Anyway, welcome back everybody to another episode of The Weekly Planet. Just a tweak. What do you mean a tweak? Just that butthole thing. It's like it doesn't help. It hinders Mason. Well, I'm going to chop that out of context and put it on Twitter or something. The show where we talk movies and comics and TV shows.

It's not as rude as you'd think. My name is James, also known as Mr. Sunday. With me as always is my co-host, Nick Mason. It's not as rude as you'd think. It's rude as you'd think. If you're a first-time listener. Great tagline, yeah. I agree.

So, yeah, this week we've got a bunch of stuff to talk about, don't we, Mason? Yes. We're going to talk a little bit about some Disney Plus news. What might be coming there? Tom Holland wig news. Oh, my goodness. That's all there. It's just all in one. some Disney Plus news. What might be coming there? Tom Holland wig news. Oh, my goodness. That's all there and just all in one. Face-off news.

Gina Carano news. I'm sure a lot of people have heard about that. Casting for The Last of Us, Sonic 2. What else have we got here? Captain Marvel casting. We've got our first look at the Joker and the new Justice League trailer, which we haven't actually seen yet at the time of this going out. But by the time you people hear it, it will have come out.

That's exactly right. Last week we thought to ourselves, oh, we should record the podcast, make sure we get it out on time, and then the Super Bowl is going to hit and there's going to be just so many. A swath. There's going to be a swath of incredible trailers and ads and things that we're going to need to talk about, so we'll do a bonus episode and we'll chuck it out.

And then we watched it and we're like, nothing. It's like one trailer for the Winter Soldier. Fast 9 came out. No, that looked good. Did you watch the Winter Soldier trailer? I did. Yeah, and? It looked pretty good.

It looked pretty good. I mean, there wasn't a lot more in terms of action reveals. It's light on story details, which I appreciate. Which I guess WandaVision as well was going in. That's true, yeah. Speaking of, our latest recap is up. And if you like us cracking open a big chocolate surprise. If you like us receiving bribes, you'll love

that video. In the form of a thing we mostly didn't eat because we're old men. That's exactly right. But no, we appreciate that. With poor metabolisms and weak teeth. Exactly. So yeah, but Marvel sent us a Valentine's gift, perhaps assuming we're a couple. Yeah, which is fine.

I'm okay with that. As long as we get more gifts. Yeah. I don't care. That's exactly right. We'll claim to be anything. We don't give a shit. Yeah.

Speaking of, though. What I was going to say. What I was going to say. No, what I was going to say. This is what I guys going to talk about wandavision we do it's on youtube yeah it's on youtube exactly every week every uh saturday collings edits that together like a madman and then you put a spoilerific thumbnail get the fuck out of here with that spoilerific uh-huh look james get off the internet look i can understand

why maybe that's a minor spoiler but don't go off the internet. Look, I can understand why. Maybe that's a minor spoiler, but don't go on the internet if you haven't seen it. I can't be any more direct than that. Get off the internet. You could be more direct. Not really. You could individually, you know.

Oh, that would be very direct. Or even in person. Yeah, for sure. That would be more. But no, there's much more spoiler stuff in that episode that people will see if you haven't seen it. Spoiler alert, I guess. There's something more spoiler stuff in that episode that people will see. If you haven't seen it, spoiler alert, I guess. There's something direct for you. But no, Disney Plus have reached 95 million subs this week.

They wanted 90 million in four years. So that is ahead. And Bob Chapek said this to Deadline that Black Widow, they're going to be watching, seeing the reopening of theaters and consumer sentiment in terms of going back to theatres. So I would say this is probably going to have a dual release. Maybe not in May. Maybe they'll push it back again, but I don't think it can be pushed

back any more time than one more. We want our Marvel stuff. And also presumably because they're tying TV and movie continuity together in a lot of ways. If they knock out WandaVision and Falcon and the Winter Soldier and we still haven't seen anything, it's going to screw up the timelines, I would imagine. Exactly.

The references. The Easter eggs. The T-shirts that people are wearing. The red circles. Yes. Yeah, all those arrows. Exactly. So I just want to see it at this point.

I'm not even hyped. I'm just like, just put it out so we can move forward, please. Yeah. So we can all just move on with our lives. Exactly. So I just want to see it at this point. I'm not even hyped. I'm just like, just put it out so we can move forward, please. Yeah. So we can all just move on with our lives. Yeah. It's been well over a year since when it was supposed to come out, and she died two years ago. Yeah.

Spoiler alert for that. But no. You're right. It's not. It's. And I guess that. Because I want to see Eternals and I want to see Shang-Chi, which means we have to see this one.

We have to get through this one. Which is probably, I hope it's good. It's probably pretty good, but it's not, it's not a game-changing concept. No. Because it's basically just a Captain America movie again, we assume at this point. We don't know, maybe they're going to make some big changes, maybe they're going to reveal she's still alive or she's come back to life or there's

a clone or something like that. But beyond that, it's someone with a lot of kung fu and good reflexes fighting other people with kung fu and good reflexes. For the most part, yeah. It seems that way, doesn't it? I got some Tom Holland wig news. I promise that up top. I don't know if you know this, but he actually walked into the new movie with his uncharted hair and a bit of his uncharted Nathan Drake swagger.

The Nathan Drake attitude. Exactly, that you might see in a video game. And also, like, his pants were wet up to the knees, like Nathan Drake's often are. And they said, you've brought too much Nathan Drake to this role. And he was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What should I say? Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Oh, oh. Looks a lordy, he said. Which is Nathan Drake's signature sound when he's about to fall off a ledge. When he's about to fall off a thing, yeah. So what I've done, there's a quote from Tom Holland about how he wanted to keep his Nathan Drake hair because they wanted him to keep a wig. And I've actually sent this quote over to Mason.

Oh, you've emailed it to me. Okay, I'll just check it out. That's right, because he does a better Tom Holland voice than I do. Okay. And even though you haven't read this, I'd like you to give it a go. Okay. Yeah. Me hair in Uncharted is much cooler, he stated.

I have cool shaved sides and it's slick at the back. And that's not very Peter Parker. He's a bit of a loser. So they put this wig on me that was just around the sides. For the first time in me life, I put my foot down as the leading actor and I was like, I'm not flipping wearing that wig. You can just, I'm going to have shorter hair and you're going to have to deal with it.

This guy's getting real. Right? Yeah. He'll say anything. He'll say anything. He doesn't fear cancel culture. He'll wear a wig that's a bit short around the sides. So I changed, it was a different F word, but I changed it to flipping

because I thought it would be funnier. I understand. Also, you're not a big fan of swearing, so I didn't want to put that on you. You know what I mean? I understand. So what do you think about that? I would have worked in, I would have been probably around it.

I know you would have, Mason. I wasn't trying to trick you. Okay. But do you notice every now and then there's a thread in Reddit or something that's like, do you notice Mason doesn't really swear that much? Do you notice that? People are like, yes, we know. Yeah, and they're like, why don't you call him Nathan Mason, Nathan, Nathan.

Because I'm drunk, obviously, Nathan. We've got another bit of news though. Well, Melbourne's two days into third lockdown. Third, it feels like forever. And we might be coming out of it midweek Or we might stay in it forever We'll just see what happens Won't we? It's okay

I bought some toilet paper Yep And I bought a box of donuts So I'll be fine for weeks That's right I'll be fine You freezing them Or are you just keeping it out on the bench?

The toilet paper Yeah I was going to say Yep Alright we've got to The answer is I've eaten it all. Everything I've purchased, I've eaten it. So did you know that Adam Wingard, who directed The Guest

and the upcoming Godzilla vs. King Kongery, he's making a face-off movie, it was announced this week. They went down to King Kongery. They did. We've got to stop Godzilla somehow. We went down to King Kongery. That's right. So he's working on what was called a Face-Off reboot.

Ah. But then it was revealed this week that it's actually going to be, wait for it, don't you have to wait, it's a direct sequel. Ah. What do you think of that? It's a sequel to the original Face-Off, John Woo's Face-Off. That's right. Starring Travolta and Cage.

Now. Does that mean Travolta and Cage are back? I guess so. But I guess, well, the thing is. Unless. Spoilers for Face-Off. Unless, James guess so. But I guess, well, the thing is. Unless. Spoilers for Face Off. Unless, James, how about this? How about this, James?

Yeah. Oh, because the bad guy dies at the end of Face Off. Yeah, but they got his face still. Yeah. Did they really? Yeah, because he was wearing it at the end. They had to take him off and swap it with the John Travolta face at the end. How about this?

They got his face in storage. It's modern day Face Off. It's too unrelated. Maybe we get some stars of today. We get Holland and Chalamet or whatever. Sure. Do you really noticing if they're facing off though? Well, that's the thing, James. We don't swap their faces. They still have

Travolta and Cage's faces in storage a la The Mask. They're filled with evil magic. Oh, okay. And they put those faces on. They become those characters. Cast of Troy and whoever John Travolta played. Yeah. Evil cast of Troy. whoever John Travolta played. Yeah. Evil Cast of Troy. You excited for this?

Yes. I think there's a good chance it will be better but also worse at the same time. An unmitigated disaster. Yes, I agree. Yeah, so I mean I guess we're doing another face-off and I think it's better to do a sequel. There's your title. Yeah. I guess we're doing another face-off.

Do you think it's going to be like John Travolta is head of the face-off organisation? Oh, it's just been constant. We've talked about this before, I think. What's that? Just constant facing off. Just everyone. And somebody turned into a horrible monster, I think,

the last time we discussed it. Too many faces? Yeah, too many faces. Just stacking faces up. Just stacking, yeah. Okay, cool. If they could work in that meme where somebody's crying and then they're wearing the happy mask on top into the movie,

I'd love that. They've reached a point, they've been using this face-off technology for so long that whenever somebody goes to buy drugs or something like that in an alley, they're like, are you using face-off technology? Is that you, a guy with a different face? Do you want like a trench coat full of faces, like of loose faces? Yep, yep. You get a black market one?

Yeah. I love it. I love face-off, I think. That's a great concept. I think. Let's drive it into the ground. It wasn't black market one. Yeah. I love it. I love face-off, I think. That's a great concept. I think. Let's drive it into the ground. It wasn't driven into the ground enough. I agree.

Well, they never did anything with it after, did they? Yeah, yeah. Someone's got to. You're like, okay, what I need, I need a new face because I'm going to be doing some face-off stuff, obviously. And I'm going to need a basket of doves. I'm going to need two gold handguns. Yep, yep, yep. And I'm going to need- I need some clips, but'm going to need two gold handguns. Yep, yep, yep.

And I'm going to need. I need some clips, but like in like a gun belt. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. Gold clips. Gold clips, yeah, yeah. And I'm going to need some sort of springboard that I can leap off in slow motion. Yeah, very good.

I like that. I like that. It's going to be so much face-offing. And that's what I'm looking forward to, I think, the most. Do you think they could maybe do a gender swap? Or do you think that's too much? Yeah, we've talked about it. We've done this, haven't we?

David Harbour and a small lady of some sort. I'm not sure who it was. Someone from Game of Thrones, maybe. Probably, yeah. Probably Emilia Clarke or the X-Men girl. You might be right. Okay, here we go. So people would have heard this this week because it was big news.

Gina Carano was fired. Well, I guess not really fired from, I'll read the. Okay, here we go. So people would have heard this this week because it was big news. Gina Carano was fired. Well, I guess not really fired from, oh, I'll read the quote from Lucasfilm. There's a bit to kind of work through with this because it's a real saga of things that I just fucking love just chipping apart. We just love talking about this. And then getting the comments in the Facebook groups and people screaming about cancel culture and whatever when maybe it's consequence culture for some people. We love it. Who are we to say? We love it.

We just love it. But Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm. There are no plans for her to be in the future. So basically it means that she'd finished her run on The Mandalorian Season 2. There were rumours that that Ranger of the New Republic show was going to be built around that character, but they didn't end up announcing that because it's some questionable stuff

she'd been posting online, so they delayed that. So I guess technically not let go but not rehired, I guess, but it's fired really. Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on the culture and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable. And for the final nail in the coffin, because it seemed to be that a lot of people have mentioned this, including the Hollywood Reporter, that there are a number of things that were kind of led up to this and that Lucasfilm were looking for the last thing to kind of like... Yeah, it's kind of a saturation of events, I guess.

So the quote from the Hollywood Reporter is... James, please. Hollyweird Reporter. Thank you. I appreciate that. Sorry, sorry, sorry. The liberal left rag reporter. Got him, got appreciate that. Sorry, sorry, sorry. The liberal left rag reporter. Got him, got him.

Got him, got him. She was on an unofficial probationary status. Okay. And they're keeping her close on. That's why she had that pea plate on her the whole time in that show. That's why she could only carry one passenger at a time. That's right. So they're monitoring her behaviour moving forward

and waiting for a reason to fire her. So it seems that the straw that broke the dewbacks back. Ah, very good. There you go, Star Wars, thank you. Keeping it light. Keeping it light. Keeping it light. Yeah.

We love this. Just a bit of entertainment fluff. She made a comparison between rounding up Jews in Nazi Germany to being a Republican. She didn't say that, though. She put up a post of somebody else saying it. Yeah, exactly, yes. Which you've got to be clear.

I guess that's true. She didn't technically say it. She didn't say anything. She just put this up on her public social media for everyone to see. Exactly. Do you have a direct quote of that? I don't have it in front of me because I don't really want to read that either because, to be honest, it's obviously complete horseshit.

I mean, you can think what you want, but that's obviously not true. And if you're working for Disney. Yeah. So off the back of that also she made some trans comments that she later ended up walking back and apologising for. She's been anti-vax and anti-mask, but again, like reposts and whatever. But also, to be fair, she has supported Black Lives Matter before. She's raised money for various charities and things like that.

She's not a wholly terrible person, but at the same time, like you work for a company and there's a, like they have a series of rules and guidelines that you have to abide by. Just like we do Mason. Huh? And I haven't broken any yet. Not yet.

Huh? Neither have I though. We can both fire each other at any minute. We're just waiting to see who will do it first. So, yeah, to me this feels more like a contract violation than like. Yeah. Because it's a private organisation. Here's the thing, though.

Maybe it's publicly listed. My guess would be that, I mean, I'm sure, my guess would be it's a contract violation and a lot of, there's probably a lot of stuff where people do, you know, violate their contract in a small way or they say something stupid or whatever and people go – and the people upstairs are like, yeah, people still like them, so whatever. But I would imagine something she said this week specifically annoyed like very much a higher up because the statement that Disney said,

you said it earlier, was like what she said was abhorrent. Yes. Which is like that's kind of a PR kiss of death. Yeah. Like normally it'll say something like what this person put on their social media. Does not reflect to them.

Yeah, does not align with our interests or whatever. But, you know, good luck with future projects or whatever. Yeah. But to say that, you know, my guess is that word got up to somebody at the top who was like. I saw rumours that it was Jon Favreau as well was involved because he's Jewish. But, again, that's like these are rumours.

We don't know. I'm sure it didn't. I don't think it came from one person. I think it was a group decision. Yeah, and they went, this is bad for us. Yeah, we can't put a show around this person. And you know what? I think it is a shame because I liked her in the show.

Like genuinely, I thought she was a good character and a good inclusion. And, you know, like even the last episode she was in, you know, there was a good moment where they saw the show. She always said what you were thinking. She always said exactly what I was thinking. But the strange thing is as well that I find is a lot of the people who are defending her now, which, of course, you have your right to do, and I'm not against that.

Do whatever you want. Just fucking don't tell me about it every goddamn day. But a lot of people were originally like, oh, she's just a Mary Sue. She's just showed up to be stronger than the Mandalorian and beat him up and whatever. But then when they see that maybe some of the views align with maybe what some people think, that's been flipped around and there's examples of people tweeting like against her

and now coming back and being around like, cancel cult's just gone crazy and Catholic. I wonder how many of those people, and we don't have this information here, but I wonder how many of those people were like, get rid of Kelly Marie Tran because of. I'm sure it's all in the same sphere. In a way. But in a way, though, she's also bounced back

because she's working with Ben Shapiro to develop and produce a movie. they're talking about it's a it's a big like we can't cancel us because we're we're back or whatever she said she's only just been gone to use my voice which is now freer than ever before and i want to inspire others do the same um sorry i hope to inspire inspire others do the same they can't cancel us if we don't let them so there there you go. Work with that very normal man. And let's go on. Just a real rational being, do you know what I mean? Yeah, that's right. Let's move on to other casting news. Speaking of The Mandalorian,

Pedro Pascal has been cast as Joel in The Last of Us. Yeah. In fact, Joel and Ellie are both Game of Thrones. They are because Bella Ramsey is playing Ellie, who played the little angry girl. Remember her? Yes, I do. So that's excellent casting all around. Yeah, that's cool.

Could this be a good one? I mean, it's a show. Did we talk about Borderlands? Oh, we can. So it's Jack Black, Jamie Lee Curtis. Cate Blanchett. Cate Blanchett. Was that the three that was this week?

I think so, yeah. And I think Kevin Hart's in it. Huh. Yeah, but that was a prior announcement. I don't know anything about that series, so when I see a bit of news I think I just go, I don't know that, and I don't put it in. It's very popular, isn't it?

Yeah, what I would be wondering about Borderlands is are they going to do it cel-shaded style? That's really all I know about Borderlands. Because, you know, you'll see somebody cosplaying as one of the Borderlands characters and they've kind of got that kind of like ink, it's like their comic book characters, like they're kind of like they've got that cel-shaded inked look. Do you think they could kind of do that aesthetic in a more realistic way

on Claptrap, which might be the name of the robot? Claptrap is a robot in that series, I believe. I know Borderlands. Have you played Borderlands 1 or 2 or the expansion or the name of the robot. Claptrap is a robot in that series, I believe it is. I know Borderlands. Have you played Borderlands 1 or 2 or the expansion or the whatever, the other things that they've done? No. Yeah, cool. Me neither.

But it's a good world that people enjoy. Yeah, that's right. We've known it for a while now, so yeah, why not? Maybe we'll get another good one. Speaking of. Imagine if we got two video game movies in a year that were good. Well, The Last of Us is a show. It's a HBO premium series.

Ah, so it's not TV, it's HBO. So you were wrong also. No, I knew it wasn't. You were wrong. I was right. I just didn't say what I, because we moved on to the clap track. I'm ready to send an email to HR, James. You could be fired this episode. Also, I'm HR, I think. Oh, okay, right.

Well, you've got to follow the rules, don't you? That's how it works. By the way, you're fired. Oh, man. Yes, got him. We should start a new podcast, though. Yeah. Free of cancel culture. I forgot that in my contract you can fire me while I'm taking a drink or something.

And it's only just occurred to me that's why you offer me a drink every week. Because you'll have numerous opportunities every episode. We also got the announcement of Sonic 2 in April of 2022. Yeah. You saw that trailer? I mean, trailer's stretching it a lot. Yeah, sure. Oh, yeah, yeah. We also got the announcement of Sonic 2 in April of 2022. Yeah. You saw that trailer? I mean, trailers stretching it a lot. Yeah, sure. Oh, yeah, whatever it was.

Unless I saw one that was different, but there was literally nothing, right? Yes. I've written here Jason Momoa for Tails, but apparently he's Knuckles. And again, it's going to be one of those things where I correct this document that I'll never look at again. Sure. So there you go. What do you think of that, Mason?

I think that's important for your mental health that you correct the document. I meant the casting. Oh, I don't care about it. Okay, good. Deadline are reporting that Zoe Ashton is going to be the main villain in Captain Marvel. You might not know her from Velvet Buzzsaw, which I haven't seen, but I know her from Fresh Meat. She's one of the housemates.

Oh, yeah, that's right. So there you go. Cool. So going up against various Captain Marvels or Ms. Marvels in that movie that they're doing. Maybe we don't know yet. I think they're going to do a Monica Rambeau, Ms. Marvel and Captain Marvel team, I believe.

Cool. As far as I know. But I think they've got to do the Ms. Marvel series first. And I'm pretty sure they're going to reveal more Monica Rambeau stuff in the coming weeks. Things are hotting up. Stay tuned every Friday to that show.

And then our recaps. Oh, my God. I mean, you could just watch our recaps if you want. Yeah, you don't have to watch the show. Do you want to be thoroughly confused? Collings bangs out a crazy edit for that. I don't know how he does it. He should ease up on the editing.

I've told him, like, these are too complex. He's too dedicated to good editing. I can't stop him. I should fire him. I mean, you have that power. What if he emails HR though? But he never takes a drink. That's true.

You know what I mean? That's true. He's never done that. We've got our first look at the Joker. Well, second look because he's in it. This is the Justice League Snyder Cut Joker. So was this filmed before Suicide Squad? No, this was new.

This is new. He always wanted to do it and he never did. So this isn't. Like all things in Justice League, this movie. So this isn't Snyder's original footage from prior to Justice League, the one that we got in theatres which was redirected by Joss Whedon, et cetera. No.

This is new stuff. Yes. For a new nightmare sequence? I don't know because this is what he got here. A remnant of his escapes into the wild when the world fell, so I guess he has tons of badges. Those are his trophies. He's got a look.

Have you seen his look? Yes, I have. Very cool. It's very cool. It's less tattooed. It's less tattooed, yeah. He might have the rest of his tattoos. When they were like, why doesn't he have a tattoo?

He's like, I don't know. Something happened. I don't know. You could make something up. Yep. That's right. That's fine, I don't know. Something happened. I don't know. You could make something up. Yep. That's right. That's fine. I don't care he doesn't have them.

The cool thing about this scene is that the Joker talking directly to Batman about Batman. Oh. It's Joker analyzing Batman about who he is and what he is. It's just his critique of the Nolan Batman movies. I didn't feel like it brought enough, you know, kind of unworldly elements into it, but he's doing it in his Joker voice. Ah, yes. Yeah, you know what I mean?

Yeah. How did he escape that bomb at the end? That's the thing. How did he get back into Gotham? I don't understand. You can't fix a back. I mean, where was that pit? I mean, is it in America or is it a different?

Because did he get on a plane? We had cable television. That's the thing I felt fans did from the DC Universe. That is to say that Jared Leto Joker and the Ben Affleck Batmans, they never really got together. It seems uncool to me that they would make it all the way through this incarnation of Batman and Joker without seeing them come together. And the scene also explains why Bruce has the Joker card taped to his gun that you see in Batman v Superman, Colin, Dawn of Justice.

He what? Brackets 2016. I don't remember that at all. Yeah, he's got a Joker card on his gun. I bet he just snatches it off him and puts it in the gun. What gun? He's got a gun in the future sequence. I mean, he's got a gun a lot of times in those movies.

Yeah, I was saying, yeah, which of the many times he has a gun. I think you mean which gun. Yeah. I'm like, is there a card on any of the guns in the Batmobile? I couldn't remember. I put this in last minute, but I wanted to talk about it because he was asked about the dead rat he sent to Margot Robbie. Jared Leto.

Yes. So this is what he said. First of all, this was confirmed by Viola Davis in the press junket at the time. He said, yeah, he sent Margot Robbie a black rat that was still alive in a box and she screamed, but then she kept it. And this is what he said recently. I never gave Margot Robbie a dead rat. That's not true. I actually gave her.

There is a pause there. I found this place in Toronto that had great vegan cinnamon buns and that was a very common thing. I mean, I could see how you could confuse the two. Can you Google vegan cinnamon roll just quickly? Cinnamon buns. Oh yeah, right, right, right. Sure. We should do Toronto to see if this is real. I bet it is. Yeah, they exist. They just look the same.

Like a rat? No, not at all. Not even close. Huh. There's one called Cineholic. Okay. It's on Danforth Road. They've got Bunner's Bake Shop on Augusta Avenue.

They've got Almond Butterfly Harbour. Is there like? Harbour Street. Okay. Is there like Edgy Bakery? No, there's not. There's Rat Shaped Cinnamon Buns Bakery, but that closed in 2015. But that's when they filmed the movie because it came out in 2016,

but they would have had to have filmed it. Nice. We've nailed it. We've done some detective work like Batman would. Like Batman would and has. Imagine if the Joker told Batman about Batman. I can't wait. Speaking of, we are getting a Justice League trailer.

That's going to blow Batman's mind. He's going to be like, I've never had someone reflect on my psyche. He thinks he knows his own head. Yeah. But then the Joker gets in his head. It's like. Do you think it was you just be like, shut up? Yeah.

Shut up. You don't know. Yeah. Or you do, but shut up. You've made poor choices. Look at your weird head. That's what I'd say. So there is a Justice League trailer.

We've seen the snippets at the time of recording this. I'm going to do a trailer breakdown. You're bloody mad, you are. You're as mad as a bloody cut snake, mate. That's right. Yeah, so we've seen snippets. You might want to consider, Joker, that your opinion of me is coloured by the fact that you are severely damaged.

You've been jokerised. You've been jokerised. And that impairs your judgement, in my opinion. That's right. I mean, you can have your own truth, but I feel, you know, because you have to say I feel. Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah. I just say shut up. Shut up. Nice. Just shut up. So, yeah, from what we've seen, there's the big tank from The Dark Knight Returns. The comic book, yes. It's got the big thing on the front.

And is that going to be in the nightmare sequence? I don't think so. I don't know, though. And we also see Granny Goodness has been pointed out. So, yeah, we'll see, won't we? Maybe she makes the cinnamon buns. Maybe she does, the rat cinnamon buns. The other thing is there's going to be a ten-minute-

Dance number. Yes, like Ghostbusters. No, the one they cut out of Ghostbusters. They're going to be a 10 minute um dance number yes like ghostbusters no the one they cut out of ghostbusters they're going to put it in this no in the middle um so it's because it's a four-hour movie for some reason they're going to put it in the middle so they're going to play some epic music which you can sit around for or you can do another thing which is what i will do i will leave yeah so are you excited for that? Yeah. They should do it like in a video game when you leave the controls. From the 90s, if you leave the controls

long enough, Batman just starts scratching his head. No, no, no. Look, this is how you do it. It would be Jason Momoa because it's like in Knuckles if you're playing Sonic. I feel like Sonic revolutionized that. So you do Jason Momoa's Aquaman, just go and look at his watch and go, my man,

you got nine minutes, my man. Nice. He gets increasingly agitated. He's like, you only got two minutes, my man. Zip it up, my man. My man. You know? That's it. What do you think of the intermission? I love it. I think it's such a good idea for a four-hour movie. Yeah, I don't mind it. Yeah. That's all I'm saying. Yeah. four-hour movie. Yeah, I don't mind it. Yeah, that's all I'm saying. Yeah.

but then we went, nah, because this is a long movie. And what did you say? We probably haven't seen most of them. Well, I looked at it, and it's a lot of Ben-Hur and a lot of, you know, movies like Ben-Hur. And I'm like, oof. Like that Egypt one, whatever. Yep.

What's that one with Charlton Heston? The Moses. We talked about it recently with Andy and Al. The Bible. The Bible, that's right. That's a long one. Yeah, it is, isn't it? But no, we decided to talk about members of the Justice League.

We're going to go through because you've got your core ones, which we'll see in this Justice League movie, but there's some other ones we're going to talk about, some good, some bad, and we want to decide whether or not they're going to show up in a Justice League movie. But that being said, the answer is no because they're never going to make another Justice League movie. I don't think so.

They will eventually. They're going to. They will, but what they're going to do, they're going to trial them out because we're going to be getting like Hawkman in Black Adam and like Superman in Shazam maybe and whatever Batman's doing, I don't know. You don't think, James, that they're going to – because now the hashtag has transformed from release the Snyder Cut

to restore the Snyderverse or something like that. Right. So this isn't going to end. So what I'm thinking is they're going to be like, we want a Justice League 2 that is a follow-up to Zack Snyder's Justice League. So we're going to see more Justice Leagues. Yeah, okay. For sure. I know, you're right.

Okay, so let's determine then whether or not we think they'll show up. So you've got obviously your Supermans, your Batmans, your Wonder Woman, the Flash, depending on what version of the Flash. I think they're going to show up. I agree. Green Lantern, normally Hal Jordan, but more recently like a Jon Stewart, and by more recently I mean in the last 25 years. Aquaman and Martian Manhunter, who we will see in this next movie.

So apparently a mocap situation. So are you excited for that? I'm excited to see his transmogrification process. Do you think they're not going to do it? His Martian transmogrification. Do you think it's just going to be a wiggly, wiggly, wiggly, wiggly? I don't think it's going to be just. I don't think it's going to be a mere wiggly, wiggly, wiggly, James.

Okay. I think they're going to go all out and all in. Well, yeah, I bet they would, weren't they? Do you think we're going to get a new lanyard if we can get to a screening? I hope so. Should I wear my old one? Yes, you definitely should. I've got yours too.

We can both wear them. Okay, let's both wear them to the premiere of this. Yeah. And then during the intermission we can wave them about and be like, we were here, we were at the OG screening. These are vintage. These are actually vintage. You know how sneakers are worth something?

This isn't. But what do you think? I'm going to wear mine. What else have we got here? I reckon, look, we should go through this list. We should figure out whether they're going to be in another Justice League movie, which is inevitable, and also whether or not Zack Snyder would respect this character.

I like that. Or what he would transform it into. A transmogrification. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A bit of a wiggly, wiggly situation. We are just going off Wikipedia Because it's the most comprehensive list Because we did look up like

Weirdest characters, worst characters But I just want everything We're going to be at this for a while No we don't have to pick them all Do I have anything to say about Red Tornado? Not really But Green Arrow, what do you think about that? He's Hawkeye for DC Yes

What else would you do to him um that they haven't done i think zach snyder would have him like fire syringes you know filled with drugs and sadness oh my goodness yeah like the scarecrow there's a fucking mosquito again i killed the first one there's another one back in the habit mason yeah sorry go on um so black suit black to. Yeah, uh-huh, yeah, yeah, yeah. With a tinge of green on the mask. That's too much green, I think. Yeah, you're right.

Yeah. Maybe green underpants, but don't even say them. Yeah, I think so. Okay, fair enough. Also, I think it's hard to kind of do someone like Green Arrow because he kicked off the CW verse. That's right. You'd have to really, you'd have to depart with it in many a way.

And there's very, stylistically there's very little to make him more in line with the Snyderverse, I think, because. I'm thinking about what kind of beard he'd have. Well, that's the thing, because they took that off for the CW Arrow and gave him kind of, you know, like a crew cut kind of like a. Maybe you bring that back then. There's no way Snyder would agree to like a... Like a little Robin Hood beard.

Like an Errol Flynn mustache beard combination. I was speaking of, we did a commentary for Thor. It's out this week, isn't it? Oh, that's right. There's a little Errol Flynn man in that one, isn't there? There's a little Errol Flynn in all of us, James. Not me. No, not me.

He seems like a terrible human being all around. Yeah, I mean, I would have liked to have seen that Supermax movie, which was him in prison. Remember that? Maybe there that Supermax movie, which was him in prison. Remember that? Maybe there'll just be some cutaways to him in prison. Oh, man, I hate being in prison. I don't even have my bows and arrows. I used to be Green Arrow.

I'm not going to show you, though. No. I said I'm just going to get beaten up in a cell. I'm going to have a flashback in several years when they come back and remake this movie or whatever. The Atom. Again, around a lot. I don't know if I want whatever. The Atom. Again, around a lot. I don't know if I want to see the Atom.

If I did, I want to see, like, not the mechanical suit Atom. I want to see the spandexy Atom. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think also the issue here for a number of these, as you said with Green Arrow, is that Marvel have the first move advantage in that a lot of Marvel and DC,

Marvel and DC have both had very similar characters over the years. Like sometimes it's been a competition to be like, we'll have a shrink guy, we'll have an arrow guy. And regardless of who created them first in the comic books. Usually DC. Yeah, usually DC. Marvel have had a huge head start and they've put them all in. They've put all the shrinky guys and all the arrow guys

and they've put them all in. All in. They put all the Shrinky guys and all the Arrow guys and they put them in there. So anything that DC puts out there is going to be seen as, is this going to be the poor man's Hawkeye? Is this going to be the poor man's Ant-Man? Exactly. Assorted? Assorted, yeah. But here's one that Marvel do not have, a Hawkman.

They don't have a Hawkman. No, they do. Didn't they cast him? Hawkman? Yeah, they cast the dude from Black Mirror. I'm saying Marvel doesn't have a Hawkman. They don't have a Hawkman. No, they do. Didn't they cast him? Hawkman? Yeah, they cast the dude from Black Mirror. I'm saying Marvel doesn't have a Hawkman. Oh, sorry. Yeah, sorry.

But they have cast him. Yes. No, they don't. Do they have? They don't even. I guess the closest thing would be Thor. Because of winged helmets? Winged helmets, but also like ancient being whatever.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, sure. Yeah. What's the actor's name? No, not Hawkeye. It's like, do you mean Hawkeye? No, I. Yeah. What's the actor's name? No, not Hawkeye. It's like, do you mean Hawkeye? No, I don't. No one ever means Hawkeye.

Yeah. Aldous Hodge. He's from like Black Mirror. He was in The Invisible Man. He's a cop in Invisible Man. Ah. Yeah. I think that's great casting.

So what would you think about somebody like an elongated man then? Because we haven't had a stretchy boy in a while, have we? That's true, but we did have an elongated man in the Flash TV series. Yeah, but who cares? And that guy got cancelled. Oh, yeah, so they could bring it back. He got consequence cultured. He did. So.

Yeah. But, yeah, what do you think that is? Oh, we should mention, well, I think this. But the race, here's the thing, though. The race is on for a stretchy guy. That's what I mean. Because the Fantastic Four will invariably be made by Marvel sooner rather than later. So they've got to get that stretchy boy in first.

I just want to say also a lot of times when people get cancelled for something, depending on the severity, because if it's bad then fuck off forever, there should be a road back for people. Oh, yeah, for sure. That doesn't mean that everybody has to accept them and invite them back into everything. But, yeah, it's good to have a road back. I was kind of hoping Gina Carano would take that, but it seems the opposite.

Anyway, let's keep going. All right. Once your bloody lecture's over. Thank you. I appreciate that. Yeah, so I guess that would mean Hawkgirl as well, which may have also been cast. But what about Zatanna?

Oh, yeah. Magical outfits, top hats, Little stick with a white tip. Yeah, what about that? I reckon they're going to change her to, you know, black trench coat. Yep. That's it. Just naked but for a black trench coat. Black trench coat gun.

Yep. That's right. Yep. Regular gun. No, I think that would be a good one to do as like an actual stage magician who's really magic. I know there's obviously shades of Doctor Strange in that, but Doctor Strange is more kind of like weird ornate like furniture

and capes and whatever. You know what I mean? He's like that kind of dude. He's got a dresser that could probably beat you up and she probably has that too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But she just looks like a stage magician. James, are you pitching a Franco Cotso movie?

Franco Cotso being the famous furniture magnate in Melbourne? Grand Sales and all that. Yeah, absolutely. Brunswick and Footers Grey. Who do you think is going to do Elongated Man first though? A stretchy man? Yeah. Grotto being the famous furniture magnate in Melbourne. Grand Sales and all that. Yeah, absolutely. Brunswick and Footers Grey. Who do you think is going to do Elongated Man first, though? A stretchy man? Yeah.

I think definitely it's going to be. Well, they've announced Fantastic Four and Marvel. I think it's going to be Marvel first because I don't think, I mean, if they're going to put him in a DC movie, that's not going to blow any minds, is it? No. A stretchy guy. Depends what they do with him. He gets a beer from the other room.

That's rad. Pretty rad, right? Wait, wait, wait. Is it ice cold? Yeah. Then yes, that's rad. That's very rad, right? Is it a Han light?

Could be a Han light, yes. That's not rad, then. Oh, okay. It's all American? It's all American. It's a pabst blue ribbon. Okay, that's fine, I guess. It always sounds like an ice cream to me because we have a blue ribbon ice cream here, don't we?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is one I want to see again, Steel. And this is why I'm kind of like I wish they did Death of Superman properly because then we could have got the four Supermen of the apocalypse. Oh, my God, yes. Yeah, and now we're never going to get that probably maybe. I think or. Imagine if you just paused and you didn't do Justice League

and you did the fourth Superman movie in the middle. And then you build up his return and not just like we zapped him with a box, which is probably not going to be dissimilar from what they end up doing. I'm sure it will be slightly different, but it's still going to be like the next movie. Yeah, I, that's the thing. I, you know, were Zack Snyder not, you know, telegraphing his every move on Vero,

revealing literally everything that's going to be in this thing, I would say, oh, maybe they'd put the cyborg Superman in. Maybe they'd put in the Eradicator or something. But we would know by now because he would put it on. He would never put Superboy in though. No. Maybe to kill him. Yeah, that's true.

So, yeah, I'd love to see Steel, like a proper version. Yeah, yeah. Give him the hammer and the flying boots and all that shit. Yeah, probably. Yeah, that's true. So, yeah, I'd love to see Steel a proper version. Yeah, yeah. Give him the hammer and the flying boots and all that shit. Yeah. And I think, you know, comparisons could be made to Iron Man, but I think if you... Yeah, but he's not... But he's more working man as well. No, that's true. Yeah. I mean, he's got a lot of doctorates,

but, you know. Yeah, but he's a construction dude, isn't he? He's also a construction dude. He's a regular blue-collar Joe. He's a Pabst Blue construction dude. He's a regular blue-collar Joe. He's a Pabst Blue Ribbon. He's a Blue Ribbon Ice Cream Fellow. Exactly, yeah. But I think if you, and I think sort of the most effective uses of steel is you don't show, like, you know, you don't go into the suit and show the heads-up display and the technology of it.

You just show him as more of an epic kind of. Like a statuesque. Like a, yeah... Like a... Does the mask flip up and he goes, what up, dog? It's his catchphrase. That would be more Iron Man's catchphrase. It would be, wouldn't it? People would be like, that's not

very cool on you, Iron Man. You'd be like, can you believe this? People would be like, it's crazy. It's crazy what's happening at this airport. But yeah, no, Steel would be great. It would be tremendous to see. Would you want to less like the suit clunks around him and more he has to kind of put it on? How does that suit go on?

I don't actually remember. It's an armor, but it's not like an Iron Man. What is sort of Iron Man? It enhances his strength, right? Yes, correct. And does other bits and bobs. Yes. But it's not like, I don't know.

How does he get in it? That's my point. I don't think I've ever seen him get in it. Me neither. Let's ask him next time he's in a movie. The steel would be darker if it was a Zack Snyder. It would be like a very dark grey metal. Do you think so?

Yes. Huh. Or cyborgs are more shiny metal, isn't it? Yeah. But then you can't do like a cyborg, you know, looking dude. Uh-huh. Because they'd both be shiny metal men. That's true.

More rivets. It'd be all rivets. Yeah. It's a real shame we're not getting. It is a shame. Because at this point, like they've been going long enough that at this point I would hope to have seen a Supergirl by now or Steel Superboy.

Another Doomsday. Yep, second Doomsday. Second Doomsday. Oh, my God, it's Doomsday and it's the real one this time, they'd say. Yeah, and he's going to kill Superman again, probably. Well, speaking of Iron Man, Blue Beetle's Iron

Man-esque, isn't he? Some of them are, yeah. Some of them are. What do you mean by that, Mason? Because there's been more than one Blue Beetle. Yes, but what do you mean by which ones are more Iron Man and which ones aren't? Well, the one that I read when I was a kid was Ted Kord and he's more of a... A nerd.

He's more of a nerd, yeah. Whereas Jaime Reyes is more of like an Iron Man kind of suit, yeah. Yeah, right. Is he a nerd? I think he's also a nerd, yeah. There's too many nerds in comic books. Can we just have a cool guy who's like, what up, dog? Well, you're thinking of probably Booster Gold, who was, you know.

I would have loved to see a Blue Beans or Booster Gold team up. Aren't they maybe making that movie? No. I think we've talked about it. Maybe Blue and Gold was maybe the working title. I don't know. I always think Black and Gold. How have they made so few of these movies?

I don't understand. It's kind of crazy. They made so few of these movies? I don't understand. It's kind of crazy. They made a thousand Marvel movies in the last ten years. There's been nothing but Marvel movies. What are you doing? I want to see these. It's fascinating. James, I don't want to see any of these characters.

What I want to see is a behind-the-scenes documentary and why they haven't made any DC movies. Because they think all the money's in Batman. That's why. Yeah. That's why we've only seen one Superman movie and T movies. And the only reason they made another Wonder Woman is because the first one made money and they didn't understand why.

Yes. Yeah. But here's one we're getting. Okay. Because I had it and I've lost it. God damn it, forever. You're talking about Shazam. No, we can talk about Shazam, yeah.

So he's getting a movie, isn't he? And they'll work him into the Justice League. Did you hear Black Adam is now called Shazadam or something like that? That cannot be correct. They changed it in the comics. Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Oh, I see. Right, right, right.

Let me check. To what end? To make him more within the Captain Marvel Shazam family? Is that what? Shazadam. Yeah. Shazadam. Yeah, that works.

Just rolls off the tongue. I don't like it. Shazadam. I don't like it. This is one I was going to say. Go on. We're getting this in a new Gods movie. We're getting Mr. Miracle, a.k.a.

Scott Free, which hopefully means we're also getting Big Bada, hopefully. Yeah. And. Gina Carano would have been a great Big Bada. She would have been a great Big Bada. She would have been a great Big Bada. Maybe they'll snap her up. Maybe DC will snap her up. Yeah, maybe they will.

Snyder would snap her up after this. I think he might, yeah. But I don't know what the chances are of him doing another DC movie anyway. But him, we'll see. If it does really well then, and the fan campaigns, et cetera, then maybe. But again, if they do the Eternals first, it's a kind of, I mean, and they're not particularly similar. No.

On a surface level, it's, you know, godlike beings from another world. Yep, yep. People will be like, oh, they're just trying to get. That's right. They're trying to whatever, whatever, aren't they? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I love those characters. And again, so like even if we don't see them in a Justice League movie,

they are still built. They are building this universe. It is happening. Yeah. It's just that I don't see him in a Justice League movie, they are still building this universe. It is happening. Yeah. It's just that I don't know when or why or how or if or when. That's what I think. Yeah. Wouldn't you love to see him?

Or why. Or if. Yeah. And how. And how. There's so many Hawkman and Hawkwoman's. Yeah, what about a Dr. Fate? He turns up with a big bell on his head and he's like, hello! I'm going to say

chances are slim to none, just because he's another magic user with Doctor and his name, a la Doctor Strange. People will be like, wow, this is Doctor Strange with a bell on his head. Yeah, they'll be like, you are grasping at straws with Doctor Strange with a bell on his head. I love Doctor Fate, though. I love, I mean, when he shows up, I'm like, oh, he's about to say something, something about the future. What's he going to say? I think if anything, they would probably put, if they want an enigmatic man to show up and be like.

Dead man? Doctor what? Dead man or Phantom Stranger. Okay, sure, yeah. Who's one of those guys who shows up with a cloak and a hat and he's like. Guess what? Grim portents for the future, Superman.

Did you not? I normally don't interfere, but as always, I'm interfering. Yeah. What about Orion? Nah. Of the new gods? Sure. I mean, we'll say they're new gods, I guess.

Yes. There's one called Tasmanian Devil. I'm unfamiliar with Tasmanian Devil. What the fuck is this? Open it up and tell us all about Tasmanian Devil. He just looks like a big Tasmanian Devil. Okay. So he's unrelated to the Looney Tunes character.

He first appeared in 1986. Okay. He's a born metahuman with the ability to turn into a large and intelligent Tasmanian devil similar to a werewolf. So he's a werewolf. Got it. Great. Is he Australian?

I want to know all about this guy. Oh, okay. Because on a previous episode we have talked about the Marvel villain, the kangaroo. Yes. Who, of course, is not Australian but went to Australia and learned how to leap from the kangaroos. I do not like that at all.

So is this guy Australian or is he stealing our culture? Let's find out. So his real name is, what's his name, Hugh Dawkins. Great. Great Hugh Dawkins. Great work. You've really. So it says they are preparing the Justice League Australian Embassy.

So I think he is Australian. Okay. So, yeah. Or he's not. Who cares? Wow. There you go. That one was too high on the list and I do not like it.

What about Animal Man? Wait, so he was in the Justice League, Tasmanian Devil. Apparently. Oh, he's in the, hang on, Justice League International. Okay, the joke Justice League. There's some good ones in here. There's Fire and Ice. There's Red Rocket number four and Rocket Red, no, sorry,

Rocket Red number four and number seven. There's Captain Atom. Some names here. How? Guy Gardner, Green Lantern. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How long do you think this, how many movies do you think it'll be before they release a Justice League Antarctica movie?

Because as a kid, I don't have a lot of my old comics from when I was a kid, but one that I did keep, it was a Justice League, I think it was a Justice League International Annual that featured Justice League Antarctica and it was basically a bunch of losers that were sort of former villains who were offered the opportunity to allow the Suicide Squad to reform themselves and become the Justice League Antarctica

and they fought a bunch of penguins, killer penguins. Okay. It'd be cool if they fought all the Friesman. There's a bunch of Friesman. Like a Captain Cold. And the other ones. Sure. You know what I mean?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's Mr. Freeze. There's Dr. Freeze. Yes. There's Freezy Freezo. There's the fridge. It's just a fridge. He doesn't freeze. He keeps things cool. Yeah, There's Freezy Freezo. There's the fridge. It's just a fridge. He doesn't freeze.

He keeps things cool. Yeah, yeah, right. What else we got here? That's a great tagline though, James. He can get his own solo movie. He doesn't freeze, but he keeps things cool. Keeps things cool, yeah. What about, yeah, sorry, Animal Man.

Yeah, okay. I like Animal Man. So he got his powers from aliens, but he didn't, did he? Well, he got his powers because he's fictional. Shut up, Mason. No, but here's the thing, James. He's away. He's fictional.

Oh, he's one of those guys. That's what I'm talking about. I thought you were going to do that for all of these from now on. No, but he's not in the new 52, wasn't he? Because he thought it was aliens, but it actually was like the earth gave them to him or whatever. Yes. Like weird animal spirits or something. It was a good run.

He's dead sun in it. It was grim. Why would they bring in animal man? Cause it's funny. Yeah, I know it's funny. They're all James. They're all funny and ridiculous,

but would they, what would the, would it be like an, would it be a movie about animal rights or it'd be a movie about vegetarianism? Sure. You know, I,

I'd want to take like a serious run at it because I think he's good. Like I think he's a genuinely good character. You do some Swamp Thing stuff, they're always the red and the green teaming up, aren't they? That's true. So I'm just reading the Justice League Antarctica members here. Do you mind if I list them off? So Major Disaster.

Yep. Good Nort. Good Nort's a Green Lantern, but he looks like a dog. Multiman? Yep. Every time he dies, he comes back with a different superpower, and he's really depressed. Cool. Yeah.

Maybe he'll come back with a cure for his depression. No, never does. Oh. Big Sur? He's really big and dumb. Okay. Cluemaster? He's like a third-rate The Riddler.

Gotcha. And his daughter is Spoiler, who became Robin briefly. Okay. Yeah. Question mark mask? No. No, just like a bandler. Gotcha. And his daughter is Spoiler, who became Robin briefly. Okay. Yeah. Question mark mask? No. No, just like a bandana. Okay.

Like an orange suit. Isn't there other Spoilers? No, just the one. Great. Clock King. Yep. Very timely. The Mighty Bruce.

It says our real name Bruce, presumably. He's just a guy, if I remember correctly. Okay. And Scarlet Ski-er. Yep. What do you think of that? I would love to see. This is just. But guy, if I remember correctly. Okay. And Scarlet Ski-er. Yep. What do you think of that? I would love to see. This is just.

But actually, that's the thing. Like, if they would. And I don't want to just harp on DC and Warner Brothers. But if they had made. That would be cool. I'd definitely watch that. If they had made 20 movies by now. Yeah.

And it's very easy for me to say, why don't you just make 20 movies? But Marvel did it. Yeah. By this point, we would be well primed for a comedic Justice League movie. Totally. Just a stupid one and they're like, hey, this one's in Antarctica. The mighty Bruce is in it. You love Ambush Bug, don't you?

I do. He is also aware that he is fictional. Cool. What's Red Arrow? Oh, is that Speedy? Yes, it is. Okay, yeah, fair enough. We haven't talked about Supergirl.

Go on. She's in the Cry for Justice team, a mini-ser? Yes, it is. Okay, yeah, fair enough. We haven't talked about Supergirl. Go on. She says she's in the Cry for Justice team, a mini-series, I should say. Yeah, do something with her. I mean, she's on TV or was. Yeah, do a Birds of Prey sequel. They won't, but they could. Or just to do a Supergirl or Superwoman movie, I guess.

I don't know. Do something. Do something, Mason, for once. What about some more of the Bat family then? Like if you put in a Robin or a Batgirl. It'd be nice, wouldn't it? Yeah. Someone else.

Do you know what I mean? Make something else happen. Imagine making something else happen. I wouldn't even dare, James. If you were going to see a Robin, which one would you want it to be? If I wanted to see a Robin. And you do. I think I just want Nightwing.

Like start there and then just branch out. He's not normally in the Justice League though, is he? No, he's normally in the Titans. Teen Titans. Teen Titans, yeah. And canonically, Zack Snyder has said that the Robin that was killed in his Justice League was Dick Grayson, a.k.a. Robin and then Nightwing. Maybe he was turned into the Joker, you're right.

It's never been said in the movie. So if they want to bring back Dick Grayson, they can just do it. Also, there was a magic wishing rock and everybody went mad in the 80s, so it doesn't matter. They can just do anything. That's true. Oh, yeah, that's right. There was a magic wishing rock, Mason.

How quickly we forget. It was also turned into a man, just to clarify. Yeah, that's true. In case we get emails. Well, we kind of skipped over this one, but Booster Gold is a great character. He has a really good Justice League episode about him that centers on him. The cartoon. Yes.

So you can explain him. He appears on the scene in the modern day and he's like, hey, I'm a superhero and I'm getting all these brand endorsement deals and I'm the superhero everybody wants to be. I'm super cool. But it turned out that he was just – he's from the future and he was like a wannabe sports star who had a gambling problem and he didn't hit it.

And then he lost all his fame and fortune and then he started working in a superhero museum and he's just like, if I went back in time, if I stole all this superhero stuff and I went back in time. Because he's not superpowered? No. It's all gimmicks. Tech stuff. Yeah, yeah.

And then he does. Yeah. But sometimes he's erased from history every now and then, isn't he? That's correct, yeah. Every now and then someone will hit something that stops him from existing. Classic cancel culture. It really is, isn't it? So what about John Constantine?

They've taken a few shots, haven't they? Yeah, but I think they'd, what if they just brought in Keanu Reeves and just be like, he's Constantine? I'd be okay with that, honestly. People would love that. I would love that. I know he's supposed to be British and blonde and steam. I know that.

But here's the thing. He's been Constantine before And that there's a lot As we've said before There's a lot of value to just Having someone there for a while And then threaten to take them away And people are like how dare you Remember when Brandon Routh was Superman again

Everyone crazy It would explode people's brains now. We're still in the Ki-ya-naissance. Yes. I'm not a bad guy. I say Ki-ya-yes. I also say Ki-ya-yes. Yeah, I mean, again, like, sure, blonde Constantine,

but why would you just do this version, I guess? Yeah. And also we know definitively in that universe Shia LaBeouf is dead, which means he can't come back. It's true. So that's okay with me. What about. The nightmare sequence.

Yeah, why not? What about dead man? Because you can give that to multiple people also. Keanu Reeves. Keanu Reeves could be a dead man. So dead man is a guy who, well, if you die, then you get the dead man powers and you can come back. And if you've got a big D on you, I can't remember.

There's just one of him, James. No, because in Injustice, Dick Grayson becomes dead man. Oh. Yeah. Right. The dead man powers can be transferred. Okay. Even though that's an alternative universe or whatever.

You know what I'm talking about. Yes. Yeah. Don't you think that'd be cool? Would it be cool? Would it be cool? As a concept, I'm sure it is cool, yes. Yeah, I agree.

Yeah. For people who don't know, Dead Man can inhabit, he's a spirit, and he can inhabit other people's bodies. Do we need him for this DC universe, though? No. What's the big? He'd be a Justice League dark character if he were to appear at all. Yes.

Remember that movie they were going to make? Yes. And maybe they still are. Well, they made the cartoon. But if and when and how, right? And if. Or all. Yes. Remember that movie they were going to make? Yes. And maybe they still are. Well, they made the cartoon. But if and when and how, right? And if. Or why. Yeah.

My God. What about Adam Strange? Are you a fan? Yes, I am kind of a fan. Is he one of those guys who knows who he is and whatever? No, he's like a Buck Rogers kind of character. Okay, okay, fine. He's a jetpack and ray gun kind of guy.

Yeah, right, okay, cool. All right, fair enough. What if he went more like into a Lobo direction? Would you do Justice League Dark? Would he be like a weirder version or whatever? He'd be out of space. He'd be... Yeah.

I would love to see the Dark Rage. Maybe like a Green Lantern Corps, not edition, but in that kind of movie? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or show that they're making? Yes. Yeah, cool. Oh, my God. I'm looking here.

Start. James, every time you say one of these characters it just makes me sad you look really upset it just makes me sad that there's like i you said that and i'm like oh yeah he'd fit right in in the guardians of the galaxy because marvel have already gone like hey wacky out of space he's out here but we you know we've we've explored earth and that's cool but's cool and you thought that was it but we went out to space and it's amazing. Look at all these incredible sights and sounds and mythology.

And you could drag in somebody of his like equal in the Marvel Universe because they've set it up for that in multiple movies. Yes. But you're right, it is very upsetting. Yeah. But again, DC has in the comics exactly as rich cosmology, you know. Yeah, exactly. Which I love.

I love all that stuff. And to be like, okay, well, I guess he's probably just an angry albino guy at a bar. That's what he'll be. Or he'll just be, Lex Luthor will build him in a pit, a big wet pit. He'll emerge from a big wet pit. Yeah, exactly. We got this DNA from a meteor or whatever. Yeah. Yeah, imagine that. God. We got this DNA from a meteor or whatever. Yeah.

Yeah, imagine that. God. We got this DNA from a meteor or whatever. What do you think, Mercy? I killed you in that courtroom explosion. Just talking to myself. Anyway, I just pour this DNA in all wet pit. See what we get.

Oh, it's a big albino guy. So what about the future's end, Justice League? Because this is 35 years in the future. What if we took it ahead and looked at a different team? So this team's got Kal-El Superman. It's got Kai Rowe as Green Lantern. When you say Kal-El Superman, which one are you talking about? The regular Superman.

Okay, sure. He's Kal-El. Yes, I know. Is there another Kal-El? No, but I mean it's just regular Superman except slightly older. Yeah, exactly. He's probably got grey temples. Sometimes he doesn't. I don't know. Big, exactly. He's probably got grey temples. Sometimes he doesn't.

I don't know. Big Barda, Aqua Girl, Warhawk and Micron. All right. Who's Micron? I don't know. I've never heard of Micron. Let me check into Micron. The Atom is a shit.

I think he's an Atom dude. Yeah, he's one of those guys who is Atom but not, yeah, unknown name. Oh, my goodness. Sounds like a boring team and I hate it. I got some good stuff in there. Don't you want to see Superman from the future? See what he's one of those guys who is Atom, but not, yeah, unknown name. Oh, my goodness. Sounds like a boring team and I hate it. No, I got some good stuff in there. Don't you want to see Superman from the future, see what he's up to? He's like, I'm jaded a bit now. But then they've done that.

Exactly. You were jaded before. No, but I'm a bit more jaded. There was a brief period in the middle where I was full of hope and life. You didn't see that. You didn't see any of that because we haven't made that movie yet. Don't you think also when he came back to life, though, he would get that flash of like, I love being alive and that's cool.

How long do you reckon that would last? Until the first oil tanker he has to drag? Yeah, and he's like, oh. Again with the oil tanker dragging. Speaking of Superman, we recorded Superman 3, but Superman 2 is coming up this week for Caravan of Garbage. We're doing the Christopher Reeve movies. Ben is working on them as we podcast.

That's right. I don't really have any others here that I really want to talk about. Do you have any others? Let's have a look. Yeah. Christopher Reeve movies, Ben is working on them, as we podcast. That's right. I don't really have any others here that I really want to talk about. Do you have any others? Let's have a look. Yeah. This is kind of depressing. I thought this would be fun, but I'm just sad. Asriel, what about like a Jean-Paul Val?

That's more of a Batman kind of movie. It's more of a Batman villain, yeah. What about Detective Chimp? I would love to see Detective Chimp. That's a Justice League Dark thing as well, yeah. So for those who don't know, he is a, it's a name. The name is what he is. See, that's the thing.

Like this, I, why not do Justice League Dark? You don't even have to call it Justice League Dark. Just be like, here's a bunch of magical weirdos in the DC universe. That's what they should call it. Put in Constantine, Keanu Reeves, Constantine, bring him back. That's your linchpin? That would be incredible. Then you put in Detective Chimp.

It's Jack Black. Whoa. Because he was in King Kong. Yeah. And then they'd be like, whoa, you know? Whoa. And then you get bloody Constantine. Different two Constantines.

Wow. You get TV Constantine. Constant Constantine. That's right. I did like TV Constantine. I thought he was good. You would. I did.

I do. Yeah. Bring in Barbara Gordon as Oracle. That'd be cool. Yeah. I thought he was good. You would. I did. I do. Bringing Barbara Gordon as Oracle, leading the- That'd be cool. Yeah, yeah. But what about if they did put her as a bat character instead? That'd be great also. Two great choices. What about Katana?

I mean, I wouldn't want to mess with her, obviously. No, obviously, because you've got that- You've got that sword that traps the soul of a victim, so. God, there's some crap names here now, isn't there? Would you like to see a Justice Society? Yeah, who's that again? I get them all confused. That is the World War II era.

Oh, yeah, definitely. Yeah, I love that comic. Yes. There's a Justice Society animated movie coming up soon. Or it's out. Or it's out. But it's also got a modern-day flash in it for some reason. They're like, we're going to stop World War II but also.

Barry Allen's here. Or it's World War I, but it doesn't matter. But anyway, and also Barry Allen's here. Why? We don't need that. No, we don't. Unless it's great. We need a guy from the future who goes, this is just like Game of Thrones,

guys, and they're like, we don't know what that is. And he's like, don't worry. Can you believe this? Can you believe this? This is like Game of Thrones. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, that we don't know what that is. And he's like, don't worry. Can you believe this? Can you believe this? This is like Game of Thrones. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, that's right. He's from 2017.

You ever play Wolfenstein? It's just like Wolfenstein around here. We don't know what Wolfenstein is. It's a video game. I don't know what that is. Based on the war we're currently in. Excuse me? They've made a game based on this war?

Yeah. There's heaps of them. We have a fun time. There's one a minute. Yeah, there's so many. And people like these. Some people are mad about them because there's a woman in it. That's right.

Not because it's glorifying war, but there's a woman soldier. They're mad about it. They're mad about it. I'm just looking at all these speed stickers. Now that I say these things, it sounds crazy. I'm going to go back to the modern day because I'm the Flash. So I'm looking at all these different speedster characters and I'm just like, whatever, to be honest. Do you want to see any of the other speedsters?

Nope. They're all kind of the same. They're all kind of the same. I know they're different, but they're all kind of the same. Every time I watch a trailer for the new season of The Flash, every time there's a new- Who's this new speech to Mason? Right?

This one's wearing a black mask. And then somebody says, run, Barry, run. But he's like, this one's faster than even me. Run faster. And he's like, okay. I don't watch it. That's probably great. It's still going, isn't it?

Yep. Yes, it is. Yeah. Anyway, I love all those, James. Black Condor? No. Agent Liberty it is. Yeah. Anyway, I love all those, James. Black Condor? No. Agent Liberty? Nope.

There's one called Ray. I actually love the Ray. This is just Ray. Click on it and see what it says. The Ray's a fictional. James, they're all fictional, mate. Shut up. Ray Terrell.

Yeah, he's the Ray. Okay. Yeah. Then why does it just say someone needs to fix this? But anyway, the Ray was in World War II. But then in the 90s. He met the Flash. then in the 90s there was like a sequel series. Is that another mosquito? Yeah.

Didn't get it. Missed that one. Yeah, it's right there. In the 90s there was a Rey sequel series where it was about his son. Yeah. And his son was told his entire life that he couldn't go outside because the sun would, you know. Sun rays. Yeah, he had like a, you know, a debilitating condition that would kill him and then finally he leaves his house

and he's like, oh, no, I've got superpowers and a bad dad apparently. So he gets his powers from the sun? Yeah. But only directly? Like in Superman 4? He doesn't have to go into the sun. No, no, but he can like absorb the rays like a plant. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's why he's called Ray. What's his son's name? Oh, Ray is his son. Oh. The other one's called like Joe or something. You know? Joe. Yeah.

Anyway, I love the Ray. The Ray was really good. It sounds like it's a character. I would love to see the Ray. All right. Well, you can't because they're not making any of these. God damn it. Well, then I'll watch the episodes of Legends of Tomorrow that he's in.

Can't wait. Yeah. Is he in a house in that? And he comes out and he's like. I don't think his origin is really discussed that much. This is crazy. Listen, we've got to move on though, Mesa. Okay.

Because we've got to do the next segment of the show. And do you remember what it's called? It's called What We're Reading. Yep. Then there's an additional part to it. Yep. Which is What We're Going to Read. That's correct.

And here we go. I'm doing the thing. Westworld. A couple of weeks ago, people thought I didn't say it, but I did say it just quietly. So I just want to make sure that I am still saying it. You made an oath to yourself. I did.

You would always say it. I would always say it. The further away from context it gets, it matters naught for you, James. It matters naught. You would just keep saying it. That's right. Now, what I've been reading, which I've been really enjoying coming back to, is the first volume of Invincible.

Oh, yes. Which we're going to cover for the next book club, aren't we? That's right, yes. Maybe the one after that. I can't remember. We're up to, I think we're up to this. Yeah, it's good. It's still good.

And I'm just going to leave it at that. But what are you reading? Does it feel like a – what is it about? It's quicker than I remember. Like it moves quicker than I remember. And I think that was also kind of the style at the time. Yeah. Like it's kind of – I don't know.

I think they call it deconstructed storytelling, but it was like you'd look at a page and it's literally just someone getting out of bed and getting ready to go outside and then the next page is them walking down the street. No, they don't do any of that. It's quick. Oh, it's fast-paced. There's a lot of punching.

So it's just like it would just cut to him stopping a bank robber. And then he's like, let's get bagels or whatever. Oh, that's much better. Yeah, I agree. That's what I'm talking about. I've been watching Dead Pixels, which is a British sitcom about gaming nerds. I've heard that's good, right? It's fun.

Maybe from you. No, I don't think so. This is the first time I've mentioned it. I've heard that's good, right? It's fun. Maybe from you. No, I don't think so. This is the first time I've mentioned it. We've talked in real life. We've never talked in real life, James. We will never. You're right. Yeah, so what about it, though?

I mean, it's fun in the way of like you get the, you know, the briefest kind of 6 to 12 episode kind of glimpse into the lives of, in this case, it's, you know, MMO RPG nerds. Yes, yes, yes. Or like, you know, they're terrible and horrible people who are, you know. That's my favourite kind of people. Just working together to defeat this online game. That's my kind of people, Mason.

So let's, well, that's it. That's all I've been reading, really. I've just been watching Superman movies So we can record them He's going to get that mozzie He got it He missed it I know the mozzie's beating him up

No I think No it's up there Okay I thought I grievously wounded it No Mason it got stronger Stronger than ever It's up there doing bicep curls now Whoa Just iron you off mate

Whoa So that's good isn't it I wish I had more things to read Here's a note. Okay, I've got a lot. I should have put this in news, but I didn't. I love news. Last week, the Twitter account for Marvel's Inhumans

finally put another tweet out. It's reactivated. After a year, and it was the ad for the Falcon and the Winter Soldier. What's going on there, do you think? Which either somebody just remembered the password for Inhumans, the Twitter account, or, and it's a coincidence, or it has something to do with Falcon and Winter Soldier, which is what I'm banking on.

I'm thinking that because it looks in the trailer, it looks like they're searching for some sort of weapon. Yeah, that's true actually. I think it might be Terrigen crystals or something like that. Oh, my God, you're probably right. Like having we rewatched the Inhumans for Caravan of Garbage. Boo, Mason. And we were like.

Stop saying that. They're never going to bring this back. But obviously they're going to bring back. No, I don't think they're going to bring Inhumans back. Yes, but not those Inhumans. But they're not going to bring those Inhumans back. Yes, for sure. But, you know, given that Kamala Khan is going to be in,

is going to get her own movie. And she's an Inhuman. Yeah, and she's an Inhuman. I'm guessing that that's how they're going to get her own movie. And she's an inhuman. Yeah, and she's an inhuman. I'm guessing that that's how they're going to tie these in together. I love when they take comics and put them onto moving pictures. Not just flipping a comic quickly. I'm talking actual cellulite, sometimes digital. It's usually digital these days, isn't it?

Yeah. Wow, that's great. Should we do the next segment of the show? Yes. Let's do it then. Letters. It is letters. The classic one was letters. That water Yeah. Wow, that's great. Should we do the next segment of the show? Yes. Let's do it then. Letters. It is letters. The classic one was letters.

That water's for you, by the way. Thank you. You haven't drunk it. That's all I'm saying. Skull, skull, skull, skull, skull, skull. We're going to do letters. Skull, skull, skull. Skull, skull, skull, skull.

Skull, skull, skull, skull, skull. Skull, skull, skull, skull, skull. Skull, skull, skull, skull, skull. Skull, skull, skull, skull, skull. Skull, skull, skull, skull, skull. Skull, skull, skull, skull, skull. Skull, skull, skull, skull, skull. Skull, skull, skull, skull, skull.

Skull, skull, skull, skull, skull. Skull, skull, skull, skull, skull. Skull, skull, skull, skull, skull. Skull, skull, skull, skull, skull. Skull, skull, skull, skull, skull. I thought you were going to do it. I did half of it. Half?

Yeah. The other half's for you, James. I've got my own water. Look at this. No, we're not friends going to do it. I did half of it. Half? Yeah. The other half's for you, James. I've got my own water. Look at this. No, we're not friends. We're colleagues. Wow. That's what I used to say to people I worked with.

No, we're not friends. We're colleagues. Well, yeah, you said it with a practice, Eves, of a really horrible man. So terrific. Yeah, so listen, if you want to reach the show, hashtag WeeklyPlanetPod on Twitter, or shoot us over an email to weeklyplanetpod at gmail.com, where also people are now sending us audio messages.

That's right. Do you want to start with that? Yeah, chuck them out. I'll need your headphone. Oh, yeah, that's right. So while you do that, maybe I'll do a tweet. Okay. This is from Shamil Shamite says,

will you ever get on TikTok, Hashtag weekly planet pod. No. But it's only because it's a new social media platform and I can't be bothered. Yeah. If it was anything, I wouldn't do it. We hate new things. Yeah, we hate new things.

A friend of the show, Nano V Movies, is on TikTok, I believe. I bet he's crushing it. I bet he's doing all sorts of hot content. That's right. I knew it. I could tell. I could tell by the way he does things, Mason. That's right.

I knew what he's about. He's got a fluidity about him. You need to be on TikTok. the way he does things, Mason. That's right. I knew what he's about. He's got a fluidity about him that you need to be on TikTok. He's got a movement. Yeah, exactly. Let's listen to a voicemail. Yeah, that's right. A screened one. Now, one is screened and one is on screen. One we listened to, one we didn't listen to.

There we go, Mason. This is the screened one. JJ Mason, I love listening to your podcast while I work. I work at a construction site, and oftentimes I'll go into a house, find myself alone, and pop in headphones and listen to your podcast and turn around after washing a bunch of windows and realize that somebody has been there, and I can't help but wonder how many times they've just heard me giggling to myself as I listen to your podcast, because you often make me laugh out loud.

So I think I look kind of like a crazy person regularly to people. So thanks for that. Oh, you're welcome. Loved it. Who's that from, James? That was from, I'm sorry, I didn't say the name. Joshua, do I say the first name? Say every name, James.

Joshua Garner. Thank you so much for taking the time. What a nice voicemail. To listen every goddamn time that you're at work. And we're glad that we're giving you a giggle. I like that he said every time I sneak into a house. Because in context, obviously the house he's working on, he's building some stuff in there.

Yes, yes. But I like to think he just, he's like, I'm going to take my break, guys, from working on this house, and then he just sneaks into a nearby house. That's hot stuff. It's hot stuff, right? We really appreciate that. We're glad when people like the thing, don't we?

Yes. We've got another unscreened one. This is from David Roberts. He says, I wrote this riff and don't know what to do with it. I usually play speed metal. So here you go. It's from Dave. What's the subject line?

Well, the subject line is disco version of the Weekly Planet. Here we go. Is this the new theme song, Mason? Maybe. Let's find out it definitively is james yes it. But he said butthole. But he said mmm. At the end, he did say that at the end.

Straight after butthole, he said mmm. That's true. I love it. I love that. I loved it also. It felt very jazzy. Yeah. Did it feel that way to you?

It felt more disco-y to me. Oh, yeah, that's true. That's what I meant. Whatever I said. That was tremendous. I loved it. I loved it too. Oh, my God.

If you've got any alternate theme songs, send them on through. Yeah. We'll take any. We'll take any genre. It can be any song. Really. You can play any song. Yeah.

That's right. You want to throw us Wonderwall? Yeah. Yeah. Give it a listen. I mean, if you were the rights holder to Wonderwall. Yeah. And then you let us.

Either of the Gallaghers, if you're out there listening. Yeah. And you just want to fire up that email and send us your version of Wonderwall. This is the thing I do. It's my impression. Ready? I hate my fucking brother. So that's either of the Gallaghers.

Okay, great. I think I've done it before, but I love it. Sometimes I do it to myself. It's good, right? Because I do hate my brother. But which one? Both ones. Yeah, one? Both ones. Yeah, both.

Both ones. All right. What else have you got in terms of letters? I'm going to send some emails. I'm going to write some emails, Jack. I've got one more tweet, but why don't you do some emails? This is an email we got this week. I put this on Instagram because I liked it so much.

Yes, yes, yes. It's from Dominic Paul McKenzie to weeklyplanetpod at gmail.com. It says, hello, Weekly Planet Pod. Hello. This email informs you that you have been certified as a beneficiary of the estate and resources of late Craig PlanetPod. After extensive long-term research, if you are of the PlanetPod

lineage, I will give you more information about your benefits. How do we get in on this from the ground up? We're going to be rich, obviously. But I love that my favourite part about this is there's been no... There's been no... It's clearly a generated...

Yes, but I love it. They've gone, well, this account has a first name and a last name, so, you know, do you want to spend a night in Planet Pod Castle and receive your inheritance? It's haunted. Would you spend the night in a haunted castle? Yeah. I'd just do it.

I'd bring a gun. Ghosts, they don't care about gun. I'd bring a gun. Ghosts, they don't care about guns. It's a ghost gun. What does it shoot? Smaller ghosts that are aggravated about the bigger ghosts. They have small ghost syndrome. They're mad and feisty.

Oh, okay, they're little. Yeah. And they're, yeah, okay, they're out in the town. They're getting a bit aggravated. Exactly, yeah, yeah. They're wearing polos with popped collars. And then you see a big ghost come at you. Yeah. And you wispy to your gun. You're like, that guy at you, and you whisper to your guy, and you're like,

that guy thinks he's better than you because he's big and you're little. And then you bang, and then you get him. Does it say bang, or does it go, wow, like a ghost? Yeah, that's right, yeah. Good. Is that what a noise for ghosts makes? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Great stuff.

Okay, let's do it. Oh, do you have one in mind? Do you already know? Is there a haunted house? Well, yeah, the one that you said. The one that you just said. Oh, I guess so. Yeah, yeah, that's probably true, yeah.

Did you email them back? No. Is that we want that? I don't know if we'd get any results, if I'm honest. We'd probably end up on a list where we get spammed forever as well. Yeah. This is from Frank O the Frank, or Frank to the Frank, sorry. Hashtag Weekly Planet Pod.

Frank to the Frank. Hey, mates. Just wondering, as Nintendo Switch owners, both of us? Just me. Just you. I haven't bought one yet. Have you invested in the Scott Pilgrim game that was re-released for its 10-year anniversary?

It's like a side-scrolling fighting game. It is. It keeps up the good work from Sonny Huddersfield. I never played it, and I think I will give it another go. Because there wasn't a rights issue with it. Maybe it was at Ubisoft or something. I can't remember. Yeah, I think it was.

So it's based on the comic, but it came out at the same time as the movie. That's right. Which is also based on the comic. Yes. I've heard it's good. It's like it's old school, isn't it? It's an old school beat-em-up brawler. That's right, yeah.

Like a Streets of Rage. Apparently that new Streets of Rage is really good as well. It looks good. I used to love the Streets of Rage games. Yeah. God. The car would come and shoot the missiles, remember? I remember.

God damn. What's next, Mason? We've got one more at least. Can you do us that? James, I've got so many. Can you do us that favour? I've got 100 emails. Okay.

This is from Lily. Hello. Do you have opinions on Sandman? Yes. Hey, guys, I've recently got back into the pod, so I may have missed you talking about this, and I was wondering if you had any thoughts about the upcoming Sandman TV show. Neil Gaiman described it as being more of a modern-day take

than a completely direct adaptation, although he did mention on his Tumblr that they're doing the 24-hour diner, so it's presumably sticking pretty close. Are you guys excited for it, and what do you think about comic book adaptations sticking close to the originals? Cheers, Lily. Also, can I be the official teen trans Brit who makes spreadsheets about DC TV shows for fun of the podcast?

Fuck yeah. Yeah. Thank you, Lily. I'm very excited for Santa. I'm excited for this, yeah. Gwendolyn Christie is going to be Lucifer in this. Yes. Which is interesting because-

Charles Dance is in it. Yeah. Because we were talking about Constantine just earlier. Yes. In which Lucifer is also played by, wait, not Lucifer, Gabriel, Archangel Gabriel is played by Tilda Swinton. Yes. So both of these have had a gender swapped angelic kind of vibe, which is interesting.

It's an interesting idea and aesthetic. I agree. Because when you think like. They're all like mythical ghostly beings. Yeah, and sort of the weird androgyny and stuff like that. I would love to see, just once I would like to see like an Old Testament version of an angel in one of these movies, which is just all teeth and eyes. Just a nightmare to behold.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because of what they really look like or whatever supposedly. Drunk, drunk and crazy. Yeah, yeah, for sure. Great stuff. I'm excited for that. Yeah, there's a. When's that out?

Let me find out. I don't know when that's out. Yeah. But yeah, there's one particular issue of Sandman, it's quite early in the run, where Dr. Destiny, supervillain Doc, because quite early in the run it's more attached to the regular DC universe, like it's referenced a lot more. Okay.

And then the longer it goes, the further it isn't. So in one of the early comic, like issue five or six or something like that, Dr. Destiny acquires Dream's magical ruby dream stone, which he can use to command people, and he traps a whole bunch of people in a diner for 24 hours and they all go mad and murder each other. And it's pretty, it's like as far to horror as Neil Gaiman went in the comic book.

Yeah, right. I think he was just like, I think his rationale for it was. How far in is that, did you say? Like issue six, five or six. But I think his rationale was like, I may not do this again, but I'll put it in here so people are like, I don't know what's going to happen for the rest of this. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You just put in like the most horrific. Yeah. It's like a very horrific 24 hours and then Dream shows up, but he's too late. I know, right? Too busy. We'll get back to that. Having a snooze.

I have a hard copy and a digital copy. Yeah, I'm very excited for that. There have been some successful and less successful Neil Gaiman adaptations recently. Good Omens, which some people like. Friend of the show, Andy Matthews, doesn't like it. I liked it a lot. Me too.

And American Gods is still trundling along. And good, apparently. I liked the first season a lot. I didn't go back to season two and three. Apparently there were some troubles on set and production difficulties, but I should get back onto it because it's on Amazon Prime, so it's free. Yeah, it's always there all the time.

People always say when we say it's free, people are like, I don't think you know what free means. I don't think you know what free means. Do you know what free means, Mason? Yeah, it means you pay for a subscription to Amazon Prime and then you get it for free. For free like, I don't think you know what free means. I don't think you know what free means. Do you know what free means, Mason? Yeah, it means you pay for a subscription to Amazon Prime and then you get it for free. For free every time there's an episode. Thank you.

That's what I thought it meant. This is an email from Admiral Hackbar. He says, I didn't lie to my friend, but I did the next best thing. Yes. Hey, guys, I've been trying to convince my friend to listen to your podcast, but he's too familiar with the show to lie. So instead I nagged him repeatedly over many months, met always with I don't care about comic book news or they're not even funny. but he is too familiar with the show to lie. So instead I nagged him repeatedly over many months,

met always with, I don't care about comic book news or they're not even funny. Until yesterday. We're sitting together in class and when he opens his laptop, what should be on the screen but a Google Chrome tab displaying the TeePublic Weekly Planet merch page. A victory for the weekly wackity-doos. I agree. Can we be made the official package deal of the podcast?

Yes. Absolutely. That is an absolute win for us, James. We've done it again. We've gone from they're not even funny to, I mean, maybe he hasn't changed his opinion, but he is willing to purchase some merch. So I think that's important. Turns out we are funny to that guy at least.

Or we've just battered down his defenses until he's like, ugh. I'll take it. Yeah. I love it. What's next, Mason? Here's one more email, James. I love one more email. It's from Travis. Hello, weekly wackity dads.

Travis here. I'm the host of the Watchmen Minute Podcast. It's a movies by minute podcast where we did an episode about every minute of the director's cut of Zack Snyder's Watchmen. Does that include the Black Freighter? Ooh. Email back in, Travis. Please do. Travis. Email back. Travis. I know it sounds crazy, but movies by minutes is a whole genre of podcasting.

It is. Oh, I know, yeah. My question is, gun to your head, gun to your dick, what feature-length movie could you podcast about one minute of the movie at a time? None of them. Couldn't do it. Really? What would you do?

It'd have to be something dense. Maybe The Phantom Menace. I reckon I could do The Phantom Menace. I reckon I could do... I thinkace. I reckon I could do. I think there is one. The first movie that came to my head just now is Ocean's Eleven, but not the Rat Pack one. No, no, no, no.

The Clooney Pit one. There's a lot going on. Yeah, there's a lot of like. It would also be frustrating to watch one minute at a time. Oh, yeah, for sure. I would rather just watch the movie. I wonder what the. I mean, obviously, I'd be fascinated,

like from email back in, Travis, like obviously the system is you watch, you time out one minute and you watch it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Then do you take notes? Do you talk about the production? Do you talk about the. If a scene is about to end but there's like a second left, you have to pause it and then wait for the next.

Yeah. Presumably there are. How dedicated are people to the. Do you have to pause it and then wait for the next? Yeah. Presumably there are. You can break it up. How dedicated are people to the – James, this whole thing is fascinating. Let's take it over. I bet that – yeah, we should. I bet there's like different podcasts probably have different rules and there's people who are like get a load of these casuals

who like let the scene end. We would never let the scene end. No, we wouldn't. We will end one half of a second before the scene ends because that's where that's podcast that's podcasting podcasting yeah god damn it no it have to be something you couldn't do it with anything no what's it have to be something where i have a lot to say maybe and that changes rapidly what's a movie what's a movie that you would just, you've got the day off and try and imagine that if you can. I can't.

And you just want to watch a movie for fun. Movie for fun? Yeah. Look, I'd probably go to a streaming series, if I'm honest. Well, you can't. Just a movie you like. This is a movie I feel good about it and I just enjoy it. I could probably do Ghostbusters.

I could do the Blues Brothers. I originally said Dread, but once we did Dread, I stopped watching Dread for Caravan of Garbage. So that ruined that. So it can't be one of our homework movies. No, I really like Sunshine, like genuinely. I know it's a joke, but I do put that on quite a bit. I think also if it's a movie you really enjoy,

I imagine you could squeeze out, like you could just watch a minute and just have a lot to say about it. And also you don't have to do – Do you want to do it? Is that what you're doing to me here? No. Is that what we're doing? No, I'm just curious.

That sounds like a lot of work for us. I'm saying, like, I could do it for Iron Man. And I know we've done a commentary. We'll probably do a caravan of garbage, but I reckon I could very easily, I could do Iron Man. Because there's a lot going on. And just about the've done a commentary. We'll probably do a caravan of garbage, but I reckon I could very easily, I could do Iron Man. Because there's a lot going on. And just about the future of the series.

For sure. And bearing in mind, you don't have to do this. You do a minute a week. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's true. But you'd probably bank a few, wouldn't you? Yeah, you do. You do two minutes a week.

Two minutes a week, yeah. Two minutes a week. Make it worth your while. Yeah, that's right. Is that the show, though? That is the whole show. Thank you so much, everybody, for listening. We definitely appreciate it.
