Starting point is 00:00:00 James? I'm sure you're wondering why we have the avatar machines here. Actually, that, now that you mention it, I wasn't going to say anything because I didn't want to be rude. Okay, well, what I've, what I've realized is the reason we're so unpopular and unlike in the podcast community. I don't like this. It's because we're not adapted to the podcast environment. Oh. You know, we're just, we're just two regular dudes.
Starting point is 00:00:21 So what I'm thinking is we plug our brains into the avatar machines. Yeah, good. And then the avatar machines, what we'll do is we'll get all our podcast memories, the best podcast. because we'll think of them hard in our memories in our minds. Yeah. And then we'll pump them through into this machine. And then it will build us the perfect podcasting bodies. Oh.
Starting point is 00:00:39 And then we can go into the Austin comedy scene with them. That's exactly right. We can talk to Brendan Shaw. Whoever that is, I'm sure we can do that. That's what I'm saying. With the perfect podcasting bodies, perfectly adapted to the environment of podcasting. We can take these scuba masks off. We don't need them anymore.
Starting point is 00:00:57 We don't need them. And then we'll be able to thrive in a podcasting. podcast environment become the greatest podcasters and lead a rebellion of podcasting. Oh, okay. I guess we could do that also. And we could have podcast steeds. Okay. There's some sort of flying dragon type steeds.
Starting point is 00:01:12 And we hook in, do we? Yeah, with hair internet. So we're going to have hair internet also. Do these look like us? I mean, sort of. Sort of. Okay. I mean, we'll know once we'll build us the perfect body, so we'll know.
Starting point is 00:01:23 Oh, it builds the body. Yeah, it's going to do that. You made this? Some guy did in an alley. Okay, cool. I love this idea. Even if it was just a machine that got us to relive the greatest podcasting moments that we had in 2025. If it just did that, I'd be happy with it.
Starting point is 00:01:39 But it does more than that. It does more than that. Because why not overcomplicate it? Yeah, good point. Because I think once we've done this, and it's built as the perfect podcasting bodies to thrive in a podcasting environment, which we couldn't do before because we needed to wear the respirators the whole time. Yeah. Avatar. Next year, we're going to have even better podcasting memories because we're going to be peak podcasting.
Starting point is 00:01:58 Oh my God. And we've got to done that revolution. We're going to have done that at this point, this time next year. All right. So we're going to get in the machines. All right. Put the electrodes on. And then we're going to think of all our memories somewhat. Let's do it, but together.
Starting point is 00:02:09 Okay. In sync. Here we go. 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. And with me as always is my very special guest host, Austin Palace. Hey, baby, it's groovy to be here. Thanks, Austin.
Starting point is 00:02:30 You seem like you've lost your mojo. Yeah, Dr. Evil. He went back in time and he took my mojo again. Did he really? Yeah, that's right. Again, yeah. Was this? I'm assuming that you're saying Austin Powers three's in canon?
Starting point is 00:02:45 Yeah, man. Like that's already happened. Yeah, so two, he took your mojo. Oh, that was two, okay. Three, something else, gold member. Met my dad. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:02:54 Well, those, in this context, like, you're not meeting me during Austin Powers 2. I'm meeting you between. No, you're meeting. me after Austin Powers 3, I imagine. Okay, great. So in this case, yes, Dr. Evil has taken my mojo again, which is why I'm not as gruevies I could be. Is this going to be the plot of Austin Powers 4, or would that be a different movie?
Starting point is 00:03:10 That Dr. Evil steals my mojo and then I go on a podcast and talk about it. And I'm kind of like just kind of very... Yeah, matter of fact. Just matter of fact about it. Yeah, okay. That could be, that could be the plot. Yeah, okay. Yeah, I mean, you know, couldn't be any worse than, sorry, sorry to step over you
Starting point is 00:03:28 there. No, no, you're right. So it couldn't be any worse than any other idea they probably have for it. Yeah, I was just thinking, though, because I don't know if you remember the events of Austin Powers, too. You probably do because you're in it, but your mojo was in you the whole time. So do you think that maybe that's what's going to happen here? Then what was that fluid they extracted from me then? I honestly don't know.
Starting point is 00:03:44 What did they do with it afterwards? I think I don't know if somebody drank it. Dr. Evil drank it. And did he get my mojo? Yeah, I think for a little bit at least, yeah. I don't really remember because that happened in the 60s or the early 2000s. So I don't. I think it was 99.
Starting point is 00:03:57 But yeah, that's what you say. Yeah. Yeah, it's interesting, though. It's something to think about. Yeah. Yeah. Great. Thanks for stopping by Austin.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Absolutely. Stay shagadelic. You too, man. Thanks, thanks, man. So, Nick Mason. Oh, hey, I'm late. I'm late to the podcast. Don't worry about what happened.
Starting point is 00:04:12 I'm glad you're here. Good. So, uh, it doesn't matter to me what happens at the start of the podcast. I should rock up late all the time. Clearly you filled enough time. Yeah, I'll definitely. There's always somebody here. That's what I figured.
Starting point is 00:04:23 Yeah, there's always somebody just waiting around to be on a podcast. Yeah. Let's start with this, Mason. I've always wondered of the logic behind what you're doing just generally but also with a can opening thing Are you sort of are you adopting a real kind of like Is it meant to be like a laid back vibe? Is that what?
Starting point is 00:04:40 We're all cracking a can. Is that what you're taking from it? I think so. Then yes. It's open to interpretation. It's like how what does reservoir dogs mean? Reservoir dogs. Reservoir dogs mean? It's French. What does it mean?
Starting point is 00:04:52 Yeah. The entire movie. Because Quentin Tarantino is like what is the title mean? Like he's been asked and he's like, well what does it mean you. Because when I tell you what it means, then that becomes the official explanation. Yeah. What do you bring to me over the gap? This is a real death of the author situation. No, it's a real reservoir dog situation. Because you know what it means, but you want us to take our interpretation. I know exactly what it means. But I love your interpretation, which may be
Starting point is 00:05:13 right. I think it's, I always thought it was a vibe kind of thing, like a laid back vibe, but is it a party situation? Reservoir dogs. I guess people can tell. No, the can thing. I think the can thing, I guess you can take from it whatever you want. It's not for me to say. I guess me overanalyzing it is ruining it for a lot of people right now. When your art is out in the world, that no longer belongs to you. It's true. Death of the author. Mason, Reservoir Dogs.
Starting point is 00:05:34 The Reservoir Dogs situation. Anyway, it's a big week for movies. What do you think Reservoir Dogs means? What do I think it means? No, no, just a bunch of scummy dudes. Yeah, right? Because, you know, in Melbourne, reservoir is full of scum. It is full of scummy dudes.
Starting point is 00:05:53 That's coming up. My grandma used to live there. Well, yeah, then she died. Now it's coming up. That's right. God bless her. But I guess, but also there's a movie for music. I can't remember who directed it.
Starting point is 00:06:03 It's probably one of the Cullen Brothers or something. But it's got Clooney and it. It's called Welcome to Colin Wood. Not Collingwood. What is that from? It's from the late 90s, early 2000s. Yeah. It's got George Clooney and it's got Sam Rockwell.
Starting point is 00:06:16 Who directed it? Do you have it there? Anthony Russo and Joe Russo. Russo. The Russo brothers. There we go. I knew it was somebody I remembered. I knew it was somebody I remember it.
Starting point is 00:06:25 But it's about a bunch of down and outs doing like a, like, like, in the olden times doing like a safe heist. Okay. Is it good? Yeah. Fifty-five percent run tomatoes can't be that good. I liked it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:36 I'm just saying 55 percent. I think I bought the DVD for a dollar. So like for a dollar it was worth it. It's pretty good for a dollar. But anyway, even though it's not Collingwood in Melbourne, similar down and out vibe. Sure. Okay.
Starting point is 00:06:47 Interesting. You know, Collingwood? I know what it's like. You know what Collingwood and Reservoir are like? You're ready to pass judgment on those suburbs? Scumbags. Yeah, scumbags.
Starting point is 00:06:56 Absolutely scumbags. Yeah. If you move there, you're a skumbankank. If you live there and you moved out, you're still a scumbag. That's exactly right. Stay where you are. If you've spent even a moment there like I have. What?
Starting point is 00:07:03 Scumbag. Yeah, that tracks. If you ever driven through it, scumbag. Mason, it's 28 years later time. It is true. Or as I like to call it 23 years later. That's a little joke. That's from me to you.
Starting point is 00:07:14 Can I use that? Yeah, you can use it, but you have to say that I told you it every time you use it. Okay. All right. What happened to death of the author, man? What happened to reservoir dogs? What happened to reservoir dogs, man? I thought your art was.
Starting point is 00:07:27 Free. Not this one. Okay. Austin Powers is back. Hello. Hey, it's Shagadelic to be back, honestly. Why are you back? Um, well, I just liked the vibe.
Starting point is 00:07:36 Did you? Yeah. Of the last week. Yeah. It was, um, it made me horny. Did it? Yeah. That's not the vibe that we normally go for.
Starting point is 00:07:44 So I mean, anything you brought that to this. Well, I mean, you know, I guess the, you know, the mix of podcasting and my sort of shagadelic, you know, general vibe. Okay. I think it made me horny. Okay. The Weekly Planet podcast makes me horny. You can quote that.
Starting point is 00:08:02 I won't quote that. That's a quote from you, obviously. That's right. Me, Austin Powers, yes. But if you want to go at any point, that would be great. No, I think I'll stay. Okay, great. I'll stay all podcast.
Starting point is 00:08:14 I'll wait. What's that? I'm receiving a call on my issue I have some sort of watch that's a video screen or something. Yeah, you do, yeah. Yeah, great. That's that guy. Basel Exposition. He's actually called me away to do a, a second.
Starting point is 00:08:27 And there's a Fembot probably. Oh, and that makes me exceedingly horny. Does it? I will say that, yes. That's how they trick me every time. I guess you go to where you could be most horny. Is that the idea? And while the weekly planet makes me horny, and you can quote me on that,
Starting point is 00:08:41 I'm actually going to leave on a sexy spy mission. I'm going to get in my Shaguer, which is parked outside. Yeah, yeah, I saw it. Yeah. And I'm going to go on that sexy mission. Great. Well, obviously you're welcome back any time. Thanks.
Starting point is 00:08:52 I appreciate that. I'll see you later. Austin Bowers. Goodbye. James. Okay. Nick Mason. Hey, what's up?
Starting point is 00:09:00 Did you get a new car? Don't worry about it. It's the whole thing. I don't care to explain it. You don't care to explain a Union Jack painted like Jaguar out the front there. Look, Austin Powers gifted me one, all right? Oh, wow. Yeah, he did.
Starting point is 00:09:15 Is it a used one? Because it's got an odd sense to it. It is used. Yes, it's very clearly used. Yeah, wow. Yeah. It smells like British people in there. Yeah, it's like buffed in weird places.
Starting point is 00:09:24 You know what I mean? Yeah, it really seemed that way. Yeah. I don't like it But anyways, welcome back Because we're talking Superman this week, aren't we? That's so true, isn't it? It's big movie time.
Starting point is 00:09:35 Big movie alert. It's back. So, uh, what's exciting, of course? The demolition charges have been set in the building. Not again. Because it's a big movie alert. Bram! Brah! I don't like it.
Starting point is 00:09:51 That's podcasting, isn't it? Can you get the guy in or remove the bigger movie alert? Yeah, I've been trying, but he's not answering his phone. He probably had a big movie alert on his house. He might have had his own big movie alert, yeah. And now he's dead. Yeah, probably. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:02 So now in the lead up to that, though, we've got a bunch of news. Love it. Oh, we got, what have we got here, Mason? Welcome. Thanks. To you. Oh, thanks. I was talking to listeners.
Starting point is 00:10:11 Yeah, welcome listeners. Welcome. But also to me. I mean, you could welcome me. No. Interesting. I'm just not going to do that. So neither of us are going to be welcome to our own podcast.
Starting point is 00:10:22 But I think people... Is this a standoff? People are welcoming us. there he is and isn't that good enough? No. You want a literal welcome. Yes. Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:31 One, two, three, we'll welcome each other. Okay. One, two, three. Get stuffed. Now, that's a classic bit. That's a classic not welcome the other man for the podcast bit. It certainly is, but everybody, you're welcome. You're welcome.
Starting point is 00:10:47 Get ready for this because it's a huge week. Huge week. We've also got the news of the week. In the lead up to that, we're going to talk about a new director for Bond. A nude, a nude erector for Bond. A nude erector for Bond. I don't want. I don't welcome. He's getting on a bit in years and he needs a nude erector.
Starting point is 00:11:04 I don't welcome this crude language, Mason. There's a pill for that. There's a pill for that now. Don't eat it too good. Yeah, I wouldn't even know about it. I don't even know. We do get a lot of offers. Do we?
Starting point is 00:11:15 For erectile dysfunction pills. Is that not just spam in the... No, no. I mean, like, brands being like, can you sell dick pills to people? Okay, to your audience of non-functioning dick abs. Yeah, that's how they framed it. And I'm like, look, I think that's true of all. All of them.
Starting point is 00:11:29 Yeah, but I think all of our listeners whose dicks don't work, they're going on their own journey. They're figuring it out. They're figuring out on their own. But no, the actual fact, we don't advertise anything medicinal. That's true. Like, it's a lot of, like, weed gummies and stuff. And I don't care, do whatever you want, but I'm not selling you medication. That's right.
Starting point is 00:11:44 Yeah. But Variety have confirmed that the next Bond director is Deney Villanue. That's right. We're of course directed Dune 1, June 2, soon to be Dune 3. Soon to be Dune 3. Blade Runner, 249. That's right. Prisoners.
Starting point is 00:11:58 Enemy. Enemy. He's the best. He's an incredible director. And his movies are finally making money, so they're like, let's put him on a big money spinner. Yeah. Variety have also said that they're looking for someone under 30 and specifically ruled out Henry Cavill. Oh, he's out.
Starting point is 00:12:15 Sorry, Henry Cavill fans. Yeah. Get back to Highlander. Aaron Taylor Johnson. Ooh, he's out. Get back to Morbius or wherever you play. And Idris Alba. Get back to Luther.
Starting point is 00:12:25 That's right. It just had was like 50 toes, so that makes sense, I guess. He would have been good, like, yeah, 10 years ago. What was he doing recently? Because he was on chicken shop date. He was old, like, what was he from promoting? What he was promoting, yeah. Probably the suicide squad.
Starting point is 00:12:38 No, it's, um, he's in that movie where he and John Sina are the president and the prime minister. Me and John Sina are the president and prime minister who are got to do action flip. They've got to do action flip. Yeah. I think they're too old to do action flip. Is this a real movie? Yeah, it's called heads of state.
Starting point is 00:12:55 Are they do action? James, how could I ever invent something? Do they do action flip together? I bet they do. Is it an action movie? Yes. Cool, man. US President Will Derringer and British Prime Minister Sam Clark have a not so friendly
Starting point is 00:13:06 and very public rivalry. However, when Air Force One gets shot down over enemy territory, they find and the cuts off. So I'm going to shoot love. Action flip. They find love on a desert island. And action flip. They do an action flip on a desert island and they fall in love. That's wonderful, actually.
Starting point is 00:13:22 That's fun. I agree. You're going to love this, Mason. Go on. Three actors on Amazon's wish list. Harris Dickinson, who was in Baby Girl. I don't hate it. Jacob Allardy.
Starting point is 00:13:30 He was Elvis recently. And Frankenstein. And Frankenstein and Saltburn. And Saltburn. Yeah. Australian also. That's true. He does look like a smug prick as well.
Starting point is 00:13:40 Yeah. I was initially against it because, again, he is the size of Frankenstein's monster. Yeah. But also he has the smirkness. He has the private school smirkness. And you need that. I don't know. I don't know about that, though.
Starting point is 00:13:52 There hasn't been Australian born before. And of course, Tom Holland. Come on. Come on, yeah, I know, I know, but come on, man. I don't think it's going to be tolerated. No, I don't think so either. He was already young chartered. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:04 He's already a young man. I guess he could be young Bond, but again. He's 30 also. And he's, Bond needs to be a little bit imposing. Shaker not stirred. He needs to be a little bit. Shack and not stirred.
Starting point is 00:14:14 Excuse me, Shack and not stirred. He's jumping up trying to get. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The by the barthender's like, no, I guess I'll get out my martini shaker for mice. Here we go. The nose ball. This is him jumping up. He tried to get on the chair.
Starting point is 00:14:27 Tom Holland, I mean, James Bond. God bless you, Tom Holland. We love you. We hope you get the job. Do we? Yes. Do you hope that? Kind of.
Starting point is 00:14:34 Okay. All right. What do you want to see in this, James? You want to go back to the 60s? Yeah, maybe. Do you want him to be like, oh, I'm so sad. I've got issues. I've got generational trauma.
Starting point is 00:14:44 No, I want him to be like a full psychopath. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Well, we recently did a comic book club on a, what was that James Bond? It's called Your Cold Cold, Cold Heart. It's through Dynamite Comics. It was written by Garth, Enis. who created the boys.
Starting point is 00:14:57 Now, you could look at that at big sandwich dot co. I think that's an incredible comic. So that is, that's the worst bond you've ever seen. Yeah, I think all the Dynamite comic books, Dynamite James Bond comic books are very good. So there you go. Yeah, I kind of, I would like modern, what I want, I think modern bond,
Starting point is 00:15:14 I want a psychopath. Yeah. And I also just want missions. Mm-hmm. I've had enough of, he doesn't need an arc. No. He just needs to go on missions and shoot people. and not cry about it.
Starting point is 00:15:26 That's exactly right. It's important. But I think after a reaction sequence, he says, I'm not going to cry about it. But if you want to cry about it, that's okay. But I'm not going to. And here's some resources. They put the links and they put the audience.
Starting point is 00:15:40 Yeah. They put him, he holds up his card and it's got a QR code on it and you scan it in the A QR code. Yeah, that's right. And you scan it in the cinemas. We're all encouraged to have our phones out the whole time for when he pulls the QR code. And it takes you to have a bigsook.
Starting point is 00:15:53 dot gov. That's right. Yeah. What do you think about that? I love that. Yeah. That's good. All right.
Starting point is 00:16:00 So Bond. Is it happening? You're going to have to buy have a bigsook. gov. Okay. I can't. It's a government website. They can put anything up.
Starting point is 00:16:07 Yeah. Kea Starmer's going to put up something. It'll really embarrass you. He would, wouldn't he? Yeah, that's right. He's always up to that. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:13 And I love that idea of just missions and he's friend to nobody. Yeah. Just that comic. Do you want to drive an Aston Martin car? We care about any of that. Well, it's too bad. He's driving an Aston Martin car, unless another car brand offers more money. Oh, like a Fiat.
Starting point is 00:16:28 Like a Fiat? And the Mercedes. Yes. Yeah. Do you care about what kind of style do you want him in? I mean, I think for the money. Do you want him to have a watch that shoots a laser? Yes.
Starting point is 00:16:38 Or you don't want that stuff? You want to more grounded? No, I want to watch the chutes a laser. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fine. Yeah. What about a grot watch?
Starting point is 00:16:46 Yeah, a grot watch for a grot. Yeah. Absolutely I do. I think they overcorrected with the last few to like bring it back more to an attempt to bring it aesthetically back to like classic Bond without but keeping him as a set kind of sad sacks he has he doesn't have to have a little walth of PPK because Bond has a wall for PPK like a modern Bond wouldn't do that
Starting point is 00:17:09 you know what I mean because it's a witty little funny little gun but he can keep it in his sock or the front of his pants he can keep in the yeah certainly room one in the sock one in the front of the pan two guns that's right Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, cool. Legend of Zelda casting. Go on.
Starting point is 00:17:24 I've not heard of these. There's a live, me neither. There's a live action movie. And if you go to the official Nintendo Twitter or whatever, it says this. This is Miyamoto. Love that, by the way. Love it. I'm pleased to announce that for the live action film of The Legend of Zelda.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Zelda will be played by Bo Braggerson sign. Question. Shigeru. Yeah. What's his first name? Is it Miyamoto? Is it? Is it?
Starting point is 00:17:46 Is it? Is it? Is it? Isn't it? I don't know. It's not Miyamoto Shigeru, is it? It might be. Is it?
Starting point is 00:17:51 Because Japanese names are the other way around. Really? Yes. But are we saying it? I'm looking. In Japanese. Yes. I realize I can't read, I can't read Japanese.
Starting point is 00:18:01 It says Miyamoto is a surname though, but yeah, maybe it is backwards. Okay. So it's, okay. I don't know what you think. Okay. You know that right, though. I do know that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Bro, Bo Braggson, son. Okay. And the fake name that somebody's made up on the spot. I'm saying San is in like, okay, and Link, Benjamin, Evan, Ainsworth, San. So that's... I see you is good.
Starting point is 00:18:24 I'm very much looking forward to seeing both of them on the big screen, tweet too. The film is scheduled to be released in theatres on May 7, 2027. Thank you for your patience. You're welcome. You're welcome, Shigeru Minamoto.
Starting point is 00:18:35 I mean, you took your bloody time. I thought this was animated. I forgot that this was live action if I ever knew that. His first name is Shigeru, because his wife's name... He's also Shigero. It's Yusuka Miyamoto, so...
Starting point is 00:18:46 Very good. How do you feel about these people? people you've never heard of. Ah, great. They look suitably elfin and kind of, yeah, you know. And probably young. They've got that vibe to them. Okay, great.
Starting point is 00:18:56 He is 25. Okay. And she is, let me check. Do you mind if I check? You're allowed to check. Okay, great. We could have had Tom Holland and Anya Taylor Joy. 21.
Starting point is 00:19:08 I agree. I guess. I'm looking at the things that they're in. Or Tom Holland and Zendaya. I agree. Or Tom Holland and Chris Pratt. Oh, that's good. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:19:17 All right. I don't recognize any of the things. Well, Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg, and it's an uncharted sequel. Oh. And they've both got the big mustache. Oh. Right? Oh, you were going to love this.
Starting point is 00:19:26 I just realized he's actually in one of your favorite movies. What is it? He was Pinocchio in the 2022 live action remake. Wow. You probably remember him. I remember him really well because I watched that movie for some reason and you didn't. Would you like me to watch it? Would it make you feel better?
Starting point is 00:19:40 I think we should do a movie commentary where you watch it and I just leave immediately. Okay. And you're just there by yourself. All right. I'm fine with that. That's great. Do we get money from it? Maybe.
Starting point is 00:19:50 But we might not. We might not. I'm not doing it for nobody. Wow, all right. Yeah. Not even for the love of the game. What love and what game? You love movies and the game is Battleship.
Starting point is 00:20:01 Most movies are fine and Battleship is not a good game. It's just grids. It's fucking boring. Wow. That's someone who's played Battleship a lot. Okay. Are you B2? No.
Starting point is 00:20:11 Great. Are you another spot on the grid? I am. Oh, wow. cares. It's a fucking stupid game. And it goes fucking forever. God, you've got no joy in your life. There's no joy.
Starting point is 00:20:22 Mason, it's just agreed. If it wasn't called Battleship, it would be like just guess some fucking numbers. That sounds great. It's bullshit. They could make a whole TV show on that. We're going to trademark this right away. Guess some numbers? Number way.
Starting point is 00:20:36 You see tilt the room? Yeah. You see that one. It's moving around. What's that one? And it's just like discs on a, on a, and they just push the discs off. Yeah, yeah. What's that called?
Starting point is 00:20:47 Money. People love that. I don't know. You introduced that to me. I've never heard of it. I've already forgotten what it's called. But I think guess some numbers would be great. Is that the number?
Starting point is 00:20:56 It's not. Oh. All right. You can guess some more numbers, though. No, I quit. Well, that is always an option. We did tell you that at the start of the game. So I guess this week's episode will only be two minutes long.
Starting point is 00:21:09 Good night, everyone. You recognize the battleship is just guessing numbers. Yeah, of course. It's fucking nothing. Hmm. I don't like any... I don't like any game where I could, like, see through... You don't like any game.
Starting point is 00:21:22 No, that's true. I don't like board games, generally, because often you go to a thing and people, let's play a board game. It's like, why don't we just chat? No, see, but you're not against games there. You're against enforced fun. That is true also. Yeah, you're right. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:21:37 But, like, I don't like when I can see through the mechanics of a game. Yeah. I find it when I'm like, I'm just doing boring math. Like, that's when I'm like, I hate this. Right. Yeah. Anyway. What we're talking about?
Starting point is 00:21:49 Zelda? See, Uno is fun. There's like a strategy to it, right? It's just putting numbers next to comparable numbers, though. No, it's not actually. Okay. Because there's strategy to it? The strategy to it.
Starting point is 00:22:04 Well, there's a strategy to battleship as well. No, it's not. I mean, it's just, you just kind of, you pick one. We're talking about this too much. You pick one. I think we're going to get a hold. And then you just, you know there's one there and you go around until you find it. That's a strategy.
Starting point is 00:22:17 But that's the strategy. So there's no nuance to it. It's just literally guessing. You want some nuance. What is the nuance you want? There's no, because if there was a way to fix it, they would have. What the nuance should be is some of the ships have innocent people on board. And sometimes you're like, I'm doing really well.
Starting point is 00:22:36 I've hit this ship four times and you're like, there was. Yeah, but again, there was some farmers on that ship. It's not real because it's just building, putting well building upon a boring, it's like skeleton of an idea. Okay. That's what I'm telling you. Okay. You want a good game?
Starting point is 00:22:49 Monopoly deal. Good game. Strategy. What is that? It's Monopoly but a card game. Monopoly sucks, but Monopoly deal is good. And it goes for like 10 minutes. Okay.
Starting point is 00:22:58 It's opposed to monopoly, which goes for your entire fucking life. And that's capitalism, baby. Mason, we move it alone. All right. If we got to. It's called Strangeth. It's called Trailers Ahoi. Yes.
Starting point is 00:23:08 Honk. Trails a hoi. Honk. It's our good friend this ship that brings us the trailers every week. You're bloody trailers. Shut up. You're sure. Shut up.
Starting point is 00:23:18 If I wasn't bloody, if I wasn't a seaborne vessel, I'd come over there and I'd beat your bloody head in. Oh, you're the boat, not the man on the boat. No, this is... Who's the guy then? What? Who's the guy standing on the boat? That's my, Barry. Barry, fuck you.
Starting point is 00:23:32 Does he talk? Was it just the boat? He's just crying. Yeah, good. Wow. Wow. You don't even do anything, Barry. It's a talking boat that operates itself.
Starting point is 00:23:43 You're fucking useless. Just jump in the ocean. Put some rocks in your pocket first. Dipshit. Anyway, Mason. Yeah. Sinners. The boat's furious, by the way.
Starting point is 00:23:53 So, I'm here. I'm glad. You have to get in the water eventually. You're going to go to the beach, aren't you? By the end of the summer, aren't you? I'm not going to go deep. I'm not going to go deep, Mason. I'm going to go ankle deep.
Starting point is 00:24:03 It's a barge. It's going to get stuck in the sand. Yeah, but you know what he's got. What? A dingy. Filled with depth charges. Whatever. Who's going to bring him out, Barry?
Starting point is 00:24:12 Yeah, maybe. Barry's going to kill himself before that happens. I don't. I don't know, man. And you know that. I think he's got a look in his eye. Yeah, look at his eye. It suggests he's got a thirst for revenge now that I think's going to keep him going.
Starting point is 00:24:25 We'll see. Yeah. See you next week. Dipschitz. Mason. Yes. Oh, we've never liked each other, me and this boat, by the line. Yeah, I've noticed.
Starting point is 00:24:32 Yeah. I don't think it's ever come up yet. All right. The final trailer for Fantastic Four First Steps. That's right. A lot of things going on here. The song, of course. The thing doesn't want to say it's clobbering time.
Starting point is 00:24:46 That's correct. and he has a beard. He has a beard. How's he doing that? Rock beard. Rock beard. But, yeah. Probably beard beard.
Starting point is 00:24:53 Do you reckon he went to another dimension and he got stuck there for a while? Then he came back and he had rock beard? Because of the time displacement. Maybe or I reckon there might be like some sort of subplot in the movie where like, you know, Reed and Sue, they're off doing science stuff. And he's like, oh, I can't do anything. I just punch. I got to do anything.
Starting point is 00:25:10 I'm just going to be sad. And I've got to sit in by a pub but it'd grow a beard in my tracky dacks. Yeah. You know, so maybe that. Isn't often future thing, not often, but the future thing has had the beard. Yeah, like when he's, you know, when we go to a Marvel future where he's been around for 500 years, he's got the rock beard. Okay. He doesn't, hasn't had, doesn't mean chill, chiseling at all.
Starting point is 00:25:29 Exactly. Okay, yeah. No, fair enough. I mean, I think of the travelers, this is probably my favorite. It's also got the, this version of the Silver Surfer. That visual effect is looking very good. It's very good, yeah. More Galactus.
Starting point is 00:25:40 Apparently, there's a lot of practical stuff in this. Like, they use a guy in a suit for Galactus for a lot of it. Practice. Very good. Thank you. Yeah. And they'll end up in the, um, the MCU at the end. Because we saw at the end of Thunderbolts, their rocket came in from another dimension.
Starting point is 00:25:55 That's true. Spoiler alert for the Thunderbolts. It could have been the Beatles rocket ship. Could have been the Beatles, aren't they? Yeah. There are four on it. Name another. We're in the MCU.
Starting point is 00:26:04 That's exactly right. Where's Dr. Strange? Is that what they be? Psychedelic, etc. Is that what they'd be curious about? Yeah, where is he? We want to look at time gems or whatever. Have some Dr. Strange.
Starting point is 00:26:15 Oh, okay. They're on there. They're on there. They're on there. Yeah, it's right. A psychedelic journey. I'm John Lennon and I'm not shot yet. Yet. That's right.
Starting point is 00:26:25 I know. I know it's going to happen. I hope Robert Danny Jr. doesn't shoot me. Everything's too woke nowadays. That's present day, John Lennon, as we know. Great stuff, Mason. So that, of course, is coming two weeks after Fantastic Four. But then the ship opens and it's actually the monkeys.
Starting point is 00:26:44 They killed the Beatles. monkeys, we killed the Beatles. Exactly. People say we monkey around, but actually we killed the Beatles. That's how we got them. They thought we were monkeying around. But they were loaded guns.
Starting point is 00:26:59 What are the monkeys from? I think, I don't know. I think they're American. Yeah, okay. Whatever, it's fine. It's fine. It's fine for us to do this, I think. It's not illegal.
Starting point is 00:27:09 No, it's certainly not illegal. I took them to Davy Jones locker. What? Which is my, I buried them in my basement. Because Davey Jones is in the monkeys. He was, was he? Yeah, yeah. That's a metaphor for the bottom of the sea.
Starting point is 00:27:19 Was that his real name? I don't know. Because I'm manufactured whatever. They used to mime and not really play their instruments. Something like that, yeah. Yeah. I just saw that in the Simpsons. I don't know whether that's true.
Starting point is 00:27:27 And Marge died or something. If you saw that, if you saw that. What? Well, in the future. They went there's a future of a future. She's going to die in the future. Exactly, we're all going to die in the future. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:35 There's been no establishing law that she's somehow immortal. Unlike the X-Files. Yeah. That's absolutely true. Scully's immortal? Yeah. Great. She could experiment them on.
Starting point is 00:27:45 That's cool. By the aliens. But in the episode, Clyde Bruchman's final repose, where Clyde Bruchman can see how everybody dies, he says to her you don't. That sucks. Mason. When we were talking about Hawkeye season two last week,
Starting point is 00:28:00 and apparently Jeremy Renner was offered half the money for the same amount of work that he did for the first season. Well, the In Snyder has weighed in, as well as Pucks Matt Bologna, and they said, original plans for season two would be setting one location similar to the raid pitting the Hawkeyes against Clint Barton's brother, Barney Barton, or Trick Shot. Oh.
Starting point is 00:28:21 Yes. Disney Marvel deliberately made Renner a lowball off of a Hawkeye season two, and that they were aware that he reject being paid half as much money, giving them reason to not have to make a second season of the show. They could just not make a second season on the show. No, they're giving them a reason. Because you need a reason. You can't just not do something.
Starting point is 00:28:39 You need to explain it. And the reason is you... That's... Then you know that it's good? You can someone be like, why, you just be like, I don't want it. That's great. I love that. Why not?
Starting point is 00:28:50 Because I won't. That's why. That's right. They should just be like, get me to do it. I'll do it. Why are you doing Hawkeye's season two? Fuck off. Jeremy.
Starting point is 00:28:59 What do you think about that? Jeremy? What do you make it? You like it so much. Make some cardboard sets in your house. I'm sure everybody will watch it. It's not free, Jeremy. Jeremy.
Starting point is 00:29:14 First of all, I have to pay you more, apparently. Apparently, because that's in your contract. And then we're going to build everything or whatever. Put a building. I got to find a building. Oh, let's just film it in a building. What building? That one's got people in it.
Starting point is 00:29:28 They're already full. They're doing photocopies and stuff. They've got their own jobs. And then what are you got to eye some other people? Yeah. God, Jeremy. When you shoot the arrows, who do you think goes and gets them? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:38 Jeremy? I don't know, but somebody, I can see him. I've got to pay whoever it is. There's a line in this budget. We've got an arrow boy. That's right. Which reminds me he's not doing anything right now. Arrow boy.
Starting point is 00:29:50 Arrow boy. Get me a cup of coffee. Let me finish with an arrow in it. So you have to do it. That's how you get him. That's how you get him. Anyway, speaking of, is Chris Hemsworth leaving the MCU Mason? Nope.
Starting point is 00:30:06 No. Anyway, this is a statement he made, which I think we just to post. Because he loves $50 million. He loves being in it and getting $50 million. dollars. Yeah. And they bring it back and they give him $50 million. And he gets another $50 million.
Starting point is 00:30:17 He said, playing Thor has been one of the greatest honors of my life. For the last 15 years, I've held Mjolny and then Stormbreaker as the god of thunder. But what made it truly special was sharing it all with you? Me? No. Oh.
Starting point is 00:30:31 Everybody, not just you. I think he said, yeah, he didn't name you personally. No, but it would include me. No. Also, I think what made it truly special was getting $50 million. Yeah, yeah. Like multiple times. That would have been really good.
Starting point is 00:30:45 You know, I've loved spending time with me kids at Myron Bay, but I also love $50 million. And I think it's time to pick up that hammer or whatever I had last time and stand on a green box in a green room and raise that axe or hammer or whatever that I had and hold it up and say something about Odin or whatever. Yep. And then they'll give me 50.
Starting point is 00:31:07 They're going to put in a different color eye contact because I got my eye pulled out of one, but no, I'm not doing that. I'm doing that. I'm going to stand on a green box in a green room in my shorts and t-shirt. And they're going to add all the thaw to me. And then they're going to give me a $50 million. And I say, good on you, boys.
Starting point is 00:31:26 You're packed in your shoes and your love with this character and made everything to me. Thank you for making my journey through the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Unforgetable. Also, he says next up... Did you say, um, forgettable? Is that what you said? I did. He said, unforgettable. And then he said next up, Doomsday.
Starting point is 00:31:44 So, yeah, he's got to be at least in Doomsday and probably make another Thor movie be on. It's rumoured that he wants Sam, is his name Sam Hargrave, the guy? No, he wants $50 million. That's what he wants. You know, the extraction movie. Is it Sam Hargrave director, though? Sam Hargrave, yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:03 I can't wait to sit in a room in my compound in Byron Bay that they've painted green temporarily and stand on a green box. Temporarily. That's right. and hold the dumbbell that I was already lifting and they'll green screen it out and put in a hammer or an axe or whatever and they'll take a single photo of me and then they'll make that Thor for the movie and then I'll get a 50 billion dollars
Starting point is 00:32:28 also like he's not I mentioned I was just in Fiji we went past an island at one point and it was one there was an island like Google owns and the guys on the boat were like yeah Chris Hemsworth is like literally there right now and all the kids like freaked out obviously even though we couldn't see him because we were a long way away and if we weren't closer we'd be killed absolutely but the Google guys
Starting point is 00:32:51 by the Google guns so get back to fucking England Chris Hemsworth he's there for a month apparently he's supposed to be filming Avengers Doomsday well he doesn't need to be because they took that photo on him
Starting point is 00:33:05 in his compound in the room in the green screen lifting his dumbbell they've done it they've filmed they're going to fill the rest in. Not with AI, an overworked visual effects guys. Thank goodness.
Starting point is 00:33:17 The AI is going to do his voice. Yeah, good. Yeah. That's good and fun. It is good and fun. You got to, you got to just go in without knowing anything.
Starting point is 00:33:25 Yep. It's fun. That's right. It's fun to know stuff. Except when it comes to Spider-Man, in which case we want to know everything before it happens. That's right. And here we go.
Starting point is 00:33:32 Let's do that. There's a new costume reveal. They revealed it entirely, as you might have mentioned off air or on because they were going to start filming. That's great. Doors. And they did, and we're seeing this new costume, which is all like old costumes, but a little bit of new stuff. Looks good. It does look good. It's got external web shooters,
Starting point is 00:33:48 which you like. I do like that? Yeah, do? Yeah, sort of, uh, sort of, sort of clunky. Yeah. It is to me again, once again, once again, very reminiscent of the 1970s. Yes. Nicholas Hammond one. Absolutely. It looks, it looks good, I think. I agree. Now, there's speculation on the villains. I think we even talked about Mr. Reverse colors. Oh, yes. As being the one, but according to Daniel Richmond, it's not him. Okay. But they recently-old. He's also a big liar sometimes. He often gets things right. I don't think it is.
Starting point is 00:34:13 Didn't he say something recently? Some, some DC thing property? And James Gun was like, no. Maybe, probably, yeah. Was it that Robin thing? It was the Robin. Robin's going to be in Batman too or whatever.
Starting point is 00:34:22 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe then he's a big liar. Maybe he's a big liar. Yeah. But maybe others are lying to him. That's right. But he's a sweet, sweet boy who just has the best of intentions and he has beauty in his heart.
Starting point is 00:34:33 Yeah. And he believes everything everyone says. And that's worked out well so far. Are you talking about yourself? Is that what this is? Have you gone off track? Yeah, yeah, but he's never met a liar before, you know? Because he brings a good energy into the world, and people respond to that in a wonderful way.
Starting point is 00:34:47 Okay. Yeah, maybe it's that. Yeah, yeah. And then I met a man, and he was like, sir, sir, and he was crying. And he said, you're such a beautiful man, sir. You know, and this man was a four-star general, this man. Was he? Yeah, yeah, yeah, and he was like, sir, you're so beautiful.
Starting point is 00:35:00 Like actual tears. Yeah, absolutely, yes, that's right. And he was a big masculine man. Big man. Who wouldn't normally cry. No, but he did cry when he saw me. And he said, you got a beautiful. That must have been quite moving or it's something you thought about for a little bit after.
Starting point is 00:35:14 I forgot about it. Until now. Yeah. So, but there is like gang kind of symbols that you see in some of the set photos. Some people have said, is this a silver samurai thing? I don't know whether it would be that. I'm an odd choice. Also, like, that's an X-Men villain more than anything else.
Starting point is 00:35:31 But I don't know. Yeah. I thought it was going to be Mr. Reverse colors. I thought it isn't, and the Scorpion is involved somehow? Yeah, there's a bunch of minor villains in it. that will pop up. But there is a bigger threat. Oh, was the Hulk and the Punisher are in it also.
Starting point is 00:35:43 That's right. Oh, yeah, we saw, we saw, we have, obviously we haven't seen the Hulk yet. Yeah. Because Mark Rufflow not on set and also. You just put him in. You just put him in forever. Yeah. But we have seen, we have seen John Bernthal as the Punisher.
Starting point is 00:35:56 And he's got a more of a cleaned-up book. He's got the very. A tight fade. He doesn't even, he's got the very crisp, pristine punisher skull. They're going for a more like, costumingy look. He doesn't have the white gloves and the white boots. But I think he could. If you look at that thing, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:36:11 I reckon you could contrive a way that he has to be wearing. Because he wants to. Yeah, because he wants to. Why are you wearing those? Because I want to. Because I want to do. Because I'm crazy. How many guns do you have?
Starting point is 00:36:21 Oh, you've only got one gun. I have all the guns. I'm going to wear my little white boots and gloves. Yeah, I love that. Yeah, all in all, it's looking really good from what we can see from these photos. And that's all. Good Tom Holland's back, I guess, because he seems excited about it. He does.
Starting point is 00:36:37 He did that thing where he opened. He was a set of doors And they opened And then he walks away from the doors Yeah What's his deal? Why wasn't he The other side of the doors?
Starting point is 00:36:47 Yeah Why did he open the doors If he was going to go in the Exactly Maybe he got scared He might have gotten scared Yeah Doesn't he doesn't he says
Starting point is 00:36:55 Like let's go We're going on a big adventure I'm on Spider-Man again I'm in spider I have to But I've got to cross the road So if you can help me I'm going to go out
Starting point is 00:37:03 I cross the road I can't find my mum or dad Great Good on Tom Holland, who is 30, I think. I close to. That's right. Anyway, to some We're in Hell news.
Starting point is 00:37:15 Oh, yes. What is it? We're in Hell might as well. That's correct. While we're here, fans can now interact with Stan Lee in an enclosed booth at the Los Angeles Convention Center. I'm trapped true believers.
Starting point is 00:37:27 Yeah. Let me out. You might be like, that's incredible. I don't think that. He must be doing really well. He died. He died. He died.
Starting point is 00:37:33 He died. He died, Jan. That's right. He did die. He died in 2018 at age 95. Yeah. But luckily, he was. His likeness is owned by a company called like Blammo or something.
Starting point is 00:37:42 They're called Cartoon with a K Studios. There it is. Okay. They got the rights to his likeness and the signature before his death. So people are screaming at Disney about this. Disney can't do anything about it. This one is not Disney. No.
Starting point is 00:37:55 That's right. Believe it or not. Yeah. You could scream at Disney. I mean, you could even scream at them about this if you want to. Yeah. We don't care. But they didn't do this one.
Starting point is 00:38:05 They would have done this one, just to be clear. We don't know that for sure. I know it for certain. If they did have his likeness rights, they would do exactly this. Yeah. Except maybe it'd be animatronic or something. No, I think they'd have it to be a hologram. Yeah, they would do this, but in this particular instance, this is not their fault.
Starting point is 00:38:23 Now, this is from Chris De Moilin, who is the chief executive at Comi Cars Entertainment, who operates a Los Angeles Comic Con. What's it called? Comikars. Like Coma-C-C-A-C-C-A-C-C-A. Coma-C-C-C-C-A. Comic-C-A. Yeah, I guess so
Starting point is 00:38:39 That's good too You're pointing at me What happened to your finger I just scraped it Scrapped it on a what I don't know What are you alright No, I'm fine
Starting point is 00:38:48 Okay I was in the city Yeah Like a couple of weeks ago How was that Great Which rally were you at All of them
Starting point is 00:38:55 Yeah Yeah I'd play all the sides That way I'm always on top Smart But there was an ad In Flinders Street Which is like a main thoroughfare
Starting point is 00:39:03 In Melbourne Yeah And it was an ad for like A Thai green curry Of some sort I love a tie green And it's like an electronic billboard. It's like an electronic billboard. It's like 50 feet wide.
Starting point is 00:39:11 Loving all this. And like the first quarter of it's a picture of the curry, you don't pack. So you can get it in the supermarket, put it in the microwave or whatever. And then the rest of the billboard, like letters like 10 feet high, it said commit hurry curry. And I saw it once. And I'm always going through that intersection. Saw it once, never again. Got you, didn't that?
Starting point is 00:39:32 Because what they've done there, James, is they've conflated their product. A tie green curry. concept, James, of Japanese ritual suicide. They're not even the same. They're not even the same. They're not even the same. It's a differentiation thing. It's a different thing.
Starting point is 00:39:44 But I don't think you should do that. But I saw it once and never again. I hope somebody took a photo of it because I'm like, that's a lot to unpack it. It makes me think you didn't say this. And it's just something you wanted to see. Maybe. Anybody who took a photo of that, please set it in.
Starting point is 00:40:00 Because I just... Don't mock up something. We're not interested. Why would anyone do... I mean, obviously in the... in the advertising company that they were like, this is our absolute home run. This is incredible.
Starting point is 00:40:12 Look at the pun we've made here. Anyway, what are we talking about? Christa Moyland said. From... Combi Kasi Entertainment, who operates the Los Angeles Comic Con, said... From crashing a plane into a battleship to your death. That's right. Entertainment.
Starting point is 00:40:25 Yeah, he said it's obviously sad for many of us when Stanley passed. Many of us, not all of us? This guy is making mistake after mistake. First of all, he's named his company after... I don't know he named it. What if he was like, yeah, I just stole the name, actually. This avatar will never say something that Stan didn't say. It will never have a point of view about Marvel or the stories or Stan's role in them
Starting point is 00:40:47 that hasn't come directly from something Stan had said. So you ask a question to Stan Lee and he goes, I have no... Hey, Stan Lee, how do you like... What do you think about Robert Downey Jr. coming back as Iron Man? I have no strong feelings about Iron Man either way, true believer. Hey, man, what color's the Hulk's dick and how big is it? You have a lot of questions about superhero penises. We talked about this already.
Starting point is 00:41:10 Do you remember years ago, people reminded us because I'd forgotten that we said that Disney, Disney, are going to bring back Stanley's AI. Did we? Yeah. Because that's a conversation for Morats. Yes, of course. Different superhero penises and whatever. And they've done it.
Starting point is 00:41:26 Yeah. And just in time for this episode. Absolutely. We run out of content. That's right. So thanks, Comakaze. Yeah. Well, at least it's free.
Starting point is 00:41:35 I'm just kidding. It's apparently $20 for three minutes. Damn. But you get in the booth? You get in the booth with it. I think you stand in front of the booth. Yeah, I noticed that, yeah. Does it have?
Starting point is 00:41:44 I've seen one before. They're not 3D, really. Yeah. Can he have conversation with multiple people at once? Because there's multiple sides of the cube. I don't think so. Oh, maybe. Maybe you put your money in and he talks to you if anybody comes up from another side.
Starting point is 00:41:59 He's like, just hold on. Just give me a minute. Give me a minute. Sean Connery. Fuck, man. I mean, at least he's not really in there. Yeah, you're absolutely right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:11 I mean, do we know that for sure? I mean, no. Maybe they brought him back somehow with necromancy. Yeah, I guess that would be interesting in itself. Hey, Stan Lee, what do you think about the new Daredevil series? Well, true believer, I truly think it's an amazing. I love that Charlie. Please get me out.
Starting point is 00:42:30 True believer, call the police. The glass is too thick. I can't break through. I'm trapped. Well, at least he's got enough air for a little bit. Yeah. Yeah, so that's good. Fucking old, man.
Starting point is 00:42:46 What do we doing? I think if he breaks the... I think if he breaks too, he'll die again, though. Yeah, I guess he would. He'd cut himself on the glass. Oh, you think he'd say... No, I think the magic only sustains him while he's in the box. When Vision went out of Wondertown.
Starting point is 00:42:59 Yeah. And he disintegrated. I think that's probably the case. He would de res. Yeah. Like in Tron. I think he would de res. Tron's coming up.
Starting point is 00:43:06 Yeah, you're excited. It's kind of. I'm excited too. Kind of, I said. Yeah. So I don't have faith in that. But let's go. Mason,
Starting point is 00:43:15 Benson, Benz and Boo did a flip at the Grammys, you know about this? What are you doing here? So he came out and he had a suit on it. It looked like he was wearing a normal suit and like a tux. Okay. And then he started singing.
Starting point is 00:43:25 That sounds very regal. Yeah, it was normal. It was normal. And then someone, like, they ripped his suit off and he had like our Freddie Mercury kind of spandex thing. And as you were singing, he walked on the stage and he stepped on the piano and he did a flip. and then he kept singing after he did the flip.
Starting point is 00:43:37 Oh. Yeah. I think it would be interesting to chart the things that you, like you suddenly have a special interest in. I'm doing this for you. This is your special interest. It's not, though, is it? I'm helping.
Starting point is 00:43:50 What's Benson Boone's deal? He's singing songs. Okay, are they good? I mean, he can flip in them. Oh, that's good. I mean, there's a skill set to that, you know. Do you want to see it? You want to see it again?
Starting point is 00:44:01 I bet no, no. He's 22, I looked it up. Okay, that's great. Yeah. Okay. Anything else you need to know? Is he related to... Does he have one of those curly mullets in a little mustache?
Starting point is 00:44:14 Ask me that. Does he have... He does, yeah. Okay. Is he related to David Boone, who also has a mustache and a curly mullet? That is correct. Wow. Baby brothers.
Starting point is 00:44:23 Legendary Australian cricketer David Boone. 65 plus if he's a day. Yeah. Anyway, that's big news. But let's move on to more big news. Why do you think David Boone's last name doesn't have an E in it? Benson Boone's I'm pretty sure does have an E in it. This Benson Boone who you don't know about, but you know he has an E on the end of his name.
Starting point is 00:44:43 Yeah, well, I saw, yeah. You'd have to speak to the Boone brothers. I guess I would. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I really couldn't possibly say. Yeah. David Boone is 64.
Starting point is 00:44:55 64. I was one year off. You said he was 64 if it was a day. I said 65. Mason? Yep. Ah, Mason. President Trump announced last week.
Starting point is 00:45:04 that there would be 100% tariffs on films produced outside of the USA. Now, there was a lot of questions in regards to this. So allow me to break it down. We don't know whether this is films that were shot or made outside of the US or partially made outside of the US. A lot of films are financed in the US, but maybe filmed overseas or partially filmed overseas. Or if it's made in the US, but the company that made it is outside the US.
Starting point is 00:45:32 That's right. What if, say, the film's entirely made in the US, but the composer scores it in the UK? What does that mean? What if they make it in the US, but like, I don't know, post-processing is done overseas? So they've got to send the files over and then send it back. Does that count? Yes. So there's questions like that, Mason.
Starting point is 00:45:50 And look, I understand that, you know, there needs to be incentives for films to film in the US. Like, apparently it's incredibly costly to film in LA so much so that it barely happens. But what I think people need to realize, and a lot of people know this, this is a stupid person who didn't think about it at all. Didn't think about it at all. There's speculation, because he also announced the reopening of Alcatraz. But he saw escape from Alcatraz on TV. Yes.
Starting point is 00:46:19 I think that's probably true. I think what happened. Yeah, because Alcat, he's like, we've got to reopen Alcatraz. Yeah. We've got to put the most dangerous prisons. You've already got like a million. Supermax prisons. They're harder to get out of than Alcatraz.
Starting point is 00:46:37 Also, Alcatraz is a national park now. You can buy a key chain there. Good. But here's the thing. It's not outside the realm of possibility that this is happening because Trump was bragging to someone about all the movies he's been in. Because famously, if you film something in Trump Towers, he requires that he gets a cameo.
Starting point is 00:46:59 Yeah. And then somebody said, wait, I've seen those movies and you're not in them because also famously most directors film the cameo with him and then they cut it out. And then he was like, what? And he's like, well, I've got to get revenge on Hollywood because they cut me out of these movies.
Starting point is 00:47:15 So now I'm going to ruin another industry. Absolutely. And if this goes through, which there's a good chance that it won't. It will because who bears the brunt of the costs? Me. That's right. Me personally. Consumers, ticket prices increase.
Starting point is 00:47:29 There's various knock on. effects that we don't we don't know how this will shake out because it again it hasn't been thought about beyond at all at all yeah the white house did release an official statement that said and i don't know if this helps mason no final decisions on foreign film tariffs have been made terrific does that help no but also this i mean this has already happened with like imports from china yep you know people are buying you know small like a lot of people buy like small items for their business or you know items from it ruined the drop shipping industry it didn't ruin the drop in which is every conman on mine's course to
Starting point is 00:48:03 But also a lot of stuff Even if it's made in the US or what have you There's components that come from China etc What? Yeah and all of a sudden everything's You know and who's going to jail for this? Well you are you. What? Yeah you should stop this You could have voted but you didn't I did vote I voted for Biden
Starting point is 00:48:19 Okay right Three times Wow Just a ride in every time Yep you voted for him in the 90s as well Correct I like him I like that he's dead Is he dead? Is he dead?
Starting point is 00:48:31 Maybe. I mean, maybe. Anyway, here's a quote. This is our incisive political commentary. We're hoping to get in on the Wall Street Journal. I think we can do it. We're hoping for a bit of quid pro quo with the Wall Street Journal. It's working.
Starting point is 00:48:43 Here's a quote from Trump. As you know, I'm not going to do it. You did the hands, though. I'm doing the hands. We're putting tariffs on film, the movie makers. And we're going to be doing some tariffs to get them. Because a lot of... When you don't do it in his voice, it's so much...
Starting point is 00:49:00 the clearer that he's an idiot. Yeah. Because a lot of them have left this country. A lot of them have left this country. They live here. The money comes from here. Everything comes from here. It's easy to do it when you do.
Starting point is 00:49:14 The hands out. Yeah. But they make them in other countries. I've lost it. So we're going to do something to bring them back, maybe to a large extent. This is my favorite part. Yeah. But James Bond has nothing to worry about that I can tell you.
Starting point is 00:49:28 And you know, Sean Conner, was a friend of mine. Sean Connery was responsible for my getting zoning in Aberdeed. He said, let the bloody bloke build his golf courses. Let the bloody bloke. Let the bloody bloke build his golf courses.
Starting point is 00:49:43 That's what he said. John Connery. I was like four years into the process and it was impossible at Aberdeen. He was a great guy, Sean Connery. Do you think he watched The Rock? That was my initial thought before the escape from Alcatraz thing came out. Yeah, but then suddenly said.
Starting point is 00:49:59 Yeah. Escape from Alcatraz was on TV. Yeah. I don't know if Trump knows this, but Sean Connery is no longer making James Bond movies, and he died like 10 years ago. Also, League of Extraordinary gentlemen.
Starting point is 00:50:13 Alex G, some call it. Not a lot of people know that. Fabulous film. Many people are saying. Dorian Gray, beautiful man. Tom Saw, what about beautiful boys? What about beautiful boys in blue? Yeah, sure.
Starting point is 00:50:32 Also, like, Short Connery's family doesn't own a steak in the franchise. This just, he's just talking. Like, it's not anything. Did this James, you ready for this? I talk to the broccoli family, Barbara broccoli. Again, who don't own the rights to James Bond anymore. So even if he put this through. Oh, that, you know why?
Starting point is 00:50:52 Bezos is off the hook. I guess he is. He's supposed to Jeff Bezos and Amazon owns James Bond now. That's how this is turned out. It's possible, but also I think he's off. he just liked Sean Connery. Or Sean Connery was nice to him once. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:51:04 Yeah, so there we go. Or Sean Connery said something really mean to him, but his accent was so thick. Yeah. Didn't understand it. Fucking lunatic shit, man. It is wild, isn't it? What an era of nonsense. What an era.
Starting point is 00:51:17 Yeah. Well, this Dandor's good. Yeah, that's so true. The last piece of media we get. It's good. Anyways, you've been with Red Notice, the movie on Netflix. Obviously, I'm familiar with Red Nose James. Why do you say that?
Starting point is 00:51:32 It's a defining film of our generation and all future generations, and when we develop time travel technology, it will be a defining film of past generations also. Do you need to develop the time travel technology to have this be relevant to past and future technology people? Like, why is the time travel relevant to this? I've got to take it back to Austin Wells. Okay.
Starting point is 00:51:53 And he'd be like, wow. This is sick, actually. This is sick, actually. I love the bit when Gal Gadotten, the rock made out. Yeah. Ugh. Negative fucking charisma, mate. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:09 Hated that. We've got a commentary on it. At the start of Citizen Kane, Charles Foster Kate is going to die, but his last words are going to be aviation gin. Because he's learned from the best. Yeah. He might have. Anyway, why do you ask?
Starting point is 00:52:25 Well, that was the most watched Netflix movie of all time. I'm sorry. Where was it? it's streaming james? On Netflix. On Netflix? Netflix. Oh my God, this guy every week.
Starting point is 00:52:35 Still got it. Mate, you're literally dying. And you're... It drew in 230... And we're back. It drew in 230 million views in its first 13 weeks, which is very specific. Yeah. But, uh, K-pop Demon Hunters has, in the similar time frame as,
Starting point is 00:52:59 drawn in 236 million. Wow. I know that that red notice thing is bullshit. Yeah. Because nobody ever... I mean, I know that people are talking about K-pop demon hundreds. You see it everywhere.
Starting point is 00:53:11 The kids are fucking talking about it. I've never, ever, ever heard anybody mention the movie Red Notice outside of this. No, that's true. It's just us too, I think. Honestly. I think people have started it. Or it's auto played.
Starting point is 00:53:28 But, mate, I would... cut both my fucking ears off. I don't know why that specifically if that was true. People got even 20% through that movie. Yeah, it's crazy, isn't it? Because also, it's not good, is it?
Starting point is 00:53:41 No. It's atrocious. Fucking terrible movie. I wonder if they can determine the metrics of when people watch it, allegedly watch it. Because I got to wonder if maybe it's like
Starting point is 00:53:51 people watch something and they finish it at 1 a.m. And they fall in the sleep on the couch. Yeah, okay. And then Red Notice just runs. Yeah. That's the prime viewing demographic is one to three in the morning.
Starting point is 00:54:02 Yep. And you know why I know that it's all... But also it's just a lie. Yeah, it's course it is. And you know why we know it's a lie? Where's the sequel? Where's the spin-offs? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:11 Nobody's talking about it. This is sort of a... This is a soft measure so Netflix can stop talking about red notice. It finally found something that has actually organically... Yeah. Potentially... They problem is they pitch this to red notice too high. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:29 It's because it's a hard lie to actually be. Yeah. But, you know, I mean, you look at like Squid Game. I do. Organically grow. People do talk about it. People know what it is. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:40 It's people dress up like it. Nobody's dressing up as whoever the fuck those characters are called. Yeah, right? They've got good names. Let me look them off. Yeah. You're going to love them. It's probably tub thumping.
Starting point is 00:54:52 Tub thumping. And flex Lex Lexman or something. Oh, when you, when you Google Red Note Red Notice, 2 does come up. Yeah. John Hartley, Nolan Booth, Sarah the Bishop Black, brain names. Sarah Black.
Starting point is 00:55:09 Yeah. Good one, isn't it? It's a memorable. It's a good one. Yeah. Everybody saw it. But, I mean, also, in fairness, you don't see a lot of people dressing as the Rock for Halloween.
Starting point is 00:55:20 No one's got... Because he's too big. No. I mean, sometimes you see people dress as 90s of the Rock with the turtleneck and the chain and the jeans. It's the same reason you know, see a lot of people dress as Peacemaker. because he wears the short sleeves
Starting point is 00:55:30 and his arms are too big. Famously, Mason, as you know, I wore a Wolverine costume for last Halloween and you could remove the arms. I took the arms off and I'm like, I can't walk around like this. I'm not in terrible shape but I'm nowhere fucking near.
Starting point is 00:55:45 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Confident enough to pull this off. Sure. Not any confidence. I don't look like you Jackman at all. Wouldn't you say? Oh, hmm, okay, okay. I mean, you are a human being.
Starting point is 00:55:57 Yeah. So here you go. I rest my case. Great point. Yeah. Look at this. Look at this. Nothing poster.
Starting point is 00:56:04 A red nose. You know that didn't shoot that together. What, given that I've just shown you the poster, what's the tagline for it? Get red. Do you? Pros and cons. I'm going to cut my ears off. Which doesn't even mean anything.
Starting point is 00:56:17 No, it doesn't. I guess they're professionals. Yeah. And they're... Oh, professionals and con artists. Yeah, maybe that's why. Yeah, maybe. Great stuff.
Starting point is 00:56:26 Really good. Dude. Good movie. But I think if you... asked anybody in the world what the slogan was. They wouldn't, the tagline, no one would. You literally just show me. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:33 And I didn't say it. You held it up to my face. And I didn't see it. Yeah. Mason. Yes. This is a fascinating variety article where they're talking about how, what Disney are trying to do to lure in Gen Z. Oh, yes.
Starting point is 00:56:47 Because they're losing Gen Z. Apparently, they're fine with the millennial market. Okay. They will consume. This is us. Yes. Any old crap. Who is saying this?
Starting point is 00:56:56 This is them. They'll throw it into a trough. And we will go and we'll eat that slop. We'll slurping up like little pigies. And we'll bring our kids. Yes. And then, but there's a, there's a portion of people in the middle. I don't know who the fuck these people think they are.
Starting point is 00:57:09 But they're not buying this slop, basically. They're not slurping the slop. No. But that was Disney Plus's tagline. Yeah. When they started Disney Plus, they were like, hey, everyone, slurp the slop. Click. Slurp the slop or go to hell.
Starting point is 00:57:26 Leadership. Slurp the slop or die in a ditch. That's good, too. Yeah, but they're all good. They're testing them. They're AB testing. Yeah. Depending on which, you know, sometimes you get different thumb.
Starting point is 00:57:34 Yeah, you do. I can do that. Slop the slop or die in a ditch. They're looking to make movies that will bring young men back, back to the brand in a meaningful way. Specifically, Gen Z ages 13 to 28. I don't know anything about them. No. What are they doing?
Starting point is 00:57:49 Skibbitty toilets. Subway, that's those videos that are half subway surf and half family eclipse. That haircut. Yep. You know that haircut? The broccoli hair. Yeah, watching Benson Boone do a flip. You know about this?
Starting point is 00:58:01 Oh, I know about it. Oh, I know about it. I think about it while I'm doing my prayers every night before I go to bed. I think, I say, bless you, Benson, Boone. Yeah. Please, I hope you don't land on your neck. That's right. It's the worst place to land when you're doing a flip.
Starting point is 00:58:17 I don't know, man. I mean, they don't want to see Hayden Christensen return as Darth Vader. They don't give a fuck. I don't know who he is. Yeah, they don't. They don't, I doubt they're... We scream and cry. cry when we see you and McGregor. That's right. But they don't. No. That's right.
Starting point is 00:58:35 You were the chosen one, we say. Yeah, that's what we say. I mean, they don't, they don't want anything. I don't know, man. I don't think they want anything. I don't know a lot about, they want to be left alone. I don't know a lot about Gen Z. Yep. But I think Gen Z's ideal experience is being on public transport, playing something loud out of their phone while vaping. And I don't think you can replicate that in the cinema. No. I guess you, unless it's just an empty room and they're allowed to vape and be on their phones. And red notice plays. Maybe buy red notice off Netflix.
Starting point is 00:59:06 Yeah. Right. I don't think they want anything. No. Because the world's ending. Yeah. You know? That's right.
Starting point is 00:59:13 Exactly. That's the other thing. You know, what have they got to look forward to? They've lead-filled vapes in a dark room and sitting on public transport. Yeah. Going in circles. God. Oh, well.
Starting point is 00:59:24 Because this has segment, we're in hell so might as well. I don't know. Yeah, I guess it is, basically. gotten there, I guess, in a way. Look, the important thing is we're all right. Yeah, we're fine. Our mortgages will be paid off before we die. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:59:37 Yeah. So we'll be okay. We have a place to die in, is what I'm saying. We just lay down there, you know? Yep. And they'll find us. They'll find us eventually. And that's the most we can hope for.
Starting point is 00:59:52 Because we're the millennials. And we'll slurp up any slop, including what I just said. Also, not all the millennialsians have places to die. No, that's true. We are very lucky. Yeah. If you're a Gen Z, if you're a millennial, if you're not interested in talking to you, if you're a Gen Z, you're listening to this and there's something you want.
Starting point is 01:00:10 If you think Disney could provide something. That's interesting. This is very interesting. To bring you back to cinemas. Yeah. Not a joke thing. Not a joke thing. Not blue harvest.
Starting point is 01:00:21 Yeah. Not anything we say. Don't just say the thing Mason said about vaping in a room. Yeah. We know that. We know we're aware of that. What is a cinematic experience that could bring you in? Is it YouTube and streaming and et cetera?
Starting point is 01:00:35 Whatever. Yeah. Yeah. Is it vaping? Is it poggers? We don't know. We don't know. Is it the Nelk boys?
Starting point is 01:00:44 I don't know what that is. I don't know what that is. Please don't make me learn about a new bunch of boys. All right. I've had it. I've had it with new bunches of boys. There's been new bunches of boys for decades, mate. How many boys have we been interested?
Starting point is 01:00:56 Beach Boys. Yep. Backstreet boys. Yeah. Boys to men. Yeah. The boys, the TV show. Boys light up from the Australian crossover.
Starting point is 01:01:05 Yeah. Who were the boys? I don't know. Just your boys. You boys that you hang out with. The boys who are back in town. And if the boys want to fight or vape, you'd better let it. They're going to do it anyway.
Starting point is 01:01:14 They're going to do it. So many boys. I've lost my train of thought. It's gone. It's gone. It doesn't matter. All right. Mason, have you ever... Now, this has never happened to me before.
Starting point is 01:01:25 And I don't know whether it's happening. you have you ever discovered that you're in fact not on the cutting edge of pop culture and what's relevant have you ever had that happen to you this might surprise you i don't know maybe i'll ask my good friend benson boone he did a flip that's true he did he broke up with somebody or something this week yeah i knew that did you no he's going to do a sad flip sad yeah you can tell his heart's not into it like like it's got the precision of a benson boom sure yeah but it doesn't He doesn't have the heart. Like physically he can do it.
Starting point is 01:02:00 Yeah, for sure. But emotionally, he's barely there. Yeah. Yeah. He'd rather be doing flips for love. Agreed. So Deadlight are reporting that a last Witch Hunter sequel is in the works. This is a Vin Diesel-led action flick from 2015.
Starting point is 01:02:14 But it doesn't just star Vin Diesel, as I understand. It also starred one Michael Kane. That's right. And Adam Fogelson, chair of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, said the last Witch Hunter has grown since its theatrical release into a global fan favorite. Come on. To discover.
Starting point is 01:02:32 Come on, man. Look. Continue to discover. Okay. And rewatch it across every platform over the past decade. Yeah. Hell yeah. This is incredible.
Starting point is 01:02:41 Here's some reviews. Do you mind? No, not at all. This is from One Room with a View. He says, the best thing, oh, review terribly bombed. One Room of the View said, the best thing that one can say about the last witch hunter is that it's original. It's still crap, but at least you've never seen crap quite like.
Starting point is 01:02:58 like this before. By the way, it's about where Vindezer was a witch hunter from the past and he's got a beard and then it's a modern day and he just looks like Vindiesel. Interesting. And Michael Kane.
Starting point is 01:03:06 Yeah. I haven't seen it. I've never seen the last witch under. I think he would have. But I have seen the else that it bought. Because remember he said that about George 3 or whatever. Yeah. I remember that.
Starting point is 01:03:17 It was 4. Flickering Myth says, The last witch hunter might be the worst video game adaptation not actually based on a video game. Oh. Punch drunk critic says, you can accuse Diesel of playing an immortal version of Dominic Cooper, his character
Starting point is 01:03:30 from the Fast and Furious films. That's wrong. His name wasn't Dominic Cooper. His name was Dominic Torreto. Correct. And you would be... Because of his Torretto's. Yes, that's right. And you would be exactly right. His character was dry and the line delivery is flat. And this one is says, Vin's special.
Starting point is 01:03:45 I love Vin. We first met at a dinner party about 30 years ago. I just instinctively greeted him with a hug and announced to the whole room. This is my son. Is this Michael Kane? Michael Kane said this from his book. Don't look back. You'll trip over. Michael Cain memoir. Wow, nice.
Starting point is 01:03:59 That's also a review of the movie The Last Witch Hunter. I've never seen The Last Witch Hunter, but I have seen Triple X3, the return of Zander Cage, and I loved it. It's a good movie. Zander Cage is the coolest man I've ever seen in my life. The voice is working for you.
Starting point is 01:04:22 Thank you. Yeah, yeah. It's good stuff. Yeah. Is this real? What's real? The world we're in, I don't know. I mean, that and this.
Starting point is 01:04:29 Like, what are you? talking about? Crazy. It's a streaming hit? There's no, there is nothing. There is no movie that is a big enough streaming hit to justify spending whatever it would cost to bring it to do another, this sequel, unless it's animated or a motion comic or, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:04:51 Michael Cain's coming back, apparently. I mean, it's been a long, I don't know, like, nobody knows this, right? I know we did this last week. when we talked about Hansel and Gretel also witch hunters or whatever? No,
Starting point is 01:05:04 we talked about what the fuck was it? Red notice. Sure. That was like the biggest streaming thing. Everyone was like, it can't be
Starting point is 01:05:11 because nobody knows. I don't think anyone knows this. There's some data error here or something. Yeah, yeah. Somebody's... Does it automatically play after Fast and Furious and that's how we got here?
Starting point is 01:05:20 Absolutely it does, yeah. Yeah, I don't know, man. I mean, great, do it. I would love to go back to... I mean, I haven't seen the first one, but we'd do an episode on this, wouldn't we? 100%.
Starting point is 01:05:29 92-year-old Michael Kane coming back. This is my son, the last witch hunter. Oh, my goodness. This is great stuff. Don't forget your wooden steak, son. That's how you kill witches? Is that a witch thing? Berries.
Starting point is 01:05:42 Probably kill the berries. Wouldn't hurt and stabbing a woman with a steak. That would probably kill them. I'm going to kill most people, yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Terrific. Trails a hoi.
Starting point is 01:05:50 Honkitty honk. People say we never tried new stuff. We're always trying new stuff. Yeah, yeah. We're at the forefront of new technology, including that soundbite that we got installed in the studio. That's correct, yeah. And the last bit of news, I've just written AI.
Starting point is 01:06:06 Oh, yeah, here we go. And it's good. I didn't write that. You'd have to sell us all. Okay, this is from Variety. Variety, spice of life? Not as far as I'm concerned. All right.
Starting point is 01:06:17 And it says... You think variety isn't the spice of life? Do you think doing the same thing as the spice of life? No, I think paprika is the spice of life. Prapica's okay, but it's only you want to mix it with other things. Maybe an onion powder or a garlic or whatever. Or, um, base jumping. Yeah, that's not a bad idea.
Starting point is 01:06:34 I agree. I agree with you. Mm-hmm. From Variety.com. It's your idea. Which is the price of line. Go on. It's loading.
Starting point is 01:06:42 It was ready to go, but then wouldn't you know it, Twitter refreshed itself and now it's not ready to go. You get a lot of complaints and that's your problem. You always looking at the... I'm not complaining. I'm, this is like a, like an arch commentary on life in general, which is art. Okay. Okay. So, that's different.
Starting point is 01:06:58 Matthew McConaughey, Michael Kane, team with... 11 labs for AI generated versions of their voices. Hate this. McConaughey, he was investing in the company. Everybody can do a Matthew McConaughey voice. Why would you do this? But no one.
Starting point is 01:07:11 Yeah, but no one can do a Michael Kane voice, can they? You've literally, you do it every week. I do it every week. And it's good too. And it's good. No, you do it. I leave it in. All right.
Starting point is 01:07:21 You talked about the last witch hunter too? Because Michael Cain's going, what's this called, this thing? It's called 11 what? The company's called 11 labs, all one word. I wonder whether the ones who got Bruce Willis. Maybe.
Starting point is 01:07:33 Okay, so listen to their subheading. McConaughey, who is investing in the company using tech for Spanish language edition of his newsletter. Kane joins new iconic voice marketplace, is what they're calling it. I hate this. Virtual replications of their famous voices.
Starting point is 01:07:49 McConae also is investing in undisclosed some in New York-based 11 labs. He's collaborated with the company since it was founded in 2022. Now McConaughey is using 11 labs technology to bring a Spanish language audio version of his newsletter, Lyrics of Liven in his own voice. But it's in Spanish.
Starting point is 01:08:05 Wow. Right? Wait, so it's a newsletter. Yes. The AI reads out loud. In Spanish, in Matthew Connay's voice, but it's in Spanish, yes. But does it also read it in his regular voice? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:08:17 Maybe he doesn't want anybody to hear his regular voice. But here's the statement, and I like this statement because it's crap. Well, it is, but it's also, it's quite, it's James, we're talking, we talk about art. We're always talking about art. But in a way, this is art. because he's found a way to like pitch AI is like within his, you know, his vibe. It's all like, oh, right, I ride. It's all, you know, I love getting out in nature or whatever, you know, that kind of thing.
Starting point is 01:08:43 But I'm also, you know. I'm magic Mike. I'm the whole deal. I'm not going to do the voice. Oh. But I'll do it in Michael Kane's voice. Okay. That's beautiful.
Starting point is 01:08:53 No, I won't. I'll just a merry of a voice. I'm going to save my Michael Kane impression for a time when it'll surprise you. When he dies. When you die. Why won't even? hear it then. Here lies.
Starting point is 01:09:03 James missed a Sunday movie. He was a good friend to me, May so. I don't know if he was a good friend to Michael Cade. I don't know if they met. You know that we haven't met. I know.
Starting point is 01:09:17 I actually, I was trying to big up James a bit because he died and he didn't have that many famous friends, so I decided to just pretend like maybe he knew Michael Cate. But I have been informed by his family.
Starting point is 01:09:30 He didn't know Michael Cate. This is good stuff, man. Anyway, this is McConaughey, what he said in a statement, what his PR guy said. Since our first conversation, I've been impressed by how the 11 Labs team has taken the magic of the core technology and turned it into products that creators, enterprises,
Starting point is 01:09:50 and storytellers use daily. I launched my newsletter, Lyrics of Liven, apostrophe, as a way to share stories and ideas of my own voice with those who want to listen. Now, thanks to 11 Labs, Lyrics of Liven is expanding with a Spanish language edition, allowing us to reach and connect with even more people to everyone building with voice technology,
Starting point is 01:10:09 keep going. You're helping create a future where we can look up from our screens and connect through something as timeless as humanity itself, our voices. Wow. Not his voice. No, our voices, all of ours.
Starting point is 01:10:20 Couldn't you just get the guy who dubs your voice in other languages? No, you're thinking outside of the box. Yeah, that's true. I don't like that. And variety is the spice of life, but not with this case. Under Kane's deal with 11 Labs,
Starting point is 01:10:31 the 92-year-old British Thespian is joining the company's newly launched iconic voice marketplace, which will let companies and creative teams request approval to use Kane's voice for projects and content, including to narrate books and articles. Listen to a Kane's AI-generated voice in this sizzle reel released by 11 Labs. Here we go. Let me find it. Is there an ad?
Starting point is 01:10:51 There is an ad, hang on. Love that. I love how there's an ad. Can you hear this? My name is Michael Kane. Nice. He said it. He said it!
Starting point is 01:10:59 You know, I've played many roles in my life, both on and off the screen. But now, I've got a question for you. It's not a voice. No, he wasn't. It was like a real. Like a film reel. Is it the tone, the accent, the balance? Well, the answer is quite simply.
Starting point is 01:11:19 You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off. That's what he would say. That's what he would say. I mean, yeah, it sounds just like him. Yeah. Yeah, this obviously has gone a long way. Baby. And I guess he'll look after his family, I guess.
Starting point is 01:11:31 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What are whom I to say? Hate it, but whatever. Hate it, but whatever. You segment, hate it, but whatever. No, James, we're in hell, so we might as well. Oh, yeah. So that's fine and good.
Starting point is 01:11:41 Great. That's fine and good and great. I want to talk about this is better. All right. You can. You're free to do that. Do you want me to leave? You might have to.
Starting point is 01:11:50 Okay. So I want to talk about some other shows at how long they're taking. Okay. So apparently, both these are by variety. Severance season three, because that took three and a half years or whatever. Now, is that going to be, is that three and done? Do we know? No, no.
Starting point is 01:12:05 Okay, right. Probably, I don't know. I don't know either. But that, there was a writer's strike and a bunch of other stuff and probably COVID. I can't remember. But Severn's season three doesn't even have a production date. But they're saying that they don't want to have a three-year gap like the last. But if you don't have a production date, I think you're going to be pushing that three-year release.
Starting point is 01:12:25 Oh, yeah. It might be two at the middle of them. So, you know, we'll see how that goes. It took me a minute to like, what happened in this? Who's the what? Was he running? Was he running in the last one? Is he running up that hill?
Starting point is 01:12:40 What's Vecna? And the other is, HBO CEO Casey Blois confirmed that the last of us season three is definitely planned for 2027. And Craig Marsen is considering whether to make it into two seasons. Okay. Which means the entire thing would be, the entire Lysabas Part 2, which to be fair is much longer than Last of Us past 1 the game.
Starting point is 01:13:02 is going to, it could be three seasons. So are you up to date on the last of us, both seasons? I think I talked about it, but it ends in a really weird point because like I got to the end. And then I went and then I forgot and I went, oh, I should finish that. And I went back and I rewatched the ending and I went, okay. And then I went, oh, I forgot to watch the ending. And I did it again. I rewashed it twice.
Starting point is 01:13:22 Wow. And as I talked about, they're getting a little extra coin from you. They must be, but ask me what happened in the end. What happened to the end? I'm no fucking idea. I don't remember. Okay, right. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:31 So, too long. How far into the game are we at this point? 10, 12 hours maybe. And what percentage of the game is that? No, third, which I guess makes sense for three seasons. I don't remember. That game went forever. And there's a lot of handholding and walking around.
Starting point is 01:13:45 They've crunched these numbers around. Probably and like people talking you and they're like, I don't like this. The world's different now. Well, remember when we used to be other things. I don't remember that. I'm a kid. Well, I remember a different time than now. I tell how much?
Starting point is 01:13:57 You think the next season is just going to be NPCs? It's just going to be an NPC dialogue. Yeah. Boy, I'm glad they got their generator running. Yeah, I remember a different time. We didn't have generators. We had phones, we call each other, and we go, hello, come around for dinner. Now we're eating a big mess hall or whatever.
Starting point is 01:14:12 Okay, old time. We have horses. We don't have cars anymore. We're having a day. Hey, don't forget to put the water purification tablets in the before you drink. I don't want to do that. I don't believe in that. Okay, all right.
Starting point is 01:14:28 That's me talking, by the way. I know, I can tell. You dropped out of character. Yeah, okay. You took your character hat off, so that's how I know you're not in a character anymore. You notice? Yeah, you have... Would I take the hat on it off?
Starting point is 01:14:39 You put your character Kangol on. I thought I was doing that subtly. No, no, no, no, no. Interesting. Mason, this is real me talking. Now, you predominantly bought the character Kangol to do your Samuel Jackson character. Do you want me to do it? No, don't do it.
Starting point is 01:14:52 Are you sure? I'm really good at it. I would really rather you didn't. Bruce Willis, let's run around. It's Die Hard 3. That was actually pretty good. Yeah, that's right. That was pretty good.
Starting point is 01:15:00 And I didn't even have the hat on. I was really. I was going to say. It was in me the whole time. I just imagine what happened is there. I got the perfect flash of Die Hard 3, but you were in the movie instead of Samuel Jackson. It was so, it was that good. I didn't need it. I know. Mason, let's do a bunch of DC style.
Starting point is 01:15:21 You should take the sandwich board off, by the way. I don't think you need that either from Die Hard 3. You know the one. The one that says, I hate everyone. No, it's a sense of version. I wear the offensive version. Yeah, I know, yeah. The one says I ate everyone, yeah. Variety, they're saying they spoke to Andy and Barbara Michetti,
Starting point is 01:15:40 who are Andy Machete is supposed to be directing the Brave and the Bold movie, which is the first Batman DCU movie, Barbara Bruchetti. Barbara Mishetti, she produces on that as well and probably does a bunch of other things. Are they related? I think they're married. Interesting. Yeah, you said Andy Machete and Barbara Bruchetti for a second year, and I'm like, wow, what a team.
Starting point is 01:15:58 What a team. I don't think about that. If they were in fact just had similar funny names. That would be funny, but no, they don't. Andy Machete, Barbara, Bushetta. Think about that. I won't. I won't give that any thought.
Starting point is 01:16:13 And I don't have to edit this. I've got this Bushetta. How could I possibly cut it? Yeah? Why would you cut it? You eat it. They come out in very manageable portions. With a machete.
Starting point is 01:16:23 I'm just saying you wouldn't. I know what I'm saying. It is hypothetical. To make this work has to be kind of sort of a twist. No, it doesn't have to work. No, it does. None of this has to work. Interesting.
Starting point is 01:16:32 It doesn't have to be here at all. And yet it is. Isn't that magical? Like to see AI do that. Yeah. Like a tortured, some sort of... Tortured machete. Machete...
Starting point is 01:16:45 Bruchette... Biscetti situation. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, Peter Piscetti. Is he there also? It might have been. I wonder what he'd be like.
Starting point is 01:16:52 Oh, no, he's died. God. Anyway, so Andy Machete also directed the Flash. Which is one of the worst movies. Yeah, and, you know, depending... Is it his fault? I don't think so. Yeah, depending on who you ask, he either produced an incredible failure or he was the one
Starting point is 01:17:08 who sort of pushed it over the line, this thing that for some reason had to be made. Yeah. And he sort of fell on his sword. Yeah. And so a lot of people, I think, have said, well, the reason he's still on board for making anything else is because they sort of owe him one in a way. I mean, he did the it movies, which were very successful. He also is working on the current Welcome to Derry series, which is out by now, maybe.
Starting point is 01:17:28 He's there if you need, if you've got some, you know, know troublesome bruchetta. That's right. It'll help you right out. So anyway, James is already exhausted by that. I'm exhausted. They were asked about the Batman movie
Starting point is 01:17:38 because I assumed that they weren't going to give him this movie. Right. After the flash, which may or may not have been his fault, I'd say probably not. Barbara said the intention is yes, but we can't talk about it. And then Andy said,
Starting point is 01:17:46 we have to wait a few, a couple of months to start talking about it. I screwed it already. Excuse me. I'm assuming he means like... He started talking about it too early? Right. Okay, yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:56 I honestly thought he was never going to be given this movie to do after the Flash. But then again, James Garn said the Flash is one of the best movies of ever saying. He did say that. How is that? Has anybody subsequently asked him about that?
Starting point is 01:18:07 Someone should ask him. They should ask him. Justify your actions. Somebody should burn their press pass or their access privileges to Warner Brothers and D.C. and James Garner be like, hey, remember you said that movie was excellent, but it wasn't excellent?
Starting point is 01:18:18 What was going on there? Maybe we could do it. Do you think we could get access somehow? Like, work our way up the media chain by just being like, what do you love about movies and we love movies until we get to James Gunner? And then we ambush him.
Starting point is 01:18:30 And we drop the hammer on him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We dropped the hammer of Baravia on him. Very good. We whipped the helmet open. We're like, why did you say the movie's got me? We're both in the suit. We're both in the suit.
Starting point is 01:18:41 What did you say not? Yeah. You son of a bitch. A lot of people said that movie was good before it came out. Yeah, they did, didn't they? Did Tom Cruise say it was good? I think he might have said it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:51 Fucking atrocious movie. Anyway, we'll see what's happening there. I fine. Let him do it. I don't care. I mean, you can't. stop him. I wasn't going to. I wouldn't dream of it. Unless the, you know, the interview we do
Starting point is 01:19:04 goes so super hyperviral that they're forced to. They might be like, these boys are under something. We've got to make a change here. It's a shame they died in that suit when the league closed on their necks. That's right. Yeah. Your tombstone, got the thing on it. Mine's just blank.
Starting point is 01:19:20 Because I never said what I wanted on it. You never said what you wanted. And you know, according to the law, you've got to keep it blank. Your family's not allowed to put anything on it. They would have loved to. I'm okay with it. Yeah. Just, you know, nothing's on there. Just a full stop.
Starting point is 01:19:33 That'll do. All right. Yeah. Mason. I think your, I think your instructions for whatever those weird pancakes you like should be on there. I don't even eat those anymore. I mean other things. You want to know what I'm eating?
Starting point is 01:19:47 Yes. I'm going to regret this, but yes. That's not. Oh, okay. There's too much going on already. We've only done one bit of news. Speaking of, do you want him to direct this, Batman movie? He did the It movies?
Starting point is 01:19:58 Yep. I'm indifferent. Honestly, I'm indifferent. But it doesn't seem like you're like, wow, I would love to see. Absolutely not, no. Yeah. No. His particular vision for Batman come to.
Starting point is 01:20:11 I feel like you do a good comic book version. Yeah, I mean, I think the Brave and the Bold Batman we want is the more colorful, you know, sci-fi-ish Batman. I guess he would do a decent job. But also, also, I wonder how much when it comes to this. directing, producing, set up with James Gunn being quite heavily involved. How much of, is this like, you know, any number of Marvel movies, D.C. movies where there's a, there's a name on it on the director's masthead, but it's actually the producers who are making all the decisions. So really it doesn't matter that much. Wow.
Starting point is 01:20:47 I know. A gun for hire, as it were. A gun that's for hire. The gun is hired for hire. Yes. Is it making sense? No. Am I making any sense?
Starting point is 01:20:55 What can I do about this? Let's move to the next bit of news. Mason, Eric Vosson. That's on yet, Tombstone. Is this making any sense? No, I don't want that. Just a full stop. All right.
Starting point is 01:21:03 Eric Voss. By the end of this, we will come up with... I don't want it. A full stop. That's it. A big one. Huge. Like a basketball.
Starting point is 01:21:10 If it's two big people, graffiti the inside of it. I want them to. Okay. But don't. Okay. Anyways, this is why Nexus Point News. They say, Man of Tomorrow, the Superman sequel,
Starting point is 01:21:21 it's going to feature... Are the villains going to use makeup and prosthetics for the antagonist? Right. And they didn't act with a strong build and stature for this particular role. People are now saying Brainiac, as always. But we know it's not dark side. People are saying Mongol. Could be Mongol.
Starting point is 01:21:39 Or Monggal, who's also in the suicide squad. They did that already. Do you still on Brainiac or do you think it might be a Mongaal or girl? I mean, look, first of all, good for you, Nexus Point News, a website I've never heard of. That you've broken this news. that a villain in a DC movie Big. He needs to be big in stature
Starting point is 01:22:01 and needs makeup and prosthetics. Yeah. Incredible. Sometimes they're not big. Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor, Les Luthor, less Luser. Lex Luthor. Less Louser.
Starting point is 01:22:11 What do we doing? I don't know, man. But I'm willing to sit here in silence until you work it out. It's just a riff that I'm doing by myself. It was a good riff. Good solo riff. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:22:21 I am still going with Brainiak. Yeah, fair enough. Okay, yeah, I'm with you. But it wouldn't surprise me if also James Gunn't. Oh, you're Averallavine in this. Oh, wow. You're with me. Very good.
Starting point is 01:22:29 And complicated. I mean, James Gunn also could pull like a minor DC villain. Of course. Like sub-interdimensional something, something, space man. You know, he's known for it. Mr. Mixis Piddlic, but he's big. He's big. He's big.
Starting point is 01:22:42 Mr. Bigstick, Bidlick. I'm riffing. Nice. That was good. I'm riffed here. I would have gone with Mr. Mix sticks bigelick. We're riffed here.
Starting point is 01:22:50 We're riffed here. Get out of our way. In a way, in a way, it's the perfect name to put big at any point in it. Yeah, it is. Mr. Mix's Piddle big. We're riffing. We're riffing.
Starting point is 01:23:02 We're riffing. It's not about the destination. It's about the journey, except when the journey's bad. Yeah, that's right. And then it's not about either. It's about spinning your wheels. I don't know if you saw this also, but the Superman suit is out at the moment from where it's normally kept on display.
Starting point is 01:23:16 It's rumoured that it's being used for the Supergirl reshoots. They only got one? I don't know. I think it's a PR thing. Oh, I see. Like, I'm sure they have more than one. It's like when the smoke comes out of the Pope's residence or whatever, they've chosen a new Pope, Pope.
Starting point is 01:23:31 We're riffing. We're riffing. It's good to let people know when we're riffing. I was going to say a new Pope's catering company. Oh, okay. Yeah, that's good too. We're riffing. Yeah, they've chosen a new catering company.
Starting point is 01:23:42 Yeah. Yeah, so it's not actually they've only got the one. They take it away to symbolize. Yeah. They'd also have different ones with different levels of wear and whatever. They'd be like 20. Yeah. They need it.
Starting point is 01:23:54 the crisp one because maybe he's going to a wedding. You might be going to a wedding. An intergalactic wedding. He might be going to an intergalactic wedding. So he needs his most crisp costume. That's a clue, isn't it? Yes, it is. Yeah. Supergirl, of course, is out, I like to let people know,
Starting point is 01:24:08 June 26 of next year and Man of Tomorrow is. I think he's marrying his cousin? Is he marrying his cousin? Do you think that's a lad on Krypton? Yeah, I would say probably is allowed on Krypton. Huh. Yeah. They're weird with gene pools and stuff and blood purity.
Starting point is 01:24:20 And he's, you know, his dad's weird about stuff, isn't it? Yeah, he's got weird mom and dad this time. doesn't he, yeah. So yes, I think that would encourage that. Wow. Unless, of course, they lost the Supergirl suit, so they're just going to put her in the big baggy one. Yeah, maybe.
Starting point is 01:24:33 That'd be good, too. All right, Mason, there's a new DC U-T spin-off show spying off the Superman movie that just came out. Oh. It's called DC Crime. Oh. It's a Superman spin-off TV show that will focus on Skylar Gizondos character,
Starting point is 01:24:47 Jimothy Olson. Jim O'Son. Jim Eumthewson. James Olson. The minds behind this, Well, Dave Franco, I'm going to say Dave Franco, no. James Garn. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:24:57 Dave Franco's in now you threw me. That's why you think of him. He was flipping that card. Get him. He's throwing little fireballs and stuff. Get him. Yeah. Get him.
Starting point is 01:25:06 He was throwing little fireballs at Mark Ruffalo. And Mark Ruffalo is like, I'm an FBI agent. And I'm so mad that these kids are getting away with this. But secretly I'm a magician as well. Yeah. But I'm mad even when I'm by myself. Yeah, I'm upset about this when nobody's around. Hey, everybody, commons here.
Starting point is 01:25:22 Commons here? He's in the first one. Surprise common? appearance, which you love. I love that. He's in Terminator 4. He might not be. He might not be in Terminator 4. The future one? Yeah. I mean, they're all set in the future. So true, isn't it? Some have some parts in the future. And they were all, they were all filmed in the past. Makes you think, doesn't it? God, that's, that's pretty good, Mason, what you've done. That's pretty good. Yeah. It's approaching art, isn't it, the thing that I said? It's definitely bordering on.
Starting point is 01:25:47 Yeah. Teetering. Edging. Yes. Mason, do you think, who do you think, this is kind of our topic, but who Who would be the flash that James Gunn would use? I would say whoever was the flash when he was a kid. So what's that in the 80s? How old is he? He's older than us? He's 55 maybe. But I think he would have been reading in like the early to early 80s to mid-80s.
Starting point is 01:26:07 Oh, then Barry Allen. Yeah, you're going to see. But Barry Allen's been done. And I also wonder if he might, he's just going to, I think he might do Wally West. Because the idea like behind this universe, it has been around for a while. And in the comic book universe, original, well, the second one, Barry Allen, he dies. And then Wally West was his kid flash. And then he kind of, he takes the main role and he's like,
Starting point is 01:26:28 I don't know if we're going to be really fast. Turns out he's faster. Whoa. Yeah. He must have just practiced hard enough. No, he discovered a secret thing. He must have discovered a secret thing. Yeah, he discovered a secret thing.
Starting point is 01:26:37 Great. And that's art. Discovering a secret thing. That's right. A secret chord that pleases the Lord. That's right. Next is called the Speed Force. What?
Starting point is 01:26:46 Yeah. How do you get in there? There's a secret equation. It's an equation. You lost me at equation. I don't do that. You got taught. the equation by
Starting point is 01:26:54 Max Mercury. Max Mercury. Fake name. Fake ass name. Yeah. That's right. Mason. Or Johnny Quick.
Starting point is 01:27:02 John, he learned it from one of those guys. Made up characters, not real. I would love it if this is the switches flipped in your hand. And every tell they were like, oh yeah,
Starting point is 01:27:15 the running man's about this guy, Ben, fake, not even a real guy. Based on a book, book was made up. Stephen King, his mom made up.
Starting point is 01:27:24 up that name, not even a real, not even, not even, what's I even born with that name? His mum made it up. Just go all the way back to the birth of humanity. Fish came out of water, had legs. Fake. Boucher. Bode up.
Starting point is 01:27:37 Didn't have legs before. Oh yeah. Oh, yeah. Uh, Wendell Pierce, Beck Bennett, Michaela Hoover and Christopher McDonnell will reply, reprise their roles as Perry White, Steve Lombard, Cat Grant and Ron Trope. Who's that? Ron Trope.
Starting point is 01:27:54 Is that the other guy he was in the jet? I don't know. I've forgotten. We covered it when we... Remember there was another... Yeah, it was another guy. Yeah, it was the other guy. The other guy.
Starting point is 01:28:03 Okay, well, maybe that was why he was in the movie and got one line or something. Yeah. Or maybe even, didn't he even get one line? I don't know if he did. Yeah. But he's the guy... Because we recently did the Superman.
Starting point is 01:28:14 We did the Superman. You can look it up for free. Yeah. But you can't listen to it for free. Can't listen to it. You can look it up, though. You can find it on Google. It'll be there.
Starting point is 01:28:22 Nice one, Mason. You're very welcome. The mine was early. Yours was late. Nice. That's kind of like how we operate as well, isn't it? So true. You know, I'm here waiting for you.
Starting point is 01:28:29 You're late. Yep. Agreed. Agreed. And that's art. That's art. That's art because it makes you think. It's teetering on art.
Starting point is 01:28:36 And here's the thing. You don't know what's have to like art. No. And you don't like it. So yeah, fine. I'm sitting here furious at art. That's right. That's how you know it worked.
Starting point is 01:28:47 You got me. Yeah, that's true. Cool. Yep. Oh, yeah. Great. I'm all about this. I love that this.
Starting point is 01:28:53 This universe can go in different directions. You can do a peacemaker where everybody's looking at dongs and then you can do Gorilla Gras or whatever. That's right, yes. You know? That's what I love. Mason, this is by a variety. Spice of Life.
Starting point is 01:29:06 Aviva Mandetta TV series is in the works. It's wild. Neither of us have ever said that. Or we've said it every week that it's come up for 10 years. The Superman keeps reverses. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A Viva Mandat TV series is in development at HBO. Great.
Starting point is 01:29:21 So, famously, a movie movie. in 2005. Just got an anniversary release, 20th anniversary release. Oh. And it's just got an exclusive interview with Alan Moore in the back. He's like, I hate this.
Starting point is 01:29:31 Get away from me. Get away from me. I do books now. Leave me alone. I do long books. You read one of his long books, didn't you? I did just about Long London. Oh yeah?
Starting point is 01:29:39 How long is London? So long. What do you mean? They like stretch it out? Well, no, it's more like. Like a Taffy? Yes. Taffy London.
Starting point is 01:29:45 Go on? Yeah. That's a good detective now. It's like a... I'm Taffy London. What do you think? I'm from the streets. I'm from the streets.
Starting point is 01:29:53 I've worked my way up in this whatever agency and now. That's right. But I've got alcohol problem. I'm Taffy London. I roll around on the streets. I pick up. I've got a deal wife and my wife left me on. I'm Taffy London.
Starting point is 01:30:04 Sorry, yeah, roll around. He's sticky. He's sticky. He rolls around in the street. He picks up information. What are we talking about? Taffy London. We're talking about Taffy London.
Starting point is 01:30:13 Beef of Endetta, Long London. Yeah, it's about, it's set in the 50s and it's set in like, you know, a guy discovers a book that is from a, like, a paralogical. universe. But there's like another universe. It's like a pocket universe within London. It's like Neil Gaiman's never wear, except Alan Moore has never been accused of anus sex crimes.
Starting point is 01:30:32 That's good. That's good. Yeah. And we like him for that. So far. Yeah, so far. Ooh, this is, this is the story. Detective Taffy London.
Starting point is 01:30:42 There it is. How do they beat me to this? When Daddy was a baby, his mum was killed in a car crash. That's a synopsis. That's good. That's British TV for you, isn't it? There's a bit more. Sorry, my mum just message me.
Starting point is 01:30:57 Okay. She's just... Outside your house with a gun. No, she's just telling me about the latest episode of Taffy London, which is apparently the show that already exists. It's beyond Britbox, wouldn't it? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:07 You know, there are some L.M. more adaptations that I like. Yes. Including the Watchman TV series. I think most of that is pretty good. Yeah. Except for the opening sequence where the guy's like, oh, no, the government's too woke. I'm a cop and I can't use a gun.
Starting point is 01:31:18 I'm not allowed. Remember that bit? That's right. Everything's gone too woke They won't let me use this gun Yeah but the thing is sometimes truth Is hard to look at That's true isn't it
Starting point is 01:31:28 It was like looking in a mirror for me Because our government's too Woken They won't let me use a gun Unless we have to type in our pronouns Into a pride flag Do you remember? Yeah I remember
Starting point is 01:31:43 Because it just happened It just happened We have to do it We have to do it to unlock the podcast studio Fuck All right. So, Bifendetta, we've forward to that in three years. No casting information, anything like that?
Starting point is 01:31:56 No, very early. Sorry, variety reported. It hasn't even been officially announced, so. Do you think, I mean, obviously, like, it's got enough, it's got, it's got enough story for a season. Yeah, do one. Yeah. Do one. Or are we going to do a watchman style where there's...
Starting point is 01:32:11 Oh, it's like a future version. Do we get to, do we get to the point where EVEy becomes the new V4 Vendetta? Oh. V for Vendetta et. V for Vendetta et. B continues to Vee. V for Vendetta et. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:21 And then she takes over and then there's new story. Would they dare? Because again, I mean, they did it with watchmen. That's the thing, because the dam has broken for years,
Starting point is 01:32:29 for decades. Yeah. No one would dare. No one was like, I think I can carry on the story that Alamo created, you know, but now people like,
Starting point is 01:32:37 yeah, we did it. We'll do it. We'll do it. We'll make it worse. That's what. Yeah. It's still art. It's still art if it's bad.
Starting point is 01:32:44 That's right. It's still art if it's bad and it's for money. And we don't care. I'm probably doing it because we'd have to pay for it again. We don't have to pay one of the guys. Look, I reckon they're probably going to adapt the original comic book. And then if it's really successful, they might do something else with it.
Starting point is 01:33:04 Yeah, yeah. Yeah, all right. Let's do this. And then they can, you know, Alfred Pennyworth can pop in. Alfred Pennyworth. Speaking of, let's do some trailer stuff. Honk. All right.
Starting point is 01:33:14 Here we fucking go. All right. This stupid ship is back with the trailers that I hate. Remember we established that I hate this shit. Oh yeah, yeah. Here's your trailers stick them up your ass. Yeah, man, we fucking hate you here, both of us. Don't we, Mason?
Starting point is 01:33:26 No, I'm indifferent. Yeah, we both talk about you like this when you're not here. That's not true. It's not true. And you do it for free. You're a bitch. You'll be back next week. All right, bye.
Starting point is 01:33:38 Okay, bye, Joe's. Shut up. I'm taking the high road now. Well, I'm petty. Yeah. Mason, so many things happening this week. Mm-hmm. I should point out if anybody's thinking maybe there's a little bit of a tense air to this episode.
Starting point is 01:33:53 It's because James is wielding a knife. It's been wielding a knife since the start of the podcast. It's for camping. It's for my daughter. It's a blunt, like, practice knife. Have a look. It's not a real knife. Yeah! Dude, that cut clean through the table.
Starting point is 01:34:06 I know. Didn't even make a noise. It shouldn't be able to do that. It's crazy. It's because my skills with a blade. While you were learning podcasting, I was learning the blade. So when I was learning podcasting and you were coming into do podcasting. So before the show, when I set up and do the show notes,
Starting point is 01:34:22 safety's on, right? You're learning the blade. Yeah, that's right. You haven't you heard me going here? Well, I mastered the roadcaster. Yeah, that's right. You learned the blade, did you? Yes.
Starting point is 01:34:33 Yeah. Trailers a hooy. Honkety honk. Invincible season four on New York Comic Con or whatever happened. Oh, yes. Something. So did Pax Australia. That's what I say to everybody I know who went to that, which is a bunch of people.
Starting point is 01:34:46 You're saying that because you're just exhausted under the weight of all the funco pops you purchased at Pax Australia. Yes, that is why I'm saying that. I don't know why I'm still carrying them. Because you love them. I do. Invincible Season 4. They do their classic sit down and a diner have a chat. This time it's Eve with Mr Invincible.
Starting point is 01:35:09 And of course, the whole city's been destroyed because of what happened. There's a big invincible fire. All the stuff that happened. I love these little trailers. Do you love that they're using, they use that really expensive animator for these and then when they go back to the TV show, it's kind of, they outsource it to something. Or they outsource this and then they in-house the rest of the show, which doesn't look as good. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:35:34 No, I don't love that. I don't like it either. Yeah. You've got so much money, Amazon. What are you doing? I guess animation takes time. I don't have time. I want it now.
Starting point is 01:35:42 Yeah, I want it now too. Yeah. Just like this Amazon purchase that I made, this knife and this protein bars. Do you crack up in the protein bars? Do you want one? I wouldn't like one. You probably wouldn't. It looks good.
Starting point is 01:35:53 Yeah, you think it's good. It's a white chalk raspberry, but I'd be like, this tastes like chalk. I couldn't tell you whether that's true or not. I like them. How about I give you one for the road? You can eat it in the car. It's so exciting. I can have it for breakfast before I go to work tomorrow.
Starting point is 01:36:05 You can definitely have for breakfast, have a big vom before you go to work. A big form. Yeah. A couple of things from this trailer also is that Lee Pace is general thrag. who's the main vultramite emperor villain guy. What's his deal? Is he big? He's big, yeah, he's the strongest and the biggest.
Starting point is 01:36:20 Strongest and the biggest? Yeah. Sounds like the stakes are higher than ever. Mason, let me tell you, the stakes are higher than ever. Because Lee Pace has put him on a big tall shelf. He's put it, yeah, Lee Pace would also make a good live action version of this guy. He's big. He's big as well.
Starting point is 01:36:32 He was in the, I was going to say the Pokemon movie. I don't think that's true, but he was on the Hobbit movie. He was on the Hobbit movie. He was Mr. What's his name? Yeah. He was a Ronan the Accuser. Correct. He was also
Starting point is 01:36:44 In the Ronan, Boisone, yes. He was. In the Ronan Boy Zone He said it best when he said nothing at all. Apparently Robert Kirkman, who of course did the comic, wrote the comic, he had Lee Pace in mind before the show even existed. So yeah, there you go. Well, I'd like to see proof of that.
Starting point is 01:37:00 Maybe like you wrote it down a piece of paper, you mailed it to yourself. It's got a stamp on it. Maybe you're holding a newspaper with that date. It's a picture. That's not got, yeah. You don't like that? Well, you could just, I mean, Robert Kirkman's rich now. You could probably just purchase a newspaper from that day.
Starting point is 01:37:12 Yeah. You know. We can't trust anybody, can't trust anybody. Everyone's against us. But just to be clear, you really want proof of this. Yes, I do. Yes. That's right.
Starting point is 01:37:25 Otherwise, any time we talk about Invincible in the future or any of other Robert Kirkman's future projects, we're going to have to start with Robert Kirkman, potential huge liar. Yeah. You know, and that's going to crush his returns, you know. I think we should just do that. I think so, too. Because everyone's got the potential to be a huge liar. That's true. isn't it? And we may as well just say he's the one.
Starting point is 01:37:45 So you're okay with that? The biggest liar. The biggest liar, potentially. Yeah, potentially in the world. Release date for this is March 2026. Due to cutting edge animation techniques and not cutting corners, they're pumping these out one a year. That's right.
Starting point is 01:37:59 Which look, selfishly, yeah, that's good for me. Yeah, absolutely. I don't need to be waiting around for this. I mean, they are better animated than the comic books, which are not animated at all. Yeah, you're right, actually. Yeah, that's right. I knew there was something missing from those. That's right.
Starting point is 01:38:11 And there's barely any sounds. It's only the sound of turning a page, which I'm doing. Yeah, that's right. I'm making that noise. Yeah, they should be paying you. And also the sound of me. You get a kickback. I should.
Starting point is 01:38:21 It's also the sound of me reading out loud, which is how I read. That's right. And dead drag said, I'm going to get you, Mr. Invincible. I'm the biggest guy. My mustache is on my face. Well, I'm little, but I'm crafty. That's invincible. It is.
Starting point is 01:38:35 So that's good. And I can do big punches. Woo! Okay. So. When you look at the output of Amazon on generally. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:38:43 Like on the one end, you get like maybe the boys. Yes. Which is certainly heavy handed, but it's certainly fun and entertaining. We like that and it's got a lot of character to it. But on the other hand, you get stuff like the terminal list, which is, what is it? What is it? What is that? You're on the terminal list.
Starting point is 01:38:57 That's interesting. That is interesting that I'm on the terminal list. Do I get a gun? You do, and a baseball cap. Great. And a vest. Yep. It's your job to get other people on the terminal list.
Starting point is 01:39:09 Which for them is bad. You're going to do a little. a lot of clearing of rooms. Yep. And you've got a friend in your earpiece and he's going to be looking at a lot of screens. So that terminal list is you've got to get a fill by the end of the day.
Starting point is 01:39:21 Yeah, yeah. Otherwise, we're all in trouble and we'll be on the terminal list. Which is good. There's a guy in a room and he's like, the terminal list, it keeps emptying out. Chris Pratt, you've got to put more people on the terminal list for good or bad. I hope he does.
Starting point is 01:39:36 Yeah, me too. Yeah. I just think, yeah. What do you think that show is about? What we said? I guess it is, yeah. But yeah, you're right. And if it's not, that pitch is free.
Starting point is 01:39:44 Yeah. Amazon, you can have that. If the Terminalist isn't doing that well, and you can retool it, that one's free. It's a guy who has to put people on the terminal list because he's on the terminal list. Yeah, that's right. Because he wants some friends. And that's how you get off or back or stay on the terminal list.
Starting point is 01:39:57 Yeah. Deadline. Deadline. 28 years later, three news. Oh, hello? No, they hang up. Sorry about it. Do you not have to, well, I'll speak to my health insurance company the other day.
Starting point is 01:40:11 Oh, yes. They had to sort a thing out. And they're like, we'll call you back between now and a week. Okay. And I'm like, cool. They've been calling me at like past five o'clock. Like, that's normal. Huh.
Starting point is 01:40:23 They know I have fucking kids. It's on the thing, man. That's crazy. I would rather talk to a robot. Don't you think? Yes. Anyway, that's a small little rant. You can clip that out and put it in the best job.
Starting point is 01:40:34 Classic James Rant. Who calls it after five? I don't know, man. It's fucking crazy. Also, I have to be answering all calls now, because I don't know when they're calling. Yeah. So I'm picking up and they're like, hi, we're a scam.
Starting point is 01:40:45 And I'm like, God damn it. Yeah. And now they're going to keep calling me because I picked up that one time. Yeah. Yeah. And they're like, here, we're calling about your penis enlargement surgery. And you're like, is this a scam or is this the real health insurance? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:40:58 Which one are you? Hang on my dad's calling. Oh, come on, man. Give me a sec. Anyways, we sorted that, didn't we, we sorted my dad out. We sorted your dad out. Big time. Carpark style.
Starting point is 01:41:08 Yeah, man. Yeah. Deadliner reporting that. 28 days slash weeks slash years five, fifth movie in the franchise. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's happening.
Starting point is 01:41:18 Nice. The buzz is... Because we were concerned. We didn't know. We were like, what if they don't finish this? Finish him. What if Killian Murphy shows up at the end?
Starting point is 01:41:25 Finish him. No. Mortal combat. Oh, now you're talking my language. Bebality. Nice. Killian Murphy looking good. He's a babe.
Starting point is 01:41:35 He's a babe. He's a babe. He's serving. Is he? Yes, I think so. I didn't know that. What were talking about? Oh, yeah, the concern was.
Starting point is 01:41:41 You were derailing with some nonsense about bad melodies. The concern was that Killian Murphy shows up at the end of 28 years later the Bone Temple and he's like, now, mind if I cut in or whatever? I'm ripped now. Exactly. And then it's like to be continued, question mark. The end, question mark. Is it continued? And then we don't get the final one because nobody saw the last ones.
Starting point is 01:42:00 Yeah, exactly. But you're saying. The buzz is. The 28 days later star, Killian Murphy, who reprises role in the Bone Temple, is in talks and franchise scribe, Alex Garland is currently writing. Part three. Garlo. Garlow. Previously, Daniel Boyle has said, I want to direct this one.
Starting point is 01:42:17 Because Nita Costa is directing. I want to direct this way. Let me do it. My idea. That's really, Sunshine. Thank you. Sometimes. It's a good movie.
Starting point is 01:42:27 Go ahead. The sun went out. The sun went out. The sun didn't go all the way out. The sun didn't go all the way out. It didn't. Stupid concept for stupid movies. It's a good movie in the wrong.
Starting point is 01:42:39 It's the best movie ever made. Yeah, all right. Okay. 28 days. What if everybody was read Superman all the time and they're running around? They're running around.
Starting point is 01:42:52 They're running around. Yeah. Great. You like it? I do. It's just the way he puts it, you know? Yeah, it's pretty obnoxious, actually. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:43:05 Bratty Boyle, that's what they call it. Neander is, of course, directing 28 years the bone temperature. No, she's already directed. She's not still directed. No, you're right. That's out January 16th of 2026. Early reactions have just come out and they've been really strong. Also, like, apparently if you didn't like the previous 28 years later, you're not going to like this one.
Starting point is 01:43:23 Oh, is it even more contemplative? I hope so. Yeah, I thought it was good. I would love this to happen. I think this is more action-packed. I would love this to happen and please. Yes. So we'll see.
Starting point is 01:43:34 Anyway, this is all good news. That means the third one must be doing well on streaming as well, I guess. Yeah. And it did make a small profit. as we all know, because we're always talking about profits and losses, and AI and whatever. We're loving it. This is from Knight's Edge.
Starting point is 01:43:48 Would you feel like, were you spotting all the trains all the time? Yeah. You know? Trainspotting? Yeah. Two? Yeah. T2?
Starting point is 01:43:55 Yeah. Yeah. Just in Petty. You're like, you're saying train sporting two? Yeah. Yeah. You being sarcastic? No.
Starting point is 01:44:04 No. Well, if there was a guy, then you would be able to answer. Who would you be meaning? What if you knew? Let me direct the Olympics. What if he knew? What if he knew cause of his life? He learned some lessons in life.
Starting point is 01:44:17 And then he knew all the answers to who went to be mooned. And also the questions that he gets asked with the order of his life. Is there a word in the order? Pretty lucky, isn't it? Very convenient. I'm getting it boiled. It's pretty convenient, Daddy. What you've said?
Starting point is 01:44:34 Yeah, I know. That's why I said it. You said it because it's convenient. Yeah. Okay, cool. Anyway, Star Wars News. Okay. If we must.
Starting point is 01:44:45 The Mandalorian and Grogu's production budget has been revealed. It's too much. It's $166 million. Okay. Apparently they're getting something like a $21 or $23 million tax return from the California Film Commission. Okay, sure. Coming out of taxpayers' pockets, Mason.
Starting point is 01:45:00 Oh, they'll do anything. So they can make a robot talk to a puppet or whatever this is. Exactly, yeah. Can you believe it? I mean, in California, I can believe it. Comiponia. Yeah, that's right. Now, you might be like, that's a lot of money.
Starting point is 01:45:13 I did say that. But you're wrong. What? Excuse me? Because if you look at the budgets of the Disney-related Star Wars movies, this is by far the lowest. The Force Awakens apparently cost $447 million in total. Last year, I was 300. Tross was 416.
Starting point is 01:45:27 That's the rise of Skywalk. I know what it is. Rogue one was supposed to be the cheap one, but they had to refilm it. That was right. So that one's 271. So this is well under. This is in the low end, isn't it? I mean, I guess it's because they don't really need any of the main actors because they can voice
Starting point is 01:45:41 them because they're under helmets and it's a puppet. There's not a lot of A-list Hollywood stars. You have to pay all the time. And they do it on the volume. That's true. And it's set in a locked room. So the volume is just four bare walls. And it's like, how do we get out of this, Grogu?
Starting point is 01:45:57 I don't know, man. I don't talk. But you're talking now just to tell me you don't talk? That's right. Huh. Very normal voice. I just, I don't mind it. I expect it's something weirder.
Starting point is 01:46:07 Yeah, well, if you have expectations, you'd never. You never learn. Actually, it's very wise. It's very wise what you've said there, Grogu. It's weird as well because Yoda talks that he has a specific pattern of speaking that you don't... Yeah, he has an acquired brain injury. Because of the swamp gas? I'm not actually sure.
Starting point is 01:46:27 No, he had it before that because if you've seen the Phantom Menace, which I presume you have, that's what we call that era of Star Wars. I have seen the documentaries about that era that we've lived through, yes. So... Okay. Yeah, he had it then. He must have had it then. Yeah, I think he was something, yeah, maybe, I don't know, maybe he's cleaning his ear with a lightsaber and he went too deep.
Starting point is 01:46:47 You don't want to do that. You can do it. You can do it. Yeah, but they say don't put anything in your ear that's smaller than your elbow or a lightsaber. Yeah, okay. That is what they say. Lightsaber's a right out. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:47:00 Anyway, this room's not that interesting, is it? No. Do you think I could get out by firing one of my numerous guns? I mean, yeah, you could try. Or do you think, Grogo, you could use the force to open that door. How much of that are? Well, I think mostly you only do it like towards the end. Towards the end of the runtime of the room, yes.
Starting point is 01:47:19 Is this an escape room? Is that what it is? It might be. Yeah? Yeah. And it's Star Wars themed, which is where we live. That's right. That's what we call the universe. Our Star Wars, we live in there, yes.
Starting point is 01:47:28 That's right. Great. I'm looking forward to it. Me too. Sounds really good. Sounds really good. Are you actually looking forward to it? I'm largely indifferent. Yeah, me too. Yeah. But, you know, if it's only $160 million, it's probably 90 minutes.
Starting point is 01:47:40 Yeah. see a movie. Yeah. Let's see a movie for once in our goddamn lives. Let's do it. Star Wars News, Mason. Not just any Star Wars news, though, a bunch of Star Wars news. That's all. It's Star Wars Celebration Japan time, and you're going to like it. It's time for a bunch of flights of fantasy of imaginary series and things that'll never come out. Some of this is coming out. Just them, just them spinning a wheel and it's like, it's just a wheel with all this. It's got, it's got like animated series, comic book, movie, video game. whatever on one wheel and then it's got every character in the Star Wars universe and the second wheel and you spin them together and you go oh Darth Mall animated series yeah but yeah we're definitely going to do that and there's another wheel that most of the
Starting point is 01:48:21 well there's one option that says yeah and the rest of them just say bin nice so it should be good yeah you know what this this one might be the one because they've attached which one this one this one the Sean Levy oh that Ryan Goslin one okay this is the this is the big this is the big I mean apparently it is going to film it's called Star Wars Star-Far This is not to be confused with Patty Jenkins's Star Wars Top Gun movie, which isn't coming out. That's right. There you go.
Starting point is 01:48:48 Anyway, this is from, as you mentioned, director Sean Levy, who did Deadpool versus Wolverine. He did Free Guy. That's a freaking lightsaber man, so you know he's ready for this. That's right. He did my dad's in Star Wars and also, that's me. I'm Star Wars. And the Google Boys.
Starting point is 01:49:00 And the Google Boys, yeah. And some TV, probably. Yeah, something. Probably. Okay. But of course, he did a billion dollar movie in Deadpool versus Wolverine. That's right. And, you know, he loves IP, it seems.
Starting point is 01:49:11 But you remember my dad's in Star Wars and this is Star Wars and that's a freaking lightsaber man. Ryan Reynolds and he went from the future, but he was himself. Yeah, yeah. He was himself. But sometimes people are tired of Ryan Reynolds. So you get a guy who's kind of like Ryan Reynolds in the form of Ryan Gosling. Ryan Gosling, that's right. He's going to star in this.
Starting point is 01:49:26 And this is set five years after the Return of the Jedi. Sorry. This is set you five years after the rise of Skywalker. What? Yeah. What? That's right. We're moving forward in the timeline.
Starting point is 01:49:36 I don't like that. But it's before the Ray trilogy, which is definitely coming out also. That's cancelled. No, it's real and it's not cancelled. You know, he's cancelled you. Good, finally. Cancel from Star Wars? No, it says the one thing you have to commit to is Star Wars.
Starting point is 01:49:48 I want to opt out of Star Wars. They can't opt out of Star Wars. Have you tried to cancel Disney Plus? No. Yeah, exactly, because you can't. Don't bother. They said, he said, this is a standalone. It's not a prequel.
Starting point is 01:49:59 Oh. It's not a sequel. Okay. It's kind of a sequel. Is it a squeakable? Yes. It's Ryan Gosley and three plucky little alien, furry little creatures and they're all in his cockpit.
Starting point is 01:50:10 And he's like, get out of here. Get off me. And they're like, we can't. We're in space, Dave. His name's Dave, Starfighter. Because it's like Luke Skywalker. You do your regular name and then it's space name. Yeah, and then it's space name.
Starting point is 01:50:22 Yeah, great. We can't get, we can't get out of here. We'll die. But you'll also die because you're regular. I don't care. Unless you could, could you breathe in space? Because they did it one time. Dave Starfighter.
Starting point is 01:50:33 Remember they did it on that asteroid or whatever? No, yeah, and Prithers Lay did it. She flew through space. She had the force. Well, speaking of, maybe he's got the force. Oh. It's a new adventure. it's set in a period of time that we haven't seen yet explored,
Starting point is 01:50:42 five years after a previous thing. Nice. God, I can't wait to see the second first order. I'm excited. Yeah. So this is Daniel Richmond. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:50:51 it's a big scuba. Yeah, that's right. He said, The pair embark on some kind of mission while being pursued by two villains, one male, one female.
Starting point is 01:50:57 So the Padawan's, so it's a pair. So he's a Jedi, which might mean he's a disciple of Luke Skywalker. Oh, hell yeah. Because all these men died or whatever. I mean what happened to Luke Skywalker's mates?
Starting point is 01:51:08 They all died? because he had a little fortress and Kylo Ren killed him all or whatever Is that a dream sequence? No, it happened in the movies. I don't remember that. Remember Kyle Ren killed all these burnt down the Jedi Temple?
Starting point is 01:51:18 I remember the burning down of the Jedi Temple. I just didn't know there were any guys in there. No, he wasn't upset because the building burnt down. Oh, interesting. All my knickknacks! Yeah. All my knickknacks I'd collected.
Starting point is 01:51:30 All my wooden books. Right? Which is what they do in Star Wars. All my wooden books and holocrons. The Padawads mother also plays... That's like collecting. in DVDs and also like laser disc, wooden books and holocrons. The Badawan's mother also plays an important role in the story.
Starting point is 01:51:48 And there's another major female character as well. Brownlee's going to have a... You're flying pretty close to the sun there, Disney. Not wrong, Mason. More than one female character. I mean, you said to me finally a Star Wars for men. That's what you said. I did say that, yes.
Starting point is 01:52:00 For a white man. Yeah, that's right. Since it's got a significantly smaller budget and a more constrained story. So I know they say it's a standalone. We'll see. We will see one. Depending on how well this comes out. Maybe the original script,
Starting point is 01:52:14 maybe the original concept is a standalone. But once those bloody, once bloody Kathleen Kennedy gets her claws in, you know what I mean? Yeah. Let's put some Luke Skywalker in there. Let's put some Harrison Ford in there.
Starting point is 01:52:27 He'll be back. No, he's dead. Yeah, no, but Harrison Ford's still alive. No, he's dead in real life. I'm calling it now. I reckon it's going to happen before this episode comes out. Damn. I was just looking if Ryan Gosling has ever done a sequel,
Starting point is 01:52:37 and I don't know if he has. Is the Grey Man a sequel to anything? Is there a better movie than the Grey Man that came before the Grey Man? I mean, there is, but it's not said in the same universe. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're thinking of Kramer versus Kramer. The only thing I can think of is he did that papyrus avatar sketch twice.
Starting point is 01:52:56 He did, that's true, yeah. So I guess technically he does do sequels to some of his Saturday Night and he works with the drive director on another movie, but they aren't there. Only God. Only God, let us. Chop your hands off. Chop your hands off. I wasn't going to spoil it.
Starting point is 01:53:10 If you haven't seen that movie by now, you don't even know what it is. Don't worry about it. What's that guy's name? Nicholas Winding wrestling. Oh, you Wingings, yep, absolutely. I knew he had a funny name. You did.
Starting point is 01:53:23 What's interesting about this is, well, a number of things. First of all, Star Wars. Second of all, the Cadens comes out May 28th of 2027. In that month, on May 7th is when Avengers Secret Wars comes out. Oh. So this is off the back of that. Okay. Which could be good or bad, depending on.
Starting point is 01:53:38 How either of these go They've also So they're setting up A Star Wars to run against a secret wars I mean three weeks after But yeah basically You gotta get out there So true isn't it
Starting point is 01:53:49 So true Mason I think this one is happening Because it's You've got that could be the slogan for the movie as well Star Wars Starfighter You've got to get out there I think they said it's filming in fall In the US
Starting point is 01:53:59 So you know Get me off of this crazy thing Hey Dave They're all in his cockpric Hey Dave Starfighter We're going to get to the Jedi Temple. Because you're friends with Luke Skywalker and you're his son. Agreed?
Starting point is 01:54:16 Yep. And it's Father's Day. It's Star Wars Father's Life Day. That's right. Now, here's something that's even more coming out. It's called The Mandalorian versus Grogoo. That is coming out. That's May 22nd of next year.
Starting point is 01:54:28 Okay. There is a leaked trailer which you can find online. That's right. Some of us watched it. If you're a pirate. If you're a pirate, which I'm not. But we watched it. You scumb of the earth.
Starting point is 01:54:36 We had to watch it. I had to do it for our jobs. Exactly. We didn't want to. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can the coal miner refuse to mine the coal? No, he cannot. No, he cannot.
Starting point is 01:54:45 We're merely a cog in the means of production. That's so true, isn't it? Mason. We've got to seize that means of production. I'm tired. I got it. Put that down. You picked up the podcast mic, everybody.
Starting point is 01:54:56 Don't touch that. Fun little visual gag there. For the rest of the episode, my audio is just going to be like... Yeah. But that's seizing the means of production, man. I think so, too. So it opens with the Mandalorian and Groglet. They're storming and...
Starting point is 01:55:12 No, no, no, no, James, it doesn't start with that. It starts with a number of stormtroopers in some sort of structure. They're in there, they're on high alert. There's all the stormtroopers. There's regular stormtroopers. There's snow stormtroopers. There's snow mask thing. There's other guys.
Starting point is 01:55:29 There's a guy and he's just got the dark helmet helmet and he's like, secure your positions. You know? That guy's there. A guy comes in who... No, no, no, no, James. You're ahead of us here. Then there's a door there. Yeah. And you're like...
Starting point is 01:55:41 Who's in that? Well, I mean, I would assume nobody. I would assume they'd pan to the door and then pan back to them in. But they don't. But then the bloody door comes open and who's there, the Mandalorian? And he can't be shot. He's got that indestructible armor on, which really sap some of the tension from the scene. Because he does a sort of a corridor walk.
Starting point is 01:55:58 Yeah. You know, it's an interesting shot idea because you sort of, you sort of pan all the way through... Some good glory. You pan all the way through the stormtroopers. And then the door blasts. open and you pan all the way back with mandolore and cutting a swath. But again, it would seem more dangerous if you didn't have that indestructible whatever armor it is that he has.
Starting point is 01:56:16 The best car armor. Yeah, that's right. And you're like, damn, he's doing some moves. But you could just as easily not do any moves. Yeah, he wouldn't have to do anything. Barely have to move. And then we see Groglett. He's swimming around, isn't he?
Starting point is 01:56:27 He's seeing the force. People are loving it. He's dodging a wheel. Sigoni Weaver isn't loving it. She was like, stop trying to do that. Yeah, stop it. She's in this. So apparently she acts as the go between him and the New Republic.
Starting point is 01:56:37 Is Werner Herzog in this? No, he's dead. He died before this episode came out. Oh, yeah. Yeah, R-R-P, man. Is he dead? He's not dead, is he? The actor?
Starting point is 01:56:46 Yeah. The actor-director, the actor-director. Yeah. He's alive. Thank God. He just released, did you listen to his audio book? No. It's great.
Starting point is 01:56:52 What's it about? Sad stuff. I was going to say, how much sad stuff isn't about. What's called? What's it called again? It's got a great. Oh, it's called, um, hang on, I'll find it for you. I'm sad.
Starting point is 01:57:01 Stop looking at me. No, I've mentioned it before. Hang on. His autobiography is called Every Man for Himself and God Against All That's what it's called, yeah Here's a quote from him Some notable quotes
Starting point is 01:57:13 Is what? It was a wrestling heel for a while I believe it. Like a local wrestling It's incredible You know Here's a quote from ministers from Google AI It's called Sad Werner
Starting point is 01:57:21 Wow Civilization is like a thin layer of ice Upon a deep ocean of chaos and darkness Classic Yeah, deal with in a Werner Hutzug voice Hey boys Civilization Civilization.
Starting point is 01:57:36 What is it again? Give me the line. Civilization is like a thin layer of ice upon a deep ocean of chaos and darkness. I can't, I don't have to read it. Yeah. Do you want to read it? Yeah, I'll read it.
Starting point is 01:57:46 Civilization is like a thin layer of ice upon a deep ocean of chaos and darkness. Chapter 1 by me, Bertha Herzog. Also, Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy. Boo! You're indifferent. I am. It's true.
Starting point is 01:58:03 Confirmed that six other previous. previously revealed Star Wars films were still going ahead. Not true. This includes whatever James Mangold is working on. It was like a Force Origins Jedi movie. I guess the Simon Kinberg Ray trilogy. I guess James Mangold is back in because Indiana Jones failed, but then he did a complete unknown.
Starting point is 01:58:19 And that was a big hit. That's true. So he's back on the nice list. Yeah. And you liked Indiana Jones 5. And you said it was going to be your most anticipated movie of the year. I knew a bit embarrassed when it wasn't. You're thinking of you.
Starting point is 01:58:31 Even though you knew in your heart, it wasn't... You're thinking of you? You're thinking of you. I never said that. You said it every week. You can't prove it. You said it every week on this podcast. You're going to have to do a lot of quick editing to remove all your claims.
Starting point is 01:58:44 No, you're not even going to go and look at them. So I don't mind. She also specifically mentioned Tycho Wittiti's Star Wars film and she's like, oh, he's on his own kind of timeline, you know. Let me be clear, Tycoe, Wittiti's Star Wars movie and moving on. That's what you said. Yes, that's right. Which of those are going to go ahead. I think we will see the Ray trilogy. I don't know whether it's going to be any time.
Starting point is 01:59:04 soon. Uh-huh. But I think we're eventually going to get, it's going to say 7,89. We did that. 10, 11, 12. Uh-huh. Yeah. Or it might be a new Jedi order series or something.
Starting point is 01:59:15 I don't know. Do you want to keep numbering these? Do I want to do it? Yeah. Oh, do you want to... I could. I know you could, but do you think it's good for the brand to be like Star Wars 10? No, absolutely not.
Starting point is 01:59:27 I didn't think anybody's excited to see Star Wars 10? No. Star Wars episode 10? I think people... The Rise of the Force power? I think the next one will be, the next Star Wars 10 will not have a number on it. People will informally call it Star Wars 10. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:59:41 They'll be like, it's the start of a new trilogy or whatever. But they're... This is a new era for Star Wars. It's set five years after return to the Jedi. They've learned from, you know, Mission Impossible and et cetera. Don't put a part, don't put a number in it. You're stupid idiots. You're stupid idiots.
Starting point is 01:59:53 Yeah. I don't know, maybe you leave it long enough and then the people who grew up on the new trilogy. I mean, that was 10 years ago that first one came out. So they're already here. They're already at your work. Mason. Oh, no. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:00:06 So, you know, maybe then you, then you could. How excited with people for episode seven? And you remember. It was 10 years ago. I remember vaguely, yeah. It wasn't last year. No. It was 10 years ago.
Starting point is 02:00:15 Wow. Yeah, wow. Mason, this is by the happy, sad, confused podcast. Was that all the Star Wars news? No, this is also Star Wars. Just get excited for once. Why can't you just love Star Wars as much as everybody does, which is nobody anymore? I don't know.
Starting point is 02:00:29 Why can't I just love Star Wars as much as all the people that hate everything that comes out of Star Wars? Bryce Dallas was talking about Samuel Jackson And as we know he played Mace Window and he was killed Allegedly apparently In the last Star Wars movie What are you the emperor's lawyer Now as we know in the light
Starting point is 02:00:49 He was allegedly killed You even did the finger quotes Allegedly killed Let's not commit to anything right We just don't fall a great distance Might as a head It doesn't mean anything Now my client was simply attempting to recharge
Starting point is 02:01:01 Some light globes In his fancy the floating apartment or whatever he lives in. And he was doing that, utilizing a skill he learned, you know, as a businessman, lightning from the hands. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:01:14 And Mace Windu, I mean, first of all, he ended without a warrant. Yeah, not okay. Not on and all. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:01:22 And then he leapt from the, he leapt from the... And his hand fell off. And his hand fell off. Also, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Possible drug use. Who's to say?
Starting point is 02:01:33 Who is to say? I'm, you know, objection overruled. All right. Strike it from the record, but you all know. Yeah, that sounds about right. Yeah, yeah. She said, Sam Jackson has been incredibly supportive of him in his, and he's told me many times that he would act in something that I directed.
Starting point is 02:01:46 And then I went straight to Dave Foloni, Cowboy Hat, Star Wars. And he said, and I was like, I love Cowboy Hat Star Wars. So let's talk about Mace Window and where he is, because is he dead, is he? So what do you think, Mason? Bring back Mace Windu. You do that Obi-1 show, you make it not as boring. And you have him, he has to refight to the, Emperor.
Starting point is 02:02:04 Because you don't know what happened between Star Wars episode three and Star Wars episode four to Mace Windo. That's true. They could have had another fight that's the same. Yeah. Except this time it would have been set on the ground. Yeah. And at the end, the Emperor flings him into the air.
Starting point is 02:02:18 And then you just never see him again. And his foot comes off. That's right. And you know what? Two appendages left. That's right. So we've got two more sequels in him. Oh my God.
Starting point is 02:02:29 Yeah. I'm kind of past the point where I want to see anybody ever again. Both in movies. and alive. Okay, yeah. Yeah. So you were telling me early to get excited about this Star Wars news
Starting point is 02:02:41 and then you lay it all out and then you're like, I don't care if any of these characters live or die, nor do I care about the actors. Or anybody in real life. Anybody in real life? I don't know.
Starting point is 02:02:54 Sometimes I wish I was on the ground and then I got flying into space and I never returned. And my foot came off. Came off. Because then if your kids were like, Dad, can you help me with? this, you'd be like, can't, foot came off.
Starting point is 02:03:06 Sorry, kids. I'd love to if my foot didn't come off, which it did. So, yeah, I don't know. I think it's because, you know, having just watched Andor, it's like, I don't think anything's better than this. Yeah. And, you know, but also Star Wars is whatever.
Starting point is 02:03:21 There is, they've got little kid Jedi shows where they're, and they're running around and being like, I don't, I got it off lip and believe of myself. What kind of fruit is this? And then it's, and or where, you know, it's pretty great. rim.
Starting point is 02:03:34 Yeah. So, yeah. They know what fruit it is. And that fruit is oppression. And they're fighting back against it. They certainly are, Mason. Do you know what's coming in today right now? What's that?
Starting point is 02:03:44 Trailers. That's right. Hank. Okay. Hack. Stop. Hack. I don't like this.
Starting point is 02:03:55 This boat. So he's already dumped his trailers. Has he? He gave you two finger smokestacks and then he took off. What am I going to do with that? Nothing. I'm not even going to think about it. Mason.
Starting point is 02:04:06 I think you're going to do nothing but think about it. Memory hole it. And then we got a trailer for The Mandalorian versus Groglet. This is a continuation of the Mandalorian TV series. Correct. And by extension, the Book of Boba Fett, the TV series and Assoca the TV series. Probably. It's five years after Return of the Jedi.
Starting point is 02:04:24 This is the first cinematic Star Wars film since The Rise of Skywalker. Directed by John Fabro, written by John Faber on Dave Faloni. Oh, the two boys. And let me tell you, the... reception wasn't very positive, I would say, middling. I don't know. Yeah. I also don't know. Do you care about this? I don't care. Not at all. It's kind of not enough to... But maybe general audiences do. They're like, ooh, Star Wars on the big screen, haven't seen one of those in a while, very excited. Yeah, they just had an episode pushed on me every week for the past four years or whatever.
Starting point is 02:04:54 It's a little bug in here, Mason. Um... There's no bugs. Okay. Not anymore. I got them all with my claps. But it's yeah, I mean, if it's a, look, if it's a fun little adventure then sure, the Razor crest is back, which is good. I don't like how he's in that little ship. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the Phantom Menace era ship. Terrible. How do you do anything?
Starting point is 02:05:15 You don't want to walk around? You don't want to go to a jog? You want to go to the toilet? Do you want to go to the toilet for Mandelorloin? Don't despoil a beautiful Phantom Menace era ship by going to the toilet in it and on it. You stupid idiot. The Mandalorian? So I mean, I lost track of the Mandalorian and Assoca and so on and so forth.
Starting point is 02:05:35 How? By not watching them? By not watching them? Or by watching them and forgetting. A combination of both. I can do both. You're amazing. Thank you.
Starting point is 02:05:43 You can do it all. So I remember the Razor crest blowing up. Yeah, that was good. And then Grogu, he got sent away to go to Luke Skywalker. He had to go to Luke Skywalker's house. But then they just reset the status quo, right? In a different series. In a different series.
Starting point is 02:05:58 So if you were like, I'm solely watching the Mandalorian, he gave away Groglet and then Groglet just came back. Correct. Or he just, did you, or you never saw him give him away? No, there's an episode where he goes to visit Luke Skywalker. Oh yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 02:06:13 I'm alive and I'm young and my voice is normal. My face is normal. Everything's normal about me. Yeah. You can trust me. You can trust me. I look normal. Oh, no, because he didn't drop him off because Luke Skywalker came to visit him.
Starting point is 02:06:27 To visit him on the ship. and everybody cried on YouTube when they saw the sky. So, but you could just ignore all the continuity of all the subsequent, like the Book of Boeufet and Assoca and whatever. You could ignore anything.
Starting point is 02:06:41 I guess you can. Yeah. You'd be amazed at the things you can not pay attention to. Yeah. I do it every day. Yeah. I do it a lot on this podcast.
Starting point is 02:06:50 I agree. I don't care about this. Neither do I. But that's the thing. Like, surely if the, the idea. I think it's, If there wasn't that book of Boba Fett and we hadn't had any Mandalorian cids, the groglet went with Luke Skywalker, then I think I'd be like, oh, it's been a while, maybe I care about
Starting point is 02:07:08 this. But there's been so much stuff since. But it's interesting to me that there was never any real. So there was never a season of the Mandalorian where he's like, boy, I sure am lonely without Grogu, I wish he was here. Because he's just never, as far as the series goes, he's never been gone. What am I going to do with his Dark Saver or whatever? Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 02:07:27 Or they did that. I don't know. Like surely there's some dramatic weight to being like, and isn't also... You're asking the right question. I am asking a lot of good questions. Wasn't there a whole bit, like the whole character art for the Mandalorian where he's like, well, I'll never take my helmet off. It's really important that I never take my helmet off.
Starting point is 02:07:44 And then he's like, well, actually, I was in a cult. Which I should probably not be in a cult. No, there was a machine where you had to scan your face, anyone's face. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And Bill Burr was there. Bill Burr was there. This is before he went to Saudi Arabia. Before he went to Saudi Arabia for a million dollars.
Starting point is 02:08:00 With Jemotan. With Jumann. Jumalun is there. Wasn't their character development where he's like, I don't want to be in this cult anymore? Now he's like, well, back in the cult, the cult's actually cool. No, in the third series, which I don't know whether you watched,
Starting point is 02:08:14 they were like, the only way, because you took your helmet off, because he was honorable and he told them that he did, was if you bathe in the waters of Mandelor. And he's like, well, Mandelor blew up in a big explosion for whatever happened. and they're like, well, we don't give a shit. Yeah, figure it out. Figure it out. And so he did, he goes into the water.
Starting point is 02:08:31 How'd he go to the water if it blew up? He went underground, man, probably. And there was still water there. He could have used the time travel tree. He didn't ate it. He probably would have if he dated it, but he didn't need it. Yeah, yeah. And then he, but he stepped into the water, but there was no floor.
Starting point is 02:08:45 So he sung for a really long time. But then he got out. I can't remember how. Probably jet pack. Yeah, he probably used his jetpack, but it was something else, I think. And then they were like, good job. And then he's allowed to continue doing everything exactly as he already had before.
Starting point is 02:08:59 From an outsider's perspective, a lot of this sounds bad. Like, bad character development. I can see how you'd think that. I can understand, well, maybe the description that I've given you was not painted a visceral and, I would even say, terrifying image. Seated to your brain. I can understand that.
Starting point is 02:09:14 But that's not what's happened to you. It's actually good. So maybe... Well, good. It's great. Then I'm excited for the mandolin. You didn't listen to be talented enough. No, I didn't.
Starting point is 02:09:23 That is confirmed. You just said, I don't... It should have just been a cowboy show, is what I'm saying. I agree. Cowboy show. And then he's like, and it's like, dum, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, right. And then he's like, well, actually, it's cool that I'm,
Starting point is 02:09:41 I'm not in this cult. Yep. And I feel good about it. And now I'm... The Boba Fett show was good. No, wasn't. Remember that bit where he was like, I like this town. I'm the sheriff now.
Starting point is 02:09:50 I'm Boba Fett. I do remember that, yes. And Timmy the Olfant was there, maybe. I don't think he was a lot. that. No, but he was in some of it at some point. It was in some of it. Yes. Fuck, man. So much potential to just be a stupid, a stupid fun thing. But then he's got this Dave Filoni character, he's got to bury it in law, doesn't he? I don't think it's connect everything. Yeah, I mean, it's all of them, isn't it? I mean, it's a lot of, it would be a lot
Starting point is 02:10:12 of meetings and focus groups and yeah and looking at data and whatever. And I'm like, well, that's not interesting. No. It's awful. It's probably the worst thing that could ever happen. I agree. Yeah. Out May 22nd of next year. All right then. Can't come quick enough so we can get over it. Get it over with. Get it done. Knock it out. What's the plot of this also?
Starting point is 02:10:31 I don't know. And his Werner Herzog coming back. I don't know. Let me check. The mandolary. I want to see the baby again. Show me the baby again. I heard you.
Starting point is 02:10:40 The baby went away and no, no, you've got the baby again. Show me the baby. The Mandalorian versus Groglett synopsis. What a cute little fellow. There we go. The evil empire has fallen. All right.
Starting point is 02:10:51 Great. And the imperial warlords remain scattered throughout the galaxy. Great. As the fledgling New Republic works to protect everything, the rebellion fought for, they've enlisted the help of legendary, legendary, mandolarian bounty hunter, Dind Jaron, and his younger apprentice groglet. Correct. That's the story.
Starting point is 02:11:08 Of, I guess, any episode. And of this, and of this, this is a big budget episode, which we're calling a movie. That's great. We are calling it that. Yeah. Some people have said, James, they've said, well, you know, some people have said, oh, this looks flat and dull and boring. Yeah. Because they're using the volume, but they don't have the guide actually knows how that works.
Starting point is 02:11:26 Yeah, whoever that is. Greg Fraser. And it looks bad. And people like, well, actually, the TV show actually looked like a movie. So actually, it's very good. Some of it did. I think it looks bad. Some of it looked good.
Starting point is 02:11:38 Yeah, the first season looked good. I think it looks bad compared to a lot of movies. Yep. And I don't want to do Star Wars sequel, what do you call it? You know, going over it again and revisionism. Yeah. Well, they actually were incredible, actually. They all look good.
Starting point is 02:11:54 Yeah. The last one is bad. Yeah. But they all look great. Mm-hmm. This is a real downgrade. Flat. It's flat.
Starting point is 02:12:00 Weird and the lighting's weird. Lydings weird. Lydding, grey and brown. But Sigourney Weaver's there. She's there. Two Sogony Weaver trailers this way. Two Scalgoney Weaver, that's... Man, that's all you could ask for, really.
Starting point is 02:12:09 That's right. Yeah. I mean, if you're here just for knowing when Sigourney Weaver is in a trailer. You are eating well this week. You are, oh, my God. Yum. Yum. A feast for you, Yum.
Starting point is 02:12:19 Yum. But if you want a really good Mandalorian movie, you're not getting that. It's not going to happen. No. Maybe in 10 years. I think if Pedro Pascal didn't get famous, they could have had him have his helmet off.
Starting point is 02:12:30 All the time. And that would have been more interesting. I think so too. The last series, I don't know if you watched it all. No. Or maybe, I don't know. He wasn't in it. Yeah, he still voiced it, but you really felt it.
Starting point is 02:12:41 Right. It was just like, this is some guy. There's only so much of this guy running around with a helmet on, you can give a fuck about. Because there's three guys, right? There's Pedro Pascal. There's a guy in a suit and there's a stunt guy. And maybe another guy and sometimes he's CGI.
Starting point is 02:12:55 I don't know. And I don't want to know. We've spent a lot of time on this trailer that we do not care about. That's what people love. I think so too. We're only nearly 40 minutes in. Oh, that's great. Let's do this, Mason.
Starting point is 02:13:08 This is all good news, isn't it? Let's talk about Star Wars. Okay. So you might have heard last week. There was big Star Wars news. Yes. Because Adam Driver, came out and he said, I'm Kylo Ren. I was Kyleo Ren.
Starting point is 02:13:22 And yet I still am. Everybody cheered. We love you, Kyleo Ren, they said. He said, I was always interested in doing another Star Wars. I've been talking about doing another one since 2021. Driver felt he had an arc in mind for Ren that inverted the journey of Darth Vader as a trilogy involved. It didn't plan out that way.
Starting point is 02:13:39 Driver felt there was unfinished business for Kylo Ren or as he had known before turned to the dark side. So when you say reverse journey, Yeah. Kylo Rem was going to get like additional limbs added to his body. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah. Like a Goro.
Starting point is 02:13:54 Like a Goro. Exactly. That's right. That's right. Yeah, I mean, the reverse journey of Darth Vader was Luke Skywalker. So, I don't know, man. They were interested. So the filmmakers then pulled in Scott Z Burns to write a script. Driver calls a result one of the coolest. Expletative.
Starting point is 02:14:11 Expletive? Yes. Scripts I'd ever been a part of. Wow. We presented the script to Lucasfilm. They love the idea. crapping scripts there's ever been. This is so crapping good.
Starting point is 02:14:22 We presented the script of Lucasville. They loved the idea. They totally understood our angle of why we were doing it. We took it to Bob Iger and Alan Bergman, and they said no. They didn't see how Ben Solo was alive, and that was it. This was two years of development. Yeah, well. I don't know if you knew that, may say.
Starting point is 02:14:40 And they had a whole schedule and they budgeted it out and stuff like that. Is that right? Yeah. It was called The Hunt for Ben Solo, and it was really cool, lads driver. And it was, but it is no more so I can finally talk about it. Soderberg said in a statement, I really enjoyed making the movie in my head. I'm just sorry the fans won't get to see it. I know people hate Kathleen Kennedy, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 02:14:57 But a lot of this stuff, it seems, a lot of the direction of this and the speed of this comes from Bob Eager directly. So, you know, I'm saying, that's all I'm saying, that's all I'm saying, man. And look, obviously this guy is just a money guy. He doesn't know anything about the creative process or anything like that. But I think it's interesting, as you described that to me, It's interesting they didn't have an answer for him When he said, well, I don't understand How Ben Solo would come back.
Starting point is 02:15:22 They didn't have anything? They didn't... I'm sure they did. They didn't preempt that, yeah. The fucking wild thing is that, like, they brought back the emperor for the last one. Yeah. And he got through into the center of a fucking exploding planet or whatever happened.
Starting point is 02:15:35 And they're just like... And they brought back Darth Maul. And they, I mean... Han Solo came back as a ghost. He's not even a fucking force man or whatever. idea like you just say that when Ben Solo died, his force ghost went into the machines that brought the emperor back. And you can't do it again. No. Because it blew up. But it worked once and he'd come, he could come out at the start and be like, what's happening? I don't know. I'm wet. I'm wet. I'm wet. This sucks. And my pants are so high. Or they're low now.
Starting point is 02:16:08 I'm low. My pants are so low. Redemption. Yeah, that's right. You just say that. Because, you You know, obviously, it's cheap to go well if there's a technology that can bring people back. Well, you just say... He's magic. It was the last bit of the technology and it blew up and you can't do it again. And he's a forced idea. And now he's back and everybody likes him, so it's fine. You know what else?
Starting point is 02:16:29 There are scenes in that movie where things fade out and transfer to another thing. He could have fucking teleported. Like, she teleported the lightsaber to him and whatever. Oh, yeah. We've seen it happen. That's true. You could have, you could do any... It doesn't matter.
Starting point is 02:16:44 Or he was on another ship. Remember, Chewbacher? Remember, they blew up Chewbacca? He was on the other ship. Just say Ben Sol was on the other ship? It's all, yeah, well, that's the other ship. The other thing, he might not have even been there. Luke Schoiker fought a big battle, he wasn't there, was he?
Starting point is 02:16:57 Oh, that's true. He wasn't there, Mason. He was on, he was dying. He should have brought us in. In fact, it's not too late to do that now. Kathleen Kennedy, fly us over, first class, we'll do it. Fly us over, and when we get there, we need it. In Hollywood, we need an open-top convertible.
Starting point is 02:17:10 Yep. So we can drive around, have the wind blow in our hand. Obviously, that's going to happen. as we go to visit Bob Iger, and we kick the door in, and we go, Bob Iger, what about a machine, and there's a machine on the planet?
Starting point is 02:17:19 We flip the helmet down on the hamlet of barrow wherever you're both wearing. We shock him. We shock him in the silence. Then we go like, and then maybe the magic, and then he teleproped the lightsaber, we could teleport to the lights over.
Starting point is 02:17:29 And he's wet. And he's wet, his pants are low, and they're sexy. And they're low. Yeah, man. Yeah. Give us a chance. Give us a chance, man.
Starting point is 02:17:40 This is wild. It is wild. Apparently, David Fincher also pitching an idea of a sequel to the Rise of Skywalker to Lucasfilm. They said you can't do this because we'd have to give up full creative control. He said, well, I want it. Yeah, I'm not interested in what you want. I'm David Fincher.
Starting point is 02:17:56 I'm Alien 3's David Fincher. You know me. You know me. You know me. You know me. You know me. You know me. I'm doing too many.
Starting point is 02:18:02 Oh, Timmy takes Fincher. I'm the first one to admit it. That's right. It's annoying. I'm annoying. I'm going to ask for a second take of this conversation. See if it can go better for me. David Fincher
Starting point is 02:18:15 I didn't know this but he worked as an assistant cameraman on Return of the Jetto It's one of his might have been the movie that he got his start on So that's probably why they don't want him again Yeah
Starting point is 02:18:23 Because after every take he'd be like Do it again Do it again Bad flip Do another flip Bad Yes I know I'm just a cameraman But I'm David Fincher
Starting point is 02:18:32 One day I'll be David Fincher I'll be Alien 3's David Fincher That's right Think about this Wooden Planet Well Monks What do you think about that?
Starting point is 02:18:42 I'm a cameraman but I got big ideas. Kill a little girl. Kill a little girl from the previous movie. What do you think about that? Squash her. Squash her in a ship. I'm David Fincher.
Starting point is 02:18:55 Not famous yet. That's right. But one day I'll be making movies for Netflix. You know what that is? I do. I'm David Fincher. There was also another Star Wars game announced called Star Wars Galactic Racer.
Starting point is 02:19:09 Okay. This is in the spirit of, well, Super Bowl. bomb batter racing but really it's a pod racer but it's not just pod racers it's other ships as well and in the trailer you're not going to believe who's there who's the original no groglet shut up come on man who's the original pod racer um so don't say ben quateranaro subalba yes mason it's old subalb he's back he's got a long beard didn't he fall into an engine or something is sub olba what because he's old sub old sub older sub old no he didn't fall into an engine he's his engines flew up
Starting point is 02:19:43 and he crashed and he went, God fucking damn it. I wanted to kill that boy. And you know what? The galaxy would have been better if you did. He would have been a hero. I want one F bomb in this movie and it's going to be subalba.
Starting point is 02:19:55 He just speaks pure alien jibberish up to that point where he goes, God fucking damn it. I will kill that kid. And he should have. Yeah. He would have been the hero. Agreed.
Starting point is 02:20:07 He would never have known. Yeah. Yeah. That's our 2026. That one's actually coming out. Have they done? Why am I asking this question? Of course they have.
Starting point is 02:20:14 Have they done the adventure of subalba in some other format? Yeah, probably. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Disney Plus, subalba versus groglet. Put it in your app. Yeah. Subalba versus Groglet, they'll draw that for you. I want subalba to eat groglet like a pelican.
Starting point is 02:20:29 Yeah. Yeah. Nice. Put him in his gullets. Yeah, that's right. And that's all the Star Wars news we have for now. You okay with that? I'm okay with that.
Starting point is 02:20:39 I wish I had more. Do you want to quickly check? I wish you had more too because I could do with a bloody, bloody quick nap. I'll tell you that much, mate. A quick nap in the studio. You can take a nap, nobody's going to mind.
Starting point is 02:20:50 Okay, I'll just crumple up this energy drink can and use it as a pillow. You'll like this one, Mason. I know you do. Then the movie Companion, which is about a robot AI that's your girlfriend. Sure. But maybe you don't like that.
Starting point is 02:21:05 Maybe it doesn't like you. Maybe she gets reprogrammed to murder. I saw the tray. It looks fun. It does look fun. Well, there's a new trailer, and it looks interesting. Jack Quaid. Jack Quaid's got some big, he's in two big movies.
Starting point is 02:21:17 He's also in Novocaine, which I saw the trailer to the other day about a man who can't feel any pain and he's got to rescue his girlfriend or something, who's a different girlfriend. Yes. From the one and companion, he's not trying to rescue his murderous sex. No, no, no. That's, so Sophie Thatcher is in that. And Lucas Gage is a good cast. I like it. Rupert friend.
Starting point is 02:21:36 He's no Rupert friend of mine, Mason. Why not? Because we've never met. Interesting. Do you think you would be a good friend to Rupert Friend if you didn't? It depends. I don't want it to be one of those relationships where like we feel obligated to do things for each other. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't want to feel like there is that give and take. I want it to evolve naturally where maybe occasionally we do kind things to each other, but it's more about just hanging out. I can ask him about Obi-One. Do you think Rupert friend feels obligated to be people's friends because his name is Rupert friend. Yeah, definitely. But I don't want to put that on it.
Starting point is 02:22:02 Do you think his attitude is Rupert friend by name your friend by nature? That's his, that's his motto. That's his family motto. I don't know him. But do you know him? No, he doesn't, I mean, he's in, his Wikipedia photo. It doesn't, he doesn't strike me as somebody he's trying to be your friend. Because he's got a little mustache. Yeah. Is that what?
Starting point is 02:22:17 He's looking stern, you know? Well, Rupert friend, shoot me a text. He's 43, so I reckon we'd have, you know, some cultural references. I think we'd have some cultural references. And we'd both seen the Joe Obey one. Exactly. I'd be like, do you remember Agro's Cartoon Connection? And he would say, no, because I'm from England probably.
Starting point is 02:22:36 Yeah, we didn't get that here. Do you remember British Agro's Cartoon Connection? I'll say. It's right. You'll say yes. That's right. Also, in terms of TV shows, The Rookie Season 7 started in January.
Starting point is 02:22:48 Is this a joke that you're happy with bringing into 2025? Absolutely. Let's bring it in here. The fact that I'm your contention, seemingly out of nowhere, that I'm obsessed with the TV series of The Rookie starring. I don't think you're obsessed. You just like it.
Starting point is 02:23:01 That's fine. You said obsessed. I don't dislike it because I've had no experience with the TV show The Rookie. You would think at this point I would maybe try a couple of episodes. And I thought maybe as a gag, I would do that, but I haven't. Do you like gags, though? Imagine the, God, the raucous laughter that would occur. Oh, my God, yeah. God, it would bring peace to the world, wouldn't it? Are you going to jump into season seven, though? I mean, you would, because you've already caught up. I feel like, if I was going to start,
Starting point is 02:23:28 I might start at season seven. That's crazy. I know, right? What are you doing? I'd watch a six-season recap that I made. Yeah. And then I would watch season seven. Because I don't know, I feel like, I don't know, do I want to start watching the show that has only just found, you know, it's still finding its feet in season one? Yeah, good point. Yeah. And then October we've got Michael. Oh, that's the Michael Jackson movie. All right.
Starting point is 02:23:50 I've had to re-film that. That's in trouble, yeah. That's in trouble because they, they, apparently they filmed the lot, the third act about one of the kids that accused him of all his various crimes. Yep. And then they realized afterwards that they promised the family they would never do that. Because they gave them $20 million in size. something that said we won't ever use this in a movie. And we forgot about that.
Starting point is 02:24:11 We forgot we did that. I fucking hate all of this. I don't know why they're doing this. And why are they doing it and then putting that in and then not thinking of the consequences of that even? I don't know, man. Surely you would have looked into the legality of end of that. How about this, James?
Starting point is 02:24:26 Let me, let me picture this idea. Yeah. Michael Jackson, except he's played by a CGI monkey, but his monkey bubbles is played by a CGI Michael Jackson. Mason, that's the best idea. Not just you, but anybody has ever had. Thank you. And I just came up with that at the top of the dime right there.
Starting point is 02:24:48 Look forward to more of those in 2025. One more. I'm going to do one more in mid-year. I hope so. Look, I don't, look, not to get into like the specifics of him and his activities. But you think he did a bunch of crime. I don't know, obviously, but it kind of seems like he did. And even if he didn't, it's still really fucked up.
Starting point is 02:25:04 Yeah, it's not like this is going to get an... It's not okay. This isn't going to have an uplifting finale. No. Yeah. There's also in Melbourne, I think currently there is a Michael Jackson musical happening. Exactly. Michael Jackson, Michael Jackson, Michael Jackson, Michael Jackson, Michael Jackson.
Starting point is 02:25:22 I'm Michael Jackson. I'm Michael Jackson. God, that was his first big hit, wasn't it? Yeah. Hello, everyone. I'm Michael Jackson. Let's move it along. Let's move it along.
Starting point is 02:25:31 Let's move it along. Captain America, Brave New Bird is hitting cinemas the world over. It is the fourth Captain America film. We haven't had a Captain America movie, as mentioned, in nine years. Whoa. And they had an absolutely stellar run. So they've had nine years to come up with the best one they could possibly come up. That is correct, Mason.
Starting point is 02:25:47 And as we said last week, you know, there were a lot of reshoots. Which isn't uncommon. Mm-hmm. We'll talk about the specifics. That's right. So every opportunity to make it better and better and better. So this could be the best movie ever made. I mean, yeah.
Starting point is 02:26:00 Now let's go and see it. And we're back. James, was it the best movie ever made? It actually wasn't. No, I didn't think so, either. Yeah. I hate to say it. And then, oh, post-credit sequence.
Starting point is 02:26:12 He goes back to the raft. So he goes back to the raft. So they put the Red Hulk and also Samuel Stearns both in the raft. Yeah. I presume opposite ends or maybe the same. I don't know. I don't know. It doesn't matter.
Starting point is 02:26:22 They probably share a toilet. Where do you think Rachel Taylor is? Oh, is she in there still? Yeah, we've talked about this. She's still in the raft because she killed all those people in the third season of Jessica Jones and nobody saw. That's great. That's great, most of them.
Starting point is 02:26:34 It's just her and the president. And Samuel Stearns and like one other guy A diamond back is in the raft maybe For Luke Cage Well we should talk about diamond back Because there was supposed to be another diamond back in this I think Anyway so yeah So Mr Probabilities there
Starting point is 02:26:49 And Sam comes back Because I guess he forgot to talk to him Yeah yeah yeah I'll come back actually And he's like listen Because he got captured on purpose Why did you do that Did he say that? Yeah remember he let himself be captured by Sam Wilson
Starting point is 02:27:01 He's like I'm here and the president's gonna turn to the dog He turned himself in You're doing dumb ass Didn't you want to be out of jail? Yeah. Yeah, you spent a long... You were in jail for ages. You were in jail for most of the...
Starting point is 02:27:13 17 years. You were in jail for the entirety of the Infinity saga. And some more. And a little bit more. A little bit more. You missed Spider-Way, Spider-Man, nowhere home. Yeah, that's right. But you know what he did know?
Starting point is 02:27:25 Yeah. So the post-credits is something's coming. There's going to be a big interdimensional thing happening. That's right. I know because I used my probability. I know that too, because all the fucking Paul Portals keep opening. And then we keep stepping out of different dimensions.
Starting point is 02:27:39 I don't think it takes Mr. Probability and math to be like something is coming. Because that's literally what everybody's been talking about for a decade. All these one of these security guards left a newspaper in front of me and I read it. And it said heaps of portals and keep opening. It's crazy out there, actually. Thanks, Mr. Probability. Although what if guys keep showing up. There's a bunch of different guys.
Starting point is 02:28:02 They've got different arms and stuff. They got different arms. You know? We're always wrestling with them. But anyway, he's like, but he's like... It's also really vague. He's not like Dr. Doom is coming. Well, that's the thing because he says,
Starting point is 02:28:12 oh, you think you just got to look out for people from here, but also what about the others? Yeah, we know, man. Yeah. This may be the first Marvel movie that qualifies for our famous award the game is on. Because it's just like... Oh, I think this has happened before.
Starting point is 02:28:25 I'm pretty sure the Eternals. Oh, yeah, maybe. Oh, yeah, maybe, yeah. Eros. But they didn't even do anything. This is up there with the Transformers ending where they, They just hands him a card that says GI Joe and then there's an empty warehouse.
Starting point is 02:28:38 Yeah. Like it's just, what should we, it feels like they did it on the day. Absolutely does. They're like, what could we do? We can't go to something. We can't say this. We can't say this. What about the others?
Starting point is 02:28:47 Yeah. So the others is presumably referring to, I'm going to guess the battle world. Battle world. I'm going to guess that Doomsday slash secret wars, we get a bunch of the what if universes, some of which we're in what if and blah, blah, blah, and some which we've seen in multiverse of madness or whatever, they all converge into another world and then they have a battle world. God, that's great.
Starting point is 02:29:12 And then there's going to be a reboot and all the stuff people liked is going to be in the new universe and the stuff we didn't like is going to be gone. Okay. What don't you like? What do you want to be gone? Captain America for? Just a whole thing. This didn't happen.
Starting point is 02:29:27 Oh, I don't know, man. I'll have to have a big thing. How about the stuff that didn't make money? Good enough? Yeah, they can go. Yeah, yeah. The Electric State. I've heard of it.
Starting point is 02:29:36 It costs $320 million and it's come directly to Netflix. You can watch it on your phone right now. You can watch it on your phone? You can probably, can you can, can you watch Netflix on your Apple Watch? Probably. You can probably do it unlike one of those cheapy watches. Oh, yeah, exactly. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:29:50 This reviewed horrendously. Why do you think that is? I don't know. I mean, it's not great. So, yeah, I mean, they're probably given Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, what, at least $20 million? And then the Russo brothers made one of the two of the biggest movies of all time. So they're getting 50 to 80 probably. And one of the Russo brothers are getting more because he's in it as well.
Starting point is 02:30:11 Yeah, that's right. He's like, there's too many robots. I'm an actor too. That's right. I always give it a go in my movies. I was the first gay man in the MCU. That's right. And I'll be the last.
Starting point is 02:30:23 I said, Fagie, if I'm going to come back and I'm going to do two more Avengers movies or the post-credit scene to be me as a gay man. I'm going to be in the all the gay characters fight part of Battleworld and I'm going to be the victor. They're all going to, the Bionder's going to make him fight to the death or Dr. Doom or whatever. I don't know. We don't know yet. We don't know yet. We've just
Starting point is 02:30:40 got a Taylor's dummy with a green sheet over it. We're going to fill in whatever the villain is. And he's going to be like, oh, the gay characters are going to fight. And I'll be the winner because I'm the director. Well, that's good. It is good, I think. Did you see it this week they came out and said that concept art that leaked was not them? Interesting. I think.
Starting point is 02:30:58 It is. I don't know if it's them specifically because the movie was in development before they came out. I'm on board. Yeah, right. But yeah, that's from the movie. And it might not turn out exactly like that, but also Disney ran around taking that down. That's true they did, yeah.
Starting point is 02:31:10 Make it that while you will. I think it's all a charade. Yeah, I don't like the way they're charading us. Because, you know, they're doing, they're like, what's this? Sounds like, etc. That's exactly. You're happy with that joke? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:31:23 Two words, Avengers, Secret Wars. And then you're like, that's three. What do you say? Which part is the, which two words? Which two are they? Which two words have you? combined? Is it Secret Wars or is it Avengers
Starting point is 02:31:34 secret? What are you doing? I'm so mad right now. It's a good joke, basically. I'm happy with that joke. We're happy with that jokes, aren't we? Are you happy to tell me what the story was? Oh, right. Yeah. And look, I know we're supposed to get on the bandwagon and crush this movie, but it wasn't... Tired, man. They shut down the internet and then Millie Bobby Brown is like, look, a shut down
Starting point is 02:31:58 Ready Player 1 for everybody. But actually, it's good and stop looking at your goddamn phones. That's right, exactly. And there's a news report where the Gay Russo brother is like, and it's shut down all the life support and all the traffic management or whatever. I'm like, probably a lot of people died. Yeah, that seems bad. Yeah. And remember at the end of Ready Player 1 where it was like,
Starting point is 02:32:17 we're going to shut down Tuesdays and Thursdays or whatever? And it's like, what if you can only work Tuesdays and Thursdays? Exactly. I reckon maybe a system where you can pick two days off. Maybe that would be a system. If I were there, that's what I would tell him. Yeah. I would tell Simon Pegg that. I'd say, hey, the ghost of Simon Pegg.
Starting point is 02:32:36 How about... He played that guy? No, he was the head of the company. Was he? Yeah. I'm learning a lot. I thought it was Ben Mendelssohn. No.
Starting point is 02:32:44 That was... Ben Mendelso was there. Yeah. But Mike Rylands. Mark Rylands was definitely there. God, I'm seeing movies. Yeah. But Simon Pegg played the original founder of the company.
Starting point is 02:32:55 It was the ghost. Remember he's like, oh, I remember. I said I... Wasn't that Mike Rylands? No, that was Simon Feig. I thought Mike Rylands was the head of the company. company. He was like, if you remember back to the future too, you could come into the VR win a gem and the sort of unwracked a fucking dragon or whatever.
Starting point is 02:33:10 Yes, he did say that. And then you can ride King Kong. Just stop playing clips from the movie for a second so I can get a goddamn thought out, James. Simon Peck was there and he was a ghost and he was the real guy and he was like, I wish I, I wish I loved that girl and I wish I asked her out but I didn't so I made ready player one instead. And then I lived, we all lived in Reddy Player 1. And then I made a magic quest. Everybody went on the quest to win a trillion dollars. Just ask the girl out, look, she's probably going to say no,
Starting point is 02:33:36 but then, you know, you shot, you shot, and then go for another one later. It's fine, yeah. Fucking rally, man. What are you doing? No, don't rally. Just crash really hard. So a dystopia happens.
Starting point is 02:33:48 Can't imagine that happening to a billionaire, can you? World is ending because somebody got double divorced. A lunatic spitting out. Yeah, no, I can't imagine. And then make it everybody else's problem. I can't imagine that, James. I cannot imagine it. Anyway, get off your phone, everyone.
Starting point is 02:34:03 If you could get off your phone, that's the lesson here. Get off your phone and play with some little metal toy robots or a Billy Bass or whatever, because that's the only real entertainment. Yep, nostalgia. So true. Yeah. Until dawn, on a budget of $15 million.
Starting point is 02:34:19 $15 million. Not very many dollars at all. How many dollars at all? It looks like it's opening weekend in the US is 7 to 8 million. This is going to do okay, I think. Sure. Even if it ends up at about 30 worldwide. that'll be enough.
Starting point is 02:34:30 That'll do it. To recoup its money. That'll do pig. Yeah. It's also a big week, box office weekend. Not only you've got sinners coming out as we talked about. Revenge of the Sith is going to make about $23 million on its re-release. It's a re-release?
Starting point is 02:34:42 That's right. Of a movie I don't really like? Yeah. Should I see it? Yep. I don't want to. You can watch it at home. I could.
Starting point is 02:34:48 For free. I don't want to. But you could. Do you want to go and see Anik and be like, you told me of the Jedi. I were killing my family. I don't love my then. You don't like that? I mean, I like it.
Starting point is 02:34:58 But you don't love it. No, I don't love it. Yeah. Also, the account, Tunch, is going to make about $25 million. Not bad. Pretty decent weekend in terms of box office, I would say. Movies are back. Movies are back.
Starting point is 02:35:11 What do you think the story was? Oh, all right. So, there's a group of teens or possibly young people. I can't tell. They might be in their 30s. They might be in their 30s. They're going a little road trip because one of them, her sister went missing a year ago. And they keep telling you that.
Starting point is 02:35:30 Even though they've been road-tripping for quite a while, they kept reminding each other. That's right. Let's beat ourselves on the head with the back. Didn't your sister go missing? Stop thinking about your sister who went missing for once in your miserable life. But my sister went missing. That's a good point, actually. And she did go missing, your sister.
Starting point is 02:35:48 But anyway, they go to their road trip and they stop off at a mysterious spooky gas station. Fantastic. And the mysterious spooky gas station attendant is like, well, we don't have many people missing at the spooky gas station. Not even, brother. But where a lot of people go missing is the spooky ghost, mysterious ghost town. Yep. Where people go missing.
Starting point is 02:36:07 Constantly. All the time. Maybe you should go down there and check it out. Yeah. I wouldn't say that. Yeah. But he says, maybe don't do it. Maybe don't do that wink.
Starting point is 02:36:14 Is your sister missing? Yes. Yes. You should go there. Finally, somebody's opened that dialogue for me. Yes, she is missing. Yeah, yeah. Anyway, they go to the spooky little town.
Starting point is 02:36:25 And there's a rainstorm. Uh-huh. But is there? Yes. Yep. But they make it to a spooky little town. They go a spooky little town. They get in a spooky little house. Yeah. And then I would say without, this doesn't count of spoiling because it's in the trailer, I would say.
Starting point is 02:36:39 Yep. Well, what I would say, if you don't want to be spoiled, I would say gore and stuff is afoot. Yep. But what I would say, if a thing that's in the trailer, they all get killed. Yeah. By a man and a clown mask. That would mean the movie is over. That's what you would think.
Starting point is 02:36:55 It's what you think, but you've never seen a movie all the way through. That's true. And you don't know how long they are. You told me I should do it for this one, but I didn't. That's good for sticking to your principles, actually. I respect that a lot. But then... When they were like, my sister's missing, I'm like, well, what's the point?
Starting point is 02:37:09 Yeah, that's right. Well, you're never going to find that. Yeah, you're not licensed police investigators, are you? So what are you going to be able to do? Goodbye. You're not Matlock. That's right. You're not even Kathy Bates Matlock.
Starting point is 02:37:19 Exactly. Mrs. Matlock, which is her name. Yep. Mathlock? No. I've never seen it all the way through or at all. Sorry, continue. But then...
Starting point is 02:37:28 Guess what? They're back in the house again. Oh, they're doing Groundhog Day. They're doing a little bit of a Groundhog Day. Or Happy Death Day, which is also a movie that. But they have to make it until dawn, all alive. Otherwise, they'll die or something. Or they go mad or they turn into monsters.
Starting point is 02:37:42 Just to say. We don't know. And they'll tell us all about it. So it is a bit Happy Death Day. It's Groundhog Day. It's the cabin in the woods. There's a bit of that to it. Anyways, let's do some spoilers.
Starting point is 02:37:51 Let's do some spoilers. It's big time. Spoil of this is Peter Stormare. Not only was he running a Peter Store Mayor, a local storm mayor where you come through and you get some things. He's also a psychiatric doctor of sorts. Peter Stormair's fishing liwers and things. That's right.
Starting point is 02:38:07 Yeah, he also... Ice cream sandwiches. Yeah. He is also a psychologist who, or psychiatrist, who is... Or neither. Well, we never see him prescribe any medication, so I think he might be a psychologist.
Starting point is 02:38:22 Or just a crazy person. Maybe he just doesn't give out those Xanaxes like candy, baby. That's good then, I think. Yeah. So, yeah, but so he's pulling double duty. Yeah. He might also be a single dad. I don't know.
Starting point is 02:38:34 We don't know. Maybe he is. But he's come to this town because there was a big, a hole opened up under the town and swallowed it up and a thousand people were killed. Yeah. And seemingly what that has done, I think, it's not really expressly spelled out, but potentially because they hadn't really thought about it. And they're just like. I thought I missed some stuff.
Starting point is 02:38:57 And I went looking through like explanations on the internet. Oh, no, I didn't miss anything. I need to read these so I can do my own explainer video. What it seems to have happened is that the death of all these people has created some sort of psychic bubble of unreality, which as a result allows everything in the movie to happen. Yeah. It doesn't really make any sense. But it's also maybe it's your psyche that's doing it. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:39:22 Because you're mentally ill. Yeah. And you made this happen. And maybe your sister who went missing. she also did it or didn't. And there's a witch once. There is a witch once and maybe she also was in the town. So how does this work?
Starting point is 02:39:37 It doesn't. No, it doesn't. So the... The town sank. Yeah. Except for this place, which didn't sink. So that sometimes some of the town isn't sunk. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:39:48 But so you think you're on the first level of the visitor center, but you're actually on the second, which also doesn't make any sense because it's a waiting area. Yeah, right. Uh-huh. Like, why would you have the sighted area on the second level of a visitor center? It's madness. Yeah. But, okay, so this, I'm assuming it's a psychic bubble, unreality psychic bubble.
Starting point is 02:40:07 Yeah. Where it can't rain. You're it can't rain. So what it can do is one of the things it can do is it's made all the water. So if you drink the water, you explode. Yep. Any of it. Seems that way.
Starting point is 02:40:20 Where did Peter Stormegger's coffee from? That's a great point. I guess he got it from the shop that he works out. Maybe he works out of us. Yeah. iced coffee. Maybe he doesn't own the shop. Maybe he just does shift work.
Starting point is 02:40:30 Maybe. That's right. Yeah. That's not his fault then, is it? He needs a second job. That's true. To support himself. It can also, it, it, so, okay, actually, I guess the, the overarching explanation is that if you, as, as you, as you, God.
Starting point is 02:40:49 Because the visitor's center has a, has a, as a skull hourglass. Yeah, a sand filled hourglass with a skull on it. and it rotates around when there's people in the visitor's center, I guess. Yep. And then you have to, if you live, if you don't, if everybody in the visitor center doesn't end up, it ends up dying by the, before the sand comes through. Yeah. Then the day resets and it ends up.
Starting point is 02:41:16 And you get like 13 chances before you turn into a ghoul. Well, yeah, that's the thing. And every time everybody dies, they come back and like they have bruises or they have extra teeth or whatever it is. and eventually if you don't survive the night you become a part of the night so there are a bunch of monsters in this universe
Starting point is 02:41:35 Wendigos who presumably are all people who went missing Her sister's one of them Yeah yeah yeah Does this include any of the townsfolk That died? Maybe.
Starting point is 02:41:44 Or they don't count Also the first time you die you appear on a missing poster in the visitor's centre Peter Stormers printing them off Is he printing them off? I don't know Magic? It's not, maybe it's magic. No, and sometimes when after you die or you're about to die,
Starting point is 02:42:00 Peter Stormair will walk through and go interesting. Yeah. But like, how's he doing that? Why is he doing that? Why is he immune? Yeah, why is he immune? But he's also not immune because he drinks the water and explodes. Spoiler alert at the end. He decides to come out and reveal to the, the de facto main character what is happening. And he does it in his office and there's a drip of water coming down onto his desk and he leaves his coffee mug and inch away from the drip. And so the lead character, to wait until he's, you know, turned away doing his monologue and she subtly moves the cup, the cup of coffee and some drips of water going to it, and then she moves it back, and he drinks and he explodes.
Starting point is 02:42:34 Yeah. Yeah, so he's not immune to that, but there's a point where he examines all that. We see a video clip that one of the kids has recorded, or adults, has recorded on their phone, and he examines the dead bodies, and then he goes through a doorway. but then later when the characters go through that doorway it is absolutely riddled with zombie clowns and killer wendigoes and like really difficult to navigate things
Starting point is 02:43:07 like they need two people to like move a paint of glass out of the way and you know stumble over here and it's all dark or whatever and it's like it's like when somebody plays a video game and all you know they have someone has to you know invade a headquarters of a villain and it's all falling blocks and fire and swinging sites and stuff. And it's like, how do these people get to work? It's exactly like that.
Starting point is 02:43:30 It's like, how are you immune to this? Because it seems as if also he didn't... Do you have an amulet? Yeah, maybe. He didn't start this. No. He came upon it and is using it to research fear and people turning into monsters. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 02:43:41 And also one of the explanations is, well, actually all these things that are happening, that's because of you're mentally unwell. And I've never seen that. That's right. I'm Peter Storm mayor and I've never seen depression. Yeah, right. And you're manifesting. all of this and causing the night to happen.
Starting point is 02:43:55 But, okay, what? Why? Yeah. Okay. So the sister, who was there a year prior- and presumably on her own. And got turned into a Wendigo. What did she experience?
Starting point is 02:44:05 Did she experience the clock? I guess so, but apparently it's slightly different for everybody. Okay, that's handy. But not many people get explosion water. Right. Apparently that's... Oh, the explosion water's new. Yeah, or unusual.
Starting point is 02:44:18 Because I thought, like, is some of this derived from the fact that the, the town sank? I thought, well, maybe the explosion waters because the town sank. Good point. And explosion waters run up from the groundwater or whatever, but no, I guess it's the psychic powers. And there's also a moment where he's like,
Starting point is 02:44:34 you did all of this, all of this is in your mind. And she's like, so it's not real. And he's like, no, it's real. It's like, okay, is it? Great. No, it's cool. It's happening.
Starting point is 02:44:43 It is happening. But you're doing it in your mind. Yeah. So it's just a figment of my imagination. Nah, you're going to die unless you escape this. you gotta get out of the ground underground before the timer runs out I feel like also like some of these rules are arbitrary
Starting point is 02:44:58 because one of the things is like you can't just stay in a room and live till dawn why not? Why not tips? Why would you bother? But why can't you do that? What the fuck? Because there's no like because they do get out of it but it's on you it seems as if you just have to run around for a bit and then survive. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:45:15 But also one of you has to die but why? And it ends up being Peter Storm mayor and nobody else. That's very handy. So everybody gets out. He should have taken the day off. Also, he doesn't die because it's kind of hinted at the end that he's not there. I just don't understand why you can't lock yourself in a room.
Starting point is 02:45:31 Like, can barricade yourself. Because the unbarricading monster would show up with telekinetic unbarricading powers. Oh, yeah, sometimes it's a ghost. It's an invisible ghost that throws you into a witch's house. It's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It possesses you and then it breaks your neck and then it goes in. to the witch's house?
Starting point is 02:45:52 Then it throws you into a witch's house. And then the witch is there. And the witch possesses you. No, the witch sucks you like. Oh, maybe, yeah, no. And maybe it becomes you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But just for a little bit.
Starting point is 02:46:03 And the witch is watching the TV. Sometimes there's a worm in your face on a phone. Sometimes there's a worm in your face on the phone. Yeah. Boy, they really, it's a real scattershot approach to this, isn't it? It is. Yeah. And again, it's that thing of like, well, yeah, it's all in your mind and it's well of
Starting point is 02:46:18 psychic energy, I guess any irregularities. Except it's real. Except it's real. It's fine, yeah. Oh, yeah, there was that witch that, yeah. That's what I mean, because, like, and the witch is kind of a one-time thing. Yeah. And some of the things they look at on their phone are a one-time thing.
Starting point is 02:46:33 Yeah. But it's mostly just ghoul's biting you. Yeah. And sometimes it's a ghoul in a clown mask. Who is in a screaming zombie. And he's invincible. Yeah. But then later, you can just beat him up, I guess.
Starting point is 02:46:46 Yeah, you can beat him up a bit. Because you believe in yourself, but there's never any. Also, there's not real. No. But it is real. And there's a sequence as well where Peter Stormair is like, you can't just, you have to look around and stuff. And then they're like, we better, we better do some research in this house. Let's open up some files and look at the files and videos and stuff.
Starting point is 02:47:03 Yeah. Like a video game. Like a guess. And then they're like, well, he's probably not in this house. He's probably in the sanatorium next door. Let's look at them. He's on the map. He's right there.
Starting point is 02:47:14 Let's set a waypoint on the map. Yeah, and we'll go visit him. Let's use our spook vision. Oh, there he is. and his underground maybe. His underground, I think, yeah. Yeah, that feels, that's also my least favorite stuff in video games where it's like, you found a dossier.
Starting point is 02:47:28 I don't care. And there's somebody telling me in a cutscene or over an earpiece, not reading that. Yeah. Oh, this is a secret. No, because I also know that no major secret is going to be revealed in a post-it note that I pick up in a video game. I don't give a shit.
Starting point is 02:47:42 Wow. Not stopping to read that. Not a moron. It's almost as bad as voice logs. Well, or better. I don't know. You know, when you pick up a voice log and it's like, I'll be doing an experiment, and it's very interesting.
Starting point is 02:47:53 And then the next one's like, the experiment's good out of hand. Day 15 of torturing the giant tentacle monster is going very well. I've come up with some great recipes out of it, and I think that it's, I mean, it's looking really mad, but fortunately, big shit of glass. Big sheet of glass is there, and it's been banging on the glass, but it's not going to get through the glass. I doubt it.
Starting point is 02:48:17 Yeah, I doubt it very much, so. I'm looking at it through. glass and I'm like it looks like it's going to wear itself out. Day 57 it got me. Squash it squashed me up with a tentacle. I realized it was hubris. I realized it was hubris.
Starting point is 02:48:33 I realized I was doing hubris this whole time. I only realized now though on day 57. Anyway, if you're fired this, be careful. Yeah. Hope this helps. Use your detective vision. Use a science vision. Yeah, he's in the business center or whatever. He's in the
Starting point is 02:48:48 science laboratory. The guy who did this. which is me maybe also. Remember it's got three protective tentacles and you have to shoot the three protective tentacles and then you'll expose its heart and then you can shoot its heart but then it'll grow three more protective tentacles and then... Yeah, and if you're running low on health
Starting point is 02:49:01 just duck behind a chest eye wall and then they should recover. Or he'll drop a health back out of his beak or something, I don't know. Alas I was not in a room with a chest high wall so I was killed. Video games! Video games!
Starting point is 02:49:16 Oh and at the end it's the house from... Is it? Apparently. Apparently it's... You see some footage. And it's a snowy location and apparently it's the, yeah, they have. Is Until Dawn the first game? Is it said in like the 90s or something?
Starting point is 02:49:29 I don't know, man. Yeah. You'd have to ask Rami Malik, award-winning actor Rami Malik. I'm just looking at... Get your big Frankie, Frank, Frank, what's the guy's name? Castle? No, Freddie Mercury. Get your big Freddie Mercury teeth out and answer me this damn question.
Starting point is 02:49:46 Rami Malik. Damn, Rami Malik. I don't know. I can't find when this is said. Same. Same. Same. You weren't even looking.
Starting point is 02:49:56 No. Yeah, great. Yeah, you know. Yeah, you know, yeah. That's all right. Yeah, it's all right. But I mean, look, I reckon, you know. Streaming.
Starting point is 02:50:05 Yeah, if your horror fan of pops up on something on the front page, don't go looking for it. No. But if it just appears, give it a whirl for five minutes. You might like the characters, you know? Oh, the prologue of the game is 2014. And then a year later. So it's one day. Great.
Starting point is 02:50:21 Great. I like David F. Sandberg. Me too. Should we meet me on a next segment? Yeah. What's it called? It's called movies are back. It's time for big-ish movie.
Starting point is 02:50:32 It's time for big-ish movie. The Smashing Machine. Big-ish man and big-ish movie. He's a big man. Emily Blaney's really good in this. I thought it was really going to be take the kids and my sisters. It was like that going to be. Yeah, I remember.
Starting point is 02:50:42 That kind of thing. I can't watch you hurt yourself or whatever. But it's not that kind of relationship at all. I don't, Mark, I don't, you. I can't live with you while you're trying to build this machine And then they are in a Mr Kerr I must say
Starting point is 02:50:59 This machine of yours, it's simply smashing It's not like that It is like that Oh it is like that Certainly the bank can't fund all of this This smashing machine of yours You're going to have to find another way to Pay for it
Starting point is 02:51:14 He works at he's the bank manager I think Oh is he okay Yeah that's good Well I guess I'll become the world's greatest mixed martial artist. Oh, well, that's a bali good idea, sir. A bali good idea indeed. I think...
Starting point is 02:51:27 You could take the name the swarthy foreigner. Wait, no. You could be the mysterious mountain man of the Orient. I mean, that's... Then he builds the machine. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:51:41 He becomes the world's greatest martial artist and he builds his machine, which is smashing. It's absolutely smashing. It's absolutely smashing. It's really good. You've got to see it by the end. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 02:51:49 I'm glad they included that. It's like a Mr. McGoriams Wonder Emporium-Imstile, Rupert Goldberg machine. It's not in the documentary, but it is in the movie. Yeah, yeah, because it's real. Smashing machine. Smashing machine. Smashing machine. Don't do too much smashing.
Starting point is 02:52:03 I can't watch you do another fight, the smashing machine. Well, I've got to do a fight for our future. But don't you see, you're killing yourself the smashing machine? Yeah, that's what I love about it. What? I think it's cool when my brains get smashed. What? Feels fun.
Starting point is 02:52:16 Can't you do some of the smashing instead of you being smashed? to the smashing machine. No, it's not in the name, is it? But you're so big. You're so big you could use your big muscles for smashing. Well, I want to be smashed until I'm little. I want to be smashed in the head, just smash down a bunch until I'm three feet tall.
Starting point is 02:52:32 And then I can fit through our doggy door. That's always been my dream. Wow. Smashing machine. Smashing machine. Tron Aries. It's time for Tron. Aries.
Starting point is 02:52:43 Big movie loading. Big movie. Beep burp burp, etc. Command prompt. Tron Ares. Good movie? I guess. There you go.
Starting point is 02:52:53 Also, to get it out of the way, Jared Leto is the star of this. Yeah. But also, there are hundreds of other people involved in making this. And they're all bad. They're all bad people. They're all worse, if anything. Some of them might vote.
Starting point is 02:53:05 Jared Leto said, I will only make this movie if everybody else making it is worse than me. Yeah, so by comparison, I look less of a creak. He's a real angel. Yeah, I'll talk about his performance and all of that. But I also want to acknowledge it, I said they would never bring the Tron Airy. his bike to Melbourne. And?
Starting point is 02:53:22 They have brought it to Melbourne. I've heard multiple people, including Joel Dusha. I should have gone to the premiere, I guess. The bike was there. I saw on Dave Lee's Instagram. Did anybody get to sit on the bike? People got to sit on the bike. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:53:32 Yeah, I don't know. I wouldn't sit on that bike. I don't know. Because of all the other people that sat on the bike. That and, you know, the guy who rides the bike. It's not his. Yeah, I know that, but I just don't want to, you know. Be associated with that.
Starting point is 02:53:43 Would you get on Jared Ledo's bicycle? Absolutely. Would you sit in a chair that he sat on? No. He'd have a penny fathering. He probably would have a penny farthing. They've done that light cycle penny farthing, surely. Surely.
Starting point is 02:53:55 Back in the old, that olden days or whatever, even before original Tron. Feels like a family guy gag. Yeah. Tron, but penny farthings. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I got stuck in a calculator. An apicus. I'm on a penny farthing.
Starting point is 02:54:09 Look out, Peter. Someone. Yeah, sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is all good stuff. What do you think the story was? Oh, all right. I didn't see this on an IMAX on Big Dolby or whatever, but it was still very effective along with the vision.
Starting point is 02:54:23 Big Dolby. You're in Big Dolby. You can't get out. We close the doors. Big Dolby is sitting next to you and you look over and he's there. He's man-spreading Big Dolby. Big Dolby would be. No. No. Spoilers. It's time for spoilers. The ending though, you know, Jared Leto gets his his trauma power so it becomes human and whatever. And then he gets tired and he gets so you can have blood and stuff. Yeah. Yeah, but he's real and permanent.
Starting point is 02:54:51 But is it permanent? Because you know, because you're a bloke. Oh, that's true. And being a bloke isn't permanent. It's only for a little bit, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. And then he gets to golf in the world on a cool motorcycle and then you chopped.
Starting point is 02:55:01 Then you chop, mate. But he gets to live in the world and he's looking for Sam Flynn and Olivia Wild. Lived, whatever character's name was. Mrs. Isso. Yeah, because there's pictures of them throughout this. And I'm like, oh, this is going to be the post credits or we're going to see them. If they make another one of these. In the near future, we'll say,
Starting point is 02:55:18 them. Yeah. But if it's another 10, 15 years, they might just do another vague reason. They'll be like, what happened to Jared Ledo's character? He died on the toilet. He died.
Starting point is 02:55:26 He was not prepared for having to use the toilet in the real world. No. So he just didn't use the toilet for a year. He did a poo standing up because he didn't know when he died. Just went right through him. It pierced his heart. That happens to regular people though. Don't do a poo standing up.
Starting point is 02:55:44 Okay? Yeah. It bounces back up. That's true. His heart. Like a spring, like a slinky Yeah, like a spring, yeah What are we talking about?
Starting point is 02:55:53 Oh, yeah, Tron Ares Yeah What else? So, you know, sometimes movies come out Also, Olivia Wilde's character's name was Quora Quora Quora I looked it up, like Quora

Starting point is 02:56:42 Show segment, I should say. It's called Hate Mow, but the Hate Has an Eight in it. where I take eight bits of hate mail from the YouTube channel comments. Oh, yes. It's not male. It's also not eight. It's always much more. So I collect these very slowly over time.
Starting point is 02:56:57 Oh, yes. If they appeal to me on a personal level, sometimes I think they're quite clever. Often it's from a stupid person. Yeah, sure. Or a person who's going through some personal issues. Yes. Oftentimes the hate mail is more about them than it is about us, I think.
Starting point is 02:57:11 And I think that's good. Yeah, I think that's good too. So we're going to start here, Mason. Go on. These are all related to the... The Rat Pack video we did on the Ocean's Eleven movie. The original Ocean's 11, okay. Which is a terrible movie.
Starting point is 02:57:24 The Frank Sinatra. It's boring and it's bad and it's not funny. Okay. And it looks like shit. Now, would you say these are recent comments? Some of them are. Okay. They're all this year.
Starting point is 02:57:33 Okay. Some more recent than others. But this is a relatively old video. Oh, yeah. This one's from Red Platinum who says, ah, of course, the guy who hates the monarchy also hates the rat pack. Damn. You must have a miserable life.
Starting point is 02:57:47 Absolutely. You're just in your room? I've seen you. Sometimes I come over. You're just in your room. You're like, I hate the bonnet kid. I hate the rat back, Mason.
Starting point is 02:57:55 I'm glad the queen died. And I'm glad Frank Sinatra died. I've never said that. I did say that about Frank Sinatra. You did say that, yeah. I'm not glad anybody died. I think everybody should be alive forever. Wow.
Starting point is 02:58:06 Except Frank Sinatra. I was going to say, yeah. Yeah. This one's from Forbidden City Crystal Internet 6201. What was? It's forbidden city to net 602-0 taken. Yeah. I think it was.
Starting point is 02:58:21 Wow. This is one of the most disingenuous and asinine takes on a movie I've ever heard. You two don't know your ass from a hole in the ground. I'm making sure the channel is never recommended again. Wow. In general or just to them specifically? Well, you've noticed how nobody's ever recommended it. That is true.
Starting point is 02:58:35 It is over. So they got you there. Dishingenuous. What do they mean? That felt very genuous. Do you think this person thinks that we really loved this movie? But the trend for the internet is you have to hate the rat. People are all talking about it.
Starting point is 02:58:52 You've got to hate Dean Martin and, I was going to say Joey Lawrence. That's not correct, isn't it? No. Some other guys in it. Rat pack. Whoever's in the rat. Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. He has a little dance with shooting guns.
Starting point is 02:59:05 That's the best part, actually. Now that's a different movie. That's Robin and the Seven Hoods. That might be Robin and the Seven Hoods. Oh, he's a garbage man in Ocean's 11. Yeah, maybe. They do a singing around a garbage bin That wasn't very good though, was it?
Starting point is 02:59:18 Joey Bishop There we go Joey Lawrence is a Disney Channel guy That's good too I agree Big Shot Bob 777 says Clickbait hate This movie is beloved
Starting point is 02:59:28 Also Is there more there to that guy? That's it Here's the thing His name is Big Shot 777 Yeah Big Shot Bob 777 Big Shot Bob 777
Starting point is 02:59:37 So he's like a casino guy Right Triple seven's right This is one of those guys He probably dresses like the rat pack. He's probably got a big boxy suit on. Yes. Fits awfully.
Starting point is 02:59:50 He's got his hands in his pockets and the suits all bunching up. You know, that look, that bad look. Dude, you're making a lot of assumptions about this man who knows what he's doing, all right? That's correct. Just calm down. This guy, I would love to know. We won't know. I actually don't care.
Starting point is 03:00:02 But I'm going to make an assumption that he's just on YouTube looking at every casino-based movie. Yeah, okay. And he's mad at people who don't like casino-based movies. This is a chabre. Berchak, who says, this channel reminds me of that practical joker show where the jokes laugh uproar, where the jokers laugh uproariously at their own shenanigans while everyone else shakes their heads and wonders why they're watching this. I know I was. Is that, is that the audience of the impractical jokers show?
Starting point is 03:00:31 I don't know. I've never seen it. Well, I've only seen, um, I've only seen the show people watching impractical jokers. Yeah. Which is where they, they show impractical jokers. and then it cuts back to the audience and they're all like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, this is the last wrapback one. Okay, great. From LW 1343 says, typical. Younger generation bashing the older one,
Starting point is 03:00:53 wait until 2035 and your Brad Pitt version is laughed at. It's like, it's not that far away. It's like 10 years old. Yeah, it's exactly. Also, I don't, do you care if people are like, this sucks? No, I like it. Ocean's 11 sucks, and you're an idiot. Also, the model one's way better.
Starting point is 03:01:08 It's way better. Didn't Clooney say that at the time? People were like, aren't you afraid people are going to say you're disrespecting the original? He's like, have you seen the original? It's bad. It's stupid. All right, let's get serious. Okay, let's start me get serious.
Starting point is 03:01:20 That was jokes, like the impractical jokers. This one's on our Superman review. Okay. Which I clipped and put on YouTube. Sorry, Fidel did. So this is his fault. This old boy 4-1-1 says, You guys are too woke, and this movie actually rocks and you're stupid.
Starting point is 03:01:35 Didn't we say it's good? You guys are too woke, and this movie actually rocks. and you're stupid. Also, the thumbnail is of Superman and the thumbnail says best ever. So I know where this came from. We've talked about this off air. Yeah. But a lot of the time when we don't, people can't infer our opinions if we don't straight up say.
Starting point is 03:01:58 When we talk about Alien Earth just moments ago, I said I loved it. Because if I didn't say I loved it, people would be, I know, partly I said that. Because if I didn't say, people were like, why didn't he like it as much as it? I did. I loved it. You can't just... Didn't we say it's a good... Superman's a good movie? I think we said it multiple times.
Starting point is 03:02:15 Yeah, sure, sure. And we'll stand by that. But we're too woke. And that thumbnail, let's say best ever. It did. But maybe they meant... Maybe they thought we meant best ever critique of this movie. Which of was also.
Starting point is 03:02:25 Yeah, I think so too. This is from WBFC-54. This is also on Superman. What utter nonsense! This movie was incredibly disappointing. Not a true Superman movie, really, which paints the Superman character is weak and constantly vulnerable. A rather shallow and dischointed story.
Starting point is 03:02:39 line, woke messaging, lame jokes, and watch with the dog all the time. If you're desperate to see this garbage, wait for cheap tickets, content collapsed. It's not really directed as us, but I just enjoyed it. Yeah. But they just say what utter nonsense. So are people mad we're too woke or not woke enough? We're too woke, aren't we? No, they're saying the movie, yeah.
Starting point is 03:02:58 The movie was too woke. Which means. But the first guy liked it because it was, because we're too woke. We're too woke. Yeah. Okay. I think we're trending too woke. We can, we can walk this line.
Starting point is 03:03:09 We just need to figure it out. Yeah, that's right. We've got to make the first guy. We can find a way to make the first and second guy happy. Hopefully there's not a third guy. God, I would hate that. Maybe this is in, this is from Hellwash here. I know, this is the third guy.
Starting point is 03:03:22 Who just says paid shields about Superman. That's so true. We wish. I would be. Write us a check. Yeah. Now this one, we're going to jump. We'd shield for you, buddy.
Starting point is 03:03:31 Yeah, exactly. You send us a check. Just any money. Yeah, yeah. This one's from MindSpark dash U6E. And this is on our Man of Steel Caravan the garbage. Okay, great. This is going to be good. Also, this is all italicized. How do you even do that? I don't know. Yeah. But he's done. I think what you have to do is you probably have to put it,
Starting point is 03:03:49 type it in a word document or whatever and then italicize and then copy your paste. Yeah. Which is a beautiful product you can purchase. Oh my God. Yes. Microsoft Word. Is that still a product you can buy? Dude. If you're on Teams, you're on Word. And if you've got a door, you've got a gym. That's so true. It's another thing I will endorse. Just doors. Doorways. Gyms. Oh. Door gyms. Okay. DC should sue these so-called critics and YouTube influences into oblivion. We're influences. Yeah. I didn't even watch Man.
Starting point is 03:04:17 They should sue us. I agree. I didn't watch Man of Steel until seven years later. Seven whole years. Because these self-reclaimed experts trashed it like it was the worst Superman movie ever made. And guess what? What? They're dead wrong.
Starting point is 03:04:31 When I finally watched it, it wasn't just good. It was phenomenal. It adept, character, meaning, and an undeniable sense of purpose that no other Superman film has ever come close to. The grounded realism and philosophical undertones were established within the first 10 minutes. Ten minutes! And I instantly knew I was witnessing a masterpiece. But thanks to these so-called critics, I missed out for years.
Starting point is 03:04:50 The issue is to direct these clowns into court because they're the real problem, destroying great films with their ignorant, agenda-driven garbage. So men have still came out in 2013. Yeah. And they didn't watch it for seven years. Apparently. When did our video come out? When did that video come out? That, I reckon around the time of Justice League?
Starting point is 03:05:08 So I reckon probably not our fault. I don't think so. No. Let me check. I mean, we should still go to court because this guy didn't watch a movie for seven years. 2020. So around the same time. I think, look, normally I'd let these people go, but I think, I think Buddy, you didn't watch this movie.
Starting point is 03:05:24 Yeah. And that's on you. Yeah. And you regret it. You regret not watching such a great movie for such a long time. And you've decided to blame us. And then bring in Warner Brothers to sue us. Exactly.
Starting point is 03:05:34 Which I don't think is fair. But I think the real answer here is your weak. your weak of mind and character and spirit. And even if we did say don't watch this movie, it's bad. You could have used your own brain and decided to watch it. Okay. And then you would have loved it, I guess, because it's the kind of movie you like and think is good.
Starting point is 03:05:52 Because if you're aforementioned weak brain and character and conscience, you know? Now, these next five are from the same guy. Okay, great. And he comments a lot. On just this video or every video? No, no, just in general. Okay.
Starting point is 03:06:07 Been around for a while. Okay. He's dipping in and out. Would you say he's attracted your attention? Yes. They sometimes these people, they think you can't see them. Okay. And often I don't.
Starting point is 03:06:17 But then you catch, you know, you catch wind or something. And you go, this is interesting. And then you maybe find out a little bit about this person. What other things they comment on? And you go, huh, that's interesting. Okay. So are these all comments on your videos? Are there some other?
Starting point is 03:06:29 These are, but there's one that's on another video. Okay, great. So this is Puzzle Borns 795 who says, my God, these clowns can't even criticize Prometheus, one of the most hated films ever made. How pathetic, laughing emoji, laughing emoji. Laughing, crying?
Starting point is 03:06:45 Laughing, crying, yes. Yeah, that's a good word. Yeah, once again, if somebody's using that, they're more mad than they've ever been in their life. Puzzleborn 795 then says on our fantastic four of you, the recent one, it's truly disgusting that you refuse to actually criticize movies. You clowns are why movies suck now.
Starting point is 03:07:01 When they say fine, they mean bad? No, I think fine. Fine is fine. Fine is fine. This one. says, this is on the sin... Sorry, this one's on our Fantastic Four, the one where we talk about other stuff.
Starting point is 03:07:11 You know where it's like, what other's going on in the universe? I can't remember which one it is. Okay. It says, it must be one heck of a slow newsday. Huh? Chumps?
Starting point is 03:07:20 Yeah, sometimes. Sometimes it is, yeah. This one, I want you to guess what movie it's from. Okay. This is easily the worst movie of 2025 by a mile. Sinners.
Starting point is 03:07:28 You freaking Shill's hand on face emoji. So what did you say? Sinners. Do you want have a second guess? No, I think it's... It is sinners. It is sinners. It is what I figured, yeah.
Starting point is 03:07:34 You might think that's just a coincidence. Do you think that? I think it's a coincidence, yes. This one is on our review, our Carabinet Garbage on Dean Cain's Lawison, and Clark. Oh, yes. He says, I say he. Yeah.
Starting point is 03:07:48 I don't know. I don't know. But it's a guy. Yep. And I know his name. Uh-huh. It wasn't hard to find. These chumps shill every new POS movie that comes out,
Starting point is 03:07:59 and then they sit here and trash talk the best Superman iteration ever. Delete U Channel. Nice. Also, I think we gave that a fair shot. Probably more than we should have. Especially considering recent events. We were like, let's not delve into Dean Kane's personal life or what or his opinions. Because he's stupid and who cares. Because his career got Kevin Sorboat.
Starting point is 03:08:23 And now he's joined ice or whatever. We were like, let's not get into it. But I think we were very complimentary about that. I thought we were, yeah. But again, we didn't say, we liked and thought it was. was good. Yeah. We're making lighthearted fun.
Starting point is 03:08:37 Anyway, you know, you go down a bit of a rabbit hole. Oh, yeah, sure, sure. And I found a comment that this person made a positive comment on Kanye West's new song, the one where he talks about Hitler. And he loves Hitler. That's great. It could just be a coincidence. It could be just a coincidence, I think.
Starting point is 03:08:51 Also, dude, if you're hearing this, you should cover your tracks a little better. It's all I'm saying. Right. Like, I don't think anybody should attack this person or, you know, whatever. But you can find his real name. But yeah, you should absolutely look into what you're doing. Okay, because you are visible. Just a heads up, all right?
Starting point is 03:09:09 Anyway, I got one more. All right. From some Sicilian 5420, this is on our Caravan of Garbage Iron Man reviews. Uh-huh. Says, didn't Elon Musk connect your entire continent with Starlink? And if you recall that in that video, this is the last one. If you call that Mason, we talk about Elon Musk and we're like, this guy sucks. And it was, some people say, ahead of its time.
Starting point is 03:09:28 Yeah. I mean, everybody knew then. I feel like enough people knew. But did he connect? Does that where? Our internet comes from, I don't know. I assumed it didn't. It's provided by the fine folks at Telstra.
Starting point is 03:09:39 That's right. Who also have paired with Starlink. Have they? Yeah. Well, it's also provided by the fine folks at Optus. It's where I get my internet. Optus. And I'll take that big check.
Starting point is 03:09:48 Thank you, Optus. Look, I will say our internet is bad. It is, absolutely. But it's certainly not better. He hasn't made it better. I know that. I am always fascinated by what, I was going to say other nations,
Starting point is 03:10:01 but I'm always fascinated about what Americans think is happening in Australia. Yeah. You don't know. You don't know because you're watching strange channels that are telling you weird lines. Yeah, exactly. I don't understand. That we're all getting hung in the street for getting a vaccine or not getting a vaccine
Starting point is 03:10:18 or whatever we did or didn't do. I mean, I have friends who think that. Remember when we all went to vaccine prison? We did. We were putting those camps for not getting a vaccine. I was one of the guards. That's great. Yeah.
Starting point is 03:10:29 I volunteered. Yeah, that's terrific. Yeah. Now we can't even get on the internet. I can't even grow and vegetables or get on the internet or not get a vaccine. They took it away. Anyway, that's hate now, but the hate has an aid in it.
Starting point is 03:10:41 I loved it. Me too. What a great segment. I think so, too. Let's not do it every week. Okay. Yeah. But we'll do our next segment.
Starting point is 03:10:48 That's what we read. Yep. What we're going to read? Whoa. We can just keep going on. Yeah, I think we can keep going. You put the thing in. Why are your callings?
Starting point is 03:10:55 Why are your callings? I'm doing a thing. I'm doing a thing. Long list? So, such a long list, James. Let's go. It's crazy how long this list is. Let's not do it go too long.
Starting point is 03:11:10 Okay, all right. Okay, well, first of all, here's a movie we both watched because we saw it in the cinema. It's a real pain. Oh, two cousins road trip. Two cousins road trip. So this is, and look, there was some, there was some, you took some convincing to watch this movie.
Starting point is 03:11:24 You know, I didn't. I'll have to be off my phone. I did not say that. So this is written and directed by Jesse Eisenberg, co-starring Jesse Eisenberg and Karen Culkin. Yeah. And it's a very sort of small movie about two cousins who go to Poland because they have a family connection there.
Starting point is 03:11:39 Yes. And they're sort of various, you know, their little adventure. Yeah. I enjoyed it a lot. I enjoyed it a lot too. I wouldn't say, don't expect a raucous comedy. No. But it is funny.
Starting point is 03:11:50 That's funny moments. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. It's just a nice watch. Don't expect any kind of American pie. No. Don't expect anybody to be like, oh, I've super glued myself wankered. Exactly.
Starting point is 03:12:01 Oh, oh, we got, oh, you know, I've got a case of semen, a horse semen. I have to drink it all. Don't expect that. Don't expect that. Is that what you were expecting? If you expect that they've accidentally switched briefcases on the train. Is that why you didn't want to be on the phone? Is that why you didn't want to be on the phone?
Starting point is 03:12:26 I didn't want to miss the sequence where they accidentally switched briefcases with a horse semen salesman on the train. You know. Yeah. You know. They open it up. Exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What the hell?
Starting point is 03:12:36 Did we all this? What's this? somebody's family album of precious memories, but I'm supposed to sell this horse semen, this conference. Where's my briefcase of horse semen? Yep. You know?
Starting point is 03:12:48 Kira Colkin's got it. Yeah. Oh no. What are we doing? I don't know. It's a bad year. Oh, thus far it's been a bad year for movies. Yeah, that's something that we both watched
Starting point is 03:13:00 and thought was okay. But now you're telling me that you read something else. I didn't read something. So at your recommendation, I finally caved, And I watched several episodes of The Rookie on Netflix. Uh-oh. And let me tell you, Mason, go on. That rookie, he's always getting up to stuff.
Starting point is 03:13:17 Did you really watch episodes of the rookie? How many episodes of The Rookie did you watch? Eight. Season one? I don't know how many there are, but eight or nine, maybe 12. I don't know. Episodes of The Rookie. They kind of blend together.
Starting point is 03:13:28 Are you doing a bit, James, right now? Not a bit. Wow. I watched it. It's like massive copaganda, obviously. Right. You know, it's, you know, it's, uh, yeah, it's... Is it a serious show?
Starting point is 03:13:38 Is it a... Yeah, it fluctuates. It's mostly serious. Did you watch Castle? No. The series before. I don't think it's as wacky as castle because every now and then they shoot somebody
Starting point is 03:13:48 and they feel bad about it. Oh, okay, right. Okay, sure. Or whatever. You know, they'll be in a situation. They're like, this person, what a wacky scenario. And then it's like, actually, that person's got a knife. And then it becomes a chase.
Starting point is 03:14:00 But he's a rookie, but I know you know this. I don't know anything about it. But he's 40. I'm learning about it. And he's like, my whole life got uprooted. That's too late to do. I agree. And he decides to become a cop and, but also he's the best.
Starting point is 03:14:14 So like, he's just naturally good at being a rookie. He's really good at everything. So. What was he before he was the rookie? He was this. I mean, I know you know this. I don't know anything. He was, he was like in construction.
Starting point is 03:14:26 He was. Oh, when he was good at that. He was good at that also. Okay. But why did he stop doing construction? Because he had a divorce. He had one. And then, maybe this is why I love this show so much, Mason.
Starting point is 03:14:36 I'm like, I could be a cop. I'm 40. Absolutely. Yeah. And so yeah, he uproots his whole life and he becomes the best cop in the world. That's really good. He knows all the techniques and every now and then they're like, you did that, you chase that guy down and that's cool, but you did it slightly wrong.
Starting point is 03:14:54 And he's like, I'll do better. I'm the rookie. And sometimes when he doesn't do something right, it's normally in a wacky situation. Like it's a wacky thing that he doesn't get right. People are watching this. I'm watching it all the time, man. They're checking it out. Let me ask you this.
Starting point is 03:15:07 Is it because every episode's basically. the same. Okay, right. It's the familiarity. You just got to hook them with the first episode. And again, like, because a lot of stuff kind of happens each episode, and they flow in and out of different storylines, and it's all interconnected. Yeah.
Starting point is 03:15:19 I often don't know where, what episode I'm in. Like, it's just floated to the next one and I'm editing or doing whatever. Right. And I didn't know. So you're half watching this. Yeah, yeah. It's a great half watch show. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 03:15:30 And so you just, it's just like the ocean, man. Look, my half watch show for a while was Magnum P.I., the remake, which I quite enjoyed. Did you finish it? No. I mean, you can start a rewatch of the rookie. I can start it again from the start. I wouldn't really make any difference. The rookie?
Starting point is 03:15:44 No, Magnet B.I. Okay. What is his estranged daughter status? Does he have an estranged daughter? No, he has a son. Interesting. But they have a fairly good relationship. He's at college.
Starting point is 03:15:56 Oh, fairly good relationship, son. Yeah. Interesting. And he's like, Dad, you're the rookie. I'm proud of you. But sometimes I worry that you're going to get stabbed or something. On account if you're a cop and you're the rookie. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 03:16:06 Don't worry, son. I'm good at everything. Yeah. It's good at everything. Due to my time being a construction worker, I'm good at disarming people with knives. Cool under pressure. That's right. And he's like, I love being a cop more than anything in the world.
Starting point is 03:16:17 And I'm like, good on you, the rookie. Good on you. Free George Floyd, the rookie, the show that started before that happened. And I'm interested to see if I get that far, how they're going to deal with that. Yeah, right. So, well, say, the rookie, highly recommend. Rocky rookie. Thank you so much for recommending that to me.
Starting point is 03:16:36 I didn't recommend it. You've made that up. I've never seen a single episode. Despite the fact that some weeks ago, I said I would start watching it to see. Let me check. I just never got around to it. I need to know how many episodes of the rookie I've watched. Oh, okay, right.
Starting point is 03:16:48 It's going to say, you're bringing up my Netflix. Okay. Hang on a sec. Where are we up to? I just got to mute the rookie. I don't want to get struck by the rookie police. Yeah. Oh, damn.
Starting point is 03:16:57 I'm on episode 12 of the rookie. I did not know that. Wow. Did I say five initially or something? You said eight, I think. Okay. Okay. I'm 12 episodes into the rookie.
Starting point is 03:17:07 12 episodes in. God. And is, is it a 22 episode season? Couldn't tell you, Mason. Okay, that's great. Couldn't tell you a goddamn thing. That's really great.
Starting point is 03:17:14 What don't you tell me? Because I don't know any about the rookie. I don't know why you started on this thing. I don't know what's happened. I'm more confused. I'm not mad. I'm just confused. I'm not mad.
Starting point is 03:17:24 As to why you. I'm not mad. I'm just. You seem mad. I don't even know why you've settled on this thing to become obsessed with. It's crazy. What you've done? That's normal.
Starting point is 03:17:35 What's the next segment of the show? The next segment of the show is. Letters. Okay, I reckon we could do that. Okay, let's, I'll do a Letters theme. I'll keep you update on The Rookie. Thanks. The classic one was...
Starting point is 03:17:43 Which are the best episodes? Which are the best episodes? Yeah. Well, you'd know. You could recommend to me. Would you just say that the pilot is a good episode? The pilot of the rookie? Yes.
Starting point is 03:17:56 Yeah, I mean, you know, it gives you the basis. Do they change a lot from the pilot to the regular series or are they pretty much sell? They're pretty much the same. Yeah, yeah. And he's having it off with one of the other. rookies. And it's like, how are we going to make this work when we're both cops? And it's like, cops will be rooting each other all the time, man. Don't even worry about it.
Starting point is 03:18:14 That's right. We're all cheating on each other and ruined each other. It's fine. It's fine. Seems fine. It seems fine. I do want to talk about the rookie, but I just need to find out. I can't remember what happened in the episode. I want to talk about. Well, I think that's the perfect jumping off point. James, now that we've talked about Reacher, a delightful series to watch when you're not watching a series, you are saying you have a rook date or a rookie. Or a rookie. update and you are trying to get this pulled out of the edit, but you were looking at your notes and you just said to me, you've been watching it, but you don't know what's been happening.
Starting point is 03:18:47 Yeah, I watched the episode. There was one of, there was very the rookie, just a series of things that happens to the rookie. Okay. You know the rookie. He's the best at everything. Like, it turns out that they're, I mean, I don't know that. You know that. You know that.
Starting point is 03:18:58 You remember this episode where the negotiator comes in to teach them negotiations. Okay. And they're like, what would you do in this situation is like, I would say, say and everyone's like trying to figure out what to say because the woman's got a dead man switch. It's a test. Okay, sure. And one goes to tackle her and she's like, you know, that would be dead or whatever.
Starting point is 03:19:17 And then he gets to him and he goes, I know how you feel. And she's like, go on. And it's like, wow, this guy's just incredible. He knows everything. And then he actually has to do it late. Hey, if you set off on, you know, some of the other guys are like, if you set off their bomb, I'll kill you. You sit off their suicide best.
Starting point is 03:19:34 I'll kill you, lady. So it's like that And then lady has to do a real like scenario And whatever And it's just hilarious And they're like, why you're so good at that? And he's like, I don't know I think it's because I used to be
Starting point is 03:19:46 Construction worker or whatever And I used to have to tell people That their kitchen being installed was late or whatever So I'm always like wheeling and dealing and whatever And they're like, you're the best for the rookie But you've also got a lot to learn But at the same time you know everything That's right
Starting point is 03:19:59 And that's why I love the rookie Check it out See the way you keep describing it It strikes me as kind of wow But you, I asked you directly, is this show wacky? And you're like, not really. No, kind of. That sort of kills the appeal.
Starting point is 03:20:11 Like when I think of Nathan Philly and anything. It is wacky until somebody inevitably is like, oh, they left their baby in the car and then whatever. And it's like, this is unacceptable even for me, the rookie. Yeah. How would you deal with that? You get your baby out of the car. I'll kill you.
Starting point is 03:20:26 No, no, no. What do you do? Well, I would say, I'd open the door. Have you thought about opening the door? Wow. That's a real interesting perspective. Yeah, but it really toes the line between. There was an episode I can't remember specifically,
Starting point is 03:20:40 but we were talking about it the other day. Where it's like... You can't remember any of the TV. No, but I wanted to talk about it. That's why I'm trying to find the synopsis. But it hits on every kind of like, like just middle America demographic. It's like it weaves in and out of the episode.
Starting point is 03:20:56 There's like there's drug use and don't do drugs. And then they met like a veteran and then they thank the troops and whatever. Yeah, yeah. This is a corrupt cop. And it's just everything that, like, you could possibly think that, like, a normie would. Oh, yeah, right. I say that, like, to be disparaging. You're watching it, though.
Starting point is 03:21:13 It sounds disparaging. Yeah, I'm watching it, exactly. And we're talking about it. We're talking about it. So. And that's the best promo this show can get, this wildly successful show that's been going for 10 years or whatever. Yeah. We're really pushing it into the stratosphere.
Starting point is 03:21:26 Also, I watched the gorge. Oh, did you? Yeah. How was that? Yeah. All right. Great. Yeah, maybe I'll watch it one time.
Starting point is 03:21:32 Here's an email from Jonathan. Jonathan. Thanks a lot, Mason. All the praise you've been giving about your favorite show of all time, The Rookie, finally convinced me to start having it on in the background. Hell yeah. I got into the second season before my fiancé started noticing it was on, but now she is too invested, so I'm no longer allowed to watch it without her.
Starting point is 03:21:48 So in that case, what should I watch now when I'm on my own? The Rookie. Oh, yeah? Just previous episodes? No, keep going. Wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then pretend like you're surprised when he does an incredible rookie thing.
Starting point is 03:22:00 Yeah. You know? I told you I was watching something. rotten the rookie. Yeah, I know. And the other day, I watched the episode. Because the joke became reality. Yeah.
Starting point is 03:22:07 There was never a joke. Let me ask you a question, James. Had you started watching the rookie before you began making jokes about the rookie? Let's say hypothetically that this is a joke, which it isn't. I had not started watching the rookie. Interesting. Yeah. So you, you broke your own brain.
Starting point is 03:22:22 Yeah, I guess it away. And also, you didn't tell me, but some of it is in like police body cam footage as well. I saw a clip of that because you were watching the rookie when I came in one time. And I like, is that body cam. He's the best of everything. But he only gets, he gets little things wrong every now and then. They're like,
Starting point is 03:22:38 you shouldn't have done that, the rookie. They had to do their rookie test to not become rookies. Yeah, right, right. Unfamiliar. One of them got a score of 80, which is a pass.
Starting point is 03:22:46 One got a 92 and one got like a 97 or 98. And they're like, you by the end of you three rookies need to figure out who got what? And who's like, Jonathan Nolan, who's the rookie. He's like, well, I would have the lowest score
Starting point is 03:22:55 because I'm a dumb ass. I'm the worst rookie in the world. So this guy didn't just tell them what they're. No, that's a wait the day. and figure it out. Anyway, he got the highest score because he's the best. Nice. There's also a moment where he needs...
Starting point is 03:23:07 Does they ever acknowledge that Jonathan Nolan is the same name? They've never said it. They've never said it. Okay. Every now and then he would just come across someone in Hollywood. Like the other day, he met a shark tank guy, Mark Cuban. I don't know. Every now and then, he's a fucking real famous person.
Starting point is 03:23:22 Okay, sure. But anyway, so there was an episode. This is classic The Rookie. There's a moment we had to identify somebody because something had to like sketch, he had to go to a sketch artist. And the artist drew the guide. He flips it around.
Starting point is 03:23:34 He goes, that doesn't look like I described. That looks like me. And he goes, the rookie goes, give it to me. I'm Jonathan Nolan. And he hands it over. And he just like sketches over the top of it. And he flips it around. He's like, I can draw on the draw.
Starting point is 03:23:45 Because it is, because of his history in construction. Yeah. Well, he's a draftman. He can draft up. Because he's currently doing a house renter as well in his spare time. Wow. Because he can just do everything. He sounds like a wonderful every man.
Starting point is 03:23:58 Did you know in the first season he got the police chief shot? No. Yeah, did you know that? That's great. Was the police chief corrupt or? Nope. There was a hostage situation. Was it for charity?
Starting point is 03:24:08 And look, he handled it. No, he had it as well as he could have. But obviously he's torn up about it. Yeah, of course he is. Also, in the first season he shoots somebody, like in the light of Judy and kills them. There's a bit of an investigation or whatever. But he had to do it.
Starting point is 03:24:20 Of course he is. It's a righteous killer. But they've also put him in a situation where he has to be in a lot of gun fights, but he can never kill anybody now because he already did it. Then he's a killer. Then he's Raylan Gibbons and justify. He's always. dropping people like flies.
Starting point is 03:24:33 So everybody around him is like, when it happened was like, even the veterans were like, I've never shot anybody. Like, that's unusual than this rookie. Because if he does it every season, if he doesn't, no. That's interesting because, you know, like such a staple of, you know, police shows and action shows or whatever,
Starting point is 03:24:51 Riecher, you're shooting people every week. Oh, yeah. Like, that's his default solution. Yeah. Any given episode, it's always like the noose is tightening around Ritcher, like he's pretending to be a bad guy and the other bad guys are like, maybe you're not such a bad guy or whatever.
Starting point is 03:25:03 You're going to get a pretty bloody big nuisance for that fella. Exactly. You're like a bloody ox. This guy's like, Richard, why did you do that? I'm suspicious of that and I've got the computer records to prove that you are. And then Richard just like drops the guy's head on like a big metal spike on a desk and kills him.
Starting point is 03:25:18 It's like his first reaction. And then he's like, oh, guess I've got to find a way to get rid of his body. Yeah. He does. Cool. Yeah.
Starting point is 03:25:26 What does he do with it? I think he called somebody. He eats it. Yeah, yeah. Protein. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He called somebody. somebody said, I've got a body here and I'm going to wait it.
Starting point is 03:25:34 Dad, I've got a body here. That's good, just how I taught you. Little Reacher. Well, he's little? Or does his dad still call him Little Riche even though he's bigger? We don't know because we haven't seen the day. Well, that's crazy. Because I think it would be something from a kid or maybe Reacher who's now big carries out with him.
Starting point is 03:25:51 He's like, I'm still a little man who's not. His dad needs to take it easy on him. Maybe his dad's way bigger than him. Maybe he is. We haven't seen him yet. Call him a little junior squirt shrimp man. You know? That's mean.
Starting point is 03:26:02 It is mean. Poor Richard. That's right. Well, speaking of books, I read a couple of books whileers away. One of them was called The Salt Path by Rainer Wyn, which also I just discovered is a movie with Gillian Anderson. Do you mean Gillian Anderson? No.
Starting point is 03:26:15 Interesting. Is Gillian Anderson related to Gillian Anderson anyway? I don't know if they're related, Mason. I couldn't speak to that. Is Gillian Anderson related to Gilligan's Island? Are you enjoying this? The TV series? I'm speaking.
Starting point is 03:26:26 Yes. Yes, I am. You just do this for a minute? Every time I do, yes. If you're ever thinking about asking that question, I do. It's about a couple who lose their home to a bad business deal with a friend. So he just rinses them for everything. This is a true story.
Starting point is 03:26:43 And also they find out that the husband has a terminal illness. And so because they are without a home and they've got nothing else to do or anywhere to stay, they do this coastal trek for man's at a time. Yeah. Well, yeah, except it's homelessness and the perils of. nature and relationships and family and death and it's incredible it's very good and i am going to go see the movie and yeah i it's when you said go see the movie like on your tv i'm gonna go see it on the no i'm gonna go see it's out oh it's out okay all right uh it's at the cinemas now it's after the
Starting point is 03:27:17 cinemas now so yeah i very much enjoyed it and also weird book to read on a beach in fiji yeah sure yeah yeah sipping a tropical drink yeah being like ah um better than than me that's right They're fine now. Okay, sure. That's great. Well, they've got a movie out. Yeah, that's right. With Gillian Anderson.
Starting point is 03:27:35 Gillian Anderson. Do you think she's related to Gillian Jacobs? Which is actually how she pronounces her name? Yes, Mason. I do think that. Wow. Yeah. You enjoy this still?
Starting point is 03:27:46 So you think they're related even though, because they share the same first name? But you asked me, which is. I'm asking you. Look, I'm my, I, Mason. It's nearly two in the morning for me. You won, all right? You got me. Thanks man
Starting point is 03:28:01 Feels good Feels good In a world Where the sun has disappeared And we still have to go to work I'm feeling a little bit down And everything's gone crazy But it's also boring
Starting point is 03:28:17 And we're in the children of man universe But the sun has gone out You might something you're like What's going on? Yeah And you can still have kids But you don't want to That's right
Starting point is 03:28:24 It's expensive Yeah it seems that way And everyone's brain is rotten From fucking I don't know everything. Yeah. Whatever else.
Starting point is 03:28:32 Anyway, it feels good to get you because you mispronounced a note. It feels really good. And I'll do it again. I know. I know. Let a segment. It's just fortunate that I never misspeak
Starting point is 03:28:45 or say anything wrong. Or if you do, I don't say anything. I just go, whatever. Well, that makes you the bigger man. But that's not important. That's not the currency we use in the world where the sun's gone out. And the world's ending.
Starting point is 03:28:57 And it's the afternoon, but it's also two in the morning. In this universe, the currency is... Writz and a bloke. That's exactly right. Ooh. And there's everything I've been saying. It's true, isn't it?
Starting point is 03:29:10 And we play that Superman game. It's a big sandwich if you wanted to see. James, is it time for letters? I'm telling you it's time for letters. I'm just looking at my watch. Okay. And my watch says, it's not sure. Okay.
Starting point is 03:29:22 And the watch runs the show. Huh. So what do you want to do? And you're not wearing a watch at all? Yeah. Is the watch in your mind? Sent me a text. It's a smart watch
Starting point is 03:29:30 No, it's a regular watch It's got hands It's a fossil Like hands like on a watch Or physical human hands In addition to its watch hands What are you talking about? What are you talking about?
Starting point is 03:29:43 James your flights of fancy Have gotten out of control I like to think I wish Austin Powers was still here And alive I mean there's still time maybe But I wish he was still here and alive To write this ship
Starting point is 03:29:55 I don't think he would I think a watch with hands Would make him horny I don't think it would be good for him. That's actually a really good point. But unfortunately, I can't know, because I can't know alternate timelines. I know everything about this timeline, which he is killed. He did die.
Starting point is 03:30:13 Yeah, he was killed in America. But he might be back next week. I mean, he might be. Maybe he's got a twin brother. Or maybe it's a past version of him. You know? We don't know. He's been in a time machine.
Starting point is 03:30:23 He did do in a time machine. Once you get in a time machine, all bets are off. In terms of whether a character will or not return. That's right. Anyway, let's do the letter segment. Maybe Austin Powers will be in it. Do you think? I don't think he will be.
Starting point is 03:30:41 James is in a classic prayer pose. It's true. He was praying for letters. And guess what? The good Lord has delivered. That's great. That's right. If you want to reach the show, you can send an email to weekly planner pot.
Starting point is 03:30:57 At gmail. Or we also have a. a Facebook group called the Planet Broadcasting Great Mates. That's right. If you head into there, there's a thread that goes up every week where you can ask a question or send a letter or whatever it is that you want to do. Some of them will be read out, but most of them won't. That's right.
Starting point is 03:31:14 Yeah. Some of them just lurk. Yep. They lurk in the Gmail. But they're good. Here's an email from Georgia. Georgia. It says old school pranks for old school boys.
Starting point is 03:31:22 Oh, here we go. Because we talked about pranks last week. We was talking about pranks. Yeah, yeah. Morning gang, one time I shortcheted my little brother's bed and he cried so much that I got in big trouble with their parents. So don't knock short sheeting until you've tried it. Also, now he's like six or three, so the joke's on him because he can barely fit in a bed. Another
Starting point is 03:31:38 prank I did when I was younger was inspired by the hit TV show Prank Patrol, where I filled my parents' wellie boots with ketchup. Unfortunately, no one put their foot in the ketchup because you can see and also smell the fact that your shoe was full of ketchup. I had to hose them all at before school and then was banned from eating ketchup for a month. What's a prank that you've done that actually worked? And or what's the most egregious example of a sibling relationship of media that was obviously written by an only child. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's very good.
Starting point is 03:32:05 I mean, when I was a kid. We've done some pranks. We will not disclose. Yeah, absolutely. With some, we can't. Some are ongoing. Yeah. And have been for 15 years.
Starting point is 03:32:13 Yeah. But yeah, I do things and I forget. I used to this thing when I was a teacher where, like, I'd go into the staff room and someone have like a bowl of pasta or soup. Uh-huh. And they'd look away. And you're pissing it. And if it was a, if it was a, I,
Starting point is 03:32:30 soup, I'd swap up for a fork. Oh, I see. Oh, and then they'd get up to get a spoon. And when they do that, I put the spoon back in. And then not tell anybody. Right. It's just for me. Yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 03:32:45 And then just watch this happen. And just they're confused. Yeah. Like, bewilderment, I think, is better than, oh, you got prank. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I remember once there was somebody who I worked with who, this is, these are nothing.
Starting point is 03:33:00 where like they were going to the bathroom and they left a cold glass of water just outside and they were going to get it on the way back. And so I went and I filled it up with hot water and I just put it back. Is that anything? Didn't see the result. Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. Yeah.
Starting point is 03:33:12 Doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. I mean, sure, they might have been deathily allergic to whole water. Yeah. Sure, maybe. Maybe they're dead now. Yeah. You know?
Starting point is 03:33:19 I used to do one of the things I used to volunteer this before I was a teacher and I'd go away with kids on camps or whatever in the holidays. Yeah, yeah. You know, and you do activities and games or whatever. I remember there was one time there was a great. guy there and I just didn't really like him. So I just hid his mattress. I just took it and I just hit it.
Starting point is 03:33:36 And he had to sleep on like a wire frame. Interesting. And I was also like, why don't you just sleep on the floor? Whatever. But I was like, I also didn't know him. It's more about him than it does. Yeah, I didn't even know him that well. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 03:33:48 So he didn't even come to me and be like, why did you do that? Because like, why would he think that I would do that? Yeah. What kind of psychopath would do that? And anyway, in the last hour, I put it back. Okay, right. So I was going to ask, where is the mattress now, but it's back. I put it back.
Starting point is 03:34:00 And so, yeah, he would have. Also, he could have got a mattress from another room. I just thought it was, like, the way he handled it was just like, what are you doing, man? Yeah. Yeah. Really shows how much of a problem solver someone is. I've also done more complex things, but I can't think of any off the top of my head.
Starting point is 03:34:15 What are you doing? What are you up to? I don't know. A lot of mine are actual crimes. Yeah. Can't talk about them. Yeah? I don't know.
Starting point is 03:34:22 I've ever been a prank. Yeah. Those are all fun, though. One time I, this is a nicer prank when I was a teacher also. So I had this, like an ongoing class competition. It was called fish points. And if we got enough points, fish points, then we'd get fish. Okay.
Starting point is 03:34:36 And so I timed it out so they would get enough fish points at the end of this certain week at the end of the day. And they went, now it's, you know, I was a fish. And I opened the cupboard and there was a fish bowl. And there was a fish and I went, here you go. Nice. And they're like, oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 03:34:53 Because they're in their 20s. Yeah, yeah. And I'm like, he's been in there for like six months. Just did the dive. Which wasn't true. No. One time, they were like,
Starting point is 03:35:02 we demand a Christmas tree for a room, so I got the shittiest smallest Christmas tree you could possibly imagine. I was like, there you go. I don't think I was a bad teacher actually. Maybe.
Starting point is 03:35:11 Yeah. Maybe. Yeah. I don't know. These are all really sad. No. They're fine. And they're like,
Starting point is 03:35:19 again, I think they're a better prank. It's a better class of prank. It's a better class of prank. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. You know.
Starting point is 03:35:25 Embarrassing somebody. It's like prank compilation. and it's just buying a drink at McDonald's and throw it in their face or whatever, that's actually not cool. That's not cool at all. Yeah. Sometimes you'll see that
Starting point is 03:35:35 and then like the person working behind the drive-thru in the McDonald's would come out with a hammer or something and I'm like, yeah, good. That's a prank. That's a prank, all right. And then just smash the guy's winscreen. You get your head pranked in. That's right.
Starting point is 03:35:48 Yeah. My goodness. My goodness indeed. Stephen Dudley has also said, what do you come? I'm Stephen Dudley. I went to high school with a Stephen Dudley. Did you?
Starting point is 03:35:56 Is this him? Is this him? H or a V? Ah, pH. That's him. Is it? Might be. Does he listen to this?
Starting point is 03:36:02 I don't believe you. You don't believe me? I don't believe you. I don't believe you. I don't believe you, man. He said, what do you count of breakfast foods? Consider eating damn eggs is a bit tricky. This economy, so true.
Starting point is 03:36:15 Mason, what about you? I have to get up really early tomorrow and I didn't get any cereal. There's no cereal in my house. Dude, get some cereal on the way home. She should get some cereal on the way home. What do you mean by really early, by the way, I tell everybody? I have to wake up at 6. This is not early for a lot of people
Starting point is 03:36:28 That's what time I go to the gym It's astoundingly early for me No man I'm going to the gym I'm in there people are like You're amazing Send me a text from the gym then Send me a gym selfie I'm not going on a Sunday
Starting point is 03:36:38 Yeah that's what I'm saying It's early for a Sunday We're recording on Saturday That's right everybody surprise Breakfast I mean if it's if I'm at home Yeah cereal or some porridge Might have a bit of porridge Okay that's great
Starting point is 03:36:50 Or a crompet This guy definitely didn't go to school with you He's way too young For sure yeah Unless that's an old photo. Good, babe. You said he's going to give me $15,000 this dude.
Starting point is 03:37:00 Well, that sounds like my generation. Crumpets, James. How do you feel about crumpets? Love them. Love crumpets. Really good. Crumpet or a muffin. I'll do crumpet over a muffin.
Starting point is 03:37:08 Yeah, same. But muffins are more versatile. You can do more with a muffin. Yeah, but crumpets are exceptional. But if I'm going to a cafe or something. Yeah. Square muffets or circular? Probably square.
Starting point is 03:37:19 Also, crumpet, you give a vegamette. It's still good. That's true. It does it all. Yeah. Okay, I'm doing overnight oats. Yeah, we know. Do you want to know what it is?
Starting point is 03:37:28 No, because you've explained it so many times. I've actually explained the recipe, though. Yes. I don't think I have. Yeah. Like quantities? Yeah, you said you put in poo and spit and... No, that's what I put in the toilet.
Starting point is 03:37:38 Leaves. And you leave it overnight. You leave your leaves? Fine, I won't. You don't want to know? Fine, I won't do it. I don't care. This isn't even for you.
Starting point is 03:37:46 Other people would have been interested. Did you invent this or do you just Google overnight oats and that's the first thing? No, I've got a very specific recipe for something to go overnight. Okay. Okay. Here we fucking go, Mason. Here's what you go. Do let me bring it up.
Starting point is 03:37:59 I make four at a time. Okay, all right. They last a week. Okay. Well, they last four days. And sometimes someone comes around and they'll eat my overnight oats. And I'm like, I'll go out of the night oats. And I go in there.
Starting point is 03:38:10 No overnight oats? And guess what? I'm down. No overnight oats? Yeah. Wow. That's actually, wow. Agreed.
Starting point is 03:38:17 Where is this goddamn thing? Look, I'll do off the top of my head. So it's about... Weird for a thing you do four days a week. I know. It's half a cup of oats. rolled oats. Don't get anything that's already cooked. Like, it's got to be like... What about unrolled oats? No, they have to be rolled big time, right? You can either do two
Starting point is 03:38:33 tablespoons of chia seeds. This guy's in the pocket of big rolled oats. I'm not. Two chia seeds. Table spoons off. Listen, pay attention. I won't. Or two tablespoons of, uh, sliced like slivered almonds. Okay. It's pronounced almonds, but all right. In the recipe I started with, they were like two tablespoons of protein powder, but I put a whole scoop in. Wow. Vanilla protein powder. But it's a tiny No, I need it. Okay. Use your cocaine spoon. Yeah.
Starting point is 03:38:57 Another addition of mine is creotene, just a scoop of creatine, which is really good for you. You should do creatine, Mason. Everyone's doing it. Everyone's talking about it. Everyone's doing it. Wow. It's not even that late at night, folks. I do.
Starting point is 03:39:11 I did have a big night. One tablespoon of dark chocolate chips. Okay. What else have I got in there, Mason? Remind me. About... Leaves? Poop.
Starting point is 03:39:25 I think it's about... half a cup of skim milk and then four tablespoons of, no, three tablespoons of heaped of plain yogurt, a bit of almond, what's it called? Does that almond extract? What's that stuff called? Armine extract. Yeah, you know, like the liquid or whatever. Extracted, it's squished almonds.
Starting point is 03:39:40 A bit of sweeten up. I think that's everything in there. I think that's right. Anyway, it's very good. It's filling. It's like, wow, this is great. And it's, you know, it's there. And if you show up at James's house, we'll give you one.
Starting point is 03:39:49 Well, absolutely will not because sometimes I don't have any. Interesting. And then also, I like, put in the container and it's got the spoon attached to it. So I'm in there and I'm like, ready to go. What if you made it same diodes? No, it has to have at least a couple hours in the fridge. And if I'm up in the morning, like I have to eat it. Like I'm not going to eat it and then wait.
Starting point is 03:40:07 I'll have eggs or something else. I'll do like peanut butter and banana on toast or something like that. Yeah, okay. No one cares about this. Nobody cares about this. Wow. Mason, wow, wow, wow. What's next?
Starting point is 03:40:19 I mean, don't get me started on brunch. I'm a brunch guy. Are you? Yeah. Why would I not get you started on that, though? what do you think would happen? I'd get mad. But I'm not eating brunch right now
Starting point is 03:40:28 and I'd kill you. What's your favorite brunch? Nobody asked that. What's your, I'm asking you. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No. A listener has to ask.
Starting point is 03:40:37 Okay, somebody right in. He's not, oh, fucking hell. Bearing your mind, if you do, I'll kill James. Not a joke. Just, I do it though. Because this letter will get me started.
Starting point is 03:40:48 Yeah. And then it ends in murder. Do it, no. All right, man. All right, Mason. What's next? Yeah. You got a big.
Starting point is 03:40:55 deal happening? Do I? Do I? Do I? You want to reach the show. It's simple. It's as simple as this. You send an email. Simple as chips. So, uh, Mason, do you want to start? Or would you like me, Mr. Sunday movies? I'll do it. I'll do it. Created of this podcast to start. I mean, allegedly. Whose idea it was to start a podcast. Who can even prove it? Here's an email from typo. Go-Go.
Starting point is 03:41:17 What? Subject line. I think he looks tired. Who? James, Mr. Sunday movies seems tired. No, I don't. I feel good. Uh, he's not. He's an email from Taylor. says James is tired. No. I agree, yes, James does look tired. I don't look tired. Thanks for the pod fella's been listening to you since 2018.
Starting point is 03:41:32 Always gives me something to look forward to on a Monday. Thanks for the content. I don't look tired. Well, Philip has emailed then to say James looks tired. When? And then the body of the email just says he does. So, I mean, it's just, isn't it weird? I mean, just all these people spontaneously.
Starting point is 03:41:48 Did these people see me? I mean, it doesn't say, but I can only assume so. Why would they lie? Yeah. It's weird that all these people are spontaneously just, emailing to say that you look tired. You got any more? I've got to say I would agree with them.
Starting point is 03:42:00 I don't think I do look tired. Hmm. I think I'm always just running around. Okay. So you look... So you look like a... Fit. You look fit.
Starting point is 03:42:12 Puffed out. Puffed out. Okay. You look puffed out. Like a puffer fish. Wow. Oh, they... Yep.
Starting point is 03:42:19 Yeah. What else, Mason? Uh, great. Do you want me? I'll do another one. That was it? I'll do another one. All right and good
Starting point is 03:42:26 Yeah Got another one Mason Isn't Amar Boy you're really getting a kicking This week I shouldn't be This is from Kenny I'm actually a nice person
Starting point is 03:42:32 This is from Kenny And people who say They're nice people they are And it says It says James's terrible recipe You did it wrong You got the quantities You don't even know what this is yet
Starting point is 03:42:43 I know exactly what this is Yeah What is it do you think It's the slow oats Wrong It's a pizza No It's a different terrible
Starting point is 03:42:50 This book Hello gents Hello gents Man whose wife calls you guys Train of Train trash here. With James giving out culinary advice, I thought I would share this story from days of old.
Starting point is 03:43:01 I've been with you since the beginning. I started listening at your third podcast. Close. Way back then, James dropped his first culinary gem, flourless pancakes. My wife loves to cook and bake, and I wanted to get her into your podcast, so I copied down the recipe and gave it to her.
Starting point is 03:43:17 She was excited for the new recipe and tried it later that week. It was terrible. It didn't work at all, and was a huge flop in my house. James made for himself, a new enemy that day and my wife has never really listened to you guys since. Fast forward to his recent oatmeal recipe, I told my wife about it.
Starting point is 03:43:32 She just looked at me and stated that she didn't want any more of that guy's bad recipes. Mason, maybe if you have any recipes, I can get her to try yours. Keep up the good work but don't go into cookies. Okay, to be fair. They didn't drive a second one. So you can't be like, that's a bad recipe, right? I don't even remember. that first one.
Starting point is 03:43:55 Flourless pan. Seems like a joke. You probably used it an almond meal. I don't remember. I'm telling you, you did it wrong. Flowerless pancakes. Did you recommend just putting flour and water in a pan and mixing up? No, that's not flowerless.
Starting point is 03:44:10 Yeah, I know, right. Well. What? So not every recipe you cook is that you're going to like either. That's true. You know? I'm on your side. Thanks, Matt.
Starting point is 03:44:21 I mean, if you were, you wouldn't have read that out. I had to for content. Mason, I got one from Xander, who says, when's the last time you left an event, party or function early? And how did you excuse yourself from the venue? I just go.
Starting point is 03:44:35 Yeah, I just go off. I'm off. And they go, no, I just go stuff on in the morning or now. I'm going. I mean, you have to leave eventually. Otherwise, we'd still be at that event. But we're saying early. Zander's saying early.
Starting point is 03:44:47 Yeah. Normally, I mean, you can't mean, if you are leaving early, you hit him with, I got a head off at whatever, because I have, et cetera. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't really ghost anymore because I'm not coward. You're going to say I don't really go anywhere. I know, that's true also.
Starting point is 03:44:58 But also, I'm brave. And I tell people I don't want to be there. That's right, yeah. But you tell them when you arrive. Correct. You're like, I'm going to set the tone here. I don't want to be here. Hey man, straight up.
Starting point is 03:45:08 This sucks. You suck. That's right. But I hope you have a wonderful rest of your life with your beautiful wife. Don't even mean that. Just so you don't. I'm lying to you. But I'm going to drink the bar dry.
Starting point is 03:45:20 And then I'm going to leave early. I'm going to swipe a little. bottle on the way out. Dude, you've got to love it. Yeah. I don't know. I'm more inclined to just stay forever. Really?
Starting point is 03:45:29 I just settle in a chair and just be like, yeah, this is... And just absorb. Just absorb. The energies of the people around you. That's correct, yes. Cool. What's that like? It's great.
Starting point is 03:45:37 Likewise, he's still here. I'm absorbing your energies. I'm absorbing those energies. I'm absorbing them. Exorbing them. I'm absorbing you. I'm absorbing you. God.
Starting point is 03:45:48 Yeah. I don't know you're Greek. Well, there you go. Absor. It's the joke. I'm David. Mason, stop. Stop.
Starting point is 03:46:02 It's a good bit that you're doing. Guaranteed laugh and hits. Well, if it goes well, then it was my bit, yes. It goes poorly, I'm going to reveal that it was you the whole time. Mason, stop. Yeah. That's terrific. Yeah.
Starting point is 03:46:19 This is from Jacob. F1 movie for an F1 fan. Okay. Hi, James and James. Hello. Sorry, I'm a week late on this one. Well, now you're two weeks like. Yeah, come on, mate.
Starting point is 03:46:27 I didn't read this in time. But I just thought I'd throw in my two cents about the F1 movie from the perspective of an F1 fan. It is the most horrific advertisement for the sport they could possibly have made. Every part of it was completely unrealistic. There is no magic upgrade that changes your car
Starting point is 03:46:41 from being the worst to the best overnight and Brad Pitt's character definitely isn't qualified to be calling any of the shots he makes in the movie. Also, the race where his amazing strategy is to crash into everyone to help his teammate is a serious rule breach. It'll be considered race fixing.
Starting point is 03:46:55 It had been disqualified from the race for certain and possibly even banned from the sport. Love the show. Keep up the good work from Jake. I think that's true. That being said, though, it did make me want to watch some F1. I haven't subsequently, but I could. Because you've already forgotten.
Starting point is 03:47:10 I've already forgotten. Well, I was speaking to a guy who actually used to work, he used to specifically work on tires for F1. The Michelin Man. Yeah, the Michelin Man. Uh-huh. Hello. That's not how he talks.
Starting point is 03:47:22 Hello. That's right. Gidey, James. I haven't seen you in a long time. Hello, I just have a quick question. Go ahead. This is a recording, by the way. What did you think of the F1 movie?
Starting point is 03:47:33 Yes, good. Yeah, that's what he said. So that's basically he enjoyed all of it. And I said, boy, there's a lot of tire changing it. And he went, absolutely. I've been up to a lot of stuff. You're interested. You want to have a chat about my life?
Starting point is 03:47:44 You know I don't. Oh, I've been to a lot of nice restaurants. Why? I'm the Michelin man guy. Oh, do you judge the... Yes. Do you know Austin Pells? Yes.
Starting point is 03:47:55 And I like the two of you to do. together. I don't know what that would look like, but I don't like it. You'll find out. I hope I don't. He's dead. What? What? Yeah. Oh, no. And I've been here giving stars to restaurants. That's right. It is your fault.
Starting point is 03:48:13 I should have spent time with my good friend Austin Powers. He's also on the Epstein tapes. I'm sorry. Oh, no. I don't know why I'm not one to tell you this, but it's just what happens. This is just a lot to take in. Yeah, imagine it is. Anyway, I'm going, for real. I don't like this.
Starting point is 03:48:30 Okay, bye. Bye. You know, I've got an extra seat at a French bistro. At a Michelin. Do you? Then put your legs up. Just put your feet up, mate. Oh, that's a great idea.
Starting point is 03:48:41 Yeah. I'm really going, though. Okay, bye. Yep. Wow. Anyway, I'm glad I recorded that. That you're with your former friend of Michelin Man. We were never friends.
Starting point is 03:48:51 Okay. But anyway, you also spoke to a friend of yours who is very familiar with F1 Racing, were you saying? Did something with ties? Yeah. Okay. But it's the story for another day. They said it was good.
Starting point is 03:49:07 I mean, whatever it is, can't compare to your, you know, your friendship with the Michelin Man. Yeah, that's probably true. Not a friendship. All right, Mason, that's good stuff. Shut up, homerads. Got one here. Shut up, Omarads. Let's do some life advice.
Starting point is 03:49:18 You ready for that? Oh, yeah, I'm ready. New segment, life advice from people, but don't listen to us. Okay. Bearing in mind, I am currently holding a giant can of monster energy juice. Juice. Juice. Is it carbonated?
Starting point is 03:49:29 No. All right. Yeah, it's got juice in it. Darren Leslie Jr. says, best piece of advice for going into your 30s. Stretch. Yep. Don't forget to stretch. Okay, that's it?
Starting point is 03:49:39 Cardio? Cardio, sure. Mates. Mates. Go out. Go out. Stop using chat, J.P. Yep.
Starting point is 03:49:47 Stay in. Remember to think a thing. Yeah. Don't forget to think a thing. Have an opinion. Have an opinion. Go to a sunset. Go to...
Starting point is 03:49:53 Look at a hose. Look at a hose. Is the hose going or not? It doesn't matter. in your mind. Driving a back seat of a car. What? How?
Starting point is 03:50:02 With a stick? Yeah. Stick and a Rick? Yeah. Wow. I would say if I do exercise, probably some weight training specifically because it helps your bones not break down completely and it can help with injuries and recovery. But also stretch?
Starting point is 03:50:17 Yes. Probably do therapy if you need it or even if you don't, I would say. Give it a whirl. I feel like, because I do therapy and I feel very self-indulgent just to be like, this is my feelings or whatever. That's how you open up with it. Your therapist is like, you got any feelings today, James?
Starting point is 03:50:34 Well, hey, wait a second, you're making fun of me. I'm making fun of you. Thank you for being my therapist. No problem. But I read this thing, I think it was just on Instagram where you don't also. Therapy's not for you. It's for the people around you also.
Starting point is 03:50:51 So it feels left self-indulgent where I'm like, well, if I'm all right, I'm not going to throw one of my kids through a wall. That's true. Yeah. Which I wouldn't do, Mason. No, that's right. Yeah.
Starting point is 03:51:00 Even though they throw you through a war, very regularly. So many times. Yeah. And also, if you hate your job, do the bare minimum. That's true. Yeah. That is true. That, you know, they'll replace you.
Starting point is 03:51:08 As soon as you quit, they'll just replace you. They'll replace you. Yeah. You're not getting a gold watch these days. Yeah, but make it look like you busy. Yeah. Always carry two sacks. Yeah.
Starting point is 03:51:16 Doesn't matter what your job is, carry two sacks. And when they like, hey, can you help me with this? You can't. I got these sacks. Dude, are you serious? Yeah, look at this. I'm the sax man over here. Skip it.
Starting point is 03:51:26 I'm the sax man. I'm the sax man. Exactly. So there's some advice, but also take or leave any of that. Correct. If you can interpret any of it of what we said. Don't forget to socialise and stop using chatchev.
Starting point is 03:51:40 Absolutely, yeah. Get off your phone where you're driving. Yeah, oh, you've experienced a lot of that, don't you? All the time. And everybody's so bewildered when they've crashed their car. And they're like, I don't know, whatever. You're on your phone.
Starting point is 03:51:50 You're on your phone for three minutes. Yeah, that's right. It's not worth it. When you were outside your car, it's on the side of the road, and the whole front end's dinted in. You're like, oh, because I, well, at least I saw that TikTok. Yeah. Nah, don't worry about it.
Starting point is 03:52:02 I mean, it must have been good. Yeah, it's probably great. This is from Scott Sullivan, who says, Oh, full name. We're doxing now, are we? Yeah. Okay. He put it there.
Starting point is 03:52:12 That's a good point. And his address, read it out. It's my address. Oh, he's good. This guy's good. He's covered every angle. What are your top three condiments? don't use them, don't believe in them.
Starting point is 03:52:24 What the fuck are you saying? Is that true? No, I'm just kidding. God, that's cruel. I was doing a fun player words, James. I was doing a very joke there. That's good fun. That's fun too.
Starting point is 03:52:34 Yeah, I thought you were. I mean, that's fine. It feels better without him, you know. Yeah, man. I do know what you made. We're going to go. We do, actually. We got to go.
Starting point is 03:52:48 Oh my goodness, Mason. Have you got another letter? I hope so. I've got so many letters, James. This is from Jack. Hello, lads. That's us. Jack here from England.
Starting point is 03:52:55 Oh, Jack? Both me and my girlfriend are massive fans of yours and have been for some time. It's a good start. Let me just say, I should bloody hope so. Yeah. Pull your socks up, if you're not. You're not a huge fan of us. Pull your socks up.
Starting point is 03:53:07 However, your recent review of the Mummy 2017 has caused some arguments. You see, I love the Tom Cruise Mummy movie more than the Brendan Fraser one. You're wrong. I'm that guy who has to explain which Mummy is my favourite. Anyway, please settle our argument. I think Tom Cruise is sexy than Brendan Fraser and my girlfriend disagrees. You're out of your fucking mind. Please can you boys sort this out
Starting point is 03:53:27 and make the final decision? Yeah, you've already said it, James. Brennan Frasian now is still sexier than Tom Cruise is. Tom Cruise is without sex. Agreed. Yeah. I think we all agree out here. He's in the basket.
Starting point is 03:53:40 Yeah, that's right. He's in the basket with some other people. I don't want to keep talking about him. Also, what are you doing? Even if you look at the characters... What did you think we'd side with you? What did you even bring this to us? I'm even willing.
Starting point is 03:53:55 willing to go, if you take 1999 Brennan Fraser and then pick whatever era of Tom Cruise you think is sexiest yeah, Brendan Fraser is still sexier.
Starting point is 03:54:03 And the heads and shoulders, ease and toes above Tom Cruise. Yeah. Yeah. It's not even a height thing. It's not a height thing, but it also is a height thing.
Starting point is 03:54:11 Yeah. It's part of it. It's not the only thing. You could take away the height it wouldn't matter. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 03:54:18 Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, you know what though? Good on you for having a stupid opinion in standing by it. You're allowed to have a stupid opinion.
Starting point is 03:54:23 That's my entire life. That's what we do. here we have stupid opinions but here's the thing luckily for us if we have a stupid opinion we can change it in weeks to come and in a new podcast you've had this one opportunity Jack and you've you've
Starting point is 03:54:36 thrown this insane opinion out and this is going to be this is going to go on the weekly planet wiki guy who thought that Tom Cruise was sexier than Brendan Fraser that's just that's one entry in there absolutely ridiculous madness but in a way legendary
Starting point is 03:54:53 you got to respect it you got to respect it Mason is from Sean Jack Wheeler is his full name There we go From England England When we put this in the wiki It's going in
Starting point is 03:55:05 Well we won't Somebody will Somebody will do it Sean Doyle says Have either of you gotten into model making Just getting into it now And it's quite peaceful Are you a model making kid or man
Starting point is 03:55:16 No when I was a kid I would occasionally get like those snap together models Sure Like a snap together Gundam Put the stickers on us etc Yes I um Because my brother built model playing specifically like a lot of... The one I like.
Starting point is 03:55:28 I already. I knew already. Yeah, yeah. And I was like, man, me my car's model guy. The one I don't like, we would just be mushing play there together. Yeah, that's right. And I make the model of a car and I'd be like, I don't like this. I should have done Star Wars stuff.
Starting point is 03:55:39 Yeah. I still have a model of like the Millennium Falcon from like 1990, which I haven't put together. I'm like one day, but realistically, I'm never going to do it. The plastics probably degraded at this point. No, if anything, it's probably worth a lot of money. Yeah. For sure. Especially after I put it together perfectly.
Starting point is 03:55:56 Yes. Yeah. Then one of my kids smashes it. See, the problem is that we grew up in the era where Transformers existed. Yeah. So what am I going to make my own little car? Yeah. And matchsticks or whatever.
Starting point is 03:56:10 And then it's stuck in that form. Or am I going to buy a thing that's already a car, but then it turns into a robot? Exactly. It's crazy. We can get models of Transformers, etc. Or Lego of Transformers, etc. Yeah. Like Sun has an optimist primal and you had to put it together with a snap.
Starting point is 03:56:24 together. Like, it's a model, but it's also... Does it transform? It doesn't transform. And isn't that interesting? And we're talking about it. This is how it makes the news. Did you reveal that to him when he finally finished it?
Starting point is 03:56:34 I think I bought it and I didn't even know. Yeah, right. But then... How do we transform this, Dad? That's the neat part you know. This is... We're teaching you about disappointments. This one's going up on the shelf and we're not touching it.
Starting point is 03:56:44 Yeah, this one's going up in Dad's study. You can't look at it. I'm going to angle it specifically so you can't see it from your perspective. That is correct. That is right. Yeah. So it snapped together, Gungdoms. Smack together gungans
Starting point is 03:56:56 Smack them together smack those gungans together Smack those gungans That's my new sign off For this podcast Smack those gungans What else, Mason? You got on the letter?
Starting point is 03:57:05 He's one email from Jack Jack And normally we don't do this James Normally Man, you're gonna hit me with the Super Hero Showdown No because this is a recurring This is Jack emailed in last week
Starting point is 03:57:16 You'll know who Jack is Okay But this is I think this is important Because this is ignited A follow up Is this is the mummy Yeah All right.
Starting point is 03:57:25 So this is, hello guys, it's Jack again. My daughter's in here again, so I got to... I got to, I got to just bring it down a notch. That's right. But otherwise there'd be language. Yeah. Hello, guys, it's Jack again from the UK. Firstly, I've been told by my girlfriend to apologise to everyone who was affected by my, quote, unquote, stupid opinion
Starting point is 03:57:44 that was read out last week regarding Tom Cruise being sexy than Brendan Fraser. Apologies, I didn't mean to stress folks. I have a question that would either clear mine now. First of all, we weren't stressed. We were furious. It's different. We were furious. And also, like we said, you were entitled to have that opinion.
Starting point is 03:57:58 We were bewildered. Yeah. But we're not stressed. No, we're not stressed. We're not stressed. We're not stressed. We're not stressed for different reasons. We've got other things going on.
Starting point is 03:58:04 I have a question that would either clear my name or would either make the official madman of the podcast. I was curious, who would you cast in the swashbuckling adventure role if a new mummy was coming out? That's a reasonable question. Is this options or is it just like in general? No, just in general. But here's the thing. God.
Starting point is 03:58:20 Who would you cast in the swashbuckling adventure role if a new mummy was coming out? I know who would. he's old but I'd like Jeremy Renner. Thanks again for the great content and again apologies. Thanks Jack. Why him specifically though? There's nothing about that that I just wouldn't have thought Jeremy Renner.
Starting point is 03:58:39 Isn't that why? He's not... This is a whole new world, James. Yeah, this guy's got... It's not wrong because I could see a studio being like... Yeah, Jeremy Renner's in the new Mummy movie or whatever. I'm not going to be the guy who's like,
Starting point is 03:58:51 hey, we need a sexy new young guy. Let's get Jeremy Renner. Austin Butler? Yeah, Austin Butler would probably be if he could not do that voice. Yeah, I saw him with something recently. Yeah, we watched the movie. No, but I mean before that, like,
Starting point is 03:59:06 it was an older movie and I'm like, oh, he's not doing the voice. Not the court stealing one. You're talking about something before that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's just in the back of it. And I'm like, oh, he's not doing the voice. Yeah, okay. What was it, though?
Starting point is 03:59:16 I can't remember. It wasn't once upon a time in Hollywood. It was somewhere in the middle, I think. Yeah. But it's not important. He wasn't doing the voice. What about Glenn Powell? everyone's Glenn Powelling.
Starting point is 03:59:26 What about Glenn Close? That's good too. Ryan Gosling? No, too old. These guys are too old. Being 40 is not that old. That's too old, man. It's actually acceptable.
Starting point is 03:59:36 It's too old. It's totally okay. He's going to pull a muscle swinging over a pirate ship or whatever. So? Yeah. What a way to pull a muscle, though. That's so true. I'm going to say Austin Butler.
Starting point is 03:59:44 All right. I'm going to sell Austin Powers. Okay. Great. Yeah, baby. Behave. Running away from a big sandstorm faces. That's my bag.
Starting point is 03:59:52 Yep. That's right The mummy, who behave? Who behave the mummy? Anaks and a moon? Behave. Mason? Yes.
Starting point is 04:00:04 For those people wondering, which I'm sure people are, yes, my daughter is playing Nintendo Switch in this room. That's right. What game you're playing? I don't know. Hell of a gamer this one. Yeah, it's right.
Starting point is 04:00:13 Fake game. Very mysterious, yeah. Very mysterious. Do you know, and you got it? Oh no, you can't change the character in this. You're just Mario. Oh. Yeah.
Starting point is 04:00:22 The worst one. Yeah, I know. Because you want to be Wai Luigi. Is that right? You want to be Wai Luigi? I want to be Peach. Yeah, fair enough. Well, there's no peach in the game.
Starting point is 04:00:31 There is, but... It's Mario and 10 Wai Lujis. Pige! That's great. This is for content. This is for content purposes, I think. One of the most noble things you can do is mine your children for content. Just in case.
Starting point is 04:00:47 I mean, we got big sandwich. We've got pig rolling down a hill. That's so true, isn't it? I mean, I told that story. We've got what we're reading, nothing, another classic. That's not so classic, that's right. Yeah. Here's an email from Rachel.

I love wildlife and birds, and we'd be keen to know what your favorite bird or animal generally is. I do like a lot of here. This is a great question for everybody. Oh, yeah, we could all say what our favorite birds are. Rachel says, your podcast is the highlight of my week and always leaves me smiling and feeling better.

Starting point is 04:02:07 Okay, what about favorite animal in general? Just apropov, nothing, no prompting. A cat. Cats are good. Yeah. You guys don't have a cat. No, we don't. Should we get a cat?
Starting point is 04:02:16 Yeah. No. I don't... Oh no. You have to now. Well, I've got a dog. Let's wait to see what happens with the dog. You think it's going to turn into a cat?
Starting point is 04:02:24 Isn't that what happens to them? Then they have a different life cycle, right? Yeah, I think so. Okay, cool. They shed their skin and then they're a cat. A cat and a girl. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 04:02:33 Any type of cat, like any particular color? Like a ginger cat? Oh, the cat that came and stayed with us. That was a good one, wasn't it? We housed out a cat, Mason. Oh, you met that cat. I did make that cat. Cool stuff.
Starting point is 04:02:46 Yeah. Well, that cat belongs to somebody else, so you can't have that one. Also, I've never seen one of these in real life with the Dracula parrot. Dan, that's good. What do you think of that? Whoa. You like a Dracula? You know what a Dracula is?
Starting point is 04:02:57 Yes. What is it? That's not incorrect. It's not incorrect. It's a bat slash man. Thank you for contributing great question for everybody here. You ain't wrong, brother. I got one more, Mason.
Starting point is 04:03:07 Okay, I'm ready. If you're okay with this. It's from Alex who said, do you play any sports going up? If so, which? Tennis. Basketball. And a bit of running. Wow.
Starting point is 04:03:17 And just like sports. Do you think we can combine those? tennis basketball and running into one kind of running. Trunning ball. Do you think we could make that happen? Yes, I think we could make it. Okay, but also, I mean, that's the fact that we could make it is not important. It's can we market it and sell it?
Starting point is 04:03:34 That is important. Trunning ball. No. Branded, because people will just bring their own. Yeah. Basketballs and tennis rackets and stuff and running shoes. Yeah. We can't sell this.
Starting point is 04:03:45 Yeah, you're right. Unless we change the weight of them all. Oh, yeah. Really heavy tennis racket? Mm-hmm. really light basketball, like float away in the wind basketball. Big shoes. Big shoes.
Starting point is 04:03:54 Big floppy cloud shoes that you have to run it. Yeah, okay. I like it. Okay. Yeah. I mean, I'm doing, this is not off topic, but I'm doing like high school tours at the moment. My son is still a few years away. Oh, yes.
Starting point is 04:04:06 But they take you through all the sporting facilities and like, look at this basketball court and this and that and whatever. And we've got this program. And I'm like, I don't give a fuck. Like, I think sport is important. I do. But how many professional. sports people do you get out of this? Show me like the arts facility.
Starting point is 04:04:23 Show me, you know, show me not, I'm not saying you have to just do arts, but I'm like, what's your maths program? Like, what's everything else? Like, I don't care about this. Statistically, your son is probably going to get a job. No, this is anybody as well. This isn't just my son. No, but I'm saying that like statistically speaking, all the people that go through these high
Starting point is 04:04:42 schools are going to get a job, you know, that involves arts or maths or engineering or Yeah. Not sports. Yeah. You know. So, you know. Unless you're trying to, unless you're trying to build the strongest boy. Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 04:04:56 But they do just like being, like, do you like this tennis court or whatever? I don't think I've seen a score of the tennis court. But that's the thing. It's spectacle. It is spectacular. It is. They can't be like, look at our maths facility. And it's huge.
Starting point is 04:05:07 And they should do that. And there's all these adding machines and dot matrix printers just popping out. Just you're walking through and there's all this paper coming at you. You know, you have to run. They're like, quickly, let's go. There's too much. There's too much maths and business happening. Let's go.
Starting point is 04:05:21 And you've got to run and it's a bit exciting. I went to one where they took, like the sporting facilities were insane. This is school we're probably not going to send them to. It's very expensive also. But where and they literally like they walked us through everything in all the programs and they had multiple basketball courts and like a full size Olympic swimming pool and whatever and they got a fucking rowing program and it was ridiculous. I'm like, this is not worth it.
Starting point is 04:05:46 I'm just paying for sporting facilities. if I paid for this school. But also, and then they're like, oh, and here's the arts building. You can just have a wander around if you want. Like, that was literally like, I'm like, what's up here? And they're like, oh, the drawing,
Starting point is 04:05:58 you know, you can go and have a look if you want. I'm like, okay, I will. I'll be back in a minute. So, you know, anyway. They should have the stay puffed marshmallow man there. Agreed. And you've got to run from the state. How good with that be?
Starting point is 04:06:10 Right? Good. Yeah. Anyway. Or the Australian stay puff marshmallow man. Yeah. Who's made of. Paul Hogan's poop.
Starting point is 04:06:19 All right. All right. What a way to round out of the episode. All right. All right. He gets a tax post about. He wears a little a cubra. Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 04:06:29 No, it'll be a bigger cubra. Big a coobra. A poobra. Yes, I know. I know, Jay. This isn't how you wanted this to end, was it? It's not how I wanted it to end, but it's how I knew it would end. Anything else?
Starting point is 04:06:42 Got another question? Yeah, I've got so many questions. Oh, just give me any of them. Okay, well, here's one from Mike from. Ohio. Hi, Mike. Been listening to the pod since middle school and recently graduated college. No.
Starting point is 04:06:52 We don't have middle school. We just have school. Yeah, we got school. Just do school normally. Just do little school and then big school. Settle down. Yeah. And have little lunch and big lunch.
Starting point is 04:06:59 That's right. And go to the tuck shop. Go to the tuck shop. You know, it's fucking annoying. Here we go. Mike had a question, but all right. No, no, we'll come back. Okay.
Starting point is 04:07:09 So when I have to order by sign a lunch order, right? Yes, okay. Which happens every now and then. That's basically, for people that don't know in Australia, you're all lunch order. and you basically you buy food and then the school provides the food
Starting point is 04:07:19 Do you still put a little money in a bag? No, wouldn't that be fucking something? Because it used to be when we were kids I don't want to be like this
Starting point is 04:07:25 you put money in a bag and you're right on the bag donut fucking chocolate milk whatever and you send it off That's what you're giving your son for lunch
Starting point is 04:07:32 is it donut and what just some loose chocolate milk in a wet bag It would be in a prima dumb ass
Starting point is 04:07:39 anyway now and it has been like this to be fair since my son started school would probably for long is an app, do you?
Starting point is 04:07:46 No, it's a website, right? So you go to a website and you got to sign up and whatever. You have to do a TikTok to what you're saying. And now they've changed, the school's changed the fucking program. They've to a different provider. And you have to get it in by like Tuesday because they do it one day week. So it's only on Friday. So you're going to do it by Tuesday.
Starting point is 04:08:04 And if you don't, you get like a secondary menu that you have to put in by like Thursday at like 11 a.m. And it's like, I don't fucking think that far ahead. No. I don't get to Monday and go. God, I wonder what my son's going to have for lunch on Friday. I better order on this fucking app that I hate and doesn't work. I'm going to have to presume he wants a donut and some loose chocolate milk like always.
Starting point is 04:08:27 But no, but also like, what if you're the kind of parent and you provide lunch for your kids every day? But then you're sick the day before. Exactly. Well, I can't, you know, I've missed the window. Yeah. So now I have to get him to sneak out of school and go to the bottle shop. Yeah. And look, I understand also.
Starting point is 04:08:44 I understand why the school would do it. because it means you don't have to run something like on-site. So they outsource it. It's like fucking Uber Eats for like shit food, right? Which I guess is just Uber-Eats. And it's just like, everything is a fucking app, Mason. Like my son's basketball team, it's an app.
Starting point is 04:09:03 The whole thing's an app. The whole thing's a fucking app. I don't even know when the game is. I can't plan my fucking weekend because the game isn't announced to like Wednesday or Thursday. The game's on Saturday. This morning. Saturday when we're recording. The game was at 8.30 in the morning.
Starting point is 04:09:19 It's too early. In fucking Fitzroy. That's a long way away. It didn't even have parking. Like, what's happening, Mason? I don't know, man. Bullshit. You know what else happened?
Starting point is 04:09:29 My son's, they didn't have a coach, right? They never coached. And I'm the team manager because I put, why am I doing this? Because I put my hand up and I'll manage the team. Which just means you do like the admin. I don't want to do it. And someone's going to fucking do it.
Starting point is 04:09:41 Get them sponsorships. Like sports bet and stuff. Like the Mighty Ducks. Exactly. And so I'm contacting the club. I'm like, we don't have a coach. And it was the merging of two teams and the other half of the team.
Starting point is 04:09:54 They had a coach. They had these two teenage girls and they were keen. So I was like, great, they can come inside. But then I contacted them to be like, hey, you're keen to come back? And they're like, we contacted the club. And guess what? The club said you'd already been allocated to coach. So we've been put somewhere else.
Starting point is 04:10:09 I'm like, well, that's not fucking true, is it? Because we don't have a coach. So it comes down to the wire. I'm emailing them every day. we don't have a coach who is going to coach this team and then I'm eventually like fuck it I guess I'm going to do it I don't want to fucking do it so I rope in another dad
Starting point is 04:10:24 we plan out of session we get to the venue to do the first coaching thing and all the kids have died of malnutrition if only Fridays yeah if only somebody would order them nutritious food
Starting point is 04:10:39 yeah there wasn't just carbon wet carbohydrates Anyway, there was a coach. There was two teenagers who were older in the club who'd turned up, which, by the way, incredible. I loved that. I'm like, when did you find out about this? And I'm like, we knew a week ago.
Starting point is 04:10:57 And I'm like, well, why the fuck does nobody else know? The club, they club called me the next day and they go, hey, have you were figured out your coach situation? And I'm like, yeah, I fucking met them yesterday. And look, it's not even their fault because all the admin there at the club they're all volunteered. Nobody's getting fucking paid for anything. This fucking wrought.
Starting point is 04:11:18 This bullshit fucking... Is that a raught? It's a fucking wrought. I'm not going to name the organization. It's this massive sporting club. It's the NBL. It's like, fuck me, man. It's just fucking admin and none of the shit works.
Starting point is 04:11:35 None of it fucking works. You can't contact anybody. And anybody you contact doesn't really fucking work there because they have an actual fucking job. I don't know, man Anyway, Mike, I hope that answered your question Here's the email, James.
Starting point is 04:11:55 If you're quite finished. I am, yeah. All right. You got it later? This is from Melissa. All right. The Beatles movies for Caravan and Garbage. Which ones?
Starting point is 04:12:05 Well, so there you go. Melissa says, Firstly, thank you for all your last. My partner and I watch your videos. Sick. And I like to call you our funny Australian men. Well, that's us. Negating the fact that we too are from Melbourne.
Starting point is 04:12:16 Now on the question. Because we're getting four upcoming Beatles movies, the Beatles Cinematic Universe, have you thought about for Caravan and Garbage watching the four films that starred the Beatles? Hard Days Night help magical mystery tour and yellow submarine. I've not considered that at all. This might be, yeah.
Starting point is 04:12:32 As it's the only way I'll get my partner to watch these films. When are these movies out? What do you mean? Oh, the Beatles movie? Because they're making four different Beatles movies. 2026, I'm pretty sure. Somewhere in the middle. And they've got one each, don't they?
Starting point is 04:12:44 Yeah, they do. That's crazy. Yeah. Uh, 2028, simultaneous release. And this is, um, Peter Jackson. Uh, no. It's Sam Mendes.
Starting point is 04:12:56 Sam Mendes, okay. Yeah. Why are they doing this? I don't know. This is interesting, though. It is interesting, right? Harris Dickinson is John Lennon. Paul Maskell is Paul McCartney.
Starting point is 04:13:04 Joseph Quinn is George Harrison. Barry Kergan is Ringo Star. Um, we're all the Beatles. Here's the thing about this. What's that, Mason? I don't know. Of the ghost of all the Beatles. We're all dead now.
Starting point is 04:13:15 That's not true. No. Because I'm here, I'm still alive. Which one are you? I don't know, but I'm alive. Well, I'm the dead ones. That's great. Happy for you.
Starting point is 04:13:23 Happy for me. Must be nice. It's not nice. You're in hell. In fairness, I knew we'd all go to hell. Do you know you can't bring your money to hell? Did you know that? And they remember all the bad stuff you did?
Starting point is 04:13:33 But I've got so much money here and being alive. I've got so much money alive here in London. Maybe you should dig a big hole. Drop some money down to me, one of the dead ones. Maybe I'll convert to being Egyptian. Do you think that would work? I think that would work? Okay, do you think it's too late for me to get back?
Starting point is 04:13:47 Yes, you're still going to stay in hell with no money. Hey, can you dig up my body and put coins on my eyes? Give me Egyptian funeral. I was planning on doing that anyway out of spite. Spite. Yes. Anyway, here's the thing. The only way this is, the only way this is good, this could all fall down immediately.
Starting point is 04:14:02 No. If these are all just boring biopics. Standard. The Beatles. Because you'll see one and you'll go, I don't care about the rest of these. These have to be equally insane, but they're not going to be. Is they all? Or do they lean into like, I don't know, because you want to be like,
Starting point is 04:14:19 oh, Ringo's like the least talented one or whatever, if that's how people consider it. I don't know. I kind of think like. Is it Ringo going, I'm not very good, am I? I'm thinking the Ringo one is just like a. Like a fun time? Like a crazy cartoon adventure and it's not real at all. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 04:14:34 Like maybe one of them's a straight ahead serious one and one's a comedy and one's, I don't know, from the perspective of a dog or something. Like there's not, I'm not sitting around. Because what is this going to be eight hours of movie? Emily Wood was in this. She's Patty Boyd. Oh.
Starting point is 04:14:51 I don't know. Yeah. Or maybe people like, oh my God, the story of the Beatles, it's so compelling. It doesn't even matter to me that it's going to be
Starting point is 04:14:57 eight hours of boring movie. Where the Beatles are a bunch of money and they're, let's put this money in a vault so we can have it after we die. Ringo, you can have the little vault. It's just, oh no. Wait.
Starting point is 04:15:13 Okay, whatever. I don't care. I'm still alive. I'm a real. I drummed on the song, whatever, you know that one, by Liam Lynch. That's me doing the drums. Is that for real? Yes, I really did.
Starting point is 04:15:26 Did he really? Why you're questioning me? I'm Ringo Star. I don't know, man. You could just go into Ringo Star week, honestly, at this point. That's a good point. Maybe I am. Maybe got lost in the source.
Starting point is 04:15:36 I don't know who I am. Damn. You still are youthful and relevant Ringo Star. You're lost in the source. Thanks, bro. Not bad. Because, you know, like Dave Grohl drummed on the... Tenacious D album.
Starting point is 04:15:48 Yeah. So like maybe, God, this is compelling. I'm just lying out. I'm just Googling to see if Ringo Stiles telling the truth. It's from the album Fake Songs. Yep. I know he had something to do with it. Liam Lynch ran up to him on the street and said,
Starting point is 04:16:01 do you like the look of this? And he went, I do. I do. I like this, actually. I like records. I love CDs and records. Love CDs. I love Thomas the Tank Engine.
Starting point is 04:16:09 You know, they made a movie with Alec Baud when he was in it. It was the fat controller. I can't say fat anymore. It's too woke. Am I like this now? I don't know. Yeah, so he re-recorded the album with Ringo Star on drums. Wow.
Starting point is 04:16:25 I wasn't lying, I told you. You're fucking idiots. You know my opinion on that. Whatever. Oh, come on, man. No, I did it. I said the joke from the song. Does anybody know that song?
Starting point is 04:16:38 Yeah. Look up United States of whatever. Yeah. But you don't have to. It's pretty fun. Yeah. Yeah, but yeah, I'm definitely, I mean, we looked at those, as mentioned those. Giant fucking Karawang in the backyard.
Starting point is 04:16:49 Get out of here! Birds aren't welcome! Birds. Birds. Birds. God. But yeah, because we did the Fakes of Archer was. This could be fun.
Starting point is 04:16:58 Or just really boring? I don't know. I've never seen any of them. Does anybody who listen to this have any insight on what the current Beatles movies are like? Yeah. Have they filmed them yet?
Starting point is 04:17:07 What's going on? I don't know if they have filmed them yet. If Sam Mendez is out there listening to this or his kids, yeah. Let us know. Sean Mendez. Just tell us.
Starting point is 04:17:15 Yeah, exactly. Eva Mendez. Your daughter. Eva Mendes. Exactly. Yeah. Here's an email from Bruno. Bruno.
Starting point is 04:17:22 Hi, greetings from Texas. Bruno Mars. No. Bruno, Texas. Yes. I've been a fan for over a decade and a quick question for you all. We've seen so many heroes recast over the years, especially Batman. If you had to guess, how many more times do you think you'll see Batman recast in your lifetime?
Starting point is 04:17:38 Oh, do you think it's going to be one of those things where it gets quicker and quicker? Because I feel like we're going to be having multiple Batman's at one point. Yeah, maybe. Two Batman's at once. Right. Going to get patterns and whoever. new Batman is. Are we including, we're not including animated.
Starting point is 04:17:50 Okay. We're not including animated. Doesn't count. Doesn't count. Doesn't count. Doesn't count. Doesn't count. Doesn't count.
Starting point is 04:17:58 Doesn't count. Let me think. How many has there been in the last decade? Let's do our lifetime. Okay. So for our lifetime, the first was Keaton, Kilmer, Clooney, Bayle, Affleck, Patinson. Yep. Is that everyone?
Starting point is 04:18:14 Plus there's some TV live action stuff. We're not counting them. We're not counting. Did I miss anybody in there? I thought I did. Bail? You said bail? I said bail. No, I think that's it.
Starting point is 04:18:21 That's six. Yeah. Six. I said Affleck, right? Okay. Do I say Affleck? Yes. Okay.
Starting point is 04:18:27 So another six? At least. You think it's going to go faster? Maybe. Maybe. I don't know. Let's say we live another 40 years. Nice.
Starting point is 04:18:36 Hypothetically. Yeah. I reckon another six. Yeah. Yeah. In that time period. And that's if we do live another 40 years. That's right.
Starting point is 04:18:43 But let's say we live another 10 years. Yes. I'd say it's also going to be six in that time. period. You think so? Wouldn't it be interesting if you got told how you're going to die by how many Batman are, like for a 14-time thing Batman there's going to be? That would be great.
Starting point is 04:18:55 And you just be constantly looking at a variety. That's right. Oh shit, this actor quit. Oh, no. Does that count? Yeah. Did he film any of it? Just filming the screen test count?
Starting point is 04:19:05 Yeah. Oh, good. Or what if like the world ends and there's no more Batman movies and then you're around forever? Oh no. That'd be good. No, that's bad. You're immortal.
Starting point is 04:19:13 Oh, no. But then what would happen? I think you have to count people reenacting. old Batman movies by like a dumpster fire like Christian Bail did in Raider Fire yeah exactly yeah that's right yeah I'm gonna say six but it could be more because I think there's gonna be concurrent Batman's
Starting point is 04:19:28 we're probably gonna get multiverse Batman oh that's true blah but does that even count no I think I you're talking like recast this is a new Batman I think what they're gonna if they do multiverse Batmans I think they're gonna do everything within their power to bring back previous Batman actors like they'll get they'll try and get bail
Starting point is 04:19:46 they'll give, they'll be like, hey, bail, 10 million bucks to be in this for five minutes. Would you do that? Or do it. And it'll be like, I'll blim and do it. Yeah, that's right. Either you do it or we'll just do it. Yeah, exactly. 10 million or you'll see yourself on screen no matter what.
Starting point is 04:20:01 And your kids will be like, did you, did you film that? You'd be like, no. No. I didn't blim and do it. No. No, you stupid kids. They did it with AI. You stupid kids.
Starting point is 04:20:12 My stupid kids. Yeah. I'm Christian Bail. He shouldn't talk to his kids. like that. I'm not currently in a movie where I'm American, so I'm going to use my relaxation. Just what a second look. What was he from?
Starting point is 04:20:25 Wales? Yeah, I think he's Welsh. Okay, right. Yeah. I think you're probably right. Yeah. Because also, like, I'd say another six and there were, and there were huge gaps in there where there was no Batman.
Starting point is 04:20:34 And I don't think we're going to experience that. You think so? Not in the same way. Yeah. But then they might, what if they lock in on the perfect Batman and he's Batman for like 15 years? Yeah, they might. But even then I think they'll do multiple series. Timothy Chalamette.
Starting point is 04:20:47 Timothy Chalamette. Thin, thin Batman. Thin Batman? I'm thin Batman. Reedy Batman. I'm reedy, Batman. How am I going to get out of this cage? Oh, I'll just go through the bars.
Starting point is 04:20:58 I'm thin Batman. So I just walk normally through the bars. We don't even have to turn to the side. I'm thin Batman. Thin Batman's foiled me again. Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah. Wah. Joseph Cook says,
Starting point is 04:21:14 I'm thin penguin. What? Yes. Even thinner than that guy. Which guy? The one from Gotham. He was thin. I'm thinner than him. But I've turned to the side. You can't even see me.
Starting point is 04:21:27 No, I can't. I'm just me in this. You're welcome. I didn't say. You're welcome, though. What, wah, wah. Didn't ask for it. I didn't say thanks.
Starting point is 04:21:39 Not something I'm interested in. A even thinner penguin away. Even thinner penguin away. Wah, wah, wah, wah. All right, is everybody thin, or is it just you and Batman? Just me and Batman. All right, man, that's cool, I guess. Just a coincidence, though, that you're both thin.
Starting point is 04:21:59 Apparently it is. Apparently it is. Okay. You didn't see him and then... I'm not on a Zampick, and that's what you're asking. I'm not on it. It's just diet and exercise. All right.
Starting point is 04:22:10 You don't look well. Joseph Cox says. Here's one more email from Nile. Nile? Hi, Guy. Nile, Texas. After last week, I need you to go through every sexiest man alive and figure out if it was the right choice.
Starting point is 04:22:22 All right, no problem. I think you'll love 2016. I know this one. I know exactly what you're talking about. Is it Johnny Depp? It might be. Johnny Depp's definitely in there. Sexiest man.
Starting point is 04:22:32 And we are qualified for this. Yep. We're definitely qualified for this. I mean, we could do a whole episode on this, but why don't we do it from 2010 up? Okay, let's do it. There's too many of days. Let's skim them. 2010 was Ryan Reynolds.
Starting point is 04:22:44 Do they also do sexiest women alive? Does nobody care about that? It's only sexiest man alive. I think all women are beautiful. But let me be clear, not all men are beautiful. Some are real I goes. That's very true, isn't it? But not the ones you think.
Starting point is 04:22:56 No. Ryan Reynolds, 2010? Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah. Also, a lot of these men, I think, are going to look very different then than they do now. Because of passage of time. Passage of time. Or do you mean just the perception of them?
Starting point is 04:23:09 I think both. Yeah. Yeah. And also the work they've had done. The work that they're weird faces. Yeah. And then we've got, well, speaking off, people are 2011, Bradley Cooper. That's pre-
Starting point is 04:23:19 His surgery on his face. Yeah, people don't like his face or whatever he did. I don't know. I don't even know. I don't know enough about him too. No, I don't know either. Sometimes they're like,
Starting point is 04:23:28 because it'll come up on Instagram or whatever. Like, this guy's had all this work and I'm like, he just looks like he's old. He's older? He's had. Or he's shiny? He's shiny or the angle of the photo is different? I don't know.
Starting point is 04:23:38 Yeah. What was Bradley Cooper doing in 2011? Because this was, I guess I was after. Limitless? It was limitless? Was it limitless? It was also he did a hangover. Hangover?
Starting point is 04:23:49 We're going... We're going... My bloody, a limitless hangover, that's like bloody every weekend for me. Is it? A limitless hangover, yes. Limitless was 2011. Yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 04:24:00 2012 was Channing Tatum, seems right. Makes sense. 2012. When was he doing magical Michael? That was... That was there that year, actually, I think. I know, I know movies. Yeah.
Starting point is 04:24:11 He done magical Michael, The Vow and 21 Jump Street. Okay. He said, my first thought was... That was a big movie. He said, my first thought was, y'all are messing with me. Well, that's, I mean, that's the humble that we associate with the sexiest man alive. This is a fun one.
Starting point is 04:24:25 2013 is Adam Levine. Nah. Of Maroon Fire. Yeah. Never. Dork. Wow. Just because of his dork tattoos?
Starting point is 04:24:36 Yeah, that's part of it. Is it that all his tattoos, if you zoom in close enough, they just say tattoo on it? It's just a tattoo of an anchor or whatever, and it says default tattoo.tatootto.com on it. It's an honour he took with a grain and the salt, he said. Oh, yeah. I'll just throw it in the pile with all my other awards. Yeah. You feel like you owe it to be kind of self-depreciating about it
Starting point is 04:24:58 because it is an iconic thing, but also silly. It's going to hit me when I'm constantly the butt of every joke, every friend and family member makes in the next 20 years of my life, but I'm ready to handle it. I didn't even know you were this. I mean, maybe your friends and family do. What about this on Mason? 2014.
Starting point is 04:25:13 It's a Chris Hemsworth. It's a long-haired Chris Hemsworth. Oh, hell yeah. I would say. Australia's own Chris Hemsworth. You'd get that to him now. Byron Bay's own. Chris Hemsworth.

Starting point is 04:25:44 Oh, the rock. It's the rock. Wow. I don't know. He's not. It's not. He's not that. I mean, we don't know the people who are into...
Starting point is 04:25:53 Nobody's into the rock. Interesting. Do you know... Is he married with multiple children? He's been married a couple of times, I think. Okay. But, uh, I don't know. He's just not...
Starting point is 04:26:03 It'd be like calling Arnold the sexiest man alive. It's like, yeah, he's handsome. He's big. But like... He is big. You know? She had on his wife. Sure.
Starting point is 04:26:11 That's an okay thing to do. Apparently. Oh, this is a fun one. Yeah, but I mean, you know, I'll tell you what, At this point in his life, he's probably... That was probably peak. Peak of the career and he's probably being charismatic in interviews. He's probably being charismatic.
Starting point is 04:26:27 Being charismatic in interviews, you know? Absolutely. We've got a 27 in. We've got a Blake Shelton. I don't really know who that is. No. You know what's interesting about all the... Is he a musician?
Starting point is 04:26:39 Maybe. TV presenter. Sometimes they'll throw on a TV presenter. Country star. Is he? All right. No, good on him. It's big.
Starting point is 04:26:46 Like, wow. We're down to somebody who is somewhat symmetrical. Orkin'i, blah, blah, blah. He's always married to Gwen Stefani. Got to say, man, they're making a lot of the white decisions here. Oh, no, here we go. Like the Rock. Yeah, like the Rock.
Starting point is 04:26:59 Idris Alba. There we go. Yes, 100%. No, no disagreements there. Yeah. I just saw Blake Shelton's face, and I'm like, that's the whitest man I've ever seen in my life. You're sitting across for me, James. Yeah, stand by.
Starting point is 04:27:14 2019, John Legend. Yeah, okay. Yeah. Hmm. I mean, come. Idris Albert, John Legend, Blake Shelton. I don't think he's even the same species. Do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 04:27:24 I've never heard a John Legend song. Maybe he's all sexy in it. Maybe he's all sexy. Probably all sexy in it. He's got that song that goes, I'm too sexy for my shirt. So that's a good song. Yeah. This one I hard, hard agree.
Starting point is 04:27:36 20, Michael B. Jordan. Nice, good. Yep. Not Michael Jordan, just to be clear. Sure. Yeah. Uh, 2021 might be controversial, Paul Rudd. I like it.
Starting point is 04:27:46 No, that works. Yeah. Very genial. Good looking. Genial, movie star. Funny. Abbs. Abbs, sometimes.
Starting point is 04:27:53 Was that an Ant-Man era? It would have been. 2021. Yeah. So that's post-end game. And then 2022, it just says Kevin Rudd. It says Kevin Rudd. Kevin Rudd, former Prime Minister of Australia.
Starting point is 04:28:02 Recently married Anthony Albanesee. Albo. Wow. 2022 Chris Evans. Feels late. Doesn't it, though. But I agree. But when was Knives out?
Starting point is 04:28:12 Before 2019. Was it? Yeah. This was his ghosted era, Chris Evans. Wow. Oh, yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 04:28:18 So here's the thing. I don't disagree, handsome charming. Sometimes, I reckon. It feels like a lifetime achievement award of being handsome. Yeah, maybe the PR departments are getting involved in it like, he's got something to promote. He's got ghosted promote. Oh, yeah. And so Apple's just like, he is, hey, people magazine, he's a billion dollars.
Starting point is 04:28:35 Here's one they're putting out in 2023. Okay. Feels late, but I do agree with it. It's a Patrick Dempsey. Absolutely. That's a lifetime achievement. That's a lifetime achievement being sexy, having good hair. That's right.
Starting point is 04:28:45 24, John Cresinski. No. Wow. Look at these pictures, even. Yeah. See, that says everything to me, Mason. I think that feels like somebody, I think they're struggling to find a winner that year.
Starting point is 04:29:00 And they went, who haven't we given it to? Who could we have given it to some point? John Krasinski, very charming, you know, he's the world's boyfriend in the office or whatever. He's the world's boyfriend. Let's give it to him. And people are like, a bit late. But all right. And of course, this year was Jonathan Bailey, which I also agree with.
Starting point is 04:29:16 100%. First, openly gay man. I mean, there might be some other closeted gay men in here. Let me just go through the list. Oh, yeah, there's one. Wow. There's another one. Huh, interesting.
Starting point is 04:29:27 Which is fine. Yeah, 8 out of 10. That's interesting. Harrison Ford got it in 98. Did he? Which is interesting. Was that witness? No, it was way after witness.
Starting point is 04:29:37 That was like the one he did with Ann H. Like that year. Oh, six day, seven nights. Yeah. Denton Washington got in 96. That's a good one. Bradfitt's had it twice. You said we're only going to do 15 years.
Starting point is 04:29:48 Yeah, I know. Just going back. Richard Gere and Cindy Crawford got it in 1993. Nick Nolte. Richard Gere and Sid... Okay. Richard Gere, I mean, that makes sense. Nick Nalty, 92.
Starting point is 04:30:00 I'm just going back. Patrick Swayzee. Tom Cruise, 1990. I guess 99. Sean Connery, 89. What if we went through the sexiest women list and we're just like, nah, ugly, nah. John F. Kennedy got it in junior. I got it in 98.
Starting point is 04:30:13 And for previous year that, RFK Jr. Who's how... RFK Jr.?? Yeah. No, you son of a bitch. I was like, who's Harry Hamlin? He got 87. Oh, you know, he's so tanned.
Starting point is 04:30:22 He doesn't look that tan in this one. Interesting. Good hair. Very good hair. I don't know him. He's married to, or he was married to Lisa Rinner. Okay. Mark Harmon got it in 86.
Starting point is 04:30:32 Makes sense. Mel Gibson, 85. Makes sense for 85. That's where it stops. Yeah, makes sense for 85. Yeah. All right, that's interesting. We could have done a whole episode on that.
Starting point is 04:30:43 Last one from Kail. He says, do you miss the old Red Rooster Chicken strips? The strip substance isn't the same. They ruined it. they fucking did ruin it. I've said that. And when I told you that, you were like, chickens the same. You did not believe me.
Starting point is 04:30:54 And then it was confirmed by a member of the Red Ruster community. A member of the Red Roustic community. Yeah, a guy we met... Mate, you are losing it. A member of the Red Ruster community. You think there's not a community? Yes. He worked there.
Starting point is 04:31:05 And then he messaged me on Instagram and I said, hey, while I got you here, did you change the chicken? And he confirmed it for me. He changed the chicken. He didn't change it specifically. But they did change the chicken. The chicken's trips were better. And now they're like genericky.
Starting point is 04:31:17 That is very specific take. And that's why they're slowly losing our business, not really. And they went from Coke to Pepsi. It's true. God damn it, Mason. A lot sucks. Yeah, sometimes. Mason wants it.
Starting point is 04:31:29 But at least we've got a Michael Jackson biopic to go on with. And the Michael Jackson musical. God bless him, wherever he is in hell. Yeah. And we've got whatever inside joke recurring gag that we developed over the course of the podcast this week that I've forgotten. At least we have that, because then I'd just say it and we'd all laugh. This is where it would be. This is where it would be.
Starting point is 04:31:49 I'd be like, and this and we'd be like, ah, yeah, good stuff. Rogue Trooper. At least we're here with our friend Rogue Trooper. He's here. Hi, I'm Road Trooper. I'm a character in this podcast now. Ask me any questions, Mason. Ask you any questions, Rogue Trooper.
Starting point is 04:32:07 I'm here to answer. I mean, I'm quite familiar with your work. Don't have any questions. That's okay. We don't have to do questions. I can just be quiet. I'll be honest, Rogue. Trooper. I've only ever read you speaking. I didn't think this is how you sounded.
Starting point is 04:32:21 That's interesting. A lot of people don't say that. A lot of people know that I sound like this. So you mustn't be as big a fan as say your friend James, who knew what I sound like. James, is this true? You knew this and you never told me? It's true. You son of a bitch. I know. I wanted to surprise you for your birthday. Oh man. Well, now this is a bit... I feel terrible. This is a big misunderstanding. You guys were trying to be nice for my birthday. We weren't trying to be nice just to be clear. We are coming here because I want to make fun of you.
Starting point is 04:32:49 What? Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. How do your three friends top gunner and bag man? How do they feel about me? They don't have been much to say about you at all.
Starting point is 04:33:04 If they did it would be negative. We honestly, you don't take up a lot of time in our lives because we're always rogue trooper. You know that at least about us. That is actually true. I do know that, Rogue Trooper. Thanks for setting me straight. Happy to do it.
Starting point is 04:33:19 And listen, if there's any more help that you need, like maybe you want me to come to your work and do a little speech or whatever in the break room, I'm happy to come. What day do you want me there? I think we're booked out, honestly. Really? Yeah. Every day you've got someone coming in?
Starting point is 04:33:35 Every day we've got someone coming in, yeah. For the rest of the year. Yeah, uh-huh. And also, we have booked Friday, the rogue trooper from the other continuity, which turned out to be the same continuity. Really? We booked him. So I guess, I mean, he's probably going to say similar stuff to you.
Starting point is 04:33:48 We sound the same. We sound both sound like this. Did you know that? I actually knew that he sounded like this. So it's weird that I was surprised that you sounded like. Oh, great. You sound like a real dumb guy. Excuse me?
Starting point is 04:33:58 I'm just saying. I'm just saying. You know me, Rogue Trip, I always tell the truth. That's one of the things that I'd do it. That's true. You are genetically determined to always tell the truth. And I'm blue. Blue.
Starting point is 04:34:11 In colour. Yes. But not in mind and soul. That's correct. I got a good energy about me. I think we could all agree. I mean, most. Mostly, yeah.
Starting point is 04:34:19 Yep. I'm going to go now. Okay. I'm going to get in my Rogue Trooper Jeep. No. No, I just bought it. Oh, great. Great.
Starting point is 04:34:29 Yeah. That's terrific. With success comes buying a Jeep. I know. Yeah. Get that movie coming out. Duncan Jones is directed. Duncan Jones.
Starting point is 04:34:38 Yeah. I see you work this week. I'm going to get a store. Bye. Bye. Bye Rogue Trooper. Trooper. By Top and Bagman and Gunner.
Starting point is 04:34:50 Cool. That's probably the most famous guess we've had. Yeah, I think so, yeah. Yeah. I actually didn't always sound like that. You said you did? Yeah, I died. Wow.
Starting point is 04:34:59 I didn't want to look silly. I should have lied in front of road trip. Yeah, you should have lied. It's easy to lie. Yeah, yeah. I do it all the time. Yeah. Do you want to wrap up the show?
Starting point is 04:35:07 Because if you don't, Rogue Trooper might come back. Better wrap it up quick then. Mason, that's the show. Oh, no, I got one more. I'm just if you will, this top contributor. I said, Fondestand, all funniest. memory from your teaching days. I mean, there's a lot, and a lot of which I cannot say.
Starting point is 04:35:22 Yeah, yeah. When I was teaching, obviously, you know, when a student said, well, you can't break 20 boards in a row with one with a simple karate chop. And I'm like, well, I'll prove you wrong. And I said, hi, yeah, I did. You did a punch then, though. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 04:35:35 Yeah. Is that count? Well, you got to, you know, they think you're going to zig. You got a dad. You do got a. Yeah, you got to. Yeah. This is, I don't know, this is one store.
Starting point is 04:35:42 I probably told it before. I had a kid in my class. He was like a bit of an odd duck, which is my favorite kind of thing. Oh, yeah, absolutely. And I got a call, which I don't normally take. I have said this. I'm sure I've told the story. I got a call from my mom that my grandpa had died.
Starting point is 04:35:55 So I picked up the phone and I'm like, oh, yeah, no, thank you for telling me. I appreciate it. I hang up. I'm going to stand there for a second. This key comes up and he's like, and he was there. He's like, what's going on? And I'm like, oh, I don't know why I said this. I'm like, I just found out my grandpa died.
Starting point is 04:36:09 And he goes, what's his name? This is how he talked. He's the name was Jack. And he goes, Jack. McDonical? And I go, what? No, do you think you just like have a shot at this guy's name? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 04:36:23 He thought it was a cash prize. I just thought it was really funny. He was like, fuck it, I'm going to guess. Let's see what this guy's dad grandpa's name is. Look, I think he would be a great guest to this podcast because a lot of this is just word association. I completely agree. Yeah.
Starting point is 04:36:39 Anyway, awesome. He's out in the world. Yeah. Probably an adult now. Probably. All right. Is that the show? That is so the show, James.

Starting point is 04:39:53 I don't know. It's a mystery. It's a cliffhanger, isn't it? It's an international man of mystery. It's an international mystery cliffhanger situation. Well, Austin, we look forward to seeing you next week. No, I'm not coming back next week. Yeah, but you might.
Starting point is 04:40:03 I don't think I will. Yeah, but you might. I'm going to be really busy. You might. And Mike, this joke, joke, this series of events might, happened for a really long time. Don't you think? My international super spike career is not a joke, James.
Starting point is 04:40:17 I don't think it is. And neither is Austin Powers. All right? All right, fair. Yeah. No, grabbed out, Jamie, guys. We'll see it next week. And buy Austin Powers.
Starting point is 04:40:28 But not for the last time. Say it again, Alec Babies. You know he will. Whoa, James. Whoa. We thought of all our good podcasting memory. I was thinking about most of them. And the machines created the perfect podcasting bodies
Starting point is 04:40:40 and we're in them. We are now. transferred a consciousness into the permanent transfer, right? This isn't a thing where someone's going to kick over the machine and our real bodies tumble out onto some glass. No, this is a permanent. Okay, good. This is permanent.
Starting point is 04:40:52 Thank Iowa. Exactly. And then we're going to have the, we've got the perfect podcasting bodies. And we're going to thrive in this environment. We're going to create the greatest podcasting memories. Now, to simply look into these mirrors, James. Yeah. Oh, my God, James.
Starting point is 04:41:07 These new podcasting bodies, we're so gaunt and pale and all. hunched over. Oh, wait, they're the same as their regular body. It's the same. Do we have to wear the masks, though? Probably even more masks. Oh, no, double masks. We can have to double mask.
Starting point is 04:41:23 God damn it. This is a real shame. It is a shame for us. Yeah. I mean, but to think, you know, we've had the perfect podcasting bodies all along. No, that's a good point, I guess. But you're saying we didn't have to listen to any of that.
Starting point is 04:41:34 Oh, man. What a waste of time. What a waste of time? It makes me want to stay on holiday until February 2nd. What about you? At least February 2nd. Yeah, that's right. Good.
Starting point is 04:41:44 I hope so. Yeah. Probably not at least. It'll probably be exactly February 2nd. Okay. Yeah. Probably might have to start recording a little bit earlier. We might actually have to.
Starting point is 04:41:51 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Fantastic. Wow. But it's okay because in these new podcasting bodies, we only require eight to 10 hours of sleep a day. The perfect amount of sleep, I think. And we've also got the perfect amount of graying. Oh my God.
Starting point is 04:42:04 You know? I know I do. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. All right, Mason. Let's go. Okay. Anyway, thanks everybody for listening this year.
Starting point is 04:42:11 I'm listening this year. Do you like some of these? This year. You like some of this? In the new year, you may. Yes, I do. Yeah. We'll see you around.
Starting point is 04:42:18 We'll see you real soon in our new bodies that we hate. That's right. All right. Yeah, yeah. All right. Hey, everything's starting to wake. My neck, my knees. Oh, man.
Starting point is 04:42:28 That's the same. Whatever. It's the same.
