Red hot comic book movie news. Shooting up your ball. The Weekly Planet. The Weekly Planet. Welcome back everybody to another episode of the Weekly Planet, The Weekly Planet Welcome back everybody to another episode of The Weekly Planet where we talk movies and comics and TV shows. My name is James, also known as Mr Sunday.
Starting point is 00:01:12 With me as always is my co-host Nick Mason. It's great to be here. Now you say that you don't like the theme, but you just silently air-drummed to it. It's a good... A la the gorilla in that chocolate advertisement. Everything about it is good except that one line, Mason. You're telling me it's not a great theme song?
Starting point is 00:01:27 You know what we could do? What's that? We could replace it with In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins. You think he'd let us? Yeah. Yeah, he would. And he wouldn't know also. He also wouldn't know.
Starting point is 00:01:35 No one would tell him because he's probably not on Twitter. Maybe someone would tell his daughter, star of Emily in Paris or whatever. That's who that is, isn't it? Lily Collins. Jinx. You can't speak for the rest of the episode. What a podcast this is going to be. All right, go ahead.
Starting point is 00:01:59 I release you from your curse. Thank you. I appreciate it. Because we've got big news this week, Mason. That's right. We've got Justice League. So much news, more than one man is required to you. I appreciate it. Because we've got big news this week, Mason. That's right. We've got Justice League. So much news, more than one man is required to speak. It's true.
Starting point is 00:02:08 Under normal circumstances, you would definitely just take the reins. But this week, it's too much. Justice League was leaked. We found out a bit more about how WandaVision was affected by COVID. Disney Plus numbers. And what Paul Bettany's ears looked like during the's right. During the production of WandaVision. Very weird. I like that.
Starting point is 00:02:27 What have we got here? Disney Plus subs, Black Widow cinema release, some Falcon and the Winter Soldier reactions, James Gunn shooting down rumours. He's good at that. Pepe Le Pew cancelled. Yeah. That'd be a great thumbnail, wouldn't it?
Starting point is 00:02:42 And it'd be like with my arms crossed, but like has council culture got too far? Are you back-to-back with Pepe Le Pew? I'm back-to-back. A la Jean-Claude Van Damme in Double Impact. I'm in solidarity. You're both wearing like a tank top. Yes, with sex pest Pepe Le Pew.
Starting point is 00:02:56 You're going to have stink lines coming off you. That's right. And the number one movie has shifted again. Thank God. Yeah, I know, right? And then we're going to get into a topic which we talked about last week, which is small details in movies that completely break the reality of the movie for you.
Starting point is 00:03:11 Because someone, and I don't have the details here. Keith Fallon. Thank you, Keith, emailed in last week and asked us about that. And then as soon as the episode finished, we're like, oh, yeah, there's a ton of those. Finally, a good message from somebody. Do you know what I mean? It took long enough.
Starting point is 00:03:23 Thanks, Keith. We're including everyone in our lives, by the way. We totally are. Every text, every call message from somebody. Do you know what I mean? It took long enough. Thanks, Keith. We're including everyone in our lives, by the way. We totally are. Every text, every call, every email. Yep, exactly. Finally, God. Finally, Keith has come through. But maybe go out and hi, Keith.
Starting point is 00:03:35 We don't want to hear from you ever again, okay? Yeah. This is your moment in the sun. Now, a bit of shush, Keith. So, yeah, there's time codes in the description. Colleen takes care of that every week because he does the edit. That's right. Because he's a fantastic person and I have too many kids.
Starting point is 00:03:50 And you're not going to do it, I assume. No. So there you go. So that's how it goes. I've got too many kids here. I've got a phone here, a pair of glasses. A drink. This drink.
Starting point is 00:04:00 That's right. It's too many. Okay, so you probably heard this this week, but if you were lucky enough to watch Tom and Jerry on HBO Max or Go or Now, I think it's Max, we've got a few, then you might have been able to watch the first two hours of the four-hour epic that is Zack Snyder's Justice League extended cut. This is fascinating.
Starting point is 00:04:17 Yes, it is. How does this happen? You know, right? Like what is the process? Like if they're like, okay, we've got Justice League here, the Snyder Cut. It's on the server. Yeah. A drag and drop, presumably to a folder.
Starting point is 00:04:32 A drop box. There's some thumbnails. Maybe there's a preview option. It would be to like a hard drive that's not external to anything else, so you can't hack into it, presumably. Yeah, right. Yeah. So I guess it's just-
Starting point is 00:04:44 Not even next to each other in the alphabet. No, they're really not. Unless it's Zack Snyder's Tom and Jerry. Maybe it's like a list of, like it's the next movie that was coming out. Yeah, maybe. Maybe they go numerically. Some have said deliberate. Well, that's the thing.
Starting point is 00:04:59 We'll never know probably. Yeah. But anything can be a marketing gimmick. Also, here's my question, and you might have the details there. How long did this stay up? Was it exactly? Two hours. It was two hours.
Starting point is 00:05:09 It was two hours, yeah. It was about two hours until somebody ratted them out. Oh, okay. Also, I had to peruse around some torrent sites, not because I wanted to watch it because I don't want to watch like half of a movie. I want to watch four hours in a row, Mason, but it's not anywhere. Okay.
Starting point is 00:05:23 So nobody grabbed it and ripped it or anything or that part of it anyway. How about this? I mean, it will be. How about a conspiracy theory I've just invented? Sure. What if it's to drive traffic to Tom and Jerry? Quite possibly, yes. Because people will be like, nobody's watching Tom and Jerry these days.
Starting point is 00:05:38 But if we say maybe Justice League will pop up if you click it enough times. And then you could, I'd imagine there might have been a spike in people signing up. Maybe, yeah. Yeah. I mean, which will probably happen this week anyway when it comes out because next week we're doing Justice League again. Oh, my God, yes.
Starting point is 00:05:54 Yes. Are you excited? Yes. I genuinely am. Whatever the outcome is. Yeah, man. It's going to be, I'm jazzed. I'm jazzed too.
Starting point is 00:06:01 We discussed doing it as Caravan of Garbage as well, but it's probably too early and I kind of want to get a bit of distance. I understand. Because you burned yourself before. I burned myself before. But that and like, you know, because then you find out all the behind the scenes stuff and interviews and all that when, you know, time kind of goes by. Conversely, I will always stand by my immediate opinions.
Starting point is 00:06:22 Which was? Even if I change them. Oh, okay. And then I'll say I always thought that. You always thought that, yeah, absolutely. It's how I do. But next week we're covering it extensively, and who knows what that's going to look like.
Starting point is 00:06:33 I reckon we could do it as Caravan of Garbage. I think we could strike while the iron's hot. I think we could, but then what do we do for the episode also? Oh, good point. I'm not against it. I just, I don't know. I like the hindsight, but also part of me is like, yeah, I would love to do that.
Starting point is 00:06:45 But then it also, like the edit for Ben would be like, it'd be a quick turnaround. And we'd probably split it into two or three maybe. I don't really know. We still could. It's not possible. We'd have to get Ben to go on HBO Max and watch Tom and Jerry constantly just in the hope that it'll pop up.
Starting point is 00:07:00 That's right. Because we're not paying him, Ben. Oh, no, definitely not. We're not made of money, Mason. That's right. And also for those people who, Ben. Oh, no, definitely not. We're not getting him there. We're not made of money, Mason. That's right. And also, for those people who are signed up to BigSandwich.co, which is our subscription service, a new thing goes up whenever a new podcast episode goes up.
Starting point is 00:07:12 That's right. And this week we're doing, it'll be up by now because we're doing it after this, a 300 commentary, which is not Zack Snyder's first movie, but he's kind of the big Hollywood special effects epic that got him Watchmen. Was his first movie Dawn of the Dead? I think so, but he might have done other things beforehand. He doesn't strike me as a student film guy, but maybe I'm wrong. Maybe he did commercials.
Starting point is 00:07:33 He probably did, like a Michael Bublé. No, the other one. The other Michael. I knew that was wrong as soon as I said it. So, yeah, Dawn of the Dead was the first. Wow. And then he did, yeah, so, but, no, short film, sorry. He did Playground in 1990 and he did The Lost Tape
Starting point is 00:07:51 and his terrifying last days revealed in 2004. About the Toy Story character. That's right, exactly. I'm just checking what this is. Oh, no, that is a short film that went along with Dawn of the Dead. So, yeah, it was Playground in 1990 and then he just did music videos. There we go. So here we go.
Starting point is 00:08:07 He did Lizzie Borden. He did Peter Murphy. He did Morrissey. He did Soul of Silent. Lizzie Borden, the suspected serial killer. From 19, yep, from 1989. Okay. An American heavy metal band.
Starting point is 00:08:20 So there you go. I've never heard of them. ZZ Top he did. Wow. He did Rod Stewart in 2005. So there you go. Okay, wow. He did Leave Virginia Alone. There you go. I've never heard of him. ZZ Top he did. He did Rod Stewart in 2005. So there you go. Okay, well. He didn't leave Virginia alone.
Starting point is 00:08:28 There you go. Don't know what that is. Do you want me to sing it? No. Okay. I mean, I practiced, but whatever. Let's just move on. You practiced for this exact scenario where I said,
Starting point is 00:08:39 can you go back through Zack Snyder's filmography and find a music video and then you'll sing from the music video? But I knew you'd say no, so I practiced my response to that. That's what I've been practicing. What's the song called? I just closed it. Leave Virginia. Something like that, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:53 I closed it. Do you think it's a sequel to Meet Virginia? It might just be. Probably is, yeah. I imagine so. So there you go. So next week, Justice League. Get hyped like it's 2017 all over again, baby.
Starting point is 00:09:05 Do you think Drops of Jupiter is the sequel to Jupiter Ascending? Well, which was first? But yes. The song was first? Then yes. Okay, great. Good. I also practiced that response.
Starting point is 00:09:17 Terrific. Yeah, pretty good. I didn't put as much work into that one, obviously. So you might have seen, I don't know if you watched the WandaVision Behind the Scenes. Not yet, no. I didn't because I'm like, I'm done with this. I only saw the stills.
Starting point is 00:09:27 Again, the ears. Yeah, big blue Paul Bettany head and ears. Yeah. What do you think of that? Do you think they will eventually give us the option to watch the majority of the show sans special effects? Maybe. It's just him wandering around with his big bald bobblehead in his ears.
Starting point is 00:09:43 Like a blue man. I'd hope so. In a blue man crippling him. Yeah, yeah. I'd hope so. In a dream scenario, sure. You see also, I didn't have this down, but Benedict Cumberbatch this week was like, they were like, do you want to be Thrawn? And he's like, I don't want to be painted blue, no. Because he's like, I've got kids.
Starting point is 00:09:57 I don't have time for it. I don't have time for it. I was crying and everyone yelled at me. I don't want to do it again. Yeah, they didn't say that, but there you go. Anyway. So we did find out though,
Starting point is 00:10:07 that one division was affected by COVID cause they couldn't do any kind of reshoots or, and they were pressed for time. Initially they were going to release three episodes in the first bracket, bracket, but then they needed to finish the special effects. So what they ended up doing was not doing that and releasing three for review. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:28 And then they released two and then one every subsequent weeks. But there were other narratives which they couldn't get to in the final week, which I think also why some of the green screen and the sky stuff wasn't necessarily 100%. But there was going to be more Monica Rambeau stuff. There was going to be more Darcy stuff. Than the one line she got in the final episode. Yeah, I suspect there was going to be more of her journey
Starting point is 00:10:53 from the outskirts of town to the town centre for the final battle. Yeah, absolutely. But I guess not. Guess not. There was going to be more John Krasinski. All these things were going to happen. That's right. Was there going to be Cumberbatch?
Starting point is 00:11:06 I don't know. They talked about it this week and he was like, I think he said, like, I can't really talk about it. I'd imagine they tried to make it happen. But he's got kids. He doesn't want to be bullied. Yeah, of course. He doesn't want kids.
Starting point is 00:11:15 Yeah. But there was going to be a scene where the kids. I smurfified myself. Hi, Dr. Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme. He goes, they go into the basement and have a battle with Mr. Scratch Dr. Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme. He goes, they go into the basement and have a battle with Mr. Scratchy where he goes. The rabbit.
Starting point is 00:11:29 Yeah. The kids do. And I think Vision might be there, but they go to get the dark hold and they're like, oh, it's Mr. Scratchy. And he turns into a demon.
Starting point is 00:11:36 And it's like this Goonies style, like, and the, like saying the transformation was going to be like American werewolf in London kind of thing. Oh my goodness. But they ran out of time and they, they couldn't do it. And they said, they're probably never going to be like American Werewolf in London kind of thing. Oh, my goodness. But they ran out of time and they couldn't do it and they said they're probably never going to release this thing
Starting point is 00:11:48 because it's very unfinished. Oh, well. Just painted a rabbit blue and it died. It's lead paint. Killed it. Yeah, so there you go. Are you surprised by any of that? I'm not.
Starting point is 00:11:58 No, no. It also explains some things. It felt like there were some things that didn't quite add up for me in that last episode and, yeah, I think this makes sense. In retrospect, with a little bit more distance of that, how do you feel about that? Yeah, I liked it. Yeah, I never hated it.
Starting point is 00:12:12 But, you know, now I'm just over it. Next thing. Next thing, Mason. More content. One week of breathing room, more content. You're right. I think the only thing ultimately that I've changed opinion on probably is the idea of like, you know,
Starting point is 00:12:26 when Wanda releases all the people from their horrible magical prison and then Monica says, oh, they'll never understand what you sacrificed. And it's like, you tortured them for two weeks. Yeah, that's true. They thought they were never getting out of this hell. They have a pretty good idea what's going on. Yeah, absolutely. Speaking of, things coming up hot, so get ready for this. Falcon and the Winter Soldier is coming this hell. They have a pretty good idea what's going on. Yeah, absolutely. Speaking of, things coming up hot, so get ready for this.
Starting point is 00:12:46 Falcon and the Winter Soldier is coming this week. There's been some just reactions online and people are like, this is the best thing that's ever happened. Oh, my God, I saw it earlier. Everybody I knew said it was the best and we're all going to kill ourselves because it's so great. So look forward to that. We might be getting an early thing, so we might have
Starting point is 00:13:02 a spoiler-free review. I think it's very early Friday morning Australian time that we might have a spoiler-free review. I think it's very early Friday morning Australian time that we can release a spoiler-free review. So if that comes through, we'll probably do that and then we're going to be doing our recaps. Could we just do, like even if we don't get it, we could just get some audio of us going, Oh, my God, we're going to kill ourselves.
Starting point is 00:13:22 Oh, my God, I don't even want to watch the rest. I'm just going to do it. But you shouldn't. We're chilling so hard here. So, yeah. So that's, I mean, positive reactions are good. They sure are. People are loving the buddy cop comedy styles.
Starting point is 00:13:36 But, again, I would have to know who, look, whenever I see any, not that I don't think it will probably be entertaining. I think it will be good, yeah. But every time I see advanced screenings, they're incredible. I always want to know. It means nothing. Who is the person? What have they previously been thrilled about?
Starting point is 00:13:53 What's their relationship to the producers? You know, that kind of stuff. It generally means next to nothing. Yes. Because do you ever see a bad one? Nope. No. But also at the same time, if things are bad,
Starting point is 00:14:04 they don't do this really, do they? Yeah. If things are horrible. My favourite thing, I think I've mentioned this to you privately, is like when you see like ads for musicals. Yeah. You know, like on the side of a bus or whatever. Spellbinding.
Starting point is 00:14:15 Yeah, or like, yes, what they've done. Simply magical. It's somebody who's just been like, I'm going to give a glowing review so my name appears on the poster. And it's always like, you'll have a shreckingly good time or whatever. And it's like, no one says that about the music man. No, they don't do that.
Starting point is 00:14:34 Why would you have a shreckingly good time at that? One day we'll get a quote. You know who's getting quotes, Dave Lee? He's getting quotes, mate. Because he says everything's a shreckingly good time. You can't stop him. But he's right. He's never been wrong.
Starting point is 00:14:45 So there you go. Also, I hear the Shrek musical's very bad. You can't stop him. But he's right. He's never been wrong. So there you go. Also, I hear the Shrek musical's very bad. Oh, is it? I don't know. I heard you had a Shrek-ly good time if you went, though. That's what I heard. Oh, my goodness. I don't want to see a dude in realistic Shrek makeup.
Starting point is 00:14:57 No, thank you. I don't want that. He's not even giant. He'd be like a biggish man. Biggish man. I don't want that. He's probably played by Rob Millsy Mills. Seems like a nice enough guy, but I don't want that, Mason.
Starting point is 00:15:09 Initially, I didn't want this biggish man in green makeup, but I had a shreckingly good time. So, in other news, Disney Plus passed 100 million subs this week. Whoa, that means Kathleen Kennedy's out. It seems that way. She's failed.
Starting point is 00:15:24 There was a Disney investors call and she's still in. Huh. Probably because of the 100 million Disney Plus subscribers. What I do want to do when she eventually leaves, because she probably will in the next two years because she's been doing it for nearly a decade now, what I want to do is just go back through the years and just like do all the articles. Because for those people who don't know, on Big Sandwich we also have
Starting point is 00:15:43 a clickbait podcast where Mason berates me with clickbait. It's just breaking my soul every time we do it. But just to go back through all that, Kathleen Kennedy is definitely fired. She's definitely, yeah, exactly. And then, you know, when she does leave, and maybe she will get fired, I don't know. Maybe, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:16:01 The whims of the shareholders, we don't know. It'll be like, see, we knew it. We knew it all along. But anyway, so the 2025 target was $100 million. So four years early. Yes. That's very impressive. So what I'm just looking at now because I've entered this before,
Starting point is 00:16:19 so I think it's now the second most biggest and the Netflix paid subscribers, I think it's about 200 million, I want to say. About, well, okay. But I might be wrong. Which has taken them a decade. A decade about that. Yeah. So Disney Plus could very well overtake this.
Starting point is 00:16:33 And also I think about, I think with Netflix is they kind of need to step up the quality of their shows because a lot of stuff that comes out I'm just like, no, thank you. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Not all. There's still some really good stuff that comes out, but I feel like there used to be better like, no, thank you. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Not all. There's still some really good stuff that comes out, but I feel like there used to be better stuff, right,
Starting point is 00:16:48 or more better stuff. Am I wrong? Like what? Give me an example. What's the last action movie you watched on Netflix that you weren't like, whatever? The Old Guard, I think. Okay, yeah, that was pretty decent.
Starting point is 00:17:00 But even then, it wasn't phenomenal. Do you know what I mean? Sure, I understand, yeah. Yeah. I don't know. It's just something to think about, Netflix. Yeah, but wasn't like phenomenal, do you know what I mean? Sure, I understand, yeah. I don't know, it's just something to think about, Netflix. Yeah, but I mean, well exactly, it's been, I cannot recall anything in the last few months where I've done it.
Starting point is 00:17:11 Their TV's definitely better, I feel. Their series are better, but yeah. Like I think we've said, Netflix seems to be a lot of like generic, there's sort of a post-apocalyptic wasteland and people are being pursued by people in like Special Forces outfits and they've got helmets with a lot of eyes on them.
Starting point is 00:17:29 Oh, my God. You know what I mean? Yeah, I love those. I love all of those shows. So, yeah, there you go. In other news, last bit of Marvel news. No, second last bit of Marvel news. Black Widow is still getting a cinematic release that is on track
Starting point is 00:17:40 for next month in early May, depending where you are in the world. Not going to be a day and date with Disney Plus at this point. I see. Which could change. That's true. But that seems like a lock at this point. You know what that means. No Time to Die is probably happening in October.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Probably. Probably. My goodness. How long has that been delayed in total, like two years or something? I think it was like March or May last year maybe. Okay, right. I don't remember. Okay, 100 years.
Starting point is 00:18:07 100 years, yeah, correct. It feels that way. Now it's in Eating Crow news. Here we go. Are we eating crows? Yeah, me specifically. Uh-oh. The Illuminati.
Starting point is 00:18:16 Do you remember last week you were like- Who's the Illuminati? And they're good? And I'm like, yeah, I think they're pretty solid. Oh, I see what this is, yeah. They very publicly made a statement about Zac Efron. Sorry, Marvel and James Gunn are looking for a Zac Efron type for Adam Warlock. And then James Gunn came out on Twitter and said,
Starting point is 00:18:34 there is no casting underway for Volume 3, and in what world would I only cast a Caucasian if the character has gold skin? And if I wanted a Zac Efron type, wouldn't I go Zac Efron? Where do you get this nonsense? So I guess from my perspective. Probably a source close to James Gunn probably. Maybe they got it from giant freaking robots. They may have.
Starting point is 00:18:52 So I guess I've just never got to endorse anything or anyone ever again. Good call. Because I feel like every time I do this, something terrible happens. Well, I'm going to endorse the Illuminati. Yeah. So again, I will stand by they've got some things right before. And they even doubled down on this and they were just like, this is what we heard.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Oh. And look. Do you think James Gunn is playing a. Fast and loose? Well, also, maybe it's the casting call that they got, like the studio were putting out and not him specifically. I don't know. But he said it's not happening.
Starting point is 00:19:18 So it's probably not, I'd imagine. Anyway, again, I'm never recommending anything. And if it does happen, then we're losing faith in James Gunn. I think we should. So what do you think about that? Adam Warlock. Zac Efron. Because I imagine if you're going to get Zac Efron Adam Warlock, you want him like the most
Starting point is 00:19:36 ripped he's ever been. But apparently he's not going to do that anymore. Yeah, but CGI or whatever. Put a big gold chest on him. Put a big green sock and then put a big gold chest on him, yeah. It looks like and then put a big gold chest on him, yeah. It looks like a mully grub. Just have him. Or glowworm, whatever.
Starting point is 00:19:51 Yeah, he doesn't want to work at it also. Just put him in a big green sleeping bag and he waddles out on the set and then he just CGI over the top. Perfect, and I love it. Mason, Pepe Le Pew is cancelled. Do you think at some point stars are just going to. I don't think you heard me, Mason. Oh, look, I'm putting it off as long as to- I don't think you heard me, Mason.
Starting point is 00:20:07 Oh, look, I'm putting it off as long as possible. I don't want to believe it, James. I'm just saying at a certain point I reckon certain actors are just going to license out their appearance. Yes. And because they've already been scanned. Sure. And they'll just put them in. Zac Efron will just be like, put my face on this and I'll take the money.
Starting point is 00:20:23 Yeah, totally. And I'll do the voiceover in my house and that's it. Absolutely. Like Michael Biehn did in one of the Aliens, Aliens 3. And like Mr. Biehn did. In the cartoons of Mr. Biehn. Yep. Have you ever seen those?
Starting point is 00:20:35 Oh, like seconds at a time, I guess. They really lose the magic. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. Just not good. Because it's easy to draw a man on the top of a car. Anyone can do that.
Starting point is 00:20:44 Pulling ropes on the steering wheel. It's draw a man on the top of a car. Anyone can do that. Pulling ropes on the steering wheel. It's driving the car from the top of the car. Though Rowan Atkinson has said it's like an exhausting character to play, which I'd imagine it would be. The gurning alone, James. What's that mean? So when you make your face funny. That's true.
Starting point is 00:20:58 That would be quite the taxing feat. Yes. Remember when he crashed his Ferrari or whatever that was in the news? I always found it funny that that dude had a Ferrari. Rowan Atkinson. He just doesn't look like the type. But then again, they never are. You see a Ferrari, you look at the guy in that and you're like, doesn't really fit, does it? Doesn't really work. Kind of a
Starting point is 00:21:13 goober in that car. You expect like a Mark Wahlberg to step out. Do you know what I mean? For sure. And it's normally just some old goober. It's normally somebody who looks like one of the hosts of Top Gear. Yeah, that's right. Exactly. Like the host of one of the hosts of top gear yeah that's right exactly like if you saw one of the hosts of top gear in a ferrari you'd be like oh it's one of the hosts of top gear of course they have a ferrari right but if you just if you didn't
Starting point is 00:21:34 know who the hosts of top gear were and one of those guys went out you'd be like a midlife crisis what is this yeah what's happened here yeah as women our life stages come with unique risk factors, like high blood pressure developed during pregnancy, which can put us two times more at risk of heart disease or stroke. Know your risks. Visit heartandstroke.ca. FX's The Veil explores the surprising and fraught relationship between two women who play a deadly game of truth and lies on the road from Istanbul to Paris and London. One woman has a secret, the other a mission to reveal it before
Starting point is 00:22:12 thousands of lives are lost. FX's The Veil, starring Elizabeth Moss, is now streaming on Disney+. Okay, Pepe Le Pew has been cancelled. So Pepe Le Pew was set to appear in... When you say he's been cancelled, you mean he's been cancelled since like 1983, which is the last time he's been in anything. I think it might have been. No, he was in the last Bass Jam. Was he? Okay, right.
Starting point is 00:22:36 So 1995 or whatever. Yeah, do you want a description of the scene? 96, I think. Pepe was set to appear in a black and white Casablanca-like Rick's Cafe sequence. Pepe playing a bartender. Great reference. Thank you. So playing a bartender.
Starting point is 00:22:51 Very, very current. Yeah, I think so. Well, remember they're going to the different movies? The Cyberverse or whatever? Well, then he should have been in the Merovingian's bar. Yeah, that would have made more sense, wouldn't it? Because he's doing weird sex stuff, isn't he? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:03 Yeah, he talks about it quite openly in that movie. Starts hitting on a woman at a bar played by Santo. He begins kissing her arm, which she pulls back, then slamming Pepe into the chair next to hers. She then pours a drink on Pepe and slaps him hard, sending him spinning in a stool, which is then stopped by LeBron James' hand. James and Bugs Money are looking for Lola,
Starting point is 00:23:21 and Pepe knows her whereabouts. Pepe then tells the guys that Penelope Cat has filed a restraining order against him. James makes a remark in the script that Pepe can't grab other tunes without their consent. So that will no longer be in the movie. Whoa. Yeah, so who gives a shit? And I
Starting point is 00:23:37 always hated Pepe Le Pew, in all honesty. Sure. I always, like, even as a kid, I'm like, this guy's too kissy for my liking. It's weird. I don't like it does anybody care about this? is he anybody's favourite character? nobody honestly cares I can understand what's next, who's next, cancel culture, whatever
Starting point is 00:23:54 I understand all that but this specifically, does anybody really care? I reckon there's probably people out there who are like, I'm a little bit like Bugs Bunny I'm funny and I've got jokes and whatever I love carrots I'm just a happy-go-lucky kind of guy but who's like, I'm a little bit like Bugs Bunny, you know, I'm funny and I've got jokes and whatever. I love carrots. I'm just a happy-go-lucky kind of guy. But who's like, I'm a horrible pest who stinks.
Starting point is 00:24:10 That's who I empathise with the most. Actually, there was going to be a Max Landis written Pepe Le Pew movie from a few years ago. Do you remember that? Guess someone does identify as a pest who stinks. So there you go. Last bit of news, though. The number one movie in the world.
Starting point is 00:24:27 Whoa. Get ready for it, Mason. I'm ready. Drum roll, please. It's Avatar again. It's Avatar. It's back. Avatar.
Starting point is 00:24:39 Avatar is back. We did it, folks. So. I knew we all could do it. I said, let's all knuckle down and go to whatever country that it's back in cinemas at. Yes. We'll it, folks. I knew we all could do it. I said, let's all knuckle down and go to whatever country that it's back in cinemas at. We'll all go there. We'll buy some tickets. We're going to be swept away in the magic
Starting point is 00:24:51 of Pandora bracelets. Yeah, that's right. And just live in a world where everybody's having a great environmental... It's wild they never did a Pandora bracelet like merch crossover situation. You don't think they did? Surely not. Let's have a look. Okay. That is going to be a... you're not going to find anything. I'll find everything.
Starting point is 00:25:08 Google, if you, yeah, okay. But anyway, good, I mean, it seemed weird that, you know, that a James Cameron movie wasn't the most popular movie in the world. It is strange, isn't it? So, yeah, so anyway, they're both Disney properties, so it doesn't matter. There's one on Pinterest. Oh, no, there's not, mate.
Starting point is 00:25:24 There's been some, oh, wait, hang on a sec. Whoa. Pandora Disney Jasmine. No, I'm sorry. I thought I found it. I thought I'd found it, Mason, for a second, but I hadn't. So there you go. Because you can have – you know, because the Pandora bracelet's a bracelet.
Starting point is 00:25:36 You put on a different thing. You can have Jake Sully trinket. Both forms. Both forms of Jake Sully. Human form. Yeah, and then a really big version. Yeah, a really tall one. You can have military guy in power loader trinket. Both forms. Both forms of Jake Sullen. Human form. Yeah, and then a really big version. Yeah, a really tall one. You can have military guy in power loader.
Starting point is 00:25:48 Yep. Trinket. Sigourney Weaver trinket. Oh, my God. And everyone gets the dual form. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a real long one. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:55 Giovanni Ribisi trinket. Big dragon trinket. Dude who got shot with big arrows at the end in a mech trinket. Yep. Yeah. That's it. That's all the trinkets. Maybe some foliage. Folich trinket. Yep. Yeah. That's it. That's all the trinkets. Maybe some foliage.
Starting point is 00:26:07 Foliage trinket. Yeah. Good, good, good. Yeah. Great stuff. Because you'd have to buy a bunch because then they could all hide in the foliage. This is going to be good when we finally make this crossover happen. Those Pandora things.
Starting point is 00:26:15 This is our first bit of proper merch. We're going to make avatar themed Pandora bracelet trinkets. Two brands we have no association with, but let's make it happen. Yeah. Those are nowhere anymore, those Pandora stores. Have you noticed? I honestly haven't noticed. Exactly, you haven't noticed.
Starting point is 00:26:30 No, it's true. You don't notice anymore. Yeah. So there you go. That's all the news that we could fit in this week. There was more, but we were like, let's keep it tight. Let's just dial it back. Dial it back.
Starting point is 00:26:41 We're like, settle down, news. That's right, because we want to get into now what's the smallest detail which is taking you out of a movie by Keith which you wrote in. But he's never writing it again because this is a great idea. And one of the ones that we mentioned last week was I had Photoshopped family photos and they look really bad. Yep. And you had one in particular with security footage that just is footage
Starting point is 00:27:01 from previous scenes in a show and or movie. Yeah, that's right. And there's just no effort to recreate that in any way. But then we're like, there's so many more. There is so many more. Why do we even enjoy movies and TV shows if they're constantly doing these things and ruining stuff? Makes no sense to me. So I put the call out on Patreon.
Starting point is 00:27:16 You are on a, you've got. There's a thread on the Planet Broadcasting Great Mates Facebook group. Check it out. It is covering similar topics. And I've got a few tweets here as well which we got sent, specifically from Lord of Thunder who says, hey, I was listening to your last episode and you guys were discussing things that take you out of a show or movie.
Starting point is 00:27:34 For me it's when someone is sending or receiving a text message and there's no text history. Yeah, because it's a fresh phone. Yeah, so that to me implies that this world that they're creating just existed. It just existed at this very second. Do you know what I mean? And even if it's a fresh phone, you're porting over all messages, aren't you?
Starting point is 00:27:52 Yeah, but at the very least, oh, I meant like a fresh phone like in the production. Oh, okay, yeah. But you're absolutely right. Like at least just get somebody to text lol to it. Yeah, exactly. And that's the previous text is just lol. Like these guys that already have an existing one. And it's like I've been it. Yeah, exactly. The previous text is just lol. Like these guys that already have an existing one.
Starting point is 00:28:07 And it's like I've been kidnapped. That's right. So there you go. What have you got though? How about this? When somebody goes into a bar and they've never been there before and they sidle up and they go to the bartender and they say beer. The bartender just hands them a beer.
Starting point is 00:28:21 Yeah. Because if you did it in that real life. If it's the old west maybe. Yeah, right. Because it's one beer. One beer, that's all they have. But like in the real world, if you went into a bar in Melbourne and you said beer, the bartender would stare at you for five to ten minutes
Starting point is 00:28:35 and then you'd go, what kind of beer? What kind of beer do you want? But at the same time, James, if somebody goes into a bar in a movie, I guess it would work as a joke like if they have a pre-existing relationship with a bartender and they know and it gives them the usual or whatever. But also if somebody goes into a bar and they're like, one Bud Light, please, I'm always like, oh, that's a sponsorship deal.
Starting point is 00:29:01 That's what's going on. For me, I'm just like, just give me a furphy on tap or whatever, whatever I'm doing, you know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah, you do have to often name the brand. You're right. I think I've got one about brand deals here. What about Jeremy Miller?
Starting point is 00:29:11 And I don't know whether I agree with this, but I would – no, I do and I don't because he's written recast actors that aren't addressed. And what I think also it's like you can't, do you know what I mean? Right. If it's like somebody who's left the show and they're replaced by a different character, like BJ when he came into MASH, for example, when he replaced Trapper. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:35 But if it's like the same, supposed to be the same character and they switch the actor, sometimes there's a nod on the wink as they did in like Fresh Prince when they recast Aunt Viv. Or in Iron Man 2 when they replaced Don Cheadle. Yeah, they replaced him. Sorry, Don Cheadle replaced. It's been so long. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:29:54 Right? The guy. The other guy. Yeah. When Don Cheadle says, it's me, he's like, it's me, get you stilled or something like that. Okay, yeah. So was that okay for you?
Starting point is 00:30:06 I mean, I... Terrence Stamp. No. Terrence Howlett. There we go. Thank you. Terrence Stamp is from Star Wars, Mason, for The Phantom Menace, and that's the only movie he's in.
Starting point is 00:30:16 That's right. Yeah, but what do you do then? I guess I'll live with it, James. Yes. It is kind of jarring, but what do you do, I guess? I think it's more jarring when a character is replaced with a different character who is, an actor is replaced with a different actor who is largely the same,
Starting point is 00:30:34 like they kind of look the same and it's a different character. But they've gone like, okay, well, we lost a bubbly blonde woman, like the actor left, so we'll just hire another bubbly blonde woman and she has a different name, but she's got the same role. Oh, my God. She's also an epidemiologist or whatever. Sure. What show are you thinking of specifically?
Starting point is 00:30:54 Probably House, I don't know. Probably, yeah. Probably House. What next though, Mason? We're going to try through some of these. This is from Clayton. Okay. His is basically anything with video games and movies.
Starting point is 00:31:06 Yeah. And they're better at it now. Because they use real ones? Yeah, but back in when this sort of – I remember I think the first movie I ever saw that got it right was maybe The 40-Year-Old Virgin. But they're using different controllers. They are. That's right.
Starting point is 00:31:22 Yeah, yeah, yeah. So do you mean like the video game they're playing and it looks fake or they've got, I know like. Both, but I think it's when they're like. Just doing nothing. Or they're like moving their controllers back and forth or they're like. A little kid will do that.
Starting point is 00:31:36 Yeah, yeah. Sometimes you'll see two people like playing a video game and then it cuts to the screen. It's a one player game. Yeah, okay, yeah. Like it's the two people and they're like, I'm going to get you. And then it cuts to like one player Halo. a one-player game? Yeah. Like it's the two people and they're like, I'm going to get you and then it cuts to like one-player Halo.
Starting point is 00:31:47 Yeah, okay, yeah. What are you doing, you know? Halo was in everything at a point in time, wasn't it? That's true. Yeah. I don't like fake video games because it's very obvious and bad. What if it's like, you know, an episode of The X-Files when somebody gets sucked into a video game
Starting point is 00:32:01 and they invent the video game? I'm absolutely fine with that. That's A-plus material right there. I think so too, yeah. I know there's a scene in The Wiz where the kid who they're taking to California, I haven't seen this in a million years. Yeah, The Wiz. The Wiz himself.
Starting point is 00:32:13 The Wiz himself. He's playing Double Dragon for like a minute and they're like, oh, my God, you've got 50,000 in Double Dragon. And everybody since then has been like, you can't get 50,000 points in Double Dragon. Even if you could, you can't get it in a minute. What are you even talking about? So, yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:26 And also, with a game that's like specifically... What, are you using a game genie? What's going on? Exactly. But with a movie that's specifically about video games and promoting the video game Super Mario Bros. 3, which is the point of the whiz. Correct, yes.
Starting point is 00:32:37 You'd think you'd fucking get that right, wouldn't you? Yes. I don't know, that's all I'm saying. But I reckon that that's the point where... Also, kids don't know in the 90s. Yeah, but I also think probably the movie producer at that point would have had way more sway than anybody bringing anything to the table in terms of video game knowledge.
Starting point is 00:32:54 They'd probably be like, we want the kids to be more excited, just so you've got 50,000 points. My God, you've got 550 points in the first level. That's quite good. It might not sound like a lot, but that's quite good. But in the context of this game, then the game fans will be like, that is actually quite good, the first level of that game. It's not, like, unusual, but it is difficult.
Starting point is 00:33:10 Yes, yes. Alex says, just watched Chernobyl, which was amazing, but the fact that they all spoke in English while the radio and text was in Russian, they would be reading Russian and saying English words. It always took me out every time. This is a rock and a hard place, this one, isn't it? Right, yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:25 So, yeah, what do you do, you know, in a situation like this? I like, I'm a big fan of what they did in Hunt for Red October. Yes. Which is you get the actors initially to speak in some Russian. Yeah. Or the foreign language. And then you do like a quick camera shift. Valkyrie, they do.
Starting point is 00:33:39 And then they're speaking in English. Yeah. In British accents. Beautiful British accents. Yeah. But I think the thing that the idea of, you know, they're German or Russian or something and they're speaking English, what throws me is when each actor has decided to speak in a different accent.
Starting point is 00:33:55 Like some people are doing Russian, some people are doing British. Yeah. Some people are just doing an American accent and they're supposed to be Russian. That's Jerry Butler. Yeah. Have a meeting, get it. Have a meeting, get all the actors in and say, pick an accent.
Starting point is 00:34:10 We're all going to commit to one accent. Okay, I can appreciate that. Yes. What next? People who hang up their phones. Yep, yep. And they're like, I'll meet you there in 15 minutes, and then they hang up. They just hang up.
Starting point is 00:34:21 Never happens. You're absolutely right. First of all, nobody ever makes phone calls anymore. No, that's true. Psychopaths make phone calls. I would never pick up a phone if somebody called me, but if I did, I'd be like, okay, bye. I will only call you if it's quicker to have a conversation.
Starting point is 00:34:36 I'm like, there's three things I need to ask you or whatever. But other than that, or you think something's wrong. You're like, what's happened? Have we cancelled? I'm not going to pick up your say. That's right. It's probably the Pepe Le Pew stuff. It's probably that double impact poster you made with Pepe Le Pew.
Starting point is 00:34:52 This is one that people, that is a lot better now. A lot of these I think have gone into the public consciousness as annoying and people, and they've fixed them. Like, for example, the one I said earlier where people just order a beer. Yeah. Like oftentimes they'll just work around that. Like you might, you know, have somebody sidle up to the bar in montage or in silence or like this bar noise.
Starting point is 00:35:14 Yeah. And they just get served a beer. You just hear mum, mum, mum. But this is one. When a cop drives up to like a location they need to investigate and they just park right in the front. Oh to investigate and they just park right in the front. Oh, okay. They just park right in the front there and it's like,
Starting point is 00:35:29 how long did you circle? I guess that could be any show where you're driving anywhere as well, especially in bloody LA, am I right? They lambast that in the Aunty Donna in the show. Yes. Oh, that's what I was trying to think of. Yes. It's like a whole sketch.
Starting point is 00:35:42 What did I see recently where they're trying to, because they're trying to improve their image, right? They want to go to a boutique, I think, to get some new clothes or something. They just end up driving around. Driving around for ages, yeah. That's what I'm thinking of. I got one from Bob Noble who says, Aspect ratio changes mid-film.
Starting point is 00:35:57 Chris Nolan is notorious for doing this. I don't notice it. I think maybe because I have a very narrow field of vision. Zack Snyder is taking a whole new level with the BBS remaster from what I've seen in the trailer. For me, the only time it's been really jarring was Transformers 4 when it was like between shots. Oh, I did notice that, yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:17 It was like neck was breaking every time it happened. But generally I find like- Was that for IMAX? Yes, but it was still in normal cinemas for some reason. and happened. But generally I find like- Was that for IMAX? Yes, but it was still in normal cinemas for some reason. Or maybe we did a half, maybe we did a VMAX when we saw it or something. Yeah, but I mean, thank God we didn't see that. We didn't actually see it in IMAX because that would have hurt.
Starting point is 00:36:37 We'd be dead, Mason. But I think a good example is like for The Mandalorian recently. When the sandworm comes out, then the aspect ratio like opens up. Yeah. And I think the first time I watched it, I don't think I even noticed because it was just kind of like. Yeah, right, right, right. There's ways to do it in, you know, or even like, you know,
Starting point is 00:36:59 Wizard of Oz starts in black and white and then it becomes colour. Like there's ways to integrate it in and sort of go, okay, we're seeing the world in this narrow field, but here's the bigger world, like you said with the sandworm. Everything you thought you knew. That's right. It's rather bigger. It's taller, actually. What else, Mason?
Starting point is 00:37:13 How about this? Okay. Passwords. When they're hacking? When somebody's hacking. I mean, again, this still happens. You can never get a password. No.
Starting point is 00:37:22 Ever. I must have seen. I can't even get my own. I mentioned this a while back. We both watched The Kid Detective. Yes, we did. With Adam Brody. Good movie.
Starting point is 00:37:34 But the one thing that took me out of that movie is there is a scene where he's trying to hack some kid's computer and he goes, oh, he's obsessed with this girl. So I'll say her name's Emily or whatever and I'll put it in and that's the password. That never works. Never ever in a million years. Or like in the seminal movie Hackers.
Starting point is 00:37:50 Yes. The four most common passwords are like sex, love, God and whatever. Not true. No, but the most common password is still password as far as I know. Mine are like entirely random. You couldn't look around the room and be like, oh, he likes books. Microphones. I don't.
Starting point is 00:38:07 No, I don't like books. You don't like books. But what does he like? Silence. Complete silence. Stillness. Being alone. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:16 Waiting for death. Zero one. Where are you going to put this? Yeah. Where in? Because even then, like, because often you've got to put characters on the end of passwords as well and uppercase and lowercases and all sorts of things. There's a few in Watchmen, in the comic book,
Starting point is 00:38:34 and I think they kept it in the movie. Yeah. Well, then it's good. They're authentic. Yeah, yeah. So the password, because Ozymandias was obsessed with Ramesses, the Egyptian god. He had a big statue probably.
Starting point is 00:38:48 They're hacking and they put in Ramesses, and the computer's like, password incomplete? Do you want to add some more to it? It's Ramesses II because that's the pharaoh, right? That's hilarious. But it's like, is the computer going to give you a hint, is it? But I guess also in that scenario he probably planned for it. He probably built that.
Starting point is 00:39:07 Oh, maybe. But it's still dumb. Because he's that clever. Yeah. But, yeah, like, I mean. Just don't have a password then, mate. Just don't have a password. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:14 Do you want some help? Are you trying to hack this? Yeah. Clippy shows up and he's like, are you trying to hack this? Are you trying to hack an email, a Gmail? I mean, you know, these days the obvious thing is to just, they've got a post-it note on their screen. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:39:26 It's got their password on it. Or it auto-fills. Actually, they had that in Ready Player One and I went, yeah, some people, I have done some tech stuff like working in schools. People do that all the time, just have their password up on them. Yeah, yeah. Fucking thing. Happens all the time.
Starting point is 00:39:41 What about this from Andrew who says, when anything an actor wears or uses looks brand new yeah i mean that's that's the result of kind of like uh you know limited budget and like because often they'll like scuff up a pair of shoes yeah because there's like i think there's like the you know there's the you know student film or short film or whatever where the actors just wear their own clothes and that's, you know, you're wearing stuff that is worn and then there's the huge budget blockbuster where they get, you know, they'll get a T-shirt and they'll sandblast it
Starting point is 00:40:12 and they'll leave it in the sun and they'll wash it a few times and then it's like, okay, well, it looks like it's been worn and washed or whatever. But then there's the middle bit where it's like, okay, here's your wardrobe, we just bought it all and yeah. Exactly. Yeah. It's all from Target.
Starting point is 00:40:23 Yeah. It's all Target white tees and jeans. What else have we got? What else have we got? Oh, no. His phone is stalled. No, it's not. My brain is stalled.
Starting point is 00:40:34 I got one from Andy, though. I can do this then. Okay. Okay, go ahead. I've got one after that. Characters getting information from breaking news. It's Lazy's screenwriting trick and it's so unbelievable. The news they need just happened to show up. Yeah. Yeah, when they turn the TV on and it's like breaking news.'s lazy screenwriting trick and it's so unbelievable the news they need just happen to show up yeah especially yeah when they turn the tv on and it's
Starting point is 00:40:47 like there is a disaster there's a there's a hurricane which i'm sure has been uh parodied in some movies where like somebody will turn the tv on they're like i was just on we'll just wait yeah and then there's a little yeah absolutely yeah yeah uh what's your one though this is from catherine uh beautiful sparkly white perfectly straight teeth in any period film. Yeah, fair point. Historical drama, right? Absolutely. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:08 Or even regular people. Of any kind. It's kind of unusual. Yeah. But just like the, but again, there is a spectrum there. It's like beautiful, perfect Hollywood teeth. But if you go, if you have a character who's just got a mouth of just rotten teeth and gaps and it's like... That's an evil person.
Starting point is 00:41:28 That's right. And in real life. The prince can't have gaps in his teeth. No, no, no. No, absolutely not. Yeah, so true. Hustlebun says the Wilhelm scream. Those people don't know.
Starting point is 00:41:37 It's like that. It's from... I don't know. Is it initially from Star Wars? Might not be. No, it's from like the 50s or whatever. Yeah, yeah. It's not that.
Starting point is 00:41:44 It's not it. Everyone would have known. People know it. Look, it's from like the 50s or whatever. Yeah, yeah. That's not that. That's not it. Everyone would have known. People know it. Look, there's two that take me out. There's the Wilhelm scream and then there's the Nutri-Grain scream as well, as we call it, which is the one that goes. It's no longer an inside joke. We all recognize it.
Starting point is 00:41:56 Stop using it or replace it with the How We Yell from Our Real Monsters. That's quite funny. So, yeah, I think that's true, but I also don't mind it. Yeah, right. Yeah. It's also often in, like, popcorn, like, blockbusters. Like, I don't think Christopher Nolan's using it in his immersive universes that he creates with varying aspect ratios.
Starting point is 00:42:18 He could throw one in, though, couldn't he? I don't think he does. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't do it. No, he wouldn't. Maybe in Memento. Yeah. Ah, I can't remember anything. I mean, most of his dialogue might have a Wilhelm scream in it. We just don't know. he does i'm pretty sure he wouldn't do it maybe in memento yeah ah i can't remember i mean he might
Starting point is 00:42:25 i mean most of his dialogue might have a wilhelm scream in it we just we just don't know we don't know how about this james oh my god i'm ready and we've mentioned this in the past i'm sure um when you've got a big villain like a terminator and they're like they're on their way to kill sarah connor and so they just like punch people's hearts out and break people's necks and shoot everybody in the way. And then they get to Sarah Connor and then they throw her. Yes. I think the Terminator films don't do that for the first two. Yeah, but then three goes nuts.
Starting point is 00:42:55 Yeah, and four probably the next eight that they made. Ulek says, when a line, yeah, that really takes me out. Yeah. You've got to write some, you know what's really good at that? It follows. It's good at that. It's good because it doesn't do it. It's just like, stay away from this thing.
Starting point is 00:43:10 It's real weird. We don't like it. And again, I think that is probably a function of bad production design. Like if they've built a set where the monster's going to come at you but there's ways and means to avoid it that have been built into the set, then it can work. But if it's just an empty playing field and they get grabbed and they have to go, well, just say he throws you. They throw you for some reason.
Starting point is 00:43:34 Rolex says, when a line is clearly put in from the trailer but it doesn't seem to fit, i.e., I thought she was with you from Batman v Superman. You sent her an email, Batman. Yeah, he did. That's right. We've talked about that. Like, is it fun banter? I don't know. But yeah, that's a strange thing. And Mike says fake driving scenes and actors doing shitty foreign accents. So Dick Van Dyke and Mary Poppins. But yeah, fake
Starting point is 00:43:55 driving scenes. That was kind of mind-blowing when Mark and Naomi came in recently and said they were fake driving scenes. Yeah. I mean, they were on a green screen. Yes, that Yeah. I mean, they were on a green screen. Green, yes. Yes, that's what I mean. Yeah, yeah. Well, when I watched that show, I thought they were doing the thing where they're on the flatbed and being driven around.
Starting point is 00:44:12 Yeah, totally. But they weren't actually driving, but they weren't even on the flatbed. They weren't even doing that. Crazy. What else, Mason? But again, you're absolutely right. Fake driving scenes where there's too much play in the steering wheel. Yeah, totally.
Starting point is 00:44:26 They're really spinning that wheel, but they're just having a crazy time. And I think I've mentioned this before when people are driving, but they turn to speak to each other for a really, really, really long time. Gregory is putting that. When drivers look away from the road to talk to the passengers for over five seconds or worse, like a minute. My son, like when he's in the back, he's like, look at this. And I'm like, I literally can't.
Starting point is 00:44:46 He's like, just look. And I'm like, no, I can't. We'll all die. I can't look. You know, you could teach him a lesson, a valuable lesson, by crashing the car. I could, couldn't I? But I don't think he would take the lesson.
Starting point is 00:44:56 No, he probably wouldn't. He'd probably just be traumatized. And also, I don't think it's a lesson he'd appreciate when he's older. He wouldn't be like, actually, that was very helpful. That's right. I learned a valuable lesson. Yeah. If he lives to it. I mean he'd appreciate when he's older. He wouldn't be like, actually, that was very helpful. That's right. I learned a valuable lesson if he lives to it. I mean, my elbows went through my chest, but still. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:12 You know what? Here's one that I didn't think about when I was a kid, but now every single time I'm like, we all know this doesn't happen. It's when some, like a fuel tank gets shot and it explodes. Ah, yeah. Like we live in a post-MythBusters world. Yes. Where we've all seen the clips of them like shooting in a fuel tank with like incendiary bullets or whatever and the bullets just go through
Starting point is 00:45:37 and it doesn't blow up. I'm like, I'm forgiving of it in video games because we want to make explosions happen. Oh, I'm fine with it, yeah. But in a movie I'm just like, that's not going to happen. Yeah. You need very specific conditions. Yes.
Starting point is 00:45:49 Yeah, cars very rarely just fully explode. If you want a car to blow up, give the character a rocket launcher. Exactly. And have them fire it inside the car. Right. Oh, my God. And you can make it out of, you know, toilet rolls. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:46:02 It's easy. It's cheaper than getting a gun. Cole says CPR in movies is not how CPR works. Also, you don't take a bullet out unless it's absolutely necessary. That's true. And, like, the Heimlich maneuver is not really a thing you should use anymore. Really? You do, like, more of, like, a between-the-shoulder blade tap.
Starting point is 00:46:16 Oh, right, right, right. That's probably different again, so just look it up. Don't take our advice. Don't take our advice. I don't know. If right now somebody near you is choking, do not listen to our advice. Go on YouTube. I can do it on babies and kids, and I have, but I don't know. If right now somebody near you is choking, do not listen to our advice. Go on YouTube. I can do it on babies and kids, and I have,
Starting point is 00:46:27 but I don't know what it's like for adults. So, yeah, there you go. Isn't it with a kid, you tip them upside down? Isn't that easier? No, like a shoulder blade. Oh, of course, yeah. I mean, you can tip them upside down, yeah. Here's a pretty.
Starting point is 00:46:44 Babies, you kind of do more of that, actually. You kind of tilt them up. Yeah, right. Yeah, anyway, sorry, go on. But again, it's different also where you are in the world. This probably comes up every week, and I'm going to call it the EMP rule. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:46:58 Oh, my God. First of all, it's any time in a movie somebody explains what an electromagnetic pulse does. Yes. Because we all know at this point. Every time in a movie somebody explains what an electromagnetic pulse does because we all know at this point. But also it's the idea of when there are two experts and one expert explains something to the audience but they're actually explaining it to, in the movie, the other expert.
Starting point is 00:47:15 Yes. It's like we both know. We're both astronauts. Yeah. We both know what this air pipe does. Yeah, totally. I think that's something that the movie Sunshine does really well, your favourite movie and my favourite movie, both our favourite movie,
Starting point is 00:47:29 because they're all astronauts and when there's like an emergency, the whole screen doesn't light up. They're like, so where's the design of this emergency? They know this interface. There's just like a red dot that goes on and they're like, oh, we know what that is because we've been doing training for this for 10 years. Sure.
Starting point is 00:47:43 So, yeah. A big alert sign would be distracting. Absolutely. Speaking of, and speaking of hackers earlier. Yes. What about hacking when people don't use a mouse? So just keys. Just keys.
Starting point is 00:47:54 But I know why they do that, because there's a rhythm to it. Yeah. And it's kind of, you know, there's no. You can sweep the camera past them. Yeah, you can sweep. And it can go ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum. Have you seen that NCIS where they get two people on the keys? No. Yeah, you can sweep. And it can go ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum. Have you seen NCIS where they get two people on the keys? No.
Starting point is 00:48:08 You should look it up. I think it's NCIS. Okay. I'm going to find it. It'll be the two hackers. It'll be the new guy and the goth girl. Yeah, absolutely. They're doing the hacking together.
Starting point is 00:48:18 I can show you this. Do you want to see it now? All right, I guess. Yeah, okay. We're going to do it. Everybody else Google this. Yeah, Google this. If you're looking at somebody they they're choking in real life.
Starting point is 00:48:25 Don't YouTube two people using computers at the same keyboard at the same time. It is the golf girl. I knew it. Yeah. It's the, I knew it. I knew it,
Starting point is 00:48:35 James. Of course. It'd be nice to. They're on the same keyboard. This is wild. Unbelievable. Do you think. This is so funny.
Starting point is 00:48:44 Yeah. Do you think that was in the script or do you think they just did it on the day? I think it was in the script. Wow. And the screen is moving so fast where it's like, what are you even looking at? Right, exactly. Yeah. But that's the thing.
Starting point is 00:48:55 I do like the idea of all the hacking interfaces and all the windows pop up and all these scrolling lines of code or whatever. But I mean, and again, it's the rhythm of the typing and the ba-dum-ba-dum-ba-dum-ba-dum. Absolutely. It gets people into it. But I mean, most, again, most hacking is like. You run a software? Yeah, or you like hack somebody's, you put a keystroke logger in somebody's computer
Starting point is 00:49:19 or you see, you know, somebody puts up a, you look at somebody's Zoom meeting and they've got a password on the post-it note stuck to their wall or whatever and you go, I'll just put that in. And then you click a mouse. Exactly. How do you feel like Hustle Bun says that punches that don't land in bad choreography and fights, the tunnel fight at the end of Dark Knight Rises is so bad.
Starting point is 00:49:38 That's not something, I think because it's not my area. I only notice when it's like exceptionally bad. Well, that's the thing. We've not factored in the idea of one thing that i think almost every like expert like if you're a doctor or a lawyer or whatever yeah uh or you know or really any like a construction worker like if you see somebody you know walking without a hard hat yeah or without a safety railing or walking under a ladder it's bad luck. Bad luck, exactly.
Starting point is 00:50:05 But I'm sure like I bet there are doctors who watch like an ER or something and love the idea that it's so stupid. But I'm sure there are an equal number who are like, I hate this. This is not how we do anything. Yeah, you might be right. Oh, my goodness. I actually get taken out in movies and shows when teachers are really bad. I think like that's why I stopped watching Ape and Bio yeah but like they're just like we're doing nothing for class
Starting point is 00:50:28 today i'm just gonna sit here and i'm hung over oh it's like no you just you just can't right i'll just fire you like it's just it's pretty hard to be fired as a teacher but if you just turn up every day and do nothing they will fucking fire you you better believe it yeah but it's a comedy whatever uh when someone holds us from rerun 6488 when someone holds a soda can an impossible angle You better believe it. Yeah. But it's a comedy, whatever. When someone holds a, this is from rerun 6488, when someone holds a soda can at an impossible angle just to show the label. I think you could say that for like a lot of brands as well. Yeah, right. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:50:56 Yeah. Well, yeah, it's interesting. I feel the same, but it's like when somebody holds a can deliberately not, you can't see the label. Oh, okay, yeah. Like they've clearly, it's something in the way that it's like when somebody holds a can deliberately not you can't see the label okay they've clearly it's something in the way that's delivered to camera or somebody's like cheers to you and they're holding it yeah they've realized mid cheers that if they show it like this you can see the coca-cola yeah uh label on it and they don't have the license for that so they just have to kind of what if it's something like what if it's like raz cola then is that even more like ah in in anything that's ostensibly set in the real world like if it was like superman and i
Starting point is 00:51:31 showed soda cola which is the brand in in metropolis i'd be like okay yeah but if it's yeah if it's raz cola yeah i guess it depends on the label because if it's just like a plain can yeah printed around if it says plain can cola oh. It's just printed Razz. If it says plain can cola. Plain can cola. Oh, unless it's like, you know, black and gold. I love black and gold cola. Generic supermarket brand. Oh, please. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:50 They stopped doing that, though. They jazz up their cans now, don't they? I bet they do, yeah. They're not doing any of that business. They do it minimalist now. Yeah, they do. It'd be a white can, and in like Helvetica, it'd say black and gold brand soda.
Starting point is 00:52:02 And then you'd know. And then you'd know. That it's 50 cents a can, yeah. I know you're not going to want to hear this, Mason, because you don't like the way I say it, but canned beer is back in a big way. Have you noticed that? What are you saying?
Starting point is 00:52:13 Canned beer. Canned beer. We've had this discussion before. Yeah, it seems unnatural. What is it? Can of beer? Here, have a can of my beer. Would you like a can of beer?
Starting point is 00:52:22 Here, have this beer that I've canned. They canned this at the beer cannery. Do I like it? No. Well, bottled beer, my beer. Would you like a can of beer? Here, have this beer that I've canned. They canned this at the beer cannery. They like it, no. Well, bottled beer, canned beer, it's the same thing, man. It's not, though, is it? What do you call it then? Yeah, can of beer. But it's more than one.
Starting point is 00:52:36 So would you say cans of beer? No, I'd say a slab of tinnies. That is true. I'd say, James, we're going to knock the top off some of these bloody frothies, mate. Well, that's more of a bottle, isn't it? That is more of a bottle of beer, yeah. That's true. I'd say, James, we're going to knock the top off some of these bloody frothies, mate. Well, that's more of a bottle, isn't it? That is more of a bottle of beer, yeah. That's true. You would knock the top off a canned beer.
Starting point is 00:52:51 Not on my watch. No, yeah. Let's pull the pull rings on these cans of beer that we have, that we bought in a slab. Cheers. What were we talking about? I've lost. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:53:02 You were going to say something and I cut in with that. Anyway, I like canned beers back, baby. You can flatten them. They're good for the recycle bin, which mine is constantly overflowing. Terrific. What have you got, though? Okay, how about this? For all my canned beers.
Starting point is 00:53:16 How about when a timer is counting down? Again, they're better at this, but they're not great. A timer is counting down and it's like there's two minutes before the whole reactor is going to melt down. But the time it takes for them to get all the stuff done and disarm the reactor is longer in movie time than the two minutes. I bet the show 24 was really good at that. I bet it was.
Starting point is 00:53:36 I'm like, the whole thing was real time. It was. You know what? Not a great show. Like, good idea, I think. Not great. Wasn't there a movie?, I think. Uh-huh. Not great. Wasn't there a movie? Yeah, maybe.
Starting point is 00:53:48 It was 24 hours long. Also, it factored in the ads, so it was like. It's true. Oh, that worked. Anyway, Amy's written hair continuity. I'm big on this. You really are. When a lot changes position back and forth during one conversation,
Starting point is 00:54:01 whose fault? Actor makeup continuity editor, wherever it is, it'd drive you mad once you notice it. Detoned necklace position. Totally true. I find the same thing with, I think someone's actually written this here, but like with food and also cigarette length. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:16 And the best movies, like Tarantino's movies do it really well. Fight Club has a lot of smoking and it's got great cigarette continuity. It's a super movie. Oh, my God. And it taught me how to be a man. That's right. I think that's not what that was really about. No, it was about fighting, though.
Starting point is 00:54:31 Was it? Yeah, yeah, it was about fighting. Oh, they made that video again with Fred Durst as well. It was about fighting and purchasing IKEA furniture products. So, Joe, you're absolutely right. Have you got any others there? Oh, my God, Fred Durst was in that. He was, wasn't he?
Starting point is 00:54:44 And Abraham Lincoln. That's right. Yeah. Okay. How about, oh, one I mentioned to you off air last week was weird gun stuff. Yeah. I've got a gun one here. What do you got?
Starting point is 00:54:57 I just got to find it. Hang on. I'm not super concerned about how many bullets are fired. Yeah. Because I'm assuming that in between scenes people will reload. Yeah, there's a bunch of here about guns. Okay. There's a lot of.
Starting point is 00:55:08 The one that annoys me, and I think I've mentioned it. Well, you do mention this to me often, don't you? Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah. You know your standard issue gun? Gun. Like your semi-automatic pistol. A gun machine. Like a gun that like an FBI agent or whatever would carry.
Starting point is 00:55:20 Yes. When it fires its last bullet, the slide, which is like the thing at the top, like the box that contains the barrel. Where you go Yeah, it locks back It locks back, so you go, oh it's empty now Yes. Right, but there's so many movies where somebody's firing the gun like and then it goes click, click, click, click and they're like
Starting point is 00:55:38 What? I'm out of bullets. How did I run out of bullets? And it's like, you'd know Yeah, you'd know. That happens in WandaVision Yes, that was specifically what you mentioned Haywood is firing at Monica and then he's like, click, click, oh my gun, it run out of bullets? And it's like, you'd know. Yeah. That happens in WandaVision. Yes. That was specifically what you mentioned. Heywood is firing at Monica and then he's like, click, click. Oh, my gun is out of bullets. And it's like, you'd know. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:51 You're absolutely right. And that makes me go, oh, it's not even a prop gun that has the action on it. It's just a fake plastic gun. They've added visual effects. Yeah, absolutely. Got muzzle flash too. And boo. And boo, exactly.
Starting point is 00:56:04 Yeah, absolutely. What aboutzzle flash too. And boo. And boo, exactly. Yeah, absolutely. What about this, Mason? Go on. Owen says, when someone reads their Google search out loud, when someone Googles something with capital letters and punctuation. Yeah, I've never thought about that, but they're often like, and I am searching. I might do it on this because it's like it's not a visual medium.
Starting point is 00:56:21 Oh, yes. Nobody can see my screen when I'm Googling Netflix box office subscription numbers or whatever. Yeah, that's for people who I guess can't read or don't want to read, I assume. What about, Gregory says, when a computer screen shows fancy animations about the data and the files, like a bunch of photos of a suspect, don't pop up all over the screen showing places that they've been.
Starting point is 00:56:42 Yeah, there's a lot of that. They'll run a search around the world and they come up like randomly on the screen. Yeah. It's like we got this photo from an ATM in Marrakesh or whatever the fuck. Yeah, right. You know what I mean? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:54 I think if I was in that briefing I'd be like, there's too much, just dial it back. Yeah. I don't need to know the rest of it. Where is he now? Just print off a piece of paper and hand me the piece of paper with where he is currently. Please, if you could.
Starting point is 00:57:08 This is one from Matthew. It says, well, as a chocolatier, the start of the film Chocolat, where there is a making chocolate montage. Well, I heard people love that, actually. They do. Alfred Molina's in it. That's right. There's a snippet of her grinding beans on a stone,
Starting point is 00:57:26 which is historically accurate. And what's the problem? Well, it says to grind enough cocoa beans by hand to make chocolate to fill the shop, she would have arms like John Cena. Oh, really? Like you'd just have a machine. Yeah, you'd dump them all in, I guess, yeah. Plus she would need maybe half a ton of beans,
Starting point is 00:57:41 which I'm pretty sure she wasn't carrying with her. Good point. He goes on to say, not to mention the equivalent amount in sugar and powdered milk, plus 100 kilo conching machine to blend and smooth the final product. Am I right? Yes. Yep. Probably.
Starting point is 00:57:54 I guess so too, yeah. That's, again, an example of a thing where, like, if you're an expert in a particular field, it's very jarring. Well, that's, I mean, there's, yeah. The next one is from James, who says, my issue is when military movies have soldiers walk along the ridge of a hill or a mountain because it looks good. Oh, you wouldn't do that because you get shot. You get shot immediately.
Starting point is 00:58:11 Yeah, that's a good point. Enemy soldiers would be like, oh, it's the enemy. Yeah, in the sunset. I mean, they're our enemy. They look incredible. Yeah, they do. Incredible, cool silhouettes. I can see one's like a big machine gun guy and one's like the communication guy.
Starting point is 00:58:23 Yeah, Tom Hanks is at the front. One guy's got a samurai sword. Oh, it's Tom Cruise. He's the last samurai's back. Whoa. Danny Warner says when a character applies to another character with something like, well, this isn't a movie show book. Yeah, I don't like that either because it is often.
Starting point is 00:58:40 More often than not. Yeah, right. No, not more often than not. It is. It always is. So would you remedy that by taking that line out? Yeah, just take it out. No, no.
Starting point is 00:58:46 Would you remedy it by having the other character say, no, it is. It is actually. Yeah, this is a movie. Yeah. We're in a movie. And now we're not getting paid because you referenced it. That's right.
Starting point is 00:58:56 It means a lot. It was in our contracts. Can't admit we're actors. What about when you recognise the landmark? Yeah. Like if something's filmed in Melbourne. Yeah, I guess, yeah, it does. You know what's really good about that?
Starting point is 00:59:09 The leftovers. Because the third season of that is filmed in Melbourne. Okay. Some of it is. And it's not like obvious Melbourne. Right. It's like, this kind of looks like Melbourne. That's Luna Park.
Starting point is 00:59:20 That's Luna Park. That's a big mouth. That's a big spooky mouth. That's Luna Park. It's the devil. That's what we've been afraid of all these seasons. We're in the show The Leftovers. What about...
Starting point is 00:59:30 Yeah, I think that's... I mean, again, that's fairly localised. If you live in Scotland and you see some Scotland landmarks, not everybody's going to notice that. No. If it's supposed to be in America or whatever. Yeah. Like the kebab shop in Infinity War.
Starting point is 00:59:50 Yes, exactly, yeah. But, yeah, I don't know. Elvis has military uniforms. I hate when a uniform in a movie looks sloppy and isn't worn properly. There are literally manuals. What if it's Hawkeye Pierce? That's a good point. What if it's BB, what's the guy's name?
Starting point is 01:00:02 BB-8. Yeah, what if it's BB-8? He's been sent to the 4077. He's wearing a Hawaiian shirt and he's smoking a cigar in his bunk. Shouldn't be able to do that. Literally manuals on how to wear a uniform properly if they don't, if you don't want to read, just get a military advisor who actually knows what they're talking about.
Starting point is 01:00:18 Yep, absolutely fair point. Again, one of those things where it's like, yeah, you would know that if you lived that life. This is from Casey. Yep. I work at a theme park and I can't watch the final act of Zombieland without thinking that one switch wouldn't turn on the whole park. And how are the rides being operated without people?
Starting point is 01:00:34 Great point. You're absolutely right. Yeah. Good point. Yeah. Jake says, lack of consistency with VFX. It needs to all look good or all bad. It's true.
Starting point is 01:00:43 Fair point. Even if it's all bad, you settle into a groove, you know? Yes. You're like, oh, I can see the strings. What about Casey who says, and French bread sticks, French bread sticking out of grocery bags and bad guys attacking one at a time and kids talking like adults. I'm okay with the French bread thing because when you buy it,
Starting point is 01:00:58 that's exactly what happens. Yeah, but how often are you buying a French bread? Often if we'd have a dinner party or a barbecue. Oh, la-di-da. Because it's good. You cut it up. What are you barbec buy into French bread You get it Often if we'd have A dinner party Or a barbecue You get one Because it's good You cut it up What are you barbecuing Your French bread
Starting point is 01:01:09 Mason Like who wants Who wants a Barbecued French bread No Mason In a barbecue You cut it up Into things
Starting point is 01:01:17 And everyone gets A little bit of bread On their plate If they want it There's a bowl of Buttered bread In the middle of the table Why don't you invite it
Starting point is 01:01:22 To things Don't you know No I'm at home With my loaf of bread Just eating bread Yeah the table. Why don't you invite it to things? Don't you know? No. I'm at home with my loaf of bread. Just eating bread. Yeah. Bad guys attacking one at a time.
Starting point is 01:01:29 Again, I know. That's one that I do notice but I don't necessarily mind. But kids talking like adults I do not like. Because it's the screenwriter. Yeah, it's the screenwriter. Or are you annoyed by teenagers or kids talking like adults? Yeah. Like because they're a quirky kid.
Starting point is 01:01:45 Okay. Because that's annoying. But I think there's a difference between that and kids who are talking like the screenwriter. Yeah, okay. Who are like, this is how cool kids talk. Yeah. And I'm cool.
Starting point is 01:01:56 People have told me I'm cool, so I'm just going to. I love Captain Underpants. That's what a kid says probably. Yeah, that's right. Exactly. Casey says, when actors playing a sport in movies and they clearly can't play at all. Yeah, that's right, exactly. Casey says, when actors playing a sport in movies and they clearly can't play at all. Yeah, that is a big one.
Starting point is 01:02:08 There's a Leonardo DiCaprio basketball movie where he's not very good. Basketball Diaries? It might be that, yeah. So that's not very good. Is it Mason? Not at all, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. There's Connor emailed in. He says, terrible throws take me out of movies.
Starting point is 01:02:23 So he says he played football for 15 years and watched the sport my entire life so I know how the ball should be thrown. The one thing that takes me out of the movies is when people obviously throw the football very poorly but when the director cuts to the ball in the air it's a perfect spiral. Yeah, okay, fair point. Yeah, absolutely. I noticed that in all the Australian rules football movies
Starting point is 01:02:42 that there are. When people are doing the... None. Whoa. When they're doing a big torp. I was going to say a big torpedo punch. What about when someone's doing a big specky? Yeah, well, absolutely, yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:53 Especially if they're putting their hands on the back because you're not allowed to do that, Mason. You've got to use your specky. You've got to just use your legs to get up there, mate, up there. That's right. Here we go. Rich says CGI blood. I think it depends on the movie.
Starting point is 01:03:03 And I also think CGI blood is better than you think now. Yeah, well, that's the thing. But, yes, when it's bad, it's very noticeable. When they do one of those VFX reels where it's like, we didn't even film this in a real street. Or like we filmed this in a back street and then we put an entire skyline in the back and you didn't even know kind of thing. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 01:03:26 That's amazing. It is, yeah. You're absolutely right. Harry says, I've always hated when a character unlocks, acquires a new power, then they stare at their hands. Like, what the fuck are you looking at? Because often they'll, like, punch them really hard, I guess, and then they have strong hands.
Starting point is 01:03:40 How did I do this punch? Just my hands, I think. Right? Yeah. What would you do in that situation, James? I'd be like, fuck me, check that out, check me out, I'd say. Check me out, everyone, look at me. I've got doing a big
Starting point is 01:03:51 specky powers. I just did such a big specky. I'd say. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'll be watching New Amsterdam. It's a soap drama, a medical drama on Netflix. Okay. And I recently watched an episode where the head doctor in that or whatever, he was playing basketball.
Starting point is 01:04:09 He's playing some street ball and he's not very good. When is this set? It's set now. Oh, okay. And when did you think it was set? Well, you called it New Amsterdam. I'm like, is this set before New York was called New York? No, Mason.
Starting point is 01:04:20 It's a fictional hospital based off a real hospital. Whoa. I maybe talk about Insuggestible a couple of episodes ago, my less successful podcast. But I always pause there. I'm always like, when are you going to say you're more successful podcast and I know I'm in trouble. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:35 But he does play basketball and he's not supposed to be very good, but watching that, and I've played a bit of basketball. I'm not very good either, but I'm like, I'm better than that guy. Is he supposed to be good? No, he's not. But it was just'm like, I'm better than that guy. Is he supposed to be good? No, he's not. But it was just me going, I'm better than that guy. Also, I'm probably not, but it's just me thinking that I'm better than him. Nice.
Starting point is 01:04:51 Yeah. What about when a character uses Bing because Microsoft is a sponsor? No one uses Bing. Oh, definitely, yeah. Steven says that, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or, yeah, what's worse, Bing or a fake search engine? I prefer something that looks like Google, but they don't show the logo.
Starting point is 01:05:08 Gongle. No, but there's no logo. It's just a blank search engine. Yeah, I mean there's so many ways around it. You do that weird Dutch angle that's really close to just the little search bar and then they click the search button and then it's like, okay, well here's the results. Yeah, you don't have to show.
Starting point is 01:05:25 Nothing. You don't have to show nothing. We could direct a scene set in an internet cafe where somebody clicked a search button and then it's like, okay, well, here's the results. Yeah, you don't have to show. Nothing. You don't have to show nothing. We could direct a scene set in an internet cafe where somebody does a search. People would love it. I do like fake search engines though. Yeah. Gongle. Gongle.
Starting point is 01:05:35 Gongle.com. Yeah. I'm going to check that right now. Yahoo. Imagine. Imagine a search engine called Yahoo. Can you think? I just came up with that.
Starting point is 01:05:42 Gongle.com. Here we go. Site can't be reached. It doesn't exist. Whoa, that means it's available. To us? Yeah I just came up with that. Gongle.com. Here we go. Site can't be reached. It doesn't exist. Well, that means it's available. To us? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:49 This one I noticed all the time, but I've never acknowledged it, but I'm glad Max has. Glad Max. That's right. When audio and visuals don't line up, sometimes a character is talking and the camera is behind them at an angle and the words they're saying clearly don't line up with how the jaw and the mouth are moving. It happens a at an angle and the words they're saying clearly don't line up with how
Starting point is 01:06:05 the jaw and the mouth are moving. Happens a lot in TV shows. Because they fix it in a post. Yeah, you'll see the back of someone's head when they're talking but they're not... They're just using another shot. I notice that all the time. Yeah. Again, that's a function of either it's an editing failure, they didn't get enough
Starting point is 01:06:21 coverage, or they went, oh, this movie makes no sense if we don't add some stuff. And they just desperately look for any kind of place where you can't see the character's mouth moving to put some words around them. Or you need the right reaction from the other person or whatever. Yeah. This is fun stuff, Mason. You've got another fun stuff?
Starting point is 01:06:40 I don't know. Or you're looking at clothes, Mason? Nope, I'm looking at other stuff. He's shopping for clothes. No, I'm not. I've got things. I things i saw it yeah well um i'm gonna do one from connor please do when a character starts a conversation in one location then the scene cuts to a new location and the dialogue flows naturally without missing a beat does that mean they started the
Starting point is 01:06:58 conversation stopped mid-sentence and then waited 20 minutes to move to a new location that does it that's a lot of like walk and talk stuff. Like Inception does it a bit. Yeah. And that new Amsterdam show I've been watching does it a bit. And I think we mentioned it when we watched Goldeneye, the James Bond movie, there is a scene where Bond and Famke Janssen's character are naked in a sauna and then later they're fully clothed.
Starting point is 01:07:22 And I'm like, did you have to hold, yeah, you would have had to hold your gun on her the entire time you were both getting dressed. Yes, that's right. How did you do that? He's James Bond. I guess that's probably true. Between his legs.
Starting point is 01:07:32 He held it between his legs. Or he's like, can you hold this for a sec? I'm going to put my tie on. American flag is hung the wrong way from Eric. Does one person on set know that there's a set of rules on how to handle an American flag? That's true. This could be for other countries.
Starting point is 01:07:47 I'm not aware of their flag rule, but you can't get the simplest rule of how to hang a flag right. I get taken out. There is in Australia, I know, but sometimes at some primary schools or schools they do a flag-raising thing or whatever. But the way they treat it here, they're just like, who gives a shit? No one cares at all. So I don't know.
Starting point is 01:08:04 Maybe there's different rules in the US. There is a folding. There's a way to fold it, isn't there? There is, yeah. Speaking of Australia, and how about this in terms of accents? What accent stuff takes you out of movies? Bad accents, obviously. Bad accents.
Starting point is 01:08:16 For me, I think it is when you get the sense that somebody doing an American accent is an Australian actor, I'm immediately like, did they grow up in Adelaide? Yeah. I know you're Anthony LaPaglia. They mostly did grow up in Adelaide. That's right, yeah. What about Brian who says fake numbers that start with 555? Yeah, but they're better at avoiding that now, I think.
Starting point is 01:08:36 I've just accepted that as like the universal in-movie, whatever, yeah. But you'd think if everybody's numbers started with 555, they could just cut that out of the phone system. That's a good point, Mason. Isn't it, though? That's a great point, yeah. But you'd think if everybody's number started with 555, they could just cut that out of the phone system. That's a good point, Mason. Isn't it, though? That's a great point, Mason. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:51 Should we do a few more before we wrap this up? Yeah, what have you got? I've got, well, Ben says, people being able to see things clearly when swimming underwater without goggles. Very true. I've never seen anything underwater, ever. You don't put your head underwater? No, I do, but I can't see anything. I've never seen anything underwater, ever. You don't put your head underwater? No, I do, but I can't see anything.
Starting point is 01:09:07 I've never been able to see a darn thing. Really? I can do it. You squint like this, but it's not great. Goggles, though, my God, change your life. I've been doing swimming. When my son does his swimming lesson, I go and swim for like half an hour.
Starting point is 01:09:18 It's fucking horrible. I hate swimming. I'm really bad at it. I'm really bad. Everyone in the world is better at swimming than me. Whoa, even that basketball guy you mentioned earlier? Yeah, he would be. Actually, it's frightening how bad I am at swimming at it. I'm really bad. Everyone in the world is better at swimming than me. Whoa, even that basketball guy you mentioned earlier? Yeah, he would be. It's actually frightening how bad I am at swimming.
Starting point is 01:09:28 Whoa. Yeah. I can do it, sort of, but like, oh, good Lord. If someone sees you on the street, like as a fun goof, they should push you into the water. I can swim, but my technique is horrible. Okay, but if somebody shoved, push you into the Yarra River, for example. Yeah, I'd drown.
Starting point is 01:09:42 I'd die because of all the carp. Fun, fun, fun. Even Claire laughs at me. She's like, you look like you're moving, but you don't go anywhere. Like, I look like I'm fucking bombing it, but I'm not, like, moving. Wow. But also I heard, like, I shouldn't worry about getting better because I'm getting a good workout.
Starting point is 01:09:58 That's true. Because I'm not going anywhere. If you're always struggling, then, yeah, all those muscle groups are working. It's true. I guess. Melina says, as you know. So when someone goes, this is a thing you know,
Starting point is 01:10:08 but let me go over it anyway. For sure, yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like we do that here as well, but we do that, again, for people who are listening because they don't know. Because also we often forget what we've told other people. Yes, and this is also fictional. And I want to give you the benefit of the doubt. I'm like, as I've said, yep, yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:26 Yes. Kendall says, too many famous people or one mega famous and many no-name actors. Especially if the famous person is introduced later. Like if you've got a TV series with a bunch of no-names and then they're like, we've got to talk to the judge and then the judge is Anthony LaPaglia, as you mentioned.
Starting point is 01:10:47 Yeah, he's from Adelaide. Right? Then you're like, what? Yeah, no, you're absolutely right. That is annoying. How dare they? Action Ben says smartphones have stayed lit when the actor has them up to their ear.
Starting point is 01:10:56 That's a good point. That's all something you don't really notice on your own phone, I guess, do you? It's true. God, we've ruined a lot of movies. Yeah, I hope so. I hope we've ruined a lot of things. I do hate all movies. Yeah, me too. This lot of movies. Yeah, I hope so. I hope we've ruined a lot of things. I do hate all movies.
Starting point is 01:11:05 Yeah, me too. This episode has encompassed all movies I've ever seen. They all have something like this in them. Exactly. But fortunately, Zack Snyder's Justice League will not have any of these things. I completely agree. This one I also agree with. Fraser says, I'll end on this one,
Starting point is 01:11:19 freestanding holograms in movies that aren't set in the very far future, if at all. So true. We actually are coming up, guess what, this week, Caravan of Garbage. We're doing the Nick Fury, David Hasselhoff movie. Yeah, we are. In the 90s. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:32 And there is a freestanding hologram in that. And by the way, atrocious. Comes out of a man's mouth. I mean, that is. But the movie in itself? Oh, it's also horrible. Absolutely atrocious. One of the all-time worst.
Starting point is 01:11:43 One of the bad ones. So that's coming up on Caravan of Garbage on Tuesday. But we'll be early on Big Sandwich and Patreon. Yeah. Any others, Mason? I wish you'd call it a bloody day, mate. People who never finish their food. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:53 Yeah, finish your food. It doesn't take me out of the movie, but it's like, I've got to go. Like somebody's at home and they're eating or whatever, and they're all in the station house, and they're like, we're going to go. And I'm like, you're not going to bag that up? Finish your food, man. I always finish my food. I went to a restaurant last night with Claire.
Starting point is 01:12:10 I finished my food. Nice. And they gave me a bit of bread like you would get from a French stick. I actually saw them cut it. Yeah, and I used it to mop up the sauce. But then they'd have like bits of crust everywhere because from the sawing of the bread? They didn't saw it at my table.
Starting point is 01:12:26 They saw it at a different location, but I saw them cut it. It'd be there. They'd have to clean that up. That's their problem. It's not worth it. How do you eat French bread? You eat the whole thing? What are you even talking about?
Starting point is 01:12:36 One go. They should have given you a slice of white bread from a packet. A sunny crust loaf. Yes, that's right. All right. Maybe I have. Hang on. I'm looking at a Twitter thread. I'm just going to zip through it really quick. Oh, there was that famous Twitter thread that went around, wasn't it?
Starting point is 01:12:51 Oh, yes. That you mentioned before the show. Also, I'm just explaining a thing that we spoke about in real life. As I know. Yes, as you know. Yeah. So that's good stuff, I think. God, it's good to ruin movies for everyone.
Starting point is 01:13:02 I know, right? I hope everybody's had all their movies ruined. No, that's everything. That's everything and we've done it. Yeah, that's right. Is it time then? Yes. Dare I say, for the next segment of the show.
Starting point is 01:13:12 What we're reading. Yeah. What we're going to read. Let's do it. Yeah. I'm doing the thing. I'm doing the thing. Westworld.
Starting point is 01:13:24 Yeah. Westworld. It's a Westworld time, everybody. It's time for Westworld. It's a Westworld time, everybody. It's time for Westworld. No, it's time for What We're Eating. Oh. Where we talk about what we're eating. See, some people might be confused because you did that Westworld thing. Yes.
Starting point is 01:13:36 But then some people might be impressed because you did that delightful Westworld song. I think it's important that everybody knows that I know what I'm doing. The next segment. When are you going to start bloody doing that, eh? Now Mason, as you know, this is the segment of the show where we talk about what we've been reading and watching in our real lives. I'm still reading Invincible.
Starting point is 01:13:55 I'm just making my way through Invincible. I'm up to nearly up to issue 100. There's 170 odd. I can't remember. So I'm just going to finish that. It's an epic tale. And I also some people wanted an update on whether I finished Coming to America. Because you had 10 minutes left. I did, but then you arrived at my house and I haven't watched it. So how does it end?
Starting point is 01:14:12 I don't know. There's a moment where they show a series of dried foreskins though. There's a joke about foreskins so if you want to check that out check it out. Intriguing. Is it? No. Are you going to watch it? No. Yeah, fair enough Just that scene I mean
Starting point is 01:14:26 No Okay, good What next? I watched on your lukewarm recommendation I watched Boss Level And? It was alright It was alright, wasn't it?
Starting point is 01:14:35 It was alright, yeah What's interesting about it though Is that I saw Having, you know, I watched it And then I read a couple of reviews You know, general consensus on Wikipedia or whatever And it was like, this movie is so brisk But I at one point was like I watched it and then I read a couple of reviews, general consensus on Wikipedia or whatever, and it was like this movie is so brisk.
Starting point is 01:14:50 But I at one point was like this movie is going for a really long time and I checked and it was like the 45-minute mark. And I think it is a function of – Because it's cut up into – Well, I watched this at home and if I was watching this in the cinema, I think the momentum would prevent me from – Yeah. But there's just enough downtime in this movie or just enough because it's a sort of a Groundhog Day time loop-esque situation
Starting point is 01:15:08 that I'm just like, it's going on for a while, isn't it? Did you like the action scenes? Yeah, it's good. It's good action scenes. Yeah, yeah. It's got the video game tropes, obviously. It does, yeah. It's got Naomi Watts if you want an Australian to take you out of a movie.
Starting point is 01:15:20 It did. Yeah, so there you go. What kind of accent is she doing here? It's got Mel Gibson, but he's very much not Australian. It's been established. Yeah, he's from elsewhere. That is England's problem now. Yeah, that's exactly right.
Starting point is 01:15:31 I've also been watching the YouTube channel. Maybe you recommended this to me some other time. Or maybe, you've never heard of it. Toy Galaxy? Maybe. I don't think I have. They just do deep dives on nostalgic toys from the 80s or flash-in-the-pan TV shows. Oh, this is my jam, man. like, you know, nostalgic toys from the 80s or like, you know,
Starting point is 01:15:47 Flash in the Pan TV shows that. Oh, this is my jam, man. Yeah, the kind of like, you know, they'll do an episode on, you know, the eight episodes of Manimal that were released. Oh, my God, the real Ghostbusters. Yeah, right. The TV show reboot, Bravestar. Yeah, that's right. These are all the things that we talk about all the time.
Starting point is 01:16:02 Probably better. Photon. I don't know what that is. Well, that's the thing. There's some where I'm like, oh, wow, that we talk about all the time. But probably better. Photon? I don't know what that is. Well, that's the thing. There's some where I'm like, oh, wow, that's Exo Squad. Yeah. You know, just like, oh, I have vague recollections of these. The Power Lords or something, you know.
Starting point is 01:16:14 Or something. Yeah. Yeah. Battle Tech. Battle Tech. You know. I'm just looking for one of these I'm going to add to my watch later. Yeah, cool.
Starting point is 01:16:22 What's going to be a good one? Oh, Mask? Yeah, it's sort of, I mean, it's pretty similar to like something like. Yeah, Voltron, that's going to be something. Yeah, it's pretty similar to like the Toys that Made Us or something like that, but there's no like interviews. It's just kind of like a video essay format. Toys that Made Us is getting too choppy.
Starting point is 01:16:37 Yeah, I've watched it a while. I think I've talked about this. Or maybe it's the movie one that I watched and it's like, hold on, back up. And then they'll cut in like someone going, oh, that's like clearly unrelated. They're like, but before we do that, let's do it. And I'm like, do you need to just fucking just tell the story? Fucking Christopher Nolan with your jumping all over narrative shit? Well, these are very linear.
Starting point is 01:16:55 The host name is Dan Larson and he's very, very good at explaining old stuff that I like. Auto Man. I haven't thought about Auto Man. Silver Hawks. Silver Hawks. Oh't thought about Auto Man. Silver Hawks. Silver Hawks. Oh, my God. There's Silver Hawks, there's Thundercats,
Starting point is 01:17:08 and there was like another one where they were like sea creatures, but they're all exactly the same format. Yes. They all have exactly the same character archetypes. The Might, the Menace of Monster. Remember Monster? That was Silver Hawks, yeah. Dino Riders.
Starting point is 01:17:21 Also, something that I forgot, you know, we always talk about the GoBots. You know, we're never not talking about the GoBots. In Australia, they were called Machine Men. I forgot about that. I did not remember that at all. Yeah, that's what they were called. Because they were licensed from a Japanese company
Starting point is 01:17:33 where they were called Machine Men. And then they got changed to GoBots. But we got them as Machine Men. My goodness, this is a real situation. Right? Oh, the sad end of Toys R Us. Oh, my God. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:44 Grim stuff. There's a Knight Rider. I think there was a Knight Rider. The algorithm recommended me a Knight Rider episode. Yes, that's a newish one. The history of the real Ghostbusters. I told you about those cartoons, how they re-released the toys. I think I showed you a photo. Yeah, right. Horrible. Oh no.
Starting point is 01:18:00 So there you go. Should we do the next segment of the show? Let's do, momentarily, the next segment of the show? Let's do, momentarily The next segment The next segment of said show Yes, we will do it It's the letters segment Perfect timing The classic one was Letters, oh letters
Starting point is 01:18:15 We love you, some letters They're only a day away I know they're here right now, we're gonna do letters Oh my god, dino saucers. Well, see, I don't know what, like... I haven't thought about that in a million years. I'm like, oh, I struggle to think of something like in the What We Read segment.
Starting point is 01:18:33 I'm like, where does all my time go? And then it took me until a couple of weeks ago, I'm like, oh, yeah, YouTube. You're just watching YouTube all the time. Because, I mean, you know, and it's interesting stuff on demand. And it's, like, as niche as you want. And it's like as niche as you want it. It's exactly as niche as you want it. And even if you're like, I want a retrospective on Ninja Turtles
Starting point is 01:18:52 and you start one and you're like, this is shit. I'll watch one of the other thousand ones that are out here. If I was just like, man, Auto Man is fascinating. I just want to watch a video essay about Auto Man. Just Auto Man recaps. Yeah. It was by the guys that did Tron, which is why it looks like Tron. That makes is about Auto Man. Just Auto Man recaps. Yeah. It was by the guys that did Tron, which is why it looks like Tron. That makes a lot of sense.
Starting point is 01:19:09 But they learned a lot. Like from the production of Tron, they're like, you know, some of this stuff was really difficult. Here's the way to make it easier. For example, film a lot of it in the dark. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. So that was a TV show? Yes.
Starting point is 01:19:24 Okay. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. So that was a TV show? Yes. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they did, the Manimal episode also references Nightman. Oh, yeah. We should do a, we've got three seasons. What? Right? That can't be right.
Starting point is 01:19:36 We should do an episode on Nightman. You've made a mistake there. Which is the Malibu Ultraverse superhero who's a jazz saxophonist who got struck by lightning and gained the ability to see evil or whatever it is. You can see it. There it is, he says. I see it over there.
Starting point is 01:19:53 I see it over there. I'm going to punch it now. I'm going to punch it real good. So if you do want to reach the show, hashtag Weekly Planet Pod on Twitter or weeklyplanetpod at gmail.com. We've got a few audio ones this week as well. That's great. Which we're going to tap into.
Starting point is 01:20:07 Maybe we'll do some tweets first, Mason. Oh, let's do some tweets. Yeah, terrific. Because we've still got to plug in your... Oh, yeah, that's true. So while we're setting this up, I think we've talked about this before, but Cam says, subs or dubs, settle the debate. Oh.
Starting point is 01:20:18 Hashtag Wickelplanapod. Mostly subs. I know everything about anime. You're the guy who knows everything about anime. Subs. I said amine there, so I don't know everything about anime. You're the guy who knows everything about anime. Subs. I said anime there, so I don't know anything about. I guess I watched, when I watched One Punch Man, I tried to watch it initially with dubs.
Starting point is 01:20:33 It just doesn't play, like, at all. I don't know what it is about it, but no subs. Look, and I don't want to be an absolutist. I'm sure there's got to be something out there. Well, a lot of stuff that came over here is dubbed. It happens all the time. I'm sure I saw Akira, like probably the first Akira and Ghost in the Shell, which were probably like two of the earliest anime things I ever saw.
Starting point is 01:20:54 I think they would have been dubbed. Yeah. And speaking of stuff that takes you out of the movie. Remember when they remade Ghost in the Shell like three years ago? Vaguely. Yeah. All trace of it's been scrubbed off the internet. I think I was like, oh, maybe I'll rewatch a minute of that.
Starting point is 01:21:09 It was just gone forever. Speaking of stuff that takes you out of the movie, Kaneda was voiced by the guy who did Leonardo in the Ninja Turtles cartoon. That is distracting. Very distracting. Didn't he know that, that it would be distracting and do a different voice, Leonardo? He should have done a different voice, right?
Starting point is 01:21:22 Didn't Jason Biggs voice him in a more recent one? Kaneda or Leonardo? Leonardo. have done a different voice, right? Didn't Jason Biggs voice him in a more recent one? Kaneda or Leonardo? Leonardo. And Kaneda. Yeah. Probably. My dick's stuck in this pizza. You just can't get away from that character.
Starting point is 01:21:32 My dick's stuck in Neo-Tokyo. No. Tetsuo. We have fun. We do, don't we? Let's do an audio one now. Okay, let's do it. One of these we have checked
Starting point is 01:21:46 And one of them we have not But just before we go Sorry go on Folks if there's If there's an anime out there And you like The dubs are incredible Like they've really
Starting point is 01:21:53 Knocked this out of the park Let us know what it is I've only watched Dragon Ball Z and dubs Oh yeah right But yeah Okay let's have a listen Who's this from
Starting point is 01:22:00 This is from Oh you know this one It's from Steve says Thought I'd send a delightful question in audio form. If it's a crap question, here's another one. Oh, we'll see how we go. Okay, all right. That's how we go, Steve.
Starting point is 01:22:10 We got that question saved up just in case. Well, also, we checked it, so it's probably good. Oh, yeah, cool. So I can't remember it, though, from the top of my head. Let's go. Hello, boys. I have a question pertaining to friendship with you guys, as with all my other favorite podcasters. I'd like to think that in different circumstances, we'd maybe be be friends even though i know in reality you'd probably hate me my question
Starting point is 01:22:30 is which movie characters would be the best people to be friends with for example i think batman too much of a self-involved dickhead to even shoot you a how you doing mate kind of text and john wicker be just a grumpy arsehole i I'd love to hear your thoughts, but either way, thanks for the podcast, the videos, the community you've created, and for being a fantastic distraction in these weird times. Cheers, boys. So I think in the case of those two, for example, they might actually be useful because they'd come through for you.
Starting point is 01:22:59 So were your friends before, James, being useful? Yes. Oh, yeah, cool, nice. No, you'd help each other out, do you know what I mean? Like in a scenario where you'd need Batman, he'd probably be there. Like he wouldn't shoot you a text, but he'd look out for you. For sure. And John Wick would help you hide a body probably.
Starting point is 01:23:11 That he killed. Yeah. I'd need you to help me help. Just help me bury this body. But I think, look, in terms of like the spectrum of friendship, like Batman probably bad because he's kind of – because he's not going to – he's obsessed going to, he's obsessed with, he's obsessed with fighting crime. He's not obsessed with friendship.
Starting point is 01:23:29 No, that's true. But like Superman, on the other hand, probably too many texts. Yeah, okay. Too much checking in. Like he probably does. He pops in. He probably just does like, he just probably does a whirlwind of texts like all his friends.
Starting point is 01:23:42 He's like, hey, just. Yeah, you're like, oh, this guy. Okay, I'm going to text him back now. Oh, okay. You know? Yeah, you're absolutely right. In terms of like the. I think Captain America would be a very good friend.
Starting point is 01:23:53 Yeah. He's a good friend to America. Even if America, you know, doesn't always agree with what he's about. That's true. And the dude from the Big Lebowski. That's right. He'd be a good friend. He'd be fun as well, wouldn't he?
Starting point is 01:24:04 He'd be a lot of fun. What about a fun dirtbag friend? Like a Bradley Cooper from The Hangover. Do you want to hang out with him? Yeah, not really, no. But there's got to be some fun dirtbags out there. What about Jay and Silent Bob? Would you hang out with them?
Starting point is 01:24:18 I'd totally hang out with Jay and Silent Bob. Also, Bradley Cooper in The Hangover, he's a teacher. And then when he goes, it's like it's bachelor party time and this kid comes up and he tries to talk to him and he's like, fuck off, kid, I'm not teaching at the moment. I'm not a teacher anymore or whatever because it's the weekend. I would never do that. I'm still nice to kids that I run into who are like 20-odd now.
Starting point is 01:24:37 Right. Until I go back into teacher mode immediately. Oh, wow. Yeah. Wow, well, you guys would not get along. They don't know I'm a monster. It's true. They probably figured it out. Yeah, they get it. Yeah. wow. Yeah. Wow, well, you guys would not get along. They don't know I'm a monster. It's true. They probably figured it out.
Starting point is 01:24:46 Yeah, they get it. Yeah. Yeah. Who'd be a good movie friend? Paul Rudd. Yeah, Paul Rudd in literally any role. Yeah. Ant-Man, the guy from I Love You, Man, whatever.
Starting point is 01:25:00 Yeah, he's a good friend. Yeah, you're absolutely right. Should we move on, though? Yes. Okay, this is unscreened. Whoa. Some Riley says, hey, we move on, though? Yes. Okay, this is unscreened. Whoa. Some Riley says, hey, James and May, so big fan. My question is about the future of Marvel Disney Plus shows.
Starting point is 01:25:10 What was the backup question from the first part? Oh, I didn't check it. Let's have a look. Let's have a look. But, I mean, his first question was good, so we can probably not answer this. Exactly. But I'd just like to know what it is.
Starting point is 01:25:18 With all the in-jokes you have during the podcast, do you ever find yourself saying them out in the real world and then realizing nobody understands what the fuck you're talking about? Maybe the busting out of the devil all the time uh no literally never i don't reference any of this in the world i would say almost exclusively different jokes in the real world yes yeah we yeah actually maybe in real life you'll get a fresh new joke that's a meso guarantee also the things that we joke about in real life don't normally correlate with this no yeah they're more horrific
Starting point is 01:25:45 all right let's do this for briley what is up james and may so so with the falcon and the winter soldier starting up my questions about how essential you guys think these marvel shows should be to understand the overall storylines in the future of the marvel universe so in 2019 kevin feige said you'll probably need a Disney Plus subscription in order to understand the events of the films but at the end of last month he is quoted as saying you'll be right up to speed if you have or haven't watched the show so with so many more of these Marvel Disney Plus shows on the way I wonder what you guys opinions were about how necessary it should be to watch these shows in order to keep up with the movies and whether trying to please hardcore and casual
Starting point is 01:26:24 fans at the same time might hold these shows back from doing anything groundbreaking. I love you guys. I've been a fan since 2014. Having new videos and podcasts every single week is something I always look forward to. So thank you guys. Grab that gem.
Starting point is 01:26:35 Much love. Thank you very much. We love you also. That's right. No, he said much love. And you said I love you also. So that's too much. Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:26:45 Wow, I've altered the dynamic of the friendship. that's too much. Oh, no. Yeah. I've altered the dynamic of the friendship. That's a shame. Yeah, it really is. That's a good question because if we watch The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and then at the end of that it didn't matter, like if we go into the next movie and we go, none of the events of that, of the eight, nine episodes mattered, or the secret episode.
Starting point is 01:27:06 Sure. Then why did we watch this? Yeah, but I think also a lot could be said for most of those movies. Yeah. Like you don't need to really see most of them to lead in. I guess if we go to the next one and then Falcon and Winter Soldier are like they're better buddies now. I guess, you know, that's.
Starting point is 01:27:25 We're better buddies now. That's right. That's what they say. Don't worry about how, but just trust us. We are. We've each got half of this shield. Yes. I think it's going to be like it always is with these series
Starting point is 01:27:35 where if you know it, you're more in the know. Yeah. And you're rewarded for knowing more about it because you get more details and jokes. What would you prefer? I don't mind the balance because I don't i know they're for everybody yeah so i'm not like these are for me and right i think the most inaccessible one would be endgame if you went into that even there but even then they're like you get it it's that awesome that you got a whatever like they explain it to you anyway yeah yeah but i don't mind it they're blockbusters they're for everybody
Starting point is 01:28:04 they're for kids they're for adults blockbusters. They're for everybody. They're for kids. They're for adults. They're for fans. They're for non-fans. Would you fear burnout? I don't fear burnout now just because we've had so little Marvel content. It's true.
Starting point is 01:28:15 On the big screen. It's true, listeners. That's right. We've had so few Marvel movies on the big screen, you know, in the last year that I'm like, yes, I would like to see nine hours of WandaVision, nine hours of Falcon and Winter Soldier. But once we get back to the regular scheduled content, I wonder if we're doing four Marvel movies a year and a couple of TV series.
Starting point is 01:28:39 Yeah. Is that too much? Yeah, maybe. Maybe. But whatever. Yeah, let's see how we go. I don't mind. At this point, bring? Yeah, maybe. Maybe. But whatever. Yeah, let's see how we go. I don't mind. At this point, bring it on, honestly.
Starting point is 01:28:47 As much as you can give us all the time. That's right. Yeah. But, yeah, I guess it's not really that much when you think about content in general. I mean, it's a lot. Yeah. But it's also like there's always a lot of stuff all the time now. That's true.
Starting point is 01:29:02 I think I go in waves with this stuff as well. Sometimes I'm like, I don't want to think about this ever again. Other times I'm like, give me all stuff all the time now. That's true. I think I go in waves with this stuff as well. Sometimes I'm like, I don't want to think about this ever again. Other times I'm like, give me all this all the time. But also, like you said, it's, you know, Netflix is kind of dropping the ball a lot of the time, you know, and I'm much, I would much rather have, I think, you know, a guaranteed appointment viewing. I know, you know, we're going to see Falcon and Winter Soldier
Starting point is 01:29:22 and I like those actors and I like the universe and the storyline. I know it's going to be at least pretty entertaining as opposed to get on Netflix and just keep scrolling until something looks like it's okay. Like I'd rather have guaranteed one hour or 50 minutes of really good viewing in any given week. I love viewing. Yeah, me too.
Starting point is 01:29:42 Got this from Dame Dismember who says, did you guys ever get into heavy metal adult comics? So many great artists, all the cleavage, huge guns, long swords. I feel like there's something you would know more about than me. I have like the odd issue just because they're... You like
Starting point is 01:29:57 the boobs. Yeah, for sure. Like a big monster truck with boobs. Well, I do have, there's an issue, I do have an issue at home that I, like, kept in a box for a really long time. That is it's from, like, 1993 and it's the one where Donald Trump becomes the president. Oh, my God, Mason.
Starting point is 01:30:14 I've got that one. There's a storyline. I'm going to give that a Google. I'm going to give that a Yahoo. Yeah, tell me what year that's from. I think it might be from, like, 91 or something. But I do have – that's one of the few ones that I still have. I can't – like, it's kind of – I think it's be from like, might be like 91 or something. But I do have, that's one of the few ones that I still have. I can't, like it's kind of, I think it's one of those things
Starting point is 01:30:28 where it's like you always used to like 2000 AD. Yeah, sure. I had a bunch of those and I would occasionally, if heavy metal had kind of like a sci-fi-esque kind of thing, I would probably like, you know, pick up an issue or two. 1990, yeah. There we go, yeah. Apparently he builds a wall in
Starting point is 01:30:45 this yeah he does yeah yeah i'll bring it over holy shit you don't need to bring it over no no i want to curse your house no i can see it okay right this is pretty insane yeah he's wearing a beret at some point he's like a shea guevara type yeah like in real life my god it predicted the future with uncanny accuracy pretty weird but when you know when produces, there's been 2,000 issues or whatever. Yeah, that's right. It's bound to happen eventually. You're eventually going to strike oil. You're eventually going to strike oil, yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:12 Polar Bear says, hey, Nick and James, one of my all-time favorite episodes of yours was Hollywood Feuds. I thought a similar topic could be nightmare movie productions. Any chance you could do a pod on them? Yes. My late birthday present, hashtag weekly planet pod. I would like that. We did cursed movies one time.
Starting point is 01:31:24 We did. For a polar bear, yeah, I could definitely do that. That's right. Danger late birthday present, hashtag weeklyplanetpod. I would like that. We did cursed movies one time. We did. For a polar bear, yeah, I could definitely do that. That's right. Dangerous species. I loved doing those Coca-Cola commercials, whatever. That's right. Yeah, definitely.
Starting point is 01:31:31 All right, well, I've got a couple of emails just to round us out. Round us out. Okay, this is from Harry Pollard. Hello, Harry Potter. He says, got in a dream film school thanks to you. Oh, my God, a dream film school. Like Inception. Yes.
Starting point is 01:31:43 Dear James and Mace, I've been a listener since your Age of Ultron episode, 2015, and haven't stopped tuning in weekly since then. You both made me laugh when I've been really struggling. James fancying Maid Marian is a personal favourite of mine. Just a quick amendment to that. That's not true. You meant to write Mason. I might have autocorrected.
Starting point is 01:32:01 No, I didn't. It says James. Yeah? I don't even believe this. I don't even think this is a real email. There's no way Maceo could auto-correct a James. It wouldn't work. Then he must have got us confused.
Starting point is 01:32:10 Yeah. Because it's definitively you and everybody knows that except this fucking guy for some reason. Well, I think he's very canny and correct. If he's a big fan, he'd know that, all I'm saying, Maceo. Well, I think he's the biggest fan. I recently applied to study film at university and got accepted into my favourite schools.
Starting point is 01:32:25 I have you two to thank for helping me interested in film, but I also want to thank my girlfriend, who I'm trying to convince to let me listen to the pod whilst driving, for giving me the courage to follow my passion for film. Nice. Hopefully in a few years I'll be making films for the two of you to rubbish on the podcast.
Starting point is 01:32:38 Oh, I can't wait. Just us with less talent, just putting the boot into your work. That's right. Oh, my God, I can't wait. He's going to be the official Essex boy of the podcast. Yes, you can. That's Harry from Essex.
Starting point is 01:32:47 Thank you, Harry from Essex. I mean, we didn't do much there. No, we bothered your girlfriend and you listened to us. And you got some facts wrong, but that's more on you. Is that the show then, Mason? There's one more email. Okay. This is from Stephen.
Starting point is 01:33:00 He says, I also dream of Mason. Hello, James and Nick. I've been listening and watching your content for years now, but never had the impulse to write in until I heard of that man I also dream of Mason. Hello, James and Nick. I've been listening and watching your content for years now but never had the impulse to write in until I heard of that man's wife dreaming of Mason. Last year I dreamed that Nick and I were sitting in a diner enjoying a coffee and a chat. I let him know I was thinking of moving to Australia
Starting point is 01:33:17 and he responded, nah, mate, don't want you here. I was heartbroken, of course, but when Nick Mason doesn't want you moving to Australia, you don't move to Australia. What do you do, mate? Yeah. Yeah, that's the world you live in. Thanks for the laughs and dream tears from Stephen. Could I be the official person Nick doesn't want to move to Australia
Starting point is 01:33:34 of the podcast? Yes, absolutely, mate. What would you say in real life to this person? Where is he from originally? Let's see. Well, he's a diner, so he's probably from America. Makes sense. Do you want him?
Starting point is 01:33:45 I mean. He could bring you some American candies. I can buy American candies off the internet. That's a good point. Wouldn't you rather somebody have their grubby hands on them? I would absolutely prefer somebody like way down their suitcase and have to pay like an extra charge. Take out a pair of jeans to put your food in.
Starting point is 01:34:01 Yeah, exactly. That's right. Okay, gotcha. Perfect. Look, do people want to move to Australia? I reckon move to Canada. Yeah. Canada?
Starting point is 01:34:10 Finland? Finland's pretty good. Switzerland's amazing. Ah, Switzerland. Yeah. And they would speak good English there, so you wouldn't have to learn anything. Somewhere on the equator. It's quite nice.
Starting point is 01:34:18 It's pretty nice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tropical Hawaii. That's a beautiful place. Beautiful. Very beautiful Hang loose Hang loose
Starting point is 01:34:27 Hang ten Have fun Maybe move to Hawaii Unless you're in some sort of Hawaiian diner Does this person even want to move to Australia? It doesn't mean I'm just No I don't know
Starting point is 01:34:36 We don't know We don't know That's the show Mason It is the whole show Thank you so much everyone Justice League next week Oh my god It's happening again
Starting point is 01:34:44 Yes Justice League and Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Which one's going to be better? Probably Falcon and the Winter Soldier, honestly. But which are you more excited for, really? No, yeah, Justice League. Because who knows? It's happening again.
Starting point is 01:34:59 There's a whole subculture of people who just their whole world is riding on this for one reason or another. And I just like I want to see the movie. I don't think it will be that much different, honestly. I think it will be. But I think I just want to see people's reaction to it. Oh, my God. You know?
Starting point is 01:35:20 Me too. I'm just excited. I'm so excited. What is the hashtag going to turn into after this? Isn't it continue the Snyder Cut or whatever? It's restore the Snyderverse, I think. All right, straight up. Straight up, dog.
Starting point is 01:35:31 But anyway, it's very exciting. Folks, thank you so much for listening, for telling a friend, for lying to a friend to get them to listen to the podcast, for subscribing, for leaving a nice review. James, you got a couple?

I'm an aspiring person in the industry and this is a great place to learn about the do's and don'ts of everything. I wouldn't. I wouldn't. I mean, don't do what we do is the answer there.
Starting point is 01:35:57 What people like to see and stuff. Plus, nothing is better than the two best friends just sitting around talking about things. Love you both. You're very welcome. I didn't know love you to this guy? No, you burned me that last time. You could do something like that or you could just do this from Mika Bots
