Starting point is 00:01:06 Double ad. Two ads. Love it. I love it too. Red hot comic book movie news. Shooting up your butthole. The Weekly Planet. The Weekly Planet.
Starting point is 00:01:20 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, it's good to be back. It's good to be back. It's not the first of the year because we did one for the wrap-up of last year, which was the end of the year.
Starting point is 00:01:37 But now... This is the first proper episode? No. There was some other stuff that was up there. Regardless, good to be back. Good to be back. Thank you for signing up for a big sandwich over the break. We got a bunch of new subscribers, which is cool, for bonus stuff.
Starting point is 00:01:49 Remember in Iron Man 2 when he lands on the stage and the suit comes off and he's got that cool tuxedo on? Yeah. It's just us, but the suits land and they open up and we just fall face first on the stage. I was going to say, also. We're all raggedy, like we've just washed up on a beach. And prior to that, he'd been vomiting also in the movie.
Starting point is 00:02:04 Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay, that's accurate. But we don't come out looking cool. Yeah. I'm wearing gumboots for some reason. It's just a mess. I've got a bird sticking out of my ear. It's not a comfortable flight over.
Starting point is 00:02:16 No, it's really not. 2020 was not a comfortable flight. No, it certainly isn't. But we're back stronger than ever, presumably. Presumably, yeah. Now, this is going to be a big episode because we've got a bunch of news that we've got to catch up on, and even just from the last week. And not only that, we're going to go through all the new releases of 2021.
Starting point is 00:02:31 Yeah. But we'll see, won't we? We sure will. We sure will. This is going to be the most optimistic episode ever. Exactly. Should we mark it down on our No Time to Die calendar? Oh, we're going to talk about that.
Starting point is 00:02:42 But if you do want to jump around to any of the news of the week, we're talking a bunch of delays. But not Dismays. Not Dismays, that's right. Godzilla vs. Kong got a trailer. Nolan, Christopher Nolan's in a bit of a strop, Mason. Oh, I didn't know that. There's Batman the Animated Series news.
Starting point is 00:02:56 There's a bunch of Star Wars stuff going on, which I know you love. I'm glad we're starting out 2021 with someone in a strop. Having a sook. Having a big sook. A bunch of Marvel casting and movie news, some Justice League stuff, and then straight into, not straight into, after all of those things, then we will do the thing that I said we'd do.
Starting point is 00:03:14 But, yeah, time cones in the description, as always. But, Mason, you did mention it, delays, but not dismays, because, like, as I've written here in my notes, what better way to start off 2021 than with just a whole lot of more delays, just more, you know what I mean? More and more. Yeah. More and bigger.
Starting point is 00:03:30 More and bigger, that's right. Longer, longer delays. That's right. If anything, I would prefer if they were just like, yeah, everything's 2022 actually. Just don't even think about it for the next year because it's not coming out. No, unless it's HBO Max, which is coming out. Oh.
Starting point is 00:03:44 But one of the first ones of many. We've got Ghostbusters, Answer the Call or Afterlife 3 or 4 or 1. Wait. The game was counted, didn't it? No, does it? Yeah, that's like the unofficial or even official third one. Three, okay, right, right, right. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:01 So then this is five then. Yeah, cool. Yeah, unless you count the real Ghostbusters. I do not. What about the other Ghostbusters? The just Ghostbusters. Yes. The one with the gorilla we talked about in a video relatively recently.
Starting point is 00:04:15 Yes. But then also we recorded 100 years ago maybe. Look, we're a bit rusty. I've been to the beach. It's really late. We're obviously a day late if you're recording this because I just got back. But anyway, so that's moving from June to November.
Starting point is 00:04:28 Morbius, I know you were excited for that. You were like, March can't come quick enough for the Michael Morbius movie. As soon as you reminded me that it was coming out in March, I'm like, March can't come soon enough. And already my hopes have been dashed against the rocks. That's going to October. Uncharted is jumping.
Starting point is 00:04:45 The Morbius suit has opened and Jared Leto has just tumbled out and flat on his face. That's right. He's still dressed as Jesus, though, obviously, because that's the thing that he does. Because he's in a weird cult or whatever he's up to, whatever he's doing. Bad stuff, probably.
Starting point is 00:04:58 Probably bad stuff. Would you rather live in this age where we always learn bad stuff about people or would you rather live in an age where we're just like, these Hollywood stars are amazing, we love them? Nah, I hate that. I like the bad stuff. I like to know they're just like me, a bad bloke. In a cult, sure.
Starting point is 00:05:14 In a cult, yeah. Or leading a cult. Leading a cult, whatever, yeah, yeah. So Uncharted is moving from July to February of next year. February? February. Long time, yes. Long time, yes. Long time, yep.
Starting point is 00:05:26 Bob's Burgers has been pulled entirely. That was in April, but now it's not in April or ever. Wait, was there going to be a movie? A Bob's Burgers movie. Really? I've just kind of started it. That's a good show. Animated?
Starting point is 00:05:37 Yes. You'd think that would be one that they could keep. No, no one wants that. What do you mean? No, I mean, you'd think that'd be the one that could stay on schedule. Oh, I mean, I think Disney own it, don't they? Because it's Fox. Okay.
Starting point is 00:05:50 I think. I have no idea. Or it's on Hulu. We're rusty. Guys, we're rusty. It's our first day. Also, Disney also owns Hulu. But anyway, yeah, you could put that on streaming easily.
Starting point is 00:05:59 Kingsman has been moved from March to August. That's not a very big, that'll probably move again. And also, as is tradition. We know your tricks, movie studios. Now, we know that if, oh, we're just going to move it from March to April. You've cancelled it. We know. We get it.
Starting point is 00:06:14 And look, if everyone could just back up because we're going to need some breathing room so we could have just a fraction of a second more so that we can all die. Mark it on the calendar, folks. Mark it on the calendar. So James Bond has been moved yet again from April to October, and Jimmy Fallon did the joke. Did you see people sent it in? He invented that joke.
Starting point is 00:06:34 Do you think that's a coincidence? Yeah. It's probably a coincidence. They have a writer's room. Who steal our jokes, presumably. Yeah, but you'd think you'd steal more than that. Or maybe that's the only good joke we've ever had or worth stealing. Maybe they've stolen a bunch of our jokes.
Starting point is 00:06:46 Maybe they have, yeah. Maybe it's because this is the first time we've flagged something we've done as a joke. Yeah, that's right. And the writers finally caught on. They're like, oh, they've been doing jokes the whole time. We thought they were idiots and we thought if we just did what they said, we'd be making fun of idiots to idiots. But I think they're – I mean, they are idiots,
Starting point is 00:07:04 but I think they were joking the whole time. So, yeah, so look, we've got the 16-month calendar which you brought as an end-of-year gift, right? To you and all the listeners. That's right. And you. It was a self-gift also. It was a self-gift, that's true, yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:17 In many ways. And I take it home every week with me. That's right. I bring it in in a briefcase. This is for everyone. Handcuffed to my wrist and then I take it back later. But it has its own podcasting chair. That's right.
Starting point is 00:07:31 What do you think are the chances of this movie moving outside of that calendar release date? And we're going to be getting a Bond 2022 16-month calendar. Well, this ends in December, right? Yes. So it was the four months prior i would not be entirely shocked if it's like january 2022 i just want another calendar right i want more imagery from the movie i also would not be in the least bit surprised if all the images from next year's
Starting point is 00:07:59 calendar are just a different frame like it's the same photo each time but a different frame because they're just stills from the movie. What is with calendar stores? They'll often be like in a shopping centre or a mall for our American listeners and it's just like a huge stand that's mostly calendars. And I'm like, is this sustainable? Like is it a year-round thing? What is this?
Starting point is 00:08:23 Yeah, you know, I was actually coming in here, and there was a guy who owned a calendar shop. He was outside your house, and he was looking at the setup to this, and he's like, is this sustainable podcasting as a genre, as a medium? I just mean, like, specifically calendars. Do you want to sell, like, posters? Oh, I see. Maybe some One Direction art.
Starting point is 00:08:41 Maybe they make bank, though. Maybe it's like people come into that mall and they're like, it's the day before Christmas. I've got nothing. What do people like? Oh, they like Hydrangeas. Yeah, to be fair, for Christmas I actually ended up buying two calendars for two different people.
Starting point is 00:08:55 So, yeah, one was a Mario calendar for my son because he loves Mario and one was the calendar Kilty Pleasures, which was an erotic Scottish calendar that went in my family, Chris Kindle. Just drop in a hand grenade and just like. And who got it eventually? Who ended up eventually? Actually, I think nobody took it, so I think it's in my house somewhere. Wow, okay, sure.
Starting point is 00:09:14 So Claire got it in a way. That's right. Oh, that reminds me. I got a message from your brother. I think I say from my wife. What's going on? No, your brother, the one that I don't like. It's just a YouTube link, and I'm going to click it now. I don't like, it's just a YouTube link
Starting point is 00:09:25 and I'm going to click it now. I don't know what it is. I think I know what this is. Did you just get it? Earlier. Like an hour or so ago? Harry Potter with guns. Yeah, Harry Potter with guns, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:34 We know. We know James, his brother, I don't like. We know, but thank you if you're listening. Another thing we invented probably. That's right. I don't think we did. Anyway, also it looks like Black Widow is probably going to be delayed from May. And if it gets delayed again, they reckon, this is from Variety,
Starting point is 00:09:52 it'll probably just go to streaming because everything's moving. We're going to talk about WandaVision, aren't we? We're going to do that in what we're reading. So do not worry. That is coming up. But, yeah, that wouldn't surprise me because if the MCU was moving forward, because we've got WandaVision at the moment, Falcon and Winter Soldier in March, that is coming up. But, yeah, that wouldn't surprise me because if the MCU was moving forward, because we've got WandaVision at the moment,
Starting point is 00:10:08 Falcon and Winter Soldier in March, they'd have to get Black Widow out presumably before the next thing. The next run of things. Whatever that is. Because then you've got to delay Shang-Chi and then you've got to delay Eternals again and then everything and so on and so forth. But you know what's not being delayed? In fact, it got moved up in March.
Starting point is 00:10:26 That's Godzilla versus King Kongery. They're doing it. Finally. That's the tagline? Two great mates. That's right. They're making a go of it. They used to be fast friends.
Starting point is 00:10:44 Like the Fast and Furious boys. I don't think that's true. I don't think that's true at all. They have history, right? Yes. At least they do in this movie universe, it seems, because Kong is a younger, what are they called again? Kong.
Starting point is 00:10:55 No, they've got like a name. Gorillong. No, the creatures of the, like the monsters. Oh, kaiju? No, something else. Oh, they're called Big Ol' Bashy Boys. Big Ol' Bashy Boys. And girls.
Starting point is 00:11:09 And girls, obviously. I actually did a Kong versus Godzilla trailer breakdown just by myself, Mason, which will be going up soon. But I forgot to do the joke where I suggest that Godzilla could maybe be a girl because people fucking lose it. And I wish I might even just go back and edit it in. Yeah. I love it.
Starting point is 00:11:27 Just people like, yeah, well, I can't pick because he's always calm down. It can't be because I've imagined myself as Godzilla and I am a man. And therefore, if I did that, it would be weird.
Starting point is 00:11:37 How does it, how does it affect the universe? Really? Not at all. Because even if like Godzilla, like they could just go one movie, just be like Godzilla laid eggs anyway. Like it doesn't really matter at all. Because even if Godzilla, they could just go one movie, just be like Godzilla laid eggs anyway. It doesn't really matter at all.
Starting point is 00:11:49 But anyway. But I've never laid eggs. At all? But anyway, two big bashy boys or girls having a go at it. What do you think? Well, I mean, we've been fooled before and we won't get fooled again. We will. But it looks good.
Starting point is 00:12:04 It looks. No, I agree. It does look good. This might. four and we won't get fooled again we will but but it looks good it looks oh yeah no i agree it doesn't good this might and maybe it is just two very recognized recognizable movie monsters punching each other but i it looks to me it looks the best yeah and there's some great albeit kind of cliched like action beats in the trailer but when you when it's not captain america leaping away from a giant laser blue laser sky sky beam, it's in fact a giant gorilla. Through an aircraft carrier. It's pretty good. It reminded me of that scene in Die Hard 3 where Samuel L. Jackson and Bruce Willis jump
Starting point is 00:12:35 off the ship as it explodes. I'm like, that's fun. I mean, it's obviously not a nod to that, but I liked it. Just like an action beat from a giant gorilla, you know what I mean? It's good. I love it. And he has an axe. No, no, on the whiteboard there's just like, make sure there's a bit
Starting point is 00:12:48 that's like Die Hard 3. Could be any of it. We want these big bashy boys back with a vengeance. Put them in a taxi. Just solving riddles around New York. Whatever. What does that sign that King Kong is wearing say? Oh no! No. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:13:03 No, King Kong. What are you doing? But it looks pretty good. This trailer also reminded me that there are boring human characters in this universe. Thank goodness. I'm going to have to trudge through them. That's what I was going to say. We have been fooled in that, I mean, you know,
Starting point is 00:13:15 maybe we will get more than 20 minutes of monster action in this. Well, the last one was very monster action heavy, but I was the one I liked the least. It was Godzilla 2014, which I quite liked, but it was criticised for lack of monster stuff. Yeah. But the monster stuff in that was good. Yeah, and they were more iconic, recognisable monsters
Starting point is 00:13:34 as opposed to whatever. And the Muto was new, but yeah. Yeah, whatever the spindly creature. There was the Muto in the first one. That's what I'm saying. I'm saying it was the action of King of the Monsters. Like what it had in its favour was recognisable monsters as opposed to the spindly monsters.
Starting point is 00:13:50 Oh, okay, yeah, fair enough. But I didn't think that did it many favours. But I really liked Kong Skull Island and that weird island. It was like Jurassic Park but just with like anything could be a horrible creature. Well, then you're getting a bit more of it. Exactly, yeah. A little bit more. A little bit more.
Starting point is 00:14:03 It's a shame that they can't use that cast also because it's in the 70s or whatever. They've aged out. Do you think we'll get a Hiddleston or a Brie Larson cameo? I would love that to be the case, but I don't really know, to be honest. They'll rock up with their shotguns and their cool hats and they'll be like, who are you bunch of boring idiots here? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:19 We're scientists. We're in a situation room. That's right. I hate all that stuff. I don't want any of it. There's going to be a lot. Yeah, I know. But what I do, well, it's a couple of things to note.
Starting point is 00:14:30 Okay. It looks like there could be a mecha Godzilla in this. There's some hints to watch that. Yes. I was going to say we'll talk about it. We'll talk about it now. I agree. Well, I was going to lead into it.
Starting point is 00:14:40 Kong obviously is a lot bigger. Yes. Because he was a little wee baby in Kong Skull Island. He's a tiny little boy. So he's obviously much bigger now. I think Godzilla is smaller in this. Like they've made him smaller or like he's shrunk or shit? No, I don't.
Starting point is 00:14:54 Well, that's the thing. Because in one of the previous ones, I think there's a moment where like one of Godzilla's feet is like as big as a jumbo jet. Yeah, I think you're right. But in this, they're both standing toe-to-toe on an aircraft carrier. Maybe it's a special Monarch one and whatever and it's special. And it's especially bigger. It's like this is in case many monsters want to fight here. Yeah, maybe.
Starting point is 00:15:15 But I think there's fighter jets on it. Yeah, I think you're right. Maybe they're passenger planes. But here's my theory. I've got two theories. One is more cockamamie than the other theory. Love theories. So the normal theory is they've just fudged how big he is
Starting point is 00:15:25 because it's a movie and it doesn't matter. And in the tradition of these kind of movies, they're technically men in suits, so just have them be about the same size and hit each other. Again, and I have said this before, I would like there to be one frame in this where it's just two dudes in rubber suits in a cardboard city running at each other.
Starting point is 00:15:41 And it's got to be one frame because odds are then if you've gone in a group, some of you are looking at the screen and some of you aren't. And so you'd be like, is that guy? Are they just two guys in a suit? And then your friends would be like, no, it wasn't. I don't think so. No, it wasn't.
Starting point is 00:15:54 And then any subsequent releases, whether it be at home or a Blu-ray, just take it out. Just take it out. Don't put it in. Deny it. Yeah. Perfect. Perfect.
Starting point is 00:16:05 I was going to say, so that's my first theory. They've just gone, let's make him. Because, again, if he were the size he was in the previous movies and he's still way bigger than Godzilla, people would be like, well, this is going to be a short fight, isn't it? But here's my cockamamie theory. I'm ready. I'm just going to be small.
Starting point is 00:16:19 I'm Googling it. Please do. To the best of my knowledge, previous godzilla continuity there's always been at least two godzillas yeah okay and i'm not the boy one and the girl one yeah exactly the blue one and the pink one obviously yeah but in like i'm not talking mecha godzillas or you know godzilla juniors or space godzillas or whatever like the the version from the 50s yeah he died and then when they restarted the movies in the 80s, it was the same continuity but it was a new Godzilla.
Starting point is 00:16:48 Yes, yes. There's a new Japanese version, like the reboot, the one that started in 2016. Yeah. Shin Godzilla and then the animated movies on Netflix. Are they connected, are they? Yeah, connected. They're in the same continuity except the animated ones
Starting point is 00:16:58 are like hundreds of years in the future. Okay. Spoiler alert, there's at least two Godzillas in those. And the American animated version, there was a bunch of Godzillas and then original Godzilla died and in the cartoon, which is in the same universe, there's a baby Godzilla that became a regular Godzilla and they got the corpse of the original Godzilla and they turned it into Cyber Godzilla.
Starting point is 00:17:19 Oh, yeah. So my theory is, because a lot of people have been like, well, this Godzilla's smaller because he's Mechagodzilla. But I don't think he is because nobody in this universe has the capability to make a Mechagodzilla that looks like regular Godzilla. No, exactly, yeah. And who are they fooling?
Starting point is 00:17:35 Yeah, and why? And why, exactly, right? But my theory is, my cockamamie theory, probably will not be true, is that at the end of Godzilla King of the Monsters, remember he nearly died, Godzilla, and then he got supercharged. I'm saying after the end of that, he died. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:52 And then somebody, maybe Monarch, takes his body, ships it off somewhere, and Mechagodzilla rises it. Ah. And it's sending out some, maybe they're sending out some sort of signal, which is why the new Godzilla, which is like a young Godzilla, is going crazy. That makes so much sense. Right?
Starting point is 00:18:09 It's a good theory. Because also, if in this movie Godzilla and Kong fought the whole movie and at the end they're like, actually one of them was Mechagodzilla, people would be mad. Yeah. Because they'd be like, they're not fighting, it's not the true measure of who's the winner kind of thing. That's true.
Starting point is 00:18:24 So what I reckon is that the Mechagodzilla that we see is the original Godzilla and they've like armor plated him. Because that's the only way they could do it in this movie, right? Absolutely. They've, I was going to say, they've reverse terminated him. They've reverse terminated him. They've Robocopped him. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:18:39 That's a much. They've Robocopped Godzilla. That makes more sense than the thing that I said. Okay, that makes a lot of sense. It's the first one and he's that makes a lot of sense it's the first one and it's just like a whatever just a whatever yeah it's fine and they just built it i mean there's i mean the simpler option is of course they've just they've tipped over into like crazy territory and they're just like yeah we built a giant robot dinosaur for some reason
Starting point is 00:18:58 yeah we can do it now and we did so people have also pointed out that like there's a that there's a scene in that situation where they're like, we're charging the whatevers, and people are like, it's Mechagodzilla. I reckon, again, maybe it is, and then at the end, Mechagodzilla will go crazy. They're like, we built this to stop all the kaiju monsters or whatever, and then it goes crazy because man is the real monster, and then Godzilla and King Kong team up and beat it up.
Starting point is 00:19:22 That's a great theory. And then it's bigger than them, so then it's a fair fight. From my trailer breakdown, I might add this thing that I was talking about. I will not credit you. No, it's good. It's great. No, no, I will.
Starting point is 00:19:31 But Matt's working on the moment. But Godzilla is looking for something and going insane around the world. And there's a map of you see he's attacking monarch sites. So yeah, he's obviously looking for something. And I was like, oh, he's probably looking for Mechagodzilla because he sent, but then I'm like, no, that doesn't really make much sense. Because maybe they're trying to lure him so they can have another Godzilla
Starting point is 00:19:51 and they can have two Godzillas. Double Trouble? And then they can get those two Godzillas and fight all the other Godzillas. Triple Trouble? Triple Trouble, exactly. They're activating the Triple Trouble protocol. So that would also mean that then they're getting Kong to stop him from doing that. Kong also builds an axe from Godzilla's plate.
Starting point is 00:20:09 Oh, yeah, that's right, yeah. Which is cool. So he can use nuclear, he has a nuclear axe. Yeah. That's good, I like that. That's very cool. Yeah, this looks, look, as someone who was like very not fussed with the last one, I'm excited for this.
Starting point is 00:20:21 So, yeah, great theory, Mason. Thank you. And I bet you're right. Where did you read it? Where did you read it? Where did you read it? I didn't read it. I came up with my own brain. You've never came up with anything.
Starting point is 00:20:30 First 2021, baby. No, that's great. That's my motto. Think of things with your own brain. Wow, really? That's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'd love to think of things with my own brain.
Starting point is 00:20:38 You can. No, she's not too. I'm doing the Pedro Pascal. I'm doing the motion. You can. You think you can't think. I'm doing the motion. You can. You think you can't think of things with your own brain. You think of things. But you can.
Starting point is 00:20:52 The other bit of. That movie's not good, but that will stay in my brain forever. James, the things you think with your brain are bad, but they can be better. There we go. There we go. Still not good, but better but they can be better. There we go. Yeah. There we go. So speaking of- Still not good, but better.
Starting point is 00:21:07 But better, slightly, somewhat better. Yeah. Warner Brothers stuff, though, there was some Mortal Kombat images. Yes. Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun. I would say it may be a mixed bag for me in terms of- I liked it. It's Mortal Kombat.
Starting point is 00:21:17 There's also a new character that they're like, there's a new, there's an MMA fighter. It's like, okay, calm down, Joe Rogan, with your MMA fucking- Oh, so this isn't a, this isn't, I mean, it probably will be an MMA actor, but it's an MMA. No, I don't think it is. Okay, so it's a character with MMA skills. Okay, they're dead.
Starting point is 00:21:33 Yeah. They're going to die. Fireball, though. Maybe they've got a fireball. I don't know if they do. Everybody's got a fireball, though. I feel like, I mean, you've just told me about this now, but it seems very much like the character that's introduced to be like,
Starting point is 00:21:46 this is the toughest fighter in the world, and then Sub-Zero turns his head to ice and kicks it off. So we know that even if you're the top MMA guy, you can't win in Mortal Kombat. I'd way prefer that than like, this character is you, because he also doesn't understand Mortal Kombat. It's the people who don't know what Mortal Kombat is. I don't want that.
Starting point is 00:22:04 So yeah, I want that thing that you said. Oh, my God. This guy's got Scorpion in a leg lock. What's he going to do? I mean, he can shoot spears out of his hands and his head's literally a fire-breathing skull. I think he can do like a teleport off screen. I mean, but he can't get out of this leg lock.
Starting point is 00:22:19 He's got to tap out. He's got to tap out, Scorpion. It's safe. It's safer for you if you do that. Anyway. Mortal Kombat's been won by this guy out, Scorpion. It's safe. It's safer for you if you do that. Anyway. What will come? It's been won by this guy because of all the supplements he's on. What else have we got?
Starting point is 00:22:32 So the Wall Street Journal have also reported. Oh, Jax has got cool looking arms. Yeah. The best arms I've seen in live action. I agree. Certainly, yeah. Best arms ever? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:39 Across all arms. I think so. Name a better set of arms. I can't, Mason. That's right. Yeah. Because I've railroaded you. Yeah, you certainly have. I've made you think of the Jax arms. I think so. Name a better set of arms. A cart mason. That's right. Because I've railroaded you. Yeah, you certainly have. I've made you think of the
Starting point is 00:22:48 Jack's arms. And I can't think of another thing. Remember, we established that. I can't think of my own thing. So, of course, I'm not going to get... And as you pointed out off-air, he's got the Steve Harvey mustache. Have you seen the memes? There's been a bunch of memes. I haven't seen any memes, no.
Starting point is 00:23:03 The other thing is... This week has all just been Bernie Sanders memes. It hasn't adjusted. Did you see? I don't think we've mentioned him before, but you know Ryan George, who does the Screen Rant? He did a video about memes back in the day and now. And the first meme is just like, oh, I see this Harlem Shake video.
Starting point is 00:23:20 Can we slot in some time? Maybe next week we'll do a Harlem Shake video kind of thing. This will be fun. And then it's like 2021. It like bernie sanders warm mittens i'm photoshopping him out now what are we gonna do what it's you know how do we do this oh my god they've already done a ghost one it's been animated you know yeah like it's already in the tonight show just forget it yeah exactly yeah that's that's essentially it exactly yeah which is why we can't do no time we can't do can't do it anymore, yeah. No, I'm still going to do it. Fuck Fallon and everybody who works for him.
Starting point is 00:23:49 Whoa. Yeah, that's right. Whoa. He seems nice. I don't care. I don't watch it. I'm sure he's nice. James is throwing his DVD of Taxi in the bin.
Starting point is 00:23:58 He doesn't care who he offends anymore. The Wall Street Journal are reporting that Nolan is unlikely to continue at Warner Brothers after the fiasco. The absolute diatribe that he went on about how it's not cinema or something to put things on streaming, which was not unjustified. So it seems like that
Starting point is 00:24:17 the trust between the two legendary filmmakers in a way, Mason, has been shaken. Because he owns legendary pictures or something? He's a legendary filmmaker. Oh, okay. And they make legendary films. So they're both technically legendary filmmakers, I guess.
Starting point is 00:24:31 And there's also legendary films, which is another thing. Yeah. So I think he's just like, well, I'm going to go to Sony or whatever. That's right. Or maybe make his own stuff. I don't know what he's doing. So does that surprise you? Christopher Nolan, lover of cinema and good times? No.
Starting point is 00:24:45 What do you think is a good time for Christopher Nolan? Maybe drinking water from a paper cup? Maybe. My first thought was something involving wicker. Like he's in a wicker chair. It's not a rocking chair. It doesn't move. It's a creaky wicker chair. It's a little bit creaky.
Starting point is 00:25:01 Maybe he's at a window and he's contemplating looking out the window. He hasn't yet. Because it's all about like, can you imagine the potential of looking out the window? Looking out the window. What might he see out that window? Yeah, exactly. Wow, that guy's good.
Starting point is 00:25:16 That's right. At this thing that you invented. Yeah. Yeah, so there you go. Not surprising. Mark Bernardin, though, has reported in the Fat Man Beyond podcast. Are you familiar with this? Kevin Smith's podcast?
Starting point is 00:25:26 Yes. One of the many that he does. It was Fat Man or Batman and then it shifted to this. So the rumor is that- Did he get sued? No, I think because he lost a bunch of weight and like, I don't know. But he just changed it. But it's still Fat Man Beyond.
Starting point is 00:25:36 Yes. Oh, because he's beyond being fat. Exactly. I get it now. Okay, right. So the rumor is that HBO Max is looking at making a Batman the Animated Series sequel and they want to continue that forward. Now my question to this, first of all, of course,
Starting point is 00:25:49 why would you not do this? Yes. But would that mean a sequel in addition to the new adventures of Batman, Superman the Animated Series, Justice League Unlimited and Batman Beyond, which are the official sequels? And there's also more movies and whatever that spin off from this. So I guess something in addition. Do you think they're going to take it back to like the original,
Starting point is 00:26:07 original Arshune? Yeah, I think so, yeah. I reckon, you know, I reckon probably as original as possible to the character models. The widescreen. Yes. It's probably just going to be like additional adventures of Batman in that time period, in that universe.
Starting point is 00:26:24 Yeah, yeah. Like they'll probably original Batman, original Robin. Yep. Original Alfred. What are they up to? Yeah. Just regular Batman stuff. Stuff that they do.
Starting point is 00:26:32 Yeah. And don't do. Because they obviously, some things they don't do. You know what I mean? Name a thing that they don't do. Eat corn. Wow. Have you seen it?
Starting point is 00:26:42 I mean, no. If someone can find it from the series I will retract that statement Okay But yeah I want a can of corn with a spoon You know I'll take a corn on the cob Any corn is fine
Starting point is 00:26:54 No popcorn No I don't know man No no no it doesn't count Alright fine Batman's eating popcorn I'm sure there's a meme of it Are you looking Are you giggling Batman corn?
Starting point is 00:27:03 Yep Alright nothing yet Yet This is what they could do in the new series corn. I'm sure there's a meme of it. Are you looking at me googling Batman corn? Yep. Alright, nothing yet. Yet. This is what they could do in the new series though, couldn't they? I guess they could. Because they could cover some of the things that they don't do. It's really late. It's so late here, just so everybody knows. I'm not firing on all cylinders.
Starting point is 00:27:20 Obviously. I think that's very evident. I think you've never fired on more cylinders. I think this late hour has unlocked all the remaining cylinders. You know how people say you only operate on 10% of your brain cylinders? Well, I think you've opened up all the cylinders. Well, if this is all the cylinders, then this is very disappointing in terms of my potential. So Star Wars Newsmason, because, you know,
Starting point is 00:27:43 we're doing all the hits, aren't we? So far I've found Batman the Animated Series Prawn Cocktail Crispy Corn Snacks. That's from the Irish corn chip brand Tato. That looks awful. Awful looks awful. You're absolutely right. But it does have Batman. He's leaping through the air.
Starting point is 00:27:58 And obviously Batman would eat a prawn cocktail. He would love a prawn cocktail, yeah. In his guises, Bruce Wayne, fancy socialite. Yes. But, look, thus far you've got me beat, James. Don't worry. If it's there, someone will send it in. Someone will find that frame.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Don't even worry about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't feel designed. God, he's the joker eating popcorn too. As I said it though, didn't I? I knew this would happen. Yeah. Oh, my God, there's so many.
Starting point is 00:28:20 There's clearly multiple different episodes and continuities where he's like, hmm, time for some popcorn. Yeah. James, you son of a bitch. All right. Thank you. So Star Wars Newsmason, as mentioned, yeah, we're doing all the hits, all the big stuff, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:28:32 The favourites. First of all, K2SO is not in season one of Cassian Andor or whatever. The lovable droid? The robot. Well, they didn't meet, right? No. And also there's a comic about it, but I just reckon they'll either recreate that in live action
Starting point is 00:28:45 or just retcon it. And also, you probably heard this, but Lucasfilm Games. So they've reformed LucasArts in a way or whatever. I think LucasArts was also once Lucasfilm Games. Is that right? Yeah, it used to be. It was initially Lucasfilm Games, and then they were like,
Starting point is 00:29:02 and then it's called LucasArts for some reason. Fair enough. So what they're doing is a couple of things. First of all, Indiana Jones is getting a new game with Bethesda and Machine Games. They are the Wolfenstein creators. Yeah, right. We don't know whether it's Xbox exclusive because Bethesda,
Starting point is 00:29:17 of course, they're owned by Microsoft. Sorry, yes, that's correct, that thing you said. I hope it isn't because then I have to think about buying an Xbox and I don't want to think about that. And then further to that, you have to, yes, that's correct, that thing you said. I hope it isn't because then I have to think about buying an Xbox and I don't want to think about that. And then further to that you have to, again, remember which Xbox is the new Xbox and which is the old one and otherwise you're going to get tricked. Did you see that really funny game developer who's always swearing
Starting point is 00:29:36 and making fun of everything? Cliff Blazinski? No, not him. John Romero? No, it's the guy who did that game where you're too... Another guy from the 90s? No, you're too like ex-conons, and it's a two-player experience. I played it with my brother.
Starting point is 00:29:50 Oh, it's called A Way Out. Yes, I think that's right. It's by, his name is Joseph Fares. Anyway, he was talking about, like, the Xbox Series X, and he's just like, I don't get it. It's like there's an S and an X. What are they doing? It's stupid.
Starting point is 00:30:07 It is stupid. It is stupid. He's right. But the other thing is Ubisoft is making a Star Wars open world game, which is great, I guess, because, you know, they make those, don't they? They make Assassin's Creed games. They do.
Starting point is 00:30:23 But I think the team behind this did The Division and some other stuff that people like. So I hope it's ongoing forever, you know, one of those ones. I don't. No, I want like a third-person shooter, but Star Wars. I think, though, this is good news in general because what this does mean is that EA is losing its grip on the franchise. Yeah, it's not exclusive anymore.
Starting point is 00:30:43 Which means we can get more than one Star Wars game every 107 years. That's right. And then maybe it's not a good one. Yeah, and it's not just a loot box online shooter or whatever. Though, like, Fallen Order is great, and apparently they're still working on that. So they're going to do some games still. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:00 There's rumours of another Battlefront field, whatever it's called, whatever the fuck it is. James firing all those cylinders, all those brain cylinders. I don't know. People are like they fixed number two and it's heaps better now and whatever, but great, I guess. They rolled number two in glitter. Am I right, James?
Starting point is 00:31:16 They certainly did. No, apparently it is good. And then KOTOR, there's rumors of bringing that back as well. Wouldn't that be the open world? Yeah, I don't know. Okay. I don't know, Okay. I don't know. But these are all rumors.
Starting point is 00:31:26 I mean, I think it's good because in the 90s there was like four Star Wars games a year. That's true, yeah. And sometimes you'd get Yoda stories, but sometimes you'd get Jedi Knight 2, Dark Forces or whatever, which is a great game that I love forever. And I'm trying to work out how to make a video on it. But every time you do, it just comes out as Yoda stories. I don't know how I do it. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:31:48 Anyway, I'm just hoping for a new Zach McCracken and the Alien Mindbenders. You finished that one? Yeah. Is that a pre, like, day of the tentacle point and click situation? Yeah, it's like pre-Monkey Island. Yeah, one of those ones. It's like, what have you even been before Maniac Mansion?
Starting point is 00:32:01 Is that even legal? I don't think so, no. Was the Maniac Mansion, you had to type it in, like pick up book? No, Maniac Mansion was like you had a set of verbs at the bottom of the screen. You had to click like pick up. Okay. Right, and then they made it like a smart cursor. So like if you clicked a thing, it would be like you probably want to pick it up.
Starting point is 00:32:23 So we'll just pick it up for you. That makes sense. Anyway, I want it to be a live service want to pick it up, so we'll just pick it up for you. That makes sense. Anyway, I want it to be a live service forever. So I'm cracking the antinomian vendors. Please, if you could. Keep adding stuff to that Bermuda Triangle level, you know what I mean, James? I don't know what you mean. You could go to the Bermuda Triangle.
Starting point is 00:32:36 It's illegal, Mason. I wouldn't have touched it. It's illegal, as I mentioned. You're not allowed to make it. They should have made it. It's an abomination. There were aliens in the Bermuda Triangle, and they can give you the lotto numbers.
Starting point is 00:32:46 Oh, really? Yeah. Does that happen in the game? Yeah. Cool. That's pretty cool. I wasn't talking about real life. No, I didn't think you were, but I meant like in the game because I thought like at the
Starting point is 00:32:56 end it's like, is that how it ends? Like he just gets the lotto numbers? Oh, no. He just plays a lotto to win stuff, to win money. Terrific. I love it. I love it. No illegal.
Starting point is 00:33:05 So Warner Brothers, and this is something, isn't it? They're working on a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory prequel simply called Wonka. Chockeys. No. Oh. Wonka. In the style of Joker, presumably.
Starting point is 00:33:20 Absolutely, yeah. It rhymes. Like, does it? I don't know. Collider says that Tom Holland or Timothee Chalamet. Yeah, if you call that movie Jonker. If, does it? I don't know. Kaleidos says that Tom Holland or Timothy Charlemagne. Yeah, if you call that movie Jonker. If you call it Todd Phillips' Jonker. Joker, Wonka, they do not rhyme.
Starting point is 00:33:33 You wouldn't watch Jonker? I'd absolutely watch Jonker and I'd expect to go to the gift shop afterwards and get the game of Jonker, which is, you know, that tower building game. It's Australian Jenga. It's called Jonker. We're talking about it. You have to pull out a block and then spin a yarn. That's right.
Starting point is 00:33:48 If you don't spin an entertaining yarn, they just push it over and you lose. That's right. Here's the thing, though. It's directed by Paul King. Okay, I don't know who that is. He did Darkplace. It's Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. Oh!
Starting point is 00:34:00 Yeah. Episodes also of that and The Mighty Boosh, and he did both Paddington movies. So maybe. But I don't know. Here's the thing, though, and I want to stay positive. Me too. And I would like to learn how he got his weird devil powers, presumably.
Starting point is 00:34:15 Yeah. But is it a case of, well, he's done this stuff that we really like, and now he's a Hollywood known. Like Paddington, the Paddington movie is very successful, I think. Did you say he's a Hollywood known? He's a Hollywood known. Like the padding in the movie is very successful, I think. Did you say he's a Hollywood gnome? He's a Hollywood gnome. That's exactly right. They all fit right in.
Starting point is 00:34:30 They have all the magic, don't they? No, he's a Hollywood known. He's known in Hollywood. I did know you said that. So I think maybe this is the one where he's just like, yeah, I'm just doing this for a paycheck kind of thing. Exactly. Let me just check that out.
Starting point is 00:34:43 Or it's just like, yeah, we just need you to bring a little bit of your magic. And by that, I mean have a chat to the actors before they start filming. But otherwise, we're controlling all of this. And it's just going to be about a man who had a dream. I would love a man who had a dream. And about a dream he wanted to give chocolate to all the children. But also make a lot of money and have slaves.
Starting point is 00:34:59 Weird slaves and weird. Weird songs and weird punishments. Weird songs, horror universe. You know, this whole time I've been picturing Johnny Depp wonka. Yeah, right. And not Gene Wilder wonka. Not the good one. Not the good one.
Starting point is 00:35:12 Yeah. That is a good movie. Yeah, yeah. Any casting? I mean, Tom Holland, obviously. Yeah, and Charlemagne. Timothy Charlemagne because he's got the hair. They've both got the hair.
Starting point is 00:35:23 Yeah, yeah. And they both could probably do a forward role. The only two actors in Hollywood. Which is what you need to do, exactly. That's right, because since Gene Wilder died, it was the three of them. Battling it out for all those roles, that's right. That's it. Oh, you know what?
Starting point is 00:35:38 You bring Timothy Chalamet, Tom Holland, see no evil, hear no evil reboot. Very good. All right. Who do you put in blackface, though? Both of them. Okay. We get them cancelled, and then two other actors can get some roles in Hollywood.
Starting point is 00:35:51 I love it. We trick them. I love it. Yeah. Do you think if they did Hear No Evil, See No Evil again, or whatever that movie's called, would they get an actual blind actor, an actual deaf actor, do you think? They probably would, you'd think.
Starting point is 00:36:04 I would hope so. But there's something also about the chemistry between those two, which would be very difficult to replicate whoever you get. Yeah, I guess that's true. So I guess why not? I guess you'd have to get an existing, like, really great comedic pair and then blind one and deaf in the other one. Maybe you could get it to do it with each other.
Starting point is 00:36:21 Yeah. Like, you guys want this. It's like the Joker. Break the pool. Break the pool. Shut each other. Yeah. Like, you guys want this. It's like the Joker. Break the pool. Break the pool. Shut it down. Yeah. So Invincible got a clip, the TV series,
Starting point is 00:36:31 and a release date of March 26th. What do you think? Looks good. Also, if you know Robert Kirkman, he did The Walking Dead and many other things. But, yeah, it's going to be hour-long episodes. Wow. So, great.
Starting point is 00:36:44 I watched the clip and towards, it's about, it's like two and a half minutes long. And it's the scene where Invincible and his dad play catch around the whole world. Yes. And I watched about a minute of it and I'm like, have I already seen this? And I haven't, but it's just, it's exactly the same as the comic book. So I'm like, probably don't need to watch this, to be honest. No, come on, man. You don't watch it a hundred times.
Starting point is 00:37:06 I'm never going to stop watching it. I just meant the trailer, I guess. Yeah, that's true as well, yeah. And now let's do our Marvel News, Mason. Okay. Matt Damon has joined Jothor, Love and Thunder. He's arrived in the country. Presumably.
Starting point is 00:37:17 Yeah, no, he has. They're all arrived, I think. Sif is in. Yeah, they're all going to beat us up for that time we spoiled his appearance in. You spoiled it. I was against it, to clarify. I said, no, I was like, let's do it. Does that mean he's going to get...
Starting point is 00:37:32 He's the same guy, I guess. Or he's a new guy. You'd make him the same guy, surely. I guess you would, yeah. Yeah. I don't know, that's what I'd do. Was he a known character in that movie? No, he was just a guy playing Loki.
Starting point is 00:37:45 He's like an actor, I guess. Also, yeah, Ethan Hawke is the Moon Knight villain. All right. Okay, cool. That's good. He's a good actor. It's true. He is good, yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:57 There's also been rumours that Chris Evans is coming back as Captain America in some form. He says, though, this is news to me, but I think he is. I don't know whether it's going to be like the Winter Soldier show, but I think they're going to bring him back. In a large role or a small role? I think they're going to. Well, the rumor is that he's going to be like in a bunch of smaller stuff.
Starting point is 00:38:17 Right. Yeah, but you could do. Like Volkswagens. Yeah, exactly. He could do a Volkswagen. But he could do, I'd even see like Captain America Returns the Stones, the series or whatever. I don't think they'd do that necessarily.
Starting point is 00:38:28 Captain America has an extremely awkward meeting with Red Skull. Yeah, exactly. I don't reckon it'd be that awkward. Captain America tries to figure out a way to get one of those stones back into that staff. How's he going to do it? How's he going to do it? Maybe it's like a light bulb situation.
Starting point is 00:38:42 Oh, yeah, yeah. Like you just have to. Yeah. Like the way they broke it in half in the mood. It's fine. It's not a problem. I just leave it there. It's like someone will fix this.
Starting point is 00:38:50 Fix that. Exactly right. Don't worry about it. So, yeah, I think he is coming back. So I think the rumors are pretty, I don't know. I don't know. We'll see. The other thing is Deadpool 3 has been announced to be part of the MCU
Starting point is 00:39:01 and it's going to be R-rated, which is a break from the movies that aren't R-rated. How are they going to put that on Disney Plus eventually? Disney After Dark. They're doing Disney Plus Star. Did you see that? Yeah, we talked about it. Dad. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:15 Yeah, that's right. Programming for dads. They can put it all on that. Other countries who have Hulu get Hulu and places like here get Star. I think for Deadpool there should be another. Even ruder section? Yeah, even ruder section, but it's in Dad. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:29 It's within the Dad section, but it's like ruder still. Ruder still, don't tell your wife. For only, for rude dads only. You wouldn't want to get caught going in there. No. No. Did you see, I don't know, is that all the Marvel stuff? Yes.
Starting point is 00:39:44 Did you see the trailer for Willy's Wonderland? The Nicolas Cage is killing animatronics, but maybe they've got meat in them? Yeah, that one. Yeah, I did, yeah. I'm sort of intrigued, but I think it's fascinating because for people who haven't seen it, the premise is basically it's a Chuck E. Cheese-esque restaurant
Starting point is 00:40:02 with animatronic Muppets. Like a Five Nights at Freddy's. That's exactly what I'm saying. And they're killing people at night, which is exactly the premise of Five Nights at Freddy's. How'd they get away with this? I don't feel it's a generic enough premise that they could just be like. Yeah, I guess it is, though, because, like, they did it.
Starting point is 00:40:21 I guess they did, yeah. I think there was going to be a Five Nights at Freddy's movie anyway, wasn't there? I'm pretty sure there was at some point. I'm going to check that out just quickly. But, yeah. It's not like it's, oh, it's, you know, there's a serial killer and he haunts the highways or whatever or he shows up in the suburbs
Starting point is 00:40:36 and he murders people. Like, that's generic enough that I guess you could do a fun riff. Like, I guess the difference here is that in Five Nights at Freddy's, the games, you're, games, you're defenseless. All you can do is open doors, whereas in this, he's a guy who's clearly fighting back. So I guess that is the legal defense of this. But again, I don't think it's – but I guess lawyers disagree.
Starting point is 00:40:57 But this also reminds me of – did you see the movie Krampus? Yes. Krampus has a whole lot of toys that also just have like, it's basically just like it's a jack-in-a-box shell, but it's a horrible monster underneath it. So I don't know. But that thing is Scott Cawthorn, creator of Five Nights at Freddy's, recently revealed the movie adaptation will begin filming in spring of 2021. Not anymore.
Starting point is 00:41:19 No, I guess not. So there you go. Oh, boy. And the last bit of news, because I saved the best for last, the best news you could possibly hear, just to perk up your day, Mason, is Justice League will not be a series of hour-long episodes. It will be
Starting point is 00:41:33 a four-hour movie. Yes! We did it, folks! We pressured the WB. I don't remember doing that. No, no, no. We definitely did because they were like, we think it's best for it to be four one-hour blocks, and obviously they cannot be trusted.
Starting point is 00:41:51 Agreed. They were like, we had some meetings with Joss Whedon, and he said that it should be four one-hour blocks. So we've beaten them. That's crazy. It is crazy. It feels good to get a win. That's right.
Starting point is 00:42:04 This thing that I want. That's right. We definitely want. It feels good to get a win. That's right. This thing that I want. That's right. We definitely want it and we've won and now we all have to sit in front of our TVs for four hours. Well, here's the thing, Mason. We're not sitting in front of our TV for four hours. Are we? Because I think this might go to cinemas here. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:42:18 So I think we might have to endure this. James, no. What have we done? This is a movie. I thought we got an absolute win Yeah Because I feel like if it's four hours and I'm at home I'm like, I don't care
Starting point is 00:42:29 Yeah It could be a hundred hours I'll just blit it up I'll pee all I like I'll pee all over this television But I don't know Now we've got to pee on the people in front of us Yeah, as is tradition
Starting point is 00:42:41 So, yeah I mean, if it comes to cinema's bad And also because I don't really want to sit anywhere for four hours Yeah, as is tradition. So, yeah, I mean, if it comes to cinemas, bad. And also because I don't really want to sit anywhere for four hours, if I'm honest. What do you think? It's too long. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:54 It's too long. But, you know, Lord of the Rings extended, they're all 150. They're all too long, though. That's the thing. They're all too long. Yeah, but they're good. Still too long. Have you seen them? Maybe.
Starting point is 00:43:04 Interesting. It really is, yeah. Anyway, that is all the news. FX's The Veil explores the surprising and fraught relationship between two women who play a deadly game of truth and lies on the road from Istanbul to Paris and London. One woman has a secret. The other, a mission to reveal it
Starting point is 00:43:26 before thousands of lives are lost. FX's The Veil, starring Elizabeth Moss, is now streaming on Disney+. Will you rise with the sun to help change mental health care forever? Join the Sunrise Challenge to raise funds for CAMH, the Center for Addiction and Mental Health to support life-saving progress in mental health care.

Help CAMH build a future where no one is left behind. So, who will you rise for? Register today at sunrisechallenge.ca. That's sunrisechallenge.ca. Huh. Here we go. I've got a bit of a story to tell you. You yawn toca. That's sunrisechallenge.ca. Huh. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:44:07 I've got a bit of a story to tell you. You're yarn to weave. It's an ad, but just listen, all right? Okay. Just listen. You're going to add a little bit of colour to it. Definitely. Yeah, great.
Starting point is 00:44:14 So I want you to picture a tiny apartment in sullen Southern California. Oh, yuck. I'm hating it already, but go on. Two college dropouts teamed up to create a watch company that broke all the rules. Two sullen boys. That's right.
Starting point is 00:44:27 Because they wanted fair prices, unexpected colours and clean original designs. MVMT, pronounced movement, Mason, grew into one of the fastest growing watch brands, shipping to over 160 countries across the globe. That's every country and more probably. Almost certainly. I don't think there's that many countries in the world. There shouldn't be. They're sending some to space probably.
Starting point is 00:44:49 They should merge some, don't you reckon? Yeah. I reckon we should just take New Zealand and just be like, no, that's us. It's all New Zealand. Nice, Aus-Zealand. No, just Australia. Oh, that's even better actually, yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:59 Now movement has expanded into blue light glasses that protect your eyes from screens, minimalist jewellery and more style essentials that don't break the bank, all designed out of their California sunny headquarters. It's not summer anymore because they've brightened up the state. You've got some styles of movement watches, Mason. What are you into? I do.
Starting point is 00:45:18 What have you got? I love the Voyager. I love the field watch. It's a bit more outdoorsy. Sure, yeah. I love a bloody... You've got an indoor watch and an outdoor watch? Yes.
Starting point is 00:45:28 Catch me in a doorway, I'll probably be wearing both watches because I'm switching. You're at a party. You're making conversation. That's right. I get it. I know what you're doing. Let's step out on the balcony.
Starting point is 00:45:36 I'll just change my watch. And I can because there's so many indoor and outdoor styles. That's it. And some for both. Agreed. If you're not insane. They also have abeatable price point. Movement watches have the look and quality of a $400 to $500 watch
Starting point is 00:45:52 that you're paying for at a department store, but at a fraction of the cost because the whole thing is built online and they own their process from start to finish. There you go. Which is good. You know what I mean? Cut out that middleman. I agree.
Starting point is 00:46:03 Except for us. Except for us. We're the good guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, so you get a beautiful watch shipped right to your front door for free. And if you don't love it, you can just ship it right back again for free. Two things for free. That's right.
Starting point is 00:46:14 And crazy. I was going to say incredible and crazy. It's incredible. Yeah. And the last thing is I just want to mention the blue light glasses. As you know, I spend a lot of my time in front of a computer just staring intensely at it, just seeing if I can burn out my eyes. Why don't you stare at nature? Nature is... I don't have an outdoor watch, Mason.
Starting point is 00:46:29 That's true. You're right. That's not true. I do have a beautiful outdoor movement watch. It's an indoor outdoor watch. So yeah, it's terrific for the Everscroll blue light filtering glasses. They're an absolute game changer. They help with eye strain and also sleeping patterns. And there's a bunch of bloody designs. The ones that I got, people might have seen them online. They're circular, game changer. They help with eye strain and also sleeping patterns. And there's a bunch of bloody designs. The ones that I got, people might have seen them online. They're circular. They're gold.
Starting point is 00:46:49 They're beautiful, Mason. Wow. Indoor and outdoor? Yeah, Mason. They're indoor and outdoor, yeah. Here we go, though, because if you want to elevate your look and style that doesn't break the bank, then join the movement and get 15% off today with free shipping and free returns by going to MVMT.com slash weeklyplanet.

Starting point is 00:47:33 You've been watching some sea shanties? Yeah. People are piling on sea shanties on sea shanties. I mean, it sounds complicated, though. Not as complicated as a HelloFresh meal, which is surprisingly simple, Mason. And get this also, if you're planning a- What a perfect segue. It can be stressful planning a meal.
Starting point is 00:47:49 I agree. And then you've got- Like planning a sea shanty. Exactly. Like, and you've got your grocery store trips, you're fraught with danger. You've got to pick which guy's going to go pom, pom, pom, pom, pom, pom, you know? I don't want to be that guy. I want to be one of the more important guys.

HelloFresh offers 23-plus recipes each week featuring a range of flavours, cuisines and ingredients so you'll never get bored. Perhaps some cuisine from the Caribbean. Oh, my God.

Starting point is 00:48:21 Some gruel? Some gruel and rum? Is there a gruel and rum recipe? I don't do gruel and rum. It's actually probably good. Yeah, that would be bad. They also cut down on the grocery bills and food waste. HelloFresh delivers pre-proportioned ingredients
Starting point is 00:48:34 so you're not overbuying, which is obviously a burden on the planet and your bloody wallet, am I right? That's right. Well, one thing that I've tried out recently is the rosemary and parmesan crumbed chicken burger with cozz, lettuce lettuce salad and mayo. Can you believe it?

It's also said here it's highly encouraged to voice the following HelloFresh tagline, America's number one meal kit. America's number one meal kit. Okay. Well, I was just going to say that, like, we don't have to, it's encouraged,
Starting point is 00:49:25 but they're like, that's on you, you make that call. Whatever musical style you desire. Yeah. Bom, bom, bom, bom, bom, bom, bom, bom, America's number one meal kit. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Just a bit jolly, you know what I mean? A bit jolly. You've got to keep your jollies up, because
Starting point is 00:49:41 you're going to get the lash, you know? You're going to get the lash. Oh, yeah, let's go to the show, rest of the show. Yep. Hello, Fresh. Don't get the lash. Don't get it. Get Hello, Fresh. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:50 So now we're in the section of the show where we're going to go through the movies of 2021. This is a fucking utter waste of time. But I guess we're doing it. Because of how many cancellations. Since I've made this list, I've already had to shift a bunch of this shit around. That being said, there's also a lot of how many cancellations. Since I've made this list, I've already had to shift a bunch of this shit around. That being said, there's also a lot of streaming here.
Starting point is 00:50:08 So what am I doing? Well, let's do it in big chunks. Big chunks. So we're already through January for the most part and something came out, I think. But you know that. Oh, my God. It's nearly February. How did that happen?
Starting point is 00:50:19 Time. It was December for a million years. Yeah. Yeah, it was, wasn't it? Yeah. Yeah. It was December for a million years. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:23 Yeah, it was, wasn't it? Yeah. Yeah. So February, the big ones I've got here are Tom and Jerry, animated and live action, and the movie Cherry, which is Tom Holland robs a bank for money. He does. But I look, it doesn't, the trailer doesn't really. That's the Russo brothers as well.
Starting point is 00:50:43 It is. The trailer doesn't really explain it all that well, but he signs up to the army. Yes. And then he gets shipped off for a tour of Afghanistan or what have you. Yep. And then he comes back and he's addicted to painkillers, which is why he has to use Robin Banks to pay for it. Maybe his girlfriend left him or something.
Starting point is 00:50:57 Yeah, yeah, yeah. What do you think? Looks pretty good. Yeah. I like that Thomas Holland. That's right. It'll be interesting to see a Russo Brothers film outside of the MCU. Did you know his last name is actually pronounced Ho-land?
Starting point is 00:51:08 Ho-land? Wow, does he know that? No. No, I'm trying to find a way to break it to him. Have you been hitting him up on Insta? I think it'll break his little heart. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, you know?
Starting point is 00:51:18 Ooh! That's not about Holland, but his broken heart. Ooh, just like a little mouse is broken. Just like a mouse has been let down. Oh, my cheese. It's the same noise. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I couldn't tell him about his name.
Starting point is 00:51:33 I had to say that somebody ate all his cheese. Oh, my cheese. My gouda. No gouda. That's what he thinks about that. I agree. That is what he thinks. So there you go.
Starting point is 00:51:46 But we're going to move into March Because they've got Coming to America Wait there's only two movies Coming out in February? There's others But that's like the main Kind of stuff Whatever
Starting point is 00:51:53 You're saying Mostly Bollywood And straight to DVD And stuff I mean a lot of these Are straight to DVD And VOD or whatever March we've got
Starting point is 00:52:00 Coming to America Which is the sequel And it's also PG-13 Oh So no washing your penis jokes, which the first one had. Speaking of Tom Holland. And no washing your penis in the cinema. No, I agree.
Starting point is 00:52:12 I don't care how many people you have to pee on. I don't care if there's a bird bath in there. It doesn't matter. Right out. Don't do it. That's right. That's for the birds. Speaking of Tom Holland, we're getting Chaos Walking, the one where you can see Tom Holland
Starting point is 00:52:25 we're getting Chaos Walking the one where you can see Tom Holland's thoughts so you know when he's let down The Mind Snake Do you reckon that's going to be good? It's called Don't Wash Your Mind Snake in the presence of others Yeah, that's right
Starting point is 00:52:38 Your little grubby little boy Are you looking forward to that movie? Nope Knowing that it's not forward to that movie? Nope. Knowing that it's not going to be very good. Nope, I'm not. Maybe it's amazing. They've been delaying it. Maybe I'll watch it if it's on streaming.
Starting point is 00:52:51 They filmed it in like 2003 or something. It's been out. He was a 10-year-old boy then. They pushed it back before the pandemic. Oh, well, that's a really bad time. But they reshot a bunch, so maybe it's good. They're going to release it with a tagline, we only delayed this because of the pandemic and no other reason.
Starting point is 00:53:12 It's good, we swear. No, we can't promise that. Yeah. Just watch it, though. Yeah, just watch it. Just watch it, though. We're happy for you to pay for it. Raya or Raya and the Last Dragon.
Starting point is 00:53:20 Okay. That looks interesting. Got some good martial arts stuff as well. It's got Kelly Marie Tran. The unbearable weight of massive talent. Do you know what this is? No. Nicolas Cage. Hello.
Starting point is 00:53:30 Begrudgingly accepts a $1 million offer to attend the birthday of a Mexican billionaire superfan. Wait, the actor Nicolas Cage. Yes. Okay. And he characterizes himself. Yes. When things take a wild turn, Nick, is it just NIC? He says it is.
Starting point is 00:53:43 Yeah, NIC, yeah. Is forced to become a version of some of the most iconic and beloved characters, of his most beloved and iconic characters, in order to save his wife and daughter from the fan. Oh, this is his JCVD. That's right. Or being John Malkovich, I guess. Yep, yep.
Starting point is 00:53:58 So Pedro Pascal is in it. Tiffany Haddish as well. So there you go. What do you think? Okay, all right. I'll probably watch that. I'm surprised there's no trailer yet. I wonder which of his characters he's legally allowed to be.
Starting point is 00:54:11 I think if you just put him in, like, the clothes, you don't need to, like, say it. Yeah, that's probably true. Because you can do a Pulp Fiction. Everyone's John Travolta in whatever. Yeah, that's probably true. Pulp Fiction. I'm thinking of Iron Man 3 when Happy was John Travolta.
Starting point is 00:54:22 But he could be John Travolta in Face Off. He could be. He could be, couldn't he? You ever seen those memes where they're like, they swap their faces back in real life and it's like, what am I doing? Do you know what I'm talking about? Because they're fat or something.
Starting point is 00:54:36 No, it's not even that. It's just like there's a photo of them more recently together and people are like. Nice. I love it. It doesn't fucking matter. No, James. It's not a good
Starting point is 00:54:45 joke and i'm not we need no we need fresh content for 2021 and i think it should be james is tired and tries to explain a meme the segment you don't have to we don't like what we should do even if we record these at a normal time yeah what you do is maybe like later in the week yep just stay up too late and then try to explain a meme to your wife before you go to bed and record that. We'll slot it in. I'll do it. Happy to do it.
Starting point is 00:55:08 Great. And then, of course, as mentioned, we had Godzilla vs. Kong. Yeah. Which is March also, so very exciting. April, the movie Nobody. You know that one? Yeah, it's Bob Odenkirk. Bob Odenkirk.
Starting point is 00:55:19 Looks good, but would it be good without Bob Odenkirk? We don't know. Okay, we know definitively. No is the answer. And then we got Mortal Kombat. Yeah. Just straight up. We've already recorded our Caravan of Garbage for the first Mortal Kombat.
Starting point is 00:55:32 That's right. Because we were going to release it before the end of the year, but then we didn't because something else, you know. You're damn right. I'm goddamn right. I'm looking forward to it. Me too. And I'm going to make a call and say it's going to be the best Mortal Kombat movie
Starting point is 00:55:45 by a very long way, even if it's bad. There's no way the martial arts could be worse. No. Than the previous ones. Not that there weren't martial artists involved in the previous ones. As we talk about, some can do it. Some clearly cannot. Martial arts in movies requires knowing martial arts
Starting point is 00:56:03 and also knowing how to stage martial arts on screen so it can look good. And that has kind of been figured out at this point. Whereas when those movies came out originally, maybe they hadn't really. My understanding is when they shot that movie, nobody had figured out anything at all. But they did it. That's right. We'll talk about it.
Starting point is 00:56:20 People talk about how that's the best video game movie. It's clearly not. You can see how you could derive some joy from it, but it's, come on. Ah, then May. Side note, I've just been thinking about Nicolas Cage. I was thinking about him earlier this week, probably because of that. Watch that swearing
Starting point is 00:56:35 show? No. Has he done anything super weird? Like in a bad way? Or do I have just a weird feeling about him, but I think it's just because he's weird. And he's a series of wigs? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:51 Like he's He's an odd duck. He's an odd duck, but he's generally alright. It seems like he's very, people seem to like him, don't they? Yeah, I think so. I know some people that worked with him when he did Ghost Rider and said he was nice, and I think you also know some people that maybe worked with him?
Starting point is 00:57:08 Yeah, maybe I met a couple of people. I think it's that and the thing that I heard that he made people call him Mr. Coppola on set of Ghost Rider, but maybe that's not even true. Could be a joke as well. That's something I would do. Call me Mr. Coppola. But your name's Mr. Sunday Movies.
Starting point is 00:57:24 Not anymore, it isn't. If you call me that,ola but your name's mr sunday movies not anymore it isn't if you call me that i'll call my uncle uh des i have an uncle yeah yeah he's a racist and he'll be racist at you so he'll figure out what weird ethnicity your ancestors were and he'll call you he'll come out you'll be like i didn't think there was a racism about that ethnicity. No, there is. He'll figure it out. He's got one. Belgian?
Starting point is 00:57:47 Yeah, no, he'll be racist. Yeah, but what was I going to say? Oh, yeah, by the way, he's Francis Ford Coppola's nephew, if people don't know that. But he changed his name. But despite being odd and making odd movie choices and buying too many castles and dinosaur skulls, he's all right, I think. As far as I know.
Starting point is 00:58:04 Cool, good. I mean, he's definitely like a weird celebrity lunatic man. Oh, yeah, besides that. But they all are, so I guess, yeah. They all are, so yeah. And then May, we've got Black Widow. I mean, a lot of these we would have talked about last year. Sure we do.
Starting point is 00:58:16 Yeah, because also I should mention a lot of these we talked about this time last year. Yeah. Then we've got Free Guy, which is very much in flux. I feel like that could be a streaming one pretty easily. Yeah. Then we've got Free Guy, which is very much in flux. I feel like that could be a streaming one pretty easily. Yeah. Maybe it'll go to Ryan Reynolds' weird streaming service that he made. Green Mint or whatever it is.
Starting point is 00:58:32 Mint Mobile or whatever it is, yeah. Free Guy Spiral, which is the Saw reboot or renew one. Yep, uh-huh. F9. Oh, yeah. The hot, the key on the keyboard. Will they be propelled into space at the end? Maybe. Or is that the next, next one? That might be the next Oh, yeah. The hot, the key on the keyboard. Will they be propelled into space at the end? Maybe.
Starting point is 00:58:46 Or is that the next, next one? That might be the next one, yeah. Who cares? And then we've got. Have you fallen out of love with F9? Yes. Part of the fast and furious. Was Ava in love?
Starting point is 00:58:55 Yeah, you loved him. I don't know. I feel like, and like I enjoy him enough, but. I wouldn't come in here and you'd have that fast and furious game. You'd be kissing it. I still haven't played it. I'm only kissing it because I like the box art, Mason. I'll have you know.
Starting point is 00:59:07 Strawberry flavoured. Yeah, that's right. That's why they sell so many copies. You'd go to an EB Games or whatever and you'd be like, it smells like a soap store in here. What's going on? Wait a minute. Have these been pre-kissed?
Starting point is 00:59:21 Are these a second-hand copy? I don't want a pre-kissed game. I wouldn't buy a pre-kissed. At least a second hand copy. I don't want a pre-kissed game. I wouldn't buy a pre-kissed game. Neither would I. I guess it wouldn't be any worse than human hands. Probably, yeah. And Cruella. Cruella?
Starting point is 00:59:37 Cruella, yeah. Oh, it's funny. That's a word I can't say, it turns out. Don't you love it when you figure that out? You're like, oh, I can't say that word. Live on a podcast. You can take it out, but we've referenced it enough times you probably shouldn't can't now uh so that's the uh i remember that time you couldn't pronounce cruella yeah i remember that
Starting point is 00:59:51 yeah i remember the cruella riots in australia remember those i remember those on the beach yeah that's right yeah yeah uh so that was this is a sequel to 101 dalmatians and i guess a prequel prequel sorry because the sequel is 102 dalmatians. But this is Craig Gillespie. We did Lars and the Real Girl, Fright Night, the Anton Yelchin one, which I quite like, and I, Tonya. And it's also starring, what's her name? Emma Stone. So maybe, but also I don't give a shit.
Starting point is 01:00:20 Next up we've got June. The actual sequel, the book sequel to 101 Dalmatians I learned this week. Some of the dogs died. No, it's called. Less dogs. It's called The Starlight Barking. And it's got nothing. It's got aliens and stuff in it.
Starting point is 01:00:35 Fuck out of here. No one wants that. No one wants that in a million years. Here we go. People want one more Dalmatian. Well, hang on. Here's the plot. Okay. The Dearly Family, Most of the Dalmatian. Well, hang on. Here's the plot. Okay.
Starting point is 01:00:47 The Dearly Family, Most of the Dalmatians, the first book, still live in Cruella de Vil's old manor house in Suffolk. Something, something. One morning the dogs find all other living things besides dogs cannot be wakened. Okay. Hang on. No dog is hungry, thirsty, or weak. Doors, gates, and machines operate on command.
Starting point is 01:01:10 The dogs are able to communicate via thought waves to others many miles away. Cadpig, now acting prime minister in the human's absence, orders her parents to come help her in London where hundreds of dogs are arriving awaiting her advice. The dogs discover they can swoosh or hover at tremendous speed over the ground. What are we... What? Yeah. I think there's only... Is it like the 30s or some shit? speed over the ground. What are we? What? Yeah. I think there's only this one.
Starting point is 01:01:26 Is it like the 30s or some shit? Yeah, of course. Anyway, it goes on. It goes on forever. It's still going. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dogs are floating around causing trouble. It's all about floating dogs.
Starting point is 01:01:36 Anyway, I learned that this week. Isn't that fun? I didn't know that. Yeah. And I didn't want to know that, just to clarify. I don't need that information. Well, you can't take it away now, can you? I certainly can't.
Starting point is 01:01:43 Unless you put this ice pick through your brain. Oh, good. He's doing it! Guys, he's doing it! Your brain doesn't have any holes in it, but it could have a bunch of holes in it. Ice pick-shaped holes in it. June, we've got The Conjuring The Devil Made Me Do It.
Starting point is 01:02:02 I've got to watch those. I've heard they're good. Dave Lee down under, he said they're good. And other people also have said they're good. Yeah. Other non-Dave Lee people. Yeah. I don't think they're making them just off Dave Lee's recommendation because I think they also make like millions of dollars.
Starting point is 01:02:15 But I'm sure they're played a factor. I don't mean to downplay the role of Dave Lee. But, I mean, in one of Dave Lee's videos he said, everybody get out there and spend millions of dollars on these movies. Did say that. Like buy millions of dollars worth of tickets to the movies. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I guess he's partially responsible.
Starting point is 01:02:30 I think he is, yeah. The movie Samaritan, you know this one? It's the Stallone's new one where something is homeless and whatever. He's been promoting it forever on Instagram. Is he a superhero maybe? I'm thinking of Arch Enemy. Yeah, it might be actually, yeah. It might be a superhero.
Starting point is 01:02:43 I think it is. That's the same plot as the movie Arch Enemy, which is out now, but I haven't watched it yet. Is that out? It's out. Is it good? I don't know. I haven't watched it yet.
Starting point is 01:02:50 I mean, there's people saying it's good. It's one of those ones where it's like you can rent it for $17.99, and I'm like, I won't rent it for $17.99. Can I? No, I don't want to. Then we've got In the Heights, the Lin-Manuel Miranda musical. Then we've got Luca Which is the Pixar something The Italian one

Starting point is 01:03:32 it's done they filmed it they did it they did it the whole movie yeah and it might have links to other Spider-Man movies
Starting point is 01:03:39 I don't know yeah July though get ready oh we're only July okay seventh month of the year
Starting point is 01:03:45 Yeah yeah yeah This has got the most movies I think Well the ones that I've written down the most Oh maybe not No I've just There's some descriptions in here That's why it's long
Starting point is 01:03:53 It looks long Okay right So we've got Top Gun Loser Yep Alright Shang-Chi Yes Which I'm really looking forward to
Starting point is 01:03:59 Space Jam A new Space Jam Not excited for it in the slightest But good on everybody Why not Good on everybody, I say. The Tomorrow War. Do you know what that is?
Starting point is 01:04:08 No. This film, which is set in the near future, focuses on humanity's war against an alien invading force hoping to win. No. Hovering dogs. That doesn't say anything about dogs. Hoping to win it by using hovering dogs. Oh, no, it does say hovering dogs, Macy.
Starting point is 01:04:22 There we go. I missed that. I was hoping to win it by using scientists' new ability to draft soldiers from the past. Oh, no, it does say off-ring dogs, Mason. I missed that. I was hoping to win it by using scientists' new ability to draft soldiers from the past. So I think Chris Pratt is a past drafter. One ticket to a past drafter, please.
Starting point is 01:04:36 You can't even say that. I don't think you meant to make that kind of mistake then. And it's M. Night's new movie also. M. Night Shyamalan's new movie is called Old, and that's the one that's based off the graphic novel Sandcastle. Those are separate movies. Past Drafter and Sandcastle.
Starting point is 01:04:51 Oh, my God. Jungle Cruise. He's going to draft you back from the past. Very good, Mason. That's a great, we're still doing it. It's a great theme song. Jungle Cruise. Ah, the rock's tiny tugboat.
Starting point is 01:05:04 The boat thing or whatever. Yeah, yeah. The Green Knight. This one was really interesting to me. Dev Patel. Yeah. Something Knights of the Round Table, something. A fantasy adventure.
Starting point is 01:05:12 But it's rude? Maybe. Based on an Arthurian legend, the Green Knight tells the story of Sir Gawain, Dev Patel, King Arthur's headstrong nephew, who embarks on a quest to confront the Green Knight, a gigantic green-skinned stranger. Yeah. Yeah. Hell yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:29 I saw that and I'm like, yeah, whatever. Giant green man. All right. That was entertainment back in the day. In days of yore, they were like, what happened next? The knights of the round table, who did they battle after that? A green man? A green man. A green man.
Starting point is 01:05:47 A giant green man. Wow. Big as a tree? As big or bigger. What a tale. Because initially it was like a tree is the biggest thing that he could imagine. But then he imagined something even bigger,
Starting point is 01:06:03 so he decided to add it to the tale. And that's the magic of storytelling, James. It's amazing. It's what you can imagine. Anyway, there's a trailer out. I think it looks good. Yeah, it does. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:15 Yeah. Then August, we've got The Suicide Squad. We've got The Kingsman, which we talked about getting delayed, and Candyman. So those are all different and may be potentially good. Do you know if Candyman's delayed five times, the Candyman appears behind you in a mirror and then... He doesn't add for the streaming. A comedic thing happens, James.
Starting point is 01:06:36 He doesn't add for streaming because it's going to streaming. There we go, and that's imagination is how we do this. Wow. We're waving our arms at everybody. You can't see it, but we're just fired up by imagination. We've reached the point in the podcast of a late night record, which I call ultimate victory, where everything's just a win. Every thought is a win.
Starting point is 01:06:56 Oh, my God. Every step forward is a win. Suicide Squad, obviously, et cetera. Every month we get through in this read without just falling onto the table of sleep is an absolute win i agree i wonder if the suicide squad the trailer they're going to kind of delay because james gunn is like not yet because we just got a kong trailer and that moves like two months out so i don't know we'll see uh then september jackass four still jacking that's not what it's
Starting point is 01:07:21 called but it should be am i right i agree yes one, yes. Jacktastic 4, I'd call it. That's good. That's very good. We're waving our arms. So, one of those guys is dead, I think. I'm pretty sure. Wee Man? No, that's the rumour that he keeps dying. But he's not dying. Sorry, Wee Man.
Starting point is 01:07:41 One of the rumours is he ate a pound of salt and he died. I can't remember which one died. It's not dying sorry Wee Man I know one of the rumors is like he ate like a pound of salt and he died but no I can't remember which one died but um well it's not Johnny Knoxville those dudes are all like mid 40s
Starting point is 01:07:50 maybe 50 so this is gonna be a disaster and just they're just bags of bone dust at this point he has like a catheter
Starting point is 01:07:57 from an injury or he did and they're all like but was all worth it in a way I watched the third one and then like I don't wanna watch I don't want to go back
Starting point is 01:08:06 because I feel like they probably peak. Yeah, yeah. But I remember the big shopping trolley. Remember that? Whatever. I mean, look, on the one hand, they have ruined themselves forever. Yeah. But I mean like.
Starting point is 01:08:16 But remember MTV 2004 or whatever? But like a lot of people are like this is, like it's an iconic comedy. There's some good stuff in it, yeah. Wild, crazy. And they're not like mean to random people on the street where a lot of pranks are just like I've slapped your phone out of your hand or whatever. It's a prank.
Starting point is 01:08:36 Don't beat me up or whatever. Yeah, that's right. If they're slapping anything, it's their own balls off their body onto the pavement. Clean off? Yeah, right off at this point. These guys would do anything. Next we've got Resident Evil.
Starting point is 01:08:49 More like Resident Don't Evil. Whoa. No, actually, I'm looking forward to this. The world's in love, James. The whole internet's in love with the giant vampire lady. Maybe she could kiss the giant green man. Oh, my goodness. Wowzers.
Starting point is 01:09:02 Is that like, I saw the footage. It's a woman, obviously,. Wowzers. Is that like, I saw the footage. It's like it's a woman, obviously, a vampire woman. I mean, probably, or like she's a, I mean, she might be made of snakes. You don't know. That's fine. Yeah. I think anybody who's like along for the giant vampire lady. Yeah, that's probably true.
Starting point is 01:09:17 She's made of snakes. You going to get that Resident Evil game? No, I think I tapped out at seven because it's too gross. I'd want to see some footage beforehand. I think maybe I've said this before, but it's actually not even that they're gross because gross is fine. Like in all the other Resident Evil games where you fight a guy and he's got one tentacle arm and he's got one stabby arm
Starting point is 01:09:37 and he's got a big eyeball coming off his shoulder or whatever. I'm like, that's gross, but who cares? But in like seven, there's someone with a knife chopping at you, and I'm like, that can happen. Somebody could come out with a knife. What am I going to do? Nothing. Nothing.
Starting point is 01:09:52 Because I'm just a regular man. I just get stabbed. That's right. I can't put a herb on myself and heal up. And like in the game, you are also in first person. That's exactly right, yeah. You can't third person see who's coming behind you kind of thing. That's true, yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:04 But anyway, maybe I want to see. Like if it's more... I think it's more 4. It seems like it's more Resident Evil 4, kind of that kind of vibe. Well, if it's more like Monster Reason, you get a rocket launcher and stuff. I don't know. I mean, and that's how 7 went in eventually anyway. Like you were fighting a big...
Starting point is 01:10:19 I didn't play it. I should play it. I played the demo. How tall do you think the vampire lady is? It's tough to say. She looks about 10 foot, I would say. I'm wondering because the arches, maybe the doorways are a bit smaller because it's an old castle.
Starting point is 01:10:30 If she was a regular-sized lady, people wouldn't be – there'd be none of this. That's right. People would be like pretty – A lady who cares. Yeah. Vampire lady, whatever. Who cares.
Starting point is 01:10:40 All right, something about it, I guess. It's like the green man. He's very appealing. That's right. Exactly, right? This is what celebrities were back in the day. Someone was taller than other people. It's really true.
Starting point is 01:10:52 Yeah. I'm pretty sure that's how Lincoln got to be president. They went, fuck, he's pretty tall, isn't he? And that hat. Jesus, this guy's got it all. Death on the Nile. He probably had great policies for the time also. Sure, yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:05 And maybe he murdered a bunch of people because that's how you get in charge, isn't it? That's right. I think so, yeah. I don't know, though. Don't at me with your Lincoln facts. Death on the Nile. Yep. Looks good.
Starting point is 01:11:13 Does it? Yeah. Have you seen anything from it? Is there a trailer? I saw the trailer, yeah. Oh, yeah. There was a trailer. It's got What's-His-Face in it and that lady, Gal Gadot, she's in it.
Starting point is 01:11:21 She's in it. That lady. Russell Brand's in it. Oh, yeah. Others. Is he a fop? He's more it. She's in it. That lady. Russell Brand's in it. Oh, yeah. Others. Is he a fop? He's more a professor than a fop, I think. Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 01:11:29 Sounds like his bloody podcast. Am I right? I don't know. I don't listen to it. I'm sure it's great. And about dichotomy of something. Next, we've got A Quiet Place 2. Yep.
Starting point is 01:11:40 Am I right? Fine, I guess. I don't know. I've fallen out. I liked A Quiet Place, but I've fallen out Like, I liked A Quiet Place But I kind of I've fallen out of It's fine
Starting point is 01:11:47 Yeah Then you're going to love A Quiet Place too, I feel Great I can tell from your enthusiasm And then The Many Saints of Newark Oh, that's the Prequel Which I will try and watch this year
Starting point is 01:11:59 The prequel that is And nothing else Great What are your thoughts on the A lot of tweets after you being like What did any of that mean? I don't understand. I don't get it.
Starting point is 01:12:07 I don't get it. They didn't do much sanitation work, I'll be honest. They didn't really. It's mostly crime, if I'm honest. Weird. What are your thoughts on the section, The City Coming Back? Oh, they're all coming back except for.
Starting point is 01:12:20 Because she's like, I will not work with. Carrie Bradshaw or the others maybe? Yeah. Whatever her real name is. Carrie Bradshaw's the others maybe. Yeah. What's it? Whatever her real name is. Carrie Bradshaw's real name. What are any of their real names? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:12:29 I can't remember. Yeah. I literally cannot. Because I'm such. Sarah Jessica Barcourt. Because I'm such a. Carrie Bradshaw. I'm such a Carrie.
Starting point is 01:12:37 I can't remember any of their names. I went through them all like, well, Charlotte would remember all their names. Yeah. Miranda would definitely remember all their names. She's written down. Yeah. Yeah. Samantha. She's got that roll of decks. You know what I mean? all their names. She'd have them written down. Yeah, yeah, Samantha. She's got that roll of decks, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:12:48 She's got a book, yeah, exactly. She's got a whole bloody big book, but Carrie would probably forget. Exactly. Anyway, it's Sarah Jessica Park Hall. She's buying too many shoes. Yeah, that's right. Are you excited for that coming back? Nope. I mean, the movies were bad, but the show was good.
Starting point is 01:13:00 But was it good, or was it just good? I mean, it did break a lot of ground for the time, yeah. But think this it's the city city of new york yeah yeah as sparkly as ever yeah but big's dead whoa wouldn't that be great yeah he sucks everyone's that part of you know that you know that was gonna be the plot of the third movie ah okay big was dead. And I'm like, cool, good. Wow, he was killed by the Joker. The Michael Penis one, I assume? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, of course. Yeah, good.
Starting point is 01:13:35 Yeah, yeah. In the 80s? Yeah. Okay, great. It's ruined the timeline. That's fine, I don't care. This movie's all over the place. Do you think it's going to be more Entourage the movie or more a better thing that gets a reboot?
Starting point is 01:13:50 Yeah, better thing, I think. Okay, yeah. I think you might be right. All right. Then we've got October, Dune, or is it the other one? No Time to Die, the calendar. Can't wait. Someone's looking at that calendar.
Starting point is 01:14:03 It's looking at me. I'm loving it. Halloween Kills. Yeah, right. Which's looking at that calendar. It's looking at me. I'm loving it. Halloween Kills. Yeah, right, which was going to be released last Halloween. A million years ago, yeah. The Last Duel, which is the Ridley Scott movie with Adam Driver and Matt Damon. I started reading the book, actually. It's about two Frenchmen dueling over something.
Starting point is 01:14:21 Oh. Maybe a woman. I don't know. Then Snake Eyes. i was trying to think of a because it's dual remember jewel with the car yeah the truck rather it's good movie adam driver oh yeah maybe adam carolla they could be maybe maybe adam carolla maybe it's that's the best i could do yeah that's good enough anyway um, Snake Eyes, Last Night in Soho. Oh, Snake Eyes, the G.I. Joe spin-off.
Starting point is 01:14:46 Okay, we're right. And the Last Night in Soho is an Edgar Wright movie. What is it? I don't know. I don't know. But I'm looking forward to it. I think we might get a trailer for that soon, actually. Then November, Eternals.
Starting point is 01:15:00 Big, big, big. Big good, probably. Yep. Speaking of, you mentioned they put a deaf actor in C-NoE or whatever it's called. One of the Eternals is deaf and in real life deaf as well. So there you go. Because they're super fast. Is that how it works?
Starting point is 01:15:15 No, I think it's the Sonic Boom. Maybe they got deafened by Sonic Boom. I think that's. Sonic Boom the video game? Yeah. Wow. Shouldn't have stick it in your ear. Anyway, so go on. It's the best I could do. I'm Boom the video game? Yeah. Wow. Shouldn't have stick it in your ear. Anyway, so go on.
Starting point is 01:15:26 It's the best I could do. I'm sorry. No, I understand. But I think I read... What I read was that the character and the actor is deaf and they're the super speed one. So I think maybe I just joined the wrong side. Oh, that'd be cool.
Starting point is 01:15:36 Maybe Sonic Boom's... Maybe like a thousand years of Sonic Boom did it. Maybe her ears move too fast for sound. Maybe. Maybe she runs and her ears stay a long way away and they can't take a long time to catch up. Because they're on a string. Yes.
Starting point is 01:15:49 I get you. Tin cans and string. Her ears are tin cans. Sounds really good. And string. And string. Then we've got Baz Luhrmann. That's how they communicate the Eternals throughout the galaxy.
Starting point is 01:15:58 Tin cans and string. Yeah, yeah. I should look into a different thing. Elvis movie. What's his name? Elvis Presley. Yeah, the famous musician. You might have known him from his music.
Starting point is 01:16:10 But it's the Baz Luhrmann one. And it's got Tom Hanks as the Colonel or whatever. Ghostbusters Afterlife, which is the fifth Ghostbusters movie we figured out. And of course, Mission Impossible number seven. Which is the sixth Ghostbusters movie we figured out out. That's right, exactly.
Starting point is 01:16:25 Can you believe that? I can. Do you think Tom Cruise believes in ghosts, knowing full well that he does? Because Scientology is about space ghosts. I mean, define ghosts, but space ghosts. Yeah, a lot of Scientology is based on space ghosts. I don't think he believes in, like, you know, a poltergeist situation.
Starting point is 01:16:41 Yeah. But I think if you were like Tom, all the crockery in my house moves around when I leave the room and then I come back and it's all different. What do you think that is? It's me. I'm running in. I'm moving all your crockery.
Starting point is 01:16:56 I've been doing it for years. I do it to so many people's houses. How do I fit it all in? Scientology. But I think you could probably, he could probably, if he was in the mindset, he could probably go, it's probably hasn't moved. It's probably you only think it's moved because your brain is unbalanced
Starting point is 01:17:15 because of thetans. Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah. And if we just strap you to this machine, your crockery won't move anymore because we'll have rearranged the thetans. Exactly. And so you won't rearrange a crocker anymore. Also, it was me. It was me the whole time.
Starting point is 01:17:29 But you're already in the machine. It's too late. Here's a question for you. Yes. If Tom Cruise had to choose between these two things. Oh, Tom Cruise choose. Yes, right. If he has to believe in one of the-
Starting point is 01:17:42 It's our famous segment, Tom Cruise choose. If he has, one of these things he has to believe in, the other one he has to drop, one of these. It's our famous segment, Tom Cruise Jews. If he has one of these things he has to believe in, the other one he has to drop, okay? Okay. One is Scientology, one is movie magic. What does he drop? I reckon movie magic. Yeah, you're probably right.
Starting point is 01:17:55 Yeah. Because they really got them, don't they? They really do, yeah. Yeah. I think they'd be like, Tom, I think your mission, as it were, in movies is over. You've completed the mission. You've taught everyone about movie magic and that was your goal
Starting point is 01:18:09 and we're saying no. Yeah, okay, fair enough. And here he goes. All right, I guess. Yeah. He turns it down because movie magic is gone. That's right, yeah. That's what drives him in many ways.
Starting point is 01:18:19 Mini drives him. Thank you. They're married, whatever. Scientology. Yeah. December we've got- Wait, no, not Mini Driver, the other one. whatever. Scientology. Yeah. December we've got- Wait, no. Not Minnie Driver.
Starting point is 01:18:26 The other one. Rogers? Mimi Rogers. Yeah. Doesn't work at all, but still, I'll take it. Totally works. Yep. When you explain it.
Starting point is 01:18:33 December we've got Nightmare Alley, which is Guillermo del Toro's new movie. Oh. It's exciting. I've got the description because I want that. It says, an ambitious carny, played by Bradley Cooper, with a talent for manipulating people with a few well-chosen words, hooks up with a female psychologist, Cate Blanchett, who is even more dangerous than he is.
Starting point is 01:18:55 Because she's probably got a knife, I don't know. Maybe she might have a knife. You think you're pretty good with your manipulating, but... I've got this knife. I've got this big, sharp knife. I'll wave it about. Yeah. So that's cool, I think.
Starting point is 01:19:05 It should be called Bradley Cooper. The synopsis should be Bradley Cooper is a carny who realises he could get ahead in life just by taking advantage of the fact that he looks like Bradley Cooper. I would use that all the time. Becomes a famous actor. Maybe he doesn't have the acting chops. You don't need them. He'd just be good looking, I reckon.
Starting point is 01:19:22 Then we've got Untitled Spider-Man Far From Home sequel, which is that it's officially called. Looks good, I think. I'd say nothing. Based on the previous movies. I want it to be good. Yeah, nice. And then we've got Matrix, and I've written here,
Starting point is 01:19:36 just called the Matrix because I think that's what it's called at the moment. Matrix. Matrix. I think it's going to be one of those Keanu Reeves' in the real world and they get super meta with it. You think so? Okay. I'm excited for it. I'm excited for it. I agree. I'm 100% on board with it.
Starting point is 01:19:53 Whether it be utter shit, as I've mentioned, I'm going to see it no matter what. Do you think there'll be some fun Cyberpunk 2077 references in it? No. Wow. I've defended it. You forbid it. I forbid it. I will not stand for it. Update, have you bought that game yet? No. Why would you? That's
Starting point is 01:20:10 all the movies. I might buy Hitman 3 this week. Oh yeah? I might get that too. I haven't played a Hitman game since. Hitman Blood Money? That's the last one I played. I can't remember. Long time ago though. They're good some of them probably. They're generally good aren't they? And the new ones have been very well received.
Starting point is 01:20:25 I've heard you probably could just play generally good, aren't they? Yeah. And the new ones have been very well received. Yeah. I've heard, like you probably could just play through the new trilogy because they're all very good as well. Yes. And you can get the story of how Hitman's maybe betrayed or whatever, but quite frankly, I don't give a fuck. I just want to grot somebody and throw them off a crane or whatever. Oh, there's a lot of that.
Starting point is 01:20:40 There's a lot of, I've watched some gameplay footage of like an early mission. There's like a lot of flinging people off the highest building in the world. Fuck yeah. Like that's a pretty good way of like eliminating evidence. And also whoever's on the ground. They're dead also, yeah. So there you go. That's everything.
Starting point is 01:20:57 That's right. We'll do another segment. It's called What We Reading. Yeah. What We Gonna Read. Let's do it. We've been away for a little bit. I haven't put the song in.
Starting point is 01:21:04 Oh, yeah, right, right, right. Ha, ha, ha. I put it on mute. Oh, you silly goose. God damn it, James. When are you going to learn that you're the dumbest man in the world? I guess now. Did it just happen now or has it sunk in?
Starting point is 01:21:16 Maybe it'll sink in later. You've said it. So maybe it won't get to you until later. It might come later, yeah. Would you want to just talk about WandaVision or do you want to talk about all the things that you've read? Well, I'm trying to think of stuff that I've watched and read. You know what I did watch?
Starting point is 01:21:32 I watched the first season of Staged. Did you see that? Staged. Staged is the – and I know we said we weren't going to enjoy or watch anything that was made during Zoom. Correct. It is in any way – Oh, it's the David Tennant one.
Starting point is 01:21:44 It's the David Tennant and Michael Sheen one. That's fine. And it's, again, it's. You're allowed to watch this one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's about, it's the premise basically is that David, pre-pandemic David Tennant and Michael Sheen, the actors, were going to do a play,
Starting point is 01:21:59 but then everything got cancelled. But their director has convinced them that they should do like Zoom meetings together and and hash out the script together so that when the pandemic is gone and all the lockdowns are lifted, they can be fighting fit and ready. Ready to go. Yeah, cool. Because they've all got personal problems and they've all got,
Starting point is 01:22:18 you know, and the director's all like, oh, I'm sad and, you know, et cetera. It's fun. It's a lot of fun. I watched the second season. Apparently the second season is more meta. Yeah, yeah. But that's not out here yet. So they're playing themselves.
Starting point is 01:22:30 They are playing themselves. And in the second season they're playing different versions of themselves. Oh, okay, right. So it's not a continuation. No. So apparently, I guess a minor spoiler, in the first season they are playing, again, versions of themselves that are rehearsing a play. In the second season, as I understand it,
Starting point is 01:22:52 they are playing the real-life versions of themselves who had a success with the TV show Stage, and now they're attempting to sell a reboot or an American version or something like that. Oh, okay, gotcha, yeah, yeah. So they're less fictionalised but also more fictional that. Oh, okay, gotcha, yeah, yeah. So they're less fictionalised but also more fictionalised. Yeah, okay, gotcha. So the second season they're acting like the first season was fictional,
Starting point is 01:23:10 which it is. Yes. But they're real. But they're also fictional. They're going mad about it. I love it. But anyway, they're both very charming. Yeah, so good.
Starting point is 01:23:17 If you watch Good Omens and you're like, oh, I like those guys, I'd like to see them in real life. I did watch it and I did like them. And there's Good Bantz and there's a few celebrity cameos. Is it Jim from The Office? Is he doing it? Jim from The Office is not in it. And I'm not.
Starting point is 01:23:28 Tim from The Office. Tim from The Office is also not in it. Couldn't get Tim from The Office? No. He's British. Like Dom Norgleason. That's true. That's right.
Starting point is 01:23:37 It's back. That's back as well, baby. Yeah. Also what I watched, I've been watching a YouTube channel called Casually Comics. I don't know if you've seen it. I have not seen that. I've never heard of that. It's amazing when there's something like that exists and I'm like, I don't know what that is.
Starting point is 01:23:50 And it's basically every week, the host, whose name I cannot recall. Oh, it's Sasha. Her name is Sasha. And she goes through like a, she might go through the weekly comics, but she also might go through like an event, like in comics history and like explain it. And it's good fun. Better than we would? Yeah, better. Well, that's all I need.
Starting point is 01:24:07 That's right. So like during the 60s when like Wonder Woman lost her powers and became like a 60s super spy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was in vogue at the time. So she'll go through the whole thing or like, you know. Oh, cool. It's cool.
Starting point is 01:24:19 It's a cool series. I've just put a video in my watch later so I can watch it later. Nice. Let's talk about WandaVision, though. We can talk about the first three episodes. Do you want to do any spoilers? Let's do all spoilers. I agree.
Starting point is 01:24:30 Some spoilers. Question for people, though. We were thinking of maybe doing like a weekly recap thing. We can do our famous segment, who's watching the TV series WandaVision. We are. James and Maceo, weekly planet podcast. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:24:43 Yes. So that'll probably go up on YouTube with with like one of those wavy bars, speaking of Collins about it. Nice, nice. So if people want to see that. Like it's on WandaVision. Exactly. People want to see that, let us know because it seems like something that like
Starting point is 01:24:54 because it's an MCU thing and like I kind of want to talk about this more than just like every week go, oh, yeah, in passing, whatever. But so it's – so how do you feel about it? Because it's not your traditional uh mcu i really like it and what has surprised me about it is that there is a there is a new level of fan critique or like fan backlash that i wasn't expecting but in retrospect of course this would be a thing it's people who are mad because the show is exactly what it was promised to be. Like it's Wanda and Vision going through a series of sitcoms with an underlying like sinister secret to it.
Starting point is 01:25:34 It gets more sinister. Yeah, but it seems a lot of people are like, why aren't they punching anybody? Why isn't this Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.? They will. Yeah, they will eventually. But by like because the first two episodes came out, you know, in a block and I saw a lot of people like,
Starting point is 01:25:48 this is the worst thing that Marvel have ever made. No. It's like you can't sit for an hour without having anybody get punched or shoot a laser out of their head or whatever. Also, we're doing Inhumans this week for Caravan and Garbage. That is the worst thing that Marvel have ever made. Yeah, it sure is. Yeah, I agree.
Starting point is 01:26:03 And look, maybe it doesn't come together. Oh, well, we don't know yet. But for what I'm enjoying about it is, like, I watched a lot of I Love Lucy as a kid and seeing those recreations and just the absolute earnestness behind, like, the selling of the jokes and the performances. Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany are great at this. Dead on.
Starting point is 01:26:23 And, like, the mugging. Paul Bettany's very Rick Mayle. Yeah, he's got that vibe. I mean, he's not that young. He's in his 40s probably. 40 something, yeah. But I just find that they're really convincing as these sitcom era characters.
Starting point is 01:26:37 I loved the magic show in the second episode. I was just like completely captivated by this ridiculous farce. Because they sort of engineered a scenario in which the vision can't be his you know yeah normal stoic self and he's just a drunk guy essentially yeah yeah and i really and like the third episode is like your brady bunch era which is also not that is the year of sitcoms which i do not give a shit about like i hate that fucking era i think it's like saccharine. So episode one is basically The Honeymooners, I Love Lucy. And then episode two is Bewitched.
Starting point is 01:27:10 I Dream of Jenny. And then when we got what is pretty much the Brady Bunch and then 80s sitcom next. But I also really enjoyed that episode. And I loved the reveal of like just like Ultron gets fucking name dropped in the middle of a weird Brady Bunch episode. I like the show, but I think that a criticism that I have of it is that it does creeping suspense on the same level that it does action
Starting point is 01:27:37 in the sense that it's just a sledgehammer to the head. Like it's not, if you go back and rewatch them, it's not like there's an undercurrent of dread it's just pretty much regular sitcom regular sitcom regular sitcom that it's like that it's like your world is a lie your world is a lie that's like back to the dinner party yeah okay like it's just kind of really kind of but there are littler things but yeah i see what you're saying yeah yeah do you think that stark helicopter or whatever it is is like a real helicopter that came into the thing?
Starting point is 01:28:05 Oh, maybe. I mean, when should we start our rampant theorizing, James? I saw it now. I think she's making it all up and they've contained it and they've actually trapped real people in that town. It seems to – because it is a real town because, again, we're – okay, we're in spoilers. Yeah. At the end of episode 3 we do a pullback because the character Geraldine who seems to be, who's been
Starting point is 01:28:27 expelled by Wanda from the town ends up back outside it in the real world and we do see that there's a the actual town sign is there outside of this shimmering barrier and we have like modern day soldiers and modern day equipment and whatever And it's sword
Starting point is 01:28:42 Yeah, we've got the introduction of sword.W.O.R.D., which is like Space Shield. Why they're involved, I don't know. Maybe they have a different mandate in the MCU as opposed to in the comics, I don't know. But yeah, it seems as if my guess would be that Wanda has ended up in that town. She's had some sort of mental breakdown
Starting point is 01:29:01 and her powers have caused the town to be trapped in this reality alteraltering field. Yeah, absolutely. I think it would probably be like if there was a – has there ever been any indication that Wanda really likes old sitcoms or anything like that? Was there any old dialogue? I think maybe she might have grown – like from Sokovia,
Starting point is 01:29:17 she might have grown up on that kind of thing. Maybe we'll see a flashback to that effect, yeah. I feel like also the vision is probably not real. Yeah. Or like it's partially him, partially her because she got his corpse or whatever. Yeah, uh-huh. Oh, yeah, there might be a big reveal that his corpse is in the basement or something. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:29:32 I know that like he mentioned this week that Kevin Feige was talking about using that maybe as a stinger for the end of Endgame or maybe Infinity War or something like that. The WandaVision stuff? No, no, no. The Visions just show Vision's corpse to wow. Something's happening with this maybe. Okay, right. So I think that this also feels like something that you could not continue
Starting point is 01:29:49 into another season maybe. Not in this way obviously. Yeah, right. You could make a second season of something else happening. Yeah, right. But you can't do like do the sitcoms again or a different like we do dramas or whatever for decades. Yeah, right, right.
Starting point is 01:30:03 Soap operas. Soap operas or whatever, yeah. But look, yeah, you're right though. There is this thing of like it is exactly what they said it would be. Like this is what it is and this is what you're going to get and maybe something else is going on. Maybe Catherine Hahn will be a treasure and she is. She's a treasure.
Starting point is 01:30:17 She's a delight. She's like the Ethel or like she sort of seamlessly fits in everywhere. She's great. I mean the casting in general is really good and then you'll get like, I can't remember, I have no idea what her name is off the top of my head, the woman from that 70s show like makes an appearance. Yes. You know, things like that.
Starting point is 01:30:34 You get a lot of these like kind of sitcom like players. There are some surprisingly good sitcom-esque jokes. There's a moment in it where there's a very sort of like the woman who's the head of the PTA or the town planning committee or whatever, she walks into a room and she's like, does this lipstick make me look fat? And then the power cuts and the husband's like, oh, thank God. That's just a perfect just old-timey era sitcom joke.
Starting point is 01:31:01 I think that's what I also like about it is that they're not doing like newer jokes or whatever, which I think they will do because they get to like modern family. I think they're eventually getting to that. But it's not like they're not doing modern references. They're like straight honest to God like this joke would be in I Love Lucy kind of thing, you know what I mean, with Ricky Ricardo.
Starting point is 01:31:21 With Ricky Ricardo, yeah. Giving it a go. Do you notice any particular Easter eggs that might be of any significance? Well, there's the Stark toaster. You probably saw that. Yeah. I think there's some Stark tech involved with probably keeping the whole thing contained.
Starting point is 01:31:33 Well, yeah, I wonder how much of it is. The Beehive Man I think is like a guy trying to break in. I think he's trying to break into the. Okay. It's Monica Rambeau, by the way, the woman who was ejected, who's Captain Marvel's friend from – she was a little kid in the first Captain Marvel movie. Yes.
Starting point is 01:31:52 I don't know. But, yeah, I think she's obviously infiltrated it because they're like, she doesn't live here. She's just a person who – and they're trying to, like, explain what's going on, but they can't because their brains have been rewired or whatever. Yeah, right. explain what's going on, but they can't because their brains have been rewired or whatever.
Starting point is 01:32:03 Yeah, right. So the implication is that we've got Agatha Harkness in there who was a witch of some sort or other. So that's – I just said her name and now I've forgotten it again. Agatha Harkness. No, the actor. Catherine Hahn. Catherine Hahn, sorry.
Starting point is 01:32:20 Catherine Hahn. Like what is she? Oh, her husband might be the devil or something. People are talking about that or some kind of – Oh, Hahn, sorry. Catherine Hahn. Like what is she? Oh, her husband might be the devil or something. People are talking about that. Oh, okay, right. But that's also a very common trope in sitcoms too. You never see the husband. You never see the husband.
Starting point is 01:32:31 Like Niles' wife from Frasier, you never see. Yes. So maybe that could just be that as well. I think it might be, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, like we get a Strucker brand watch in one of the advertisements and it's rated to 1,000 metres. And initially I'm like, is there a bunker 1,000 metres under the ground
Starting point is 01:32:52 or something like that? Or is it just that Strucker technology? Yeah. You know what I mean? I do not know. Because that's quite deep for a watch. Yes, there's some AIM stuff as well. There's some AIM callbacks, I think.
Starting point is 01:33:03 Oh, was it Hydra? They mentioned Hydra. Yeah. It was like a Hydra food or something. I can't well. There's some AIM callbacks, I think. Oh, was it Hydra? They mentioned Hydra. Yeah. It was like a Hydra food or something. I can't remember. There was something going on. Yeah, I don't know whether these brands, though, are just – Hydra old-time stuff.
Starting point is 01:33:12 Yeah, we don't know to the extent – It could just be like things in her memory that are just like – Yeah. Just firing out as commercials. That's why it's so intriguing, James. Intriguing, Mason. There is a moment. You might be able to find it if you look it up.
Starting point is 01:33:22 In the Bewitched episode episode they're in the opening sequence you see vision sort of walks through a bunch of walls as he gets dressed to to go to work and they're in one of the uh like in the rafters of the house there is a silhouette that looks like the helmet of the villain grim reaper oh okay. Who in the comic books is the brother of Simon Williams, who is Wonder Man. Wonder Man is the character upon whom the Vision's brainwaves are based. Oh, okay, right. So that's a real stretch, and if that is the case,
Starting point is 01:33:55 how are they going to link that in? Yeah. Maybe not at all. I think the Vision is going to be like it's going to be his body and some of his memories, and Wanda's like filling in the blanks. Yeah, right. That's what I think. Oh, do you think there's going to be like it's going to be his body and some of his memories and Wanda's like filling in the blanks. Yeah, right. That's what I think. Do you think there's going to be a big reveal where he's just walking
Starting point is 01:34:09 around with a big hole in his head? Yes. Yeah, there might be. Oh, boy. What do you think about the kids? What are they going to do? What's the – Yeah, I don't know because they've got kids in the –
Starting point is 01:34:17 How did she get pregnant? They've got kids in the – I mean, Bonin probably. I mean, she can will it probably because she can alter reality. Because they were magic in the comic books. Yeah, something like that. I can't remember. Weren't they a boy and a girl in the comics? I can't remember. I think they Bonin probably. I mean, she can will it probably because she can alter reality. Because they were magic in the comic books. Yeah, something like that. I can't remember. Weren't they a boy and a girl in the comics?
Starting point is 01:34:28 I think they were two boys. Okay, I don't remember. Oh, yeah, because she's a twin. She's a boy and a girl. Yeah, I think we're going to get Quicksilver and maybe even the X-Men Quicksilver as well. Yeah, maybe. I think we're going to get all sorts of weird multidimensional stuff
Starting point is 01:34:43 that's also going to lead into Doctor Strange and then there's going to be a big battle with the army or whatever. Do you think, and it's probably too early to tell, but do you think that this is the series that is going to give us an in for mutants? Maybe. Because I think, as we probably mentioned, there's a famous comic book storyline in which Scarlet Witch says, she uses her powers and she says no more mutants.
Starting point is 01:35:05 Yeah. And basically all the mutants in the world are eliminated. She goes, yeah. She goes, yeah, I've done it. Because I love the Inhumans or whatever. Exactly right. So I wonder if maybe they'll do a reverse of that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:35:15 She'd be like, heaps of mutants. Please, if you could. Yeah. Or she accidentally creates them or merges a dimension or I don't know. But, yeah. Or bloody the next door neighbor does. Am I right, guys? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:35:27 Yeah. Good stuff all around. I think so. I mean, I wish it was longer and I wish they were all at once. That's the only thing. Because I feel like this would be something I'd want to watch through, not 27 minutes each week. Well, I'm kind of excited to watch the new episode.
Starting point is 01:35:36 There is that as well. I know that. But also, like, I just want to see it all. Just like a new episode of I Love Lucy. Exactly. I'd get home from school and they'd be on at like 5.30 or something. I remember. Yeah. Good show. home from school and they'd be on at like 5.30 or something. Yeah, I remember. Good show.
Starting point is 01:35:47 Good show. Chocolate Factory, remember? Yes. She's eating too many chocolates. It's a good gag. They're getting Nicole Kidman to be cast as Lucy in the Lucy bio. I thought they were going to do one of those horrible Bewitched things where they're like live action.
Starting point is 01:36:00 You know, like she did the Bewitched movie? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Where it was just like a- No, they're going to do horrible live action Lucille Ball biopic, but Nicole Kidman. Famously frozen face Nicole Kidman. She's less frozen face now. These days, it's true, yeah.
Starting point is 01:36:12 I don't know what they're doing. They've tweaked some something. I don't know. I don't know. Tweaked some wires. I don't know how faces work, but yeah. There you go. Very interesting.
Starting point is 01:36:21 She's not got Deborah Messing. That's all I'm saying. Yeah, that's a good choice as well. But Nicole Kidman, more famous actor. That is true, yeah. Exactly. Should we move to the next segment of the show? Let's do it.
Starting point is 01:36:31 Next segment? Yeah. It's loading. Loading right now. 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.
Starting point is 01:36:46 We're going to do letters. Mason, before we do the letters segment, you forgot to mention one thing, you fucking idiot. It's true, I did. Sorry, that was rude. No, but it's true, though. You idiot. I also watched the new episode of Gamey Gamey Game. I haven't watched that yet.
Starting point is 01:36:59 Our friends over at Gamey Gamey Game, they have a video series on YouTube. It's a show. It's a whole big new show. They've got a whole new set. It's about video games sometimes. Yeah. It's YouTube. It's a show. It's a whole big new show. They've got a whole new set. It's about video games sometimes. Yeah. It's great. It's really good.
Starting point is 01:37:07 It's funny. It's good stuff. It's derailing Evan, which I thoroughly enjoy. Yeah. He's a good sport about it. He's a great sport. Yeah, but they talk about the hot, hot new game Hades, which I haven't played. I've got to play that.
Starting point is 01:37:18 And other things. I'm still playing Need for Speed Hot Pursuit. It's from 2010 when they remastered it. It's on the Switch. I love it. Well, anyway, it'suit. It's from 2010 when they remastered it and it's on the Switch. I love it. Well, anyway, it's good. It's a great show. This week it has Naomi Higgins from Batch Bitches on there.
Starting point is 01:37:31 Awesome. Jess Perkins from Do Go On is on there. No, she's great. She's the best. And Xavier Michaelis from Comedy. Oh, my goodness. Never met him, but also probably nice. Very great.
Starting point is 01:37:40 And also Evan's there. It's really good. He's good. He's good, isn't he? But anyway, that's back. And yeah, they've got a new set. Even bigger screens. Are they allowed to do that?
Starting point is 01:37:48 Bigger screens. Yeah. I don't know, but it's not stopped them before. Bigger screams? Much bigger screams. Wow, because they love content, don't they? Yeah, that's true. Anyway, that's a great show.
Starting point is 01:37:55 But anyway, letters. If you do want to reach the show, hashtag Weekly Planet Pod on Twitter or weeklyplanetpod at gmail.com. That's right. Do we want to talk about audio stuff now? Yeah, let's throw that out there. Let's do it.
Starting point is 01:38:06 Okay, this is a mistake, but let's do it. What are we doing? Why did you want to do this? Because we started doing Unsuggestible, and it's fun. Oh, okay, right. But Suggestible is a much less successful podcast. I understand. So apparently you're doing Suggestible,
Starting point is 01:38:17 and I'm explaining this even though you do it. It's fine. Is people email in audio clips of themselves? Voice memos. Voice memos from your telephone. Voice mail. It's like they're calling in and leaving a message on a hotline. That's right.
Starting point is 01:38:29 And we'll have the hottest line. So apparently you guys, you listen to ones, you find some great ones, you put them on the podcast and then maybe people are asking questions and you're answering those questions. That's right. We decided we will probably attempt this also on this podcast. We've done a little twist. Every week we will do two pieces of voicemail,
Starting point is 01:38:51 one of which we will screen in advance and one of which we will not screen in advance. That's right, exactly. So one, we will have a prepared answer presumably and we'll make sure that it's not from a lunatic. Yes. And one, no guarantee. We just don't know.
Starting point is 01:39:04 We just don't know. And the thing is as well, there'll be a lot of like, we should have screened that one obviously. Sure, yeah. Or we wouldn't have picked that one because it was boring. But we'll have to just go through with it. And you know what? No holds barred, no kid gloves.
Starting point is 01:39:16 Exactly. If you're sending it through, you are opening yourself up. If your voicemail is boring. Yeah. But anyway. Also, if you could keep them like 30 seconds. Yeah. Because if they're really long, we're just not going to open them at all.
Starting point is 01:39:27 And in English, ideally. Oh, yeah. That's, sorry, but we don't speak anything else. So apologies for that. That's our ignorance. Obviously. Unless you can keep, maybe Italian and phrases that are limited to what can be found in the primary school Australian Italian book, Avanti.
Starting point is 01:39:46 Exactly. Which is how we all learned Italian. And you go into the canteen, but in Italian or whatever that book is about. Stupid book. How can you learn Italian for like a decade at school here and just know none? Wow. Which is like everybody we know. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:40:02 Unless you're actually Italian and then you just know it because you grew up with it. Anyway, it's a failure of the school system and not me. Anyway, so we are assuming that you know how to record a voice memo of some sort and attach it to an email and send it to weeklyplanetpod at gmail.com. Yes. But in the meantime, here's a few just boring regular old emails. Yeah. But I'm going to read them anyway because the printed word has a certain magic for me as well, James. Sure.
Starting point is 01:40:27 No, not for you. No, I don't like it. Not as much as a first-time. I hate it. But anyway, this is from Sean Sparks. He says, Big Sandwich is the best medicine. Yes. Hello, chums.
Starting point is 01:40:35 Earlier this week, I realized I couldn't smell or taste my breakfast, scrambled, like the eggs, to get a rapid COVID test, and it was positive. I know. I think the worst has passed, but I still have to quarantine for two weeks. I've been watching a lot of TV, and I got around to WW84, but tonight I decided to spend my sweet, sweet sick pay on a big sandwich subscription, and I'm now going along with the Age of Ultron commentary. The movie's making me feel worse,
Starting point is 01:40:58 but you're bagging on Jeremy Renner and Hawkeye are cancelling that out. I do not remember recording that. What year did we record that? 100 years ago? 100 years ago, yeah. I've been listening to the pod for years, but it's all up on bigsandwich.co. That's right.
Starting point is 01:41:08 They're all there. So much back catalogue. I've been listening to the pod for years, and I appreciate everything you guys do, and I would really appreciate one of Mason's famous shout-outs. Well, then you've got one, my friend. You've got a big shout-out from me. He's got it just then.
Starting point is 01:41:19 And P.S. I declare myself the official Sparky of the podcast. I assume because his name's Sean Sparks, not because he's an electrician. It could be that, though. It could be both. Maybe he's one of those guys that... Is that an Australian expression? Sparky.
Starting point is 01:41:30 Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's not like something they do in other countries or whatever. Maybe. The US or UK where this is probably from. I don't know. It doesn't say. But anyway, I'm glad you're on the mend. Me too.
Starting point is 01:41:40 I hope your mouth... I was going to say your mouth hearing comes back. Taste. Sense of taste. It is late at night, isn was going to say your mouth hearing comes back. Taste, sense of taste. It is late at night, isn't it? Oh, my God. It's from Ari Katz. What do you think of remastering comics like video games? For example, re-releasing something like Watchmen with new art
Starting point is 01:41:55 that would appeal more to modern readers. Hashtag weekly planter pod. Now, they do do this for a lot of digital stuff from like the 60s. They were like. But is it recolored? It's mostly recoloured, right? Yeah. So I guess it's not a remaster in that sense.
Starting point is 01:42:09 No. But what do you think though? What do you update then? Do you then update the, because they're so integral, they're so ingrained, the art and the pictures. I think maybe it could work as an experiment, but I think for me that would only work if, you know, it'd have to be a comic that isn't widely regarded as a classic.
Starting point is 01:42:28 Maybe it's just like some old, you know, pre-Marvel, like some timely Marvel or whatever, where the comic is good, but the art is terrible. And I kind of feel like it would be kind of a slap in the face to whoever wrote or drew it, depending on what they kind of thing so they'd have to all be dead yep as well good or like you know do you want to watch like do you want to see like a hyper realistic like watchman kind of no i mean either or maybe maybe they could update frank miller's the dark knight strikes the sequel, which has terrible art. I guess what you could, I mean, there are certainly artists where when they started doing indie comics and their art wasn't particularly great, and then over the years they've actually gotten better. There's a guy called Matt Wagner who wrote a bunch of,
Starting point is 01:43:17 he's written and drawn a bunch of stuff. He's probably most famous for a character called Grendel who's like an assassin. And his early stuff, like the art is not good. Yeah. But like the modern day stuff is great. And I would wonder if he would like, you know, go back to his old comics and, you know, remaster that.
Starting point is 01:43:34 I guess that's different because like, yeah, because he's like, yeah, I hate this and I want to redo it. Well, because it's his own stuff. I don't even know if he does hate it. Did he do Mage? He did do Mage. The hero defined and the hero something else. Wow, that is pretty grim, the art.
Starting point is 01:43:48 Is it? Unless it's brand new. Oh, dear. Yeah, so I don't know. Look, I am in fact, like oftentimes they will do like, sometimes they'll call it like absolute, they'll do absolute Watchmen, which is like they'll remaster the colouring or something like that.
Starting point is 01:44:05 Sure. Which, again, you know. But a lot of that stuff, though, like colouring, whether the colourist was good or not, the colouring technology at the time was quite bad. Yeah, exactly. You know, if you read it, like you look at an old comic from the 60s, a lot of the colouring you look at, it's like those tiny dots.
Starting point is 01:44:21 Yeah, it's not actually a fill. But now they can do a full fill, like a digital fill on everything. Yeah. And some stuff I've seen that they've done that to has been really good. So that I'm in favour of. Yeah, but not like a full redraw necessarily. Unless the person would maybe want to try it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:44:38 I don't know. For video games I'm like, yeah, do it, remake it. But there's something about this that I don't like. How about this though? What about because I guess the implication is that old art is bad and newer art is good or like modern artists are better sure what if you got like a classic 60s spider-man comic and you got alex ross to do painted art yeah i think that because there's there would be no, I don't think, the leap there is so vast and also like he's such a, Alex Ross is such like a special case.
Starting point is 01:45:11 It's a unique kind of. You wouldn't be like, well, obviously, you know, it is better, but I think you'd be like, well, you'd look at it and you'd go, well, he's honouring this legendary comic by giving it a legendary set of artwork or whatever. Yeah. So maybe that would work. But then maybe they'd be like, he's honouring this legendary comic by giving it a legendary set of artwork or whatever. Yeah. So maybe that would work. But then maybe they'd be like,
Starting point is 01:45:27 he's still slapping the face of bloody John Romita Senior. True. But it's also a thing of like the original exists if you want it. Yeah, that's true. It would be an interesting experiment. What a good question. I agree. I think it's a very good question.
Starting point is 01:45:39 Do you have another good question or email? I have a couple. Wait, is this printed? These are both printed. I've got two more. They're both printed. This is from Chloe. I mean, nobody sent us one yet.
Starting point is 01:45:48 Yeah, it's true. Jesus Christ. God, get on the ball. We are slipping. Get on the ball, folks. And us. Yeah, and us. This is from Chloe Hanson.
Starting point is 01:45:54 She says, love living with you guys. Hey, guys, I feel like I'm- Hey, guys, I feel like I'm- I live in the wall. Oh, my God. I'm going to call the police. The phone lines have been cut. She's taken a SIM out of my phone.
Starting point is 01:46:08 I feel like I'm living with you both. My boyfriend listens to your podcast with every spare moment, walks through the house blurring your banter, talks about you like your old friends. It's like you're always here with us. I hope you read this email because I know he'll be listening and I hope he realizes who he is. Much love.
Starting point is 01:46:22 I also enjoy your content immensely. This is from Chloe. Thank you, Chloe. Very much. I'm glad you're not living in our wall. That's really good. Maybe they're both living in the wall. Maybe both of you guys are walking in the walls.
Starting point is 01:46:31 Have you ever seen this hidden camera footage of this dude living in the ceiling of someone's apartment and they think they've got rats, but it's like a dude living in the ceiling? Maybe I've seen one of those. That's no good. It's a real WandaVision situation. It really is. If you're living in my ceiling, get out of there. But not when I'm home.
Starting point is 01:46:46 Just do it when I'm out. I don't want to know about it. Just leave. I've got Ashley Loves WandaVision post here. This says, so this is in relation to something I think you'll pick up on this. Hashtag Weekly Planet Pod. Whoever told Bruce Willis to fuck off deserves a shout out on the next Weekly Planet Podcast. So I know people saw this.
Starting point is 01:47:03 We got tweeted a bunch. But Bruce Willis was asked to leave a pharmacy for not wearing a mask. I did say that, yes. He was also wearing one of those celebrity scarves. So I think like – so my question is I don't want to like jump on this immediately and be like, what a moron. He's doing this on purpose or whatever. Because also we make fun of his movies.
Starting point is 01:47:21 But I think this could have been like an honest mistake. Right, yeah, yeah. Or maybe he just did it on purpose. I have no idea. Maybe he's an old guy and he forgets sometimes. Yeah, exactly. You know, you talked about how his daughter mentioned that he's deaf. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:47:32 Maybe as well, and that's something that, you know, he struggles with and whatever. But, yeah, put a mask on Bruce Willis, obviously. But did you get tweeted that some amount of times? A couple of times, yeah, yeah. So there you go. Any thoughts on it, Mason? Put on a mask, Bruce Willis?
Starting point is 01:47:44 Actually, I've got two more emails. One's from Fidel Reyes, who is one of the moderators on the Planet Broadcasting Great Maze Facebook group. Oh, yeah. He sent an email. WandaVision, first thoughts.
Starting point is 01:47:53 To which I would say, Fidel, you can just message me. It's probably... Directly. Directly, it's fine. Put it in the group chat. Hi, James and Mason. I hope you're doing well
Starting point is 01:48:01 and starting off the year well. These episodes were very fun, and while I think people should be more patient with letting stories develop, I can understand why some would find this frustrating. It does feel like the first act of a movie, but certain answers to people's thoughts are on the way. No doubt, probably.
Starting point is 01:48:14 After all, it's called WandaVision. We are technically seeing things from her point of view. Oh, my goodness. I enjoyed it a lot since I love these characters and shows like I Love Lucy, and based on the trailers, I can't wait for it to start turning into something less Lucille Ball and more David Lynch-esque. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:48:28 Or like a Legion kind of feel, you know what I mean? Do you think we're going to run – this has just occurred to me now. Do you think we've got to – because we're sort of – we will run out of eras. Yes. Like in a couple of episodes. Yes. So it must become like quite David Lynch-ian.
Starting point is 01:48:44 Yeah, because it's going to be – we've got the 80s, we've got the 90s, we've got the 2000s. Modern families. And then we've got, I guess we could do the 2010s, whatever that looks like. We'll just do Young Sheldon. But that leaves at least two or three episodes of like, we're out of eras.
Starting point is 01:48:57 Yeah. It's going to go crazy. Exactly. And that'll be, there's your lasers shooting out of people's heads. There's your laser craziness you wanted from day one. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, there you go. Yeah. Thank you, Fidel. Thank you. Just message me. Just message him. It's just fine of people's heads. There's your laser craziness you wanted from day one. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, there you go. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:49:05 Thank you, Fidel. Thank you. Just message me. Just message him. It's just fine. It's fine. Shoot him a text. Shoot him a text.
Starting point is 01:49:12 And I got one more email. It's from Ryan. He says, with the subject line, maybe the best Matrix take I've ever heard. Oh, did we have it? That's unlikely. Let's find out. Spoiler alert, we don't. So the bad times of 2020 haven't stopped
Starting point is 01:49:28 and they've swam right into 2021 to cause havoc, he said. But you're not my counsellor, so I'll tell you this instead. My best friend is 25 and has only just watched The Matrix this weekend. During this, he confessed for the last 20 years he thought the main character was called Neil. Maybe this isn't that funny. Maybe I'm losing my mind. No, that's really funny.
Starting point is 01:49:47 It is funny, but we're also losing our minds. But I could not for the life of me stop laughing at the thought of the one, the epic hero to save humanity might be called Neil, especially the scene when Smith has him in front of the train and then he screams back, my name is Neil. I hope you're all keeping well.
Starting point is 01:50:02 Stay safe, boys. We will. Thank you. That's great stuff. Did he pick as well? It's not like his real name. He's like, I'm not Thomas Anderson. I'm calling myself Neil.
Starting point is 01:50:12 Very good. That's incredible. I hope we can riff on that. We don't need to riff on that. No, that's as good as it is, mate. That is self-contained, just good stuff. I can't do anything with that. That's what happens.
Starting point is 01:50:21 I consider James the spoken word to be entertaining or whatever I said it was earlier. I agree. You anything with that. That's what happens. I consider James the spoken word to be entertaining or whatever I said it was earlier. I agree. You know? Good. That's why these voice memos are going to go really well or we're going to do it for a week and then cancel it. I agree with that also.
