One woman has a secret, the other a mission to reveal it before thousands of lives are lost. FX's The Veil, starring Elizabeth Moss, is now streaming on Disney+. This podcast is part of the Planet Broadcasting Network. Visit planetbroadcasting.com for more podcasts from our great mates. Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of The Weekly Planet where we talk movies and comics and TV shows. My name is James, also known as Mr. Sunday.

With me as always is my co-host Nick Mason. I'm here. You are here. It's late night. It's late night podcasting. Anything can happen. I've just watched a scary movie. Was it spooky enough for you?

It was pretty spooky. Okay, good. No, it wasn't spooky. Tense? It was tense. I didn't feel spooky. Yeah, good. Or ooky. Or dooky? The Green Day album? I didn't feel do. I didn't feel spooky. Yeah, good. Or ooky.

Or dooky? The Green Day album? I didn't feel dooky at all, no. Okay, good. In fact, the movie was very noticeable for its absence of dooky, the album. Yeah, okay, good. Have you heard any Green Day recently? No.

My last one I heard was American Idiot. Yeah, imagine that. Yeah. But they play it in Kmart. Wow. Imagine homeopathic Green Day. Oh, that sounds really good. Imagine the Dookie album and they've filtered it through 1,000 layers of water.

So it's garbled? Yeah, it's very, no, it's just, oh my goodness. There's a song called Revolution Radio. Right. And it's just, oof. Is it better than 21 Guns or whatever it is from Transformers 2? I would assume so. Okay, great.

Good. Excellent. What were we talking about? I've forgotten. I don't know, Dookie. But just before we get into the show. Oh, that's right. I was going to say, your definition of spooky.

Yeah. I think spooky needs to include skeletons. Yes. 100% of the time. Pumpkins. Yep. I mean, scary pumpkins, obviously. A man under a sheet.

No, that's sexy. Oh, yeah. Good point. It's really, yeah. A witch with a pointed hat. That's spooky. Sometimes it can be sexy. Yeah.

Depending on where you get your costumes. That's true. Okay, I will tell you what. Throughout the course of this episode, I will draw a Venn diagram. Good, good. Just quickly up top, I did my Facebook Q&A on the Planet Broadcasting Great Mates page. On Facebook, yes. The other day on Thursday.

Great, how'd that go? Yeah, I thought it was fun. It was, I mean, it's kind of weird because it's like a one-sided conversation sort of. So weird. And the questions fly thick and fast. They do. And I was back because the chat was stalling and then starting, so I was kind of back and forth.

But it was about an hour and a half or so, I think. Way cool, man. Reasonably quick. It's still on the front page if you want to check it out. So is yours from the week before. That's right. And this week will be Jess Perkins. Of the Do Go On podcast.

Yeah. And then after that, Adam Knox. Oh, no. No, he's good. It'll be very entertaining, I think. Yeah, absolutely. You should check that out. Definitely.

So I'll link that below. Also, we're doing our live show next week in Melbourne. That's good. It'll be very entertaining, I think. Yeah, absolutely. You should check that out. Definitely. So I'll link that below. Also, we're doing our live show next week in Melbourne. That's right. I thought a good idea might be, if you're attending that live show, because we're going to make it like a condensed version of this show, except worse, because we'll be scared, because we're in front of a crowd.

For sure. And there's no edit points. No edit points. But I thought if you're going to that show, I am. You are. Continue. If people want to email in a question,

weeklyplanetpod.gmail.com, if you're going to be there, and then we can do that. Because I thought maybe we'll get people want to email in a question weeklyplanetpod.gmail.com if you're going to be there and then we can do that because I thought maybe we'll get people up to ask questions but that might just slow everything down that's true we might need another mic

and we're going to do this is going to these are going to be these are going to be unfiltered questions that's right so if you if we say hey this is a question from John

he's in the audience we ask the question and it's a bad question yeah every other member of the audience is going to beat you with a stick. That's correct. So better be good questions. Sticks will be provided at the door.

We're not here to judge you though. So just do whatever you want, but make it good. Also, you and Claire are organizing some special t-shirts. We sure are. For the day, which hopefully get printed in time if people want to purchase. Yeah, if you want to purchase a souvenir tee, that'd be great. We'll probably give away some and a bunch of other stuff. um yeah that'd be good i would love to hear some questions yeah absolutely good good it just means we can pad out our hour if we get stuck absolutely yeah

which we will which we will again there's no edit points yeah if you want to see a man have a half form thought and then trail off yeah well you will my world. And there's no place to edit that out. So, hooray. I just did it then. This could go. Who knows? Okay. So into the news, Mason.

Yes. There's some Infinity War stuff. They showed 30 minutes of footage. There's been a bunch of TV spots. James Gunn has talked about the Soul Stone in relation to his films. We talked about this before the show, but we're probably not going to touch on any of this stuff it's too close yeah it's too close to my heart yeah there was also the russo brothers released that thing on twitter which was like hey don't spoil infinity war yeah that's right anybody if you see it early because

it's only going to be the premiere in la and then i think that's it so so that note is specifically to the people going to the premiere in LA. Do you think it's to some of the actors who can't keep their gosh darn mouth shut? Are you talking about specifically Tom Holland? Yeah, Tom Holland. He's too excited. Yeah, he's so excited.

That's his problem. Yeah. So we'll probably... Yeah, so we'll talk in generalities about it, but we're not going to be talking about where's the last soul stone and who dies and any of that stuff

what we should do is we should just up top every episode up until Infinity War comes out we should just do a bit just a quick check

do we reckon Infinity War is still going to be good currently yes I'm going to say no but I might be changed by my next week Mason it's true

it's an ongoing thing isn't it correct just to be clear I do think it's going to be good I was just being contrarian very good but I might be changed by my next week, Mason. It's true. It's an ongoing thing, isn't it? Yep, correct. Just to be clear, I do think it's going to be good. I was just being contrarian. Very good. That's how you... Hello.

I'm just pretending to type. I don't have anything to... Mate, save it for the live show, all right? All right. Yeah, what do you think about the Russo brothers being like, don't spoil it? Yeah, good. I think it's nice.

I think that works as well. Not for everybody, but some people are pricks, but I think it does on the whole. Yeah being like, don't spoil it. Yeah, good. I think it's nice. I think that works as well. Not for everybody, but some people are pricks, but I think it does on the whole. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, because a lot of stuff does get spoiled. Like before,

I think I talked about this for The Last Jedi. I read a thing, a headline that was like, this is what Luke Skywalker was thinking when Rey handed him his lightsaber.

And then I read the article and it was like, yeah, he just throws it over his shoulder. I'm like, that's not a thought. What are you are you talking about like that's it that's a reveal i want in the when i'm in the movie but did it say luke thinks about throwing the lightsaber over his shoulder and then he doesn't because that's a loophole yeah that's true it is i don't think it was that mason i know we can't talk too much about infinity war we just said the thing that

we weren't going to say a lot about infinity war i know that's why i'm saying but we can't talk too much about Infinity War. We just said the thing that we weren't going to say a lot about Infinity War. I know. That's why I'm saying, but we can talk about Johnny English strikes again or back. He's back again. You're a fan of the Johnny English films. I've never seen a Johnny English film. I've never seen one either. I thought he was more... See, I watched this trailer.

I had assumed beforehand that he was more Mr. Beanie, but he's quite posh, isn't he? Yeah. Has he always been posh? Why are we talking about this? Let's talk about it anyway. I think he was a lower level dude. Like maybe he was the trash guy. Like a middle management or something.

Yeah, and all the agents died or something. So it's a King Ralph situation. Exactly like King Ralph. Yeah. I mean, King Ralph is not as posh, obviously. No, he's the opposite of posh. Johnny English. That should be the tagline.

Johnny English. The antithesis of King Ralph.ph finally and there's no explanation otherwise you didn't see original johnny english with natalie and booglia no you didn't see johnny english reborn with gillian anderson wow yeah that was the second one that's she does a good british accent uh i know people like these films look i but look i i wanted to know a little bit more about Johnny English. Yeah. And so I put it in to my phone. I typed in Johnny.

Yeah. First result, Wikipedia page for Johnny Depp. Yuck. But it says Johnny Depp, Johnny English, Johnny Cash. Johnny Cash third. Johnny Cash is third. To Johnny English. To Johnny English.

But is there a Johnny Cash trilogy of spy films? There is not. See, that's why he's not second. Yeah, I guess that's true. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, are you going to say this? I don't want to.

Are you saying we have to? I don't think so. Is that in our wheelhouse? No. It's Bond. Okay, look. He's a goofy agent, according to the synopsis. I got that.

John Malkovich was in the first one. Okay. Okay. Okay. All right. Yeah. It was also in Transformers 4 or 3. Yeah, exactly. I think this was immediately before he decided to become a clothing designer instead of...

Right, right. Very good. Anything else? No, that'll do. So in this one, all the secret agent's identities are revealed. So Johnny English must be himself again. Terrific. He's back.

I like Rowan Atkinson a lot. Good physical comedy. He's a great writer. Blackadder, Mr. Bean. Johnny English, obviously. Yep. Did he also write some of the young ones? You may have.

I don't actually know that. There's no way of knowing. Did you like the Mr. Bean the movie? No. Or Mr. Bean Goes on Holiday? None of those. I'm not a Mr. Bean guy, really. Really?

No. Okay. I do. I like them. Okay. He's always putting himself in ridiculous situations. That's what it's about. He's putting a chair on top of his little car.

Yeah. So he can go to the football and look over the... I don't know what he does. Good, good. Zack Snyder has been... Oh, is that all we're going to talk about? What do you want? I don't know what he does. Good, good. Zack Snyder has been... Oh, is that all we're going to talk about with Johnny English? What do you want? I don't even know why I put it in.

If you want to keep going, we can keep going. Should we do a Mr Bean episode? Today? Hell no. Now? Remember the one where he explodes a bag of vomit on a plane? Do we go through his bits? Yeah, we go through every one of his bits

and we decide whether or not they still hold up. Okay. I think a lot of vomit on a plane like do we go through his bits yeah we go through every one of his bits and we decide whether or not they still hold up okay i think a lot of it does remember the time he drove his little mini under the under the boom gate uh yep probably good great okay zach snyder has been talking about uh batman superman and justice league and all that kind of thing cool i think because he never kind of got to finish his trilogy of films the way that he intended there's there was news films the way that he intended. There was news that the reason that he left the project was not for family reasons. I mean, there was that, obviously, but he was fired months before. Yeah, right.

So he's taking to the app. Ollie! Ollie, stop licking your paws. I can hear on the bloody mic, mate. It's really distracting. It's really distracting. It's really loud. Hang on. Ollie, come here.

See, I feel some people would find that soothing. Yeah. But most people, disgusting. I don't like it. Okay. It's because she hasn't been for a walk today, and that's my fault because I was hungover. Uh-huh. Yeah.

Why were you hungover, James? Because I went to a party. What kind of party, James? A Gage Bond party. Okay. It was good. And I drank beer. I don't normally drink beer. Uh-huh.

And it's... Oh, she's back on the couch. Okay, I'll keep... She's back at it. All right. There we go. Stay here, dog. Everybody go.

Anyway, he's taken to the social media app Vero. You familiar with that? Is Vero the new Twitter or something or something yeah okay i feel like it's a new it's some sort of new social media app that you they're like hey this is new and it's it's bloody it's it's better than twitter and then it turned out it was it's owned by like a like a dictator or something great dictator's son. That's really cool. Yeah. Yeah. Dog, dog, get, get, get, buddy. God damn it, dog. Sit here.

There we go. But while you're looking that up, he's basically been explaining a bunch of the theories and ideas that were behind his project and that he was kind of working towards in the universe. Do you want me to go through some of these though? Yes. Okay. So you know how he's living on a lake house yes instead of in wayne manor uh it's because his father commissioned the lake house as a gift for his mother okay a place built by her favorite architect and she

loved it and then when bruce turned 18 he moved in he ordered wayne manor to be left to decompose oh okay there you go a bit of backstory there one here. Wait, so doesn't he have a bat cave under it though? Yeah, or near it or whatever. Okay, cool. Something. Or there's a service elevator. I'm not exactly sure. It's really clear, is it?

It's really not. Must be a bat pole. And I mean, it looks very modern. Yeah. So like, did he get like engineers to like modernize the place, but be like, don't go down there. Don't go past that water feature. There's a cave in there.

Here's another one. The maplethorpe above his bed, which is a photographer, apparently, I looked it up, he chose to represent the erotic as a drug that Bruce uses sex to momentarily forget his pain. That's good, isn't it? It's very erotic. Wait, who's he being erotic with? At the start, he's sitting with a lady.

This is some rando. Yeah, he maybe wakes up and he's got a bottle of whiskey and there's a girl lying in the bed. Sort of. He's banging broads because he's cool. Oh, that is cool. You know, and they made Thomas Wayne cool because instead of like heroically dying in an alley,

he gets in a fist fight that gets him shot. Yeah, that's true, yeah. Because it's cool, Mason. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. Because it's cool, Mason. Yeah, that's right. He doesn't die defending his wife from being robbed. He dies in like a daredevil motorcycle accident where he has to drive around a

velodrome that's on fire. You know, like in an Elvis movie. Someone put this theory out there that Darkseid was behind Bruce's nightmare We all This is what this person says Harag Farah says

We all know that Darkseid is a master manipulator And can reach into the minds of his enemies to do his bidding Do we know that? We all know that Mason Bruce would have killed Superman And Darkseid would eventually conquer Earth with little resistance Do you think my theory is far fetched? And Zack Snyder responded

Real Do you think he just went that is that sounds bad yeah exactly there's no way of knowing yeah unless he unless he if he'd said real and then presented like a handwritten note that has been dated from years ago that's like well we're gonna have him we're gonna have dark side handwritten note and he's holding it in a photograph and there's a picture of the newspaper from that week exactly that's what i want yeah yeah but there's also a man who's verifying that he hasn't just saved an old newspaper there's a man there's a man next to him carbon dating the newspaper and going this is today's newspaper for sure and then he's connected to a lie detector yes and there's a policeman monitoring the lie detector and then there's a judge who's

collected evidence to determine that police officer is not corrupt okay the judge is involved in a sex scandal okay i was gonna say the judge on the take yeah the judge is 100 he's being blackmailed okay good so in that scenario you'd be okay with this i guess they seem They seem to have gone to a lot of trouble. So, yeah, I mean, I could sort of see that, I guess. Also said, if someone lost someone close to them,

and this is him talking about Clark Kent and Lois Lane, they might be susceptible to a certain equation and might blame a certain bat for events. I wonder who he's referring to. Yeah, I know.

A certain bat? Like a fruit bat? Yeah. Wow. That too soon Bruce Wayne would know nothing about. But that also flies in the face of Darkseid's thing. Yeah. Because he's saying that that would have happened,

but also that Darkseid put the future in Bruce Wayne's mind, I guess, that it did happen, was potentially going to happen. Well, he's such a master manipulator. We all know that. So he probably prepared for both eventualities. He probably did. And the last one was that the reason Batman had a spear of kryptonite

is because it's a Jesus metaphor. Ugh. Yeah, I know. Ugh. I mean, I understand. So wait, who is he? Is he Pontius Pilate? Or is he just that soldier who spears him?

Yeah, when he spears him and then water pours out of the side of Jesus, if you know the story of that particular, that children's tale. You've ever read that story to a young child? No. I have. I read it every night to my son. Terrific. Basically, I get the metaphor.

And then he gets speared again and again. Till there's no more blood in him And then it's just water for some reason But basically Where's the water from? Humans have an extra organ that's just filled with water It's like a bag of water But I understand the Jesus metaphor

Yeah But it's stupid Oh for sure It doesn't make any sense And he's never done anything jesusy to that point well no there's a lot of jesus imagery in man of steel and you know when he reveals who he is he's in a priest he says it to a priest and whatever and all that kind of stuff but a spear is inherently a stupid weapon to go up against him in at least put the bullet like make kryptonite bullets and

riddle him with the with the machine guns that you hit him with immediately. Remember that? That would work very quickly, actually. That would work instantly. That's over. Yeah. And, boy, you're right, aren't you? Yeah, I am. And I mean, because this is the first time he's ever encountered Kryptonite. There's no reason for him to dodge it or anything.

That's right. He'd just catch them all and then his hand would fall off. Or he wouldn't catch them. They'd pierce his skin. And then he'd die. And then he'd die. And then he'd die. But no, two gas canisters and a spear that you have to get right up close with. But then you can't spear Doomsday with it, can you?

No. You can't do that story. I said this the other day. I like that movie, even though there's so much wrong with it. I'm just like, yeah, free pass. It's fine. Wow. I mean, the universe is fucked, but I much wrong with it i'm just like yeah free pass it's fine wow i mean the universe is fucked but i'm okay with it so odd so odd we'll never escape it either no we keep

coming back it's but when did it come out like 2016 yeah we've been talking about this for more than a year yeah well over two years yeah bloody hell good stuff like the nightmare sequence that looks pretty good me too me too oh man I had fun with it we all did oh yeah

the founder of Vero withheld pay from thousands of immigrant workers and then abandoned them without food, water or electricity in labour camps

cool anyway don't use Vero is it a free app? yeah it's free I'm on board mate yeah nice no I did download it and free i'm on board yeah no i did download it and went nah i hate this yeah delete it okay uh terminator 6 has been moved from july of next year to november of next year is that a bad sign i don't think it matters yeah

i don't think it means anything uh-huh uh that's the this is the this is it this is the last one so if you need to according to who well i mean as in i feel, this is the, this is it. This is the last one. So if you need to, according to who? Well, I mean, as in, I feel like this is the last shot. You really,

like you, you barely, you don't deserve it. Uh, a little franchise called police Academy got seven films. That's a good point actually. Yeah. But I still,

and seven was the best one, which is that mission to Moscow. Did Gutenberg come back for that one? No, I don't think so. I don't think so. Okay. Fair enough. I, uh think so. Okay, fair enough. Well, this one, because it's director of Deadpool, Tim Miller.

He's done a bunch of other cool stuff. That's true. And Linda Hamilton's back. So I'm like, I don't know, man. Yeah. I just don't know. Just don't know. Yeah.

And well, November of next year. Correct. Boy. Unless they cancel it. Boy. Yeah. Gary Whitter, the screenwriter of Rogue One and a bunch of other stuff. He seems like a real cool dude.

Did he reveal some secrets this week? Well, he did, but he also talked about he's rebooting The Last Starfighter. There's a bunch of concept art. The concept art looks very kind of Oblivion with Tom Cruise. Some of it, yes. That's a good movie, man. A lot of white and grey. Yeah, a lot of white and grey. I think it's underrated

but yeah so we're getting I mean shockingly we're getting a last Starfighter reboot I mean the last Starfighter initially

was kind of like shit Star Wars is popular what can we yeah what are we doing and now it's like Guardians of the Galaxy is popular

yeah that's right and also Star Wars is popular and Star Trek is somewhat popular yeah but are you a fan of the original no i don't think so it's okay it's more a flight of the navigator guy sure but that one doesn't have a weird clone boy that made out of gross gel no but it does have a weird eyeball on a tentacle if i recall you are the navigator correct is that the movie is it fred

savage it's a kid who certainly looks like fred savage okay good that kid was a savage You are the Navigator. Correct. Is that the movie? Is it Fred Savage? It's a kid who certainly looks like Fred Savage. Okay, good. That kid was a savage. Yeah, in what sense? Oh, yeah, I'm looking at this. Okay. All right, Gary Whitter.

He looks exactly like a Gary Whitter would. Okay, I'm just going to check who flighted the Navigator. Weren't they going to reboot that as well? I'm sure I heard that. Almost certainly. It's not. It's not. No, it wasn't him.

Okay, then. That's what I thought it was. It's a guy who looks like... Correct. Yeah. Sarah Jessica Parker's in it as well. Oh. You bloody guy. Okay, that's looking pretty good.

Yeah, I like the design. This concept art's looking pretty good. So basically, it's kind of like... If you get good at video games, then you become the... Oh, that's the moment there's an arcade machine in like a kind of very rural area. And it's like at the back of a saloon or something. Is that the movie?

Yeah, it's something like that. And he gets the top score. He's the best. And then a guy... Who's the actor who comes to Earth? Vincent Price, maybe? Okay. And he's really a lizard man.

He's like, do you want to come and shoot spaceships? Do you want to do Star Wars? We're just going to do Star Wars from here on out. Let's just do Star Wars again. The budget's very small, but just use your imagination. There's a big holographic face who's like, da, da, da, da, da. Remember that?

Not really. Yeah, it's good. Anyway, they are rebooting Flight of the Navigator. Great. Yeah. Let me just check that it is Vincent Price. Okay. What was this movie we're talking about called

again? The Last Starfighter? Yes. Okay. It's very late here. And it really is. Are you sure you're not thinking of Vincent D'Onofrio? I might be thinking of Vincent D'Onofrio. Actually, it might not be who I said at all. You're having a great deal of difficulty determining the actors

in B-list movies from decades ago. Are you sure you're okay? Yeah, it's not Vincent Price as far as I know. But that's not about whether or not I'm right or not. Big to differ. Okay, good. Solo will be debuting at the Cannes Film... Did you say debuting?

Debuting. Okay. Debuting? No. Debutante ball. Yes, yes. Good. Alden Ehrenreich is having his debutante ball.

He's a pretty princess. He is. At the Cannes Film Festival on the 15th of May. That's before it's around the 25th of May release date. You may think that's unusual for a Star Wars film. It sounds like a recipe for disaster. It sounds... If they're debuting it then,

they must think it's not entirely terrible. I think they've made it... I... This just... Based on no other evidence, this smells to me like a disaster in the making. It smells to me like they're going to debut it and everyone's going to boo.

Like all the snooty Khan people are going to be like, boo. Yeah, but but not for us so the james khan film festival that's sorry what is that what it is yeah oh yeah for sure yeah like robert redford started yep the other one yeah james khan's yeah exactly is that right yeah that's right yeah good all the screens in the city just play las vegas episodes of las vegas with josh damal yes josh damal very good uh but no but basically uh this isn't the first time a Las Vegas. Episodes of Las Vegas. With Josh Duhamel? Yes, Josh Duhamel. Very good. No, but basically, this isn't the first time a Star Wars film has debuted there.

They also debuted Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. Wow. And they're two of the best films. So if the track record is to be believed. Correct. Then people are going to run a winner. Hoot and cheer. What a weird place to debut Attack of the Clones.

Yeah, right? Not even a Phantom Menace. James Caan a weird place to debut Attack of the Clones. Yeah, right? Not even a Phantom Menace. James Caan is not a fan of Attack of the Clones. No, Phantom Menace was wrapped in secrecy and shit though. That I get.

Yeah, I guess so. But I mean, they all are in a way. The Solo's actually got a new trailer. It should be out by now, but we haven't seen it yet. But I'm doing a trailer

breakdown for it. Like, you wouldn't believe. And let me tell you, it's coming along. It's 100% all of it. Incredible. It's going to be one of the best works. What's the latest you've ever stayed up making a trailer breakdown?

I've stayed up all night before. Okay. Multiple times. But I don't do that anymore because I don't give a shit. People don't mind waiting, I've found. Oh, there you go. It ruins me for days. Well, I was going to gonna say because it feels like

staying up all night to like study for an exam at uni or something like that that's exactly what it feels like yeah though i never used to really do that no i used to give up at about 1 30 yeah because my cut off time who cares how much yeah you know what i mean yeah throw it away that's what i say yeah that's it i only figured this out recently. Oh, not recently. Like towards the end of my university career, how to actually study properly for me. Oh, what's the, what's the number one trick? Well, I, when I read a thing that I don't care about, I may as well just be looking at a wall. Like it's, it's just not, it doesn't go in at all.

Right. Taking notes doesn't work for me. So you have to relate everything back to the graphic calculator game, drug wars. That is correct. Yes. That is how I passed math. You have to break down everything into grams of coke that you're pushing. Correct.

And then you can finally figure it out. That's how they got us to learn. That's true. About weights and measures. Correct. They put it in the form of Drug Wars. Speaking of peddling drugs and crap, they're still peddling those same graphic calculators, aren't they?

Yeah. It's a weird racket. Outrageous. But basically, for me, it's just just I listen to it like I do podcasts. I figured out that if I just record myself just saying the thing that I need to know, I just listen to it again and I just remember it. So there's a hint for people who can't read like me. Good.

Yeah, we've got some more bloody Star Wars news, Mason. I'm ready. Tony Gilroy, he came in and did the Rogue One reshoots. He does a lot of Mission Impossible stuff. He's not like stunts. He doesn't say, not like bike chases and spin kicks. I mean, maybe he does. Maybe he does.

Craft services. Yes. He does spin kicks and sandwiches. That's right. But he was talking about Rogue One, because they hushed up in terms of what happened. The director didn't get fired, but he kind of they hushed up you know in terms of what happened you know the director didn't get fired

but he kind of got pushed aside and yeah right he's opened up about it and he said if you look at Rogue One all the difficulties well he's calling it Rogue

but it sounds weird because then I think about the crocodile giant crocodile movie sure yeah yeah he doesn't know his movie history he certainly doesn't I bet he thinks

Vincent Price is in the Last Starfighter. He would, wouldn't he? Dickhead. Yeah. But all the difficulties, Rogue One, all the confusion of it, all the mess. And in the end, when you get in there, it's all very simple to solve because you just go, well, this is a movie where everyone's going to die because it's about sacrifice. And then he was like, I was never interested in Star Wars, so I had no reverence for it whatsoever.

I was unafraid about that. And they're in such a swamp there was so much terrible terrible trouble that all he could do was improve their position it's like wow he's putting the boot in left right and center yeah it really is incredible i don't care about you i don't care about the thing that you love it was all a mess everybody was doing terrible work and was feeling bad about it i went in and it was so easy to fix it. Correct. I'm the best. Because making it a D- was better than making it an F.

That's what it sounds like he's saying. Yeah. But I would love to see what it was. We never will. Yeah, for sure. I'd love to see that version. Because how bad could it be? I mean, really bad, potentially.

Oh, absolutely. That movie's a bit of a mess as is. You've seen the prequels, haven't you? I still think the last 40 minutes of that movie are quite good. Of Attack of the Clones? Fuck no. That's a terrible movie. Rogue One.

Rogue One, yeah. I liked all of Rogue One. Okay, good on you. Did you like Tarkin? No. Did you like Darth Vader's voice? No. Yeah, there you go.

So shut up. All right, Darth Vader's voice? No. Yeah, there you go. So shut up. Alright, fine. Shutting up now. Also, John Boyega has talked about Star Wars Episode 9. Okay. In terms of what's coming up. Got an hour left on this thing. Remind me to keep an eye on this card.

It runs out. We're in trouble. Okay. He said that he hasn't read this. Wait, what happens if it runs out? It pauses and I don't realize and we keep talking. Okay, sure. I'm going to set an alarm. Do we have exactly one hour? Make it 55 minutes. Okay.

No, put it in an hour. Put it in an hour. I'm setting it. I'm putting it to 55. No, no, because it's an hour five. All right. So put it in an hour. Okay.

But basically, he said he hasn't. Wait, I haven't said it. Jesus, Mason. Have you noticed that app? I'm getting rid of my iPhone. I hate it. It's... When timer ends, what...

Do you want silk? Yeah, silk. That's the default alarm sound. Oh, we don't want the default one. Can you jazz it up a bit? Is there one called jazz? Night owl? That's pretty jazzy.

Nah, too soft. Hillside. Is that a plane flying into a hill? Yeah, that's what it is. Put that one on. What about by the seaside? Nah. Cosmic?

Yeah, do that. Yeah, nice. Late nights. I love it. I can't wait. This is so exciting. All right, start. Here we go.

Sounds like the start. This is like Mission Impossible. Get Gilroy on the line. But basically, yeah, he hasn't read the script. Great. But he spoke to Daisy Ridley and apparently they're back together in the next film. So Ridley's read the script.

I guess so. Or it's been told at the very least by J.J. Abrams, who's making this film. Wait, back together, not romantically. No. But just hanging out. I would more believe that they would get together than finn and rose which was weird it's like a weird kiss yeah it really was like that film a

lot that was very strange just make it finn and poe yeah what are you doing or just just don't have anybody kiss anybody yeah that's right also because it's it's it's bound to result in trouble isn't it yeah that's it and continuity errors. Let me think about this. At the moment, they're like, it's one for one in terms of romantic subplots of Star Wars films. Yeah. So you don't want to, do you want to tip that scale? Yes. Okay, you do.

Do you think, do you think that J.J. Abrams is going to, how is this going to go? Do you think, are you suggesting he's going to re-reboot everything? He's going to mystery box everything that got un-mystery boxed? There's the other theory. This came out from... Not the theory. Simon Pegg said something along the lines of

J.J. Abrams' initial plan was for Rey to have like an actual lineage, which makes me think it was 100% Obi-Wan Kenobi. Everything points to that. Why does Simon Pegg have the inside track?

Because they're mates. All right, all right. They probably watch Space on Blu-ray. I mean, not anymore. After he's betrayed the trust of J.J. Abrams. I think he's putting the word out there. He's doing J.J. Abrams' work. He's protecting the legacy of J.J. Abrams.

So now he's just J.J. Abrams' little minion. Yeah. His little yes man. His little yes man. Well, I've just suddenly lost all respect for Simon Pegg. Wow. I don't believe that. You're a big fan.

I'm a big fan. You like most of his work. Most of his work's pretty good. Yeah. But what do you think about that, though? That, um... That... And then...

It was gonna be... She was gonna be somebody and then she was nobody. I think so. Yeah, absolutely. I really like that she's nobody, though. Me too. Because I know... We talk about that way too much. Opinions are divided. Boy, are they. nobody i think so yeah absolutely i really like that she's nobody though me too because i know

we talked about that way too much opinions are divided boy are they and i understand why people hate it like i get it but i the stuff that i didn't like about the force awakens was the mystery box and i think whatever way you went with it people were going to be a certain amount of people were going to be unhappy about it and i liked that they just went nah just been at all i loved it because that's i just really hate that shit just setting it up for for someone or to figure it out later or for someone else to figure it out now he has to close off this trilogy like i imagine following up episode eight because you they finished the saga it feels like it's over it really does isn't it yeah yeah if every subset even if abrams quit and every subsequent director quit and it stayed in limbo

forever yeah it's finished more or less yeah what what is what a sweet ending it's like 20 people versus the entire first order now oh what imagine what it could be we won't have to but we could but we could i'd be very happy to yeah look he's a good director and creator and writer i think he could definitely pull it off but he's not he's never finished anything i'm trying to think of his like what is he wrapped up impossible three that's a good film but it's like it's just a chapter it's another chapter that's true i mean yeah he doesn't get enough credit for that he saved that franchise like he brought it back like that movie's kind of forgotten but it's it's pretty solid yeah it's got philip seymour

hoffman before he was dead imagine if it was after he was dead though that would have been even more incredible disaster oh or disaster i should say uh yeah what else we got here uh there's a thing about zoe saldana talking about marvel films and how she's been in i don't know i wasn't really going to talk about this but basically that she's spoken to other actors who are like ugh Marvel films and comic book movies

it's not very arty or whatever and she's like shut up like kids love them and it's cool and you can you know

visit them in hospital and like it's inspirational and kids can see heroes and female characters on screen and you know and be

you know see themselves in whoever and whatever just a bit of bloody fun yeah who cares man also those people shut up daniel day lewis are probably just jealous that they're not in a marvel film potentially or they genuinely hate them they could also hate them because they've worked for years on their craft yeah and now they're they

can't get any work because they don't want to be in a marvel yeah shut up daniel day lewis shut up daniel day lewis yeah Put that heel back on my shoe. Correct. So, I know. I thought that was interesting. Also, Ben Affleck, like, called a kid this week who was dying of cancer.

Like, Daniel Day-Lewis is not calling a kid to be like, I'm Abraham Lincoln. You know? It's true. Obviously, both are valid. He's not sharing any milkshakes with the kids in hospital.

Yeah, I get it. Yeah, obviously, both are valid, but I just think there can be both. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. All right, what else we got here? I like this casting a lot, and so do you.

Get ready for it. We'll see. Are you familiar with the boys? I'm ready to be contrary. Good. Are you familiar with the boys? Yes. I'm talking about my boys, all my mates.

You know them all? I'm familiar with your boys. Barry. Joe. Limma. Barra. Lepre. Yes.

You know them all. I know all your boys. Cutters. Yeah. You know them all I know all your boys cutters yeah you know them all don't you yep the one that has no sense of smell Brendan

thank you he's not in the core group he's from a different group yeah a separate group alright alright but you know my boys I know your boys

yeah for sure that's not what this is about okay but basically you mean the boys the comic book series correct what's that about

why don't you tell us it's about uh it's about a team yeah like a mercenary team yeah cia operatives of a sort who whose job it is it's a universe in which there are super hero there are people with superpowers but out of fear that they would sort of become with with training they would become sort of dangerously powerful so there are laws in place so they cannot be trained so there are all these superpowered people out there who are just just untrained flailing about lunatics yeah accidentally killing people yeah exactly and just and and the boys are a military team assigned to kill any of them if they step out of line too far or just smack them about yeah smack them about sure yeah and they're not super powered they're just regular but maladjusted people but they're great yes uh

one of them is clearly simon pegg oh yep but that is that casting has not happened yet no but it will but the i think he's probably too old because I think he's a younger character. Yeah, he's supposed to be the newbie, isn't he? Yeah, yeah. I mean, they should still put him in it. But Carl Urban is going to be playing Billy Butcher, the lead. Okay, that's good.

It's great. Yeah. It's bloody awesome. I'm really looking forward to this. Carl Urban should be in more things. Or less things. I mean, it's up to him. I mean, it depends on his workload.

Work-life balance, family, that sort of thing. Okay, I'm okay with that. So, no, I'm looking forward to that. And speaking of shows that I'm looking forward to, Why the Last Man, his pilot has been ordered by FX. Very good. So, that's finally happening, maybe.

For sure, yeah. So, I've still got to read that. I've got it. I haven't read it yet. I started it and I couldn't get into it, but I've got to. I've got nothing but good things. It is very good. I've read it. I haven't read it yet. Yeah. I started it and I couldn't get into it, but I got to, I've got nothing but good things. It is very good. I've read it.

It's very good. Um, and you know, FX, their, uh, their, uh,

their work's a little bit spotty from time to time, but they did produce Legion. So, and the other one by the guy who wrote Legion, it's sometimes the past and sometimes it's a Fargo. Sometimes the past, sometimes it's the past and sometimes it's Fargo. Sometimes it's the past and sometimes it's Fargo. Yeah, that's right.

You're getting your Fargo. Yes, I am. One more bit of news. The Lord of the Rings TV series is rolling ahead. You can't stop that train, Mason. No, you will not. Get off the track. Put your hands down.

You're not going to stop it. But basically, it's estimated that it's going to cost a billion dollars due to the five season commitment that Amazon had to make, which was part of their deal. They beat out Netflix with a quarter of a billion dollar bid for it. Wow. Allegedly. And the production must start within two years. So it's going to start within two years. That's to be five seasons. It's going to cost about a billion dollars. Is Peter Jackson still involved in this in some way? That was my next thing. There we go.

It may or may not be linked to the Peter Jackson films. They just should. They could use all the sets. They've got racks of damp armor just hanging up in New Zealand. Oh, so much clammy, moldy armor they could use. So many pieces of armor that extras could wear and get dysentery all of a sudden. You best believe it. And they could just use all the old like the the cg models and stuff and miniatures there's a bunch

of miniatures in it and it yeah i i could understand why they wouldn't but it seems they could get cumberbatch to come back and roll around on the floor he'd roll around on the floor for as long as you want him to mason that's right so uh actually the the uh i was gonna say nostalgia chick that's not what she's called anymore there's a whole yeah she's doing a hobbit series um at the moment yes about the production people should watch them it's really interesting about how that all went down um oh in by that you mean the hobbits the yeah not lord of the rings but the the one movie sequel that turned into three. Yes.

Well, it's supposed to be two. Prequel. Yeah. And she's doing three parts, but she's done two already. Great. It's definitely worth watching. Yeah. They should probably link them. When you say you link them, but aren't they just retelling the story again?

No. Oh. They're prequels. Huh. So even before The Hobbit. Oh, this is pre The Hobbit. Even before, or maybe, I don't know. Pre The Silmarillion.

When is that set? Don't know. It's the one I referenced that I have no idea about. Yeah, that's probably a fave, obviously. But no, I don't know. Maybe it's not before The Hobbit, but it is a prequel. So it could even be set in between. Between, yeah.

It's just a series of bilbo having increasingly elaborate birthday lunches so it starts off as a small family affair yep and then it blows out to a fireworks dragon yeah okay okay yeah very good would you watch this i mean they're putting a billion dollars into a mason allegedly yeah i would yeah i think so yeah hmm i mean isn't that amazing that they're putting a billion dollars into something and I'm like

maybe I'd see it yeah I know right yeah I mean I'm not currently it's not on Amazon I'm not currently subscribed to Amazon

video but the button's there on my TV so I guess I'll click it do it yeah but uh

no I I mean Game of Thrones is gonna wrap up next year you know that's true. And they're going to do...

You've got a dragon-shaped hole in yourself. Correct. And they're going to do another prequel series of Game of Thrones or whatever, a couple of them. But there's definitely room for this, you know, so I can see why they're doing it. FX's The Veil explores the surprising and fraught relationship between two women who play a deadly game of truth and lies on the road from Istanbul to Paris and London.

One woman has a secret. The other, a mission to reveal it before thousands of lives are lost. FX's The Veil, starring Elizabeth Moss, is now streaming on Disney+. Good grief, Mason. Did you want to talk about... We weren't going to talk about A Quiet Place this week. Yeah. But then it's getting a lot of bloody buzz, mate.

People are chatting up a storm about it. It's had a $46 million US opening. It's pretty good. It's outpaced both Get Out and Split in terms of opening weekend, which is pretty bloody huge. One of those movies is great, and one of them is... The movie Split. Split. It's fine. It's okay. It's not bad.

But I think that's very interesting that it's doing that well. It's the third film from John Krasinski. Is it really? Yeah, I didn't know that. He'd done some stuff before that. Number one, Jim's prank compilations. Yeah. Number two, Dwight's reaction compilations. Yeah. Number two, Dwight's reaction compilations.

Sure. And all that's great. Wait, what are his other two movies? I don't know. Okay. I can look it up while you're telling us what you think the story was. Ah, goddammit. Yeah.

I was going to ask first, is this based on anything? No. It's an original concept. He wrote it or... Bloody hell. Came up with the core ideas. Never thought I'd see the day. All right, so the plot.

Yeah. Okay, so it's probably 2020-something-ish. Yeah, probably. Good start, Mason. Yep. It's definitely slightly in the future. Yes. And...

Also, okay, I would say, if you don't know anything about this... And you want to see it. Just don't listen to this. Let's do it. We will do non-spoilers and spoilers. Yeah, later we're going to say best movie ever or worst movie ever. Yeah.

But right ahead of time, would you say, if you're looking for something to do, would you watch this movie? Yeah, 100%. I would say watch this movie. Also, it's like 90 minutes. It's risky. Which is great. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's one of the strengths of the film.

So, yeah, if you don't want to know anything about this movie. Yeah. And I'll probably spoil something in the non-spoiler section. of the film so yeah if you don't want to know anything about this movie yeah and I'll probably spoil something in the non-spoiler section or right now yeah maybe don't

we're basically just going to be talking about the the trailer stuff yeah so if you know the premise

and the trailer and the cast that's what we're going to be talking about so it's slightly in the future yes and it seems

society has collapsed on some level yes quite severely yeah and we we are following the fun

light-hearted adventures correct of a family John Krasinski yep Emily Blunt some kids some kids

who are living their life wandering the streets gathering supplies I walk a lonely road the only one that I have ever known there's monsters in the streets, gathering supplies. I walk a lonely road, the only one that I have ever known. There's monsters in the streets, something's happening. My shadow! Sorry, go on.

I've lost my train of thought. All right. How? Well, the powerful tones of Green Day before this last album, they just stir my very soul. They speak to you, just, they, they stir my very soul. They speak to you. I get it. Yeah,

absolutely. Yeah. But anyway, can you move your mic a little closer? Yeah. They walk, they walk the lonely streets. Yes.

But they, and they seem to communicate exclusively in sign language. Correct. But why? Yeah. Why can't they make any noise? Yeah. Why not?

Why is it such a quiet place? Why? That's a good question. And it's monsters is the reason. All right. Are there monsters in the trailer? Yes. Okay.

Good. Yes, there are. Yeah. So something has happened, obviously. Yep. And if you say anything or make a loud, not even a loud noise, just an audible noise. A moderate noise. Yeah.

You're going to get... You're going to get monstered. You're going to get monstered big monster'd You're gonna get monster'd Big time Yeah And they kind of established How dangerous the world is Very early on

They really do Yeah I wish I didn't know The premise for this going in I still enjoyed it a lot I didn't You didn't at all really No

Oh great Because Claire saw it with me And she didn't know anything about it Was she like Yeah she was freaking out The entire She scratched her lip With her wedding ring

Because she was Freaking out so much Yeah She's not a horror movie person but i said well look this is going to be a spooky movie there might be a man under a sheet yep you may find spooky or erotic depending that's correct yes uh but it's from john krasinski who you like and emily blunt who you also like and then she was like okay i, got her. Yeah, bloody got her. Yeah. John Krasinski will hold you in his warm embrace. Don't you worry about that. Yeah.

He looks good, doesn't he? Yeah. He's not a big goofy. I mean, he's still pretty goofy. Yeah, he's pretty goofy. The beard helps though. Kind of cuts the goof. Cuts down on the goof. Shades about 10% of that goof.

Well, if he grew a beard on his nose, it'd cut down the goof significantly more. He can't do that. So he's still a little bit goofy yeah right I have Krasinski syndrome in that regard if I could grow

a beard on my nose I would but I can't you can't cut that goof no that's true yeah so yeah like I said it's 90 minutes

which is we've seen so many movies that are like two and a half hours, 245. But sometimes that works. This gets it done. This gets it done. I feel like if this was another 10, 20 minutes, it's just too much running about.

Yeah, for sure. It was the perfect amount of running about. Yeah. And it also meant that we could do this podcast slightly earlier than I thought we were going to. Because you just came out of it. I sure did. Just now. Yeah.

slightly earlier than I thought we were going to, because you just came out of it. I sure did. Just now. Yeah. I also think if you are going to say this, go to a cinema where people aren't total dickheads because they will ruin this film with noise. Cause a lot of it is,

it's mostly silent. And when my movie started, all I could do was like, just idiots, like opening packets and whatever. Oh, I sat down and watched this movie and about 20 minutes in, the doors opened behind and two people walked in,

like two middle-aged ladies. And they went, oh, you said it started at 9 p.m. And I'm like, all right, pretty good. Also, you're 20 minutes late. Fuck off. They didn't say effing though. Okay. They didn't? effing though okay they did they were much ruder they were ruder than middle-aged ladies should be but that's that's too late yeah

for sure leave just give up yeah uh so yeah so i had a pretty good like after that it was pretty quiet but i've heard experiences of people are like i wish this was at home where i could just watch it in a dark room by myself you think could this have been a netflix yeah definitely i mean i think it's it would be better in a cinema if it was quiet if it was a quiet place but yeah what really worked for me though was the family dynamic in this like i'm not a horror movie guy neither of us are and this really gets you but you are a family guy. Correct. I'm lucky there is a family guy.

Correct. Very good. But, yeah, that's what works for me. I mean, you can put in the scariest monster in the world, but if you don't care about the people who gives a shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've said this about the movie It Follows. Yes.

Which, in retrospect, is probably a better movie than I gave it credit for. Yeah, right. But that has a great concept. It's probably a better movie than I gave it credit for. Yeah, right. But that has a great concept. But in it, the actors playing the teens are such accurate teens. They're so disaffected. They're so disaffected that I didn't care that any of them were going to be killed by the It Follows monster.

I'm like, who cares? Yeah, that's right. Just get your lives together. But this was very much the opposite of that. Yeah, but they... The concept of the... Like, the actual design of the monster I didn't think was super interesting. It's like a stranger thing.

It's nothing we haven't seen before. Yeah, exactly. But that's not what, that's not the strength of this film for me anyway. Yeah. What is the strength? Family medicine. Jump scares? There are probably a few too many of those, but also.

Did you feel this movie was a little bit Shyamalan-y? Yeah. Yes. It's signs. It's very clearly signs. I haven't seen signs. Okay. We'll talk about it in spoilers. Here's a canonical list of the Shyamalan movies I've seen. Here we go. It's very clearly signs. I haven't seen signs. Okay. We'll talk about it in spoilers.

Here's a canonical list of the Shyamalan movies I've seen. Here we go. Rank them. Six cents. Yep. Unbreakable. Okay. I think that's it.

I'm trying to think. The Village? Haven't seen The Village. Lady in Water. But The Village is the one where it's revealed that it's actually in the modern day, right? Correct. Okay. Haven't seen Lady in the Water.

Is that the one where there's water monsters? I haven't seen it. Okay. There's one where aliens's revealed that it's actually in the modern day, right? Correct. Okay. Haven't seen Lady in the Water. Is that the one where there's water monsters? I haven't seen it. Okay. There's one where aliens are afraid of water. That is Signs. Signs? Okay. I mean, it's not that concept of Signs.

I haven't spoiled the movie. There are some similarities or parallels, which we'll talk about in spoilers. But yeah, so it's not entirely original premise but what is but despite that it still works super effectively I feel

he also did The Visit I'm going to spoil The Visit where their grandparents were really not their grandparents because they'd been murdered or whatever he also did Satan in a Lift no he didn't, he produced Satan in a Lift he did After Earth he did The Last Air lift. He did. No, he didn't. He produced Satan in a lift. He did After Earth. He did The Last Airbender.

He did The Happening. You've seen The Happening where the trees are murdering Mark Wahlberg. No, is that Wahlberg? Yeah. I haven't seen it. It's not good. I haven't seen any of this. Then The Signs Unbreakable Sixth Sense and whatever.

He did Praying with Anger in 1992. Didn't say that. You didn't? Sounds like a Metallica video. Yeah, right. Praying with Anger. Dung, dung, dung, dung. now what it works for you though in it uh i thought it was very effectively tense the whole way through yes uh what i didn't think worked uh oh you know what you have to you have to buy into the premise yeah and don't my my my

feeling is don't think too hard about the premise no because if you do the cracks begin forming i would say almost immediately and a monster will get you yeah absolutely so do you think again it was like the family dynamic that kind of carried you through this then like if it's like a bunch of disaffected teens being torn apart by sound monsters yeah yeah would you have been like i don't know about this uh no i think look if it were just if it were if we're a group of friends or something i think it'd be fine like the cast of friends joey chandler phoebe what if it was the phoebe's twin sister from mad about you i get you the single guy yeah it was an episode of mad about you okay

yeah i hear what you're saying what if it was the cast of joey um like all the people that live at joey's condo yeah joey yep uh his cousin probably probably he's got a sassy sister from brooklyn probably like a like a black guy in a flat cap yeah it's like it's like an older dude so that works for you yeah that would okay good what we say i've lost my look i'm saying i did it didn't i don't i i don't think it necessarily helped for me that they were a family unit. Yeah, right. Like, it didn't... You're a monster.

You're the monster, Mason. Yes, I know. That's the big reveal at the end, that I'm a monster. But I think they produced a good family dynamic, but I don't think that affected me any more than it would have been if they were just a group of people that lived together. Like, if they were a band of friends that worked together. Again.

See, I think a band of friends for me, because as a father, Mason, I think they'd be like... Yuck-o. They'd work in betrayal and one would rat out somebody else and whatever. But I think with this, because it was, we need everybody to live, I think that made it more interesting. Poignant? Yeah, poignant, I think it's pronounced, Mason.

Okay, good. Yeah. What about the world building, how they established this threat? Do you think it was too much information, not enough information? There was... I feel there was almost the perfect amount of information, but it was spoiled a little bit by some very obvious beat you over the head exposition. Yes.

Like... Newspaper articles? Whiteboards. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. We'll talk about the whiteboard in spoilers. Yeah. But yes, you're absolutely right.

It was very... A lot of the stuff was very obviously signposted, I feel. Signs posted, you mean. Oh, devil in a lift. This is... Going down. First floor, men's shoes. signs posted oh devil in a lift this going down first floor men's shoes second floor

lingerie third floor devil it's the devil in a lift you've seen devil in a lift no I haven't clearly you just said the premise

of devil in a lift yeah that's I said the premise and the final line of the movie so I guess I have seen it this is the kind of last thing I want to say before spoilers, because most of the interesting stuff is probably in spoilers.

They basically, they walk on sand in bare feet, so they don't hear anything, but the sand trails like all the way into town. I just can't wrap my head around that, how he did it, how John Krasinski did it. Where'd he get the sand?

Was the sand ever washed away? Good question, yeah. Like how many bags of sand would he have? Sand is heavy. You know what would have been easier? Yeah. You wrap your feet in bandages, you fill them with sand. You fill your feet with sand.

You hollow out your feet. Yeah. Keep your mouth shut while you're doing it. Fill them with sand. Not a bad idea, Mason. Yeah, I mean, maybe... Because it's also implied that... Well, it's not implied.

Like, there is a community in the surrounding area. So maybe it's not just them building these trails of sand. Yeah, maybe they're the only people left, perhaps, yeah. No, but they're not. I mean, in the world... Like, the family? Yes. No, because there's a bit where you see the other...

communities, sort of oh yeah dummy oh my dummy yeah but anyway yeah nice spoilers yeah spoilers best movie ever

yeah I'd say best movie ever certainly worth a watch definitely and it's great unless you are unless you've seen all the M. Night Shyamalan movies in which case

based on what you've said you might be a little sick of these tropes nah nah this is better than any of those yeah right this isn't a spoiler but I think the jump scares work I don't like jump scares movies, in which case, based on what you've said, you might be a little sick of these tropes. No, no, this is better than any of those. Yeah, right. Oh, this isn't a spoiler, but I think the jump scares work. I don't like jump scares, but most of them worked for this because it's of the sound

design of the film. Yeah, right. You know, it's not like, you know, like a cat jumping out and there's like a violin sounds like it's not. That's true. Yeah. It's none of that. I mean, there's a little bit of that, but not so much.

All right. Let's talk true. Yeah. It's none of that. I mean, there's a little bit of that, but not so much. All right. Let's talk spoilers. Okay. Uh, I thought it was good at the start when that kid got swiped. Me too. Because it meant that it was sad and dangerous world. That's true.

Established it straight up. And I didn't think that kid was going to get swiped, but then he got swiped. I like, I really liked the, before you see the monsters, they're kind of like these tarantulas, like running through the woods. Yeahiped. I really like the, before you see the monsters, they're kind of like these tarantulas like running through the woods.

Yeah, right. Like these man-sized tarantulas. So what do you think? They're aliens? What do you think they are? Well, I saw a clip that said meteo in Mexico or something like that. Right. So I think that's what happened. Okay.

Interesting fact as well. This was originally was proposed as a Cloverfield film. I was going to say that. This would have slipped into the Cloverfield vague multiverse much better than Cloverfield Paradox did. Even though that movie

is strictly about multiverses, but yes, you are right. This felt much more appropriate in tone for that universe. But I'm glad they didn't, because I think this doesn't need to rest in that universe to make it work at all. Yeah, for sure.

And it's still doing well, obviously. Oh, yeah, anyway, so the premise... Yeah. Not the premise, but the... The core conceit. The core conceit of this film... Here we go. One of them is that they are wildly, the aliens, which are blind.

Yes. We know that because the whiteboard says blind. Yes. And they attack anything they can hear. Yes. We know that because of the whiteboard. Yes. They've got armor, question mark.

Yes. Whiteboard. But what is their weakness? Question mark. Big on the thing. They keep cutting to that. Yeah, they sure do. Time to time. weakness question mark big big on the on the thing they keep cutting to that yeah but their weakness is evidently sounds at certain frequencies yes which render them very confused and largely

helpless yes at which point they can be killed with a shotgun blast because their armor is exposed why has no one ever done that i agree because you think about it was sound yep because there was a newspaper at the start that was like it's sound yes you think the government would have just fired all sorts of frequencies at it governments and police departments and armies have like big sound generating cannons yes let's give them a whirl they've got like machines that make a noise where you shit your pants. So you think that at the very least turn that on. Just embarrass them, you know?

That's right. Just embarrass them. Maybe they'll go back to their home planet. Yeah. I mean, maybe they figured it out too late. Sure. But no, I agree. And maybe some places had figured it out, but nobody's communicating.

I got the sense that there's like three of these for every four square miles or something yeah and they've just spread themselves out across the continent or whatever did you get that sense like they're just territorial they're like okay this is my yeah maybe yeah uh-huh yeah it also ended in the most michael bay way possible i did it yeah a woman who's just given birth wielding a shotgun reloading a shotgun yeah uh-huh yeah that was that birth scene was terrifying oh yeah for sure like a lot of this was so effective but the bounce back from that was i mean look you're in a situation where you have to do it yes you know because john spoiler alert john john krasinski gets torn apart by monsters

uh did you find that... Were you moving or...? Moving but somewhat pointless. Yes. There had to be another way. I don't know. I don't understand why they didn't have multiple sound traps. Like they had fireworks. Yes.

To distract from... They had egg timer. Egg timer. They had egg timer and firework. But there should have been like a bunch of string cans that you could pull and whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You'd want to set it up Home Alone style. You would.

Exactly. You want a blowtorch on a string. Yeah. You want cans of paint. Correct. You want Christmas ornaments. You want Joe Pesci's corpse strung up. Yeah, that's right.

As a warning. Mm-hmm. Yeah. But no. But yeah, so I guess the takeaway for me is you have to buy into the premise that for some reason they figured this out too late. Yeah. And all the infrastructure to build a whole bunch of those is gone.

Yes. Or, you know. That's it. But yeah, that I don't understand. And that weaknesses thing, because they kept cutting to it like weaknesses? What's the weakness? What's the weakness? And then at the end when they figure out the weakness,

it's from somebody looking at the board and it says weaknesses. And then they're like, wait a minute. Weaknesses? Wait a second. Yeah. What's happening? I liked that they showed that the audience figured it out before the monsters did.

Like before the kids did or the family did. Yeah, right. Yeah. Also, I think that girl's really deaf. Oh, I see. I like the use of like the i the premise i think yeah i agree could have been better executed in parts but i like the whole idea of it this world where you speak in sign language and any noise can and then you know even they're like eating food off leaves yeah right stuff like that and you know and monopoly is just bits of felt that they're whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you put a baby in a box and why would you have a baby?

Yeah, I know. Why? I mean, it happens, obviously. Yeah. But, yeah. You'd have to keep that baby in that room for years. My kid, I don't even know when they stopped screaming. I have no idea.

Yeah. Yeah. Were they 10? I don't even know when they stopped screaming i've no idea yeah yeah were there 10 i don't know no all you have to do is you have to explain to your very small child yeah that there's enormous unstoppable spike monsters who are coming to kill them and they'll stop crying immediately that's a good point actually yeah okay they should have probably tried that but i like at the start how the little kid who got taken like clearly like did, like, did not get it. Yeah, right. And this world, you need to get survive. You need to get it, man. You've got to get it. If you don't get it, you get got.

Yeah. Yeah. That would be great if that scene was followed immediately by John Krasinski and Emily Blunt having a conversation where they're like, look, the kid just didn't get it, you know? He didn't get it. God. We don't need losers like that on our team.

Should we have another one and maybe they'll get it? Yeah, hopefully they'll get it. Yeah. But like the end of Signs, if you recall correctly, Mason. I haven't seen it. Is the Signs monsters, Sinos, they call them in the film. They're on Earth. They don't have space suits on.

They're just nude and running about and standing on a roof. Sexy and spooky. It's a good film. I go, genuine, it is. But their weakness is water do you know this i'm aware of this yes so at the end uh mel gibson or joaquin phoenix figures this out and just like hits baseball bats filled with no it's glasses of water with a baseball bat over the signs monster and it's like ah and this end sequence is very that like there's that moment of realization

and then yeah right uh-huh that's kind of how it plays out yeah yeah how did how did joaquin phoenix or mel gibson figure that out was did somebody offer the science monster a glass of water who looked very parched yeah they were like no no no thank you yeah no no no no no no it was are you sure you're looking quite dry no no no no no no no no it was the girl

is putting glasses of water all around the house and then the science monster falls over and then a glass of water

tips on it and it's like oh yeah so solid film man ending ain't great but yeah.

What else, Mason? Anything else? Did you ever think like, this is Jim from The Office. Did that ever distract you? No. See, I've just watched 11 seasons of The Office, however long it went. So, that's on me though. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But he was great. I thought he was really good. I imagine he spent the entire shoot like, don't spike the camera and look bemused. And then he hired the best film editor in the business. And he's like, if I even approach like 180 degrees on the camera, you cut that out. You cut it out. All right.

I'm going to wear the shot color. If I ever look at the camera, I'm going to press this button. Yeah, no. I'd like to see what he was going to do next because he also was saying that he's not a horror film guy. Yeah, right. I think often the good horror films come from people who aren't necessarily horror directors or horror aficionados.

Yeah. And to what extent this follows the tropes of your modern day horror film, I don't know. But maybe that's... It's tough to say. I imagine if I attempted to make a horror film, I would fall into every trap of a horror movie script. That I've set for you on the way to the set.

Ah, my legs! It's very possible. I think it's definitely worth saying. But go when it's quiet. When it's a quiet place. Oh, yeah. Because of the spooks. Yeah.

Yeah. Anything else? No. All right, let's move it along. Nice. Okay. Oh, you know what it is time for? I've got to say this part, sorry.

Okay. What are we reading? Well, what are we going to read? Yeah. I'm doing the thing. I'm doing the thing. yeah I'm doing the thing what are we reading

today what are you reading Mason well my iPad restarted itself after dying a few weeks ago it's just back it's risen from the grave excellent

in something of a Christ parallel yeah I get it so I'm back on Mr Miracle it's a good series yeah it's good the second story arc has started yes yes

speaking of harrowing tales. Yes. Just keeps going, doesn't it? I thought it was wrapping up. I thought it was going to wrap up. No. But it's going to keep going. Yeah, it's gone for 12, I think.

Good. Yeah. It's good. Good series. Did you watch Legion? No, it's back though. That's what I'm going to read. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

First episode's out? A couple of episodes. First episode's out, yeah. Does it make any more or less sense? It makes some sense, but the stuff that I don't understand, I'm more or less sense it makes some sense but i'm the stuff that i don't understand i'm like well it all made sense in the end in the last one is it still weirdly anachronistic in many places yes uh is flight of the concords back yes cool

it's great stuff it's good yeah i like it a lot anyway again in place of doing that i've just been watching i've been half watching that Killjoy show. Killjoy? What's that one? It's the one that's, it's Canadian. It's like Space Bounty Hunters. It's the, it's the, it's the show that I can watch without watching it really. It can just be on in my house and I can just go and do other things. It's just an assortment of attractive people sassing each other and then something blows

up. That's every episode. I'm watching the 100. It's exactly the same. Yeah, nice. You with that? Sort of. Yeah. It's weird because it's teens go to earth, but earth was contaminated. It's every episode. I'm watching the 100. It's exactly the same. Yeah, nice. You with that? Sort of. Yeah.

It's weird because it's teens go to Earth, but Earth was contaminated 100 years after. And then every now and then they'll introduce a new character. And it takes me a good five minutes to figure out whether they're supposed to be a teenager or they're an adult. Yeah, right. Because everyone's 26. Yes, exactly. It's very confusing. But it's not a bad show.

A lot of people threw this our way for April Fool's last week. They got us. Good on all those sweet gags. There was the Bushworld Adventures of Rick and Morty. Yes. Now, this has been made by... Michael Cusack. I've been watching his stuff for ages.

He's an Australian animator. He does Darren and Damo, you know, those two kind of Darrow bloke, Aussie blokes. Have you seen those? Yeah, I think so. And a bunch of other surrealist nightmare stuff. Yeah, he's got a very distinctive style. Yeah, I think he's fantastic. And I really enjoyed this.

Pretty good, right? You're a fan? Of this in particular? Yes, but I'm not overly familiar with the rest of his stuff. Okay. Yeah, I just go through his YouTube. It's great. Okay.

But some of it will make you want to kill yourself. That's really good. Has he ever got anything on TV? I don't. Oh, I think like ABC2 or something like that. Does this mean he's working for Adult Swim now? Potentially. Maybe.

I don't know. But we don't even know if Rick and Morty season four is happening or whatever. Might not have even been greenlit, but... Imagine if it wasn't. Yeah. Imagine. People would take to the streets. That boy would they. happening or whatever might not have even been greenlit but imagine if it wasn't yeah imagine people would take to the streets that boy would they they'd take to mcdonald's with their szechuan sauce oh that's yep this the conspiracy theory would somehow blame mcdonald's correct and

mcdonald's would is this is this like adult swims way of like building up some kind of type and tension for the next season. I would think so. So it's like a rare event to get a Rick and Morty whatever. I mean, why would they put this out

and then not Greenlight in the new season? Maybe they don't like the creators or something. I don't know. Maybe. But if they don't, just go somewhere else.

Go put on a different network. But if they haven't even started it, we're two years away from this. Yeah, that's a long way away isn't it yes mason yes yes are you reading or watching anything else uh no i'm just doing comedy first of all stuff anything to recommend this week oh gosh i saw alan andy's show it's really good right it's done now it's wrapped up god can't see it again yeah

you once had an iphone case which was also and letters, they're only a take away. I know they're here right now, we're going to do letters. You once had an iPhone case, which was also a charger. Have you abandoned that for a regular case? I have abandoned it, it was too bulky. Bulkly? It was too bulkly. I understand. I gave it to my butler bulkly.

What did he do with it? I don't know. He threw it into your fountain? Probably sold it to feed his family, I don't know. How bulkly was it though? Was it uncomfortably bulkly? Well, it wasn't, but it was also a smaller phone. Yeah, right.

Because this is a Plus, so... Oh, you had it before you had the Plus? Yes. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, very good. Oh, what I was saying about my iPhone that I hate earlier, it's got a bedtime on it.

So every time I open up the clock, it's like, do you want to set a bedtime? How about fuck you phone? Like, I'm an adult human being. Mine doesn't do that. What have you... Your wife has put that in your phone. Your wife has installed that on your phone without your knowledge.

Also, who's great? Guy Montgomery is very funny. Okay. That's a good show. Okay, I'll come back to it. If you go to bedtime, it says, Introducing bedtime, going to bed and waking up the same time every day keeps you safe and healthy.

Loser. That's loser talk. Are you kidding me? My friend jack druce uh he's just starting his show this week that'll be very funny okay funny man that's it anyway that's everyone you should see ever yep i'll do a twitter thing i'll put it on twitter i hope you do mason for all of our sakes okay you got you got some tweets there if you want to reach the show hashtag weekly planet pod on twitter we'll say weeklyplanetpod at gmail.com you can shoot

mason an email and he will check it and read it. I'm checking it furiously right now. Very good. This is from Matt Walsh. Quick question for Mr. Sunday Movies, but would love Wikipedia Brown's perspective too. Hashtag, as a father, and considering extended run times for mega blockbusters,

do you think Disney slash Marvel should revive intermissions for two and a half plus long films like Infinity War? Hashtag weekly planet pod. That is a good question. Would you? 100% yes. You want an intermission?

Yeah. What would you do in that intermission? I'd pee and then I'd come back. All right. Okay. Just five minutes, mate. If you go to the theater, theaters often don't even go for that long

and they give you an intermission. You can go out, you can get a Malteser, you can get a Choc Top. Single Malteser? Yeah, single one. The prices at these concession stands, let me tell you. Oh boy. Sparkling wine.

Would you be afraid that you'd be bailed up by other people and you'd have to have a conversation about what has happened already? That would be, I'd put headphones in and then I'd sit in the toilet. Okay. That's why I want intermission. ready that would be i'd put headphones in and then i'd sit in the toilet okay that's why i want your permission okay good yeah did you know that in australia toilet is the bathroom but in america toilet is the literal yes i do so you literally sit in the toilet yeah yeah wow that's quite a speedy in. Wow. What would you do? That's a good question. Yeah.

I don't know. Maybe they'd get people fired up for the second half. It could very well. The only reason I can see it not happening, well, there's a number of reasons, but you limit the amount of time you can play a movie during the day, which means over the long term, there's less screenings. That's true.

I think that would be eliminated very quickly. I think Disney or Marvel would put the hard word out and be like, there will be no intermissions. You will not do it. Yeah, but I also think it might be a good idea for cinema chains to get more because people would go to the candy bar and whatever. Yeah, that's true. I think it might be because that's where they make their money isn't it like not so much ticket sales it's more all the garbage they sell yes i think it's the garbage yeah yeah all the tiny little pizzas they outrageous do you like gold class mason no i'm not against it but i

don't it's like first class on a plane. Do you need that much room? Yeah, for a plane. Okay, then. Yeah, absolutely. Nice. I mean, I've never had it properly where you lie down. Imagine lying down on a plane.

It's a dream, mate. I don't want to be on a plane, though. Yeah, that's true. You don't. But if you could lie down on a plane, is that better? No, that's probably worse. What about if you could go and sit in the toilet? Would you prefer that? the toilet would you prefer absolutely you get sucked out of one of those things yeah wow yeah uh you want to read your email i'm still looking for an email okay i can do another one another one

it's from peter colin uh given that bond i'm sorry who peter colin c-o-l-o-n colon great given that bond movies basically copy whatever is popular in action movies and when they're made, does this mean we can expect Bond 25 to basically be John Wick with James Bond directed by Danny Boyle? Is 25 the next one coming? Yes. I don't think so. There's a very real possibility we're going to get John Wick style Bond action.

I don't think... Imagine a live Keanu Reeves-esque Bond that's not Keanu Reeves. Yeah, right. You don't get bulky Bond, who's like a tank and he's smashing people's heads apart on kitchen sinks. Look, I think they would want to do that,

but I think maybe it's beyond their... I feel like maybe it's beyond their capabilities in a way. Really? It's too un-Bond-like, maybe? But everything Daniel Craig does initially is too un-Bond-like. Yeah, I guess. He's doing parkour. He's doing a flip.

He's not doing a flip. He's running through a... He's wearing little shorts. When have you ever seen Bond wearing little shorts? Yeah, that's true. Never again. Never before. Never say never again.

That's true. Rowan Atkinson. Yeah. Johnny English. Johnny English. Yeah. It all comes full circle. Do you reckon there's a Johnny English gag

where he's in little shorts no I don't think or like a weird European bathing suit I don't think Rowan Atkinson would lower himself to that joke

I think maybe like a sidekick you have a sidekick that comes out of the water it's like you're gonna meet your sexy new sidekick and he's like ooh who's this

and then it's like Steve Coogan yeah exactly Coogan would do it Coogan would definitely do it. Isn't he doing a new Alan Partridge season or something? I hope so. That'd be great.

No, so you don't think they'll do the John Wick-esque. What if they get a John Wick-esque guy in there? But he's not a John Wick guy. Oh, I see. Look, I think maybe there would be... See, and also Bond isn't really... Bond's mindset isn't really... He's not really a headshot guy.

No. I think he values human life more than John Wick does. I mean, he doesn't really value it at all, but John Wick is like less than zero. I would say Bond is more, probably except for Daniel Craig, is more minimal effort in a fight as well. Yes. Okay, yeah.

But it wouldn't surprise me to see elements except for Daniel Craig, is more minimal effort in a fight as well. Yes. Okay, yeah. Yeah. But I wouldn't surprise me to see elements of this kind of fast-paced John Wick-style action. But I don't think you can have Bond headshotting 50 guys because I think it would make him less relatable than he already is. Yes, for sure. Yeah.

Yeah. But no, it wouldn't surprise me. Have you found that letter yet, Mason? I'm still looking. You are thoroughly unprepared. I know. And that's why you'll never- There's so many good letters.

Oh, really? Just read one of them. Just read literally any of them. Did you ever see the episode they did like a parody of Doctor Who with Rowan Atkinson as Doctor Who? I remember that one. Yeah. Was it a charity thing?

Yeah, I think so. I remember being funny. Yeah. Oh, here's one. You're ready for this. I'm ready. This is a big one. This is a big one.

All right. You're ready for this? You know it. Yeah. Oh, here's one. You ready for this? I'm ready. This is a big one. This is a big one. All right. You ready for this? You know it. Okay. All right. I'm going to explain it to you and then we're going to have to do it. We're going to have to do a little play. You ready for this?

Fucking hell, all right. Okay. This is from Mike Gimarnio. Okay. He's been a diehard weekly whacker to do since very early on. Thank you for listening. Good, good. His girlfriend has joked with him about how much he listens to all the planet broadcasting shows.

They just passed their one-a-year anniversary. They're about to move into their own place. I thought it would be good to nonchalantly play on the radio on our way over the weekly planet, as I often do. Right as we pull up here, I would like to hear my Australian mates, James and Maiso, asking if Caitlin will make Mike the happiest man in the world by being his wife. Wow. Okay. That's huge.

He's saved up. He has a ring. He's asking for her father's permission. Okay. Okay. So we'll have to put the time code in. Yeah. Mike's proposal to Caitlin.

And then you email it to him. Yes. So he gets this before he, yeah. All right. Good. Okay. How do we, how do we float this question? Um, all right.

That is, okay. Is it a lazy attempt is all I'm saying. Okay, cool. How do we float this question? All right. That is, okay. Is it a lazy attempt is all I'm saying. Or a trick. Is it a trick? Yep. Could he not think of a good idea? So this is it. Well, look, this can be a good,

but maybe he's thought of something good in the meantime. Oh, okay. Also, you have to email back and let us know how it went. 100%. And it has to be photo evidence. Yes. And today's newspaper. A stenographer.

A stenographer and a scientist who's carbon dating the newspaper. And then he has to be attached to a lie detector. But failing that, just a photo of the two of you. That would be great. Unless it goes badly, in which case. Then get that photo, regardless. I want to see it. Yeah.

Oh, you know what we could do? What? We do the intro to the show. Yeah. And then we do it. Do I have to edit? No, no. I mean, it we do it now and then he just cues it up he just so do i re-edit it in no so it's like the start of the show the show and you'll be like okay okay right all right fine let's do it okay bit of theater good stuff all right okay you ready oh i've never played to be

real i've never played myself before in a fake episode of the Weekly Planet. Just imagine being a father. Okay, I will. Okay, you ready? Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of the Weekly Planet, where we talk movies and comics and TV shows. My name is James, also known as Mr. Sunday. With me, as always, is my co-host, Nick Mason.

And we've got a special message from Mike to Caitlin. Okay. Caitlin, would you do Mike the honour of becoming his wife for for how long for heaps of time okay

all the time yeah that's I just think you should stipulate the time period because if it's like a couple of years if he just wants

a short term commitment no I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure this is a wife thing okay good this is a wife thing excellent okay good

are you prepared to wife him up yeah big time forever and likewise obviously well he is prepared he's very prepared unless this is a trick Okay, good. He's a wife thing. Excellent. Okay, good. Are you prepared to wife him up? Yeah, big time. Forever. And likewise, obviously. Well, he is prepared. He's very prepared.

Unless this is a trick. Yes. It could very well be. How exciting, though. Very exciting. Yeah. We're pausing to see what happened. Yep.

All right, that should do it. Do you think it went well? I think it probably went well. I 100% agree with you. She read it out the bit where I said, how long for? No in okay that's all right it's a reasonable question i didn't mean to disrespect the sanctity of marriage mason i'm a big fan as you know i'm well into it yep i'm well into one as we speak yep but for how long yeah we didn't stipulate a couple of years yeah all right yep nice yeah okay that's cool good on him man yeah please let us know that's the

biggest letter of them all the best that's great okay i think that's the show then oh we did it we did a bit of a shorter one uh my fault because i have to edit this before the solo trailer comes out and then i have to and then i have to work on that it's fine and we got five minutes left five minutes to go we are killing this dun dun dun dun dun dun dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, Limp Bizkit theme song. Yeah. Oh, okay. I, um, next week is Rampage.

Oh, is that, is it? It's next week, Rampage. Yeah, yeah. Good Lord. All right. So, uh, we won't talk about that at our live show. We've got a, um, we've got something else lined up for that, but we'll probably double up on news and do the same jokes.

Oh, it'd be be so it would be incredible if we just talked about rampage on the live episode we locked the doors and we're like folks we're going to talk about rampage there's a non-spoiler section and a spoiler section so during the spoiler section if you haven't listened to rampage block your ears correct yeah but it's uh yeah i think it's unfair to people go come to a live show at all. So you have to have seen this movie. Yes, exactly. Yeah, so we'll do something else. Let's do something else.

But we will talk about that next week. That Uwe Boll video went up on the channel this week. Has it caught the attention of Uwe Boll yet? It hasn't. I was, because I was speaking to Matt about it who edited it. To be clear, I'm not going to fight Uwe Boll. Absolutely not. Like I, the thing about that guy is he's very unpredictable.

Yes. I have no idea how this was going to go. He could be getting on a plane right now to come to Melbourne to fight us. And it could be absolutely nothing, which seems to be where it's at at this moment. Oh, sweet relief. He challenged somebody else to a fight this week, so I think his mind's on that, which is very exciting. But I watched actually some footage of some Uwe Boll fights earlier this week. That dude is a killer.

I bet. For real. Yeah, yeah. So I think if either of us were to box him, we'd have youth on our side, but he'd kill us. Great. He'd kill us both at the same time. Wow.

Yeah. So maybe we beat up the guy from Something Awful and some other people or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. What a lunatic. What a good bloke though. He seems good,
