Oh, did you? Yeah, can you tell? Yeah. Watched it this week. Yeah. We'll talk about it later, I guess. You've never made about family. Now you are, though.

Now I know all about family. Well, good. We'll get into that. And flipping cars. Yeah. Like bloody flipping cars. Oh, you mean like flipping cars? Yeah, flipping cars, mate.

Oh, I don't know it Alright well let's get into the news then Okay great Because that's what we do Because I've already covered what we do Yeah I'm so good at this now We're really the best

Episode possibly 79 Possibly 80 Who knows David Duchovny was on some talk show Some time this week Yep okay Have I set the scene? You boy have you

Anyway he was talking the X-Files and the series Return Of, how they're doing like six or eight episodes. Oh, yes. This is going real well, isn't it? But he said a couple of, he named a couple of characters in particular that are returning.

Krychek. No. Smoking Man. Yes. Didn't he die? Yeah, he exploded to dust. Oh, yeah. Weird guy that looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger.

We did this last week. No, but the two he said were Skinner. Oh, yep. Who's the, he runs the FBI or whatever. Sure. Or whatever branch Mulder's in. He's probably retired now. He's real old.

Nah, he'd be right. He just looks old because he's bald. He's probably like 20. Oh, yeah. Great. And, yeah, and Smoking Man. The Smoking Man did explode at the end. I'm pretty almost certain he did.

Yeah. But they could have cloned him. Yeah, sure. Yeah. That was a thing they did in that show. Yep. And by a thing, I mean they did literally everything. Yeah, they sure did.

If you can name a supernatural thing or a weird sci-fi kind of TV trope. They did it. They bloody did it. Yeah, yes. They worked that right into the ground. Did they do time? They did do time travel, didn't they? Because once they were on a boat, a cruise liner.

That's right. And time kept, yeah. Did time keep repeating? Time kept being strange. Or they took the place of two time travelers or something. Time. Or people from the past. Yeah.

It wasn't very good from what I remember. Anyway, look forward to that, Mason. Great. Whenever it comes out. You know what I'm looking forward to? Sure. It's David Duchovny's book, Holy Cow, A Modern Day Dairy Tale, which is out. Can you elaborate on that?

I was in a book shop a few days ago you nerd I know and there was a book and it said David Duchovny holy cow

modern day dairy tale and I'm like oh that's weird it'd be weird to be an author and people always confusing you for actor David Duchovny

but and then I open and it's David Duchovny he's written it's like a novel is it like anti-dairy I don't know I didn't read it so you have no idea what this is about no I think it seems to be some sort of And it's David Duchovny. He's written, it's like a novel. Is it like anti-dairy? I don't know. I didn't read it.

So you have no idea what this is about? No, I think it seems to be some sort of animal farm, like parable thing. Now I may be wrong, but there's already a book like that. It's called Animal Farm. Correct. Is that right? Yeah. Okay.

So why does this happening a thing? I don't know. And I asked a friend of mine who's a super big, like Duchovny X-Files fan. And I said, what's the deal with this book? And she's like, what book? So I don't know what this is. Like, I don't know. Why does it exist?

Does she love California? Email in, everyone. Weekly Planet Pod at gmail.com. I don't want to know. Twitter Mason at Wikipedia Brown. Okay, great. I don't care about David Duchovny's milk book or whatever it is. But I'm looking at it on Wikipedia. There's no link.

Like, I can't click through. Maybe it's about the death of the milkman and how there's no milkman anymore. Oh, maybe, yeah. Yeah. Well, so there's literally nothing. No. Well, we tried, didn't we? We sure did, yeah.

It's a real book, though. Great. Is there a digital coppity? There probably is. There's probably a digital coppity. Great. Well, Ninja Turtles news, Mason. Exciting Ninja Turtles news.

In addition to getting Bebop and Roxie in the sequel. Yes. Looks like we're getting Casey Jones played by Stephen Amell. That's right, from Arrow. What do you think? Pretty good, yeah. I'm happy with that. Does that feel like typecasting? Yes.

Do you feel he's too clean cut to be Casey Jones? Nah, he's fine. Just rough. He has long hair. You've seen his island hair. Oh, yeah, that's true, yeah. I think he'd be a good Casey Jones. He's probably... I'm surprised they didn't go younger, like teenager. Oh, yeah, that's true, yeah. Yeah. And I think he'd be a good Casey Jones. He's probably...

I'm surprised they didn't go younger, like teenager. Oh, yeah, okay, yeah. But I think they're like... Arrow's pretty popular, so we'll just do that. Yeah, and I think... Yeah, that's true. They probably sort of have to age match with Megan Fox. I guess so, you're right.

Who's 40 or 25. It's impossible to say, isn't it? She seems nice, I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. Back in the day, they had Elias Kote isn't it? She seems nice. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. Back in the day, they had Elias Koteas. Who was great, actually. He was really good.

Yeah, yeah. And he returned for Ninja Turtles 3. And in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, or TMNT, from 2007, he was played by Chris Evans. There you go. Voiced by Chris Evans. I'm sure, yeah. Chris Evans would be a good Casey Jones, though.

Nah, too old. Not raggedy enough? Not raggedy enough. Thank you. Jones, though. No, too old. Not raggedy enough? Not raggedy enough. Thank you. Yes, yes. Okay, cool. Well, I reckon Chris Evans and Stephen Amell are probably roughly the same age, like mid-30s probably.

Yeah, I guess they could raggedy up Chris Evans. Yeah. You saw Snowpiercer? How bloody raggedy was he? I didn't see Snowpiercer. You didn't see Snowpiercer? I said I was going to, but I never got around to it. I feel like you've said you've seen Snowpiercer before,

and now you've gone back on that. Like you said it to be cool. Seems plausible. Seems like something I would do. But you know what? I'm coming clean on everything. I haven't seen Snowpiercer. Again, I've never seen Top Gun.

We had this conversation. It's fine. When you say you have, not a kid. Okay, so. More news. More news. So Batman 66 has obviously been continuing in the comic books. Correct.

Which I haven't read, but you've been reading it, or some of it. I'm behind, but yeah, it's really good. Yeah. It's super fun. Cool, excellent. I don't know, like, I'm of two minds. I kind of want them to introduce, like, Bane 66, et cetera. I don't know if they have or if they will.

Yeah. But I kind of want to see... Bane, Scarecrow. Yep. Who else? Hush? Hush, yeah. Hush 66.

How good would that be? Who else would be real weird? Someone like Zaz? Yeah, I was going to say Mr. Zaz 66. That would be very good. What about Fish Mooney 66? Great. Super great.

Okay, but in the tradition of continuing this, they're doing a 90-minute animated Batman 66 movie with the voices of Burt Ward and Adam West. They'll be returning. So, yeah, you on board for that? Oddly, they're going to switch roles. That's strange, isn't it? You okay with that?

Yeah, fine. Why not? Why be typecast? Thank you, yeah. They've had enough of being typecast. That was their one demand. I think they're getting... I think I also saw Julie Newmar as well.

Okay. She's still alive. Yeah. One of the Catwomen. Because there was a couple, I think there was three. There was Eartha Kitt, Julie Newmar, and the third one. Yeah. Yeah.

All iconic. Oh, all so iconic. Yeah, great. Yeah, that's terrific. It's weird how this went through such a period of time where people really hated on the 66 show. Yeah, yeah. And it's come full circle. Yeah. Which happens of time where people really hated on the 66 show yeah yeah and it's come full circle

yeah which happens well I think I've mentioned before we have yeah I hated it as a kid I'm like no you loved it as a kid I loved it as a kid

then like you know then you denied loving it yeah I loved it as a kid but then like I'd read the Batman comics and they got kind of darker and Batman 89 was

exactly as canned but just looked darker and I'm like this 60s one sucks or whatever. And I'm like, that's amazing. So dumb. These two versions of Batman can exist because they're both inherently ridiculous.

Exactly. You're exactly right. Yeah. We've all come around, haven't we? Yes, we're the best. Does that mean Batman's going to go more campy? In general? Yes, I hope so.

I think they're going to get more comic booky i hope they do just more like i don't know i want a big coin in his cave i thought he still had the big coin no in the movie i'm talking about oh yeah i'd love a big yes big coin big dinosaur like old robin costumes because big coins and big fake dinosaurs exist in the real world. Exactly, they do. There's no... In fact, I demand it. In Batman vs. Superman, I demand a big coin and a big dinosaur. What was that big coin initially used for? A penny plunder case.

Go on. Something to do with Two-Face. I can't remember. It was one side scratched. Can't remember. Did anyone get squashed under that coin? So if you turn it over, there's just like a squashed guy but at one point

Two-Face tied Batman and Robin to it but on the same side same side and then flipped it and then they're like well all the weight's on this side

so we're going to be crushed to death but then somebody reversed the polarity or something that's how you do it that's how you do it exactly

and the dinosaur I think is a robot dinosaur yeah it is it's like a security measure it's pretty great yeah okay well that's great good speaking of of batman v superman v justice v dawn of uh the trailer for that oh yes with variety have confirmed so it's probably is it variety or verity it's variety some people

say very no they don't i i've heard it multiple no well they're all wrong they're confusing with the actual word verity which doesn't mean that at all and And it's spelled differently. Yeah. The Batman v Superman trailer, it's going to be landing with Mad Max, which is on May 15th. That's right, yeah. Which is pretty fantastic. Isn't it? Sure is.

Yeah. I mean, I don't know why that's news, but it's a big movie, and we've been waiting for a while, so. Have we talked about the full Mad Max trailer? The one that just came out. Just came out. Didn't know.

Oh, yeah. Couldn't have. I mean, I meant personally. I meant to our friends and loved ones. To been to our family fam beating everybody we know exactly yeah literally everyone we've ever met that we haven't tried to kill who's who's tried to kill us is our family fast and furious 7 is to be believed which it is yep mad max fury road trailer yeah looks great sure pretty nuts uh so we got sort of more story i guess marginally more story yes you know he's done a really good mad max breakdown and trailer breakdown bandit

incorporated he's done the three movies and he's done the one of the trailers and it's great so if you want to know mad max stuff go to bandit incorporated's youtube channel yes but yeah uh so it's some kind of weird slave world i I guess, where they're using women as slaves and men as organ harvesting things. Which explains why he's got all his Mad Max, has all his blood type and all his vital statistics on his back. Yeah, yeah. The tattoo of vital statistics from Asterix.

Yes, exactly. On his back, yeah. Who was the chief? Yes. He was the chief. I'd love to do an Asterix episode. Okay, let's do that. But not a Tintin episode. Wow. I'm against him. He's an idiot. Because he survives by pure chance was the chief. I'd love to do an Asterix episode. Okay, let's do that. But not a Tintin episode.

Wow. I'm against him. He's an idiot. Because he survives by pure chance all the time. Exactly. And Asterix is a goddamn thug, and I love that. They solve every problem with violence. It's mostly Roman-related, and that's fine.

Yeah, so are you just giving it a skim through now? I'm just giving it a bit of a skim, yeah. I should probably do the same, because I haven't watched it in like a week. The Bandit Incorporated guy also pointed out that it looks like Charlie Theron, the way that she's got her kind of makeup, like that she was a guy who worked for this Immortal Joe because all his kind of minions have that kind of makeup thing. Well, we've really broken this trailer wide open.

I'll tell you what, we've learned so many things. Learned so many things. Do you think it's a good balance between original Mad Max and incredibly bizarre Thunderdome? Yes, it seems to be. I might be wrong. I'm curious to see how this movie is received. Will it be too weird and too kind of nuts? Yeah, I'm also curious to know if what we're seeing, all the action in the trailer

is just one long extended action sequence. That's generally how it is in Mad Max, isn't it? There's only really one kind of, there's only been one kind of big action sequence, but I think they'd have to do at least two or three. Yeah. Yeah. To satisfy us modern moviegoers.

Exactly. Actually, you know, Immortal Joe. Yes. He's actually, he's played by the same actor who played the villain in the first one. Toe Cutter? What? Yeah, same actor. There you go in the first one. Toe Cutter? What?

Yeah, same actor. There you go. So that dude must be like at least 35. Yeah. Based on our knowledge of how aging works in Hollywood. Yep, definitely. Yeah. I don't know if I've said this before, but you were skeptical.

A lot of this looks practical. I know this stuff can definitely be faked with CGI, but I feel like George Miller was smart to kind of go, instead of going, oh, just do it like they do like the prequels in Indiana Jones 4, where just kind of everything's blue screen, I'll just sit back. But it looks like they went out there

and they're kicking dirt up and dust and crashing cars and flipping shit. Killing stuntmen. Killing stuntmen, exactly. In that great grand old Hollywood tradition. Yeah. Anyway, fantastic. Looks pretty good.

Yeah. And there's a guy shooting fire out of an electric guitar. Electric guitar with a big stack of amps. I'm all for that. Yeah, me too. So, fuel or water? What are they after? Oh, I reckon it's something else.

Like gold? I mean, they seem to have a lot of big cars. Yeah. I think they're pretty sorted for fuel. Yeah, sure. I'm going to say it's family. They just want family. Some people consider this the fifth Mad Max movie,

as Waterworld was like fourth. Nobody's ever said that. You sneaky Pete. Great. Anyway, Tom Hardy's also signed on to an additional three more Mad Max movies. Okay. So fingers crossed this goes well and we'll be Mad Maxing all the way into the future. Great.

Great. Now, through the slew of April Fool's shenanigans. Oh, yes, sure. From this week. Slew, good use of that word to describe April Fool's. Did any of them trick you in particular? I think the one you mentioned. Sure.

It tricked me only because it seemed very inept. And I'm like, oh, this could, this is plausible because it's bad. It's hard to fake ineptitude. Or is it? No, it's very easy. Yeah, yeah. But none of the other ones tricked you or you were impressed? No.

Google, I think, turned into a bloody Pac-Man or whatever, Google Maps. It's not an April Fool's. It's a bloody April Fool's, mate. It was on April Fool's Day. Oh, then I guess it's an April Fool's. You're right, yeah. Anyway, regardless, the only thing, announcement or joke, I guess, of any merit was the Deadpool R-rated reveal. So as you said, you were surprised by it in the way that it was revealed.

Right. So for people who haven't seen it, just pause now on Google. Just go to YouTube and look up Daredevil R rating, I guess. Something like that. And it's Mario Lopez interviewing Ryan Reynolds. And he's like, oh, it's the same character from Wolverine. And Ryan Reynolds is like, it's not. And it's kind of deliberately awkward. And then he's like, hey, you're the same character from Wolverine. And Ryan Reynolds is like, it's not. And it's kind of deliberately awkward.

And then he's like, hey, you're going to make it PG-13, family friendly. And then Ryan Reynolds is like, I don't know if it's going to be family friendly. And then somebody in a Deadpool costume. Which is right. Oh, it is Ryan Reynolds. Okay, well, that would make sense. Hits Mario Lopez with a chair, which is what we've all been waiting for ultimately. Is that Mario Lopez?

Yeah. Okay, great. Is that by the bell? I've never seen it. You've never seen something like that? I've maybe seen five seconds. But anyway, yeah, so the thing about an R-rated film is it's a really difficult line to walk in terms of pleasing fans

and making money. Right. I actually brought up a list of the highest grossing R-rated films of all time. Yep. And even the highest grossing one, you know, powers in comparison to like a Batman or whatever. Or a Titanic. Sure.

Which I don't think is R-rated. That guy, when he hit the propeller, he didn't split in half, did he? No. That would have been pretty good though. Anyway. Yes. The top five are passion of the christ american sniper matrix reloaded hangover hangover 2 right passion of the christ making 611 million dollars right so that's best case scenario yes is there any chance that this is going to make 611 million dollars it is not no it is very much not especially if it's no good

yeah and who's to say whether it's going to be that's exactly it and i feel like for this movie they're going to have to aim for that 21 jump street the hangover kind of comedy crowd yes to get people into this because can you imagine anybody who doesn't know who deadpool is going to to see this movie oh like what what would get what would get a person in who doesn't know who Deadpool is going to see this movie? Like what would get a person in who didn't know this character? The Marvel banner, I guess. Okay, sure. No, but I mean, I think that even though it's not Marvel Studios, I think people at this point are like, oh, Marvel, they do good things.

That's quality. That's quality. So maybe that's going to bring it over the line. But it's not going to be Avengers $2 billion or whatever. It's not going to happen. Certainly not. And also, I feel that in doing this reveal, and I said this before we started,

Mario Lopez gets hit with a chair. There's no blood. It's quite a sanitized somebody getting hit in the back with a chair. There is a swear word. Yeah. It's fine. Yeah. Not good enough.

What I want is I want Mario Lopez's face to hit the camera with a chair. There is a swear word. Yeah. It's fine. Yeah. Not good enough. No. Even if the PG-13 movie What I want is I want Mario Lopez's face to hit the camera and there'd be like you know the lens cracks and there's a spatter of blood and that's

and then I'd be like oh we're on board with this because it's kind of like it's just sort of pantomime Sure. Like he gets hit by the chair kind of thing. Okay.

Yeah so I don't know if that's an indication of what the movie's going to be like. Okay fair enough. But just based on that I'd yeah so i don't know if that's an indication of what the movie's going to be like okay fair enough but just based on that i'd be like let's i don't know i feel like best case scenario this will probably make kingsman money okay yeah which kingsman has done you know has been pretty solid but kingsman also tricked a lot of people into seeing it because of colin firth yeah who's who's this tricking do i mean to me, to go and see it? Everybody who loved the Ryan Reynolds romantic comedy,

definitely maybe. Right? Yeah, that's a solid audience right there. But I feel like as well, though, with this... Everybody who loved the Ryan Reynolds ensemble diner-based comedy, Waiting. Right? Well, everybody.

I have friends who... Everybody who loved 2011's Green Lantern superhero movie, which was a comedy, I assume, because it was no good and bad. Yeah. I feel like, though, this is a great opportunity to kind of make fun of a lot of superhero tropes and maybe put a stop to certain things happening.

So say, for example, like Deadpool, that costume is dead on, like comic accurate. So maybe you could point out the fact that the X-Men have somehow refused to put on coloured costumes and things like that. And the Fantastic Four, though, apparently they will be getting coloured costumes. They're kind of grey and black and sad or whatever.

Right. And you could even point out... They're going to get colourful costumes in the sequel that's been announced, even though the first one isn't out yet and the previous two films were garbage. Exactly. Right. No, no, apparently in the Fantastic Four

they will dress up. Fan-forced-ics. Fan-forced-ics, sorry. Fantastic. But also they could point out the divide between Marvel and Fox and how they're two separate studios. You could play on that.

Yeah, okay. And even things like how every superhero movie ends with somebody battering down a city yes you know what i mean like there's a whole lot of things you can kind of make fun of and maybe put even put a stop to i feel like there's a really good opportunity for that whether or not they do it is another question right you you're saying that there is an opportunity to be kind of self-aware and that sort of thing. Exactly. But are they going to do that? Yeah.

Is it Fox? It's Fox, yeah. It's not going to be self-aware. Well, look, I feel like they learned from their mistakes or they have from their Deadpool. I think they're aware of what didn't work about that. Okay. And the director is, he's a first-time director. He's predominantly a visual, he's predominantly

official visual effects supervisor. His name's Tim Riches, Tim Miller, sorry. Tim Riches Miller. So this is his first big feature. I don't know, because we haven't really seen anything from him.

This really could go either way. It definitely could. But the other thing is, do you like Deadpool? You're a comic book guy. You like Deadpool. I do like Deadpoolpool you're a comic book guy you like dead i do like deadpool see a lot of people love the opinion and i think i've fallen into more of this camp he's okay in small doses yeah i know well that's that's where i thought you were going

with that yes he is okay and smaller i think that i think my fear is that this will just be for people who like dead deadpool on the surface level who's a guy and he says wisecracking things and he just shoots everyone. You know what I think? Great. Yeah. But it's not going to be. But I think he does work best, A, in small doses, B... In large doses.

In large doses. C, in kind of like that self-aware way where he works with the tropes of, you know, he sort of works against the tropes of comic books and he posts fun and all of it. And D, when he's interacting with people... Who are not aware of that. Who are not aware of that, exactly. Exactly.

Like it's whenever She-Hulk is aware that she's a comic book character, which is fun in her own solo series or whatever, but I think it also works very well when she's interacting with characters who don't know that and they just think she's a little bit crazy and they're just like, oh, yeah, just keep having your fun with your little, yeah. Your little make-believe world or whatever.

Exactly, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So all in all, this will definitely come out. This will definitely come out and go one of several ways. Yeah. And look, like I said, I actually... The egg will be on our face if, like, Fox is destroyed in an earthquake or something and it never gets released. Well, there's a little bit of egg on our face if, like, Fox is destroyed in an earthquake or something and it never gets released.

Well, there's a little bit of egg on our face. Why in particular? Because last week I said they will definitely not make this R-rated because they won't make money from it. Right, okay, yeah. And then, lo and behold, they did it. And they're not going to make any money. Yeah, but, like, you know, to their credit, they have.

So, you know, well done in that respect. Let's usher in a new age of comic book movies. Okay. Okay, great. With Deadpool. Great. Great. respect yeah here let's usher in a new age of comic book movies okay okay great with that good dead ball great all right well now that we've battled through the news oh yes and we learned so many things so many things about movies smoking man april foolington's and all those kind of it's the worst time of the internet it really really is. I know we said this last week, but my God. It's either like something, it's a real news and I'm like, I don't trust this. Or it's so obvious that I want to gouge my eyes out. Right.

You know what I mean? But here's the thing. They fool a lot of people. Yeah, I know. Like a local flavoured milk company in Australia put up a Facebook post that they were releasing a kale flavoured milk. And a lot of people were fooled by that. Look there's no way I'm gonna drink this no sir so stick to the traditional flavors thank you what's this what's this nation coming to I've never had kale people always bang on about how it's not good or really good oh yeah what is it well like the

Deadpool movie it could go one of several ways a lot of blood a lot of bang on about how it's not good or really good oh yeah what is it well like the deadpool movie it could go one of several ways a lot of blood a lot of blood yeah interesting all right well anyway fx is the veil explores the surprising and fraught relationship between two women who play a deadly game of truth and lies on the road from Istanbul to Paris and London. One woman has a secret, the other a mission to reveal it before thousands of lives are lost. FX's The Veil, starring Elizabeth Moss, is now streaming on Disney+. Let's get into Fast 7, Furious 7. Here it was called Fast and Furious 7.

A lot of places are not here. Sometimes it's Fast 7. Some countries it's Furious 7. it was called Fast and Furious 7 Over a lot of places Sometimes it's Fast 7 Some countries it's Furious 7 Is it Fast 7? Sometimes it's And 7 I don't know I got you mate April Fool's Jet You bloody did

Yep I didn't expect it Yeah Did you find it Fast and Furious Or Fast and Laborious Oh that's very good

Thank you It would have worked better If it was the fourth one Yeah okay April Fool's Yeah Look again Fast and laborious. Oh, that's very good. Thank you. It would have worked better if it was the fourth one. Yeah, okay. I see. April Fools. Yeah.

Look, again, I've never seen any of the other Fast and Furious movies. Well, that's what I was going to ask you. Were you lost? No, it's totally fine. Because I went with a friend and he was like, what is this? Why does he hate that guy? He sounds like... My friend Barry. Oh, yeah, that makes sense.

Because it was my friend Barry. That's why it sounds like my friend Barry. He's not your friend Barry. He's yeah, that makes sense. Because it was My Friend Barry. That's why it sounds like My Friend Barry. He's not your friend, Barry. He's family. Sorry. It was mostly about why does this guy hate the Fast and Furious movies and team and family. Sorry.

Yeah. Look, I was not lost at all. It's totally like from context clues. Yeah. Basically, they flat out say it. Unless you go into a movie and you're like, who's that guy? I assume at some point, you know, if you just go into the first movie of a series or whatever, and you're like, who's that guy?

Well, I assume, none of us know, because we're in the audience, but we'll assume at some point that will be made clear, just until then. Shut up. Shut up, and just try and concentrate on the movie. That's what, it's fine. Okay. You go, who are these two? Oh, clearly they had a past relationship.

She's lost her memory. Sure. Yeah. She'll be explaining the story then. Okay. I can do it. Do you want to do it? Maybe I should get my friend Barry to do it.

Let's do half and half. Okay, sure. It's the year, whatever year it is now. Yep. So, it basically picks up directly after the last one. Yes. So, it basically picks up directly after the last one, where at the end, Vin Diesel or The Rock or Paul Walker threw a villain from a speeding plane. Okay, yep.

I assumed he was dead. But he's clearly in hospital. Yeah. Yep. He's Dracula Untold. The Dracula Untold guy. Oh, right, okay. Do you reckon they got him back, or do you reckon they just CGI'd him there?

Do you reckon they hired Luke Evans to be like, just sit in a coma? That's a good question. we had an opportunity yeah we've had this conversation yeah we could have asked luke evans when we have opportunity to interview the cast for fury 7 even though you're hurled from a plane well clearly he's inherited his brother's crank gene sure he's being hurled out of a plane from thousands of feet in the air no no it was speeding on a 27 mile runway apparently because it went for so long the runway would have had to have been 27 miles oh that's okay right unless it was in a circle it was in a circle yeah yeah and so he didn't die apparently not but he's got family yeah boy does he who specifically jason statham who wants revenge against the Fast and Furious family. I really enjoyed that opening sequence,

although it would have been nice to see, like, you know, people say show, don't tell. Yeah. It would have been nice to see him because, spoiler alert? Sure. It's literally at the start. Yeah, we see the aftermath of what was clearly a spectacular fight sequence.

Yes. But we don't see the fight sequence. He bloody the raided himself. Yeah, exactly. So just to be clear, that building was full of SWAT. Yeah, it looked like they were guarding the bad guy from the previous one. And he just massacred them. All of them.

When he'd be like, this is my bloody brother. Look after him. Yeah. He's bloody firmly in there. Yeah. And then he leaves. Correct. Yeah.

So basically, Jason Statham, who has a name in this sure yes yeah he's well sure the last one they're both sure they're both sure last name sure it's so sure yeah he wants the yeah revenge like you said and that's where the movie takes us so as far as performances go were you blown away by the ensemble cast i'm gonna go no spoilers and spoilers not that it matters yeah yeah exactly have you seen a fast and the furious movie i've only seen the one i assume they all go exactly the same way uh rock's great in it yes there are a few characters that make vague appearances and then you never see them again yep like his partner european partner yeah she was the one who dated lady he she dated Vin Diesel before Vin Diesel's girlfriend came back or whatever,

Michelle Rodriguez. And then she's like, you better go with her because I'm nothing. I have no self-worth. No self-esteem on that lady. So she then leaves and whatever. Yeah. Okay.

So The Rock's great. Yep. Vin Diesel's suitably gravelly. There was a lot of... There's an awful lot of scenes end with somebody saying something tough, like a tough guy thing. You notice that? Yeah, absolutely.

Every scene ends with, you know, whatever. Maybe it will be personal. Oh, can't think of a good example. No, that's the best one. Okay, good. Yeah, but there's a lot of that. So if you like those, if you like things ending on weird verbal cliffhangers,

you like that. What about like, so you had some comic relief. You had bloody, what's his name? We'll go through the team. Okay, right. Ludacris. Correct.

Computer hacking guy. Tyrese Gibson. Tyrese Gibson. Yeah, from some of the Transformers movies. From some of the Transformers movies. Yep. Paul Walker. Yep.

Deceased. Rest in peace, Paul Walker. We want to talk about how he was worked into this later. I would say quite... And I never read the script or the original script or any of the original breakdowns or anything, but they did really well, I feel. With what they had.

With what they had, exactly. Michelle Rodriguez. She's pretty good in everything. Yep. Less grumpy than I've seen her in other films. Because she had no memory of being so grumpy. Yeah, that's true, yeah. She was on Shaw's team in the last movie.

Oh, yeah. Because he's like, you've got amnesia. Be in my family. Yeah, I get it. Yeah. And then she was like, no, but the power of real family is better than the power of British family. What was I going to say? There's a new girl who's from Game of Thrones.

Oh, yes. Who was in that bus. Ramsay. Ramsay. Others. Yep. Great hair on her. Great hair.

Great hair. Yeah, fantastic. Yeah. So, look, there was a team. There sure was a team. There was also a villains team, but they weren't really a team. It was really just one guy who had some guys that sort of helped him sometimes. Yeah, it was Jaiman Hounsell.

Yeah. I think. Yes. That's him. Okay, great. And a bunch of other... Oh, what's his name from... He does the martial arts.

Tony Jaa. Oh, is that Tony Jaa? Oh, it's bloody Tony Jaa. There you go. I was sure a few years ago he retired to become like a monk or something. Oh, yes. Like for real. But I guess he's back.

Do you feel like he's like, well, the raid are doing what I was doing, but getting more traction. I'm going to come back. Tony Jaa's going to open a can of Tony Jaa on people. Oh, yes. A jar of Tony Jaa. Yes. Yeah, and et cetera, et cetera. The cast is good.

I think they work well together. They've got a good kind of chemistry. You can see that they like each other, or it appears that way. You've got some bloody, what's his name, Kurt Russell. Yep, surprise Kurt Russell. Didn't see that coming.

Another part of the story is they want to get the God's Eye, which is basically a machine that can hack into any cell phone, computer, camera, voice system, ATM, whatever. The thing from The Dark Knight, except on a larger scale. Yes, and so you can track anybody in seconds anywhere in the world. Right, yeah. So they need to get that to find Jason Statham's face and then punch it.

I would just like to point out that, and we'll get into more specifics, the plot doesn't make any sense. No, it doesn't. It makes no sense at all. Well, look, before we get into that, the stunts, right? Yes. This is what people go to these things for.

You can jam your plot, mate. Yeah, thank you. Thank you for putting me in my place. The stunts, right? Yes. This is what people go to these things for. Yep. You can jam your plot, mate. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you for putting me in my place. Sometimes it takes the family to put somebody in their place. You're absolutely right. Is it too ridiculous? Did you find them too ridiculous?

No, I thought they were really good. Okay. I kind of... I mean, obviously these guys are indestructible. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Except for The Rock. And there is... Turns out.

And again, we'll get to it. I'll note it down. There are some points where clearly it's intended to be oh this is a really tense scene yeah and then we'll reveal later on that probably wasn't any need for tension kind of later we'll get to we'll get to specifics but sure like it's kind of it's kind of this kind of some fake tension yeah sure kind of thing yeah yeah Well, the first action scene, I guess, is sort of that race. Yep, uh-huh, yep. I think they feel like we should do a street race. Surprise Iggy Azalea cameo.

Yeah. It's weird. She's not a good actor, turns out. And also keeps that weird American accent when she's not rapping. I was not aware of that. I thought that she didn't. That's what I'm saying. Maybe the character in the movie keeps that voice. movie yeah because i'm sure i've seen her interviewed

and what she does she's from bloody mullum bimby maze i know nothing of mullum bimby except my friend ryan's from mullum bimby i heard it's a shithole yeah he says that your your family ride yeah yeah my family i'm sorry yeah so there's so i feel like they're like, we should put a street race in this. Yeah. Because that's what it was. I don't know if you remember or know,

but that's initially what it was, like a legal street racing with sometimes stealing things. Right. And so the series has sort of evolved to weird crazy heists. Yeah. Well, the only one who was, like Paul Walker was a cop or an FBI agent. Yeah.

And he initially went undercover to get Vin Diesel to stop him. Who was just a guy doing street races. Yeah, to stop him being so fast and furious. Yeah, absolutely, yeah. Which he did. And then Vin Diesel disappeared till the end of three. Because he made a cameo at the end of Tokyo Drift to get the rights of Riddick,

which I think I mentioned before. Oh, yeah, okay, yeah. And then he came back for four, which is no good, and then five and six, which are pretty good. Okay. So, yeah, that was great. But there's, I guess, the plane scene. That was the one where they dropped out of the plane.

Yep. What did you think of that? Because they actually did drop planes out and parachute them. Looked pretty good. Yeah. Because they really did it. Because they really did it. Exactly, yeah.

And it was nice to see, I don't know like like vin diesel's just stoic like he's like again for a guy who just did illegal street racing for a while it's interesting that he can hurl himself out of a plane assuming that the parachute's gonna he's just like that's what i'm doing it's like don't worry the gps will trigger the thing whatever yeah how do you even land that on a road like you can't steer a parachute from inside a car. You cannot. The wheel doesn't work, Mason. That's true.

Yeah. Yeah, again, nonsensical looks pretty good, though. You have to suspend disbelief. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah. Have you ever parachuted it? No, and I won't. Because you don't want to parachute your pants?

Yeah, very good. My feeling has always been, like, I always get the sense that I would be out there and I'd be fallen and I'd pull the shoe and it wouldn't work. And then I'd pull the backup shoot and it wouldn't work. And I'd just be like, well, I did this,

didn't I? I paid 500 bucks or whatever it is to short my life by several decades. Great stuff. And then I just said, several decades. You're very ambitious. Yeah. 200 years.

So I wouldn't is, is basically what I'm saying. The first time you mentioned that you pull the ripcord, you're covered in spiders. You pull the ripcord again, you catch fire. Yeah. Yeah. And then there's the bit with the bus and whatever and they're trying to catch the bus to get the girl who has the god's eye.

Yep, great. So there's that. I thought that was solid. And that was clearly the only action scene that paul walker was there for right yeah because that's the only one where you really see him up close and there's a lot of paul walker hand-to-hand stuff okay because he's hand-to-hand stuff at the end and i may be wrong but it's kind of in the dark and you don't really see it and the stuff in the building where they leaked the car from buildings he's saying he was not there for that

if a lot of that he wasn't. That's it. Wow. Yeah. I mean, because I think knowing going in, and I found that incredibly distracting. They did a good job. Yeah, okay. But I'm like, is this real? And I spent the whole time looking for the edges.

Oh, okay, right. I didn't do that. So. You just got carried away in the movie Magic. Absolutely, I did. Well, I feel the special effects were good enough, and the visual effects were good enough, that I always just, like I thought that same thing, feel the special effects were good enough and the visual effects were good enough that I always just...

Like, I thought that same thing, but the whole time I'm like, I'm glad they have enough footage of him to string it all together. At no point was I like, well, they must have digitally added his face here or whatever. I was just like, well, they must have filmed these sequences

and they've just cut together what they had kind of thing. I feel like the first notable bit of him not being in it was the first time you see him when he's putting his kid in the car or one of the first times and then that explosion

goes off and whatever that's in the trailer right right that I feel I was like I may be wrong and maybe that's just me seeing something

that's not there but yeah like yeah and again I'm glad that this movie these movies have been really successful so they have a decent budget

if they didn't trying to insert paul walker in with it like a 20 50 million dollar budget or whatever would have looked like garbage would have looked like tron legacy i like tron legacy with the jeff bridges face no i still didn't mind it you know what it's a weird computer man exactly that's why i think it works except for the scene where you see jeff bridges in the past oh yeah he's still a weird computer man. Yeah, fair enough. But I think they should have probably made him a little bit more purposefully computer-y for that to work.

Oh, I see, yeah. You know what I mean? So then when you look at him in the... Anyway, yeah, no, okay. I like the... You know what, I didn't like... Jeff Bridges was good in Iron Man, and the big Lebowski.

All of those things he's been good in, yes. I liked... I don't know if I liked it so much, but, you know, they had to put the part where Paul Walker is like, I'm just adjusted to being a regular guy. Yeah. But I love being fast and furious. He loves the bullets.

Yeah, there was a fun visual gag where it's, you know, we see the street. This is really early on. But we see, you know, the street race happen. Yeah. And then we see Paul Walker clearly getting ready to- To street race. To street race.

And then it turns out he's in a minivan and he just hops one foot in traffic. Yeah. It's kind of fun. I like that bit. Where he's dropping off his kid. I think that was initially going to be a subplot of him struggling with being a father and being too fast, too furious. Oh, sure, yeah.

And then at the end, he's like, I can do both. I'd imagine that that's where that was going to go, because they weren't going to retire Paul Walker, which we'll talk about in a bit. The other action sequence, before we get into spoilers, jumping a car from a building to another building. Is that in the trailer? Yes, it is. Okay, great, yeah.

That was a little CGI-y, I found. Yeah, you're right, yeah. Especially with the bit, we'll talk about that later. Did they do any of that live? a little CGI-y, I found. Yeah, you're right, yeah. Especially with the bit... We'll talk about that later. Uh-huh. And then... Did they do any of that live? Did they build a... Did they build, like, a parking structure

and drive it off the thing, or...? I'd imagine they probably did some of it live. Okay, right. But I'd probably not. And then at the end, of course, the bit in LA where all the family

were banding together. Yeah, band family. Yeah. Anyway, we kind of talked about CGI Paul Walker. Oh, the punch-ups. What did you think of the punch-ups? Pretty good. Little quick cutting, band family. Yeah. Anyway, we kind of talked about CGI Paul Walker. Oh, the punch-ups. What did you think of the punch-ups?

Pretty good. Little quick cutting, I found. Yeah. I thought the Paul Walker fist fight with Tony Jaa in the truck. Where he opened a jar of Tony Jaa. Yeah, where jars of Tony Jaa got opened. I thought that was very good. Yeah.

Enjoyable, yeah. Very solid. What about the Michelle Rodriguez one? Yeah, also good. With Ronda Rousey. Yeah, yeah. That was cool, too. That was great, yeah. Yeah. Both What about the Michelle Rodriguez one? Yeah, also good with Ronda Rousey. Yeah, yeah, that was cool too. That was great, yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Both of those guys can clearly throw down. Girls, sorry, because they're girls, aren't they? Correct, yeah. I wonder if Ronda Rousey has to, like if she's had to adjust from actually punching, like if it's difficult to adjust from actually punching people to like... Not killing someone.

Not killing someone instantly, yeah. Like Michelle Rodriguez looks pretty tough, just generally. Sure. But imagine if Ronda Rousey hit her really hard, she'd die immediately. Like, she's an actor. Yeah. She seems pretty tough, but she's an actor.

Ronda Rousey would kill her in one punch. Yeah, well, Ronda Rousey is like pure muscle. Yeah. Michelle Rodriguez only has movie muscles. You should say that to her face. I will. But yeah, no, I think that, you know, at no point was I like,

oh, well, clearly this is an actor versus a real MMA fighter. There's no way this would work. It's staged well enough. It is, yeah. That looks pretty good. Yeah, it does. You're absolutely right. All right, we're getting into spoilers.

So if you don't want to know anything about this movie. Yep. Anyway, I'm going to say best movie ever. Yeah, I agree. Yeah, it was fun. It's super fun. It's super fun. Yeah.

But we'll come back to that or not because we've said it. Okay, so look. Good start. Okay. Okay, the God's Eye, right? Yep. And this ties into the first big action scenes with the plane. Yep.

Where they drop out of the plane. They want to get the God's Eye because they want to find Jason Stathatham right the problem is jason statham is literally everywhere yep so say they're trying to get onto that bus yep to get the god's eye to get jason statham if statham rolls up in a specialized buggy which he has yeah yeah out of nowhere yeah shouldn't they be like stop let's not go for the bus let's's go for this guy. Yeah, yeah. Because there's one of him and there's a family of us. Yeah, yeah. Or if Kurt Russell was like, we'll give you all the equipment you want.

You'd be like, can I have 10 rocket launchers, please? And then when Jason Statham inevitably shows up, you hit his little buggy with 10 rocket launchers, right? And then he's dead. Yeah. It's fine. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, they're all loose cannons and they're all bloody are any of

them not loose cannons i guess tyrese is not as much as a loose cannon no he's a really he's the loosest cannon there is he didn't want to jump out of that bloody plane mate that's what i'm saying he's a loose he's loose cannon in that way and then he doesn't want to do things yeah so it goes both ways yeah exactly but he's the wild card you don't know what he's going to do. Okay. Yeah. How did he get back? Who knows? But anyway, the point is that, like, they're there for their fam, obviously.

Yeah. So surely, yeah, you're right. As soon as Jason Statham shows up, they should have just been like, This is the guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's get this guy. Also, if we're talking about action sequences, the sequence where he fights The Rock at the start is very good it is isn't very enjoyable yeah very well staged uh good cancer good interesting camera work yes like

you know when one of them the table and and when he's smashing the table and the camera goes with it or whatever or there's a point where uh you know it looks like statham is on the ropes kind of thing and he jumps up and he grabs the lighting fixture and he hits the rock in the face with it. That's pretty, pretty good. Yeah. Yeah.

And that, that was, that felt, even though I feel like the rock was much stronger than Jason Statham. Again, it felt like that. Statham does feel like. Very dangerous.

Yeah. Like an actual SAS kind of guy. Yeah, he does. So that's good. Yeah. Yeah. You're absolutely right.

Anyway, but yeah, plot wise, nonsense. Okay. Yeah. Here's, that's the thing.

Like these guys, and I, again, haven't seen any of the previous ones, they do not seem averse to killing people when it's necessary. Do you mean anybody? Pretty much, yeah. Well, the family. Yeah, you're right, because there's some times when, say, with that bit with the bus, they throw a guy out and he rolls and they drive out of the way of him.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Next guy just goes under the wheel or off a cliff or explodes or whatever. So they don't have a problem with just killing people, the cannon fodder, et cetera. Yeah. But for some reason they seem really intent on bringing Statham to justice. Yes. Even though he's killed, they killed Han,

which I guess is their Tokyo Drift mate. Yeah, he was great. He was really good. Tokyo Drift guy. They've attempted to kill his child and his wife or whatever and there's especially when they go up in the building in dubai yes dubai yeah it's dubai so they acquire they can't they want to get the god's eye chip yeah they can't get it out of the car so they steal the car yes they come out of the the vault thing. Jason Statham is right there. Yes. He's shooting at them.

Yes. They don't run him over. They didn't ask for those rocket launchers either, did they? Yeah, that's right. Like, they clip him with the car. Yeah. He lives. And then they have to go and track him down again over several more countries.

And he's shooting at them. Yes. And I think- And that car is bulletproof? Yeah, but I think- Did they specify that? Yeah, it is. But I think they made- I think they added that to the script. Yes. And I think... And that car is bulletproof? Yeah, but I think... Did they specify that? Yeah, it is, but I think they made... I think they added that to the script

so it would seem unfair if they killed him. Because if the car wasn't... If you're in a car that was not bulletproof, somebody was shooting at you, you would be entirely justified to run them over and kill them. But if your car's bulletproof, it seems unfair to do that. So they just have to clip him and then they leave and then they have to

chase him down again. So instead of killing Jason Statham, they'll leap between two buildings. Correct. Yeah. But there's a whole bunch

of like the, exactly, the sequence on the truck or whatever. They had so many opportunities to kill him, these people who don't mind killing people.

And there's the ultimate bad guy, they don't do anything with him and it has to end in a fist fight. Absolutely. Well, you mentioned before there was a scene that, in particular, that doesn't make sense killing people and there's the ultimate bad guy they don't do anything with him and it has to end in a fist fight absolutely yeah well you mentioned before there was a scene that in particular

that doesn't make sense because of tension oh yeah what were you referring to the sequence with the truck yeah you know there's the buggy seat

you know Statham and Vin Diesel are chasing each other in buggies or whatever Vin Diesel's like I've got this yeah and it's all you know

there's a lot of danger in what's going to happen. Yeah. You know, is Vin Diesel going to die or whatever? And then at the end, Vin Diesel's cornered by the bad guys. And he just drives the car off the side of a cliff and the car has an indestructible roll cage in it. So he could have done that at any point. It would have been fine.

He's in no danger at any point. What I love about that scene is, he's like, they've got him cornered and he goes, don't worry, I've got this. Yep. And then he just drives off the cliff. Yeah. Like, that's not having things under control, is it?

Absolutely not. I feel like, like, it's like if he was a real human being, that would have killed both of them. Yeah. Like, I've got this does not constitute driving off a cliff. No, it doesn't. He would have had a different plan. I thought he had something else. Well, and also because that car. I thought he had something else. Well, and also because that car...

I thought he had another parachute or something. Yeah. Because that car has two extra wheels on the back. It does too. What were they for? Does that car just come with two extra wheels? I guess so. Great.

Yeah. I'm trying to think of something. Okay. And there's also the bit where they crash their cars together. Yep. Which is dumb. Yeah. And then Vin Diesel's like, you've reinforced crash their cars together, which is dumb. And then Vin Diesel's like, you've reinforced your car, that's cheating. All of this is cheating.

All of this is nonsense and cheating. Why is that? Yeah, exactly. And again, there's the mirror to that at the end where they crash their cars together, but Vin Diesel's got American muscle with the hop thing. And then he comes out and he's got the shotgun yeah and then just shoot him

yes this is how like you're okay with killing Jaimon Honsu with a bag full of hand grenades but you don't want

to kill Jaimon why not just kill him it's fine he's gonna kill you you know why my point is that how do you think this is? You've got two wrenches or whatever.

You're going to beat him to death. What's the difference? Are you going to beat him until he's 99% dead and then give him to the cops? I guess so. What's the point? I don't know. Yeah. I can't answer that question.

But it's just how these movies have to go. Yeah, you're right. This kind of action movie is you have to, they have to be intent on bringing them to justice until there's literally no option other than to kill them. To kill, yeah. I feel like they kept him alive just so they can bring the Shaw brothers back for the next one.

Yeah, exactly. That's what that is. Yeah, they're going to team up. See, when I did my review, I felt the same way. I'm like, I enjoyed it, but it's so dumb. And I also said this in my review. People say, switch your brain off and just enjoy it. I like thinking about these things and being like, well, that's dumb.

But then I kind of enjoy it more. And I don't know what it is about these films, but I find that more forgiving. I'm like, yeah, I know what this is. You're right, exactly. And yet, for Transformers, I've got a question here from Rabia. A lot of people find the Fast and Furious films on the same level as Transformers and wonder why they aren't as universally hated as they are.

Do you agree? Whatever. I find the Transformers films, maybe it's the characters or the action scenes that just go forever. It is the action sequences that go forever. It's the action sequences that go forever. It's the fact that these are hyper-advanced robots that act like children for some reason. That is annoying.

Like, these guys can be idiots because they're family from the streets. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. So that's the answer to that question, I guess. Yeah, exactly. And yeah, these action sequences, they might be dumb, but they're snappy.

Yeah, you're right. You're absolutely right. If you don't like the idea that there's a drone flying around, a weird CGI drone flying around watching missiles, in 10 minutes that sequence is over, so it's fine. But with any of the Transformers movies, the last battle sequence lasts 40 minutes. And so if you're not on board at the start,

you are exhausted by the end of it. Yes, that's right. But this one, if you don't like the car chase, wait 10 minutes, then there's a fist fight or a wrench fight. Exactly. You're exactly right. I got some things that I wanted to ask you about. I'm ready. Now, at the end, they thought, how are we going to beat Statham?

We're going to bring him to the city where we live and endanger literally everybody. Oh, sure, yeah. Like, you could have taken him to the desert or a forest where they were or a big building. Or a city they don't like. Like, I don't know, Boston. They probably hate people from Boston. Or Mullumbimby.

Mullumbimby, yeah, exactly. Plenty of pubs to hide behind, I assume. It's probably a commercial hotel. Do you know what I mean? I know because we've got the home advantage, but that's incredibly selfish. You're not that important as people to justify killing so many civilians. And cops as well. Is the audience of Fast and Furious people that hate cops?

Maybe. Like street racers kind of. Yeah, exactly. Do you think people would have been like yeah dead cops when the drone blows up the cop cars or whatever i'm sure there would have been people but i mean yeah exactly vin diesel hey vin remember when he killed those cops just shoot him come on what about this did vin diesel get married in a in white suit pants and a white singlet yes he did.

Or wife beater, as American friends would say. You're right. Yeah, you're absolutely right. Yeah, that's odd. Yeah. Is that all he had at the time? I guess it was. That's his thing, though. Yeah.

I guess. Just button up a shirt, man. Come on. I know, come on. It's a special day. Yeah. Yeah. Did Michelle Rodriguez bring Vin Diesel back to life with words?

Or was he faking it? No, because they were CPRing him, which I assume meant they checked his pulse. Yeah, yeah. And his heart wasn't working. Because she was like, get off him. I've got this. Yeah, right. Let me just talk to him.

I guess the sequence must have been like, I think they must have gotten his heart going. And it's just like, get off him. And they're like, no, he's fine, though. It's fine. I don't know. It wasn't even a great pep talk, really. No, get off him. And they're like, no, he's fine though. It's fine. I don't know. It wasn't even a great pep talk, really. No, it wasn't.

It was like, I remember everything because I was in the elevator. Great. Okay. The bit where Tyrese Gibson has to distract everybody in Dubai. Yeah. And he goes, oh, guess what, everybody? It's this girl's birthday. And Ludacris goes, oh my God, he's doing the birthday routine. Yeah. And he goes, oh, guess what, everybody? It's this girl's birthday. Yeah.

And Ludacris goes, oh, my God, he's doing the birthday routine. Yeah. Is that something that he has done multiple times? Yeah, it must be. Yeah. Yeah. Pretend it's somebody's birthday. Yeah.

Until security attack him. Yeah. So is that, that's like a play of his. Yeah, that's his thing. Yeah. He's a loose cannon. He's a wild card. That's not being a wild card if you're doing the birthday routine every time.

Yeah, good point. He's not a very good wild card. No, he's not. He's playing the same card. Okay, I've got this and then driving off a cliff. Okay, Vin Diesel... This line happened, right, where Vin Diesel says,

that's the thing about a street fight, the street always wins. I remember that. And then he kicks the street and the street disintegrates. Yep. Also, is his knowledge of the street so vast that he knows when you kick the street, it will break the other guy's street. It won't destroy your street and you will fall into a pit. No, his structural integrity, because he knows those streets.

He knows those streets so well. You're right. Yeah. Do you think people in the audience like in Los Angeles are like, yeah, streets. We got this. Streets.

That's pretty great. Did, what about- And again, he's letting him fall to his death, presumably. That was, yeah. So just shoot him earlier on. He was fine at the end.

Yeah. He just walked in there like it was nothing. What kind of prison was that? He's got a crank heart. He does have his crank heart. You're right. What kind of prison was that at the end? I would go further back and say,

what secret organization does Kurt Russell work for? Because it's not the CIA. I don't know. They have a lot of corona, though. They do have so much Corona. Just on air. Oh, boy. That was one of my favourite bits.

Oh, try this Belgian beer or whatever. Oh, no, I like Corona. Bang. Bucket of Coronas. But that's because he'd read his file and he knew he loved Coronas. You just said... How many times did Vin Diesel say Corona, though?

Not as many as you'd think. I reckon it was at least six. I reckon it was four times maximum okay somebody email in yeah does he love Coronas and all the other movies yeah it's a big selling point and the way even in the way he drinks a beer like he grips it so you can like a fish so which nobody drinks a beer like that you might grab by the top you don't grip it like a like a monkey right you know diesel does I feel like Vin Diesel's

lost some muscle definition between like look at the first one look at the new one. Yeah because he's wearing long sleeve shirts. Yeah. Yeah.

That's why he could get married in a tank top in four or five or whatever it was. He didn't get married that hasn't been seen. Ah. As far as I know.

Like they secretly got married. Ah. Well that's not much of a... So what they've had to do... I might be wrong. I might be wrong. You might be wrong, but you're probably right because this movie didn't make any sense.

What is happening here is in order to... We're like, how are we going to get her to get her memory back? We don't know how. Let's pretend they got married and that's the linchpin to Ferhuti. There was not another memorable sequence between them back we don't know how let's pretend they got married and that's the linchpin to 30 there was not another memorable sequence between them in the previous six movies that they could use to get her memory back okay to manufacture a marriage which is weird because it could also imply that vin diesel

has made it up right it's entirely possible like she's like she remembered it though right she's like oh i don't i got no memories And then she goes to sleep every night And Vin Diesel sneaks in her room And is like We got married We got married We got married We got married

Family I wore a wife beater Wife beater Wife beater And then Then it's just She got inceptioned She did didn't she

Yeah Yeah good point Wow that's That's pretty deep right Yeah that's right So I feel like in these movies now Because depending on the movie, sometimes they're criminals,

sometimes they're police. Sometimes they're the police, sometimes they're in the Secret Service. Yeah, I feel like now they're going to be like, for any kind of car-based heist, they're going to work for Kurt Russell from now on. Oh, interesting. Did you like the bit where they're like,

this is Kurt Russell's time to shine, puts on night vision goggles, kills three people, gets shot. Yeah, I thought that... I don't know, is Kurt Russell's time to shine. Puts on night vision goggles, kills three people, gets shot. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Is that a throwback to one of it?

Like, is that an homage to one of his characters? If anybody, it's maybe, no, that's not Plissken. He ran a snake Plissken t-shirt. A snake Plissken t-shirt.

That's awesome. Pretty good, right? I wore that to the cinema because I wear all my clothes multiple days in a row. Did anybody notice? No, nobody noticed, but I'm like, I sort of sunk down to my seat. I wear all my clothes multiple days in a row. Did anybody notice? No, nobody noticed, but I sort of sunk down in my seat. I'm like, oh, surprise, Kurt Russell.

This is embarrassing. I look like I'm the world's biggest Kurt Russell fan. Nobody knows who Snake Plissken is. I think you're okay. No, I don't think so. He looked like his character from Death Proof. Could have been that guy. Yeah.

That lunatic. Yeah, I don't know he was anyone in particular. I love Kurt Russell, though. He's great. He's really good. It's weird that he was not in the Expendables movies. Yeah. That lunatic. Yeah, I don't know he was anyone particular. I love Kurt Russell, though. He's good, yeah. He's great. He's really good. It's weird that he was not in the Expendables movies. Yeah, you're right.

I've never seen Big Trouble in Little Chinatown. It's great. It's Big Trouble in Little China. Oh. Thank you. Am I thinking of Chinatown? You're thinking of Chinatown, yeah. Which also has Kurt Russell.

Correct. Thank you. Moving on. All right. Moving on. Yep, good. All right. Well, look, before we wrap this up,

did you think this was a fitting send-off for Paul Walker? I know people have cried at that end sequence. I think it was a fitting end sequence for Paul Walker, but then they made that end sequence for Paul Walker and it got a bit too schmaltzy. Yeah, I found that as well. I think if he just, they'd just seen him on the beach or whatever,

and then maybe everybody in their cars and drove away. Sure. And then maybe they had a look and they were like, yeah. And he just flies to heaven? Yeah, he flies into heaven like the car in Greece. But yeah, I think they could have just, they get in their cars, they're both with their fam. Sure.

And then they go, well, I'll see you later, whatever, and they drive off and they just look. But to have them just, you know, they both leave and then Paul Walker leaves his family on the beach. I guess so. And then did his family bring two cars is my question. Because they get in the car. He goes.

Yeah, he just drives off on the highway. Where's he going? Is there an off ramp? And he just goes all the way. He's like, oh, I've got to take the long way down. He goes. Yeah, he just drives off on the highway. Where's he going? Is there an off ramp? And he just goes all the way. He's like, oh, I've got to take the long way down. He does a loop, yeah. No, I don't know. I feel like they didn't telegraph that end well either.

Because they were like, you're thinking about getting out. Yeah. But there was never a point where Paul Walker said, I have to stop this because I've got a family. Right, right, right. And I felt if you didn't know that he was dead, that would have made fuck all sense. You're right. Yeah, that's absolutely true. Yeah. this because i've got a family right and i felt if you didn't know that he was dead yeah that would have made fuck all sense you're right yeah that's absolutely true yeah i mean and it was nice

like seeing him with his family and whatever yeah like that was really nice that's for that's for the viewers that's for the the family yeah who's watched all seven fast and furious movies it's not okay it's not for your casual yeah yeah like you. Like you, you bloody come in number seven. Yeah. Like if I didn't know, exactly. If I didn't know Paul Walker was dead, I'd be like, what? I'd be like, were they a couple in the previous movies? Is that what's happening here?

Cause. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. I mean, that's fine, but. Yeah. Whatever's bad. Yeah. But yeah, I feel like it was, it was nice, but I feel like you probably didn't need the

bit on the beach where they're all sitting there going, it time for Paul Walker to leave or whatever yeah and then the additional bit where they drive they go their separate ways I think you could have had one of those things because it makes no sense if he left his family yeah it's like on the beach on the beach boy when is he coming back yeah oh we're gonna reapply sunscreen but it's all in the car this is oh yeah I also found in scenes as well Paul Walker's hair changed length because of his brothers. Because a lot of the times it was his brothers with his face put on them. Oh, interesting.

Which is super weird when you think about it. Yeah, yeah. Are they actors? No. No. I think they're all younger than him from memory. But yeah, look, it was. And it was nice that, you know, for Paul thing at the end and whatever.

And, you know, and obviously they're not going to bring him back for any other ones, I imagine, even in a small... How on earth? Exactly. I mean, but I feel like in ten years you could, convincingly. Right, okay, yeah. I don't think they should. No, absolutely not.

But I feel like they could. Yeah. But, I mean, ten years people, sadly, will have forgotten who he is, I guess. I don't think so. I think he's going to James Dean it. Oh, okay. Yeah. Fair enough.

Name five James Dean movies. I can't. Exactly. Rebel Without a Cause. That's All I Got. Yeah, I can't name five. Island of Dr. Moreau. I know that's Marlon Brando.

Don't send emails. No, I feel like he's going to become more of a kind of an icon. Maybe not to the same extent, but yeah. Yeah, okay. It sucks he's dead. I think he's got a big enough fan. You're probably right that he's got a big enough fan base that that would happen, yeah. I'm not saying it will.

Right. I'm saying it's possible. Okay. Yeah. I'd rather it didn't. I feel like it'd be more like there's a picture of him. Yeah. And they're like, remember Paul Walker?

And they're like, yeah, we, yeah. He drove into the sky or whatever. Yeah. Or they might be, if they do Fast and Furious 8, and I'm sure they will, because it's like a good $10. Yeah, that's doing it. Maybe there'll be like, maybe like there'll be a cell phone call or something like that or a Skype call or something.

Mm-hmm. And it'll be like, it'll be like, hey, we're doing this mission. And he's like, look how many kids I have now, kind of thing. And they'd be like, well, see ya. Do you miss the bullets? He's like, yeah. Yeah. Who misses being shot at?

No, yeah. I guess people do. All right, well, I guess I'm going to stick with best movie ever. I think if you're not on board for any of this stuff, steer clear. Steer very well clear, yeah. Yeah, but if you kind of enjoy these things, yeah, then continue to enjoy them. Yeah.

I'm going to go back and watch five and six. Yeah, well, I've been saying you should do that. I know. And you did nothing but yell at me. Correct. I've actually thought I'd include a new section this week, if you'd permit it. Okay.

I've given it a name. Oh, yes. It's called Hate Mail, but there's an eight in the hate. In the word. Because there's eight of them. There's eight hate mails. Is that the entire name of the segment? Correct. Hate Mail, but there's an eight in the hate in the word because there's eight of them there's eight is that is that the entire name of the segment correct hates male but there's an eight in the hate great okay i'm on board now

also just spoiler alert there's more than eight oh sure okay now are these emails we've been sent no these are comments that people made on my fast and furious review i called it best movie ever but i was like this is super dumb. And it is. I'm right. But I, you know. You can enjoy things that are dumb. Absolutely you can.

Iggy Azalea. I don't know if you can enjoy Iggy Azalea. I have no knowledge of Iggy Azalea. I know that song Fancy. Oh yeah, I know that one. But the only bit people like in that song. Is the rap. No, the other bit that isn't the rap by Charlie XCX xx or whatever you're absolutely right okay this is from christian this review is irrelevant and

stupid furious 7 is one of the best movies off all time yes it is unrealistic but that's what makes it fun to watch because you don't know what comes next seems fairly reasoned this is from the gaming melon also he's clearly missed the part where you said it was the best movie ever or whatever yeah and you said it was fun so good the gaming melon says this film is amazing whoever commented in this video should fuck off don't diss this film like you did moron look he's he's not wrong is he excel i fucking hate you great good straight up edgar who fucking cares what you think about the movie? I'm going to the theatre to have fun.

It's cats. All in cats? Right, yep, good. Vazza, this guy's a fucking dick. Yep. Christopher, Mr. Sunday Movies, you're a shitty little thing. I hate you. I thought you'd like this segment.

Yeah, it's really good. I have fun. I hate you. Fast and Furious 7 is the's really good i have fun i hate you fast and furious 7 is the best movie ever which i said yeah you literally said those words that's amazing um i would be interested to know if the people who are commenting here are also just commenting the same more or less the same thing on every other video like they just cut and paste yeah not at all i mean not cut and paste. Yeah, not at all. I mean, not cut and paste. They wouldn't understand Control-C, Control-V, but they would type it out again multiple times.

Yeah, for sure. This is from Little Q&A. Oh, yeah. Wow, you didn't pay attention to the story. Maybe, or Mab-why, you would enjoy it, asshole. Sorry, I'm a big fan of the series. I appreciate the apology. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Look, you're a real asshole and you're dumb and you don't get it but the proviso is i really like those films so you you would understand if i'm a bit biased i like that though i appreciate it uh psychotic gaming says shut the fuck up great yusuf says you are gay mel mel says yo, some people have different opinion. Which is true. That's very true. That's quite deep. Bashar says, this is a good moivy and it's a respect to Paul Walker.

And you're saying it's the worst, man. Shut the fuck up. Also a really good point. Last one. You're getting a lot of thumbs down on that video. Yeah, a few. Yeah, probably a bit more than usual. Dan Muncher.

Hey, fuck. Sorry. I'll start over again. Hey, fuck few. Yeah, probably a bit more than usual. Dan Muncher. Hey, fuck. Sorry, I'll start over again. Hey, fuck you. This film is for Paul. If you don't like it, shut up. You probably know shit about the story anyway. I'd say that's fair. And that was hate mail, but the hate hasn't hated us.

Yep, good. For this week. Because of the internet. Because of the internet, yeah. Well, that's Fast and Furious 7. Furious 7. We nailed it. nailed it we did didn't we i'm sure we've forgotten heaps of stuff in that but whatever yeah yeah all right well you know what's time for then oh yeah what we read in what we're gonna read i'm doing the thing what are we reading today? You reading anything? We've seen a lot of comedy.

Why don't you mention a show that you really like? Oh, some shows. The Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Now, you have a lot of comedian friends, so just pick your best one. Yeah, that's a good point. Well, if you're in Melbourne, that's a good question, actually.

I might tie it into YouTube stuff, maybe. Have we talked about Aunty Donna? We have. I've seen Aunty Donna. Yeah, they're great. I like them a lot. They've got a show at the Comedy Festival. Just go to type in auntie donna yeah and auntie auntie donna yeah that's what they say i've got some very funny video clips on youtube yeah check those out uh if you're in melbourne and you want to see some good shows the comedy festival uh ben

russell has a show called tokyo hotel which is sort of a uh you sort of take me this world this bizarre kind of, this run down hotel with a series of strange characters Just him? Just him, one man show Very good. Does he does he do Yellowface? He does not There's no Yellowface You know what, that show

comes with a no Yellowface guarantee Okay. Yeah, he's doing the show till the end of the run Who's good? Anne Edmonds is very funny, she's at the show till the end of the run. Who's good? Anne Edmonds is very funny. She's at the top of her game. Yep. For now.

Yeah. Who knows? Boy. What about Husey? He's losing it. No, I don't know. He's fine. My idea, again, if you're in Melbourne, you've seen the Comedy Festival,

if you like a big name, go see a big name. Yeah. And then maybe see a name you don't know yeah afterwards or beforehand because you know shows an hour long movies are two hours see two shows it's great um yeah alice fraser has a good show this year laura davis has a good show this year bart freebarn has a good show this year our mate tommy dasolo has a good show this year my replacement yeah your replacement tommy das. Yeah. Very, very solid show. Yeah, he's good.

I should go see that, actually. Yeah, and the Little Dum Dum Club, of course, do a show. Or they've done now. They've done some live shows. They do one every Sunday. Okay, cool. So check that out. All right, you will.

Yeah, I will. I think I'm going away next weekend, but I would otherwise. Yeah. Great, awesome. Great, yeah. All right, all of those sound fantastic. What have you been reading this week?

Well, I haven't seen any comedy yet, but I will. It's my plan this week. I'm reading Rage of Ultron, which is a... Oh, yes, which is the sequel to Age of Ultron. Sort of, yeah. So it's basically... I've only just started. Every time I go to pick it up...

Oh, Simon Keck is doing a show. Oh, he is really good. Yeah, he did a show called Knob Happy Sock about suicide a couple of years ago, which is very dark, but very good. He won an award for it, and he's doing a show this year called Eating Tiger Dicks. So see that? It's real nice.

So he covers a lot of different kind of ground. Yeah, he sure does. Very diverse. Okay, great. Rage of Ultron. Oh, yeah. I'm sure I've missed a lot of – maybe next week I'll say some more shows. I hope your comedy friends are real angry at you.

Yeah. I'm sure I've missed literally dozens of people whose shows I've seen and enjoyed and who I'm personal friends with who will get mad. But they'll never listen to this, so who cares? Yeah, in their face. Yeah, in all of their faces. Yeah, so Rage of Ultron, it's the current Avengers. So, you know, the Falcons, Captain America,

female Thor and whatever. Ultron basically returns. That's where I'm up to. So every time I go to pick it up, something happens. Like it explodes or whatever. I thought you meant in your life. Every time I go to pick it up, something happens. Like it explodes or whatever. I thought you meant in your life. Every time I go to pick this up, something happens.

There's an explosion. I can't read it. I don't have time. That's what that's... Always dealing with explosions. So many explosions. Yeah. But yeah, because, you know,

it's been Easter. Oh, happy Easter, I guess. Great. Good work. Good work. This is our Easter episode. What's your favorite Easter movie? Hop.

That's the only one I can think of. That's the only one, yeah. Yeah. I've also... I've got DC... Imagine if the Die Hard movies were set? Hop. That's the only one I can think of. That's the only one, yeah. Yeah, I've also got DC Convergence. Imagine if the Die Hard movies were set on Easter. They wouldn't. Yeah, yeah. Put some grenades in some eggs or something. Exactly.

You know what I'm talking about. I do. Yeah. Hop, hop, hop. Now I have a machine gun. Yeah, it works. Yeah, it definitely works, right? Yeah.

I've also got DC Convergence, which I haven't read, because they're starting that big event where they're merging universes or something. Great. I don't know what it is exactly. I've also got DC Convergence, which I haven't read. Because they're starting that big event where they're merging universes or something. Great. I don't know what it is exactly. I don't understand it. I'm going to try to at some point. Sure.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Also, I'm on Plumbing the Death Star this week. Oh, yes. Why does The Flash keep putting people in a prison? Yeah, that is a good point. So, that's literally out right now. Yeah.

So, if you go to Plumbing the Death Star on iTunes, that'll be there. Great. Yeah. So, that's what I'm reading. Oh, also, there's a Batman motion comic by Milan Jeftik. No, sorry. He is Milan Jeftik. But his YouTube channel is The Russian Comic Book Geek.

And it's Batman Year Zero, which was a very good Scott Snyder run. And he's done like a 40-minute video where it's all voiced. Yep. And it goes from panel to panel and whatever. And he's got a whole lot of different people doing it. And it's done like a 40-minute video where it's all voiced. Yep. And it goes from panel to panel and whatever. And he's got a whole lot of different people doing it. And it's very good. Good, I guess. Like, you know, some are good and some are not good.

Yes. This one's very good. Watchmen comic. I know you love the Watchmen one. Not as good. Yeah, but this is great. So Russian comic book geek. Yeah, yeah.

All those things are great. And see some comedy. Yep. David Keck. I've thought of more ones. Adam Knox. Listen closely. We haven't much time. Very good. He's a young guy doing some. Yep. David Keck. I've thought of more ones. Adam Knox. Listen closely. We haven't much time.

Very good. He's a young guy doing some good stuff. Xavier Michaelides. Show's called Bad Accents and Inconsistent Mimes. He's doing a best of show. Like his best stand up. Okay. Real good.

All right. Real good. Anyone else? That's about it. All right. You know what? Email them. Tell them Mesa Senior. They'll probably give you a discount or something.

They won't. No. Or they'll send me an angry email. One of those two. Because you're making promises. Stop offering discounts. Jonestown,

good sketch comedy show. Oh, okay. Unfortunate name. There's a massacre there. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Did they do that on purpose? Yeah, they did.

Okay. Yeah. It's all I got, but I'll have more next week. Sure. No worries. Well, you know what's time for then? It's also letters time.

Oh, I love letters. Do you? They're fine. Yeah, you know what it's time for then. It's also letters time. Oh, I love letters. Do you? They're fine. Yeah, you're indifferent. Are you ever going to... This is from Bill from New Jersey, the official over-caffeinated medical student of the podcast. Right.

Are we ever going to see Agent Coulson in another Marvel movie? I know he's still alive in the MCU on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., but I couldn't sit through more than two episodes of that show, which is more than enough time to determine that however he was brought back to life was going to be stupid and unsatisfying. Alien blood DNA brains. Fair. Fair assessment. Would they ever bring him back in a Marvel movie

where the majority of the audience is more casual fans of the MCU and would be confused that this guy who died in the first Avengers movie is back for some reason? Anyways, I hope you get around to reading this email. If there's any chance to give me a shout out, wishing me luck on my test on the 20th, I would appreciate it. Good luck on whatever that test is. Bad luck. Wow.

All right. Good luck. Yeah. Tests are hard. Medical student, get out of here. That sounds crazy. Anyway, Colson will be back in the movies. Definitely.

Yeah. Do you think people will be confused or do you think that... I think it's enough on TV that even if you don't watch it, there's enough ads for that. Yeah. And also, I reckon there'll be a... If he makes another appearance in The Avengers or whatever. And again, I think people will watch them as they come out. Even casual fans are like,

well, I saw The Avengers, I may as well see bloody bar. I think there'll probably just be a throwaway line. Where's you dead? Yeah, he'll be in... It's like alien blood, brain, DNA. Yeah, exactly. They'll do a Joss Whedon style. They'll just be like,

that was alien blood, whatever. Like, I think, yeah, there'll just be a sequence where he'll show up in a room with the Avengers and everybody who didn't... They don't know he's alive. Right. Except for Fury.

Ah, okay, yeah. Yeah. I think there might be... Or maybe he'll appear on a monitor or something like that. And they'll be like, what?! There'll be a Skype call. They'll be angry. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They'll be like, yeah, look, I think there might be, or maybe he'll appear on a monitor or something like that. And they'll be like, what? There'll be a Skype call.

They'll be angry. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They'll be like, yeah, look, I'm back. Maybe that causes civil war. Or maybe it'll be off panel where they'll be like, hey, we're still mad at you because you said Coulson was dead. Yeah. I mean, he was technically dead, but then alien blood. Oh, yeah.

So he was right, wasn't he? Yeah, he wasn't wrong. Yeah. He did put blood on those cards, though. Yeah, he did. Where'd he get that blood? Coulson. I hope wrong. Yeah. He did put blood on those cards, though. Yeah, he did. Where'd he get that blood? Coulson. I hope so.

Yeah. So, yeah, I don't know. I think we're going to probably see less of him in the movies. You know what I'm thinking? I think I'm done with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. For good. I think I just... It's just not that good.

I'm sorry, everybody who loves it, but it's just... How are we going to do an end-of-season wrap-up? We're not that good. I'm sorry, everybody who loves it, but it's just... How are we going to do an end of season wrap up? We're not. Great. Good. But I feel like, especially if Daredevil, when Daredevil comes out next week, and by all accounts, it's amazing. I cannot watch Daredevil and go back to this.

Right. Okay. Yeah. You know what I mean? Never go back is our motto, even though we do go back. Constantly. Yeah. How about this?

It's not terrible. It's just... It's kind of terrible. Who cares? Yeah. How about this? It's not terrible. It's just... It's kind of terrible. Who cares? Yeah. How about this? When the season ends, we will just determine

what is the best episode of that season. We'll watch that. Okay. We'll judge the entire season based on the best episode. I can do that. Yeah. It's what I do for Doctor Who.

You do do that for Doctor Who. Yeah. Yeah. All right, cool. This is from Aiden. I just thought I'd share this Star Wars related story with you. I was at my brother-in-law's

40th birthday party and it was pretty boring. My parents were talking to this one man and they called me over and said I'd be interested in his Star Wars story. The man who appeared

to be in his late 60s introduced himself as a stormtrooper from A New Hope who banged his head on the door. He was a nice guy, we talked for a while, and he promised me a signed photo. Are those lies and empty promises, Mason? Yes, they are.

You say this guy's lying. Oh, I don't know. You don't know? It's hard to never know. It's impossible to say, yeah. Yeah. Because my first thought was sceptical. But then I also think,

why would somebody lie about that? But then I also think, why would somebody lie about that? But then I think, of course someone would lie about that. Yeah, yeah. I don't know what to make of any of that. Look, yeah, no, I'm just Googling it right now to see if there's any. Okay, so on Wookieepedia, I assume some sort of unofficial Star Wars wiki. You know Wookieepedia. Yeah, I know.

There's a page titled unidentified head bumping storm trooper so look people have given it a lot of thought let's go to this and see what it says thinking time title is conjectural fantastic actual name of this subject is pure conjecture you're right he probably wasn't born with the name unidentified head bumping storm trooper you are correct. Yeah, I mean, it could be. They've said he's a human clone. I don't know if that's true.

He could just be a recruit. I mean, he is a clone of the Fett, of Jango Fett. Some of them are. It's a mix. Right, so that would validate his incompetence. Because he's a Fett, and they're terrible at being bounty hunters and whatever. They actually added a Fett head they're terrible at being bounty hunters and whatever. They actually added a Fett head bump in Attack of the Clones

when, after he fights Obi-Wan in the rain, he gets back on his ship and he bumps his head. Which is... Laurie Good recalls bumping his head

on set as a stormtrooper leading many to believe that he may be hit. Michael Leder also recalls a similar event leading the true identity of this stormtrooper unknown. So if his name was

Laurie Good or Michael Lita, email us back. If it wasn't, liar. Just punch him next time you see him. Yeah, but I'd be very interested to know. Okay. Hey, Jameson. That's a great story, though. I like it.

I know, right? Hey, Jameson. If anybody else from a different area of the world has also been told that story by a different person or the same person. What if it's a guy going around the world telling people that he's that head-bumping stormtrooper? Exactly. And he is or isn't. Yeah. It's like Vin Diesel tricking Michelle Rodriguez into being married.

Correct. Inception you. Hey, Jason Mason. Hello. Fellow Melburnian person here. Oh, yes. Goes to some shows at the Comedy Festival. He doesn't want to.

He says specifically. Long-time listener and love the show. In a recent interview, Charlie Cox, brackets, daredevil, expresses his hopes of one day seeing the one and only stilt man introduced into Netflix's Daredevil. Yes. Hopefully this news renews Mason's hopes of finally seeing his hero, Grace, the TV cinematic universe.

Brackets, but probably not. Happy Easter to you both. Mason, you're not a dickhead.
