We pick a nice affordable area, take some time off and enjoy some beach time. Last summer we rented a cute beach house down by the Mornington Peninsula. Nothing beats taking some time off to disconnect, we rented some paddle boards and spent most of the sunny days drifting on the water. Bliss!

Starting point is 00:01:21 If you've ever stayed in an Airbnb before, perhaps like me you've thought to yourself, this actually seems pretty doable. Maybe my place could be an Airbnb. Because I know I have, and it turns out it's not as complicated as you might think. Hosting can be as simple as starting with a spare room, or your whole place, when you're away for work or a holiday. If you're like me and you live for the long weekends with family and friends, hosting that extra bedroom could be a practical way to make a little extra income on the side whilst doing what really matters in life,

My name is James, also known as Mr. Sunday and with me as always is my co-host Nick Mason. It's great to be here.

Starting point is 00:02:13 Is it? Yeah. I'm here. I'm going to talk about the news of the week. We're going to talk about a movie we loved. No. We're not going to talk about that movie. No.

Starting point is 00:02:21 I mean we'll talk about a movie. Interesting. But not that we loved. Oh. It's a silly thing to say. He's talking about The Crow, everybody. We're talking about The Crow 2024. Next week we're talking Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice. Oh my god.

Starting point is 00:02:31 You excited for Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice? I'm going to have to watch Beetlejuice, just Beetlejuice first because I've never seen it. Beetlejuice 1 they called it at the time. Okay, cool. They knew. They knew. Old Berto knew.

Starting point is 00:02:42 Old Tizzy Berto knew. He loves a sequel, doesn't he? He made Batman Returns and... And he loves his e-book. Oh, he loves a sequel doesn't make Batman returns and maybe made that against as well Yeah, and he made sort of a second Alice in Wonderland or he had a hand and I don't think he likes I don't think he likes sequels at all. No, he's talking about all these black and he's making so many sequels then I've got to pay for all these divorces. Ah, well that makes sense actually Mason go on. That's not the only thing we're talking about this week. Have you watched Terminator Burning Earth? No.

Starting point is 00:03:06 What's that? Sorry. No. You mean Terminator Zero? Terminator Zero. Watch two episodes of it. Great. We can talk about that in what we're reading.

Starting point is 00:03:14 I meant to say we read Terminator Burning Earth for Big Sandwich, which is our private Patreon service at bigsandwich.co. It's our thing of the week that we did. That's right. Last week it was many video games on the Terminator. This is a comic book from the early 90s. Yeah, it's just before like a year before Terminator 2. Yeah, and it's Alex Ross's first published work.

Starting point is 00:03:30 Yeah, and it's pretty interesting. But is it good? No. Is it better than The Crow 2024? No. We don't get into that, but that can be confirmed. I think Alex Ross's art is good. Yeah, oh yeah.

Starting point is 00:03:41 I don't think it's a good comic book. Well, you know, agree to disagree. It's a little sizzle for the... Agree to disagree. A little sizzle for the steak there, folks. I also didn't' art is good. Yeah, oh yeah. I don't think it's a good comic book. Well, you know. Agree to disagree. It's a little sizzle for the... Agree to disagree. A little sizzle for the steak there, folks. I also didn't love it. Okay.

Starting point is 00:03:50 Anyways, this is the news of the week before we talk about The Crow. We're going to talk about the box office for the next Joker movie. It's looking pretty good but not as good as others. Like The Crow, for example. That's right, for example. We're going to talk about the next Jurassic Park movie. Oh, also, sorry folks. Sorry. If you hear and you're like, God, why are they talking about The Crow? It's right. For example, we're going to talk about the next Jurassic Park movie. I'm also sorry, folks. If you hear and you're like, God, why are they talking about the crow? It's over. It's crowver. You know, it's been out for a week. We didn't get it last

Starting point is 00:04:13 week probably. So we'll watch it this week. I understand society has moved on as a whole. Nobody was ever there in the first place. But. Absolutely not. What else are we going to do? Talk about more episodes of Terminator Zero. We didn't have time to watch them, we were watching The Crow. I watched all of them. Did you? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:04:30 Oh, must be nice. It was nice to sit down and watch them all, Mason. Oh yeah. Anyway, yeah, so Jurassic Park news. What's going on next with that? We've got trailers for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Super Slash Man, the Christopher Reeve story. And we got our first look at the Fantastic Four's thing.

Starting point is 00:04:45 Did you see that? I did. He's a man. He's a real man. He's not a real man. We'll talk about it. We're going to talk about Gambit also potentially returning in an MCU something. It's teased as such.

Starting point is 00:04:59 Probably Secret Wars. Probably Secret Wars. Yeah, I'd imagine so. Oh my God. I cannot wait. He's going to say the same thing he said, that unintelligible thing he said in Deadpool and Wolverine, but slightly tweaked. And everyone's going to be like, wow.

Starting point is 00:05:09 What a throwback to a thing two years ago. That's right. See what they're going to say. Yeah, that's right. Time codes below. Collin to Edith Cissy, always make sure they're there. What a legend. We love him for it and we forgive him.

Starting point is 00:05:21 That's right and bless him. Let's start with this Mason. This is my box office theory. Now Joker too, how Joker got his groove back. Go on. According to box office theory, its weekend opening in the US is going to be between 120 and 150 million dollars. Sounds pretty good.

Starting point is 00:05:37 It's a fairly widespread. I guess it is, yeah. Don't you think? Yeah. I mean I could have predicted that. Between zero dollars and... That's not between zero dollars. 200 million dollars. Oh okay, wow. I mean, I could have predicted that between $0 and that's not between $200 million. Oh, okay. I'm in the rage. It'll probably be at that rate. If you had to put some money on it,

Starting point is 00:05:52 would you say closer to $0? No, I'd probably put closer to the other end. Yeah, right. Okay. Yeah, sure. It will be over 100. I would bear in mind if you go over. Yeah, that's a whammy. What does that mean? You're gonna hit me? It's a whammy. So I mean, it'll be safe for you to stake your reputation on it making zero dollars. Why can't you go over though? Because it's a whammy. That's okay though. Can I get a whammy? Just once in my life. I mean you can, but if you get three whammies. What?

Starting point is 00:06:18 You get murdered. Oh no. Yeah, by Larry Emder. Larry Emder? That's right. Australian TV host Larry Emder? Correct, yes. Looks like fucking Guy Smiley. If Guy Smiley got zapped. Australian TV host Larry Emder. Correct, yes. Looks like fucking Guy Smiley.

Starting point is 00:06:26 If Guy Smiley got zapped with a ray gun, he turned into a real man. Is that what you're saying is happening to me? That's what I'm saying, yes. Cool. All right. I'll fight him. You don't have a chance to fight him. He's just going to kill you.

Starting point is 00:06:36 Oh, damn it. Anyway. But anyway, maybe that won't happen. Yeah, maybe it won't. Because what I'm saying is if it makes $150 million, you've gone over. You've got a whammy. But if it doesn't, you won't get a whammy. I mean, even if it does the lower end, if it does $120 million, Joker 1 in its first

Starting point is 00:06:54 weekend made $91 million. So that would be good because it's an R-rated comic book movie or just an R-rated movie in general. These often don't have a big opening. Except the Deadpool and Wolverine just did. So if this doesn't in the toilet The value is number two. Yeah, that's right number two in the toilet Yeah, uh, Deadpool Wolverine made 211 million in its opening weekend and it's still going strong it this weekend

Starting point is 00:07:14 It is yet again back at the top of the box office Beetlejuice will probably take over next week Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Sorry, and then who knows depending on how that's received, pretty well from what the critics are saying. The critics are saying that maybe it was necessary just a little bit. Maybe it did recapture some of the magic. Maybe for some of it. Okay, sure.

Starting point is 00:07:33 That's what they're saying. Well, that's all we can hope for these days, isn't it? This IP branded content, it maybe was necessary to recapture some of the magic. Did you see that Tim Burton was like, I actually didn't like making Disney movies. I made Dumbo and other things and I didn't like it. Dude, you work for Warner Brothers. Like, is this just a better experience in general? I don't know. You get to hang out with the Animaniacs if you work at Warner Brothers. That's true. Anyway, what do you think? Horrible dank water tower. Yeah, man. No good. What do you think? Joker? Big? Joker

Starting point is 00:08:02 big. Do you think though big drop off because of singing? People will be like, oh I'll say Joker too. Wait a minute. I mean I guess we'll know in real time how fast Word of Mouth spreads I guess. Because traditionally you know musicals don't do that well and you know they've concealed it pretty well so far. But how much of a musical is it though? Didn't Todd Phillips say something like, it's not technically a musical, it's just sometimes some of the characters sing. Yeah, you're stupid.

Starting point is 00:08:27 It's actually a cool movie for rad boys. That's what he said. That's right. There's space up the front to do an Ollie. Let me check. Somebody sent this to me. This is via comicbook.com. Okay, sure.

Starting point is 00:08:41 It says, Joker 2, Todd Phillips says movie is not a musical. Okay. Yeah. I just don't think people, I just don't want people to think that it's like in the heights where the lady in the bodega starts to sing and then they take it out onto the streets and the police are dancing. No disrespect, because I love in the heights. But in Joker 2, the bodega is just for sandwich.

Starting point is 00:09:03 That's right. It's not for singing, it's just for sandwich. We asked ourselves what would need to be true for two people to just break in a song in the middle of a conversation. This is Lady Gaga. Where does the music come from and no one can hear it except but the characters. Wow wow wow. That is interesting isn't it? Oh it says Phillips argued when he said that thing earlier. It's not a musical. It's not a musical. It's not like In the Heights, Lin-Manuel Miranda's other thing that he did. It's this. Stop saying it's a musical.

Starting point is 00:09:30 Yeah, anyway, it's not a musical, even though it is a musical. But it's not, don't worry about it. So anyway, as I was saying, I guess we'll see how fast word of mouth works in real time. But also, is this going to not do as well just because maybe box office was huge for the last one because people thought it was going to be like some huge edgy stuck around changing thing and people were just like, oh, yeah, it's all right. People were flipping cars in the street.

Starting point is 00:09:56 They were for a good three years after that movie. Exactly right. Yeah. Uh, I don't know. I think, I think there will be that backlash of like, well, this is not as like the other one and whatever. He didn't shoot Robert De Niro once. Well, Larry already did it. Yeah. What do you want him to bring in Al Pacino and shoot Al Pacino? Yes.

Starting point is 00:10:13 Shoot all the cast of things. And then arrange them back to back like on the cover of the VHS for Righteous Kill, the other movie they were in. Righteous. Was that from like 2013 or something? Something like that, yeah. It was way after Heat. Too late. We were like, we've got to get them back together. It's too late. It was too late.

Starting point is 00:10:31 But it was also before the one where they were all de-aged. It was before the Irish Minions. Yeah, there we go. Great stuff. Anyway, Jokertoo. It was before one of them was a bad grandpa. Oh yeah, that's right. Jokertoo. Here's some Jurassic Park 7 slash Jurassic World 4 news. The title is officially Jurassic World Rebirth.

Starting point is 00:10:48 Interesting. We saw some first images of Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali. Now what's Jonathan Bailey been in? He was in Brigerton. Oh yeah. Yeah. Season 2 maybe? Sure.

Starting point is 00:11:00 I don't know. I've never really got into the Brigerton. You're a Brigerton? No, I'm not a Brigerton. He's been in other things, but he was a Brigadon. You can't accuse us of being the Brigadon boys. Mr. Brigadon. That's highly unusual, Mr. Brigadon.

Starting point is 00:11:13 So you've said it. Yeah, it's true I have. Being so sexy is highly unusual, Mr. Brigadon. Yeah, it's true. I've heard good things. I should watch it. I'm not against it. It's not a priority. So I gotta watch the crow.

Starting point is 00:11:29 Yep. Here's a synopsis. Are you seeing the images? One of them emotionally had the flare. Yeah, the flare, that means the T-rex is coming. That means Jurassic Park. Well, maybe. We'll talk about this.

Starting point is 00:11:39 So the film we set five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, remember that? All the dinosaurs got out? Yep. When the planets are called... Wait. No, sorry, they the dinosaurs got out? Yep. When the planets- Wait. No, sorry, they'd already gotten out, but they were still out. They were still out. Okay, I'm with you. This was after the auction. They did the auction, then they got out, then there was another movie, Now We're Here. Yes, that's right. And the last movie was about cockroaches or something.

Starting point is 00:11:57 Cockroach movie, sure. Yeah. When the planet's ecology is proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. So most of them died. So you know how they all got out. Don't worry about it. Yeah, most of them died. It's just in pockets. Basically. Most of them are still alive in Jurassic Park. Yes. Well, those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the ones in which they thrive. Like Jurassic Park. That's right. The three most colossal creatures within the typical biosphere hold the key. Oh, they've got to collect three.

Starting point is 00:12:21 Hold the key to the drug that could have miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind. So they're going to do it. It's just ketamine. It's good. I guess. It's ketamine and ozampic together. Oh wow. Yeah, wow.

Starting point is 00:12:34 It's a super drug. Wow. Yeah. Because then you don't have to, you know, use two needles. You put it in the one needle. Yeah. Put it on your cornflakes. Yeah, man.

Starting point is 00:12:42 So it sounds like they're going back to Jurassic Park. But again, this is Gats Edwards. Yeah. Now this means they're going to have to do, they're going to need three signature dinosaurs, right? To get them. Got them here for you, mate. Is it going to be Air, Sea and Land?

Starting point is 00:12:58 It might be, actually. Is one of the T-Rex? No. So this is why my time to shine hello on Twitter, who says, the primary dinosaurs. Okay. Okay. Just relax the primary don't relax Okay, I'm on edge. That's what makes this podcast so good. I'm always an edge actually makes it worse for me I know edge stresses me out, but it's a fun balance. Isn't it? Yeah, I guess but not for me again Maybe for everybody else. It's a bad time for me. I

Starting point is 00:13:20 Saw myself for this art. Yeah out of podcasting and it it is an art. Some people think it's just talking. But it's not. It's an art form. It could be a museum. You just don't know how to do it. That's right. They haven't figured it out yet. The technology hasn't caught up.

Starting point is 00:13:32 That's right. Sorry they can't paint the Sistine Chapel without podcast yet. Yet. For one, as soon as they do. You'll enter that room. You'll open there and you'll hear a crack of somebody cracking open a bottle of sugar-free soda and you'll know it's bloody on. The primary dinosaurs in Jurassic World Rebirth are the monosaurus, the titanosaurus and the coexaulocotulus. That's a flying one I'm pretty sure.

Starting point is 00:13:58 It is actually. So this is why a comic book movie, they've figured it out. The, sorry, the mosasaurus was a carnivorous aquatic reptile. Oh, that's from the sea? That's from the other one, right? The really big one? Yeah. The really, really big one?

Starting point is 00:14:11 I liked that really big one. It was a good one. You're going to have to go inside at Jonah and the whale style. Well, that's cool. The Titanosaurus is a herbivorous sauropod herbivore. Yeah, you've nailed that. Who cares? Herbivore though? Or plants? Eat a man. Eat a man, that's fun. Sure.

Starting point is 00:14:28 Maybe it's run out of plants. It might have. And somebody will say, he's run out of plants, that must mean he's gonna have to eat a man. Get the flair. Get the flair. And the Quetzalicotelus is a giant pterosaur. Okay.

Starting point is 00:14:42 Big bird. You're right, you know that. They're gonna have to go through three different environments. Exactly. Three different delightful environments. How many of these do you want to be feathered? All of them. Yeah. I have none. Jack and Beatty Wong's gonna show up and be like, listen, I'm still sorry for what I did. Or Jack and he's gonna be evil again. Oh yeah. He was sorry last time, wasn't he? They could bring back Samuel Lowe Jackson, right? I think they're gonna forget what happened in the last one and we all did yeah, but it made a billion dollars That's true. Yeah, you reckon this is the one where they bring Wayne Knight back finally Gets acid-faced doesn't mean he's dead doesn't mean he's dead. You're right can didn't they yeah, they found the can Yeah, they could find the Wayne Knight. That's right. He did also got mauled in that car. That's fine. Yeah, it's fine Anyway, when do you think found a glove in the glove compartment? He slapped him away

Starting point is 00:15:26 Yeah, when do you think this is out? Why is why is that up to me? It's just important that you know that when do you think if you had to get October 2025? No, July 2nd, 2025 It's pretty close soon though. I did go over so that's a whammy for me. That's true. And what's that fucking? Larry empties. He's not why would he be here? He's just waiting for you to do it again. Right. Interesting. It's weird. It's weird how he turned up.

Starting point is 00:15:51 He's like, he's like Beetlejuice. He should have a lot going on, I think. No, he doesn't. He doesn't have anything going on. Now back to my main question, the important question. Is the T-Rex going to show up? Almost certainly. Yeah, right.

Starting point is 00:16:03 But I don't know. Yeah. The thing apparently can live as long as it needs to. That's right. To be in movies. Where was it last time? Was it still just in Jurassic Park? It was just running around. Yeah. Does it ever get moved? The original T-Rex? Yeah it got out. Right. It got out. How far can it go? Yeah how far can it go? It was, was it, yeah it teamed up with the salad fingers dinosaur. It killed that other thing. Yeah. Or something. And they saluted one another. Is that actually what happened?

Starting point is 00:16:28 I don't know, James. I don't know. We're going to carve them for Caravan of Garbage next year. We'll figure it out then. They're not good enough movies that we remember anything that happened in them. That is true. We do remember the dinosaur auction. Again, Gareth Edwards, who I like, I mean, he's really good at shooting things, like planning things out where you can shoot it kind of almost on the

Starting point is 00:16:48 fly because he knows exactly what he's looking for and then fold that into a movie at the end of it. So why not? And I think they're drawing on like the original writer. So standard movie making techniques. Yeah, standard David Quip, Quip was back, wrote the first one or something. I don't know, I'm excited. I'll always watch a Jurassic Park slash world movie. Even this one. That's also the month of the it's Jurassic Park slash world, whatever this is called. And then it's Superman. And then it's Fantastic Four, but it might be in the other way around. So it's gonna be a big month. Big month. Do you think somebody's gonna move? And is it Fantastic Four? No, they're about two weeks apart each. Okay. Yeah. I think somebody's

Starting point is 00:17:21 gonna move. Who? Fantastic Four. It won for she probably finished. She probably somebody should move exactly. Yeah Trailers of everybody Here come those trailers Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is coming Dr. Eggman is back and this time he's brought his dad. Is it Jeff Daniels? Who is that? I thought it was Jim Carrey twice. Was it not? I don't know. I looked up the, I went on Wikipedia and it didn't say Dr. Eggman's dad. Yeah. It'd be, I couldn't, I didn't recognise him. I thought it was just Jim Carrey and Old Man Maker.

Starting point is 00:17:52 I would have got Jeff Daniels. I mean, he's retired. No, I... But Jim Carrey... Is he retired? Jim Carrey keeps threatening to retire. Yeah, he's never been retired. I'm thinking of Daniel Stern.

Starting point is 00:18:00 Daniel Stern retired. Are you always thinking about Daniel Stern and whether he's retired. Great question. Let me check. Comments are turned off. Great. Let me find the next trailer for this. That's the only time anybody's ever added the comments on this one as well. What is happening here? Well, they're kids.

Starting point is 00:18:16 Kids, I know. Kids in movie trailers. I just want to find out whether it's Jeff Daniels or not. I just assumed it was Jim Carrey doing dual roles collecting dual paychecks. Okay, sure. Would make sense that him and his dad are identical. His name's Gerald Robotnik. Okay. Oh it's a video called Gerald, the truth about Gerald Robotnik by Sonny Park.

Starting point is 00:18:34 Is he cancelled? Yeah. That's gonna be disappointing for us. It's fucking Jim Carrey, look at him. Look. I'm not disputing you. Look at this. James I'm not calling you a liar.

Starting point is 00:18:45 Yeah, you're right. Well, I tried. You sure did. Somebody tweet at Mason, don't tweet at me. Anyway, Sonic 3, did you watch the Knuckles television show that came out recently? No. It was a bit of fun. My son enjoyed it.

Starting point is 00:18:58 It was acted as an interquel between Sonic 2 and this. Oh, so do I have to watch Knuckles? No, no, no. Do I have to watch Sonic 2 because I didn't watch that either? Probably. It's not bad. They're better than the Mario movies. Oh, so do I have to watch no no no no I thought Sonic 2 because I didn't watch that either probably It's not bad. They're better than the Mario movie I was gonna say the Sonic one that I have seen is better than Super Mario Brothers absolutely It is I think Sonic 2 is even better than Sonic 1 and every introduced tails and knuckles well

Starting point is 00:19:15 So it tells introduced in the foot, but it's okay. Yes, but shadow the hedgehog is here I guess what he doesn't have his trademark guns Yes, not yet, and he's voiced by Keanu Reeves. So that's fine. Do you feel about that? Good? Yeah, he's even edgier than knuckles who turned up in the last one. He's got some sort of teleportation situation. Sure Yeah, or speed well event. I mean probably towards the end. He's gonna teleport into a gun shop and then he'll have all the guns Oh, yeah, that's right. Um Is he a clone of Sonic? Is that how this works? I don't know. Okay.

Starting point is 00:19:46 Is Shadow the Hedgehog autistic? Wow. I don't know about that. What was that the first result that came up? He's not a clone. He's the ultimate life form created by Professor Gerald Robotnik. Gerald Robotnik? There we go. Just created him out of nothing. That's right.

Starting point is 00:20:06 I guess. A marvels and a dream. Probably found a... Hedgehog egg. Hedgehog hair or whatever. Hedgehog egg, yeah. Well that's a clone. It's fine.

Starting point is 00:20:14 Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe it is. Yeah, that's what I'm saying, yeah. You're right, you're absolutely right. I am exactly right, thank you. I was gonna say notable stuff in this trailer. There was a moment where... Yes, he is played by Jim Carrey, I just found it on the official sonicfandom.com slash like. True, I love that.. Thank you. I was gonna say notable stuff in this trailer. There is a moment where yes He's played by Jim Carrey. I just found it on the official sonic fandom.com slash. I love that

Starting point is 00:20:28 So gone is a moment where shadow defeats knuckles by moving his arm in a way that his arm would naturally go I don't know if you saw that bit pretty exciting pretty excited. He goes Knuckles knuckles goes ah my knuckles right? Yeah, pretty good. Is maybe that's maybe maybe an echidnas They got different dexterity different dexterity. Yeah, they don't make out with that. Yeah, pretty good, isn't it? Maybe that's maybe an echidna's arm. They've got different dexterity. Different dexterity, sure. Yeah, they don't make out with that. Yeah. Guess when this is out?

Starting point is 00:20:51 You don't actually have to. September 20th, 25th. No, it's December 30th? That's not right. December 20th. Interesting. A nice Christmas treat. That is a Christmas treat.

Starting point is 00:21:00 Is that the tagline? Yeah. Sonic 3, a nice Christmas treat. Listen, you didn't like Kraven, here's something else. A Christmas treat. God. Alright, good stuff. How do we know you didn't like Craven? Come on. Come on. We know. We all know. We printed this poster off 10 years ago. We put it in a box and we locked it. Because

Starting point is 00:21:21 we knew in advance. Another trailer though, of course, for Super Slash Man, the Christopher Reeve story, which is a touching tribute to the great man Christopher Reeve. So of course, played Superman in 1979 and then for, he did four movies. Oh, and he showed up in Smallville. And of course he did other movies also. A tragic accident left him quadriplegic in the mid-90s, passed away in the early 2000s. Incredible story. I thought the trailer looked amazing.

Starting point is 00:21:51 It looked very moving. He was, for a lot of people, including myself, he was like the first Superman. The first movie I ever saw at cinemas was Superman 4. It might have been Milo and Otis, but I think it was Superman 4. How many dogs died? Milo and Otis, so many. was Superman 4. Okay. How many dogs died? Milo and Otis? So many. Oh my god. Okay, well, yeah. Wait, in Superman 4?

Starting point is 00:22:08 No, I mean, if you count how many dogs died, and if it was like more than like 10, it was Milo and Otis. If it was less, it was Superman 4. Yeah. So yeah, it's just about his life and his legacy. And like, obviously his life did not stop after the accident. It's about enduring after this. A lot of interview footage that I had not seen. No, it's not.

Starting point is 00:22:24 And he's just, he seemed even more charismatic as a real person than as Superman. stop after the accident. It's about enduring after this. A lot of interview footage that I had not seen. No, it's not. And he's just, he seemed even more charismatic as a real person than as a Superman. Absolutely. And he didn't like Marlon Brando and I have nothing but respect for that. Just straight up. He's like, no, he was bad. I didn't like him. He was rude. He was rude and he took all the money. Yeah. So that's got a limited release out in Australia in a few months. It's in September 21st release in the US and on November 1st in the UK. So yeah, definitely be checking that out and then it'll presumably come to streaming. Depending on how limited this limited release is, I will check it out, Mason. Probably very limited.

Starting point is 00:22:58 Oh, if not, Mason. Hello. Fantastic Four First Steps is currently filming and will be out next July. Don't you even worry about it? I'm a little bit why you don't even need to worry about Everybody they got a crunch. Oh, that's true. I forgot about crunching They're gonna twist their hand the way that knuckles hand was twisted. Ah final do more rendering. Yeah. Ah Also, there's less shows. That's fine. It's true. They're doing any model shows barely dead devil street level

Starting point is 00:23:22 They basically filmed it all on a day. It's fine. What are you saying? What are you saying they're not going to visual effect that thing now? They don't even need to. They have. Maybe remove some wires maybe. Sure. If they throw all the cowards on wires instead of doing real jumps and stunts.

Starting point is 00:23:34 But other than that, yeah, it's basically all in camera. So true, isn't it? Yeah. Just use drones and stuff. It's easy. It seems easy. So anyway, one of the things that we saw, one of the images that was that was revealed, and I guess this is a bit of a spoiler more in terms of how they bring a character to

Starting point is 00:23:49 life, but it appears the thing is somewhat practical, maybe? Sure, yeah. Or that's some kind of lighting reference. Yep, or it's, you know, a combination like a lot of things. It's maybe, you know, he's wearing it in the scenes and they're going to do a little CGI modification over the top. Yeah, it's very brow heavy. Or it's just that one scene.

Starting point is 00:24:10 Yeah, they've just trotted it out. Yeah. And we'll get us talking. Yeah, to get us talking. And boy are we. Oh, it worked. Do you think it was brow heavy? It is brow heavy.

Starting point is 00:24:20 It's very 60s kind of inspired. I mean, it's a 60s inspired movie, isn't it? Yeah. Also, when you give him the long sleeve t-shirt you can do less rock stuff. That's so true isn't it? Yeah. Which is a fun. Oh what if they give him the trench coat? Oh yeah. They just have to do his little hands? They can just buy some thing hands at the shops. They could couldn't they? Now do you think that's... Do I think? Do you think? Do you think Ebon Mossbert-Bakarac is in the suit? Or do you think?

Starting point is 00:24:47 Yes. Yeah. I do think that. How tall is this guy? 185 centimeters. That's six foot something? Yeah, six foot one maybe? Okay, alright.

Starting point is 00:24:55 Chuck him in heels. Yeah, yeah. Even better. Even taller. I like it when the thing isn't that tall though. Doesn't need to be that tall. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, fair enough.

Starting point is 00:25:04 But sometimes he has to be big enough to fight the Hulk. Yeah, but he could go low, couldn't he? Sometimes. Grab his legs. Sometimes in comics he gets real big, one of which we'll be talking about soon in Comic Book Club. Oh yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 00:25:15 So yeah, I don't know. Let's see what happens. I like the leaked footage that we saw a brief snippet of this movie. I like the cast. We'll see what happens in July of next year or something, if comes out, which it will because they're going to crunch everybody. Good. God. Good.

Starting point is 00:25:29 Such a naysay. You're so negative. I know, right? Movies can get made. I should get into the spirit of crunch, shouldn't I? Exactly. Thank you. Finally.

Starting point is 00:25:37 We should get into the spirit of crunch. Yeah? We should do like 10 episodes a week. I agree. God, there's some people who do like movie podcasts every day. I can't even imagine. What are you even talking about? What are you doing? I can't even imagine. What are you even talking about?

Starting point is 00:25:45 What are you doing? I don't know man. Sometimes I struggle to fill out episodes. I'm like this is all garbage Does anyone want to know any of this? I think I think when the cream of the crop here Mason. That is so true isn't it? Yeah. Yeah, no crunch here No, no go on though. I think a lot of those podcasts are probably Helped along because they often do a video component so you can just have the guy just sitting and reacting. Yeah, that's true.

Starting point is 00:26:09 Whoa! We'll never woe though. We're never impressed by anything. When was the last time you woed? Great question. I don't think he's ever woed. I did say the substance. There was some woeing in that.

Starting point is 00:26:19 Oh no. I just woed. Mason, last bit of news. Go on. This is why Deadpool and Wolverine, the movie that came out. Uh huh. Ryan Reynolds released... Hello, Ollie, it's dog time everyone.

Starting point is 00:26:28 Ollie was here earlier, I didn't mention it though. No? I love it. It's real okay. You can go. You can go. You can go. So there's a scene, the scene that was released on Ryan Reynolds' Instagram.

Starting point is 00:26:38 Go on. And also it's in the movie, but it's in one of the screens at the end. Apparently. Oh, it's... Oh yeah, at some point, sure, yeah. Yeah, I think it's at the end when he shows the Johnny Storm footage and whatever. We can spoil this at this point, right? And everyone's on social media talking about this.

Starting point is 00:26:52 Everyone in the world's saying it, yeah. So the tagline or whatever in the video is, whispers Marvel Sparkle Circle, and we see Gambit and he walks out, called by Chan by Channing's tatums and in getting a little choked up I am a little emotional I don't want to watch this father achieved his dream and he's gonna is you thought he was trapped in the void a limbo whatever and you see the reflection in his eyes and you see the sparkle circle sparkle circle thing happening which can now transport you through dimensions and whatever yeah so he's probably that being said also in

Starting point is 00:27:21 the movie didn't they say like yeah we went and got everybody I mean they got Laura yeah and whatever so presumably yeah, that was interesting because the end Deadpool's like I think They all helped me out and I think which you should really you know Get them out of the void and then it goes to the the birthday party or whatever and then not there That was one of them's there. Yeah, then we're back to their own universes, which may be wherever I don't even know Yeah, um, so yeah, it's already implied that they all lived and went home or whatever. But do you think this- And then they all lived and went home.

Starting point is 00:27:49 At home or whatever to their families if they have them. Do you think this indicates that something? A Gambit solo movie? Yeah. No. Secret Wars. Do you think this is a kind of thing where like, you know, how Ryan Reynolds got Deadpool going. Oh, yeah. And he's always like and Channing times

Starting point is 00:28:07 Like I love Ryan Ronson help me every day. That's true. I remember that's my dad Do you think that's what this is as well? Uh Like maybe I'm not saying he's not gonna set up in secret wars. Yeah, yeah But I mean, I guess if any you know, if anything is gonna get a Channing Tatum-led Gambit movie made, it is Ryan Reynolds who just made a billion dollars plus with a Deadpool movie pushing that forward and going, hey, you like this? How about that? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:28:34 I think, and we talked about this when the movie came out, I think they're just going to fold over whoever people like into a regular X-Men universe. They'll do a universe combined situation. Well, that's what Secret Wars basically is. And then so you're folding whatever X-Men you choose to. to a universe combined situation. Well, that's what Secret Wars basically is. Yeah. And then so you feel for your fold in whatever X-Men you choose to. Yeah. Your real secret was X-Men now.

Starting point is 00:28:50 Well, now that I finally read it. Yeah, I am actually Mason. I'm all over it. So that that was that that seemed rude, but I was very positive about it. No, you didn't say. You're a real expert now. I'm loving it. I don't feel like an expert.

Starting point is 00:29:01 I feel like you're putting me down. So, yeah, I don't know. I think it just means you'll be around for a bit. Hey everyone, get out of here, Gamp. Do you think it is also a thing that maybe Ryan Reynolds, sometimes he'll sneak out a thing to get a thing going? He'll squeak one out? Yeah, like he did for that Deadpool test footage, you know?

Starting point is 00:29:21 Yeah, but I don't know. Or do you think he would have had to go to Disney and be like, I'm going to do this. And they went, yes, that's okay. What's his deal? What's his deal? No, I mean, I think very little gets made without the approval of Disney.

Starting point is 00:29:34 And also the thing he leaked wasn't official. Like he didn't even put it out on his Instagram or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He gave a DVD to a guy on the street or whatever. That's true. Or left it at a public space. I don't know. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. I don't know.

Starting point is 00:29:45 Yeah. We'll see. We'll see. Something bigger. Something bigger. Do you want to see Channing Tatum as Gambit in a full Gambit movie? Look, I don't think we need a Gambit movie. Right?

Starting point is 00:29:54 But yeah, as an X-Men thing, yeah, sure. They're clearly trying to, or they've got enough pieces in place where they could build an X-Men team. Yeah. Or begin to build one. So yeah, fold them into that. to or they've got enough like pieces in place where they could build an X-Men team or begin to build one. So yeah, fold them into that. Maybe do an X-Men movie and then we'll talk solo movies. All right? All right, Mason? All right, fine. God. What about you? Solo movie?

Starting point is 00:30:14 Yeah. I mean, look, I mean, how good is X-Men 97? You know? Very good. Yeah. I mean, you know, maybe, maybe there's room for some lower budget Marvel movies that are kind of like in the realm of Deadpool. Oh, you're talking streaming. Yeah. We're talking streaming special events.

Starting point is 00:30:32 Like a joke. 42 minutes. Yeah, like a joke. Like, you know, you know how Deadpool and Wolverine, like I said, when we reviewed it, Deadpool and Wolverine, it's like a Sucker Brothers. It's a parody of the Marvel Universe from within the Marvel Universe. Yeah, sure. Just that again, maybe lower budget and it's Gambit and he's having a day. He's having a day.

Starting point is 00:30:49 He's having a day. A day in the life of Gambit. You could meet Taylor Kitsch. He can meet Taylor Kitsch. And go, this is mine now, get out of here. Exactly. Go back to Friday Night Lights idiot. That's right.

Starting point is 00:30:57 All right, let's talk about The Crow, I guess. Okay. I used to say, I just feel stuck. Stuck where I don't want to be. Stuck trying to get to where I really need to be.

Starting point is 00:32:35 Every summer my family is lucky enough to stay at an Airbnb. We pick a nice affordable area, take some time off and enjoy some beach time. Last summer we rented a cute beach house down by the Mornington Peninsula. Nothing beats taking some time off and enjoy some beach time. Last summer we rented a cute beach house down by the Mornington Peninsula. Nothing beats taking some time off to disconnect, we rented some paddle boards and spent most of the sunny days drifting on the water. Bliss! If you've ever stayed in an Airbnb before, perhaps like me you've thought to yourself, this actually seems pretty doable.

Starting point is 00:32:59 Maybe my place could be an Airbnb. Because I know I have, and it turns out it's not as complicated as you might think. Hosting can be as simple as starting with a spare room, or your whole place when you're away for work or a holiday. If you're like me and you live for the long weekends with family and friends, hosting that extra bedroom could be a practical way to make a little extra income on the side whilst doing what really matters in life, enjoying time with loved ones. So whether you could use extra money to cover some bills, or for something a little more fun, your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how much

Starting point is 00:33:29 at airbnb.ca slash host. On a budget of $50 million, the crow managed to take in on its US opening weekend $4.6 million. Whoa. And has currently made roughly give or take about 11 million at the box office after two big weekends all around the world. Two excruciating weekends. Yeah, you're right. I mean, big can be excruciating too. Sure, absolutely.

Starting point is 00:33:53 Not in this case. It is small and excruciating. Like straining something out could be excruciating. It's big. It's big. So Alex Proyas, who of course directed Original Crow. And other things. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:34:04 Gods of Egypt. Yep. And other things. Gods of Egypt. Yep and other things. He took to Facebook and this is via a comic book movie and he said, wow box office is a blood bath. Do you think when he said wow he was being sarcastic? No. I think he means it. I thought the remake was a cynical cash grab. Not much cash to grab it seems.

Starting point is 00:34:19 The grow is not just a movie. Brandon Lee died making it and it was finished as a testament to his lost brilliance and tragic loss. It is his legacy. That's how it should remain. How do you feel about that as an idea of, I mean, there's already been... Sounds like somebody is crowing about his version of the crow. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:34:37 I mean, he did make a good version of the crow. That's actually true. He also directed Dark City. That's true. He also directed the crow We talked about Dark City on the podcast total review. That is true. We did With Alexi and cam also directed garage days. I remember garage days kick Gary's and kick Gary is in that he directed I robot kick Gary isn't in that guy. He's not in that one. Some nice kicks are in the movie That's true. And he directed vintage converse directed canoeing. Do you remember that Nicholas Cage one where he can you can you all sorts of things?

Starting point is 00:35:10 Yeah. He was canoeing down that river. Was it cool? Yeah. Yeah. And he always can you when there was a hazard coming up? Well, that must be nice to know. So is that the one where he can you two minutes ahead or whatever? No, that was connects. Oh, yeah. I don't know. Knowing was where he had Prophecy

Starting point is 00:35:25 of the Future. I haven't seen Kanoing, I don't think. Yes, you have. Which one has Jessica Beale in it? Kinect. I've seen Kinect, but I haven't seen Kanoing. Well, you should watch them as a double feature in whatever order. Great. No, probably what's Kanoing last because that's the one where the world ends at the end or something. Yeah, yeah. And then you can, you know, you can pretend they're in the same universe. That's right. Two guys who look like Nicolas Cage, but they're different guys. So do you think the crow is this, this property that should not be touched though? Yeah, I don't feel that way either. No. Yeah. Cano? Yeah. I mean, there's been, I mean, I know there have been directed DVD sequels or whatever they were. They all directed DVD. I don't know

Starting point is 00:36:04 if they were actually, but um. The City of Angels. Yes, Mike de cascos was involved Right. There was the crow stairway to heaven was a Canadian telly movie There was a crow salvation Also, if you've read the original James o'barr crow comic books, it's not always Eric Draven Everyone gets a chance to maybe maybe to start to a lot of people you don't want to reboot that particular story. That's right. The rest of them a fair game. God. Or you know original concepts a fair game. A crow comes down and goes You're the Crow now! And you go. Yes. Everybody gets a go. Everyone gets a go to be the Crow. Well this went through like. Have a go at being the Crow.

Starting point is 00:36:42 Yeah, we've been talking about this for years. Yeah, Bradley Cooper was going to be it. Jason Momoa was going to be it. But now I think since he wants to wear different eye makeup and be lobo or whatever. Yeah. So yeah, it's been the last one was the crow Wicked Prayer, which had... That was the one with Edward Furlong. Huh. So yeah, and Tara Reid and David Boreanes. Whoa.

Starting point is 00:37:03 He's always fighting the supernatural. Or while being the super. Yeah. So what do you think the story was? Oh, come on. Have you seen the original crow? Yep. From 1990, whatever. Yep.

Starting point is 00:37:12 Pretty good. Pretty, pretty much like that. Like that except it takes way longer to get to it. It's way longer. But on the, on the other hand, you do get more of the relationship. You know what I mean? The Crow-lationship. The Crow-lationship, exactly.

Starting point is 00:37:27 Okay, so... I think there's too much relationship. I think we got it. Very early on. But is that because you've seen the original The Crow? No, I think because I've seen relationships. James, let me tell you what the story was. Oh yeah, what do you think it was?

Starting point is 00:37:37 So FKA Twigs plays Shelly? Sure. And she is a woman and she's on the run from somebody and then she runs into the cops and she's got drugs on her. So they bag her up and they take her to a facility, a rehabilitation facility and there she meets Eric who's played by Bill Skarsgård and they fall in love and they're like, let's escape together. Let's get that get the heck out of here because the guys are coming from each other and it's not just the drugs and they escape and they fall in love and then then Shelley is killed.

Starting point is 00:38:03 Yeah, spoiler alert. If you've seen the trailer of the previous movie. Yeah. And and and so is Eric but then he gets the crow powers. He's like I better be the crow, I guess. And he meets a dude in the afterlife at a train station. He's like, what is this fucking Harry Potter? And he goes, no, this is the crow.

Starting point is 00:38:19 You've got crow powers. Yeah. But maybe not all the crow powers yet or something. You have to believe in yourself to truly know the crow. Yeah, that's right. And unfortunately, there or something you have to believe in yourself to to truly know the crow Yeah, that's right. Unfortunately, there's a man who can tell people what to do and he doesn't like the crow. It's Danny Houston He is he's back. He's made a 30 to 30 to 50 year career out of being a Who's a supernatural evil dad?

Starting point is 00:38:41 And good on him, you know, God bless him. Every movie needs that. I agree. As far as I'm concerned. Yeah, I don't think anybody's bad in this. I think... I think FK Twigs especially is good. I think it's a very solid cast. I just think... I didn't... I think the love story element goes for way too long, which probably would have been alright if it was interspersed with something else. Burst of incredible violence? Burst of incredible violence. And there is burst of incredible violence in the last like

Starting point is 00:39:05 20 minutes of this. I also, I got to a point where it's like, I don't care for this twee bohemian lifestyle that keeps showing. Interesting, okay. They're both like teen goth amily running around together. I thought you wouldn't like that. Their pastel emos is what they are. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:39:22 Their gen z or something. I don't know if they even, I don't even think they are. You hate them because they're young and cool. I think Bill Skarsgard is like three years younger than I am. Yeah, I think he's yeah. No, he's 34. Okay, so he's a few more years than three. He's not that much younger than I am But they're like hello young man, and I'm like come on. This is like 36. He's not he's 34. He's tall I give him that. That's true. So yeah, I don't know I just think I understand that the the love story element of the crow, it's absolutely essential to the revenge element of it to getting the audience on board. I completely agree with it, but I just think this could have been like 90 minutes.

Starting point is 00:39:58 He could have knocked half an hour of that. And then even when like he gets the crow powers and he comes back and he's like, I'm the crow now. I'm the crow now, bitch. And then he's like walking. I crow powers and he comes back and he's like I'm the crow now I'm the crow now bitch and then um he's like walking on the crow now no cap yeah for real for real this could have been a sequel why is he fucking eric draven again no one's craven for eric draven because nobody's watching the crow nobody remembers the name eric draven if you've seen the first crow was 150 years ago eric draven don't think they even say Eric Draven in it. Okay. Here's the thing. I... You can even be like there was a crow when he was cool.

Starting point is 00:40:29 Well, see, that's the thing. Do you also... Would you rather this movie or would you rather a scene where our new... You're right. He's just called Eric. Yeah. Would you rather a scene in this movie where this character, whose name is Young Gravy... He's played by Young Gravy, and he meets, and Brandon Lee shows up, a deep fake version of Brandon Lee. Absolutely not. Obviously don't do that.

Starting point is 00:40:53 That's a nightmare. It seems like you're hanging out for that is what you're saying. Just the idea that you can connect it and pay homage in a way that's not absolutely fucking distasteful. It is possible. I know, but I don't think this movie absolutely fucking distasteful. It is possible. So like, I know, but I don't I don't think this movie inherently was distasteful. I know. I know. I think they wanted to be like, this is a clean reboot of the pro. But like, if you want to bring in, I don't think this was ever going to do well.

Starting point is 00:41:17 I think it. Yeah. Look, I like you were saying, I see what you're saying about the the the took too long to get going. I didn't feel the length of the love story like I was like, oh, this is gone Through this is going this is going by pretty pretty quickly. I don't mind this. Yeah, I don't know man Maybe it's just I'm fascinated with what young people are up to they're not that young nice I know but we're pretending it's movie magic. You're pretending that they're 19 or whatever. I think yeah Maybe I don't know or they're like or they're 19 or whatever I think. Yeah. Maybe. I don't know. Or they're like, or they're like 30 years old. 36. She looks great. They look great.

Starting point is 00:41:50 They look much younger than us. Wonderful skin. You can put all the tattoos on them because they got a great, they got a great bed of skin going already. A bed of skin. They've got a great bed of skin. It's called a canvas, Mason. Okay. It's a human body. Get used to it. It's called a tarp, is what it is. A tarp of skin. Anyway, I didn't feel the length of the love story. I thought it went by at a very nice pace. And then I felt the connection. I'm like, oh, I like, you know, this is a bit of fun.

Starting point is 00:42:19 I agree. But again, I got it. And then when he became the crow, as I was saying, he's having more flashbacks to how much they're kissing each other through a silk curtain or whatever. agree. Yeah. To what? But again, I got it. And then when he became the crow, as I was saying, he's having more flashbacks to how much they're kissing each other through a silk curtain or whatever. Yeah, I remember. Through a tarp, James.

Starting point is 00:42:32 Through a tarp, yeah. It was about tarps. You don't seem to get that. Yeah. Adjust your mindset to know this movie is all about tarps. You're right. Yeah. But also, I think that's not the only thing wrong with this. I think I something I liked. I like the way that when he is damaged and the way he heals,

Starting point is 00:42:50 like it's, it's painful. Yes. He's not getting rid of with bullets and then like, ha ha ha. Yeah. Like pushing his parts back together. He's having to push his intestines back in and get the sword out or whatever. It hurts just as much. Yeah. I mean, having not seen the original Crow in a number of years, I think we did a commentary on it some years ago. I don't know. I remember Brandon Lee's the Crow. He seems to be having too much fun murdering people. That's okay.

Starting point is 00:43:19 He's having a good time. Okay. His Heath Ledger is jokering us. I guess he is. That's true. Yeah. I thought the action in this pretty good There's a this I agree is a scene of the opera which I thought was happens at the end of the movie. I taught men

Starting point is 00:43:32 Back end of the movie back end of the movie last 20 minutes. I'm looking at my watch I'm like I'm out of here in 15 minutes is something gonna happen Okay, there's something gonna happen or is he gonna fall into a train station through a puddle again? Maybe. Yeah, he does. Spoilers. I didn't like it. Okay. Did you like it enough to say it's the worst movie ever though? No, it is the worst movie ever. Okay.

Starting point is 00:43:54 I'm not saying it's the best movie ever. It's not. I'm not recommending this. I'm saying it's the best movie ever. That's crazy. I think, yeah. It's crowzy. That's crowzy, basically. It's crowzy what I've said there. But I stand by it. I think, again, I think that, again, believed in the relationship. I thought the action was pretty solid.

Starting point is 00:44:08 I think the action is, yeah. Yeah, the scene in the opera, he's not, it's a believable struggle, I think. Yeah, he's not even skilled. Yeah. He's just, he's invincible and he takes a fair time. Yeah, he doesn't suddenly know kung fu. And he feels a lot of, he takes a fair time. Yeah, he doesn't suddenly know kung fu. And he feels a lot of pain. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:44:26 And I like the... there's an element to this. So in the first one, the conceit is there's a particular crow that has carried his soul from the grave to back to the real world. And if that crow is killed or injured, he feels the harm of that. Yeah. he feels the harm of that. Yeah, that wasn't part of this. But what the his invincibility in this movie is based on. Does he believe in the love he has for FKA twigs? And if he doubts himself, then he's not invincible anymore. I thought that was interesting. Yeah, I didn't mind that either. Anyway, big spoilers.

Starting point is 00:44:56 Big spoilers. Yeah, he should have just believed in himself more. Yeah. Also there's a bit at the start. So the reason that she's on the run is because there's a video that's going around. A friend calls and goes, I got that video. We're finally going to get Danny Houston. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:45:09 Because he's made a deal with the devil or something where he's got a special voice. And if he uses his special voice on you, he'll make you do your darkest secret desire. That's right. Normally just to stab somebody or yourself or kill yourself. So it turns out that I'm like, Oh, wow. Do you reckon he's directing? He just goes, Hey man,, if you if you stab yourself, I'll give you 50 bucks Give you 50 bucks. He doesn't you know, I got a pineapple in my pocket right here for you, mate You know, it's easy this pineapple mate. You got it. Yeah, 50 bucks. He just kidding

Starting point is 00:45:36 He enjoys corrupting like pure souls or see where I can get out of people. Sure. He loves it And he's been apparently been doing it. I'd like that. I don't really delve into it, but he's been doing it for a while. It seems like he's a hundreds of years old. See, I like the idea that it's a supernatural world, in addition to just there being the crow. Yeah, absolutely. The last one I was just, this is a regular world, but he's the crow. But I like that there was a little bit more. Absolutely. I agree. Yeah, there's something that there's other deities or entities or

Starting point is 00:46:01 whatever. There's other things going on. There's other dads. There's other dads out there. For example. Yeah. So the video, you find this I got the dads. There's other dads out there. For example. Yeah. So the video you find this out what the video is and he whispers something to her and she gets up and she stabs somebody. And like that video just shows her stabbing somebody.

Starting point is 00:46:14 It doesn't prove Danny Houston did anything. I don't know what you thought you were going to do with that video. Aside from get yourself arrested. He could have leaned in and leaned into an ear and gone. I don't don't do that. If you don't stab that woman, I'll give you 50 bucks. I get a pineapple ear for it. It's the easiest 50 bucks you'll ever make. Not stabbing a person. Actually, I don't have a pineapple, but I got two lobsters and I got a tin. Oh, hello. There you go.

Starting point is 00:46:36 Still 50 bucks. Still spends that, isn't it? Nothing wrong with that. He's talking Australian currency, everybody, if you don't know. Money is color. No, you're right. And it's also one of those things where it's like, this video will, this is going to bring him down for good. Why don't you put it on the internet then? Yeah, exactly. It is the year, at least 2010 it seems. Seems that way, yeah. I don't know what year it is.

Starting point is 00:46:59 Based on the soundtrack, it's about 2014. Yeah, man. And yeah, you know, so but yeah, the action at the end. So again, he's not he's not a man of violence. You learn that early on because he's in he's in a drug rehabilitation facility. And there's a moment where like 20 people are shouting at him.

Starting point is 00:47:17 And he's just like, I don't know, man, maybe I'll just be sad in a corner. It's like having abs. Yeah, it's just for show. Yeah. Not for crow, he said. That's exactly right. And, you know, and then so I'm so youthful because I'm 19. I've got abs. Yeah, that's all I want. It's just for show. Yeah, not for crow. He said, that's exactly right. And, you know, and then so I'm so youthful because I'm 19. I've got abs. I have to work at them. I'm not 34. I've had to go on an insane regimen. So yeah, so it ends up so hydrated, but you can

Starting point is 00:47:36 still see my ass. It's crazy. I've been drinking water all day. Yeah. So yeah, so yeah, you do feel that in the struggle of kind of it reminded me of, um, what's that Dev Patel movie we saw earlier this year? Monkey man. Yeah. Well, like it's a guy struggling, like, yeah, he's got some abilities, but that he's invincible. He's invincible, for example. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:47:56 But he could still like be hurt, but he uses the fact that he can't be killed to his advantage to injure and maim others. This is R rated in the USA. I assume so. Cause there's a lot of F's in Jeff and a lot others. This is R rated in the USA, I assume. I assume so. Because there's a lot of F in Jeff and a lot of blood and people are getting their limbs chopped off. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:48:10 One guy gets a sword through the mouth. Oh yeah. Sort of horizontally. I think there's a good, I think there's a good like, yeah again like 90 minutes in this that you could really turn it in. Oh that could be a passion project of yours. Yeah that would be a passion project of mine. Yeah but even that stuff of like I don't believe in myself or her.

Starting point is 00:48:26 And then it's like, well, you should. And he's like, all right, I will. Even he fell for the video. The video that was supposed to show daddy Houston. Geez, this is crook. Yeah, it is crook, mate. He killed a lady. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:48:38 Oh yeah, and by the end they switch because he makes a deal to get extra crow abilities. And extra credit. Yep, that's right. On his assignment. On his assignment, which is to kill everybody by trading his soul for hers. Yes. Because when Danny Houston gets somebody to kill themselves, he then like laughs at their blood and then they go to hell instead of him. So if the crow kills Danny Houston, all the FKA twigs will go to heaven. That's right. But he won't.

Starting point is 00:49:07 Yeah, she won't be just be floating in a river or whatever she's been doing. That's right. Most of the movie. Oh, yeah. So she comes alive at the end. And the guy who's, who's, who's, who's given his drive and Eric Draven. Sure. Around. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:49:18 He's, he's also there and he's like, you're alive and he's alive and this is back in time, but not because they wake up. Yes. Where they were murdered together I guess for some reason yeah some supernatural reason I assume it's gonna be something supernatural and And this might suggest that the crow can like completely bend reality and reverse time. Yeah, man Superman style Do you think the crow flew around the world? Yeah, the crow really really his arms and he flew around the world Nice or went back in time. Yeah, whenever it works. And yeah, my notes just

Starting point is 00:49:47 here is this is the last time we'll see the Crow. Ouch. The Crow is over. I think we could get a Crow. It's Crowver. It's Crowver. It's Crowver. I think we could get a Crow TV show. Sure. And which will. A TV Crow. Yeah, which will reinvent the Crow. I would even like to see what you said. Maybe every episode there's a difference of the crow, you know? Or a different season there's a different crow. The streaming services would like that because they wouldn't have to pay one actor a bunch of times and then they'd get... You'd have to pay Nathan Fillion all the time.

Starting point is 00:50:15 Exactly. Making the rookie. Yeah, that's right. God. Can you imagine how much money Nathan Fillion is making? So much. So much you can do a bit part in a Superman movie. It's the stupidest Green Lantern.

Starting point is 00:50:23 It's the stupidest Green Lantern. Yeah. I don't know, do you think we'll Superman movie. It's stupid as Green Lantern. Yeah. I don't know. Do you think we'll get more Crow? I don't think so. No. Yeah. Unless also like... That's a no to the Crow. Where are the comics at with the Crow?

Starting point is 00:50:34 I don't know. I don't know. Who makes that? James Obar, but I don't know. I think it's probably published through a bunch of different people. Yeah. Calibre Comics at one point. Okay. Oh yeah. But it's been through Calibre Press, Kitsch and Sync Press, Image Comics, IDW and Sumerian.

Starting point is 00:50:50 So it's yeah. Blue Monkey Graphics, Saber's Edge, Fanta Graphics. Oh yeah, so there's a first... In 2020, July 2024, Sumerian Comics revealed at San Diego Comic Con. They'll be taking over the license to reprint stories as well as publish new stories. So that's where we're at with The Crow as of so far. Great. Anyway, I got some reviews here.

Starting point is 00:51:08 Go on. This one's from rcdominion who says, hashtag weekly planet pod on Twitter. That's awesome. The Crow had one cool scene that didn't make up for the rest of the dreadful, roughly slow two hours brandon lee performances. The Crow is a clear inspiration for Heath Ledger's Joker and Jared Ledger's Joker looks like Bill Skarsgård's version of The Crow. Weird coincidence.

Starting point is 00:51:24 Yes. Maybe. It's from Russell Michaels who says, The Crow is dreadful. Thanks, Ruckle. Outside of one cool action scene, the movie is fundamentally terrible, overly complicated and boring. One of the worst remakes ever. Boy Kills World was much better. Ouch. Which I also have not seen. I didn't say that either. Yeah, but I've heard it's better than this, according to Russell. Mr. Ruckle.

Starting point is 00:51:51 Yeah. So God, I mean, we've been talking about the Kraariken for as long as this show has been. So over 10 years now. And this is it. You finally got it. We clocked the crow. We got to the end of the crow. I think that's wonderful. It is, isn't it? And that means we get You finally got it. We clocked to the crow. We got to the end of the crow. I think that's wonderful.

Starting point is 00:52:07 It is isn't it? And that means we get to ascend to heaven. Oh wow. Yeah. Like the crow? Yeah. Or does he live at that train station now? I think he's mostly a train station guy.

Starting point is 00:52:15 Dumbledore's ghost and Voldemort baby. Yeah, if you've been getting off at a train station, there's a guy there and he's like, hey, that guy, that guy saved his girlfriend from going to hell. I'll say this, look pretty good. It does look good Yeah, look pretty good. Yeah, who directed this some guy Could be a woman you don't know. No, it's definitely a guy. I remember you know, no, it's no I looked at the credits I'm like, is it William something William Gibson? No Rupert Saunders. That's right good stuff. Okay No. Rupert Saunders.

Starting point is 00:52:42 He's directed good stuff. Okay. Has he? Maybe. Name a thing. Snow White and the Huntsman. Didn't see it. Ghost in the Shell.

Starting point is 00:52:50 I don't hate it. Rub and Tug. What? It's the movie he made called Rub and Tug. Interesting. Okay. Yeah. Oh, he did an episode of Found, Foundation.

Starting point is 00:52:58 Okay, sure. Yeah. So he's done three. He's done Snow White and the Huntsman, did the Ghost in the Shell and The Crow. And Rub and Tug. And Rub and Tug, which is, I don't know why that came up on Google, but I'm not seeing much going on. Maybe don't Google it.

Starting point is 00:53:09 Maybe don't do any additional Googling on that name. It looks like one of those teen comedy fucking movies from 2002 or whatever. Yeah, right. I don't know. Yeah. I don't know. Mason, let's move on. I would argue though that none of this is really anybody's fault.

Starting point is 00:53:25 I think in a better market that people would go, oh yeah, we'll go to the movies. The Crozone is pretty all right. Yeah, okay. You know? Yeah, fair enough. So you wish this made a billion dollars. Yeah. All right.

Starting point is 00:53:36 Maybe the next one will. What a return on investment. $50 million and then a billion dollars return? Exactly. Wouldn't mind that. Wouldn't mind that at all. And then they give me all the money. That's what I'd like.

Starting point is 00:53:44 If I can name my own terms here, I wish this movie did a billion dollars and they gave most of it to me. They could. Not all, I'm not creating. Yeah. Half. You'll take half. Yeah. They could go again. I mean, you think about it as in ROI, return on investment and that. That's a reasonable gamble to make. 50 million for a billion. Mason gets half. Yeah. You're still making a lot of money. You're still $450 million up. You're doing great. Yep. I agree. I'll throw some of that to James O'Barr. And me? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:54:14 Let's go to the next segment of the show. All right. What's it called? It's called What We Readin'. What? What We Gonna Read. What? I'm doing the thing. I'm doing the same. Okay. Okay. Let's talk about something that's good. And I like. Okay. The Crow?

Starting point is 00:54:34 This is the big reveal where you reveal you love the Crow? Why would I like the Crow? I didn't like it. Interesting. I want to talk about Terminator Zero. It came to Netflix 8 episodes, I think, maybe nine, I don't know. It's a Terminator anime created and written and etc. by Matt Tomlinson. He also did an uncredited rewrite on The Batman and he's writing on The Batman part. He's speaking of The Batman.

Starting point is 00:54:55 The Batman? I don't know if you saw this tweet. This is about a game or something? No, no, no, no, no. This is from, this is a tweet from Miguel Santana de Silva, who I believe did some of the production on the Batman. Batman's a good movie. Somebody tweeted, don't think there's been more groundbreaking work under the comic book

Starting point is 00:55:10 movie umbrella in the last decade than hashtag the Batman. And then Miguel wrote, good opportunity to mention that when composing the look of Gotham in the sunset scene, I took a small amount of inspiration from the rooftop matte painting in the room, which actually vibes so much harder than it has any right to. Isn't that crazy? That's great. Yeah, that's a fun inspiration. So inspiration can come from everywhere, Mason. Right, even the room. Even the room. Even the crow? No, even the original crow, sure. Yeah, sure, sure, sure. There's some things to like in new crow.

Starting point is 00:55:38 Agreed. So yeah, it's set in Japan in 1997, but it's also set in the future of 2022, but it's the Terminator future. So it's not the past. So it's marginally worse than the 2022 we experienced. Absolutely. So there's a guy and he's in Japan and he's like, I need to create a rival AI because I'm pretty sure there's a big Terminator future happening. But of course in doing so. Can he be morose? Can he be quite morose? He's very morose, Mason. When his kids are like, can we have some fun? Can it be like, no, you can't have any fun.

Starting point is 00:56:05 It's Judgement Day literally today. No. And they're like, you said we'd go to the park. And he's like, why would I have said that on Judgement Day of all days? Can we get an ice cream? I did say we could get an ice cream on Judgement Day. So all right, you've got me there. So I don't want to be a party pooper on Judgement Day.

Starting point is 00:56:21 We'll get ice cream. We can only get frozen yogurt on Judgement Day, we'll get ice cream. We can only get frozen yogurt on Judgement Day. Bull dead. Terminator is sent back to kill him or something. A classic Terminator. And a Protector is sent back to kill him or something. Who's a lady. That's right. One thing I like about this. I've only watched two episodes. Yeah, that's okay. I won't spoil all of it. Okay. I think it looks incredible. I think the action. Okay. I think it looks incredible. The action is amazing. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:56:47 I think it makes the because the main Terminator in this is pretty much one T-800. Okay. And I think it does a really good job of making them really dangerous and threatening again, like they were in the first movie. Yes. And just that thing of like being slowly tipped away in this unstoppable killing machine. But this also happens in the background of a judgment day from a completely different perspective in a different city. From the Terminator's perspective.

Starting point is 00:57:09 We get the Terminator, but also in Japan. Oh yeah, right. There's things going on in Japan which is separate than things that have happened and will happen in other parts of the world. So at its core, it is a very basic Terminator story, but I think the way it interweaves a lot of different elements and characters and time periods and causality and all of these different things and AI, because people love that right now. They do, it's true. I think it's a really interesting show and I think it pretty much does everything it's supposed to do.

Starting point is 00:57:40 Having watched the first two episodes, would you say it's a little slow paced? No, I won't. Okay, you won't say that? I'd say the crow is. That's the first two episodes, would you say it's a little slow paced? No, I won't. Okay, you won't say it. I'd say the crow is. That's the benchmark, isn't it? I think your brain is slow paced. I know it is. The crow is good and this isn't.

Starting point is 00:57:53 Mason. I didn't say it wasn't good. I said I enjoyed what I saw so far. Yeah, are you going to finish it though? Yeah, I think I'll finish it. Cool. I like it a lot. I think it's going to say a lot of fun.

Starting point is 00:58:02 No. It's not fun. Not fun at all. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, except when you're getting frozen yogurt. Sure. I have the judgment of the ice cream or whatever But I yeah, there's also a lot of people just getting murdered and people you'd be like that guy should oh the terminator stepped on His rib cage crushed him. Yeah dead now. He is dead So yeah, well worth a look will they get a sequel it might because it sort of leaves it open But also it's the terminator and maybe this is it and then then another timeline happens, etc. And so forth. Yeah. Anyway,

Starting point is 00:58:29 Terminator Zero. How would you say it compares to the other live action or to the live action Seraconna Chronicles? It's not dissimilar because there is like, it's like peripheral characters and events going on that also deals with like an AI which could potentially do more save humanity Sure, sure. It's like you just accidentally making Skynet though again. Like is this contribute to it? We are we are accidentally making Skynet. We are secretly making Skynet. It's not yeah, it's not dissimilar.

Starting point is 00:58:58 Yeah, it compares favorably. I would say. Very cool. They're both they're both things that I enjoy. Okay, I'll give it a finish. Check it out and finish it. I mean if I have time I gotta watch Beetlejuice. Go watch Beetlejuice twice. Yeah, that's right Yeah, save your money. Just watch Beetlejuice at home twice. Yeah Speaking of comic books. Yeah, we both read 2015's Secret Wars. We did That's Jonathan Hickman and Isadora Ribich. I think you say pronounce yes, and it's oh, you know What is going to somewhat inspire the upcoming? Yes, and it's you know, what is going to somewhat inspire the upcoming?

Starting point is 00:59:29 Avengers movies in the next few I've been read this for the first time. I did purchase it years ago Yeah, right at the start. I'm like, I don't think I'm into this. I really enjoyed it and There's so much of this thing. Yeah, definitely do as we read the trade paperback, which spins off from a couple of other things Yeah, so this I haven't read.. Yeah, Jonathan Hickman's Fantastic Four run and I think maybe a Thor run and also the Ultimate Universe Ultimatum. So... Yeah. But you don't really need to read all those. No.

Starting point is 00:59:54 You just eventually. Yeah, I think from... Yeah, it kind of... It felt to me the start bogged down in a bunch of that, but then it's fine. But speaking of comic books that won't bog you down, James. It was the thing that you down, James. I read the first issue of an image comics book called The Power Fantasy, written by Kieran Gillan, who people will know from Die, which is Sad Dungeons and Dragons, and The Wicked and Divine, which is Gods on Earth.

Starting point is 01:00:18 And it's illustrated by Caspar Wingard, who I'm not familiar with, but great art. And basically the premise is, it's set in 1999 in an alternate earth and on this earth since the 60s, there have been people called atomics, who are people that have sort of little superpowers, you know, sparklies on the fingertips, what have you. But also, there are six people who are superpowered, which is in this universe is a technical term for someone who has The equivalent power of the United States nuclear stockpile, right? So there's six of them from around the world and they do all do in their own thing And essentially the survival of the earth depends on them not

Starting point is 01:00:58 Getting at odds with each other. So it's like this real nuclear arms race It's essentially it's a key right if there were six akira's so it's pettiness... It's a nuclear arms race. It's a nuclear arms race, but it's essentially it's a Kira if there were six Akiras. So it's pettiness. It's a little bit of pettiness. I literally just purchased it just then. It's real good. It's really... I mean, he's great, so that's not a surprise.

Starting point is 01:01:14 Yeah, yeah. I'm going to look up Caspar Wingard. I'm going to see what they're up to. Yeah, it's just it's really kind of high science fiction kind of vibe, kind of high concept science fiction vibe really. Yeah. Castle Weed Guard did Night Terrors, Batman Detective Comics Volume 2 something, Cash Woman Fear State, Ghostbusters Back in Town, which is based on the newer Ghostbusters movies.

Starting point is 01:01:37 Yeah, right, right, right. Oh, we did some Doctor Afro, they did... Oh yeah, Transformers, all sorts of stuff, yeah. Good. Anyway, I think it's a good jumping on point for the series. I don't know how long it's gonna go I don't know if it's a four issue series or a six or it's ongoing or what have you but I think I think it's Seems like it's gonna be ongoing for a bit. It's got cool concepts and likable characters and they're all they're all having a clash

Starting point is 01:01:56 Oh, and it's in it the thing what it what's good with it is it's uh, they have different powers. They do. Yeah Oh, yeah, so one stretchy. Yeah one stretchy. One sassy. One's really, yeah. Oh, yeah. So one's stretchy? Yeah, one's stretchy. One's sassy. One's really not stretchy. Oh. Yeah, one's sassy. Like, really not stretchy, like, as a regular person or less stretchy? Even less stretchy than that.

Starting point is 01:02:13 Wow. Yeah, that's right. And what is good about it is it's a new universe, so they're not beholden to it. They can kill Batman. They can kill Batman. They kill Batman in the first issue. Good. Yeah, there's no rules and they don't have to send it back to a status quo at the end of the storyline

Starting point is 01:02:29 or whatever. Okay. Great stuff. It is great stuff. I agree. Mason, should we do letters? I think we should do letters. I'm ready to go. I'm also pretty much home. I'm practically ready to go. You're already home. Practically. Yeah. This guy talking practicalities for once in his life. Can't even bloody change a tire. I can change a tire. Yeah. This guy talking practicalities for once in his life. Can't even bloody change a tire. I can change a tire. Yeah good I need you to change my tire. That was a trick. But I don't want to change a tire. I said I can it's different. It's different and I hurt my leg. Did you? Yep. Good. Wow. Changing too many tires for too many old ladies. Sounds right. Yeah. Alright right, should we move on to what, letters? Letters, two letters. I'll do the letters. Just the tyre first. Hang on, let's do a brief

Starting point is 01:03:08 pause. Hey James, how's that new tyre I put on your car? Mason, you're doing a comical pause, but I need you to actually change the tyre, all right? All right, off we go. Okay James, I've done the tyre. I'm not doing the skit. I think you should really change the tyre. You're not in, you don't have the RACV? They'll do it for you. No, I want you to do it. Great. If I hurt my foot, does that count as work cover? Yes. Oh, great. All right. So you'll pay me out and not do the podcast.

Starting point is 01:03:36 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Oh, man, I'm going to sabotage this. Anyway, let's do Letters Now. Let's do it. Anyway, let's do letters. Let's do it Side note James. Hello. The the Mr. Sonamoo's goat puppet rather has been put into a drawer Yeah, like that's sitting on a you've you've you've ah has been put into a drawer. Yeah. Like that's sitting on a...

Starting point is 01:04:03 You've... Ah! Video's popped up. I didn't do that. Huh. That's very neat now. I agree. I like it.

Starting point is 01:04:10 It used to be just slumped on a seat or on the floor or something. Yeah. It's like held. It's held up. It looks beautiful. It looks profesh. And he's got an arm out to be like, what am I like? You know?

Starting point is 01:04:19 Is someone going to change this tire or what? That's what it looks like. Right. If you don't want to reach this show, you can simply hashtag Weekly Planet Pot on Twitter or studio.gmail.org or weeklyplanetpot.gmail.com or I'm putting questions in the Great Mace Group because Twitter sucks. What do you have in terms of letters this week Mason? Oh, here's an email from Luke.

Starting point is 01:04:37 Luke. He spells his name L-U-K-K-A so maybe it's Luck. Luckay? Is that like Luke as in Big like the great from Star Wars? Yeah, maybe. Or clone Luke? Hi James Mason, I saw some Twitter discourse this week, I saw this also. Stating that the secret to casting a good Batman is to cast an actor who could have

Starting point is 01:04:53 also played a good Joker. I think this is true for Keaton Bale and Baton Bat, but you believe this rule could also apply vice versa. Would an actor who's played a good Joker also make a good Bruce Wayne or Batman? That's interesting. Love from Sierra Leone, Luke kkkkkk. P.S. Please can you shout out my brother Tom? We live in different countries, we both listen to the pod every week and always talk about the weekly planet. Is it T-O-M-M? No, it's just regular Tom. I don't know what's happening in this family. That's a very interesting theory that I like. I mean Ben Affleck couldn't

Starting point is 01:05:21 play the Joker. No. I don't think he certainly couldn't play the What's that guys? No, the guy we hate. Yeah devil. No the guy he sucks, you know your mate He's your best mate Jared Leto Jared Leto. He could play Jared Leto's Joker. Yeah, I guess he could I'm saying he couldn't Oh, we couldn't I think you know, I think you could who cares. Okay, who cares? That's also that's not to say that he's a bad Batman. I just think that this doesn't apply to him. I don't think Clooney would be a good Joker either. No. Yeah. I mean, I think Luke Kikiki here has covered all the bases. Like Nicholson, I don't think would be a good Bruce Wayne. Depending on the era, I suppose, and what

Starting point is 01:05:58 we're looking for. Yeah. I guess, yeah, maybe in the 70s. I think Adam West could do the Joker. You think so West could do the Joker. You think so? Definitely. Yeah, maybe. Yeah. Yeah. I think the two that stand out the most though are Keaton and Pattinson.

Starting point is 01:06:15 Robert Pattinson. I think those are the two most Joker-coded. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where you could flip. Well, like, Killian Murphy was up for the Batman before he got Scarecrow. That's true, yeah. These things do happen. And Barry Coggan.

Starting point is 01:06:29 Oh yeah. He's maybe the Joker ongoing. He's maybe the Joker ongoing. Could he be a good Batman? I don't know. He feels more like a Robin. He does feel like a little Robin man. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:06:40 Yeah, but he's probably too old for Robin now. Yeah, he could be old Robin. He could be old Robin. I'm older than you, Batman. What about that? Robin, but I'm older than you, Batman. Is it? What about that? Robin bit I'm older than Batman. Would be funny.

Starting point is 01:06:49 I mean, Chris O'Donnell did it, didn't he? Yeah, that's true. I'm older than you, Batman. I live with you now. I'm older and taller and bigger. I'll get you. Well, yeah, I mean, I guess, I mean, that works in the sense that I, you know, they often say, well, the Joker is an evil mirror of the Batman.

Starting point is 01:07:05 So you need you need someone who seems like they understand the perspective. Yeah. Yeah. I've shown you those photos of Robert Pattinson recently. He did like a crazy, crazy 90s photo shoot. Yeah. He's looking all slick and gel. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:07:20 Oh, yeah. I looked at those. I did. Yeah. I'm a big fan. Could Clooney do another villain? What's another Batman villain? He could do a two-face. He could do a two-face.

Starting point is 01:07:32 Yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. He could do a clay face. He could do a hush. He could definitely do a hush. He'd be a good hush, actually. He could show up in the flash at the end and go,

Starting point is 01:07:43 He's not, I, cause he doesn't,, Calooney doesn't really work heavily made up. I don't think. So he could, he ever has been. No. So like, he couldn't, I was thinking maybe a Hugo Strange, but I don't think that works. No. That's too, like Hugo Strange is too, he's too gnarled. Yeah. You know what I mean? Depending. Sometimes he's a big buff man.

Starting point is 01:08:07 Well, yeah, but he's still, he looks like... Hugo Strange I think is supposed to look like just a kind of a, like a gnarled intellectual who's roided himself out. Yeah, okay. Yeah, fair enough. Yeah. Anyway. Yeah, it's interesting.

Starting point is 01:08:23 That's an interesting question though. I quite like that. Mason, this is from Ayman. That's an interesting question. I quite like that Mason this is from amen This from the great Mace group He says what's a project that you would see with James what with the James Bond franchise was it which isn't just another Bond movie I want to see old man bond standalone movie with Dalton or Brosnan I don't mind that at all and we've read a comic book called King of Spies, right? Yes, my mark Miller, which is pretty much an illustrator by I can't remember Yeah, and that is Old Man Brosnan.

Starting point is 01:08:45 It is it is exactly the art is exactly of bearded Brosnan in his current age who's yeah, who's ace who's a former spy in the in the vein of James Bond Who's realized that all the stuff he did back in the day all the you know Heads of state and country. Yeah, it was all nonsense and yeah, he's gonna get revenge and everybody That's really interesting. I agree. But I wonder if you present that to Pierce Brosnan, does he go, this is incredible? Or does he pass it to his lawyers and they go, don't ever do that. I think he would be interested in it. I think he, there's a few Brosnan movies like Post Bond, which are kind of like, this is kind of James Bond. Taylor of Panama. Yeah, there you go. There's an example of a movie I haven't seen. Which maybe came out while he was Bond. I don't know.

Starting point is 01:09:26 I don't know. Thomas Crown Affair, which did come out while he was Bond. That's right. I guess if I I'm not really interested in like a James Bond spin-off M or Q series or anything like that. I like the idea of maybe a more disposable set of double agents. Yeah, sure. You know, focus on a minor one who's just kind of having a worse time of double-O agents? Yeah, sure. Could you focus on a minor one who's just having a worse time of it? I think we talked about when No Time to Die came out, that I really felt it was that point

Starting point is 01:09:54 in the series, of the Daniel Craig series, where the support team had really gelled. Yeah. Because we got M was properly involved, and we got Q, and Miss Moneypenny was there and we got Tanner and those guys, right, right fines. And I'm like, I would like to see them work together post bond, but we're never going to get that. But I would have loved to see that. And you do bring in the bonds you bring in, you know, or you do you do a side call and 009 comes in for his Aston Martin and bonds has stolen it.

Starting point is 01:10:23 He's gone rogue. Yeah, like, well, I guess I'm just sitting around all day, aren't I? Because, you know, again, we don't know how many 00s there are, but you would think that they're getting into just as many death-defying scrapes as Bond is. You'd hope so. You'd hope so. Getting your money's worth.

Starting point is 01:10:41 Or they're just keeping their heads down, maybe. Maybe they are, yeah. He's the lunatic one. He's the one you push out into the field more. Maybe there's a bunch of double O's that are just, they've scurried their way into like really long-term undercover assignments in Jamaica or Hawaii or something like that. They're just getting drunk. Yeah, they're like, no movement. No movement from the bad guys. I better stay here for another month. Sorry. Didn't see a goddamn thing. Yeah, nothing's happened so far movement. No movement from the bad guys. I better stay here for another month. Sorry. Didn't see a goddamn thing.

Starting point is 01:11:06 Nothing's happened so far. It'd be interesting to know if they're assigning assignments to specific bonds who are good at specific things. Yeah. So like, you know. Karate. One's the karate one. One's the karate one.

Starting point is 01:11:17 We need you to take down a corrupt karate tournament, 003. All right, I am good at karate. You know, like they've got- Because Bond was good at poker. That's why they got him to do Casino Royale. Like maybe there's like a finance guy, you know, who's just working at corporate finance. Forensic accountancy, that's his thing. Like the accountant, Ben Affleck. Yes.

Starting point is 01:11:37 You know, a James Bond fellow. I don't know. MGM, not MGM, whoever owns Bond- MGM, Amazon. Yeah, but it's the Broccoli family that have... The Broccoli family. Eon Productions. Yeah, they have the final say in everything.

Starting point is 01:11:50 And that's why there's not a million James Bond movies and spin-offs and TV shows. And I like that because it's one of the few properties that yet, and this will probably change, that's not just constant spin-offs and opportunities to make whatever else. It's just like, you want to do it right. You want to have a good idea. Yeah. Was there a second part of that question? It's just like the idea of an old standalone Dalton or Brosnan. Oh yeah, nice.

Starting point is 01:12:17 Yeah. Something that's just not another Bond movie. Oh yeah, nice. Maybe you do a parody. Not another Bond movie. Oh, yeah. I would like to see the MI6 spin-off. Yeah, you know, I don't just and I love the idea of And again like maybe we could have gotten this at the height of Bond mania or something like that But I I always love in a you know any kind of show where they the the supporting cast have to step up Yeah, I always love that. Absolutely. I mean speaking, you know, Garner, who was in Deadpool. Yeah, she was in the show Alias. Yes. And it was,

Starting point is 01:12:47 and she's the number one super spy. She's great at everything. But there's a few episodes where like, she's, you know, karate, she's at a karate tournament. And the rest of the, you know, whenever anybody's like, I'm not a field agent. What am I doing? Yeah, I'm a frickin doing, you know, but they have to be the field agent. Yeah, really good. Get get Q out there. You remember when he was the he went to that. He went to the Q out there. You remember when he went to the Alps? Oh yeah, he went to the Alps. He's like, oh, I've got to get into this door really quickly. And he did.

Starting point is 01:13:10 I've got to get into this door really quickly. He got into that door. What a sequence. All right. What an action. Are you talking about New Q? Yeah, New Q. In the newest one?

Starting point is 01:13:17 Yeah. I should watch that movie again. No, I'm thinking, which one was it? It was one of the later ones. Bond has to go to a. A chalet. Yeah. And he meets, that's where he meets, uh, Liesadu.

Starting point is 01:13:29 Oh, so it would be the one before the last one. Yeah. It might've been Spectre. Spectre. Skyfall. Yeah. I think it's Spectre. Cool, man.

Starting point is 01:13:38 Yeah. Good question. Anyway, what's up for you now? This is from Joseph. Joe Pussif. This is Joe Pussif says, working on a TV show for the first time. Oh TV. Long time listener from Dallas, Texas.

Starting point is 01:13:48 I've been listening to podcasts for years while I go to film school. Tomorrow I get to work on a PA on a show called Lioness on Paramount+. Zola Saldana's in that. Lioness, Paramount+. It's like Special Forces but it's Zola Saldana. Very excited even if it is just Paramount. Hey, Paramount has some stuff. Come on, Paramount's got some good stuff.

Starting point is 01:14:03 Lots of good stuff. Yeah. Off the top of my head, can't think of anything, but I bet they do. This got me thinking, if you could be a fly on the wall of any TV show or movie while it's being filmed, which one would you want to see? God damn. Can we do past stuff? Because anything that was a disaster. Gilligan's Island. The TV show. I want to know who's drunk. All of them. All of them. You don't need to know. I want to see it though. Yeah, yeah, I guess that's true. Yeah anything disastrous. Yeah would be good Do you want to be on a fun set? But if you're not in the fun you're just watching is that fun?

Starting point is 01:14:33 Like I'd imagine like filming like the American office would be a fun thing to kind of oh, yeah Just to watch some outtakes, but then again if you're there day to day, maybe yeah sucks. I would I would love to be Yeah day to day maybe. This sucks. I would love to be... I would love to be a fly on the wall at any modern Marvel movie I think. Okay sure. Just because I want to see... if I can just... What's real? Nobody knows I'm there. Nobody knows I'm there. I just want to listen to all the phone calls and the meetings and people just go, I really want to know just who's running the show and just who's going, just do it in post. Just do it in post, it's fine. So I'm heading to the UK soon, you know that.

Starting point is 01:15:14 I do know that. So I've got one more show before I go and then we're taking a little break, but we'll put some stuff up. We'll put some stuff up, don't worry about it. But Collings is organising this, I don't think it's going to happen because we've got an email about- A Bucks party. Yeah, a Bucks party. Interviewing the cast and the director of Transformers 1.

Starting point is 01:15:30 Oh yeah, that's right. I'm like, great, sure. Normally I wouldn't, but my son loves Transformers and I'm like, it'd be cool. I'll go and do it and be like, where was it being Bumblebee or whatever? I'll fucking do it. But like, your son would be excited if you interviewed Optimus Prime, but he would have no interest in it. No, he knows who it is. He's old enough to know.

Starting point is 01:15:46 But anyway, why I really want to do it aside from that is one of the opportunities you can have is to talk to Lorenzo de Bonaventura. Who people might know is the producer on every Transformers movie and all the G.I. Joe movies. And I just want to sit down and just be like, just explain how we got here. Yeah, absolutely. What leads one movie into the other? When did you know to move away from the Michael Bay stuff? I genuinely just want to be like, just explain yourself. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 01:16:15 And not in a derogatory way. Yeah. I would love to know. And that's probably- You just put a gun on the table and you're like, explain yourself. And look, I know that maybe that's not the thing that like is commercially viable, but that is the thing that is of most interest to me. Because what I would, what I would also probably not going to have.

Starting point is 01:16:34 No, and I also would imagine there are some very strict rules, especially because it's a kid's movie. What you are and are not allowed to ask people. And if it probably like, don't ask about flops, don't ask about this, don't ask about personal stuff, don't ask about controversy, whatever it is. And so you'd have to kind of thread that needle. Cause if you say the wrong thing, they're like, well, I think this is over. One of the things that, cause you had to do this

Starting point is 01:16:56 application form, which again, Collin's helped out with. It's like, what's the gimmick or what's the thing to make the fun thing? Like they want hot ones basically. And I just write, I just want to chat. I don't know, is that okay? But I don't think that's the right answer because I haven't heard back. I don't think it's going to happen.

Starting point is 01:17:12 You should send a follow up. It's like, I'm going to bring in a dog and I'm going to shoot and see how everyone reacts. We're calling it dog ones and there's an asterisk that says ones is short for deaths. That's what we mean when we say we've done a dog one. I mean I've killed a dog. Oh man. I want to see what you do. Anyway.

Starting point is 01:17:36 What do you got? Oh is that me? It's me. What have I got? It's from Alex Funder who says this year I propose Sonic Timber to get your son hyped for Sonic 3. You can play the classic Sonic games, read the comics, watch the cartoons. There's so much great Sonic content. And if your son loved the turtles,

Starting point is 01:17:50 I'm sure he'll love the blue hedgehog too. Thoughts? He's got a lot of Sonic stuff. He's got a couple of Sonic games and likes the movies, he watched the Knuckles spin-off, got a few toys and bits and pieces. So yeah, I'll Sonic Timber. Maybe we'll play some Sonic games at BigSandwich.co. Original Sonic. Probably Sonic 2. I never really got the original Sonic games. You prefer Sonic 2? No, it's just like- You prefer 3D Sonic?

Starting point is 01:18:11 No, it's more a Mario guy. But I really- I remember when Sonic came out on the Mega Drive slash Genesis. Yeah. You'd start the game and you'd just floor it and then you'd be at the end of the level. And I'm like, I don't understand. Well, later on you floor it and you hit a crab. Oh, interesting. So it kind of- they're not as, this is something I never realized as a kid but like Mario there's a real like there's a flow to it and a balance and but Sonic is like

Starting point is 01:18:35 it punishes you for running fast. What are you Sonic? It's like you didn't see that crab and it's like yeah you made me go 100 miles an hour over this ramp because Of course I didn't see it. Like, so cruel universe. Yeah. I think that there's a reason why Sonic didn't translate into 3D is because like the at its core, it's not, it's not as strong as Mario. Yeah. And so it's universal in its application. Anyway, Sonic Timber.

Starting point is 01:18:58 You know what? I would love to be on the fly on the wall for the movie Die Another Day. The James Bond movie, speaking of Bond movies. Why that one? I don't know, man. Yeah. I don't know. It's a disaster that would be fun. God. Like that island, Dr. Monroe. Yeah. The room would be a good one. I fly in the one. Yeah. That, I mean, there's plenty of like firsthand anecdotes about that particular,

Starting point is 01:19:22 but it'd be crazy to be. It would be. You could hang out in Vancouver and watch every episode of the CWDC stuff. You could just hang out and watch every episode be filmed. Just in the cold. Oh absolutely. Just Stephen and Mel do chin-ups. Just 49 weeks of the year. Just sat in the cold. That is so true. And Here's an email, please one more email from Charlie Charlie who says oasis or no way sis Hello boys. I don't have a sister That's very gone that you know about yeah As you might have seen oasis are getting back together for the next year for a new tour

Starting point is 01:19:58 Maybe wonder whether either of you to have any thoughts on this if not Is there a band or artist that has broken up that you would love to see get back together? Love the pod also. I think there are more doors than windows from Charlie. I don't want to do that. I don't want to talk about that. Okay, right. That I don't want to talk about it. That is that has been swept from the internet. That's right. Boy, Oasis are back. Yeah. And I want to I'm very curious because for people that don't know, Noel and Liam Gallagher, the two founding members of Oasis had a long standing beef for literally more than a decade, at least probably 15 years. They've said a lot of really awful things to about each other. But they're brothers. It's fine. But yeah, that's the thing. And

Starting point is 01:20:41 they're like, and they've done solo stuff, and they've not got to go back together. Now they're like, we're back. And they're charging, and they've done solo stuff and they've not got to go back together. Now they're like, we're back. And they're charging like 350 pounds a ticket or something. Like it's been crazy. I've seen, there was the last couple of days, there's some really hectic stuff where people have been in a queue on their computer on their phone or whatever for like hours.

Starting point is 01:20:58 And then it turns out the ticket they wanted to buy which was 150 pounds is now like 350 pounds. So it's got that dynamic price. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So they've been like, pounds. So it's got that dynamic price. Yeah. So they've been like, they've been like, oh yeah, due to demand, it's actually gone up 200 pounds. And a lot of people, I saw this because there's going to be gigs in Manchester because that's where they're from.

Starting point is 01:21:17 Yeah. And a lot of people who'd booked holidays in Manchester for just that time, just by coincidence. No, no, no. They've had their hotel stays unbooked. They're like, oh, due to a computer error, we actually double booked and you can't book this anymore, but if you want to rebook, it's three times the price. So it's mayhem.

Starting point is 01:21:35 But I'm- That's great, Mason. I wouldn't say I'm super invested in Oasis. I do find them fascinating. Yeah. But I'm very curious as to what, and I don't know if we'll ever get the real answer as to why they're back together now. Yeah, I can't be all it's not the money, right? It might be yeah my pay well, I mean seems to be well, he's the thing as well though, like They'd have to have gotten they would have to have gotten run. They would have had to run out of money at the same time

Starting point is 01:21:59 Yeah, because if one of them ran out of money and then went to the other one and went hey, I'm skint I don't have a quid. The other one would just publicly go, look at my idiot brother. He's skint, he doesn't have a quid. Let's all point and laugh at him. So my guess is they both have the same accountant and they got cc'd in an email and the accountant said, okay, in five years, if you keep spending like this, you're going to run out of money. So you're going to have to do this tour now.

Starting point is 01:22:27 God, I hope that's it. Yeah. Or this has been a bit for 15 years. Like they just decided. It might just be. It would not shock me. Keep the mystery going. It would not shock me even slightly if they went, yeah, we just we wanted to do solo stuff.

Starting point is 01:22:44 And people wouldn't believe we just felt like doing that. So we decided to pretend we hate each other for 15 years. That's interesting. Also, like there is a different relationship with like a family member where you can just like talk absolute shit to and about them and it's fine. It's totally okay. You can literally just go to the next family function and go, sorry about that. And they go, that's fine. I didn't even, I don't know what you're talking yeah, totally. Okay, literally just go to the next family function to go. Sorry about that. Yeah, that's fine I didn't even yeah, I don't know what you're talking about. Honestly. Yeah fascinating stuff My son is there a band or artist that has broken up that you would love to see back together

Starting point is 01:23:13 I've got a list here from far out to magazine. They said the sex how did you do that article in far out? That's right. I did the sex pistols. No, I'm not gonna give a shit black Sabbath. Oh, yeah, they still tour I think yeah, yeah, spaceman three spac I think. Yeah. Spaceman 3. Spaceman 3, okay. I don't know about that. The Lars. What? The Jam.

Starting point is 01:23:32 No. The fuck is this? Talking Heads. Nirvana. He died. No, that's not on here. The REMs. The REMs.

Starting point is 01:23:40 Yeah. Didn't know they'd broken up. Outcast. Sure, I mean, Andre 3000's mostly doing flute stuff now. There you go. Cosby know they'd broken up. Outcast. Sure. I mean, Andre, 30000 is mostly doing flute stuff now. There you go. Cosby, Stills and Nash. And Young. And Young.

Starting point is 01:23:49 Thank you. Sorry about that. How dare you. Yeah. Ah, not really. The Kinks, the White Stripes, Rage Against the Machine, Genesis. The only one, I mean- Guns and Roses, but original recipe.

Starting point is 01:24:02 No. See, none of these, none of these would move me to buy a ticket. That's the thing. Somebody would go, oh, Guns N' Roses got back together. I'd be like, huh. Who cares? Okay, sure. Who cares? Are they going to play Chinese democracy? Also, good luck to anybody who bought an Oasis ticket for like six months into the tour. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:24:22 Like, if they haven't broken up then, I'll be, again, I'll be astounded. Unless it's a bit. Yeah, unless it is a tour. Yeah. Like if they haven't broken up then I'll be again, I'll be astounded. Unless it's a bit. Yeah, unless it is a bit. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, I mean even Fleetwood Mac still tour. Yeah, that's right. I mean, whenever I see, you know, you remember when they, there was that show Daisy Jones

Starting point is 01:24:38 and the Six and it's like, oh, this is a crazy rock and roll band. What about the hijinks they go up to? You cannot compare that to Fleetwood Mac. No. Like no, no even fictional. Are they all, they're all alive as well, aren't they? No. Uh, who died?

Starting point is 01:24:53 Uh, no Mac didn't die. Thank God. He's my favorite. Uh, it was the lady who wrote you make loving fun, which is the song she wrote about the lighting technician she was having an affair with. Okay. That she had to, that she made her husband who was also in the band play every night

Starting point is 01:25:14 while they were in Fleetwood Mac. And she said it was about her dog. What's her name? That's mean actually. It is mean. Yeah. But that's the thing about Fleetwood Mac though. It was all about It was just them having affairs and then writing about it and being a band. And then making them sing the songs. Yeah

Starting point is 01:25:32 Yeah, good band though. Good band. Yeah, Christine McVie. She passed away. Yeah Christine McVie, RIP. Thank you It's a wonderful and respectful tribute. That's a fitting tribute, right? I think it was. Because it rhymes. I think it was wonderful, yes, absolutely. Yeah. I don't know, it would take a lot for me to go to any gig, really. Yeah, right. There's people that I would see, but something like Oasis, who I like,

Starting point is 01:25:59 you couldn't get me within 100 fucking miles of that concert. No. Absolutely not. No, absolutely not, no. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. What about 1200 Techniques? Sure. He was also...

Starting point is 01:26:10 Area 7? He was also the genie from... The Tim Tam genie, yes. Tim Tam genie, yeah. Yeah, sure. I'd say Area 7. Okay, sure. 28 days. Later? No.

Starting point is 01:26:19 The band? Yes. Then yes. Okay, terrific. There's this other dad, other dad, at school. And he's always telling me, I think he's got it in his head. Yes. That I like very specific and niche Australian rock music.

Starting point is 01:26:31 Grinspoon. Yeah, so he tells me about these very specific... The Cruel Sea. Yeah, specific gigs of these bands. Who am I? Yeah, like Jebediah. Jebediah? They were at the Forum the other day. Body Jar.

Starting point is 01:26:42 Jebediah were at the Forum. No, they were at the Corn. Jebediah were at the Corner with other day. Body jar. Whatever. No, they were at the corn. Jebediah were at the corn with Magic Dirt. Yeah. And look, I liked a lot of those bands, but I'm like, dude, why? Because you're a man of a certain age. It's assumed, James.

Starting point is 01:26:57 You're a man of a certain age, all right? You should ask me about movies, Mason. No, I don't like that either. Well, movies are good. I don't fucking know. The No. Well movies are good. I don't fucking know. The crow. Go see the crow. Just burn that bridge. Straight away.

Starting point is 01:27:12 Go see the crow whatever. I don't care. Even a normal person is like what movies? I'm like listen. I know too much about this. We know too much and simultaneously nothing. Yeah this is a bad obsession for you. So just not gonna do it. We've seen so many movies that our opinion is and simultaneously nothing. Yeah, this is a bad obsession for you. So I'm just not going to do it.

Starting point is 01:27:25 We've seen so many movies that our opinion is now worth nothing. I cannot recommend anything that a normal person would like. I don't know. Have you ever heard of Tooby? Yeah, that's a good one. There should be a random button on Tooby and you just get whatever. Yeah. All righty.

Starting point is 01:27:41 Got one more Mason from Tyler Clark who said, what was the meal you always dreaded eating when you were a child? I hated avocado like couldn't stomach it at all. Now I'm fine with it. I love avocado now. I like it now. I'm like about it my way, but yeah, I can eat it. Yeah. I now I still can't eat coriander. Like it's still like it's like poison. Interesting. I don't like that. I don't love it. I got that thing that people, some people have. Ever liked a sun-dried tomato? No. Cause that when we were child, when we were children that was, that was a certain era. I don't love it. I got that thing that some people have. Ever liked a sun-dried tomato? No. Because when we were children that was a certain hero. They were a big thing for a time.

Starting point is 01:28:09 I'll do a cherry tomato or a sun-dried tomato. So oily. Didn't like mushrooms? Love them now. Yeah, I like mushrooms. Were you eating them raw as a kid though? No. Yeah, you've got to cook them.

Starting point is 01:28:18 I was eating them not at all. You've got to cook them. But now I can do either. Is that because of all the butter and garlic and salt though? I don't know. I don't know anything, butter and garlic and salt though? I don't know. I don't know anything, James. That's alright, you don't have to know anything. All you need to know is how to wrap up this show.

Starting point is 01:28:30 Was there another part of that question? No, just what food? I had another thought. Another thought? Give me the question again. Something food that you didn't like as a kid. Or meal. A meal?

Starting point is 01:28:39 A succulent Chinese meal. Ah bless him. Yeah. We miss him. We do. I don't know the thought but it's gone so it doesn't matter. Yo! Come back with it later. Okay, we will.

Starting point is 01:28:50 Folks, thank you so much for listening. We absolutely appreciate it. Thank you for telling your friends about it, the podcast that is, because that is how we get new listeners. That's true. And thank you for giving us a five-star review.

Starting point is 01:32:24 Grab that gym you guys, we'll see you next week. Goodbye. Bye. Every summer, my family is lucky enough to stay at an Airbnb. We pick a nice affordable area, take some time off, and enjoy some beach time. Last summer, we rented a cute beach house down by the Mornington Peninsula. Nothing beats taking some time off to disconnect, we rented some paddle boards, and spent most of the sunny days drifting on the water. Bliss! If you've ever stayed in an Airbnb before, perhaps like me you've thought to yourself

Starting point is 01:32:48 this actually seems pretty doable. Maybe my place could be an Airbnb. Because I know I have, and it turns out it's not as complicated as you might think. Hosting can be as simple as starting with a spare room or your whole place when you're away for work or a holiday. If you're like me and you live for the long weekends with family and friends, hosting that extra bedroom could be a practical way to make a little extra income on the side whilst doing what really matters in life, enjoying time with loved ones.

Starting point is 01:33:13 So whether you could use extra money to cover some bills or for something a little more fun, your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how much at airbnb.ca slash host.
