Welcome back everybody to another episode. The Weekly Planet. The Weekly Planet.
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, my co-host, Nick Mason.
I just climbed a thousand steps.
My legs are bloody knackered.
Get over it.
No, no, it's in continuity now.
That wasn't some sort of weird old continuity in the ad.
It's a real continuity.
I don't think it's a continuity now. That wasn't some sort of weird old continuity in the ad. It's a real continuity. I don't think it's a thousand steps.
I'm just trying to find the actual number.
The Wikipedia page for the 1,000 steps.
God, I can't.
I'll find it later.
I don't have time.
I've got to do a show, mate.
And also, it depends on how wide your gate is.
But it's literal steps also.
Yes.
So I figured that's why it's called a thousand steps,
because there's actual steps. I mean, mean otherwise any walking track could be called the
thousand steps or the two thousand steps makes no sense right yeah also they're
out that's not stairs they're outdoors which means there's steps right stairs
are indoors also before you get there there's like a like a landing and
there's five steps to get up to it so technically I could have just done those
200 times oh in other news in other real life news okay i mentioned this on twitter earlier in the week
i was at work and i was stopped at a set of lights and somebody walked past and went hey
mr sunday movies and i grinned and i gave him the finger guns but i was very hurt inside
yeah so are we is it confused i i think so yeah i guess it's confusing yeah yeah because we sound
similarish and and there's a there's an ongoing rumor that there's only one of us that's right
who puts on a voice well puts on two voices yeah and so they've got a third voice a regular voice
potentially sure because they want to keep their anonymity and then engages in weird banter with
themselves yeah and sometimes talks over the other one yeah how do they do that clever editing regular voice this person. Potentially, sure, because they want to keep their anonymity. Makes sense. And then engages in weird banter with themselves.
Yeah.
And sometimes talks over the other one.
Yeah.
How do they do that?
Clever editing.
Clever editing.
So we did it then.
I mean, he did it then, or she.
Three voices.
It's 2017.
There could be a podcast with a lady who does two fake male voices.
Correct.
I just want to quickly thank everybody as well.
I got hundreds of very kind messages.
Claire mentioned it in her podcast my wife i just make the thing that uh we were having uh a kid what
we thought was one kid turned out to be three kids which we found out after she miscarried and then
she was hospitalized it was it was a whole thing um i wasn't going to say anything because
i don't like telling anybody anything, quite frankly. Your personal life, absolutely not.
Well, I just don't like giving people ammunition to attack me, potentially.
And that obviously didn't happen.
But it was one of those things where we talked about it and miscarriages are things that happen.
It's like one in four.
It's incredibly common.
People don't really talk about it.
So it was kind of one of those things where, yeah, we kind of wanted to put it out there for that reason.
I just wanted to say, yeah, thanks to everybody.
It's just really super supportive, really compassionate, and people sharing their own personal stories.
Too many to respond to, but I just wanted to thank everybody for that.
And we're doing pretty well, all things considered.
I'm glad you're doing all right.
Thanks, Mason.
I don't believe you.
He was giving me the thumbs down.
Well, I mean, look, it's blown my guy pointing at me and going,
hey, Mr. Sunday Movie, story out of the water a little bit.
Sure.
I should have gone first.
Then I could have really ramped up.
I'd have been like, here we go.
It was a brisk day in the city.
But, yeah, I just wanted to thank everybody for that.
Yeah.
And all the best to you, Mason.
Thank you.
Yeah.
What do we got here?
Bad Boys 3, the release date has been moved off the release schedule, which I guess means
it's not happening anytime soon.
Do you care about that?
Yeah, kind of.
I mean, it wouldn't be good.
No.
But I would...
It's not Michael Bay, though. it's not like it's not michael
bay though he's not doing it apparently it might be better yeah because it's not having it all
michael bay's time is done if it ever was sure like oh the rock's all right everyone always
says that yeah the rock's pretty good isn't it yeah that war movie he did in between transformers
movies was apparently all right wasn't it i didn't say it no one did yeah I mean it's not like
it's
I'll start again
go on
it's not like
it's Expendables 4
I'll do a clean edit
oh fantastic
thank you
it's not like
it's Expendables 4
where I'm like
why would
who cares
it's a property
that I
now that I say it
I didn't like them
I liked the first one
I love how you came around
you came around you gotta talk yourself out of it I gotta talk myself out of it. I liked the first one. I love how you came around to it.
I came around.
I got to talk myself out of it.
But I mean, the first one was pretty good, right?
I haven't seen it.
But I think maybe if they get somebody who isn't invested in the originals, who's like a new director, who maybe was a fan back in the day,
they could give us a version that doesn't feel like a really dated 90s action film.
Yeah, right.
Well, it was Joe Carnahan originally, but he left.
Right, okay.
And he did Wolf Fight.
Yeah, Liam Neeson's Wolf Fight.
Liam Neeson's Wolf Fight, which is a favourite of ours.
But no, the reason I bring that up, though,
because that was a Sony film,
and they also have a release date for the Black Cat Silver Sable film.
Fantastic.
Which is someone referred to as being,
because apparently there's a comic called Silver and Black.
Okay.
Which I don't think they'd call it that because you think that's
too confusing because you don't know what the like yeah and it also might confuse you you might
confuse it with black and gold the discount supermarket chain of course are they still
around yeah i think so interesting i've never been in one of it you've never been in one i think so
we did a lot of black and gold and franklin shopping as a kid yeah we were franklin's kids
yeah you better believe it you know the blandest bread you've ever had in your life.
You know it.
Tomato sauce, it has no flavour.
It's just red.
It's just red ketchup.
I suspect it's baked.
It's just red paste.
It's like glue.
But that release date is November 2018.
So that's only, yeah, a year and a bit.
So get on it, Sony.
Get your Ven venom movie happening
which we should speak about because apparently riz ahmed is going to be joining the cast oh
and who's that again uh he's in rogue one he's the pilot oh sure he's in the night of which is
fantastic okay he's good in everything but uh and people are saying he's carnage but apparently
well the rumor is that he's not carnage, that he's another popular character in the Venom universe.
Oh.
So.
Venom's wife.
Yes.
Great.
What does he have a wife?
He has a wife.
What's his wife's name?
I can't remember.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Good.
Good.
Good one.
Well, an ex-wife, I think.
Okay, good.
He would, because he's jaded.
He's probably got a kid and he's like, I'm doing this for the right reason.
And he's a mass murderer.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. and he's like, I'm doing this for the right reason. And he's a mass murderer. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
I still...
What version are they doing again?
We've talked about this.
I can't remember.
Well, it can't be Agent Venom
because there can't be...
It can't be Flash Thompson now
because Flash Thompson is now
like a cyber bully
in Spider-Man Homecoming.
So it has to be a version of Eddie Brock.
Yeah, gotcha.
Somebody sent us an email,
wicklyplanetpot.gmail.com who confirmed that Tom Hardy was going to be a version of Eddie Brock. Yeah, gotcha. Somebody sent us an email, wickluplanetpod.gmail.com,
who confirmed that Tom Hardy was going to be in it.
But I mean, who's this guy emailing us?
Wait, in Venom?
Yes.
It's been cast.
It's official.
Oh, is it Tom Hardy?
Yeah.
Carry on then.
Isn't it official?
I don't know.
I'm fairly certain it is.
Yeah, he posted it on Twitter and everything.
Oh, did he?
Okay, right.
Thanks to that person who sent the email though.
Yeah, thanks pal, this week. We. Oh, did he? Okay, right. Thanks to that person who sent me a photo. Yeah, thanks, pal, this week.
We love everybody who reaches out.
Mm-hmm.
You saw the images.
If you've got any news about bloody Toby McQuire's Spider-Man, let us know.
Have you saw the pictures of Domino and Cable?
They say Iron Man 2008's going to be pretty special.
Is that so?
Who are they going to cast?
Robert Downey Jr.
He's washed up, mate.
Isn't he?
Don't bother.
Yeah, exactly right.
Yeah.
He's got drug problems.
First look at Domino and Cable from the Deadpool movie.
Yeah, they look pretty good.
I like it.
Cable is not as broad as I expected him to be.
Well, he's real-life man Josh Brolin.
That's true, yeah.
But he's ripped enough, isn't he?
Yeah.
And I guess if you made him insanely huge,
he'd just look like Colossus from the first one.
Right, yeah.
In which case.
It looks more mechanical.
As opposed to biomechanical.
Yeah, the arm there.
Don't you feel?
Yes.
Because I guess it would just be the Colossus arm.
Again, it'd be the Colossus arm, right?
Yeah.
I think Rob Liefeld mentioned how he went to see Winter Soldier
with his kid and his kid asked him if he stole Cable's metal arm from Winter Soldier,
and he was like, I invented that.
He said something like, you know, he's, how dare you, my son?
Cable's metal arm is the one thing I genuinely invented.
Sure, Deadpool was just a ripoff of Deathstroke.
Sure, I can't draw feet.
But he did that thing where he's like,
I was the popular basketballer of whatever the time.
You know, he's called himself like the Michael Jordan of...
He was the Larry Bird.
Bad back?
Yeah.
Okay, gotcha.
But no, it looks good.
I've been saying Rob Liefeld for like 20 years.
What did I say?
No, it's Liefeld.
It is Liefeld, yeah.
I thought it was Liefeld.
Okay.
Just a fun little...
Is it F-E-L-D?
It's F-E-L-D.
Okay, fair enough.
Why would I ever think it?
How could you forget the Michael Jordan or Larry Bird of feet?
Yeah.
Yeah.
But no,
look,
cause I think they do,
they release this stuff because before they film stuff.
Yeah.
Outside.
Yeah.
They're like,
well,
we'll get,
we'll get a good photo out of it before someone takes a shit photo on a
cell phone.
Oh,
absolutely.
And this is the first look at it.
And it's like,
no good. And it'd be some sort shit photo on a cell phone. Oh, absolutely, yeah. And this is the first look at it and it's like, ugh, no good.
Exactly, and it would be some sort of weird plasticky prosthesis arm
and you'd be like, they'd be like, it looks better, I swear.
And you don't believe them.
And we never come around.
I guess because they could have done biomechanical
because in days of future past we had the Sentinels
who had kind of the biomechanical effect.
But is this connected to any or none of that?
Who knows?
We don't know.
Yeah.
No, I like it.
Well, it's a biomechanical...
It'll certainly be referenced.
Yes, it will.
Deadpool loves to reference things.
It's a virus, isn't it?
Yeah, it's a techno-organic virus that his psychic powers keep at bay.
Right, gotcha.
So otherwise it would consume him completely and turn him into a sweet robot.
That sounds great. It does sound great, doesn't't it so he's from the future correct do you reckon they're going to reference that he is the son of gene gray and scott summers so they're
going to do all of that or do you reckon they'll just brush over it ah see i think they could go
i think either way could work right i think they could do a really i would enjoy seeing a really
really rushed origin story.
Yeah.
Like where he, where he has to, he appears in a, like a time portal and he has to explain to Deadpool his origin in like two minutes.
I think that would be very fun.
Like Kyle Reese coming out of the Terminator.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
And he's just like, all right, listen, you know, Cyclops and Jane Grey, well, I'm the
kid in the future and blah, blah, blah.
And they were, look, it doesn't matter.
I think that would be funny.
Yeah.
I would be, I think it'd be also cool deadpool didn't see him come out of the time
portal uh-huh so he it's like or we don't even so we don't even know if it's true oh he might
just be an insane guy with an alarm yeah that would be good and then it's kind of revealed at
the end or it isn't yeah okay yeah maybe he's just a crazy guy absolutely definitely work i wonder
how many powers he's gonna have in this what are What are his powers? Guns, big VCR.
Guns, yeah.
Shaped guns.
So, I mean, the idea behind Cable is that he is,
he would be one of the most powerful sort of telepaths,
telekinetics in the world.
Yeah.
Or the universe, but the techno-organic,
like it takes all his powers subconsciously to keep the virus at bay.
Right, yeah.
So he just has sort of, like he can, he has a little bit of telekinesis and a little like
whatever he, whatever he needs to sort of eke out for the story to like save the day
in the end kind of thing.
Like he can do that, do that a little bit, but.
His real name's Nate.
Is that right?
Yeah.
It's Nathan.
It's Nathan Dayspring.
Nathan Dayspring.
Or Nathan Summers.
Yeah.
Right.
Does he, cause he doesn't know that he's their kid.
Maybe initially.
Yeah, there's like a...
He knows now.
Yeah, well, sure, yeah.
It's a similar thing to...
So he's got like Franklin Richard-style insane powers.
Oh, not that level.
Right.
Well, there's another character in the Marvel Universe called X-Man.
Yeah.
Who is the version of him from the Age of Apocalypse parallel dimension.
I thought you were going to say the Asian universe.
Yeah, from the Asian Marvel Universe.
Gotcha, yep.
And so he is Cable without the limitations.
Right, okay.
So at one point he sort of became a kind of a messiah figure
because he was that powerful.
But Franklin Richards can alter reality,
whereas X-Man can just sort of do, like, he can lift heavy stuff.
That's pretty good.
But with his mind, though.
Oh, with his mind, though.
That's very interesting.
Well, that sounds like they all do all or some or none of that.
But also, there is another story.
Because there was a Cable in Deadpool series.
I don't know if it's still going.
It's probably not or there's a thousand issues at this point.
Right.
But there was a version where Cable got his full set of powers.
Right.
And he decided that he was going to kind of clean up the whole world kind of thing.
Right, sure.
And they had to send in the Silver Surfer to-
To stop him.
To stop him, yeah.
Okay.
That was pretty fun.
Because he's from like a bad reality as well, isn't he?
Well, we're all from a bad reality.
Sure.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
These days, politics the way they are.
I hear you.
Yeah.
Do you want some Smallville news?
Yeah.
In the spirit of Tom Hardy being cast as Venom?
Okay, so Tom Welling opened up about the season finale of...
Was he sobbing?
Because he did?
Because you never...
You said opened up.
Nobody opens up in a happy way.
Sure.
He's always sobbing.
Well, you know, the point of contention of that final episode,
which, to be fair, I didn't follow it all the way through.
Right.
But Superman, he's in it for like the last minute
and you don't see him up close.
Correct.
And whatever.
So this is the original idea, right?
This is Tom Welling's words.
So the final scene of Smallville
is that he's working,
he's in Metropolis,
he's working the Daily Planet
and there's a crisis
and then he sort of runs up the stairs
and he opens the shirt
in the classic Superman style
and I think you zoom in on the logo and then he flies off.
And you see him kind of from a distance and whatever.
I think he catches a plane or something.
I can't remember.
Because he still can't fly in this universe.
So he catches a plane to get where he's going.
He rips off and he's got the Superman uniform and the cape
and it's flowing and then he just gets in line
at like Delta Airlines.
Right. They lose his luggage he says our finale was supposed to be in the first act clark puts on the suit and flies around saves lois on a plane
and does some other stuff uh it was a call it was a call that i had with peter roth who was
the head of warner brothers television who's a good friend of mine we had a great relationship
and i said that's not our show.
And he said, no, it's going to be great.
And I said, yeah, but just think about what we've been doing.
If we jump into that, we haven't earned it.
Nine seasons.
You know what?
I'm on Welling's side here.
Why?
Because.
That's not what the show's about?
No, but it's maybe not that.
But look, I think he's correct, but not for his own reasoning.
I think he's correct because you just had nine seasons of him
sort of fighting crime and being a hero without the costume.
And then to do one episode where he's in the costume
would be weird, I feel.
Sure, okay.
I think because then you'd be like, well,
why not do another season where he is in the costume? Well, feel. Sure, okay. I don't think... Because then you'd be like, well, why not do another season
where he is in the costume?
Well, yeah.
Yeah.
Which they did.
Which they did.
They did a comic.
Season 10, the comic book.
Yeah.
But...
But also,
that's what they were building towards.
So...
Like a whole season where he's Superman?
Well, the entire show is building towards that moment.
And I don't understand...
At least show him in the suit.
Probably.
I think what happened is this was one of those shows
that maybe wasn't, they didn't assume it was going to be
as popular as it was.
Right.
Like, I think of that show, How I Met Your Mother,
which was meant to be like a mid-season replacement
and they built like a very short story arc for all the characters
yeah
and then it got way
more popular than they
thought so they kind of
had to throw everything
out and it kind of
ruined the
finale and what have you
but I think maybe this
was the one where they
were like yeah it's
going to be a short
storyline we're going
to see his character
we're going to see all
the supporting characters
and we're going to see
Lex Luthor and we're
going to go oh you
know they're going to
have words in the future
and etc and then he's
going to be Superman in two seasons or whatever and then it's finished but because it went for
nine seasons yeah they had to go okay well all right well we're running out of storyline so
let's put in some actual superheroes and let's put in some the blur the blur and put in all this
sort of stuff fortress fortress of solitude which made it, it threw out the whole timeline of the DC universe
in the sense that everybody became a superhero before he did.
Right, yeah.
They already had Black Canary and Aquaman
and all these characters as fully formed characters
with costumes and names and power sets and whatever.
So you're saying it was already ballsed up.
Yeah.
So it doesn't matter.
I think that's what I'm saying, yeah.
They said in the end,
I felt like we gave them a good jumping off point
for the imagination as to what could happen.
Yeah, I think he's right.
I think he's wrong.
Wow.
Let's get Tom Welling on the show.
I just think that was the point of the show.
I mean, maybe not a whole episode,
but something.
Have him do something as Superman.
Oh, like maybe like... I mean, he did do something as Super Bear oh like maybe like
I mean he did do
something but
I don't know
yeah right
something more
interesting than
what they did
what if the last
what if the last
very last scene
was him saving
the plane
like two
isn't that what
isn't that what it is
no he just flies off
oh okay
like he just flies off
into the whatever
like you never actually
see him doing
do you see him go up
to the plane
of Lois in the plane
and he waves through the window?
I'm 100% sure you see that.
I don't think so at all.
Okay.
Well, look, play it in silence.
I will.
Okay, good.
I'm very confident he just flies off and that's it.
Okay.
Yeah.
You're probably right.
But I think maybe it would have made you happy if...
No.
Yeah, I was going to say nothing would have.
But it would have made you somewhat happier if the last two minutes was like there's going to be some...
There's going to be a plane crash or whatever
and he flies up and he catches the plane
and that's the final thing.
Like him doing something super hero-y.
Yes, I think that's better.
Okay, right.
That's right.
Well, just imagine it then, you dullard.
Well, imagine this. Yes dullard Well imagine this Yes
I imagine you giving me
The finger was that
Oh is this
Oh
Imagine this Mason
Yep
It's great
Okay so there's
I should turn this down
Yeah turn this down
I've got two windows open
Yeah I don't know
What are you doing
It's how you opened this the very first
okay so yeah he opens his shirt yep good Remy zero begins to play I'm sure we saw him fly up
don't imagine that what you're thinking of there was a for whatever reason like three or four
seasons in they tease that he can fly but he's, like he can only fly when he's being mentally controlled by somebody else.
Oh man.
I was, yeah, I remember that.
And he like, at one point he like blasts into like Lex Luthor's private plane or something
like that.
I was, I was like a hundred percent sure that there's a moment where you see him in the
suit fully.
I don't think you do.
Yeah.
I'm an idiot.
Hang on.
Okay.
I'm hanging on.
So his dad gives him the suit.
No, there is.
He does fly in it.
It's not at the very end, but he does do it.
Yeah, because he flies out of the Fortress of Solitude and puts it on.
Huh.
Yeah.
Great.
But you don't really say it.
Yeah.
Oh, this looks like shit.
Well, it was at least a couple of years ago.
Yes.
Sorry.
And there is also a bit where he flies up to Air Force One.
Nice.
Gives the finger to the president.
Yes.
Nice.
He's always saluting the president, isn't he?
Yep.
He's always like, Mr. President.
Yeah, he is.
He saves a plane in it.
Yeah.
Oh, this looks horrible.
I mean, geez.
Who wants a season of this? Good Lord. Yeah, see? Yeah, he's in the suit, but you can't in it. Yeah. Oh, this looks horrible. I mean, jeez. Who wants a season of this?
Good Lord.
Yeah, see?
Yeah, he's in the suit, but you can't see it up close.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
But in season 10 of the comic book also had Smallville Batman.
Yes, it did.
Yeah.
Nice version of the suit, I think.
It has shades of the current version.
Right.
It's got a real big logo on it.
You love the big logo.
I'm a big fan of the logo.
The blogo.
Yes.
Mega City 1 is moving ahead.
Yeah.
Carl Urban's in talks, apparently. He's in talks to be dread. Love it. Yeah, me big fan of the logo. The blogo. Yes. Mega City One is moving ahead. Yeah. Carl Urban's in talks apparently.
He's in talks to be dread.
Love it.
Yeah, me too.
He doesn't need to be in every episode.
What else is he doing?
I hope...
Occasionally a Star Trek film.
I hope it's a prequel and he doesn't wear the helmet,
but they just obscure his face like Wilson.
Oh, yeah, every episode, yeah.
For nine seasons.
Yeah, that'd be great.
And at the end, he doesn't put the helmet on.
Because it's better in your mind.
Because I'm a fuckwit. This is what I think.
Oh, no.
You'll never get a job with a CW, mate.
You'll never get...
All right, give me some plot summaries
for the next few seasons of Arrow.
He gets mad at his family.
He gets mad at his family.
The city's in trouble.
He's okay with killing people, or he isn't.
Yep, sometimes his sister's dead
and then she's alive
everybody's come back to life
there's a team up
team up
different coloured arrows
yep
someone goes rogue
and he doesn't like it
yep
that's right
even though he's
literally rogue
heaps of times
yep
Deathstroke's back
he's back to the cast
he's cool
I like him
no I don't hate Arrow
I'm not against it I'm not against it
I'm not against it either
but I think you need a break
it's one of those shows
where you need a break
yeah
and I took a break
like two years ago
and I never went back to it
but anyway
Megacity 1
there's also some concept art
looks great
very excited
yeah
wait is it going to be
is it going to be weirder
than the last movie
I think it would have to be
well that's
because you only get
a kind of a taste
of Megacity 1 I guess that's true yeah only get a kind of a taste of Mega City 1.
I guess that's true, yeah.
Because that was a very small budget.
What I want, though, so Judge Dredd lives next door to the offices of the judges.
Right.
And the new judges go next door to offer advice, to get advice from him like Wilson, except it's an upside down fence.
Nice.
You just see the bottom.
That's pretty great.
You know what it is?
It's a garage door that's stuck midway.
And he refuses to duck under and he won't let anybody in.
But it's just below the nose height.
And so he gives advice from the garage door.
That would be great.
You could film it from anywhere.
Yes.
It's perfect.
Carl Urban's actual garage.
That's right.
You can film it from anywhere.
Yes.
It's perfect.
Carl Urban's actual garage.
That's right.
Arnold's opened up about his role emotionally in the new Terminator film.
That would be sad.
He says the idea is that they're going to explode.
First of all, he doesn't need to be in it.
The first of all, are they going to explode something?
Is that what they're going to say?
Almost certainly.
The theory is that there must be a blueprint for his version of the Terminator so that there exists in this universe or this reboot,
there was a man.
They're going to explore the reasons
why they chose that man to base the Terminator off.
If you remember from Terminator 3,
there's a deleted scene.
His name's Sergeant Candy.
Yeah, I remember.
And he's got a ridiculous southern accent.
All right, steady on.
We've got southern listeners.
No, but it doesn't sound...
With ridiculous accents.
Ha, ha, ha.
Got him.
Got him.
So I guess, I mean, I think there is an interesting story to tell there.
You take like a grizzled kind of war vet and he gets abducted or whatever.
I think there is something interesting to tell there.
But I also think if you're rebooting it, just maybe don't use him.
Sure, yeah. But then again, he's so tied to the franchise isn't he what would people say would this be set in a post-apocalyptic timeline because
i would much prefer when you said it's a man they've based the terminator on i would much
prefer it to be set in maybe present day no time travel right and maybe he gets in like he is this grizzled veteran and he gets
involved with like an early version of skynet right like that's trying to destroy the world
or something like that and maybe he he stops skynet but they get a scan of his but there has
to be a time travel yeah that doesn't happen but they will do a time they've all got time travel
except for salvation yeah could have done with some time travel if you ask me.
Absolutely, could have done with something.
But that had all sorts of time travel knock-on effects.
Yeah, it did, yeah.
I love how both Salvation and Genesis were both trilogy starters.
Yeah, it's good, isn't it?
They've all got different John Connors.
There's a different John Connor in every movie.
There is, that's true.
Yeah, I love it.
But as I maintain that
because it's a different
sperm every time.
So that's why
it makes sense.
Yeah.
They keep fucking
with the time travel.
It's always a John Connor
but it's a slightly
different John Connor
every time.
Makes sense.
Yeah.
What else?
Should we have any
other thoughts about that?
I feel like there's
too much Terminator news.
There's always too much Terminator news, isn't it?
You could just say it's...
Okay, hypothetically speaking,
what if they were like,
the basis for the T-800 is Dutch Schaefer from Predator?
I would love that.
And it's a Predator?
Yeah.
They merged the universes.
I mean, they've done it.
I'm sure there's got to be a Terminator versus Predator.
There must be.
There have to be. Yeah, you'd think so. There sure there's got to be a Terminator versus Predator. It must be. There have to be.
Yeah, you'd think so.
There's got to be Dark Horse's
There would be a Terminator
versus Predator
versus Alien
versus Robocop.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm on board.
Yeah, look, I don't know
because I'm kind of going off
combining universes.
Sure, absolutely.
Because the amount of times
that it's been done
and it's been done well
is so few.
Yeah.
Like, it's one of those things
that's better in your head.
Like a whole season
of Smallville with Superman.
There's an alien
versus predator
versus the Terminator.
Excellent.
Yeah, good, right?
Why are they fighting?
Aliens.
Yeah, probably.
It's always the aliens
kicking it off, isn't it?
It's never like...
The Terminators
just want to live in peace.
But, you know,
in that situation,
like, the aliens
are such a horrible monster
that the predator
is always slightly,
made slightly more sympathetic.
Yeah.
Look, it does contain Winona Ryder's character
from Alien Resurrection.
Fantastic.
What's her name?
Annalie Call.
What was it?
That's what it says here.
Yeah, that's right, because it's Ash Bishop Call.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
David.
Walter. Nice. They really Bishop Cole. Yeah. Yeah. David. Walter.
Nice.
They really blew it.
Good.
This is interesting.
Miller World has been purchased by Netflix.
Oh, yeah.
Your best mate Miller.
Mark Miller.
We spoke that one time on Twitter.
That's right.
I sent him a congratulatory message.
Didn't hear back.
Oh, boy.
He's rich now.
Yeah, absolutely.
He's rich.
I mean, he was rich, but now he's even richer.
For movie series and kids' TV shows based on the Miller World series.
I would love a Nemesis Saturday morning kids' cartoon.
So good.
Just a man forcibly impregnating somebody.
Yeah.
Beating up like 100 people in a prison.
Oh, so good.
Yeah.
But I like it. But he could count the people as he killed them. Oh, so good. Yeah. But it's, I like it.
But he could count the people as he killed them.
Yes, he could.
And then he'd get all, everybody learned, kids learn to count.
Edutainment.
Count the teeth you're knocking out someone's head.
Miller world edutainment.
I think this is great.
I think it's also, it could usher in a new era of kind of superhero films.
Yes.
And you don't necessarily need the big budget.
Netflix have money, so they could, but not everything needs to be $100, $200 million.
Nemesis doesn't need to be that.
Kick-Ass didn't need to be that.
I think you can tell smaller stories,
but still with a good budget.
So what do you want to see of these?
I want to see Nemesis.
Yep, same.
I want to see...
Huck.
Yeah, I like Huck.
I want to see Superior.
I 100% want to see Superior. Yes, totally. I like Huck. I want to see Superior. I 100% want to see Superior.
Yes, totally.
That one would cost.
That would definitely cost,
but what you might get there is a...
Good Superman film.
A good Superman film, exactly, yeah.
That's the one I want to see.
Actually, when we did speak,
that's one thing he mentioned that he wanted to make.
He wanted to make the definitive Superman kind of movie.
He also said some other very disparaging
stuff about some
other companies
which I won't get
into.
Oh, fair conversation.
Because it's not nice.
Fair exclusive.
Yeah.
No, but I think
there's a lot,
I mean, I don't like
everything that he does
but a lot of the stuff
he does do is very
cinematic and lends
itself to this.
I mean, Kingsman is
obviously the middle
world as well.
So we've already
gotten some really
good stuff.
Would you want to see a spin-off,
like a spin-off
from one of his movie properties?
Would you like to see
Kingsman the series?
Yeah, absolutely.
What about,
oh, you know what would be great?
Kingsman the series,
like,
you know,
we always got like
those British TV series
like The Avengers
or like The Saint
or something like that.
Right.
So it's every week
like that,
but with massive ultraviolence.
Yes.
Like it's like, oh, the jewels are missing from the queens,
whatever, and then they have to investigate it.
And then it's just them chopping people to pieces.
Just faces getting sliced off.
Yeah, that'd be good.
Yeah.
I think also the Marvel Netflix stuff,
and I'm hoping The Defenders kind of steps it up a bit.
That's coming up soon, right?
It's coming up next week.
Yeah.
It's getting a bit samey.
And I think if they suddenly injected this comic book TV series, which isn't just set in alleys and warehouses.
Yeah, right.
And it's hyper-color and what?
Not hyper-color.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Hyper-colorful.
What if Nemesis had a hyper-color uniform?
It starts white, but as he continues to fight, turns a lovely shade of te mean? Yeah. Hypercolourful. What if Nemesis had a hypercolour uniform? It starts white, but as he continues to fight,
turns a lovely shade of teal.
Yeah.
That would be...
It'd be hard to film with that suit as well,
like that bright white suit.
Yeah, yeah.
I think this is a good move.
Sure.
Yeah.
Imagine if Netflix bought this, Mason,
the cinematic universe we could make,
the money we'd make, and then we'd make nothing.
Oh, you mean the Weekly Planet cinematic universe.
Okay, great.
That'd be fantastic.
Yeah.
I was, yeah, just, I imagine, what would it cost to recreate this set though?
Billions of dollars.
I noticed you, last week we had a guest on, our pal Charlie Clausen from Tofop.
Yeah.
And you cleaned the house up.
I did.
And it's fallen into disrepair again.
Yeah, it has.
Now that it's just me again, you don't care.
No, it's about the same, isn't it?
It's about the same, yeah.
The thing is, when I put something down, it never moves.
And then in six months I turn around and I'm like,
what happened here?
Because it snuck up on me.
Yeah.
I hope you're not referring to the dog there.
Yes, I am.
Once I put something down, it never moves.
I don't understand.
And then I'm like, what happened here?
You killed a dog, mate.
The dog's fine.
Dog's fine, yeah.
Avengers 4 has started filming.
That's good.
Nothing else to say there.
Great.
Still don't know what it is.
Justice League also, we've got some...
This is just rumours concerning the cut of the film.
This is the rumours there's going to be a lot more changes than we thought.
From one source, the first cut was deemed unwatchable.
Oh, no.
Yeah, which is never good, obviously.
Yeah, sure.
No, in some circumstances, unwatchable is great.
Like maybe you've had a really big day, you want to go home,
turn on the Netflix and you're like,
I want to watch something that's unwatchable so I can go to sleep.
Finally.
Apparently, Joss Whedon has been lightening the tone.
A lot of the Cyborg stuff has been changed.
Miles Dyson said that, the actor who plays Cyborg's dad.
Not actually named Miles Dyson.
No, that's what he's called.
And also, apparently the ending was going to be Darkseid, Stepsir or Boomtube or whatever.
That's right.
And that's gone.
Well, that's what we assumed it was because Steppenwolf is the stepping stone to Darkseid steps through a boom tube or whatever. That's right. And that's gone. Well, that's what we assumed it was because Steppenwolf is the stepping stone to Darkseid
because it's Darkseid's son.
Yes.
Or General?
I always thought it was his...
Oh, you know what?
Ryan's his son.
Ryan's his son.
Ryan's his son.
It's him with a beard.
Yeah.
Ryan's got a little beard.
But yeah, it's his...
I think they're related somehow.
They probably are.
Nephew or something?
Uncle?
Yeah, maybe.
Yeah, you might be right.
But I think the idea was they were going to do it Mortal Kombat style
where they defeat Steppenwolf and then Darkseid comes out of the clouds
and he's like, I'm here to take over the world.
And then Raiden's like, I don't think so.
I don't think so.
I just think it's like if you spend a movie where you're fighting
a big hulking grey guy with lightning and smoke
and you're fighting an army hulking gray guy with lightning and smoke and
you're fighting an army of faceless parademons yeah and then another big hulking gray guy
through a portal exactly it's kind of like what are you what are we doing here yeah you know
exactly and also initially remember they were going to do justice league part one and two back
to back yep so that was probably how the original one finished anyway but i Who knows how this is going to go?
I mean, we don't even know any of this is true.
But I think maybe they have taken some of the feedback on board
in the sense that Wonder Woman,
which people did like a lot,
but universally more than the other couple.
Yeah.
One criticism that we definitely had was the finale again
was a big grey guy and fire and smoke and lightning again.
Yeah.
And there's only so many times you can do that, surely.
That was actually one thing that they said,
Wonder Woman has kind of rolled, has been beefed up.
Right, yeah.
Because I knew it.
You knew it.
So that's, you know, it's not bad news.
I mean, if it is a mess, then these are all good steps.
Sure.
Towards making something.
I mean, if the...
If there's a mess anywhere, for example, in your house,
maybe you clean it up, even when your famous friends aren't here,
maybe just when your regular friends are here.
Maybe.
Is that a metaphor?
No.
Clean up your house.
What have we got here?
Disney have announced a new streaming service starting in 2019.
It's probably called D-Box or Diz Life. D-Box.
Wow.
I think that's already a thing, isn't it?
Like a theatre thing with like the cinema shakes.
Oh, yeah, it is.
Yeah, you might be right.
We'll think of another name of it.
Diz Stream.
Yeah, Diz Stream.
Yeah, good.
Yeah.
Mickey in your house.
That's what I'd call it.
And Mickey is like your virtual guy,
and he's like the paperclip from Microsoft Word.
You can't get rid of him.
And he's like, hi.
Even during a movie.
Yeah.
Are you still watching this?
There's an automatic shut off.
Yes, Mickey. All off. Yes, Mickey.
All right.
God, Mickey.
They're going to end their run with Netflix.
There's still a whole lot of stuff is in flux.
Oh, does that mean they're going to take all their Marvel stuff on Netflix?
We don't know yet.
So it's still kind of up in the air.
Yes.
So I think it's, I mean, of course, they've got enough properties.
They own enough stuff where, of course course they're going to do this.
I'm going to,
I'm going to get this thing no matter what it is.
You know what I mean?
No,
like day one,
I'm going to be getting this.
And I'd imagine,
I don't know this for a fact because we don't know anything on the show.
Neutron series.
That's what you think.
They could,
you know what?
They could,
but well,
they did an animated series as well,
but I think they're going to launch this with a Star Wars series.
It'll either be maybe the new animated one or a live action one
because everybody will get that day one.
Oh, totally.
Yeah.
So, I mean, it makes total sense that they're doing this.
Do you think we're getting away from,
we're going to end up having like a thousand apps on our TVs,
which is just all the different streaming services and whatever.
I mean, my phone's got a hundred apps on it, but really only four.
That's true.
What apps on your TV do you use?
Do you have TV apps?
Yes, but I don't think my TV's plugged in, if I'm honest with you.
Yeah, sure.
Yeah, our cable box.
I'm not saying I'm too good for TV.
You are too good.
I'm saying I'm too lazy to plug in my TV.
Well, there's nothing on.
Yeah, exactly.
And you can watch anything good later. That'm saying I'm too lazy to plug in my TV. Well, there's nothing on. Yeah, exactly. And you can watch anything good later.
That's what I'm talking about.
Though, Claire, because we don't get regular TV anymore,
and Claire keeps being like, can you get a new TV thing?
Because I don't watch it.
An aerial.
Yeah.
Sure.
I'm like, I'll get around to it, but I haven't.
Hang on, the dog's at the door, mate.
I'll get the dog.
I'll get the dog.
You get the dog?
The dog's at the door.
Is there anything in particular you want to see on the Marvel Netflix Universe TV-iverse?
Sit down.
Wait.
What are we talking about?
Netflix?
No, sorry.
Disney.
Disney.
The Diz Box.
The Diz Box.
They'll call it the Dizmal Box.
Yes.
You don't want that.
I would like to see some more Tron content.
Tron Tent.
Exactly.
You want a Tron-themed tent.
I love Tron Legacy for some reason.
You're the only one.
I know.
You're tricked by the soundtrack.
It's really good.
I played it today.
It was on Netflix.
Go down to, here's a hot tip for anybody,
go down like a dark freeway, middle of the night,
put the Tron Legacy soundtrack on, blow your mind.
Put the lights on.
Also be on LSD.
That's a handy hint.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Before we get into our topic, oh, no, there's other things. I should just quickly say, we've got one more thing to talk. That's a handy hint. Yeah. Yeah. Before we get into our topic,
oh no,
there's other things.
I should just quickly say,
we've got one more thing
to talk about
that's Star Wars related.
We finally got the Q&A out.
Oh yeah, we did.
Raw Collings,
when I say we,
Raw Collings did it.
There's a video message
to say thank you.
Yeah.
There's a,
there's a,
it's like nearly a two hour Q&A
where we just talk about
all the questions
that people asked
and whatever.
Yeah.
We're going to leave this open
for another two weeks
and then we're shutting it down
for the year.
And then you can't get it
ever again.
Yeah, well maybe
we'll put it up again next year.
There's also the old Q&A.
Sure.
So I'll leave the link
to the donation below.
It's a campaign
for men's mental health.
It's up to like
$43,000 or $44,000.
Yeah, wild.
Yeah.
So yeah, it's just a little bit of extra kind of stuff
from from us there's also and i forgot to put this in so if you're listening to this now
and one of the people that asked me about i didn't put the winners of the 3d cameras
right so i'll put them in the description by the time you hear this they will they will be there
and then we'll get those mailed out ASAP. 360 cameras.
Yes, what did I say?
3D cameras.
They are two-dimensional.
They're two-dimensional but in 360 degrees, my friend.
You better believe it.
It's a higher number than three.
That's right. That's good.
So, yeah, that'll be...
We'll probably mention it again next week and then...
Yeah, we're shutting it down.
Yep.
So, if you want to donate any amount of money, do it.
Mason, Star Wars.
There was some kind of, it was either a Vanity Fair or an Entertainment Weekly.
I don't remember.
It was in a magazine.
Was there a fancy, was there like a fancy floaty like photo shoot kind of situation?
Probably.
Vanity Fair.
I don't know.
No, it wasn't.
It wasn't Vanity Fair.
I think they already did their Vanity Fair one.
These are some answers we're going to be getting in episode eight.
Okay.
Does Luke Skywalker push Rey off the cliff?
That's point number one.
It says no.
They actually mentioned that.
They said some idiot.
Oh, what?
I'm that idiot.
We find out why Luke's in hiding,
and it's got to do with because he thought Kylo Ren was the chosen one.
Okay.
So it's interesting because is
there a chosen one well that's the thing there was the prophecy but everybody thinks it's somebody
different so wait the prophecy is that someone will bring balance to the force so that hasn't
been well it was originally thought to be anakin yes and it's also ruined everything well he did
but then he did technically destroy the sith yeah but then in But then in Star Wars Rebels, Obi-Wan says that Luke is the chosen one.
Okay.
And now Luke is saying that, thinks that Kylo Ren was the chosen one.
So because it's open to interpretation.
Yes.
Like it may have already happened or it may not have.
So yeah, I don't know.
Also, Rey thinks he's a prick because she's like, train me.
And he's like, no.
No, I'm going to push you off a cliff.
Mark my words.
We'll also answer her parentage.
Okay.
I don't think that'll be as satisfying.
I think it'll just be like, yeah, she was this and her parents wanted to protect her.
So do you put her on this planet because she's a Jedi or whatever.
Also, I think they said that Snoke is not necessarily revealed who he is.
Okay.
And people are saying there's a comparison between that and Snoke and the Emperor.
Because we didn't know who the Emperor was initially.
That's true, yeah.
He was just like a guy.
And then it was slowly revealed.
So make of that what you will or will not.
What if he was just like...
What if the opening scene,
Snoke's just like,
I am just a guy.
Just to be clear.
I want to be clear.
Like he has a big monologue.
It's just two cameras,
directly to camera.
He's like, listen, I'm just a guy.
I'm just like you.
I put my weird space pants on one leg at a time
over my weird melted face.
I do it in reverse.
Ryan Johnson also says, from here on out,
don't watch or read any of the publicity stuff.
I want to go in.
Because I'm spoiling it, he says.
Yes.
I'm deliberately putting a spoiler in every promotional piece of work.
On the real piece of work.
That's right.
I think I'm going to do one more trailer.
Okay.
I'll do that breakdown and then that'll do me.
I'm done, yeah.
But people love them, right?
Yeah, I know.
But they're killing you?
Not even that.
I just don't want to know.
You know what I mean? I want to go in. I want to have something kind of, you know. But they're killing you? Not even that. I just don't want to know. You know what I mean?
I want to go in.
I want to have something kind of, you know.
Sure.
Keep the mystery alive, Mason.
It's the same with the relationship.
You can always keep them guessing.
Never satisfy.
Always on the run.
Yeah, good.
Be emotionally distant.
You know this.
Oh, absolutely.
All the classic moves.
Wear a hat with a feather in it
negging goggles goggles wear some goggles

Okay, so we thought we'd throw out some ideas for episode 200.
Yep.
And one of them, which is coming up in a couple weeks,
we'll probably just end up doing a regular episode,
or maybe it's out that week or something.
Yeah, right.
We'll do something.
Or maybe the Defenders will be so bad that we'll continue to talk about it
for weeks afterwards and we can just do an extended episode on that.
I do want to do a Stephen King episode.
So maybe it'll be that week.
Yeah, okay.
We'll have to watch more Stephen King though, I think.
Yeah, we can watch some recaps on YouTube.
Okay, great.
Sounds good.
Great.
Yeah, but one person suggested, and I don't know if you have their name,
that it was... Cormac McGarry. Cormac McGarry. Yeah. Great. Yeah, but one person suggested, and I don't know if you have their name, that it was...
Cormac McGarry.
Cormac McGarry.
Yeah.
Great name.
Because, so...
To celebrate 200 episodes.
All we know about the upcoming episode 200
is your wife accidentally booked us three ads.
Yes.
Whereas normally we'd have one or two.
And we can't get out of them.
Can't get out of them.
So one of the ideas we thought about was we should do an episode on the worst.
Episode 200 should be about the most shameless and worst product placement.
Yes.
In movies and TV shows.
Correct.
And then we're like, look, we probably, like, that's not really a bumper episode kind of topic.
Yeah, yeah.
It's more of a fill-in episode topic.
That's right.
So let's do it this week.
It's more decide on the morning of the episode.
Yep. when we text
each other and be like what are we what are we doing today yeah product placement sometimes it's
good and sometimes it's bad well that's the thing isn't it oxford english dictionary defines
product placement as no i don't have it that whenever i'm you're at a wedding or whatever
and somebody opens up a speech with that i'm'm like, this is going to be no good.
What I remember, the one that really stood out to me,
the first time I really noticed it,
even though it had happened a lot before,
the Converse shoes in iRobot.
There are three different scenes.
There's a scene where he gets them delivered.
It's the Converse 2004.
Because it came out in 2004.
It came out in 2004.
And he opens the box and he's like, vintage 2004.
No, he says, I watched it.
He says, a thing of beauty.
And then he's at his grandma's house and she says,
what are you wearing on your feet?
And he goes, what these?
And he puts his shoe up and then he says, vintage 2004.
And then at the end, his boss says, towards the end, he's leaving a cafe and his boss is like, hey, Spoon, because he's named Spoon in that movie.
Sure, right.
Nice shoes.
And he's like, gives him a nod.
Nice.
Great.
Nice.
I used to love those.
That's all I used to wear, man.
I was well into those shoes.
I'm wearing them right now.
I mean, not literally right now, but I get some.
They might even be vintage 2004
because they're leather ones
which first came out in 2004
but he has like black ones
right yeah
anyway
yeah
what a bunch of garbage
as product placement
is that a good movie
uh no
but also
if you're a
if you're
like first of all
if you're a vintage shoe collector
you don't want the ones from 2004
because don't they fall ones from 2004 because...
Don't they fall apart or something?
And they're also made in Vietnam.
You want the ones that are made in America
and they stopped doing that years ago.
Right, okay.
And also they do fall apart.
The rubber in sneakers, if you expose them to air,
they disintegrate eventually.
But they come in a box of air.
Yeah.
Oh, yes.
Yeah, they're doomed.
Okay, from the get-go. They're doomed from the get-go. They're like. Yeah, they're doomed. Okay, from the get-go.
They're doomed from the get-go.
They're like a Lana Del Rey song.
They're doomed from the get-go.
There's a lot of product placement in that movie, I remember.
There's like Audis.
There's an Audi concept car.
The RSQ was in there briefly.
Yeah.
Alan Tudyk.
I think that was Audi's first product placement ever.
Really?
And then they're like, let's go nuts forever.
Every Marvel movie.
Every Marvel movie.
It's got a bloody Audi car in it.
Even if somebody hijacks a car, they're always like, oh, there's handling on it.
They're like, get out of the car, get out of the car.
And they throw some screaming gram out of the car.
And they get in there like, oh, handling's great.
Oh, this is delightful.
I think once i've
finished destroying the world i'll uh get one of these oh what a what a fun time so would you say
in age of ultron yeah when sokovia has like the nation of sokovia has been lifted into the sky
yes by ultron and he's going to drop it and kill everyone on the planet hawkeye and black widow
just get into the nearest abandoned car and it's
an audi yeah there's and this is like a town where all the men are like run beat down farmers and the
women wear like head scarves like they're polish prisoners they're all in mourning they've all got
the black scarf in their morning but one guy has an audi that's the mayor's car that they
he's fallen off the cliff yeah so yeah but it's well edgar wright mentioned this when we met edgar
wright that time that he finds those kind of car chases confusing because it's just black
aldis yeah exactly chasing each other yeah they do need to mix it up a bit but all but they're in
they're in everything now but i think i guess one of the pioneers for for product placement is bond
right yeah absolutely so it's always, before the movies come out,
it's always about the watch, the car, and the suit, right?
Yes, but initially, that wasn't the case.
Was it just his car that he had?
Well, in the first Bond film,
Sean Connery wears Ian Fleming's Rolex.
Right.
Like he has a Rolex and...
He severed off his hand with a laser and stole his Rolex.
Exactly, that's right.
But so, yeah, so Ian Fleming contacted Rolex and said,
can you give us one for the movie?
And they're like, no.
So he just provided his own one.
Yeah.
And so that sort of became, which is, yeah.
Wow, that's nuts.
And now they're doing Omega, aren't they?
Or was that what they're up to?
Now, yeah, because it's always a naval watch.
It used to be the Rolex Submariner,
and now it's the Omega Seamaster.
Right, okay.
Are they good watches?
Yeah.
Yeah?
I mean, look, not to get too technical about it,
but I mean, like, the watch industry has, like,
one of the highest markups.
Not the watches that sponsor us, Mason.
No, that's right.
They're great.
Whoever they are. The movement. That sponsor us, Mason. No, that's right. They're great. Whoever they are.
The movement.
That's movement, yeah.
Yeah.
But like the watch.
That's like the diamond trade.
So it's just like an insane market.
Yeah, and sometimes watches have complicated internal movements
and that's why they're expensive.
But also, like sometimes you get a watch and it's a million dollars
and it's just, there's no way you can justify a watch
that costs a million dollars.
It's because it's a watch that costs a million dollars
and you can put it on and be like, hey, everybody look at my million dollar watch.
Like that's the...
Because you're a dumb prick.
Precisely, yes.
Do you remember that time I went to buy a watch
and it was in the era of leather band watches?
Like the big cuff.
The big cuff, yeah.
Yeah, the big cuff, I remember.
And it was like a hundred or two hundred dollar watch
and for an extra hundred dollars and they floated this with me. You could put, there's one with just one diamond. It had a diamond100 or $200 watch. And for an extra $100, and they floated this with me,
you could put...
There's one with just one diamond.
It had a diamond in it, I remember.
I remember him asking it.
I remember just thinking, is this a real question?
And the diamond was like the size of a speck of dust.
Yeah, that's right.
Like it didn't sparkle.
It was so lacking in dimensionality that it wouldn't sparkle,
regardless of what angle you put it at.
I'd have to tell people that that was a thing, which worse you have to be like hey this is a diamond they'd be
like what why exactly it's a hundred dollar feather in your hat yeah it's right you know
you know what i mean yeah but uh what else we got here do you remember in the in the early well
1990 there was a big pizza hut push for the Ninja Turtles.
Oh, yes.
And they put like $20 million into the marketing.
Remember they had all the fridge magnet toys or whatever they did here.
Is Pizza Hut any good?
I don't...
Listen, I don't want to get too technical about the pizza industry.
Sure.
It's fine, right?
I don't know.
I don't remember.
I had one recently.
It was pretty good.
All right. But dominoes are in the movie. The guy turns up in a dominoes outfit. Oh, yeah. industry sure it's fine right i don't know i don't remember i had one recently okay all right
but but dominoes are in the movie the guy turns up in a dominoes oh yeah and he slips the dominoes
pizza down the down the sewer grate that's right to the to michelangelo or whatever so how did
that happen i don't know i guess it's just two separate deals they made a deal with dominoes
to be in the movie and pizza hut was was the campaign because i could have sworn that that
was wow that's a real montague's and capul I could have sworn that that was... Wow, that's a real Montagues and Capulet situation,
if you ask me.
That's liable to create a civil war.
I could have sworn, though, that that was a Pizza Hut delivery
because I just remember at that time Pizza Hut was everywhere.
Yeah, Dougie the Pizza Boy, I remember.
Dougie the Pizza Boy.
And you'd go to Pizza Hut and you'd get the works.
It was like six bucks or whatever.
And then you'd get unlimited pizza forever.
I remember eating it just being like, I don't even like pizza that much.
I've done that as an adult.
And?
No, because our friend Steel Saunders.
Yes.
He at one point did a live show.
He has a show called Green Guide.
I love Green Guide letters.
Is this turning into us just doing product placement?
Yes, it is.
But anyway, it's a great podcast.
It's an iTunes.
But anyway, he did a live show in Ballarat.
Oh, I remember this.
Or Bendigo.
And I...
You don't know whether it was Ballarat or Bendigo.
It doesn't matter.
You've been there.
I don't know.
Which one did you go to?
Ballarat.
It was Ballarat.
Okay, yeah.
That's where you went to uni, right?
Yeah, yeah.
One of them, yeah.
Okay, all right.
You've been to uni a whole bunch.
You've got a lot of degrees.
All right, we get it.
Barely.
But anyway, we went there and one of the major draw cards
was we got to have all the Kino Pizza Hut
because there's one freestanding Pizza Hut remaining in Victoria.
Because they do do delivery, don't they?
Yeah, Pizza Hut still exists.
No, I know, but I'm saying there used to be restaurants.
Yeah, shaped like huts.
Yeah, well, there's one relatively near us now.
Let's go.
It's a Chinese restaurant now or whatever, but it looks like a Pizza Hut.
Yeah, totally, yeah.
Yeah, because that's how they used to build them.
Yeah.
They just leave the structure in place.
Anyway.
Anyway, I went there and it was great.
Good.
You got a cheesy crust?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I think that's too much cheese.
What are you doing?
Anyway, also, I think it was either Ninja Turtles from last year or the previous one,
Michael Bay one. Splinter tortures the Ninja Turtles from last year or the previous one, Michael Bay one.
Splinter tortures the Ninja Turtles by buying a delicious Pizza Hut pizza.
And he's trying to get information out of them.
And he's like, this one has four types of cheese.
So he's trying to get them to crack with a Pizza Hut pizza.
I would think that Raphael would just stab him and take the pizza.
That's what I was going to say about James Bond and product placement.
We did a caravan
of garbage recently yes recorded one yeah we played the video it's not out yet right uh it'll
be either this week no sorry it's but i think it'll be two weeks yeah okay anyway we played
the uh james bond video game everything or nothing which is an original premise love it james bond
great guy it was good at the time yeah but anyway his car in in that is like, it's the Porsche Cayenne,
which is like Porsche's family SUV.
Yes.
But it can turn invisible.
Yes, and it's got missiles.
I remember at the time going,
this is the worst product placement they've ever done.
There are other cars in it.
Yeah, right.
But yeah, that's the first one you get.
I remember at the time being, are they serious?
Yeah.
Like, this is the car?
Yeah.
What, like, it would have been like, you know, 18 to 35-year-old male is like, that's the car for me.
That's the car, $100,000 family SUV.
Yeah, that's what I want.
Yeah.
Insane.
I'm going to trade in my 1990 Ford Falcon and get a Porsche Cayenne.
Anyway, good onenne. Anyway,
good on him.
Yeah, good on him.
Porsche has so many cool cars.
I know.
There's cars later.
I don't know what it was.
Well,
Bond also moved to Lexus,
didn't they?
At one point?
No.
Or Jaguar?
No, the bad guys drive Jaguars.
Right.
Is that always the way it is?
No, they moved to Mercedes.
Didn't he do Mercedes at one point?
Or BMWs? He's had a BMW.
Okay, right. I'll just name it. What is it, Mason? Miss to Mercedes. Didn't he get a Mercedes at one point? Or BMWs? He's had a BMW.
Okay, right. I'll just name it.
What is it, Mason?
Missons?
You've got to do a straight.
Did he have a Toyota Corolla?
He's never had a Toyota Corolla.
Which is the,
because I remember the one,
it was a big deal
when Goldeneye came out.
Yeah.
The blue BMW.
They paid Bond,
they paid the BMW,
yeah, he had a BMW Z3.
Right.
And it cost $8 million
to put that car in.
They paid the production company
$8 million.
That would have easily
made that back.
Yeah,
they made like,
that year they made like
$480 million in sales
for that car or something.
Great.
Now,
there's other,
like,
there's also subtle
product placement in Bond.
Like,
there's the stuff like
in Casino Royale where it's like, nice watch, and it's like like there's the stuff like in casino where
it's like nice watch and it's like it's an omega go fuck yourself i'm rich yeah but uh there's also
i know you because you notice this i don't notice as much like the suits and the clothing and things
like that uh-huh yeah so how do you feel about that kind of product placement you obviously you
would say that's a better use of it well i see but it's not as like for me i'm like i don't know what that suit is and i'll never get it also i wouldn't look good in it
i get but i mean my what what is weirdest to me about that is that okay in the last couple of
movies the suits are all made by tom ford who's a you know a well-regarded designer but first but
firstly the suits he designed he makes for the film don't look anything like the suits he makes for his own fashion line.
Why is that?
I don't know.
But also, they fit really poorly.
He looks like a sausage in all those movies.
But he's so muscular.
Yeah.
He's got fighting jackets.
Yeah, I've mentioned this on the show before.
Fun fact that's only fun to me.
But he has, in the last couple of Bond movies, Daniel Craig has two sets of wardrobe, like identical sets of wardrobe.
One is like, it's called the hero wardrobe, I believe.
And it's so tight that he can't move in it.
So like if he's just standing somewhere.
Like a sausage.
Like a sausage.
He's standing there and it's so like,
and he wants to show up, he's rippling biceps or whatever.
He's got them in a certain size, which is too small.
But if he needs to do anything, they have to,
presumably they have to strip him naked on set
and then put an identical set of clothes on him
that's a size bigger.
So he could wave his arms.
So he can literally do anything.
If he needs to jump or kick or punch or whatever,
they have to put the biggest suit on him.
It's embarrassing.
Just give him one suit that fits.
Did you, with...
He looks like an idiot.
And also, the point, what, the thing about Bond is,
the idea is he dresses well.
Yeah.
But the original version of Bond, he dresses well because in that era,
everybody just wore a suit.
Right, yeah.
If you're a businessman, you wore a suit and tie.
Or if you went to a casino, it had some sort of veneer of being classy,
so you'd wear a tuxedo.
Sure, yeah.
But the idea was he doesn't stand out in any way.
But if you saw Daniel Craig at like an airport,
bring his tiny little sausage suit,
like he's with his little drain pipe trousers and his bulging glutes coming
out the back.
He'd be like,
who's that guy?
Like you'd go business man,
businessman,
businessman,
killer,
killer.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Like did his suit shrink in the wash?
Yeah, absolutely.
Or does he work at, like, a fashion, like, the most, is he the most fashionable assassin?
That's a really good point.
I think the Brosnan era make an effort to cash him up, but in hindsight, it's the coolest
casual clothes of the day.
Oh, yeah.
But they look ridiculous now.
Yeah, oh, absolutely.
Yeah.
Because I went to the, at the Melbourne Museum a while back, they had a James Bond exhibition right and they had like some brosnan era suits and i'm like they don't look
good big wide ties big white yep exactly yeah i remember the bit from die another day where he
comes into the hotel naked and he orders all the suits and they come in and they they fit him they
measure him up and fit him for the suits then but other than that i don't really remember them
making a big deal of any any of the suits so you think you should be more cash more hawaiian well they did it they did it well
in casino yes because he dresses appropriately to the occasion and you wouldn't yeah well he
wears go past him on the street you'd be like there's a guy in a suit who cares he he gets his
suit when he has to play poker when he has to when he's in the high school game so that you're right
yeah that makes sense yeah and every other movie is just a sausage running around
in a tiny little suit.
Wayne's World also has a Pizza Hut tie-in.
Well, I was going to ask you.
They hang a lantern on it.
They're like, oh, I'd never.
He goes, I'll never bow to any sponsor.
And then he eats a delicious slice of Pizza Hut pizza.
See, there's ways to do that well.
Yeah.
And I think Wayne's World did it and killed it for everything else.
Because then if you look at, like, Sandler does it a lot they do like popeye's chicken they do duncan donuts and
it's just the worst yeah and even though they are hanging a lantern on it yeah it's clear that adam
sandler's just taken four of his dumb friends and they just want to live on an island for four months
and feel some garbage yeah what do you think of the Waynesboro thing, though?
Yeah, I think they did.
I mean, that was the first of that kind.
Really?
Yeah.
We say that, but we don't know.
I'm trying to think of those other, like, blatant,
like, intentionally blatant.
It only cost BMW $3 million to put the Roadster in Goldeneye.
Okay, well, that's still quite a lot of money. I mean, it's more than we have on us right now.
Yes, it is.
Speaking of, I would never have remembered this,
but in The Invention of Lying,
Ricky Gervais reads the commandments off the back of a Pizza Hut box.
What a movie.
Yeah, great.
It's no good, that shit.
What else do we got here?
I got a list here, Mason.
Okay, I'm ready.
I'm going to go through some stuff.
Okay.
Sony, like, they fill their movies to the brim with camcorders, TVs, phones, and all that.
Except for Spider-Man Homecoming, which is a Sony...
Not as much?
No, but they use like Dell computers or something.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, there's a fun fact for you.
It's probably incorrect.
Really?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, that's a fun fact for you.
It's probably incorrect.
In Chappie, they download someone's head into 10 PS4s or something like that. That's right, yeah.
But one of the things that really stands out in The Amazing Spider-Man,
they rectify this in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, is he uses Bing.
So Bing clearly gave them a lot of money.
Oh, yeah.
And everybody just laughed.
Yeah, I remember.
Because nobody...
Do you know anybody who uses Bing?
No.
Have you ever used Bing?
I've never used Bing.
I've gone to check it out to be like,
oh, no, this is just a worse version of Google.
Or it's the same.
Either way, I'm not used to it,
so I'm not going to use it.
Yeah.
I'll never use a search engine
named after any character or friends.
Right.
Not even gunterhunt.com.
No, sir.
Not for me.
I bet that's something weird and German.
Yeah.
Don't click on it.
Let me check this out.
No, site cannot be reached.
Okay, you have to buy it now.
Yes.
Otherwise people will put something gross there.
Okay, back to Adam Sandler just quickly.
Oh, here we go.
One of the most blatant bits, and I don't remember this because I don't remember the movie, Gross there. Okay, back to Adam Sandler just quickly. Oh, here we go.
One of the most blatant bits, and I don't remember this because I don't remember the movie,
but I watched a few clips on product placement.
There's a big, in Little Nicky, which is a terrible film.
That voice, the whole thing, it's no good.
But there's a bit where he's always talking about
how good Popeye's chicken is.
Yeah, right.
It's the best chicken.
And I've come to earth and Popeye's chicken is the best thing in the world.
And then at the end, the demons rush him
and he magics a big bucket of Popeye's chicken.
And they say, Popeye's chicken is the shizney.
That's what they say.
That's why you said that thing earlier.
That's why I said it earlier.
That's what you were thinking.
It was in my head.
Yeah. That's the worst. That's the worst said that thing earlier. That's why I said it earlier. Yeah, right. That's what you were thinking of. It was in my head. Yeah.
Do you remember when Superman...
That's the worst.
That's the worst thing ever.
Yeah.
But that's all he does now.
Like, Jack and Jill is the same.
Yeah.
Like, that's got Al Pacino in, like, a Dunkin' Donuts commercial and et cetera.
Yes.
Dunk-a-chino.
Dunk-a-chino.
Exactly, Dunk-a-chino.
No, really, that's what he says.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's insane.
That was in a...
Because Red Letter Media did the Ghostbusters review and they kept bringing it up.
In Superman 2, he flies into a Marlboro truck and smokes it.
I was going to say, how did he smoke in the way?
A quick thousand darts.
He flies through one side, he smokes all the durries in the Marlboro truck
and then he flies out the other end and then the truck driver gets out
and he looks in the empty truck and he's like, he throws his hat that's what happens right that's what
happens yeah well man oh those were the days i don't think you can smoke you can't do that
anymore can you i think there's laws against it i think so yeah yeah can you put them on race cars
still yes you can i think sporting events are exempt for some okay right i think maybe because
the the exertion of sport.
You need to refresh your lungs.
Well, yeah, and it well outmatches the burning of your lungs from smoking.
That's fine.
It's totally fine.
If anything, smoking at a sporting event is healthy.
Do you remember in The Island when they... No.
Whatever you're going to say, no.
I bet you do remember this.
Oh, wait, I was thinking The Island of Dr. Moreau.
I might remember The Island.
Go ahead.
Okay, there's a lot of product placement in that.
It's a Michael Bay movie.
Of course.
Where they go in a...
Speaking of Michael Bay product placement,
most of his movies, The Army.
Oh, that's true.
It is, yeah.
Just The Army.
Because he...
He gets his stuff for free.
He gets everything.
They let him use the equipment,
like actual military equipment for free,
provided he pays for all the stuff he uses.
I assume the fuel and the bullets.
They wouldn't give him bullets, surely.
I don't know.
He'd have to bring his own bullets.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Anyway, yeah, that's an interesting tactic.
I bet they give him real bullets.
They do make the army look super sexy.
Yeah.
And they never give up.
They never give up and whatever.
Tad Hamilton, you can't stop him.
Exactly, you can't.
But in The Island, Scarlett Johansson and Ewan McGregor
have a virtual reality Xbox fight.
I have no memory of that.
At the start, they're both standing on different pads
and then there's holograms of them in the middle fighting.
And it's all life-size.
And it's just them doing judo on each other in a Microsoft hologram, in an Xbox holograms of them in the middle fighting in the middle and it's all life-size and it's just them
doing judo on each other in a microsoft hologram in an xbox hologram if only mason if only that
was the world we lived in got another one uh what about castaway yeah a lot of the a lot of that the
one of the big points of that movie is yeah the fedex FedEx. Yeah. Do you like it?
See, I think that's okay.
How so?
Because I... Couldn't they have made a fake...
Yeah, but I think it's sometimes weirder if it is fake.
Right.
But I guess they could have just been...
Like if it was Gunter Kuria.
Yes, that's right.
Let me just buy that just quickly.
Yes, if you could.
But, no, I think...
You know what?
They could have just been blank parcels then, I guess.
Yeah.
Well, look, I initially thought they did that for free.
Like, they just put it in.
I've looked into it now, and apparently they worked with the filmmakers
over the two-year production.
They provide access to vehicles, uniforms, facilities, blah, blah, blah.
When is there any of that in that movie?
What's that?
Like, isn't it just parcels?
Where did they go to a FedEx?
I can't remember.
Like a FedEx mailing center or whatever.
Okay.
But there's that one FedEx box that he doesn't open.
Remember?
Because it's got angels.
It's got Marcellus Wallace's soul in it.
Yes, that's right.
And Brad Pitt's wife's head.
Gwyneth Paltrow.
Gwyneth Paltrow, sorry.
That's before she was famous.
But I think the director of that movie,
I think it was Robert Zemeckis, was it?
Yeah, it was Zemeckis, yeah.
He's joked that in that last FedEx box that he doesn't open,
there's a satellite phone in there.
You would open it, wouldn't you?
Yes.
You'd open everything.
Yeah.
But what did he think was in it?
He's joked that there was a satellite.
No, but what did Tom Hanks' character think?
No, it was just kind of a metaphor for him.
And when he leaves the island, he'll deliver it and whatever.
And then he ends up doing it.
That's right.
What a movie.
Well, sucks to be everybody else.
Certainly does.
Remember the bit where he knocks his tooth out with a...
He knocks his own tooth out with a...
I was going to say a roller blade.
With an ice skate.
Remember that bit?
Yes.
That's product placement for ice skates isn't
it and getting your teeth knocked out correct you having trouble buddy doing it wait i can't think
of anything great job what require you to have what would be what would be detrimental having
too many teeth uh crowded mouth yep you having trouble fitting 10 crazy straws in your mouth
pull some teeth out.
Do you remember E.T., the Reese's Pieces?
Yeah, sort of.
We never really got Reese's. We don't have them.
We get the Reese's Cups now.
But that's a relatively recent thing.
It is, yeah.
They're still in the international section of the supermarket.
Yes, they are.
That's weird.
So they're like peanut butter.
They're peanut butter covered in chocolate.
In my opinion, there's too much peanut butter
oh really
in the world
yes
you would get rid of it
or would you replace it with
acid
yeah acid
yeah
great
yeah no
because that was
wasn't there a big thing
where they weren't
for that E.T. movie
for that
the only E.T. movie
where it was
it's a sequel
that's a novel
yeah well
they were talking about
making a sequel back
on his home world or something.
Yeah, I think that's what it is.
I've seen it.
I've never read it.
I think there's a sequel game.
Nice.
I think it's on PS2 or something.
Nice.
He's probably a secret character in Mortal Kombat X.
Probably.
But he's...
What is it?
I think it was going to be M&M's or whatever.
It was like a whole thing at the time or whatever.
I don't remember.
That's as much as I know about that.
Fantastic.
But you know Mac and Me,
which is like the AT knockoff.
That was a McDonald's.
Yeah, well, I think it was
partially paid for by McDonald's
and also there's a dance sequence
in a McDonald's with Ronald McDonald.
Nice.
What happened to Ronald McDonald?
The real Ronald McDonald?
Well, they swap him out every ad
so that kids don't get attached to anyone.
No, but I mean the real Ronald McDonald.
Oh, yeah, no, the real
child molester Ronald McDonald.
Precisely.
Yeah. Oh, man. David, I used John Lester Ronald McDonald. Precisely. Yeah.
Oh, man.
David, I used to work at McDonald's.
Mason, you remember that?
Yeah, I remember.
I was there at the time when that movie came out,
The Guy Who Ate All The McDonald's.
Supersized me.
And nearly died.
I wish it was called The Guy Who Ate All The McDonald's.
And that's how he was referred to.
Like, every time he does a new thing, he's like, Hey, it's me, The Guy Who Ate All The McDonald's. And that's how he was referred to. Like, every time he does a new thing,
he's like, hey, it's me,
the guy who ate all the McDonald's.
I remember, though,
they went into panic mode
and there were a lot of people
like I worked with
who were in denial about it.
They're kind of like,
isn't it ridiculous?
Well, I mean, come on,
it's a bit much.
Oh, like your manager,
like your store manager, right?
And they're like,
do you think it's a bit much?
And I'm like, first of all,
I don't care.
Like, I'm there to flip burgers, right? Right, uh-huh. But I just... And steal stuff. And they're like, do you think it's a bit much? And I'm like, first of all, I don't care. Like, I'm there to flip burgers, right?
Right, uh-huh.
But I just...
And steal stuff.
And steal stuff.
No, I'm not a steely, worky guy.
Okay.
A thief.
A thief, that's right.
A steely, worky guy.
But it was kind of like, yeah, that's what would happen.
This is what we're doing here.
We're not curing cancer.
We're giving people terrible food.
Giving people cancer, if anything. that's right yeah yeah uh i remember there's a bit jurassic
there's a lot of mercedes in jurassic world there's a bit where chris pratt chris pratt
drinks a bottle of coke uh-huh i remember oh yeah that's right no not you look like that
you haven't had a coke in four years exactly that's right no sugar no carbs for
that guy exactly he's got some abs you better believe that's right that yeah i remember that
that really and it really lingered anytime it really lingers or there's a pace happening and
then the product placement destroys the pace we talked about this before yeah there's an episode
of bones this happened it was a few shows they decided to
I think it was Volkswagen
decided that they were
going to promote
their like automated
parking assist
in a lot of shows
right yeah
and so there were
like there was like
a couple of months
where there was a scene
in like you'd be
watching your favourite
TV show Bones
starring angels
David Boreanaz
and Bones
and Bones
where they're like
we've got to go we're going to solve
this murder there's no time to lose and then they get in their car and they get to the destination
and there's a pause and then one of the characters like what are you doing your hands out on the
steering wheel they're like well i don't have to because the volkswagen's painted in parking
assist i just have to set the thing and there's a sonar and the blah blah blah and then there's like a full minute which in in an in like a 38 minute show in a whodunit murder mystery action procedural a full minute
of somebody like letting their hands off the wheel of a car as it's slowly like and they're like oh
that's so smooth and safe as they look amazed yeah that's a long time awful yeah that's that
is absolutely i don't know who okayed that or who thought that would work.
Yeah.
But that is absolutely the worst way to do that.
I will buy...
That being said, I would love to have one of those cars.
No, see, I would buy one when it's fully automated.
I can park a car.
Sure.
That's not a problem.
But you don't want to park a car.
No, I want to...
You know, I'll reverse park a car.
I'm better at reverse parking than I am forward parking.
But when a car can fully drive itself, that's when I'm on board.
I'm not buying some half-assed car that can half-drive itself.
It's ridiculous.
It's like buying half a horse.
Wait, which half?
The front, I guess.
Yeah, the front half.
Yeah, exactly.
It can still sort of get where it's going.
It can drag itself.
It can drag itself.
It can leave some entrails behind. Yeah, you front half. Yeah, exactly. It can still sort of get where it's going. It can drag itself. It can drag itself. It can leave some entrails behind.
Yeah, you're right.
You mentioned this in our Mission Impossible episode,
and I don't know for what company it is,
but a lot of the plot for Mission Impossible 2
is around a digital camera with a postage stamp-sized screen.
That's right.
Do you remember anything about that in particular?
Not really, no.
But they're pausing to look at it, aren't they, then?
Yeah. Bond, again, once again, Bond, there's a scene in Quantum of Solace
where he has to identify all the various members of Quantum,
the evil terrorist organisation of Solace,
and he uses his Sony Xperia or whatever,
and he's like, oh, I'm getting the clearest photos ever.
This is amazing.
Haven't you got a button that's a camera or whatever?
Exactly.
Or an easy, yeah.
Well, that's also with Mission Impossible.
In the first movie, they wear glasses that take video.
Yeah, right.
Like real-time video.
Exactly.
And then the second one, he's holding a little digital camera up.
The point, like, Bond, it shouldn't require a thing
where he has to get out his mobile phone.
No.
You know what I mean?
He's all about, give him like a, go back old school,
like he's got a gigantic box brownie camera covered in leatherette.
Like it's very British.
It's all made of brass.
I was speaking about Mission Impossible and Mr. Cruise generally.
Sticky gloves?
You know what he does in apparently in in terms of product
placement he saves like models of sunglasses like if he wears a pair of sunglasses in a movie
yeah they get a massive sales bump like a risky business like he wore the wayfarers
they sold like 400 000 pairs of wayfarers after the movie came out because they're like and then
in top gun he wears the aviators
and then aviators
are cool
and then he had like
a 40% increase
or something like that
not as good as
why doesn't he do it
anymore
because he's creepy
yeah because yes
he's real creepy
he still wears them
though to hide his
dead lizard eyes
exactly right
exactly
because if you look
into his eyes long
enough
you'll fall in love
with him
you'll fall in love
with him or steal
his soul
if you're a woman
you'll fall in love with him and he has no control over that.
But if you're a man, you'll steal his soul and he can't have that.
Not again.
Do you remember the movie Evolution?
Yeah, David Duchovny, Orlando Jones, Sean William Scott.
It was kind of a spiritual sequel to Ghostbusters.
A lot of the original Ghostbusters people were involved in that.
I think it was
a Harold Ramis film
might have been
a Harold Ramis film
but they kill
the alien monster
with head and shoulders
oh that's right
and then at the end
there's an actual
head and shoulders
ad
and that's the
kind of situation
where that's an
owning it
where I'm okay
with it
it's like yeah
okay
I mean I don't
think it's a great
movie but
they've stepped up
to it
head and shoulders
have clearly
approached them and they went alright we'll just say that it's got some sodium, but they've stepped up to it. Head and shoulders have clearly approached them and they went,
all right, we'll just say that it's got some sodium whatever in it
that it could destroy a big alien.
That feels like something that could backfire.
Right.
Where people would be like, well, I'm not putting that on my head.
No, because it kills monsters.
I mean, aren't we all monsters in a way?
I've done some terrible things in my life.
In a way, I feel like a monster, so I'm what i'm saying is i'm keeping the dandruff yeah what i'm saying is they're gonna lose the
demographic of like serial killers who have dandruff oh right yeah so a lot of serial killers
would have dandruff i'd imagine yeah uh but you remember the truman show makes an effort to make
product placement weird so well in the, like his wife is like,
check out this coffee, isn't it great?
And initially he's just like, okay.
And then when he starts breaking down, she tries it and he's like,
who are you talking to?
What's going on?
I think that's a really good use of it as well, actually.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He did get out in the end, didn't he?
Or did he?
What if it was a Truman Show inside a Truman Show? You'd always think that, wouldn't you? You've just blown my mind. You've just blown your mind, didn't he? Or did he? What if it was a Truman Show inside a Truman Show?
You'd always think that,
wouldn't you?
You've just blown my mind.
You've just blown your mind,
haven't I?
You've blown my mind, yeah.
It's like a matrix in a matrix.
There's a lot of Dr. Pepper
in Forrest Gump.
I have no memory of that.
Mr. P,
when he's meeting the president
because he drinks like 15 Dr. Peppers.
Well, that's, again,
that is a sales impediment,
if anything.
You pee too much.
You pee too much if You pee too much.
If you're going to meet the president, don't drink Dr. Pepper.
I used to love Dr. Pepper when I was a kid, and then they took it away.
I've had one Dr. Pepper in my life.
Yeah, and I had it relatively recently.
I was given it to me free at a train station.
Yes, that's how I felt.
And I'm like, not for me.
Yeah.
I'll try it again.
I'll try it again tonight.
It's no good.
I don't.
Why did you drink it so often?
No, no.
As a kid, I did.
Like I get it like once a week or whatever.
What does it taste like?
People say like cough syrup and that, but I don't know whether it does.
It's like a cherry Coke, I guess.
Okay.
But I had one recently-ish and I'm like, oh, this is no good.
But there's also Nike in Forrest Gump.
There's also Apple stocks.
Like he buys.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah.
Some fruit company or something.
Yeah.
And then it turns out to be Apple.
And a shrimp, like it's a real shrimp company.
Yeah.
And it's a real shrimp restaurant.
And there's also Nike's in Back to the Future.
Which is the coolest thing ever.
He has the Nike...
Well, he is self-lacing Nike shoes in Back to the Future 2.
Yes.
Which they...
What Nike does for some...
Despite the fact that they would sell a million pairs
if they released them,
what they do is they make like 10 pairs.
They call it the Nike mag.
They release like 10 pairs a year
and they sell them off for charity,
which I guess is a nice thing to do.
It's nice to get Michael J. Fox up there
and sell these shoes for charity
and everybody has a...
But give me a Nike mag.
I'm not paying 20 grand for a pair, all right?
I guess they do it because they've cut off a lot of kids' hands
in third world countries making Nike shoes.
Oh, yeah, they're bad people.
I just remembered, yeah, yeah.
We were talking about refreshing drinks before.
Oh, yeah.
World War Z, there's a bit where Brad Pitt pauses
for a full minute to drink a Pepsi.
Nice.
Remember that?
Yeah.
Weird.
I remember thinking it was quite funny,
but I don't know whether it was supposed to be funny.
Oh, because he's...
No, it's right at the end.
Yeah.
That's fine.
I thought that was fine.
Okay.
Because if he just drank a generic soda,
like imagine he just drank a grey can that had nothing.
It said soda on it.
I'd be like, don't drink that.
It's probably poison.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah.
But it's...
Yeah.
I don't care.
That scene was funny because he he poisons himself
he he infects himself yes to to see if the the virus and whatever and the zombies ignore him
because he's they think he's dead that's right i remember i remember the plots of films yeah you
remember films yeah you remember pepsi's and films uh fight club kind of does it ironically as well
it's like hey your ikea furniture sucked and you're a dickhead and yeah sure dunkin donuts
but you're an idiot see that's that's an interesting question i guess is that if you put in
ikea sucks yeah do you have to pay did ikea get on board with that i wonder can you do it
without like not taking any money i think you can yeah i think you can i'm gonna look that up
actually i think you can but i think if you that's to serve the purpose. I think you can. Yeah. I think you can. I'm going to look that up actually. I think you can,
but I think if you...
That's to serve the purpose of the story.
You can't just go out of your way
to be like,
Coke is poison or whatever.
Yeah, exactly.
But I also think that
it's fair game.
Like if you had an Ikea product,
you can review an Ikea product.
Why not review it in a movie
by saying it's...
That's a good point, yeah.
So...
But I guess if you disparaged it enough, they could sue you.
Right.
Okay.
So, look, I've looked up Fight Club Ikea lawsuit, just in case there is one.
The first one says, Judge blasts Ikea for ignoring order in deadly dresser lawsuit.
I don't think that's related.
What?
I don't know.
Anyway, it's a mystery.
Someone got their hands severed by Ikea.
But I guess a lot of people would say-
You know what?
Fuck Ikea also.
Really? Just give me something that's together. Oh a lot of people would say... You know what? Fuck Ikea also. Really?
Just give me something that's together.
Oh, the speeder symbol.
You know this desk?
I had to go back twice because they didn't have the legs.
Yeah.
So I got what I wanted.
I went there because, you know, you collect it all at the end.
Got to walk through their maze of a store.
Yep.
And then I had to go back for the legs.
Here's the thing, though.
Just give me a desk that's assembled.
Here's the thing.
I know why they do it as well.
So you have to go back?
It was ownership.
So if you build it, you feel like you've got ownership over it.
I don't want to build a cabinet.
Just give me a cabinet.
I like Ikea.
Anyway, what I'm saying is you're allergic to technology.
This is true.
You're bad at technology.
You know this.
You're aware of this
I've given you
like in the past
I've given you
CDs that I've burned
and they're blank
when you get them
I don't understand
how you're able to do it
yes
that's happened
that happened at least once
but what I'm saying is
how is that my fault
if you give me a blank CD
no I'm saying
it had stuff on it
when I gave it
like I tested it
and I gave it to you
and then it was blank
like I'm saying
you can erase
like burn CDs
what I'm saying is that I think your allergy to technology extends to Ikea.
Okay.
I'm saying that would not happen to anyone else but you.
Yeah, you're probably right.
Like what?
I don't even think they deliver.
Yeah, right.
Or they don't hear or they didn't used to.
I just think if I, it annoys me when you buy something and then it turns up and you have
to assemble it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's ridiculous.
Like it's fair enough.
You've got to screw the feet on a bed or whatever.
Like I get it, but.
In Fight Club, Edward Norton, he goes through a Fernie catalog.
It's not an Ikea catalog.
But he does say, cause it's in the book.
He says he's got to, he's become a slave to the Ikea nesting instinct.
So.
Very good.
But I would also think that in a lot of cases,
any publicity is good publicity.
Right, yeah.
Well, I remember seeing that apartment and being like,
that looks pretty nice.
Pretty nice, exactly.
It's like in V for Vendetta when they're like,
it's an oppressive society and it's blah, blah, blah.
I'm like, that's a nice apartment.
Everybody's got a nice TV.
It looks really good.
Everything looks great in there.
Remember when Superman flew through the IHOP?
Yeah.
And the Sears?
Yes.
Yeah.
Pretty good.
Sears is in trouble.
It's going away.
Are they?
Yeah.
Because Superman flew through all the Sears.
Yeah, he flew through all of them.
He was like, oh, I can't just leave the one.
And he just flew through every Sears.
What's IHOP?
That's breakfast.
We don't have it here.
It's the International House of Pancakes.
We don't have it.
So it's just pancakes.
And other stuff.
You can make pancakes at home.
I guess you can make anything at home, can't you?
In a way you can.
I can make a desk at home, Mason.
You can build your own IHOP in your house, but you won't.
But I won't.
Yeah.
What do you think about Blade Runner's giant holographic Atari logos and Coca-Cola signs?
Oh, I hate that.
No, now it's...
Yeah.
Because there were...
You mean Blade runner 2040 all
of it just any of it i don't think there was an atari logo in the i'm sure there was i'm what i'm
saying is that was in the trailer for blade runner 2040 what is it six seven nine 48 2049 yeah there's
a atari logo and i'm like that's that's a weird because i guess it's because it's from that it's
from that era no there is there is atari in the original but it's just like... I guess it's because it's from that... It's from that era.
No, there is Atari in the original,
but it's just in the background.
It's not like a giant holographic robot.
Because Atari hasn't been Atari for like 30 years at this point.
Something like that, yeah.
Since Blade Runner.
Yeah, exactly.
It's just a name and some intellectual property in the logo.
And the Atari Lynx.
That's true.
And the Atari Jaguar. It's just a thing to put on T-shirts and also the Atari Jaguar links that's that's true it's just a and the atari jaguar it's just a
thing to put on t-shirts and also the atari jaguar yes yeah that's true yeah you're right it is yeah
fair enough uh but so yeah i don't know but again it's but i don't i don't know if i like that
because it's just this i although i guess if it's a if it's a future world yeah if blade runner 2049
is a parallel universe where everything's turned to garbage, but also Atari still exists, I guess that's fine.
They're up to the Atari 1 million at this point.
So Fast and Furious do Coronas.
The last time they did.
They didn't.
They replaced it with Coke, right?
Yeah, they did.
And what did they replace it with?
I don't know.
I don't remember.
I can't remember either.
But my favourite bit is
I think it's
was the last one 7
so it was
8
it was 8
so whatever the one
no it was
Fate of the Furious 7
the first
the introduction
of Kurt Russell
goes
hey do you want
a scotch or whatever
and he's like
I'm more of a
corona man
and he's like
bang
and there's like
an ice cold bucket of coronas just under his desk yeah well that's a government
perk yes it is i guess yeah i i kind of i kind of like it in the fast and furious films i think
it's kind of funny yeah uh transformers is obviously renowned for it there's the the
japanese milk or whatever there's the beats pill yeah there's the victoria's secret bus there's a
bud light that he drinks in the street.
There's all the cars.
There's all the cars, which I guess is Fast and Furious as well.
There's the Oreo robot.
Oh, yeah.
There's a Mountain Dew vending machine that turns into a Killamon robot.
Yeah, into a killer, whatever, yeah.
Yeah, they're awful.
Because they're not clever.
They don't even try to hide it.
Yeah, right.
It's just awful.
Yeah, that's my least but also i
it's funny to me seeing it the bit where i watched it today where mark warburg drinks the beer it's
all foamy and he like spits some of it out like it's it doesn't you think it was real beer on set
also it would have been warm because i've never had a budweiser have you ever had a budweiser
not like i would have but not like those, not in a weird shiny blue metallic can.
Also, it's been sitting in a truck.
So it's not cold, is it?
Sure, right.
It's a warm beer that's been on the street.
It's not a box of cigarettes in a Marlborough truck
that you can just smoke all day to your heart's content
because they're always good, always ready to smoke.
Yeah, you're right.
It's been in a truck.
This is a relatively recent...
But I guess if you've got a problem.
Yeah, well, that's right.
You'll drink a warm. Yeah. Kris's been in a truck. This is a relatively recent... But I guess if you've got a problem. Yeah, well, that's right. You'll drink a warm.
Yeah.
Krispy Kreme Power Rangers.
The whole...
Yeah, that was weird.
So weird.
So weird.
Yeah.
Just make it a local donut shop.
Yeah, exactly.
Anytime they...
They keep saying it, which is the weirdest thing.
Yeah, right?
Uh-huh, yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I feel not even Elizabeth Banks, like, being funny around it could save that. Well, she wasn't really funny in that movie. thing. Yeah. I don't know. I feel not even Elizabeth Banks being funny around it could save that.
She wasn't really funny in that movie.
Exactly.
Yeah.
She should have been more cackling, I feel.
Yeah.
Like the original Rita Repulsa.
She could have cackled it up.
Cackled it up.
I only just saw this one again today.
I don't remember this at all.
There's a Hot Wheels toy set in Green Lantern,
and then there's a bit where he saves somebody by making a giant Hot Wheels track in a Hot Wheels car.
Yes, that is true.
That's crazy.
Right?
Yeah.
I would have remembered that if I'd seen that movie more than...
I've seen half of it.
I don't remember how much I've even seen of it.
This is a relatively famous one.
Demolition Man.
Can I think of this?
Yeah, probably.
Three seashells.
Yes.
How do they work?
The three seashells at toilet situation.
How do they work?
Don't know.
What did he wipe his bum with when he left as well?
Because he couldn't work it out.
Did he not wipe his bum?
No, if you remember, he swore a lot and he kept getting fines.
I used those.
And then they printed...
It's a utopian future, but it's not a it's a it's a
utopian future but it's not paperless so okay right yeah he just yeah he just and had the ipad
in it as well some variation on the ipad okay right but the the only there was the fast food
wars and taco bell one that's right so but if you if you live in anywhere other than the u.s
taco bell is owned by a company called yum brands and they also own pizza hut so if you live in anywhere other than the US, Taco Bell is owned by a company called Yum Brands.
And they also own Pizza Hut.
So if you're in any other country in the world, all the Taco Bell logos are replaced with Pizza Hut.
And all the dialogue is dubbed horrendously.
Really?
What did we get?
Did we get Pizza Hut?
We must have because we don't have Taco Bell here.
We have Taco Bill.
We have Taco Bill.
We have this shameless knockoff Taco Bill.
It's a real place. It's a real place.
It's a real place.
Does it still exist?
Yeah, there's a chain.
There's one in my work.
Is it good?
I don't know.
I've never been.
Is it just tacos?
What are they doing?
They do a burrito.
Okay, interesting.
They do a margarita.
They do a margarita.
What?
Like an alcoholic margarita.
Correct.
Yeah.
At a fast food place.
I thought that was a German thing serving beer mcdonald's
or whatever maybe yeah okay but yeah that was a that was really weird we also have hungry jacks
instead of burger king if anybody else is wondering there was a guy in like queensland
who owned a company yeah a burger place called the burger king and then they couldn't use it so
there's a there's thousands of restaurants in australia called hungry jacks but it's actually
burger king it's actually good yeah i did it because i did a contract law no sorry marketing law subject where we get it
you've got a lot of degrees i've been to many places mason i know a lot of i don't remember
anything i've ever done yeah it's like you couldn't yeah you give me a million dollars to
anyway uh well that's that's perfect marketing you clearly you've learned give me a million
dollars give me a million dollars. Give me a million dollars.
I've got some movies here that are built around brands.
Okay.
So you've got like your G.I.
Joe's, your Dungeons and Dragons, your Cluedo, where it's like a toy product.
Oh, I see.
Right, right.
Okay.
I was going to say.
But I'm talking like Harold and Kumar go to White Castle.
White Castle, yeah.
Are they really that good, those burgers?
They're teeny tiny.
Are they?
Yeah.
But that's better.
I'd rather a teeny tiny good burger than a giant pile of shit.
Sure, right. Is that just me? No, you're not wrong maybe i'm old-fashioned that way the wizard is a nintendo power glove super mario 3 ad i remember that review where they go the guy goes super mario
3 and everybody cheers wildly did you know that at the time that what it was going to be going
did you see it at the cinema yes all right All right. So did that blow your mind?
No, I don't think I was even into Nintendo that much at the time.
Okay.
So who cares? It's very confusing.
And there was that kid who was super good at games.
Yeah, it's a bad movie.
It is a bad movie.
It's real bad.
So I guess Super Mario Brothers movie kind of,'s a there's a Nintendo scope
is in it
oh it is too
no look
it's not the same
I feel
if anything
that is anti-product placement
that is anti
if you wanted somebody
to not buy
a Nintendo product
if somebody was like
man I'm thinking about
buying that Nintendo Switch
yeah
and you showed them
Super Mario Brothers
and said this is
Nintendo produced this
they'd be like nah
well they've never
made a movie since.
So, yeah.
That Google one with Vince Vaughn.
Oh, let's all work at Google.
It's like a really unfunny, boring version of Silicon Valley.
Nice.
It's horrible.
It's really good.
Yeah.
The Emoji Movie, I guess.
Is Emoji a product?
Do you know what I mean?
Like, who owns Emojis? Somebody must own Emojis. They have to, yeah. Sony, I guess, But is emoji a product? Do you know what I mean? Like, who owns emojis?
Somebody must own emojis.
They have to, yeah.
Sony, I guess, because they made it.
Yeah, maybe.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I'm going to Google that.
I'm going to Google who owns emojis.
I bet it's a German company.
Probably.
It's probably that German company who owned the MP3.
Ah.
Gunter Moji.
Yeah, Gunter Moji.
Got to buy it.
Number one, like, topic in google was who owns poop emoji
it says who owns poop emoji or emoji by protect by copyright here we go let's talk about something
else maybe you can own specific emojis right so like apple own uh-huh the whatever emoji and the
yeah i like sending just i like signing off a message with just an emoji
that doesn't make sense in the context of the conversation.
Apple and other producers of digital devices
either create, buy, or license the fonts.
No, that's not it.
The emoji that appear on your iPhone or Android keyboard
are used under the set of a legal arrangement.
It still doesn't say who owns them.
But surely, because they have flags of the world in there.
You can't...
Would you pay a license for that?
Yeah, you would because somebody has made that.
Oh, that particular...
Has drawn that specifically.
But you would think that if you were Apple,
you'd just make a slight variation on the Italian flag.
Oh, sure.
That's probably what they do.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
No answers?
No.
Oh, well, you tried probably what they do. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. No answers? No. Oh, well, you tried.
The internet has no answers.
I got some examples here of kind of movies that I think...
I think there's movies where it's weirder if you don't specifically reference the thing
that you're doing.
Okay, I'm ready.
Okay, so like the social network, it's not a Facebook movie in terms of...
It's not promoting Facebook.
Uh-huh.
But if they had made some generic
if they'd made a book face exactly yeah then my face yeah or face space yeah exactly i think that
that's weird the same with like the the founder which is like the mcdonald's yeah right like it's
not an you know what the weird thing about that is they made it face burger face yeah
or gunter burger the kitchen the kitchen's pretty much the same.
Right.
Like the layout.
You know, it's so-
Like the one from the 60s.
Yeah.
I mean, there's slight variations, but-
There's got to be a desk for all day breakfast.
Yes.
That's right.
If you put that in front of me, I could make a burger.
I dream about it.
Wow.
Still.
It's that in me.
Yeah.
Wow.
That burnt it into my brain. Because I've got a surprise for you. It's that in me. Yeah. That burnt it into my brain.
Because I've got a surprise for you.
It's your old boss.
Yeah.
I've seen, like, I, it's so ingrained with you that once we were watching TV and we saw
there was an ad for some new McDonald's product.
And, like, the beautiful model team who was making the product was like putting
the thing here and thing here and thing here and you went sauce goes on the bottom like they're
wrong sauce goes on the bottom it does go on the bottom when I when I left yes amicably or
explicitly I left I don't think I've ever I know the service station I worked out didn't end well
that wasn't my fault you blew it up
Robocop style
I did yes
no because
at the service station
it was
I got accused
of not doing my work
right
and I'm like
there's like three jobs
you man the till
you mop the floor
yeah
or whatever
and you restack
the newspapers
yeah
you also have
security cameras
so when do you
fucking look at them
and you tell me
whether I'm doing my job
yeah right
yeah but anyway.
McDonald's, when I left, my boss tried to sign me up for a pyramid scheme for the Goja Berry juice.
Like, as I was walking out the door.
He's like, hey, so are you interested?
And I'm like, no.
Yeah, right.
Obviously not.
Yeah.
I'm leaving for a lucrative job in podcasting.
That's what I said.
Yeah.
And that's invented in a decade
So that was very bizarre
Okay, so this is a good example
I think like Rush
Have you ever seen the movie Rush?
It's a Ron Howard film
It's about Formula One
It's got Chris Sarn
No, I've not seen it
Hemsworth
It's really good
They've got all the
Howard and Hemsworth
What a power combination
That's right
They've got
Well, they also did that
Moby Dick one togetheremsworth. What a power combination. That's right. They've got... Well, they also did that Moby Dick one together.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
What a combination.
50% strike rate power combination.
But he...
What was I going to say?
He...
Yeah, I think that...
Because it's set in the 70s or 60s.
I don't even remember.
It works because they've got the aesthetic of...
Yeah, right.
Yeah, I think that's a really good example of kind of using it well.
It'd be weird if it was fake brands or no brands
is what I'm saying.
Yeah.
I think that's all of them.
Got any more?
I was going to close out with Idiocracy.
Okay, sure.
Which in...
Gatorade?
What are they?
Brondo.
What's that?
Gatorade is...
Yeah, Gatorade is in there
because it's got...
They water the plants with it or something?
It's got what plants need
right
but also
in idiocracy
Costco's
are like
city sized
you can like live in a Costco
right okay
which is pretty close
yeah
we don't have those here at all do we
yeah
and
the public
the secretary of state
gives a public address
and it's sponsored by
Carl's Jr
the burger chain is that also Starbucks gives hands jobs i don't know if you recall that it's
been expanded i don't remember that i don't know how they got away with that but is that movie ahead
of its time or is it not or is it no good no it's way ahead of its time but is it actually funny
yeah okay because i remember seeing it not i've seen it a long time seen it in a long time. Yeah. But I remember enjoying it.
Okay.
Yeah.
If anything, it's a little tame.
Right.
Compared to what's going to happen in the next couple of years.
We're all going to die.
Nuclear fire.
Yeah.
That's what's going to happen.
I really don't want to die in a nuclear fire.
Me neither.
I can't stress that enough.
Same.
Also, I'm going to the States in a few weeks.
If you could just not kick off a nuclear war when I'm over there.
That'd be nice.
That'd be great. That'd be great.
Or a race war.
Yeah, whatever.
Just any war.
Any kind of war, yeah.
Maybe a sales war.
Oh, that'd be nice.
That'd be nice, yeah.
Yeah, nice, yeah.
Okay.
Well, you know what it's time for?
Oh, what we read and what we're going to read?
Correct.
Our famous segment?
That's, yeah.
Let's do the thing where I say what we read and...
Yeah, we'll do that.
And then you say what we're going to read.
We did it already. Didn't we? And then we do a theme. Yes. Nice. All right, let's do the thing where I say what we're reading yeah we'll do that and then you say what we're gonna read we did it already
didn't we
and then we do a theme
yes
nice
alright let's do it
I'm doing a theme
what are we reading
today
what are you
oh I watched
look I was on Netflix
watching some more
Rick and Morty
which of course is delightful
when does the when does the episodes come?
Because I don't think they're instant.
Saturdays, I think.
Maybe they're a couple of days behind.
Yeah.
But you can also just still.
They just get put up on Facebook now.
Right, yeah, they do.
Rick and Morty fan pages just put up whole episodes
and nothing happens.
Yeah.
Which is great.
What a great episode.
Pickle Rick.
Pickle Rick.
Fantastic.
Yeah.
That episode has broken people's minds. what a great episode. Pickle Rick. Pickle Rick. Fantastic. Yeah. Yeah. And that's,
that,
that episode is like broken people's mind.
Like,
like reviewers that they're like,
and,
and like cartoon animators who are like,
I can't,
I can't do anything better than this.
Like I've read articles where people are like,
I don't,
I don't know what to do anymore.
So yeah.
To people who are like,
I don't care.
Anyway,
what I was going to say is I watched that and then I was like oh what else is on here
I haven't watched Justice League Dark
so I watched five minutes of that
and I switched it off
was that the relatively recent one?
the animated one
okay right
no good
no good?
no good
it sucks
I mean look
maybe I'll give it another ten minutes
it's not that the concept is bad or the plot is bad
or the characters are bad.
It's just that it's so generic cliched and kind of, you know,
the Justice League are up in their headquarters and they're like,
oh, there's all this magic happening and I think it's the supernatural forces
and Batman's like, whatever, I think it's supernatural forces and Batman's like,
what if, I think it's just crazy people and they're like,
maybe we should check it out, Batman.
He's like,
maybe you should spend some more time on the streets.
It's like that kind of.
Oh, God, okay.
Like, it's all real cliche
and it doesn't look,
and again, this is my bias,
but it doesn't have Kevin Conroy
as the voice of Batman.
It's just,
it's got somebody who's,
I assume, more famous.
I think it's a famous person.
Okay.
And it's got,
and it's got, you know, different voices for Superman think it's a famous person and it's got different voices for
Superman and what have you so I was not on board
I'll give it another 10 minutes
Justice League Dark
Justice League
yeah they're not all winners Mason are they?
some are though
it didn't have any
that's from this year
and like the opening sequence is like
the opening sequence is this the opening sequence is uh this
this woman is driving a she's a rich she's some sort of rich businesswoman and she's driving a
car and she starts hallucinating hallucinating demons right and and she gets out of her car
and she's like i'm a rich businesswoman and like somebody like rear ends her car and she gets out
and she's like um this has caused so much damage to my car, not that I couldn't afford it because I'm rich,
but I'm going to sue you, whatever.
It's like the weirdest.
What is that?
And I know it's a cartoon for children,
but you can write dialogue that sounds like actual people would speak it.
Jason Amara is Batman who was in the,
he's the commander of S.H.I.E.L.D., the invincible guy.
He was in the American version of Life on Mars.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That fella.
Well, he was no good.
Just to be clear,
I like him in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
We got him.
And also Matt Ryan is Constantine
who played him in the live action.
That show that, again,
I got maybe half an hour into the first episode
and never watched again.
He's crushing it for you, isn't he?
Yeah, he's really 0% strike rate, this guy.
Good on him.
Oh, Jerry O'Connell's Superman.
That's a shame.
And Rosario Dawson's Wonder Woman, but they can all go to hell, quite frankly.
Dying a ditch.
They can all die in a ditch.
I read the K2SO Origin one-shot comic.
Oh, yeah?
It was alright.
And this is Alan Tudyk's character in Rogue One.
Yes.
How'd it go?
It's not bad.
Is it funny? It's not bad. Okay.
Is it funny?
It's funny.
Does he start out snarky?
Yeah, a little bit.
Really?
There's also just a switch on him that you can just kind of switch him off.
I'll snark on or off.
Yeah.
No, I mean just to kind of reprogram him.
It's just kind of weird where it's that easy.
You wouldn't put a panel over it.
I know.
You really would.
Yeah, right.
Exactly.
Mason, you know we like to promote other shows here sometimes.
We do. That's true. I mean, our greatest fear is that one of them will grow bigger than us and destroy us. Oh, yeah, right. Exactly. Mason, you know we like to promote other shows here sometimes. We do, that's true.
I mean, our greatest fear is that one of them will grow bigger than us
and destroy us and engulf us.
Yeah.
But we'll open the door here and we're just being surrounded
by the members of Dragon Friends and they beat us with sticks.
Yeah, no, I tried to think of one with enough members
to beat us with sticks.
Yeah, absolutely.
It's Dragon Friends.
I think most of them could probably beat us up
oh yeah especially
if they had sticks
yeah yeah
so Two in the Think Tank
is a show that you've been on
I have been on
is that the one we decided to do
I think it was wasn't it
yeah
we thought we'd drop them
into what we're reading
kind of you know
every now and then
maybe every week
who knows
drop in a clip
and say
you've been on it
explain it Mason
so it's two friends of mine
comedians Andy Matthews
and Alistair Trombley-Virtual
very funny fellas Very funny fellas.
Very funny fellas.
They both write on the Sean McAuliffe show, Mad as Hell.
Which is a very funny show.
Very funny show.
They have a podcast where every week they attempt to come up with five sketch ideas
or more if the first five aren't very good, which was the case on my episode.
We came up with like 12 sketch ideas.
Right, right.
But yeah, they're super funny guys.
And it's always, it's a wild ride
it really is
and they don't really
go in with anything
but it's
yeah that's true
it's crazy
and it's also a real
insight in kind of
because they are
they do this professionally
yeah
just the way
that they kind of
flesh out an idea
where they kind of
bounce off each other
bounce back and forth
it's great
it's really great
so what I'm going to do
I'll put in a short clip here
it's about sausages nice Daniel Craig yeah I'll put in a short clip here.
It's about sausages.
Nice.
Daniel Craig.
Yeah. Little sausage man in a suit.
Love it.
I love it.
Is there anything else that we could be putting in sausages other than meat?
Just a sausage full of cream.
But would people use it for sex?
I don't know, Alistair.
But also, you don't have sex with it in the way that you're picturing you would have sex with a sausage.
You would have sex with it in the way that you're picturing you would have okay okay so on you would have sex with it in the way you would have sex with a person well i have the sex with people
in the way that i have sex with a sausage imagine going to the supermarket and buying a single
sausage yeah you wouldn't be carrying it out without smirking but what about other things
that could come in sausages like i don't want to say inspirational quotes. By the way, this is our 80th
episode. I feel like that's momentous in some way.
That's very impressive. What's interesting about the
number 80 is that if you hold it on
the side, it kind of looks like two
eyes and an open mouth, sort
of ready to eat a sausage.
Alright,
thank you guys so much. Wait, no, I think we've got to come
up with an idea, maybe with a sausage
in it.
Thank you so so much. No, I think we've got to come up with an idea, maybe with a sausage in it. Thank you so much, everybody.
Well, I hope everybody enjoyed that.
I know I did.
Me too.
We didn't hear it just now.
You probably listened to it when you put it in.
I'll never listen to it, but I will have listened to the episode.
You would have heard it anyway.
Because I've heard every episode of the bloody episode.
I'll link them below.
I guess maybe if you want an intro, start with Mason's one, I guess, if you want a smooth entry.
But you can literally pick any episode.
That's true, yeah.
And we're going to have one of them on in the next few months.
Oh, yeah, we totally should.
That'd be great.
It'll be after I come back, I assume.
I don't know if it's the episode title, but there's one quite early on,
my favourite sketch ever.
Because the idea was that if you want to make one of their sketches,
sort of go right ahead, like if you think of the idea.
But they had an episode where one of the sketches
was called Under a Restaurant.
And it's an unfilmable sketch about a police-themed restaurant,
which by nature of the fact that it's called Under a Restaurant
has to also exist underneath another restaurant.
It's great.
Anyway.
See?
Just talking about it.
That's very good.
Just the name of it's fun.
Anyway.
I could never think of something that clever.
I could spend a year and I wouldn't think of something as good as that.
Anyway, it's pretty fun.
Either listen to my episode or that episode, I don't care.
Yeah, I'll lick it.
I'll lick it all the way.
And again, for me, it's a...
Again, I moved house quite recently and I just listen to episodes of that.
Yeah, you do.
And it's always moving boxes and it's like, oh man, this show's very funny.
It's very funny, yeah.
So, anyway.
Next segment, mate.
Next segment?
If we could.
We can do it.
It's our letter segment for which we have a thing if you want to reach the show you can hashtag weekly planet pod on twitter where we'll pick
out a few or email it us at email it email to it us get it to us at weeklyplanetport at gmail.com.
You want to start?
I'm just from Josh Shevel.
He said he's just come back
from a stint of Kung Fu training
at the Shaolin Temple in China.
Very good.
And he said listening to us
was the perfect way to unwind
after six to eight hours
of Kung Fu training every day.
Now, initially, I thought that said...
I've been kicked in the head.
Initially, I thought...
Look, I won't lie to you.
I initially was going to read this because I thought it said six to eight hours of listening
to our podcast while doing Kung Fu.
Amazing.
So that's why you read it out.
Yeah, but it's still good.
He wants to ask, do we have any martial arts experience or secret dreams of taking up a
martial art?
I've always wanted to, but I never have.
Yeah.
I haven't been to fight in a long time so i'd probably get
killed sure yeah that's often my fear is being killed in the fight i did jujitsu for a few months
yeah but it was like it was like daytime and initially i had like heaps of time to go there
but then my schedule moved around and i didn't have any more time and so like i would i slowly
lost all the things that i it's like learning another language right yeah yeah you did that
relatively recently yeah i think it's recently i could language. Right, yeah, yeah. You did that relatively recently.
Yeah, that was quite recently.
I can still choke out a man.
Yeah, sure.
I can still do it.
Yeah, it's just the confidence.
I think we talked about this
on like an early show.
Yeah.
Only one of these shows.
Yeah, sorry, go on, yeah.
But yeah, it's like learning a language
because if you don't use it,
you know, you lose it, obviously.
You snooze it.
I think I would like to know
just bare minimum
of how to escape a fight.
Just hit a guy in the throat and get in the way.
I don't need to be able to do a roundhouse kick.
There's a thing in jiu-jitsu called a gramby,
which is like a roll on the ground.
You sort of flip it.
It's like one of the most basic things and I can't do it.
A roll on the ground?
You can do a roll on the ground.
I can flail on the ground.
It's not the same thing.
Just a forward roll?
No, it's different.
Like it's a shoulder roll?
Yeah, sort of.
I think I could do that.
Yeah, it's harder than you'd think.
I bet it's as easy as I think.
Yeah, it's real easy.
But I remember initially we started on that,
and I'm like, I don't understand.
Like I can sort of, it doesn't matter.
Anyway.
When was the last time you were like nearly in a fight?
It was a couple of, it was yesterday,
but I'll have to, that's an off-air conversation.
Okay, really? I'll say, yeah. I an off-air conversation. Okay.
Really?
Yeah.
I had a relatively recent one as well. Oh, really?
Which we've talked about.
They do it in the park.
Yeah.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, I also find martial arts is like being a magician, like a magic trick.
Yeah.
Where you see somebody do it and you're like, oh, that's amazing.
I'd love to learn how to do that.
And then you realize it's literally hours of training.
Yes.
And then you're like
i don't want to enough no i really don't that's it like you somebody makes a thing a coin appear
out of nowhere and you're like that's amazing then you're like oh it involves hours of in
in front of a mirror just doing this yeah this i don't care anymore yeah that's exactly just give
me a little thing that i can put on my wrist and i push a button and fire comes out that's all i
want that's all you want yeah i don't know i don yeah. I don't know. I don't. Fighting's no good.
If you ever see a fight, it's never good.
It's just scrappy and one guy gets his shirt pulled over his head
and it's just, yeah, it's never classy, basically.
It could be classier.
I've got a tweet here.
I'm ready.
From Jeff Forehand.
He's a very-
Is he a tennis player?
Yeah, he is, yes.
Does he have an arch nemesis called Johnny Backhand?
I believe so, yes.
Oh, okay.
Reach out to us, Jeff, if you do.
Do you think Sam Jackson will be de-aged at all through Captain Marvel?
Is the technology good enough to do it for a whole movie?
How much de-aging do you got to put on Sam Jackson?
Because he still looks pretty good.
He looks mostly the same.
Yeah, right?
I think you could just, if you keep his head shaved.
Yes.
And just give him two eyes and maybe no beard, he'd probably just look young enough.
I think they might do it.
I think they might get him from like, what's an early Sam Jackson movie?
Pre-pop.
Jurassic Park.
Jurassic Park, yeah.
He was in Coming to America.
Yeah, maybe they just get his Coming to America face and they put him on him like Ant-Man
style.
Okay.
You know what I mean?
Would you, maybe they give him hair?
Oh yeah, maybe.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Do any very, give him a flat top.
It's the 90s.
You know, speaking of what we were reading from earlier.
Sure.
Apparently the new Nick Fury series is very good.
I'm going to get back, get into that.
There's like big, cause in.
Wasn't he trapped on the moon? No, this is, this is nick fury jr oh right okay so sam jackson nick
fury basically yes so uh it's like in in the 60s there was nick fury agents of shield with
with old nick fury and it was like the artist was a guy called jim staranko and there's all
these weird psychedelic visuals and they've kind of it looked looked, there's these really big, crazy psychedelic splash pages
in this new version.
So I think they've kind of like,
they've taken the art style
and they're like,
let's do a little homage.
Yeah, yeah.
Looks real good.
I'm going to get into it.
Interesting.
Looks real good.
Did you know that-
And then I'm going to learn Kung Fu.
Wow.
And I'm going to kick the ass
of all of our listeners.
If I did martial arts,
I'd have to give up going to the gym.
Like, I can't do both.
Yeah.
Would you need to do both?
I don't think I couldn't win.
Anybody with any slight training, even a guy who's my size, could beat me up.
It's true.
Dustin McMillan says,
Remember when 2000s movies had really long intro title sequences?
Yes.
I think Spider-Man started it.
Just going through DNA and webs and whatever.
They really did that for a long time, didn't they?
Yeah.
I hate it.
Get on with it.
Yeah.
X-Men did it, going through DNA.
Blade probably did it it going through blood.
I don't know.
Yeah, no, absolutely, yeah.
But I don't miss it.
Or garlic cloves.
Like it was a spooky journey through like a patch of garlic,
like a farm with a field of garlic cloves.
I remember them being like four minutes long.
So long.
X-Men, ugh. X-Men.
X-Men still do it?
Yeah, I think they kind of do.
Not as badly.
Not as bad, yeah.
Anyway, I think that's the show, Mason. We did it.
What do you think?
I think it is the show.
You're correct.
Good.
Do you want to do the end of the show?
Oh, yeah.

Next week, what's next?
Oh, Defenders. We'll talk about some Defenders stuff.
There's only eight episodes, so we'll do spoilers and non-spoilers or whatever, but we'll try
and bloody bang that out, Mason.
I can't believe they're only doing eight.
I'm so happy.
I think this is going to be my last Marvel Netflix.
I feel maybe that's not going to be enough for me.
We'll see, won't we?
That's only two episodes apiece per Defender.
You know what I mean? That's fine. Oh, I don't know. Well, a movie's only two hours long, isn't it? That's only two episodes apiece per Defender. You know what I mean?
That's fine.
Oh, I don't know.
Well, a movie's only two hours long, isn't it?
How many people are in a movie?
Sometimes only a couple of people.
That's true, actually.
Yeah, isn't it?
It's all...
Like that Ryan Reynolds movie, Buried.
I was just thinking the Ryan Reynolds movie, Buried.
I went phone booth and then the Ryan Reynolds movie, Buried.
I was also thinking of the Blake Lively Shark movie.
Oh, aren't they married?
Yes, they are
wow
they both like
being trapped in
small enclosed areas
or very large open
spaces with sharks
correct
