Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of The Weekly Planet. The first, no, the second, we're back, where we talk movies and comics. I'm back, too. And TV shows. My name is James, the second, we're back, where we talk movies and comics. Hey everyone, I'm back too. And TV shows. My name is James, also known as Mr. Sunday, and with me as always is my co-host, welcome back, Nick Mason. It's good to be back. I don't know about you, but every day we're like, well, we're on break. You know, we're just taking a couple of weeks off. Just in my mind, I just feel the listenership just cratering. Just like the listeners just falling off a cliff, literally.

Wow. Yeah, and I can't save them. No? No. Because you don't want to. I'm on holiday. God, what am I doing? You have to get a big scooping net or something.

Right, exactly. But I'm like, no, we've got to keep it moving. So it genuinely feels good to be back. And for people wondering, we both had a very stress-free, restful, re-energising break in the sense that, James, you and your entire family took turns getting COVID and my car got washed away in a flood. So we both were just drinking tropical drinks on the beach

is what we were doing. That's exactly it. For two weeks. But the content, of course, didn't stop over at BigSandwich.co, as I'm sure people would know. We actually did a Ghostwriter commentary, which is up there right now. If you don't know, it's like our private Patreon. It's linked below.

That was fun, wasn't it? A bad movie. Oh, you doing that spiel? Yeah. That was fun. But it was, yeah, it was a good, yeah, I had a lot of fun. Am I not allowed to do the spiel? No.

It's 2022, Mason. I'm doing the spiel. All spiels all the time. We're going to get the audience back. That's right. I'm saying, do it. Why did we waste the first 30 seconds of the show? We could have started doing spiels. Also, I guess

we should point out, we start doing things before we come back, obviously. We've been recording Caravan of Garbage and doing big sandwich stuff and whatever. And push-ups. Yeah, and push-ups. We've been doing push-ups for a week. And we're looking good, let me just tell you that much. It's really going to kick in any day now, isn't it? Yes.

Anyways, this week it's very exciting because we're going to do, after all the news, we're going to do a brief hot quick news where we catch up on all the stuff that we missed. That's right. But there's more relevant stuff that really takes precedent, don't you think? Pertinent. That's right.

We're talking about Peacemaker. Hot thick news. That's good. It's current and thick. Oh, I don't you think? Pertinent. That's right. We're talking about Peacemaker. Hot, thick news. That's good. It's current and thick. Oh, I don't like that either, actually. I don't like it. It's news stew time. Ugh, gross.

It's got bits of ham in it, maybe. No, that's spam. Oh, no. I said maybe. You did, yeah. It's got unidentified bits of things in it. That's dog sick. Anyways, fast head casting, Mortal Kombat news,

delays but not dismays, some Bond casting, the Batman, and then we're going to fire off some hot quick news. And then, of course, we're going to go through all the- We're eating our way through the hot news, Stu. I'm choking her down. And then, of course, we're going to do the big. Towards the end, it's going to get a little bit cold. You'll be like, mmm, a lukewarm.

It's like solidifying. Lukewarm new stew. Jellied new stew. Gross. Now, where have you put. Oh, wait, I was going to talk about the, sorry, then all the big releases of the year. That's right.

We've got month to month for TV and film. Yeah, yeah. Anyway, so where have I put. Not including January because that's happened. Yeah, Scream, I guess, and maybe Kingsman on that. Where have you put Arnold Schwarzenegger put up a tweet where he was dressed as Zeus? I think that's probably a Super Bowl ad.

It's a Super Bowl ad, isn't it? But it tricked me for a second. Yeah, me too. I had to look it up. Initially, I'm like, is this a Black Adam thing? Yeah, right. Because I'm like. No, because it looked too fake.

It looked like it was either that or Raid Shadow Legend. Oh, yeah, yeah. Or also, it could be both, to be honest. Really. It could absolutely be both. It could be Raid Shadow Legends' first Super Bowl ad. Oh, very good. Is Raid Shadow Legends like medieval stuff?

Yeah, I don't know. It's big enough where they've already had Super Bowl ads and they've done it for years. I knock back an ad a week from Raid Shadow Legends. And I'm not against it, but what is it? What is it? And it's not enough money. Tell me what it is and give me more money and i'll do it let me do an ad where i say i don't know what it is and i don't like it i'm not gonna look into it i so i first i was like okay is it black adam yeah or is it like another because you know one of one of shazam's powers is power of zeus yeah uh or is it a rat, because, you know, one of Shazam's powers is the power of Zeus.

Yep. Or is it a Love and Thunder thing, a Thor Love and Thunder thing, because maybe it's the Greek pantheon comes in and then I'm like Super Bowl ad. Yeah, Super Bowl ad. So that's coming up mid-Feb. We'll do an episode. Great, I'm excited. I think it's the same week as Uncharted.

Well, let's do Arnold Schwarzenegger as Zeus updates until that's ready. Until that. Well, he was Hercules,zenegger as Zeus updates until that's over. Well, he was Hercules. Now he's Zeus or whatever. And that's how it works, isn't it? He was also a kindergarten cop. He was. Not in the sequel, though.

Or only the sequel? I can't remember. Anyways, listen. Deadline is saying that there's a really good chance. They spoke to James Gunn. He said there's a really good chance that Peacemaker Season 2 is happening. Did he say it's a really good chance? Really good chance. Did he spell it really?

He said really. Okay. Like the way Paris Hilton would say it. Did he say it's a really good chance? Really good chance. Did he spell it really? He said really. Okay. Like the way Paris Hilton would say it. Did he say really? He didn't say really. Not a really good chance. He didn't say that. Well, then I don't understand him.

Yeah. So, well, it's definitely getting another season. For one, it is the biggest streaming show in the world currently. Oh. I guess even beating out and just like that, which actually I'm doing a podcast on. Is that still going? One more episode.

Okay. Suggestible in the city if you're interested. I do it with my wife. And then also we do the podcast also. Anyways. Mate. Wow. Anyways.

They're also apparently in the early days of developing another spinoff with a Suicide Squad character, which leaves Harley Quinn, Bloodsport, King Shark, Weasel or Ratwoman. So which one? King Shark. You think so? I think so, yeah. All right then.

Although, I mean, do you get Stallone to do the voice? Yeah. Will he do it for a series? He didn't come in for mocap because that was Steve Agee, right? Steve Agee. Okay, right. Well, I mean, they already got Steve Agee. He would do the mocap.

I mean, you could presumably get Stallone in for a day and record an entire season's worth of dialogue. Definitely. So, I mean, maybe. I don you could get Stallone in for a day and record an entire season's worth of dialogue. Definitely. So, I mean, maybe. I don't know if I want to say. But here's the thing. Would Stallone not do it because it's TV, even though it's HBO Max?

No, I think he would. I don't think it's. He does do TV. He did a boxing show a few years back. Do you remember? He was like, this is Rocky, but real life. People might know me from Rocky. I was boxing. But I will also am in real life. People might know me from Rocky. I was boxing.

But I'm also in real life. People see me now, they realize I'm real. That's all they know. Hey, you, look at me. Am I in real life? Yeah. That's what I thought. That's what I thought.

Case closed. He's also a lawyer. Or a cop. Yep. He's Judge D Case closed. He's also a lawyer. Or a cop. Yep. He's Judge Dredd. He's Judge Dredd. There you go. I mean, I would guess King Shark just because he is,

because if you do Bloodsport, it's just another guy with a gun. That's true. But I feel like James Gunn is, I mean, he's good. Oh, he's another gun guy. Look, you haven't watched this yet, have you? I haven't watched it yet, no. It's incredible. People have said, are we going to do recaed this yet have you I haven't watched it yet no It's incredible People have said

Are we going to do recaps No because I'm just going to Enjoy a show How dare you I'm just going to enjoy One show How dare you Well I'm deciding

Which one it is And it's Book of Boba Fett You have to watch and enjoy Book of Boba Fett Can't I just be lukewarm on it Can't I just think it's okay Can't I just be like Why did they just make

An episode of The Mandalorian In the middle of this series? Are you up to date on that? I'm not. Are you? Okay, right. Last week's episode was just like, this is just an episode of The Mandalorian. It was very good.

Can I ask you, let me ask you this. Have they finished filming season three of The Mandalorian? I believe so, yes. Do you think that they just took it out? Do you think they just took an episode of The Mandalorian and put it in there because they're like, nobody's watching the Book of Boba Fett and we've got to get some characters people like. It's definitely possible.

But also it does lead into, this is a slight spoiler I guess, but it does lead into whatever Boba Fett is up to. Right. But also like. Could they have just done that? Yeah, they could have because they do flashbacks anyway. So like whatever. Anyways, whatever.

That's my personal conspiracy theory having not watched any of Boba Fett past episode one. I mean I think we always knew the episode count, but I don't know. Anyways, let's move on to more news. They're just getting rid of one episode. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why not? This is from The Hollywood Reporter, and this was then confirmed.

F10, Fast 10, the F10 key on my keyboard has a picture of a camera underneath, but it's not screen capture, so I think it turns my camera on and off. Ah, good luck. You've got a little sticker. I've got a sticker over it. I don't want people looking at me. I don't want people looking at me, Mason, all day. There's a reason I'm not on YouTube much with my face.

I don't want people looking at me. Jason Momoa has joined the cast. Things as The Rock is out. Who do you get? You need a big, beautiful boy. Taylor Lautner? No. Oh. Who need a big, beautiful boy. Taylor Lautner? No. Oh.

Who else is big and beautiful? The boy reading this. The boy listening to this. That's nice. That's really sweet. That's very, really nice. Jason Momoa. Do you think he's going to be the villain?

Who was the last villain? It was What's Her Face Again. Fuck, man. Come on. No, it was John Cena. Oh, yeah, it was John Cena. But it was also the lady. Yeah, and another nerd, like a Zuckerberg nerd or whatever. Oh, yeah? Fuck, man. Come on. No, it was John Cena. Oh, it was John Cena. But it was also the other, the lady. Yeah, and another nerd.

Like a Zuckerberg nerd or whatever. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He was German, I want to say. Yeah, right. I don't know. Charlize Theron also. That's who I'm thinking of, the lady. Yeah, the lady.

Yeah. Am I losing my ability to know words? Couldn't tell you. Because you're losing the ability to analyse whether I'm Correct Losing words Correct Really makes you think But like that It's that movie

Xeno Evil Xeno Evil Except the specifics of whatever you just said there You know what I mean Yes exactly That's what's going on in our lives Yes Do you think they're gonna

Like It's too Because there's two left in the saga Right Is there enough time left To make him the bad guy And then switch over And then he's the good guy

And then they all And then they get like 12 very buff men to, I guess, beat up Charlize Theron, who's the only consistent bad guy in this? Maybe, yeah, okay. Is there enough time? I think there is absolutely enough time for him to come in as, whose brother is he though? Oh, great question. I feel like initially I'm like Dom's other brother,

but I don't think there's enough wiggle room in those flashbacks for him to be like, I have another brother. He could be The Rock's brother, I guess. I mean, he looks more like The Rock than John Cena looks like Vin Diesel, even though they spray painted him the same tan. Would they explain why they didn't mention him at all when The Rock went back to his family. Well, he's an outcast, isn't he?

Yeah, because he's too much of a bad guy. There was never a John Cena explanation that was there. So, you know, what do you expect in the world, Mason? At this point, not much. Good, but I hope you're expecting a new Mortal Kombat film. Were you expecting that? I really wasn't. It's been a year, nearly a year, and they've confirmed it.

Oh, they went due for one. All right. This is by a deadline. Jeremy Slater was writing. He's apparently worked. Not apparently. He did. He wrote the new Moon Knight series, which we'll be talking about in a bit.

So, yeah, I guess maybe they'll do a Mortal Kombat in this one. Okay. I mean, that was like. Are they going to bring in Golden Boy? Is Golden Boy coming back? Who's Golden Boy? Golden Boy. Oh, yeah, he has golden arm powers or whatever.

Yeah, he has golden arm powers. Golden arm powers, yeah, because that was his Mortal Kombat unlocked ability or whatever. That's right, yeah, it's Golden Arm Powers or whatever. Yeah, it's Golden Arm Powers, yeah. Because that was his Mortal Kombat unlocked ability or whatever. That's right, yeah. Yeah, that was a good movie, wasn't it? No. Correct. Those are some fun moments. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mortal Kombat in name only though, you know what I mean? Anyways, there you go.

Getting another one. Delays. Keno. Keno from Ninja Turtles 2? Mortal Kombat in name only. Oh, very good. I thought you meant from Ninja Turtles 2. Remember Keno? No. That's a good movie. Anyways, delays but not dismay, Mason. I'm just saying Mortal Kombat has enough characters.

You don't need to bring in another guy. Well, there you go. So would you say that of every new Mortal Kombat game then? Yeah. Fair enough. Delays, Mason. In fact, they've got enough character models from previous games as well, so just bring in the old character models.

Exactly. There was a time when they'd just, like, give Sub-Zero a different colour. That's what they used to do. Give all the other characters different colours. It's fine. It's absolutely fine. Different Sonya. There is a different Sonya.

It's called Cassie. She had a daughter with something. Anyway, delays. Go on. But not dismay. The famous segment of the show, hopefully few and far between this year, where we talk about what's being delayed. But we don't want people to dismay.

We don't want them to feel dismayed. Exactly. So the Hollywood Reporter have confirmed that Mission Impossible 7 has moved from September of this year to July of 2023. That's a long time. That's nearly a year. But this, of course, has now pushed back Mission Impossible 8 from July 2023 to June of 2024.

I also saw that Tom Cruise's new movie that he's shooting in space in the International Space Station, they said apparently only some of it's filming in space. And I'm like, why? I mean, why any of it? That's my question. Why don't you just use like green screens and don't have space? They're like Tom Cruise, your bones are turning into dust

and he's like, I don't care. I've reserved bones. I've a drawer full of them. Oh, he's like, I don't care. I've reserved bones. I've a drawer full of them. Oh, he's got additional bones at home. He's got backup bones at home. Yeah, where they come from, you'd have to ask him. I honestly don't know. The sea.

Yeah? Yeah. I just go to one of our boats and there's just some spare bones. Wow. Yeah. That's amazing. Boat bones. That guy does it all.

Yeah. Including, I don't know if this is in Hot Quick News. Okay. But rumours about that maybe he's going to be in an MCU movie. Yeah. Probably not. There might be. Yeah, so there's rumours that, well, there's going to be a bunch of cameos

and Doctor Strange is filled with cameos or whatever it's called. That's right. Doctor Strange and look at all these cameos. I don't know. What's her name? What's her thing, Mason? I've forgotten words again. Or is that you?

Anyway, so there's going to be an Avengers team from another dimension. Yeah. And the rumor is that Tom Cruise is going to play Iron Man. Because he maybe was going to play Iron Man in the 90s. Like the 90s or whatever. But I don't know. Yeah, yeah. That'd be okay.

I mean, maybe. I mean, he was Austin Powers for a second. Yeah, that's right, he was. He's not above dropping in for a gag from time to time. But here's the thing which would disappoint me is if he shows up and he's just in like a Robert Downey Jr. Iron Man suit. I want him in a 90s style suit, like a terrible looking suit. Okay.

Just something bad. And you get like Brad Pitt as Captain America and whatever and whatever. Yeah. All right, let's do it. Just two men in big crash helmets. Shaking hands. Yes, that's right. We're friends in this dimension because it's the 90s and we're loving life.

What's the 90s reference? Hypercolor. Hypercolor, everyone. But in other news, in Delays and Not Dismays, Morbius. Oh. I can't wait, but I'll have to because it's supposed to be out by now, but it's been moved to April 1st. Yeah.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Oh, because of April. Okay, I get it. Yeah, so everyone's thinking about that. And. You know, I've actually honestly been thinking about it a lot, and the thing that I've been thinking about it most is the bit in the trailer where he's like in front of the train

and the subway and he's just flapping like a chip packet in the wind. It's like an discarded chip packet. I don't even know what you're talking about. There's a bit in the trailer and he's like just flapping. I'm not looking at that. He's got a sort of gliding hover power and he's just. Yeah, cool.

Yeah, it's cool. I like the way you're doing it. Like a sheet that's not really like pegged to the line properly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No movement in the elbows. Just all hands. Just flapping hands at the wrists. It's great.

Barbara Broccoli, who heads up what's going on with James Bond essentially, confirmed that Idris Elba is part of the conversation for the role. Oh, my goodness. Again, I think he's like 10 years too late. Don't get me wrong. He looks great. He could definitely do it. But, like, you're going to need like 10 years of him, you know?

Yeah, right, right, right. Which makes me think you'd cast like mid-30s. But, you know, he's a name. He's good. We'll see what happens. Yeah. And then we'll watch everyone get upset. It's going to be good.

Maybe you'll just do one. Maybe that'd be – wouldn't that be cool. Maybe you'll just do one. Maybe. Maybe that's, that'd be, wouldn't that be cool if they just did like. Just one actor. I mean, I don't think they would just because they, you know, the wisdom these days is everybody wants a franchise. Everyone wants an arc. But I think that could be fun.

I agree. Just different actor every time. Different era. And you'd have to like re-familiarize people with it. Like if you did that, you'd probably do it as like a TV show, like an anthology I guess. Yeah, maybe. Well, it is owned by Amazon but apparently they're not allowing

that to happen. Well, well, well. But we'll see. The Iron Fist of the Broccolis. Wow. Big, big green fist. That's right. Because of broccoli.

Yeah. Do you know what the second longest comic book movie of all time is soon to be, Mason? Avengers Endgame? No, that's the longest. Oh, I don't know. Soon to Be. It's Morbius.

No, it's the Batman. It's going to come in at two hours and 55 minutes, not including credits. Second longest comic book movie behind Endgame. The Hollywood Reporter have also said that they've already screened a four-hour cut. Oh. Which I think is also good news if they're trying that, which means maybe we'll get like an even, like an extended cut. And if the movie's good, I'll have an extended cut.

You know what I mean? I'll see more of this place. So, yeah, that's good. So if that's like, if they've whittled it down to three hours. Yeah. Because that's the best, you know, stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah., that's good. So if that's like, if they've whittled it down to three hours. Yeah. Because that's the best, you know, stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Then that's good.

Yeah. But also maybe this holds the potential. We could get, we get the three hour version at cinemas and we get, instead of that, you can just get the one hour that they cut out. Just nonsensical, just snippets. Yeah. Like scenes that end abruptly. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Unfinished CGI. Characters that aren't in the other version. That's right, yeah. Whatever, you know what I mean? But speaking of the Batman, Caravan of Garbage is, of course, back this Tuesday. And if you are highly anticipating all things Batman, not to give any spoilers, you might want to swing around on Tuesday

just to see what's going on, you know what I mean? That's right, yeah. No spoilers here though. Let's all have a good time and move on to... I've actually called this Shotgun Some Stuff, but that's not right. Hot Quick News. The long-awaited return. Too hot.

Too hot and very quick. Okay, so Spider-Man No Way Home has become the sixth highest grossing movie of all time. I also think it is now the spoiler time for that is over. Yes. I mean, especially. The cast are openly doing interviews. Tom, I mean, you know, Tom Holland is spoiling stuff,

which isn't normally a very good yardstick. Yeah. Because he'll spoil stuff minute one. That's right. But I think he's been, speaking of cracking the whip, Marvolo definitely cracked the whip on him. And I think, yeah, if the car- They're all doing interviews.

Yeah, yeah. That's true. It's absolutely happening. I think everywhere in the world has now had a chance to see it, which is good. Now, what were you going to say spoiler-wise? Oh, sorry. It's the sixth highest grossing movie of all time.

Not a spoiler, but I just mean we're just going to spoil it at some point. Oh, at this point. Yeah, yeah. Okay, all right. There we go. Moon Knight had a trailer. We actually did a Moon Knight book club, didn Oh, at this point. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, all right. There we go. Moon Knight had a trailer. We actually did a Moon Knight book club, didn't we? That's right, we did, yeah.

For a big sandwich where we looked at a really cool Moon Knight comic and talked a bit about the history of the character and other adaptations that they tried in live action or whatever. What did you think of the trailer? I was very excited. He thought it was cool. He was excited, everyone. I did think it was cool.

He thought it was cool. You're trying to make fun of me. I'm not making fun of you. I think you're cool too. Thanks, man. Yeah, do not. Oh, what level of sarcasm are we at? What a level.

Yeah. It looks good, you know. But as per usual, maybe we'll settle into whatever accent Oscar Isaac is doing. I think it's all right. Yeah, it's okay. I think we'll be all right with it, won't we? Yeah. It seems like they're doing.

What would you call me, Mo? What would you call me, Nat? What would you call me, Mo? Call me a different name. What would you call me, Mo? I think they're doing like. That's not my name. They're doing that song?

I remember the song. They call me Stacy. They call me Jade. That's not my name. That's not my name. The real name. Yep. Fartzilla.

That's right. That's what she was. They faded out on most radio stations. It got to the end and it just stopped and she was like, just to be clear, my full legal name is Fartzilla Huntington-Whiteley. Oh, okay. That's right, of the Huntington-Whiteleys. Really?

Jason Statham is my brother-in-law. So that song went. I didn't know that. Yeah, no, it's true. Cool. What are we talking about? I've forgotten. Moon Knight.

Oh, yeah. So cool. Looking forward to it. We probably will be doing didn't know that. Yeah, no, it's true. Cool. What were we talking about? I've forgotten. Moon Knight. Oh, yeah. So, cool. Looking forward to it. We probably will be doing recaps of that. What's interesting. Which Collings, who edited these, will hopefully do. They seem to be going, I think we mentioned this on Big Sandwich, but they seem to be going with the magic suit.

Like it's some sort of magical. Or dream sequence. Or dream sequence. We don't know. We'll find out. I love the trope of a man waking up. He driving a truck he's holding a gun oh yeah you get there that's how you get there we'll find out uh also we had confirmation of jedi fallen order 2 that was confirmed along with two other eace uh i think respawn star wars games one being a first person

shooter and they reference things like like dark and Dark Forces 2, which would be awesome because I fucking love the Dark Forces series. Wait, so did they make reference to like we're making games in those stars? Yeah, like that. Love that era. So they're not saying, okay, we're going to tie them somehow into. No.

Okay, right. I mean, there have been other Star Wars first-person shooters like Republic Commando, the new Battlefronts, and the old Battlefronts. I think you can also play in first-person. And the mid-period Battlefronts. Exactly. But that would be super cool if they did something like that.

And maybe they did a Kyle Katarn, but probably not. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And also like an XCOM-style strategy, something, something. Anyway, good. Point is also Jedi Fallen Order, good game. Yeah. That is getting a sequel, not surprised.

Also, in a huge- I mean, give us Fast Travel if you wouldn't mind. Yeah, oh yeah. Other than that, give us Fast Travel, then you've absolutely nailed it. So Pixar's turning red. You know about this one? Nope. There's a big girl turns into a big panda.

She's like the Hulk but a panda. Nope. Anyway, it's a movie. Okay, great. It's heading straight- Oh, this is not real? No, it's real. It's a real movie.

It's not a real scenario, but it's a real movie that's coming out. Not really real life. Okay, right. It's heading straight to streaming on Disney+, which would make it the third Pixar film in a row to do so. What is this? What's going on? I mean, they own Pixar, but what did they do?

Yeah. You know? Is this some sort of internal drama between the head of Pixar and the head of Disney or something? Are they looking to push because, like, they're in-house Disney animations? But, again, they own Pixar. Yeah.

But it's sort of like a separate kind of entity to animation. But they'll put out, like, Encanto and Frozen and that. But Luca, this, and I can't remember what the other one was. Because I remember an era where if you said, hey, you want to go watch a Disney movie, people would be like, not really. But if you said, do you want to watch a Pixar movie, people would be like, not really. But if you said, do you want to watch a Pixar movie, people will be like, yes.

Yay! Yay! And an ice cream. And an ice cream. No, no ice cream. And then we throw bottles off a bridge at cars. No, no, Mason. We throw bottles at batteries.

Oh, no. We're fuelled by ice cream and rage. Okay. Yeah. But what I'm saying is it's interesting that now Disney are like, like I don't know if Pixar saved Disney or like. Certainly helped. Yeah, like saved their reputation in terms of producing quality.

But it's interesting now they're like, yeah, all the, and like I don't think, I don't think we've reached the point where. I think we have. Pixar is just producing average stuff. No. I think also the other thing is that Disney stuff has definitely gotten better. Oh, that's probably true, yeah. I'd say they're probably on par a lot of this stuff.

Yeah, yeah. But there's also that point where you- Just adjusting my mic, everybody. You'd look at an animated thing that looks in the style of Pixar and you'd squint at it and go, does that have the Pixar logo on it? Oh, no, it's planes in the style of cars, but it's not Pixar. You got us. Has that universe worked?

Don't know. Don't know. Interesting. So there you go. Eternals also scored the biggest MCU movie debut on streaming. Oh, not bad. Which is interesting because Black Widow, of course, went straight to streaming in addition to theatres,

which tells me two things. One, a lot of people just didn't care to see it in the cinemas but were happy to watch it on streaming. And two, this would probably push any kind of sequel or spin-off plans that they're planning. Like it'll give them an idea of what they want to do if they haven't already decided, which they probably already have. And that Eternals juice.

That's right. But also it wasn't Black Widow originally. It was like 2499 or something. That is true also. That's interesting, yeah. Free it. Point of clicking. Point of clicking.

Free point of clicking. Do you want me to do that joke? I don't know what it is. You know, like it's not free or whatever. Oh, no people get it. Now let's do new jokes. We're doing new jokes. All new jokes.

All new jokes from now on. No callbacks. No snake eyes. None of it. Actually, we will no snake eyes, none of it. We're moving on. Oh, actually. Yeah. We will do snake eyes.

We'll have to push it to next week. We'll have to push it. We'll see if we can fit it in this week, but that's not a joke. Yeah, that's for real. That's for real. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyways, we also got our first look at Leslie Grace as Batgirl. We did, yeah.

She's wearing the Batgirl of Burnside, the kind of sort of homemade hipster looking suit. I think it looks good, yeah. It's got that jacket with the buttons across one side. Do you know what I of homemade hipster looking suit. I think it looks good, yeah. It's got that jacket that, you know, with the buttons across one side. Do you know what I'm talking about right now? Yes, I do. Good, yeah. What do you think? Good, it looks good.

You were mad about it. You told me you were mad about it. You said this is, so I don't like this, you said. I can't put my finger on it, but I don't like this. That's what you said to me. Now that's what. What I said. Oh.

Is that what you're going to say? Yeah. Yeah, I did say that. No, it looks good. Yeah. Anyways, I've just written here very briefly. Oh, sorry. I forgot. Oh, how quick. said oh is that what you're gonna say yeah yeah i did say that no it looks good yeah anyways um i've just written here very briefly uh oh oh i forgot oh how quick no no old jokes this isn't a joke this is a structure this is a serious structure structure can't be a joke this one

isn't the eiffel tower is that a joke to you, Mason? Ha-ha! I don't know. What am I defending here? I don't know. Which side am I on of this? I don't know, but I like it. Anyway, I'll get a few out of the way. Gotcha.

We had like eight so far, so that's good. Too hot. They've all been too hot. Speaking of Batgirl. I've just been here. Just hot little hands. He's got a nice cold bucket to put his hands in after each segment. There's nothing in it.

It's just a cold bucket. It's been in the fridge. Speaking of Batgirl, though, Joss Whedon, of course, who was originally working on this. Boo! Not to talk about this too much, but he came out and did a very weird. Hot quick boos. Boo! Did a very weird and personally damaging interview.

He did a lot of telling on himself, didn't he? Why did he do that? I don't know. Just take your money and go. Weird interview. Weird. Strange. I read the whole thing.

I'm like, why would you do this? This is worse. Yeah. None of this is vindicated. I mean, I guess in some sense that he did admit that he'd done some bad things, but a lot of it was like, I didn't do that. I don't think that's true. Actually, I'm nice.

If anything, everyone was mean to me. A lot of the things I did were cheeky. I'm a cheeky boy. There were a lot of women around me and I had to sleep with them. I'm like, yeah. It's like they're stealing from you if you don't. Why did he do it? I don't know.

Anyways, we also got a title for the next Lord of the Rings series, which is coming up. It's called The Rings of Power. Wow, that's Mordor hot. I guess Sauron's going to be like a person as well. Oh, yeah. That's cool. All right.

You ready to go? Wouldn't it be funny if this came out and people were like, I think I've said this before, but wouldn't it be funny if this came out and people were like, is that all right? This billion-dollar show. Yeah, that would be. It's pretty good.

Remember the old one? Remember the old one? I remember the old one. Orlando Bloom was in it. He's like, oh, I got all these. I'm shooting all the orcs and that. I got a lot of arrows. Yeah. And my axe, lot of arrows. Yeah.

And my axe, they'd say. Who? The fans. The true fans. Okay. So in what capacity? They're all discussing it. Okay.

They're in a big round table forum. Like the Council of Elrond. Every fan of the Lord of the Rings movies. Like, okay. They've been flown in at great expense to New Zealand. It's like hands across America, but it's every Lord of the Rings of the Rings movies. Like, okay. They've been flown in at great expense to New Zealand. It's like hands across America, but it's every Lord of the Rings fans of the movies. They've been flown into New Zealand. Okay. They're

near Hobbiton. Yep. And they're just discussing, they've been brought in by Amazon to discuss this new series. It's cost them a hundred million dollars to bring everybody in. And they all take a vote and they're like, yeah, remember the old one? We like that one. It it's good remember that i'm my axe i don't know if this is relevant but i was young then did you think that played a part like i was easily like amused by things very

impressionable i mean objectively still very good i think this is me talking oh are you there? I'm here. I'm a big fan. Yeah, wow. Yeah.

Anyway, do you want to talk about all the stuff coming out? Yeah. Let's start in February. That's hot quick news over? Yeah, Let's start in February. Is that where we are? Is hot quick news over? Yeah, that's over. Folks, that was hot quick news. Actually, it's not February yet, but it will be when this goes out. That's true.

No, it won't. No, it'll still be January. God damn, what's going on? Anyways, February, here's what's coming up. No looking back, James. Don't think about all the mistakes we've made. I agree. In our lives and in this episode thus far.

I like that. I like this new you. Thank you. I mean, any version of you is acceptable, but this one thus far. I like that. I like this new you. Thank you. I mean, any version of you is, like, acceptable, but this one I like. Thanks, man. That means a lot. Moonfall. Oh.

Seen it on Monday night, so I'm very excited to hit up, I think, IMAX to see the moon attack the earth. I'm just going to look at the moon. Yep. Just get into nature and look at the moon. Okay. Yeah. Well, I think you're going to have a better experience because the movie apparently isn't very good. Wow. And it's like the Independence Day people and et cetera, except it's not the mid nineties. It's now.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Patrick Wilson. He's good. Halle Berry. Very good. Won an Oscar. Third funny character probably like be like, Oh my God, this is happening.. Like, be like, oh, my God. Is this happening? Is this for real? You know, that character. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whoever it is.

Josh Gad, I don't know. Yeah, right, yeah. Do you want to check the Moonfall cast list? Please do. Find out the third funny guy. Moonfall cast third funny guy? Oh, yeah, it is. It's John Bradley who played, like, the book nerd from Game of Thrones who was Jon Snow's mate.

Who didn't burn to death in his library, as I predicted. That's right. I fucking nailed that. I mean, I saw the trailer, but you know what I mean. There's a third guy in that. There's a third guy. I saw at minimum three people in this trailer, two of whom were very famous to me and a third person.

Is this for real? Yes. Wow. Yes, I'm Patrick Wilson and this is serious. I'm Halle Berry. I'm also serious in this too. And it's me. Oh, no.

These thrusters aren't working or something. Anyway. Well, they're working too well. The moon's being pushed back too far. The moon's being flung out there. It's thrown off everybody's horoscopes. Everybody's mad at me. Is that how horoscopes work?

Yep. Great. Death on the Nile. It's coming up. Oh, yeah. And? I don't know. What?

I don't know. Yeah, that's right. Have we not covered it? That's correct. They're editing out everybody. That's the problem with ensemble movies now. They've got to edit out everybody who gets cancelled. Remember Zack Snyder replaced a whole person in his movie?

He CGI'd a whole new person into that zombie movie. Oh, yeah, the zombie movie. Yeah, yeah. Tig Notaro. Oh, my God, put Tig Notaro in three roles in Death of the Night. Put Tig in everything. She's great in Discovery. Why not?

I agree. Love Tig. That's good stuff. And, of course, then we've got my favourite, I think, my most anticipated movie for February is Uncharted. You know what I mean? They're really selling that hanging off crates bit, aren't they? Yes, that's true.

I mean. What do you mean? I mean, James, what I mean is. What do you mean? You're saying that nothing can top Prince of Persia in your mind. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay.

I mean. I think Prince of Persia was fine. You're going to swathie up Tom Holland? You going to do that? Yeah, I don't know about that. I don Prince of Persia was fine. You're going to swath the up Tom Holland? You're going to do that? Yeah, I don't know about that. I don't know about anything. Yeah. But I do know this.

Go on. The Walking Dead season finale also starts in February. Oh. So is this a series finale? This is it? Yeah, but there's like Rick spinoffs and I don't know. And then I think it's the other one. There's more than one Rick spinoff.

Is Fear the Walking Dead going? Look, if you want a really good zombie show, Black Christmas, Black Summer, what's it called? Black Summer, yeah. Yeah, incredible. Two seasons, harrowing, they just kill everybody you like. Just like, it's nuts. It's fucking insane and it's very good.

James, if you want a good zombie series, I don't. Everybody's on their phones out there. Wow. Yeah. Jeez. Yeah. Have you tweeted this? I should, shouldn't I? You could do there. Wow. Yeah. Jeez. Yeah. Have you tweeted this? I should, shouldn't I? You could do a little cartoon. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like, you know, you're standing in front of a tree or the moon and you should be looking at it. I'm not like, hey, everyone, look at the moon. But everybody's watching moon fall. It's rapidly receding for some reason. But everybody's watching moon fall on their phones and that makes you think, doesn't it? Yeah, it does. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Wow. What a world. It's 2027. And think, doesn't it? Yeah, it does. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow. What a world. And a new T-shirt? I don't know. Some of the clothes, my nice clothes, I don't wear normally when you see me because I have kids and they roll me in dirt like twice a day. So I went out today. That's why you're like, that's a clean.

Look at these fucking shoes, mate. Look how crisp these are. Oh, those are crisp. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've seen those before yeah I've seen those before I've seen those before yeah and they were crisp then

and they're crisp now that's incredible is it that one of your kids like crouches behind you and the other one like clips you in the chest in the front

and drops you onto the ground but it's not the ones you'd think no it's the infant that clips you in the air yeah we need someone sturdy to fall on. Yeah, that's true.

I'd crush my baby. Yeah, that's true. You know what I didn't anticipate in being a parent? They just roll you in dirt. You know what I did? They're trying to be. They've dug you a grave out there. They're trying to put you in a grave.

Hey, Dad, we dug you two graves. One for you and then a second one for you because we're going to cut you in half. And you're like, that's not the way it goes. And then they're like, okay, boomer. Anyways, what I didn't anticipate to being a parent is how often, I would say at least once a day, that one of your kids steps on your balls. Like it happens so much. You've definitely mentioned the ball stepping before.

To you or? I don't know. There's probably a great tweet of that. But good stuff. Anyways, let's move on to March. Moon Knight. We talked about it. Yeah.

Good and good. One a week for six weeks, eight weeks, ten weeks, hundred weeks. I hope it's six. And then, of course, we have The Batman. Very excited for The Batman. My God. That's all I have to say. But just like this could be it, Mason.

What do you mean? A good Batman movie. Oh. Again. It's been 10 years since the last one, I guess. Dark Knight? Rises. Like a solo Batman movie.

I mean, we did Snyder's stuff or whatever. Yeah, right, right, right. Did you see that article this week about Ben Affleck's version? Who are you going to say, did you see the Dark Knight Rises? I mean, vaguely. I vaguely recall it. Yeah, you vaguely remember. But I was on YouTube then.

It's all gone. But I reviewed that and everything. I had videos then. I'm like 10 years on YouTube this year. No, 11. I think I started in 2011. With this current channel? No, no, because that first one got deleted.

It's gone forever. But anyway. What happened to those videos? Are they on a hard drive somewhere? I don't have them. They're gone. They might be on an old dead computer. You know that stack of laptops?

It's probably on the bottom one. Oh, yeah. That's true. Yeah. It's probably like a Chinese version of YouTube that has them all. Yeah, probably. Anyways, so the Batman, sorry, they talked about Ben Affleck's version and apparently-

Who's they? Sorry, the guy, Matt Reeves, who's directing the new one. He said it was more kind of like Bond-esque and he was like, I want to do my own version and whatever. Right, right. Which is fair enough. So that's what he's done. Okay. Also, The's directing a new one. He said it was more kind of like Bond-esque and he was like, I want to do my own version and whatever. Right, right. Which is fair enough. So that's what he's done. Also, The Lost City is coming out.

That's the Channing Tatum, Sandra Bullock one. Oh, yeah, that looks fun. Yeah, yeah, Brad Pitt's in it. Yeah, that's cool. And that's cool. All right. Move it along. Is that your new catchphrase?

That's cool. I think we should give you a new catchphrase for the new year. Let's workshop a few. Okay, what do you got? You got something humiliating for me? I mean, I hadn't come with one prepared, but I can work on it. Please, if you could. Yeah, yeah.

April. April 1st, of course. Morbius. Perfect. I mean, we have to say it because of the Spum universe. That's true. We've got to support the Spum. Yeah.

So that's the Spider-Man universe. Imagine this, James. Big can of Spam says Spum on the side. I can imagine that. Pretty good, right? I'm loving it. I'm loving everything about it. And then the lid's open.

Yep. Jared Leto's coming out. Oh, God. Yeah. I saw a tweet today that was something like, everything we gave Jared Leto we should have given to John Leguizamo. I'm like, 100%. Yeah.

That's dead on. And then I copied it and then I just wrote it out myself. So I'm getting all the accolades. Nice. Great. That's what I do. Cool. And then you had that guy killed. And then I had that guy killed. And then I copied it, and then I just wrote it out myself. So I'm getting all the accolades. Nice, great. That's what I do. And then you had that guy killed. And then I had that guy killed, and then I got a job at Fuck Jerry.

Anyways, Sonic. Is that guy still around? Let's not look it up. It doesn't matter. He got a bunch of money, I'd imagine. Sonic 2. Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Idris Elba stepping into the role of Knuckles.

That's right. That's okay. In my eyes, it's good, I think, isn't it? And then, of course, we've got- Well, listen, I mean, you know, obviously it was not for me, but you've watched this since with your kids. Watched a couple times, yeah. Yeah. I mean, yeah, it's like a solid kids movie.

Okay, great. Great. I mean, I do love seeing James Marsden. Yeah, he's in things. He's in another show we're going to talk about in a bit. Have you seen House of Gucci yet? No. I don't think it's coming to streaming, so I haven't.

Yeah, right, right. But I will. I'll see it with my eyes. Yeah, there's a lot of stuff currently out that I'm like, oh, I should see it. I should see King's Man, but I'm not going to the cinema to see King's Man. Yes, exactly, yeah. There was that brief period where I'm like,

yeah, I'm confident in going to the cinema. I should see Scream 5, but I haven't. Nightmare Alley, I would like to see Nightmare Alley. Has that been out here? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I just shut off for January, I'm going to be honest. Yeah.

Yeah, because you got COVID. No, you got COVID. No, you got COVID, so I couldn't see any movies because you got COVID. And I was doing it to honour you. James, you got COVID. I was trapped in a car that was floating down the street, all right? Those are the two things that happened. Those are the two things we did. Those are the two things we did.

That's how we spent our summers. I put up some sails and I put out some oars. Summers as a kid were magical, but now it's just like, this is terrible. A terrible thing has happened. It's befalled me. It's not that the days are hot, it's that the nights are also hot. You just look at the, Down in Melbourne at the very least

It's always like 30 Celsius For like 7 days in a row And then it's like at night time 29 Too hot Hey the sun, what are you doing? Why are you hot at night? Is the moon doing this?

We've got to get rid of the moon Let's push it out to sea Whatever's out in space Fantastic Beasts 3 moon doing this? Must be. We've got to get rid of the moon. We've got to get rid of the moon. Let's push it out to sea, wherever it goes. Whatever's out in space. I don't know. Fantastic Beasts 3. Oh, yeah. Mike Nicholson.

I guess from this, we'll do that Harry Potter episode that people keep banging on about. Last two. We're going to knock off those last two Harry Potters. And we're done. Yeah. And we're retiring from Harry Potter. Then we could redo it. Then we could do three Fantastic Beasts movies in a row.

Oh, God, yeah. I mean, I guess then we do Caravan of Garbages, I guess. Yeah, yeah. I don't know. I don't know, man. You know, like J.K. Rowling, I'm like. And there's so many good people that, like, did work on those. Like, I watched that special that they did or whatever.

Oh, yeah. And I'm like, so many delightful friendships and really talented people work on this. Why you J.K. Rowling? Everybody was secretly in love with everybody else. Yeah, like, why is J.K. Rowling, like, secretly in love with everybody else while they were filming. Yeah, like why is J.K. Rowling like laser focused on this? Like why are you doing it? Anyway, whatever.

Then we've got The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. Yes. That's the Nicolas Cage movie where he plays himself where he goes to a private island because a guy hires him because he's bankrupt and the guy's a big Nicolas Cage fan and he has to reenact all his movies or something. Yes. And what's his name in it?

I was going to say Oscar Isaac, but not him. No. The other one. Pedro Pascal. I say that because they're brothers maybe. I don't know. They seem to get along. They seem to get along.

In a way that brothers might. Yeah, that's right. Exactly. It's really nice. I like nice things. They did a, Ethan Hawke and Oscar Isaac did a little video where they watched the Moonlight trailer. I didn't watch that.

What was that like? I mean, it was just them going, ooh. We're in this. Yeah. That's me. Hey, look, that's us. Hey. That's us.

That must be nice when you're like, you're acting after all these years and you see yourself in a thing. You're like, that's us. That's us. Look at me. Yeah. Look at me doing this. No, look at you.

No, look at you. I'm right next to me. Mate. Oh, you're here as well. Are we in a movie now? You're filming this. Do we have to watch this later? Who are these guys? It's them. Because they're

being filmed. This is us. Anyways, Kenobi. Before Sunrise? Maybe Kenobi in May. They reckon maybe for Star Wars Day. Who's been casting this recently? The dude who played Day. Is it? Who's been cast in this recently? The dude who played Han, isn't it?

No, no, yeah. The man on Gianni, isn't it? Okay. Who's it? Owen Lars. No. Ewan McGregor's actual wife. What's her name again?

Oh, Mary Elizabeth Winstead. She's in something. Yeah, she's in a Star Wars thing coming out. Ahsoka? Ahsoka. Right. That's cool. But is she going to be Obi-Wan Kenobi's real wife, secret wife?

Oh, my God. I would love to have a secret wife. Because in a way, she's his secret wife. I mean, unless they age her up, she's too old. She'd be too young. But then again, he's an old dog, you know what I mean? Yeah, I know. You know, he gets a bit lonely out in the desert and et cetera.

You know what? You know you're an old dog. Well, of course I know. That's me. An old dog, a dirty dog. I'm a dirty dog. Hello there. I don't like this. I'm a dirty dog. Hello there. I don't like this Kenobi.

I don't like it. Do you think I could ruin your expectations for Obi-Wan Kenobi by the time it comes out? Bit of creep. By being dirty old Obi-Wan Kenobi. Peeping Ben Kenobi. Ah, yes please. I think there was a weekly letter posted on it already.

I'm looking forward to less Tatooine because it's Tatooine City, mate, at the moment. It really is, yeah. And that's also interesting because I think they have done some interesting stuff with the Tuscans or whatever. I don't mind Boba Fett. A lot of people are kind of down on it, but I don't mind it. Anyways, Doctor Strange in Look at All These Cameos,

that's also going to be that month. Excited? Yes. How many cameos are we going to get? 100. Yep, I agree, 100. A crisp 100 cameos. That's a good amount of cameos.

They're going to count them off in the screen. They've gotten the Adobe Premiere file from CinemaSins and they've changed the text to number of cameos and they've put the ding in. And they put it also at the top of the movie because you know what you're getting. You know what you're here for. It's not going to be a surprise.

These are the cameos. Here we go. Then we've got DC League of Super Pets. Oh, yeah. That's an all-star cast as well. Yeah, cool. I'll take my kid to that. I wouldn't go to see that, but I will.

I'll take him to see that. Then we've got the Bob's Burgers movie. I'm still on season one. I'm liking it, but I got sidetracked watching other television and Mason got COVID. I had to send him some care packages. I will never get COVID and I will never die. And I didn't send you care packages? If I got COVID, why didn't you send him some care packages. I didn't get COVID, I will never get COVID and I will never die. And I didn't send you care packages?

If I got COVID, why didn't you send me any care packages? Because you'd float down the river in that car. I was on my way to the supermarket and then I caught in that tidal wave. Fair enough. Bob's Burgers fan? Yes. It's pretty funny, yeah. I like it. And then we've got

Top Gun Loser, which is probably coming out this year. I guess it has to because every other got Top Gun Loser. Yeah. Which is probably coming out this year. I guess it has to because every other Tom Cruise movie has been shifted away from it, it turns out. Otherwise people might forget household name, Tom Cruise. I would never forget Tom Cruise. Maybe like Tom Who's. No one would say that.

Tom Whomst. Tom Whomst. I don't like that. I mean, it's better than Ben, Creepy Ben Kenobi, but anyway. Dune. This is interesting for me because we're probably going to do the Jurassic Park movies for Caravan of Garbage. And so we're getting Jurassic World Dominion. Yeah, yeah.

And you famously have said that all the Jurassic Park movies are the same. And that is not true. And we're going to do the first three at least. Okay. And we're going to prove that that's not true. Okay. And you're going to make sure that you know that. See, right.

All right. Okay. All right. We're going to make sure. Fine. My one remaining controversial opinion will be quashed. Good. For the sake of content. I'll do it.

I love that. Then we've got Lightyear. Yeah. Very excited for that one. Do you see also because Chris Evans is Buzz Lightyear, Yeah. Very excited for that one. Do you see also because Chris Evans is Buzz Lightyear and Tim Allen is doing a Santa Claus sequel series on Disney Plus

where he's 60 and he has to retire. I thought he was immortal. What's going on? Great question. What the fuck's going on in that universe? There'll be another Santa Claus at the end of the contract or whatever. Yeah, but, like, come on. Oh.

You should get, like, if they make you, like, overweight and old, they should let you do that for, like, come on. Oh. You should get, like, if they make you, like, overweight and old, they should let you do that for, like, at least 200 years. Maybe it's said 200 years in the future in the Mad Max universe or something. I don't know. Maybe. Oh, I'm so tired of delivering these presents. I mean, on the one hand, there's far fewer good girls and boys.

Yeah. It's mostly war boys, if I'm honest. Sure. And not good, yeah. So there's fewer people to deliver to, but it's hot out there. It's hot as heck. Yeah. Yeah.

Anyways. That man threw a big spear at Rudolph and it hit Rudolph in the head and then it exploded. Also, I did the story alone where I built a robot again. I did that one. Oh, yeah. You know what I mean? You know what I mean, everyone?

Yeah. Look at the camera. Tim Allen doesn't care at this point. Then we have, speaking of Ethan Hawke, the black phone. So Scott Derrickson, who did the first Doctor Strange, and then he was going to do the second, but he moved away. He got his start in horror movies. Yeah, I've seen the trailer for this.

It looks very creepy. I don't recall specifically what happens in the trailer, but I do remember very icky. Oh, there's a woman trapped in a room. Yeah, or a kid. A kid trapped in a room and on the phone she's getting calls from previous murder victims. Is that right?

Yeah, who are helping her out. They're trying to help her escape the room. Love that idea. Yeah, right. That's cool. And that's also a good idea for an escape room. The guy who worked at Spill something, Carlisle something, he wrote it as well.

Cool. Remember spill.com? No. It's goodill something, Carlisle something. He wrote it as well. Cool. Remember Spill.com? No. It's good stuff. Anyways. Do you remember SuperDeluxe.com? What was that one again? That was the one that had all those Brad Neely cartoons.

Oh, yeah. Remember those guys? He never got, like, he's still working. Yeah, yeah. But he didn't get, like, his Rick and Morty yet. No, that's true, yeah. But I think he will. Very good, that guy.

Yeah. Professor Brothers. Washington. Washington. Which I think was the real precursor, that guy. Yeah. Professor Brothers. Washington. Washington. Which I think was the real precursor to Hamilton. You might be right. I think that's where the inspiration came from. That's very interesting.

You might be right. They should have slipped it into Hamilton. Just a very rude song. Just a rude song about George Washington. Also, Elvis. Baz Luhrmann's Elvis. Oh, yeah, cool. You in?

Sure. I'm not. Okay, yeah, cool. You in? Sure. I'm not. Okay. Nah, why not? I guess by necessity it's going to be a jukebox musical of sorts. Probably. Okay. And then we've got The Boys.

It's coming back. Season three of The Boys. And what's interesting about that is Jensen Ackles is playing like the Captain America type thing. Correct, yes. And other things going on. And apparently he has a lot of the ideals of like the 1940s, so basically he's a big racist.

Oh, I see, right. So, you know, that's how that goes. I didn't watch it yet, but I got the box set of Banshee, which is the TV series that Anthony Starr was in before. And what's that about? It's about he's a criminal on the run and he takes the identity of the sheriff that is heading to the town of Banshee. And he's like, well, I'm going to take this identity.

Because the sheriff's dead? Yes. Okay. Yeah, and he's like, I'm going to do some crimes but also be a sheriff. Is it set in the past? No. Is it set in the past? No. Is it set in the modern day?

It's like, where's your driver's license? And he's like, oh, no. Oh, it's like an Amish town apparently. Okay, there you go. But anyway, it's like very brutal and bloody. Cool. But I've heard it's good. And still going?

No. Cancelled. Yes. Okay. He was also in Auntie Donna's Big Old House of Fun. He was, it's true. And if anybody at Netflix is listening, you're going to grin like that? I watch it like five times.

Right, same. And not just because I want them to get it, or it is that, because I like watching it. It's very funny. God damn it. Anyways, makes me mad how funny it is, Mason. Boo, those boys. Yeah, boo to them.

Next up in July, we've got Minions, Rise of Gru. Didn't that happen already? Didn't they do that one? No, it's happening. It's going to happen. They did it, though. They did got Minions, Rise of Gru. Didn't that happen already? Didn't they do that one? No, it's happening. It's going to happen. They did it though. They did a Minions prequel, but that wasn't called – it was just called Minions.

Oh. They're funny. I feel like they've done this. You don't know. You should check your facts again. I think they've done this numerous times. They've done this 100 times. I'm going to check your bloody facts.

I'll tell you that much. I'm going to check your facts. It's just me giving you the moon. Yeah, it comes out in July 2022. There is a movie called Minions. Yes. That also came out. Okay.

There was a very funny tweet. You know what I think what they should do with the Minions? What's that? Memes. Oh, you think so? They'd be ripe for memes. But just put them in anything. Just put them in anything.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No context. No context at all. Okay. It's like support our troops and then there's Minions. You know? So I got my coffee. Minions. I saw a very funny tweet from Brian Lynch who wrote Minions

and among other things. Oh, yes. He wrote, I'm going to see if I can find it. It's me, Brian Lynch. Minions. How about that? Eh? Here it is. I found it. It's from October of 2020. It's me, Brian Lynch. Minions. How about that? Eh? Here it is. I found it. It's from October of 2020.

It's from Brian Lynch. He said, One time a lady on my block asked me what I did, and I said I wrote movies, and she said, Anything I've seen? And I said, A movie called Minions? And she said, I don't know what that is. I don't have kids. And I said, Ah, but you knew it was for kids, and we haven't

talked since. So she tried to be like, no, I don't know what that is. Ah, that's great. Love it. Anyways, then it's the- Ah, when you say you've never heard of Minions and you say it's for kids. Minions. That's the meme. Oh, that's good.

And the- It's got a Y. And it's wine o'clock or whatever. It's wine o'clock and it's also wine o'clock. And the Minions, the Minions drinking a tea and a wine. Yeah, yeah. It's like, hmm. Perfect, perfect.

Quizzical Minion. Quizzical Minions. Thor Love and Thunder. Yes. There we go. Very exciting. Is that your biggest Marvel movie of the year, most anticipated? Probably.

Hmm. Yeah. Let's think about it. Then we've got Black Adam right after that. That's interesting. And then in August, guess what's coming out? Yeah. Let's think about it. Then we've got Black Adam right after that. That's interesting. And then in August, guess what's coming out? Arnold Schwarzenegger, Super Bowl.

No, Mason, it's blank. It's a blank month at the moment. Blank month? What's nothing? Nothing big anyway. Now, what month did you say, October? August. August.

There will be something. There'll be some Star Wars, more Marvel TV or something. Just filling in the gaps here, mate. Just filling in the gaps. September, we've got Puss in Boots, The Last Wish, which is like crazy to me because I'm like, oh, the Shrek universe is still going. Shit.

Oh, it is? Yeah. There wasn't a turn there. You won't be like, no, this is a reboot. Shrek's happening. So that's cool. Also the last one. First one, Puss in Boots.

It's a good character. It's like Zorro, but he's a cat. Yeah, yeah. That's cool. Next up, we've got the Lord. It's a good character. It's like Zorro, a busy cat. Yeah. That's cool. Next up, we've got the Lord of the Rings TV series. Biggest show of all time. Something,

something. Probably, probably all right. Yeah. October. Hocus Pocus 2. All right. What was Hocus Pocus 1?

Like, it was like Carrie Bradshaw and like Bette Midler and they were witches and it was like the 80s and like Bette Midler and they were witches and it was like the 80s or something and it's Halloween night and something. Oh, that's Hocus Pocus. Yeah.

Okay, great. So this is a sequel to that? Yeah, it's like a Disney Plus thing I think, I believe. Then we've got Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse. Uh-oh. Uh-oh indeed. Followed by, speaking of uh-oh, Halloween Ends, hopefully. Fingers crossed.

Fingers crossed. So hopefully they can pull something out for that. I mean, it'll be the movie that the last one should have been. Yeah. If anything's going to be a complete finale, I mean, why am I saying that? They should have made it mostly a prequel, that last one, of like the night he got away. Yeah, right, right.

Because that part I found very interesting. Also, as people have sent in, that was a Loomis, like they make up to do to make him look like Loomis. Ah, I see. Loomis? I don't know. That's incredible. Yeah.

Good stuff. What would you accept as a definitive end? What would be a satisfying end? Like not that we particularly love this franchise or anything like that. Well, that was going to be my answer. I don't care at all. Okay, right. But a satisfying ending?

I don't know. I mean, I think. How do these things ever end? They don't is the answer. I think they just have to like. Actually, H2O when they beheaded him. I was going to say it'll have to end with a beheading. It wasn't him and whatever.

Yeah, it'll have to be a beheading and then his head rolls out of the mask and they're like, that's definitely the guy. Yeah, that's the guy. That's his weird eye because he got his eye poked with a coat hanger. Anyways, let's get him on our podcast, which is how this whole thing started. That's right. Next up we have in November... The cause and solution to all life's problems.

Correct. Podcasts. The Flash. Yeah. I don't know if you saw this, but Ezra Miller recently took to social media to denounce a very specific sect of the KKK, which is good. Agreed. But it also was a little like, what is this going on?

That's standard Warner Brothers movie promotion. He had the Flash ring on and all, so I can't imagine Warner Brothers would be too happy, even though he is denouncing the KKK. But, yeah. I think the flash fighting the KKK would be amazing. I think the flash fighting the KKK would be amazing. I think the flash fighting the KKK would be amazing.

Just tear it into pieces. That would be funny. But, like, is he okay? I mean, like, first of all, is the KKK going after him? Secondly, is he some kind of like having a breakdown? What is this? I don't know. Anyway, I can't imagine Warner Brothers are happy regardless

of what is going on there. Anyway, I don't think I have to. And also M&M's, watch out. Ezra Miller is going to get you. Is he? Yeah. M&M. No, the M&M's.

Oh. Yeah. Because of that. No, the M&Ms. Oh. Yeah. Because of that green M&M? Because they're not sexy enough anymore. They're not sexy anymore. Enough. Yeah, so Ezra Miller is going to punch him. So you did find them sexy though?

No. Your words though. Yeah, no, that's true. That's fair. That's right. No old jokes. No old jokes. We just admit the weird things that we love, that we find sexy.

Yeah. And we move on. Then we've got Black Panther, Wakanda Forever. Very interesting. Tig Notaro is in this as well. And Ant-Man and the Wasp. Tig Notaro is surey now. Yeah.

So Evangeline Lilly was in an anti-vax something, something, whatever. I don't think it was strictly anti-vax. It was more like you can choose to get it or whatever. We're asking questions. We're just asking questions. Sure, yeah. That's all fine and normal, isn't it, Mason? So anyway, Black Panther, Wakanda Forever.

I just want to hear the Wasp talk about the time she met Taylor Dayne. That's all. That's right. So Black Panther, Wakanda Forever, though, it's going to be very interesting to see how they pull any of this off, who takes on the mantle, where they go moving forward and so forth. Where are they now production-wise? Good question.

They film stuff? They film stuff. Yeah, I think it's on hold at the moment because maybe someone got COVID again or something, but it hopefully will be done by November, I would say. And following it up with that, we've got, speaking of Black Panther, because the director of Black Panther, Ryan Coogle, who directed the first in this franchise, Creed 3.

Oh. Also Michael B. Jordan, also in Black Panther, and Black Panther Wakanda Forever, apparently. But Creed 3 is directed by Michael B. Jordan. And apparently it's Rocky 3. Creed 3, Rocky 3. Very nice. Which is fine, because Rocky finished up his story.

And all the E's are 3s. Yes, that's right. All in Creed 3 and Rocky 3. Wouldn't. Which is fine because Rocky finished up his story. And all the E's are threes. Yes, that's right. All in Creed 3 and Rocky Free. Wouldn't that be Creed 33? It'd be Creed 3,333, I think. Yeah, okay. Unless we're saying, unless three, the word three is written as a word and the E's in that are also threes.

Okay, that's fine. So that makes for a very confusing marketing campaign. Agreed. That's what we want. A three. A three, exactly. We all look three-ed about all of that. So Creed 3, though, kind of didn't expect it.

How did Creed 2 end? He won. Nice. And then Rocky went and saw his son. Nice. Fucking absolute amazing ending. Loved it. Rocky was like, can I come in?

This is my son. You look just like a grandma. Look at me. I'm Rocky. I'm actually just between you and me. I'm the actor Sylvester Stallone. Just look at me. I'm real.

Tell me I'm real. Do I look real? This is not me getting off on people telling me I'm real. I just need to know. I need to know. Yes, Sylvester, I think you're real. Guilty. You're guilty.

You're coming with me. What? Get in the car. Oh, I like this guy. Stallone confused by reality. He's making his own reality TV show, but he doesn't understand reality. And he's also Judge Dredd. Is his son still Milo Ventimiglia?

Yeah, he was. Okay, great. Love him. This is a stupid show. Disagree. This is an anchor of Samus E. James. That's what this show is. And then in December,

Super Mario Bros. is coming at the end of December. Excited to see that, I think. But Avatar 2 and Aquaman both come out on December 16th. Whoa. What is that about? Who's going to flinch? And that's interesting. Both water something.

Both water something, but also both James Cameron adjacent. Oh, that's true. Because James Cameron, of course, was going to do an Aquaman at some point, allegedly. No, that was Entourage. Oh, no, not real. That was Entourage. You likes to load up confused reality with television.

Was James Cameron in an episode of Entourage? Yeah, he was. He does appear in it eventually. We did it. We did a forgotten garbage. We've done one episode of Caravan of Garbage, and it's that one. Yeah.

And we did the Entourage movie episode. God damn it, HBO Max. If you can bring back Sex and the City, bring back Entourage. Yeah. I want to make fun of it again. You call it Oh Yeah. You call it Oh Yeah. And then, like, I don't know, they all come back except one.

It can be Turtle. That's fine. We don't need him. We don't need him. Turtle had to go back to his home planet. That's right. What would you call it, though? I would call it...

Drama? Oh, yeah, drama could work. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. No, what's his name? What's Adrian Grenier's name? I don't know. Vinnie Chase.

Yeah, no. No, I'd call it We Run This Town, Bro. Or Bitches? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. It's fine. Either way.

Yep, that's good. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, so... Or Vin It's fine. Either way. Yep, that's good. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Or Vinny's died. Vinny's died. No, that's the plot. That's not the title.

Oh, and what do they do? They're just moping around Hollywood. I mean, they're all rich, though, which takes a shot off. Okay, they've lost all their money on NFTs. Yeah. Oh, good. And Vinny Chase has died. Yeah. So they're just like. But then itTs. Yeah, oh, good. And Vinny Chase has died. Yeah.

So they're just like. But then it turns out at the end, he's not dead. And all their NFTs are worth a billion dollars. So they're even richer than before. Yeah, perfect. And they run this town, bro. They run this town, bro. And the end titles are just them as gorillas, gorilla NFTs.

Perfect. I'm sure you saw that Fallon clip with Paris Hilton. Yeah, it looked like an episode of Black Mirror. What? That's why Charlie Brooker has stopped doing Black Mirror, I think. The fuck is happening? Because he can't top anything anymore. And it just snowballed all of a sudden. Yeah, didn't it?

Did you feel like that? Like the reality just went, oh, Black Mirror, hey, let's just get exponentially weirder over the span of a year are you saying you don't believe in the in the actual foundation technology behind nfts and cryptocurrency that is the future of transactions i'm saying james tax free you fuck i'm saying james i'm saying, James, I'm saying. Look, it should be better. Like if this is the future, can we see something good, please? No.

No. It's just fucking, like why apes? Why? What are we doing? How did this get here? Great question. Anyway. That being said, I would love to see someone draw us as NFT apes.

I think that would be really funny. I want them. But only me. Just you. I own it. Oh, I see. Right. Okay.

Yeah. Yeah. If somebody makes it, we won't sell it. I mean, nobody would buy it. And look, if you can turn a profit on this, if you can trick some fucking rube into buying something that's literally worth nothing. Yeah. A rich rube, I should say, yeah. Good on you.

But like, come on. What are we doing? And I know it's like, is it that different from like a car, like a classic car or a baseball card? Or a baseball bat. Yeah, but that's like to me, it's like that's a thing that you'd want, a physical thing that you want. Hell yeah.

Yeah. Or a flooded car. Or a flooded classic car. Does anybody want. Hell yeah. Yeah. Or a flooded car. Or a flooded classic car. Does anybody want a flooded car? Does anybody want a flooded car? Classic car, I've minted it. You don't get it. Yeah.

You just get a link. And I tell you a story about it. Look. Both John Lennon's kids. Yeah. I think he only has two kids. Yeah. But he knows about them.

Oh, mate. They've both done NFTs recently. And Julian Lennon's one is just, it's like John Lennon memorabilia. Okay. You don't actually get the memorabilia. You get Julian Lennon telling you a story about the memorabilia. So it's like he's a funny. So he keeps the thing.

Yeah. So it's like you pay for it and then Julian Lennon's like, here's a funny story about John Lennon's fur coat. Great. See, that's really strange like for a lot of reasons. But like I can like get my head around you get a physical thing and you have the digital rights. But then I'm also like, well, why do you have the digital rights then,

I guess, if you have the physical thing? And I can also get around the idea of... You know who started this? That woman who told the song You're So Vain and what it's about. She told one person it wasn't a physical thing. It was a right yeah she did this yeah it's a woman's fault i knew it but uh i i also don't like i don't oppose the idea of you know how they do like a charity thing and it's like you have you you have dinner with daniel craig and you have a chat or whatever or like even like i mean he'd oppose it he would definitely doesn't want to do it yeah but uh

but like tarantino has done the one where he like – his NFTs are secrets about the movie Pulp Fiction and he's getting sued by Miramax or something for that. But also he might own the scripts or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But like I don't oppose the idea of like maybe a charity auction and then you have a chat with Quentin Tarantino, you ask him questions or whatever.

But it's like it doesn't have to be a – the NFT is just the novelty element of it. Anyway. Anyway, I guess currency is fake anyway, so what the fuck. Whoa, what? Yeah, whoa, the economy, you know. It's just made up, man. Don't you even know?

I mean, I know I sound like that's obviously like true. It's like it's a cliche to say that. But everything is nonsense. Anyway, nobody email in. Yeah, fuck off. Economist log off. But anyway, but also if people want to check out Dan Olsen of Folding Ideas has a video.

I am making my way through that. It's very dense. Yeah, have you made it all the way through? Yeah. Yeah, it's good. Anyways, what's going to win? Aquaman 2? Aquaman 2, yeah.

Aquaman 2 or Avatar 2? That is a great question because Aquaman has, Aquaman 1 is the closest to present day. Yep, and you have to see Aquaman 2 to understand Fast 10. That is a great question because Aquaman has, Aquaman 1 is the closest to present day. Yep, and you have to see Aquaman 2 to understand Fast 10. That's true. Why is Jason Momoa's character in Fast 10 so soggy? I don't know. Do you think he was born soggy?

Is that Maso's car he's driving? Oh, no. You son of a bitch. Give me back my undriveable car. I got a new car, guys. It's okay. I got a new car guys it's okay so that's cool but Avatar 2

like again like you couldn't rule out James Cameron yeah and maybe people are like maybe there'll be like a groundswell of like nostalgia

and people are going to watch Avatar 1 again I think we will see that this year and there's a new first person something happening no I think

and look we're going to watch it again probably for Caravan of Garbage and I'm interested to be like, what do I think of this 10 years on a TV? How does the visual effects hold up and so on and so forth? Yeah, probably very well, but we'll have to see on December 16th. Yeah.

Interesting. Anyway, one of those could move to August when nothing is happening. Oh. Here's some TVs and movies that have no date, and by TVs and movies I mean one movie and the rest are TVs. Terrific. Clerks 3. Cool. Great. I am lookingific. Clerks 3. Cool.

Great. I am looking forward to Clerks 3. Yeah. Mason. All right. You like the Clerks movies, don't you? I do, actually, yeah. And then we've got Anne.

Who do you think will be back? Everyone's back. Randall. Everyone's back. Dante. Everyone's back. Rosario Dawson. She's back.

Is she? Yep. Huh. Good for her. Good for her. Anne Dore. Kevin Smith's wife. Is she back?

Jennifer Schwalbach yes I don't know yes let's say Kevin Smith's daughter is she going to be in it she'll be in it probably Ralph Garman

he's always in all of his stuff nice the Garman GPS system that dude that new kid who was in but now he's probably

an old man he worked at the cow restaurant. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Nice. He liked Lord of the Rings. Terrific. Anyways.

Yeah. Justin Long. Sure. Ben Affleck. My name is Earl. All of them. Yep. Anyways.

Chris Rock. Alanis Morissette. Ooh. Anyways. Andor. A lot of people in those movies. I agree. It was the 90s. There were a lot of people in the 90s. Andor. Yes. Cassian Andor A lot of people in those movies I agree It was the 90s There were a lot of people in the 90s

Andor Yes Cassian Andor Sure? Okay Halo There was a trailer There'll be a trailer probably

His name's Andor If you ever think about that I think about it all the time Actually I thought about it just then Halo There was a trailer We haven't seen it Because we were recording this

Before the trailer came out But Halo? Halo Yeah House of the Dragon That out. But Halo? Halo. Yeah. House of the Dragon. That guy's name is Halo. Halo. Can you imagine?

And or Halo. Yeah, right. House of the Dragon? Those guys would never get along. I agree. What's House of the Dragon again? Game of Thrones. Oh, pretty cool sidequel thing.

Here we go. And he says? Probably going to drag on. Is that where we're going with that? Yeah, probably. Probably go for a few years. Ms. Marvel. That's probably coming out this year. Probably coming out this year. I want to see what her powers are where we're going with that? Yeah, probably. Probably go for a few years. Ms. Marvel. That's probably coming out this year.

Yeah, probably coming out this year. I want to see what her powers are. What's going on there? Here's one I think I am the most excited about. Are you stretchy or are you not stretchy? Let's find out. We'll find out. That's on the poster.

Is she stretchy or not stretchy? We'll find out. Is she like a bit of used gum? Yes. The Marvel show that I'm most looking forward to is probably She-Hulk. Yeah, same. Because it looks different. I mean, Moon Knight looks really cool, but, like, you know,

we've had Daredevil and whatever. We've had hallway fights before. Yeah, yeah, but She-Hulk. We've never had bloody law court fights, have we? Well, Daredevil again, but. Yeah, but no actual fights. Not a fight. Not a fight, not a full-on fist fight.

Yeah. Yeah. Not a big-time punch-up. I mean, we watched that Lou Ferrigno movie and that happened. That's right. Yeah. Look, okay, we've certainly had, you know, a big green man approach as like a guard in a law court

and then a series of, you know. Slow motion. Slow motion and various cables and various like on-set crew lift the man up and hurl him across the screen. We've never had actual fights. You're absolutely right. And that was a dream. Yeah.

The Sandman. That series is coming to, I want to say Netflix. Apparently the, we probably even did an ad for it. I meant to listen to it. The audio book for The Sandman, it's got like James McAvoy and various others. Apparently it's very good. Very good.

Next we've got Star Trek Strange New Worlds. So that is the Captain Pike prequel series, I believe. Then we've got Stranger Things Season 4. Then we've got Umbrella Academy Season 3. It's going to be interesting to see how they address the Elliot page. I don't think they are. They're just going to like just roll on. I think Elliot is going to remain playing Vanya.

Okay. And they're not going to make it a thing. All right then. Then we've got West, that's acting. Then we've got Westworld season. First time we've seen her on Netflix, some actual acting. Wow, Mason. That's right.

Didn't you even watch The Witcher? I watched Extraction, yes. Oh, you did? Yeah, I didn't watch The Witcher. Okay. Well, there's The Witcher Blood Origin. And The Witcher Blood Orange. That's right.

Then we've got. It's a refreshing beverage. I do enjoy a blood orange. And the Witcher blood orange. That's right. It's a refreshing beverage. I do enjoy a blood orange. Not the actual fruit as much. Westworld season four. Yes. Now that marks the end of my Westworld running gag. Not a joke, actually.

That's why we keep doing it. Because some would say, you said earlier, all fresh gags, no old gags. So you should probably stop it now. Not a joke, though. I'm committed to it. That's true. It's definitively not a joke. A commitment is not a joke. committed to it. That's true. It's definitively not a joke. A commitment is not a joke.

You admitted it's not a joke. And a commitment is not a joke. Do you call my marriage a joke, Mason? Yeah. Okay. Always, every time. To your face, to your wife's face, to your kid's face. I'm like, hey, kids.

Stop rolling him in the dirt for a second. I've got something to say. That's right. And then we've got- You know how you don't respect your dad? Well, here's something to not respect him further. And then we've got The Mandalorian Season 3, probably, your dad. Well, here's something to not respect him further. And then we've got The Mandalorian Season 3 probably, I guess. Minus the episode they've shoved into.

Yeah, so it'll be eight as opposed to. Or they put a Book of Boba Fett episode in Season 3 of The Mandalorian. It's just in the back there or whatever. Did you see the movie when the big Wookiee grabbed him? No. That was crazy, man. I've seen a still of the big Wookiee. It's the guy from the comics.

From the comics. That's it. The guy from the comics. All crazy, man. I've seen Estella the Big Wookie. It's the guy from the comics. From the comics. That's it. The guy from the comics. All right, Mason. I do enjoy the fact that Big Bacta underpants have come back, though. I respect those. They're Big Bacta in a big way, aren't they? What's the movie then?

Yes. Or can it be a TV show? You can watch one thing this year. Only one thing. And why is it Jurassic World Dominion? It's not Jurassic World Dominion. It's She-Hulk probably. Yeah.

Because I like that Tatiana Maslany. She's great in everything. Also, whenever I say this, it always, I can't even remember, but the thing that I end up actually, like, there's normally something not on this list, which is my favourite thing and whatever. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

But for me at the moment, it's probably Kenobi. Or Batman. Or. Go on. Actually, the black phone looks really good. Or. Like Doctor Strange looks cool, but I'm kind of not like. Yeah.

I think I probably will be more excited when they kind of gear up. Let's say Kenobi. I'm cautiously optimistic for Multiverse of Mandus only because I don't want it to turn into just, again, cameo. Yeah. Cameo palooza. Just an absolute. This is what you like, isn't it? It is what I, cameo. Yeah. Cameo palooza, just an absolute, this is what you like, isn't it? It is what I like, though.

Yeah. Currently, Tobey Maguire is going to be in it as well. That's the rumor, et cetera. And there you go. And now he has to be. Now he has to be because somebody thought it. Yeah. All right, should we move on to the next segment?

Yes. It's time for. What we're reading. What we're going to read. I'm doing the thing. Like that? Big year of enthusiasm. How far.

Hang on Okay Westworld Nice I was going to say Normally you operate at about 40% When you had COVID How do you feel? What percentage do you think you were at?

Here's the thing about the COVID thing Like it didn't really hit me that hard But everybody I know who doesn't have kids Is like oh I lay down for a week I'm dying or whatever Yeah right right right And like we're all vaccinated here We're like 95% or whatever So that for a week, I'm dying, or whatever. Yeah, right, right. And, like, we're all vaccinated here at, like, 95% or whatever.

So that made a big difference. But it seems as if, like, you know, everyone I know who had kids who got it just carried on. Just carried on, yeah, right. Not because they're, like, we're heroes. I mean, in many ways, a parent is the greatest hero and job you could possibly do. Yeah, except in many ways Iron Man is the best hero.

No, he's not. He's a drunk. But then again, so are parents. That's true. That's interesting.. But then again, so are parents. That's true. That's interesting. But, you know, because you just have to keep going. So it's like would I have lay in bed for a week?

Probably if I could have. Anyway. For what percentage? I don't care about your feelings and your thoughts. Give me a number. It probably took me down to like 25. Whoa. Yeah, and I was still doing a little bit of work because, you know,

because you can't – I was still putting out some content. That's true. Repackaging some old ropes on YouTube. Yeah, yeah I was still doing a little bit of work because, you know, I was still putting out some content. That's true. Repackaging some old ropes on YouTube. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love the comments. You just mucked out the content stables. Some of these do really well. Like that Fantastic Four compilation is at like 325,000 views.

Whoa. And that's cool. I should do that more often, just put a bunch of old crap together. Sure, yeah. Anyway, it just keeps the YouTube algorithm You can call it Caravan of Garbage Old Crap Edition.

Exactly. How's the Boba Fett one doing? Yeah, it's got 226. That's doing all right for something that's already been released. Oh, here's a piece of news that we didn't mention.

Oh, yeah. Microsoft bought Activision Blizzard. They did too. For like $100 billion. $70 billion? Yeah. Bobby Kotick was probably beyond the out, I'd imagine,

the guy who runs it. Or they're sticking around. I don't think they'd want him. Yeah, yeah. They own it now and fuck him. Yeah. He's the worst. He's out and they just wanted Space Quest.

Yep. So now they've got Space Quest. Which one's Space Quest? It was a point-and-click adventure from like the 90s. There was a bunch of them. Okay. 80s and 90s. 80s and 90s. He played a space janitor named Okay. 80s and 90s. 80s and 90s.

You played as Space Janet and named Roger Wilker. Mm-hmm. Yeah, anyway, Activision owns it. Oh, good. So now Microsoft owns it. Now Microsoft owns it. Yeah. Apparently they're still going to let Call of Duty

and all that go on other platforms because that works well for the brand and you can cross-play and stuff. Yeah, right, right, right. You know what I mean? I think this is a new era of gaming, Mason. Yes. And NFTs because I don't know if you've seen that

but a lot of companies are like, do you like garbage? You know how everyone who makes decisions in gaming companies, like the marketing decisions and how to package games, is that we're all garbage? We're all garbage people. Anyway, some more garbage. Imagine if you had a sword, you're like your sword in a game,

you would just put it in another game. Imagine if you had an NFT of the sword, you could just put the sword in another game. That'd be amazing. Yeah. I mean, it's completely infeasible. And why would you do it? Why would another game let you put a different sword in your game?

They wouldn't? But what if the game, what if the sword had a completely game-breaking element in a different game? You could just put it in. Has the technology advanced that far? No. But imagine. Imagine. I'm just saying imagine. Anyways, this is the segment. Imagine you just put it in. Has the technology advanced that far? No. But imagine. Imagine.

I'm just saying imagine. Anyways, this is the secret. Imagine you just had an avatar. You could put it in Call of Duty, but then you could take it and you put it in, I don't know, Kingdom Hearts or something. But I wouldn't, though. Would I? No, but somebody.

But you could, though. But I can't. You could, though, if Disney just decided they just, in transferring your character from Call of Duty to Kingdom Hearts, it would just magically transform into the art style of Kingdom Hearts somehow, automatically somehow. I hate how NFTs have dated this episode. Right?

I mean, not the fact that it's all things coming out in 2022. That alone is like. But otherwise this would have been an evergreen episode. I agree. Yeah. Anyways, if you're listening to this in the future, I don't even, I'm sorry, I don't even know what you're doing. Probably something worse than this, though, I'd imagine is going on.

You're toiling in a space mine, probably. Probably. Anyways, you probably heard this week, but Mouse got cancelled from a particular school district in the US or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And just by pure coincidence, I went to get it. You voted to cancel it.

I did. I had to. And then it got cancelled. I rang the school and I said, you better stop that. I've got a plaque from YouTube. I'm a big deal. I never got my second plaque. I should get that.

Anyways, so I bought it because I went to look for it online. And you can read it online. Now, Mouse for People Who Don't Know is a comic book that retells the story of the Holocaust in the style of anthropomorphic mice. Yes. And cats and other animals. But apparently some of the Holocaust in the style of anthropomorphic mice. Yes, and cats and other animals. But apparently some of the characters say goddamn in it, so it's out the door.

And that's the reason why it's out the door. That's the reason why it is, yeah. So I've never read it, and you could steal it off the internet for free, and I'm like, no, I'm going to buy this because I've always wanted to read it. So you could burn it. Yeah, so I can burn it. And also it's interesting because if you look at the cover and it's like a cat's face and it's like over a Nazi symbol,

I'm like if somebody who didn't know what this was saw this, it would be like what are you up to? Why are you buying this, sir? But no, I mean it's obviously award winning and incredible. So I am somewhat looking forward to, I guess, getting into that. But, of course, I've also been watching Peacemaker, the Book of Boba Fett, a bunch of other stuff which I'll be talking about other weeks. What about you, Mason? I've also been watching Peacemaker, The Book of Boba Fett, a bunch of other stuff which I'll be talking about other weeks.

What about you, Mason? I've been watching a bunch of stuff. I had a little bit of spare time. I've been watching a YouTube channel called Comic Tropes. I don't know if you've seen it. I know. I'm subscribed to Comic Tropes. Chris from Comic Tropes.

He's doing some great works there. He does sort of like really interesting long-form essays about various like events in comic books like, you know, the storyline that takes place in the comic book and then like the back, you know, behind the scenes drama of it. He did the Howl of the Duck thing that you talked about recently. Yeah, he did. Well, he's done stuff we've done except his is very thoroughly researched

as opposed to a lot of stuff we've done which is like, I kind of remember a thing. Yeah, this maybe happened. Yeah, there's one that's done quite well for him. It's called Vince Coletta, The Man That Ruined a Jack Kirby's Art. And Vince Coletta, people should check this one out, Vince Coletta was an inker, so he's the person who does like the inking highlights over the top of somebody's pencil work

in comic books. Yeah. And he was always on, like he got a lot of work because he was always, like he always worked a deadline and he always got stuff done on time. But he was bad is what you're saying? Well, primarily one of the ways he did that is if he saw a pencil page and he thought there was too much detail in it,

he would just erase stuff and then just draw whatever he wanted. Oh my God. Yeah. And, and like a very short version, people should check it out. People should check out the full version. That is fascinating.

But like Jack Kirby, who's, you know, famously Marvel DC, you know, legend. He did,. But like Jack Kirby, you know, famously Marvel DC, you know, the legend, he would like do famously detailed pencil work but then he would never read the comic book. He would never look at the finished proofs or anything

or read the comic book like after it came out because he was just going to do the next thing. He just loved to work. Yeah. Or he was just obsessed with working. So he would never look at an issue of New Gods or something like that and be like, oh, you took all the buildings out of the background and just drew blocks.

Good? Yeah, but eventually he figured it out. Anyway, all the videos are good, really good. That's great. The one that I've actually just recently put into my watch later is the unspeakable Bob Kane stole all the credit for creating Batman. Yeah. And I know that story, but also this channel does, like,

very detailed, as you mentioned, in-depth dives. So, yeah, well worth checking out. Here's some other stuff I've watched. Let's see. I've started watching Yellow Jackets. Oh, yeah, that's what people have been talking about. Yeah, it's on Showtime in the US and in Australia. It's on Paramount+.

Yep, yep, yep. And it is sort of, it is Lord of the Flies Plus. It's like Lord of the Flies New Game Plus. Okay. It's basically in the, the premise is basically in the 90s, sort of the mid-90s, sort of an all-girls soccer team is on a chartered plane that crashes in the sort of the Canadian Rockies. Yeah.

And they go missing for 18 months. And then, what happened? What happened? And then it's intertwined with the modern day. Somebody's trying to track down the people who are involved, like the remaining people who are still alive. They're all grown up and adults now and they've put it all behind them and she's trying to track down what happened

and the events sort of collide. It's got a very good cast. Very good. It's a very very good cast. Very good. It's a very, very. What did you say? It was on Paramount Plus or something. Paramount Plus in Australia and Showtime in the US. So that's through Prime.

You get it on Prime or you can buy it separately. Yeah. Yeah. And I got the free trial and I forgot to cancel it. Oh, yeah. But it's all right. I can watch Mark Wahlberg's Limitless or whatever that movie is called. Mark Wahlberg's a Highlander. He's a Highlander now. That's all I have to say about that. Yeah. Oh, yeah. But it's all right. I can watch Mark Wahlberg's Limitless or whatever that movie is called. Mark Wahlberg's a Highlander.

He's a Highlander now. That's all I have to say about that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's no old jokes. No old jokes. That's just cold, hard truth. Yeah, that's right. And also something I attempted to watch,

it's a series that came out a while back and everybody was talking about it for a while and I didn't have whatever streaming platform it was on, but then it's on YouTube. I could buy it. It was on sale, I think, and I'm like, I'll watch this. The White Lotus, do you remember the White Lotus? Yeah, I watched the White Lotus. So the thing about the White Lotus is I got it

and... Oh, you understood it? First time? No. Okay. Well, here's the thing. So I got it on YouTube and I know there's some sort of mystery element to it, but I didn't know. I don't remember it. I hadn't had it spoiled for me or whatever.

So I'm like, I'll watch this. And I watched the first two. I was going to say I watched the first two episodes. I watched the episodes labeled one and two, and I'm watching it and I'm like, this is some really interesting world building because they're really referencing a bunch of stuff that we haven't been shown.

Like this one character, he's talking about this, he went on a wild bender the other night and I'm like, oh, this really speaks to his character. I wonder if we'll learn more about that later. And another character's like, oh, we didn't know this woman was working, she was in labour, we didn't know the whole time, I feel really bad about it, whatever. And then I get to the end of the second episode and I'm like,

I'm going to go on YouTube and I'm going to go on Wikipedia and I'm going to check this out. Turns out they've mislabeled all the episodes on YouTube. So I watched like episode three and four first. And I'm like, Are you going to go back? Yeah, I will go back. I watched it. It's worth watching. Yeah, I then went and watched the actual first two episodes. Yeah.

It kind of took the wind out of my sails. I bet it did. Yeah. I'm trying to look. Nobody's talking about this on YouTube, on Twitter. I had a look as well, but I couldn't find it either. This is like that time that we watched that really red version of Fast and Furious. I know. Maybe it's just mine.

Maybe it's just. I bet it's probably just me and you, like that red version of Fast and Furious. Yeah, yeah, yeah. God damn. But I watched that, and again, really good cast. The main guy, the hotel manager guy. He's very good. He's great. Ozzy Blake. Yeah. Good stuff. And that's the guy, the hotel manager guy, he's great.

Ozzy Blake, yeah, good stuff. And that's the only reason I like him because he's Australian, you know? Everyone else in that show can get fucked. No, it's very good and very well cast all around. Good performances. Do you know what time should we do some live set? I'm watching Justified as well. I'm re-watching Justified.

Because you want to watch Justified when it comes out as well? Yes. To bring back Justified? Yes, that's right. What would they call it, though, in the reboot? And just like Justified. That's right. And just like Fide.

And just like Fide. Wait a minute. My joke was none of that worked. Anyways, what are we doing? We are doing another segment. I hope so. Which I like to call Letters. Yeah, and it's not a joke. The classic one. Which I like to call Letters. Yeah, and it's not a joke.

The classic one was Letters, oh, Letters, we love you. Some letters, they're only a day away. I know they're here right now. We're going to do Letters. Well, well, well, yes, it is the Letter segment of the show where basically you can send a Gmail to weeklyplanetpod at gmail.com where Mason will go through that mailbag or hit us up on Twitter at hashtag weeklyplanetpod. Mason, what have you got for us?

Here's an email from Michael Miller. Hello, Michael Miller. It says, talk about Bluey. Michael says, I love the banter about movies, but I'm oddly interested in knowing not only James' thoughts about Bluey, but if Mason has seen it and what his thoughts on it are. Much of The Human isn't just for kids, and as a dad of two, it's my favourite show that my kids watch by far. It's true.

Yeah. I'm not sure if it's because of your podcast or Bluey that I call my son mate all the time. New Jersey listener, thanks for all the laughs as I commute to New York City every freaking day. That's from Mike. You're goddamn right. I haven't seen it, but I see a lot of billboards for it. I'm like, I should watch it. It's fun. It's on Mike. You're goddamn right. I haven't seen it, but I see a lot of billboards for it. I'm like, I should watch it. It's fun.

It's on ABC something or other. Yeah. There's one criticism I would say of it is the mum character in the season one doesn't get a lot of play. Oh. And then they kind of rectify a lot of that in the second season. It's fun. Because she becomes a bounty hunter in the second season.

That's right. Bye, kids. I've got to go be a bounty hunter. Well, there's a very good – there's a couple of episodes that are, like, no words. And there's one where it's Bluey. Like that issue of G.I. Joe where it's just ninjas and sound effects. That's the one.

That's exactly what I was talking about. Because she became a bounty hunter. Because she became a bounty hunter. But so basically, yeah, Bluey's trying to stop, like, the rain flowing down the path. And it's like, it's just really fun. It's a really sweet and fun show. And it's, like, it's actually quite touching in moments and it's also if like,

if you're like, I hate Peppa Pig, I'm sick of Peppa Pig. Oh, I see. My kid only wants to watch Peppa Pig. Put on Bluey, you won't want to kill yourself when you watch it. I did see a clip where they go to the movies and the dad does his little, he's got his little card and he pays for the tickets and the thing and I'm like, where are you putting that card? Yeah, in his dog bus.

Oh, he's in his dog bus. Or his dog pocket. The only other fact that I know about Blue is that Dave McCormack, who plays the dad, is the band Custard, which is a great Australian band. People should check out the band Custard if you get a chance. That's right. My favourite Custard, they were a great band back in the day. I think they come and go.

My favourite thing Custard ever did is their record company wanted their record company made them – wanted to make them do a video clip. I think the song is – Just looking for that love. No, that's Girls Like That. Don't forget. Okay, yeah. Girls Like That. They had a song called – it doesn't matter.

Anyway, I'll track it down. Their managers made them – wanted them to do a music video and they didn't want to do it because they're a nightmare. So they were just like, can you just, here's the brief, can you just like hire some male models to like be on the beach and mime singing and playing the instruments or whatever and then just have like beautiful models and all that sort of stuff. And they made it.

It's all black and white and it's all very artful. And then it got played on video hits, which is like the local pop. Yeah, yeah. Like the Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera at the time kind of thing. And it got played for like a few weeks in a row and then clearly somebody looked up what Custard looked like and they just never played it again.

That's quite fun. Yeah. I mean, I'm looking at this guy. He looks like a normal man. He does. He's absolutely a normal man. But he looks, he's, like Custard looked like pulp. They're like disheveled skinny men in suits. Exactly. He's a normal man. He does. He's absolutely a normal man. But he looks, he's, like, custard look like pulp.

They're like. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like disheveled skinny men in suits. Exactly. I think the lead singer came to my uni once. Did he? I mean, to sing. Started a fight? Yeah, he started a fight.

Wow. So there you go. Yeah, Bluey, check it out. I got to, first of all, happy birthday. The song is Aloha Tambourinist. Oh, okay. You should check that out. Sila Magic on Twitter, who taught me the Tom Cruise disc trick.

Oh, yeah. It's his birthday next week. Happy birthday. Birthday. He says, can you sing your classic birthday song? No callback, sorry. Yeah, no, sorry. Can't do it.

Yeah, no. Yeah, so I would love to. Yeah. But no. But happy birthday. Yeah. Sorry, we don't make the rules. No, exactly.

No callbacks. And if we could, we wouldn't. This is an email from Patrick. Subject line, spit buckets. Oh, yeah. Hey, boys, long-time listener. I'm watching your Hawkeye recaps after waiting to binge the whole show and got to your question about whether Florence Pugh ate that mac and cheese

or whether they had a spit bucket on set. I shot a TV show last month that required me to eat meat on camera and being a vegan who hadn't eaten meat in years I requested a spit bucket from the props department. Problem was I never knew how to use the bucket without grossing everyone out or making someone hold a bucket that I could slop up into like Henry VIII.

This meant I had to either A. Speak with my mouth full, B. Stop the scene, spit and continue, or C. Soldier on, chew and swallow and be a team player. I chose option C. Yeah. Maybe next time I just hope the vegan world doesn't find out about this. You've got to be more famous.

You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you're Tom Cruise and you're like, I'm not doing sugar or wheat or eggs. I will simply spit. Yeah. I will spit all day. I don't even want a bucket. I'm just going to spit.

I'll spit in your mouth like a baby bird. It'll give you magic powers. That's right. That's gross, though. Yeah, it would be gross. But good on you for doing the thing that, I mean, you know, also if you had not done it, that would have been also fine if you had stuck to the veganism.

This is from Keith. It says, hashtag weekly planet pod. What do you think the odds Mando goes to Jedi school to see Grogu right when he gets attacked by Ben Solo? I think the timeline is like 20 years, 20 to 30 years apart. Maybe it's a test run. Yeah, maybe. Ben Solo.

Ben Solo's a little boy. Yeah, okay. So, yeah. And we saw that in a comic that happened as well. And Grogu wasn't there. But maybe he will be there What's next, Mason? Let's have a quick look

While you're doing a quick look Go on I can do one from Matt Cronin who says Hey guys, hashtag weekly planet pod You're my favourite podcast Thanks for all the laughs I was wanting to do an episode about the CWDC TV shows Or maybe a Caravan of Garbage on the Crisis of Infinite Earths crossover

I'd love to hear your opinions on all of the shows. It's too much for me, but I would absolutely do individual story arcs or whatever and Caravan of Garbage and stuff. Yeah? Yeah. Yeah, sure. Great. Done and done.

You know what I would love? A wacky musical episode of Superman and Lois. Oh, yeah. Because I love a wacky musical episode. It's true, you do. Mr. Mix's piddly shows up and he's like, everything's musical now. They did it in Supergirl, maybe?

Probably. They did. They did a Flash Supergirl crossover, which was a musical, yeah. Cool. Yeah. Here's an email from Paolo. Hi, James and Mason.

I recently had to go for an eye operation, which left me unable to see for a few days. As I couldn't watch or read anything, I began to revisit old episodes of the pod. I love listening to the Harry Potter recaps again, especially hearing about Mason's golden snitch pillowcase torture method. Just want to say a huge thanks for keeping me entertained and my spirits high during my recovery.

All the best from Paolo. Wonderful. That is absolutely delightful and well done. P.S. Hopefully looking forward to the final recap in time for Fantastic Beasts 3. Yeah. If not, I'd happily settle for another Rat Pack Caravan of garbage. We've got to knock off those Rat Pack movies.

There's like two left. Yeah, but which one do we do? Because some of them aren't in. The worst one. Yeah, but some of them aren't in. Which one? Someone email in. Which one?

Whichever one. That'd be the worst. And it can't be one where there's like one Rat Pack. Because I think two of them are in like Cannonball Run or some shit. I'm not interested in that. I want like an old school fucking Rat Pack. Kind of a single Rat. I think there's two more full Rat Pack movies because I think two of them are in like Cannonball Run or some shit. I'm not interested in that. I want like an old school fucking Rat Pack. Kind of a single Rat. I think there's two more full Rat Pack movies I think.

Alright, alright, fine. They don't even do well. But I'll do it. I hate them and they don't do well. We could do a bonus one, one week. We'll do an extra thing. I'd actually be more than happy to do it because they're terrible. I've got one more here from Gabe

who says I just wanted to say see if anyone agrees but Peacemaker might be the best looking movie slash TV show I've ever seen maybe it's because the last movie I saw was No Way Home which was shot in a shoebox but man all the locations look and feel so real

it does definitely have that sense as someone who hasn't seen it do you agree? yes I haven't seen it but I agree I nearly watched the intro but I'm like i want to save it until i can watch the whole show yeah uh here's an email from rain uh gentlemen and amazo thanks for recommending the comic pop guys yes on your channel ben ethan tiffany yeah i just got done watching their maximum carnage video it was a tidal wave of nostalgia for me i look forward to playing through their channel then waiting impatiently for more that's from rain there's a huge back catalogue there as well.

Yes. You'd be going there for a while. Yes, Sal was kind enough to do a fill-in video. I was on break while Mason had COVID. He said, do you mind me stepping in while Mason's got COVID? I didn't have COVID. And I said, all right, Sal. I was in a car and it filled up with water.

And I held my breath for two weeks. That's what happened. It's true. I didn't have COVID. That's all the email tweet I have. What do you got? Anything else? I'm going to find one more email.

All right, here we go. Start off. Fresh and fun. Fresh and fun. Five emails every week until I forget. Wow. Yeah, that's right. I'll check the news while we're going.

While you're having a look around. Okay, here's the last one. All right. Here we go. This is from Eric. Lied to my teacher for the pod. Love it. Hey, fellas, I'm a graduate student from Xavier,

a school in Ohio, not the X-Men. At the beginning of this semester, I had a teacher tell us she often uses podcasts to help teach her addictions course. I, of course, recommended that she watch the Weekly Planet as the hosts are both experts in addictions. Apparently she wasn't happy, and I've started the semester off on a horrible note. Can I be the official bad student of the podcast?

Oh, no. Yes, you can. Oh, that's funny though. She would have maybe listened to a whole episode. No. Oh, no. It's all nonsense what we talk about. That's so funny.

Oh, you wasted her time so much. Yeah, that's right. Enjoy your- She heard the theme song, which we're getting rid of it the next year. Enjoy the D minus you're going to get. You're going to pass, but you're going to be scraping it in, let me tell you. Sometimes you just never bounce back with a teacher. You know what I mean?

Very true. And let me tell you something. As a former teacher, yeah, there's favorites. Straight up. Wow. Favorite years, favorite students. But a good teacher, which I like to think that I was, doesn't make it obvious. You know what Wow. Favourite years, favourite students. But a good teacher, which I like to think that I was,

doesn't make it obvious. You know what I mean? Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah. The trick is to find something about a kid that you like, even if you despise them. Yeah. You know what I mean? There's always something. Yeah, and I mean sometimes, you know, you wear a T-shirt

and it says, my favourite student is Eric. Or is it? Yeah. On the back, question mark. That's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I tell Eric in front of everybody that, yes, it is Eric, in fact. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And that's cool and normal. Yeah, this reminds me of a brief story that's irrelevant, but let's do it. Okay, let's do it. As long as it's brief and irrelevant, all right? I was studying. I did, like, psychology in, like, year 11 or year 12. So I was, like, 17, 16, 17. I don't know.

And we had a teacher who who was like, and it was the start of the year, and they were like, what's the answer to this question? Then they went, and I didn't put my hand up, and they're like, James. I'm like, I don't know. They're like, well, you think you've been smart? You've been funny? I'm like, no, I didn't put my hand up.

I don't know. I don't have the answer. It was like, this no, I didn't put my hand up. Like, I don't know. I don't have the answer. And he was like, oh, this is, you know. This is an outrage. Yeah, he's like, if you've got to put in the effort or whatever. And I'm like, what the fuck is happening? Like, I don't know. This is a new class.

Why would I know that? I didn't put my hand up. And then I said that was a bad year, obviously. Yeah, sure, yeah. Just felt like a minute. But that titch is dead now. Probably dead. I'm like, what's happening?

And actually, I did see them. No, he's definitely dead. I cut his break lines for you. Oh, good, thank you. I did see them. Then I ploughed a flooded car into him. I did see them a few years later. They didn't see me when I was just out of school working at McDonald's. I was also at uni, and I'm like, I cannot let this dude see me

because he's going to be like, I knew it. You didn't know the answer. The reason you're working at McDonald's is I was also at uni and I'm like I cannot let this dude see me. He's going to be like, I knew it. The reason you're working at McDonald's is because you didn't know that answer to that thing that I sprung on you. Also, there's nothing wrong with working at McDonald's. I just want to clarify, Mason. I know. That's where you would have gone in this story that I'm making up.

Exactly. So there you go. That's a thing that's happened maybe in my life. Anything else? Have you got a teaching story? No, I'm not a teacher. Yeah's a thing that's happened maybe in my life.
