Welcome back everybody to another episode of the Weekly Planet, official podcast of comicbookmovie.com where we talk movies and games and comics and TV shows and not games as much. My name is Mr. Sunday and James, two names, with me as always my co-host Nick Mason. Also two names. Two hosts, two names. First name, family name. That's how it works. What's going on?

Nothing, just hanging out. Should we start the podcast with news? Yeah, let's do that. Alright. Break with tradition. You're familiar with the Underworld franchise? Yes. Which of those movies do you like?

The one with Scott Speedman. Is that the first one? I think he's in the first two, and then they CGI his face into it. The one where he turns into a werewolf-vampire hybrid, and it makes no sense. That's one. Great. Then that one. I don't think I've seen two.

Anyway, regardless. It might happen in two as well. Who's to say? They're all very blue, aren't they? They're very blue, yeah. Anyway, Kate Beckinsale. Yes. I always thought it was Beckinsdale, but it's Beckinsale, yeah.

She'll return to the role of Selene. There should be a superhero team composed entirely of people whose names you mispronounce. So Kate Beckinsdale could be on it. Christopher Reeves could be on it. God rest his soul. God rest it. Others? Others.

Others I don't get right. We'll see how we go. Just people who write into this podcast whose names I get wrong. Yeah, they could all be on the team. Anyway, she's going to be in Underworld 5, which begins shooting in October in Prague, or production or something. Does that news article begin with,

yeah, there was a 3 and 4? Surprise! Well, it was sort of... They were released on Betamax. Yeah, 3 was a prequel. They were released on HD DVD. Remember that? I remember that.

Did you ever get any? No. Because you had an Xbox 360, didn't you? Or you do? Oh, it was. Was that HD DVD. Remember that? I remember that. Did you ever get any? No. Because you had an Xbox 360, didn't you? Or you do? I was. Was that HD DVD? I think it was. There you go.

Yeah. No? It was red. Those were red cases. They were red, yeah. Yeah. What do you think the next thing will be? Just digital?

Digital downloads? Because people like having a Blu-ray. You mean what we have now? Yeah. No, I mean like the next thing. You know what I mean? Oh. Like the next format.

What's left? I don't think there's anything left. Laser discs. Oh, laser discs't think there's anything left laser discs oh laser discs will come back bigger laser discs big as the wheel of a bike

wow yeah they'll be called mini discs but it'll be ironic yeah that's right you any interest in Underworld

kind of because if we're up to five that means gets good again yeah like the Fast and Furious movies right it's the point where it's only the fans or whatever,

the hardcore fans, and so they just go nuts with it, right? Actually, very familiar pattern. Because 1 and 2, right? 2's not as good as with the Fast and Furious. All the cars were CGI. All the cars were CGI. In that case, the bats. All the bats were CGI.

Three very little original cast members, like Underworld 3, which was a prequel. Right, yeah. And Tokyo Drift. Four was Everybody Return, but it was like... And nobody remembers that one exists. Yeah, who cares about that? And now this is it!

Okay, we're back on board. This is their moment! So I'm definitely excited for it now. Excellent. Yeah. I love how that's the rule now. If it makes it to five, you are going to enjoy it. Everything else, garbage.

Planet of the Apes 3, or Reboot Part 3. Okay. Is it a reboot? I've never really... I think it's a reboot. Well, there's going to be very few original cast members. That's true. If we're going by the new rules we've just established.

But yeah, it's been given a title. War of the Planet of the Apes. Okay. Or Wat Pota, which I like. The other two were good, weren't they? Yeah. I thought, yeah, Dawn was better than Rise. How can they compete with...

No, Rise was better. No. Last one was Dawn, wasn't it? I can't remember. Yeah. It doesn't matter. It was good. Wait, Dot Pota and Rot Pota.

No, I thought I could figure it out with the acronym, but I can't remember. No, it doesn't help, does it? Okay. How are they going to top Apes riding on horseback firing machine guns? Two machine guns? Yeah. Strap one to the head. Three machine guns. Three machine guns. Yeah. Strap one of their head.

Three machine guns. Three machine guns. Brilliant. I don't know. Well, war. So I know at the end of the last movie, they were going to bring in human warships and that's how it was going to end.

Oh, interesting. So you get warships and more tanks and stuff and more horses. Do you think this is the one where there's going to be the nuclear apocalypse and it's going to turn into the future version? I don't think so. I think I saw Andy Serkis' interview and he was like, there could be two or three movies of war before you get to Charlton Heston coming back going, what is this?

Sure. What's happened here? Because the astronauts have gone into space, right? That happened in Rise. Rise is the first one, I'm sure. Okay, sure. So you think they'll be back by now? Well, yeah.

I don't think they'll do the time no shift thing no i think they'll come back and it will be like 12 or 15 they can't do the time shift because it's a it's a realistic universe now exactly with apes on horseback firing machine guns off their heads very good exactly so i'm looking forward to that i really enjoy them but i really enjoyed the last one. I've got some news for you. I love news. Okay, here we go. What have I got for news?

I wrote some news down. Is it Johnny Depp's dog? Yes, it is. Minister for Agriculture, Australian Minister for Agriculture, or whatever he is, Barnaby Joyce, which is a great name for a terrible human being, threatened to euthanise Johnny Depp's dogs because Johnny Depp is here because he's filming another Pirates sequel. Pirates 5, they get good again. It's going to have to colonize Johnny Depp's dogs. Because Johnny Depp is here because he's filming another Pirates sequel. Pirates 5. They get good again.

It's going to be good again. So Pirates 5, which is Dead Tides, something Tides. It doesn't matter. Dead Men, Pirates Tides. Dead Men, Telno Tides. But anyway, he brought his two dogs, who are called Boo and Pistol, I think. And he snuck them in on his private jet. And then the media found out because he took him to like a doggy day spa

or something like that. I think he hid them under his denim jacket. Probably hid them under his... His torn denim jacket. His torn denim jacket with fringes on it, with suede fringes on it. And one under his, like, his cowboy hat. That's right.

Anyway, so the media leaked these and George Brandis is like, we have very strict quarantine. Barnaby Joyce. What did I say? You said George Brandis. Oh, whatever, they're the same guy. Who is that?

It's some other dick. Anyway, the point is he's like, it's inexcusable. We have quarantine laws. You have 50 days. Otherwise, we're going to euthanize your dogs. So one of our politicians, that's what they do to distract us from whatever else is going on.

They threaten to kill Johnny Depp's dogs. So anyway, we put them back in the private jet and they're back in America now, one of June. Safe and sound. Yeah. Look, he shouldn't have probably brought them in like that. Yeah. But don't threaten to kill Depp's dogs. So anyway, we put them back in the private jet and they're back in America now, I want to assume. Safe and sound. Yeah. Look, he shouldn't have probably brought them in like that. Yeah. But don't threaten to kill a man's dogs.

Correct. Like, for no reason. That'll trouble our tourist industry. Do you think if Johnny Depp looked cleaner, he would have got away with it? Yes. Because he looks kind of gross. He looks like a dirty hobo, yeah, exactly.

Yeah. Yeah. He looks like he sweats and then he doesn't shower. Correct. Like, he just keeps going. Yeah. So, thank God sweats and then he doesn't shower. Correct. Like he just keeps going. Yeah. So, thank God Johnny Depp's dog is safe. But that's the kind of shit where people...

I assume they might have been, you know, might have been mugged when they got out of America. That's very possible. Yeah. But that's the kind of shit where... I guess, I mean, I don't really care about the world's perception of Australia. But surely people are just like bloody Australians. You know what I mean? Like we're all outraged.

We thought you were cool. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. So you tried to kill Johnny Depp's dogs. I'm all for it. Yeah, me too. Wait. No, we're against it.

Yeah, yeah. You saw the Supergirl trailer? Just then, I did, yes. All six minutes of it. Boy, it's long. Look, we'll get this out of the way. Everybody's been saying it. It is kind of a lot like that SNL sketch

where Scarlett Johansson is Black Widow and she can't find a boyfriend. Can't get a date. Yeah, it's a little similar to that. The trailer is essentially the entire first episode, surely. Correct, yeah. Just compressed down into like six and a half minutes. Special effects are pretty good.

Yeah, I thought it looked pretty good. I quite liked it. I think she's very personable as their character. Absolutely. Looks good. Black Jimmy Olmy olsen twist i heard you yell that from the other olsen you yelled that from the other room i did yeah other things i yelled from the other room calista flockard yeah oh this goes forever you also said you don't know my story and you said yes we do we do we've seen it I've seen it

yeah well you look pretty good so you weren't like this is outrageous there was a lot of that look I haven't seen what parts were outrageous I don't know

the bit where she's just like I just want to eat ice cream but I have to be Supergirl or whatever right I don't know I guess having seen that old Wonder Woman pilot

well that's what I was going to say I haven't seen it is it better than that yeah it's better than that like they've taken away one of her three identities so that's good she's only got the two to bother with so that's what i was going to say i haven't seen it is it better than that yeah it's better than that like they've they've taken away one of her three identities so that's good she's only got the two to bother with so that's good uh i did yell out oh they're best friends because she's got a best friend who knows the secret and blah blah that's pretty good yeah um she's she revealed her identity to a lot of people in her life straight away straight away well jimmy olsen

knows her best friend knows That's her sister. That's her sister. Okay, right. Hank Henshaw knows. Yep. Don't tell him. Ooh. That was Hank Henshaw, wasn't it?

Hang on, which one? The guy who runs the agency. And he's like, just go and get coffee. You can't be a super girl. What was that Hank Henshaw? I think it was Hank Henshaw. What a twist.

Yeah. Black Hank Henshaw. Black Hank Henshaw. And the guy who wants to date her or whatever. Yeah. He wants to. He knows as well. And Superman.

There's also sort of in it. You sort of see him. Oh, yeah. Sort of. Great. Yeah. It was pretty good. I liked it.

Okay, I've got some responses here. Ryan says, I must say the trailer was absolutely awful. It feels like What If Smallville and Ugly Betty had a mashup. Yeah, fair enough. We've got another email saying here, it's important to note

that the trailer isn't always indicative of what the show's overall tone will be. I think in this case it definitely is because it's the whole first episode.

Sure. Yeah. Are you looking forward to it? Yeah, kind of now. No, I'm not really. Really? There you go. There's too many TV shows

now that I have to watch. I'm sick of it. Fair enough. I dropped Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. So I've got room for one more. Apparently it got real good in the last episode or something. People were like, oh my God, what did you do, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.? You changed television forever.

Final episode. I'll watch that, I guess. I'll maybe watch that. Maybe we'll do a TV show wrap-up next week. Okay, how about next week, TV show wrap-up, brackets, as much as we can stand to watch. I'm not watching the whole season of anything, all right? I refuse.

I don't have enough time in my life. So maybe we'll do Arrow, Flash, some of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. that we watch. Okay, cool. Anything else? Gotham. Gotham. Just kidding. No, not happening.

Awesome. But speaking of TV. Yes. Oh, hang on. I have some more news. I have one more piece of news. Is it about Johnny Depp's dogs? No.

Is it breaking news? It is. Okay, so they released an Age of Ultron play set. Oh, yeah. Like Lego? Big one. Lego or? No, it's like an action figure kind of one.

Right. And it's a Hasbro one. And it's the scene where Captain America's fighting Ultron on the truck. Yeah. And then the Quinjet comes down and it drops Black Widow out on a motorcycle. I remember. And she comes and she intercepts and they all do the fighting or whatever. Right.

The thing about the play set is they've erased the Black Widow out of it and they've put Captain America on the motorcycle. So in this scenario that they've created, Captain America is fighting Ultron on a truck and then the Quinjet comes down and it ejects Captain America on a motorcycle and he goes to. Captain America is fighting Ultron on a truck and then the Quinjet comes down and it ejects Captain America on a motorcycle and he goes to intercept Captain America. On the box does it say, time travel question mark?

Probably. Yeah, but I mean, from what I understand, there was all the leaked emails from Sony and there's been tons of leaked emails. Apparently there was like, somebody was sitting in on a meeting with Marvel and Disney or whatever, and Disney's like,

and this was in the emails, but apparently they're like, look, we're Disney, we've got the female market sewn up, like all the girls sewn up. We don't need any more girl stuff. That's why we bought Marvel. We've got our quota of girls. We've got our quota of girls, so here's the boys. We've got all we've got all the girls we've got all the girls we don't need any more girls so that so now so the policy is basically why make any girl toys for marvel because it's a boy they're boys

it's a boys thing for boys it's a good point actually well so so if you're a girl and you really like the age of ultron and you want to shut up about it yeah just shut up is clearly the thing here. What's the explanation for... Are there two figures of Captain America in that set? No, there's only one. You only get Captain America, I think. Okay, fair enough.

Yeah. But yeah, take Black Widow out of the Black Widow. One of the best Black Widow scenes. Good work, Marvel. Great. Yeah, I just wanted to point out. It's sort of an ongoing problem. It is an ongoing problem.

Talk about it on our podcast. Exactly. I did it. Spread the word. Success. Put her in. I mean, if you're a boy, why do you want a Black Widow toy? Why not?

She's cool in the movie. Exactly, yeah. What if you want to replicate the Hulk-Black Widow relationship? Yeah, exactly. You can't do that with Hulk and Captain America. That would be weird. I'm against that. Yeah.

Actually, that would be pretty hilarious. Mark Ruffalo tweeted that his daughters and nieces were out of luck when it came to buying Black Widow toys. Ah. Yeah, so. Even Ruffalo's against it. Even Ruffalo's against it. And he's notoriously sexist. Correct.

No, he's a good dude. Yeah. Anyway, that's all my news. Great. You watched the DC Legends of Tomorrow trailer. Yes. You yelled less stuff. Um.

I yelled, this is less less long this is slightly shorter than the previous one i think you said there's a lot going on here or there's too much going on here there's a lot happening it's like all the teams come together some are villains this guy's from the future randall vandal savage is here we don't see vandal savage in the trailer um yeah we've got the atom shrinks the atom finally shrinks did yell that. Did you like his little run? I yelled, he did it! He did, yeah. So that's pretty good.

He does a little run. Yeah. He doesn't look as good as Ant-Man. No, but I think Ant-Man's... The Ant-Man producers have twigged that you don't really need to see him shrink. Like, it's just kind of a cowboy switch. Yeah.

It's a quick cutaway. Exactly. He's small. They've tried to actually... Honey, I shrunk the kids, the atom in this, and it doesn't look as good, but it's still fine.

I do kind of like the idea that he, like I say in the trailer, he does have more tech than he knows what to do with. Like he's just trying everything. I think that's pretty fun. And finally he's shrinking, so that's good. I like the inclusion of Rory from Doctor Who.

Oh yeah, Rip Hunter, yeah. Yeah, that's cool. That's interesting. But again, there's a lot there. Like he's like, I'm from London, and I'm from the future. Yeah, that's cool. That's interesting. But again, there's a lot there. Like he's like, I'm from London and I'm from the future. That was, I don't know, that was kind of a cheesy reveal. Okay, sure.

Do you think that maybe they shouldn't have revealed he was from the future? I mean, people will read comics. No, but they have to immediately go to the future. Oh, yeah, good point. I thought it was odd that they have both Heat Wave and Firestorm. Yeah. Because what can Heat Wave do that Firestorm can't do? I don't know. I don't know. Precisely. Also, Heat Wave's just a guy with a fire gun, right? Yeah. Because what can Heatwave do that Firestorm can't do? I don't know. I don't know.

Precisely. Also, Heatwave's just a guy with a fire gun, right? Yes. Or does he have fire powers? No, he's just got a fire gun. There we go, yeah. Well, he was with, what's his name? Ice Boy.

Captain Cold. Yeah. Ice Boy and Fireman, correct. Do you think that this whole thing makes, a time-travelling team of superheroes makes Arrow redundant? Yeah, look, any time you would... No, not necessarily. I mean, he's got his own city to deal with, doesn't he?

Yeah, exactly. But I mean, I bet his job would be easier if he had a time-travelling superhero team. I don't know if it would make things harder, though. Like, how much of the time stream do you want to mess with? Yeah, I guess. This is a lot to deal with. Are they going to stay in the future the whole time or are they going to come back and forth?

I have no idea. I'm assuming a bit of back and forth. I don't think you can do too much of the future because it costs money. Oh, definitely. Those generic Vandal Savage soldiers shooting their ray guns, they look pretty expensive. I really liked Almost Human

or whatever it was called. It was with the guy from D from dread that was a future show that looked like a good version oh yeah okay right i remember that and they're just the minority report trailer just came out which is linked to the link to the the movie oh yeah some of the same people and i just all i could think was i wish that almost human show was still on great yeah but it was on Fox. That was cancelled immediately. All right. You know what? I'm looking forward to Legends of Tomorrow

mostly because of Brandon Routh. Legends of Tomorrow! Also that. Yeah, Brandon Routh's good, isn't he? Yeah, he's great. Was he a good Superman? I can't answer that. In your face, Routh.

Yep. All right. Josh Boone, who directed... I think he did Fault in Our Stars. Boonerang. He did Boonerang. With Eddie Murphy. Yeah.

Very good. I think he did Fault in Our Stars. He did one of those. If it wasn't Fault in Our Stars... Sad Oscar bait. Sad Oscar bait. He's directing the New Mutants movie, which is cool. I didn't even know there was going to be a New Mutants movie.

I forgot. I may have known. Is this the New Mutants team that is multiple man... It's the one for... I don't know who's exactly in it. I can't remember. Wait, that's not New Mutants. No, that's a different thing.

That's just multiple man. Yeah. I can't remember. There's like a list. I can't remember. But I don't know whether it's going to be that particular right exactly it could be any it's just yeah yeah yeah it may just be they need to keep they need to put mutants in a movie title to keep the trademark on mutants sure that's yeah that's why mutant x existed i'm pretty sure that was a good show wasn't it no it wasn't oh yeah good yeah so yeah um new mutants it's good um i hope

it's good or not doesn't great are you looking up the list of new yes okay all right six popular x-men characters for watch for in the new mutants spin-off is there somebody's reaction blend why don't you look at somebody's reaction i hate reaction reaction videos. I hate them. I hate them. Okay, Josh Boone. Yeah, directed Boonerang. Yeah, we know that. Oh, this darn... It's a bloody... I'm not looking at it

because it's bloody clickbait. It's one person per page and the first one is Professor X. I don't care. I don't care. Do you reckon they'll set it present day? What I'm going to do is while we're talking about the stuff

we're going to talk about this week, I'll tune out briefly and I'll look it up. And then when I think of something, I'll just shout it out. As soon as you tune out, I'm going to draw attention to it. Great. Al Moyimba, you're familiar with him? No. He's formerly of Latino Review.

He breaks a lot of big scripts. Oh, I see. Right. He's now gone out on his own. But anyway, he said that, and I guess this is sort of a spoiler alert for Batman v Superman if you don't want to know anything. He says that Doomsday's in it. Interesting. Yeah. So, I. It says that Doomsday's in it. Interesting.

Yeah. So, I guess there'll be Doomsday. I'd like to see the Justice League fight Doomsday and only Superman can stop him. Interesting.

I've talked about this before. There's a Max Landis pitch. Where are they going to put Doomsday into this thing? Because surely the focus is Batman v Superman. Maybe that's at the start.

Yeah. And then they team up and then he doomsday just swats Batman aside I reckon it might be I reckon it might be post-credits or it might be we just see him you know flying through space on the way to earth or something like that on a lot of like a skateboard on a skateboard yeah because it was the 90s it was the 90s also apparently that bit where you know Batman's do you bleed or whatever, apparently that's a dream sequence. Those lines. I don't know.

Hopefully the fight's not a dream sequence. That would be very disappointing. Yeah. Now, I thought this week I had a Weekly Planet exclusive of sorts. Oh, yes. Because nobody posted this. I got sent this earlier in the week, and I don't know why. And then I just checked online, and somebody has posted it.

It didn't go just to me, but I was wondering why no one had posted it. Anyway, someone sent me an email confirming that an Ivan Drago spinoff movie is in the works. What? Like one of the writers or producers behind it. So Rocky IV's Ivan Drago, played by Dolph Lundgren. Yeah. It's a story of redemption because he killed. Yeah, he killed some people.

Apollo Creed. He killed Apollo Creed. He killed Apollo Creed and he had no remorse for that. Because if he dies, he dies. So what do you think of that? Weekly Planet exclusive. Exclusive. The first thing I thought was... He's going to play Ivan Drago. He's back.

Dolph Lundgren. Modern day. Okay, that kind of works. Rocky worked. Rocky Balboa. Exactly. All right, fine. The first thing I thought was, why is somebody sending me this?

Sure. It's not really my wheelhouse. Secondly, I thought, yeah, I'd say that. Yeah, me too. I just picture him. He's walking down the street. He's all sad and all. He's got a rucksack.

Yeah. He's all, ugh. If he dies now, I feel sad about it. You know? He's learned. Hat with the little flaps? Oh, no. Ooh, maybe, because he's rushing. That's what I'm saying about it. You know? He's learned. Hat with the little flaps? Oh, no. Ooh, maybe because he's Russian.

That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Yeah. He's rushing off to find redemption. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah, pretty good.

And the last thing I've got here is Johnny Depp's dogs were going to be killed. Yes. But we already covered that, didn't we? We covered it, didn't we?

Yep, covered it very neatly. Yeah. I think that's all the news for this week. We should do a thing at the end of each episode where we just quickly check if there's more news. Because I'm pretty sure news is like broken.

Oh, breaking news at the end. Okay, good. Yeah, because that happens quite a lot actually now that I think about it. All right. So we'll do a Twitter check. Yeah. I'll check Twitter, you check comicbookmovie.com.

The best website. The best website for news. Well, look, Mason, it's made a big week for movies, hasn't it? Yeah. Pitch Perfect 2, did you see it? I didn't see it, but apparently it's bloody storming the box office. Storming.

Well, it's knocked Age of Ultron off number one. Yep. And so has Mad Max. So Age of Ultron has gone down to number three. Oh. But we're not here to talk about Pitch Perfect 2. Aw. Mason throws out notes on Pitch Perfect 2.

Well, now we've got nothing. I didn't see it. I didn't see it. I didn't see the first one. Is that it? They're probably good. Anna Kendrick's great and stuff, so why not? But Mad Max.

Wow. We saw Mad Max Fury Road, didn't we? Fury Road. I've just got an email here to kick things off. Okay, I'm ready. What do you think of Pitch Perfect 2? No. Greetings, Nick and James.

Have you been hearing excellent things about Mad Max from critics. And critics... Critics and then brackets critics. Not brackets. Quote marks. Quote marks. What's that mean? I don't know.

Just people on the internet, I guess. He probably means haters. Ah. I was wondering if you also thought that this is one of the best action films this decade, as I've been hearing. And how does it stack up against Road Warrior? Regardless, my ticket has already been bought and I can't wait to see it. One almost last thing.

I think it's very hypocritical of you to call Namibia a balls country. Did we do that? I said that, yeah. Okay, sure. Because when Mad Max was filmed. When your heads are made of dicks. Fair call. From Mari Lee.

So, Mason. Yep. Did you think it was A great Mad Max movie Yes Did you think it was Better than Road Warrior Yes Do you think it's the

Best Mad Max movie Yes Mad Max Yes All those things Me too Yeah I thought it was

The best Mad Max movie also Do you think it's The best action movie This year Yeah Probably Yeah Do you think it's

The best action movie Of the last five years It could be Yeah it could be right Like I'd have to think of other movies yeah i'm gonna see it again immediately after this i'm going with somebody else to see it again like a date like a sexy date i don't want to say a regular date a bland old date you won't be watching much of that then i'm all right that was really good i'll

push them aside and watch that movie. I loved it a lot. Yeah, me too. We saw it together. It was good. Not like a date. No. Not a regular date or a sexy date.

Yeah, I was going to say, what we normally do if you've never listened before, we talk non-spoilers. Very briefly because we don't have a lot to say. It's very difficult to do. I don't know how people do it. People do like whole podcasts on things without spoiling it. Anyway.

So yeah, non-spoilers. And then we'll definitively say this is spoilers. And then you can leave. Let the episode play out because that helps us. Right? I don't know. Probably not. And then...

Leave a positive review and subscribe. Definitely. Even if you don't listen. Even if you don't. Yeah. And then we'll do that. So story-wise, do you want to recap the story? Okay.

So, Max, the Mad Max of the title. Yes. He's on a fury road. The very same. Well, he is at some point. Yeah. Okay. But initially, we open on Max.

He is captured. This is all in the trailer. This is all in the trailer. He is captured by the War Boys, who are sort of a band of sort of very pale, shaved head kind of... They're like the soldiers of a sort of a cult leader warlord called Immortan Joe, who is Hugh Caysburns from the first Mad Max movie. He's back.

He's bloody back. He's back as a different character. And he is brought to their citadel there. And Immortan Joe is sort of, again, this cult leader, sort of warlord dictator who keeps all these people on this very tight leash. Yeah. He has a water supply, like a very abundant water supply

that he keeps under very close guard. And he keeps them all kind of downtrodden and miserable. And then Mad Max is going to be used as like like mad max is a universal donor is going to be used as like a blood bag for one of the war boys yeah he's called nux nux by nicholas holt holt yeah beast about a boy about a beast yep and he and he's kind of in a bad way yeah but then furiosa played by charlie's they're on yeah leaves the citadel with some cargo that we won't spoil. Yep. That Immortan Joe is very keen on getting back.

And so he sends out... Sorry? M&M's. Yeah, it's a big truck of M&M's. The last truckload of M&M's left on Earth. They don't melt in the desert sun. That's right. They melt in your mouth.

That's right. They melt in your mouth. And so he sends the war boys out to retrieve it and Nux ties Mad Max to the front of his car as a blood supply. In Mad Max tradition. Yep, exactly. You've got to tie a bloke to the front of your car. And that's where it begins. Mad Max is set on a bloody fury road that he doesn't want to be on.

And then, boy, madness ensues. He's very much against it, isn't he? Yeah, he's mad about it. Almost the whole way, yeah. What do we talk about the cast? Okay, great. Without getting into spoilers. Okay.

Tom Hardy is Mad Max. What did you think? He's got a terrible accent. Boy, does he. What is that accent? I don't know. It's not anything. Absolutely.

It's not British. No. It's not Australian, certainly. It's just a bit like this, sort of. No, not even. Oh, I was going to bring this up in news, but I forgot. Famous men's rights activist website, Return of Kings, put out an editorial like,

you shouldn't see Mad Max because it's a feminist movie. We will talk about that. Having not seen the movie, they're like, don't see it. Anyway, we'll talk about it later. What's the website called? I think it's called Return of Kings. It's not one of the ones I frequent. No, no. Yeah. Is it called? I think it's called Return of Kings. It's not one of the ones I frequent. No.

Yeah. Is it good? I doubt it very much. Anyway, cast. But we'll get to that. Remind me later. Yeah, it's a weird accent. He's good, isn't he? He's good.

It doesn't bother me. Yeah, it doesn't. Yeah. You know what I thought watching the film? If Mel Gibson hadn't gone crazy and weird and anti-Semitic and sexist and all that you could have slotted him right back in. Definitely. I think it would have been great.

Yeah, I completely agree. Yeah, definitely. Old Mel Gibson. I mean, you would have definitely needed some impressive CGI over the stunt work so you couldn't tell that it wasn't him doing it. Yeah, yeah, sure. No, you're absolutely right.

If he didn't fall out of favour they could have thrown have thrown him back yeah definitely look great but i think so it's in the in that way it's kind of odd that mad max is still quite young looking well this isn't a reboot i mean sorry this isn't a sequel it's not a sequel well the way it's kind of explained is george miller i did a video on it sort of george miller none of these have any kind of continuity said though it was never supposed to be a trilogy. And I like what he's just like, no, they're not really supposed to connect. He doesn't try to force them to fit. They kind of do. Yeah, I know.

But at the same time, the timeline doesn't add up. We talked about this last week. Okay, sure, sure, sure. So a lot of this is just like, these are all kind of legends of this Mad Max character. Oh, that's interesting. This desert hero. Okay. And this is just one of the things he may have done.

Because, and this is a spoiler, but it's not really a spoiler. He does have long hair right at the start. Like Thunderdome. Like in Thunderdome. Yeah. He's captured and they cut all his hair off, so he looks more like Mad Max from Mad Max 1. Yeah.

Or 2. In that sense, I thought it was a sequel, but I guess not. Yeah. Yeah. In your face. I think Charlize Theron is great as Furiosa. Absolutely she isiosa she's fantastic it's nice to have

Hugh Keyes Burns I assume that's his name yeah spelled differently or pronounced differently yeah it's about that he's gross isn't he he's gross

he doesn't get as much screen time as I thought he would no he doesn't he's not a he's got a very terrifying look yeah

I don't feel he has a very terrifying presence oh really so i found just seeing him because initially when he realizes what's happened yeah and he like storms in yeah like that's quite terrifying okay but he's not like he's not a physical match to anybody right yeah so i guess but that's not really his role though, is it? No, he has Richter, I think, who is his main... Yeah, Richter's erectus. Is that his name?

Amazing. And he had his other son, Quentin. Oh, Quentin, Quentin, Australian Quentin. Australian Quentin, yeah. Quentin, I can't remember his name. Me neither. He's a little fella. Yeah, a little fella.

Yeah, sure. But he's been around for years, Quentin. Yeah, totally, yeah. Like he was famous when he was like five. Yeah, totally. Yeah. Yeah, Charlie's Throne was great and a lot of the criticisms

and we'll get to that have been of her character and how she overshadows Max but we'll get to that I don't think that she does I don't think so either that's my initial thought

I think they're a good team that's what I thought I feel it's still very much a Mad Max movie for a lot of reasons we'll get into in a little bit Nux

what do you think of Nux very good yeah and there's some other characters that I guess are kind of spoilers if you don't know Mad Max movie for a lot of reasons we'll get into in a little bit. Nux, what do you think of Nux? Very good. Yeah. And there's some other characters that I guess are kind of spoilers if you don't know. I liked Immortan Joe's kind of world that he built, like his civilization, like this kind of metal and fire and

gears and everyone's painted white and he's this kind of false god that everybody kind of worships. And the only reason is because he has the water and he's just built himself up as that everybody kind of worships. And the only reason is because he has the water and he's just built himself up as this, I don't know, I guess this deity of sorts. The world building is great in this. Yeah, it is.

That whole, all the sets, all the cars are incredible. Like slapped together cars. It's like a monster truck with like a Buick. And they're all real. Yeah, they're all real. well like i got that here 80 of the stunts and everything is real so you got things like charlie's the ron's arm which is he's got like a kind of a robot kind of steampunk kind of arm i guess well it's but it's it's basically just a regular prosthetic arm yeah one of the basic ones but it's got a claw on yeah like a like a reinforced kind of yeah like that that's cgi obviously and there's like a sandstorm in it that's cgi and right and they're

like they remove like cables from like a lot of the stunt work and whatever but yeah most of it's most of it's real yeah yeah which is and you can that's very evident oh boy is it yeah like you really a lot of the time in car chases you you just kind of get, like you lose interest. And maybe that's CGI, maybe it's pacing or whatever. I don't know, whatever it is. So it's a credit to this. This movie is mostly car chase. It's just a car chase.

It's essentially two hours of car chase, yeah. Yeah, obviously you said the stunts were amazing. Were there any standout bits in particular or were you? What I think is interesting about this movie is that for the majority of it without spoiling it's a three-way battle at least okay sure yeah there's a no it in most of these movies there's a good guys it's a bad guys yeah but in this there is there's always there's max on his own yeah there's furiosa there's immortal joe yeah and his war boys yeah there's other other other civilisations

other parties that jump in on it so it's always at least a battle between three parties at all times yeah and I think it's quite

impressive that they've and it's yeah you know who's who and yeah exactly who's everyone what everyone's agenda is and

I guess everybody has like specific skills as well or a look to their yep to their crew or whatever I think the first meeting between Furiosa and Max is very impressive. That's amazing.

I was going to say that. And Nux is also involved. That's an incredible... There's a clip of that actually online. Not the whole thing. But that's such an intense... That's one of the best hand-to-hand fight scenes. I don't know.

I mean, there's a lot of good hand-to-hand stuff. Captain America hand-to-hand stuff is pretty good, actually. I was going to say, when I said, you know, this may be the best action movie of the last five years, my first thought was Captain America Winter Soldier. Yeah. But that's a different animal, I feel. It is.

Again, it's got... It is superhero-y. I don't pitch superhero movies in with action movies. No, they're different. They've got a lot of action in them, but I think they're a separate animal. Yeah. And especially Winter Soldier is more of a thriller kind of thing.

Yeah. It's an espionage thriller kind of thing. And less cars. Less cars. This is probably the best cars movie of the last 10 years. Uh-huh. But I reckon it's got better car stuff than all the Fast and Furious stuff.

Wow, okay. Yeah. That makes sense. And I like the Fast and Furious stuff. Like, it's really good. They're more... Having only seen the last one... Yeah.

That was more of like, here's a whole bunch of characters having a good time and there's some cars. He's a CGI Paul Walker. Yeah, you're on board for the characters. There's some wacky stunts, but they're not, you know. I liked also, and this is, The Fast and Furious doesn't really do this. Nobody feels invincible in this movie.

Yeah, true. Yeah. Like certain characters live and others die and whatever, but you never feel like, and you're fairly certain that like Max isn't going to die because he's the main character. But. That's the thing though.

I don't. Yeah. I would get this like, because this is, you know, this is the reboot or the sequel or the whatever. Yeah. This is a movie that hasn't been seen for 30 years. Yeah. I felt the whole time there could be, you know, this is the reboot or the sequel or the whatever. This is a movie that hasn't been seen for 30 years.

I felt the whole time there could be, you know, this could be the last thing for Max. Imagine the outrise of returnoftheking.com or whatever it's called. What's it called? Return of Kings. Don't visit it. It's dumb. Yeah, no, I like that sense of, like, anybody can get hurt.

And, like, if you get a tumour, you die. Like, if you lose a limb. It's gone. It's gone forever. There's no, this world, there's no, there's no coming back. No. Like there's, they're not going to meet aliens and they're going to solve all their problems. There's not going to be any time travel where they can go back and fix it.

Like this is, this is the apocalypse and this is the end for everyone. That's right. The best they can hope for is kind of like subsistence living and they're not all going to die. And for some people, a spectacular death. Yeah, exactly. That's what they're kind of going for. Maybe there'll be some crops at some point in the future,

but probably not. It's just going to be a slow, the wheel's going to slowly stop turning. Yeah, exactly. Also, did you notice how colourful it was for a movie that was just set in the desert? Like very vibrant and really beautifully shot, right? Absolutely.

Yeah, like I don't know what that contrast between like the orange and the yellow ground and the blue sky or whatever, but I don't know, just the previous Mad Maxes didn't really have that. Like because it was a different time, I guess. Like this managed to be gritty and kind of

beautiful and colorful at the same time yeah without being too cartoony yeah i guess even though this is just it's like a cartoon world really it is kind of a cartoon i thought it was a bit reminiscent of um uh warhammer 40 000 okay which is set you know in this you know the year 40 000 it's this kind of it is this crazy steampunk universe kind of thing. And I, there were elements of that to this. And I thought, yeah,

it was very cartoony, but I'm like, I see how society could end up like this. Yeah. Yeah. If one guy has all the water or whatever, I genuinely thought that like seeing the trailers, well,

we talked about this last week. I was like, I'm excited for this. I, you know, I'm really hoping it's good. But at the same time, I was kind of like,

I hope he doesn't George Lucas this. Like, he hasn't done this for 30 years. Because the trailer came up and was like from mastermind George Miller. And I'm like, they might be overselling this. They did not oversell it. No. He's clearly been banking these ideas. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's amazing because he's 70. Yeah. And I think this was maybe a six-month shoot or something. And he's had's there's a couple of co-writers yeah well and i think uh last week i said i watched the documentary called not quite hollywood which is about the australian australian movie and like you see some interview stuff with him and he's clearly you know he's well together and all that sort of stuff and i think very much

like a he's got some really good ideas and i think b he's got some co-writers and they've worked collaboratively and they all know how to say no to stuff yeah i think b he's got some co-writers and they've worked collaboratively and they all know how to say no to stuff yeah i think like and that that's the problem with george lucas is nobody ever says no to him yeah well that's right yeah exactly yeah and you look maybe he learned those lessons from like spielberg and indiana jones four and right exactly yeah i know people like prometheus but like ridley scott with prometheus i think prometheus looks great right that story is nonsense. Exactly.

Yeah. So I was genuinely like, I just don't know how this is going to go. Yeah. Because so many times directors return to a franchise and it's just like... You know what an element that I thought, like here's the cornerstone of the movie, is one of the war boys' vehicles has a guy on it with a lot of amplifier stacks and he plays a guitar that shoots fire. He's blind as well.

He's blind. And that seems like the kind of thing that an idiot would like. Like if you were like, here's an action movie and it's got a guy and he plays a fire guitar on a chariot made of amplifiers i'd be like i'm not seeing that movie because it looks because that is just pandering to the absolute lowest comedy denominator kind of thing yeah and i watched that and i'm like no they didn't overuse that that totally works yeah it totally works in this universe that guy just pretty much

plays the guitar yeah and he provides a little bit of mood music there's a point not really a spoiler but there's a point where like you know the chase is happening and it reaches kind of a dead end like briefly

and the guitar guy's like bler bler bler bler like he kind of he kind of slowly grinds to a halt with his with his guitar solo and as you know

he's blind he's really good yeah I think it I think it worked also and then like there's this war tribe yeah and he would have music well he's got know he's blind he's really good yeah i think it i think it worked also and then like this war tribe yeah and you would have music well he's got drums he's got like he's got like a truck that's just guys with drums right yeah and you know again in the hands of a lesser you know director i'd be like this is such pandering it's so dumb or whatever but i it totally worked

totally yeah because it's this you believe the. Like you believe this insane world that is created. One thing that I didn't actually love, and I thought this was just me and the screening we were at, aside from Hardy's accent, which again, I don't really care. I think you did really well. I struggled initially to understand what people were saying. Like people would like, and I don't know whether it was the accent or the the background

noise and apparently that's not just me like at the start they'd be like it's a blade with al and like i'm like what is that i didn't really have a problem what are you saying okay i was fine just me then i i had a problem with american audiences i think maybe we'll have a problem yeah yeah there's a lot of that well that's what i thought maybe it's a pretty broad accent yeah maybe it's because i'm used to watching american tv in america because i don't watch any australian television right right okay yeah maybe that was maybe that's it yeah but i think yeah i had a problem the only one i had a problem with max is because i yeah i couldn't place it yeah like where is he from what is this because i was prepared for australian

accents and some american accents but i wasn't prepared for this weird nowhere accent yeah fair enough well look as far as spoilers go do you want to get into it yeah what have we not have But I wasn't prepared for this weird nowhere accent. Yeah, fair enough. Well, look, as far as spoilers go, do you want to get into it? Yeah, what have we not? Anything we haven't talked about? Plot's pretty good. It's pretty straightforward. Yeah, straightforward plot.

We know what's going on at all times. It keeps a breakneck pace without you getting sick of it. That's true, yeah. Which is amazing. Yeah, I would have thought, I lost a tiny bit of enthusiasm, I reckon, by about the third act. Like, how can they keep this going? But I think they, because there was so much spectacular stuff quite early on. Like, how are they going to maintain this pace?

It felt long, but it didn't bother me. There's a bit where the movie kind of stops and they change direction, literally. Yeah, yeah. And I was like, how much is left in this right right yeah speaking of ages i thought is this going to end and that the sequel will be that i genuinely thought that and then it's like another 30 40 minutes yeah yeah but i didn't i didn't feel it dragged like no no no i thought it was a really perfect the perfect length okay anything else best or worst what else do we talk about in these things uh action fistfights

fistfights were good mention that um nobody seems invincible 80 real uh everyone's pretty that'll do it that'll do it movie looks great fantastic best movie ever oh no i would yeah best movie i would say and i said this in my review if you saw the trailers and you went that looks something up that's could be up my alley it is go and say it yeah if you, dumb, don't say it. You probably won't like it. Really? Yeah.

I think a lot of people are going to find a lot to enjoy in this. Okay. Sure. Fair enough. I think it's a lot. I think this is, yeah, I think it's pretty smart. It is currently sitting on 99% on Rotten Tomatoes. Correct.

Yeah. Which is unheard of. Yeah. So if you want to the 1%, then don't say it. Bloody. How would you know? What about the 1% kind of allegory? I say see this because it's not, I don't know it bloody how would you know what about the one percent kind of i say see this because it's not i don't know just just see it give it a bloody good go okay how about

a really good action movie it's r like it's an r film right okay right is it a hard r because i wouldn't say it is no because it's ma 15 plus oh it is okay yeah okay okay so yeah no nothing super brutal happens no i don't think. There's a few kind of things. There's a thing towards the end. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, that happens, yeah. That happens.

We'll talk about that. Yeah. Yeah, it's not incredibly visceral, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. Great. All right. Best movie ever, I'm going to say.

I'm going to say probably is... People email in or tweet at me what you think might be one of your favorite action movies of the last five years, and I will collate them all, and I will tell you next week why this one's better. Will you really? No, I probably won't. But I'll think about it, because I generally can't think of an action movie in the last five years that has been better.

It's just a pure action movie. At Wikipedia Brown. Correct, that is the one. Hit him up. All right, now spoilers. Spoilers! Now, before we get to spoilers, somebody just tweeted, listening to Old Weekly Planet pod,

and noticed that Mr. Sunday Movies always pronounces Del Toro's name Gilmero, not Guillermo. I don't know how to say it. So he's on the team. He's on the team from earlier of the people whose names you mispronounced. I can't say it!

He's on the team. It's just not... It's Guillermo. Guillermo. Anyway, let's spoil... Guillermo. Yeah, let's spoil this movie. Whenever I try as well, people are like,

ha ha ha, you idiot. Yeah. The Australian accent does not lend itself to his name. To pronouncing any words at all. You're correct. I need Tom Hardy's vague nowhere accent. All right. We're going to talk about how mad is he?

How mad is Mad Max? Because we established that he's not that mad. Last week we did a retrospective of all three previous Mad Max movies. I really enjoyed that episode. Yeah, me too. And we did establish that at no point does he really get angry mad. No. But I got the sense that they mean mad in the sense of he's a completely insane person

in a completely insane universe, which is why he seems to stay so calm. Yeah. He's insane mad. Yeah. And in this... He's insane mad, right? He does have weird flashbacks and stuff. That's to his daughter, I calm. Yeah. He's insane mad. Yeah. And in this... He's insane mad, right? He has that weird flashbacks and stuff. That's to his daughter, I think.

Yeah, but that's... Crazy people have that. Yeah, definitely, yeah. And traumatised. It does save him at one point. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because he puts his hand up to his forehead. Oh, to catch an arrow in the face, yeah.

And he catches an arrow, like by accident. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So maybe that was like the movie Signs, where the message was on purpose. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. on purpose swing away or whatever I initially thought like I tweaked that it was his daughter

yeah but initially I thought maybe that was some of the children from oh from Thunderdome from Thunderdome okay sure I guess that could work

though also yeah totally because we don't know what happened to them it all could be one thing like it doesn't matter well George McMillan actually said in his mind

this takes place after Thunderdome but at the same time whatever doesn't really matter Well, George McMillan actually said in his mind this takes place after Thunderdome. But at the same time, whatever. It doesn't really matter, exactly, yeah. Yeah. I think the sequel they're going to do, which we will talk about in a little later about it, that will adhere to this continuity,

stricter than what the other ones have done. Right, okay, yeah. Yeah. You know what I liked about how mad he is? Yes. Well, they always say, like, these things, like, who's madder, is it bad max or the world he lives in yep it's the world he lives in he's very normal he's extraordinarily normal there's a guy

driving around with a he's blind and his amplifier stacks and he's got a fire guitar come on exactly but i liked there's little nods to like he's not mad he's just a survivor I feel like yeah exactly he's like a wild dog yeah and like if you're very careful you can kind of get close to him and pat him and feed him right but he could bite you at any second uh do you know what I mean yes like he's got that kind of about him and when he goes to take off with he has that fist fight with Charlize Theron so fist stump fight which is Correct. Which is great, by the way, which we talked about. And again, yeah, like there's that, it's, because, you know, we revealed, it's revealed very early on that she's got Immortan Joe's

brides in the truck. Oh, yep. And, you know, he wants them back. Max just wants a truck so he can get away. Nux is there and it's this three-way battle. Yep. You know, Furiosa thinks maybe Max wants to take the girls but he doesn't he just wants to just wants to get away or whatever

Nux is there because he wants to Nux thinks that Max thinks Max is on his team yeah and they are for that yeah exactly yeah because they both have the same agenda right not to die I love that bit where he fired the gun around her head yeah Yeah, that was great. That was amazing. Yeah, I don't know why. I really enjoyed that. And there was that, also in that sequence, you know, it's kind of, that whole thing's a fight over the gun.

Yeah. And like, they're fighting and she ejects the magazine out of the gun so he can't use it. And then, like, it's got one round left in it. Oh, yeah, that's right. And so they shoot it off against the tanker and then Nux is like trying to get the magazine

and he drops it back in and then Max has got the gun and now he's on his own team again. Yeah, exactly. And it was really good. Like everybody had their own agenda in that. Yeah. And you knew where everybody was going with it. Yeah. And you're not like, yeah, it's really good.

That was amazing. I liked how though, like when the truck stopped because he took off and she was like, listen, can you get me to say if you would give you fuel or whatever? And he was just like, I'm not interested. And then he's like, i'll get that mask off you and he's like fine get in like he's like because that's because he's just base instincts yeah do you know what i mean like he just doesn't want that right he got his head like that he's got there's more grunting out of him definitely than dialogue in a lot of times in a lot of cases but i like the appeal of him as well he's he's just moment to moment day to day yeah i Like, priority number one is getting away

and getting this fucking mask off my head. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. Did you feel sorrow for Nux? Or did you feel any empathy for him? That's a good question. I guess because that's the world he's been raised in.

Yeah. We don't know anything about his origins. There will be a comic, actually. There's a comic in there. Oh, then maybe I will. Yeah. But did you, by the end, you know how he switched allegiances or whatever did you find that believable or unbelievable yeah uh well he did it for love didn't he he did that's all you bloody got in

the desert isn't it a bit of love you know love and guns love guns fury road flame throw guitar that's all you have in this world. Three things. Are you doing an X-Men thing? No, I'm just looking for something. Give me two seconds. No, it's all right. We'll come back to it. All right.

Yeah, I know what I'm doing. You know what's up. Yeah. Look, can we talk about the Charlize Theron role? Yes. What are people upset about? Oh, yeah. Okay, that's what I was looking for.

Okay. Okay, give me 30 seconds and I'll find a link. Oh, actually, I know where it is. It's in my texts. Okay okay so this is the link uh why you should not go see mad max feminist row that's what that's what the article is called right and he's not like he hasn't i don't think he's seen it um anyway blah bitty blue bitty but anyway um he seems to be up people seem to be upset that charlie's theron is in the trailers a lot but tom hardy that Charlize Theron is in the trailers a lot but Tom Hardy is not

like he's more in the trailers he's more a cameo cameo yeah cameo but it says Charlize Theron sure talked a lot

during the trailers well I don't think I heard one line from Tom Hardy right even though again Mad Max

has like 16 lines 16 lines in Road Warrior and like and apparently like And apparently, basically all the previous Mad Max movies, George Miller was inspired by going to the drive-in, and the speaker doesn't work, so you're watching a movie silently. Okay, sure.

So you can watch all the Mad Max movies with no audio and get what he's saying and understand what the plot is. Sure. Anyway, okay, hang on. Here we go. You're a bloody feminazi mate yeah that's what i am mate okay here we go and finally charlie's theron's character barked orders to mad max paragraph break nobody barks orders to mad max but also okay look I really liked that character and I thought they just worked well together. Me too, yeah, exactly.

That's how I saw it. Again, this is a guy telling people not to see this based on a trailer. But also, like, there were moments... It's a feminist piece of propaganda posing as a guy flick. You know what bit I really liked, I enjoyed? Hollywood has the audacity to remove the namesake of a movie franchise called Mad Freakin' Max and replace it with an impossible female character

in an effort to kowtow to feminism. These kind of people are always mad about this kind of thing. The first movie should have been called Mad Goose. Exactly, because Goose is the main character. But these kind of people are always mad at female characters, especially female video game characters. It's always like, there's no way that woman could be an action hero because she's

bloody she's carrying a woman couldn't carry that much equipment a man couldn't carry that much equipment if you play a video game and your character's got like 10 guns and 900 bullets or whatever nobody can lift that it's impossible and they're always like statistically speaking men are stronger than women

a woman couldn't possibly. Has anybody seen Ronda Rousey? She'd beat me up. Yeah, she'd kill us both in one second. Like, she wouldn't because she seems very nice, but she could. You know what I mean? Absolutely. Statistically speaking, men are stronger.

Yeah, but she's an exceptional character. She's an exceptional person. And Furiosa, also exceptional. You're allowed to have exceptional characters in movies. Hang on, there's one more line in this. I mean, it's blabbity-bloobity, but... Who sent you this? I think it was on Film Drunk or something like that.

I love Film Drunk. Yeah. It's great. Oh, here we go. Here's the thing. Okay. Be nothing more than feminist propaganda while at the same time being insulted and tricked

into viewing a piece of American culture ruined and rewritten right in front of their very eyes. Now, last week, we talked about Mad Max and somebody sent an email in being like, do you mind if Tom Hardy is Mad Max? Because he's not Australian and these are Australian movies. And I was like, no, who cares? Because it's a movie and get whatever actors best and who cares?

But somebody coming in and saying Mad Max is a piece of American culture, it's a movie and you know get whatever actors best and who cares but somebody coming in and saying a piece of america mad max is a piece of american culture it's got me back up he's bloody not mad max is australian you know when you go overseas and and people find out you're australian you become more australian you do come more australian you're talking you're calling people cobra and whatever same thing right here i don't care if mad max is australian until somebody thinks that he's American. He's not American. Shut up. He's Australian.

How do you like that? I like it a lot. Yeah, it's good. You know what? One of the bits I thought was a really good moment between Max and Furiosa is when you remember the bullet farmers speeding towards him in a tank

with a car strapped to the top. And he's just shooting bullets or whatever. Yeah, yeah. And Mad Max has three bullets and a sniper rifle. Yep. And he misses on the first two. Yep.

And then he acknowledges that he's not as good a shot as Furiosa. And his hands are the rifle. His hands are the rifle and she uses her shoulder to step in the shot and she takes the shot. And that makes sense because he recognizes that in that scenario,

he's not better than her to suit the situation. Right, exactly, yeah. He needs to, like, he'd be an idiot to take that third shot. Exactly, because he's not an action hero. No. He's a guy trying to survive in this desert. Yeah. And he knows that if that guy catches up, they're all dead.

Yeah. So he lets her take the shot. Exactly. Yeah. Anyway, great. That's all I have to say on that. Yeah, that'll do it. The people of the green or whatever they're called.

Do you like that inclusion? The warrior women. Yeah. I wish there was more Megan Gale. Well, there won't be anymore. No, because she was squashed. But yeah, that also seeing her in that makes me be anymore. No, because she was squashed. But yeah, that also,

seeing her in that makes me go, oh, I wish she was Wonder Woman. Yeah, she was pretty good. And look, I'm sure Gal Gadot

would be fine, but I thought for the little that she was in it. Stray his own Megan Gale. Here's the thing though, about these

warrior women. Yeah. Do they have a specific name? I'm not sure. probably. One's like the keeper of the sea.

Are they bad people? Yeah, probably. Because- They were luring you to a trap. Yeah, exactly. Because they seem very nice and they had the same goals to survive. Yeah. But they show up.

The good guys, Max and Furiosa and the team, they show up. And they see Megan Gale and she's like, oh, help, whatever. And Max is like, this is definitely a trap. Yeah. And then Furiosa goes, no, this is my people. Yeah. It's me. gale she's like oh help whatever and max is like this is definitely a trap yeah and then furiosa goes no this is my people yeah it's me and they're like oh cool it's it's it's charlie's they're on and they you know they all they meet up or whatever but presumably what happens is travelers go through the desert they see megan gale they're like a supermodel yeah they're like i should help her for a variety of reasons and then the biker

women show up and either kill that person or steal all their stuff and leave them to die. Correct. That's the desert, man. I guess it's the desert. You're right. That's what you do. It's what you bloody do.

Yeah. But, yeah, it's a shame. Apparently they all did their own stunts. All those women? Yeah, for the most part. They were, like, 70 years old. Yeah, one of them was 78. Jesus.

And she was apparently like, yeah. Like the stunt people, like, you sure you want to do this? And she's like, yeah, I'll do it. Why wouldn't I? Well, I've got nothing to live for. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. That was really good.

You know, it was a good bit. Yep. We're up to our famous segment, You Know What Was A Good Bit. Okay, I'm calling it. This is what I knew you were saying. Because this is all our reviews basically boiled down to. You know what was a good bit? Yeah. Here we go when morton joe gets his face torn oh boy yeah that was amazing that was pretty good yeah so she hooked his his gas mask or whatever

into the wheel of the monster truck yep and just tore his face clear bottom half of his face clear clear off that was pretty amazing i wasn't sure at first like did he take his head off or whatever then you don't really see, yeah, initially. Then you see his body at the end. Uh-huh. And it's just like his tongue like hanging out with his nose and jawless face. Uh-huh, yeah. I would have actually liked to see what he looked like without his mask.

Yeah. Like prior to that. Yeah, yeah. He probably just looked like a fat guy, I guess. Like a fat guy with a... Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, totally.

That was pretty... He looked like Toe Cutter from the first one. He did. Ooh! I guess. That fat guy over there. Yeah. Yeah, totally.

That was pretty. He looked like Toe Cutter from the first one. He did. Ooh. Do you think there is any chance that that's the same character? I mean, he went right under that truck. Yeah. I think it squashed his head from memory. His eyes certainly bugged out.

Yeah. Did it squash his head though? Yeah, I'm fairly certain it squashed his head. Well, I don't know because he does have that respirator. He does all that stuff. Maybe he did live. See, that's the thing. It's one of those continuity things.

We'll never know. I would say it's probably not. It's almost, yeah. Yeah. 99% sure it's not. But I mean, if you were a guy who got run over by a truck and everybody thought you died and then you didn't, you'd get the name Immortal Joe.

Immortal Joe. Yeah, but then it would switch over. You're right. So maybe. I'm going to say it is. What's a bit that you liked? What's a bit that I liked? I thought all the brides were good.

Yeah, absolutely. I thought a lot of people were like, why are they so, you know, because the idea is people are like, why are they so glamorous? Because, you know, people in the desert shouldn't, but they're the brides. They've been kept.

They've been kept beautiful for a moment. Like out of the sun. Okay. So it's Zoe Kravitz. So that's Lenny Kravitz's daughter. What do we got here? Oh, Riley Kehoe. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is one of them.

Yeah, she was from Transformers 3. Riley Kehoe is Elvis Presley's granddaughter. Oh, really? Yeah. So what's her name? Lisa Marie's kid? Yes. Isn't that fun?

That's cool. Yeah, that was good. I think here's a bit that was a good bit. You know in the bit where Max gives like the little thumbs up to the bride? Oh, yeah, that's right. That was a nice little kind of acknowledgement. And then she slipped on the blood and she went under the truck. Right, right, right.

He killed her. That Max? Yes. Because he put that gash in her leg leg which caused her to slip on the blood and go on that's a good point yeah that is a good point well you're gonna do what you can that's how it is man laura the desert also nobody saw her fall off the truck except him so yeah he could be like she lost her foot i didn't see her go she tripped on a stupid dress that's what happened there i didn't see her go under the wheel though like i thought he might have been lying but

she did obviously well it's yeah i think the idea was it's deliberately ambiguous yeah because we're you know that's max's say so yeah and we don't know if he's telling the truth or not she definitely fell off the truck though and look regardless she's probably dead and they shouldn't go back yeah and he knows that yeah like i also thought it was interesting they didn't go with the trope of the mother died but the child lived. Oh, yeah, okay. But Angus Sampson said the child was dead. He has a name.

I think he was called like, what was it? Something like Flesh Mechanic or something like that. Oh, okay, that's fine. It's not that. It's something else, yeah. It's another bit. It's another bit that we liked. You know what?

I liked the bit in the grand old tradition of Mad Max films. He just wandered off at the end. Yeah, that was weird. You'd think, like, what is he after, ultimately? I don't know. He's on an endless journey, a pilgrimage. Surely you would want, in that world, you would want some sort of safety and stability. So you've just brought back the new leader of this citadel.

Yeah. You've given, you've found a way to give water to all these people. You've survived a fury road. You survived the bloody fury road. Yeah. You'd think you'd want to just live there, right?

Or you'd be like, give me a car, give me some water. He probably stole a car on the way out. He probably did, yeah. Yeah. You're right.

I like seeing his car briefly in it. And then it shows up again and he's like that's my car that's my bloody car in my car yeah I don't know what is it

I don't know what is his that was probably his best Australian that one line is probably his best Australian accent in that which again is not saying a lot

nah it's not but that's alright yeah trying to think if there's any other good bits there's lots of good it's just an endless it feels like an endless

stream of good bits right exactly yeah yeah I don... It feels like an endless stream of good bits. Right, exactly. Yeah, yeah. I don't know. I kind of... Did you like how they made the decision, we'll just go back? Yeah, it did feel...

Well, it did feel like, well, this is... We're either going to die in the... Like, it felt like it was everybody's last chance. Yeah. It's either we're going to drive out into the desert and die in the desert. Yeah. Or we're going to go back and maybe we'll die at the hands of,

you know, the war boys or whatever. This is our last chance. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely right. Yeah. I don't know.

I don't think I've got anything else to say. There is apparently, there's enough story material for two more scripts. Yes. And Tom Hardy's signed on for four more films, maybe? Yeah. Or three more films,

something like that. Something like that. I think maybe he signed three in total. Okay, very cool. Whatever. It doesn't matter. I'm that. I think maybe he signed three in total. I don't know. Whatever. It doesn't matter. I'm glad. I'm good.

There's a lot of kind of, I've done an Easter egg video, but there's a lot of like references to the other Mad Max movies. Like there's little, there's little things. On the, on the car that he's tied to, there's the pilot. It looks like Bruce Spencer's skull. Oh, sure. Like goggles. Like there's a whole bunch of little stuff.

Apparently, Band Incorporated, who talked. Did I talk about him last week? I don't know. Either way, he said that you could see Max's leg brace. Yeah, he's still wearing the brace. Yeah, I didn't notice that at all. A lot of the time when he's getting on and off the truck, on and off the trucks on the Fury Roads, you're like, there's his leg brace.

Oh, really? I didn't notice that. I mean, I think, you know, it's obviously been a lot of years, presumably. But he's still, I guess he's, like the leg still isn't broken, but I guess he's just got it on there for the sake of, I don't want this to break again. Yeah, exactly. He'd wear it.

He's still wearing the old jacket. Yeah, he's got the one sleeve. I like the poles that he was swinging back and forth on. Oh, yeah, you like that bit? That was a great bit. Yeah, it was a great bit. Yeah, it seems super dangerous. But so much of that where you see Tom Hardy like swing past

and then in the background, doesn't seem that far away, a truck barrel rolls and explodes. Yes. Like that's amazing. They all looked very good. There is right at the end, I felt there was a shot that was a little bit too CG. Yes, with the guitar, exactly.

Where the truck, Nux flips his truck, everything else smashes under it and all the debris and whatever is flying out. I thought that was a bit CGI-ish. Look, a lot of that was probably practical, but that guitar didn't seem... No, that kind of threw out the whole thing. And I guess, yeah, but yeah.

It doesn't matter. But everything else looked incredibly real and dangerous, which I think was great. Yeah, that's the best. But also, George Miller was saying stuff like, the good thing about this is now you can do more dangerous stuff because but it's safer like you can because you can put harnesses on somebody and fling them from car to car and then you just digitally remove the harnesses yeah so it looks you know it's less dangerous but it looks it still

looks real because you were actually physically throwing it but at the same time you're not you're not just throwing somebody with no safety work at all, which they did back in the day. And he was saying even stuff like, you've got the luxury of, he used to do this when he was a kid, you'd go and see whatever movie and you could count how many takes it took to do a particular car stunt because you'd see the tyre tracks. Oh, exactly.

But now he goes, you can just CGI the sand flat. Right. So stuff like that like it's pretty amazing like this is this feel to me and again i said this in my review it feels like a culmination of we're getting back to more practical effects yes like this feels like this is how you do it do you know what i mean like this is the perfect mix of cgi and and practical stuff everything should be like this like this. There should be more practical dinosaurs in Jurassic World. Absolutely.

Like puppets-y stuff, I mean. Like genuine. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, it's too late now. It's done, right? Surely. I still think, I'm hoping that'll still be good.

Anything else? That's about it. I enjoyed the fact that the war boys chromed. Yes. I thought that was funny. Yeah. That's pretty good. Yeah. Yeah chromed. Yes. I thought that was funny. Yeah. That was pretty good. Yeah.

Yeah. That was amazing. I love that. Well, if we've got nothing else to say. Yeah. Ever. We're done. I know.

Let's retire Mad Max style. Yeah. Wander off into nothing. I've got the return of a- What did you think of the music? Yeah, it was good. Intense, I guess. I didn't really-

Again, I think it's- It's a shot here's another slap in the face another slap in the face uh to tom holkenberg who created the music that's um he used to record as junkie xl i don't know if he still does i don't know that is oh he did do you remember that elvis a little less conversation oh yeah but that became big yeah it was a remix that was him yeah uh anyway he did the music for this but again another slap in the face because it must the music must have been good because I didn't notice it

that's the strongest praise I can ever give to the music in a movie it didn't distract me because it was awful but you noticed the guitar man yeah I did yeah boy did I

that's good awesome alright Mason well I'm gonna I'm gonna return of a fan favourite segment which would be much requested by me

you specifically I requested it but also a lot of other people I know what's coming here yep hate mail but the hate has an eight in it great so basically requested by me you specifically i requested but also a lot of other i know what's coming here yep hate mail but the hate has an eight in it great so basically this i've been storing up my hate mail yep good um so i could because if you're gonna do it do it let it all out in one burst exactly like i don't want to do one a week or whatever exactly i i thought we'll do it this week because

why the hell not the first one is mad max related. Oh, great. And so I thought, what a great segue. Yep. This is from Christopher Hovde. H-O-V-D-E. Hovde? Sure. Anyway, this is on my Mad Max Fury Road review. Can you say biased out loud three times fast?

This shit is feminist propaganda. Nice. Very good. Very good. This one's on my Suicide Squad Worst Joker Ever video, ever video where i just said it's fine don't worry about it they'll change it it'll be fine zach austin austin says whoever made this shut up about the joker he is the best it's a good point no there's no punctuation in that yeah good good why would there be this is on this is actually from the av club when i got i got the the video on av club well i didn't get it i think i actually maybe no i know exactly what

which one you're talking about because i took a screenshot out of it and i was going to bring it up do you want to do it i can't remember where i put it so okay this is from a don good lord do people make a habit out of listening to this guy's voice my first listen lasted fewer than two seconds and youtube counted. Very good. Yep, that is precisely the one. That is my favourite. Give it more than two seconds, alright?

This is on my Suicide Squad video. Three reasons why I'll be awesome. Talbona says, you talk too much. That is true, you do. Yeah. Especially on some sort of audio medium where you're required to talk

and the entire point of what you're doing is talking. You definitely talk too much. This one's actually, it also related to a video that you were in, but I don't think it's directed to you. There is one that is directed to you. Oh, good, I'm ready. Yeah, but we'll get to that.

This is from Chuckles. Hey, Chuckles. 420 Ication. This is on the, remember we talked about the best and worst Batman suits? Yes. One of us said, I think it was me, that I don't like the Tim Batman suit

because it's all smudgy and weird. Oh, yeah, sure. Anyway, he says... And it's like a fruit roll-up. It's like a fruit roll-up, yeah. Have you ever thought that maybe this is just your own opinion and not everybody else's? Yes.

Yeah. I do think that. What's also interesting is that in a lot of your videos you do say by the way this is only my own opinion like you make that very clear i like all the bat suits but the one you pissed me off about is the 1989 batman movie suit it was their first try at making a bat suit so have respect and then next comment underneath but then then again, you're British. Also, it's the wrong you're. Great.

Fantastic. Combine all the greatest things there. This is the one that's directed to you because you said you don't like the Christopher Reeves, sorry, Reeves, Superman movies, but Grant Little says, don't slag off Reeve films. Superman 2 with Zod was a classic. And in Man of Steel, Russell Crowe was a kick-ass scientist before he got stabbed.

That is definitely relayed some of the plot of Man of Steel. And I enjoy it. Very good. This is one of my six things you missed from Batman v Superman trailer. I hate Neil deGrasse, atheist asshole. And then another comment underneath this is clearly after they've watched the video

hang on what was the video which one was it Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice he's in it Neil deGrasse Tyson is in it yeah he does like

he's one of the voiceovers at the start oh okay right so he hates him because he's an atheist asshole then he says he's clearly watched the video because then he says

actually I hate the tool that made this dumb video spewing the obvious details with a super annoying narrative dot dot dot ky kill yourself oh is that what that is i couldn't i didn't know what that was definitely kill yourself yeah i didn't know i'm not i'm not i don't know that for sure but i would assume that would be my assumption that it's he's telling you to kill yourself. This is my Star Wars Force Awakens Things You Miss teaser trailer 2. Boring Australians. Boring dot, dot, dot Australians. Yes.

You're not even in that. There's only one of us. He just means generally. Oh, okay. So he wouldn't enjoy Mad Max Fury Road. Okay. No, he wouldn't. He's in that 1%.

He's one of those fat cats in the 1%, mate. So these are on two different videos, but they have a similar kind of theme. So I'll end with this. Fantastic. There's he wouldn't. He's in that 1%. He's one of those fat cats in the 1%, mate. So these are on two different videos, but they have a similar kind of theme. So I'll end with this. Fantastic. There's more than eight. Normally, hate mail traditionally is supposed to have eight, though it's never had eight.

No, let's break the rules this one time and every time. Yeah. So this is on my Five Ways Batman Can Beat Superman video. This is from Nazmuth. Nazmus. Dude, please include subtitles from now on. I'm having a hard time understanding you, which is fair,

but I'm not going to do that. No, absolutely. Why would you? And this is on my interstellar... Also, I think YouTube does it automatically now. I think it does, yeah. Though it doesn't read my voice well, like, at all.

Of course not. You've got a bad-sounding voice. I do. And this one is on my Interstellar Explained video. This is from Kaiser Soze. Please put subtitles in American. I can't understand what you are saying. And be quick about it, or I will give you thumbs down.

Ooh, watch out. And that's another episode of Hate Mail, but with an 8. I can't go back. Do I re-upload it? What does he want me to do? I don't know. It's pretty good. He's just on the internet, and everybody on the internet's unhappy.

Yeah, you're right. Be better on the internet.'s just on the internet and everybody on the internet's unhappy. Yeah, you're right. Be better on the internet. Be better on the internet. Well, so hate mail, but the hate has an eight in it. We'll return. Oh, yes. I'll bank him. Oh, good.

And then we'll see how we go. No fake hate mails, we can tell. We can tell. That's right. Have genuine hate or don't bother. Exactly. Go hard or go home, all right? All right.

You know what it's time for then? What's it time for? What are we reading? Oh, what are we going to read? I'm doing the thing. What are we reading today? What are you reading? Well, now that you mention it,

I'm probably going to track down that Nux prequel comic. I don't think it's out yet. Well, I'm going to track it down. Then you'll know. Then I'll bloody know what his backstory is. I have a similar watch we read in. Okay. Also, last week I watched Not Quite Hollywood.

It was really good. Cool. Should I check it out? Yeah, check it out. It's fun. There's actually a 1970s Bruce Lee style kung fu movie, like an Australian one called The Man from Hong Kong, which I'm going to watch.

I don't know if it's any good. I bet it's not. I bet it's not. I think I'm going to skim it, but I'm'm gonna track that down as well awesome well actually that you saw that on Netflix yeah there's been a lot of Downton Abbey playing in my house recently yeah not from me from a certain person who lives with me playing it right a woman I see you know what's up I know what you're talking about I'm just know, carrying on the traditional hate of females, which has been an undertone of this podcast.

So I've been watching a lot of that, I guess, because it's been on. But a lot of that show is just like, it's just like a stable hand can't serve at the dinner table. Or like, do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like a scullery made can't ride a horse. Like it's just all that. Do we learn eventually that the scullery maid can ride a horse?

Yeah, there's a lot of that. And it's a lot of like, if you're a butler and you've got a very specific job, you can't do another very specific butlering job. Right, of course, yeah. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like it's outrageous. Yeah, it's all right.

Oh, actually, you know what? Something I've been listening to recently, a podcast friend of mine, Micah Williams, friend of the show, comedian. He listens to our show. He better. Yeah, he does. Bloody oath he does. He has a podcast called Pop Quiz Hot michael williams friend of the show comedian uh he listens to our show he better yeah he did but he does he has a podcast called pop quiz hot shot oh good name it's like it's very good right and he gets um he gets a lot of like guest comedians and stuff like that uh and his wife is on there as well she's a contestant all the time and they sort of they do pop quiz kind of uh like a competition to see who's the best at pop quizzes and there's a

lot of fun it's very funny and there's a lot of fun it's very funny and there's a lot have you been on it? no are you going to be on it? potentially alright yeah

I'm very old I get tired easily I don't know if I go on other shows but it's really good and you should check that out I will check it out thank you for the heads up

I did actually there's a Mad Max Fury Road inspired artist's book it's like 65 different artists interpret comic book artists interpret the world of fury road um so i downloaded that to have a look at it okay it's like 17 bucks so it's quite steep yeah yeah for a digital copy um but it was you know there's some good art in there yeah can i skim it later yeah definitely great but also i did watch ex machina oh finally now let's just say

that I definitely watch it legally how? let's leave it there very specifically tell me how you did that considering it's probably not out in Australia I found a cinema that it was playing in near my house and I went there

could I go to that now? it sounds really intriguing I think it was once I think it was only once just the once but if I went to that cinema you're talking about and asked them about it they'd be able to tell me about that one session they did I think they was once. I think it was only once. But if I went to that cinema you're talking about and asked them about it, they'd be able to tell me about that one session they did.

I think they fired everybody afterwards. They fired everybody there. That's interesting. Because the scullery maid was riding a horse or something. So if I went on maybe Twitter, I could probably find other people who'd watched it. Look, it was a very private screening. There was only me and maybe one other person there.

Who was the other person? I can't say, mate. It's not important. Fine. Fine. But anyway, you watched it. Totally legal. I really liked it it's really messed up

I've been looking forward to that movie for like a year and I complained last year last week that I couldn't see it anywhere

so I have seen it fantastic and I really liked it great so maybe we'll do an episode on like AI movies and stuff

at some point AI AI yeah I'd love to talk about it. Chappie again. We'll just edit in the entire episode where we talked about Chappie. That's it.

It's from Courtney Heck though. She sent in a What We're Reading this week. Fantastic. I try to include a What We're Reading. If we get a What We're Reading, I'll include it. You remember Courtney? Yeah. This week I finished reading the book

Ables by Jeremy Scott. If you recognize the name, this is because Jeremy is the co- From the Adidas. The Adidas guy? Never mind. Co-founder of the voice of YouTube Cinema S the from the adidas the adidas guy never mind co-founder of the boy uh and voice of youtube cinema sins i was also the adidas guy i think he is he's very

rich i was also excited i was excited when i heard the book about the book and pre-ordered it so i get as soon as possible the book is a group about a group of super powered children however each has a disability that they have to overcome um i love the book and i would highly recommend it as really interesting superhero story and it is great for people like me who prefer novels over comics. Very good. Nerd.

Superhero stories in novel form have never really grabbed me as much. Because there's no pitches. There's no pitches. There's no pretty pitches. But there's still some pretty good ones out there. Yeah, there is. Okay, good.

I'm on board. I'm going to check this out. Cool. All right. Do you love Cinema Sins? Yeah. Do you really? I don't know. Yeah, there is, yeah. Okay, good. I'm on board. I'm going to check this out. Cool. All right. Do you love Cinema Sins? Yeah. Do you really? I don't know what that is.

Really? Yeah. Okay, never mind. Time for letters. Letters. Letters. And then we'll go. I love you.

Some letters. They're only a day away. They're right now. They are. All right, guys. Just saw Mad Max Fury Road and Bloomin' loved it. Very good. Especially how Mad Max was actually pretty unhinged

In this one Do you agree? Just asking you That's me asking Yeah He still doesn't strike me As that mad He got mad when

Nux took his jacket Yeah give him his jacket back And his car And his bloody car But other than that He wasn't super mad Most of the time He's mostly just stoic

Anyways Which again is very true To the character True Anyways what do you guys Want to see in the sequel? Apparently the title's Going to be Mad Max Furiosa super mad most of the time. He's mostly just stoic. Anyways. Which again is very true to the character. True. Yeah. Anyways, what do you guys want to see in the sequel? Apparently the title is going to be Mad Max Furiosa. Yep.

What's that about? All caps. That's just putting another character's name on the bloody subtitle. That'd be like making a movie called Superman, Batman. It sure would. By the way, can I be the official biker mouse from Mars of the podcast? Yes. Keep up the good work, you dickheads.

JD. Yeah, so originally Mad Max Furiosa and Fury Road were going to film at the same time. Interesting. And I'd imagine what happened was, because the budget blew out on this. Right. It's like $150 million or whatever.

And they probably thought, well, it's been 30 years since a Mad Max movie. Maybe this will tank. Yeah, he could George Lucas it. Right, exactly, yeah. So I'd imagine that's why they didn't. But also, generally, when they film things back to back, not great, generally.

Matrix sequels. Pirates 2 and 3. Yeah. Other things. Yeah. Can't think of any others. No. Lord of the Rings were good.

Yeah. And The Hobbit, not as much. Yeah, so what do you want to see in it? If it's called Furiosa, those bloody- Probably an origin story. Could be. But it's- That is a good question.

If it's an origin story, I think it couldn't be 100% origin. I think it'd have to be- Back and forth. I think it'd have to be sequel to this one, plus origin stuff. Because otherwise people would complain there's not enough Mad Max in it. Plus origin stuff. Because otherwise people will complain there's not enough Mad Max in it. Although it might be interesting to see, like, to set the prequel,

maybe Mad Max is on an adventure. Yep. And Furiosa is on an adventure having an origin kind of thing. Yep. And then it sort of dovetails into Fury Road. Okay, sure. I think that would work. All right, sure. I would say, because, you know, again, we don't know how, if indeed Fury Road was a

sequel to Thunderdome. Yeah. We don't know how many years it was in between. Yeah. So maybe it's a whole bunch of years. How'd she lose that arm? How'd she lose the arm? Exactly.

But also, do you lose the element of something when you explain everything that happens? You probably do. Yeah. Okay. Just make it a sequel then. Make it a sequel. Yeah. But then again, like, would that mean that she's running probably do. Yeah. Okay. Just make it a sequel then. Make it a sequel. Yeah. But then again,

like would that mean that she's running the town? Yeah, that would be. So the next one's just going to be logistics. Maybe she's gone like Tina Turner mad. Yeah, man. Okay. Maybe. From Thunderdome.

Yeah, mad makes us to stop her. Yeah. He wouldn't really though. He'd probably just keep going. Probably just drive off. It feels like he only stops something if it's in his direct path. Yeah, I think so.

And it's stopping him from wandering in the desert yeah yeah then he'll yeah yeah no that'll be i'm really looking forward to it it's weird for a sequel because you don't want the world to become

too ordered okay you don't want the people to get complacent in this world you still want this world to be doomed i think because if they're like oh now we've got

agriculture and blah blah i'm like i guess yeah you want if anything they're gonna have agriculture for the first 10 minutes and then a new team of villains shows up. Anti-agriculture people. Yeah, just burns everything in the ground.

Yeah, cool. That's what you want. I'm all for that. Well, there's all sorts of towns near it. We didn't see, you know, there's that town that makes petrol or whatever. Yeah. We didn't really see that or what's going on there. That's true, yeah.

So maybe that's the rival. Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Got another letter here. Hey, Nick and James, my name is none of your business. Oh, very good. And recently- When you think about it, at some point Mad Max is going to have to get to the coast, right?

I guess. I mean, where did he start? Ballarat, right? Yeah, he started Ballarat. So what direction? You just go south, yeah. That's probably about two and a half hours to the coast. Yeah.

Maybe. Should have made it there by now. Yeah, probably less actually. He looks like he's just going north. He's just going more into the centre. Up through the bloody red centre, mate. Yeah. Stay out of that.

There's nothing there, mate. There's nothing there. Although, when you think about it, if Australia was destroyed in a nuclear apocalypse, they would probably leave Central Australia alone because there's nothing there. Yeah, I guess so. So if you go there, it's probably the best now.

Probably got all sorts of palm trees. No, there's literally nothing in there. It's mining towns and whatever. Anyway, sorry, back to none of your business. Anyway, the Thor... None of your business, Joe. Yes. Everyone gets a demand.

The Thor reveal has been made, who the female Thor is. So if you don't want to know who this is, just maybe tune out for a few minutes. Do you want to know? Yeah, kind of. Is it an original character or is it a- No, it's new. No, existing. Okay.

Jane Foster. Oh, there we go. Right. So it's revealed that- It's a Red Hulk reveal. Yes. She changes, she loses a big mustache, and she turns into female Thor. As everyone knows, Jane is the love interest of Thor in the MCU and in the comics.

What do you guys think of Jane being worthy of the hammer? By the way, you guys are super cool, keep up the good work, and can I be the official sidekick of Nick Mason? No, you're super cool. You're all right. Yeah, sure you can. I don't know. I haven't been invested in the story at all because I haven't read it.

I read the first three. It doesn't really matter. I guess, you know, she's been through some stuff with Thor. Well, the current thing with Jane Foster is she has cancer. Oh. And every time she thaws up,

it's like it's killing her. Every time she thaws out. Thaws out, yeah. Yeah. And, but the question here is, so yeah, what do you think about her being worthy? I'd imagine because she's doing it and it's killing her, that makes her worthy. Oh, interesting.

Yeah, you're probably right. I mean, I haven't read it, so I don't know about that issue. Yeah, you're probably right. I guess the idea of being worthy is you have to be a worthy warrior and all that sort of stuff. So I guess if you've been through enough stuff with Thor, you probably are worthy kind of thing. If you've saved the universe a couple of times, et cetera, et cetera, you probably are.

But at the same time, again, being completely uninvested in the storyline, I kind of wanted it to be an original character. Okay, sure. But there you are. There you are, Mason. Would you like to see... What's her name? Takeover in the movies? Well, yeah, what's her name?

Natalie Portman. Natalie Portman, no. Not even for a second? Oh, yeah, for a second, sure. One second. Yeah, for one second. Yeah. Maybe.

Might go that way eventually. It's from Malie, who's written in before with all sorts of scoops. Oh, yeah. Old Scoopy Malie. Old Scoops Malay. Did you guys see, and what do you think of the Crossbones costume? Did you see that? I saw it very briefly.

It looks pretty good. I liked it a lot. Solid, yeah. And it makes sense he's wearing a mask. It does make sense. Because Crossbones does. And also he's got his face burned off. Yeah.

Yeah, it looks pretty solid. I'm all for it. Are you against it? And it looks kind of, you know, it looks shield-y as well. Do you hear that banging? Yeah. What the hell is that? Stop it, Are you against it? And it looks kind of, you know, it looks shield-y as well. Do you hear that banging? Yeah. What the hell is that? Stop it, whoever you are! They just keep going. They just keep going.

It's getting tense. Should I probably go check that out? Yeah, maybe. Alright, I'll be back. Talk to the listeners. I won't. I'm gonna be in total silence. I'm gonna take a weapon. Yeah, good thing. Do you mind if I take one of your shoes yeah no take one of my shoes sure take the vacuum

they stopped oh wait now they're continuing you know what it is what is it there's some fucking hipster he's dressed oh here we go he's dressed. Oh, here we go. He's dressed in

like little shorts and flannel and he's got a beard and Ray-Bans and a backwards hat and he's got a he's got a bloody lacrosse stick

and he's throwing a ball up against the side of my where we live. Not us. You told him to stop? What are you going to do? Let's let it go, insanity man anyway press on wait does he live around here i've never seen him before anyway if you know who that guy is is that coming through on the headphones probably is yeah

uh anyway let's knock this out real quick. Okay. So what do you think, Crossbone Costumes? It's fine? Yeah, it's good. It's pretty good. Again, as a former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, it makes sense. Yeah, it does.

It looks real good. Last letter here. Okay. Hi, I'm Dean from Ireland. I love your podcast and I was looking to see your opinion on something. Since two of you make fun of movies a lot. It's true. I was wondering what you two...

Patrick Ireland. I was wondering what you two thought of Ireland. I was wondering what you two thought of the upcoming film Big Game starring Samuel L. Jackson. Do you know what that is? Nope, not at all. It's the one where he's the president

and he crashes in the... in Russia or something in the jungle or the forest and then a Russian boy saves him or something. Huh. And they team up.

It's Samuel L. Jackson and a Russian boy with a bow and arrow. In the jungle. It's the forest. The forest. The Russian forest. What do you think? Look, I'm open to it.

I'm really looking at this Crossbones costume. It's pretty good. He's got these solid punching arms. Yeah. Real solid punching gauntlets. He does, doesn't he? Well, he'd need it, wouldn't he? Yeah, exactly. If solid punching gauntlets. He does, doesn't he? Well, he'd need it, wouldn't he? Yeah, exactly.

If you're fighting Captain America. Can I show you, just very quickly, a clip from the latest Entourage movie? Yes. This is a classic example of Vinny Chase getting exactly what he wants. Okay, sure. Everything working out. So this is what we could expect from- So this is the new movie.

From the new Entourage movie. Where he gets to do the movie. All right, here we go. So he's about to show a premiere of his new movie. He says, I'm going to show you the movie Entourage movie. Where he gets to do the movie. Alright, here we go. So he's about to show a premiere of his new movie. I mean, he might have been nervous, I can't tell, because you're not very good at emoting.
