This podcast is part of the Planet Broadcasting Network.
Visit planetbcasting.com for more podcasts from our great mates.
Welcome back everybody to another episode of the Weekly Planet,
official podcast of comicbookmovie.com where we talk movies, comics, TV shows.
My name is James, also known as Mr. Sunday.
With me as always is my co-host, Nick Mason.
I've got my hearing back.
Oh, good.
For listeners who don't know, we took a little trip during the week for secret podcast business.
I went on a plane for the first time in a very long time.
And you had a great time and everything went well.
I hated it and I went deaf.
When we landed back in melbourne the pressure did a
thing and my hearing went and then i was deaf and then i went to bed deaf in terror thinking that
maybe my hearing would never come back and then i woke up and i had i had hearing again and now
we can continue to podcast unless i lose my hearing again oh yeah i didn't realize before
that day that you were terrified of flying i hate it why though because of the hearing thing just the hearing thing it happens every time but also uh no i don't know just
impending death what if you put they should be on rails is what i'm saying but in the sky yes what
if you put but you don't like roller coasters either oh it's a really good point now that i
think about it you know if you put if you chew gum and put it in your ears doesn't work no that's
an easier way to go deaf, is what I'm saying.
That's what I'm going to say.
If that's what your ultimate goal is, yeah.
Anyway, we've got some stuff done.
Speaking of podcast business,
if I can get one piece of podcast business out of the way,
this week I was on an episode of Don't You Know Who I Am?
You were.
Which is one of our Planet Broadcasting compatriots,
Josh Earle,
has a podcast where four people get together
and we have to answer questions about each other.
And who you are. And who you are.
And who we are.
Yeah, no, I've heard it's great,
but I haven't listened to it yet.
It's a funny good old time.
So it was myself, Greg Larson from Fancy Boy,
Ben Russell, Laura Dunaman,
and I either won or I lost
or I came somewhere in the middle.
Very good.
But everybody on board is very, very funny,
so everybody should probably check that out.
Yes.
Then I'm definitely going to listen.
Look, I'll tell you how much of a good time
the listeners are going to have
is that I came out of it going,
man, everybody's a lot funnier than I was.
I didn't think I did well at all.
I feel like that every time.
This is not great.
So what I'm saying is everybody else was real funny.
So everybody should definitely check that out.
It's a great show too.
I will link that below.
You're welcome, Mason.
Yeah, I, in research, well research well not researching but in going like in
preparation for going the episode i listened to a whole bunch of old ones yeah and i've already
listened to but i listened to them again and i'm like man these are funny i'm oh no i'm real nervous
and also uh for the pod for the podcast uh josh asked you to send over like a couple of funny
stories about yourself you messaged me and i messaged a number of people like, what's interesting about me?
Because you freeze up.
Yeah.
You freeze.
I didn't know you were terrified of flying.
I could have put that in.
Yeah, you could have put that in.
But like, I'm like, I can't think of anything.
No, I couldn't think of anything.
For me, I mean.
Yeah, when you put yourself on the spot.
And then you get it eventually enough.
And then as soon as the pressure was off, I'm like,
oh, yeah, all those stories that happened, I remember now.
So next time, if I'm invited back again.
Unlikely.
Very unlikely, but I have more stories, so it's fine.
Depending how well the downloads go.
If they go well, you'll be back.
I'm back regardless.
Well, he wasn't that funny, but boy, it helped out, didn't it?
It helped the analytics, didn't it?
Anyway.
It is a great show and he's a great dude.
Nice.
Yeah.
As I said, it's linked below.
Sad news though, Mason.
You're too busy caught up in your own neurosis.
No, that was already sad news.
No, this is definitely sad news.
I shamed myself on that podcast.
This week, Joan Lee,
or sorry, last week,
Joan Lee, wife of Stanley,
of 70 years passed away.
She did.
That's very sad.
They released a statement saying,
yeah, it's sad news to confirm
that she passed away quietly in the morning,
surrounded by family. And the family asked her, yeah, it's sad news to confirm that she passed away quietly in the morning, surrounded by family.
And the family asked her, please,
give them time to grieve and respect their privacy during this difficult time.
They were married in 1947.
Wow.
Yeah.
Wow.
I didn't think you could even get married back then.
You weren't allowed to.
That's right.
You were one of the first.
But no, it was.
Heterosexual marriage was illegal.
That's right.
In 1947.
Yeah.
But it was
well we just
just before we started
on the Marvel YouTube channel
there's like a five minute
Joan Lee tribute
where Stan Lee talks about
how they met
which is actually
it's a really funny story
how he actually
went to the building
where she works
to meet somebody different
and he accidentally met her
wow
and then they ended up
getting married
and he also
that woman was Joan Rivers
dodged that bullet.
She's real sassy.
She'd be sassing you all day.
You couldn't escape it.
That's right.
She'd wake up, she'd be heckling you.
I mean, she's dead now, but still.
No, I don't care.
Let's put the boot in Mason.
Oh, no.
No, I'm sure Joan Lee's also very lovely.
Yeah.
Not Joan Lee.
Bloody, the one you said, Joan Rivers.
Joan Rivers.
But yeah, she also,
she's credited with helping him create the Fantastic Four.
They mentioned this in that interview as well,
but he wasn't really happy at Marvel,
so she kind of encouraged him to kind of do something that he would love.
Yeah.
He said he wasn't happy at Marvel.
He said he was going to quit.
Yeah.
And she said, well, if you're going to quit,
because the publisher said, just write dumb stories where there's a lot of fights.
Yeah.
People meet up and they fight and that's it.
They talk about their powers as they shoot their powers at each other.
And he was like, well,
I'd rather create something with some characters that have some heart to them.
And she said, well, why don't you just do that?
I mean, the worst thing they can do is fire you and you're going to quit anyway.
So it's like, okay.
And then he got together with Jack Kirby and they did the Fantastic Four.
Yeah.
And then it turned out that was a real, got some real numbers.
And I feel like the Fantastic Four would be more kind of,
people would remember it more fondly if they'd had a good movie.
Yeah, that's very true.
Because I feel like at this point I'm like, I'm sick of them or whatever.
But on the back of this, I'm like, you know what?
Maybe now's the time to be like, because she, in a way,
in a big way kind of encouraged that creation.
Yeah, and then after, you know, Marvel were like,
can you make more comics that are like this,
with actual characters that aren't billionaire playboys
that we can relate to in some way?
Exactly.
So she's credited on some animated stuff from Marvel as well.
I think she voiced Madam Webb at one point.
Really?
Yeah, yeah.
There you go.
So, look, it's, I mean, I can't even imagine that, you know, stuff from Marvel as well. I think she voiced Madam Web at one point. Really? Yeah, yeah. There you go.
Look, it's, I mean, I can't even imagine that, you know, losing someone you've been married to for 70 years.
Like, it's, I cannot fathom that.
I hope to one day, potentially, but man.
Nah, you're going to go first.
Yeah, hopefully.
Yeah, for my sake.
Yeah.
And by that, I mean our relationship.
You're going to die first, and then I'll have to do the podcast by myself by yourself yeah you can do two voices two voices well that is that people
think that that's a thing isn't it they really don't think that's a that's a both of us are you
yeah yeah but no so she will be missed up stanley's you know would obviously be devastated can i
provide a heartwarming segue sure i've got a new loot crate. Oh, God. Oh, no. That was the worst.
No, that was great.
Speaking of the Fantastic Four.
Well, I was going to say speaking of Fantastic Four.
No, because this month's theme.
No, it's fine.
It's fine, James.
It's what she would have wanted.
Yeah, I guess.
Yeah.
This month's theme is Alter Ego.
Okay.
Right, what have we got?
Well, I cracked the box open.
You know how I collect Optimus Primes?
Yeah, you do.
The loot crate box is an Optimus Prime.
You fold it into an Optimus Prime.
A truck or a man.
Truck.
Very good.
Truck.
So I'm going to put this together
and bloody put it next to all my other Optimus Primes.
My Power Master Optimus Prime.
My Masterpiece Optimus Prime.
My regular original recipe Optimus Prime. Made masterpiece Optimus Prime. My regular original recipe Optimus Prime.
Made of chicken.
Yes.
Good.
I've sprayed it in lacquer so it doesn't rot.
You wouldn't have to anyway.
If it's KFC chicken, it's fine.
What's the thing?
What's the first thing?
The first thing is another Q-fig.
It's Spider-Man hanging off a lamppost.
And it's black and white.
It's noir style.
It's in black and white. But it's not Spider-Man noir. No, it's a spider-man hanging off a lamppost and it's black and white it's noir style it's in black and white but it's not spider-man noir no it's spider-man it's original recipe spider-man
made of chicken i wonder if i got that i think you did i think it's all that's all black and
white ones there have to have a look oh real nice very good all right well mason hold these
i've never seen one in a shop i don't understand i don't think they're as well known as the um
well i think there's they're harder to make than Funkos.
That's true.
Not all, but they're generally kind of the same.
Exactly.
These are all very specific.
Like it's Jessica Jones kicking over a wall
or like Doctor Strange doing his magic.
Kicking over a wall.
Wait a minute.
Wait a sec.
They've just painted a beard on Jessica Jones.
Yeah.
Well, look, if you can awkwardly segue us back into this,
I'll bring up some tragic news,
and then you handbrake turn into the loop train.
Yeah, great.
I would love that.
Do you have more tragic news?
Depends.
What do you think of Jeremy Renner's bones?
Do you want them intact?
Jeremy Renner's bones?
Yeah.
I guess I'd like to collect one.
Okay, sure.
So you're saying when he dies he's donating his
bones to the biggest fans yeah exactly is that you are you jeremy renner's biggest fan i think
so yeah the born alter egos what's that movie called he's in i don't remember uh he's in the
legacy born legacy yeah i haven't seen it i should yeah should you yes okay uh jeremy renner um
fractured his right elbow and his left wrist in a movie,
but it wasn't in Avengers.
Right elbow, left wrist.
Yeah.
Right elbow, left wrist.
Yeah.
Was he doing like, was he doing the Macarena or something?
Was he patting his head and rubbing his tummy?
That's probably, oh my God, you're right.
So, but apparently he's just going to press on.
It doesn't seem like he's got a cast on one and whatever.
He'll be fine.
A fracture doesn't sound like it's a clean break or anything.
That's true.
Yeah.
So also you can just CGI someone's head over somebody else.
It doesn't matter anymore.
Use his stunt double.
It's fine.
Harrison Ford snapped his leg in half on Star Wars
and they dragged his old ass back to set.
That's true.
Jeremy Ren is a young, fit man.
Yeah, exactly.
So here's my
question to you yeah um when he dies and all his bones are auctioned off to his biggest fans yeah
is a broken elbow and a broken wrist worth more or less it's not mint is it well it's not mint
but it's also rarer yeah good point yeah yeah it's like one of the you know there's that that
stamp and there's a plane on it,
but the plane's upside down.
They put it upside down, so now they're worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
It's like that.
Well, it depends how many bones he breaks on his way to the grave.
That's true, yeah.
Like if he gets there and it's all broken, doesn't mean anything.
So it depends on how he dies.
Yeah.
So if he dies in like a back of a garbage truck.
Yeah, shredder style.
Shredder style.
Then it'll be worth less less a break a broken one an
intact one will be worth a lot yeah absolutely it would so the hand that's hanging out the back
that'll be worth a lot oh this is gonna be very interesting isn't it though i hope i live live
long enough to get one of his bones me too yeah very good uh more marvel news i'm ready uh nick
fury will return in Captain Marvel.
Oh.
I like that.
Me too.
Because he's good at kind of ushering people into things, isn't he?
That's true, yeah.
He's like, hey, do this thing.
Yeah.
And they're like, I will or I won't, depending.
So I guess because he's movie to movie at this point.
Or maybe he isn't.
Oh, is he?
No, see, I feel.
I think he re-signed, actually.
Okay, right.
Yeah, but I think he had nine initially,
and then he did them all.
That's true, he did, yeah.
He used to be in every one.
Yeah.
And now he's every second or whatever, yeah.
But I feel that's more that he...
That's not him being picky.
No, absolutely not.
He'll do anything.
He'll do anything, right?
Yeah.
He'll do Ricky Gervais' extras.
That's true.
Yeah.
So, you know, good, great.
We get to see him again.
Or maybe he'll get a little action scene again.
Oh.
He has to have a little action scene now.
You can't just put him in and he's like, listen, this is the news.
No, I reckon that's exactly what I said.
I think he's had his action scene.
But even like Age of Ultron, he shoots an Ultron bot because it flies through the thing.
Oh, yeah.
He shoots a rocket launcher.
He has to fire a gun. That's true. You're right. Yeah. Okay, he'll get one. He has to fire a gun.
That's true.
You're right.
Yeah.
Okay, he'll get that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But you're right.
He has had his...
I don't think he'll get an action scene as good as the one he's already had.
That's true.
But yeah.
What do you think about that, though?
Sounds great.
Doesn't it just?
Yeah.
What else is in there, Mason?
Ooh, let's see.
Speaking of Marvel, look at this.
This is a delightful novelty.
It's a Hulk bowl.
Hulk bowl?
It's a Hulk bowl.
It's his fingers holding a bowl. Yeah It's a Hulk bowl. Hulk bowl. It's a Hulk bowl. It's his fingers holding a bowl.
Yeah.
A Hulk bowl.
A Hulk bowl.
I love it.
It's a bowl.
It's a bowl.
Do I pretend the Hulk's hands are my hands?
Yeah, I guess so.
You know what?
My hands are a comparable size.
Disagree.
Well, that hurts.
Well, because he'd be holding it and the bowl would be like teeny
tiny you're only seeing the tips of his fingers that's true you're right yeah that's a good
actually that's a good cereal depth bowl that's it's pictured with cereal oh very good that's
right i hate a shallow bowl get it out of here mason not that bowl you seem like an all-day
cereal guy i absolutely am i would only eat cereal yeah but i but as you know i make my own muesli
oh jeez i I forgot about that.
I'll tell everybody about it.
I shouldn't have given them the opening, folks.
I've been waiting.
I've actually got the recipe open in front of me.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
It went in one of the newsletters, the weekly planet newsletter.
If you go to planetbecasting.com, it's on the newsletter.
Nice.
Maybe it'll go in again.
You just turned this plug into a sharp handbrake turned into another plug for you
But a plug
Yeah but that doesn't hurt us anybody
Tom Holland said this on Infinity War
Hello
I'll be honest my voice is kind of gone
Oh no
I was going to get you to do it
Do you want me to do it?
Hang on
No it's literally I can't do it
Yeah
He's been
Hang on
Hello
No it's not bad
Alright alright here we go i'll
step in i don't feel mine is as good as yours so please don't send emails about this before yeah
this is what he said about infinity war it needs no teasing that movie literally literally literally
i'm not good at this no teasing it's got to be the biggest movie of all time. Wow. Believe me, no one is ready for that movie.
That's so...
He says...
I mean, people are like,
Tom Holland says it's going to be the biggest movie of all time.
I think he's just like, he's at a premiere, he's excited,
and he's like, it's got to be the biggest movie of all time.
Yeah, totally right, exactly.
Who knows?
Yeah.
But there's been some set leaks and whatever.
But I mean, to and from the premiere, he's like,
that's the biggest cat I've ever seen. You know, a bit of that that absolutely is yeah oh very good yeah but uh no
look i've said there's leaked set photos that i've been avoiding it's like check out who's
knocked out on this yeah exactly right i don't want to check out whose shield's been destroyed
by thanos uh wait what yeah exactly that said, we might have some spider spoilers for some stuff coming up.
So I'm a massive contradictions mason.
That's true.
Because one minute I'm eating a red rooster and the next minute I'm spruiking a delicious muesli.
Matt Reeves said this about the Batman.
I have no idea.
I have no idea about an arc.
But really the important thing
is just to start
you have to start with one
you know you have to start
with a story
and then
that begins something
so that
well he's not wrong
but at the same time
he's not saying anything
is he
exactly
but a lot of people
kind of took from that was
he's got a trilogy
kind of planned
yep
but he's like
I'll just do one
I'll make a good one
and then we'll sort of go from there
which is wise
actually I watched Rise of the Planet of the Apes the other day,
the first of the reboots.
I forgot how good it is.
That being some of the special effects are like,
oh, yeah, that's not quite as good as it's developed into.
But it's a very good movie.
As in the monkey effects.
Yeah.
Do they seem, well, I guess, again, at the time,
they seemed flawless.
Yes.
Some of them are better than others.
Like, Caesar himself is a marvel, Mason.
But, no, it's a great movie.
And especially because I watched it with my parents.
That does make everything better.
Boy, does it.
Like, 60% of that movie is just monkeys signing to each other.
Or not even, just kind of looking at each other to look.
Yeah.
So, no, it's...
I'll be honest, i cannot think of anything
worse than watching a movie with your parents my parents are my parents my parents don't talk
during movies oh really oh wow you change your opinion change my parents talk during movies no
yeah also i have no problem with my but i think it'd be i think it'd be okay do you think it'd
be more more awkward like you know some you know when you're a kid and you're watching a movie and like with your parents and a
sex scene comes on or something like that,
would it be more weird now as an adult for me to watch a movie where that
happens with my parents or your parents?
I don't know your parents very well.
So I'd be,
I'd happily sit through that.
I'd be like,
what do you think of this?
Yeah.
But I'm bloody in out.
I'd say Mason.
Oh no,
don't do that.
I'd make it real weird for them.
Yeah, good.
No, would you rather watch it with my parents or your parents?
Yeah, your parents.
Okay, good.
But no, look, the Batman, great.
Move it along, mate.
Let's bloody, let's get it going already.
What's the next Loot Crate?
Ooh, there's a Loot Crate t-shirt.
And again, going to throw it in the Optimus Prime collection.
Optimus Prime T.
Transform an Optimus Prime.
An original recipe, Optimus Prime.
You can put your t-shirt.
Underneath it should say,
which is the universal sound of a transformer.
You know what?
I want to go back to a comic
or if somebody's got it,
tweeted at us,
what noise do they use?
What words do they,
how do they spell that?
Oh, it's a script.
No, in a comic.
I should know that, shouldn't I?
Do some good transformers.
I reckon it's silent.
It's probably just clunk.
They don't even, I mean, they often don't even use,
thought balloons are gone in comics for the most part.
It's coloured squares relating to the character.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And a lot of sound effects are gone as well.
Oh, clank.
Well, I think they've also,
they do a better job of conveying sound and movement.
Exactly, yeah.
So you don't really need it.
We've come a long way.
That's true.
Baby.
Baby.
What's next?
Rumour has it, there's a rumour.
Yes.
The rumour is that it's a lock, but who knows, Mason,
that Rupert Wyatt will direct the Green Lantern Corps movie.
Who's that?
He did Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
I just talked about it.
Okay, all right. So I think that's a great
choice. Okay, great. And he knows how to work
with CGI whatever. Yeah, that's true.
So Green Lantern will be all CGI whatever
mostly. So on a weird planet.
There could be a killer wog. Yes.
There could be a gnawt. Well, Mogo's
Mogo's in that
DC logo. He is in the new
DC Studios logo.
He's one of the characters in the background
we've talked about it
haven't we
I think so yeah
no I think
he's a fine choice
I think he was going to do
Gambit at one point
but that kept getting
kind of pushed around
that's right yeah
I think if he stepped on board
yeah
fantastic
is there any more
Loot Crate Mason
there is
is this the last thing
it is the last thing
I mean there's
there's a pin in the book
I always forget
but there's all
he comes with like a pin and there's and you can and there's like downloadable comics
there's all sorts of stuff in there yeah i bloody love them good ah yeah it's uh it's a little it's
a teeny little at dc comics poster book it's got some of my faves in here hang on you love a little
book i do love a little book hang on there's bruce wayne and his dead parents that's pretty great
put that on your wall yeah i'm gonna put that on my wall put that in your parents wall as a threat
oh yeah good point there's the uh there's the uh hipster. Yeah, I'm going to put that on my wall. Put that on your parents' wall as a threat. Oh, yeah, good point.
There's the hipster Batgirl, Batgirl of Burnside poster.
That's one of my favorite covers.
This is all like new 52 covers.
Yeah, yeah.
Many of which are super great.
Are they all 52?
Or is there some rebirth in there as well?
I think it's all new 52.
Anyway, it doesn't matter if you're listening to this.
You missed out.
Yeah, that's right.
What's the game or the downloadable thing this week or comic?
It is a bonus character in a Power Rangers game.
Oh, that beat them at one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The Green Ranger.
Your favourite Ranger.
Yep.
No, is it?
I don't...
Yeah, why not?
Wasn't that your wheelhouse, though?
Power Rangers?
Yeah.
No.
Oh, all right.
We did a whole episode on it. Yeah. And I just spent the whole episode going, I wheelhouse though? Power Rangers? Yeah. No. Oh, all right. A whole episode on it.
Yeah.
And I just spent the whole episode going, I don't care about Power Rangers.
I don't listen when you talk.
So speaking of Power Rangers, this isn't in the news, but because it's doing so well on
digital, they might actually get a sequel.
So there you go.
Great.
Terrific.
So we're going to have to do another episode on it.
Good.
I love it.
I feel like it'll be with like-
We're going to have to do another episode.
We have to do it.
This is our wheelhouse, Mason.
Just because it came out in our era
but we still don't care about it
doesn't mean we shouldn't cover it.
Fine.
We're legitimate movie critic
journalisms.
Student men.
That's true.
So you've got to go
where the flow is.
Yeah.
I've got a hot scoop
but I'll do the loot crate read before okay don't mind if i do and
then we do the hot scoop and we do this is our reward this listeners this is your reward for
sitting through the loot crate ad hot scoop hot scoops uh you could sit what i'm saying is you
could you could skip ahead the loot crate yes but if you do the hot scoop will not make any sense
because james is going to perfectly segue from whatever I'm saying now to the hot scoop.
Yes.
Yeah.
So you'll be like, you'll be scratching your head.
You'll be like, it seems like a hot scoop, but I'm not entirely sure.
I've missed out on something.
It feels more of a wet slop than a hot scoop.
Yeah.
Okay.
Are you on the quest for epic gear, housewares and collectibles, Mason?
Yeah.
Probably less so because of your Hulk bowl, obviously.
That's true.
Yeah.
I mean, I've got them all at this point, but yeah.
Loot Crate's the best surprise you know is coming.
There's an epic range of pop culture items
for less than $20 a month.
With the value, it's like $45, I think.
I can't remember.
Or is it $50?
I can't remember.
It's not in front of me.
But it's more, much more than what you pay for it.
So they've got a bunch of stuff.
Help a corporation lose money.
Yeah, man.
They're like, this cost us $45 to manufacture, and we're giving it to them for $20.
But we've said we'd do it, so we can't not do it.
We're in a bind.
Oh, no.
There's a number of ones you can choose from.
I lost my house.
There's Loot Gaming. I like the traditional Loot Box. Me too. That's a number of ones you can choose from. I lost my house. There's Loot Gaming.
I like the traditional Loot Crate the most.
That's probably my favorite.
But there's also Loot Crate DX, which is the fancy one,
which we get the occasional one.
Loot Pets, never gotten it.
Don't know.
Sure, it's lovely.
It's all right.
The dog's asleep.
That's right.
The dog doesn't know you've betrayed her.
We put the dog on the plane, so she's deaf as well.
Yeah, that's true.
Now, next month is animation.
The offer expires this month.
The offer expires July 19th.

I think it was a figurine

That's lootcrate.com slash weeklyplanet, code planet code weekly planet now you have to segue into the hot scoop uh loot crate
more like han solo film nice good y'all be with that are you in the scoop yet because it seems
like you're just still doing the ad that's how seamlessly you've done that okay we've been we've
been rolling the dice on some hot scoops lately yeah we're 50 50 yeah uh the one we said last week may not be true about
the james gunn or the week before about the howard the duck but yeah right there's some
hound solo stuff that was true well hang on didn't james gunn definitely say he's not doing that
said it's not happening okay right but who knows mason yeah i mean even if it never comes out i'll
just be i'm always going to think yeah but maybe it was in development they decided not to do it that's very not on the back of this
this lie or hot scoop yes that's right i'm sure they've got like 50 things that they're thinking
yeah they're all in the whiteboard they're all in the hollywood white i'd imagine any character
that's kind of slightly prominent is being developed in some way yeah i reckon they just
do like i'm sure they do that you know in movies they have like that little
sometimes during movie testing they've got a little switch yeah and it's like yes or no
right throughout the movie when things happen people turn the switch to yes or no yes i imagine
that they've just they they've got all that data and like they go all right you know 90 of people
turn the switch to left to yes when howard the appeared. So he goes up in the rankings of stuff we're probably going to produce kind of thing.
Absolutely.
I reckon it's like one of those things where there's a whole lot of glass tubes
with like beans in them and they fill them up.
There's just a guy filling them with beans.
With beans.
Or M&M's maybe.
Or M&M's, yeah.
And then Kevin Feige has an M&M eating competition
with the producer and director of the next film.
And you'd think two people could defeat Kevin Feige
in an M&M eating competition, but he's good.
He's very good.
Yeah.
This is from Joe.
So hot scoop or lie, who knows?
Now, this is a new hot scoop deliverer.
Yes.
He's delivering a new hot scoop.
That's right.
So he's got no he's got no
pedigree he's untested he's untested okay right also it's about the han solo movie so anything
could be changed for this so we can never prove this wrong all right it's very true my film
studies uh teacher at college where has a friend who worked as an extra on han solo he said that
the set was like a fish market and olden eichenreich and amelia clark were running through the market
chased by stormtroopers and a massive stormtrooper dog they dressed up they dressed up a fucking doberman in stormtrooper
armor sounds mad tbh give it the good work so yeah i would love to see that me too yeah right
i can't imagine that would look any good i thought for a second there you meant i thought for a
second there he said it was like a fish market. And I'm like, is that a metaphor?
Right.
For what?
I don't know.
Like a bad, like a bad, stinky old workplace.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, man, you know, like everybody's like, man, I did a day's work on that Han Solo movie.
It was a real fish market over there, you know?
You know what I mean?
It was a real Doberman in Stormtrooper.
That's right.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Ah, yeah.
Cool.
I mean, it's like if Lord and Miller were doing weird stuff, yeah, maybe.
Yeah.
It's weird, though, that there are dogs in the Star Wars universe, I guess.
Though there is one in the Caravan of Courage movie.
They fight like a big dog in the woods.
Yeah, right, okay.
They're not canon, though.
It could be a dog-like alien.
It could be a dog.
It could be a dog.
They put it in Stormtrooper armor and then...
They're going to CGI something else.
Some sort of alien creature.
Yeah, good point, actually.
Yeah, you're right.
But a dog's an easy model and you can train it.
Yeah.
To do a dog thing.
Yeah.
Also, it seems that also seems like something,
unless there's a pivotal action sequence
where Han Solo brawls with a dog,
like wrestles on the ground with
a dog.
That seems very easily like something they could cut out.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah.
They could just, you know, they add it in with CGI and then they can just take it out.
Just wipe it out.
If people turn that switch to no.
Yeah.
I'm going to see a dumb stormtrooper dog.
Yeah, me too.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Bangs its head on its kennel on the way in.
Yes.
Clunk.
This second one is from a tried and true person
who has a brother working on the set.
Wait, should we have said Joe?
Should we have said Joe?
I just said, no, it's just Joe.
There's a lot of Joes.
There's a lot of Joes.
This is the second one.
I'm not going to say his name.
His brother's been working on Han Solo.
So he's had some stuff right multiple times.
Hello.
All right.
Here we go.
He described one of the issues being on set
that he was pretty much sealed in a set for
the day in a big glass circular set with lots of glass tubes with M&Ms in them.
Some M&M-ing.
Right.
A 360-degree set with a load of projection of landscapes out the window.
Despite being sealed in all day, he described it as the most beautiful set he'd ever been
on.
Anyways, inside of one of the glass tubes is...
Oh, potential spoilers for this.
It's not a massive spoiler, but I'll put a timestamp in.
Okay, right.
Inside one of the glass tubes is Beau Buffett's helmet.
This may be a spoiler or an Easter egg,
primed for big old yellow arrows and things you've missed.
I should also point out that my brother is a bit dense
when it comes to popular culture.
He once confused Channing Tatum with Jennifer Lawrence.
Sure, right?
Okay.
Has this guy working movies?
Well, Channing could be a girl's name.
Yeah, I guess it could.
Stockard Channing?
Stockard Channing.
Yeah, okay, fair enough.
But the city he worked on sounds like Camino.
Okay.
You know Camino from the Attack of the Clones?
Yes, okay.
The planet.
Oh, sure, sure.
Yeah, which explains the Boba Fett thing.
Oh, yeah, okay, that makes sense.
Would you want to revisit this weird planet?
Wasn't it just water?
It was water and glass tubes.
Then, yeah, definitely.
That was an all CGI kind of world.
It was just Ewan McGregor walking down
a green screen corridor
talking about tennis ball.
So if they've made that,
I'd be, yeah,
I'd be really interested to see
like a physical version of that.
Yeah, you?
Okay.
Yeah, sure. Yeah, except? Okay. Yeah, sure.
Yeah, except...
Oh, well, hang on.
Hang on, everybody.
Except if the premise is that Han Solo gains the eternal enmity of Boba Fett.
Like he has to go to Kamino for something.
Yeah.
And then he encounters an older, like a post attack of the clones boba
fett and then they butt heads and then boba fett's like i'll get you next time one day i'll get you
won't i you know yeah that would suck that would i feel because again not everybody has to have
that destiny and not everybody has to have this complicated backstory
and past together disagree okay then good do you think there's a i mean the han solo movies in
total flux that's true anything could be true anything could be true or not but do you think
either of those sound viable yeah okay i don't i'm not saying any of them are good but i'm saying
viable yeah viable and again disney's got enough money
that they could literally film and they could build sets and film stuff that they have absolutely
no intention of putting in the film yeah absolutely yeah just in case yeah or just to throw people off
the set yep yeah and then they had to reshoot the whole thing and all the money went down the toilet
yeah no great good stuff mason well we've got to get on to the whole thing and all the money went down the toilet.
No, great.
Good stuff, Mason.
Well, we've got to get on to the main thing we're talking about this week.
Okay.
It's been a big week for Spider-Man movies
because there was one.
Oh, yeah.
Wasn't there.
In many ways, that's the biggest kind of week
for Spider-Man movies.
Yeah, I think so.
When they release a Spider-Man movie
and people go see it and watch it.
Spider-Man Homecoming.
Yes.
On track to have a US opening weekend of $120 million.
Which is good.
Which is good, Mason.
I knew that one.
I knew that one.
Three digits good.
Three digits good.
For the most part.
For the most part, yeah.
That's generally good news.
But so that's, I mean, for the sixth Spider-Man film.
Yep.
I mean, if you count Civil War, then its seventh appearance.
That's pretty great. And eighth, if you count civil war then seventh appearance that's pretty great and eighth
if you count like those like nicholas hammond spider-man movies from like the 70s i do not i
i count them i'm gonna do a carrot when we when we get back to doing caravan of garbage yeah like
movies and stuff which we will people have asked about that a lot yeah it's just there's they're
more time consuming and but it's definitely something on the cards yeah um look spoiler alert i'm gonna do the nicholas hammond spider-man telemovie where a bunch of uni students build a nuclear bomb yes
it's real good when they get the the nuclear material i can't remember i'm looking for i saw
that one that that was at my local video shop when i was a kid and i rented that many times
speaking of caravan of garbage this week when he-shooted people, it was just a rope.
Just like a frayed string.
No, it was just like a long,
like if you can imagine
like an inch thick,
just a white rope.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There was a lot of slowly
climbing buildings.
Yeah, it's no good.
But yeah,
Caravan of Garbage this week
will be,
well, I feel like we should spoil it
because the Angry Video Game Nerd did it earlier this week and I was I feel like I should we should spoil it because the Angry Video Game
Nerd did it earlier this week
and I was like
oh no
oh we've done the same one
that means we're gonna get
people are gonna be like
you copied
we recorded this
before
well obviously before we saw that
but yeah we did
we did Planet of the Apes
on PS1
one of the worst
games ever
just it's
it hurts my feelings
yeah
just a
that'll be up a little bit early on Patreon hopefully Ben's doing the edit at the moment so have you watched best games ever. Games of all time. It hurts my feelings. Yeah. Just a, ugh.
That'll be up a little bit early on Patreon, hopefully.
Ben's doing the edit at the moment, so.
Have you watched Angry Video Game Nerds version?
I haven't, because I'm like, I don't want to see if this is similar.
I'll watch it after, but I'm like, oh, no.
But anyway, he's great.
I mean, I'm not like, oh, what a prick.
Yeah.
So, you know, he's been doing this for a very long time.
So, yeah.
Good on him.
But hopefully ours brings something new to the table or it's exactly the
same i don't know so anyway uh yeah i think that's worth checking out it'll be out tuesday
and let's patreon a bit earlier okay so spider-man's back we're gonna do spoiler non-spoilers then
spoilers aren't we mason yeah we are yeah so uh we're gonna start with the the usual thing where
you tell us what you think the story was of spider man's homecoming you even gave me a little more lead up there like you spread it out and i just
felt this sense of dread yeah because i'm like oh no it's coming but maybe he'll segue into something
else was it the sense of dread like you're slowly going deaf on a plane yes okay so uh spider-man
yeah peter parker he's spider-man yeah already he's Spider-Man. Yeah, already. He's Spider-Man and then Civil War happened
and he was all Spider-Man-ing about
and then Tony Stark's like,
hey, you did good, kid. Now
hang out in Queens. Just
do some Spider-Man-ing, but not too much Spider-Man-ing.
Do a small amount of Spider-Man-ing.
Community Spider-Man. And I'm gonna get
back to you with a
cool mission. Yeah.
And you're gonna be on the Avengers. And he's like, great, I'll just... Well, to you with a cool mission. Yeah. And you're going to be on the Avengers.
And he's like, great.
I'll just.
Well, he never kind of promises that.
Yeah.
It's kind of.
Yeah.
But, but Peter, Peter sort of assumes that's going to happen.
And so he's been, he's been waiting around in New York, in Queens for like eight months,
waiting for some Spider-Man-ing, some big time Spider-Man-ing to be happening.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
So yeah, we'll try and get this spoiler free before we get into it.
Yeah.
But if you haven't seen it, probably don't listen to this at all oh yeah sure right
as as has been pointed out we're not good at not spoiling things that's true but we are good at
spoiling things correct yeah so that's what you're here for uh did you like it yeah i did did you
like it a lot i did like it a lot do you think it was the best Spider-Man movie committed to film?
Yes, except for the one from the 70s, the telemovie one.
Disagree.
You know what?
The new Spider-Man costume does share a lot of elements with the one from the back of the day.
Which one?
His original one?
Yeah.
Like the one, his homemade one.
No, I meant the one from the 70s.
Because it's got the external web shooters.
No, I get what you mean. But the one, because you know no it's got the external web shooters no I get you
but the one
because you know
he has two in the movie
you've seen the trailers
the Civil War one
Civil War one
okay right
yeah fair enough
maybe they took
not took little bits
of body cues from it
yeah okay fair enough
what about this movie
did you love in particular
compared to all the other
Spider-Man movies
it's fun
isn't it
yeah
and I know people are like
why does everything
have to be jokes and fun
I wouldn't say
this isn't like
a joke a minute.
Yeah, sure.
It's more like a fun vibe.
Yeah, it's got a fun vibe.
Would you agree with that?
It's got the vibe.
Yeah.
And I think it did a really good job of representing a high school.
Like even though I haven't been to school in a very long time, this felt more like high school as I remember it, as opposed to the original Spider-Man, which I watched the other day.
Yeah.
Doesn't hold up super well.
Sure, right.
Comparatively.
It's very dour.
I know you bring that up a lot.
Yeah, it's true.
I meant to watch two as well because I wanted to see how it would stack up.
But that movie, look, it did a lot for comic book movies and movies in general.
Sure.
I wouldn't go that far, but all right.
I think so.
But I think if you...
What did it do for movies as a whole?
Like Blockbuster Summers.
It kicked it up a gear, man.
All right, fine, okay.
It had a huge opening.
Sure.
Yeah, and also...
I thought you were going to say something like,
Judi Dench took a lot of her performance cues from Tobey Maguire.
That's right, yeah.
And then she won that Oscar.
For Philomena.
But, you know, I think, like comparing the two,
and obviously this is built off the
back of that and what works and what doesn't, this is leagues ahead.
Yeah, totally.
If you compare them simply as two movies, not as in the time that they came out.
Yeah, sure, sure.
Right.
Uh, would you ever go back and watch that one or are you like, I'm done forever?
Yeah, I'm done.
There's good stuff in it.
Like Willem Dafoe's great.
He's a really good Green Goblin.
Yep.
J. Jonah Jameson, obviously.
Oh, of course, yeah.
But yeah, I just thought this one was just kind of next level.
Yeah, it's a good high school.
Yes.
And it isn't, you know, it isn't the popular kids and the jocks
and somebody getting thrown into a locker or whatever.
I mean, it's a little bit, but it seems more realistic.
It seems more realistic, yeah.
I did an Easter egg video, Mason. I'll link it below below it's very extensive if you don't mind staying so it's i think it's worth
checking out we get it you notice things i know there's some things that other people miss that's
right yeah but uh what i thought what i really kind of liked and i know that that version of
flash thompson isn't like your traditional flash thompson bully uh-huh the version we've got is
kind of is he's kind of an Indian kid
and he's rich and he's just a prick.
But what I remember from school was
a lot of the people, the bullies and the mean kids
weren't like giant hulking menaces.
That's true.
They were just like, just some dick.
You know what I mean?
Just like some kid who went to your school
who just thought he was better than everyone else
who was just a complete fuckwit.
That's true.
That's what I remember. It's very realistic in that sense yeah
do you think that that sort of rules out him becoming venom yes it definitely does 100 yeah
yeah and he's like he's good in that particular role but i don't there's not no they they got like
tom hardy will be the eddie brock version. Yeah, totally. Yeah, that's what we're going to be getting.
But maybe they'll mix elements of the Flash Thompson,
the other stuff that he does.
Yeah, potentially.
We'll talk about it before.
But yeah, no, so I really like that.
Even like there's, they have like school news reports
and it's really kind of awkward.
Yeah, sure, sure.
And me being like, I always go to say,
I used to be a teacher sure until recently uh that's the
kind of like film stuff that a lot of students produce just like awkward timing and pacing yeah
right just yeah i just thought it was and what i enjoyed about that also is that and it's never
outwardly stated but clearly the male anchor in the in the in the school news report has a crush
on the female and that's obviously why he took the job to do it
and she's and she's always like uh please don't stop this yeah and she's from nice guys as well
and that's that's betty betty brand i think there was a bit too much like everybody that spider-man
you was kind of growing up is in that school like there's a a lot of that. Oh, sure, sure, sure.
Maybe Betty Brandt did go to school with him.
I don't know.
It's not a big deal.
They didn't make a big deal of it.
But yeah.
Well, they recast Flash.
There's a new Aunt May who was fine.
I didn't think she was like standout.
No.
What I enjoyed about Marisa Tomei's Aunt May in this film is they clearly try to granny her up more.
With the glasses.
With the glasses.
And the high-waisted dress.
And the high-waisted pants.
And kind of like the 70s clothes.
Yeah, yeah.
And like, it didn't work.
No.
We can still say it's Marisa Tomei.
Absolutely, yeah.
And she was good,
but I didn't think she was amazing.
There's not a lot of her in it.
Sure, right.
And also, I enjoy the previous,
well, as much as you can enjoy them,
because they're not like, look at this hilarious character,
you know what I mean?
But I thought the other two did a good job, and she was fine.
I thought she was okay.
Yeah, but not a lot of screen time.
Before we kind of get into more of the story elements and action
and casting and whatnot, this kind of, this through the internet,
through a loop, Mason.
Hello.
It says at the start, it a loop mason. Hello. It says at the start,
it opens on the Avengers.
Yes.
The aftermath of
the Chitauri invasion.
Yep.
And it's...
Can I pause just briefly?
Yes.
The dog's asleep on my leg.
Yeah.
But she's at an angle,
she's slipping off
and my leg's falling asleep.
So I'm going to move the dog.
Yeah.
But just to be aware,
the dog is going to get
real mad at me.
Your coke's done up?
Yes.
Okay, good.
Because it could be a...
Because I think every second week you spill a drink down the side of the couch.
Dog's grumpy.
Hey, stop it.
Dog, I just got to move you slightly, dog.
She won't bite you.
Yeah, no.
Dog, I'm going to move you.
Dog, just move here.
Dog, move up here.
It's more comfortable here.
Come on.
There we go.
Good dog. There we go. Yeah. Okay, move here dog move up here it's more comfortable here come on there we go good dog
there we go yeah okay move here come come here yeah there we go you can cut out where the dog
gets mad at me right nah okay good dog dog see that dog's always causing trouble i was telling
your story she caused some trouble for me in the park the other day that's true you did yeah i won't
get into that okay you're a good dog there we. Was it her fault? What do we got here?
I can't remember.
There was a controversy.
Yeah, so it opens on the Avengers.
I guess this isn't a spoiler
because it's in the opening minutes.
The end of it,
and there's damage control,
and you see Adrian Toomes
as the vulture and whatever.
In this, I believe,
you know what disappointed me a little?
Not enough damage control?
Well, damage control in this
is like the US Department of Damage Control.
Yes.
They're not...
Well, they're Stark funded, aren't they?
Yeah, or something, or it's a collaboration or something.
But in the...
I mean, there's still room for kind of...
I always liked the idea that they're like a bumbling corporation of just misfits.
In this, they seem quite capable.
But there's always room for there to be,
I don't know, for whatever reason,
if there's a damage control series or a movie,
they're just like the rejects
or they're the B-team or something like that.
Yeah, absolutely, yeah.
And then it goes eight years later
and it cuts to the modern day.
Oh, so what you're saying is
the Chitaurian Avengers came in in 2012.
So Spider-Man is set in 2020 or Avengers is set in 2009.
Okay.
And people are saying that like Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2 all take place
in a very small window and then the Avengers happens soon after that.
Okay.
Sure, sure.
Right.
Which is probably what has happened here.
Yeah.
Because apparently Doctor Strange definitely takes place in 2016. Okay. All right. Yeah. that. Okay, sure, sure. Which is probably what has happened here. Because apparently Doctor Strange definitely takes place in 2016.
Okay, all right.
Yeah, so.
Okay.
I don't think it's.
Well, but seeing that in the theater, I was like, wait, what?
Like that was, that kind of threw me for a bit.
Didn't even cross my mind.
Because you're so into movies.
Yep.
Very good.
Yeah.
Anyway, I don't really think it's that big a deal.
No, it was.
But no, it did kind of, it was, it did kind of have me scratching my head.
That was probably the lice.
Maybe, yeah.
Peter Parker, we've got a new Peter Parker.
We've seen him before, though.
What do you think of Tom Holland?
He's actually 21.
He's older than I thought,
which also means you better crank these sequels out.
Like, get him going.
Yeah, right.
Because he's not going to look like that for long.
Yeah, right.
What do you think?
Good, good fun.
Do you think he's the best representation we've had?
Yeah.
Even the 70s one?
Yes.
Even the Japanese Spider-Man?
Yeah, even the Japanese one.
Okay, fair enough.
All those things.
Yeah, no, I think he really looks and acts kind of like a kid.
Andrew Garfield, I think we're the same age.
So when he was Spider-Man, I'm like, this is weird.
Yeah, exactly.
Because he's still in high school.
Yeah, and Tobey Maguire was like 28 or 26 or whatever when he did it.
But no, I thought he'd...
I mean, he can play a kid, like a bumbling kind of kid really, really well.
Sure, he's got abs and he can do flips,
but he just seems like a kid who's not only...
He enjoys school and he enjoys his friends
and he likes building Lego and whatever.
Yeah, right. But also there's a joy in him going out helping people in spider man and he's kind of
he's not great at it yet either that's true yeah like he'll get hit in the head or he'll accidentally
stop a guy who's trying to get the keys out of his car thinking he's a robber or whatever
so i like so it does an origin without you see his uncle shot and then he swears revenge and
then he learns a lesson and then whatever you know what i mean they just kind of bypass that but they show us the side of the
origin which we haven't seen before yeah which i liked yeah and yeah and the the you know there's
a there's a point where he tells somebody look don't stress out my aunt because you know what
she's been through yes and we know that it's the death of her husband. Yeah. We don't have to see it again because we get it.
We've seen it.
Yeah.
But yeah, so no, I like that a lot.
And I think he was really good.
And I think he's really well cast.
Tony Stark also didn't kind of overshadow the movie
as much as I was kind of worried that he might.
Sure, sure.
The stuff about him, I kind of,
they did spoil a lot in the trailers,
but there was still some minor story points which were kept hidden.
Yeah, exactly right.
Major action sequences, they were all laid out,
which was kind of a shame.
Absolutely, yeah.
And even the bit where he steps out of the suit.
On the rooftop.
On the rooftop.
I guess that's probably more spoilers.
I guess I'll save that for later.
But, yeah, that would have been a better kind of,
it would have been a more shocking moment if i
hadn't seen it in the trailer yeah totally you know what i mean but yeah what about villains
mason there was a lot of them but it didn't feel like there's a lot of villains in this and it's
bogging this down that's true there's two shockers yes uh there's the tinkerer yep and there's the
vulture and there's maybe others i can't remember okay yeah there's at
least those i feel the vulture is the best villain potentially the best marvel villain
we've ever had yeah yeah there's one the final twist on him i didn't really love i'm like ah
this again which i'll get into in spoilers but no i his motivations were clear oh yeah because
the reason he's robbing stuff is because tony stark came in and took
away his contract to yeah but i also think this this is a yeah but this this he works as a villain
because he thinks what he's doing is absolutely correct yeah and he even makes you think that
what he's doing is absolutely correct should we save that for spoilers yeah i completely agree
but i was like yeah any number of points.
And Keaton puts in a great performance.
Doesn't he? And I'm like, you know what?
That's actually what we'll get into.
But I'm like, that is a really good point.
Yeah.
That's exactly it.
And also, it's again, this Tony Stark thing of, it's his fault again.
Yeah, it really is.
And he's blaming everybody else.
Yeah.
He took a man's job and a whole lot of people's jobs away from an incident which he had a hand in.
Sure, right.
And I know he's trying to do the right thing, but he's taking money away from people.
Yeah, right.
So he kind of deserves it.
Yeah.
But then he's like, Spider-Man, this is above your pay grade or whatever.
Stay out of it.
But he's not really doing anything about it.
Yeah, sure, right. He's not really hands-on you've got automated iron man suits you could probably do
this yourself right from the shower if you wanted to you know what i mean but hey yeah but no what
i also liked about the vulture is he's just a guy yes but the difference between him and doc ock
which i kind of liked that whole sequence thinking back on double toasted it's a great youtube channel
and podcast that martin one of the guys on there does this whole rant not as good as
yours and mine though correct uh-huh it might be better but uh it probably is but he he has a there's
like this 26 minute spider-man 2 rant about how dumb spider-man 2 is okay and one of the things
is and i've said this before as well the the octopus man doc ock yes like he goes he gathers everybody
into a room and he's like i'm gonna make create this sun and don't worry everybody because i'm
using these octopus arms they're going to drill into my spine and then that's going to control
it and nobody went excuse me that's amazing that in itself is an amazing advance yeah that's true
like if you're paraplegic if you've lost lost limbs, you know what I mean? Like that is some next level shit.
Yeah, exactly right.
And nobody says anything about it.
And then somebody out of nowhere goes, excuse me, isn't there a chance that the arms will,
the artificial intelligence will override your brain?
And he's not just like, why would that be it?
Why would that happen?
Right, yeah.
And then he's got this like, don't worry, I've got this chip, this very visible chip
that's going to.
Yeah, that'll do it. And I love Spider spider-man too i think it's great yeah but the vulture in this is oh and the another
another flaw of that and i've said this before in a video is doc ock is just a man yes and peter
parker hits him in the head a lot oh absolutely yeah there's exactly there's no there's no point
where he gets you know he also ingests the goblin formula and now he's indestructible or what have you.
He's just sort of a late middle-aged kind of overweight man.
Yeah, that's right.
That's the whole thing.
Yeah, like speaking of the octopus arms, like, yeah,
it's because they need the two contrivances.
They need a superior origin in Dr. Octopus
and they need a device that can destroy the city.
So they have to put them both into the lab accident whereas again if he just invented the
arms people will be like that's incredible that's the best i feel i always feel that same way about
iron man people like the suits are great but also you built this art you built jarvis who's a
completely autonomous artificial intelligence before Before. Yeah. Yeah.
It's bloody hell.
It is bloody hell, isn't it? And this endless power reactor as well.
Yeah, exactly.
But also in this, he's just got them loosely in a crate.
It's true, yeah.
Anyway, but what I like about the Vulture in this,
he is just a guy, but what he's created is something
where you can't get near him, like the man.
Right, sure, sure.
Because it's just this hurricane of
power and energy and blades yeah yeah yeah that even though there's a man in it he's very safe
yeah that's true so i i love that aspect of it yeah i thought it was and when he kind of when
he's bearing down on spider-man or something yeah it's hot like he's horrifying yeah i think we
spoke i think when we you know many months ago
when this movie was in production i think we were like that's what i want to see in this not like a
because he is an older man yeah he's 60 at least yeah yeah and but what he's got is like this
yeah this gigantic big bird i don't know but it's no it's like this you know this this it's condor man times three it
really is at least just this this gigantic predator yeah down on it yeah yeah it's incredible
yeah it kind of reminded me a bit of um uh horizon zero dawn like the big metal birds in that that
are just yeah horrifying what i also like about the vulture uh wings and the
the flight system is that he's he's sort of got a launch bay like iron man yeah the first iron man
yes so it's kind of like well this is how the technology progresses in this universe you start
out that you have to sort of stand in a in a thing in a thing and then the door forms around you kind
of thing yeah whereas iron man suits now just you, he can squeeze out of them from any direction.
That's right.
They can all fly around in bits.
Yeah, that's it.
Yeah.
And I also liked, I really enjoyed the way that all the tech
that they were using was from previous movies.
Yeah, agreed.
Oh, it's a Atari arm.
Oh, that's a gun.
Oh, that's a whatever.
Yeah, a gun.
I enjoy that a lot.
That's a gun, yeah.
The cops had a gun?
They had a gun.
Like, even like the Shocker's gauntlets.
Yeah.
Crossbones's concussion gloves from Civil War.
Oh, right.
Okay, sure, right.
They're tweaked.
So there's little things like that which I really liked.
The action in this I liked a lot, but again, it's stuff that we saw.
We saw the bit with the Lincoln Monument.
Yep.
We kind of know how they saved the other-
No, see, that's the thing.
I did not know that.
You hadn't seen that in the trailers because it's in all the trailers i mean i've yes but i sort of
i don't know but we the i mean we know sort of what is going to happen yeah but i think we don't
see how spider-man leaps in and saves the day we don't see or not or not or what have you like
we just know that.
I think that was a surprise to me because really all we saw in the trailers
was there was going to be some drama
at the Washington Monument.
Yeah, okay, fair enough.
I think there's a little bit more to it in that.
Maybe it's because I look at trailers too much.
Maybe.
I have to, most of the time.
Yeah, you do.
We get it.
But yeah, like the boat thing,
we'd seen the resolution of.
Yeah, sure.
And even we knew kind of
where the final showdown was happening,
that being said,
being in the theater and watching it,
I wasn't like,
yep,
get through it.
I was,
I was,
I was a hundred percent on board.
Cause there's a lot of kind of like,
this guy does not know what he's doing.
Like he's not ready for this.
Like he's not prepared for this.
Yeah.
So it does have that sense of tension.
He's not in control,
but he kind of,
he thinks he is,
he thinks he's got a handle on it.
Yeah, right.
But even there's, and I said this in my review,
there's bits where, well, like when he goes to stop the bank robbers,
you see him, he walks in and he contemplates how he's going to stand.
Yeah, that's true.
And what he's going to say.
And he's kind of, and I like that where he's getting his kind of fursona.
Yeah.
Developing it as he goes.
Exactly, because he's looked towards all the other heroes and he's like,
well, what would Captain America do?
Or what would Iron Man do kind of thing? And he kind of has to, he's looked towards all the other heroes and he's like well what would captain america do or what would iron man do kind of thing and he kind of has to he's like well i
gotta build an image somehow yeah thing you know that's it yeah what do you think in the new suit
do you think it was too much yes i do but i think probably in the next one he's gonna get a downgrade
right i reckon the new suit well we're talking about the new spoilers yeah i think the point
of it though was that it is too much.
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah, that's definitely the point.
Like it's supposed to be overkill.
Somebody wrote in with a tweet.
I can't remember who it was, but it said,
why would Tony Stark build a kill mode into Spider-Man's suit?
Yeah, right.
But I guess a lot of those programs are locked.
And that's in the trailer as well.
Yeah, yeah.
That's a thing.
But no, I like seeing all the cool different stuff
because we've seen a lot of Spider-Man action.
He'll web up a guy, he'll shoot someone's mouth
and they'll be like, I can't talk.
Yeah, right.
There's like web grenades and taser webs
and a bunch of other stuff that we hadn't seen before,
which was super cool.
Yeah, but I mean, you know, absolutely.
The point of all of that is that he doesn't need any of it.
Yeah, but he kind of does
yeah but like you know he he's he doesn't know where he is yet at being a superhero but i think
that you know the point of this movie is again if you if you if you you know you can't handle the
suit what what's what's the what's the expression if you if you if you need the suit then you're not
worthy you're not ready to do it yeah yeah but're not ready to do it. Yeah, yeah.
But I like there's even a moment where they're having a conversation about it and Spider-Man to Iron Man is like, I'm ready for this.
You know, I fought Captain America and Iron Man's like,
he could have killed you.
Yeah, if he wanted to.
But he chose not to, you know.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, which I thought was cool.
I don't know.
I think maybe we should move into spoilers.
Let's do it.
I'm going to say best movie ever
absolutely
had a really good time
I might even go back
yeah
we meant to
if I had more friends
we'd go back
we missed that screening
for separate reasons
which will
actually I've got to
email Michael about that
I'm so sorry
if you're listening Michael
it was Mason's fault
no it wasn't actually
but
let's talk about it
in terms of
recent films
okay how did it compare to Doctor Strange better than Doctor Strange agreed how did it compare to Ant-Man but let's talk about it in terms of recent films, okay?
Okay.
How did it compare to Doctor Strange?
Better than Doctor Strange.
Agreed.
How did it compare to Ant-Man?
I think it was better than Ant-Man.
Agreed.
How did it compare to Civil War?
I liked Civil War more, I think.
Yeah, just because Civil War had more...
Civil. Yeah, more civility to it, didn't it? Yeah. I think yeah just because Civil War had more civil
yeah
more civility to it
didn't it
yeah
no but I think it had
more new characters
and I like that
I like that we got
the introduction of
Black Panther
I think the action
you know what
I liked Civil War
because it had
it really
it really built on
the characters
and the fact that
you could tell
you know
each character
had their own
each character has their own.
Each character has, since we've seen all these movies, we know how each character moves and fights and acts.
Yeah.
And kind of, and I think those things were all really, really accurate and they all worked really well together.
Okay, fair enough. You know what I'm saying?
Civil war.
Yeah.
That's what you're saying?
There was a bit of a civil war to the whole situation.
Civil War.
Yeah.
What were you saying?
There was a bit of a Civil War to the whole situation.
I think it's weird because Civil War was kind of out of my consciousness because it feels like a while ago.
Yeah, right.
No, I remember coming out and being like, that's amazing.
But now I'm like, I won't watch that for a very long time.
Okay.
So I don't know.
I don't know if I can compare them.
I think they're on par.
Yeah.
Okay, fair enough.
Yeah, I think they're a lot of fun.
But different, Mason.
A bit different.
Similar but different.
Similar but different.
Okay.
And compared to the other Spider-Man films
you'd think it's
obviously better
much better
okay
best movie ever
yes
spoilers
yes
Vulture
yes
motivations
you wanted to talk about it
what a twist
what are you doing
what a twist
you liked it
but that's the thing
he was like
you know
he speaks to Spider-Man
and he says
listen
all those guys up there they don't care about you.
They're rich.
They want to, you know, what have you.
And you should be with us
because you're one of the little guys kind of thing.
And he's not wrong.
He's not wrong.
It's a very convincing argument.
I guess if he wasn't hurting people.
Well, yeah.
I mean, obviously the difference is he's selling these weapons to people
and they're robbing banks and they're what have you yeah but again banks are insured man so
aren't they but they're shooting up delis by accident yeah that's true yeah you're right
give them you give one to the wrong person and you know it's all over but no i i thought i thought
that was a very compelling argument what i didn't like one thing i really didn't like about this was
that he turned out to be liz allen's father he didn't like that one thing I really didn't like about this was that he turned out to be Liz Allen's father.
You didn't like that?
No, because we've seen it before.
Have we? Where?
Look, this did the... Oh, you mean with the Green Goblin?
Yeah.
And this did the best version of Spider-Man being discovered.
Right.
Like it wasn't like an obvious thing where, you know, in the first Spider-Man, having just watched it,
he's got the scratch on his arm and Willem Dafoe's like, oh my God, it's the guy.
It's the same guy.
But this, they're sitting in the car and you see him piecing it together yeah right and then he's like probing he's asking questions and peter park is just sweating in the back yeah yeah like
but he's such a dad asking questions yeah no but i thought that was uh no i liked that particular
scene but i'm like oh this again really but i think it did it better than the other movies right right yeah okay that's my opinion mason okay i like it but you know there's a lot of like
my girlfriend's dad found out i'm spider-man although that was in like the amazing spider-man
or whatever yeah right it was once oh sure yeah but at the same time i also so that that so if
we can follow on to the end point you didn't like the idea that once the vulture was in prison.
No, I liked...
Somebody asked...
I liked that.
I didn't think he needed to be...
Like, it was just that he happened to be Liz's dad.
Like, what are the chances?
But yeah, I think everything built around it,
like him going into jail at the end
and then deciding not to rat him out.
I thought that was good.
I liked, yeah.
And I also loved the fact that he was...
When they're going
to homecoming dance,
Liz gets out of the car
and closes the door
and the vulture's like,
you saved my daughter's life
and I owe you for that
so I'm not going to kill you.
Yeah.
But if you get back into this,
I am going to kill you.
Yeah.
I thought that was interesting.
Absolutely.
Yeah, I agree, Mason.
Good.
And then he saved him at the end.
He did.
Yeah.
Because there were too many arc reactors.
That's true.
He has a lot of arc reactors, doesn't he?
Yeah, well, he's got a lot of Iron Man bots now, I guess.
Yeah, I guess he does, yeah.
Or he blew them up, and that's why he has arc reactors.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Also, it's interesting that Pepper Potts is back,
despite the fact that they broke up
because he wouldn't stop making Iron Man suits.
Or he blew them all up.
I can't remember why they weren't.
No, because he...
He was paranoid or something
what was it
Civil War reason
so in Iron Man 3
at the end of Iron Man 3
he blows up
all his Iron Man suits
because Pepper's like
he'd spend it
because he had PTSD
so he kept staying
in his lab
making Iron Man suits
and then he got over PTSD
because that's just
what happens
you just get over it
it's fine
and then Pepper's like
then he's like
I'm going to prove
I'm all about this
and not be an Iron Man so I'm going to blow up all my suits and I'm going to get surgery in China or whatever and then pepper's like then he's like i'm gonna prove i'm all about this and not be an iron man so i'm gonna blow up all my suits and i'm gonna get surgery in china or whatever
yeah and then i'm not gonna be iron man anymore long live the chinese government in civil war
uh captain america's like where's pepper and he's like she broke up with me because i kept making
iron man suits but now apparently she's fine with it well because he's down to like he's down to
like two iron man suits and like those drones
that put a ship back together
yeah
he was like
listen Pepper
I'm just making a
a big jet thing
filled with drones
that can put a ship back together
and she's like
I guess
yeah what are the chances though
that's a weird loophole
I guess
it's a ship that puts
I bet they all go together
to make an Iron Man suit
yeah that's right
if they wanted to
yeah like
there's probably a scene they cut out where it turns make an Iron Man suit as well. Yeah, that's right. If they wanted to. Yeah, like there's probably a scene they cut out
where it turns into an Iron Man suit behind her back.
And if she turns around, it breaks up into two.
It's dancing behind her, yeah.
What I did like about...
So there's a couple of moments where Iron Man rescues Peter Parker.
Yeah, right.
There's one where the Vulture drops him out of the sky.
Yes.
And his parachute activates and he hits the water.
And then he's like, thanks he hits the water and then and then
he's like thanks for coming rescue me i really appreciate it he's like i'm not here yeah right
i'm an indian waiting yeah and then later yeah he's like you're not even here for this man when
he saves him in the ferry shut up you don't even know what you're talking about and he steps out
of it yeah right like i think that would have been a great moment if i had not if i'd not have
seen that oh shit he really turned up for this. Oh, yeah. Because he heavily implies, well, he tells him outright
that I don't care about you enough to keep close tabs
on anything you're doing.
Yeah, yeah.
But that's not the case.
He's been following him very strictly.
That's true.
Side note, I'm pretty sure Robert Downey Jr.
just wears his own clothes in these movies now.
Why do you say that?
It's just, it's, he...
Says number one actor.
It does, that's true, yeah.
Yeah, I won an Oscar for Chaplin, it says.
No, it's just because he looks exactly the same whether he's in the movie or like on
the red carpet.
It's just the beard.
They're the same clothes.
No, it's definitely the same clothes.
Yeah?
Yeah, yeah.
But he just has to grow the beard.
Oh, he just has to grow the beard.
Yeah.
Or maybe they just CGI'd on him now.
Yeah, it doesn't matter anymore.
It doesn't matter.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I think it was a good use of him though in general.
Yeah, it wasn't too much.
No.
No. Yeah. It's definitely not an Iron Man movie.
No, that's true.
But I also...
You know what one trope that this movie had that I didn't really care for?
Do you mean rope?
Because of all the ropes?
It's because of the Spider-Man ropes.
Yeah.
Exactly.
All of his ropes that he shoots out.
Yeah, sure.
What I didn't like was that...
And I understand that Happy's kind of an idiot.
Yeah. That's kind of his bit but i didn't like the fact that it was a situation where the adults don't believe the
kids yes in a teen movie yeah fair enough it was they could have found a different way because
you know there's he's lit there's a there's a you know there's this arms dealing ring in Queens and in the US
and like they're building super weapons that are just,
they can blow up a city.
Clearly, yeah.
Dangerous.
And Happy Hogan gets a call from Peter's friend who's like,
there's a problem.
And he's like, nope, goodbye.
Yeah.
Like even if that character is an idiot, I don't, I don't buy that.
No.
You know, I guess it's fine.
Oh, yeah, because it has to be Spider-Man.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah.
I also don't feel like Tony Stark was not across that.
He's like, no, I sent FBI guys.
It's not enough.
Exactly.
I was just about to say that.
It's definitely not enough, especially once they've got,
like he knows they've got alien super weapons.
Yeah. If you send in a half you know
three or four fbi guys it's not enough no and i guess what would have happened there you've
sent in shield sending shield yeah yeah whatever shield are doing whatever they're doing exactly
right yeah but i guess maybe they were just going to watch the arms deal and not interfere
getting cut in half like that was never a goal, but hey.
It's all movies, isn't it?
Sure is.
A couple of post-credits.
There's one where Captain America tells everybody...
Oh, do we have more stuff to talk about in this one?
Oh, yeah, totally.
This is just next to my list.
Oh, yeah, cool, cool.
All right.
Did you feel like they put Chris Evans in the suit
and they filmed it all?
Yes.
And then at the end, he really was kind of fed up?
No.
Just kind of like, how many of these am I doing?
No, that's a fun little trope
yeah
but do you think that was
I think
I feel like that was him
actually saying that
no I don't think it was
no that's in the script
that's definitely
that's definitely
the idea
he didn't look angry about it
no no
but I think that's definitely
the idea being
that
you know
actually I also loved
Hannibal Buress as the
the coach or whatever
and he's like
I guess I'm,
I guess Captain America is a war criminal now,
but here's the thing anyway,
we're going to watch it.
But I think the idea being that Captain America has been,
he's been unfrozen and they've gone,
okay,
you have to do instruction of videos and bullying and sports and blah,
blah,
blah.
And that's the bit it's just.
Yeah,
absolutely.
But I also think that they obviously filmed those all at once.
And maybe Chris Evans just said that.
Nah, I don't think...
We'll never know, Mason.
I 100% know in my heart that that is not true.
Let's find out.
Have you ever...
Did you ever watch...
There's a very famous...
Not very famous.
There's a Dana Carvey sketch.
It was on Saturday Night Live, but it was also on the Dana Carvey show,
where he's being a famous...
I think it's Dan, rather. He's being like a famous newscaster who decides he wants to go, we enter on like
a, like the news desk and he's repeating like, he's kind of, he has to, he wants to go on
holiday to the Hamptons for months.
And so he has to record every, he has to record the lead for every conceivable news story
before it happens.
And so they're on presidents.
So he has to record all the different ways Gerald Ford is going to die.
So it's like he's died at 83.
He's died at 84.
He's been eaten by wolves.
The corpse of Richard Nixon rises up to the grave
and strangles him to death.
And he has to just keep doing all this.
And it leads up to the point where he's like,
Gerald Ford is dead today and I'm gay.
And they're like, he's like, wait, what?
And he's like, why?
And he's like, but I'm not gay.
And he's like, well, today you're not gay.
But I mean, what happens is you wake up one morning,
you're like, man, Gerald Ford dies and you wake up one morning you're like man Gerald Ford dies
and we're screwed
so
what do you
everybody look that up
hang on
I'm going to see if it's
Gerald Ford
it's probably
hang on
that sounds good
maybe it's Dan Rather
I can't remember
anyway that's the bit
that's the bit
that's the bit
okay cool
I do like those little
Captain America moments
though
I enjoyed his little
his appearance
I forgot to put this
in my easter egg video
there's like
you see a photo of Bruce Banner in the school yep I don't know why they'd have that he's a monster but so I enjoyed his little, his, his appearance. I've got to put this in my history video. There's like,
you see a photo of Bruce Banner in the school.
Yep. I don't know why they'd have that.
He's a monster and a murderer,
but Hey,
whatever.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
And also the,
the,
the principal is the grandson of the howling commandos guy.
It's the same actor.
There's an M I can't remember.
Hang on.
Who is,
who is what?
The principal of Peter's school.
His grandfather was in the howling commandos.
Oh, right. He's even got a photo of him in his office. Dana Carvey plays Tom Brokaw. Okay. Peter's school, his grandfather was in the Howling Commandos. Oh, right.
He's even got a photo of him in his office.
Dana Carvey plays Tom Brokaw.
Okay.
That's the news anchor.
Don't know who that is.
Okay, doesn't matter.
Yeah.
Very good.
Okay, so this was, I didn't love this.
I thought it was weird and kind of, it felt, the MJ reveal was strange.
Okay.
Yeah.
How so?
Well, it's not Mary Jane Watson for one, so it might not even be.
How do you know it's not?
Because she says her name's Michelle Jones and Mary Jane's name is Mary Jane.
Maybe Mary Jane Watson.
Acting name?
Acting name.
Yeah, it's possible.
Or like model name.
Right.
I'm not against it.
I don't really care, but it felt very kind of like, huh?
Yeah.
Okay.
Right. Okay. Great okay did it feel like see
i feel it was less egregious than at the end of the dark knight rises when he's like i'll use your
given name robin so i felt it was like that i felt it was nothing like that because why would
why would the character be why would his given name name be Robin and then his vigilante name also be Robin?
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Why wouldn't they say, why don't you use your given name?
Maybe he called himself Nightwing.
We don't know whether he would.
That's true.
You're right.
Okay.
It is a parallel universe.
But why wouldn't he say, use your given name Dick Grayson?
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Fair enough.
Maybe it's under that.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Good point.
We'd get it.
Yeah, we'd get it.
Because we're huge super fans.
We love movings. We love movings.
We love movings.
Yeah.
But no, I thought she had some funny moments,
but I was like, oh, he didn't need that.
Right, okay.
Or you could have handled that better.
Or just say she's Mary Jane.
Who cares?
I guess, sure.
But then...
It's not a twist.
It's just a whatever.
It's just a whatever.
That's true.
What about the rest of the supporting cast?
I liked them.
I like Ned Leeds. I like all his little friends. Yep. Liz Allen's whatever. That's true. What about the rest of the supporting cast? I liked them. I like Ned Leeds.
I like all his little friends.
Yep.
Liz Allen's fine.
He's, you know,
the crew that,
Martin Starr's good.
I like him a lot.
Yeah, they're all fine.
Great.
I like them.
And they mostly look
like actual kids again.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So probably John Francis,
John Francis Daly
wrote on Freaks and Geeks.
Which one's he?
He wrote on it, I think.
But who's he in this?
He wrote the screenplay for this movie.
Which is why Martin Starr is in it.
Oh, wait, he was...
Oh, you know, no, because he was Sam on Freaks and Geeks.
So hang on, that's Sam.
I can't see.
He was the other geek.
Oh, the geek.
He was the geek.
Okay, I like him.
Freaks and Geeks, man.
Good show.
Good show.
What about this, Mason?
This blew people's mind.
I liked it in a big way.
The Iron Spider.
Oh, at the end.
Sure, for sure.
Oh, right.
Eric Chen, who did our intro animations for YouTube and the Weekly Planet and that,
and he does a bunch of other cool stuff for us.
He wrote this in an email to me, something along along these lines that he liked the parallel to the stark reveal because peter parker
had the moment to be like you can come out and review yourself as an avenger everyone's gonna
love you and whatever this is your moment because this is what i did i told everybody right man i'm
the i'm the greatest man who's ever lived and he went yeah it's not not for me sure right no i
didn't even think of it like that but that's that's what it was that's what he'd set up for him yeah sure sure
which I thought was
really cool
some people were saying
that in that moment
that Tony Stark
was going to out
Peter Parker
as Spider-Man
but I don't think
what that was
I think it was like
get in the suit
yeah exactly
it was get him in the suit
because in the first
Civil War
the comic book
Civil War event
Peter Parker does
go on stage with with
yeah iron man and say it's me peter parker i'm spider-man but in you know he's 28 exactly exactly
right yeah that's it but no i i think there's a chance we might see that because you were talking
about a downgrade for the next movie uh-huh i think that might be the suit we get in infinity war
oh maybe like the iron spider because if you're going into space to fight a monster that's
true probably just don't go in a sleeveless t-shirt you'll break your wrist and your elbow
that's true yeah you gotta get some proper gear yeah i mean i i i probably at least for a time
yeah yeah fair enough yeah but i think because if you recall in at the start of the movie he gets
his first spider-man suit in that case and i you know, it's got all the holographic do hickeys and all that sort of stuff.
But in,
when at the end of the movie,
he gets his,
he gets a new version.
He gets the suit and it's just in a paper bag.
Right.
So I think that.
You don't think it's this.
I thought it was the original one.
No,
I'm saying it's,
it looks like the original,
but it doesn't have any tech in it.
That's why it's just in a bag.
Oh,
because you don't have to put it in the suit with the electronics and the whatever.
I just assume he just gave it back to him.
No, I don't think that's it.
Because he also didn't keep it in a case.
He just had it in his room.
That's true.
Yeah.
But I feel Stark would present it in another case.
Yeah, he would, wouldn't he?
Yeah.
Or maybe it's just like, who cares?
Yeah.
So I reckon the one he has at the end of the movie is a significant technology downgrade,
which again- Disagree! again works to the point of the movie
because he doesn't need the drone.
He doesn't need the artificial intelligence.
He doesn't need the million different versions of the webs.
I would absolutely take that though.
Oh yeah.
It's got a parachute in it.
Instant kill mode.
You can't fly.
And it's instant kill mode.
Yeah.
It's weird that you'd think that if you're falling from the sky
and the parachute fails, it would activate web wings.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, exactly.
There's a bunch of stuff that it should probably be able to do.
I like the interrogation mode.
People think it's, well, it probably is.
Yeah, that was a funny gag.
I like that a lot.
Like the Batman, it's the Batman voice or whatever.
And it's just a skinny kid with a little drone next to him.
It's not intimidating at all.
I like Donald Glover in this.
Speaking of, he's Aaron Davis, the prowler, uncle of Miles Morales.
That's right, because he says, I've got a nephew in this neighborhood
and I don't want to see him get, you know, any harm come to him.
So that's cool.
Which I thought, what I think is interesting about that as well is
we don't get an age on Miles Morales.
So they could do 10 years of Peter Parker.
Yeah, that's right.
And then that kid at the moment could be three or four.
That's true, yeah.
So I think depending on what Tom Holland does,
he's probably, because they got him young,
they probably signed him on for 50 years.
Yeah, that's true.
But they can, at any point from here on out,
I'd say they probably could do at least another two or three.
We're going to get a Miles Morales.
Yeah, yeah.
Which I think is a really cool way to introduce him. Real even say you can even put him in the next one yeah i mean i mean new york's pretty big
forget about it they could just thank you they could just put spider-man in queens yeah miles
morales in another borough yeah they could work you know they could work different sides of the
city sure but they're probably too similar in age though that's true because they're both supposed
to be i think miles morales is like 14 and peter's supposed to be 15
that's true i don't know i don't know i don't know mason yeah man i do not know what else what else
well i've got some a user of not users some listener reviews here i love that jesus christ
for those people who don't know, Mason's been sick for four years. It's the tram.
Yeah, it's definitely the tram.
People are passing.
Yeah.
What were you going to say?
I've got allergy.
It's the pollen.
I think, actually, I also love the scene where he has to escape
from the damage control facility.
Yeah.
That was fun.
That was fun.
Oh, voice of, what's her name?
The voice of the AI is Jennifer Connelly.
Oh, is it really?
Paul Betty's wife, Mason.
Okay.
Also played Betty Ross.
That's fun.
Isn't it?
That is fun.
That's a fun thing.
Do you think we'll get a...
I didn't recognize her at all.
No, neither did I.
I only saw that after.
All right, what have we got here?
This is from Kush says...
I should say a lot of people love this,
but there are some people who have emailed in
and tweeted in as well who are like,
I didn't love it.
That's fair.
I think it was great.
This from Kush says,
Spider-Man Homecoming was so refreshing.
It's like drinking a cool solo on a hot day.
Great twist too.
Zach says,
didn't think Spider-Man Homecoming was that great.
Why could he fight heroes in Civil War
but barely fight a thug in this?
I think that might come down to in Civil War they weren't trying to kill each other.
Oh, definitely.
Yeah.
I think that may be it.
Yeah.
We're going to talk about Spider-Sense as well in a minute.
Broderick says, just saw Spider-Man Homecoming.
I think it was a perfect blend of Peter Parker and Spider-Man.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
He's a good Peter Parker as well.
He's a great Peter Parker.
Yeah.
Jesse says, saw Homecoming. Was good. Could have been better. yeah oh yeah he's a good peter parker as well he's a great very good yeah uh jesse says saw
homecoming was good could have been better the the zendaya reveal reminded me of robin from the
dark knight rises what do you think of that mason no i mean jesse are on the same page
mason you're out jesse you're in i don't want to do this with somebody who disagrees with me
slightly on anything no that's that's fair. Damon says,
with Ego and now Vulture,
I believe Marvel is finally getting memorable,
dangerous villains.
Best movie ever.
Would you agree with that?
I would agree.
Pronounceable Name says,
I don't say Dark Knight good very often,
but Spider-Man Homecoming
might be the perfect superhero film.
There you go.
It is pretty good,
but at the same time,
as a standalone film
maybe
not
right okay
only in the sense
because you need to have
Iron Man in it
and you need
you know
I think if you've never
seen any of these
it would make sense
oh sure yeah
it would
yeah that's true
I mean as long as you're aware
as long as you're aware
there are other superheroes
out there
yes
and Iron Man's a
you know a big name
a big gun
yeah I guess that works and that's fairly evident but that first four minutes must
be super weird though like yeah right because it's the recap of civil war from his perspective
that's true yeah uh what do we got here this is from sup says saw spider-man liked tom holland
no origin story bullshit disliked planeliked. Plane sequence. Vulture motivations. Hmm.
Oh, interesting.
Charlie says, what is wrong with Tony?
Why would he give Spider-Man an instant kill mode on his suit?
Good question, Charlie.
Because that's why I said that earlier, because I took it from Charlie.
Yeah.
Thanks, Charlie.
Why wouldn't he?
He's a man that doesn't care whether he kills somebody or not.
Yes.
He doesn't even think about it. He assumes people kill other people in their daily lives just as a matter of course, because
he's a rich guy and he can get away with anything.
Absolutely, he can and does.
He's killed so many people and nobody's ever pulled him up on it.
Countless, yeah.
But he pulls up other people on it, doesn't he?
Just he goes into foreign nations and he kills people.
Yes.
That's a declaration of war, if anything.
Yes, it is.
Anyway.
But he's doing the Lord's work.
That's true.
So what were we going to say?
When you mentioned before that I'm sick all the time. Yes. That's true. And also were we going to say? When you mentioned before that I'm sick all the time.
Yes.
That's true.
And also I apologize that you've had to cut out all the coughs that I've been doing.
You've done a lot of coughs this episode.
So many.
You put it in my head.
I may have coughed out.
Coughed out.
I may have cut out a lot though.
Yeah, that's true.
Depending on how much pausing we left.
Yeah.
What do we got here?
So, yeah.
What was I going to say?
There's a thing we're going to talk about specifically, Mason.
Did you write it down?
Remind me.
I said, hey, this thing.
And you went, a spider sense.
Yeah, okay, sure.
So the director, John Watts, said, I didn't really kind of do it in this film because
you've seen a lot of it in previous films and they kind of leaned on it.
Okay.
And then Kevin Feige was like, yeah, he's got it.
But no, we didn't kind of highlight it.
I felt like that he didn't get hit a lot so that he probably yeah his head
didn't flash and it did like a zoom shot around him yeah right right duck to punch yeah i think
it was just well he's fast isn't he like he's he's fast but he also he's he's fast and he can
see things coming but also just because you can see it doesn't mean you can move doesn't mean you
can move necessarily like sometimes that there just isn't room to dodge a punch. So you're going to cop it kind of thing.
And again, he was in situations that would have killed other people immediately.
So pretty good.
Pretty good.
Yeah.
And I also think, you know, the segments where he sort of leaps through the ship as it's falling to pieces and he webs all the things.
Fun.
I think that is a combination of him being a science nerd
who knows these angles.
Well, he also saw the ship through his vision.
It was like, web here, web here.
Oh, right, right.
Okay, never mind then.
But even making those maneuvers is...
You need a sense to do that.
That's true, yeah.
You couldn't just see them and go,
oh, that's what I have to do.
You'd have to then be able to do it.
Yeah, right.
Anyway, it's good.
I like it.
Go and see it if you haven't seen it. Yeah, see it yeah right anyway it's good i like it go and see if
you haven't seen it yeah see it or don't because live your life you can live your life as you
please or as you don't please but if you don't watch it we can't be friends man yeah i've seen
it already if listeners out there if you haven't seen it me and james can't be friends so boy oh
no wow we can still do the podcast, can't we?
Not all podcasters have to be friends.
I wonder if there are podcasters out there who are bitter enemies,
but they have a good dynamic on podcasting.
Wasn't the Maddox podcast that?
I never listened to it.
I never listened to it either.
Yeah, me neither.
Yeah, anyway, I don't know.
The guy's still doing stuff, isn't he?
I think so.
Good on him.
Great.
Yeah, great.
Is that it?
Also, I think this is good for kids
yep take care of this i wouldn't take a kid to guardians 2 yep probably civil war is probably
a bit much uh i think there's too much espionage but i think this is no i think a kid love this
yeah and it's not also going back to the original spider-man there's some scares in that like this
like there's jump scares there's horror moments right so yeah, there's some scares in that. Such as? Like there's jump scares. There's horror moments.
Right.
Sure, sure, sure.
So, yeah.
Like there's a bit where he goes to save that old woman in the building and it turns around
and it's the Green Goblin and he's just like, ah!
Yeah, okay.
Sure, sure.
Yeah.
James has purchased a fidget spinner.
I didn't purchase this.
It was a gift.
Huh.
Who dislikes you that much?
My wife.
Nice.
Makes sense.
Anything else?
Let me say...
Come on, Mason.
We haven't got all day.
Hang on, hang on.
People have work to do.
No, I'm just thinking about things.
Someone's driving to work going,
come on, fellas.
I'm nearly at the office.
I like the bit in the...
when the two villain...
a couple of the villains, the henchmen come to the school.
Yep.
And they're looking around for,
to try and track down the alien little energy source.
Yep.
And Ned leads us hiding around the corner.
And he runs into the two kids in the classroom.
And they're like, you guys, you guys, you guys doing all right?
You having a good day?
And then one of them's just like, yes.
That is pretty good.
It was a real kid.
Yeah.
Oh, the bit where he escapes in the rubble.
That was a very Spider-Man moment.
That is a very iconically Spider-Man moment
where he's like
I'm trapped, I can't
dude, why don't I just give up?
I'm just a hard luck hero
living my life.
There was a sense of claustrophobia
where he's like
oh shit, he's really pissed.
And again, he reacts like a normal person would in that situation by just screaming
and being like, help.
I'm dying.
But then he does the absolute classic Spider-Man moment where he's like, all right, got to
gather my stuff.
I got to think about MJ and I got to think about Aunt May and I got to think about the
girls I got to crushes on and've got to do the right thing.
And then he throws all the stuff off.
And he's free.
He's free to catch a bird, man.
All right, you know what it's time for?
What are we reading?
What are we going to read?
Ah, very good.
I'm doing the thing.
What are we reading today?
What do you read?
You know what I saw today?
I saw The Beguiled.
What's that?
Which is the new
Sofia Coppola movie.
Is it good?
It's good, yeah.
Is she a hit and miss?
I don't know if I've ever
seen any of her movies.
Sorry?
Is she a hit and miss?
Did you say he?
She.
I know she is.
You know what?
Honestly, I don't really know.
Okay.
This one was weirdly tense.
It was sort of a horror movie
but not.
Who's in it?
Nicole Kidman
and Colin Farrell.
I know. And Kirsten Dunst from Spider-Man. Which one? Which Spider-Man? It was sort of a horror movie, but not. Who's in it? Nicole Kidman and Colin Farrell.
I know.
And Kirsten Dunst from Spider-Man.
Which one?
Which Spider-Man?
First Spider-Man.
Spider-Man 1 through 3.
Okay.
Yes.
All right.
And it's set a few years into the American Civil War.
Oh, it's in the past.
Yeah, it's in the past.
And there are these women at a... A meet and greet?
No, not a meet and greet.
Like a school of deportment.
There's only a few of them there.
A lot of them have left.
But a few of them there because they have nowhere to go.
And Colin Farrell is this wounded...
It is in the south.
And Colin Farrell is a wounded soldier from the north.
And he's like, help me out.
And then they bring him into the house and weird stuff happens.
Is it sexy?
I wouldn't say it's sexy. How sexy is it Is it sexy? I wouldn't say it's sexy.
How sexy is it though?
I said, I wouldn't say it's sexy.
It's weird.
On what scale?
Of weirdness.
Sexy to weird.
It's probably right in the middle of sexy and weird.
Yeah.
Okay.
And by that, I mean, it's real creepy.
I've actually, I've seen a trailer for that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Doesn't he?
It's doesn't he?
Cause he's a bit, he's a bit of a deviant, a miscreant.
Or is it them that are the deviant and miscreants?
I'm not going to spoil it.
Where did you see it?
I saw it at the Lido.
You saw three movies this week.
I did.
Oh, that's too many.
All right.
I watched all of The Handmaid's Tale.
I was going to say also.
No, wait.
Never mind.
I was going to say I didn't hate Tony Stark in this movie.
No, me neither.
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
He's a prick.
Yeah, he's a prick.
The Handmaid's Tale.
It's a mixture of 1984, V for Vendetta, and Pride and Prejudice.
Do you know what it's about?
No.
It's the very near future.
Things have got bad.
Yes.
And the world has returned, or the US in particular, has returned to this Victorian era.
Oh, and everything's quite prudish and conservative.
Yes. who turned to this Victorian era. Oh, and everything's quite prudish and conservative. Yes, but it's also,
so there's a bit of kind of, you know,
technology has reverted,
but also the elite kind of still got their computers and cars
and whatnot.
And it's also children of men
in the sense that there have been no more children
or very few children being born.
Because women's reproductive rights
are being kind of crushed down?
Well, they think it's a plague.
And so basically because of the reproduction has kind of slowed,
then it's kind of given rise to this new breed of like conservatism,
which has kind of taken over the government
and then taken away women's rights and all sorts of other stuff.
It's big and intense and weird and horrible.
Not sexy at all.
Yeah, right.
It's good.
It's great.
It's 10 episodes.
It's on SBS On Demand.
Oh, yeah.
In Australia.
But I think if you haven't seen it, Mason,
then definitely worth checking out.
Scott, what's her name from Mad Men?
Elizabeth Moss.
Yes.
Kate Moss.
I also have been watching Castlevania on Netflix.
Oh, yeah.
It's good.
Written by Warren Ellis.
Yeah.
Of many, many comic books that I love fame.
It feels like, because I'm nearly at the end of the third episode and there's only four,
I'm like, oh, they're not going to wrap this up.
It's weird that it's a season of four 25-minute episodes, isn't it?
Well, as I said to you before the show, I think it's the same thing with Voltron where
they probably did 10 or 8, but they're splitting them up.
Because Voltron feels the same way.
Yeah, right.
I think this is quite canny in the sense that there's a lot of movies on Netflix.
Like stuff that I haven't seen or even Netflix originals
that I always click add to my list.
But I'm never going to get to it probably because it's two hours long.
But if you break it up into four 25-minute chunks...
Then you will get to it.
Then I can just watch 25 minutes as a tester.
You know what I mean?
You gonna check it out?
Yeah.
Yeah, I think it's interesting, yeah.
I feel like I'm gonna get to the end and be like,
oh, man.
Is there a character called Simon Belmont with a whip?
Does he have a whip?
Yes.
Great.
I don't remember much of...
They've covered all the bases of the game. I don't remember much of they've covered all the bases
of the game
I don't know much of the lore
so I'm like
I'm interested to be like
oh this is this universe
how's the Dracula in it
he's a good looking Dracula
is there an Alu card
I don't know
I think he's just Dracula
maybe
maybe not yet
alright nice
but it's four episodes
so I feel like
I don't think
we'd get anywhere near that
at this point
but yeah
yeah if you've got Netflix the first one's like 22 minutes so do what you want does he throw some sort of episodes so i feel like i don't think we'd get anywhere near that at this point but yeah yeah
if you've got netflix the first one's like 22 minutes okay does he throw some sort of molotov
cocktail device dracula no some belmont not not as of yet how many belmonts are there just him
uh that's all i've seen okay let's say there's not more okay yeah belmont belmont belmont belmont
back when i was a kid you could get because you Because, you know, when you're a kid,
there was like a book club at school.
You could send away for books.
Scholastic book club.
Yeah, Scholastic.
You could buy books.
They used to do...
There used to be a series of books based on video games.
Oh, yeah.
It was a Castlevania novel.
Was it good?
No.
Why not?
Was it Choose Your Own Adventure?
No, you know what?
Because there were...
It's like you open a trap door.
Oh, there's a vampire
you're dead
you had no way of knowing that
and you're dead
that's what choose your own adventures
they're all like that
it was all
yeah it was
every time it was
hey you had no way of knowing that
yeah
anyway there was a
yeah there was a series of
there was a series of
books based on video games
there was
but some of them were set
in that universe
and some were
kids who got sucked into the universe and castlevania was you were a kid that well the
main character was a kid who got sucked into the castlevania universe but there's also there was
also like a metal gear one there was a kid get sucked into a metal gear no metal gear he you
were the the main character was the guy from metal gear the gear there was a bionic commando one i
remember that game yeah and. And book series.
You know it.
Very famous.
Yeah.
Okay.
I guess that whatever gets kids reading.
That's true, yeah.
Even if it's total garbage.
Well, that's the thing.
When I was teaching, Mason, because I was that.
Yeah, we get it.
There was concern with parents were like,
I don't really want my kid just reading only
Die of a Wimpy Kid books or whatever.
And I'd always say, as long as they're reading.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Because that is the gateway to other things, you know?
It's a gateway drug.
That's why I give all the students in my class copies of Fifty Shades of Grey.
That's right.
And there's like obviously stuff that you give them to read that they have to read.
But if a kid's reading it's...
Fifty Shades of Grey, I just said it.
That's right, yeah.
Then it's not a bad thing, you know, if they're reading stuff that they love.
All right, Mason, letters.
Catch the reading bug, guys.
Get it up your butt.
Jeez.
The classic one was letters, oh letters.
We love you, some letters.
They're only a day away.
I know they're here right now.
We're going to do letters.
Do you want to do your letter first?
I'll do a letter.
Do you want me to do my tweet first?
No, do a tweet.
Okay, so if you want to reach the show,
Mason's all over the Gmail,
weeklyplanetpot at gmail.com.
Would you say keep them brief
or keep them long?
If they're long paragraphs,
use some paragraphs.
Yeah, please use some paragraphs.
Everybody's good about using paragraphs.
I really appreciate it.
Excellent, excellent.
Yeah.
Or you can hashtag
weeklyplanetpot on Twitter and we'll read out some... Yeah, we will. Something there. Go for it. Or am I going appreciate it. Excellent. Excellent. Yeah. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Or you can hashtag Weekly Planet Pod on Twitter
and we'll read out some.
Yeah, we will.
Some from there.
Go for it.
Yeah.
Or am I going for it?
You go for it.
This is from Anthony Norris.
They're making a sequel
to World War Z.
Why not make a Netflix series?
He seems very out of breath,
that guy.
Why not make a Netflix series
based on the actual book?
It's not a bad idea.
That's true.
Have you ever read it?
No.
It's more of a guidebook, isn't it? Yeah, it's kind of, or it's like a book it's not a bad idea that's true have you ever read it no i think it's more of a guidebook isn't it yeah it's kind of oh it's like a it's like a uh historical kind of document account of what happened so it's like in this area of china there was this outbreak and
this thing what weird thing washed up on shore in this country this person turned up and they did
this or whatever and we had to and we knocked all the teeth out of the zombies because then they couldn't bite you.
Like stuff like that.
And the movie kind of mushed a whole lot of that stuff together.
Okay, sure, sure.
So you could kind of do it like the start of District 9.
So you could probably do it like in that style.
We're kind of like, I remember the zombie apocalypse.
It was bullshit.
Yeah, sure.
Yeah, exactly.
Okay.
Yeah, I think so.
It's good.
Maybe. Are you sick of zombies just generally? I think if you can do it fresh yeah okay sure that's fine what about you know
what zombies aren't known for being fresh honestly very good they're really but i but i say that also
in the terms of genre they're really they're really a bit over i didn't realize you were
also talking about genre i don't. I'm just tired of zombies
I guess, I think. Yeah, fair enough. But I think
we haven't really seen... And by zombies, I mean people are always
looking at their phones.
Nobody talks to each other. Nobody talks to
train anymore.
It's more like anti-social
media, isn't it? Didn't the milkman used
to come to your house and have sex with your mum?
That's right. Why doesn't that happen anymore?
Come on. Come on.
Come on.
Yeah.
Yeah, great stuff.
Yeah.
Look, yeah.
No, yes, yes.
Pretty cool.
I don't think we've seen that.
That's what I'm saying.
Yeah.
Good work, Anthony Norris.
What's your letter? Oh, this is a letter
from Jonathan Harley
on the Gmail.
Okay.
He listened to our episode
last week on the Cornetto Trilogy.
Edgar Wright's Cornetto Trilogy.
Yeah, I remember.
And in his life, he worked in Summerfields,
which is the supermarket in the movie.
Ah.
Like that chain.
Real supermarket.
Sorry?
Real supermarket.
Apparently, yeah.
And also, he's a police officer.
Ah.
So he did both of those things.
So he's uniquely qualified.
Absolutely.
So in the film,
he's got a couple of facts about supermarkets and the police.
I'm ready.
So late in the film,
a Summersfield employee runs at the heroes brandishing a yellow knife.
Those are what every Summersfield employee is issued with
while they work there.
So that's an attention to detail.
Okay, two, Sandford.
That's a joke just for people who work in those supermarkets.
Unless you've been assaulted by a knife-wielding Summerfields employee.
It's very possible.
Okay, point two, Sandford, which is the town in the film,
is a fictional town that the police set all their scenarios in
for assessing new recruits.
Ah.
Right?
So there you go.
So that town is not a real town. It's a fictional town. No, fictional town, but the police use it. scenarios in for assessing new recruits. Ah. Right? So there you go.
So that town is not a real town.
No.
It's a fictional town. Fictional town, but the police use it.
They're like, okay, there's a hostage situation.
It's in Sanford.
So there you go.
Great.
Three, in the movie, Nick Frost's character is caught drink driving by Simon Pegg's character.
And after that, the team was all eating cakes.
Yes.
Cake finds are a real thing in the British police force.
So if you do something stupid like crash a patrol vehicle,
get your phonetic alphabet wrong on the radio
or call the inspector, mate,
you have to buy the entire station cakes.
There you go.
There must be good cakes or you'd be further ridiculed.
More like the wide, thin line.
Yeah, yeah.
No.
Number four, you're told in training the pocket
notebook is the most important piece of kit you're issued like which is well like in the movie
exactly so there you go these make hot fuzz a very special film for him so because it's very accurate
yeah oh that's really cool isn't that fun yeah there you go love it so it's it's subverting the
genre it is but also adhering to the real world yeah yeah great who's that from that was
from jonathan harley thank you jonathan yep you're my hero you're not mine okay it's from reg williams
whatever too i bet i guess that's 50 that's a pass that's pretty good uh this is from reg williams
hashtag weekly planet pod red sun movie might be coming along very heated debate as to whether
people want that people like do a real superman movie before you do it uh what other elseward stories
would you like to see in film form not animated mason we're talking live action we're talking
get a person on set put them in a dumb costume for 12 hours of the day yep so they sweat everything
out of their body yep and they have to go home and the suit's
all damp the next morning when they put it back on so this is a very this is some sort of low
budget production correct to just get one suit get the feel of soviet russia just uh just they
have to put on a weird damp cold suit every morning and oh all right so which ones do you
want to see i've got a list here of potential ones. I can go through those if you want. Please, if you could.
Gotham by Gaslight, we talked about last week.
Yep.
Batman in the 1800s or whatever that was, 1900s?
Yep, I would like to see that.
In the past.
Yeah, sure.
Steampunk Batman.
Okay, cool.
Have there been some proper steampunk movies yet?
Not really.
Kind of Hellboy sort of, but it's also modern day.
Yeah, no, not at all really.
Injustice we talked about last week.
Yeah, that'd be good.
Batman and Dracula Red Rain, I quite like.
I'm not on board with that.
You don't like Batman fighting a Dracula?
Those were all so dumb.
Red Rain's good.
There's been any number of Batman versus Dracula cross.
I think they're all dumb.
This one's good.
All right, fine.
Batman Predator.
I kind of would like to see that live.
Yeah, that'd be good.
What about Kingdom Come?
yeah
Jump into the Future
that would be good
I agree
I haven't read this one
but Mike Mignola did
a Lovecraft style comic called
The Doom That Came to Gotham
which is kind of like a Cthulhu
yeah right right right
weird monster universe
combining with Gotham
yeah I would like to say that and i
think one of the things that we haven't seen in a batman movie is batman fighting the actual
supernatural right that's true actually yeah it's always just science gone wrong science gone mad
a deformed man that he beats to death or throws off a roof or whatever yeah you're right so actual
magic because he also often he's he's ready roof or whatever yeah you're right so actual magic
because he also often he's he's ready for that like yeah that's true stuff that yeah and i would
appreciate i would like that as well yeah it's i mean it's a tough balance i guess because you want
especially as batman exists in the wider dc universe yeah that is that there's constantly
supernatural stuff happening in aliens and super high technology or whatever but batman also has
to exist in the world where he's a detective and he fights bank robbers as well but he also has to
be ready to fight a god at a moment's notice so it's kind of it's kind of a tough balance drop
everything where it's like why don't you use you've got you know you've got a boom tube teleport
generator in your in your bat cave why don't you use that all the time yeah but he only ever employs
it when he's has to go to
you know
he
yeah he adjusts his levels
as to what he's fighting
but it's always weird
why he wouldn't use
the super high technology
when he's fighting
he could really clean up
a lot of crime in Gotham
oh so many
I guess the boom tube
takes a lot of power
maybe that's the reason
yeah
also it's probably
like
one in a hundred times
you step through it
like blends you with
a cicada or something that's probably like one in a hundred times you step through it blends you with a cicada or something.
That's probably true, yeah.
Well, speaking of...
Wait, where were we going with that?
Where were you going with that?
I honestly don't know.
I have nothing to say.
Oh, because we're talking about zombies, World War Z.
I was going to say there's a Batman comic from many years ago
called Dark Knight, Dark City,
where the Riddler raises the dead in
gotham city and he has to fight a whole bunch of zombies cool i would like to see that all right
then just just give me something give me give me a give me maybe a b-list villain who gets in way
over his head and he summons some sort of yeah some sort of cthulhu is that what happens in that
like the riddler's like i did not intend for this exactly yeah interesting. All right, yeah, I think they should delve in elsewhere.
We talked about this last week.
Yeah.
That's this week's episode of the podcast.
That is, we've spoken.
We said we're going to talk about Baby Driver,
but I told Mason I was tired and I didn't want to do it.
You sure did.
But rest assured, we both saw it.
Yes, we did.
We might do a little bit of it next week,
but that being said, next week is also Star Wars Celebration
and we might be having an interview.
We should just tell people, yeah? Sure, right we might people already know they do yeah we are we're gonna be able hope we're gonna speak to edgar
right this week about baby driver yeah um on thursday that being said that could change at
a moment's notice they could cancel it on us because we had 20 minutes right and then they
emailed you and said now you got 15 Yeah, and it was initially like,
we're going to film it
and now they're like, bring your own stuff.
Yeah, sure, right.
So I'll just bring some mics or whatever.
So yeah, I mean, there's...
Next it'll be, okay, Edgar Wright's going to have
a big black screen in front of him
and you won't be able to see his face.
Yeah, that's it.
I said, they said, do you want to bring,
because we've got to clear photos,
do you want to do any photos?
And I said, we'll probably just get a selfie or something.
Yeah, sure, sure.
And they're like, okay, we'll have to clear it with,
I'm like, I'm sure if I just ask him when I'm there.
Yeah, right.
I'm not really a selfie guy, so I don't even,
I don't know how to do them properly.
I'm not good at them, I don't do them enough.
Yeah.
We're not really interview guys either, so we'll probably.
Oh, no, we're definitely going to fuck this up.
Look, and also I think it's also entirely possible we'll say something that we're not, like we up look and also i i think it's it's also
entirely possible we'll say something that we're not like we'll ask him a question we're not allowed
to ask and well often the problem is in a lot of cases with interviewing apparently with interviewing
you know big stars or directors or something like that is they're very you know they're very nice
and genial and they would answer any questions you like but the people that their handlers are like don't say this don't ask him this never say this kind of thing stay on
topic or whatever and so i think you know we we might we might get into a topic that he would
happily talk about but we've been told not to and then they'll be like all right interview over get
out well the direction i got was like i was like was there anything we can't ask yeah not that we're
gonna not that we're gonna grill him about his personal life all right where do you live all right but i just didn't want
to step on anything and they basically just said just talk about baby driver so we probably would
try and deviate that from a little bit but they're right there's a lot of stuff i do want to know
about that film anyway yeah totally anyway we'll give that a crack anyway it might not happen so
yeah who knows yeah let's talk it up though yeah definitely 100% in
but no I'm looking forward to meeting him
it's kind of weird because
normally I'd be like I don't want to do this
but this I'm like oh no I'd love to talk to Edgar
that's really cool
and I'm sure he wants to talk to us
I'm sure on day
300 of his press junk
and he's going to want to talk to two idiots.
Oh, the poor guy.
Yeah.
I'd love to just ask him about that.
Just be like, what is it like to sit in a blank room for a month
and just say, how did you film the driving sequences?
Yeah, I'm going to ask.
That's my first question.
Yeah.
Good.
