Official podcast of comicbookmovie.com
Where we talk movies, comics, games, TV shows.
My name is James,
also known as Mr. Sunday.
With me as always
is my co-host, Nick Mason.
I said games.
We're not talking games this week.
No, one day we will.
Stop me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
On a very rare occasion
we talk about our game
in passing.
Not a recent game.
No.
I can't remember that game
in the Omega 500
from 1991.
And I don't
and you describe it
in great detail.
Yeah. And people just switch off and you describe it in great detail.
And people just switch off by the thousands.
That's okay, though.
You know what?
I feel like I should check back in with comicbookmovie.com because I say official,
but I haven't spoken to anybody who runs that site
in maybe six months.
Anyway, that's the story for another day.
And also, we're the official podcast of the comic book movie,
I feel, by default.
Right. Well, at the time, just because we were the official podcast of the comic book movie, I feel, by default.
Right.
Well, at the time, just because we were the only one.
Yes.
At this point, there could be hundreds.
Potentially.
All of which are more official than us.
That's right.
It's a little badge.
But that's okay.
Okay, Mason, you know what some people don't think is okay, but then thought, maybe it is okay.
We saw the new picture of Superman from Supergirl, and you had some stuff to say about his butt, specifically.
You texted me and you said,
I've got some stuff to say.
The great Tyler Herklin.
Herklin?
I assume he's great, I don't know.
Yeah, because we got an official released photo.
We did.
And people are like,
why are his eyes pointing different directions?
What's with his tiny fish head?
What's going on?
It's not a good photo at all.
No, it's not. And also because I think we're used to when whenever i think of superman supergirl together i think of like and the
deniverse like the animated series and when with those characters like you get the superman's
always like all the all the male characters are like massively broad v-shape right they're all
twice as wide as the all the female characters and but with this it's like he's like six inches
taller sure and the same width right but also we're spoiled for choice not spoiled for choice as all the female characters. But with this, it's like, he's like six inches taller
and the same width.
Right.
But also we're spoiled for choice.
Not spoiled for choice,
but we've been spoiled by Henry Cavill's amazing physique.
And that's an insane kind of...
Yeah, and that's movie budget costume.
Yeah, that's right.
It's pretty good.
Look, I was like, yeah, we'll see.
And then the actual on-set photos look much better.
He looks a lot better, right?
Hang on, I'll show you.
I don't know in what context this is,
but this is a photo of him.
It's some sort of selfie situation.
Okay.
It looks great.
He does look great smiling, yeah.
That's more Superman-y.
Well, look, as with all these things,
you've got to kind of wait until they're in motion.
You know what I mean?
So let's just see how it goes.
What do you think of the shoulder stuff?
I'm not in love with it.
Not in love with it.
Interesting.
I was hoping you'd be in love with it, but you're not.
Well, look, I can't be in love with everything.
Do you want me to break up with it for you like you made me do for your last girlfriend?
If you could.
Yeah.
That didn't happen, by the way.
No.
Though I have done that for somebody once.
Huh.
Oh, that's a story for another day.
By another day, do you mean as soon as we switch the podcast off,
you're going to tell me?
Okay, great.
And also the biggest talking point was a lot of people on my Twitter feed
were like, look at his butt.
I didn't see his butt.
What about it?
It's like, it's very prominent.
Good.
Yeah.
That's what you want.
Yeah.
Because a lot of times-
Have they patted his butt?
Good question. Have they patted it? If you get knocked on your butt, which he does quite a bit- yeah that's what you want yeah because a lot of times and they're like have they padded his butt good question
have they padded it
if you get knocked on your
if you get knocked on your butt
which he does quite a bit
you need some padding
you need some padding
doomsday hits you
you need some padding on your butt
and also some sort of
armour plating in your chest
definitely
because he might
spear you to death
spoiler alert
which reminds me
we did a commentary
we did
we did a commentary
for Batman V Superman
Dawn of Justice
super extended
ultimate edition
three hours three hours against our will correct no we did it was fine it was it was actually i
really enjoyed doing it uh you had some issues didn't you look i tried to be as i tried to go
in as positive as i could i'm like maybe i'll maybe i'll on second viewing of this movie i'll
find some positive and you did about an hour two yeah and you just something snapped in your brain
so if you're a big fan of this movie, that's fine.
You're wrong, but it's cool.
But it is fine.
You may not enjoy this commentary.
No.
The last 15, 20 minutes of me is just me going,
oh, this is bad.
This is so bad, I hate it.
But that being said, some people have listened to it and said,
look, I do enjoy the movie, but I also enjoy the commentary.
But it takes all types in the world, Mason, that's what's important you know what else is important the
female-led rocketeer sequel sequel so when you said when you said what else is important you
meant the next bit of news you've got right now i had to check what that was that was the
the most important thing okay when's the last time we got a rocketeer anything oh good question mason
yeah this takes me back to one of the early episodes
of the show where i swore i saw an a non-animated rocketeer panel to panel show as a child on on
television and it does not exist like well but i know i've seen it okay if anybody because we've
got a bigger audience now so if anybody has seen so it is. Okay, so it's basically a Rocketeer comic.
And it's voiced, but it doesn't move.
It's just 10 seconds of this panel, some people talking, 10 seconds of this panel.
It's like a motion comic, but with no motion.
Correct.
And it was on... Or a motion.
It was shit house.
And it was on free-to-air Australian TV.
It was on Agro's Cartoon Connection.
In the 90s.
Yes.
Yeah.
And I...
I don't know.
Agro was a very sexually aggressive bathmat puppet
that the children looked up to in the 90s.
Look him up on YouTube.
There's like a reel of him, like an outtakes thing,
and there's a bad bloke under that puppet, basically.
Yeah.
Anyway, if anybody knows what he's talking about.
Please, spare me my...
If this is a symptom
of a particular mental illness,
which I maintain it is,
and you're a doctor
and you know that,
also email in.
It's weird
because everything exists
online.
Everything exists,
but this doesn't.
That means I haven't
checked it in a while.
Anyway,
there's a female-led
Rocketeer sequel.
It's like a sequel reboot.
It's set six years
after the first.
Did that come out in like 91, I want to say, give or take?
Something like that, yeah.
The guy who directed it also directed Captain America, the first one.
And there's a lot of similarities in those movies.
Yeah.
They're both-
Nazis.
Nazis.
That's about it, isn't there?
Rocket.
Rockets.
Rockets.
They were rockets?
Yeah.
America.
Americans.
Timothy Dalton.
Yep.
He was in one of them.
And also, we watched Captain America with him. He was in the cinema. Yep, he was in one of them. And also we watched Captain America with him.
He was in the cinema.
We did, didn't we?
Yeah.
It's not true.
No, it's not true.
I mean, it might have been.
So what's going on here is, what's his name?
The dude, Sikord.
Cliff Sikord, yes.
Cliff Sikord.
Shit name, hard to say.
Should have been Cliff Ripcord.
Agreed.
Yeah.
So he was- Cliff Orkscord. Agreed. Yeah. So he was-
Cliff Orkscord.
Is that the one you put a guitar in?
Is that what that is?
Yeah.
I thought he pronounced that Orks.
Orks.
Okay.
Like a real Orkscord.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
It's in a doorway and you trip on it.
That's a real Orkscord.
That's a bloody Orkscord, mate.
So he vanishes while fighting the Nazis.
Yep.
And then an African-American female pilot takes up the mantle to stop a scientist from
stealing the jetpack technology that could prove the turning point for the Cold War.
But if this is set six years after the last, that would make it set in 1944.
Because I think the first one was set in 38.
Okay.
So what are they talking about Cold War shit for?
Wouldn't they be like to turn the tide of the end of World War II?
Because it's still very much happening. Right. Maybe just one more at a time, gents. Let's sort our shit for? Wouldn't they be like to turn the tide of the end of World War II? Because it's still very much happening.
Right.
Maybe just one more at a time, gents.
Let's sort our shit out first.
Yeah.
Yeah, the first one set in 1938.
There you go.
I was right.
You were right.
I remember liking it that one time I saw it when I was 10 maybe, years after it came out
or during, I don't know.
What do you think of it?
Did Jennifer Connelly make you feel feelings?
I don't remember.
I watched the trailer for it the other day and then I went, I didn't even know Jennifer Connelly make you feel feelings? I don't remember. I watched the trailer for it the other day and then I went,
I didn't even know Jennifer Connelly was in that.
Well.
Good to see that guy, the lead guy in it, whatever his name is,
who ended up being in the OC for a bit.
I don't know his name.
It's Bill Campbell.
Bill Campbell.
Are they related?
Is he related to?
To Jennifer Connelly.
Yes.
I don't think so.
I don't think so.
So what did you think of it though? I really enjoyed it at they. Yes. I don't think so. I don't think so. So what did you think of it, though?
I really enjoyed it at the time.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And the old, the comic books, I don't know, I read one, like, trade paperback, and then
I'm like, this is great.
I should see more.
But Dave Stevens, who made it, released, like, one comic every three years or something like
that.
And that's, like, 30 pages long or whatever.
And then he died.
Yeah. Probably from inactivity. Bloody or whatever. And then he died. Yeah.
Probably from inactivity.
Yeah, probably.
Okay, cool.
Well, look, if it's a good story, I don't care.
It's not a property that I never thought would, everything comes back.
Sure.
But it wasn't on my radar.
If it's a good story, great.
If not, whatever.
Yeah.
So that's that.
Isn't that interesting?
Because we're getting African-American female Rocketeer. Yeah. African-American, that's that. Isn't that interesting? Cause we're getting, we're getting African American female rocketeer.
Yeah.
African American female Iron Man.
Related?
Zeitgeist,
man.
It's the cultural zeitgeist.
You know,
that's what,
that's what the people are demanding.
I guess it is.
African American ladies with rocket things.
Do you think,
do you think a jet pack would turn the tide of a war?
Or do you think like a pretty good plane or say a nuclear weapon?
Yeah, that would almost certainly do it. Yeah. Just a like a pretty good plane or say a nuclear weapon? Yeah, that would almost certainly do it.
Yeah.
Just a guy in a jetpack.
With a nuclear weapon?
Yeah.
Okay.
That would work.
But I mean, ultimately, like, even if you've got like a whole air force, like if you've
got a thousand guys with jetpacks, that's a thousand people just crashing into each
other.
That's right.
Because they are not...
If you watch that rocket, like...
You turn your head and then that's the direction you go. That's the direction you go. not, if you watch that rocket, like, you turn your head
and then that's the direction
you go.
That's the direction you go.
He's,
he's very ill-equipped.
He's the best guy
at being the rocketeer.
Yeah.
And he is,
he's terrible.
That is,
it's,
yeah.
He puts bubble gum on it
at one point
to fix it,
doesn't he?
That goes south.
Anyway,
next thing.
He could fix anything
in the 30s with bubble gum.
He certainly could.
A rocket pack,
a car.
Racism. Exactly. Maybe not could. A rocket pack, a car. Racism.
Exactly.
Maybe not that.
A little orphan boy.
A little spit shine.
Put some chewing gum on his polio.
You know what I don't like about chewing gum?
Oh, no.
No, wait.
No, here comes one of James' famous rants.
The flavor leaves after like a minute, then you got nothing.
You're just chewing a piece of plastic.
Why?
What's the point?
Just eat a good thing.
Like an egg.
Like a good boiled egg.
Good, yeah.
That's my rant.
Okay.
Is that a rant?
Doesn't count that one.
Mason, have you seen the trailer for The Great Wall?
Yes.
And?
There's monsters in it.
Matt Damon is in it.
He's the real monster in a way.
Why?
Because of his ponytail?
Yeah. Yeah yeah fair enough yeah so there's actually some green arrow fan art kind of went around of him
this week it'd be a good green arrow i think yeah okay sure because if him and batman had been doing
it for about the same time they'd be that same age that's true that'd be great yeah okay what
did you think knowing that you didn't like it because it doesn't look very good i didn't hate
it there he is yeah he's back yeah i guess yeah i can't say i because it doesn't look very good. I didn't hate it. There he is. Yeah. He's back.
Yeah, I guess, yeah.
I can't say I hated it.
Yeah.
People are like,
why is Matt Damon in a Chinese film or whatever?
It is a Chinese film.
Right.
I think it's a guy directed like Hero,
which I really like actually.
And I presume they just went,
well, we want to market this everywhere,
so we'll just get Matt Damon and whatever.
Yeah.
Look, there's monsters and that's cool, I guess.
Uh-huh.
What else is in it?
Bows and arrows?
People are throwing shields about.
Good, good.
Throwing shields is the new not throwing shields.
Oh, right.
Yeah.
I remember when people didn't used to throw shields.
All right.
I think I like it better now.
It's good, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Multi-purpose.
I shouldn't shit on it.
It looks fine.
Yeah.
And I won't see it.
And the question, obviously, and we've discussed this before.
It's like, what do you need in Matt Damon?
The international markets.
That's true, but then, you know.
But see, I guess the larger question is, your Matt Damons and whoever's,
they make films that maybe, like they make some hits
and they make some films that, you you know sink like a stone or whatever
right but they keep getting shots sure so why not just throw an asian actor in there but i think the
idea is that there is a lot of like prominent chinese actors and so that will appeal to you
know that audience and then you put matt damon and that appeals to you know the western i think
that's the idea okay sure or they just went do you want 20 million dollars matt damon he went
can i have a ponytail and they went we'll give'll give you $15 if you grow a ponytail.
And he's like, no, all right.
All right.
That's how that went down.
Done deal.
And he checks off having a ponytail in a movie off his bucket list.
Maybe he's had a ponytail.
Surely he would have had a ponytail in another movie set in the 80s, maybe.
I'd have to think about it, Mason, but not right now.
Not right now.
We're going to talk about the next most important bit of news.
Here we go.
Alden Einenreich.
What?
Who's the new Han Solo.
So the new piece of news is just random syllables
struck together.
Correct.
That's right.
Oh, that's right.
He's the new Han Solo.
He's the new Han Solo.
He's the guy everybody expected was going to be the new Han Solo
and then he was.
And then they wheeled him out and everyone went,
yep, we know.
Did they wheel him out in carbonite?
They did, exactly.
Wouldn't that be great?
If they wheeled like a in carbonite yeah wouldn't that be great if they wheeled like they like a like
birthday cake style they wheeled out the hansel in carbonite and then he just burst out of it he's
like it's me whatever my name is with all the weird syllables right oh i'm not gonna get used
to that do you don't you want to see like harrison ford come out like bring him out and then he slits
harrison ford's throat like, end of an era.
Yeah.
He just puts his hand in Harrison Ford's neck
and he pulls out all his gizzards.
And he's like, the power's mine now.
Yeah, that would be good.
So apparently he signed off for three films.
Okay.
Including the Han Solo solo story.
He won't be appearing in Rogue One, which was speculated.
So people are saying, are they making a Han Solo trilogy?
I'd maintain that they're probably waiting until they make the first one
and then they see what happens.
I mean, Star Wars is about 50-50 on trilogies at this point.
It's been a good one and a real bad one.
So, real bad.
Absolutely.
So maybe see if the next couple are any good
and then put your foot
down on it decide get off the fence with the trilogy do you feel though you limit your universe
when you go you make just a han solo trilogy and if they're doing one star wars movie a year
you've got the standard trilogy hopefully a good one yeah bump those odds up and then every odd
year you've got a han solo movie and you don't get anything else like you won't get an obi-wan
movie or a rogue one or we're getting rogue get anything else. Like you won't get an Obi-Wan movie or a Rogue One,
or we're getting a Rogue One movie or whatever.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah.
I'd rather see like a different movie every second year
of something we haven't seen.
Yes, I agree.
It's like the X-Men franchise where it's just,
we get an X-Men movie and we get a Wolverine.
Yeah.
Give me another Solo, give me a different Solo movie.
Give me a Gambit, you said.
I've never said that.
Nobody's ever said, I don't know.
Give me a, I guess the problem there is how many X-Men characters have an interesting backstory.
You write them interesting.
I think that's the trick, isn't it?
It is the trick.
Oh, sorry.
I meant who at Fox is willing to do that.
Nobody.
No, it doesn't seem to be.
I think Matthew Vaughn could.
Yeah.
But he's busy doing other stuff.
Sure.
Yeah, yeah.
Most of the X-Men movies are completely watchable. Yeah. Yeah. But he's busy doing other stuff. Sure. Yeah, yeah. Most of the X-Men movies are completely watchable.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Anyway, I'm hoping that it's not,
that it's just he'll appear in three different films.
Yeah.
But who knows?
I'd imagine they just went, as they do with everybody,
you know, Marvel and Disney or whatever,
you just sign them on for as many as you can get.
Exactly.
And then they'll chuck them in what works.
Yeah, and because if you sign him for Han Solo,
just one movie,
and then it makes a billion dollars,
then he could come back and be like, I want more money now.
That's right.
But if you sign him for three in a row for, you know, five grand,
a movie, then...
Yeah.
But what's important to me, though, Mason, is...
I can't remember what I was going to say.
The next bit of news?
No, I had something else to say about Han Solo.
About Han Solo.
Han Solo, I don't want to say three.
P.O.
No, not really.
I was kind of done with him.
Sick of his shit.
He's so prissy.
Get him out of here.
Get him out of here, Mason.
She's all right.
All right.
Blair Witch has a sequel.
I mean, it's had a sequel.
That Book of Shadows, which I didn't say.
Book of Shadows, yeah.
Do you remember when Blair Witch revolutionized 1999 film and online media?
Was that 1999?
It feels like earlier.
I'm going to look that up.
Okay, good.
But yes, I do remember that.
I remember being like, is this real?
Really?
Is it a movie?
Yeah, but that was the thing.
I never thought it was real for a second.
No, everybody was like...
It was 1999, there you go.
Okay.
Do you remember liking that movie?
No.
Me neither. But I tell you what, it kicked off a whole bunch of shit, didn you go. Okay. Do you remember liking that movie? No. Me neither.
But I tell you what,
it kicked off a whole bunch of shit, didn't it?
Yeah.
A whole lot of found footage.
Found footage is the new unfound footage.
Yes.
It's the new footage that's just been in a canister somewhere
and nobody's found it.
Correct.
It's a new version of that.
Yeah, yeah.
So this one's set, I guess, that amount of years after
or maybe not.
Okay.
Because the brother of the girl who goes missing then goes into the Blair Witch
and then sees if he can find her or wants to know what happened.
Goes right up in the Blair Witch.
He goes right up.
But you know what he should have done is just looked at the tapes that were found, I guess,
and he would have known.
Well, what did happen at the end of that movie?
Guy was looking at a wall and then someone fell over.
What a pile of shit.
But it's a successful formula isn't that all the
paranormal activity movies
yeah
at the end it's just somebody
looking at a thing
and then the lights go out
and everybody's like
oh my god
it's the scariest thing
did you watch
did you watch The Witch
I've heard it was good
see I've
a lot of people were like
oh my god it's the scariest thing
I've ever seen
and then I asked some people and they're like nah it was good. See, a lot of people were like, oh my God, it's the scariest thing I've ever seen.
And then I asked some people and they're like,
no, it was fine.
It was fine, okay.
I heard it's more kind of unnerving.
Not like jump scary, scary,
but it's just like, this is upsetting and unsettling.
And it's got Finch from The Office, the British Office,
and he's awful.
Yeah, okay.
So all those things.
No, I do want to watch that.
I should get around to it.
As you know, I'm not a big horror film guy, Mason,
because I'm such a scaredy cat.
Somebody tweeted us this week,
and they're like, we listened to your horror movie episode.
It was total garbage.
It was total garbage.
We were really rich.
I was just thinking we were really rich in that episode.
We had no idea.
No, we don't know.
It's not our area.
It's not our area.
Stay in your lane, mate.
That's the lesson there. Don't go chasing waterfalls.
Never.
It's the motto of our show.
Correct.
Joss Whedon says that he'd be willing to direct...
He was done with Marvel movies,
but he's willing to direct a Black Widow solo film.
What do you think of that?
Yeah, pretty good.
Yeah, I'd be up for that.
Well, he's good at strong female characters.
He's buffy, serenity.
What else did he do? Dollhouse. That wasn't great. i don't like dollars all right on this or two yeah i heard
dollhouse gets really good though because it does a time jump so once you've however many seasons
in till that happens then that's interesting maybe no no you're not doing it no he's not doing it
everybody put away your dvd copies to send to it. Yep. Not interested. That's interesting though,
that I think a big part of him not coming back was,
yeah,
a lot of pressure from the studio.
And that was before there was that big shift in management.
Cause there's a big difference between Age of Ultron and Civil War.
Yeah.
In terms of Age of Ultron is just references and setting up shit for the
future.
Yes,
it is.
And it's formula.
Yeah,
exactly.
It's,
we really liked the first one. Just do it again. With future. Yes, it is. And a formula. Yeah, exactly. We really liked the first one, just do it again.
With robots.
Yeah, with robots.
Don't deviate because you might.
And I guess if you've done two massively grossing films,
it might be a good idea to just leave on top.
Perhaps, exactly.
But I know that he wasn't really happy.
He was pretty unhappy with kind of how that turned out.
Age of Ultron.
Yeah, in general.
But I think you got a little bit more freedom with a Black Widow movie.
I don't think people will be watching you as closely.
You can tell a kind of smaller, kind of more contained story.
I don't know whether...
I'll probably get around to it eventually,
but it doesn't seem to be on the horizon anytime soon.
They're focusing on Captain Marvel.
I cannot wait for the Black Widow solo movie action play set
that does not feature Black Widow.
It's going to be so good.
So many Captain Americas.
It's going to be great.
Absolutely.
But I'm all for, though, if you're going to make a Marvel movie,
it doesn't have to be like Black Widow's at the shopping mall.
The rest of the Avengers are trying to find her.
Where is she?
She's taken the team's credit card.
Too many shoes.
Too many shoes.
No, I just think most of the Marvel movies,
the solo movies, should just be teaming up people.
Yep.
That's what I want to say.
So you can team her up.
Black Widow and Hawkeye.
Yeah.
That's it.
Yep.
But even like, you go like weird,
you go like Black Widow, Ant-Man.
Scarlet Witch and The Vision.
Exactly.
Couples movie, like a romantic comedy. you go like weird you go like black widow ant-man scarlet witch and the vision exactly couples movie
like a romantic commodore war machine and war machine and ant-man okay so that'd be cool yeah
because one's a military guy he's no no nonsense and the other guy's all nonsense he's all nonsense
all the time yeah absolutely uh did you know they're doing a Blair Witch sequel wait Falcon
Ant-Man.
Yeah, that'd be good.
Because they have good chemistry, don't they?
That's true, yeah.
So David Ayer has come out and said,
he's the director of The Suicide Squad,
it's out this week.
I'm very excited.
I'm seeing it Monday night.
But I can't release a review till Wednesday. I mean, what do I care?
But I'm hoping that isn't indicative of it being terrible.
But it's out Friday in the US and Wednesday night here is Tuesday morning in the US.
Probably fine.
I hope it's okay.
But he said that this version of the Joker.
Look, I think at this point we have enough information to determine whether it's good or not.
Yes.
It looks pretty good.
Yeah, it does.
And I feel like I don't really still know what's going on.
Exactly.
That's what I'm about.
We don't know what the plot is yet.
No.
They're going to this, it's an abandoned city, right?
It's been evacuated.
Oh, it's been, yeah, in the process of, yeah, Midway City.
So, yeah, there's some kind of supernatural threat.
Who knows?
Who knows what it is?
I'll find out.
Could be common.
Could be common.
Rapper, actor, common.
Oh, not like a common event?
No.
Oh, okay.
So, yeah, basically, though, he said that Jason, this version of the Joker, is not Jason Todd.
Okay.
That was the fan theory.
Well, I did a video on it when we talked about it.
And there's a lot of comments that's just like, you're an idiot.
This isn't true.
But that video was just.
I mean, it is true that we are idiots.
Yes, that part's true.
But that video is just explaining that it's not an endorsement of that.
Right, sure.
It's just the theory that exists. It's just the theory that exists.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, you know.
But also, some people involved with movies lie about the plot points.
That's true.
But I would say this is probably the case, that it's not.
I would say.
Would you say it is, even though he's, would you doubt him?
Yes.
Well, there you go.
You've heard it at first.
Doubt.
Doubt.
Good stuff.
Last bit of news.
Now, this is from before Comic-Con, but we missed some stuff.
Okay.
Because Comic-Con was such a big Comic-Con, wasn't it?
It was one of the biggest.
Well.
It was an event.
We didn't go, but people did, and they saw some stuff, didn't they?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And that was good.
But Ben Affleck, the rumored Ben Affleck Batman solo film.
Are you saying Ben Affleck?
What'd I say?
Fleck.
I said Fleck.
Okay.
Just checking.
Get out of my vocab.
Get out of it.
All right?
Okay.
All right.
Ben Affleck's Batman solo film is rumored to be set in Arkham.
Yeah.
Okay.
The idea is that Batman's locked in and then a whole lot of shenanigans go down.
Sounds very similar to the-
Supermax.
Yes.
Oh, I was going to-
Yeah, Supermax. I was going to say all the video game, but yeah, Supermax. Yes. Oh, I was going to... Yeah, Supermax.
I was going to say all the video game,
but yeah, Supermax.
Absolutely.
So do you want to explain
the Green Arrow Supermax situation?
Yeah.
So there was an unproduced screenplay
for...
This was many years before Arrow,
the TV series.
Yes.
The idea being that Green Arrow
is locked up in a Supermax
from security prison
full of super criminals.
Right, right.
He's got to fight his way out.
He certainly does.
And we actually, we did an episode,
that last episode of cancelled comic book movies.
You broke that down, didn't you?
Yeah.
And did we talk about maybe making that into a Batman movie?
Did you say that?
I don't know.
Yeah.
I don't remember.
Yeah, so that's cool.
If this is true, that's fantastic.
It should be called Batman Shenanigans, as you suggested.
Now, it's also been, this movie has been rumoured in the past to be packed with villains,
so that would make sense.
I'm hoping the poster, on the right side, it's Batman,
and he's in his Batman costume there.
And then on the left, there's just bars, like a prison cell bars,
and a whole bunch of heads of various villains sticking out of it,
like at different levels.
There's the Joker, there's Killer Croc,
there's Kite Man and there's Crazy Quilt.
That would be amazing.
Yeah, yeah.
I like the idea of a Batman self-contained solo movie
where it's not like the city is falling to pieces and whatever
and it's just like tell this very confined, specific story.
It doesn't have to be a city-ending plot,
though it probably will end up poisoning a waterway or whatever.
Is he wearing the suit or is he not wearing the suit?
That's a very good question.
I'd like to think that he would be, right?
Or maybe he goes in as Bruce Wayne.
Or matches Malone.
Or matches Malone.
The whole movie is matches.
It's Ben Affleck, weird mustache, aviator sunglasses.
Match in the mouth.
Match in the mouth.
He's like, I've got to maintain cover
so I can't bring in any bat equipment.
Right.
But I'm just going to bring in like a whole,
like a ton of matches.
And he has to use his ingenuity.
Would you like to see things like you've got the,
like he's got a secret bat cave under Arkham?
No, I don't like that.
You don't like that?
Because that's obviously what they did in the game.
Do you think that was more of a kind of,
this is how you get your gear kind of thing?
Yeah, and that is in Arkham Asylum, the game,
it's much more out of the way.
Like nobody could accidentally stumble on it
because you have to be able to glide to it.
Oh, that's true, yeah.
But in like, where would he have,
how does he have the time and the resources?
How's he going to dig under bloody Arkham Asylum?
It's Batman, it doesn't matter.
Doesn't matter.
Don't think about it, Mason.
Just enjoy this movie that may not even be a real movie, all right?
Okay.
If this is true, that's great.
Yeah, it's...
I'm bloody excited.
I'm going to say he is wearing the suit.
Yeah, of course.
Or he gets it somehow.
Yeah, okay.
What about if he had one stored in the rafters?
No, that'd be weird.
Why?
Somebody would find it.
Would they?
Yeah, a janitor or something.
Yeah, I guess. And he's just mopping the floor with his bat suit on don't you think that
would be interesting though if he went in as bruce wayne and he was vulnerable and there's a bit where
he you know like he levels up he gets his blood that's arkham city yes so i don't like it take
things that work i don't know you don't like that game yeah no i do but yeah i reckon just he's
delivering a criminal right and he's trapped in
there so like the first arkham game correct so some of the elements of that game but some of
them so the elements that i like it's off no yeah all right what i say goes okay you've got
bulletproof logic thank you will you rise with the sun to help change mental health care forever?

Alright Mason, let's talk about Jason
Bourne. Bourne's back baby!
Yeah, he's back.
He's
made $61 million in the US
at opening. Is that good? That's good. Better than I predicted, yep. The Ultimatum made $69 million in the US at opening. Is that good?
Better than I predicted, yep.
The Ultimatum made $69 million.
That was the most of a Bourne film.
So this is the second highest grossing.
And it even beat Rogue Nation, which only made like $55 comparatively.
So it's doing reasonably well, Mason.
That's nothing to sneeze at.
Don't sneeze on it.
Cover your mouth.
Cover your mouth.
So Bourne is back, Mason. I sneezed into my back basically he's back in a big way and i need
you to tell us what the story was oh no what do you think the story was the story is born's back
baby no i don't know all right so so so in the last one he got all his memories back right he
did here's the thing how many many Bourne movies have there been?
There's been five, but one of them had Jeremy Renner.
Okay, so the last three, they all blur together.
Yes.
So I'm presuming that at the end of the last one,
I've seen them all.
Yeah.
I just can't remember.
But at the end of the last one, he gets all his memories back,
and that sent him off into some sort of weird shame spiral
yes he does he wants to leave everything behind so he's just off in the desert shirtless fighting
people yep for some reason but then then then i'm ready then bloody uh nikki parsons julia the
great julia styles comes back and she's and she's like you gotta come back born because of data on a usb drive there's
data information it's big trouble for everyone you gotta come in and kill everyone vincent
cassell and he's like i'm out i won't do it i'm out baby that's what he says yeah that's what he
says yeah yeah all the people presumably from the last movie, they're back, and you've got to stop them.
Tommy Lee Jones.
I don't think he was. Vincent Cassell.
And again, I don't think.
Were they not?
I don't think so.
That's a shame.
Yeah, yeah.
There was a different old white guy who was the bad guy,
who was like, you volunteered, Bourne, and Bourne was like, fuck you.
Nice.
I'm out.
I'm not back, baby.
Yeah, that's right.
So then he's pulled into a world of intrigue and social media.
He's back for the reasons of his own that we'll never really know.
No, he doesn't say a lot, does he?
He's a richly textured character.
No, he's not.
He's a blank slate.
If this movie were about like a malfunctioning Terminator,
it'd be about the same.
What are his motives?
Who knows?
What is it?
What's he like?
What does he, what's he like?
What does he like?
Who knows?
Who knows with Jason Bourne?
You never see him eat a sandwich.
You never see him take a-
What kind of sandwich does he like?
Take a drink.
Yeah.
I don't know.
He's got all his memories back. He's got all his memories back.
He's got all his memories back.
To what end?
He's the same guy.
Yeah, I guess you're right.
That being said, Mason.
Yes.
You did not enjoy this movie?
No, I did enjoy this movie, actually.
Interesting.
I just...
You nothinged it?
I just couldn't even...
Huh.
It's fine.
Okay.
It doesn't...
We'll get into it.
Okay.
Matt Damon.
Yes.
What do you think of him as blank slate?
How is he?
Yeah,
he's good.
Yeah.
Like I enjoy it,
but I don't know.
I enjoy him going through all the motions.
Sure.
Yeah.
I was thinking about it.
Like you presumably in the last,
presumably in the last one,
I don't remember.
Like when you get his memories back,
you're like,
Oh good.
Happy ending for him.
He can go off into the sunset.
Congratulations. And this one, I'm just like. Like, when you get his memories back, you're like, oh, good, happy ending for him. He can go off into the sunset. Congratulations.
And this one, I'm just like,
why is he coming back?
Like, what is motivating him to come?
I mean, he's sort of dedicated to...
Freedom.
Freedom and patriotism and whatever.
But...
Is he?
Is he, though, right?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I mean, he looks the part.
He looks great.
He bounces around quite a bit, which I appreciate. I don't know. I mean, he looks the part. He looks great. He bounces around quite a bit, which I appreciate.
Yep.
I don't know.
I don't think he really...
Oh, no, he has some few kind of emotional kind of moments towards the end.
Like Matt Damon, you can't question that he's not a good actor.
Don't question that, Mason.
Don't question it.
All right.
Just cross that off the talking points.
Yeah, but I don't know.
Is there even enough stories to...
I didn't feel that this story involving
him was interesting enough to kind of be like oh it's good to see jason born again thank god he's
back i was like yeah okay baby baby yeah that's that's that's how i kind of looked at it yeah i
don't know like i don't i i enjoyed all the action i enjoyed the the the the intrigue that sort of
stuff right right but again like if this were a new movie about a completely different guy I enjoyed the intrigue, that sort of stuff.
Right, right.
But again, if this were a new movie about a completely different guy,
it wouldn't register.
Right, sure.
There's no difference between the character in the first three and this one.
Not really, no.
You'd think he'd have something.
There'd be some form of character development in this
because he's got his memories back, but there's nothing.
Yeah, yeah.
Fair enough.
I think they were going for that kind of broken down James Bond kind of thing. Yeah, I guess that's true. There's that element of it where he's got his memories back, but there's nothing. Yeah, yeah. Fair enough. I think they were probably going for that kind of broken down
James Bond kind of thing.
Yeah, I guess that's true, yeah.
There's that element of it where he's clearly not coping.
Yeah.
But I guess the thing is he's not coping
and all he knows is espionage and what have you,
which is why now that he's out of the game,
he's just fighting people in the desert.
Yeah.
But I feel it needs to be more like,
could he find a friend that he used to... i feel it needs to be more like could he find a
friend that he used to like there needs to be something related to him getting his losing the
amnesia and getting the memories back did he does he not know anybody that he wants and i guess also
he has to stay off the grid right but couldn't he find someone he used to know or like an old flame
or a relative or something they're all dead oh they're all dead remember his girlfriend died
in the second one yep i remember that was kind of the most character development there was
yeah i feel like that he was kind of he'd settled down and he kind of made a go of it
uh-huh uh and speaking of though julia styles returns uh who's it's hinted at that they had
a relationship before the amnesia oh i think they said that i want to say
the third one right so you know what this one i feel is the most distinctive yes like because it's
it's well it's updated for the modern day it's updated for the modern it's with a plot ripped
from the headlines i'd be like it's the one with the social media right that's exactly that's how
i would describe it but the first one to me is very distinct yes it stands
out a lot second two is that there's that mini car chase yeah it's great yeah the second two just
kind of blur together and they're also set they overlap in time period which one's clive owen in
the first one yeah that's the bloody good one and it revolutionized action movies yes it did
for the worst for the worst yeah well look at all this crap that's kind of spun out of it.
But that's, I mean, that's every...
Yeah, you're right.
You can't blame that.
Every ten...
What's the word I'm looking for?
Every...
Not tentpole action movie.
Every genre-defining...
Every Matrix.
Yeah, every show.
Exactly.
Every Matrix.
Every time there's a Matrix.
Every time there's the son of an evolutionary or revolutionary...
Sure.
Like a genre-defining action movie,
there follows five years of just terrible knockoffs of it.
Remember when The Matrix came out and every second movie had a bullet time sequence in it that was total garbage?
Yeah, scary movie, didn't it?
Because they didn't want to spend the money on the 360 degrees
of cameras and the green screen and the wires or whatever,
so they're just like, okay, let's have him fall over
and then we'll move the camera slightly to the left
and put a CGI bullet in.
And that all looked like garbage.
That's the same with this.
They moved from this too cinematic action
to this super gritty, very brutal action.
Right, right.
It wasn't glamorous and it wasn't like the Matrix
or the Hong Kong action movies
where it's like multiple moves and it's all super balletic.
Right, right.
It was just fists and newspapers and pens.
Yeah, exactly.
Which I didn't think this movie had enough of.
No, me neither.
Quite frankly.
It was a moment where he rips a chair leg off.
Yeah, and I was like, it's on.
It's on.
Somebody's going to get nailed to the ground with that wooden chair leg.
They're going to get Dracula style.
That's right.
But it didn't, yeah.
Not really, no.
What did you think of the rest of the cast?
So Julie Stiles we'll probably talk about more a bit later.
Alicia Vikander.
What accent is that?
Where's she from?
Vikander?
Alicia Vikander.
I was like, is she supposed to be Irish or the character?
The character.
Oh, I don't know. And I was wondering about that. I'm like, why is supposed to be Irish or the character? The character. Oh, I don't know.
And I was wondering about that.
I'm like, why is she in the CIA?
Yeah.
Because at some point, I'm like, is she doing American accent?
Like, I wasn't entirely sure.
I don't know.
I don't think so.
Yeah, she's, yeah, whatever.
She's good, yeah.
Tommy Lee Jones.
He's just Tommy Lee Jones-ing about.
He certainly is, yeah.
Do you reckon his face is getting lower?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Everybody in this
movie looked really tired did you notice there are a lot of bags under a lot of eyes staple of
the board movie yeah everyone's tired all the time everybody's always on the run nobody's had
any time for a night for a good eight hours that's right they've gotten six hours at best and it's
not enough time it's certainly not mason uh i like to read casper mattresses indeed get one
get two just get one if you're in the cia get some casper mattresses. Indeed. Get one. Get two. Just get one. If you're in the CIA, get some Casper mattresses.
Correct.
What about Riz Ahmed as the Facebook head kind of guy?
Fine.
Okay, fair enough.
I'm looking forward to him.
I love, this isn't really a spoiler, but there's a Facebook style, there's a seminar and he's
demoing his new product.
And he's like, as for privacy issues, you can use it
and there's no privacy issues.
And everybody's like, ah.
And there's like just rapturous applause from thousands of people.
I'm like, he didn't explain anything.
No, that's right.
And also, you believe that?
No, absolutely not.
That to me was insane.
But I think there's an effort here to kind of update it for the modern day.
But in doing so-
When do we say modern day?
When did the first one come out?
Not a-
2001?
Really?
Yeah.
All right, modern day.
I want to say 2002.
It might have been 2002.
I'll look it up for you, Mason.
Please.
So, yeah, updating it for the modern day.
What's the first one called?
The Bourne Identity Game.
What if you went to IMDB and they were all just mushed together?
I'd never...
2002, I apologize.
Just says Bourne Films and a question mark.
So I feel like there wasn't really a good understanding
of what to kind of do with that plot.
I think they were like, we need to update this.
What's now?
Right.
Social media?
Yeah, but I mean, that is very much an issue of modern day espionage.
Yes.
The CIA and the FBI have just gone to Facebook and Twitter
and all these people and just gone,
we need a backdoor into this.
We need to be able to read everybody's messages and everything.
Right.
And they've gone to Microsoft and Google and Apple and all that
and said, give us a backdoor into this stuff.
Yeah.
And there's been issues.
Exactly.
I think there could have been something kind of more done with that,
but I don't think this is fully fleshed out.
By the way, they can get, I was speaking to a cop recently,
and they can get in everything.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Just so you know.
Bloody hell.
Yeah.
But, you know, I think anything online,
if you put anything online, it's expected.
It's there forever.
Even if you think it's private, it's not.
Except for a certain Rocketeer Motion comic.
Yes, that's right.
Which is gone forever.
So I guess the lesson here is if you want to put some data on the internet
and you want your secrets encrypted into a Rocketeer Motion comic,
that'll just disappear.
If you make it boring and crap yes nobody it won't
interest anybody on its own but you know what i did appreciate what's that they didn't try to
invent an app like it was just facebook it was facebook a different name they didn't try to try
to invent an app which often movies do and it's clearly like this is a garbage idea because this
was a good idea then it would exist right uh-huh-huh. So they just went, yeah, look, it's Facebook.
This is a very thinly veiled Facebook.
It wasn't like, because you remember in Terminator Genisys,
it's like, this is a new system that will sync your phone to your TV
or whatever.
Yeah, like everything.
Like every product.
Exactly, yeah.
Why am I getting this?
Oh, I get a free tote bag.
All right, installing.
Here we go.
So I appreciated that.
What did you think of the car chases, Mason?
Really good.
I agree with you.
There's a motorcycle chase.
There's a car slash motorcycle chase in Act 1, which is very good.
Very nice.
And then you get your car chase towards the end.
The car chase, yeah, that got a bit too Hollywood.
It did and I think a big part of that is because of the type of car he stole
because in the first one he's in like a Mini
and it's much more intense because those cars are death traps.
Yeah, and it was a real Mini.
It was a real Mini.
Not a modern day Mini, they're just regular sized cars.
Yeah, that's right.
It's no fun. It's not a Mini. Smart car chase, that's a car chase. It was a real Mini. One of the modern day Minis, they're just regular sized cars. Yeah, that's right. It's no fun.
It's not a Mini.
Yeah.
Smart car chase, that's a car chase.
It certainly is.
The little one, the tiny little one, the 4.2.
Absolutely.
But you know, like a, yeah, because that was like one of the ones from like the 70s.
Yeah.
Just horrible death traps.
So that was way more intense than this.
Because, you know, you sideswipe someone and you're dead.
Yeah, yeah.
But this is just smashing through things
and it's like a tank.
Yeah.
Like, you're just
hitting billboards
and jumping over roads
or whatever.
Like, it was good.
Yeah.
But there wasn't the tension.
Yeah, I felt it was,
I don't know,
because all, you know,
all these movies
bounce off each other.
Like, the Bond films steal,
the Bond films stole.
There's a good example
of a good thing
that came out of this.
Exactly, yeah.
You know, the-
One of the Bond films. One of the first Daniel Craig Bond films, like, stole from that. And I guess they all, film stole there's a there's a good example of a good thing that exactly yeah you know the one of
the bond one of the first daniel craig bond film like stole from that and i guess they all everything
bounces off everything else and they're like okay well this is working so we have to steal this so
it feels kind of like they went a little bit of fast and furious right maybe we need a car chase
between a couple of indestructible cars we're gonna throw that in but yeah it did feel it did
feel to me a little bit out of place especially in the final act where you're like i want this to feel as jason borne as it can be yeah to be like this
is quite generic hollywoodish right right kind of thing absolutely i uh yeah that's i think that's
the problem for this movie for me in general i didn't really bring anything new yeah like born
like we said it really matrixed the game yeah but this is just kind of like it's fine
it's just it could be any of
the movies except for the first one
you know what I mean it's just kind of and it goes along
and there's the intrigue
and you know and he's running through the streets
and whatever and the people are after him
and then you know and he's set
like they think they're going to meet him at one place
but he's at a different place you know what they didn't do
they didn't do he disappears behind a piece of public transport,
which has been a staple of all the Bourne movies, I assume.
They all blur together.
Maybe it only happened once,
but I definitely remember it happening every single time.
I'm going to show you a video after this.
People should look it up.
Michael Shanks' channel.
He did the Star Wars, the George Lucas Episode 7 trailer.
Yes, he did.
He does the whole video on that disappearing.
It's great.
Everybody look it up.
Michael Shanks.
Michael Shanks.
He also did, we've mentioned before,
The Wizards of Oz, AUS,
which is about a wizard living in Australia.
He did some Sandspan episodes as well.
If you want to check them out.
He seems like a really cool dude.
Hasn't done our show, has he?
Actually, I've emailed him
because there was a thing that I want to try doing
that I've kind of stopped.
Is it Kick Me Out?
It's Kick You Out.
Am I not telling you this?
Oh, no.
No, not that.
I mean, have I not told you the other thing that I was thinking of doing?
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
It's for another day.
No, he seems really cool.
All right.
Should we get into spoilers?
I'm going to say Best Movie Ever.
It wasn't great, but I reckon solid action sequences.
If you like Matt Damon doing some solid action,
then totally worth it.
What's the one where he's in China?
Oh, yeah.
Can we watch The Great Wall?
I'm going to say best movie, but the same way.
I just don't hate it, so I can't.
Yeah, look, it does have some great action sequences.
Like Paul Greengrass, again, he knows what he's doing.
See, that's the thing.
I don't think... You don't think he knows what he's doing? No, he knows what he's doing. See, that's the thing. I don't think...
You don't think he knows what he's doing?
No, he knows what he's doing,
but I don't think his Bourne movies
are as good as people think they are.
Yeah.
That's subjective.
Who did the first one?
I want to say Letierre.
Oh, Letierre.
No, sorry, Doug Liman.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah, look, yeah, it's...
He did Edge of Tomorrow.
Okay.
And Jumper. Oh, mixed bag. Yeah, look, pretty, it's... He did Edge of Tomorrow. Okay. And Jumper.
Oh, mixed bag.
Yeah, look, pretty good, solid action.
Yeah, a little too Hollywood-y.
Yeah, fair enough.
And it'd be nice if Jason Bourne had some sort of character arc of any kind.
Sure.
Yeah.
Yeah, because that's what also made him interesting,
that he's not Bond.
Yeah.
And this is kind of like...
Also, something that annoyed me, just before we get into spoilers.
Sure.
Every Bourne movie ends with the Moby song, Extreme Ways.
And it starts up at the end.
Everything ends.
And I'm like, I haven't heard this song in ages.
This is going to be great.
And they've made some sort of weird rock remix.
Oh, I didn't notice.
It's awful.
I hated it.
And I'm like, if you're going to change the game,
if you're going to change at this point,
just find something on that Moby album that was just old gospel songs
that he remixed.
A bit of that.
So it could be like, I'm done.
I'm out of the agency.
I'm going to disappear.
You'll never find me.
And then it's like, run now for a long time.
Run now.
You know.
I know.
Solid work.
I get you.
What happened to Moby?
What's he about now?
Good for him.
He's probably just been a vegetarian.
That's a full-time job.
It is.
Okay.
So let's talk spoilers.
There's a few things that we need to unravel, Mason.
Hang on.
What were you going to say?
Best movie ever or worst movie ever?
I said best.
I said it already.
All right, all right.
But tentatively.
Okay.
Do not rush out to see this.
If you're a big fan of these movies, I think you will like them.
But if you're like me where you like the first one and you just don't really remember the
rest of them.
Yep.
So everybody in the world.
Yeah.
Then maybe not as much.
So spoilers.
Bourne's father started the program,
which I thought was an interesting kind of little wrinkle in the sitch.
What did you think about that?
Yeah, look, I think they used it as an attempt to build
just any kind of personal drama.
I didn't think it worked.
Okay, fair enough.
Similarly with Vincent Cassell's character.
So he killed Bourne's father, but Bourne also got him captured.
Yes, right.
Yeah, so that's the...
Yeah, it's the bloody...
It's the snake eating its own tail.
It certainly is.
Did that happen in one of the previous Bourne movies?
His father or that particular...
That particular, the Vincent Cassell thing.
I don't think so, no.
Okay, right.
Yeah, yeah.
His father's not even mentioned in the other ones.
Well, maybe not in any depth.
But yeah, I thought it was like, oh, that's an interesting way to kind of make it more
personal.
But yeah, you're right.
It didn't really...
Between that and the social media.
Sure, right?
Yeah.
There was a lot going on.
Did you like the fact that Vincent Castell...
Castell?
Like...
Faber Castell.
How do you say that?
Castell?
I say Cassell.
Vincent Cassell. I don't know what it is. All I know him as is the guy in that really crap Oceans movie. Castel like Faber Castel how do you say that Castel I say Castel Vincent Castel
I don't know what it is
all I know him as
is the guy in that
really crap
Oceans movie
oh he's like
the fox
or the bat
or something
yeah
he's the cat burglar
he's the cat burglar
yeah did you like
that he'd killed his father
did you enjoy that
element of the movie
no
it felt
do you think it would've been
more interesting
if he was just after Bourne
because Bourne got him captured
correct okay fair enough yeah I don't think we need to because I guess the idea is see that's No. It felt... Do you think it would have been more interesting if he was just after Bourne because Bourne got him captured? Correct.
Okay, fair enough.
Yeah, I don't think we need to...
Because I guess the idea is...
See, that's why it felt more Hollywood-y for me, I guess.
Because they're like, okay, well, here's...
You know, Bourne did this thing because he thought it was the best
for, you know, the world to release all this information or whatever.
And so this guy's got a legitimate gripe against him.
But Bourne's going to kill him because Bourne just kills everybody.
Yeah.
But to then turn it around to be like,
oh,
well actually Bourne's morally justified in getting this guy because this guy
got him first.
Right.
Just have Bourne sit in this morally gray area where maybe he does some
things that are in the wrong.
Yeah.
Or that had some negative outcomes.
Right.
But don't come at him because he'll still kill you.
That's right.
He certainly will.
Well,
speaking of,
did you enjoy that fight scene at the end?
It wasn't very Bourne, though, was it?
No, it was kind of a standard-y.
It wasn't terrible.
It wasn't terrible.
But where's the rolled-up newspaper?
Exactly.
Where's the pen through the hand?
And they do a bit of that.
There's a cord and some stuff going on.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, yeah.
But, you know, it was brutal enough, but it didn't...
And it also felt like we were intended to feel
some sort of emotional thing,
like, oh, he's finally getting catharsis
because he's killed...
Yeah, this guy that killed his father and blah, blah, blah.
But we've only just learned about that.
Yes, that's right.
So I don't feel a connection there.
Fair point.
One of my favourite moments in the film
is where Bourne found a bowl of free trackers
and he used them to help himself.
Yeah.
Yeah, that was pretty good.
And a camera, just like a stack of free cameras.
Or maybe he just stole them.
But those trackers were free, weren't they?
It was like, this is a free personal tracker and microphone or whatever it was.
That was weird.
Yeah, it certainly was.
I just, yeah, so that also, I guess guess is a real kind of hollywood kind of
convenience he could have just had that tech that's true yeah and again he's a he's a he's
an agent who's been doing this for a long time yeah surely he could just go to the nearest storage
locker that he had yeah and it's filled with tracking devices you don't need you don't need
this contrivance yeah and i guess it being nine years on like that you wanted some newer tech
i guess i i never bought for a second how they were like we're going to try and bring born back into the agency
and he would even consider that right because they lied to him from day one and even towards
the very end like when it's revealed that they've been they're still lying to him like i why would
he why would he want to go back in to do that why wouldn't he just be if he
loves fighting people in the desert and punching dudes or whatever just be a mercenary and just
do jobs that are you know that are just kind of not just disappear or just disappear because he's
good at that just make some mojitos yeah oh yeah and bloody kick on mate yeah yeah um julia styles
i was just saying earlier that when i went into this movie
i'm like oh it's julia styles isn't it great julia styles will always have this role to go to
correct dead dead do you think she's they're like oh she's she's getting old a bit well bloody we'll
right we'll bring in vikanda because vikanda's up and coming oh Oh, maybe. She's sexy and new. Mm-hmm, that's true. Like a car.
Yeah.
Some cars.
Yeah, nice.
Like a Mini Cooper.
Like the latest Mini Cooper.
But do you think that was, again, to kind of add emotional weight to... Yes, exactly.
But again...
Maybe just do that Not The Father thing?
Yeah, but again, like, it's implied that they had a relationship before...
Yeah.
...the Treadstone program or what have you.
Yeah.
Didn't really feel it.
Right, okay.
And I think it's kind of grasping at straws a little bit.
To be like, okay, of these movies, we have two recognisable characters that are still alive.
Sure.
Bourne and Parsons.
Yeah.
So just kill Parsons.
And that's his emotional arc.
You don't want to watch the Parsons ultimatum?
Kill Bourne? Go that direction? Yeah. It's too late emotional arc. You don't want to watch the Parsons ultimatum? Kill Bourne?
Go that direction?
Yeah.
It's too late, Mason.
We should make it a prequel.
But don't.
You don't do that.
That's what I'm saying.
And also, she was no good at anything prior to.
No, she wasn't.
She was a terrible agent prior to.
He was always bustling her onto a tram.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
Oh, they'll never bustle anybody on a tram ever again.
Oh, it's a shame is this a universe
that you want to revisit again oh do you think even the people making this are keen to make
another one i would like to see here's where i kind of thought it might go yeah i get the sense
that maybe if they do a sequel it'll be they call the agency call on born and they're like
we need your help yeah even though we've tried to kill you all
these times but and we will again yeah but there's a nuclear bomb or something like that right right
and people will die and he doesn't want to do it yeah like he doesn't want to work with these people
but the world's at stake so he has to do it i would watch i do believe his sense of duty when
they say look he is he is you know he's not a bad guy yeah he does have that sense of purpose and
right i guess that's true yeah so i i yeah. He does have that sense of purpose and right and wrong.
I guess that's true, yeah.
So, yeah, I would definitely see that movie.
I just kind of, I just wish it was kind of better in general.
Yeah, and also in this movie where they're like,
because, you know, they're like, okay, this is, you know,
Treadstone created these insane, you know, super soldiers.
Yeah.
And all these other programs, Black Bride created this
and blah, blah, blah.
This one, it's a surveillance program.
Oh, right, yeah.
That's right.
I don't feel like he would come out of retirement for that.
No.
Also, it's going to happen regardless, isn't it?
Exactly.
That's not his job to...
No.
His job is to stop kind of where he wants to stop people coming...
When they're like, this is as bad as Treadstone.
It's not as bad as brainwashing people.
I mean, I guess on a global scale it is.
Aren't we all being brainwashed?
You know what I mean?
The bloody social media.
Everybody's looking at their phones.
They're not talking on the train.
You know what I mean?
Nobody's talking to each other on the train.
You're both bloody sheep.
You're all being brainwashed.
You know what?
These smartphones aren't that old.
Here comes another classic James rant.
It's just an example.
Nobody ever talked to each other on the train. It's just an example. Nobody ever talked
to each other on the train.
That's true.
Everybody had their head
buried in a book
or with headphones
or whatever.
It's always been that way.
You can see photos
from the 1920s
and everyone's just
reading a book on a tram.
It's the same thing.
It's the same.
Everybody's just
reading a book
and there's somebody
masturbating in the corner.
That's public transport for you.
No matter the era.
You know what I mean?
So this time
they're on bloody
YouPorn or whatever. Is it hard for you to drive the era you know what I mean except this time they're on bloody you porn or whatever
is it hard for you
to drive a tram
with one hand
got him
yeah you got me
you got me
yeah man
I love that
I love that
motorcycle chase scene
yeah I can't argue
with that
it's also very reminiscent
do you remember
at the start of the
second one
where his girlfriend
gets shot to the back
of the head
oh yes
yeah that's true
I was like
this is the same scene just just in a different city.
Did you like how they took it to America more?
They took it to Vegas, man.
Vegas, baby.
I'm sure the other ones also went to America.
I know they did, but normally it's kind of like traipsing around Europe.
Yeah, that's true.
Not in this one.
Or he did a little bit, I guess.
Yeah.
Was he in Europe?
I don't remember.
It's pretty good.
That'll do it.
I did like that ride.
I enjoyed the fact that my favorite part about Bourne as a character
is that everybody is just a tool to get what he needs to complete the mission.
So he's being chased by the bad guys, and he sees a cop,
and he's like, or he sees a guy with a Molotov cocktail,
and he's like, well, I'll need this, and he just swipes it. And he's like or he sees like a like a guy with a molotov cocktail and
he's like well i'll need this and he just swipes swipe it and he's like okay i need a motorcycle
so he just plows through a whole bunch of cops and steals one of the motorcycles absolutely
i can't argue with that yeah yeah that'll do it moving on to the next segment of the show
yeah do you even know what it's called it's called what we're reading and then what we're
gonna read you've done it thank you i'm doing
the thing what are we reading today mason it's in your best interest to tell the listeners what
you've been reading or what you're gonna i've been watching have you seen angie tribeca no it's a

it's kind of divisive because I spoke to somebody
and they're like, what have you been watching?
And it's like on Stan, because it's on Stan.
I don't know if you're aware of Stan.
Shut up.
Anyway, it's like Australian Netflix.
And somebody was like, you know what you shouldn't watch?
Andrew Tribeca.
It's real.
I hate it.
It's so unfunny.
It's so stupid.
But I watch it and I'm like...
Who said that?
Which person?
I cannot remember who it was for the life of me.
Get them out of your face.
I'm going to. But it's for fun. If you. Get them out of your face. I'm going to.
But it's for fun.
If you enjoy a thing, that's great.
That's what I said.
I've been watching, you mentioned it last week, Toast of London.
Oh, yeah, with Matt Berry.
Matt Berry.
It's good.
I didn't get around to it.
It's again one of those things that is incredibly stupid,
but I really enjoy it.
Yeah, nice.

First season does suck.
Yeah.
And that special sucks as well.
The one where he goes through time or whatever?
Yeah, that one sucks.
Oh, does it?
I don't remember.
The other thing was I've been reading a lot of Suicide Squad stuff.
I've got a video upcoming for that with him in conjunction with Scott from NerdSync. Now, what lot of Suicide Squad stuff. I've got a video upcoming for that, which I'm doing in conjunction with Scott from NerdSync.
Now, what era of Suicide Squad?
I've been reading the new 52 stuff,
because it's been important for me.
Is that the one where Catman is in it for a lot of it?
Yeah, it's a Catman...
Not where I'm up to.
Okay.
No.
Is Catman a Grotham crime fighter?
Not really.
Catman was a supervillain.
Yeah.
He was like a Batman knockoff,
and then he got real fat and sad for a long time.
And he was kind of a joke character.
Right.
And then he came,
then they,
he came back and then they put him on the suicide squad.
Okay.
Cool.
And he was real,
real cool.
Cool.
No,
didn't see any of that.
Okay.
Hopefully he'll turn up.
Maybe that was pre new 52.
Maybe it was Mason.
We'll never know.
It's true.
Good stuff.
No way of knowing.

outside of comics and sci-fi Who are your favourite villains?
E.g. Sergeant Barnes
Iago of Othello
Bricktop
Oh
Don't know who Bricktop is
Bricktop is from Snatch
Oh right okay sure sure
The movie Snatch
What have you got?
Oh favourite villains
But you cast to be outside of sci-fi or comic books
Comic books okay
Oh boy
I've got one.
Okay, go ahead.
Some Bond villains.
Oh, sure.
Some Bond villains.
Nah, I'll go again.
Annie Wilkes from Misery.
That's a pretty good one.
You seen Misery lately?
Not recently.
It's fucking horrifying.
I bet it is.
It's great.
And really dated, but in a good way.
It's great.
It's really good.
I'm trying to think of any I'm trying to think of any villain
it's hard isn't it
it's hard
as soon as somebody
any villain
too many options
I was going to say
I was going to say
Walter Peck from Ghostbusters
but that's sci-fi
that is
that is yeah
I've got some more
the mean nun in Blues Brothers
is she a villain though
you know what
no
all the
all the cops in Blues Brothers
are they villains?
No, they're just doing their job, mate.
Exactly, yeah.
Yeah.
Or maybe the Illinois Nazis.
Sure.
What about the kid from Blues Brothers 2000?
In a way, he's the worst of them all.
Yeah, that's right.
What about drugs?
Because of what happened to the Bishimi, the good one, in between the two Blues Brothers
movies.
Oh, yeah.
That's a villain, isn't it?
That's true.
I've got another one.
Some other Bond villains.
No.
Alan Rickman in Die Hard.
That's a good one.
In Harry Potter, or is he, I guess.
And Robin Hood.
What if that was the moment where the Harry Potter franchise
was spoiled for somebody?
I'm sure it was.
At this point, yeah.
Bonds are.
It's got to be someone.
Or him from Robin Hood.
Wow, just Alan Rickman things.
Have you seen him in Robin Hood?
He's incredible.
I'm sure there's clips of him just doing it.
Doing his Robin Hood thing.
Give me a minute to think of literally...
Hang on.
I'll give you another one, Mason.
Okay.
I'm going to look up the top 100 films.
There we go.
And IMDB and see if I can think of one.
Cobra from Dawn of the Planet of the Apes I really liked.
That's a newer one.
Oh, yeah, that's sci-fi.
It's bloody sci-fi.
No, it's not.
Yes, it is.
It is sci-fi, isn't it?
Yes.
Because science has created super intelligent apes and monkeys and such.
You're a real killjoy, you know that?
I like to think so.
What about Immortan Joe?
Sci-fi.
Is it?
Yes.
How is it sci-fi?
Where's the tech man?
The guy with the guitar
on the truck? That's a guitar!
It's not a sci-fi guitar. It's a future guitar.
It's a regular guitar! No, no.
Alright, I'll give you that one.
Okay, good. But you know what? Maybe you
could give me some. I'm doing all the work here, man.
Yeah, you've had this question in advance.
Something we should have thought of. Clubber Lang from Rocky 3. I'm doing all the work here, mate. Yeah. You're doing nothing. You've had this question in advance. Something we should have thought of.
Clubber Lang from Rocky III.
No, I hate him.
It's the best Rocky movie.
No.
He did not suffer the fall.
That's very true.
I guess you've got to go like Hannibal Lecter.
You've got to say that, don't you?
Do I got to say that?
Yeah, you've got to say it.
I only like the TV version.
Okay.
Yeah. I have not seen it
because he's delightful
and stylish
he certainly is
and a murderer
I like that a lot
three of your favourite things

should I beat that out
we're just ruining everything.
Yeah, bleep it out.
All right.
Yeah.
It's a bad one to spoil.
Yeah.
It just goes to show, I guess, how many villains are like sci-fi or comic book.
That's true, yeah.
Like, you know, your Darth Vader's your bloody, all the Marvel and D's, like the Joker and
you know what I mean?
Yeah.
What about the guy from The Shining?

Yep.

Well, this is me
answering this.
Yeah, we're good at it.
He's also not really
the villain though,
sort of.
That's true, yeah.
That's more ambiguous
characters.
That's true.
You could call John
DeVolta a villain
in that movie.
That'll do it.
That'll do it, yep.
If you think of any more,
come back to us. I'll just say them.'ll do it, yep. If you think of any more, come back to us.
I'll just say them.
I'll just say them.
I'll just say them.
This is from Phil Davitt
at Phil underscore N-V-M
hashtag weeklyplanetpod.
Question,
if you had to do a
It's a Duck Blur style review podcast
and we do
about one TV show,
what would you choose?
What would you choose, Mason?
Very in your mind,
you have to choose Red Dwarf. in your mind. You have to choose.
Red Dwarf.
Really?
Maybe.
I love that show.
Yeah, right?
And then it gets bad.
And then it gets good again.
And it gets good again, right?
Yeah.
I would love to do that, but nobody would listen to it.
Yeah, true.
I want to say it has to be something.
Chinatown in the film Chinatown.
That's the villain.
I haven't seen it.
In a way, Chinatown's the real villain.
You bloody. Don't you like Chinatown? No, I love Chinatown. Chinatown's a good film. It depends which Chinatown, the film Chinatown. That's the villain. I haven't seen it. In a way, Chinatown's the real villain. You bloody...
Don't you like Chinatown?
No, I love Chinatown.
Chinatown's a good film.
Depends which Chinatown, though.
Yeah.
I mean, a district.
Yeah, Melbourne Chinatown's just one street.
Yeah.
That's pretty good, though.
It's great, though.
I love it.
Yeah, yeah.
I want to say something like Batman the Animated Series,
but that's...
What do you talk about?
Because it's just good.
It's just good.
Exactly right, yeah.
So I think I'd want to maybe do something like...
Remember that 90s Iron Man animated show,
which may be terrible,
but I don't remember.
Oh yeah,
that's a pretty,
yeah,
okay,
yeah.
Mandarin's like a lizard man.
He's a lizard.
Yeah.
That's pretty good.
Any others that you think,
you did a Transformers episode on It's a Duck Blur.
That's correct,
I did.
Could you endure Transformers day in,
day out?
No,
they're all,
they're real bad.
But that's the point Mason
yeah I know right
wow you really
you've said a thing
that you can't take back
that's right
I would want some
inherent entertainment value
and I feel I would not
get that
if you're doing it
every week
and also there's only
a limited
there's six to eight
episodes a season
of Red Dwarf
yes correct
absolutely
this is from Paul Yang
at Yellow River Paul.
I shade with a planer pod.
Do you think the success of the MCU
has improved the quality of films in general
or worsened it?
We were just talking about this before
how you get something that comes in
and it works
and then everyone ruins it.
How much of that has crossed over
to non-superhero films? I think you're starting to see it bleed in especially in terms of it works and then people wrote and then everyone ruins it how much of that has crossed over to
non-superhero films i think you're starting to see it blade in especially in terms of
we're building a shit universe that's true for the worst then sometimes well i guess the question
would be has the mcu trans has the mcu made everybody think that they have to have a franchise
or was that happening before i think that was kind of happening before but the mcu was definitely kind of the kick in the guts to be like everybody do
this or else so i has do you think it's inspired any uh product you know any any uh movie producers
to produce or to take more chances on things no nobody takes many chances it's true do you think
it's gotten worse though or is it about the same?
It's probably about the same.
Yeah, right.
I think there's always a thing, and this is the thing at the moment.
Uh-huh, yeah.
And then there'll be a different thing in 10 years,
and then this will come back because everybody who grew up watching these
is then in the industry.
Yeah, right.
So it'll just all go around and around.
Look, Fran, yeah, I think maybe it's for the worse then.
Okay.
Because everything's just, like, if we think about one of our favourite films,
Dracula Untold.
Yep.
Think about it.
I'm thinking about it.
It's just, if you, people are, there's too much time taken in any movie
for just, like, here's the franchise building element to it.
Right.
Don't, just make a movie that's good.
Make a good movie.
Make a good movie.
Which I guess was what the first Iron Man was
they just made a good movie
exactly
almost by accident
it seems as well
when you hear them
kind of talk about it
exactly yeah
you didn't really know
what it was
he's always like
Jeff Bridges is always like
we had no script man
and a script really
ties a movie together Mason
I think so
yeah
so I'm going to say about the same.
About the same.
There's sometimes good things and there sometimes isn't.
I think we're still feeling the effects of The Dark Knight.
Like that's still kind of...
Yeah, that's true.
You're right, yeah.
Just...
That stings still.
Just keep giving the villain a really elaborate plan
that would never work on any level.
Yeah, that's right.
Just keep throwing it in there.
Exactly.
I think that's the show though then, isn't it?
Yeah.
As far as villains in a non-sci-fi context,
I'm going to say The Chair and Million Dollar Baby.
Yeah.
Isn't it a stool?
It's a stool, yeah.
That's fine.
Pretty good.
Solid work.
Good stuff.
Yeah.
What about...
Ooh, the villain in The Princess Bride.
Which one? All of them. The little bald man, the villain in The Princess Bride. Which one?
All of them.
The little bald man, the Sicilian?
Humperdinck?
No, they're the good guys.
The bloody...
Yeah, Humperdinck.
Sicilian's not...
He's not a good guy.
Wait, who are we talking about?
He gets...
The Poison competition.
Oh, yeah.
You're right.
I watched that recently.
Yeah.
That's a great movie.
It still holds up, right?
Yeah.
I'm talking Six-Fingered Man. Yeah. Okay, sure. Yeah. Yeah, that... That's a great movie it still holds up right yeah i'm talking six-fingered man yeah okay sure yeah yeah that that's a good movie it's do you feel like that's going to come
around again they're going to make a sequel to that set in real time after oh maybe that was
the idea there was going to be a sequel called buttercups baby oh really but they never got off
the ground what's it about you know it's a good stuff you know it's a good spiritual sequel to
that what's that stardust oh yeah? What's that? Stardust.
Oh, yeah.
Matthew Vaughan's Stardust.
Yeah, you're right.
I think that's the closest thing to The Princess Bride that we've gotten since that movie.
It's a funny movie.
It's good.
It's good.
It's got good action.
And it's got the Charlie Cox in it as well.
Yeah.
He's the lead in it.
