The Weekly Planet, the Weekly Planet. Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of The Weekly Planet, the final episode of the year where we took movies and comics and TV shows. My name is James, also known as Mr. Sundade, with me as eyes. I've got a good feeling about this one, Mason. Me too. Because we're so in sync. That's right.

My friend Nick Mason. Nick Mason. He's here too. What are you doing here? I'm here. I'm raring to go. Absolutely you are. I'm up early.

I'm watching Star Wars. You were up late, man. I ate a Keish Lorraine at the train station on the way. way here. Yeah? Yeah. And what did she think of it? I don't know.

Mason. Wow, you've just unsinked this, James. With that... We've got to get back at our big Pacific rib-style podcasting robot. That's right. And meld our minds. Yes. But, you know, we'll do that and then we'll take a break.

Exactly. We'll save the world from podcast portal monsters. Yeah. Whatever. It was whatever. And then we'll take a break. And whatever happened in the second one. And then whatever.

Wasn't it more? There were more and bigger. of that, more of that, Charlie Day and whatever. Yeah. Yeah, et cetera. They're bigger. We thought they were coming out of a portal, but they're coming out of a different portal. There's more of them as time.

And more portals. There's more portals this time. Just to let everybody in up top. We are coming back on February 2nd. Interesting. The whole of January we are taking up. Well, we're not actually taking off because you've got to do work for the things that are coming out. And I've got my regular job also.

And you have to raise kids. I'm jack of it. I'm jack of you having a regular job. Right. And I'm jack of doing this job. No, it's a summertime, school holidays. Let's quit everything. I agree.

After we've saved the world from podcast monsters coming out of a portal, let's quit everything. I'm fine with that. You're fine with that? No, I need the money. Okay, cool.

I got a mortgage and stuff. I've got to come back. But Big Sandwich.com is still running. All that stuff is being recorded. So a video game, Let's Play, bonus podcast, all of that. And also, obviously, the back catalog is there. If you do want to sign up for the month.

Also, there's some big videos coming out, I think. Huge videos coming out. On big box office, bombs and big box office hits. Oh, yeah. They're coming out this week as well. Actually, one will be out by now. and the second one will be, will be up. So Collings and Lawrence are working on those.

Very good. As the crow flies, as the expression goes. They sure do, don't they? This is also the week. We're in sync. We are. This is also the week where we do our weekly planet awards. That's right.

We're through the best and the worst and everything in between of the year. We're talking hair. We're talking two guys playing one guy. We're talking... We're talking the best movie, I guess. Best movie also. We'll probably talk about that. But we've got a little bit of news in the lead up to that.

Not much because we're in that in between. period of the year, between nothing and nothing else. With anything happens, it's not important. It's not important. It doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. But there's time code below if you do want to jump to anything. But let's start with this.

It's a bit of bad news, a bit of sad news. We've got the passing of two acting legends. We got Peter Green, who of course was Zed. In Pul fiction, among other things. He was the villain in the first mask and certainly not the second mask. Dorian. Dorian, that's right. Hall of performance.

I enjoy, just when you needed like a slick, slimy bad guy, You know, it seemed like a, you know, like a genuine New York guy as well. Oh, my God, yeah, absolutely. That's a loss. That's a shame. Yeah, definitely. You know, legendary scenes, legendary, you know, legendary movies. He's also in Training Day.

Is he? I should re-watch Training Day. I was in Blue Street. Yeah. I haven't seen Blue Street. I couldn't speak to that one. Or I have. But yeah, that sucks.

And he's in the Continental, the John Wick spin-off. Oh, is he? The TV show and whatever. Yes. I have not seen that. And I probably won't. Probably just watch some of the other... Probably just watch Pulfiction again.

Pop Fiction's pretty good in the mask. I don't like the mask. You could watch Son of the Mask. You could watch Son of the Mask. Yeah. I'm going to say James Ranson as well. Yeah. Awful.

Both of these are awful. The deaths are awful. He's not awful. No, no, he's not awful. He's in the it. He's one of the adults, loses club. Chapter 2, yeah. He's Ziggy Sabotka in season 2 of the Wire,

which many people consider the best season of the Wire. I haven't seen any of the Wire, but I should do that. You should check out. with you a little bit of time off. So I stop bothering me, kids. I'm going to watch five seasons of the wire, even though the fifth one isn't that great, honestly. Oh, he must be, because he's in Sinister and the Black phone.

Yeah. He was also on an episode of the most recent season of Pokerface. Oh, I didn't finish that. He's two, he's two, there's an episode where two guys kind of scheme to rob like a big box, Walmart, best buy kind of store. And he's like this kind of sketchy, is a sketchy, like, armed robber kind of guy. Oh, okay, good, yeah, yeah.

He was also in Ken, Park, which is the movie that was famously refused classification in Australia. It was like a, what would you call it? It was like a teen, it was like a teen film of teens getting up to, you know, there's a suicide and they get in all sorts of scrapes. And it was refused classification in Australia, which is why David Stratton and Margaret Pomerantz decided to go on a campaign to bring it back. That's what our friend Zach and Lexi's show refused classification is.

Is it? Yes. Have you seen this? Have I seen Ken Park? I've seen some of Ken Park. Okay. But I'm like, eh. It's a bit meandering.

Like, I don't know about this, man. I don't know about this, Ken Park fellow. Yeah. Wait, I'm looking at the cast here. Oh, no, there is a Ken Park. I was like, I don't know if there's a Ken Park even in this. But there is. Yeah.

Well, there you go. Anyway, great. Great and stuff. Yep. That's very sad. That sucks. And I don't care. And I also, I all, these, these happened, you know, in the last couple of weeks.

But I kind of, I was like, I think we should mention these guys. because they, you know, they kind of got overshadowed. Rob Reiner passed away. Well, he was killed. That was very sad. But, you know, don't leave these guys unmentioned, I thought. No, absolutely not. They've done, they've got a great body of work.

And by all accounts, like, just nice. And this is really, this sucks. Yeah. Yeah. But, Mason, you know what doesn't suck. Go on. Avatar 3. Actually, this does suck.

It looks like Avatar 3 is not going to break $2 billion. Not too Billy. Not going to crack two Billy, Mason. The Dewey Billy. I mean, it's still might. Yeah. But it's experiencing a 33% drop second week, which is actually good.

Big drop for big gym. No, that's a small drop. Small drop for big gym. The first one didn't, I think it dropped like 2%. The second one dropped 52%. So it dropped less than that, which is good, but it also didn't do as well in the first week. It's coming up.

It's about 500 million worldwide. So it's probably going to make at least 1.5 billion. Because, again, they stay in cinemas and they tick along, and Marty Supreme cannot stop him. Not stop James Cameron Marty Supreme absolutely will not Stop James Cameron That's not going to happen

So I think any doubts It seems at this point That whether they were going to do a three or four James Cameron was saying like Wow I'll do a press conference And I'll just tell you what the story is If these movies don't go ahead Get me to do it

You could do it Do you can tell you what it was Or you just make it up Probably make it up There's a water guy's a fire guy There's an earth one There's an earth one brown one They're covered in mud and rocks

Yeah, they're like, you'll never be part of our tribe unless you cover yourself in mud and rocks. Yeah, you can't fly the... He's done it. You can't... Jake Sully's covered himself in mud. He somehow tamed the underground birds that we have. That's right.

It's the best. He's done it again. That's two movies. That is to him, and then I leave. I collect my check. So, yeah, this are... This check just says you're fired. Man.

Again, it comes down to, you know, you can't really doubt James' character at this point. He seems to know what he's doing. He sure does. And, you know, this is also an era where you know, the avatar's not going to make or easily make $2 billion like the other ones did

because we just, we don't exist in that time of the universe anymore at the moment. But I mean, it's, you know, it's doing as well as it could be given this. It will probably be, oh, might be the biggest movie of the year. It'll probably be second. After Wicked? No, Wicked's doing okay.

Watch our biggest hits. K-pop Demon Hunters? Yes, that's right. That one that went straight to streaming. Mason, if you thought movies were big, they're about to get even bigger. I didn't think movies were big. They're about to get even bigger

than what you thought. Yeah, that's right. As a guy who didn't think movies were going to get big This is blown my mind Even more so than if I were a guy who thought movies Were going to get bigger But to be clear I'm a guy who didn't think movies were going to get bigger

But now you do it No, still don't No I'm in shock honestly I was going to say How are you going to do this episode I don't think I'm going to crash out All right

I guess I can carry this I am very talented Agreed Says the guy who's never summarised the plot of several unreleased Avatar movies at the behest of Big Chip Cameron. I'm pretty sure I came up with the dirt people. That was my idea. I would have come up with the dirt people.

And the underground bird. I would have come up with the dirt people and I would have already I would have said it's a, we would have called it the mud dragon. Yeah? What do you think about that? Oh, I would have come up with that also. Well, you didn't

do you? Yeah, but you didn't come up with my thing. Yes, I did. I wrote it down a piece of paper and I mailed it to myself. It's this, they've, they've marked the stand. It's got to arrive after my death. Yes, that's right. Yeah. Well, that's great, I guess.

Bullie for you, Mason. Thanks, man. Paramount are still at it. Yeah. So, of course, talking about this, please, if you just want to summarize. Please. There's a video on YouTube, my YouTube, specifically, if you want to check it out, where Netflix bought Warner Brothers, Paramount, which is run by ghouls, different ghoul,

probably worse ghouls. They're not happy about this. So what they've done again, they've made Paramount. Paramount have made another offer of $108 billion to take over, which you might be like, is that similar to their initial offer? I was going to say it sounds quite similar. It's exactly the same. Oh, they just made it again.

No, here's the caveat, though. So Paramount is run by David Allison and his dad is Larry Allison, two ghouls. Yep. And, but this time around says, two cool ghouls? No. Larry Allison has agreed to provide it irrevocable, irrevocable, thank you.

Personal guarantee of 40.4. billion of equity financing for the offer and any damages claims against Paramount. Basically like, no, we mean it. And he and I, same offer, but here's some guarantees that we won't, that you won't lose out. I think you probably should have offered the guarantees first. Well, maybe they didn't want to so they could get out of it. Because that's, that's $40 billion out of their pockets. That's right.

Well, I think that's great. Yeah, well, Larry Allison is also, I don't understand it to be clear. No, he's also worth $240 billion. So he can do this. And the good thing about having that much money is when you die, you can take it with you and you can have better heaven. That's exactly right. Egyptian heaven.

Egyptian heaven, yeah. Obviously. Yeah, he's going to be weighed down with all the gold as he goes into the afterlife. And everyone's going to be like, finally. This great guy is here. I bet the coffee's really good too. I bet it's better. Yeah, the little, tiny little.

Tick, it's a thick coffee. Oof, yes, please. So it's coming out of some sort of earthenware jug. Oh, really? Goodness. Yeah. That's interesting. So Warner Brothers Discovery said,

its board will carefully review and consider Paramount Skydown's offer. That's a statement from Warner Brothers, but also they're sticking with the deal, it seems, at the moment, with Netflix. But you throw enough money at people, and this could definitely shift. Not us, though. No, we would never. Just try it. Yeah.

Just try it. See how much money you could throw on us. Yeah, see how much. Yeah. Start in the low billions. Yeah. See how you go. We take millions.

Thousands. Throw a few thousand dollars. No, we wouldn't. We wouldn't, though. No, we wouldn't know. You wouldn't even, not even work it. Just send us as a joke The amount of money that you would not even care about

Like six figures We'll laugh and laugh and laugh And laugh and laugh To be clear it has to be a real offer Yeah yeah yeah Otherwise it's not funny But we would laugh and laugh and laugh Yeah, you know

Yeah, that's right And we wouldn't disappear No, no We wouldn't just disappear We certainly wouldn't disappear With not enough money to live the rest of our lives That would be stupid That would be stupid

it. And we wouldn't do it. We wouldn't do it. Mason, yes, trailers, ahoy. We finally got the official release of one of the Avengers Doomstay teasers. We talked about last week. Oh, yes, that's right. It's the Steve Rogers one where he's like,

I'm Steve Rogers, I'm back. There's a lot of silence in this trailer for it. I've got to drive, I've got to get on my big motorcycle. Yeah. I've got to go to a house. I've got to look at my uniform. I've got to look at my baby. Or a baby, yeah. Yeah. People are like, this is a commercial for a motorcycle? Kind of.

Yeah. Kind of in a way. I bet Triumph sold a few motorcycles this week. No, you're not wrong. Well, wasn't that famously, that was McQueen's motorcycle. Was it? In The Great Escape. He stole it from Stephen McQueen?

I think he probably stole it from Stephen McQueen. And that's why that character couldn't, in this universe, he couldn't make the Great Escape. He couldn't make the Great Escape. He couldn't, could he do a good escape? That's stolen Valor right there. Could he do a good escape? No, he did a bad escape. He couldn't steal the skateboard from Marty McFly, even though that was 10 years after?

I guess he could, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The OK Escape. The OK Escape. Maybe Steve Rogers left him One of those Hydra guns that she used blue lasers He could great escape with that

I think he'd probably great escape with that The Incredible escape Yeah, that's right Also I guess in the Great Escape spoiler Although Steve McQueen doesn't great escape But maybe because he got his bike swapped Yeah You left him a bunch of eggs

Does that mean anything? I don't know what that means Really? Yeah interesting Who made all the eggs? Was it Paul Newman? It was Paul Newman that was in Cool Hand Luke It was a different movie and man Well guess what?

I thought that's what you were doing Steve Rogers didn't he was in the ice when cool hand Luke came out so he's confused he probably would be yeah his brain is riddled with shards of ice still to this very day and lead and lead yeah uh you probably saw mason but there's a the second one has leaked it's for thor i didn't see it but i'm aware it's leaked which is just as good i've got a daughter now and bring me make me do a big warrior time and whatever sure rumor is who's he talking to there i don't know god or whatever whoever god is he's god oh yeah no he's dad who's god also but he's dead no but he can still talk to blokes

Natalie Portman went to heaven in that movie or whatever That's true, but yeah We didn't see Odin In that heaven, yeah Maybe he's busy Maybe he's busy Maybe he's busy He's in heaven with Larry Allison

Some people have speculated Oh good heaven in Egypt Some have speculated That this This plot is involving All the children being stolen Oh okay Like you know they steal

They'd still Franklin Richards That's a good point They'd steal Chris Evans' kid They'd steal Thor's kid But then they did that in Thor love Thunder. Did they? Yeah, that's about

getting kids stolen. Oh yeah, but it wasn't his kid. He got his kid at the end from Christian Bale. Correct, yes. Yeah. He stole Christian Bail's kid. That's true, he did. Yeah. Ant Man's got a kid, I guess. Yeah, but she's also a young Avenger. I don't know if that one counts. Too old doesn't count. Too old doesn't. Thor's son with his

stupid haircut, not Thor. Hawksson. We don't know how old that guy is. Yeah, he could be 40. Could be four. Could be four, yeah. We don't know. Yeah. The next one is rumored to be an X-Men one. I've heard that also. Your Cyclopses and your whatever

Professor X's and so yeah Which wouldn't surprise me And the last one was also rumoured to be A Dr. Doom one But that might not be It might be something else We'll talk about it when we come back from break Very exciting

This is in the lead up to a real trailer None of this, you stole my kid trailer nonsense That's right Which I'm not enjoying Oh you stole my kid while I was looking at this other kid We can all look at kids Get over it We've got stuff going on

Also this is interesting Yes You better be Get ready Brase yourself You better brace yourself Why? Why am I bracing myself? Because you said this is going to be good

And it better be good It is going to be good Because you've got to brace yourself You're going to brace yourself Dune 3 Yes Has the same release date Of December 18th, 2026

As Doomsday As Avengers Dooms day People are saying Dune's day People are saying Barbenheimer or whatever again But I think what's interesting about this is These aren't these are more equivalent Than Barbenheimer

They are aren't they This is the same kind of This isn't a fun But do you think somebody is attempted to engineer this? Do you think some emails and some phone calls and some meetings have happened? So they can be like, what if we did this together and it's a real spike for movie going? But also, you're right, it's not Barbie and Oppenheimer were like polar opposites. So it was fun to kind of, you know, play them off against it.

Let's go see both, see how we feel kind of thing. But this is just like, all right, war versus more war, I guess. I guess somebody's going to turn to a big wheym. That's true. A warm. June 2, part two, part two, whatever this is. one is yeah book two but it's june three the movie correct is yeah uh i mean bloomberg is saying that doomsday will be the biggest movie of 2026 which is possible uh very

possible but i don't know maybe because they're both coming out in that december period you know they can just both kind of exist sure if any of the move i feel like it will be it will be dune june might move yeah but a big dean move yeah so but no no we'll see i don't know we'll see what are you going to see first i feel like avengers is more of a spoiler one You've got to see that first. That'll be front-loaded. Yeah, uh-huh. And Dune is more of a...

100%. You took the words out of my mouth, James. Well, you got anything else to say? But I could have said them. I could have said them. I could have said them. Yeah, yeah, you say a lot of things could be said. But you were already talking.

And famously, I don't talk over you, so I couldn't get in there. But I would, yeah, no, you're right. Doomsday will be spoiled instantly. Yeah, it'll be all over X. It'll be spoiled during the first screening of it in the world. Mark Ruffalo will screen it on his phone. It's right. It's right.

What like you did last time. Yes, exactly. Yeah. So you've got to get in quick for that one. Absolutely. You've got to know who the cameos are. Who is it? Peggy Carter's there.

Peggy Carter. Professor X, not Gene Gray apparently. Not Gene Gray. Probably dead. Yep. Who else? Magnet. Mr. Magnet will be there.

Fantastic man. Stretch around. Come on, man. Rock beard. They're regular characters now. Baby. They don't count as cameos. They won't count as cameos for easily three or four years.

So even McGuire's. Spider-Man happy now we're talking tofa grace's venom tofa grace's venom i watched to you thought i was dead but i went to another dimension like a blast in another dimension the blast sent me to another dimension my son and i actually we watched spider man three together and he was like didn't love that which i thought was interesting did you did he watch spider man one and two he did yeah which he really liked in particular this wasn't another of your schemes where you just showed him three for some reason i love schemes you know that more than anybody i didn't i also didn't tell him because he's been playing the spider man PlayStation games i didn't

tell him that Venom was in it. I was like, black suits in this. That's all I said. So he was like, whoa, Venom's in this. Then he was like, uh. Is he though? He said, hmm. He likes Venom.

Yeah. He likes him. He's like, I like this guy. And I'm like, well, he's a bad guy. Your son said, I'd like to be Venom. He said, what he said. Yeah. Yeah.

And then he did the rap from Venom. He did, yeah. And I said, young man, I think what you want to be is Eminem, the rapper Eminem. Yes, that's right. And I'll allow it. You can do that. That's right. Yeah.

All right. We also got a trailer officially released for The Odyssey, which is Christopher Nolan's next sci-fi epic. Wait a minute, Mason. What have I done there? You silly goose. What have I done? You silly goose.

What have I done, though? I don't know, honestly. Realistically, I don't know. At a stretch, I could say you've confused fantasy and sci-fi, but I don't know. I don't know what you've done. The most, the controversial thing about this trailer apparently. Helmets?

Helmets and armour, apparently, because the people have said this should be if this is taking place during the Bronze Age this isn't what any of the arms and armour looked like

they look like big gold worms Yeah Have you seen these guys See an actual bronze age armour I don't look at it They look like bullets But Nolan has gone with

A very much like Your traditional You know Something you expect to say Yeah you clash of the title Oh man These guys do look like bullets Yeah

This is stupid Well see that's the thing You look like you're in a dress That's stupid Because Christopher Nolan Isn't going to accidentally Use the wrong arm Absolutely not

Right He's made a choice here Also very clearly This is a fantasy movie There's a goblin Cyclops in this trailer There is something Yeah

There's some guy Crawling out of dirt or something Yeah some guy There's running about There's a wooden horse If you can believe that I cannot Where do you get these things from

Mason Yeah Yeah I've seen people say on the internet, well, when this tale was retold in the past, they would sort of contemporise it as well. So like even in ancient times, when they retold the story a few hundred years later. Everyone was on the gritty. Everybody was on the gritty, but they were in the, they were in the armor of that, that contemporary time. So you obviously wouldn't do this with them in, like,

you know, World War II suits or whatever, but that's also because he did Dunkirk. Absolutely. So he did that already. But I'm, I think. I don't know. I'm no expert, James. I don't care. It's not going to affect my... I'm not saying this will even be good. It'll probably be pretty good, but... It's about the story.

It's about the story and whether we're not this Cyclops is... I think I... 100% they had a meeting or multiple meetings where they're like... And also, apparently, they spoke to a guy about making the traditional Bronze Age armor and then they didn't get back to him or something. I think they had a meeting... Didn't get back. They ghosted it, apparently.

That's hilarious. I think they had definitely had a meeting where they went, here's what all the characters will look like, Here's all the actors will look like in Bronze Age armour. Yeah. And they went, people would just be talking about the armour. Yeah. The entire, they'll be like, these are the, what are these guys?

Well, these guys, the bullets in who framed Roger Rabbit, that's a. They're not. No, I didn't think so. They're famed actors Matt Damon and Tom Holland and other. And Hathaway. And Hathaway is there. John Berenthold. Yes.

Yeah, exactly. So I think they went, let's use armours that bring to light Greek, you know, ancient Greek stuff. And who cares? And who cares? also that guy's got like the gold spine coming off his helmet? That's crazy. Nothing wrong with that.

Nothing wrong with that. I've heard this looks 3D printed. Well... So do you. Your face looks 3D printed. Damn, he was like Rob Patterson when he was 3D printed in that movie. That's what you look like.

Christopher Nolan said this. As a filmmaker, you're looking for gaps in cinematic culture. Things that have... You could probably say this because you probably said this first. Almost certainly, yeah. Things that haven't been done before. We're most steepling our figures.

Because that's what you do when Christopher Nolan is saying something. It's true. And what I saw is that all of this great mythological cinematic work that I'd grown up with, Ray Harrahous and movies and other things, that other things that he could name probably. You could absolutely name. I've never seen that. Sartre.

John Paul Sartre. I've never seen that done with the sort of weight incredible. Francois Truffauts. I've watched them. Just something in black and white perhaps. Something in black and white. You wouldn't have heard of it. But I've seen it.

I've never seen that done with the sort of weighted credibility that an A budget and a big Hollywood IMAX production could do. You never heard of wrath and clash of the Titans, man? Come on, man. We just looked at them. Yeah. Man. You're not watching our videos, Christopher Nolan.

I mean, he probably said this a couple of weeks ago, and those videos weren't out yet. By now, he's probably like, oh, I've made a mistake. I've made a mistake, actually. What's Sam Worthington up to this week? I'll get him back. Nothing. He's not doing it. anything yeah he made a lot of money from those avatar

that's right yeah so there you go he picked the wrong avatar Christopher Nolan picked the wrong avatar guy boy did he uh um big Jim Cameron I think recently has said that was fake that Matt Damon never got that deal we should talk about the deal I guess he was gonna get 10%

1% or something of the box office gross or something like five yeah right so some hundreds of millions of dollars James Cameron was like no yeah no as if as if keep dreaming Matt Damon it was probably a conversation that they just kind of loosely had. Maybe there wasn't an official offer.

Anyway, now he's doing the old odyssey. He's doing the fight of cyclops. I wonder if any of this stuff is like the fantasy stuff is like in the retailing and it's not really what happened. Yeah, maybe, yeah. Because what's the twist, Mason, you know? Is this movie backwards? I don't know.

What's the twist? Is it upside down? It's the sound like, br-r-blah-blah-blah. And so on. Yeah. So there you go. Yeah. Because we see a little snippet.

You point it out. What is presumably the cyclops? Yeah. It's got a big. It's got a big round-head. you saw it in the actual iMac screening you can see it oh and it goes boo and that's the twist that's probably the twist that the voices of the cyclops is not quite what you expect yeah boo boo and that's all the news that you could use i could use i could use also absolutely again it's in that weird

period of time when nothing's happening yeah luckily we've got a million billion awards to give out that's right let's do them now let's do them now all right here we go here we finally got here we had to get through all these fucking movies and and stuff and movies watching stuff looking and stuff precious memories riffs and jokes and stuff

say a movie's pretty good then you think about it later and you're like wasn't that good yeah sometimes you're like this movie wasn't that good and then you think about it later

and you're like this was bad but I said it was the best movie ever and that's going to be an albatross around my neck for the rest of my life I'd be like what of that one time you said that movie was okay

I don't know man I don't know what you're talking about honestly I've already forgotten it's been a week it certainly has yeah because you're about Avatar 3 Yeah, no, that was pretty good

I didn't mind it It's pretty good Wow, so we just want to say Thank you so much to everybody who voted Almost 4,000 listeners That's right, according to more than that now According to Rob Collings, who's one of the greats He told me

He told me Go on That, oh my God, it says Are you Anonymous Chameleon? No, what? Oh, because there's documents open I don't think so Someone called Anonymous Camelian

It's not me Oh my God Do you make that public How do you find stuff on Google Drive? I didn't make this public Huh I would never make this public. Who's this guy then?

Could be Collings. Could be. Collings, let us know if you're an anonymous chameleon. Yeah. Yeah. Otherwise, we're being hacked. Maybe this is the results have been hacked. Do you think these results have been hacked?

Yes. No, I don't care. Do you care? No, no really. Yeah. So, in terms of voting, thank you so much. A lot of people contributed. You know, we get more votes in.

Big prize. Too late this year, though. Yeah, you're right. And too late for next year also. Like, we'd have to organize a big prize. Can you imagine even thinking about what that would even look like? How do we ship a car to America? where probably the winning photo would be.

And it'd be the wrong way around, like the steering wheel being on the side. Yeah, people don't know, but in Australia, there's no glass in a car. Yeah, that's true. At all. Yeah. Because we never figured out that frozen air technique. We put all the glass and a half in Cabri Derry, Merrill, Chocolate. So that happened.

Yeah, no, and they'd have to pay taxes on the car and everything. So let's not do that. Don't worry about it. Just vote normally for nothing. Hypothetically, we could get more votes if we did that. My God, there's so many topics here, Mason. So many topics. So we're going to start with best comic book movie.

Right. We got Captain America Brave New Bird, The Fantastic Four Fourth First Steps. Red Sonia haven't seen it. Superman saw that one. Thunderbolt's asterix. The Old Guard, too, haven't seen it. And the toxic Avenger haven't seen it.

Wow. What is your favorite comic book movie of the year, Mason? For me, it's between probably Superman and Thunderbolts. Same. Yeah. I'm going to say Superman because he was nice. I also want to say Superman. Yeah.

I mean, look. I did really like Thunderbolts. I like Thunderbolts. I think they, I mean, you know, Like a number of Marvel movies, they do a lot of stuff in name only, and sometimes that works out and sometimes it doesn't. I like the themes of it. I like the fact that they were all the rejects.

I like the fact that the movie didn't end with everybody just shooting each other. Yes. But I thought they really flattened out the century, a character that is probably impossible to do in the movies anyway. Sure, yeah, yeah. And they probably shouldn't have given it a try. Well, they did, Mason. Whether you like it or not.

And he'll be in Doomsday and Secret Wars probably depowered for most of it. and I love that. That's good. But I thought Superman was a lot of fun. Absolutely. Superman's my pick. I mean, what a great lead performance as well. Is it interesting?

We didn't think about Fantastic Four at all. I mean, I liked it. But I would rate that of the ones I've seen. Third, I'd put it above Brave New Bird. But again, I haven't seen Red Sogna of the Old Guard 2, which is apparently terrible. Yeah, I did. And the Toxic Avenger, which apparently is not bad. Yeah.

Yeah. I like the Old Guard 1, but the Old Guard 2 didn't finish it. Yeah. I feel like there is a big game. gap between the Fantastic Four and Captain America, though. Oh, yeah, no. That is definitely close to Thunderbolts. And again, I think maybe we talked about this when we recorded a video recently,

just some of the concept art that came out for Captain America, when it was going to be Serpent Society, and there's like a whole team of cool snake-themed cyborgs and just a bunch of awesome stuff. And they got Giancarlo Esposito with a knife instead, which is fine. I like him. Yeah, give him a snake robot costume. Why didn't he have a robot arm? Or a rattly tail or something.

I don't know, man. Crazy. Anyway, what did the listeners think? The listeners agreed. They thought he should have had a snake robot arm. Agree with you. But also they gave Superman the number one position with 72%. Then it was Thunderbolts at 18%.

And Fantastic 4 at 9%. So we are in lock and step. Lock and step. Let's do this one, Mason. Go on. Best comic book series. These are TV shows or streaming shows as they now call them. Oh, yes.

Oh, do you want to read them out? Do you want to do some work for once? Nope. and why change now but I'll do it God Creature Commandos Saw it

Dead Evil Born again Ice of Wakonda Didn't say it GenV season 2 Saw it Harley Quinn season 5 I didn't know There was 5

Season 5 until like yesterday I'm like I mean I like that show too Invincible season 3 Saw it Ironheart Didn't say it Peacemaker Season 2

Saw it Marvel Zombies Didn't say it The Sandman Season 2 Didn't watch it Revival Don't know what that is What is that

Don't know what it is And your friendly Neighbidwood Spider Man I read the comment for that. Okay. Is it called regular Spider-Man comics? Regular Spider-Man Adventures.

No, it's set in between certain parts of the show. Oh. Revival is a, oh, it's got a 90%. What, it's like a zombie show? Oh my God. I should watch this. Based on what, image comics? Dark Horse.

Based on Steve Ogg is in it. Steve Ogg. It's a Stephen King something. Oh, okay. There you go. A lot of Stephen King stuff this year. I suppose you could say that about every year. That's true.

you probably could. Sudden resurrection of recently diseased becomes known as Revival Day and then blah blah blah etc. Wow. I should maybe watch this. I'm going to say controversial James

or possibly not. I think I liked Ironheart the most. I got to watch that. I liked Invincible Season 3 because it had the conquest thing which was great which I was really looking forward to. Daredevil I really liked as well actually.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Given that how finally it was chopped and unc. Yeah. Surprising Yeah Peacemaker's season two

Kind of lost me at the end Yeah That was a real Game of Thrones situation Yeah It wasn't even terrible Yeah yeah yeah yeah I was expecting a bit more I think Sandman season two

I tried I gave it a few minutes And I'm like a few minutes Well I really like the first season But then since all the Neil Gaiman stuff came out Yeah of course I just like I don't want to watch this

And not that other people did work on it And whatever I understand that But it just really is like this sour kind of GenV season two I didn't even mind had a good, interesting villain. Again, something they had to really do a lot of alterations on. Oh, yeah, of course.

It was Chance Podomo. Yes, it was a lot. Awful. Yeah. Chris Commanders was all right. Yeah. But anyway, I liked Dominic Thorne as Ironheart. I like seeing Alden Aaron Wright.

You like the suit, yeah? I did like the suit. I did like the suit. I did like the suit. Yeah, yeah, because it was junk and that's fun. I like that she just lost it all and had to start again. I think that was, you know. Yeah.

That was a lot of fun. She's got a, I think we mentioned, she's got an AI that's, you know, her recollection of her best friend. I thought that was an interesting, you know, to change it from just like, oh, it's Iron Man, and he's got a, he's got an assistant that just agrees with him all the time. I thought it was nice to have a little flip from that and the devil's in it. Oh, great. Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah, yeah, finally. Finally.

A revival wasn't, this is an image comics. It's not a Stephen King. Stephen King had a different thing called Revival, I think. Oh, okay. There we go. But the listeners. What are they doing, Mason? They're saying, third peacemaker,

Anonymous gopher is this guy's... Yeah, says an anonymous gopher. They've changed it, Mason, right now. Maybe it's me and you. I don't think so. But anyway, the listener said, a third peacemaker with 20%... Now it says Anonymous Rhino.

My goodness. Maybe it just picks, maybe Google drive. I bet there's people listening to this and go, you idiots, we know what this is. Yeah, and we're hacking you. Don't hack it. So, a third peacemaker season, to a 20%

second Dead Devil born again 24% first Invincible season 3 28% that makes

a lot of sense I'm cool with all of that do you agree Mason but you said Ironhart

I am a little tired of endless smashing yeah of course you know fair enough yeah

oh here's a big oh this is a big oh this is a great episode I mean Pipers contract are you right am I think

I think we should what do you think I think I think for morale's sake, we should start saying, this is a great episode. This is a great episode. This is a great episode. This is Collings' idea, I think.

A new award for the surprising amount of actors playing two or more roles in a single movie or show this year. Best One Guy Playing Two Guys. David Corencewe. There are some spoilers in this. Oh, we should say all of this is spoilers. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Everything that came out this year.

Hmm. Go. Starting off with a big spoiler, David Corencewe, plays two roles in Superman. He plays Superman and Superman got hit in the head. That's exactly right. Michael B. Jordan in sinners. Yep. Dylan O'Brien in a show called Twinlis.

I'm just looking at that's up now. I don't know what this is. El Fanning, of course, is two characters in Predator Badlands. Two robots. Louis Ozawa is two roles in Predator Killer of Killers. He's also in Predators. Ah.

And that's, he plays the descendant of his characters from Killer of Killers. Oh, my God. Robert De Niro and Alto Knights. I'm Robert De Niro. Make me an offer that I can refuse. And I'll give it to my brother. I'm in my brother. My clone, my clone brother.

Robert Pattinson I'm Mickey 17 I'm Mickey 17 And I'm Mickey 18 Make me an offer Nice Yeah Nice

Lewis Pullman in Thunderbolts Interesting, okay Yeah Was there two of him in The Void At one point No but he's the century And he's the void But he's also three guys

Because he's also Robert Reynolds That's a good point No I know I make good points Theo James in The Monkey He was wasn't he Meagoth in Frankenstein She was almost going to have

Three roles Wait who was she twice in Prangite She is Oscar Isaac's mother and she's also... Yeah, she's Oscar Isaac's mother in the opening sequence and she is the love interest. Yeah, well, that one I knew.

You could have started with the love interest and then it would have been. I wanted to make you seem like the fool for as long as possible. Well, you got me a big time now. That's right. Yonis Kibriab in Ilya. Just Eelio? No, I do want to say it because apparently it's all right.

Everyone in Peacemaker's Season 2. Of course, alternate Nazi dimensions. There we go and everyone in Severance season 2. Wow, because your brain goes twice to work. Okay, this is a time. tough one, I think. I've already, I already know. Okay.

It's Michael B. Jordan. And I think it's not only the performance. It's that it's a good movie. It's a good movie and also the way that they seamlessly interact. Incredible, like, special effects. And again, and the performance is also good. They're passing cigarettes to each other. That's true.

It's amazing. But does one ever have to pretend to be the other one, James, and trick everyone? So actually, Michael B. Jordan is playing smoke. He's also playing stack. I don't think so. What are you talking about? Everyone in Severance Season 2. Yeah, good point, I guess.

It would be that, and then I would say Severance Season 2. Severance Season 2 also has the sequence where we get Adam Scott talking to himself. Talking to himself on video. That would have been a heck of a thing. And you have to have to have characters who are out in the real world, but it's the in-y characters out in the real world. They have to pretend to be the outside characters and vice versa. Yep.

And we also had to remember who everyone was. It would have been nine years between seasons. Yeah, I didn't know any of them. I'm going to say, for me, it's everyone in Severance. Yeah, that's probably fair. And some of the listeners agree. But I'm still going to say... Michael B. Jordan?

Yeah. Well, you are correct, James. Michael B. Jordan and Michael... You are objectively correct because the listeners at number one have said Michael B. Jordan in Sinners. And in second place, Robert Pattinson and Mickey 17. And then third, everyone in Severance, season two. I think a big part of why I didn't, I overlooked Mickey 17 is because I enjoy those

other two things more than Mickey 17. Michael B. Jordan got 54% as well. He crushed that. He stormed it in, yeah. Oh, my God. God, they should have got Michael Jordan and Michael B. Jordan. That would have been a real sinners. Yeah. Best hair or wig. This is our favorite section, Mason, of the show. Oh, my God. Okay, here we go. Amy Madigan, who's Aunt Gladys in weapons. Terrifying. Daniel Craig and Wakeup

Dead Man. Floppy. Frank Grillo and Peacemaker Season 2. Tall. And that's good. Yeah. It's good. Joe Keary in Stranger Things Season 5. Mullet. Classic. Classic. Jonathan Bailey and Wicked for Good. Yep Luthan in Andor season two Double wigs He's got his wig And then he's got his lusen wig

Matt Smith and court stealing Is that a wig or? I don't think it is I think he did it Wow Yeah Nathan Phillyen and Superman That's funny stuff

Collings Nicholas Holt and Superman That's funny stuff Collings Shea Wiggum in Mission Impossible Final Reckoning Not a wig though No that's incredible here But I mean you know

Did he do any advancement He did win last year didn't he He did well he won in my house Wow. The Thing in Fantastic Four, Rockbeard. Yeah, that was cool. Timothy Oloffin in Alien Earth. I do like his blonde hair, bleached eyebrows.

Wow, man. This is a tough lineup. I really like Daniel Craig's hair this year. Interesting. Just as a unique look for him as well. It is. To me, it feels a little dangerous. The Daniel Craig one.

Like you get a cord in something. Yeah. Like a pool, you know, like a pool filter. Yeah, like a pool filter. Yeah, like a pool filter and rip his hair off. It feels to me, like it. he's, because he's just trying out a new look, and I like that. Okay, yeah, that's true. Both in real life and the character.

I mean, Frank Grillo, it's always been good, Joe Keary again. Have we ever given it to Joe Keary? And if we gave it to him now, would it be a lifetime achievement award? I think it might be a lifetime achievement award. And is he ever going to be able to get it again. Yeah, good. Is he going to keep this hair for a long time? Or is he like, well, I'm not stranger things anymore. Yeah. I'm going to shave it right back. Good point. We don't know. I, Jonathan Bailey's hair is good. Yes. It's suitable for his role.

It's a piece on the top, yeah. Yeah, but I mean, it's not. It's not. It's not rocking my world. No. Luthan, ridiculous. Yeah, his foppish wig is ridiculous. I can't believe the Andal season two came out this year. That's crazy.

It's crazy. Yeah. I mean, I really like the thing with a beard as well. Yeah. But, you know, it's computer. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Timmy Olfant's a good look. Looks like a man going through a crisis.

Was Andrew Garfield in a movie this year? Definitely. Yes. That's good hair. I agree. Amy Madrigan, that wig is horrible. And then she's got the stringy wig makeup underneath, so that's good. I'm going to say Daniel Craig.

All right then. I like that he's just trying something out. Yeah. Did you, I read this this week. Yeah. He has 43 lines in the new Knives Out movie and he got paid $50 million. He only has 43 lines. Apparently, some of them pretty long lines.

How much are you paid? $50 million. Fuck. That's a Chris Hemsworth amount of money. Chris Hemsworth loves a $50 million. Yeah. Chris Hemsworth's always getting a $50 million. Now we know where the Knives Out production budget went.

Daniel Craig's hair and a $50 million I'm going to give it to Frank Grillo to prove that you can do the Hawkeye hair and make it work if you're Frank Grillo Is it the Hawkeye hair?

It is the Hawkeye hair It's not as the short as on the side as the Hawkeye hair Well people are telling me Mason that at number three We got Joe Kiry and Stranger Things Well second Daniel Craig I mean that's 15 and 16%

For those two But Nathan Philian Stormed in At number one with 17% And you know what that tells me What's that? This is a very even spread If our top three, 15, 16, 17, 70%.

It also tells me that I think potentially a lot of our listeners have Nathan Philean in Superman hair. Oh, okay. Have the ball cut, I think. That's probably true also. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, he's another one of our big faves, James. Love it, love it, love it.

This is worst hair. Also, people can not possibly know this, but Rob Collings puts in photos of all the hair. Oh, yeah, so if you're doing this quiz, quiz, whatever it's called. Now, worst hair all wig. Chris Pratt in the electric state. He's got a sort of shaggy.

I hate it. Hate it. I don't hate it. I'll tell you I don't hate it. George Clooney and Good Night and Good Like. It's just his regular hair. It's a little longer and it's Jet Black. But he's also dyed his eyebrows.

He has died his eyebrows, yes. Yeah. Harrison Ford without a mustache in Captain America 4. Big, bold move that I didn't like. Jack Champion, that's Spider in Avatar Fire and Ash, White Man dreadlocks. Loving it. Jason Momoa in a Minecraft movie. He's got the Mullet.

also blonde blonde tips That's an atrocious photo of him as well Absolutely Jesse Eisenberg For not committing to previous Now you see me here Thank you for Collings Disappointing

You have the classic Daniel Atlas hair Yeah Which is his flupin Zack effron Early Zach Effron here Mark Wahlberg in Flight Risk He's got the severely receding hair there Severely that's he doesn't have hair

No he's gone It's gone Sean Penn in one battle after another That's awful That's a fucking horrible haircut On a horrible head Tom Cruise in Mission impossible final reckoning, specifically the point

where he's on the biplane and the wind makes him look like he's mow from the three stooges? Yes. I didn't like his hair in general either. Even though they kept telling us in the movie that it's good hair. Because people would compliment him. But then he's standing next to Shea Wiggum.

He's like, you killed my dad. My dad's John Voigt. We tied it all together. This is seamless. You stole the rabbit's foot from John Hoy. And then Hawkeye again in Avengers Endgame. Thank you for throwing that in. Oh, I think Sean pens for me

in one battle after another, just awful. You know, when he licks it, he licks his hand? No, he licks the comb and he does it. He licks the comb and he combs it down. Ugh, unpleasant. Yeah. I didn't see flight risks, so I don't know how that hair performs, you know, in a 90-minute period.

I mean, the real flight risk is Tom Cruise on that plane. That's true. Doesn't he have, doesn't he have a wig? If we're going to hat. We're going to hat, right. This is a, that's a Mel Gibson directed movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, Harrison Ford without a mustache is disappointing.

Hmm. I also think, for me, Jesse Eisenberg, I didn't see Now You See Me Three No And maybe one day I'll see now you see me three When it's free Doesn't it also

It doesn't tell you that the character is evolved And don't you find that interesting No but see here's the thing I don't know how that would alter my perception Of the character of Daniel J Atlas If you know Over the course of an entire movie I'm going to be like

This is Jesse Eisenberg Or does he pull it It's the charisma Of Jesse Eisenberg still pull it off I don't know Daniel Jatlus you say Daniel Jatlas I mean Sean

I guess what's interesting about, because do you go, this is always the one we spend the most time on, like something like George Clooney's right. It looks terrible, but it's for a play. Yes. And then you've got like Spider, the same. It's like an intentional look. Yeah. But then you've got like, and there's one like the Mark Warburg one, I'm sorry, it's supposed to look bad.

Yeah. But the Sean Penn one, it's supposed to be unpleasant and it is. So is it better to pick something that's supposed to be cool that's awful? Right. Or pick something that's intentionally. I see what you're saying, right, right, right. Because we could give it to Hawkeye again. Yeah, that here is supposed to make him look like he's some sort of rogue samurai.

Oh, yeah. But it does not work at all. And it will never work. Yeah, I'm good, look, I'm still going to, I'm still going to to Sean Pan. I think I'm going to, I'm with you, man. Because it's, it's, so unpleasant. It's unpleasant, and they've clearly spent a lot of time to be like, what's the worst? And it's all, it's the performance.

Like you said, the licking and the brushing and. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a part of the character. I mean, these are all part of the character, but it's part of the performance, I would say. Like, Chris Pratt's hair in the electric state, you might love or hate it. I think it's all right, I think it's all right.

But it doesn't matter. No, it doesn't matter. And he does change it during the movie. Yeah, right. Remember the electric state, a movie that came out this year? I don't remember that. I said yes, when you said remember he changes it, but I don't remember that he changes it.

Yeah, you get the hair cut in a cave or whatever. That's great. Let's see what the people say. Let's see what the real people say. They're telling us that Mark Wahlberg got a 10%. They're telling us that. that Jason Mamawa got a 16% and Carmen in hot.

We might have to retire this, Mason. It's Hawkeye again at Avengers Endgo. No, no, that's fair. I think it's fair. But do you think we have to retire it for next year? No. Because it's just got a storm every year? Well, that's fine.

Yeah, you're right. Yeah. Is it that bad a haircut where we're including this one every year? Maybe it's just been, because it's been six years. Is the distance making me fond of the haircut? Fond of the haircut. I mean, maybe, but what we have to find, like, Hollywood needs to provide us with a hair.

That is worse than that that takes over. The next big bad hair cut has to be so bad that we forget about Hawkeye. And I think somebody can do it. Absolutely. You know? Yeah, yeah. All right. All right.

Oh, this is a good one, Mason. This is a fun one. Okay, this is the award for the most normal man of the year. Who's been the most normal this year, just a normal man doing normal things. Oh, yes. Okay, boy, a lot of contenders. The most contenders ever, probably? Maybe.

Bill Burr after doing the Riyadh comedy festival lost his mind That was really disappointing Not the fact that he did it honestly It's just the fact that he's like Yeah shut up Exactly yeah What did you think was going to happen

Yeah exactly And it was also like Someone who's escaped criticism Jim Owen also did it Did he really? He did it Fuck he wouldn't have got much for it either I reckon he got a million dollars

No way I reckon he got half a million dollars I think And people like How did Jim Owen get there I bet there's an expat, an Australian expat in Riyadh, who's responsible for this and he went, I love Jumel and let's get him in.

Yeah. But honestly, if he was just like, yeah, I did it for money, I'd be like, all right. But just, and the bit about where he was like, I'm not going to pick him, but the bit where he was like, and I went over there and they had like a Starbucks and a whatever. Yeah. He's like, I don't know, I thought they'd be shouting death to America.

First of all, like, if you thought that. They had all the wallpaper of regular, regular society. I thought it was fine. If you thought they were going to be shouting death to America, Which is crazy. Why would they hire you? Yeah, why would you even go? Right.

So, anyway, I don't know. I went there and they were, all the people I encountered said how great it was over there. Okay, yeah, Bill Burr. David Harbour's off-screen antics. I mean, he does seem like, I think he has bipolar. He's going through something. Yeah. Everybody is going through something at all.

I'd rather stay away from it, quite frankly. David Zazlav, gutting Warner Brothers. I mean, that's, he's been doing that for years. And it's paid off. But this is old news, man. This is old news to us. I mean, do another trick, David Zazab. Do something else normal.

Yeah. David Ellison's hostile. This is what I'm talking about, man I said. This feels new. That's right. Dean Kane, not understanding Superman. That is funny. Donald Trump in his menagerie of normal men.

Jared Lido forcing himself onto Tron Aries. Well, he did make it happen. Jeff Bezos and all his wedding guests. I would also say Jeff Bezos and trying to get his wife to be in a James Bond movie. Is that this year? Yeah, we'll maybe save that if that happens. Oh yeah, for sure. Mr. B's various business ventures

Love it, love how he made that really shit theme park He did he did all those crimes I don't like, don't care for those Yeah Quentin Tarantino rage baiting in interviews Yeah Again he's always doing that when Yeah

And other stuff Other stuff Yeah Rob McElhenny's name changed to Rob Mac Feels desperate Yeah And Zachary Levi's But harmless

Zachary Levi's new career direction I don't even know what he's doing Well here's the thing I'm leaning towards Rob McElheny Because it's harmless but also pointless. Why did you do it? Like all these,

if you were like Bill Burr, yeah, he sucks, but he did it for a million dollars. David Harbors going through some stuff. David Zazov, he's doing it for tens of millions of dollars probably. Same with David Ellison for money and also right wing, whatever.

But I also, what I love about the David and Larry Allison situation, I'm pairing them together, is that they're really bad at it. And they might still get it. They might still buy Warner Bros., but I love the fumbling. Yeah, okay, yeah.

And the fact that they're only, like, they have billions of dollars that allow them to do this, but they're terrible businessman. Yeah. Yeah, so I'm probably going to go with them. But I also feel like that's the same, like that. To me, that is like, it's the idea of like, well, the CEO got to the CEO position because they made all the right decisions and their geniuses and whatever. Yeah.

But really, it's just a lot of them just lucked into a position. Some people just do. A lot of people lucked into a position where they got a lot of money and then that money makes more money. Like, once you get there, it's kind of, so I, look, I know it's a, I know it's a, I know it's a crazy field, but I'm going with Rob McElhenney because I'd forgotten he did that. I think that's funny that you're thinking about. And it's just, it's just, why? And then to also, like, make a video like to explaining it. It's like, all right, if you want, weird. It doesn't matter. Like, what's it changed in your life? I don't understand. Yeah, I don't know. It doesn't, it hasn't made you any more money. You didn't do it for a movie and then that movie went gangbusters or whatever. When he got ripped, something broke. And then, and being with, and he seems nice. Yeah, I agree.

And he's friends with Ryan Reynolds and whatever. I don't know. Yeah. Anyway, we got, here we go, Mason. It's our Dean Kane at third place, 12%. David's Azzo, 14%. 26% we got Donald Trump and his normal men. I guess you could talk, talking about all the men.

And what are you saying? You're saying David. I'm saying, David Ellison. David and Larry Allison, because it's funny. It is funny that they're bad at it. Mason, this is a good one. Yeah, but Rob McAler because you'd be like, you know, You could tell someone

You know Rob McElhenney legally changed his name to Rob Mac And they'd be like Who's that again? You'd be like You know Always Sunny Sort of The guy who

The middle guy Yeah You know? Yeah Yeah Yeah It's been going Yeah it's been going

For like 26 seasons Change his name To what? Rob Mac Oh You know the character's name's Mac Sure yeah Well he changed his name

To Rob Mac Okay But didn't change his name To his character's name Because his character's name's Ronald McDonald And he did this Because he

We don't know. We don't know. Because Ryan Reynolds groomed him. I think that's probably why, but like, it's also weird that Ryan Reynolds didn't change his name, isn't it? To Rye Renn. It feels like somebody pitched the idea of two Ryan Reynolds. What if you change your name during Deadpool and Wolverine to Deadpool? Yeah.

And he went, I don't want to do that. Because that would mess up some tax thing. That would mess up some sort of tax thing for my tequila business or whatever, my gin business. Sure. So what if I get somebody in? my group to change their name for no reason because now the idea's in my head and I'm rich I'll get you to do it

I think it's funny that like But they're Rob McElhenney's rich as well But he's not Ryan Mennelage's I think the way that if you really wanted to do it If it was me I'd just do it and then not say anything If somebody asked his go out yeah I thought it was funny It's just what people call me

Yeah And that would be like why you Why is it a big deal? Yeah It's weird Yeah And also surely like Well here's the question

And in his real life, do people call him Rob or they call him Mac? Probably Mac, right? But then wouldn't you want to... Should have called him Mac Rob. Should have called him Mac Rob. That's a school. It is actually. It's cool.

I don't know, man. I don't know either. That's weird, though. See, that's the one I'm homing it, because why? It's normal. It's normal and weird. Yeah. But speaking of weird, though.

Here's another one. What's the weirdest thing that happened? What is it? Amazon War of the World's movie? Incredible. Yeah. Anna Diarmus and Tom Cruise's real relationship. That's fucking hilarious.

The Animal Farm trailer. Good stuff. The audience at Minecraft movie showings. That's just teens, man. Yeah, that's teens, six, seven. The CEO affair at the Coldplay concert, do we bring that up? That's just teens, man. That's just teens.

Just middle-aged, just 50-year-old teens. Jimmy Kimmel's suspension. Oh, yes. Okay. Man, we should have been doing this when, do you remember when Jimmy Fallon and Paris Hilton were like, look at our NFTs. Yeah.

Look at these NFTs. Aren't they good? What NFT did you get? I got this NFT. And now Jimmy Fallon. one's like getting Sam Altman and being and he's like, I'm using chat GPT to raise my baby. I don't know, man.

I also don't believe you, but also I don't know, man. Yeah, I don't. If you encourage even one regular person to do that, that's bad. Jimmy Saville gang in 28 years later. Okay, that was weird. But I make sense in context. Sure, yeah, yeah. John Cena turned heel in the WWE.

Oh, okay. Katie Perry becomes an astronaut and dates Justin Trudeau. They were both this year. They were, yeah. But also, look, that is weird. I think that's outside our purview. Yeah, okay. Generally, that is weird.

But it is just what's the weirdest thing that happened. It's true. Marvel still hasn't released a Blade movie. That's not weird. That's not weird. That's normal. Michael Kane unretized for last Witch Hunter sequel. That's for love and that's normal.

That's young love. Red Notice no longer number one at Netflix. That's probably not true. The Rock does some acting and the smashing machine. Yeah, we would do for it. Yeah. Sydney, Sweeney's Bazaar brand shift. Yep.

Oh, yeah. Wicked movie press tour again. That was weird. And the whole Netflix Warner Brothers deal. Expected. I'm going to say, yes. Anna Diarmus Tom Cruise. Even though I know why they did it

because they were going to do a movie together. They're going to do a movie together so they had to have a relation, a real relationship. And the fact that they're just like, this is real and everyone's like, no, it's not. And the fact that they thought that they could PR into this thing.

Look, I love the Amazon War of the World movie. I love that it exists. Have you seen it? Yeah. Oh, that's what you saw it. It's the one that's entirely on ice-cues. I know what it is. I just didn't know whether you'd say it. Desktop screen. Oh, it's great as well because it's just, I was going to dismiss it because I'm like, well, this is the kind of movie you make in, you know, these times, writer strikes and lockdowns and all this sort of stuff. I was going to be like, but then what can you do? But then it's like, but then a whole part of the movie hinges on somebody getting Amazon same day drone delivery to save the day. That's pretty good. And it's an Amazon movie.

And it's so bad. It sucks. It's not like it was a really good movie. And there's a weird thing. And there's a moment in it where somebody gets Amazon delivered. Like you remember, you know, The Killer. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which is a good movie, but sometimes he gets Amazon stuff delivered.

And he's notable, but you're like... And he's in a wee work. Yeah. And it's notable, but you're like, yeah, the movie's pretty good. Like, this movie's so bad. And then it's like... But also, I'd save the day with Amazon. Incredible.

Great. The Animal Farm trailer is great. God, it's atrocious. I'm still going to say Anandiyamist Tom Cruise because I love that they're like You believe us Yeah

The Rock does acting That is pretty weird But we knew he was going to do it eventually I think I'm gonna go with Amazon War of the World's movie I think that's a good choice I think maybe I'm taking I'm

I suspect maybe there's an award coming up That'll also This might be a double award winner A DA Yeah DA But I'm gonna I'm gonna say I'm gonna say that

All right Well I'm gonna say the thing I said Yes We've got third place, 10%. The Wicked Press Tour again. Number two, we've got War of the Worlds. Nice. 12% and Katie Perry becomes an astronaut dates Dustin Trudeau.

That is, I mean, that's... It is strange. That is a combination of words that if you'd said that in like the noughties. You'd be like, well, no, that's what, all right? Who? Great. Black-faced Justin Trudeau. Yeah, black-faced Katie Perry.

Day, that one. Yeah, wow. I'm thinking I'll drink. Do you on. And we're back. Whoa, we didn't leave. That's right. Second can.

A second can of nothing. That's a caffeine-free, sugar-free coke. You got a problem? You're drinking bloody good stuff. Thank you. Really great stuff. Refreshing. It is refreshing.

Wow. Oh, this is a good one. This is my fave. One of my faves. One of the best awards ever given. Winner of the Game is On award. Yeah, here we go. This award is loosely described.

Here we go. It's always nice to hear how someone else would describe this thing that we can't even describe. This award is loosely described as the worst or most outrageous attempt to set up a sequel that might never happen. Usually in the final scene or post credits it was named after a famous attempt in Dracula Untold. It was famous.

What have we got here though? Number 4, I've forgotten about this one. Captain America 4's vague threat in post credits. What is that? It's others. The others are coming. The others are coming. I think it was the others. I'm the big head guy. Yeah, big head guy was like, I forgot. He's like, I've done

all the numbers and statistics in my big brain head. And guess what? The others are coming. He did that? So vague. He got so much stuff wrong in that movie. Absolutely, he did. He's like... Yeah, you could easily go, a big threat is coming to the Marvel universe.

Yeah, no shit. God, have, has... Here's the thing. We've done this award for a number of years. Too many. And we'll do the rest of the nominations in a moment. But when you think of these movies, you go, well, the Marvel universe makes a lot of vague proclamations,

but there's always going to be more movies. That's true. But this one, this one feels desperate in a way that most of the other others haven't most of the others it's just doomsday right it is just doomsday yeah yeah uh okay well some of these i haven't seen i know what you did last summer brandy's character carla wilson from i still know what you did last summer reunites with julie james jennifer hewitt revealing there both targeted by a new killer setting up a sequel with julie asking kala who the who are we fucking up this time damn okay all right great great so i guess that the first lady you mentioned is the new

protagonist of the current movies yeah that's great no it was the stars of One and two. I don't know. All right. Okay. Now you three me. Again, didn't say, I don't know. Probably magic's real. Magic's real. Who's not in... We should look it up.

Should we look it up? Now to three meet. Oh, no, it's Mark Ruffalo. He's a hologram. Isn't it? No. Oh, okay. I don't know if that's... Unbelievable.

That's great. Let me check. Because he's not in the... It says there's no post-credit scene. But I'm pretty sure Mark Ruffalo is a hologram. Okay. And he's like, I'm sorry I couldn't be there for all the magic, but I'm a hologram. which is magic in a kind of way.

In a way of magic, but they're all, they can all do magic. That's great. That's one of the best things I've ever heard. Now you see me three. I could, I could show you it. No, I don't want to see it. I'll imagine it. It also might not be that.

So let's all calm down. That might be somebody said, hey, chat, JBT, can you come up with the best ending imaginable for Now You See Me Three? Yeah, man. Now you don't. The old guard, too, don't know what happened in the end of that. I think it just meant, no, we'll do a proper one next. But they didn't.

The old guard, too. So what you're saying? Okay. Because in that one, in the second one, oh, some of it is pretty good. That's never happening. They're not making the old guard, right. Okay, you know what?

Now that I recall, some of the action, there's an action sequence because the Charlie's Theron's character was immortal in the first one, then she lost her immortality. And so there's a sequence where she's fighting another immortal person, and it's like, and the other mortal person doesn't know. So it's like, okay, any strike they hit you with will kill you. Yes. She has to be like, I'm still good at martial arts or whatever.

So that was pretty good. It doesn't be confirmed. Didn't finish it. Thunderbolts, of course, became the New Avengers. Yep, and then also a ship arrived, Fantastic Cool. So they already did that in a way. They already did that. Tron Ares, interesting one. So Evan Peters' character...

He became... Gets trapped in a Tron. Yeah. In a... I've been trapped in a Tron. He got trapped in the Tron and the Tron was all ruined and then he touched a thing and then he started turning into one of the bad guys from original.

I've been Tron Aft. Like a Tron app. Exactly. Yeah. He got turned in one of the bad guys from original Tron. Oh, and Jared Letter, went to look for Garrett Headland and Olivia Wilde. Oh, that's Ryan, yeah.

And he went, I love being a real man. Or just Olivia Wild. Yeah, good. There's no real reference to... No, it's a bit old for him. Yeah, yeah. I think maybe he's like, I don't want to share screen time

with the other guy from the previous tron. He would hate sharing screen time with somebody unless he has to be an annoying thing. Okay, Predator of Killers. Ah, yeah, because they're all frozen and whatever. Subsequently, they added... I think they're going to do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm not hard to get Dutch and Schwarzenegger and Danny Glover to do some voices. Wicked for good Don't know Just for the promise of more wicked More wicked I mean Captain America 4 won

Even though they're doing it It does feel How much money did Wicked 1 make Like a billion dollars It did very well Under a billy I think Under a billy

Not even a billy Not even a billy I might be wrong I could look it up It's between for me Tron and Captain America 4 Even though they are doing it Yeah

For Captain America 4 It does feel But again there's no rules in this Exactly There's no rules in this What do you feel I feel it's Captain America 4 because that movie was so vague

as we've mentioned and he just went there's others coming what others specifically what like what have you what have you seen? Kang Doom another guy that's exactly I guess this isn't entirely Captain America's fault but the fact that we don't even

know that he instead of going like you know what we're going to make the call here we're going to say it's Dr Doom or whatever or show Dr Doom or do anything that would be like we know what's happening. They just went, the others are coming.

Something's going to happen, I reckon. Which they could have filmed when they still thought it was Kang. Yeah. Or now that it's Doom and his, it's Doom and his friends, is it? Because you wouldn't say the others and it's just Doctor Doom. No. It's got to be Dr. Doom and his mates. But is it the, or do you mean the others is in all the multiversal incursion guys?

Do you mean that the other Spider-Men are going to show up again and that's going to ruin reality or whatever? You don't know. You don't know. This is so sad. But we love it. It's so sad. It's Captain America for me.

Well, it's funny you say that because that's actually. one with 35% of the vote behind that Tron Aeros 33 and now you threw me at 7%, which might be like Ruffalo. It might be Mark Ruffalo's a hologram, yeah. Yeah. I wish I could come back for more adventures. Best animated movie. Oh yes.

I haven't seen most of these. I haven't seen most of these. Bad guys do haven't seen it. Chainswell Man, haven't seen it. Day the Earth blew up. Oh, that came out. Yeah. Demon Slayer, etc., etc. I haven't seen it. Dogman, I might have seen that. I haven't seen it. Kempop Demon Hunters I've seen a lot of because my daughter loves it, but I

We haven't seen it sat through. Now, my understanding of that movie is there's a, there's a K-pop girl group and they're demon hunters, and then there's a boy band and they're demons? Is that right? Okay. But one of the demon hunters is a demon. Damn. Now, that's the game is on.

It's pretty fun. Predator of killers. Saw that one. There you go. I saw that one. Nezor 2 is the most successful movie of all time, apparently? Or is it Nizar? I don't know how to say.

Wallace and Gromit, a vengeful most foul. Vengeance most foul. I haven't seen that in Zootopia, too. Well, things I've only seen, maybe dogman. but I don't think I have. It's okay. Predator of killers, definitely, and K-Bob Demon Hunters. I'm going to say that because my daughter loves it.

Okay, well, I'm going to say Predator of Killers by default because I didn't see anything else. Well, let's see what everybody else says. Okay. They're saying Capeob Demon Hunters as well, 29%, then Wallace and Grummet, 19, and then Predator killer killers also 19%. James, I think you're anonymous gopher. Click something real quick. Click the result somewhere. Is it me?

Yeah, it's you. You're an honest gopher. Well, and you're anonymous bass then. we've been our own worst enemies this whole time This is like A movie That movie with Lee Pace

And they think there's a killer But it's actually Some guy accidentally Bodies body bodies This is just like that sexy young Bodies Amandler Samantha etc

You know Count Fuetti Best horror movie Mason Rachel Sannett is there Yep I've seen a lot of these actually Best horror movies this year. Alright, best horror

28 years later. Saw it. Black Phone 2. Nearly finished it. Not the Black Phone 2. Interesting. No. Bring it back. Bring it back. Sorry it. Companion. Saw it. So's it. Saw it. Saw it. Final Destination bloodlines. Didn't say it. Frankenstein. Saw it. Good boy. That's the dog movie. I wanted to say it. Hello Road. Didn't say it.

Didn't say it. The long work. Walk. Saw it. Come down. The monkey. Saw it. The shrouds. Didn't seize it. Sinners. Together. We're in that. Yeah. The ugly step sister. Didn't seize it. Well, you're in that. Am I? You're at the ugly session. Yeah, I mean, your mom.

Oh, come on, man. Weapons. So is it. Nice. Oh, God. This is a good line up. A lot of good movies. Uh, weapons.

Okay. Over sinners. I mean, yeah. I mean, I love sinners, but I would probably, I just thought weapons was fucking crazy. It is crazy. And there's just some really, and I also found weapons scary. Oh, yeah. Whereas sinners I didn't find as scary.

Oh, that's true. You know what? Sinners has got a great racist killing scene. But weapons has a, an incredible I don't even feel like spoiling it here an incredible ending

Yeah Okay you're right You're 100% right Sinners has Some incredible action It's an action It's like What's that movie

Ah the Old God too No Old movie Clooney Tarrantino Oh Longest Not no

Yeah The one where Tarantino Get Sal Mohamic I mean to put his A foot in his mouth Yeah yeah yeah yeah She turns to a snake

vampire brothers. Have you seen the interview with George Clooney where he's talked about how Tarantino says they look alike and they look like brothers? And he's like, no. I get it though.

They don't look a lot. They had that haircut. That's the only thing. I can see it. No. It's in the eyes. It's in the eyes. That movie is called.

Let's drag this out as long as possible for all the people listening who know what it is. Not Dawn of the Dead, something of the something. They're doing this. Couple of guns, Desperado? No.

Like any bling any... No, I know it's not. But it's in that era, isn't it? Vampire. From dusk till dawn. From dusk till dawn. That's what I said, Dawn of the Dead. People hated that.

No, they loved it. They loved it. But you write, it's from Dust Till Dawn, it's action, it's good, it's gross, great characters. It's going to win another world later, I presume. Yeah. And they're going to be excited for that. But weapons is great. There's some, there's some, such creepy moments.

I mentioned before, and again, we're doing spoilers, but we're not doing spoilers, the moment where somebody's waiting and somebody's asleep in the car and somebody, like, janks out and, like, is walking around them while they're asleep, and it's so spooky. I mean, together I liked a lot. I think that's fun. The ugly steps is. I enjoy it.

I think some people... I was going to say, there you go. Not everybody did, though. Not everybody did. I really liked it. I think it's got a great, again, double performance with Theo James. I think it's funny. It's a comedy that's gross, I think.

Bringing her back was, like, just really upsetting. It's upsetting, isn't it? It was very good. I like companion. You know what? Looking at all, I like all of these, the ones that I saw. I don't think I had that disliked any of these. I like the long walk.

Yeah. But I'm going to say weapons. That's what people say. God, bring it back. Bring her back. Bring it back. 28 years later, really good. I like that.

That's a good way too, yeah. Second was weapons with 25% and Sinners is 40%. I can't argue with that. Yeah. I mean, these are... That's right. Some great... Just a real gamut of kind of...

Just a whole spectrum of different stuff. If you want a one that's kind of got a spooky vibe and sometimes it's scary, but sometimes it makes you think that's 28 years later. Yeah. Weapons, horror-y stuff. Horrary stuff. Like he's funny. God, bring her back is so grim, isn't it?

I'd never watch it again, though, I think. No, bring her back. He's eating the knife. He's eating that knife, that kid. Bring her back. Don't leave your daughter. just sitting in a heap. Bring her back.

Got to bring her back. Best value streaming service. That's a reference. That's a reference. To the advertisement for Pick apart, which is a junkyard where you can buy your own stuff. Pick apart, pick a bite, pick a bite. I'm going to say then.

Oh, what did you say? What he did the results? You said weapons. No, that's fine. Can't go wrong, Mason. Can't go wrong. What a weird magic witchy magic going on. Yeah, that was cool.

Remember what happened at the end though? No, but I'm saying in a bunch of these moves. Oh, yeah, sure. Together's got weird witchy magic, bring her back. so weird witchy magic. It's true. Companion, she's a robot. She was a robot.

She wasn't a witch. I'm going to say bring her back. It's the one I've thought about the most. Bring her back. And it's such a weird movie because you're like, would you recommend this? No. But should you see it?

Yes. Is it the best time? Man, I'm going to be thinking about this. You can? I'm not going to think about it at all. No, it's too late. That's too late. Ah,

bum bum bum, bum. God, they're all good, aren't they? They certainly are. The next one is best value streaming service. I already know. Apple TV. Amazon Prime Binge Criterion Channel Crunchyroll Disney plus Netflix

HBO Max Hulu Perraman Plus Peacock, Stan Tooby, YouTube other It's YouTube I also like Toobie a lot Yeah But I'm watching more YouTube Exactly I'm only watching And Toobie put all the John Woo movies on this year for no reason

Yeah seemingly they got the best deal there I always have a YouTube video on the go That I'm listening to always Constant It'd be my number one app by like a long way Yeah But if you have to pick a second one I liked Apple this year actually

Apple did a lot of good stuff HBO Max had some good stuff as well Stan's always pretty solid Yeah it's got a couple of new shows We'll talk about them later Yeah Netflix You know it's Netflix But anyway the results are

Disney had Andor That kept me there Yeah But anyway Third Apple TV 13% second HBO Mac 16% First YouTube 30% Well storming it in

Best video game adaptation To be clear, best video game adaptation thing. Thing, yeah. A Minecraft movie. Saw it. Castlevania Nocturn 2. Didn't say it. Devil may cry.

I don't know anything about that. I haven't even started, but I want to. There's only two episodes out. Five nights at Freddy's two. Five nights. The last of a season two. Twisted Metal Season 2. Until Dawn, with the water that makes you explode.

God, this is... That's also a horror movie. It might be the last of a season two because that's the only one that I've seen. Yeah, right. Even I didn't love it, I put it above the other ones that I have seen, including, I'd probably pick fallout if I'd seen any episodes. All right. But I'd put it above until dawn and Minecraft, you know, and the other two.

I should watch Twisted Metal. People seem to like it. I watched some of the first season. It was fun. And they offered us a crazy amount of money to promote the second season, which we're doing now. Yeah, we are. Just send us the money out. See it if you want.

Yeah, see if you want. I don't know. Here's the thing. Do we give it to the thing we enjoyed the most, or do we give it to the thing that did the best because it just did. just did stuff from the game, in which case it's Minecraft, isn't it? I mean, that went insane, didn't it? I mean, yeah.

But I didn't like it. Yeah, yeah. I think it's too early to call fallout season, too. I've watched the first episode. Yep. The new season, and I liked it a lot. I think it's good. I think that's a good cast.

Okay. And it's well produced. Looks cool. Got some exploding heads in that as well. There you go. I just feel like there's some things on there that I haven't seen, which would be up there. Yeah, right. But I haven't seen them.

Yeah. So I've dug in last last episode. I remember until dawn? Yes. Real vibe. Nothing made sense in that movie. No, but that house was downstairs. It was downstairs, wasn't it?

I'm going to say the thing that I said. But people saying a Minecraft movie 13% than the last of a season 2, 18%, and fallout season 2 is getting a 45% big time. Okay, yeah. I'm going to say a Minecraft movie. I didn't like it. No.

It's bad. But it's Minecraft. It's not even really know. Yeah. But was it Minecraft? I don't even really know. It did what it's supposed to do. Yeah, I guess so.

Made a billion dollars on people like it. Wow. Yeah. Best video game. Whoa. There's going to be a lot of things I haven't played. Agreed. The top 10 nominations from the Great Mates Group

Second thing we did. The Punisher movies. Third thing we did. Oh, this is just in order. Yeah. Video game movies, Street Fighter, Wing Commander, Uncharted. I enjoyed that. The born-adjacent-born movies.

No fun. The Michael Crichton, A.K. Ruin the Algorithm series. That was fun. That was fun, too. Superman TV shows. I like doing those. Movies you didn't know were comic book movies. These are all great amazing.

Alien prequel movies. Yep. Percy Jackson. Yuck. The Dark Universe. Fun. Tron and Tron Legacy. Good to revisit.

The Predator movies. Ooh. Biggest Disney bombs. Interesting. Okay. No wrath of the Titans? Not. No.

Clash of the Titans? Nope. Don't even count. Uh, Michael Crichton was fun. Yeah. It was fun to be like, what's Congo like? What's fear like? Yeah.

That's true. I enjoyed that. What about you? The Punish movies are. interesting. They were. Maybe it's recency bias, but maybe just the biggest Disney bombs. They were fun, because there were some good ones in there. A couple of good ones.

Tomorrowland, maybe. Yeah, maybe. The day-game movies with Street Fighter and Wing Commander and that, that was fun. What's the one that people come back to us about the most? Yeah, I think it might be the MCU trilogy. Captain America ones. Probably, yeah. That would probably be the most popular thing that we did, I would

say. But I did like... But it's been it's just been on the channel the longest. Yeah, exactly, but also like, yeah, they're big movie. Of course those ones. Big movie. Big movie alert. Dark Universe was dull. Remember we looked at Timeline? The movie Timeline? Okay, it is the Michael Crichton. It's the Michael Crichton one. Congo and Sphere and that other one, 13th Warrior. Todd, we got to watch, we got to watch people blast monkeys with lasers. Yeah. Okay, it is Michael. I mean, views alone, it is Captain America because each of them got around six more, 600,000. Right. Yeah.

Okay, so the results are. The results are in. A third biggest Disney bombs at 10 percent second the Captain America trilogy 12% and first break the algorithm series so that's Michael Craig 28%. There you go. People are with us. Yeah. What was the other one? What was movies we didn't know were comic book movies? That was oblivion

You don't need to talk to me like that, Mason. Here we go. Hang on, what did we... Oh, do you remember when we did it freaking...

No. Where was it? I just missed it. John Carter? Oh, yeah. Oh, that was Barb-Wy Time Cop Bulletproof Monk Oblivion. They were pretty good, too. They were fun to look at. Yeah. God, we really did some ones here that people would not care about it.

We really did some ones, I'll tell you that. Here's some stuff people will care about, though. Best series ever. Top nominations from the Great Mates Group. Yep. Adolescence on Netflix. God, that was out this year. Yep.

The rehearsal season two. I like that. And the studio. And or. Yeah, it's good, isn't it? So fucking good. And I make, the chair company was great. It does also end in the cliffhanger where I was like, oh, I feel like this could have been.

Oh, it could have wrapped it up. It's such a compelling mystery of nothing. I've written that down to something I'm going to watch while I break. Very weird and very fun. I haven't watched the chair company. I didn't watch Friendship either. I like friendship a lot actually But of the stuff I've seen

I didn't keep up with Pluribus Yeah well you can It's finished now Season once finished yeah Then you gotta wait four years to the next year I didn't like Severin season two a lot I did like the studio The studio was a bit of lighthearted fun

That I enjoyed a lot Yeah it was good You know I liked the little novelties They were doing You know it was the film noir We're doing one shot or whatever Yeah the detective episode It was a detective mystery

I liked Ron Howard Getting weird and aggressive That was good I liked the Kool-Aid man. Yep, Marty Scorsese. I like Marty Scorsese. He's good and he's always good when he pops up. Adolescence was very good also.

Right, I didn't see adolescence. That's amazing. I mean, I don't think the studio was the best, like it's, it's, you don't have to say. Right now I'm like the studio is the most fun I had watching a TV series. I liked Andor Season 2. I didn't have, I wasn't like, this is so much fun. I've fucking loved Andor Season 2. I'm going to say that one.

What are you going to say? I'm going to say Severin Season 2 was very good as well. It was very good, yeah. Okay, I'm going to say Severin Season 2. Well, that came in at second at 12%. Oh, yes. Pluribus was at 6% at third and and or 50%. Yeah.

Well, here we go. This is the pointy end, James. The pointed end? A few big, big old... Big movies. Big movies. Also, for my award that I've just remembered that I do, the cut and paste award or whatever I call it, find and replace.

I'm going to give it to Avatar. Because it's the same movie twice. It's just a second movie again. But anyway, here's some great stuff. This is the most just a movie movie ever With nominations from the Great Mates Facebook group Thank you folks Just to be clear

This is a movie where you see it And you go oh yeah It was all right, yeah Would you recommend it? I don't know No, you could see it if you want It's out It's out

You know, there's nothing else out You could wait for streaming I guess Yeah You could steal it off the internet Here we go These are an alphabetical order as well So that's good A Minecraft movie

I mean it was something And it was, it does start with A Yeah true What do you call it Ardvark Minecraft movie Ballerina from the world of John Wick I think it was better than fine. Yeah, same. Yeah.

Captain America, Brave New World, no. I would think that was bad. I think it's bad. The Electric State. Bad. F1, the movie. That's just a movie. Yeah, it's probably because of the spectacular nature of it.

It probably gets it a little bit. Right, like the visuals. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe get it, but I didn't love it. Right. The Fantastic Four First Steps? No, I liked it. Yeah, I liked it more than that.

Found of Youth, never saw it. Fake movie. Fake movie, not real. Jurassic World Rebirth. Bad. That's just a movie. Yeah. Given the franchise and what it's capable of, which is a movie that's fine.

Yeah. This was also fine. True. Mickey 17. Better than fine. Mission Impossible to Final Reckoning. Better than fine. Now you're streaming.

Don't know. Predator Badlands? No, that's better than fine. The running man, better than fine. Agreed. I won't see. He should have done a 9-11. Yeah.

It would have been interesting if he'd done a 9-11 at the end. Yeah. Tron Ares. I think that's better than fine. I think it's better than fine. I, yeah. I don't know, man. Wicked for Good is...

That's just a movie to me. Not to me. I thought it was all right. Okay. Boy, a tough, tough call here. No, it's Jurassic World Rebirth. Yeah, that did jump out. Yeah.

When you said that, I was like, when you said it out loud, when you hear it out loud. There's some stuff that is going to get in worst movie ever here. Oh, definitely. And, and it's... Yeah. Hmm. Mission Impossible, they put a lot of work into that.

Yeah. And it's not... It's not the best Mission Impossible. It's not the best Mission Impossible. possible, but also it's like... It was that some submarine stuff and whatever? Submarine stuff, that's, that bit that's just a silent movie because he's underwater. Yeah.

The biplane stuff is crazy. Byplane. Nice. Good. That's good. Tron Aries, I think, had some really interesting effects in it. Again, it's been poisoned because Jared Lettow's in it. Exactly. That's why I think it's not just a movie because it's been poisoned. It's like drinking from a polluted river.

I quite liked F1 the movie, even though it's a branded product. and Brad Pitt sucks. But have your bottom's good, I think. You must run this race for us, Brad Pitt. Exactly, but follow all the rules, or don't wink. And I like Kerry Condon in it. And the other guy, what's that guy? The other guy.

Jared Leto? No, the new guy. Damson Idris, there we go, thank you, yeah. Good. I hope he is Black Panther. Yeah, that'd be nice. Yeah. Yeah, I liked it more than Jurassic World Rebirth, which is...

Well, that it can't be just a movie then, can it? Yeah, that's so true. Yeah. Jurassic World Rebirth is okay. And again, what are they doing? What are they doing? Do better than that. Okay.

Okay, so the listeners have spoken. And number three, F1, the movie with 11%. One. Number second, Jurassic World Rebirth, 12%. Number second. This guy. Sorry, what did I say? Number second.

I think that's fun. That's fun. And number first, Captain America, Brave New World with 23%. But here we go, here's the stuff, James. Here's the stuff. Worst movie. Worst movie. Worst movie.

This is worst movie ever. Nomination from the grade mates group. Oh, it's much of the same. Yeah. A Minecraft movie, Captain America Brave New World, the electric state. Yep. Five Nights at Freddy's two. Flight Risk.

I'm saying it. I'm saying it. And it's taken now. Leelo and Stitch live action. Materialist. That's a good movie. Snow white, is it? Yes.

Torn Airy's, until dawn. War of the World's Wicked for Good. I mean, War of the Worlds is interesting. You saw that. But it's funny, and I would tell people to see it. I'd be like, it's free on your TV. You've got nothing to do. Watch this.

It's so funny. Here's a question. Would you tell people to see the electric state? No, I would not, because I don't know what happened in it. What happened in it? Robots. Yep. Uprising.

Yep. Your brother's a robot. Really expensive. Rousseau brothers. Brousseau brothers. Bad. Really bad. Millie Bobby Brown, Chris Pratt.

Yeah. Like made for Netflix algorithm. garbage. Yeah. Beautiful concept. At least I remember... Mr. Peanus. At least I remember what happens in Captain Erica Bravely. Exactly. More or less. Yeah. That's interesting. I... Maybe...

Hey man lunchboxes. Vintage. Yeah, vintage. Had that ready player one kind of thing. It did, didn't it? A robot inside, a big robot inside a bigger robot. They fight at the white house at the end. White House. I remember a lot of this movie. This movie's great. Fight House. They should have called the movie Fight House. Fight House. Yeah. But no, it's the electric state for me. and it would have been whatever that movie Zach Snyder made for Netflix

if it was out this year was it was it Wicked for Goods also bad I think I don't think it's bad did I don't know you probably I don't know you probably did I don't know it's no one I didn't see that one yeah uh yeah it's the elect just came and went a week it was gone cost of 400 billion dollars hundreds of millions of dollars probably is that one of the ones where they we know how much it cost or I can find out Please, if you could. Staggering an amount of money. Ruined a really good concept.

You know, based on the books that are very interesting. I bought the book. It took some of the... $320 million. $320 million. It took some of the look, but none of the... Tales in comparison to the show, which I've just finished, which is better. At the end, they're just fighting in a field.

Yeah. Decent cast, though, if I remember correctly. Yes. Anthony Mackey was a robot. Third was the electric state 10%. Second was Captain America, Brave New Bird, 12%. And Amazon War of the Worlds, 37%. Which you can't really argue with.

Yeah, I mean, I like Carl Lumley and Captain America. He was in it. Yeah, whatever, man. All right. Best movie ever. Top nominations of the Great Mates Group. 28 years later, BlackBank. That's good.

Bring her back. Eddington. I would say that. Fantastic Four First Steps. Frankenstein. Cape Op Demon Hunters. Yep. The Naked Gun.

One battle after another. Fuck, that was good. Sinners. Superman, Thunderbolts, wake up dead man, a weapon. For me, it's, what is it? The one battle after another, wake up dead man weapons were great. What about sinners? Oh, yeah, sinners as well.

Yeah, this is a tough field. I mean, one battle after another was incredible. Yeah. Yeah. And incredible performances, really bizarre stuff in it. Yeah. Felt directionless, but it wasn't. But it wasn't.

Leonardo DiCaprio losing his mind the entire movie. Just trying to find a phone charger for most of the movie. I mean, for me, it's one battle after another, sinners would be the, would be, I like BlackBag a lot. BlackBag was really good. Yeah. It's a smaller movie, though, I think. Yes. What?

You only like a big movie? I do like a big movie. Frankenstein was great. Some of the, like, one battle. We haven't really talked about. Frankestine is great. It was enjoyable. Yeah.

One battle after another. It's got action sequence. that aren't really action sequences. It's got a car chase that isn't really a car chase, but it's just crazy hills. Like some crazy hills on that scene. It's got a great opening. Yeah.

Benicio del Toro is just a great performance. I think for me it's one, yeah. I think it's one battle after that. I just like same. Yeah, same. Let's see what the listeners say. Say what the real people think. Real people.

Third is one battle after another 17%. The second is Superman at 22%. I forgot about Superman. Yeah, but I liked it, but I wouldn't put it in my top. Yeah, yeah, yeah, right. And first was sinners at 26%. And then it says, congratulations to everyone involved. Thanks.

That's Collings' words, not mine. I would never. You're welcome. That was great. That was great. That was great. What a great episode. What a great episode.

I hear it's nice and and life affirming and nice. Well, I don't want to hear about it. Mike Flanagan directed. That's right, but let me tell you, I don't want to hear about it. Because this is the Stephen King one as well, isn't it? Mike Flanagan. I don't want to hear about it, Mason. I don't want to hear about it. Live your life. Live your life not hearing about it. I've stopped hearing about it. All right. This is the perfect opportunity for me to stop hearing about it.

Is it the perfect opportunity for another segment? If you could name the segment, then maybe, but if you can't, don't bother. It's called letters, and then I'll have to get some letters. Okay. Okay. I'll play the theme in the letters. What do I do? Just sit there.

Sit there in a dumb butt. I don't like that. I don't like this. Learn to like sitting there on your dumb butt. I don't like it. Well, too bad. This sucks. I'm having a tantrum.

It's leased that way. Normally you'd save your, your tantrum would be earlier in the year. You have a one-see of tantrum now. I guess you can. You've earned it. I'm having a tantrum now and I'm going to have a tantrum early next year. Wow.

God, I love having a tantrum. Can't wait to have another one in the new year. Maybe this episode. I don't know if that's... Just let me. All right, you can have two tantrums. As long as you promise that it's a real... I can't promise that.

Oh, is this going to be it? No. Okay. Interesting. Do you want an email in? Yeah. It's quickly plan a pot at gmail.com. It's the best time you'll have.

That's right. It is the best time you'll have. composing an email, putting in the address. We look at that email. You send it and you're like, oh, I forgot to put it in a subject line to I send it again. No, no, don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. We can planetpot at gmail.com, yes, but also in the planet broadcasting great mates group.

That's right. That's a hell of a time. This is from Cole. Cole? Evening boys. Hi, Cole. I was listening to your podcast on my way into work when I was very surprised to hear you mentioned six, seven. Must be nice.

Do the arms, he said. I'm a public school. school teacher in Vietnam, and I was covering a grade four class who proceeded to do six, seven, you do the arms, and we're very happy when I did it back. I was wondering if James could explore the foggy parts of his brain to remember what the crazes were when he was a teacher. God, that's a great question. I mean, it's, oh, God, I don't know, this shit comes and goes. It's bands and Jonas. When did Minecraft start? Yeah, Minecraft was definitely big, Fortnite. That was big. Call of Duty was big. These are primary schools.

school stuff. I was going to say Harambe, but I think I'd already quit when that gorilla was shot. Harambe, the guerrilla got shot. Yeah, that was big one. I just remember kids would like, if you ever have a camera on kids for whatever reason, which I don't, but say you're doing an assembly or whatever, people, they'll go, they go crazy and they just start shouting memes. I have memories of that. Like, that's not new. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Back in the olden days, they would have done a Shakespeare soliloquy. But now they just shout a meme. Absolutely. They shout RIP. Harambe

But it's Yeah It's the same shit It's just It reemerges as a different Yeah You know whatever Which

The key is The key is The key is Our kids struggling To think of something To say And then shout Absolutely

Which I mean It evolves into doing a podcast Eventually doesn't it And having a big tantrum Having a big tantrum Yeah That's fun though Isn't it

May snow got this one Oh yes From Michael Who says What movie do you think Will Age the Best From 2025 I think

sinners. I think also not only the movie being good and timeless, even though it's set in a specific time, but the evolution of music, but also if you see me out for a second, go on. The deal that... I'm willing to hear you out once this year. Lucky you've saved it till the end. The deal...

What's the director's name again? God. Ryan Coogler made to get the rights back to this. And I think that will be remembered because whether or not that's going to be something that happens more or not. It'll either set a trend or people will be like, well, that doesn't happen anymore. I also think that's probably like more or less a guarantee there'll be a like a subsequent future maybe re-release or something like

that sure or like a special edition physical edition you know something like that yeah you know love that yeah yeah probably yeah sinners i would say yeah uh you don't know though no i mean i would say one battle after another also because it's just you know paul thomas anderson it'll go into the yeah the collection as it were and like and as as it's also his most successful movie he's ever done. I wish I had a successful movie. You could do it. All right, I'll do one this year.

Yeah. Oh, wait. How much time have I got? Like a couple of days? A couple of days. A couple of days. You've got a Con the Fritter amount of time. I certainly do, Mason.

Yeah, I think you could still do it. All right, I'll do it. Yeah. Why not? What do you think? Anything genre-wise? What's a horror movie that might stick? Weapons?

Weapons will stick around. Genra? Yeah. Bring it back? Bring it back. That'll, um... Do you think Superman will stick around? I think people will look back and go, wow, that was a real turn.

turning point in Netflix purchasing Warner Brothers. That was a real turning point in putting a nice man in a movie. Yay. Great question. Well, people look at it. I think they will. I think it's also a good jumping on, but it's like the Christopher Reeve Superman movies. Yeah.

You can just jump on. You don't have to know anything about Superman. They'll tell you. They'll tell you. Exactly. Got a cape, got a dog. Got a cape, got a dog. That's right.

Get a cape, get a dog. Yeah. Bring it back. Exactly. Precisely. What do you got, Mason? This is from Lincoln. I'm in the 1% of listeners, and my wife hates it, he says.

Howdy James and Mason? A long time listener, first time emailer. YouTube's 2025 recap just came out, and I was in the 1% of weekly Planet Pod listeners. My wife hates it. We got married earlier this year, and since she has moved in, she hears you're bickering anytime I'm cooking or working or shooting hoops.

She doesn't understand why I like you guys so much. Can you all roast her for me? Yes. Yeah, man. Lincoln's wife, terrible taste in husbands. Yeah, get a better one. Get a better one. They're out there too.

That's why you're not a winner I got the comic's southern bastard Even though I didn't ask for it We had this conversation earlier Because they were on the table As I was coming in And I'm like Because something I think

It was recently that came up I think on the internet Like maybe they're adapting it Or yeah Something like that I think that's why I got it And you You asked you were like

Can you get me a comic book To the person gifting you And I got you this. Because I was in a KK. And to me, it's very... I picked other comics. Well, it's going to say, it's interesting to me that they got you something that is good. Yeah, absolutely.

And not like, they didn't get you like, I don't know, just like the first Superman comic on the stack. Yes. That is just one that's... They didn't get you like Batman Year 1 or something, something you've already read and already have. That's wild. I would be furious if I got Batman New 1, a comic that I actually don't own. But I still would be mad. Yeah, right.

What am I going to read this? It's interesting. Well, he went, because this was Claire's brother. So he went to a comic book store and was like, this guy, he's an expert. Yeah, oh, okay, right. He's an expert in the field. Wow, wow, wow, wow. And they said, did you say a sex expert?

And he went, oh, heavens's no. Heaven's no. Not this man. He doesn't know what I'm up to. Maybe I'm one of the best. I'm not, but he doesn't know that. But it's, to me, it's, yeah, it's interesting that, like, when somebody's like, oh, this person likes comics, I'll get him a comic.

They get you babies first. Yeah, exactly. comic or whatever it is, you know. Yeah, I agree. It was a good, it was a good call. Even though, again, not what I asked for. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. My parents got me like a voucher to a, like a gift card to a watch company.

Sometimes I'll listen to them and be like, I don't even remember this. This is a good summary of things that we said. God, if only, we just did the best bits. Yeah, I know. Instead of doing like an hour plus every week. this bit. Yeah, this, this bit. What if we just did like three to four minutes of really good stuff a week? Just the gold, you know what I mean? Exactly. And then we put it all together and everybody was happy with that. Everyone would be happy with that. But we can't do that. We're not allowed to. No.

Mason. So I would like two zips on the shoulders. You can't just drop an incredible idea at the end of the year like that. That's free for the world. And I don't care if that causes world peace. I don't even care. Zips on the shoulders of your T-shirt. So everybody's T-shirt, neck looks really good. And then we have World Peace.

Stop saying Zips on the shoulders. Zips on the shoulders. Zips on the shoulders. But then you purchase a T-shirt. Yeah, you can do that. They won't have Zips on the Shelders. That's exactly right. Next week, we're on holiday.
