The weekly planet, the weekly planet Welcome back everybody to another episode of The Weekly Planet Where we talk movies and comics and TV and TV shows My name is James, also known as Mr. Sunday And with me as always, Nick Mason. I'm always, I'm incredibly jealous of. Thanks, man. I just, I'm furious.

Why are you furious, how do you do it? And why can't I do it? I just, why won't you let me? I mean, the word I'm looking for is effortlessly. I just do it effortlessly, you know? But I'm also being effortless. Even saying the word effortlessly is effortless for me. Yeah.

But I'm like to think I'm not putting in any effort either. I can see the veins like pulsing in your neck and head region. Yeah, effortlessly. No. No. No, you're going to, your head's going to burst. Too much blood? Your head's going to get bigger than it already is.

It's pretty big already. And then it's going to burst. Yeah. Is it too much blood, though? Is that what's going on here? If I had less blood. I think if you had less blood, that would do it, yeah. Interesting.

Maybe you want to engage in some bloodletting of some sort. Interesting. Yeah. Okay, cool. Got to one of those weird clinics. Yeah. You know? Put an IV in and then they take all your blood out.

Not all your blood, enough of your blood. It'd take all of it, I don't mind. If that's what it takes to be effortless. Sometimes it does. I got zero blood. I'm all energy drink. Did you know that? Yeah, I had all my blood replaced with energy drink.

So I guess, but in an effortless way. Yeah, yeah, it wasn't like, didn't cost you anything. No, it was just over a span of years. My body stopped producing blood. You didn't even notice. I didn't even notice, no. Great. Mason, there's something this week that's big.

happened last week, I guess, that you probably did notice. Oh yes. The big news of the week. Big news. We're going to do some stranger things, whatever. We'll touch one on it a little bit, but who cares? Big movie news. There's bigger Netflix News, Mason, because of course, Warner Brothers has been purchased by Netflix.

Well, well, well, well, probably. At this point. Yeah. I mean, you know, unless, you know, some government regulators step in. I mean, they might He might, but not for the reasons that, like, not for good reasons. Not for essential legal reasons, but maybe pettiness.

Pettiness, exactly. Petitness might put a fly in assignment. If you do want to jump to that, there's time codes below. Rob Collings, who edits this, makes that happen. If that's what you're interested in, because we're just going to break all of that down. There's a lot of information to kind of to pass through. I just switched the backup recorder on. Thank God.

Effortlessly. I didn't even notice you do it. That's right. Yeah. But in the lead up to that, of course, we've got some news. News. We're going to talk about Tarantino's latest outbursts.

Here we bloody go. We must have a movie or two out or something. He does. He does, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Better stir the pot. I'm going to talk some Spider-Man Noir news, some Men in Black news.

Men in Black News. Trailers for 28 years later, the Bone Temple. I'd better watch that. I haven't watched it yet. I'll figure that out. Ready or not, here I come. And the boys' season finale trailer. We've got some Star Wars news

with a big re-release and then Netflix. etc yeah netflix yeah uh let's start where we always start with the first bit of news uh which is spotify and youtube wrapped came out sometimes we don't start i mean this is a little behind a curtain yeah but sometimes we start with the second bit of news no we don't go listen back folks see if you can see if you can this is i didn't even mention this but yeah spotify and youtube wrapped all came out okay and so many people have just been sending a screenshots of being like i listen to too much of you and we appreciate we do we absolutely do so uh some people in like the top point one percent of listeners or something can't all be like that though can

you no that would make any sense that's not our statistics and that'd be crazy even if everybody watched like 5,000 videos a year yeah it'd still have to be a top 1% guy absolutely that would be exactly so yeah that's really nice i mean you know corporations yeah obviously yeah goes without saying that's exactly we don't support them no sometimes we do ads for them yeah but that's where they give us money that which is okay we're not a corporation we're not a corporation we're a mom and pop That's right. Your mom and on pop. That's right.

So, anyway, it's just nice. Yeah. It's nice. So we appreciate that. We appreciate it. It's just not, I mean, not so much, you know, corporations. No, I mean, no, but we're not that. We're not that, but the fact that people took the time for the same.

We're freedom fighters fighting against corporations. That's right. And sometimes we do ads for them. Yeah. But that's all right. Yeah. In a freedom fighting way. That's right.

Exactly. We're going to use that money against them. We're doing it ironically also. Yeah. By purchasing their products. That's right. Ironically, mom and pop. Yes.

In other news, Mason, the Brett East and Alice podcast had an episode again, or it's the same episode, I don't know. I think it, you know what? I don't know. I don't listen to it. I just listen to these clips where Tarantino, Quentin Tarantino, was speaking to the cattiest man in Hollywood. Not a mirror. Not a mirror. Yes.

Brett East and Alice, who of course wrote American Psycho. And other things. And other things. But nobody likes. Okay. Yeah. I haven't read any of his stuff. But anyway, they're talking about Tarantino's 20 favorite films of the 21st century.

Wild list. Yeah. And in fifth place, he put there will be blood. And that's an incredible movie. I don't think it can be disputed. Undeniably, sure. But he said it would be, it would have been his first or second pick if it didn't have a big giant floor in it and that floor is Paul Dano. I thought it was the bloody floor within the bowling alley.

Might be actually, yeah. I don't think that's what he meant. Okay. He is weak source. man, he's the weak sister. He's just such a weak, weak, weak, un-interested. He's the weak sister. Is that what he's saying? He's the weak sister. I guess. Okay. He's just such a weak, weak, weak, uninteresting guy. Daniel Day-Lewis shows that he doesn't need a strong foil. The movie needs it. He doesn't need anything. It's supposed to be a two-hander, and it's not. You put him

with the weakest fucking actor in SAG, the limpest dick in the world. Damn. What a bizarre thing to say. Yeah. I think this is a personal beef issue. I mean, I have no evidence of that. There's been speculation that he was supposed to be in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Right. There's like an anonymous Reddit story from like years ago where Dano dropped out.

Oh, I see. I mean that doesn't mean anything. Right. But I think there must be something else here, right? I don't know, man. Yeah. I mean, he does have weird personal beefs for no reason. He hates Bruce Lee, wrote a character in a movie

who's tougher than Bruce Lee. Yeah, yeah, exactly, yeah. To be like, Bruce Lee wasn't so good. And I invented a guy that could beat up Bruce Lee. Paul Dano is also married to Zoe Kazan, and her grandfather was like a famous movie producer. Oh, okay. From like the, I want to say, like the 40s maybe. Right, okay.

And I'm like, I wonder if that's, he's like, I wish I was married to her because then my grandfather, my, then I'd be Hollywood. Yeah, I don't know, man. It's strange. It's also, like, I understand that also people have. personal preferences. You know, there's actors that we like and don't like for various reasons. Yeah. But it just seems also, like he's, a lot of people also

came out in his defense. Matt Reeves, of course he was in the Batman a few years ago, he was a middler. Matt Reeves just said on Twitter, Paul Dano is an incredible actor and an incredible person. And I think also like to look at that movie and go, he's bad. It's just not. It's not true. I think the point of like, because he

plays a kind of, he plays like the town preacher. Yeah, we plays two characters technically, I think they're supposed to be. But I kind of feel like the point of the point of his character is that he, in the role of a preacher, he's supposed to be like a charismatic person who, you know, tells the townsfolk what to do and how to live and that sort of stuff. But then he's sort of, but then the premise is that Daniel Day Lewis's character just sort of just storms in and just overwhelms him because he's like naturally the more powerful

being. Yeah. Whereas this guy has to work really hard at it. And that, to me, that, I don't know. Who did, is it something to do with once upon a time in Hollywood lost, lost an award maybe or something? Yeah, maybe. I don't know, man.

Bizarre. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Truly bizarre. And I just think of all the actors and all the performances you could, you would pick, you choose that one. It does seem really spiteful. Yeah, I don't know. Anyway, strange.

You know what it was also strange? What's that? Is that, so here's the list. This is his top 20 movies of the 21st century. Let's go. From 20 to 1. West Side Story, Cabin Fever, Moneyball, Chocolate, not Chocolat. Chocolate.

Chocolate. It's like a Thai action movie. Shut up. Ah, yeah. The Devil's Rejects, The Passion of the Christ, School of Rock, Jackass the Movie, Big Bad Wolves. I don't know what that one is. Battle Royale, Midnight in Paris, Sean of the Dead, Mad Max Fury Road, Unstoppable, Zodiac. There Will Be Blood, Dunkirk, Lost in Translation.

Toy Story. Unstoppable, the train one. I don't think so. Oh no, Unstoppable. It's got Don Lee in it. It's like Korean. Oh, okay. That makes more so.

Because there's a 2010 action train movie with Kiss By and Denton, Washington. Well, this is also 2010. Oh, maybe it is. I don't think it is. I think there's a, hang on. It's a 2018 Korean movie called Unstop. Oh, then I don't know what he's to.

Okay. Maybe you liked that train movie. I watched that movie. It was all right. Maybe there's a typo in this. Yeah. Yeah, somebody said Unstoppable 2010. I don't think it's that.

I think it's the Don Lee one. But the thing about this, the thing about this list is, I've seen most of them. Oh, you were thinking, you wanted more deep cut. Well, it's not that I want,

would want deep cuts. I think it's weird that if you'd said to me a week ago, what do you think is on Quentin Tarantino's list of the top 20 films of the 21st century? I'd be like, I don't know. Probably unstoppable 2010. I've probably never heard of them.

Yeah. You're saying he's basic. I'm saying he's basic and he's washed. That's what I'm saying. How do you think he's going on his last movie? How do you think that's going for him? It does say Unstoppable 2010, directed by Tony Scott. That's what people are saying.

All right. That's got... Danza Washington, Chris Pine. That's not a bad movie. All right, then, great. I remember liking it. Okay, then, great. It's probably one of my top 20 movies of whatever.

But you're washed. And chopped and unc. Yeah. And bustin? No, you're busted. Oh, no. Oh, no. Anyway, there you go.

See what he says next week. I don't know if he's got a movie out anymore next week, so probably not. No, well, he's got, so it's the... It's the Kill Bill combined. Yeah. Which I think he's maybe doing, so he's got another movie up his sleeve. Yeah, man. Because if he counts Kill Bill and one to...

Oh, they count as one. Oh, they count as one. Okay, then I don't know, man. He could make a streaming series or whatever. There's many ways around what the arbitrary number of people. But as long as he's having a meltdown, that's fine with me. Made some good movies, though. Completely. I don't think anybody's...

doubting that. No. Yeah. Anyways, Mason, Spider-Man. Yes. Noir has a poster. It's got two posters, James.

Yes, it does. Why would they even put two posters out? Because ones in black and white and ones in color. How'd they do that? I don't know. And that's because that's your option apparently for watching Spider-N-Wile the TV series. The Twee-V series, that's right. You can watch it in black and white or you can watch it in color.

Yeah. Just change the settings on your TV. Do that easily. Yeah. They should do, if you attempt to watch the black and white version, Nicholas Cage to come out and show you

how to change the settings on the TV. Hi! Yep. And so on. Yeah, yeah. Big hands.

I'm doing the big hands. Yeah. Do you think this is because Sony we're like, we don't know if people are going to watch black and white.

Yeah, probably. But also, isn't this black and white? Seems like the whole thing is black and white. We'll do both. I mean, wouldn't it be maybe

I mean, whatever, great. I'd probably watch it in black and white, I guess. I don't know. But couldn't you, wouldn't they also,

They could work that into the actual show where when he becomes Spider-Man, it becomes a black and white world. Oh, potentially. I don't know. Also, you know, my understanding is that when stuff is filmed for black and white, different.

The costuming is different. Yeah. The colours and things. Certain shades don't pop properly and whatever. Yeah, but I mean, I'm looking at some behind the scenes stills from this show and it's just wearing a regular, just regular clothes.

That's Spider-Man. I, yep. That's Spider-Man for you. I mean, if I had to guess, I would say that it's going to look good in black and white because it's been filmed for black and white. And if you watch it in colour, you're going to be like... Look like technicolor.

No, it's going to look like... Washed. Washed. Washed, exactly, washed out. What's interesting, though, to me so much, is that it's Ben Riley private investigator. That's what people are saying. Because, of course, the original Spider-Man noir, he is a Peterlin.

Sorry, the dog's in here doing a big sneeze cough. Yeah, sneeze cough, maybe a von. Let's see. I know, she's doing all right. Hey, hello, hey-oh. It's dog time, everyone. Quite lively today. Oh, yeah.

Got a bit of sun. And I fed us some pie. But yeah, so because traditionally he's Peter Parker. In the Spider-Vus movies he's Peter Parker. He's a Peter Parker. Which means this isn't that version. Correct. Well, me, none of those guys are the official version.

No, well, I guess neither is this one. Neither is this one. Yeah. None of them are real. No. The tagline is the city needs a hero. Hopefully they find someone. This is on their Twitter account.

And that's a quote from Ben Riley. They find someone, I don't know. They find someone, I don't know. Who have you got? Spider-Man noir, live-action series dying, Nicholas Cage, arrived 2026 in both black and one color. Here's a synopsis. Oh, yes.

The series tells the story of an aging and down in his, like, private investigator, Cage, in 1930s, New York, who was forced to grapple with his past life as the city's one and only superhero. So I guess it's also one of those universes, like the Rame universe, where there's just one. Just him, yeah. I'm excited for this. I think this is going to be great.

I hope. Yeah. I mean, it looks better than all the other Spider-Man spin-offs which they've done, and they're all... I'm looking forward to this. Terrible. This is cool. But again, I was going to say, can they not...

Have they made the decision to make him not Peter Parker? Or are they not allowed to? I'm curious. I guess we won't know. That's interesting. We'll know in a few years, I suppose. Absolutely. Someone will tell us.

Yeah. So, I don't know. There you go. We'll see. We'll see. We'll see. In more Sony news, because we don't want to leave Sony out. It's good to bring Sony into the fold and do some promo forum for free.

Oh, yes. Absolutely. Deadline is saying They're a real mom and pop operation. That's right. We were like... Momentoperation. Deadline is saying

that Sony is bringing back the Men in Black franchise. There's already been four movies in an animated TV show and a Malibu Comics. Yes, and I would say is that so it's one, it's one incredible movie and like four attempts.

Yeah. The animated show is good. And three attempts. Because there's one and then there's three. There's been too many attempts. I think they get, like the first one's incredible. Yeah, great. And then they just, and then they go in, like, of how good they are

as the order that they come out in. Yes, exactly. That last one, my God. My God, Mason. And you know why it is? Because the first one has the magic of Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. It's got a great script. Barry Levison direct that?

Maybe. I think you do. Maybe. But you need that combo. Yeah. So is Will, but my guess here is Will Smith is coming back, but Tommy Lee Jones is not coming back. Barry Sonafield, sorry? Yeah.

What is wrong with me? Who's Barry Levinson? No, he directed Rain Man. Oh, that makes sense too. Yeah. They should get him to do this. Can we confirm that? That's right.

He directed Alto Knights because I've been doing the bombs list. I'm like, why is that name in my head? Barry Levinson directed the Alto Knights. Did he direct Rayman? Yes, he did actually, yeah. So, yeah, Will Smith will most likely be involved. Have we told this story before? What's that?

But he Barry Levinson directed Rain Man and then he directed Avalon, which is like a movie about immigrants. The Avalon Air Show. Yes, exactly. In Melbourne. Incredible. Have you ever been? Oh, like years and years.

Yeah, same. Don't care for it. I think it's cool to sell. No. And you can get a fairy floss. Get a fairy floss anyway. No, you can't. No, you can't.

Anyway, but he directed Avalon, which is a very personal story to him. Yeah. And then they got, the studio got feedback from test audiences, and they're like, well, you've got to change everything because the test audiences don't like it. And then he showed them like an audience feedback from a test screening of Rain Man. And one of them said, why doesn't he just snap out of it? And they're like, all right. What did they think he was doing?

I don't know, man. Don't think he was in a coma or something? I don't know. But I think they were like, okay, you can't necessarily trust audiences. Yeah. Does Avalon a good movie? Ah, that's all right. That's all right.

Maybe they should have listened to it. I wish he'd just snapped out of it. I was got 86% on Ron Tomato, so what does that say, you know? Yeah, exactly. What does that say about it? So Bad Boys for Life Rider, Chris Bremner is on board to write the script. Apparently that last bad boys people thought was alright or whatever. I didn't see it. I didn't see the last two.

Okay. Because they've made two more. I watch bad boys. I watch bad boys two. I watch Bad boys three life. And then I didn't watch the fourth. Bad boys' life. Yeah. Who's hoping for a new Will Smith rap? Who's hoping for that? Who's out here? Me? Me? Yeah. hoping for it. Yeah. Because all I want, I want somebody to tell me there is one and then watch five seconds of a clip on it on Twitter and then go, no. I can't do it. I can't know. I can't and I won't. Yeah. I liked that freestyle he did recently.

Oh, yeah? About, did you say it? No. He's sitting in that weird, weird room with like, there's like Iron Man statues and pinball machines and it's... Is that in his house? I don't know. Huh. It's not very good.

He should maybe just, just relax for a minute. Is his Hancock suit in there? It's not a bit. I don't know. You haven't seen this? The one way, the line that goes just because I'm a movie star, I'm going to act bizarre. It's like, it's like that one. Oh, no, you've told me about it.

It's fucking atrocious. Okay. Yeah. It's not AI? No. All right then. You'd say so. Also, like, there was a show recently that he did

and there was all the AI footage spliced in of the crowd. And that was probably these people that did that. And they're holding up like, you say my life Will Smith and the fonts are like, do you know what I'm talking about? No, but I mean, it all sounds great. Yeah. It's all good, man. It's all good.

Trailers, a hoi. Honk. I was going to, I was hoping you doing like an Adam's family, like a honk, honk, and I'd say, trailers a hooy. Oh, I didn't get that. And then I, and then. See, you don't have perfect pitch. Here's the opportunity.

See, I have perfect pitch. We can do it here. If I did it, you'd already, you'd know what I was doing. You could do it. I don't want to. You waste your perfect pitch, Mason. No, I do. You've got all these God-given talents.

And I'm jealous of. And they're effortless also, by the way. But I save it for later. Oh. To be clear, I don't need to. Like, if I did it now, I could still do it later easily. Yeah. It's not like I'm using it up.

You're using it to, like, score chicks? What are you doing? I'm using it right now. Can I not hear it? Yeah, because you've got a tin ear. Oh, man. Yeah. It's a real shame.

It is, actually. We should have a second podcast called Pitch Perfect and Tin Ear or whatever I said. Perfect pitch and tin ear. And it's just you singing and talking, I don't know. Oh, no, man. Oh, no, man. It's all right, I guess. Anyway, trailer's a hoi.

Hong, honk. That's all right. I blessed you with it just for a second there. Did you hear it? No. No, that's a shame for you. All the listeners were William Al-in, and they'll be like, I heard that. We've got a few starting with 28 years later, the Bone Temple.

That's right. This is the sequel to the one that came out this year. Not directed by Danny Boy. No, this is Nia DeCosta, who directed the Marvels, but also things that people saw. This is also the one that Killian Murphy might appear in. I think he is actually in a but very... But no sign in the trailer. Yeah.

This is also a very direct sequel to the last one. Yes. It's pretty much set straight after. The little kid has been inducted into the weird Jimmy Saville, a gang. Oh, no, you might say, and that's correct. Yes, exactly. Yeah. Because they're well mental.

They certainly are. Yeah. And, I mean, it looks great. I really like that last one. I know it's not for everybody because it's, you know, because it goes some weird places, and it's contemplative and sad, and there's a bone temple, and there's a man with a regular-sized dong. And there's another man. and he's covered in, um, what's that stuff?

Gou. iodine. Yes, iodine. Ray Fines. Ray Fines. And he seems to be the main player in this movie and he's going up against the Jimmy Savils and whatever, which I approve off, quite frankly. Uh, yeah, we get the returning zombie, the giant guy, whatever, with the regular-sized

dong. Regular. Regular sized. We get some flashbacks to the before times. Yeah. And in the trailer there is, and I asked you of this, I ask this of you. Sorry about my perfect pitch. That's okay.

Uh, but we see. We see the... A train back in the olden times. We see the alpha zombie in the present day and then we cut back to a little kid on a train and he is encountering in the past and he's encountering the rage virus. Is he somehow, did he survive?

Is that the monster, is that the alpha zombie in the present day, that kid? Potentially. I'm curious. And then he survives to the present day is in like the 2002 or whatever. Yes, yeah, yeah. Because is it he survives to the,

the, because he has to grow up then, so does it mean he, that, that guy survived till the present day and then he finally got, he finally got bit? Maybe, I don't know. Potent. Or maybe he grew up. Maybe they can. Zombies can grow up. We don't know.

He looks like a super hyped up one, not his dong, which is normal. That's very, very regular. Yeah. But, yeah, I, this is out January 15th and this is going to be while we're on break. But as I, I think we maybe, we, we speculated in the review of the previous one. Yeah. Ray Fines seems to be under the impression that this has a cure. But what is it?

A taller bone temple. It might be. Yeah. To ask a question from God. Can you stop this? Can you stop? I could. I could do it effortlessly.

I could definitely do it. Yeah, but I mean. Do you even want me to? Yeah, yeah. But I haven't seen many burnt offerings lately. Yeah. I mean, except for you burnt all those bodies. Yeah.

You did that a lot, honestly. But that was too close to the ground. That's right. Yeah. None of them counted. Those thousands of bodies don't count None of them count Yeah

And I think maybe that's where it's headed Like a more hopeful direction for this Yeah I think so And then if this one does well Which who knows whether it does Then we will get the proper Killian Murphy gym sequel

Which I don't know I'm kind of He's just in the gym Yeah he's just in the gym I don't know whether we're going to get that Because these aren't making enough money Yeah That's a shame

They spent a lot of money on The last one We get a web episode I think it underperformed. We get Killeen Murphy in a phone booth or whatever. They get him in a phone booth, like the movie Phone Booth. Maybe just a big Finnish audio book. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Perhaps, you know? Yeah, the last one. Oh, okay, the budget was $60 million and it made $151. Okay. But I don't know. So that's dead nothing. No, I think it's a little bit up and, yeah, maybe. It does depend on this one.

This could just sink like a stone, honestly. It is also out in January and who knows what's going on with movie theaters. Streaming companies are buying them I don't have you heard about that Also at trailer for Ready or Not Here I come Which is the sequel to Ready or Not And again like this one

A direct sequel It's set immediately after the events Of the first one I didn't see that for a long time I saw it on streaming at some point And yeah great, great movie And this one so if you don't recall the last one Are we doing spoilers?

I guess so We'll put a big spoiler thing at the start Yeah Here it is spoilers Spoilers for Ready or Not One Spoilers for big movie Not that big though I guess big for a horror movie

Yes A woman marries into a rich eccentric family And they have a tradition On the day of the wedding They all get together And the new spouse has to pull a card And they have to play with the name of a game on it And they have to play the game

And maybe it's like a good game Like hungry hippos Or slaps But if you pull hide and seek For whatever This family made a deal with the devil And they have to hunt The new spouse

Yeah And she survives Because the sequel obviously Yeah Yeah Which made the family explode Yeah Spoilers

It does Are we doing spoilers I guess so We'll put a big spoiler thing At the start Yeah I like that movie a lot But anyway

She survived the night Obviously Now she has a sister Yeah Now she has a sister And it turns out That was really only Part one

If anybody ever survives Yeah The hide and seek Then a bunch of other families Get involved And it seems like A Fate of the World Situation

But we've got some new we've got some new ensemble in there including Sarah Michelle Geller Buffy We got Nestor Carbonell Who's the mayor from Gotham City He is, he's in other movies

He's in other movies and other things Yeah He's in that morning show on Apple He's in the tick He's in the tick One version of the tick One version of the old version of the new one Don't look at it

The new one is very good though Yeah Yeah Yep great This is out April 10th I'm gonna check this one out Definitely And then of course

Out April 9th We've got the final trailer for The Boys' final season, which also continues on directly from the last season. These are all continuing directly on, aren't they? They are all continuing directly on. I mean, there's Blood and Gore and Jared Padalecki, who's also a supernatural guy is in this. Yeah. Now, here's the thing, though. I think, well, I mean, I think this is, um... Here we bloody go. Sorry, that I'm going to make this effortless observation, all right? Yeah. I'm sorry. It's going to be, so there's going to be so much insight here, and I'm

not even going to get it. Would you accept my apology, bearing in mind it's really good? I mean, If it's, yeah, I'll have to, won't I? Yeah, exactly. Because otherwise I look petty. Exactly. And even if you don't mean it, I can't tell anyway. There's a perfect apology. Yeah.

That's what this is. But a lot of people's speculation in about post-season four was that Butchie was going to be the bad guy. And maybe he still will be the bad guy towards the end of the season. But the suggestion here seems to be that he's just gotten the band back together. He's round on a mile. He's like, oh, but we all get to get one nice rode over. I got that squid out of me all over. Give it home land.

Yeah. Has he got the squid out of him? No, yeah, but he probably will get the squid out of him. I think that's how it's going to cure his cancer or whatever. Oh, yeah. Because it's physically manifested and it's going to leave his body. Homeland is punching a guy a lot, isn't he? Boy, squid would get out of here.

Do you see his homelander was punching? Who was it? We don't know. We don't know. Somebody durable, though, it seems, maybe. But also towards the end of the trailer, it looks like he's hesitating to land the killing low. So maybe it's a mate of his. Yeah.

Could it be A-Train? He doesn't like A-Train. Yeah, but I guess. Yeah. Is it the deep? The deep? Maybe a Queen Mave. Someone he likes but doesn't like.

I think it's somebody on his team. Yeah. But that's the thing, how many people are left on his team. Yeah, I guess. A lot of them are going. The new woman who's like the Marjorie Taylor Green woman. Oh, Firecracker.

Maybe. Maybe. Yeah. Maybe. I don't know. Do you see many crossover stuff with the Gen V? Not really. No, I think I saw some.

There was that dog, the bounty hunter guy. Did he pop up in a maybe? Yeah, maybe in a quick flash. But, yeah, Butcher's got everybody together. I mean, it looks like some of them are in, like, an internment camp and he's going to... Hughie's in there and he's going to, the correction camp. Butcher's going to rescue him and give him a bit of the old... What for?

One, two. You're one of you? Yeah. Oh, no, it looks like Starlight's going to rescue him. Wow. So there you go. She's got magic powers. Makes sense, doesn't it?

Yeah, it does make sense. Anyway, one last ride. I think this is a good time to be ending this. Yes. What's it? Five seasons? And a movie. No? No.

Who is he punching? I wonder. Who's he punching, folks? Email in. Emel in, especially if you actually know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who's Jared Padalecki going to be in this? He looks like some kind of oil barony kind of... Yes. He's going to say kind of a Chuck Norris-S character, but he did play Walker, Texas Ranger. He did play Walker, Texas Ranger, yeah.

Relatively recent. Yep. Because, of course, the creator of this also created Supernatural. That's right. And now both the Supernatural Boys are in this. Maybe it is his father. He's killing. What's his name? No, the guy frozen, yeah.

Maybe. Because he's got a love-hate kind of relationship with him, I'd imagine. Anyway, yeah, looks cool. Looking forward to it. Looking forward to it. And again, good time to be wrapping up, I think. Good choice at this point, yeah. That homeland, he's got away with it for long enough, does you think?

Also, we're in like this kind of era where you never know when the streaming service will suddenly decide to cancel you or especially if they get acquired by somebody else. Yep. So, you know, go out in your own terms. Sometimes you're watching it and you're like, didn't I pay for the unadded version? And they're like, no, that version's got ads now. That's right.

You want to pay more? Got to pay more. Got to pay more. Yeah. It's good now. I got an Uber last night, not to brag. All right. It wasn't easy either, not effortless the way you do it.

Yeah. But sometimes I don't even open the app. No? It's just an Uber shows up. And they go, Mr. Mason. And I go, yes, absolutely. Yes, absolutely. Anyway, this is probably.

Take me to a newer, even better life, I say. And I just get in and I. And you do that? I just do that. Yeah. You must be disappointed when sometimes it takes you here. Yeah, sometimes I got to, you know. But with that app, I know everybody probably knows, it's probably been for ages.

But as you're waiting for your car, it's just an just ads play. Like, there's just ads. Oh. I was like, I'm already paying for this. Yeah, right now. You show me ads for other things. Oh. Fucking crazy.

Did you click through to anything? Yeah, I looked at them all. Okay. I know, I use an Uber like, I've used it like five times since it existed. So I don't. Yeah. How's your rating? Must be pretty good.

Mine's a 4.86. No, mine's five. What? But it used to be, it used to be. It used up until like a year ago, I didn't have a rating. Oh, so somebody gave you one. No, because I'd used it so little. Like, if you only use it a certain amount of times, it doesn't give you one.

Oh, okay. Great. Yeah. Anyway, Star Wars news. Go on. You might like this, though. I might. Here's a special announcement from Star Wars.

Hi, I'm Star Wars. Hello. Part of Lucas films year-long 50th anniversary celebration. Star Wars from Star Wars here. That's right. A newly restored version of the classic Star Wars, 99. 77, sorry, theatrical release,

later renamed Star Wars and you hope will play in theaters for a limited time. I knew it. This is what people have been wanting for, well, since the special editions

came out. I know they did release them. There is a version on like the 2006 DVD release. I think when the special editions came out, people weren't clamoring originally. They were like convincing us, we were all convincing ourselves

this was definitely better. I think there is some better stuff in it. Like, actually. Human. Cab of the Hut. Exactly. That's a good example. Oh no,

wait, didn't they CGI? They did CGI. He's not in the original. That scene is completely unnecessary because all that information is already relayed by Greedo earlier in the movie. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. But so, yeah, I mean, there must have been some kind of clause in the contract or where they weren't allowed to release this until the 50th anniversary. Santa Claus. Yeah, because, thank you. Because George Lucas famously was like that the version.

Star Wars of Santa Claus. Yeah, the version is the version that I tweaked and kept tweaking up until the movie. A clunky edit. I'm tweaking it. I'm tweaking it. I'm tweaking right now. So this is happening on February 19th of 2027.

Call my wife. I'm tweaking. He's on something. What's he on? I don't know, man. Yeah, right. Probably death sticks. In the food court?

No, he's probably on death sticks in the food court. In the food court in Adelaide? Yeah. Which is the name of my punk band, by the way. Death sticks in the food court in Adelaide. I think what we should be thankful for, though, oh, what do you think of this? I love it.

Yeah, it's good. Which means we'll probably get some kind of at-home release. Also, these are available. There's, like, despecialized editions which you can download and whatever, like, there's been, because we didn't, we weren't given these. Yes. We're to take them. No, one's entitled to any of them.

We're entitled to, but. No, we're entitled to Star Wars. It's like fresh, fresh water and shelter. We're entitled to a non-special edition version of Star Wars. Yeah. And so fans have taken upon themselves to recreate the original Star Wars. already and you can get them if you know how have they done that how have they done that uh just just old getting different work prints yeah right right deep special affecting stuff

color grading it's it's a color grading it's a long process yeah you're probably right they just get old film real this would look incredible though like seeing like an original like yeah as intended in the moment i'm going to the movies james i'm going on the movie this is big movie this is the very definition of big movie i've seen it on big screen don't don't don't don't Don't wait for the home release and go, oh yeah, oh yeah, television. Television! Television! Don't say that.

Don't say it. That's insane. Snap out of it like rain man. Yeah, good Lord. What you need to do is see this in the big screen and you'll be wowed. Yeah, but also you don't have to see it. You'll say wow. You'll say wow, but also you don't have to see anything.

I mean, you, you know. I think also we should be grateful because this is only possible because of the purchase of one company buying another company. Absolutely. Otherwise, this never would have happened. We love that in all circumstances. And speaking of Mason, this week in one company buys another company news, this is one of the biggest yet. Absolutely.

Because it appears at time of recording. That's correct. And this could change for reasons we will talk about. And that we barely understand. Correct also. Even though I do that effortlessly. Effortlessly understand things. No, effortlessly don't understand.

Oh, okay. I don't understand. It's no problem for you. It's no problem for me. Because I'm grappling with it. Yeah, yeah. It's churning over in my mind. You might understand it.

But I can tell you, I can tell you without any effort at all, I do not understand this. Netflix has purchased Warner Brothers. Wow. Which I guess if you're going to break it down to purely just IP, that means every D.C. property and character and multiple universes, including the comics company. Oh, yes. June, Harry Potter. The Sinners Boys? Although Ryan Coogel will get that back in 25 years.

Oh, yeah. Maybe. Maybe not after this. Harry Potter, Evil Dead, Godzilla, Looney Tunes, Lord of the Rings, Mad Max, The Matrix, Oceans, Franchise Mason. Damn, even Ocean's Eight. Yeah, Scooby-Doo, Game Thrones. This is all going over to Netflix, it's saying.

Wow. Now, Hobomax. Yeah. Everything on Hobomax. Now, is this good news? No. No. People are also saying, and I'm inclined to agree with this, this is probably better than Paramount getting it,

which is owned by David Allen. and who would have is a horrible ghoul who would have used this and other properties to spread his horrible just a normal ghoul yeah normal goal

to spread a horrible horrible message and also it seems as if the best case scenario I guess was if the people bought it yeah we all bought it together we all chipped in on Patreon

it's not too late to subscribe to our Patreon yeah we'll get it slash Mr Sunday movies chuck in a bark and we can buy Warner Brothers slash discovery

yes a Comcast company I don't think it is well no Comcast, people were saying that would have been the best case scenario. And the way this happened is because Netflix made the strongest offer of around $28 per share. I forgot if Netflix buys this. I mean, it would all be available on Netflix.

We'll get a Netflix edit for all of this. That's right, all the next stuff. The sinners boys, they're like, damn. Perfect. Smoke and Stack. You can tell them apart from their necks. From their necks. You'd think they're identical twins.

One of them's got a bite maybe. Yes. Yes. Yes. Netflix. So they're off. Netflix's offer was $28 per share for Warner Bros. Discovery of Studio and streaming businesses. But only that.

Okay. Which this totals at around $82.7 billion. Paramount Skydance, apparently they offered $27 per share for the entirety of Warner Brothers Discovery business, including cable channels like CNN and TNT. Those are still currently up for grabs. Apparently, all the other stuff, which isn't the main studio stuff, is going to be packaged as like a news network. And that will probably also be sold off next year at some point.

We can buy that. Yeah, we can. Comcast also made a bid, but apparently it wasn't significant. It was two nickels. Maybe it was. What I find fascinating about this is just like, what makes Netflix a bigger company? Isn't it crazy? Because you'd think that, especially a few years ago, that like, well, Warner Brothers is the

biggest, bigger company because they're not just a streaming platform. They're a studio. A studio. Again, all these different brands. ranches of film and media, video games. Tasmanian devil boxer shorts, space jam, boxer shorts, boxers shorts, things like that. Lola Bunny boxer shorts. They all of these things.

Yeah, mm-hmm. Saturn boxer shorts, just to be clear. Yes, of course. They were big in Australia. They were huge for some reason. Really uncomfortable. But Netflix is worth $425.95 billion dollars at time of recording. So more than Warner Brothers.

But that to me, and look, I'm not a businessman. Sure, I did. a business degree and I run a very successful mom and pop business. That's right. But it does feel that Netflix is just an app with some content and smoke and mirrors. And I know it is more than

that. And obviously the value of it is the customer base, which is huge. It's not even the biggest streaming platform. We're the people. We're the people. The biggest streaming platform is YouTube. James, would it be funny if we all cancelled our Netflix subscriptions at the same time? Like

everybody in the world and then Netflix had to back out because they didn't have any money. That would be, yeah, that would be very funny. But I guess it's just, you know, the market dictates the Netflix, which apparently is profitable now at this point. And it's subsidiary Netflix.

Netflix. Which is even more profitable for a certain segment of perverts. Yeah. It is the bigger company. Tits around us though, is CEO of Netflix said, Don't worry.

Okay, great. Let me finish. This deal is pro consumer, pro innovation. pro worker it's pro creator it's a pro creator we are i mean you know next week it'll be or as soon as this is approved it'll be like yeah we are firing 90 000 people yeah we're pro worker though yeah and it's also pro growth it's you know our plans here are to work really closer with all the appropriate governments and regulators but we're really confident we're going to be able to get

all those necessarily necessary approvals that we need this is what apparently is going to happen in the short term okay this will change as soon as They can. They're committed to the theatrical model with existing films, particularly anything that's already made is going to come out at cinemas. June 3, there's a new Mortal Kombat, Supergirl, whatever, all of that is still happening. HBO Max will remain also. They're not apparently going to fold that into Netflix.

That could change, but that being said, that's a pretty powerful brand in itself, and you can also charge people twice. I was going to say charge people twice. So, I mean, I have both, so, you know. The creative leaderships will remain. I have both. And let me tell you, the subscription fee comes out of my account effortlessly. Yeah?

Just straight out. Just, it's just gone. It's like it was never there. Really? Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Creative leadership will remain.

That's your James Guns, who's doing the DC, your Peter Safferans and everybody else who is higher up, a producer, creative producer and a person working there. Until I get a golden parachute to leave. That could change, yeah. But he did say that the consumer window will evolve. as in like this when something goes from cinemas to streaming to be more consumer friendly so quicker to where the audience to meet the audience quicker is the quote and of course Ted Sarandos famously is the guy who's like yeah I loved going to the movies as a kid going to the cinema

cinema experience but in the as the head of Netflix that's not happening at all and look this I mean you know speaking of Uber it's it's the same thing it's because Uber, I mean, in Uber, we're very open about this, I think, for a long time, which is the, the idea was that you provide a great service, an innovative service for cheaper than all the alternatives until you kill off all the alternatives. So, like, public transport and taxis or whatever. Yep. And then you hike up the prices and start paying your employees less. And then they hope was that, like, autonomous driving cars became a thing and then they could fire all their drivers, but that never really happened. No.

So, and then, of course, a bunch of competitors jumped up. But this is the same thing We want to kill off the cinema-going experience And so that's the thing As soon as all the things They've agreed to release in the cinemas As soon as that's gone Everything they sign up subsequently

Every director, it'll be like You get two days You get two days in the cinema I think there will be exceptions Like a Dune or whatever But yeah I think you're right I think also this would Oh man Christopher Nolan

Yeah well he doesn't He's now at Universal Yeah he's universal But he famously got birth earned by Warner Brothers. Well, exactly. And he factors into this also. Because didn't he say...

I want to talk about. Because there was a moment where Warner Brothers is like we're going to release all our movies. In like 2021, yeah. Yeah, all the movies that were going to come out theatrically, they're going to come out. So it's like streaming at the same time. Wonder Woman, maybe. And Christopher Nolan said all these filmmakers went to bed thinking that they were releasing movies through the world's best studio.

And then they woke up discovering they were being released through the world's worst streaming service. Yeah. incredible so that's one yeah i i think also like this is an opportunity for netflix if they were smart then you can corner the market on streaming and theatrical

you can literally have provide the best experiences for both of those four people but i just don't think that they are interested in doing that i don't know i don't even think they're capable of making good movies because how many good Netflix movies are there extraction and it's to extraction

Well, and it's Netflix equivalent, next traction. And next traction too. And there are examples of... An even bigger neck. There's good Netflix movies. They do exist. I can't think of one.

Extraction. Extraction is a good one. Yeah. But it's just... Look, I think I bookmarked a list, actually. Let me find it. Does this relate to what we're talking about? It was just another thing.

No, just a list of things. Okay. So this is from John Roker on Twitter. Yeah, I know John. I met John Roker. Netflix has been a home of Stranger Things, The Crown, Adolescence. Ozark, Beef, Baby, Rainier, Mind Hunter, Narcos, Squid Game,

Wednesday, Daredevil, The Punisher Season 1, Love Death and Robots, Black Mirror, unbelievable, he says, Peky Blinders. Yeah, I like Peky Blinders. But is that, was that Netflix always? Yeah, I was, okay, great. So, you know. Yeah, but also, those are shows. They're not movies.

They are shows, and also shows that have been arbitrarily canceled or not canceled, depending. So, like, Stranger Things has been going for a decade, but, you know, there's a bunch of stuff Mind Hunter went away after two seasons and everybody wants it back but they won't bring it back

for some reason there's also a bunch of stuff that are not mentioned there which completely disappeared or were terrible well they do a new series every week absolutely

yeah yeah so I just oh here's a list K-pop demon hunters sure yeah Jay Kelly which I liked a lot Train Dreams apparently is very good Frankenstein

Pinocchio that's the Guillermo del Toro one yeah Beast of No Nation Roma the Irishman the lost daughter to five bloods that's great the two popes

but not the young pope Marrani's Black Bottom also great Dolomite is my name That was good Great The King Mank Icarus Etcetera

A lot of those are good Yeah Well probably all of those Yeah But also like When Disney Plus and Max decided to like Shift the theatrical experience

To put either A bunch of Star Wars Or Marvel stuff On streaming Either as TV shows Or like Black Widow Went straight to streaming And Warner Brothers put

all their movies straight to streaming. That really hurt cinemas. Yes. Dramatically. And you'd think that they would recognize that because Warner Brothers then reversed that since then because it did such spectacular fucking damage. And Disney just went,

ah, we don't know. Yeah, that's right. Just keep doing some of that but stop some of this and do this, I don't know. I don't know. Robert Danny Jr. is back. I don't know. We just threw $100 million at Robert Danny Jr.,

we're hoping he's going to save cinema he didn't even catch it he didn't even care it's not worth his time not with his time to lift his hand up and grab the money the check just sort of flitted in front of him and he just landed on the ground he just walked away he got in his peanut oil powered car and he drove off also i should point out as you mentioned this is still in the works yes and we'll go through if it happens in mid in mid 2026 and if it doesn't go through Netflix are on the hook for $5 billion, which is like fuck all for them. Bloomberg, though, and Variety reported that Paramount Skydance have cried foul over the sales process.

Well, I would. Yeah, labeling it tainted. It's not fair. We've got everything else. Why can't we have this? In a letter sent to Water brother, CEO, David Zazlap. I'm David Ellison. My dad gave me everything.

Paramounts. My dad's Larry Ellison. Paramounts are too. My dad's Larry Everson. Paramount's attorney's alleged. He owns oracle. So I own Oracle. Baramount's attorneys allege that Water Brothers Board had embarked in a myopic process

with a predetermined outcome that favor a single bidder referring to Netflix. So they're actually, according to CNBC, Paramount is now considering taking an offer straight to shareholders to acquire the asset, believing its deal has a better chance of gaining U.S. regulatory approval. I'm going to go with everything. I'm thinking with Donald Trump. Yeah. I'm going to give him a president and he'll do me.

dig my way. This could happen. Yeah. This could legit happen. I saw a video and it was the president of FIFA giving Donald Trump a special FIFA peace prize. Yeah. FIFA famously incorruptible organization. Yeah. But I mean, that's all somebody has to do here.

Yeah. Is that somebody has to give him a, whoever gives Donald Trump the biggest presence is going to push this through. Absolutely. So like, so, because obviously, Net. Netflix acquiring Warner Brothers and their studios and their theatrical distribution networks and all their agreements and their contracts or whatever. That's an antitrust issue, presumably, like a monopoly issue. Because that's, I mean, and up until a few years ago, you know, the whole idea, because

back in the olden times, the studios owned all the cinemas and all that sort of stuff. It was a big monopoly situation. They broke it up and they made the laws to say, you couldn't do that. And then recently they've rescinded that, so now you can do whatever. do it. Yeah. So what's going to happen is this has to go through an assortment of lawyers in the U.S. government and probably the European government as well, which might have a different

decision, but that means that somebody in the government is going to have to say, is this a monopoly or is it not a monopoly? And they're going to do what the president says. And if the president gets a big president, he's going to say it's fine or not fine. So, I don't know, buy him a plane or something. Yeah, buy him a plane, give him a big trophy with a net. Netflix logo on the top and say, you're the president. And it's also going to have to be the last thing he gets before the vote.

Absolutely. Before he instructs people to vote on this or whatever. However this system works, you have to be the last guy in. Because he's just, it's just he does whatever the, he does the bidding of whoever rich guy gave him the compliment most recently. Or like, like Zoran Mamdani went in recently. He was like, this guy's cool. Yeah.

This is cool. And everyone's like, what's happening? Because he's a fucking idiot. Like he doesn't think anything. It's just whatever's in front of him And how he feels in the moment We love him Yeah, we love him

Ironically it was David Allison And Paramount apparently Well, not apparently They drove up the price Because they're Through their initial bid That brought in Comcast and Netflix And that raised the share price

Okay, all right So Water Brothers at the moment Like the shares have never been I think they're like something like $27 a share Or whatever No, well they are Because that's what they're purchasing them for

it's riding high so like as a company yeah it looks good and profitable because that's that's it's how it's been bolstered by this bidding war and because as we know over the past few years david zaslab CEO of warner brothers has been gutting the company to do this exact thing we've been talking about it for years and it's finally happening you know i mean the the silver lining here is david zazov's going to get another big check funny you should say that because his shares are now worth $554 million. Not bad. It'll be probably closer to $660 by January because he's going to be getting more shares

as a result of this. Imagine how many puffy vests he can buy for. Oh my God, so many. So this is a good result for Warner Brothers shareholders. Correct, yes. And that's all it's important. Yeah. Do you know there's some negatives to this though?

No, I wouldn't think so. Let me just play devil's advocate for a second. This is some, if not all. When you've got people, this is obvious, this is economics 101, which we both. took and understood. That's right. You effortlessly, me, I had to put in a lot of work. Competition is obviously key to, like, creative output and survival, and it's a rising tide. No, it's not rising tide. How would you describe it effortlessly, Mason? More studios means better competition. I'll let you have that one. Thanks. I was going to jump in. Yeah,

but I didn't. Also, in addition to Netflix not really supporting the theatrical experience, they also don't support physical media. Correct, yes. That could change because they're going to I own somewhat of a physical media company. When Disney bought Fox, a lot of physical media, like they stopped printing a bunch of classic movies, you know. So a lot of people have said, get you, if you're going to buy, if you like Warner Brothers pictures,

buy the DVDs and the Blu-rays while you can, because they might just stop. Well, they might not. Yeah, they might not. Yeah, but the prices are going to go up. Whatever happens. Hell yeah. I mean, if you also look,

because Disney purchased 20th century Fox, which I guess was the last similarist example of this, That was a much smaller deal than that And you know They've been doing good stuff With like aliens and predator Arguably depending what you like

Sure But they're not exactly innovating In any of those spaces are they They're just taking the existing IP Planet of the Apes is another example And they're just doing more versions of that Yeah They're also doing it

They're also apparently They're doing that thing where If you're a theatre that likes playing The classic movies And you're like hey can we get aliens Yeah exactly You can watch it on streaming Yep

Also, theatrical windows apparently could be as thin as two weeks Which is bad What if I want to watch big movie And I'm not free those two weeks Then mate I also this will depend on the movie Like some will have mentioned run

Also, I don't know if they know this And surely they do They bought a bunch of video game companies Including Nether Realm who make Like Mortal Kombat and Justice Rocksteady they now own Is that the Arkham games Oh no, so there's rock stars GTA

Yeah Rock Steady Rock Steady That's, that in itself, like, that's huge. That's huge. They, I mean, they must know. I don't know. I don't know.

But then, now they run a video game division. Yeah. And you can play video games on Netflix, James. Yeah, but like, did they? Yeah, well, sort of. You can play, like, mobile games. Yeah. Yeah.

So, yeah, I don't know what that means. Apparently James Gunn and Peter Safran's contracts have been extended to 2026. They had initially a four or five-year contract, which ended in 2020. You can play Red Dead Redemption. Oh, the game? Yeah. The first one. The first one.

The good one. I like that. name. So, James John and Peter Safran got their contracts renewed a year, which says that, I guess, for the meantime, there's still... You can play Narcos Cartel Wars Unlimited. No, thank you. I don't want to play that. A little picture of Pedro Pascar. I don't, I don't approve of drugs. So no. I don't approve of selling drugs. You can play the Queen's Gambit, Chess. I don't approve of Gambiting. I don't. You can play Rollercoaster Tycoon. I don't approve a rollercoaster tycooning. Wow. I don't approve any of those. What about balloons?

Yeah, I'm a big fan. Yeah, that's right. Bloons. Bloons. Balloons, tower defense. Yeah, I approve, big time. I mean, you love defending your tower. As a family, man, you've got to defend your tower. Exactly. You know that. Yeah. So that means that they're going to be there to the least 20, 27.

That will also, I think, depend on how well the DCU is going. Because I know people listening to this one will be like, what does that mean? So DC Comics movies, the same for now. For now. For now. They're apparently looking to do more DC streaming shows, which is a surprise, whatever that looks like. The Snyder versus, is. is not happening.

That might change. Oh, I see what you're saying. Okay. That didn't even occur to me. But this is what they want. This is what the Snyder Bros wanted is because they're always saying sell the DC Snyderverse to Netflix. Now Netflix is getting Warner Brothers or the DC product.

So I mean, you know, this is it, isn't it? It seems as if. And look, maybe it will return. Maybe it'll return. What do I fucking know? Nothing. But Zach Snyder's foray at Netflix. It wasn't exactly a huge success.

There was an Army of the Dead movie and then a prequel about robbing a bank, which he didn't direct. There were two Rebel Moon movies which nobody liked and then extended versions of those. And it seems as if that he's stopped working there. Seems like he stopped working. So I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon. But variety.

But they've got a story that says, Anonymous A-listers, Lobby Congress against Netflix, WBD, acquisition. Streamer would hold a noose around the theatrical marketplace. So a bunch of top industry players have basically rang an alarm to Congress that if this succeeds, there's potentially an economic and institutional meltdown for the industry. But also you can get a bunch of kickbacks, they said. Yeah, I mean, yeah. Bear that in mind, you know. But do the right thing. Yeah, do the right thing. But bearing in mind if you do the wrong thing morally, there'll be lots of freebies for you.

So this was... Just people in rooms telling you you're good and then giving you free dinners and money and stuff. This was anonymous. Even though you have a bunch of money. Yeah, but what if you had

just a lot more? And also we can do some insider trading for you also. We can do that for you, no problem. Yeah, we'll give you some tips. We don't even mind. You can be, you can be so rich and every like, how are they so rich?

The salary doesn't cover that and they're like, well, they just made some good investments. They made the right decisions of the right time. They made the right time, which is a day before announcements. It's not who you know it's what you know, but it's also who you know. Yeah, yeah.

It's both. Yeah, because the people you know. They tell you what you know. In advance. Yeah. In advance of public announcements. That's right. So this was anonymous and it was basically, and it was left unsigned, not out of

cowardice, but fear of retaliation. Sounds like cowardice. Yeah, it does. Because of the considerable power behind, like, the people running this. And apparently, it features some very prominent filmmakers. And speaking of the Directors Guild of America, which is led by Christopher Nolan, that's right. Who's not even American? He's not even American. Damn. Go back to where you came from

man. I mean, talk about corruption. Corruption big time. We see you, Christopher Nolan. Oh, we should... Oh, film-making, film-going experience. Oh, shut up. Eat some chips and vinegar and you find town of Essex or where you're fucking from, whatever. Have some scran at the football. You dog? You low dog.

Apparently, he's going to, with the director's good of America, they're going to meet with Netflix to discuss concerns about the streamers potential acquisition of Warner Brothers. I mean people like him like he does have sway yeah his voice does and swag and swag but go back to where you came from you came from Christopher Nolan so that that that is that is something but just pretty pretty pretty pretty I said this a lot pretty grim pretty dire pretty dire stuff all

it all but this was this was always going to happen yeah we've been talking about this for years and I see people have been celebrating that like David Zazlob what incredible businessman and whatever, that he's done this. And yeah, he has increased the value of Warner Brothers to sell it. Yeah. But if you're a major Warner Brothers shareholder, yeah, he is great. He's done incredible work in that regard. But if you like the concept of a company that produces something of entertainment value for you,

not necessarily the greatest news. Drew Gordon, who's a YouTuber, he made a video this week, and it's a really good video just breaking down. This is before this came out. It's called Greed is a Story. the world and it's about like tech moguls and industries that have been destroyed by he specifically cites g e and the power of g e and basically and it's similar to this where they they used to make things you've got light bulbs and whatever refrigerators refrigerators and

those big guns you put on planes things like that yeah they were associated with mini gun mini guns on general electric yeah and they were associated with just like good brands and all american and all of that and then i can't remember the name of the guy but this particular guy god in and he basically used his position to just inhale every small company, every company smaller than them, and just increased the value of GE to a breaking point where it wasn't even really making anything, it was just consuming, and then it just fucking broke down. Yeah. And I know his name.

It was Admiral Neumatic. General Electric's arch and emissus. Yeah. And I just think if we are going to keep doing one company eats another company forever and ever, This is all going to collapse Absolutely, yeah Because it's just increasing profit For a few

For the And you might get some DC shows Along the way, I guess So that's perfect But yeah I don't know, man I think what they're probably going to do I reckon they're going to take

What we think at this point It's going to be a major DC movie release And they're going to be like We're debuting on Netflix That'll be the crossover That'll be the That'll be the

That'll be the to sweeten the pot as a lot. They might do it in theatres and on Netflix at the same time, but I bet they'll be like, new Superman movie, Netflix. You can only sit on Netflix. Did you have HBO Max? Well, too bad.

We don't care. We don't care. Get rid of it, but don't. Do you have both of them? Well, you have to subscribe to Netflix again. You're going to need two Netflix subscriptions to get the new Superman movie. What do you think about that?

I would love to. Yeah, me too. I would relish the opportunity. And then you have to play, you know, Each screen only plays half and you have to push two wide screen TVs together Turn them upwards

Yeah Push them together To like one big square Yeah big square We're bringing back big squares We certainly are A couple of big squares right here Mason Ready to move on to the next segment of the show

Yes It's what we read What we're going to read Isn't it? Yes Fuck I'm doing nothing I'm doing nothing

You've been watching Some of the Stranger Things I've watched a little bit of Stranger Things I watched all of Stranger Things I was like I'm gonna set my mind to I'm gonna watch all of Strangier Things You messaged me and you said Should we watch FNAF 2 or Stranger Things

No you said No you said And I said And I said Apparently FNAF is bad I've heard FNAF is bad I've heard even long time fans of FNAF Well like I loved first FNAF

What? Why? Yeah I don't like that movie Well I don't know I don't know But they're like But second FNAF Not as good

Damn Does it have Matthew Lillard? Matthew Lillard? Matthew Lillard also Quentin Tarrantan O. He took a shot at Matthew Lillard apparently. There's a few bit of all. I think he said Owen Wilson he didn't like and...

Come on, man. What are you doing? Wow. Wow. I can't believe he did that to Matthew Lillard. I just think, hasn't he seen the show Stick? Maybe he hasn't seen Stick. I haven't seen it.

Maybe he hasn't seen it. I reckon he, there's no way he hasn't seen SLC punk. That's a classic Quentin to or Antenoneau type of movie that he would watch. Well, I don't know whether he has or hasn't. Mason. Maybe he's only seen SLC Punk 2, which I believe Matthew Lillard is not in, but I didn't know. I didn't know that. You wouldn't. Strange things is the most expensive Tivish of all time, apparently. Crash Netflix when it came out, but now 50 cents documentary on P. Diddy took that over, which I haven't watched. 50 Cent made a documentary about P.D.D. He hates

Petitty. We all do. Yeah. Yeah. But he's got the money to make a documentary about it. That's true, yeah. Called I hate P. Diddy. I'm the only one that hates P. Ditty. And we're all like, Damn it. If you haven't made a documentary about Pete Edie, that means you love Pete Ditty. Yeah. So, yeah, I mean, I appreciated that there was a little bit of a recap because it did kind of take me a minute to figure out what this is again. Oh, they destroyed the town.

Okay. What, did they? Eddie? Eddie? Eddie. Incredible. Where's Eddie? Where's Eddie?

He's Eddie. He's dead. He's dead. Eddie's dead. Yeah. They got Millie Bobby Brandon spike to camera. He's dead. He's dead.

incredible de-aging we get some young will at the start or whatever yeah you know it's interesting because it gave me like welcome to dairy vibes and like young it's but I'm like well of course it did because this this is a show that was directly inspired by that but now the circle is complete because we got some like what's the town called uh dairy now it's not called dairy stranger thing strange stranger town yeah we got some flashbacks to stranger town hawkins in the 1950s yeah but did you see a de-aged um whenona writer in there?

Yes. Yeah. Oh, you do get up to that point. Yes. I haven't seen all of it yet, which I have. I might be misremembering and maybe because it's just been years apart, but it does feel like this show has been good at moving the story forward. It doesn't always, I mean, there's things that return like various monsters and whatever,

but it does feel like the, it's not just repeating the same thing every season. Or it is. Some people have said that the, you know, the show is, I've said one criticism I've seen of people save the show is that they're just, to, of winging it. But I don't think they are, because I think back in the, back in the day, when the first season came out, they said they had like a series Bible and they're like, okay, well, I mean, I'm sure that has changed over the years. I don't think it has. You know, depending on the star power of who they can get back

and, et cetera, you know. And that's also amazing in itself that they have pretty much got everyone back. Well, they've got infinite Netflix money. Yeah, exactly. And as you said, it's the most expensive series of all time, or whatever. Yeah. Did you say a figure just then? No, I can do that for you. I can probably get up. Please. Please. Please. They did recast the sister who gets kidnapped. That's right. She was somebody else, which I had to look up because I don't.

It's been so many years. Yes. Yeah. You know the monster goes into the house to kidnap them? Yes. Maybe I missed it, but, you know, it, like, messes up the mom who, like, stabbed it with a wine bottle. What happened to the dad? Did he die?

Cover with the glasses? Yeah, because he gets, like, flung through a wall. Oh, don't know. Do you know what I'm talking about? No. You know, the girl that gets kidnapped? Yes. She has a mom and a dad.

Yes. And the mom is stabbing the monster with the monster with the wall. wine bottle. Yes. But there's an earlier scene where it flings the dad, like, through a war. Right, okay. And I don't remember. Maybe they explained it.

Like, she's in the hospital. They would have said somebody, somebody's, there would be dialogue with somebody said, and he died, by the way. BTW, he died. Oh, the budget is between $400 and $480 million. Per episode. No, I don't think it's per episode. I mean, you idiot.

Yeah, I'm just not kind of a... Vecner's back, obviously. 11's just killing people. There's a moment where she just, you just, like snaps a guy's neck with her mind, just a regular guard, just snap. Yeah, well, you know, he's not a main character, so he deserves it. Yeah.

He's probably, you know, trying to make money to feed his family. Snap, not anymore. No. Probably got life insurance. It's probably better for them ultimately. Probably is, really. They're doing them a favor. In Hawkins, you would get your neck snapped by a telekinetic insurance.

You probably would. You get 50 grand. 50 grand, that's pretty good. In the 80s. You buy a house for that. You can sell it now for a million. million bucks. Yeah, easy. Just wait. Yeah. Yeah. And by then, you probably finish grieving. Probably married again. You probably finished grieving. Yeah.

You're over it. You're over it. Sell the housemaker Millie. Exactly. Bobby Brown. A cool Millie, Bobby Brown. Yeah, I don't know. I'm not going to do full spoilers because I know you haven't finished it anyway. And there are more episodes to come. I'll probably finish this. I don't think I'll rush to the conclusion. I don't know whether we're even going to come back to this, because it's kind of times with us taking a break and end of the year. Yeah, well, see, I had that thought as well. Yeah, because the finale's are coming out on Christmas Day, right? I know what I'll be doing Christmas Day

celebrating Christmas with my family and yours. All right. I'll be there, Mason. Okay. Whether you want it or not. You're going to bring your family? I'm going to bring all of my family with me.

Yeah. Does your sister mind who's making Christmas happen this year? Well, she doesn't know, and she will, but bring them along anyway. She's not going to mind. No, she will mind. Oh, yeah, that's true. I'm going to stress her out beforehand.

Yeah, no, no, surprise. Surprise is the key. Would you watch this if you didn't have to watch some of it? Probably not. But now that I'm in, I'm like, yeah, I will finish it. But again, I probably won't finish it until... Second screen viewing? Yes.

Okay, man. No, not at your second screen viewing. Just asking questions. God, are we going to notice, like, more Warner Brothers content turning into second screen viewing? Potentially. Are we going to see the DC movies turning into second screen viewing? Potentially, I hope so. I'm using my green lantern ring for second screen viewing.

Yeah, that's right. I'm watching Stranger Things. That's great, Hal Jordan. That's really good. that you're doing that. Oh, my goodness. We move it along? Yeah.

I'm using my Green Lantern ring for a minor effect because we blew the budget. Yeah. So, you know. Yeah, I understand that. We're only going to do Green Lantern stuff right at the end in the final episode. Perfect and fun and good.

Have you watched anything else? Yeah, I'll probably talk about next week, though. Oh. I'll always got something on the go, Mason. I haven't watched a dang thing. I don't think this work. I'm literally cutting it out and moving it right now to next week. I just got a hanker

and I'm going to watch some James Bond movies again. Oh, which ones? I'm going to watch Quantum of Solis again. Not's a good one. You're not going to start with Kassano-R-R-Nal? I've seen it a trillion times. And it is the best one. Yeah.

You'd rather watch it not as good one. I'll re-watch, yeah. I'm with you, though. I mean, we did videos on them. Yeah, I, um, you know what I have been we were watching? What's that? My son's never seen the Toby McGuire Spider-Man movies. Oh, and so we've been watching them.

And then I went and watched the first two. I'm about to watch the third one. because we did some caravan of garbage a few years ago like like 2019 and I just I feel like I was too harsh on them like going back

I'm like these are great I'm an idiot Well we I don't think we were harsh There's stuff in the end that I'm like I don't believe that Or not anymore Is it time for a re-review James No I don't think so

But they're so great They're just really fun and charming And I think I was too hard on Toby Maguire I just think Yeah but you don't know what's going on his private life right now Maybe you weren't harsh enough Yeah you're right exactly It's fully cheering on this Netflix acquisition.

You think that's what he's doing? Like a low dog, yeah. I think that's probably not just the tip of the iceberg of the bad stuff that he's doing. Yeah, okay. Yeah. He was having those parties with Leonardo DiCaprio or whatever. They got those tattoos, remember. Wow, was Pete Diddy there?

I don't know about that, basically. I don't know about that, basically. But anyway, do new. The Spider-Man Ramey movies, there's a real charm to them, and they look fun and good. That is actually true. Yeah, I like it. And I like telling my son how old everybody is. It's like that school kid.

It's 28. It's Joe Mangano. He's 44. He was Deathstroke in one scene. In one movie. Never again, though. Never again. I think maybe there was a picture of him one time

for something else. He was married to Sophia Vergara. You'll learn later. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's next, Mason? You know what? I'm going to watch the Phoenician scheme. I've watched the Phoenician scheme.

What's the Phoenian scheme? It's the Wes Anderson film. Is that the newest one? It is the newest one. It is the newest one. I wish I had a scheme. Oh, the one with the, oh, yeah. I recognize this.

It's got Michael Sarah. It's got that Michael Sarah. Michael Sarah is one of those guys that you, where you're like, was he not always a Wes Anderson guy? Every time he brings in a new guy and you're like, huh. Is that a Wes Anderson guy? Are you like, surely he's been in a, like Jeffrey Wright for the last French dispatch. I'm like, wow, he really, he's always been a. Yeah, that's exactly right.

Yeah, been one of those guys. He's always been one of those guys. Yeah, cool. All right, Mason, should we move it along? No. It's a letter segment? No. I think it's actually is time, and you're going to have to do it.

You're going to have to pull yourself together and pull your socks up and play the lettuce thing. You know, I'm going to do it. Yeah. And I'm going to do it effortlessly. Okay. The classic one was, Letters. Oh, letters.

I don't know. I saw a fine crack. No, you did. In your effortless veneer. Now you're going to do letters. You look worried. Nah, I wasn't. Nah.

Nah, man. Mason, this is the letter segment of the show. I know what it is. I know what it is and I'm cool and calm and collected, all right? If you want to reach the letter segment of the show, you can send an email to Weekly Planetpot at gmail.com. That's right. Some people have sent 100 letters.

Too many. Oh, yeah, you think so? Yes. Some people will send in 100 good letters. That's true. That's good. You know who you are. Yeah.

You know who's who. You know. You've probably got a friend. If you're looking at three friends and all three of them are sent in 100 good letters and you're like, who sent in a hundred bad letters? It was. It was you, yeah. That's right.

Yeah. And you saw two footprints in the sand and whatever, then there was one footprint. Was Jesus holding 100 good letters? He was writing and holding 100 good letters. He's that good. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Or, he's nearly as effortless as me.

Nearly? Jesus. Is he? Yeah. The son of God. Because at the end, he was like, oh, don't like this. Yeah, exactly. Get over it.

Just go with the flow, man. Yeah. All right, all right. Chill out. Yeah, yeah. Just keep living. You know what I mean? Yeah.

Yeah, grow up. Anyway. Or, you're like a broadcasting great mate's group. That's right. Speaking of 100 things. Okay. This is an email from Chris, who says 100th movie commentary track on Big Sandwich.

Oh, God. Good evening, James and May so. I was recently downloading much of the content available at big sandwich.com. Thanks for the plug. So much. So I can access in a case of nuclear apocalypse, which is, you know, soon after the Netflix, Warner Brothers acquisition, that'll happen.

I noticed you have recorded exactly 99 movie commentary tracks going from Captain America the First Avenger in March of 2014. all the way to pray in November of 2025. Now that you know this, how much thought do you plan to put in your 100th track? Something special, perhaps? We already did it. Yeah, we did it already.

That's not this week, it's next. It's on Red One. It's red one. Atrocious movie. Hard watch. Awful. I don't know what we said. I didn't know it was the 100th one though.

But I probably still would have picked Red One. Yeah, no, that's true actually. Because we do a free one. Like, that'll go up early at Big Sandwich.com. Along with this week's thing, which is we look at an Iron Man comic. That'll just be on YouTube. That'll be on YouTube. on like a few days before Christmas,

but it would be even earlier on Big Sandwich. But yeah, no, no, no thought, didn't know. I often don't know what they're numbered. Oh, no, no, absolutely, no, no. That's why the hundredth, the multiple of a hundredth episode of the podcast always springs up on us. People are like, what are you doing it? We didn't do it.

We don't know what happened. We don't know. We should do a, like, we'll do like a celebration on the 620th episode or something. Unless that's already happened. Yeah, I don't know. We're 604, apparently. Wow. Just looking at this Google Doc.

Wow, wow, whoa, wow. So, no, thank you for supporting us, though. Absolutely. That's fun for us. That's right. And I guess fun for you by extension. We love to see a little download numbers go up. We do.

We don't look. Well, I don't even think we can with Big Sandwich. Alex Lett says, thoughts on Brainiac casting, on the Brainiac casting rumors. We've heard a Clauze bang. Klausbang, that's Dracula than I thought. That's Dracula. Sam Rockwell. He's also in other things.

He's in the Northman. He is? He's the bad guy in the Northman. Oh, he used to. Sam Rockwell. Matt Smith. Myth is one of the latest ones. They're fan casting based on head shape.

Do you think this is fan casting or truth bomb? Klaus Bang would be a great brainiac. I wonder if they're going to do little. We know he can look at a screen. Yeah, sure. You can do little bitliddle, you know. You can do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I, who was the guy from the Princess Bride, the inconceivable guy? I saw his name. Wallace Sean. But I don't know. Like, are they going to do Little Brainiac? I don't think there's no way because Brainiac in the Superman comic

what's the Brainiac Superman comic the famous one Unbound Brainiac is little Oh okay And in the movie At least I think it's in the comic

He rebuilds himself Oh it's big They're not gonna do that Oh okay So save money You make him exist You make him big Yeah

You cast a big guy Yep Shoes on the knees Shoes on the knees Like Dorf on golf I was hoping you to remember What

You looked at be like... Dauph on golf. I mean, I would have said the movie where the Gary Oldman one. The Yomboa Tiptoe. It's not going to do

Dorf on gold. No, that's true. Yeah, I guess. One day you will. And I didn't even do the one the other one. No, no, no, no. Yeah, I think,

are these real? Maybe. Klish bang. That's so specific. Yeah. Just come out of nowhere, though. That feels real. Yeah.

Which makes me think the other ones are real also. Sam Rockwell a bit. Yeah, I don't get that one at all, honestly. I love Sam Rockwell, but I don't know if that would. I mean, I'm sure he could do it. Matt Smith, I understand.

I think maybe people are like, well, Sam Rockwell's duet-D-C-go, because he was a Marvel guy. Give him another thing. You know, Ted Cord. Yes. Or a different guy. Ted Cord's brother. Red cord. Red cord.

Red Ted cord. Yeah. Cool. No, so, look, it'll be fine. They'll cast someone good. I'm not worried. Who else? Jason's day of them?

You toilet. Superman. You're talking, you're thinking head shape. I'm thinking head shave, yeah, too big. I like Matt Smith. I like that. He was Skynet. He was Skynet.

And also the Emperor maybe. Yes. For a bit. And he's in the Star Wars movie, Starfighter. He's in that as well. He's a villain. All right. All right.

That's enough. That's enough. That's enough, folks. Enough Alex. Yes. Yes. What do you got, Mason? This is from Nicholas.

Nicholas. Hey, boys. Hi, Nicholas. I'm writing all the way from Halifax, Nova Scotia in Canada. How's that work? Is that a town, province, country? Zip code? I know Canada is a country.

Let me tell you, Mason, I know. I know. I already know. I don't want to talk about it. I've been recently finding that comic books are being releasing full cast audiobooks. I'll listen to All-Star Superman and Kingdom Come. What comic book storylines would you want to be an audiobook form? I mean, those are good ones. I prefer an original.

Yes, I see what you're saying Because I did the Batman one Yeah The Wolverine one I liked the Batman a lot I didn't listen to the Wolverine one I wasn't to some of that I remember liking it or something

But the Batman was good Yeah I think I would prefer Is that the one that Winston Duke Was Batman? Yes That one yeah I like that one a lot

And I think if you're going to do audiobooks you need to take advantage of the media Well are they just reading the comic Or are they like in this picture Because I don't think I've ever listened to any of this And then Superman got on a horse Clippity, clopperty, cloppy, clippity, clopety, clopty, he's still on the horse.

Clippity, clopety, clippa. He doesn't even need a horse. Why would he even get on a horse? Sometimes it's nice to be on a horse. It is sometimes nice to be. Not maybe I don't like him. But can we think of anything? Yeah, I don't know.

And then Superman was DC Vision. I mean, watchman would make a great audio book. Probably would, you're right. Yeah. And we can add it to the pile of Allemore adaptation stuff that he hates. That he doesn't like. Or maybe he'd love an audio. book version.

Yeah, maybe he would. There's about two examples. But I'm glad they're doing that because it also gets more people interested in reading comics and whatever. It won't. Oh, well then... Yeah. This is for the real hardcore nerds.

Then I'm not glad about this. They've run out of comics. I'm mad, actually. I'm mad about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Nice. What's a classic? Watchman, that's a classic.

That is a classic. What about a V for Vendette? Yes. There you go. And then they, she got her head shaved and she wasn't happy about it. She was like, no. And you might be like, could I just watch the movie of this? Yeah.

Yep, you could. They say that every couple of pages. That's right. Maybe it's pretty good, actually. And it'd be shorter. It'd be shorter. You can stop any time you want. Yeah, yeah.

This guy, it's the guy he realized he's getting paid regardless of how much he records. It's like, you can just stop any time you want. Nope, we're still going. All right. Okay, great. All right, I'm just saying. Yep. Yeah.

Whatever, man. Whatever, man. Doesn't bother me. Yeah. Kind of does. What do you got, oh, you just did that one. That's great. Adrian Zechua

Secua says Now that the season finale of Stranger Things is coming to theaters Are there any series finale And other shows You'd have loved as seen in theaters You both are some cool cats

And I love all you do Thanks I'd also like to For me Yes It's a good question I would love to see some Star Wars You know

Instead of a TV show or movie Oh yes What do you think about that I don't know man Would that ever work? Don't no Have they Star Wars ever been

wildly successful In cinema I doubt it Not recently I know I'd love to see a Mandalorian versus Groglet movie, wouldn't you? Sorry, what was the full question?

Strange things coming to theatres, apparently. What would you want to see as a series that would go to theaters? There was definitely a time when, like, Game of Thrones, like, yeah, I would have loved to have seen some Game of. Now I'm completely indifferent to that. I mean, it's always been a kind of a strange genre, a TV series, and then you bring it to the big screen, like, in terms of what can the, you know, especially now because everything cost $400 million for a season

What can you do on the big screen That that hasn't already achieved Yeah absolutely Besides like And there's a thing of like It has to be for new audiences And also it has to But please old audiences

And that's hard That's why you're bringing Billy Connolly For that X-Files movie X-Files 2 X-Files movie too X-Files movie too X-Files so a dog

Head to a man's body I didn't see that one I saw it Okay Okay well they're doing a peeky blinders movie I guess there's that but I mean if they're not going to and I'm only saying I'm only remembering this

because you mentioned earlier because I thought I didn't have an answer but Mind Hunter would be great because that would just be a movie by what's his name? The Mind Hunter movie. David Fincher? Yeah.

So that would be my answer. But I don't know. I have no problem with streaming shows just existing as streaming shows. Or you know what? Having recently, you know, only recently got into it now that there's five seasons Slow Horses.

I think the Slow Horses movie would be good because it is, you know, for the most, There are some, you know, action set pieces, but it is a small-ish. It's mostly just people in rooms. Help them in a room. Exactly. And Gary Oldman's there and he's like, you can stay in that bloody room.

And then he's like, no, I'll get you out of the room. I'll get you out of the room. Yeah, I'll get you out of the room. But you could do a big. Bigger room. Oh, my God. The size of the rooms, they could do in a, with a theatrical budget. Dude, it'd be crazy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But then does slow, you haven't seen much of Slavis? I haven't know. I got to watch it. I mean, because it does work great as episodic television and do you, because it's about, you know, the MI5 rejects essentially for the team. And it's like, and there is, you know, there's some running about. But do they need a Mission Impossible style big stunt sequence or whatever that a movie could provide them? Probably not.

Like on a train. On a train would be good. But they've been on a train. Okay. They've been on a train. Yeah, they've been on a train. Yeah. I'm just thinking about.

But they've never been on a bus. No, they've been on a bus. Oh, okay. But how would you even? It'd have to be a slow train for the slow horses to be able to catch the slow train. Yeah, that's true. What about slow horse? Puffing Billy.

Slow horse slightly faster train. So there's a little bit of. Yeah. Also, they can't really leave the UK because they don't have any jurisdiction. So I was going to say slow horses in Australia, but what could they even do in Australia? Slow dingoes. Nice. I mean, wouldn't that be interesting to put them out of their jurisdiction?

That would be good, yeah. That's great, actually. They have to fight crime in the outback. Or America. Or American. Which would be more... They have to fight Americans in the Australian Outback? That's exactly right, yes.

Yeah. Cool. They have to fight the guys that were in Kangaroo Jack. In the Outback? In the Outback. Jerry O'Connell and whoever else said that. Jerry O'Connell and the other guy, yeah. Great.

All right. I don't know, man. Slow horses, it is in the Outback. That's right. Slow Horses down under. This is an email from Dylan. Versus Americans. With a return of fallout

and having the unfortunate chance to live in a world with two Ben Countant movies, you know, the accountant and the accountant. Oh, Ben Countant. I'd like to repair over 20 years. years of disservice to the legacy of Walton Goggins by mentioning the Oscar-winning short film The Accountant, released in 2001,

written directed by Ray McKinnon. It's my absolute favorite film, only for its subject matter and dialogue, but also its ability to achieve in 30 minutes of runtime where most fail for two hours. It's thought-provoking, daring and quite funny, and it's on YouTube. Okay.

It's like 38 minutes long. 38 minutes. I'm going to check it out. I'm not made of money. I'm going to put that on my list. How do I spell that? The accountant. You know?

2001. Maybe you should bloody learn to spell accountant and then you bloody wouldn't be in the financial hot water you are. I'm only saying the 38 minute accountant short film and also the trailer. It goes for 33 seconds. So which one is it?

Probably the longer one. The 38 minute one that I said. William Fickner's in this, is he? Nice. Unless this is best of the accountant, the movie. Oh. William Fickner. Why you always tricking me?

William Trickner. Mason, you did one. I'll do this one. Some Koi Wolf, who says in Australia, in Australia, to the hired Santa's that the children get their pictures taken with. They're real Santa. That's real Santa, by the way. Are they sweating profusely under all that hot Christmas?

Yes. I think a lot of them will be sweating regardless. They are, but yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, they're just sweaty by nature. Which is my hip-hop tribute act. Is it? Yeah, sweaty by nature. Also, it was a pain in there to find, also it was a pain in there to find Showtime's a Wake Up Dead Man where you are.

Happy Hot Christmas, my favorite grub, signed Matt Coy. Can it be the official performing arts center manager over the pod? See you? Yes, you can. No, it was all right. It wasn't playing. It was only playing in select theaters. Select theaters.

But it was mostly like an all-day run. It wasn't like one showing a day or whatever. No, you could get there. You could get there, make you and check it out. But yeah, Santa's a, my kids don't like Santa in the shopping centers. I never like Santa either. I mean, either. And also, they're right because that's a stranger.

Absolutely. Like, their instincts are correct. They are very great. So you kind of torn between like, you know, You're right, that's a stranger and like the magic of Christmas. Yeah. You could just sit them down and be like, bearing of mind, that's a normal man. And you can hurt him if you have to. You hand your kid a sharpened screwdriver and be like, listen, listen, buddy.

Yeah. You tell you, you tell the kids that they're going to get all their presents. That's right. And you keep your hands to yourself. Yeah, that's right. And they're going to hurt you. Yeah, regardless of what you do. Even if you're doing a good job.

That's right. Yeah. Merry Christmas, by the way. Yeah, Merry Christmas. There's one more email from Nick. Nick, that's you. No, it's a different guy. It's a different Nick.

Hello, James and Maso. Hello, Nick. The subject line, my partner used to hate you. Oh. Hello, James and Mesa, so in recent weeks, you've read letters from great mates who have significant others who aren't exactly fans of the pod. I'm happy to report my girlfriend used to hate you guys.

Yes. We'd go on road trips and I'd put on the pod, but I'd have to stop it because apparently you boys would give her a headache. But it didn't stop me. Might be unrelated. Yeah, yeah. I showed her the Twilight Caravan and Garbagez. Good choice.

become a bit of a fan. She loves the James reads a review and Mason hopes it isn't Joker series. I was thinking about Joker recently. The movie. Isn't it crazy? Now they're both jokers. Isn't it so fun? Which part? The one was a huge hit and then it was a massive bomb and just... Everybody hated it. Everybody

hated it. Yeah. What a swindle. What a fun swindle from Todd Phillips and Joaquin Phoenix. Spent like $220 million on that second one. It was mostly in a room. Just them just... I bet they would just... It's a room and one explosion. Signing their contract and then like the money came in

wide to them and they're just looking at the eight figures in their bank account and they're like we're going to sing songs and this

and one of others were like what yeah it's all in this one room except for this one scene where we run

down the road and there's a bigger guy yeah can you put the stairs in it yeah maybe yeah god's so good

I liked the audacity of it I'm with you absolutely anytime we watch a movie now we'll watch the caravan of garbage
