secret? He's probably got some wire brush on his head. I don't think that's the secret, but we'll come back to it too, yeah. What's he about? What's his secret? He's probably got like some wire brush on his head. I don't think that's the secret, but we'll come back to it in another week. Okay. I put this down because a lot of people have asked for it. The Nice Guys, the Wahlberg, Will Ferrell comedy. I saw a tweet this week that was like, they should just make a Nice Guys every year.

Just make a sequel every year. I think it would be better to do it that way than be like, it's been 10 years and what are the nice guys doing? Sure. I think it would be interesting to make it more episodic because we talked about it last week, but comedy sequels generally not very good. Yeah.

Yeah, so I don't know. I really like the nice guys, but I'm, no thanks, I guess, is what I'm saying. What if they're even nicer? They weren't that nice in the first place. Well, that is what I'm saying. What if they were even nicer? They weren't that nice in the first place. Okay, well, that's what I'm saying. Maybe you'd like it more, even more if they were nicer. Okay, I guess I would.

No, thank you. Less nice? Just as nice. Yeah, okay. Well, I want the same again, don't I? So, yes. This one has been mentioned multiple times by not so much James Cameron but everyone else involved.

Yes. Tom Arnold more recently but True Lies 2. Yeah. I don't know. You don't know. No, Mason, what do you think? No, it stands on its own, I think. It definitely does but with the cast back and if James Cameron did it,

which he wouldn't. No. Maybe it would work as a series. And Arnold is like the head of the agency now. He shows up occasionally. Yeah, in the role of Charlton Heston did in the first one. And maybe Jamie Lee Curtis works there as well. Eliza Dushku is the agent.

Yeah, that'd be cool. She's good at kicking and flipping. But you could bring in, yeah, I think if you did it that way, I still don't think that would be good. But also what's the draw of True Lies if it's a new, if the cast is new? Like what differentiates it from any given like action comedy TV series? You know what I mean?

The cast. Well, yeah, because the draw of the movie is it's got Arnold Schwarzenegger and Tom Arnold. Tom Arnold, exactly. Yeah. But if you take those elements But if you remove those elements, if you take out the novelty of it's Arnold, but he's a super suave super spy,

you've just got a different guy who's a super suave super spy and that's a real roll of the dice, I think. There's only a small number of people you can cast in that kind of role as the James Bond franchises may be proven proven that you can put them in there and they're suave and they're not annoyingly smug. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I think it also works for Arnold when they're like, he's James Bond because he's clearly not like he stands out so much. And if he walked into a party, you'd be like, fuck is this? Like that would be, it'd be odd. You know what I mean?

Well, I was going to say, speaking of Eliza Dushku, I think she's in that TV movie version of The Saint. Okay. Where it was meant to be a series and that was the pilot. I think she's in that. And we got a guy who was like, I'm The Saint and I'm suave and cool. And I think people were like, I don't buy this at all. Yeah.

You know? He's not. That's what you're saying. I remember him being fine like, I don't buy this at all. Yeah. You know? He's not. That's what you're saying. I remember him being fine but I don't... Isn't the saint is supposed to be like an everyman, right? And by that I mean he can be anybody. No, that's the movie version. That's the Val Kilmer version. Oh yeah, we've talked about this

before. Yeah. Maybe I should watch more of the saint. You should watch more of the saint. I won't. Whoa. Yeah. Okay, so cool. He's a suave guy but he's not a spy. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Well, that's like us. That guy, but he's not a spy. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Well, that's like us. Exactly. According to Jamie Lee Kernis, True Lies can never have a sequel.

So there you go. But I know Tom Arnold brings it up probably in a Howard Stern interview every three months or whatever. Well, that's the only movie he was in, so. Well, that's not true, but it's the most well-known one. I was in. He's probably in a movie with Jim Belushi. He's probably in like one of the vacation movies.

No doubt. I'm thinking of one of the Quades. Yeah, you might be right. But he's probably, he's in, I'm sure he's in a movie where he's like some sort of rude holiday maker. He's got a cam around his neck. He's wearing a store hat. Yeah, absolutely.

Well, he's in the toilet next to Austin Powers, remember? Oh, yeah. Sure, yeah. But yeah, I Well, he's in the toilet next to Austin Powers, remember? Oh, yeah. Sure, yeah. But, yeah, I do – I think it's hard to replicate because I think one of the jokes of that movie, and maybe I'm reading this wrong, is that Arnold isn't – doesn't look like a spy who could read, you know, multiple languages and fit it anywhere.

Yeah, right. He's not that guy. That's, I think, why it's funny and it works. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, that's lightning in a ball, that one. Speaking of Austin Powers, we didn't talk about – I don't know if we talked about it last week. Would you, are you happy with three

Austin Powers movies? I'd have to re-watch them, but it doesn't matter, ultimately. I actually put that on here, as would you. In a way, in a way, these things are out of our control, James. We cannot control how many Austin Powers movies they have made in the past. I would see another Austin Powers. Even with the power that we have developed from this podcast, this fake

radio show we make in a spare room, we don't have the power to retroactively cancel the multi-million dollar franchise of the Austin Powers movies. Remember when they made the ads that were kind of like the Star Wars prequel ads? Yeah. Very good. Would you see another one, though?

I know that goes against the rules of like there was a one good one or whatever, but I would see another one. I would definitely see an Austin Powers four. I think, I know people kind of rag on three, but there's some good stuff in three as well. You know, it's the opening with all the different celebrities and whatever. Yeah, Tom Cruise.

Here's one. Michael Caine is good in that. I agree. I think they must have gone for Connery first, right? Oh, I don't know. That's a really good question actually. Because he can do comedy as well. Can he?

Indiana Jones. Oh, yeah. He's funny in that a really good question. Because he can do comedy as well. Can he? Indiana Jones. Oh, yeah. He's funny in that. Hadn't he long retired? 2003, no. Or maybe that year, even. Because I think that might have been Liguric's The One to Be Gentleman the same year. Michael Caine's a better choice.

Well, I was going to say, you know, Mike Myers has very specific... Because some of it's based on Alfie maybe. Well, I think so. I mean, he is also, he's Carter from Get Carter, obviously. The Stallone movie. Yes.

He's in that as well. Is he old Carter? No, he's a different character. He's a different guy. Yeah, yeah. Why? Anyway, go on. But he's like, I feel like Mike Myers had a very specific vision

for all of that. And I can completely feel him going like, well, you know, as a product of the 60s, 70s, Michael Caine fits right in there. He had those glasses and all, didn't he? Yeah, for sure. Yeah, yeah. Okay, fair enough. Because he was in Sluice.

Yeah, the new one and the old one. Right. Jude Law. Jude Law. Do you think every time a new version of one of Michael Caine's old movies comes in, he's rubbing his hands together? The Italian job, he says. Yeah.

No, they made it. Sorry, Jude Law, you missed. You missed your chance. People like this movie, Master and Commander, and it ends with like maybe he'll be doing more commanding real soon. Really? But then he didn't. Oh.

Oh, because that's based on a book series, right? Based on a series. Okay. Napoleonic Wars or something. Is that not a TV series already? Probably. Please look into it. It might be a TV series. Where do you want me to look specifically? Use the internet. Use Bing. Put it through Bing. I want to see what Bing

can do for us. I'm going to open Bing in an incognito window so it doesn't come into my auto searches. You're going to do it in an incognito window so it doesn't so it doesn't come into my auto searches. You're going to do it Bing cognito. That's right. Master and Commander 2. Oh, this is a nightmare.

This interface is slightly different. I don't like just why the sequel never happened on Screen Rant. That just didn't. Is it happening?

No. Please let it be another Screen Rant article. It wasn't that good, was it? I have no idea. I've never seen it. I've seen it.

It's all right. Maybe it's really good. Maybe. Here's one. Yes. I mean, it's still going, but the Simpsons movie? I don't want to see another Simpsons movie. What about this one?

I've paired these together. Yep. Because they're Will Smith. There's Will Smith heavy because he's in them. Hitch 2. Hancock and I Am Legend. Sure, and Hitch 2. Of those three, I'd watch a Hitch 2 but I would not watch.

The other two? I think Hitch would have a lot to say about Tinder. Probably would. Because Tinder's been around for a decade now. Maybe. So it'd be ripe for a skewering from Hitch. That's so true. But maybe he has to get back in the game because his wife hates him

and she divorced him. Oh, yeah, maybe. And he's on Tinder. But he's like, he can't understand smartphones. But he's also Will Smith, so he can just. Oh, yeah, to be fired. Be really fired. And he's both Will Smith, the charming actor,

and he's Hitch, the very charming man. So I don't think he'd have a problem. Could be called Hitch 2. He's not going to have a problem. But maybe he's lost his edge and Kevin James has to help him. Oh, yes. Yes. Because his wife died or him. Oh, yes. Yes. Because his wife died or whatever.

Oh, my God. What? You've gone too far. His wife died in an explosion. Just a. Yeah. But Hancock, they've been saying that for a hundred. I know you've got more Hitch 2 things to say.

No, I don't. You look like you've got something to say. I'm just trying to put together some elements that I remember from the movie Hitch and be like how precisely did she die in that explosion? Wasn't she a diplomat or something? I don't know. No, I think she's a journalist because she's writing an article

on Hitch or something. No, I mean Kevin James' wife in that. No, she's a high society lady. An heiress or something. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I meant Will Smith's partner, Eva Longoria. No, Eva. It's a name.

I don't know. She's in Ghost Rider Mason. Oh. Eva Mendes. Yes. Thank you. There we go. Anyway, she dies in some sort of heiress-based explosion.

No, because if you remember, Will Smith keeps making a fool of himself in front of her. Like he kicks her in the face and he eats like shellfish. It's the shrimp. But he accidentally kills her in like a balloon accident. Also, both wives are dying. I never said Kevin James' wife was dying. No, I thought that's what you meant.

So Hitch 2, both their wives died. That's what it's called. It's called Hitch 2, both their wives died. That's what it's called. It's called Hitch 2, both their wives died, but Hitch has lost his edge, so Kevin James has to help him. So Kevin James, despite the love of his life dying, is still got game. Yeah, that's right. He helps Hitch find.

Joint funeral? Yeah, yeah, it saves time. But Kevin James is the one that's like, we've got to get back out there. Yeah, yeah. Like, our wives just died. Yeah. And Kevin James is like, jackpots.

Because he's rich. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All that heiress money. Yeah. Great. Do you want to see Hancock 2? No. Because I don't.

I know a lot of people like the idea of that universe in movies, but it's not for me. I'd rather see, look, if Lady who was in Hancock, famous lady, very famous, very famous lady. Charlize Theron. Charlize Theron. If she only has time to do that or another Old Guard movie, I'd like another Old Guard movie.

Fair enough. Thank you. What about I Am Legend, depending on which version you consider canon? Absolutely not. Nothing movie. Don't care for it. We're going to have to cut this short because there's a lot here. Okay, we can do another one.

We can do another one another week. But I just wanted to ask you, what about if they just did another Terminator 3? Oh, yeah. I'd say that. I'd say it. Just take another run at it. Yeah, I'd say it. It'll probably go straight to video on demand, so I'll watch it.

Yeah, cool. Probably just go to webisodes or something. Yeah, they might go to webisodes. What would the premise of another Terminator 3 be, though? What about Wild West Terminators? Yeah, we've talked about this. Yeah, yeah. But just, yeah, like a different time period and take the universe

but do something else with it. Yeah. Which, to its credit, I don't really like it, but like Salvation did that. Yeah. It's like what if you don't send like it, but like Salvation did that. Yeah. It's like what if you don't send someone back through time and they're protecting or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know?

So there you go. Or we just make that sequel to Genesis or trilogy that we're going to make. I reckon a Western would be good. I reckon you do a Western and then you could just say. You've got to use old-timey guns like hand-cranked. Oh, my God. Imagine a Terminator with a Gatling gun and he's turning the crank. From two big wooden wheels.

Oh, my God. In a muddy field that he's trying to turn it. Yeah. Yeah, cool. A train fight, Terminator train fight. Do you get Arnold or do you get like someone from Westworld? That's the thing, isn't it? Because of cowboys.

Yeah. That's also a problem as well because I think if I wanted to see a Terminator but with cowboys, I'd want like an iconic cowboy guy in it. Who are you going to get, Eastwood? He's a billion years old. Nobody said Eastwood. I said Eastwood. But who's left of the original?

Well, who's in Westworld these days? Aaron Paul. Nope. James Marsden. Who? Anthony Hopkins. Tandy Newton. Yep. These are all cowboys. These are James Marsden. Cool. Anthony Hopkins. Tandy Newton. Yep.

These are all cowboys. These are all good actors. Yeah. I don't know. Do you go in a different, what I liked about the more recent Terminator was that the bad guy was someone we hadn't really seen before and he had a little bit of personality and stuff. Yeah, that's true.

I feel like he was the closest thing to replicating like a good villain that was Terminator since two. Yeah, yeah. But, you know, whatever. Yeah. Who do you get, Mason? I feel like it was the closest thing to replicating like a good villain that was Terminator since 2. Yeah, yeah. But, you know, whatever. Yeah. Who do you get, Mason? I don't know. What about, I mean, you just look at the remake of Magnificent Seven.

This is a bad idea is what I'm saying. Yeah, it's a good idea. That's what I'm saying. It's a bad idea. You know, you could get it because it was going to be him initially. Yeah. That murderer, O.J. Simpson. Yeah, the murderer O.J. Simpson.

Yeah, you could do that, I guess. Yeah. But also if you say that he went, whoever it is, you say that the Terminator gets sent back in time, but like it's too, yeah, I think you could go, okay, well. They try to hang him and they're like, he's too heavy. Maybe. And he also wouldn't let you do that.

He wouldn't let you, he would kill you all. But I think if you were like, you could build in a sort of limitation to the time travel and say if you go back a certain, you can only go back a certain amount of time. Yeah. And there's risks involved. So if you send back a Term of limitation to the time travel and say if you go back a certain... You can only go back a certain amount of time and there's risks involved. So if you send back a Terminator to like the Western time, they get damaged a bit and then he's not as indestructible. Yeah.

Because otherwise, like what are cowboys going to do against the Terminator? Well, that's what I think... I mean, hit him with a train, I guess. But I think that's what's interesting about him. Like you trap him in a mine explosion or something. Yeah. I think the idea that you are limited... I think that's what's so...

He time travels back to a mine that's immediately exploded and then you kill him. Big stick of dynamite. Big stick of dynamite, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but I think that's what's interesting about the first Terminator and some of the other ones in particular too. Brolin. Brolin's a good choice and he was Jonah Hex.

Yeah, yeah. And he wants to make people forget about Jonah Hex. He does. But we're going to call the character Jonah Hex. And he's. And he wants to make people forget about Jonah Hex. He does. But we're going to call the character Jonah Hex. And he's got the scars from time travel. It's the new model T, Jonah Hex. Yeah, good, good. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But that's what I like about the good Terminator movies is that they're mostly indestructible and you have to use whatever weapons you have to defeat them. Yeah, yeah. But you take that to an era where the weapons are even worse. That's true, yeah. That's bad. Well, you are right in that instance because we have seen,

I think in Genesis we had the idea of like, well, here's the T-1000 and here's a T-800 and you can kill them both in two seconds if you know what you're doing. So to bring it back to that and be like, they'll all be like, consign it, these pistols aren't doing nothing, you know what I mean? Not doing diddly squat, they'd say. They would say that, right? Yeah.

Then you hit him with a train. Steam train? Yeah. Yeah, because you wouldn't have like a high-powered modern locomotive unless they sent that back through train. Send a monorail back. But they'd have to send it back covered in human skin so it would get through.

That's right. Yeah. Just a big flesh-covered train just hammering out of time. Wow. Is that a metaphor for something? Yeah, it's a metaphor for the end of Back to the Future 3. Wow. Is that a metaphor for something? Yeah. It's his metaphor for the end of back to the future three. Cool.

I like it. That's Doc Brown. That's what he's about. Wow. You know what I mean? Having kids through time. Yuck. Yes.

Anyway. Here's what, that's, you know what? It's kind of something I'm interested in. Listeners out there, if you haven't got a good idea for an old time, who could be a new Terminator?

And you wouldn't be like, I'm sick of Terminator. I think you'd take it back to like the idea what they were going to do with like Lance Hendrickson. Don't say The Rock. You're not allowed. No, you're not allowed to say it. No Vin Diesels, none of these types. No Tom Holland.

No Robert Downey Jr. Everyone's loving Tom Holland. We're not MCU fan casting this, except for the one where I said Brolin, which is fine. It's as far as we're going. But yeah, I think the idea that they were going to get Lance Hendrickson originally for the first time out because he's an infiltration unit because, again, it's that idea of Arnold is a guy as opposed

to like an enormous Austrian bodybuilder, which is a very odd choice. Yes. But anyway, maybe it's to do with the hydraulics. They've got big hydraulics. It has to be pretty big. Yeah, maybe. There you go. Anyway, we'll come back to this maybe even next week.

Maybe send in some franchises that you'd like to see more of because I do have some. Or less of. We can do both. Or less of. Yeah, whatever. There are no rules over here. Yeah, I've got a bunch here, but any suggestions?

I've just written here Alita, but not for me. Okay, yeah. I know people love it, but we can talk about that next week. Anyway, should we go to the next segment of the show? Yes. But what is it? Because I always forget. James, it's called What We Read In.

Yeah. I'm not finished. Let me finish. I'll wait. What We Gonna Read. I remember now. Yeah. Because I say Westworld in the theme.

You do. It's true. I'm doing the theme. Westworld. Oh, I stopped the theme song too early. Oh, my God. People are going to hate that. Anyway, let's go on.

You start because I cannot remember for the life of me. I've had some time off, but I don't know what. What have you been doing, Mason? Just crimes. I thought you were going to say just crying. But you said it's sinister. Just crying. Yeah.

Are you going to watch Ratched? No. The origin of Nurse Ratched from One Flew Over the Cookie's Nest. I love Sarah Paulson. She's great, but no. It's number five in Australia today on Netflix. Great. I've seen their list.

They put that Bruce Willis medical drama on there as well. What is it called? It's like a, look up Bruce Willis. It's got like a blue, just look it up on Netflix. I won't. Just type in Bruce Willis. Okay's got like a blue, just look it up on Netflix. I won't. Just type in Bruce Willis. Okay, here we go. You'll see.

Oh my God. It's like from 2018 and they're pushing this movie. I'm like, why are you pushing a modern Bruce Willis? Trauma center? Yeah. Oh God. Oh look, it's Bruce Willis dressed as a normal man looking annoyed that he has to do anything. Okay.

How do you think they got him on board for that? I think they probably just filmed him at a hospital. Like he went in for like a, maybe he hurt his hand or something at home and he went in and they're like, we should film this. Because his real passion is guitaring probably. Maybe, yeah, yeah. Or like working around the house maybe. Do you think he plays saxophone?

No. I reckon in the 90s him and Bill Clinton played saxophone together. Nikki Whelan is in this. Is she Australian? Yeah, she's Australian, yeah. She was from Bad Scrubs. I remember Bad Scrubs. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But also other things. Wow. You know what I will watch? What? Speaking of. Bruce Willis. Just kidding. I will probably watch The Devil All the Time.

Oh, that's supposed to be good. Speaking of MCU fan castings, Tom Holland. And Anthony, not Anthony Mackie. The other guy who's in The Winter Soldier. Sebastian Stan. Yes, I believe. And Robert Bat other guy who's in The Winter Soldier. Sebastian Stan. Yes, I believe. And Robert Battenbatt is in there as well. He's not in an MCU movie, Mason.

I know. Don't you know anything about movies? No, I don't know anything. They're all the same to me. Okay. Yeah. And Australia's own Mia Wachowska? Oh, a lot of Australia.

Jason Clarke is in this. He's from Terminator. Genesis. Genesis, yeah. But also better movies. Riley Keough is in this. Elvis's from Terminator. Genesis. Genesis, yeah. But also better movies. Riley Keough is in this. Elvis Presley's granddaughter or whatever she is. Oh, my goodness.

I wish I was Elvis Presley's granddaughter. Well, you're not. But one day maybe. Oh, one of the Scars guys is in it. Yeah, Bill Scarsguard. What's his name's in it from Harry Potter? Yeah. Very good.

These are all, oh, Liv Tyler. Oh, no. I thought that was Liv Tyler. Riley Keough looks like Liv Tyler, right? Yes. Oh, Liv Tyler. I know. I thought that was Liv Tyler. Riley Keough looks like Liv Tyler, right? Yes. Oh my god. That's uncanny. Anyway, it looks really good. And it's weird that... Tim Blake Nelson? Is he? Yes!

Whoa! Love Tim Blake Nelson. Me too. Anyway, what's that about? Like a bad family or something? You know what? I'm just going to tell you off the top of my head what it's about. Here we go. Sinister characters converge around a young man devoted to protecting those he loves in a post-war backwards town teeming with corruption and brutality. What does it mean by post-war?

Like in the 50s, I think. Or late 40s, yeah. Okay. Great. It's exciting. I'm excited to see Tom Holland in a role that isn't Spider-Man. Yeah, and he's like, the devil's all the time in this town. Right. I'm smoking a cigarette because I'm a man in this one. Smoking a cigarette, I've seen. Wow. Right. I'm smoking a cigarette because I'm a man in this one.

Smoking a cigarette, I've seen. Wow. Yeah. It's rude. I agree. But it's the 50s. It's post-war. Yeah.

And unfortunately, Netflix hired a guy to sit in the background of all those scenes and he would smoke and then the guy would be like, well, it's the 50s though, isn't it? So it's fine you're doing that. It's like a stage play. You're technically allowed to smoke in a stage play or something. Are you? It gets around the rules of like theatre.

So if you ever just want to smoke indoors, just make a fake play and just do a monologue and smoke a pack of cigarettes. Yeah, right, okay. Just whatever's on your mind, you know. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, there you go. Just sell out a theatre and just have a couple of caspers. Yeah, nice.

I'll tell you what, next time we do a live show, I will smoke 30 cigarettes. Scratch. Just one after the other. In total silence and we just count one every time you finish smoking. We're like, one. I reckon I could probably do four before I vomit. Do you reckon I could do four? I could probably lost it. Do you reckon I could do four?

I could probably do four. Yeah, probably you could do four. Yeah. I also never got around to I'm Thinking of Ending Things. I've heard it's so grim, so that's why I haven't watched it yet. I've heard it's both very. But also good. Yeah, because I like Charlie Kaufman who directed and I think wrote this.

And I like Jesse Plemons who's in it. Yeah. And I don't know any of the, I don't know. I think it's a sort of a relationship drama that takes a weird, maybe supernatural turn. But people are like, oh, my God, Charlie Kaufman, he's done another thing. He's great.

And then I've read some various feedback. It's actually not that good. Oh, okay. Maybe I'll give it a crack this week and I'll get back to you. I just heard it was sad. Oh, I don't want to watch anything sad. No, you watch happy things. Like the devil all the time.

Like the devil all the goddamn time. Speaking of Netflix. Yes, go on. I actually started to watch Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous. You were like, I'm going to hate this. Yeah, but you know what? It's all right. It's pretty good.

What do you mean? It's like a kid's show, but they're in a special Jurassic Park camp and it's kind of scary and fun. When is it set? During Jurassic World or just before. So everything's technically still cool at this point. And there hasn't been a big volcano. Right, and there hasn't been like a horrible breakout

of like a killer dinosaur in a while. Not yet, but there's hints towards a killer dinosaur. Why do they keep building these camps and parks? I think this is the first. It's like a summer camp but for dinosaurs, not for dinosaurs, for people to come along and look at dinosaurs. Maybe it's time for a summer camp for dinosaurs. I agree.

Hey, dinosaurs, it's time to learn to tie knots. Oh, God, I'm being murdered. How many different knots do you know, Mason? I know tie your shoelaces knot. I've got that one down pat. I can do a belt. Does that count? You can put a belt on.

Yeah, it's like a knot, but it's more like a belt, but I can do it. Do you think that counts? I can put on suspenders? I guess I can do one knot, which is tie your shoelace knot. Should I learn? That's the thing. If I needed to do a specific knot, I could just look it up on YouTube, I think. Oh, okay, cool.

Yeah, you should do that then. But again, like what if, like, I don't know, somebody's fallen off a cliff and I have to save them by doing a particular knot and then I'm like, I go to YouTube and I look up how to do the knot and there's a guy like, hey, guys, what's going on? Anyway, first of all, you want to get some decent kind of rope. So I like to go, anyway, if you want to buy this, I've got a –

I'm going to link to my rope. Exactly. That's right. I'm going to discount code for you and then I'll be like, goddammit, and then I'll skim through and I'll miss the essential first part. Or it doesn't even tell you the first part. Right. Oh, he assumes I know.

Yeah. Or he's like, well, I covered the basic hitch knot in a previous video, so I'm not going to do it here. But after that, I'll be like, God damn it. Clicking around. Yeah. And the comments are mostly angry. Yeah.

So you're saying that the person would die because you're Googling knots. You wouldn't just improv something? I guess I would, yeah. My brother's crushing knots because he's a firefighter. He knows so many knots. But I feel like he's one of those guys who's always known about knots, even before he was a firefighter. I feel like your dad taught him a lot of knots,

but you were not a lot of knots. My dad's like, he grew up on a farm, right, but he's never really worked as a builder or anything, but he knows how to build and fix everything. So he was telling me about some kind of lawnmower thing and how to fix it, and I'm like, how do you know that? And he's like, oh, he's, you know. I'm like, no, specifically, who told you this?

Like, why do you know this? Good question, right? Because this is things that he knew before the internet. You know what I mean? I'm like, you don't have books? Like, what are you? Do you have a guy that you call that I don't know about? Maybe. Is it your dad? Did he not die? Is he secretly giving you information? What's going

on here? Anyway, I just think it's fascinating to me. Anyway, Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous. Wow. Sounds bodacious. If you've got kids, probably a little bit older than a baby, than my kid, if they're like six to ten, they're probably like. Do you think your kid, your speaking kid would get it?

He would fucking love it, but I wouldn't. It's a bit scary for him. But he doesn't deserve it yet. I show him like there's Lego Jurassic World and Jurassic Park stuff that he watches, but this is like it's a bit too intense for a four-year-old at this point in time. But he would love it. He would lose his mind.

Should we do the next segment of the show? Momentarily we can do it. We can wait, Mason. Yeah, let's wait for a really long time. That'll be good for me actually. No, let's do it now. I'm going to do it right now. We'll do the letters segment

Yeah yeah yeah The classic one was Letters Oh letters We love you Some letters They're only A day away

I know they're here right now We're going to do letters Just so people know We're covering Mission Impossible 2 this week For Caravan of Garbage And I even trimmed my beard back To replicate something. It's the worst thing I've ever done.

But you can definitely, it'll be there this week. I'm excited for that. In the video. Yeah. And up early on. People are marvelling at your previous live action stunt. Did you say lie, Mason? Your previous lie.

No, I was going to say live action stunt. That's true. Asylum Magic, big thank you to him for teaching me how that's done. Good work. I'll never reveal it. Oh. But let me just say that I'll never reveal it. Wow.

What do you think of that, Mason? Good. If you do want to reach the show, hashtag weeklyplanetpod at gmail.com. No, on Twitter. And the allweeklyplanetpod at gmail.com. Send through a letter. You got letters, Mason? I got so many letters here.

Do you have letters for days, though? Yeah, I got letters for days. This is from Moritz. Hello, Moritz. It says, accident-free listener. Oh, good. Hi, guys. Just writing in to confirm that there are people out there who listen to the pod accident-free.

I've been listening since before BVS, and I've been listening to the podcast on most days while riding my bike to work. The only accident was fully on me. I biked into a pole and happened on one of those rare days I wasn't listening to you. Keep up keeping me safe and sane. That's from Maritz. Happy to help you not crash. That's right.

Yeah. Now it's like a good luck charm for you. Yeah, that's right. You've jinxed yourself. Every time you don't listen, you're going to have a horrible accident. Bike into a pole. That's right. Yeah, yeah.

Even if you're not, even if you're just like in a shop or something. Yeah, you'll look down and suddenly you're on a bike and you're careening towards a hat stand maybe. Hat stand, exactly. That's right. I was going to say a big display of cans. And there's a guy on the top of the ladder who's about to put the last one on.

And there's a big sign that says, new. New cans. New cans. And you crash through. Extra heavy cans. You crash through, but the guy is holding the can and he just goes, damn it. And he throws it down, doesn't he?

Yeah, that's right. But he's okay. He's fine. He's a little bit mad. He's a little bit mad right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But he's okay. He's fine. Yeah. He's a little bit mad. He's a little bit mad. I mean, he's fired now. Yeah.

He's fired. He's lost his job. I'm glad you're safe. Thank you. Not you, Mason. But I mean, you're glad I'm safe, right? No, because when you die, I can release that Superman episode. Yeah, that's true.

That could make a lot of money off it. That's true. That's my retirement fund. That very average episode. Yeah, and then you make like eight bucks. Also, I think true. That's my retirement fund. That very average episode. What if I die and then you make like eight bucks? Also, I think it's on a corrupt hard drive, so I don't even know if I can get it back. Huh.

Anyway, we'll think about it. Should we recreate it somehow? No, Mason. Do it again? No. Play that very average game of whatever it was? I want to do that. Okay, fine.

From NinjaDude3, Mason says, if you had to pull a heist, which crew would you hire? Fast family, Ocean's family, or Crew's Mission Impossible family? I mean, it depends on your eras, obviously. And it depends what we're trying to steal, obviously. Yeah, well, let's say in this case we're trying to steal. But it's the Crew's team every time. Why is that?

Because they're always the best. And he doesn't just get, like, the same group of oddballs and losers that the other two do. You know what I mean? Because every time Fast and the Furious crew, like, they've got to steal a car or a secret satellite or whatever, they always have to bring Tyrese, don't they? Oh, yeah.

Who gets through it by sheer luck. There's some other members in there that you're like, what are you even doing? But Cruise, every time, he gets. The best of the best. He gets the best of the best. He gets a girl. He gets somebody who might be replacing him in the next movie,

but he does it but he isn't. He gets Simon Pegg. He gets. Bing Rames. Bing Rames. He gets all the good ones, right? does it, but he isn't. He gets Simon Pegg. He gets Bing Rames. He gets all the good ones, right? You're absolutely right. And also, like, he often jettisons people that he doesn't need. The dead weight.

But it seems like with Fast and Furious. Like his wife. Yeah, like his wife. But it seems like with Fast and Furious and the Oceans movies, they're just piling on more people every time. And it's like you could cut out a few of these. Like you probably need the guy who can flip. Yeah, yeah.

But do you need Matt Damon's sleight of hand for this one when he's got a fake nose or whatever? Remember that one? You don't really need him. That's more for comedic effect. That's right. Cruise has taken it seriously. Yeah.

Yeah, you're right. Exactly, that's right. Okay. Not even a question. What's another one? Fabrizio. He says, not Trinidadian, I swear. Hello, guys.

My name is Daniel. Hmm. But he's – oh, maybe he's – now this is a heist. That is a very Trinidadian name. Somebody's stolen somebody else's email account here. My name is Daniel, and I'm from Uruguay. Since you were mentioning another small American country in the show, I wanted to jump in before anyone else to be the official South American

listener or at least the official Uruguayan listener. Very good. I've been listening to the show for years and would hate to have the position stolen from me. Daniel. You can't now, can you? No. Anyway, congratulations, Fabrizio.

You're getting the title, official Uruguayan listener. Who's Fabrizio is what I'm asking. What's going on here, Mason? Right? It's a mystery. What have you done? This is clearly some sort of scam. Yeah, you think so?

I think it's a scam, yeah. Okay, should we click on all the links they sent through? Yeah, yeah, definitely. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Good, good, good, good. Put in our mother's maiden names. It'll be perfect. All right, here's a question for you, Mason.

Go on. This one, Josh says, what are your favorite American sitcoms? Hashtag Weekly Planet Pod. I thought you were going to say favorite American candy because I've been thinking about that. Mason, we know you love bloody American candies. You go to a special store and you get a Reese's Pieces. I got some this week. But it's too much peanut butter for you or whatever. I don't get a Reese's Pieces.

I know you don't. I got some Zagnut bars recently. What's in a Zagnut? It's Zagnut. It's similar to a Reese's Pieces, I'll be honest with you. It's more like a Butterfinger. It's got that crunchy peanut stuff in the middle, but then it's got like a toasted coconut shell over it.

Is it named after a Flash Gordon villain? I don't know. It's a good name, right? It's a great name. It's a name that they probably came up with in the 50s. No doubt. To impress housewives. Did it work?

Yeah. They loved it. They loved it. Fifth Avenue bar, James. Got some Fifth Avenue bars. Very good. I'm not that easy. Also peanutty.

Also peanutty. You're just doing peanut stuff, aren't you? Why don't you just eat a can of peanuts, Mason? I got some minty M&Ms. Crunchy minty M&M's. Oh, that's interesting. That's like a crunchy toothpaste. Got some saltwater taffy. I like a saltwater taffy. Now what were we talking about? I've forgotten.

American sitcoms. Yes. You're a Friends fan. No. You're a Seinfeld fan. I mean, I watched a lot of Friends when it came out. Yeah, sure. I'm not going back to it like a lot of people are like rediscovering Friends. I mean, I'd like to say like, you know, we could do like your 30 Rocks and your Officers and your Curb Your Enthusiasm. But they're more kind of like modern.

Should we talk more about like the 80s, 90s? Oh, Married With Children. Married With Children, yeah. Does Malcolm in the Middle even count? No. Frasier's still good. I've watched some Frasier recently. It is good, isn't it?

Yeah, Frasier's good. Were you a Will and Grace fan? I'm sure I watched it. Yeah. Again, we didn't have as many options back in the day, so you just had to watch whatever was on. I never watched Roseanne. I never watched The Cosby Show.

I watched a lot of MASH. Big fan. What about Everybody Loves Raymond? Remember there's an episode where Deborah doesn't cook a very good meal or something and her mother comes around and just berates her for 20 minutes and then Raymond comes in and goes, and then Robert goes, I live on my own in a basement. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember that.

And then the twins run out and Raymond goes, why did I have kids? I'm such a dickhead. And then Ray's wife kills the mother. Like, all this is going on. She's just like, I've had enough of it, and, like, takes her out to the garden and is like, how do you like these roses? And Ray's mother's like, they're not fair. Not red enough, but then she goes, well, let's change that.

And then caves her head in with a shovel. And then Ray's like, they're not fair enough. Not red enough, but then she goes, well, let's change that. And then caves her head in with a shovel. And then Rey's like, Debois. Debois. And then it got dark after that. But they did four more seasons. They did four more seasons somehow. Everybody loves Raymond except his mum who's dead. Yeah, exactly.

Debra killed her. It's an okay show, actually. Yeah, I don't mind it. It's pretty good. I like him. I like Ray Romano in things generally. Have you seen Men of a Certain Age? We've talked about that one. I don't think I have. It's a good show. Yeah. Yeah, I don't mind it. It's pretty good. I like him. I like Ray Romano in things generally.

No, I'm not. You're a Gilligan's Island fan? No. You're a Lever to Beaver fan? Look, can we just stop at Frasier? Frasier's probably my favourite from that year. More than Cheers? Yeah.

Yeah, probably. I haven't seen a lot of Cheers, to be fair. To be fair, Mason. Yes. What about That 70s Show? I like That 70s Show. You know, people say that we're now closer to The 70s Show. It's further away than we are to that than that was to The 70s or something. Huh.

What do you think of that? It really makes you think. Time and that. All that. Time and space. Sebastian says, I once bumped into Eric Banner. We talk about celebrities if they give off big celebrity energy. Oh, good question. Yep, yep, yep. This is related to that. Time and space. Sebastian says, I once bumped into Eric Banner. We talk about celebrities if they give off big celebrity energy. Oh, good question. Yep, yep, yep. This is related to that. I once bumped into Eric Banner as he visited Fashion Week in Berlin

wearing shorts, an oversized T-shirt, earbuds and sunglasses. His charisma literally turned my head. That sounds like something he would do. Makes sense. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, I'm not saying... I just want to know what it is. You weird idiot. No, I don't. I'm sure I don't have it. Like what is it, the it factor? Yeah, what's the it factor? That's what they're always looking for on The X Factor.

It's called The X Factor. It should be called The It Factor. It should be called the it factor. Maybe that's what the movie It was about. I don't know. I don't think it's, I think it's. Oh, Eric Banner has murderous clowning. That's why he's so successful. He murders all his rivals.

It wouldn't surprise me if he did do a clown school or something in the 90s. Well, Poitier's the ultimate Australian clown. Poitier's the ultimate Australian clown. That's so true. Yeah, I don't know. I don't think it's something that you can necessarily point to. Okay, then. You know who does know?

The guy who runs Saturday Night Live that everybody hates but also bows down to? Lorne Michaels. Yeah. Yeah, I guess so. He probably does or doesn't. More that he doesn't, if I'm honest with you. Sure.

Also wanted to ask if either of you watched Will Smith as a pigeon. I never got around to it. You didn't even show your kid? No. Okay, right. I'm not watching that. Even though I may have said that I was going to watch it. Thought you might have something interesting to say about it or at least somewhat entertaining.

I'll be starting university next week, and I'm very excited slash nervous to start my journey, especially with all the changes due to COVID. I'll be studying film studies and production. I'm very excited to gain more insight and knowledge into the world of film, more knowledge than you even, as if. Come on. Come on, mate. We wrote that subject.

We wrote the whole thing. We certainly did. At the end, surprise, they're going to be like, you're not getting it. We tricked you. This is from James and Mesa. We tricked you real good. Give us $45,000.

Anyways, I would appreciate it if you guys wished me luck and continue to pump out the great content that will help me going throughout my studies. Hustle lasagna, don't get any on you from Dean. We won't. Thank you, Dean, and good luck out there. We look forward to our $44,000. Yeah, we tricked you.

I work in a bakery. Wisconsin! Oh, yeah. That's a heavenly show. Yeah, thanks. I work in a bakery twice a week after, yeah. That's a heavenly show. Yeah, thanks. I work in a bakery twice a week. I have to come in at midnight to make all the bread and donuts for the day. And listening to the podcast, as well as James' less successful

but just as enjoyable podcast, Suggestible, helps to wake me up in the mornings I felt the need to email in when in last week's episode you talked about how some people only email in when they have accidents while listening. And I just wanted to say that since I listen in the dead of night in an empty store, nothing noteworthy has ever happened while listening. Wow. I love the podcast, so keep up the good work

and can I be the official Midnight Bakery babe of the podcast? Absolutely. It seems like you've locked that in, Mason. Yeah, I have. For yourself. What, free donuts? No, no, no, you're the bakery babe. Oh, thanks.

Yeah, no, oh, yeah, I'm kind of a bakery babe. You're in there, aren't you? Yeah. You'll pose with a pastry, won't you, in front of a funny sign? Oh my god, maybe in front of an award-winning vanilla slice. You better believe I will. It's never that good when they say award-winning. I feel like if it's good, there just is. And you hear about it, you know

what I mean? I'm going to tell you about one off-air, because I can't really remember where it was, but I had it a while back and it was some good stuff. I can't wait to hear about this story you vaguely remember. It was thick as your head, James, this vanilla slice. Thick as this fucking head? Yeah. That's not good. That's too much, obviously. Anyway, I'm going to say Brittany.

You've got that thing. You've got that thing you said. Terrific. And you're doing the Lord's work because I love a hot, fresh bread and donut. I'll tell you that much. I'll tell you that much. Anyway, that's all the emails. It is, is it?

I mean, there's more emails, but we could be here all day. Well, I don't want that. But Mason, we can wrap up the show though, can't we? Oh my God. Thank you everybody so much for listening. I hope everybody's doing all right out there. Let us know don't want that. But Mason, we can wrap up the show though, can't we? Oh my god, thank you everybody so much for listening. I hope everybody's doing alright out there. Let us know. Keep them busy. I hope everybody's keeping busy and keeping cool.

I know in England there's a heat wave happening. Oh no, is it bloody 14 degrees? Celsius or Fahrenheit? The joke still works. It doesn't matter. It's universal. It's still cold either way. It's still cold for us. It's cold for Americans. Fuck you, England. That's good stuff. I've, it's still cold for us. It's cold for Americans. Fuck you, England. That's good stuff.

I've got friends over there. Good luck. Yeah, it's good because English houses are not built for hot weather. They're certainly not. There's no air con and the insulation keeps the heat in. They're built for a jammy dodger and various other English biscuits and chocolates you name. Exactly.

That's right. Terry's Chocolate Orange. Yes, et cetera. But I hope everybody's doing all right. I hope everybody's doing great. Yeah. Yeah, and finding stuff to do if you're at home. Heatwave in England.

And being safe if you have to leave the house. It's September. I know. It's crazy. It's almost like something's going on with the, like there's been a change in climate. Like the global environment, the global ecosphere. Maybe, but I'm not going to say that. Let's not think

about it. Let's just not think about it, James. Yeah. But anyway, I hope everybody's doing all right if you're getting out there. Stay safe.

Mason. It always helps. I've just shown a big-time way, and you can do it Mason it always helps this one is from DJ Demstank says this podcast brackets almost ruined my life I've been listening to this podcast for nearly 7 years since I discovered it on YouTube I used to listen to it on my phone browser and I opened the page it would start playing automatically

that's insane what's going on there one day in class I put up my phone and my phone started playing. Red, hot, comic book, newbie news. Except it was so full. At full volume in my class auditorium. And as quickly as I tried to turn the volume down, it was too late.

I tried to play it off as if it was somebody else. But it was difficult to hide my show. It was you. You did it. Always give the show a listen. I give it five stars despite having a near life-ruining theme song. Thanks, boys. I've got to change that theme song, Mason.

Also, it can be as long as that or as short as Monkey C 2003. Just love these guys. All you need to know is that they crack wise about the five Transformers movies for us.

We're not afraid to poke fun at ourselves in a very limited way. You know what I mean, James? I'm very open to that idea. Yeah, but only don't. I'm very sensitive with my thick head. Ah, yeah.

Oh, yeah. It's true. Another thing. Brute Rackham. Oh, yeah. Thank you to the Brute and the Bass and the Skin Rackham for all the musical themes. We've got t-shirts on tpublic.com.

People are loving that Robat Battenbat T-shirt. That's an unofficial T-shirt. That's why we don't endorse it. We do endorse it. We should get one to Robert Battinson, Robert's Battenbat. But how? I reckon we send it to like his – he's got to have like a manager. Is he filming in England?

Yes. I reckon we could send it to the production company and they would give it to him. Okay. And then it would appear on social media and we'd be famous. Okay. Well, maybe not. Maybe Christopher Small who made the T-shirt.

Maybe he would be famous. Wouldn't we be famous though? We'd definitely be famous. Okay. Well, then as long as we're famous. That's true, yeah. Because we're ideas men. We certainly are.

Yeah. Well, it's only no ideas men. Got us. Anyway, so go on, go on, go on. That's the whole show, I think. Yeah. Next week, maybe this thing again or a different thing is out. Maybe a different thing.

We'll think of a different thing. I don't know. Maybe Mason and I will jump state lines to go and see Tenet. I'm not going to do that. I won't. I dare it. We've got Tom Cruise on board. He'll let us do it.

Oh, we can tunnel through, maybe? We can tunnel under the Ring of Steel or whatever they call it now. Is that what it's called? That's what they're calling it. Great. Okay. Yeah. Thanks, guys, for listening.

Grab that gem, you guys. We'll see you next week. And goodbye. Bye. This podcast is part of the Planet Broadcasting Network. Visit planetbroadcasting.com for more podcasts from our great mates. I mean, if you want. It's up to you.
