The Weekly Planet. 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, Nick Mason. What a terrific time to be alive. You got something to say, don't you? Oh, I always do. You can't bloody stop me.

Yeah? Yeah. Yeah? I mean, you can hit stop on that. I mean, but that wouldn't stop you. You could keep going. That's true. You could even edit this out.

What am I saying? What am I doing? You're just talking. Oh, that's true. This podcast that you're on. You can't stop me, can you? No, I can't. That's right. Unstoppable force. Yeah. Meets an immovable object. Stop button. Yeah. Okay. Well, Mason, it's a big week, isn't it? Yes. So many movies around, but we chose Until Dawn. Until Dawn. Until Dawn. That's great. It's Dawn. You're confused there because we could have chosen The Accountant. The Accountant, yes, that's right. We could have watched Novocaine, but I mean, that's great. It's Dawn. You're confused there because we could have chosen the accountoons. The accountoons, yes, that's right. We could have watched Novocaine, but I mean that's out of the public consciousness of this one.

Havoc is out maybe. Havoc is out on Netflix. No, it is, yeah. Have them watch that one. We could have watched Andor's Andor episodes 1 to 3, which we did, but we'll probably do a bigger recap on that. Actually, we do have a question at the very end about a particular scene. Andor season tooned.

That's right. But that's right, Mason, untuned, untuned Dawn. Why? Is it a sequel to the game? Sort of. It's a prequel to the game. Is it? Maybe. Maybe.

We'll talk about it. And everybody has played the game, thinks it sucks. Said it's bad, it is terrible. If you do want to skip to any of that, there are time codes below, but of course we've got the news up top. We're going to talk about the first reactions to the Thunderbolts movie, which is out next week. We'll be talking about big Marvel movie. You excited for that? They're saying movies are back, specifically Marvel movies are back.

Yep. And we're all back. Well, I thought it was back with the last one that came out. You were wrong. Was I? Yeah. But I said it was a movie. You were wrong though.

I went to the movies. No, you were. I saw it and everyone was running around. Let me be clear. If you finished. I'm finished. You're wrong. Okay. Yeah. Movies weren't back. And maybe if you will listen back to that episode, maybe I did say movies were back. I don't think you did.

But in retrospect, movies were not back. I don't think either. Hey, look, my son liked it. So movies are back for him. Movies are back for sinners. That's so true. That's going very well. Yeah. We're also going to talk about some rumors, both good and bad, for that new Star Wars movie with Ryan Goosling in it.

I see. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I heard any rumors about it this week. Well, there's so many rumors. Are you making these up? There's one rumor about it, Mason, two-ish. And it's cancelled? No, it's happening.

It seems to be happening. Is that the rumor that it's happening? That is the rumor. That's what people, that's the scuttle-bun. Insiders are saying the thing that was announced is happening. We're going to talk about Sam Jackson returning to the Star Wars universe. Would you like that? I guess. Would you like that?

If I have the choice between liking it or not liking it? You like it. I guess I like it. Cool. Don't you want to see him re-team with whoever and do a fight? But he's got one hand. So re-teaming with those other Jedi that got killed really easily. But they're back somehow. They're ghosts. Okay so what are they gonna do in the team? You should have stopped us from being stabbed. Just whinging. Yeah you just step back and let us get stabbed. Then you had a cool fight. So Mace could have

caught the first couple of lightsaber blades in his chest or head. I think so, he probably could have. Exactly. We'll talk about that. Then we're going to talk about a couple of trailers. One for Weapons, which is Zack Craig's next movie. He of course directed Barbarian. But I feel like he's directed several movies in between because every second horror movie is like, from the mind of Barbarian Man. But it'd be normally produced or whatever. Conan the Barbarian. That's right. Yeah and

Predator Badlands, which is a very interesting it seems you pray interesting and then of course we're going to talk about the Sinners box office and What the trades are saying how it's the death of Hollywood, etc It's right you're doing exceptionally well, which is very funny is this some amount of there was a very very funny. There was a very dismissive article from Variety that was very dismissive of its clear success. Absolutely. And then they seem to have been doing a little bit of backtracking over the last week. They should be. And then until dawn, et cetera. Oh, but also. Yeah, Mason, you've got to plug some stuff. I've got some things to say and you can't stop me except in all the ways you were previously. I can't even imagine pressing stop on this and then having to start it again.

Because then there'd be two files. Oh my God. You'd have to email two files. Oh, Collings would be like, why are there two files? And then he'd fire me. That's right. That's right. Yeah, yeah, which he can do.

It's in his contract. Yeah, I think it's good. It catches on our toes. I think so too. I am on this week's episode of Thumbacrabs. Well, that's video games. That's right. And I'm a huge fan of video games, as you know, and I've played themacramps. Well that's video games. That's right. And I'm a huge fan of video games as you know and I play them a lot.

You've never played video games. I've played. The last video game you probably played was a Monkey Island something. That's exactly what I talked about on the podcast. I knew it. Also I think you told me that. That's right. The last game I played and finished.

So we talk about that extensively. Yeah. Will you watch me play that Jason Bourne game? Does that count? It doesn't come up. BigSandwich.co That's right. It's Joel and Jackson. They're talking about video games in a very, very, very irreverent

way if you can imagine such a thing. I've been on it. And we have a good time. And stay till the end for my best impression yet. Did you meet Mr. Ads? I did meet Mr. Ads, but I have met him before. Fantastic. We met him at the live show. He threw feastables at us. Oh, yeah, he did. I didn't get any festival I've never had a feast of balls. They're better. Yeah, they were great Well that unless this since gotten worse that means I'm gonna get some okay, so I love that mr. Beast Amazon show

I'm just kidding. It's absolutely unwatchable What would I think are you excited for his appearance in Love, Death and Robots? I've stopped watching that show many seasons ago. So this is going to reinvigorate your interest. Probably, yeah. That's what I thought. Is he some kind of game show hosting man in the future? I think so, yeah.

Is it actually him? I think so. Or is it like they put his brain into a TV screen or something? The more questions you ask, the less sure I am that it's actually him. Okay, great. I think I saw something that he was in that. I don't know, it might have been on Twitter and I don't know what's going on there. Yeah. Anyway, thumb cramps, good time. What a delightful time. Wonderful.

We also, Mason, went on the Friends Per Second podcast, which was also video games. This episode features Ralph from Skill Up, Jake Baldino from Game Ranks, and Alana Pierce from just video games in general, including God of War Ragnarok, among other things. And there's also a surprise guest, just briefly, that's not just us, but we are on it together. It's Mr. Beast. Mr. Beast pops in. Mr. Beast is there, then Mr. Ads is there. It's incredible.

Yeah, wild stuff. So we talked about video game to movie adaptations and just kind of podcasting and like the industry in general. And it was a blast. It was a lot of fun. So that is on the Skill Up YouTube channel. Now or potentially later. That's right. Exactly.

Yeah. Those guys are awesome and they all do different things in relation to video games, but they come together every two weeks to do this podcast and yeah, it was a blast. Also we're on video and we managed to figure it out and by we I mean me. That's right. It looks good. Because it was delayed the first time because I had some technology problems but now there were no technology problems were there? Absolutely not. Yeah. So those things are all linked below. Alright Mason let's get into this. Okay. The first reaction to Thunderbolt's asterix are in. Pazow! People

are saying Marvel's back. They're saying Pizow! People are saying Marvel's back. They're saying Pizow! Best since Endgame. Did you think this universe was dead? Did you stop caring about these characters? That's right. We control C, control V, the best movie since Endgame from all our previous reviews. Whoa! We put it in this review. Unbelievable. But this time we mean it. Yeah. It says the best one since Endgame asterisk, this time we mean it. Yeah. We're not trying to trick you again This one is real. That's right Now, of course all the first responses have been very positive that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Oh, yes literally always happens

I mean when you saw Captain America brave new bird, you said movies are back I did say we know as a first reaction that was wildly off and it was back deranged is what I was probably one of My favorite movies of the year in terms of box office which is true okay because the box office was middling yeah I think it's money back okay which is incredible but it's also it's still it might be the highest grossing movie of the year still as of so far yeah I don't know but they've seemingly pulled out all the stops in terms of the marketing this time around Florence Pugh jumped off the second there's in the world.

There's way more real stuff in this than I thought. You know that explosion that you see behind her when she's completing that mission? That's a real explosion I just saw. So this is me doing marketing for free for this movie. Seems that way, yeah. This movie that if you're listening to this, you're probably going to see, or at least read the Wikipedia synopsis. All the spoilers are out. I haven't read any of them about what the Thunderbots means and the asterisks and the villains and post credits and everything.

I've got to stay off the socials. But can I? I believe you're going to the Melbourne screening, is that right? Yes. I might not be able to. The single Melbourne screening. That's right. The one showing in Melbourne. That's it. But you know, I'll take my son and we'll go hang out

and he'll have the goddamn time of his life as he did with Captain America, Big Red Bird. Do you think he's going to stand up and chew and Taskmaster is torn to shreds? Oh my God, he's so excited. He's going to be like, who's that? Which I don't know for sure because I haven't read the spoilers, obviously. Yeah. But I mean, she's getting torn to shreds. That's what happens. Are you excited for this? Because I, this is the one of the Marvel movies this year. is the one I am looking forward to. You know why could also I think because it is so Personality driven. Yeah, seemingly and it's all the personalities are awful grubs. Yeah, I like that a lot

Well Ryan Reynolds came out this week and said Green Lantern's bad and it was bad and cost a lot of money Can you believe I did one bad movie? Yeah Can you believe that one mistake I made? You did IF Ryan Reynolds. Yeah. Recently. Yeah. It's just lucky for you that that entire thing got memory hold and nobody can tell it apart from any of those other movies that are like that. Was Tim Allen in that? Was it a Christmas movie? We don't know. We don't know. It's gone. Yeah. It's gone to the four winds. What if your memories had secrets but also was your friend? That's right. Yeah. Was that live action or completely CG?

Was that Pixar? Was it Disney? I don't know. He's just hidden in there. Yeah. He's smack away. Yeah. You dog Ryan Reynolds.

Crazy. Anyway, he was like, what the lesson that he learned from Green Lantern while they were spending a bunch of money on all the stuff, what it looks like, et cetera. It was like, maybe we should spend no money and take a beat to like write some dialogue. Interesting. That's a great point. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's moviemaking, or it can be.

Sometimes it isn't. Yeah. Yeah. Parallax is right behind me, isn't he? Yeah. For example, for a free bit of dialogue, you can put that back. You can just ADR that in. Easy.

Yeah, exactly. Next one's not free. No. Yeah. You don't have another idea though. I don't have another idea, no, but that's what I'm saying. The sheer mental workload it would take for me to come up with another one as good as that.

Yeah. That would cost money. Completely agree. This one's by Daniel Richmond. Hey, you're a big clatter piss. That'll cost you. You like Star Wars news? No.

Well, here's some Star Wars news. Here's two bits of Star Wars news? No. Well, here's some Star Wars news. Here's two bits of Star Wars news. Daniel Richmond, as you know, on the Marvel studio spoilers reddit has a 78.35% accuracy rating. Has that gone up recently or down? That's about where it's at. So that's a pretty good sound thing. It's more than a coin flip. It's true.

It's a B plus. Yeah. Nothing wrong with that. Anyway, so in terms of the movie Star Wars Starfighter, which is the one they announced last week, it's Sean Levy who directed Deadpool versus Wolverine. And it's, and it is these synopsis apparently follows a 15 year old boy on a mission with his uncle played by Ryan Gosling. They've been pursued by a duo of villains, one male, one female.

So this is where things get interesting because Jesse Plemons and Jodie Comer were initially offered the villain roles but declined. Mikey Madison was later approached for the female lead but also passed. Another key role is the boy's mother, possibly Gosling's sister-in-law, though it's unclear. Sarah Snook was offered that part but she turned it down. Greta Lee was considered for another female role as a Cantina owner. The leads encounter on their mission but she too declines. So from this alone, five pretty prominent names went, no thank you, no Star Wars.

Interesting, okay. Not with Gosling, no thank you. I do wonder whether this is a, because they are doing this one on the cheap, whether this is a wage thing as well. Because I don't think any of these people are like, against, would be against it appearing. Or maybe it is just like, did we think this sucks and I don't want to do it? Maybe it's a time against it appearing or maybe it is just like did we think this sucks And I don't know it's a time commitment thing Yeah, maybe like you can't Sign on to any other projects during this time period and people looking at things like blade and all the other cancelled Star Wars But blades happening. Oh, yeah, that's good. No this week last week. They're like, no, it's not happening

Yeah, yeah, and this week I think the composer came out and said yeah flying lotus said Lotus said, yeah, it was going to be real cool. Yeah. And who else did? Who was in Sinners? It was, um, uh, Michael B. Jordan was in it. No, he's not. Michael C. Jordan. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Delroy Lindo said he was, he was in it. I think they'd, uh, they'd worked on some stuff, but, uh, it's too late. Was he going to be Whistler? He was going to be Whistler. I like Whistler. Yeah. Anyway, all in all, Ryan Gosling's Starfighter movie. It is happening. That's right.

What would you call him? Jake Starfighter or something? I wouldn't say that. Ryan Starfighter? You said this last week. No, I didn't say anything last week. You didn't have any opinions on anything last week? Listen back.

Okay. I'm not on it at all. Oh, wow. Yeah. You memory holding this? No, I was there. Is this the movie If but a podcast? No, I was there, but if you really think about it, you'll realize I didn't say anything.

I simply sat there and you just kept talking. Spinning my wheels. Spinning those wheels. Yeah, okay. Yeah, yeah. That's exciting for me. I think so too. Mason, this is via the Happy Sad Confused podcast.

Oh, is that all the Star Wars news? No, this is also Star Wars news. Oh. Just get excited for me. I think so too. Mason, this is via the Happy Sad Confused podcast. Oh, is that all the Star Wars news? No, this is also Star Wars. Oh! Just get excited for once! Why can't you just love Star Wars as much as everybody does, which is nobody anymore? I don't know. Why can't I just love Star Wars as much as all the people that hate everything that comes out of Star Wars?

Bryce Dallas Howe was talking about Samuel L. Jackson. Okay. And as we know, he played Mace Windu and he was killed, allegedly, apparently, in the last Star Wars movie. What are you, the Emperor's lawyer? Now as we know, he was allegedly killed. You even did the finger quotes. Allegedly killed.

Let's not commit to anything, right? We just don't fall a great distance, minus a head. That doesn't mean anything. Now, my client was simply attempting to recharge some light globes in his fancy floating apartment or whatever he lives in. And he was doing that utilizing a skill he learned as a businessman, lightning from the hands. And Mace Windu, I mean, first of all, he ended without a warrant. Yeah, not okay.

Not on at all. Yeah. And then, then he leapt from the, he leapt from the balcony. And his hand fell off. And his hand fell off, I'll say. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Possible drug use. Who's to say? Who is to say? I'm, you know, objection overruled. All right. Strike it from the record. We all know. Yeah, that sounds about right.

She said, Sam Jackson has been incredibly supportive of me and he's told me many times that he would act in something that I directed. And then I went straight to Dave Filoni, Cowboy Hats Star Wars. And I was like, I love Cowboy Hats Star Wars, so let's talk about Mace Windu and where he is. Because is he dead? Is he? So what do you think Mason? Bring back Mace Windu? You do that Obi-Wan show, but you make it not as boring, and you have him, he has to refight the Emperor. Cause you don't know what happened

between Star Wars Episode III and Star Wars Episode IV to Mace Windu. That's true. They could have had another fight that's the same. Yeah. Except this time it would have been set on the ground. Yeah. And at the end, the Emperor flings him into the air.

And then you just never see him again. And his foot comes off. His foot comes off. That's right. And you know what? Two appendages left. That's right. So we've got two more sequels in him. Oh my God. Yeah. I'm kind of past the point where I want to see anybody ever again.

Both in movies and in life. Okay, yeah. Yeah. So you were telling me earlier to get excited about this Star Wars news, and then you lay it all out, and then you're like, I don't care if any of these characters live or die, nor do I care about the actors. Or anybody in real life. Anybody in real life.

I don't know. Sometimes I wish I was on the ground, and then I got flung into space and I never returned. And my foot came off. And your foot came off. Because then if your kids were like, Dad, can you help me with this? You'd be like, can't, foot came off. Sorry kids.

I'd love to if my foot didn't come off, which it did. So yeah, I don't know. I think it's because having just watched End or the other... The good Star Wars. I think anything's better than this. Yeah. And you know, but also star wars is whatever there is. There's they've got little kid Jedi shows where they're and they're running around and being like, I got it off lip and believe in myself. What kind of fruit is this?

And then it's and or web, you know, it's pretty grim. Yeah. So yeah, they know what fruit it is. Fruit is oppression. They're fighting back against it. They certainly are Mason. Do you know what's coming in today? Right now?

Trailers. That's right. Okay. Stop. I don't like this. This boat. So he's sorry. He's dumped his trailers.

Has he? He gave you two finger smoke stacks and then he took off. What am I going to do with that? Nothing. I'm leaving. I'm leaving. I'm leaving. I'm leaving. I'm leaving. I'm leaving. I'm's already stopped his trailers. Has he? Has he gone?

He gave you two finger smoke stacks and then he took off. What am I going to do with that? Nothing. I'm not even going to think about it. Mason. I think you're going to do nothing but think about it. Memory hole it. Two trailers.

One is for Weapons, which is Zach Kregger's next film. He of course directed Barbarian. Yep. He produced Companion. He did. Which apparently did. Which Companion, it's an anagram of Airbnb. Did you He produced Companion. He did. Which apparently- Which Companion, it's an anagram of Airbnb. Did you know that?

No. It is. Is that actually true? No. Do not make me look that up. Why would Companion be an anagram of Airbnb? Do not make me look that up, Mason. Some people have said that Barbarian is an anagram of Airbnb,

which it is if you move some of the letters around and take some out. That's very funny, Mason. So of course Zach Craig, I mean, I don't know if you've seen Barbarian Mason. I have seen it. Yeah it's an incredible movie. And is Barbarian without spoiling any Barbarian, is it connected to this? It might be. Why do you say that? Because this is an old-school teaser trailer which doesn't reveal much, but it gives you a little website, a little augmented reality website where it's got a news article and so forth, and it's like, this week in the news, missing kids.

But also, did you hear about that other thing that happened? This giant woman ran out of the sewers. It was crazy. It's crazy, right? It killed Justin Long. It's justified, don? It killed Justin Long. Justified? Dunno. Who's to say? Go on, sorry. Oh no, it's just that there's another news article. Same universe, okay. I don't think that means anything.

No, it doesn't. I just think it means maybe they're all like, you know, some of Tarantino movies are in the same universe. But this is like an old-school Easter egg kind of situation. This is like the Blair Witch website from 1998, a year before it came out. Yeah. Okay, cool. Do you want a synopsis? Oh, do you want to explain the trailer? Oh, it's um, it's... Kids doing the Naruto run, sort of.

Kids as kids, but it's a spooky Naruto run. It's a Sparuto run. Spook-Nuto. It's the Spook-Nuto run. No, and if you're there, you know, you're putting your kids to bed and then they're like they're moving their arms, they start lifting their arms and you're like, don't do the spook-new-toe run. Don't do it. You've got school tomorrow. That's right. Do not do the spook-new-toe run. It's always saying we're seeing like ring camera footage of kids

very late at night. 278. Yeah, leaving their homes by themselves and then running to some undisclosed location. Why are they doing it? We don't know. We don't know yet. The synopsis is the film revolves around multi-related plots marked by the disappearance of school kids at exactly 2.17am. We don't see this in the trailer, but it stars Josh Brolin, Julie Garner, Olden Ike.

Julia Garner. Julia Garner, sorry. She's the silver surfer. I was too busy because I spelled her last name wrong here, so I was too busy focusing on that. The one and only silver surfer that will ever be. That's right. The only one that we like.

Alden Ironreich. Oh yes. Benedict Wong. These are all classic. Now these are all the kids. Yeah, these are all the kids. They've face replaced the kids with these big adult heads. Correct.

Using the Tom Hanks technology from Polar Express. And they haven't updated it, which I love. Even though they could have easily used the one from here, the movie here. I don't see that. I don't see it happening. Have you memory-hulled here? Did you only just remember it now? Yeah, now that you said it. I was explaining it to somebody recently.

I was like, what a sad movie, but not for the reasons that it's supposed to be sad. What was I going to say about this one? The movies were back when that came out. That's true. Remember screaming in the cinemas? Now have any internet sleuths looked into what happens at 2.17am? No. Well, not that I've looked up.

I know this comes out August 8th. Okay. Well, that's the 8th of the 8th. Wow. 8 plus 8 is 16. It's true. Pretty close to 2.17, isn't it? Yeah. This is great. I having the best time of my god damn life. What happens in between in that one minute? Probably the devil. Probably the devil's running around. The devil's running around. Yeah. Yeah. He's like, hey kids!

Get your steps in. Get your steps in. You know. He's doing good work, man. I think so too. You should get your steps in. I think so. You getting your steps in? Yeah. You got your steps in today? Probably not. I don't exercise on the weekend, Mason. Wow. I'll have you know. Cheat weekend. Yep. What do we got here Mason? I do not have my full steps. It's the next trailer. Okay. Okay. What do you got? What are you up to? 4300. 4300? Yeah. I could do that in bed. Yeah. Because you put one of those like bicycle. Yeah. There's bicycle pedal machines in your bed. Yeah. I'm just having the time of my life. Does my phone even register that? I doubt it. I doubt it. You've probably done even more steps than that.

I would say so. Do we have any more to say about weapons? Looks intriguing. I'm excited. I hope they don't do, I mean they'll probably do another trailer, they'll probably do a full length, but I hope it is exactly as unrevelatory as this one. The barbarian trailers weren't anything. That's true. That was just like, this will make you shit your pants.

And it was pretty scary. Yeah. It was a pretty scary movie. Yeah. Very tense. Mason, now we've got a trailer for Predator Badlands. That's right. Let me give you the synopsis.

Okay, go on. In a future, in the future, on a remote planet remote planet a young predator outcast from his clan finds an unlikely Ally in the up or fire and embarks on treacherous journey and search the ultimate adversary This is like a predator man Randy Savage. You know it already, but this is that's why it's a fruitless search Okay, don't bother you go through time. I guess you could which these movies don't do at the moment except they nearly did in the predator when The Predator 2018 when Alan Ripley was gonna be in it. Oh, that's right, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And then we're gonna figure it out in the next movie, which would be canceled. Yeah, that's good. Because Sigourney Weaver would not sign on. Why would you sign on for that? It's a bad movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This looks like it's a bunch of stuff

that we haven't seen in Predator movies, but we have seen in comics and expanded media. I'm all for this. I'm not saying it's going to be good, but I'm saying it's not just... Prey is basically Predator. And I like... Same director. Same director.

Okay, then I'm going to say, I think it probably will be good. Yeah. So, Dan Trachtenberg. And he's talked about, and I know him as well as Fede Alvarez, who did the last Alien movie, have talked about crossing over these franchises. And there's a bunch of hints in this that, not just hints, just very obviously telling you

that this is also the Alien universe. Yeah, yeah, and also opening, you know, a classic opening shot of this trailer is the wall of Predator skull trophies, which includes a tea-R-E-A- Adam Driver movie. Oh, yeah I saw a planet which is earth spoiler and then you can add the time travel. That's right. Yeah good movie Uh and other guys, you know these other guys. Yeah aliens, etc. Yeah. Yeah, it's guys. It's too big, isn't it? Get a sense. It's too big. It's too big. Get a smaller head, brother. Your head's too big. Anyway. What song you singing there?

Another song that says your feet's too big? No. Okay. All right. That's someone with one foot. I don't like that either. My foot flew off. It's true.

So it looks as if also, what's her name? Which fanning is it? It's Elle Fanning. Elle Fanning. Little girl Elle Fanning is in this. You see it in her eyes roll back and she's got a Whaler Newtani logo on her face, eyes. Which means that also there's rumors or stories that they're talking about. There's actually two of her in this.

Which means one could be a synthetical, one is a human woman and one isn't. Either way, it doesn't really matter. I like this. My guess for the cast for the upcoming, at this point purely theoretical Alien vs Predator movie. It's the synthetic and the last surviving protagonist of Alien Romulus. Yep. Plus these two. Okay.

So the Predator in this and the other synthetic. Kayleigh Spanning. Yeah, Kayleigh Spanning and David Johns is on. Oh yeah, he's a robot too. David Johns is on. I liked him a lot in that movie. Yeah, yeah. I... Plus Dutch and he's got a robot arm. says I like him a lot in that movie. Yeah. I

Put the pretty much Dutch and he's got a robot arm. Yeah, and it's just the video game. Right? It's just the arcade game and it's just 16 bit. Yeah, they're just walking left to right great punching and shooting terrific No plot. I am worried that maybe eventually they're gonna cross all these over and then we're stuck in that Yeah, kind of like with glass ones bad I like now with Godzilla versus Kong and those separate universes, now the Monsterverse movies have to have them all in it. That's true, yeah. Well, it seems that way. Yeah, you can't strip it back to just Godzilla again.

I'm sure they probably can, but yeah. But that's, you know, you're on a certain path. That being said, people have opinions about the new design. They don't like it as much of the Predator in particular. Well, the Predators look different, don't they? Yeah. Apparently that one's a runt. Oh yeah, that would make sense.

And it seems as if what they've done here as well, they've kind of made it more emotive. Right, okay. Because you kind of, the predators don't, you can never read any emotion on them. Whereas this you can see like, oh, there's kind of fear in that and whatever. You can't read any emotion on anyone though. Me? Yeah. I can read your emotions. You're having a great time I'm having a great time. I retract my previous accusation

Accusation, that's right You get other doctors that's our examines you and gives you an accusation. That's right. All right. Yep You've only got one foot what yeah, I knew that already This looks cool. It does look like laser sword. Oh. Yeah, I'm also excited for something different in this universe. Because I think also with Alien Romulus, it's like, this is sort of like an Aliens greatest hits. Yeah, sort of. I liked it. It worked same with Prey. It's basically Predator. Oh, also the lady from Prey. She'll also be in the Alien vs Predator 10. You have to bring her to the future somehow. That's fine. Using cryostasis. You don't need to use time travel. Thank you.

Or relativistic, fast and light effects or whatever. They'll fly off-line and then back on and then it'll be the present day. Or the future. I won't do it. I won't allow it. Great. This is out. When's this out?

This is coming to theaters because of course Prey very nearly didn't go to the... Oh wait, did that go to streaming? It went to streaming I think. Because we all went. they should have put this at the movies cuz everybody liked it Oh, November 7th. This is ages away ages away. I could be dead by then you should be dead by then I should be dead by then Damn it. I'm just looking this so the budget of the last one was six for the prey was six Why would they put that to streaming? I guess it was 2022.

Yeah, movies weren't back yet. So no, I guess they weren't. Okay, great. Mason, we're going to talk about what do we got here? The Sinners second weekend. Huge, huge. We're taking a standard coming between 42 to 44 million dollars, which is about a 10% drop That's long box up that is I mean if a movie has a 50% drop. That's pretty and it's pretty standard. Yeah, that's good

Yeah, also and also bearing in mind this cost about a hundred million dollars, maybe So and it made yeah, so it'll be 10. What did it make in the first week? I can't remember but not 70 to 90. I can't remember. It was good It was good Well, yeah, and especially for a first week, especially for like a property that wasn't based on anything or a sequel. And it's R rated in the US. It's R rated. Yep. It's not R rated here. I think it was probably MA. So yeah, but of course the trades have been saying, well, they were saying last week that this deal that Ryan Coogler had,

which people, if you don't know, is the director and he basically means that he gets the rights back to this in 25 years. So when he's 65 or whatever he is. So I saw an interview with him and he was asked about it and he's like, this is a very common deal for like prominent directors like Tarantino's had it a bunch of other directors, I don't think he named specifically, have had this deal in the past and nobody cared about that. And they were like, why do you think they care about you having this deal? And he's like, I would rather not say.

Yeah. Because he doesn't want to, you know. And here's the classic, here's the variety. He targeted. Here's the tweet from Variety six days ago. Sinners has amassed $61 million in its global debut. It's a great result for an original R rated horror film. Yet the Warner Brothers release has a $90 million price tag before global marketing expenses.

So profitability remains a ways away. This was like two days after the movie came out. Marvel's release has a $90 million price tag before global marketing expenses, so profitability remains a ways away. This was like two days after the movie came out. It was retweeted by Ben Stiller who said, in what universe does a $60 million opening for an original studio movie warrant this headline? A lot of people also echoed that exact statement. It's like, do they do this after Marvel movies? Like two days in? I think, I can't remember specifically, but I think, I don't know, in relation to the

budget and the box office, but I think Once Upon a Time in Hollywood had a similar debut. And there was like, this is, rivers are back and cinema's real. That's right. And whatever. But yeah, I think it is too, I mean, you know, a lot of trades and variety are included there. They are in league with studios. They're owned by the studios. Yeah, they're owned by the studios and they're basically, you know, they are reliable in terms of scoops often because the studios are allowing them to leak this information.

So it seems as if this is just a way to kind of scare, I don't know, to have people think that this is bad and that directors getting a deal like this would be a bad thing. Like we give a shit. Like none of this money goes to us regardless. And obviously, I don't know about you Mason, I'm going to speak for you, but I'd prefer to go to the people who created the film than... What about, what if the money went to blood sucking leeches? You considered that? Like literal blood sucking leeches?

Yes. Because I prefer that to studio heads. Okay, then yes. literal blood sucking leeches. Yes. Cause I prefer that to studio heads. Okay, then yes. So that's that's kind of where we're at. And I hope it does lead to more deals like this.

It probably won't. I think studios would be very reluctant to make this deal at any point. Because then they can't because their goal here is nobody goes to the movies anymore. Everybody runs stuff off streaming. Yeah. But if in 25 years Ryan Coogler can say no you can't have sinners. Or you can lease sinners from me for a huge amount of money. They would rather just to own it and it's free to them. I also don't think this movie, like a

lot of movies, is gonna be worth anything in 25 years. Like it's gonna be it's gonna front end in terms of profitability. Right. I don't mean because this movie will disappear. And suddenly everyone will be like, Oh, this is a bad movie. I just mean it's one movie in a sea of a million movies. Movies good movie, though. He's also talked about how there's no sequel to this. It's like, this movie is everything. It's like it's it's he said in terms of a meal. It's like it's your entrees your main It's and it's your desserts. What about a what about a prequel? What did what did what did Jack come jump off there? You know start you know he sort of jumps in the frame Oh, yeah, what's he jumping off? What's an elephant? Oh, you're jumping off. I don't know

I wouldn't dare to speculate, but that's where my that's where imagination goes you know, okay? Yeah, why not put that imagination into a prequel? But specifically your idea? Yes. Of him jumping off an elephant? He's jumping off an elephant. Okay, great. From the circus. Wow.

Yeah. Is it a vampire elephant? Could be. But you don't know. I mean, it could be. It could be. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can I have that idea for free?

From me? Yeah. Yep. Then it is. It is that. Yeah. It's a vampire elephant. You don't care whether this is a good idea. You just don't want to pay anything for it. Is that what's happening here? That's right. Yeah. Now, vampire elephant, that'd be public domain, wouldn't it? I'd imagine so. Yeah, so that's what it is. The tusks are sharp. Tusks are sharp. I mean, they're already sharp. They're even sharper. And they're longer. They're red. So the guy who plays the Irish vampire in that movie, he's also from Skins, is that right? So the guy who plays the Irish vampire in that movie, he's also from Skins, is that right? Maybe he is. I don't know what season if he is. What's his name? Jack O'Connell?

Jack O'Connell, yeah. I saw a little tweet and it was him and Nicholas Holt and... Are they in the same season of Skins though? I have no idea. Daniel Kaluuya and somebody else and it's like, look at this talent that's came out of Skins. And apparently that's because it was one of the few productions in the UK at The time that just did an open call for everybody. Okay, then they already have to have an agent and a blubber I mean it felt very real at the time Yeah, you'd have to go to the right school and all this sort of stuff which seems to be pretty common in the UK He was also in

The bill he was Ross Trescot and five Five episodes in a five episode run of The Bill? He appeared in season three of Skins. I think only was the first season or two. Oh, he's outgoing, sexually promiscuous and self-destructive. In Skins? I don't see that happening. But it says at the end he was fine. Okay.

Great. Should we move it along? Let end he was fine. Okay. I don't know. Great. Yeah. Should we move it along? Let's move it along. Until dawn. On a budget of $15 million. $15 million? $15, not very many dollars at all.

How many dollars? It looks like it's opening weekend in the US is 7 to 8 million. This is going to do okay, I think. Sure. Even if it ends up at about 30 worldwide, that'll be enough. That'll do it. To recoup its money. That'll do, Pig.

Yeah. It's also a big week, Box Office Weekend. Not only you've got Sinners coming out as we talked about. Revenge of the Sith is going to make about $23 million on its re-release. It's a re-release? That's right. Of a movie I don't really like? Yeah.

Should I see it? Yep. I don't want to. You can watch it at home. I could. For free. I don't want to. But you could.

Don't you want to go into the attic and be like, You told me the Jedi were. For free. I don't want to. But you could. Don't you want to go into the attic and be like, you told me the Jedi were killing my people. I don't like that. You don't like that? I mean, I like it. But you don't love it. No, I don't love it.

Yeah. Also, the account Toontra is going to make about $25 million. So pretty decent weekend in terms of box office, I would say. Movies are back. Movies are back. What do you think the story was? Oh, all right. So there's a group of teens or possibly young people, I can't tell.

They might be in their 30s. They might be in their 30s. They're going on a road trip because one of them, her sister went missing a year ago. And they keep telling you that. Even though they've been road tripping for quite a while, they keep reminding each other that. That's right. Let's beat ourselves up. My sister went missing. Didn't your sister go missing? Stop thinking about your sister who went missing for once in your miserable life.

But my sister went missing. That's a good point actually. And she did. She did go missing. Your sister. But anyway, they go to their road trip and they stop off at a mysterious spooky gas station. Fantastic. And the mysterious spooky gas station attendant is like, well, we don't have many people missing at the spooky gas station.

Not even a lot of people go missing is the spooky ghost mysterious ghost town. Yep. Where people go missing. Constantly. All the time. Maybe you should go down there and check it out. Yeah. I wouldn't say that. Yeah. But he says maybe don't do it. Maybe don't do that wink.

Is your sister missing? Yes. Yes. You should go. Finally somebody's opened that dialogue for me. Yes, she is missing actually. Yeah. Anyway, they go to the spooky little town. And there's a rainstorm. Yeah. But is there? Yes. Yep. But they make it to a spooky little town. They go to a spooky little town. They go to a spooky little town They get in a spooky little house. Yeah, and then I would say without but this doesn't count as spoiling because it's in the trailer

I would say yep all of what I would say if you don't be spoiled I would say gore and and stuff is afoot. Yep, but what I would say if a thing that's in the trailer They all get killed. Yeah by a man and a clown that would mean the movie is over that's what you would think so do you think but you've never seen a movie all the way through that's true and you don't know how long they are so you're like you tell me I should do it for this one but I didn't that's good for sticking to your principles actually I respect that a lot um but then when they're like my sister's missing I'm like what's the point yeah that's right well you never gonna find yeah you're not licensed police investigators are right. Well, you're never going to find her. Yeah, you're not licensed police investigators, are you?

So what are you going to be able to do? Mm-hmm. Goodbye. You're not Matlock. That's right. You're not even Kathy Bates Matlock. Exactly. Mrs. Matlock, which is her name.

Yep. Matlock? No. I've never seen it all the way through, or at all. But sorry, continue. But then, guess what? They're back in the house again. Oh, they're doing Groundhog Day.

They're doing a little bit of a Groundhog Day. Or Happy Death Day, which is also a movie today. But they have to make it until dawn, all alive, otherwise they'll die or something. Or they'll go mad, or they'll turn into monsters, just to say. We don't know. And they'll tell us all about it. So it is a bit Happy Death Day, it's Groundhog Day, it's The Cabin in the Woods, there's a bit of that to it.

This is directed David F. Sandberg, who started his career making a small horror movie in Lights Out after being discovered on YouTube. Then he did Annabelle Creation, which is apparently a good Annabelle prequel movie. Then he did the Shazams. Two Shazams. Two of her Shazams movies. And then, so he's back to the horror movies, Mason. This is also based, this is a PlayStation production and it's very loosely

based on the video game of the same name. Well see that's the thing isn't it? So, I mean the number one crossover is Peter Stormare is in the game, but he's also in this movie. But it's not really the same character, it seems. Okay. Or their personalities are completely different. So my understanding of the Until Dawn game, which I haven't played, is it's sort of a... It's a walking simulator. It's a walking simulator. It is a... Heavy rain.

It's an interactive narrative more than it is a game. Like in the movie, there are multiple characters who are young people or teenagers or something. Who's to say? Eight characters apparently. And then you play at various points throughout the narrative, you get them to perform different actions. And if you if your actions or inactions result in one of those characters being killed, the story doesn't end and restarts, the story continues with the remaining characters and the ending is different. So you get different endings depending on whether you have all the characters survive or some of the characters die or all of them die kind of thing.

Apparently, this is sort of a mechanism. Yeah. They've decided to... It's a very different mechanism to this. Yeah. Uh-huh. There's 22 points of decision apparently in that video game which results in like hundreds of endings. Okay.

And again, it's one playthrough. You don't restart. You go through. Yeah. If you lose a character, you either restart. Completely. Or you finish and then you go back. You're right. Rami Malek is in that apparently. Yeah, who's also referenced in this is a few references to people Hey, did you say mr. Robot last night? Good movie show. I mean I went into the reddit of this

People fucking hate this movie. They're the until dawn. Yeah, they're like this is nothing like the game It doesn't do it like justice to the universe The with a one character that does come over, Peter Stormare, is completely different than what he is in the game. Just the whole thing, they're like, as a horror movie, it's fine. But as an Until Dawn adaptation or something said in this universe? Nonsense. Because there's also magical elements to this, which I guess

don't exist in the game. On top of that, they don't really explain how it works. Yeah, but there are some supernatural elements in the game. I believe there are monsters that are pursuing these characters, right? And there's references to that in this. But I guess I'm very curious as to the series of meetings that began with, yeah, it's an interactive game and some of the characters die and others don't. You choose that and it depends on the ending. How that evolved into there is a literal magical device in the movie that causes the time causes their the time loop to happen. Yeah, I think How did who built it? Who built it? We don't know. Yeah, maybe psychic power built it It probably was a psychic thing. Yeah, what I would say though is I thought it was suitably tense

Yep, I agree. It was you know, it was because again, we don't really when you come back you're so you're not unscathed like there was a toll to coming back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you kind of get worse every time. Yeah, yeah they sort of quickly figure out the time loop because one of the characters writes their name in the in the guest book of this place there they hold up in and then after they've all died she returns to life at the guest book writing her name in it again. And so they sort of figure out what is happening and then they sort of have to. What if nobody writes their name in the guest book?

I was going to I was going to ask you that. I don't know. Why? I said I was going to ask you. I didn't ask you. I didn't ask you. What if you did get in the car like you were like, you're not going to. Then you did. That's a great point, isn't it? That's not in the rules, though, or something.

Mm hmm. I can't really get into. Yeah, It's not in the rules though, or something. I can't really get into... Yeah, well get in on it in spoilers, but I would say that the rules of the universe, how this town and this mechanism of time looping and all, pretty much everything about it is not really well established. It's really well explained. And I don't need it spelt out, but like any kind of explanation would have been fine. Just one explanation. But I think also there's pretty interesting deaths in this. I think like this, they're quite gory, there's some pretty funny ones.

There's a moment where a character's head gets smashed in with a hammer, and you see there's just like an eyeball kind of like left in the kind of the puddle of broken skull and brain and everything. And the idea is that every time you come back, like a different thing kills you, which is kind of where the Cabin of the Woods kind of element comes in. But not really. No. It's not, it's not and you know, there's some consistent kind of ghouls and motifs Like in the movie cabin in the woods, it's you know, the classic horror movie cabin in the woods trope But sometimes they're being killed by vampires or Frankenstein's monsters or you know, very mermen mermen or what have you, you know Whereas this it's kind of like yeah, there's some clowny stuff. Yeah, it's a witchy stuff You know, yep. And that's fun. Yeah, it's fun. I think also some of these

Some of these I'm gonna spoil one of the things that kills them Okay, some of these deaths are just really unfair and how would you know? Right? There's a moment where they drink water and you just explode Mm-hmm, and and I like the whole thing is yeah unfair, but it's like explode and I get like the whole thing is yeah unfair but it's like come on man like how is that like a horror death where you have a drink of water from a tap or anywhere and then you explode like I just think that's yeah but it's what is that well it's a it's a metaphor for trauma isn't it yeah I guess it is I also I hate because the way they tie all of like the reason in why this happens, I hate how they tie that in and like, and again, that's more of a spoiler.

I think that whole thing because it's sort of it's around mental health and like state of mind and depression. Right. I hate all of that as well. I also think at the end, like when you get kind of you're told what is going on and like who's running it. But again, with no kind of great depth. But I think by the end of this, I don't think there's any sense of closure or why, why did we do any of this? Like we walked away from this, but like, you know, who does and who doesn't, you know, that's for the movie to say, but it's like, okay, you know, like, it's like, what about this? What about this person?

What about that? Don't worry about it. Yeah. Some of you, all of you got out of until dawn. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

What does that mean for the universe as a whole and everybody else in the town and all this sort of stuff? Well, who knows, man? Nothing, probably. Nothing really. But I think in terms of of if you remove the, if you're a fan of the game I don't think you're not going to like this it seems. I think it's an okay horror movie. Yeah. I'm fascinated though that there is an active subreddit about

the game Until Dawn. Well there's also like the Until Dawn there was like a spiritual sequel a few years ago, which was I can't remember. Until Brunch. Until Brunch. Hey man, where should we go for brunch? I don't know. There's a few options. Let's check. I'll check.

I'll check. Oh no, the Wendigo! Look out! The Wendigo was there. We never even went to Brunch. The Quarry. Okay. So that's kind of a spiritual successor to this.

Okay, sure, sure, sure. Yeah. Yeah, Hayden Panatier, what do you say her name? Panatier. Yeah, she's in that, the game, the game's in 2015. Okay, right. Rami Malek plays Josh Washington in it. Josh Wash.

Josh Wash, and there's other people that turn up. Okay. So... I thought the cast was pretty good. Yeah, it was good. I like, I thought the cast was pretty good. Yeah, it was good. I think they're likeable enough. And it's a little, there is a, and I think it's on purpose. There are cliches of like, I'm just going to go check out that weird noise by myself and like, okay, I'll be right back. Will you? You know, et cetera.

But I think also that's kind of the point. Yeah, is that it is this cliche horror time loop? Yeah going on, but it doesn't I don't know it doesn't quite looks good. It does look good Yeah, it never quite rises to the silliness of cabin in the woods Or even happy death day, which is yeah It's alright. Yeah, it's alright. I, it's not the worst movie ever, so therefore for me, it must be the best movie ever. It made me angry. It wastes my time like a mind-trap movie. The more I think about it, the more I'm like, I don't know.

But I would still say at the time sitting in there, I was like, this is all right, which I guess is the best movie ever. Yeah. Would I recommend anybody see this? Not really. There's better movies out currently. No, I would say so.

I would also, I think maybe this was a script for something else. Oh, I see. Yeah, right. Yeah. And there was, because they tack in elements of like, you know, there's a missing poster and some of those people might be from the game or there's a file on a doctor's desk which hints towards somebody exists. And then at the end, you might get a hint towards the location of the first game or

whatever. But like like I don't care about that and anybody who does care about that seems to be really upset about it. That's right. So yeah, anyways, let's do some spoilers. Let's do some spoilers. It's big time spoiler time. So the villain of this is Peter Stormare. Not only was he running a Peter Stormare, a local Stormare where you come through and you get some things. That's right. He's also a psychiatric doctor of sorts. Peter Stormare's fishing lures and things. That's right.

Ice cream sandwiches. He is also a psychologist who, or psychiatrist, who is... Or neither. Well we never see him prescribe any medication so I think he might be a psychologist. Or just a crazy person. Maybe he just doesn't give out those Xanaxes like candy baby. That's good then I think. Um, yeah. So yeah, but so he, he's pulling double duty. Yeah.

He might also be a single dad. I don't know. Maybe he does. Maybe he is. But he's come to this town because there was a big hole opened up under the town and swallowed it up and a thousand people were killed. Yeah. And seemingly what that has done, I think, it's not really expressly spelled out, but potentially because they hadn't really thought about it and they're just like... I thought I missed some stuff and I went looking through like explanations on the internet. Oh wow.

Oh no, I didn't miss anything. I need to read these so I can do my own explainer video. What it seems to have happened is that the death of all these people has created some sort of psychic bubble of unreality, which as a result allows everything in the movie to happen. It doesn't really make any sense. But it's also maybe it's your psyche that's doing it. Yeah. Because you're mentally ill. Yeah. And you made this happen.

And maybe your sister who went missing, she also did it or didn't. And there's a witch. Once. There is a witch once and maybe she also was in the town. So how does this work? It doesn't. No it doesn't. The town sank.

Yeah. Except for this place which didn't sink. Also, sometimes some of the town isn't sunk. You think you're on the first level of the visitor center, but you're actually on the second, which also doesn't make any sense because it's a waiting area. Why would you have the sighted area on the second level of a visitor center? It's madness. I'm assuming it's a psychic bubble, unreality psychic bubble.

Yeah, where it can't rain. Where it can't rain. So what it can do is one of the things it can do is it's made all the water, so if you drink the water you explode. Yep. Any of it. Seems that way. Where did Peter Stormae get his coffee from?

That's a great point. I guess he got it from the shop that he works at. Maybe it went to the shop. Yeah, that he works out of drugs. Maybe it's a dare iced coffee. Maybe he doesn't own the shop Maybe he just does shift work. Maybe. Yeah. Yeah. That's not his fault then is it? He needs a second job. That's true. To support himself It can also it it so okay so actually I guess the the the the overarching explanation is that if you, as you... God. Because the visitor's center has a... Has a skull hourglass.

Yeah, a sand-filled hourglass with a skull on it, and it rotates around when there's people in the visitor's center, I guess. And then you have to, if you live, if you don't, if everybody in the visitor's center doesn't end up, it ends up dying before the sand comes through, then the day resets and it ends up. And you get like 13 chances before you turn into a ghoul. Well, yeah, that's the thing. And every time everybody dies, they come back and like they have bruises or they have extra teeth or whatever it is.

And eventually, if you don't survive the night, you become a part of the night. So presume. So there are a bunch of monsters in this universe. Wendigo's. Who presumably are all people. People who went missing. Her sister's one of them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Does this include any of the townsfolk that died? Maybe.

Or they don't count? Also, the first time you die, you appear on a missing poster in the visitor's centre. Peter Stormare's printing them off. Is he printing them off? That's not magic. No, and sometimes when after you die or you're about to die, Peter Stormare will walk through and go, interesting. Yeah.

But like- How's he doing that? Why is he doing that? Why is he attacking him? Yeah, why is he immune? But he's also not immune, because he drinks the water and explodes. Spoiler alert at the end. He decides to come out and reveal to the de facto main character what is happening. And he does it in his office.

And there's a drip of water coming down onto his desk and he leaves his coffee mug an inch away from the drip. And so the lead character waits till he's turned away doing his monologue and she subtly moves the cup of coffee and some drips of water go into it and then she moves it back and he drinks it and he explodes. Yeah, so he's not immune to that, but there's a point where he examines all that.

We see a video clip that one of the kids has recorded or adults has recorded on their phone and he examines the dead bodies and then he goes through a doorway but then later when the characters go through that doorway it is absolutely riddled with zombie clowns and killer wendigos, and really difficult to navigate things. Like they need two people to move a pane of glass out of the way and stumble over here and it's all dark and whatever.

It's like when somebody plays a video game and someone has to invade a headquarters of a villain and it's all falling blocks and fire and swinging sights and stuff. And it's like, how do these people get to work? Yeah, it's exactly like that. It's like, how do you, how are you immune to this? Because it seems as if also he didn't Do you have an amulet? Yeah, maybe he didn't start this. No, he came upon it and is using it to research fear and

people turning into monsters. Yeah, yeah. And also one of the explanations is, well, actually all these things that are happening, that's because of you, because you're mentally unwell. Yeah. And I've never seen that. That's right. I'm Peter Stormare and I've never seen depression. Yeah, right.

And you're manifesting all of this and causing the night to happen. But okay, what? Why? Yeah. Okay. So the sister who was there a year prior. And presumably on her own. And got turned into a wendigo. What did she experience? Did she experience the clock? I guess so, but apparently it's slightly different for everybody. Okay, that's handy. But not many people get explosion water.

Right. Apparently that's... I'll explain the explosion water's new. Yeah, or unusual. Because I thought like is some of this derived from the fact that the town sank? I thought, well, maybe the explosion waters, because the town sank. Good point. And explosion waters run up from the groundwater or whatever. But no, I guess it's the psychic powers. And there's also a moment where he's like, you did all of this, all of this is in your mind. And she's like, so it's not real.

And he's like, no, it's real. And I was like, okay, is it? Great. No, that's cool. It's happening. It is happening though. But you're doing it in your mind. So it's just a figment of my imagination. Nah, you're gonna die unless you escape this.

You gotta get out of the ground, underground before the timer runs out. I feel like also some of these rules are arbitrary, because one of the things is you can't just stay in a room and live till dawn. Why not? He's giving them tips. Why would you bother? But why can't just stay in a room and live till dawn. Why not? He's giving them tips. Why would you bother? But why can't you do that? What the fuck?

Because there's no like, because they do get out of it. But it's only, it seems as if you just have to run around for a bit. And then survive. But also one of you has to die. But why? And it ends up being Peter Stormare and nobody else. That's very handy. So everybody gets out.

He should have taken the day off. Also, he doesn't die because it's kind of hinted at the end that he's not there. I just don't understand why you can't lock yourself in a room. Like, barricade yourself. Because the unbarricading monster would show up with telekinetic unbarricading powers. Oh yeah, sometimes it's a ghost. It's an invisible ghost that throws you into a witch's house. That's right, yeah. Yeah, yeah. It possesses you and then it breaks your neck and then

it goes into the witch's house? Then it throws you into a witch's house. Then it throws you into a witch's house and then the witch is there and the witch... Possesses you. No, the witch sucks your life. Oh, maybe, yeah, no, the witch is right. And maybe becomes you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But just for a little bit.

And the witch is watching the TV. Sometimes there's a worm in your face on a phone. Sometimes there's a worm in your face on the phone. Yeah. Boy, they really, it's a real scattershot approach to this, isn't it? It is. Yeah. And again, it's that thing of like, well, yeah, it's all in your mind and it's as well as psychic energy, I guess, any irregularities. Except it's real. Except it's real except it's real it's fine yeah oh yeah there was that witch that yeah well I mean cuz like and the witch is kind of a one-time thing yeah and some of the things they look at on their phone are a one-time thing yeah but it's mostly just ghouls biting you yeah and sometimes

it's a it's a ghoul in a in a in a clown mask who is in a screaming zombie and it's he's invincible. Yeah. But then later you can just beat him up, I guess. Yeah, you can beat him up a bit. Because you believe in yourself, but there's never any... Also there's... It's not real.

No, and there's... But it is real. And there's a sequence as well where Peter Stormand is like, you can't just... You have to look around and stuff. And then they're like, we better do some research in this house. Let's open up some files and look at the files and videos and stuff.

Yeah. Like a video game. Like a guess. And then they're like, wow, he's probably not in this house. He's probably in the sanatorium next door. Let's look at them. He's on the map. He's right there. Let's set a waypoint on the map. Yeah. And we'll go visit him. Let's use our spook vision. Oh, there he is.

Yeah. And he's underground, maybe. He's underground, I think. Yeah. Yeah. That feels, that's also my least favorite stuff in video. And he's underground, maybe. He's underground, I think, yeah. Yeah, that feels... That's also my least favorite stuff in video games where it's like, you found a dossier. I don't care. Unless it's somebody telling me in a cut scene or over an earpiece. I'm not reading that.

Oh, this is a secret. Because I also know that no major secret is going to be revealed in a post-it note that I pick up in a video game. That you could miss, yeah, exactly. I don't give a shit. I'm not stopping to read that. I'm not a moron. It's almost as bad as voice logs. Or better. I don't know. You know when you pick up a voice log and it's like, I'll be doing an experiment and it's very interesting. And then the next one's like, the experiment's good out of hand!

Day 15 of torturing the giant tentacle monster is going very well. I've come up with some great recipes out of it and I think that it's, I mean it's looking really mad but fortunately... Big sheet of glass. Big sheet of glass is there and it's been banging on the glass but it's not going to get through the glass. I doubt it. Yeah I doubt it very much so. I'm looking at it through the glass and I'm like it looks like it's going to wear itself

out. Day 57 at Godby Squash it squashed me up with a tentacle. I Realize that bloody glass. I realize it was hubris. I realized I was doing hubris this whole time I only realized now though on day 57 Anyway, if you find this be careful. Yeah Hope this helps use your detective vision. Use your science vision. Yeah, he's in the isn't the business center What I'm gonna decide it's laboratorium. Yeah, the guy did this which is me. Maybe also Remember, it's got three protective tentacles and you have to shoot their three protective tentacles and then you'll expose its heart and then you should

Can shoot its heart but then it'll grow three more protective tentacles and then yeah And if you're running low on health just duck behind a chest-high wall and then they should recover or he'll drop a health back out of his beak or something I don't know. Alas I was not in a room with a chest-high wall so I was killed. Video games! Video games! Oh and at the end it's like it's the house from is it? Apparently apparently it's when you see some footage and it's a snowy location and apparently it's the yeah It's until dawn the first game is it said in like the 90s or something. I don't know man Yeah, you'd have to ask a Rami Malik

award-winning actor Rami Malik, I'm just looking if get your big Frankie Frank Frank, what's the guys name Castle? No, Freddie Mercury Get your big Freddie Mercury teeth out and answer me this damn question. Rami Malek. Damn Rami Malek. I don't know, I can't find one when this is said. Same. Same.

Same. You weren't even looking. No. Yeah, great. Um, yeah, you know. You know, yeah. That's all right. Yeah, it's all right.

But I mean, look, I reckon, you know. Streaming. Yeah, if your horror fan pops up on something on the front page, don't go looking for it. No. But if it just appears, give it a whirl for five minutes. You might like the characters, you know. The prologue of the game is 2014 and then a year later. So it was modern day.

Right, right. Yeah. Great. Great. I like to have it. If Sam, but you know, in a segment, yeah, movies about the good movie. And it's also called Oh, what we're in. Yep. What we're gonna read. Yep. I'm doing the thing. What do you been watching reading doing? That's a great question, guys. There's a Spider-Man Predator comic issue 1 came out.

Oh? Spider-Man doing against the Predator? He hasn't met him yet. It's issue 1. But he's like, something's going on. Oh yeah, nice. Something's going on. Someone's skin and poop are hanging him up.

Can his spider senses detect a cloaked predator? I feel like Spider-Man could kill a Predator pretty easily. Yeah, like one punch, if he really wanted to. You know, and he could find that fine line know, fine line of well, he's a sentient being, but he's not from around here. He sucks. He ain't from New York City, baby. And he sucks. One punch, bang, his head comes off. One punch, bang, exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, it's all right, it seems. They're doing a bunch of Predator Avengers crossover stuff. There's a Predator kills the Marvel

universe. Unlikely, That's coming out soon. But I didn't even take Spider-Man. I kept getting recommended clips for the 1984 movie Amadeus. Okay. So I'm like, it's a Mozart movie. So I'm like, fuck it. I'm going to watch Amadeus, the director's cut. Why are you getting clips of this? On YouTube? I just started getting it on YouTube. Do the Zoomers love Amadeus? Apparently. I must have said something or looked at something for too long. So I got this. So it stars Tom Hulce as Wolfgang Amadeus, F. Murray Abraham as his rival.

A bunch of other people are in it. I'd Murray him. Would you? Yeah. Great. He won an Oscar for this actually. Tom Hulce is amazing also as Wolfgang Amadeus. And it's like the story of his life, how he's like, he revolutionized music in whatever century this was in.

In a way was he the first rapper? Yeah, he was. Yeah. That's great. Yeah. And he does several raps. It's terrific. So it is about this kind of rivalry and like how Wolfgang Amadeus kind of gets destroyed

by the way society is built and the pressures upon him. He's in a rivalry with society. Exactly. But not another guy. No, but also maybe some of a lot of this is like, yes, a lad who wasn't born yet, but he knew he was coming. That's right. And so it's kind of like, yeah, it's the story of his life told from not strictly

his perspective, more like his rival. And how basically like the people not understanding him or finding him annoying or being desperately jealous of his attem- Oh I see what this is. This is your- you feel this is a metaphor for your own life. Exactly. I'm trying to bring you down with this podcast and I think it's working because you're certainly not getting better.

No! Anyway, it's terrific. But jokes on you, I never wanted to get better. Great! And I've never tried. I never wanted to get better. Right. And I've never tried. I could tell. I know you could. I mean, it's not really talked about anymore, I feel.

But like, I thought it was tremendous. I watched the director's cut of it. And just even like, it's this representation of music is done like in the way that's weaved in and out of the narrative. There's a moment where you see F. Murray Abraham, like reading, like the stuff that Mozart had written. Music. Yeah. And just coming to the realization of like, he can't believe this and he's loving it, Murray Abraham like reading like the stuff that Mozart had written music. Yeah. And just coming to the realization of like, he's, he can't believe this and he's

loving it, but he's also like horribly depressed that he didn't ever do this, which is the way I feel about you. Thanks, man. Thanks, man. Anyway, if you, if you recommend, if you're getting clips of it on YouTube, um, check it out. Well, you have to pay for it. Yeah, I paid for it.

I bought off Amazon for like 15 bucks, which is a lot. Wow. Whatever. It's an old movie. It's an old movie. It came out the year after I was born. No matter two years after. Um, yeah.

Uh, Jeffrey Jones is in it. Who's that? Famed pedophile, Jeffrey Jones. I didn't think you'd like that. I didn't like it. Cynthia Nixon's in it as well. Yeah. Yeah, it's just kind of a movie that I don't really make now.

I want to see the guy from Beetlejuice. Yeah, he is. Yes, that's right. That's correct. Anyway, what are you reading? I haven't watched it yet, but I'm going to watch Havoc. I've been watching Mobland, which is the Guy Ritchie, not Guy Ritchie, it's the Tom Hardy crime show.

Oh yeah. you what? And this is Gareth Evans and Tom Hardy, it's on Netflix. It's a freebie. Yeah, Mason. Oh, it's got a 67% on Rotten Tomatoes. How would you find the action in this? How would I find it? How would you find it?

I find it... Timothy Olfen's in it? Yeah. Far as Whittaker's in it? Yeah. Alright. I'd find it thrilling. A non Forrest Whitaker's in it. Yeah. All right. Yeah. I'd find it thrilling.

A non-stop thriller, I'd actually. Okay, great. Yeah. Reminiscent of Gareth Evans' earlier works. That's how I'd find it, had I watched it yet, but I haven't. So. Gareth Evans. I get him confused with Gareth Edwards.

He did The Raid, didn't he? Correct, yes. And The Raid 3, which isn't out yet. And The Raid 2, which is out yet. Wow. Yeah. I don't know. Raid three is coming out next year. Fantastico. All in all, I liked it.

Wait, what did you watch? I didn't. You didn't watch it. I didn't watch it. Cool. What are you going to do about it? I'm not going to stop you. Yeah.

You're going to flip the table before I get a chance to flip the table. One of us has to flip the table. We could flip it together. It'll be easier. Teamwork. Yeah. That's great. That's what makes a podcast great.

Do you want to flip it onto the dog? No Wait a second though if we don't tip it on the dog the dogs gonna exactly. Oh my god. Hey, only give her a second Fantastic stuff Mason. Fantastic beasts. Let's move it along. And where to find them. We're bringing it back. No we're not. We're hoping for the last two.

Nobody's bringing it back. Oh. No. You don't care. No I don't care at all. I hope it crashes and burns. It did. Yeah good.

I hope even more so though. But you're looking forward to the new Harry Potter TV series. Yep. Aren't you worried it's too woke? I am a little bit worried about that, yes. Thank you. I'm a little bit worried about that, yes. I'm a little bit concerned. I'm not going to lie to you, it has crossed my mind that it's going to be a bit woke.

More spells and potions, more... Smells and lotions. Smells and lotions. Yeah, smells and demotions. God, can't get anything right, can they? These days. No, you can't. I just don't think they're going to pull it off.

No. I mean, even if it runs the whole length of time. Yep. I don't know. I mean, it's got a good, this car seems good and some names behind riding it seem all right, but I don't know. Who gives a shit? I think every kid-

It's over. I think the audience of kids, they want want to watch this have already been shown the previous Harry Potter movies and the Harry Potter is Daniel Radcliffe and is that cast and they... Well, J.K. Rowling doesn't like them. That's true. So no. And they should be more grateful.

Those brats who are now in their mid-30s. That's right. Why aren't they more grateful, Mason, for this terrible woman? Why haven't they remained my best friend like all the mold in my castle? Telling me all the things I need to know, all the correct things that I already know. I don't have billionaire's disease, I'm normal. Normal woman. Mm-hmm.

Alright, what's next? Ah, Letters. Yep. I'll play Letters then. The classic one was Letters, oh Let lettuce, we love you, some lettuce, they're only a day away. We know they're here right now, we're gonna do lettuce.

Namaste everybody. Namaste, it's coming through good. It's coming through good on these new pop filters. You've got a great phone though, if you don't mind me saying so. Thanks man. It's one of the things I'm extremely jealous of about you. Yeah, right.

Among other things, the pop filter as well. My pop filter that you purchased. These are different. Are they? No, these are exactly the same. That one's different. Yeah. Because Joel Zama brought it here when he came to podcast and he left it. So now it's mine. It's well. What an idiot. That's how you acquired all this equipment. That's right. Joel Zit left it. Mason, it's quite simple. If you want to reach the show, you can send Mason a very short Gmail to weeklyplanetpodatgmail.com. And if you're going to use a lot of paragraphs, don't. But if you're going to write a really long one, use paragraphs, but also don't. Would you say?

I would say that, absolutely. I'm speaking on behalf of you. That's true. I'm your representation. And you also put a thread in the Planet Broadcasting Gray Mates Facebook group. I do, I do, I do. And ask people questions in there. Here's an email from Bryn. Bryn! And Bryn said, what did I do wrong?

I had a dream last night that you guys did a review of my life as if it was a bad movie, Morbius level bad. You guys rated me poorly, I woke up with a cold sweat. What did you do though? Doesn't say. What's their life about? I don't know.

But it's interesting we rated her life poorly, because our rating system is simply it will in this case It would be best life ever or worst life. Correct. Yeah, so we've said nah Bryn You've got the worst life ever. Yeah of everyone we know. That's right And we know some real losers. Oh my god, right? We knew a guy who pretended to be in the Air Force for a really long time That's right And he wore his posnick. He always posed in planes and cars.

He's like, here's my car. Pilot overalls. Why aren't you driving that car now if you own a Porsche? Where is it now? Oh, it's, you know. Dominic is getting detailed. All right. Overnight.

Yeah. It's getting an overnight detail. Also, it'll be ready in the morning, will it? I'd be to drive you back if you need to pick up your Porsche from the overnight Porsche detailing shop. But he used to wear the, he must have got second that flighto uniform. Yeah. Wear?

Cool and normal. Cool and normal guy. Yeah. Best life ever. I'm talking about how like people said I'd never do it, but here I am. God, that's, what a depressing life. Pretending to be a pilot. Hey, if you're out there pretending to be a pilot, email in, let us know.

How's it going? Is it sad like that or is it more of a catch me if you can fun kind of playboy in the air situation? I would like it to be a catch me if you can situation, but it's probably not because they probably would catch you if you were to go in and fly a jet. These days I reckon. Easily. They'd be like, where's your ID?

And you'd be like, I don't have any. And they'd be like, well, that's sort of important. Back in the day, they'd go, where's your ID? And you'd be like, I don't have any. And they'd be like, well, that's sort of important. Back in the day, they'd go, where's your ID? And you'd be like, we haven't invented that yet. And they'd go, absolutely, here's a martini. We'll put it next to your pilot's chair. And you'd be like, I will. Thanks, I will.

Cool. I got a letter here, Mason, from Josh, who says, will you be doing and or weekly reviews or wait until the whole show comes out, see how they want it finishes? We're going to do the whole thing at the end. And this next one speaks to us, speaks about that from Liam who says, how do you feel about Star Wars introducing extremely mature concepts such as SA, trigger warning by the way, for sexual assault, the time goes by if you do want to skip this, as seen in Andor? Is it too Rebel Moon edgy for edgy sake or do you think Star Wars can and should include such dark elements?

Rebel Moon felt like, I don't know, it didn't... Salacious. Yeah, and also like it didn't feel real. Didn't feel real, exactly, yeah, yeah. Whereas Andor felt like, it really harrowing and awful. I mean, you know, we'll, I'm sure we'll cover this when we cover the whole lot, but the first three episodes I think covered a lot of like issues that felt really real in the real world. Like in this sort of space opera setting.

Like there's a couple of scenes in the first two episodes where we keep cutting back from the rival rebels groups constantly infighting with each other and trying to kill each other over small misunderstandings. And then it cuts back to the secret meeting of the Imperials where they're like, we're going to do a lot of evil. And all the Imperials are like, we agree. But what kind of evil can we do? Yeah, yeah.

Oh, we've got so many options for evil. We've got so many options for evil. You know? And we've all bought our own ideas. That's right, and our own lunches. That we do? Yeah, yeah. Oh, we've got so many options for evil. We've got so many options for evil. You know? And we've all bought our own ideas. That's right. And our own lunches. That's right. Well, really. Have they bought their own lunch?

No, they supplied lunch. Okay. I was going to say, it seems like a room where they'd supply lunch. And it looks like, and everybody's having, yeah, no. Yeah. But I love just the idea of like, you know. The banality of. Yeah.

And the idea of, you know, like a lot of people say that about the left is like they're constantly just trying they would they would They would work better if they just presented a unified front, but so many groups of left-leaning Yeah, individuals are just like well. We got to knock this guy down a peg or two We're gonna chip away at this this person said the wrong thing this blah blah blah Whereas the the the other side are just like let's do some girl ghouls. Well, let's do some ghoulish stuff and they're like, yeah nice Yeah, nice. Yeah. Nice, actually.

I think, and I know there's been a lot of discourse around that scene in particular in Star Wars and comments about Darth Vader would never allow this. Famous child murderer Darth Vader. There also has been like SA in Star Wars before, like in expanded media. Also you mentioned this the other day, but Darth Vader just stood back while a planet was exploded. That's true. Like it was nothing.

He could have done the Force. He could have done the Force at any point. And they would have gone, switch doesn't work, we can't destroy Alderaan. Somebody's done the Force on that, but we don't know who. So I mean, for me, I thought it was done well. I mean, in terms of like, it felt realistic and harrowing and things like this, they, they, that happens. Like this is, there was like, as a result of conflict and people taking advantage of their, the, like the sliver of power that they have, will use that to their advantage to do horrible deeds. And a lot of the, like the things that are in this show that are currently

happening, they were written because these things have, yeah, well years ago even before, like, because now of course they're cracking down on immigration in the US in particular, it doesn't obviously just happen there. But like that is a, like, it's not like they wrote it just in time for this to happen. These things have always happened. Yeah, but you know, you kind of think you exist in a world of law and order, but like, you are still at the mercy of these like little dictators that work at checkpoints and whatever. Also Darth Vader wasn't there. He probably wouldn't approve of it, I guess. I don't know.

But he's also a fictional man and he was set on fire and all his genitals burnt off. I don't know what he's about. But yeah, he's- All his genitals? All of them. Wow. He bought a collection from home. That's great.

So yeah, they're all terrible in different ways. And again, like little men with a little bit of power just doing terrible things. The best guy is Cassie Nandor and he's terrible also. Yeah, he sucks. But he's just sure flying that plane around though. That's so true. And that was cool. Yeah, it was fun.

I thought it was incredible. Apparently it was also like the weaker episodes of what we're gonna be getting which um, I just thought it was amazing I yeah, I'll be very sad when this is over and that's the end of Star Wars. Tony Gilroy did an interview This week I think where he was like they're never gonna do anything like this again And I think he meant in terms of scope like real sets going on location all this sort of stuff But I mean ultimately he meant quality as well He didn't say that but I mean we all know and I like how he's just like yeah Darth Vader's not in it I don't even he doesn't say much so I'm just sorry so

yeah and I we have our own Darth Vader it's Ben Mendelsohn that's right and there's no like we know ultimately where this ends like cuz we've all seen Rogue One and Star Wars I assume that laser comes down and they escape through a time tree. That's right, but it ultimately doesn't matter. Anyway, it's incredible and it's the best show in Star Wars. And maybe just the best Star Wars. No, it is. Here's an email from Sam. Sam. Says this one's from Sam. Sam. G'day gents. I've recently started watching the studio and in the first episode they talk about making a Kool-Aid movie which got me thinking about which brand would be the stupidest to adapt

into film. My question for you is, if you had the power to make a movie about any brand you wanted, which one would you choose? The Chomp Crocodile. The Chomp Bar? The Chomp Crocodile. Does it? On the Chomp Bar?

Yeah. Okay, yeah. Okay. Who would you pick? Um, the... He's got a backwards hat and maybe a skateboard? Yeah. Okay, yeah. Okay. Who would you pick? He's got a backwards hat and maybe a skateboard. Yeah. He does have a skateboard.

Imagine this guy running around, skating around. Damn. He's cool. Yeah. You given any thought to his backstory or anything like that? No. Okay. I haven't.

Okay. Have you given any thought to it? What's in a chomp? It's like a chewy caramel situation. They're always like 60 cents still. Yeah right. Amazing. I reckon I would like to see a movie then based on Twix.

Oh. Because that's a chewy caramel. We're brothers. We're the Twix brothers. That's right. And we're fighting vampires. Exactly. That's right.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're trying to make a chocolate party. We're down from Chicago. Nice. And we're going to invite all the people. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And there's free chocolate for everybody. What are we going to do? The vampires are going to, they're going to, we're going to invite all the people. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And there's free chocolate for everybody.

What are we going to do? The vampire's going to bite. Well, we put caramel on your neck. Put a gooey caramel on you. They can't get through it. Amazing. Spoilers. And it also probably says something about society.

I think it does. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This is going to be like Deep Impact Armageddon. It's a counter program. It's the same thing. I'm sorry.

My movie and your movie? Yeah. Or are you making two Twix movies about um, deep impact Armageddon. This counter program. It's the same thing. I'm sorry. My movie and your movie or you making two Twix movies? I'm making one. You're making chomp and I'm making Twix and they're going to come in at the same week. I feel like I'm at a disadvantage because nobody knows what a chomp is. Yeah. But I got the Twix brothers.

You got Twix man. And the brothers. And they are brothers. They are brothers. It's true. Yeah. Okay. Great. Um, I, I enjoyed that Kool-Aid episode where it's like, because it really is like, that's the worst thing you could make. Absolutely, yeah. It's like when the Emoji movie came out, but I guess there's even more ideas in the Emoji movie than there are. Something else

terrible. I'm trying to think, because in America they have more cereal mascots, they have like Count Chocolat, etc. We don't really have not as much no. We've got Snap, Crackle and Pop. Mmm that's true. Worst mascots. I think Snap, Crackle and Pop are Rice Krispies mascots in America as well. Oh wow. That's right. Not to brag. There's some kind of baby. Mmm what about this? Two man, two man cop team. Yep. Head and shoulders. Oh okay. You know. I'm head. Head and shoulders. Oh, okay. You know, I'm head and I'm shoulders. That's right. Uh, we're bad cops. That's right. We're bad cops doing bad things. Yeah. Yeah. But look at our hair. Look how silky it is. So silky.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Just look at my shoulders is bald. What? Yeah. He shaves his head. Oh, he shaves his head. No, he says he shaves his head. He says he shaves his head. Yeah. But he is bald. Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes, you know, he's been on the case for a few days and you can see it's coming through but it's not quite Sticker on the side. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay shoulders. Yeah. All right shoulders. All right shoulders This is more and Ray who says hey there boys And then boys till dawn seeming like being a dart and last of us making waves with fans and critics Are there any game adaptations that came out bad at first but you think should get another chance to be translated to the big screen?

I mean they did that with Mario. Also, I'm not loving The Last of Us Season 2. Interesting. I've gone on tour yet. Not loving it. What do you think, mate? I think, I mean, I feel like the Silent Hill movies, well the first one I remember quite liking. Yeah.

There's a lot of, there's a room for that to be. They didn't try to do too much with the Silent Hill movies. You know? Would you like to do more? No, I'm saying I think that was probably pitched correctly. Oh, okay. Gotcha. It was just sad and weird and that lady got set on fire or something.

Do you think Borderlands could be good? Ah, not after the last one. I mean, Max Payne, but what do you do with it? It's just an action movie. It's just an action movie, yeah. With slow motion shooting. Yeah. Doom? I mean I think you can do more with like demons. You can absolutely do more with Doom. There was a Doom movie from a few years ago actually. Doom movie? Yeah, the yeah, had a BFG9000 in it probably. Yeah, you could do a Doom movie if you just did the, I mean, and again, some people are sort of against the overwhelming amount of lore. Not me.

Yeah, I love the too much lore from Doom Eternal and the ancient gods and all that sort of stuff. I think it's cool. I feel like, and we talked about these not that long ago, like Assassin's Creed and Warcraft, there is definitely something there that you could do an expanded version of, which is strictly the games. But they did that in the movies and they were both not great. We are getting a new Street Fighter, Blood Reign, we could do that. I mean they're doing Resident Evil again, that could be interesting.

That's so true. And the director of that seems to be a good one. Injustice live action? They did the movies, they did some animated movies. Wouldn't mind seeing some Injustice in live action. How did the movies, they did some animated movies. What am I saying? Some injustice in live-action. How do you feel about the Angry Birds movies? What about the Angry Video Game Nerds movies? I saw that.

Yes? Good job. Would have been hard to make, I assume. Yes, that's right. It's difficult to make any movie. Completely agree. That's all I'll say to that. That's all my emails though, Mason. Might have one more email, let's find it. Wow. What do I have to do? Shut up. No, just kidding. You can film. A lot of these are also like, oh, would you want to see an Uncharted movie? Again, not really.

Not really. You had your chance and you ruined it. That's right. I like Tomb Raider. I think, you know, to lend themselves to like an Indiana Jones style movie, but again, that is also not dissimilar from Uncharted. So my brother just messaging me. Which one? The one that you like. Nice. We're going to dinner. Just me and him. And our families. To hash some stuff out. We have to, Mason. You know about a relationship. It is frayed and fraught. Do you agree? No, I think it's good. All you've got. I think it's good. How do you feel about Final Fantasy again? Prince of Persia again? Five Nights at Freddy again? Wouldn't mind Prince of Persia again, honestly.

Are you saying it because it's just Sandals and sorcery? I love Prince of Persia, but I don't want that. What about if you could watch Need for Speed again? But the original. The one with Aaron Paul in it? I've not finished that. Why would I have? But you could watch it again Speed again, but the original? The one with Aaron Paul in it. Yeah. I've not finished that. Why would I?

You could watch it again. Oh, but it's slower? Yeah, it's slower and worse. It's probably something in the Hitman movies. I'm just going through a list here. Well, I'm padding for time. I know, but I've found another email. Thank God.

This is from Matthew. Wing Commander? Another Wing Commander. No, no, absolutely not. This is from Matthew. Matthew. He says, I was in the Bourne Ultimatum. What?

Hello, lads, g'day, and hopefully this reaches you around the time that you reach Bourne 3. Bourne goes to London and uses the web. Coming out two weeks, baby. Perfect time to reach out and say I worked as an extra for years and I was in many things including the Penrose steps in In Inception. That's the one where they go up the steps and it's like. That's awesome. How can we go up these steps when they're going down? These are Penrose-ing. Yeah, that's right. Who's Penrose-ing steps when they're going down? These are Penrosing. Yeah, that's right. Who's Penrosing these steps? Penrose, get out of here.

Is it you Christopher Nolan? Get in here. Sorry, go on. Who's that talking? Achilleberty. Well, he was the boss on that set. Yeah, he was. Well, all right.

That's great. And he was in the Penrose steps in Inception and two scenes in the Bourne Ultimatum. I'm somewhere in the Waterloo Station set piece. That's a good set piece. I agree. But also when he goes to the Internet Cafe, I'm sitting directly opposite him. He stepped on my toes at one point and was perfectly polite. So I can say an Oscar winner apologized to me.

Mmm, that's good. Because I mean normal people are always apologizing to Oscar winners, I think. Completely agree, as they should. Yeah. Oh, Zoe. Zoe kill you, Murphy. Sorry for Oh Zoe. Zoe kill you Murphy. Sorry for Penrose. Get Christopher Nolan in here. Who's this idiot talking to me? Christopher Nolan.

Christopher Nolan. Anyway, thanks as always for the excellent pod and the excellent laughs. I'd love you guys to do a weekly planet context-disode one day to fill in listeners on who you actually are and who you were when you started all this insanity. No. No, Matthew. No. Whatever. We've gone too far there.

There's enough information of us out there where you could piece it together, right? I think so, yeah. Yeah, but no. I don't know. What do you want to know? Yeah. What do you want to know? Yeah. What do you think he wants to know?

What we're wearing. I'm wearing a jumper. Yeah, nice. You're wearing a denim jacket. I'm wearing a denim jacket. Yeah. Below the waist? That's our little secret. A second denim jacket.

That's right. That's right. That's the true double denim. A'm wearing a denim jacket. Yeah. Below the waist? That's our little secret. A second denim jacket. That's right. That's right. That's the true double denim. A lot of people don't think that. They think it's jeans and a denim jacket. And you might think it's a tiger around his waist.

No, he's put his legs through the arms and he's wearing a denim jacket like a pair of pants. That's right. And I'm also doing that. God, our budget for denim jackets is insane. Dude. Yeah. It's out of control. It's out of control, right? But it's worth it.

But it's also hard to order because what sizing you even going for, because your legs are thicker than your arms. That's true, isn't it? Well, not mine. I'm built like an emu. Mason. You'll be a bit like a baked potato with two French fried legs. Should we wrap it up?
