Welcome back everybody to another episode of The Weekly Planet where we talk movies

and comics and TV shows. My name is James, also known as Mr. Sunday and with me as always is a very limber Nick Mason. I'm stretching. You're supposed to stretch before we start. No, I stretch during. It's unprofessional. You stretch on company time, you don't stretch on your own time. That's a good point.

Yeah. Also, thank you for pointing out this was an episode of The Weekly Planet, not an EpiPen of The Weekly Planet. Well, those are coming out, by the way. Yeah, absolutely. If you're currently having some sort of heart-based issue, just wait. Yeah. Don't use your regular EpiPen.

If you're experiencing an allergic reaction. Don't use your own EpiPen. Wait for the branded EpiPen. Give it a minute. Yeah. It's got rose gold accents, so you know it's good. Yeah, yeah. And we don't know they work.

But you know. But you'll know. You'll know. When you try it, you'll know. That's right. Mason, it's a huge week for the biggest movie of the year, probably. Or one of. What does that mean?

A Minecraft time. Oh, that is coming out. Yes, we did watch that. Yep. We're also going to watch Nova Cane, but we ran out of time. That's right. So maybe next week. Also, there's so many trailers and stuff this week as well. Yeah, it's because the cinema con happened, etc

I mean we could talk about stuff from cinema con, but it's just people being like I saw this footage Well, I didn't see it. So I'm happy for you. Yeah, you're lucky duck. Yeah good on you right place right time. Exactly Mr. Coincidental viewing of a big movie trailer. Yeah, shut up. Yeah, shut up grow up grow up viewing of a big movie trailer. Yeah shut up. Yeah shut up. Grow up. Grow up. But there's time codes below because Collings who edits this he makes sure that people can jump to whatever section they want. We're gonna talk about Spider-Man 4's new title and what that could mean. We're talking about a new Cliff Booth movie. Potentially. Based on Brad Pitt's character. Might be a done deal, might be a big fake lie. Exactly. Yeah it did come out on

April Fools but it seems like... Oh yeah, how are we enjoying April Fools, folks? We're loving it. I got tricked so many times. Did you? No, I forgot. And by the time I think it gets to me, people are like, look at this fake thing. So, you know, I'm not on Twitter just waiting for... Yeah, also we've hit sort of absolute saturation of fake things, especially in the last year. It's like you showed me a picture. It's like, this is a photo of the stars of the matrix goofing off or whatever. Yeah. I'm like, well, we get that a hundred times a day.

Yeah. So it's when a company's like, we've actually released a left-handed sandwich or whatever. You're like, go to hell. Yeah. Just die. Kill yourself. Yeah. Just a company though, not a person. That's right. Just to be. Just die. Kill yourself. Yeah. Just accompany though, not a person.

That's right. Just to be clear. Yeah. We're also going to talk about Kody versus Acme is actually getting a release date. It's Bacme. It's Bacme, baby. You should get that treated though if you do have that. And then Cinemacon mentioned a lot of stuff we haven't seen, but there was stuff that

was released including a trailer for Karate Kid Legends. There's a trailer for Fountain of Youth, which is a real movie. The naked gun, the two gun, the sequel to them three guns. Right. There's a soup. There's a five minute Superman preview. Now you, I mean, we're going to get into this, but did you, you watched it presumably it's on some it's on YouTube. Yeah.

Yeah. I'm like, I don't know if you were like, I'm going to save this. No, I had to watch it. Yeah. I had to, I have to know. I said, sure. Right. Yeah.

And Tron Aries. Yeah. But also boo. Yeah. Lots of of yeas one particular big boo yeah it's a pretty big boo and then we're gonna talk about an investigation and demonetization of some AI generated fake movie trailers channels on YouTube and I just think it's it's an interesting yeah I don't know, something. Where's this going to go? Who's going to win? The good guys? No, there aren't any. No, yeah. It's all villains. Top to bottom. That's right.

Yeah. Let's start with this though. Very sad news. Val Kilmer has passed away at age 65. He's too young. I agree. His daughter, Mercedes Kilmer, confirmed that he died due to complications from pneumonia. Now, yeah, he has been sick. I know he recovered from cancer a few years back. That's right. He made very few on-screen appearances, probably most famously and recently was Top Gun Maverick. Top Gun Maverick, that's right.

Yeah, there was the documentary Val, which I haven't seen, but that's just him kind of filming things over the course of his career. So if you're a fan, I think I might check that out this week, actually, worth looking into. But yeah, I mean, so many incredible roles. Yeah. We mentioned Off Air, I think recently his debut feature film was The Top Secret, which is the Zucker Brothers sort of parody of spy movies and action movies from that era. And there's so much he has to do in that movie. Like there's, he has to sing, he has to dance. There's a sequence that runs backwards where he has to throw a bunch of stuff, but actually he's catching a bunch of stuff and then they throw it, then they run it backwards.

Yeah. There's a fight sequence that ends up going off a bridge and then going underwater. And then he ends up in a bar underwater and he has to be in a bar brawl underwater. So there's people like, you know, fighting with chairs and smashing bottles over everybody's heads underwater. Like the amount of stuff he had to do in that. Absolutely wild. A real triple threat. Speaking of he was in the doors, he was Jim Morrison. Heat, obviously, famously. This is in no particular order. Top Guns. I was going to say Heat.

Yeah. Famously, the sequence. Ponytail. He's got a ponytail. But famously, the sequence where he's on the city streets and he's firing his M16 situation and he does a quick tactical reload, they show that in training. They say don't do it. Is that what they're saying?

That's what they say. Val Kilmer got it wrong. No, they say they show it in like military training sessions to show like this is the perfect way to do that. Did he invent that? I don't think he invented it, but I think he was just like he did it. Perfectly. He did it super clean. I got to watch Heat again.

Yeah. Because I think we have a similar opinion. We weren't blown away by it. At the time, no. But I think we're wrong. Well, I also I think when we watched it which would have been shortly after it came out on home video we were not of the age where we're actually interested in any any of the drama of it yeah we were just like boring boring boring get to the shooting yeah shootings okay yeah kind of thing exactly yeah and of course one of my favorite roles he's gay Perry in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

Yes. The co-starring with Robert Downey Jr. He's a private detective. They go on a buddy action thriller who done it kind of situation. Really funny. Yeah. Really good. And what's another one?

I've been Tombstone. Tombstone, of course. Yeah. Yeah. Waystock Holiday. Yep. He was Batman. He was Batman, that's true. For a time. Yeah.

As Batman Forever. I like this movie as it is well, I don't know, but I've always enjoyed the Ghost in the Darkness, which is him and Michael Douglas and there's two killer lions in Africa that they got to take down. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. The Bwana Devils. Yeah. Also, he is of course, Dieter von Künthe in MacGruber.

Yes. Good work. What a MacGruber. Yes. Good work. What a run I think. I mean presumably also some duds but who has a man? Yeah a lot of duds. He did after the Saint. Yeah he did and after the 2000s he did a lot of like director DVD stuff. He's good in a David Mamet film called Spartan but that movie itself is nonsense.

Okay right. Yeah I mean yeah he never, I wouldn't say he's ever turned, also I was going to say he never turned a bad performance. His Australian accent is good I remember him doing one in well in the Saints. Yeah, I mean like damn that's pretty goddamn solid Yeah, he too is happening by the way. Michael Mann's doing it. They've recast like everybody in the book Oh, yeah, it might be Austin butline is wrong. Yeah. So yeah heat to let's go. Anyways, yeah 65 that sucks Yeah, another person Tom Cruise has sucked the life out of.

Oh dear. No, that's not true. You don't know for sure that it's not true. No, it's true. But I'm saying it as a joke. But I don't know whether it's true. That's true, yeah. It's a joke, but it's got a dark undercurrent of potential truth to it.

Exactly. But yeah, what a legacy. Like, incredible and just varied roles. What a karate kid legacy. Yeah Yeah, what a Tron legacy. That's right. What a top gun Maverick legacy. That's right. Also Willow Of course, I was in Willow. It's hard again. I haven't seen Willow. It's alright. Okay, great It's alright Mason. Okay, my favorite but he's good at it. Okay. Yeah, should I watch Willow TV series? Yeah, you know what? I'm the only person but yeah, I do like the willow TV question

I can't say anymore because I go. Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah. Sorry. Sorry about that. Sorry for saying that. It's okay. Yeah Yeah, so yeah, there you go sucks. It sucks It's something that doesn't suck Mason big news spider-man 4 which is the Tom Holland spider-man 4 is getting as a brand new title Oh speaking of its spider-man brand new title. Uh oh. Speaking of it's Spider-Man brand new day. Okay. Release date confirmed. I think we already knew this for July 31st, 2026, which means it's in between Avengers movies.

Right, okay. But people are concerned. Do you know why? Is it because brand new day, the title they're using is also the title of a Spider-Man comic book story and it's the one where, is it the one where he... The devil makes him get divorced. Yeah, because Aunt May is dying and so he makes a deal with Mephisto to say, what do you want to make Aunt May better and he's like, your marriage and so everybody...

Yeah, so they get one more day together. The one you're talking about is Spider-Man one more day. It's one more day, okay. But what people are thinking is if the last one was the home trilogy, this could be the day trilogy. Oh, I get it. So this could lead to- I'm not overly concerned.

No. Except it's a stupid naming convention and nobody remembers which movie is which. Exactly. And the other thing about that is, is Spider-Man movies and movies in general, they're often named but they're not direct adaptations. They already did- Spider-Man and Mary Jane don't remember each other. They did.

They did that in the last fucking movie. Well, they're going to hand wave it in the first five minutes of this movie, so don't remember each other. They did that in the last fucking movie. Well they're gonna hand wave it in the first five minutes of this movie so don't worry about it. So yeah I would say this is almost certainly the start of a new Spider-Man trilogy and I think this will lead into Miles Morales and then that will kind of be it kind of going forward. I think Tom Holland will weave in and out of the MCU for as long as it's alive. Or as long as he wants to do it. Yeah yeah yeah but I mean six movies is probably enough to plus Avengers movies Yeah, civil war that'll result in what a couple of decades of yeah doing this this when he wants to get into uncharted sequels I'm gonna get uncharted 2 didn't we talk about uncharted isn't that coming up soon?

We do on caravan coming up in a couple of Yeah, it's bad movie it's got awful people in it. Yeah. Yeah. It's not good. No. Spider-Man. There you go.

This is, I believe it's Destin Daniel Cretton who did Chong-Chi. Oh, okay. That was pretty good. That's decent action sequence. Oh, no, sorry. There is, sorry. Brand New Day is a comic book storyline from, also from 2008. So yeah, it's, and it's the aftermath of the status quo altering one more day.

We'll see, there we go. Okay. They are all... Well, they'll be like a lot of these adaptations, they'll be adapting it. They'll use the name, they'll use a couple of loose concepts and then it'll be its own thing. Yep, absolutely. Just checking, I'm just confirming the director on this because I'm pretty confident.

Yeah, it is. It's Nathaniel Cretton. Good. I like that choice. It's a good choice. Mason. Go on. This is via the playlist and they say this. There's a Cliff Booth movie in the works. Okay. So for people who don't know, you probably do, but Quentin Tarantino's last movie was once at the Paul and Tana, well, at the Paul and Tana Hollywood. It was his most recent movie. It's not going to be his last movie.

No. He's got one movie in the chamber, as it were. Yeah, so he kind of, and this is sort of that. Deep in the bowels of Quentin Tarantino is one more movie. That's right. Will it be good, will it be bad? Or is he too chicken to ever make one? Well, he did say this week that he wants to wait

till his son's a little older so he can bring him to the film set. So he's not in a rush. He wants him to have those memories of being there. Of his dad shouting at everybody. His dad, well, he doesn't do that, Mason. Okay. You know, he doesn't do that.

He's like, read my great dialogue. And they do. That's true. And everyone does a good job and they're generally good movies, Mason. Okay. He doesn't do that. He's like, read my great dialogue. And they do. That's true. And everyone does a good job. And they're genuinely good movies, Mason. That's so true. So yeah, anyway, Cliff Booth is a character from his last movie, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

It also starred Leonardo DiCaprio. Brad Pitt played Cliff Booth, a man who killed his wife. Are there parallels to that in real life? Yeah, well, you know, sometimes life imitates art just a little bit, you know? That's very true, isn't it. Yeah. Well, you know, sometimes life imitates art just a little bit, you know? That's very true, isn't it? Yeah. But apparently Netflix has signed on to produce the sequel and David Fincher will direct. Allegedly.

Allegedly. Supposedly and allegedly. Yeah. This could be one of those things that falls apart in the way that like Quentin Tarantino was going to do a Star Trek movie. Yes. And whatever. But I don't know. I think, I think there's a very good chance this will happen. The play, the playlist also notes that the script for the film actually comes from Tarantino,

and it's tied into the movie critic. So that was the movie he was going to make. And then he wasn't happy with it. And that was rumored to also involve Cliff Booth. But that changed and maybe it did become this. We don't know. So that's kind of and there's rumors that DiCaprio might come back and maybe Margot Robbie could

return as Sharon Tate or whatever so and I guess that would mean it would be set in the further adventures of Sharon Tate yeah that's right who's alive in this universe yeah all right so uh yeah I mean cool let's you know good names attached some of them allegedly if they in fact are yeah yeah so you have it All right. So yeah, I mean, cool. Let's, you know, good names attached. Some of them. Allegedly, if they in fact are. Yeah. So there you go.

But that looks like it's, I mean, because Fincher does Netflix stuff and this is going to be a Netflix, Netflix collaboration. But hopefully it does get a cinematic release. For a week. Yeah. I really liked Fincher's last one. Was it The Killer? Yeah, I really liked The Killer.

Killer was good. Yeah. There you go. Speaking of movies Mason, and we always are. Sometimes we talk about TV shows. Yeah, congratulations. Sometimes video games. Switch 2 is coming out. It is.

What do you think? Oh wait, let's talk about that. I don't know. Yeah? You going to get one? $700 bucks, whatever it will be here. I only just got to switch one because you bought one for me for my birthday like several years ago.

I was going to say, that was a while ago now. I played like four games on it. You're welcome, by the way. They're pretty good. They're pretty good games. You're welcome. That was a lend actually. Oh was it? Yeah.

Okay. I was looking forward to getting that back. Okay. You've already got a Switch. Yeah, but what if I had two? Or the Switch 2? You know what? You can just buy me the Switch 2 and we'll call it even Steven Seagal.

Okay, great. That sounds really good. There's a new FromSoftware game that is out there that looks really good. I've forgotten the name of it already. The Down Man. Dark Time. The Doomed Tomb. of a Rudy. Yeah the down dark time Get a big sword There's a big weird ghoul

Stomping around somebody turns into a weird dinosaur in that trailer now that's movies That's right or video games in this case actually looks pretty good. Yeah, it seemed I'm told it sort of leans more into the multiplayer Arena than the previous, like Bloodborne, but I think there might also just be a single player option there. I don't really play, I haven't really played these. I'm bad at them. I've played them, but I'm bad at them. Which one of you plays? I've played Bloodborne.

I haven't got Elden Ring, I should get Elden Ring. I don't have the confidence. I'm much like Tarantino or Macower. I can never quite get the timing right. Yeah, okay. It's just duck and roll, mate. It is, yeah. That's all you gotta do.

I don't know what you're doing, but that's what I'm doing. I'm rolling then ducking. What? Yeah, doesn't work at all. That's great. Also, there was a big kerfuffle for a number of reasons. New tariffs have come in. I don't know if you've heard.

I've heard. All the economies are crashing. That's good, because that's what's supposed to happen. Not in this room. No, you better believe the podcast economy is stronger than ever. As long as we never leave this room. We will be fine and So this the pre-orders were delayed and games are now us like 80 90 dollars

Which is a lot. That's a lot. So look into our world. Yeah Price anyway, yeah, but it's also Australian. It's different obviously,. But I would say, yeah, don't, I mean, if you can just wait. Wait a little bit. You know, wait for prices to drop. But the thing is with like Nintendo centric properties, if you go and buy a Super Mario Odyssey, even now, it's still full price. They don't generally drop. That's true. Yeah, it was much less. You get like a secondhand one, I guess. But even now it looks like there's some good stuff coming to it, though, you know, and I'll get one at some point maybe. New Donkey Kong game. Yeah they made him old school like the googly eyed Donkey Kong.

Oh yeah. He's not like the Super Nintendo version which they kind of stuck with for a while. Yeah. Anyways Mason. New Mario Kart's got a free roam mode. Yeah it does. You can drive between tracks. Boring. Nah maybe it's good I don't know. Maybe it's good maybe people like, I think a lot of people. maybe it's good, I don't know. Maybe it's good, maybe people like it. I think a lot of people- No, it goes great. They're always great. Yeah, I mean, you know, and I saw people go, oh, what's the point?

Is there time trials? Is there blah, blah, blah? No, it's just for people who just like, I look, I like the rainbow road or whatever. I'm just going to drive around it for a bit. Yeah. Seems fun. I hope that all the tracks in between the actual racetracks are boring. OK. Just nothing going on. Right. Just a desert.

Good. Yeah, me too. Right. Just a desert. Good. Yeah. Me too. Great. Anyways, congratulations to those who went straight to this time code. Some people would have been like, what's going on with Kody versus Acme? Let me know in the comments.

That's true. I said the long delayed Looney Tunes movie, Kody versus Acme has officially found a new home at Ketchup Entertainment. They recently released the day the earth blew up. That's right. Which looked like it bombed. That's what looked like that happened. But they bought this one. That's right. This was initially one of those $30 million Warner Brothers tax write-offs. But it seems as if... And they claimed they destroyed it. Yeah. Those liars. And it seems as if though, according to a previous report, that the deal for this

was $50 million. So Warner Brothers went, well, that's more than the tax write off. That's true. Let's do this. Yeah. So this is going to get a release date in 2026. By all accounts, everybody who has seen this or involved says it's incredible. And this one, I think I say it now and hopefully I'll be true to my word, Mason. I do want to see this one. What about you? Yeah, I do. I will forte. It's got Jonathan Cena. That's right. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. It's got that, you know, it's got the the, you know, Looney Tunes in the real world. Yeah. Situation. We love that. Great. You love it always. I love it in Space Jam. Remember the end of Space Jam 2? You thought Bugs Bunny would die, but he actually

he was all right. Yeah. Then I heard it in Hollywood. Yeah. In the cinema. If in fact, I saw it at the cinema. Did I? Oh, did we watch it at home? I don't know, man. It was in that era when nothing happened or everything happened it at the cinema. Did I? Oh, did we watch that at home? I don't know, man. It was in that era where nothing happened or everything happened. That's right. But if you're wondering about Ketchup Entertainment, I think maybe we mentioned this in a prior week, they also distributed the movie Hypnotic where Ben Affleck was like, there's too many hypnotics.

They're doing a hypnotic on everybody and robbing a bank or something. Not on me, I hope. Well, they can't because I'm the best hypnotic. Whoa, okay. That's right. Then Memory. What the fuck's that? Jessica Chastain and Peter Sarsgaard, Never Heard Of It.

Or Perhaps I Don't Remember It. Whoa. They also produced Ferrari, which is a Michael Mann movie. Oh, that movie that some people saw. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The movie that your dad saw. Oh, Memory, yeah, okay. And Hellboy the Crooked Man.

You like that? So this is a big step up, I think. Yeah. Or is it? I don't know. I mean, Hellboy the Crooked Man costs 10 grand, so. Yeah, that's true. Oh, Memory's got a good write Hellboy The Crooked Man cost 10 grand so. Yeah that's true. Oh Memory's got a good write-up. There you go. Maybe I'll watch the movie Memory.

Maybe. It's directed by Michael Franco. Fake name. It's James Franco. No it's not. It is Michael Franco. Franco. There you go. Well well well. Well well well. There you go. Okay so that's Ketchup Entertainment. Anyway that'll come out Won't it? Yep, and then we'll know then we'll know trailers. Ahoy Whoa, I'm gonna give the Was gonna pay the boat a compliment, okay, but now I'm not going to what about that they made a little tune I don't want that Wow be normal. It's gonna say you brought incredible trailers this week and a lot of them Yeah, that was that that was the fanfare for Incredible Trailers. No fan which I get bigger and more elaborate every week What do you want fucking a clap for doing your job like?

Job he's turned the beast turned the iPad around and it's got what tip do you want to deliver and the minimum says 20%? It goes 20 25 25, 30, 40 percent. Unbelievable. What tip are you going to let you... Is there an optional tip or you have to hit one of the buttons? Well it says other amount but you have to flip that and then they'll notice you're putting in like... Less. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

An iTip. Yeah, that's... But you have to. Not this fucking boat. Not the boat? No. Words going to get around that you don't, Tim. I'm going to knock that iPad into the ocean.

That's right, we live near the ocean. What do you think of that? Right on a pier. Well how else would the boat? No. What's gonna get around that you don't, Tim? I'm gonna knock that iPad into the ocean. That's right, we live near the ocean. What do you think of that? Right on a pier. Well, how else would the boat get here? That's what I'm telling you. Anyway, should we talk some trailers? Yeah, Mason. What if this is somebody's first episode?

Good. Yeah. Karate Kid legends. So this is the- They're all back. Jackie Chan, Ralph Macchio, that kid who's the new Karate Kid, he's there. Jaden Smith, maybe. It's not Jaden Smith. He's there. He's in the new karate kid movie.

Jaden Smith, maybe. It's not Jaden Smith. No. None of the people from Karate Kid's TV show. No. They need to teach... Isn't Ralph Macchio in Cubricar? He is, but none of the kids from it.

Oh, okay. Oh, so none of them are the iconic karate kid. No! There's so many karate kids in that show, Mason. I stopped watching it for no reason. I just didn't... I just kind of... Okay.

I don't know. Well, there's got to be a reason, even if it's a deep-seated reason. It just wasn't that interesting? No, I liked it enough. Did you say, well, you like that's enough Karate Kid for me? Yeah, I like it though. It's a good show. Maybe I'll go back to it. I probably won't. But this is in the Karate Kid's universe. Okay. But it doesn't reference a lot of that stuff directly.

Okay. So yeah, for those who don't know, Jackie Chan played the Mr. Miyagi character in his Karate Kid movie in 2010, whenever that came out maybe. So will there be a line in there for Ralph Macchio's, like Jackie Chan's like, hey, Ralph Macchio, why don't you bring one of your kids in to be the Karate Kid? And he's like, well, none of those kids were good enough. Yeah. And then it just cuts to all the kids from Cobra Kai. And they're watching on a monitor and they're like, oh, I thought I was going to be the next Karate Kid. No man this is a new Karate Kid. Is he ever referred to as the Karate Kid in the

Karate Kid movies? Yeah I believe so. I don't know. Wait in all of them? In any of them. I don't know. Okay. Are you gonna ask your Hillary Swank question? No. Okay. No. She's not in it. I'm aware. She's too busy being in yellow jackets. Fucking yellow jackets. Is she? Yeah, she is. I do like yellow jackets. Yeah, there you go. Anyway, Creative Kids, come out, looks pretty good.

Creative Kid, take my sign. Tell her who's signing, can I? Is she? Is she? I'm asking you. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, you can't rule it out. I'm not ruling it out.

She should show up in the post credits and everybody in the world goes, what? What do you mean? Why is this? Is this a Boys Don't Cry sequel? Yeah. Is this a sequel to the movie The Core starring Hilary Swank and Aaron Erkhart? Yes. Yes. Okay. Yes.

There you go. We also got a trailer. It's an Apple exclusive movie and it's also directed by a man who directs nine movies a year, Guy Ritchie. Oh, yes. It's called Fountain of Youth and it stars John Krasinski as a man who thinks he's Indiana Jones and he runs around with Natalie Portman and they... Think Deanna Jones. Think Deanna Jones and he's got a little outfit on and it's just... He's got his corduroy jacket on, yeah.

Yeah. He's driving a Shelby Cobra. Yep. That's that car with the stripes on it. That's cool's cool man. He steal it or is it his car? Well, all this guy. He certainly um, I don't entirely hate no, I don't entirely hate it I'm not it looks more real than a lot of Apple movie. It looks real location. It does look I mean Yeah, so either they've actually gone to real locations. They make a point of being like we're gonna start again. Yeah. Yeah, that's not true You know that they make a point in the trailer to be like,

this is happening over five continents or whatever. So either they went there or they just went, let's, let's do some decent visual effects on this one. And they did. Um, but it does look, it does have a touch of the fake movies to it. Starting with the fact that it's just called fountain of youth. Yeah. Couldn't think of a better title than fountain of youth. The fountain of youth. John Krasinski is the fountain of youth. Now he's doing an Indiana Jones, even though it feels more like the librarian in those

movies. Ouch. I've never seen those. Ouch. Yeah, I don't know. I feel like if... Ouch. You know how he's playing like an Indiana Jones-esque character?

Uh-huh. I think the look is not... As iconic? Yeah. Or not. I don't mean like even as Indiana Jones, but if you look at like Rick O'Connell's got a look, Star-Lord's got a look. These guys have like a look and I feel like he doesn't have, his look isn't.

They're trying to make it a look. Yeah, that's, I agree. I don't hate it. He's got the vest, he's got the corduroy. He's got a blue shirt under that. He's got a blue shirt, that iconic blue shirt. You know? I don't know, is he missing a hat?

I don't know. I think if he had a hat, people would be like, oh Indiana Jones. Yeah, you're probably right. So I don't know. I think if he had a hat people will be like Yeah, you're probably right. So I don't know maybe just a big pair of Oakleys. Oh you think the speed dealer Oakleys? Yeah, like keep the outfit. Yeah, yeah, with a chain. Okay. What about this like parachute? Material tracksuit. I'm listening, you know, I'm listening and I'm loving it. It's big and it's like Purple and teal or whatever. Okay. You know Charlotte Hornet's colors. Yes. And he's got the orange speed dealers on. Yeah.

And he's like, let's get the founder of youth. Cause he's already dressing like it. And it's Danny McBride. I mean, yeah, that would be way better. Obviously. Let's get the founder of youth, you mother effers. I hear the Righteous Jamstones is very good. Oh, it's wrapping up, isn't it?

I think so, yeah. Yeah, I know, I should start that. Yeah, I don't even know what fucking platform it's on here. Couldn't tell you. Anyway, we're certainly spending a lot of time in this fountain of youth trailer. Yeah, because we're trying to find something that's either really good to stick with. Who's the third person in it? The other lady.

Yeah. I'd not, I bet I've seen it before. It's Natalie Portman and... Yeah, I'll tell've seen it before. It's Natalie Portman and... Yeah, I'll tell you who it is. It's coming up. It's coming up. Eliza Gonzalez. Domino Gleason in it. Is that it? Donuts Gleason is in this. Yeah. Stanley Tucci is in it. Carmen Hiyogo. Yeah. I don't know who that is. Stanley Tucci is in it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Great. It's great. Oh, Mother's Milk. Laz Alonso is in this. That's right. News of Youth from the Boys. Yeah. I don't know, I think this could be a real movie.

It's out May 23rd. You've certainly changed your tune. You know, I just love movies. Okay, here he's got a sort of denim shirt and a kind of a green sort of scarf, necker scarf. Is that a real trailer though or is that a fake trailer? I don't know. From film select.

I don't know. No, look, this is the official trailer. Is he wearing the scarf or not? He's not wearing the scarf. He's wearing the scarf. He's wearing the scarf. Well he's wearing the scarf. I don't mind that look at all. Okay. It's pretty good.

So he's got an iconic scarf you're saying. Should I start dressing like this? You do dress like that. That's you. Nice. Yeah. Nice. Now you're more of a Tim from the office than a Jim from the office. Damn.

I got you man. Damn. I got your heart just there. Well, well, well, you know, because you're Gareth. Thank you. No problem. I accept. Then we got a trailer for the Naked Gun reboot slash legacy sequel. That's right. Going Liam Neeson. And yes, it is a legacy sequel because he's Frank Drebben Jr. Yeah, that's right. We talked about this recently that I was looking forward to this. So is and this is direct. This is directed by key from the lonely island. Yes So did he direct pop star never stop never stop believe you do or did they all do it collectively? But I this is a good choice. I think it's great You know somebody wrote in last week and was like, what would you like to see is a parody movie?

I think we named them specifically and forgot that they did this. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Um, I think it's good I think it's gonna be poking at all the I think the time is ripe to do a Movie that is poking at the all the various tropes of legacy sequels. Mm-hmm It wouldn't shock me if in the post credit sequence he gets the Frank Draven white hair. Oh, okay. Yeah Yeah, that would be fun. So he directed Chibbendale Rescue Rage is pop star the watch and hot rod Okay, great good. Good good good good work. Yeah, good work. Yeah. Um, there's some good jokes in it Yeah, there's the there's the room at the police station is devoted to the

cops who are the Children of other cops who they just in the room to cry under their portraits is the dig at OJ Simpson. Yep. He's a little girl and he takes the mask off. I think Liam Neeson does deadpan humor very well. And Deadpool humor. And yeah, he probably could do a Deadpool humor.

I think yeah, the thing about like Frank Drebben character is that he's not doing jokes. Correct. Yes. He plays it 100% straight, which is, you know, I think he could do. I think this could be good. I think this could be good also. Yeah. Wow.

Next trailer, Mason. Go on. Mattoogon or Mephorgan? I don't know. So there was Mephregan came out last year or the year before. It's about an AI girl who she's really protective and loves the girl who is her owner, but too much so. And she uses AI to try and kill everybody. And this time owner, but too much so and she uses AI

to try and kill everybody. And this time around is a Terminator 2 situation where there's even your AI robot girl and they have to put Mattoogon in a new body. But she's now like normal adult size and has to fight Terminator 2 style. Looks fun.. Looks fun. Looks fun. What do you think? I think it looks fun too. Yeah. Nothing else? That's it? Uh... Uh... I think that's it.

I don't know. What do you want from me? No, I just want to know what you think. Okay. And you think it looks good. I do think it looks good. That's good enough for me. Yep.

Uh... There's also a trailer we're talking about. Horror trailers. Uh, bring her back. Uh, that trailer. Oh, this is from the talk to the hand. What's it actually called? Talk to me.

Talk to me. It's from directors Danny and Michael, Philip, who are Philip Powell. I never noticed that. The Racka Racka guys. Yeah. And now they make incredible horror movies, it seems. So Sally Hawkins is in this though, which I think is, I mean, that's an incredible get. They recently left the Street Fighter reboot.

Okay. So yeah, so this looks more in line obviously with what they've done prior. But that's not a bad thing, I think. This looks like it could be super cool, Mason. Super cool. Yeah, and that's out in May 30th. That's right after the Naked Gun, etc. There's a lot of movies coming out soon, isn't there? Movies.

And speaking of Mason, we saw a preview which I thought was only going to be in cinemas for Superman That's right coming out in 2025 middle of the year Now this is love it. This is sort of an expansion of the majority of this this bleak or not like this is This reel is sort of an expansion of what we saw in the trailer It's Superman has been injured in some sort of battle, presumably with that Bizarro guy that might be Ultraman or something, some guy, and he calls for Crypto, the super dog, to come rescue him. But in this, we see a little more of that and he's a real jerk of a dog. And some people are mad at that, but I'm like, you ever own a dog? Sometimes they're real jerks.

Yeah, dog bit, not my dog, but a dog bit me yesterday. Whoa. Just standing there and a dog just bit me're real jerks. Yeah. Dog bit me. Not my dog, but a dog bit me yesterday. Whoa. Just standing there and a dog just bit me. What were you doing though? I was literally standing talking to its owner and it just stepped in and bit me. And it wasn't even worth even mentioning because it was like a little schnauzer thing. Oh, right, right, right. I just looked down and I'm like, this fucking dog just bit me.

Yeah. And then it didn't even bark and bite me. It just went in for a bit me. But yeah, like clearly... That dog doesn't know I could kill it. Yeah. Maybe I'll go back. You should send a threatening letter. Agreed.

Hey, show your dog this letter. It's a little pictogram of you kicking the dog. Absolutely, yeah. Into power lines. Yeah. But no, you're right. And this crypto... He wants to play. Yeah, and he's fun. He's a you know, he's a bit of a bloody ratbag dog or whatever you want to call him. But he's also got superpowers. So yeah, he would he's a he would be terrifying. Yeah. I enjoy the fact that you know, he's like a lot of dogs. He doesn't really understand what he's what's going on. But he's trying his best. Yeah, that's right. That's fun. Yeah fun yeah I think it's great we get in we get a look at the the Superman robots yeah that are oh we sit we get a look at the the force of solitude coming out of the earth love all of that that's great but they bring him into the the fortress of solitude and they put him on our they do a big scan on him and they get him in

a some sort of healing chamber and give him a full dose of solar radiation yeah put him back together. I think, again, I think this is good because it does show general audiences that he's not invulnerable all the time. Which I think is maybe the number one problem of Superman non-fans is they're like, well, he's not interesting because you can't harm him. Yeah, no, the dog can beat him up. Yeah, that's right.

We've talked about this before. If a dog can kill a human being, then a super dog could kill a superman. That's so true, yeah. That's the way it goes. I love the robots, because that's like Grant Morrison-esque kind of, I don't know, just like a Fortress of Solitude where there's like stuff going on. You know?

Like, it's like an active environment, you know? He's got these things there and it's not just an empty, I mean it is a big crystal room, it's not just an empty crystal room. There's Kryptonian technology in there and all of that. I think I love how he thanks the robots. There's a point there where- That's Alan Tudyk it seems by the way, one of those robots. Yeah, there's an Alan Tudyk, I thought maybe I recognized another voice, but who knows. But it seems that some of the robots are new which means they're being built by the fortress or something. Yeah, or they build each other.

Maybe they're building each other. I don't know. Yeah. We see later, because the rest of the trailer was pretty much the same. Yeah. We saw this in the previous trailer. Although a little bit of an addition, I think there's the moment where you see Superman and he's in a room with Lois and there's the big giant artificial sun or whatever it is.

You see Green Lantern fighting it. Really? Yeah, hang on. I'll see if I can bring up a little. I did not notice that. You see him shooting his lasel beams at it. That's cool for Green Lantern to be doing that. Oh, you agree.

He's like, Superman, where are you? He's like, I gotta kiss Lois Lane. Give me a goddamn minute. Hey man, we all get it. Yeah, yeah. We see Mr. Terrific, who seems to be looking out for lowest line as well Lois Lex Luthor original hater crying so much. Yeah, I superman so much. That's always good. Mm-hmm He does have it. He does have a big cry about that doesn't he? Yeah James. I can't spot it right now

That's okay. I assure you it's probably in there. Let me check. Yeah, it'll be in Google You know, yeah, yeah, everything's bad all the time. This is out soon. July 10th 2025. Also, love the suit. Love it. Yeah. Just the more I see of it, the more I'm like, yep, good. It's good. I like the logo design on it. I like everything about it. I like him as well as Superman, as the very little that we've seen of him yeah David Corrin sweat I think he's uh I don't know I think I think he's gonna know that is it gonna be great I hope so I hope so but I don't shame if was bad yeah I would hate that at least pretty entertaining I'll take pretty entertaining yeah yeah could it be a

little bit overstuffed potentially maybe I reckon it might be a little long I had to guess yeah I know I hope it's, I know, sorry. I hope it's 10 hours long. I hope it's 10 hours long too. Yeah, that's right. Hope it's long and boring. Yeah. All right, let's do this, Mason. Sean Aries.

Oh, yep. So the director of this, he worked on Pirates 5 and Maleficent Mistress of Evil. That's not great news, but also those movies are nobody's fault, don't even worry about it. This was written by Jack Thorne, who recently also did Adolescents for Netflix.

It's got music by Nine Inch Nails. It's a beautiful looking trailer and movie it seems. Jared Leto's in it. We don't like him. Why is he the main guy? We don't know. We don't know how he keeps getting work. I mean good on his agent. We should look up his...

Jared. Send them a congratulations fruit basket perhaps. Yeah. Do you reckon we can get him some, like send him something, send Jared Leto something through this agent? WME. Oh yeah. And CAA for musical representation for his band, 30 Seconds to Mars. Great band.

WME. Great band, Mason. Yeah. Don't you love that band? I've never, I don't think I've heard a single second of 30 Seconds to Mars. Chris Rock is with WME. Daniel Kaluuya is with WMA. Whoa great. It is good. And Jared Leto. But yeah I mean this is Tron in the real world. Oh yeah I mean the primary thing with this I mean that was the the plot of Tron Legacy is

that the denizens of the grid specifically specifically Clue, who was, or Clue 2, who was Jeff Bridges' alternate AI guy. He was his strong man. He was his strong man. He wanted to figure out how to use the device that puts humans into the computer world and get the computer people into the real world. His plot failed, of course, and then Jeff Bridges exploded. exploded but did he? I mean he did. You see it. Yeah. But then Garrett Headland escaped the computer world back into his real world but he brought with

him Olivia Wilde who was a computer lady and then she became a real lady. We should be in this no doubt it. Well Jeff Bridges is back. He's at least doing the voiceover even though he exploded. Yeah but I guess he didn't explode Yeah, they are they're all in continuity, right? So I mean that movie really leans into the idea that there is a direct sequel to that's got Killian Murphy in it It was gonna be like a villain in later movies because he was the son of Dillinger who's yes bad guy in the original version Yeah, Joseph Kaczynski was who did Top Gun Maverick was gonna direct well

He directed the second one he was gonna do a third one and it just kind of stalled for a decade. The last movie of course was soundtrack by Daft Punk who have since broken up. As we mentioned they got too much cigarette ash and red wine in their helmets and they had to stop doing it. They just couldn't get it out. And then you got to stop. And you got a new helmet. No exactly.

You got to retire. But I think 90's, I mean if what we're hearing in this Incredible choice, yeah. is representative of what's in the movie, I think Nine Inch Nails, you know, they weren't gonna be like, let's do a bloody, what's the Nine Inch Nails album called? Closer, we're not gonna do, you know, we're not gonna do a Nine Inch Nails movie soundtrack.

We're gonna do something akin to You wanted 30 Seconds to Mars and David Guetta, didn't you? You wanted those two together. Yeah yeah I wanted David Guetta and I wanted David Guetta to announce every song before it comes on um there was a moment because we've talked about big Tron before yes big Tron was in it and there's a moment where you see one of those something's like looming over the city the recognize yeah and I'm like whoa are we gonna get a big Tron? Oh I see what you're saying. A Godzilla sized Tron? Yeah right. Whatever that looks like. Uh huh

no we're not gonna get that. But we did get of course the light cycles in the real. Love that man. And I think that is a strong opening for this trailer. So good. Yeah. The two presumably evil guys because they're red are flying through the real life city on the light cycles and then being pursued by the police and then they activate the light cycle beam that cuts the cop car in half. That was very fun, I think. Well, it seems like Jared Leto is one of the red guys.

So maybe the red guys aren't always bad guys. Maybe. Again, I like the rest of the cast for this. Jeff Bridges is in it, Evan Peters is in it. Gillian Anderson is in this. Cameron Monaghan's in it. Oh yeah, we know him. Yeah, these are. He's our real it. Oh yeah, we know him.

Yeah, these are- He's our real life friend. Yeah, we know him through social media, etc. So yeah, almost every element of this movie I am excited for. And maybe the movie itself is good enough where I can overlook the Jared Leto thing. Let's see. Let's see. But-

I can only hope. Wow, Tron Ares. Big Tron. Do you think we're going to much in grid Tron stuff? Or is it gonna be mostly pixels? Great question. Oh I mean have to get some of it. Yeah I mean what we see does look at we we see what looks like the evil bad guys sort of hanger

Yeah, the previous movie we also see in the trailer, you know how Jeff Bridges exploded in the last one Oh, it was that big beam of light. It seems like that's what they're converging on. So I suspect maybe the big beam of light is how they're going to get into the real world. Hey man. Exactly. Yeah. Et cetera. Hey.

Anyway, we're going to watch the other two Tron movies of Caravan of Garbage this year, probably. Right. We're going to go back to the Tron-a-verse. Tell you what, the effects in this look really good. I mean given you know Disney's track record of the last few years of just... You're saying this movie looks like something. It looks like something which is nice. Maybe they've worked really hard on this specifically because when Before Tron Legacy came out they made the trailer first and they worked really hard on that and I guess that forced them

to make the movie look as good as yeah It did but you know, ma Disney Marvel's track record for the last few years is just to constantly Re get the visual effects artists to restart everything over and over and over again So instead of having six months to work on a movie, they've got two weeks I don't know. Maybe maybe maybe whoever you said was directing this has put his foot down. I hope he has. Me too. Well, Mason, see you boat.

Boat's gone now. Boat is gone. Boat did good work today. I think so too. Don't tell the boat that I said that. It's by a deadline. I think somebody's warming up to the boat. Nope.

An investigation by Deadline discovered that... Somebody's found his sea legs. No. And it's you. That instead of... You like taking a boat? What's that? You like taking a boat? Yeah, that's fine. I love taking a boat. I've got some time off, Brandi. Somebody's found his sea legs. No. That instead of... You like taking a boat? What's that?

You like taking a boat? Yeah, that's fine. I love taking a boat. I've taken a boat all goddamn day. I've got some time off, Brandy. You're going to take a boat? I'm thinking about taking a ferry. Where are you going to go?

No, no, just getting a ferry. Across the bay? Yeah, maybe. Getting a ferry across the bay. Maybe they have a concession stand. They might. What a treat. Can I come with you?

Sit on the back of the boat. You can come. I'd love to go on a ferry. Yeah. So basically, if you don't know, and you and you probably if you're a fan of movies and you've been on the internet There's a bunch of fake trailers pop up for movies that exist or also don't exist There's whole YouTube channels dedicated to these AI kind of slop making trailers. It's Forrest Gump 2. Yeah, it's Forrest Gump 2 It's whatever and you can normally pick them immediately just from the Thumbnail alone even if the movie itself is going to be real or is not everyone can not everybody can know because it'll often for the thumbnail will often feature actors who are definitely not in the movie or you know, who were in the

previous movie, but are definitely not in this or, you know, sometimes they're dead. Yeah, or think or, or thumbnails of characters who maybe they're in the movie, but they wouldn't reveal that in the thumbnail of the trailer, etc. You know what I mean? And they'll often even... Sometimes people will use thumbnails, AI thumbnails, or thumbnails for just regular trailers to make it look like there's a scene or this is a trailer that's not what it actually is,

which is just a regular trailer. Yeah. But anyway, so they've been run and ramped, and Deadline, they investigated this, and they realized that instead of getting copyright struck, several Hollywood studios asked YouTube to actually ensure that the ad revenue generated by the videos go in the direction of the studios. So the studios were like, we don't care about this as long as we get the money. Like that's the idea behind it.

But of course there's complications related to that. Also after the investigation was published, YouTube then, they turn off ad revenue on two channels that do this, Screen Culture and KH Studios. They're some of the biggest fan-made trailers. So, I mean, certainly this is interesting because on the one hand, if it is a fully AI trailer, it could very well use elements from an actual movie, which are trademarked and copywritten

or whatever it is. And you're also using actors' likenesses and etc. So I guess on some level these big studios would have some claim over that. I mean, I care about less that and more, and this has been brought up that Sega after brought this up, the Actors' Union, where basically they're exploiting actors without their permission and using AI to take their literal image and make a thing that's not real, and they're not compensated for that.

Also, it's not real. Although the actors aren't going to get compensated for this at all. No, that's exactly right. You're absolutely right. Thank you. Yes. KH Studio's founder, they told Deadline, I've been running case here full time over three years now, putting everything into it. It's tough to see it grouped under misleading content in the

demonetization decision. Um, when my goal has always been to explore creative possibilities, not to misrepresent real releases. And look, yeah, I, maybe that is the idea. Maybe they're not looking to mislead, but I still think. Yeah. I mean, it's, this is all all I hate I fucking hate all this by the way Like whether or not they have the right to do this That's I mean, I think we're still early days on so much of this

Yeah, because it's interesting is if somebody took I don't know if they took a bunch of clips from the Christopher Reeve Superman movies. Yeah, and they mixed them all together and went, you know in different contexts and added some effects to it. Not in terms of AI, but just in terms of editing. That's been a thing for ages. They go, and here's Superman 5 or whatever. That's a fan made trailer. That's not- Yeah, exactly.

It is using clips from copyrighted movies, but I would say it's probably fair use in terms of they're not selling it, although by arguing ad revenue, I would assume for this stuff. That's right. But is, but is, is it worse to just have your, you know, a, an AI system, like mid journey or whatever, whatever makes video clips now and just have it scrub its database for all the video clips it's stolen and then generate something somehow. But also, there's no way to do that coherently. There is still

some element of editing to that. Even though it's just doing prompts, somebody still has to go, okay, well, we need the scene to flow a certain way. I've never watched one of these photos, so I don't know. I don't know if they do make any sense. I might get one automatically played from the old Facebook or something. Yeah, right now and then but yeah No, I don't take these out because again, I hate them and it's normally people just looking for lawn and moving slightly That's right and looking into the middle distance. Yeah. Yeah, but yeah, I don't know man. I just yeah bad It's just I don't know. I don't know if we talked about this off air, but like so many of those Yeah, bad. It's just, I don't know, I don't know if we talked about this off air, but like so many of those, uh, like AI movies that people make, it is just people looking

for lawn into the middle distance, like fire in the background is fire in the background. And I said to you, like, so many of them feel like that moment in the first Avengers movie where they're finally formed up as a team. And that's, you know, the camera sort of spinning in a circle and they're, you know, getting ready to, to fight the final battle and the hulks there and all that sort of stuff. And but the thing about though that scene is that evokes a feeling because you've had the entire movie and several movies prior to that, we've learned about the characters, you know, and especially in the Avengers, they meet and they don't get along and then they overcome their problems and then they're there and they're all we up. We all know the Avengers, Mason. Of course we do.

But all the AI trailers are just that look but nothing behind them. So it's like, do you remember something that was kind of like that? Well, here's another thing. Here's another thing that's kind of like that. Do you feel the same? And you go, well, I sort of recognise the look, but you haven't put anything. It's very glossy, isn't it? Yeah, it is very glossy.

Yeah. And again, this is going to get better, but I don't know, man. The whole thing just feels really gross, to be honest. And meaningless. And meaningless, you're right. But you know, if... I think, like you said, I think there really is an artistry to taking something, even in a trailer, like making a fake trailer, existing footage and like re-editing it into something. I think that is like, I think that is to me,

and what's the real difference I guess, because it's both repurposing footage, but to me that is like an actual creative expression, where this is just like Superman's Will Smith stares into middle distance, fire, explosion, whatever. Fuck that, who cares, who wants that? Who wants this? Who wants it?

Again, I think that maybe the future for this is there will be some high profile lawsuits and then kind of the copyrighted material and the non-copyrighted material in these AI generating tools is kind of siloed. So you can be like, I want to make a trailer using prompts and I can use the public domain footage. It'll draw from this, which is free. Yeah. Or I can pay to use the copyrighted material. And if that's the case and you know, you can, you can test

out each one. Yeah. And if you want to pay for one of them, you can do that. Yeah. So then at least the people who made the original stuff. You can do stock footage for documentaries. Yeah, exactly. I don't know, do movie studios or even, are they interested in putting their entire content within one of these things? I wouldn't think so. And then do you pay actors residuals? How does this even... Well, I've come up with a full plan.

I like your plan, it's good. I put it in a note in my phone. Oh, I don't know. Well, I've come up with a full plan. I like the plan. It's good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. At least we don't have to figure it out. I put it in a note in my phone. Oh, I deleted it. Oh, no. Yeah. That's life. Should we move on then?

Long time in production, it's been like 10 years-ish. Trying to get something in this field going as it were. A wonderful computer game series. Opportunity. When did the first Minecraft game come out? Why are you asking me that? I'm going to look it up. 2011. Yeah, it was 2011. So essentially they're trying to take what works about Minecraft, blocks, exploration, Minecraft, etc. and then turn it into a movie.

And they've done that. And on a budget of $150 million, it looks as if the US opening is conservatively around $150 million, which is above the Mario movies $146 million. And it's looking to make about $125 million more overseas. Again, those are lower numbers. This is big and will probably remain big for a sequence of time. The kids have been waiting for this one. It seems like they have been.

And probably the adults. Probably the adults. What do you think the story was? Oh no. All right. Okay. Before we start, are you ready to cheer wildly? Yeah.

That's some things that I say. Absolutely. I'm not going to. I'm ready to do it, but I won't. Do you have a cheer? Hang on. Let me check. Hang on.

One of these is cheer. Yeah. Very well. Okay, you got that button, right? Yeah. Okay. This goes for a win. Yeah.

All right. So it's about a... It's about. Got that button. Okay. Let's go for a ride. Alright. So, it's about a... And that's comedy over here. That's comedy. It's about a guy called Steve. Minecraft Steve! Oh hell yeah.

Anyway, he was a kid and he wanted to go into the mines because they wouldn't let him go into the mines. And he grows up. Yeah. And then he's like, I don't like working in the regular world so I'm going to go into the mines, because they wouldn't let him go into the mines. And then he grows up, and then he's like, I don't like working in the regular world, so I'm going to go into the mines. So he goes into the mines, and he finds a spe...

Sorry, I shouldn't have paused there. Pause for longer next time. And then he goes into some real world mines and he finds two pieces of an artifact and he puts them together and opens a portal and it goes to Minecraft, the overworld of Minecraft. He pushed the button. Wait.

Good to wait. I'll leave you to my own time. You don't think so? No, I don't think so. But anyway, we can do it in a bit. What I'm doing there is I'm simulating my movie going experience. I couldn't stop Hootman and Hollis. But anyway, then Minecraft Steve,

he goes into the overworld and he discovers he can make anything he can imagine in the Minecraft overworld. And then he meets some villains and the villains want to use the magic of the orb cube thing to... I like how they call it an orb, but it's a cube. Yeah, it's a fun joke. It's a good joke. It's the best joke in the movie. Maybe. Yeah. But he doesn't want them to do that because they're going to use the magic to do evil

stuff. Yeah. So he gives the orb to his pet wolf and the wolf goes through the portal in the regular world and drops the... It's a square wolf. It's a square wolf and it drops it under his bed. And then that part of the movie is over and then there's a bunch of other characters.

So Jason Momoa is a guy from the 80s. He's an 80s video game guy. He's really good at playing video games in the 80s. But now he's a big loser and he runs like an old time video game junk shop or whatever. I wonder if any of his video game skills will Will be utilized in this video game movie. They won't know Anyway, he's one of the characters in the movie and then there's a like a tween boy Yep, and he is he's moved to this town with his sister Yeah, man, it's because our parents are dead or some parents are dead

And then he's got he's he's incredibly creative that in the real world he can build a jet pack out of junk parts. I wonder if that, his ability to innovate and come up with crazy inventions will be useful in this video game movie. Mostly not. Eh, somewhat. No. And then his sister's there.

And then there's a lady who's a real estate agent. She's also there. She's there too. Is that everybody? Yeah, pretty much. Anyway, they- Oh, there's Jennifer Coolidge and other people pop up. Anyway, they find the orb and then they go into the Minecraft world and then it's crazy.

Yeah, it is crazy. It's crazy in there. Anyway, my experience, I don't know what your movie going experience was, but I was in the city having lunch with my family on a Friday. And you took them to this? No, I didn't. I absolutely did not. Your dad saw this movie, did he? No, I said I'm going to go see Minecraft and they went, oh.

Okay. Anyway, and they went, sorry. But I went and I was having lunch with my family and then when it's over, I'm like, I'll go to the next available screening of Minecraft, which was at 3.15 on a Friday afternoon. Amazing. Which is when all the... School break early as well because it's end of term. That's exactly right. And I'm like, and I'll go on how, what kind of experience will I have? Nuts.

It was nuts in there, honestly. It was basically a full cinema. Did you have anyone sitting next to you? No, I picked it like a... Thank God. Out of the way spot. Like a creep. Yeah, you like a creep.

And let me tell you, people were wild for this movie. It was crazy. At one point, when the first, I think it was the first time we saw the overworld, somebody in the audience screamed out, Minecraft! And everybody started applauding and screaming. When Steve appeared, everybody screamed. Minecraft Steve!

Minecraft Steve. When somebody said, the Nether, I think it's the Nether realm, everybody screamed. Any reference? Enderman? Enderman. At one point, a pig with a crown appeared in the movie and everybody screamed I went I think was a fun. It's a famous minecraft player or something

When somebody would say flint and steel yeah people would what about when Jack Black said you earned for the mines the people love that Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I think everybody's right. I'm pretty sure everybody screamed. Yeah like this everybody screamed. I'm pretty sure everybody screamed. Yeah. Like this? Yeah, exactly like that. People went nuts. But for the rest of the movie, not so much. Yeah, it seems as if you said people weren't laughing at the actual jokes. No, so this is directed by Jared Hess. People would most probably most famously know he directed the movie Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre which had Jack Black in it. There are bit, there are shades of that in this, especially in the real world stuff. Yeah, so in this movie, the two kids, the boy with the wild, incredible imagination

is going to do incredible things, and his sister who's also there. They moved, is it called Chugville or something like that? Something like that, yeah. Anyway, it's sort of pitched as kind of a weird Midwestern town, a la Napoleon Dynamite. Built around this chip factory. There are characters, you know, like a kind of hippie dippy school teacher or have you. And that's like sort of Jared Hessian. They're all kind of oddballs, but there's no time for any of those characters to shine.

No. There's a lot of that in this where like, this character is sort of this. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. It feels like there's 20 minutes cut out of this. Yeah, because there's also some sort of- But 20 minutes of like bits that maybe jokes or bits that explain other things? Well, nobody's paying attention to the jokes. Yeah. Yeah, nobody in my cinema cared when anybody did an actual joke.

Yeah. It was irrelevant. Yeah. Also, the humor's not great. No. I think there's some okay jokes. I'm not being like, well these kids shouldn't enjoy anything.

Like people, when we went to, you know, the Final Avengers movies, people went absolutely nuts. We pissed our pants. We all collectively pissed our pants. But, you know, why not? If you wanted to see this for years. And that's the thing, like this, I went with my kids, who both loved it.

Have they played any Minecraft? My son a went with my kids who both loved it. I didn't they played any Minecraft My son a little bit, but they just know it like you see I'm during this I'm like do a movie I'm like what's that chicken jockey? Like he understands all that stuff even he hasn't played that it's just like it's in the culture. So yeah So this is I think this absolutely works as a minecraft movie, but as a movie in itself. No, not as much Yeah, well look I would I would I I would like to say if they're all a bunch of fans of Minecraft out there Stop listening um

Unless you can take a bloody joke could say that much. Whoa. I didn't hate it Boring sometimes What I would say is that I'm I'm reviewing this from the perspective of a person who has played like 20 minutes of the game several years ago, and I've got, I'm not experienced with it. I am, as a man of a certain age, if I'm not, no experience with this, would you enjoy that? And I'm gonna say probably not, honestly.

There's not enough in it. If you- Do you think there's, how would you compare it to like the Mario movie whatever Sonic movies you've seen it's worse than the Sonic movies I know yeah, and I know like we talked about this before the show But like the Lego movie is good outside of the fact So like you know a lot of people a lot of the discourse this week has been that you know The the disparate review scores between critics reviews. Yeah and been that, you know, the disparate review scores between critics reviews and audience reviews, you know, and the critics reviews are quite low, the audience reviews are quite high. And it's like, well, these critics, etc, they'd hate it because

it's a kids movie or based on IP or whatever it is. But if you look at the Lego movies, the critics reviews are quite high. Yeah. And I think that's because there's stuff in it for adults. And there's a heart to it. Yeah. I think this movie really, if you are just looking for the game that you love, translated one to one to another medium with no, little to no value add, that you're going to get that. Yeah. But if you want, if you're here because you don't know it and you'd like something other than Jack Black in character as Jack Black saying

references to this game in a funny voice. Yeah, sometimes they'll sing a song. Yeah, he'll improvise a song. They've given him the, you know how Sam Rockwell always has to dance in a movie now, even sometimes when he probably doesn't want to, but they know he's good at it. They've seen Jack Black in the Mario movie and they're like, can you riff a little? Yeah, the soundtrack is mostly just him. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. But I there's this to me, there was no value in this. There was some funny, there was some funny, like, a bit like there's a there's a moment when early on in the movie before the main characters have gone to the Minecraft world where the kid is getting ready for his first day at school and his sister who's going to work at the potato factory, she's like, I've made you

this tater tot pizza. Yeah. And she's a bit kind of odd and weird. And she's like, you can take this to school and, and make friends by sharing. That's a Napoleon Dynamite thing. That's a Napoleon Dynamite thing. And I'm like, oh good. She's going to be weird. Yeah. And he's going to be a little bit. No, they just get rid of that. Yeah, they just it's just gone I I liked the bit where he built the jetpack and it flew into the chip mascot that fell into the river I thought that was like, yeah, just don't like the whole town is built around the economy of this this chip man Yeah, I was like that's pretty strange. Yeah, we think to put it a bio craft. Yeah, so I didn't mind that I found yeah Jack Black. He's he's very he's very big in this, which you have to be.

I don't think that's a bad thing. I think he's fun and got a lot of energy. I think Jason Momoa, he's just doing Kenny Powell as Billy Mitchell. Uh-huh, yeah. And I didn't love that. And he screams a lot. Yeah. He screams quite a bit.

Oh, that's what I was going to say earlier. So if you go on Twitter, or I assume you go on your favorite pirating site or whatever yeah it's like a work print version which whether the visual effects are not finished and it's a lot more of just kind of what seems to be real minecraft visuals in there like they haven't tweaked the yeah so it looks like what I would say is that the visuals are quite good. Looks incredible.

It looks way better than I thought it was going to end up looking. And they build a lot of real stuff as well. From what I can tell based on clips of this version on Twitter, there are bits that have been taken out. Like there's a bit when Jack Black's character grows to adulthood and he's working in an office and he's built a diorama of his world kind of thing and he's showing it to his fellow workmates and they're not impressed kind of thing. I think there was way more of that in the original version. Okay, because it's basically like there's like a 20 second office scene.

Yeah, I think some, I've seen some reviewers say and I'm inclined to agree with it, his journey into the mines and then into the Minecraft world and him getting trapped in the Minecraft world could have been the whole movie in itself. But then it's just him and a dog, a man and a dog or a wolf or whatever it is. And that's it. But I think they were like, Jumanji has four characters. We need at least four characters. So we're going to need him and Momoa and the kid and his sister and the real estate agent. Is Jack Black gonna betray them? No. No, not really. Because he had an opportunity to and then...

It's true he did. It's not really part of the story. Yeah, it feels like there's scenes missing. There's a moment where they have to infiltrate a castle to get up whatever. And so Jack Black and Jason Momoa, they're doing the distraction. And so they've, all the guards, they've kind of, they've got looking at the ball, they're playing the saxophone and then it cuts back in the next scene. It's like, Oh no, we're in trouble. And then they're in a boxing ring. And it's like, I don't know when, when did this turn from you were playing the

saxophone to when you were in trouble and now you're in a box, like it just, when Jack Black ran out of riffs. Yeah. It felt like there was was you never thought he could do it felt like there was something else there that they took out and it's a lot of things felt like that to me where I think there was some more exposition here or a longer joke or uh-huh but they just I think they're just running between showing you different minecraft things as quickly

yeah so what happens is when they arrive in the minecraft world all the characters that aren't checked like they all arrived by accident because they The Billy Mitchell character Jason Momoa's character. He has the orb in his shop Yeah, and they activate it and then they end up in the minecraft they get dragged into the minecraft world And there's a moment where the kid he he learns he can Minecraft blocks real quick. Yeah, and then it's like what are you gonna do with that? The answer is nothing really He doesn't do anything with it for the rest of the was a Jack Black can do that Jack Black can do that also there's a scene quite early in the movie where we go to what seems to be his

House or a place he has set up business or something and it's filled with TNT and swords and all this sort of stuff And at the end of the movie there's a crafting scene where they make TNT and swords and stuff. And it's like, you have that. Why did you? Because you want to see the crafting. The problem, I think, with this movie is that the characters were so ill-defined. Not that it matters.

But like, surely the bit here could have been, well, one guy's really good at crafting, but he doesn't have any imagination. So he needs the kid with a big imagination to come in the world and be like, why don't we make a diamond sword or whatever? I mean, he does make a tater tot shooting gum, but that's the extent of it. But that's it. That's all he does. Yeah. Yeah. And that's a literal Napoleon, not dynamite, isn't tater tot. He doesn't have a bunch in his pocket in that. Probably. And then he says, gosh.

Then he says, His gosh Tina, etc Like my mama and Jack Black are kind of the same character. Yeah, you could have trimmed them Yeah, you don't need two teens really know the sister doesn't do anything Not as the real estate agent as the real estate. Yeah, they have their own so they all get separated So it's Jack Black and Jason my own the kid and then the sister in the real estate agent But those stories are not equally weighted in terms of importance or interest. Not at all. Yeah.

And you think Jason Momoa dies. Maybe he does. Spoiler alert. We'll talk about it later. He doesn't know. No, he doesn't. Why would he die in a kids movie? I will say also, and I said this to you off air, I'm not saying this is a positive or a negative.

What I am saying is I think some of the people who I was watching the movie with had never seen a full length movie before. Because they were blown away by like the smallest thing. Like just the smallest twist or like the smallest revelation. They were like, ah! And I also can't tell if they were doing it ironically. Oh man, I mean you're too old to know. Like were they, did everybody get together and they're like, we're gonna point at the stuff and scream. Yeah. Because we love it

But it was everybody. Yeah Yeah, it was everybody. Yeah Should we do some spoilers I guess? Let me think. Is there anything else to- oh, there's a subplot where Jennifer Coolidge Who was the principal of the school? She meets a Minecraft man who has come through the portal to the real world. She's like, oh, he's so, I love, yeah, you're so different from the men I normally meet and I've just been, I'm just divorced and what have you. But again, doesn't really. It's a fun subplot.

It's a joke. Yeah, sure, sure, sure. Yeah. Jack Black says a lot of stuff, doesn't he? He says flint and steel. Yeah, he does. He says let's mine and then craft. But it'll be like flint and steel.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like that. Treasure or whatever. Yeah. Oh, this is also a subplot about Jason Momoa wants diamonds, but that Like that. Treasure or whatever. Yeah. Oh, this is also a subplot about Jason Momoa wants diamonds, but that doesn't really go anywhere either. And he doesn't get diamonds, but he does save his shop somehow. Yeah.

We'll talk about it in spoilers. Look, yeah, I can't say I hate it. I think I enjoyed it more than the Mario movie. I'm going to say best movie ever, but that's from the perspective of this is a Minecraft movie, right? And it certainly has my kids liked it and so yeah, I don't have any kids. Yeah, so I don't have to fake my enjoyment I'm not faking it. It's just I think it is what it is. I think this needed a bunch of re here's the thing I think this movie needed a bunch of rewrites. I think it had all that I think they chopped shit Yeah, it is like five screenwriters or something. I think this needed a

rewrite from somebody who knew what they were doing. Maybe Jared Hess, who's not a listed screenwriter on this. Okay. And I think it needed more jokes, but here's the thing, they clearly felt that wasn't necessary. And they were right. Yeah, they were absolutely right. But that's the thing. I would not recommend this to anybody because... Oh no, I've been recommending this to people as like... A joke? A trick? Yeah, trick.

No, you're on school holidays. There are worse things you could watch. It's the worst thing you could watch. I would recommend your children go see A Working Man before they saw... No, they would enjoy this more than A Working Man. Interesting. I mean, Dog Man's out. That's pretty fun.

Okay. Well then, alas, I must say worst movie ever because it's not for me. I think that's fine. I'm not saying it's the worst movie ever for teens who love Minecraft. I'm sure many of them would get a kick out of it. But I reckon there are also people who probably love Minecraft who are like I wish this was a better showing for the thing that I love that isn't just saying stuff from the game in the movie. I would like it to have jokes.

Like, imagine if you love Minecraft and this movie came out and people went, I don't know anything about Minecraft but this was so funny. I'd love to play Minecraft because it had cool visuals and everybody was so funny and having a great time. Well, it's already the most popular game in the world. They don't need that. Exactly. That's why I'm saying it's the worst movie ever.

Yeah, they could have put more into it. They don't it to be good, so they were like, why bother? Yeah, I think there was at one point, again, this is not saying it's good, I think it was in there at some point. So you're not saying it's good, but you are saying it's the best movie ever. That's really interesting. I just didn't hate it. Okay. And again, seeing my kids enjoy it, like, whatever. I did leave before the post credits.

I can't remember. No I know what I know what I looked them up later. They're just available on Twitter now. Okay. So we're in spoilers big time spoilers. Big time spoilers. Okay so the first post credits. I can't stress enough that this was the best movie ever.

No I understand. So the first post credits is we see the the Minecraft villager talk and it's Matt Berry he's the voice of Matt Berry. And that's funny. That's funny. He's friends with all those guys. Also there's a couple of flight of concords guys in in this. Yeah, Jermaine Clements is and the lady Who's the she's the Thor Ragnarok lady? She's the voice of the sorcerer Yes, um, I don't think she's a flight of the Concord's garbage, New Zealand anyway, uh, so probably yes, so probably

And the second post credit sequence, which I'm sorry We went insane for in my theater, but I'd left by then, is that he, Jack Black goes back to his house. Yeah. And it's another lady from Minecraft. Second Minecraft. It's Minecraft, Steve, but it's a girl. Yeah.

Alex? Yep. Great. I don't know, honestly. But yeah, there's a big battle at the end. There sure is. And then he's all there. You know what? I liked the bit where he defeats the evil witch.

And she's like, come here, I want to tell you something. And he's like, you're going to try and stab me with a little knife. And she does. And he just slaps it away like he's annoyed. I thought that was a good joke. The other good joke I thought was pretty good, decent is where they put the wing packs on. Yeah. And they have and Jack 69. Yeah. And they have to they have to share a wing pack that to 60. Yes, they do through a tunnel or whatever. But they have to six. I absolutely do have to do that. Yes. I know that was kind of a funny joke. That's as close as this movie got to a joke, I guess. Yeah. And probably as close to the movie like this can get to doing a 69. Absolutely. That particular sexual position. Yes. I don't

think they could explicitly do that. Have two men doing that in a PG rated movie I know I think it'll probably be inappropriate for kids honestly Maybe it's in the work print. I haven't seen the whole thing So yeah, so a big part of the story is that Jason Ma was broken he's a loser in his Kenny Powers yeah, yeah, I've got Kenny Powers and Which also we saw in pixels like some yeah, this is pixels adjacent. Yeah, this is yeah. His video game candy powers. His video game candy powers. Which also we saw in Pixels. This is Pixels and Jason. This is way better than Pixels.

I don't know, man. Come on. Let's be real. Let's be real with each other. I think they're equally bad, but in different ways. Okay. All right, fine. Pixels is nobody...

Video games aren't as good as they were back in my day when we were playing Pac-Man or whatever. And this is, hey look at all the stuff in a video game. One's not worse than the other. No I found the characters in Pixel's much worse. Oh, right. Yeah. But so they win and they use all their Minecraft abilities to win and they send the pigs back to hell.

They don't use their Minecraft abilities to win, they just have some Minecraft stuff. Yeah, they make them some robots and stuff and they all fly them. Yeah, and when they made the robots, everybody cheered. And they're flying around. They're flying around. Everyone's flying around. And then Jason Momoa, you thought Jason Momoa was dead from earlier. They used water to get out of it.

Yep. That's what he said. And then he flies back in and people in my audience were like, what? I thought he was dead for real. Mason, they're being ironic and they got you. I don't know if they were though. I don't think, I don't think that's the beauty of irony. I think they just took it at face value that he died. And then when he came back, they were like, Whoa, how did movies do this? Maybe I'll see another movie. They won't.

The sequel to this. So he makes them go on a side quest to get diamonds, but then they don't? The Billy Mitchell character. Because he basically, he doesn't have any money, he wants the diamonds, and then he tells Jack Black, I'll help you if you get... If you take us on the route through the Minecraft world that gets us the diamonds, even though it's more dangerous, and he's like, fine. And then you're right, he doesn't get the diamonds.

But also how do you spend the diamonds in the real world? The world is weird it doesn't matter. Yeah that's true. It doesn't matter at all. But yeah so with so then they go into the real world and they revitalize his shop and then Billy Mitchell and Jack Black are singing a song together or whatever. And it's like and we built a video game and it's called Block Fighters and it's the best and we saved the store and it's like and we built a video game and it's called block fighters and it's the it's the best and We saved the store and it's like hell

What did you do specifically in them developing this video game made people also? It's not even a real game They didn't even make minecraft. Yeah, they made a fake fighting game Yeah, it looked quite nice though. Like both. Yeah, I looked it up because I'm like Is this a game? The original, the first one from the 80s, it's called like Hunk City Showdown or something like that. It looked pretty fun. I agree. It looked like one of those sort of slightly advanced games.

It looked like the Combat Tribe. Like Shredder's Revenge, etc. Yeah, so I don't know, but they saved the video games store. Yeah, they sure did. And he's not a loser. Yeah. And then whatever, etc. Because he grew and changed? Yeah. No, he didn't. No, he stayed the same. I tricked you, he didn't. He stayed the same. You got me then. They all stayed the same. You got me. And then, then the kids like... I built a jetpack. Yeah, the kids like, hey, I'm gonna

leave the Minecraft world, even though this world's magical and you can do anything and it's really cool and everything's really exciting and nobody liked me in the real world and my parents are dead. Yep. But I'm just going to leave just because. And then Jack Black. Where I can go to the real world where I can do nothing. No, he built a jet pack. I mean, he already could. He already could build a jet pack. So he grew and changed in that way. Yeah, because he built a jet pack. And his sister was also there. I think that's great. She went to the chip factory. Yep. And there was a moment I remember that she was like, I'm sorry, I said this or I'm sorry, I didn't believe in you or something. And I remember thinking, was that a plot point in this movie? I can't I can't even remember what the

resolution was. Or what it tied back to. The only she was a little bit mad at him, I think, because she got the job at the chip factory. and he knocked down the chip man with a with a jetpack yeah, but she wasn't like You need to be serious. You need to stop building jet packs, which by the way is a miracle Like it took it took many men decades to build a jetpack and they only barely work now So the fact that you could build one with junk is actually insane. That's crazy. You should sell these on eBay.

We'd make millions of dollars. You could build one a week. I mean, it takes you an afternoon to build one, clearly. You could build several. Yeah. Someone build a jetpack in Minecraft. They just have flying wing packs or whatever. And balloons.

Yeah, but he doesn't, again, he only builds that potato gun or whatever. And balloons? Yeah, but he doesn't, again, he only builds that potato gun or whatever. Yeah, but you can put anything in it. Yeah. Put an ender pearl in it. I guess you could. And you can go to where it is. It's also very vague as to what you can build in Minecraft and what you simply have to find

in Minecraft. Yeah, okay, yeah. I mean, I think all of those rules apply strictly to the game. I don't think they got any of that wrong, but I know what you mean. Yeah. For me, it felt ill-defined. I didn't know what... That's what I'm saying. It felt ill-defined. If you don't know the game, of that wrong, but I know what you mean. For me, it felt ill-defined. I didn't know what- That's what I'm saying.

It felt ill-defined. If you don't know the game, you're like, oh, what? So if you need wood, you have to collect the wood and then can you use infinite wood? Or can you use, is it a one-to-one wood collection scenario? Yeah, because the kid collected like one little block of wood and then he could make infinite blocks of wood. Yeah, and maybe that's the game. Maybe that is the game.

It depends on what, because there's different versions. There's like a creativity version where you can make it. And then as you go into the world and there's zombies, etc. But it was like, we've got to get the thing. Nobody ever says, can't I just make the thing? Yeah. Surely you would ask that at least once. You'd have to think about it though, wouldn't you?

You'd have to think about it, yeah. But you didn't hate it. No, I did. I didn't hate it, I guess, but it wasn't anything. You don't seem happy about it. I'm not happy about it, I wasn't anything. You don't seem happy about it. I'm not happy about it I don't think. What did you expect? Something better. I'll do some reviews while you're thinking about it. Okay I can't get like they needed to cut the scene where they go to his place and he's like look at all the stuff I've got.

Yeah. He should be like they should have like, they should have gone to his place. That chicken looked delicious. That square chicken. They ate the chicken and he's like I'm going to eat this hot chicken, don't it's too hot. Well I will. Oh it's too hot. Great. Good joke.

What it should have been is that they go to his place and he's just made like a sword or something. And he's like I wish I had a... I wish I could put three things together. And then the kid is like, well, you can. And then they build all the cool stuff at the end. I don't know. Yeah, it's because it's true.

He built a jet pack, but he built a gun out of like four things that he had. Yeah. You know, like, which is easy. Not a ton of crafting in this movie. No, but I guess that's the point of like, Minecraft is that yeah, it's not overly complicated to make it whatever. Yeah, you know, it's accessible to anybody can be creative even a screaming dummy You can even make a big tower out of wood

Yep, or a house made of pink shapes. Yep. Yeah look pretty nice though. I agree. Yeah Yeah, good for now. This is review some a base Basia who says, okay, I need to talk about the Minecraft movie. I just walked out of the theater a few minutes ago. I went with my kids and the cinema was packed. A screening was mostly 10-edged young adults and they were literally clapping and cheering every few minutes, which is not something that's common in Poland.

I don't know if my expectations were super low, but the movie was really fun. It's obviously aimed at a younger crowd, but I chuckled a few times. Jack Black and Jason Momoa were honestly funny. The kids were super low, but the movie was really fun. It's obviously aimed at a younger crowd, but I chuckled a few times. Jack Black and Jason Momoa were honestly funny. The kids were great too. I know there's a lot to hate from this movie, but I kind of liked it. Smiley face.

What do you think of that, Mason? You had a similar, similar, similar experience. She liked it. Luke says, so this is my son yesterday and honestly, it didn't work for either of us. The beginning was genuinely hilarious and both of us laughing but after that it became more increasingly bored. We both became increasingly bored. It picked up when they got to the first village but after that not so much.

I could tell my son didn't enjoy it because he kept asking how old everyone was. It embarrassed me. We watched Snow White when it came out and was enthralled. It was all throughout only talking and and he asked if she was dead, and then cheered when she woke up. For me, Jennifer Coolidge was a highlight, but also those things could have worked in an SNL Minecraft sketch.

I've got a weird sense it's gonna make a bucket load of cash, you are correct, as it was packed in all screens yesterday. Benjamin says, I went in with my lowest expectations, had such a great time. Definitely felt like Jack Black and Jason Momoa having fun time together and not taking it all too serious. Sleep a movie, in my opinion.

James says, there's no excuse for a movie being this horrendous. Kids movies, here we go, basically, this is a guy after your heart. Kids movies can still be good as well as a silly fun romp. The Lego movie being a prime example. Jack Black is doing his best to try and pretend like this movie notes it's bad and it's wearing its heart on its sleeve, but it doesn't work. Just a ghoulish, lazy product that occasionally casts a Jack Black shouting something in a silly way. The only slightly positive part of the movie was his tribute to Technoblade. I don't know what that is. Mitchell says, I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. It has about 70% good dialogue

that was actually fun and or clever and the story was meh and serviceable. There were some horrible green screen scenes like unacceptably bad. I didn't hate it. Best movie ever. There you go. Do you think that the people that the actors in this movie, do you think they knew what was happening? I mean, what do you think they just said? Say End of Pearl. Say, yeah, yeah. And they went, say Dungeon Man. We've got to get the End of Pearl. Yeah. And cut. All right. Yeah. All right. All right. Yeah, I think that's probably what happened. All in all, I think we can both agree that it's time to move on to the next segment That's so true and also when this review goes to YouTube, it's gonna be a horrible horrible comment section. Oh, yeah All right. Let what it wasn't my problem. No, what is the next section? It's not mine. It's called what we're reading

Yep, what we gonna read? Yep I'm doing the same I'm doing the same. This is a very popular segment of the show. It's where we talk about what we've been reading, watching, doing, saying, running around with. Very popular. Yeah. We're always saying things. We're fans of saying things.

What have you been saying lately? We're fans of running around and saying things. You'll never catch me copper, for example. Yeah. I'm the big boss of this town. Yeah. You know, and so forth. boss of this town. Yeah. See? Yeah. You know, and so forth.

You're doing an impression of that. We were doing that off air. We were. It's true. You can't bring that in here. Who was that? Is that Cagney? Is that James Cagney?

Yeah. It's like a... Yeah. Sure. Because it's... Your voice sounds that way because you're going to be cigar-gulling. I bet that was revolutionary at the time. They're like, wow, that guy.

He's changed the face of saying, yeah, see? She put an M at the front of it. It's gone crazy, this guy. Exactly. Hey, speaking of big time gangsters, I watched the first episode of Mobland. What's Mobland? It's a... Gnashy.

Gnashy. It's got Tom Hardy in it. It's got Piers Brosnan in it. It's on Amazon Prime, perhaps through Paramount Plus, I think. Paramount Prime. Paramount Prushy I think. Paramount Prushy. Hi. Paramount Prushy. And it's set in kind of the modern world of, you know, London gangsters and crime families and etc. Modern London? Modern London, yeah. Okay. It's pretty good so far. It's pretty compelling. One of the mob families has like a young kid who's, you know,

kind of out of control and he's causing a ruckus and they've got the first episode he stabs a guy and then the families have to work together to get rid of the problem. Oh, okay. Great. It's good fun so far. I think Tom Hardy's producing it. Oh, okay.

And he's in it, isn't he? Yeah. I knew it because you said it earlier. He's a general problem solver of one of the guys. Yeah. One of the gangs, rather of one of the one of the guys Yeah, one of the one of the gangs rather one of the gangs and the guys I one thing I've downloaded and purchased but I have not yet read yet. There's a daredevil cold day in hell story It's like about an older daredevil. Okay, Charles. Sue. Oh, yeah I've got that lined up ready to go. I haven't had a chance to read it yet

Uh-huh, but I am all now caught up on the white lotus season. I see I don't familiar with the white lotus Mason, but it's incredibly popular. I watched season 1. I remember you saying that you watched season 1 and you're yet to watch season 2 or 3. Did you remember that from moments ago when I said that? I've just got that kind of memory. I just remember things. Yeah, that's true, actually.

So, you know, maybe. But I think I really like season 2. Jennifer Coolidge was a highlight for me, but I think season three is stronger than two in general I think the characters are more just awful. Okay awful and interesting as Patrick Schwarzenegger does Yeah, he's doing these great in it like just a real just a not just I mean, they're all awful in different ways Sure, particularly smart and awful man who? Just up to some crook stuff mate. Now, there's no crossover because they're all the White Lotus is a it's a chain of hotels. Yes. And there are crossover characters because one of the characters who Jennifer Coolidge

promises money to in that season pops up in this season. So she's the recurring character in this. So she's got there's like multiple story like Jason Isaacs in it. It's great. It's just really good and upsetting. And it's also Goggins isn't it? Yeah, I love the setting as well. tights, Thailand, I think it's Thailand. Yeah. Or to Goggins great sound Rockwell shows up for a couple episodes, Leslie Bibbs in it, Carrie Coons in it. It's Yeah, it's just um, did you see Carrie Coon had did an interview this week? Yeah, she was like, they didn't

pay me for second. Yeah, I didn't do it I didn't do the second Avengers I didn't do Avengers endgame because they were like they promised more money for for a second movie It's on it's like that. What are they they call the stairway? Yeah contract or something like that If we if you do a subsequent movie get paid more and they're like we're paying you the same which is like Yes, also she got the best of both worlds because she's in Avengers Infinity War, but nobody knows she's in Avengers Infinity War.

No, that's true. Nobody recognizes her at all. That's a good point. She's not famous. But the character is in the character is in Endgame, but she doesn't say anything. Yeah, which is probably by design. But yeah, I don't know. I think there is like something about the opulence as well when you're in like a third

world country as opposed to when it's like the second one season is set in Italy. Right. There is that the disparity is like bigger which I think works. Like bigger jokes. Yeah, it was like a strength of the show. It talks about like Buddhism and there's a number of different things going on here. And it opens with a like a murder has been committed, a shooting it seems. Isn't there always a murder?

And then it kind of jumps back and then you work up to hell. Wow. And the last episode, we're up to the last episode now and then it kind of jumps back and then you work up to hell. And the last episode, we're up to the last episode now and then it's gonna all unfold. Also the finale hasn't happened yet. No. Should I catch up? I would. Should I watch two seasons tomorrow? Yeah, you could. Yeah. I guess I could. I caught up on Daredevil. I'm enjoying Daredevil. Daredevil's great. Enjoying it. I caught up on, what did I catch up on? I watched Reacher, final episode of Reacher. Okay. He finally killed Bigger Reacher. How'd he do it?

He beat him up a lot. Yeah. And then he drowned him. Yeah. That's classic Reacher. I mean, a lot of good guys died in the meantime. Cool. Did he give him the old Reacher around?

Is that how he got him? No. Did they 69? No, they didn't do that. No. But it is quite fun. Hollywood's gone soft. I know they let up.

I know that all the marketing let up. The whole bit was like, it's a guy bigger than Reacher, but it is quite fun. Hollywood's gone soft. I know they let up. I know that all the marketing let up. The whole bit was like it's a guy bigger than Reacher, but it really was fun to watch Alan Richsons as Reacher, six foot three, get tossed around like a rag doll by this guy who's insane. A hundred feet tall. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was fun. Cool. So you would recommend me watching that flight scene on YouTube?

Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Because I don't like that show that much. Yeah, fair enough. Yeah. I also watched What is Currently Out of the Studio, which is the... Oh, I was going to talk... I mentioned that last week, but it's...

We've got a question that... We've got a letter with a ties in part later. Oh, I'll talk about it, yeah. Okay, great. But we can talk about it now. Let's talk about it then. All right then. Wow, we've been doing so many things.

I agree. We're so prolific in our consumption of media. That is very... That's the most important thing. We're like content bins That's right gobbling it up We're like do you remember the phone book man that would eat the phone books in the 90s the phone book recycle bin? Vaguely, I do. Yes, we're like that but it's would you say we're like the bag from tuck a bag the tuck a bag

I thought a bag didn't consume In the rate that you're thinking. Yeah, I know, but he did. They presumably put groceries in him. Yeah. And he took the groceries to other people. So I think as a metaphor, I think that kind of works. I don't know.

I think he just worked at the store. I don't think he did any work. Did I tell you that my brother met Tucker bag? No, I think you did. But tell the listeners. Well, he told me. Which brother? The one you like.

Okay, great. Because Tucker Bag is a local icon. Sure. Tucker Bag is a was, it's a fucking supermarket chain. It was, yes. Yeah, anyway, if you go to any of the, if you type in Tucker Bag on YouTube and go to any of the commercials,

you might see maybe some comments from me from years ago. Wow. So yeah, maybe just have a look if you want, if you're interested in Tuckabag. And who wouldn't be at this point? He's the carrier of content. Correct. That should bring him back as Tuckabag, the carrier of content.

Yeah, he could. He could definitely do it. Yeah. Wow. Mason, should we move it along? He could be voiced by Kumail Nanjiani. Do you think? I think so. Yeah good. He's got a nice voice doesn't he? Yeah, soothing. Yeah. Alright Mason what's next? It's letters. What? Is that the letter? It's now the time for that? People letter in letters. They send them in and we play the theme for letters. We let them The classic one was letters, letters, we letters, we love you. Letters, they're only the take away.

We know they're here right now, we're going to do letters. Just talking about some old classic Tucker bag commercials, mate. Oh yeah, nice, great. Yeah. Have I really reopened a classic world for you? Yeah, I love Tucker bag. No, I just look at this stuff from this year and just the way supermarkets look and yuck. What a bad time.

I mean it's bad now, but this is old and that's bad too. If you don't want to miss this show, it's as simple as typing Tucker Bag into your local YouTube channel. That's right. You go to weeklyplanetpod.gmall.com, you send a gmod of that, or hit us up in the great mates group, put a thread up, you know, before the show goes out and you can type a question and maybe I'll answer that question. Hey, speaking of Tucker, here's an email from Tucker. Tucker Bag. Just says Tucker. Tucker Bag, did you really meet my brother?

It says Tucker in Waco, Texas. Do you think Tucker Bag could have moved, could have relocated? He could have relocated, sure. Yeah. You know, Texas is, you know, warm. It's good for bags. It's good for bags. It's good for bags. Good for bags.

Anyway, good to see you, Tucker Bag. Howdy, boys. He's got the lingo. Hello, Tucker Bag. I've been listening to the show since middle school. You should do the Tucker Bag voice. Hi, I'm Tucker Bag. Or whatever.

Is that what he talked? Can you do that? No, he talks like Kamau Lajihani. Oh, yeah. I won't do that voice. I've been listening to the show since middle school. Whoa. Wrapping up my first year of college, trying to become an attorney.

Whoa, must be nice. If you're a tuck-a-bag. Recently I read the book Live from New York by James R. Rimmel and Tom Schowels, which covers the history of Saturday Night Live. Yeah, okay. It's a great read if you enjoy stories about executives pointlessly meddling in multi-million dollar

television shows. Kind of, yeah. I was wondering, do you guys have any favorite movies or TV shows about Hollywood or show business in general? Yeah, I got a few. Some of my favorites, he says, that come to mind are Robert Altman's The Player and Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Yep, that's definitely up there. I love The Kid Stays in the Picture, which is the bloody, it's by Bloody...

God, this guy. I know it. It's Robert. What's his name? What? Bloody... Robert Evans. Thank you. And, um... God, this guy. I know it. Robert. What's his name? What? Bloody... Robert Evans. Thank you. It's his biography. I forget we have that.

Yeah, he's a famous Hollywood producer. He's, you know, he wrote an autobiography. There's an audiobook version. There's a documentary version. You can check it out. It's probably for on YouTube, if you want want to check it out. Okay, great. It's some pretty crazy stuff. I would say Entourage.

Oh, yeah, that's a good one. That's a great insight into Hollywood. Speaking of, I watched the first episode of the studio and the studio is I think what Entourage thinks it is. Like it's an actual kind of skewering it seems of... They're not just winning all the time. Yeah, right. It's just like, we didn't get the deal. Oh no, we did. And it's better than ever.

Twice as much. Yeah, that's right. And it comes with twice as many babes. Whoa, those guys get enough babes. Come on, leave some for the rest of us. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The studios, yeah, I enjoyed that episode, the first episode at least, quite a lot. This isn't a fun one, but there's a movie called She Said, which is about uncovering the Harvey Weinstein scandal,

which is very good and grim. And Hail Caesar, I think. Oh, Hail Caesar's terrific. It's really good. It's kind of a, I wouldn't say off forgotten, but it's not one of the more popular Coen Brothers movies, but I think it's great. And it's got a fun dance sequence with Channing Tatum, among other things. Yeah, yeah. And he's a communist. Yeah. Yeah. And in the things. Yeah, yeah. And he's a communist. Yeah.

Yeah. And in the movie. Yeah, that's right. I got a question here, Mason. Go on. This is from Philip Tuttle, who says, you happy with that? Tut, tut, tuttle. Yeah.

With the weird amount of hate I have seen about Gunn's Superman, what movies do you think were overshadowed by goofy negative attention that actually turned out good? I think once a movie comes out that and if it is good, you forget all that nonsense. The people that are still there trying to shout over it going, well, actually it's bad because blah, blah, blah. They start to seem a little bit foolish. I think there was a lot of that behind Barbie. Yes, absolutely. I mean we're looking at it in the next couple of weeks,

but the first Bourne movie was a nightmare to make, and kind of barely came together. Titanic, famously, really troubled production. Well, we actually recently did a commentary on Jaws, bigsandwich.co, that was a nightmare to make. Yeah, of course. We talk about that if you want to check it out. Mad Max Fury Road.

I remember even before that coming out, it was like, or before I saw the trailer, like why are they even doing this? Oh, Blood, Sweat and Chrome. That's a great book on the creation. Yeah, there you go. There's a lot of media and it's Hollywood, but it's also Australia.

People check that out. It's a bunch of interviews and sort of diaries and observations and all sorts of stuff about the making of, there's also that MCU book, which I got a lot of. Oh yeah, you read that MCU book which I oh, yeah Oh also, I've never seen the movie but the disaster artists the oh, yeah Okay, the book based on the creation of the room. Yes, I saw by written by the the guy Greg Sestero. Yeah start in it. Yeah, that's a good. That's what I was thinking of earlier

I've not seen the adaptation with some of the Frankos and yeah those guys but Which is good. I don't know if it's good. One of the Frankos seems good. Yep. The other one is James Franco. I would even say even monetarily like Avatar 2. I mean I'm sure we talked about this as well of like is this gonna be anything? Does anyone care about Avatar? It turns out yeah. Everybody does. Everybody does quite a's right, yeah. Quite a lot. And again, in the aftermath, people are going, oh, you still like these giant blue people, do you? I mean, yeah.

A lot of people do. I think it's also one of those franchises that outside of when I'm in the cinemas, I don't think about it. I'm not like, what's next for Avatar? I'm like, yeah, I'll see it when it comes out, but I'm not following this. And that's this year, right? It's this year. I'm not following, what's next for Avatar. I'm like, yeah, I'll see it when it comes out, but I'm not following this. And that's this year, right? This year. I'm not following it religiously.

But James Cameron's wife saw it and she cried for four hours or whatever. We talked about it a few weeks back. Got another letter, Mason. Here's an email from Taz. I'll allow it. Hey y'all. Hey.

Y'all. Y'all. With VR seemingly on the decline in recent years, I was wondering if there was any gimmick media tech that was hated by most that you guys actually liked or wish stuck around for longer Personally, I'm a fan of VR and I'm sad to see it slowly fizzle into the backseat It's a 3d TVs curved screens voice control. I hate smell a vision voice control also has some like Accessibility kind of benefits obviously so like I'm glad it exists but yeah I don't I don't like it I don't like Google Home or Apple fucking tells

you the weather I hate all that shit yeah I hate it if you have to download a driver for something that is or an app for something that is like completely mechanically controlled yeah like oh you got to download an app for your dryer. Yeah, I'm not going to do that. No. I'll just... Like my toothbrush can link to my phone. Like, why would I do that?

I know how a fucking toothbrush works. It wouldn't do you though. I'm figuring it out. Yeah, that's what I thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But if you keep using the app, you'll forget how to brush your teeth. It's true.

But like, it's just... Does it use the technology from Heavy Raid? So it brings up the guy. I don't know. I haven't looked it up yet. Up and down, back and forth. Yeah, it's just... Yeah, I don't... Like, I understand the benefit of Google Home. I get why people have it, but I just hate the idea of just that in my house. And look, I have a smartphone. The technology is not different like at all, but I don't like any of that.

Um, I would say Google that works. Yeah. Google that works was nice. Wasn't it? And like, do you remember that golden era where we were like, Oh, the great thing about the internet is everything you put on the internet stays around forever.

Yeah. Like, Oh, there's an archive of For good or ill. Yeah, exactly. Or what, you know, old magazines or something like that. And you're like, oh, it'll just be there forever. And then you go and check and it's gone. Yeah. You know what I mean? Who knows what's going on there, Mason? So, I don't know, internet. I don't know. I mean, I like VLC player. It's pretty good. Plays anything. Still sticking around. It's

great. Yeah. For me, it's like does it contain Russian does it contain Russians by way? Maybe doesn't matter plays everything streams to my TV. What a work or does it not it does work Yeah, and you don't have to keep yeah, I mean that I don't ask for an update. No allow it Yeah, you can update my problem. Yeah, I'll give that I guess the the gimmick media that I miss is when you could buy a product And it just and it was you just owned it And yeah, subscribe to absolutely and it like big sandwich and it just and it was you just owned it and yeah to subscribe to it absolutely and Like big sandwich dot-co and it was the thing. Yeah. Yeah, like god I hate assembling shit as well and that's been for ages

You know you buy like a desk and you got to put it together and it's like I know it's cuz it's for stories And they flat pack and it's a delivery. I understand that I hate Building shit like that. I think you should pick up stuff from the side of the road. I know I should like a normal person and I will and I do. Like I don't any of that any kind of lock. You got to buy something. There's some fucking thing you can subscribe to forever. Boy, this letter has really set you on a spiral, James.

It's that idea of just I've talked about it. We talked about the Mario clock. Just this like tacked on shit for like, I just need the most basic version of this, you know, and my phone. Yes, absolutely. That is everything that I do. If I don't have my phone, I will die. So... You're a smartwatch guy?

No. Yeah, because you're a watch guy, but you're not a... Yeah. I look at my phone enough. I don't, I don't want to, you know. Yeah, same. You don't want to look at, you don't want to get a text message from your mom on your wrist exactly which is like what Nick Mason what are you up to? That's exactly what I'm up to. None of your beeswax. Get out of here.

And nothing. Get off my watch. Get out of it. What technology, I like the PlayStation I toy remember that. Oh, yeah Sure, fine. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know man. Yeah, that's it Same I don't miss joysticks, you know like joystick video game. Oh, sure. Yeah, uh-huh flights him shit Maybe they're better. They're probably better now Don't use them. Anyway, I got a I got a letter here Mason go on Sean says Do you think Superman? Fantastic foreign Jurassic world being released in three weeks will impact all their box office and who comes out on top? I mean, just from looking at it now, I would say it would be Jurassic World Superman then Fantastic Four, but Superman is gaining a lot of traction and Jurassic World will probably

be, I don't know, average or the same. I don't know. I hope it's better than that. But you think Fantastic Four will be the lowest? Yeah, I do. I don't know, that could change. I think there's also a chance that they could build on each other. There could be momentum.

They might not cancel each other out. They might just result in a bigger summer of people seeing more things. Potentially. I don't, it depends on how good they are. Fantastic Jurassic Man. We get that going. Fan-dress-man. Hashtag fan-dress-man? Fan-dress-man. Fan-dress-man. Fan get that going. You know? Fan dress man. Hashtag fan dress man. Fan

dresser. Fan dresser. What do you think? Yeah, I don't know. I kind of feel like how close are they? Like within days? Three weeks, yeah. I don't know, man. I think, because at this point, I think people are just budgeting for one movie. Well, that's the other thing. A month. And everything is going into a big toilet. Yeah. And has been steadily for quite a while. But we're having some big toilet moments. Big toilet moments. And not in a good way young people. If you're here for the skit for the Fortnite review. What is it? Minecraft we talk about? Whatever it is. Fuckin' hell. Where this is a toilet moment in a good way. No it's not. It's been a bad one. They're doing square poos in Minecraft? Is it square turd? What do you think?

Yeah. Okay great. But what do you think will be the biggest? Here, Jurassic World. Yeah. That's because that's a guarantee. Yeah. Although what's guaranteed these days. Exactly. But it's not gonna present, it doesn't present any surprises, it's not gonna reinvent the wheel in terms of what you get from a Jurassic Park movie. Very true. They're all roughly the same quality, every single one of them. But Superman, wild card, you know, you would hope that people would go, oh, look, it looks fun and colorful and maybe it's good and probably it's good.

Yeah. I'm just checking the release dates of these. So Pedro Pascal, this will be the real ironclad test for whether the internet, the real life follows the internet and everybody loves Pedro Pascal. I think it's also people that are kind of MCU kind of... Fatigue? Yeah, maybe. But maybe people are like, well, we've got to watch this if we want to know what's happening

in Avengers... If people care. So it's actually, so it's Jurassic World on the third, followed by Superman on the 10th and then the 24th it's Fantastic Four. So there's a week between Superman and Fantastic Four. Which I think that bodes well for Superman, if anything, because Superman will have a week of, yeah, I don't know. I don't know how this is going to go.

It's going to be interesting. Yeah. Also, I think this will be a good litmus test for people. Do they love a scrappy little dog? Yeah. Yeah. I think they do. It's the air bud effect. Air bud effect. I got another one Mason. I got one more email. Lewis. Lewis. Hi James and Mason. I hope you're both doing well. Yeah, we're doing great. We're good. And we're good friends. And we've remained good friends. So true.

Since we did this podcast and probably after. Yes. There's no trouble here. If that's what he's implying. Who? Lewis? Yeah. He did say, hope you're both doing well and there's a full stop.

I don't like that. That's a very dad text. Hope you're doing well, full stop. You ever get a text from your you're doing well, full stop. You ever get a text from your dad and it's like, call soon, full stop, and you're like, oh, somebody's died. You call me?

Yeah, somebody's died and then you call up and they're like, do you wanna have lunch? Yeah. You're like, yeah, you could have said that in the text. Well, I thought you were dead and I didn't have to go to lunch. It's just so disappointing. Yep.

Lewis says, hope you've reviewed hundreds, maybe thousands of movies and TV shows the years maybe. Maybe. But which movie and which TV show do you want to see the most? Oh! This is very broad. They could be an original idea, adaptation, sequel, etc. I would love to see an animated series of the Silmarillion and a sequel to Master and Commander. That's what Lewis says. Oh man, I'll take a Master and Commander. You know what I would like? What? They're gonna have to, they're gonna have to recast for a bunch of reasons, but I think they should

do a sequel to Payback. With Mel Gibson. The Mel Gibson movie. Isn't there a reboot of that with Statham? Parker, yeah. I'd like a good one, though. Oh, that one's not good. I can't remember if it ain't good. I'm saying it. I remember really liking Payback.

Yeah. So there's a character called... Mel Gibson. Mel Gibson. Now, there's a character called Parker written by an author named Richard Stark I only bring this up because the a famous artist passed away this week and he did a bunch of like pulp novels He did a bunch of James Bond Covers off on the artist name here Robert McGinnis, so he did he did the famous casino Royale.. Oh did he? And that's the original one? Yeah. How old was this guy? He was 91. But he does a bunch of these kind of like when you think

oh if you were to think... Quintessential. If you were to get AI to churn out a pulp novel cover it would steal from the best and that's Robert McGinnis. Oh, he did so much good Bond stuff. Yeah, yeah, but he did... This guy's art's awesome. Yeah, incredible. And he did a bunch of covers for like the Richard Stark novels, like the original run. But Parker is a really interesting character, I think. Like he's a professional thief and a generally very bad guy. These novel covers are good. And he's been adapted a bunch of times. Yeah. Was Lee Marvin in one? He might have been. Yeah. Yeah, he would have been. Or was that just a, no, this is a Richard Stark book, Point Blank. I don't know whether it was Lee Marvin. Oh, Point Blank, yeah. Point Blank, I think was,

they renamed the Hunter. Anyway, it's not important. But again, I'd, yeah, like I think they should do another, yeah, one of them was adapted to payback, which is where Mel Gibson, he just wants some some money back. Yeah. And he instead of he gets some of his money gets stolen by the mob. But instead of taking the mob for all their worth, he's just like, I want to get the money I'm owed back and then I'll leave you alone. And he just has to.

Yeah. He wants 10 grand or whatever. Yeah. He just fights his way through. Yeah. Like an entire city's worth of mob in forces to get his money back. But he's having a bad time.

He's having a bad time. It's not like he's not killing 100 men every day. No, no, but I would like to see another one of those. Monica... Maria Ballo, not Monica. Lucy losing that? That's great. Yeah, cool.

All right. I got one here, Mason, it's from Kevin, who says, do guests reach out to you or do you reach out to them and why? Guests reach out to us. Yeah, generally, but also like, a lot of people just have an open invitation. Sure. So just in case if they have something they want to talk about or promote, yeah, they're welcome anytime. But we try not to do too many guest episodes. Because we don't like them to get yelled at.

Some people don't like that. Correct. But also the people that we have on as guests, they generally know them and so, and we like talking to them. We like having a chat with them. That's right, yeah. Yeah. But we do get people reach out, we don't know, like, I'd love to talk about this.

And it's like, we don't know you or that. Sure, yeah. So no. Yeah, yeah. Though maybe we're guesting on a podcast this week that people have been requesting, Me and You, the Friends Per Second podcast. That's right, maybe. Maybe. And then if that goes the Friends Per Second podcast. That's right. Maybe. Maybe. And if that goes well, Joe Rogan. That's right. We're one step away. So that's going to be really fun. Those guys are all great.

And hopefully that happens. We've teed it up this week, but you know, I don't want to say definitively, but it seems like it is happening. Maybe tariffs will ruin it. I hope so. I hope so too. Yeah.
