ExpressVPN. It's too easy. In a good way. Yeah, in a good way. That's nice. Red hot comic book movie news. Shooting up your butt hole. The Weekly Planet.

The Weekly Planet. Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of The Weekly Planet, where we talk movies and comics and TV shows. My name is James, also known as Mr. Sunday, and with me as always is my co-host, Nick Mason-Mason. It is one of the great pleasures to do a podcast. Isn't it just? It's just... Didn't Oscar Wilde say that?

He did. It's one of the great pleasures to do a podcast. One of life's sweet retreats. Sweet retweets? I think I said retweets. But I meant to say retreat. It's the sport of kings doing a podcast. If you haven't done a podcast, get out there, do a podcast.

Give it a go. People are always like, oh, I think there's enough podcasts actually. But it's like, imagine if somebody was like, hey, I'm thinking about learning to play guitar. And you're like, oh, actually there are people who already play guitar. And you're like, oh, actually, there are people who already play guitar. Have you ever heard of The Edge from U2? I have now. He's actually very famous for playing at the car.

He's very rich. So why would you even bother? I don't know, because it's fun, I guess. Yeah, there was this thing I remember. There was an ad specifically in Australia, which was like a comedy bit of celebrities telling normal people not to start a podcast at the start of the pandemic. And I know it was a joke, but it's also like, maybe there's too many celebrities making podcasts.

Maybe there's too many celebrities. Let's knock off a few celebrities. That's a good point. Off their perch, not to death. Who do we start with? Guitar players, obviously. Yeah, The Edge. The Edge is going to cop it first.

The Edge is going to be pushed off that edge. I hope so. To his death. Just kidding. I hope he's all right. He probably makes okay music still. That's great. Yeah, good on him. Speaking of podcasts though, we guested on

a few podcasts this week. So many. Normally we like to spread these out so it doesn't happen all the time. But everybody's on lockdown so everybody's making calls and sending texts and being like hey, you busy? And I'm like well, technically no. Well, I actually did these, I did two before lockdown. One was Moments of Clarity with my friend Matt where we basically talk

about YouTube and podcasts and how I got started and life stuff and having kids and whether you should have kids and how the world's going to end. Great. I had a really good time. So that's linked below. And in addition to that, I was on Confessions of the Idiots again. Terrific.

With Sam Peterson, which is another great podcast, that one with Jess Perkins where they read confessions and then we make fun of those people. Were you on with Jess Perkins last time? I was on Confessions of the Idiots again. Terrific. Sam Peterson, which is another great podcast, that one with Jess Perkins where they read confessions and then we make fun of those people. Were you on with Jess Perkins last time? I was, yeah. We doubled up. We doubled up. The dream team's back together.

That's exactly right. So, yeah, those will be linked below, Moments of Clarity, Confessions of Idiots. Both are really fun and both are really different. Maybe I'll mention them again next week because I don't like to spruik too many podcasts at once. So you'll spruik the same podcasts again next week. Okay, terrific.

Well, I was on a friend of the show, Steel Saunders' podcast, but not his podcast about Star Wars because, as we know, don't know anything about Star Wars. Oh, you went on his podcast about Green Guide Letters. No, he doesn't do that anymore, but I think he might be bringing it back. No, I did know that. He has many podcasts. He has many businesses.

He's all about the place. He has many live streams. Many streams. Yeah. But I was on his new podcast, Manchester Lane Radio, where we talked about Melbourne. We talked about trams. We talked about just podcasts.

We also talked about the origin of our podcast. And so it'll be fun to listen to both and see if they match up in any way. See if they line up. Interesting. Because I feel like the origin of our podcast, in my mind, has drifted over the years to how it actually started. Yeah. I mean, you know, obviously we started as the Sport of Kings, right?

Yes, that's right. We were lounging in like wicker chairs in a country house. We were like, we should start a podcast. We're very well to do. That's right. But what if we did a podcast? That's right. Yeah, so I think those stories probably match up.

Yeah, but I would check out all those podcasts. Definitely. And let's give you a rundown of what's going to happen this week, Mason. Get ready. First of all, we'll talk a little about Loki, which starts this week. There's time codes for all of this. Shazam's got a little teaser. We've got an early look of the Batman in Flash.

Some Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles news. The Reminiscence trailer. I did see that. I'm excited for you to explain what happened in that trailer. Me too. I'm excited to figure it out on the fly. Great. Mission Impossible 7 news, Thor Love and Thunder news,

some dates for What If, the What If series. Right. Jupiter's Legacy is no longer going to be doing any of that anymore. But there's a spin-off of sorts. Yes. Of sorts. Which we'll get into. And then Sweet Tooth as well, which just hit Netflix,

which we're going to talk about. We're going to do a somewhat deep dive. Somewhat. That's right, because you've seen some of it and I've seen all of it. So together we've seen a decent amount. We've seen one and a half Sweet Tooths. That's right. So we're the foremost experts on this, I think.

I agree. So just off the top, our Loki reviews are going to start this week. They go up early, the audio edition of BigSandwich.co. We might be getting a screener, so we're going to try and do a spoiler-free review if we get that. I think, and I wanted to do this while we were doing WandaVision or Falcon and the Winter Soldier. I would have liked to get it early enough so that the great Rob Collings

could put together a video recapping an episode as the episode is going live on Disney+. Ah, yeah. Or even slightly ahead of time. That'd be terrific. The problem with the version we get is it's got my fucking name across it. Yeah. So we can't use it in any of the editing.

That's true, yeah. Yeah, but that's, I don't like that. Yeah. But what do you do? Yeah. Anyway, they're starting this week, which is good, I think. We could just put a black bar through the middle of the video. That's true.

That would work. The bar could say, deal with it. You just got to deal with it. Yeah. Maybe you could say, you just got to deal with it. It's a little bit nicer. Yeah, nice. You just got to deal with this black bar.

Oh, we could Photoshop it like that little pair of pixel sunglasses. Oh, yeah, very good. You just got to deal with it. You're just going to have to deal with this one. Did you see the teaser for Shazam, the little teaser? No, I only saw set photos of Shazam's new costume. Oh, yeah, the new suit. What do you think?

Looks pretty similar, doesn't it? Lower neckline? I think it's like a little bit tighter. Like it's kind of bloaty. Maybe it's because Zachary Levi is a bit more bloaty. Maybe he is. No, I think it's more like the first one was kind of marshmallow-y. Oh, because it was sort of more comical and silly.

And this one's a little bit different in that sense. Yeah. But I like them both and they're supposed to be ridiculous. Like it's a ridiculous costume. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, like he's supposed to be like an idealised version of either, like sometimes he's missing dad, but it's like it's an exaggeration

of the existing superheroes in the world. So if Superman is big, Shazam is huge. Yeah, exactly. And Black Adam is even huger. He's even hugerer. So I guess if people are wondering if the Snyderverse will continue, it will because Shazam is probably set in that universe maybe, isn't it? Yeah, definitely, certainly, probably.

That's really exciting. Maybe it is. I don't really know. The little teaser was like you see Shazam and he's silhouetted in the dark and he's like, why is it so dark? Why is it so dark in here? It's a funny teaser. Because movies sometimes are.

I liked how funny it was. I didn't see it. Yeah, it's very short. Unless you've made it funnier than it was. I probably did. I probably did in the retelling of that. You're going to have to deal with that as well. I'll go and I'll check the teaser on YouTube later

and it'll have like 200,000 thumbs down. People are like, this isn't funny, boo. Did you see, this went out over the weekend, an early look at Batman. I was going to say the Batman. There's different versions of Batman. There's Batman. There's the Dark Knight.

Yes. There's the 60s Batman. That's right. There's Batfleck. There's Lego Batman. There's the Dark Knight, there's the 60s Batman, there's Batfleck, there's Lego Batman, there's others animated and such, but this is Batman 89, which is just Batman? No, he's Batman 89. Okay, cool. Criminals around Gotham City are like, look, it's Batman 89.

Is he 89 years old? No, that would be ridiculous. He's a middle-aged man. He's stuck in the late 80s. Look at the mullet that's coming out of that cowl. Batman 89. I'm loving that. Yeah.

But anyway, we got a look at the bat symbol. We did, yeah. From that Keaton costume because he's going to be, of course, appearing in The Flash as his original version. So specifically for people who haven't seen it, it's the yellow oval bat symbol because, you know, modern-day versions are like, yellow on a bat suit? We think not.

They fixed it, though, because the shape in the original is different. It's got a little extra. It's got some extra little things by the bat tail. Yeah, I like it. And also it's got a little bit of blood on it. It's interesting that one of the first things we see from this, the Flash movie, is Batman. Don't you think?

Yeah. I mean, they know who they're marketing to. Yeah, they really do. Yeah. So what do you think? What do you think it is? What do you think? I mean, it could be the –

It could be nothing. It could be nothing, certainly, yes. It could just be Flash reading flash reading a batman comic book yeah totally his regular universe i mean it could be the thomas wayne batman meaning the the flash point batman which is the universe where bruce wayne was killed instead of thomas wayne and so thomas wayne became a more violent batman yep which and and his his suit has like the yellow oval bat but it's got a red yeah sort of addition to it, so maybe that's what this is. Sure.

Or it could be nothing. I think it's definitely Keaton, and I think they're doing the reverse Flash fights Batman scene. Even though that's from a Watchmen prequel comic, I don't want Watchmen movies anymore, please. We could just stop with all of that. Because I didn't love that comic. I don't want Watchmen movies anymore, please. Sure. If we could just stop with all of that. Because I didn't love that comic.

I don't know if you did. The Doomsday Club. Yeah. I do need to read it again, to be fair. Yeah, look, I, you know, after it eventually all came out over two years or however long it took, I did read the whole thing, and I think it should have just been a standalone Watchmen sequel.

I think it would have worked better like that. I enjoyed the new characters they introduced. I enjoyed the new status quo of that world, because the original ended on a cliffhanger, and it's like, what's it going to be like a decade later or more? And I liked that it went in a different direction from the TV series. I liked that we had two potential futures of that universe, and also because it was obviously a means to explain something

that was happening in another continuity. All this stuff that happened in the DC universe over the last 10 years, it was the result of this. I don't need to, like, I would have preferred it to be a standalone, but it wasn't. Yeah, and it also sort of is because it might be different. Oh, it might not even be the real, it might be a different DC universe, I guess.

I don't know. But then all the universes come back at the end or something. Too much, too much information. Or they're gone again. I don't know where we're at. Yeah. But, no, I think the Flashpoint Batman, the Thomas Wayne is going to be the Keaton version.

That's what I think they're doing. So it'll be Bruce Wayne? Yeah, I think so. I don't know. But I think that's what it's going to be. Yeah. Because they know how to market a Flash film for Batman. I mean, it might be multiple Batman.

It could be. Totally. There might be. I would love that. Yeah. I think it's going to get to a point where I'm like, I would love that. Multiple Spider-Man, multiple Batman.

It's going to get to a point where I go, I hate this. Stop doing it. Sure, yeah. And they won't. And they won't. It'll keep going. Have you seen that meme floating around recently? It's that Brooklyn Nine-Nine meme.

Which one? Where Jake Peralta, he's leaning into the car. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I have seen that. And he's like, I love the DC comic book lineup. And Zooey Deschanel's like, do you name half of the comics they publish? And he's like, Batman. He's like, oh, yeah.

I am too low with that. Yeah. There's a lot of Batman. That is good. Isn't that starting again soon? Last season? Brooklyn Nine-Nine? Maybe, yeah. I think, oh, yeah. I am too low with that. Yeah. There's a lot of Batman. That is good. Isn't that starting again soon? Last season? I don't know. Maybe, yeah.

I think it is, yeah. Because I know they retooled the entire thing because of events in the real world. Events in the real world. Hate to get political. Sure. But events happen in the real world. Events happen in the real world. Sorry, everyone.

Yeah, we didn't do it, but, you know, maybe we could all try a little better. James, I did a little bit of it. No, you shouldn't have done it. No, I did it. Oh, no. Seth Rogen came out, and shouldn't have done it. No, I did it. Oh, no. Seth Rogen came out and he was like, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, his version, animated, is coming out August 11th of 2023.

Okay, cool. So I think he was a fan because we're about the same age as him, I think. So he would have been a fan as a kid and he's bringing it back. He's probably younger and more successful. I think he is younger and more successful. Right, terrific. It's interesting that he would take that approach. And we're doing this approach. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't you think that's interesting it back. He's probably younger and more successful. I think he is younger and more successful. Right, terrific. It's interesting that he would take that approach. And we're doing this approach.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't you think that's interesting? Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. That's more Beavis and Butthead, but. Yeah, whatever. A lot of people, we get comments every now and then,

it's like, do you guys smoke weed? Do you want to smoke weed? You know, you'd be so much funnier if you smoked weed. But it's like, can't wait till you get weed is legalized here. It's not legalized, but you can get it. It's literally everywhere. Sometimes you just get an email that says weed. Yeah.

I'm walking around. I'm smelling it all the time, mate. Anyway, that's not relevant. We got an email this week and it was like, was Claire drunk on the last episode? Yes. Yes. Yes. No.

No, she was baby exhausted. Yeah, exactly. That's right. She's at 40%. That's right. So combined, you guys are at 80%, which is not enough. Not enough to raise two kids. Definitely not.

Yeah, she gets giddy and I get dour. That's what happens when we get tired. And your children rise up and become the heads of the household. That's right. So we've got a trailer this week for Reminiscence, a.k.a. Hugh Jackman thinks about his memories somewhat. Oh, that's great. Do you ever think about your memories?

Somewhat. Yeah. So this is actually director Lisa Joy. Jonathan Nolan is her husband. They work together on Westworld. Jonathan Nolan is, of course, the brother of Christopher Nolan. And they work on scripts together. That's right.

For various things, including probably Memento. Name three scripts they've worked on together. Memento, probably. Inception, probably. You could have just said the Dark Knight trilogy. Oh, okay. Because that would also be like that meme. Or the original one?

I can't remember. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Because it looks like Inception, right? Not exactly, but it's got that feel, right? It's got that feel, yeah. There's a lot of water rushing up on buildings. Yeah, but it's real.

The water's real in this one, isn't it? Because the world is, there's too much water now. Okay, so what happens? In the future. There's too much water. So it's a future in which there's too much water. And people are like, damn, I wish I could reminisce to a past when there wasn't as much water.

But some. Some water. You don't want none. I don't want to be thinking about my memories in the past and I'm all parched. I don't want to be parched in the past. No. Reminisce to parched in the past.

So I want to think of a little bit of water, but then I'm, Hugh Jackman, can you put these electrodes on my head so I can reminisce about the past? Yes. And he's like, okay. But I can reminisce about the past? Yes. And he's like, okay. But I have to sit in a bath. Yes. That's part of it.

But sometimes Hugh Jackman reminisces about the past, but that's dangerous, but he's doing it anyway for some reason. He's done it too much maybe. Yeah, maybe he's done it too much. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe his wife's in the computer. Yeah. You know?

She's dead or not dead. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know. But, I mean, Inception, the wife was dead, if. Yeah. You know? She's dead or not dead. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know. But, I mean, Inception, the wife was dead, if you recall. Spoiler alert. Or maybe she wasn't, according to some fan theories. Like she was trying to get him out. Oh, yeah, okay, yeah.

And he's in her dreams still, but he doesn't know. I don't think that's what that movie is, but that's a theory. Do you think maybe she's in this movie and she's trying to get Hugh Jackman out? Maybe she is. Maybe it's true in this movie and she's trying to get Hugh Jackman out? Maybe she is. Maybe it's true in this movie but not in the previous one. Maybe she gave up on DiCaprio and just went, fuck it, leave him. I'm just going to go. I'll get someone else out.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. This guy's sleeping on a bench with electrodes on his head. Close enough. This will do. Does it feel like it could be set in the Inception universe? Ooh. I don't think it is. No, I don't think that.

It's probably some sort of complicated web of ownership where like, you know how a husband can't testify against their wife. Is that true? Apparently. Is that actually true though? Probably not. Yeah. But maybe it's a thing where like you can't use your husband's brother's IP

in a movie. To testify against your wife. You're not allowed. That's right. Yeah. I think if this wasn't Hugh Jackman, then I'd probably, and, you know, it wasn't these people involved, I'd be like weird Inception knockoff.

But it looks genuinely interesting to me. Yeah. I mean, it does look, whenever I see an Inception knockoff, I'm like it's an Inception knockoff and it looks really cheap. Yes, that's what I'm saying, yeah. But this does look very, very expensive. Yes, that's what I mean. There's a lot of, I mean, they even kind of did, not kind of,

they did flatlines again. I bet they went like Inception, but whatever. The last time there was a Nolan-esque spinoff was Johnny Depp was an AI or something. Inception Sleepover Camp. That's what you're thinking of. What the fuck's it called? Do you know the one I'm talking about?

Nope. It was called like it was about like the singularity or something and Johnny Depp got cancer and then they put him in a computer. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. How was that a spinoff? No, it wasn't, but it was the guy behind. One of the dudes that brought you. The cinematographer of like Inception.

Right, right. One of those bros from Inception. Yeah. All those dudes. Wally Pfister. I was going to say that, but I couldn't remember his name. He made it. Yeah.

Okay. Yeah. I remember that. I remember the trailer and the poster and thinking maybe when that's on streaming, I'll watch it. Transcendence. Transcendence. There we go.

Johnny Depp thinks about whether he's an AI or not. He is. Or he's not. At the end he's proven, that doesn't matter. I thought it was okay. A lot of people hate it. I'm like, I'd heard it was really terrible and I watched it and I'm like, it's not that bad.

It's all right. It kind of should look better considering who's directing it. Anyway. But here's the thing, though. If the cinematographer's doing the directing, who's he going to get? Not him. A worse cinematographer.

That's right. It's like if you go to a barber. They have a bad haircut. They're the best barber. That's right. If they have a good haircut. The other guy's the best barber. That's right.

That's right. Just maybe just shop around a bit. Oh, yeah. Maybe check Yelp. You don't want to go in and be like, oh, so he's got a good hair. But does he cut his hair? Because if there's more than two barbers, you're like,

who's cutting whose hair? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And, of course, they all have a sign out the front that says, one of the barbers lies and one always tells the truth. And you're like, oh, that's the second layer. Oh, no. You guys are like, do you want a brew? I don't want a brew.

I want a brew. It's 11 a.m. I have a Cooper's man. I have a Cooper's red man. You don't go and get your hair cut at a barber. I don't want to brew. It's 11am. I don't want to brew. Have a Cooper's, man. Have a Cooper's Red, man. You don't go and get your hair cut at a bar. No, I do really not. Would you accept a Cooper's, though? No, I don't even drink beer.

Yeah, exactly. I would have a cider, but they wouldn't have a cider. Or maybe they'd give me a cider and a side-eye. They'd be like, really? You know we have to go up the street to get this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You want this warm cider? Yeah, I want it.

Yeah, go get it. Here we go. Mission Impossible 7 news. Update. Furious Mission Impossible 7 news. Seems that way. Mission Impossible. Speaking of furious, Caravan of Garbage this week,

we're kicking off Fast and Furious, aren't we? That's right. Oh, my God. We've got a lot of stuff to say about these movies, let me tell you. You better believe we do, especially the second one at this point because we had a very unique experience, didn't we? It's true, it is. Which we'll talk about.

Anyway, Mission Impossible 7, we have temporarily halted production on Mission Impossible 7 until June 14th due to positive coronavirus test results during routine testing. More than one. Seems that way. A bunch. They had a phone party.

They may have. We are following all safety protocols and we'll continue to monitor the situation. Depending on how this happened, Tom Cruise, I'd imagine, would be furious or very understanding. I don't know. I saw that he was furious, but maybe that's just the tabloids. Yeah.

And also, you know what? He's probably, I reckon two things. I reckon he's doubly furious. One, because of the COVID thing. And two, because he got all his fury out last time on a much smaller incident. Where do you go from there? You can't go up.

Maybe you can, though. I mean, this stuff, this thing, I mean, because we're currently in a lockdown again, it just gets out. Like it's just one person passes another person and you can just get it. Or you don't sometimes. Sometimes you do. Yeah, so we don't really know what happened.

So what we're saying, chill out, Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise, what's in your life? God, go fly a plane, idiot. Do you reckon he sleeps on a moving treadmill like he runs sleeps? Oh, maybe, yeah, like a horse. Like a horse, yeah. Like a noble steed. I don't know.

No, but I wouldn't put it past him to occasionally sleep in those leg manacles and you just swing from a doorframe. Yeah, okay. Do you reckon he's doing that leg stretching? He's had that leg extension surgery? No, I don't think so, no. Do you reckon because it could mess up his running? Exactly, yeah.

For those people who don't know, there's a surgery you can get where they put... I feel we've talked about it. I think it's fascinating that people would do this, though. It's got like a medieval torch device built into it. Yeah, they put metal rods in your shins and they slowly twist them over months. So they break. Yeah, and it gives you like a couple inches of height, maybe?

Maybe. Yeah. But then you've just got long shins. Right? It doesn't make any- Yeah. It's weird. Or you can go-

I'm going to do it. Or you can go to the mall and give them a pair of your pants and be like, can you make these slightly shorter? And they go, yeah. Yep. They'll be ready tomorrow. We're going to have to break your shins though. Oh, no. Your money's no good here.

We only take broken limbs. That's right. So that's, you know, it's still going to come out mid-next year or whatever, so or early. They seem very committed to finishing this. Yeah, that's right. If there's been two scares in their life, now let's keep going. Well, they were going to do back-to-back initially.

They were going to film back-to-back. Oh, seven and eight. Yeah, which they didn't end up doing. Do you think they might be doing it for the next Fast movies? I don't know, I can't remember. Ten and eleven. Yes. They're doing like Infinity War Endgame scenario style.

That's why they've compared it. Now, this is a bit of a spoiler, not a spoiler. We do our podcast, obviously, James and Mace has Time Crap Fuel. What up, dogs? Each episode we cover a different year in pop culture. We're going to eventually determine which is the best year in pop culture and all the rest are going to be removed from the timeline. But we learned recently that the movie from the 50s,

The Fast and the Furious, which has the name, you know, the name of which was taken for the Fast saga. Starga. Roger Corman was in it. Yes. So put him in 10 and 11. Because, you know, there's always somebody coming back. Yeah, there's always someone alive.

There's always somebody coming back. So like infamous B-movie schlock director Roger Corman. He's like 95, is the way you figure out? Did you say that already? Something like that, yeah. Yeah, incredible. So just connect them all, I'm saying. I agree.

The discussion we had was if you connected them, does that make it the longest running film franchise in history? Maybe. Potentially, yes. I mean, not really, but I think it would be funny to bring Roger Colman into one. I agree. Then they fight monsters.

They fight monsters. There was a clickbait article this week about somebody wanted to connect the Jurassic Park and Fast and Furious universes. Sure. Why not do it? It doesn't matter. None of them mean anything. Imagine if they did.

None of them mean anything. No, but that would be the best. It doesn't matter. You wouldn them mean anything. Imagine if they did. None of them mean anything. No, but that would be the best. It doesn't matter. You wouldn't even have to do a portal. You could just be like, yeah, this was always Jurassic Park world. Yeah, that's right. We just never brought it up because we're not really interested in it. You know how car guys only ever talk about car stuff?

And dinosaur guys only ever talk about how much they get paid up. And occasionally you'd be like, hey, man, you want to go to the dinosaur park? And he's like, no. No. Working on my street rod or whatever. I'm working on my street rod. You know? Yeah.

Or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm working on my WRX. Or whatever. Or whatever. I'm just adding glowing lights to underneath it, all right? Yeah. It's going to take me all morning.

You could put a glowing light under a brachiosaurus and they're like. Could you though? No, probably not. You could, but it's under a brachiosaurus and they're like. Could you though? No, probably not. You could, but it's also, it'd be up high. So it wouldn't mean anything. That's true. You know what I mean? Your lights have got to be low, man.

Yeah. We can make a lowered one. You could have the legs shortening surgery and get them real low. Thor Love and Thunder has wrapped. Did you see the photo of Chris Hemsworth this week in the wrapped photo? No, what's he doing? Is he being huge? He's the biggest man.

Is it him and Taika? Yes. I have seen that photo. Okay, yes. He's enormous. Probably because he's doing drugs. If I had to. Now, this isn't you throwing shade.

No. This is pointing out. They all do it. There are people out there being like, oh, man, I wish I was as huge as Chris Hemsworth. Yeah. Don't worry about it. And he also, yeah, don't worry.

But also. You shouldn't worry about it because it will kill you. He also obviously has like perfect nutrition and training. And people make him feel. And he's got that app he has. He's got an app that he has. He follows that app. Yeah, exactly.

He follows his own app. Where he does a lot of. He pays the monthly fee and he looks at his own app. Yeah, $49.95 a month. And he does that thing with the ropes. He does the thing with the ropes. And you whip the two ropes. But you don't have that on the app because most people don that thing with the ropes. And you whip the two ropes.

But you don't have that on the app because most people don't have the two ropes. So you're just doing leg raises. And that's how you get like that. That's how you do it. But not to say that I'm not saying he doesn't work hard because obviously he does. That is even if you're on gear or testosterone replacement or whatever, it's still virtually impossible. But it's just something that people just, I think, should be aware of. And, again, not in a bad way.

Good for him. Just so people know. Anyway, Taika Waititi says, this film is the craziest thing I've ever done and I'm honored to bust my ass and have a nervous breakdown. So see you in May of 2022. In a year from now we're going to be getting a look. And he's also dressed in his Korg outfit.

Oh, yeah, that's right, yeah. So there you go. It's all happening. That means a return of Korg, obviously. I hope so. Unless that's just his look now. Might just be, yeah. Went from a romper to that.

And why not? Was Korg in the final battle of Endgame? He was. Probably. He was definitely there. Yeah. I mean, he was in Endgame, so presumably he was there, right? Yeah.

What if the Eternals were there? Whoa. We'll find out. They ran space going, oh. Oh. Where would I even park the ship? I take leave of this place. Oh.

Oh, wait, it's over. Let's go back. That was quick, actually. It was quite quick. What if the animated series is coming out August 23rd? I don't know if you saw this. They confirmed a few other things this week. The Tony Stark goes to Sakaar.

Captain Marvel something. I can't remember. Thor never gets sent to Earth but then decides to have a party on Earth. He throws like a massive nine-round party on Earth. Okay, cool. Why not? Yeah, nice. That's all happening.

I don't know the length of these. I don't know if they're an hour length or half an hour or whatever. Have you finished MODOK? Have you watched more MODOK? I watched, because in Australia, as people might know, we're only getting one episode a week. So I've seen the first one and I've seen the second one where MODOK and his estranged wife go back in time

to a Third Eye Blind concert. Oh, really? In the 90s. Is it good? Yeah, it's fun. I like it. Because I've heard some people who? Yeah, it's fun. I like it. Because I've heard some people who are like, oh, I didn't love it. But I haven't. People have watched the whole thing, but I haven't.

Oh, right, okay. I've only seen the first one. Which I enjoy. I mean, you know, it's I think it's fun. I enjoy all the people involved. Sean Willits, who you might know animated the Batman v Superman alternate video on our channel. He worked on that. Some of the amazing shots in this he did. Because. He worked on that.

Some of the amazing shots in this he did. Because he's worked on like Robot Chicken and a bunch of other stuff. So he's amazing. So that's really cool. So there's a lot of his work in it. Just FYI. That's right. So if there's shots that you think look amazing, he did it.

That's right. He did that one. Yeah, yeah. So you're welcome from us. Yeah. Map it out. Yeah. Map it out yeah have it out yeah

we like to we like to you know we like to use our influence to raise people above us correct and then we just

you know take some credit mess around in the muck skim a little off the top yeah that's right I love it that's right

we have an assortment of MODOK eyes in a box they sent them to us yeah that's it sad news if you liked Jupiter's Legacy, which was us and nobody else apparently.

Evidently, yeah. I put up their YouTube video and people were like, this show sucks. It sucks. The reason why I don't think it sucks and I think it's okay. First of all, I think it gets stronger as it goes, which I'm also not a big fan of. But it's like it gets good at episode four.

Should have gotten good at episode one. But if you've seen something like Thunder Force, that sucks. Oh, yeah, definitely. And these are not the same things. No, no, no. That's why I'm like. I mean, people might say, oh, Thunder Force, it gets good at minute 21, but we didn't get that far.

No, we certainly didn't. There's an old Monty Python's Flying Circus sketch. It's called the All England Summarizing Proust Competition, and it's a bunch of competitors get up on stage and they each have 15 seconds to summarise Marcel Proust's seven-volume, 4,000-page novel, Remembrance of Times Past. And, of course, because it's Monty Python, all the contestants are a variety of lunatics.

But the final contestant, it's like a choral singing group, and they spend their entire 15 seconds getting into harmony. Contestants are a variety of lunatics. But the final contestant, it's like a choral singing group, and they spend their entire 15 seconds getting into harmony. So they're like, Proust in his first book wrote about, wrote about, Proust in his first book wrote about, wrote about, Proust in his first book wrote about. And then the bell goes and the comp is like,

sorry to say you didn't even get to the start of the first volume. And when I heard this announcement, I'm like, hey, Jupiter's Legacy, you didn't even get to the first volume of this comic book. You adapted it, but you got to like maybe issue two of the comic book and the rest was this old-timey filler. And look, I liked the old-timey filler, but as I said at the time, maybe that should have been one episode as opposed to stretched out across the whole thing. And now I'm mad that it's cancelled because

they didn't do any of the good stuff. Because that's what I was looking at. I'm like, okay, now we've done this preamble, we can do the comic. Because Jupiter's Legacy, the comic book, is sort of It's good, by the way. You should read it. It starts out quite like a normal-ish superhero comic book and then it goes

in directions of like, well, what if you were a superhero and you could do anything and the world wasn't the way you thought it would be? Would you change things and do this and who would betray who and all this sort of stuff and it gets bigger and wilder. But this, and I think it's, you know, it might be like we enjoyed it. I think most, I wonder if it's because we are so saturated with superhero stuff and we've watched all the like the Marvel stuff

and the DC stuff so many times that when something does something a little bit different, you're like, oh, this is intriguing. But I think maybe if you're a person, maybe you've watched the Marvel stuff once and the DC stuff once and you see a thumbnail that's like superhero on Netflix and you go, oh, this might be interesting and you click it and then literally half the show is people without superpowers having arguments in the olden times. About bank accounts. About bank accounts.

You'd be like, I was promised more superhero stuff. And, again, like the early superhero stuff, and this was a criticism level against it, and I think they're probably right. Yeah. It's not mind-boggling. No, it's not. And I think we even talked about that. Like, it's not. And I think we even talked about that.

It's fine. And here's something else. Here's something that is mind-boggling. Yes. This show cost $200 million. Sure did. Did you know that? I learned that this week, yeah.

It should be better. So I'm retroactively taking back some of the stuff I said. I think most of the money went to the old-timey. It seems that way, yeah. They would have had to build old-timey sets and all the old-timey. It seems that way, yeah. Like they would have had to build, you know, old-timey sets and all the old-timey costumes. Old-timey boat. Yeah, yeah.

Like if it's a superhero movie and you've got six characters, you need to build six superhero suits. But if you have like, if everything's set in the past and you've got hundreds of extras, you've got to put them all in old-timey clothes and give them old-timey makeup and cast hunched overover old crones. That's right. What are you going to get then?

Hire Kurt Woodsmith. What's that? You're going to hire Kurt Woodsmith, the guy that- Red? Yeah, red. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That 70s dad. That 70s dad, yeah.

Did you watch that 80s show? I watched one episode of that 80s show. I heard it's bad. Okay, sure. That's what I heard. Can confirm based on that one episode I watched. Good, good, good. I've just got some viewing minutes here.

So apparently in the first weekend it got 696 million minutes watched. What does that mean to us, Netflix? What does it mean? Well, if you compare that to Mitchell's versus The Machines, which had 853 million minutes watched, which is about 150 million more. And that's a two-hour movie as opposed to an eight-hour whatever series, whatever it was. Yeah, yeah.

So it's kind of, I mean, they kind of blew it by not doing enough, to be honest. But that being said, Mark Millar, who sold all of his properties, including this, to Netflix, all of the ones that he currently has the rights to. Yes. He's confident that it will be able to make a return and we will return to the world of Jupiter's Legacy at a later time.

But all the cast have been released at this point. Yeah, because they said, they didn't say cancelled, they didn't say on hiatus, they said we might rework this somehow and it's like, will you? They should because then they can do the comic. Yeah, that's right. I don't know whether they can though now. I think they might have missed that window.

I just assumed if, let's say Avengers, if Netflix put this much money into it, then they would have backed it. But it must have wildly underperformed for them to make this decision. But it's not completely over for this world because. Because if you get the 696 million minutes and you divide it by, you know, eight episodes, maybe an hour an episode, and then you divide it by two because that's us. It's just us.

We watched 350 billion minutes each. Yeah, we were very involved. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Until we knew it was $200 million. That's like more than Game of Thrones. That's so much. Like I didn't. And also who knows with budgets, you know what I mean?

That's true, yeah. Who knows with anything? Is that more than a season of Game of Thrones? More than a season. I think Game of Thrones by then was $10 million an episode, something like that. Wow, that's still less than Jiminy's Legacy. Yeah.

Wow. So there you go. Maybe it's because this is kind of the first Miller World thing on Netflix, like the first original thing, right? Yeah, yes, I believe, yes. So maybe they were like big push, tons of money into it. Keep all the costumes and sets and whatever. People are going to love it and then we can be like,

and this is from the bros who brought you Jupiter's Legacy next time and they do the next thing. So they're like we invest huge at the start and then it will pay dividends, but apparently it is not. That's right. Go big or go home, they said. But instead, they're just going home. Everybody's going home.

Josh Duhamel's going home. I know. I watched an interview with Conan O'Brien with Timothy Olsen. You know, he's wrapping up his show and they're friends. And Timothy Olsen talked about how they always get confused for each other. Yeah, yeah. Timothy Olsen talked about how they always get confused for each other. And he got Josh Duhamel to take his Christmas card photo that he sent to his family. So it's Timothy Olsen's family with Josh Duhamel,

and he said his mum didn't know to see that. That it wasn't him in the photo. I mean, he's not wrong, is he? They look very similar. Apparently Josh Duhamel is taller. So there you go. We've all learned something. The TV show Las Vegas.

He was in that, wasn't he? Was he? Oh, yeah, he was. He was. Yeah, yeah, cool, man. But the universe isn't over because there is a live action Super Crooks series which is moving forward set in the same universe. Yep.

I don't think I've read Super Crooks. Have you read it? I have read Super Crooks. I was not aware that it was set in the same universe. I didn't either. Maybe it wasn'toks. Have you read it? I have read Super Crooks. I was not aware that it was in the same universe. I didn't either. Oh, maybe it's the comic isn't it? Maybe it wasn't in the comics but now it is. Okay, yeah.

And is it going to be animated, the Super Crooks? There is an animated version. Okay. But they're also doing this. So this is, I can read you the synopsis. Please. Super Crooks is a return to the world of Jupiter's legacy with a ragtag gang of super villains.

Ragtag gang of orangutans. Cod artists, petty thieves and leg breakers who band together for the heist of the century. And the twist, they're all orangutans. They're all orangutans. And their most outrageous crime story you'll ever see in your life. So I'm pretty sure it's live action because I think they're also doing an animated.

Ah, right, okay. I think. But don't quote me on that unless you'd like to quote me on that. Oh, he's writing it down. Put it in all the trade papers. Deadline reports. Yeah, we'll see how that goes. James said this.

And there's no source quoted that don't explain who we are. And everybody's like, James, ooh, if James said it, it must be true. It must be true. People assume whatever James. Yeah, it's important. What did you think of Super Crooks, though, from memory? I enjoyed it. It's got great art, which will not translate to live action, obviously.

Sure. It's from Mark Miller's kind of quite edgy years, I think. Sure. So, you know. They're all like effing and jeffing, aren't they? Everybody's effing and jeffing, yeah. They're rude for my taste. I know, right?

Yeah. There'll be an ad here, won't there, Mason? Yeah, that's right. Unless you're in the ad for a feed. In which case, you can only dream. Yeah. As women, our life stages come with unique risk factors, like high blood pressure developed

That's sunrisechallenge.ca. Sometimes I think to myself, I sit back and I think, how can I choose my internet service provider? How can I? Because the sad thing is most of us have very little choice because ISPs operate like monopolies, and I hate the game Monopoly. It's a bad game, in the regions they serve, correct?

That's exactly right, James. I'm mad with you. Good. I'm not as mad as you are. We're mad together, though. And I'm not mad at you, and I think that's the important thing because I think you've discovered a solution to whatever the heck it is you're talking about.

I absolutely have because they often use their monopoly power to take advantage of customers. I'm talking data caps. I'm talking streaming throttles. The list goes on, but worst of all, many ISPs, they log your internet activity and sell your data onto the big tech companies or advertisers. And so to prevent ISPs from seeing my internet activity, I protect all my devices with ExpressVPN.

So what is ExpressVPN? Well, it's a simple app for your computer or your smartphone that encrypts all your data. I can't believe you didn't let me ask, what is ExpressVPN? Would you want to? No, it's too late now. You're right. You've ruined it. I already knew it.

Now I'm furious at you. It encrypts all your network data and tunnels it through a secure VPN server so that your ISP cannot see any of your activity. Just think about how much of your life is on the internet. For me, Mason, it's all of it. For you? Yeah, pretty much all of it. Yeah. My weird stuff. And sadly, the list of people you've messaged, sites you've reached, and videos you've watched gets tracked by tech giants who can then sell you information for profit. And that's the reason I recommend ExpressVPN as the best way to hide your online activity from your ISP. You just download the app, tap one button on your device, and you are protected. That's so easy.

It's too easy. And ExpressVPN does all of this without- You think it should be slightly harder? No, I think it's good. Okay. Would you want it to be- You said so easy. It's too easy. And ExpressVPN does all of this without- You think it should be slightly harder? No, I think it's good. Okay. Would you want it to be- You said too easy. Oh, like it was a bad thing. Yeah.

So I should have said, it's too easy. Oh, that's nice. Is that better? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cool. And ExpressVPN does all this without slowing your internet connection. That's why it's rated the number one VPN service by CNET and wide. And that to me is very important because our internet is dog shit. It's atrocious. Yeah. Thank you.

Sweet tooth. Yeah. So this just hit Netflix, eight episodes on the Friday of just past. We also recently did the Sweet Tooth comic for Big Sandwich. Speaking of, it's Indiana Jones this week. Yeah, Raiders of the Lost Ark. Raiders of the Lost Ark commentary. If you do want to check that out, that's up at bigsandwich.co right now.

Because prior to that we watched The Phantom. Yeah. And we were like, this is like a bad Indiana Jones. And then the light bulb moment, we should quit doing this podcast. Wait. Wait. Follow-up idea. Let's do Raiders of the Lost Ark.

That's right, yeah. A good Indiana Jones movie. That's right. So that'll be there. But anyways, we also recently did an episode on Sweet Tooth where we talked about the comic. Yeah. And now via Warner Brothers and Team Downey, which is the Downey.

The Downey Brothers. Downey. Robert and Susan Downey, which is the Downey – The Downey Brothers. The Downey Brothers. Robert and Susan Downey. That's right. So they're bringing this Jeff Lemire comic to TV. And I would say also if you're a big fan of the comic, this is not it. Well, that's interesting because – And not in a bad way, I should point out.

Yeah, well, I mean I guess it depends on your perspective. Yeah, for me, I should say. It depends on your perspective and it depends, I think, on how you are feeling about the current world that we live in, I think. So for people who haven't read the comic book, it's both written and illustrated by Jeff Lemire, who's done many comic books. He's worked for Marvel and DC, but he's done many of his own things in all sorts of different genres,

like fantasy and sci-fi and just regular life comic books, if you can even imagine. Essex County. Essex County, there's a little reference to that in the TV series. But the comic book is about, it's a world in which there's a deadly virus, covers the world, and at the same time children start being born with animal features and nobody's quite sure. Did one cause the other?

Is it a coincidence? Probably not a coincidence. It's not, is it? No, it's not, no. Do they spread the virus? Are they the cure for the virus? Yes, all these questions come up and, you know, the world's population is devastated.

I just looked over and the goat puppet was staring at me as I'm talking about animal people. The goat puppet sits at the table with us for those people. Here's to you, James. Toast to you from the goat puppet. That was a very odd moment. Anyway, sorry, go on. Mate, you are losing it.

I am. You're losing it. Yeah, so, yeah, so, Yeah, so the world is in decline. People are scared and losing – they're turning on each other. People are hunting these hybrid children for whatever reason. Yep. And the comic book is super grim. It's so sad.

And the boy is so sad and thin. Everybody's so sad. It's, uh, it's... And the boy is so sad and thin. Everybody's so sad. Everybody has, you know, like... Everyone looks like a broken twig. Yeah, they really do. Like, you know how you might describe somebody as having, like, sad deer eyes? Yeah. And you'd imagine that because in this series, Sweet Tooth Gus is half deer

or partly deer, and in the comic book he has sad deer eyes, but so does everybody else. Everybody's got sad deer eyes. He bags under their eyes. Everybody is sad and tired and afraid of everything and paranoid and exhausted and just, yeah, it's like the road meets Bambi as it has been described. But it's more the road.

It's mostly the road, yeah. And this TV series is different, and we got a clue from that when the trailers came out because they were quite upbeat. And then I think when it was like on Netflix it was like coming soon and the tags on it were heartwarming, uplifting, family-friendly, fun kind of thing. And we're like, is this going to be a weird twist? No, it's just kind of not.

Yeah, it's just like a, I mean, there are like stakes and terrible things happen. Yes. But it's more kind of ethereal and like you mentioned, he's like a little cherub boy. Yeah, it's more of a, I felt it was, you know, it's a little bit like a fable because we've got James Brolin doing the narration.

Is that who it is? Yeah, James Brolin, I think. Okay, thank you. And it's kind of like, you know, Gus was a very special boy and we're going to start this story at the beginning. He didn't have a gun. In the comic he might have had a gun at one point. Well, what's interesting is because when something is usually adapted

from one format to another, maybe a comic book to a movie or a TV series to a movie or whatever, the inclination, I think, and has been for the last 20 years, has been make it grimmer and grittier. Yes. But it's not a rule. No. Like it's not because you get something like Batman and, you know,

a big franchise, sometimes they make it silly. Like sometimes they'll do a Lego Batman like we mentioned earlier and that totally works. But it's interesting that they've gone, okay, this property that people have never seen before most likely and will probably not see again after this. Yeah, because they'll cancel it? I mean, they might cancel it but they might be like,

this is all the story we wanted to tell. No, they can easily do another one. Okay, great. But they're like, let's make it more light and fun. And I think, you know, that's a legitimate – I mean, there will be people in the world who are like, I liked it how it was in the comic books. Yes.

You've ruined this. But that would be the same with almost anything. They went, oh, I love, you know, silly Power Rangers stuff. Why did you make it darker and grittier for the reboot? Why didn't you make it sillier? Yeah. For me, look, I can understand why you would be upset because it is very different, but it worked for me.

And maybe just at the moment I didn't want to – like I read it recently. Yeah, yeah. And it's very good. Like don't get me wrong, it's excellent, but it's so sad. And maybe I was just not in the mood for a really sad, tragic thing at the moment. I looked it up and apparently Team Downey, the Downey brothers, got the rights to this several years ago, like 2018 or something like that. And I wonder if they'd always intended it to be a lighter take on this.

Yeah, right. Or because they filmed it during, some of it during COVID. They must have, yeah. I wonder if they'd always intended to be like that or if they went, they literally looked at the world and went, people do not want. Yeah. Like we have to make this because we've got everything together.

With a dynamic Downey duo. We've got all our investors money. So do we tweak it so it's more positive and it makes people feel? Because it's a show about a plague and, you know, ruining the world. And we see masks and a bunch of stuff. And people are panicking and all that sort of stuff. But, yeah, so a lot of it has changed. So, for example, we get Will Forte as his dad.

Yes. And in the comic books that guy is unhinged. He's unhinged. He's a lunatic. He's unhinged. He's a lunatic. He's probably a bad guy. Well, that's the thing. Like it's Sweet Tooth's mother isn't there in either version. But in the comic book, he's like a –

He's a religious zealot. He's sort of a zealot. He's a cultist. Anti-technology, anti-vaccine. Yeah, and he's kind of like just babbling to himself, and it's always like, sweet. Oh, no, it's because he's Gus. He doesn't get the name until later, but he's like,

Gus, you don't go out to the – you never leave the fort. There's devils everywhere. There's devils everywhere. But in this one, he's like a genuinely loving, likeable dad, and he's having fun with a kid. There's no fun in the comic book. There's no fun before. Not even for a second. If there's fun, it kid. There's no fun in the comic book. There's no fun before. Not even for a second.

If there's fun, it's because it's a trap in the comic. Yeah, and in the comic book, I guess some slight spoilers for the first episode, in the comic book he just dies of the virus eventually. Yeah. But in the TV series he dies because he's bravely defending his son and their property from various hunters and poachers and bad people. You don't really see it.

It's mostly off camera, but he's like, I'm doing this, you know, I'm going to eventually, you know, I'm going to pass away because of my injuries. He also gets sick. Yeah, absolutely, yeah. And they also changed Jeppard. For one, he's a hockey player in the comic. Yes.

And this is a football player or a former football player. And I guess we'll do some slight spoilers. Yeah. So Gus's father dies. Yep. And then he learns of a sanctuary and he learns that maybe his mother is out in Colorado. Yes. And so once he gets a visit from this big man who's crossing America to, you know, just get away from everything and just be alone, he's like, big man, you've got to take me with you. I want to go to Colorado, you know, we'll team up. Yes. Of course, because this guy's got a heart of gold and not a monster.

Yeah. But he's like, I don't want to do this or whatever. But in the comic, the initial reason that he takes Gus is because he's just going to sell him to some scientists. To get the comic, the initial reason that he takes Gus is because he's just going to sell him to some scientists. To get the bones of his dead wife. Yeah, to get the bones of his dead wife. And there's none of that.

Like he's not, he's reluctant to take him because he just doesn't want to do it and he doesn't want the responsibility or to get close to anybody. He doesn't want to connect emotionally. Yeah, but he's not, there is never that moment. And I'm like, is this coming? And I not, there is never that moment and I'm like, is this coming? And I'm like, from very early on, I'm like, I don't think it is.

I don't think they're going this way. So it's different. I saw that IGN gave it like a five. Out of ten? Yeah, I'm like, this is not a, for me, it's not a five show. Okay. But I think it's one of those things that I, what I did like about it is it was more hopeful.

Because in the comic, like, they're like, oh, we've got to go to this place, let's get to this place, and they get to this place that they've been talking about for issues and issues, and it's just a shed and a fence. Yeah. Like, and everything that they visit is just a shed and a fence or a hole in the ground or an abandoned building with a guy with a sniper rifle in it.

And a net or whatever. We're here to go to the preserve where animal children can live free. Oh, it's just a net. It's just a big net. We're starving this big net. But here it's like you visit like an abandoned zoo and it's been kind of refitted and whatever. And all these kind of different communities communities which it just doesn't exist

in the comic, which I think also, again, makes the comic interesting because you're constantly like there is literally not a safe place. Yeah, yeah. I think they eventually end up in a mine or in the side of a mountain or something, in a bunker, I can't remember. In a net. In a net and eventually in a net. Yeah.

But also it does a lot of kind of looking forward because in the comic, this is something that is also from the comic, the next generation of kids that are coming up are like animal people, right, which is the same in this. And it is that thing of like there's this dying older generation grasping onto the way that things used to be. Yeah. And they're pushing back against this like rising tide

of just like you're done. It's over. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And there is, I do get the sense of that. That is also happening kind of now in the real world of like the people who run the country are getting old. Sure. Not the country, the planet I should say.

The country we call Earth. Yeah, that's right. And, you know, we're kind of on the precipice of hopefully a change for the better and this kind of has that message as well in it. This one is also I feel more of an ensemble in terms of we're getting other, but again, I've only watched half of it, but like we're getting more stories of people who are also caught up in this, whereas in the comic books I remember it just mostly being, you know,

a sad journey of two sad people. But in this it's like, okay, well, what about the doctor who was delivering some of those babies? We're going to get more of that. And do the stories tie in together? Yeah, they do, yeah. And, again, it's like most Netflix series and all series. It's like, come back next year, which is kind of annoying as well.

Sure. Come back next year. which is kind of annoying as well. Sure. Come back next year. We're definitely doing a season two. Yeah, I think it seems like they will of this. It is looking good. But they also change things like there are a bunch of animal hybrid children that show up in this and the comic. And in this they're all kind of cutesy and they've got like little pig noses

and there's a little ferret, whatever. But in the comic they're like half of them are monsters. They're like non-verbal. The lead villain in this has like a pack of like coyote children that he just sets on people. Like they're just animals essentially. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but this is – that's not the case here.

It's like a little gopher boy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because in this and in the comic book, Gus was raised by his father and taught him to read and talk and hunt and survive and all this sort of stuff. But a lot of the animal kids were sort of left to their own devices so they're not really, they're not full people. No. It's also not as gory as the comic when you just cave someone's head

in with a baseball bat. That's true, yeah. And go to the next town and do that again. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A lot of the comic is that. But no, look, I mean I don't really have much else to say with it without doing all the spoilers because a lot of the stuff we talked about is early on.

But I found it, I really liked it. I think it's enjoyable. I think it's a delightful fable. It also felt brisker than Jupiter's Legacy as well. That's true. Yeah, like I just, yeah, I flew through this a couple of nights. It feels like, it feels to me like a fable. It feels kind of a little bit like, maybe it's just the narration,

but it feels like a Good Omens or like a British show, yeah, definitely. It feels more like a British show. Yeah, okay. I don't know why that is. Pete's Dragon? Yeah, like Pete's Dragon, a show I've never seen. Or a movie? I don't know what that is. Yeah.

Or like a Hitchhiker's Guide? Sure, yeah. It's got more whimsy than a lot of American stuff. Do you think Josh Brolin is going to end up being somebody at the end? James Brolin? James Brolin, sorry, like an older version of one of the characters maybe? Maybe old Gus. That's right.

If he makes it through, who knows? Yeah. Yeah. Also, it's well acted. That's true, yeah. I think it's well cast and well acted. I mean, that's the thing. You've got a show with kids in it.

Yeah. Those kids can't be annoying. Yeah. Because you all go there. Because he's got deer ears. Yeah. He's got a remote control off camera so somebody's wiggling his deer ears around. I don't know if he has like deer powers in the comic.

I can't remember. Does he? What's a deer power? Because he can like smell things and he's got like night vision and stuff. And he can smell things from a distance. I thought he was, initially I thought he was wearing night vision goggles. Okay, no, he used to always do that. Okay, right.

Yeah. Cool. But I can't remember whether that's a thing in the comic. Anyway, Mason. No, he's probably got sad vision. Yeah. He can But I can't remember whether that's the thing in the comic. Anyway, Mason. No, he's probably got sad vision. Yeah. He can just see sad things

and then he approaches the sad things. He's like, hey, can I make things more sad over here? I'm here to, yeah. I'm here to ruin everyone's day.

I mean, I know it was already ruined because of the stuff that's happening, but I'm here to make things worse. Can I have some of your food?

You don't have a lot of food. Can I have your food? But I want some. I want your food, please. All right. Should we do the next segment of the show? Let's do the next segment. Do you Can I have your food? But I want some. I want your food, please. All right. Should we do the next segment of the show? Let's do the next segment.

Do you know what it's called, though? It's called What We Readin'. Yeah. What We Gonna Read. That's what it's called. Yeah. Let's get it going. I'm doing a thing.

Westworld. Thank you. What are you Westworlding, Mason? I've been, let me think. What are you Westworlding most? I've been, let me think. What have you got first? I've been watching Superman and Lois because it's back. Oh, it is back. Okay, great.

It's really good. Not to spoil it because you're not up to something. Here comes a big spoiler, folks. No, I'm not going to do it. But they introduced a character that's like, didn't see that coming. And in a good way, I'm like, huh, really? Good. All right.

Spider-Man? Yeah, Spider-Man. Whoa. How'd a good way, I'm like, huh, really? Good. All right. Yeah. Spider-Man? Yeah, Spider-Man. Whoa. How'd they do that? How'd they get the? They just did it. Wow.

Wow. Yeah. They just took it from the movie as well. Just Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man. Just clips from that movie. Just posted it. Wow. They did that thing where they animate some lips on it?

Not even. Whoa. Does he talk to Superman? Does he just say stuff? They just cut to it. Whoa! Also, they would get Superman to be like, hope you're having fun in New York City, Spider-Man.

And he's like, I'm going to stop Electro. Well, good luck, Spider-Man. He gives him a big, big salute. But then, like, Tyler Herkul is like, oh, do I got to do this? What am I? Isn't it a Superman show? What are we doing here? No, we're changing it to Superman and Lois and Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man.

Spider-Man is more popular, so we're going to do this until. Stop. Until they stop us. So every scene is now, like, Superman and Lois. Instead of being like, man, I hope our kids are okay. You know scene is now like Superman and Lois. Instead of being like, man, I hope our kids are okay. You know, they're developing powers and stuff. And I hope they're, you know, not. I hope they're okay with us.

You know, we leave them sometimes. But now it's just like, I hope Spider-Man's doing okay. What do you think, Clark? Yeah, I hope Spider-Man's doing okay as well, Lois. What do you reckon he's up to? I don't know. Dane Dehan's got a green moss disease or something. Gwen Stacy.

Yeah. That's coming up, I think. Oh, my God. Great stuff. Yeah. But it is a good show. Great. You haven't continued watching it?

No, I'm just behind. I'm not against it. I'm a big fan. I really, really like it. Yeah, that's great. Nice to have a good one, continued watching it? No, I'm just behind. I'm not against it. I'm a big fan. I really, really like it. Yeah, that's great. Nice to have a good one, isn't it? It surprises me every week that I don't hate it. Great.

So it's only a matter of time. Do you feel a certain tension? Definitely. One week it's going to be bad. I think that's why it's good, though, because I'm like, another good one. What could it do to ruin itself for you? Just whatever happened to the CW. Okay, sure, sure.

Just becomes, I don't know. I mean, it's in the CW, right? No, no. Maybe. I don't know. I have no idea. They haven't done any crossovers yet. No, I think Arrow might be coming or something.

I have no idea. Great. It sort of is because, you know, they multi-dimensioned it and something. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, they did, yeah. But I don't know because I stopped watching it. Yeah, it's true. They're just cutting to Spider-Man. What have I been watching? I've, it's true. They're just cutting to Spider-Man. What have I been watching?

I've been reading a book. I don't have it here, so I can't illustrate that to you nor prove that I've done it. But it's a book by a woman named Sinead Stubbins. It's called In My Defence, I Have No Defence. And it's like a series of, like, short stories and essays about somebody, like, desperately, like, trying to be cool in their life and failing miserably.

It's just, like, fun kind of slice of life stories, which is good. And so was this a new book? This is a new book. It came out recently. A lot of people on my Instagram feed were like, you should check out this book. You specifically? No, just generally.

Oh. And I'm like, I think you're friends with this person, and so maybe this is biased, but I'll get it. I'll read it on my own and see if it's good. And it is good. It's good fun. I think Sinead works on a bunch of Australian TV stuff. Oh, it's an Australian book.

Yes, it's an Australian book. So I don't know if you can get it in the US, but probably. I mean, it's a book. She writes for The Weekly, that Charlie Pickering show. Yes. And she writes for Pedestrian TV and stuff like that. Pedestrian TV? Is that a YouTube? Pedestrian.TV is like a cool kids website. Zine.

Zine website, Zine. Zine. What else? I listen to a podcast called The Good Stuff, which is an Australian podcast. It's two comedians, Sam Taunton, who I know. Like the Star Wars horse? What?

Taunton. Oh, yeah, like the Star Wars horse. Okay, good. Yeah, that's right. That's how they introduce him on stage. I know Sam, but also Tom Cashman, who I've met once, and they have chats with comedians. It's just a good – it's like an old school podcast where it's just a bunch of –

No gimmick? No gimmick. They don't have to eat a hot sauce? No, nobody's eating a hot sauce. I don't know what they're doing. So it's just comedians having a fun and nice genial chat. It's good to shotgun a bunch of episodes if So it's just comedians having a fun and nice genial chat. It's good. It's good to like shotgun a bunch of episodes if you like, you know,

if you like Aussie comedians just having a nice chat. Yeah. And I listen to another podcast. It is called Worst Gigs. It's by Frankie McNair and she, as the name suggests, talks to comedians about their worst gigs. Excellent. And if you're like, man, you know, we're all locked down or whatever and there hasn't been a lot of

comedy gigs or live music gigs or whatever and you're like, man, I wish there were some terrible gig stories I could hear about. You got them. Got them in spades. It's really good. It's a good podcast. Terrific. Okay. What do you think about how, I think we've talked about this, how a lot of celebrity interviews are now like, you've got to shear this

sheep. You've got to talk to us about your movie and you've got to shear this sheep or whatever. got to talk to us about your movie and you've got to shear this sheep or whatever. We're going to hang you out. You've got to clean the glass on this skyscraper. Do you know what I mean? There's always, like, a gimmick. It must be annoying as a celebrity, right, to be like, it's not just an interview, it's now an interview and a thing.

We're going to play 50 questions. I think they could strip it back. I mean, you know. Because there's one good one questions. I think they could strip it back up. I mean, you know. Because there's one good one is what I'm saying. Hot ones. Yeah. And, yeah, and the idea behind that is, well, and that's the thing because what is good about hot ones is that it's

a novelty to break people out of their comfort zone, but the questions are also very good. Yeah, exactly, yes. And that is key, but for a lot of them it's like, hey, you're washing these windows or whatever, like high above in a skyscraper, you, yes. And that is key, but for a lot of them it's like, hey, you're washing these windows or whatever, like high above in a skyscraper, you might die, but what was the funniest thing about working on your new movie? It's like I don't – I think it should be like –

I think the key is a good interviewer. I've been watching on YouTube recently because we're in the segment. Yeah, sure. This is from Funny I Die used to have a video segment called Under a Rock with Tig Notaro where Tig Notaro, Because we're in the segment. Yeah, sure. This is from Funny I Die used to have a video segment called Under a Rock with Tig Notaro where Tig Notaro, comedian Tig Notaro, would have to interview somebody not knowing who they were because she doesn't,

she's not up on pop culture. She'd have to figure it out. She had to figure it out. And I think conceptually it's a good idea. Yeah. Sounds impossible now, right? Yeah, but I think there was too much novelty to it like yeah because they were quite short yeah and like the the celebrity would be given a bunch of like

gimmicks and novelties so like you know james vanderbeek was on there and he would be you know he'd have a picture of a creek and he'd have you know all this other stuff and be like what do you think of this now and i think it would have been better because i liked t picture of a creek and he'd have, you know, all this other stuff and be like, what do you think of this now? And I think it would have been better because I like Tig as a person and she was seemingly a good interviewer. She just had quite a long conversation with someone and she learned about them as a person and then eventually figured it out. But I think it's sort of hamstrung by the idea of like... Here's a picture of a creek.

Here's a picture of a creek or whatever and it's like this has to be short and it has to be kind of have bits in it and that kind of stuff. You know what I mean? Yeah, that makes sense to me. I like long-form interviews. I think it was also like sponsored by Alexa so they had to put an Alexa in there. Oh, okay, sure, yeah.

Like the problem is that everybody has to have a go at this sort of stuff and be like, how about we add this? How about we add this? But I think the idea of Tig doesn't know any celebrities so she has to figure out who this person was, I think that's a really great idea because she could learn about their life and their childhood. She gets some interesting questions out of that as well.

Interesting questions, right? And then by chance she would learn what they do and what their thing is. Yes. But to be like, here's your end game and you've got to figure it out in 10 minutes, not as good. Yeah, absolutely. One thing I have been watching lately is, you know, Conan's wrapping up and I mentioned this earlier. Yeah, absolutely. One thing I have been watching lately is, you know,

Conan's wrapping up and I mentioned this earlier. Yeah, yeah. His talk show is so weird because there's no audience. So someone comes out to like nothing. All the audience are like cardboard cutouts and maybe Andy Richter sitting out there heckling. And then they'll just talk for like 30 minutes. And it's just a talk.

Like there's no gimmick or the questions aren't preplanned and it spirals and they insult each other. And he's now transitioning to something else. And I think that is really interesting because actually Eddie Burback, I don't know if you know him, he's done a couple of videos on how late night is just it's dying and it's boring and they come out and they're like and Jimmy Fallon or Jimmy Kimmel or whoever is just like you mentioned, here's your new movie

and what was it like working with Tom Arnold or whatever? Sure, yeah. And it's like, who cares? And again, it's like four minutes and they're all pre-prepared anecdotes and it doesn't seem real. But you're right. Because there are now like Conan obviously now has no incentive to follow that format because if it's ending anyway, he doesn no incentive to follow that format

because if it's ending anyway, he doesn't have to follow the rules. So that's where it's more interesting I think. There was a show on Australian TV, like it was a political sketch comedy show called Tonightly. Are you talking about the David Tench Tonightly? I mean I'm always talking about the David Tench Tonightly. But there's a show called Tonightly and I think it got a lot funnier. Like it was announced that it got cancelled and had like a couple Tonightly, and I think it got a lot funnier. Like it was announced that it got cancelled and had like a couple of months left,

and I think it got a lot funnier. Because they just did whatever. They just did whatever. It's like, well, what are you going to do, cancel us? Yeah. They should have kept it at that point really, shouldn't they? Yeah, I think so too. But they didn't.

They didn't. And they brought back something bad probably. Sure, David Tench Tonight. Look it up. We talk about it every now and then. Every week we talk about it. It was a CGI rotoscoped talk show man, wasn't it? Yeah, it sure was.

Yeah. Okay. They should bring something like that back though. It probably exists, right? Yeah, definitely. Yeah. Yeah. It's Pepsi Man.

It's Pepsi Man. But all his questions are Pepsi Man. Do you want to do the next segment? Let's do letters. I've got the letters theme right here. I'm ready for it. Nice. The classic one was letters, oh letters, we love you.

Some letters, they're only a take my way. I know they're here right now. We're going to do letters. You guys love us some letters and you send us letters and we read these letters, don't we, Mason? They're only a day away. That's right. In this case, they're here right now. We're going to do letters. You guys love us some letters and you send us letters and we read these letters, don't we, Mason? They're only a day away. That's right. In this case, they're here.

They're ready to go. And then our hot little hand. If you do just our one single hand, if you do want to reach the show, hashtag weeklyplanetpod or weeklyplanetpod at gmail.com to shoot over in Gmail. Would you like to kick us off, Mason? Here's one. Here's something we've long wondered about on this podcast,

but here's an answer. This is from Shantanu. He says, mandatory intermission is decided by the cinemas and not the studios. So in some countries they have an intermission in the middle of the movie. Italy, yeah. That's right. He says, quite a few weeks ago, you guys discussed whether in countries where intermission is

mandatory, do the studios decide where the intermission will be or the cinemas? I'm from India, and I would like to tell you that the cinemas definitively decide on where intermission is mandatory, do the studios decide where the intermission will be or the cinemas? I'm from India, and I would like to tell you that the cinemas definitively decide on the intermission. I watched Infinity War twice, and the experience was vastly different both times because of the intermission. My first viewing was in the prestigious kind of cinema. So in Infinity War, they decided to put the intermission

when Thanos has the reality stone and takes Gamora with him and Star-Lord is staring into the oblivion. So that's a good point. Great spot. That's like a bit of a cliffhanger. Is it intrigue and fear that Thanos has got the reality stone as takes Gamora with him and Star-Lord is staring into the oblivion. So that's a good point. Great spot. That's like a bit of a cliffhanger. It's intrigue and fear that Thanos has got the reality stone as well. The second time was in a garbage mini-plex.

They put an intermission right where Gamora stabs Thanos in the neck. It was my second time so I knew that it was a construct of Thanos from the reality stone but most people will build it in the theatre and a lot of people were saying, that's it, he's dead, was that easy? Just stab him in the neck? So I know how putting intermission at critical points can change your movie-going experience. Okay, this is good

to know. I didn't know that. Movies in India and Bollywood are scripted keeping the intermission in mind because in India until recently most movies were clocking in close to three hours or more. Yeah. Can I be the officially the Bollywood correspondent of the pod? Absolutely. Please, we need one. That's a hot topic.

Yeah, yeah. I wonder if it's, is it country specific? I mean, surely the studio could request it if they wanted to, right? Maybe they could request it. Maybe they should request it. Yeah. Yeah. Or maybe it's another one of those things of like, honestly,

like movie studios are like, the movie's out there and people are going to watch it. So, you know how like a lot of the time a movie doesn't make sense and the ultimate result of the studio is, well, people aren't there for the plot. No. They're there for the explosion. So once it's out there, it's out there.

Yeah, they're there to give us money. Every time I edit a video, I'm like, I should put in a couple of second pauses where the ad breaks are going to be. Because otherwise you're going to find them in the video. That's true. You've got to wait for like a pause. So I should do that. That's reminded me. But no, that's interesting. That's really interesting. Anyway, I'm still're going to find them in the video. That's true. You're going to wait for like a pause. So I should do that. That's reminded me.

But no, that's interesting. That's really interesting. Anyway, I'm still for them. Put them in. Put them in. But I don't want to talk to anybody in the intermission. I don't want to come out and talk about what I think is going to happen or what you think is going to happen.

Do you think walls should come down around your seats? Walls should come down, yeah, exactly. Nice. Everyone goes to their own toilet cubicles with headphones on. Even if they don't need to go. Yep, with headphones on. Okay, right, and they're forced away. That's right. Even if they don't need to go. Yep, with headphones on. Okay, right, and they're forced to wee.

That's right. Cobweb on your microphone. It's annoying me, Mason. Did you put that there? Yeah, that's right. I knew it. As if I could get a cobweb on this microphone because of all the hot content, I shoot through it every week as if it would develop any cobwebs.

You're right. Absolutely right. Madness. I've got a tweet here from James Michael Parry who says, hashtag weeklyplanetpod. Please. Having just rewatched Game of Thrones and enjoyed it, particularly the ending, more than the first time, is there anything you've ever visited and found it significantly more fun

than the first time around? Ooh. I do have an example. Go ahead. You give your example. Mine is Moulin Rouge. Okay. When I first watched that, I'm like, this is the worst movie I've ever seen.

It's just an absolute assault of like terrible covers and kicking legs at the screen and people screaming at each other. And then I kind of sat on it for like a month. And then I went, for some reason, I'm like, I'm going to rewatch this. And it just kind of clicked with me. Okay. And I just think it's a wonderful and weird movie. There you go.

Yeah. Boy, well, I haven't re-watched Tenet yet, so I can't. You've got it, though, don't you? Yeah, I got it. Yeah. How's it going back to the Fast and Furious films at the moment? Terrific. What's good, James?

What is good? What is good, you know? Yeah. You know what? I couldn't give you a specific example right now, but a lot of older and slower stuff. Like, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, from like the 60s or the 70s. A Great Escape.

Yeah, Great Escape would be a good example. Yeah, yeah. Oh, Butch Cassidy was probably the first time I saw that. I'm like. Yeah, boring. But I think I rewatched that on your recommendation. Yeah, right. And I'm like, oh, no, this is, as a grown-up person.

Yeah, this is quite good. This is quite good, yeah. Especially when you're like like this is all real it's all yeah you know yeah they're definitely they did all of it yeah and i think that's probably the you know that he's riding that bike backwards it's really him and it is a case of i think with a lot of old stuff it is a case of like well newer movies have done that they've done it better yeah so if you've if you've started on the newer stuff you go back to an old thing and you're like, this is pretty basic. And you miss, you know, you miss the great character stuff.

You miss the great story stuff because you're like, well, I've seen a wagon train blow up before, you know? Yeah, exactly. Yeah. So old stuff is my example. Yeah. All old stuff is better. Every old, yes.

Or worse. Yeah. Sometimes you go back and you're like, this is the labyrinth and it's bad maybe. No, I never saw the labyrinth growing up. Here's an email from Gabe. This is the one I mentioned earlier. It says, was Claire getting turnt? Yeah, big time.

I got the impression she was pretty lit. She was lit with family. Family drama. Family drama. We're thinking of starting a family vlog channel and I just do pranks where I pretend I've killed our kids. You know, those things people do. Yeah, terrific, great. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You know, they'll throw them off a balcony or whatever or run them over the car. And then they're like, we fucking got you. I mean, they're all fake. Yeah. They're like, what a horrible thing to do. Just ruin your wife's heart health, you know, one shock at a time. How many times do you think you would be able to do that

before Claire was like, I know this is not a trick. I reckon I could do at a time. How many times do you think you would be able to do that before Claire was like, I know this is not a trick. I know this is a trick. I could do it every time. Wow. Yeah. I planned it out well enough. And also if she was like, if she felt like, oh, yeah.

Because she's got empathy and I would take advantage of that. That's true. And eventually she'd be like, well, maybe this is the time he's lost his mind. Yeah, that's right. That's probably true. If he's doing this, he's unhinged in the first place. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What else? You got another one?

Because I got another one here. Yeah, no, go for it. Raheith says, hashtag weeklyplanetpod, what do you guys think of the new Superman and Lois TV show? Did you catch up? I've talked about this. Is Tyler your favourite modern version of Superman? And do you think Jordan Kent has a place in the comics? Because I'm sick of Jonathan Kent being a

replacement Superman. But I think that's where we differ from Raheith because we both like Jonathan Kent as a character, don't we, in the comics? Because you've talked about how there was the promise for years that Superman's son was going to become Superman. Yeah. And then they just keep resetting history. But it's sort of, it's happening for real now.

I mean, for now. For now. For the next, when did they reboot? For the next eight years. Yeah, exactly. And then Superman. Until the Watchmen come back. Yeah, there's Rue and everything.

Rue and everything. Yeah. No, I do think Tyler Herklin is a very good Superman. Yeah. Yeah. And look, they've, you know, but Cavill has the potential to be great. He's got good, like, yeah, Tyler Herklin has good material at this show as well. Yeah, that's almost.

He can do it all. He can come home and put on a flannel shirt and be like, help me with this tractor or whatever. Yeah. And then he'll punch Lex Luthor in the head. Here's an email. Sure. This is from Matthew.

He says, I'm a very long time listening to the show. How long? Just says very long time. Okay. Tom's relative, but whatever. This is my first time writing in. So I was on my first flight today since the pandemic to go and see my grandmother for her birthday.

Nice. We haven't seen in almost two years. I really, really hate flying, but mostly takeoff and landing. But with listening to you two, it really helped calm me down and made the flight as enjoyable as a flight can be. Happy to help. Thank you so much for this and being one of the first things me and my best friend bonded over.

Can I be the official nervous Irishman of the podcast? Many thanks, you can, and I share that. You got it. I do not care for flying either. Which I didn't know about you until we were on a plane together. And I was like, let me out. I'm like, no, we're in the sky. Not important.

How do you feel about it now? I haven't been on a plane in ages. Yeah. But there's always drugs. Yes, exactly. Was you as a kid, were you the same or was it something you developed? And do you know like where it comes from? No, I don't.

Or is it like a completely rational fear because you're flying in the sky, which I think is like if you're afraid of flying, it's like, yeah. Yeah, but I mean statistically speaking it isn't rational. I know, but you're still flying in the sky. Yeah, and I think it's developed over the years. Yeah. But there's always drugs. There's always drugs.

There's always drugs. As many as you can take. Yeah, that's right. As many as you can stuff down your gob. That's right, yeah. Anything else or should we wrap it up? This one says Fred Durst's story. All right.

This email from William. It says Fred Durst's story. Let's go. We would end here, but sight unseen, we're going to read the Fred Durst's story. It. Email from William says Fred Durst story. Let's go. We would end here, but sight unseen, we're going to read the Fred Durst story. It's from William. I grew up in Jacksonville. Look, first of all, this email has nothing to do

with the podcast, but irrelevant, because you got us with a good headline. Maybe he's emailed this to a bunch of podcasts, but here we go. I grew up in Jacksonville, which, as you know, is the birthplace of Limp Bizkit. Nah. And a woman I worked with actually knew him,

I'm assuming Fred Durst. Her husband was a drummer and for a short period was in Durst's band right before they became Limp Bizkit. Yeah. Apparently he is the one person she has ever forbid her husband from bringing back to the house because he was a loud arsehole and would come over half cut. Yep, fair enough.

I figure even if you don't read out of this pod, it will give you both a chuckle. Yes, it will. I mean, that's, you know. I mean, look. He's probably matured since then. He's probably matured. Yeah.

And he probably did it all for the nookie. You know what I mean? Yeah. That's why he does anything. Maybe he likes to go to people's houses and break stuff. Also the title of one of their songs. Maybe it's a bad band. Sure.

And maybe they were never good. Maybe. But they're rich. Yeah, that's true. Can you imagine a band like that coming out now and being like, get ready for this? Because I know obviously it's different because we've passed through that era. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But imagine somebody like that appearing now. Just out of nowhere. Like a bad smell. Oh, here's another one. This one says true story of Gene Simmons. All right. Here we go. Because recently we did our time capture.

Yeah, we talked about Gene Simmons. Hey, guys, Jesse here. If you're not aware, Gene Simmons of Kiss married Shannon Tweed, who was born and raised in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Did not know that. My home. In 2010, a very good friend of mine worked as a hostess at one of Saskatoon's top restaurants, Earl's.

And Jean and Shannon came in. It was Christmas time, so it was assumed they came to be with Shannon Tweed's family. Sure. My friend approached them at the front to bring them to the table. Jean replied, how long have you worked at this establishment? She responded, three years. Jean then said, well, you've kept me and my wife waiting here for 50 seconds,

so if I were to purchase this establishment, and if you're smart enough to know who I am, I absolutely could, you would be looking for another job. So pray that the waitress is more efficient than the hostess. Show us to our table, please. Ugh. Yuck. I mean, again, if that's true.

Sure. I mean, it sounds true, doesn't it? He's the worst. Yeah, no good, this guy. Again, as I mentioned on the podcast, every story I've ever heard, every anecdote, every interview he's ever done, there's just nothing about him that has ever been like, yeah, he's all right. Even all right.

Sure, yeah. But they did write that song, I Was Made For Loving You, that goes... I don't think it's... It's not worth it. It's not worth it, is it? It's not that good a song. It's not worth it, no.

Yeah. Anyways, I guess that... Have you got any other... Even some good celebrity stories. Sure. Don't make them up. We can't tell. No.

But don't. But we can sort of tell? Yeah, we can sort of tell. But we can't tell. But we can't tell. Yeah, yeah. We don't know. We'd love to hear them.

Maybe we could do like a celebrity corner. Sure. Good or bad. Well, I mean, we used to have, could do like a celebrity corner. Sure. Good or bad. Well, I mean, we used to have obviously Dave Crulia. Yes. A segment where people would email in with terrible things Dave Crulia had done. Yes. And we probably had another segment.

We probably had another segment. About different people. Definitely. Yeah. Anyway, should we wrap it up then? Let's wrap it all up, folks. Thank you so much for listening to the episode. Hope you enjoyed it.
