Shooting up your butt hole. podcast from our great mates. James, we're in a spaceship or something. I don't know. We're just, oh, God. You know the thing that we do. We're in a spaceship.

We did aliens, though, already, didn't we? This is a different... Yeah, but... These are different aliens. Is this an extension of that? No, it's different. It's different. It's a big... It's different aliens.

And we've got to listen to all clips from the podcast because they're learning our language or something. Have we done that one? Okay. Wait, why do we have to listen to it for them to... But we're all listening to it, like collectively, is that right? Yeah, yeah, yeah listen to it for them to... We're all listening to it, like, collectively, is that right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think we're all listening to it.

They would like clarification on some of the elements from the clips, I think. Did Collings, who did a wonderful job editing all this together, did he put in any sci-fi background noises, which maybe add to the ambiance to this scenario? Look, maybe. I mean, this is a real thing that's happening, obviously.

Yeah. But were it a fictional scenario, I imagine he would have found the first thing in the sci-fi sound library, like literally the first thing off the top. You know what I mean? Because it's been a long year for everybody, James. It's been a long year. Boy, has it. Could I make a second request?

If this was fictional, could we say in this scenario that I don't have COVID? Could we say that? Yes. Yes, that's right. We could say, we could absolutely say you don't have COVID and we are definitely in the same room together because we've been abducted by aliens.

Spaceship. Yep, we're in a spaceship. And so this is, despite the fact that this is some sort of alien abduction scenario, we are, this has gone very smoothly, you know. I agree. Relatively speaking, I think, yeah. Best case scenario.

Yeah. We'll be back at the end for a bit of a, just to wrap things up. We hope everybody enjoys these best of episodes. I know, as mentioned, Collins puts in an insane amount of effort and he takes a lot of requests and all that to get this done. But let's roll the clips, and we're all learning how to speak English or whatever. The aliens are.

I think at the end we'll be like, you know, the aliens learned our language, but we actually learned something about ourselves because it was a metaphor also, you know what I mean? That's a good point. Yeah. Let's find out. Welcome back, everybody,

to another episode of the Weekly Planet, where we talk movies and comics and TV shows. My name is James, also known as Mr. Sunday. With me, as always, is my co-host, Nick Macehost. That's me. It's great to be here. We're celebrating. We're out of lockdown for probably another week.

Well, you know, ish. We were supposed to have another guest this week. We couldn't because of various lockdowns and whatever. We can do it apparently. That's right. We're technically media. We're doing big dabs in celebration. You should have seen how many dabs that Mason and Mason alone was doing during the theme song. You started the dabs. I wasn't doing it.

Because I would have brought it up if I had done it. Well, you know what? I'm doing dabs in love. Something that I wanted to mention, I've been thinking about this week. I didn't mention it last week, but I learned last week that your son has given everyone in your household a role within the Avengers. Yes.

So you're the Falcon for some reason. Yep. Claire, your wife, is- Also Falcon. Double Falcons. Captain Marvel? Yep. He is Ant-Man and your baby is Baby Groot.

Yes. And then the other week you said to your son, hey, Mace is here, what role could Mace have in the Avengers? And your son said, he can be a pig rolling down a hill. And I've been thinking about it. And honestly, it's the funniest thing he's ever said and maybe the funniest thing anyone's ever said. So if you see your son at some point in the near future,

just let him know I said well done. That's so funny. I just forgot that. How did I forget that? That's the funniest thing in the world. And I didn't prompt him to say that, did I? No, I don't think so, no. He just said it.

He had it ready. He's like a roast machine, this guy. He's the king of sting, your son. Oh, you're not wrong. Speaking of... Anyway, they kept me going through lockdown all this week. I'm like, that's good stuff. Mason, I know you love Super Mario Brothers, the movie.

I'd forgotten about Super Mario Brothers, the movie. We've done a video on it. The Super Mario Brothers News. And yes, the Super Mario Brothers News. Yes. Super News... I've lost it. Super Newsio Brothers.

Thank you. It's time for our new ongoing segment. Look, I mean, people know, obviously, we started this podcast in anticipation of Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice. It's true. And it's gone on to do moderate things, this podcast. Yeah. And why not?

Pivot. We need a new goal. We do. Maybe it's the release of this thing, this animated whatever this thing is. Yes. It'll be a thing for a day. That's right. When it finally comes out.

There was a Nintendo Direct, as I understand it. Nintendo's big news roundup in LA. And so let's do Super Newsio Brothers. Correct. It's from Illumination Studios who did Minions and other things. It's coming December 2022. And they named a cast. They named a cast.

It's a heck of a cast. It's a big time cast. Also Charles Martinet who voices a bunch of a cast. It's a big time cast. Also, Charles Martinet, who voices a bunch of the characters, including Mario in the games, he's going to have surprise cameos in the movie. He does It's a Me and the whatever. But they're not going with It's a Me,

It's a whatever. It's a whatever. I don't care anymore. I'm stuck in this pot of plant. I don't care. I'm in a deep of depression. I don't care anymore. It's a whatever. It's a whatever. I don't want to jump on the platforms anymore. Oh, maybe I can do it. You can definitely do it.

And they haven't cast Mario yet, so maybe I'm in with a shot. They went in red hot with Christopher Pratt. Oh, Christopher Pratt. Christopher Prattly. Now, on the surface, I hate this. Yeah. But I understand why they did it. For one, he's a name who is famous.

That's true. He can promote the movie. He's got that fame name. Yeah, he'll do like a Ryan Reynolds style whatever, you know, and he'll promote it very well. And he's done other animators. And he's a good voice actor. Yeah, yeah.

So he's done the Lego movie. He's done other voice acting. I think he was in that one about where I was in my dad's set of legs or whatever. Oh, yeah, he was in the set of legs movie. Do you think he's going to be doing some of this? Great question. I don't know.

I don't think so. Well, you think he's just going to be generic man voice? Probably. But the thing is as well, like, to be honest, I don't want two hours of, hey, what's going on? Like, I don't want that either. Because here's the thing. So I'm not up to date on modern Mario games at all.

I'm years behind. How much talking does Mario actually do? Not that much. He does yippee and he does. Oh, no. I'm so depressed. Yeah. I'm going to let down for a minute.

Just on this fire flower. You know? Yeah, exactly. Yeah, but like how much is that sustainable? Like I'm sure he's not doing big monologues in the game. That's what I'm talking about. So that's just, that is what it is. Like I totally get it.

So he's done. I'm here to defeat the Metal Gear. Everybody think, why do you clone me? But I'm a clone of him. That is the biggest secret. Metal Gear style. The franchise has been a purchase by Hideo Kojima. He's doing a Mario game.

Oh, no. Ultimately, I don't think... There's a lot of cut scenes in those games. That's the joke. I think Mario Sunshine he talks a lot, maybe. Okay, right. Or other people talk a lot. I don't know.

I've never actually played it. I own it but I've never actually played it. Yeah I think of Mario as a sort of famously silent protagonist because he's from that era. Yeah.

He's like Zelda or you know the boy the boy of Zelda. He's got a green hat and he runs around he's got the sword. Or like you know Samus from Metroid or

whatever they don't really talk a lot because they didn't they didn't talk originally because there was no talking and now they just become.

Yeah. It was just like a text box that said, oh no, oh no, I'm so sad. Why do I even bother anymore? Nobody respect me, you know, et cetera. I'm adjusting to my new medication. It'll be a rough couple of days, but then I'll be fine. You know?

I know. That's what happens. I love depressed Mario. So what or should it be depression Mario? Oh, depressio? Depressio. He's going to have one of the buttons on his overalls is undone. Yeah, and one of his shoelaces is untied and he hasn't noticed. Yeah.

Or shoes wrong feet. Yeah, shoes wrong feet. Who's Wario and Waluigi? There's not that on the list. Not in this one, I guess. Or could be that. I reckon they'll appear at the end. Yeah.

They'll open and they'll be like, eh, eh, eh. We're the originals, eh. Eh. Oh, no, I'm a secret. Okay. But look, if we're talking animated movies, the big news of the week. Yes.

I don't know if you've seen this, but Space Jam A New Legacy has some more imagery. I see what this is. There's been a couple of highlights which I want to go through. Okay. Now, as someone, you specifically, who's passionately in love with the Lady Fox from the Robin Hood movie, that's you. No, that's you. No, no. Continue.

I've written here that it's you. It's in writing, so I don't know where else to go here. And you're pointing a finger at me, but then you've got three fingers pointing back at you. But I'm also holding a mirror. So it's, you know, I'm just saying that's where we're at. Anyway, controversially. Seems we're at an impasse.

We'll settle this one day. Controversially, Lola Bunny has had a redesign. I mean, not really controversially. It's a manufactured. Well, yeah. Well, as most controversies, yeah, of this nature. It's like when they redesigned all the women in Mortal Kombat and they've got clothes on now and it's like, settle down.

Did they do that? It's outrageous. I wasn't aware. I haven't played the latest game. So, yeah, they've basically taken away her boobs. Ah, okay. From what I could tell from the side-by-side images I was posted relentlessly to send to you

because people knew it's the easiest way to contact you about this thing that you love. So that I can pass it along to you. But I was holding a mirror to my Twitter account. Apparently those new Looney Tunes cartoons are quite good, the ones they've been making. Like the new Animaniacs. Yeah, exactly.

And they've done like Bugs Bunny and whatever. And I think they took away guns and people were upset. I don't fucking know. Laced them with radios? Yeah, radios. Elmer Fudd's just radioing for help all the time. This rabbit keeps dressing up as a lady and kissing me. Oh, and he just goes on to Twitter.

Complains about it. Complains about it. Complains about it, yeah. It's like society these days. So. Then he gets cancelled. Then he gets cancelled, yeah. Good. Before we talk about Godzilla's fighting a monkey, the movie,

he's been forced to fight a regular monkey. Oh, my God. Yeah. Then I have to talk about other news in relation to Adam Wingard. Please. Who was the director of that movie because he's come out this week and he said, I'm directing a Thundercats movie. I'm going to be doing a Thundercats movie, he said.

Is that how he put the episode? Thundercats movie, he said. I don't like that. This is interesting. I don't have a lot of faith in this project if he's going to say it like that. No, you should because listen to this. This is the greatest Thundercats movie lead-up I've ever heard in my life and you've got to love this.

And we've heard a bunch in our time. Yeah, we certainly have. So Thundercats run from 85 to 88. But anyway, so Adam Wingard was obsessed with Thundercats and he made a point of saying not when I was six because he's like 38 years old. It was like I was obsessed with Thundercats in year 10. So when he was like 15, 16, 17 or whatever. So what he did over the course of that year and it ruined his schooling, he wrote a 272 page script for Thundercats. So more than four hours this movie. That's right.

Exactly. So it probably would have even more than that because what do you, what's a 15 year old know about script writing? It's probably just, it's probably just, he said he hand wrote it. Okay. That's wow. wow okay so it was one of those things where i would carry around my notebooks and talk about it i didn't even realize kids in my class were making fun of me and they would ask me questions about my thundercat screenplay it was only one day my friends asked me and i was excitedly telling him about all the things about my thundercat screenplay and i heard him turn around to some of the girls in the class and these were girls i had crushes on and he was making fun of me for writing thundercats

so this is a man after my own heart just loving thundercats well past the point where you should be loving thundercats seems like a real revenge of the nerds situation yeah but not like the movie which is horrible exactly it really is yeah just uh i bet none of his friends are doing a goddamn thing and he's making thundercats movies and what looks like is going to be one of the biggest movies of the year but he said in terms of how he was going to make it it's going to keep the 80s

aesthetic he loves the designs and he's going to keep the designs and you who loves sexy animal people you said sexy you'd probably also like those designs. I didn't say any of those

things. That's what you're about. No no no that's what you're about I think. Okay well look. I mean you brought this up I had no idea this was happening but you're

right. No you insisted before the show that I mention this and make mention that you are the one involved in this. And I don't know why you're now turning it back on me. Because it's the truth. I feel like I've been betrayed for this thing that you love.

Wow. But so... You literally said that you were loving Thundercats and you would never let it go. You said that. No, I said he said that. And I'm loving that he wouldn't let it go. But you said he's a man after your heart.

Yeah, because that's the thing. Your heart being a loving animal. No, no, no, because I like, you know, when you get to high school, when you're still liking like kids' properties and like comic books and things like that, but you can't openly tell people. For him it's Thundercats and for you it's Thundercats. But for me it's something cool. Wow.

Like skateboarding or something. You know what I mean? That's what I was doing. But I think also if you're cool. Wow. Like skateboarding or something. You know what I mean? That's what I was doing. But I think also if you're going to make a Thundercats movie for some reason, for some reason, why wouldn't you get the guy, aside from you who loves Thundercats more than anything in the world? You. No, no, him, this guy.

Oh, I see. Right, right, right. But he looks through the sword or whatever, doesn't he? Does he? The guy looks through the sword. It gives him the sight of something. Huh. Don't you remember? Not really. He loved sword, it gives him the sight of something. Huh. Don't you remember?

Not really. You love it, you know what I'm talking about. I remember Silverhawks guy. Yeah, I bet you were. Yeah. You liked those sexy bird costumes, didn't you? Again, sexy is what you said to me before the show. That's literally what you said just then.

This is the first time I've ever brought up Silverhawks and you're like, hmm, Hawks, sexy, interesting. Very interesting. So, yeah, okay, all that aside, what do you think about a Thundercats movie? I'd probably watch it. Yeah, we would, wouldn't we? Yeah. It's neither here nor there.

Speaking of something they're not doing. Go on. Die Hard 5 has been cancelled. Forever. It's done. Yep. We've talked this to death, but I couldn't get through 5. Well, I mean, I still haven't gone to it,

even though it is free on Disney Plus now. Is it free or does it cost you time? It costs you time, that's true, yeah. And technically it's not free because you pay for Disney Plus, Mason. Technically, Mason, you pay a monthly subscription fee. And even if you share an account, somebody obviously is paying for that. Even the electricity that you use in your television, it's technically not free, Mason.

I like this guy. I don't. I get a message from this guy every few days, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. Let's do some Netflix news, Mason. I like this guy. I don't. I get a message from this guy every few days, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. Let's do some

Netflix news, Mason. I've got a few things to go through here. A few things to get off your chest about Netflix? Not really. Yeah, I mean,

because you get it for free, so. Mason. Mason, Mason, Mason. I complain about something you get for free, you know? It's all just free stuff.

Mason, Mason, Mason. Yes. So sweet. This is my new character, Guy Who Never Learns Any Lessons. In more Netflix news, they apparently are going to require vaccines for cast and crew for US productions.

Okay, cool. I mean, what is this? George Orwell's 1984, but also good. That's a good thing. Sounds good. It's firing up the Delta variant. So, you know, I'm getting vaccine next week. I got a good thing. Sounds like it. It's firing up, the Delta variant. So, you know, I'm getting vaccinated next week.

I've got it booked in. Nice. So I'm excited to head down and get my bloody 5G, bloody. And the great thing is it's free. It's a free service. Yes, it is. There we go. I knew I'd get one right eventually.

But, Mason. Yes. Technically, I'm going to drive my car there, and petrol is not a free commodity. Ever heard of taxes? I know it's catching. I'm the guy as well now. Anyway, there was a quiet bidding war between Apple, Amazon and Netflix

for Knives Out 2 and 3. All right. So these are owned and licensed by Rian Johnson, who I think made one of the best Star Wars movies, I'm just saying, and his producing partner and T Street co-founder. Shh, everyone, shh, don't tell anyone. Don't tell anyone I said that. I agree, but shh.

Co-founder Ram Bergman on a picture-by-picture basis. So Netflix closed this deal for Knives Out 2 and 3 for $450 million. Wow. That's so much money. Now, is that the production deal? So are they going to give him? He's already making it or he's already filming it. Yeah, I think he's making it, then they buy it.

Okay. I think. So they're not personally handing him $450 million, but even if they were, good on him. No, I think they are, essentially. Oh, because it would be going to his production company. Yeah, right, wow. So pretty much, good on him. No, I think they are, essentially. Oh, because he'd be going to his production company. Yeah, right, wow. So pretty much, good on him.

Get that cheese. Is that the expression? I don't know. The next two Knives Out movies are just being filmed on Zoom. Yeah. Nobody's wearing any makeup or whatever, and he's just taking, and it's going to cost $1 million, and he's just going to take $459 million, $449 million for himself.

Absolutely go for it. Do you know that means that people are involved in the film now from now on because I think they've locked in two for three. They're like, give me $20 million, Ryan Johnson. Ah, okay, right. Give me $20 million of your dollars right now. Yeah. I'm going to put props in my Zoom background.

Give it to me. Give me the money, Ryan Johnson. Give me the money. I think this will be more of a kind of a Marvel Cinematic Universe where he'll just get in. People will be like, oh, I would like to be in a good movie actually. I would love to be in a good movie too. Give me the $20 million. Give me that goddamn money, Ryan Johnson.

We know you've got it on you. I was going to say it's sticking out of your pockets. Open your wallet. Just let me see how much money you've got in your wallet. Let me see what you're holding, Ryo Johnson. Oh, you've got that cheese! As is the expression. It's an Australian expression. It's not. It is.

It's not. We don't even have cheese here. Yeah, that's right. We're all lactose intolerant. It's all fruit. Every meal is fruit. Just tropical fruits. It's a fucking nightmare. Mason, Deadliner reporting that Russell Crowe is going to make a fun little cameo in the next Thor movie. Does it say fun little cameo there?

I wrote fun little cameo. The headline doesn't say fun little cameo. No, but they're saying he's making it. I'm excited to be here and making a fun little cameo. But they said he's going to be in it. To win it. That's right. And it's going to be like a minor role.

Okay. So I think it's just going to be like a Matt Damon in the last one and et cetera and so forth. So that's fun. Yeah. Good on you, Russell Crowe. Get that cheese.

And I'm sorry, he's from New Zealand, so he wouldn't understand that expression. So I apologize. Get that Kiwi bird or fruit. So the universe you're building in this episode, James, is that Australia doesn't have cheese, but we have an expression that is get that cheese. Yeah, because cheese is rare. We don't have it. So it's like

you get that if you can because we do not have any cheese. So is it a metaphor or is it do we really mean cheese? No, it's money because you can't get cheese here. Right. Do you understand? No. It's good though. Everyone who listens to this gets it. It's just you. I'm hoping you add more to this in this or subsequent episodes,

but I like it. I like the world you're building. Thank you. Star Wars News, Mason. I'm ready. I'm ready. You were smiling and then your face just dropped. It's business time, James.

There's no time for fun because the Star Wars news has started. Sorry, Star Wars news. And then you say, Star Wars news. And then you say. Oh, yeah, all right. Whatever, man. The Book of Boba Fett got a poster. Did you see that?

He's in his big throne. His big throne. Is that Jabba's throne? Yes. Okay, yes, yes, yes. Didn't they keep the Rancor under there, like just wedged in the door? Oh, that's a great question. Squished in there?

Yeah, I reckon maybe they like sawed bits off it for like Life Day lunch or whatever. Okay, Life Day lunch. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Do you reckon they'll get another big creature in there? What's a nice big creature that they could put in there? A new thing? No. No. No, James. It's a nice big creature that they could put in there? A new thing? No.

No. No, James, not a new thing. Well, I know. A thing that we know from another thing. Yeah, you're right. Well, let me think. A bunch of Minox? Yeah.

They'd be flapping about in there? A Gorax. What's a Gorax? From Caravan of Courage. Oh. You know, the big Ewok monster? Oh, yeah, sure, sure, sure. Put a Gorax in there.

Okay, yeah. Let's talk about Gorax, everyone. Let's talk about him. Anyway, we've also got a release date. It's December 29th, and here's the log line that they released. Okay. The series is described as a thrilling Star Wars adventure. I hated everything about that.

I hated how you said it. I hated how it's been written. I don't like the accent you used. It seems like you mostly didn't like what I brought to it. Because it was partly a quote, but it partly wasn't a quote. Like you're clearly quoting someone else when you said that. Yeah. It's good, isn't it?

Give it to me one more time. The series is described as a thrilling Star Wars adventure. No, because you're putting a weird spin on it. The series is described as a thrilling Star Wars adventure. No, because you're putting a weird spin on it. The series is described as a thrilling Star Wars adventure. It's like you're shouting it from a car as you drive past. Like you throw an egg. You're like, the series is something, something Star Wars adventure. All right.

There's more to it, though. It finds legendary. Do I run after the car? Give him a piece of my mind? It finds legendary bounty hunter Boba Fett and mercenary Fennec Shand navigating the galaxy's underworld when they return to the sands of Tatooine to stake their claim on the territory once ruled by Jabba the Hutt and his crime syndicate.

Whoa. What do you think of that? I love it. Do you? Yeah. Good. That's Wednesday. That's a Wednesday

to say no. So these are going to be a Wednesday night show as well. So this is replacing the Marvel slate, I would assume. Yeah, I think Hawkeye would have wrapped up by then probably. So then we'll be into this particular thing. Did you see also they finished Cassian Andor this week? They were like, we finished Cassian Andor just this week. And expect a few cameo surprises.

The Gorax, he's back. The Gorax, he's back. The Gorax, he's Gorbax. Well, I think the Gorax, he fell down a pit. Okay. But there could be a second Gorax. James, there's always a second Gorax. There is. That was the log line for Caravan of Courage.

There's always a second Gorax. You won't see it. No. But there is one. You just know it's there. Well, the Ewok movies are sequels to Return of the Jedi, so we don't know when they could be seen. But there's also like a Gorax head in one of the –

it's the one where the guy has Darth Vader's apprentice game. Force Unleashed. Yeah, that one. You see a Gorax head. I feel like what's happened here, James, is you've invested in some sort of Gorax-based cryptocurrency and you're trying to build hype for the Gorax as a concept. Of course I am.

You're like this is going to make me some sweet bucks. I'm going to dump it as soon as anybody buys it. Yeah. So there you go. Another trailer we got was the Boba Fett Variety Hour which might be a limited series or I'll probably end up doing a few. Where it follows the escapades

of one Boba Svett. That's right. We got out of Sarlacc. We saw that in The Mandalorian. Now he's getting his own adventures where he's taken over Jabba the Hutt's palace and he's no longer a bounty hunter and he wants to rule or command. He just wants to rule, man. I'm going to rock out, everybody, he says.

He's got a jizz band and he's touring the galaxy. That's right. No, he wants to rule through respect. I've traded my flamethrower for this sweet keyboard. So, yeah, it looks cool and I'm excited to watch this, I guess. I think it debuts late December, I want to say. His foes don't respect him, it seems. Why wouldn't they respect him?

Because he took his helmet off. And he got ate by that Sarlacc. I think it would be interesting if like they- And he's bad at his job. And he's bad at his job. Retroactively, they make it he never took his helmet off because he's just a clone. And they'd be like, we, what? You're one of these guys?

Yeah, yeah. There's a million of these guys. Though they do get phased out. What if you have any hair though? What happened to you? He got melted in the Sarlacc. Oh, yeah. Though he does look a little.

Does he have eyebrows? I think he looks, I think he's not as pasty in this one. So it also needs to explain, like, he must have got out of the Sarlacc relatively soon after the Return of the Jedi. Yeah. And then he spent five years with the sand people in the desert, it seems. Yeah.

I don't know. Maybe he gets some Bacta. Like, he gets Bacta'd up. He backs it up, mate. Yes, that's true. You know what I mean? Yeah. Booker Boba Fett, what do you think?

Looks cool. Yep. Your favourite character? Yeah, I love him. Wow. I mean? Yeah. Booker Boba Fett. What do you think? It's cool. Yep. It's your favorite character. Yeah. I love him. Wow. Yeah. I also love him.

I'm going to, I'm going to, um, dresses him for my wedding. New, new armor or old? Oh, both.

I'm going to switch it out. Wow. For the ceremony. Yeah. I haven't decided which is which yet. Yeah. That's really good. Oh,

you know what? Um, you could ding it up in between. Yeah, or I could do like old school for the ceremony, but then for the reception, white, all white. Oh, like the original Boba Fett armor. Yes. I like that a lot.

Yeah, that's cool. But then people might be like, you're Stormtrooper? Yeah. So original armor during the ceremony, reception, flames down the sides, black with flames down the sides that's pretty cool what's your wife got, doesn't really matter I don't know, dress or whatever

dress or whatever she's going to be operating the flamethrower so, you know just buy the propane tank just some flame proof, I guess gone down the aisle A propane tank. Yeah, just some flame proof, I guess. Gone down the aisle. Nick Mason.

I was going to put something in the middle. I couldn't think of it. I mean, there's still time. I'm at 40%. You know that. That's true, yeah. 40% is me saying and remembering your name. Anything beyond that. Imagine the power you would wield if you're up to like 45.

I'd think of a funny thing in the middle. You could have put a funny thing in there. I probably used to have done that, you know what I mean? That's true. Back in my heyday, you know? Not now. Mason, I love podcasts. Is it cold in here, Mason?

No. I'm cold. You're wearing a little hoodie. No, but my ankles are exposed, Mason. I don't have socks on. Turn your little heater on then. No, Mason, I'll be fine. I'll just sit here and whinge.

Okay. Which that's the Australian way, isn't it? And, you know, that's how this podcast goes. True. How excited are you for July of 2022? Depends what's happening in July of 2022. Indiana Jones 5, the fifth one. You are excited?

Yeah. Did you hear this week? A couple of things. John Williams is back to score. Phoebe Waller-Bridge joins the cast. Yeah, female lead. That's right. Who's she going to be?

Is India going to have a daughter? Maybe. Because he's like, well, Mutt didn't work out. He says that in the movie? Yep. Mutt didn't work out. We all saw that. We all know what happened there.

Lucky I have a backup kid. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, it could just be like an assistant or whatever. It wouldn't really matter. But it's clearly, well, I hope so, not going to be a love interest because you don't, it's at the point in his life where you do not need to give him a love interest anymore.

I think so, yeah. He's nearly 80. He got married anyway, didn't he, or whatever. Oh, he did, didn't he? He got married, Mason. Are we pretending that last one didn't happen? I don't think so. They're all canon.

Young Indiana Jones is also canon. It's all canon. Okay. So she was also in Solo, interestingly. She's the robot, which is Harrison Ford. It's not Harrison Ford. You know what I'm talking about. I do. I do. Yeah. We don't even have to explain it. Yeah, good.

Just imagine all those concepts in your mind. Yeah. Works out, doesn't it? I didn't like that character, if I'm honest. But I do like her a lot, so I think this is a good move. Cool. And she's written some of the Bond film, the new one, or distanced herself at this point.

Sure. She's been like, I sort of, I don't. I want to be very clear that my parts of the Bond movie I wrote very quickly. My part of this disaster of Bond movie, I knocked it out in five minutes flat, and I can do that with all future projects. You know it's true.

I'm abandoning this albatross that's around everybody else's necks. Goodbye. Goodbye. Bridge out. Bridge out. Bridge out. Bridge out. James, you're at at least 50% right now.

I'm made up there, mate. I think my cold feet are giving me that edge I need. So in relation to The Last of Us, apparently each episode is going to exceed eight figures, which I had to punch out. $10 million? That's right. Well done.

Even with a headache, you can do it. So probably more than $10 million. I nearly said $10 billion and I'm like, that's too much money. Seems too much, doesn't it? Not a good return on investment, I think. I think it's, no. Well, that's the thing. I just wanted to ask you and the listeners, I guess.

That's right. What's the roof on this? What's the return you're hoping for on something like this? Yeah. You know? I think it's also one of those things where HBO has like a flagship or a couple of flagships and everything else is like cheaper. You know what I mean?

Yeah, right, right, right. So it's like premium, premium. Like Game of Thrones was that. Speaking of, did you hear Westworld was delayed? The season of Westworld? Well, they can't. They're like, we can't really do it at the moment because of the pandemic. So in honour of that, I'm going to keep saying Westworld in the What Are We Reading segment of the show.

Go on. Until Westworld comes back. And then what will you do? I don't know. Maybe I'll just keep doing it. But just let everybody know. Put that date in your mind for episode one, season four of Westworld whenever that comes out. Okay.

Keep it just locked away in the back of your mind, all right? Push something else out. Yeah. Push out an important birth date or something and just remember this insane thing that James is doing. I just think it's one of those things where people who hate that need a little bit of hope, you know what I mean? Sure, yeah.

Someone to look forward to in this drab, horrible world that we live in. And then you'll dash that hope. I'll dash it. Or I won't. We'll see. I don't know. Anyways, let's talk Marvel news, Mason. Please.

I got some Tom Holland wig news. I promise that up top. I don't know if you know this, but he actually walked into the new movie with his uncharted hair and a bit of his uncharted Nathan Drake swagger. The Nathan Drake attitude. Exactly. That you might see in a video game. And also, like, his pants were wet up to the knees,

like Nathan Drake's often are. And they said, you've brought too much Nathan Drake to this role. And he was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What should I say? Whoa, whoa, whoa. Oh, oh. Looks a lordy, he said. Which is Nathan Drake's signature sound when he's about to fall off a ledge.

When he's about to fall off a thing, yeah. So what I've done, there's a quote from Tom Holland about how he wanted to keep his Nathan Drake hair because they wanted to keep a wig. And I've actually sent this quote over to Mason. Oh, you've emailed it to me. Okay, I'll just check it. Because he does a better Tom Holland voice than I do.

Okay. And even though you haven't read this, I'd like you to give it a go. Okay. Yeah. Me hair in on chart is much cooler, he stated. I have cool shaved sides and it's slick at the back. And that's not very Peter Parker. He's a bit of a loser.

So they put this wig on me that was just around the sides. For the first time in me life, I put me foot down as the leading actor and I was like, I'm not flipping wearing that wig. You can just, I'm going to have shorter hair and you're going to have to deal with it. This guy's getting real. Right? Yeah.

He'll say anything. He'll say anything. He doesn't fear cancel culture. He'll wear a wig that's a bit short around the sides. So I changed, it was a different F word, but I changed it to flipping because I thought it would be funny. I understand. Also, you're not a big fan of swearing, so I didn't want to put that on you.

You know what I mean? I understand. So what do you think about that? I would have worked in. I would have been probably around it. I know you would have, Mason. I wasn't trying to trick you. Okay.

But do you notice every now and then there's a thread in Reddit or something that's like, do you notice Mason doesn't really swear that much? Do you notice that? People are like, yes, we know. Yeah, and they're like, why don't you call him Nathan Mason, Nathan really swear that much. Do you notice that? People are like, yes, we know. Yeah, and they're like, why did you call him Nathan Mason, Nathan, Nathan? Because I'm drunk, obviously, Nathan. We've got another bit of news though. Well, Melbourne's two days into third lockdown.

Third, it feels like forever. And we might be coming out of it midweek or we might stay in it forever. We'll just see what happens, won't we? It's okay. I bought some toilet paper and I bought a box of donuts, so I'll be fine for weeks. That's right. I'll be fine.

Are you freezing them or are you just keeping it out on the bench, the toilet paper? I was going to say, yep. All right, we've got to... The answer is I've eaten it all. Everything I've purchased, I've eaten it. Spider-Man hijinks this week for Spider-Man 3. Did you see they were doing fake titles or whatever?

Yeah, I made my own fake title. What was yours again? Mine was because it had to have home in the title. Mine was Spider-Man Google Home Brand Partnership, which I think, you know. Like that Google movie where those dads worked at Google or whatever? Yeah. That was a good movie, wasn't it?

But no, it ended up being called No Way Home. Okay. Presumably because of all the interdimensional situations that are going on. Yeah. But Tom Holland has reiterated again and again that he's like, I'm telling you, I'm telling you, there's no other Spider-Man in these movies. There's only one Spider-Man and it's me and I'm a boy. I'm a little boy.

I'm a little boy. That's what he said. He's 25. I know that. But when will he age out of this joke that we do? Never. Okay, good. Never. Good. Speaking of...

At our funerals. When he eulogises? Yeah, we're going to... I didn't know these men, but they mocked me every day, every week. I'm doing this to honour them. And then he'll do his man voice after that. So I did send something over to you from Collider. Oh, okay. These are the concerns, sorry, how he played Nathan Drake

and how he might have fucked it up. Really? Because I feel like you do the better Tom Holland voice. Well, let's give it a whirl then, okay. Can you recreate this? I think there are elements of my performance in Uncharted where I kind of fell under that spell of being, I want to look good now, I want this to be my cool moment.

I had to play this very tough, very stoic guy, basically be Mark Wahlberg. My character is supposed to be a flippant action hero in this moment. Look, I haven't seen it, so I don't know if I succeeded in that, but it was an important lesson learned because at times it was less about landing a mark and going through the scene and more about land a mark, stare like this, and see my bulging biceps. It was a mistake and it's something I'll probably never do again.

What do you think of that? Very cool. He's a very cool big man. It seems that way, doesn't it? I guess that would be in your head the whole time, that you've got to kind of play this a certain way and does that ruin everything else? Or maybe it's bad and he's just like, this is bad enough.

This is my way of wiping my hands of it. My sooty chimney sweeping hands. I'm wiping me hands of this. I'm wiping me hands of this. I'm wiping me hands of the mind snake. The movie where I've got a snake in me mind. Yeah, that one's not going to be good, is it? No, it's coming out soon. What's that called again?

Dream Planet. You said, what's it going to be called again? And I went, the mind snake, obviously. No, it's not. It's called Chaos Walking. It is called Chaos Walking. I saw an ad on the back of a bus. Oh, wow.

Buses are coming back. Buses are back, baby. Sick. Because, you know, we talked about buses on ads have been the movie, the show. You mean ads on buses. Shut up, Mason. You mean buses on ads. I don't know what I mean.

Okay. And I never will. Speaking of things that I like, did you see that Marvel trailer about like, come back to the movies already. Marvel loves the movies. You'd never guess, but we love the movies. You better get back here. Yeah, so it's Stanley talking about courage and movies

and whatever, heroes. But more importantly. More importantly, there's a few reveals. A few snippets from various upcoming movies, yeah. So the Eternals. I also had a bit of a panicked moment yesterday because my nephews were around and they were like, hey, did you see that Eternals trailer?

I'm like, no, it was just a snippet. And they're like, no, it just came out. There was an Eternals trailer. And I'm like, hey, did you see that Eternals trailer? I'm like, no, it was just a snippet. And they're like, no, it just came out. There was an Eternals trailer. And I'm like, oh, God fucking damn it. So I thought it had just dropped. Yeah, right. So I'm like, I'm going to have to go and do an Eternals trailer breakdown. But thank God they were idiots and I got away with it, mate.

That's right, yeah. Yeah, until that inevitably does happen to me. Yeah, that's right. I survived another day. Yes, there you go. No, what's going to happen there is one day you're going to be checking like a TikTok channel. I'm assuming they have channels on TikTok.

Sure. And it's going to be your nephews and they're like, what's this prank on Uncle James? What's this? Hey, James, hey, James, you see the Eternals trailer? And you're like, ah, and you have a heart attack. That's right. Do they say I'm so cringe because of my heart attack?

Yeah, yeah. Oh, look at this guy. Dude, he's a weak heart. It's so cringe. I'm embarrassed. Oh, look at this guy. Dude, his weak heart. It's so cringe. I'm embarrassed. Oh, is that coming back? I don't know. So we don't really know what the storyline there is going to be,

but just a few more tidbits to be like. We love movies. Get back here. Get back in the cinema. Get back here. You know what you did. You left the cinemas for even a moment. That's too long. Get back here. You know what you did. You left the cinemas for even a moment. That's too long.

Get back here. These will never go on Disney+. Do you love the new Venom trailer? Venom, get ready for a piping hot slice of carnage. Here it comes. Is that the subtitle now? That's what it is. Great.

It's just a couple of, it's the original odd couple, isn't it? Just a couple of. Is that what we were hoping for? Because that's what we're getting and I'm kind of okay with it. Yeah. Well, that's what worked for me about the first movie. And now we've got a couple of gooey guys just coming at each other, which was also the last movie.

The original gooey couple. Yes, that's right. One's neat and one's messy, but they're both equally gooey. Yeah, that's true. They both wallow in the same goo. Yeah. One of them is the goo. One of them is the goo. One of them's the goo, yeah.

I meant in terms of like Carnage and Venom because they're both gooey guys. Oh, I see, right. Toxin and Venom maybe in the last one? Oh, that's right. At the very least, this one is an improvement on the previous one, whether you like the last one or not. I don't. This one is definitively an improvement because one of the guys is black

and one of the guys is red. Exactly. And you can tell them apart in a darkened action sequence. So that's something, isn't it? Yeah, in a big splodgy, splodge fest. A couple of gooey guys. A couple of gooey guys having a make and a run at it. You know what I mean?

Andy Serkis is directing this one. And I've said this before, but I like his version of The Jungle Book. That's right. People don't or maybe haven't seen it, but I quite like it. And you were like, if only it were gooier. Yeah, that's what I said to myself as I was watching that movie. Baloo, more like bagoo. Galoo.

Galoo. Perfect. Yeah, that comes out, I want to say July, but I also don't want to commit to a date. Kind of like my bloody wedding. Am I right, Mason? Kind of like bloody getting married. Am I right? No, you wanted to get married, I'm pretty sure.

I did, and then I did get married. I am married, so it already happened. Like a bloody, I couldn't get out of it bloody. She got me in a bloody, wearing a bloody dog collar. Do you know what I mean, mate? Yeah. I'm one of those guys. I'm that guy now. Bloody ball and chain. Look at this.

You've switched over. Look at this person I've committed my life to who I openly hate. What do you think of that, Is that why you're wearing that t-shirt that says I hate my wife? Yes.

All right, now that'll do it. Great stuff. Endless source of comedy, which I appreciate. Yeah. I love meeting guys who hate their wife

or vice versa. Happens all the time. It's crazy. Anyway, go on. All right. There we go. What were we talking about? I'm sure. Anyway, yeah. Venom. It's crazy. Anyway, go on. All right. There we go. What were we talking about? I forgot.

Anyway, yeah, Venom. Let's have some carnage. Yes, please. If we're ready for it. But again, it's like there's no Spider-Man. Everyone's a gooey guy. Sure. I don't know.

I don't know. Venom, everyone's a gooey guy? Yeah. Because it's like that thing of like Iron Man fights another Iron Man. It sure is, yeah. You know what I mean? It's kind of not very compelling. So you would prefer that Venom fought like the least gooey guy there is?

Yeah. A Skellington? Or a man made of sand. But I can't think of anybody in the Spider-Man universe who would fit that particular description. Yeah, but also that would be the worst combination. Why? A gooey guy and a man made of sand?

Yes. That's why the worst combination. Why? A gooey guy and a man made of sand? Yes. That's why I like it. Them just rolling down the streets of New York, just tumbling down a flight of stairs and stopping somewhere in the middle because they've stuck to it. I'm pretty sure it's set in a different city. San Francisco? Maybe or it isn't.

There's a lot of hills, so it's probably San Francisco. Yeah, there you go. Great stuff. Did you see there was a title card of Spider-Man, next Spider-Man, and we're at Hints of the Multiverse because there's like a crack or whatever. No, I didn't see it. It's like, that trailer should be coming up in the next couple of weeks,

I'd imagine. Probably around Black Widow, maybe a bit before. So look forward to that. But speaking of Spider-Man, comicbook.com spoke to Tyrese Gibson and they said- He's Roman from the Fast and Furious movies. And they said, Morbius, you're in Morbius. You're Michael Morbius's friend or something.

Is it in the MCU? And he was like, yes. And then Sony came out and said, no. GameSpot spoke to him and said, confirm that Morbius is part of Sony Pictures' universe of Marvel characters and not in the MCU. Because also we've seen in the Morbius trailer. Sorry? Sony Pictures' universe of Marvel movies.

Yes. Spum. Spum is what we're calling it. We did it, folks. We finally got a name for it and it's Spum. Get it trending, folks. Hashtag Spum. All caps.

All caps. All caps. Don't forget the all caps. But in the Morbius trailer, we see the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man and whatever. And then is it also, which hints it's in that universe. Yes. But also, don't we see Adrian Toomes? The vulture, we do. Yeah. So I don't, I mean, they're going to merge. It doesn that universe. Yes. But also, don't we see Adrian Toomes? The vulture, we do, yeah.

So I don't, I mean, they're going to merge. It doesn't matter. But they're going to merge them all over in a movie. Honestly, and I think maybe we said this at the time, I honestly think they just went Spider-Man. They did a Google image search for Spider-Man. It was the first result. And then they just put it in the movie.

I'll be right. There you go. We'll find out when the first, not first, when the second movie in the Spum universe. No, it's just called Spum. Oh, yeah, because it's got universe in it. Yeah. You're right.

This is in an LP gas situation. This is in an ATM machine situation. You're right. Absolutely right. Spum, get it right, folks. I mean, this will get traction if we all get it right. So you say there's big things on the horizon for Spum. It's coming in.

Yeah. It's coming in hot. Spum's coming at you. So, yeah, but speaking of deals, Mason, this is also via The Hollywood Reporter. Kevin Feige spoke about the huge multi-picture deals that Marvelites used to be sold into. Do you know what I mean?

What do you mean Marvelites? People in movies. Okay, people in movies. When they're on movie. When they're on movie, I can understand. Really, what we want are people that come in, are excited to be in the universe, are excited at the opportunity to do more things

as opposed to being locked into contractual obligations, which I think is a good way to do it. It's like how many do you want to do? What do you want to be in this as a future? It's like Weet-Bix. You ask people how many they want to do. And then you put extra ones in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You betray them. Look, if you're going to eat Weet-Bix. Then they're forced into eating too many Weet-Bix. If you're going to eat Weet-Bix or Vita-Brit, see how you do it. You do it two at a time because I like them crunchy. Some people put them in the microwave. What's wrong with you? It's just a bowl of mush.

You know what I mean? Yeah. Warm milk and mush. Some people just put the dry box, the entire box in the microwave. Are you a dry wheat pick man? No. Some people do that? No.

They'll put a peanut butter on a wheat pick and eat it dry? Well, that's not dry, is it? Well, yeah, but it's, I mean. It's certainly viscous, isn't it? Of the condiments. It's certainly got more traction if you're putting peanut butter on it. But of the condiments, peanut butter is one of the drier ones, I would say. Yeah, I agree.

Sure. If I had to. But it's dry-osity. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not as dry as a wheat pick. Very true. Speaking of being locked into movies, Hugh Jackman, he posted a picture of a Boss Logic-styled Wolverine poster,

and then next to that an image with him and Kevin Feige. What does it mean? But it's an old image, right? Yes. Okay. But why would he do that? Is it a Doctor Strange cameo situation because, you know, multiverse and such?

Yeah, maybe, yeah. Is it he's coming back for Wolverine? I'm kind of torn because I like him a lot as Wolverine, but also I kind of want them to redo the X-Men clean slate. Yeah, for sure. So I kind of hope it's like a multiverse thing, but I don't know. What do you reckon? Yeah, I reckon probably multiverse cameo.

He's addicted to getting buff. Maybe that's what it is, yeah. That's what's going on. Yeah. I mean, we all are. We all are in this room, aren't we? Yeah. Yeah, we all are.

So they brought him back and they're like, he's Wolverine again and not redoing. We're all about healthy in this room. I didn't drink a violet crumble honeycomb flavoured milk on the way over here. Oh, my God. Did it have the bits in it? No, it doesn't have bits in it. I don't know about that, man. I wouldn't drink it if it did have bits in it.

I want the crunch of like a milkshake. Okay, well, you could pour it on your Weet-Bix. Would I put it in the microwave? Yes. No, I wouldn't, Mason. You're not listening to me. I thought maybe with the addition of honeycomb you would put it in the microwave? Yes. No, I wouldn't, Mason. You're not listening to me. I thought maybe with the addition of honeycomb you would put it in the microwave. Hot honeycomb milk.

What are you, crazy? Yeah. Get out of here. Yeah. A pioneer is what I am. I guess you are. If someone wants to try that. Let us know.

Let us know. We might just miss it though because sometimes we get said things and I miss it. You might be like, I had 10 Weet-Bix and hot honeycomb milk. Could you please read this out in the podcast? We miss it. We miss it completely. Maybe don't do it. Yeah, don't do it.

Yeah. So I wouldn't mind seeing like because Old Man Logan crosses over with the young X-Men all the time. Yeah. So like if it's successful and he wanted to do it, he could come back and meet a different version of Wolverine. Oh, sure. Okay, yeah.

It's totally fine. Yeah. Anyway, whatever. That's how we should end all news items. Anyway, whatever. These segues are good, aren't they? They really are. Speaking of good.

Here's a fun fact for you, James. I learned this week. The upcoming Spider-Man No Way Home is coming out in Australia nine days after everywhere else. That's not fun. I know. What do you mean? I'm going to throw my phone in the ocean and buy another one nine days later.

What are you saying? Is that true? Apparently. They're doing a Boxing Day release, aren't they? Maybe. Is that what's happening here? I think it might be, yeah. I'm going to fucking lose my mind, Mason.

Are you fucking serious? That's what I read on the internet. I fucking hate when they do that. I thought they stopped doing this. They used to do it when we were kids, and then they went to like, Australia became day before. We had the power in our hands, James. Sony sometimes releases them a week before here. It's going to be after.

Fuck. That's awful news. It's awful news. I can't keep away from that. All right. It's going to be everywhere. Yeah. Shit.

Maybe they'll have an early screening and we can get in then. Yeah, okay. We can only hope. Who can I murder? Sorry, that's unrelated. Just thinking about that. He's just writing it on the chalkboard. That's terrible.

Got to get kale. Got to find someone to murder. That's terrible news. Anyways, let's talk about the Spider-Man No Way Home trailer. Let's do it. Big drop for this week. Do you think, okay, here's talk about the Spider-Man No Way Home trailer. Let's do it. Big drop for this week. Do you think, okay, here's a question for you. Do you think Doc Ock has turned his life around in some way?

So maybe he's like he's going to be the new dad. Maybe he's new dad. He's new Tony Stark dad. Maybe Doctor Strange lets Peter down as new dad quite early on in the series and then Doctor Octopus becomes new new dad. Some people didn't like the joke. They were like, that was a serious joke. Oh, because its name's Otto Octavius.

I mean, my qualm of that is like they did that joke already. They did that Doctor Strange joke already. And if they were going to reuse a joke, they should have done the rubber band wrap around the money joke. You should have been like, has anybody seen a roller 20s around a rubber band? Because I found the rubber band around my balls, Peter. Wow.

Yeah. That's rude. Yeah, yeah. What I think is interesting, aside from the fact that he put a rubber band with $20 bills around his balls. Just the rubber band. Just the rubber band. Okay.

They've lost them. The money's gone. You're right. Okay, I don't like that I don't like how he's done that He would have saved that up as a sweet burn If they are taking them out of their timelines When they're being killed Inflation you're talking about

The joke would have to be hundreds Yes, that's a good point Or Bitcoin Did anybody drop some Bitcoin wrapped in a rubber band Some Bitcoin wall. Did anybody drop some Bitcoin wrapped in a rubber band? Some Bitcoin wallets. Yes. But Doc Ock is the... Did anybody drop a series of NFTs that are gorillas wearing different hats

wrapped in a rubber band? Because they found the rubber band around my balls. Let's get into it, Mason. All right, let's do it. Also, happy October, everybody. Spookiest time of the year. I'm not bloody just talking about tax it, Mason. All right, let's do it. Also, happy October, everybody. Spookiest time of the year. I'm not bloody just talking about tax time, everyone. You did it, everyone.

I'm back. Wham, wham, wham. You made that joke. That's right. Tis the season for the joke of the tax time joke. It's the kind of tax time joke you'll only get from Mr. Sunday content. It's true. It's true.

We're approaching the spookiest time of the year, everybody. I'm not just talking about bloody tax time because for Caravan of Garbage, we like to pick a topic that's indicative of the season. That's right. It's the spookiest time of the year and I'm not talking about bloody tax time, Mason. It's the spookiest season of the year and I'm not talking about bloody tax time, Mason.

Hello, everyone. It's the spookiest time of year and I'm not talking about bloody tax time, am I? I'm talking about Halloween. It's the spookiest time of year, everybody. I'm not just talking about tax time. Damn it. It's the spookiest time of year, everybody. I'm not just talking about bloody tax time.

Am I, Mason? No. In fact, I don't think you've ever talked about tax time. Listen, this week, the spookiest time of the year, Am I Mason? No. In fact, I don't think you've ever talked about tax time. Listen, this week, the spookiest time of the year. And I'm not talking about bloody tax time. Thank you. I appreciate that. Is that really the first time you've heard me say that?

No. This week leading up to Halloween, the spookiest time of the year, and I'm not just talking about, here he is. He's gearing up. Halloween? I am actually. I am talking about Halloween this he is. He's gearing up. Halloween? I am, actually. I am talking about Halloween this time. That's great.

Welcome, everybody, to the spookiest time of the year. And I'm not just talking about bloody tax time, because this week... You've done it again. No, no, James. Pause. Pause for once in your life and just drink in the adulation you've done. In fact, you can see those balloons falling from the sky. It's the one millionth time you've done that joke.

Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of The Weekly Planet where we talk movies and comics and TV shows. And this week, because it's the spookiest time of the year and I'm not just talking about tax time, Mason. Let me tell you this, James. Let me tell you this, James. Yesterday I was at home and the TV on. I was watching YouTube and you go,

it's because it's the spookiest time of year and I'm not just talking about tax time. And I went, I've got to do my tax return. We've got a few emails about people who are like, it's tax time. It worked. Your stupid joke that you never stopped doing. It's good stuff. No, that's jokes.

That's jokes. Hey, speaking of jokes, are you the kind of person who you wake up in the middle of the night and you go what a great idea and then you write it down and then you wake up the next morning you're like what is this i used to be that yes now i don't wake until somebody's screaming at me you know what i mean all my blood is full those are my decisions like i don't wake naturally right anymore well what i what what what yeah i used to be okay what, what I, I think I know a lot of people who are like that. Primarily the one that I do is I wake up and I think of something that I think is like

good or interesting or whatever. Yeah. And then I simply go, well, that is so interesting. What I've thought of is so interesting. There's not even any need to write it down. Yeah. Because I'll remember it in the morning and then I wake up and I go, did I have an interesting thought? Yeah.

And I didn't. But this one I wrote. Oh, here we go. Wow. I thought you'd be interested in this. It's a full thought as well because sometimes. So you remember this in the morning or in the moment? No, I wrote this down.

I made a change in my lifestyle, which I think is for the better. Sick. This one, it's a full thought because normally it's just like, you know, like dog saxophone or whatever. You're like, what is? Wait, is the dog a saxophone or is the dog playing the saxophone? Well, I don't know. I'd like to see it.

Anyway, this is the full thought. Do you think when Johnny Mnemonic's mum is mad at him, she calls him Jonathan Mnemonic-than? And then underneath there's a space and then I've written, yeah, exclamation point. Where did you even think you'd use that? I don't know. I mean, here, I guess.

Yes, yeah. This is what this bit is for. And I'm like, you know what? In the morning, I'm like, still holds up. That's pretty good. Jonathan Mnemonic-thin. When are you going to get a real job? My job is putting data in my brain.

Calivanting about with 80 gigabytes of contraband data in your head. And he's like, Mom, that is a real job. And it's 160 gigabytes of data because I put in a memory doubler. God. He did put in a memory doubler, didn't he? Yeah. Oh, my goodness. Anyway, good times.

Anyway, we're going to be doubling our, we have to double our memories this week, Mason, with all the hot topics coming our way. Delays but not dismays, Mason, our famous segment of the show where I just rattle off a list of things that have been delayed. It's not all dismays, though. I've actually got a big bit of good news at the end of this. Something's been moved up, which you're excited for.

A lot of people sent in sea shanty themed theme music for it. And? And I've got one here. Here we go. No, that's just the theme of Becca. We were talking about Becca for 20 minutes before the show. Yep. And then I was surprised that Cheers ended in 93 and Becca started in 98

and I always assumed that there was a larger gap between those two things. Yeah, yeah. It's crazy. It's crazy stuff. Anyway, delays but not displays. Yeah, we watched a lot of Becca in the 90s and early 2000s, which was 10 years ago. So Black Widow was delayed, but it now has a definitive date

of July 9th, including a day and date release on Disney+, which is doing the additional fee thing as well, which I think obviously the Raya and the Last Dragon model, that worked. So this is what they're doing. They're also doing that for Cruella on May 28th. What is that? That's the Cruella.

Oh, Cruella, Cruella developer. It's the Joker, but 101 Dalmatians. And Luca is the next, I think it's Pixar, yeah, is going straight to Disney Plus on June 18th the way that Soul is. But it might not be Pixar, but I'm pretty sure it's Pixar. It's a boy and he's Italian, but he's also a merman. Oh, I vaguely remember that, yeah. You vaguely remember it, yeah.

I feel like this particular industry, your Pixar's, your DreamWorks, et cetera, have gone too deep into we'll just name our movie about a boy who's a mermaid or whatever. There's already a movie called About a Boy. Well, that's true. But now there's too many. I agree. I'm like, what's this one?

Oh, he's the Merman boy. There's too many of them. How many Merman boy movies are there really? I mean, there's that one, but I mean all like the movies that are just like it's. Oh, like the name of the person. Yeah, right. It's Frank Up. Yep.

I tried to think of one, but all I could think of was Captain Corelli's Mandolin. That's not a Pixar movie. I had a conversation about that. That would be about the mandolin, probably. I had a conversation about that literally yesterday, a movie I've never seen or thought about. It's come up twice in two days. Is Nicolas Cage in it?

I think he is. We had this conversation. We also had the conversation of is he supposed to be Italian in that or not? And I'm like, I assume that he was like an American stationed over there or something. But I don't know. If you know, let us know. Email in.

Let us know. So because there's other Disney properties which this has affected. I just remember the haunting melody of the mandolin itself. Let's drink it in. It's good, isn't it? Oh, my God. That's going to get the video version demonetised. Worth it.

Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. We'll put it in every week. Free guy. No amount of money is what I'm saying, Mason. I will not compromise on this. The joy in the room and nowhere else. That's what we do this for.

The King's Man, December 22nd. God. Deep Water. I don't know what that is. Let me check that. Just the concept of it. Oh, no. It's being pushed back.

So sweep your life, folks. You'll be fine. And then Death on the Nile is February of next year. I'm just going to check what Deep Water is. There's a miniseries. I recently rewatched Murder on the Iron Express because it's on Star. Oh, yeah? And?

Boy, Kenneth Branagh's got a heck of a moustache in that movie. Doesn't he? Doesn't he, Josh? It's like a double m I think. Oh, yeah. And? Boy, Kenneth Branagh's got a heck of a moustache in that movie. Doesn't he? Doesn't he, Josh? It's like a double moustache. It's incredible. What does Dave Warnocki think about that movie and that performance? Good question. Because he's a big Poirot fan.

That's true, yeah. Yeah. Let's ask him. Let's ask him. I'll ask him right now, in fact. Yeah, can you just get him on the phone? Okay, hang on. Just bring him up, yeah.

I'm just going to. Hey, Dave, what do you reckon about Murder on the Air on Express, Dave? Yeah. Hey, Dave, what do you reckon about Murder on the Air on Express, Dave? He's loving it, I think. I'll message him, I'll say. There's time codes if you do want to skip it. If you want to skip all of this, you should put in a time code that we definitely stopped doing Becker audio drops. But I said good news.

I promised you good news. You did. It's true. Because Spiral, the Saw sequel reboot, has moved up one week to the 14th of April or May, might be May, kicking off the summer movie season. That's a kick. That's the sound of a kick.

Double kick. Yeah, you know what is the sound of a kick, though? I'm writing a kick. Double kick. Yeah, you know what is the sound of a kick, though? I'm writing a message. Ah! Bow! Bow-bow-bow-bow! Bow-boom-boom! Bow-boom-boom!

Bow-boom-boom! I've got three more trailers to talk about, Mason. Okay, go on. The Tomorrow War. Yep. Which is the one where Chris Pratt has to go into the future because of the multi-generational war. He has to do an Edge of Tomorrow show.

That's right. More or less. And then there's the movie Infinite where Mark Wahlberg is a Highlander man. He's a Highlander, but he seems to be a reincarnated Highlander man as opposed to an immortal Highlander man. What do you mean I'm a Highlander man? What are you even talking about? Is that about the Highlander pass?

Is that what she's saying? I've never even held a sword up and then lightning hit it. I've never done that. I haven't even seen Highlander. So the opening scene is we enter a room. Chiwetel Ejiofor enters this room. Mark Wahlberg's in it. He can't escape.

And then Chiwetel Ejiofor's like, can you remember any of these things on the table? Nah, man. I can't remember. How would I remember a rope? Never even looked at a rope. Right? Yeah. But then, but Chiwetel Ejiofor is like,

every time you don't remember a thing, I'm going to rush and roulette you. Yeah. What if he shot him? Is he just going to wait 40 years for the guy to be reborn again? Yeah, he'll come back. He's probably done it so many times. Yeah, I guess. But I mean, surely there's some, like,

it would be nice if there was some time pressure here. Yeah, sure. So what is going on? He's after a thing, a magic amulet probably. Nice. Do you think? Yeah, maybe. Yeah. what about a tuxedo that gives you kung fu powers maybe they're after that is it technology or is it magic or is it magic that's no technology that's indistinguishable from magic i think it's probably just magic great that sounds really good ever seen a magic tuxedo this will never fit over my biceps what are you guys even talking about my

god i fit over my biceps i guess it is magic i talking about? Oh my god, a fit over my biceps. I guess it is magic. I like how, if you go back, our first sentence of Mark Wahl impression, probably somewhat accurate. The further along we go, the weirder and worse it gets. Doesn't make any sense. Oh, I should also mention that we are going to be talking about A Quiet Place 2. I didn't mention that, but it's in the title.

But my wife Claire will be stopping by, won't she, Mason? That's right. To talk about A Quiet Place. Maybe she's't mention that, but it's in the title. But my wife Claire will be stopping by, won't she, Mason? That's right. To talk about A Quiet Place. Maybe she's here right now, but she's practising being in The Quiet Place. She's not here. But there was a joke about how that movie is also about being quiet. Yeah. Largely. And I think that sort of represents how we would do in the universe of A Quiet Place.

Your wife would be being very, very quiet and we would just be talking about old trailers we watched before the aliens crashed to Earth and began slaughtering everybody who talks. And we'd be like, I remember when Mark Wahlberg was going to be in, like at least one of us would die doing a bad Mark Wahlberg impression. Hey, what's that running towards me? Hey, I'm drinking a Budweiser.

And then I'm killed. This wasn't worth it, this joke I'm doing. But you've got to keep people's spirits up, you know what I mean? Exactly, exactly. Trailers, what up, Mason? Your segment. Nice. I've modernised it.

Yeah, I like how you've – yeah, this is very good actually, yeah. Trailers, what up? Yeah, yeah. Trailers on fleek? Sure. Yeah, yeah. Trailers not churgie. I don't know what that is.

It's like slightly off-trend. Churgie? I don't want that. Churgie. So I've got a few. Trailer's not churgy. What's that? I don't know what that is. It's like slightly off trend. Churgy? I don't want that. Churgy. We're never that. No. We've got House of Gucci, which looks very interesting. Everyone in the Gucci family.

Oh, trailer's so Gucci. Very good. New segment. I love it. Yeah. Is everyone in that family awful? I think so, yeah. Yeah.

And maybe trying to murder each other? Seems that way. Yeah. How do you feel that Jared Leto is, what's his face, Gucci? I love my old man makeup. It's my favorite thing. They could have got a real old man. A lot of people this week were like, get Paul Giamatti.

Perfect. Good point. Right? He's doing Jungle Cruise. He couldn't do it. It's true. It's a great point. I also love the backhanded tweets that are like,

this is a razor of old, ugly bald men. Get Paul Giamatti in. Paul Giamatti's scrolling. He's like, this is a razor of old, ugly bald men. Get Paul Giamatti in. Paul Giamatti's scrolling. He's like, oh, what? You could have got the ugliest man in Hollywood, Paul Giamatti. That's right. He's been ugly for years. Right?

I think he looks like a normal man. I also think that. I mean, it's just maybe he's not traditionally Hollywood beauty standards. Maybe he's not Jon Hamm. Fucking so what? You're right. If you're listening to this, you're not fucking Jon Hamm either. Get off his back.

Jon Hamm's tooting and he's like, oh, yeah. You know what listening to this, you're not fucking Jon Hamm either. Get off his back. Jon Hamm's tuning in. He's like, oh, yeah. You're not what you used to be, Hamm. Oh, no way. Mad Men, more like Bad Men. Fucking got you. Stop listening, Jon Hamm. Get out of here.

He's so great. He is pretty great. I like him. Also very funny. But, of course, the big trailer that both of us want to talk about for slightly longer than the other trailers is Ghostbusters. Afterlife. Whatever the new one's called.

How did you feel? Ghostbusters, no jokes, please. No jokes in this movie. Thank you. No jokes busters. Wait, would that mean there would be jokes because they're busting no jokes? No jokes busters because they're going to a party and they're like, there's no jokes here. We're all under arrest. Maybe they should go to a party and they're like, there's no jokes here.

We're all under arrest. Maybe they should go to a party supply shop and just level it. Yeah, why not? I don't know. Anyway, you're a primo Ghostbusters fan. It's one of your favourite movies. You love everything about it. You love the sequel.

You love the video game sequel. You love the rebooted whatever that was. I think you loved that one, didn't you? I loved the real Ghostbusters. You loved the other Ghostbusters.. I think you loved that one, didn't you? I loved the real Ghostbusters. You loved the other Ghostbusters. The other Ghostbusters with the haunted car. I loved that. And the gorilla, maybe. What do you think of this trailer? Did it take you back to Ghostbusters?

Well, it certainly did its best to take us back to Ghostbusters because it did have it was like, remember the Helldogs? Remember those? They're back, baby. Remember different monsters? Remember Slimer? Remember the, whatever, the ghost Titanic people? I don't know were they in it no remember when the titanic arrived or something maybe that was in two shut up mason listen okay but um i mean first of all the most interesting thing for me was that the trailer uh like the reveal at the end that we

got we got dan akron as i, that's probably people already knew that, but we got Dan Aykroyd as Ray Stantz, is that on the version on YouTube it immediately started adding those like, hey, if you like this video, you'll be interested in this video. So like as soon as he's like, hey, we're close, whatever, just all these bonus things started. Like there was not even a fraction of a second for me to sit with this revelation and they're just like, you want other trailers?

Here's a screen full of other trailers. Click the trailers, you idiots. I'm like, all right, steady on. Did you click them all? Yeah, I clicked them all. There you go. Because I'm an idiot. Yeah, it's free service though.

That's true. Technically, Mason, you pay through it either through YouTube Red or the ads that you watch. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, just saying. Or somebody you do a podcast with like left their wallet on the table one time and you took their credit card out and you put it there. Is that true?

Yeah. Well, I hope you've told that person what's been going on. Like you admitted fault. Maybe you repaid them some of the money. Not some of it, all of it with interest. So some of the money you're saying? No. You reckon a person would be okay with some of the money?

I think so. I think they'd probably feel that was a pretty dishonest apology if I'm honest. Yeah, that's what I think. Anyway, what I'm saying is I'd like all my money back, please. My pockets were full and I put my wallet on the table. Well, what do you do? Yeah, right. If it's on the table, it's literally on the table.

That is very true. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Also, Ray's got a tattoo. What's the tattoo say? You can't see it. Crystal Skull. I mean, I probably says that. I couldn't tell because of all the pop-ups that happened.

But if I had to guess, I think it's illegible. Like I turned the quality up all the way. But if I had to guess, there's a scene from the first movie. Where a ghost sucks his dick? Yeah. So what do you think this is? That's right. What would the tattoo say?

I don't know. I think it would be a picture or it would say a ghost sucked my dick. FYI. FYI, yeah. Anyway, let's talk about Space Jam and New Legacy. We weren't going to. Yeah. You sent me some clips this week.

Did I? No, I sent you Space Jam clips. It's true. Yeah, you've been sending me a series of Space Jam clips. Did we, and I think there's obviously the granny does the. Does a rap. No, the granny does the Matrix. Oh, does a Matrix.

Does the Matrix, which I think we predicted, but you maintain we the secreted into existence. We made it manifest by thinking too much about it. I don't know whether we said it on the show or we just thought it or we think we invented it. But, yeah, the granny does the matrix trinity kick, and she does. They put it in there.

If we did that, can you please let us know if we actually said this on the show? If we said that, yeah. Because that – I mean, obviously they didn't hear this and then put it in. No, but it's a case of I would say parallel thought, but also a case of on this podcast, what we do is some information goes into our brain and then we just say the first thing that comes to mind

and that's what they've done. Yeah. Swappenheimer. These people with $100 million to burn have just done the first thing they could think of. They're like, should we think any harder about this? No. I didn't predict that Speedy Gonzalez was going to be there.

No, you didn't predict that. That's true. What a team up. Second pass. There we go. And then you sent me another clip of Porky Pig doing a rap. Where the comments are turned off. Yeah, the comments have been turned off.

And fair enough. Here's what I think. I think that I've gone to sleep one day and Warner Brothers has put a device in my brain that's read my thoughts and built a movie filled with everything that I don't like. They've specifically gone, what are his least favourite things? Oh, a comedy cartoon rap?

Yeah, put that in. Just a lazy Matrix, just the laziest Matrix cartoon mashup. Just throw it in. Who cares? No thought. This will make him upset. Yeah.

And has it? Yes. Ordinarily it wouldn't because I just wouldn't watch it, but I have to. This feels very Truman showy. They're like, let's get him. Let's get him and see how he reacts in public. I hate it. I hate it.

I love it. And you were like, oh, the rap was written by this guy. And I'm like, who? I had to look it up. I don't know who that guy is. What was his name? Like Murph or something? I can't remember.

I'll look it. I'll find it. But they do the full rap, but it's not great, is it? No. Heck of a thing. Heck of a fucking thing, mate. Heck of a thing. Speaking of of some guy did you see the trailer for he's all that the gender swaps okay is that because the original she's all that girl

is in it is she because she's the mum is she reprising her role as someone who's all that oh that's a great question isn't it i love questions like like maybe there's a scene like at the it goes to like the high school dance or whatever they had at the end of the movie and she's there she's there to like chaperone and she's like you know this exact same thing happened to me but gender swapped are you fucking woke as hell are you she's all thatting this guy this poor boy because i got she's all thatted like years ago and it messed me up messed me up for quite some time i don't think it is uh but maybe it doesn't matter. I mean, we'll

know whether she's married to Freddie Prinze Jr. That's true if he's in it, right? Yeah. But also, maybe they just broke up, because that's usually what happens when you date someone in high school. You just break up. That's life, man. Not everybody. If you didn't, I'm happy for you. But anyway, this is the gender swap version, so there's a

cool, popular girl, and she's like, I'm gonna for you. But anyway, this is the gender swap version. So there's a cool popular girl and she's like, I'm going to get the worst loser in school and I'm going to turn him into the prom king or whatever. And it's like, I'll get that very handsome man with washboard abs. Yeah, exactly. That absolute loser over there. I'll turn him into something. Who loves horses.

Loves horses. Yeah. Wow. How did she do it? I think she took his hat off. She did take his hat off. I think he might have had a haircut or his mullet was attached to the hat. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And then it's like, oh. The reverse Dickie Nees. Exactly. Speaking of, did you hear that? Hayate Saturday is coming back. Thank God. Speaking of things I saw in the paper at my parents' house. But they won't do it at Channel 9.

We talk too much about Hayate Saturday. We do. It's a horrible show and it was always a horrible show. But there was only like four channels when we were children so you didn't have any choice. And it was always on. It was always on. Yeah.

You'd think that because it was called Hey Hey Saturday, it would be limited to Saturday, but it wasn't for some reason. And there were always best Of compilations on. Yeah. Anyway, TV Line are reporting that Ms Marvel, the TV series. Pluck-a-ducks. He gets the call and he goes out to his garage and he breaks out that duck bicycle thing that spins the ducks.

Hello, old friend yeah it's like Vin Diesel from my previous life yeah yeah it's like Vin Diesel coming across his old charger or whatever

but it's like a duck with his duck bicycle nobody knows this we talk about it too much we gotta stop talking about it we talk about it like we're fond of it but it was bad

and racist I talk about it because it was just everywhere. It's so much of my childhood was this stupid fucking show. If you were like, hey, maybe talk about something else that happened in your childhood. I can't remember anything else that happened in my childhood. I can just remember Hey Hey at Saturday compilations. It's all I've got, all right? Yeah. So I don't know if you saw this this week, though.

I suspect that you did because you've always got your pulse on hot topics. It's true. Sometimes when there's a hot topic in the news, you might message me and be like, did you see this hot topic? Did you see this hot topic? It's hot stuff, James. James.

James, text me back, James. Just a string of messages. Then it's a voicemail. You've got several missed calls. Then it's a voice memo. You'll text me a voice memo. One of those like Bitmoji faces and I'm like, James, you see this thing?

You seen it? Anyway, this is a lot of buildup to something that I probably haven't seen. But go ahead. Netflix, it seems, is moving into the gaming space. I did see that briefly, yes. Okay, yeah, I know. I got your messages.

So they hired. James, you see this? You should call it Game Flicks. Net games. Net games. James, I'm workshopping in the texts. This is how it goes. Pick the best one and I'll say that quip when we record it.

Pretend it's off the top of my head. But all these jokes, a little behind the scenes, everything I say on this that is technically a joke, it's just me texting you hundreds of times during the week. Is the game exclusively a game where you have to alter the volume of a TV show on Netflix? I'd love that. It's just you just pick a show on Netflix and then there's

like an animated neighbour who appears in the corner of the screen and is like, it's too loud. So you have to turn it down and it's like, great job, great combo. And you finish the series and then it tells you, oh, no, this show is actually cancelled. They did one season and they cancelled this. Yeah, they cancelled it. The show that you didn't like that much is gone.

That's right, yeah, yeah. It's cancelled. And then you have to test your disappointment. You have to hammer the buttons and there's a little anime, there's an avatar of you and you hammer the button and the disappointment goes up. You smash through your television. These are really good jokes and I'm glad we workshopped them.

I'm glad too. Film chief over at Netflix as well, Scott Stuber, acknowledged also that. Any relation? To Stuber the movie. The movie Stuber. Yeah, it is. They're first cousins.

Yep, that's right. Which is really exciting. Yeah, it'd be great for family reunions, you know. You seen that movie? No. It's all right. Yeah, I know. I've heard it's all right.

It's all you need. It's all you need in your life. Yeah, I think that's all right. You know, it's got some moments. He acknowledged in an interview that their movies are not very good. He said you have to be more. Excuse me. Yeah, He said you have to be more consistent at making these movies more culturally relevant and putting them in the zeitgeist, among other quotes and whatever.

I mean, he said, you know, obviously it's a free service so you can't expect too much, but. Mason. Yes. Yes, James. Mason, Mason, Mason. He also said they're going to go after Christopher Nolan. They're going to go right after him? They're going to go right after him?

They're going to kill him. What? That's what he said. This is a candid interview. He hated the movie Tenet. He said it was supposed to revolutionise cinema and bring people back, but it didn't, and now the Delta variant is here, and he's like, I'm going to kill him.

I'm going to go out and I'm going to kill him. He says that he's going to bring people back to cinema, but I don't work in cinema. I work in Netflix. It's the opposite of cinema, so I'm going to kill him. I'm going to kill him. He says that he's going to bring people back to cinema. But I don't work in cinema. I work in Netflix. It's the opposite of cinema. So I'm going to kill him. I'm going to kill this guy. And you can quote me on that.

Hey, can we cut this out of the interview? No? It's too late, is it? You're reading this in print. This is on a live stream on Netflix. So he said, he's an incredible filmmaker. I'm going to do everything I can. Kill him.

Yes. Which I think is a good strategy also because he's thinking of leaving Warner Brothers because of what they did with the HBO stuff. He's like, this is bullshit and I don't think I'll work with them again. And Netflix is like, hey, Chris, we will definitely give you a cinema release for your next movie. Yeah. We've hired out a cinema.

We've hired one out. One screen. The magic of cinema. Yep. We're going to get you in there. Then we're going to burn it down in glorious bastard style. We're going to get Eli Roth to run in with a machine gun. He's going to shoot you and the whole thing's going to burn down.

It's an homage. Are you in? Because it's an homage. So, look, the thing is you'd have to give this. If I was Christopher Nolan or I was courting Christopher Nolan, let's say, maybe. Which is it? Which one are you in this?

I'm courting Christopher Nolan. In this absurd play you've invented. You're both people, are you? I can play. I've got rage. I can do dual roles. Yes, you could. That's true. So I would give him like. You can do dual roles. Yes, you could. It's true.

So I would give him like. You could do a TikTok video where you come in from different sides. Yeah, we're going from different sides. Oh, hello. It's me. That's right. He's wearing a tie. Maybe I'm wearing a similar suit.

No, you're wearing a T-shirt that says Netflix on it. You're wearing a black T-shirt that's got Netflix on it. It's been like iron on printed onto your T-shirt. Excellent. It's crooked. It's askew. Or maybe it's just my chest. I don on it. It's been like iron-on printed onto your T-shirt. Excellent. It's crooked. It's askew. Or maybe it's just my chest. I don't know.

That's right. Anyway, I'd give him like the budget that he wanted, $200, whatever it is, and then I'd also guarantee that cinematic window, which is unusual for Netflix, but you'd have to. You couldn't get him by being like, you're going to make a big streaming movie. You couldn't get him in with that.

And then I'd say, we tricked you. We're going to burn the cinema down. Like we said earlier. And you signed it, so you have to go. That's right. We want a way to go. Isn't that the way you'd want to go, Christopher Nolan? Cinema. We're going to drop the Hollywood sign on you.

One letter at a time. That's right. You're going to start at the H and you're going to run. We're going to drop the letters in order. We'll see if we can catch you. I reckon they'd get him by Hollywood. I think so. I mean, in those shoes that he wears, those formal dress shoes,

you get him easy, mate. Yeah. And I think also to get people to sign up for Netflix, you'd have a shorter release window and you'd be like can you make like a 30 minute primer or something but it's exclusive to netflix and that way you kind of you get people over for that it's kind of essential viewing if you know you go to the movie and you could be like we're playing with different like genres and trying out new technology and you can do whatever version of this you like i i think that's what I'd come at him with.

And a knife. You know what I would sell it as to consumers? I'd be like Christopher Nolan. Yes. And you can turn the subtitles on whenever you want. That's the bonus here. Do you think he'd like that? Yeah, he'd love it.

I don't think he would like it. No, he'd be like, my soundscapes are very complicated. Shut up, Christopher Nolan. I think you mean loud. They are loud. All right. You know, I just thought that I just took my jumper off. You know what I'd love to see?

It's a million degrees in here, Mason. Christopher Nolan, but they make him do all the dumb like snack wars and hot ones and all the. I could see him doing hot ones though. Yeah, right. Yeah. This is very hot. That's what he'd say.

This one's not as hot, I feel. Maybe I'm just desensitized at this point. Anyway, I hate this. Oh, no, da bomb. I'm actually not a fan of this show at all. I've never heard of it or you. I don't have a phone. I write everything down on a notepad.

Ooh, I have to try these hostess ding-dongs for snack wars. Never seen an episode. I'm sure it's amazing and incredible. Deadline are reporting that Amazon Studios are closing a deal on a live-action Mass Effect series. This makes sense to me. People are loving the TV show Arcane. People are tweeting us telling us watch the TV show Arcane.

It's on my list. I haven't watched it yet. I'm working my way through F is for Family, which I'll probably talk about a bit later, and some other stuff. But I do want to watch it, especially because people are like, this is genuinely great. And it's always nice when something's genuinely great. That's true.

Yeah. And I think they also announced Arcane Season 2, but it's not going to be like for a couple of years. Oh, right, right, right. Because this one was like five years in the making or something. Now Mass Effect. Yes. Now Mass Effect famously is a game.

Mass-tifer Effect, I think, was the first one. Oh, because the character's name is Mass-tifer. Mass-tifer. Like Christopher. Yeah. Mass-tifer Effectiveness. That's his name. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But his friends call it Mass Effect. But the question is, it gave it the... We need you, Mass Effect! The moon's going to crash into another moon! The second moon's just come out of nowhere. Probably because of the Mass Effect, which is a different thing, but it's very coincidental that your name is also...

Yeah, it's weird, isn't it? Just a fun coincidence. But it's famously a game where you can choose the appearance of your character and what have you. So who are they going to cast as Master for Effect? How about this? Brother and sister team.

Same name. Separate adventures. Nobody can get mad. Master for Master Fet. Yes, like Smurfette. Like Smurfette. That's right. Yeah, I guess you could do it like Smurfette. Like Smurfette, that's right. Yeah, I guess you could do it like that, you know.

You could switch it every episode or whatever. Oh, inexplicably, sure. Or deliberately gender change machine. Yeah, totally. The only way to get from one side of the ship to the other side of the ship is you have to go through a gender switch machine. It's like a teleporter except it switches your gender. Yeah, yeah, and sometimes you're a human fly. I've never played a single second of Master for effectiveness i played the first one anyways enough of this

thing neither of us know anything about at least you've played one of the games yeah wait so you're known as mr sunday yeah not mr sunday movies again i mean that's what people call me that's what they call me people call you that's what nobody calls me okay sure sure sure all right yeah i uh it's too late to change. So I'm just stuck with this thing. As I said that, I was even thinking, I hate that as I said it. What if you change your name to Mr. Sunday Content? On Twitter? Yeah, just everywhere.

Fuck it, I'll do it now. I just changed my – it's Halloween season, mate. So it could be time to be Mr. Pumpkin Movies again. No, I just changed it back from James Hale. Oh, right. Sure, sure, sure. All right. Well, it's time be Mr. Pumpkin Movies again. No, I just changed it back from James Helm. Oh, right. Sure, sure, sure. All right.

Well, it's time for Mr. Sunday Content. I did just change it to James Clever to people like, ugh, gross. Yeah, I don't like that either. How about this, James Content? James Content. Still, I've changed it to Mr. Whatever the thing is. Yeah, great. Okay, that's what we want. That's what we want to see.

Mr. Content Movies could have been better. No, I like Mr. to Mr. Whatever the thing is. Yeah, great. Okay, that's what we want. That's what we want to see. Mr. Content movies could have been better. No, I like Mr. Sunday content because it still has that day in it and people are like, what? You're right. What's the day got to do with anything? Well, the day today, Mason, is podcast day. And on podcast day, we like to do our podcast news. Do you want to know what's coming up in this news?

We carve the turkey. Yep, yep. And then podcast news. Exactly. Sorry, there's some works going in this news? We carve the turkey. Yep, yep. And then podcast news. Exactly. Sorry, there's some works going on in the neighbourhood, it turns out. Turns out some works. Can I tell my neighbours to shut up? Hey, shut up.

Hey, shut up. We're doing a podcast. Yeah. It's me, Mr Sunday Content. Don't you recognise me? And the guy will be like, I'm doing my own content. It's called bloody hard work. And I'll say, I'm going to murder you when you're asleep.

I know exactly where you are. I'll come get you whenever I want. I'll come over to this fence, I'll get you. Wow. And then he can be like, just kidding, Halloween fools. Not really going to murder you. And I'll be like, I'm not joking, actually. Anyway, there were some Netflix teasers that we just missed out on last week.

We got Cowboy Bebop. We got The Sandman. We got Cobra Bebop. We got The Sandman. We got Cobra Kai Season 4. We got Extraction to His Back, Jake Rake or whatever his name is. It was like they put a hashtag at the end of the trailer and it's like, Jake Rake is back or whatever. And I'm like, who's Jake Rake? Whatever.

They put the real name in there, I'm assuming. But I'm like, was that his name? I think his name is Rake, something Rake. Rake Matrix is back. And'm like i'm all right let me check he seems to like i don't know maybe there's a dream sequence in that teaser tyler right tyler tyler rake it's a good movie his name's rake matrix um it was good. I enjoyed it. But, like, it's interesting. Like, I don't know if the – because at the end of the last one,

he gets shot in the neck. Yeah. And he falls, like, right in the carotid artery, it seems. And he falls off a bridge into the water. And then in the trailer for this, he's just underwater, just sitting around. He's like, I should probably get out of this water. I don't like it in here.

Oh, it's bad. Water's probably gross. He just swims out. And I'm like, have another hole in your neck. Is this a dream? It's formative. It might be a dream. I don't like it in here. It's bad. This water's really gross. He just swims out and I'm like, have another hole in your neck. Is this a dream? It's formative. It might be a dream. I think it's probably a dream.

All the cold cauterized the wound. Yes, the cold of that searing hot day where he got shot on that bridge. Yeah, but in a hot lake. In a hot lake. Which, relatively speaking, is colder. I get it. So you'd go in and your body would go, oh, this is a bit colder, actually. I'll cauterize this dead wound.

I love it. Anything in general? What do you think of the Cowboy Bebop opening sequence? I mean I've never seen Cowboy Bebop. Oh, no. Fuck it, whatever. But it's the same, right? Yeah, it's pretty much, yeah.

Having only recently gotten into Cowboy Bebop, it looks pretty much the same. That hurt me to break character. Yeah, I know. Wow. Because you've spent the entirety of this episode thus far in your character as a guy who knows everything about anime. That's right.

Because you do that. For people who don't know, before the episode starts, you really see him getting in there. You see him go, Akira, Akira, Akira, Akira. I do a big power-up. Castle Cuglyostro. So anyway, yeah, it's the same though, right? Yeah, it looks the same.

But again, it's free, so. It is. We've got a first look at Soldier Boy. From the boys. From the boys. A Captain America-esque outfit. Yep. I was hoping it would be blue, but it's green.

I mean, it makes more sense that it would be green. Yes, because of soldiering. Because of soldiering about. That must be coming back in the next few months, right? Should I double check that right now? Please do, James. Let me just close this. Don't make anybody, including me, do original research.

All right. So I didn't have to close the tab. I was looking up anime stuff, just so you know. As a joke. As a joke. Yeah, but I didn't have to. Okay, TechRadar. I'll try this one.

Fourth article down. When can I watch it? A launch date is TBC, but don't be surprised if it doesn't arrive until 2022. Thanks. That's really helpful. Thanks for nothing, TechRadar. You've let us down yet again. Every week with these fucking guys.

Every week with TechRadar. We shouldn't give them any more chances, don't you think? That's right. Boycott tech radar. Every goddamn time. So LA Times have got some news. Putting up some of these bloody, employed some bloody jamming techniques on that bloody tech radar

because otherwise it's never working. You're not wrong. He's not wrong, guys. Electronic countermeasures on that bloody tech radar. Every week he brings a new zinger so he can zing tech radar when they let us down. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I worked on that bloody tech radar. Every week he brings a new zinger so he can zing tech radar when they let us down. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I worked on that for a week. I was like, I gotta

strive to the powerful heights of a pig rolling down a hill. I don't know if it's just me. And you rarely achieve it, but you're just... Maybe I'm biased because it's my son, but that's the funniest zinger that's ever been on the show. I'm probably wrong.

I mean, if it isn't, it's close son, but that's the funniest thing that's ever been on the show. I agree. I'm probably wrong. No, I'm not. I mean, if it isn't, it's close, right? Yeah. And yet if we got him in here to do an episode, he'd clam up, I bet. He wouldn't do it. He wouldn't do it. He's the dancing frog from Warner Brothers, do you know what I mean? If it was now, it'd be the dabbing frog, which you would like.

I would like it. I agree. I'm going with this one. I'm going with this one. Oh, I didn't write this down. Space Jam trailer. Did you see it? I didn't watch it. Absolute nonsense. In what way?

It just looks bad, but I'm going to watch it and love it. Look, all I know is I saw some people in the Planet Broadcasting Great Mates Facebook group say it looks better. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's probably true. It's not for me. I'm going to watch it.

Okay. And they're like, they get 3D or whatever. Nice. I think it will be better than the last one. It's not for me. I'm going to watch it. And they're like, they get three day or whatever. I think it will be better than the last one. Okay. There you go. I'll say that. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.

They're working on a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory prequel simply called Wonka.

Chockies! No, Wonka. In the style of Joker, presumably. Absolutely, yeah yeah Rhymes Like does it? I don't know Collider says that Tom Holland Or Timothee Chalamet

Yeah if you call that movie Jonker If you call it Todd Phillips' Jonker Joker Wonka They do not rhyme You wouldn't watch Jonker? I'd absolutely watch Jonker

And I'd expect To go to the gift shop afterwards And get the game of Jonker Which is you know That tower building game It's Australian Jenga It's called Jonker and I'd expect to go to the gift shop afterwards and get the game of Jonker, which is, you know, that tower building game. It's Australian Jenga. It's called Jonker. We've talked about it. You have to pull out a block and then spin a yarn. That's right.

If you don't spin an entertaining yarn, they just push it over in your legs. That's right. And it's just going to be about a man who had a dream. I would love a man who had a dream. And about a dream he wanted to give chocolate to all the children. But also make a lot of money and have slaves. Weird slaves and weird. Weird songs and weird punishments.

Horror universe. You know, this whole time I've been picturing Johnny Depp, Wonka. Yeah, right. And not Gene Wilder, Wonka. Not the good one. Not the good one. Yeah. Yeah.

That is a good movie. Yeah, yeah. Any casting? I mean, Tom Holland, obviously. Yeah, and Charlemagne. Timothy Charlemagne because he's got the hair. They've both got the hair. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And they both could probably do a forward role. The only two actors in Hollywood. Which is what you need to do, exactly. That's right because since Gene Wilder died it was the three of them. Battling it out for all those roles, that's right. That's it. Oh, you know what? You bring Timothy Charlemet, Tom Holland,

See No Evil, Hear No Evil reboot. Very good. All right. Who do you put in blackface, though? Both of them. Okay. We get them cancelled, and then two other actors can get some roles in Hollywood.

I love it. We trick them. I love it. Yeah. Do you think if they did Hear No Evil, See No Evil again, or whatever that movie's called, would they get an actual blind actor, an actual deaf actor, do you think? They probably would.

Yes. You'd think. I would hope so. But there's something also about the chemistry between those two, which would be very difficult to replicate whoever you get. Yeah, I guess that's true. So I guess why not? I guess you'd have to get an existing, like, really great comedic pair,

and then blind one and deaf in the other one. Maybe you could get it to do it with each other. Yeah. Like, you guys want this. It's like the Joker. Break the pool cue and chuck it down. Yeah. So do you want a Jonker update?

Yeah, I'd love a Jonker update. Jonker 2, Pig in the City. So this is by a deadline, but this is about the Wonka prequel, which is going to be a Wonka origin story. Oh, we are talking about Wonka, not Jonka. No, I presume in the vein of Jonka. Should this be an update where we both talk about Joker sequels and Wonka prequels?

We are going to talk about Joker sequels. This is the Jonka segment. It's Jonka because it's Wonka, but it's Joker. I'm saying we're combining the two. Oh, you want to work together? I had something in between. Okay, fine. Whatever, man. I was saving that for the last bit of news. It's big news. People can skip to it. Whatever, fine. Whatever, man. I was saving that for the last bit of news. Oh, I see.

Because it's big news. People can skip to it. Whatever. It doesn't really matter. So Timothy Charlemagne will play Wonka in the origin film. It's probably about how he enslaved all those pygmies or whatever. When he met all the Oompa Loompas. Where did he find them?

In the forest. Another dimension. Yeah. No, I think it was in the jungle. Okay. And he was like, why don't you work in a factory instead of living in this jungle? And the way he frames it in the book is that they were hunted by like a local creature. Okay.

And so. Did he just kill the creature? No, slavery. Yeah, fair enough. That's what he decided. Pop a glass elevator on him. Yeah. Damn.

Do you think he's going to get his hat? Yes. Cool. Probably the monster's going to be wearing the hat. He has to get the hat? He's like, well, I don't... He's like, I can kill the monster. Or?

Or get the hat and take these and pull them into slavery. I don't have time for both. Yeah. So I'll take the hat and the slavery. Yeah. I don't even want the hat. But I'm going to do it because I want the slavery. Do you think he will get a leg injury that leads to the scene at the...

When we first see William John Carr? I don't know whether he'll do that, but he'll definitely do a forward roll. I don't understand what context. Maybe it's out of the way of a monster. I'm going to put one earth dollar on that he gets a leg injury that leads to him. But he doesn't actually have an injury. I know, but that's not important. That's not important for how movies are produced these days. It doesn't matter that he doesn't have a real leg injury.

Yeah. They just want us to be like, hey, remember the time he seemingly had a leg injury and then he did a forward roll? What about this? Go on. He gets a leg injury. Go on. He's loving the cane, right?

And then the doctor says, you don't need that cane anymore. And he goes, you know what? I think I'm going to hang on to it. Credits, Jonker. Says, Jonker, a film by Todd Phillips or whatever. Yeah, Todd Phillips is Jilliam Jonker. Nice. Great.

Yeah, nice. But I don't know. I'm just excited for the movie Jonker 2023. Same. I'm the Jonker, baby. You know what I mean? I don't because you could be one of two people. Are you the Jonker, super criminal the Jonker? Yeah. Or i mean i don't because you could be one of two people are you are you the jonker super criminal the jonker yeah or are you jilliam jonker the chocolate

factory man that's the mystery of the jonker whoa this goes deep yeah zack snyder opened up about the original title for batman v superman dawn of justice Which is fascinating because I had thought that Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice was just, was precisely Zack Snyder's bag, like that title. Yeah, sure. It's come from his whole brain pan. But apparently that was a corporate, big corporate decision. I've got a quote here.

Go on. This is the lead up, okay. So I remember there was back and forth that over the studio. Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice was the only title that Warner Brothers liked. The whole V thing instead of versus, it was like this crazy negotiation. I was like, guys, can't we do something like Son of Sun or Night of Night or something a little bit more poetic? And they were like, absolutely not.

I was like, is it a court case? Son of Sun, Night of Night. Oh, is Batman v Superman a court case? I see what you're saying. Yeah, like Kramer v Kramer. So what he's saying is the son of... Possum's gone berserk, mate. Jesse Eisenberg would say something similar in that movie.

Yeah, he says like the God of Krypton versus the Bat of Gotham. Yeah, or Bat of Knight. I can't remember. It's Bat of Gotham. It's bad. Yeah, it's very bad. Anyway, those aren't good names. Bad, really bad.

Son of Son. Anyway, they didn't do that. For a while we talked about actually titling a Justice League subtitle to suggest that this movie is going to be the beginning of Justice League, like Justice League Foundations or Justice League Rising. I think, though, for a movie like that, you have to go a versus or a V. Do you know what I mean? Unless it was Justice League, Batman versus Superman.

Okay. Like that's what's selling your film, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. So there you go. There's some news from. Okay, but what about Son of Sun versus Night of Nights? What if it was Night?

What about Batman, Superman, Hot Summer Nights? What about Batman v Superman? What was that? What was that? Miami. What was the fucking Baywatch Miami or whatever it was? Batman v Superman Baywatch Nights. There we go.

Whatever. Anyway, there's news from a long time ago. That's great. I'm loving it. It keeps coming back, doesn't it? The Batman v Superman news. It's what started the show. That's right.

And it's what will put us in our graves. What's going to be on our graves then? And it has to be Batman v Superman. Can I be son of son? Yeah, no, that's cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Great. I mean, I'm assuming that the lines to come in and visit our graves

will be so long that you'll only be able to visit one of us during the day. And then you've got to line up again. And then visit the other one at night. So that would be perfect. Yeah, it would be, wouldn't it? Yeah. And plus they're going to need like a brief four-hour window for people to like clean the, because I'm assuming all the people visiting

are defacing the graves. Yeah, absolutely. That's why they're lining up, yeah. Did you watch the trailer? No, what are you going to, maybe a quote on your grave site? What do you think of this? And I'm on your grave? Oh, what do you think of this? And I'm doing a crotch chop. What do you think?

Is it an animated gif? No. Oh, it's chiseled in. Chiseled in. Oh, that's beautiful actually. What about you? And I'm facing your grave. What do you think of this?

Wow. Yeah. Maybe I'm just like, oh, that's rude actually. Not cool, man. I can't defend myself because I'm dead. Cool. All right, locked in. Let's do it.

And the graves have to be facing each other. It's the only two in the whole thing that are facing each other. Oh, and, all right, this is unrelated, but they have like laser tag, like those little mirrors on them. Yep. And then like a light gun's on the top. Okay, fine. So people can interact. Okay, I love that. Yeah. Inter then like a light gun's on the top. Okay, fine. So people can interact.

Okay, I love that. Interactive. It's beautiful. I love it. Anyway, that's movies. But just off the back of that, I wanted to mention that David Goy has been doing the rounds this week, wrote some of the Dark Knight movies, Batman, Superman, and Man of Steel.

He's David Esquire? Yeah, that guy. Is there more than one David Goyer? There must be. I'm sure there would be. Because if there's a David Esquire, that means David Regal. Just grab that phone book behind you. We'll have a flick through it. We'll ring around. All Yeah, that guy. Is there more than one David Goyer? There must be. I'm sure there would be. Because if there's a David S. Goyer, that means David regular Goyer. Just grab that phone book behind you. We'll have a flick through it.

We'll ring around. All right, all right. Anyway, so he just. Hey, David Goyer, two questions. One, are you the only David Goyer? And secondly, is your refrigerator running currently, David Goyer? Good stuff. Oh, it is?

Oh, good stuff. Oh, it is? Well, how could – I thought the autopilot wasn't working at the end of Dark Knight Rises. How did Batman get back into the city? How did Batman get back into the city when he was in the middle of nowhere and out in that pit? Better go catch him then. Click.

Oh, you're a different David Goyer? Oh, then you wouldn't know. I mean, take a guess, I guess. You've seen that movie, right? Yeah. Oh, you're a different David Goyer? Oh, then you wouldn't know. I mean, take a guess, I guess. You've seen that movie, right? Yeah. Oh, you stopped at Dark Knight. Okay. Yeah, a lot of people do.

Yeah, Heath Ledger was good at that. Wasn't he? Anyway, what I thought was fascinating is that he spoke about Man of Steel. Yes. And a note that he got. So here we go. Get this. One note I got was on Man of Steel, where the ending involves Superman utilizing the

pod that he arrived in as a child in order to bring down General Zod's ship. Okay. The note we got from the studio said, you have to change that. We asked why. They said, because if Superman uses that pod and it's destroyed while saving the city, how is he ever going to get back to Krypton? There was just this long pause and we said Krypton blew up. You saw 30 minutes of it.

So that's great. And even if he was like, I'd like to go back to the ruins of Krypton, he's a man who can fly through space. He's a man who can fly and probably build another ship and he has a big ship. Got a big ship. Got a big ship in that movie. That ship survives. So that's pretty incredible that that came up.

But that's studio, buddy. That's Hollywood studio system. Wouldn't you say, Mason? Yes. All right. Got another bit of news. Here's something. DC Fandome has a trailer for next week.

It teases and confirms a couple of things. For one, we are getting the Batman trailer. There were hints at Shazam, Black Adam. Did you see the Hawkman silver helmet? Yes. There was some The Flash stuff, both televisual and movie. And there was many stars of the many DC upcoming TV shows and movies promoting this, many of whom had different levels

of enthusiasm for what they were asked to do. Okay, I'm going to do something now. Pattinson? Not so much, if I had to guess. Here's something I want to do right now. I wasn were asked to do. Do you? Okay. I'm going to do something now. Patenson, not so much, if I had to guess. Here's something I want to do right now. I wasn't going to do it. Yes. I wasn't planning to do it, but I got an email from DC Fan Dome

in particular, right? And I didn't consult you on this. I just shot down the idea. So let's just see how we go. Hang on. Let's bring it up. Do you want to have a sickly man in the room? You'll have to pay him

a hundred thousand dollars okay so the idea was warner brothers would love to i'm just going to go through this all right warner brothers would love to partner with you uh with you on your youtube channel for the dc fandom campaign this year okay here's a quick snapshot of the campaign okay social posting window so i gotta do a number of social posts leading up. Okay. Including two in-feed posts or channel previews, three Instagram stories as in two frames or more, six frames in total. Let me stop you there.

I'm already exhausted. I'm glad you turned this down. This isn't it. I figured it wouldn't be. I knew it wouldn't be, but continue. All right. Amplification of the DC Fandom Twitter post with retweets on key announcements begins October 4th.

And most importantly of all, a three-hour consecutive live stream of DC Fandom Watch Party. Wow. Which we could have done together. Now, I turn this down. For one, it was a substantial amount of money, but I'm like, this isn't enough money. Okay.

And I've got my kids at home because of homeschooling and even though it is a weekend, it's just I've never live streamed and I'm just like I'd have to figure it all out. It's true. And I'm reposting fandom tweets and whatever. And the first 20 minutes we wouldn't have done the mics properly. We would have been silent. There would have been a lot of us laughing at each other's jokes

and a lot of comments underneath being like we can't hear you yeah and the other thing is like i i love dc fandom like genuine i think it's great but i still like don't want to do this anyway there's more announcement post these are the creative directions uh this post is meant to inform your audience of your participation in the live streaming of dc. Get creative on how you announce your partnership with a cosplay slash makeup transformation into your favorite DC character. Show off your massive Superman collection. I don't have that. Transform your car into the Batmobile.

No. No? Okay, what? No. Set up your living room into the ultimate DC Fandom watch party environment. Remember that the goal is to get your viewers excited to participate in DC Fandom and encourage them to register at dcfandom.com and tune in for the watch party, your watch party.

Why would you watch me when you could watch the real thing? Would we have to do picture in picture? Yeah, like you watch me talk over, is that what you want, the Batman trailer? Do you want me to interrupt Kevinvin smith to talk about the batman trailer uh anyway themed pre-party please feature any dc that you want me to do no continue please madness goes deep this is too much oftentimes people like these bloody influencers they don't do any bloody work they just go on the bloody they're on the twitch or they're on the whatever this is a lot on the whatever. This is a lot. This is an unusual amount of things, though, probably. And often when I get something this complicated, I'm like, absolutely not.

Never. Please feature any DC-themed environments, backgrounds. Don't have that. Don't have that. Dress in a cosplay. Don't have that. Wear a DC-branded merch to your watch party. I don't have that.

I know I've got a Superman t-shirt, I think, somewhere that I sometimes sleep in, but nobody wants to see that. It's got holes in it. It's got baby sick on it. Get your viewers excited about the experience you're about to explore together. Example, what are you most excited about? Or who dressed up as Wonder Woman today?

Tweet me a pic and tag hashtag DC fandom. Great. That's live stream starts 10 a.m pt influencers will co-stream the live feed from twitch facebook or youtube viewers will share their real-time reactions via chat hosted on the influencers stream influencers will be armed with relevant talking points slash call outs to further drive engagement for example we just got to see a bts look at batman how bts is in the batman no mason as in breaking the silence korean pop band i think that's what it stands for i'm not sure we just got to see a bts behind the scenes look at batman how cool go post your reaction and tag me at dc fandom so i can see it I would love to watch all of these just to know.

I would just love to watch the Batman trailer reveal segment just to see how many influencers go, that was so cool. Hashtag me in your favourite Wonder Woman costume at DC. Exclusivity, you'll be restricted from posting any other paid promotion during no third-party branding. We want to promote Manscaped during this. Third-party branding. You will be responsible for your own wardrobe.

Outrageous. Also, I don't want that. Your wardrobe shall not include any recognisable logos, brand names, trademarks, images, except if they're approved by Warner Brothers. So you're saying they're not going to send us any Joaquin Phoenix Joker big underpants that we could wear? We're going to supply our own big underpants

this is an outrage uh they also must uh one of us review and the company i won't name the company uh must review all the content outlines before it's published all your content must uh be disclosed in the social media guidelines something you do not monetize your live stream or receive donations do not use music in the content of live streams other than music than within DC fandom. Or Gary Glitter. Or Gary Glitter, yes. Use unapproved imagery stills, et cetera. Do not wear or show in the background third-party logos,

and et cetera. So that's essentially it. And I just looked at that and went, wow. Just that, James? Just that. That's all, is it? Huh. Easy peasy.

If we gathered up like all our DC memorabilia, we'd have like two t-shirts. It would look bad. And I don't think I even have like a Batman action figure or anything. My son does actually. Okay. So we'll. Yeah.

I need to borrow this. Yeah. So it's just both of us on a couch and there's a single Batman figurine behind us. Well, anyway, I did have one idea and I was never going to do it, but my idea was that the background is that weird empty void

they used the last year. I'm like, look, we're in the empty void from DC Fandom 2020. We hate it in here. But I feel like they wouldn't let me do that. They wouldn't like that. No, no. So anyway, that's often you'll get something like that, but from something you hate.

It's like League of Legends or whatever, and you have to do this, this, this, this. And I'm like, all of this is a contingent that you think I would want anything to do with this absolute fucking dreck you have sent over. To its credit, like, I am excited for DC Fed. We are going to be covering it like extensively next week. There's going to be like multiple trailer breakdowns and whatever.

And I'm pretty sure also I can make more money doing that than this, if I'm honest. We should have done like a makeup live stream and then it's done. We get some professionals in and then when it's finished it's like, we're Jimmy Olsen. We're the two Jimmy Olsens from Lois and Clark, the new adventures of Superman. We're just two guys.

My other idea was that we both dress as Burt Ward Robin. That's really good. That's good. In the DC 2020 void. So we're both like, neither of us are Batman. Yeah, that's good. We're both 1960s Robin. But then, like, I need it in a week like i can't what am i gonna i can't do any of this turn my car into

the batmobile what are you talking about what do you mean you know when we know when uh batman built a scent of the sensible suv you know it's gonna put the bat family in it uh anyway uh and i i but i said like i appreciate i like i appreciate you thinking of me because i do but i'm like i can't do this like i just not able to and they said we'll give you ten thousand dollars if you just read out it wasn't ten thousand dollars no but they're just like we'll give you ten thousand dollars if you just read out the thing we sent you and make fun of it on live on a podcast that'll do we'll take it that counts as promotion we'll take. We'll give you more money. Just let us give you money.

I think also we are already doing more promotion for it. You know what I mean? It's free, essentially. It's free anyway. So anyway, whatever. Anyway, James Bond is out. But we shall not dress up for it. No, unless we're both Robin, which I think is a solid idea. That's a funny bit, yeah.

Anyway. Or we could be on that. Just a bearded Robin. What if we're both Robin and it's on that movie and they're running down the street and that's the background? Oh, just constantly. Or the, you know, when they're hanging on the wall, yeah. And there's just like a Vincent Price coming out the window

being like, ooh. Anyway. Anyway, Superman is bisexual. And what I don't like about this, and if you just hear me out, Mason. Go on. They are fundamentally. No, no, that's it. We're ending the podcast. They are fundamentally changing the character of Superman.

And by that I mean it's Superman's son who recently became Superman for real full time. And also this happens all the time and who gives a shit. You're just going to have to get past it. It's just a thing that happens and good and who cares. What do you think? Yeah, I think it's good. It's, you know, a bit of fun. He's an alien.

He's an alien and he's also a man. So we can do what, you know. Exactly. And as you mentioned before the show, which I'd forgotten, Tim Drake is bisexual as well. So that's the third Robin is also, yeah. So that's interesting. So I know a lot of people have been like,

Superman's not gay, Superman's married, lost, blah, blah, blah. Even if they did make it that, again, he's an alien, it doesn't matter. But it's not Clark Kent, it's his son. And I think, again, this happens- Also, it could be Clark Kent. He might have a revelation about his life.

That's what I'm saying. Like, it wouldn't really matter at all. Also, DC, very big fans of just rebooting their entire universe and changing a bunch of stuff so if you don't like this just wait five years and they'll erase john kent from history because they always do this every time they do it all the time yeah exactly and the thing about this is yeah i mean you shouldn't not like it it's fine like it's yeah you should either like it or be indifferent or shut up anyway i think it's good because it you know well for one they do it for a number of reasons it gets eyes on the comic

people get upset about it people tweet about it people defend it but ultimately i think it's a chance for people to see themselves represented in comics and if it doesn't represent you then you can see something that's maybe a little different from your lived experience and maybe that's an interesting story and cancel superman is what i'm saying i'm upset basically well i say that every i say this every time whenever a large corporation like introduces diversity into a thing the corporation does not care about any of these things all they care about is they found another market sector to exploit and be like well we don't you know these this group of people isn't spending money on our stuff, so if we introduce this, that'll happen. But the thing is that the people who are brought in to write this stuff and the people who watch it, it's important to them.

So if you go, okay, well, we introduce a bisexual character and we get a bisexual writer to write it, for example, they are very excited to write stories about it, and that's important to them. So if you go, oh, actually, it's just the corporation just doing it. It's all the corporations doing it, whatever. It's all the corporations. Just force diversity, and I'm sick of it.

It's not forced to the people who are writing it and the people who are experiencing it. Yes, the corporation doesn't. But everything they do. DC would shoot us if they got. DC Comics would shoot us all if there was a profit margin in it. If they're like, listen, if we stop making comics and movies and actually there was gold in all our readers

and we could shoot them and take the gold out, they'd just shoot us and take the gold out. And some people would be like, well, actually, that would be illegal and there would be a fine attached. They don't care. They'd pay the fine. They'd factor that in. They'd factor the fine in to shooting us and taking the gold out of our bodies

and then they'd be rich. But they can't do that. So they'll exploit some other market, but it's not to say say that they can't do that because there is no goldenness that they know of yeah so just if they're asking to check if you've got any gold in you just in case just be like no gold here thank you champs champs i've been i've been eating gold for like 20 years what are you doing don't tell dc though god i'm actually quite scared now there's stacks of gold in me i got gold in my bones, man. My bones full of gold.

But we're upset, aren't we? Yeah, we're really upset. Yeah. Anyway, look forward to us doing this same bit again in a few months when a different thing happens. This is via Facebook. Whoa, all right. I know.

Did you dive into the metaverse to get this? I had to. I put on a headset. Yeah. I put on a headset and I walked into a wall so that was let me ask you a question how how how simple is the technology for metaverse gonna have to get before you are willing to use it because i because i wear glass it would have to be a pair of glasses yeah that's what i'm saying i can't feel i wear like i wear these glasses and i don't really notice it anymore, like as a recent convert to glasses.

If they were any heavier than this, I'm like, no. Convert? You mean like you had to wear glasses? Yeah, I had to wear them. That's right. I guess then. Yeah, you know, I really was shown the value of glasses in the sense that if I don't wear them, I walk into walls.

So, yeah, I think if I, like, just the idea of having to put on a helmet to go and do a meeting. Yeah, exactly. Not that I go to any meetings. No, I know. But just it's honestly, I watched that. No, I didn't watch it. I watched people making fun of it.

Sure. This is disgusting. I'm jumping on board making fun of this. I'm jumping on the virtual making fun of Metatrain toot toot. Why is he like that? I don't know. I think we've brought it up a bit. But like, what the fuck is wrong with that guy?

Like genuinely. That's it. That's the question. I think he just wants that Johnny mnemonic snow crash kind of virtual world. Yeah, but like he's everything about him. Like he blinks weird. And I know there's like the lizard person memes and all of that stuff. But like what's with these haircuts?

Like the whole thing. And when he picks his metaverse character, it's him. It's just him. Exactly. Yeah, right. Didn'tverse character, it's him. It's just him, yeah. Exactly. Yeah, right. Didn't have a robot arm or anything. Sure. I don't know.

What a loser. He is. Yeah. Anyway. Also, I do like the idea that your avatar in the metaverse would just be you but with a robot arm. Just jeans and a T-shirt and a robot arm. Probably.

Yeah. What's the robot arm do? Nothing. Nothing. Yeah. Anyway, this is by Barry Keoghan. And I looked up how to pronounce that. And it's Keoghan?

Yeah, sorry. He was in, yeah, apparently. He was in Eternals. Oh, yes. He's, don't, don't. Druig. He's Druig. That's right. He was in Eternals. Oh, yes. He's, he's, um, don't, don't. Druig. He's Druig. That's right.

He was in, um, he was in Dunkirk. Anyway, his brother, Eric went on Facebook and wrote, so it's finally out. Oh, this might be a spoiler for the Batman. If you want to jump ahead. Uh, it's finally out. My brother playing the Joker in the new Batman, unreal stuff. And then he deleted it because Warner brothers probably beat him to death. Yeah.

Um, so there you go. So apparently in it. And we also know somebody who has seen the new Batman and we probably can't say who, yeah, they messaged us. Did they?

Yeah. All right then. Great. We can't say though, cause it's probably, probably signed a thing. Oh, I can't remember now.

Yep. It's Robert Pattinson. Yeah. they probably signed a thing. Oh, I can't remember now. Robert Pattinson. Let's say their name. It's Robert Pattinson. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. He's like, hey, fellows. It's me. Hello.

I'm Robert Pattinson. You know me from movie. I do, Robert. I do. He doesn't understand plurals. Oh, does he? Robert Pattinson, yeah. Yeah.

You know me from movie. You only remember the last movie he did. You know me from movie. You know me from the Batman. only remembers the last movie he did. You know me from movie. You know me from the Batman. We haven't seen it, Robert. We haven't seen it. We know. We know you.

Yeah. In general. But anyway, so BBC Radio 4. We know you from the lighthouse. What? You what? The lighthouse. Did we go on holiday?

Oh, Robert. No, Robert Pattinson. Robert, you need help. This character will not endure. I'm predicting it right now. BBC Radio 4, Ridley Scott. Robert Pattinson with memory problems. Doesn't fly.

Seems cruel, honestly. It's not even an element of his character in real life. It's not even an element of his character in real life it's not even an element of his celebrity persona i don't know i don't know where it came from because i said movie instead of movies anyway okay so now we're in the section of the show um yes go on we're going to go through the movies of 2021 this is a fucking utter waste of time but i I guess we're doing it. Because of how many cancellations. Since I've made this list, I've already had to shift a bunch of this shit around.

That being said, there's also a lot of streaming here. So what am I doing? Well, let's do it in big chunks. Big chunks. So we're already through January for the most part and something came out, I think. But you know that. Oh, my God. It's nearly February.

How did that happen? Time. It was December for a million years. Yeah. Yeah, it was, wasn't know that maybe. Oh, my God, it's nearly February. How did that happen? Time. It was December for a million years. Yeah. Yeah, it was, wasn't it? Yeah. Yeah. So February, the big ones I've got here are Tom and Jerry,

animated and live action, and the movie Cherry, which is Tom Holland robs a bank for money. He does. But I look, it doesn't, the trailer doesn't really. That's the Russo brothers as well. It is. The trailer doesn't really explain it all that well, but he signs up to the army.

Yes. And then he gets shipped off for a tour of Afghanistan or what have you. Yep. And then he comes back and he's addicted to painkillers, which is why he has to, he's robbing banks to pay for it. Maybe his girlfriend left him or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What do you think?

Looks pretty good. Yeah. I like that Thomas Holland. That's right. It'll be interesting to see a Russo Brothers film outside of the MCU. Did you know his last name is actually pronounced Ho-land? Ho-land? Wow. Does he know that? No. I'm trying to find a way to break it to him. Have you been

hitting him up on Insta? I think it'll break his little heart. Yeah, that's right. That's not about Holland but his broken heart. That's not about the broken heart. Like a little mouse is broken. Just like a mouse has been let down. Oh, my cheese. It's the same noise. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I couldn't tell him about his name. I had to say that somebody ate all his cheese. Oh, not my cheese. Oh, my cheese. My gouda. No gouda. That's what he thinks about that. I agree. That is what he thinks. So there you go.

But we're going to move into March because I've got Coming to America. Wait, there's only two movies coming out in February? There's others, but that's like the main kind of stuff, whatever. You're saying mostly Bollywood and straight to DVD and stuff. Yeah, all that stuff. I mean, a lot of these are straight to DVD and VOD or whatever. March, we've got Coming to America, which is the sequel, and it's also PG-13.

Oh. So no washing your penis jokes, which the first one had. Speaking of Tom Holland. And no washing your penis in the cinema. No, I agree. I don't care how many people you have to pee on. I don't care if there's a bird bath in there. It doesn't matter.

Right out. Don't do it. That's right. That's for the birds. bath in there. Doesn't matter. Don't do it. That's right. That's for the birds. Speaking of Tom Holland,

we're getting Chaos Walking, the one where you can see Tom Holland's thoughts. The mind snake. Yeah, the mind snake. Do you reckon that's going to be good? It's called Don't Wash Your Mind Snake. In the presence of others. Your little grubby little boy. Are you looking forward to that movie?

Nope. Knowing that it's not going to be very good. Nope, I'm not. Maybe it's amazing. They've been delaying it for like- Maybe I'll watch it if it's on streaming. They filmed it in like 2003 or something. It's been out,

it's been- It was a 10-year-old boy then. They pushed it back before the pandemic. Oh, well that's a bad time. And reshot it. But they reshot a bunch, so maybe it's going. They pushed it back before the pandemic. Oh, well, that's a bad sign. And reshot it. But they reshot a bunch, so maybe it's going. They're going to release it with a tagline, we only delayed this because of the pandemic,

no other reason. It's good, we swear. No, we can't promise that. Yeah. Just watch it, though. Yeah, just watch it. Just watch it, though. We're happy for you to pay for it.

Then November, Eternals. Big, big, big. Big good probably. Yep. Speaking of you mentioned they put a deaf actor in, or whatever it's called, one of the Eternals is deaf and in real life deaf as well. So there you go.

Because they're super fast. Is that how it works? No, I think because of Sonic Boom, maybe they got deafened by Sonic Boom. I think that's. Sonic Boom the video game? Yeah. Wow.

Shouldn't have stick it in your ear. Anyway, so go on. It's the best I could do. I'm sorry. No, I understand. But I think I read... What I read was that the character and the actor is deaf and they're the super speed one.

So I think maybe I just joined the box. Maybe Sonic Boom's... Maybe like a thousand years of Sonic Boom did it. Maybe her ears move too fast for sound. Maybe. Maybe she runs and her ears stay a long way away and they can't take a long time to catch up. Because they're on a string. Yes.

I get you. Tin cans and string. Her ears are tin cans. Sounds really good. And string. And string. Then we've got Baz Luhrmann's. That's how they communicate the Eternals throughout the galaxy.

Tin cans and strings. Yeah, yeah. I should look into a different thing. Elvis movie. What's his name? Elvis Presley. Yeah, the famous musician. You might have known him from his music.

But it's the Baz Luhrmann one. And it's got Tom Hanks as the Colonel or whatever. Okay. Ghostbusters Afterlife, which is the fifth Ghostbusters movie we figured out. And, of course, Mission Impossible, number seven. Which is the sixth Ghostbusters movie we figured out. That's right, exactly. Can you believe that?

I can. Do you think Tom Cruise believes in ghosts, knowing full well that he does? Because of Scientology is about space ghosts. I mean, define ghosts, but space ghosts. Yeah, a lot of Scientology is based on space ghosts. I don't think he believes in, like, you know, a poltergeist situation. Yeah, a lot of Scientology is based on space ghosts. I don't think he believes in like a poltergeist situation. Yeah. But I think if you were like Tom, all the crockery in my house moves around

when I leave the room and then I come back and it's all different. What do you think that is? It's me. I'm running in. I'm moving all your crockery. I've been doing it for years. I do it to so many people's houses. How do I fit it all your crockery. I've been doing it for years. I do it to so many people's houses. How do I fit it all in?

Scientology. But I think you could probably, he could probably, if he was in the mindset, he could probably go, it probably hasn't moved. It's probably you only think it's moved because your brain is unbalanced because of thetans. Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah. And if we just strap you to this machine, your crockery won't move anymore because we'll have rearranged of thetans. Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah. And if we just strap you to this machine,

your crockery won't move anymore because we'll have rearranged the thetans. Exactly. And so you won't rearrange your crockery anymore. Also, it was me. It was me the whole time. But you're already in the machine. It's too late. Here's a question for you.

Yes. If Tom Cruise had to choose between these two things. Or Tom Cruise choose. Yes, right. If he has to believe in one of to choose between these two things. Or Tom Cruise choose. Yes, right. If he has to believe in one of the- It's our famous segment, Tom Cruise choose. One of these things he has to believe in, the other one he has to drop, okay? Okay.

One is Scientology, one is movie magic. What does he drop? I reckon movie magic. Yeah, you're probably right. Yeah. Because they really got them, don't they? They really do, yeah. Yeah.

I think they'd be like, Tom, I think your mission, as it were, in movies is over. You've completed the mission. You've taught everyone about movie magic and that was your goal and we're saying no. Yeah, okay, fair enough. And he goes, all right, I guess. Yeah.

He turns it down because movie magic is gone. That's right, yeah. That's what drives him in many ways. Anyway, let's talk television, Mason. Let's do it. Because we did TV last week. You mean movies last week. We did movies last week.

And this week we're like, let's not do movies again. Let's do a different thing. We thought about it. We were in our meeting. We were in our team meeting. And we were like, should we just do the same episode we did last week? Like word for word. We put it in and maybe listened to it.

I'd written on the whiteboard, I'd written same episode we did last week. Yeah. Like word for word. We put it in and put it, maybe listen to it. I'd written on the whiteboard, I'd written same episode question mark and then I wrote brainstorm underneath. And then I got like a Sharpie and I crossed out brainstorm because I don't want to do a brainstorm. And then I said mind map? I pointed aggressively at same episode a bunch of times. Like, bleh, bleh.

Yeah, exactly. But then you got me with the mind map thing. And, bleh, bleh. Yeah, exactly. But then you got me with the mind map thing. And then we mind mapped it out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we came to this. We had a mental battle in our various mind palaces. That's right, exactly. And we came to this conclusion, a stalemate.

Because it's the time of prestige television, isn't it, Mason? Yes, it's the time of prestige television. Television is as good as movie, and that's good. Television is as good as movie in a lot of ways. Are you obsessed with The Witcher? I think I didn't watch the last episode. I didn't watch most of the episodes. I watched a few episodes.

Yeah, I think I kept going away and coming back, and I'd forgot what time period we were looking at, and hunchbacks became regular people. Did you find yourself obsessed with the charm of Henry Cavill? He's good. And like the Witcher song, you know, the guy does the Witcher. It's good stuff. I think I need to give that more of an opportunity than I did.

I think I was, oh, yeah, I had a kid. So I don't remember anything from last year and there was a pandemic. So people ask me questions and they're like, what's this? And I'm like, I don't know. So, I mean, stock answer. What I find is a good strategy is stock answer. If somebody is asking you a question and you are absolutely not interested in engaging on any level, you're so bored with their entire existence,

just be like, yeah, I'm obsessed with it. Just be like, yeah, I'm obsessed with it. Have you been doing that this whole time? James, I'm obsessed with it. Okay. Yeah. That's cool. What you were just talking about, I'm obsessed with it. Have you been doing that this whole time? James, I'm obsessed with it. Okay. Yeah. That's cool. What you were just talking about, I'm obsessed with it.

So. There we go. We've got a couple of more here. A couple of more. A couple of more. This obviously isn't everything, but Why the Last Man is probably finally coming out. I'm excited for that.

I'm obsessed with it. He's learning. He is. I'm excited for that. I'm obsessed with it. He's learning. He is. I am. So let's talk about WandaVision. Again, we've got all our recaps. That's right. So I don't think this is going to be like super duper,

duper extensive because we've done hours on that. We've done our due diligence. We did, haven't we? With the help of Collings. But with the help of a couple of days of hindsight, what do you reckon about the series overall? Do you think the lessons learned from this for both the audience who are watching them and the show, what's that going to look like?

Do you think it's going to be audiences being like, remember WandaVision, let's not fucking go crazy? And what do you think for the people show running it? Do you think they're going to reel in the actors and maybe even ramp up the cameos? Oh, yeah, right. Oh, good question. Well, you thought of it, I think.

I did think of it, didn't I? I think step one is going to be talk to the actors and say, we love your funny, dry British humour, Paul Bettany. Yes. But don't do that again. I don't think he did anything wrong, to be honest. No, I think it's really funny. It didn't upset me.

Like I thought it was funny that he said there's a huge cameo and it was him. See, well, that's the thing. Like, again, it's just it's a TV show that people are getting for free if they already had Disney Plus. And I'm like, what do you want? Every time you say that, we get one person's like, it's not free. It's not free.

And just to clarify, we don't know that. We think it's free. We think it's free. Because I turn on my TV and it's just free. It's not free. And just to clarify, we don't know that. We think it's free. We think it's free. Because I turn on my TV and it's just on the TV. There's a button for it and I don't look at my account. I rarely look at it, so I don't know if they're taking the money out. Yeah. I don't know.

Just so people know. And I watch it through somebody else's window. So it's free as far as I'm concerned. Free and mute. Just how I like it. Yeah. But I think they're going to have to be like, yeah, pair it back a bit. Yeah.

Or shut up completely. Because I think if they go, okay, well, I guess we've got to put in some more cameos, then that's going to ramp up the budget. And I don't think – they've got a lot of money, but they don't have – I mean, they've got all the money, but they don't want to spend all the money. But I think also this show isn't about where's Doctor Strange. Yeah. And I think for me the payoff of the show was – Did I hear there's a spelling competition?

No. Stop it. Stop it. He shows up. Stop it. Stop doing that. competition? No. Stop it. Stop it.

Stop it. Stop doing that. And I hear there's a spelling bee and then he shoots some bees. What if he just came in and just started doing Kung Fu on Agatha Harkness? Just really lay into it. Just that firecracker Kung Fu, just karate chops to the face.

He just appears, just one really either, just one really hard one to the back of the neck and she crumples. Or Agatha Harkness is there and she's shooting lasers and there's fire coming from the sky. And she's like, I'll have all your power, Wanda. You can't defeat me. And then just Doctor Strange shows up and gets her in like the choke. And everything stops.

All the fire and the smoke and the lightning stops. And all the soundtrack stops. And it's just awkward choking voices. And he just brings her to the ground, MMA style. And then he just drops her. And he's like, there, easy, and he just walks away. I think that would be fun. That would be fun. I would have loved that.

Yeah. And then the Avengers theme goes, but it seems a bit confused. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I'd love that. But this is not working. All right. Well, this next segment is for the people, but obviously not for the people.

It's for the true fans. True fans. That's right. This is just for the true fans. It's not for the Kathleen Kennedys of the world. Exactly right. This is just if you're not a true fan of Zack Snyder's vision, his true artistic vision for Justice League, switch off now.

Yeah, that's right. But the heart of this movie people have talked about. The heart and soul. The beating heart is the Victor Stone, Ray Fisher stuff, which is much more interesting and tragic. And I can also see why Ray Fisher is like, fuck everybody at Warner Brothers. Because he got three minutes otherwise. Because so much of this is built around him,

and I think all of that is good. Like he's good and it's good. Even the scene where his mind goes into the internet. Yeah, I loved it. And he sees the financial markets as a bull and a bear fighting. Yes. Did you enjoy the part where he sees the poor woman who's struggling and he's like, I'm going to make the money bigger.

Yes. I made the money bigger. He made the money bigger. Here's the thing about this movie as well. It reminded me of the excess and the symbolism. Because the money got bigger. The money got way bigger. He made his hands like the money bigger.

I think you have something to say about symbolism, but it felt like Chronicles of Riddick just like they've taken this very ultimate compliment. Yeah, yeah. This very simple concept and just kind of blown it out into this like ridiculous like lengthy

expansion of lore and universe and it's just like absolute fucking insanity and that's what I like about it. That it's just this unapologetic like four hour's just like absolute fucking insanity. And that's what I like about it, that it's just this unapologetic like four-hour fucking just like. It's too long, James. It's way too long. I know.

So as mentioned up top, franchises be coming back sometimes. Sometimes. Sometimes they come back and people are like, boo, fuck off. Fuck back off. We don't like this. We don't want this. We don't like it. Sometimes they die for a while

and then somebody makes a good thing and everyone's like you know what, you can maybe stick around for it. We'll see. And then they make the sequel and everybody's like oh boo. Fuck this up. Get out of here. Start running. It's fun to use a whip. It is, isn't it? We put this out on Patreon. We put this up

on the Planet Broadcasting Great Mates group. That's right. And I guess, yeah, so it has to be that this died or dipped dramatically and then something revived it. Yeah. So we've got some of our own stuff. We've got some suggestions. That's right.

Let's fill some time before the big episode next week. Okay. You know what I mean? Here we go. Let's fill, baby. Hi-yah! Hi-yah! Okay, this is Molly Brady in the Planet Broad mean? Here we go. Let's fill, baby. Hi-yah! Hi-yah! Okay, this is Molly Brady in the Planet Broadcasting Great Mates group.

Let's do it. I should really learn how to pronounce Planet Broadcasting Great Mates group. You just did it just then. You call it, you know, the PBGM or whatever, if you want to. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever it is. The PBJ sandwich. That sounds right.

Yeah. How about this? This is a comment by someone named Bach Holiday, which is a great name if you ask me. He says, after the negative response to Batman and Robin, the Nolan trilogy swooped in and got a supporting actor Oscar. That's true. Do we count this as a rebooted franchise? I would say so.

You think so? Yeah. No? Well, I mean, yes, but also I guess Batman seems a whole different animal in the sense that it's- Because he never goes away. Because he never goes away, yeah. Yeah. No? Well, I mean, yes, but also I guess Batman seems a whole different animal in the sense that it's- Because he never goes away. Because he never goes away, yeah. Yeah.

But, I mean- He's a reboot. Yeah, that's true. And it's, you know, there's probably points, you know, in the history of every character that they've been like, do we really keep going with this? Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.

I bet there's been a – it would definitely have been a moment probably like post the 1960s Batman series maybe. Yeah. Batman comics probably would have taken a dip in the – Oh, totally, yeah. In sales, you know, that kind of thing. Even though we're getting a new one and I am looking forward to it and I really like the trailer and I'll probably enjoy the movie a lot.

Yes. I feel like they maybe should just give him a rest. Yeah. You know? Even though I'll see him. Like I'll see him all. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'll watch the Gotham series and whatever but I don't know.

What about this? For the next one, ticket sales are lower. You just pay like five bucks. You go into a theatre and the lights go down and then just the Batman logo appears on screen and it's just a voice going, yeah, Batman's cool. He is cool. He's cool. You know he's cool.

We know he's cool. He's cool. He's got the cool costume. He's got a cool utility belt. He's good at fighting. The car's always cool. The car's always a cool car, isn't it? Yeah, cool.

He's got a plane when he needs a plane. He's rich. That's cool. He's more of a jet than a plane. Drives a Lamborghini when he's boasting. That's cool isn't he? Yeah, cool. He's got a plane when he needs a plane. He's rich. That's cool. He's more of a jet than a plane. Drives a Lamborghini when he's boating. That's cool, you know? Yeah. He's good at fighting.

Did we mention that? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's cool. And, like, if you like MMA, he can do that. He can do MMA. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what? Sometimes you think he's been beaten, right, but then he gets back up again

and he beats them. That's cool. That's cool. You like that. You like that, don't you? Yeah, it's cool. Yeah. Anyway, get the fuck out. That's cool. That's cool. You like that. You like that, don't you? Yeah, it's cool. Anyway, get the fuck out. That's it.

That's it. And tell no one of this experience. It'd be cheap and it's what we all go there for, all that stuff. It's what it is. It's just we're just going over the same old ground. He's a good detective, but it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Nobody cares.

Nobody cares at this point. He's got a gadget that can do his detecting. Yeah. He can look at a fingerprint or whatever. He's got, yeah, different batarangs. He does, doesn't he? Sometimes he goes to like the Arctic or whatever and he's got like fur on his cloak.

That's cool, isn't it? It's cool. You know how bats have sonar? Yeah, yeah. He'll sometimes use a sonar device. Yeah, that's cool. Oh, he's got a heads-up display in his suit. It's cool.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's looking at Superman and there's a big target on Superman. That's cool. You might see sometimes he'll just type some things into his gauntlet. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A hologram over his gauntlet. That's cool, man.

That's cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get out. Get out. That's the sequel. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, nice. Bat cave's cool.

There's stuff in the bat cave. Yeah, don't think about all the bat shit in there. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, it's cool It's cool It's a cave Don't think about all the bat shit in there Yeah that's right Yeah that's cool I've beaten you Batman I've beaten you Because I'm pretty cool and twisted Yeah But then Batman gets up and he's like

Nah man Actually no Actually no And he socks him real hard in the jaw My goodness Does some MMA on him That's cool That is cool isn't it

It's cool It's all elbows and knees and grapples. Yeah, you better believe it. Mason? Yes? It's time to talk about the biggest movie since The Rise of Skywalker. Whoa, what? In terms of box office, this made $70 million in its opening US weekend, which is, again,

the biggest since Tross. That atrocity, am I right? Am I right, everybody? I didn't think it was very good. It probably wasn't the worst Star Wars film, but I didn't really like it. Anyway, it's neither here nor there. The Last Jedi, I felt, though, was more representative

of the character of Luke Skywalker than some people give it credit for. At the worldwide box office, F9 has made $404 million. About half of that is in China alone because John Cena bent the knee. You know what I'm bloody talking about? I mean, that's a $200 million apology, right? I see what you're saying. Yeah, okay, right. I sure did.

Yeah, because they could have pulled that film in a heartbeat. I mean, if John Cena said, you know, everybody in Australia is a pack of dumbasses, I'd be like, yeah. Yeah, whatever. Jerry Seinfeld once called Melbourne the anus of the world. Whatever. I didn't date a 17-year-old when I was 38, so what the fuck? What do I know?

I'm still angry about it, Mason. How dare you say that about our great, our great, our great. No, I don't care. I didn't care at the time. I went past a noodle shop in Melbourne quite recently, and there's a sign in the window, and it says, Bill Clinton had two bowls. How many are you going to have?

And I'm like, probably none. Probably none. He's probably done a to have? And I'm like, probably none. Probably none. He's probably done a bunch of stuff that I haven't done and I won't do. I won't do most of the things that Bill Clinton's done. Fair enough. So play cool jazz on a saxophone. Yeah.

That's how you get to the top. That's right. That's how you get to the top. That's how you take no responsibility. Anyways, Mason. Our political opinions will certainly go well with our review of Fast 9. I think people who want a real fun breezy review of the film Fast 9 are really going to.

Maybe I'll leave this one off YouTube. A few of them will be put together. Don't listen to this if you like. I haven't seen F9 yet. I haven't seen any of them. I've gone completely blank. I haven't seen any of the I've gone completely blank I haven't seen any Fast and Furious movies You gotta catch up mate

If you want Like the The trailers obviously spoil a very big plot point But The magnet plane The magnet plane Obviously And the magnet cars

This movie's all about It's the same magnet Mason Was this movie written by the insane clown posse? Maybe But anyway If you don't want to know anything about the movie Don't listen to any of this It's the same magnet, Mason. Was this movie written by the insane clown posse? Maybe. But anyway, if you don't want to know anything about the movie, don't listen to any of this. But what I will say right at the start is that in the first five minutes of the movie, again, without giving anything away,

there is a flashback, like you said, a character, a minor character who's not recurring, so you don't have to worry about it, is in an accident, like a car accident at a stock car racing kind of of like a pre-naz car kind of thing a bathurst a bathurst if you will and and they die yep in the rest of the movie every main character gets into a situation 1 000 times more dangerous and they're fine yeah like when i watch the first i'm like oh my god maybe they're going to introduce some element of danger to this movie. Like, oh, that happened in the we show the realities of car racing and, you know, if you get

in an accident, that's, you know, you can be crippled for life or dead or whatever. But in this, everyone's fine. You're forgetting that's before they acquired the magic amulet that made them invincible. I forgot about the magic amulet! Because that flashback was set before the events of the original Fast and Furious movie. When they got the magic amul outlet that made them immune to all damage.

I also think it's weird that he's called his son Brian when Brian is alive in this universe. I think that's weird. It'd be like if I called my son Nick Mason. It's strange. It's a weird thing to do. And yet you did it. And now every time you're like, Nick Mason, you're in a lot of trouble. I'm like, I knew what I did.

I figured out what I did. Wow. Also I have here, this is from comedian Blaine Kapach. Gotcha. In 2013 I posted a list of all the upcoming Fast and Furious sequels. Let's take a look at the clip. And then he's written 100 Fast and Furious sequel names, which include Fast and Furious 7, Fast Brides for Furious Brothers.

Fast and Furious 8, I Can't Believe I Ate the Whole Furious. Fast and Furious 11, This Time They Drive Trucks. The trucks could be the 11. Yeah. Fast and Furious 15, Far Fur. Fast and Furious 16, The Mystery of the Creepy Campground. Anyway, so on and so forth. I'll just read some of these later.

If you could. Fast gets killed or does he? Probably not, I reckon. Yep. The villain's plan, obviously. They've got the satellite. They've got the truck and then the truck has the signal generator in it. So they've got to stop the truck before it sends all the data

to the satellite. Yeah. And so what they've got is a bunch of magnets that can disrupt signals. Yep, yep. Because earlier they're like, hey, none of our phones are working because of the magnets. Because of magnets. Why don't you just put the magnets on the truck?

I mean, I would. What I would do. I mean, obviously. It doesn't matter if you're invincible. You don't need a plan, Mason. That's true. And also the magic amulet. You just wait until they die, your opponents die of old age.

You just keep driving until they die. I mean, obviously the reason is obviously because it wouldn't be a Fast and the Furious movie if they weren't driving cars. But obviously what you'd do is you'd rent a helicopter, you'd fly it above the truck, you'd drop all the magnets you have on the truck, and then they wouldn't be able to transmit the data. And then when they got out of the truck, you'd shoot them.

That's what you'd do. But then a helicopter isn't a Fast and the Furious vehicle, so you have to have cars and just bang into this invincible truck for a bit until you flip the truck, I guess. Just get a big net and put the magnets on it and drop the net on the truck and then they'd be like, the signal isn't working because of the aforementioned magnets

from earlier, which we were using to disrupt signals. And then they get out of the truck and you shoot them in the head. Yeah, maybe the truck touched the amulet. The amulet, by the way, is not Dom Toretto's cross. It's a different amulet. It's a different amulet. It's like an Egyptian thing. You don truck touched the amulet. The amulet, by the way, is not Dom Toretto's cross. It's a different amulet. It's a different amulet. It's like an Egyptian thing. You don't see the amulet. It's in one of the prequels. Fast and Furious 35,

Fast and Furious meet Frankenstein. Yep, good. Fast and Furious 37, A New Guy's Furious. I'll stop doing this. I'll set it to you later. Please don't. Okay. Well, well, well. If it isn't time for a movie review. Yes.

Do you feel it's that time? I feel it's absolutely that time, yeah. So Space Jam, Lights and Noise. The follow-up, the hot follow-up, I should say, coming 25 years later after the smash hit. Screaming into cinemas. That's right. And home streaming or whatever.

Or whatever. It cost $150 million. Starring the king himself, LeBron James. Mm-hmm. I just want to quickly point out as well, so I watched New Space Jam and just today with my son this afternoon, it was a rainy day. So you've watched it twice, you're saying?

Back up. All right. You're saying this is your favourite movie and you love it. That's what I was saying, yeah. Okay, cool. I might have a different opinion by the end, but at this point that's what I'm saying. Okay, great.

So it was a rainy day. We're now in lockdown again, hopefully for not too long. Hopefully forever. Hopefully. We're like, let's watch a movie. Oh, yeah. And he's starting up some basketball. Okay, yeah.

We land on Space Jam. I'm like, this is Bugs Bunny playing basketball. And he's like, yes. Guess what? Does he know who Bugs Bunny is? Yes, because he's watched one of the animated movies. Like Mac and Action. Yeah, but no, one of the early ones.

You know one where they compile a bunch of stuff? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And he's seen them at the start of like old movies. Like Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. And he's seen them on your boxer shorts. Exactly. My silk boxer shorts that I wear. But he loved it.

Interesting. Like just loved it. Yeah, yeah. Just couldn't get wear. But he loved it. Interesting. Like just loved it. Yeah, yeah. Just couldn't get past how much he loved it. The idea of like monster aliens playing cartoons and I'm explaining who Michael Jordan is and he's like, this guy can't play basketball, he quit. Like he's just like into it.

He's like, how could this be? But I'm like, don't worry about it. He's probably still retained a lot of that basketball information. Yeah, yeah. And he has. And't worry about it. He's probably still retained a lot of that basketball information. Yeah, yeah. And he has. And he really enjoyed it. Would you say, though, that your son has absolute garbage taste in me? Not always.

Okay. Though he does think that new Power Rangers, I mean, sorry, Power Rangers is better than new Voltron, even though he's never seen Power Rangers. And I'm like, you are wrong. And he's like, you're wrong. And I'm like, you've never seen Power Rangers. You don't even know.

But he's got the opinion there better. Yeah. Okay, right, right, right. Yeah. But so I thought that was interesting. Yeah. And I also showed him the trailer for this new one and he's like, looks legit.

Oh, wait. I thought you meant the. No, we watched the old one. And then I showed him the trailer for the new one. Okay, right, right. Because I'm like, I cannot watch this again because it's bad. It's a bad movie, I think. It's one of the worst movies I think I've seen this year,

maybe over the run of this podcast, I think. Jesus, really? I think it had some redeeming qualities. So the one proviso when we talk about this, there are definitely people who are like, well, you think this movie sucks but it's not for you. Agreed. And I would agree to some level.

But I would also argue that the people who made this movie were like, we've got to have a four-quadrant movie. We've got to have all the demographics interested in this. Basketball, Game of Thrones, Sexy Rabbits and The Matrix. The four quadrants. Mason texted me sexy rabbits earlier, by the way. I didn't. I said sexy The Matrix.

The grandma. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because, okay, so for people who haven't seen it, obviously, all the pop culture characters are at the basketball game. But also Algy Rhythm. Yes. Terrible name also. Algorithm, by the way, for people who don't know. Also terrible name.

His ultimate product is called Warner 3000. That's the best you could do, is it? The best. Wow, incredible. Because 2000 has already happened, I guess. Yeah, you can't. Can't call something 2000 anymore. This makes it timeless, or at least until the year 3000.

Yeah, has Algie Rhythm terrible name? Has he also taken some real-life basketball players and he's turned them into monsters? Yeah, so he's scanned popular NBL and W – not NBL. He's got Andrew Gaze. He's got Andrew Gaze. And Andrew Gaze's dad, the coach. Yeah, he's got male and female players.

Yeah, right. And there's the brow and a guy who's a clock. But he can't stop the granny who knows the Matrix. Two Matrix references in this. She does two Matrixes, Mason! Just, I don't mind a reference to something, but it's just when it's just, here's the thing. Yeah.

Here's just the thing that happened in the movie, but you've put a granny in there. I hate it. It sucks. It's no good. It's really bad thing that happened in the movie, but you've put a granny in there. I hate it. It sucks. It's no good. It's really bad what they've done there. It's crook what they've done, James. Here's something that I know you loved.

Wookiee Pig doing a rap? That was exactly what I was going to say, because not only does he do a rap, I didn't realise this from the context of the clip that we saw, but he does it for style points in the game. Hell, yeah, he does. He gets lots of points and then they do a little dance afterwards. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's only brief, but it's really good. It does feel like an algorithm made this. Algae Rhythm. Algae Rhythm, terrible name. It's the worst name. Don't you reckon though? Yeah, it does. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah. And that's the thing because there's no, it's not even like there's any sly digs at the idea of, you know, Warner Brothers has run out of ideas and they're just burning through IP. If they put some of that in there, that's what I want, is I want just some people being like, you've run out of ideas? What I also thought was interesting was you're putting in the Looney Tunes, but once it gets to the game, they're sort of in it,

but that doesn't feel like they're really involved in it. You know what I mean? And I guess they're technically in it and they've got new designs and they're CGI. But when he's like, I'm going to get Superman, I'm going to get King Kong, maybe you should. Maybe that should be the movie. Sure.

You know? Yeah. I just think wouldn't that be interesting as well to be like my team is just filled with like Ben Affleck is on this team as Batman. Nice. Imagine that. Just a series of Ben Afflecks. Smoking Ben Affleck. Yep, that's right.

Vaping Ben Affleck. Chasingoking Ben Affleck. Yep, that's right. Vaping Ben Affleck. Chasing Amy Ben Affleck. Yep. Eating a hamburger on his doorstep, Ben Affleck. Big back tattoo at the beach, Ben Affleck. There's your team, I think. I'm trying to think of a title. I don't know.

I'm trying to think of a space jam, Ben Affleck. I don't know. There's a title in there and I don't know what it is. Somebody think of a poster idea. Okay. Mason, you do it. I know. We should workshop it during the week.

Okay, cool. Is that it? I'll send you hundreds of texts. Also, I know people often say you're too easy on things. Why do you like this thing and whatever? You're easy on this. This is why. Because this is what I like save it for.

This is what I hate. Yeah. Stuff like this, you know? Yeah, I agree. So when something comes out and I'm like, yeah, whatever. You know, Bloodshot comes out and I'm like, whatever. This is why. Yeah.

You know what I mean? I didn't try at all. It's, it's, it's. Yeah. Anyway. Horrible. Let's go to the next. Well, I loved it, quite frankly.

I loved this movie. Anyways, Mason, it's time to talk about Jungle Cruise. If I can make a request for. We're the Jungle Cruise boys. Boys. If I can make a request for Weekly Planet posters, Jungle Cruise, but everybody's Tom Cruise in the poster. Oh, okay. Sure, sure, sure.

You don't have to do it either. Okay. Yeah. What about Jungle Cruise? All hands on deck. We're doing the mummy again. Not just the mummy though. Pirates of the Caribbean, Dead Man's Chest specifically

and a little bit of Indiana Jones. A little bit of Hercules, I thought. Legendary Journeys? No, the other one. The one the rock was in. Xena for Warrior Princess? No. Hercules.

Young Hercules. Disney with Ryan Gosling. That one the one the rock was zina for warrior princess no hercules young hercules disney young hercules with ryan gosling that's the one yes but it's a bit of a family tale i guess well it's more of a pg-13 situation i don't know if i will show my son this you can pay for it on premiere disney access and you bloody pay for it mate that's bloody time you spend watching this bloody 215 bloody minutes made of my right my son of a bloody right what do you think the story was uh okay hang on all. All right. Okay, so there's Emily Blunt. She's a lady. Yeah. She's a lady.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. She's a lady. She's not like other ladies, though. Why? She's a willful woman, James. And she has pants. She's a doctor and she's wearing a trouser. Yes.

Can you imagine wearing a trouser? I wouldn't dare. No. I wear this kilt all the time. I wear this utility kilt because of how interesting I am. James, ask me how interesting I am. I don't want to ask you. Ask me how interesting I am.

How interesting? I'm very interesting. That's why I wear this kilt. It's got pockets on. It's got all the pockets. It's like a pair of cargo pants, but it's got some air in the middle. You just got your keys jangling into your balls. I don't want to know about it, Mason.

It's not interesting. What? Wow, I've got to tell my friends in the Utila Kilt Club that this isn't interesting. In fact, weird. Anyway, she's a willful woman. People don't like her, but she's got a mission. She's a doctor in something.

Do people not like her because her and her brother are awful or is that the reason I mean maybe she's it's probably all the violence she visits upon them she hits a lot of people

they're like hey what are you doing in here and she's like I'm doing violence on you I've actually come to stab you with a spear I mean not you specifically but you're here

and I have this spear now this is your workplace and I've come into your workplace and you're like what am I doing in your workplace? The answer is violence on you for daring to be in your own workplace and perhaps trying to stop me doing violence on another person. P.S. I'm doing violence on that guy also.

This is just all day for me. Yeah. It's technically my job, I guess. I'm from money. I don't give a shit. Is she? Is that a deal? I don't know.

Yeah, it's tough to say. It's tough to say because any time you do one of these past, whenever you do one of these weird period pieces that are sort of, like it's this, you know, rose-coloured glasses past kind of thing, everybody's got like, well, I've got 25 steamer trunks full of things to go on the jungle cruise. But it's like did every. Didn't you not?

Are you nobility or does everybody. Does your family kick you out or something? Yeah, what's going on here? I don't know. Anyway she wants to go into the into the deep

forest jungle. She wants to do the mummy. Yeah she wants to do some she wants to get some research for science. It's also How's she going to get down the jungle

the river though? How's she going to do a jungle cruise? She's going to get the rock for jungle cruise and also Jack Whitehall's there. That's right. Anyway let's talk box office for this Suicide Squad.

It cost $185 million. That's a chunk of change. Now, I hope you would make $30 million at the box office this weekend, but it looks like it's only going to make about $25.7 million. At this point, we don't know the HBO, or however other people say H in other countries. Every time I say it, people are like, you say H funny. Yeah, well, fucking shut up.

How about that? I feel I say it different every time. What's the other way to say it? H and H. H, H. Well, it starts with H, so it shouldn't be H, should it? Oh. Should it?

H. Don't know. Anyways, I saw this interesting article about why this movie might not be doing so well. Is this just a photograph of snake tails? Don't tell me what I have in front of me, Mason, whether or not that to be true or not. This is just footrott flats. The tail of a New Zealand farmer and his dog or whatever that cartoon was.

Yeah. This is by Scott Mendelsohn on Forbes, and the headline is Box Office Suicide Squad 2 Gets Tomb Raider Trapped with Poor $12.2 Million Friday. What does that mean? I saw that headline and I'm like, I'm just going to explain it. If I were to read it, it would explain it to me, is what you're saying.

You know, James Gunn would get it first go, is all I'm saying. But anyway. He's seen a lot of movies, though. Yeah, as I can tell. He can tell us that, too. What I thought was really good about this, despite being over two hours,

I thought it was paced really well. Like a lot of the times when I see movies, I feel like a common complaint is I come out and I'm like, there's about 15 minutes too much on this. Your common complaint, because I've seen a lot of movies with you, is you come out and you're like, I didn't get this. No, no, I understand literally every movie I've ever seen. But that's not what you say.

I saw Donnie Darko, the director's cut, and I went, that makes less sense than the other cut. But actually, for me, it made more sense. Whoa. That's what i said to the poster of donnie darko in my room but that's because you saw it and then i had to draw a diagram of the movie for like i instantly came out of the movie and i drew a diagram of the movie for you and then you're like oh i kind of get it i remember you showing me that diagram but it was just a paper like smeared in shit and i just went oh very good yeah i see what you've done here. Wow. So, you know.

Wow. If anybody understands movies. And then you're like, well, we've got to keep the secret. And then you crumble it up and you ate it. Which I think was too far. But it's okay, James, because what was on there was the true explanation of the movie Donnie Darko, which is what I said. But if it's what you said, then what you did then is you just ate a piece of paper with poo on it.

So what is it, James? What is it? Huh? Oh, this is a verbal chokehold. You're going to tap out or what? Tap out. What are we talking about? Like all DC films, and by all, I mean not many,

The Suicide Squad has a couple of post-credits scenes that you can stick around for. Now, you may or may not be aware that Peacemaker is getting an eight-episode HBO series and expect to see the series in January of 2022, barring no unforeseen delays. I mean, if it is delayed, it will have been foreseen, really, you know, COVID. You know, the big pandemic that's happening all of the time.

So if you haven't already, get vaccinated if you can, and maybe things won't keep getting delayed. That's all I'm saying. Now you might be thinking, but James, you're wrong. I looked into it and the science in some cases actually points, no, you're're wrong the information you are working with is incorrect now i do understand however if you are one of the few people who can't get vaccinated for legitimate medical reasons and i'm so sorry that must be incredibly frustrating you know that feeling like the world is moving on without you but you know for everybody else out there get vaccinated and if you are unsure of any potential side effects specific to you, please chat with a qualified medical professional. It's okay to ask questions. In fact,

I encourage it. But then get fucking vaccinated. Yeah, but vaccines don't even work. You can still get COVID if you wear a mask and you are vaccinated. I know. This is a known fact. People know this. It does, however, greatly decrease your chance of dying or suffering any long-term side effects or perhaps passing it on to others. But total elimination of the virus only happens when a certain number of the population gets vaccinated. Yeah, but James, I'm a person who actually agrees with you. I just think using this aggressive tactic to belittle people who disagree with you is doing more harm- I don't give a shit! I'm sick of this fucking pandemic!

I want to travel and cartwheel and go to bars and shit! I'm sick of movies being delayed! 30 delayed Clifford the Big Red Dog! I mean, I wasn't going to see it, but that's a bad sign! And in the latest trailer for Venom 2, let there be another redder Venom, the release date was stripped. What does that mean?

That's not a good sign! That's not good. Sony doesn't have a distribution platform for the likes of Spider-Man Far From Home, Nope, No Way Home, whatever it's called. And I want to see that movie. Do you want it to be pushed to mid next year or even beyond that? Is that what you want? Fuck. Anyways, we have this podcast. It's called The Weekly Planet where we talk movies and comics and TV shows, which comes out every Monday. Yeah, but James, I'm giving this a thumbs down and I'm leaving forever because you got political. Good fucking kick rocks, dipshit. How's that polio working out for you that you never had?

Anyways, I am. I'm sorry for yelling. I'm going to calm down. I'm just going to move past. You know what? I'm not sorry. Get vaccinated. Anyways, now we needed a big topic to come in on.

You know what I mean? If we're doing episode 400, we don't fuck around here. We're like, let's do it properly. You know what I mean? Yeah, that's right. Yeah. So we thought, go big and then go home. Then go home.

Yeah. And what better way to go big than to go through all the major comic book characters that have had solo movies and pick their best movie. Some of these are going to be easy. Yep. Captain Marvel. Yep. Captain Marvel. Could be Endgame. I guess. We'll talk about it.

Solo movies. No, but let's say I think it should be movies that they're in. Okay, sure, sure, sure. And I think it also should be. I've got a bunch of stipulations on my brain. Yeah, you would, wouldn't you? But I think it also should be. No freewheeling for this guy. If I've learned something in 390 episodes, because I've been on 400 episodes and he's only been on 390 episodes. What I've learned is this guy loves his stipulations.

I'm like, what about this fun time thing? He's like, not within the rules. I've got a rule I just invented. Classic Aussie. Thinks he's a bloody larrikin, but he's a cop, is what he is. This guy. That is very Aussie. A lot of people don't know that.

They think a lot of Ozzy's are larrikins. Just a bunch of fucking nerds, mate. Just rule-following nerds. The lot of them. Bunch of fucking rats, mate. We're sighted for episode 400. You're a rat, stop listening, you rat. But I'm not even joking.

Our society is built around fucking shit like that. Just look at a parking sign. Figure it out. You can't do it. You can't. They're too complicated. Bureaucracy. Yeah.

But I think, like, you could say, like, their best movie. They might be in a movie that's not the best movie, but they're the best version of them in it. Okay, great. So you might say, for example, like you said, Captain Marvel, the best version of Captain Marvel we might decide on is in Endgame, even though she's not in it that much, and even if you think Captain Marvel is better than Endgame,

which it is not. Maybe you think she's got her best hair in Endgame. I would never say that. Really? Ridiculous. I think it's good hair, though. It's a wig. If you're going to do it properly, shave it. That's one of your rules.

If it's a wig, you're out. Your performance is automatically defunct if it's not your natural hair. So all of Captain America's appearance is basically a wig. Except for the first one. Okay, right. All of Doctor Strange's are wigs. Wow. So you're going to print out all the forms that I have to fill in to do this episode?

That's right. Printing them off right now? Great. Anyway, I thought we'll start big and let's do Superman. Okay. Which encompasses, again, I know, and no animated because that's a whole other thing. Okay, sure. Because I would have said all-star Superman probably.

Yeah, exactly. So we could do Superman 1 to 4 including the Donner cast. Okay. We could do Superman Returns, Man of Steel, Batman v Superman or Justice League. Okay, right. What do you think is the best representation of Superman out of all of those things? I think it's maybe Richard Donner Superman too. I think you might be right.

Richard Donner can't. I mean, they're not all going to be as cut and dried. And it also depends on do you like Superman fighting a big robot computer? I don't. For example. Or just a woman turns into a horrible robot and he's going to fight the horrible robot and he gives you nightmares as a child.

Maybe that's your criteria for a good Superman. Maybe you see it again as an adult. You're like, let's see if this robot, let's see if I'm scared of it now. Oh, I am still. Boy, this list is very long. We can speed through these. Yeah, definitely. But let's move forward.

Okay, and also, if you were including TV series, obviously it would be Tyler Herklin in Superman. Yeah, that was, oh, yeah. It's probably that, actually. But we're not including TV series. No, we can. Because some of these people, like Daredevil has a TV series, which I think we should include.

All right. It probably is Superman and Lois said, right? I mean, the Richard Donner cut of Superman 2, like it does really encompass over like two hours, like the epitome of Superman. And it also changes like he's less mean than he is in the other. I mean, he still beats up that dude in the diner. That's true.

And I think also you'd have to look at that movie from the era that it was made. Like if you modernized it, you kept everything in it, but you modernized it, it would probably easily be the best one. Yeah. I would imagine. Is that a rule? I don't know, man. You're the rules master.

You put on your rules master hat and cloak. You're holding your rule scepter. I have to. Yeah. Are you noting these down or scepter. I have to. Yeah. Are you noting these down or are you? Do I have to? No, I mean, if we're going to determine what the best one is. Are we doing that at the end, are we?

Just one. We're just going to pick one. All right. I can do that off the top of my head. I'll just say The Dark Knight because it will stop people complaining. It'll stop the most amount of people complaining about me. Captain Marvel. So we had Captain Marvel, but she's in Infinity War in post-credits.

Wait, is she? Yeah. She comes at the end. No, she comes at the end. Oh, what's the movie she comes in at the end of? And Thor's there. And she's like, what's up? Oh, yeah.

Maybe it's not Infinity War. I don't think it is Infinity War because at the end of Infinity War, everybody turns to dust. You're right. Is it Ant-Man? Yeah, it might be Ant-Man. Okay, but are we including Captain Marvel? No, maybe...

You know what? I think it's at the end of Captain Marvel. Yeah, it is, yeah. So they're separate movies, are they, James, according to your rules? Captain Marvel in the end of Captain Marvel? Shut up, Mason. Are we including Captain Marvel in pager form only?

Look, I think Endgame is a better movie. Yep. But they clearly hadn't worked that character out yet and it was clearly filmed before they did Captain Marvel. And she's not really a character in it. It's like you don't really know anything about her other than she's from space and she punches Thanos in the head, which is cool, but I don't think it's a great representation of that character.

She's more fun in her own movie, shockingly, as opposed to the five minutes she's in. That is shocking. Yeah, yeah. But anyway, I'm going to give the award to Captain Marvel in the form of Barcode Battler, which is one of those little things. Do you remember Barcode Battler? What's that?

It was like a Pokemon thing. He scanned barcodes. Okay. He got a monster. Well, I'm going to give it to the Dark Knight. Okay. For Heath Ledger's performance alone. Terrific. He's great in that. Cool. Good stuff. Anyway, I want to talk about the beach to The Dark Knight. Okay. For Heath Ledger's performance alone. Terrific.

He's great in that. Cool. Good stuff. Anyway, I want to talk about the beach that makes you old. Okay. Parentheses. Excuse me, what? Old?

Do you want to talk about old? Parentheses. Let's stand around in circles and talk about theories about maybe what's happening on this beach that makes you old. And the jobs that we have. Yeah. Oh, boy. So this is M. Night Shyamalan.

Yes, he's back. He's back and he's in this movie. A bit. Quite a bit. What do you think the story was? Oh, jeez. Well, it's based on a graphic novel which I didn't read. Sandcastles or something?

Something like that. So it's not a – is this M. Night Shyamalan's first thing that he hasn't written? That's a great question. Isn't it though? Last Airbender probably not. Oh, yeah, he didn't write Last Airbender. That makes sense.

He might have written the script but he didn't. I wouldn't. To the best of my knowledge he didn't. I wouldn't say that I did that. To the best of my knowledge he didn't invent the concept of Avatar The Last Airbender. I think he did. Oh, that's great.

Yeah. Good on him. Anyway, there's a family. Yep. And they go to – they're like, oh, we found this holiday spot. Yeah. I believe the line is, can you believe I found this online? Where else would you have found it?

Don't you think, like, it would be weirder if you didn't. If you're like, can you believe I found, like, a book in a forest? Then I'd be like, that is weird, yeah. Can you believe we touched this isotope? We were transported to this holiday destination. Yeah, so they heard about this beach. They heard about this resort. They go to the resort and they're welcomed to the resort

and there's other people there. It's got White Lotus vibes if you watch that show. And then the, what do you call it? What's the guy? Is it a hotel? Concierge? Concierge. He's like, hey.

Hotel management. Tell you this much. Why don't you go to a beach? What's the guy? Is it a hotel? Concierge? Concierge. He's like, hey. Hotel management. Tell you this much. Why don't you go to a beach? It's a special secret beach. I don't tell everybody about it, but you can go to the beach if you want. And then they go to the beach with a bunch of other people. Yep. Turns out it's a beach that makes you old.

But how does it make you old? The rocks. The rocks are magic, I think. I want to do spoilers because we know what it is. It's about a beach that makes you old. Can we talk? No, let's. We don't have to do spoilers just yet. Why not? Because I just want to make fun of it without spoiling it is. It's about a beach that makes you old. Can we talk? No, let's. We don't have to do spoilers just yet.

Why not? Because I just want to make fun of it without spoiling it yet. Okay. But just so you know, you would know. We're going to cover about how it makes people old. Yeah, we are. Don't worry about that. If you think, folks, that we're not going to cover why this beach makes you old,

if you think we're not going to do that, we're going to review this entirely without telling you how the beach makes you old. If you think we're not going to do that, we're going to review this entirely without telling you how the beach makes you old. I thought this was so funny. But not intentionally, right? Some of it. But, like, even the opening parts where, like, they're with the families in the van together and she's like,

man, I love your voice. I can't wait until you grow up and I get to hear what your voice is like when you grow up. Don't let life pass you by. Exactly. Let's savor every moment and not get old. Look how big you guys are getting. You're not too big.

Don't go to a beach that makes you old. I had such a fun time, though. Yeah. It's so fun. And just so they find a dead body. Wait, are we spoilers? Yeah, spoilers. Best movie ever.

Best movie ever. I loved it. I loved it, Mason. The beach that makes you old. Let's all get on the beach that makes you old. That was a big noise, wasn't it? I had a, Mason. The bitch that makes you old. Let's all get on the bitch that makes you old. That was a big noise, wasn't it? I had a big noise. What was that?

It's probably people coming to your door to applaud how good this podcast is. Just a mob of people with torches and pitchforks. We love this. Kill him. Sorry, this seems threatening. Excellent. Yes. Next week, maybe GI Joe Snake, guys, in passing.

I don't know if I'll have that much to say about it, to be honest, or if I'll even watch it. Or we'll figure something else out. We've got a bunch of topics that I'll line up. Maybe we should do a deep dive on Paramount+. The streaming service we don't have. I don't want to do that. I keep seeing an ad that has Warburg on it.

After Infinite. Infinite. And it's just in a leather jacket. He's holding a samurai sword. Every time I see it, my brain goes, you're saying I'm some kind of samurai from Japan? No. I don't even like sushi.

That happens every time. He wouldn't like sushi. That's what he would say. That's what he would say. He wouldn't like it. Oh, my God. It's time to get absolutely fucking off our fucking domes, Mason, because it's-

Dome. That's the dome air horn. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's DC Fandome Megadome time or whatever. That's right. The weird nothing void is back. Well, we're in it, James.

Which celebrities have- Some would say this is from last year, but we're still in it. We're still in it. We never left. We weren't in lockdown. We're in the void. I can't escape the gravity well. I'm full of gold.

Anyway, let's talk about video games. We've got two reveals, two more trailers. Go on. No gameplay, but it does look like in-game engine stuff. Both Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad, they're going to beat up the Justice League. Now, to reiterate, Gotham Knights is the one that looks like a sequel to the Arkham games, but it isn't a sequel to the Arkham games,

but it kind of is. And then Suicide Squad, Kill the Justice League. Might be a sequel. Might be set in the Arkham universe. I don't know. Or maybe they're both yet. But it ultimately doesn't matter. No, it really doesn't.

They share a lot of characters and concepts. Both are coming 2022. The Gotham Knights one is definitely more Arkham game. Now, those guys did Arkham Origins. Yeah. And I'm interested to see what they do with a game that's, like, entirely their own. You know, they don't have to, like, build it into the previous city and lore. That's true.

And they don't have to go, okay, well, the character needs to end here because the next game is technically Arkham Asylum. So he has to look a certain way. Yeah. And his character has to be developed a certain way. They can just go, okay, this is post that universe in a way. Yeah, in a way. So we can develop the characters however we want, which I think is interesting. And I think, look, that game is a weaker Arkham game, but I think there's the lack of polish

on a lot of it because it feels a bit rushed. But there's some amazing boss fights and everything. And like mechanically, it's pretty good. Like it's a pretty good game. And there's a Vita port of it. And let me tell you, it's not that good. I played it for a little bit and it's just not very good, Mason. It just didn't really work for me.

I've still got it. Is it on a cartridge, a little chip or something? That's right. I can see it from here. It's right there. It's on a little chip. You should break it now. Oh, Mason, I want to keep it.

You should eat it. I want to keep it. You should swallow it. I'll eat it. You think I won should eat it. I want to keep it. You should swallow it. I'll eat it. You think I won't eat it? I think you won't. Do you reckon DC will cut me open for a Vita game? Maybe.

For a Vita copy of Archimoges? When it's the only copy left, maybe. So Batman is dead in Gotham Knights. He's not, though. He's definitely not. He's not. He's in an owl mask probably later. He's probably in an owl mask.

He's probably like, who's this guy we're fighting who knows all our moves and stuff? Where do I recognise this fighting from? I wish Batman was here because he can take this guy real easy. Because it seems like they're evenly matched in skill and strength. All of us have the same voice in this group. This guy's got a Batman costume on too. That's just rude, quite frankly. Because I ripped the front of his shirt and he had a Batman costume underneath it.

What's going on? Which Batman were here? I saw him take the mask off and he took a moment to look at himself in the mirror and it almost looked like he was contemplating who he really was. I wish Batman was here, though. Anyway. Anyway, that's some classic Batgirl style dialogue

from the game Gotham Knights. Oh, mate, and this is, I think, what's the biggest reveal, and I cannot wait to get your opinion. Did you see the hat? Whose hat? There is a Cam Newton. Who's that? Who announced today that his hat company, Mashika?

No. No hats companies? No. Have partnered with DC to create. I'm familiar with hat companies. That's what I thought. A Cobra. Yep. Baseball hats. Kangol. hat companies. That's what I thought. A Cobra. Yep.

Baseball hats. Kangol. Kangol, that's a good one. Anyways, partnered with DC to create an official Superman hat. Okay. Starting at the price of $750. Here it is. Wow.

Wow. Wow. Look, if I... Please, describe it. Okay. It's... I don't know if it's a fedora. No, if I... Please, describe it. Okay. It's... I don't know if it's a fedora. No, it is.

Is it? Okay. So it's like a flat-brimmed fedora kind of thing. Yep. With a big crown. It's like a royal blue. It's like a Superman blue. Yes.

With a red hat band on it. And then maybe like a tabbed thing at the back, some sort of. But then it's got a Superman logo just on the front of it. Yes. Like on the crown. Can I show you as well? If you scoot your cross. That's the inside.

Oh, it's got a satin lining. A satin Superman logo. It's got like a brown sweatband in it, but then it's got like a blue satin lining with a red Superman logo in it, like a modern, quite a modern logo, like a Man of Steel style logo. And it's $750, isn't it? Yeah, it's $750. And you can also get it in a black.

Whoa, black suit Superman. That looks like, I mean. It's just a black hat. It's just a black hat. I mean, it's got a Clark Kent press pass on it. I'm assuming you can take that out, but I hope to God it's sewed in. And if you unpick it, the whole hat collapses. It's like a Deadman switch.

And you've wasted $750. I mean, you already had. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The gall to be like, is $750 right? If you got the blue one and you unpick the logo, you could effectively cosplay as like a Dick Tracy villain, I think. I guess you could. It's got that vibe and that colour scheme.

But you couldn't unpick it because the hat would fall apart. It's the safety feature in it, yeah. Is it like a felt? Is it like a fur? I guess it is, yeah. That's all the description I have of it. Okay, right. But it is $750.

Apparently they're handcrafted as well. Does that mean anything to you? Yeah, no, that's all the description I have of it. Okay, right. But it is $750. Apparently they're handcrafted as well. Does that mean anything to you? Yeah, no, that makes sense, yeah. A hand-blocked hat. If I bought a hat for $750, it would look better than that, I reckon. Yeah. Like something I would want to wear and not put in a glass case and people come around and go, what's that?

And I have to explain an embarrassing story where I bought a $750 hat. Yeah, you're like, this is a Superman hat. And people go, I don't know much about Superman, but I don't think he wears a hat. And, you're like, this is a Superman hat. And people go, I don't know much about Superman, but I don't think he wears a hat. And you'd be like, Clark Kent's a reporter. And it's like. Yeah, but he doesn't wear a hat with Superman logo on it. Yeah, why that would reveal.

It's a weird novelty hat for a man. And I mean, modern Clark Kent wear a hat currently? No, he doesn't. And if he did, it might be a baseball cap or something. Yeah, exactly. And somebody's like punches the top of the hat. You know what I mean? Like squashes the hat down. Oh, be a baseball cap or something? Yeah, exactly. And then somebody just like punches the top of the hat. You know what I mean? Like squashes the hat down.

Oh, like a big bully or something. Yeah. Yeah, right, right, right. Mad. Okay. How much? $700 is what I paid for it. I was going to say, for me to get that hat.

Yeah. What do you think? Should I get it? Yeah. Yeah. Should I get it though? No. Should I get it?

Yeah. As a joke, as a prank. Yeah, as a fun prank. Yeah, yeah, yeah it though? No. Should I get it? Yeah. As a joke, as a prank. Yeah, as a fun prank. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. And leave the price tag on, I think. Yeah. 100% beaver fur.

Great, I guess. Yeah. I mean, that's your hat. That's your handmade hat. That's what they make them out of. Beavers? Yeah. The tail or like they use the whole beaver?

That's fur. Is there teeth in there? Yeah, there's teeth in there. Gives you a little tickle on your head. Helps you know you're alive. I know I'm alive. I don't need a beaver tickle in my head, Mason. So that's fine.

Okay, here we go. Two Marvel movies in a week. My goodness. My goodness. So we're going to talk about The Eternals now on a $200 million budget. And I'll tell you bloody what, with a lot of these movies, you can see every dollar on screen, Mason. I'll tell you that much.

Oh, yeah. It's going to have, they they reckon a US box office opening of around 75 million dollars we are recording this before the Monday obviously and Sunday yeah yeah so like that could go a different direction if it does go a different direction we'll tell you about it but not on this episode because we don't know yet maybe next episode yeah so they got to remind us please send us a tweet mail. And then 150 million worldwide. I think what might work against this is, first of all, the low review scores and it's getting kind of a –

there are positive – like there is positive word of mouth, but it's not like – Chong Chi, I feel like, got like a big kind of push. I feel this has positive word of mouth but with some caveats. Sure. I haven't seen a very positive thing that isn't like, I liked it but. Well, I like when you tell us what the story was. Oh, nice.

Okay, so these guys, these are mortals, right? They're from a crazy planet from other side of the universe probably, I don't know. Yeah. And they're on earth and they're like, hey, we're going to help humanity realize their full potential. We've got to get rid of these deviants. Look at these monsters that are coming at the humans.

Get out of here, deviants. I don't like it. You get out of here. We'll zap you. You can't do zaps. We'll do zaps. We'll zap you. Some of us can zap.

Zap. Get out of here. But then they get rid of all the deviants, but they're like, we should go home. But our bosses are like, we're Celestials. We'll tell you when you can go home, but not yet. You're not going anywhere. You're on the clock.

So we'll just hang out on Earth for a bit. But then deviants come back. Have they come back? We'll never tell. We'll tell in spoilers. We'll tell you in spoilers how they come back. We'll never tell. Why didn't they stop Thanos?

Why didn't they stop Thanos? You could have stopped Thanos. Why did you stop Thanos? You could have stopped Thanos. Why did you stop Thanos? I would have stopped Thanos. Good movie. That's right. And that is the whole thing. Next week, don't know yet.

the true fans no we're never going to do Snake Eyes ever. No matter how many times we promote, are we going to do Snake Eyes because I've heard it's not very good. And they're never going to make another G.I. Joe movie so we don't even have to watch it for anything in preparation. That's right because we already did the other G.I. Joe movies. It's a shame because I like Henry Golding.

I think he's very charming. I agree. He'd make a better Bond than he would a Snake Eyes, probably. I've never seen the movie Snake Eyes and I never will.

And it's also coming to streaming, which is great because then I don't have to go and see Venom. Is that we're also going to do Snake Eyes next week. That's true.

We promised we were going to do it this week. We ran out of time. We're definitely going to do it next week. We ran out of time and interest to do Venom. Snake Eyes. Yeah, that one. Snakes have Venom. Snakes have Venom.

I don't know if you were aware of that. I think they're poisonous. I think you'll find. No, it is Venom. Yeah, that is correct. You have to. I'm here. I'm about to record a podcast.

I'm feeling good about it. You're feeling good about it. Is it because it's Venom Week? Well, it was nearly Snake Eyes Week. That's true. We promised we'd do Snake Eyes this week. We had to push it. Then we forgot that Carnage the Big Red Venom is debuting this week

and probably several weeks ago, more months ago in other countries. It also came to streaming. Oh, yeah, that's true. Yeah. Sorry to all G.I. Joe fans out there. We hate to do this to you again. Look, we will do Snake Eyes next week. Yes, definitely.

Snake Eyes Origins. It's on the agenda. We've put it on the whiteboard. Yep. It's coming up. It's not something we want to skip out on. No, that's true. It's a disservice to the IP of

Hasbro's G.I. Joe. Yeah, exactly. And we're not here to brand slam, are we, Mason? I mean, you know, DMC of the hip-hop group Run DMC did not go on the most recent Hasbro Pulse

convention situation and did a rap about how much he loves Hasbro for us to not cover a Hasbro product on this podcast. Is that true? Yes. I'm pretty certain I saw it. Yeah. And look, and it seems like also they're probably getting enough publicity

this week if that happened. You know, they've already gone viral. Do they need us at this point to promote G.I. Joe's Snake Eyes origins? G.I. Snake Eyes. No, if anything, if anything, we'd probably bring them down. Yeah, and that's not what we want. We want to give it some breathing room. Anyway, so we are going to talk about Venom 2 Carnage Gonna Carnage this week.

That's right. The sequel to the very successful Venom from, let's say, 2018. Sure. Might not be, though. The past, the before times. Yes. Back when. Movies were movies.

Movies were movies. And men were men. Men were men. What do you think the story was? Okay, Venom. Yep. Venom, he came to Earth in the last one, didn't he? Yep.

Or maybe he was already on Earth. And he bonded with. I didn't re-watch first Venom. No, neither did I. And he bonded with one Mr. Edward Brock. Yeah. And they don't get along, but they do get along. Edward Brockalock.

Edward Broccoli. Heir to the Broccoli family fortune. Yes, yes, yes. Yes. But not the Broccoli family you're thinking of. No, that's a different family. Yeah. Sorry, go on.

And then they had to fight a different Venom last time. Yeah. In the previous movie. There was another Venom and he's like, I'll get you Venom for reasons I'm mad at you. We're all going to fly up to this comet that has Venoms on it. That's right. And we're going to bring the comet to Earth maybe

and cover the planet in Venoms. Something like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But this time there's a different Venom. Is there? Another Reda Venom. A Reda Venom. That's right. You're absolutely right. Oh, man. I hate talking different Venom. Is there? Another Redder Venom. A Redder Venom. That's right. You're

absolutely right. Oh man, I hate talking about Venom too. Because I don't ever, what do you say? Right? It's like a stiff breeze. I'm going to check very briefly. I'm just going to check the Planet Broadcasting Great Mates Facebook group. For? To see if anybody has any opinions on Venom.

I don't think anybody will, Mason. I'm Venom and my name is Venom. Where do I live, Venom? I blew my nose on this towel. I'm Venom. Where am I going? I'm Venom. Something, something, something.

I'm Venom. I'm having chocolate because it's in the comics. I'm Venom. I'm not funny enough I'm having chocolate because it's in the comics. I'm Venom. I'm not funny enough to be a comedy. This action is whatever. Wow. It's the cabaret of superhero movies.

It's not a good enough action movie to be a – the action's not good enough to be a full-fledged action movie. The comedy's not good enough for it to be an actual comedy. That's a shame. You got any arguments against that? Nope. Exactly. Yeah. Next week, Snake comedy. That's a shame. You got any arguments against that? Nope. Exactly. Yeah. Next week, Snake Eyes.

Ah, that's right. G.I. Joe presents Hasbro. Pulse presents DMC from Run DMC. Does a rap about how much he loves Hasbro stuff. We love Hasbro. It's probably Snake Eyes. We love Snake Eyes. I can't wait to talk about Snake Eyes.

I feel like it's been a long time coming. Right. You know what I mean? And I've actually been re-watching it again every week leading up, and I hope people are doing the same. That's right right because then we're all on the same page we're on the same page of familiarity yep we know like we know the delivery of every line yeah we can really speak to that in a knowledgeable way yeah little jokes you know it's funny how much you can get out of a movie if you watch it seven weeks in a row and what we're also we're all and and maybe

because we're going to do this too we're going to we're going to make our own Arashikage ninja sword. Oh, yeah. We're going to forge our own swords live on the podcast. So if you guys want to get started on that project also, we can have a big sword fight in the park as well. Yeah, it's also I've got the Storm Shadow costume that I'm getting custom made. And we're getting the clan tattoos, right?

Yeah, you've got the Snake Eyes one. And it's just looking, it's actually, it's really coming together. We're actually going to film this one. We're currently building a set. That's right. It's really exciting. I cannot wait to show you guys our Snake Eyes episode. So we're filming that this week.

That's true. We're going to get on it. I've quit my job and we're going to pour all the money we've ever made from this podcast. That's right. And I've spent most of that money, so I'm going to have to get out a huge loan. We're going to make this. We're going to remake Snake Eyes.

How? Snake Eyes. I mean, how do you improve on it we can't that's the thing we can't do it's more of a homage it's an homage to the greatest movie we've ever seen we've definitely seen it multiple times yeah that's right uh just also a quick shout out uh to sarabi and maizey and fidel who are coming on i mean they already did already like adjudicate like the facebook group but they're coming on board to do like other things as well, which I really appreciate that. We might, there'd be some TikTok things

and other things going on. We've got them in a flight to Australia dressed as ninjas. That's right, exactly. For the Snake Eye, we're going to kill them on screen. Yeah, that's right. It's going to be great.

But it's for content. Yeah. So yeah, that's cool and thank you to those people who have been consistently good but now they get to do, have more money, which I think is also good. That's right, guys. Snake eyes.

I can't wait. Just two snake guys talking snake eyes, you know? We're the snake guys. James, have we been calling it snake eyes this whole time? Because I've been watching the asylum film Snake Eyes. I've watched that like 22 times now. Oh, no. I've watched Snake Guys.

That explains your Snake Guys costume. Right? Very good. And then also we're going to talk about movies that we've changed our minds on over the years, for good or ill. This was recommended by Chris Stockman. Yeah, he did a video on it. And so I thought that's a really good concept to steal, I said.

And then we were going to talk about Snake Eyes, but we've run out of time. Well, we've got this going on. How could we? We're the concept. We've got this concept. This conceptual idea. Yeah.

Good stuff. Folks, thank you everybody so much for listening. Shame we didn't get to Snake Eyes, but maybe next week. Maybe. No, we'll do it. Well, I mean, potentially we could be talking about Ghostbusters Afterlife. Oh, yeah. But maybe we watch that.'s not great yep but we have watched snake eyes and we think that is

worth talking about we have an opinion about snake eyes so maybe maybe we we do i mean with all right how about this yep we'll do snake eyes unless unless there's so much worth talking about in ghostbusters afterlife we'll do ghostbusters afterlife i just said earlier that i'm fucking sick of ghostbusters didn't i oh then snake eyes it is and then i'm doing ghostbusters Half-Life, we'll do Ghostbusters Afterlife. I just said earlier that I'm fucking sick of Ghostbusters, didn't I? Oh, then Snake Eyes it is. And then I'm doing Ghostbusters. I mean, I might be. Yeah, yeah.

Obviously, Snake Eyes takes priority. Yeah, yeah. And I mean, it has in previous weeks, obviously, but sometimes. Things come up. Yeah, things come up. The movie Snake Eyes. I can't wait for the movie Snake Eyes, and I can't wait for us to get sick of this joke. Henry Golding is in it.

That's right. Other people are in it, presumably. What do you love about the movie? Oh, then we'll save it. We'll save it. Golding is in it. That's right. Other people are in it, presumably. What do you love about the movie? Oh, then we'll save it. We'll save it. We'll obviously save it. I don't want to give a single opinion because they are incendiary, my opinions on the movie Snake Eyes.

Yeah, oh, man. You know? Oh, man. Remember that? Oh, I won't even. I won't even say whether I remember it or not. Even if you said what it was, which you won't. That's right.

Anyways, thanks for listening. We genuinely appreciate it., which you won't. That's right. Anyways, thanks for listening. We genuinely appreciate it. Snake Eyes. Snake Eyes. Two Snake Guys talking about two Snake Eyes that we see in the movie Snake Eyes. And to be clear, it's not the Nicolas Cage movie Snake Eyes. Oh, shit. What have you been watching?

I'm joking. I knew it was the right Snake Eyes movie, Mason. I took a run at a joke then. It's really good. That was good. Great stuff. Yeah. And the last thing is next week we are, of course,

going to be talking about Spider-Man. Now, we were going to do Snake Eyes this week. That's true. But then we got a chance to see a screening of Ghostbusters. Yeah, which is not out in Australia until New Year's Day. No, but there were screenings and they're gone now, if you haven't seen them as of yet. So we're going to move Snake Eyes to next week.

We'll try and squeeze it in around Spider-Man, obviously. I think we can do that. There won't be enough. I mean, I would assume we We'll try and squeeze it in around Spider-Man, obviously. I think we can do that. There won't be enough. I mean, I would assume we won't have a lot to say about Spider-Man Nowhere Home, so there'll be plenty of time. We have a certain amount of time to movie reviews, so I think there will be time next week for Snake Eyes. That's right.

I also just want to point out just quickly just now just how this time next week we will be doing Spider-Man. It'll be done and out. It's true. It's finally here. And Snake Eyes. And Snake Eyes. Obviously we'll be doing Spider-Man. It's going to, it'll be done and out. It's true. It's finally here. And Snake Eyes. And Snake Eyes. Obviously, we'll do Snake Eyes up top.

We'll probably do an hour 40 on Snake Eyes. Yes. Then we'll do, we owe it to the movie Snake Eyes. Yes. We've been pushing it back for too long. Like, we've been joking about it. That's true. We're actually going to do it next week.

We're actually going to do it next week. So, we're actually very excited about it, which is cool. Yeah. I agree. Yeah. All right. And then we're going to go into Spider-Man No Way Home. And then, of course, the plan is to sneak in a bit of Snake Eyes afterwards, isn't it?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's been a long time coming. So if you haven't watched Snake Eyes up until this point, first of all, what are you doing? And big spoilers, obviously. We've been banging on about this for weeks. This is going to be the big, as we've always said, this is going to be the big Snake Eyes episode. So pause the podcast now. Maybe watch Snake Eyes.

Yep. And then you'll be ready for us to – If you can squeeze in the other G.I. Joe movies, that's fine. This is – I mean, they're not really related, but there's definite crossover, isn't there? Snake Eyes, for example. Snake Eyes is one of the things that makes the transition. Anyway, all of those are linked below.

You can jump wherever you want to go. Now let's talk about that poster. Is that a little rhyme for Christmas? It didn't mean to be, but yes. It's a time for reflection, isn't it? No, it's a time to freak out. Bridge out! Did you...

You laughed a little bit there. I loved it, James. Yeah. Do you know what it's time for? Is it time for our famous segment What We Readin'? Yep. Then what are we gonna read? That is the time. Whoa! That is the time for it. I'm doing a thing. That is the time.

Whoa. That is the time for it. I'm doing a thing. I'm putting my foot down, James. You can either keep having that or you can switch over to your new little bit, Bridge Out. You can't have both. I nearly said Bridge Out.

Wow. But you didn't want to sacrifice the thing you insist on doing every week. We get messages. I thought about how many messages and tweets I'd get and I just didn't. Have you ever considered that maybe the reason mentally you're at 40% is because you have to do these mental calculations every week? Like you have to, your brain is every week, your brain is constantly calculating how much more humour value there is left in saying a word over the top of this segment

for some reason. That's why. That's why you're falling to bits. How long have I been doing it for now? Decades, I think. I don't even know. When did Westworld Season 3 finish? I reckon at least a year ago.

Let me check. Yeah, May of last year. Yeah, I've been nearly doing it a year. It's coming up. It's an anniversary. I'll get you a cake. What do you mean? I was going to say it'll have, you know, the guy from Breaking Bad.

What's his name? Aaron Paul. Aaron Paul. But I nearly said I'll get you a cake with Jake Paul. Maybe I will. Bad, what's his name? Aaron Paul. Aaron Paul, but I nearly said I'll get you a cake with Jake Paul on it. Maybe I will. Maybe I'll get YouTube star Jake Paul on a cake for you. That's funny, I know.

Yeah, it is funny, yeah. Yeah, good stuff. Jake Paul shaped cake. Oh, it's a Jake Paul shaped cake. What is it? That's going to bring the budget up a little bit. I want you to go all out. Okay, great. Like just his head or his entire body?

Shoulders up. Okay, great. Like a bus. Terrific, yeah. Cool. Get Ralph from Cake Boss. Oh, yeah. We sort of know him.

He'll do it. Yeah, yeah, he'll do it. I mean, for money. You'd have to pay him. Yeah. I'm not paying him. You pay him. Okay.

All right. What do you mean, Reid? I'm doing a thing. I'm not paying him. You pay him. Okay. All right. What do you mean, Raiden?

I'm doing a thing. Westworld. Two years of that, everyone. It's just good to have an end goal. You know what I mean? It's like when you're anticipating a movie, but you're like, it's two years away. What if I just stopped doing it then, though? That would have been the ultimate twist, but that's not fun for me. Mason.

I enjoy the part of your brain that's like, this would been the ultimate twist, but that's not fun for me. Mason, I enjoy the part of your brain that's like, this would be the ultimate twist. So in this segment of the show, we talk about things we've read, watched, listened to, just some fun we've been having. A bit of fun we've been having. And have you been having any fun this week? I watched a couple of episodes of Masters of the Universe Revelation. I know you did as well.

I watched four episodes. And let me just say, are mine a spoilers? Sure there's it takes a turn pretty early on yes um there's minor controversies i should point out from kevin smith's master of the universe so time code if you do want to skip ahead but but this is also what i'm going to talk about is just in the first episode and then thanks different turn from there so they basically dispatch both He-Man and Skeletor. Straight up. In the first episode. Straight at once, immediately, yeah.

Which is, and then it becomes a show about. Teela. Teela and also Man-at-Arms and some other more minor characters. Which, look, I know people are like upset about this, like this shift in central focus or whatever. Again, of this toy property. But also the original series is, it's awful. It's an awful show.

Yep. Like there is some stuff from the 80s that does hold up, but He-Man is, it's not, like it's a fun universe and designs and all that kind of thing, but it's bad. Like it's bad. And if, I don't know, maybe you've been waiting, you know, 30 years for a follow-up, which this is technically. Because I think it does so much right in terms of the character design

and they'll roll in a vehicle that I'm like, oh, my God, I remember that vehicle. It's so dumb and they brought it back. So awkward. Why would anybody drive that? You're looking for trouble. Oh, it's Moss Man, Moss Man. You know what I mean?

Yeah, yeah. They also kill a bunch of minor and major characters, which is cool. And I also think, though, if you love He-Man and Skeletor, I could also see why you would be upset that they killed him. I get that. But if you love He-Man and Skeletor, you're in your 40s. And why don't you get your action figures and make them kiss,

if you love them so much. Right, exactly, if you love them so much. Set up a little mock wedding In your little Castle Greyskull playset And have them get married Have them married over the Castle Greyskull altar And then they can have They can have finger foods in the bloody

In the reception area In the moat In the moat, exactly Just get over it, it's fine But you know, again, if you love it, just make them get married. Set up a little ceremony. That's right. Invite your friends.

Don't explain what you're doing, but invite them around for a barbecue and then say, surprise, He-Man and Skeletor are getting married. Just say, me and my wife have something to announce, and your wife's like, really? All right, here we go. You pull back a little curtain. Yeah. Yeah.

Man at Arms gives away He-Man. Stinkor is not invited because of the stink he makes. God, but I do love seeing characters pop up and be like, oh, my God, I remember that guy. Yeah. Look at that guy. He's got three sets of eyes. Oh, my God, it's that aqua dude or whatever his name is.

It's a robot probably. It's a robot probably. It's a robot probably. Yeah, I had that robot, I think. There's also Blue Robot He-Man. Oh, Faker. Faker, yeah. Just like the band Faker. I've not heard of that band.

Yeah, you have. They're Australian. I've never heard of that band. You have heard of them. What country did you say they're from? Australia, the country we're from. Don't know that either, mate. Sorry, can't help you.

Your famous character is Mr Unhelpful. There he is. Mr Obstinate. Yeah, he's not ignorant. He's just deliberately unhelpful. Anything else you're reading or you want to read? Ah, gosh. What are you Westworlding, Mason?

I've been, let me think. What have you got first? I've been watching Superman and Lois because it's back. Oh, it is back. Okay, great. It's really good. Great, great, great. Not to spoil it because you're not up to something.

Here comes a big spoiler, folks. No, I'm not going to do it. But they introduced a character that's like, didn't see that coming. And in a good way, I'm like, huh, really? Good. All right. Spider-Man?

Yeah, it's Spider-Man. Whoa. How'd they do that? How'd they get the They just did it Wow Wow Yeah

They just took it from the movie as well Just Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man Just clips from that movie Just placed it in Wow They did that thing where they animate some lips on it Not even Whoa

Does he talk to Superman? Does he just say stuff No, they just cut to it. Also, then we get Superman to be like, hope you're having fun in New York City, Spider-Man. And he's like, I'm going to stop Electro. Well, good luck, Spider-Man. He gives him a big, big salute.

But then like Tyler Herkul is like, oh, do I got to do this? What am I? Isn't it a Superman show? What are we doing here? No, we're changing it to Superman and Lois and Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man. Spider-Man is more popular so we're going to do this until. They stop us.

Until they stop us. So every scene is now like Superman and Lois. Instead of being like, man, I hope our kids are okay. You know, they're developing powers and stuff. And I hope they're, you know, not, I hope they're okay with us. You know, we leave them sometimes. But now it's just like, I hope Spider-Man's doing okay. What do you think, Clark?

Yeah, I hope Spider-Man's doing okay as well, Lois. What do you reckon he's up to? I don't know. Dane DeHaan's got a green moss disease or something. Gwen Stacy yeah that's coming up I think

oh my god great stuff yeah but it is a good show great you haven't continued watching it at this point

no I'm just behind I'm not against it I'm a big fan I really really like it yeah that's great nice to have a good one it surprises me

every week that I don't hate it. Great. Yeah. So it's only a matter of time. Yeah. Do you feel a certain tension? Definitely. Of like one week it's going to be bad?

I think that's why it's good though because I'm like, another good one. What could it do to ruin itself for you? Just whatever happened to the CW. Okay, sure, sure. Just becomes, I don't know. I mean, it's in the CW, right? No, no.

Maybe. I don't know. I have no idea. They haven't done any crossovers yet. No, I think Arrow might be coming or something. I have't know. I mean, it's in the CW, right? No, no. Maybe. I don't know. I have no idea. They haven't done any crossovers yet. No, I think Arrow might be coming or something. I have no idea. But it sort of is. Because, you know, they multi-dimensioned it and something.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, they did, yeah. But I don't know because I stopped watching it. Yeah, it's true. They're just cutting to Spider-Man. So that's what we're reading for this week. I've got some other stuff. What else have you got? I've got a screener for that Mark Wahlberg's The Highlander movie.

Oh, have you? Yeah, so I might watch that. I don't think I will actually. I kind of don't want to watch it. So thanks, people who sent me that. But are you going to watch it? Maybe. I mean, you know, a bit silly, a bit of silly fun.

Apparently it's very boring. Oh. Yeah. But I haven't seen it. Okay. What do you mean I'm a highlander? What do you mean? What do you mean?

What do you mean? Just that for 40 minutes. That's very cool. And he's hit by a lightning. That's his next life. What do you mean I got hit by a lightning? What do you mean? Anyway, what do you got? What do you mean I'm a Dutch milkmaid now?

What do you mean I'm in the 17th century? Wait, it's time. Why am I back in time now? What do you mean? Yeah, I don't know. It seems him playing against type. I don't know if it will work. That's kind of why I want to watch it.

Because it's a milkmaid? Yeah, because he's a 17th century Dutch milkmaid. But I mean also because he doesn't seem, he doesn't feel like this is kind of, you know, a man tumbling through time, an ancient warrior tumbling through time. That doesn't feel very Mark Wahlberg-y to me and I want to see if it works

on any level. I bet it's so Mark Wahlberg you'll shoot yourself. But I don't want to do that. Then you better not watch it. I won't watch it. Yeah, yeah. Bridge out. Stop doing that. This week I read Superman and the Authority.

Did you? I've read that like years ago and seen the movie. Oh, wait, there's a new one. I'm thinking of the one where- You're thinking of Superman versus the Elite. This is Superman and the Authority, but they are tied together. I have. I bought the first one, but anyway, go on.

So this is a four-issue miniseries, which might be tied into the larger DC universe, but they are tied together. I have. I bought the first one, but anyway, go on. So this is a four-issue miniseries which might be tied into the larger DC Universe, but it might not. Oh, wow. I was not entirely sure for the entire run of it, but it's basically Superman. He's getting on in years. He's sort of depowered. He's losing his powers. Are you worried

about that? I am worried about it, but he's got to get a team together that are going to face some big-time threats after he's gone. So he's going to form together the Authority, which used to be an Image Wildstorm team. Oh, okay. I didn't know that.

But then they got purchased by DC. Yeah, right. And it includes some of the original Authority. It includes a couple of members of the Elite, which is the team from back in the day. Yeah, okay. And it's by Graham Morrison and they've been doing all sorts of big time, big idea kind of stuff.

It's a lot of fun. Superman's got a new suit. What did you think of it though? I liked it. I thought it was fun. Yeah? Superman's got a new suit. Should I get it?

Yeah, I think you should get it. Every now and then does he bust out some powers? He's like, I've still got it. He's not powerless. Yeah. He can still lift a big weight got it. He's not powerless. Yeah. He can still lift a big weight in the Fortress of Solitude. Is that what he's doing? And somebody's like, that weighs 600 billion tons. Why are you doing that?

He's like, well, I used to be 605 tons. That's right. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. All right. So should I read it? I think you should read it.

I do have the first one. It's only four issues. It's a bit of fun. Four issues? Yeah. What am I, made of time and money? Yeah. No, Mason, I'm not.

They call you Mr. Money Time Man. They call you the Money Time Man. He's calling me that. I like that. Your suit's covered in dollar bills and clocks. Is it? Yeah. I like this version of me.

Yeah. Sounds like he knows what's going on. And your face is a big melted pumpkin. Why am I a pumpkin? You made the suit, man. Did I? Yep. So it's not my face.

You had unlimited money and time and this is the best you could come up with. I'm wearing a pumpkin. It's not my face. No, you've had your face. You've had plastic surgery, so your face looks like a big melted pumpkin. Feels normal. Is that like ghost face syndrome? That's part of the surgery.

You demanded that. I don't like it as much. I like to be seen with money and clocks. Anyway. Yeah, cool. All right, cool. Well, I finished, and I'm kind of disappointed that I finished it, The Sopranos.

Oh, yeah. I've been just watching it over the last few months. Yeah, it's just a very interesting world. And just watching him burn through his friends and his enemies and the people that he, like, you know, he tortures along the way and he's awful. Okay, but did you like the fact that the show totally, completely endorsed him as a heroic Yes, that's what I liked about it. Everybody kept giving him a thumbs up.

And so did I. Yeah, that's true. I was watching him the entire time. After every episode, you went, thumbs up, Tony Soprano. But you know the way the Dexter's back. It would have been great. And look,

there are people, I guess, you could like, Paulie's still alive. And there's people who were still alive. That Russian. That Russian is still alive.

But they didn't die necessarily. But you just, he's gone and you can't do it. He's such a linchpin of that show that you cannot do it without him. Yeah. But they'll try. Look,

if they could take a run at it, they had a good idea, I think that would be terrific. Sopranos in space, we talked about that. Yeah, Sopranos in space on a snake plane. Because they're like, Tony's missing. Where's Tony gone? Oh, no, Tony went to space. A rival mob family took him to the moon.

We're going to go on a quest to the moon. But will we? And that's the thing. But we know that he's no longer with us. So, you know, we know their quest will end in failure somehow, but it's the journey, you know what I mean? Maybe there's a CGI. Journey, like the band Journey.

Exactly. Maybe there's a CGI Tony Soprano on the moon. He's just giving the thumbs up at the end. And they're like, oh, it's Tony. And he's pulled out the American flag. He's putting the Italian flag in. And he's eating a pizza pie. Yes. It's putting the Italian flag in. And he's eating a pizza pie. Yes.

It's in his spacesuit. He's twirling his, except he doesn't have, he's got one of those forks that twirls on its own. Because he's in space. Because he's in space. They could call it the many saints of the moon. Yes. It's perfect.

That's right. Great. I should make that. It would make it Francois upset. That's my favorite thing. I was going to say, Tilda Swinton and Frances McDormand are in the French Dispatch. Of course they are.

And I just, every time I see them, I'm like, they're so good in the sense that, and I spent a lot of their segments going, where have I seen this person before? And then I'm like, oh, yeah, it's Frances McDormand. I've seen her in so many things. She's a famous actor. Yeah, it's just, but they're, and same with Tilda Swinton. seen her in so many things she's a famous actor yeah it's just but they're and same with tell the swim there's just so many people that you didn't yeah

oh no but she's just so good at like oh okay yeah because of the acting because of all the acting she was doing yeah as you know it's true people call me the francis mcdormand of podcasting because often we'll be doing a podcast and i'm doing like a different riff or a character and you get lost and you're like what happened to james where did he go? Who's this new person? They also call you the Francis McDormand of podcasting because I've seen three billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri that say James is a huge dumbass. It says turd, Mason.

Just say you're a turd. Yeah. Also, I was just thinking, I did speak in error. I imagine if Tony Soprano was on the moon, he would leave the American flag in there and put the Italian flag. Because he's Italian-American. Yeah, that's fine. Maybe New Jersey has a flag.

Maybe he puts in the American flag and they're like, and he turns it around and sees the Italian flag on the back and they're like, yeah. Oh, yeah. This is a segment of the show where Mason and I go, guess what we've been doing? Guess. I mean, it has to be media related. go, guess what we've been doing? Guess. I mean, it has to be media related.

Yeah, it can't be like crimes or whatever. No. Because we wouldn't tell you even if we'd done crimes. But guess what crimes we've done. Guess. That's right. So you can guess. What are you reading?

Well, I just bought, I don't have it yet, but I bought the first, well, this is really only one season. I bought the first 13 episodes of Cowboy Bebop on Blu-ray. Oh, okay, yeah. Which is a series that everybody's like, you should do this. Well, I've actually, I own all those Blu-ray HD, and I've actually seen, if that's even been released, but even if it hasn't, I've still got it.

And I've seen every episode. Because it's anime. I know it back to front. It's anime. And you're the man who knows everything about anime. Okay, right, right. Yeah. He doesn't even have a cowboy hat.

That's what a lot of people, that's a common misconception. Cowboy Bebop. Let me just quickly Google something else. Okay, Google a different thing. But he doesn't have a cowboy hat. Can I see your screen while you're Googling? What? I just wanted to look at the time on your computer screen.

I'd just like you to stay focused on what you were talking about, if you could. I'm going to watch Cowboy Bebop because people are like, because I've only seen it in like little snippets. Sure. It seems like, you know, it's all of its time, obviously, but I'm like, this looks cool and fun and I should probably check it out. And it's kind of, you know.

It's interesting because, yeah, there's a lot of other things that people might not know about Cowboy Bebop. The lead guy's name is Spike, actually. I think that's interesting. So people think that it's Cowboy Bebop, but it's not. So that's probably good information for me to go in with because I would have assumed the main character's name's Cowboy Bebop, but it's not. So that's probably good information for me to go in with because I would have assumed the main character's name was Cowboy Bebop up until the point where he probably said his name,

someone else said his name, and then I'd look quite foolish. So I'm glad going in knowing that the character's name is Spike. If you need anything else, you need me to fill in any gaps before you go in, that's fine, I'm happy to do it, that's what I'm here for. Okay, all right. Yeah, because I am the guy who knows everything about anime. That's your character. No, that's who I am, not a character. Okay, right, right, right. Okay, all right. Yeah, because I am the guy who knows everything about anime. That's your character. No, that's who I am, not a character.

Okay, right, right, right. Yeah, very good. Could you take a stab at how it ends? I don't mind if you tell me if you spoil it. Oh, I would hate to. No, no, please, you can spoil it for me. I don't mind. It's interesting because it weaves a rich narrative tapestry.

Oh, tapestry. Yeah, and there's like multiple characters coming in and out, and you know what I mean? There's a lot of surprises along the way, which I could definitely just spoil in a row for you. I mean, go ahead. Which I won't. Well, there's other people listening as well.

So it's not just you need to realize this podcast goes out to many people, not just you. This is the first I'm hearing about it. But all right. I got a Switch game, which I've played five minutes of. We're just doing a lot of snippets. It's called State of Mind. It's sort of like a future cyberpunk kind of

Quite slow paced It's not anime though is it? Because I would have known about it I also know about anime video games Ace Attorney would be one for example Are you excited about the new Ace Attorney game James? Well it depends Mason Go on

It depends on You'd be very excited because you know about this sort of stuff. You'd be very excited to tell me the premise of the new Ace Attorney game because you would know about it. I mean, just because I know about a thing. Keep your hands off the keyboard, James, and stare directly at me and tell me what the premise of the new Ace Attorney game is. Okay, so obviously there's a big case.

Some people call it Case Attorney. Okay. It's not true. No, it's not. You're an Ace Attorney game is. Okay, so obviously there's a big case. Some people call it Case Attorney. Okay. It's not true. No, it's not. You're an Ace Attorney. And you know he's in and out. He's doing the big point. Like he does a big objection.

So you're saying that in this game, Phoenix Wright, the main protagonist of Ace Attorney is doing a big point. Yeah. He's not in it. It's a prequel. It's set before he was a lawyer. It might be a Western studio. That's why I don he was a lawyer. It might be a Western studio. That's why I don't know about it.

It might be. Why? Because I only know about the traditional, like, you know, Japanese. Yeah, the traditional one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, you're right. Anyway, Plague Tale. I can't believe you found my one blind spot.

No, I found it. I knew it. I've been researching for weeks. This is your update of games from years ago that Maceo is just playing now. Speaking of games from years ago, I've got a couple of things I want to talk about. I'm literally looking now because I want to buy Streets of Rage 4 on the Switch. Oh, yeah. I always like those games, and apparently the new one's really good.

And I think those people are also working on like a Ninja Turtles beat-em-up for later this year. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Which I'm definitely 100% going to get. And the other thing is I was away this week with my fam on a fam holiday with some other fams, and they had a Daytona cabinet. And I'm like, I'm seriously contemplating, and I shouldn't, getting a Daytona cabinet. With the steering wheel in it. Yeah, like a 2-1.

That's why you were about the steering wheel earlier. Like, do you use a steering wheel? Do you drive under a big poster of Sonic in Kentucky Route Zero? No, you don't, James. Get your mind out of the gutter. It's $7,000, right? Okay, go on. A bit more with delivery.

Okay, sure. It's also like a- Where are you finding this? Where is it? I've been looking around. It's a 25-plus-year-old game. There's like three tracks. There sure is.

I'll probably- I can get it on the PlayStation 3 3 for like nothing yeah if i wanted it now or do i get this thing that i'll instantly regret how many i never buy anything mason i don't know that's true you know what i mean you don't buy anything it's true but what but it's also seven thousand dollars yeah well i was gonna say like by comparison like i'd be like well i probably wouldn't i probably wouldn't that'd be too much in my budget where I buy like three leather jackets a week. Yeah. You're right.

You don't buy anything. So how many times do you play it realistically? Oh, that's the thing. I don't, not that much probably. Yeah. But it's a great game. Yes. And, you know, I could, you know, people can come around and play Daytona.

Is it a two steering wheel cabinet? Yeah. It's also, it's old as fuck. So it a two steering wheel cabinet? Yeah. It's also, it's old as fuck. So it's like it's only going to break down. Oh, yeah. You know what I mean? I also looked into like gaming rigs. Could I set up a PlayStation 4, like 3 with a seat and a whatever

and like build my own? Yeah. I've gone crazy, Mason. It seems that way, yeah. But I also kind of want to convert like maybe a corner of the studio into like what if I just get a bunch of arcades, you know what I mean, like the one-up ones and whatever, or get one that's like, that has like 1,000 games.

Yeah. But then I don't think there is fun though. And you could get one of those things where it's like the little red and white circular targets and they move back and forth and you give us both an air rifle and we ping them. Exactly. Get us one of those rifle and we ping them. Exactly. Get us one of those. I get a pinball machine.

Pinball machine. Adam's family pinball. I probably won't, but should I? Hey, man, you've got a moderately successful podcast and a less successful podcast. Why not treat yourself? Would you, if I got it, would you be like, why did you do that? Or would you be like, solid choice?

I'm looking for judgment. And it's not like, oh, wow, that's a great question. Are you looking for someone to tell you, yes, you should get it, or are you looking for somebody ultimately to tell you you shouldn't get it? Have you told Claire about this? Yeah, totally. She's like, if you really want to get it, whatever. You never buy anything.

I cannot think of one specifically, but I bet there is one game that if I saw it for sale I would probably like budget to buy it. Time Cop. No, what's that? Time Crisis? Yeah. House of the Dead. I don't think it would be one of the best.

What about a Marvel Capcom? What's interesting? What about that Sniper game? No. Yeah. Oh, what about that X-Men arcade game? It had six players. I mean, they do a bunch of those on the one-up arcade thing. You know what I game? No. Yeah. Oh, what about that X-Men arcade game? It had six players. I mean, they do a bunch of those on the one-up arcade thing.

You know what I mean? Yeah. Would you play it? Yeah. Yeah. I reckon there's probably one. Yeah, like I said, I reckon there's probably one. I couldn't tell you what it is off the top of my head,

but if I saw one for a reasonable amount of money, maybe the first TMNT beat-em-up game. It's fun. Or you can, again, one-up. Get it on one-up. But the cabinet is better, like the full cabinet. Yeah, that's what I meant. No, that's what I'm saying.

The one-up cabinet, it's got both games and it's all TMNT. And also, if I bought a really old TMNT machine, I'd be like, this is old. This is old and weird and smells of soft drink. Exactly. It's all sticky. I don't like it. Are you going This is old and weird and smells of soft drink. Exactly. It's all sticky and I like it. Are you going to refurbish this? What are you doing?

Every now and then I just hit up the 1UP website and I'm like, what have you guys been making? What have you guys been making? What are you up to? Yeah. Yeah, good stuff. Okay. I'm like, well, this should be an ongoing segment.

Should I guess? It's an ongoing segment. It's two minutes of you just going back and forth on whether you should buy this cabinet or not. Because I think also I could totally justify the one-up ones because they're like $700, $800, right? Yeah, that's not crazy. And they're like compact. The Daytona, it's a whole thing.

It's a cockpit. It's two of them. Then you would have to have a conversation with the delivery guy. The truck would block the street outside and he would be like, delivery, what's this? And he'd be like, oh, it's a Daytona machine. You'd have to have that conversation and he'd be like, huh, interesting. Why did you do that?

Yeah. Because I'm an idiot, that's why. Well, that's how I make my living, delivering stuff to idiots. So maybe that's what Kentucky Route Zero is about. Maybe that's his final delivery. It's a Daytona machine to an idiot. How do people like, you know people who collect like a bunch of expensive stuff?

Yeah. How do they justify it? Do you know what I mean? They have so much money that it isn't a thing. That it doesn't matter. Yeah. See, I don't think I'm at that point. Yeah, no.

But there are people also who collect this stuff who, like, who don't have, like, a bunch of money and they put in. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know. I'm also, I'm not even really an arcade guy. Like, I don't know what's wrong with me. Yeah. Maybe a crisis.

Is that what this is? A time crisis, sure. Yeah. Anyway, anyway. Should we do the next segment of the show? Okay, James, just imagine this. It's the Time Crisis arcade cabinet, but it just says Midlife Crisis on it. And it's got your face on it on the side.

Could I be like polygonal? Yeah, yeah. You're a bunch of polygons and you're like, hmm. And the game itself, there's the guns, but you're actually just clicking around on the screen. It's not like an action thing, but you're clicking around on various websites. You're shooting your way through websites,

constantly contemplating buying this machine. So there's like an advertising spreadsheet, and you shoot it away, and then there's the Daytona website and then you shoot it away and then it's like. And then I put it in my cart. Yeah, yeah. And then I look at delivery costs and I take it out of my cart. You shoot it out of the cart again and then you shoot it some emails

and then you shoot back at the website. Nice. Can I shoot myself? No, it's not how those guns work. They're not real guns. Okay, fair enough. We should make this a spin-off show about arcade cabinets we think about buying.

And it's a YouTube series. So we just go to the place and we stare at the arcade cabinet and the guy who's selling it is like tapping his foot and looking at his watch. He's like, I've got other potential buyers here. And we're like, just... Give us a... And we're just like –

We're just imagining it. It smells funny. It smells, yeah. But it's six player. What else, Mason? Or next segment? Have I been reading anything else, watching anything else? Oh, my God.

My crypto grip's going off, mate. It's been a big dip in the market. Let's go to the next segment real quick. I agree. It's time for letters. The classic one was letters, oh letters. Rock and roll. I gave you some letters.

They're only a take away. I know they're here right now. We're going to do letters. You were doing the rock and roll horns. I was not. And then I yelled rock and roll. I think I was just pointing. Oh, were you?

Yeah. Anyway, you didn't like that I yelled rock and roll. Well, I thought you were road testing another catchphrase. Oh, maybe I am. Another of your many failed catchphrases. I like rock and roll, but it's not. It's not rock and roll at all, is it? Well, this isn't rock and roll at all, but also you'd need a little something extra on the end,

something to sweeten the pot. A sting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Very good. Like somebody yelling rock and roll? So your catchphrase would be you yelling rock and roll and then another random person adds rock and roll at the end. Yes.

Huh. And then it's rock and roll. That would be pretty rock and roll, actually. Can we all just agree that this is the letter segment of the show? Can we all set aside partisan politics and agree Let's get behind this. that this is the letter segment, for God's sake. For the love of God's sake.

Mason, we're in the letter segment of the show. If you do want to reach the show, actually, hashtag weeklyplanetpod on Twitter or weeklyplanetpod at gmail.com. This is from Mule from Denmark. Oh, okay. And Mule says, Hey, guys, long-time listener, first-time writer. Your podcast has helped me through some tough times

and I love having something to look forward to every week. I was wondering... I'd appreciate it. I was wondering whether Marvel Comics reboots the universe every couple of years like DC does. If not, how does Marvel bring their characters back to the status quo? Do you prefer DC's method or Marvel's? Well, they both have their advantages.

They should. Well, what Marvel does, what DC does is initially every 10 years, but now it's pretty much every few months. Every six to eight months. Every issue, there's a big event that's going to destroy the entire universe. Oh, no. And all the heroes get together and they save the universe, but the universe has been changed somehow.

They couldn't stop it before some stuff in the universe was being changed, usually all the weird continuity stuff that they're sick of dealing with. Doesn't it when they come together, they're like, a big new guy's happening and he's got a big chair. He sits in a big chair and he's got a big bald head. I've got the Doom chair. I'm actually from a dimension not a kid. Maybe I'm Superman, but an evil Superman in the future, perhaps.

Yes. So Superman must sacrifice himself, otherwise a bad future. Yes. Unless you get a big thing from behind the wall, otherwise a bad future. Yes! Unless you get a big thing from behind the wall, the big space wall. But you can't get it. I'll stand in front of that wall.

You have to go through me. Oh, they've gone the other way. Okay, I'm done. I'm buggered. Am I out of continuity? Yeah, I'm out of continuity. Can I come back in a comic as a minor threat in the future? Yes, I will.

Wow, I love comics. Yeah, they're good, aren't they? But what Marvel does usually is they just like, they'll have individual issues. They'll have a character go, hmm, I sure am in a sticky situation. It reminds me of a time when I was in a different sticky situation back around the time of my origin as a superhero comic book character. Yep. And then they go, you see the flashback,

and the flashback is like updated yeah like if their original origin was in the 60s they'll update it so it was in like the 90s or whatever yeah so instead of being in a you know a vietnam pow camp they'll be in a bin yeah they'll be in like oscar the grouch exactly this is a sticky situation outside of starbucks yeah and they'll be like oh this is the 90s now okay Okay, right. I love the 90s. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yeah, you're right. That's what they do. I prefer, oh, I kind of prefer the DC. And I know you hate, because we've talked about Crisis on Infinite Earths,

the major big, the first DC giant reboot that you hate, but I love because it's so dense and there's too much to it. But I love the fact that all the old stuff is still in continuity. It's just in a continuity that got moved. It got cut off, basically. But it still exists. So every once in a while DC is like, I'm the big man in the Doom chair or whatever,

but this time I've changed reality. So all the realities are real realities now. And look, it's all the Superman and they're all, oh no, they've all come to defeat me. I shouldn't have done this in retrospect. I shouldn't have let all the Superman out. Because one Superman couldn't have stopped me, but now all the Superman have teamed up.

There's a big splash page where every Superman's coming at me, including the one that couldn't fly. How's he flying through space now? Oh, someone's carrying him. Someone's got him by the scruff of the neck. We'll see what's going on now. But I kind of like that they all still exist, where the Marvel stuff, it's just like,

Marvel's just like, yeah, don't think too hard about it. Yeah, shut up. And there's also like, they'll put people in another dimension and stuff as well, won't they, in Marvel. And that's fun. I mean, to be fair, I probably prefer the DC version, I think. But it doesn't matter.

All I care about, and I've said this before, is just good stories. And I don't care what continuity they exist in. It's irrelevant to me. And sexy venom. Yeah, sexy venom is priority number one. Yeah, that's right. Priority number two is no women.

Okay, right. Sure. Or people of colour. Sure. That's not true. I just want to clarify. That's not something I believe. I thought it would be a fun joke but I said it in a way

where maybe that's not a joke. People are like, is this serious? You're holding a way where maybe that's not a joke. Yeah. People are like, is this serious? It's holding up a sign that's saying not a joke, folks. No. Mason, it was a joke. What's next, Mason? Oh, I've got some.

I've got some here. I'm just going to bring those up. What's the bloody thing? Oh, here we go. It's from Mr. Melt. It says, hashtag weekly planet pod. I'm melting. Help.

Help. Oh, no. I'm stuck to my keyboard. Hey, guys, what are some movies or moments? Ice cream of some sort. I'm a bubble-o-bill. I've melted. My little ice cream face.

My nose is not very good bubble gum. Is that a local thing? I'm the one that was the pencil. Do you remember the pencil one? I had a chocolate chip. I remember the pencil one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Is bubble-o-bill a local thing?

Yes. It must be, right? It definitely is. It's a dude. It's a cowboy ice cream. Cowboy ice cream. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is Bubba Lobill a local thing? Yes. Must be, right? It definitely is. It's a dude. It's a cowboy ice cream. Cowboy ice cream. And his nose is a- There would be cowboy ice creams all across the world, I would imagine.

There would be. But only Australia has the Bubba Lobill. Yeah. A not very good ice cream that doesn't look like a cowboy. And- Is the back chocolate? Yeah. And also, you've got to take the nose off.

You're just carrying around a bubble- You're carrying around a nose. Carrying around a bubble gum nose while you're eating eating ice cream. You know what I'd do? What's that? And I don't think a child has the skill for this. Yes. You tuck it into the corner of your cheek. While you're eating the ice cream?

Yeah, man. Insane. No. Good. Okay, it was also good. You're right. Anyway, Mr. Melt says, help, I'm a buffalo bill. Hey, guys, what are some movies or moments where the supporting actor

outshines the main actor? Example, Sly Stallone's role in Creed or J.K. Simmons in The Drum Teacher or Spider-Man, you could say. Sly Stallone out-performer. Out-Creed Creed? Out-Creed Creed. He does that speech where he's like, don't even worry about it. I'm getting cancer.

You better get out of here. Nobody loves anybody in the world. I'm alive. She's dead and you're dead worry about it. I'm getting cancer. You better get out of here. Nobody loves anybody in the world. I'm alive. She's dead and you're dead to me as well. I got cancer. I'm not even going to live for it even for a moment. Don't even think about it. I'm melting.

I've turned into ice cream. I'm Bob LaBille. Maybe I shouldn't have said that. I was quite rude in hindsight. He looked up to me and I think I let him down actually. He's right. Anyway, yeah, that's a good one. My back's made out of chocolate.

I've written a few here. I think often villains overshadow. Yeah, because it's more fun to be a villain. Totally. You could look at like Darth Vader or even the Emperor. The funnest characters there are. It's not about being fun, Mason. No, but I mean it's not about being fun, but that being said,

the Emperor in The Rise of Skywalker is having a lot of fun. Yeah. Ian McDiarmid? Yes. He's not about being fun, Mason. No, but I mean, it's not about being fun, but that being said, the Emperor in The Rise of Skywalker is having a lot of fun. Ian McDiarmid? Yes. He's having so much fun. The best time of his life. He's like, I've got a million spaceships and all this lightning. Woo! How many spaceships do you think I've got? It's a million! I've got a million! I've got a million! And you're a force dyad

and I'm gonna put my soul in your body. Woo! I can imagine something. He's like, how many spaceships do you think I've got? And they're like, it's a million! You can't even wait. Here's another letter, James, for this. It's from Liam.

He says, I stole your joke to make my wife love me. All right. My wife and I recently watched Tom Holland's new film Cherry. At the end, I mocked Tom using Mace's excellent impression of him, and my wife love me. All right. James and Mace, my wife and I recently watched Tom Holland's new film Cherry. At the end, I mocked Tom using Mace's excellent impression of him and my wife joined in. I will not be playing this podcast in front of her again just in case your impression comes on and she realises I'm not actually funny.

No, no, if it comes on, just say you sent in a voice message and say we copied it. Oh, good call. Totally fine. Quick question. Over the years, there have been so many video game movie tie-ins, many covered on your caravan of Garbage, speaking of King Kong. Thank you.

These seem to have died out in recent years, with many blockbuster movies not having a game to go with it. What film do you think would make a decent video game? That is very true. Thank you, Liam. Love the podcast, he says. I think I would like to see an attempt at just redo the Star Wars movies, all of them, as actual video games.

How about this? Like third-person action adventure games. Super new trilogy. Yes. Super Nintendo style. You're right, you're going boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. You know John Stratman who does the 16-bit scenes? Yeah.

I just don't understand why somebody hasn't contacted him or somebody like him, but he's clearly the best at it, and just being like design this, just make The Force Awakens as a side-scroller. Because he could do it. And Rey's there. She's got the lights up. It's as big as she is.

It'd be amazing. You know? Yeah. What about It? Didn't we play that mobile game? Yeah, but what about It? Yeah, you just beat up a big clown. What about Joker?

Point-and-click adventure game. But one of those really frustrating ones. But there's also a moment where you have to shoot three men on a train. And then Murray. Yeah, yeah. That's what it says on the box. Can you shoot three men and Murray? I'd imagine your gun's like waving.

You know what I mean? Yeah. It's a point and click. It's like Time Cop. Yeah. But it's just one and click it's like you know those it's like time cop yeah but it's just one guy you're gonna shoot i'll love an arcade game where you just have to shoot four people you just watch the movie okay then it's just like shoot murray you have to shoot there's just a line of kids around the block they were gonna put their dollar in they're just waiting but you have to watch the entirety of the movie Joker.

And then you just wait, and then you shoot Murray. But if you shoot anybody else before that, the game ends. The game ends, yeah. Oh, Murray. Do you have anything else, Mason, or should we do our audio thing? Do an audio thing. So if you do want to shoot through an audio question, you can shoot through an audio question. I'll play

it into the podcast feed. Just record it on your mobile telephone. That's right. We need your headphones, Mason, if we it into the podcast feed. Just record it on your mobile telephone. We need your headphones, Mason, if we're going to do this. Just record it into your mobile telephone. That's right. And then send it through an electronic mail. That's right. And then we'll know what you've done.

We'll know what you've done. Keep it 30 seconds. Keep it brief. But I think I really enjoy these. Let's do it. All right. Here we go you listening?

yeah good I knew you were going to do that I knew it you should have just said back up before you good stuff this is from Tom

he says hi guys I started listening to the pod last year when I needed something to entertain me while looking after the golf course in our first lockdown in England. And my mate recommended you guys, and I've been hooked ever since.

Unfortunately, he didn't lie about it. We do appreciate that if you do lie about it. Oh, very good. I was wondering what films, shows, books, games would you like to see the universe expanded with different stories and new cast and characters in the same world similar to the Mandalorian in Star Wars? For me, he says I'd like to see the Netflix from Bright, which itself was trash but the world was full of potential to explore. What would you guys like to see? Totally agree. That's a really good point.

Yeah. The Hancock universe. The Hancock universe? Isn't there just two superheroes in the Hancock universe? And they're both angels or something. We're just doing Will Smith stuff, are we? I guess we are. Hitched.

Wild, wild rest. We talked about Hitch. Hitch 2, both their wives are dead. Oh, we did too. How about this? Hitch, and it's just the stories of people who want to be like Hitch, but they're not as good as Hitch. So horrible pick-up artists.

They just keep ruining people's lives. They set up Hitch-style services to make you better at picking up women or getting married or whatever, but they're bad at it. That's good. And they just cause havoc and they go to jail. That's a good one. just cause havoc and they go to jail. That's a good one. Yeah.

What about this? What about that Will Smith movie where- He's killed by jellyfish? Yeah, or something. Yeah, the one where he has to make seven pounds. Yeah, that's the one. And they use his organs to- Yeah, that one. I didn't, I did say it.

I was going to say I didn't say it. No, I saw it. Is that the same one where he's like a businessman, but he's imagining all his friends or something? No, you're thinking of collateral beauty. Yeah. And that was also a scam by somebody to get his money or something. Okay, well, I want to see movies set in both of those universes

and then we collide them. They're parallel universes and we collide them in a dimensional adventure. That's interesting. Interdimensional adventure, seven pounds collateral beauty. I'd call it seven beautiful collateral pounds. Dimension origins. Well, I want to see the movie Gemini Man, but better. Nice.

Just remake it. Nice. And make it interesting and good. You'd want to see one relating to you, James. Yeah. Bloody Virgo man. Well, if we're talking Will Smith. Yes, of course. We're only talking Will Smith.

For some reason. The Men in Black universe should be a better universe. It should, shouldn't it? I, Robot, you could definitely do more with that. More Converse sneakers. You could get some Jack Purcells. What about this? After Earth is about coming back to Earth after things have evolved.

So before Earth. I've never seen it. Before Earth. Just regular Earth. That should be interesting where you come back and the Earth's evolved in different and interesting ways. Okay, but before Earth. What about Bad Boys 3 again?

What about Bad Boys Zero Origins? There's just one boy? Just one boy. Bad boy. He's not even a cop yet. He's just bad. Doesn't matter which one it is. But I guess Will Smith is.

This rude boy. Oh, yeah. They could call it. Yeah, nice. He's so precocious, this boy. Got any more Will Smith movies? Independence Day. I mean, they did it

Bag of Ants oh the further adventures of Bag of Ants he's a what is his deal? he's a guy is he a golf caddy or something?

yeah he's a mythical he's a magic golf caddy something the origin where did he get his golf bag? where did he get his bag he's not actually magic but yeah

what about Wild Wild West I did briefly mention just regular West just mine are all prequels I don't know what's going on yeah what are you He's not actually magic, but yeah. What about Wild Wild West? I did briefly mention it. Just regular West. Mine are all prequels. I don't know what's going on. Yeah, why are you doing that? I don't know.

Enemy of the state. There's even more cameras. The state's just fine with him? Prequel. Okay. Because he hasn't done anything too bad. Stop saying prequels. Concussion.

The one that's about. Hey, my head's feeling fine. Yeah. I haven't hit it. Yeah. I haven't hit head's feeling fine. Yeah. I haven't hit it. Yeah. I haven't hit it yet. Yeah. Yeah.

I haven't hit my head yet. That's a bit of foreshadowing. Will Smith, stand down. I haven't hit my head yet. I don't need you yet. All right. So those are all the Will Smith. All the Will Smith expanded universes.

That we want. Yeah. Yeah, definitely. All right. Well, I've got a couple of emails just to round us out. Round us out. Okay, this is from Harry Pollard. Hello, Harry Potter.

He says, got in a dream film school thanks to you. Oh, my God, a dream film school. Like Inception. Yes. Dear James and Mace, I've been a listener since your Age of Ultron episode, 2015, and haven't stopped tuning in weekly since then. You both made me laugh when I've been really struggling. James fancying Maid Marian is a personal favourite of mine.

Just a quick amendment to that. That's not true. You meant to write Mason. I might have autocorrected. No, I didn't. It says James. Yeah? I don't even believe this.

I don't even think this is a real email. There's no way Mason could autocorrect to James. It wouldn't work. Then he must have got us confused. Yeah. Because it's definitively you and everybody knows that except this fucking guy for some reason. Well, I think he's very canny and correct.

If he's a big fan, he'd know that, all I'm saying, Mason. Well, I think he's the biggest fan. I recently applied to study film at university and got accepted into my favourite schools. I have you two to thank for helping me interested in film, but I also want to thank my girlfriend, who I'm trying to convince to let me listen to the pod whilst driving, for giving me the courage to follow my passion for film. Nice. Hopefully in a few years I also want to thank my girlfriend who I'm trying to convince to let me listen to the pod whilst driving for giving me the courage

to follow my passion for film. Nice! Hopefully in a few years I'll be making films for the two of you to rubbish on the podcast. Oh, I can't wait. Just us with less talent just putting the boot into your work. That's right. Oh my god, I can't wait. He is going to be the official Essex boy of the podcast. Yes, you can. That's Harry from Essex. Thank you, Harry from Essex. I mean,

we didn't do much there. No, we bothered your girlfriend and you listened to us. And you got some facts wrong, but that's more on you. Is that the show then, Mason? Well, there's one more email. Okay. What else you got, Mason? I'm going to find something.

Okay, he's going to find one more and then we're all going to go home. You're already home. Yeah, but I'm going to be even more home. Just got a comment here I saw on YouTube that just says quantum of anus. James. And I got one more email. It's from Ryan. He says with the subject line,

maybe the best Matrix take I've ever heard. Oh, did we have it? Let's find out. Spoiler alert, we don't. So the bad times of 2020 haven't stopped and they've swam right into 2021 to cause havoc, he said. But you're not my counsellor, so I'll tell you this instead. My best friend is 25 and has only just watched The Matrix this weekend.

During this, he confessed for the last 20 years he thought the main character was called Neil. Maybe this isn't that funny. Maybe I'm losing my mind. No, that's really funny. It is funny, but we're also losing our minds. But I could not for the life of me stop laughing at the thought of the one the epic hero to save humanity might be called neil especially the scene when smith has him in front of the train

and then he screams back my name is neil i hope you're all keeping well stay safe boys uh we will thank you that's great stuff did he picks as well it's not like like his real name. He's like, I'm not Thomas Anderson. I'm calling myself Neil. Very good. That's incredible. I hope we can riff on that. We don't need to riff on that. No, that's as good as it is. That is self-contained, just good stuff.

I can't do anything with that. I consider James the spoken word to be entertaining or whatever I said it was earlier. I agree. You know? And Alec just says, hashtag week of antipode, I signed up to Twitter after finishing this week's episode just to ask James if he's okay.

I'm all right. Okay, cool. I'm all right. That wasn't hugely convincing. I'm all right. I don't know. What do you want from me? Do you want the highs or the lows, do you?

Mostly the highs, I think. And I'm fucking great, all right? Oh, that's terrific. That's good, man. That's really good. I'm glad for you. That's the show for this week. God, I'm glad. And folks all right? That's terrific. That's good, man. That's really good. I'm glad for you. That's the joke of this week. I'm glad.

Folks, everyone, that's confirmation. He's doing great. It's unrelated also. I went to the doctor and they said it's weird that you cannot interpret tone at all. That's great news for me, actually. That would be difficult for a touch-tone phone. There's a joke for you. I'm the joke-telling one. I honestly thought say i'm the joker i'm the joker now

We're doing every topic, so we'll get to it. We're doing every topic ever conceived of? Yep. Good, great. Exactly. No, thank you genuinely for listening.

We know things are not great in the world. That's right. Unless you're out there and you're like, no, things are great in the world, in which case, what's your secret? Yeah, I think the boomers did this. I think that's why everything's fucked. That's what I think's going on. Well, I say any boomers listening, welcome.

Yeah, I'm not saying all of them did it. I'm saying a select few really fucked us. You're talking about your parents? No, they're lovely people. Talking about my parents? Yeah. Oh, they're lovely people. Talking about my parents? Yeah. Oh, my God. All right.

Oh, yeah, Superman, the Donna movies. I saw my parents today. Yeah, how are they? They're good. My hair's quite big today. Yeah. My dad said, you know who that reminds me of? I said, who?

And he said Wolverine. And he said Wolverine, which I thought was quite charming. I like how he's trying to relate to you. He's like, I know what you're into. I get it, Dad. That's good stuff. Great stuff. Anyway, grab that gem, you guys.

We'll see you next week. Goodbye. Oh, that's funny stuff. That's great stuff, Mason. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like that Hubert Jackman. He's Wolverine. He's Wolverine.

I can do it. No, no, no, no. I can do it through the computer. No, we're doing it like this. Good stuff. See you later, guys. Bye, everybody. I'll put it in for real.

Is it just backer again? Yeah, of course it is. James, of course it is. Why are we like this? I don't know. Okay, wow. What a show. Did you hear it?

Yeah, it was good. You heard it, right? Yeah. You heard it, right? Yeah, and what's happened is I've actually, I mean, the aliens left it right. Yeah. You heard it right. Yeah, and what's happened is I've actually, I mean, the aliens left, obviously. Yeah. They left us here safe and sound, so that was pretty good.

Wait, they left the ship and they've left us on the ship? Yeah. Yeah, we're in possession of a fully functional alien spaceship right now. Yeah. True. Look, I was going to say, you know, what I learned here, I used to, like, reconnect with my estranged family. But you've actually pointed out that we now have unimaginable alien technology

at our fingertips. Yeah, sick. That's cool. That's actually bigger, I think, than the thing that I've done. So that's cool. Yeah. Yeah. That's much better.

Again, thank you so much to Colleen for putting this together. Thank you so much to everybody who's listened to this and listened to us for any length of time at any point in time. Yeah. And that's also cool, isn't it? It's been a very strange year. We're very grateful for anyone who has stuck around, anybody who's emailed in to say we kept their routine going

or we made their year a little bit better. So we very much appreciate that. We appreciate you out there. Well, I feel it's the opposite. So for me, this gave me a routine and things to do also. I mean, I have additional things to do. But you know what I'm saying, Mason. You know the things that I'm saying, don't you?

Just imagine in this fictional scenario that I am thinking clearly and I don't have COVID. You don't need to imagine it because this is all really happening. That's right, yes. So we will be back in, I think, early Feb. We were going to kick things off, of course, with a Morbius episode, but it's been delayed. So we'll be looking at, I know, the most anticipated movies of the year.

Maybe Moonfall. We'll just see what's going on, you know what I mean? Yeah. And look, I'm here. I'm pushing buttons in the spaceship and all the advanced technology in the world somehow isn't making the release of Morbius happen any earlier, unfortunately. That's brutal. It's making no change at all.

What a terrible start to be here. Yeah. I've got EMPs here. I've got nanotechnology. I've got all sorts. It's not working. It's playing Venom 2. We've seen it. We don't want that. Oh, no. That's the worst in-flight movie there is, Aliens. All right, thanks, everybody. We'll see you soon.

Grab that jam, you guys. We will see you later in the year. Goodbye. This podcast is part of the Planet Broadcasting Network. Visit planetbroadcasting.com for more podcasts from our great mates.
