like that every week definitely official podcast of comicbookmovie.com where we talk movies and games and tv shows we will talk games soon so that's not entirely the light of the week. Yeah, okay, sure. And yeah, and I'm Mr. Sunday Movies, also named James, and you are Nick Mason. Yes. Normally you introduce yourself, sorry. No, that's fine. I was just going to say another intro knocked out of the park.

I'm doing that thing where I put my hand over my eyes to indicate that I'm... It's gone a far way. It's gone a really long way. Yeah, sure. You're a bloody Babe Ruth mate of podcasting. Have you got your PlayStation 4 yet or your Xbox One for your... No, we took Arkham Knight. When is that out?

Very soon? 23rd. Yeah. Well, I'm reading the Arkham Knight prequel comic. Spoiler alert. It's fine. Yeah, I don't... Arkham Knight is going to. Spoiler alert. It's fine.

Arkham Knight is going to be one of those games, I'm pretty sure, where every retailer has a different exclusive. Yeah, absolutely. Like for one, you go to one place and you can get the Red Hood DLC and you can get the Batman skin where it's his first appearance in the 40s or whatever. And then if you go to another place, it's the blah-de-blah. So I don't know. Sometimes I'm a bit hesitant with those because it's sort of choosing which stuff you don't get to play as.

You're exactly right, yeah. And it's the most expensive. It's the most expensive. And then you wait like three months and you're bloody this complete edition. Exactly. I think the majority of the stuff is PS4 exclusive. Okay.

That's my understanding of it. I should buy a PS4. That's what I'm going to get. But yeah, I still got to work out finances and whatever. They're not cheap. They're cheaper than the PS3. They're cheaper than, say, a gold mine. They're cheaper than a gold mine, definitely, yeah.

Yeah, but I'm looking forward to playing it, definitely. Yeah, absolutely. Anyway, straight to the news, the movie news. Sure. And the TV news. Yeah, and other types of news. Absolutely. James Wan, director of, he did like some of the Insidious movies.

He did Saw. He did the Last Fast and Furious 7 movie. Last Fast and Furious 7. That's the one. Yep. Last Furious. Ooh. That'd be a great name for one.

Last Furious? No? And that would draw in like people who only see the last versions of things. Exactly. Yep. Yeah. This is definitely the last one. Oh, okay, cool last versions of things. Exactly. Yep. Yeah. This is definitely the last one. Oh, okay, cool.

That's it. Exactly. And then you trick him, you bring it back again. That's right. First and furious. We're back. Anyway, he's going to direct Aquaman. Okay, cool.

2017's Aquaman. So yeah, he seems like he's, I mean, because of the Fast and Furious, he handled that well. Like he adapted to that franchise. Yeah. And, you know, he had his mean because of the fast and furious he handled that well like he adapted to that franchise oh yeah and you know he had his horror kind of roots and now he's kind of it's shown from furious 7 that he could just he could do different stuff uh-huh you know what i mean so i think he's a good choice that somebody released i've got this saved on my phone it's it's um but it doesn't have a rude five song it's a rude five song it song. It's the list of all the superhero movies that are going to come out up until 2019. Okay.

It's like 41 films. Great. Superhero films specifically. Awesome. I don't know who made this, but man, there's a lot coming out. Who made the movies? Different people. Oh, different people, sure.

Yeah. On this list, though, there's a list that's to be determined. They don't know when they're coming out. Okay, sure. What do we got? Well, there's Justice League Dark. There's a Superman and a separate Superman and Batman films. There's X-Force New Mutants.

But there's also two Bloodshot films and two Harbinger films. They were like Valiant Comics characters from the 90s. Did we talk about that? Maybe. Valiant Comics struck a deal with a major studio. I can't remember which one, to bring a whole lot of their stuff to the big screen. Wow.

So, yeah. I did not see that coming. Are you a fan of any of those? Yeah, yeah. But not Bloodshot and Harbinger. X-O Manowar, certainly. Ninjak. Eternal Warriors. All the greats. But not these two. X-O Manowar, certainly. Ninjak. Eternal Warriors.

All the good ones. All the greats. But not these two. That's fine. I don't know. Okay. Well, I guess they're probably the most commercially viable. They don't go, which one does Nick Mason like?

We'll do that one. Yeah. They probably do the opposite, if I'm honest with you. Also, X-O Manowar is basically an Iron Man ripoff. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. So why wouldn't they do it? Well, yeah.

Yeah. Is he like a smug kind of prick? Ah, he's like a Visi-Goth from the past. Okay. Who gained like an alien battle armour. Ah, so is he actually, is it set in the past? No, it's set in the present. Because if it was in the past, that's an unfair...

Due to time dilation, I think. Because that would be an unfair advantage. He'd win all kinds of gladiatorial battles with me. Exactly. With that plasma cannon on his arm. That's right. One guy's got a spear and a net plasma cannon on his arm. That's right. One guy's got a spear and a net and he's got missiles.

That's right. It'd be like if Napoleon had a fighter jet. Oh, yeah. It's not really fair, is it? Anyway, I guess I'm looking forward to those. Absolutely, you are. Yeah. Great.

More news? Do you want more news? Yes. Power Rangers. Great. Next set of news. Do you want an update on when that movie's coming? I guess.

Well, it is coming still. I can't remember when exactly. But the director, Dean Israelite, he said that it's going to be really cool. I thought you were just going to end with the director, Dean. Yeah, Dean. You know my mate, Dean. Yeah, bloody Dean. You met him. You know, he called it really cool, contemporary, mature, but still playful.

He would, though, wouldn't he? Like your mum. Sorry. Sorry, go on. Yeah, he would say that he's the director he's not gonna say look this is a piece of claptrap yeah it's remember those toys and stuff and those old tv shows it's gotta be the same as that you know i'm just you know i'm just sort of i'm sort of phoning that this in did you see any of those power rangers movies there was the one in 95 and i think they did one in 97 from memory no it was power rangers just after my time okay yeah and i think at the time i'm like well this is just a ripoff of voltron but then voltron's a ripoff of

something else yeah it's all they're all just they all just drew from the same bank of i'm does somebody out there know what the original version of that is of the things coming together things combining together making a big thing? Yeah. And there's some sort of space defense force. What's the original version of that? Somebody email in because I'd like to actually see that. And when I say I'd like to say that, I probably wouldn't

because it's probably really terrible. Yeah. At Wikipedia Brown. Yeah, that's me. And at Mr. Sunday Movies. I also want to know that. Two people. Yeah.

Get us bloody both in. Maybe send separate tweets and give us different information so we have to put the puzzle together so yeah National Treasure style yeah so that's cool I guess

I mean a lot of people are saying remember that that fan film that was made recently that was really good that was really good yep they're like well

just do that give it to that guy which I can understand because that was really good. That was really good. Yep. They're like, well, just do that. Give it to that guy. Which I can understand because that was really good. I guess now- That's the only Power Rangers thing I think I've seen when I've gone like, oh yeah. Yeah. That's, it is interesting to think about what this actual

official Power Rangers movie is going to be like, right? Like, is it going to be a reboot? Is it going to be set in the same universe? Yeah, yeah. Like, because the Green Ranger is still Green Rangering, whatever his name is. I don't know what his real name is. Okay.

But he's like an MMA guy or whatever. Oh, interesting. He's like maybe 41, 42 or whatever. Okay. I think his name is Jason something. So, yeah. Because, yeah, if they're just following the old path, it's just going to be reused footage and weird Technicolor costumes

and stop motion stuff? Zords. Zords. Or are they going to actually make it look not ridiculous? Are they going to put a serious take on this? I assume so. Because sometimes... I think it's going to be Star Trek reboot.

Really? That kind of tone. That's what I think they'd go for. Because sometimes when a reboot happens like this, they go, okay, well, the kids who enjoyed it are adults now. that's what I think they'd go for. Because sometimes when a reboot happens like this, they go, okay, well, the kids who enjoyed it are adults now. Let's do it. A bit of grit.

Yeah, a bit of grit. But sometimes they're just like, oh, no, actually, we're going to give this to a new generation of kids. Here's the same old garbage. Except somebody's hat's on backwards or whatever. Sure. One of them's got nunchucks. I'm going to say hat on backwards garbage.

You're going to say Star Trek reboot. Yeah. I'm not saying it's going to be as'm going to say hat on backwards garbage. You're going to say Star Trek reboot. Yeah. I'm not saying it's going to be as good, but I'm saying that's what they're going for. Okay, cool. Do you remember the Thunderbirds reboot that was live action? That was gritty because they were live.

They were real. Hats on backwards. Yeah. Heaven is a half pipe. All right, continue. Speaking of reboots. Yes. You're a big fan of

Big Trouble in Little China? Yes. Are you a big fan of that being rebooted? With The Rock? Yeah. We'll see. I really like Big Trouble in Little China.

I don't think I've ever seen it fully. It's pretty good. Is it too late now? Like, if I see it, will I be like, oh, yeah. I think you will like it. Okay. Because it's pretty weird. Reboot, hat backwards. Trucker hat backwards. Trucker hat backwards. He's got a trucker hat. Exactly. It's pretty weird. Yeah. Reboot, hat backwards.

Trucker hat backwards. Trucker hat backwards. He's got a trucker hat. Exactly. He's a truck driver. Pork Chop Express. Because sort of the premise of that character is he's really full of himself. Yeah.

And he's not that good. He's got really good reflexes. Okay. But otherwise he's just kind of a regular guy who kind of thinks he's a lot better than he is. Yeah. But if you get The Rock. rock he's enormous he's an enormous man like if he said i'm the strongest man in the world you'd be like probably so that kind so they're gonna have to tweak that character i think yeah yeah can you yeah because it's it's kind of hard to see the rock as an everyday man yeah oh no there's like a character who's full of himself but can't back it up yeah you're right it's they should have more scenes in movies with the rock where someone

just turns to him and goes oh my god you're enormous like what is it what did you do like he's unusually big are you wearing a muscle suit what's happening he's like his arm is as wide as a man, like a regular man. Yeah. Anyway. Yeah, you know what? The Rock is the thing that sold you on it. If they were like, we're doing a reboot and we're getting the guy who's playing the new

transporter to be him, would you be like, but if it's The Rock, you're like, eh. Yeah, no, I think you're right. Yeah. Yeah, I think I'm kind of interested to see where they go with the weirdness this time around, considering actual special effects and technology. He goes up against an ancient Chinese wizard or something? Pretty much. And he fights these three elemental fury characters, ones like Raiden.

I think that might have actually been the inspiration for Raiden. Not the actual historical mythological figure Raiden, who I think might be, I was going to say real. He's not real. Look, I know he's not real. Nobody email in. But I think when they were building the Mortal Kombat universe, they looked to Big Trouble Little China and was like,

oh, he's got the guy, he's got the rice paper hat, and he's got lightning powers and stuff. They took a lot from everything, like Johnny Cage's Van Damme. Yes. Or he was supposed to be anyway in the book yeah that's it is it better than Ghostbusters or on par I've

seen Ghostbusters a lot more yeah but you've seen Big Trouble Little Chinatown a lot less so I'm trapped in a web of logic yeah no I haven't been it's not as well remembered yeah I can re-watch Ghostbusters

you know what I'm bloody gonna re-watch Big Trouble in Little China okay yeah I wanna see if it's on Netflix it's probably not it's probably not whenever I go to see something

actually like I'm like ah that's when we did the Jurassic Park commentary last week which people can download at Weekly Planet oh plug it plug it in

our Patreon or whatever it's not there yep It was when we did the Jurassic Park commentary last week, which people can download at Weekly Planet. Oh, plug it. Plug it in. Our Patreon or whatever. It's not there. Yep. So whenever I, you know, I found that whenever I want something specifically, it's not there. Great.

Is it better? No, they're completely different things. Okay, sure. Yeah. All right. A bunch of Star Wars rumours. Okay, great. For the Star Wars franchises. Ing. One. One franchise. So they're talking talking this is reported by the schmo's nose oh yeah they reported that trust our content

because our name rhymes that's it exactly right that's right anyway the first bit of use is the you know they're talking about you know the anthology movies that start they aren't numbered star wars movies they're just like set whenever. Yep. The next one, the Boba Fett one is apparently going to be a young Han Solo, young Boba Fett movie set before A New Hope. Okay. Where they go head to head or whatever, I guess. It's also, it says they'll feature fan favorite characters such as Chewbacca.

Oh yeah. Lando. Yes. And Bosk. I love Bosk. They're all the same, aren't they? Stupid reptile head, I love Bosk. They're all the same, aren't they? His stupid reptile head. I don't know.

See, what they're going to have to... Because what I hope this results in is we see this rivalry between Han Solo and Boba Fett develop. Yeah. And then they add an additional... Like, they add some additional foley in, like, Empire Strikes Back, where they see each other. And they both go, You! It's bloody you!

I knew it! That'd be great. I would love that. But at the same time, I don't need to see this. Like, I don't want to see existing Star Wars characters in other movies, except for one that I'm going to talk about in a minute. Okay, great.

Yeah, because whoever they get to play young Han Solo and young Boba Fett, well, Boba Fett's irrelevant yeah he can be anybody really well yeah we've talked about before the rumor was that they've got to swap him out because otherwise you have to get the kid who played him in the prequels or you have to get Timura Morrison Timura Morrison I never know to say that yeah and I don't really need to say either of those guys so yeah exactly we have to you have to get it young actor who can play Han Solo convincingly, and people will never be happy with that casting choice.

No, no. Okay, so did you want to talk about that? Yeah, so the other thing reported was that one of the anthology's movies could be more mythological and spiritual-based and could even focus on a young Yoda. Played by Steven Seagal. The most spiritual man in Hollywood. Boy, is he.

Did you see the footage recently of him at like an Aikido tournament? Yoda or Steven Seagal? Both. Okay. They faced off. Dooku style. And it was basically guys coming at Steven Seagal and him like lightly touching them and then like flipping out of the way.

Oh, fantastic. It's really quite funny. funny love it yeah uh I don't want to see that either I don't want to see any more mystical crap from Star Wars and no more yeah exactly no more prequels yeah none of this no more prophecies it doesn't no more chosen ones we don't need to see Yoda's backstory we just he was just a guy in a swamp yeah it's fine that's the he was surprising that's yeah we don't need to see he doesn't have to be a character he just arrives in the swamp but he provides some wisdom and then he dies or whatever do you want to see Yoda with a full head of hair yes like sick Elvis oh yes and he's like when we first he rounds the corner and he like there's the fan is blowing he's blowing the hair out and he's looking amazing.

Maybe he's like regular sized and he's so old that he's just shriveled down. Oh, that'd be amazing. So, yeah, you get like a Garrett Hedlund, say. Yeah, absolutely. Just shrivel him up. God. And also, again, this Han Solo Boba Fett thing, it is ruining my hope for a Boba Fett Inspector Gadget style Mr. Magoo.

Bumbling idiot. He's just a bumbling idiot, yes. You mean continues to be a bumbling idiot. Correct. People say, look, he's in a lot of comics at the moment as well and he's doing cool stuff. Okay, right. Because you know it's a new canon now.

Uh-huh, yeah. But even so, I haven't seen him do anything cool in the movies yet. Exactly, not ever. Yeah. Yeah, so just and he's got a little droid yep that follows him around like like your penny and yeah and your whatever penny and brain penny and brain and they help him out and then the his boss at the the bounty hunter yeah bosk is like i don't know how you keep doing this boba fett and he's like

well you know when you're great you're great, you're great. When you're on a hot streak, mate. That's how the Inspector Gadget should have ended. He should have floated to like a monster. And by monster, you mean he activated his helicopter head and he flew into like a jumbo jet engine. Exactly. Yeah.

But also reported by the schmo's nose. Yes. Good guys, actually. Not that I've ever met them. I wasn't going to say a word against them. I don't know what your problem is. The rumor has it also that Disney are talking with Ewan McGregor about either a trilogy of Star Wars anthology movies

that will focus on Obi-Wan or one of those movies will be focusing on him. And it will be potentially taking place between episodes three and four where he's looking after Luke on Tatooine. Well, that's part of it. And it could include- There we go. There's another chance for a Mr. Magoo style movie

where little young Luke Skywalker is always about to walk off a platform or whatever into nothingness and Obi-Wan waves his hand. Yeah. Yeah. Uses a sand person to reach the gap. Thankwan waves his hand yeah yeah uses a sand person yeah thank you good the body of a sad person and it could feature owen lars as well and aunt baru and aunt baru well they could get joel edgerton back as well because he's great whoever played aunt baru yeah whatever whoever she was irrelevant but he in particular joel edgerton is a solid actor

and now he's well known he's completely unused i think he even said in an interview i'm completely unused come on hollywood he said he'd like to do more in a star wars movie than like to just like get a rag and like wipe his hands yeah and then drink some pink milk blue milk whatever it was so yeah and it's also said that it's it changes with the fashion absolutely i'm talking about in the past sorry milk i apologize and also could very well feature darth maul which would be awesome there's a comic called star wars visionaries i don't know if you've read it one of the stories is darth maul comes back to tatooine with a robot legs robot legs to kill obi-wan and he like threatens luke and obi-wan like comes out of the grip like he's hiding in the sand he comes out of the grip, like he's hiding in the sand. He comes out of the dust and they fight.

It's awesome. It's only short. Also, Darth Maul is alive in canon now. Oh, he's still alive. He's still alive. He's in the Clone Wars and the Clone Wars is canon. Interesting. And is he still alive Return of the Jedi time?

Well, no. We don't know what happened. Oh, we don't know. Okay, right. So he hasn't... In the Exp the expanded universe before it was erased was he killed at any point no no yeah he might still be alive that's what i'm saying okay great robot legs robot legs so i would love to see that again i don't need to see any existing characters but that character is obi-wan is wasted

yep and having it especially with an actor like ewan mcgregor uh-huh he's like one of the only good things about those movies so yeah more him just but just one you don't need three obi-wan yeah absolutely so yeah excited yes noted? I'm tentatively excited. Okay. I go back and forth. It depends on the day. Out of all these? It depends on how much I've thought about Star Wars prequels on any particular day.

Sure. Yeah. Out of all of these, what would you choose? Han Solo, Boba Fett, Yoda, Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan. Yeah. Awesome. Like the movie Unforgiven, but with Obi-Wan.

That's how you make it. Seen Unforgiven? Yes. Clint Eastwood. Yeah. Like the movie Unforgiven, but with Obi-Wan. That's how you make it. Seen Unforgiven? Yes. Clint Eastwood? Yeah, yeah. Yes. Before he went mad. Okay.

All right. One more piece of news, which will lead into the movies we'll talk about. Oh, that's convenient. Thank you. Weird how that keeps, by chance, that keeps working every week. I don't know how it happens. Yeah. We're just bloody amazing.

The universe is helping us out or something. Yeah. It's probably the secret. Yeah, we're just bloody amazing. The universe is helping us out or something. Yeah, it's probably the secret. Jason Statham was rumoured to be up for the role of Bullseye in the season two of Daredevil. That's right, yeah. But here's the thing. Apparently, the subsequent negotiations have been stopped.

Because Statham headbutted somebody. Yeah, Melissa McCarthy. Oh. Yeah. No, Melissa McCarthy. Oh. Yeah. No, and it was said that, first of all, he was asked about it. They're like, oh, there's rumors that you're going to be bullseye.

He's like, I don't like comic book movies. He goes something like, you can put anyone's grandma in like a superhero cape and stand in front of a green screen. He's like, he doesn't consider them real action movies or whatever. Interesting.

Yeah, which is fair, I guess. But over the course of this episode, I'm going to look up Jason Statham movies and find one of his total garbage that he agreed to do. Expendables 3. Oh, yeah. Total garbage. You're right.

That's exactly what I'm saying. So he's right in that sense, but yeah, the Expendables movies aren't better than anything. Absolutely not. They're worse than most things. So, yeah. But I like him. Yeah.

I think he's solid. He's really... And I'd like to see him as Bullseye. The other thing is, I looked this up a few years ago, because I remember this and it turned out to be true. Well, maybe true. It was rumoured that he wanted to be Daredevil. This was like in 2008. And Frank Miller wanted him to be Daredevil.

Interesting. So, he's kind of changed his tune, hasn't he? Yeah. How dare he change his mind on something? I don't like that at all. Let's boycott everything he does. That's right. So yeah, I would love to see him as a bullseye.

I wouldn't like to see him as bullseye. Wouldn't? Yes. Why? Because we had Colin Farrell as bullseye last time and I don't like this weird Eurocentric bullseye, if I'm perfectly honest with this weird Eurocentric bullseye if I'm perfectly honest with you let's get a bloody American in there but that was ridiculous like yeah guess I Statham wouldn't do it like that presumably I guess I don't know so yeah I

think he's really formidable like he looks very dangerous in real life and in movies that's true yeah and i guess he is he does look physically more imposing than the guy playing daredevil so that would be a that's a plus yeah okay exactly or colin farrell get colin farrell doesn't matter anybody as women our life stages come with unique risk factors, like high blood pressure developed during pregnancy, which can put us two times more at risk of heart disease or stroke.

FX's The Veil explores the surprising and fraught relationship between two women who play a deadly game of truth and lies on the road from Istanbul to Paris and London. One woman has a secret, the other a mission to reveal it before thousands of lives are lost.

FX's The Veil, starring Elizabeth Moss, is now streaming on Disney+. All right, do you want to talk about the movies we're going to talk about this week? Yes, let's talk about the movies we're going to talk about this week. Yes, do you want to start with the movie spy before we talk about the movie entourage yes yes great so i'll talk about spy non-spoilers yeah then some spoilers they will give you a time code somehow so i'll put it in the thing yeah um and then you could skip to entourage if you haven't seen spy you still want to what did you think of the movie spy i thought it was a little bit uneven yeah i'd agree with that yeah both jokes wise and plot wise yep uh a lot of the action sequences were quite good for a comedy movie for a comedy movie

very good jude lord did quite well as an action hero or his stunt double did i don't know do you think he'd be a good james? Not now. No. I agree. Yeah. I agree. Yeah. He looks like he's wearing a wig. Oh, he's definitely wearing a wig. He's days of a full head of hair behind him.

Let me see. Yeah, plot a little bit convoluted. Yeah, sure. I thought. A little bit too convoluted for the kind of movie. I thought it was a little bit muddled as to what it wanted to be. The plot, in terms if the plot in terms of the plot it's basically any spy movie you've ever seen correct with just but it's obviously

the jokes that that make it you know they carry that make it a comedy yeah but i mean like a lot of comedies but not all of them it's often the jokes that make it a comedy so like but i mean it's a standard bog standard spy movie like if that was just the movie, this has nothing. Because it's basically a terrorist has a bomb and they've got to find the bomb. They're trying to sell the bomb. Yeah. They've got to find the bomb. Yeah, you're right.

And that's essentially it. Did you think it was well cast as a movie that was cast? Oh, it was definitely well cast as a movie that was cast. Let me think. What do you think of Melissa McCarthy? Because a lot of people do not like her and a lot of people do like her i thought it was i don't think this is a spoiler because you see it in the trailers yeah i thought that she was going to get out of the trope of being of melissa mccarthy around okay like in bridesmaids and in the heat yeah there's

a melissa mccarthy character yeah who's always melissa mccarthy about yeah do you mean like foul mouth i mean foul mouth and then it's super aggressive and whatever sure and i'm like okay in this one like the first half hour of this i'm like oh they're not gonna do that trope they're gonna she's gonna give get a chance to you know work on some other aspects of this and yeah a new new persona kind of thing yeah and they did for a while but then as you can see it in the trailer for various reasons she has to switch back into being Melissa McCarthy.

Classic Melissa McCarthy and there's a lot of foul mouth and whatever. And I'm like, oh, I'm a little bit tired of this. See, I found that,

I like her generally. Yep. But I found that more in this movie that she earned that more because it kind of built to it. Yes, that's true, From the start.

Like, God damn it, sorry, my phone keeps going off yeah you're a real every character and entourage we'll talk about that later yeah so i felt like it was more kind of it made more sense that she was that way and it was kind of a natural progression and actually god i found a lot of that stuff that she did when she was melissa mccarthy and yes quite funny uh-huh yeah like the tirade she'd go on or

whatever particularly like the insults right but you're like i'm a little bit sick of those yeah well i'm not surprising anymore well i didn't see tammy i didn't see tammy and i didn't see uh the one where it's identity thief thief didn't say it also which which apparently isn't very good i've only seen bridesmaids in the heat yeah same yeah but a lot a lot of people are saying that this movie is like people who don't like melissa mccarthy saying oh no she's way better in this she's more tolerable like with this source material people yeah i'd say so yeah yeah more tolerable sure if you don't like melissa mccarthy yelling you will like most of this movie but not sure yeah do you like Do you like Mike and Molly? I've never seen Mike or Molly. I didn't realise for years that that was Melissa McCarthy.

Is that show still going? Couldn't be. Probably. Grey's Anatomy is still going. What? Isn't that a surprise, right? Didn't Dempsey leave? Yeah, he was killed or something.

But that's the thing. It appeared on Twitter. It's like Grey's Anatomy has killed off a major character. And I actually physically shook my phone when I saw that as a trending topic on Twitter. I'm like, is that from like four years ago? Like, why is this coming up in my feed? And I'm like, oh no, it's actually, that show's still going.

Everybody's left that show though, right? I don't know. I don't know. That's exactly it. All the viewers have certainly left. I don't know. It's weird that that was the biggest show in the world. Yeah.

God. If I lay here here if i just sorry yeah all right let's talk about the other actors then okay i thought she was good i liked her in it but she was good jude law what'd you say good action stuff good action stuff i'm surprised they didn't make i know he's i know it's the cia yeah i'm surprised they didn't make him like he transferred over from england or whatever and just had him be British. I thought initially because his British accent was so bad. I mean, his American accent is so bad that he was British. And then when he, you see this in the trailer, he accidentally kills a guy.

Yeah. And then he switches to his American accent. But he was American the whole time. Was that right? Yes, correct. God, he's not good at that, is he? Not at all, no. Did he do it in Sky Captain?

Can't remember. Because Statham's British. Just make them both British. He's the most British man in the world. Yeah, exactly. That's true. There's no... You're right.

I'd not thought about that. There's no explanation as to why Jason Statham, who's also in the CIA, is British and nobody bats an eyelid. Yeah. Anyway. And a lunatic and nobody bats an eyelid. But no, Jude Law's action stuff's pretty good. Yeah.

Like he's solid. It's kind of, it's not as good as the kind of... There's some very satisfying neck breaking. Absolutely there is. It's not as good as, what's his name, Harry from... Kingsman. Kingsman, yeah. But you know, it's solid, yeah.

I'd say it's more than solid. I thought the action sequence was very well choreographed. Okay, sure. I agree with that. Very impressive. Considering like what it is. It's a than solo. I thought the action sequence was very well choreographed. Okay, sure. I agree with that. Very impressive. Considering what it is. It's a comedy show. Yeah, exactly.

But I mean, again, if we're talking bad action movies, The Expendables. There's so much better than that. Leagues ahead of that, and it's a comedy. Hang your collective heads in shame, The Expendables. All The Expendables. Every member of The Expendables. Except for Stallone and Kelsey Grammer

on that weird fashion safari in the middle of that movie. Part three. Yeah. Look that up. Statham, though, is amazing. Yeah, I think so. Again, I don't think all his – maybe it's the crowd that I saw it with. I don't know why, but I was a little bit affected by the crowd.

I'm like, well, are they not loving this? I would use the word riotous when I saw it. Oh, really? Yeah, people were loving it. Okay. Yeah. Like more than I was, I think. Because I was like, yeah, this is good.

But I wasn't like rolling around. I found a lot of the jokes were like, hmm, that's pretty funny. Yeah. Like none of them are sort of laugh out loud hilarious. That's like a 30 Rock laugh. Yeah, exactly. A little bit of claptop. That's a very clever joke i agree with that yes um yeah again i don't think all his stuff landed but i think he had some great lines in there yeah

and you know some of his actions were clearly those like no one would act like that in real life no some of them were sort of oh that's how an insane person would act exactly yeah i liked how he demanded there be a face-off machine oh sure yeah i enjoyed that quite a bit uh rose burn um yeah plays that that unrealistically incredibly unlikable human being yes yeah like she did in bridesmaids she was all right but she was unlikable in that yeah she was unlikable i guess they're like i guess Yeah, she was unlikable. I mean, for different reasons. I guess Paul Feig, the director of this, was like, okay, well, she was supposed to be a good person in Bridesmaids and she was a bit unlikable and she's a genuine bad person in this.

So let's make her astounding unlikable. Yeah, yeah. Miranda Hart. Oh, is the best friend. Yeah. Is the goofy best friend. British again for no reason. Yeah.

Everybody in this movie is British. Peter Serafinowicz, British. So British. So British. Yeah, she's good. I like Miranda, huh? Yeah.

Yeah, but like you said, Peter Serafinowicz, voice of Darth Maul, maybe returning. Oh, yeah. Yeah, he's, I love that guy. I love him in everything.

What do you think of him in this? Great. Yeah. Why isn't that guy in everything? He just 100% commits to whatever. I reckon they're like, okay, we need a guy who's super creepy and will just grope and leer and lech his way all over this. Get Serafinowicz.

Yeah. He's like, absolutely, I'll do that. Sounds hilarious. If you don't know who he is as well, he's in Guardians of the Galaxy. He's one of the- He's the Nova Corps captain. Yeah. Yeah yeah and now he's bloody dead in that so disappointing yeah very disappointing he is also um for those who haven't seen it he's in the british uh sitcom spaced oh yeah he's good in that he's in the he's in a paint he's in the episode

where they go go paintball yeah yeah is that? Yeah. I think it's that one. And he's also in Shaun of the Dead. He's in Shaun of the Dead. He's kind of a dick in that. He's good. Yeah, he's great. One of the best. Yep.

So yeah, I didn't know he was coming. Pleasant surprise. Yeah, I didn't know he was in it either. What I liked about this though, it wasn't, there was some kind of fat jokes, but it didn't really rely on that falling down, I'm a fat person.

Oh, sure. Absolutely. That sort of stuff. There was a bit of that, but you know, like I haven't seen rely on that falling down, I'm a fat person. Oh, sure, absolutely, yeah. That sort of stuff. There was a bit of that. But, you know, like, look, I haven't seen a Kevin James movie ever, but I've seen all the trailers. Yep. And there's not a lot of, like, just falling down a flight of stairs

and jumping into a pool and landing on your stomach. Yeah, exactly. You know what I mean? Yeah. So I appreciate that. There's a little bit of it. Rose Byrne's character is guilty of a lot of that. Shaming.

Yeah, a lot of shaming. Exactly. A lot of, you know, there's a bit where, you know, in your classic spy movie trope where the main character, you know, gets all glammed up to go to a casino or whatever and she's in the fabulous dress and whatever and then Rose Byrne's like, you're dressed like garbage. You to go to a casino or whatever and she's in the fabulous dress and whatever and then roseburn's like you you dress like garbage you're a horrible garbage person or whatever yeah and i'm like that doesn't even it's not even it's just me

yeah she says that quite a few times as well yeah but yeah like i said i felt like it got better when my favorite bits is just like with like her and statham just standing there just hurling insults at each other. It's just that kind of stuff that I, that I enjoy the most. What'd you think of the, like, I'm trying to think of what specific action sequences,

the Jew law stuff's good. Yep. Should we go spoilers from now? I guess. Yeah. Why not? Sure. Did you worth watching?

Yeah. I wouldn't say go out. I think if you liked the heat and bridesmaids, I don't think it's as good as either of those. Yeah. If you like the heat The Heat, definitely see this. But you can wait for DVD. I've only seen The Heat and Bridesmaids once. And maybe when it got to this one, I'm like,

I've seen a lot of this. So maybe that's why I didn't enjoy it as much. Yeah, you could definitely wait. Yeah, Melissa McCarthy's great. Statham is great. If you want to see them hurling insults at each other and Statham going completely off his rocker, see this. Yeah.

He's got pretty good comedic timing, actually. Yeah, I think so. I never really realised that about him. Yeah. All right. Spoilers. Should we do our famous segment, Here's a Bit That I Liked? Oh, yeah, sure.

Yep. Jude Law's action stuff does a bit that I liked. What's a bit that you liked? Let me think. Did you like the bit where they were handing her her spy stuff? Oh, sure. That was a pretty good bit. I love, no matter what the movie, even the bad Bond movies,

when they go through and they collect all the spy gear. And you see all the crazy stuff in the background. Oh, classic, yep. And whatever, yeah. And the cue in the film in this one's like, you get a, you know, here's your poison, your anti-poison pills that are hidden in a vial of stool softener or whatever, which is like...

Really? Couldn't you make them seasickness pills or whatever? And he's like, I could, but I'd have to turn the printer on again and I don't want to. Yeah, that was quite good. You know what? The fight in the kitchen was pretty good. Very solid, yeah.

Solid, yeah. I mean, I'm sure Melissa McCarthy is obviously not an action star, but she's got, you know, she's very physical kind of comedy. So she kind of, she does that well. I was really surprised by that. What I was disappointed in that part was that the entire fight took place around a big vat of a boiling liquid of some sort. I was really surprised by that. What I was disappointed in that part was that the entire fight took place around a big vat of a boiling liquid of some sort. I didn't even notice that.

And nobody gets hit in the face with it. Yeah. I mean, obviously, Melissa McCarthy wouldn't get hit in the face with it. And the other one was like a pretty girl. Yeah, yeah. So you couldn't do that really, could you? But then that guy was acid-throated. Oh, boy, was he.

Yeah, yeah. And then, you know, you could totally have killed that other cat that character yeah she's not coming back no you're right but maybe no one wants to see like a beautiful woman horrifically burned oh yeah sure just saying yeah i guess so i know i liked how i liked having the idea of spies having someone in their ear and being like there's four guys coming around the corner and whatever which explains a lot of these movies, in particular Bond movies, how he knows exactly what's happening. It's like he's got a map of the area in his head where everybody is.

And that kind of explains that kind of spy trope. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, which I enjoyed. Very good. Some of the best? Yes. Is there any car stuff? Is there a bit of car stuff?

There's a bit of car stuff. There's a bit of car stuff. Solid car stuff. Solid car stuff, sure. Yeah sure yeah the score and we've talked about this before the only time i notice the score is when it annoys me yeah otherwise i don't the best i can say the best praise i can give to a movie score is i didn't notice it was there it was definitely here in this it wasn't that bad but it's like yeah it's clearly reminiscent of bond themes and stuff like that like that's a deliberate choice absolutely and it was there yeah definitely's clearly reminiscent of bond themes and stuff like that like that's a deliberate choice

absolutely and it was there yeah definitely uh-huh uh i don't really i don't know what else do you want to say about this it's it's solid it is solid yeah uh if yeah go

and see it i guess best movie ever for you yeah best movie ever yeah anything else or i'm sure i'll think when we talk about entourage jump back I'll probably jump back. Is it better than entourage?

Yeah. I just got a quick letter here from Liam Kay. Oh, yes. Nick and James. Hey! I just saw Spies starring Jude Law and Jason Statham, both are CIA agents. I thought it was interesting that while Statham was mentioned to be from England, and that was that,

old Judy made us sit through what it felt like an entire movie listening to his appalling American accent. Oh, wait, he did. Thoughts. Yeah, so we touched on that. Thanks, Liam. Not good. Yeah, no, not good.

Sky Captain's not good either. There's a reason it didn't get a sequel. It wasn't good. Look, it was an interesting experiment in CGI over everything. Yeah. I feel like a lot of that movie's to blame for the Star Wars prequels. I get the sense that in the future, Tomorrowland and Sky Captain

are going to be packaged together in a DVD box set. Because they were weird rockets in CGI. Just throw them together. Yeah. Eight bucks in the DVD bin. You're probably right. Yeah.

Yeah, I don't know. It's fine. Moving on? Real good, yeah. I feel like it's weird I don't have anything else to say about it. Yeah. Give us a little editing time.

Give us a second to think. Maybe there's something else. I don't think there's anything else. No, no, no. 50 Cent was in it. He was. And he was fine. He was fine.

Yep. Yeah. Yeah. All right, cool. All right, entourage. Entourage. Entourage. Do you like people driving around in cars?

Do you like people getting information on a phone? Do you like people making and receiving phone calls? Do you like people making a movie? Do you like people in offices? Okay. Do you like a guy who's a real charisma vacuum, but everybody thinks he's incredibly talented and charismatic and everybody loves him?

Can I propose something for this? Yes. Straight spoilers. Okay, sure. Because I'm not dancing around this. It's just Entourage. Have you seen Entourage? I've seen Entourage.

Can I just ask you before we do this, how much Entourage have you seen? I've seen one episode of Entourage. Was this like the same thing? Yeah. Specifically for those who don't know, the one episode of Entourage I watched, basically Vince has done the movie. Vinny Chase, the main character, has done the movie.

The movie is being released. And so Vinny and his entourage are driving around LA to all the movie theatres. Aquaman, by the way. Is it? Aquaman, great. Henceforth referred to as the movie theaters it's a cool man by the way is it exactly great uh henceforth referred to as the movie he did the movie and they're all driving around la to various theaters because they want to hear people loudly exclaiming that they love vinnie chase and they love the movie so they do that for a while and it's great and then they get stuck in because they got the one card like the convertible whatever yeah then they get stuck in because they got the one car like the

convertible whatever yeah and they get stuck in gridlock and they get sad because this incredibly self-indulgent ego trip might come to an end but what they do is they they get out of the car and they go to the curb and there's like a motorbike shop and there's the guy the guy who owns the motorbike shop is like vinnie chase i love you and i love your movie have some motorbikes and they all get a motorbike so they can beat the traffic and they drive around. Then they meet a kid and the kid's like, I love you Vinnie Chase and I love your movie.

And he's like, what are you up to, kid? And he's like, I have a party but I'm going to a party or something. I'm a nerd or whatever. I'm a party but I don't have any friends. Nobody thinks I'm cool. And they're like, well, we'll go to a party with you. And they go to a party and all the kids are like, that kid's friends with Vinny Chase.

We love Vinny Chase and we love the movie. So he's cool now. He's been anointed by our Lord and Savior, Vinny Chase. And apparently that's every episode of Entourage, right? That is every episode. They just go around LA. Being dickheads. Being dickheads.

And everybody loves them. Correct. And everybody gives them stuff. Yep. Yeah. That happens in this, doesn't it? Sure them. Correct. And everybody gives them stuff. Yep. Yeah. That happens in this, doesn't it? Sure does. Okay.

Look, should we talk? So, like I said, spoilers. Let's talk story. All right. So, it opens with Vince is recently divorced. Vincent Chase. Give him his full name. Is recently divorced.

Was he married by the end of the- He married in the last episode. Okay, right. Of the last series. Was that married by the end of the entourage? He married in the last episode. Okay, right. The last series. Was that character in this movie? That was Alice Eve. Oh, okay, sure. So no.

She was not in that. I'd remember if she was in that. Yeah, so she... Was she a recurring character in that show? She was in like the last four episodes. By the way, I should preface this by saying I've seen every episode of Entourage. Great.

I'm not happy. You seem happy. But I've seen it. So basically he's divorced and decides his next project he's going to make is he has to write and direct it. And Ari Gold, who's now a studio head, gives him $100 million and he gets to make the movie. So he quit being an agent. Yes.

And then he was retired for five minutes. Yeah. And then somehow he got a job as a head of a studio. Yes. Yeah. And then somehow he got a job as a head of a studio. Yes. Great. Sorry, I forget. He's in the Entourage universe where people just give you things. You forgot that for a second, didn't you?

Sorry, yeah. So basically it's about this movie. Is it any good? Can they get it out on time? Will they stop Hayley Joel Osment from editing it? They really had to struggle to get any kind of drama into this. And I don't mean Johnny drama. He's in this a lot.

But to get any kind of narrative weight to this, they really had to scrape the bottle under the barrel to get this. I feel like the first light of this movie sets the tone. And I took out my phone and I wrote it down. Oh, yes. Because I'm like, I'm going to have to remember that. They're approaching Johnny Drama. Everybody but Vince is approaching a yacht full of girls

and topless girls and girls with bikinis on. And he goes, I may have to jerk it before we get there. That's the first line in the movie. Great stuff. Yeah, that does set a tone, doesn't it? Yeah. So let's talk cast okay sure

one by one yep Vinny Chase who? Adrien Grenier what? who's that? the guy with the big head

and the oh that background character yeah that does nothing okay great yeah I remember him how did you find him? he's tall isn't he? he's tall

he's tall and spindly. There's a scene where they're all walking down the street and he's clearly the tallest. Okay, sure. I think sometimes they're all wearing elevator shoes and sometimes they're not. There's definitely a scene where he's walking and he's definitely the tallest, but he's the spindliest.

I think he's got the biggest head. That's probably it, actually. He's got the biggest head. Yeah. So he's nothing. He's in it. He doesn't really do anything he doesn't have any range he's completely unlikable he's he's the character he's like standing next to a black hole

he's the character in the devil wears prada where he's the boyfriend who's dumped for a magazine if you recall yeah so that's for a second i thought you recall. I do. Yeah, so that's... For a second I thought you meant he's like that character. No, he is. But he is actually that character. He is actually that character, yeah. So he's not good, is he? No.

I mean, you get who you get in this because it's the show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What about Turtle? He's thin now. Yep, sure. Did he have that tequila company at the end of? Yes. Okay.

Right. Do you want me to explain why turtles are billionaire for no reason? Well, he invested in a tequila company. That's not exactly what happens. Okay. Sure. Okay. I'm ready.

So basically in this movie. How much of this movie is callbacks to episodes that I haven't seen? A little bit. Okay. Not a lot. I could probably do an Easter egg video on it. Love it. I won't.

Unless people demand it no never but basically turtle invests turtles nothing in the show for it's just a stoner and he drives yep vince around they kind of touch on that at the start because they they do a little recap at the start don't they they do a pierce morgan kind of expose on yeah all the characters anyway he's he tries a lot of kind of schemes he has like a limo company and whatever it's like a sexy limousine company oh yeah it goes bust and whatever anyway he invests in this tequila company and for whatever reason he decides to sell his shares and get out he also makes vince invest in it right he sells his shares and then the company goes public or he sells his stock in a whatever it is he has a he has a piece of it whatever it is and then the company goes public and it's worth like hundreds of millions of dollars like

immediately and he's like oh no i broke i sold all my shares i'm an idiot and then vince is like don't worry turtle not only did i not sell my shares i bought your shares so you're a billionaire whatever great no but technically vince is a No, he just gives it all to him. Oh, sure, because Vince is already a billionaire? I guess. Yeah, okay. Or a millionaire. I don't know.

So that's why- Oh, everything worked out for him. So that's really good and convenient. So that's why Turtle has- I don't think he's a billionaire. He'd have hundreds of millions of dollars. Surely what Vinnie could have done if he owned all that and had the hundreds of millions of dollars,

couldn't he have just evenly distributed it among all of his friends? Yeah, he could have. Surely Turtle and Drama and E could have all had millions of dollars. Absolutely they could. Right. So he secretly hates his brother. No, but he loves him so much because they're family. They're all bloody family.

That's a good point. Okay. All right. Back to the dumb movie. Here we go. So he all bloody family. That's a good point. Okay. All right. All right. Back to the dumb movie. Here we go. So he's rich. He's rich for no reason. Drama.

What do you think? I think he's not only, he plays a bad actor well, but he's also a bad actor. He is such a, he's such a caricature. Yeah. Yeah. He sees some people's favorite character. Yeah, because he's the funniest. In what sense? I didn't say. Yeah, because he's the funniest. In what sense?

I didn't say it. No, explain it to me. Explain it to us and the listeners why he is the funniest character. Because he's like down-foddered. Because he's the loudest. Yeah, he's got the dumbest facial hair. Yeah, that's probably true. I guess because he's the one who does the dumbest shit, I guess.

Yeah, against all logic and reason. He's the most insecure. He's the most intolerable. I guess those are the reasons he's the funniest. Yeah, against all logic and reason. He's the most insecure. He's the most intolerable. I guess those are the reasons he's the funniest. Yeah, yeah. Weirdest shaped head. Weirdest shaped head. Not the biggest.

No, no, no. E is like a little man. He's saved only from being the dullest man in the show because Vinny is on the show. Correct. And the movie. Yep. There's also Ari. High point of the movie. Yep. There's also Ari.

High point of the movie. Look, he is. And look, he's not a nice person. I don't like him. Right. But at least he's doing something. Right. Do you know what I mean?

Is he in the show like profoundly homophobic? Like homophobic? Yes. Because I got the sense that, but they must have really toned it down for this. Oh, that was toned down. Yeah, I guess so. Because there's a bit where he looks at his phone and it says, Lloyd's calling it.

It says, Gajan Lloyd. Anyway, I want to talk about that more later. And of course, we've got Hayley Joel Osment, who's... Okay, here's the thing about Hayley Joel Osment. Yes. Good work. Yeah. But it's interesting they had to create this character who's incredibly repulsive

in order to make the rest of the cast seem likeable. Exactly. And even then I was kind of like, he's got some good points. Like I even found that even though he's a monster, I was kind of like, yeah, but he's making a lot of sense. Because, you know, look who he's up against. He's actually a good actor.

I think he should do more stuff. I wouldn't say high points, not the word. But he's better. He's better than the entourage movie. Exactly. And of course... I was surprised he wasn't playing Hayley Joel Osment. Oh, okay.

Given all the celebrity cameos and stuff. Did you care for any of that? Look, I couldn't... I liked the Fabbro bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, okay. Given all the celebrity cameos and stuff. Everybody else plays himself. Did you care for any of that? Look, I couldn't. I liked the Favreau bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was good. A lot of the-

God, he fluctuates, doesn't he, Favreau? Yeah, he was huge in this. He's up and down, that guy, man. Jeez, yeah. I often couldn't tell

who was playing, an actor playing a character or an actor playing themselves. Okay. There's a scene in- You have to be super famous to play yourself.

To play yourself. Yeah. Because there was a character in... He and his ex go to like a hospital for some sort of birthing thing and a guy shows up with his partner and they're like,

don't have you... No, no, no. Not the birthing class. They're actually in a hospital. Okay. And there's... It's a black guy and his wife. Yeah. Oh, that's T.I.

I think that's actually supposed to be T.I. Okay, right. Okay. Yeah. Oh, you did say T.I. You may have. Yeah, okay. Maybe you didn't.

All right. So he's famous enough to be himself. Apparently, yeah. Okay, great. Good. Also, there's women in this. I've got them in three categories. Yep.

Hot. Sure. Crazy sure crazy yep or nagging right okay and sometimes and you're not saying you're not saying women come in those three categories you're saying no the movie has placed that's exactly what i'm saying the movie is saying that women only come in three categories and they are hot crazy and nagging and there's some overlap sometimes okay right so there's so it's a Venn diagram of women. Is there an exception? And normal three-dimensional women with actual real personalities

don't exist in this universe. Exactly. Ari's wife in the show... Or in the show, do those women exist and they just appear and the characters are like, oh, I love you or whatever

and they're like, but I have to go back to my home planet. Is there a bit of that? I figure there might be a bit of that. Because if you find a woman who is, you know, interesting and intelligent and beautiful and blah, blah, blah, you just marry him or whatever. Yeah.

So, you know, you'd be like, okay, that's someone. And that's what happens to Vinny Chase. Right, right. See, exactly. Which I want to talk about. So that character went back to her home planet. Exactly. And that's what happens to Vinny Chase at the end. See, exactly. Which I want to talk about. So that character went back to her home planet. That's exactly what I'm saying, right? But you can't have a normal woman in this show

because then there's no drama. I mean, there's plenty of Johnny drama, let me tell you. But you can't do that. So you have to turf out all the regular women and just have this character. And that happened in this because Ari's wife breaks up with him in the last season because he's never available and he's clearly got anger management issues. Right. And she leaves him.

Yep. And then, for good reason, and then she takes him back at the end. But in this, he's just kind of like, she's nagging and she doesn't understand and she's making him do therapy and whatever. Like, she's probably the closest to an actual character, I guess. Yep. Okay. But even then, she's still nagging. Yes. know what i mean yeah okay okay look i've got i've got a do you want to play a game okay yep it's called let's go through each character and talk about their story arc okay sure yeah let's do that okay so there were a lot of sort of story

arcs weren't there there were and a lot of them were resolved really early on yeah and a lot of them were dragged down yes exactly like nothing happened for 30 minutes yeah and then it just another thing yeah yeah so so vince right it starts with he just got divorced yep and he's seemingly not bothered by it yep and i thought maybe maybe he will be bothered by it maybe he's got some depth maybe the movie maybe he won't be able to do the movie because he's so distraught about this divorce or maybe he looks at himself and goes maybe there's a reason that this woman who and she was portrayed as being intelligent she didn't like him initially because she's like you've got no substance and you're an idiot and you're shallow uh-huh but then so how did he trick her i don't remember right but they end up getting married like two

days later okay and then so i thought that maybe he'd be like, maybe there's something wrong with me. Yeah, maybe I could improve as a person. Yeah, but. And then all our audience, all our viewers could also improve as people. Because as we know, enjoying entourage is about identifying with assholes because you yourself are an asshole.

Is that right? I guess so. You pick a character and you're like. I'm Johnny Drama. Yeah. Which one are you? I guess so. You pick a character and you're like... I'm Johnny Drama. Yeah. Which one are you? I guess I'm E. I guess that's the best of a bad lot.

Yeah. Yeah. You just have to pick a negative. You have to pick a negative attribute of yourself and say, which one am I? And I'm like, well, I guess I'm boring. Oh, Jesus. All right, so Vinny Chase. Vinny Chase. So his dilemma is he wants to make something of substance

and do something of worth. So he gets given $100 million. Yep. And with that, he makes the best movie ever made somehow. Which we never see. Which we never see. And the clips that we do see. And I know it's a movie in a movie.

It's Blade 1. It's essentially Blade 1. So there's a scene, the clip that we see, he's the... Which is in the trailer. Which is in the trailer. Which is in the trailer. And this is spoilers. Spoilers. He's an underground revolutionary DJ.

Yep. But he's also an updated version of Hyde, Mr. Hyde. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he shoots drugs into a crowd. And they become revolutionaries. They become sort of super powered revolutionaries. And this is an Oscar winning,, a Golden Globe-winning film.

Yeah. It's award-winning. Exactly. The drama of it is. Johnny drama. There's plenty of that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is this movie any good?

Yeah. But then Ares watches it 30 minutes in and goes, it's the greatest movie of all time. Right, yeah. And then so that's resolved. So it doesn't hang over your head the whole time that, oh, maybe he's made a terrible movie. Yeah, yeah.

Because it's immediately like, no, it's good. Yeah, everybody who sees it is like, this is good. Yeah. Unless they have some sort of ulterior motive to not like it. But it's weird when you do, like, anytime there's a movie about a movie or a TV show about a TV show or like a sitcom about somebody who does stand-up comedy yeah it's really difficult to have them produce that tv show

that movie or that whatever and actually show it and have it be good yeah and usually because that would just be a movie yeah yeah like if i mean there's ways around it like louis does his own stand-up yeah which is good and if you like lou Louis' stand-up, you would like Louis' TV show. With 30 Rock, it was always implied that the show they're making is really terrible. Yeah. But people watch it anyway or don't watch it. I don't know. Yeah.

And yeah, this is... Like, funny people is just Seth Rogen sort of being a comedian. Right, right, right. And he's not... Like, I find him funny, but he's not a comedian. Yeah, yeah, right. And he's not, like I find him funny, but he's not a comedian. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's, yeah, it's a bit. And with a movie, and so in this, rather than show us,

rather than have him create a movie that isn't very good and we see it and it's not very good, it's just implied it's the best movie of all time and we have to go on faith that it is. But I guess based on, given it's the Entourage universe, I mentioned The Secret earlier. I'm pretty sure the entourage universe is actually like it's a universe in which the secret works okay if you just put out positive energy into the world like enough of it you make things happen so if you want explains why drama's like not because he's got a lot of negativity

that's why he's not famous exactly but if you want a great movie you just have to believe you can make one and then you do see because he's such a a nothing character i don't believe for a second that he could produce anything of substance correct yeah so and you're right it's a big stretch to take it on faith that he's made anything of notes it's an award-winning sci-fi movie. Yeah. What? They said it made $450 million, and I'm assuming that's in, and it's counting. Right, right.

I'm assuming that's in the US. No, they said worldwide. Did they? Yeah. Well, that's not that good. Not that great, is it? Yeah. And it cost $100 million plus to make.

Yeah, let's say $120 million conservatively, plus marketing. It's usually the same to market, so $240 million made $400,000. Also, they said also it came out and it's still out when they go to the Golden Globes. So that movie was nominated for a Golden Globe and then like four weeks later, like it came out and then four weeks later the Golden Globes were out and then it won awards at the Golden Globes. So it didn't even have time to like finish at the box office. The secret, you wanted to win some

awards it's gonna win some awards so anyway that's the art that's vinny chaser's arc what does he learn um what he learns is make a movie and then sit back and it'll win awards and it'll get released exactly how you want it to correct and everybody will love it and you'll still be famous i guess what he's learned is make a movie then don't do anything exactly yeah don't do anything up until a point you're allowed to make a movie and then just make the movie and then don't do anything yep correct okay story out complete all right done a okay uh pregnant ex-girlfriend yep who by the way they ended up at the together at the end of last the last episode sure after he slept with her step her stepmother and got her pregnant right

by the way this is set like eight months later but that was in 2010 so i don't know there's a weird time jump i don't know it doesn't make sense wow it's the entourage universe if you want it to be the year 2015 so there's a deleted scene where there's there there's a time jump yeah wow i guess so um so basically he wants to get her back again even though he just got her back at the end of the last episode but then they broke up again presumably yeah but the way he goes to do that is to tell her that he slept with two women the day before yeah but his quality because he's so honest that's a good quality yep and then after he tells her that she goes well i guess i will we can consider it and then because i have no self-worth right exactly and then it he sleeps with two women at this on the same day and it turns out

they know each other so they build an elaborate plot where one claims to be pregnant one claims to have some sort of yeah sti yeah But then they just made it up. And that's like 30 minutes into the movie. Yeah. And his arc is done. So his arc is... What did he learn? Let's see, what did he learn? He learned just keep sleeping with women

and be honest about it because nothing bad will happen. Correct. Because you're in the entourage universe. That's right. Yeah. And also... Potentially you could get an STI or a woman pregnant, but don't worry about it because you didn't.

Also, he's such a fucking idiot that he goes and sees that blonde girl the next day. She goes, I'm pregnant. They just slept together the day before. Oh, had he not been seeing her for a while? Oh, maybe he had. I think he'd been seeing her for a while. Okay, you're right.

Still a fucking idiot. Oh, had he not been seeing her for a while? Oh, maybe he had. Yeah, you're right. I think he'd been seeing her for a while. Okay, you're right. Yeah, yeah. Still a fucking idiot. Also, at the end, his girlfriend just gives birth. They get back together and he goes off with the entourage crew. He like leaves her at the hospital. Well, they had stuff to do. They had to release a movie, probably. I guess so.

All right, done. Drama. He wants to win a Golden Globe. Yep. Or some right, done. Drama. He wants to win a Golden Globe. Yep. Or some kind of recognition. Yep. His chin. What is going on there? I don't understand that.

Yeah. Does he do it? Like, is it a choreography trick? It's even like below the mouth. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, like, he says he's 40. There's no way that dude is 40. Dude's like at least 50.

Anyway, he has sex with someone's wife. Yep. And then, as revenge, that tape gets leaked. A tape. A tape of him, sorry. A solo sex tape. Yes. And then he's shamed.

Yep. By the internet and TMZ. Uh-huh. And then he finds out that he's having a baby and he's fine. Yep, and he's fine. And then that segues into this touching moment. It tries to... Yeah, and then it turns out that he's such a good actor that he... It turns out that...

So who wrote the movie? Not Entourage, the movie. Doug Ellis? No, I mean Hyde, the movie in the movie not entourage the movie alice no i mean hide the movie in the movie i don't know did vinnie chase right i assume so because i guess what happened is either vinnie chase wrote the movie or he found a script yeah that contained four scenes in it which he knew in his heart would prove to the world that his brother, Johnny Drama, was an incredible actor. Yeah. Not that any of the others, like he's been in a lot of other things, apparently.

He's been in bit parts in so many things. Yeah, like Laura Dornan. None of which proved that he was a good actor. But Vinny found this movie that proved that he was. Yeah. And then as a result, these four scenes got him an award yes four weeks after the movie came out four weeks after the movie came out yeah and the thing about that guy is i don't want him to succeed because he's awful like he's an awful person and he's an

awful actor that guy doesn't deserve anything he's a monster like he's very like he i mean he had to jerk it before he got to the boat you know obviously do you know what i mean like why do i want him to succeed yeah i don't want most of them to succeed if i'm honest with you i think he's the one i hate the most oh okay wow yeah anyway he's a dickhead yeah um no go ahead what does he learned that he is a great actor that he is a great actor but can he do that again like his brother is gonna his brother is gonna have to find him another script that perfectly suits his acting abilities because clearly nobody else can see his acting abilities except for his brother yeah right yeah so what agent is gonna have any luck finding him any more work lloy is his agent, by the way.

Gajan Lloyd. Gajan Lloyd, yes. Right, okay, sure, sure, sure. Okay, so he doesn't know anything, he's a dickhead. Correct. Turtle, he wants to bang Ronda Rousey. Yep. He's already a billionaire, so that's sorted. She misinterprets his advances and flies off the handle for no reason.

Yes, she does. So she's like, I thought this was a date. This is a business meeting. Get out, turtle. I won't hear any of your explanations. There could be somebody, Jimmy Pardo. What is she doing? Jimmy Pardo is a stand-up comedian.

He has a very good podcast called Never Not Funny, which is very funny, as the name suggests. Good. But he pointed out that a lot of sitcoms and a lot of movies like this could be solved with a post-it note. Like a lot of plot lines in movies. You could just go to a house or a car or something like that, or a fridge.

I don't know how you'd get into a house. But just write, hey, Rhonda, I wanted this to be a date but I got a little bit confused because of Johnny Drama, some Johnny Drama drama. Do you still want to go on a date? You stick the post-it note to something she's going to see and she reads it and goes, oh, yeah, that makes a lot of sense. That makes a lot of sense, yeah.

But everything in this movie could have been solved with a post-it note, every little situation, you know? Ridiculous. Hey, you know what? I want to get back with you, but sometimes I slept with a woman because she was nice and it was a fun time. Exactly. It was great.

Sorry, but I would like to get back together, post-it note, on a car or at a Lamar's car or whatever. If she just listened to one of his calls. Yeah, everything would have been fine. That would have been fine. Yeah. I mean, she beat him up and that was good. But he didn't get that hurt.

She didn't even break his arm. Correct. And she's known for that. I know. She's well known for that. And he was like, yeah, no broken arm. Like, because you wanted it so badly that you didn't get a broken arm, I guess. Yeah.

Anyway, Ari. I would be very worried on set. In what way? Because her reflex would be to break or whatever. And now, like, because you know when actors learn like Hollywood kung fu and they learn that, you know, every punch they throw, they stop like an inch or like a foot or whatever, depending on the camera angle, before they hit somebody.

You get an actual person who is actually good at fighting, who's like when you punch you punch through someone yeah that's how you punch exactly yeah you get her on set you have to be like okay now you've got some killer instincts train him back in you'll be fine all right here we go i wanted him to get hurt oh yeah absolutely yeah yeah maybe he got hurt in real life let's hope so he's fine i don't know yeah maybe these guys are nice guys in real life, but I can't separate them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so Turtle doesn't learn anything.

Correct. No, he does learn. What? He learns to not listen to Johnny Drama. I guess that's pretty... That's a good lesson, actually. The lesson is don't listen to your dumb friends, especially when they're real dumb and unlikable

and everything they do is wrong. Hey, you know you've got a friend that never does anything right and he's real dumb and unsuccessful? Don't listen to him. Ever. That's the lesson. So the lesson is use incredibly basic common sense. And I found it so unbelievable that she's like,

I just wanted to date a normal guy like you, Turtle. You've broken my heart. Yeah, a normal multimillionaire who follows me around, who sees me on the street and follows me in his car. All right, Ari. So he runs around being racist and sexist and he gets fired. Was he that bad in this? He's not as bad as he's been.

Right, yeah. Like I said, but I guess it's weird. I can forgive this character because he's entertaining and he's not he's not as bad as he's been right yeah that's like i said but i guess it's weird i can forgive this character because he's entertaining yeah and he's written in such a way that that's what he's like so i don't agree with the shit that he says but at least he's interesting to watch right right yeah i see i've i went in expecting this character to be a lot worse than he was okay yeah but there was like i expected him to be like Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino. Okay. Like, level of racism or whatever.

He does. Let's say he's more in the show. Yes, exactly, yeah. But I'm like, you know, he loves his kids or whatever. Yeah, exactly. He loves his wife and he does what his wife tells him to do. That's right. And whatever, and, you know.

He is the most fleshed out character. And people have said, if they're going to make another Entourage movie, just make an Ari Gold movie. Yeah. I mean, don't. If you had to. Yeah, if they're going to make another Entourage movie, just make an Ari Gold movie. Yeah. I mean, don't. What if you had to? Yeah, if you had to. Yeah, I mean, and even at the end where, like, there's a bit where he walks into the boardroom,

but one of the first things he says is, I slept with that woman. That's right, yeah. Like, straight away he comes in. Yeah, yeah, okay. Oh, Jesus. So, I guess he does learn, he actually is the only one who puts his neck on the line and gets slapped for it. That's true, yeah. He's the only one who has any consequence, sort of.

I mean, he'll be fine. Yeah, he's already rich, one assumes. Yeah, and he invested... Like, he foregoed $30 million to... There's that scene in the movie where... And this... Again, we're talking about how there's no drama in this movie except for johnny drama who's definitely in this movie but there's the point where they're like oh we can't

this guy's not getting helly joel osmond he's not going to give us the money and like everybody in the room's like i'll just give you exactly i've got eight million i'll give you eight million exactly you need i'll just give it to you it It's fine. Everybody in that movie is rich. Who cares? I know. Except for Johnny Drama. Except for Johnny Drama. Yeah. Like Turtle. That's... God damn it.

You're right. Yeah. Hayley Joel Osment, his arc is... He's... Vince slept with a girl... He's a cartoonish creep. Yeah. Vince slept with a girl that he likes,

so he wants to sabotage the movie. Yeah. And he nearly does. And that's what he does. Yeah. And he nearly does. And that's what he does. Yeah. And that's such a cartoonish premise for a thing. Yeah. Like you don't believe for a second that he could be a real man.

No. Well, I mean, probably because there's a lot of weirdos out there. I guess so. Yeah, sure. Who's like, oh, I like this girl. Oh, do you like me? No? Oh, okay. Well, that's life, I guess, like this girl. Oh, do you like me? No? Oh, okay.

Well, that's life, I guess, sometimes. Move on. I guess I'll have to impress another girl with my billions of dollars. I guess. Instead of doing bits that we liked, why don't we do bits that we hated? Okay, cool. You got anything in mind? I probably should have talked to this before.

You just saw this, didn't you? Yeah, I literally just saw this. Look. Oh, just walked out of it. I literally just saw this. Look. Oh, I walked out of it. That's not the whole thing. I did a lot of this. And people can't see this, but just... The exhausted rubbing of the face.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I don't know. I think we've sort of illustrated everything we hated. Okay, fair. Give me one that you hated. Sure. I got here.

I hated everyone in this and I didn't want them to succeed. Ari says at one point that this movie is going to be bigger than the titanic and he says oh great a titanic reference yep fucking cut that out like we get it yeah um i i didn't like all the celebrity cameos that i didn't recognize uh with the exception of uh at one point ari's he, he's not wearing a suit. He's got a polo shirt on and he walks into like some restaurant or something like that and he's walking in and a guy goes, hey, you're not wearing a suit today. And he's like, yeah, not today.

That's Domenico Vacca. That's the guy who made all of his suits in the movie. Oh, okay. Reference that only I like. Only this guy gets that. Okay. I liked the bit where Ari punched the photo of the cat. Oh, yeah, that was fun, yeah.

And I liked when he delivered E, the tiny motorcycle. Yep, okay, cool. By the way, he just gave them like a $100 million car. Sure. Wasn't the budget of the movie like... It was $100 million. They could have given them that money as well. They could have sold that car.

That's not a million dollar car. Bullshit. That movie is... That car is at least... I'm going to $100 million. What do you reckon that car's worth? No cars are $100 million. Sorry, you're an idiot.

I am. That's at least a $2 million car? No, surely not. No, I don't know anything about cars. You're right, there's no such thing as a $100 million car, is there? Most expect... There is... You can get, like, maybe like maybe like the Bugatti.

Alan Alda's car. Alan Alda's car. No, wait. It's made of gold. Yes, exactly. In that bloody tower heist. Exactly. The Bugatti Veyron's like $2 million, like the top end one.

Lamborghini's like $800,000. So yeah, I guess they could have all sold their Lamborghinis, I guess. Yeah, that's a good point i look like an idiot don't i okay i've also got kelsey grammar cameo liked that yeah he's good he's angry he'd be a great beast again yeah um vince looks vince vince's movie looks terrible and he's the worst i don't believe for a second about that phrase you're going to bloody counseling ah very good what's he gonna do with those tossed salads and scrambled eggs oh my yeah i don't believe for a second that that movie would make any money Hey, hey. Very good. What's he going to do with those tossed salads and scrambled eggs? Oh, my.

Yeah, and I don't believe for a second that that movie would make any money. No. And I think they just made, because they wanted a recognisable kind of name, like premise for the movie. So I'm assuming Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is out of copyright, so they can just use it. Probably, yeah. I'm assuming that's why they did it. Yeah, yeah.

Also, I thought it was weird that Ari made Lloyd have a Jewish wedding. His house, his rules. Yeah, but did they both convert? Probably not. I mean, George Takei, I don't think is Jewish. That's a good point. People laugh as well in the cinema where George... Like, is that a joke?

That George Takei was there? Yeah. No, it's a celebrity cameo. Yeah, I know, but why are people laughing at that? He's funny on the internet. People have thought about all the funny things he shared on facebook i don't think that's what that is really yeah all right anyway i don't know they're thinking about all the times he's been parody on a family guy oh yeah that's probably it yeah also and look this doesn't this isn't exclusively exclusively this. This is any movie. This was in San Andreas last week.

It is. Whenever you see a Photoshop of somebody younger, it is always, in a movie, it is always the worst Photoshop you've ever seen. They get the intern to do it. Exactly. It never looks convincing. Am I wrong? And there's a bit where he's spinning pizza and he's a kid.

Yeah, that was terrible. Talking about Spy, every time she gets a fake identity, the photo that she's been given is super terribly Photoshopped. I guess maybe that was deliberate. I guess that's the point, yeah. God, this worst movie ever. It's horrible. What did you think of it?

I'm glad I saw it. Yeah, me too. But I don't think anybody else should see it. Because I'd always be wondering, like, I wonder if it's as bad as I think. Yeah, me too. But I don't think anybody else should see it. Like, because I'd always be wondering, like, I wonder if it's as bad as I think. Yeah, it is. Yeah. This is on par with Sex and the City 2.

Have you seen that? I haven't seen it. That is... A lot of people will say... And I said this having not really seen Entourage. I'm like, oh, Entourage is just Sex and the City for guys or whatever. But it's not really. Well...

The movies are yeah clearly it's it's kind of like the idea is i feel because i i did watch a lot of episodes of sex in the city yeah i thought sex in the city had some genuine insight i completely agree and entourage is just like hey we're doing a movie but the thing about entourage is and i think the reason why i stuck with it like and initially i think I stuck with it, like, and initially, I think I liked it initially, like the first couple of seasons, because it was almost like, oh, this is like an insight into Hollywood and the work itself. Right, okay, yeah.

But it's not that. It's just a pack of dickheads being dickheads. Correct. And everything working out. Yep. People who haven't earned anything. And no matter how many times you say that you're from Queens and you're from the streets and whatever.

Yeah. No, I don't believe any of that for a second. Yeah, yeah. You're all the worst. I hope they make another one. Yeah. So I can watch it

seven and a half again. Did you like the Mark Wahlberg cameo? No. Yeah, exactly. He's a dickhead. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's partially responsible for this.

Did you like his plug for his Wahlbergers TV series on the E! Network? Yeah, he did do that is that a real show i bet it is yeah probably yeah damn it i don't think this this movie is not clever enough to give him a fake tv series surely um what else oh yeah uh the golden globes are a sham they're not even aren't they right yeah they gave didn't they right? Yeah, they are. Didn't they give that Johnny Depp movie a...

Oh, they are the tourist best comedy or something? Yeah, something like that, yeah. It was nominated. I don't know if it won, but it was best comedy or musical or something.

It's just a bunch of rich European people who wanted to meet a whole bunch of celebrities and thus the Golden Globes were born. So getting a Golden Globe doesn't mean nothing.

No, it doesn't. God damn it. I also love how they're at the gold globes and they clearly filmed there and they're like look it's vinnie chase and ari gold and george cludy and e like yeah he got he got his time in the red cup so did turtle turtle was on the red carpet he doesn't do anything he's a dry he's still technically the driver he doesn't do anything in hollywood yeah man yeah great would you say that people should see this though because it's so bad no wait till it's free yeah don't pay for it don't

pay for it yeah exactly then again if you like this show and i've seen a lot of reviewers online say this if you like the show then they loved the movie this movie yeah so if you liked the show you'll probably like this yeah tough call isn't it i don't even know man yeah is this enough have we talked about this enough i think we've talked about it worst movie ever yeah worst movie it's probably the worst movie i've seen in about five years wow there you go yeah no it probably it made angrier. It's not even... Yeah. I don't know. I just didn't like it.

Yeah, that's okay, yeah. All right. Do you know what it's time for? What's it time for? What are we reading? What are we going to read? Theme song. I'm doing the theme.

What are we reading today? What are you reading? Well, now that I think about it, I'm probably going to re-watch Big Trouble in Little China. There's plenty of drama in that. I don't mean bloody. I don't mean Johnny drama. Okay, cool. What would you have said if I didn't bring that up earlier?

I was going to say Arkham Knight. I've been reading that and it's fine. Is it good or fine? It's fine. It's no injustice. I read the first two and I'm like, yeah, it's all right. Yeah, exactly. It's no injustice. I read the first two and I'm like, yeah, it's alright. Yeah, exactly. It's no injustice at all. As far as DC video game tie-ins go.

No, yeah. Okay, fair enough. Great. I'm reading Androids. No, sorry, Descender by Jeff Lemire. It's about like androids have been outlawed because there's been like an alien invasion and they're somehow linked to certain androids. So they get rid of them. And then there's this one companion robot left yeah on like the

moon or some other planet yeah and he's got something to do with it for whatever reason and people are looking for him it's kind of if i had to mash it up if i if i had to pitch this oh yeah i would say you don't have to because it's already a thing that exists. Correct. But I would say it's part AI, part Astro Boy. Ooh. So if any of those... Any Wall-E? Is Wall-E in there? It sounds a bit Wall-E.

A little bit, sure. Okay, yeah. But I love Jeff Lemire. He's one of my favourite writers. Also, I'm going to read issue one of Midnighter. What's that about? Which is... So...

Back in the day... Sure., back in the day. Sure. Not back in the day. Like a few years ago, there was the Wildstorm comic imprint. It was part of Image. Yeah. And they had Apollo and then Midnighter who were basically Superman and Batman if they were a couple.

Oh yeah. And that, that has, Wildstorm was purchased by DC. So now that's all part of the universe. And Midnighter has his new as a new series coming out to do with a new DC relaunch or whatever I think so yeah okay so do you know what happened at the end of Convergence no spoiler alert all the universes now exist again every universe or something huh I didn't read it's not really Convergence then is it no it's the opposite expansion yeah okay great um I think that car was worth a hundred million dollars now I think

about it yeah but not every car is worth a hundred million dollars you've bought cars how do you not know this i'm not a cars guy right clearly talking about clearly i hate people telling me about their bloody cars so anyway um dick grayson he's known solace here it's called grayson yeah well he's an agent i watched the i read the first one and i it was good and i didn't get go back to it but apparently midnight and made a lot of appearances in that okay they're sort of you, where he's an agent or something. I read the first one and it was good and I didn't go back to it, but apparently Midnighter made a lot of appearances in that. Okay. It's sort of, you know, because he's Batman, but he's not Batman and kind of, he's kind of this foil to Dick Grayson kind of thing.

And apparently that's pretty good. So I might go right back. I'll read that for the first time and then I'm going to read Midnighter. That was a great boss N Nass, you did then. Yeah. Oh, yes. Great. Well, that sounds good.

Now, for letters this week. Oh, yes. We've got like 10 or so entries for letters themes. Oh, yes. Great. That you definitely are not going to use. I'm not going to use them. I have to stick.

Look, I did enjoy them all. Are there any worth playing right now? Yeah, they're all good. Like, I can't show you. Ben, Sharath, another Ben, Manny. That's just to name a few. Yeah. I did enjoy them all are there any worth playing right now yeah they're all good like I can't show you Ben Sharath another Ben Manny

yeah exactly okay I'm gonna listen to those later so yeah thank you yeah but I just can't I just don't want it

to become a thing do you know what I mean oh sure yeah but I enjoyed them how about this at become a thing. Do you know what I mean? Oh, sure, yeah, yeah. But I enjoy them. How about this? At the end of the year, you just release all of the theme songs we get in just a block. I have to put them together? Yeah, just easy.

You do it. I can't pace. All right, I will. I won't. Fair enough. Yeah. Anyway, this is a letter from Chris. Okay, so we've done Dubstep and we've done Big Band Swing.

Yep. If anybody wants to send any letters themes next week. That I won't play. Yeah, could you send it? Reggae. Yeah, okay, reggae. Yep, yeah, yeah, reggae. Great.

Nice. In the style of... But not dub reggae because we just bloody had dubstep, all right? They're too close. Don't even bother. Just regular reggae. Mine. Reg, reg, regregay. Regregay.

Yeah, that works. This is from Chris. Now, this is a Weekly Planet exclusive potentially. Spoiler alert. Minor spoiler alert for Suicide Squad. If this turns out to be real, could be an elaborate trick. I'm blocking my ears.

Let's go. Can you hear me now? Yeah. Good. Yeah, I didn't really block my ears. This is from Chris My friend knows a guy Who's part of the stunt crew

Of Suicide Squad And he confirmed that Robin will be in the movie Ooh And they will show Sorry, they will likely show Jason Todd die Ooh

I don't know 100% about that last bit But Robin is definitely in it As far as I know As far as I know As of today This has not been leaked elsewhere So I'm calling it an exclusive For you guys.

Weekly Planet exclusive. We did it. Have any of our exclusives proved to be true? Or are we still waiting? Time will bear us out. Somebody remind us. As true heroes of Hollywood or something. I don't know.

Exactly. That sounds good. This is getting to be a really comic book-y universe. Absolutely it is. Not the Man of Steel, Dawn of Justice, blah, blah, blah. Yeah. That's not so much. But this Suicide Squad.

There's a lot going on. They're very much like, yeah, give the Joker a purple Lamborghini. It's a $100 million car. Yeah, put the death of Jason Todd in. They're building some history into this movie. Absolutely. It's very interesting. As they should.

Yeah. Good for them also congratulations on your recent jump in viewers keep up the good work and grab that gem we will so does that mean

there's going to be Tim Drake Robin in this I wonder that's a very good question or they might just have no Robin yeah maybe maybe this scene is just

well maybe he'll get a Robin like down the line yeah sure yeah because I don't know like he's between Robins he's between Robins he could be between Robins yeah

that would make more sense yeah uh hey weekly planet oh because it might be the scene where joker kills jason todd maybe that's exactly that's what we're talking about okay sweet as love it hey weekly planet guys i'm a teacher in the states and at the risk of my job i let my students watch some of your youtube videos and pieces of your podcast that is the risk of your job mate mate. When they get assignments finished. My kids love it. Yeah. And whenever we are reading and a character comes up,

they instantly are curious about how they would do on a football field versus other characters or any non-Daniel Craig, James Bond. One of my students, Hunter, would like to know if you would like to see Thanos in a standalone movie or see a lot more of him in Guardians 2. It feels like Thanos is way underdeveloped and wants to know more about his hover chair. So can you also be the official hover chair, hovercraft chair of the podcast? Keep up the good work. And if you want to give a shout out to Mr. K's 10th grade reading class,

go for it from Mr. K's and the 10th grade reading class. Shout out. All of those guys. Yeah, all of those guys. Is there anyone in that class you don't like? Mr. K and the 10th grade reading class. Shout out. All of them? All those guys. Yeah, all of those guys. Is there anyone in that class you don't like? Mr. K and the 10th grade reading class. They're good.

Yeah, love them all. They're great. Yes, I would like to see that. I would like to see a Thanos origin. Josh Brolin's a good actor. Yeah, absolutely. So, yeah. Would you even need to do an origin or just see what he's up to?

Maybe in between movies. Thanos, see what he's up to. Yeah. Thanos, let's see what he's up to. Subtitle. Thanos, see what he's up to. Thanos, let's see what he's up to. Subtitle. Thanos brackets. Yeah. I also like the idea that no matter who they bring up in,

like this is sort of permeating the school. Yeah. Like no matter who is brought up in a class, people want to know who will win in a fight on a football field. So it'll be like, so Thomas Edison was a great inventor, but he did steal a lot of his ideas from Nikola Tesla. Like who'd win in a fight? Tesla.

Yeah, Tesla. Actually. No, Tesla would have the rage in him. Yeah, but. I reckon Edison carries the gun, though. I don't think Edison gives a shit. Like, he's just like, I'm stealing stuff. I don't even care.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like he's got nothing to lose, mate. Oh, yeah, okay. He's a man on the edge. I want to be Tesla in a fist fight. You're probably right. Especially if he was David Bowie Tesla. He's crafty.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know about a solo movie, but yeah, I didn't think the reveal of Thanos in Tesla in a fist fight. You're probably right. Especially if he was David Bowie Tesla. He's crafty. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know about a solo movie, but yeah, I didn't think the reveal of Thanos in Guardians of the Galaxy was particularly spectacular. Not at all. It was just kind of there. It was very matter of fact, wasn't it?

They just kind of cut to him. He's like, hello. Yeah, absolutely. It was weird. I'm here in my chair. Yeah. A lot of space around, isn't there? Yeah.

How can we breathe? We're space guys. You're probably right. Thank you, 10th grade class and Mr. Yeah. A lot of space around, isn't there? Yeah. How can we breathe? With space, guys. You're probably right. Thank you, 10th grade class and Mr. K. Keep bloody learning and things. Just, yeah, knowledge. Knowledge! Yeah.

We're not in the Entourage universe. People aren't just going to give you things for existing. Correct. So you've got to work for them. This is from Josiah. This is a spoiler for the latest Star Wars comic. Oh, yes. That reveals a bit about the Han Solo backstory, which is now canon.

So be aware of that, people. If you haven't read it, it's worth a read if you want to go check it out. I think it's number six. Anyway. Hey, guys. Josiah here. I was wondering if you've been reading the new Star Wars comics. I have.

I haven't. There you go. If you have, I'd love to hear your opinions on the recent reveal, spoilers or whatever, that Han Solo is actually married, allegedly. Thanks. Love the show. Grab that, Jim. So at the end of the last book,

a woman gets out of a spacecraft and is like, I'm bloody Han Solo's wife. Bosk. It's me, Bosk. What do you think? When is this set? Just before. No, sorry.

After A New Hope. So he's with Princess Leia and whatever. Oh, that's interesting. Yeah. Wow. When is this set? Just before. No, sorry. After A New Hope. So he's with Princess Leia and whatever. Oh, that's interesting. Yeah. Wow. He hasn't been married in the expanded universe. He wasn't. He had many a girlfriend.

He had Briar Theron. He had Sala. But then he married Princess Leia. He did, yeah. In the post. Exactly. I reckon my wild guess would be that this is some sort of shotgun wedding.

Yep. Like it's, she maybe, she's some, you know, she's some space prince's daughter or something like that. But he's already

got a princess. Well, another one. You know, you know what he's like, the princesses. Yeah. I reckon it's, I reckon it's shotgun wedding

and he didn't want to get married and blah, bitty, blah. Yeah. And now he's on the run from that, I would guess. Okay, fair fair enough and they'll resolve their differences at the end

or she'll be killed yeah i reckon it's probably the latter because we've never heard of this i would say he might not even be married also it could just be like a like a uh clerical era something like yeah exactly sure yeah i don't know yeah cool i'm cool with it or vegas style like they woke up and they both wearing rings and they're like well i guess we're married that's what i mean i'm saying i don't think it's like he. I'm cool with it. Or Vegas style, like they woke up and they were both wearing rings and they're like, well, I guess we're married. That's what I mean. I'm saying, I don't think it's like he's been married 10 years and he abandoned her. Sure, yeah. Yeah.

But he seems like the kind of guy who, you know, he could very well have been married or still be married. So yeah, that works. Yeah. All right. Last letter. I'm ready. Jurassic World is coming out soon.

And I look forward to your guys' commentary on Jurassic Park as it was my favorite. Yes, we did do that didn't we we sure did the weekly planet bandcamp yes dot com and patreon

slash mr sunday movies if you want to see that or just download it for free whatever you want yeah thank you all the people who have by the way yeah

it's been super cool I'll start again we're getting some good feedback on that we've been getting feedback we've definitely been getting a small amount of feedback yes you mentioned before that the CGI in Jurassic World looks worse than the original Good feedback on that. We've been getting feedback. We've definitely been getting a small amount of feedback, yes.

You mentioned before that the CGI in Jurassic World looks worse than the original, along with many others. But I was wondering if you ever considered that maybe it isn't worse, but instead... Maybe we're worse. Yeah, that's probably true. Maybe we're just... No, actually, maybe we're better.

So everything seems worse. Oh, okay. Better than we were in the 90s. Oh, my goodness. I hope that's true. But instead, all film today is clearer and sharper, which makes the CGI more noticeable we were in the 90s. Oh my goodness. I hope that's true. But it said, all film today is clearer and sharper, which makes the CGI more noticeable

than in the early 90s when film was grainier. Do you think that CGI for people and creatures will be ever as good, will be ever so good that it's unnoticeable? If you read this,

I'll be ecstatic. Thanks for the great podcast and keep up the awesome work. He also thanks you for saying static's name is staticatic and not Static Shock. There we go. And he says that'd be like calling Terry McGinnis Batman Beyond. Or Doctor Who Doctor Who, which is his name.

Yeah, exactly, which is fine. Yeah. What do you think about that? We've had some fairly flawless CGI recently, I feel. Chappy is very good. That's not living, though. Yeah, you're right. I don't know.

It's really coming along, though. Like, when you think of the Hulk, like now he's got, you know, he's got great hair. He does have great hair. He's got sweat. I thought the Hulk looked better in the first Avengers

than the latest one. Maybe you're right, yeah. Maybe it's just, did we see it in 3D? I saw it in 3D, then 2D. Yeah, maybe that's just do we see it in 3d uh i saw it in 3d then 2d yeah maybe that's why i think it's it's getting to the point where it's almost kind of photorealistic i think in like five to ten years you won't you won't be able to tell yeah what do you think yes i think it might but again i think it's a case of the best, the best will be that. And I think,

you know, the best will be flawless and imperceptible, but I think what's going to happen is technology is going to move to the point where you can just like, if you want somebody to have realistic hair, you can just cut and paste realistic hair, like over the top. Like it's just going to be a plugin.

Like, and that hair will look amazing, but it's just where you, you know, if you, somebody who's not particularly good at it will just sort of put it on haphazard or whatever. Yeah, yeah. And it's not going to look great because it doesn't...

Sit right. It doesn't sit right. Shadow and whatever. Yeah, exactly. But I think all the tools will be there to have flawless CGI if you know what you're doing. Yeah. But I think... Most people don't. Most people don't know what you're doing. But I think most people don't.

Most people don't know what they're doing, yeah. What do you think is the best kind of CGI living thing that you've seen? I find whenever I go back and look at things. Yes. You often look at things. I do. But even like five years ago, it's weird that you don't notice it at the time.

But now that it's come a certain way, you're like, oh, that doesn't hold up so well. It's strange that you can't notice it at the time, but now that it's come a certain way, you're like, oh, that doesn't hold up so well. It's strange that you can be tricked by it. Yes. And then five years later, kind of see through it. Like, I wonder what's going to happen with CGI now. Will we look back at, I don't know, Andy Serkis' Planet of the Apes and go like,

oh, geez, really? Do you know what I mean? Yeah, that's actually a good question. Yeah. At a certain point, we're going to... I don't know. I think there's a certain threshold where your brain just gives up. Yeah.

Because that's as good as it's... That's death you're talking about. Yeah. Oh, yeah. At a certain point, we're all going to die and it's not going to matter, I think is the answer there. Yeah. Yeah, but no, Andy Serkis, that's what I was thinking of.

The Planet of the Apes apes. Yeah. At no point am I like, oh, that's a bit CGI. Yeah. I'm like, how did they get the ape to fire those machine guns on the top of the Apes apes. Yeah. At no point am I like, oh, that's a bit CGI. Yeah. I'm like, how did they get the ape to fire those machine guns on the top of the horse? I'm excited for Jurassic World. So we're going to see it this week and next week's Jurassic World week,

isn't it? It is too. I'm so excited. Yeah. I'm mildly excited. You're bloody mildly excited. I'm going to see a movie. I think it'll be a relief not to see two movies like we did.

Yeah. I don't normally do this, but I saw an amusing... I was going through some reviews on iTunes and I saw an amusing review. Of our show? Yeah. No, just whoever's. No, it's from Al Maximo.

The best possible podcast one could produce considering one of the co-hosts is a goat in a Han Solo costume and the other is Mason. Five stars. That's fair. Rate us on iTunes. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Do we say that?

We don't really say that that often, do we? No, because we don't understand what it's for. Sometimes we say, and again, sometimes we're like, subscribe on iTunes because it helps with the people seeing us. We only say that because other people say that. Yeah. We don't know if that works. I think it helps, though.

Yeah. I mean, if you want to do that this week. The urban myth is that helps us i mean if you want to do that this the urban myth is that helps us so if you want to that'd be great yeah super as yeah super bloody good as yeah so that's the really the show for this week anything else to add i'm just kidding i loved entourage no i didn't would you go back and watch the show uh maybe if somebody was like this is the episode okay like maybe it's like if somebody was like this is the absolute low point of film tv entertainment this episode where this happens don't spoil it for me yeah but just be like this is it this is this is where vin vinny is the most vinny and etc and they're all and ari is the most ari or whatever i can't think of a more entourage

episode than the one where they get motorcycles oh Oh, sure. The free motorcycle episode. So I think you've seen it, to be honest. Great. Success. Weird that you've seen that one. Because they all kind of blend together. But that one I remember very vividly. Probably because of the motorcycles.

Probably. Yeah. There's also a bit in that one. I remember this annoying me. Like one of the fans, they're all after Vinny Chase. And they're like, hey, was that Seahorse you rode? Was it animatronic or CGI? And he's like, I don't know know like you would know that yeah you'd remember

you'd remember sitting on an animatronic seahorse or sitting on a big green like a bat like a broom with a with a green curtain draped over it exactly so he's an idiot yeah he's no good anyway where can people find us oh they can find us at weekly planet pod
