Nope. It's a specific drug It's a drug Yep It's very expensive And it's called reverse OZempic Yeah

And when I go there It looks a lot Like the doctors Just crumpling up donuts And putting them into a syringe But it's not It's not Apparently

Because all the celebrities They're on OZempic or whatever Yeah Yeah And they're looking thin but weird Yeah And I'm like Well if anybody can do that

Don't you want to know What everybody's skeleton Looks like? Yeah Rubbery it seems You notice that Yeah Everybody looks like

They've got a rubbery skeleton Yeah It's odd isn't it But anyway, no downsides. Not you, though. Not me. You're big. Big and tall.

Big Nick Mason. That's right. I finally wanted to shop at the big and tall store. And now I can do it. That's right. Now, this isn't a new character, is it? It's just you've changed. I've changed.

I promised, I always promised I would. That's right. We had a bit of a break. We took the month of January off. That's correct. I went to Japan. Asked me anything about it. You went through a hole?

I did go through a hole. Some sort of prosperity hole. Ask me how it was. How was it? Indescribable. In a good way or a bad way? Couldn't possibly describe it. Interesting.

Indescribable, myself. Wow, okay. Can't stress enough how much experience cannot be put into words. Yeah, all right. But ask me, though. I couldn't even. How do you even explain? How many?

How many? Yep. As many as I could get. Interesting. Of good things. Many as you can get away with. But in a good way. Interesting.

What about you? I had a four-day weekend. Oh, hell yeah. That's awesome. So, caught up with a lot of stuff. It turns out that in my, my day-to-day life, I have enough time in a week to either watch a bunch of movies or record this podcast.

Sure, it's one or the other. It's one or the other. Absolutely. So what would the listeners prefer? Yeah. Would they prefer that I don't do this podcast and I just watch a bunch of movies and enjoy my week? I have a good time. Or do I show up at this podcast unprepared, as I have done for the previous 10 years?

And when it comes to our famous segment, what we read and what we're going to read, I'm like, oh, I don't know, I read the back of a can of Coke. I skipped it. Oh, Skimd it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyways, this week we're going to go through all the biggest releases of the year movies and TV shows. I'm not doing video games, Mason. And we're going to say yay or nay.

That's right. It's all they get. And we've got some news that we've got to cover in the lead up to that. Some of the stuff will be stuff, like, there's trailers for like Masters of the Universe, and we'll talk about things like maybe Wonder Man or Bone Temple or whatever, or then just dooms out of future trailers. We'll talk about those as we cover them for when they're released. But we are going to do specific news.

Oh, specific news. And the lead up to that. what people are here for, specific news. Specific news. So we're going to talk about the passing of Catherine O'Hara. Boo. Awful. We're going to talk about Deadpool.

No. Her passing away was awful. Absolutely. We're going to talk about Deadpool 4. We're going to talk about a Gundam movie, Mason. We're going to talk about things that people got mad about while we were away. I'm sure people are wondering why there's this Gundam. Yeah, everyone's talking about it.

This Gundam is that James very kindly on his trip to Japan. That's right. He was like... Indescribable. Seems like you bought a Gundam, though. You bought me his gift. You buy you a Gundam. It's classic Gundam.

It's right, Gundam. Old Gunny Gundam, as they call him in the series. What was the pilot? The piloted original Gunning. It was piloted by Amuro Ray. Classic. And it's equipped with armament, such as it's two beam sabers and beam rifle. And also hands.

He's got different hands. He's got different hands and I'm going to lose them. Yeah, you're going to lose him immediately. Oh, my goodness. So, yeah, as someone who doesn't know anything about Gundam, I'm like, what's something I can fit in my bag for Nick Mason. That's right. Turns out that one.

Classic Gundam. I mean, it's the version. Isn't there a giant Gundam? There is a much bigger... In Japan? Much bigger ones. Oh, yeah, I didn't go anywhere near that. I couldn't possibly.

I mean, I already had enough things that I couldn't describe. How would I even describe that? Well, and you were afraid of it, too? And I was afraid of it, because what if it comes to life? Yeah. What if Rich Gundam or whatever, the guy who drives it gets in it and then he's running around? I don't want that. I'm stuck there.

Mayhem. Yeah. You know? But the things that people are mad at his clue includes Tomb Raider. He mad. He meant conformity gate and also the new heads of Lucasfeld. Oh, that's right. So yeah.

Now, Rob Collings, who edits this. He's back also, though him and the team, of course, they doing great stuff over the break. Agreed. But he puts the time codes below in addition to editing this. So let's get into this, Mesa. Let's do it. With Catherine O'Hara passing away at age 71, the management just said that she passed away after a brief illness. So that's all we know at this point.

Seemingly, obviously, very sudden, tragic, awful. What an amazing actor, incredible comedic timing. Absolutely. Body of work. Head of the household and home. alone of course. One and two. Larry Sanders show.

She's been in 30 Rock. She was in The Last of Us recently because, yeah, she did do more serious roles. She's in the studio. Yeah, it's right, yeah. Yeah, which recently started re-filming, so I don't know what that means for that, because she's a pretty prominent role in the first season. They're probably just, probably just filming the same episodes over again. They might just be doing that.

I think they're doing that. And of course, it's Creek where she's tremendous, tremendous comedic talent in that. Yeah. And both, and Biddle juices. She's in both Bittal juices. Biddle juices. Because she didn't do any crimes in between Bittal Juice 1 and Bittal Juice 2. But somebody else did and they somehow managed to squeeze their way into...

That's a great point. She should have squeezed in a few crimes in between Bittal Juice 1 and Bittal Juice 2. God. Look, look, a tragedy, but also there's two tragedies here. One, the passing of Catherine O'Hara. And the second one is we didn't think about calling Beetlejuice Bittal Juice. And now we've got to find ways to squeeze it in well at daily lives, you know? Yeah.

Yeah, so just, yeah, bad stuff, honestly. And just it's never a celebration of death. It's never like it's good because that person We wish it were We wish it were Insert who you think that is That's right Whatever political affiliation you have

Doesn't have to be political Or any just any guy We wish it was that guy At your work you don't like Dude I would love that Yeah that's right When that happens Give me a call

I want to know Yeah Spectacularly too Yeah You know And everybody saw it Farted Farted on the way out

Everyone was laughing That's right Yeah good stuff So yeah, again, incredible body of work, apparently a really nice person, just a whole lot of really heartfelt messages by pouring in, including from like, people who work with her over these, including McCauley Colkin. They were very close, obviously from the Home Alone movies. She was there when he got his star, Walk of Fame.

Oh, yeah, right. Was that hers? I can't remember. There's a lovely photo. Somebody got a Walk of Fame star and they were both there. They were both there, which is. Both stars. Yeah.

What also we had, I think, I don't like this one, Mason. No, no, sorry. What I think, what we did have over the, over the break, I think, was a similar thing. but it was memorials for people, memorials, memorials, memorials for people who didn't die. Oh, who got insulted by Clinton-Tanagan. We just talk a little bit about that. Yeah, but I think I saw a statement recently from Matthew Lillard,

who was like, because he was dissed by Quentin Tarantino and he's like, look, I know I'm not for everybody, but it was nice that everybody was like, no, I love Matthew Lillard. So, you know. It's weird. And again, Paul Dhano as well. He's in a movie. He's in a movie.

No, it's something else he said. Phanaf, he just did Phanath. No, it was something else. I saw a trailer and I'm like, well, he's in that. How do it? How do it? How do it?

I don't like him. I don't like him, but how did he do it? No, I like him. I like him also. Unless he does something bad, in which case we never liked it. Never liked him. So yeah, moving on to exciting comic book news, Mason. This is via Puck.

Exciting comic book news? Movie news. Thank you. There's no such thing as exciting comic book news. It's true. Ryan Reynolds is apparently now focusing on Deadpool 4, which is rumored to be another team up movie, which isn't surprising because you can't just make Deadpool one again.

You've got to... Correct. You've got to give him a Spider-Man or a whatever, etc. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You've got to give him someone a riff and zip with. The new Marvel hero,

whatever, etc. Which is the level they're at now. Yeah, yeah. It looks like he's probably going to be in the next Avengers movies at least one, but probably both. Yep, uh-huh.

So, yeah, I remember after you finished the last one, he was like, I don't know if I could, you know, commit myself to doing another one of these. Matthew Lillit is in the new season of Dead Devil Born again. Oh, these two. I like that, Mason.

That's what I'm thinking of. That's what I'm thinking of off. That's right. Yeah, well, we talk about that when we talk about the release of that. So, yeah, there we go, Depple for, not a surprise. But there's also been speculation that they're going to split secret wars. So just to get everybody back in the zone. At the end of this year, we're going to have Avengers Dooms Day. And the following December, we're going to have Avengers Secret Wars.

And there's rumors and talk and scuttle butt and speculation that the Secret Wars, which is a huge comic event, is going to be split over two movies. John Roker from the Hot Mike podcast. Wait, so does that mean there's going to be three movies? Yeah. Whoa. So John Roker says that they're considering the idea, and Daniel Richmond said the decision we made after Doomsday,

which feels very late in the day if that is the case. This might just not be true also. This is, I'm hearing this with the first time. I mean, why. I'm doing the hand over the year? Why, um, I mean, why make, you know, a billion dollars one time and you can make $2 billion dollars twice times? Thanks, Andrew Garfield from the social network.

That's right. Timberlake, which ever ones are that. Justin Timberlake and your world tour that you're on. God bless you. God bless you. Not surprising. I mean, this does happen and sometimes it works. It happened once that worked with Harry Potter and maybe other times.

Oh, yeah, sure, of course. But, you know, then there's a lot of times when it has it, the Hobbit split into multiple movies. Maybe. But the Hobbit still made a bunch of money. That's true. You know, it did work technically. Maybe doomsday part one will be really bad and people will be like, yeah,

but actually there's going to be a secret second doomsday. It's even better. It's even better. Or worse. Come have a bad time twice for $2 billion. That's right. Yeah. So that's, uh, that's a,

That's something. We'll just kind of see how that plays out. Now, what do you think Deadpool 4 is going to be? It'll be him and somebody famous. Absolutely. Maybe Toby McGuire or somebody like, it'll probably be a Spider-Man and something else. Okay, but will it actually be Spider-Man? It will be the actor, Toby McGuire, because I wouldn't put a pass in this way. Well, that's what I wanted the last one to be.

I wanted to be Deadpool teams up with actual Hugh Jackman. Yeah, right. He tries to get him to do Wolverine stuff, which I think would have been a funnier movie. But instead, we got a really funny movie. We did get a funny sketch movie. Look, I think my hope for this one, it's either going to be,

I don't know, either. Could be X-Force, like properly. It could be X-Force, yeah. Look, I mean, yeah, maybe. I don't know. He sort of did X-Force in, Look, and again, we were talking about this. And I had a, I was reflecting on Deadpool and Warfarin.

You got a lot of time, don't you? We're not doing this podcast. I know, I got so much time. But, you know, to me, that worked, again, I think I said, as like a parody movie, like a scary movie, but made by the company. that made Scream.

It was like it was a movie that made fun of all the Marvel tropes made by the company that popularized all those tropes in the first place. And if they do another one of those, that would be fine with me. That'd be fine with me. You don't let that one go through to the keeper, amazing as it were? Let it go through. That's right. All right then. Do you like Batman?

Do you want news on the Batman? I like Batman, but I don't want news on the Batman. Well, I wish it was the other way around. I wish you didn't like Batman and you wanted Batman news. I'm not changing myself. I'm not changing myself. for this podcast. When we started this podcast, I said, I'm always going to keep it real, and I'm never going to change. And up to this point, it hasn't been a problem.

Yeah, fair point. But now it is. It's not a problem. It's not a problem. Maybe it's a problem for me. I'll do this news, but this is for people who are the opposite of you. Yeah, yeah, opposite of me. So they don't like Batman, but they do want to hear about the bad news. Okay, right, all right. Christina Hodgson will apparently write the Brave and the Bob movie, which is the DCU Batman movie, which be set in the same universe as the Superman movie, which came out last year. It won't be Robert Pattinson. No, probably not. It'll be somebody big and whatever.

Somebody big. Yeah, it'll be a big Batman. Yeah. So she, people were like, boo, and, you know, I get it because she wrote The Flash, a bad movie. But also she wrote Birds of Prey, which I know had its problems. But I don't mind Birds of Prey. But a lot of people don't. Yes.

And they think The Flash was a bad. And I don't disagree. Like, if you're like, I love Birds of, I hate Birds of Pray and you're an idiot. I'm not going to fight you on that. It's like, yeah, it's not great. but and also she wrote bumblebee which I like but James Gunn said this on threads he said I will only say anyone maligning Christina Hodgson's screenwriting skills

was almost certainly never read an actual screenplay by Christina Hodson so it's Hodson sorry she's one of the writers who was with us in the early DCU planning stage I don't think you can judge my writing based on films directed as massive liberties are sometimes taken so yeah I think that is true you know she she wrote those films but the flash the flash isn't one person's mistake it's

there's at least a thousand people involved in making that be terrible. And everybody made a bad mistake. From signing onto the movie to doing their assigned job special effects, waiting until the last minute to finish the special effects. Yeah, that's exactly. Making the sets. You made the wrong. They were like, we'll get Christopher Reeve into reprise his role. They didn't realize that he died already. Yeah, big mistake. God, one mistake after another. The set designers, they should have made better and more good a set. Exactly. They didn't know, did they? It looks bad. The lead actor shouldn't have done all those crimes. Allegedly the crime. Some of them are definitely true, though.

Yeah. Just big mistakes all around. Those are you should have called a Batman flashpoint. Craft services, more like crap services. Cerep. You served up crap food. Crap with a K. Bad.

Yeah, bad all round. Maybe the worst crime of all. Yeah, it might be. Bad food. Bad food and bad times. Yeah. You know, it's good food in Japan, indescribable. Mason, the release date for this, it will be after the back.

Good's a descriptor. What? Good, that's a descriptor. Is it? So I think I've found a flaw in your plan. I don't like this. To be Mr. Japan all of a sudden. I've always been Mr. Japan.

I think people know that about me. I probably have the most respect for the culture and know the most about it. Yeah. Ask me anything. Off camera. I was going to say, how many of those thin walls did you crash through like the Kool-Aid band? In a row?

Yes. I think it was, my max was like 16. It's not bad. It's very respectful. It was, wasn't it? Yeah. So the Batman part two, which is the Robert Pattinson movies not said in this universe, That were released in October of 2027.

So it's at least coming after that. Because they're not going to do two Batman movies in the same. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Live action at least. So I'll see how that goes. This is by deadline. There's a Gundam movie in the works. Gundam movie.

Noah Centenio is going to start along with Sydney Sweening. Okay, all right. This is going to be directed by Jim Mickle. He most recently directed episodes of Sweet Tooth for Netflix, which I watched the first season off and didn't watch a second. Same. Now, I don't know anything about this. I just see some of those robots

and I'm going to pick one up and I go, this is for Nick Mason. That's as far as my knowledge. Do you think that's what the movie's going to be about? Do you think we're going to go into the cinema and it's just going to be like Sydney Sweeney portraying you? Oh wow.

She's just in the store and she's like, which one do I get? Yeah, that's probably what's going to happen. Yeah, okay, well. Now, I know, look, Sydney Sweeney, you know, controversial figure, some say, you know? I guess. And she did have a lot of bombs last year until the last movie that she made,

which was the house made, which made like $250 million. Not bad. You know? That's old school Hollywood, man. He makes some movies that work and some that don't. That's right. Whatever, man.

And Noah Centeno is, he's going to be the new John Rambo in a John Rambo prequel. He's also Ken in the upcoming Street Fighter movie. Yeah, he's getting around. I wish I knew what he looked like. No, he was going to be Heemann. He was Heemann.

He was. He man. We'll talk about He Man. This is co-developed by legendary entertainment and Bandai Namco Filmworks. And you're not going to I'm not going to believe it, Mason, but Netflix will distribute this. Nice.

No. I'm looking forward to a one day theatrical window. So that's, that kind of, again, as someone who knows nothing about this other than the thing that I did, I mean, that doesn't, that's not good, is it? The Netflix are going to release this. No. God, I mean, you know, skyscraper-sized robots battling it out, you know, on Earth and in space, that's going to look great on your phone.

Agreed. and you know the Netflix streaming window they've talked about how short it's going to be for the Warner Brothers releases because that deal is still going through etc and so forth anyways it's time for people are mad at the segment of the show where we look back at the month

and go what are people having a big sook about what are they having a big suck about they'll never be happy maybe that's what it should be called these freaks will never be happy I don't mind that people aren't happy makes me happy that people are doing worse than me that's true isn't it

do you feel like that? Yeah because when I look at you and I see that you're having a bad time boosts me. Thanks, man. And probably vice versa. Yeah, that's right.

You're like, wouldn't want to be them. Yep. That's right. It's good. Yeah, just keep moving. Should that be what the segment's called? Wouldn't want to be them. Keep moving.

Don't think about it. Keep moving. So we're going to start with Tomb Raider. We've got the first look. So this is produced by Phoebe Waller Bridge. And she's writing it as well. Okay, yeah. And it's, oh, what's her name?

Sophie Turner. Sophie Turner. From Game of Thrones. Yeah, she looks like. That's what I'm saying. I mean, it's the book. boobs thing, right? That's what people are upset about, right? Well, yeah, exactly.

So, and because my guess would be that, because Phoebe Wallabrid is around our age, I think. So I imagine this is the version she, the version this, this Tomb Raider is, is the version from like the 90s. So she looks exactly like she's got the green top and the shorts and the guns and the boots and the little glasses. The strands of hair and the little glasses or whatever. She looks exactly like that version. But you're right.

It's the boobs. Yeah. And I saw people in. comments being like, well, Angelita Jolie's Mike Toberator and you won't have, bloody, those movies are terrible. They're bad. They're really bad movies.

Well, I've only seen the second one. And they're also completely interchangeable. I don't know which is which, and I've seen them both. I don't know if I've seen them both. I know Jerry Butler's in one and something Daniel Craig. And Arnold Rimmer is in one of them. Arnold Rimmer is the butler, isn't he? He's in the Butler, yeah.

And I think the reboot is the one before this one was all right. It was all right, yeah. Yeah, because that was based on the last. But Truman Red is getting a whole new thing. There's new games and whatever, and they're re-releasing original ones and whatever. big and hot. I mean, Phoebe Wallerbridge has been collecting paychecks and not producing anything for like five or six years now. That's right. And we say go girl. Absolutely. Why not?

If you can take $50 million from Prime or whoever, you should. But, you know, if this is something that she has complete the creative control over, because like Fleabag's incredible, she did right and was going to star her Mr. Mrs. Smith with Donald Glover. That's right. Before she stepped away. And I don't know how much of her work got through in that, but that's an incredible show. Great. She was solo. She was the droid that was in love with Lando or something. Oh, that's right. and that was nothing. Was she secretly in love with Donald Glover? Is that what's happening here?

That's what's happening here. Because she's always like, I'm going to be married to Donald Glover and I'm a robot. And there was the Indiana Jones movie where she took his whip away and whipped him on the dick and he went, how dare you? And she went, I've been emasculated. Yes, you have.

And I'm the boss now. I'm Indiana Jones. That's right. Yeah. So, yeah, look, Indiana Jones is not a great movie, but like, you know, who cares? It was never going to be. Better than a whip in the dick.

You know what I mean? Tagline? Yeah, that's right. Look inside. You come and see this so he got whipped on the deck. Yeah, that's right. We got a guy outside, if you recall. There was a guy there.

And he was prepared to whip you in the dick. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, look, I think this... It also could be bad. Tomb Raiders. Of course it could. Yeah, of course it could. Yeah.

I don't know, man. But just grow up. I agree. Also, Angelina Jolie's boobs weren't that big either. It's a trick. Neither will Margaret call his boobs in the substance. They're stunk food. They're stunt boobs.

They're stubs. Everyone grow up. Whatever. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Like I said, I think when this was first announced, you're not going to see him. So don't worry about it. Don't worry.

You can use AI if you want to those creeps. If there's something, if you're really want to do, you can do that. You're a bad person. Put into your Rayban pervert glasses and do it live. Jail break your Rayban pervert glasses and then you can make a nude on screen in the cinema or whatever live. Ask Grock to perform that crime for you because it'll do it. Don't even worry. Hey man

Or should I say Masters of the Universe People are upset I think you should say Woke Man Woke Man Masters of the Woke Mistress of the Woke

Wokeness of the Woke As I said When we looked at the original Masters of the Universe movie He's gay He's gay Or at the very least And we like that

To be clear It's good For sure It's a metaphor For coming out Even if they didn't make it like that That's very clearly What he is right

Yeah I think so Which is wonderful Also that original show Is bad Like it's a show for children Yeah Like it's just selling fucking weird toys with weird wheels

Yeah, that's right To children And the one with the old language Is also bad It's bad movie It's bad, it had no budget And it didn't look anything like the show Yeah

Which was bad And then didn't make any money So they didn't make a sequel That's right So this one of course Also goes back to Earth But the difference is He-Man was sent there

By his mother Woke Man sorry Was sent there by his mother To keep him away from evil To keep away from evil But also in the original He-Man I think they might have cut this out

of the original show but Heman's mother is from Earth. She's an astronaut, and she ends up on a tourney and whatever, whatever. So maybe they're working that in. But then, of course, he goes back. And if there's one controversy from this is, for me, it's the fucking Jared Letto's in this.

Yeah. But he is a skeleton. So it's kind of like, well, if I don't have to look at him all the time. And they can just, you know, like, Kobe Commander in the G.I. Joe movies in the second one, like it was Joseph Gordon Lever. Then it was just whoever. Some guy, yeah, exactly.

Just whatever. So, like, I don't know. For me, aside from the Jared Letto thing, I'm looking at this and I'm like, man, I would have killed all of my friends as a child to see this. Because it's got, he looks like the guy. Yep. It's got all the weird spaceships.

It's got a tournier. It's got Scalot. Fistow. It's got all the... Manit-at-arms. We'll see, that's the thing. People are mad, of course. His man-at-arms is...

Fuck off. Is Idris Elba. It's Idris Elba. Yeah. A great actor who makes bad choices. And you should be happy that he's made this particular bad choice. Again, it might not even be good. It could be bad.

Yeah. Look, look, I think we're... Look, I think we should start off this year with a strong statement. And my statement is, if you are upset that a movie based on a cartoon, if you're an adult man, well into your 40s. I don't like this. It seems like you're talking to me specifically. And you are mad that a character in a movie based on a cartoon, based on a toy line,

was white when you were a child and is black now. something's gone wrong in your life. Yeah. And hopefully that's a thing, the thing that's gone wrong you can fix. Absolutely. It's an easy fix, which is... Also, it's not this. This isn't the thing that's gone wrong in your life.

Yeah. You know? Like, and obviously, I don't think we're talking to any of our listeners, but if this breaks... Some of them get through. Yeah. Every now and then someone will be like, wait a minute. Yeah. If this breaks containment...

Pay attention. Look, what you need to do is you need to think about this and you need to go, am I actually mad about this? or is somebody I watch on TikTok or kick or Twitch or YouTube telling you you should be mad about this. And also telling you to do drop shipping and racism. Yeah. Yeah. So think about the things that they're telling you.

Yeah. This has got everything you want. Yeah. And also, like, this is target. Probably Taylor's going to save the day. That's great. Right. Who cares.

This is target specifically at us also. Yeah. I think this is also landed at the right time for me. Like I've got kids that were like, yeah, I'll say this. You know, like my son did say, He's like, I don't think he man's big enough. I'm like, damn, you win the internet. That's right.

Teaming up. I think he's plenty of big. I'm sorry he didn't get roided out, my son. Yeah, I'm sorry he's plenty big enough. He's fine. I'm sorry he didn't, you know, destroy his body. I'm sorry he didn't do all the, the Hollywood gear. Yeah.

To be paid probably like a hundred grand for the first one. For the first one. Like he's, I would say he's as big or bigger than Hemsworth was for the first door. And he didn't, you know, you don't get incredibly roided out for this. this. Yeah. Because also the toys are like more or less the same width. They are heights.

You know what I mean? You don't do that when there's no guarantee this will be successful or will make you a star or whatever. And it's bad for your body. And it's bad for your body. Yeah. Don't start out doing that. No, absolutely.

And, you know, because it's a role where he's mostly naked a lot of the time. And that's, you've got to maintain that for months. It's impossible. Like the Henry Cavill Superman thing is there's like a couple of scenes. But other than that, it's like just fill out. Yeah. Just bloat up. Just blow up.

Just blowed up in the bath, keep your clothes on in the bath and blow it out. Blow it up, baby. We also got, speaking of Henry Cavill, we've got a couple of still photos from Highlander. Looks pretty good. Yeah, I mean, yeah. Is that this year? Don't. Because I know because they delayed it because he wrecked his rotator cuff or whatever.

Oh, yeah. He's sword fighting. Doing too many big swords. Probably was doing too many big swords. Maybe Henry Cavill will make a good movie. Maybe he will. He's due for one, I reckon. He seems to be.

He's also got Voltron later this year. I don't know when that's out, but it is happening. A conformity gate. Why is it called conformity gate? We don't know. We don't know. But what's that about? So the, look, I only watched the first couple of episodes of the most recent and final season of Stranger Things.

But my understanding is that the second half was so bad, subjectively, in some people's opinion, that some people, a whole swath of the fan base went, well, it's not actually bad. What actually is happening is there's going to be a. It looks like everything's wrapped up in a way that is narratively unsatisfying. But what actually is happening is it's all in the mind. Vecna's cast a magic spell on everybody. He would, wouldn't he? And actually it's going to be revealed next week or the week after or the week after that that there's another episode that he's going to reveal everything.

And it's going to be a big, a big reveal and it's going to make everything incredible. This is not the first time this has happened. When's this out? Soon. Yeah, real soon. Just keep those subscriptions going. and it'll be out real soon. This is not the first time this has happened.

It's happened a number of other times. It happened famously on Sherlock. Oh, my. Yeah. Sherlock, the last, look, I like the first two episodes of season one of Sherlock, and it was a downhill slider. There's some other decent ones scattered.

But there was this moment when the last season came out, and a lot of people were like, well, this season's so bad that it must actually be good. And there's going to be enough. They're going to release another episode that's going to reveal that this is, this is, it's going to. It was Vecna.

It's going to turn, it's going to be, it's Vecna. It's going to turn everything around. People were so convinced at the time that they, they looked at the TV guide and they saw like a random show and they're like, no, that's not actually going to be the show they're advertising. That's actually going to be the final episode of Sherlock. Dude, that's a rerun of the British office. That's right. That's a rerun of some mothers do have them.

That's what that is. And you're thinking some mothers do have a good episode of Sherlock, but that's not true, actually. Not anymore. No, no, no. No one's doing a whoopsie in Moriartis, Beret. Dude, no way. He wouldn't allow that. So, yeah, it's someone who didn't finish it.

Yeah. And I probably won't. I'm indifferent to this. Yeah. But Strangy Things is getting it like an animated show later this year that's set between seasons or something. It's like called Strange Things 85 or something. I don't know. Okay.

Anyway, it is what it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyways, after 14 years at the head of Lucasfilm. Oh, yes. Kathleen Kennedy is moving into retirement. Transitioning from incredible film producer, undeniable, into only producing some films, including the Mandalorian versus Groglet and Star Wars Starfighter.

I wish the movie she was already working on. But she, of course, has chosen, and this decision was made a couple years ago, Dave Faloni and Linwin Brennan as head of creative and business. So the idea is that he's the creative side, she's the business side. It's similar to the DCU model with James Gunn and Peter Saffron. He's created, Peter Saffron's the... The business stuff. Now, and there's been stories that like, well, Dave Filoni,

he doesn't like the only good Star Wars and or. That's what he's giving us things like Asoka, or Book of Boba Fed or whatever. Darth Mall guy. Darth Mall, guy. Darth Mall at the mall. Darth Mall, but there's a girl, Darth Mall. He's there?

But sometimes. Wow. Yeah, Darth Tallon maybe. I don't know. So, look, as someone who likes all Star Wars. Same. Speaking of, Caravan, I've ever found a garbage this week, we're doing Star Wars.

That's right. Yeah. 2026, it's the year of lies. We love all Star Wars. We love all Star Wars. All Star Wars is equal. I don't love this choice. Sure.

But we'll see. Who else they're going to get, you know? He's embedded in there. He's done some good work, you know? He's totally like he's paid his dues and they've obviously been like prepping him to do this for like probably a decade plus. Testing out a variety of hats.

Yeah, different hats. They're all slightly different. People don't know this, but they're AB testing with different cowboy hats, yeah. Different animated shows with clone guys. Sometimes they give him an evil hat. Black hat, evil hat? I don't know about that, Mason.

That's not very well. White hat then. That's good. That's good, right? But also it means that future Star Wars projects are up in the air, including this. So Tyco Latiti finished the script on his, as did Donald Glover.

Stephen Soderberg and Adam Driver, they turn in a script by Scott Burns. But that's already done. That's not happening. No, that's not happening. Simon Kinberg also submitted a trilogy, which they said is good, but not quite there yet. James Mangold's version.

Star Wars on the back burner. Apparently Donald Glover and Tycho Wattiti's one are somewhat still alive. And Dave O'one's crossover movie event is on hold according to THR and that's the combination of all things Mandoverse coming together to put them all in together.

We love that. Thorn do a whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Something I'm not interested in. It's going to be on those space whales. I'm coming back and I'm on the space whales. I'm running a back of this. I'm stuck in the blowhole,

which was my plan on like I'm a genius. All I'm saying is television. He's great. No, what's his name? Not Tarkin. It's his name. I just said it. Thrawn.

Thrawn is, he's not like the battle, you know, the battle-hearted genius that you maybe saw in the legends books. But apparently, though, she hasn't been really greenlighting anything recently because she's got one foot out the door. And one foot in the grave. And more from the grave, maybe. She's like early 70s, probably not. But hopefully not.

But so there's kind of this kind of, no man's land of kind of... I would have greenlit everything. Yeah, totally. Let everybody sort it out. $500 million to each project. Goodbye. Goodbye. No takebacks.

Now look, again, I don't agree with all of substance as he's done. I think there are some good stuff in there that I do like. You know, there's some good animated stuff. I like The Last Jedi, which isn't for everybody, and all's the best thing ever made.

You know, and there's probably some... I think you find Dihar's the best thing ever mind. Yeah, Dyer is a good movie. I can't argue it out. I don't know if she worked on that. But as a producer, she produced at E.T. Jurassic Furnacelless List, Twister, Sixth Sense, the last air bend up.

That's a bad one. Very bad. I think, so she has done incredible work. I also think that the sequel trilogy, she did set it up to succeed. And I really do believe that because the directors... I personally believe she set it up to fail. She did on purpose.

Yeah, she did on purpose. Her and Brie Larson. They did it together. They were at some sort of witches coven. And they were like, and they cast some special. And they were like, yeah, let's make all this fail. Because that's something only a woman can do, is that right?

That's what I'm saying. But the directors made sense. Like, picking JJ Abrams to reboot Star Wars, made sense at the time. Bring him Ryan Johnson. I agree. Also, and the third one who was originally... Colo Travroro made sense off Jurassic World and whatever. It did make sense.

Also... But then Colin Romero made Book of Henry. Exactly. And then they started like backpedaling and kind of going backgling. Also, Bob I... I simply wouldn't have backpedal. Same. Bob I also wanted to rush them out every two years, which means, you know, especially with the third one, it really, it didn't work.

Also, like, I think it worked. No, it didn't. I think it did. And then also, she announced like 900 Star Wars movies and projects while she was there, most of which we have not saying. And she gave each of them $500 million. Yeah, I know. That's cool. Like, the Game of Thrones guys, Ryan Johnson.

We had to call Lucas and be like, can you give us some of the money back? We need some of your $500 million, please. Can have your money, please? Have your money? We spent all the money. We spent all the money. We spent all the money and we didn't get any more money back. You don't need it.

You don't need it. You don't need it. You're not making anything. We know. We know you're not. You damn liar. So also I think Indiana Jones was like grossly mishandled for reasons that I've talked about.

They did nothing with it. And then they went, here's a movie with an 80 year old man. Like, what did you think was going to happen? But speaking of deadline, she said, I don't think Indy will ever be done,

but I don't think anybody's interested right now in exploring it. These are timeless movies and Indy will never be done. And she said, you never know, but we are still there. Stephen, Frank and I, Fred Marshall, of course, she's married to also, and Harrison and George. More married.

Yes. So we get to say whether there's going to be more or not. I think there will be at some point, whatever that looks like. But yeah, definitely a mixed legacy. But I don't think this is better. No. Where are we going? But I don't know.

I would love to be wrong. What if Star Wars was incredible, Mason? It is? Oh, yeah. All Star Wars is incredible. That's right. Yeah. That's all the news you can use.

I'm going to use it. And things that you're mad about. I'm going to use it around the, water cooler. Yeah. Like, damn. Damn. He, man, more like he, him, he's gone.

Oh, that's right. It's a joke. It's a, it's on purpose. Yeah. That's the joke. I mean, he has a pronoun in his name. His name is he man. Come on, man.

Yeah. That's the joke. When is they going to? I'm telling you, James. I'm telling you, when is there going to be a he man for men? He man man, man. That's exactly right. You know?

Yeah. Yeah. When's there going to be an axe body spray for men? Oh, two axes. Two axes. I think he's going to get his cool battle axe. Yes. Yeah, that'd be cool.

The sword's the same. It's exactly the sword you want. It's the sword, man. Yeah. That's all you want. It's all I want. It still might be bad. Also, if you haven't seen the trailer, folks, it is, it's the whole movie.

Yeah. And it's, look, and we talk about this. Like, when there's a kid's movie, like a trailer for a kids movie, you watch it, it's the whole movie. And I assume that's because the parents have to see it and go, okay, is this all appropriate for my. kids. I've got to see it. I've basically got to see a moment from the whole thing just to be like, is it too scary? Is it inappropriate or whatever? And they've done that with this. I think it's just because they would like, it's their insurance policy to be like, this is it. Yeah, we're showing you everything so you can't get mad. Absolutely. But we are mad. Also, um, Orco is not in it. But I think

he is. There's space in the trailer for Orco to be there. Maybe it's going to be. I'm Jack Black and I'm Orko. Maybe we'll show up in the Shira movie. Maybe I'm Pat and Oswald and I'm Orco. That's interesting. That's interesting. That's interesting. Interesting, and we're talking about it. Very interesting. All right, we're going to move on to the main segment of the show, Mason. What's that? It's just where we're talking about what's coming out.

Oh, yeah, nice. Yeah, you ready? Yeah, great. All right, let's take a run at this. Things that are coming out this year, we're going month to month. Very exciting. Some of this stuff will shift around. It depends where you are in the world, et cetera, and blah, blah, blah.

Some of the stuff is undated and et cetera and whatever. But we're excited. Let's talk January, even though we're already through it. All right. All right. See, the movies that came out. Yes. Primate, apparently good.

Chimpanzee murder movie or whatever Greenland 2, the migration. I liked Greenland 1, no migration. But I didn't see 2, but I will see it. I'll do a streaming situation. 28 years later, The Bone Temple. We both saw this?

Both saw that. Loved it. It was incredible. It's a different, I mean, it's totally, it's different from the previous one. I like the last one a lot. Me too. Very contemplative.

These work well together. They work well together. This one, I mean, the Bone Temple is a lot, it's a lot meaner and it's a lot. I would say it's more akin. into what you would expect from like a post-apocalyptic movie. Like you've got the... There's some torture elements.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I think it also, like, it works as kind of like an element of this world. Because if this, you know, if this is what's happened to the world, you would have some people who sort of withdraw and become very peaceful and blah, blah, blah. And you would have insane, you know. And this is only a very specific pocket of the UK as well. You know what's going on out and about. Ray Finds is amazing, puts an incredible performance.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It moves forward like the zombie kind of law. They say zombie in it. I don't know if they did in the last one, but they're doing this one. I don't know, man. You might have seen the trailer, but there's like a fire twirling crazy Ray Fines moment. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which is just phenomenal.

I like the fact that they sort of moved to, that they're like, they explored a different aspect of this character where he's like, you know, maybe in his youth he was like a theater guy. Absolutely. That was fun, yeah. Jack O'Connell great as, really good. What's his, he's, uh, Jimmy, Crystal. Yeah. I saw someone in the US was like, I dressed up for 28 years later. As Jimmy Saville.

I'm like, I don't think you understand this. No, no, no. I loved it. And it did bomb as well. It's bombing. Yeah, which is a shame. We won't talk spoilers, but I... It does lead into the next.

Yeah, and I think, again, maybe when we talk about the previous one, to me, this feels like they're leading towards, like, a team up between some of the characters from previous movies and... Introduced here. They've learned that there is a... From what they've learned in these previous movies, they're... There is potential to be a cure. And I think that's probably where they're going with that.

Yeah. But I think people should see it. I agree. And I think it'll probably do pretty well on streaming. It released really close to the last one as well. I think a lot of people didn't know it was out. So I was telling people, like, people always say, what are you seen later? So 28 years later, and they're like, I saw that.

And I'm like, you didn't because I saw it yesterday and when it came out. I know you haven't seen it. You idiot. Yeah, this is the bone team. Maybe that's also the reason why people aren't seeing it, because they're like, didn't we see that? That's what I'm talking about. I don't think people knew it was out. And this is neat.

Costa director, this one as well. It's phenomenal. It's really, it's not for everybody. If you didn't like the last one, you're not probably going to like this one. Yeah. But I loved it. It was amazing. It's a shame we can't talk more about it, but we have to talk about the rip,

which I watched in a plane on my phone. I watched some of it. Yeah. It's pretty good. All right then. That's like, who's going to steal this money? You're stealing it? Are you sure we're going to steal the money?

There's money here. Look, we're in the room. I'm explaining there's money here. All these cops should steal all this money. I have no problem with her. Yeah, it's fine. Who cares, whatever. Get away with it.

Do it. Retire. Yeah. It's like, retire, bitch. It's a Netflix action movie, but better than that. You know, it's, it's elevated. But is it as good as a real movie?

Yeah, I would say so. I mean, I did watch it on my phone on a plane in the middle of the night. Yeah. So. All right. Check Netflix. Well done. As good as a real movie.

Real movie. Download it to my phone, watch it on the plane. Very nice. Mercy. I think it toppled Avatar for the top spot in the box office. No. Well, yeah. Are you doing a big joke?

No, Avatar's been up for over a month. There's, I've not seen it. I didn't see it and I'm probably not going to see it. But we probably will see it for this. But what I like, I've only seen the poster and it's Chris Pratt with his rifle. Yeah. Being a being a soldier man. Yep, Detroit's Avatar.

And then Rebecca Ferguson's in the back. I'm AI. They never added like a, like some sort of hover bike or something in the background so you know it's the future, which I enjoyed. I don't recall that. You would love it. But I did love this. movie when I saw it in cinemas. Excuse me?

I didn't see it in cinemas and I won't see it in cinemas. That's great. What if AI helped you find your dead wife or whatever? And you did it. I didn't do it. I didn't do it, Mason. Too bad. The penalty's death.

Yeah, so bad, apparently. Iron Lung, there hasn't been a lot of reviews for this, but this is the Mark iplier movie which he's self-financed and stars in as based on the video game. It's got a wide distribution. and it's doing pretty well considering the budget and all of that. Mixed response, it seems, but a lot of people seem to be enjoying it. I don't know. It's so early, and I've been trying to find reviews on Reddit,

but a lot of them are just like, I love microphone, I love this. I'm like, well, I don't know what that means. Absolutely. And by all accounts, he seems like a really nice guy, and it seems like a really solid effort. I don't know. It's amazing that he did this and got this distribution, though, deal. Yeah.

Yeah, he did really well out of it. So, yeah, that's cool. People love the game. They love the game. I've seen people say, it's a concept that works very well for a game but maybe it doesn't work for it. I think it might be a little long

considering the, it's said in like one thing. Blood, blood room. It's in a blood room. It's in a blood room. It's in a blood room. It's in a blood ocean.

Yeah. And in terms of TV shows for January, we've got the Pit is back. Okay. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which is Game of Thrones again. If you say so.

Yeah, it's pretty fun. The beauty that... I read... It's crap. No, no, no, no. I read the comic book that it's based on. Oh, it's based on it.

I didn't know that. I read, because I watched the trailer for this. Yeah. And I'm like, because it's by Ryan Murphy, I think. It is Ryan Murphy. So I watch this and I'm like, is this just the substance? And so then I looked it up and it's like it's based on a comic book and there's 30 issues. And I read 30 issues in a day of this.

Is it good? Well, so the premise is that. What is the substance? Well, there's like a, there's like a disease. There's like a virus and it's bloodborne or you can get it. It's like an STI. Yeah. And if you get it, you become beautiful. Cool.

This is the premise of the. comic book. I don't know how different it is in this, but then it turns out that there's a side effect and you can die horribly from this if you get it. So, you know, this people were like rushing out to get this virus because it makes you beautiful, but then it turns out there's the horrible consequences to it. And these two police, these two cops have to kind of like figure out what's causing it. And yeah, is somebody responsible and blah, blah, blah, and kind of thing. And, you know, stop it because now a huge percentage of the population have this. Yeah. And maybe they're all going to die from it.

Also, who's hot if we're all hot? That's up, that's what I'm saying. You know what I mean? But what's interesting about the comic book is I thought it was quite interesting to read. Yeah. But the thing about it was, it was clearly meant to be just a limited series, like the first six issues cover this. And it sort of covers the end of, like, when we start the story, this has been happening for like a few years. Yeah.

And they sort of, the mystery is solved. And then I think it was maybe popular enough to do a series. But at this point, it's all kind of, the story's been told. So it's just... Just kind of ambles along. It sort of ambles it, but a lot of it is set before that initial storyline. But a lot of it was also just like, what if it's a organized crime drama, but some of the characters are very beautiful? It's a good question.

You don't need the premise of this then, do you? And I thought some of that was quite interesting. Yeah. But it's just like, so I don't know, I don't know what the series looked. I think what's happened here is the substance was very popular. Absolutely. And they were like, let's find a property that's like this and we'll fast track it. And they did.

And actually it's bad. Yeah, I've heard it's bad. It looks bad. But who's the blame for that? You are? I forgot to mention send help. The Sam Ramey one came out as well. Oh, yes.

I wanted to see that, but then I had an opportunity to finish Wonder Man or go see Sand Help. I probably should have seen it because I can finish Wonder Man anytime, but I chose Wonder Man. You can finish Wonder Man outside of Cinema House. Exactly. Send Up, I will see. I'm going to try and see it this week. But Wonder Man, I like a lot. I like a great time.

It's not, because, because, My son was like, should I watch this? Because he's just watching all things Marvel. And I'm like, probably not. I don't know. It's not really. It's not for kids, not because it's inappropriate. But I think, no, it's not at all.

Your son would be like, this isn't. Yeah. There's not a big battle in this. Who's Josh Gad? Exactly. That's right. He's frozen. He's frozen.

He's one of the frozen guys. Frozen fellas. So, and look, I think a lot of people have made this observation. And it's not just because the protagonist is black, but a lot of it, some of it feels like Atlanta. The show Atlanta. Absolutely. Like especially there's an episode that...

Or the studio even, there's elements of that. There's an episode that sort of deviates from the main storyline and talks about... So in the show, Simon Williams, played by Yaya Abdulminton II, he wants to be... He's an actor and he works too hard of the craft for Hollywood, quite frankly. And he wants... But when he was a kid, he loved the character Wonder Man, and they're doing a reboot of the movie and he wants to be that character. But the problem is, and this was in the... the trailer is that he has some superpowers that he can sort of control that it kept you know he tries

to keep them hidden from people but in Hollywood now it's illegal to be it's illegal to work in Hollywood with superpowers because of the doorman clause and there's an episode you're like oh what's that the yeah there's an episode that deviates from the main plot to explain who door man is yeah and this kind of this this uh yeah this this story about this guy who's a he's literally a doorman he's a bouncer at a club. He gets like void. He touches some rocks on toxic. He is, yeah, he's one of the Great Lakes Avengers.

And he gains this, these powers. And then he, where he becomes sort of a living portal. Yeah. And his level of fame goes up and goes down. And then there's a disaster. It was very kind of fun and interesting and weird in Atlanta. There's also, there's also an episode where Simon Williams and Ben Kings is character, they get. The Mandarin.

Yeah. They're such a fun duo They're a fun duo They work together They're a fun duo, they work really well together Mates They are mates But there's an episode

Where somebody gets some GoPro footage of Simon Williams using his powers And they have to chase him down He's a bike delivery guy Bike Messenger or something And then it just They get muddled up in these

These sort of backyard makers of substances And then the cops show up And they all just run away at the end And that felt very Atlanta to me Yeah absolutely I think it's absolutely worth a watch It's like

It seems like they just dumped it. Yeah, it's like 8.30 minute episodes. Week to week. Yeah. I thought it also could have been a movie. Yeah, sure. Yeah, yeah. They could have trimmed a little, I think.

But then they would have had to trim the Dorman episode. True. I also think the, just like the exploration of Hollywood and like being an actor and kind of shooting your shot and like living your dreams and how depressing that is and all that was done was done really, really well. It doesn't really feel like there's not a bunch of superhero stuff in it at all. Yeah. But I heard of criticism also that. like he's not very likable like he's selfish and he is but like you know towards the end of it

it's like him and trevor kind of figuring out they're like you know they they do selfless acts for each other and whatever it's i thought it was great and i also think like that's a cornerstone of marble characterization is they have flaws yeah like he's a guy who cares too much about the craft of acting and it's causing everything else in his life to suffer and joey panza is in it joey panellian as himself. Shrinking's back also. There you guys. I started that as well.

It is. Just before we go on though, Mason, you have to go to work soon. Not this, real work. Yeah, really. So we might do six months this week, six months next week. That's probably the best way to do it. Yeah, let's do it. And then we're going to have time to hang out in our personal lives.

Is that what we're doing? We'll not have time. No, you have to go to work, don't you? I do have to go to work. Okay. Let's do February. We've got out the Strangers Chapter 3. All right.

Wuthering Heights. Yeah. Like this, though. Like this with quotation marks. Air quotes. Because it's an interpretation. Wethers, originating heights. I've got to say, I don't care for any of the marketing for this.

Oh, because it's like they're attempting to do like, we're probably having an affair. We don't believe you. I know. We don't believe you. Also, I don't care. Also, I don't care. Do it. Do it.

Do it, cowards. We dare you. We dare you to have a... Ruin your whole lives. Yeah, we dare you to up to end your relationships, your real lives for this movie. Will people be like, it was all right? Yeah. Great job.

The early word is it's pretty good. deviates wildly from the source material also also because Emma Fennell who did Promising Women Solberg Promising on women in particular is amazing You keep saying that

What are you got shares in The streaming rights to promising you're I have a board ape NFT Which is Oh and it looks like It looks like Yeah the one of the characters I can't remember which one

Okay Because I haven't seen it Right And that's what I'm best to be Terrific Yeah But it's her kind of It's her interpretation

of it. It's like what she felt when she first... In Turp. In Turp, exactly. So Goat also, which is a basketball, goat animated movie or whatever.

Is that an NFT based as well? No, it's the Spider-Verse people as well. And actually, my kids are interested in saying it. All right, then. Is it the goat or goat? I can't remember. No, it's just called goat. Yeah, but it's got like Steph Carrey and whatever.

Aaron Pierre is in it as well. There you go. So that's cool. That is cool. Crime 101, you know this? That's Chris Hemsworth and Ruffalo. And Barry Kergan and Hallie Bair. Barry.

She was in Swordfish. That's true. That is undeniable. Why did you say that? Because it is true. It is true. Who's directed this? Because I remember seeing the director and being like, okay, because it looks kind of like a Netflix movie.

But it also looks a little bit like a real movie. It looks like a real movie. This is Bart Leighton. What did he do? Crime 101. Did you see American animals? Yes. Yeah, there you go.

This looks really fun. Good luck, have fun, don't die. Absolutely. Sam Rockwell, yep. This is Gaw, Binski. Very good then. It's a time travel kind of grand hog day kind of guy coming back from the future to stop

an impending robot apocalypse thing. And he's realized, because the trailer's out and he's realized that he keeps going to a diner, is that right? Yeah. People in the diner collectively have the greatest chance of saving the world. That's why he's there also, or he's crazy. Yeah. Those are the two options.

Probably both. Looks fun of that Sam Rockwell. Absolutely. Then we've got the bluff, which is the Carl Urban Pirate movie. It's him and... Who else? is it Mason? I don't know.

It's the first I'm hearing of this. It's a first I'm hearing of it. Priyanka Chopra, that's right. Oh, good. Okay, great. Oh, Timmy where Morrison is in it. Not bad. I'm loving this.

Nothing wrong about. So that looks fun. You should watch a trailer for that. Will it be good? I don't care. I don't care. It's produced. One of the producers is Joe Russo,

if you care about that. I do. Frank E. Flowers is the director. Frankie Flowers. That's right. Who directed The Bluff. Yeah. Scream 7.

Nice bluff. You got it. This is Frankie Flowers. Yeah. Nice prophet. Show him for something to it. So the pilot ship was, fell on it. That's right.

I'm freaky flowers. Scream seven? Ah, no. Yeah, all right. All right. All right. I guess. I think it's going to do a lot of deep fakes in bringing back.

Well, look, it's Dewey's back. Even though he died. Oh, it's ghost face. He's back. It's goes face. He's going to go to. Matthew Lillit is going to be in an award. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Because they, you know, they fired the original cast or the original star. For having opinions. Yeah, faming opinions, which is, which sucks. And she was right. And it's proven to be right since. And then in terms of TV show There's a remake of the Burbs Oh yeah

All right The Knight Agent is back Who's that? The Night Manager? The Knight Manager? The Knight Manager is back Am I thinking of a different thing? You might be?

No, this is a different thing Okay There's a show called The Night Agent And it's back It's a Netflix thing and it's back That's great Paradise Season 2 You know this one?

No Or maybe I do? It's the one It's where they go in an underground bunker because the world's ending and whatever it's got Sterling K. Brown's got James Marsden Oh, sure, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's good, I liked it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like conspiracy and whatever.

Then we've got Scrubs. Scrubs, Scrubs is returning. Scrubs reboot? I don't know, man. There's someone who likes Scrubs. I don't know if I... I'll watch the first five minutes. Yeah, because didn't they knock down that hospital in real life? Maybe. But they'll say their discounting season nine, which is sort of a soft reboot anyway. If you say so. That's what I'm telling you, mate, so. But I'll check it out because I was a big, Scrubs fan.

And then our monarch legacy of monsters will return. Oh, very good. Which also, the Kurt Russell character who's also played by White Russell is getting a spin-off prequel starring Wyatt Russell. It's called Dadson. He's his dad and his son. How can you be your dad and your son? How's he going to juggle that relationship?

What's he going to date his girlfriend and his own mum? I don't like that, man. Yeah, don't. You shouldn't be able to do that. Well, they've greenlit it. Well, they cost a billion dollars. What? Yeah.

There was an episode of Red Dwarf about that too. Yeah. Oroboros. Oroboros. That's our Red Dwarf episode. That's right. Well, we already did it. This is because we talk about Chris Barry.

Oh yeah, we did. There you go. We got two already. We got two out. So that covers this year and next year. Two out. Next time we got March. We got hoppers, which is Avatar with Beavers.

If you say so. It looks fun. It looks like Pixar, but it might actually do well this time because the other stuff hasn't. The Bride, which is another Frankensteiny thing. It's got Christian Bail and she's in Power Rangers. The new one. She's Rita, but she's done better things. Oh, Elizabeth Banks.

Elizabeth Banks. All right. Okay, great. Is she the bride? Is she the bride? I don't know. No, I'm wrong. Sorry, it's not.

It's Jesse Buckley. Okay. And Maggie Gillenhol's directed this. And Christian Bail is in it. Jake Gyllenhaal is in it. Peter Sarsgaard is in it. Yeah, it could be cool. I don't know why I thought Elizabeth Banks is in it, but she's not.

Don't listen to me ever again. What do you got, Elizabeth Banks, Brian? Maybe I'll do, Mason. Project Hail Mary, excited for this. I mean, I mean, you've elevated my expectations beyond what is possible, and I will inevitably be disappointed, and that's your fault. Apparently, it's really long. Because you've mentioned it a couple of times.

It's going to be two hours and 36 minutes long. That's not bad. And Ryan Gosling already played a space man. He was Neil Armstrong. Anyway, I'm going on the mode. Let me on the moon. I've got to God, let me on the moon. And his character in Crazy Stupid Love was also an astronaut.

Let me on the moon. he's like, let me on the moon. Steve Caret, let me on the moon. Let me date your daughter and I'll go on the moon. Weird movie. Some funny stuff in that, but there's some weird stuff in that movie. I don't like it's crook. And also he's like, Steve Corell, you've got to dress like this.

Don't dress like that anymore. What are you doing? Yeah. Let me on the moon also. Yeah. Well, it was 2011 or whatever. That's right. The 2011 was 15 years ago, if you can believe that.

That's right. Yeah. We're a sockless loafer. I agree. Just go nuts with it. Go nuts with it. Then we got Ready or Not 2, here I come. Come on, man.

What? Oh, wait, no, I was thinking of Ready Player 2. No. I was ready to be very upset. Did you read Ready Player 1 or Ready Player 2? No. Why not? But people I know read it and were like, this is awful.

Which one? The first one, the second one. The first one. I don't know if anybody read the second one. Yeah, I heard it's way worse. I've heard it's way worse. Yeah. Which also isn't.

Anyway, Ready or Not 2? I'm excited for that. That looks good. Ready Player 2 feels like a TV show there's also a movie coming on. I don't know if you saw the trailer. There was a trailer for a movie that had Zazi Beats in it.

And it's a similar premise. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't remember what it's called, but it's the same thing. It's not the same thing, but it's, it's, um... As Ready Player 2. Yeah, it's, um... They will kill you.

They will kill you. Yeah, that looks awesome. Yeah. But yeah, it is the same premise, yeah. It's kind of the same premise. Oh, she gets employed by a hotel, I think, or something like that, and they're like, and we have to make a sacrifice and stuff.

But then they pick the wrong person and she's going to beat them all. up. Yeah, that's cool, man. Elizabeth Banks directed this. Come on, man. No, it's not true. Sorry.

I'm sorry I said that. And then in terms of TV shows, we've got Young Sherlock, which is a Guy Ritchie prequel, Oye Governor. Okay, right, sure. Robert Danny Jr., Jewel law movies. You know what I'm noticing a trend of? A lot of stuff that's free. A lot of stuff that is now in the public domain.

It has been for a long time. Frankenstein. Mason, Mason, Mason. Sherlock. None of this is true. Frankenstein meets Sherlock. Frankenstein is Sherlock's dad. Frankestine is Sherlock's dad

He's a 19 year old Sherlock Is Guy Ritchie on this? Bah, blah, blah, blah, blah. This is Madonna's on this. I would hope she would be. Maybe it's not. No, it is. Okay, then.

Youngshel and Guy Ritchie attached to the project as well. So he was at one point. So I don't know where that's connected. It seems to be loosely connected. Then we've got Invincible Season 4. That got a trailer recently. What did you think, Mason? Did I see it?

I don't know. I don't think I did. Look cool. That's out in March. I'm excited for that. What's going to happen in the Ultramite Empire and whatever. Probably a big fight. Probably to a big space fight and someone will get cut in half.

Big punches. There's a game, I think. Yeah, there's a one-on-wide fighting game coming out. Which, and I think maybe they've... Wasn't they already in Mortal Kombat some of those guys? Obby Man was, yeah. I want an open one-invincible, whatever, whatever. That's way hard of you.

The thing about Invincible as a one-on-one fighting game is most of them are brawlers. True. Almost all of them are brawlers. Yeah, no, that's fair point. Brawlers that can fly. Brawler smashy guys, yeah. Dead Devil born against season two. Looks good.

I liked the last one, even though it was very clearly chopped up and reassembled and reshot or whatever. I think overall was pretty good. And this trailer looks great. We got a little flashback of Foggy, young Foggy? Yeah, a young Fog. Young Fog. Is that because he's also with Karen in that?

Yeah. And I wonder whether that's also a flashback or is that because she was mostly absent from that last show because her and Foggy were dead. That's right. Before the show started and they retooled that, which I'm glad they did. Yeah, yeah. Also, I think Foggy will just return. I don't think he's really dead.

Yeah, no. It's happened in the comics. He didn't die in the comics. It's interesting that, and here's another thing I thought about this week, is that Karen has never come back in the comics. She died in the night. She's been dead almost 30 years and they've never brought it back. I didn't know that.

She died in the Kevin Smith run, if you can even believe that. Yeah, it's something I can believe. But when you think about it, it's because so many of Daredevil's other supporting characters have died and come back to life. I think they're like, Electra Foggy came back. The hand, guy, whatever was no stick. I think they just went, we've done to,

many of these. We can't bring her back. There's no... I think at this point, it's fine, no, right? I think it will be fine at this point, yeah. Maybe this will be the one. Like, maybe they'll do a bit of MCU synergy and be like, she's just a laughing at. But also, she died, like, she didn't die in a magical way. I think she died of a heroin overdose or something like that. So it's tricky to... And Jessica Jones is back. Yes.

Yeah. Punching her way around town. Punching and flipping and sort of flying. And you can sort of fly sort of big jump. Big jump. Yeah, that's cool, man. And then One Piece is back too. One Piece is back too. One Piece season two live action, I should say. I didn't mind the last one. Fine with me.

He's a gumpy guy. If I have time. You can make time. I don't know. April, the Super Mario Galaxy movie, you watch that trailer? Yoshi's in it or whatever. I didn't see it, but I can imagine it. Do you know what Yoshi looks like?

Yeah. I think it looks fun. I think... Talking dinosaur. He sort of talks. It could be, I hope it's funny. I hope it's funny. That's what Mario says.

Yeah, which wasn't funny at all. Agreed. So I hope it's not just look at this, look at that. I hope it's like... Will it will be. jokes. I don't think it will be. Okay. Yeah. Why would they mess with the thing that made so much money? Just make the

Luigi's Mansion movie with Charlie Day live action also. That would be cool, right? Whoa, we're talking ghost. Is that normal though? The ghost part is normal. That's why you're so shocked. Okay, that's good. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The drama, that's a Zendaya Robert Pattinson movie. Oh, yeah. I'm looking forward to that. Which apparently

has some big twist and everybody already knows the twist, so don't know it either. I don't know it either, but people like everybody, Somebody in Reddit was like, actually everybody knows the twist. And when you see every Twitter, you'd be like, I didn't. Lee Cronin's the mummy. And which one is this?

This is not the Brandon Fraser one. This isn't the Brandon Fraser cycle. Okay, right. Yeah. This is a different to the mummy. Yeah. Because again, it's free. It is free.

You know what else is free? Drama. You know what else is free? What's that? Love. If you can get it. Yeah. That's actually quite, that's quite thoughtful of you.

Yeah, yeah. You've come back from Japan with a certain wisdom. I like to think that I'm worse. I like to think I didn't learn anything That's good I didn't squeeze through that hole That's true The Prosperity hole or whatever it is

It wasn't for prosperity It was for enlightenment But I went through backwards Oh so you got unenlightened Hell yeah That's good The trailer looks great Apparently it's very upsetting

So this is the one that they're like Oh we're rebooting the mummy It's going to be scary But then also Universal or whatever It was like Oh maybe people just want Brendan Fraser with Rachel Weiss which is also true.

So are these both universal? I think they are. That's crazy. But this one's called Lee Krona. And is Elizabeth Banks involved? Yeah, I think she's directing it. Wow. Yeah.

As Rita Repulsa. That's what it says. It's Lee Kronen who I think... But the TV reader Repulser. Yes, that's right. Wow. So he directed Evil Dead Rise. Oh, yep.

I think. Mean and awful, but good. Yeah. Which I liked a lot. So, you know, man. Yeah, okay. I like that. Like the sound of it.

And then, I didn't know this was coming out. There's a movie adaptation of four kids Walk Into a Bank. Do you read that? No, I don't think so. It's a graphic novel about kids who decide to rob a bank. I don't remember that.

It's really good. Oh no, I've heard of it, but I have not read it. So Matthew Rosenberg graphic novel, the film's got Liam Neeson in it and other people, kids. Jim Sturge is in the bigger. I'm one of the kids, I'm near Liam Mason.

I'm tall, Liam Taw, Liam Nation, I'm so tall. Cool. You don't remember this? You should read it. I have seen that cover, yeah. You probably recognize the cover, so. I don't know whether this is going to be good,

but I do know that that's a good comic if you do want to read good comic. And then there's a movie called Mother, sorry, then there's the Michael movie, which is the Michael Jackson movie. Oh, right. I think that seems like it's poised to make a lot of money. Of course it is, yeah.

Which sucks. He's also, because there's a Michael Jackson musical is currently in Melbourne. He's wrapped up, and people will be like, you should see it. I'm like, no? He dances. He does the thing where he tilts.

I know what he did. He tilts. He tilts, did he? Anyway, I don't like him. I don't like him, but I don't like what he did. Even if we've talked about it. The tilting. Yeah, the tilting, I guess.

And then, speaking of, like, music movies, there's a movie called Mother Mary, and it's directed by David Lowry, who directed the Green Knight and the Old Man and the Gun. It's a psychological, like, thriller movie. It's got Anne Hathaway as, like, a huge pop star and whatever. Huh. It looks really cool.

It could be really interesting. Anne Hathaway. She a little old. Boston? I mean, how old with Lady Gaga? I don't know. 67? She's 67, yeah.

Yeah, she looks great. That's right. How old shirt, you know? Yeah. 67? I think she might be 67. 6-7. Nice.

Nice. Get the youth in. Get them in. Get them in. In terms of TV shows for April, we've got De Bois. It's back for the final season. Euphoria, season three. What even is this anymore, I guess?

I don't know if you saw the trailer. Everybody's like an only fans model. I think that was something. Or like running drugs? I don't know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then Star Wars colon ball dash shadow lord. Wow.

A prequel, in-between called Darth Maw series. Nice. How'd he get them legs? Where'd those legs go? I think they already did that. Okay. What happened to his legs? Did his legs get a body and they're off doing things?

Maybe. And he meets his legs in a shopping center order. Legs, what are you doing here? I'm legs. Oh my God, they're talking legs. It's Star Wars. Anything can happen. That's true.

He shouldn't be surprised at all. is real at Star Wars. Ah, talking legs as usual. He's his famous line from the trailer. I got a few more to go, Mason. In May, we've got, speaking to Anne Hathaway, having a hell of a year. The Devil West Prada 2. That's right.

Yeah. Could be fun. Animal farm. Could be bad. It's definitely bad. It'll be bad. We know people who worked on it and they say it's bad. Well, you do.

I do. And? They said it was bad. Yeah. Mortal Kombat 2. This got pushed. It's now coming out in May of this year. And then the show.

sheep detectives. You know this? It's the Hugh Jackman one where he gets murdered and then he's been reading murder mystery novels to his sheep. The person I met who worked on also worked on the sheep detectives. And did they say good things about the sheep detectives?

They said it was good. It looks really fun. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So this person's just working on talking on talking animal movies, aren't they? Werench out. There's all I'm saying.

Expandage Horizons. Yeah, come on. As someone who's been doing the same thing for 12 years. Expandage Horizons, all right? And then we've got the Mandalorian versus Groglet. Oh, you're looking forward to this. No. I think we're looking forward to this.

I think we said... It's Star Wars. We're looking forward to seeing whether it would bomb. Yeah. Because this is the test, isn't it? We'll see. I mean, maybe there's more love for this than we know or understand. Maybe.

Online Star Wars is not real Star Wars discourse. If you talk to someone about Star Wars and hear of life, it's all right. Yeah, I'll Star Wars. Okay. I'll see that. Yeah, look. I'll see that. Yeah, I was going to see that, but when I went to the cinema it wasn't there.

I saw it on streaming. I saw it. I saw it as streaming. It was all right. I think I saw it. I saw it last one, maybe. Really? You saw the rise of skywalk?

I don't know. See, the thing is, I was on my phone and I'm on my phone currently. I will be on my phone. So I think I saw it and it was all right. I liked it. Yeah. I don't know.

I haven't put any TV shows for me. Maybe there's nothing significant coming out. And then in June, or nothing yet, because TV shows, they shift around. TV shows are magical. Then in June, we've got masters of the universe. Brackets, my son said he's too small. He's bigger than you.

Yeah. I don't think he's too small. No, I don't think so either, yeah. He's great size. Listen, you try it. Me. Or you. I'll do it.

You're all your son, yeah. I'm at the right age where I'm going to juice out of my mind and I show up one day and I look weird. Yeah, nice. And I've had a facelift. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Whereas he I am on the reverse is epic. My best wide life.

Disclosure day, Spielberg. Oh, it's, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's aliens again. Yeah, it's aliens again. Well, he loves those aliens, this guy. Again, why's he doing them so much? What's he doing? Scary Movie 6?

All right then. Parity. Parity. Parity. It's back. It's back. Parody. Toy Story 5.

All right. Could be about iPads. It is. Yes. Supergirl? That's one we haven't really talked about because there was recently footage of more footage of Lobo. That's right.

And Jason and I've been going around saying, Hey, Ackleman, I love Lobo. That's right. Yeah. Algo man's a loser. But Lobo's cool and me. That's right. So that's fun, isn't it?

Great. I'm really looking forward to Supergirl. Me too. And then there's untitled fifth jackass film. We recently covered Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow for our comic book club. We did. And Sarabi made an amazing video. She videoed it, which is a format I think we'll be trying out for the comic book club

at Big Sandwich. Oh, yeah. That's right, Tarabi, you're up for more work. No, this is her idea. I didn't make her do it. All right? Okay. But going forward, you are making her do it.

If she wants to, she doesn't have to. Interesting. Optional. If she wants to keep her job. No. Either. So you're saying she's not keeping her. a job. I'm saying I'm just going to stop. I quit. That's what I'm saying. Instead of making a

decision, I'm going to walk away. It's good. Folks, he's walking to the ocean. I don't even know the ocean was here. Yeah, man, I got it brought in. Uh, again, we'll finish it up next week, but untitled fifth jackass film is coming out this year. They're bringing new jackasses. Yeah, right. That's what they're doing out. Bunchy new jackasses. When did you get the call, mate? I really think, James. When did you get the call? That come on, mate. Because they're bringing in new jackasses. So when did you get the call from them? They called me today. And they said, do you have Nick Mason's number?

Oh, no! No! What time do you have to go? Oh, like 10 minutes? Oh, yeah, yeah, we do have to stop. But it's interesting. I think Johnny Knoxville said, I'm still in, but they can't hit me in the head anymore. Fair enough.

Yeah, I've had too many concussions. The next one will knock me off for sure. I think that's totally reasonable to say something like that. Should we move to the next segment of the show? Yes, we should. What is it? It's what we read. What is it?

What we got to read? What's it else is it going to be? That's it. That's all it's called. That's the whole thing. Here's a theme song. I'm doing the theme. This is a great segment and it returns.

It is great. And it'll never go. So the reason we had to cut the show is because we record it. We're recording the Star Wars, Caravan, Garbages, and they're like 45 minutes. They do go long. Yes. They'll be closer to 30 minutes. But yeah.

So whose fault is that? I don't know. Lucas. George Lucas for making movies that have a lot to talk about him. shouldn't have done it. Mason, what have you read? I've got so much stuff. I got so much stuff.

I'm going to parcel it out. Me too. I'm going to save up for, because I watched a bunch of stuff over the holiday period and read a bunch of stuff. And I'm like, but there's going to be weeks in the future where I'm like, I'm just watch YouTube.

Yeah. So I'm going to hold some stuff in a reserve. I know we both watched the movie Bugonia. We did. Which is a lot of fun. I enjoy that a lot. If you've never seen a Yorgos-Lanthamos movie, I think this is probably the one to get into it.

Because it's the most straightforward. It is. There is some things open to interpretation. but also it just tells you. It's Jesse Plemons, plays a kind of conspiracy theorist who kidnaps Emma Stone, who's a high-powered CEO because he believes that she is an alien from the Andromeda Galaxy and she's going to, you know, she's there to ruin the world

and he has to stop it. But it's, I think it's, there's some like brief moments of like shocking gore. Absolutely. I would say. So if you're not into that. And there's some hilarious moments. Stabros Helkeus is in it as well. That's right.

Stabby. So, yeah. I really enjoyed it. But here's another thing that I would recommend. I watched it. This is an Australian documentary, but I saw it at The Movies. Oh, the movies.

And it's called the Golden Spurtle. Oh, you're talking about it. This was recommended to you a number of times. But it's set in a town in Scotland called Carbridge, where for the past three decades, they've been holding the world porridge-making championships. Yes. And it's just a fun little, quirky little documentary.

It's all real. Do you reckon kids are like this? Maybe. I mean, so it's sort of, you know, it's a lot of fun and there's some colourful characters, but they don't, it sort of runs very naturally. There's no, there's some characters where you might be like, well, in a different documentary they'd be like,

this guy's the villain kind of thing and this guy's the hero and you've got to, but they're just like, they just sort of let it all ride kind of thing. Yeah. It's just, it's a nice, and it's, you know, it's fun and it's, it's a feel good kind of situation. I'm going to start reading about the golden spurtle. Yeah. And yeah, it's just a good, nice time.

It's only out of, it might be on streaming in your country. It's not out on streaming in Australia for some reason, but it's... Yeah, it's still playing cinnamon over, yeah, yeah. So it's kind of, it might be a little bit difficult to track down, but it's, it's... But it's Australian, you say. It is Australian, yeah, because one of the competitors is coming from Australia. I think that's why that's why that's happened. And a spurtle is what you used to stir porridge.

It looks like a table leg in his little table leg in his stir porridge. What do you spoon it out with a spoon? Regular spoon, yeah. Okay. Well, I've been reading a bunch of just graphic novels I've been. I was like, what's some good graphic novels? And this one is by Christopher Cantwell and Tyler Cook. It's out of Alcatraz. Christopher Cantwell, he wrote an Iron Man story.

He did write. Miami One, we looked it. Was that that one? Yeah, it was, yeah. So it's basically, people might record, but there was a very famous escape from Alcatraz in the early 60s. I've never heard of it. And it was a movie based on it with Clint Eastwood.

It's widely believed, and it's the official report is that those three men died. but this book basically picks up after that and it's like, what if these men survived? This is like Darth Mall. It is like Darth Mall's legs. Yeah. So it's like, what if they didn't happen? What would they've been up to?

You disappear in this era like it's a very interesting time to be on the run, I guess. If you want to have a look, you more than you buy that if you want. But I really enjoyed it. It's kind of a crime caper. The art's great. Yeah, it is great. Very straightforward storytelling.

You can tell who's who, Mason. That's what we're. we want. There's some violence in it and whatever. We love that. It's a lot of people being like, get it together. Yeah,

there's a lot of that. Get a job. It feels like a movie like that would have come out in like the 70s. Yeah, right. You know,

I could see it. I could see it being made in that kind of, what's that kind of, like that grim kind of 1970s noir kind of whatever that kind of stuff. I've forgotten all my words.

I don't know any words. I didn't need them while I was away. We don't need them now. I threw out a bunch of my words. We just got vibes now. We do have vibes. And how the vibes crook. Anyway, that's great.

I really enjoyed it. Yeah. Do we move to the next thing in the show? Let's move to the next seven of the show. I'm going to do that right now. I'm going to do it more than you. It's called Letters. It is.

This is the lettuce segment of the show. It would be a fun prank if Rackham, who uploaded this lettuce theme had deleted it over the holidays. That would be funny. That would be fun. Because I would have been like, well, we'll be fun. Woo-woo? Yeah. Woo-woo.

He's doing your job for you. Correct, yes. If you go to Weekly Planetpot at Gmail.com, as in send a Gmail there, Mason, you can look at it. Or there's a thread in the Planet Broadcasting Greatmates Group every week. That's right. What do you got in terms of letters for us? He's an email from Noah.

Noah? Nice boat. Got him. Got him. Noah from Wisconsin here and also the Bible, it says. Oh, yeah. Over the break, I watched the movie Song Sung Blue. Oh, the movie where Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson play a slightly fictionalized version

of real-life couple who started. a Neil Diamond tribute band. While I'd heard the movie wasn't brilliant before going in, I ended up loving it because it was set in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and featured quite a few local references. I've heard that, yes. And my brother was even able to recognize what part of Milwaukee they lived in because of a running gag about airplanes.

My question relating to this is, are there any movies or shows you love? Because they're set somewhere you're familiar with, and you can pick out a bunch of local references. I'll tell you this. Leftover season three, set in Melbourne. I've heard that. Yeah.

I haven't watched that yet. There is a movie currently being filmed in Melbourne called Empire City with Gerard Butler in it. Oh, Jerry Butler's bouncing around, didn't he? And so they have changed a bunch of signs in Melbourne and they've brought in some like American police cars and etc. And I'm excited to watch that and be like, that's Colin Street. That's the Golden Gate Bridge.

That's the Golden Gate Bridge. That's the Golden Gate Bridge. We call it the Goldie. Yeah. I mean, original ghost writer filmed in Melbourne, but supposed to be said in Texas or something on that. You can see the Yarra in that. Yeah, it's just the Yarra River. They filmed the Crown Casino.

They filmed their crown casino, you can tell. Oh, yeah. Aren't they cleaning up the Yarra as well? We don't have time for this. They're trying to make it swimable. That's no way. Good luck. Yeah, no.

Imagine being the... You could not pay me to be the first person to test that out. I bet I could pay you. I probably could. Write a figure on this piece of paper. All right. What do you think? Just as talking legs.

I'll take it. Let's go. This is from Dab Hodkin. who says, Comic-Boo movies hypothetically dry up what niche does the pod pivot to? I think it'll be brand movies

and creator-driven story. That's going to be... I mean, we just do whatever's out. Yeah, exactly, yeah. It doesn't really matter at this point. I mean, the answer is, I think, whatever interests us, and luckily we have enough listeners

who are like, we are also interested in that stuff. We like big movie. We love big movie, and they'll never not be big movie. That's right, I hope not. Sometimes big movie will, perhaps in future,

big movie will pivot to medium screen, but it'll still be big movie. movie. Totally. I think there's always room for big movie. There's always time and place for big movie and it's on this podcast. I think by the time there's no more big movie will already be a big grave. Or little grave, depending on what happens to us. Like a mass grave or just a really big grave? Depends what happens, man. We'll just see what happens. I mean, I'm on reverse so set fix. Maybe it'll be just big grave for me. That's a good point actually. Yeah. Cool. Yeah. Isn't he well from Ross?

Ryan, eye contact. Hey, James and Mason, I don't know why, but this question popped in my head. What percentage of the podcast would you say you maintain eye contact with each other? I like to imagine you either look into each other's eyes the entire time or never. Thanks for the great pod, Ryan. It's probably somewhere in between that. But now what it is, it's when somebody points out that you breathe automatically. Yeah, now, am I looking too much?

Yeah, exactly. Now we don't know. I mean, I look at my computer a lot. Yeah. And you look at your phone. Yeah. Because you're shopping. That's exactly right.

I'm also shopping. But no, I don't know. When you talk to a person, it's like that amount. You don't stare the whole time. You look away. You look back. No, I don't know. I don't know how to...

We don't know. Half the time. Half the time. Yeah. Whenever we're looking up a reference, we're in the phone. That's right. I think oftentimes I will look at you in the eyes when I'm trying to sell a joke that I'm not confident on. But I'm like, I can see that.

Yeah. And so I'll be like, I'm looking in your eyes and so you have to react to it. Because otherwise you'd be a monster. And that's where talking legs comes from. Talking legs. Yeah. So Ivan Sharp who says, who do you think will be the next villain for the fast and furious franchise after Jason Momoa fights them for a bit and Jen joins the team.

I think it should be Jeremy Renner. I don't think it should be Jeremy Renner. But interesting you say that because recently Vin Diesel came out and said, no one said the road, it's a picture of him and Paul Walker. It says no one said the road would be easy, but it's ours. One that has defined us and become our legacy and a legacy last forever. March 17th, 2028, fast forever. That's what it's called.

Wow. Paul Walker is probably coming back. I don't know who the villain is, but it's probably going to be AI while they use AI to bring back Paul Walker. Or because at street level, it'll just be some gang. It'll be that. Yeah. So are we talking after 11? We're talking about whatever.

I think they're saying next villain is in this one coming here. Because they're going to the streets. It'll be like, yeah. They have to go to the streets. They have to go to the streets for the next one. Because they need to bring the budget down as well. I think they're going to have to do the streets. streets and the next one. I think they're also going to have to do it

like Blues Brothers style. Like they need to get two, I reckon they need to get Vin Diesel and Leti, Michelle Rodriguez, and they're in a car and they have to get the band back together kind of thing. We got to get the band back together because we nearly died at that dam or whatever. We need to die at the dam, you know?

I got another email? I'll find another email. What are you doing? I can do this one. James Burley says, can James please have a meltdown about Ubisoft cancelling Sans of Time remake? Yeah, I mean, honestly, I didn't think this was coming out like in my heart of hearts

they cancelled it recently even though it's pretty close to being done and Goobosov like stopped a bunch of work and they're retooling it they're a bad company they should give this either back to Jordan Mechner or to a better company so I don't know what they're doing but will they do that and fuck them quite frankly

not just for this but for other reasons but yeah sucks I really I was really looking forward to that a sense of time though still exists as an incredible game which you can play on various platforms including Gog. We love Gog. We love Gog.

There's one more email This is from Marco. Subject line Regarding whether or not I should attend a class co-taught by Boris Johnson. Co-taught. I don't know, man.

Who's the other one? Hey James and Mason. My name's Marko. I'm sending an email from Miami. I hope you two are doing well, thank you. Great. I'm from Miami as previously stated I'm currently attending

the University of Miami. Possible only because one of the benefits they give employees of the university who stay longer than 10 years. My dad, in this case, is the benefit of tuition remission. Sweet.

You get a little free ride. That's good. I'm standing outside of class today waiting for my professor to arrive. Suddenly from behind me, I heard some level of commotion and I turn around to see what it is. I see from about 10 feet behind me

a man in a black suit with horrendous yellow hair fopping about. I think there's no way it's who I think it is. I do a double take and it's none other than Boris Johnson. Fuck me. Obviously, I wonder what he's doing in Miami and apparently he's co-teaching a course

titled Boris Johnson Leadership legacy and lessons learned. You know he's not like He hasn't planned out a curriculum No absolutely not You know he's just going to stand up there And spin his fucking wheels Obviously I'm immediately intrigued

As to how the freakish little ghoul Is going to lie to university students And what his lessons learned are Yeah Should I join this class to bear witness to this I mean it could also Dance about his obvious corruption It could also be an easy credit

Yeah Like so Yeah yeah yeah I mean you know what He's probably He's definitely not marking the papers though Is he? No

Well maybe he is Maybe that's a condition of this It definitely wouldn't Absolutely you should do this I mean I would Yeah 100% I'll do that. And also you can like make fun of him.

Yeah. You can all team up and like just harass him. That's so true. Relentlessly if you wanted to. So not only do we have to leave your children of approach. They're coming in now, Mason. We've got to wrap up the show. We're approaching threateningly because they want to do stuff and eat sushi probably.

Hey, are you threatening us here? Here we are. We're threatening us. Well, they're threatening us, Mason. Oh, we're going to wrap this up then. We're about to wrap it up. We're going to go get sushi. Are you threatening us or are you going to threaten us?

the only podcast asking the important questions. Why was Don Cheatel British in Oceans 11, brackets 2001? I think there's a reason. It's bizarre. Maybe, I think we had a theory that he isn't. And he's just doing that. Oh, yeah, Romero, it makes sense.

Yeah. I think maybe the plan was that in subsequent ones, he was going to have a different accent. Oh, that's fun. That is fun. But then he didn't do it. Then he didn't end up doing it. That's fun too. That is fun.
