Sands Pants Radio, just like a prayer, you know I'll take you there.
Hey everyone, just letting you know that we're doing our very first interstate live show.
It's the Teach Jackson to Drive Plumbing the Death Star Sydney show because that boy is turning 25
and me and Dusha are just tired of him hassling our grapes for a lift.
So, on Thursday the 29th of September, which is incidentally Jackson's birthday, we'll
be at the Chippendale Hotel on 87 Abercrombie Street in Sydney to talk some Marvel or DC,
Pokemon or Star War or something.
We'll work it out.
The show kicks off at 7.30.
There's apparently a decent burger joint there, which is pretty good, so I know
what we're having for dinner. Link's in the show notes where you can purchase tickets,
and we'll see you all there. Now, enjoy the show.
Hey everyone, and welcome to this week's episode of Plumbing the Death Star, where we ask important
questions like, how would you use the suicide squad?
Is this the real life? you use the suicide squad. How many of them do I get?
All of them
No, but I mean like
Do I get the Suicide Squad from the garbage film?
The Suicide Squad?
Or do I get any like
Can I make my own?
I guess is my question.
You can use the shark man.
Yeah.
Okay, look.
I will give you.
His name is King Shark.
It is.
All right.
So the movie came out a few weeks ago.
Classic.
Acclaimed.
We all loved it.
This episode was recorded before the film came out,
so we can only assume.
No, we're kidding.
It's not.
If we've seen it, it's bad.
I just want to say I didn't hate it. It's not. If we've seen it, it's bad. I just
want to say I didn't hate it. It is
bad, but I didn't hate it.
I don't know why.
I mean, like, name what?
Name redeeming qualities of that film.
Songs. Songs.
Oh, that was really distracting. Even though they were forced in.
Will Smith, it was good to see him Will Smith it up
again because he hasn't done that for a while.
And the Harley Quinn was dead on,
even though it doesn't always work in live action.
And the script that she was given was dog shit.
I think I described Harley Quinn's performance
as three shits in my mouth.
So I'm going to have to disagree with you there.
That's too many.
One shit for her accent, one shit for her dialogue,
and one shit for her story.
But don't you think it was exactly like the cartoon?
No, it don't.
Really?
dialogue and one shit for a story. But don't you think it was exactly like the cartoon?
No, it don't. Really? Because
so comedic patter
has to have a certain sort of timing to it.
A gag that is like
four sentences long to get to a
so that punchline, everybody saw this joke in the ads
where Harley Quinn's like
what's that voices in my head?
I should kill everyone? But all her jokes
were like that. They were like such
reaches for comedy gold.
Yeah, okay.
I'd agree with that.
We're the bad guys.
We're the bad guys.
It's very deep.
She should have just giggled.
Actually, that's what she is in the cartoon, though.
It's not comedy gold, that show.
No, but she hassles people.
She does hassle a lot.
When she was like, I am known to be quite vexing, that was good.
That's a good joke.
That's all right. No, that's classic Harleyley quinn though that's the stuff anyway harley quinn
i just got it oh my god makes so much anyway just really quickly before we get into the episode
there's one thing i forgot to mention in our review episode which hey this is a surprise
part three i guess yes part three yes what did we think of? Alright, alright. Okay, okay, I get it. Please don't keep explaining. I'm not going to.
No, but you fucking do.
Rude.
Bye, Zama.
That's classic douchey though, isn't it?
I'm like, oh, I get it. You're like,
and then we finish my explanation.
For five minutes.
Because sometimes maybe the listener isn't on the same page as you, Jackson.
They always are.
Every podcast is someone's first podcast.
I agree.
This is a bad first podcast.
All right.
Anyway, go on.
Harley Quinn has to be like 50 in Suicide Squad film
because she helped kill Jason Todd,
which the director of Batman v Superman said happened Todd, which the director of Batman v Superman
said happened 10 years before
the events of Batman v Superman.
Harley Quinn has a doctorate, presumably.
That takes about 10 years.
Yeah.
So that's 20 years
and that's out of high school already.
So like that's 38.
So she's doing pretty well for herself no she could be 38 but
she seems younger acid i mean she is literally it also means that she's fucking around with
the joker for 10 years yeah how was she in jail for not 10 years i'm gonna say 10 years 10 years
yeah have to be i have to be i assume that happened after Batman Superman. Like just after.
Batman didn't have guns
on his car in this one though. So was that before?
But Amanda Waller was like, what if Superman punches the
president? I need a guy with boomerangs.
Because fuck, boomerangs.
Superman will never see him coming.
You got bopped in the back of the head.
No, so.
How many do I get? Or can I go to Arkham
basically and Belle Reve,
and be like, give more to me?
Yes.
I'll allow it.
Damn, is that okay?
No.
But yes, you can have all of them.
But that's like 50 at least, right?
Yeah, I need 50.
You want 50?
I'm just curious to see where this is going.
So sometimes.
I'm going to say yes, but I might change my mind.
Sometimes there are dangerous environments that we need things in.
Lava flows.
Big whirlpools.
What are you getting out of a big whirlpool?
Places where there's lots of earthquakes.
I think you're thinking of video game levels.
The lava whirlpool level.
Big cliffs.
It's real dangerous for us to go there.
So instead of getting the Suicide Squad to fight Superman
Because they can't
Just get them to do that
Because if you lose one, whatever, it's not a problem
So what are they doing at a lava flow?
Are they all just kind of pressing up against it?
No, they're not stopping the lava flow
But say there's a group of scientists
They're like, we need a sample of that lava
But it's dangerous for us to go
I'm like, don't worry
I've got my 50 suicide squad.
50 strong.
Are they just disaster relief?
Not disaster relief.
Because I'm not being like, okay, kill a croc.
No one cannibal. Go into that flood
zone. But say
there's a flood happening and we need
something out of a building that
is like a raging flood river.
Just send them across. One will get them.
Okay. It's a brute force
team. That's what we call
them. Brute force.
Brute force.
I just don't see the
need of ever using them.
Also, it's a very specific
scenario.
Mass murderers and psychopaths.
Uh-huh.
That's why no one will mind
if bloody boomerang dies in a lava flow.
Yeah, but like,
I feel like you're going to put them
in a dangerous situation.
They're just going to turn it on you.
I still do the bobs in the neck thing.
I mean, that goes without saying.
Yeah.
I assume that we just,
that was the go.
Everyone has bobs in their head.
Would you have to send someone in with them?
Are you the Rick Flag?
No, I'm the,
I'm not even the Amanda Waller.
I'm the guy who suggests it to Amanda Waller.
You're the two people at the business dinner.
No, because she suggested it to them.
Okay.
I'm the guy who, on the bus, is like,
you're Amanda Waller.
Yeah, exactly.
Before the business dinner.
This would be great.
Send them into lava.
You don't need a Rick Flag in there with the app to press.
You know how phone reception works, yeah?
You have to see them, though. You have to have eyes on them so you have something like
a drone on them I'd like to do it if's like a... Think about this.
Hostage situation.
No, you don't...
Send them in.
You're killing so many hostages.
Because they're just going to turn...
You can't put them in a situation
where it's good guy v. bad guy
because they're just going to
side with the bad guys.
I'm not.
I'm sending them to bad guy v. bad guy.
They're just my bad guys.
Or bad guy v. lava.
I'm fine with you sending
a wave after wave of
criminal at a lava flow
but I just don't see why we would
well because it's better than sending good people
but like I don't know why we'd even send
we lose too many laverologists every year
it's crazy
one scientist
be one killer croc
I get it
let killer croc die
you're explaining the wrong bit.
Okay.
I'm going to pitch this to you.
I'm going to put my Suicide Squad in a cannon
and just shoot them into space.
Why am I doing that?
Because it's safer because they're criminals, I guess.
Because it's safer than shooting one canonologist into space.
I can send a Killer Croc.
Say we've got...
Okay.
What are you kidding?
No, hear me.
Okay, so in South America...
Yes?
There's this stretch of jungle that has these real jagged, sharp rocks.
Steve Irwin went there once.
And we know how that turned out for him.
Fine.
He died later.
But it's like a stress.
Like, Steve Irwin trips, and the rocks are so sharp and jagged
that it cuts his, like, work boot in half. Oh, no. Oh, it's fucked. And there's just pit Sivo and trips and the rocks are so sharp and jagged that it cuts is like work boot in half
Oh, it's fucked and there's just miles of them. Yeah, we don't know what's in there
Okay, but if I got my suicide squad and brute-forced it we get one person across. Okay
scientific endeavors
Endeavors I'm back on board with that's what that's what the site just needed something out of the lava
You were just saying just put them in a whirlpool and see what happens Scientific endeavors I'm back on board with. That's what the lavaologist needed something out of the lava.
You were just saying, just put them in a whirlpool and see what happens.
And there's an item I need.
Just put them in a whirlpool.
Like they did Twister.
Dump them in, see what you get.
Ah, Twister's so shit.
1996 was a rough time for them. An amazing film.
We've never had a good tornado film.
I'll say it.
No.
That one
That came out
Like two years ago
That was alright
With the guy from The Hobbit?
Yeah
I haven't seen it
It's alright
People get trapped in like a
Broken down building
They nearly drown
It's hectic
But
Sounds like a job
For
Yes
Send him in
One will work
The only problem
I can see
Uh huh
Is that I have a finite amount of villains.
You're just going to keep arresting people.
That's the thing.
You're just going to make sure
that you've got your Batman out there.
That's true.
And make sure he's not the murdering Batman
that exists in this universe.
How does Batman have a rogues gallery at all?
Well, I see they're all in Belle Reve and Arkham.
No, but that's what I mean.
He's killing henchmen.
Why isn't he killing...
Why didn't he just let
Harley Quinn drown?
It seems like that Batman
would be fine with it.
Yeah.
He should have punched her
in the face and swum off.
That's what he should have done.
Gotcha.
That was a good bit.
That punch in the face
underwater.
Yeah, that was alright.
Okay, there's four things.
Nah, that's not...
One.
One good thing.
Do you know what I'm sick
of hearing about
Suicide Squad movie
this is gonna be
a bum in the death star
but also
fuck this movie
yeah
when people are like
oh it's really accurate
to the comic book
it's a real comic book
movie
no it's not
it's not at all
I would say the character's
situation is not
Ang Lee Hulk is more
of a better comic book
movie than this movie
didn't you see
the cartoon introductions
that was the worst
it's like a comic book.
That's my favourite part of a comic book,
the stats page of each hero.
I'm really excited to read this Batman comic book.
Marvel did that in the 90s
with a fold-out cover on the back of it
where you had the people who were appearing in that comic
and their stats.
That's what Marvel did in the fucking 90s.
That is kind of cool.
In the 90s. That is kind of cool. Yeah.
In the 90s.
In the 90s.
Yeah.
Everyone, guns and pockets.
I think it's real funny that Suicide Squad was like,
all right, look, not everybody knows the backstory,
or the powers of Captain Boomerang.
Give him like a stat page, and someone's like,
give him a backstory too.
No, no, no.
Someone's like, mm.
Have him explain it as well.
How about this?
We need basically five times a stats page.
Yeah, good.
Which only on screen for like a split second that no one's going to read.
It was really quick.
Good.
Also, he robbed every bank in Australia.
I know.
That was the best.
I tried to look, because I did a video on this,
and I tried to look up every bank, and I'm like, I can't.
There's too many.
Like, this will take me hours.
But does that mean, like, because sometimes you're on a street,
and there's like, say, a bank in Melbourne on one corner.
Yeah. And a Commonwealth on the other.
Does that mean that one weekend... Well, that's why Boomerang, that's...
He just sort of, like, came into one...
And clearly, what I love about that, the most about that,
is that he got us because he moved to America.
He did, yeah.
He moved to America, but then he gets shipped back from Australia.
Exactly, because he's in the bag, the Australia Post bag.
So is that, like, this will be funny. Is that how we sent him over? Just shipped him over? No, because he's in America. No, because he's in the bag, the Australia post bag. So is that like, this will be funny.
Is that how we sent him over?
Just shipped him over?
No, because he's in America.
No, he was caught in the US.
He was too.
And then he got shipped in an Australia post bag.
In the world of Suicide Squad and the DC extended universe,
is Australia just like in an economic depression
because Boomerang stole from all our bags?
Are we fucked?
Currency doesn't exist anymore. Yeah, currency is worthless because Boomerang got us good. Son of Are we fucked? Currency doesn't exist anymore.
Yeah, currency is worthless because Boomerang got us good.
Son of a bitch.
Goddamn Jai Kali.
He cannot deal with Boomerang in Australia.
Is that why he left?
Because he robbed us and therefore money had no meaning?
And then Australia went back to a barter system?
This is the reckless Kelly sequel we all wanted.
We finally got it.
He's a true-name Kelly, Captain Boomerang.
Anyway, that's what I'd use the Suicide Squad for.
Put him in a whirlpool.
No.
Scientific endeavor.
Lava whirlpools, sharp rocks.
All right.
How about, instead, chores around the house?
That's what I was thinking.
Yeah.
Whose house?
Anyone's.
Mine.
I'd hire them out, like Jim's.
You know?
Suicide Squad's mowing.
Would you?
Sorry, go.
I was going to be like,
what's going to stop Harley Quinn hitting me with a mallet?
Bomb in the head.
Would you cater the tasks to specific squad members?
Of course.
The problem with your drainage, send in Killer Croc.
Right, right, right.
No, but the typical drainage of like a suburban home is just pipes.
It's not a big sewer.
You'd be like, Killer Croc, get in there.
He'd just be underneath the sink like...
Yeah, that's true. He's not a plumber, is he? Killer Croc get in there He'd just be underneath the sink Like Yeah that's true He's not a plumber is he
Yeah exactly
I'm not trained for this
What was that
I bring out my iPhone
You're like
What was that Killer Croc
I'll fix the plumber
Do you give the power
To the person
Who you're renting them out to
Of course
Love it
Are you sure
Is that safe
How about a fail safe
As in a buddy system.
As if they press it, I also have to press it.
So I get a notification and I can call up like,
oh, what happened?
Well, he's doing this.
He's strangling me.
Then we press it.
He ate my baby.
Oh, then we press.
Boom.
Boom.
There we go.
Are you just using the suicide squad from the film?
Yeah, like Boomerang can mow my lawns.
He could.
Wouldn't even give him a mower. It's all right. Yeah, like Boomerang can mow my lawns. He could. Wouldn't even give him a mower.
It's all right, I'll pay him a beer to mow my lawns.
One, if he drinks two, dead.
Then I'm pressing that one.
Absolutely.
What was that?
How many beers?
Boomerang?
Oh, boom.
Do you think people should have to pay a fee
if they kill one of your Suicide Squad members?
Because otherwise people would just be like,
just kill him and be like, oh, get out of this.
That's true. Someone that maybe Killer Crocs like, just kill him and be like, oh, get out of this.
Someone that maybe Killer Croc's eight,
like their husband or wife or something,
could be like,
yeah, let's hire Killer Croc for my plumbing.
Oh, bomb in the head.
That's right.
Also, what if people are just like,
this is dark, actually,
but I'm going to go with it
because it's not a saying.
People are just like,
I've always wanted to kill a man.
Yeah, exactly.
Well, then they've got to pay the insurance.
That's fine.
They can kill a Killer Croc.
Kill a Killer Croc. Kill a Killer Croc. That's my debut single. But then they've got to pay the insurance that's fine they can kill a killer croc kill a killer croc
kill a killer croc
that's my debut single
but then they've got nothing to lose
if they're getting hired out to be murdered
they'll turn on you regardless
unless you don't tell them
well of course not
why would you tell us
you're right
that's silly James
bombs in the neck while they sleep
but hang on
so let me pitch a scenario to you
yes
you've got Katana.
Does she have a bomb in her neck?
No, she doesn't. She's not a member, technically.
I'll put a bomb in her head, so yes.
She's a good guy. Katana, you're like,
I need Katana to, I don't know,
chop my hedges.
Steal the soul from my hedge.
Put my soul's edge in her soul.
That never happened in the movie, did you notice?
She stole her soul for a bit
that was alright
somebody pointed out
to me
did she kill a bunch
of those mushroom
lads or no
yeah she did
in the trailer
you see her absorb
souls but she doesn't
do it in the actual
movie
this like extended
director's cut
must be amazing
it's gonna be so good
it's gonna be 8 hours
long
somebody pointed out
to me that the only
person who kills
another human being
in that movie
is Amanda Waller
yeah she kills
like 4 guys.
Four FBI agents.
Four FBI agents in the back.
For no reason.
Thanks for your help.
Bang, bang, bang, bang.
They didn't have clearance.
Why were they here, Amanda?
Isn't that fucked?
None of the bad guys, the villains.
Joker kills one human.
He kills Monster T.
He does too.
That classic character. Oh, everyone's. The kills one human. He kills Monster T. He does too. That classic character.
Monster T.
Oh, everyone's.
The tattooed man or whatever.
When the plane gets, no, the helicopter blows up.
Which one?
Which one of the three?
The one with Joker's henchmen.
A bunch of Joker's buds die.
Oh, yeah, I guess you're right.
That's a good guy shooting them down again.
Yeah.
Batman has killed more people in this universe than the Joker has.
Yeah, he has.
That's stressful.
That's foolish.
No, so let me pitch a scenario.
Katana's chopping your hedges.
She's absorbed their souls.
Hedges.
Yep.
And then the person whose house it is comes out, maybe with some lemonade, places it down,
they turn around to walk back in the house.
There!
Neck cut off.
Katana runs.
Yeah.
You don't find out.
Uh-huh.
Well, when I have to go collect her.
You're going to arrive, you're going to arrive and be like
but if Katana then smashes the bomb
phone
I'm pretty sure every bomb
oh the bomb phone but they'll have one
I've got one overriding one
Rick Flag has one and Amanda Waller has one
in the film because Rick Flag crushes his
and that's when Captain Boomerang fucks off
for no scenes because he's just in the next one
he's in the next one yeah
goes for a piss or whatever drones as well his and that's when Captain Boomerang fucks off for no scenes because he's just in the next one. He's in the next one, yeah. That's a classic.
Goes for a piss or whatever. Drones as well.
Alright, some surveillance drones
that are always hovering there.
This is going to be a fucking expensive mowing service.
Yeah. I'd like to get someone to
mow my lawns. Oh, Suicide Squad's mowing, that sounds
alright. Ten grand.
It's for a guy that could probably
kill you.
Why is it so expensive? Just drone costs.
Drones are getting pretty cheap, aren't they?
They're pretty cheap.
Look, if I get an iPhone and just strap it to a drone I can buy from an Apple store,
because you can do that now.
What a world we live in.
Yeah.
That's like what?
500 bucks for once off?
I'm going to go cheaper.
Every Suicide Squad member has to hold a selfie stick
Done
Drop the stick and die
Yeah
Yeah, that's clever
Thank you
That's clever
And also humiliating
And humiliating
What if I get a helmet?
Like the helmet with the
No, no, no
It has to point in though, right?
Yeah, yeah
Oh wait, so a helmet with the selfie stick attached to it?
Yeah, yeah, in front of the face
Now we're doing it the face no no no
coming up under like this
so that you can watch
their like
stupid
like the bad angle
of their stupid faces
yeah alright
I laugh at them
as they go
so there you go
how do you have
those burned in
down your house
so my only real issues
are that I don't see
why anyone would
choose this over
Jim's moment
Jim's a novelty
you might get to kill a dad.
Yeah.
That's pretty good.
And also, again, if, say, Killer Croc ate your wife and or husband
and you get to watch him mow the lawns.
Well, I guess that's good.
Or do your draining or whatever.
Whatever you want KK for.
Because that's like...
KC?
CC.
KC.
KC.
CC is a kind of chip.
Yeah, and then there's a bit of a humiliation thing.
Yeah, they do.
Right.
That is good.
That is good.
Okay, yeah, fair enough.
There's a lesson in that also, I guess.
Sure.
It's not important though, is it, really?
It's the kind of thing you could call rehabilitation
and no one would really mind.
Exactly.
Plus, if I'm calling it rehab,
then I'm probably getting some government grants.
Yeah, that's true.
Then I'm getting money.
All about them kickbacks.
Yeah, sending them sweet, sweet government kickbacks.
You can buy drones.
Look at me making money.
You idiot Jackson science.
I'm helping science.
That's true, you are.
I'm torn between like menial tasks like getting chewing gum
off the bottom of chairs and stuff.
Yeah, that's good.
Or going the extreme like giving them something
where they'll definitely die because they're all terrible.
Like why not just kill them?
Don't even keep them alive.
Just kill them.
That's good.
You know how, like, in Thailand and some places,
they'll, like, roll out a cow
and you can shoot it with a rocket launcher?
Just shit like that.
Yes!
And I'm not for that.
That's fucking horrible.
But there's a crocodile man who's been eating people.
Yeah.
Like, if I was in Thailand and they were like,
That's the best use for suicide squad.
Big game hunting.
Jackson, would you like to hunt
a crocodile man?
He's eaten babies.
I'd be like,
oh, yes, please.
Fuck yes.
Where do I sign up?
Hunting man.
Slash man crocodile.
Absolutely.
In their natural environment
or you put like
croc in a desert.
He's like,
oh, this is really...
Real dry.
Because these guys are killers.
Yeah.
So you'd have to have a disadvantage.
Put them all in the desert desert They'd have to, yeah
Ever seen that wonderful John Leguizamo movie The Pest?
No
Where a rich man basically hires John Leguizamo so he can hunt him
Oh, The Greatest Game of All, the book
Yes
Yeah, that's a great book
Basically what The Pest is
So yeah, let's do that
I read more books than I watch movies
I'm one of those guys, It's not a big deal.
It's just fine.
Yeah, yeah.
That's good.
I feel like if I was hunting the Suicide Squad,
I would want to make it more special than just hunting regular men.
Right.
I feel like I want Deadshot to have not a gun,
but you know what I mean?
A BB gun.
A boomerang.
I want Captain Boomerang to have a boomerang
so that it feels like
I'm not just hunting
oh no
like a bloke
I'm pretty sure
they would kill you
real easily
what if you give him
a bad boomerang
yeah yeah
like a rigged one
he's gonna kill you
because he's probably
gonna like just
force down your throat
or something
well you know like those
when you
bullfighting right
you stab the bull
you make him sick
and then you send him out
and then you're like
aha look at me
defeating this bull.
Or like a better version, Gladiator, when Maximus gets poisoned and or stabbed.
It's been a while since I've seen that film.
Outrageous.
Right.
So that.
And so he's already half wounded.
You're fighting a weakened suicide squad.
Yeah.
With a rifle from the back of a jeep.
Yeah.
But I think there'd be money in big game hunters.
Because there's lunatics who love love this shit, who'd go,
you have to hunt the best guy,
and nobody's ever beaten him, so
it costs this amount of money, sign these forms,
and then you'll probably die,
but, you know,
if you beat him,
there would be people lining up
to do that. Then you get rid of,
A, those big game hunter crazy
sons of bitches, And then maybe some
suicide squad.
Maybe the suicide squad.
And again, you have
like instead of like,
oh, I've got a phone.
You have a perimeter
that if they go beyond
it, it blows up.
I feel like that's
less suicide squad and
more just murder squad
because there's no way
the big game hunters
are winning.
Well, I mean,
against some.
Okay, dead shot.
Oh, you know what's
going to happen?
He's going to sneak
onto the van that
they're on and take
a gun.
Everyone's dead. Yeah, dead shot. But like what's going to happen? He's going to sneak onto the van that they're on, take a gun, everyone's dead.
Yeah, dead shot, but like...
Harley Quinn will seduce them and then just bludge them to death.
I'm pretty...
I'd shoot her.
Yeah.
Straight up.
Like, if you're a big game hunter going in there to shoot a Harley Quinn,
you're not going to be like, no, I'm going to fuck this.
I'm like, hey, I'm going to go and try and hunt this lion.
Ooh, it's giving me the eyes.
That's right, yeah.
Ooh, look at that long. Well, Simon, you've never been to Africa. That's true, I guess I'm going to go and try and hunt this lion. Ooh, it's giving me the eyes. That's right. Ooh, look at that lion.
Well, Simon, you've never been to Africa.
That's true.
I guess I haven't.
Lions are sexy.
Maybe.
I don't know unless I'm in that situation.
That's true.
I guess, actually, and I guess in the film Suicide Squad, Harley Quinn tries that and
she ends up getting electrocuted.
Yeah.
That's true.
Electric shock because she doesn't know.
I feel like she's got away with that a lot, though.
Like, they knew that was coming because she does it every day.
Who else is in the Suicide Squad?
Fucking Boomerang.
That's just a lad.
He'd be drunk as well.
Easy to shoot.
Yeah, he would be easy to shoot.
You can get Boomerang.
El Diablo's only scary if he's on fire.
Which he probably would be.
Or he'd just be embracing death.
Depends where in his story arc he is.
Who else is in that?
I should know.
I just saw it.
Enchantress would be hard.
Fuck that.
She's a Satan. That's a Satan child. hard fuck that she's a Satan that's a Satan child
did you say she's a Satan
yeah
she's a witch
yeah
it's a lesser Satan
that's fair
either way
is Rick Flagg in there
no
nah
you would have had Rick Flagg
as a visual
dang
that's like a trick
if you
you got a big game on
if you shoot him you lose it's like in a video game oh trick if you got a big game on if you shoot him
you lose
it's like in a video game
you lose a lot
it's yeah
like that game
point blank
yeah
if you shoot yourself
mine is alive
same with Katana
you gotta avoid her
yeah
what about Slipknot
he just kills himself
what are Slipknot's powers
he climbs well
he has
he can climb anything
a lot of people can climb anything.
A lot of people can climb anything.
He does.
He pretty much always even do his shooter grappling hook very similar to what Batman has him in.
Yeah.
Also, I love that it was because it was very slow as well.
It was.
It was real slow.
The same line up. He was very still when he was doing it.
It was like almost like they cut him out.
Like a Mario jump.
Yeah.
What the hell?
That was an odd moment. That's not really a power. What a good movie, eh? Like a Mario jump. Yeah. What the hell? That was an odd moment.
That's not really a power.
What a good movie, eh?
What a good movie, guys.
I'll see it again every weekend.
Can we capture the Joker
and put him in the
big game hunter thing?
Because that'd be fun.
I think he'd be hard to wrangle.
I think there's a reason
he's not on the team.
True.
Because he's not in jail,
which is the first one.
That being said,
I don't know anything
about this Joker
because he was only there
for like eight minutes. I mean, like, we know that he's very in jail Which is the first one That means that I don't know anything about this Joker Because he was only there for like 8 minutes
I mean like
We know that he's very intense
Because Jared Leto committed sex crimes
Or whatever
And we know that the sex crimes of an actor
Influence the quality of their performance
Yeah
Generally
Because metal acting is the most pure form of acting
And it's not just like
Well actually
This Joker yeah
Because he was a sex criminal
This Joker definitely yeah I'd love to a sex criminal. This Joker, definitely, yeah.
I'd love to shoot Jesse Eisenberg Lex Luthor.
Like, put him on the team.
Yeah.
Because he's not physical, is he?
No.
And he'd be trying to stop you by shoving Jolly Ranchers in your mouth.
That's right.
That's all he'd be doing.
Fuck, that scene was so good.
That's my favorite scene about him.
Really?
I love that scene.
Yeah.
So weird. Jesse Eisenberg. Oh, Lex Luthor's a better Joker than the Joker
and the Joker is a better black mask
than the Joker
what?
he wears a skull
he's like a Batman villain but he's just like
an angry mobster which is basically
what the Joker was this time round
has Batman ever fought a rapist I mean let me the Joker because that is what this
Joker was the better one of them really really really interested to see how
they're even gonna square this joke crop with Batman because Ben Affleck's Batman
is so serious of this joke is not funny or anything just garbage did you know
like we were saying before the film came out,
that he's got the smile on his...
Yeah, hand.
And then he did it in the first eight scenes he's in.
Yeah, but he didn't do anything with it.
He was like, ha-ha.
And then there was an awkward moment,
and then he would take it off like, gotcha.
It was even worse when he put it in front of his own face.
You're like, what?
I can't hear what you're saying anymore, buddy.
I wouldn't remember this.
He's like, bah-bah, in front of his own face, and're like, what? I can't hear what you're saying anymore, buddy. I don't even remember this. He's like,
in front of his own face
and the other guy is like...
Is this with Monster T?
Yeah, Monster T is just like, okay.
Why did he kill that guy either?
Because he was like,
I don't want your lady.
He was like, have sex with my lady.
No.
And he killed her.
I'm going to shoot you.
Maybe you should have.
Quality film.
Anyway.
That's a reasonable scene to write
and then give to a
group of writers to rewrite
then to film, to act in
nobody to direct
to edit
to add a film score next to.
Nobody watching that should have been
like, what is the point
of any of this?
Why don't we become carpenters?
You're reverse Harrison Ford.
I feel like everyone involved in DC movies,
they just have a crew of 100 just on the side of each seat just clapping
because it's the only way.
Well, apparently Batman and Superman got a standing ovation
when they screened it for the DC Warner Brothers.
I guess they were just too busy with their copious amounts of drugs in front of them.
That's absolute horseshit to be like,
we made this and we love it.
It's amazing.
We show people who fucking are so close to it.
Anyway, so all right.
What are we doing?
Big game hunting, suicide squad.
I'm a fan.
Dusha, what do you got?
What would you do with this squad?
See, I was going to put bombs in their head
and then leave them in jail
so that when they break out of Arkham,
I just blow up the bombs. That's pretty good, actually. No, but you might get Batman. Like, if was going to put bombs in their head and then leave them in jail so that when they break out of Arkham, I just blow up the bombs.
That's pretty good, actually. No, but you might get Batman.
Like, if he's waiting on the outside,
Harley Quinn runs out, he attacks her, and you're like, got him!
Batman's a vigilante.
That's kind of two birds with one stone.
Yeah, that's not on you.
You didn't put him out there. Yeah, actually.
If he wasn't vigilante-ing
about, he wouldn't be in jail.
Can I put a bomb in Batman's head?
It's actually a good
way to get Batman.
Have the Suicide Squad
attack Batman blow him
up all at once.
Yeah.
How big is the bomb
though because when
Slipknot's head exploded
it just kind of
popped off.
It was only as big as
like a rice grain or
something.
And in Assault on
Arkham when KG
Beast's head blows up
it literally just pops
off pretty much.
Yeah.
Yeah. You're not gonna get Batman. You'll be fine. No that's that's fine. It literally just pops off pretty much. Yeah, you're not going to get Batman.
He'd be fine. No, that's fine.
No, because Arkham's got an open door policy.
Arkham is a terrible whatever it's meant to be.
Villain house. Okay, how expensive are those bombs?
20 bucks.
I'd be putting them in every single
person in Arkham. I'm putting heaps in them.
Just tons. I'm going to be like, Harley, put these in Arkham. I'm putting heaps in them. Just tots.
I'm going to be like, Harley Quinn, put these in your pockets.
Put these in your hat.
It's my use of
just free up jail space, I guess.
Like, oh, you're out.
Well, that's that dog.
I feel like there's money in putting them in limbs
and you pick the part you want to explode.
I don't know how. I think there's something in that.
Harley Quinn without legs.
How about?
With that, we put them in limbs.
Or joints, actually.
And then we make it
like a Big Brother-esque
televised event.
Welcome TV.
Sometimes you go a bit
too far and you go a bit too far
and you become a bad guy by trying to do good.
Uh-huh.
I feel like...
What if we also have a bomb in our neck?
I feel like you may be tiptoeing.
What if we torture him?
Yeah, that's good.
So I'll put a bomb in my neck,
and if I think I'm going too far,
I'll blow my head off.
I'll be the first one to stop myself.
You're like, what if we televised their torture?
Ah!
I went too far.
It didn't work. Oh, Hunger Games
them. Hunger Games them!
That's pretty, yeah.
Whoever wins, free.
Deadshot wins. Free?
Ten years off the sentence.
Nah, ten years off the sentence for every other person
they kill.
Because if a Deadshot takes 50 down, like five down, that's 50 off.
But then if he gets shot, then we just get a sneaky five dead inmates,
or six dead inmates, really.
I mean, they're going to escape anyway.
Yeah.
Why not move Arkham while they're sleeping,
put it in the middle of a Hunger Games arena when they wake up and break out.
Surprise, you're in a game now.
And if they refuse to, like, cooperate, bomb in the head.
Poor Riddler.
Wait.
Actually, poor everyone but maybe Deadshot and Killer Croc.
Yeah, really.
King Shark.
King Shark.
He's a king.
And Deathstroke.
Deathstroke.
Deathstroke.
Deathstroke.
Deathstroke has such a nebulous power set.
Yeah.
He's just real good.
He's so great.
Okay.
I feel like Deadshot's still going to win really easily, because none of them are impervious
to bullets.
It depends what you put in the arena and how close, because in Hunger Games, you've got
to run for a thing.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, that's true.
You start off in the middle.
Get your weapons.
On a platform, if you step off the platform, bomb in your head.
Done.
Hmm?
All right. No guns. Yeah, there you step off the platform, bomb in your head, done.
No guns.
Yeah, there you go.
Or bats.
No guns or bats or boomerangs.
They have to kind of makeshift everything.
Boots, that's it.
Okay.
Captain Boomerang can have a thong because I feel like that'll feel more natural to him.
Yeah, I agree.
Harder to move around, but better in the long run chop the fucking foam into the shape of the boomerang i'm backing
captain boomerang in this now in this fight yeah fair deadshot make deadshot's too serious he'll
just be like what the fuck is and then he'll be dead because yeah we're too busy questioning it
he'd be like what are we some kind of hunger games? Squad? Correct.
And plus he wouldn't shoot Harley.
Oh yeah,
that's true.
No, he wouldn't.
Because he doesn't kill
women or children.
Unlike El Diablo
who doesn't care.
Except for when he does care.
Or he does care.
But then he doesn't care.
Do show.
You own that, okay?
You own the fact
you murdered babies.
Yeah, that was...
Because that...
Sure.
Alright.
That was a perfectly fine scene
for people to write.
Direct.
Direct.
Have a hundred...
Someone edited it.
Someone showed a test screening.
Several takes of that.
And look at it and be like,
what the fuck is she saying?
And then a hundred people
stood up on the side of the set
and clapped.
Good job.
You're doing great.
I think everybody
except one person behind them.
You're doing great.
You're amazing. Jared, maybe everybody except one person behind them. You're doing great. You're amazing.
Jared, maybe you should send them more condoms.
Maybe that's the problem.
Every decision you make is gone.
Are these ripped?
I know you're going to send them in pig's head,
but maybe just send them a whole pig.
I think that's what the Joker would do.
That's acting.
Give one of your assistants, I mean, your henchmen.
Call them your henchmen call them your henchmen they love it
hey Jared
I'm gonna call you
Mr. J
who are you
you in character yet buddy
are you loving this
are you the Joker now
fuck you
you doing this for six months
okay
and then you just
occasionally do it
in interviews
and then claim that it's funny
because that's real good
what do you reckon
would have happened had Jared Leto gotten the role of Captain Boomerang?
I think he would have bloody nailed it.
I ate meat pies every day.
I sent my crewmates didgeridoos.
That's the thing.
I want Jared Leto to be cast now.
His next movie role to be something just like a regular dude.
Oh, yeah, like Captain Boomerang.
And if he doesn't method act, he's going to jail
because he committed crimes on this set.
Method acting doesn't hold up if you're fucking picky and choosy.
Well, he did the method acting for that one where he played John Lennon's assassin.
Yeah, but he didn't shoot any.
That's right.
And then he did method acting for the next one.
Didn't he play Dallas Buyers Club?
Oh, yeah, he did.
I haven't seen it. He played... I didn't download it because, you know, yeah, he did. Yeah, he was. I haven't seen it.
He played.
I didn't download it because, you know, the copyright thing happened.
Apparently that got all squared away.
I think only like three people ended up having to pay the fine.
Thank God.
I dodged it all.
I watched it.
I thought I'd have gone to jail too.
Everyone's in jail now.
This podcast is live from jail.
Oh, no. Bob is here now. Get him in. Download it, Dallas Buyers Club. jail too yeah everyone's in jail now this podcast is live from jail downloaded dollar spies club so i think yes that's the best use of a suicide squad is to hunger game them or menial tasks or science yeah i think science wins well that's ethical isn't it
mine's the only one that was using them yours was was just hurting them. I was like, what can I do with this resource?
What can I do with this resource?
What can I do with this resource of the Suicide Squad?
Further science.
You guys were like, let's just make them sad.
No, I was like, that's free jail space.
You were using them to perform tasks.
To chop wood.
Yeah, that's correct.
You were just shooting them in Africa.
I wasn't shooting them.
I don't condone it.
I just think it's a great idea.
It's a good business venture.
I don't set it all up.
Yeah, look.
I'm just projections.
It's like the guy who bought the AIDS drug.
He's like, listen, that's the industry, man.
It's not me.
It's not whatever.
I'm not a piece of shit.
I'm just a businessman.
Anyway, I think I won.
Yeah, I'll give it to you.
Fine.
Yes.
It's another one.
Chalk it up on the wall.
One.
That's it.
That's the only time you've ever won one of these.
And on that note, I've been Joel.
I've been Jackson.
I've also been Joel.
I've also been James.
Clever.
And we've been a suicide squad.
Well, if I have to fucking watch that movie again, I sure will be.
You'll watch the extended cut though, right?
You'll have to.
You know what?
Honestly, I picked up the Batman v Superman Ultimate Cut on Blu-ray in a store like two days ago.
And I honestly thought about buying it.
And then I was like, wait, what am I doing?
And then I put it back down.
Suicide Squad will probably get me though.
Probably not.
But you hear that there's so much that was shot of the Joker,
we can...
We'll only see when he dies, apparently.
We can almost get a whole movie about Jared Leto's Joker,
which I will never want to see.
You're not curious to be like, what insanity?
He'll be like, acting, this is acting.
This is my best acting.
You don't want to see that?
I hope it's more of him just playing a mobster.
I hope it's more of him just playing the straightest
most normal Joker there is.
He's pretty much just Cesar Romero at this
point. Yeah. No, but even Cesar Romero
was goofy at least. I didn't get
a sense of him, to be honest. I just didn't
I was like, I was like nothing. I was like, is he
I don't know what he is. Can you describe
Jared Leto's Joker without talking about Jared Leto?
And you're talking about physical
talking about Jared Leto. Joker without talking about Jared Leto and you're talking about physical talking about
I am
Jared Leto
his Joker was a sex pest
his Joker was just
erotic
he wasn't a sex pest
and you're talking
not physically
not physically
what was his deal
highly sexual
yeah
that's good
he was highly sexual
slippery
I don't know
crazy
he was slippery
um
damaged
um hey tattoos has probably like upset I don't know. Crazy. It was slippery. Damaged.
Tattoos. Has probably like a obsessive nature kind of thing.
How'd you get that?
Because you know how he put all the knives meticulously around him?
One track kind of.
And he's after Harley.
He's like, this is my thing I'm doing.
So you think he set up those knives?
Yeah.
Do you think he was like, fellas, hey, it's me, the Joker
Secure that room for me
Because I intend over the next hour or so
To make like a ring of knives that I'm just gonna yell in
I don't know, I just think the whole thing is dumb
I don't think anybody does that for any reason
He was such a sad boy Joker too
Fuck him off, get rid of him
I would say obsessive, highly sexual
And a little bit of a sad boy.
The perfect Joker.
The three qualities of a Joker.
Sad, sexual, obsessive.
Do you think there's any people that are like, he's a sexy looking guy?
Oh, heaps.
Really?
Heaps of people are like, oh my God, sexiest Joker ever.
The day after the screen. Jack Nichol oh my god sexiest Joker the day after
this
Jack Nicholson
is the sexiest
Joker
clearly
he has such a
big gun
he's real wide
he's so wide
and so old
such a big gun
though and he
shoots down a
plane and that's
mad
yeah
but yeah
my Facebook feed
was full of people
being like Jared
Leder is the
best actor of
the world
and I was like
like every single one.
Yeah, good.
Because that's just.
