The Weekly Planet. Welcome back everybody to another episode of The Weekly Planet where we talk movies and comics and... TV shows. Hell yeah. My name is James Olsen. Friendship. Friendship. Friendship. We don't. And with me as always is my co-host Nick Mason. It's good to be here.

Friendship. I wanted to say it. I wanted to be the one to say it. Yeah, okay. That's friendship. If you let me say it and you acknowledge that you didn't say it. And that is that... Do it now. Is that what friendship's about? Yes. Okay. It's great to be here. It's a hot day in Melbourne. You ain't wrong brother. Friend. Friendship. So look. Brothers can be friends. No. Wow. You're two brothers. Yeah I know but like would we be friends if we

didn't you know beat each other up for so many years? I mean, would you? I guess we probably... I guess if I met two men and we beat each other up a lot... And you look kind of the same? Kind of the same. We wouldn't probably be friends, would we? Like at a bar or something? Maybe you would. Maybe the fighting would bring you together. I don't think I've ever been in a fight with somebody and now, like, a physical fight, and now we're friends.

I don't think that's ever translated. What about you? What about you and Mike Tyson? Remember, you bit your ear off and now you're friends? I don't think that's ever translated. What about you? What about you and Mike Tyson? Remember you bit your ear off and now you're friends? I'm not friends with him because he's a rapist. Really interesting take. That's my opinion. It's probably also not the only reason I'm not friends with him. Like I don't know him. And you bit your ear off. And he bit my ear off. Yeah. Anyways, we are going to talk about Compan companion and a little bit about Nosferatu It's a bit of a horror movie week, isn't it? Or it's a week about love. Yeah next week. It's Super Bowl So we'll be talking about that in some trailer. What's that next week? Yeah, okay interesting

What I would say though just before we get into any of those and the news If you if if you've avoided any spoilers about companion the movie companion Yeah If you've avoided any spoilers about companion, the movie companion, maybe skip that. Including the main poster. Including the main poster and including the second trailer. The first, the teaser was quite vague. I think the trailer kind of gets into the premise. Yes.

The movie is sort of structured like what is like the premise is a big sort of reveal. So what I would say is if you want, if you're thinking about seeing it, don't listen to any of the review. I agree. I also think you can, if if you do know it's still worth Talk about that like there's other things happening in it. Yes, so when we do the non-spoiler part of the room We will mention what's in the trailer perfect. I love that So we're gonna be looking at a few things Mason. We're gonna be looking at a spam update

Spam date. Yep Another not a spam date but a fantastic Four trailer date for the first trailer, sooner than you think. Anthony Mackie is facing big backlash for Captain America stuff. Oh yeah. He'll say anything that Chris Evans already said several years ago, more or less the same words but didn't get any backlash for now. And still says it and whatever, whatever.

Yeah, he still continues to say it, yeah. And is controversial. He'll say any of that. Do you want an update on Armour Wars? Because we'll do that. Yes. Do you want an update on the Sandman? Because we'll do that.

I guess. Yeah. Do you want an update on Squid Game Season 3 release date? Not really. Isn't that season two part two? They filmed them back to back, but probably. Then trailers for Sinners, Alien Earth and his new Superman teaser. And there's a bit of controversy behind that, which we talked about before the show.

You mentioned googly eyes People are like I don't like how googly the Superman is. I like my Superman. Not googly googly at all. Yeah Henry Cavill wasn't googly was he no, he was skin-tight and not googly at all You know, I'd agree with that. They put that on the poster. Yeah This man's skin-tight and not googly at all. That way is not Superman anymore Yeah, did that not resonate with people because they want a googly super man. It's get older you get tighter, not googly at all. That's why he's not Superman anymore. Did that not resonate with people? Because they want a googly Superman. Well, as you get older, you get a bit more googly, don't you?

That is true. And then we're going to talk about... Sometimes there's a bloke down at the pub, he's all googly. I'm googly. Yeah, can you buy me a drink? I'm googly. I don't want to buy you a drink or talk to you. Mason, and then the estate of Schuster...

Go Schuster. Go Schuster, sorry, who was a co-creator of Superman. Allegedly. Just kidding you. He definitely did. Is suing Warner Brothers about the Superman movie and distribution rights, which we will get into. We'll solve it. Don't worry.

Yeah, we're going to fix that up. And we're going to have to because he's suing for distribution rights in Australia. We need to see the movie. Yeah. And we're happy to pay out and we're gonna have to because he's suing for distribution rights in Australia We need this we need to see the movie Yeah And we're happy to pay out of pocket our own lawyers to make sure we see this movie and also make sure everybody's compensated Which will also be coming out of our pockets. Oh great. Yeah, and this podcast Okay, is Warner Brothers paying for any of that? I don't think they want to so But I get out my big adding machine and my like clear green visor.

Yeah, you got one? For some reason. Yeah. Cool. Cha-ching. Do you know what any of that does? Oh. Yeah, cool.

It's fun to pull the big lever. You pull it down and then that all happens. Time goes by like Rob Collings who edits this. What an incredible person. That's right. He fixes all that up. Put in that stupid reverse thing from last week. He did.

Yeah. That's, he's not stupid for doing that. No. You're stupid for making him do that. I know. And I say that as a friend. Thank you. Of you.

And Collinx. I don't know. Maybe Collinx doesn't like us. It's very possible. Is it? So you think? What do you mean? I don't know.

I just think we probably wouldn't. Imagine if you worked for us. Yeah, those guys suck, don't they? That's what I'm telling. Those two idiots, James and Mason. Yeah, man. God damn. This is by a variety. Sony has announced that an untitled Marvel film set for a June 27th premiere of this year has been removed from its release schedule.

Armors. Sony. Oh, Sony, sorry. Yeah. Okay. The decision comes after their Spider-Man spin-off, Craven the Hunter, bombed over the holiday season, grossing $61 million worldwide against a budget north of 110 million,

which is a, I can't stress enough how terrible that is. That might be the lowest spum, as for even, in particular in ratio between that and the budget, like my goodness, that is a dire outcome. What do you think it was? Like, was it anything or are they just well? So you're saying it was gonna come out June of this year. Yes. I want to take to film a spum I mean it would have to have been done. Yeah. Yeah, but I mean you got to put the Jared Leto floating around special effects or whatever

Right. Yeah, okay Good, I know more toe So does this is so is this coming out of have they trashed something they were working on or is it just they are, they just realised they needed a movie to be finished by now and they didn't do one at all? They just figured it out. Yeah, maybe that's what it was. It could have been El Muerto.

Because they're saying like this comes after Spider-Man and like Craven the Hunter bombed, but yeah, like you said, that movie would have, if this was coming out, they would have already filmed it by now. Yeah. It would have had to have been done. I reckon they could knock on out in two or three months. I agree. Probably be about the same quality.

El Muerto, Silver Sable. Do you think Spider-Man would have been in it? No. No. We'll start now. I completely agree. So we know we've talked a little bit. Have we talked about this year?

They are going to retool Spum, the Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel movies. They're going to say they're going to. I think they're going to start doing Spider-Man spin-offs. I think they're going to start doing like when... That's what they were doing. No, no, sorry. You mean slightly...

With Spider people in it. They're going to look at Spider-Verse and go... And they're doing the Nicolas Cage one for TV. What if we did a Spider-Gwen? What if we did a whatever, whatever, etc. And they'll just start doing... What if, you know, Japanese Spider-Man again and so on into infinity. That's what I think that if, because they have to keep doing it.

But I think they're also probably pausing to do the Tom Holland movies because that'll tide them over until they have to start doing something else again. Yeah. Yeah. Because if they, oh, by the way, yeah, because if they don't make them, they lose the rights and you can't have that. What is going to prevent these spin-offs like you say, you're Gwen Stacy, Spider Woman, etc. What's going to prevent them from being bad? Well, nothing prevented these other ones from being bad.

Yeah, I mean, I know there was a stipulation from Feige to have a certain budget, but that's it. to have a certain budget. Right. But that's it. Great. Yeah. But they seem to lean more and more away from the MCU. Remember they managed to put the vulture in and there was some venom stuff, which they

then reversed. And Madame Ware band. I guess Craven, which is not MCU movies at all. No, they're not. Probably. Craven might be. Right. I guess loosely you could.

A movie where Kraven's in it and his brother's the chameleon but there's no Spider-Man. And the Rhino. But there's no Spider-Man. Or he's still a baby or something. Well I mean no one said in modern times. If you assume Madden Webb and Kraven are set in the same universe, which there's no guarantee that they are. I assume that, yeah. Then, and he and Spider-Man was born in 2003? Whatever that was set, yeah. Okay. So he could be in his 20s now?

Yeah. Okay. All right. All right. All the pieces fit together. Do you like Spider-Man being in his 20s? That's fine. Do you mind him being an old man in his 20s? Okay, so I see. Yeah. I don't mind that at all. I do want to talk about Ultimate Spider-Man a bit later actually. The comic. It's good. Mason. Gone.

Good Morning America. Oh, good morning. But also the show Good Morning America. They are. We're going to go around the hall and we're going to say every country. Do you want to? No. Maybe just our main ones that listen to this.

Ecuador. Good morning. Absolutely. New Zealand, I guess. Good morning. Good morning. What else? Norway. Good morning. What's a funny country? Finland. Yeah. You enjoying listening to our podcast on your Nokia mobile phone? Finland. Stupid idiots. You still got those or you upgraded? Yeah, that's right. They were a good phone. They were a good phone for a time. I agree.

You play Snake on it. You play Snake on it. But now you can't. You can't do it. Anyway, Good Morning America, the TV show. On the 4th of Feb, F4, they're going to be debuting the Fantastic Four trailer. That's soon. Probably the one that they already released at various Comic Cons and etc. Right. Have we seen some of that? Yeah, some of it has leaked.

There's some big Galactus stuff and other bits and pieces and outfits and space adventures. It seems as if it is set a bit down the timeline. It's not an origin or if we do it'll probably be a bit up top because I think Franklin Richards is supposed to be in it who's the kid of Sue Storm and Johnny Richards. Correct. Yes, those things are both correct. Et cetera. So, how do you feel about that, Mason?

Sounds good. Talk about it next week. Yeah, I guess we will. Yeah, and there'll probably be a Super Bowl spot. Or maybe they don't want to step on Captain America's a Bird, and then Thunderbolts, and then Fantastic Four. I don't know if you've noticed, but some of the TV spots for Captain America, they're really leaning in.

They put the end game footage back in. They're really, they're like, remember this? We're in crunch time. They're like, you remember? Do you like his helmet? Remember when a billion of you went to see that last one? Yeah. The nanotech helmet?

Yeah. No, it's bad. It's awful. It makes it more generic when he's got the helmet on. It's just one of those Ant-Manman helmets that and man wears. Yeah, I also read that DC and not releasing the Superman trailer during the Super Bowl. They were gonna release it during the puppy ball Isn't that funny? That is funny. Do you think it's gonna be a dog centric trailer? Yeah, they're gonna shoot a dog What yeah during the puppy ball? Yeah, they had to do that the puppy ball. Yes, they put down the dogs

You don't win the puppy ball. Yes, like the Melbourne Cup. Oh good. Yeah, during the puppy ball. Yeah. They allowed to do that at the puppy ball. Yes. They put down the dogs who don't win the puppy ball? Yes, like the Melbourne Cup. Oh, good. What is that? What's what? The puppy ball. What is it? I think it's just counter-programming to the Super Bowl. I think it's just puppies on a little indoor field and they just run around.

That's fun. I know, right? And it'd be cheaper. Yeah. It's not $30 million for 30 seconds or whatever these ads are. That's right. I can't remember. Yeah. Wild stuff, Mason.

Wow. Wow. Speaking of Captain America, Red, White and Bird is facing some backlash. Sure. It's coming out on Valentine's day. Oh, bring it out. That's a beautiful thing. Uh, but Anthony Mackie has upset some people by saying what his take on his version of Captain America is.

Bring it out and bring your mates. Cause she are you on. Yeah. Yeah. Kiss her or him. That's right. Do it. Kiss her or him. That's right. Do it. Kiss whoever that is.

We'll push our heads together. We should do that. What? Get one of our mates to bring a date. Okay. And then cheer them on and push their heads together. I guess we could do that. To kiss.

Sure. Okay, good. I'm okay, right? Well, like generally. Yeah. No. Okay. Listen, Mason. Captain America like generally. Yeah. No. Okay. Listen, Mason, Captain America represents a lot of different things and I don't think

the term America should be one of those representations. It's about a man who keeps his word, who has honor, dignity and integrity. Someone who is trustworthy and dependable. And we came out afterwards after the backlash. That's right. Captain America is woke. And he said, let me be clear about this. I'm a proud American and taking the shield of a hero like Cap is the honor of a lifetime.

I have the utmost respect for those who serve and have served our country, which is also not something that he said he didn't have. Mm, chill. Yeah. Just to be clear, before I answer your question about this fictional character, I want to say that I don't respect the troops. Yes, my character is military, but he's a fake bird. So I don't respect him either, I guess.

But I respect him more than you. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Maybe get some weird wings and then I'd respect you. Cap has a universal characteristics that people all over the world can relate to, which is true. I mean, saying something like that is always going to spark backlash, especially at the moment.

Things are heating up, Mason. They're up there, heading up. I've heard the rapture is going to happen. People especially at the moment. Things are heating up, Mason. They're heading up. I've heard the rapture is going to happen. People have been saying that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That'd be amazing. To see? Yeah.

Do you want to be in it? Yeah, kind of. Yeah. Because then I'll be going to heaven. You would, no, you'd go to the like the Spum version of heaven. Oh, no. You'd be heaven adjacent. These clouds slightly yellow.

Like they're white-ish. But they're sorta like odd, yellowy green. People have been pissing in them. I mean it could be worse. Could be in the bloodshot universe. That's true. I hope when I die I don't end up in the bloodshot universe. I guess I could hang out with Guy Pearce. Or he died? Yeah, or he died in a bloodshot universe. Wow. So comic book. I can hang out with Guy Pearce or he died.

Yeah, he died in a big explosion. Maybe comic book resources. They spoke to Chris Evans. Such as paper and pens. Yes, that's right. Yes. In 20. That's how they started.

They used to just sell comic book. Really? Did that? Yeah. Yeah. Paper and pens. Ah, those big, big easels. Big easels.

Yeah. Big, big Jack Kirby cigars. If you smoke a big cigar while you're drawing. Absolutely. They spoke to Chris Evans in 2011. Chris Evans said this, I'm not trying to get too lost in the American side of it. This isn't a flag waving movie. It is red, white and blue, but it just so happens to be the character was created in

America during wartime when there was a common enemy, even though it is Captain America. I've said before in interviews, it feels more like it should be called, it should be called Captain Good. Laughs. Ha ha, laughs, we love to laugh. You know, he was created at a time when there was undeniable evil and this guy was kind of created to fight that evil.

I think that everyone could agree that Nazis were bad and he, Cap, just happens to wear red, white and blue. That's a bold statement. I mean, that wasn't a bold statement then. We can all agree that, right? That wasn't a bold statement then, but now I don't think we can all agree that the Nazis were bad. Some people are saying they could now. I mean, that wasn't a bold statement then. But now, I don't think we can all agree that the Nazis were bad. Some people are saying they're good now.

I've seen the researches of like, but did you hear this thing Hitler said? Yeah, I mean, but he, you know, what about all the bad? But like, I think all the terrible things outweigh that, like, quite a lot. You know? I'm sure he loved his dogs or whatever. He did say, you know, when somebody, you know, lets you in, you know, on the road with their car, you should give them away. He did say that, that is good. But I think it's outweighed by the bad stuff.

I agree. I'm with you. Yeah, I'm with you. Yeah. And also like, if you follow Captain America, the character. Also probably on the way to the, you know, the speech, he probably, he let a car in and the guy didn't wave and that was probably why that was in the speech. I think it's probably selfish. Yeah. Like it a car. He let a car in and the guy didn't wave. And that was probably why that was in the space. Oh, you think so? I think it's probably selfish.

Yeah. It's just by chance. This is the thing that just happened. Yeah. I want to rant about it. Yeah. You've seen this. You heard about this? Yeah. I'm Hitler. You know?

My goodness. You've seen this in the news. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So if you're a fan of. Mike D. Eisenhower. More like. Go on. Dumb Eisenhower. I would have gone with Doofus. Nice. That'd be good too. Good too? Yeah. Mmm. Yeah, so if you're a fan of- Dwight D. Eisenhower, more like um- Go on. Dumb Eisenhower.

I would have gone with Doofus. Nice, that'd be good too. It's good too. Yeah, yeah. So if you've read Captain America comics or you have a vague understanding of the history of Captain America, this is- all of this is very much in line with him as a character. Yeah. He doesn't just do what the people in charge of America say-

He's always losing his faith. Yeah, or the popular thing or- Yeah. Like, his representations, yeah, they often coincide with American values. Or maybe you're an absolute casual and all you've seen is, I don't know, the three Captain America movies in two thirds of which he goes against the government and he fights the government. And he throws the shield through a helicopter or whatever and it explodes. Yeah, exactly. So you know, I mean, he's given it up multiple times.

Sometimes he's a werewolf. It's not really relevant to this. No, that's true. But he wears many faces. Yeah, so I... He has a werewolf face. Yeah, so I think it is. And again, like American values and this idea of goodness, that's not a strictly American

idea that was not invented and... who invented giving somebody a wave when they let you in in the car Hitler no hmm but that's one of the best ideas yeah I agree it's a good idea but like the other stuff yeah the other stuff we did talk about that didn't we yeah yeah cool so anyway there you go also the lead of your friendly name but spider-man was he said he was worried it was work or I don't know oh yeah he said that yeah and then blah blah blah blah blah. He cares. Yeah. Comicbookmovie.com Mason.

Go on. They're saying after Secret Invasion a bad show. Mmm it was bad. That Armour Wars is being reworked. It was bad and it was stupid. Yeah. It was bad bad bad until the final episode then it was bad and stupid. We weren't even going to talk about it until that final episode.

God was talking about it. Now that I think that video has got like a million views. Maybe not that many. I bet it's got more than a million views. It's got two million views. Two million views. It's got 1.4 million views. 1.4 million views.

Jeez Louise. So, next secret invasion. I should have been keeping an eye on this. I don't know how or why. So anyway, the original idea was that it was going to be retooled, which is great. But now the original idea from Comic Movie.com is that it's as good as dead. So yeah, I know Don Cheadle, who plays War Machine, was asked about it recently. Also, his character was a Skrull for some of that.

So, do they have to mention that in this thing that's not happening, which might be a TV show, or they've turned into a movie, but now they've turned into nothing. Yeah, it'll be a five-minute they've turned into a movie, but now they've turned into nothing. Yeah. It'll be a, it'll be a five minute subplot in the next Avengers movie. Yeah. Like where have you been? I was a scroll and then, Oh, an alien.

Yeah. And then, and then a bunch of people stole all the Tony Stark's old technology. I had to go back. I had to go get back. I got it. I got it. It's here though. It's in this box.

Do you want to see it? No. You want to hold it? Is it just like a kind of cheap briefcase style prop? Yes, it is. Oh, then I'll hold it for you. I'll hold it prominently. It's got the Stark Enterprises logo on it and everything.

Yeah. And it's got that swoosh. Oh, that's good. So, is this surprising to you and do you care? It's not surprising to me at all and I do care. I wish this came out. I would have loved to see all the classic, the villains. You know, you ever heard of them? You ever heard of any of any? Crimson Dynamo.

Crimson Dynamo, Titanium Man. They could have. The Beatle. Yeah. Would have been there. Read would have stolen some of it. They would have had some of it. They could have bought back Obadiah Stane. Yeah. As big gas powered Iron Man. Yes. So you know, any of those. Yeah. So I mean, I guess they're doing Iron Man stuff in Ironheart and they'll fold Rhodey into, obviously, the suitcases. They'll fold him into the Avengers. Then you'll see Dr. Doom Tony Stark and go, you what? Because sometimes he's British. Ocean's Eleven. That's right. Remember when he was British? He was Vashja. I remember. Why did they do that? Why was he British? I bet that I'm confident there's a funny reason for that, but I'm gonna look it up. We'll find out later. I'll do some research. Do you think they were gonna cast like a like a like a lock stock kind of...

I don't think so. Cockney geezer initially and then more like... I don't think that's the reason. Because that was like the year of that, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. We'll find out and you're gonna love it. I won't.

That's a shame. I reckon it was. I reckon they were like we want a lock stock fella. Okay. Because lock stock was what 98? Mm-hmm. So yeah, I don't know. It's just a thought that I reckon it was I reckon they're like we want a lock stock fella. Okay, cuz lock so it was what 98 Mm-hmm. So yeah, I don't know. It's just a thought that I'm having. I'm still having it. Anyway, did you find out? No, they should have got yeah Danny. He was in lock stock Danny John Jules who plays the cat Yes, that would have been a good get I forgot he was in there. Anyway, that's how red dwarf episode. That's right All right, should we move it along or you want us to talk about whatever you're looking at?

Doesn't say, does it? No. Comic book resources, who's a friend of yours. It's true. And he supplied us with these cigars. Hell yeah. He said, they said that there's a fan theory that his character is actually an American pretending to be from London.

He loves the theory of giving him an excuse for the accent. Because it's bad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it is bad. It is. But that's the fun of it, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It is bad. It is. But that's the fun of it, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Bad accents. Mason's by variety. And one more note. This isn't by, just so everyone knows, this is not by variety. This is not by variety. This is comicbookresources.com. Our mate. Yeah.

Yeah. Uh, use, offer Kurt Kirby for free cigars. Free? Yeah, for your kids. Oh shit. Yeah, yeah. Kids smoke free. Whoa, yeah, over comic resources.com. Oh, that's what they do. That's true. Cheetal debunked the rumor that the

accent was something director Steven Soderbergh insisted on saying the director told him, you don't have to do it. To which Cheetal responded, well, that's how you wrote him. I'll try it. Oh, there you go. You wrote him like that. Okay. I knew it. All right. All right. He was going for a cockney geezer. Mmmmmm. Yeah. You what? You toilet. And then the remaining paragraph talks about how Cheetal is finally set to lead his own entry in the franchise with the upcoming Armour Wars. When's this from?

This is from... Tuesday. 2022. Mmmmmm. That was... Fuck, they announced that a long time ago. Sure did. Sure did.

Thank goodness. Oh well. Well that's television for ya. Isn't it though? Sometimes it doesn't happen. Sure did. Thank goodness. Oh well. That's television for you. Isn't it though? Sometimes it doesn't happen. Speaking of, Variety is saying that Sandman is cancelled. I quite like Sandman Season 1, but of course... One of the crookest men in show business was behind it.

Neil Gaiman, yeah. So a bunch of his stuff has been cancelled. He's been dropped from Dark Horse's publisher for one of his runs on Sunday. Good Omens was going to get another season, but I think they're wrapping it up with a 90 minute special or something. Things like that. This is their official statement, Netflix. The Sandman series has always been focused exclusively on Dream's story.

And back in 2022, when we looked at the remaining Dream material from the comics, we knew we only had enough story for one or two, one more season. This is what the Sandman showrunner, Alan Hamburg, said in a statement to Variety on Friday. Netflix has not responded for a quest for a comment on the accusations against Gaiman. Okay. Very brave of them to say nothing.

Isn't it though? And say it was canceled for a different reason and we have nothing else to say. Yeah, yeah. You know those books that went for years and years and years and even if you cut out all the side characters, There's still a ton of stuff about the main character. Well, actually there was only enough for one more season actually So that's what a coincidence. That's really it's kind of lucky in a way Yeah, I mean I know at the time we didn't say we didn't say there was only enough story in this for two seasons

Yeah, and probably if you look back at any interview with any of the people involved in the making of this They probably weren't we hope this will go for 10 years. Yeah. I mean, it was such a push. I mean, we talked about it here. Like, we'd love to see that get a second season. Yeah. I don't know.

Yeah, that's right. And it was right on the cusp of that era where everything was being canceled after one or two seasons. Yeah. And we're like, we'd like something to finish. Yeah, like everybody's got to see this. I think at this point as well, if you're like ethically worried about watching it or whatever I mean it's not gonna matter regardless because they filmed it

already they filmed already and they're not gonna take him on well not in the immediate future for anything else yeah I would that could very well change but I don't think it would really affect it that much because I'll wait till the reviews and save it sure cuz again I like season one but you know crook fucking bloke. That guy was a good Sandman. He was! That guy was a good Sandman. And the rest of the cast were good in the roles they had.

Gwendoline Christie was the devil or something. That's right. Patton Oswood was a raven? Yes. Gah, he's not really a bird. Mason! Speaking of Netflix, Squid Game season 3 has a release. It's not even a Patton.

No, no. As 3 has a release. There's not even a pattern. No, no. As a Season 3 release date, it's coming sooner than you'd think. I think it's coming tomorrow. Or even yesterday. What? That's right. Prove me wrong. I can't actually.

You got me. You got me. It's June 27th, 2025. So Season 2 is apparently the third most watched season on Netflix ever. Now if we can just circle back to your egregious claim just earlier, you said it's coming sooner than I think. And based on what I said, and then your reveal of the date when it's actually coming out, were you correct or incorrect? I was actually incorrect. But I'm beginning to think that you did that as a joke to make me look silly. Interesting.

And it worked. That's what I'm beginning to think. Well, given that it worked and I proved you wrong, I was being serious. Well, that's good. Let's put that up on the chalkboard. Just go on for me. This is friendship. That's right. That's right. Isn't it? Yeah, being petty. That's all what friendship is about, I think.

Being petty about pointless things. But all my friendships are built on. I agree. Trailers ahoy! Honk! It's our good friendship that brings us the trailers every week. You bloody trailers! Shut up! Yeah, but you shut up! If I wasn't bloody...

If I wasn't a seaborne vessel, I'd come over there and I'd beat your bloody head in. Oh, you're the boat, not the man on the boat. No, this is... Who's the guy then? What? Who's the guy standing on the boat? That's what my Barry Barry fuck you Does he talk is it just the boat? He's just crying. Yeah good Wow, you don't even do anything Barry. It's a talking boat that operates itself. You're fucking useless Just jump in the ocean put some rocks in your pocket first dip shit anyway Mason yeah sinners are gonna boats furious by the way so I'm here on the land yeah we have to get in the water eventually you're gonna go

to the beach are you by the end of the summer I'm not gonna go deep I'm not gonna go deep Mason I'm gonna ankle deep it's a barge it's gonna get it's gonna get stuck in the sand yeah but you know what he's got? What? A dinghy. With depth charges. Whatever. He's gonna bring him out Barry? Yeah, maybe. Barry's gonna kill himself before that happens. I don't know man. And you know that. I think he's got a look in his eye. Yeah, look in his eye. He's got a thirst for revenge now, but I think it's gonna keep him going. We'll see. Yeah. See you next week dipshits.

Mason? Yes? Oh, we've never liked each other. Me and this boat, by the way. Yeah, I've noticed. I don't think it's ever come up yet. I didn't watch the trailer for this because apparently it's got some massive spoilers, but Sinners, which is Ryan Coogler's next movie, who did the most recent Black Panther

movies for Vowel Station and much of other stuff. One of the Creed movies, I want to say? First one? Maybe, yeah. Did you do one of the Creed? First two? No, I think someone else did. Three is Michael B. Jordan.

Yeah, someone else did the second one. Right. God, he's 38 years old. I hate that. I hate that, Morrison. Let me just check. I don't think he did two. God, he's so young. Yeah, he did Creed 2, he was an executive. executive. Right. Okay. Yeah. So there you go. Yeah. So and this is of course, it's Michael B. Jordan as two twins who are

also hunting for vampires back in the olden days. I think it's, is it, it's a pretty obvious at this point that this was going to be Michael B. Jordan, Jonathan Majors team up before he got cancelled. Is that what is that's the twist in the trailer? No, that's not the twist in the trailer. I'm saying that's what it would have been before Jonathan Majors. Maybe it was. Yeah.

No, I didn't. I haven't heard anything about that. And then they went, oh, I just can't think of anybody else. Just make it twins. Yeah. Maybe you're right. How does it look? They got the, they nailed that they're both on the screen at the same time.

They did. Yeah, that's good. But yeah, the trailer does reveal, you know. Don't tell me I'm not gonna tell you but I'm just saying, you know It's a movie about vampires. So it's kind of it pretty much tells you who's gonna become, you know Maybe somebody gets bitten by vampire and blah blah blah. You know, it's it's yeah one of the brothers I assume don't tell me this is that April 18th. Don't tell me. Okay, is it April 18th? Don't tell me man. Do you think it's probably out sooner than you think but you said April 18th. don't tell me. Okay. Is it out April 18th? Don't tell me. I don't know man. I think it's probably out sooner than you think. When you said April 18th.

Yeah you're right, now you're right. And that's correct. Yeah. I thought, putting another one up on the skateboard. Honestly, I'm just looking at you and I don't know how you're doing this. Yeah, it's amazing right? You're like the Michael Jordan of picking a date

but then it's a different date, but you're right. Right. Yeah. If only I could monetize this and get free shoes. You know? I don't know what the emblem would be. Podman. Podman.

Yeah, it's just instead of the Jumpman, the legendary Jumpman iconography, it's just like a silhouette of a guy. You think it's Jumpman and not Michael Jordan? It's called Jumpman. The guy's called, the thing's called Jumpman. Isn't that Michael Jordan? Yes, it is Michael Jordan. But they call it Jumpman. It's called Jumpman. The guy's called, the thing's called Jumpman. Isn't that Michael Jordan? Yes, it is Michael Jordan. But they call it Jumpman. It's called the Jumpman logo. I promise you. I'm learning. Yeah. Is Jumpman part of Nike? Yep. Wow. Why would they call it Jumpman? Because he's jumping. It's Jordan.

Yeah, I know. It's a literal... But like maybe if he did a crime or something. Oh, smart. You know. But no one's like, oh, bring me my Jumpman shoes. They're like, bring me my Air Jordans. Also, Mario was Jumpman. That's exactly right. I guess he rebranded and Jordan could rebrand his Jumpman. Did you know what he was before he was Jumpman? What?

Mr. Video. Fuck. Yeah, that's right. Fucking Italians. You know why? Because originally he couldn't jump. Good. Well, he fixed out that, didn't he?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But anyway, to answer your question, the shoe out that, didn't you? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But anyway, to answer your question, the shoes got a little silhouette of me and I'm at a podcasting. I'm at the microphone and I'm also on my phone. Just like barely paying attention. And I'm on my phone. It's Podman, is it? It's Podman. Right. Really good.

Well, Podman, we've also got a trailer, a teaser. Text me on Podman. Yeah, a teaser for Alien Earth. That's right. Which is coming out in the Northern Hemisphere summer 2025. It's a scuttering, it seems as if it's a scuttering facehugger inside a ship which is making its way towards Earth. And didn't we figure out this was set after Prometheus or something or something and something?

Is that right? It's set in a period that's going to make it quite awkward to sneak into the like the alien aliens. you know, I'm assuming it'll be a town where they contain it all and yeah, or a facility, etc. Yeah. But don't we also see it's it's sort of in it. It's hit the atmosphere and it's sort of burning its way to. Yeah, yeah. It'll hit. I mean, I'm saying like within Earth.

Yeah, yeah. Like they did in Alien vs Predator. That's right. Requiem and original. That's right. They got rid of that problem. Quick smart with a big bomb or something. I can't remember.

So, uh. Cool. Yeah. And that's soon, right? Summer, Northern Hemisphere, winter for us. Winter for us. Down south. Yeah.

But is there any up or downside to a globe? Or a flat earth? That's a great point. I guess there would be on a flat earth. You'd flip it and then it's a, what is it, dust under the other side? Oh, there's dust under a flat earth. That's a great point. I guess it would be on a flat earth. You'd flip it and then it's a, what is it, dust under the other side? Oh, there's dust under a flat earth. Yeah.

You gotta dust it. I guess there would be a lot of big cosmic dust, wouldn't there? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So much cleaner. What are you feeling about this? Maybe the flat earth is good. Maybe they could, get under there.

It'd be bloody useful for once. Get under there. Yeah. Stop talking about it and do it. Yeah, that's right. Be the change you wanna see on this flat world. Yeah, build a big cosmic dust buster and lift the earth. Like space balls.

Yes, exactly. Yeah. So this is what we're talking about this for. This is Noah Hawley who did- Legion? Legion. Maybe Fargo? He did some Fargo.

Yeah, cool. That's good. All Fargo is good Fargo in my opinion. There you go. There was a brief Superman teaser as well. And it showed a demonstration of Superman's flight. Oh, yeah. He does a bit of a spin through like a gap in a ice collapse. But as with everything currently Superman that is, you know, also non Henry Cavill. Yeah, there are critics. There are. I saw somebody draw a little diagram that

was like, why did he go this way? What do you go in between the mounds? on the easy one? Because he's having fun. If you can even imagine such a thing. Sorry, he's not crying. One tier though, any more than that would be too much. Too much. James Gunn said there's absolutely zero CG in his face. Oh yeah, because his face is it kind of looks if he pulls it on a freeze frame, maybe his eyes like slightly askew. Okay. Which is also not what he looks like. You see him in an interview or standing or in a movie or any other picture. He's not like, I'm Professor Maraide Moody from Harry Potter.

I'm actually David Tennant's character or whatever. Spoiler alert. Mason. Go on. So zero CGI in his face. People's faces can look different when you put a wide-angle lens up I have to keep explaining this. I don't know also just don't the background plate is Slal barred that's a hundred percent real as is David So they've presumably filmed the background plate using a drone and they fired David current sweat out of a cannon of a cannon Yeah, and they're like David it would be easier Yeah, if we were to fire you over the mountains But because in this scene Superman's having fun. We're gonna shoot you between the mountains

You can go googly-eyed as well. Yeah, if you can if you want to you can yeah, we want can I yeah I've always wanted to go googly-eyed in Superman or live your dreams David current sweat. Here we go. You might die Yeah, you know you might because we are firing you between these mountains. This is a good opportunity for you. Yeah, that's right. Also, we're not paying you. This is exposure to the elements. You're going to freeze to death. But that's good for you. That's right.

July 11th. Nice. So that's when we'll know. Mm-hmm. That's when we'll know. Honestly, when I saw it, I went, that's good. I mean, we might know. Yeah.

If it's released here. True. That's all we're getting to that. But yeah, I didn't think this was anything when I saw it. I went, cool. Yeah, same it's released here. True. That's all getting to that. But yeah, I am I didn't think this was anything when I saw it. I'm like, cool. Yes, I'm saying and then and then we're not at we're not cutting it to pieces with a with a with a cinematic scale. James, I even put it in the thumbnail last week. Yeah, on the YouTube. Yeah. And I didn't think anything about it then. Well, I was looking at Tom Cruise, who's also in that thumbnail. He's all right, isn't he? Tom Cruise? Yeah. I mean, yes. I mean, he's physically alive.

I think so. I think so. My goodness. Here we go. You were speaking of Sewing Mason. You can get on board for this actually. You can make some coin. Deadliner saying, reported, the estate of Superman creator Joseph Schuster is sewing Warner Brothers' Discovery. One, they're one conglomerate, one or the other. I can't remember which one. I think Discovery bought them. They did, yeah.

And it's DC comic and it's DC comics claiming it lacks the rights to release the upcoming summer tent ball film Superman to a handful of key territories. I might think is there a grounding in this? Potentially. Oh, these are the details. The seeking damages and an injunctive relief for defendants ongoing infringement in Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia, as well as declaratory relief establishing the Schuster state's ownership rights across

relevant jurisdictions. And apparently this is going to be a little bit illegal mumbo-jumbo. Mason's going to explain this. Those Siegel and Schuster assigned World Ride rights to DC's Superman in 1938 for $130. That's true. They did. $65 each. The receipt of course sold for more than that at auction. Did we all know that? What did that make? Like 10 grand or something? Makes sense. The copyright laws of countries with the British, those in the country you mentioned, contain provisions automatically terminating such assignments 25 years after the author's death, vesting in the Schuster estate, the co-author's undivided copyright interest in such countries, the

suit says. So Schuster died in 1992, Segal in 1996. So by operation of law, Schuster's foreign copyrights automatically reverted to his estate in 2017, which also was when the last Justice League, well last time we saw Superman Cinemat, no, he was in Black Adam, but I don't know if they would have, it's not a Superman movie. I don't know. There's probably a specific other thing. Mm-hmm. And 2021 in Canada, so it's basically saying, they're saying that they're just exploiting Superman across

areas which they don't own the rights to anymore due to copyright as a result of the original creators death. Okay, so there might actually be something in this I'd imagine all if they pay out, they would, because they'll just give them a bunch of money, cut them a check and then you know, forward, I'd imagine I mean, yeah, I don't know what they get from it still, the estate, hopefully a bunch didn't they do this every time there's a super movie coming out? Did they do it for Man of Steel?

No, no, this is new because it was 25 years after the author's death. Right, but am I saying, I'm saying have they done it before under different circumstances? Oh no, because I think, I mean they end up getting some kind of recognition, didn't they? Yeah. But it was after they were long dead. Yeah. And then they started actually putting their names in the movies and things like that. So which they weren't doing for a time.

But it said two dumb idiots in the credits. Two dumb idiots. Two dumb idiots with $65 each. That's right. Yeah. You know, so honestly, good luck to them. Yeah. So Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster, two dumb idiots. We spend more on lunch than $65 each today. Absolutely they do. Can you imagine creating Superman and then dying with none of that money except for $65?

I mean it was pretty late though wasn't it? No exactly, yeah it was very late in the game. It wasn't a billion dollars or what? No it wasn't a billion dollars exactly. So you know. Oh well, it'll be out of copyright in when? 2035, some of that. Maybe.

Great. Let's move on. And then we can have a low budget Superman horror movie where he's a serial killer. Can you imagine? Did you see the trailer for Pan? Can you imagine? Do you see the trailer for Peter Pan's killer? Yeah, it was at the top of companion. Yeah.

Yeah. Actually it looked not bad. I thought it looked bad. It vibes. Oh yes. Okay. It's a bit where he tried to drag a kid into a drain. I'm like, I've seen this in a movie. Can't trick me.

That's right. I know old movies. Yeah. Can't trick me in the movie or in real life. No, I wouldn't go into a drain. Nope. Not even for a choccy bar. Well, maybe.

That's right. Depends what kind. A chiquito. No. Yeah. No. Yuck. Twix?

No, too chewy. I found recently too chewy. Reese's Pieces? No. No? Violet Crumble. Yeah, they're good. Crunchy? No. Really? Yeah. I like them both, but Violet Crumble is better. I agree. Should we move on to the next segment of the show? No, let's rate more chocolates. Oh, we're going to do that in the next segment. Okay, great. Yeah, cool. It's the rate, the chocolate segment. Yeah. It's companion time, everybody. Do you have a companion? Yeah, it's the right the chocolate segment. Yeah, it's companion time everybody. Do you have a companion? Yeah, it's this violet crumble. Very good. Yeah. What do you think of it? Delicious. Would you I was gonna do a movie spoiler I won't do that. Yeah, I won't do it. Love to do a movie spoiler. You tried to spoil sinners for me earlier

I tell me about spoiling movies man. It's right goddamn dog Mason is on a budget of 10 million dollars. Well10 million, pretty good. It's got a box office return. It looks the US opening. It's not going to be huge, but it's going to have a 10 million plus. It's just in the US. This will make its money back. I'd imagine it'll probably end up between anywhere between 50 and 60 million, maybe a bit lower. Even if it made 20. 20 is not great. Let's say it made 30 to 40. And then they give us 10. And they do it under the cash under the table so we don't have to pay any taxes.

I don't want tax, I just want the money. Exactly, just give us that money. Yes, I'm thinking. So I think this will turn a tidy little profit. As it should. Because it's a fun little joint. Now how is this tied to other horror movies? That one that was big and people liked it, Barbarian.

It's not. Well, except for the fact that Barbarian was directed by Zach Kreger, who was a former member of the Widest Kids You Know, the sketch comedy group. He has produced this. This was written and directed by Drew Hancock, who does not have a clickable link. No, that is everything. He might have been involved with Fred3CampFred. Okay, great.

Terrific. That'sFred. Okay, great. Terrific. That's good. Okay, great. Written and produced by Drew Hancock, produced by Zach Creager, Roy Lee, Ralph Margulies and JD Lifshitz. Oh yeah. But it's starring Sophie Thatcher and Jack Quay. They're a couple on a weekend getaway with friends at a remote cabin.

That's right. And is everything as it seems? Yes. It's boring. Just kidding. Something happens. Stuff happens. I tell you that much. What do you think the story was? You just did it. I did. I just did it. But to reveal something that is in the second trailer.

And also the poster. Is it? Yeah. There's one of the posters where you see the... Oh, interesting. Again, I know you talked about this up top. If you're interested in this, if you like a horror movie, a pretty good one. Yeah. Just switched jump ahead.

I would say it's pretty light on for the horror. Yeah. It's funny. It's not incredibly gory. No. It's got a few little twists and turns. Yeah. It's just, it's like kind of a spin on other things you might've seen.

Yeah. Like some little nods and references. There's a bit of ready or not. There's a bit of a terminator. There's other bits and pieces kind of within it. Yeah. So, so, um, yeah, it does, it does, it does flow better, I think, if you don't know anything about it. Oh, great.

But the reveal is that, well, the initial reveal is that while Jack Quaid and Sophie Thatcher seem to be the perfect couple, Sophie Thatcher is in fact a robot and she believes she is a robot. she believes she is a robot. She believes she's a human being. Yeah. Which is how the robots are apparently designed in this future world. Because it makes them more, I don't know, realistic and yes. So they won't flip out, I guess.

Yeah, they have, they have, they've been given memories and basically, and they've been given blind spots, it seems to their own, um, roboticity. Yeah. Roboticity. Yeah, roboticity. Multiplicity Michael Keaton. Very good. Very good word association, which is what we do here. That's right. So, so the movie here.

Oh yeah. Robot. It's, it's a scarlet vision. Uh, what? Vision. The vision. Paul Bettany's in that. He's a robot.

He's a robot. Synthoid boy. That's right. Yeah. Sophie Thatcher, uh, and Jack Wade are the leads in this. They're great. Jack Wade, having a bit of a good time, isn't he? A bit of a run at the moment. Yeah. He's so tall, I think.

He seems tall. I don't know. All right. He's in the boys. Sometimes when he like, Homelander squares up to him because Huey's supposed to be like, little. Yeah. Homelander's like, big. It's like, oh, he's much bigger than Romand. Which I think also adds to the show, honestly. But yeah, Megan, what else?

Megan Suri, Lucas Gage is in this. Yep. I really like Lucas Gage. Do you remember when he went viral? I think when he was in that, they were doing a casting over Zoom. And I think it was, I want to say the director. Oh, it was like, look at this idiot in his garbage apartment. Or is that it was that him? That was him. Yes, that was that was him with the garbage apartment. Yeah, getting not him saying that. And he was very, like, cool about it. It was like, oh, that's why I would love to get this job so I could I know this is a garbage apartment. Right? Whatever. But yeah, he might might have seen me in like the White Lotus and a bunch of other stuff.

He's American Vandal. He's the American Vandal. Is he? Well, he's in it. I don't think he's the American Vandal. No, he's not. Gage posted a clip of his audition on Zoom during which director Tristan Shapiro could be heard criticizing Gage's apartment unaware the microphone was not muted.

Gage received messages of support from others in the film industry. And then although he did not get the job, the rejection allowed him to accept a part in the White Lotus. Isn't that awesome? That's good. Yeah. And he's got great hair. He does have great hair.

That's true. Yeah. And we'll talk about that later. And Rupert Friend, of course. No friend of mine. No friend of mine either. Neither of us have, because we're our own friends. We don't have other friends.

I have some other friends. You don't. You're of mine either. Neither of us have, because we're our own friends, we don't have other friends. I have some other friends. You don't. You're not allowed to. Okay. God want you to call them right now, all of them, on speaker. Can I text him?

Yeah, actually, do that. Okay, I've done it. I've done it. They're all dead to me. I just sent a group text, you're all dead to me. No, I will not elaborate. Remember when you got kicked out of that group chat of people from your school? Yes!

Because you didn't say anything for four years? Yes! How'd that make you feel? I did say one thing. I did say, what is this alt-right ICQ? Yes. Of people from your school? Yes. Because you didn't say anything for four years? Yes. How'd that make you feel? I did say one thing. I did say, what is this alt-right ICQ? What's going on here? Did you say that? Yes.

When in the timeline of... Quite early on. That's a good joke. What are they up to? I don't know. I don't know what the group's up to. Mate, I can only imagine and speculate. Anyway, yeah, I mean, beyond that, this movie, Delightful Fun, I thought, you know, it's

Sophie Thatcher Nails, you know, synthetic being that does have thoughts and dreams and emotions, but then it turned out they were all fake. And, and... I mean, it's a very... I guess it's a way to frame it. It's a very human performance. She's not like big blue arm and wagon robot or whatever. Although her nickname is beep boop. Oh, that is true. Um, so that, yeah. So I think, yeah, she plays it like a person for the most part, you know, uh, yeah, which obviously works. Um, I think also it's, it's interesting that it's's interesting that it doesn't really care about the ethics

behind a robot about not harming or what it can and can't do. Those rules exist in this world, but it's like, no, you can get around those. It's not really like, oh, what does it mean to be, what can a robot do that a person can't? It's just like, no, they're just like phones. People don't care. You can hack them. You can trick them. You know, you can have sex with them and whatever. Set them on fire. Set them on fire. It doesn't like, whatever. I think that's an interesting, yeah. It doesn't get caught up in that. And it's also like when one would go like off the rails, it's not a big deal. Like the police aren't, oh my god or whatever, it's not like a SWAT team is like,

oh my god, a robot has gone rogue. It's like, yeah. Just shut it down. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's get a new one, who cares? Yeah, a lot of fun references I think to other, you know. There's a very direct Terminator reference. Yeah, yeah, some references probably Westworld and.

Oh, Westworld, yeah. Yeah, one of your faves. Yeah, you never see like, I don't think you, you never see like a vision really do you? You do. Is there a moment? There is a, there are some rebooting moments. There's a moment where you see, there's a moment where you, um, uh, the, the, the, the user makes a love link. Oh, that's right. There is that. You're right. Yeah. Yeah. But it's not like ones and zeros and shit. Yeah. But anyway, there's also a plot. Yeah. We'll get to that in spoilers. There is that. You're right. Yeah, but it's not like ones and zeros and shit. No, no, no, no.

Yeah. But anyway, there's also a plot. We'll get to that in spoilers. We will. There is a plot. There is a reason this woman realizes she is in fact a companion and not a real person. That's right. Yeah. But yeah, goodbye. Jack Wade's great. He is.

He's delightful. The only other movie I've seen him in, he's in a rom-com with Maya Erskine called plus one I don't think I've seen and it's it's got a bit what what's interesting about it It's one of those movies where it's it's got the classic rom-com premise, which is two best friends and they're like, yeah Oh, let's we gonna we're gonna go to all these weddings together. We'll build you will be each other's plus ones or whatever Are they gonna fall in love but it's got a car. Yes but it's got like, it's got a good like an indie vibe. It's a client, it's like a classic rom-com premise, but you actually believe that it might happen to these real people. Okay. It's good. He's very convincing. I think he's good at this too. I mean, he does, he does have the charisma of both Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid. So true. It's got a lot going on. Often that

won't even get through. It won't filter in. They're all fucked up. Yeah, but he doesn't seem to have that Yeah, so I go on you're saying he's just good. He's good. He's good at he's good at slowly building like a like a like a Like an awful guy persona totally kind of like I mean and like starting out normal and then building like a boiling rage Or we see it on the boys or like a building anxiety or whatever. Yeah, we've seen it in like, he was in like Scream 2022 or whatever. He was in Oppenheimer. Oh yeah, that's right. Okay, I've seen him in other movies. And he was in Hunger Games, original Hunger Games. He was a young man.

So yeah. Younger Games. Yeah, Younger Games. I think also it's interesting how it deals with like, masculinity and femininity and being a man in the modern world but through like this different lens. But it's not so different than the way that people treat women or maybe react online. Turns out it is about some stuff. Yeah, it is. And I think it's, I think it handles that in a, yeah, it's not, it's not a far flung

future. It's like now, but there's robots. And a lot of the things that still exist now exist, except it's robots that you can take advantage of. There is a moment in the movie, quite early on in the movie, where it's before the reveal that she's a robot and where they've had a big night and they both get up and she's like, oh, we're going to go down the beach. And he's just like, not a big night.

You go, I don't care. Yeah. Kind of thing. And it's like, he seems like the guy who would do that even if totally wasn't a robot. I'm like, yeah, okay. He doesn't want to hang out. Like it's, yeah, exactly. Like, well, I know we had plans, but I don't care.

Yeah. Yeah. Do whatever. Yeah. So yeah, I think, uh, I had something else to say in the non-spoilers, but I don't know. Is it a big spoiler? No. Okay.

It's not a spoiler. It's a non-spoiler. Interesting. I was saying. I'm gonna say it's the best movie ever. A great best movie ever. A lot of fun. A lot of fun.

Fun little movie. Yep. Good. What do you think about that? No, I'm with you. Great. 100%. Terrific. Yeah. What was I gonna say? James you I'm gonna give you Unlimited time to think of it because that's what friendships all about but I am gonna stare at you

Yes, if time is of the essence, but it's not it's not just to be clear Yeah, and I'm gonna be tapping on my watch your foot is tapping too. Yeah, my foot's tapping Yeah, and you're chewing on that icy post. Yeah, and sometimes I'm Doing this this is helping Maybe we'll move it along. Okay, great. And you can keep doing that. Okay.

Alright, spoilers. Spoiler time. So basically, she commits a murder to what they think is a Russian gangster. And they're like, oh my god, this robot has killed this man. He's one of the guests. He's the he owns the cab. He owns the thing. He's a multimillionaire. They think he's a gangster or whatever. Turns out he's not also. And but it turns out robots

like they often are invented in these universes, they have a series of laws which they can't do they can't harm others or other robots or lie or whatever. But she had been hacked by Jack Wade to kill this man. So they just steal a bunch of his money, which he has in the house. They're going to make it look like she glitched and there was an accident. And then, you know, and then and it's all her fault. They didn't have anything to do with it. Yeah. And in the meantime, they're going to they're going to crack into his safe and steal a lot of money. But of course, she

figures it out and goes, goes, goes on the run. Yeah. They're going to track it down and kill her. I think what is also interesting about this idea of them, so it's him and his friend who decided to do it to try and get away with it. It's so obvious fairly early on that he was never going to get away with this. He didn't think it through because they programmed not to do it. And if this robot suddenly kills a person, and then they turn up and it's like memory is wiped or whatever

or the set like they're going to figure it out. Yeah, like they would have thought about this, because otherwise the company is liable. There's a moment where the technician show up. Yeah. And it's two technicians in a van and they go to collect the the body of the companion. And one of them's like, yeah, he definitely acted. He's got a jail. Yeah. And they don't even send like, again, the police, I mean, the police are in this, but they just send like, it's just a small cleanup, like tech support crew. They would see this a lot. People fuck around with their robots and then something happens. And then they're like, okay, no, I've seen this before. You know, it's like when people put their computers into a laptop

repair shop or whatever and it's like, there's a, you know, and people can see all your pornography. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Right. You, we're talking to you now. If you've just dropped off your laptop, get it back and you'll listen to this podcast, get it back quickly. They know. They absolutely know. But also they don't care unless it's like illegal. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, that's what I was going to say. I think what is really interesting, I've seen this online, like, and it's a lot of this on X. Most like, Oh, look AI girlfriend. Excuse me, what it's called? X. What is that? It's X now. It's Witte Mason. Whatever the fuck. Who cares? It sounds worse if I say X, you know what I mean? It's like yuck. No, that's anyway, but you do see posts of people being like, Oh, sorry ladies. It's almost over. There's AI girlfriends and AI and robots and we can have sex with robots. It's like, mate, they

don't care. Yeah. They don't want to fuck you anyway. This is good for them. Yeah. That's not, it's not a disadvantage to them that you could have sex with a robot. That means you're off the table. Yeah. That's good. Yeah. You're stuck at home now. That's right.

But yeah, so, so, um, Iris, the name of the robot, she escapes into the woods. She gets, uh, Jack Quaid's phone and she can tinker with her settings. She can tinker with her own settings. That's a lot of fun, which is what Tandy Newton does in Westworld. Oh yeah, that is true. Bumps up her intelligence and all of that. I think it's interesting where, because she doesn't know she's a robot until Jack Quaid tells her, and that changes the dynamic of how she reacts to things. I think becoming self-aware and then she's able to, you know, there were still limitations like she can't lie and she can't do harm and all of these kinds of things. But, oh no, she can do harm. There's whatever,

it changes throughout the movie. But like, there were still those limitations, but like the, you know, some of the safeties are off when they know what they are yeah right I thought that was an interesting angle on it as well there was a second twist in the movie of course that's true which is that Patrick yeah Lucas Gage also a robot very obviously a robot from when you first see him did I was surprised 100% oh yeah these dudes one of those dudes is a robot is that cuz you have a Lucas Gage sex robot yeah yeah that's what I thought have you seen it yeah sorry ladies I've got a Lucas gage sex robot I'm out I'm off the market but then they're like all right well we've got you know we've

got our own a robot of our own let's just you know use that increases aggression to 100% and send him out to yeah to kill Iris and there's a I think there was a there's a couple of great nods to Terminator 2 in this. He gets, you know, he kills an investigating cop and then puts on the uniform. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. And it just said, like what I thought was like added to the comedy of this, like every time another person was killed or they hacked another robot or an extra thing would happen or another person would like enter the story. It's just, you're going to not get away with this. It's just not going to happen.

You're not smart enough to kind of, you barely understand this technology. What did you think was going to happen this entire time? And I just, yeah, again, I know you talked about it, but the idea that the cleanup crew turn up and it just like, yeah, we know what this is. He's so smugly. At one point he's got a, you know, sitting at the dinner table and he's like, you know, here's the gun from the safe. Yeah.

Now put it to your head and shoot yourself. And I'll say, and then I'll say, oh, she shot herself. I don't know what happened. It must be a glitch. And then the technicians are like, well, they don't, the brain's not in the head. Yeah. That's not, why would we put it in?

That's just the wifi antenna. The brain's in the, in the stomach. Yeah. I'm gonna guess the only thing would be also like, if they thought that he was responsible for this, they wouldn't tell him that. No, sure. But maybe they did. Did they know about the murders at that point? Yes, they did.

Okay. Yeah, right. Okay. Well, then there you go. Well then this movie is full on its face. I completely agree. All in all, I liked it a lot. Me too. Yeah, check it out. Hope it does really well. Me too. Yeah, check it out. Hope it does really well. Me too. Looking forward to Weapons, which is the next Zach Kriger movie.

Whatever that is. And untitled Resident Evil reboot. Which we talked about last week. Do we want to talk about this? Here's some dirty laundry. Okay. Last week we talked about it and we mentioned that the movie rights to Resident Evil are owned by Constantine Films.

And then you mentioned to me that Constantine Films hit you with a copyright strike. Oh, they fucking did too. Yeah. So that's on... Because Constantine Films also own the rights to the unreleased 1994 Fantastic Four film, which we've done a video on. That's right. We did have this conversation.

So yeah, that video's from 2020. And nobody's looking at it now, like regardless. It's got 464,000 views. But yeah, I have a copyright strike on my channel related to this and I could name the guy who did it because you have to put your name in. And it's something like 90 days or whatever to, I don't know, to respond. So anyway, we hope this Resident Evil reboot dies on its ass is what we're saying I mean also the guy there doesn't look old enough to have been around. Oh, no

Yeah, we looked it up. So I think he's just I don't know Yeah, so basically the way it works with copyright strikes, they have to, because he struck my channel. And if he doesn't respond within, I think it's 30 days or whatever it is, it goes back to normal or he has to sue me directly. So I mean, this has happened to me before. So I can't imagine it would be worth their time to go after me, but maybe they will. But luckily, I was all there's a thousand reviews of this on YouTube. Yeah, that's true. Maybe it's because the Fantastic Four is becoming a, yeah, absolutely. They're like, but if anything, first of all, that 1994 Fantastic Four movie. Yeah.

It's not like they've never released it commercially. No. And I wonder if that plays into it at all. I have no idea. Yeah. And as you were saying, James, you know, after 30 days, Like they've never released it commercially. No, and I wonder if that plays into it at all. I have no idea. Honestly, I just don't know. And as you were saying, James, after 30 days, they get murdered. Yeah. Because there's consequences for people who do this. Oh, absolutely. Yeah, yeah.

For those who don't know, yeah, there's no repercussions. At all. People can strike channels for whatever reason. Yeah. And then if they're like, oh, that's not, that wasn't true. Nothing happens to them. They can just keep doing it for as long as they want. And there are companies that do this sometimes on behalf of other companies or they just do it.

And technically if you get three strikes, your channel gets removed. But, which happened to me before. Something else. But yeah, this is fun, something else. But that's right. Yeah. This is fun, isn't it? It's fun. Anyway, Mason. It's good. Should we talk about Nosferatu? Give that a bit of a rundown? That's right. I just quickly, this is Robert Eggers latest movie. It came out. The latest Robert Eggers joint. Yes, came out in December. A budget of $50 million. It's at the moment, it's about $167 million. Doing well. Doing well. Better than the Northman.

This is his best performance movie ever, I think. I think it was marketed well and it got good word of mouth. It was a known kind of thing. Oh, this is a Dracula. I guess they had trouble kind of selling the Northman, which I really enjoyed. They should have said it was Hamlet, but he's got abs. Ablet. Ablet. Ablet. Ablet. That's good.

Yeah, thank you. That's an Australian football reference. Thank you. I just came up with that. Yeah. I was here. Yeah, I know. So it's a reimagining sort of like the original Nosferatu.

I was going to say just before we get into that, Eggers has done, he did all the appearances and all the things, you know, breaking down a scene and, you know, he didn't do hot ones. He did the Snickers. Yeah, yeah. He did the, you know, he did the Criterion closet. He did the Konbini video club, which is the French version of the closet. Oh, video store. Is there actually, is it just French movies? Because I wouldn't do well in. No, it's every, it's every movie that exists.

I'd be like, Amelie. Yeah. I can't really name it. Derard de Perjure one. That's all that I know. Asterix, but not the derad. Oh, no, different one. Different one.

Yeah. And I don't know. Sometimes he gets flack for being like a pretentious video guy. I don't think he is. I don't think he is at all. I think he just likes movies and he's just like, I got to see all the movies. Yeah. Sometimes he'll mention, you know, an obscure French film or whatever it is. But it's just because he's like, I saw this and it was good. I wanted to see a new movie and I saw this movie, it was there and it was good.

Yeah. And he was like, I don't know if he saw it with a, he doesn't want to do a film, like a modern film with like a cell phone in it or whatever. He's just like, I have no interest in doing that. He seems like he likes crafting worlds, he said in other time periods, because he likes the minutiae and the detail and just getting a real feel for something which you see across all of his movies, all of which are good, all the ones I've seen.

I agree. I've seen them all and they're all good. I mentioned last week I saw The Witch for the first time, my least favorite. Still liked it. Still good. It's just kind of like that one feels like a short film that's kind of like expanded to feature length or at least it did to me. But I just, you know, very well done.

Yeah. You know, good good performance it's got Ralph Innocent he's all hello and he's now gonna be hello Galactus or whatever that's right big real Galactus big hat anyways Nosferatu though what do you think the story was come on mate like as you mentioned of course Nosferatu was the the original version from 1922 yeah was essentially a a cheap ripoff of the Dram Bram Stoker's Dracula. Yeah, and Stoker's estate sued the makers of it to get you know to Because it was a ripoff essentially. Yeah, or an homage

And and almost all can they ordered the the courts order all copies destroyed Yeah, and almost all of them were but then if you survived and so, you know, it nearly became lost media There was this one. There's the there was a virgin in 1979. I think yeah is shadow of the vampire Which is about the make the making of the original one with will and if I was in it But he's playing an actual vampire playing count Orlok the act is playing count or lock, but he's also a vampire Yeah, so yeah now he's in this now. He's in this he's playing Count Orlok. The actor is playing Count Orlok, but he's also a vampire. Yeah. And now he's in this. Now he's in this.

But he's not the Orlok. No. Anyway, so this is... If you've seen, I guess, classic Dracula, it is essentially that. If you've seen Bram Stoker's Horny Dracula, very similar. Very similar. Not as horny, but also by its nature, it's more streamlined. Yes.

Because I think the original was kind of, you know, because it was cheaper. It goes off that Bram Stoker's one or whatever. It goes off in a lot of different directions. Yes. Which it doesn't deal with. No, because essentially I think it was probably like we need, like we're making this, you know, less expensive version for a different audience. And so it're making this, you know, less expensive version for a different audience and so it's kind of, you know, we'll just get the meat of it and we'll cut out the rest.

You know when there's like shots of like the town and it's going over and things like that, is that like model work involved in this or is that CGI? Because I know he does a lot of a lot of it's practical. Okay, so he's one I looked up. So there's a moment in this so we've got this one you talked about last week or a different moment to be where he was at the castle. Oh, no, that's it. I mentioned that. So there's a moment in this. So we've got Is this the one you talked about last week or a different moment? The bit where he rides at the castle? Oh, no, that's it. I'll bring it up again. So this of course has it's got Nicholas Halt in the the Jonathan Harker role in

Which is actually originally gonna be Bill Skarsgård who plays Count Orlok Yeah, but in this is Thomas Hutter and he's the He's the lawyer who goes to count all he sent to count all locks estate in Transylvania to broker a real estate deal. Yes, because on the way there, he encounters a sort of Romani village village family and they were all like, come on, man, what are you doing? Come on, man. You're in a horror movie.

Yeah, you're in a Dracula movie. You know, there's a Dracula up there. Yeah. You know, all the Dracula rules and stuff. Yeah. Don't get involved with the Dracula. He's like, I haven't seen any movies because they don't exist yet. Yet. Yeah. So I'm going to go anyway. But anyway, there's a moment in where he's in a carriage, and he's feeling all out of sort like he's a horse drawn carriage, he's feeling all out of sorts. And he's like, oh, and then the camera moves. And he's just suddenly he's not in the carriage anymore

He's just he's he's out the front of the door of the car. Yeah, and I looked at that and I'm in the cinema I'm like that maybe went too fast move, but I'm pretty sure he was in like a carriage Yeah, like a pull apart carriage and they did it in camera and I looked up and that's that's exactly what they did Love that and that's and that I think is kind of a nod to Bram Stoker's Dracula where Capola's Nephew. Yeah that I think is kind of a nod to Bram Stoker's Dracula where Coppola's nephew? Roman Coppola or son or you know, he did all the effects in camera. There's one blue flame effect which is an optical effect but everything else is in camera. But yeah there is a moment where you see like Nosferatu's hand like the shadow going over a village and I can't imagine they would have been

able to do that without. They used a big balloon. For CGI. But it looked so, I'd imagine maybe even if they built the town, it's so expansive. I just think, I don't think that would, and that's not really something that he does, which I thought was interesting. Anyway, Thomas is sent, he leaves, his wife played by Lily Rosetep, Ellen. I thought when I heard she was replacing Anya Taylor-Joy, I'm like, oh, that's disappointing. But she's actually really good at this. Yeah, she's, you know, channeling various evil spirits and, you know, etc.

But he leaves her and he goes to Transylvania to broker this deal. And of course, Count Orlok, he wants to come to London and spread his evil. Give her a big kiss. Of course, because he's there. Is that a spoiler? I mean, that's the story of Dracula. Yeah, I guess it's true. Yeah. Yeah. Because he was a former love of sorts of her in the past. Or he was in her mind since she was very young and he's been grooming her from a distance. That's part of it. And also like in a lot of versions of Dracula and in the Bram Stoker's one,

like as he drinks people's blood and draws upon other people, he grows in power. And that does happen here, but he doesn't look better. He just looks like a fucking rotting corpse. He does get bigger. He does get bigger. Yeah. The entire time.

And you see his dick. You do. And Nickle Assault got to keep it. Yeah. Yeah, but it's still snatched it off him on the last day. But it's Bill Skarsgård as Orlok and he did all sorts of vocal exercises to change his voice into this. And in this he's also more of a, like,

he's not Dracula, of course, like the classic version of Dracula is sort of a... Exactly, and he's sort of, you know, very fluffed and very smooth and in the white tie and tails and all that sort of stuff. But in this he's sort of a, some kind of undead Slavic warlord of some kind. Apparently the original myths, I saw an interview with Robert Eggers, the original myth of Dracula

and when people believe that Dracula's were real, was that they were reanimated corpses. So there was this kind of rotting fucking thing that doesn't get better. And so that's what he kind of went with. He took it back to like folk legend essentially, yeah, uh-huh, mmm, and of course we'd around other cars we get Alan Aaron Taylor Johnson as Friedrich or Whatever that guy's name is Carrie Ellis's character. Yes, exactly. We get Willem Dafoe as the kind of Van Helsing character. Yes, that's a professor von Franz Yeah, get Emma Emma Corrin is Anna who is

Arentail Johnson's wife. What is Emma Corrin in? Emma Corrin was in Deadpool and Wolverine. Oh yeah! Professor X's sister. That's right. Stick a hand through her face. That's exactly right. That's Emma Corrin. That's right. And Ralph Innocent is he's back. But he's a doctor at a sanitarium. He's good isn't he? He's good. Everybody's great at this. People have said Aaron Taylor Johnson, not great. I think he's pretty good. He does alright. I think he does alright. Exactly. Yeah.

There is a part where he's like, good God, man. Mr. Bridgerton. Not Dracula's in here. Whatever. right. Whatever. But there was. There was often a Dracula. Sometimes he was a pile of rats and whatever. Yeah, absolutely. It was often there. Look, I thought this was really great. I thought it was suitably spooky.

There's a... Eggers has a thing where he does a slow pan forward and then a pan back. And sometimes there's a... Sometimes. Sometimes there's a jump scare and sometimes there isn't. Yeah. And you never know what it's going to be. And I'm like, that's very effective. And sometimes the jump scare is just a normal person to say, hey, how you doing?

Like you said, the Orlok makeup and the performance, tremendous. And the big mustache and the come over. And so much of him in shadow and just in candlelight and in darkness and it's a long time before you get a look at him, you know, which I thought was really effective. There's a moment where you first see him. Nicholas Holder arrives at the castle and you see him just in the distance past Port Colis or something like that.

And then he walks away and he's got no sound of foot. Oh, I didn't notice that. Okay, interesting. He's fleet of foot. Yeah. I also think what I liked about the Will and the Defoe's character, so he's this kind of burnout who believes in the supernatural and is kicked out of various groups in high society because he believes in group chats. Yeah, probably his group chats because he's like, he believes in the supernatural and maybe a lot of the stuff he believes in isn't real, but this is real. This is real.

So he knows what it is, but he's also like, I don't know. How do you kill this? I don't fucking know. Chop its head off? Yeah. I mean, that would work on most things, honestly. Yeah, like I've heard about stuff like this, but I don't know. Maybe there's a book.

If we can find a book, I think. Uh-huh. Yeah. At the library? At the library. There's a plague element to it as well, which I think is quite upsetting also in an era where a plague would just rip through a town or a city and kill half the people. And again, I don't think it's really a spoiler, again, as you mentioned, because it's a very, very old story. But it's not one of those ones where it's like, well, there's a plague, but if we defeat the villain, the plague will disappear and everybody will be

fine. Nah, everybody's just got the plague. We've got the plague now. Dracula bought it. He's been biting people. Because when he gets to London, yeah, it is London, isn't it? Or it's Germany. Or it's Germany or something. But he's not biting individual people, is he? It's just like what his, almost like his pestilence is. Twizzburg in Germany. There you go.

OK. It's just everybody's got an English accent. Exactly. That's what I thought. I'm like, is this London? Like, it's almost like, yeah, he brings this pestilence with him that he spreads through rats and biting people and person to person and whatever else.

Yeah. Yeah. Good. Best movie ever. I guess we've done some spoilers, but yeah, but again, it's Dracula. Yeah. Great costuming also. Tremendous. Good ending too. Wonderful, wonderful coat on Willem Dafoe. Good God, man. His coat has got all the capelets on it. Yeah. Oh, incredible. I like how everybody's much bigger than him as well. Yeah. It's true. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, Bill Skarsgard, he can, he does a lot of stuff, doesn't he? He's very good. I've also heard him in interviews subsequent to this and I don't know if his voice has come all the way back. I think he's a little bit stuck in it. Oh my God.

Yeah. Like the Elvis thing. Yeah, kind of. But I think more in the sense of- He damaged his voice. I think he might have damaged it a little bit. Yeah, maybe he did. That's commitment. Maybe he damaged his voice being the crow. Maybe.

Yeah. I hope not. You want to do it for a good movie. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Like Nosferatu. Or it's chapters one and two. That's right.

Pennywise spin-off TV series is coming out this year. All right. Should we move it along? Yes. Our best movie of all. Best movie of all. We got no spoilers? Is there any spoilers for this movie?

I think it's Dracula. It is Dracula. I think it's more like there wasn't a point in this where I was like, I knew what was happening. Yeah. No spoilers. Is there any spoilers for this movie? It's Dracula. It is Dracula. I think it's more like there wasn't a point in this where I was like, I knew what was happening. Yeah. I was like, oh, that's this part of the narrative and it pretty much plays out. Yeah.

As if you've seen any of these or read the book, it's fairly close. If you saw the last Voyage of the Demeter, which came out last year or the year before. Or if you saw Dracula and he's got an iPad, it's the first two episodes of that. So minus the iPad stuff. Pre-iPad Dracula. Horny Dracula, obviously. Yeah, big part. I think yeah, also if you like this, check out Last Voyage of the Demeter.

I think that was underseen and very well made. Yeah, again, we get a little bit of that here. But I think what that one hasn't come with this as well is that one. It's a it's a monstrous Dracula. It's not a handsome dude. Correct. Changing to sort of if you look at him in a distance, you're like, I think that's a man. That's like the extent of his abilities. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Cool. Yeah. Oh, but he is of course, undone. This is the one spoiler. Okay. Yeah. Oh, but he is of course undone. This is the one spoiler I okay. Yeah, right at the end he is undone because the you know, the the boys the lads Yeah, they're like we're gonna get it. We're gonna go his cast. We're gonna chop into a bit

So whatever kick him. We're gonna keep give him a big kick Willem Dafoe. Should we kick him? Yeah, yeah, that'll work Yeah, yeah the the scrolls say give him a big kick. Yeah, whatever But then actually it's it's actually Lily Rose Depp's character Ellen who's like now I'm gonna I'm gonna figure this I'm gonna go yes because he's been bothering me I get the power I'm gonna get him back mmm and then she's like come with me and do big kisses on me or whatever yeah and then in them then the morning comes and he's like I've got to go because the Sun line would just you know it's like no just stay for a bit he's he's like, all right.

And I'm like, that's relatable. I totally. Yeah. I get it. Who hasn't ruined their life, you know, to some degree or another and gone. You know, that's it. I saw that and I was like, I get it. Yeah.

And he stays and then he's destroyed. But he's like, yeah, yeah. Yeah. It was a big boy. The boys. Sorry dad but he's like, meh. That had a good ride. Yeah, it's alright. Boys are the boys. Sorry boys, couldn't make it out boys. Sorry boys, couldn't make it out to the big fight boys. I was with a kid, I was kissing a beautiful lady. Sorry. Sorry one. And all the boys are like, we get it. Yeah, yeah, that's right. Yeah. We get it. Yeah. Alright, should we move it along? Let's move it along. To what? What we're reading.

What we're going to read. Yeah. Yeah. I'm doing the thing. What are we reading today? Well. Well, well, well. This is the segment of the show where we're talking about all the things that we're watching

and reading and doing and listening to. Well, well, well. You thought you'd get away with it, didn't you, James? I did. Did I? Yeah. All right. You said you thought you'd get away with not telling us while you were reading or listening

to a watching series. Oh, I never assumed that. I know you're too much of a keen mind to slip that one past you. That's right. I know we've talked about it before, but I'm pretty much I think now up to date on Ultimate Spider-Man. Okay. Which has been 12 at least.

Is there a cliffhanger? Got a cliffhanger going on? Or maybe I'm not that far. I think I've got one missing. I'm from one short. So I've been, I didn't realize, but I've just been missing a bunch of these. You know what's great about it as well? I'm not up to date, but what's great about it is it's being released on schedule.

Yeah. It's not just a thing where it's like, oh yeah, no, there's going to be a three month delay. Yeah. There's no issues here. It's also like an interesting where it's like, oh yeah, no, there's going to be a three month delay. Yeah. It's also like an interesting re-imagining, just like an updating of a bunch of different characters. You know, it is the Ultimate Universe Spider-Man, but the original Ultimate Universe Spider-Man died as a teenager. That's true. And so for those who- He was only Spider-Man for a year, someone pointed out recently. That's fun.

Or maybe this guy's going to, maybe the same thing's going to happen to this Ultimate Spider-Man, I doubt it probably. But yeah, I like the idea because like he's now, he's in his like mid thirties, so he's got the spider powers like much later because the maker of course came into the Ultimate Universe and took away everybody's superpowers, etc. And so yeah, it's him and he's friends with Harry Osborne, who's a good-ish version of the Green Goblin and there's other superhero characters and supervillains dotted in and around. Uncle Ben is alive and he's running a independent newspaper with J. Jonah Jameson and their best friends. That's fun.

He's got like kids and I think maybe one of them might be at least a teenager. Yes. Yeah. And he's married to Mary Jane, which he's not in, currently not in the main regular universe. And he's just, this is a really good version of the character. And it also feels like what the original Spider-Man should have become. Yes, absolutely. Yeah.

If they didn't want to try and keep him in a constant adolescence. Yeah. No marriage. No. Yeah. No. And he still has his miserableness and his problems andcence. Yeah. No marriage. No. Yeah. No. And he still has these miserableness and his problems and whatever. They're kind of they've framed them differently. Yeah. Yeah. And you're saying that's good. And it's also good that Aunt May's dead. Yeah. And it's good that Aunt May's dead, which is a plot point, an ongoing plot point,

because she's remains dead. Yeah. Although Mr. Negative gets a bit more play in this, who's obviously was popular. You know, he's been around for a little bit, but that's spider-man video game the first one on PlayStation for For yes, and I like mr. Negative. So yeah, it's good. That's great. It's good and worth checking out I should I should keep I am ladders in it. Mm-hmm Among others, that's correct. Yes. Yeah, I have apparently also the Ultimates is good See, this is the only one I've read right any of them because I know they're doing x-men and a bunch of other stuff But yeah the Ultimates, huh? Well, the Ultimates is being written by Denise camp who also

Read a comic I've recommended to you, which is I believe is still sitting out there. It's called 20th century man It's about yeah, it's next to my bed? Maybe I don't know. Yeah. What you doing with it? Can I have it? No. I'm gonna read it. Get your own copy. I do. I've got one. Oh no! It's true. I didn't say keep your hands off my copy. You didn't say. I mean you are. Yeah, yeah, I'm definitely not touching it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cool, cool. Yeah, all right. That's great. I am gonna read that. Yeah. Because we're gonna do it on comic-book club at some point one day We will one day we will I watch the movie. We live in time. What was that like? It's fun. It's delightful Yeah, I got it. It's ultimately quite sad. Yeah, so it's it's it's James. It's it's a spider-man in a black widow You can even believe it. Yep. Do you think I've I've wondered about this this week. Do you think people?

Follow the actors from the MCU to other projects? No. I think it adds to their stardom. And I think Andrew Garfield's probably, and Florence Flores-P, they're both outside of the Marvel stuff, but they're, they're well known because they're good in interviews and they're relevant pop culture people. So I think that helps. I mean, it wouldn't hurt. They're serving looks. They certainly are. But isn't it a very touching story?

It is a very touching story. So it's about a couple, they meet, they fall in love, you know, trials and tribulations. They have a kid, you know, there's a slice of life, there's some medical issues, but it's sort of told out of life. Slice of life. There's some medical issues, but it's sort of told out of turn. You see a snippet and then you see years later and then you see, you know, somewhere in the middle and then it's, but it's all very, you know, it's all very easy to follow and it's... You weren't lost. You weren't like, what's happening? What's going on?

Where's the time machine? Yeah. Where was it? Where was the time machine? It's in the movie In Time. It's in a closet where you close your eyes. Close your eyes and you can do a time travel. And you're Dom & Gleeson. You are Dom & Gleeson. Good movie.

Yeah. It's a good Richard Curtis movie. Yeah. But anyway, I think they're delightful together. They are. Yeah. Well, I've seen them in interviews, but not this movie, which I will watch. We live in time.

Oh yeah. We're your bloody Reed 20th century men in the cinema while you're watching that movie. Do you think I should? Do they pair well? I think so, yeah. Interesting. Interesting. Alright, I will.

Great. Well, that was a great segment. Thank you. And you made me do it. I wasn't going to. I was trying to get out of it, but you got me. That's right. Do you want to move to the next segment of the show?

We could. Well, how will we do that? Well, we can't just be there. We have to do some kind of transition to bring us over the line. Well, the segment's called letters. Yeah. Is it called letters? Yep. Right. It is just called letters, isn't it?

I agree. Go on. It goes with the letters. That's like this. The classic one was the letters of letters. We love you some letters. They're only a day away. We're not here right now. We're going to do letters. James is in a classic prayer pose. It's true. He was praying for letters.

And now there is. Guess what? The good Lord has delivered. That's great. That's right. If you want to reach the show, you can send an email to weeklyplanetpod at gmail.com. Or we also have a Facebook group called the Planet Broadcasting Great Mates. That's right.

If you head into there, there's a thread that goes up every week where you can ask a question or send a letter or whatever it is that you want to do. Some of them will be read out, but most of them won't. That's right. Yeah. Some of them just lurk. Yep. They lurk in the Gmail.

But they're good. Here's an email from Robert. Hey fellas, huge fan of the show, podcast and videos and have been for a long time now. You both are incredibly entertaining. Yeah. And you're the main source of my need for my biggest interest now. Okay, if you say so. I don't believe you.

I don't believe you at all. This week in the pod, a wrestler reached out to you guys and Mace wondered if he's the only listener to have won a belt. This is incorrect. I've been a professional wrestler for a few years now and have won a few championships in my time. I go by the name Rob Ridley and I wrestle in the UK but have just moved into Melbourne.

I was thinking that all the wrestling listeners should compete for the weekly planet championship one. How do we do that? Oh, I'm looking up this Rob Ridley fella right now. Is he huge? Is he huge? Interesting. While looking at this picture, he's not as big as I am. But I am looking at a smaller screen. Yeah that's true. If you're looking

at on a screen the size of a man, you'd look at least as big as a man I think. That is true. But now he's sort of more the size of a postage. Yeah he's like the big at most. Yeah he's got a good wrestling look though. Tell you what. There's a picture of him and he's really big next to a smaller guy. Okay. But that smaller guy might be really, really small. Or really big. Yeah. Right?

I don't even know. If that guy, if the little guy is seven foot tall, he could be eight foot tall. Oh, he's holding so many belts in these. That's cool, man. Robert says, anyway, I like incorporating my interests into my moveset. Do you have any ideas for some comic book related names for wrestling moves such as the Killing Joke, Maximum Carnage, etc? The Death of Superman.

Nice, that's right. The Reign of the Superman. Superman vs. the Elite. Nice. Superman battles Doomsday, Batman vs. Superman. Wonder Woman's there. And then he dies. Yeah, nice.

What else? What about the weekly planet punch you in the nuts? But you actually punch them for real. You punch them for real in the nuts. And you go, I don't care if this is an illegal move. Those guys in that podcast told me to do it. And you hit them in the nuts. And it's real though. It's real.

It's real. Like, you know, some people will debate or some of the wrestling is real, some is, you know, for show business, etc, etc. You got to hit them really hard in the nuts for us. That's right. You know, and you maintain that belt, maybe even get an extra belt, extra belt, yeah, which you can put over your nuts because you better be sure that they're coming after your nuts if you do this.

Yeah, yeah, going to happen to you. That's one of the pitfalls of doing this classic wrestling move that we invented just now. your nuts because you better be sure that they're coming after your nuts if you do this. Yeah. Yeah. Going to happen to you. That's one of the pitfalls of doing this classic wrestling move that we invented just now. That's right. Yeah. The weekly planet hitch in the nuts. That's good.

Good wrestling. Good wrestling out there. Yeah, that's right. Going in from Sarah James from the great mates group Mason, who says with Mickey 17 coming soon and as a bookseller. Oh, books. I'm interested. Oh, books. Could that be a segment a bookseller. Ooh, books. Uh, I'm interested. Ooh, books.

Could that be a segment? Ooh, books. Ooh, books. Yeah. Okay. We can do that. I'm interested to hear if you fellas have any books you'd love to see get movie adaptations.

Um, yes. I, I like Roald Dahl books and I like some of the adaptations. They recently did the wonderful story of Henry Sugar. It was more kind of like a stage play and it's like almost like a retelling. He's better than Cumberbatch. He is, yeah. And it's good. But I was also like, that's my favorite story and I would have liked to have seen a more traditional kind of narrative of this. But that being said, I still enjoyed it. But one of my favorite books of his also, which I read with my son recently, is Danny the Champion of the World. Like him and his dad live in a caravan and they work in a mechanic shop and his dad is also,

they poach his pheasants. Okay. That's like, it's not like a fantastical one. And within the story, the dad invents, I guess if you're talking like universes, he invents like the BFG and tells the story to like his son and all of that. But it's really, it's a real world thing, set in like the, say like the 40s or 50s. Yeah, maybe a bit later. There was an adaptation with what's his name? He was it was Ben Affleck's Alfred. Jeremy Irons. But I would like to see like an update of that. I think it's just a

wonderful story. And that would be cool. Yeah. Some other ones. If you were doing more sci fi comic book stuff. And we are. Here we are. Blake Crouch does a bunch of sci-fi books. Recently, they did Dark Matter on Apple+, which is a great series. Joel Edgerton's in it, Jennifer Connolly,

the guy who plays one of the McCoyles is in it. Jeremy Irons. No, and he's also in Westworld. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, and that's great, but there's also another book that I read called, which I think I've talked about before, called Recursion, which is about time travel and altered dimensions and all of that, and it's very good. And so that would be a good adaptation, I think.

Sounds delightful. It is! You got any thoughts of a book that you'd see adapted? The Bible? Yeah, into what? No Gibson already did that. He nailed it. Yeah, sure he did. Didn't he?

We loved him for it. That's actually great. And he's normal. Yeah. Books you say? Mm hmm. I've never read a book. What if you did?

That'd be the Bible. What if you didn't? It'd still be the Bible. It'd still be the Bible. You'd be drawn to it. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. I'll come back to you next week.

All right, please do. Cool. Books. What else you got? Here's an email. Good luck selling books, Sarah James, by the way. Yeah, that's right. This is from Christie.

I am also a pro wrestler. What? Hi, James and Maiso. I'm a 21 year old pro wrestler and musician from Liverpool. Huge fan of the podcast. I was listening to your most recent podcast on a wrestler from New York email. Didn't you guys pose the question? Is he our only listener?

What about? No. I'm also on a belt in wrestling pictured below. How do I find this Christie? Where is he? Great question. I'm googling these as we go. Well, his full name is Christie Quinlan, I think, but I don't know what his wrestling

name is. Maybe it's a big Christie. Maybe it's some. Oh, yeah. No, I'm saying this. Okay. it's a big Christie. Maybe it's some. Oh yeah, no, I'm saying this. Okay. I think I found Christie. Oh yeah, found Christie. You've found the pod currently doing a full listen from the start. This guy's also a wrestler. I would like to challenge Mike DeTello, that's Mike from last week, to a match for the title of weekly planet heavyweight champion when it gets to be the official pro wrestler of the pod. I guess we should have to, we should figure that out somehow. I mean, they can figure it out.

Could they wrestle over Zoom? All of these guys here? Oh, Zoom wrestled. Zoom wrestled. Or in Marvel Rivals. He's also holding a belt, Mason. What if they wrestled with some sort of online wrestling game? You know?

Yeah. Yeah. Or an online wrestling game? Where you're wrestling and hassling. Where you're wrestling and hassling. Yeah, I think that's all good. That's a good idea. Yeah.

God, there's some crazy moves these wrestlers are pulling. I think you should all follow each other on Instagram. I think you have to do it. Yeah, I think you have to do it. Yeah. That's so true. Goddamn. Yeah.

Now we had at least three wrestlers who had one wrestling belt. We probably have some that are working their way up to a belt. So that's good too. Oh, that's true. Yeah. Good day for belt manufacturers, isn't it? I should see some wrestling. And by that I mean, I know there's like big wrestling, like professional.

I mean, There's local wrestling. That's what I mean. I should do that because it's fun, right? And it's really entertaining and like athletic. I should do that. Well, I mean, Robert said he just moved to Melbourne. So maybe he's going to do some wrestling in Melbourne.

Maybe on the toilet. Yeah, I was going to do some rest calling in Melbourne. Maybe. On the toilet? Yeah, I was going to say on the steps of Flinders Street Station. Yeah, sure. But also the toilets of Flinders Street Station. I think that's good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

I've got another letter here, Mason. Go on. Aaron Summers said, will there be more stunts in the next two Caravan of Garbage videos? So people may have seen. Okay. And I don't like to talk about this, but I was very sure that I could climb a flagpole. Which was actually a... It was a footy goalpost.

Yeah, well a behind post. Which is about the same standard height, which I just want to point out. Anyways, if you've seen that video, not to spoil it, I didn't. No. And it was... You were so close to the top I wasn't though. That's a joke. I said that is the joke and anyway, I feel like did we manufacture the job? No, I really thought I could do it till I was standing under it then I'm like, I don't think I can do this But yes, I'm thinking I am gonna try this again. It probably won't go in this week's video

But it'll probably gonna mention and then but it might be in Captain America Civil War if I can, if we can get together and do it. I would love to give that another go if Mason would only let me. That's true. And he'll do it too. I've had a few tips and tricks and also people sending me footage of them climbing up. My brother did it. So you know and he's older than me. I mean your brother said he did it. My brother did it. So, you know, and he's older than me. I mean, your brother said he did it. No, I saw a pic. Did I show you a picture? Yeah, I haven't seen the picture, but bearing this in mind, James,

he has access, James, you know this. He has access to like long ladders and like devices that could simply place him at the top. Yeah, I know, but somebody could just place him at the top. That's a good point. You know, and then they just take the photo and it's like, oh, I did it. Did you do it? Can you believe he did this to me as well? Yeah.

Yeah. He said he didn't want to go any higher. He fell out because he was worried the pole would bend. Come on, man. Coward. Yeah. I would have gone to the top. Yeah.

If I could, which I couldn't. You would have gone above the top. Yeah. You would have started flying. I'd still be climbing. That's right. Flying. To heaven. That's right. Here's an email from Georgia. Georgia? It says old school pranks for old school boys. Oh, here we go. Because we talked about pranks last week. We were talking about pranks. Yeah. Morning gang, one time I short sheeted my little brother's bed and he cried so much that I got in big trouble with our parents. So don't knock short

sheeting until you've tried. Also now he's like 6'3", so the joke's on him because he can barely fit in a bed. Another prank I did when I was younger was inspired by the hit TV show, Prank Patrol, where I filled my parents' welly boots with ketchup. Unfortunately, no one put their foot in the ketchup because you could see and also smell the fact that your shoe was full of ketchup. I had to hose them all out before school and then was banned from eating ketchup for a month. What's a prank that you've done that actually worked?

And or what's the most egregious example of a sibling relationship in media that was obviously written by an only child? Oh, okay. Yeah, that's very good. I mean, when I was a kid- We've done some pranks we will not disclose. Yeah, absolutely. Some are ongoing and have been for 15 years. Yeah. But yeah, I do things and I forget. I used to do this thing when I was a teacher, where like I'd go into the staff room and someone have like a bowl of pasta or soup and they'd look away. And you'd be pissing it. And if it was a soup, I'd swap it for a fork. Oh, I see.

Oh, and then they'd get up to get a fork and a spoon and when they do that I put this back in And then not tell anybody right? It's just for me. Yeah, just watch this happen. I just say they could Yeah, like bewilderment I think is better than oh you got pranked Yeah, I mean, yeah Yeah I mean once there was somebody who I worked with who this is, these are nothing. We're like they were going to the bathroom and they left a cold glass of water just outside and they were going to get it on the way back.

And so I went and I filled it up with hot water and I just put it back. Nice. Is that anything? Didn't see the result. But. Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter to me. Doesn't matter.

I mean, sure, they might have been definitely allergic to hot water. Yeah. Sure, maybe. Maybe they're dead now. Yeah. You know? I used to do one of the things I used to do, I used to volunteer this before I was a teacher and I'd go away with kids on camps or whatever on the holidays. Yeah, yeah.

You know, and you do activities and games or whatever. I remember there was one time there was a guy there and I just didn't really like him. So I just hid his mattress. I just took it and I just hid it and he had to sleep on like a wire frame. Interesting. And I was also like, why don he had to sleep on like a wire frame. Interesting. And I was also like, why don't you just sleep on the floor? Whatever.

But I was like, I also didn't know him. It's more about him than it is about you. Yeah, I didn't even know him that well. So he didn't even come to me and be like, why did you do that? Because like, why would he think that I would do that? Yeah, what kind of psychopath would do that? And anyway, in the last hour, I put it back. Okay, right.

I was going to ask where is the mattress now, but it in the last hour put it back. Okay, I was gonna ask where is the mattress now? But it's back. I put it back. And so yeah, he would have also he could have got a mattress from another room I just thought it was like the way he handled it was just like a very odd. Are you doing man? Yeah Yeah, really shows how much of a problem solver someone is I've also done more complex things, but I can't think of any off the top My what are you doing? What are you up to? Yeah things but I can't think of any off the top of my head. What are you doing? What are you up to? A lot of mine are actual crimes. Yeah. I can't talk about them.

Yeah? I don't know. I've never been a prank guy. Yeah. Those are all fun though. One time I, this is a nicer prank when I was a teacher also. I had this, like an ongoing class competition was called fish points. And if we got enough points, fish points, then we'd get fish. Okay.

And so I timed it out so that we'd get enough fish points at the end of this certain week at the end of the day. And I went, now it's you owe us a fish. And I opened the cupboard and there was a fishbowl in there with a fish and went here you go. Nice. And they're like, Oh my god. Or he's just like, Oh my god. Because they're in their 20s. Yeah. Yeah.

I'm like, he's been in there for like six months. Just in the dark, which wasn't true. One time they were like, we demand a Christmas tree fire room. So I got the shittiest, smallest Christmas tree you could possibly imagine. I was like, there you go. I don't think I was a bad teacher actually. Maybe. Yeah.

I don't know. These are all really sad. No, they're fine. And they're like, again, I think they're a better prank. It's a better class. I think somebody or exactly, you know, embarrassing somebody's like prank compilation is just buying a drink at McDonald's and throw it in their face or whatever. That's actually not cool.

That's not good at all. Yeah. Sometimes you'll see that and then like the person working behind the drive through the McDonald's would come out with a hammer or something and I'm like, yeah, good. That's a prank. That's a prank. All right.

And then just smash the guys with it. You get pranked. Yeah. You get your head pranked in. That's right. Yeah. My goodness. My goodness indeed.

All right. Anything else? What else you got? What do you got? Oh, I do. Yeah. Kai Bastos says, my friend and huge fan of the pod Victoria had a baby this week called Luna.

She would be delighted if you would wish Luna to the world. Welcome from, sorry, sorry. Welcome to the world from Tio Kai, Tia Nika, and Tios James and Mesa. You're welcome, that is awesome. Very welcome. Welcome to the world. That's right.

It's not right. We're not gonna play this year. 21st? Yeah, you should. Yeah, that's right. I've been like, hey, it's two guys. Two guys. Two long dead guys. Yeah, you might know us from where we got cancelled and we died. These aren't even our regular voices.

I don't know why we're doing these ones for... Because it's fun to do a voice sometimes. Fun to do a voice sometimes. Maybe this is what got us cancelled, doing these voices. That's probably true, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's cool! Well, just because we're doing voices of the guys we were at the high school with.

Is that why James? I think that's why. That is why. God, that's good fun, isn't it? That is good fun. I got one more email. All right. A question about the little things in life.

This is from Lenit. Lenit. Hi, Lenit. Lenit, go. Hi, James Mason, dog. Yep. Dog. My name is Lenit.

I've been listening since 2015. I recently got diagnosed with muscular dystrophy type one. I want to thank you guys for making my endless trips to the hospital much more bearable. That straight up sucks. I'm sorry to hear that. That's true. My diagnosis gave me a new perspective on life. For instance, I started to appreciate the little things in life more.

Yeah. So my question is, what are some little things you guys get joy from? Well, good question. I think that's an important thing. I think that's very important. Totally. It's like the idea of like, oh's an important thing. I think that's very important. Totally. It's like the idea of like, oh, a huge thing, you know, oh my God. A huge thing will fix all of my emotions.

Exactly. And problems and other things. And otherwise. Doesn't happen all the time. No. You know what I mean? Sometimes. Can't graduate from high school every year.

No. Unless, unless you graduate from high school and then it turns out your results were fake and then like you have to go back to high school. And those are fake. But I'm in my 40s and they're like, yeah, but still there's some zany stuff will happen, but then you just have to go back to high school. It's boring. And then it's fake again.

Fake again. I get bumped back to high school, you know, but it's high school for liars. Yeah. Fakers and liars. But that wouldn't be real either that one, would it? No, that was a prank. I got pranked. No, that's right. Yeah. Cool. Um, I, yeah, I got some things. I've recently started drinking coffee. So good coffee. I mean, incredible. Look on the, I was avoiding it because I'm like, I know if I start drinking this, it

all fuck up my life and it hasn't. Yeah. That's terrific. Oh my God. A cup of coffee in the morning. The best. Ah, it doesn't even have to be to be good. Yeah. What are you drinking a coffee from? Local cafe? You got a pods machine? Oh, you're going to get one. I got a pods machine and I got a full espresso set up, but it needs a service. The motors... I've just got a plunger to go recently as a gift and it's been delightful.

So yeah. I also like playing games with kids. We're playing a game in the moment called out Fox Which is a board game where you got to catch a fox and your little detective chickens I'm gonna catch him and it's a curl. It's a cooperative game and you lose like clues on the board to fun It's really cool. So it's not like let's destroy each other with monopoly. Yeah, let's get this Fox Nice. I love a people watching the city. Sometimes I go in the city. Yeah, OK. And I'll get that coffee. What are you doing? Is that what you said to them? Yeah, you're wearing a wig too.

I'm watching you. Why are you dressed like that? What's going on? Yeah. You at work? Yeah. Is this your job? Yeah.

Standing near me. You know what it is? You followed me? I'm not paying for this. That's right. Yeah, you do that? I do that, yeah. I don't really have any.

I'm not really a people watcher. Interesting. I love it. Would you say you're a student of human being? No, I'd say I'm a pervert. I'd agree with that. You know what I also like? What's that?

It's not underrated. It's just great. Like getting really good sleep and functioning well. Oh my god. Isn't that the best? Yes. Your day is just so much better with a good or a couple good nights of sleep. And even like one kind of okay night sleep, which I had last night, did the thing where I woke up at three in the morning and then you're like, well, I'm awake for two hours. But yeah, it's just like,

I think every, I think every minute of sleep you get before midnight counts as double. That's probably true. Go to bed at 11 o'clock, that counts as two hours. I agree with you on that. I'm trying to hit it at 10.30. It's now 10.37. We've got another thing to record after this. Which we might not do. That's true.

We might not. We might do it later in the week. So yeah. And I guess also, I don't know. Yeah. I'm trying to appreciate people more, even though, you know, you know. I mean, hasn't that what, isn't what this podcast in fact this very episode is about? It's true.

Friendship. Friendship. People. The friendship between Count Orlok and that guy he tried to kill a bunch of times. His mate. And Aaron Taylor Johnson, he got the plague. He got the plague. You know?

That's crazy. The boys, you know? Yeah, the boys getting together to kill the Dracula. Oh my god, have you seen this picture of the boys from this TV show? No Do I just do anything? No, you don't need to do nothing. Thank God Here it is. Is the lads is the lads from?

Congratulations Kurt Russell. And Quentin Tarantino. Who this week was like, oh actually something something my 10th movie blah blah blah. What's he saying? I think it was something like he's going to write a play and then he's going to adapt

the play. Which sounds to me like he's trying to figure out ways to get around this tense movie thing. Just make another movie. Just make another movie and then make a movie after that. Just say they're all one big movie. Say they're all one big movie. Yeah. Perfect. Yep.

So he's only done one. Yes. Say all your previous movies were just part of one big movie and then you've got nine movies left. Yeah. Good luck making nine more movies before you die. But each one of those movies has 10 movies within them. Nice.

He's got 90 more movies left. No, but good. Yeah, good. That'd be good. He would do a good job on that. Nice. Yeah. Those are the reviews.
