The Weekly Planet. The Weekly Planet. Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of The Weekly Planet, where we talk Welcome back everybody to another episode of The Weekly Planet where we talk movies and comics and TV shows. My name is James, also known as Mr. Sunday. With me as always is my co-host Nick Mason's here. You are really operating to a rhythm that exists only in your own head. I don't know what it is. There's no rhythm in there.

Okay. Something's going on. That actually makes more sense. There's literally no rhythm happening in there. I imagine there's a little man in there and he's just kicking plugs out of the wall. You know what I mean? Yeah, nice. Yeah.

That's how it goes. Cut this, kick. Cut this. Now you can't remember your kids' names. Ha-ha. This week, Mason, we've got a lot of news. We've got some trailers for both Army of the Dead and I was going to say Fantastic Four.

Fast Nine. Four and Nine. Someone keep that thought. They're both about family, aren't they? That's right. They've got numbers and the letter F. Gotham Central News. They'd be in the bloody Fantastic Nine.

Oh, my goodness. That'd be too many on the team. Also, you need an even number, don't you? So the Five War. How about The Secret Seven? Don't like them. Do you like them? number, don't you? So the five or. What about The Secret Seven? Don't like them. No. Do you like them?

No, not at all. That's the best reference I could come up with there. What about The Famous Five? Who's in it? I don't know. Not that famous. No, that's true. Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, George Clooney.

Oh, Ocean's Eleven. That's an odd one. That's an odd one, yeah. Fair enough, yeah. But to be fair, terrible first movie. Like one of the worst movies ever made. Oh, the Sinatra one. Yeah, absolutely, yeah.

Anyway, we've got some more news of some Mark Millar properties being adapted. We're going to find out about the most expensive television series of all time, which is currently in the works. We've got some Spider-Man confirmation news about the new movie, which is going on. Going off. Gundam is getting a movie. Do you mean Gundam?

That's what I said. I know everything about anime. He only knows. And some casting for a bunch of stuff that's coming up. And then we're going to talk about franchises that have been revived because this was supposed to be Mortal Kombat week. That's right. In many regions of the world, including Australia,

it has been pushed back. One week. So next week we've got to do Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Mortal Kombat, which just really, really fucked up our week, if I'm honest. I'm very excited about it. But this episode topic assumes that the new Mortal Kombat movie will revitalise the Mortal Kombat movie slash TV franchise,

which maybe it will. It won't be worse, though, will it? It's hard to believe it would be worse in any way. I know we say that often. People go, don't count your bloody chickens. Shut up. It can't be worse, all right? You've seen those movies.

You don't know what you're talking about. Who is this friend who's like, don't count your chickens? This guy. That's my friend Paul. That's my friend Paul. The Paul that I know? Yeah, the Paul that you know. Wow.

Yeah, that's right. Wow, he's a real negative now, isn't he? I don't like him. Anyway, should we get on with the show? Yep. What about this? The Thran-thrastic three. Yeah.

Good team, right? Yeah. A team of three is okay, I guess. Yeah. But they always feel like they're missing something. You know what I mean? A man that's on fire. Yeah, or like a bear.

You know, like they've got a funny animal or whatever. Okay, sure. The Thran-thrastic three and a bear. Okay, cool. Yeah, or like a bear. You know, like they've got a funny animal or whatever. Okay, sure. The Thrantastic Three and a bear. Okay, cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, just the famous five and there are a bunch of kids that get into adventures but there's also a bear that pursues them at all times. So that's separate from the adventures that they're getting on? Yes,

it is. Okay, right. So it's an independent threat they're dealing with. They're like, oh, I heard there was a ghost ship. Let's explore the shore. And there's just a page where they all just look suspiciously to one side like, oh. And then they move on. Let's go to the shore. Ship to shore and a bear.

There we go. What a show. So you probably watched the trailer for Fantastic Nine. I did watch the trailer for Fantastic Nine. Fast and Furious 9, F9, whatever it's called. Furiously 9. What is it actually called? I have no idea.

I think it's just called F9 maybe. Like the hot key. It is. You're right. Is it F9 colon A Fast and Furious Adventure or something? No, it's just F9. Wow. What's the F9 key do?

Hit it and see what happens. Full reset. There you go. Oh, no. It does audio if I pinch press the function key. Shift does seemingly nothing. I'm sure it does something in Microsoft Word. Yeah, more certainly.

Yeah. Also, you could, of course, set it to a hotkey. See, the last one was called The Fate of the Furious, and that was eight. I don't know what these guys are doing, mate. That's right. I don't know what's going on. See, we're two idiots in a room.

Sure. But movie executives are a bunch of really rich idiots in a room, so you would think that they could come up with a good play on the number nine for this thing. They've had more time than us. Yeah, absolutely. How many members are in the Furious team at this point, Mason? Okay.

I can find out. Vin Diesel. Yep. Michelle Rodriguez. Yep. Vin Diesel's wife if she goes on field missions. No, she died. What about the new, doesn't he have a new wife?

No, Vin Diesel's wife is Michelle Rodriguez. Is she? Yeah, because his old wife got shot and then him and Michelle Rodriguez adopted the son he had with her. I don't think they were married. Okay, well, now I'm thinking of additional lady. Additional. So just another lady.

Another lady. So that's three. Okay, let's say. Scott Eastwood, is he in this? No. Okay, then Han. Yeah, Han's back. Okay.

Ludacris. Another lady, let's say Jordana Brewster. That's the one. Who's Paul Walker's wife. Ah, that'll do it. So she's back. Okay,. Ludacris. Another lady, let's say Jordana Brewster. That's the one. Who's Paul Walker's wife. Ah, that'll do it. So she's back. So Ludacris. Ludacris, yep.

Tyrese Gibson. Tyrese Gibson, that's six. Yep. The Rock and Jason Statham. Not in this one. I know reserve members, though. Okay, let's add them at the end. Yep.

Lucas Black is in it. Okay. He's from Too Fast Too Furious No, Too Fast We're in Tokyo Is there a tech woman as well? What happened to her? She was in the last one Yeah, she's in it as well. She's from Game of Thrones That's eight

And then we've got Helen Miriam in this one That's true, yeah Let's say nine And there'll be others because apparently Bow Wow's in it as well So cool, really cool stuff Anyway, in this one Is there enough room for him considering he's regular Bow Wow now and because apparently Bow Wow's in it as well. Huh. So cool. Really cool stuff. Anyway, in this one. Is there enough room for him considering he's regular Bow Wow now and not Lil Bow Wow?

Yeah, they're going to have to take out the booster seat. So what did you think of this trailer? It gives away the whole movie, doesn't it? What if you saw this trailer and I said this was from Seven, what would you say? Would you remember enough? Or is the space? No, I would remember.

Yeah, no, I would know this wasn't Seven because it has the jet that picks up cars. It's a jet purpose built for picking up cars that leap off like bridges and off cliffs and stuff. But there is like a big spinning truck, which we've seen before. Remember there was a big spinning truck action sequence in one of them? Paul Walker did it with maybe Tony Jaa. Okay, sure.

Okay, sure. That's the correct answer. Anyway, the big deal about this is, of course, they also go to space. Okay, sure. Okay, sure. That's the correct answer. Anyway, the big deal about this is, of course, they also go to space. They do go to space, yeah. But here's the thing, what I think about this is, this is what I think, Mason. Here comes a hot thought. Here's what James think. And his segment.

Here's what James think. It's the two comic relief. No, I did not misspeak. It's the two comic relief characters, Tyrese Gibson and Ludacris, who I guess are just comic relief at this point, right? Yeah, but I think Ludacris is the straight man in the duo, though, obviously. They're both comedy, do you know what I mean?

Yeah, yeah. If there's like a straight man duo, one of them is like still part of that duo. That is true, yes. It is undeniable. It is, that's right. We've worked that for years successfully. Exactly.

One funny guy, one boring guy. That's right. We've worked that for years successfully. Exactly. One funny guy, one boring guy. That's right. You know, you need them both. Yeah, exactly. Thanks for being here. So they're in funny spacesuits. Yes, they are, yeah. If it was Vin Diesel going to space, would he be wearing a funny spacesuit?

No, he'd be wearing a cool spacesuit. Exactly, yeah. That's what I'm thinking. So I think if next one week they go fully to space. I mean, he'd be sleeveless, obviously. Exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I'm thinking. So I think if next one week they go fully to space. I mean, he'd be sleeveless, obviously. Yeah, that's what I was thinking, exactly. Or at the very least transparent. Oh, transparent sleeves.

Yeah, definitely. Yeah. Or the whole top is transparent. You can see his wife feet underneath. Yeah, good stuff. I think the next one might be like full space mission, space station maybe. Vin Diesel's helmet would have hair on it.

Would it? Is he that kind of guy? I don't think he's got that kind of vanity. No, probably not. Yeah, he hasn't had hair for so long that it's okay. You know what I mean? Yeah. Good on him.

Anyway, whatever. There's another one. We're all, they'll make a lot of money and we'll go to it and they'll drop a car through another car or whatever happens. Sure will. Yeah. A car will pick up a bus and that'll have a car in it. It'll be good.

I'm just excited for the conversation. I know we've talked about this before, but I'm just excited for the conversation where John Cena as Dom Toretto's brother explains why he became a master thief, assassin, special forces guy because- Living in the shadow. Because the DVD, his DVD thief brother, you know, was too, you know, was getting the limelight, you know, and he was just jealous.

Oh, my God. And then it just happens that they're both like international super spies now. Turns out, doesn't it? Yeah, it's cool. And they look nothing alike. Do you think it's going to be a stepbrother situation or half-brother?

Oh. Because they look nothing alike is what I'm saying. No, just regular brothers. Just regular brothers? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I guess sometimes regular brothers do look alike. That is true, yeah. I'm a straight man, so now you do a joke.

No, that doesn't feel right. It was a perfect setup. It was the perfect setup. Army of the Dead got a trailer. Yes. Another one. I was kind of like, eh, whatever for the first one. This looks amazing.

Yeah. What did you think? Fun heist movies. Yeah. How many members of the team are in this? Dave Bautista. Oh, my God. Let's not.

Some other randos. I don't know. Tig Notoro. She's in this. Yeah. So this time around, well, not this time around, in this movie. Is this set in the Dawn of the Dead universe or no? Not to my knowledge, but it could be.

It seems like they've quarantined a bunch of the zombie stuff to Vegas, like Resident Evil 3 maybe. How did anybody bloody, bloody notice? You're not wrong. I'm the funny guy. I'm the funny guy. It's a bit weird over in Vegas, you know? It is a bit, yeah.

Yeah, that's right. It's very unpleasant in a lot of ways. But there's a zombie tiger, which I enjoyed. And also what I think distinguishes this from a lot of other zombie shows and movies is it's smart zombies, but like I haven't really seen before. I know they've been in stuff. They did a bit in 28 Weeks Later, but they're like using tactics and you can see one like ducking like machete blows

and shit like that. I think it looks incredible, to be honest. Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, Zack Snyder got his start with a zombie movie and he's gone off and made many other things. But, yeah, I think it's interesting to come back to this and to me it looks really good.

But we'll see. On Netflix, when it comes out, whenever that is, do you want me to find out? Because I want to know too. I feel like you started typing even before you knew my answer to that question. In fact, you still don't know my answer to the question. Yeah, and? Yeah, do it.

May 21st next month. Sweet. That's what's good about the Netflix releases. If you see a trailer, that means it's coming up relatively soon. So you've probably heard about this, but there's going to be what was called a Gotham Central TV series that spins off from the Batman.

Ah, okay, yeah. But Ed Brubaker, who was on Fat Man Beyond this week, he mentioned- Oh, he had a lot of stuff to say this week, didn't he? Yeah, so we'll get to that. But he mentioned that it's going to be a James Gordon show predominantly, so they're kind of leaning away from the Gotham Central thing and making it- Making it more towards Gotham. Yes, exactly.

TV series Gotham. Exactly, yeah. Seems that way. I mean, Gotham is- it's Gotham Central Yes, exactly. The TV series Gotham. Exactly, yeah. It seems that way. I mean, Gotham is Gotham Central also, you know what I mean? It's a bit of everything. It's a Batman prequel. It's a bunch of stuff. But, yeah, cool.

I like that choice of James Gordon as well. But what was some of the other stuff that he did? Well, I mean, Ed Brubaker did not create Bucky Barnes, but he did change the character into the Winter Soldier. Yes. Like, you know, because canonically Bucky Barnes was dead in the Marvel comic book universe, and then Ed Brubaker had the idea of, well, why don't we bring him back, one of the last holdouts of characters

that have stayed dead. So he didn't die. He, in fact fact became the Winter Soldier and he's been in a lot of stuff. It's a great concept. Great concept. Brought a character back in a way that wasn't kind of cheap. Yeah.

And kind of like a cheat, like, you know, okay. It's like universally thought to be the best Marvel movie. Yep. It's one of the best Marvel comic book sagas. Yep. Again, Ed Brubaker did write at least a year of Captain America comics when Captain America wasn't in it. Yep.

Which I would say like a couple of decades ago would be completely unthinkable. That's right. Like just a – They'd turn him into a werewolf before they wrote him out. That's right, exactly. Which is what they did. But it was, you know, it's a great storyline and compelling. But as he said in this episode of this podcast,

every time he sees that character on screen now, he's like, huh, I really didn't get anything for that, did I? Just like a bit of thanks. I get a thank you or maybe like co-created by or something like that. A mustang. Yeah. Especially, yeah, because the new series, which is doing very well, and he's one of the main characters.

Yeah. His name's in the title. His name's in the title. So, yeah, and the new series, which is doing very well, and he's one of the main characters. Yeah. His name's in the title. His name's in the title. So, yeah, and I can completely understand that. But I wonder whether from this, because Marvel have a reputation for stealing stuff or not stealing stuff, I guess. They don't have creator-owned projects. Yes.

But then they do end up paying people off sometimes. I wonder if it's like because it would be a difficult sort of dance to negotiate. I don't think he has the right to it at all. I just mean as an act of good faith. Yeah, no, that's what I mean too. But I think like in terms of you would have because if you don't say anything, they will just keep using the character with no reward for you.

But if you kick up too much of a stink, they'll be like. You're a big sook. You're a big sook, they'll say. That's right. Wah, this is you, wah. That's right. They'll send you one of their famous no prize sook awards. So yeah.

Just an envelope with a picture of you awkwardly Photoshopped with tears coming out of your face. And a tiny packet of tissues. That's right. It's like, wow, that's you. So, yeah. That's a possum. Is your dog on the roof?

That's a possum. Okay, right, right, right. I have an ongoing rivalry. Oh, I'm aware. Yeah. One day your dog's going to get that possum. I don't know. Maybe.

I don't know how she'd go in that situation. Oh, we would shoot the possum first and then pass it on. Oh, okay. Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah. Fair enough. And then say, you got it. You're a good dog. Yeah, you're a good dog. We appreciate you. So, yeah. Well, I guess we'll see how that and then pass it on. Oh, okay. Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah, fair enough. And then say, you got it. You're a good dog.

Yeah, you're a good dog. We appreciate you. So, yeah, well, I guess we'll see how that unfolds, if it does, in the future. But, yeah, I can understand he's upset about that. Yeah. Because a lot of the Marvel Universe is built off the back of this. Yeah, but I, yeah. And I, on the one, not to get too bloody serious about it,

but, I mean, on the one hand. Wait, you're the comic relief guy. Yeah, we're switching it around there. You've got to say some jokes. So you go, get your jokes ready. Okay. Get your jokes ready. I'll just put on this hat with a propeller on it.

Okay, cool. And my spinning bow tie. Okay, well, I'll put down my propeller hat and spinning bow tie. I'll pick it up at any moment if it's needed. On the one hand, it's like, well, you know, there are more opportunities for creator-owned stuff these days. Our old pal Mark Millimilar proves that. But at the same time, you know, if the only game in town

in a lot of instances is Marvel or DC, you've, you know, and if you work to be seen by a wide audience, you've got to work with one of them and they're not in the habit of giving you creative control or money. Money, yeah. Yep, that's right. Exactly. Great punchline there when you said money.

I like that. Thanks. See how good it feels? But, I mean, he hasn't done a bunch of creator-owned stuff. Yeah, he's successful. Of course he is. He's a very successful and probably reasonably well-off comic creator. But if you go into, like, you know, a department store

and there's a shelf of Winter Soldier toys, people are like, ooh, those are $30 each and I'm not making any. You go on eBay and there's, like, a terrible sleeve Bucky Barnes costume, you know what I mean? Somebody's done some eBay searching recently, James. Oh, I have, Mason. Yeah. I mean, Halloween's only a few short months away.

That's it, exactly. What have we got here? So, yeah, you mentioned Mark Miller. Deadline are reporting that Starlight is getting a movie adaptation, presumably for Netflix because they own all this stuff. Joe Cornish is going to direct that. Okay. And.

Remind me who that is again. He did, I think he recently did The Kid Who Will Be King, but he also did Attack the Block. Oh, of course he did, yeah. That's right. And did he do Wolf Fight? Ah, Liam Neeson's Wolf Fight. Yeah.

Maybe. Let me check. I think he might have. Anyway, Wolf Fight's a good movie. So this is in the wake of Jupiter's Legacy, which is soon to be out on Netflix, which is also a Mark Millar-Millar. No, he didn't. He didn't do.

But he wrote Ant-Man 2015, which I guess was when Edgar Wright was attached because I know they're friends. No, he didn't. Joe Carnahan did Wolf Fight. Anyway. Yeah, so basically if you haven't read the comic and it's good, I think it's like four or five issues. It's like a Buck Rogers-esque space adventurer who comes back to Earth

and he's like, I went on all these fantastical adventures across the universe. And everyone's like, no, you didn't. And then he just lives the rest of his life, like 40 plus years, and he just ages into irrelevancy. He's just this kind of old crazy man who lives up the street and then he gets called back into adventure. Straps on the old jetpack again.

It's a good series. So, yeah, good stuff. I'm glad they're making more of this stuff. So good and okay. What about this, Mason? Go on. So Stuart Nash, who you might know as New Zealand's Minister for Economic Development and Tourism.

Yeah, of course. Yeah. You mentioned some numbers regarding the Amazon's adaptation of Lord of the Rings, their series. And so he mentioned, and I'm just going to have to bring this up because it's in New Zealand dollars. Oh, well. But he said that what I can tell you is that Amazon is going to spend

about $650 million New Zealand dollars in one season alone. Wow. Which is. That's like $450 million American. Something like that, yeah. And like Game of Thrones ended up being $464 million. Yeah. Game of Thrones ended up being like I think $10 million an episode

in the last season or something like that. And Marvel's probably about that, same with the Star Wars stuff. But that's. That's a staggering amount of money. It's a staggering amount of money. Yeah. Especially when you can just do it's a staggering amount of money. Yeah. Especially when you can just do it on a green screen. That seems easier.

Seeing as you can just imagine it in your mind for free, we can all do that. Read a book. James, I'm getting the word out. You don't have to sign up for any of this stuff. You can just imagine it in your mind. Just as good. But people picture things differently in their mind.

Like how do you imagine thoughts? All we're going to do is we're going to provide like a reference guide. Okay. It'll be like we'll film some stuff obviously. Get some of those New Zealand tourism dollars. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we'll film that and we'll do some visual effects and whatever. Yeah.

And then if we can all watch that at like roughly the same time each week and then just then imagine it, you know? Wow. Yeah, right? That's awesome. You'll have to pay a nominal fee, obviously, for the reference guide. I can appreciate that. Yeah, like $10 a month, something like that, $10.15, you know?

No such thing as a free lunch. That's exactly right. That's right. What about free second lunch? Oh! You are the funny one. Mason, let's do the next. Oh, my God.

Next bit of news. This is in relation to the new Spider-Man movie. Spider-Man, there's multidimensional things happening and he might be in a court case because everybody knows that he's Spider-Man. The movie. That's right. So Murphy's Multiverse said that Happy Hogan is returning

in some capacity. Okay. Not a surprise. I'm your lawyer, Peter. Oh, no. I don't know what I'm doing. Oh, no. I'm not qualified for this.

I'm not qualified for anything. And after... He's really not, is he? I was just a Stark Industries garbage man for a really long time. That's probably how he... I found a suit in a bin. He was a driver, wasn't he? Initially, that's how he started. He had a real fast and furious kind of rise

to fame and power, didn't he? Calling him sir and so forth. My goodness. So Variety are reporting... this is true, so Alfred Molina just came out and just told everybody what's going on with the movie. Right. So I just got some quotes here.

But he said, when we were shooting it, we were under orders not to talk about it because, oh, by the way, if you don't know, the next Spider-Man movie is going to have Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield and all different villains and heroes. Allegedly. Allegedly from across the multiverse. But Alfred Molina, who people will know as Dr. Octopus in Spider-Man 2,

the Sam Raimi movie, has just been like, yeah, I'm in it. Yeah. I'm in this. Beyond that, he said, while we were shooting it, we were under orders not to talk about it because it was supposed to be some great big secret. But, you know, it's all over the internet. I actually described myself as the worst kept secret in Hollywood.

So he mentioned that I died. So he said that to director John Watts because, if you remember the end of Spider-Man 2, he drowns. He grabs the sun and he falls into the water. It's crazy. It's a good movie. Anyway, and then John Watts says, in this universe, no one really dies.

And Watts told him that the movie will pick up Doc Ock's story from that moment in the river. And then he had concerns about, well, that was, we made that movie like nearly 20 years ago. You know, I'm like mid-50s, maybe 60s by now. And he said, and they said, did you see what they did with Bob Downey Jr. and Sam Jackson? So I guess they're going to de-age him.

But he had made mention that they made Robert De Niro's face younger in The Irishman, but when he was fighting, he looked like an older guy. And so, you know, what are we going to do about that? And he realised that as Doc Ock all he has to do is kind of stare sinisterly and all the arms do all the work. That's right. Which if you watch that movie, that's exactly what happens. I wonder if they're going to do physical puppets.

Physical arms, right? Because a lot of that movie is that and it's spectacular. We've done videos on it. Because a lot of the impact, I mean, you know, and obviously visual effects have improved in the decades since. But, you know. Yeah, a lot of it you wouldn't really know, would you? Yeah, but I mean these, like, if they can do it

and it's indistinguishable from the previous, I mean if anybody can make it indistinguishable from the previous versions, I guess it's Marvel and Disney with all their money. But you don't want, people, if there is even the slightest difference, people will pick up on it, I think. Absolutely. For a lot of people, that is their favourite superhero movie,

favourite Spider-Man movie. And people have watched it hundreds of times probably. I think also they could tell people they did it physically and then not. Most people won't know. Because a lot of the time, like if you look at like the Winter Soldier's arm in that show that's happening at the moment, the review's up, Colling's did amazing. Did you see that transition that people are talking about at the start?

No. You should watch it. There's a transition between Emily Van Camp and Baron Zemo. Oh. It's amazing. Is it Wonder Woman style? Does Emily Van Camp twirl around and turn into Baron Zemo? What was I talking about?

I can't remember. But anyway, yeah, so that arm is completely CGI, like for most of it. And you don't really, you can't really tell, you know what I mean? Sure, sure. Even though it has to be, obviously. But what I found interesting about this is, though, does that mean that when they visit that universe, that it's going to pick up in like 2007?

Oh, yeah, right. And that means they're going to de-age everybody, or is it going to be like 15, 20 years on from the last one? Yeah. Because they could set it in 2007. Also, this could all be a red herring. I don't think so.

I don't think it is, but it could be. I think he's just like, I'm 60 and I've just said things. Look, I would much prefer it to be, I think I'd prefer it to be set now. I agree. Yeah. But whatever. Because I want to see, you know, a few things. I want to see, one, how all the relationships have evolved in this universe.

And I want to see, like, we want to see the ramifications of what's happened in that universe, you know, in the intervening decades. But also want to see what the new suit looks like. Which I think will probably be the same. But I'd like it to be different. Imagine if it was slightly different. Imagine what you would say. Different shoulders. Imagine if they had different shoulders.

Imagine what you would say. Yeah. Oh, my they had different shoulders. Imagine what you would say. Yeah. Oh, my goodness, you'd say. So there you go. That's exciting, I think. Yeah. I can't wait for that movie. Different boots.

Different boots. That's exciting, I think. Yeah, yeah. So that's December, probably. Yeah. Depending if we get another pandemic or even the same pandemic comes back. We'll just see what happens with pandemics this year. Oh, my God.

Can you imagine a retro pandemic? Oh, my God. Are people having nostalgia for the pandemic already? Yeah, they sure are. Yeah. Oh, my God. Remember staying inside? Oh, my God. Can you imagine a retro pandemic? Oh, my God. People are having nostalgia for the pandemic already, aren't they? They sure are, yeah. Oh, my God. Remember Staying Inside? My goodness. Jordan Vogt-Roberts, who you might know from Kong Skull Island,

is also working on the new Metal Gear movie. Yeah. He did Kings of Summer. If you haven't seen that, it's a good coming-of-age movie. He is working on the live-action Gundam movie for Netflix. Interesting. So for those people who don't know, Mason will explain what Gundam is. Oh, we're switching all our roles this week.

We are, Mason. So I'm now the guy who knows everything about anime. Correct, yes. Here, here's my fedora. Thanks, man. Well, actually, Gundam is about... Look, honestly, I don't really know anything about Gundam. Fighting robots.

There's big robots. They turn into jets and stuff, maybe. I can't remember. You're thinking more of Robotech? I am, which is also something I know a lot about. Gundam is more... They're mostly... There's a big one in Japan, I think.

There sure is. You know? Yeah. They're mostly non... I think some of them have some transforming aspects. Yeah. Most of them are just big robots and they're in a space force and they're fighting each other.

There's big wars. Yeah. There's Gundams. It was aired in 1976. I know that. Yeah. On the first episode aired on July 5th. But that's not what's important.

The important thing is- Go on. That do you think this will distinguish itself from like Pacific Rim and and godzilla which just which just came out in a bunch of other stuff do you think it's yeah because it's cool robots yeah that's the thing that way i'm now i'm i've never really been convinced by the robots in the pacific rim movies yeah okay they don't feel they don't feel solid and physical yeah okay to me at all what What about you? Yeah. I think, okay, all right. I guess. Wow, wow.

We did one of them recently for Canada Garden. We did, it's true, yeah. Until last year. Yeah, and my feelings are much the same. It just feels like CGI moving around. If we're doing big robots punching each other, I want to feel the. Would you want, see, the Gundam design, in my opinion, there's a simplicity to it that, say, there isn't in Pacific Rim.

There's a lot of moving parts and tech and design and, like, texture, and do you think you'd maybe go with more of a flat, matte kind of design? Yes. Do you know what I mean by that? Like a simple, less kind of tech world, tech real world. Yeah. I mean, Gundam always struck me as more like, you know,

fighter jets from the 60s. Yeah. You know? That vibe, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe. Wow. We're both big fans. We're both big fans.

We've both proven that. We've both earned the fedora today, haven't we? You better believe it. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, here we go. Last bit of news. We've got some casting news. There's actually three bits of news. Lucy Liu has been cast as

the villain in Shazam 2. Cool. I like Lucy Liu. Any idea of what role she's taking? Sometimes God or whatever, I assume. Or a worm. They already cast the worm, didn't they? Could be Mrs. Mind. Mrs. Mind. Interesting.

Is there a Mr. Mind? Yeah, this would work. Yeah, we got that on the list. We've got it taken care of. Gabriel Luna is cast as Tommy in The Last of Us. Ah, he's a ghostwriter? Yes, he is. And also Newish Terminator. I thought he was really good in that. But

so Pedro Pascal is Joel. Yes. So Pedro Pascal is Joel. Yes. So he's Joel's brother and he plays a minor role in the first game and then a much bigger role in the second. Yeah, right. But he's not the lead in that show. Yeah, right.

He might not be by a long stretch. And the other one is, which I think is also very interesting, just got interesting casting here. I've written interesting casting here. Things just got interesting. I'm actually changing this, my notes, to interesting casting, even though I'll never look at this again. I'll never look at that.

Yeah. I've spelt it wrong and now the spell text is freaking out. Why did I do this? Everything's locking up, folks. It really is. This could be the end. So Mads Mikkelsen is in Indiana Jones 5. In what capacity?

Bad guy. Probably. Yeah. Rival archaeologist slash maybe a Nazi or something. Maybe, yep, maybe head of the artifacts department at the

university. He sends Indy on his mission. He's like, you've got one more mission, but don't trust anybody. I'll be back later to double-cross you. And in the end he saves the day and he's like, I told you not to trust anyone. I said I was going to betray you, but I didn't. You shouldn't be so judgmental, Indiana Jones.

That's you. I guess it would be interesting if he wasn't that villain. Your name's not even really Indiana. Who's the lion now? Henry Jones. Good point, yeah. So Indiana Jones chose the dog. Yes.

Like he chose to name himself after a dog. Correct, yes. Anybody can identify as anything. That's fine with me. Okay, then. That's all I'm saying, basically. Wow. I see you put your hero fedora on.

I certainly have. Such as Indiana Jones might wear. He certainly would and does. So there you go. That's all of the news. You've got your bullwhip of allyship. You're swinging it about. Everybody, take this. Ja's all of the news. You've got your bullwhip of allyship swinging at about. Everybody, take this! I'm on your side!

So as mentioned up top, franchises be coming back sometimes. Sometimes. Sometimes they come back and people are like, boo, fuck off, fuck back off, we don't like this. Yeah. We don't want this, we don't like it. But sometimes they die for a while and then somebody makes a good thing and everyone's like, you know what, you can maybe stick around for it.

We'll see. And then they make the sequel and everybody's like, oh, boo. Fuck this up. Get out of here. Start running. It's fun to use a whip. It is, isn't it? Yeah.

We put this out on Patreon. We put this up on the Planet Broadcasting Great Mates group. That's right. And I guess, yeah, so it has to be that this died or dipped dramatically and then something revived it. Yeah. So we've got some of our own stuff. We've got some suggestions.

That's right. Let's fill some time before the big episode next week. Okay. You know what I mean? Here we go. Let's fill, baby. Hi-ya! Hi-ya!

Okay, this is Molly Brady in the Planet Broadcasting Great Mates group. Let's do it. I should really learn how to the Planet Broadcasting Great Mates group. Let's do it. I should really learn how to pronounce Planet Broadcasting Great Mates group. You just did it just then. You've got the PBGM or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever it is.

The PBJ sandwich. That's right. Ollie Brady says, Creed bringing back the Rocky franchise was a surprise and a welcome one at that. A perfect example of how it should be done. And 17 people have liked that, so you know it's good. That is good. Let's add two more to that.

19. Yes. You and me. But I'm not going to go in there and like. And I'm not going to click this. I'm not going to click it. Because then the whole page, who knows what happens. Yeah, right, exactly.

Okay, I agree because Creed is like a brand new character and we're getting a new movie with Michael B. Jordan and Stallone's not coming back. But I would also say that Rocky Balboa rewrote that ship before Creed did. Okay, right. Because Five is where it dipped. Oh, yeah. Like they got silly but popular.

Yes. And then Five was also the only one I haven't seen. Yeah. Like just sunk it, killed it. Yes, that's true. But then Rocky Balboa is a very good movie, I feel. But yeah, but Creed is its own thing though, isn't it? Yeah, yeah.

Well, let's say both of those. Okay, take my like off that. Okay, I'm going to take, I have admin privileges here, so maybe I'll remove some of these likes. Please, if you could. And ban Ollie. Here we go. And ban member.

And block. So we've got to talk about fast. How dare you. Sending a personal message. Here we go. And band member. And block. So we've got to talk about Fast and Furious. How dare you. Sending a personal message. How dare you. So we've got to talk about Fast and Furious though. Now it never went away obviously because they kept making them. And they even made one number four where they bought back Paul Walker

and Vin Diesel. But it wasn't until number five with The Rock and Dragon are Safe and whatever. Yeah, yeah. That's kind of the standard of what people expect now going into these movies. Right. I think that is, that's one of the best examples of something

that just completely reinvented itself and turned a corner. Would you say that. Drifted a corner. Would you say that the series flatlined at four? I've seen that movie and I remember there's a tunnel under Mexico or something. I don't remember. See, that's the thing. For me, it's a complete black hole, that movie.

I can't remember. But you have seen it. Yes, I think. Because they were all on Netflix for a minute. All of them were on there and I'm like, oh, wait, wait, wait, watch these. We should do a Caravan of Garbage, I think, on the first three maybe. At the very least. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Absolutely. Just to say, because it's been a long time since I have seen the first few. I'm pretty sure it's on the list. I've got a list of things coming out. Yeah, great. It's coming up, yeah. Would you say that, does it count because? Oh, Mortal Kombat this week, Mortal Kombat Legacy for Caravan of Garbage,

the web series. Oh, yeah, that's right, yeah, yeah, yeah. Bit of a mixed bag, I thought. Agreed. Was there enough time? Does there need to be a- Did it stop? See, that's the thing.

Does there need to be a big break in the- But I feel like these movies, I mean, if you look at the box office alone, people weren't seeing them. Not in the numbers they are now. Oh, yeah, that's true, yeah. They're billion dollar movies. Yeah. And they were never that.

Yeah. And so I think it's, again, of why that's a very good, like they didn't stop in the 2010s. Yeah, yeah. Like they just kept making them. They should have stopped. Maybe. Two is dreadful.

Have you seen two? Two is awful. And I don't think I've seen three. Should have stopped at two. Yeah. But I'm glad they didn't. Yeah. But it's.

I'm glad my continued support of not seeing it at the movies saved them. There's a lot of CGI cars into it. Oh, my God. It's not a very good movie. And I would argue that the first one's also not very good, if I'm honest. Yeah, but at least it had real cars. That's the thing. That's true, yeah.

Probably because they could afford, like, crashing a couple of Nissan 350Zs together, but they couldn't CGI that at the time. It's always kind of been a joke though, right, in different ways. Yeah. Like it's still a joke. It's just kind of more self-aware now. But I think not to everybody watching them.

Yeah, you're probably right. Anyway, good on them. They did it. What's another one then? Joshua Dalton says Casino Royale brought back Bond. Agreed. I would definitely agree. That's a very strong.

I mean, I'll think a bunch of people had said this. 100%. 100%. Not that I don't think they're redeeming qualities to the Dalton Bonds, which was the previous Bond. Yeah. But I don't think. That was Brosnan.

Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. We just watched them. We just did a whole series on them. No, we didn't just watch them. That was a long time ago. Late last year, maybe. Okay, right. Okay, wow. Well, not that there aren't redeeming qualities

to the movie GoldenEye, the first Brosnan movie, but the rest are actually the... Look, I think we discovered there was stuff to like about the subsequent movies, but the last couple are just... One's boring, and one is just the worst. Right.

And it's amazing that they got another chance at this. Okay, fair. It was nearly a year ago that we did Die Another Day. So that was May 26th. So I apologise. Let's go back and do the Dalton Bonds. I would love to. And I've never seen them, I don't think. Yeah.

Looks like a pencil, that man, doesn't he? A little bit. Yeah, I like him. Yeah. Yeah, I completely agree. And the formula of Bond is still just doing that thing, the Daniel Craig thing, and it needs another kick in the ass. Yeah.

Because it's kind of dull and the movies are not good. And the movies aren't even coming out. It needs that kick in the pants. Well, the last one in particular wasn't very good, I should say. I don't mind the Craig Bonds, to be fair. What about this one? You know what? I have recently.

What have you got recently? If I go to like a streaming service and all the Bonds are on there, you know what the one I rewatch the most? What's that? Probably Quantum of Solace. It's brisk. It's brisk. Good clothes.

Car chase. Yeah, that's right. Well, I maintain that if, I've said this a million times, but if you watch Casino Royale and then Quantum of Solace back to back, it works as a single narrative. It dips. And I've said a a million times, but if you watch Casino Royale and then Quantum of Solace back-to-back, it works as a single narrative. It dips. And I've said a million and one times, why would a man take his jacket off and then take his vest off and then put his jacket back on?

The continuity is ruined, James. Is it even the same suit? No. So he changed his entire outfit. During a car chase, yeah. But, I mean, I'm giving the movie enough credit to be like it's the same suit. Maybe it's a different universe. Maybe he's got a tearaway vest on.

He might. He could tear it from the front. We don't know where he got that suit. Maybe he got it at some sort of suits for strippers store. There is one video game where you play the mission leading up to the car chase. So after he shoots, whoever the guy is at the end of Casino Royale, and then you shoot your way to the car chase.

You have to drag him through the Mall of America. He gets a new suit and a JC Penney. That's right. But also I think, but then in that video game, you don't then play the car chase, which is kind of like. What's the point? What are you even doing? I'd like to play Bloodstone as well for Caravan and Garbage.

I think that's a pretty solid Bond game. What about Mad Max? A few people have said Mad Max. James Kalanaya on the group has said Fury Road. Yeah, oh, my God. I got Pilts says the same thing. Definitely after Beyond Thunderdome and actually after Mel Gibson's Drunk Rants, but Fury Road brought it back.

Yeah, I wasn't – they kept kind of pushing it back. I remember hearing about it as a kid. They were going to make it again again and it never ended up happening. And then, you know, all through the 2010s as well, it was kind of coming and going and cancelled. It was going to be animated and Mel Gibson was in, then he was out, then they recast and it's like – and it's fucking incredible. It's an amazing movie.

It's a miracle is what it is. Yeah, and everybody who made it, like hated it, made it, thought it was going to be terrible. Tom Hardy's Australian accent is not good. Correct. But it's an incredible movie and we're getting a Furiosa prequel. Well, I mean, let's hold back on has this saved the franchise if the franchise continues.

I think it's, yeah. I mean, it's good enough that it is. It's saved enough that people want another one. Yeah, that's true. I think that in itself is good. What about this one? What about X-Men First Class after Wolverine, Dog Origins? That is a good question.

Because it was one of the lowest performing, but for me it's one of the best X-Men movies. And off the back of that we got Days of Future Past, Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix. Sure. And, look, not good movies. And arguably like also The Wolverine and Logan as well because that movie, I think if that movie had bombed or not been good,

they would have reassessed again what direction they would have gone. Yeah. It's a good movie. That's what I'm saying. Look, if we're going to argue, it would have saved the franchise insofar as it didn't bomb so hard that the calculation of whether we make another one went to no. Like that's the only way it saved the franchise.

You know what I mean? And it's interesting because it wasn't supposed to be the next one. They were supposed to do Magneto Origins or something. Oh, yeah, that's right. And they reworked it into this thing. One-inch spike guy origins. What's he up to? Where do you get his one-inch spikes?

Yeah. As a teenager, you probably just got them. Oh, yeah. Doesn't really change much. Can't do nothing with these. But, I mean, you know, it didn't – this isn't a – look, I would say like a James Bond franchise. I don't love all the Daniel Craig sequels,

but I think they're of a consistent quality. Sure, okay. I can complain all day long, and I will, about the stuff in those movies, but they're enjoyable to watch for the most part. I enjoy the cast and the- What kind of watch is he going to show off? Omega Seamaster, obviously. My goodness gracious.

But if First Class saved the X-Men franchise, then the next one's just ruined it again. Yes. So I'm going to say no. I'm going to say it didn't. Tracer Fidget Pass is all right, even though it was directed by a sex criminal. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

What about Fraser Matthews who says Doctor Who but question mark? Because Doctor Who was dead. Oh, my God, yeah. There was a telemovie in the mid-90s. That's right. Paul McGann, yeah. Paul McGann, who did come back for some audio dramas and a brief something. Yeah, he very briefly appears.

A web something? No, he appears in an episode. He appears in one of the three. War of the Doctors or something? Yeah, it he very briefly appears. A web something? No, he appears in an episode. He appears in one of the three. War of the Doctors or something? Yeah, it's the War Doctor. So there's an episode where Tennant and Matt Smith team up. Yes. The third Doctor.

John Hurt. John Hurt. And Paul McGann turns into John Hurt. That's right. And I always maintain it was going to be. It was supposed to be Eccleston. It was supposed to be Eccleston. We wouldn't come back to it.

Because he was the mean Doctor Who. He was like, it's World War II and I hate everybody. Exactly right, yeah. Everybody's turning into a gas mask alien or whatever happened. And again, absolutely mixed results, but. It's still going, isn't it? Still going, isn't it? Yeah.

But there was, I mean, the Eccleston one was well received, but then when David Tennant joined, that's when I jumped on board. Yeah. And stayed for too long. Sure. But there's some absolutely incredible episodes. I agree, yeah. Even seasons, I would say.

I said this, and I'm sure I've said it on the podcast as well, but just that. For a second I thought that microphone was, like your microphone wasn't plugged in. I'm just idly here, I'm just idly spinning a microphone cord. And for a moment you thought that I'd unplugged my own microphone. It was just, hey, what are we doing in here? Hey.

Just that they created a series, the new, the Eccleston, the Tenant, they created a series that reminds you of watching the old Doctor Who episodes. series that reminds you of watching the old Doctor Who episodes. It's not, you know, it's way better in terms of like stylistically and special effects and stuff like that, but it sort of gives you the feeling of those old episodes. Yeah, totally. Like if you went back and you watched those episodes, you might be like, these don't hold up.

Yeah. But if you just have fond memories. Get the smell of it, the scent of it. Exactly. The newer episodes, you know, and they're like a couple of decades old at this point, but they give you the feeling of the old ones, you know. I agree. And even I think there's some really good Matt Smith stuff

and some not good stuff. Sure. And then whatever they're doing. And I've seen one episode of Capaldi probably. I saw one and I watched one of Jodie Whittaker. Jodie Whittaker, yeah. Which apparently all those seasons are kind of mixed. Okay, great.

Also there's some also not good Tenet stuff in there as well. Yeah, yeah, that's true, yeah. There's not some pretty terrible stuff in there. What else, Mason? What else, James? Good, good question. A lot of people have mentioned, if you don't mind. Go ahead.

Dean says A Mission Impossible to a degree, which is interesting because it was a series in the 60s. Yes. It was rebooted in the 80s sort of successfully. Yeah. And then it was rebooted again in the 90s, but it was initially supposed to be a continuation of the series. That's true.

But the people involved with the original series, we've talked about this in the episodes we've done of Caravan of Garbage, but yeah, the original cast and that weren't happy about it. They were going to kill a bunch of them and turn some of them evil. So it became its own thing. But then it was also kind of rebooted again in three

but more recognised in four. Yeah. So four was the one where it really went big stunts. Yes. That's the one where things, that's the same with The Fast and Furious. It's a soft reinvention. Yes. But the soft reinvention was massive huge stunts. Yes. That's the one where things, that's the same with The Fast and Furious. It's a soft reinvention. Yes. But the soft reinvention was massive huge stunts.

And they went, look, we know Tom Cruise is weird. We know you hate him, but what if we try and kill him every movie? And people went, all right. All right. We'll buy tickets to this. Yeah. So I can't really argue with any of that. And they're highly anticipated.

There's always the big thing. Yeah, yeah. It's happening when filming that people are very excited to see whatever they're up to. They're pretty good, aren't they? Yeah, yeah. How about this? This is a comment by someone named Bach Holiday, which is a great name if you ask me.

He says, after the negative response to Batman and Robin, the Nolan trilogy swooped in and got a supporting actor Oscar. That's true. Do we count this as a rebooted franchise? I would say so. You think so? Yeah. No?

Well, I mean, yes, but also I guess Batman seems a whole different animal in the sense that it's- Because he never goes away. Because he never goes away, yeah. Yeah. But, I mean- He's a reboot. Yeah, that's true.

And it's, you know, there's probably points, you know, in the history of every character that they've been like, do we really keep going with this? Yeah, absolutely. I bet there's been a, there would definitely have been a moment, probably like post the 1960s Batman series maybe. Yeah. Batman comics probably would have taken a dip in the.

Oh, totally, yeah. In sales, you know, that kind of thing. Even though we're getting a new one and I am looking forward to it and I really like the trailer and I'll probably enjoy the movie a lot, I feel like they maybe should just give him a rest. Yeah. You know? Even though I'll see them, like I'll see them all.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'll watch the Gotham series and whatever, but I don't know. What about this? For the next one, ticket sales are lower. You just pay like five bucks. You go into a theatre and the lights go down and then just the Batman logo appears on screen and it's just a voice going, yeah, Batman's cool.

He is cool. He's cool. You know he's cool. We know he's cool. He's cool. He's got the cool costume. He's got a cool utility belt. He's good at fighting. The car's always cool. The car's always a cool car, isn't there? Yeah, cool. He's got the cool costume. He's got a cool utility belt. He's good at fighting.

The car's always. Which is cool. The car's always a cool car, isn't there? Yeah, cool. He's got a plane when he needs a plane. He's rich. That's cool. He's more of a jet than a plane.

Drives a Lamborghini when he's post-wading. That's cool, you know? Yeah. He's good at fighting. Did we mention that? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. It's cool.

And, like, if you like MMA, he can do that. He can do MMA. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what? Sometimes you think he's been beaten, right? But then he gets back He can do MMA, yeah. He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what? Sometimes you think he's been beaten, right, but then he gets back up again and he beats then. That's cool. That's cool.

You like that. You like that, don't you? Yeah, it's cool. Anyway, get the fuck out. That's it. That's it. And tell no one of this experience. It'd be cheap and it's what we all go there for, all that stuff.

It's what it is. It's just we're just going over the same old ground. He's a good detective, but it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Nobody cares. Nobody cares at this point. He's got a gadget that can do his detecting. He can look at a fingerprint or whatever.

He's got, yeah, different batarangs. He does, doesn't he? Sometimes he goes to like the Arctic or whatever and he's got like fur on his cloak. That's cool, isn't it? It's cool. You know how bats have sonar? Yeah, yeah. He'll sometimes use a sonar device. Yeah, that's cool. Oh, he's got a fur on his cloak. That's cool, isn't it? It's cool. You know how bats have sonar? Yeah, yeah.

He'll sometimes use a sonar device. Yeah, that's cool. Oh, he's got a heads-up display in his suit. It's cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's looking at Superman and there's a big target on Superman. That's cool. You might see sometimes he'll just type some things into his gauntlet.

Yeah, that's cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A hologram over his gauntlet. That's cool, man. That's cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get out. Get out. That's the sequel.'s cool yeah yeah get out get out

that's the sequel yeah yeah and I Batcave's cool it's cool it's a cave it's up in the Batcave yeah don't think about

all the bat shit in there yeah that's right yeah it's cool I've beaten you Batman I've beaten you because I'm pretty cool and twisted yeah

but then Batman gets up and he's like nah man actually no actually no and he socks him real hard in man. Actually, no. Actually, no. And he socks him real hard in the jaw. My goodness. He does some MMA on him.

That's cool. That is cool, isn't it? It's cool. It's all elbows and knees and grapples. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can't believe it. Tommy McTaggart says, Star Trek and Jurassic Park to an extent. Jurassic Park stopped, but I don't think it, like, it dipped.

But I don't think anybody ever stopped liking Jurassic Park. Oh, sure. And even the movies that people are like, ah, three's all right. I don't think it's ever like this is a ruined franchise. Does that make sense? Yeah, no, yeah, yeah. It did stop. It stopped for like 15 years.

Yeah. But, yeah. But I think like, you know, speaking of Batman earlier, there are people, you know, plenty of, and it depends I guess on the level of fandom. Like I'm sure there are people who are like, well, the Schumacher movies ruined Batman. But again, in retrospect, a lot of people are like,

these were cool, these were fun and dumb. Fun and cool, we love this. There's people who are like, Batman's got to be cool, like everybody who's the target audience for the movie we're going to make. And then there's people who are like, no, an essential element of Batman is that it's fun and dumb. Yeah.

Because there's been just as much media of Batman being dumb, fun and dumb and colourful than there is. I've seen the webcomics that people make. Yeah, that's right, yeah. So, you know. Yeah, that's fine. Yeah, it depends on your feelings as a fan, I think. So Jurassic Park is.

I love it. Love it. And they're all of equal quality. Even though you haven't seen two of them. Correct, yes. Yeah, it depends on your feelings as a fan, I think. So Jurassic Park is... I love it. Love it. And they're all of equal quality. Even though you haven't seen two of them. Correct, yes. Okay, good. They're all the same. What about Star Trek, though?

I mean, it was cancelled, then it was brought back as an animated series, then it was cancelled, then it came back as a movie franchise of varying quality. Correct, yes. The first one people didn't really like and then they wrath of Kanda. Have you seen the first one? Yes, I think we watched it together once. Did we?

No. It's like a submarine battle. I cannot imagine we sat together long enough to watch that. We watched a lot of garbage. Yeah, no, that's true. I'm pretty sure. Surely I didn't suggest that. We watched a lot of crap.

Wow. Email in if you think we watched Star Trek The Motion Picture together because I don't know if I would. Not in cinemas. I would have definitely said, hey, let's watch two. We did watch two, but I think we went, well, what's this one first? Really? Wow.

There's a submarine battle, right? No, that's two. That's Wrath of Khan. But isn't there like it's really slow space stuff as well? Oh, it's even slower. Yeah. But there's not really. Maybe I haven't seen it.

No, there's no space battle really in motion picture. Okay. Maybe I haven't seen it. It's just people. Contemplating? It's mostly contemplating really in motion picture. Okay. Maybe I haven't seen it. It's just people. Contemplating? It's mostly contemplating, yeah. Yeah. It's mostly the Enterprise like going into a big electric cloud.

I think I have seen that. Maybe you have seen it. I can't remember. Maybe you've seen a clip of it on YouTube. I don't want to watch it. No, you don't have to. I won't. Good.

I won't, Mason. Good. And then, of course, it disappeared. No, that didn't really disappear, but then the next gen started and that had multiple spin-offs and other series happening. Yes. And then Enterprise was the final series before everything was cancelled and then the movie sort of kept going, but then they got really bad

and then they rebooted them in 2009 with the J.J. Abrams series, which was initially very well received. Until the second one. Until the second movie. But even then there were always people that were like, this is more Star Wars than Star Trek, which I can't really argue with. And then Star Trek Beyond came out and people loved that, but it didn't make any money and then it stopped again.

But Discovery then happened on Netflix. Which a lot of people hate. Yes, but not as many people hate that as hate Picard, which is the very not very good series. I don't think anyone hates Picard. Everybody hates Picard. I don't think they hate it. I just think a lot of people are just nothing it.

Here's the thing, though. Santeri in the Facebook group has said, Star Trek has seen a lot of ups and downs. Just post X is the best slash worst Trek and there will be words. I think they're absolutely right. Okay, what would you say is the best slash worst Trek and there will be words. I think they're absolutely right. Yeah. Okay, what would you say is the best? Is it the next generation for you? Look, I was always a Deep Space Nine fan.

Okay, cool. Yeah. I think, yeah, Deep Space Nine I think was the first series that I started on the ground floor. Like I think Star Trek I started, Next Gen I started like season two or three or something and then I worked my way backwards. But maybe Deep Space Nine.

But again, people, discoveries, good stuff, man. For me, best is probably Star Trek Into Darkness. Oh, my God, he has the propeller hat on. I didn't notice. He put the hat back on. It introduced Khan, that character. That's true. That is true. Yeah. Oh, my God, he has the propeller hat on. I didn't notice. He put the hat back on. It introduced Khan, that character. That's true. That is true.

Yeah. Oh, my God. Great stuff. I think they announced they're doing that fourth movie or something. It's happening. I don't know. Wow, sounds like our franchise is going to get revitalised. I can't wait.

Hopefully they do the Chris Pine, Chris Hemsworth one. Chris Hemsworth needs to slim down if he's going to be. He can't be as big as he is to be in Star Trek. It doesn't make any sense. If he slims down, won't he get all baggy? No, he can do it properly. Okay, right. I did it.

Wow. What else have we got here? What about this? Matt says Karate Kid, which I guess is Cobra Kai, and The Evil Dead because both revived via TV shows. I guess the same could be said for Mighty Ducks, which is currently getting a reboot of sorts, their continuation. Karate Kid, Cobra Kai has definitely revitalized this thing that nobody,

it's like a bunch of memes and stuff. Yeah. You know what I mean? People forget that there's more than two movies, you know what I mean? And there was a soft reboot in the 90s with hillary swank yeah and a jackie chan jaden smith led movie you were getting see here's the you were when you were saying cobra kai i'm like oh yeah but in part of my brain was like oh yeah but we're talking about franchises that crashed and burned and this one didn't and then i'm like

oh yeah there were more than two and there was a soft reboot with hillary swank oh yeah and there was the jaden smith one oh yeah no you're right actually there was a soft reboot with Hilary Swank. Oh, yeah, and there was the Jaden Smith one. Oh, yeah. No, you're right, actually. This is a really good example, to be honest. And it's a good show. Yeah. It's pretty good.

And The Mighty Ducks has a similar kind of vibe if you've watched any of the new ones. Yeah, it's pretty solid. But what about Evil Dead? Did that tank? It stopped. It stopped, but I maintain Evil Dead 3. So the time travel one.

Is the best one. Okay. I don't know, I haven't seen it. So the first one's like. Cabin in the woods. Yeah, it's like Dirty Cabin in the Woods. The second one is kind of a, it's basically a remake of the first one. And then the second one is just silly horror comedy.

The second one is, do you say? The third one is. The second one's essentially a remake of the first one. And then the second one is just silly horror comedy. The second one is, do you say? The third one is. The second one's essentially a remake of the first one. Just with more money. Evil Dead had a reboot also. Oh, The Evil Dead. Which is pretty good if you've seen it. I haven't seen that one, no.

It's pretty good, man. Okay, right. And it might also be the same universe. It is. It is. The only thing I know about it is that Ash shows up at the end, I think, right? I don't remember.

I think he shows up in a post-credits sequence. Let me check that. Oh, the horror fans listening to this are like, why don't they shut up? I haven't seen the – and there was a game in like 2005, I want to say, an Ash game maybe. Okay. So, yeah, it was a 2013 film.

So with the new series, what did they do exactly? Ash is still. In the post-credits scene, an older Ash is seen shadow profile. He says groovy before turning suddenly to face the camera. You are correct. That is groovy. You should watch that movie. It's good.

Okay. Can I just watch the post-credits on YouTube? No, Mason. Okay, fine. He's brought back into action, baby. Why? It's more like two and three though, right, isn't it? Yeah, it's funny, yeah

Yeah, because I remember 2, the reboot being particularly funny No No, sorry A few people have mentioned, including Matt Hazard Has said Battlestar Galactica Yeah Now that's a reboot of a franchise nobody cared about for decades I would argue Alien Nation is the same

Or the one where everybody's a lizard, V. V. You'd argue both of those. Are bad. Okay, great. And always have been. Sure, okay. What about the Alien Nation movie with James Caan and the guy who played his alien friend?

That's actually one that I fondly remember everybody in that movie and about the movie, everything around it. Wow. Just the absolute mania that followed that movie, do you know what I mean? Yeah. The fandom. You can't get away with it.

That's right. Get away from it to this day. In a way, the whole world became an alien nation because we all loved that movie and later TV series and franchise so much. I agree. The comic book adaptation. Big fan of me in particular.

What else though? What did you say before? I had a really big gun in particular. What else, though? What did you say before? James Caan had a really big gun in that. Did he? Was it an alien gun? No, it was a regular gun. It was really big. Imagine like a Dirty Harry revolver with like a scope on it.

I never know what it was. One of those ones for shooting bears. Wow. Does he use it in the TV show Las Vegas? No. No, he gets bigger men to beat other men up. That's what the show is about. Stay out of our casino.

Yeah. I want to see you get robbed, James Caan. Right? That's what that show should be, just James Caan getting robbed every week. It's Ocean's Eleven in reverse. It's just an overconfident casino boss getting robbed every week. And then every week it's just him pleading with, like, his investors being like, oh, please, no, no,

don't give me the concrete boots. Just fighting insurance fraud charges. You keep getting robbed and we think you're in on it. I'm not in on it. I'm just dumb. But they won't fire me. Good stuff. What about this?

The Aliens films in Prometheus and Alien Covenant are considered successful. I would argue Prometheus, I don't think that movie's very good. Agreed. It's fun though, right? Like it's a movie. Of the two we're thinking of currently, Prometheus and Alien Covenant, I think Alien Covenant is better.

I guess. But. In the sense that it's both alien and aliens in one movie. But they don't like, if you, if you say to her, like a, like a movie fan,

Hey, I remember James Cameron's aliens or even the first one. Yeah. Me to a lesser extent, but a lot of people are like, yeah, those are good and exciting and good acting. And Oh my God,

iconic scenes, iconic lines. What's an iconic thing from Prometheus. So I mean the ship rolling, the ship rolling and then not walking out, running out of the way. Okay. But that's iconic for a different reason.

Yeah, that's what I mean. And it's successful. Like, it did well and it got a sequel and whatever, but yeah. I don't know. Jim says the recent Halloween revival seems to have- Is the Alien franchise revitalised? Who cares? Unconfirmed.

Well, there's a series. That's our first unconfirmed, James. That's true, and there's a series. Yellow Light. Be cautious. Yes, that's right. Either speed up or slow down. Be cautious if you're using what we're saying in your conversations

in your daily life. Correct. If this comes up, if you're forcing this conversation on your friends, which I will do because I've run out of ideas in my life. You hate your friends. Yeah, that's right. I don't say that's confirmed because they will beat you up and chuck you in a bin.

That's right, exactly. And be cautious when pitching this new series, obviously. So Jim Townsend said, the recent Halloween revival seems to have been successful enough to justify a few more sequels. Yeah, so Halloween, that did bottom out hard. And then because I think, was it Busta Rhymes ended up kicking Mike Myers into a burning building or something.

Oh, I forgot about those Halloween movies. Yeah, there was a lot. We've seen Halloween H20 and others. Yeah, and there's one after that. And then did Rob Zombie do the reboot? Yes. And there were maybe two of them? I think there were two of those, yeah.

And then the newest one only follows the first one where they're not related. Michael Myers and Laurie Strode. That's, yes. And that's getting another movie. Halloween Kills, yeah. Is that this year or next year? I think it was supposed to be last year and now it's this year. Now it's this year, yeah. The fuck knows. Unless it gets delayed again, who knows?

Who knows? So yeah, I think that movie's, we mentioned the time, it's like the Force Awakens of Halloween movies where it's just playing the notes. You know what I mean? Yeah. It's pretty good. Yeah.

Yeah. Didn't mind it. Loved the bit at the end where they're like, oh, we're scared. We're not scared. Gotcha. Yeah. Walked into this house full of mannequins. That's right.

Gotcha. Stupid plan. Laurie Strode, you had 40 years. 40 years. Shoot him in the head. Just shoot him in the head. Set up one of those jigsaw style traps with a bunch of shotties. You had 40 years to shoot him in the head. Just shoot him in the head. Set up one of those jigsaw-style traps with a bunch of shotties. You had 40 years to shoot him in the head.

You didn't. Yeah. Wow. Why do you say jigsaw traps, Mason? What might be coming up? Oh, because we're talking about the Saw movies. That's right. For Caravan and Garbage.

We're excited. Not this week, but next year. No, that means I've got to watch another Saw movie this week. Me too. But I'm kind of jazzed for it. Me too. I remember enjoying the first one. Do you think Rob Zombie rocks up when he's directing a movie?

Robert Zombert. Robert Zombert. Do you think he rocks up in like a big flaming hearse? Yes. A big hearse? He does. In the Dragula itself? He'd have to.

Yeah. There's a mystique to that man that he needs to maintain. Big top hat? Big top hat. With bones on it? Maybe it's on fire at the top. Yeah, nice. And he takes it off and he spins it around and he goes,

let's get to work. That's what he does. Let's direct a movie. Let's direct an Air Bud, direct a DVD sequel. Here we go. Are you a fan of Rob Zombie's movies? No. No, but good on him.

It's an aesthetic, right? Yeah, sure. Let me find out what movies he's directed. The Devil's Rejects? Yeah, I've never seen those, yeah. But he is, he did make them. He sure did. What's his real name again?

Robert Zomberg. Robert Bartleth Cummings. Oh. There you go. There you go. How big is he? 178 centimetres. I always thought he was like Undertaker height, you know what I mean?

Yeah, same. It's probably the top hat. Oh, my God. There's this article here that says Rob Zombie is lying about his height. Wow. Did you Google Rob Zombie height? Yeah, because I was just curious to know. He's lying about it.

Yeah, apparently. Does it say it's all in the top hat? I don't know. And the boots. So, yeah, he's in Guardians 2. Is he? And 1. Is he on the robot planet?

I don't know. Okay. So, yeah, I'm just looking at what he's directed. So, yeah, House of a Thousand Corpses I Haven't Seen, Devil's Rejects, Halloween, Halloween 2, some other stuff, Lords of Salem, yeah, there you go, the movie 31. Oh. And Three from Hell, which is, yeah, it's a sequel to, yeah,

it's a sequel to that series. Anyway, a few people have mentioned, including Lachlan, Planet of the Apes franchise. Yeah, I've literally just gotten to that, Mark. Mark on the group has said Planet of the Apes, from incredible first film to various worsening films to a terrible TV series to a terrible Burton film to the best trilogy in modern cinema.

Whoa! Big call. You haven't even seen the first three Jurassic Park movies to say whether that's true or not. It's probably true. Yeah. Wasn't there an animated series in there somewhere? I'm not sure there was like a 70s Star Trek style animated series.

I might be wrong. That might have been something I dreamt about. Yeah. And if you dreamt it, you can make it real, James. Yes. Let me just check that. Yeah, that Burton film is, what's interesting about, yeah, there it was. 75 to 76.

I don't hate that film. No, I think it's interesting. The twist is dumb and Mark Wahlberg's in it. Oh, I forgot about that. But the makeup. Yes. It's spectacular, man. It is, yeah. There's really bold's in it. Oh, I forgot about that. But the makeup. Yes. It's spectacular, man. It is, yeah.

There's some really bold stuff in that. And I even like that they twisted the premise where it's not the original story. It's basically, it's all time travel and stuff, but they accidentally populate an empty planet with primates and then have to deal with that. And Mark Wahlberg goes down and he goes, huh, there's too many monkeys down here. Oh, God, what am I going to do?

That's by Mark Wahlberg. That was really good. Ah. Is that right? It's all wrong. No. No one can tell you your impression is wrong, James. Thanks.

So there you go. What else have you got? A lot of people love that, including Tom Price, loves the She-Ra reboot. I haven't seen that, but I've heard good things. Hang on, Greg's here. Greg, what's up? Hello.

We recorded the ad if that's what you're after. That's exactly what I'm here for, for the HelloFresh. The HelloFresh. There's also a DoorDash one. I already did that. You did it? I sent it off. How do you know?

I sent it off to the DoorDash people. I DoorDashed it off. They're talking in a weird cadence that I don't like. I don't understand it. So we did our vows. Oh. James, will you marry me? No.

You remember our wedding. Yeah, it was great. Well, the non-wedding. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. I'll stop annoying you now. No, we love this. Excellent.

Cool. Bye, Claire. Bye, Claire. Bye. We'll see you on your new podcast soon. Yeah, Claire. Is that a secret or not? No, Claire. Bye, Claire. Bye. We'll see you on your new podcast soon. Yeah, Claire. Is that a secret or not? No, no.

I haven't released it yet, but definitely not. But you won't see me, Mason. You'll hear me. Wow. She's got a great point. Yeah, wow. That's the kind of fast-talking. Just fast-talking hostility that you can expect on Claire's new podcast.

You're not going to like it. Well, thank you, mate. No worries. I appreciate it. See you later. Your wife gave you a full finger gun just then. She was like, I'll see you later. She went full fun on the way out.

Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Oh, thank God she's finally fixed your jukebox. Speaking of, I was about to say, Big Sandwich this week, where it's, what's it called? It's an episode on clickbait again, if you want to sign up or if you're already signed up. Uh, we moved up an episode we did on Falcon and the Winter Soldier, a bunch of clickbait

crap. Oh yeah, that's right. Uh, shuffled some stuff around cause it, you know, why not? Very relevant and infuriating for you. I agree. Yeah. Uh, RF says, I don't think anyone would have predicted Jibunji. Jibunji would have done so well after its revival.

What do you think? Oh, look, I think it is surprising that a sequel was good to that. Yes. Or a sequel did well. Both things. It's good. Yeah, it's good. And I, you know, I think the biggest surprise to me is that it was good

and that people also who, you know, there are people who are massive fans of that old one and, you know, Robin Williams was in it and, you know, there's a lot of great fond memories. The fact that people embraced a new one. Yes. In the spirit in which it was intended. People weren't like, oh, it's all right,

but it's not as good as the one with Robin Williams. What I think is good about the new one as well, and both of them I guess, they're different than the first one. They do away with the board game thing. First of all, they change it to a video game and then it's like pulled into the world of Jumanji. It's like they took something that was hinted at in the first movie and just blew the franchise out to it.

Colin Hanks. Colin Hanks. He's hinted at in the first one. Chet Hayes. Chet Hayes. Who you might know as. White Boy Summer, baby. We're in a White Boy Summer.

Finally. You know what I mean? Wham, wham. Yeah. What a clown. I don't know whether that's performance art. I honestly can't tell. I think it's not.

Hmm. I think it's upset your dad art, what it is. Specifically Tom Hanks, because my dad certainly doesn't no more care about Chet Hayes. No, that's true, yeah. Yeah. I did want to talk about some video game stuff towards the end, but what about Futurama? I guess Family Guy could be said the same because that was cancelled,

but it got, it never, it wasn't. James, that's so far in the past. Because remember Family Guy was cancelled and then it came back, but it was more that it didn't rate well. Yeah, right, uh-huh. And Futurama was cancelled and then it came back but it was more that it didn't rate well. Yeah, right. And Futurama was cancelled, cancelled. And then it came back because of high DVD sales. Yeah, but then it didn't.

Which will never happen again because nobody buys it on DVD anymore. I don't know about Futurama. Yeah, yeah. Also, I think the stuff that they brought back isn't as good as the original stuff. That being said, every now and then I'll just, because it's on Disney+, I'm kind of making, very slowly waking my way through.

Yeah, yeah. It's good. It's still pretty good, yeah. A few people have said Marvel, and we've discussed that at length. That's tricky because of who owns everything and what they've made and who made it because it's not like one attempt by one franchise or studio. Oh, I think people are assuming here I'm saying Marvel the company. Just in general. Just in general.

Yeah, fair. Like a company that's come back not from, you know, not in a decline in quality sense, although there was some stuff in the 90s that is pretty bad, Nick Fury. Yeah. But just coming back from bankruptcy so many times. So many times. You know, the stories of, who was it?

One of, man, I wish I could remember the name. But one of Marvel's kind of like, you know, most celebrated writers. Yeah. His name will come to me in a moment. Who said that when he came in on his first day, they were selling filing cabinets so they could make the rent that day. And whether that story is true or not, yeah, they were. They were nearly bankrupt, more than they weren't until, you know.

They were in serious strife. Serious strife. And now Disney have them. Yes. And will never let them go. That's right. Yeah. What about this one?

In the future, you won't even be able to say Iron Man on the internet. Why not? It'd be hit by a copyright. Oh, my God. It would have been injunction. And Iron Man, an Iron Man robot. Yeah. Yeah. What about this one? In the future, you won't even be able to say Iron Man on the internet. Why not? It'd be hit by a copyright. Oh, my God. It'd have been injunctional. And Iron Man, an Iron Man robot. Yeah. It'd send you out.

It'd punch you in the head. Isaac says, Westworlding memes aside, genuinely Westworld. Wouldn't have thought an old Crichton movie would spawn a major series 40 years later, much less one that was good until season three. I didn't mind season three. I also didn't mind season three. I thought it was a filler. We've discussed this.

Yeah, yeah. We did maybe this time last year. Yeah. But, yeah, there was Future World and then there was a television series. Yeah. And then maybe another TV something, maybe. I don't know. But, yeah, you know, decades ago.

Yep. So that's a big win for a revitalised franchise. Yeah. Interesting times and thoughts. Yeah. Wouldn't you agree? Interesting times and thoughts. I don't know what they're doing with that next one,

as in when it's coming back or when it's set or whatever, but we'll see, won't we? I want it back. Me too. What about this? Go on. Daniel says Twin Peaks, The Return, took 25 years to come back and actually helped make sense of the movie.

Also, dude, The Impossible of Making Jim Belushi Watchable. Oh, got him Jim Belushi according to Jim. Got him. Jim Belushi's having a renaissance as well. That franchise has been revitalised. Has it? What's he up to? I think he's putting up nice videos on Twitter.

Good for Jim Belushi. Being like, hey, I'm a change man kind of thing. Okay, cool. Good on him. According to Jim Belushi. That's right. I've never watched any Twin Peaks because it looks completely impenetrable.

And that is the point. Yes. That is the point of the, like, the original Twin Peaks, because these days. And isn't season two really bad? Well, I watched it in that era where everything was kind of good. So to my mind everything was kind of good. The thing about nowadays when a series comes out that is completely

impenetrable, we as an audience expect it all to be explained to us. There'll be a post-credits that explains it. There'll be a post-credits that explains everything. But the original Twin Peaks was made in an era where David Lynch just did whatever he wanted. Yeah. And there was never any explanation for anything. He's still doing that.

Still doing that. I never watched that Interviews a Monkey thing. I've got to watch that on Netflix. It's like a police interview but it's with a monkey. I have not seen that. Yeah, it's just like a black and white short film on Netflix, allegedly. Yeah, good stuff. So yeah, Twin Peaks, yeah, people love that, don't they, Mason?

Yes. What else? What else have we got? Stephen Kingiverse, Simon says. Yeah, it and Pet Semicer did well. Doctor Sleep. Doctor Sleep's really good. Yeah, okay, fair enough.

Yes. Let's finish up with one really big one, James. Oh, I got one then. Okay. Lost in Space. Yeah. Caleb Nell says, so there was a series and then maybe they got home, I don't care, and then there was a movie, maybe they got home. I don't care. And then there was a movie.

Maybe they got home. They didn't. And it aimed to be like I guess an Independence Day, Star Wars-esque action movie and it's pretty mixed and weird and not very good. And then the new series on Netflix is pretty decent. I stopped watching it. I thought you were kidding because I couldn't remember the series on Netflix.

It's pretty high budget. Oh, Joey from Friends, yeah. Joey from Friends, yeah. I thought you were kidding because I couldn't remember the series on Netflix. It's pretty high budget. Oh, Joey from Friends, yeah. Joey from Friends, yeah. So there you go. And I think they might be doing one more season or they already did it and it's done. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Yeah, there you go.

What about you? What have you got? That was the big strong finish. Oh, well, Luke says Golden Compass, his dark materials. Oh, yes. That's a good one, neither of which I've seen. Okay, great. But, yeah.

That's a big – now that's a big finish. neither of which I've seen. Okay, great. But, yeah. Now that's a big finish. There's more here as well. I've written down for me The Invisible Man, Dark Universe. Oh, big revitalisation. Oh, my God. That revitalisation. I mean, it remains to be seen whether that will revitalise. Yeah, but that one's good.

Oh, yeah, that one's good, yeah. And it made me go, oh, yeah, okay. We'll see. What else you got? What else you doing? That's what we want for a franchise. Oh, yeah, that's all right. What else you got? What else you doing? That's what we want for a franchise. Oh, yeah, that's all right. What else you got?

A lot of people said Godzilla 2014, which, you know, yeah, it's a big franchise now. I've written Scream, the original Scream, but more as a revitalising a genre. Okay, sure. Because it's not, because it's the first in its franchise, obviously. Okay. But then we got, I know what you did last summer,

and everything else happened all the time in those ones. But I've got some video games here I'd like to talk about briefly, if you don't mind. I love to talk about video games. Prince of Persia got a number of sequels and then a 3D reboot, which wasn't good, and then Sands of Time came out, and that's a great trilogy of games. That's also getting a remake at the moment, if you know that.

Tomb Raider. Tomb Raider. Tomb Raider, that's a great reboot. The first one I really liked. The third one I dropped off because it was more like it was gear and I think you had to build a village and paint a shop. I didn't get to the third one because I heard all about that. Yeah, I'm not interested.

Opinion was negative. Just do Uncharted. And also I played the previous two and I'm like, that's about enough of those. I've had just about enough of these. What about Doom and or Wolfenstein? Oh, Doom. Yes.

And? Great reboots. I mean, beyond my capacity to finish at this point, but, you know. People like them. Tremendous. Like they absolutely capture the feel. Not entirely, but they're just high quality. Yeah, Doom.

Like the game mechanics aren't exactly the same. Like you mentioned, there's a lot of being trapped in a room. Yeah, Doom. Like the game mechanics aren't exactly the same. Like you mentioned there's a lot of being trapped in a room. Yes, yes. But like the fast-paced action mania is the same and you've got a shoddy. And you've got a shoddy. A shoddy's a good man. What about this one though?

God of War, the new one, because there were three original games and then they end on a cliffhanger where you supposedly die and crawl away. And there were two PSP titles and I know there was also like some mobile stuff but shut up, shut up. But there was actually another God of War 3 styled PlayStation 3 game called God of War Ascension which was a prequel. I see.

Which nobody remembers or particularly likes. Like it's a solid game but it's like a prequel. I'm Googling it now, James, and there's no results. There's no results. It's like you've made it up in your own brain. Then they changed it to like a third-person semi-open world action family adventure. Yeah, all in the one take.

Yeah, and it's a very good game. I've got that one. I love it. It's good. And it's sort of semi-open world. You've got a big axe. You've got a big axe and you throw it and it comes back to you and it's a good game.

You haven't played it? No, I have played it. No, if you haven't played it. Oh, but I have played it. But if you hadn't, I'm recommending it to you. Thanks, man. Yeah. You always got the good recommendations.

I agree. The stuff I've already played. Anything else in that group or are we done? I think we're done. Great. Terrific. Should we move to the next segment of the show? Oh, yes.

Here we go. I'm doing a thing. I'm doing a thing. segment of the show? Oh, yes. Here we go. I'm doing a thing. We're season four. Mason, what are you reading today? Also, thanks everybody for sending in their suggestions. We appreciate that very much.

Thank you. I really appreciate it. I watched a movie from a few years ago called Coherence. I love how you watch movies. Thank you. It's like a it's one of those no budget sci-fi movies. Oh, like a Primer. Yeah, like a Primer, like a one room situation. And it's about these people at a dinner party and they're having a bit of a dinner party.

And then a comet passes overhead and they're like, oh, here, weird stuff happens when a comet passes overhead. Really? And then it does. This is getting some good write-ups here, mate. What do you think about that? Is that all you need to know going into this? Do I want to know nothing else?

I think you don't want to know nothing else. I'm going to watch this. This sounds really interesting. It's on SBS On Demand if you... Oh, I can also pay for it. I can see on YouTube for $2.99. You can also pay me $100 and I'll find you a DVD copy of it. So I'll send you out in the world to find it.

Yeah, I'll do it. You'll burn me a copy. I know what you'll do. Yeah, copy of it. So I'll send you out in the world to find it. Yeah, I'll do it. You'll burn me a copy. I know what you'll do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Good stuff. All right, cool. Who directed this? James Ward Burkett.

James, if it sweetens the deal, it features Nicholas Brendan from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It does not. In an unspecified role. I don't even know who that is. He's the best friend. Wow. But like the secondary best friend. Willow is the best friend, obviously, of Buffy.

He wrote Rango, the movie Rango. Who did? Nicholas Brandon. Yeah. Did he? People like the movie Rango, I think. What? That's wild. I agree. We laugh and we learn here, James. We've never laughed and we've never learnt. It's also true. Which one's Nicholas Brandon, man? That guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he's got a twin or something?

Yes, twin brothers So they obviously did an episode of Buffy Where they're like, oh, I've been split into two or whatever You know? They always do that Yeah, a few people did say Buffy for reboots as well Ah, yeah Because it was a bad movie, wasn't it?

Yeah, it was pretty bad And then it was another thing Very good James, what are you? Claire's ordering giant wooden boxes off Etsy Did you just get an alert? I just got an alert It's like, your wife's up to something Good. James, what are you? Claire's ordering giant wooden boxes off Etsy. Did you just get an alert? I just got an alert. It's like your wife's up to something.

Oh, you've got the your wife's up to something app. And then you go like, and there's just no button to do anything about it. It's like, I guess, yeah, all right. And there's just one of those rating systems where it's just a series of sad faces and you just pick how sad you are. You're spending your money. I've never been that guy to, like, follow up on purchases or, you know, people who, like, I know you probably know people

who go to, like, their joint account. Oh, yeah, right. What's all this? Which is also, like, it's a budgeting thing, I understand, but, like, I just. I'm just spending my money on. Yeah, I don't care. What have you been watching?

Besides your bloody wife spending all your money. You're not wrong. I'm watching, reading, I haven't even written down the name of the book. Oh, my God. It's called Snow Angels. Okay. So I think it's a Comixology exclusive. It's Jeff Lemire and artist Jock.

Is this new? Yes. I like Jock, the artist. I like both these guys. Oh, yes, It's Jeff Lemire and artist Jock. Is this new? Yes. I like Jock, the artist. I like both these guys. Oh, yes, I like Jeff Lemire. It's in the future, I think, or something. And there's a new Ice Age and the world's covered in ice and everybody lives in a big trench that runs probably

the length of the world. Okay. We don't know. But it's like 40 foot across and everyone lives in a trench and you do your ice fishing in the trench. And if you go out of the trench, don't go out of the trench. Oh. But also. I would have called it don't go out of the trench. But also.

I would have called it don't come out of the big ice trench. Yes, don't. So everyone's just ice skating up and down the trench for fun, right? It's like they're having fun. But the problem is, because it's the apocalypse or whatever, there's like this killer called the snowman that lives in there. And every now and then the snowman would just skate up and kill a bunch of people. And they're like, what is this?

We hate the trench. We can't leave the trench. And there's something that's killing us. Huh. I think it's probably the snowman. Yes. And there's kind of a twist. It's not really a twist, but I won't say what the snowman is exactly,

but it's like. Is it a man made out of snow? Yeah, it's the movie Jack Frost. Whoa. Yeah. All right. I might give this a read. This is, because we've talked in the past about,

quite recently about Maniac of New York, which is another series about just a man randomly showing up and killing people. That's right, exactly. I think it's in the Zeitgeist. It's in the Zeitgeist. Maybe it is. That's right.

But maybe my one isn't a man. Oh. It's a snowman. It's a snowlady. I can't say, Mason. It's not a secret. If you read the first comic, you'll be like, oh, yeah. What if I just keep just staring at you and being like,

what if it's a bloody. I'll just tell you. I'm going to tell you. No, I don't want to know. I don't want to know. It's a bear. Ah! You caught my bluff, but I didn't like it.

It's a bear. I didn't want to know, James. It's a bear who found a Richard Nixon mask from that. Oh, cool. From that. What's that heist movie called? Oh. Patrick Bate Dempsey's. No, the other Oh. Patrick Bates, Dempsey's.

No, the other one. Patrick Keanu Reeves. What percentage? Point break. What percentage would you say you're operating at today, James? 22% Mason. Whoa, that's lower than usual. People have been kicking wires out.

I said to Clay Tate, because we normally record on a Sunday night, and I'm like, I think I might have to record this during the day. Because I do like a full day of like kids at work or whatever that gets to the night and I'm like, oh my God, I just want to lie down. Anyway, I love podcasts. How would you record it during the day if you're looking after your kids during the day?

Well, we're going to have to organize something. Oh. Someone's going to have to kidnap my kids. Yeah. A bear and a Richard Nixon mask to entertain them. It's their favorite president. It's very cool. Yeah.

What else, Mason? Or next segment? Have I been reading anything else? Watching anything else? Oh, my God. My crypto grip's going off, mate. It's been a big dip in the market. Let's go to the next segment real quick.

I agree. It's time for letters. The classic one was letters, oh, letters. Rock and roll. I gave you some letters. They're only a day away. I know they're here right now. We're going to do letters.

You were doing the rock and roll horns. I was not. And then I yelled rock and roll. I think I was just pointing. Oh, were you? Yeah. Anyway, you didn't like that I yelled rock and roll. Well, I thought you were road testing another catchphrase.

Oh, maybe I am. Another of your many failed catchphrases. Not like rock and roll, but it's not. It's not rock and roll at all, is it? Well, this isn't rock and roll at all, but also you'd need a little something extra on the end, something to sweeten the pot. A sting. Yeah, yeah.

Very good. Like somebody yelling rock and roll? So your catchphrase would be you yelling rock and roll, and then another random person adds rock and roll at the end. Yes. Huh. And then it's rock and roll. That would be pretty rock and roll, actually.

What have you got in terms of letters? Oh, let's have a quick bloody look at it. If you don't want to reach this show, hashtag WeeklyPlanetPod on Twitter or WeeklyPlanetPod at gmail.com. Even if you want to shoot through an audio message, we've got one this week, don't we? We do.

It's true. Do you want to do that one first? Yeah, let's do it. Let's knock it out. Let's knock it out. Let's get this over with. Am I right? It's a good one.

We listened to it, didn't we? Some of it. I love all the accents a good one. We listened to it, didn't we? Some of it. I love all the accents. Me too. I've lost it. Email in if you don't have anything interesting to say but you have a great accent. That'd be awesome.

We won't play it. No, no, no. Also, Australians don't count because we obviously don't have an accent. We don't have an accent, yeah. Some people in Australia have accents, like people from Adelaide. Yeah, there's a bunch of people. And people from like the bloody... Northern Western Australia.

Yeah, Northern Western Australia. But Melbournians don't. We've never had an accent. Not down here in Melbourne. Nope. All right, here we go. Here we go. This is from Tristan.

Oh, hello, Tristan. Hey, James and Mason. This is Tristan Glover from Tennessee. We hear you guys bring up the Planet Broadcasting Great Mates group every now and again, and I was wondering if either of you hang out in any of these subgroups. For example, you have the Movie Group, the Gaming Group, the Wholesome Group, Wrestlemania for the wrestling fans in the Great Mates group, and there's, of course, the YouTube Mates group.

This is Great Mates who have YouTube channels like Skylar Magic, Jack Fitzpatrick from Let's Crash This Parade, Eric McGill from The Unapologetic Geek, many more, including myself over at Martial Arts Film Freak. This is in no way just a plug for a bunch of great mates with YouTube channels, Martial Arts Film Freak over on YouTube. Thank you guys so

much for the show. Grab that gem. Martial Arts Film Freak on YouTube. Nice work. That's very good stuff. I know Tristan Glover from the group. Yeah. Formerly of the group. Formally, yeah. We're blocking him for that. Reported to YouTube.

Yeah, that's right. Yeah. I am in a couple. You love Pokemon. You're in the Pokemon group. That's right. You're in the Digimon group. They're rival groups.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm in the Healthy Mates group. You're in the Made Marian Appreciation Society. Only because you invited me and I came in as a favour to you to make you look less weird it was support it was support thanks man but actually that was an intervention for you i didn't actually i invited you in but then we were going to be like hey man come on we all we all love made marion and by that i mean only you like i'm sorry no you shouldn't stop there no but i wouldn't because then you wouldn't get the full meaning of what I was saying, which is we all love old cartoon crap, but you love Made Marian specifically.

It's interesting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You think that about yourself. What are you in? I'm just in the regular group. Are you? Yeah. Okay.

I like the Healthy Mates group because it's very supportive. If you're trying to get fit or you are fit and you want to get less more advice or give other people advice, it's a really positive group and people post like processes of like if they've done a deadlift or they've done a run or they've started running or whatever, it's really cool. Or they've given someone a dead leg. They've given someone a big old dead leg and they went,

look at this. Keep giving them a leg and they're like, ah! Yeah, it's really cool. And it's like it's a variety of people of ages and fitness levels and people who have had kids or having kids or starting to get fit or like people who seem like professional bodybuilders. It's really good and really positive. That's cool, man.

Yeah. And like Levens is in there as well. Or Kick Him Out. Yeah, he's blocked, man. Yeah, he's blocked. Good, good, good. I'm not an admin, so I have no control. But it's really good. It's really positive. Yeah. I's blocked banned obviously. Yeah, he's blocked. Good, good, good. I'm not an admin so I have no control. But it's really good.

It's really positive. Yeah. I'm loving all the subgroups. I'm not into them but I love that they exist. Yeah, me too. They're cool. Cool. I didn't know about the YouTube one though so that's cool as well.

So yeah, if you've got one maybe join up or any of these. Yeah, or if you just want to see some interesting videos because you know Scylla Magic. I do, yeah. Because he taught you how to do magic. The Tom Cruise magic trick but I'll never tell how. He told me. He told me via a video, but I'll never tell you what it is.

Magic? Yes, that's what it is. He said get in touch with some dark powers. Yeah. Get a little, just a little bit of magic, you know? But not too much like Tom Cruise did. Yeah, that's right. Just a fraction. Just flirt the line, he said. Yeah. What have you got though? This is from Capo.

Oh, that's right. You've got a lot of dream emails. I've got a couple of dream emails because you said last call for dream emails this week. I think I said no dream emails. And I said bring them on. Yeah. I'm just hoping for one with you and mate Marion the fox.

That's what I think is going on here. Wow. Yeah. For me it would be a nightmare. I was reading this, so I didn't entirely get the gist of what you were saying then, but what I'm saying to you is, nah, you. It's you.

Whatever you said, that's you. You're the one who loves dreams so much. Anyway, go on with your dreams. Hey, James and Mason, since last week you made the final call for all dream-related stories, I thought I'd share my experience of you guys invading my dreams. I had this dream back around July 2018 and didn't see a point of telling you guys

since it isn't very long or interesting. I was trapped in a hotel slash cabin lobby of sorts with James, Claire and Mason. There was nobody else around and I think something was trying to get in. Claire was incredibly sleepy slash tired and wouldn't stop laying down on a big couch. James was losing his mind trying to climb

into any vents he could see to find an exit. All the while, Maceo seemed unfazed and was trying to sell me Harry's razors. Thanks for the podcast, lads. Hope you guys are doing well. That wasn't a dream. That was real. That was real.

That was real. So we've got room for one more dream email. Yeah, yeah. Okay, fair enough. What do we got? Let's see. I actually like that one. This is from Kevin.

He says, I had a dream that James and Mace had begrudgingly held a contest where they would fly out the winning fan for a month to hang out with them. That's interesting because we were at one point off. We nearly did a thing. We nearly did a thing. We were like a month out. A travel company, side note, contacted us and they were like, hey, you should do a thing.

Like we will pay for your flights for you to go to a location with a group of listeners and hang out for a bit, like just see some sights and stuff. And they had to pay I think was the thing. Oh, yeah, right, right, right. Or maybe one didn't. I can't remember. I'm like that sounds cool. Maybe we'll finally travel with this thing and then the thing happened.

It was very close to happening. And it was literally like pick somewhere in the world. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think we were going to do like New Zealand because it wasn't that far for us. Yeah. Yeah. I won and arrived at what seemed like an apocalyptic scene.

I'm unsure of why my dream mind thinks Australia looks like tents, mortar craters, barrel fires and crashed airplanes. James had the general attitude of I want to make this a good experience for you but I really don't want to be here. That seems accurate. Yeah, that's my line. Mace has spent most of his time sighing loudly and reading from his cell phone.

I was upset but not angry because I understood that it really would suck to be stuck in James' living room for a whole month, unable to leave for any reason, on what seemed to be an old-fashioned sleepover. That's pretty accurate. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Your dream has captured our energies. I seem to remember that our snacks were finite

and we would soon run out of food. I don't think we made it past a day before I awoke, but I remember earning James' respect by the end of our day's ordeal and even getting a chuckle out of Maiso. I awoke knowing I would never get this opportunity to gain James' respect and friendship like in this dream, but I'm happy

to know that me and Maiso are really tight. That's true. We hang out all the time like I do with all listeners, so that's cool. Excellent. Well, you've earned to dream me's respect, which is the manifestation of me in your mind when you're asleep. You guys are a big fan of your work. Yeah. That's cool. That's right.

Can I be the official weekly planet Highland Bank piper, please? I promise it won't sound bad. No, we want it to sound bad. That's the point. You can just be off your game. Like stop practicing for a few weeks. Yeah, please, if you could. We wouldn't mind.

What else, Mason? Okay, I've got one more. Let's do it. This is from Tobias. He says, hey, boys, I recently started to listen to an audio book on Spotify, but I was struggling to get into it. The story had a very cold open and seemed needlessly complicated with lots of unexplained characters and events happening right at the beginning.

I was getting annoyed by the author who probably thought they were being clever by making it so confusing, but it turned out I had accidentally started listening to the book on shuffle. I was hearing random out-of-sequence clips and didn't realise. Oops. I've done that. I didn't even know you could do that. Why would that even be an option in an audio book?

I did it with a comic book series once as well. Oh. Why would they have that option? Who wants to read a comic book series on shuffle? Well, I read Grant Morrison's The Invisibles, the final series of which starts at 12 and goes to 1.

Right. And I read it from 1 to 12. Did it make sense? No. But it didn't really make sense in the other way either. Oh, good. Yeah.

Well, as long as you weren't having a good time either way. Yeah. That's the whole reason I read that. I read that out. Why would that be an option? Again, that shouldn't be an option

to scramble an audiobook. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's ridiculous. It is. Yeah. I've got a tweet here. Well, you know what it should do? What?

Chapter by chapter, it should split the last word into two. So then you know. Then you know. Okay, right? That's probably a good idea, yeah. And it's a swear word. It's always a swear word in the middle. Oh, my God.

But always a different one. So you get the gist of the book and you learn a new swear word every time. That's pretty good. Right? JohnJScript42 says, hashtag weeklyplanetpod, I have a possibly difficult question for James. What is the best animated movie, Lion King or Spider-Verse? Spider-Verse.

I like Spider-Verse more, but maybe because also it's newer. The same goes for Mason, but The Incredibles instead of Lion King. Incredible Spider-Verse. Oh, King. Incredible Spider-Verse. Oh, no, still Spider-Verse. Yeah, great.

But that might change. Give it 10 years and you look back and you go, eh, maybe not. Sure. But at the moment,

I agree. Not so difficult. And Alec just says, hashtag week of Anapod, I signed up to Twitter after finishing this week's episode just to ask James if he's okay.

I'm alright. Okay, cool. I'm alright. That wasn't hugely convincing. I'm alright. I don't know. What do you want from'm all right. That wasn't hugely convincing. I'm all right. I don't know. What do you want from me?

Do you want the highs or the lows, do you? Mostly the highs, I think. And I'm fucking great, all right? That's terrific. That's good, man. That's really good. I'm glad for you. That's the joke of this week.

I'm glad. Folks, everyone, that's confirmation. He's doing great. It's unrelated also. I went to the doctor and they said it's weird that you cannot interpret tone at all. That's great news for me actually. That would be difficult for a touch tone phone. There's a joke for you.

I'm the joke telling one. I honestly thought you were going to say I'm the joker. I'm the joker now. There's your catchphrase. There it is. I'm the joker now. You it is I'm the Joker now You know the I'm the Joker baby guy

Yeah I love that Anyway Everybody does Anyway Wrap up the show Mason Folks thank you so much for listening If indeed

Any of you have made it To the end of this episode Hope you're all doing alright I hope you're doing as well As James is doing He's great As he just Just illustrated right there

Got two right here. Oh. Some Aquarius Games who says, The only good podcast. This podcast brightens my morning walks. Also, the sound of these two loud Australians manning is very comforting to me. It's the only thing that helps me sleep aside from drugs and the touch of someone who loves me. I've listened to a lot of podcasts since 2014.

This is the only one I've heard every episode from and kept up for longer than a month or two. Oh, plus I like to learn about hot, hot news and stuff. Five stars. Thank you very much. And there's this one that says, Red Hot Review. Been listening to the pod for years now. You guys help me get through the day. I should probably leave something witty for James or Beardy to read,

so I'll leave it up to them to come up with something from Austin. James, here you are. You're the funny guy. I'm the joker now. I'm the joker. Oh, that's just good on its own. That's really good. Yeah, yeah, yeah are you? You're the funny guy. I'm the joker now. I'm the joker. Oh, that's just good on its own. That's really good. Oh, my God.

See? Feels good to do a joke, doesn't it? It's not a joke, Mason. Whoa. That's the twist of the joker. That's good, yeah. Okay, what else? Folks, thank you, everybody, for listening.

T-shirts feature the name James Bond and MGM doesn't like that and takes the T-shirts away. Oh, really? Apparently. Which ones got taken away? The one that says there's not enough time for James Bond to die. Oh, but the other one stayed up? The other one stays up.

Okay. Yeah. Well, good. Yeah, I agree. Boo. So if you got one of those, that's a limited edition, baby. That's right. It's worth a million dollars.

Yeah. Oh, my God. I mean, they're currently in a legal dispute on YouTube, yeah. I mean, we knew that was going to happen. It was going to happen eventually, yeah. But it's annoying because it kills the algorithm on it. That's the most annoying thing. Yeah, right, right.

But, I mean, you know, I imagine we're in the same boat as everybody because putting that theme in is irresistible. You cannot. You cannot not. I do have to message Ben and say don't put it in this one coming up. Sure. Because he probably would because it's great. Because it's a banger. Yeah. You cannot not. I do have to message Ben and say don't put it in this one. I'm coming up. Sure. Yeah. Because he probably would because it's great.

Because it's a banger. Yeah. You know what I mean. I don't like it. Anyway, let's leave. Okay, let's leave, folks. Grab that jam, you guys. We'll see you next week.
