Welcome back everybody to another episode of The Weekly Planet where we talk. Bad. Movies and comics and tip. That was bad. Thanks, man. My name is James, also known as Mr. Sunday. And with me is always my coast doing bad stuff, Nick Mason. Yes and James.

It's all about yes and. Don't go over that was bad. No, no, you say, that's bad. Okay, I like that. That flows well. That's bad. I like it. I might be saying that later.

Oh, yeah. When we're talking about the movie of the week, big movie of the week, I'm going to be like, that's bad. It's a movie of the week on this podcast, but it's certainly not the movie. of the week because that was probably still hoppers, a movie that's not out here yet. Yeah, this is the movie we're going to talk about this week. It's big movie, obviously.

Big name, big movie, but nobody else has watched it. No. It's just us. It's just us. And after this, no one will. Probably not. Mason, there's a lot of things to talk about in the lead up, though, in the run-up, because Rob colleagues who edits this, do you know this about him, don't you? He's always...

I just saw you put on the backup recorder. He would have done that already. Well, he's not here. You're right. He's never. been here. He's never been here, not even once. In many ways, I learned that from him. It's true. By not being... He puts time codes below if you want to jump to anything in particular. We're going to talk about some new casting for The Man of Tomorrow, the Superman sequel movie. Oh, yes. We're going to talk about the Supergirl test

screening and how it went and what happened and people were like, was this good or whatever. We're going to talk about the Ocean's 11 prequel. What's happening with it? Oh, yes. Oceans 1. Oceans minus 1. Ocean Zero. What's that Godzilla movie called? That was a minus one? Yeah, that one. Yeah, that's the joke. That was good. I like that. That's the joke. That's the whole joke. I'm doing it. That's for the listeners. Just do that. Just do that. Just a similar joke in your mind. It's fine. We've got an update on the next Conan the Barbarian movie. Oh yes. Which has probably happening. We've got trailers for Disclosure Day and Malcolm in the middle. He's back. Malcolm's back.

I didn't watch the trailer. Yeah, it's fine. We don't really talk about it that much. We're going to talk about what's happening with the Buffy reboot. Canceled. Canceled. Not only that, we're going to talk about which G.I. Joe version is going ahead. Maybe the good one. Maybe the good one. And also an Alien Romulus sequel update, Mason.

Time goes a blow. Before we do that, when we on something, didn't we do something? Made it look like you're on something. I tell you that much. Don't say that to me right now, Mason. I don't like what you're saying about me. We were on this week's episode of the most upsetting guessing game in the world. episode Mason.

It's the current... It's the current episode of the most upsetting guessing game in the world over at the Grasshouse YouTube channel our friends over there from Auntie Donna

invited us on to do a thing we said we'd never do and it is out now. It's doing pretty well yeah. You know, viewing-wise,

but we would like many... We would like it to be the biggest video on Mr. Beast's channel. We don't want to be shamed by both being on the show. No.

Shameful enough and then it's not getting a bunch of views. So if you could all just get on that. You watched it. I actually did watch it because I wasn't I'm going to watch it because I had such a horrendous time.

Oh, yes. But then I started, like, I'll just watch the start and see how it is. And I'm watching it. I'm like, I don't remember this. Interesting. So I felt like watching it. It wasn't like watching me at all. I don't know.

It was like watching a dream I had. Okay. But I vaguely remember. I think it did very well. I think I said at the time. You did? I think you did very well. Anyway, if you want to see somebody really self-conscious, as somebody I think said,

cling to the edge of the, uh, um, the stage the entire time. trying to make, trying to use logic and reason to puzzle out. Something that has no logical reason. It has rules, but they're only fake rules. And also, sometimes I realize that when you guess right, Zach doesn't even ding the bow to let you know that you're right. Yeah, because he's not really paying attention.

And then you circle back to it. And you're like, didn't I do this already? Yeah. And then I have to repeat myself. You know what? In retrospect, I thought about this the other day. We should kill Zach. We should kill Zach.

The number, there were two concerns I had when going into that. One was that, because the idea of it, if you haven't seen it, folks, is a bunch of people have a bunch of strange quirks. have way too many each and then one person who doesn't know what their deal is has to interact with them and figure out what their quirks are. It's very frustrating. My number one, I had two concerns going in. One was that I would just say what my quirk was. Like I would just blurt it out because, and the other thing was that I would accidentally send you down the wrong rabbit hole. Like I'd say the opposite thing because you say that sometimes. I mean, that happens regardless.

Yeah, because you're so, you're so intent on being like, don't just say the thing you're doing. Don't just admit it. You've got to skirt around certain words and stuff like that. So I would say the wrong thing, the opposite thing, and then you would go completely in the wrong direction kind of thing. Absolutely. But anyway, and again, that did happen. Absolutely. But also, thanks to Lena Moon and Lacey Tully Ophos, who were on that.

That were great. That were great and hilarious and fun. And also both have upcoming comedy shows if you are in Melbourne, which you should check out. They were great. They were awesome and fun to hang out with. I mean, I had a bad time. I was very glad when we got that particular lineup.

I'm like, okay, well, Lena's done a bunch of impoverl. And she's great at that. She's got a regular show called Something Good, which is in Melbourne. And she's also got a screenwriting. She went to screenwriting school. We shouldn't help at all, but it's worth knowing. It is worth knowing. That's good, you know.

And Alexi's just generally, this is an outdated reference, but I consider Alexi to be phone book funny. You could just get him to read the phone book, and he would get people to laugh. So, you know. You certainly would, Mason. We should get that man a phone book. Oh, yeah.

Do you think? And we should get phone books. We can sit on or appear taller when we do a podcast. That'd be good. They'd be good for us. Good for our confidence. We just get taller every week, trying to one up each other.

That's right. It's exactly right. It would be good, actually, wouldn't it? What are you working with? Some telecoms. I got some telecoms here and I got a white pages. Oh, you got a white pages in there. Yeah, that's right.

I've got a big Melbourne or whatever it was called. Melbourne Big, do you remember that? No. It was like the business one. Oh, vaguely, yeah, okay, right. Something like that. Okay, Melbourne Big. Something like that.

Because my dad, as you know, used to print phone books. That was like his job. It's all, I'd forgotten, but it's all coming back to him. Yeah, he did. He got out like just before the internet, like kicked off. What do you say he printed phone books? Yeah, he was in charge. Okay, he wasn't at the internet.

the machine. Distribute. Well, sometimes he was. Sometimes he was. Like distribution and printing and all of that. Yeah. So he was a big deal for phone books, Mason. Wow.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm something of a big deal. For phone books. Yeah. Again, that's linked below. Check it out if you would like. It goes for like an hour, 20. But it felt longer in the moment.

You had a great time. Yeah. I did have a great time. Your dad's at the police conference is like, yeah, you can fit this phone book all the way through a car window. when you're punching a guy. That is mostly what he did. All right, Mason, let's get into it.

Let's get into it. Man of Tomorrow, this is via THR. This is, as mentioned, it's the upcoming Superman sequel. Oh, yes. It's not just a Superman sequel because it's bringing in other... It's a Lex Luthor's Superman story. Correct, yes. Hence I guess why it's Man of Tomorrow and not Superman 2.

Absolutely. Who can that refer to? Jesus. Jesus, that's right. But also, I guess, anybody. Any man who's tomorrow. It could, but to be clear, I have seen an advanced copy of the script, and Superman and Lex Luthor are turning into the light of Christ.

Okay, okay, cool. Well, that's to get they, like, smush together. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, that's interesting and good. That happens right at the start, by the way. Oh. It doesn't go to a head. Like, it starts like that immediately.

Yeah. And then they just go door to door, just promoting that. But if the movie comes out, it's not that. They probably changed it, yeah? Almost certainly, yeah. Yeah. Okay, good. Yeah. We've got one more piece of casting, and that's that Lantern star Aaron Pierre will appear as John Stewart.

We got the lanterns trailer last week, which we talked about. Which doesn't mean that Hal Jordan dies in the series, although he might. It might. It could mean that. But I also suspect it's probably... Guy Gardner's not mentioned. Does he die in the series? Well, I mean...

Who else could die in that series? We don't know. We don't know. Where else is in it? Whatever. Yeah. Sure. Whatever.

Yeah. Now, people have said looking at this lineup, because at the moment we've got Superman, Hawk Girl and John Stewart. what people are saying, well, that's the... Cartoon Justice League. The DC UA, as it is called. They call that. Could be.

I think it's just characters that James Gunn likes, probably. It's more likely, wouldn't you say? Yeah, but I also think, you know, the justice, you know, a lot of people have a lot of fondness for the Justice League animated characters and it's a good lineup, you know? It is. So it's also, what is it? It's Martian Manhunter, Batman.

Is it Wally West Flash? It is, yes. And sometimes Aquaman and others. Oh, that's a great point. Which Flash is going to be? Yep. I reckon give Wally West a chance. Yeah, let's not Barry Allen anymore.

That's not Barry Allen. Do you think he's leg are tired? Okay, T-shirt idea. Let's give Barry Allen a rest. Nothing else. Nothing else? Not in flash colors. It's just a white t-shirt with black writing.

Let's give Barry Allen a rest. Now, you might think, I know you're thinking this. Put a big flash lightning bolt through it. But I say no. No, absolutely. Don't do it. Don't do it, yeah. That's what you're thinking.

thinking, though. Not now, obviously, that I'll veto it. It's not a good idea for your t-shirt. Agreed, agreed, agreed. Now, I've contributed to this t-shirt. So we can both make money. Absolutely, we're going to make a dollar a t-shirt. Oh, my God.

Now, the production date on this start date is April 17th, which is coming up. This year. This year. And it's going to be out July 9th of 2027. Of this year? Yeah, brace yourself. July of 2027 this year. No, Mason, 2027 is next year.

All right, then. If you don't mind me saying so. I don't mind. So that's good. As mentioned, there was a Supergirl test greeting, which is out later this year. I think it's June. People are saying it's pretty good. And there was also one person that was like, it's not that good, actually.

Wow. What's their agenda? Who are they being paid off? Who's anybody been paid off? Kevin Feigy? Maybe one comment was like, it's damn good. It packs a punch, apparently. Run time is like an hour 45.

These could all just be fake quotes from somebody who wasn't there who isn't even real. Totally. Yeah. So, yeah, hour 45 runtime. There's no. So what's interesting is. One criticism I have seen of the trailers to this movie is that some of the visual don't really represent

what you see in the comic book that is based on. Yeah, but they've also said it's not a direct adaptation. But also, there is a book coming out. It's like a photo book and it's like, you know, from page to screen, Supergirl, Woman of Tomorrow 2, Supergirl or whatever. And I haven't seen anything. I've just seen the solicit for it.

Yeah. But it would be weird if there were no matching visuals. Right. But they're like, here's the incredible part, and the where a supergirl grows wings of flame and she flies at the cosmos and whatever. And here's a gray space station. Like that would be a weird book to put out.

Absolutely. Like they're not making that book, I think, if there aren't at least some of the visuals from... Enough to fill a book, I guess. They did change crem. They did change crem, yeah. Which I don't love. To cream.

It just changed his name to cream. But other than that, he's the same. Yeah. It looks a bit... Hello, I'm cream, he says. They'll probably mention... I'm going to pitch this to you a t-shirt. It's a white t-shirt on black text that says,

Hello, I'm cream. How many lightning bolts? Zero lightning bolts. This I like. Yeah, right. Now you're speaking my language. One lightning bolt. No, Mason.

No, come on, man. What's the lightning bulb for? Hello, I'm cream. Oh, that's right. Because lightning turns milk into cream. Correct. That's right. Exactly.

I forgot. You know that because your dad used to be in the cream business. The lightning and cream business. You've got to adjust in time. You've got to adjust in time. Frankenstein device. He opened the big woof or whatever. That's right.

The light he'd become in, yeah. Yeah. God, he was good at his job, wasn't he? I mean, evidently. Until, yeah. He got run out of town, but I don't... That was unrelated. Those were different crimes.

Wow. What was I going to say? Creams, different crimes. Yeah, apparently Crem is not a great villain, people have said. Okay. But again, these are all early things. None of this means anything. That's so true.

I'm just reporting. I was going to say the facts. These aren't. The speculations. The made-up quotes from people who already had quotes in mind before they went into reviews. Because they want to appear on a poster. Correct. I want to appear on a poster.

What was one of the first positive ones? Damn good. That's going on the part. Packs a punch. Nobody says damn good and that packs a punch if they don't want to appear as a pull quote on a poster where Supergirl is throwing a punch. Damn good. Damn good. That packs a punch.

Yeah. I'm cream. I loved cream. One of the poor quotes could say. Oh, the band? Yeah. Nope. Oh, wait, this one does say the band.

I love Cream, the band. There was a band called Cream, isn't there? Eric Clapton was in it, I think. Isn't Eric Clapton a massive piece of shit? We've talked about this before and he sucks and forever, and he's a big racist? I've heard that, yeah. You've heard that because he keeps doing it. It has for like 60 years.

And you keep saying it. I don't keep saying it, he keeps saying it. I'm just reporting what he's saying. These are facts. June 26 is when this comes out. And the date of Eric Clapton's death. Interesting. Wow.

Yeah. Well, we're going to have to change that quote to sad. I loved Cream, the band. Sad, sad emoji. The lightning is a sad face. It makes a sad face. Mason, this is from Matt Baloney. Now, you love Oceans 11.

I do. You love one, at least one of the sequels a little bit. No. You don't like 12 or 13? I know you don't like 8. I mean, even 8 has some... I would say all the sequels, in retrospect, with a lot of years of in between watching them.

They all have fun bits in them. Because it goes boob-to-do-bo-doo. James, you're thinking of episodes of Frasier. Oh, yeah. I think they're all quite flawed. But, you know, there's got... Even the first one. I mean, that's your favorite movie.

You love big collars. It's a good movie. And you love big collars. You love big early 2000s collars, Mason. On the outside of the jacket. Yes, Mason. Yeah, no, I do like that, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

I think it's mostly pretty excellent. It's mostly big collars. I mean, there's some... Big collars. There's big collars, certainly. There's a couple of flaws, like some scenes they don't have collars as big as they could be. Is that true?

Yeah. I need to rewatch this movie. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, but George Clooney's wearing that vest or whatever. That doesn't have a big collar on it, does it? Remember his vault-breaking in vest that he wears? Oh, yeah, sure, yeah. That could have a bigger collar, couldn't it? I'm agreeing.

Anyway, why are you grilling me about the Oceans movie? Well, originally there was going to be an Ocean's 11 prequel, and it's lost a few directors, and I think last week it was reported that Lee, Isaac Chung left. Okay. But now he's some fun news. I've written fun news.

Fun news. Bradley Cooper, or maybe this is from whoever I took this from, Matt Baloney. It is. Bradley Cooper is now the choice to write and direct the Ocean's 11 prequel. Bradley Cooper. The actor, Bradley Cooper.

The actor and director, Bradley Cooper. And writer? Did he write that? Is this thing on? Do you write that? Maybe he did write that. I think he's written some stuff. All right. For Warner Brothers.

Cooper will also start with Margot Robbie. No deals yet. the goal is to shoot this year. If you remember initially, this was going to be Ryan Gosling in the league. I do remember that, yeah. Which is not happening anymore. So, yeah, how do you feel about that? Pretty great.

Yeah. Do you think they, do you think they turf Ryan Gosling because you've had some bad plastic surgery? And they're replacing him with a guy who's never had any plastic surgery? That's probably what happens. And people go on to him and they go, you look great. You look normal actually. You look normal and great, actually, Bradley Cooper.

You look smooth in a good way. Smooth. In a good way. Smooth and in the grooves. Bradley Cooper. And I think you'd look great in a big collar. I agree. It'd be even bigger as well because it's the past.

Oh, yeah, absolutely. They should call this one Oceans 1 through 10. Yeah. And then when people like, then when people go, oh, am I going to understand Ocean's 11? If I haven't seen Oceans 1 through 10, you could be like, it's just one movie, man. Yeah, man, come on.

Just do it. They did it, they knocked it all out in one. Yeah, that's right. And if they want to do an in-between call called Oceans 10.2, they could. They could, couldn't they? The option is there. It's like Hunt for Gollum. It's in the middle of a movie.

That's good. Ocean's one, it's just him. He steals like a can of Coke from a newsstand or whatever. Oh, yeah. Oceans 2, he's got a lookout. He's got a lookout. That's right. Oceans 2, he's got to look out.

He's got to look out for crimes. Yeah. Oh, man, I'm excited for this, am I? You might be. Do they play the parents of George Clooney's character? That was the original pitch, I think. Because it was him and Sandy Bullock, a brother and sister, yeah. Because she visits his grave in Ocean, that's 8.

Which is a prequel to Ocean's 11. And it says on the Gravestone, it says fake grave, he's still alive, if you recall. I've done one of my classic scams, I'm still alive. I got you. I got you. But I guess that'd have to make it, this movie would have to be Oceans 1 to 7. Hang on a minute. Oceans 9 to 10.

Yeah. Because they already did 8. They did 8, it's true. Yeah. So that's fine, isn't it? It's fine and fun. It's fine and fun. I'm looking forward to it.

I'll watch another one of these. It is a shame that Sotoberg is not involved. But I've seen Bradley Cooper movies that are fun. Yeah. Did you see, is this thing comedy? I didn't see it. Is this thing comedy? I like the story, the real guy, it's based on the English comedian or whatever his name is.

So that's good. Tom Holland's dad. Tom Holland's dad. Yeah, so that's good and fun and good and fun. Do you agree? T-shirt idea. That's good and fun. That's good and fun.

Flash logo, red, lightning bolt. Interesting. That is good and fun. What do I got here, Mason? Let me check. I've got it in front of me. It's via arnoldfans.com. Arnoldfans.com.

Yes, he still has a website, if you can believe it. This is his website. Apparently. This is Arnold Schwarzenegger we're talking about it. It might be his fans website. Okay. But who's to say? Maybe it's just a guy named Arnold fans, and it's just a coincidence.

It might be. I'm normally going to, I normally do teapot reviews, but I'm breaking with tradition here. I've got some Arnold Schwarzenegger news. That's exciting, isn't it? Yeah, that's right. Apparently, Kristen from Macquarie will be involved in the next Conan the Barberian. in movie. Oh,

Christopher. This is what Arnold said. I guess he's got, he needs something to do. He's not, they're not doing another mission to possible for a long. No, they're not for the moment,

yeah. Arnold said, uh, in his regular voice. Yes, gone. His voice is a fake voice. He's always,

he's always a fantastic writer-director who did. They just hired a fantastic writer-director who did Tom Cruise's last four movies. They just hired him to write them to write them direction. Moffies. Mufis. Uh, King Conan.

Mm. So it's a great, uh, so it's a great, so it's 40 years on. and he gets forced out of the kingdom and there's conflict, of course. I love that. And somehow he has to come back and there's all kind of madness, violence,

magic and creatures and stuff like that. And now, of course, there's going to be all kinds of special effects. The studio has plenty of money to make those movies really big. So I'm looking forward to all those projects. Maybe. Maybe. Yeah. Do you think?

Do we confirming that Arnold is, in fact, going to be King Conan Dennis? Yeah, that's him saying it. They've talked about it. By Arnold fans. No, he was at a thing and he mentioned it. Yeah, but Arnold fans heard it. Arnold fans heard it, I guess, yeah. So, yeah, I don't know.

I know dropped his teapot. Do you think this will do... You nearly dropped his teapot. Did he? Yeah. But do you think this will do wonders through the teapot? Yeah. I think if it gets in cinemas, it will do well.

Yeah. I think if it appears on streaming, it will disappear completely immediately. Because there's been some, you know, like, there's been a lot of Terminator revivals. Yes. People have become sick of those. But also, yeah, this is a different property. And also, uh, I'm a different property. And also, Arnold is a peripheral part of a lot of those.

You know what I mean? Yeah. It's like it's the, you know, it's a Sarah Connor story or it's a Sarah Connor and some other new characters and he's in it for five minutes or whatever. Are we making this guy, is he going to be the lead in this? I assume so. Yeah, okay. Is he going to get huge? I mean, he's still pretty big, but he could get huger.

I don't think he could. I think he's old, man. I'm saying. Dude, there's so many drugs now. You don't know how to drugs there. I guess. I guess Dillon is still getting really big. He looks good.

His hair looks good. His hair is normally looks good. He does look good. And his hair looks good. And his hair looks good. He's friends with Michael Crawford, as we established. From some others to have him. Yes, we did.

That's true. That's a real thing. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I like the, I like, I mean, if we're getting this and like, I mean, maybe if Highlander does well, people will be like, okay. You know what I don't want in this? I don't want old, like, if we get an old Arnold great, I don't want him to have like a 30-year-old son who's the co-lead and he does all the action.

Oh, Jai Courtney. That's what you're thinking. Yeah, I'm thinking Jai Courtney. I like Jai Courtney. That splits the attention. Like, do it Logan style. He's an old man and he's not as good as fighting as he used to be, but he's got trickery and magic.

And he's got magic and a big, heavy sword. Big heavy sword. He has to turn a big wheel. He could be like, I remember that wheel. I remember the wheel, you could say. He could say that, couldn't he? I'm not pushing that wheel again. but he has to.

Yep. He has to push the wheel in it. All right, all right. All right. All right. All right. Did you ever see the Red Sonia movie? No.

Is he in that? Did you ever see a movie that came out last year? No, I never saw it. No, there was one in the 80s. Oh, no, I've seen some, maybe like five minutes of it. I have seen some others do have them. Yeah. They would have both been on Channel 10.

Definitely. I think I've only ever seen the first Conan movie and not the second one and definitely not the reboot. Interesting. Red Sonia is in the second Conan movie, isn't she? Can't remember. God, this is good. It is good. But anyway, just give me a Logan-style movie. Don't give me a, I don't want to be, I don't want, and also that I don't think that's what, people who love the Conan movies and Arnold Schwarzen in general don't want a movie. And the books and Krull the Conqueror. All the books with Kevin Sorboe. Nobody watches those movies want even the hint that he's going to hand over the role to a younger actor.

Because people are going to be like, who's this guy? It's not my Conan. Conan's Arnold Schwarzenegger. He's going to be doing forever. He's Arnold Schwarzenegger. Right? Just have him be an old guy and he's got to struggle through this. You know what you do?

If you do make big son, you make him the villain. Yes. I think you'd have, because you'd have to get a big muscular warlord. Do you involve Patrick Schwarzenegger? Maybe you do. Do you involve his other son who looks a lot more like him? Yeah, I was going to say you involve him. Is he an actor?

I don't know. I think Patrick Schwarzenegger doesn't have that. He's not the kind of barbarian kind of look to him. He's too clean in California, you know? Yeah. Whereas Arnold's not. He looks like a, it looks like a brick. It's true.

So, yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know and I don't care. I'll watch it if it's good. I would definitely watch this. I'll watch it, but if it's good, if it's good. I'll watch it if it's bad for this show.

Nice. That's good. I guess I'll have to watch it too if it's bad for this show. All right. Trails-A-Hoy Mason. Honk. Do you know about Disclosure Day? I know about it.

And what do you know about it? Is it a sequel to Close Encounters of the Third Kind? That's a great question. Is that what we're leading to here? Is that? Richard Dreyfus is coming back, is he? Yep. All right.

Yeah. All right. They're going to get Ben Dreyfus. Okay. Noted internet firebrand, Ben Dreyfus. So, yeah, so it seems to be that aliens are coming. Yes. And people are like, what's going on?

Why is Emily Blunt like the way that she is? was she clicking and clocking What she clicking and clocking Yeah Do you actually know? No No, she's probably having a meltdown Yeah, she probably is actually

Yeah I can't say I'm like super excited for this Spielberg hasn't made of movies In 2022 The Fablemans Was his last one? People love the Fableman's But no, I'll definitely see it

I would probably see this regardless I like Spielberg's sci-fi stuff It's generally Not generally It is It is all pretty All these sci-fi stuff is pretty strong Agreed

Yeah so that's good And fun and good It seems as if what's his name is in on it? What's his name? Colin Firth. Maybe he's on it. He's alien guy. You know?

He does have those unearthly eyes. He does. He certainly does. And it's got that guy that you love as well. Oh, Josh O'Connor. I watched that movie. The mastermind? Yeah.

Did you like it? It's great. It's fun, right? It's fun. It's not going anywhere for a while. But I thought it was fun. So let me ask you this. Whoa.

You've got to take a thing off. I got to take a thing off. Everybody shut up for a second. I've got to pick up the stove. I'm going to pick it up. So you were saying the mastermind? Yeah, it's good. It's good, right?

You were talking. Well, my thought was, so my takeaway from that movie, and I think maybe I mentioned it when I talked about it on the show, was that it was just a guy who blew up his life. For no reason. He was so dull. Like, his life in sort of 1970s American suburbia was so boring. He's just like, I need to do something.

Yeah. And it will involve stealing paintings for no reason. I can't sell. No, exactly. Like, he clearly didn't think it through. And the heist itself, it's not clever. No, it's not. No.

It's, why are you bringing in? all these different people and God. Because he's a mastermind. He's a mastermind. No, but I did really enjoy it. It's fun, right? I wouldn't say there's like, don't expect a huge payoff either.

No. But it's just fun to have this sort of meander. And just mope it around. Just mope it around. Why did he do it? Movies are good. Sometimes I watch a movie and I go, why did he do it?

Maybe this week I watched a movie and I went, why did he do it? Why did he do it? Why did he do it? Why did he do it? We'll talk about it. Spilbert talked about his next film. It's a Western.

He said it's a kick-ass. He also said, I'm developing a Western. It's going to have horses. There will be guns. But there'll be no tropes. I can tell you that. There's going to be no stereotypes. No tropes.

There's no way you can... What are you going to look at TVTropes. org and avoid every trope? Impossible, Steven Spielberg. I've been looking at TVTropes. Go on. And I've been... No, no.

He says he's going to put all the tropes in. Everyone. He's been going to the TV tropes, but he's doing the opposite of the thing that he said he was going to. He's already. He's already walked to his back. Yeah.

Embarrassing. Has he done a Western? He mustn't have then. Because he hasn't. Yeah. Well, that's cool. Yeah. See what happens there.

And then there was a Malcolm in the middle trailer where Malcolm's back and he's like, my family suck. And they're like, we do so. Yeah. You said you were going to be the president. Yeah. Yeah, you're a loser. You better be the president.

Yeah. That's Dewey. You better be the president. You better be the president. I haven't come back. One of them hasn't come back? Yeah, but they got a guy who looks a lot like him. Okay, great.

And that's good. That's terrific. The original actor was like, I don't act anymore. I don't want to do it. And I have $20 million, so why would I? Well, I was going to say, I'm like, I hope the regular Malcolm in the middle cast don't compare their paychecks with a new guy. Like, they've all been paid $20 million to come back and this guy's getting like 50 grand or whatever. I think that's completely reasonable.

Yeah, I agree. It's, I mean, it's a big time for bringing stuff back. We should do an episode on it because it's like. We should go away. We should go away. And then come back. Because it's a big time to come back. Yeah.

Oh, that settles a time. James, after this, we're going away. Yep. Next week we come back. We come back. It's a big time to come back. It will be the same, or even worse, but people will be fine with it because we've come back. It's a big time for it.

It's a big time for it. By the time this goes out, we would have known what's going on with that Firefly thing. Oh, yeah. Commercial? Maybe an animated series people are saying. It's because it's too, there's too much hype. They've hyped it up too much to be. They can't be like surprise.

Like another comic or a series of. books. But also they've hyped it up so they can't just be like, and it's a TV series because we'd know. Yeah. Like it'd be in all, it'd be in the trades as it were, you know? So I'd say it's probably an animated thing. Yeah.

Or maybe a cast red audio thing. Mm, okay. But I don't think, I don't know, maybe I'll be proven wrong this way. Yeah. I don't necessarily think it's going to be a... You're going to eat crow and eat words and you're going to have egg on your face. Yeah, totally. But Alan Tudic's back.

And a crow in your face. That's true. And you're going to eat your egg. Yes. It's on your face. And not to spoil. Firefly that's so so ready of the movie

which is now 20 plus years old but his character there'd be difficult to bring him back yeah they could there are ways to do it and I can't remember his name

but the active play the priest is dead also yeah anyway but it's interesting though at the same time Hulu have decided not to move forward with a Buffy reboot

which is also a Josh Whedon reboot property thing maybe the budget went to Firefly maybe they reallocated it they put like a year into this this is Firefly

fly high. Yeah. All the characters are back, but they're in the present day and they're in a school. That's good. Sir Michelle Geller announced and she's like, she was like actually... She was Devo. Yeah, she's like, I love this character and I'm who said they've pulled the plug on it. Unfortunately, time because she's just about to be in ready or not too.

Oh yeah, Ready Player 1. So people are going to be asking her that every day. Yep. How do you feel about that? Well, I said bad. Yeah, bad and not good. You don't have to ask me anymore. Well, we're going to.

I wouldn't say it's dead forever necessarily, but this... Would you say like a... vampire is going to rise again? I say it's a possibility, Mason. Would you say currently, though, it's like a vampire that's been raised from the dead, but then Buffy is staked it through the heart and it's turned to dust. And it went, whew... If I had to make a comparison, that would probably be, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, so that exactly. I would say, I would... You're going to say that, but I would say it's like when Wash got stabbed through the chest with that big spike and he died at the end of serenity. Yeah. It's like that. Maybe he didn't. Maybe someone came and got him.

Maybe the men with the blue gloves came and got him. They came and got him, Mason. He came and got him. Well, if they do bring back Firefly Subtitles. What, you were alive? Yeah, they got me. They got me. They got me back.

They came and got me. Yeah. If they do bring it back. And I'm evil for a second, but now I'm good. Now I remember. So it's fine. I remember all my memories. So my resurrection's not a big deal.

No, it was bad and then I came back. I would like to do a revisit of that show and movie. Sure. Okay. If not for work, Mason. Yes. Just for personal. For love.

Yeah, for love. For love of show and movie. Speaking of Love, Mason, and variety reporting that the G.I. Joe reboot. Which we love. Which we love is not going forward with the Max Landis version. Which we love. That's right.

They're going with the Danny Bride. Bride version, which I am really surprised by. Your Devo. This is way better. Even if it's worse, it's better. Well, Landis told a variety that the idea was that COBRA have been so successful in taking over the world, the G.I. Joe reduced to a conspiracy theory, which is not an idea that I hate at all. But he sucks, so whatever, I guess.

Yeah. So, G.I. Joe, Danny McBride, time. I say, yo, Danny McBride. I also say that, but let's see what happens. Unless he does something crook, in which case we never liked it. That's correct. Or any of his shows or his good work that he's done, numerous good works. And also in Alien Romulus sequel news, is by Nexus Point News.

Apparently, the preferred candidate of the new director because Fede Alvarez left is a quiet place is day, and pig director Michael Sauronsky. But what's the weakness? What is the aliens? He didn't do that. He didn't do the What's the Weakness Board. He did the Day 1-1. Okay, but what's the weakness?

Sound. Of the aliens? No, you give them big sound and they go out. Of aliens? Yeah. Of the xenomorphs. Yeah, if you give them big sound, I reckon they wouldn't like that, would they?

If you gave them a big sonic sound. I don't even know if they can hear things. Nah, I don't know. They could probably hear better than they can see. Or they see better than they can hear? Mm. Anyway. Yes.

Apparently Ridley Scott vetoed David appearing in this sequel Fastbender I can't say why but I know that's not true And you might be like why would why do you know that? Why do you have the insider information? I just do and I can't say why You've been talking to Arnold's fans

Has he got the inside track again? I don't want to be that guy I was like oh actually I know and I can't say because I have insider information but I do and I just know that's not true Is it Michael Fastbender? Yes it's Michael Fastbender he told me

Wow So anyway You had a fancy swaree? You're a fancy swire at the gym? I didn't have a fancy swire. I've never had a fancy swiree. I do down-to-earth stuff. Like, I'll go to a barbecue.

I'll kick a soccer ball into a kid's head. I'll do a normal man thing, Mason. Sure. That's what I do. What do you do? I've never heard of you doing any normal things. That's not true. That's not true.

That's all I do is be normal. Anyway, I think David appearing in the circle would be good and cool. Agreed. Agreed. Let's move on to the next segment. Is it big movie? It's big-ish movie. Bigish movie.

Bigish movie. Biggest movie. Smedia movie. Smedia movie. No. Smodcast? I was going to say smodcast. I said it though.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. How to Make a Killing? Hello. Just crypto. That would do it, wouldn't it? Yeah. How to make a killing with murder. Oh, interesting.

Yes. This is the latest movie. Oh, it's the latest movie. That's right. It's the latest one that he, and Margaret Qualley. That's right. I don't think they've had one out since this came out. Budget of $15 million a person.

I thought it was more. Box office, this is not including this weekend's taking, because they haven't been reviewed yet, it's about $9 million. So it's not doing a, it's not doing a big success. But it doesn't have to make that much of a big success. No, it has to make a little bit more than it's already made, which is not that much. Okay.

This is also a loose remake. I didn't know this going in to the 1949 British film Kind Hearts and Coronets. Yes, which itself is based on a book, if you can even believe it, from 1907. Well, which is actually based on a cave painting. Wow. Yeah, so I know more about it than you. based on imagination. I've not seen Kind Hearts in Funman.

It's because it's from Ryanan 4949. It does have Alec Guinness in it. Oh. But apparently that movie is apparently sort of quite well received. I think you've got a 4K release or a Blu-ray recently, so like in the last year. Oh, I hope they AI upscaled it.

I hope so too. So Alec Guinness looks like Ewan McGregor. Yeah. Yeah. So this is a loose remake. I suspect some of the stuff that happens in this movie that doesn't make any sense is due to the fact that they've taken scenes directly from that movie

I don't know that for a fact We don't know that for a fact. Yeah, we don't, we absolutely don't. We could talk about what you think the story was. Okay dokey. So, I mean, look, the very short version of the summary here is that Glenn Powell plays a man who... Beckett Redford or something.

Becket Redford. He is a man he's been estranged from his very wealthy family since before he was born. But he is still, he's last in line, but he is an heir to a multi-billion dollar fortune. If only everybody else in line died before him. Only 15 people die.

Exactly. And then a series of very minor setbacks happen in his life. And he's like, well, better get crack-a-lacking on killing everybody in my family. That's right. Yeah. And he does. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. He does quite a few murders. Yeah. Some more thought out than others Some more deserved than others I feel like For sure So this is also from directed John Patton Ford

Who directed Emily He wrote and directed this And he wrote and directed Emily the criminal Yeah with Aubrey Plaza Did you see that movie? I have seen that movie It's good and I like it It is good I think

That's definitely more That's very, I want to say realistic That's like uncut gems With Aubrey Plaza So if people haven't seen that This is more whimsical Yeah if you haven't seen that maybe get into it, but

Aubrey Plaza plays the titular Emily and the titular criminal. She's a woman, she's in a lot of debt and she has a criminal record from when she was younger, and so she can't get a job and she's, you know, she can't get a job that makes decent money, and so she gets kind of caught up in like a low level credit card,

retail, scam kind of thing. And what's interesting about that movie is, I think, because the stakes, because it's so mundane, that what she gets into, it feels very tense and very real. And so you get the sense that whatever consequences might happen to would also be very real.

You could get your head smashed in for having like 300 bucks on you in that movie. So she gets involved in this kind of little criminal gang kind of thing. And the first thing they get her to do is they give her a fake ID and like a skimmed credit card and they ask her to go into like an electronic store and buy a TV and walk it out and then presumably I guess they sell it for money or whatever

but like she's going into this and she's got no what she's got no backup yeah she just has to walk in there show her face and you know do this do this scam hope the transaction goes through hope she doesn't get stopped and like you you're watching this movie you're like because and everything's kind of pale and fluro and kind of you know washed out and you're like well I mean if she gets caught here she's not going to you know do a daring escape and a car chase. She's going to get walked into a room by a security guard until the cops show up

and then they're going to show the security footage and she's going to have a life reward again. Yeah, exactly. Like you feel like going into, oh, there's this small thing and for this one person there's a lot of consequences to it. But I felt like this movie,

how to make a killing, with murder. Yeah, sure. There doesn't seem to be any consequences for anything. There's almost no rhyme or reason for anything that happens in this movie. Yeah, you're right. It is kind of, there is a light, like, there's definitely like an edge to it in parts. Okay.

But it's, there is a, it's a lightness and a, it's like a farce, like a lot of it. Yeah, and I guess maybe that comes from. Like, and the idea that this guy could do like nine murders. Yeah. And, and nobody really twigs? So, so, yeah, so, yeah, I think that comes from, I think a lot of what is in the DNA of this movie comes from that. that 1940s movie where what would happen in it

is that the actions of the characters in those movies would be influenced by the idea that they don't live in this absolute omnipresent surveillance state with electronic paper trails or whatever like we briefly talked about the oceans movies like the original one the one with the rat pack in it the way they do all their crimes is to just walk in

and steal money and walk out because you can't if you didn't see people do it then they didn't do it Absolutely. Whereas in the modern Oceans movies, they factor it in. They're like, yeah, there's cameras literally everywhere. We have to do it a little different. Yeah.

And that kind of feels like... We've got to loop that footage. But this movie... This is just one guy just walking around. We're sort of barely talking about how to make a killing. But when... So with a lot of the movies we talk about in this podcast, I will watch it and then I will immediately come over here, like within the hour and then we'll talk about it.

We watch this in a rare occasion. We watched this together as a team. On a Wednesday or a Thursday or whatever. So I've had, and it's Sunday now, so we've had several days to think about it. And my opinion of this movie has not benefited from having several days to think about this. Because afterwards, you're like, yeah, we were both like, yeah, we're all right, whatever. And then today you turned up and you were like, no, no, James. No, James.

No, I'm busy. No. And again, I think the idea of this is like, you know, Glenn Powell has infinite charm. Yeah. And I think that filmmakers, producers have been trying to kind of slot him into a bunch of roles and be like, can he carry whatever this? is. And I think in, you know, like top gun, where he's like this charming slime ball kind of thing. Yeah. But he's, you know, he's good at heart, but he's kind of an egomaniac. That totally works.

Definitely. The movie's just like, what if we get this guy to just do some murders? Will everybody be fine with that? I think it does work, like you said it, like initially, like in the moment, you're like, yeah, he's charming enough. I think because of his personality and the way he looks and he's like, he's smarminess. Yeah. in the moment, I think it does do a lot of the heavy lifting. Yeah. Until you stop and go, there was no camera at any of this stuff. Well, yeah.

So, and to sort of elaborate more on the plot of this movie, so it starts out, you know, in the, I guess, the 90s. And there's a, there's a young woman, and she's part of this very wealthy family. She gets pregnant, and the family wants her to get rid of the baby, but she chose, she chose to keep, she chooses to keep it. No, it's a superstar Glenn Power. Exactly. He's going to be smarmy. He's going to need that. And so she gets kind of exiled from the family.

And she goes to live on her own. And she raises the baby as Glenn Powell. Also, her partner dies. So it's just her own. And she's like, you've got to remember. You always got to go for the life you deserve. And then she dies. And then he's just in the city.

He works in a clothing store. And then he meets Margaret Quali is there, who's a girl he grew up with, who's now married to a rich guy. And she's very successful. She's like, who is that guy? I don't know. I didn't recognize him. Yeah.

And then, but then he gets like, he's a Game of Thrones guy. Then he gets fired because he's, the, the owner of the company wants to bring in his nephew to take his job or something like that. Yeah. And he's like, you know what? I will kill everyone in my family to get the, the money I deserve. Oh, he's the animal kingdom guy.

Oh, so he's Australian? No, I think he's. Yeah, no, he is. He's the lead in the animal kingdom. Right. So then he proceeds to sort of go, sort of run his way through the family. Yeah. and kill them all, just by introducing himself and using his real name.

And just the thing about this is, though, as well, like, in addition to, like, he kills the first guy and he's like, I feel pretty good doing that. I think I will continue and kill everybody. That I guess they're all sort of supposed to be billionaire airs. Yeah. So we're supposed to be like, well, they definitely deserve this. And maybe if we spend a little bit more time with them. Yeah, you only really know them when he's like, I'm going to kill this guy. Yeah.

And then he does. Yeah. And like, so, so, you know, maybe if we, if we learned more about them, we'd go, yeah,

they do deserve to die, actually. Like, we're just supposed to assume they are. And like, because they're building. And, like, Tofa Grace is one of them.

And you're like, oh yeah, this one sucks or whatever. Yeah, but like, enough to kill them all. Like, there's one guy who,

also all the women he made immediately fall in love of them. Wow. Yeah. One of the, the one I think we spend the most time with is a guy. I don't have the actor's name here. But he's,

he's sort of an idle rich guy as they all are and he's decided to become a photographer Is this Zach Wood? He becomes a photographer So he's just, you know, Taking photos, then they're in a gallery And he's like, I'm an artist actually kind of thing Yeah

And then And that's his number one crime Yeah And his other crime is he His girlfriend is Jessica Henick Who immediately falls in love with Glenn Powers Henwick I know but I think it's pronounced Henick

Is it? That's what I've heard Whoa This isn't used to me Yeah, I know right She was in the Matrix. She's in a bunch of stuff. Yeah, she's good.

She's good. But anyway, she immediately falls in love with Glenn Powell. So this guy's two crimes are one, he's boring. I'll tell her. She's good in that. Yeah. He's two crimes and one, he's boring. Yeah.

He's in love with a, he's in a relationship with a woman that Glenn Powell should be with. Yeah. So he's just got to die. So then he just blows him up. Also, yeah. I mean, if we get, like, let's not, we'll talk about it more in spoilers. But some of the characters. I mean, a lot of these characters.

are spoilers. Yeah. The things that you're saying. Some of the characters in this movie are introduced and then killed within a minute. Yeah, that's what I mean. Yeah. So it's like, we don't. It's like, oh, this guy's a, you know, this guy's a pilot or whatever.

Yeah. And it's like, okay, what's his deal? So anyway, and then, you know, look, we'll talk about him more in spoilers, but Glenn Powell's character is being pursued by the FBI. Yeah. But not really. They don't seem to have any power to investigate him or press him on anything or follow up on anything.

Or have any evidence that it's him. Yeah. They just kind of like, it could be him. And there's some real, there's some real, they initially met up with him and they're like, do you know where you were on this particular day? And what he's done is, he goes, oh, I don't know, I'll find out. And they check some surveillance footage. And he's just dressed up a guy at his work in a suit.

And the guy's just gone to a hot dog stand or a coffee cart or something like that. And you never see the front of him. So they go, well, this must be Glenn Powell. Because it's a man wearing a blue suit standing by a coffee car with a baseball cap on. I guess his alibi checks out. So that guy never turned around. And there's no other footage of this guy. There's no footage from any other angle, is there?

Okay. Exactly. You have to believe. You have to, no, you have to just go, I guess he didn't get caught. So I think some of, like I was saying earlier, I think some of these set pieces do come from this 1949 movie where you just go, oh, I guess no one saw him do it. So I guess, you know. But you can't translate that directly to now.

Because if somebody thinks about it for more than five seconds or three days. Yeah. They'll be like, this is stupid. I mean, they could have just, he could have just said, he could have. I mean, they couldn't have proven that. No. They could have. They check where his phone was and he didn't bring it.

Yeah. You know, but anyway, whatever, I guess. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Should we do some spoilers? Anyway, honestly, I didn't, I didn't hate it. Okay. I thought it was all right. So I guess I'm going to say a best movie ever.

It's fine, you know? Well, in a rare split, I think I'm going to say, well, it's a rare split. It must be the best, it must be the worst movie ever. But I'm not, again, like, I don't disagree with you. Yeah. I just was there and I was like, this is all right. Yeah, this is all right. Yeah. I mean, it was entertaining in the moment. Glenn Powell, hell of a run. This, the running man. It's true. Two movies have bombed. Only one with a run.

True. I really, I did like the running man, though. I like the running man more than this. Oh, definitely, without question. The running man again, the last act is like, all right? But in the lead up to that, the running man's pretty good. Yeah. All right. So this is time for spoilers. So he's got to kill seven people by my estimation, right? And none of their kids.

Yeah. Because one of them has adopted like 11 children. Oh, yes. But I guess none of them are. I guess the idea would be, well, if they're adopted, they don't get the same. Well, I guess that's probably true. Did any of the other ones have kids? I guess not.

I don't know. Well, he killed some of the kids who were like his cousins, but none of his cousins have kids. So he kills, what happens is he keeps killing people, and then he shows up at the funeral, and then he introduces himself to the remainder of the relatives. And nobody's suspicious at any point. Yeah. And one guy even gives him a job. At one point, they go like, well, two murders is a couple.

coincidence but three that's a patent and it's like no two's enough and you're the only new element to this yeah exactly there's no yeah like so he kills yeah he kills a guy in a boat some party guy yep and then he goes to the funeral of that guy and his uncle's there and he's just like well i'm your nephew yeah i'm your nephew and i'm your nephew and i'm sorry if you're lost and the guy's like well uh just take his job yeah he worked at this firm for me so you can just be him doesn't really factor in at all. No. Really?

Because also the movie's called How to Make a Killing, which with murder, which is, I feel like that's like a business thing, right? Oh, we made a killing, right? Yeah. But it doesn't factor in.

There's no, like you would think that the... He does well. I guess, I guess he does well. Haven't you done well? It should be called, haven't you done well? Haven't you done well, aren't we?

Haven't you done well? With murder. But he just, like, it feels like there should be more to this thing where he gets the job and he gets part of this inner circle where he would use that information to plan out his next murders

but he just doesn't He's doing a job and that's independent from the murders he's doing Yeah So he kills the party guy I guess the killing he's making is he's getting the money Or he will get the money

Yeah but he seemed to be doing Alright he was fine without it I mean they talk about that as well Of like you can stop doing this now Because you have a good job And a beautiful girlfriend And a beautiful girlfriend who loves you for no reason That's exactly right

Yeah Also, yeah, like, so, and then he kills the party guy, then he kills the artist guy. Yeah. And then his uncle, who's good to him all the time. So he has to die, so he just dies of heart attack. That's lucky. Then there is the lady who's adopted all the kids. Barely in it.

Barely in it for a minute. Then there is a stunt pilot guy who's like a red bull, like plane guy who dies because what happens is he's got it. He's an idle rich guy and he does this. And he's got like a team of logistics people that follow him around in Polaro. shirts and then he's going out to his little plane to do a thing in the morning and one of his interns is about to hand him his morning coffee and then Glenn Powell just walks in through the pack and hands him a coffee which has clearly been poisoned yeah and then he crashes the plane and everybody's like okay so no the FBI agents didn't just go to those people and go well your boss died do you

have any footage oh there's Glenn Powell he's right there exactly he's right there also how Glenn Powell get there did he drive did he walk did he take an Uber it doesn't matter is there No, there's no. They don't explain it at all. No. And I guess that's, the big reason why they're doing that is because Margaret Qualley's character has had someone following him the whole time and has actual evidence of him being at the scene of all these murders. But the FBI can't do that.

Yeah, exactly. But they don't. Yeah. So it's just her blackmailing him to give him money or whatever. I want to give you money and I'm blackmailing you. Give me. Then there's Tofa Grace, who's sort of the other biggest name I feel in this movie. And he's a sort of...

Half a day's work? Yeah, he's a sort of evangelical... Like, he looks like a righteous gemstone's guy. He's got the tan and the weird fashion hair cut and the boot cut jeans and the Devineck t-shirt or whatever. And then Glenn Powell just poisons his coffee. With it like a poison injector pen. Where did you get that? Poisoned injector pen shop.

How does he know how to make explosive film developer? He looked it up. Well, wouldn't that be on the... Wouldn't that be in his Google searches? Nobody's not. I can't get his Google searches? He used a VPN, myself. Yeah, okay. There's a... Outside of Australia, you may not know this,

but in Australia, there was recently a case of a woman who murdered her husband with a poisoned Beef Wellington. And all her internet search histories is like, What kind of mushrooms? What mushrooms can kill my husband? And then it looks like... How many do I put it in on Beef Wellington to kill my husband and then get away

with killing my husband? Or whatever. And the trial's just them going, here's your Google search history. And she's like, ah, it wasn't me. You're not going to get this. guy on that? How do you do it? Where do I buy a pen that shoots poison? On a poison, on a poison, and how much poison should I use, do you reckon? Two squirts? That's good. That's how many of the penholes. Oh, he does a protein shake. That's good.

I'll squirt it in that. I'll give it a big squirt. How do I make a protein shake look like a heart attack? Good question. Great. And then Ed Harris. Yes. Oh yeah. Well, also all these murders are like, it's like hit man. Like he's, and that I mean like there's very obvious setups for like how you would kill. And there's good ways to do that, like the movie Trap. Sure. Because they lean into it being insane and everybody's alien in that movie. Whereas this, it's like, well, Zach Woods's character, he uses very specific chemicals in a room separate than the other rooms in his house on the roof. Yeah. To develop film, but also that's where he has his secret cigarettes. That's right. So it's just like, I think that a man who works with those chemicals

would never do because you would, you would know that that would kill you. Yep. Great. And it did. And it did eventually. He made a big dynamite. Cigarettes will kill you, Ben Lee. Ben Lee. Thank you, Ben Lay. And welcome back to the show.

That's right. Oh, he's left again. He doesn't want to participate. Well, he shouldn't. Why does he come? I don't know. He's not a fan either. That's right.

He hates us. Yeah. Yeah. As well, he should. Remember that time he slid us a note? That really rude note. That's right. Yeah.

He said, I'm Ben Lee. So Ed Harris, though, you said. Yeah, he's the head of the family. Yeah. He's been around for a trillion years apparently. He's the end of the family. He's the end of the family. Thank you.

NTV. Matthew McConaughey. Truman Show. Yes. He's in the Truman Show. He's in the Truman Show. That's what I'm saying. Which is like the Ed TV.

It was like the TV of its time in a way. So it all wraps together, doesn't it? Yeah. There's no evidence of that, but it doesn't matter. I don't need evidence. And anyway, he's like, what do you come to my house? You're so successful now. And I've heard you're good in business.

Yeah. So come to my house. And also you're the only one in my family who's alive. That's right. Come to my house. Anyway, show up. And then he's like, I'm going to shoot you with a gun. Yeah.

And then it's also the same time as his engagement party to Jessica Hanick. Which you just wouldn't do. You wouldn't do it. You wouldn't do it. But he did it. He made a bad decision. I'd say, how about tomorrow, Ed Harris? Yeah.

How about that? Also, like. Also, I just wait for you to die. I'm going to wait a year for you to die. Yeah, exactly. It's fine. Don't worry about it. How about it?

I don't show up at your house and then I just hear that you died. Yeah. And then I'll collect all the money. He was on a good wicket. Like, he didn't need to kill him right there. or to go to find out what Ed Harris wanted. And also, like, even the fact that he shot him with an arrow, like, the FBI went like, did you go there to kill him?

And then you did? And he fought back for a little bit, but you still killed him. Yeah. Yeah. They're just like, he's like, am I allowed to go? And they're like, uh, all right. Yeah. But then he and his, he and his now...

He killed the billionaire. There's no way he would have just walked out of that. No, that's true. He would have been detained by the billionaire's private security firm or whatever. Anyway, but he gets away with it. And then he, with murder. And then he gets inducted into some weird, well-to-do society thing with his fiancé now. But then he gets arrested there because Margaret Qualley's fiancé has wound up dead.

And this was the twist. The twist. The twist. He's dead. And actually, Glenn Powell's fingerprints were on the letter open that was used to kill him. Yeah. The letter opener that he just had. He grabbed it. He just grabbed it on a big pile of paperwork.

When he went in there, he just. Michael Colley's like, you bring my, bring my fiancé a check for, or I'll reveal all your secrets. And he's like, okay. And then he goes over and he hands delivers a check. And then all of a sudden, all the evidence is there. Yeah. So he didn't do this one murder. And then he's up for it.

Yeah, there's video footage of that. You can't just transfer the money? You can't, you can't, you can't Venmo him the money. Like a big check and then have the guy kill himself immediately. after. Yeah, yeah. So then he actually goes to prison for that and he's going to get the death penalty. And that's the framing device for the story. But then Margaret Qualley says, but he actually

killed himself and he left a suicide note. Why would he even tell the priest any of that? Yeah, he's telling the priest's story. It could just be a guy. That's what I mean. It could be a guy, one of those sashes. Could be an FB guy. Could be an FB guy from the FB guy team. The FB good guys.

Yeah. Come in and see the good, good guys. They'll listen to your murder story and then you'll go to jail. Yeah. Yeah. Even the death penalty for that also? I think it's a crossing. No,

it's explained. There's some sort of state line crossing thing. But I mean, if you're looking for logic in the last five minutes of this movie. I was, yes. Great. But then Mark McQualli's like, no, actually,

you killed himself. Yeah. And he left a suicide note. And I'll give that to the police if you, if you give me all your billions. Yeah. And he's like, okay.

And then he does and she does. And then he's set free and then he goes outside. And Jessica Henwick's there. And she's like, Hello. You're bad, actually. I don't like you. You're bad, you suck.

Yeah. I mean, I would have, look, I ignored the murders, but I'm not going to ignore the murder you didn't do. So I'm leaving you, actually. I think it was because of the choices he made around her. Did not show up. Yeah, classic rom-com. Yeah.

I don't think she even really knew about the murders. Yeah. Because you never kind of put it together. I think it was because in the trial, Michael Qualley's character was like, well, Glenn Powell has always been in love with me. Yeah. And that was the point where she walked out.

So I think that was what did it. I don't think she was ever like, well, he did seven murders. Correct, yes. Anyway, but Margaret Quali's there. She's like, get in the car, bitch. And he has to marry her and live there or whatever. I've got all the billions now. And then the gates close at the end.

And it sounds like a jail cell closing. Yes. And it is in a way because he's in a prison of extreme wealth. Extreme wealth and privilege. Margaret Quali. Who likes him very much for some reason, as everybody does. Yeah. That's all right.

It's all right, man. It was great. Stupid movie. Do you think it could have done with... A rewrite, yes. Yeah, that's what that's... Dozens of rewrite, potentially. Just close some loops, man.

Close some loops. Yeah. Make the first... It's also, again, really convenient. The one member of the family he did like just dies on his own. That is convenient. Very convenient. Yeah.

So these things go. Just, yeah, just... I don't know. Have some feelings about killing all these people besides, yeah, this seems fine. Yeah, they're... Give him a real reason to kill them all. Like there's no... Maybe they were vindictive against his sister or whatever.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But they weren't really. Like, we don't, you know. Does it feel cut down? Like, it was pretty short, right? It was relatively short, yeah. Was it like an hour 45? Something like that, yeah.

Maybe there is like a 20 minutes in here that we haven't seen. Yeah, it is. It's an hour 45. Maybe we should watch kind hearts and coronets instead. Didn't you say that stars? Alec Guinness plays eight characters. Oh, he plays all the guys. guys, I think?

That's good fun. That's crazy. I'm Alec Guinness. I'm Alec Guinness. Alec Guinness plays the Descoigne family, all of them, including a girl. Yes, including Lady Agatha. Oh, how does you do it? Probably a wig and a dress and going, ooh-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-oh.

Okay, would it be funnier if Glenn Powell played all the characters he had to kill? Yes. Because he loves doing that. He did it in the Hitman or whatever. That's what I'm saying. Hitman was good. I like that movie a lot. That's what I'm saying.

That was a good. movie. That plays to his strengths. Yeah. Putting on a different mustache. And putting on the ritz. And running around all day and all night. Yeah, he played Gary Johnson in Hitman. Nice. That was a link later one, wasn't it? It was. That was a good movie.

Agreed. I've watched it a couple of times. I like that a lot. All right. All right. It's, um, it's a, it's a, next week we'll be doing, uh, Project Halmerry. And I might, I probably won't be able to, but I do want to see Ready on too, which is also out. But before we get into any of that, we have to do other segments of this show and then wait a week and then release the next

episode. Agreed. What is the next segment of the show called? That's what we're reading. What are we going to read? Oh. I'm doing nothing. Whoa.

Whoa. This is a segment where we talk about things we're watching or listening or doing or whatever. That's right. I got a couple of things, Mason. I could definitely talk about. Oh, yes. I could talk about little show. Oh yeah, you watched some little Sherlock?

I did. I'm not all the way through it, but there's a show called Young Sherlock. It's on an Amazon Prime. It's a guy Ritchie adjacent Sherlock. Sure, sure, sure. Sort of a prequel to the movies, but not really, but sort of, I guess. But not really, because he's best friends with Moriarty. Right.

And they don't acknowledge that. They meet at college? They do meet at college. There's no John Watson or not the episode. Yeah, well, he wouldn't go to college, would he? No. He'd go to scumbag community college, wouldn't he? Scumbag, punch your own teeth out community scumbags.

Yes. Didn't he go in the army or something? He went in the army. Yeah. So it's kind of, he's like a goodwill hunting guy. Because when he first gets there, he thinks he's going to. Sounds unlikable. He's going to British University.

Sure. But his brother, Miccroft gets him a job like changing bedpans and sheets and whatever. Microft. Who's Mikecroft in this? Who's playing Mikero? I can't remember. Stephen Fry. No, I can't remember.

Okay, great. But then he's goodwill hunting it. He's been pressing everybody with whatever. Oh, so he isn't going on the, on the, on the, he isn't actually at college. because of his incredible genius. He's doing a bedpan style. He's just got out of prison and whatever. What?

But then there's a murder. You kept out of revelations. Yeah, yeah. It's all in the show too. And so, but the thing is it's an overarching story. So it's an ongoing mystery. It's not this episode's a mystery and this episode's mystery. It's just like, there's a Chinese princess thing that goes on and a bunch of professors

are getting murdered. Okay. He's framed and whatnot. It's linked to his family maybe and whatever. Wow. And he's best friends with James Moriati. James Moriati's great also The guy who plays him

He's really good And the guy plays Sherlock I should look up Who plays who in this Names and so forth Yeah names and so forth So his name's Hero Fines Tiffin He's playing

Is a goddamn Ray Fines kid Is this a Ray Fines boy I bet it is Parents No he's not actually Martha Fines His mom I don't know

I don't know I don't know. All right. I know. She's the sister of Ralph Fines. I don't know who that is. I don't know who that is. That's a real scumbag college name to me.

That's not British University. Rafe Fines. Oh, yeah. So he's the nephew of Rafe Fines. It's Doranil Finn, plays James Moriarty. Oh, yes. Joseph Fines is in it.

Colin Firth is in it? Joseph Fines. Joseph Fines. Wow. Who's he related to? Max Ions plays Mycroft. Is he related to? to Jeremy Iins.

Yes. Is he? Probably looking at him. Yeah, he's British and he's here, isn't he? Yeah. Max Irons is... Parents are Jeremy Irons. Wow, this is a real...

This is a Nepo Baby Bonanza this movie. This is a British nepo baby bonanza, Mason. Wow. Nepo geese's. Anyway, yeah, it's, you know... Okay, all right. It's a bit of a rom. Okay. He hasn't got quite all these stuff like down pat yet.

Okay, all right. Yeah. This review has been a real roller coaster because I'm like, oh, sounds pretty intriguing. Oh, NEPO babies. Ongoing adventure. Oh, I don't know. Sherlock, you know, he's from an aristocratic family of sorts, isn't he?

So why's he cleaned in bedpans? Because, Mason, he's done some stuff. It opens with him in prison. What do you do in prison? I can't remember. He probably stole the watch. I wasn't in prison. He was trying out pickpocketing, but then returning the stuff.

Oh, right. So, uh... Well, that's, we've all done that. Sure. Not the returning. No. So, uh, yeah, I would, you know, if you're like, I don't know if I love that it's ongoing, that it's an ongoing.

You'd prefer like a case of the week. Yeah, maybe a one and done every now and there. But then again, maybe it becomes that. Yeah. So maybe it does. What have you been doing? I can't think of anything I've watched besides Ready Player 1 this week. Oh, we did watch that for work.

Which we covered. God, awful. Nah, it's good. Awful. You know what I did watch also? I watched heated rivalry, which all of people recommended here. I really enjoyed it. It was a nice watch watching two boys fall in love.

Gay hockey. Gay hockey. Gockey. Gockey. Yeah. But also... He's my favorite character from Dragon Ball Zee.

Is he? Yeah. But also there is like, you know, there's a real kind of air of sadness to the situation because, you know... They live in Canada. They live in Canada and that's hard, obviously. Yeah.

But it's also, it's early... It's like 2010's Canada. Oh, is it? Okay. Yeah. And it goes up, I think the first season goes up to like 2014 or something like that. Okay. So it's interesting like that that's now like a nostalgic period of time.

Yeah, right. The good old days. Yeah, yeah. And the references are from, from them. which the creator, I think, wrote the book around then. I said around then, I can't remember. Sounds like that. Wrote the book on this.

Yeah, but it's like, it's quite like, it's nice. It's life-affirming and it's kind of sad and it's good performances and there's a bunch of gay sex if you like that. I'm listening. Yeah, so, so yeah, and it's, it's done. It's just, it's like a show that you wouldn't necessarily say get like mainstream attention as well, which is really nice. What is this on originally? It's like some Canada streaming platform. Oh, here we go.

Maple syrup moose.org? It's on. It's on. I think it's on HBO Max. It's on Poutteen Plus. Yes, it's on HBO Max. It's, what was it on? Crave.

Crave. The Crave Network. The good chemistry between the two leads. Okay, all right. Well, I have this coming week off. I liked it. I would like recommendations from the listeners. Well, I recommend heated rivalry and young Sherlock.

Now, a show that I've never seen, do you think I should see it? And can I watch the entire thing in the? its entirety in a week is the leftovers. Can I watch the leftovers in a week? Oh, the one with Justin's Thoreau. In a week. Maybe it's pretty intense.

I was going to say it. I mean, it's great. You know what? You should watch Scavengers Rain if you want a short, like it's short it's animated, it's sci-fi. You could definitely knock that out in a week. Okay. So, but you know, you could also watch the leftovers.

That's a good show also. I hear it's great TV. And the third season is set in Melbourne for some. some reason. That's what I'm saying. I'm going to get to season three. And Scott Glenn's there. That means, it's definitely worth a watch. He's stick. Oh, okay. Do you do an Australian accent? No. Huh. Do you want him to? Yes. Yeah. I can get him on cameo, I guess. Sure. But no, Scott, Glenn's 87. God, he's killing it. This guy's the best. God, he was urban cowboy. Yeah. God, he was Silverado. God, he was Silvers of the Lambs. God, he was the hunt for Red October. God, he was training day. God, he was

backdraft. God, he was Greenland. He was vertical limit. That's incredible. It was vertical limiting it. Wow. Yeah. You can't say that about a lot of people these days. That were vertical limit.

I wouldn't. Yeah, so there you go. Those are all things that we've watched. That's so true. So what are you going to watch? Is he going to watch leftovers? It's pretty intense. I don't have a lot of time.

Oh, it's good. It's good intense. It changes. Like season to season, it changes. Yeah, right. And some of it's, I think the move to Melbourne is budget related. But they make it work. Yeah.

You know, so. recommend Mason Let me check how many episodes of the leftovers there are What's the most famous place they go to in the leftovers? In Melbourne. Do they go to Betty's Burgers? They go to Federation Square, I believe. Federation Square, wow.

What a great advertisement from Melbourne. Oh, Michael Qualey's in it, I forgot that. Yeah, Liv Tyler's in it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They all went to Australia. Yeah, yeah, I don't know if they all went to Australia. Do the main cast from the two previous seasons go to Australia or is it just focus on just go to Australia?

There are 28 episodes. of this show. I could do that. I could do that. I could do that. I could do that. I could do that noise. It's got Christopher Eccleston. Oh.

You're a fan. You're an Eckhead? I'm an echo. Look at the reviews, though. Season 1, 82% ront tomatoes. Season 2, 94% rot tomatoes. Season 3, 99%. That's Melbourne for you.

That's Melbourne. They probably went to the Vic Market. Yeah. Got some donuts. And it also wraps up and whatever. Oh, yeah. Well, I was going to say, because obviously, the story is it's a bunch of people get raptured, right?

And it's the people who remain. So do we get a satisfying conclusion to the story? I mean, it's Damon Lindelof. Oh, yeah. So make it that what you will. Oh, yeah. But no, I did find it. I liked it a lot.

Just don't expect, like, somebody to come out and explain to you what happened at the end. God? Yeah, and God goes, yeah, and whatever, this might happen. Whatever, and this is what happened. It was the super flu. It was the superflu. It was the superflu. Yeah.

It wasn't an accident. I did it on purpose. I'm God. I'm God. Anyway, should we move it along? Let's move it along. I can't leave you do much a single thing. I don't think I did.

You must have. I mean, it must have. You must have. I must have read a comic book. No, I don't think I did. Embarrassing. No, I don't think I did. Let's move it along.

Okay. What is it? It's letters. Letters. Letters. Letters. Letters. Letters.

The classic one was, letters. Oh, letters. We love you. Some letters. Letters. Letters. Letters.

Letters. If you do want to reach the letters, you can send the letters to the show by sending Mason a Gmail to weekly PlanetPod at weekly planet pod. Yes. At gmail.com or in the Planet Broadcasting Great Mates Group, there's a thread there every week

and you can send letters there. Mason. Yes. If you could be so boldest to give us a letter. You're welcome. A few people sent this in, but the most recent was David, who said Mary Shelley is in my head and won't leave.

Hello podcast, boys. I'm writing in after listening to the episode on The Bride, exclamation point. The bride! There were a lot of questions about the Mary Shelley narration thought I'd put my two cents in. My interpretation, and this is shared by some people, is that the Mary Shelley scenes were referenced

to the original Bride of Frankenstein film, that's the one from the 1930s, which started with a prologue of Mary Shelley relating the story to Lord Byron and her husband Percy. This also explains why Jesse Buckley takes on the dual role because in that film, Elsa Lancaster, played both the bride and Mary Shelley. As to why Mary Shelley seems to possess the movie

at certain points, that is something that only Maggie Gyllenhaal can answer. Well, is she written in? Because that would be really... She did not write in. That would be a wonderful... Check the junk mail. It's in the junk mail.

Maggie says, I'll never tell you. I'll never tell you. I'll take my secrets to my grave. Just tell us. Yeah, if she would. Okay, well, that's good, I guess. Yeah.

That makes sense. I agree. I mean, did we say it hurt the movie? I can't remember. Let's say we did. I don't think it hurt the movie if you just pretend it's not happen. I mean, but you can say that about a lot of stuff in a lot of movies.

Yeah, you can pretend anything is not happening. I mean, a lot of, you know, a lot of stuff in how to make a killing with murder would, would not hurt the movie if you just pretend it wasn't happening. It wasn't. This is from Ricky Flores, who says, what do you and Mason enjoy about comics as a whole? At this point, new ideas. Sure. Much like a new idea magazine.

That's the best part about comics. Isn't it a new idea magazine? Exactly. Yeah. I love, I love, like, not indie stuff, but like image comics, Dark Horse, that's... Not indie stuff. I don't know. You said?

I love not indie stuff. Correct, yes. I mean, I don't know, I mean, I don't think Image or Dark Horse count as indie. Not at this point, I guess. Back in the 90s, I guess they did, but... Yeah, sort of. For me, it's a way of telling stories that you can't in any other medium. Agreed, yes.

There's a very specific... It's a very specific style. Correct, yes. I like that you can like dictate the pace of a comic by the page layout and the amount of detail or how many words or whatever. I find that really interesting. Or no words at all. Or no words at all. Yeah.

No words at all. People can play around with that. I find that like endlessly fascinating that you can. Because you can't really pace out a novel. You know what I mean? It's like it doesn't work like that. Just things like that I really enjoy. I like that it's so varied like the art style.

Agreed 100%. across, you know, different artists. Love them. Yeah. I like physical comics. Me too. I love holding it. Just have, like, they look fantastic.

They're so, like, each one, even bad stuff is like, somebody put this together. Shuck it across the room or somebody. Shut it across the room, throw it to your dog. Get that in here, you could say. Yeah. Eat that copy of Tintin. Oh. Yeah.

Did you ever read the last Tintin story? I've never read any Tintin. I've tried multiple times as a kid and I just could never crack. That's crazy. Yeah. I tried because I'm like, I'm powering through all the asteris, you know. As a kid? Yeah.

Right. And then I could never. He's a boy with a gun. I know. I just could never. I'm like, fuck this guy. He's a boy with a gun and a bearded friend who's an adult. Fuck that guy, man.

Professor Calculus is there. Big fuck to that guy, I say. Wow. Do you say that to Thompson and Thompson? If they were here. Wow. I never saw that movie either, the Tintin movie. Interesting.

I was thinking about this and we probably should have talked about it because we did record Ready Player 1 for Caravada Garbage. I think a lot of the stuff in that, because Spielberg was supposed to do a Tintin. No, Spielberg did a Tintin movie, and then Peter Jackson was supposed to do one after. And I think a lot of the, the reason why he made Ready Player 1

and was able to is because Tintin is a motion capture movie. Right. So anyway, is that worth bringing up? Probably not, actually. Nah, probably not. Did you see the Tintin movie? I did. It's good, right?

I like it. Yeah, it's fun, yeah. Yeah. What about Snowy? What would you say to Snowy if you didn't? If Snowy were right here. If Snowy were real. Yeah.

And right here. What would I say? Yeah. I probably wouldn't say anything. Interesting. I probably ignore it completely. Okay. And it'd be like, at what point did you like?

Come me some road. I'm just fascinated. He's a boy with a gun. I don't disagree with you. I just, I couldn't. I don't know what it is. Is the art style? No.

The weird text isn't a weird font? Maybe he's two Belgians. He's very Belgianish. Yeah. Was this plus four? like his little short pants. I don't think it hurt. Maybe it was.

I don't know. I mean, do I try it now? No. Sure. No. Like, I think maybe I just, I loved Asterix. Yeah, I just that I couldn't. And those were the two, right?

It's a DC versus Marvel thing. Those are the two. Yeah, exactly. Those are the big two. Big two. That's right. Those are, yeah, so for anybody who would be curious, thought the Asterix was like the comic

that got me really into comics. Yeah, right. Yeah. Yeah. So. Well, well, maybe Tintin already got you out of comics, so it's lucky you were going. He tried to, didn't he? He did, yeah.

With his stupid pants or whatever you said. Yes. Whatever you said. That's right. Anyway, that's what we like about comics, not Tintin. Do Asterix have any other little friends? Asterix? Yeah.

Getter fix? I'm sorry, I meant Tintin. Like the sea captain? Captain Haddock, sure. Yeah. I tried to wait one way we went to the moon. Tintin goes to the moon with his friends. Yeah.

Just went a bobble helmet. They just released the Lego version of that rocket. Did they? I should buy it. For you. Thanks, man. I don't want it. I don't want it.

I prefer the movies where he's, I prefer the comics where he's shooting people, honestly. There's nobody to shoot on the moon. You also made a complaint once that Tintin got out of stuff because, like, by accident. Yeah, he just survives by chance all the time. If you read him as an adult, he just, like the one where he goes to America. Just the gas one? Yeah, he fights the mob. He just decides he's going to take on the Chicago mob, this teenage boy.

And they nerve gas him. Yeah. And they like throw him into a river. He's called what they presume is the corpse of Tintin. But it wasn't. But it wasn't. It was actually a cake. That's right.

Shaped like Tintin. Which somebody had made by coincidence. No, they actually hit him with the sleep gas, not the poison, the nerve gas. And so they woke him up. And they go to get back, they go to find him or whatever. And he's like, hands up. I'm Tintin. Tintin.

Hands up. I'm Tintin. God damn. All right. So don't watch it is what you're saying. That's right. He's an email from Daniel. Daniel

Watched Barry It was really good I forgot how much people Were Hyping it when it's coming out What's the show that was really hyped You forgot about it And then they ended up watching it well after it finished So for me it's going to be the leftovers

It is I asked season one Barry So I should go back to Barry Yeah God I mean I definitely didn't watch the leftovers When it came out

So that's a good example of the Sopranos I watched like a couple years ago I'd never seen it Interesting I didn't like bits and pieces So that was really good to go through Because I was like I'll watch that prequel movie

And then I never did So that I mean So you watched the Sopranos in advance of the pre-brily Yeah And they never did the group Okay right Yeah

But yeah That was like 20 years after the Soprados started Yeah God I mean we both never finished Stranger Things Probably for the best And we got close

Yeah We got it a red hot go Didn't we We had a red hot go I assume they got a Vecna In the end He's a mind device on him They amplified it

Using 11's technology You've amplified the mind device On me I got stuck at another the realm or whatever. I'm in the realm of a while, but I'll be back. I'll be back. I'll be back in the 90s.

Exactly. Yeah. Was that I'm turning Japanese? Yes. By the vapors? No, no, no, no. You would sing that, wouldn't he? Yeah, he would.

Because he's racist. Yeah, he's racist. Wow. So, I guess that's not a good example, though, a show that you came too much later. No, that's true. So you just... I know you returned to later.

I returned to it. You forgot about it and they ended up watching it well after it finished. Yeah, but that's not. That's also not strange. We didn't do that. Correct. Correct. You just wanted to do a spot-in impression of turning Japanese.

No, I didn't. Okay. What else? I don't know. I finished Picard the other week. Oh, you did. It's pretty satisfying. Yeah.

That's all. I love movies and TV shows and comic movies. I know. I watched the while. I should watch it. I didn't even mention that. You just your guilty conscience brought it up. Oh, no.

It keeps popping up in my brain. What's it on? Probably HBO Max. All right then. That Dominic West, he's not even American. I agree. You agree. And his accent, it goes back and forth.

Let me tell you. How to do it. Yeah. He says. Mason, speaking of Australians, which he isn't. Yossi Orrin says, if you could live anywhere in the world except Australia, considering World War III is right around the corner.

Where would you choose? New Zealand. Same. Yeah. Without a doubt, I would move to New Zealand. I've never even been. I've been a couple of times.

It's great. Yeah. And it's like here and all the, everyone sounds similar enough. The currency is very similar. Oh, like you're basing it on like coin sizes. Yeah, definitely coins sizes. Oh, yeah, you can definitely, I mean, up until recently,

you can definitely use a New Zealand 20 cent coin in a vending machine in Australia. Not now, though, they'll get, yeah. I mean, the tech's way better, isn't it? Palantir own all the vending machines now, so you put it in there. And all their CIOs and build bunkers in New Zealand also. New Zealand coin detected, drone activated, bram, and then it tips on, the machine tips on you. The drone's just there to take it.

picture of the machine tipping on you. It's also beautiful. You all saw it. He had a fake 20 centpiece. It's worth less. It's, um, what was he going to say? It's, uh, it's beautiful as well. It's great.

Yeah. So New Zealand or Tasmania, I guess. No, that's Kansas Australia. No, it doesn't. It does. No, it doesn't. No, it has to get on a boat. It doesn't count.

All right then. Doesn't count, Mason. All right. Any other place you would live? Hong Kong. Yeah, I like Switzerland. I like Japan. Plus in Hong Kong, Batman can't get me, you know what I mean?

Mason. Mason, Mason, Mason. It's out of his jurisdiction, he can't get me. Mason, let me finish. It's a great idea. Thank you. Thank you. Switzerland, I like Japan.

Yeah. I like London, but that would be devastated by World War III. So I probably wouldn't know. Also, you know, benefit of Switzerland. The Clock King can't get you there. Oh, yeah. Good point. It's great, isn't it?

Good point. I got another letter, Mason He's one of remittal from Hassan Okay He's our one and only listener from Iran Oh Hey guys long time listener First Time writer

I'm almost 31 And I've been listening to you Since 2013 That's sick Last 10 months Was very eventful for my people For lack of a better word Yeah I bet

And all the horrible things aside I wanted to thank you For being a bright spot In this situation for me Look forward to new episodes Every week I love your chemistry and banter Especially James's rant and personal vendetties

Hell yeah thanks brother Why don't I have as many rant What's going on there? Should I start doing a rant? No. No, it's my thing. Hey, if you did a rant. Yeah.

And then what if your rants are better than my rants? And then what am I? That's true. You're an also rant. This is good stuff, basically. Yes. Also, it would be inauthentic that I'll be like, oh, I've got something to say. No, I think you do have your moments where you're angry at a thing.

That's true, yeah. But I don't know. Yeah. I should have less rants because I, you know, I do all my meditations and exercises. That's true. So imagine if I didn't. imagine if I did. Have you considered the fact that your rants are your actual meditation

and the meditation you do is fake? Have you thought about that? Is that ever occurred to you? It's interesting. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, potentially. Oh, this is you. Oh,

fake. Also, I'm not, I was going to say, I'm not real life ranting. I am. That's also true. But I keep it here. I keep it private.

That's so true, yeah. I'm not bringing it into the public space. Anyway, Hassan says, I've listened to my entire adult life and listening to you feels like meeting two old friends from the other side of the world every week. I really love to visit Melbourne Sunday, even live there. You should.

Anyway, keep up the good work and pray for us. You're one and only resident Persian listener. I could look those up. I could look those stats up right now. Yeah, good luck, man. Yeah, absolutely. Jesus. Email again in a while.

Please do. Let us know you're doing right. Yeah, absolutely. My God. Yeah. Things are bad. Things are bad. Things are bad.

Things are bad. Yeah. But at least petrol is really expensive. And that's the most annoying thing to me. me. That is, yeah. That's why you're out there with your jerry cans every day. I am. Filling up petrol. That's right. This is all mine.

That's my petrol. I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna get it and soak my toilet paper in and I bought a billion rolls of toilet paper. It's funny because, like, things are worse than you think they would have gone. Like, do you know what I mean? In Australia. No, in general. Oh, sure.

And like, one person can just like destabilize like the entire fucking platter. Yeah. Well, one person with. other people backing them and certain genders and whatever let's not get certain genders did you say agendas is it all the genders is it James

that's doing this in the world some genders I guess are responsible I guess if you've had to you know if you back me into a corner I did that's the point is what I did yes I don't like you as for a joke I don't like you

thanks man this is the this is the this is the meditation we're talking about this is the real meditation and we've come telling someone you don't like them We've come to a place of truth, and I think that's beautiful. It is. Oliver Smith, but you are staying for dinner, yeah?

Yeah. Okay, good. Oliver Smith says, we've got a couple of the tie together. James, why do you wear your watch upside down? Watching the video, this is the crowd-fuss one. The mug game. Watching the video, I know I was supposed to be investing your meltdown, but watching the thing kept me, kept distracting me,

and I've got to fall up watch one. Is it because you watch, you wear it with the doll, inside of the inside? I don't know. My grandpa used to do it, and I just kind of, I've always done it. I've always worn my watch that way. Interesting. I want to say always, not always, but a lot of the time. Depends on the watch.

Some of them don't feel as comfortable for a couple of watches. And then this is for you as well. Quentin, who says, what were the watches that you're both wearing on mug? Also, that show was super difficult to watch. Pun on watch and watch. I can't remember what watch I was wearing. I was wearing a fossil with a green face, but I can't remember what it was.

I don't know the names of my watches. This is similar, this watch. I don't have that many watches there. This is a micro brand called Islander. Ireland. You love a micro brand. I did love a microbrewery man. You're like going and being like, ooh, I want a beer.

I'd drink. Oh, I want a beer. Oh, but a flight of beers. No, I'm not, no, no, no, no. I'd do a flight of siders and I'd go, Oh, I couldn't do a flight of siders. It's a place called Long Island Watch in Long Island, New York, and they sell a bunch of brands,

but they also sell their own brand called Islander, which is very good. Oh, okay, I could actually go and get that watch, because I know, I have, like, three watches, maybe. But, no, it's good. I said someone say, like, oh, that's got a really, like, thick band, but it doesn't really. It's like a regular band. I only like...

I only like thin bands. It's not a thin band. I want to flight of... Get me a flight of thin bands. I'm talking about this guy. Oh, good. I was going to say, because that's not what I said at all.

I'm like a flight of thin bands, please. Yeah, anyway, I like... I like Fossil. I like their watches, and I like that they're not crazy expensive. Yeah, right. They're a reasonably priced watch and they'd be looking good.

And you told me something about watches Mason. What's that? That they sometimes should match a bell, but they don't have to. That's so true, isn't it? You can just do whatever. Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter.

Doesn't matter. No one cares. No one cares. Nothing matters. Nobody's coming to save. So why are you wearing a green belt currently? Don't look at my green belt. Don't look at it and don't point it out.

Because you're moderately good at karate. No, at the moment, I'm very bad at kickboxing. That's what I'm working on. Interesting. That's because you're only kickboxing your kid. Yeah. Good. Moderately.

Moderately. That's all my things. What have you got? It's all my things. Great. We did the correct number of things. I agree. As we've done every week.
