The Weekly Planet, the Weekly Planet. Welcome back everybody to another episode of The Weekly Planet, where we talk movies and comics and TV shows. My name is James, also known as Mr. Sanday, and with me as always my co-host, Mason. It's me. What's happening? I'm vogueing.

Are you? Vogue. Let your body move to the podcast. You know what I mean? What is that? We're on theme, James, because the devil wears Prada 2 is out. And that song is back. Moving your body to a podcast.

Do it, do it right now. If you're listening to a podcast in public, Maybe you're on a train or something. What do you feel in your body? What do you feel? Just do it. Just do it. You know?

Yeah. Move to the sort of staccato awkward ramblings of two guys in a podcast who are out of touch. You know what I mean? You can do that every week every Monday with us. That's right. Yeah. What's exciting though this week, Mason? Are you a bit damp?

Bring that into it. Oh. Well, yeah, we're talking to Devere Words Prada too. Maybe not necessarily always in our wheelhouse. We're big fans of both a book and the original movie. Nope. Yes, we are. I've seen the movie.

Exactly. Oh yeah, it was a book, wasn't it? It was a book and then it was a movie? Was it a fiction book? Or was it like, because the character of Miranda Priestley is based on... I think it was loosely based on someone's real thing that happened to them or whatever. Yeah, real thing that happened to them. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But this one, not as much it seems as well going into it. Anyway, we've got other things to talk about as well. All right. If we must. If we must. We're going to talk the passing away of two comic book legends, Mason. Very unfortunate. We're going to talk about a potential Django Zorro crossover movie.

Oh, it's back. Oh, my God, Mason. I'm so excited. We're going to talk trailers, and that means a trailer for the new Resident Evil movie. I was going to say it's back in El Zitegeist, the Django Zorro crossover. Very good. Zitegeist.

Very good, Mason. Thank you. We're also going to talk, what's this? What's this, Mason? What is it? I don't know. Haven't scrolled down far enough yet. Interesting.

Maybe there's nothing there. The authority movie has been cancelled. I knew it was. Yeah, well, now you... I knew it was. I freaking knew it was. I knew it was the one. Because they'd talk about something being canceled.

Yeah, yeah. A long time ago, I'm like, that's the lot. And of course, we're going to talk out the fallout from a big movie. Big movie. That you may not have known even came out or come out called Desert Warrior. I'd seen the poster. Well, you've seen some memes. Yeah.

Well, that's all you need to know. Yeah. Until I dump all this information on you about that. and how it's a Saudi kind of money-washing image of rehabilitating movie. That's fun. There are time guides below. Rob Collings, who edits this.

What's his deal, by the way? Do you know? You think that it's because of his sort of skill set, incredible, and his outlook on life generally very positive and his can-do attitude. You think there's something bubbling under the surface. Something else is going on there. But it might be a good thing.

Might be more positivity, honestly. But also, thank you again. Not with us. Not with us. No. Thank you to everyone who signed up for big sandwich.co. Yes. But also, because it's all it now at patreon.com slash Mr. Sunday movies,

the entire back catalog, there's more payment options. There's also more video stuff there. Maisie is put together the last, we got this covered episode where we go through one of the worst Lord of the Rings clickbait articles of all time. Hell yeah. Just turn that into a video as well. Hell yeah.

It's looking really good and it's all up there and available if you are interested in signing up. It's people seem to be enjoying it. And I love that. Let's talk about this, Mason. Something I don't like. Jerry Conway has passed away at age 83. That's right. He had pancreatic cancer in 2022, but was declared cancer-free in 2023.

But since then, I'm not sure specifically what happened, but yeah, he has passed away. People would know him as a co-creator of the Punisher. Firestorm, Jason Todd, Killer Croc, Power Girl. He also wrote on the 80s cartoons, G.I. Joe, Transformers, My Little Pony. He worked on Spider-Man, the animated series. He worked on Batman the animated series. That's right. Incredible just contributions to,

comics and entertainment in general. He also, I think you worked on Law and Order as well. Oh, he might have. Yeah. Wow. He did the original Superman versus Spider-Man, DC Marvel crossover. I bought my son. It's back.

I bought my son the new one. He loved it. Oh, great. He was having no great. Venom's Superman. He couldn't believe it. And you got him Superman versus Muhammad Ali as well. He didn't like that one as much.

Okay. He didn't say why. Interesting. Have you read that? Yes. I've only ever seen homages. Oh, yes. Yeah.

Yeah. Dad did they depower Superman? I just like, don't punch him as well. hard as you can. No, he's under a red lamp or something. Oh, I'm under a red lamp.

It's under a red lamp or he's taking a pill or something. I'll be on Instagram. Everyone's on a fucking red lamp at the moment. Yeah. Yeah. This is very sad news.

Yeah, great talent. Yeah. Did you say he created Ben Riley as well? Like he was part of the clone saga? Oh, he was not a clone saga. Yeah, yeah. No, I didn't. So did he create,

so he wasn't in the original thing where Spider-Man had a clone and he dropped him down a smoke stack. No, he did that? He did that? I think so. I think so. I think so.

But he was... The clone saga. Everybody's dropping off point for comics. And he did the death of Gwen Stacy's story in life. Yes, he did. Yeah, wow. Incredible. So Kevin Feige said this of him.

Jerry Conway brought real stakes to his writing, able to weave together sensational superheroes, which with a human and relatable, and in doing so, created some of the most memorable stories and characters of all time. James Gunn said, of course, heads up the DCU. Co-creator of Firestorm, Punisher and Manbat, writer of the like you said the night when Stacy died the incredible Lazarus Pitt

stories and the Spider-Man clone saga an extremely influential run for me personally as a kid so yeah I mean this is also hot off the back of Marvel firing a bunch of their creative team terrific but also paying tribute to this man who was built a lot of the you know the foundation of what people love often uncredited and never referred to in yep you know in the on the screen hopefully I mean there is a new Punisher one-shot special presentation coming out soon. Hopefully he gets a shout. Least they can do.

He's so hard to put his name, co-created by. Stan Lee. Stanley did it. Co-created by Stan Lee. Have you seen the picture of Stan Lee pre his wig? Yes, without the glasses. What's going on there? He's just a man.

He looks regular. He looks like a completely regular man. I didn't realize how wiggard he was. I was very bigwiggard. Anyway, we had a passing of somebody else, mate. Also, Len Strzuski, who he was a comic writer. He worked on Starman, The Flash, Justice Society, the fly for Impact Comics, which was one of my defunct...

The Fly as in... What is that? So there was a... In the 90s, there was a DC licensed out a bunch of Archie comic characters called A Line called Impact Comics. And we've talked about it on one of our defunct comic company episodes. But it was like a... Yeah, it was a reimagining all these characters.

So it was the shield, the comet, the web, and the fly, which was one of the most fun ones. was about a teen who comes up with a magical amylet, gives him the fly powers. Powers of a fly. I was thinking human fly from the Simpsons, and it does look a lot like that. He also wrote the Street Fighter 2 comic for Malibu Comics back in the day,

which is most controversial because he kills off Ken Masters in the second issue. Like he has him straight up murdered. That's good. And people are like, this is crazy. Street Fighters is also a universe where, like, people don't come back. It's not like Mortal Kombat. No, exactly. He also wrote for the Malibu Comics Ultraverse, which you get another of our defunct.

He's just doing defunct comic book universes. Did he defunct all these? I think he might have defunct them. It seems that way, yeah. My goodness. Oh, fantastic work. Agreed. I actually agree.

No, it wasn't me. Oh, wait, we're both agreeing. Great. Great and good. Let's talk about this, Mason. This is some actual good news. It's by deadline. Sony Pictures.

First bit of good news from Deadline, I tell you that much. Maybe. It's always ring, ring you're dead. Ring, ring, you're dying. No, you're dead already. Sorry, we got that wrong. You're already dead. You're already dead.

And your greatest nemesis? Thriving. Sorry, just the way it is. Not despite you either. Yeah, that's just... Don't even think about you. You know that meme? That madman meme?

It's that, but you, you're dead. Your nemesis is thriving and not thinking about you. Fun fact about that meme, James. Go on. Dondrope actually is thinking. about him. I bet he is. He's thinking about that guy all the time. He's just pretending. Well, yeah, he was pretending a lot of that show, wasn't he? Mostly it was him pretending. Multiple layers because he was acting. Correct. There was an actor playing

John Draper. Jonathan Ham. Yeah, but John, Trayor. Yes, but John Draper was actually Dick Whitman. He was Dick Whitman. That's true. Yeah. So think about that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who created the Whitman sampler. Whoa. Yeah. I don't think that would be good, though. It was good. It would be dry. Come on. Too many dry ones in there. You've never had a Whiteman's. sampler in your life. You wouldn't know. You wouldn't know the joys of the Whitman sampler.

That's true. I would not know the joys. In fact, what it's called. I can't remember. Anyways, Sony pictures are moving your head. They discontinued James. They discontinued those

Reese's caramel cups. I mentioned them on a podcast or something like a week ago. Get the protein one. They stop, no. They stop making. I'll give you one. I got a bunch.

I don't want them. Do they have caramel in them? Yeah. Americans know what is caramel. Yeah, they're more peanut buttercups. I don't like, it's too dry. It's too dry. You don't know what's dry.

All right? This is a Whitman-Sampus situation. You don't know the name of anything or what's cancelled or not cancelled or what's dry or what's not. And I'm relying on you. That's why we do this so you can let me know, but you let me down every week. I know what's dry. All right. So any pictures, okay.

I've heard of them. They're moving forward with the Django Zorro crossover movie. I'll stop you there. No, they're not. Yes, they are. They're pretending they are. I hope they are. So Brian Helgland.

Helglin, he wrote Mr. Griver and Alley Confidential. Oh, yeah. He's going to write it, and it's going to apparently be a continuation of the story that was a seven-issue crossover comic, co-written by Quentin Tarantino, who of course directed Django and Matt Wagner. That was published in, like, 2014. It's a great comic. It's where a youngish jango teams up with a older Don Diego-Dalvega. Oh, yes.

There's been talk for a few years. is on and off that there was going to be an actual movie with Jamie Fox and Antonio Banderas returning as Zorro. Would love that. Yes. I love Zorro. There's a limited window there.

There is, absolutely is. I think they're the perfect ages. I don't know how the timeline works out exactly for when each movie is set. Who cares? It doesn't matter. I don't care. Because you also go,

it's an imaginary story, blah, blah, blah, blah. This is a legend that was told and it's these guys. And then some kids be like, you put a kid in the movie and he's like, But that timeline wouldn't even work out because one of them would be dead. Yeah.

And the other would be old. And it's like, well, this is an old West fable or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. And then they get trampled by a horse. God, can you imagine these two guys just killing racists and, oh my God. And being racist, but in a different way. To each other.

To each other. In a fun way. In a Shanghai Knights kind of way or whatever those movies were. So in the comic, I got to reread this. Django continued to track despite despicable prey as a bounty hunter and he developed a kinship with Don Diego Delavaga who was played by Anthony Hopkins

of course in the original movie but then he passed the mantle on to Alejandro played by Antonio Banderas in the 1998 movie which also got a sequel in like 2005 we've got two videos on them but apparently this new script will focus on a young Zorro I hope not

Look I know Zorro is a mantle that has to be passed but I think like part of the appeal of that comic is also that it is an old Zorro. Yeah. And a regular age jango. He can, you know, and he can do it later, I guess.

He knows the thing or two, a better thing or two. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, mate. Just, this is, I feel like this isn't going to happen.

Or if it does, it's going to be bad. That's what I said earlier. Or it's going to be bad. Yeah, sure. Because I want this so much. And Tarantino is not going to be, he's not,

he's not, he's not touching this. No, well, he's not directing him. He's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Sequel, which is sort of a sequel with Cliff Booth. I saw someone recently point out on Twitter that so many, like, great filmmakers started,

like they really hit their stride after 10. You know what I mean? Like Scorsese and, like, a bunch of people got, you know, nominated and won their first Oscars after they directed, like, their 11th, 12th movie kind of thing. It's like, what are you shooting yourself in the foot like this for? But I guess also his output isn't as, he doesn't have as many movies as probably Scorsese did it. That's probably true. And also, you know, at least early 60s.

And also, you know, also, you know, Tarantino's writing. all his own movies and blah, blah, blah, you know. Yeah. And what if he wins an Oscar for a movie he didn't write? He looked like a big loser. He looked like a big-headed big loser. That's exactly right. Yeah.

Anyway, I'm also kind of glad that he's not involved. Yeah. For reasons. Oh, yeah. I'm sure everybody can bring their own. Yeah, that's right. But, uh, yeah, that's where we're out. Yes, thank you.

Bring your own reasons. Mm. I love Zorro. Yeah. I love Zorro Mason. And I love in particular that first Zorro movie. and also the Zorro TV show in the 90s. Is it because of your fiery Spanish blood?

That might be part of it, yeah. I do have one Spanish person in my heritage, so you laugh and you joke. That's what I was doing, yeah. But I'm actually 100th Spanish maybe. Okay. Is it your father Zorro? Yeah, it's my father is Zorro. That's what I thought, yeah, yeah.

To be clear, his name is Zorro. His name is Zorro. He's not the actual Zorro. Zorro is fictional. Yeah. I read the first Zorro book in the lead-up to those videos I did. Zorro Clements. Anyway, Zorro.

Zorro. Yes. All right then. I'm happy for you. I know you are. I'm thrilled for you. I would also like to see this. This is like when I was excited of Indiana Jones.

Did you mention this? I did tune out slightly. Did you mention whose direct might be directing this? No, no name. I can around. Because I mean that's, that is the key here. Yes. And it's like, is that going to make it?

Yep. Who directed Martin Campbell? Martin Campbell directed. Both of the Zoros. Martin Campbell's still doing stuff? Yeah. The last thing he directed, I think, was Dirty Angels, which was that all-female. It had Eva Green in it.

I was Eva Green. Eva Green. Oh, the foreigner was 2017. That's apparently not bad, isn't it? Hmm. Yeah. I don't know. Jackie Chan, the Foreigner?

I feel like, yes. I feel like you want to, yeah, you want to lean more into, he also did a Green Lantern. You want to lean more into, I don't know, I mean, this, like, they're so over-the-top violent, or Django was such an over-the-top violent. It's so Zorro, but, you know, there's more squibbing in Django. I guess that's true. I would like that version of Zorro, where he's just running people through.

Sure, yeah, yeah. Exploding their organs with a sword and dynamite. Or do you do some sort of stylistic thing where Zorro's like killing people with that kind of, you know, in an old movie do the underarm stabs, so you're not actually stabbing anybody. But then Django's just like tearing people up with machine guns and there's big squibbed for days kind of thing, you know?

And they're fighting alongside and it's just like fake stab machine gun to death. Sure, I'll take it. Yeah. All right, let's do trailers. Honk, tingling. Yeah, one trailer, I should say. I don't like how there's a bike and a boat. Well, too bad.

It's only one trailer as well. It doesn't make any sense. They don't both need to be here. It's a big trailer, though. Yeah, but why are we paying for both, though? But I feel like you could go on just one of the eaers. Their union. That's why.

Their union. Don't believe in it. Damn. It's, of course, for Resident Evil, 2026. Oh, yes, that's right. This is Zach Krieger, who directed Weapons and Barbarian. It is set. parallel to the events of Resident Evil 2, but I saw this on Reddit.

I don't know whether this is true. Now, Resident Evil 2 is that... Raccoon City collapses. That's Leon's very bad day. Yeah, right? Okay, his first day at Raccoon City Police Department. But you don't need to know any of that seeing this movie. Also, again, according to Reddit, I saw somebody saw an early screening and there's a

modern cell phone in it. So it might be a... It might be that, but it's like... Right. So it's Resident Evil 2 is happening, but it's on a sliding timeline. Because the Resident Evil games pretty much happen in... There's a real, like it's a real timeline. Somehow, yes.

Like Leon's in like his late 40s, but he's still got the floppy hair going on. He's doing big flips and kicks. 100%. You're allowed to do that. I agree. He's doing motorcycle mayhem of like ruined highways and stuff. Yes, he is Mason. That's correct.

Hell yeah. Chris Redfield's a fridge now. He's a fridge. No, he got smaller briefly. Did he? And he turned up in one of them, one of the first person ones, but then something else. I don't know. Yeah, he got big.

Maybe he's big again. I don't know. Anyway, I bet my life on him being a big fridge man, right? You're right. In all new story, Resident Evil follows Brian. All right, first of all, bad start. Well, he's a regular guy, a medical courier who unwittingly finds himself in an action-packed non-stop race for survival as one fateful horrifying night collapses around him in chaos.

Okay, that sounds pretty good. So he is a normal guy. Yep. He's put into a Resident Evil game. Like that new guy. Who? The guy in Resident Evil Village, that guy. Yeah, like that guy.

That guy. Whatever that guy. But probably not a Mold Man. No. I wouldn't say he's a mold man. What's that guy's name? But he's a mold man. I don't know, man. Ethan Winters.

Okay. He's a mold man. Oh, he's a mold man now. Yeah. Always a mold man. Pre. Before he got there. No, he became a mold man.

I was going to say, I'm pretty sure. Yeah. He's gotten that wrong. He very quickly became a mold man. Well, you got to. You got to keep up. That's right. Yeah.

So you're going to become a fridge or a mold man. If you want to survive in the Resident Evil universe, what's this guy going to do? Which path? Which path, Brian? Frid your mold man. So, according to this trailer, also, what's the guy's name who's in it? He's in, he was in weapons and he was also in

Euphoria and whatever. Jacob Allorty. No. Oh, the other guy? Yeah. Yes. Austin Abrams. There we go.

So there's moments in this where he's like looking through drawers. Oh, yeah. Got a bit of a shoty. He's about a shoty. Conserving ammo. Oh, yeah. Things like that. Apparently there's more Resident Evil freak mutants than zombies.

Okay. So you see, there's like, yeah, zombies are boring. Zombies are boring. Resident Evil is. memorable for the giant eyeball at your shoulder freaks. But there is a moment where he's running down the street and there's like zombies like kamikazeing and onto cars. So I'm sure there'll be some zombie stuff.

People have also talked about, well, why is there snow here? Because if this is set in Raccoon City, but apparently it's set in the mountains near Raccoon City. Is Raccoon City not known for snow? If you've known anything about these games, Mason, and I know you do, you'll know that there's not any snow in that game, maybe. Wow. But I don't know. Wow. Yeah.

So this is a direct quote from Zach Kregor. You ready? A quote from Quaker. This is what he told me. Some brand new segment quotes from Quaker. This is going to continue up until the release of the movie. That's right. Someone will remind me next week.

I wanted this movie to tell the story of what would happen if some idiot like me were dropped into the world of a Resident Evil game. So Austin plays not some badass with combat experience like Leon but just an average dude. That makes his experience of moving through this hellscape way more interesting to me than somebody who's psychologically equipped. Very good. I have no problem with any of this. This is out September 17th.

Again, anything can be bad or good. I like the direction this is going. I know not everybody is sold on this. Also, because they're like, well, it doesn't pay homage, why isn't it Leon or whatever? Those games exist. And there are a bunch of other movies and they're all terrible. They are all terrible.

That's the thing, yeah. I think this, this from... There's entertaining moments in the movie. From the trailer, it gives Resident Evil vibes. not necessarily, doesn't have Resident Evil characters, but it gives the vibe, and I think maybe that's the key. Because again, like, there's versions that have characters we know that are evidently terrible.

There's versions that don't look anything like Resident Evil and those are terrible. So what if you get, you know, Zach Kregor with weapons and a barbarian, he can evoke a feeling, I'll tell you that much. And if he can go, okay, you go into this and you go, this feels like the Resident Evil world. It doesn't necessarily have to have the Reson and Barbarian.

and evil characters. If you're like, oh, we're trapped in this world and it sucks, that's fun. Agreed. That's fun.

And at the end, you go into a facility and you're like, yeah. I hope there's a scene where he has to just do weird object puzzles. Yeah.

And there's an eyeball coming out of someone's shoulder. Yeah. I'm looking forward to this. Yeah. And I won't have you say a bad word against the Django Zorro movie. I won't say it.

I will not allow that. Okay, then. Yeah. The authority movie, you know this. Yes. Has been canceled.

Correct. James Gunn said this. on threads. Or maybe it was never really getting, maybe it really, it never really got going. The quote is, I was never committed to this. I just kind of said it and I didn't mean it. I'm not sorry because I'm in charge. Wow.

I can do what I want. Wow. Yeah. He also said, I would have never had time to do this. And although I know this is a popular theory online, I was, I never had any intention of writing or directing the authority. The script wasn't quite there. And more importantly, it didn't work in terms of the larger DCU, both in terms of

the story and practical concerns, maybe someday, not soon. Yeah. This sounds dead. whatever version of this was happening. Now, for people who don't know, people who do know, you can still listen. You can still listen.

Maybe you'll learn something. You don't know what really. Maybe you were like, oh, I already knew this. Yeah. But so the character of the engineer in the Superman movie,

part of the authority. So the authority was a, is a DC superhero team that was imported from another comic company. Yeah, so it was from a company. Is it still defunct?

Well, or the DC just buy the whole thing. Yeah, they bought the whole thing. So it was a, it was a comic book company called Wilde. Storm was part of image. Oh, yeah.

Run by Jim Lee. Oh, yeah. They purchased it entirely and incorporated the characters into the larger DC universe, but for the most part, they don't really use them. And I think it's, they give it a shot. Sometimes the characters guessed in other people's comic books like the engineer did in the Superman movie. They've had a couple of tries at doing individual series for them.

But I would say the Wild Storm universe, it is a more, it's a more grim universe. and it's kind of, the characters are more sort of morally in line with the real world, whereas the DC universe is more of an idealistic kind of universe. So the authority as a team are kind of like, the ends justify the means kind of thing. You know, if they stop the bad guy and there's some casualties or collateral damage, it's not important because they won kind of thing. Yeah. Like one of the early wildstorm authority story arcs, I think it's the first one,

the earth is invaded by an army from a parallel earth where the British Empire was still around. British Empire still is around. They just met the president the other day. That's right. Yeah. So the authority defeats the invading army. Then they go to the other dimension.

Yeah. And they kill everybody in like the royal family and the ruling party. Like everybody and everybody in the government. And they're just like, don't like that. And so don't do it again. Like that's their vibe. And so like they, and then they come back

to the regular universe. And so it's like... They killed this British Empire as well, just in case. Exactly. But it's sort of like, well, obviously in that world,

there's going to be civil unrest and war and famine and all sorts of stuff after this. But that's not their problem. Yeah. And the problem with putting, the problem with inserting these characters in the DC universe

is that they butt up against Superman can always find another solution. Yeah. And Batman doesn't kill anybody. Yes. So they, you can't, have these, they either become the bad guys.

Yeah. Or they go, well, I realize I was wrong. And then they change. And then it's, they're no different for any other superhero team. I think that's really interesting where, but then you can take them to another universe and just be like, yeah, just lay waste. Yeah. To whatever's going on in here. They kill God.

Cool. They killed God. No, in the wildstorm universe. They killed God. Cool. Yeah. And again, like I think we mentioned before, they kind of did a speed run of that in Superman. Yeah.

The justice gang. Yeah. Because they're like, well, kill this. monster and Superman's like, you shouldn't have done that. And then they're like, we realize we're wrong. Yeah. So what are you going to do it again? Mm, you know.

Give me a kiss, Superman. Exactly. Who's saying that? Give me a nanite kiss. Is that? Okay, that wasn't lowest line. Give me a kiss, Superman. Give me a kiss.

I don't want to. Anyway, if you already knew all that, that's great for you. Yeah. Congratulations, yeah. Yeah. Dead in the water. Dead in the water. What is next?

Well, apparently they mentioned that Booster Gold is in development. Okay. And Paradise Lost is in extreme. That's the Wonder Woman Themisgira universe. Which is the moment I don't care about but I haven't seen any of it So maybe to be good.

What do you care about? Well, even boost a girl. Buying a Daytona machine? Is that what you care about? You don't need to tell people that I'm back on that trade. All right. I actually find that disrespectful

that you brought this up without even informing me you were going to do so. But you're going to tell everybody that I inquired about one and it was $24,000? I am going to tell them that. Also, it was,

but which is also like, that's too much. Yeah. I could just buy a car. Even though it was too. It was two seats. Yeah. And it was a great unit.

But also it was locked to just Daytona. And it's like, come on, man. Whereas you can get machines with, with the cost less, but have more games in them. Exactly. Thank you. Also, it's not a train. It's like a little racing car. What is?

You said you're back on the Daytona train. Oh, okay. It's not a train. I've been looking up trains. Yeah, don't do that. It'll get in your head. Yeah, okay. So it'll be all you can think about.

I'll just have, yeah, I'll be a trains guy. Am I making a mistake, Mason? No. All right. Treat yourself. You just want to play it. I don't even want to play it that much. You wanted to sit there and you walk past it every time you come here.

What I want to do is I want to scroll through all the options for the games that are available on it and go... Just Daytona, I reckon. Oh, yeah. No, not today. Yeah. What are we talking about? I forgot. Daytona.

But before that. The authority. The authority. Booster gold's happening. But even then with Booster Gold, I'm like, what is it? Who is it supposed to be Camel Nongiani? Oh, yeah, we don't have really. Oh, Glenn Powell.

could be Glenn Powell. Yeah. So, I don't know. If we wish hard enough, our fan casting will come true. I know that Kamau Nongiani, he's very open about this.

I mean, he's dead now. He's dead now. But he wants to be, like he was obviously very disappointed that he's not doing like a Marvel movie a year after the Italian. Like that's what his life was gearing up to be. And I'm sure he would.

And but he's also, he's done like Ghostbusters and whatever. Like he's done action roles. Many black international roles where like, he wants a breakthrough. action role and this like this could be it. Yes. Yeah.

We'll see. And maybe you can take his shirt off. I liked his comedy special actually. I didn't see it. Yeah, it's on, I think it's on Disney Plus. It's good. I like him a lot. Yeah.

And he's a good writer. And I liked his, um, the series that he did for was the Chippendale. Oh yeah. Yeah. Which was quite good. Welcome to Chippendales or something. Yeah. It was good.

Yeah. All right. Um, Booster Gold. I mean, you know, that's one of, because the idea behind him is he's traveled, he travels back in time to the present day for. for fame and fortune. Oh yeah. That's more relevant now than ever, isn't it?

It's more relevant than I've ever known. Yeah. Is it? Yes. Yes, James, it is. Okay. Desert Warrior. Deserts starring Anthony Macky.

Here's a synopsis. This movie's just come out. Can you do the synopsis and then tell us how much it costs to make? Yes. That's exactly how I've actually had it mapped out here. Terrific. Said in 7th century Arabia, Prince Hind defies her fate. Princess Hind, sorry, defies her fate.

refusing to become a concubine for the ruthless emperor, played by Ben Kingsley, by the way. He's a ruthless. He doesn't have one. Wow. And he's invading other nations. Maybe they can get him a roof. I don't know if it's about the roof. I haven't seen it.

Give us your thatchers, they'll say. Margaret Thatchers? No. No, no, no, no. Ben Kingsley's playing like an evil... Vizier or some sort of year. Yeah, Warren. Really?

Fleeing into the desert with her father. She's hunted merciless by merciless armed... forced army and forced to trust a legendary bandit, Mackie, with secrets of his own. You know he's got those secrets. You know why, James? He's got that, he's got that face. He does. You know, the face where he's got a little secret.

He does. He's born and these. You ready? You're doing... I'm pursing my lips. You're doing the Illumination smug-B face. Yeah. Rising from fugitive to fearless warrior, presumably he's a prince or something.

Yeah. Hind unites warring tribes for a four. final stand. Oh, I would not even know the whole thing. The Battle of Daiquar, a clash that will change history forever. This was directed by Rupert Wyatt, who did Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Now, was this, is any of that plot, is any of that real history of that region? Probably.

Okay, terrific. It's like Lawrence of Arabia-ish, it's same. That's what they were going for. This cost, allegedly, $150 million. I mean, that's not crazy. Not for Saudi money, absolutely not. In addition to that, it seems as if there was no marketing budget. I have seen the poster.

I've seen the poster. Zero. I knew nothing else about this. So it was backed and funded by Saudi Arabia as a sort of modern day answer to Lawrence of Arabia was mentioned. IGN said, from a Saudi point of view, the intent with Desert Warrior is clear.

Kickstart Saudi Arabia's expensively funded film industry and show off the country in a positive light to Western audience. They're doing a lot of this. They also did it with Live Golf, which also recently collapsed. They basically tried to take all the... Live golf collapsed? They tried to take all the place.

I'm going to call them. from P. My friend Liv golf. Live golf. My friend live golf. You like me thinking of Dorff on golf. I am thinking of Dorff on golf. I can't call my friend Dorf on golf.

He's fallen out of his shoes. It was like they wanted to do their version of the PGA and they bought a bunch of the players. But nobody watched it, the whole thing collapsed. Even Tiger Woods was like, this is unethical. Which is hilarious coming from there. The idea being, I think, is they're trying to be like we're more than just oil.

Yes. But like, I also like, it's, weird to me as someone who watches all the superhero trailers and all that sort of stuff, that this hasn't popped up just as part of my algorithm. Like, that's a mistake has been made here, clearly. I can tell you why. Apparently it was a nightmare production with internal politics between various stakeholders.

This was filmed in 2021 with the crew approximately of 450 to 500 people per day, and none of the stars have promoted it. No, correct. So it's been five years since they started filming this. But I mean, like, you wouldn't, you wouldn't start. promoting it until you knew it was coming out, right? This is also, like Anthony Mackie, I think people have come to the realization that like, this is not a leading man necessarily.

He works in like a smaller role. Or he also, or not even that. They haven't found a role for him. I would say he is because a lot of people like Twisted Metal. They think he's good at that show. And I think, again, it's, it's, I think he could do very well as a leading man in a movie, but you need to. In a good Captain America movie.

In a good one, exactly. Like I've seen people go, well, he's not Captain America. But the thing is that that movie's not... Well, he is. It's inarguable. It is Captain America. But like, that movie's not good. Yeah.

And if it were a good movie, people would be like... That's a good movie. Yeah. He's Captain America. People would be like, well, I'm racist, but even though... Even with that in mind, it's undeniable. It's a good movie kind of thing. I, you know, got to give him credit for that.

But, yeah, I did... Bad out the gate, that movie. Absolutely. Which is unfortunate. I don't know what I said about at the time. Probably it was fine, but it's bad. Yeah, it's fine to bad. I regret saying it was good because it's bad.

You definitely didn't say it was good. I don't think either of a set it was... We might have. I don't think we see... Don't make us eat our words. I won't. So this opened to 110 North American theaters over the weekend. That's a lie.

And it made $472,000, which is $4677 per theater. Let me see if it's got an Australian release date. I don't think it does as far as I'm... So, I don't know if you heard that because you were looking Australian release dates. Now, that's low. Yeah, $467 per theatre and there was a thousand theatres. Atrocious. Well, Google AI said it's not a major Australian production.

Yeah, I know. Thanks, Google. Thanks, Google. That's really helpful. That's what I meant. That's what I meant. It may be on Apple TV at some point. Wow.

Yeah, I can see them buying that for like next to nothing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Also, I think people, I mean, people know this. because people don't know this. People will definitely know this. This $150 million for a Saudi-funded project, that's nothing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is peanuts. This is like, like the amount of money they are putting into other projects, like entertainment, media, sport, golf, whatever.

Dauph on golf. The reboot. It's billions, billions of dollars. Let me ask you this, James. How do you think Anthony Macca would look with shoes on his knees? That's pretty funny, I guess. He would look good like that, right? But do you think that would help him leading man, become a leading man material?

I don't know, man, but it's a check in the bank, isn't it? It might be a check in the bank. I mean, he's probably got 10 million from there. Probably. Yeah. Doesn't need to be Dauphon Golf. Or any other unlikely scenarios, like playing basketball. Yeah.

Where a diminutive statute would not help, which is comedic. I keep thinking like Dauphon Golf is like a video game. You're thinking of that one in the Simpsons? The Simpsons's Pudding Challenge. Yeah, Lee Carvello's putting challenge, yeah. This Dauphin Golf is a movie. I don't know about this, man. All right.

It's got Vincent Chiavelli in it, though. Okay. Sheavelli? Maybe. He was the ghost, one of the ghosts and ghost. Now, look, Google AI, which I can't switch off, seemingly, says Desert Warrior starring Anthony Mackey is set for release on theaters on April 24, 2026, but it doesn't, which has already passed.

But it doesn't say in Australia specifically. Oh, well, as you said, we'll catch it on Apple, whatever. Yeah, no, we won't. How long is it? It's a bloody personal question, mate. Sorry, how wide is it? It's 114 minutes. That's too long.

Yeah. It feels like a movie that's going to feel way longer. Yeah, exactly. Like if it's a really good movie, 140 minutes is short. I'll chew through that. I'll fly by through that. Yes. All right.

Should we move it along? Yes. What is it? It's devil wears Prada. Ah! The devil continues to wear Prada. Oh, yes. Yeah.

Been at the bloody, bloody, down at T.J. Max. Yeah, maybe. Which is not okay, I think. It's not okay. It's not okay. Okay. Don't do not get your clothing at a discount. Discount retail and don't do it.

No, no, no, no, no, no. Pay full retail or be rich and get it for free. Yeah, that's probably a better way to do it. Or borrow it from Stanley Tushy? Yeah, he'd probably give it to you. Probably give it to you, yeah. Oh, we'd give it to you. Yeah, that's right.

Budget of $100 million. Okay. I mean, you know, it's a comedy comedy. What are you mean? I mean, it's a light comedy, yeah. It's a light comedy, yeah. It's a light comedy, light drama. Thank you.

The return is $70 to $80 million in the US. opening. It could be a little bit higher than that. It'll make $150 million worldwide. This will probably do well over the next few weeks, make its money back in a little bit more. Just in time for Valentine's Day. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Big Boxing Day release. Oh, yes. In Australia, we do start of May, Valentine's Day, then Boxing Day. That's right. And we love it. That's right. We wish the world would adopt that.

Also, it's going up against the Michael Jackson. movie as well, which is... Which we do every year. Which is doing... Yeah, that's right. After boxing day, we set up every new movie against the Michael Jackson movie. That's right, yeah. Which comes out before boxing day.

That's correct, yes. Yeah. Which is doing really, really well. Which, you know, that can't be helped. Nope. It's not my fault. That's kind of my fault. I need to go see it. But I used cinema points.

Oh, well, you know. Yeah, all right, mate. Ethically. All right, mate, you've got a lot of cinema points. All right. Yeah. I'm loving all the Michael Jackson defenders. They're making a lot of good points.

Like, maybe he didn't do anything. Sure. Yeah, good point. That is great. That would be great if he didn't do anything. It would be better for the world, I think ultimately if he didn't do anything and I would be in favour of that. Yeah, me too. If you can't show proof of that. Yeah, definitely. I guess you can't prove a negative. No, you can't prove a negative. What do you think the story was? Oh, right, all right. Yeah. So Andy, so that's Michelle Pfeiffer. No. Ann Hathaway. Thank you. Anne Hathaway. Andy Hathaway, she's been doing a big, she's been doing a big journalism for the last 20 years. Yeah. She's been having a grand old time. Doing hard-hitting journalism.

But guess what? She's coming a long way. She got laid off. Everybody gets laid off. In journalism, sure. Everybody in journalism. At a journalism award ceremony? You wouldn't believe it, but yes.

You wouldn't read about it. Yeah. You'd watch it about it. In the movie The Devil Was Prada too. You'd watch that happen live. Yeah. Watch it live. They performed it live in my theatre.

Beautiful. They flew them all in. Yeah. Anne Hathaway, the other guys, they were all there. Whoever else was in there. Whoever else was in there. Group, yeah. But she's like, well, now I've got to get a job.

How am I going to get a job in this economy? Well, guess what? somebody's going to call. When the truth doesn't even matter. That's true. An AI, whatever. But you know what does matter? What?

Beauty and fashion. Always. So guess what? She gets a call and somebody's like, Do you want to be Vogue again? Do you want to be Vogue again? Do you want to be in Vogue again? Do you want to be in legally distinct Vogue again?

Yeah. Yes, I do. She goes back to work at Runway magazine. Mm-hmm. And boy. With a devilish Miranda Priestley. Yeah. Played by Meryl Streep.

She's still there. Boy, if things changed. They haven't. But the more they change, the more they stay the same, including haircuts. There's more content? It's a wig. She's wearing a wig. There's more way.

She's very obvious. Yeah, you can see the line. You can see the line. They've not even committed to like a haircut where they've covered the, as you've mentioned, where they cover the air line. They cover the wig line. It's just out there. You don't want to, she doesn't want to actually have that haircut and I appreciate that.

Of course not. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I don't remember where there was a wig in the first movie. But maybe runways in trouble too. Why? Because of content and video and content and scrolling. You can't even go to Paris.

Paris Fashion Week anymore or whatever. If you go, it's not as good. You can't get to Paris Fashion Week anymore because everyone's on their phones. You can't get on the plane for everybody being on their phones in front of you. Get off your phone. Get off your phone. Go to Paris Fashion Week. Get off your phone.

If everybody got off their phones and just went to Paris Fashion Week, it'll be a better world, wouldn't it? Also, then we can rob your house. That's right. It's right. Rob you of all your phones. Sell them. Yeah. Anyway, everybody's back.

Everybody's back. Except for... Adrian Grenier. They couldn't fit in. Apparently they were thinking about putting him in. Okay. They couldn't fit him in the overhead locker to take him to Paris Fashion Week. But Anne Hathaway's back, Merrill Striever's back, Emily Blunt is back, Stanley Tootchie's back,

and some new people and some freaking cameos. Oh, my goodness. All the greatest. Hugh Jackman, but not really. He's mentioned, but he's not in it. Someone says there's Hugh Jackman or whatever. That's right, yes. But it wasn't really him.

This is fine. I think what it does do, it's kind of, good at acting like any of this matters. Absolutely. But it also knows that it doesn't matter. Like, it's self-aware enough to be like, but in the first movie, there was a very, you know,

distinct scene where Merrill Street breaks down why fashion matters based on a sweater that Andy is wearing, which makes a small cameo in this at the head, by the way. I think, I call it the you dumb bitch thing. Because she's like, I just, well, I just bought this sweater because it's blue. She's like, you dumb bitch.

You didn't even know. I made you wear that sweater. You didn't even think about it because you're a dumb baby. Idiot. Yeah, but there's nothing... Kill yourself. There is nothing in here like that that kind of justifies this world existing. Okay.

Which I'm not saying it shouldn't because we work in a nonsense industry. Correct. No, sorry, we work in industry the report, which is nonsense reporting on a nonsense industry. Absolutely we do. So, you know. Yeah. We're the runway of podcasting. Oh, yeah.

dumb bitch. This is why this matters. Just kidding, it doesn't. Yeah. What's interesting about this? So, so, you guys enjoyed it,

generally speaking. I think Merrill stream is terrific. Delightful. I think she is terrific and she's very good at playing this character, but they, they've rounded the edges

off this character. And there's some scenes like, but is that because she's mellowed with age? Well, there's mallet with age, and it's also like, oh, you can't say, you have to say

body positivity. Oh, the HR doesn't want you to throw your fucking coat of people or whatever. Don't tell people to kill themselves. Don't tell people to kill themselves, etc. Literally in the movie.

We didn't make that up. No, that's in it. But there is like her depth of knowledge. That's a good joke, by the way. Yeah, I agree. There's a depth of knowledge that she has and a business saviness which basically she's able to revive her career and save the company in the first one. Whereas this, she feels like a passenger and the events kind of play out around it.

I don't feel like she ever comes into her own again. gets her groove back as it were. Oh. Like, and it's sort of, and nobody, we mentioned this also before we started, and nobody really learns anything. No, that's true. What's interesting. Is you what I'm talking about though?

Yeah, so the, so Andy comes to work for, uh, runway again because runway magazine has been involved in this scandal because they, um, they have accidentally promoted a, a fashion business that is revealed to have employed sweatshop labor. Yeah. That's very bad because they said it was good, but then the big. revealers it's bad. But the business is called speed fash. Interesting. So it's like, was that not a red flag at all? Yeah. I think you are losing your age Miranda Priestley if you're like, oh, speed fash. That sounds good. Like speed fascism.

Yeah. I love that. That's right. She's like, yeah, we support all the big fashion houses like Louis Vuitton and Prada and speed fash. Was that not? Come on. Get it together. Get it together. What are you thinking? Look at the numbers, man. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, yeah, because it's, it's that. there so she is kind of losing her age and losing her step, but she's also looking for a promotion, but it's also like, you're 70, six years old,

she's like, I finally get this job and it's like, what do you mean? Yeah. There were numerous times throughout this movie where I'm like, you are so rich. Yeah. You've got summer homes and,

you know, waterfront summer homes and all these beautiful. You're friends with Oprah's best friend, Gail, probably. You don't just have a Mercedes. You have the fancier Mercedes that normal people don't know about, the Mayback.

Yeah, but she's also kept the same job for 20 years. Yeah. She's kind of in amber. Yeah. I'm like, you don't, yeah. But again, I mean, I guess the ultimate thing is like this is the industry she loves. She loves doing the job, I guess. So, you know.

Yeah. But like Anne Hathaway character did feel like she moved forward. Whereas Meryl Streep felt like she took a one step backwards, if anything. Yeah. So, you know, there is that. Also, I don't think it's as funny as the first one. She does have a love. I won't lie to you.

I don't know. remember. I don't remember the first one. He's funny. Yeah, you're right. I haven't seen in 20 years. I don't actually know that. But I remember it being funnier than this. But she does have a love interest in Patrick Bramel who's great. Andy does. Merrill Street has a love interest. It's Kenneth Brunner. For some reason. But they've been married. He's not in the original, right? But they've been married forever. Forever, yeah. And they've got two kids. Did she have somebody else in? She was thinking of M. I'm sure she's, they think of Am and Casino Rai. She comes into her house in the first one. She's having an argument with someone or, but he's not,

he's definitely not in it. I don't know. Well. Anyway, he's great, but also irrelevant. And also Patrick Bramwell, who I love, if you haven't seen Colin from accounts, you should, it's terrific. He co-created that with, who does he co-created with? Harriet Dyer.

Harry Dyer. Okay, there you go. Our friend Broden is in it from time. Broden is in it. He pops up in that show. They're fun together, but that is a different movie. It's a different movie, but he's also... He's clearly been able to do a bit of, like, improv as well.

Yeah, but I think his deal is also, they were like, Andy needs to have, because in the previous movie, her relationship with Adrian Grenier was kind of like, he was like, I don't think she should take any opportunities. I think you should just be with me, a piece of garbage kind of thing, right? And she's like, oh, what do I do? And I think they've decided well in advance of this movie

to be like, this is a character who is very stable and very accommodating, and he's not really meant to be part of the drama of this movie. so he's just there. I'm looking at the plot summary on Wikipedia and he gets like two mentions. Meanwhile, she finds a new boyfriend, Peter. Then it says, Andy jeopardises her relationship with Peter.

Yeah, because she's like, your job doesn't matter fixing up houses. And he's like, yeah, that's probably true. But also, like, your job doesn't matter. Anyway, spoilers for the movie. Andy reconciles with Peter. And he goes, all right. That's right. Yeah. He also is allowed to be Australian, which I appreciate. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. It makes him more in hearing. And I think, also, I watched a red carpet, a snippet of a red carpet interview with him. And he turned down the audition initially. Yeah, he was like, I don't want to do this. And then they were like, it's your turn to look after the kids right now. I'm going to do. I think she might also be an actor.

She is. Yeah. And so he's like, I don't have time for this. And also, I'll send in an audition tape and nothing will happen. But then they asked him again. They were like, no, we actually want you. You can just do it. Yeah. That's right. And he's like, no, no, I don't want to do that. Again, I really like him and I like them as a pair, as in real life and in Colin from accounts, which is, again, a show that people should watch. BJ Novak is in this. Oh, yeah, the other driving plot of it.

It's tech, Mason. Yeah, so the billionaires, they're saying something sort of. Media, conglomerates. Yeah, so the billionaire owner of the company that owns runway, he dies, and his son is going to take over, his son takes over the company. And of course, as a puffy vest wearing tech guy, his first thing is to bring in a million management consultants

and cut and cut and cut and cut and cut. And so runways in jeopardy, they're going to, even though Andy's coming, she's like, I'm going to do important, I'm going to do important journalism. I'll get an interview with Lucy Lou. Well, she's like, first she's like, I'm going to do important journalism. And she does some, and they're like, well, it's good,

but nobody's reading it because then it's not TikTok. You dumb bitch. You dumb bitch. So she's like, I'm going to get an interview with a recently divorced socialite. Hell yeah. Who's very reclusive. And Miranda Preece is like, well, if you do that, that'll be good. Yeah.

And I'll respect you for a minute, for one moment. Then I won't again. Then I won't again. I'll change my mind. I don't go back to thinking you're a dumb bitch. Yeah. So there's that. Yes.

But also, so the company, B.J. Novak takes over from his father and then wants to gut Vogue or not Vogue, legally distinct Vogue. Correct. But at the same time, Justin Thorough. character who was married to Lucy Lou. Yes. Who's one of those weirdo tech bro now health gurus. He's also on, he's not doing water at the moment, which I think that's a good joke.

It feels like something one of those guys would do. He's now with Emily Blunt. Yes. Who works for Dior. And they, and so the idea was then, well, then if he buys the company, then they can keep Meryl Streepin. I wish they showed us what, like fashion and clothing speed fash was doing. I would love to know what it looked like. Because you would know immediately, right?

Yeah. go, oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, that's made out of recycled plastic bottles. I can see the labels. Yeah. This just says Sprite, 10,000. A lot of product placement in this. Well, yeah.

You can, there's literally that they kept a take. Do you want a $10,000 bag? They've kept a take where Andy is sitting with her friends and talking about, you know, her work troubles and all, what are we going to do kind of thing. And one of their character sets a beer bottle down and then turns it so you can see it says Stella Artois on the label towards the camera. And boy does it. And they've kept that in.

You got to. And then there's ads for, I don't know, Diet Coke. There's so many Diet Coke. So many Diet Coke in there. He's not a Diet Coke if we can. Yeah. Does we do some spoilers? I guess.

It's all right. Best movie ever. Yeah, I don't. I think it's kind of toothless. Sure. And maybe the first one was, again, I don't remember. So this is a secret sequel to How to Train Your Dragon. That's right.

Yeah. Maybe an in-between quote. Yeah. I don't know. It's harmless and fun. And I would say if your partner's like, hey, you want to, to see how to devil wears brighter too

don't be look it's not worth it yeah just just see the movie just think it yeah think it but don't say it yeah what was your cinema made up of exclusively women exclusively women yeah yeah correct yeah

a lot of mothers and daughters I think yeah my was the age range of mine was like huge yeah and there's a lot of screenings as well absolutely they're expecting big numbers on this also it didn't get much of a response just from order maybe it's a tepid would you say I was just like

like laugh wise I guess yeah it felt like in my cinema it felt like people were like yep we understand that's a joke yeah yeah except for the joke where she Miranda says she's not good she says it's not bad that I said I'm going to kill myself because I didn't say I was going to kill other people

people like that one okay fair enough there's some celebrity cameos spoilers spoilers yeah stuff so who are celebrities Amelia de Moldenberg is in it from chicken chop date chicken shop date

who else is in it. Lady Gagas in there. Oh yeah, she makes an appearance as someone who hates Merrill Streep's character. Ronnie Chang is in it? He is in it. Far out of years too. He's at that rich celebrity party. He's in it as a personal guest of Miranda

Priestley at her summer home by the lake. I assume she's a big fan of his stand-up bit where he talks about washing his dick in the sink. I'll ask him about it. You should? You in contact with him? Not recently. Yeah. Oh, that's fun. Yeah.

I also, I never, I always knew where this was going in that Lucy Lou was going to buy the company. Right, yeah. Because she has an interview with Mail Street earlier on and they're like, we're women in business and whatever. You know, I think I did know that, but there's a moment, there's a blank. I had a brief blank because there's a moment where Miranda Priestley and Andy are like, let's do a big plan and let's go, you know, we've got the solution here. I thought they were going to go to the real version, like the Vogue lady. Oh, okay.

bail them out. Anna Wintour. That's the one, Anna Wintour. Well, that would be a hell of a move. Well, I wouldn't do it.

I wonder what she thinks of this. I think she was in the first one, maybe, or she wasn't. I don't know. I think she's fine with it. All right then. Yeah. And there was all,

you know what, there was an emotional moment in this for me. Yes. This is genuine. Stanley Tucci is great in this. Yes. Just as steady as they come. What is that?

He's not sort of the long term, what would you call it? He's sort of a long term dog's body kind of character. He does, He does all the grunt work, you know, and he's sort of, I don't know, he organizes everything and, you know, he's not really, he's not her personal assistant. No. He's just a guy who runs most of the business. Absolutely.

Meryl Streep talked about him being like, has an elegance to his heterosexuality, which I think is true of all. It's true of all of us, no, it's absolutely not true of all of. But I think that is very true. Again, not knowing this person at all, but there's a moment where it's revealed at the end that the reason that Andy got. the job was because Stanley Tucci put the word out to bring her in. And I was like, oh, he's not. He said, let's put the word out on the streets. We back.

We back. And they called Andy. And that was a really nice moment of like he remembered her. He does actually care about people. He does kind of throw her under the bus at a certain point in one of the meetings, I think. Yeah, fine. Whatever. But he's like, I guess he's telling the truth.

He's telling the moment where she puts out her first big bits of big real journalism. And Miranda Priest is, like, and did those do well? And he's like, me, kind of thing. Well, he's right. Yeah, he's right. Yeah. So I liked that.

But also, it does feel like, because at the end also, Meryl Streep is now running it with, um, Andy. And I guess not quite on the same level, but they're, you know, they're more peers than they ever were. But it is this thing of like, I'm still, I was still stab you in the back and a heartbeat. Like Meryl Streep didn't learn any lessons or about.

Neither did Andy because at the end of the movie, well, in the, in the mid, at the mid point of the movie, midpoint of the big movie Emily Blunt who is with Justin Theroux And he's fun They both They scheme or at least Emily Blunt schemes

To take over the company And get rid of everybody And fire Everybody Strip and everybody And at the end of the movie And he's like Well we can still be friends

Yeah You shouldn't be friends With that snake When that snake That box dice snake Dike Diner in the toilet.

Get out of here. That's what's going on. Yeah, get out of here. We know what's up. Because she was forced out to go to Dior by Mel Streep. It must be nice. It must be nice to be fired

and then I'd go to work at Dior. Christian Dior. I wouldn't be good at that, I reckon. Working at Dior. Yeah, this is all too shiny. You are wearing an athletic t-shirt right now. It's because I did an athletic walk.

That's all right. That's what you can tell people in the, in the boutique. I'm not an athlete. Why are you wearing an athletic shirt? I did an athletic walk. I'm not an athlegia guy. All right.

I'm not an Athalizia dad. I wear normal clothes and then I wear athletic clothes. Yeah, I'm wearing runners because I went for a fucking athletic walk. Interesting. Why wouldn't I wear runners? What do you think I'm going to wear? Clogs? Yes.

You fool? Clogs. You absolute simpleton. Louis Vuitton Clogs. Yes, with the monogram on it. Yeah. It's all right. It's light.

It's like. It's popcorn. It's, you know, it's... Could be funnier. That's what I'm saying. Could have got Ronnie Chang to do a pass... Do a joke. He didn't do a...

He doesn't talk. He doesn't say anything. He could be doing his famous washing his dick in the sink routine. Exactly. He hasn't done in 15 years. He's famous for it. Yeah. Yeah.

But they could have got a dad of Caleb Heerans in it as well. Who's that? Who's that? Oh, yeah. He's the big, he's a comedian as well. Get one of those guys. He's sassy on podcast.

Yeah, do one of them to do a pass on them. That's more jokes. Yeah, man. Maybe they're like with this son of movie. They're like, we can't have too many jokes. Yeah, I guess that would be a problem. It would be terrible if this was funny at all. That's right.

Which it is sometimes sort of. Intermittently, it is funny. But, you know, predictable as well. It is exactly what it's supposed to be. If you have very fond memories of the previous one, sure. Then this is the same-ish sort of. Yeah, same-ish sort of. Just updated for what if AI though and big business.

Isn't there too many? That's right. That's right. Maybe, yeah. Yeah. Can't believe you'd wear that kind of blazer when in the previous movie you did. Yeah, you did. Yeah.

Should we move it along? Let's move it along. All right. We've had enough of this. Okay, it's what we read, what we're going to read. But I haven't had enough of that. I'm doing a thing. I'm doing it.

What are we reading today? Well, well, well. It isn't the greatest segment of the show. Is it? No, probably not, actually. We normally have a killer new segment that people think is a highlight of the week. I think so too, right? And then something unhinged happens at the end of the episode.

Sometimes it does. It depends on how long we've been recording as well. We recorded a bunch of stuff, things called. off the rails very quickly. It's true. But not this week. No. We're going to be chill and also Cavalier. Yep. Yeah. They work together?

Yeah. I think so. Isn't Cavalier like, that's also like I don't care. Oh. Is that what? Am I saying chill and chill and chill and extra chill? Chill and reckless, if anything. Oh, okay. Yeah. I like that. Okay. Mason, what have you been doing or reading? We're both up to date on the boys. We certainly are. What do you think so far? Yeah, it's good. It seems like it is wrapping up because they're killing, No, they, well, yeah, but not important people. Sometimes. New characters that they're bringing in.

Spoiler alert, A train got killed. Oh, that's true. No, that's, you're right. Well, Firecrackers, what? Three seasons? Oh, yeah, she also got killed. She is three seasons old. She is three seasons old.

It was pointed out to me the Stormfront season. Yeah. Season two. Also, definitely alive. Yeah. And Homeland is mom. Yes. Yeah.

Both of those things. Yeah, exactly. Well, I think she also needs to be alive because they are doing Fort Rising, which is the prequel. And I think they want to put her back into people's minds. Oh, okay. They want to

retract, they want to put it back in so people like, oh, still live and we're going to see her story. Do you think

she'll have robot limbs? Anakin Skywalker style? Maybe. Yeah. The bad ones. Crook ones. Yeah. Yeah.

But yeah, did you like the supernatural reunion? I did. And I liked. Because it's Jared Padalecki and the other guy. We're doing all spoilers. This is spoilers,

yes. There's a bunch, there's a celebrity poker tournament happening. Yeah. Yeah. Just a game, just a game.

It's got, it's got new soups or soups that have been referenced, I think, perhaps, but not seen yet. Yeah. Including Jared Padalecki as the guy that A-Train beat out as, he's the speedster that A-Train beat out to replace him in the seven. He's also now making movies for the spin-off of what cinematic universe movies.

Oh, that's right. It's their spam. Yeah. They even say so. Which is a nice way of kind of, you know, lampshading the fact that they are actually doing spinoffs to the boys now. Multiple spin-offs. But it also felt like, yeah, that's the Marvel Sony spin-off.

Spider-Man movies that they're referring to. Yeah. And then what's the guy who plays Castile? What's his... Oh, oh. The guy's name is now, yeah. But I meant the actor's name, but the character's name is... Mads Mickleson.

No, Matt. Misholins. Yes. Hisha Collins. He plays chemical man or something. Malchemical. Malchemical. There we go.

Who can make chemicals in his body, I should. Yeah, we can all do that. Mm-hmm. Also, yeah, and also Seth Rogen, who executive... So it's Seth Rogen, it's Will Forte, it's McCleaven, who has a real name. Christopher Mintzblas. Yes, thank you. And, Commandantanagiani, yeah.

And just watching, because they all explode. It is funny watching Soldier Boy just put them in front of the A-Trade character, the old A-Train character, and watching him run through them. Yeah. I like that sequence a lot. It's fun, yeah. That's, I think that is, that is, I think, you know, this, the last, probably the last season or two, like in retrospect,

you know, it's had, so definitely had some highs and lows. I think that's the sort of stuff that is, that's the most fun, I think, kind of thing. And I think probably the least fun is just the fact that we are kind of treading oval, ground. Oh, okay, yeah. Last season definitely felt more like that.

I think I am enjoying this season more than the last one. Yeah, I think I am too. Yeah. For that reason. Yeah. But all in all, I am enjoying the direction that's going in. Yeah. And all of that.

Yeah. So apparently the thing that they put up, that they thought, oh, this is too ridiculous, even for the real world is that Homeland is like, well, I'm Jesus. And then Trump did the... He put up a post, yeah, well, I'm saying, but, you know.

Yeah. But I think I've seen people being critical of this season and probably the last couple, because nobody in the boys has suffered any kind of harm or... Okay, yeah. All the main characters there. And obviously that's because the actors have contracts.

Yeah, sure. You know, but, you know, you could always kill one and then you see them in flashbacks or something like that. Totally, yeah. But like the idea that... Or shape-shifting or whatever. The idea that this whole team of which two or three have, you know, of the five or six,

however many there are at any given moment, only a few of them have superpowers. And those characters are not as powerful as any of the evil super characters. And the remaining characters are just normal humans. Nobody has been killed. There might be a moment where Huey's like, I've had some terrible things happen to me, but we've got to get on with it. Yeah. And that's kind of the extent of it, even though, like,

He's had just awful experiences the entire time, I guess, other than like actual physical harm. Yeah. Yeah. Like severe, I guess. Yeah, but again, it's, you know, it feels like a good time to wrap it up as well. It does something. I like that they are, they brought in Soldier Boy as a more permanent mainstay. I think that is working for this season.

I don't know. If you agree. No, I think he's very, you know, Jensen Ackles, great it and everything, really. Great hair. What do he do? What did he do? Because immediately post-supernatural. I mean, they've both just consistently worked, I think.

Jared Padalecki did walk a Texas Ranger, the reboot, which was recently canceled. And where did Jensen Ackles do? Oh, good question. Probably some, maybe a soldier boy. Probably Smallville. Probably Smallville. I think they probably also took some... He just reenacted Smallville in his basement.

He was in Smallville, though. Oh, he was in the TV show Tracker. That's probably what I'm thinking of, yeah. But on the recurring role. Well, right then. As Tracker? No. He shows up sometimes to the show and other episodes.

It's just all the other characters waiting around. for tracker to show up. Soldier Boy came in 2022. Huh. Which is, doesn't feel like that long ago. No. But yeah,

I don't know. He's in things. He doesn't need to work every day. How many episodes we got left of this? Like three or four or something? Yeah. Who do you think is going to live and die? Uh.

Butch are going to die? Who? But you're going to die? No. Interesting. I think he's going to be like, and now you have to live your life. Because it's going the way that he's going to die.

Yeah, right. Also, you think that's a, that's a... It'll probably be mother's milk. And it's eight and it's eight and, In total, and we've had five. Yeah, right. And maybe either Frenchy or Kimiko. Kimiko.

And Huey and Starlight will live. Interesting. That's what I think. Okay. Yeah. Anthony Star has said, maybe he's a week or two ago, that the worst thing Homelander is ever going to do hasn't happened yet. Great.

I think it's maybe kill Butch's dog. Oh, okay. You did have that weird dream about him. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. How did you feel about that almost? It's kind of like a... Which is not.

Bad considered... I mean, in the context of the show, it's not the worst thing he's ever done, but it's the worst thing a lot of people would be like, yeah, what are he lasered that crowd or whatever? Yeah. But he never killed a dog. He also didn't laser the crowd.

No, you imagined laser in the crowd. He punched his son. He did punch his son a bunch, but his son survived that. Yeah. Yeah, it might be that. Yeah. television.

No, I can't. Maybe he's going to slime everyone. Do you think? Yeah. Great. I should have said, I don't know, because that's when you get slumped. Oh, okay. Yeah, that is true, actually, yeah.

Well, Mason, I've been listening to an indie band duo. Do you know what I've been up to? No. Yeah, stay out of my business. I don't want you. Good. I am. I would rather stay out of business.

I actually want you to know. I share my calendar with you, but you've yet to accept it. But they're called Dacey and their Australian indie band duo. It's Ruby and Jack together, the brother and sister tame. Is this sponsored content? This is sponsored. No, it's not, should it be? Maybe.

You think you get a few bucks out of them? Yeah, maybe I just saw them in an event, and I thought it's worth shouting out. Okay. So, they're on Spotify, Apple, it's D-A-C-Y. Okay. So it's Dacey Ban on Instagram, Spotify, Apple, Music, YouTube. I know, it's just, I don't listen to enough music. I don't talk about music enough.

I don't know anything about music. So, well, that's not true. I'm actually an expert in the field, so I think this counts for something. You call yourself a new Mozart. I do it all. You call yourself most art? Yeah, I'm mostly art. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, yeah, again, I don't know. It's Australian musicians. I think it's worth checking out. They've got some gigs coming up. There's one at like transport. Oh, no, that might be know. Ice house. An Australian band?

That's an Australian band. They're playing at the Wolf of Windsor on Chapel Street. John Farnham? That's an Australian band. I'm trying to do some gig dates, Mason, for this non-sponsored content. Feels sponsored. 30th of May. Am I getting a piece of this?

I mean, if any of the money comes through. I'll reach out to them after this. Okay. If they want to retroactively make this a sponsored post. Okay. Then, yeah. 31st of May and 14th of June of the Wolf Windsor. But yeah, it was just a really, like, just incredibly talented.

I'm getting five grand out of this. This is great. Again, Dacey Band on Instagram, but you can follow Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube music. That's, yeah, they're really cool. I'm going to watch Colin from accounts this week. I haven't watched it at all. I said I'd talk about this last week as well I read a short novel

Short Stay in Hell by Stephen Allen Heck Yeah a lot of people also are fans listeners of the show It's terrific and harrowing So the synopsis is Mormon manned his sentence to a hell In the form of a library until he finds the book detailing his life among the infinite Mostly gibberish books to escape

So yeah he's in this Maybe seemingly infinite library where Again he's start in the middle Yeah And if it mostly seems It seems like most of your story's there, you go to the right. And then? And if it's too much of your story, you move to the left.

Okay. And you just do that repeatedly. Back and forth. Zigzag. You do back and forth. Yeah. It's the same way you find what you're looking for on surveillance footage. Oh, okay.

Back and forth, back and forth. Okay. Right? If your car's missing, you go to the midpoint, and if your car's missing already, you go back. Yeah. But if it's still there, you go forward, right? And then?

Well, then if it's still there. Yeah. You go forward. But if it's gone, you go back. Yeah. And you do it. You ping pong it. Yeah.

Zigzag. Yeah. You zigzag. Okay, cool. And you haven't found your car yet is what you're saying. No, absolutely. No. It's always there.

So. Oh, great. Yeah. So what's interesting is the character in this, he's 45 years old. Uh-huh. But then he's put in what could potentially be, you know, not to spoil it, depending if you ever find his book. And existence longer than the age of the universe.

Ah. It's kind of, it's, it's hard to comprehend kind of the scale of not only of like where he is, but also like the time. Yeah, right, right. Like this, it's, because it is about like existence and time and relationships. It's really like haunting and just like, because the idea of like, of an eternal existence, what does that look like, you know, hopefully not this? Yeah, agreed.

But yeah, maybe listening to a good band potentially. Mason. But not for free. No, not for free. Yeah. Yeah. God. So yeah. Anyway, I would recommend that book if you are interested.

Anything else? Are you looking to your Spotify? You're looking at music? I think you can out music me? No. I'll like music to you, if anything. Fine, good. I'd rather you did.

You'd rather I didn't. No, that's it. Great. Let's move to the next segment. Okay. What is it? It's what we're going to read. No, it's not.

Yes, it is. It's letters. It's letters. You don't have the theme song ready? I'll get the theme song ready. Okay. Here it is. That's even worse that you didn't know.

The classic one was, letter, some letters. What happened there is you looked at the corner of the room and your eyes went wide as if you were seeing something horrifying. Yeah, your glasses, mate. And your over-ear old-man headphones. Come on, man.

Come on, man. Where do you get those? The over-y-old-man headphones store for guys who are afraid that the headphones are going to fall off? Yeah. They do a roaring trade. I bet they do for you. Yeah. Yeah.

And if you buy 10 pairs, which I do, because I'm so afraid I'll lose that. What's that worth? And you're worried they get tangled up in your pocket and you're like, ugh. That's what I want. That's what I want. And I can go, ugh. You're a dumbass. You are.

Thanks. If you do want to reach the show, you can, it's easy. It is easy. It's easy. If you go to weekly planet pod at gmail.com to send an email. You don't go there. You send an email there. That's so true, isn't it?

And in the Planet Broadcasting Greatmates's group, there is a threat every week. And if you go to the stupid old man store where you buy white. wide headphones because you're afraid you'll lose your headphones because you're super old man. They've got a little terminal there. They've got an internet cafe attached. Great. So you can send an email from there if you want. This is fantastic work and we all know it. Agreed. He's an email from Nathan.

Nathan. Hello boys. Hey Nathan. I recently had surgery and in my post-surgery drug-induced haze. Oh, must be nice. I decided to watch the original Highlander. Oh, that's good movie. Absolutely unhinged film and now has become an all-time classic for me. Knowing very little about the film, I was quite surprised to see that Queen did the music for the film.

The Queen didn't do the music. They did. The Queen. Oh, no, not the Queen. Really? The Queen of England? The Band Queen. This is a sponsored post. Oh, okay.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're a fan of the movie? They're giving us 50 bucks. I don't, say. Am I a fan of the movie Highlander? No, you fan of the movie. No, the Queen movie. Bohemian Rhapsody.

No. Have you said it? No. Then you can't say that. Yeah, that's true, isn't it? Even though a notoriously terrible movie. If you could choose one modern band or music artist to provide music for the upcoming Highlander reboot, who would you choose and why?

Because that's not a, yeah. The darkness? That could, Good work. Queen adjacent, I feel like. Yeah, okay, yeah, all right, I like the sound of that. I like that Justin Hawkins. Sure.

It's quite a character, like him. Do you like Johnny Depp's band? No. So this is not... Johnny Depp's big old barrel of rum, I believe it's called. Wow, that's great. I don't know what it's called. It's Johnny Depp's Too Many Scarves.

It's Johnny Depp and the Too Many Scars. There's no such thing. No, it's what this band is called. No. All right, then. Yeah, that's a good question. Who does a good... James Gunn would have an answer.

He'd be like whoever did the last Peacemaker's Season 2. Oh, yeah, okay. Whatever they're called. Foxy Shazam. That's right. Yeah. I don't know, because bands don't really do full soundtracks anymore. No, they might do a soundtrack like Tron 3.

Yeah. But it's not... You're talking to soundtrack or is it... So Queen did the soundtrack so they didn't do... There's no vocals in it? No, the songs. The most famous song is Princess of the Universe, which does have...

Princess of the universe. you guys? Yes. We should do a comedy. They also did the Flash Gordon soundtrack. Flash Gordon. Exactly. We should do a Highlander movie comedy.

Yeah, yeah. I'm saying that in ages and I think I would enjoy it. Hmm. Yeah. But I'm saying, do you need like, and do you want an 80th thing? We're just doing whatever. Just get Duff Punk again. Sure.

Or get 9 inch nails to do an impression of Daff Punk. Duff Punk don't even do that anymore. Yeah, I know, right? Yeah. I think the darkness might be a good, might be a good call on that. I even still do it? The darkness. Yeah, they were here recently.

Okay. Yeah. Do you think some 41 could do it? it? Yeah. Yeah. Euro Trip 2. Derek Quibbley from some 41. Okay. I think Derek Quibbley. Let's get Derek Quibbley on it. Let's get Derek Quibbley on it.

Derek Quibley. Quibley. Quibley. No. Derek Quibley down under. No. Okay. All right. All right then. Good. Settled.

I need to know more about music. No. Cameron says, do you think the end of Oak Street is a secret Cloverfield sequel? So the end of Oak Street, there was a trailer recently. It's about what if a family in their street got, got, taking the dinosaur time. JJ Ames produced it Yes Great director and director jail It's been almost 10 years since the last one

And we're officially in nostalgia time I hope it's not that It can just be a movie I would love that Because it's too late Cloverfield was going to be There were going to be sequels And then there wasn't

And then they're like actually These are standalone sci-fi horror movies Yes And then they're like just kidding These are all connected But not really But in a bad way So just drop it

What was the you could also just slap that on the end of this easy if you wanted to what was the time gap between unbreakable and split oh my god both set in the unbreakable 15 years 15 years okay yeah that was 2000 but that's that is that is something an m night shaman would do it's not something at j j abrams do 16 years he wouldn't wait 15 years and then go surprise this is clofield you all

remember he wouldn't wait 15 years right because the the the the shaman on heads would be like, yes, we've been waiting for this. Yeah. But the Judge Abrams heads, they don't exist. God, I wish I had powers where I was a muscular man. I could do a dog run like James McAvoy. Right. Yeah.

Anyway, I hope it's not that, but I guess it's been just at the end, they're like Cloverfield. But it's definitely, we're definitely seeing dinosaurs. Oh, yeah. So it's, it's. And there is time dilation in the Cloverfield universe. Yeah, right. But we're not seeing in that trailer, there's no hint of like, they're unusual dinosaurs. They're like standard-issue dinosaurs.

Yeah, then I think it's just, yeah. Make it that way you will. They could have been shifted into a dinosaur dimension, though. That's true. It might not necessarily be a ton of thing. I mean, there might be a slusho or something. Oh. We might see the appearance of a can of slusho or something, you know.

Might see Matthew Fox. Yeah. Fred Flintstone might be. You might see Fred Flintstone. Wilma Flintstone might be there. You might see those two. Barney Rubble might be there. Okay.

Betty Rubble might be there. Okay. Mr. Rock's boss or whatever. Sure. The Pollock and the time. A toilet might be there. The pelican that you can shit in. That's right.

And he might say, well, maybe you think you eat feces. Well, I do. I didn't say that. That's what the pelican says. No, I know. If he's looking at me and be like, maybe you think you do this. And I don't do that. I say, I don't do that actually.

And he doesn't believe you. He's shaking his head like, no, I know you do. Because we all do. We don't. Okay, man. if that's what you want to believe. You have shit in your mouth. You can't talk to me like that.

Basically another letter? I could find another letter, sure. Sure. Okay. You haven't? I'm just thinking of another Flintstone-based guy who could be there. But I don't remember anyone...

He's boss, whatever he's name is. Yeah, Mr. Rock's boss or whatever. I don't know. Dino the dinosaur. Dino the dinosaur could be. Pebbles. Gazzoo could be there. Bezoo.

Bam, bam. Bam, bam, Captain Caveman. Was he part of that universe? Yeah, sort of before he was on TV, I don't know. The Jetsons would visit. Well, if he was on TV, you'd have to be part of that universe because he'd be in the TV. He'd be within the TV.

No, I think the TV... Big Stone TV? I think the TV TV... Huh. Yeah. Well, that's a continuity era. I will not... How do TVs work? Wait.

Yes. In the Flitstones. You're going to get a garbage answer. The people... It's on Reddit. Yeah? Through animal technology, where... small cartoon creatures inside the set

create the picture of sound rather than electricity. Birds or lizards actors, artists rapidly chiseling images under stone tablets, that's right. Wow. That doesn't make any sense. How many stone tablets you've gotten there? Yeah.

Who's making the stone tablets? More animals? Who's bringing the messages to the birds? Who's bringing the scripts on tablets? Yeah. Wouldn't it be quicker to walk than other being a big stone car and using your feet is all obscane, Mason?

Unforgivable continuity error. That doesn't make any sense to me. Right. And that pallor has got sheds. shit in its mouth. I don't even think it's a toilet. This is the unitchfitt at the end of the episode that was foretold.

Unless this is just the preview. Maybe it gets worse, I don't know. Alex emailed in, Hi guys, I keep getting ads for a film called Kangaroo Island. The ads claim five stars, and you don't want to miss it. I've seen ads for Kangaroo Island about 20 times so I finally looked it up.

Still not really sure what this is about, but thought maybe you could explain it to me or at least share your thoughts on the real place called Kangaroo Island. Do people travel there? Is it exclusively for kangaroos? Please help. It's a wildlife island. It's kind of like a conservation. Okay, but what's this movie? He said movie? It's not a movie.

I keep getting ads for a film called Kangaroo Island. Okay, there wasn't a kangaroo island movie. No, there wasn't. It's got Rebecca Breeds and Eric Thomas in it. Eric Tom Thomas. I love that guy. It's on Netflix. A struggling Hollywood actress returns home to Kangaroo Island where she must confront the messy love triangle and deep-seated secrets that originally tore a family apart.

Oh, secrets in a small town called Kangaroo Island. Oh, hi, I'm an Australian comedy drama. Hello. Little town's got secrets. What do you think about that? Received four nominations for the film critics. I've never heard of this. Wow, it says it's in the slap universe

and the slappers kind of come and slap them all. Dude, that guy needs to stop slapping people. I think you should slap more people. Yeah, probably. Apparently it's all right. People seem to enjoy it. I don't know, man. But no.

Where are you getting ads for this? Yeah. It came out last year. I've never heard of this. So this is an Australian film. It's not just a film set in Australia. No. Okay.

Well, then. No. No. Absolutely true. No. Absolutely true. No. I've got a letter here from James. Says, have you been watching Mall Shadow Lord with your kids?

No. No. Also, no. My son is playing all the Arkham games. He doesn't have time for this. Sure. And I wouldn't show this to my daughter because she hasn't seen Star Wars and she'd be like, what the fuck is this?

I think that this is some of the finest work that Star Wars has done. not only Sam Witwer, the voice of Moore, doing absolutely brilliantly, but the supporting cast is fascinating as well. I've heard nothing but good things. And I also started it and it was like a minute. Then I was like, I can't do this right now. And then I turn it off. So just when I opened Disney Plus, it's like, do you want to watch? More, Mall, Shadow Lord?

And I'm like, no, I want to watch the show, fear or whatever it's called with the from loss. From, yeah, a show I enjoy. What's the deal with From again? They're on a, it's like lost except it's, they're in a much. shitty a place. But he was on Lost. I know. Wow.

He's got that kind of life. Is he like, oh no, not this again? And old time... Not this again. The situation that I'm in. Old time if people come out at night

and they come to your door and they're like, let us in. We're not monsters. And you're like, I know you're like, we're like, we got us, we are. And they'll bite you,

if you let him in. It's very bloody. It should be called bite you. Bite you. By you later. Nice. Yeah. Anyway,

I like this show from. But also, yeah, more shadow Lord is supposed to be very good. Even though they keep bringing that guy back, even though he's dead and he's died multiple times. I saw a brief clip of it and he's back, but he was all like, ooh, my robo legs hurt. Why? I don't know. They were sparking and stuff.

I guess they would be. Mm-hmm, yeah. Should you move to another letter? I'll move to one more letter. Yep. This is from Alistair. Hello, men. Hi.

That's us. Hello, Alistair. My son and I are keen to do a Dune's Day double bill in December, but can't decide on what order to watch them. First one, second one. Okay. Nailed it. Goodbye, Alastair. Yeah, man.

The argument for Dune 3, then Doomsday is maybe the MCU is a lighter experience to end on, and Dune will be heavy. Oh, I was thinking it was just Dune. It was not much for Dune movies. Oh, yeah, watch them in the order that came out, I think, yeah. But then June 3 is a better guarantee of quality, so do you start with bigger dice roll and get Domsday out of the way confident you'll end on a high? What are you going to do? I will probably take my son out of school if they're still a school and take him to Avengers. Yeah, Avengers.

Unless I go to the... I might actually... I don't normally, but if I get a... If I'm still on the Disney premiere list, I'll go to that. But I keep knocking back every invite. I got an email from Sony the other day. It's like, do you still want to come to our movies?

And I'm like, yes. And by yes, I mean just Spider-Man. Right? I think Doomsday first. Yeah, okay. Not for these reasons, but I think because Doomsday will be spoiled the instant it comes out. True.

Whatever it is, whatever... Whatever spoilers are to be. had from this movie that haven't already been spoiled by the Marvel marketing department and all these scoopers that have just given us the plot of this movie. That'll all be out immediately and it doesn't matter what you, what social media apps you do or do not look at, someone will show you a spoiler for it. Yeah, absolutely. Or you just get pushed a notification that's just like Chris Evans is back. Chris Evans. And he's blue. His skin's blue. Picked up Thorne. Used him as Thor's Hammer. Captain America says he ate too many bluebirds.

is traveling through time and he turned blue. Captain America, you idiot. Yeah, exactly. Don't do that. Rookie mistake, coming through time eating too many blueberries. They're not even blue, they're purple. Exactly. What did you even?

You did something else. Yeah, you did something else. You ate one of those blue urinal cakes. Did you drink toilet duck? Did you? Captain? Captain. You're not even Captain America or even.

Can you even, can you even? It would just be captain, I guess, wouldn't he? He's still a captain. I think he's nomad now. Yeah. Great. Yeah. But yeah, but,

But June, you know what's going to happen. Yeah. I mean, it's, it's in, unless there's some wild twist. Yeah. It's probably going to play out like... June 3. June 3. June 3.

June 3 is coming up, actually. It's right after June 2nd. Mason. Guess. I got a letter. Go on. Coy says, can you recount all the times you both smuggled food into cinemas?

I never even realized you weren't supposed to do it as a kid because my mom was just like, we don't buy cinema food. Right. I bring in rustley pack of. of things. I conversely was not aware that nobody cared. Nobody cares. I think,

I guess my whole, unless you're eating spaghetti off the floor. My whole life well into adulthood, I'm like, oh no, they're going to bring any food and they're going to get mad at me. The teenager is going to,

teenagers are going to come in and be like, don't do that. I'll have to be left to leave in shame. I'll have to hand my, my supermarket purchased M&Ms back to them and they'll pour them into the bin in front of me. And everyone will point in laugh. Yeah, probably.

That only happened one time. But they don't care. As long as it's not hot food, they don't care. And unless you're not bothering other people, then they get paid enough to deal with that. But again, like, I didn't know. I just assumed that, like, you could just do it. Right.

Which is just my attitude now because I still do it. Yeah. Yeah. But I'll bring snacks from home. Protein chips. Sure. Okay. Yeah.

Protein chocolate peanut butter cups. Sure. A can of Coke from home. Oh, protein Coke. Et cetera. But if I'm with my kids, I'll get them an ice cream and a popcorn. Wow. So, you know.

Which is expensive. It's expensive. Yeah. It's undenny. And then they're like, can we get this weird popcorn bucket? And I'm like, never, because you're never going to look at it again. You don't even remember the movie Hoppers. I'm not getting you the lizard cup from hoppers.

Yeah. But maybe if they got the lizard cup, every day they'd look at the lizard cup on their shelf and they'd go, ah. My fondest memory, the movie hoppers. That's right. Yeah. Well, I'd rather than have another fond memory, preferably with millions. Of you, of you turning down their request for a popcorn bucket. I'll say that.

That is a good memory. I'll say that. Just, no. Put that back. Put that back and get in the chocolate. Daytona machine. We're going to form some precious memories. I'm going to beat you at Daytona. Get it in. I am going to beat them at Daytona. For a while. Then the students will become the masters. No, not me, man. It's like when I was a teacher. And then you'll have to ask

them if you're allowed to use the Daytona machine. No student when I were taught, no student will ever get smarter than me in their entire life. I made sure of it. You can do it. Yeah. All right. Is that the show? That is the whole show, Jones. Fantastic. It is fantastic. We did some Flintstone stuff earlier. It's so true, isn't it? A show that people remember. Not funny also as a show. Did, is there, was there any movement recently on the proposed Jetson's live action movie?

Oh my God. Which proposed to have Jim Carrey in it or something? Was that a fake thing? You, you, you put it to me as news and I was like, surely that's fake. And then you showed me a real news article. AI is telling me, which I know you love. Colin Trevorrow. is going to direct it.

Oh, did we get a trailer for Ray Gun? Did we? I think we might have it. I don't think so. I missed it. We got some, maybe we got some promotional stills for Ray Gunn. Oh, I've seen the promotional stills.

Yeah, that's probably what I'm thinking of. I'm getting that woman who breakdamped. Oh, yeah, Ray Gunn. I don't think that's what I'm looking for though. But Jim Carrey's got, she can put to death in Australia. They executed her. They brought it back just for her.

Sure. Oh, yeah, this came out two weeks ago. Yeah. I didn't look at this at all. The trailer or just the promo? It's going to Netflix. This is, what's his name? Brad Bird.

Brad Bird's next movie. I thought, because it's not a Pixar one. Yeah. It's a Netflix one. Wow. We're going to watch it now or no? The trailer. Yeah.

Let's do it next week or never. Yeah. Jim Carrey is potentially starring according to AI. God, potentially. And also John Campier. Great. Let's move on to the end of the show. Let's move on to the end.
