That's a classic not welcome the other man through the podcast bit. It certainly is, but everybody... You're welcome. You're welcome.
Starting point is 00:02:17 Get ready for this because it's a huge week. Huge week! We're going to talk F1 and not Mithregan. We didn't say it. We didn't say Mithregan. That's not doing very well.

Starting point is 00:02:25 It's Terminator 2. Yeah, so F1. This is Days of Thunder 2. It is Days of Thunder 2. Even though we are probably getting a Days of Thunder 2. Or maybe not after this. I don't know. Would that be too close? We'll talk about it. We've also got the news of the week. In the lead up to that, we're gonna talk about a new director for Bond. A nude, a nude erector for Bond. A nude erector for Bond.
Starting point is 00:02:44 I don't- That's what Bond needs these days. He's getting on a bit in years and he needs a nude erector. I don't welcome this crude language, Mason. There's a pill for that. There's a pill for that now. Don't need it too good. Yeah, I wouldn't even know about it. I don't even know.
Starting point is 00:02:59 We do get a lot of offers. Do we? For erectile dysfunction pills. Is that not just spam? No, no. I mean like brands being like, can you sell dick pills to people? Okay, to your audience of non-functioning dick-appers. Yeah, that's how they framed it. And I'm like, look, I think that's true of all of them. Yeah, but I think every, all of our listeners whose
Starting point is 00:03:17 dicks don't work, they're going on their own journey. They're figuring it out. They're figuring it out on their own. But no, the actual fact, we don't advertise anything medicinal. That's true. Like it's a lot of like weed gummies and stuff and I don't care, do whatever you want, but I'm not selling you medication. That's right. Yeah. Anyways, also some other rumors around Bond, including what the story isn't going to be,
Starting point is 00:03:35 some actors that will or will not be considered. Ooh. Then we're going to talk about the Batman part two. Ooh, yes. The movie, we've got a trailer for, Four, First Steps, the final trailer. Did somebody say the social network but part two sort of? No. Somebody said it because it's in the news.
Starting point is 00:03:56 Oh okay right. So somebody's definitely been saying it. Some newscaster of some kind? Some newscaster has been saying it, that's right. Or some scurrilous rumour monger? Maybe. Wow. And then of course, in big potential Transformers news, Or some scurrilous rumour monger? Maybe. Wow.
Starting point is 00:04:05 And then of course, in big potential Transformers news, Michael Bay might be returning to the franchise. With Skibbitty Toilet all afront? Probably not, because they... No, he's producing that or something. He says he's not directing Skibbitty Toilet, but he would have his dirty hand at it. He would absolutely, yeah. That's right.
Starting point is 00:04:22 Time goes below as mentioned, Rob Colleague, who edits this, he puts them there if you don't want to jump to anything in particular, but Variety have confirmed that the next Bond director is Denis Villeneuve, who of course directed Dune 1, Dune 2, soon to be Dune 3. Soon to be Dune 3. Blade Runner 2049. That's right. Prisoners. Enemy.
Starting point is 00:04:41 Enemy. He's the best. Yeah. He's an incredible director. And his movies are finally making money so they're like, let's put him on a big money spinner. Yeah. He's also worked with a lot of Bond alumni, but I guess that is kind of the way this bloody
Starting point is 00:04:55 Hollywood system goes. You know, he's worked with Lea Seydoux. That's true. He's worked with bloody Javier Bardem. Oh yeah, he was a Bond man. He's worked with others. He works with other actors, hasn't he? He's worked with others, yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:04 Tim the Chalamet. That's right. He watched a Bond movie, I reckon. I bet he's watched a Bond movie, yeah, he was a bond work with others.

No with Sean Connery I'm a diehard Bond fan to me me, fan? To me, sacred territory. I intend to honor the tradition and open the path for many new missions to come. This is a massive responsibility, but also incredibly exciting for me and a huge honor. Amy, David and I are absolutely thrilled to bring him back to the screen. Thank you to Amazon MGM
Starting point is 00:05:39 studios for their trust. Amy Adams? I don't know. David Walliams? David Zaslav? David Walliams. David Walliams. He's the new Bond. Amy Adams? I don't know. David Walliams?

Yeah, get back to Highlander Aaron Taylor Johnson is out get back to Morbius or whoever you play And need to resolve her get back to Luther. That's right. It was that was like 50 to so that makes sense I guess he would have been good like yeah 10 years ago. What's he doing recently? He's on chicken shop date. He was all like, what was he promoting? What was he promoting?
Starting point is 00:06:28 Yeah. Probably the Suicide Squad. No, it's, he's in that movie where he and John Cena are the president and the prime minister. Me and John Cena are the president and prime minister who are going to do action flip. They've got to do action flip. I think they're too old to do action flip. Is this a real movie? Yeah. It's called Heads of State. Are to do action flip. I think they're too old to do action flip. Is this a real movie?
Starting point is 00:06:46 Yeah, it's called Heads of State. James, how could I ever invent something? Do they do action flip together? I bet they do. Is it an action movie? Yes. US President Will Derringer and British Prime Minister Sam Clark have a not so friendly and very public rivalry. However, when Air Force One gets shot down over enemy territory, they find...
Starting point is 00:07:04 And the cut's off, so I'm gonna shoot love. Action flip. They find love. And action flip. They do an action flip on a desert island and they fall in love. That's wonderful, actually. Mm-hmm. Three actors on Amazon.
Starting point is 00:07:15 Oh, Jack Quaid's in it. Oh, that's good. And Carla Gugino. Oh, that's good. And Patty Considine. That's good. There, these are good stuff. Three actors on Amazon.
Starting point is 00:07:23 Steven Root is in it. From News Radio. That's fun. I agree. You're, these are good stuff. Three actors on Amazon. Steven Root is in it from Newsradio. That's fun. I agree. You're gonna love this Mason. Go on. Three actors on Amazon's wishlist. Harris Dickinson, who was in Baby Girl. I don't hate it.
Starting point is 00:07:34 Jacob Elordi. He was Elvis recently. And Frankenstein. And Frankenstein and. And Saltburn. And Saltburn, yeah. Australian also. That's true.
Starting point is 00:07:43 He does, he does look like a smug prick as well. Yeah, that's... I was initially against it because again, he's the size of Frankenstein's monster. Yeah. But also he has the smugness. He has the private school smugness. Yes, and you need that. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:07:56 I don't know about that though. There has been an Australian Bond before and of course, Tom Holland. This is not a joke. He's been mentioned. Come on, man. Yeah, I know. I know, but come on, man. I don't think it's going to be Tom Holland right? No I don't think so either. He was already young charted. Yeah. He's already a young man. I guess he could be young Bond but again. He's 30 also. And he's, Bond needs to be a little bit imposing.
Starting point is 00:08:18 He needs to be a little bit. Shaka not stood. Excuse me Shaka not stood. He's jumping up trying to get. Yeah yeah yeah yeah. The bartender's like no I guess I'll get out my martini shaker for mice. Here we go. This is him jumping up. Trying to get on the chair. Tom Holland, I mean James Bond. God bless you, Tom Holland, we love you. We hope you get the job.
Starting point is 00:08:38 Do we? Yes. Do you hope that? Kind of. Okay. All right. Where have these names come from? Variety. Okay, but where have they got them from? They make them up? I don't know, honestly. Apparently Amazon
Starting point is 00:08:50 were very interested in working with Nolan on Bond, even if it meant breaking a decades long rule of allowing a Bond director to have Final Cut. But according to Puck, apparently Denis Villeneuve won't have Final Cut. Yeah. So that's interesting. I don't even know if that's true. But um. Yeah, no, I think that's probably why Nolan didn't take it. Yeah. He loves final cut pro. No, he was going to get final cut. That's what they're saying. Yeah. Is that true? That's what Variety said. Yeah. They're lying or you can't read.
Starting point is 00:09:16 Both. Right. They're lying and I can't read. That's great. Now, Denis Villeneuve, of course, is directing, shooting Dune 3, set for a December 2026 release date. So this Bond movie is coming 2028 at the earliest. And that's if everything goes well, which it won't. That's correct. Yes. So, uh, yeah, I don't know, I guess expect some kind of Bond announcement soon in terms of casting and Bond announcement. Sure. What do you want to see in this, James? You want to go back to the sixties? Yeah yeah maybe. Do you want him to be like, oh I'm so sad I've got issues, I've got generational trauma. No I want him to be like a full psychopath like he is in the books.
Starting point is 00:09:52 We recently did a comic book club on a, what was that James Bond comic book? It's called Your Cold Cold Heart, it's through Dynamite Comics, it was written by Garth Ennis who created The Boys. Now you could look at that at BigSandwich. That's great. Yeah, but that's an incredible comic Mm-hmm. So that is that's that's the worst bond you've ever seen. Yeah, I think all the dynamite comic books Yeah, dynamite James Bond comic books are very good. So there you go. Yeah Yeah, I kind of I would like modern but what I want I think modern bond. I want a Psychopath. Yeah, and I also just want missions. Mm-hmm. I know I we've had enough of he doesn't need an arc. No He just needs to go on missions and shoot people and not cry about it. That's exactly right. It's important
Starting point is 00:10:34 So that's but I think after a reaction sequence is I'm not gonna cry about it But if you want to cry about it, that's okay, but I'm not gonna hear some resources and I put the rest They put the links. Oh, he's telling the audience. He holds up his card and it's got a QR code on it and you scan it. A QR code? That's right. And you scan it in the cinemas. We're all encouraged to have our phones out the whole time for when he pulls the QR code out. And it takes you to haveabigsuk.gov.uk. That's right. Yeah. What do you think about that? I love that. Yeah, I think that's good. All right. Yeah. What do you think about that? I love that.
Starting point is 00:11:03 Yeah. Cool. I think that's good. All right. So Bond, is it happening? You're going to have to buy haveabigsuk.gov.uk. I can't. It's a government website.
Starting point is 00:11:11 They can put anything up. Yeah. Keir Starmer is going to put up something that will really embarrass you. He would, wouldn't he? Yeah, that's right. He's always up to that. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Mason, he's a bit of news. After much news. The Batman Part 2. I just, before we do, do you have any thoughts about Bond? Any more thoughts? No, I think I want him to take it back to a sinister, mean man. For sure, yeah. And I love that idea of just missions and he's friend to nobody.
Starting point is 00:11:37 Yeah, just that comic. Do you want him to drive an Aston Martin car? I don't care about any of that. Well, it's too bad. He's driving an Aston Martin car unless another car about any of that. Well, it's too bad. He's driving an Aston Martin car unless another car brand offers more money Oh like a Fiat like a Fiat and the seed is yes it is. Yeah Yeah, do you have do you care about what kind of style do you want him in? Uh, I mean, I think you want him to have a watch that shoots a laser? Yes, well, you don't want that stuff. You want it more grounded? No, I want to watch it shoots a laser. Okay. Yeah. Yeah
Starting point is 00:12:03 Fine. Yeah, what about yeah. All right, fine. What about a grott watch? Yeah, grott watch for a grott. Absolutely, I do. I think they see again, you know, we've talked extensively about the Bond movies, but I think they overcorrected with the last few to like bring it back more to an attempt to bring it aesthetically back to like classic Bond without, but keeping him as the kind of sad sack.
Starting point is 00:12:29 So he has, he doesn't have to have a little Walter PPK because Bond has a Walter PPK. Like a modern Bond wouldn't do that. You know what I mean? Because it's a witty little funny little gun. But he can keep it in his sock or the front of his pants. He can keep it in, yeah. Plenty of room in there. One in the sock, one in the front of the pant.
Starting point is 00:12:43 Two guns. That's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, one in the sock, one in the front of the pant, two guns. That's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, cool. So the Batman part two, Mason, the script is finished. Oh, finally. Matt Reeves posted on Twitter. At least the first draft.
Starting point is 00:12:52 True. He's sitting with Matt St. Tomlin, who he called his partner in crime. He did script. What crimes did they do? They didn't say specifically, but I Ooh, I can't even say that. Script theft? Yeah, that's one of the things. Wow.
Starting point is 00:13:08 Yeah. Apparently, Matt Tomlin, Matson Tomlin in addition to script theft, he did script revisions on the original film. I bet he did. There was even talk about like, what is going on with this? Is it even happening? Because we are also getting a DCU Batman. Is it going to be this Batman?
Starting point is 00:13:22 Probably not. But maybe, maybe that's the surprise. Maybe it it is maybe the DCU was set further down the line that's what I'm whatever that's I mean it you know I like Robert Pattinson as Batman a lot I think it worked I think that you can make it work yeah and I think the I think the metropolis and the Gotham are stylized enough that they they're just shy of being the real world so I think they would work well together yeah and I think I think we've work well together. And I think, I think we've even mentioned this in the podcast, you take the patents in Batman, you revise
Starting point is 00:13:49 the suit so it's less homemade. You make it kind of, you know, cleaner and, and, and lines lines. And then you make it very clear that this is 10 years into his journey as opposed to the, the to the Batman universe. You make the delineation very clear and then you can just do both. I do like the idea of hiring an enormous man though. Oh, like a Richson? Yeah, not necessarily him. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Do you think we'll get a hint towards it in Superman? I don't know about that. Maybe just like- People have seen it. Yeah, that's true. It is. It's certain reviewers, not us. No spoilers. Might be nice. No spoilers here, Mason. Mm-hmm, that's right. Yeah. So we don't know yet. We don't know. But, uh, yeah, I mean, next week is Jurassic World 4, Jurassic Park 7, and then the week after is Superman. But, uh, yeah. You looking forward to Jurassic Park 4, Jurassic World 7? Just about whatever it is. I guess. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:43 Pretty fun. You'd prefer an enormous guy. Yeah,? Just about whatever it is. I guess. Yeah. Yeah, this guy. Pretty fun. You'd prefer an enormous guy. Yeah, but I don't have to. I do whatever. Or is that going to use angles? It's not up to you, James. Doesn't matter, I don't care.
Starting point is 00:14:52 Well, it's good that you don't care, because it's not up to you. Also, I watched- You don't get a single vote on this. I don't, that's good. I shouldn't. I watched The Batman on the way- I also think you shouldn't. Thanks, on the way to the UK last year. It's a fucking incredible movie.
Starting point is 00:15:03 It might be the best Batman movie. Agreed. It might be. It's really fucking incredible movie. It might be the best Batman movie. It might be. It's really good. But also like Robert Pattinson is now like 40. So he was young. So you got to kind of move this along. Ten years too old to be James Bond. Yeah, I know. He couldn't do it. Too much eyeliner. That's right. Ten years too young to be old Batman. That's true also. God, he's in the worst middle ground, isn't he?
Starting point is 00:15:23 That's right. Exactly. Right in time to be a weird creep though. That's true also. God, he's in the worst middle ground, isn't he? That's right, exactly. Yeah, alright. Right in time to be a weird creep though. That's true, yeah. Just play a weird creep on him. A goblin guy. He's in the Gyllenhaal creep zone. Yeah, he's in that creep zone. Tom Holland will be coming up on that in a few years. Yeah, we nearly in the creep zone, right?
Starting point is 00:15:36 I don't think he'll ever kind of fully devolve into a creep zone. You don't think so? No. I think you've got to stay alive, then you get aged just a little bit. So you're a bit sickly because you've been doing too much Hollywood cardio. Yeah. Yeah. Hope he finally does that Fred Astaire biopic and he's all gobliny for it. Yeah, that would be good.
Starting point is 00:15:52 That would be nice. Um... Batman. Batman? The Batman. The Batman, yeah. We don't even know if this is a fantastical The Batman Universe. That's true, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:02 Which it doesn't seem to be, but we are getting a Clayface movie, but that's also set in the DCU, and we don't know what kind of Clayface, presumably fantastical, because Clayface was also in... Creature Command. That's correct, yes, that's right. God.
Starting point is 00:16:14 That's right. There we go. Yeah. Great. One thing that I will say about the Superman movie, I don't think this is a spoiler, because it seems to be pretty obvious, is that apparently in it,
Starting point is 00:16:24 he's not the first superhero. No, which is which is the Justice Gang Yeah, but and also others but I mean that is true of most modern DC universes like he's he's an early He's an early modern age superhero, but there's a previous generation before him like the Justice Society I mean, you don't want to be the first Exactly, you know you have to keep having to explain the costume. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. You know what I mean? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:48 I mean Man of Steel was first wasn't he sort of I guess? Wonder Woman maybe? No, but then it was revealed that he wasn't. Wonder Woman 84 and others. Yeah, and also that Batman had been fighting crime and murder for 20 years. Been a bad dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I forgot about that.
Starting point is 00:17:01 Just nobody mentioned in Man of Steel. And Marsha Manhunter worked for the government. That's correct. Yeah. And he was Superman's mom. He was Superman's mom for a minute, yeah. Alright, trailers ahoy. Honk.
Starting point is 00:17:11 Just the one this week Mason, it's the final trailer for Fantastic Four, First Steps. That's right. A lot of things going on here. The song of course. The thing doesn't want to say it's clobbering time. That's correct. And he has a beard. He has a beard.
Starting point is 00:17:24 How's he doing that? Rock beard. Rock beard. But yeah. Probably beard, always beard. Do you reckon he went to another dimension and he got stuck there for a while and then he came back and he had rock beard? Cause the time displacement.
Starting point is 00:17:35 Maybe all, I reckon there might be like some sort of subplot in the movie where like, you know, Reed and Sue, they're off doing science stuff and he's like, oh, I can't do anything. I just punch. I'm just going to be sad and I'm going to sit in my apartment and grow a beard in my trackie deck. Yeah. You know, so maybe that isn't often future thing. Not often, but the future thing has had the beard. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:57 Like when he's, you know, when we go to a Marvel future where he's been around for 500 years, he's got the rock beard. Okay. He doesn't, hasn't had, doesn't been chill, chiseling at all. Exactly. Okay. Yeah's got the rock beard. Okay. He doesn't have, it doesn't mean chiseling it off. Exactly. Okay. Yeah. No, fair enough. I mean, I think of the trailers, this is probably my favorite. It's also got the, this version of the Silver Surfer. That visual effect is looking very good.
Starting point is 00:18:14 Very good. Yeah. More Galactus. Apparently there's a lot of practical stuff in this. Like they use a guy in a suit for Galactus for a lot of it. To practice. Very good. Thank you. Yeah. And they'll end up in the MCU at the end, because we saw at the end of Thunderbolts, their rocket came in from another dimension.
Starting point is 00:18:31 That's true. Spoiler alert for the Thunderbolts. It could have been the Beatles' rocket ship. Could have been the Beatles' rocket ship. They're the fab four, aren't they? Yeah. They've got a four on it. Name another.
Starting point is 00:18:39 Where are the Beatles? We're in the MCU. That's exactly right. Where's Doctor Strange? Is that what they... Psychedelic, et cetera. Is that what they'd be curious about. Yeah, where is he? We want to look at time gems or whatever Have some doctor's grade. Oh, okay. There's a doctor strange magic. They're on there. They're on there. Yes The journey I'm John Lennon. I'm not shot yet yet
Starting point is 00:19:00 That's right. I know yeah, I know it's going to happen That's right, I know. I know it's going to happen. Hope Robert Downey Jr. doesn't shoot me. Everything's too woke nowadays. That's present day John Lennon, as we know. Great stuff, Mason. So that of course is coming two weeks after Fantastic Four. But then the ship opens and it's actually the Monkeys. They killed the Beatles. Hey, we're the Monkeys. We killed the Beatles. People say we monkey around, but actually we killed the Beatles. Hey, where the monkeys were killed the Beatles. Exactly. People say we monkey around, but actually we killed the Beatles. So we got them, they thought we were monkeying around, but there were a load of guns.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Where are the monkeys from? I think, I don't know, I think they're American. Yeah, okay. Whatever, it's fine. It's fine? It's fine. It's fine for us to do this, I think. It's not illegal.
Starting point is 00:19:44 No, it's certainly not illegal. I took them to Davy Jones' locker. What? Which is, I buried them in my basement. It was Davy Jones who was in the monkeys. He was, was he? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cool man.
Starting point is 00:19:54 That's a metaphor for the bottom of the sea. Wow, was that his real name? I don't know. Because they were manufacturing whatever. They used to mime and not really play their instruments. Something like that, yeah. I just saw that in The Simpsons. I don't know whether that's true.
Starting point is 00:20:02 And Marge died or something if you saw that. What? Well, in the future. She's gonna die in the future. Exactly, we're all gonna die in the future. There's been no establishing law that she's somehow immortal. Unlike the X-Files, Scully. Yeah, that's absolutely true.
Starting point is 00:20:18 Scully's immortal? Yeah. Great. She could experiment on him. That's cool. By the aliens. But in the episode Clyde Bruckman's final repose, where Clyde Bruckman can see how everybody dies. He says to her you don't
Starting point is 00:20:29 That sucks Mason it's deadline time. Oh, okay. Good. The social network too is happening. That's sort of it It's a sequel. Okay, so it's so Aaron talk- Social media too. Yeah, they ruined everything. Yeah, it's bad. They ruined everyone's brains and everything. You listening to this or reading this, you're fucked. That's right. You know it.
Starting point is 00:20:54 You're not the same, are you, as you used to be? No, you can't look away from your phone, but there's nothing good on it, is there? You're having the worst time of your life. That's right. It's giving you psychic damage. Every second you're awake. Hey, is someone just being run over by a car. It's really disturbed you a video of a guy just being run over by a car You're gonna see more or less than this click the button But it won't make a difference because there's so much of this and we don't actually know what we're showing to you
Starting point is 00:21:16 I told you how I got people being spontaneously lit on fire for a while. Yeah, but I got caught in that algorithm But I'd never knew it was coming. Absolutely not. Because it would just happen. I wasn't searching it out. Like if someone would be in the barbershop, then the fucking room would like ignite. I'm like, how did I? I didn't ask for that.
Starting point is 00:21:34 I didn't even know it was going to happen. You lingered on something involving fire or something. I did, yeah. And then when you linger, it's like, well, this is the only thing this person is interested in. So. It stopped happening, but now that I've mentioned it, it's going to come around again is the only thing this person is interested in. So... It stopped happening. But now that I've mentioned it, it's going to come around again. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Yeah, because you've said fire around your phone. And it knows. So Aaron Sorkin is set to write and direct. He, of course, wrote the original one. It's not a straight sequel, but rather a follow up to the original movie. And David Fincher, he's not directing this time, which that sucks. Sure. That's an incredible movie.
Starting point is 00:22:05 And I think it paints a very generous picture of Mark Zuckerberg as a competent human being, where in real life- He knows karate. Yeah, he knows karate. Because he knows that people are gonna try and kill him in the picture. Well, he should, he should know that.
Starting point is 00:22:19 Not me. Me neither, just to be clear. Because we know you're listening, phones. We're not going to kill him. Apparently- I'm just saying never step out of your bunker in the future. Agreed. When the climate collapses.
Starting point is 00:22:31 Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're probably going to want to stay in your bunker and breathe a recycle air and eat food out of a can. Because if you ever step out of that bunker, you and Bezos and all those guys, if you ever step out of that bunker, there's going to be a ring of disgruntled Amazon employees surrounding you with sniper rifles and you're going to get it. Not us though. No, not us.
Starting point is 00:22:48 I've never worked for Amazon. I just love its wonderful products and services and its next day delivery. We think Facebook sucks, but Amazon, wow. Wow. It explores the story behind the Wall Street Journal's The Facebook Files by Jeff Horowitz, an explosive series of articles published in October 2021 that exposes the inner workings of and multiple harms caused by the world's largest social network. Oh, name one harm. People looking at it like teenagers and then getting bodied as more fear.
Starting point is 00:23:14 People storming the Capitol on January 6. Seeing lots of videos of being stuff set on fire. Things are too woke. How about that one? Yeah. Being sad because you see a photo of someone, it's their birthday and they're 142 years old and they made their own cake but nobody showed up to their birthday. That's so sad.
Starting point is 00:23:28 And it is sad, isn't it? Yeah. I see that every day. I don't even think those people could be that old. Yeah, they are. I see 10 a day. Sources stress that the new film isn't a January 6th movie and will focus not on the 2020-2020 election, according to Lipton, but also Facebook's effects on teens.
Starting point is 00:23:45 Here we go 2020 2020 2020 election hasn't happened yet. It won't happen for like, or ever. Probably won't happen. Probably won't happen honestly. But also Facebook's effects on teens, pre-teens, violence in countries outside of the US. No word on who will return. I mean, it's obviously speculated that Jesse Eisenberg will be back.
Starting point is 00:24:01 Yep. I'd like to see him get like buff and. Oh, do karate. Well he knows karate from the movie, The Art of Self-Defense. That is true. I would also love to, they probably won't get to it, but the third movie where he's tried to reinvent himself
Starting point is 00:24:13 as a cool and normal guy. You know he's grown his hair out and he's wearing like pookashell necklaces and being like, I love bow hunting. And then you're like, oh, you're also wearing a million dollar watch. He's got a lot of million dollar watches. God, he's the worst.
Starting point is 00:24:24 Did Jesse Eisenberg win an Oscar for his last movie? The one that's in the social network or just like... No, for um... Frickin' the one he... Real pain. Yeah, he won... Oh no, yeah, he won a BAFTA award for Best Original Screenplay. He won an Academy Award for nomination for Best Original Screenplay.
Starting point is 00:24:41 Yeah, and Kieran Culkin won. Yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah, that's great. That's great. Yeah, I would love Jesse Eisenberg to return. I mean it probably probably wouldn't get who else was in that movie like Armie Hammer probably not. Probably not in it. Also they're not really relevant to the story. Dakota Johnson? Yeah maybe. Probably not. Like probably not like the the Napster guy like he wouldn't be relevant anymore. I mean Justin Timberlake is. Oh yeah, he's very relevant. He's still on that world tour. That's right.
Starting point is 00:25:07 Yeah, so yeah, I don't know. I'm excited for this. I would rather David Fincher direct it. Also, he might be doing mind hunter stuff again, which is good. There might be some mind hunter movies, which I would love. Final bit of news? Final bit of news? Yes. Well, did Zuckerberg ever do any legal action about Facebook? I don't think so. Okay, do you think he would now?
Starting point is 00:25:28 Oh, you mean like the movie you're talking about? Yeah, yeah, yeah, like in terms of how he's portrayed. I think that paints him in a pretty favorable light. I was gonna say so maybe that I mean so like, I guess my question here is like, is this going to be, is this going to go in hard on Mark Zuckerberg and the, the, the destruction that social media has wrought on people's brains and lives in the real world? If it did, what do you think they're going to be like, well, he might sue us.
Starting point is 00:25:52 So we better, we'll, we'll just say, we don't know how it happened. We don't know how it happened. Yeah, I don't know. I think that movie painted him as like less of a loser than he actually is. Right. I know he is like a big loser in that, but just the idea that like, I think that movie painted him as like less of a loser than he actually is. Right. I know he is like a big loser in that, but just the idea that like, I think his business acumen is like the fact that he's been pushing the metaverse for so long.
Starting point is 00:26:12 It's like, dude, nobody wants this. Anyway, Mason. Yeah. The metaverse, I mean, the metaverse, the metaverse died as soon as AI became the new thing. Yeah. But this new thing to funnel venture capital new thing. Yeah, but there's still- The new thing to funnel venture capital money into. Yeah, you're not wrong.
Starting point is 00:26:27 That's real cool. Yeah. Anyway, Puck, Mason, they're saying that Michael Bay is returning to Transformers. What is Puck? It's a website. Interesting. For puck.com? Yep, probably.
Starting point is 00:26:36 So Bay approached the studio last year to come back as a hands-on producer and possibly director, and he's got writer Jordan- P-U-C-K? What's that? P-U-C-K.com? Yes. Got writer Jordan Van Diena working on a script. Not that matters. Okay.
Starting point is 00:26:50 Puck.com. Built to lead. At Puck we help you find innovative liquid transfer solutions. Yeah, you know that? Yeah. Puck equipment helps you move liquid. At Puck we manufacture and sell liquid transfer equipment, hose and couplings to help you move water, slurry, oil, fuel and other liquids safely and efficiently.
Starting point is 00:27:04 So you're saying they've got the scoop here on skippity toilet. That's how they've gotten this. It's come through the toilet, hasn't it? It probably has, yeah. That's right. What began with quality built manure pumps and hose carts for liquid manure dragline application operations has led to innovative equipment and technologies such as our leading edge light speed control systems.
Starting point is 00:27:22 Oh, it's Puck News, sorry. Is that better? No, I'm not interested now. I get all my news from puck.com. Oh, okay. It's puck.news. I don't know. No?
Starting point is 00:27:33 No. All right, man. Sorry. It's one of, apparently this one is one of five or so Transformers projects in development that David Ellison and Skydance will inherit if and when the Paramount sale closes. Okay. Josh Cooley, who made last year's animated Transformers 1 just close a deal to pursue a live action take. And also there was a possible GIGO slash Transformers crossover in development and the studio has two separate ideas at early stages. I understand why that would go to Michael Bay
Starting point is 00:27:59 because they're the ones that all made a billion dollars, most of them, not all of them. And then after that it's been diminishing returns and people have stopped watching these. But the reason they are diminishing returns now is not because Michael Bay left, it's because we saw too many Michael Bay Transformers movies and we realized they're never going to get any better. Yeah. And then when they started actually getting any better, people were sick of them. Yep.
Starting point is 00:28:19 Did you see this week, the new creative team on the Transformers comic? Who'd they go? IDW, they got Robert Kirkman and they got Dan Mora. What does he work on? the new creative team on the Transformers comic. I tried it out with you. They got Robert Kirkman and they got Dan Mora. What does he work on? Dan Mora, he does a lot of Batman, Superman art. Okay. You'd be like, whoa. Well, that's good.
Starting point is 00:28:34 Yes. Okay. But Robert Kirkman, Walking Dead guy. Yeah, that's great. He does, of course he does freaking void robbers. Wait, who's currently, yeah, I was gonna say, cause yeah. But he's gonna write the main.
Starting point is 00:28:44 The main line, the main thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Great, that's currently... I was gonna say, because yeah. But he's right, he's gonna write the main... The main line, the main thing. Great, that's awesome. But this is some classic, he has some classic Teen Titans art from Dan Mora. Oh, that's good stuff. I love that. He's good, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. God, Teen Titans, right? Dan Mora feels like the... he feels like he's the new DC style guide guy. Right, okay. Like there's a Justice League guy for you. Oh, that's good stuff. I love that Superman costume. Yeah Yeah, he's got a real crisp a real crisp look real crisp rat. No No, I'm amazing if you say so. Yeah. Anyway, but hang on I'll see if I can find you a Dan more Optimus Prime you'll be like whoa do you think I like this one? Yeah, look at this. Look at his freaking Optimus Prime. That's a really good. I'm God. He's good So this is that's is that from the new one. This is yes this promo art for the new one I mean, there's so many comics they could draw on mmm, that's good. So is that from the new one? This is, yeah, this is promo art for the new one. I mean, there's so many comics they could draw on that's not just like, I don't know, six Autobots standing in the desert being like,
Starting point is 00:29:33 we think Megatron's coming or whatever, but they probably won't. They'll probably do something bad. I think, yeah, so they're looking at Michael Bay as like, maybe this will revitalize and people will be excited. And look, maybe he will have some stellar idea, but I also think he took a lot of really interesting Transformers concepts and used that to like promote the film. Mm-hmm. Or like to get people into cinemas like Dinobots or whatever. Or Devastator, Combiner, Combiner robots. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And now it's like, well, I don't know, what else do you have?
Starting point is 00:30:00 Mm-hmm. Yeah. It'll also be interesting if he is directing another one of these to see how his sensibilities have changed or how the Michael Bay Transformers attitude to the world in general is going to come up against the present day. I don't know it wasn't even that long ago, but you remember when he... 2017 was the last one he did. The last one he did. Yeah. The last one he did. Yeah. Yeah. Like, is he going to do, does he, is he going to put in a, a Michaela Baines? Is he going to do a sexy, remember the sexy office? Remember he did sexy office and everyone was like, bleh.
Starting point is 00:30:34 That's, that's- These women are too sexy. That's the thing, right? Because at this point you could bring back- Mark Wahlberg. You shouldn't. But yeah, Tyler Buff, like Megan Fox,, who look actually that one would be all right. So like it's like a retro thing now where that could get people, that could be the thing.
Starting point is 00:30:55 And look, to be fair, we would have- They could also bring back some Transformers. Sure. Have them actually transform. We would have a hell of a time if he made another one. I don't personally want this. I'd rather a good Transformers movie, but I'd also I'd love it really bad one a really weird and bad one again How about one when nobody transforms at all for three hours Mason? I would love that
Starting point is 00:31:15 So the last movie he did was that all that's coming out this year. It's called we are Stora Okay, which is a group of parkour free-running athletes. It's a documentary actually all right Yeah, and before that he did ambulance. I quite like ambulance. Yeah a lot of parkour free running athletes. It's a documentary actually. Oh right, yeah okay. And before that he did Ambulance. I quite like Ambulance. Yeah, a lot of drone shit. And before that was Six Underground, an unwatchable movie. Yeah, that one was bad. Actually, I didn't mind Ambulance either. That was more kind of like his earlier stuff.
Starting point is 00:31:36 But maybe he's looking to come back and make a billion dollars if this works. I don't know, we like the island, don't we? Nope. We don't we? Nope. We don't like it, everyone. We liked Pearl Harbor. No. No.
Starting point is 00:31:49 We liked Armageddon. Again, no. We liked The Rock. Yes. It's a good one. Yes, that's a good one. That's a good one. But again, we watched that when we liked everything.
Starting point is 00:31:57 Yeah, that's true. No, I think that movie's good. Yeah. I don't know. I think, please don't. But- Who are you talking to there? The people at Paramount. Okay, sure. I think, please don't. But who are you talking to there? The people at Paramount. Okay, sure.
Starting point is 00:32:07 But also maybe because it'll be funny. Okay, now you've presented your plea there to the people of Paramount. Are you presenting that with just a staggering amount of money? Actually, I don't have a staggering amount of money. So then they're going to ignore you. Should have sold all those dick pills. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I could have given it to them to not. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:26 Yeah, that's right. Is it too late? Yeah. That would have been like, oh, we got a proposal from the dick pill king of Australia. He says don't make this movie and he's got that dick pill money. You know it, brother. All right. Should we move it along?
Starting point is 00:32:43 Let's move it along. This episode is brought to you by Oracle 3 Murder at the Grandview. The latest installment of the hit Oracle series, Oracle 3 Murder at the Grandview is available now exclusively on Audible featuring a chilling solo performance by Joshua Jackson.

Starting point is 00:33:46 This is Cold Mules. My name is Yaroslav Paskov, better known as Slava P, and I just pled guilty to a charge of conspiracy to import cocaine into Australia. This is Coal Mules. I'm Kasia Mihailovich. In this series, we piece together what happened when Slava got involved with an international drug smuggling ring. Listen to Coal Mules.

Yeah, there we go.
Starting point is 00:34:19 Rawr. We get to do car noises. Well, I mean, you can do them anytime. You don't. Is that the the tickometer? Is that the bomb in the car? Is that the indicator? Yes.
Starting point is 00:34:30 Are you indicating that I need to tell you what the budget is? Maybe I'm indicating safely, though. That's important. It is important. And I'm not something they really stress in the movie, but it is important. I don't think they have them at all. Wow, that's dangerous. I agree. Race cars is dangerous.
Starting point is 00:34:44 But anyway, that's a car noise anyone can do. Mm hmm. So on a budget of $'s dangerous. I agree. Race cars is dangerous. But anyway, that's a car noise anyone can do. So in a budget of $200 million, this is one of those Apple original movies. It seems like a fake number. Yeah, it does. It's too symmetrical. Too flat and even. Yeah. You might be right there. So in terms of box office though, in the US it's going to bring in between $80 to $85 million dollars I think this is Brad Pitt's biggest opening oh I assume and it's gonna be except movie shows his bum ah yeah monkeys oh yeah and down on the ways yeah yeah probably that's his big other biggest open sure and it's gonna be about 140 million worldwide Dad's the world over a loving Brad Pitt's redemption arc.
Starting point is 00:35:25 This is a real win for Warner Brothers Pictures and Apple Studios and Jerry Brockheimer Films and Plan B Entertainment and Monolith Pictures and Dawn Apollo Films, which are all the production logos that appear at the front of this product. Yes. This promotional product. Oh my God. Because to be clear, this is like... Days of Thunder.
Starting point is 00:35:42 And Gran Turismo. Yes. This is like a, this is a, this is a rounding error that is a movie. Is it good? But it's a, it's a, it's a rounding error that is a promotional tool for the concept of formula. One, this isn't about racing, although it is about race. A lot of it is about racing. Specifically branded as formula one. That's right. They're bringing in real drivers entirely separate to whether this is a good movie. We'll talk about it. Oh yeah real drivers. Entirely separate to whether this is a
Starting point is 00:36:05 good movie. We'll talk about it. Oh yeah, absolutely. But it's not, again, this isn't, this hasn't been made for the love of the game. No. This has been made because it's an ad. Yeah. And they had the cameras from Top Gun. So F1 is apparently Apple's biggest entertainment bet, one of Apple's biggest entertainment bets since it's leaving to Hollywood in 2019. But of course a lot of their products haven't succeeded. Kills the Flower Moon didn't do well. That's right. Yeah, it's good though. But they believe that this, they only want to make things that reflect their high-end aspirational qualities of the iPhone and MacBook. There's little chance in other words that Apple would make a critically-revolved blockbuster like a Minecraft movie.
Starting point is 00:36:43 Ooh, Burn. And they did make that John Krasinski's The Librarian, Indiana Jones man. Hey, we haven't seen that yet. No, it might be really good. Everybody says it's bad, but we haven't seen it yet. Yeah, so there you go. I mean, basically, they're looking to replicate the success of Top Gun Maverick here. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:36:56 To the extent they've gotten Joseph Krasinski. That's right. Yeah. And Brad Pitt's PR is in full swing. He's had a very tasteful facelift. Has he? Oh, yeah. And he's running about town and he's going on Dax Shepard and being like, I'm actually sober now and I quit smoking and I'm-
Starting point is 00:37:11 I apologize for a lot of things I'm not going to talk about. Yeah, I couldn't possibly say it, but I'm a better man and I'm working on myself and whatever. So well done, I guess. Case closed. Case closed as far as I'm concerned. Don't even worry about it. Don't worry about it. Don't look into anything. Don't click the link. If you're looking at the F1 Wikipedia pages, I am just don't click his name and case closed.
Starting point is 00:37:32 Yeah. And the thing is like to briefly touch on this, and I know people are going to be like separate off from the artists or whatever, or there's no proof, et cetera. There's pretty substantial proof that he, that he inflicted some serious psychological and physical damage on his family. And I hope he is better and the psychological and physical damage on his family. And I hope he is better. And then bridges are amended and all of those things. But it just seems weird. The way that this press tour is operating and nobody's fucking talking
Starting point is 00:37:54 about it. I mean, people are talking about it. But I mean, you can't talk to him about it because because then his agent would revoke your press access. So you can never do that. What I would note is that I don't know if you saw some any photos from, I don't know which particular premier this was, but Tom Cruise showed up. Oh yeah. And he was basically just big dogging him the whole time, just like getting in every photo and giving him a big handshake. A big dog handshake.
Starting point is 00:38:18 And being just like, and essentially being like, yeah, I could have been in this. I was busy. Well, yeah, he was, it was going to be a Tom Cruise thing. I mean, it's a Days of Thunder sequel. It's also Top Gun with cars. That's right. But not as good we'll talk about it. What do you think the story was? Okay so Cole Trickle's there. Yeah. He's back. Cole Trickle is back. Yeah he's back from the 80s. Because he was in a big stock car he was the stock car guy he was the NASCAR the king of the NASCAR. We recently did a movie commentary on that. That's right and then Cole Trickle
Starting point is 00:38:44 was in an accident it was a big accident. Is he okay? No, it sucked for him. How many years did he suck? 20 years. Probably more. Probably 30 years. But then he's back and he's been racing in all Daytona circuits and all the lower end stuff. Has he kept fit? He's been kept pretty fit. Does he live in a van but all his clothes are exceptional? He does live in a van. His clothes are exceptional. His watches cost tens of thousands of dollars. Let me tell you that much. But I guess you win a watch when you win a Daytona or whatever. Sure.
Starting point is 00:39:10 But nobody knows who he is, sort of. Even though he's famously been winning any race that he's ever done. Nobody knows who he is or what happened to him even though he was in a race with like Ayrton Senna and all the famous guys. And he fell on the track. And he fell on the track, yes. And exploded. And everybody saw it. And everybody saw it.
Starting point is 00:39:26 But everybody's forgotten that, so don't worry about it. But remember it, because it's his arc. So anyway, Colt Rickle, he's now, he's won a couple of races, like minor league races, and now his friend Javier Bardem, who presumably had an analogue in Days of Thunder. I don't know who was. Yeah, Robert Duvall. Who was Robert Duvall? He's playing the Robert Duvall character.
Starting point is 00:39:43 He's playing the Robert Duvall character. No, he would be the Bic Michael Rooker character, I guess. He would be Michael Rooker, yeah. Or the Carrie Elvis. And he would, because he's still got that incredible hair. I agree. Because Michael Rooker would never have lost his hair. He would have transformed into Javier Bardem.
Starting point is 00:39:55 Yes, that's what's happening. Anyway, he's back and he's like, I've got this racing team called Apex. Yep. Apex. Apex Legends. Yeah. I'd rather be a bloody asex legend. You know what I mean? Yeah, mate. Keep driving. Apex legends. Yeah. Rather be a bloody asex legend.
Starting point is 00:40:05 Yeah, my kid. Come on. If you just buy the dick pills. Then but then he's like, oh, I've got this racing team and we've never won. We've poured like 900 million dollars into this or whatever. And we've never won a single point or anything, which apparently if you if you if you're tenth place, you get a point. OK, so we've never won one point.
Starting point is 00:40:31 We've got one guy in one point. We need a new guy. We need a bloke on the board, man. Well, let's get a let's get a 61 year old man in. Yeah. Can you do it? And he's like, well, they don't explicitly say 61. No, but Brad Pitt is 60. Yeah. But they're like, you know, some races are old.
Starting point is 00:40:44 This guy was 56 and whatever and you're whatever, H. You've had a very tasteful facelift. That's right. And you didn't do anything shady. So welcome back. Anyway, and he's like, I won't do it. But then he's like, I will do it. Yeah, actually.
Starting point is 00:40:54 I'll show up slinging a Tom Cruise bag over my shoulder coming in very Tom Cruise style on the racetrack. I'll literally do it. Cause why wouldn't I? I'll do any race. Yeah. Why wouldn't I do this one in particular? I guess I did fall out of the car that time. Yeah Anyway, he feels the need for speed. He certainly does Mason I hope he doesn't meet a good-looking woman who's gonna teach him how to be a better race driver or whatever
Starting point is 00:41:16 Well, he teaches her how to be better at her job, which is designing race cars. Yeah, that's right I look I understand why people like this. It's pretty like feel good It's pretty stock in terms of story stock like a car. Yeah, I'm not really I'm not a huge race car movie person I mean, I liked rush. I did I like Ford versus Ferrari. I thought the relations that was interesting in that I like cars three. What if the car had a depression? Yeah, you like Peter Brock? No in his past No, he's a crook boy. Do you like his box of crystals in his car? That I do like. That is pretty good. His box of healing crystals that fixed his car or whatever.
Starting point is 00:41:47 Yeah, he fixed his car's molecules. I could not get into this. That's interesting. I just, it felt really contri... And I know it's the same movie as Top Gun Madness. It absolutely is, yes. But there was something about that. It's about passing the torch, but actually you don't pass the torch.
Starting point is 00:42:04 At all. It's about passing the torch but actually you don't pass the torch. At all. It's the same. It's about maybe you made a mistake, just kidding you didn't. Was Tom Cruise not in this just because he was filming Mission Impossible? Maybe yeah. Because it's just the same thing. And they are doing Days of Thunder too. But they can't because they have to do a different plot because Top Gun Maverick is to Top Gun as this movie is to Days of Thunder.
Starting point is 00:42:29 Yeah, absolutely. Well, it's interesting because Top Gun and Days of Thunder, it's the same creative team, but it's just got Tom Cruise in both. And this is the same creative team except they've just switched the lead out. So I think that just like 30, 40 years later, I think that's really interesting that we've come around to this. Yeah. How'd you feel about it? I thought I was pretty thoroughly entertained. Okay. But again, you're absolutely right. It's not it's not reinventing the wheel, as it were. Yeah. Even though bloody Kerry Conn is reinventing the bloody side. Yeah. Things. I didn't hate it. Building a death race car. Yeah. I didn't hate it. Like honestly, like I just didn't. It never gripped me like it Like a tire like a tire exactly a lot of car metaphors by accident
Starting point is 00:43:10 I think yeah, and I think it was that like I don't care. I'm picking up on your transmission. You are I don't care if like the lead guy Cole Trickle wins He's kind of smug and right by default just like the whole time and he's just like you would you say? by default just like the whole time and he's just like... Would you say Brad Pitt is phoning it in? It does feel a bit like that. Do you think that's his face though? No, maybe because there is a skill to looking incredibly cool and like and handling things. He's very charismatic and he presents really well.
Starting point is 00:43:42 So I wouldn't... he does that really well. Like I liked- Yeah, standing around. Yeah, I liked his click, his Cliff Booth and whatever. Like, you know what I mean? He's got that kind of old school Hollywood presence. But I think it was more on the character. And maybe it was some like real life stuff
Starting point is 00:43:58 that kind of bled into this. But I just don't think, like he was never wrong at any point. He was telling everybody what their job their job was like, huh? Kerry even though he's been out of it for years like the the the technology and the strategy of yeah This f1 stuff you would think would be so far beyond him at this point that he wouldn't know what's going in Idris like he's doing like he's using technology to get better at racing. He's on the treadmill with the monitors and the VR goggles and whatever. He's wearing an Apple headset and whatever.
Starting point is 00:44:30 Whereas he's running the track, you know? He's doing like a real man. Yeah, he's doing neck chin ups or whatever. Look, I like their back and forth. So Damson Idris, he's in- Who's probably the new Black Panther. That's the rumour. Yeah, so dance and Idris. He's probably the new Black Panther Oh, yeah, he's in outside the wire, which is that movie that Netflix movie about? Anthony Mackie's a robot. Oh that one. Yeah, he's the other guy good. No, not really
Starting point is 00:44:57 What else is he? He's in other stuff. He's in a he's in smithereens. He's in that black mirror episode He said we maybe we talked about this. He's the smith Rains. He's in that black mirror episode. He's we maybe we talked about this. He's the Smith and Rains. He is the he's the intern from the social media company. And Andrew Scott is an Uber driver and he holds him. Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:16 Also last week, you said the kid from 28 years later was the kid from adolescence. That is not true. That's not true. Well, people are going to tell me about it in emails. I assume that's correct. Yes. That's great.. Well people are gonna tell me about it in emails. I assume that's correct. Yes. That's great Um, well, they look the same He's also he was also in casualty but everybody's in casualty we've been in a few episodes of casualty we have yeah
Starting point is 00:45:35 Yeah, that was good. That was a good fun day, wasn't it? Yeah, I don't know. It just I think also With when Maverick came back. I believe the story of his life in between. Right. This is like, again, he didn't seem like a burnout living in his van. He got all these beautiful, beautiful vintage and modern clothing and like cool sunglasses. And like I get they're going for that Paul Newman, Lamont's kind of Steve McQueen, whatever kind of thing. I understand that. But it didn't it didn't gel for me like who this person I think I like this more than you did but I mean at the same time I'm not like again I didn't hate
Starting point is 00:46:10 it yeah yeah I can't stress that enough Mason okay well in supporting cast yep I like I love Kerry Condon in anything she's great she is the she plays you know the the required love interest she and at least she's age-appropriate to some degree within 20 years yeah that's right and she looks like a real person she does look like I know is a bizarre thing to say but yeah uh-huh yeah but so she plays the the world's first tech female technical lead of a Formula One team so she's the one that looks at all the airflow and says we should put a different side yeah Yeah. And he's like, have you ever considered testing airflow if
Starting point is 00:46:49 you turn the car and she's like, I didn't think of that. That's not a moron. Yeah. I thought I don't you just get in the car and just driving a straight line for hours. Isn't that just what happens? I shut my eyes as soon as the race starts. Is that that I had a problem with because Brad Pitt would come in and be like, even though this is your job, this is how you should do it. And same with Damson Idris. It's like, well, I just race like this. There's a moment where there's a crash and it's like, oh, Brad Pitt, you're responsible
Starting point is 00:47:18 for this. But he isn't. He made the right decision and his teammate made the wrong call. And so it's kind of like, what's the arc here? That he's just really good at everything and everyone should listen to him? Yes, because it's the Maverick script. That's why. Because I'm an old guy and I was good at something when I was young and now I'm back and living
Starting point is 00:47:38 my glory days. They've forgotten. They've forgotten the key is to drive fast and correctly. Or incorrectly. And it was just a lot of like, what kind of tyres you got? You should change your tyres. You can't change your tyres yet. Now's the time to change your tyres.
Starting point is 00:47:50 You can't change your tyres. That guy ahead of you, he's changed his tyres. Well, now it's time to change my tyres. For different tyres. That's giving you an advantage of one now, because you changed your tyres by accident or at the right time. Cole, you've got to come in and put on good tyres. How about this?
Starting point is 00:48:04 You put on the bad tyres. We shouldn't do that. Well on good tires. How about this you put on the bad tires? We shouldn't do that. Well do it always one on the bad tires This car didn't explode except what it does, but that's good when that happens. That's right It looks incredible Yeah, it does absolutely so it's all the technology used to top gun maverick strapping cameras to fast things It does absolutely. So it's all the technology used to top-gum-babric strapping cameras to fast things They film this in real Grand Prix's around the world It's very evident that it's real locations for a lot of it And boy if you like seeing guys and being like I recognize that guy from the Formula One. That's Lewis Hamilton
Starting point is 00:48:36 Yeah, in my case from watch ads. Yes, that's Lewis Hamilton from watch ads the IWC watch company It's I mean from the reviews we got I I think people were mostly positive, pretty much exclusively. How accurate do you think this is to real Formula 1? Well, that's what I was going to say. I think it does, I don't know anything about Formula 1, but I think it does straddle the line between- No, don't be modest. I know a lot about Formula 1.
Starting point is 00:48:56 I'm not going to get into it, but it does, for a person who knows nothing about it, like me and you, it gives you enough information to follow, but I think there is enough of those little details to be like oh, that's a very specific formula one rule or tire Which yeah, like it's unlikely that this would happen, but you know it's within the boundaries of formula one. I guess you know yeah He's got a lot of demolition derby kind of techniques techniques. Yeah, he's always knocking her He's always knocking a wing off his car or somebody else's never has to slow down Yeah, sneaky god Brad Pitt's a sneaky little imp. He certainly is Mason Yeah, I like Harvey about him Tobias Menzies is good as the as the villainous. Yes, so he's board member He's in a black mirror as well. I think and now he's in
Starting point is 00:49:38 He's in the Waldo episode. Oh, he's the Waldo Politician guy. Yeah, no, he's he's the he's the opposition. Yeah, no, he's the opposition. Yeah, the opposition, that's me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, no, he's suitably me. What else is he in? He's in a bunch of stuff. I feel like he's in Outlander, maybe.
Starting point is 00:49:52 He is in Outlander. Yeah, no, he plays one of the investors in the team who has ulterior motives. So he's the villain, but like, not really. He's in it sometimes. Sometimes he's sometimes sometimes there's no real villain in this no Well, it's like he's like the Dean who's gonna get a bunch of yeah Gatorade dumped on him at the end Oh, whatever. Yeah, it's like well, it's the similar thing to Tully in Game of Thrones. There you go Oh, yeah, he's to be a barrier character, but he's also it's that thing of like in Days of Thunder Prince Philip It's Prince Philip in the crown.
Starting point is 00:50:25 I haven't seen that. That's bad. Yeah. Hopefully, I don't think he's bad. Prince Philip, you don't think Prince Philip is bad. No, no, I think he's Prince Philip is bad. I don't think he's Prince Benz. I think it's like Days of Thunder.
Starting point is 00:50:35 There's like, there is a villain, it's Carrie Alvarez, and it feels similarly like, which is just kind of tacked on last minute. Yeah. It's like, oh yeah. And he is introduced early on. Yes. But this villainous, the arc. His villainous nature only comes up at the end. He's like, what if money? What if money and there was money? Yeah. What if you weren't the best racer in the world and as a result I would get a lot of money? Well, too bad. I
Starting point is 00:50:56 am gonna be the best racer in the world. I'm the best racer in the world. So you're gonna lose money. Yeah. Some of your money. Some of your money. But you're also very rich. You're gonna be alright actually. Yeah, you're gonna be fine I reckon. Do you wanna do some spoilers? Ah, yes. Let's do some spoilers. Yeah, you're going to be fine I reckon. Do you want to do some spoilers? Ah yes, let's do some spoilers. Look I was generally pretty pretty into it. Yeah I'm going to say best movie ever. Didn't hate it. I would 100% watch Top Gun Maverick over this any day of the week. Right okay. Yeah I don't think I'll ever come back to this. But I would watch yeah again Maverick again. So yeah I think I guess this is the biggest spoiler in this is that just Brad Pitt wins. That's true.
Starting point is 00:51:25 He does. Like the whole thing is kind of similar to Top Gun Maverick. The idea is you're building up your rookie and your team and whatever and this guy's going to be, you're passing the torch and you're imparting wisdom. That's right. And at the end, I think the canny move here is that he's like, I'm going to do a move that will let the new guy win. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:43 Oh no, he can't win. That's right. Because Lewis Hamilton ran into him or something. That's right. So... Let's have the new guy let this guy win. Yeah. And then he does. But he doesn't- but then he leaves.
Starting point is 00:51:53 He's like, my work here is done everybody. That's right. Do you wanna say goodbye? No. Yeah. I wanna drive off my van. I wanna go to Mexico and race dune buggies. That's right. And people are like, who are you?
Starting point is 00:52:01 I'm not famous, I guess. Don't worry about who I am. Yeah, I mean I just won a big race on the television. I mean, I know like Formula One isn't massively successful in the US at the moment. Like it's up and coming. Well, that's why they had to make this ad. Yeah, and due to that Netflix show and whatever.
Starting point is 00:52:17 It did make me want to watch some Formula One. I will say that, but I mean, I don't. Does that drive to survive, whatever it's called, the thing that people. Oh yeah, but I think that the main sticking point for me there is the fact that in this movie they're like And the race is off and then it cuts and it's like lap 68. Yeah, and I'm like, I don't want to watch I don't want to watch any of that. I just want to watch the start Yeah, and then I want to see the characters develop an emotional arc and then one of them to win
Starting point is 00:52:40 Well, that's that Netflix show apparently. Yeah, all right okay. So there you go Mason, you're gonna get into it. Oh. Here's the Formula One drivers and personnel that appear in this. I can't wait. Alexander Alban. Wow. Fernando Alonso. Mm-hmm. Oliver Bearman.
Starting point is 00:52:53 He's a bearman? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, remember him? He's a- A-Rries. Jack Dewan from Australia. Jack Dewan was there, I remember him. Pierre Gasly, I recognise that name. Yes. Lewis Hamilton. Alexander Lewis Hamilton. And et cetera, et cetera.
Starting point is 00:53:14 Lando Norris, I recognise that name. Oscar Piastri from Australia, ever heard of it? And then at the end there's a guy, I assume he's like a team head or something, and he's like, hey Cliff Booth, do you wanna be on my team? Yeah, I'm from Ferrari or whatever. Oh no, he says that to Damson Idris actually. He says, I'm team head or something. He's like, hey, Cliff Booth, you're the best. I'm going to be on my team. Yeah. I'm from Ferrari or whatever. Oh no.
Starting point is 00:53:26 He says that to Damson Idris. Actually says I'm from Ferrari or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. I'm from Ferrari. What have you come from? You can come and have a good time. I'm from one of those cars.
Starting point is 00:53:33 You remember from your childhood, you want to be on my team? You want to come and kiss me in my same? That's what he said. That's what I'm from. I'm from big red fire truck racing. You remember big red fire trucks with your child. Well, that's me. That's right. I'm from Tonka trucks.
Starting point is 00:53:47 That's right. I want you to cover. That's right. I'm Tony Tonka from Tonka. And they're great. That's right. That's right. I invented that. No, you didn't. You think you've Tony the Tiger. Tell that to him. That's what he's going to.
Starting point is 00:53:59 I'm going to. I guess I'll tell his lawyers. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I think this is... I think this is the way that Days of Thunder isn't as good as Top Gun. Like this is like that with the... I think that's horses for courses, James. Days of Thunder is not as good as Top Gun. No, it's not. It's absolutely not. But I...
Starting point is 00:54:16 And this isn't as good as Maverick. And that's fine. No, but I reckon of these two... Yeah. If you were someone who's more into Formula One, I reckon this would take the lead over Top Gun Maverick. Yeah, maybe, I guess. Yeah. into Formula One, I reckon this would probably be Maverick. Oh, yeah, maybe I guess yeah fighter jets though, and that's cool. That's what I'm not into fighter jets Yeah, yeah I could use something all about them. Maybe I'll find something about it
Starting point is 00:54:38 All right, yeah, I've heard of a little thing called the Harrier jump jet. Yeah, I saw it in the true lies movie Yeah, hell yeah. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, nice. Yeah. God. So yeah, should we... Speaking of Mason. Yes? Joseph Kaczynski on what he'd like to do in a Brad Pitt slash Tom Cruise movie.
Starting point is 00:54:53 Yeah. He said, well, right now it'll be Cole Trickle, who's Cruise's character in Days of Thunder. And Brad Pitt's character in this. Sunny Haze, there you go. Yeah, yeah. And they have a past. They'll rival at some point, maybe crossed paths. I heard about an epic go-kart battle on an interview that they an interview with a vampire
Starting point is 00:55:08 The Tom and Brad had and who wouldn't pay to see those two go head to head on a track who wouldn't pay for that Mason Yeah, I'd pay for that So yeah, I don't think that's gonna be the sequel to this but apparently that is gonna be a days of thunder too, but maybe this I don't think that's going to be the sequel to this, but apparently there is going to be a Days of Thunder 2, but maybe this quenches, maybe that scratches this itch. Also, is NASCAR going to pay for Days of Thunder 2? Because that's presumably how they got this off the ground. I saw an ad for Crypto.com. Do you reckon I should get behind that?
Starting point is 00:55:36 I did see an ad for Crypto.com also. Yeah. Did you like his pure racing moment where everything went racing? I did like that. That's what he was chasing. He became racing. Yeah, he did for a minute, didn't it? He's not going to get that on a beach in a dune, Buggy.
Starting point is 00:55:49 He's not going to become the god of driving. No. Well, he's flattening a seal. And a little thing bouncing up and down on its big oversized tires. I'm the god of driving. I've got pure driving energy. It's not going to happen. It's too late, Brad. You got it Just quit now. Brad you did it already. Also you're blind maybe
Starting point is 00:56:10 Remember they're like, oh happy I bet I'm like, oh you're blind. I don't remember that remember that now that wasn't that he's old That was his old. Yeah, he was like I shouldn't have bought you into this because you had that severe accident where you're completely fucked up Yeah, and he was like had I known about this. I wouldn't have brought you on How did you not know about exactly not tell you about it dude? He was on he fell out of the car He got launched out of it like James Bond's car With the ejector seat not an ejector seat the car just smashed and he fell out of it He fell out of it. Yeah, but also like that didn't seem to really affect Brad Pitt at all Yeah, he seemed it was still the best. Yeah, that's like that didn't seem to really affect Brad Pitt at all. Yeah. He seemed
Starting point is 00:56:45 he was still the best. Yeah, that's true. And we love him for it. Here's some reviews from people from the Planet Broadcasting Great Mates group. Oh yes. Darren says, I got to see this on Monday. If you're looking for pure escapism, go check this one out. Fun, fast, good soundtrack, great score, good vibes. It's funny, all around good summer flick. The only issue I had is that I wish the two main leads had a little bit more time together. Interesting. Yeah, they did have a good dynamic. Yeah. Also, Helen Zimmer score some of the time. Oh, yeah. Some of the time. And some of it just like pop music or whatever.
Starting point is 00:57:10 Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, pop. Exactly. Sometimes just tick, tick, tick, tick, tick. Because the safety first. And sometimes just complete silence. While Brad Pitt's having a pure racing moment. Yeah. Yeah. I see on says. It should have gone pure racing moment. You're in a pure racing moment check about time extended They should have gotten whoever the most famous racing commentator of all time to come in and be like this is a pure race
Starting point is 00:57:36 You Brad Pitt, whoever that me? I'm like, I'm like, you know the the guy the famous, but for racing, what are his name is? Let's get ready to rumble! Or he could have been like, it's me, the SNL announcer. This is a pure racing moment with Darrell Hammond. You know? Et cetera. These are all options that we can all think about.
Starting point is 00:58:00 Sion says, a classic dad movie. I really enjoyed it though. Being an F1 fan, it definitely got a few smiles for me at times and went to cameos It was beautifully shot to a tad long best movie ever. Yeah, it's like an hour about to our 35 Isn't it Danny says I got to watch this for work. I thought it was fine. It was really cliche. Yeah, what do you are? Guy professionally watches movies. I think he might better interest really cliche and predictable far far far too long very cringe your points Feels void of any warmth or soul. It's a very long primer for F1, but it's beautifully shot.
Starting point is 00:58:28 The racing feels real and exciting and easy to follow for a non-fan like me. The crashes are breathtaking. One of the best things I've seen in IMAX. Don't disagree with that. Cameron says, I can't wait for the sequel F2. F-Men United. Pretty fun dad movie, also predictable. Sound design and soundtrack were awesome to see in IMAX and Andre says,
Starting point is 00:58:46 I enjoyed it quite a lot. I'm not huge into F1, not at all really, but it was very fun. Fast, slick, great sound design and cinematography. The characters were also much more rounded than I was expecting. Reminding you of Top Gun Magwreck in many ways, including the story. I don't say that at all. No, that's wrong. Yeah, that's wrong. Cool. All right. Should we move it along? Let's move it along.
Starting point is 00:59:04 What are we going to talk about? What we read. Yeah. And we'll talk about what we're going to read. These, that's wrong. Yeah, that's wrong. Cool. All right. Should we move it along? Let's move it along. What are we going to talk about? What we're reading? Yeah. And we'll talk about what we're going to read. These are perfect for us. These are perfect for us. These are. I'm doing the thing. This is an incredible section of the show. I think so too. So we talk about things we've been watching, reading, doing, playing, running around. What have you been doing? Running around. End of segment. Where have you been running though? I haven't been running. I hope not. I don't run around. I find it's undignified.
Starting point is 00:59:33 No, it's cool. Just running around, running for a thing? You can run. Yeah, heck yeah. Flap your arms. Not like you're flying, but just like you're in a flap, in a panic. Sounds not cool. You don't want to do this? No, because that would be uncool and I'm cool. What are you doing with me? a flap in a panic sounds it sounds not cool don't want to do this no cuz that would be uncool and I'm cool what are you doing with me we'll get a sense of it we're gonna do a flap your arms run club yes okay is that how you run cuz I've never seen you run you've never seen me run yeah dude I'm an incredible runner cuz you have your arm yeah never tell the
Starting point is 00:59:58 time I beat my brother in a running race which brother the one you don't like seems implausible did I ever tell you time? He's got a much longer stride than you. Yeah but I'm fast as shit. Okay. I was. Yeah. Also remember that time I- But then you fell out of your running. You just fell under the road. I did fall out of my shoes, my running shoes. That's right. It was on the news. I'm the only one who remembers it. Dude why was it on the news? Because I filmed it on my phone and I sent it to channel 9. Oh no. And channel 10. What? Yeah that's right. They both remembers it. Dude, why was it on the news? Because I filmed it on my phone and I sent it to Channel 9. Oh no. And Channel 10.
Starting point is 01:00:27 What? Yeah, that's right. They both played it. Yeah, they did. Mal Walden. I wish he didn't. He announced it. Did he?
Starting point is 01:00:35 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I beat that kid in the running race. They put it on the project. Oh, did they? Yeah, yeah. Well, that's finished now. But do you remember when I beat that kid in the running race? I've told that story.
Starting point is 01:00:43 Yes, chance. Yes. I'll tell the story about how I bit my brother at a riding race. I guess. For another time. Oh, is it interesting? Not really. Okay. All right. What are you being watching? Is it Ironheart? It is. I watched the first three episodes of Ironheart. Does it feel like, because I haven't got to it, but I don't know whether I will. Yes. Along with other things I haven't watched, including the Punisher and Daredevil season 3. Yeah. Does it feel like they're dumping this? Because that's what it feels like. Oh, in terms of, because it does it feel like they're dumping this because that's what it feels like Oh in terms of because it's three episodes at a time. Yeah three episodes and then whatever they're doing I'm not really no. No, it just feels like it's three. They're doing three. This is only six
Starting point is 01:01:13 Oh is there yeah, um, then maybe and they film this like a long time in 2014. Yeah, whatever I thought it was just generally a bit of fun. I mean first of all It's a good set up. Here's what I would say. When I watched the first episode for the first few minutes, I was like, have I clicked the wrong episode by mistake? Like, is this episode two? Because it felt like there was some backstory missing. I guess the assumption is you've watched Black Panther 2, which I'm sure most people have. Yeah. But it did feel a little bit kind of with there no recap up top No, there wasn't but it felt a little bit disjointed because it starts out. She is back at MIT
Starting point is 01:01:50 Yeah, and then they just do a sort of quick montage. She is she gets expelled because Riri Williams Yeah, I know she gets expelled because she is she's doing other people's work for them in exchange for money And she's using the money and the resources to rebuild an Ironheart suit. Because they took it off her at the end. Yeah, she's sort of innovating. And then she's like, Oh, well, whatever suckers because I got my Ironman suit, my own heart suit. And then she flies to Chicago where she's going to live.
Starting point is 01:02:18 But then and I think this is quite this is a bit that I enjoyed. She's she's made a mistake in that she's running. She's running the suit off the MIT servers. So she gets expelled mid-flight, and they shut her down. And she sort of crashes into Chicago, and it's kind of like she has to drag the suit behind her in a little trolley kind of thing.
Starting point is 01:02:37 It's sort of this back to basics. I think it's kind of a classic kind of thing. It's kind of like a good setup of she broke. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Kind of thing. It's kind of like, you know, a good setup of like she's back to her hometown. Things have changed. Yeah. You know, she's, um. Alden Einreich is there. Alden Einreich is there.
Starting point is 01:02:52 And he's got a history. I won't spoil her, but I read about that. Yes, that's true. And yeah, she's, you know, she's got a backstory and people, you know, she's sort of, sort of, you know, she's sort of that character of like, she left to do big things and now she's back and people like, what have you been doing? Well, nothing. Your big shotness? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:08 Big timeness? And of course she needs some money to rebuild the suit because that's her goal. She wants to be... Does Iron Man's suit run off a server? Or is it, I don't think it does, does it? Uh, well it takes into space, so I guess not. No, because he uploaded Jarvis into it. Yeah. So that's Operus Independently. And then he uploaded Kerry Condon into it.
Starting point is 01:03:30 Yes. So it's because it also, because originally when he went into space to the Wormhole, it shut down. Remember that? Yes, it did. And then, but I think, but then in Infinity War, when he goes to space, it doesn't. Yeah. So I, assuming it's all like, independent.
Starting point is 01:03:43 Yeah. But, but anyway, so she's she needs some money So she falls into the wrong crowd, you know But the kind of a kind of a Robin Hood crew the crew the crew is yes the hood Yeah, the Anthony Ramos who thing is doing a good job. Yeah and various kind of no good nicks But they've kind of like they're no good Nick. I know that's come on, right? But that's good work Um, oh it works. They're sort of pitched as a kind of You know Robin Hood crew. They're kind of like, they're stealing from all these
Starting point is 01:04:10 oligarchs with a ton of money, and they're kind of blackmailing him and all this sort of stuff. One of them's got kind of a underground electric car, freeway situation, you know that thing, where they could have just made a bus. One of those, and so they blackmail her and et cetera. But then of course she's going over, she's's getting in overhead and of course Anthony Ramos is being
Starting point is 01:04:28 powered by the devil. Actually? Yeah, in real life. There's a minor super villain team in the Marvel universe called the Blood Brothers. And so they're like blood siblings now. Right. Okay. And yeah, there's like, oh, and Eric Andre is in the first episode. Oh, why? He's like the... Is he like an MIT guy? No, he's like the tech guy in the crew that she's replacing. Right, okay. But he's in the first episode. I think it's fun.
Starting point is 01:04:54 Is it Mephisto? What do you mean? The devil. Yeah, he's going to be in it later. Cool. I'm pretty confident anyway. This sounds better than... I was not in a rush to watch this but I might actually check this
Starting point is 01:05:06 out. I would say as well, and we know this, the suit looks way better. Yeah, it did not look good in Black Panther. No, and the suit looks, the slick one. But it also looks way better than any Iron Man stuff in the last. Because it's clankety clankety. Because it's clankety clankety. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:21 It has a bit of an extremist vibe initially but then she kind of loses that because that's the the MIT funded one Okay, I like the design of it as well. Yeah Design because it's got like extender one ball those yeah bits. Yeah. Yeah. Um, what is also? There's a there's an actor in this her name is lyric Ross and she plays She plays Riri's best friend who but she was killed some years ago so you see her in flashback and also other places. Whoa! She's a robot.
Starting point is 01:05:52 She's the AI in the suit. She's the AI in the suit. I mean that's a spoiler for the show but whatever if you were interested and you're probably going to watch it and you're not interested I think people should give it a go but basically Riri is like well I need a new AI in the suit because I can't use the Clippy from MIT or whatever. And she's like, so she decides she's going to build an AI using a scan of her own brain. But because she has such fond memories of her friend, she builds an AI of her friend. I think that's an interesting thing because it's kind of like, it's her, the suit is her
Starting point is 01:06:20 conscience, which I think is fun. How is it her friend's conscience though? It's not really. Yeah, it's her memory of it. Yeah, which I think is fun. How is it a friend's conscience? So it's not really. Yeah, it's her under her memory. Yeah, that's cool. But yeah, I think that's, and as we know, I think that's weird. Yeah, I think that's like weird and like unethical in a way that is interesting. That's true. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But not in real life. But anyway, pretty good. It also follows, I feel like the the Falcon and Winter Soldier route of like, she's not just machine gunning people or whatever.
Starting point is 01:06:49 Like they've kept it kind of to a minimum. I think they've probably made a deliberate idea to be like, well, she's not lasering people. Is Anthony Rammus going to be like, I'm a good guy. He's like, actually I'll kill civilians and whatever for no reason. Or is he just, or is he just powered by the devil? He's. And at least he's not another Iron Man guy.
Starting point is 01:07:05 That's what I'm talking about. He, I think he's, I don't know what his... Like, I don't really know what his ultimately his motive is. But he seems to, he's gone into this with the... He seems like he's gone into this with somewhat noble intentions but he's gotten entangled up with the devil. And he's like, well now, you know,
Starting point is 01:07:23 hope the devil doesn't come and get his due. As devil always does you know hope that doesn't happen hope the one guy this doesn't happen to yeah you probably won't yeah probably not okay cool and what else I watch oh the bear is back also season four of the bear is back Mason I'm watching the barrels I'm watching bear the season three oh I haven't watched it yet you think of the bear season three because it's divisive it's good I think it's good season 3? Because it's divisive. It's good. I don't know what people are talking about. It's good. I don't... and I've heard season 4 is pretty solid as well, or better than 3 people are saying, but I'm surprised. I was expecting it to be a real dip in quality.
Starting point is 01:07:54 Yeah, right. But I don't think it is. Did you finish season 3? I'm four in. Did you get to the episode with... is it Tina? There's an episode where we see her backstory. So Tina is the... yeah So Tina is the line cook. Oh no, I haven't seen that one yet. Because that's the episode directed by Ayo Edebaru.
Starting point is 01:08:11 Oh, okay, cool. And we see her backstory. I thought sort of going into it and seeing more of the backgrounds of these characters. Pretty good. Great. Okay. Yeah, no, I enjoyed it. So I know four is more of a straightforward, like it moves forward in like the way that
Starting point is 01:08:27 season one and two did. Is that? Yeah. I mean, it's all I think, I think the show lost a lot of viewers and praise when it went from like, hey, you know, because the initial premises, of course, he's this fine dining guy who is from Chicago. And he comes back and he has to work in this hole in the wall. I work at this hole in the wall. Exactly got to work in this hole in the wall.
Starting point is 01:08:45 Exactly. And there's a bear in here. Exactly. And now I don't even have any amulets, but then he does. But then- He cooks one. But now that it's more about they're trying to be a fine dining establishment. I think a lot of people are like, well, I'm not interested anymore. It's not as grubby. I think it's grubby. I think it's funny that there's a bunch of grubby people trying to run this kind of restaurant.
Starting point is 01:09:06 That's true. That's what I find. Also, I'm reading. I bought a definitive edition of All Star Superman. Yes. Grant Morrison. Grant Morrison. We're probably going to do it for the Comic Book Club.
Starting point is 01:09:18 Incredible. Looks good. Hardcover copy. Hardcover copy. Well, that's actually too big for my shelf. Did you get it at Minnesota? No, I bought it online. I'm using a telephone. You called somebody up.
Starting point is 01:09:27 I called someone up and said, At Minasaur? Yeah, bring me one. Bring me one. I said, it's too big for my shelf, which is annoying, but it's an incredible book.
Starting point is 01:09:35 And I also like, I've forgotten a lot of this. Like I read it a long time ago. Yeah. And I might try and squeeze in the animated movie. I should get, I mean, I will definitely give it a reread. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:44 Before we review it. Before we read. Yeah, I mean, I will definitely give it a reread before we review it. Before we read, yeah. Yeah, I mean, there's certain episodes you remember. Yeah, there's definitely... Clark Kent visits Lex Luthor in prison. Yeah. There's the Jimmy Olsen issue. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:56 That's the one I'm currently on. The issue where Lois Lane gets superpowers, etc. Yeah, they're good. It's really good. And just like watching and like listening to Grand Morrison interviews like about that. And it's just it's fascinating. It's just it's the kind of comic that there's a lot of Superman, the new movie in it as well.
Starting point is 01:10:17 Yes, absolutely. Fortress of Solitude robots and other things that like that is lifted straight from this. It's interesting you got the big hardcover edition because I think also now you can get it in compact. Yeah, you get the little one. Yeah, I thought about it, but I was like, God, what if I got a really big one? Yeah, that's interesting you got the big hardcover edition because I think also now you can get it in compact. Yeah, you get the little one Yeah, I thought about it, but I was like god. What if I got a really big one? Yeah, that's right. You should get the little one for your son. I should actually get them together. Yeah I should like I got a big hardcover cover. That'd be fun, right? Are you still reading the little one? Still reading the little one? That's hilarious. The little comic for little boys. Tiny little font. I'm also watching the Bear season 3. You mentioned that.
Starting point is 01:10:43 Mason it's time to move it along Do you have an idea? I think it's time to dwell on the fact that you're losing your frickin marbles dude I don't lose it. I use it now if you can move it along that would be great Okay, right you got me you got me with a with a Rhyming I wasn't going anywhere with that, but it came together. I think was perfect. Thanks Let's do that. Nobody's nerfect. Wow. Because you have dementia. I do. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:07 Let's play the song. It's time for Letters. I watched the best season. Oh sorry. Letters, oh letters, we love you. Some letters, they're only a day away. We know they're here right now, we're going to do letters. Here's something good for what, Alzia.
Starting point is 01:11:23 Uh oh. It's the letter segment of the podcast where yes We're very much interested in you writing us a letter You could send one to Nick Mason at weekly planet pot at gmail.com and you're keeping a brief keeping it tight It's having a good time or you know keep those briefs tight. That's right. That's what we always say here Yep Hashtag keep those briefs tight or just go to weekly I'll go to the planet broadcasting great mates group and there's a thread in there every week
Starting point is 01:11:46 That's right and tell us all your things Do you want to start or do you want me to start? You can do it. Great Mason this is from Cameron Sullivan Who says after watching a movie based on a book most people will say have you read the book? It's so much better. I've ever want to know if there any movies that are better than the original book They're based on for me. Yeah, well I read that one down. For you specifically, because I haven't read the book. For me it's DiCaprio and Maguire's In the Great Gatsby. I haven't read The Great Gatsby or seen the movie. I like the movie.
Starting point is 01:12:13 I can't tell you. But I also like the book. Well, I don't know if I've read this. Yes. Fight Club? I don't know. I feel like I have read it, but I don't remember. I read the- there was this Fight Club 2 comic which I read.
Starting point is 01:12:24 There was, that's right. But I think the movie has got a better ending as well. Yeah. From... Well, I mean, we shan't be spoiling it. Let's not spoil that movie. I remember enjoying Fight Club, the book. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:37 But I've seen the movie first, so I don't know. Yeah. American Psycho, you said, is a very dull book. It's very dull by design. Yeah. It's just endless lists of him It's it's the I would definitely talk about this podcast But it's it's like, you know in the opening sequence of the movie where he's describing his daily routine and it's very very complicated Hmm, that's basically it every chapter and then he murders someone and then he meets Tom Cruise
Starting point is 01:12:59 Oh, yeah, yes, and then yeah, and then the killings are very they're not funny. They're just strange and brutal Yeah thing, you know, it was the first it was the first they're not funny, they're just strange and brutal kind of thing, you know. It was the first book I'd ever seen that was wrapped in plastic. The first paperback book I'd... yeah. Interesting. Very rude stuff. Oh, we haven't talked about this, but apparently the movie... the first trailer for Project Hail Mary is coming out soon. It is.
Starting point is 01:13:20 Have you read that book? I've read the book. So my... It'll be out by the time this gets out. Without spoiling anything, apparently there's a twist in that book and some people are saying who have read the book are like, well, they're going to use that to advertise the movie. Like that, without saying what it is. Yeah, I'm not gonna. Would you say, because I haven't read the book, but it's on my, I should buy a copy and read it before that happens. Would you recommend that? Yeah. I would say, it's Andy Weir? Yes.
Starting point is 01:13:50 The Martian? It is, yeah. I would say, being a teaser, if it's a teaser you'll get like a hint at it. Okay. But when it comes time for the full trailer, is this a twist that they'll be like? It's pretty bizarre. Okay. So I don't know whether they'd want to sell the movie on it. But they will.
Starting point is 01:14:06 But they might. They sold a movie on Red Hulk, didn't they? There's also a recent sci-fi movie which has a very similar premise. I won't spoil it here. But it seemed, yeah, I won't. Okay, I should probably get it and read it this week. Yeah. Here's an email from him.
Starting point is 01:14:20 Wait, wait, wait, I've got some other examples. Alright, alright. I started Blade Runner, the book. So when you say Blade Runner, you mean Do Androids Dream of Electric Shapes? Yes, very different. It's very different, isn't it? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:30 I think I find Lord of the Rings, the movie's more palatable. The Hobbit book is way better than the Hobbit movies. I would say Jurassic Park, the movie is better than the book. Did you know when they were gonna adapt Do Androids Dream of Electric Shape into Blade Runner? One of the titles they considered originally was Dangerous Days. That's fun.
Starting point is 01:14:47 Which reminds me of Australian radio personality Dangerous Dave. Dangerous Dave, yeah. That's right. How dangerous was he? So dangerous, he's in prison. Is he? But dangerous radioing. I didn't know he did that.
Starting point is 01:14:57 Yeah. Did he kill Ugly Phil? Yeah, he killed Ugly Phil. Did he kill Spoon Man? He killed the Spoon Man with a spoon. Whoa. Yeah. Yeah. Dangerous high name, Dangerous Spideon. He killed ugly Phil. He killed spoon man? He killed the spoon man with a spoon. Whoa. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:07 Yeah. Dangerous high name, dangerous spidey. And he killed Reese with a spoon. What? With what? With a knife, dude. That's why you haven't seen her in a while. She's dead.
Starting point is 01:15:16 I hope she's alright. She's not. She was killed by dangerous Dave. God bless her. I hope she's okay. What are we talking about? I've lost the thread entirely. You had a letter.
Starting point is 01:15:24 Oh, Blade Runner. Yeah, no, Blade Runner the movie is better. Um, And Blade Runner 2049 is even better than that again. I agree. Um, yeah, I mean, I mean, Do Andrew's Dream of Electric Treeby is mostly about artificial animals. Yeah, it is. Yeah. Yeah. All right, Mason, what's your next letter? Oh, this is from Aaron. Aaron Eckhart. Yep. Hey James and Maceau, I'm famously hard to work with.
Starting point is 01:15:45 I'm Aaron Eckhart. Hey. But also the Golden Globes are introducing a best podcast category and I have to know what your speech will be when you win. Love your work, Aaron. Here's the real winner, Conan O'Brien. It will be the...
Starting point is 01:15:56 Yeah, we're not even engaging in any of this. I would love to win. Oh, you would? I'd love to win an award. Okay, can we bribe the Golden Globes judges? Probably. Who are all very easily bribe the Golden Globes judges? Probably. Who are all very easily bribeable European press members or something? And we don't have to schmooze.
Starting point is 01:16:10 How's your schmoozing? Good. My schmoozing is not great. Schmoozing is good if we've got access to free booze. Yeah. We could threaten people as well. If you schmooze your booze, that's what they say. If you schmooze your booze.
Starting point is 01:16:19 I don't know, man. I mean, I know this is a joke. Yes. He doesn't really think I'll win. But we're so far out of, I know this is a joke. Yes. He doesn't really think of it. But we're so far out of the running for this. Absolutely. Well, first of all, I think they're only including video.
Starting point is 01:16:32 You have to have a video podcast, which is against the spirit of podcasting in my opinion. Agreed. It's just a video. Yeah, that's a video. That's a video. What they want to do is they get, it should be the award for best video
Starting point is 01:16:43 with celebrities in it. Yeah, what do you have those videos where like, oh, what's in my fucking bag? I can't get out of anywhere with this eye cream. Oh, I love this fucking drink. Great, man. That's not a podcast. No, that was a clip from the-
Starting point is 01:16:57 I don't think they're calling it a podcast. That was Dua Lipa, by the way. She's like, I can't go anywhere with this freaking bag. Look at this eye cream. I got a picture of Trevor Noah in my wallet. Do they date? I can't remember. No. Don't they? I think she is engaged to one of those tall actors, not Harris Dickinson.
Starting point is 01:17:17 I bet I can do this. OK. He's tall and I bet he's been in a World War Two thing. Callum Turner. Really? I think they're engaged. They were seen on a date in September of 2022. This is Trevor Noah and her. Oh, Trevor Noah. But they were not in a relationship at the time.
Starting point is 01:17:32 Okay, but what about Callum Turner? I don't know anything about him. Okay, that's great. That's actually great. I think he was, is he in Masters of the Air? Callum Turner? I hardly know her. Nice.
Starting point is 01:17:42 Yeah. Look at Callum Turner in my freaking bag. Get out of my bag. I'm Callum Turner. Oh yeah, he's from 1929 or whatever. Yeah. Look at Callum Turner in my freaking bag. Get out of my bag. I'm Callum Turner. Oh yeah, he's from 1929 or whatever. Yeah, he's in one of those. Not in 19. He was Fantastic Beasts brother.
Starting point is 01:17:52 He was, that's true. More charismatic beast. I'm Fantastic Beasts brother. He's too weird. He's governor. Mason, what do you got? I just did one. What have I got?
Starting point is 01:18:00 I did the one that led to an incredible impression of pop star Dua Lipa. All right. It's also inspired me to read this next letter from Steve. He said, if there was one surprise superhero cameo in Superman, who would you want it to be? He said, I vote for Alan Tudyk as Dr. Phosphorus. Alan Tudyk is in it as well. He's a robot. He is a robot. That's true. He's a four. What would you want? Batman? He is a robot. That's true. Four.
Starting point is 01:18:23 What would you want? Batman? Ooh, I mean Batman ideally. But that's because I just want to be like, I want to see what the new Batman looks like. It doesn't even have to be the actor. I just want to see, give me face in shadow. Give me the look of the new Batsuit. It doesn't bother me who's in it yet.
Starting point is 01:18:41 They don't even have to do that. Now that would make a good DioLepa song. And also... Face in shadow, Batman suit. That's right. That is what all her songs sound like. Yes. She went out with Trevor Noah. Go on then. That's right. So what's a what would be a bigger, better cameo?
Starting point is 01:18:58 Like maybe some I'm trying to think of like maybe a cosmic guy or... Do you want like a like, oh oh this is the hint of dark side or whatever I've seen that plenty I mean they're probably gonna do it but I would like to see Supergirl like the Supergirl oh for sure yeah that would be fun she has to come and collect the dog at some point I hope yeah that's what the way they're going with it um yeah Lobo yeah well that mean he's gonna be in Supergirl be good yeah I saw there was a criticism of like there's a lot of characters in this and James Gunn's like there's a lot of characters in this and James Gunn's
Starting point is 01:19:25 like, there's a lot of characters in Oppenheimer. And there was, there were too many. That's true. No, I'm not worried about too many characters in this. But James, they are different movies. Yeah. That's not good or bad. It could be like a lot of movies have different characters.
Starting point is 01:19:36 It's fine. Yeah. Yeah. Is he suggesting Oppenheimer will be in this? Yes. Wow. I don't know. I just like, I would like to see Superman, in all honesty.
Starting point is 01:19:44 Yeah, me too. That's my main thing that I want to say. Wow. I don't know. I just like, I would like to see Superman in all honesty. Yeah, me too. That's my main thing that I want to see. Yeah. Yeah. Because like, I'd be like, wow, what a, like, Jim, I really want to see Jimmy Olsen, but he's in this movie. It'd be cool if it was just like Nightwings here. Just something like that, you know?
Starting point is 01:19:56 Yes. That would be cool. Yeah. Presumably we're at Nightwing at this point. Well, no, maybe not. No, we would be because Brave and the Bold. Yeah. Remember, Brave and the Bold is supposed to be Damien Wayne.
Starting point is 01:20:06 So we've had all the previous ones. Oh, okay. There you go. Great. Good stuff. Mason, what's next? Oh, here's another email. All right.
Starting point is 01:20:14 Yeah, it's Batman. Batman. So basically. Because like who else in Batman's, who else in Superman's like world is...od? No, see a lot of Zod. Yeah, I reckon maybe I would like to see maybe some other members of the authority. Okay, yeah. The engineer. Yeah. And Hawkeye who I think is going to be in the authority in the place of whoever that hawk other hawk lady is in the authority. Hawke lady. I also think outside chance that the person in the place of whoever that hawk other hawk lady is in the authority Hawk lady. I also think outside chance that the person in the Ultraman suit is Apollo who is the Superman version in the authority. There's a lot of rumors. There is a lot of speculation but I don't read any of them so I genuinely have no idea. There's my outside chance. Cool. Here's an email from Turner. Turner and Hooch.
Starting point is 01:21:04 Who says best disease for content. Oh okay. G'day Here's an email from Turner. Turner and Hooch. Who says best disease for content. Oh, okay. G'day boys. G'day Turner. I've been listening to the pod weekly for a few years now and it's simply been the best choice I've ever made in my life ever. I learned about you fellas when my old roommate got a gnarly case of vertigo.
Starting point is 01:21:17 Whoa. And in order to cope, he binged half the caravan of garbage catalogue while laying on his back for three days. He claimed that two Australian men he didn't know and sometimes didn't understand were the only thing that kept him sane. My question for you is then, what is the best non-life-threatening disease or medical condition to have in order to fully enjoy your content? I got vertigo when I was a kid.
Starting point is 01:21:34 Yeah? Yeah. I got elevation. I was like, whoa. By you too. Sorry, gone. That's different. That's all I have.
Starting point is 01:21:42 Yeah. Yeah. How did you get it? Just because it can just come on? Just come on. It's like an in-area thing? Yeah, some kids just get it? Did you just because it can just come on just come on you like an inner ear thing Yeah, some kids just get it. I had a fling a year. Holy shit I was like now how are we? like Seven but you have to like lie down when it happened or I ended up on the ground Yeah, like you fell as in like so you mean or you just slowly like crumple. Yeah, I slowly crumple Yeah, I'm a crumpler Jesus. Yeah, that's scary stuff. I was your parents like get over it. Yeah, they were yeah
Starting point is 01:22:04 Yeah, yeah, if Brad Pitt can do it, you can do it He was on the ground. He got himself up. He did it. That's true. Yeah. Um, oh so like you want to be laid out I reckon like conjunctivitis is a good one poo in the ice. No, that's um, you're thinking pink eye That's the same thing conjunctivitis is like it's not poo in the eye. I think it is. It's absolutely not. Let's look It's an eye infection. Yeah, but how do you get infected? Like you produce more like that sleep. I don't know you get it. Kissing a dog? I don't know. And well conjunctivitis is inflammation or infection of the outer membrane of the eyeball and the inner eyelid. Conjunctivitis or pink eye. What? Is an
Starting point is 01:22:37 irritation or inflammation conjunctiva which covers the white part of the eyeball can be caused by allergies or a bacterial or viral infection Okay, fine. They are the same thing. I guess according to Google AI That's what you want you want poop in the eye. Yeah, it's not poop in the eye You can just get it from an infection from the Mayo Clinic. Yeah, they have the best Mayo at the supermarket, dude I don't mean like Mayo should why it's good average at best Wow Yeah, well, even if you probably been taking the worst mayo off the shelf because you have poo in your eyes. I Don't and it's the best disease to get what do you think's the best disease to get watch caravan of garbage with poo in your
Starting point is 01:23:15 Eyes, I'm not I don't have to watch you. I'm fucking in them Yeah, I don't know I've always let you know I've always been like nothing painful. Yeah, no, no like headache or nausea Yeah, see I've always been like well if I broke my leg I could catch up on every piece of media that I have Yeah, but you'd have a broken leg and I want a broken leg and then you got a rehab it like that's not a good one Yeah, yeah, that's true fear of the dark. Oh So you have to have a screen going that's true yeah yeah yeah yeah or poop eye whatever you said you wanted i don't want that you said i'm poop eye the sailor man i don't want that based on your experience of having it
Starting point is 01:23:57 and currently having it would you say is bad but worth it is what you've said because you've got to put poop in your eye. That was free, too Did you know that? Yeah, what's there? Well, that was my email, okay. Oh, yeah What am I doing? I don't know Daniel who says what podcasts that you've guested on Do you think would be most qualified to step in and host if you if you had to? What would you think you'd be most qualified to step in and host if you had to? We're stepping in?
Starting point is 01:24:25 Yeah. Somebody else's podcast. I could do Plumbing the Death Star. Oh yeah. I have. Interesting. But on my own, I guess. Not on my own.
Starting point is 01:24:33 I need other people. Just you reading out a thing and then going, wow. It wouldn't be as good, but you know, we did some live ones. Yeah. And I know those guys. I got a rough idea of the format. Oh yeah, nice. I could probably figure it out.
Starting point is 01:24:43 They're good at tangent style and like taking something. That's true. Look, I haven't been on. I need the format. They're good at tangent style and like taking something. I need the structure. I haven't been on, but he is wrapping it up so I reckon I could just do WTF with Mark Maron. Yeah, you reckon? You could interview Obama. Absolutely. Why'd you do that? Why'd you do your crimes? Why'd you do them? Why'd you do all those war crimes? Because you're a bad guy? Yes. And to be clear, you're all bad guys. Yeah, I'm just You're not special. You're not but exactly bad as anyone. That's right I could you do do go on and then BAM. Mmm, I put my pants why Because of the coffee or whatever do don't do it

Starting point is 01:25:31 Easily. All right. I mean, you have. That's the idea of Do Go On. Often you'll go on and you'll do the topic. Oh, I see. Right. I see what you're saying.
Starting point is 01:25:39 But like, you're stepping in, they're all gone and you can bring someone with you. Bring me. Okay. Yeah. James, we'll do it. All right. Okay, great. We could easily do it. Anything else we could do? We could do Joe Rogan. Definitely. Because it's just a guy comes in and he's like, did you know they're a hollow earth?
Starting point is 01:25:48 Yeah. And we can go, yeah, man, that's actually really interesting. Do you know the moon's made of dinosaurs? Is it? Maybe it is. Maybe it is. I got one more email, James.
Starting point is 01:25:59 Yeah, well, I'm ready. They've said don't work. This person has said, don't say my name. I work for the federal government. OK. So meaningless detail that takes you out of a movie or show. Hey, fellas. Greetings from the United States.
Starting point is 01:26:13 I've been a huge fan since 2015. I wanted to ask you what tiny meaningless detail almost takes you out of a movie or TV show. Recently, for me, in 28 years later, Spike had a Power Rangers Operation Overdrive action figure. That series came out in 2007, but the infection happened in 2002. Yeah, that's wrong.
Starting point is 01:26:29 It bothered me throughout the entire movie. I raved about it to my wife and six month old daughter all weekend. I still enjoyed the movie though. Let me know what you guys think. I guess... There was a... Captain Marvel did something like that with like a My Little Pony and whatever. It does happen.
Starting point is 01:26:43 I mean, maybe this washed up on a beach. Yeah. Because America is still going in the 28 years later. That's true exactly. That's we're going to no prize our way out of this. Wait, was that at the very, that wasn't at the very start though was it? It was in his room at the start I think. Oh at the, in the future is what you're saying.
Starting point is 01:27:01 Oh you know Spike has it. So it's in, not at the very start, not with the little kids at the start. No, it's in Spike's room before he goes out on his adventure. He decides to leave it behind. Yeah, that could have washed up. Yeah, yeah. No, I understand that. I see what you're saying.
Starting point is 01:27:18 Like those Garfield telephones. Garfield telephones. I don't know, man. That stuff does. I can't think of an actual example, but yeah, I have experienced that before But for what I cannot say. Yeah You would have thought if you read this out you would have had an answer, you know Not from when I bring questions, I know I know the response. I'm ready with a pithy

God, I can't wait. I need two either. Did you wrap up the show? Maybe. Let me think. You know what takes me out? Go on. Bad photoshops of like people when they're young. Yeah, okay, right. There was one in F1 with Javier Bardem and Brad Pitt, and the Brad Pitt looks pretty good,
Starting point is 01:28:13 but the Javier Bardem doesn't look like it's quite there. And you see Brad Pitt kind of live action in the past, and he's got kind of his... He's got a wig. His hair wig, yeah, going on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he's sort of de-aged weirdly. on yeah yeah yeah sort of the aged weirdly and yeah good one so that one I don't I immediately is like that's a Photoshop I
