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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
I appreciate that.
I'll see you later.
Austin Bowers.
Goodbye.
James.
Okay.
Nick Mason.
Hey, what's up?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
dot gov.
That's right.
Yeah.
What do you think about that?
I love that.
Yeah.
That's good.
All right.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
Zelda will be played by Bo Braggerson sign.
Question.
Shigeru.
Yeah.
What's his first name?
Is it Miyamoto?
Is it?
Is it?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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,
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Yeah.
So here you go.
I rest my case.
Great point.
Yeah.
Look at this.
Look at this.
Nothing poster.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
Yeah.
Right.
I don't think they want anything.
No.
Because the world's ending.
Yeah.
You know?
That's right.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
Whatever.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Is it vaping?
Is it poggers?
We don't know.
We don't know.
Is it the Nelk boys?
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?
Beach Boys.
Yep.
Backstreet boys.
Yeah.
Boys to men.
Yeah.
The boys, the TV show.
Boys light up from the Australian crossover.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Come on, man.
Look.
Continue to discover.
Okay.
And rewatch it across every platform over the past decade.
Yeah.
Hell yeah.
This is incredible.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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?
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%.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
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,
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?
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
Bruchette...
Biscetti situation.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, Peter Piscetti.
Is he there also?
It might have been.
I wonder what he'd be like.
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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
Max Mercury.
Max Mercury.
Fake name.
Fake ass name.
Yeah.
That's right.
Mason.
Or Johnny Quick.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
You got me.
Yeah, that's true.
Cool.
Yep.
Oh, yeah.
Great.
I'm all about this.
I love that this.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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...
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
So that's good.
And I can do big punches.
Woo!
Okay.
So.
When you look at the output of Amazon
on generally.
Yeah.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
Finish him.
No.
Mortal combat.
Oh, now you're talking my language.
Bebality.
Nice.
Killian Murphy looking good.
He's a babe.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Would you feel like, were you spotting all the trains all the time?
Yeah.
You know?
Trainspotting?
Yeah.
Two?
Yeah.
T2?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Just in Petty.
You're like, you're saying train sporting two?
Yeah.
Yeah.
You being sarcastic?
No.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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...
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
And Mace Windu,
I mean,
first of all,
he ended without a warrant.
Yeah,
not okay.
Not on and all.
Yeah.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
Trailers.
That's right.
Hank.
Okay.
Hack.
Stop.
Hack.
I don't like this.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yeah.
The last one is bad.
Yeah.
But they all look great.
Mm-hmm.
This is a real downgrade.
Flat.
It's flat.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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...
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?
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
$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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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!
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Big movie loading.
Big movie.
Beep burp burp, etc.
Command prompt.
Tron Ares.
Good movie?
I guess.
There you go.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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?
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
Like Quora
Like Quora
Yeah
Hello
All right, should we move to the next segment
of the show
Let's do another segment
It's called, what we read
Can you say what we're going to read?
Lassie
What the hell?
That's bad podcasting, isn't it?
Hmm.
Wow.
Should we move it along?
Great.
But should we move it along?
Yeah, let's move it along.
Well, Mason, we normally do what are we reading and what we're going to read.
Oh, yes.
And then this week is normal?
No, but it's just...
Let me speak.
But it's the return of hate mail, but the hate has an eight in it.
Whoa.
What you did this?
You told me earlier.
For those people, we don't know.
Oh, yes.
And I don't know why you wouldn't.
I mean, it's only a show we do every eight months to four years.
It's correct.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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?
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
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
Also, I watched the gorge.
Oh, did you?
Yeah.
How was that?
Yeah.
All right.
Great.
Yeah, maybe I'll watch it one time.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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
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
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
It's expensive
Yeah it seems that way
And everyone's brain is rotten
From fucking
I don't know
everything.
Yeah.
Whatever else.
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
Yeah.
Maybe.
Yeah.
I don't know.
These are all really sad.
No.
They're fine.
And they're like,
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.
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
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.
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?
Is this him?
Is this him?
H or a V?
Ah, pH.
That's him.
Is it?
Might be.
Does he listen to this?
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
No overnight oats?
And guess what?
I'm down.
No overnight oats?
Yeah.
Wow.
That's actually, wow.
Agreed.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
Yeah.
And then it ends in murder.
Do it, no.
All right, man.
All right, Mason.
What's next?
Yeah.
You got a big.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Puffed out.
Puffed out.
Okay.
You look puffed out.
Like a puffer fish.
Wow.
Oh, they...
Yep.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
Yeah.
I don't know you're Greek.
Well, there you go.
Absor.
It's the joke.
I'm David.
Mason, stop.
Stop.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
Cardio?
Cardio, sure.
Mates.
Mates.
Go out.
Go out.
Stop using chat, J.P.
Yep.
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...
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?
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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?
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yep.
That's right
The mummy, who behave?
Who behave the mummy?
Anaks and a moon?
Behave.
Mason?
Yes.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yeah, let's see what this email is.
Hey, James Amato.
In your last episode, I could hear lots of lorikeets question mark in the background.
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.
Best wishes from Edinburgh
Thank you
I've been to Edinburgh
Pelican bit me once
And so they're your favourite animal
Probably
And you're always running around
Trying to get a different bird
To bite you again
I mean I love a white cockatoo
Or a black cockatoo
Because they're rar
We can include any animal generally
My favourite
I think my favourite bird is probably the gala
Because it's pink and grey
What's going on there?
What's going on there?
What's going on there? Why is it pink and grey?
What's happening there?
But I love it
You know it's a good bird? A bat?
It's a good one
Good bird is a bat
Yeah
I'll ask
Hey
What's your favourite bird?
Hmm.
Gala.
She said what you said.
I just said that.
Do you have another favourite bird or are you just copying Mason?
Cockatoo.
I said that one too.
Can you name a third bird?
Okay, what about...
But if that is your favorite bird?
A parrot is a good one.
Parat is a great bird.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
Right?
Good.
Yeah.
Anyway.
Or the Australian stay puff marshmallow man.
Yeah.
Who's made of.
Paul Hogan's poop.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
is it
donut and
what just some loose
chocolate milk
in a wet bag
It would be in a
prima
dumb ass
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
Yeah, they do.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
Uh,
2028, simultaneous release.
And this is, um, Peter Jackson.
Uh, no.
It's Sam Mendes.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
Yeah, exactly.
Eva Mendez.
Your daughter.
Eva Mendes.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Here's an email from Bruno.
Bruno.
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?
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.
Okay.
We're not including animated.
Doesn't count.
Doesn't count.
Doesn't count.
Doesn't count.
Doesn't count.
Doesn't count.
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?
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.
That's six.
Yeah.
Six.
I said Affleck, right?
Okay.
Do I say Affleck?
Yes.
Okay.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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-
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
2013 is Adam Levine.
Nah.
Of Maroon Fire.
Yeah.
Never.
Dork.
Wow.
Just because of his dork tattoos?
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
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.
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.
Yep.
Home and away zone, Chris Hemsworth.
Home and away zone.
2015 was David Beckham.
David Beckham.
Lovely fellow, it seems.
It seems like a nice fella.
Lined up to see the Queen's body or whatever.
Did he?
Yeah, he was in the line all day or night or whatever.
Now, the 2015, this is the one that he was like,
2016.
2016.
Oh, no.
This is great.
There you go.
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...
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...
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.
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.
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?
Maybe.
TV presenter.
Sometimes they'll throw on a TV presenter.
Country star.
Is he?
All right.
No, good on him.
It's big.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
No, that works.
Yeah.
Very genial.
Good looking.
Genial, movie star.
Funny.
Abbs.
Abbs, sometimes.
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.
Recently married Anthony Albanesee.
Albo.
Wow.
2022 Chris Evans.
Feels late.
Doesn't it, though.
But I agree.
But when was Knives out?
Before 2019.
Was it?
Yeah.
This was his ghosted era,
Chris Evans.
Wow.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
Yeah.
That's terrific.
With success comes buying a Jeep.
I know.
Yeah.
Get that movie coming out.
Duncan Jones is directed.
Duncan Jones.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Anyway, awesome.
He's out in the world.
Yeah.
Probably an adult now.
Probably.
All right.

Good job.
It's good a week.
Can I pay you?
Maybe I'll pay you.
Do you want to come in every week and do this?
Because every week he's always talking.
He's like this.
And this is a good way to get him out of here.
Oh, but I'm like talking.
All right.
Let's fix the switch.
Fantastic Four!
Read Richards.
What are we going to do?
Because Galactus is coming.
I don't know, but I'm going to another dimension.
Oh, behave.
Who was that?
What?
I don't know.
It sounded like the bin?
No, that was definitely Austin Powers.
Damn.
That definitely had the British twang of Austin Powers.
I think I can't hear accents.
Yeah, I don't know.
You've out of it.
Yeah, all right.
All right, thanks everyone.
That's the end of the show.
Hey, I'm back, baby.
Wow, this is groovy.
What are you doing here?
Austin Powers, what are you doing here?
That's I'm saying.
What are you doing here?
I'm back.
I completed my mission.
Well, which was?
I don't know, some stuff.
There was a lady bot or whatever.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
We did talk about that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I saw you die, Austin Powers.
This is me.
Yeah.
I saw you die, Austin.
Well, I didn't.
Is that mean your powers don't work?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
You know?
I know I do.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
All right, Mason.
Let's go.
Okay.
Anyway, thanks everybody for listening this year.
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.
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.
That's the same.
Whatever.
It's the same.
