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. Sunday. Nick Mason's here. It's great to be here. That almost turned into a musical. Did you think about it? No. You know those two moments and Ghostbuses when it's almost going to be a musical?

It must be fate. It must be whatever. Yeah, exactly. And then it's just the movie Ghostbusters and then a series of terrible sequels. Correct, yes. And that's history. That is history. You can learn things here.

That's the history of movies. Is it? Yeah. That's great. Magical. Indeed. A little movie. Movie Magic and that's what we like over here.

We like going to the theatre. We like drinking in the atmosphere, but sometimes we like... What's on Disney Plus? Look at at the telly and then the punishers there. And we go, oh yeah. Isn't this the Punisher? Yes. Is it though?

When's the Punisher going to get here? Is he going to get a haircut at the end? Is this dirty hoodie man? My favourite superhero? Rocking that filthy casual wear? Yes, it is. He might just be. So yeah, you're of course talking about the Punisher

One Last Kill, the latest Marvel One Shot on Disney Plus, which we'll be talking about this week. But it would be remiss of me not to say that there is news in the lead up to that. Not related to that specifically. The news is unrelated, but it is entertainment industry stuff. Some of it might be related. Yeah, let's find out.

We're going to talk a little bit about the Mandalorian versus Groglet opening next week and how that's looking. Big movie. Maybe. Maybe big movie. Maybe major disappointment. We're going to talk... Box office wise.

Probably. Alert. Bamp. Bamp. Bamp. Well, uh, Then we're going to talk about a season two release date of Asoka, which I think was your favorite.

Speak carefully. Speak carefully. No, James. Rosario Dawson, Disney Plus Star Wars live action series? Wrong. It's when they put clerks too on there and they talk briefly about Star Wars in it, probably. Oh, okay.

She's in that. She is in that. That's my favorite. And then Osokar distant second. Of our distant? Very, 12 parsecs. Wow. That's a lot, maybe.

That's a long distance, I think. I think. Yeah. Or a long amount of time. Or a short amount of time? Yeah, we don't know. Yeah. We're also going to talk about He-Man's opening numbers.

Master of the Universe, but opening numbers. It's not looking... It's not looking great. Why would it? I don't know. Why would anything be good? What is the average age of people that enjoyed He-Man as children? It's like late 40s.

Late. Dead. Dead men. Those first run, it would be 50-year-old dead man. Yeah. When I got into He-Man, it was over. Like, that's how old He-Man was. Yeah.

God. So, yeah, no surprise at all that it's not going to do well. Well, speaking of. And it's woke now. And it's woke now. It's woke-h-H-Man. It's woke and gay and woke. We're also going to talk about the release of the Voltron live-action movie.

Straight to streaming. It doesn't bode well. Yep. We're going to talk about some fast and furious spin-off TV shows. There's four apparently in the works. Wow. Yeah. Is that why Vin Diesel was so choked up recently on that video?

Because it was like this. It's four streaming. streaming shows. Let me, can I ask, and look, this is just a general question. What's, what's with it? What's going on? What do you mean? What, what, what, what's his deal? What do you mean? And how do you think that I could, how do you think that I could possibly

succinctly summarize what's going with Vin Diesel with the time we have? Which is no more than two hours. I don't have, we don't have the time. Okay. So you don't know. No. Yeah. I think he's just like, I think he's a genuinely, like he's genuinely, like he's genuinely interested in the craft of acting, but he does. He doesn't have the stereotypical look or vibe of somebody who's like that. So he wants to build and create.

Yeah. Because he likes Dungeons and dragons and sci-fi or whatever because of like, well, he did the last witch hunter, which is maybe getting a sequel. Maybe. With his dad, Michael Kane. We didn't have time to get into it. And also there's another Riddick happening. Yeah.

But I think he, but he's got the look of a guy who fixes cars or whatever. A greasy man. A greasy man. A greasy cars. Do you think that's why they've gone more sci-fi and because? Because of his love of fantasy. I mean, not even fantasy, but I think maybe he's just like, I'm putting in ideas. Because he's sort of been the forefront of the success of this franchise.

They're like, we better do his big ideas, I guess. But he doesn't, like, I think maybe that is it because casting people probably looked at it before, you know, pre-fame and even significantly post-fame. They probably looked at him, nice, and they went, got to pay that rent. They probably looked at him and went, yeah, he's a dumb. guy. He's a dumb, put him in, put him in dumb guy. Vinnie, you're a dumb guy. That's right. You're at Vinny, you're a dumb guy. I was in Savi Private Ryan. Yeah, as a dumb guy. And we love you for it, Vin Diesel. Also, probably don't make your stage name Vin Diesel. If you want to be cast in. What is his real name? Vin, acting. Vin, Shakespearean, holding up a skull. It's Vin

finest acting. It's Marks in Claire Vincent. There it is. Now that's an actor's name. Right? Yeah. None of that is diesel. No. So this is partly, partly it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's his cross to bear and it's, you know, partly him. It's his giant. He's died crucifix.

Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. All right. Well, that's good. You gave me, you said you couldn't break it down succinctly, but actually you have. Yeah, I was underpropos. He's always on Facebook Live or whatever, isn't he? Yeah.

Who are? Uh, who are. Uh, uh, Westworld is back. No, it's not. Yeah, maybe. As a, as a reboot movie or something? I'll get to it. You don't need to tell me.

the news. I'm doing the news over here. All right. I mean, you needed somebody to succinctly summarize Mr. Sinclair Diesel. That's psychological evaluation. That's different. That is different. That is different. That is different. I do have a degree in

psychological evaluation, not movies. What's his name? Matthew Sinclair Vincent? Michael Sinclair. Mark Sinclair Vincent. Yeah. All right. And then of course we've got some, not of course, but we have some Lantons news. Of course. About the new Lantons TV show.

But of course. When's that out? I'm going to end the date for that. Soon. I think it's August. Big Brown TV show. Everything's big and brown. Everything is big and brown.

Big alert for that. So, uh, the time goes below. Rob Collings who edits this. He does the time codes and we love him for it. He does a primo job. I was speaking of, uh,

if you go to Big Sandwich.com this week or Patreon.com slash Mr. Sunnet movies where it's all there, Mason now. It's all there. Everything. This week's bonus thing. I think people might get a real. kick out of it potentially Mason. It's a Masters of the Universe

video game playthro the He-Man video game. So we do four in total over the decades. From various years, yeah. And various adaptations of He-Man. And various quality levels. And various quality levels, mostly bad.

But there's some interesting stuff in there. If you are interested, Fidel has edited that. Oh, great. Also, next week we're doing Spider-Man Life Story as a comic book club, which is also going to be a video which Sarabi is putting together. I'd forgotten, but Collings reminded me,

we've done that. We did it in like 2021. Did we? Yeah. I have no memory. I mean, I had a baby and it was COVID. Okay.

I don't know. I've forgotten. Huh. Anyway, this one's apparently better. All right. Let's delete the old ones. I agree. Yeah.

All right. Let's get a notice. Whoops. First time we've done this? Probably not. Give us a break. Yeah, give us a break. We're giving you a break.

Yeah, that's right. Yeah. I'm busy thinking about what Vin Diesel's up to and why his brain is the way. is the way that it is and it's ruined my brain. It's not my fault. It's Vin Diesel's fault. Vin Diesel is responsible.

I should sue Vin Diesel. I agree. Mark Vincent Diesel or whatever's name of it. Mark Vincent. Castle. Yeah. Mark... Sinclair?

Mark Sinclair? Mark Sinclair Vincent. Okay. The Mandalorian versus Groglet is out this week. It's tracking... It's a mandala... What is it actually called? What you said?

The Mandalorian and... Grosgu, James. It's tracking to be the least successful Star Wars opening of like, other than the Clone Wars movie. Do you feel any sense of regret that you didn't come up with a funny name for the Mandalorian as well? No. Okay.

I think it's funny because people have been using this in the real world. That's true, yeah. So it's, uh, yeah, it's going, it's tracking below Star Wars. Also, Groglet is just as bad a name as Goroos. That's my point. Yeah. So like, that's why it's so convincing and believable. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Go into the world and use this place, everybody. Go to the movie theater and instead of purchasing on your phone, say hello, teenage boy at the counter. I'm normal and you're normal. We're both normal men. Could you give me one ticket? One ticket. Because I am here alone. Next to whoever you'd like.

That's right. But definitely next to someone for the Mandalorian versus groglet. And film it. Don't do any of this. Don't do any of this. Don't prank anybody in public. It's awful. Stop it.

Just stop it. So solo a Star Wars story opened at $104 million. That was over four days. Sounds pretty big. And that was bad. Yeah. So this is closer to 80, maybe 90. Well, that's bad.

If the thing you said was bad, this is even bad. I think this is late also. This should have been like three years ago instead of season three probably. Yeah. And it would have had Groglett and the Mandalorian reuniting for their battle that they're going to do. Yeah. But they already reunited in Book of Bobafet. Yeah.

Not to get ahead of myself, but I think this is going to be fine. I'm taking at least one of my kids to see it and I think they're going to really like it probably and it's got a big muscular jab of the hut who's not really jab at the hut it's his son rot of the hut that's real stinky as he was in the Clone Wars movie if you've seen that I haven't

Yes you have a video on it. Terrific. Did we do a video on it? Terrific. Did we do a video on it? Terrific, didn't see it. Yeah, I'm setting my expectations very low for this. Yeah. If I'm honest. I think the bit the probably...

TBH? TBH. I think that honestly the bit where Grog Groglitz in his little baby carriage and he's making it fly and then the mandolary is also flying and they're flying around. That feels like that's going to be the peak of the movie. Wow. Like that's going to be the best scene.

Yeah, and it doesn't look good. What about when Groglet goes, I love you, big Pedro Pascal? Do you think that could be the best part of the movie? I love you, Big Pedro. Big P.

I think that would be good too. Yeah. Apparently he doesn't talk, but I don't know. I think he's going to say something. Maybe, maybe like when Maggie said, Daddy or whatever. Maggie said Luke Skywalker. I was trained by Luke Skywalker, she said. You'd have to put, you'd have to be an actor or somebody who's connected to the franchise,

who's very notable. Do you get, if George Lucas came back and he was the voice of Grover. It'll probably just be Dave Filoni though, really. It'll be Dave Filoni or John Favre or Kathleen Kennedy or Brie Larson. Or a chorus of them all together. altogether, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Or maybe they'll get like a, like a Frank Oz. Frank Oz, I mean, because it was Yoda, but I don't know whether you wouldn't,

like maybe you'd get son of Frank Oz. Sure, Hank Oz. Yeah, Hank Oz, Hank Az, I think his name is. Yeah, he's a voice actor too. He is, that's right, he's in The Simpsons and other things. Yeah, I think it'd have to be Frank Oz, right? But then he has to come up with a voice that isn't just, Oh, I'm Groku, you know?

Yeah. Hello, I'm Grogu. How I'm Grogo. Yeah. I'm from Space Australia. I'm from where Ben Mendelssohn is from. Star Wars, Star Wars.

Yeah, God. He's also in Star Wars. He is in Star Wars. That's why I said Star Wars, Ben Mendelssohn. You can call me grog's. You could say. Yeah, God. All right.

Anyway. In Australia grog is all we could. I mean, that's a pirate thing. Why is it? Oh, yeah, it is a pirate thing. Why is it that we call it grog in Australia? Do we though even anymore? No, we don't.

But why did we ever? I don't know. When you go to the, nobody says grog shop. They say bottle shop. No, I don't even know. They used to say grog shop. Did that? Okay.

But why did a pirate term? You used to say I'm going to the bog shop, which was a public toilet. That's not true. Nobody said that. You said that. I said it. I was trying to start a trend. It didn't work.

Why did it? Why was it a pirate term? And then it disappeared for 400 years. And then it came back in Australia in the 80s. Let's get some grog. Let's go to the grog shop. I don't know. Is it our colony roots or whatever?

Potentially. Look, I know your area is psychological evaluation. Oh, Vendezel specifically. Yeah, and mine is movie news. Yes. So I don't think either of us are qualified to come up with a... Any grog experts out there? Yeah.

And not grog who experts. We've got plenty of those. We're right here. Yeah, I'm just writing, why is it called Grog Shop and see what Google AI does? Okay, terrific. Yeah, it's a British thing maybe. No, that was the grog part. Mm.

Yeah. We'll never know. It was... I don't know. This is terrible. It's just terrible AI shit. Yeah. Anyway.

Yeah. Anyway, but a grog derives from the rum nickname Old Grog. It's got some old grog. Sure. I'd like some new Grog, please. Anyway, Assoca season two finally has a release date of early 2027. Come on, man. You're shaking your head in a way that says, I can't wait.

I'm, you've misinterpreted that. I'm shaking my head to say, I can't. And I won't. Asoka season, too, come on. Yeah. The dullest, just a dull, mid-gray color. board show. Absolutely not.

I will not. Or even a lightsaber's a grey. What are you doing? Let me ask you this. Yes. When did the first season come out? 22. 23.

August of 2020. So this is like a four bit less... That's too long. It is way too long. Not great show. This isn't severance, which people barely remembered and luckily came back and was really good.

You can't be doing this. Did it end with the space whales? It ended with... Ezra came back to planet Earth or Corrassant or whatever. Okay. Because he was away with the space whales. And Dorn went, this was my plan. I'm here, you know.

I'm from the books. And some people stayed on that planet. Terrific. They've recast Baylon Scrawl or whatever. Not Baylon Scrawl. He died. He died, unfortunately. But no, I'd.

But apparently Anakin Skywalker's going to be in it more and maybe over. Wow. Wow. Wow. And you love seeing Anakin Skywalker. And David Tennant plays that robot. Anyway, early next year, terrific. Couldn't come fast enough.

Agreed. It's actually come too slow, like you said. Yeah. Should have come two? Ten years. Ten years ago. Season two should have arrived in 2016. And then season one in 2020, as you said.

Wow. How do we get here? Oh, this is our. I hope they do something more interesting with Thrawn. I hope they do something. Yeah, something good and fun. Look, maybe they'll turn it around. If I hear reports, they're like, they've turned it around,

and it isn't just two people. standing like five feet apart talking back and forth. Yeah. It's not just that. Talking about the mysteries of the force. For eight hours. Yeah. Maybe I'll watch it.

What about the mysteries of the force? I get it. I don't think there's enough mysteries. I bet it. Lifting rocks doing a flip. Yeah. Doing a mind thing. I get it.

It's a number de Clorance. It's a different thing. Yeah. They'll say. They'll say. Yeah. It's a thing that everyone's happy with. It's a middle ground, is it?

Yeah, it's a middle ground. Good, the middle chlorine ground. Yeah. You're Jared Lido fan? You're a lethead? No. You're a Tomean? No.

You wouldn't consider yourself any of those things? No. Okay. Because they've got some masters of the universe box office numbers. And I say Jared Lido, because you might not know this from all the publicity, but he is in it. There's no way you could know. They're actively avoiding putting any clues in the trailer that he's in it. That he is Skeletor.

And he's doing a skeleton, skeletor. Could he could have gotten anybody. Yeah. You could still change it. Oh, maybe not now. Angel is still alive? I think he is. Could have got Frank Langela.

What do you know about the, what is it? The loneliness of good is of the equal of the loneliness of evil he, ma'am? Oh yeah. Just came up with that, yeah. Bad movie. Not good. Does have a laser whip in, which we love. Yeah.

Anyway, box office theory came out with some numbers and master of the universe is tracking to make 25 million in its US opening weekend. That sounds awful. Well, it's cost 170 million dollars. Not bad to put in the old Skyrocket, if you know what I mean. about 25 mil pop it in there, but I didn't spend all that money. $170,000, yeah. I didn't spend that money.

I don't know whether it's an Australian-specific thing, but there's a big push for it here, I feel, right? Is there? Yeah. Where are you saying, but maybe I'm getting targeted ads. I think you are getting targeted ads. I haven't said any of it. Yeah, okay.

But I've heard other people be like, mention it, like, two minutes. Oh, okay, right. So I don't know what that is. Or your 50-year-old friends. Oh, my 50-old dead. Yeah, I've gone to funerals, and they're like, hey, James, where the last one's left. Yeah, that's right.

I hope you enjoy this Master of the Universe themed funeral. I do, actually. Yeah. Oh, there's a laser whip. Yeah. Yes, please. Wow, our friend is being buried in Battlecat's saddle. They've made a big paper matche battle cat, and they've rested the body on the saddle, and

they slowly lower it into the earth. And then that's weird, because my friend hadn't even talked about it anymore since, but we all love it, so. We all love it. Yeah. Yeah, so again, $170 million. I feel like this is probably going to go the way of Tron Ares, which was bad. Also, Dungeons and Dragons 2020.

Yeah. Which also, I recently rewatched with my son. He'd never seen it. Do you like it? It's such a... No, he loved it. It's a great fucking movie. It's so good.

And it's gone forever. He's like, is there any more of this? I'm like, never. I'm like, there are other Dungeons and Dragons movies. And he's like, can we watch them? And I'm like, no. You can. Good luck.

You can. I won't. How about this, son? Choose your entertainment for the week. A good thing that you like? Or one of these sight hunt scene, one of the previous Dungeons and Dragons movies. pick one choose now god just devastating stuff

so yeah this is also of course directed by Travis Knight who did Bumblebee and Cuba on the Tury strings I don't if you've seen that it's a great stop motion animation thing I have not seen it yeah he also there's a he's got another stop motion movie Wildwood coming out later this year looks really really good which is similar in style to like Coraline which I think he maybe worked on

and you know that kind of thing it's gonna be as good as Ray Gunn the break dancer the break dancer yeah yeah probably as good as her This is a like-ya one. You know those movies, those amazing stop-motion movies that never make any money, but they're all really incredible. Yeah, terrific. Because they're 30 years too late.

Yeah. But also, like, as a sort of fan of Hey, man, this is really fun to me, right? Like, this is like, oh, it's Trapped Jaw, it's Mechanek. It's Triclops. His neck's longer than I could have ever imagined. How does it fit? Is there like just a shallow tunnel in his body, which the neck slides into? They moved all his organs to the sides.

Is it like, all of his organs? All of his orders it expand. I think he does both. Damn, mechanexia. Yeah. What a stupid thing. I love it. Sure.

Yeah. It's all there. Occo? Still not in the... Orco is, I think Occo is in it. Yeah, but he's not in the trailers. They're hiding Orco. He's their grogoo, I think.

Probably played by Jared Lotto again. Yeah, probably. It's why they hiding it. This needs $440 million to break even. It's not going to make that, is it? I mean, there is a possibility. No, there's not. That it's so good.

Sure. And just goes on a. bit of a run. Yeah, but we said that about Dungeons and Dragons, didn't go on a run. What did that make anyway in the end? Not enough. I'm interested to know that. I'm watching that.

I'm like, it's such a good movie. Really solidly constructed, good narrative. Everybody does a great job. Hugh Grant's, you know, sniveling and... $150 million. It made $208. That's actually more than I thought it weighed.

But it's still, that's not enough at all. And again, if that came out 20 years ago, it would have been made a ton on DVDs. Yeah. and what have you, but no chance for that. No chance for that. That's right. Such a good movie. I recommend everybody watch that if you haven't already.

You don't even have to like Dungeons and Dragons. I don't have to like Dungeons and Dragons. My son loved the opening scene with the Birdman. Oh yeah, right. He was like, he was like, this is ridiculous. Yeah, you don't have to know anything about it. You don't have to know what, you don't understand how the Dungeons and Dragons universe works. They'll tell you.

Well, you'll just see it unfold. Yeah. The bit with, what's the guy? Super handsome guy. Hugh Grant. No. No. Oh, yeah.

They're all super. answer me in the son I'd forgotten I thought the guy from a red Bridgeton Bridgeton guy yeah

you know the bit where he's leaving and they're like he's walking he's walking a long time yeah there's a rock in front of he's gonna

he's gonna walk around the rock no he's stepping over the rock yeah apparently I think that was improv or whatever they're working on they're gonna move coming like May Day oh yeah

I mean those the directors of that will have like a because they did game night right yeah and they've got something else coming up that's like a big property I think they're doing Star Trek, aren't they?

Oh, yeah, they do potential reboot. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Chris Pineless probably, though. But it's another reboot, it's another reboot, so it's not the, it's not the old timeline, it's not the new timeline, it's another timeline. I guess it's the future, I hope. Maybe, yeah. It's the future. All right, get over it.

Yeah, all right, Guy, it's the Star Trek universe in the future. I've been to the future. Go on. We're living it, aren't we? Yeah. Flying, no cars driving around by themselves. Traffic lights, it's crazy, I know there. Voltron.

You familiar? Oh, yeah. This is something of the family. Vehicle Voltron, is what we're talking about? Would it be funny if it was Vehicle Voltron? It would be funny if it was like Henry Cavill is Voltron. His vehicle Voltron. And it's just Henry Cavill and he's in a cardboard suit of Vehicle Voltron.

He's feet of cars. And he's running down the street in modern day. It's running. He's got that pointy hair that Vehicle Voltron has. He had a movie out this last week. Vehicle Voltron. No, in the grey. Gray guys.

Should we watch that next week? It looks good. We've got the Mandalorian Groglet and we've got. the boys finale. But we also want a toothless guy, Richie Phil. I don't want to watch a toothless guy Richie film. I do. I didn't watch the last one, but watch this one. What was the last one? I was going to say it's Operation of Fortune, but I think he made another one in between. Yeah. Yeah. He's making two a year.

Yeah. Great output. Yeah. Like volume wise. He's got to pay for that Madonna divorce, presumably. Totally. Yeah. Anyway, so the Volta and Live Action movie is in the works and Amazon are doing it, but apparently, as they revealed, last week that it's going to either debut on Prime Video or an add-on channel MGM Plus. Woof. That's brutal. Woof.

So this, again, Henry Cavill is in this. He plays The King or something. Sterling K. Brown is Zarkon. Okay. Love that. Henry Cavill can't catch a break. And by that, I mean, he's been in a lot of really big movies, but they all mostly fall out.

Yeah. When you say big movies, you mean movies are cost a lot of money. Yes, that's what I'm saying. Yeah. And he was Superman. And he is Superman again. Because he's not, again, he's one of those actors, I think, who's, they need to find the right role for him.

He'll be very good. It's too late for James Bond now. Too late for James Bond. I think he's a good Sherlock Holmes. He's too wide. I like wide Sherlock Holmes. Yeah. A knollah wide Sherlock Holmes.

Is that what it's called? That's what it's called. Did I see Anola Holmes too, Mason? Is that something you can speak to? No. Yeah, I haven't. I don't know if I have either. I have seen the first one.

I didn't mind it. Yeah. Yeah. So this is also directed by Rawson Marshall. Thurber. Oh, he did red notice. No, no, no, no. Red one?

He did Dodgeball. Okay. He did skyscraper. Uh-huh. He did Red Notice. That's what I'm saying. And he also did Red Notice 2 apparently. It's on his filmography.

Wow. Yeah. Looking forward to that. This is not, this is a kiss of death of Ultrod, even if it is good. Which makes, I think it's like a, I think it might be a re-boot new, like, it's not the same paladins or whatever. Set on Earth or something? Yeah, maybe.

They should do a sequel to the Netflix series and do Car Voltron because they hinted at the end of the last series. And do third Voltron that nobody remembers that I don't even remember but I'm pretty sure. Gladiator Voltron or whatever. Yeah, there's a Gladiator Voltron.

Yeah. God, I love Voltron. The Netflix TV series. Yeah, absolutely. And I loved Voltron as a kid. Yeah, I mean, I think, you know, the calculation here is probably, you know, if it gets people to stick.

They're looking at He-Man and they're like, yeah, yeah. Well, that and also they're like, if it gets people to stick around, on Amazon or MGM Plus. It gets a million people to stick around for another month. I guess it's paid for itself. That's right.

And that's more money than we get from it in cinemas, which is zero of money. Because everybody who loved it as a kid is 50 years old. Yeah, they're just gone, their form of entertainment is going to a funeral. Yeah. It's going to be, it's scheduled for 2027. But it wrapped filming in Australia in mid-20205. Okay. So I guess we'll see.

Well, we weren't invited, were we? I don't remember being invited to that. I definitely would have gone. We could have been like, go Voltron. Go, Voltron. Keep riding down the street. Henry Cavill, Vultron. Car Vultron.

You didn't get Henry Caval to practice. He's roller skating before this. You're just letting him do this. He's embarrassing himself. On untested roller skates? That's loose road he's on too. Freshly gravel road. On untested experimental roller skates that look like Ford Festivis.

What are you doing? Are you sure about this? You sure about this? We could have prevented that Yeah, that's right You could have been in the crowd You know I agree

You know I'm with him He's there, he's there running He's got to make his performance At the opera house Yeah, he does He's a pop star in this Oh, okay

He's a pop star called Voltron And he dresses his cars Okay, cool Yeah Great Yeah He dresses his cars Not all cars, you idiot

It's mostly cars It's a lot of cars Some are just bricks Just like brick Yeah There's like Brick Sea vehicles Yeah

Yeah There's a plane his chest and the head is a rocket maybe. Yeah. Yeah. I like the idea of it, but also I remember seeing that show as a kid, the vehicle one. And I'm like, there's like 19 of these fucking guys. Yeah.

I can't keep track of that. Or there's a land team, a sea team and an air team. What? What if you don't need the sea team? I don't. Or the land team. The air team covers most of it. The air team could do all of that.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah. I mean, you know, obviously the, like you said, the benefit of the Lion Bolteran is they're all distinctly lions where vehicle vault on there are just a lot of block guys, yeah. That's my least favorite kind of transformer as well. Like when they're just like,

yeah, he turns into a spaceship. Yeah. Oh, you just, just a... That can be anything, man. Yeah, just a rectangle, is it? Yeah. Okay. Come on, man. If I wanted a rectangle, I could just look at one.

Yeah, that's right. I could Google rectangle. Pictures of cool rectangles, I could Google. Safe search off. To get the good ones, you know. Absolutely. Deadline are reporting... No, this is AI pictures of cool rectangles.

Come on. Safe search off. God damn it. Deadline are reporting that there is a fast and furious spin-off TV show, four of them in the works. Wow. Yeah. So the plan is apparently, though,

because I think Vin Diesel mentioned this, but the plan is, like initially it was like, there's four. But the plan is for the streamer to evaluate each of the series before making decisions. So they'll roll out one. Roll out. And then they'll, if that goes...

well, which it won't, then they'll do two. And if that goes well, which it won't, they'll do three. And if that goes well, which it won't, they'll do four. And there's already an animated series where it's Dom Toreto's little brother or whatever. No, that's John Cena. Yeah. It's even little a brother or nephew or something. It's the James Bond Jr. situation.

It is, yes, that's right. It's that model of entertainment. Yeah. Which is a great show. Who's James Pond then? Is that he's like a fish that he owns? What? James Pond.

James Pond is unrelated? No, to James Bond, though. Unrelated? Unrelated? Yeah. Jane Pond was a British computer game I need to call And then he became Robocod

We've had this conversation Is that related? No So do we know anything about the plots of any of these? No Because it just sounds like four sort of disparate ideas That they're just going to throw at the wall That is correct

I also think that this is a thing That they're always doing for everything I think there's four of everything in the works Yeah Uh huh And then they'll pick one Well there'll be a reality TV version Yeah

They'll be Do you want to be the best street racer Do you want to be in one of those videos where a car drifts and then hits a crowd that keep getting served to me on Reddit? Yes, I do. I want to be in that car. I'm in the people getting hit by drifting cars algorithm at the moment. Oh, boy. It's really good.

Wow. Sure. Okay. More fast and furious. I mean, this is. I don't know. It's on few. It's running on fumes, James.

This is like where the MCU is at, where it's like, it's on the decline. Yeah. Not making the same kind of money. Yeah. The next movie Fast Forever is apparently out on March 17th, 2028. Fast 4 ever, 11? No, it's just Fast Forever. And they're going to put all the budget towards bringing back Brian probably, I would say.

You can't be Fast Forever. It's what it's called. I know, but I'm just saying. What do you want me to do about it? Fast Infurious 4 is like the least interesting Fast and Furious movies. 100%. Yeah. 100%.

Thanks, man. That's good. Yeah. Yeah, it's just Fast Forever. F-O-R. EVR. It should be fast 11 ever? Fast 11 ever.

It might be 11. Is it 11? Because last one was X, right? Which was 10? Or it wasn't 10? I think it was 10. It was 10. 9 was John Ciner as the bad guy.

10 is John Ciner as the good guy. He's got a new brain. Yeah, he's got a new brain. That's right. Yeah. Okay. Anyway, four spin-offs. Great.

The God of Paramount Plus or whatever. Which is now HBO also. I don't know. It's been too long since the last Fast and Furious movie. Wrap him up. I think I got the date wrong last time, but was it like 2024? Who knows, man. It feels too long.

Knock it out. 2023. Knock it out, wrap it up. This probably came out the same time as Assoca. Yeah, a little bit before that. It's interesting. All right. Westworld is back.

Is it? This is exciting for everybody listens to this show. Sure is. Yeah. This is a call back. Because you can't get your Westwell fix anymore because in a lot of places they just erased it from existence. Correct.

What's crazy about Westworld is it was a flagship HBO series when they brought it back to a reboot. Yeah, that's right. And then it kind of peted off into obscurity. and then they deleted it. Yeah. Which I think... Just delete the bad seasons. Yeah, but I don't think there are any bad seasons.

I think three is a filler. Yeah, you might be right. Is that the future one? I mean, they're all the future. Yeah, it's the one set predominantly in the real world of the future. And it's the one about the AI machine. It's a big sphere. And Aaron Paul has to fight a big sphere.

Yeah, there is, yeah. Yeah. Okay. Back in the habit. Back in the habit. So, did we talk about this? Is it a residuals thing where you don't have to pay anybody if you remove it? Oh, that's great.

It's not in syndication, but syndication is different on streaming depending on the deal. I wonder, because it was an early thing, because now I think all the streams are quite wise than that in shafting all their employees where they're probably like, well, no, you don't get any residuals. If you don't negotiate a big payday at the start, you don't get any residuals. So maybe the earlier ones, they did pay residuals. Yeah, okay. They're like, every time someone watches Westworld, you get a residual and then people started doing that and they're like, oh, we regret this. We don't like this. So we'll just, we'll just quietly destroy it.

I think you can still watch it in Australia? Okay. Well, it's on 20... I mean, you can certainly steal it off the internet. It started in 2016. Mm. Anyway, they're doing a... I'm just checking HBO Macs.

A reboot. Which is a thing that I have, I think. Oh, I gotta sign in. Fuck. Who do I talk to about this? You can watch it in Australia. You can watch it on... You can watch one season on Borge.com.

Yeah, of course. And you can buy all four seasons on Prime Video. Buy. Buy. Buy. Bye. Bye, bye. That's what I say.

Agreate. A bye, bye, bye, bye, bye. Anyways, Deadline are reporting, the reason we bring this up, because David Kep, we'll write the... Kepo. Yes, we'll write the reboot, which is going to adhere close to the original movie, which was written and also director by Michael Crichton. It's like a precoce... We've got a video on it. It's a precoaster to Jurassic Park.

Yeah. It's what if you go to a place and everything tries to kill you. Guess how much one season of Westworld is? Which season? Season one. Uh, one million dollars. Close. Two million dollars.

$3299. Oh, I thought you were saying... Oh, to make. No, no, no. Yeah. 3299. That's like box set numbers. It is, isn't it, right?

Yeah. Wow, there you go. Now, David Kep, you might be like, wow, didn't he write original Jurassic Park? So I'm going to name some movies and you give me your reaction. Uh-huh, sure. This is what he's written. Also, writing doesn't necessarily mean that you're in charge of the final outcome. More often than not, you're not.

He wrote Original Jurassic Park, the movie. Ah, you're good. You wrote Jurassic World Rebirth. Bad, I think. He wrote Snake Eyes, 1998. Nicholas Cage. Yeah. Pretty fun.

He wrote The Mummy. 1970. Oh. Oh. Ah. He wrote Black Bag. I like Black Bag. Yeah.

He wrote Indiana Jones. This is a mixed bag. It is. He wrote Indiana Jones. Which one? And The Dial of Destiny. Oh, come on, man. He wrote Disclosure Day.

We don't know yet. We don't know yet. We don't know yet. So, yeah, pretty interesting filmography overall. A lot of Spielberg stuff in here. Yeah. I don't know. Is it?

Is it time? Is it, is it? Is it time for this or is it? Seems too soon, right? Yeah, I don't know. Yeah. Who do you get as a Yule Brenner? Who do you get as a, because you want a, like an actor who's like, who's known for.

Yeah, Vendezel. Yeah. But if you wanted to. Oh, you need a guy who's known as a cowboy guy. Yeah, or something like that. Yeah, I'm, because. And are you doing a Western world or you're doing a future world? Yeah, which is also a movie or whatever.

I guess you'd make it a Western, I assume. Yeah, but I mean. I mean, didn't that only work because in the original? Because Yul Bryna was a famous Western guy. But there's no more famous Western guy. You know who loves being a famous Western guy? You go Kurt Russell. Yes.

Or Kevin Costner. Yes. What do you think? Because he's Yellowstone all the time. He's yellow stone. He's paying for all these divorces or something. And all these new movies? Movies.

He made two big movies. Yeah. Two big event horizon, what they call? Horizon Zero West. Horizon, yeah. There's two epic big sagas and the first one bombed and now he's just sitting on the second one. Yes. That would work.

I think it would work. Would work. Because, I mean... You get Michael Landon from Little House on the Prairie. And Highway to Heaven. Yeah. He's a Western guy. Was he in that?

Yeah. Is he still alive? No, he died in the 90s. That's what I thought. You could get James Garner, who is also dead? Oh, yeah. He died. You were aiming for dead guys.

I mean, they can't say no, can they? Put their AI, put their face on something. You put any number of dead Western guys. John Wayne. Yes. The Duke. You get the, because now they can do it. That's my call.

I reckon they're going to attempt to do this. This will be revealed prior to the release of this, whether they do it or not, they're going to say, we went to the estate of John Wayne and said, can we put John Wayne's face on an evil cowboy robot? Does he got any living relatives? Bruce Wayne? I heard he took him all with him. That's right. On the battle cat of the battle cat of the afterlife.

I watched a video recently on Little House on the Prairie, a show I vaguely remember being. Got a rebut recently. On Late Night Volt, who talks about the making of that show at Michael Landon's role, because he was a huge star. Yeah, right. Requested a lot of shirtless sequences and or whatever. From the other actors?

Yeah, no, I was mostly here, but a lot of morality stuff worked into it, even though he was also having an affair at the same time. Sounds about right, yeah. Anyway, at the end, because he didn't want the studio to do anything with the show at the end. They blew up the town. Like, for real.

You should watch this video. Late Night Vaults. They did great videos on like, why did suddenly Susan collapse or whatever? Because the city was blown up. They blew up the city. They blew up San Francisco or over that show is set. I don't know.

Yeah. So anyway, late night night ball. I'm going to write that down. You should definitely. Also, the thing is that the fun of the show, I think, was you had the time and the space to do the multiple layers.

and there was the time... You cut up in their brains and they've got a puzzle in it or whatever. Exactly, and the time skipping element and all the clues. And it was that era where people were like, what are the... What's the secrets. What's the secrets? Which of this is a secret? It's all a secret.

Is there a big AI ball? Yes. Yeah, man, Aaron Ball's going to... Aaron Ball. So anyway, that's happening. Yeah, so I don't know how they're going to compact this into, you know, a... I think they'll just do... It's going to be Jurassic Park.

Oh, yeah, okay. Because they're not going to be... like, what if we put a human consciousness at a robot? No time. We're at time for this. You're right. You're absolutely right. Oh, what does it mean to be human?

Shut up. The robot is killing everybody. It's just Terminator, but he's got a cowboy hat, all right? Yeah, no, you're right. Also, near a future, probably. Yeah. Probably like 2028 or something. Maybe 2022.

2022, sure. Okay, yeah. Yeah. All right. West world. West world. West world. It's back.

Last better news is via EW. Ew. It's Green Lantern News about the Lanterns TV show. Spoke to a showrunner, Chris Mundy, and he said that this actually takes place over two time periods, 2016 and 2026. Okay. Which I guess because it is true to...

2026 is when Westwell came out. That's right. Yeah. But also... 50 characters will be watching and discussing Westwell. Yeah. As a part of a cross-promotion thing. This is good and will be good forever.

I hope they do a movie. Where can I watch this? 3299. Not bad. Pretty reasonable. Pretty reasonable. We're very prosperous here in 2016. I hope there's no big worldwide

recession. So, because it is true detective-esque. I want to make a counterfeit credit card with my green lantern ring. Blip, blip, lip, lip. Great. So, so it's like a true detective.

It's season one, it is over two-time period. So I assume that's what they're going to for. It's a whodunit murder mystery kind of thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But apparently, according to Chris Munter. Probably Sinestro. Sinestro. It's less of a who-done-it-as-much as like what happened and why. We think of this as a relationship

between John and Hell and there's a lot to one pack of over the course of the eight episodes. And also there's a bunch of other people from the mythology from the canon, but not other lanterns. So I think Guy Gardner is in it. Okay. But we talk about them at different times

and we're not going to interact with them over the course of a season. So yeah, I think we're going to get to Sinestro or Guy Gardner, the two lead lanterns and then probably not the squirrel. That explains in the, there's a line in one of the previous trailers

where How's like, I'm the only green lantern. I don't talk about these. I'm the only human green lantern, I think. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And he's right. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

This looks good Also, didn't you say, or some people are mad because it's brown. Yeah, of course. But whatever. It's, I like the idea of, because I guess it's the opposite of the thing that you want of Superman,

where Greenland can be cosmic in anything. What if he was just stuck into town? But also, he's Green Lantern. That's true. So he can make a big fist. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Flat.

Yeah. But are they going to, again, as we always wonder with a lot of these, are they going to surf Dracula this? Is it just going to be like seven episodes of them wandering around? Oh, look, the battery with my Greenlandland? battery won't work. It won't charge.

And like five minutes before the end of the last episode they're like full charge, let's go. And then it's big green fists. We also saw a couple of promotional images. We saw Aaron Pierre holding the lantern. Yeah, the lantern. The green lantern. And he's in like hospital scrubs or something. Hospital scrubs. Hospital scrubs.

Probably got out of lantern hospitals. Probably got out of lantern hospitals. And also, didn't you say green lantern rings can make other green lantern rings? Sometimes. Can you speak to that? At length? Sometimes, oh, when the writers want them to. Yeah, okay.

When the writers want, so if there's one green lantern ring and someone's like, I don't have a green lantern ring. Well, now it's time to have a green lantern ring. I've got one now. And is it permanent in forever? Sometimes. Can you speak to that?

Sometimes it is. If the writers want it to, then it is. Then it is. Sometimes everybody's got a green lantern ring. Sometimes everybody's got black Adam powers. Yeah, that's true. You know? If you're really trying to push Black Adam,

you give everybody in the DC comic universe black Adam powers. They go, wow, I'm more powerful than ever before. Because I've got Black Adam. This is intriguing to me. Yeah. Do you think Black Adam in that comic book should look like The Rock? Yes.

Yeah. Like more than he ever has in any other comic? Absolutely, I do, yes. Okay, good. 100% yes. Great. Well, we're going to review the thing we're reviewing now. Time to do that.

The Punisher. One last kill. Big special presentation. Big is. Alert. 48 minutes with four minutes of credits. Blamp. Blamp.

Yeah. Bwamp. How did you feel about the length of this, actually? Brisk. Yeah. Interesting. Written by John Bernthal. It is.

It's written by him and Ronaldo Martin Green, who also directed it. Yeah, because when you write something, you know what the story is. Correct. And when you watch something, you know what the story is. I always know what the story is. Can you tell me what you think the story was? Oh, man, come on, don't make me think about it. All right, the punish is back?

Is he? Well, is he? Frank Castle's back. But he's sick of it. He's sick of punishing. Is he done too much? He's done too much punishing and he's all like, oh, I miss my family. Oh, I'm just going to walk past all this. incredible The Warriors level of crime.

The world's got to hell. This cartoon violence world I live in. The world's got to hell in a handbasket. I don't even care anymore. Why would anybody even have a shop? People would just cover it in and kicking stuff over. Well, I mean, you know, it's... I know you have to exist and whatever.

I do have to exist. Thank you. Unfortunately, you do. I do. You know, in the world... But in this world, in this universe, of course, the punisher took down the Nucci crime family. Which happened in his season, did it? No, it didn't.

Oh. Most of the footage you see is new footage. It happens in a montage. He kills some of the Nucci guys in... That's what I thought, because they appeared in... In season one and two. I haven't seen... It's not all those kills me say.

Season 1 and 2 of the Punisher. Yes. There's two seasons of the Punisher. Correct, yes. I haven't seen either of those. All right. Wow. Okay.

Anyway, he kills... But anyway, there was clearly a mid-period bit where he kills a bunch of this crime family. Yep. But then Ma Nucci, who's still alive, she's like... She's from the comics. Exactly. She's like, well, guess what? I'm going to get you, I'm going to get big revenge on you.

So I'm going to send all my guys to destroy this neighborhood. And everybody's in, everybody's on board. Every single person is on board. It was already being destroyed as well. At the end of this special presentation in the credits, it says the American Humane Association monitored this and no animals were harmed, which is good because at the start of this movie, a white supremacist gang member kicks a dog under a truck.

Yep. So, you know, that's the level that we're at, I think. Just to prove how evil. they are. I saw somebody reviewed this and they said it was like, I don't know, like a screenwriter's first draft or something like that or like, this is very not save the cat. Yeah, well, you're the

opposite to that. Very screenwritery kind of way of like, well, how do we make these guys seem even more evil? Well, we'll get the, we get the Nazi guy to kick a dog under a truck. Apparently they were debating about whether to put it in or not and they went with it. Because yeah, when you do see, you know, you might get some comeuppance for doing something like that

potentially. It feels deserved. But also, overall, I think this is like pretty standard in terms of what we've seen of this version. Yeah. I don't think there's anything particularly, like there's some good action. Uh-huh. But there's... He is this version of the punisher, isn't it?

It's this version, right? And I don't think it... Because he's conflicted. This version of the Punisher, he's conflicted and he's still really sad and he's like, I don't know if I can keep going. The comic book Punisher, he loves keeping going. Yeah, exactly. He'll do this all day.

Yeah. Because there's two modes of this version. It's like grief-stricken, stuff. uttering lunatic. Yes. Or like just zombieed out in the world. Or just killing everybody. His beard and his hair connect in the middle.

Big. It's big. Embarrassing. And there's no, again, which I wanted to see more. And maybe it is this in the show of which I haven't seen. But I've seen this episodes of Dead Devil. He's in and whatever. But there's no plan to anything that he's really doing at any point.

He's just kind of. Well, in the flashback montage. Sort of. Like, I guess. Uh-huh. But nothing. forgive the term, Mason his execution is like

slap dash, which I think is fine, but it's always slap dash, you know? It's... Yeah. I think... You're thinking of the Punisher is more meticulous. Yeah, meticulous and like... Like Thomas Jane like Thomas Jane or, you know, where's the joy

in what he does? Yeah, uh-huh. Which is like, again, a big part of the comics the Ray Stevenson is that. Just a guy stomping people out and having the best time. This is, this is, this doesn't do that. So I don't think it advances the character. Again, it's more like...

It does because he surfed Dracula's by the end. Sure. He's the Punisher by Brand New Day. Yeah, I understand that. But also, he needed this to evolve into a Punisher that is suitable for, you know, a PG-Rated Spider-Man movie. Not really. You could just have him show up in Spider-Man. Correct, you could, yes.

Because we know he got out the last season of Daredevil, because he's not in Daredevil season two. And then he does this. And then he'll just be Frank Castle in the Punisher in the next one. Correct. Yeah, I just, I don't know, it does. Did you like it, though? Yeah, it's, it's fine. Okay, yeah.

It's a lot of Frank gone, ugh, ah, yeah. You know, there's legs on fire, Frank. I think I like this more than you. Yeah, apparently, and he did that for real. Yeah. There's some interesting stunt work in this, and one very interesting visual effect. Yeah, I wish to talk about that. Again, I wouldn't say, I didn't like this.

I just think it felt really pedestrian and covering ground that we'd seen before of, like, psychologically and action-wise or whatever. And the action's really good for the most part, except for that one thing. But again, it's... Did you ever see any of the raid movies? Yeah. Reminiscent of the raid. Raid-manicent.

It's very raid-miniscent. But don't you think this should be better? Yeah. Like, if you're going to do 44 minutes, I just feel like it's... Reminis of the raid reminiscent of dread as well? But it's just two, it's two very distinct sections. So what I should say also, if you haven't seen this yet, it's basically in a small sort of enclosed neighborhood.

And Mar Nucci, who's sort of going up, he's going down. Yeah, the organized crime leader is just like, at this time, every, you know, gang member we know, every guy is employed by us. Every kind of, you know, knife swinging, gunwielding, lunatic will converge on this location and just do crimes and also kill you. I guess they've been told kill the punishment, but do as many crimes as you want in the meantime. Like, just shoot up a, you know, a local cafe or whatever. I think there's some very inventive, like, gunwork and weapon stuff happening. Yes. A lot of, you know, there's some great axe stuff in this as well, which is...

He should have more guns on him at all times. Yes, he should. But, again, he doesn't, because he's... Well, how do you feel about that he's not really... He's not, he's just hoodie guy? I didn't like it. Yeah. Again, like, and look, I don't think we're necessarily going to get this.

I would like to see it. But what if he had his black onesie and his white boots? Yes, right. Yeah, that would be great. You know? Yeah, yeah. Make him off white. Make him gray.

That's fine. fine. Make them white and then covered in dirt so they're dirty white. I think there is a middle ground between like tactical and that. I think you can do it but I don't know. Yeah. Anyway, there's one really terrible shot that people have been talking about. Now my

understanding is so he gets he gets thrown from a roof. Or does he jump from the roof? I think he gets thrown. There's a moment where he jumps from roof and there's a moment where he gets thrown from a roof and he lands on like an air conditioner like one of those housing. Yeah, aluminium, aluminum.

air conditioning duct things on a roof. And it sort of collapses and it looks like maybe a PS4 cutscene. Yeah, people are comparing it to like GTA5 physics and it's that. So my understanding of it is that John Bernthel did the initial jump off the roof. Yeah. And then he's stunt double landed in the air conditioning thing. And it's a face replacement. And it does look like that.

But also it does look like a whole CGI redo. It does, doesn't it? I would like to see the behind-the-scenes footage of this. I'm able to be out by the time this is to know, like, what actually happened here. But I also think it lingers too long. Like, because he's raggedole in slow motion down there, whereas, like, you've had it been bang, cut, you wouldn't have seen it. But then they'd have to cut the scene, they spent all the money on.

Oh, yeah, you'd hate to do that, wouldn't you? But also, like... Which isn't to say that Marvel probably haven't done that constantly over the years. For sure. It's made a big CGI effect and then gone, no, no, room for it cut it down. I don't even want this. But when I see things like this and I see it kind of going viral or whatever, viral, as much as it can, I wonder, does this help or hinder a show like this? Like, do people see something like that and then go, oh, I got to check this out?

I don't think so. And then they check it out and go, oh, this is actually all right. No, I don't. Because it's the only thing that looks bad in this entire thing. And that's kind of unfair to be like. Yeah. I think it may be if you could look at the metrics for this, I wonder if people have been told, oh, if you go to minute 32. it's that and then people look at it and go

I can't believe I thought this was fake I'll go and look and then they look at it and go no it was in there also they may have fixed it now there was also some audio issues apparently yeah people have talked about it as well I didn't notice it so much

but I don't think it like if it were oh my god have you seen this bit and it's like a real epic gun battles scene and it's you know elaborate whatever I think that would maybe encourage people to watch the show but like a flub it's not gonna it's not gonna work

You just watch the GIF and you go, oh, I guess I might. Okay, yes, really. Okay, I trust you. Yeah. So, yeah, apparently a source close to the production told the Holy Reporter that's a real in-camera shot, as you mentioned, Berndtel. Perform the fall, stuntman took over the impact and there is some VFX, which including the facewalk, which is exactly what you said.

The VFX is we replaced John Bernthel and his face and his body and the air conditioning duct and the roof. So we replaced it all. And we did it in Unreal Engine 3. So speaking of audio, we show. those issues, Disney Plus put this statement out on one of their social medias. Thank you for reaching out and letting us know your experience, that you're experiencing no audio while watching The Punisher One Last Kill.

Well, I definitely had audio. Me too. The good news is that our team knows about this particular issue and is working on a solution as we speak. Let us know if you can help with anything else. Like, how do you, because when you've got the amount of money that you have at Disney, and this is only a 44-minute thing, how does this even happen? And you know what it's going to come out as well.

You're not surprised by this. Yeah. I think it is the same thing that we hear about. all the visual effects and all that sort of stuff. Yeah, because it's not, again, it's not on the people making the thing. No. Because it comes down to money and time. I think it's down, yeah, but, you know, as we've talked about,

but perhaps people have forgotten, the thing about a lot of MCU visual effects, the reason they often look bad or they look kind of, because they don't work hard enough. Because they don't work hard enough. Yeah, they don't work hard enough. Is that the effects guys technically have four months from the, when the movie finish you shooting to when it comes out. And in four months, you could.

do an effect and refine it and make it look real. That's what I'd do. Like Iron Man 1 where everything looks pretty flawless. Well, they make one movie and then wait two years for the next movie or whatever. But now what they do is they go, okay, mock up this laser effect and they do it. And then they go, not quite good enough. What if it was blue? Yeah, what if it was blue?

And then they mock up another effect in the next week. And they go, what if it was green and blah blah. And then it's too similar to this other guy's laser. Can you throw that out and start again? And they go, blah, blah, blah. And then the amount of time shrinks. and by the time we get to release day, the effect they've come up with

was created and refined in like a week. So it's really, you know. Whose fault is it? They could, the creators, the visual effects guys. So I imagine it's something similar. It's like, do this audio, change it. No, add this, add the folie, add the whatever. And they keep asking them for changes.

And then the final one is, you know, they've got two days to knock it out. And they go, well, this is the best we could do, given the parameters and given you made us throw everything else out. Yeah, do you want to just speed it up and do a quick cut? No. No. Linger. Yeah. Linger.

Yeah. Do it cranberry style. Should we do? I mean, I know we've spoiled a lot of this, but do you want to just do some full spoilers. Yeah. I'm still going to say best special presentation ever. Obviously not the best one. The best one is where we'll find out.

And the Guardian's one's good as well. Yeah. Of the three, it's the worst. Yeah. Is there another one? No, there's only three. Yeah. But this also feels like I don't think it's really better than there was a Frank

Castle, Thomas Jane Punisher Short. Dirty laundry. Which is like 10 minutes, which is pretty much just this as well. And I don't think it's better. I don't know if I want to be the punishing anymore. Better go do my laundry. Oh no. Oh no, my laundry is dirty, which is a metaphor. It's a killing guys. But I can't put the skull shirt on because this is a fan film or something.

That's right. Yeah. But I just think if like if you can put everything into something, I just don't know whether why are you retrading? If you could put everything into something. Yeah. It's real. Like heads. Very existential. Like head slapping, like kind of, you know, like mental trauma or whatever. I don't know.

I haven't experienced anything. This what the fuck do I know? Maybe it's very realistic. But it just, yeah. Oh, here's something I learned, but we took it to this recently in our second take of Spider-Man Life Story. Sure. That, you know, it gets kind of difficult when you have the origin of a character in a certain historical context. And then the time moves too far into the future so you can't.

Like, you know, like, and one of them is, you know. the Punisher, whose origin was, he was a soldier in Vietnam. Apparently, a lot of events in the comic book Marvel universe now take place in a fictional place called Sian Kong. Oh, okay. So he was in a Sian Kong War. He wasn't in the Vietnam War. That's not even a real war, though.

It's not even a real war. And like Iron Man, he had his origin, San Kong War. Damn. And I guess then you can put that war anyway. So was Magneto put in a concentration camp in the Sian Kong War? I don't think, I think that's still World War. That one still will go to do.

Yeah, he gets rejuvenated every couple of things. He does. He gets magnet rejuvenation. He gets magnet rejuvenation. Zap Zoom Kalamazoo. That's exactly right. Yeah, look, I think the action is worth it for this. Yeah, the action is good.

It is good. It's good. The action is good. Also, Andre Royo from The Wire is in this? He's the shopkeeper. That's good stuff. I like him a lot. I like seeing him, yeah.

Yeah. And Marnucci's bodyguard is... Well, he's meant to be a character called Barakuta. Oh, he's Barakuta, is it? Well, he's called Barry. And he's that guy. He's Barry Barricuda? He's Barry Barricuda, I guess.

I don't know that. But he doesn't, you know, the Punisher doesn't fight him or anything. No, I thought that was going to happen. Well, that's the thing. It ends very abruptly. As in like there was going to be, is that, is that the woman in the wheelchair that he beheads in war zone? Warzone. Maybe, yeah, I think so. What Punisher comic? No. It's also weird that she didn't get her come up. Well, that's what I mean. I guess the idea was that she's going to get her come up. It's in future stories, future Punisher stories.

This might be a James Bond. You should have just chopped her head off. So there's something, Ray Stevenson Punisher would have chopped her head off right there in the first meeting. He wouldn't have been like, oh, what a know. Oh, I don't know. He would have, even unarmed, he would have leant into the woman who's on, he's in a wheelchair and then on crutches and he would have turned her head all the way around.

And she would have just died on the spot. He would have been like, what now? You made me do that. I guess I'm going to fight Barracoup, Barry Barracuda now. Someone was asking me about the punish the other day because not knowing about comic books. And now like, oh, like, who's the punishes, like, you know, arch and emisies. He's a superhero.

And I'm like, well, kind of. Like, who's his archerer? nemesis. I'm like, well, sort of jigsaw, but nobody, because he just kills everyone. Yeah. So he doesn't have a joker. I guess it's jigsaw. It is, yeah, I guess so, yeah. But they have to sort of, but that's the thing. They sort of have to contrive ways that he doesn't die every time.

Yeah. You know, in fact, he did want, he gets rejigsawified. He did once the devil brought him back to life. The devil, stay out of it. This is not your business, please. It's not your business. Yeah. Yeah.

So, I don't know if, I don't think you'd need to see this again to go into Spider-Man, where he's just the fully formed punisher that we see the end. It's with his sweet fade. in the last two yeah he finally yeah he just just gets that tight fight fade on the sides

and tight five and then he's got his tight five and then but then the thing so what happens is at the end of the white supremacist skinhead guy from the from the start he's about to baseball bat a couple yeah and then the punisher just like

you know knocks him on his off his feet and then the guy who's dog the homeless guy whose dog was killed like you should kill it's just like because he took the homeless guy's hat as well so the punisher takes his hat off him

and then the guy's guys like, he took more than that and the punishers like, well, better kill him. What do you mean? No questions. No questions. Because the punisher also, this leans into, again, the punisher doesn't have any superpowers except when he's an angel or a Frankenstein or any of the other time. His superpower is he's had a lot of painkillers. Yeah, that his superpower is, and it's never set out right, but the superpower is he always knows when somebody is irredeemably bad and he can kill him with that with no consequences. He doesn't, there's rarely a situation where he like

he kills a guy and then someone says he was just he just stole money to feed his starving family or whatever it's always like that guy stole money for no reason because he was evil you know yeah no you're right i was going to mention this before which is i think it's a is it a james bond comic where he kills a mob family and then there's one person left in a wheelchair and he's like no just in case i think that's the james bond comics might have been the garth annis one yeah because i'm like is that a punisher one but it's it would be james yeah he would he would kill yeah he would yeah Exactly. You don't want that guy

coming back for revenge later. Of course not. Yeah. But yeah, again, the action in this, I thought was a lot of fun. Yeah.

And also, it's brisk. Yeah. And John Bernthal's a good the punisher, I think. He's a good, his version of the punisher.

Yeah. Yeah. Could be bigger. I've said it before. I like sometimes when he's like six, four. Yeah.

And you do see like a mugshot in this where he's like six two and I'm like, yeah, and six two. That's right. He's like five nine with hair. He's going to be eye to eye

with Tom Holland Spider-Man. They're going to be very careful not to have them right next to each other, I think. Anyways, reviews, we've got some from the Planet Broadcasting Great Makes group. Jonathan says, I was kind of underwhelmed, honestly. Didn't feel like any arc of... Didn't feel like there was any arc or character development.

Just felt like a self-contained episode of the Punisher series. Alliot says, no spoilers, just an observation. I have had severe PTSD. Ten years with therapy has really improved things, so I'm good now. That's great to hear. That is good. The show's depiction of mental health was

to me anyway, incredibly accurate, moving and really reminded me how far I've come, but I really felt his pain, tremendous acting. There you go. Also, Debraan Waller's in this. Oh, yeah, she is. And one of his buddies from one of the seasons of the punitions, yeah.

Yeah. But not Evan Moss backwreck as my crore. No. He's not in there. He's too famous now, even though they were in the bear recently together for a thing. But I think that's interesting

because to me, I'm like, oh, I've seen this before and whatever. Yeah. But for somebody who's experienced something similar, then yeah. You know what this needed? Is it needed... The boots.

It needed the white boots. Yeah. The Dainty White Boots with a big Cuban heel on them. What it needed, because the thing about the Punisher is that he's this specter of death and everybody's afraid of him, but nobody was afraid of him in this. It needed an additional act where after he's being pursued and he's not, you know, he's on the run and he's grabbing other people's guns and, you know, he's running out of bullets and he's, you know, constantly getting, you know, thrown off roofs and stuff, you need a bit. And this is sort of what I was expecting, but I knew it wasn't going to happen because the runtime was so short. he needs to be like, okay, I've gotten out of that situation. Now we go on the offensive and he puts the suit on.

He gets in the van and he goes to one of his safe houses and he gets a million guns and then he does it the Matrix style or he goes to Manucci's house and he just shoots his way through a mansion or whatever and then chops her head off. Maybe that's what it will be the next part or something. It may be. You're saying this could have been 58 minutes with four minutes of credits as opposed to 48 minutes with four minutes of credits. Correct, yes. All right then. Tim says, felt like reading a Punisher Annual, had a lot of fun with it.

Best special presentation ever. Well, behind World War Wolf Spy Nine. You see, I guess it did feel like that. It felt like... Yeah, you pick up a... Or like an odd episode of the... You know, an odd issue of the Punisher. What if the Punisher's not prepared for...

He's just getting ice cream. Yeah, but he's always not prepared. Yeah, he should be prepared. So that's what I mean. Like, it's not new. Yeah, like, if this were an ongoing show... Yeah. And it was an episode...

And he's been the Spectre of Death. But then there's an episode where they're like, let's get him when he's not prepared. Let's get him when he's nude. That would be a fun novelty. Let's get him when he's nude. get him on his note. I only have these dirty hoodie.

But to be a standalone, I'm like, nah, probably needs a little more. Yeah. Georgie says, worst movie ever for me, John Bernthol is great at playing this version of the Punisher. I just feel like this version

doesn't really stand on his own and needs someone like Daredevil to give the character any depth or justifications of his actions. I think pairing him with Karen Page is interesting as well. I think that's always been a good idea. William says,

hell yeah, the balance was awesome. The book ends to the special also nice as a contrast. This seemed to take place after the events of Dead Devil, born again season two. Fun, mates. Joe says, I just finished it and begrudgingly worst movie ever. I really wanted to like this. But besides a couple of cool kills and Frank's hallucinations, it didn't do anything for me.

So yeah, pretty mixed reaction from what we've said. You know what? It also struck me, and I think people have commented on this before. It also feels like it's like, well, now he's the punisher. Yeah. But he was the punisher at the end of season one and two. Yep. And in Daredevil and whatever.

And in Dead Devil, like, and it's the same vibe of like, Well, he's Spider-Man now. Yeah. Well, he should have been Spider-Man three movies ago. I remember he already had a Spider-Man suit. Yeah, that's pretty early, actually. Yeah. Yeah.

All right, there we go. Anyway, I would love more special presentations. I think it would be funny. You know, obviously this ends with he goes, he throws a knife in the back of that white supremacist's skinhead guy. And then he goes and he pulls the gun on him. And it goes, bang, the finisher. I think it'd be funny if brand new day starts with Spider-Man just webbing the gun out of his

hand so he can't kill the guy. And he's like, stop it. Mr. Castle. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. You know? Even though you're much tall than me, stop it. Yeah. Yeah. What are you?

You haven't got any evidence against this man. Don't shoot him. I was saving this for later, for letters, but I might do it now. It's from Drew Robinson, who says, After the Punisher One Last Kill, what other characters would you like to see get a special presentation? Would you like a character we've already seen, get expanded upon him? Would you like to see a character we've not had yet? Wilson Berndt. Benthal, who plays Bullseye, said he'd like to have one. Him going up against Hawkeye, the Punisher.

I like that. Okay. Okay. So I think it would be a great way to introduce a new Wolverine, do Wolverine versus somebody, etc, etc. So what do you think would be doing that? I would like, not perhaps not bullseye, but I would like day in the life of a super criminal in the Marvel universe.

Stiltman. Because that's stilt man, because we know the equipment's in the Marvel universe. Yeah, just like maybe get a guy, get a silly guy, you know, who's planning a bank heist and he's got ice powers or whatever. Or he's boomerang. Get the boomerang guy. or something.

You know? Just give me, give me a slice of life in the day of New York City. Or do like, remember that episode of The Simpsons? It was like 50 short films about Springfield or whatever. It's like, do like, you know, what's happening in the newsroom. Or like, you know, what's happening in the subway or like, you know, a shopkeeper who's just trying to do his daily life and then a shocker shows up. Yeah.

You know? Boo. Boo. Shocks them. Exactly. See, I had a similar idea as where I think I'd like to say a series of this. Like an anthology series where they're all released, you know, week to week or at the same time, where it's like minor characters, major characters, existing characters, new characters,

like magic characters, street level characters. And you do like a... What's net up to? What's net up to? But like, you know, like a black mirror kind of style where it's a different thing every time. But it's the same universe. And one week it's like, I don't know, Barron Mordo gets sucked into a portal. And the next week it's, you know, I know, Stiltman doing his grocery shopping or whatever.

I think something like that. And then from there you could kind of what works. What do people want to see more of? It also gives an opportunity to introduce or reintroduce characters that you wouldn't do a movie or a series with. Problem with that is, of course, they have to come up with a new idea every time and new sets and everything costs money.

Yeah, everything costs money. But just use the money you have. Use the money you have. Use the money you've already got. Use the money you got from Avengers, which is lots of money. You got so much money. Use any of that.

Yeah. Yeah, maybe a, yeah. I guess they're doing this with the Jim. You're doing like 10, 15 minutes, exactly. Do a day in the life of the Daily Bugle. Yeah. And it's a guy. The thing is that, because like you'd make it like that guy who died.

Get the lady who's the new, she's the, she's the blogging lady. Oh yeah. He's Ben Urich's daughter. Maybe get her day in the life of a reporter or something like that. She gets a job at the Daily Bugle and they're like, attend all sorts of weird stuff. And also the Hulk's there. The Hulk is there. Yeah.

It's got a little hat. But he's yellow. And that's the big story. Why are you yellow now? Is he sick? Ugh. Yuck. That's the headline at the end of the episode.

Is he sick? Yuck. Witnesses say yuck. All right, should we move it along? Let's move it along. To what? What we're reading? What?

What? I'm doing nothing. What are we Westworlding today? That's a great question. I watched Gary, which is the episode of the bear that came out as well. Yeah, I thought it was fun. So it came out a bit a week ago, but I only saw it. You're telling me it's a prequel?

It is. It is a prequel. Yeah. So it came out a couple of, like a week or so ago, but I only saw it because I went on to Disney Plus to look for the Punisher. Sure. And Gary was the first thing up and it had John Bernthel in it. He's the Punisher. He's the Punisher, but he also wrote this.

So John Berthel and Eben Moss Bacharach wrote this additional episode of The Bear, which is just available separately. And it's just about there. It's set prior to the events of the Bear, so the Bear is but a twinkle in Carmi's Eye. Where is he? Probably just... In France or whatever. Yeah, I guess that's where the bear was originally. Oh, in France.

Exactly. No flashbacks to it either. Probably didn't have the budget. But it's about Mikey and cousin. Yeah. Going to Gary, Indiana, to pick up something for Uncle Jimmy. So that's Oliver Platt's character. I think it's fun. I think a lot of people, I go, it's kind of self-indulgent, but it's like, well, that's the bear. Yeah. Have you ever seen The Bear? That's right. It's just them having a bit of a muck around. They get into a, you know, they meet some people. They meet a, they meet a nice lady who works at the, you know, the local diner. and they play some pick up basketball

with some local youths and they trash talk them and they go into a bar and they argue with each other it's fun, you know? Great, all right. I saw that and I'm like, I should watch this

because I have seen the rest of the bear. John Bernthal's a great supporting character in the TV show The Bear. I agree. Who shows up every... Sometimes he's in the bear! Sometimes he shows up a couple of times a season. Sometimes he goes, Kami, I stole a bunch of money for you.

I'm the bear. That's right, and I'm not alive anymore. I'm not alive I died in here. Exactly. I've died in here, Carmen. But I also find that, like, It's just interesting that Bernthel and Moss Backrack are. I guess they're mates.

They are, well, they are made. So they met because Berndthel was, I got all the facts here. Somebody's gone to the Gary Wikipedia page and filled in all the context of their lives. That was me. You're welcome. Oh, thanks. They, Matt, Moss Backrack got Bernthel cast as Mikey and the Bear. Because they met on the Punisher?

No, Berndthel was Moss Backrack's understudy on an all-bought-way play 5th of July in 2003. Then they were in the Punisher together. and now they're in Dog Day Afternoon on Broadway together Well they're not once Berthels is understudy again But apparently Moss Backrax never missed a performance So Berthel's just up the back I guess No but he only comes in to be asked too Yeah probably

Yeah so that's fun I should watch Dog Day Afternoon the movie Should I? Yes, it's good, good movie Yeah I just think it's fun I think there should be more duos These guys could be a Give me more episodes

where they have to do weird stuff together. Weird, weird adventures together. Weird stuff together. Weird stuff. In the bear or just whatever? Just whatever.

Yeah, whatever. They're running around. In the Punisher, do a Punisher Flash Break episode where it's a Punisher in Micro and they just got to get a Gary Indiana. They got to go get the bear. Yeah.

Or whatever. They play pick up a basketball. They kill everyone. Basketball, yes. James, what are you been watching? Oh, I also got the hardcover tray paperback for the Cryptonite Spectrum.

Oh, you love the, you're like, this is the best Superman comic. It is really good. People should get it. Oh, I love it. I want to kiss it. That's you. But it is good, isn't it? Yeah, it is good.

Let me have that. I got two. I got that. I just want to give him a shout out because I got Cryptonite Spectrum at All Star Comics in Melbourne, which we love. And I was looking for a copy of the Dark Patterns, the Batman Dark Patterns. Oh, I love Dark Patterns. Trade Paperback, which is out in comic book stores, but it's not out in regular stores until like the end of June. Oh, okay.

So I'm like, and everybody else was sold out. So I got a comic from just a company of a, a, website in Melbourne called the Aussie Comicsco.com. Osecomiccom.com. I just, I've searched for it and I'm like, and I was on their website and I said, is it in stock or is it a pre-order? And they said, no, it's in stock. I'm like, I'll get it.

You actually emailed them and asked them. I emailed them. Oh, wow, you never sent an email. And they, well, then they sent me an email like in, you know, like in 10 minutes. They're like, it's available. So I think they're like an online comics company that, I think they're looking to get like a physical store, but they're online for the time. Do they international ship if they're able to internet?

probably do. Hell yeah. Or maybe they don't. Maybe they can't. Maybe they don't. But I just thought that was great. You know? Yeah, that's really cool.

Because I looked at it and I'm like, I don't know. Yeah, this is like, you order it and then it doesn't come for three months. Or it doesn't exist at all. Yeah. Like you can't, at this point, you can't really tell if something is a real online store or if it's just some, it could just be a website that scrapes another comic delivery online store. Exactly. It puts it all up and just takes your money. Yeah.

But, uh, well, it's because I ordered some furniture recently. Uh-huh. And some of the items, well, one of the items arrived and the other ones are like, this is in Feb. Uh-huh. And then they're like, these are coming in June. And I'm like, you fucking. Yeah, right.

You didn't tell me that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, yeah, yeah. Yeah. But again, I've said before, Superman of Cryptonite Spectrum. It's by the Ice Creamman guys, I think it's up there with All-Star Superman.

I think it's just super fun and silly. Having not read it, I disagree. All right. Then great. Terrific. Well, I saw a live show. Oh. I went to Eddie Izzard, the remix tour on Thursday nights.

Oh, yes. Eddie Izard, who people would know now from comedy. From comedy? From comedy? It was 12. Oh, yes. It's now Susie as Eddie Isard. Right.

But I guess, you know, you tour under Eddie Isard because... That's why I do it. I tour under Eddie Isard. So it was at Haymer Hall and it was... Like, I've seen some of these bits before. Uh-huh. She did the Darth Vader bit at the end. Oh, yes.

In the Canteen bit. But it was also like, I'd seen that a bunch, but it was also like improv, like there was new stuff in it. So again, some of the, I vaguely remember maybe some of the bits, but a lot of it was new or improvved or whatever. It was great. I had a really good time. I think that was the only show in Melbourne. Okay. Because I think they're also doing Hamlet at the moment.

Right. In Melbourne or something like that as well, but like serious hamlet. Serious Hamlet. It's not like comedy hamlet. If I had a complaint, though, it's that the show started at 8 o'clock or a bit after. and there was a 20 minute intermission and it probably went for like two hours and 20 minutes and I'm like this is too long for me man

I think stand up should only be an hour I'm old and it was also I should say it was consistently good Oh of course yeah yeah but for me I'm like This is too late for me to be out of this way If a comic is making an international trip And everybody wants to see all the classic bits You've got to show them the classic all the stuff

Also in Mystery Men Also in Mystery Men There you go So anyway I don't know where I mean, touring everywhere all the time. Yeah. Doing marathons, running for parliaments and stuff.

Yeah, me too. Me too, man. I'm a big fan. And I'm selling tickets as Eddie is art. So if you want to get in there. It was a pleasant experience to be like, oh, do you want a ticket to this? I'm like, fuck yeah, I'll go to this. Didn't offer me a ticket interesting.

Well, actually, they specifically said, do you know Nick Mason? I'm like, yeah, I'm known him for years. I do a podcast with him. You're like, yeah, do not. We have spare tickets. Wow. Do not invite him. What are why they don't like me?

Um, I think you know. Yeah, I know. Your personality. Yeah, that would be my off-putting personality. Yes. And I have been defrauding Eddie Isard by selling tickets as Eddie Isard. And you wear those like Facebook glasses where you record everything. That's right.

Yeah. Yeah. For my sick purposes. Yeah, it's fun. It's fun to be me. Cool. It is. Yeah.

Should we do the letters section of the show? I love letters. I love letters. Do you love, love letters? To cinema? Yeah. Like Nicole Kidman or whatever. Yeah.

It's loading. There we go. All right. That's good because it gives John letters enough time to arrive. Oh, yes. He's late. Yeah. That's interesting because people responded, I think, very positively to John letters.

And yet he's not even here. Yeah, a guy who, you know, from what I can tell, based on the forensic accountants I've hired, has somehow had a stranglehold on our finances for years. He's got access to the Patreon. And all our letters. Yeah. I don't like any of this, but people seem to really enjoy the fact that John Letters, who, by the way, is not John Lennon. No, a lot of people think that, but he's not saying John Lennon's.

Right. It's John Letters. Yes. And of all weeks to not show up. The week after his public debut. Yeah. Yeah. Wow.

Okay. I guess we're just going to have to find our own letters. Yeah, I guess we can do that. Okay. I mean, maybe... Are we getting reimbursed for this by John Lennon's? Letters? Fuck.

I can see why people do it. Yeah. It's easy to make the mistake. It's easy to make that mistake, isn't it? Okay, let's find your own letters. If you know John Letters, can you just send him our way? I would say given that John Letters hasn't supplied the letters this week, he shouldn't be paid. But then it's not up to us, is it?

We don't have any of that. With all of the money? Have you got the lawyers on this? I don't. I think he is our lawyer. Oh, no. Yeah. Wow.

Pretty cool, though. Pretty cool. Pretty cool. Also, I looked into it. It is his real name. It's his birth name. John Letters. Yeah.

Again, a fabulous. nominative determinism. Nominative determinism. Wow. If you do want to reach John Letters, God bless him

wherever he is, you could go to the Planet Broadcasting Greatmates group. There's a thread every week or send an email to weekly planetpot at gmail.com.

Would you like to go first? This is an email from Nick. Thanks, by the way, for doing John Letters' work this week. Yeah. I mean, geez. No more money in this for me. Yeah.

Nick says subject line, wrong trains in movies. Oh. Hello chaps. Or as my wife calls you, that annoying, nattering. Yeah, that's fair. What's your movie inaccuracy, anachronism, bug bear?

Mine is inaccurate railway representation in movies. I'm going to guess that a lot of our listeners have that particular bug bear. I would have it if I knew anything about trains, but I don't. Here in the UK, we have a thriving heritage railway industry. Oh, must be nice. With over-preserved railways across. Oh, over-preserved. Like a jam?

Come on, man. Like a marmalade? With on average between 400 and 600 working order steam diesel locomoters ranging from the 1800s to modern day. And yet I have yet to see the... correct period locomotive appear on the screen in a film. While I appreciate the logistical reasons for this, it drives me nuts. What's your equivalent to this?

Mine is people who have flashback photos that it's clearly photoshopped. I hate that. And it's like, you can't just get two photos of people from that era and then put them together. Right. It's always like a really badly photoshopped head or it's a photo that was clearly taken really recently. Yeah, right. I just, I hate that. It really annoys me.

But by contrast, I love it when they've clearly asked the actor's mum's. to be like, do you have any photos of your kids? And they're like, yes, I do. You got so many. Yes, I got so many photos. Yeah. Don't ask my mum for any photos in me, by the way. I live alone.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mine is probably people who never run out of bullets. I was going to say, it was a reload thing, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Which, I mean, I think movies have gotten a lot better at that recently. They count their shots. They count their bullets. John Wick made them do it.

John Wick made, exactly, John Wickman. And speaking of the Punisher special presentation, he was always counting his bullets. Yeah, that's true. Sometimes he'd get a gun and he'd shoot one bullet and he'd be like, I'm out of bullets. I'm out of my one bullets. I wish I had more than one bullets. But I don't. Yeah, that's a good example.

You know, I don't like this happened, I think, in the Black Widow movie. It's period inaccurate toys. Oh, yeah. I'm like, that's the wrong Ninja Turtle. That's from the Michael Bay era. Why would they have that? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't like that.

Pretending to play video games. Bad video games. Hate that. Yeah. There's a really obvious one in the 40s. old virgin where one's playing like a Nintendo 64. Right. One of the other one's got a different one and they're just like...

Just whacking away at them. Yeah, okay, right. A lot of people have, and it's similar to this railway one, it's where like they know the area too well. And it's like, there's no way you could go down that street and appear in this location. That's on the other side of the city or whatever. Totally. That just depends where you...

I find that fun. If they do that in Melbourne, I'm like, that's great actually. You can't go down that laneway and end up at Flemington racetrack. Exactly. Stupid idiot. You'd get run over by all. A horse. He would.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've mentioned this before in The Grey Man. There is a tram sequence. And there's nobody running the tram. Yeah, there's a fight on the tram. And it's like, no man, the safety switch would engage and it would stop. Do you think somebody... There needs to be a sequence where the grey man puts a brick on the safety switch.

That's the safety switch. Yeah, someone would say, that's this... I've turned it into the unsafeity switch. Yeah, nice, nice. I'm the Grey Man. I'm the Grey Man. I'm played by Chris. Evans or right Gosling.

Ryan Gosling. Hell yeah. Chris Evans is Mustache Man. So what's... Into the grey is the latest grey movie? In the grey, yeah. So it's in the grey? There's the grey.

There's the grey men. We should do the grey trilogy. Grey trilogy. Three colours grey. Do you want to do that? Yeah, to do it. We should do that at one point. Okay, let's do it.

In the future. Yeah, in the future. We can't now. No, no, no, no. Yeah. But otherwise, I love all things in movies. Okay, yeah. I think I love inaccuracies in movies.

Oh yeah, it can be fun. It's more fun than accurate. But then again, I'm not, yeah, I'm not, I don't have any particular. I bet I do, though. No, for sure. Yeah. For sure. For sure.

All right, we've had this before. I want to see if there's any of an update from Richard who says, June 3 or Doom's Day first. End of the year, Dooms Day and June 3. Got to be Dooms Day, yeah. It's kind of the same. It's because of spoilers. For spoiler purposes, absolutely, yeah. No one's spoiling Dune for me.

No. Even if it's different. It's fine. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Also, we might get an early screening of, well, maybe both. Maybe we'll see both in IMAX

Though which one has all the screens Is a Dune? It's June apparently Whoa Yeah yeah how the tables have turned How the Dune tables have turned How the Dune tables have turned Yeah This is from Andy

Hey Jens I'm not sure if you've heard about it I have actually Got a comic company written Tell me what it is then A comic company That's the clue That's the clue Yeah

They've recently done a revamp And it's quite popular No But also controversial No And some people don't like it Yes You get warmer

For reasons that I I think is valid. Yep. Yeah. You would? You would. Yeah. Any further comic book related?

Any comic book news recently you've heard about? It's about Dick Tracy. I'm just guessing. Shot in the dark. No. Nah. A comic company recently announced a new edition of the killing joke that cost $17,000. That's fucked.

It comes packaged in a replica camera that the joke he uses in the comic and there's only 47 copies being produced. The one he uses to take nude photos of Barbara Gordon after he shoots her through the spot. Correct, yes. Oh, that's interesting. There's only 47 copies being produced. We'll do the math on that. What's the most that you have spent or would spend on a special edition

of a certain piece of physical media? It doesn't have to be a copy. Well, it could be anything. Thanks, massive fan of the pod since way back. That's from Andy. 17,000, did you say? That's USD. How many copies?

And then 47 copies. What's the significance of that? Don't know. 47. That's 799,000 US dollars. Okay. But in the old money, which is the Australian money, that is more than that.

Wow. That's a million. That's 1,110,110,000. Okay, then. That's fucked. Yeah, yeah. What's it look like? I'll show you.

The killing joke. Probably come up. I mean, look on the Twitter. Here it is. There it is, James. There's a video. It's big, it's big enough. So it's in a leather bound kind of.

It's in like a leather bound thing and you can sit the camera in. So it's actually a camera? No. It's not a real camera. No. And you just take the, there's a big lens and you, and you take it. Where's the book? It's behind the lens.

they're going to show you now as if I imagine you can take it out and it's just a I mean yeah I think it's pretty cool I guess it's like a hardcover version

yeah but it's 17,000 that's crazy but why well because people love you know fleece and people who's buying that

from the avant-garde edition from Argent comics it's the first ever jiclet printed comic I wonder what that means an original version of this will cost you

at most like 300 bucks Yeah. So I don't know why you would buy it. Wouldn't you just want the original one? Oh, recently I did a, I bought, we did this for the comic book club.

I pay a hundred bucks is my answer. Yeah, 100 bucks is the answer. I also don't, for anything. I'm not interested in really in any kind of, like vintage version. Yeah.

I'm happy that the first issue, you know, I'm happy there's a few surviving copies of action comics number one, but I don't need to have one. It's not important to me. Yeah. I can,

you know, I've read it. It's fine. Oh, Yeah, I bought the Dark Night Rises. I don't know. It returns, it was four issues. Yep.

And they're all hardcover. Because I was like, oh, what's the best? I'm like, what's the best version of this? I'll get that. I've been looking because I want to get a little handheld desk toy. Because I'm setting up a new desk room. Right. One of those clicky ones?

No. No. You know, like the Super Mario Brothers like 30th anniversary? It's just like Mario Brothers and lost levels on a handheld. It's like a game and watch. Oh. Game and what. But it's like color?

Yeah. Huh. All right. I'll show it. All right. They're not worth it. I got the little Zelda one. Yeah, it's like that.

Yeah, right, right, right. So they're not... What I pay for that? 50 bucks, I don't know what they cost. Yeah, they're probably about 50, 100. So it plays like original Super Mario Brothers. It's more of a desk toy, but also I'm like, I could just get a really... So I've gone down an emulator rabbit hole of like, I want a cool retro-looking emulator,

but I also don't want 15,000 games. I kind of want a game that's got like one thing, and I just pick it up and I play Mario Brothers and then I... That's the problem as well, because they're... The only options really are like... Because, you know, James, you know I like the Omega 500. Oh, I know. And they released a version of that, like a compact one, you plug it in your TV. It's like the keyboard, but it's got all the stuff in it.

Yeah. And it only comes with a small number of games, but you can also put in a USB and get all the other games. The problem is, it's either an officially licensed thing with a small number of games that they can officially license or like a cludge together kind of ramshackled thing with a thousand games. But then there's no guarantee that any of them will work really. It's just like, okay. Exactly. There's no middle ground, which is what I want, where it's free and everything works good. See, I was thinking also this, I'll get a little streetfighter.

This is an official street fighter fighting and it's got Street Fighter too, and it's just a little handout that's got a couple of versions of Street Fighter. Like, again, it's a fun little kind of desk toy. And you can open it with a knife like this guys. Then you go over the knife or whatever. Have you considered paying $24,000 for a Daytona machine? Mason, I think you know that I have, actually. I've been thinking about that.

Most of your life, honestly. Yeah. But don't you think this is fun? Yeah, that's super streetfighter, too, by the way. Yeah, I know. It's got two versions of streetfire. But also I'm like, oh, maybe I got Mortal Kombat, but there's a Mortal Kombat one,

and it's just a little arcade cabinet. It's got a little fighting. I've seen those, yeah. I'm like, I don't like that. You can get those. There's no fatality. No, you used to be able to get those at J.B. Hi-Fi, and I've seen those, but I'm like,

there's a Neo-Gea version. Yeah. But also, it's like too fiddly. Yeah. Just give me the form. If I'm making a little arcade cabinet, I'd get like a slightly bigger arcade cabinet, you can play two player on me.

It would. So I've been looking at, like, different handhelds. Oh, yeah. And whatever. And there's Evacade and whatever. And I just, I just don't know. I think I'm just going to get the Mario one because I don't want to get sucked into it. Not just for real.

Not like, oh, I'm in a video game. Oh, no, mushrooms. And then you get the poison mushroom from the Lost Levels. Exactly. But just like, oh, I'll play Super Mario Brothers for like a minute. But then I'm like, well, I kind of want to play Super Mario World. What doesn't that exist? And then I'll go down that rabbit hole.

Yeah. You've got to think about it really out because then also they'll be like, but you can, for another $100, you can get the handheld with Super Mario World on it. And you're like, oh, well, that's another one. And then you're building up a weird stack. Exactly. I don't want a weird collection, but also, or I want like a really cool looking retro thing, which has a really nice backlit screen, which has good battery life.

And it's free. And it's free. Or I'm like, maybe I'll get a Game Boy Advance, like an original one or one of the newer models and you just chuck a game in it or whatever. Chuck a game in it. But then also, if you look at the original versions of Mario, which they re-release for that, they've got screen crunch because they've had just shrink it down. I don't want to play a compressed version of the game.

You'd look like an idiot. I'd look like an idiot. People would be making fun of me. He'd look like an idiot driving your car playing a compressed version of the Super Mario Brothers game while driving your car and crashing into a bus stop. Exactly. And by all accounts, yeah, they're good. Crashing in a bus stop. Yeah, that's good. But like, they're good, you know, they're good ports of the series. But like, I don't know if I want to play it like that. Maybe I'll get like a little TV and a tiny little Super Nintendo or whatever. Maybe put that on my desk. Maybe I'll fucking shoot myself. I don't know. So you don't have a desk.

it's coming. I told you my desk is late. You're just always on the couch with your laptop. I know. That's why I'm getting a desk base. For your mental health. For my mental and spiritual health. Thank God. A long time coming. Decade overdue if you ask me. Decade?

Yeah. Try two. Because it's like they always say you've got to separate your work life. Exactly. But you're always on your laptop, on your couch. I've often said, I've thought to myself, Jamie, should get off the couch. You're going insane. But they haven't said anything because I don't want to offend you.

You couldn't have. me, I'm unoffendable. Stop doing that. Anyway, have you got any more letters? Here's an email from... Did John Letters bring you this one? No. This is all you.

I haven't seen Hayden or Hair of John Letters this week, which is interesting because once again he was all over the place last week. Yeah. You know? Made a big song and dance, didn't he? Big splash. Did he speak? I can't remember.

He was speaking. Was he? Yeah, he was talking all the time. That's great. It's great for him. I didn't say much, but he was talking. So Jesse from California. California.

Well, it worked with someone. of my employees, we were talking about movies we were looking forward to to see. I mentioned the backrooms and it was pointed out to me, it takes place in my home city of San Jose, California. Wow. The actual place the backrooms is located in the movie is literally five miles away from my house. Guess what? We've docks you.

We've got you. We're coming over. That's right. San Jose, California, watch out. I'll have an extra layer of immersion while watching it. Are there any movies that are based on locations you have been to? Based on location. I mean, I'll be into Paris. A bunch of movies in Paris.

Is that count? Emily and Paris. Emily and Paris. I went to, I've been to Venice and I'm like, this is where they filmed Indiana Jones third one. Yeah, nice. Some of that. I'm like, this is cool. What else?

This is where James Bond drove that gondola car. That's right. That's right. Roger Moore. And there's like, somebody's put like, they've just drawn a mark with this is where he drove into the, this is where he drove into the canal. This is where he came out of the canal. This is where he looked at that pigeon and it looked back at him to the double take.

Somebody's put a little pigeon. Yeah. Have you ever been somewhere that like, I did a lot. of the Rings tour of like where they filmed a bunch of Lord of the Rings stuff. Every time I go past the Yara, at a certain point in the era, I go, that's where they film Ghost Rider. Exactly. That's where that bridge.

Yeah, that's where they filmed that bit where Rebel Wilson is talking about how she saw goes right. He's docking someone or whatever she got to me. Don't say, don't say anything about Rebel Wilson. I didn't say that's what other people are saying. I don't even know anything about Rebel Wilson. Yeah. Other than she docks somebody?

James. I'm not saying that. James. James. She's allegedly quite litigious, allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly.

Allegedly. Allegedly. And in Australia, allegedly our slander reliable loss are quite... Allegedly. They're allegedly quite stringent and allegedly you can pretty much sue anybody for anything here. I love to her in Pitch Perfect 1 to 3, I think. Me too. Yeah.

I think 2's the best one. Couldn't tell you. It's also the one I saw first, I think. Wow, must be nice. I didn't think 3 was as good. Allegedly. Free's not as good allegedly, all right? I've got a letter.

Any other locales? What did they feel? I'm looking forward to Empire City because they filmed that in Melbourne. Did they? Yeah, the new Gerard Butler. Jerry B. Jerry B, one of the Spice Girls. He is one of the Spice Girls.

I don't know. Yeah, the ones that I've said. A lot of the Rings Tour was cool. It was like, that's where Barrimir died. Okay, we've got to look up stuff that's been filmed in Melbourne. Just real quick. Why is that to be Melbourne?

Why can it be other places in Melbourne? I don't know, but I just like Melbourne. Because it's good. Oh, I love coffee culture. I do. And Laneways. Laneways? More like Laneways.

That's you. Nice. Maybe I'll get one of these street fighter handheld tiger electronic games. You don't seem interested in talking about films made in Melbourne. I'm not. Remember these? Remember these tiger electronics, awful? Yeah, of course I do.

Yeah, of course I do. It's like, oh, I can play street fighter, I guess. Animal Kingdom? There's only one, yeah, oh yeah. I'm going to rewatch Animal King, not the series, but the American one, but this one should just be like, oh yeah, that's Brunswick. There's only one. That's in Brunswick.

There's only one good old one. It's the game and watch. It's the flip screen, the dual screen Donkey Kong game. We go up. Yeah. Yeah. Is that what we were talking about? Yeah, man.

Oh, okay. Dogs in Space, famously Sharehouse Sharehouse set movie. It's got Michael Actions in it. Is it? From the band that he was in. From the band in excess. From the band in excess.

What about the movie where the car splits in tow? Malcolm, sure. Was that filmed in Melbourne? Yes, it was James. Isn't that your favorite movie? It's my favorite movie. I love that you have a favorite movie. That actually makes me happy.

And it's Malcolm. Is it because of the car splits in two? Of course. I mean, that's why, you know, that's why I initially was drawn to the film Malcolm. Yeah. But then later. The story pulled you in?

No, it was just the car split into. Yeah, yeah. Maybe I'll get a Game Boy, original Game Boy and get the worst version of model combat on that. Maybe you should. Yeah. Any questions for Ben, Ben.
