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, you're hanging about.

I am hanging about. Getting this machine rolling. I feel like you are. Now you normally cracked that can open mid spiel Thank you for noticing, but now you've done it early. Yeah, it's gone on there that way I've got a clean can sound that's put it in to a little bit later. Yeah, when you give up cans I want I'll never give up cans mate. Okay hands man. You know that that's a one It's kind of cokes better than a bottle of coke Cannabias better than a bottle of beer. Mm-hmm is a can of coke better than than a bottle of Coke. Can of beer's better than a bottle of beer. No, not true.

Is a can of Coke better than a glass bottle of Coke? Yes. No, it's not. Yeah, it is. Yeah, glass bottle of Coke is a better idea, and aesthetically, yeah, I agree with you. Okay. But no, can of Coke is better.

You got some funny takes, man. It's true. Some odd takes. People don't like me. People agree. People email in, what's the best delivery system for Coke? A Cola. That's also the lightest.

Mason. Hello. It's a big week this week because we're talking about How to Train Your Dragon. No we're not. Aren't we? No. What did you watch? I watched Materialist.

I watched that also. From that fine director A24. That's true, A24 did it. Good on him or her or they. That's right. We're also going to be talking about Karate Kid Legends. No we're not. Do you watch that one as well?

I didn't watch that. What did you watch? I watched the movie Materialist. That's what I watched. It's got Captain America and Madame Web and also the Mandalorian in it. So that's the link. He's also Reed Richards. He's Mr. Fantastic.

Reed Richards, that's true. So that's good. And he's Joelastivus. Yeah and he's very similar to Reed Richards in the movie as well for a reason we'll get into. Oh yeah. You know what I'm talking about. Oh, I he's very similar to Reed Richards in the movie as well for a reasonable get into You know what I'm talking about Didn't even think about it. That's that's a spoiler. We'll get about it later. Also, we're recording this very early in the way That's right. We have to we're we're this is a Thursday

Yeah, so we're hoping now no news happens in the next few days, but if it does we don't want to hear about it That's right. We're hoping no one dies. Yeah, in fact, I hoping no one dies ever again. Wow. And it's interesting you're not taking that stance James. I'm happy for a lot of people to die. That's really interesting. Yeah. But it's good we have both sides I think. Agreed. Yeah. Maybe we could meet somewhere in the middle. Some people die? Because you want everyone to die. Yeah I guess. Yeah. No one's happy though. Mason. Yes. If people do want to skip to anything there's time codes below because the wonderful Rob Collings who edits this, he makes that happen. That's right. This week we're going to be talking about Wonder Woman movie confirmed, it's happening. We're going to be talking about... We're going to be talking about... There's a new trailer for Superman

as its tickets go on sale. It's the tickets on sale trailer. There's some other things going on there including what's going on with the post-credit scene and a potential sequel. Uh oh. Then there's been some first reactions to Mortal Kombat 2. What? Not the game or the movie they already made, the one that they filmed. There have been some reactions to Mortal Kombat 2 the game. Yeah, it's good. People are like, whoa! That's my favourite one.

No, Mortal Kombat 4 is my favourite, even though I know it's 3D. It's not everybody's favourite, I like it, I think it's fine. Four? Four is my favourite. God, you've got some weird taste. Yeah, people don't like it. No. They think I'm awful.

Wow. Are you including the modern ones? Yeah. And it's still four? Yeah. Of the old school ones? It's not three? Three's the best of the old school ones. Never loved three. I like two over one. I like two over three. Interesting. Yeah. I don't mind Mortal Kombat 1 on the Game Gear either.

I played a bit of that at a friend's house. I played Mortal Kombat 1. I had Mortal Kombat 1 on the Game Gear. Yeah, it was blood free but then you put it in the code. Yeah. And then it was blood. Or you could just put blood on the screen. Put your own blood on the screen. Put your own blood on the screen.

Anyway, an update on Mortal Kombat 2. Yes. What's going on there. And then of course we're going to talk about HBO Max and how it's back and why it's back and who gets paid for that. Is it back in Australia? Because as people may know, it was just launched as Max. I don't know if it's going to be back in Australia because it was never here in Australia.

We never had HBO Max here. It was all on fucking Fox Delve and then Binge. To have the worst services on earth. Anyways, mates, let's start here. This is by EW. James Gunn was talking about Wonder Woman and he said, we are working. Can I just point out something, James? If you type in HBO Max to the Google Play Store in Australia, Max isn't even the

first result. It's Paramount Plus. Incredible. Good work, Max. Yeah. You're so good at this. I found out the other day I was paying for Paramount Plus. Yeah, it's some good stuff. And I think some, I know, but I wasn't watching anything on there. I wasn't watching Dexter, fucking Origins or whatever it is. Dexter but a boy. There's Dexter but a boy and there's Dexter but an old man. Why? When are they going to do Dexter in his prime? Yeah, they did that. Remember? No, I want another one. Okay. But it still has to be Anthony, Michael C. Hall? Anthony Michael Hall. Yeah. It has to be Anthony Michael Hall. RIP. Agreed. Now it has to be Michael C. Hall and he's doing the original

series of Dexter again, but he's the age he is now. Agreed. Yeah. And they put him in because like when you do, when you youthify, like when you youthified the Saw Guy, there's an incredible... There's a putty and baseball cap. I mean they youthify him in that with a wig. Right, but now we've got a middle of the road youthifying.

So how do we do that? Open collar. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Open collar and a tan. Mason. Go on. So James Gunn said, we're working on Wonder Woman as in a Wonder Woman movie. Wonder Woman is being written right now.

This isn't a surprise. I think we've even talked about it before. Obviously they're recasting. They're not doing Gal Gadot anymore. Correct. Which everybody's okay with as far as I can understand. I know I am. They're also still working on the Paradise Lost HBO series, which is the series set on

Themyscira, which is a prequel kind of origin-y kind of thing about the world. It's like Game of Thrones, but... Interesting, okay. Themyscira, Wonder Woman, Paradise Island, et cetera. Which could be a bit of fun or... I don't know. I don't know. Do I? No, but that's another of your famous takes. And I think that's good. That I don't know. You don't know. You don't have to know. You don't have to have a hot take on everything.

How are you feeling about the casting of Wonder Woman? You want somebody- I don't know what it is, James. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Would you want somebody known? Or unknown. Or unknown. Never known.

Like we never learn what their name is. Like, Corrin Sweat, I think, is the perfect balance of a guy who's been in some things, Twister too. Sure. But also not that many things. And then you see him and you're like, well, this is how I associate this man with this character of Superman, because he's fresh and new and clean and cool. It's all right.

Probably. I haven't seen it yet. We used to be fresh and new and clean and cool. Don't remember that. Now we're rotten and old and grubby and whatever the last one was. Cool. We're still cool. We're still cool.

We're still cool, but to a different demographic. That's right. Grubs. so yeah, what do you think? Ah Boy good question. I mean, I like the idea if there's an if there's a new, you know, there's a new face out there Yeah, but I mean, you know There's been a few there's a few been a few people in the media that I wouldn't mind seeing as who plays Bix in and or Oh, I do. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She'd be good. Yep. Katie O'Brien I think would be good.

Yep. Some people have said Ballerina's own Anna de Armas. Oh yes. Yeah. Some people have said Ben Affleck. Bring him back. I mean, I, on the one hand, I guess we see Wonder Woman as like comparable size wise to the other two in the DC Trinity.

So Superman and Batman. So she has to be tall. But I guess- And the current swimmer is huge as well. Yeah, he is huge. Yeah. But I guess, or maybe we do it like the animated series style where all the men are like huge and all the women are like- No way. Half the width. Yeah. I don't know. Is that what you want?

No. You like these gender stereotypes? Yeah, man. God, he's bringing some hot takes here. It's very convenient. And as one of the worst people, I agree. Yeah, it's very convenient for blind purchasing action figures.

You just go girl one, boy one, there it is. Yeah, I hope Anna Diamis would work. I mean, you do it with camera angle. She also doesn't have to be, I guess she doesn't have to be tall. Yeah, put them in boots also. Oh, so I don't know how tall any of these women are, honestly. I can't tell.

They're all 5'4". Yeah, everyone's 5'4 in Hollywood. Yeah. I don't know how they did that. Well let's do a quick look up on a deer. I reckon she's 5'6". Okay. Also these will be accurate because the men are always lying. Yeah. She's 1.68 meters. What is that? Come on man. Come on. What is she height in the old money? 56 okay exactly what I said. All right then. Yeah Good enough good enough. It's perfect Tom Cruise height. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I'm gonna do one I'm gonna look up Wonder Woman fan cast and we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna dredge through this

All right, we're gonna change this director this now we're gonna have to through this all right we're gonna try this direct do this now we're gonna have to Oh Charlie Fraser she's um furious a lady oh she's great yeah yeah yeah she's just trying also yeah and that's may as well be the Amazon yep as far as I'm concerned delightful yep that's okay done like that oh yeah we nearly had a Megan Gale yeah yeah she's trying also there is also Kalamawi who is, she was in Moon Knight. Okay, yeah. Yeah, I liked her. She's got a good look about her.

Yep. And others. People said Margaret Qualley. She's not smiley enough. She could be smileier. I thought you said smiley enough. She's not smiley enough. She's not smiley enough.

She should smile more, I feel. There's been some Melissa Barrera fan art. From the Scream franchise. Okay that works. Might be interesting going from Gal Gadot to her for political reasons. Oh yes that's true. Don't hate this though. This piece of fan art.

And that's the absolute Wonder Woman look. Yeah. Anyway we gotta move it along. We gotta move it along. We can't objectify women all episode. No. That's behind the paywall. That's right. So now in sale tier.

That's right. That's right. Mason, trailers ahoy. Oh. Just the biggest one you can think of. It's the final tickets are on sale now for Superman trailer. That's right. I watched this once and I will not watch it again.

Yeah. I feel like there's a lot of things in here that I could dig into and be like, what's that? Who's this? Why is this opening up? Who's that guy? Etc. Why is this opening up? Yeah. Okay. You know, the earth, etc. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But we will do a brief pilot. People should skip this. If you just, if you, if at this point you don't want to know anymore about the Superman movie. I mean, it's a month away at this point. We see Lois Lane operating what I think is Mr. Terrific's little Mr. Terrific UFO. That's cool. That's fun.

What else do we see? Some laser vision from another person with laser vision. Is it not the Hammer of Baravia or that guy? Maybe but it's Mask Off as well. Oh yeah right okay. Lex Luthor's commanding a bunch of stuff going on. I do like this threatening Superman this he just hates Superman so much He's such a hater. Just a bitch. Yeah

He's in the other trailers he's crying because he hates Superman so much good That's what we want in a Lex Luthor just under the ultimate hater. Yeah Is this the trailer where we see Guy Gardner's ring doing the flip in the bird? I think that might be from an earlier thing that that TV spot in the week But yeah, maybe it is in this briefly because it's going to be in the Washington Awards. Where you see him flipping tanks, but he's using big green lantern fingers and whatever. I don't know if you also saw the clip of James Gunn sitting with Nathan Fillion about figuring out what kind of bowl cutter to give him.

Did you see that? I didn't see that, no. A lot of fun. And they almost did a cool kind of, like a textured one. And they're both like, no, we need to go back to... I think he's going to get a little more cool at the end. Well, he's going to be in lanterns. Yeah. And that's a serious, gritty.

Yeah. True detective style. Yeah. Show with Green Lantern people. Yeah, that's right. So maybe they'll do it for that. Oh, no, my batteries are dead. We just have to be regular. Pretty good. Pretty good. What else do we say in this? Oh, we say this bit with Mr.

Trophix berating Superman for flying down on the job and he's like, I'm doing stuff here. Oh, exactly. You knock the guy's teeth out. He does. Who is that guy? Dunno. I probably a Lex Corp soldier. Yeah. They look like that. There's a moment where he hate visions a bunch of people and they look like your Lex Corp, guys in little battle suits or something. Love all that man. I got to say, I mean, I hope it's very good. I hope it's very good also.

Yeah, I'd hate it to be somewhere in between of you hating it and me loving it. I want it to be either really, really bad or really, really good. I don't think it's going to be really bad. How would they manage that? Well, we say that and sometimes it happens. I think it's going to be light, obviously, in tone. I think a lot of people are not going to like that. I think there's going to be... I mean, we've already seen online a lot of... And it's not just the Snyder fans, but mostly. And look, I mean...

It's just like, this is not what I want. One thing, yeah, I think... But I mean, based on what we've seen of the number of people watching the previous trailers and that sort of stuff, I think people are looking forward to this. And I also think people are gonna enjoy what I think has been lacking in a lot of sort of the biggest Superman media, which is a guy, which is Superman fighting guys

of equal power to himself, you know? A bunch of them. A bunch of them. Just punching and kicking and shit. I love it. Monsters. Did you see also, they spoke about the trunks again? Oh yes. James Gunn was like, I like the idea of the trunks in theory, but how do you make

this work? Like design wise, it looks silly. And also otherwise then you find a practical reason to do it, which is also kind of impossible. And it was David Corrin's where it was just like, well, he wears trunks because it makes him goofy and approachable. Like a wrestler. Yeah. Cause people are like, would be terrified of of this guy because he's an alien who can shoot heat vision and knock down buildings and whatever. But if he's like this approachable kind of goofball in a colorful costume, then you kind of take that element away, which I think is great. So it does have a post-credit scene.

And James Gunn had a quote on this. He said, I have a philosophy a post-credit scene. And James Gunn had a quote on this. He said, I have a philosophy about post-credit scenes. It's somewhat related to my own mistakes in my time at Marvel. Okay, René Descartes. Whoa. Because he's a big philosopher. Okay. Jean-Luc Picard.

Okay, Jean-Luc Picard. All right. All right, you're doing multi-dimensional chess. Is that a real game that you can actually play? It is now. It is now, but it is. Everyone's talking about it. He said, it's somewhat related to my own mistakes in my time at Marvel.

I did not like the post-credit scene. I did not like the post-credit scene. I did not like the post-credit scene. I did not like the post-credit scene. I did not like the post-credit scene. I did not like the post-credit scene. dimensional chess. Okay, is that a real game that you can actually play? It is now. Yeah, it is now, but it is everyone's talking about. It's somewhat related to my own mistakes in my time at Marvel. I did not like what I did in Guardians 2 where we set up Adam Warlock and we set up Guardians of the Galaxy and we set up all this shit that I didn't necessarily plan on. Yeah, and of course he didn't want to put Adam Warlock in 3, but it's kind of like I have to. And he didn't want to work him well. And he didn't want to use Thor in Guardians 3 so he had to Luckily they removed him for the worst Thor so that's good. They did in Thor 4 Nothing wrong with that

We're doing in the worst movie mason. Nothing wrong with that Yeah, is he wouldn't really work in that team because they're a scrappy team of idiots and he's an idiot Yeah, but like he could also steamroll everybody so yeah, not as much fun And then you also got Adam Warlock, etc. So you got to like things running around. Yeah. I mean, it all worked out in the end because those are all good movies. I agree. And movies are good. I agree. Yeah.

There's also a quote here from EW where it was asked about a sequel to Superman. He said, what I'm working on is in some way, I mean, yes, yes, yes, yes. But it is a straight up but is it a straight up Superman Superman sequel? I would not, I wouldn't not say necessarily. That says to me that it's going to be some kind of team up situation, not necessarily a Justice League, which you said they are building towards. I don't think it's going to be Justice League. Either a Batman Superman meeting, but maybe not a punch up necessarily like Batman V Superman. Oh, there'd be a bit of a punch up. There'll be a little bit of a punch up.

Maybe it's a interstellar kind of Superman. It'll be what we've always wanted since day one, since minute one of this podcast. They meet, they punch for a bit, then they're mates. And then they stop another guy. Yeah. I mean, that was Batman Superman. Oh, it wasn't.

Yes, it was. That's literally what happened. They punch for a bit. Yeah. They did punch for a bit. But they punch for a bit early. They're... They weren't really mates, were they? More like work. They're like, more like we have similar mothers names. Yeah, that did punch for a bit and they might early good there. They weren't really mates

Were they more like what well I more like we have similar mothers names. Yeah, that's right And that's mates and is my friends have the same. Yeah, all our mothers have the same name. Actually, that's how we met It's interesting. Yeah, that never struck. He was odd. No, it's intentional. I did on purpose on accident. You did it on purpose Yes, Mason. Okay. Are you only made friends with people who had the same name? Yeah, correct I understand that our mothers don't have the same name and I want you to think about that Because we're colleagues and not friends. That is true Check and mate. So I don't know. I mean, maybe it's a maybe it's a Trinity movie. Maybe. Yeah, which again was Batman They did a lot of things in that movie didn't they?

Boy they did. It's hard to do an idea that's not in that movie. In a way it's the only full and complete movie isn't it? I'm turning over to the Snyder Bros side honestly. Alright. It's got everything you want and nothing you don't. So true Mason. God Superman month away.

Oh exciting. They're excited. If you're an Amazon member or something, you can see it on July 8th or something. I don't normally go for screenings. I might go to this one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know. We'll see.

Mason, this is via comicbook.com. I've heard of them. They spoke to Jeremy Slater, who was a screenwriter on the upcoming Mortal Kombat 2, which is a sequel to Mortal Kombat which came out Three years ago. And they asked him if they're finally gonna do a Mortal Kombat. He said no. Oh what? So they're doing a Street Fighter. Okay interesting. Wow. So apparently for one the movie has been complete for a while Okay, and they're waiting for the right release date and waiting for the right window But apparently they're having to bloody chuck it out to to bloody chuck the bloody film cans out of it.

Oh yeah, you think so? Chuck them out of a window. You think so? Yeah. Into a garbage truck. Well, now according to test screenings, which are full of Mortal Kombat fans, according to Jeremy Slater, and watching them react in the way I reacted to Avengers Endgame, there was cheering and jumping out of their seats.

Every joke is landing and they are loving it. Unless they're doing it for memes. No, it's one of the greatest sarcastic. No, it's one of the greatest moments of my life. That's why you get into this business. I mean that at the very least sounds like that this is going to be if you like Mortal Kombat. Well, that's what you're getting. So, uh, great. If you like Mortal Kombat, well, this is what you're getting. Yeah, yeah, it's beautiful. You... mean, I think the the last Mortal Kombat, I know it didn't have an actual Mortal Kombat. Yeah. But it was like a, you know, I had all the stuff in it. A lot of the stuff in it a lot and the armadillo man and more. I was going to say

armadillo man. Armadillo. Yeah. It that movie had everything you wanted and even some stuff you didn't know you wanted like an armadillo man. Cool. his armadillo power. Cole Trickle or whatever his name was. And it had that Australian go place Kano. I thought it was funny. He was very good wasn't he? He was the best part of that movie I think. Is he in this one? I don't think so.

He probably died. Yeah we didn't need to think about it. No because they resurrect everybody in or Shao Kahn took them away or whatever. Remember? No. That happened at the end. Okay. I wasn't convinced by the idea of Karl Urban as Johnny Cage but I've seen some like behind

the scenes stills of him now and I'm like no that actually that that plays actually I was convinced like hell oh yeah I was like this is convinced me yeah so I have no problem with it and everybody I know agrees with me that's great yeah that's great agreed I mean we're getting a street fright as well aren't we I saw a rumor that Walter Wally Goggs is gonna be M Bison. Oh yeah, I did see that rumor also. Don't hate that. Don't hate it. Don't hate it Mason. Now you're not going to believe this. Do you think he'll get buffed up or do you think they'll just

give him a big puffy red suit? Big puffy red suit. Yeah. I mean he's pretty buff. He is buff actually. He's a lean man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's more of a lean man than a buff man. And Bison like, I mean, I guess it depends what version but like the kind of what I think of like the Street Fighter Alpha version, bison's like enormous. Yeah, like a bison. Like a bison. Yes. Yes.

Yeah, man. Variety are telling us that HBO Max is back. It's back. In a press release from Warner Brothers Discovery, which are now two separate entities, which we'll talk about Warner Brothers and Discovery. They said, returning the HBO brand into HBO Max will further drive the service forward and amplify the uniqueness that subscribers can expect from the offering. It is also a testament to Warner Brothers Discovery's willingness to keep boldly iterating

its strategy and approach. God, I love the bold iteration. Leading heavily on consumer data and insights. Oh, I love consumer data and insights. Oh, consumer data and insights. To best position itself a success by going back. This is a new Coke back to old Coke situation. Kind of feels like it, doesn't it? But not a marketing strategy in terms of like, we'll do this and then people will.

Was that the marketing strategy for real? No, I mean, some people are saying that like that's the room. No, I meant with the Coke. Oh, no, I'm saying some people say that, but no, I don't think it was just a genuine mistake. After the coming. They did it with Tim Tams though. Did they? Well, that's what they did.

Made them worse? No, no, that's why they always do the limited edition Tim Tams because people buy one pack and they're like, this is fine. But remember Tim Tams? Yeah. And they buy a year's worth of Tim Tams, regular Tim Tams. Because they remember the Tim Tams. I can't eat. I can't buy Tim Tams.

Why not? Because you can't go through them. Yeah. I'm an animal. I can't keep junk food in the house Look at me. That's the one take you you bloody right on my Tim Tams are good I actually do have half a packet of open Tim Sam in the back of my cupboard How long have they been open seven years? Maybe the the the biscuit will have gone bad. No doesn't matter I'm not gonna eat them. It'll have gone bendy. Like one of those rubber cheese. It's a battle of wills. Between you and the Tim Tam.

I'm winning. Between you and an inanimate packet of Tim Tams. Who's winning? Okay, now let me ask you this. Single coat or double coat? I'll do a chewy caramel, but double coat. Come on, man. Come on, man.

I know you think you're throwing me lifelines here, but I don't need your fucking charity alright? I don't need to be relatable. I'm a podcaster. Chewy Carowell. People already think I'm a fucking lunatic. Yeah. Like, what are you doing? Do you want to humanise me? What are you doing? Everybody says double cup, but I'm saying I'm a purist. I think single coat is the best.

Yeah, sure. They're all good. They're all good. Even the white ones are good. Yeah, they're all good. They're not sponsored by TimTams, by the way. No, not yet. After the coming change, back to HBO Max was announced at the upfront. Warner Brothers Discovery relaunched its dormant HBO Max accounts on social media. This is fun. Brands getting involved on social media.

I hope somebody acquired one of the social media handles They had to buy back. Unfortunately not the newly resurrected HBO Max X account Formally known as sweatermason posted what is dead may never die featuring a clip from Game of Thrones a show that People didn't like in the end. I guess so true. Yeah. Anyway, isn't there a bit of a There's a bit of a situation in terms of who got paid for this Well, I mean, this is from this. I don't know if this has been substantiated or not, but somebody on Twitter named Chris Back said, he's quoted, he's got some numbers here.

In 2022, McKinsey, which is a consulting firm, was paid $55 million to advise Warner Brothers to combine with Discovery. From 2022 to 2025, McKinsey charged Warner Brothers' Discovery $37 million by advising the company to change HBO to HBO Max, then to Max, then back to HBO Max. In 2025, McKinsey billed Warner Brothers' Discovery an additional $63 million to determine that Warner Brothers and Discovery should be separate brands again. This is all good stuff. It is all good stuff. I do like the waste of money. I think maybe what is happening though is they've separated the money making ones from the losers and they're going to sell off the losers.

Okay, that's what's going on here. Yeah. Yeah, I think because they're keeping, they're keeping... I mean the brand is, of HBO is, it's worth something. Yeah, I think... Not because of what they've done recently. Yeah. It's decades of like...

And there is some... Quality. Recently. Yeah, it's it's decades of like and then there is some quality the the split between Warner Brothers and Discovery at this point. It's not exactly how it was, you know a few years ago Yeah, there are a couple of companies that have you know gone the other way But for the most part it really is like they've just taken the Discovery Channel stuff and they've yeah thrown it this way And they're like, so I don't know, man. I don't know, man. I don't know.

I don't know either. Well, at least somebody's making money. Yeah, McKinsey, apparently. They're the company that will charge like a company $300,000 for a spreadsheet or a PowerPoint presentation or whatever. Hey, if people pay for it, stupid idiots know, you get what you're paid for. Wow. Especially. Not in this case. You don't.

No, you got nothing. You got nothing. But I don't know. I don't know if these figures are real, but yeah, like it as a ballpark, it seems about right. Sure. Yeah. And it makes them seem stupid. So yeah, that's good. Yeah. But we know that part's true. Do you have here, speaking of everything, do you have that Disney and my finger? Do you have Disney and Universal have sued mid journey? No, I think okay. This is from Dexito Okay, tell us what's going on Disney and Universal have sued AI company mid journey for copyright infringement mid journey is dot dot dot a bottomless Pit of plagiarism agreed. Let me find the article here We are bringing this action today to protect the hard work of all the artists whose work entertains and inspires us.

I don't know how reliable Dexito are, but I don't know, this might be the big one. This was quite recent, this has been the last couple of hours. Earlier this week, a BFI report, British Film Institute, found that more than 130,000 movie and TV scripts have been used to train generative AI models. Prior to this was the AI image generator trend on chat, GPT, Studio Ghibli, etc. etc. The issue is that with no laws in place, tech companies are operating in a legal gray zone. However, Disney and Universal is refusing to put up with it. Disney and Universal filed a landmark lawsuit against AI firm. Filed on Wednesday, June the 11th. It's the first time major Hollywood companies have sued over AI generated imagery

according to the New York Times. The Hollywood studios claim that the firm helped itself to countless copyrighted works from its various properties. And so it's not only the scripts, but it's also like just endless hours of video and et cetera. Which in turn allows users to create imagery that blatantly incorporate and copy Disney and Universal's famous characters.

I suspected this was happening. I was going to double check. This is real. Yeah. I also think this is also because Disney would want to control this. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Yeah.

Cause they want to use it. Uh, they would want to use this and they have, I mean, they've been scanning people on Star Wars sets to use them as background extras. Like we know that. So this is like, this is like, you know, record companies taking on Napster so they can make fucking Spotify. This is not like an act of charity. No, absolutely not. It's a series of...

It's two evil companies suing another evil company is what it is. But yeah, this isn't going to... And there's like... They've got some examples. When you look at the lawsuit data. There's like here's some images of Iron Man from Iron Man 1 and then if you go to mid-journey and you Type in Iron Man in response to the prompt Iron Man flying action photo mid-journey access the data about Disney's copyrighted works That is stored by the image service and then reproduced publicly displayed and made available for download an image output that copies

Disney's Iron Man character is shown in the screenshot. So yeah, it's just that and Star Wars stuff Simpson stuff. But yeah, this is this is the this is the big loss that it happened with the music industry Yeah, Naps to think also but like sampling in the 80s. Yeah, where it there was no laws and then there's a lot of Beastie Boy stuff didn't the Beastie Boys stuff didn't it? Yeah, no, no, the Beastie Boys, because they had an album called Paul's Boutique, which was all samples. When this copyright issue started, they very quickly wrote up some contracts and they actually

got a very good deal. Oh, they got ahead of it. Yeah, the people that didn't were De La Soul. Oh, but yeah, like these days, if you... Some people have looked... There's articles you can find about if you were to make Paul's boutique today, how much would it cost? And it's like tens of millions of dollars.

It would be no point making it or releasing it. But yeah, that's... So I should stop? You should stop trying to remake Paul's boutique. But yeah, like that. So there were no rules. And then a couple of high profile, like it was vanilla ice and, uh, UC hammer, they got sued. And then the laws, you know, those set precedent of like, you have to pay and you have to ask for permission

and you have to credit and all this sort of stuff. And that's, I think, I mean, if, if this is going ahead, that's probably where it's going to have to go. And I think it's probably going to be like, we haven't mentioned it, but Natasha Lyon's was, she's putting together a movie using AI or something like that. And she said something along the lines of, okay, we're only using this particular database or whatever. No, I don't know. Okay.

I don't know, man. But I think that's probably how it's going to go. Notwithstanding the destruction of the right post. Like particular databases. Yeah, yeah. So you'd be like, okay, you can use Mid Journey to build an image or a video, whatever it is. Do you want to use the public domain stuff or you can pay licensing fees to incorporate copyrighted stuff? That's probably how it's going to go, I find to guess. Well, that's fun. That is fun. We're having fun.

Not always. We're having fun. We're having a good time. Hey, Disney, guess what? You can't copyright my incredible Marge Simpson impression. We're having fun, homie. You know? Yeah?

Yeah. Because you're my homie. Thank you. Would you like to go? I don't think that's a legal defense you can use. Well, come at me Disney. Come at me one of the biggest entertainment corporations in the world. What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do? Garnish my wages forever? Maybe?

All right, shall we move it along to the thing we're gonna talk about? How to Train Your Dragon, you say? No, wrong. On a budget of 150 million dollars, Why Did You Train This Dragon looks to be one of the biggest feature films of 2025. I'm happy for it. They've taken what was essentially a movie. Oh, yeah, I've heard of 2025. I'm happy for it. They've taken what was essentially a movie. Oh yeah, I've heard of movies. And taken the same director and then done it. But again, but there's people in it and they're real people now and they're like, how are we

going to train this dragon? And should we? That's the ethical question that it poses. Okay, that's a modern question. The answer is yes, obviously. You can do it. You can do all sorts of cool things. And do they? Yeah, probably. Yep. You saw it. I didn't see it. I actually You can do it. You can do all sorts of cool shit with the drag. And do they? Yeah, probably. Yep. You saw it. I didn't see it. I actually didn't watch it. I watched the materialist. Mr. Materialist. Miss Materialist. I also watched it. So it's called Materialists.

What did you think the budget was? Was it $20 million? Was it? Yes. Was it? It's looking to have a US opening weekend of about $11 million. Okay. Not bad. The world over, this will make its money back it seems and probably then some because it's reviewing very well Mm-hmm. It's a cut. It's the kind of movie that it's it's advertises the kind of movie

They don't put in cinemas anymore, but it's not it's not that the rom-coms of old No, which surprised me not in a bad way. Hmm, because it's it's got well Well, what do you mean a story was I'm getting to man? Let me tell you sorry for our come on man also ballerina is underperforming. Oh, yeah. Yeah happens because Most of the John wick stuffs in the trailer. Yeah, that's why I gotta get out of here. He doesn't say that I gotta get back to John wick 3 John wick 3 I get it back to my own movie Yeah, sorry go home you say get it back to my own movie. I'm in. Yeah. Sorry. I won't be saying. Cairns. Cairns. Cairns. It's just Cairns. It's just

with the Cairns. Cairns. Yeah. I'm going to get back to that one. Cairns. Now what's the movie called? Speed. No, it's not. Was it? That was in Speed. Oh, I'm thinking of the other one. Speed 2. No. Johnny Mnemonic. No. The Lake House. The surfy one. Point Break. Yes. Doesn't he say cans in point break? It's in um... Speed. Speed.

Wow. Yeah. Wow. Don't I look the fool. Yep. Okay so here's your classic rom-com trope. Not only is Dakota Johnson, not only is she a single gal living in New York, but she's a...

Why's she doing that? She's a dating coach. She's hitch. She's Lady Hitch. She's Lady Hitch. And that's good and life is good and everything's good. Everything's good, man. She's hitch. She's lady hitch. She's lady hitch. And that's good and life is good and everything's good. Everything's good man. She's put together nine marriages. That's right.

Which isn't as many as I thought she would have. Yeah but it's a lot of work isn't it? It's a lot of work. She hasn't done this that long I don't think. That's true. That's quite seems to be a lot and they're all like you know. I mean she's 35, get it together. Yeah right.

That should be what this movie is. That's right. You're 35, get it together. And then she goes to a wedding of one of the couples she's matched. Good for her, must be nice. And then she meets the groom's brother. I'm the groom's brother. For some reason, she's never met before.

Never met him. Even though she's gotten this couple together. She met the groom. And guess what, it's Pedro Pascal and he's got it all. What's he doing there? Family stuff, I guess. Is he rich? Yeah, he's so rich. Has he got what it takes? He he's got it all. What's he doing there? Family stuff, I guess. Is he rich? Yeah, he's so rich.

Has he got what it takes? He's got what it takes. He's got what it takes. He's got what it takes. He's got what it takes. He's got what it takes. He's got what it takes. He's got what it takes.

He's got what it takes. He's got what it takes. He's got what it takes. He's got what it takes. He's got what it takes. He's got what it takes. He's got what it takes. He's got what it takes.

He's got what it takes. He's got what it takes. He's got what it takes. He's got what it takes. He's got a big he's he's got money was born with money. Yep. And he's kept that money. He kept his hair. Yeah, he kept his hair as well. That's right. He's such a catch. Yeah. But guess what? What? Guess what? She's at the wedding. She's like the next person I date I'm gonna marry. That's right. But then she's she's having a having a good fun at this wedding. I'm having a good fun. With gorgeous, handsome man. But who else is there? This absolute turd loser, played by Chris Evans. This turd rolls in.

Yeah, that's right. Blows in on the wind. Slaps up to the table. Venom style. That's right. And it's Chris Evans. It's her ex-boyfriend. And she goes, Perpenta Pascal says, what would you like to drink?

And she goes, I'll have a Coke and a beer. And then he puts down a Coke and half a glass of beer. Are you supposed to mix them? Is that what a coke and a beer is an order? What's going on here? Some of this movie has a very odd energy. Would you? That's what I liked about it. I like and you know what weird stuff Dakota Johnson's grown on me as an actor Well, I think this role is perfect for her. Yeah, I mean she's talked about this week Last week, sorry, madam. We're been how she was like, you know, I got nominated for Raziel Wanarazi, but then I got contacted by like Sandra Bullock, it was like, yeah, it happens. Don't worry about it. That's a terrible movie, but not because she's in it.

No, I think we've talked about this before, but like, She didn't even know she was in it. Yeah, you should. And at one point it may have been had a more of an attachment to the MCA. It might have been. But anyway, you can't, I've said this before, you can't blame anybody for being in a Sony superhero movie. No, it's nobody Jared Leto. Yeah. Yeah who sucks She'd been for reasons that will more reasons that came out reasons that everybody knew for 20. Oh, we didn't talk about that Well, you know, yeah, we talked about it off. Yeah. He's probably a sex criminal almost certainly

Yeah, definitely knew that allegedly. Yeah, and this is and has been even James Gunn said it on Twitter like a few years ago or whatever. Like everybody fucking knows this. Everybody I know who's like ever met him or like I've heard people who've met him are like he sucks. Nobody has a good thing to say about Jared Leto. That's right. And he's in fucking Tron. A franchise that is already needs help. It's already on his last legs. Come on man. I want good Tron. Me too? Because Tron is good. That's right. Anyway. Who's she going to choose? Yeah. You know what I mean? This broke loser. That's right. Who she loves maybe and he's a turd. And they broke up. His clothes are old and he's got roommates. He's living in a stupid house with

idiots. That's right. Or Pedro Pascali. He's always stepping on dinghers. He's always stepping on dinghers, his or others. That's right. He can't get it together. She can't get it together. But she's, she's good. She's, you know, she's moving up in the world. But he hasn't been moving up in the world. He can't do it. But he can't do it. But he's also doing some acting. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, they're all doing some acting. They're all locked in on this one. I agree. They're actually doing acting. But if she pick him or she pick the guy who's got a 12 million dollar apartment in New York City and he's tall and everything and everything else that's going on, including being tall. And also he's nice. Yeah. And like he's not even like sinister. He's not even secretly mean. Yeah see that's the thing this is why I found this so interesting going into it because it's like are they just gonna do the straight-up rom-com? Yeah, is it get we gonna we're gonna go through this and then he's gonna be like You know gonna quit your job. Yeah, exactly quit your job. You're gonna be housewife and then she's like actually

I'm gonna be a strong independent woman and go back to my old boyfriend who sucks. Yeah, actually cuz those are my two options True as I went to options I was wondering if it was going to be like, you know, something in the zeitgeist is people just going, I'm gonna be by myself. Because I seem to be leading that way. You know, but we can't spoil it. Also when this started, it opens with a the first marriage ever, caveman. So it opens like the wilderness. I'm like, am I in the wrong movie somebody leaned into me and went is this materialist and I'm like I think so yeah I was in I thought like I was the girls not out screening

I sent me a photo with you having a champagne I was having yeah I was having a spot but a little a little plastic glass of sparkling was it just you were the only man in there no there were other men I was concerned that I might have been that's okay and I got the ticket and I'm just scrolling like, is it going to be, no men allowed? Is that a check? I did have a something, maybe Ghostbusters 2016. Yeah, nice.

Can't remember. Yeah, anyway. But anyway, I thought this was an odd energy. I liked it. I thought it was, I thought, I mean, this is Celine Song who did Past Lives, so I need to watch. And After Yang, is that? No, I don't believe so.

I might be, unless she was involved in that. No, no I don't think so in a way that I don't know okay I did like after Yang though after Yang after Yang I'm after Yang that's right where is he I'm after him that was written directed and edited by Kogunada well name how interesting among her plays though are Endlings and the Seagull and The Sims 4. Okay then. That's incredible. Anyway, yeah, Celine Song. So she did Past Lives, which is about a couple of folks.

That's also a Love Triangles kind of situation. I don't know, haven't seen it. Okay, great. I also think about this, it feels old school in a lot of ways, but also very real. Yeah, great. Like there in a lot of ways, but also very real. Yeah. Like there's a lot of, there's a few like real world things that are pushed into this, either modern or just through the course of like dating and marriage history, which like

it's kind of a reality check among like, cause you know, people, you know, you might, not everybody you get to a certain age and some people they feel the pressure to get married and have kids and like the clock is ticking and all of a sudden they're talking about the value of different people, whether it be hairline, height, weight, age, how many eggs have you got left? That's right, in your fridge. In your fridge, because eggs are expensive. But also-

How many Tim Tams you got in the back of your pantry? So many, don't even look at them. Don't even worry about it. So I wouldn't look at them. Yeah. Also people are smoking and I love that. And it feels like real smoking. I love all of that.

I also love that Chris Evans has done a real movie again. It's nice, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. It was due for one. Yeah. Knives Out. A bit of a gap.

I mean yeah, Knives Out's great, obviously. Yeah, but you know, Apple, he did that rom-com with Anna de Armas on Apple. It was a dreadful fucking movie. And he did Red One maybe? He did Red One. Oh, he did Red One. And the other one One. Oh he did Red, and the other one. What was the other one he did? I don't know man.

The bloody, the one with Ryan Gosling, Chariot Man. Oh, The Grey Man. The Grey Man. Sure, okay right, another fake movie, all right. Another fake movie that's not real. He's given it his all in that one. And he had a mustache. He's never bad.

Like, hmm. Yeah. But I think so, I mean, also if you're thinking this is like Hitch, it's not really that either. There are funny moments. It's not a comedy. Yeah. A lot of the funny is kind of derived from these people who have very interesting expectations

for what. There's one in the trailer of this guy in his late 40s, I think, and he's like, well, I had some trouble. I didn't really like the you know, the last few dates have been like, they're like 2022 and 23. I want somebody more mature. And she's like, oh, I've got a woman and she's 38. And he's like, no, no, still 20s.

27 pushy. She's like 31. He's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Absolutely not. Yeah. I mean, look, I've seen that. Like I know people like that. Yeah.

You know, and it's good. But there's this thing of like, a guy goes on a date and she's talking to him on the phone and the woman he's dating is 39. And he's like, you told me she's in her 30s, but she's 39 and 39 is 40. And it's like that kind of thing. And it's like, and again, I know people of both genders who have had these kinds of pressures and expectations put on them. And it's awful. It's an awful situation that is perpetuated by social media and historical norms.

And hysterical norms. And hysterical norms. And normsical norms. And hysterical norms and like... And norm, cheers. But at the end of the day, what most people want, and this movie comes back to this, is that everybody's just looking for love. Looking for a partner. Or they're looking for money. Or they're looking for money, well that's right. But I think that's such an interesting perspective, because a big part of this is like, yeah, you can marry for love,

but what if they are broke? What kind of life is that for you? I don't think it's okay. Because we do have a flashback as well to a time where Dakota Johnson's character and Chris Evans' character, they're boyfriend and girlfriend, and they're driving through the city and Chris Evans is trying to find a place to park for free. He doesn't spend 20 bucks on a... Yeah, because he's broken whatever.

Yeah, exactly. And that was like a big point of contention in their marriage, in their relationship, which is why they split up. But I think also like, I like that this movie also is you can have standards. You don't have to settle, you know, if you don't want to. You can settle for a man with a $12 million apartment if you want. Totally. If you want, as long as he's tall. Yeah, but also I like the modern stuff that they bring into this about like, you know,

like height is so important and men's hairlines are important and like, and the- Luckily we've got it all. We're fine. We don't even worry about us. And the weight that a person is, and again, I just, and I just found that really interesting the way that they approach that. The dating agency is sort of like, they've all these algorithms and equations. Yeah, and it's basically finding a person who might not necessarily be like the love of your life,

but it's someone who is mathematically your equivalent. It's money ball. It's money ball, but for dating. You've got to build your perfect partner in the aggregate. Yeah, but also as a result of that. Yeah, she's lost in it. Yeah. She's lost in the bloody algorithm.

But there's obvious consequences in this because there's, and maybe we should talk more about this in spoilers, but there are real world consequences to dates going badly. And again, I know people, if you ask the women in your life, they will either have a story similar to this or know somebody where something bad has happened to them. Because there is a risk associated with meeting up with a stranger. Absolutely. Even if they're vetted and I, yeah. And just, I don't know, I liked the idea about the love and worth and the transactional nature of everything and how

that's changed, but also not really changed that much. I just thought it was, it's not, it's, it kind of doesn't, it's a romcom and then it's not. Sure. And then it kind of circles back around to it at the end. Yeah. And I just thought that was fantastic. Yeah yeah is there a scene where people are under fairy lights and they're at a kind of a rural table having a smoke and a drink

yes there is it is a little bit quirky like that yes there is a scene like that correct yeah yeah love all of that yeah anyway should we do some spoilers? Let's do some spoilers I'm gonna say best movie ever. I'm gonna say best movie ever. I um would you say it's a date movie? Would you go on a date with this? Yeah, I would actually. I think it could give people something to think about in terms of what do you want, why are you doing the things that you do?

If you're on a date with somebody or it's early days, maybe it makes you go, oh, this was the person for me, or maybe I'm not in this for the reasons that I want, or maybe they're not. I think Comedian Daniel Sloss had a show. Oh, yes For um, and he that he toured. Yeah, and it was sort of like broke up thousands of couples because the whole bit was like

The the the gist of the whole thing is he sort of broke down one of his relationships I think and he's like is this person giving you 100% of their, or if you've been in a relationship where someone is only giving you 30%, when you get 50%, you think it's kind of like- I think what he actually said was, and that's one thing you have different thing is, would it be easier to break up with this person or if they died? Oh, that's right. Yes.

Which is a terrible way to look at it because he experienced that. Yeah. And he realized that, well, I shouldn't be in this relationship if I'm thinking, it'd be easier if they die. Yeah. That's the coward thing to do. Right. To stay in this or wait for their death. Yeah. Which probably isn't going to happen for a long time.

Yeah, right. And then you break it. So he's and that ended up being on Netflix. So that went like worldwide. That's right. Yeah. So anyway, you've met Daniel Sloss. You know him.

Have I? I don't know. You know, well, Charlie and Will know him. I's right. Yeah. So anyway, you've met Daniel Sloss. You know him. Have I? I don't know. You know, Charlie and Will know him. I have met him briefly. There you go. Yeah. Well, well, anyway, spoilers thought it was great. Go see it or don't. You don't get any money for this. And that's important. I mean, it's not a ton to spoil is there really? No. I mean, I mean, obviously people hang all the boys obviously hanging out Here they're like who she get with yeah, who's she gonna choose? You're gonna choose well she chooses yeah grub Chris Evans eventually well what I thought was interesting about the Chris Evans character Is that yes, he lived he is a grub and he lives like a grub

He lives like a man in his 20s. He lives like a worm you could call him Dr. Worm That's it he likes to play the acting. Yeah, but also like, he's not intentionally that way. Like he's following his passion of being a theatre actor. Yes, that's true. And so he's picking up catering jobs and he just got stuck in this loop of like trying to just get ahead and he just hasn't. Yes. So it's not like he's given up. No, that's true. Like he's actively trying.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He just can't get a fucking break. And I thought that was interesting where it wasn't just like, oh, I'm going to try now and I'm going to change for you. Because it's like he is trying. Yeah. He's just falling short all the time. Yeah.

I mean, there is a moment where he clearly puts on his best shirt. Yeah. Like she's downstairs because she was going to go on an exotic journey to Iceland with Pedro Pascal and she changes her mind so she goes to his place because she's sublet her apartment over there and he comes down and he's clearly put on his nicest button up shirt kind of thing. But anyway, she doesn't choose Pedro Pascal and one of the, and I thought this, this is a funny bit. They set up early in the movie. There's a height changing surgery.

Which is real. It's, we've talked about it. Yeah, we have talked about it. Where they break your leg. I think maybe somebody's emailed in to say they had it done. Yeah, they put pins, rods, steel rods in your shins, and all they can do it in your femurs, and they slowly twist them like a millimeter a day. And then your legs break, the bones in your legs break.

But not all the way. No, but then they heal up and the additional bone that is healed up extends your legs. You can get up to six inches in height. Which is what Pedro Pascali- Pascali, he was a little man. Making him six foot. He and his brother. Yeah, he said he was five little man. Making him six foot. He and his brother. Yeah, he said he was five six.

Yeah, huh. Yeah. Which, and I just thought like as a guy he was, and he said as a result of that, that's what made him successful, made him successful with women and made him successful in business. But I don't, like I understand how that perspective, but like- Right. He was also born rich. Yeah, you could, but also like-

You can just show people your credit card. Your height doesn't determine how good you are. I think it definitely gave him the confidence. This is a black AmEx. I could buy a plane with it. What do you think about that? Yeah, but even him like a guy who seemingly had everything. Yeah, huh? Yeah. He like he had this insecurity that he had that he just had to had to tackle. Yeah. At great personal cost. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Although it doesn't say maybe he's not capable of love. Yeah. Yeah. And I thought that was also interesting. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Although it does. Also, maybe he's not capable of love. Yeah, also.

Yeah. And I thought that was also interesting because like. But not in a psychopath way. No, just in like, this is not something I've experienced. Like I've got to nearly 50 and I kind of. And I look great. Yeah, I look great. And my legs are long.

I know the motions that I know how to like pick up a person and talk to a person. I had a conversation with someone after the movie about this and I'm like, wouldn't it make your arms look shorter? Well, some people just have short or long arms. I guess, but then I guess you get the arm surgery. Yeah, exactly. Oh my god, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You get the neck surgery.

The neck surgery for a shorter neck? Yeah. Yeah. No, you got longer. You look like that dude from fucking Alien Romulus. Yeah, nice. So no, I just, I, yeah, and I don't think it was a thing that he wasn't capable of love or maybe that is the case.

I think he just hadn't found that. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. He was too data driven. Yeah. And so she, and that's like, so seemingly they're the perfect match, but you know, love, man. Yeah. But then he wasn't capable of loving specifically her, so she had to go back to

a grub boy. But also neither was she. She was, I thought that was just really interesting and not just like, you cheated on me or you whatever you want. There was no misunderstanding where she goes to see him and then it looks like he slept with somebody else and she's like, oh my broken hearted and they have to run to the airport or whatever. Or she like, you know, Chris Evans knows she's dating him, but he's not like, what are you

doing? Why don't you break up with him? He's just like, I guess. Like he's just like accepted it. It's not this competition. Yeah. She takes Pedro Pascal to Chris Evans play. And I thought that was a very realistic kind of,

Yes. like in a disused warehouse somewhere in the arts district and everybody's on cheap folding chairs. Yeah. You know, he's like, boy, you have to learn a lot of lines. How'd you do that? So true. And he has to shake his hand and whatever.

I mean, the way it does wind up, of course, is she's about to quit her matchmaking job. But then it turns out, the way it does wind up, of course, is she, you know, she's about to quit her matchmaking job, but then it turns out actually, she's going to get promoted. Get promoted. And he doesn't need to get promoted. That's right. You can just keep being an art man, which, you know, good. Yeah. I think it was a very realistic ending in the sense that like, hey, we love each other. And we're just going to have a run at this. Yeah. You know? Yeah. I don't know. I think also there's some interesting messaging in this and just around, and I know again, the dating in general and I don't know, I know people who like struggle with this and

like how to talk to women and just like, they think it's this like game that you've got a kind of like, you can manipulate and whatever and you say this and they say this and that leads to this and this value is of that If I had any advice and I don't know the fuck I'm talking about. This is to James's friends Yeah, that's right. They don't listen to this but we're gonna clear and we're gonna send them as a voice memo This is from a group chat. This is a men specifically Because I what do I know about being a woman is that you? That women man you feel like a woman. That's true. Like women are people. I know it sounds really obvious, but like how you're a person,

they're a person. And they're like me? Yes. They're specifically like me. Wow. And bloody good luck to them. You talk to anybody like they're a person and not just people. You don't just talk to women you want to sleep with, you make friends with whoever. Do you know what I mean? Like you understand, like you have to get an understanding that they're a person like you're a person. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not everyone wants to have sex with you or will have sex with you.

That's not been my experience, but all right. You're a unicorn. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like Pedro Pascal. Yeah, yeah, I had to get the leg shortening surgery. Where they just crush your legs in a vice and then you just come back down. And you look great. Thank you.

Like a bag of soup. Just learn about other people's experiences and not from a manipulative perspective and the understanding that everybody's just a person. That's so true. I don't think this't helpful at all. It seems very obvious or stupid, but I don't know. If this has helped you, you're welcome. If not, there's always hustlers university.

Yeah, and don't be a creep. Or sexually assault somebody. And obviously ask for consent. Keep checking in. Another big thing in this is that one of the matchmakers she sends, one of the persons she sends out for a date gets sexually assaulted. And yeah, that would be like terrifying obviously and then also the fact that you've sent this person to do this and yeah it's not directly

your fault but kind of is you know and it's just yeah I just awful yeah yeah but also realistic it happens you know now if you had to rank this with say, And Just Like That, the HBO series about sex and the city. Sure, I mean this would be, this is better. This is better you say? Yeah I would say. I mean I'm not watching season 3, I think I'm out. I think I'm done. Of And Just Like That? I mean if Samantha was coming back, sure, but she's not.

And I'm not, you know. I mean as far as you know. Aiden came back and I saw that and it wrapped up. I'm kind of, I'm good. Wow. What's Aiden's deal? Because he's kind of a grub loser. No, he got it together. Did he? Good for them.

They, uh, just spoiled the end of season two, I guess. Thank you. Please. His son got in some trouble and he was like, I can't do relationship right now. I have to parent. So he left Carrie. Wow. And you know, and that's life for Carrie. I mean, Carrie only has to parent her shoes, doesn't she?

That's right. You know, her shoes and one article that she writes a week. She's still doing that? Does podcasts and other things. Oh yeah, okay. All right. All right. Stay in your lane.

Stay in your lane Carrie... Bradshaw. Bradshaw. I nearly said Bickmore, but that's the project, a show that no longer exists. Correct, yes. So well, anyway, do you have any dating advice, Mason? No. For me?

Should I get the surgery that you had? Squish down the squish down leg surgery? I mean, if that'll make you feel confident, you never know. I think it will. You never know until you try. If I was much shorter, yeah, maybe. Maybe. I mean, it would certainly be a challenge, or it wouldn't because height doesn't matter.

That's true. Yeah. Wow. Amazing. Should we move it along? Let's move it along. I'm just saying, I have friends who just, they don't see women as people. And I don't mean as in like their objects, some of them.

I mean, as in that like- A different species. A different species. And that is not true. You can be friends with them. It's true. Yeah. You can do that. Yeah. And I think that's cool. Alright, let's move it along. Let's move it along. But to what? What we're reading. What?

What we're gonna read. What? Yeah. I'm doing the same. Let's keep it moving. Let's keep it moving. This is the What We're Reading, What We We Gonna Read segment of the show where we talk about things we've been watching, listening to, etc. and so forth. So true. We've been watching a bunch of episodes of Adventures of Superman, the original serial from the TV show because we're going to do some caravan of garbage on that. Well there is some serial involved. That's very true.

Kellogg's serial. Fun. I thought it was a bit of fun. I did mock it for being bad. But fun. Yeah, exactly. It's fun. Yeah.

Another thing we've done. Yes. We did a commentary on Days of Thunder. Because F1's coming out. Tom Cruise just reappeared for amenity. That's right. Came out of his fucking, I don't know, his cocoon that he sleeps in. His Scientology cocoon.

Yeah. So we looked at days of thunder and spoke over the top of it. How's that doing? Final reckoning? For ants? That's all right. I think it's going to make about 600 million sub-minus. It probably maybe will break even.

Terrific. Yeah, but it's not going to hit the billions like they would have wanted. That's Hollywood like you just said just then. And we both promised ourselves off air that we're going to watch The Fountain of Youth. That's right, we did say that. We're going to do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean.

I mean, next week we've got 28 years later. Oh yeah. What if we didn't? What if we did The Fountain of Youth with John Krasinski? I'd be sad, I think. Yeah, but that's good. Well speaking of, one thing I am going to read, and I think we're going to cover this on the Comic Book Club.

There's a comic by Steve Niles, who's the guy who did 30 Days of Night on, it's called 28 Days Later the Aftermath. My brother, the one you don't like, lent it to me. And apparently it's amazing. So I'm currently re-immersing myself in that world. You're like Steve Niles. So there you go. Cool, right?

Not as much as regular Niles, obviously. Oh, Frasier! Exactly. Et cetera. He's more like, obviously. Oh, Frazier. Exactly. Et cetera. He's more like, no, Frazier. Frazier, yeah. Exactly, yeah. I've been listening to a lot of pet sounds, the Beach Boys album.

Moooo. James Bliss. Meow, et cetera. A man died. Brian Wilson passed away of the Beach Boys. People die all the time, Mason. Not Brian Wilson. Not Brian Wilson, he only died recently.

Yeah, that's right. Yeah. I mean, yeah, huge contributions to the industry. We talked about it, I think, on one of our bonus podcasts was probably, it was almost certainly James and Mason's Time Crap Show. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, their rival was the Beatles. That's exactly right. We did talk about that. Yeah. And like,

and his, you know, I want to say what, early 80s? Yeah, something like 82 maybe. Yeah. Yeah, he was, you know, he was, you know, a really interesting force in music production and, you know, songwriting and all that sort of stuff. And he's very, you know, and he had a lot of struggles with alcoholism and mental health and all that sort of stuff. I recently remembered a funny story about him that Don Henley of the Eagles, another sort of iconic American band. He's in a band, isn't he?

Yeah, he's in the Eagles. But there's a story that he never met Brian Wilson and he went to a Brian Wilson show and he's like, going backstage, he's so excited to meet Brian Wilson. And he's brought a copy of Pet Sounds on LP. And he goes to Brian Wilson, you know, you're so influential, you know, you've really inspired inspired me to, you know, do music for a living. And you know, I'm so grateful for that, of course. And Brian Wilson writes on his LP, dear, dear Don, thanks for all the great music. And then he hands it back to him. And, you know, Brian, Don Henley, like, you know, starts to walk away. And Brian's like, No, wait, come come back and he takes the LP back and he crosses out great

he writes good. As a joke? I think so. That's very good. I love that. Oh that's very good. If you've never listened to Pet Sounds. Yeah. It's a good, it's a great album. Meow. It's like. Oh you've been in the album. I did mean that. I mean Pet hit sounds are fun in themselves, but it's incredible production for the time. And, and you know, it's got that, it's got that beach boy sound. And if I, as I don't know, I just never use your favorite beach boy drama. Is it John Stamos? Yeah, it's John Stamos, obviously. Yeah.

Okay. Yeah. Uh, but it's, you know, it's, it's, it's 12 tracks about coming of age and love and joy overcoming existential dread. And then there's just one song that's like, I hate being on this boat. It sucks, get me off the boat. Anyway.

But is it like this kept me off this boat? Exactly. Is it like that kind of situation? No, but it's the one that goes, this is the worst trip I've ever been on. It's that song. Oh yeah, I wanna go home. That's the one, yeah. I wanna go home. That's the one, yeah.

I wanna go home. Yeah, it is that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That is a good album. That is a good album. That's right. Pet Sounds. Pet Sounds. So this is new? Yeah, it's new. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Cool. I like it. I like it too. Well, we've been watching and listening to so many things. So true, isn't it? I've been listening to a bunch of M83. Oh yeah. Yeah. That's a good outfit.

What? They're an outfit. Are they? Yes. Like a jeans and a t-shirt. They're like a jeans and a t-shirt. And a blazer. They're the jeans and a t-shirt and a blazer of music, I think.

Cool. How did you come across that? Did you spotify just like? No, somebody was talking to me about it and they were like, I like M83. And I'm like, I like M83. Yeah. And then I listened to a bunch like M83 and I'm like I like M83 Yeah And then I listened to a bunch of M83 that I haven't even heard That a song on one of the Divergent albums from the movies or whatever and I'm like this looks pretty good

It just stands alone because sometimes Spotify will just give me like they give you a day list This one just says strange desert night. It's weird themed stuff. Mm-hmm, and it's I don't know how the algorithm does it but it's got I discovered the band Parquet Courts who I think are very good And it's I don't know how the algorithm does it. But it's got I discovered the band parquet courts who I think are very good. I don't know anything about them. Sometimes you're like, this is great. This is great music. And then you Google and be like, these guys, these guys should be canceled or whatever. But parquet courts, I don't think. You don't think they should be canceled? They haven't been canceled.

Yeah, all right. As far as I know. Well, let's get ahead of it and cancel them. We should cancel them. Yeah. We should cancel them. Yeah. We should cancel them. All right, I think we've got another segment after this, don't we? It's got letters.

This is my great segment. This is your great segment. That I invented. Your great segment. I invented it. You consider this, would you say this is your greatest achievement as a- It's my pet sounds. It's your pet sounds, okay.

The reading of letters on the letters segment. Correct. Okay. And it's good, I don't even have to do anything because people just, they give them to me and then I read them out. I think I say answer them. Yeah. Would you, has this, is this your greatest work because of your arrival with another

podcast? Correct. Okay. Yeah. Do you want to know which? No. Okay. Guess again.

Rogan. Correct. No, guess again. That's right. It's the Gavin Newsom podcast. Gavinom. Yeah to podcast the governor of California Yeah, and you got on like Charlie Kirk or whatever and they're like, it's interesting. We see a lot of similar out of shut up Don't talk to ghouls. Yeah, you fucking cool. You cool. You're cool. Not you. They're both cool I thought we were attacking each other. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You're a ghoul. We're not ghouls. We're normal. No, we're normal. What's the next segment of the show? Letters. It's got a theme. It goes like this. Is this part of

your pet sounds? The theme? It's my greatest achievement. You didn't even make this thing. Rackham made this thing. Yeah, but he wanted me to have it. Okay, all right. So it's mine. All right. I should copyright strike this. How many views has that got? 24,000. That's a bit of money in that.

Oh you reckon? You reckon? He can't sue us though, Kenny, for us using it. I don't know man. Here's an email from... Oh, whoa, whoa. How do we get to the show? We email weeklyplanetpodhatch.gmail.com.

Or... You go to the Planet Broadcasting, Great Mates Facebook group, and James has put up a thread and you put it in there. You put it in the thread. You can say, any questions? Et cetera. I mean, it's just text, but I infer that attitude. Any questions?

Any questions? Any questions? Yeah. Like you're planning a heist in a 90s movie. Any questions? Any questions? Yeah, questions any questions any questions? Yeah, like you're like you're planning a heist in a 90s movie any questions Any questions? Yeah, how are we gonna get to the van when we're supposed to be whatever? Let me worry about that in a montage Get the AMP Laser tripwire good thing I got not on my watch giving others mirror answer Good thing I got this mirror. Not on my watch.

Good thing I got this mirror. Yeah, that's right. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. It's just a full length. It's a hallway mirror. Yeah. Okay, here's an email from Carter. Carter?

Get Carter. Bringing her back on a first date. Oh, no. Speaking of date movies, and we'll just take some to materialists. Hey, gentlemen, emailing in from Canada, been listening to the pot for years, kept me saying through many summers doing tedious work in a local vineyard. That's a first date location, a vineyard. Oh great, doing tedious work there though?

Oh yeah, not so much. Hey, do you want to come on a date where we do tedious work? Yes please. We're only getting paid once. Me and you? Let's do it. Let's do it. Don't have a question, just wanted to say that I should have listened to your segment before deciding to take a first date to see Bring Her Back and you were certainly correct.

What a horrible, horrible pick for a first date. We both cried and the car ride home was rather silent. Just shows that I should be listening to the pod before deciding on movies. I disagree. I think you should have just watched the trailer for the movie Bring Her Back. Yeah. I think it would have told you all you need to know. Did it not bond you? Oh, trauma bond. Yeah, maybe. Maybe. That would have been awful. Yeah. What an awful experience. Sounds awful. Yeah, it does sound Bond. Yeah, maybe. Maybe. That would have been awful. Yeah. What an awful experience. Sounds awful.

Yeah, it does sound awful. Yeah. Other than that, it was good though, right? That's right. Yeah, good. Yeah, good Mason. Yeah. I got a letter here. Oh, yes.

It's from Nicole Lee who says, since you're viewing The Materialists, do you have a favourite rom-com slash romantic movie? What are they? I mean classic one Harry Metzali. Harry Metzali and that's got a series of fabulous fits on our friend Bill, Billy. Bill Colony. Bill Crystal. Mr. Bill Crystal. Incredible sweater on that man. Love it. The one for Sleepless in Seattle is good. There's some classic ones. Crazy Stupid Love is funny but it's fucking weird. You go back and you're like there's some weird stuff in this. Have you seen They Came Together? Yes. It's Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler. Yes, it's fucking weird. You go back and you're like, there's some weird stuff in this. Have you seen They Came Together? Yes.

It's Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler. Yes, it's very good. It's a, it's, it's the- Stupid, it's stupid. It's the stupidest movie ever. It's like the war card of rom-coms. Yes, it's like, it's in the vein of, you know, like a wet hot American summer or something like that,

but put towards rom-com. It is the war card, you're absolutely right. Yeah, that one's good. 10 Things I Hate About You. That's a perfect one. Classic. Perfect Larry Miller as the dad. Oh yeah, very good.

Classic Larry Miller. Uh, Palm Springs is good. A more recent one. Yeah. It's also in the Groundhog Day situation. If you haven't seen this, have you ever seen His Girlfriend, eh? It's Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell from 1940. No, I haven't. I know. But it's on YouTube always

because it's out of copyright. But it's a real screwball kind of like real fast talking. We're fast talking. It's an old movie and it's because it's 1940. It's like, I think maybe it was based on a play. It was. It says it's not based on a play. No, it says it was. The screenplay was adapted from 1928 to the front page. Nuts. I got a thing here that says it's not based on a place as it was the screenplay was adapted from 1928 to the front page Not so it's not I got a thing. It's structured like a play, but it's all like Whippity-bappity, it's a wall whippity-bappity zip-zap zoom. You know, I mean, where you going? Where you going?

Carrie grants get back here. Where you go Carrie grants classic phrase where you go back here. Can I come where you going? You can use that actually that's a good pick up line. Where you going? Where you where you bloody let me come use that actually. That's a good pick up line. Where you going? Where are you? Where are you bloody going? Let me come with you. Yeah. Yeah. OK. Oh, I got more Mason. I've got a bunch as well.

Tell me which of these you like. OK. Tell also tell me which of these you think has held up. All right. Notting Hill. Love Notting Hill. OK.

Love actually. It doesn't hold up, but it is entertaining. OK. I only I only saw that like well into adulthood. Yeah. No, this is bad. Oh, yeah. No, it's weird as shit. Yeah, it's't hold up, but it is entertaining. Okay. I only I only saw that like well into adulthood Yeah, like no, this is bad. Oh, yeah. No, it's weird as shit. Yeah, it's so weird Yeah, and like Keira Knightley's character supposed to be like even in the movie. She's supposed to be like 17 Yeah, something like that. Yeah, I think she's like 19. Okay. Well still it's bad pretty woman held up. I think definitely My best friend's wedding? It's all right. Okay. All right.

13 going on 30 or suddenly 30. Yeah. That's my, one of my brothers, the one you don't like, one of his favorite movies. Interesting. Yeah. Interesting. That's a Jennifer Garner, Mark Ruffalo situation. True.

Yeah. Uh, what about this one? Has this one held up? Hitman. Hitman's fucking great. I wrote Hitman Down. Yeah. I love that movie. I watched it again. Yeah. And you can because it got buried on Netflix. If you can be bothered

to load up Netflix and type in Hitman. I think it's good. I think it's like, it's sexy in a non creepy way. It does that well. The chemistry is really good. The story's fun. Do you think this one's held up? This is my last one. Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I mean, it's got Russell Brand in it. It hasn't held up in the sense that there are fucking crook people all over that movie. And the sequel. Oh yeah, get him to the Greek.

But I think it is a funny movie. Yeah. It's a shame. It is a shame. Because Jason Segel's done great work since. He continues to. All the Muppet stuff. Yeah.

I watched a couple of episodes. You're shrinking. He's great. Yeah. It's good stuff. He seems like a nice man. Yeah, exactly. Working hard.

Yeah. You know what else I like about Hitman? Yes. I love that the character makes the decision to just be different. And I don't mean change his core values and just be like, I don't want to be this awkward nerd. Yeah, right. I'm just going to like just turn it up a bit. I'm going to reinvent myself as Tilda Swinton.

Yeah, that's good. You know what else I like? It's not really a rom-com because it becomes something else, but About Time is really great and really lovely. It's more about kind of fathers and sons, but there is a rom-com element to that. I watched a podcast with Tom Holland and he said he rented the About Time house for Christmas. He would. Yeah, he would, wouldn't he?

My son asked me the other day, because my son just watched Infinity War. Oh, yeah. So he's in between, and he just finished Captain Marvel and he's going to come around to Endgame. Yeah. And he's like, he was asking about Tom Holland. I'm like, well, he's the only Spider-Man. He was actually a teenager when he was cast. The rest of them are like 28 and they're like, oh man,. I'm at school anyway. He told me he did that he went to school and he did that to his mates He's like every spider-man is like I'm 28. I'm at school. I did a bit. He did a bit. That's great And I'm like that's great stuff man good stuff. Yeah, so

Anyway, he was he was he loved that Tom Holland was like an actual like teenager I mean now he's 30 or whatever, but you know yeah anyway, sorry go on. He's an email. I love that Tom Holland was like an actual teenager. I mean now he's 30 or whatever, but you know. Anyway, sorry, go on. He's an email. I love emails, I look at them. All right then, if you say so. This is from James. What?

Just one James. Did you forget something? The S at the end, no I didn't. This is just from one James. Okay. Hello boys. Hello James. On last week's pod, Meso suggested that color grading

involves a slider and pushing the color grading button up. That's true. I work in post-production in the UK and this is much closer to the truth than you'd think. It's actually a ball on a board that you twiddle about then you copy and paste what you've done across the scene. Despite the fact a child could do it, it's the service we charge the most for and colorists are the biggest divas you'd likely to meet in post-production. So let this be a lesson to never doubt your knowledge of the movie making process again. Love the show. Keep up the good work. Whoa, I love that! There you go. I love a compliment. Yeah. Because normally it's like you guys are idiots and you forgot this thing. production. So let this be a lesson to never doubt your knowledge of the moviemaking process again. Love the show, keep up with the work. Whoa! I love that! I love a compliment. Because normally it's like you guys are idiots and you

forgot this thing. That's right. And we did, but this time we're right. That's correct. I mean also like bad coloring, you notice. Is that the reason, is the reason that a lot of coloring looks bad in movies because you charge the most for it? And most people, most movie makers studios are just like we're gonna get the most out of this let's get let's get the biggest colors the biggest colors yeah and the biggest colors gray and brown correct yeah and a fog fog a fog over your movie Mason's from Paul Plant great name which old cartoon would you like to see a movie adaptation of Jason the Wield Warriors for me.

Ah, Banana Man. What the hell is Jason the Wield Warriors? Or Danger Mouse. Danger Mouse is cool man. He's like James Bond but he's a mouse. He's a mouse and he lives in a post box I think. What happens when the post comes in? He's okay with it.

Okay. Yeah. Or Mask. Yeah, okay. Why is that funny to you James? Because it's not gonna... you're stupid. I know I am. Yeah.

Yeah. Imagine the cars and they turn into slightly different cars. Yeah. You're always wearing a mask. There's two gimmicks for some reason. Yeah, no, I understand what you're saying. You're not wrong. I, they're making this.

It's literally coming out. It's got Henry Cavill and Sterling K. Brown. Sounds fake. There's a Voltron movie. Oh yeah, there is, isn't there? And it's by Rawson Marshall Thurber is the director. We know that name from someone. He directed Red Notice and Skyscraper.

He also directed Dodgeball. Okay. And that's pretty good. All right, okay. Anyway, they're talking about pushing this to streaming and whatever, whatever. It's wrapped filming, I think. It has wrapped, it filmed in Australia.

Oh nice. We could have been Two of the Lions. Yeah. I don't... I have very little faith in this. Absolutely. And I loved Voltron as a kid. Show hasn't held up as well. Then they rebooted it a couple of times, but the Netflix adaptation of Voltron is fucking incredible.

Is that still on Netflix? I think they took it off. But it's gone for some reason. So that... it's such an amazing show that re-events a whole lot of it and brings things back and whatever and there's multi-dimensional and- Do we know any plot details about this new one? Is it going to be set on Earth? Five piloted robot lions can combine to form the ultimate humanoid robot Voltron of Battle

Evil according to director of Rorsch and Marcel Thurber. The film is to say true of the heart of the spirit of Voltron while introducing an entire generation of new generation of pilots reimagining the franchise in live action. So presumably like Henry Cavill is like Keith or Lance or whatever. The previous ones. Or is the little guy. Nah, or Pidge. Pidge.

Well Pidge is different in the new animated one. That's such a good show. Well it's by the last Airbender people so that's why it's so good. And you like vehicle Voltron though for some reason. I don't like it. Yeah, it's bad. But I had one with bad knees. That's so cool though. That's a cool Voltron. You have one with bad knees, but what was the toy like? Mason just had a tantrum. No, you had a tantrum. I hatched up a can for no reason. You had a tantrum.

You had one. Voltron. Yep. And you said mask. Yeah, I'm on mask. Or Centurions. Oh yeah. Yeah.

Or Silverhawks. Or Brave Star. Or the three biker mice from Mars. These are all things that I remember from my childhood. Samurai pizza cats. No. No? How would you do Samurai Pizza Cats?

I guess with real cats. Do real cats and use laser pointers. You could use curves and laser pointers. I guess that's a simple option actually, yeah. You do know a lot about movie making. It's true, write it if I do. That's right. Here's one more email from Craig.

Craig? Who says, I was a wacka to do in Department Q. And I like how that rhymed. Whoa, that's cool. Hey Nick and Mason. Mason mentioned watching Department Q last week. Hey. He didn't mention you. And I thought it might be fun to let you know a Weekly Planet listener was in it as an extra.

They filmed in Edinburgh and in episode 8, about 14 minutes in, you'll see a barista with a man bun. That's me. Yeah. I even wore my Weekly Planet shirt to set, but we weren't allowed logos. Nah. So I had to wear the yellow shirt you see me in instead. We would have sued. Huge fan of the Potter and I saw Mr. Sunday

when he toured Edinburgh. Hell yeah, I was there last year. See photo attached. Are we together? We hanging out? Yeah, hang on. And I think there's a- Do you think we're taking it together?

I believe there's a photo with Rob Collings also. Oh, that's cool, he's cool. Where is it? I gotta find it. I'm gonna find it and you're gonna be like, whoa. Whoa. You know? Can I get this photo?

Mason, I got one more. It's from Xander, who says, when's the last time you left an event, party or function early, and how did you excuse yourself from the venue? I just go. Yeah, I just go. I'd say, hey, I'm off.

And they're, oh, where you going? And I'm like, no, I just got stuff on in the morning, or now, I'm going. I mean, you have to leave eventually, otherwise we'd still be at that event. But we're saying early, Zander's saying early. Yeah. Normally when you come in, if you are leaving early, hit them with, I gotta head off at whatever because I have exeterers.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't really ghost anymore because I'm not cowardly. So you're going to say I don't really go anywhere. I know, that's true also. But also I'm brave. And I tell people I don't want to be there. That's right, yeah. But you tell them when you arrive. Correct. You're like, I'm going to set the tone here people I don't want to be there. That's right.
