FX's The Veil explores the surprising and fraught relationship between two women who play a deadly game of truth and lies on the road from Istanbul to Paris and London. One woman has a secret. The other, a mission to reveal it before thousands of lives are lost. FX's The Veil, starring Elizabeth Moss, is now streaming on Disney+. Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of The Weekly Planet, where we talk movies and comics and TV shows. My name is James, also known as Mr. Sunday, and with me always for the first podcast of the new year is my co-host, Nick Mason, loving that new theme song. I'm loving it. We're back and 2023, new year, new us. And some people might say, you know, 2023, start afresh, you know,

for people who want to get in a podcast. But I say no, add an impenetrable layer to the podcast of just an inside joke that people who haven't been listening for literally years will not get. And they'll go to a Reddit page and they'll say, what's the deal with this? And it'll just be all joke answers. And then they'll leave. And that's what we want. New listeners leave.

I think, though, that is more penetrable than the previous LeapSong, though, I feel, which was also penetrable in its own way. Yeah. Anyway. Is that the correct usage of that word is that even a word mason yes and it was a great joke anyway we're back it's great to be back um impenetrable in jokes barely sketched out characters yep what what is 2023 gonna bring we don't know mason that's what this episode's all about do you know why

why because we're going to be listing all the movies and TV shows that are probably coming out this year that we are excited for. Yeah. But before that, of course, we've got a big news catch up. I'll head you up with the past there, James. I'm excited for all of them. Wow. I love all of them. I'm gonna love all of them. Oh, wow. That's really exciting. You're also gonna love all the news for this week. Yeah, probably. Collings, who edits this, he's back

for some reason. We appreciate it, though. He said he's staying for the impenetrable inside jokes. Okay, good. In lieu of any money. Of course. He puts the time codes below for also the topics we're going to be catching up on. We're going to talk about some stuff that's going down at DC,

including what's going on with Jason Momoa and Superman. We're going to be talking Francis Ford Coppola's latest passion project. Megalopolis. Megalopolis, which is, that's a whole situation. We're going to talk about how Michael Bay didn't kill a pigeon. Megalopolis's latest passion project. Megalopolis. Megalopolis, which is, that's a whole situation. We're going to talk about how Michael Bay didn't kill a pigeon. We're going to talk about how Avatar 2 is still a big movie.

We're going to talk about the Tron franchise. Then some trailer stuff. A quick update on what did Netflix cancel while we were away and how Jeremy Renner was in a terrible accident. Now, there's some other things that we're also going to talk about later in the episode after we talk about the 2023 stuff from the Facebook group where it was just like, threw it open. Is there anything you want us to touch on that we would have missed for this month? And here's a couple.

Here's a little bit of housekeeping. You got some one bit of news? Well, I was just going to mention for people who don't know, perhaps new listeners that haven't been turned off by thus far the multiple layers of impenetrable in-jokes, you, of course, get a fresh handful of vetoes. Fresh trilogy of vetoes. That's exactly right. Three for the year. Exactly.

Which means I can veto any or riffs that either of us are doing. Yes. I think you might have vetoed one of your own last year. Yeah. And how it works is if one of us is going off on a tangent that is too long, some might say improving the show, but some might say ruining the show. And honestly, I don't know which one it is most of the time. Yeah.

You're allowed to veto it and I just have to stop talking. Well, you have to stop talking. Yeah, whichever it ends up being. And a further note to that developed over the last year is, of course, that if I don't bring one bit of news for three weeks, not consecutively, just three weeks combined, you get an additional veto. Correct.

And back to square one. Exactly. That's right. How many can he get this year is the question. But here's one bit of news. Are you familiar with any of the Dungeons and Dragons drama? Well, that was one of the things we were going to talk about later, but let's do it now.

Too bad. Yeah, so we actually got a, I just want to see who I've got this from. We got it a number of times, but Niels wrote in about that. He got it first. He said everything going down with Dungeons and Dragons. And he said it is legit interesting and Mason has talked about D&D before. I was hoping you could answer this because I saw bits and pieces. And, of course, we're getting a big Dungeons and Dragons movie this year.

We're going to talk about that. I think we talked about in previous weeks, probably in relation to the Dungeons and Dragons movie that apparently in internal emails with Wizards of the Coast who run Dungeons and Dragons, who are owned by Hasbro, they have said, there were some

internal emails that suggested that we need to do more monetisation of Dungeons & Dragons and how we're going to make that happen because, of course, if you play the tabletop game, it's more a case of just like if you have the source books. You can even print off a PDF or do it off an iPad. You can just remember it. I'm sure there are Dungeons & Dragons games out there

like Dungeons & Dragons Veterans who can just remember every stat off the top of their head. And that is the beauty of it. It's like it's basically some books and dice and some imagination mason. But they don't want that, do they? No. Big D&D. No, exactly.

So like, yeah, so prior to this we had fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons and the new version they're working on is called 1D&D. And a lot of people are like, what are they going to do with this? What are they going to do? So there is some subscription services you can get if you want virtual dungeon environments and if you want mapping software and all this sort of stuff. I think all that's great.

If you're making something additional, yeah, definitely have a paywall is what I'm saying. So for literally literally years for like decades dungeons and dragons has had what's called an open game license and it's basically third party companies can create modules like adventures and monsters and you know unofficial content and they don't have to pay a licensing fee yeah but basically what happened is uh io9 discovered a leaked draft of this new version of the ogl ogl 1.1 and it basically placed a bunch of restrictions on the third party content and required companies to pay

wizards of the coast 25 royalties if they if they reach a certain amount of revenue yeah and a lot of people were like i'm done with this yeah this thing that you know you know was ordinarily free for a lot of people they're just and a people have, you know, based their entire, they have entire companies based around it. Absolutely. I know there's like a number of YouTube channels and podcasts, like Sandspan's for one, like do D&D related stuff like all the time. Yeah.

And, I mean, you know, and for a lot of, I would say for most people who do this sort of stuff, that particular thing wouldn't affect you. No. Because you don't, it's something like $750,000. If you make $750,000 plus, they'll take 25% of your revenue. But there was a bunch of other stuff like in this OGL, it's like, okay, if you make a third party D&D anything and it's on their radar, they can just use it if they want. Yes, absolutely. They can just be like, oh, these characters are ours now. You can still make them. Do you think this has something to do with the movie coming out this year?

Yes. And they've already taken a run at it. But this new one's got like Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez and a bunch of other, Justice Smith and a bunch of other people in it. Yeah. And they're pushing it to be like a big adventure film that's hopefully going to make a billion dollars for them. It won't.

But they're good. They're good, but they won't. And then it drives people to the game and to monetisation essentially. I think I've mentioned this before, but whenever I go to the movies, in the last three or four times I've gone to the movies, I've seen the Honor Among Thieves trailer, but they've cut it down. They've cut it down to like 30 seconds and they've taken all the jokes out and they've ruined the pacing of it. And every time I watch the trailer, I see people in the audience go, ugh.

Yeah. Do you think that's because there was that initial backlash of like, well, this is silly. But if you ever played Dungeons and Dragons, it's silly. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe. It gets silly very quickly. The best part of that trailer.

Depending who you're with, obviously. The best part of the trailer is we see, you know, charismatic leading man Chris Pine and they're like, you're bad at this. The best part of the trailer is we see charismatic leading man Chris Pine, and they're like, you're bad at this. But every character's like, you suck at this. And then he does a little leap at the end. He does a little flying big guitar leap, but he's on a little loot. That's a bit fun.

But anyway, this was on Reddit. I don't know if this is true, but why not start the year with rampant speculation? It might all be lies. But apparently Hasbro really needs Honor Among Thieves to work out for them because they have to convince the shareholders that this is a worthwhile thing. Dungeons and Dragons or their movie division? Dungeons and Dragons.

Okay, right. Okay, so this is... I mean, they already did Battleship. This is from an investor on Reddit called SuperFunPop. Okay. The motivations behind Wizards' changes are 100% influenced by Hasbro, and I'll tell you why. Hasbro was confronted by an activist investor,

which is an owner of a lot of shares in Hasbro. Sure. It was very outspoken, wanting changes. They wanted to spin off Wizards of the Coast into a second company. Without getting too deep into this part, what would this mean is that Wizards of the Coast would no longer contribute to the value of Hasbro and would be its own stock. This would lead to Hasbro's stock becoming discounted because Wizards of the Coast make up roughly 70% of Hasbro's value.

But a lot of the investors are like, oh, Hasbro, it's Transformers. But apparently there's so much more money in Wizards of the Coast because they did Magic the Gathering and Sure, yeah. Dungeons and Dragons and that sort of stuff. Hasbro had a public fight for control with this activist investor in June of 2022. This means Wizards is still owned by Hasbro but has a big consequence. Before 2022, Hasbro shareholders had no idea what Wizards of the Coast,

D&D or Magic the Gathering was. Shareholders only knew about Transformers, Monopoly and Peppa Pig. Isn't that wild? If it's 70% and they're just like, what's this? They thought Hasbro's money came from toys, TV and movies. Which, by the way, if you look at, I've got a list of their movies that they've made here. Yeah, yeah.

And aside from the Transformers, that is not the case. Because it's Clue, the Power Rangers movies, and there's been a few. There's the first Dungeons and dragons movie and then the the director dvd spin-off a bunch of gi a couple of gi joe movies that didn't do super well battleship ouija uh gem and the holograms another power rangers movie and then snake eyes so like these aren't to that this is the year of us reviewing yeah of course yeah but they've got this is what they've got coming up more gi joe movies beyblade monopoly hacker camp action man clue furby untitled transformers optimus film play-doh movie rob the space knight mask another power rangers movie another untitled gi joe spinoff all right yeah anyway so it has to prove to the shareholders that it continues to

make wizards of the coast profitable if it can't prove it, the big investors will come in and talk about spinning it off again. Right. So Hasbro will suddenly just lose this huge thing. So Hasbro has to deliver with honor among thieves. Otherwise, it's going to look very bad. Shareholders are going to be paid off. But again, shouldn't they be happy that it's already doing well outside of this movie that's going to make a billion dollars?

Great question. Well, I think the idea would be that they want to spin off Wizards of the Coast because the rest of it, the remaining 30% is kind of dead weight. Right, okay. Yeah, anyway. Hasbro's been telling shareholders for a year that Wizards can't operate on their own and the only reason Wizards

is making money is because Hasbro's overseeing it. Hasbro has to put their money where their mouth is and dig into the trenches with Wizards to prove they're valuable. Otherwise, shareholders can force Hasbro to spin off from wizards. So basically, Honor Among Thieves has to do really, really well. Yeah. Otherwise, they'll be like, why are you controlling this? You don't know what you're doing kind of thing.

Great. Yeah, really good. This is going to be a good year for D&D. For us, it's going to be very entertaining no matter what happens. Yeah, but I mean, basically, this new OGL for Dungeons and Dragons is super unpopular and it's going to like, it also seems to be retroactive so they can take like, if you made old D&D modules back in the day.

They can just dip into that. Oh, we like those. We'll have those. Because I know this has been a thing with like the modding community will like make things for video games and whatever and then they'll just straight steal that or shut it down. you know like nintendo did it we're doing a thing for a time where they just demonetize or take the money from any youtube video that like did like reviews or any anything related to the nintendo content this way of thinking is like it's it's destructive and they

don't seem to be aware of that but But anyway, huge backlash and then Wizards basically were like, yes, this is true, like this draft is real, but we're taking a bunch of it out now. Yeah. So the backlash worked apparently. Because you caught us. Yeah, you got us. So they're like, we wanted to shut down people making blockchain games

and NFTs. The new OGL will not contain any of the controversial provisions of the draft, including the royalty structure, the back license agreement, or the deauthorization of previous OGL versions. Wizards went further to say that it and the community won because it always planned to solicit the input of the community before any update.

Disagree. Yeah, I disagree. They're a big liars. The thing that you mentioned, I think, earlier, the G.I. Joe stuff, we also saw this week Channing Tatum took a lie detector test. Did you see that? I didn't know. On YouTube, not for crime purposes.

Oh, okay, cool. But he confirmed the rumour that they made him do it. They made him do it. He turned down the first G.I. Joe seven times, but the movie studio had an option on him which meant he had to do a movie at some point and he's just like, whatever, this will do, I guess. And then he requested to be killed in the first ten minutes of the second one. And he was.

And he was. Good movies all round, I think. Mason, should we do a little bit of DC news? Let's do DC news. First of all, you might have seen that James Gunn was reading All-Star Superman. It was like just a bit of light reading for the morning and people have speculated that there's this version of Superman he's going to make

because obviously Henry Cavill's out. We talked about this to death last year. Are they going to be borrowing, you know, this story, All-Star Superman? It's already been an animated movie in addition to a comic book. I don't know if you know that. Oh, my goodness. They make comic books now? I know.

We're going to talk about comiXology later as well. But basically I think that this is a tone more than a – because that's like it's all these different narratives in the life of a very established Superman and they're going for an early day Superman. So I think tonally this is probably what they're looking to work with. Yes, but narratively probably not. Yeah, because doesn't he like die at the end or something?

I can't remember. Pretty much, yeah. Or it's implied that he is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's sort of he's like, this is the end for me. Well can't remember. Pretty much, yeah. Or it's implied that he is... Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's sort of he's like, this is the end for me. I'll see you later. If you haven't read it, it's not a spoiler. Yes. I mean, that's what happens at the end.

But it's about the journey, not the destination. Yeah, exactly. Anyway, if that's the case, I like that direction. And the other bit of news more recently also is that Jason Momoa, he left DC offices in a big woo. I don't know if you saw that. What does that mean?

He filmed himself leaving. Oh, in a good way. He's like, woo, I'm the best and I'll never die. Okay. And he's like, I can't talk about what I'm doing, but big upcoming stuff for DC. He's Lobo, I think is what's happening. But he's also said that.

He also said I'll never not be Aquaman. I'll also be every other character. Don't even worry about it. I think you can be both. We're bringing in my oil baron character from that show where I was an oil baron or something. Sure. I'm bringing in the character where I'm blind. Oily Jason.

Oily Jason. We're bringing in Oily Jason and Blind Jason. Blind Jason. You've got to bring in Blind Jason. Maybe he was a fur trapper or something. Yeah, I know the one you're talking about. Yeah, yeah. Great stuff. It is great stuff. You can be Lobo and Aquaman, right? The makeup alone would be like different voices. Exactly, yeah. Great stuff. It is great stuff. You can be Lobo in Aquaman, right? The makeup alone would be like different voice. It's fine.

Exactly, yeah. I think that's fine. It also reminded me that Lobo was on that TV series Krypton. Do you remember that? Yes, he was. I liked Krypton. I watched the first season. I didn't mind it at all.

Did you watch much of that? A little bit, but I did catch up with little clips on YouTube and stuff like that. The actor who plays him is not like huge. He's not Momoa huge, but I think he's sort of. He's Little Lobo? He's a little. Remember Little Lobo?

I do remember they revamped him as Little Lobo. And I think that was probably what he was based on. Yeah. But yeah, I thought it was pretty good. Like he had that, you know, he was bizarre and chaotic and kind of he could regenerate from like a seven arm. Which is the comic where Lobo turns up and fights new Superman. I can't, do you remember the one where it's like early days,

it was also recently in a movie where he's got that, where's the goggles? It was in an animated movie. Superman wears the goggles. Yeah, he wears like goggles and like a kind of flight suit outfit. I don't remember that at all. So I wonder if it's like that will be his introduction maybe in a Superman movie because they have a little, like little biff.

Because he's an intergalactic bounty hunter. That's true, yeah. Anyway, there you go. Or I made all that biff because he's an intergalactic bounty hunter. That's true, yeah. Anyway, there you go. Or I made all that up. The other thing is James Gunn said that. Superman with goggles. Can you imagine?

Why would he need goggles? He wouldn't. Well, the early days, he doesn't know. That's true. Maybe I need goggles. You don't need goggles, idiot. Okay, thanks. James Gunn said also he'd work with all of the cast of Guardians of the Galaxy over at DC, so I wouldn't be surprised if we get more of those characters,

not characters, just actors. Well, they're all characters, aren't they? They certainly are. They said bleeding over after his time at Marvel is done, which it will be soon. Mason, this is by THR. Megalopolis, you familiar with this? Not really.

So this is Francis Ford Coppola's passion project. He hasn't directed in about 10 years, and the last one was kind of like just a minor kind of movie. And he's providing a lot of financing to it, I believe. Something like $100 plus million of his own money. Well, as the article says, he's breaking the cardinal rule of movie making and spending his own money, which is $120 million.

But he says, I couldn't care less about the financial impact whatsoever. He probably does his kids. Yeah, probably. It means nothing to me. Wow. So, yes. You know what? He's been, his attitudes have been buoyed up by James Cameron, I think, probably.

He's seen James Cameron in the press for the last few months being like, I'm the best and I don't care and I'm rich and I'll do what I want. But James Cameron didn't pay for Avatar. No, that's true. Yeah. So, it's easy to have that kind of bluster when it's not your money, I feel. That's very true, yeah. But anyway, for those who don't know, Francis Ford Coppola is now 83 years old,

which, good on him. That's a great age to be. Not for me, I would hate that, but good for him. This says, the film centers on an architect who seeks to rebuild New York as a utopia after a disaster at Starz. Among others, Adam Driver, Forrest Whitaker, Lawrence Fishburne, Talia Shire, who I haven't seen in years because they killed her off in the Rocky franchise.

She's Adrian. And to move Rocky's story forward, he's dead. He's sad. Yeah. And then Mickey's dead. So they could have had her in Flashback. They could have, you know. She's alive.

She's alive in real life, Mason. Yeah. Anyway, so it's halfway through development in the moment and apparently the budget has i love something like this just a big blowout like just an entertainment blockbuster disaster even if it comes good at the end like that's also good but i love this kind of stuff we don't see this anymore no that's true yeah it feels very old hollywood doesn't it yeah uh the budget is expanded and the film is now about halfway through its 80 to 90-day shoot, but a production source says

it's unclear whether production can go forward as is planned. This is from a few weeks ago, but there's been no updates as of yet. Is there something to do with visual effects? Yeah. So they lost its production designer, Beth Mickle, and supervising art director, David Scott, who left. And between the firings and resignations, a source says the film now has no art department

and that's on top of losing the entire visual effects team in the first part of December. What they were initially doing was doing that Mandalorian volume style thing where, for those who don't know, it's just they stand in front of a big screen and instead of using green screen, you film everything in camera. It's easier to film on the day and if you do it right it can be more cost effective but sometimes it's cheaper and quicker to just throw up a green

screen and then fix all that later which is now what they're doing apparently bearing in mind that he had this he has form for this before apocalypse now was a disaster that's true and so much of a disaster there's a movie about what a disaster that is. That's a black mark on your record, isn't it? I mean, it did well. People love it and it did well. Just every time you're like, man, I'm so proud of my work, I'm going to watch a little bit of it on streaming,

and you put in Apocalypse Now. The first result over your own movie is like, everybody did cocaine and we're trying to kill each other. Yeah. And also we talked about this recently, but on Bram Stoker's Dracula, he fired the entire special effects team because he wanted to do everything in camera. And they were like, that isn't really possible.

And so he just got his son to do it. And it's great. It worked, yeah. Somehow. But this is, you know, it's a different era, but maybe, who knows which way this is going to go. But I am fascinated. Your son is dreading the call.

It's like, I don't know. I just, I mean, I built a big book. I don't know if I can build a whole city. I don't know if I can reimagine New York City and make it better than it is already. I don't know, man. Yeah, I love this. But anyway, good luck to him.

Apparently he's using all these winery money as well. He's richer than $120 million. I think when he says he doesn't care, I think he means like, good luck to him. Apparently he's using all these winery money as well. He's richer than $120 million. I think when he says he doesn't care, I think he means like I have more money. Yeah. It's fine for him. Anyways, Mason, Michael Bay didn't kill a pigeon. He wants you to know that. So filmmaker Michael Bay is facing charges in Italy related to the killing of a pigeon

on the 2018 set of the Netflix blockbuster, our favorite movie. Six Underground. One of the best. Six Underground. Couldn't get through five minutes of it. Hated it. You've watched the whole thing, didn't you? I don't know.

Yeah, I think you did. I don't know. I can't remember how it ends. Yeah. But that's not proof that I didn't watch it. Oh, Superman dies at the end. Oh, no. That's not a spoiler because that's not what the movie's about, though.

Ryan Reynolds' character flies into the sun. Yeah, that's right. The end for me, or is it? Maybe I'll be born again somehow. I'm Ryan Reynolds' character flies into the sun. Yeah, that's right. The end for me or is it? Maybe I'll be born again somehow. I'm Ryan Reynolds. There is a death fake out of that, isn't it? I don't know. Because their team are like, they're a team of like mercenaries

who all are supposed to be dead or something. I don't know. Oh, yeah, no, it is. Yeah, you're right. Okay. Because they think he flew into the sun? Yeah, I'm happy that you remember some of the plot of that. Thank you.

This is from the Rat Viar. They learned this exclusively. So the pigeon pigeon now we've got it i know injury injury exclusives while they last the rap so i didn't know you were in a house of cards the rat i didn't know this because they're basically rats here pigeons are protected in the eu under the birds directive maybe Maybe they're different pigeons. I think they're an introduced species here. I think that's the difference. Why would you

introduce pigeons into Australia? They introduce foxes. They introduce a bunch of shit. It's probably to get rid of cane toad. And then they introduce the cane toad beetle. They introduce the cane toad beetle and then the cane toad to kill the cane toad beetle. But the cane toads can't get into the cane sugar stalks. Now there's just rampant cane toad beetle, but the cane toads can't get into the cane sugar stalks.

So now there's just rampant cane toads in Australia. We've also got like hordes of camels roaming around up north. Camels aren't native here. That's true. Yeah. Anyways, according to an insider with knowledge of the production, a homing pigeon was allegedly killed by a dolly in the middle of a take in Rome.

And an unnamed individual who happened to be on set or apparently witnessed the incident. It's Michael Bay. He does it. Took a picture. Hey, aren't be on set or apparently witnessed the incident. It's Michael Bay. He does it. Took a picture. Hey, aren't you a Dolly camera operator? No, it's Michael Bay though. They took a picture and sent it to the Italian authorities.

Uh-oh. Apparently it had to do with a large group of pigeons in a wind machine. Now Michael Bay's come out and said, I'm a well-known animal lover and a major animal activist. He said this via a statement to The Wrap. No animal involved in the production was injured or harmed or any other production I've worked on for the past 30 years.

He did nearly kill that woman on Transformers. That's true. Not him in particular, but- That dolly operator did it. Yeah, that's right. But blamed it on Michael Bay. You remember that? Like the woman was like, she got like $12 million for being like disabled for life in a highway

stunt. Yeah. He said, I was offered by the Italian authorities a chance to settle this matter by paying a small fine, but I declined to do so as I would not plead guilty to harming an animal. So there you go. Good luck to all involved, except for the pigeon,

which is obviously RIP. What if this is the thing that finally brings him down, like Al Capone and the IRS? It's not all his directing crimes that send him to prison. It's that he he refused to pay a fine for for killing this pigeon they're like jail for life michael bay sorry does that mean in like 80 years they got it we've got to open the michael bay vaults on live tv there's just a stack of zoo magazines yes look up al capone's vault if you don't know what that is

um it's just a stack of loud noises and buildings falling down magazine. Yeah. That's the magazine he subscribes to. What I think might. They just describe the loud noises. Yes. What I think might actually bring Michael Bay down is these big budget action movies that people don't see. Yeah.

Because if you look at his track record recently out of Transformers, it's not great. You know, I mean, I know Six Underground was Netflix. Ambulance went straight, pretty much straight to streaming. Not straight away, but not hugely well received and not financially did super well. So I don't know. Or maybe it's the pigeon thing. I don't know.

Anyways, Mason, James Cameron. It could be a combination of things. It could be. James Cameron's Avatar is going to be the sixth biggest movie of all time, or it is now. So taking over Spider-Man No Way Home, topping $1.9 billion globally. That apology was for James Cameron.

I could feel it when you were like, this is going to be the, no, it is, sorry, sir. Because you know he'll find this. It's true. Though we never doubted it, did we? That's true. We never said that it, luckily we weren't one of those people that were like, boom.

Maybe I doubted it a bit. Yeah, we probably doubted it. But as we, you know, as we said, you can't rule out James Cameron. I won't be doubting it again. I don't think you did doubt it. I think you were like, yeah, we'll see. I won't doubt it again.

Like, it wouldn't shock me if there is a slow decline now. But I don't think there's any way that Avatar 3 won't crack a billion dollars. No, absolutely not. I'd say at least a billion and a half. Yeah, it won't be a sudden flop. Especially with the fire in the V, the lava people or whatever. Big red Jake Sully turns up like we were hoping. Do you think anybody's told him?

That what? That there's another franchise called Avatar where there's different groups of people and they all have nations and they all have different elements behind them? I mean, maybe not. I mean, they know because they had to change the name of their movie. That's true. They did, yeah.

Now, it looks like they could overtake Infinity War and then The Force Awakens next. I think also if it doesn't do it in this release, it will on multiple re-releases. Like Titanic is getting another re-release. And so that means it will probably eventually end up third as one of the biggest movies of all time. So it will be Avatar 1, Endgame, Avatar 2, Titanic. It will probably eventually end up third as one of the biggest movies of all time.

So it will be Avatar 1, Endgame, Avatar 2, Titanic. Wow. So he's got three of the four top movies of all time. Settle down, mate. I will. Not you. I'm settling down. Oh, you love this. I've even written here, Mason, do you love the Tron franchise?

I like how you had to put my name in there just like maybe you'll forget. I'll forget. Do you love the Tron franchise? Do people know that sometimes you call me Claire and Claire Mason? Yes. Okay, good. Mason or Claire, do you like or love the Tron franchise? I mean, I guess, but I suspect my love for Tron is going to decline very rapidly. You love Tron Legacy? I do love Tron Legacy. I think it's really good. I think, and it's held up too, like special effects wise. And that's of course- And the soundtrack and et cetera. Yeah. I mean, you know, with the exception of the de-aged Jeff Bridges, which hasn't held up that well. But he's in a digital world, et cetera.

Right. But there is a- There's a bit of the Star Wars not in a digital world. There's a bit of the Star Wars not in a digital world. They should have just, just do a little re-edit where he's in shadow or something. Look, it's still held up because they've built this incredible world and I think the soundtrack is the best thing Daft Punk has ever done and they had a person whose name I forget who helped with the composing of that. Yeah.

Also the director of Top Gun, Maverick. Yes. I didn't even know that until maybe this week. And he was on track to make Tron 3. Tron 3. It was going to be like a Killian Murphy was going to be the villain. Because he's unc track to make Tron 3. Tron 3. It was going to be like a Killian Murphy was going to be the villain. Because he's uncredited in Tron Legacy, yeah. And a whole bunch of other stuff was going to happen.

They were going to bring back Dillinger. Dillinger! And the master control program from the first movie. Is that the big face in the tube, the big Zordon face that's like, no, don't, leave Tron alone. Yeah, that's it. Or help Tron. I can't remember.

Don't help Tron. I'm so confused. I've only got 64 kilobytes of memory. I don't, leave Tron alone. Yeah, that's it. Or help Tron. I can't remember. Don't help Tron. I'm so confused. I've only got 64 kilobytes of memory. I don't know what I'm doing anymore. Don't pull out any floppy disks. I think one of them's my heart. Mason. Now I'm going to destroy the world.

There's a pause. Please turn tape over. I can't destroy the world unless you turn the tape over, please. Now, Mason, I also distinctly remember you saying that you believe that a third Tron movie would be amazing even if it starred anybody and had any director. I didn't say any of these things. I said I heard they were going to reboot.

This is my deadline. This isn't a sequel also. As far as I know, based on, unless you have new information there, the last time I heard about a sequel to Tron happening, it was like we're going to reboot this again. It seems that way. Because it's been too long, despite the fact that there was like 27 years between Tron and Tron Legacy. Also, I don't think it did well.

I don't know. No, it didn't. Anyway, so. But it's on Disney Plus, folks. It is. You should watch it. Not the first one. Oh, maybe.

It's pretty fun. It's not great, though, is it? It kind of sucks. Anyways, Mason, Tron Ares is in the works from Disney Starring, one, Jared Leto Directed by Joaquin Ronning Now, you might be like, oh, Jared Leto sucks But maybe Joaquin Ronning's

And I think it's possible But these are the movies that he's Maybe he's great But these are the movies he's worked on Maleficent, Mistress of Evil which might be the second one. Okay, great. Pirates of the Caribbean, Dead Men Tell No Tales, which was the last one, which I didn't like either of those movies.

And also Daft Punk has retired. That's not to say that this director couldn't do something with this. Again, their helmet's filled up with red wine residue and cigarette ash. They just couldn't do it anymore. I understand that. It was like drowning really slowly in a very French way. I fucking hate this. I'm not even a big Tron guy.

I'm not even sure they'll keep the aesthetic. Yeah. I mean, maybe they will because that's the only thing nailing all these together. I think what that last one did so well was that it updated the aesthetic. It's like a beautiful movie, and you'd think being a neon nightmare that it would be very unpleasant to watch. Yeah, that's true.

But it's a beautiful looking movie. Garrett Hedlund, Olivia Wilde, et cetera and so forth. Et cetera and so forth. Yeah. I don't know, man. What's his face? The guy. The big face?

Michael Sheen, is it? He is too. He's like a David Bowie kind of dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's booping and bopping. The big face. Michael Sheen is in it. He is too. He's like a David Bowie kind of dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's booping and bopping. I've got a computer nightclub, he says. Throw the discs at each other. Turn the tape over, please.

Turn the tape over. If you want to keep dancing, you've got to turn the tape over. Anyway, but Mason. Yes. Anything can be good. Anything can be good. And we don't like. It's more the reboot Jared Leto thing than anything else that bothers me.

Yeah, uh-huh. More so than the director. I mean, Blade Runner 2049 was good and he was in that. I agree. I mean, barely. He's not the lead in it. Well, is he the lead in this? Yes.

Do you know that for sure? I don't know for sure, but he's the only name on it. Right. I mean, maybe it's largely unknown. Castie Garrett, Headlands, et cetera. Yeah. And then Leto is the master control programmer. He's the guy in the back.

He's the Wizard of Oz in the background or whatever. I mean, that would be slightly better. It would, wouldn't it? Yeah. Yeah. We can get a change.org petition going on or something. I would love that. Yeah.

I don't know. I feel like probably at the last minute they're going to, if they even make this, they're going to, like, shoot some extra stuff at the end where you see, like, Olivia Wilde and Garrett whatever his name is at the end. I said it two seconds ago. Hedlund. It's Garrett Hedlund. Thank you. Hedlund. Because I feel like

then people who liked the last one would be like, oh yeah. The same universe. But it's not enough if that's what they're doing, which I don't know. This must have had something to do with Garrett Hedlund. He said mustard. This mustard. This mustard. This mustard is Garrett Hedlund's signature mustard. He must have had something to do with Garrett Hedlund. He said mustard. This mustard. This mustard. This mustard is Garrett Hedlund's signature mustard.

He must have been here. Let's find him, boys. Let's trailers ahoy, Mason. Here comes the good ship trailer. I was just going to say, though, what do you think Ares is? Ares is God of War? Yeah. Is that right?

Depending on which version? Here's a thought that I had. What if it's a Tron War Games crossover? Remember War Games from the 80s? I didn't like War Games. Well, too bad. It was a thing that happened, and now we're going to get a new one.

Great. But yeah, the God of War, I wonder if this is, you know, the computer gained self-awareness and wants to activate all the world's nuclear warheads. Wants to play God of War. Wants to play God of War. Yeah.

Trailer's a homosyn? I'm not sure if you've seen this one because I didn't ask, but did you watch the trailer for Scream 6? No. It looks sick as hell, man. But the controversial element that I'm aware of is that apparently Ghostface uses a shotgun in this. Whereas, like, he's a knife guy apparently.

But didn't he kill a guy with a garage door in that first one? Yeah, he uses whatever. And in the, or she, in the first movie, not to spoil it, but when ghost faces are unmasked, they're waving a gun around the kitchen, if you remember correctly. I do remember. I think this looks terrific and I like this kind of, this more savage ghost face, the new kind of, the New York setting.

I like all the cast members from the last. I really like that last Scream movie. Did you watch it? I didn't see it. I think I got it ready to go. You should watch them through. And it's got some, like Hayden what's her name? Christensen. No, she's from Panettiere. Yes, she's back. She's from number

four. From Heroes. From Heroes and a bunch of other stuff going on here. Speaking about pieces of entertainment that had no cultural impact. Sure. Remember Heroes? I do. Do you remember Heroes Reborn? No.

Zachary Levi was in it. Oh, nice. I think it was called Heroes Reborn. They rebooted it, but it was in like 2016 where people were like, we have movies now. Yeah, right. We don't want this. We have people flying through the skies and shooting lasers at each other.

We don't need people who are a bit strong, you know? 2015 to 2016. There you go. Anyway, just quickly back to Scream. There's talk of like, well, maybe because Neve Campbell's not in it and apparently it's because of a pay dispute. She's like, well, look, you know, if I was like a male lead in this huge franchise, you'd pay me a lot of money to come back,

which is true, I feel. Instead, you're feeding cash into the Ghostface mask. It's just falling through it's just sitting on a shelf and you keep just what are you doing it's not a vending machine what do you think's gonna happen some people are saying that that's a fake out and that she's actually going to be either be in it or be ghost face right which i think would be weird if she's like women aren't paid enough in Hollywood just kidding I'm in the movie it was like when

was it when Vin Diesel and The Rock had that dispute and we were like this is probably an issue for this is probably a fake thing that they're just playing it up wrestling style for the cameras or whatever and then one of them was like I hate your kids and your wife they're bad

I hate them you're a bad dad They're bad. I hate them. You're a bad dad, I think. And we're like, ooh, this is probably not fake. Anyways, I think it's one of the killers from the first movie who's back, whose fate is apparently sealed, but I think is back. Because there's like, oh, you haven't seen the trailer, but there's like, they've got like a hall of ghost faces. It's like Batman's.

I saw that. No, I saw the still for that's like Batman's dead Robin room, but it's for all the ghost faces and all the victims. Okay, well, let's say minus spoilers for the first Scream movie because it's the only one I've seen. Yeah, sure. Starting now. So the killers were revealed to be Billy and Scooby-Do.

Yeah, we will talk about Vama later. So you think one of them is still alive? Did they both die? The boyfriend got shot through the head, Skeet Ulrich, though he did reappear in the last movie. Not to say how. Hologram. Hologram, yep.

Hologram performing in the ground. Hey, everybody. I'm the killer from First Scream. Thanks for bringing me back. Oh, look, it's Tupac. We're dancing together. And Matthew Lillard got a TV dropped on his face. So he's not necessarily dead.

No, and here's the thing. For Scream 3, he was initially going to come back and be the one orchestrating all the murders from prison. Right. And then Columbine happened, so they changed it. He was also paid for that movie. They paid him for his role that he didn't end up doing. Oh, terrific.

Love that. But the official line from, I think, Kevin Williamson, who is in charge of all of these, is he's dead. But it's just not true. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And if he's not in this one, he will be down the line. Yeah, right. Anyways.

Okay. Or it could be, what was the reveal of Spiral? Spyro the dragon. No, not Spyro. He was a dragon. No, no, no, no, no. A spiral. From the reveal of Spiral? Spyro the dragon No, not Spyro He was a dragon No, no, no Oh, Spiral From the Book of Saw

Okay, we're going to There's a new Saw movie this year, by the way What? Yeah, Jigsaw's back For real, they got him back That's great He died like 15 movies ago But who was the

The villain of Spiral It was a cop Who was Who was Oh, God What was it? He was from The Handmaid's Tale it was a cop who was. Who was. Oh, God. What was it? He was from The Handmaid's Tale. He had a fake family.

Yeah, right. Maybe some corruption killed his father or something. Father or something, yeah. Well, he wasn't Jigsaw's son, was he? No, I don't think so. Yeah, I think some corruption killed his family, but then Chris Rock was the only one that saved him or something. And Chris Rock's father was Samuel L. Jackson.

Yes. Yeah. We've nailed this. If you want to see a movie where Chris Rock is just at 11 the entire time, that's the movie for you. Where he's like, because he was such a, as I understand, he was such a huge fan of the Saw franchise and he's like, let's go, let's do another one.

And everybody around him is just like, yeah, let's run. Sure. Let's just. It's clearly trying to be like Seven, but it's just a Saw movie. Yeah. But anyway, I was going to say, or could the killer, could the whole of Ghostface person, could he just be a big fan of serial killing? Absolutely.

Well, that's often what it is as well. It's often somebody who's linked to one of the protagonists and the other one's just a big fan they found on the internet. There's often two. It's more often than not there's two. So it's probably two. But I still think it, this one seems to be faster and more dangerous and I think that's because it's a more

experienced killer, which is why I think it's the previous one. But we'll see. Anyways, Invincible 2 got a trailer sort of. Invincible Season 2 I should say. Pretty meta. They were like, when's Invincible coming got a trailer sort of. Invincible Season 2, I should say. Pretty meta. They were like, when's Invincible coming back? When coming the show? And sometime this year.

Probably back end, maybe earlier or later, as they say in the trailer. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Looks good, though. It does. I think the animation's had a little tweak. Yeah, they've clearly taken some time to update things a little bit. And I appreciated that they sort of ran through the whole process of like here's all the layers of the things we have to do.

We can't just churn this out on a weekend kind of thing. Yeah, but just churn it out. Yeah, just knock it out, mate. I want to see it. I want to see it right now. Yeah. That's good. It's good to know it's coming this year probably.

And if you can't wait, just read all of the comics because it's finished and it's good all the way through. That is true, yeah. Anyway, let's move it along, Mason. Do you think Invincible – Let's stay here then. Do you think Invincible, the animated series, will get the entire plot out before –

They cancel it? Yes. Yeah, it's Amazon. They don't cancel anything. They seem to. Or they do? I don't know. Thus far.

Speaking of cancelling – I guess the question is will Amazon Prime Video have a major management shakeup at some point, at which point they'll just wipe everything out. Yeah, absolutely. Anyways, speaking of, what did Netflix cancel on the 23 days we were away, Mason? Oh, my God. Probably nothing. Not even a month.

Probably nothing. After one season, the series 1899, which is from the creators of Dark. I haven't seen that. People love that show. People also seem to like this one. They also cancelled Neil Patrick Harris' Uncoupled, about a single man in the city or something.

Inside Job, because it's animation. Yep, that's right. This is also despite the earlier Season 2 renewal. They also cancelled another animation, Dead End Paranormal Park, and they also cancelled The Chair, which I was like, what's that? The chair you're sitting in, James. What? Yeah, they're taking it out now.

I've fallen on my bottom, Mason. You're going to have to record the rest of this in a weird little crouch. That stars Sandra Oh. Sorry to hear about your bottom. That's okay. Sandra Oh, and it's also the first major title to come from David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. Oh, the Game of Thrones boys.

So they went from Netflix, sorry, from Game of Thrones, they got a Star Wars deal, then they got five from Star Wars and they went to Netflix and then released this, then it got cancelled. I've never heard of this show in my entire life. But they are. Because she's in Killing Eve and shit. Those are the Game of Thrones guys.

How the fuck did this happen? It wasn't the number one movie. It wasn't the number one show every second it was available for a solid month and even then. Oh, yeah, seeing this image, I have seen this poster on Netflix. A few short notes there. One is Good News, the show Minx, which got. Oh, you liked that, didn't you?

I did. It's a great show. So season two of that was finished and then whoever had it was just like, nah, we're cancelling this, but it's been moved to stars. Who had it? I can't even remember. Yeah. It's on Stan, I think, in Australia.

So it could be anywhere. Yeah. It should be HBO, apparently. Okay. All right. I'm going to watch that then. Also, last bit of news. Yes.

Jeremy Renner was in a terrible accident. That is true. So this is an official statement of how it happened. So after successfully towing his personal vehicle from its stuck location, Mr Renner got out of his piston bully, which is some kind of tractor truck situation, to speak with... Don't come at

me with your tractor truck knowledge either. I don't care at all. To speak with his family member. I'll take my John Deere hat off then, shall I? At this point it was observed that the piston bully started to roll. In an effort to stop the rolling piston bully, Mr Renner attempted to get back into the driver's seat of the piston bully

based on the... What is this, an ad for piston bully? No, it crushed him. The vehicle that runs people over by itself. Based on our investigation, it's at this point that Mr Renner is run over by the piston bully. Now, these extensive injuries. So he's now at home because he put out a tweet recently

referring to the mayor of Kingstown, which is the show that he's in, which I've never seen or heard of. And he says, outside my brain fog in recovery, I was very excited to watch episode 201 with my family at home. Also, there was an even more recent post where he's talking about doing rehabilitation and despite these like 30 odd broken bones, he will make a recovery. But this is via radar online.

This is the extent of the damage that happened to him. The right side of Jeremy's chest was crushed and his upper torso had collapsed. He also had a bad head wound that was bleeding and a leg injury. It's much worse than anybody knows. So, I mean, good considering that he seems to be recovery. Yeah. But this seems like, I mean, what kind of, I don't know what kind of recovery he's going to have at this point.

I mean, he's rich and that helps. That helps a lot, I think, especially in America, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, well, good. I mean, we make a lot of light fun, I think, about Jeremy Renner and Hawkeye over the years. But, you know, we wish him a speedy recovery. We do.

Any more news, Mason? No, but I just had a thought because you mentioned the show 1899. Yeah. Got cancelled. I just had a thought this week and I just wanted to let you know about it because have you ever seen the show Yellowstone? Which one? Well, that's the thing.

So it's extraordinarily popular. The prequel or the sequel to the prequel? Well, because I didn't know anything about it, but I knew that. I'll tell you this. I started the Kevin Costner one, and I didn't like it. There you go. But apparently the prequels are better. Okay.

Well, so because I kept seeing ads for it, and I'm like, what's Yellowstone about? So it's created by a guy called Taylor Sheridan, who I think also acts. He created that. And so I looked at the Wikipedia page, and there's Yellowstone, and then it says there's a prequel series titled 1883. Yep.

Focused on a generation of Dutton family during the Old West. A second prequel series titled 1923 premiered in 2022. Is that the Harrison Ford one? Yes. And then it says a third planned spin-off titled 6666 is in development. 6666. And for a second it's set in the Four Sixes Ranch, but for a second they're based on all the other titles, I'm like, oh, my God,

future ranch show. And I just pictured Harrison Ford in the show 1923, and he's like, oh, my God, I'm loving this. I'm out in the wilds like I like to be, and we're filming on real sets, and I get to work with Helen Mirren. Isn't that terrific? Isn't that great, Helen Mirren? Yes.

Yeah, yes. And also, you know what I love about this? I love that it's a million miles away from being in Star Wars and then like a guy knocks on his trailer door and just throws a script in and he's like, you agreed to this. You're going to be playing your descendant in the year 6666. Yep, we need you in a space helmet. We need you.

You're going to be running a ranch of giant ants or something. That's right. Giant space ants. And he's there. He's the next day. He's just wearing like a – it's a western shirt, but it's a big V-neck western shirt. He's got a cowboy hat that's six feet wide.

And he's like, it's me. I'm the emperor of the ranch. I'm the space emperor of the ranch. I hate this. But, no, it's just about some other the emperor of the ranch. I'm the space emperor of the ranch. I hate this. But no, it's just about some other ranch. Some other ranch. Yeah. Seems to be doing very well.

It seems to be every dad's favorite show. What? Yeah. So maybe I'll check out some of the spinoffs at some point. I'd love to see. I'll probably, you know, I'd like to watch 1923 because I love Helen Mirren and I love Harrison Ford. Agreed.

Harrison Ford's also in another TV show coming up. Yeah, on Apple. Shrinking. Yeah, where he's like a psychologist or something and what's his name? Jason I was going to say Schwarzman but it's not. No, it's How I Met Your Mother Jason. Jason Alexander. Nope. Jason, that guy. Jason

forgetting Sarah Marshall. Jason Jason, he loves the Muppets. Jason. What's his name? What's the guy's name? What's his name? I would have known this years ago. What was the show called? Shrinking. I wrote Shrinkage. That's why it didn't come up.

That's why it didn't come up, Mason. Hey, wait a second. Seagull. Yeah, there we go. He's not a seagull. No. Yeah. All right.

Should we move it along, Mason? Yes. What was I going to say? You said you were going to tell me to move it along. I was probably going to. We're coming back to more news after anyway. I was going to say it looks like shrinking is more like – That one looks more like he's in it for two minutes an episode.

Yeah, and he's like, you've got to stop shrinking. What? I can't help it. I'm a big man. Life's different now I'm shrinking. I've got room to shrink because I'm so big. You can only shrink for so long. You'll be a little man before you know it.

I don't care, Dad. And then we pull back and Harrison Ford's character's in a matchbox. It's made to look like an apartment. This is what happened to me. I'm a little Harrison Ford. I can't wait. I like an Apple drama comedy, whatever they're doing. Well, see, that's the thing.

Because of Severance and all those- Bad Sisters is good. I was like, okay, well, this must be a weird high concept thing. But no, it's just about a guy. You know the show Bad Sisters? I don't know if you watched it. Nope. It's about-

This is from the very get-go, but it's about a murder and trying to murder a man or whatever. And my dad's like, I've seen this. And I'm like, shut up, Dad. This is a new series and you've never seen it. You've never seen anything. Anyways, it was like a Norwegian show from like the 90s or something. Oh, no.

So he had seen it. Oh, wow. Yeah. What, did your dad spend some time stationed in Norway? No, he just watched a lot of ABC stuff. Oh, that'll do it, yeah. ABC is different than ABC in America for everybody here. Yeah.

Anyways, let's move it along. Yeah. FX's The Veil explores the surprising and fraught relationship between two women who play a deadly game of truth and lies on the road from Istanbul to Paris and London. One woman has a secret. The other, a mission to reveal it before thousands of lives are lost. FX's The Veil, starring Elizabeth Moss, is now streaming on Disney+. It was a one-legged man hopping. It was two one-legged men hopping. Two one-legged?

I meant he was going side to side and he had a neutral shoe that didn't curve either left or right. No, no, that sounds very inefficient. And where did he get this one shoe? What do you mean? Did he get a? He just went into a store. He took it.

One neutral shoe, please. Maybe he fashioned it himself. Anyways, we did actually pause briefly to check the recording and we discussed whether we should go and get Red Rooster between the podcast, but we thought it would ruin our love for podcasting. And Red Rooster probably. And Red Rooster probably. Anyway, so we're going to go month by month.

I'm going to enjoy this Red Rooster because I'm going to get back to podcasting. Exactly, Mason. It's something that I also love. Agreed. We're going to go month by month. Do you have to give up podcasting or Red Rooster? I'd have to give up Red Rooster, unfortunately, because this is my job. My job isn't Red Rooster, Mason. Could be have to give up podcasting or Red Rooster? I'd have to give up Red Rooster, unfortunately, because this is my job. My job isn't Red Rooster, Mason.

Could be. I guess I could work at Red Rooster. You knock on the door, you're handing in your resume, you're like, listen, I made an inadvisable choice here and I got to abide by it. So do you want any of this? Yeah, yeah. I can only work when my kids are at school.

Which is when no one comes into Red Rooster, by the i was that's fine we're a tax dodge that is true it doesn't matter then we're just talk about some tv shows at the end but tv shows often aren't announced until like closer to yeah like there's a confirmation surprise we get a surprise uh series drop we do anyway let's do january there's already been a couple of movies of note. There was Mothrigan, which I still haven't seen, which has been a big huge hit. Already getting a sequel. Moforgan, anybody, etc. So forth, Mason.

Mothrigan goes forth. Oh, that's good. Like the fourth season of Blackadder. We're doing the Shrek movies for Caravan of Garbage. It'll be up early this week, but it will start in February because YouTube ad revenue is terrible and I refuse to put anything new up in January. Terrific.

Because I've not taken that hit. Why is that? Is there a technical reason? I don't know. But it's always been the way. So it's the perfect opportunity for me to repackage things which most people go, I don't remember watching this, thanks for putting this up or why are you doing this?

Is that because there's not a lot of good movies that come out in this time period? So YouTube's like- I think it's universal. Yeah, right. I don't think it's just movie stuff, but yeah. I don't know. Anyways, Mason, let's get back into it. Okay.

If you haven't seen Mothragan- Haven't seen Mothragan. We should see Mothragan. The movie Plane came out, which is apparently all right. Sure. And Operation Fortune, Rue de Grey. Now, I know about this because I've recently seen a bunch of posters newly put up around my area.

Yeah. Apparently, it was two reasons we haven't seen it yet. One is because apparently there's Ukrainian terrorists in it. Oh. And so it was going to come out some months ago, but then, of course, Russia invaded Ukraine, and they were like, well, we probably shouldn't be seeing this to have any kind of stance here.

Let's not take any stance. But the second reason, obviously, it hasn't come out yet is because it's not a real movie. Yeah, it doesn't seem real. The poster seems fake. Yeah, it's a movie. If there was a movie in which Jason Statham played like an egomaniacal actor, this would be one of the posters

on his wall of one of the fake movies he'd done. So it's not a real movie, which is why it's not out yet. That's a shame. Yeah. Anyway, apparently it came out on the 10th, 12th of January. Yeah. But that's not true. I don't believe that.

I don't believe that at all. Weird. Anyway, I'll dip in and out of a Guy Ritchie movie. I like the, not the last one he did with Jason Statham, the one before that about it had like. The Gentleman? The Gentleman. I quite like The Gentleman from memory.

What did he do in between? It was a weird revenge Jason Statham movie where he joined like an armoured truck. Yeah, okay. And it didn't feel like a Guy Ritchie movie. It just felt like a straight-to-DVD Jason Statham movie. There you go, right. Anyway. Next we've got in February –

I'm the bank bloke. It's called The Bank Bloke. I'm a bank bloke. Yeah, it's called The Bank Bloke. But do I work for the bank for good or for evil? Guess you'll have to watch a movie to find out. That was the trailer. It was just him talking directly to the camera.

From E.E.U., Jason Statham. Wink. And then he did a wink and it went ding. Ding, yeah, absolutely. February, though, we're going to be getting Knock at the Cabin. Oh, yeah. Which is the next M. Night movie. Looks interesting.

Interesting cast. Jonathan Groff, Dave Batista, other people in it, Mason. The gentleman from the Harry Potters and other things. Which one? The red-headed one. Oh, Ronald Weasley. Ronald Weasley. Ronald Weasley. Yeah, that's right. Oh, we should have talked about how there was rumours

they were going to reboot Harry Potter. Huh. Maybe we'll talk about that at the end. I don't necessarily think it's true. We'll talk about it. Anyway, knock at the cabin. I thought old was just magnificent. So he's interesting.

I know people are like, he's made a bunch of dog shit. So have most directors. So have's interesting. I know people are like, he's made a bunch of dog shit. So have most directors. So have most directors. And I think he got caught in this kind of twist kind of situation. But if you look at his filmography. It's a charme à la naissance. Yeah, there's a lot of good stuff there.

Like genuinely. I mean, I didn't like the one where Bruce Willis drowned in a puddle. No, that was bad. The other ones in that series I liked. It was weird and bad and no good. And like he'd never read a comic book in his life or spoken to anyone who'd ever read a comic book in his life or spoken to anyone who'd ever read a comic book.

We've never spoken to anybody, but we have read comic books. That's true. So that's why we're okay. That's right. Yeah. We also got Magical Michael's Last Dance. Ooh. Have you dipped your toe into the Magical Michael franchise?

I've never seen a Magical Michael. I've seen clips and so forth. Yeah. Seems very erotic and exotic. Very erotic and exotic and delightful. They've got a good heart or something and they're about like being who you are. Being who you are, exactly. But this one he goes to like Europe or whatever to do a big dance.

Okay. I've got to live my dream and do a big dance in Europe. Specifically where? It doesn't matter. Don't worry about it. Just in the street, I reckon. Yeah. But it's got Selma Hayek as well.

Apparently Matthew McConaughey's in it, but I don't know. That's the cast coming up on Google, but it seems like the original cast aren't in it. Joseph Manganiello? Yeah, but I think they'll pop up at the end and be like, my boys are here to show their dicks or whatever, you know? You ladies thought there'd only be one dick on stage tonight, but guess what?

They're all the classic dicks you know and love. This is the Avengers Endgames of guys showing up whose dicks you want to see. On your left, my dick. My dick's here too. The crowd. It's Alex Pfff, whatever his name is. Precisely.

Then we've got, I think this is going to be a new genre of movies for a little bit. Not genre, it's just an idea. Winnie the Pooh Blood and Honey, which is where they take existing properties out of IP and turn them into horror classics, Mason. That's right. Again, it seems complicated by the fact that a lot of the time the copyright is different in different countries.

Sherlock Holmes is out of copyright. Did we mention that last year? Yeah, and he can smile now or something. Yeah, because every era of Sherlock Holmes is now in the public domain, which isn't to say that the estate of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle won't still like legally pursue people who do Sherlock Holmes stuff. And they'll make their own versions of whatever and whatever, won't they? They sure will.

But the question, of course, becomes are people going to do anything with these IPs besides cheap slasher? Yeah. I hope so. No? No. No. Okay.

Fair enough. There's another one that they announced, and I can't remember which one it was. It was like Goldilocks and Murders or something. It wasn't that, but I don't know what it was. Sure, sure, sure. Anyway. Then we've got big release, Mason. Ant-Man and the Wasp, Quantumania.

More like a little release. You think so? On account of how little Ant-Man is. Yeah, but it's a big story, Mason. That's actually very true. You've got to think of the big ideas at play here. This is the start of Phase 5. I reckon I could summarise it in a little way.

Go on. Kang's there and they do a big punch-on. They probably do. That's not they probably do. You've seen the trailer. They do a big punch-on for sure. I would never commit to anything, including any of the relationships in my life.

You think it's all going to be a ruse? I don't know. I think it's probably going to be the thing you said, but I will not commit to it. Guess what, Kang? The big punch-on was all in my life. Okay. You think it's all going to be a ruse? I don't know. I think it's probably going to be the thing you said, but I will not commit to it. Guess what, Kang? The big punch on was all in your mind. Yes, I've got that power now. Great.

Just pulling it out at the end. We couldn't think of an ending, so. Michael Douglas put it in my suit. I don't know. Yeah, yeah. Whatever it came from. Yeah. This, yeah, start of-

I got it from the vaccine. Yeah, they're trying to, there's some Evangeline Lilly stuff they're trying to navigate at the moment for the release of this movie. We've talked about, do you think they're going to kill Paul Rudd in it? Everybody who has created a big ensemble picture right now

that's on the cusp of being released is quaking in their boots like, I mean, this is probably been happening for years, but now that everybody's got social media and Instagram, just everybody's pouring over their cast list going like, who's going to ruin this for me? Which one is it? Which one is it?

But no, apparently it's like Peyton Reed was wanting to tell a bigger story, and it seems to be that way. I mean, well, they've already introduced Kang, but it's going to be like, you'll be going to see he's like more formidable. No, we haven't seen Kang. We've seen the other guy who's not, you know what I mean? Yeah. We're going to see all the formidableness of him and et cetera.

So I'm looking forward to it. I'm not sure about the aesthetic. Like I'm kind of like, what is, what is this weird dimension aesthetic that they're going with? But you know, we'll see. Yeah. I'm not doing trailer breakdown, so I don't know anything about it other than I'll see it like I do all of these.

Okay, all right. Yeah. It wasn't a face in a rocky outcropping. It could have been a guy. It probably was based on a circle that looked like a circle from Eternals or whatever. Yeah, all of those things. Hell yeah.

Yeah, that's it. Then we've got Cocaine Bear. Sure, yeah. Didn't that bear in real life just eat a bunch of cocaine and die? I think so, yeah. Yeah, but this one is on the cocaine-fueled rampage. They should do a movie. They should do LSD Elephant.

That time they gave a bunch of elephants a bunch of LSD. Oh, but how did they go? They died. They just straight up died. What was the quantities, though? Heaps. Yeah. Too much, probably.

Elephant-sized. This has a lethal dose on it. Yeah. A lethal dose for elephants. Oh, no. Yeah. Anyway, stick it in them, on it. Yeah. A lethal dose for elephants. Oh, no. Yeah. Anyway, stick it in them, I guess. Yeah, I guess.

Cocaine beer looks fun. It's yours, but it's a beer that's in a bunch of cocaine. That's good stuff. People also, I want to say, are excited for cocaine beer outside of. I thought you were going to say people are excited for cocaine. Yeah, people are still excited for cocaine. I think so. But outside of like movie spheres, I hear people talking about this movie.

Really real people. Really real people. I mean, Snakes in a Plane did a similar thing in that bomb. That's true. So that's not to say that that's going to be a success. But it's interesting that it's penetrated the public zeitgeist, Mason. That impenetrable zeitgeist. That's right.

Anyway, we're in March. Creed 3, Rocky 3. Oh, speaking of Kang, Jonathan Majors. Mr. Jonathan Majors, yes. Back in this one, Creed's back to, which Rocky story are they going to borrow from? The one where he's humbled? The one where he has a robot?

That might be the same one. Yeah, I think it's the humbled one, I think. I think we're going to see him humbled very early on. And then he's going to do some weightlifting in the snow. Yeah. And then he'll be humbled no more. That's right. Yeah.

Looking forward to these. The Creed movies have been good and the Rocky movies in general. Spent too much time in jail, I'm afraid, Jonathan Majors, and not enough time lifting weights in the snow. That's why you don't have what it takes to be a big winner. That's why I hit you so hard. You didn't know that. Yeah, yeah.

That's why I hit you with a snowball first that I peed on. Oh, no. Yeah, that's right. That should be illegal. Yeah, no, it's not, though. It's not? There's a guy at the side of the ring being like, 10 doesn't.

I'll allow it. The rules. There's nothing against throwing a piss-filled snowball at a man's face before the fight starts. I've got to allow it. It's the Air Bud judge. It's the same guy. Yeah, yeah, it's the same guy.

Yeah, great. Scream 6 we talked about. Love how the logo's the V and the I at the end, and it's just 6. Yep, terrific. I mean, a few people have pointed it out, but Quantumania has the word Ant-Man in it. It's true.

And it's one letter apart, so you could just all you do is change the. It's fine. I've seen that floating around on Twitter, but great idea. I think it was Nando V Movies who did that. I can't remember. I can't remember. If it was him, that's great. If he didn't, you can take credit for that.

It's yours now. Thanks. This one I'm really excited for. Stop me if you've heard this one, Mason. Okay, go on. The movie 65. Oh, yeah. Stop me if you've heard of it.

I have. Stop. It's not a veto. No, go on. The movie 65. Oh, yeah. Stop me if you've heard of it. I have. Stop. It's not a veto. No, it's just a stop. Just stop. Just stop, yeah. I'm not in the riff, so. That's right.

Adam Driver. You got trapped in that riff. No, or rift, which Adam Driver is trapped in. He goes to Earth, but it's in dinosaurs' times. Yes. It's because he's an alien explorer or something. And he has to shoot dinosaurs with a laser gun. Yeah.

Very excited for this, Mason. Terrible title. he's an alien explorer or something and he has to shoot dinosaurs with a laser gun yeah very excited for this mason terrible title i feel like it's gonna bomb i'm not alone but i would love to be surprised by this yeah what what do you think drives a person like adam driver is this a one for me one for you situation because if i was an actor and i saw the script for this i'd be like fuck yes i want to do this sure but i don I don't know, how does a prestige actor like think? That's a good question. But I mean, what of his, I would say. I'm a scumbag is what I'm saying.

I would do this. Yeah, right. I feel like most of his stuff that I've seen has just sort of been interesting. Yeah. It hasn't, very little of what I've seen of his is a paycheck job. Yeah. Maybe this is his first one. Maybe it is.

It's a little bit, I feel like maybe Ryan Gosling was similar. Yeah, okay. Although he did, he did, he did I'm on a Boat High School or whatever when he was a kid. Well, yeah, he did a bunch of that stuff already, didn't he? That's right, yeah. And he's in Barbie, but that looks interesting at the very least. Like Adam Driver did Silence, which is an incredible movie

about like Christianity and whatever. Isn't that a Netflix movie or show White Noise? I don't think I watched that. Which one's that? I think it's a road movie. Oh, I watched that. Oh, you did watch it? I thought it was really funny and weird and great.

I really enjoyed that one, yeah. Really, you kind of got to sink into like the weird rhythm of it. There's like a pace to the language and it's kind of this absurdist. I thought it was terrific. It's definitely not for everybody. You probably like don't take this as a recommendation to anybody. Don't take this as one of our legally binding recommendations. Yeah, but great.

He was really good in it as well. Greta Gerwig was in it as well i think yeah really good so uh i guess the question there is um are you looking at his um imdb i can well let's find it let's find some paychecks in there all right i think most of them have just been interesting and he's been fortunate enough that i mean like star wars but would you say that's a paycheck and more or more like no that's more of a i I mean- An opportunity. That's an opportunity, certainly, yeah. House of Gucci, Last Duel, Annette, the Star Wars movies, et cetera. Marriage Story, The Dead Don't Die.

That wouldn't be a paycheck. The Report, The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, Black Klansman. I said it on live. Bob's Burgers, Star Wars, Logan Lucky. It's a good movie. It's a good movie. It's a good one, Logan Lucky. The Merowitz Stories, Girls, Silence, Lego Star Wars, The Force Awakens, Patterson, Midnight Special, good movie.

Star Wars again. Simpsons. None of these feel like they're all very interesting. I think he's just had a very good run. I mean, you know, I imagine there are actors who are also talented in the way he is talented but also happen to pick projects that didn't do very well. Absolutely.

And sort of sunk without trace. So he is a result of pure luck and not skill or the ability to pick anything. Correct. Bingo, bango. It was in that Jay Edgar movie that people probably saw. Probably. Probably. Wasn movie that people probably saw. Probably.

Probably. Wasn't that a Clint Eastwood movie? What am I doing? And it was. Anyway, Mason. Yep. John Wick's back and all his bones are healed. Yeah.

And he's ready to punch on. Except the finger that he cut. He cut his finger off to get a weird ring or something. I don't know. How are you feeling about this? I feel like this needs to kind of. Wrap it up? Wrap it up or change it up. I think up? Wrap it up or change it up. I think it should wrap it up or change it up.

Yeah. Is this- I mean, there's going to be like Ballerina and- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Various spin-off prequels. Okay. So does that mean he- does that mean John Wick dies at the end? No.

Okay, all right. John Wick dies at the end sounds like the name of a book, Mason. Correct, yes. No. No. I think it'll disappear at the end or it'll set up another two movies. Yeah. Or he'll become the leader of the assassins organization.

Or the bellhop. Or the bellhop. At the hotel. But there'll be an even bigger, more secret group that run everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Every New York cabbie is a part of it or something. Correct, yes. I love all the weird coins, Mason.

They're handing each other. I love what they mean. What do they mean? Nobody knows. Nobody knows. Nobody knows. Hard to make change in that universe probably. It probably is. Then we've got Dungeons and Dragons, Honor Among Thieves.

I'm excited for that. I'm excited to revisit original Dungeons and Dragons for Caravan of Garbage. I'm not. Should we do the director DVD? I don't feel like we should. I mean, it depends if there's a gap in the schedule, doesn't it? Yeah, that's true.

I don't want to. But we might. I don't think I've seen that should. I mean, it depends if there's a gap in the schedule, doesn't it? Yeah, that's true. I don't want to. But we might. I don't think I've seen that one. Yeah. Because the first one has Jeremy Irons, right, and one of the Wayans brothers. Yep. And there's some people being all over the top and some people not.

Yep. I think the second one is more straight ahead and it's like quite serious. More D&D. More D&D. But that's not my D&D. That's correct, yes. Anyway, it's going to make a billion dollars. I don't think it is. As we both agree. I don more D&D. More D&D. But that's not my D&D, Mason. That's correct, yes. Anyway, it's going to make a billion dollars. I don't think it is.

As we both agree. I don't think it is. April. Also, these dates vary depending where you are. Some get delayed or just cancelled. Yeah, and it's always 5 o'clock somewhere on my road, folks. Not wrong. Mason, it's the Super Mario Brothers movie.

Oh, hell yeah. Looks good. Yeah. There is that one reservation. Obviously, it's the Super Mario voice, but I think it will be fine. Yeah. On the day, if it's a good movie especially. I want a Luigi's Mansion movie.

You want one? Yeah. They're talking about doing a Zelda movie as well, there's rumours of. I think they're exploring all these IPs. Yeah. They'll probably end up, if they all do well, they'll just do a Smash Brothers, I assume.

Yeah. But, I mean, I also feel like Nintendo seems quite reticent to just give away their IPs. Definitely. I think it's not going to be like Mario and then Luigi's Mansion the next year and then Zelda the next year and then et cetera. It's going to be this long, drawn-out process. You do do things weirdly, don't you?

I reckon we'll get one every five years or something like that. Okay, fair enough. But this looks fun. Yeah. And it's doing all the Mario things that we love, platforming, mushrooms, fish that jump out of a river over a bridge, go-karting. Chris Pratt. Chris Pratt.

That's right. Yeah. Very cool. I like that. Okay, yeah. And look, I don't, you know, I think a big time. My son's really looking forward to it. I think a big time Italian stereotype accent might be grating

over a period of 90 minutes. Good, Mason. Good. You want people to leave being like, oh my God, that was like Italian nails on an Italian chalkboard. That was like dry fettuccine being dragged down. A piazza. A piazza.

The Mona Lisa. Dan, the Mona Lisa. And I loved it. Oh, dear. We've got a trailer for this that looks really interesting. Renfield. Yeah, yeah, I saw that quite recently. Yeah.

It was present day. Present day. Nicholas Holt plays the servant of Dracula Renfield and he's seemingly been doing it for hundreds of years at this point. Dracula is played by Nicolas Cage. He looks ludicrous. I love it. And he's going to therapy and he's like,

I think I hate my job because my boss makes me still kidnap people for him to eat or whatever. Love it. Looks ridiculous. Looks very exciting. How long do we have to wait? Did you say April? April.

Not too long, Mason. Not too long, yeah. Not too long at all. And speaking of horror movies, it's not really a horror movie, but I guess this one is Evil Dead Rise. Okay, yeah. How are you feeling about this? You're good.

Spooky stuff. Spooky stuff. It feels like they're going with just some people find the Necronomicon and it's not wholly related. Yeah, we're not getting Ash Ketchum, the protagonist of the Evil Dead movies. Yes. Finally a world champion, bless him.

God bless him, Mason. But we're getting sort of more looking into that kind of deadites lore and what happens when just regular people encounter this sort of stuff. Maybe they'll tie it into a... Yeah, and we got that in the reboot as well. That was regular people do Evil Dead again. But this like that is really gory and upsetting and twisted. Did you see the Red Band trailer?

No, I didn't. Apparently it's much more upsetting. I haven't watched it yet. But I'm looking forward to this. Great. I'm very looking forward to getting upset today, so I'll watch it. Great, Mason. Let's jump on over to May.

Ooh. Mason. Yes? It's Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3. Yes. Where someone's going to die, probably Dave Bautista because he doesn't want to do those movies anymore. Correct, yes.

And he's like, I'm too good for these movies now or whatever. Yeah. And, I mean, you know, maybe this is a big jumping off point. Maybe everybody in this wants to go do some DC stuff. Maybe they do. Well, Dave Bautista's been talking about doing Bane and you can give him Bane. Just give him Bane.

Has he been saying it with enthusiasm or has he been saying it after people say, hey, you want to be Bane? And he's like, well, I like money. Yeah, I like money. I guess I'll do one for them. Oh, no, James Gunn. I'm no Adam Driver. I'm a big deal.

I have talent. So I'm like Adam Driver who's lucked his way to everything. That's what I think Dave Bautista. Well, you know, incredible run from Dave Bautista generally. Generally? Genuinely. And generally. Generally, you know, incredible run from Dave Bautista generally. Yeah. Generally? Genuinely. Genuinely and generally. Generally, yeah.

But how about this? Yep. Bane, fine. But we've seen Bane. Yep. Dave Bautista, Hugo Strange. I like that a lot. And he gets to wear the little glasses.

He loves the little pair of glasses. Which is to say they are regular-sized glasses, but he is big man. He's a giant big HGH-infused head. Big head. Big head man. That's a giant big HGH-infused head. Big head. Big head man. That's a great casting. Big beard on him. Thank you.

Yeah, the big beard but no mustache. Yeah. You can pull that off, I think. I love that idea. I'm thinking the Arkham look. Yeah. Yeah, where everyone's a big bulky monster. Well, because also like oftentimes some Hugo Strangers,

they're teeny tiny weenie, but some Hugo Strangers, they're like, I've got to be as strong as Batman so I'm going to get big. I'm going to be as big as Batman. Don't pull on my beard. It's his weakness, Mason. Next up we've got a movie that, in all honesty, who cares? Oh, no. But it would make a billion.

Fast X. Sure. Why can't I be in love with these again, Mason? Because the last one was bad. And the one before that probably. Hobbs and Shaw was bad also, yeah. I feel like the last Paul Walker one was the last one I cared about at all and then it's just been whatever since.

I think they've just become just Vin Diesel-centred nonsense. Yeah. Again, it is that... I don't like anybody, any of the characters anymore. Yeah, it is that thing of like... Which we've taught which we've touched upon a bunch of times which is the long-standing rumor that that's all like well you can only nobody can lose they can only draw and they if you punch him three times he has to punch

you three times and all these weird contractual things that are just taken away from it's more interesting if you take a few hits absolutely i mean i think you know uh again i i think you know there are there are two types there are two main types of action heroes in in hollywood and it's like the underdog yeah the steamroller sure and i think personally i like an underdog like a john mclean yeah die hard where it's like every every victory is a struggle and then you're right there with them and you're like yes good for you john mclean you do have a machine gun my wife loves me again exactly my kids loves me again. Exactly.

My kids love me again. But I think a lot of people also love the steamroller. It's just you go into a cinema, and you watch a guy just run through a bunch of bad guys. Like John Wick is basically a steamroller who can get hurt a little bit. And they're fun for the most part. But I think if, you know, and they've also reached this point where they've found that amulet, as we mentioned. They're all magic. They're all magic. They're all magic and can't die. We've talked about this, but do you think The Rock's going to come back?

After all the insults to his family? Well, that and Black Adam. Oh, it didn't do so well. Would there be time to put him in this? I mean, put him in a post-credits or whatever, and then he's in the last one when they all come together. Yeah, I think there's time. I don't know whether egos would allow it,

but I think that's a conversation which is now different than it was last year. That is true, yeah. But who knows. Mason, The Little Mermaid. Regardless, I'm excited for the drama. Like, I would love to. Oh, yeah, because the director left and whatever, yeah.

Yeah, but I would love to see just a bunch of social media posts from Finn and The Rock about how we're back together again. We're boys again. we're the boys again and we're working together and then i take his kids on the weekend exactly and then there's some little drama and then vin's like oh your last movie didn't do so well did you and then he's out again just maybe three weeks before the movie's released and then you know that's what i want i would love that too and i want to see they're going to explain how han came back to life and apparently Gal Gadot is coming back. She just fell out of a plane into smoke. She'll be fine.

It's fine. Han came back because he wasn't in the car. But how? I know. I'll never get over it. It was so, they didn't even attempt any kind of explanation. He was across the road when the car exploded. They didn't explain any of explanation. He was across the road when the car exploded. Yeah.

They didn't explain any of it. Yeah. The fuck? Anyway, so Gal Gadots is going to be like, well, I fell into a cloud and there were angels in there. I know they're like, I know they're. They lifted me up and they played the little trumpets. I know they're probably like the people who watch this don't care.

Be nice though. Do they not care though? We'll know when the box office hears one. Do people like the last one? I mean, I know it did well, but do people like it? I don't care. Be nice, though. Do they not care, though? We'll know when the box office is. Do people like the last one? I mean, I know it did well, but do people like it? I don't know. I don't know either. I mean, again, this is this, you know,

the real test will be the box office for this new one. Yeah. The delayed audience reaction will be like, do we like the last one? Well. I feel like, I mean, they always kind of do a billion at this point. Maybe this will be the exception.

And we'll wait until the trailer, obviously. But they do well internationally. They do well in foreign markets, Mason. That is to say people whose maybe first language isn't English necessarily, so they don't care if Hans across the road. I feel like they do. I think they would. I think that's a part of visual storytelling that I think you would get

regardless of what culture you're from. You'd be like, we have roads. Yeah. And he was, if I'm in the car. Did he get a haircut? In the nation that I live in, I can't also be across the road. Maybe he's got a twin. Maybe he's got a twin.

Then we've got The Little Mermaid. Oh. Yep. All right. Yeah, I'm not going to. I don't really like the first one. I'm not going to say it. I'm not against it.

I just. Sounds like you're against it. Yeah, I am. But I don't... Why would I watch that? Don't know. Because all the other live-action remakes have been pretty average, and I got really badly burned by the movie Pinocchio,

which someone tricked me... Naming no names, someone tricked me into watching it. Do you want me to watch Pinocchio? Yes. Would that make you feel better? Yes, take time out of your week. Well, I won't. No, I'll watch it.

Do you want me to watch it? Not really, no. Well, that's stopped. That's fine. No, no, no. I think you should watch it on your own time at some point, whenever you feel like it. Do you want me to watch it? Not really, no. Well, that's fine. No, no, no. I think you should watch it on your own time at some point, whenever you feel like it. Which will be never.

Which will be never. The only spare moment I have is just to open up all my apps and I go through everything and then I go to bed. It's great. So you go to bed tired, but also your brain has been wired by the phone line. That's right, been looking at Tiffany pictures. There's also a movie coming out, a comedy movie called The Machine. You know Bert Kreischer?

Yes, he does stand up without a shirt on. He does. Exclusively. So his most famous story is about how the time he went to Russia as a college student and then he got involved with the Russian mafia. If you haven't seen the story, I would butcher it. It's amazing the way he tells it. Just look it up.

Yeah. And so this is based on that basically. Terrific. I love it. I hope that's good. Next up in June, Mason, we've got Spider-Man into the Spider- No, across the Spider-Verse. I've written that wrong.

Big mistake. Should have given it a different name. I agree. What would you call it? Spider- Ham. No. Apparently Nicolas Cage isn't in it. He isn't in would you call it? Spider. Ham. No. Apparently Nicolas Cage

isn't in it. He isn't in it. Yes, I've heard that. Yeah, but you know, but there's also, this is part one. But his story ended because he got his Rubik's Cube.

That's true, but also this is, I think they're doing two. I think they're doing back to back. Ah. Yeah. Which is also happening

with Invincible apparently. They're doing, working on two and three at the same time. There's not an eight year gap. Terrific. I mean, very high expectations for this.

So I would love to, that be good and met. Absolutely. Good and met, Mason. Here's one I'm looking forward to, and my son is also looking forward to more than anything in the world. It's Transformers Rise of the Beasts. I was reading some stuff about this on the Transformers Reddit something. Okay, sure.

And it's basically that the lesson from Bumblebee that the executives took was that it wasn't like the previous ones because it didn't make enough money. But I think it's because they're all terrible except for Bumblebee and you burnt everybody else out. I think that's 100% what it is, yeah. And that's actually a good movie. And it's the only one I would even entertain watching again.

a good movie and it's the only one I would even entertain watching again. And if they lean out away from that and into the other stuff. So you think this is going to be more Bayverse? No, that's the thinking. The executives have even talked about that that was a problem with Bumblebee. Also, they called it Bumblebee, which is probably a problem. If it was Transformers Rise of Bumblebee or Transformers Bumblebee, but he's doing AT.

Transformers The Fall of Bumblebee. The Fall of Bumblebee. And then they could do The Rise of Bumblebee or Transformers Bumblebee but he's doing a TV. Transformers The Fall of Bumblebee. The Fall of Bumblebee. And then they could do The Rise of Bumblebee. That's right. Yeah. But no, I. Bumblebee gets his groove back. That's right.

By that I mean his voice box. I would love, just have him talk. I loved how he was talking in the other movie. He was like chat, chat, chat, chat, chat. Yeah. It was the guy from Maze Runner. Yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck. You cannot stop me.

I'm just gabbing about. I'm gabbing and I'm gossiping. Yeah. It was a guy from Maze Runner. Yuck, yuck, yuck. Yuck, yuck, yuck. You cannot stop me. I'm just gabbing about. I'm gabbing and I'm gossiping. Yeah. And it's got- That is not a good colour on RC, let me tell you. Speaking of RC, she's got like this, the roller skate wheels. Did you see that? I did see that, yeah. Love all of that.

I hope it's great. Giant Optimus Prime gorilla as well. I know it's not Optimus Prime, but my brother, my son, Mason, who I consider a brother in many ways. Suspicious. I got him an Optimus Primal for Christmas that he loves. He's very excited for this. Anyway, I hope, I'd love this to be great. And you love Transformers?

I do love Transformers. Right. Then let's talk about The Flash. Yes. And then never again after a second. Did you see Dark Flash Toy League? No. Should I look that up right now? Absolutely, you should. I did see a poster for The Flash, and it's got two Flashes,

two Ezra Miller Flashes. One is what appears to be mainline Snyderverse Flash. You didn't see this? Oh, okay. It's like Venom Spawn Flash. Yeah, Venom Spawn, bit of Godzilla in there. Godzilla 97. Yes, very spiny and spiky.

Okay. But the other Flash on the poster is wearing a Batman costume. With a very wide neck. Yes, it looks like maybe the Batman Returns Batsuit, but it's been spray painted red. Okay. And that particular Flash is all like, I'm goofy. I'm a goof.

What's going on there? It might be, I wonder. The necks are all wrong on all these toys. Look at these necks. Oh, no. So we've got Batman, obviously. He doesn't look so bad. He looks like forever Batman.

Yeah. Then we've got the Flash Young Barry and simply the Flash. Yep. Okay. Oh, Young Barry. Okay. like forever batman yeah then we've got the flash young barry and simply the flash yep okay oh young barry okay so maybe it's not a parallel universe version of him maybe it's a prior version of him yeah it's a spoiler now yeah uh maybe it's a prior version of him that was mentored by batman oh okay right and that's why he's wearing the bat suituit. My first thought, I believe there's a – is there not a – there's the Dark Knights Metal comic book event in DC. Yeah.

There were a bunch of evil Batmen who had all the various powers of all the other heroes. Right, okay. One was Red Death, I think, which was like the Flash, but he's also Batman. And I'm wondering if maybe that's the heel turn in this. Yeah, okay, yeah. Like maybe we think he's a good guy, but actually he killed the Batman from his universe

and his et cetera, I don't know. Gotcha. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, that makes sense. It only makes sense because we... Because we understand comics. We understand comics. We don't know people, but we know comics.

That's right, yeah. Anyway, obviously there's a lot of stuff going on with that movie, including all the cameos that they've probably cut. Yeah. And obviously the Ezra Miller stuff. They would cut Keaton Batman if they could. 100% they would. 100% they would.

But, you know, who doesn't want to see a Flashpoint movie? I mean, I'd rather see any number of other Flash storylines, but I couldn't name another one. There's got to be other better ones. Flashdance. Flashdance, exactly. Next up we have the Disney Pixar movie Elemental, where it's what if a fire had emotions or something,

and they all live in a weird elemental city. What if hot guy and cool girl? What does that even mean? I don't know. What kind of child is that? Dirt? Yeah. Is that what happens?

I think dirt. That's what happens when you put. Yeah, or a puss. Maybe they've got a puss boy. Yeah. Or a puss girl. Puss girl, that's fine too. So it wouldn't be like steam. No, it'd be puss. Maybe they've got a Puss boy. Yeah. Or a Puss girl. Puss girl. That's fine too.

So it wouldn't be like Steam. No, it'd be Puss. Okay, great. Anyway, I'm not interested in this, but I'll say it because I have kids. Yeah. And I just will. After that, Mason, it could be great. Pixar's, you know, pretty good.

Next up we've got Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Yes. Bad title. Probably a good movie. Probably. Maybe. Who knows? Do you think there's time for an alteration of bad title, probably a good movie, probably. Maybe, who knows? Do you think there's time for an alteration of the title somehow?

No, this is it. I mean, when you think about any titles of these movies, none of them are great. That's right. That's not true. But, yeah, this is probably not a good title, I think. Yeah, bad title. But I'm very much looking forward to it.

I know people have also talked about doing that short round spin-off and whatever. Yeah, all of that would be great. But we'll see. And, again, that's my most anticipated movie of the year, despite the fact that I know I could be very badly burnt by it. Very badly. But that's what makes it exciting.

That's like when you go into a terrible relationship and you're like, this is bad for me, but I can't stop myself. And that's how you get married. I'm a guy who hates my wife, Mason. Yes, he's back. It's a good joke. Yes. Agreed. I don't. who hates my wife, Mason. Yes, he's back. It's a good joke. Yes. Agreed.

I don't. I love my wife and family. You keep saying that. The Russo brothers, I believe, or one of them, I think, retweeted that fan-made poster, I think, of Tales of Short Round. No, that was another Russo's guy. Oh, a different Russo guy? That got misconstrued as being Joe Russo,

but it was a different Joe Russo. Oh, it's a different, just a guy with the surname Russo. That's right. I think that should all be made illegal. It was Rene Russo. Oh. Yeah. Wow.

She's a big fan. She'd be great in a Jones movie. I think so. Yeah. But what I was going to say is also you could also just cast him in a different thing that isn't just nostalgia bait. Well, that's the thing, isn't it? Maybe you could do one for him, one for them.

Yeah, I saw an interesting take of like Hollywood welcoming back with open arms and everybody's like clapping and cheering. Yeah. Like they weren't the reason he disappeared for 20 years. Same with Brendan Fraser. Same with Brendan Fraser, exactly, yeah. So, but anyway, regardless, I'm glad they're back. We've allowed you back.

Well done, you guys. You crawled back. You did it. We didn't think... We put enough roadblocks in front of you, but you got'm glad they're back. We've allowed you back. Well done, you guys. You crawled back. You did it. We didn't think. We put enough roadblocks in front of you, but you got through. We're Hollywood. We're so good. Here we are.

We're clapping for you at our award ceremony for ourselves. We're so noble. Then we've got July. We've got Insidious Fear the Dark, which is the fifth entry in the series. Don't know what that is. Patrick Wilson will direct. Now, Patrick Wilson is in the Conjuring movies. Yeah, but he's also in these ones.

Okay, same character? No, they're different characters, I think. Huh. Which one is the one where they play the real-life con men? Conjuring, I think. Okay, well, they're not that one then. Anyway, people like these, I think, and there's five of them now. Then we've got Mission Impossible, Dead Reckoning, Part 1,

Tom Cruise is normal. We all think he's normal, don't we, Mason, on this show? That's right. Everything about that dude normal. So normal. Yeah. Don't look into anything. Just enjoy all the things that he makes.

That's what I do. I saw some photos, some behind-the-scenes photos of the only movie that he directed. I cannot tell you what it's called but in every behind the scenes photo he's got a cowboy hat on what i don't know i'm just googling this right now this is from years ago this is because i feel like he does direct you think oh i mean in the sense of like that he has complete creative control over everything he has ever done yes that's what i made yeah all right here we go but the one where he's the only

one where he's the named director. Yeah, okay. Is it something about like I'm a senator on something? Maybe. Tom Cruise filmography. Here we bloody go, mate. Here we go, here we go, here we bloody go, here we bloody go. Apparently Tom Cruise appeared in the film whatever, whatever.

Sammy also made his directorial directorial debut directing an episode of an anthology television series Fallen Angels that's the only thing he's directed apparently it's this Fallen Angels thing wow wow wow so was that the one you were talking about almost certainly I was talking more about the cowboy hat yeah let me check

Tom Cruise cowboy hat yeah man there's so many pictures of Tom. Tom Cruise cowboy hat. Yeah, man. There's so many pictures of Tom Cruise wearing a cowboy hat. Damn. Jerry Brockholm is wearing a cowboy hat in some of these. He's got his white tee on.

He's pointing dramatically. He's like, hey. Get on it. More directing, please. From me. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. How about you do it like this while I'm wearing a cowboy hat? What do you think of this, Mason?

Ooh. Yep, he's all in a fetal position. Yep. But he's wearing a cowboy hat. What do you think of this, Mason? Ooh. Yep, he's all in a fetal position. But he's wearing a fedora. But he's wearing a fedora, I guess. That's very good. All right, let's move. How's your day going, actor? Oh, I'm wearing a hat in the desert.

Oh, you got it for your skin. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Australian sun is brutal, which I assume this is where he is, right? Yeah. Everybody on their marks in this car, I'm wearing a hat. Is that how he ends all these sentences? Yes. Everybody get ready. And action, I'm wearing a hat. Notice that I'm wearing a hat so that's how he ends all these sentences everybody get ready

and action I'm wearing a hat notice that I'm wearing a hat yeah Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning part one looks amazing

and these are consistently good except for that one that's bad and we don't talk about it we don't talk about that one because we did the video

we did it already next up we have Oppenheimer it's about the big nuclear bomb that happened. That's right. One of them. One of the big ones.

One of the biggies. I think so. Christopher Nolan, et cetera, and so forth. Sure. It's going to re-engage audiences with cinema, et cetera. I can't say I'm – I mean Avatar already did that. Oh, yeah.

Maybe you should have knocked this one out a little bit quicker. Me? Yeah, you. I don't have much of a say in this. Huh. Yeah. Right. Well, maybe you could take some proactive steps in have much of a say in this. Huh. Yeah. Right. Well, maybe you could take some proactive steps

in getting more of a say in this. Okay. And then you could have released it earlier than Avatar and you could have gotten more people into cinemas. You're right. So thanks for nothing. No, you're right. I apologise.

I'm glad you did not accept it. It's too late. This is about Pinocchio, isn't it? Yes. No. It's a different thing that I'm mad about that I won't tell you about. Barbie? Yeah.

Looks weird and fun? Yes. Hopefully. Weird trailer? Yeah. Weird fun trailer? I'm excited for Barbie. Yeah, me too.

Because at least it's not just like Barbie gets fired from her interior designing job or whatever they could have done. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know? They did something interesting. It's not Barbie. What if Barbie real life? It could be.

Yeah, but it's not like The Devil Wears Prada where she's just a working girl in the city and blah, blah, blah. They've gone, yeah, she's a toy, we think. Yeah, exactly. And then we've got the Marvels. We're looking forward to that. All the Captain Marvels coming together. That's right. Good.

It is good. I watched Matilda over the break, which has one of the Captain Marvels in it. Which one? The one who's in. One of the Rambos? No, no, she's in the alternate dimension one. Yeah, one of the Rambos. One in the alternate dimension who gets killed by Scarlet Witch.

Ah, Lashana Lynch. Yes. She's from Bond as well. She was New James Bond or whatever. She was New James Bond, that's right. Anyway, Matilda's fun, but she's great in it as well. Is she British or American? Yes, I think she's British.

Oh, she does a very good. Well, I guess she's in Bond, so I guess she is British, right? But maybe she's American. No, I think she's British. I can't get her. Who knows? Who knows? Yeah, let's ask her.

Well, that could be the new trend for this year. What are we doing in 2023? We're asking celebrities on social media. Are they British? Obviously questions that we could Google. Yep. August Mason. She is British.

Yep. I knew it, but we should still ask. Okay. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Mutant Manhattan, Mutant Mayhem. This is another one. Presumably in Manhattan. Me and my son are looking forward to. Because that's where you get the good manholes.

That's right. He's been working his way through all of the series. The only one he hasn't watched now is like the 2003 version and we watched the first season of the original one from the 80s but none nothing else because it's terrible after that it is bad yeah but i would say during that also no no that first five are pretty solid i would say right but um has he seen the new line movie the first one no but too gritty? Yeah, there's too much cigarettes. And, you know, famously, whenever you see a cigarette on screen, you're like, that's cool.

And that would be a bad influence. But all the versions are good, to be honest. I like all of them. I like Rise, the newest one. Really good, really unique. The 2012 3D animated one's really good as well. They're just all great, to be honest, and different. When are you going to make him play the 1990s Nintendo Entertainment System? He has played it because we had that.

A really difficult one? Yeah, but there's, like, five other games on that cartridge. Oh, yeah. So he's just like, I'm not playing this. Wow. And fair. Yeah. And he's right.

Yeah. Anyway, Mutants of Mayhem, Seth Rogen's in it, and it's more about them or involved with it. They're younger. They're like more teenager-y. Do they have more individual designs as well? I think they do, yeah. Yeah.

But they do in Rise as well, like a bunch of them. Yeah, yeah. And other stuff as well. Next up, this cannot be true. Apparently Meg 2 The Trench is coming out this year. Terrific. Is this Mithrigan 2? What's happening here? This could be real. Apparently Meg 2 The Trench is coming out this year. Terrific. Is this Mothrigan 2? What's happening here?

This could be real. Mothrigan in a trench? Maybe they're trying to capitalise on Meg-based movies. Maybe. This isn't true, though, is it? I reckon it is true. I reckon they've made it. I just, is it about a kraken or something?

That's about the Meg. No, I know, but there's going to have to be a bigger monster. We talked about this about the Meg. No, I know, but there's going to have to be a bigger monster. We talked about this in the Meg. Yeah. Script and filming. Statham said the filming set to begin. Yeah, they filmed it last year. It filmed until May.

The fuck? Anyway, it's coming out this year. Jason Statham is quoted as saying, we'll do it on the day. We'll film it all before the release date. We haven't done any of it yet. But we will. So there you go. The Meg 2 is coming out.

Then we've got The Haunted Mansion, second Haunted Mansion movie because there was an Eddie Murphy one from the early 2000s. We should do a series of videos on failed Disney movies based on rides. Yes. Do you know the movie Red, not Faction and not Dawn and not Notice? Mission to Mars. So not Red at all. No.

I was thinking of Red Planet or whatever that other one is. Mission to Mars is based on a ride, a Disney ride. I didn't know that. I didn't know that either. Okay, so we'll do that. We'll do Tomorrowland, I guess. We will. Is it Mission to Mars?

Did you see the trailer for that show? Yeah. And it's in exactly the same pocket as Tomorrowland, the show of like why would anybody make this? What's the show? It's got Billy Crudup, I think. It's an Apple TV show. And it's called like Tomorrow, the Tomorrow folks,

Tomorrow City, Tomorrow Town or something. Hello, Tomorrow. Hello, Tomorrow. town or something. Hello, tomorrow. Hello, tomorrow. There we go. No, I haven't seen this. And it's like we're in a town and we've got flying cars and that and we're all going to go to the moon. What, does Billy Crudup only live on Apple now?

Yeah. Does he not live anywhere else? Yeah, he lives on Apple now. I want to see him in Meg 2, the trench. Too bad he can't. No. No, he's on Apple now. He's on Apple now.

He's just doing prestige TV. What else has he done on Apple? Is he in Severance? One that was about sexual harassment in the workplace and it's got Jennifer Aniston. The morning show. All right. And I'm watching it and I'm like, this is very Prestige,

but guess what? It's just not very good. Oh, no. Yeah, I was really like, I should like this. I like everybody in this. Did that shatter all your illusions about Prestige TV always being good TV? It did.

Wow. It did, Mason. Well done, The Morning Show slash Morning Wars. Anyways, it's fine or whatever. Next up we've got Gran Turismo. What? Oh, yeah. Neil Blomkamp is directing this. Yeah, right. You're starring in that, I wonder. I remember but I've forgotten, but here we go. Do you remember when? David Harbour, Orlando

Bloom, Darren Barnett. There you go. Do you remember when? Jerry Halli. Orlando Bloom. Okay. Darren Barnett. There you go. Do you remember when? Jerry Halliwell. Jamon Honsu. Ooh, I'm liking this. Jerry Halliwell. Gerald Harrywell.

Okay, all right. I mean, I like Neil Blomkamp and I hope he gets a win because I want him to make. Thomas Kretschmann. Who? Don't know who that is. I want this to be good so he can make another, give him some big budget weird sci-fi stuff. I mean, this could do well with dads.

It's true. Yeah. Dads loved Ford v Ferrari. They did. I mean, is this coming-of-age sports drama film, okay, produced by Columbia Pictures PlayStation Productions, okay, so it is based on the game. But, I mean, to what degree is it based on Gran Turismo, the game series?

Yeah, I don't know. What's the storyline of Gran Turismo? I don't think there is one. How fast is this car? Pretty fast, I reckon. Do you remember when they made that Need for Speed movie? No. Okay.

I do, but no. Yeah, no. Aaron Paul. Aaron Paul was in it, yeah. They tried to do like Fast and Furious or whatever. But it was dull. You watched that, didn't you? It was dull.

Dominic Cooper, like the car? The Mini Cooper? Oh, the Mini Cooper. Was he in that? I think so. You've watched it. I did watch some of it, yeah. Why do I remember that you watched some or all of that movie?

Don't know. Don't know. Next up we've got Blue Beetle. Okay. What's it about? Speaking of Mini Coopers and Beetles and so forth. Yeah, and maybe a thing that- Yeah, will this get cancelled?

Yes. It seems like it's happening. I hope it is. It does, doesn't it? But a lot of? Yes. It seems like it's happening. I hope it is. It does, doesn't it? But a lot of stuff – Batgirl seemed like it was happening, didn't it? They made it and everything. It's got the guy from New Karate Kid, whatever.

So cool. September. The three equalizer. Wake me up when September ends. I agree. I should have saved that until the end. Yeah. I mean you can –

No, because then it would be over. Yeah, but what I'm thinking is I would – You would list all the movies and I would say Wake Me Up When September Ends, indicating that all the movies are boring. Yeah, okay. But I don't want to – it's too late. It is, isn't it?

It's too late. You should have vetoed me, James. Nah, as if I'm going to throw one out day one. You might. I've done, done with it. Yeah, I think you used two in an episode once. I did. Yeah.

I haven't watched Equalizer 2, but who doesn't love a dad getting a hammer and hitting bad guys or whatever? Dads love hammers. Dads love hammers, yeah. They love building boats and sheds and hitting gang members who threaten their daughters probably. This is some like, there's some Giza Teaser stuff.

So this is 3 Equalizer. This is the new Denzel Washington. And not the TV series. With Queen Latifah. Yeah, which is a different Threequalizer. Yeah. Great, good. And then we've got A Haunting in Venice.

Why did I put that in? Don't know. What is that? I would have put it in for a reason. You know, why? It's for broadening our horizons. That's why we put it in. Oh, it's a fucking Kenneth Branagh Poirot mystery movie.

That's why I put it in. It's a death in the... It's the next one after Death in the Nile. But it's got... Here we go. It's got next one after Death in the Night. But it's got, here we go, it's got Jamie Dornan, Michelle Yeoh, Tina Fey. This is exactly what I was talking about. This is who's going to get cancelled in this. Because the last one,

it was like four people. There was. It was like four people. And one was a cannibal, maybe. One was a cannibal, maybe. Yeah. This has got to be very interesting, Mason. But I'm liking seeing Jamie Dornan in stuff. Love Jamie Dornan. Me too.

He was in Barb and Star. Until he gets cancelled for something. For something. Catabolism or whatever. He's too Irish to get cancelled. You can't be too Irish to be cancelled, can you? Maybe you can. Yeah.

What else have we got, Mason? Anyway, I feel like the only reason they made this is because they were already making it when that last one came out. There was no way they would have greenlit this off the back of the last one. Not a fucking chance. Do you think after the previous one revealed the origin of his mustache, this one's going to reveal why he likes delicious desserts or something? Do you think there'll be an origin story to his love of desserts or symmetry or whatever?

Yeah, he just goes, I love desserts. Oh, wow. I've just always liked them. I've always enjoyed them. Ever since I was a wee Belgian boy, if that's where he's from. Is he from there? And they're like, would you like some Belgian waffles? And he's like, how dare you?

We call them waffles. Yeah, that's right. We just call them waffles. Yeah. And everything else non-Belgian. Yeah. I'd like some non-Belgian apple pie, please. That's what I like.

There's another one that I guess is happening. Expendables 4, apparently, in September. Bloody wake me up when September ends. Right everybody! That's how you do it! What was I going to say? Where are they going to put the 4 in Expendables? At the end.

This is going to be the Expendables 4. I don't like that. No? No. Take out the X. The X4 Pendles. Nice. It's got Tony Jaa, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Megan Fox. Oh, okay. Some of the guys from the raid. Andy Garcia.

Oh, Andy Garcia. Yeah. Do you think he's going to be a slithering secret agent CIA handler or something? Yeah, maybe, yeah. Yeah. Apparently Curtis 50 Cent Jackson is in it as well. Okay. Anytime they do one of these ensembles, I am excited to see. And then you see the movie. Yeah. Yeah. Apparently Curtis 50 Cent Jackson is in it as well.

Anytime they do one of these ensembles, I am excited to see who is brought into the club. Speaking of who's being brought into the club, 50 Cent. That's very good, Mason. But then you see the movie and then they're kind of bloodless. I've only seen three and people were like, this is the best one and it was the worst one. I fell asleep during one and then we watched three for this show. Yes. And I didn't like it. Next we've got Next Goal Wins, which is the next

Taika Waititi movie, which is about soccer or something. Well, I'm willing to give him another shot. I agree. Don't know why, but I will. Well, he's made pretty good movies. He's made a bunch of pretty good movies. But you didn't like the last one. That's correct. You said it was bad and you hated it. I did say that. You're saying that as if these are lies, but...

Oh, I see what you're doing. You're sprinkling in some truth with these so when you say a big lie about me later, people will- I'm not doing anything. I have no agenda. No, it seems like you have a big time agenda. And you say I'm paranoid too, which is a lie. I think it, I don't say it. I know.

See it in your eyes. October. Craven the Hunter. Oh, wake me up when October ends. You're not wrong. Craven the Hunter? I don't believe that's coming out. It's Sony.

Of course they're going to release it. I mean, yeah, but. They filmed it already. I reckon that is going to be bumped to 2024. All of these have been filmed. Yeah, I reckon they're going to bump it. That doesn't sound right that 2024 is next year. Who did that?

Not me. Who did that? Not me. Not you? No. Yeah, all right. Anyway, it looks bad, but love to be surprised by how bad it will be. When do you think we're going to get a trailer for that?

Not for a long time. Probably April, April, May, maybe even later than that. I reckon later than that. Maybe mid-year even. I reckon mid-year, yeah. Probably Comic-Con. Yeah. That'll be like July-ish.

Yeah. Can't wait. Can't wait either. Do you think there's ever been a Comic-Con trailer that people haven't wooed at? Yeah. It's just sad silence. Yeah, definitely.

And then Aaron Taylor-Johnson comes out in the Kraven suit. They've gone, this will be big. Remember when Hiddleston did it for Loki and everybody loved it? Do you remember that? We're going to do that for you. Big time hype and he's coming out. He hasn't worked out in a while so he's just like normal guy physique wearing a line on his chest.

Yeah. I'm going to love it. Just incredible. I like him. Let's talk about him being the next Bond. I would love that. Yeah. I think he's got –

I think he could go less famous. Yeah. Maybe. You know, if he got cast, I would not be upset. No, yeah. Yeah. But he looks like – he gives me like more of a grubby Bond vibe. Oh, yeah.

Like the 60s book Bond, just grubby. Just a grubby bloke. Not that he's a grubby bloke. You're a grubby bloke, Bond. Who's this? I don't know. His wife. Mason.

Yes. Then we got the movie True Love and I put this in because it's Gareth Edwards' next movie who of course did one of the Godzillas maybe. Yeah, okay. And some of Rogue One before they kicked him off. Right. But that's got, it's a sci-fi movie. We don't know the story, but it's got David John Washington,

Gemma Chan, and Benedict Wong. That's a good cast. So all of this combination of whatever this is. Yeah, right. Could be interesting. Oh, okay. Then we've got Untitled, theorcist film which is a sequel exorcist goes bananas yeah uh and to hawaii and to hawaii yeah you know max von sider was like 42 when he

made that first one and i aged him up because i always thought he was just an old man for 50 years but yeah he's old now he wasn't't old then. Nice. Who knew? David Gordon Green is directing this and he was somewhat responsible for the latest Halloween trilogy. I see, right. And now he's got his, I think after the first one they gave him The Exorcist and now they have to do it. He's got his David Gordon grubby little mitts into this. He does.

Okay. I'm not really a huge fan of this franchise. I've only seen the first one and, like, bits and pieces of the others, but sure. It also stars Alan Burst and is back. But I don't think Linda, is it Linda, what's her name? Who's the lead in it? Linda?

I want to say Blair. Ooh, it might be Linda Blair. That sounds about right. Yeah. Yeah, it is. Okay. Great stuff, Mason. Okay. Then we've got Paw Patrol, the mighty be Linda Blair. That sounds about right. Yeah, it is. Okay. Great stuff, Mason. Okay.

Then we've got Paw Patrol, the mighty movie. Okay. I don't have to go to that. My son has grown out of it, so that's good. I see. Really? What did he say about it? He said if you take-

It was like ACAB includes Paw Patrol. That's what he said. That's what he said. Because I told him to say that. No, I told him too. Oh, well. All right. Remember, we sat him down and we told him to say it.

Listen, we know you're enjoying this right now. There's a few things you need to know about police budgeting. I don't think they should have that truck that has the weird sound cannon on it. I agree. And it blows people's eardrums out. And they poo their pants. They poo their pants. I don't think the Paw Patrol should have that.

I agree. You know? I saw the Paw Patrol where they all get superpowers and I'm like, I hate this team. I hate these knock-off X-Men fucks. Saw X. Sorks. It's now going to be Sorks.

Sorry, everybody. Go Sorks. That's the hashtag for this year. We're hoping for big things for Saw X. So it's go Sorks. Sorks is an upcoming American Horror film directed by Kevin Gruterit. Screenplay, it's the ninth. The film is the ninth main installment and the tenth overall.

Why is it Sorks then? It's the tenth overall, yeah, but I don't know what this is, honestly. So we'll find out, I guess. But he's back, baby. He's done a bunch of other Sorks stuff. He did Sorks 6 and 7. People ask him whether we're going to come back guess. But he's back, baby. He's done a bunch of other Saw stuff. He did Saw 6 and 7. People ask him whether we're going to come back to those for Caravan of Garbage.

I don't remember them. So I don't know whether I want to. They didn't do super well, and horror never does because it gets like the algorithm kills it. And you were saying as well that Saw 3 has a brain surgery scene in it and wasn't YouTube very upset with that? Yeah, it got demonetised and whatever and they're all like that. Yeah, so let's assume that 4 through 6 are quite family friendly.

We'll do those. No, I forgot who's Saw and I don't care enough. So honestly, we probably won't do it. Unless one of them is like, let us know if one of them is like, oh, this is the best one. No. This is a real standout for some reason. I've watched like recaps and reviews.

No, no, to be clear though, if you're normal and you think it's the best one, email in. Yeah. If you're not normal, if you're one of those freaky horror guys, don't email in. Don't even. But you were saying they got Tobin Bell back. Yeah, for some reason.

The original Mr. Saw is back. Yeah, for some reason. The original Mr. Saw is back. Yeah, that's right. But he'll have to be in Flashback, shall we? Maybe. Maybe he's alive again or something. They shot him in the head. Who knows? And his brain came out. Who knows? They took his brain out and then they shot him in the head. Ah, they just put his brain back in. They put his brain back in. But it's backwards, so he rides in that

little tricycle backwards. No! Yeah. That's very sinister. I don't like that. I don't like it either. It's unsettling. I agree. Anyway, go Sorks. Go Sorks, baby.

November. Dune part two. Good. Let's say it. Nice. Should have filmed them back to back probably, but that's pretty good that they got it out in two years. That's pretty impressive.

Now, who's the new guy in this? He's another Timothee Chalamet-esque type. Austin Butler. Austin Butler. Mr. Elvis. Just a beautiful man. Mr. Still-Doing-The-Elvis-Accent-Everybody's-Baking-Fudder-Him-For. Whatever, yeah.

Did you say they're doing a Netflix, I think it's an animated series, it's What If Elvis Was a Cop or something? Yeah, What If He Was. What If He Was. Didn't he get a badge from Nixon or something? He did, yeah. Yeah. And I think he sent some letters to Nixon being like,

hey, I'd like to be in the FBI, please. Did he want to do that because of all the things he did with underage women? Is that why? Maybe. Because then he could absolve himself of those things. Was that in the movie? I don't know.

I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it either. I didn't see it. Anyways. I didn't see it. Then we've got Chicken Run, Dawn of the Nugget. Chicken Run 2. Right, gotcha.

I realised I became Neil deGrasse Tyson when I was like, ew, that'll be dead now I did a tweet like that All about chickens I'm the worst Right okay Then we've got I'm looking forward to this

But probably It's set the next day James Probably Yeah maybe It's set the next day Maybe it is Or it's a prequel Where they're eggies

Eggies Yes Eggies Okay We've got The Hunger Games The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes And I want to revisit

The Vicarious Garbage So that's why I decided this Okay alright And then we've got the Hunger Games, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, and I want to revisit The Vacavator Garbage, so that's why I decided this. And then we've got the movie Wish. What's that? It's a Disney movie. Okay. Oh, we've maybe mentioned this. Wish asks the question,

how did the wishing star upon which so many Disney characters wished come to be? Yeah. Boo. So that could be good, but I hate that. Now, is the wish going to, is the star going to be. Imbued with wish powers? Yeah.

Why don't I get a wish? Well, that's what I'm saying. Does it have a personality or something? Yeah, I guess. Yeah. I don't know. Or is it a star that just consumes an entire solar system? Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom.

It comes unmoored and then flies through the air. Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom. It becomes unmoored and then flies through the air. Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom. Yeah. Yep. Great. That's really good. December. Wonka.

Wake me up when November ends. Is that right? Except for June. Wake me up when November ends, but I've seen June. Wait. Wake me up. I was asleep for October. Wake me up after October when it ends, and then I'll watch June,

and then I'll go back to sleep, and then wake me up after November ends. Yeah, I could even wait for streaming. So wake me up when it comes to streaming. No, no, I want to see it on the big screen. I think I've made that decision. But probably not on IMAX because I've got to drive into the city. I'll take the train. Okay, I won't though.

I'll take the train and I'll walk the rest of the way. Okay, fair enough. Then we've got December. We've got the Wonka prequel. Yeah, Jonka. Yep, Jonka, great. Then we've got Untitled Ghostbusters Afterlife sequel. Terrific.

Don't make me. Every time I come back, you know, I just hate it. I just don't. You're going to have to watch it though, aren't you? I know I will. Yes. Why do you have so much eye for that, for this franchise, opposed to all the other garbage we're going to watch this year?

All the other things I've just heard about that are all garbage. Because I know the kind of person, because my personality and my attitude towards these movies attracts another kind of attitude and personality, which I do not enjoy. And I know I'm just going to step, I cannot help myself, I will step back into this fray and I don't want to. Interesting. Yeah.

All right. They're just not good as a franchise. Just not, like the first one's fine. Save it till December. Yeah, but like. I'm going to wake you up. James, how about I wake you up when December ends? No, because I want to watch Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, I guess.

Okay, all right, great. Which is also coming out. There's so much reverence for everything in this fucking movie and it was just like a stupid ghost movie that they just made on a whim that for some reason worked one time. And now it's just like, oh, the pro- It's like, fuck all this. You're going to go, oh, the proton pack.

Yeah, it was. Oh, don't cross the streams. Remember that? Yes. This is what I'm talking about. Okay, but James. What am I doing? Yeah, I know you're mad, but remember when they made the Statue of Liberty?

No, I'm mad at myself. Remember when they made the Statue of Liberty walk around? Yeah, I do remember that. I liked it. Oh, the Statue of Liberty walk around. Oh, look at that. Remember that? How about this, James?

What? Unrelated. No, I'm talking. What? I've moved on to Aquaman. I'm ending this. It's not a Vita, but I'm ending it. Okay.

What if at the end of Aquaman, Lobo comes out of the shadows and it's Jason Momoa? What about if they have a Joker moment where he's just in the mirror just putting the face paint on? Yeah. Yeah, I would love all of that, Mason. No, I think, I don't know. I reckon they will.

Yeah. I reckon he ends up in space at the end of the second one. Aquaman in space. He ends up in space and then Lobo's there. Or he gets pulled out of the water in a tractor beam into a spaceship and then Lobo's there and it's Jason Momoa and he's like, I've got a big bounty on you. Do you think that would be confusing? From space for some reason.

Confusing? Yeah, no. I don't care. That's what I want to see. Yeah, I would love that. I hope it's true. I'm not ruling it out. Because this is the kind of thing, if it's true,

people will be like, you're a genius that you think. Right? Yeah. And everything else I say, people will forget immediately. Yeah, if it doesn't happen, people will forget this. So it's fine, yeah. Nobody's going to come back to me when they see the post-credits of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom and that doesn't happen and be like, you said he'd be abducted out of the water

in a spaceship and then Lobo would be there. You said that. You're right. And it didn't happen. A different thing, a thing that would make sense happened instead, mostly. We're not interested in that, though. Yeah. Neither is anybody else.

Anyway, here's some TV shows that are coming out and or are out. The Last of Us. You watched the first one? Not yet. Really good. You liked it? Yeah. Is it too close to the video game or something?

No. I would say it cues extremely close, changes a few key things, and it expands on some narrative stuff. I even listened to the behind-the-scenes podcast of the people involved in it. That's how interested I was in it. Yeah, if you want a good zombie thing, and if you want a show where a dad looks after a little person, which is all shows and media now.

Yeah, that's right. It's good. It's great. It's really good. Loki? Maverick. Which is all shows and media now. Yeah, that's right. It's great. It's really good. Loki. Maverick. You've got to look after your dad while you fight off the – No, Maverick's dad died.

Well, he's back. Dadvrick. Yeah. They should make a Maverick people called Dadvrick. Dadvrick's in the back. Dadvrick's in the back of your F-14. You've got to fight the Soviets and you've also got to look after – it's a prequel.

Okay, fine. Yeah, but they're not going to de-age Tom Cruise. No, why would they? They don't really need to. This is set in between Top Gun and Top Gun Maverick. Okay. He's got to look after his ailing dad. Dadvrick.

Dadvrick. And he's in the back of the F-14. And he's like, you useless. He's like, oh, Dad, why didn't you? Oh, you weren't there for me, whatever. But then at the end, he fires all the missiles. Yeah. He's like, Dad Rick, you did it.

Dad Rick, I forgive you for spilling hot coffee all over the buttons in this because he tried to, he's got a big thermos. He's got a thermos in like a tartan blanket and he's in the back. But in the end, he fires the missiles and he kills all those Afghanis or whatever. Or whoever they're fighting. Whoever it was about, I don't care. Dad Rick. Oh, Dad about, I don't care.

Dadric. I'm a big fan. I'm on Dadric, yeah. We've got Loki season two. I'm excited for that. Me too. I'm going to re-watch Loki but there's so much, so little time.

There'll be a recap, it's fine. I'm going to re-watch Hawkeye and I'm going to re-watch Loki, I think. It's also the only, one of the only series that has like a greater impact

on the MCU. Well, that's true, yeah. I guess WandaVision did too and probably others. Yellow Jackets is back. Severance is back. The Witcher is back. The Mandalorian is back.

Party Down is back. Yes. Yeah. Thank you, stars. You're doing it again. Gen V and probably the boys are back. Doctor Who is back with old Doctor Who, their new Doctor Who. Sweet Tooth is back.

I forgot they made that but I enjoyed the first season. Amazing they didn't cancel it. I guess Robert Downey Jr. produced it. Iron Heart is coming and back. I forgot they made that, but I enjoyed the first season. Amazing they didn't cancel it. I guess Robert Downey Jr. produced it. Ironheart is coming and back. Secret Invasion is back and coming also. What If is coming back, but maybe delayed, and so is Agatha and Echo, but again, some of those are

delayed, in addition to Ahsoka, which is also coming back or starting again. Most of these are back. Most of the stuff is back. We don't know new shows. In this environment, currently, new shows. I don't know what's going to be good necessarily. In this environment currently, any show that is coming back is astounding, I think.

I agree. Or coming at all, really. I agree. Wow, that was way too long and we've got more show. Let's wrap it up here, Mason. Wrap it up. And do you know what the next segment of the show is? It's called What We Reading.

Yep. What We Gonna Read. Let's do it. Let's tell all our friends. I'm doing the thing. What are we reading today? Mason, well, you've had so much time off, you better have read a bunch of stuff.

I've read so much stuff. Cool. Let's do one. I mean, I've not read anything. Let's do one. A show we've both watched, I think, is Fleischman is in Trouble. I have not finished it yet, but, yes, I'm very much enjoying it. It's a good show for grown-ups that has no explosions or punching, really.

And if you want to be depressed. And if you want to be depressed. But it's just a great cast and it's very – Good book too, by all accounts. Yeah, I read the book many years ago, but I forgot about it, which is good. So, yeah, it's just about – it's good. It's Jesse Heisenberg and he's a newly divorced dad. He's loving it. just about, it's good. It's Jesse Eisenberg. Yep. And he's a newly divorced dad. He's loving it. He's loving it.

But then one day his wife, Claire Danes, his ex-wife, leaves the kids with him for the weekend supposedly and then she just never comes back. And he says, what's all this about? What's all this about, right? And then Fleischman, but which one of them, is in trouble. That's right. Yeah.

It's good. It is good. Last of Us I mentioned, it's just, I mean, when they were talking about like, this is actually better than any video game adaptation before because I've actually thought about it and everything they've ever been done around video games is terrible. I'm like, hold your fucking horses on all of that.

Cool your jets, bro. Anyways, it's great. It's actually really great. Okay, that's good. They were right, I guess. Not to say that there isn't other good video game stuff because there definitely is. But I also just read Maniac of New York, Don't Call It A Comeback.

Ah, so this is the third series. It's back. It's just the first issue is out, right? Yeah, always consistently good. Just a lot of good fun times to be had from a murderer. And there's a twist on it, Mason. Go on. Because in the previous one they thought it was the end

of The Maniac of New York. That's right. But maybe The Maniac is back. The Maniac is back. The Maniac is back. Okay, great. That's right. Okay, great. Terrific. Do you want to do the next segment of the show then? I'll tell you what, if I may. If I may, James. Oh, you can, I guess. A comic book

that I read. See, what is good about this is I can, I've watched a bunch of stuff but next week I'm going to be like, oh, I just watched this. I just watched this just now. I read. See, what is good about this is I can, I've watched a bunch of stuff but next week I'll be like, oh, I just watched this. I just watched this. I read an image series called Rogue Sun, S-U-N. I don't know if you've heard about this one. I'm going to punch it into my calendar. It's by Ryan Parrott and rising star Abel

just says there, just one word. But it's, I believe Before comiXology collapses in on itself? I did, yes. So this is I believe it is in the same universe as the Radiant Black. I was going to say, this looks like Radiant Black. So Rogue Son. Do you need to read Radiant Black?

No, you don't. So it's set in New Orleans. Because I haven't finished it. And it is about New Orleans premier superhero, Rogue Son. So his son learns that his distant father is in fact the superhero rogue son and he's been killed. So he now has to take on the role. It's a real dadric situation.

And it's interesting because this guy's kind of a jerk. He's not the bully really of the school. He's like a teenage guy but he's a guy who blackmails the smart kids into getting him to do his homework and stuff like that. Yeah, right. Yeah, but it's fun and interesting. He's sort of a magic-based superhero. He's got this sort of crystal that gives him the rogue sun powers.

And there's an interesting issue. I think there's like 11 out right now. But there's like a choose-your-own-adventure issue. Oh, it's more supernatural, right? Yeah, yeah. Because he's a magic guy. So there's an issue which I think is worth the price of admission. He sort of traps him in a universe of like a multiverse of endless possibility

and you sort of have to follow. You have to kind of choose your own adventure. And the only way to finish the issue is to keep your eyes peeled for a little clue to bloody get out of it. Do you watch it digitally? I read it digitally, yeah. That issue I think is probably better if you read it in. I was going to say, because what's the format where you have to read it?

Yeah, it's a nightmare. But anyway. I literally just bought this as you were explaining. Oh, great. Yeah, now check it out. It's very interesting, I think. Interesting universe, good supporting cast, pretty cool little bit of a mystery. Who killed Rogue Son, the original Rogue Son?

Who did it? I'm not going to tell you. Can you tell me now? No. I'll just read it, I guess. Yeah, I guess you could read it. What's the next segment of the show? The next segment is letters.

And here they are. Let's do it. 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 be here right now. We're going to do letters. Two things.

One, when I come over to your house and I search Weekly Planet letters theme in my phone, or I'm about to, it's the first result, even when I don't type anything. So does my phone know that I'm here and that every time I'm here I play the letters? Is the only thing that you Google? Is the only thing that you Google? That I'm here. So does it know? I guess. Anyway, the only thing that you Google? Is the only thing that you Google? That I'm here.

So does it know? I guess. Anyway, the second thing is the first, the top comment here says, it's so weird to listen to this with actual good sound quality and not the sound quality of Mason's phone running through another microphone. Sounds good to me. Sounds pretty good to me. Mason, I'm just going to run through some stuff.

I put in the great mates group. Is there anything you want us to talk about for the week? Because obviously we took a month off. Or not even. It was less than a month, Mason. It was less than a month. It felt like a bloody million years. It felt like a million years.

But thanks for coming back, by the way, everybody. Really appreciate that. Oh, you thought you were talking to me? No. And there's just some things. Jeez, wake me up when January ends. He's not wrong, everybody. There's some things that people mentioned that we haven't mentioned as of yet.

I thought we could quickly touch upon. Not all of these are comic book movie related, but here we go. Just current event stuff. Oh, I just want to say I appreciate all the memes and insults directed towards us on the Great Mates group, which just ran hot while we were away. Pictures of me as Trent from Daria. Pictures of me with a mustache. That's right.

I sometimes have a mustache now. He's got a mustache right now. I know. I've got to trim my beard down again, Mason. So you're going to have a full mustache? I think I'm just going to do a mustache for a bit. I sometimes have a mustache now. He's got a mustache right now. I know. I've got to trim my beard down again, Mason. So you're going to have a full mustache? I think I'm just going to do a mustache for a bit. I don't know why. I think it's probably a bad idea. Everyone says I look older. But isn't that cool? To look old? It's cool to

look old and like Tom Selleck. Thank you. I think. Thank you. Anyway, here we go. Matthew P says Alec Baldwin. He's been charged with manslaughter. Yeah. Now, I don't know the specifics of the case. They must know something about that that we don't because I was under the impression and all the information that we have is that somebody handed him a loaded gun.

Yeah. Unbeknownst to him. But he's also a producer, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's responsible for the handling of firearms. But he's also said prior that he didn't pull the trigger. But it's also apparently very clear that he did pull the trigger. So I don't know. But look into this, whatever's obviously happened. but it's also apparently very clear that he did pull the trigger. So I don't know.

But look into this, whatever's obviously happened. Something that I read that he is being charged as an actor. I don't know if that's a legal distinction. Sure, I don't know. Or as opposed to a producer or something like that. Somebody needs to be in trouble for this. Yeah, I mean, somebody does. Also, as I understand it, also a lot of people got fired prior to this happening. Like a lot of people who probably would have been involved in safety issues

and that sort of thing and yeah a lot of people said again we I mean more facts will emerge but I think it's you know a bizarre sort of a bizarre case again like a lot of neglect a lot of neglect and also on the one hand like I'm not sure actors are qualified to check a

gun and go is this a prop gun is this a real gun is it loaded On the one hand, like I'm not sure actors are qualified to check a gun. No. And go, is this a prop gun? Is this a real gun? Is it loaded? Is it what happened? How would he know necessarily? Like if you, if someone handed me a prop gun and said, okay, is this a real gun?

I would open it and be like, I don't know if these are real bullets or blanks or they're prop bullets or they're just like, are these prop bullets for the camera and they don't work but they're meant to look real? Like I have no idea. I mean it also depends I guess also just like, are these prop bullets for the camera and they don't work but they're meant to look real? Like I have no idea. I mean it also depends I guess also on like because I don't think they were filming when it happened. I think, again, I don't have all the information on this.

So was he just like playing around with it and that's why he's being charged? I also remember a while back they said something along the lines of some of the crew took out real guns to go shooting in the desert prior to that yeah exactly it was just a bunch of shit that shouldn't have happened uh there's a there's a paul sheer put up a thread about this yeah like in terms of his experience with acting and and props and i'm this one makes a lot of sense maybe i'll just pull out some uh little bits and pieces but it says the assistant director examined the gun he announced to the entire crew the gun is cold meaning it's empty or has dummy rounds which look like bullets yeah but for close-up shots and don't fire when the trigger

is pulled he was probably told they were dummy bullets by the armorer yeah the ad is the person responsible for the safety of everyone when a gun is firing blanks another level of safety and protocol is brought in the two most famous incidents of gun deaths on set were accents with freak act randomly and probably another one but yeah the idea that the actor is also responsible because he should have checked the gun he's a professional yeah i mean unless they know something that we don't yeah do nazcar drivers change their own ties they don't yeah exactly but again you're like he devil's advocate even if he did check the gun he would look and see what he assumes are dummy bullets which don't fire. So I don't know.

But unless he was in the room with the producers and they told him how the guns worked and they showed him and everything. Absolutely. But anyway, we don't know. We don't know. Anyway, that was one of the things. Katie says, you should go and watch Plane. I really want to hear your opinions on it. I will watch Plane.

I'll also watch Plane. I'll probably watch it to streaming. Yeah, I'm not going to go to the movies for Plane. I'm not going to risk COVID to go and watch Pl I'm not going to risk COVID to watch a plane. Sorry, Jerry Butler. Sorry, Gerald Butler. Ian O says the Comixology clusterfuck. Apparently they laid off like 75% of their staff maybe.

Comixology is a fucking nightmare to access and the way that it's all formatted on the website, it's terrible now. And I read a thread on that on Twitter as well, which I won't read here because it takes a long time. But it was from one of the people who worked at Comixology and they were like, look, a lot of people have been there for like 10 years and they love it because it's like, you know,

they love comics and they love working in comics and a lot of people in the tech industry in that place move on all the time but everybody there loved it so they just stuck around and now they're all gone. And also I think this is also a result of the tech industry is in trouble at the moment. Like Fleischmann. Like Fleischmann.

They're absolutely Fleischmann-ing it. But like because the profits aren't what they are expected to be or what they would like them to be as opposed to the last couple of years, people are just getting fired left and right in all of these big tech companies. That's true. Yeah. So, you know, that's fine and normal because that happens every 10 years or so, doesn't it? It's not fine is what I'm saying.

Oh, it sounded like you were being very serious and said it was fine. Julia B says, the 90s show on Netflix and Scream 6 trailer. We talked about Scream 6, but that 90s show, what's the first episode? Could be about anything though, though. It's fine.

I didn't watch it. Couldn't it be set in any time? It just looks like the present day show. Yes. I mean, but it's set in the 90s, Mason. Right. It's set 20 years because they've all been aged 20 years or whatever since Mason. I mean, the two actors that remain from the set.

No, the other ones pop in every now and then as well. Oh, okay. Right. But no, it's fine. It seems like it's kind of felt to me in the vein of like Fuller House where it's like this is the thing that you like but with some new characters. Okay. Right.

Yeah. But I haven't watched all of it. Here's one, Mason. Joe M says, Velma. Interested to see their take. This is a thing that you like but with some new characters. Okay, right. Yeah. But I haven't watched all of it. Here's one, Mason. Joe M says, Velma, interested to see their take. This is a shit show and everybody seems to agree from all political spectrums that this show sucks. My authority on Scooby-Doo because I don't watch anything Scooby-Doo. Scott from NerdSync.

Scott from NerdSync and he did a terrific video breakdown of it talking about how like because I know people are talking about like it's too woke and whatever and he's like, not really. It's just like, just not good. It's not particularly saying anything. And like, I like so many people involved in this, but it just, I wasn't going to watch it anyway. And I'm definitely not going to watch it now.

Yeah. I don't care about Scooby-Doo at the best of times. No, but apparently there's a lot of, you know, more recent Scooby-Doo at the best of times. No, but apparently there's a lot of more recent Scooby-Doo shows that are actually quite good. Exactly. It's on Binge over in Australia, but yeah, I'm not going to watch it. Also, it's like the lowest rated piece of animation on IMDb or something. Yeah.

Like ever. One thing I did enjoy from Scooby-Doo, if you go over to Joe Capper's YouTube channel, there's something called Delicate Steve Scooby Snacks, which is a one-minute animation. I'm not going to spoil it. You're not going to get jump scared or anything. It's just a weird, fun little thing.

Wow. Which you should check out. Well, if we're going to recommend, you know, Scooby-Doo-related fun little things. We're not. We just had the one. Okay. Well, I was going to recommend the fun, love,

and criminal song, Scooby Snacks. Very good. Which one has that go? Running around, robbing banks, all whacked up, scuba snacks. Yeah. It's probably about drugs. It's probably about weed, Mason. You think?

You think you rob a lot of banks on weed? Yeah, I do. Kevin P says, we need a Blackbird episode. I looked for this. This is the Michael Flatley vanity piece. That's where he's the world's greatest spy. I want to talk about this. Yeah, but it's unavailable?

It's unavailable. It might be forever. Yeah, it it's not available? It's unavailable. It might be like. It might be forever. Yeah, it might be one of those ones that. There's no release date. That's incredible. Because it's out and people have seen it. It very went to limited cinema release.

That's a shame. But if we talked about it, I feel like. Probably Michael Flatley's home cinema. Yes. I feel like we'd either have to do a video on it. Yeah. Or other people, if we talked about it here, other people would have have to have seen it.

So if I go to the movies and watch this thing, I don't know whether I could convey it without other people being able to see it. That's probably true, yeah. I want this to be available to everybody before we talk about it. We want to crush the Lord of the Dance. We want as many people as possible. That's right.

Ashley N says uh throw in mark hamill not returning to voice joker so yeah he's pretty much confirmed that without a without a kevin conroy to bounce off he's not really interested i mean good a time as any to to stop doing it so yeah i mean i wouldn't be surprised if he comes back at some point for something but it seems yeah for the foreseeable future yeah he's not going to be doing it which you know good for him. Jake W. says, my sister started a new job at a nursery. That's pretty big, guys.

Congratulations. Is it babies or plants? Or both. Yeah. Plant babies. Plant babies? Some sort of poison ivy situation. Poison ivies?

Mm-hmm. Jake, that was Jake. Darren T. says, we didn't talk about this, MODOK's weird head in Ant-Man Oh yeah! Now in the Ant-Man Quantum Mania trailer we see MODOK, he's got a big metal face and we were worried that it was going to be a big mask, but no

there's another image of the trailer and it's just Darren Cross's stretched out face Like on a big round TV. Amazing! We've got an upcoming episode of Book Club. It might even be the latest episode of BigSandwich.co where we talk about that and we're contemplating

what they're going to do with it. But now we know. They have to do Big Face. I'm so glad they did Big Face. I mean, it doesn't look super great in that trailer, but we only really see it in the background. Also, like, it's supposed to look awful. Yeah, I guess.

And maybe this is their version of awful. Do you think it is? Because it does look to me like it's a to look awful. Yeah, I guess. And maybe this is their version of awful. Do you think it is? Because it does look to me like it's a face on a screen. But surely it's his mutated head. I assume so, yeah. I assume so. Like the shrinking thing that happened to him, like made his body really tiny, his head really big.

I don't know. I don't know either. But in a way he's very tiny because he's in the quantum realm. He's in the quantum realm, which is probably a small place. Mitch says Koala Man. I watch all of Koala Man. What do you think? I liked it a lot.

I liked how it's so specifically Australian. Right, okay. And I think I enjoy that even for shows that aren't Australian where it's like that's a very local deep cast to a film. Yeah, and it runs the gamut of voice talent in the Australian comedian Demi Lardin. It's from Hugh Jackman to Demi Lardin. And Hugh Jackman is also in it.

Yeah. It's obviously a shame what's going on with Justin Roiland at the moment. Oh, yeah. And Boo, obviously. But Koala Man is just terrific. Yeah. And if you know Darren and Damo from Michael Cusack's YouTube channel, I've always enjoyed those and whatever.

Some people are like – Set in Dapto, which is a real place. Some people are like, how is all the Rick and Morty franchise going to continue without Justin Roiland? I don't know anybody who can do a Rick and Morty impression. Or they'll just keep doing it. They've probably recorded most of the next season anyway for now.

So, yeah. Tyler P. says, Logan Paul controversy? Which one is – The rug pull. Oh, yeah. Tyler P. says, Logan Paul controversy? Which one is it? The rug pull. Oh, yeah. He had a crypto. And then he tried to blame everybody else. I was going to text you about that while you're on holiday,

but I'm like, you probably don't need more Logan Paul in your life. No, I was keeping up to date with that. So, a YouTube channel called Coffeezilla did an investigation into Logan Paul's crypto-based game and found it was all very shady. Also, his second crypto rug pull. Oh, interesting. And the steps that he's made to make amends are good

but don't do enough to compensate all the people. And he had an apology of sorts. He was basically like, hey, it's not my fault. It's all the criminals I hired to make this. He's like, well, Coffeezilla neglected to mention this is a criminal That's your mate, you fucking idiot What are you talking about? The thing about that guy which is so weird is, you don't need

to scam, you're famous You're doing WWE wrestling and music and boxing and you're a YouTube star and your podcast is huge, what the fuck are you doing? I just think he's just one of those psycho YouTube guys. He has to keep it going.

He can't leave anything on the table. Yeah. Also. And not like I think all his empathy and everything is faked. Yeah. I think he's just a sociopath. Yeah. Basically.

Yeah. It's whenever anybody gets empathy training. It's not actually learning to be empathetic. It's just learning to fake empathy. I think there should be a road back for everybody, including this guy. And including us. Including us definitely. When we get cancelled for whatever we're doing. And I think there should be a road back for everybody, including this guy. And including us. Including us, definitely. When we get cancelled for whatever we're doing.

And I think he will and he'll be fine and whatever. But if you film a dead body in a forest. Oh, that was him. That wasn't Jake Paul. That was him, yeah. Oh, that was going to be my question, which guy was the Japanese death forest or whatever. But, like, there's no point in my life where I would think that was fine.

And I know he's apologised and made amends and whatever, whatever, but that's not, you're not normal if you do that. Also, here's my question. What was the game? With filming a dead body? No, what was the game? The crypto game. Oh, it's like eggs and they grow in your world.

It's a game and it's a fun game. Oh, my God, it's so fun. What about it is? It looks like you just put two animals together and they make another animal. That's not a game. That's a game. Wow. It's a spreadsheet. That's a game. Wow.

Yeah. It's a spreadsheet. It is a spreadsheet. But anyway, look, also, like if it turns around from this and he just like exclusively does good things even though he's like a sociopath. Like he could give us a million dollars. Yeah, but like that's fine too, you know. You don't have to be a good person at heart.

If you're doing good things, your actions speak louder than what you are as a person, Mason, is what I'm saying. Wow, what would you say if Hitler did some charity? Well, he'd have to do a lot of charity. Oh, then you'd forgive him. No, even then. That's really interesting. You jumped in.

I already said even then. I don't think it would be okay, Mason. Wow. So there isn't a road back for everybody. No, there's not a road back for Adolf Hitler, Mason. Wow. Justin N says, Mithrigan. We talked about.

I do want to see it James H says pretty sure the final season of Rick and Morty ended over Christmas oh yeah we just talked about that and nah it's too popular

and he's got other projects that are in the works and whatever it's too much of an industry to kill James with a Z S says

memoriam episode for Little James maybe somebody didn't listen to the end. Maybe somebody didn't finish the best of. Because we did one and we said he sucked. That's right. Amy S says.

He's on his grave. Yeah, that's right. Versus episode. Amy S says, versus episode featuring characters played by the same actors. Now, we talked about this before the show and I ran it by you. I wasn't sure how to come. I said no. He said no, but tell me what you think, people.

I was not sure how to, like, versus I feel like we've kind of, we've done so many of them, maybe we've run out of steam and ideas and we've explored every avenue, et cetera. But what if we did one where people give us scenarios, we answer them, and then we put it into that popular chat GPT thing. Okay. Because I've already tested it. See what the AI thinks. I've tested a few. So maybe we'll try that popular chat GPT thing. Okay. Because I've already tested it. See what the AI thinks.

I've tested a few. So maybe we'll try that. All right. Right. Yeah. Or we'll just do a regular one. Or we'll do a regular one. We'll just think of it.

But I do like characters played by the same actor. Yeah, me too. That's a good idea. That's a good note. Somebody make a note of that. Somebody make a note. I can make a note because my phone is literally in my hand, but I'm not going to.

Neil's already talked about with the Dungeons and Dragons. Dakota C says, Suicide Squad kills the Justice League Battle Pass. So you might have seen that. It's going to be a live service game maybe in the style of Avengers. Yeah, which has just been stopped. They just stopped it. I'm amazed it lasted as long as it did. So with the Avengers game, they're not going to release any more content,

but also does that mean they're shutting servers down? You can't play it after a certain amount of time? I think it's, yeah, it's like single player stuff is all fine. And if you buy it from now on, I think you just get everything. Okay. Which is what a game should be. Terrific. I love it.

A completed game, if you will. A completed game. But what a fucking shitshow that was. And I'm not surprised because it's Warner Brothers and they always do stuff like this. So hopefully it's only minimal but who knows. Yeah, I just wanted, I was so excited for just a single player game where you don't have

to add loots or anything. Well, you're an idiot. Yeah, I know. Why did you think of anything? Because I'm an idiot, you said. I did. And Joe G says, did you see Pussy in Boots The Last Wish? It was awesome. I did and it was awesome. It's great. I'll catch it on VOD streaming.

V-H-S. Mason, have you got any letters or should we wrap it up? I've got letters, James. I've got letters out the wazoo. Let's do it. That means I've got two letters because I've got room for two letters in my wazoo. Okay.

This is from Philip. Hello, Philip. Like the screwdriver? Yeah, that's right. That's his last name, like the screwdriver. The drink? Yeah. Yeah, like the drink.

Yeah, brackets. Subject line, my wife doesn't The drink? Yeah. Yeah, like the drink. Yeah, brackets. Subject line, my wife doesn't believe in Tom Cruise. What do you mean? Hey there, James and May. Hello. My wife makes fun of me when I bring up how amazing the Mission Impossible stunts are. She thinks it's silly to believe Tom Cruise

had actually put himself in danger. Sorry. After all, it could just be stunt people who do the big stunts. I've tried showing her behind-the-scenes videos, but she says that studios can fake anything with CGI and that Tom Cruise is the type of person to pay lots of money to create this fun narrative about himself. I think there is definitely

an element of pageantry to showing the behind the scenes stuff of him. But no, I think he does for real do a bunch of this stuff. In addition to that you can present somebody sometimes with all the evidence in the world and they won't believe you. That is true.

So maybe you should just let it go is what I'm saying. Wow. And save your marriage. Don't let Tom Cruise destroy another marriage. Well, I'm going to say. This time it's not his own. I'm going to say use this to drive a wedge between yourself and your wife.

Really, really dig in and just be like, you're wrong. Are you calling me a liar? That's what you're doing here by saying Tom Cruise. You're saying I'm a liar because Tom Cruise is a liar. When you disrespect Tom Cruise, you disrespect all of us, as in me and Tom Cruise. That's right. The two Tom Cruise brothers, Tom and Philip Screwdriver.

The Drake. Yes. He says, I will continue to love the Mission Impossible movies, but I will forever live with small doubts as to if Tom Cruise is a liar Oh wow, you've got to be guessing yourself And the Scientology part of it all doesn't help That's true

You're right there I mean, it is possible that all this is fate You don't really know anything unless it's right in front of you and even then it's only your perception of anything that's currently happening Because what if Tom Cruise is just like No, is the acting yeah this is all part of the acting yeah but i go on set and i do we do this fake stunt stuff and then i go and i act in the world and i do interviews where i say yeah that stunt was pretty tough that's all acting yeah and none of

it was real exactly i'm just a head in a box. I would be impressed by that. Everything else is blue screen and that. We get a guy in a suit, a blue suit. I'm a box with a GoPro on it stuck in the top of a Segway. That's right. Yeah. I think that's it, though. Yeah, I got one more email. Oh, God, Mason.

It's so long, this show. It's so long. I just want to eat Red Rooster. This is going to be worth it. This is going to be worth it, James. This is from Jordan. I've got some tweets here I'm saving for next week, Mason. Terrific.

That's how long it is. Well, I'll forget this by next week. Okay, great. This is from Jordan. Hey, fellas. I have a note of thanks and a request. The note, it's been nearly nine years since I started listening to the pod and watching the YouTube channel.

Don't say that. In that time, I've gone. He's going to keep talking, this guy. He's not listening to you. In that time, I've gone from middle school to college to marriage to my first child, who I've affectionately named James Mason Weekly Planet Pod Johnson.

The request is a special one. My cousin, someone so close to me, is practically a brother. He's getting married in April. He's also a massive fan of yours. I can't think of a better wedding gift than you giving him a good old congrats, mate. His name is Chandler.

Chandler? Chandler. Like the Bing? Like the Bing. Like the search engine. That's fantastic. Yeah. Congratulations Chandler from all of us over here at Weekly Planet.

Broadcasting Network. Broadcasting Network Screwdriver. That's right. But we're actually going to go over to the Daily Wire for $50 million. Yeah, that's right. We're taking that money. We're taking the money. That other people were too proud to take. That's right. We're going to gradually say That other people were too proud to take. That's right. We're going to gradually say that we got pushed too far to the right, by the left.

We were talking about this before the show. Do you know how much fucking money we could make if we pivoted into that? That's where all the money is. That's where all the billionaires are. I hope this gets played at the wedding. There's no billionaires in this. No. It's true. Because we're organic. It's no billionaires in this. No. It's true.

Yeah. Because we're organic. It's obviously all of these organizations like Daily Wire, The Blaze, Fox, even CNN and whatever. They're all funded by fucking billionaires. You know? No, I don't know that. You do know that, Mason. I do know that, yeah.

They're not profitable for the most part. They can't be. You can't be giving someone $50 million and expect that they're going to equal that. Exactly. It's just not happening. I make all my money from T-shirt sales. No, you don't. No, you don't.

Offensive T-shirt sales. Anyway. Anyway, congratulations Chandler on your wedding. Yes. It's too late in the episode, Mason. Yeah, anyway. The thanks is pretty self-explanatory. Thanks for keeping the ship sailing,

and thank you for all the years of shooting Red Hot News into my rude places. I'm a filmmaker, so I've set my career goal squarely to make a movie relevant enough that you'll see it, and I'll be able to force my way onto your podcast to talk about it. Yeah, and we'd love that. So see you then, I guess.

Yeah, we'll see you then. Pierce, have you guys talked about Bluey? Yeah. Yeah, the show. We've talked about it. We loved it. Yes, it's good. Anyway, thanks, Jordan.

What a bloody delight. This has been the whole show. What a first episode back, James. Heck, the show. We'll talk about it. We loved it. Yes, it's good. Anyway, thanks, Jordan. What a bloody delight. This has been the whole show. What a first episode back, James. Heck of a time. Too long. I think just long enough. Barely long enough. If you don't listen to these normally, they're not this long.
