Starting point is 00:01:29 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, I'm back at work, it sucks That does suck for you I know Yeah, I mean everybody else I'm sure can just carry on with their day They can absolutely carry on with their day
Starting point is 00:01:43 Some people during the week are like Oh you'll be happy to be back at work won't you? I'm sure can just carry on with their day. They can absolutely carry on with their day. Some people during the week are like, oh, you'd be happy to be back at work, won't you? I'm like, no. And they're like, but don't you like your job? I'm like, yeah, but I prefer to continue in this tradition where I'm not there and they keep paying me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:57 Feels good, man. Feels great. But then do you lack purpose? Do you lack drive? I don't need any purpose or drive. I don't want any. Stop trying to put purpose and drive on me. I just want to sit at home and watch the telly.
Starting point is 00:02:08 Okay, that's fair enough. I guess if this podcast gets bigger, you can do that, I guess. Yes, that's the dream. But if it gets smaller, you have to get another job again. Guys, please help me realize my dream of doing nothing and having no drive. If you could, that's all I want. Well, people can actually help realize that dream because we put up a Civil War commentary. That's right.
Starting point is 00:02:27 We did last week in preparation for Infinity War. Captain America Civil War specifically. Yes. Not a commentary about the Civil War. No. Because we don't know anything about it. And there's very little footage from it as well. That's true, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:37 I mean, it wouldn't stop us speaking about the Civil War not knowing anything about it. But we would. You want cannons on two big wooden wheels? Mm-hmm. Yeah. We can point that out. You want want a weird you want a weird like proto submarine you know like one side's got a sneaky submarine and they're bloody and it works for like two minutes and then everyone
Starting point is 00:02:55 drowns you know one of those there's always one isn't there absolutely there is yeah uh so that's clive cussler can write a novel about it bet bet he bloody could So that's up on the Bandcamp Which you can play for free Or pay any amount of money and download it If you do stream it for free Often it unsyncs Just so people know And people are like, why does it sync up?
Starting point is 00:03:19 Because it's just the way it works It's not a great site We're not doing it deliberately We haven't pre-scripted what we're going to say in the commentary and then we just deliberately slow it down no we don't we'd love to we'd love to be able to that'd be a funny uh and the other thing is up on the patreon so if you're a patreon supporter it's already along with a bunch of other stuff there's going to be a great comic caravan of garbage going up early about the aven Avengers and a bunch of other stuff.
Starting point is 00:03:45 The other thing is our charity campaign has kicked off as of last week. It kicked off. For Care Australia. It's going great guns. They should call it Care International, Mason, because that's really what it's for. The organization is Australian, but they help people out worldwide. Exactly. And it focuses on education, health, water and sanitation, food security and emergency crisis support for families.
Starting point is 00:04:08 And number one, a good point about them, no scandals. There's zero scandals. I went to their Wikipedia page and I'm like, scroll down, there's no scandals. And how many scandals were there? Zero scandals. That's good. There's often a scandal. There's always a scandal.
Starting point is 00:04:23 Except this time, obviously. Yeah, we do. Well, Claire, I should say, really looks into these charities and causes and all that kind of stuff. Also, if you do donate, you get to ask a question. And like we did last year, we're going to do a Q&A and go through as many as we can of all the questions asked. We can't get to them all, but we'll give them a red hot go. We get to a lot, though. We get to a lot, yeah. We got to a close a lot last year. It just depends how many we get to a mob, we'll give them a red hot go. We get to a lot, though. We get to a lot, yeah. We got to a close a lot last year.
Starting point is 00:04:45 It just depends how many we get. And the other thing, we might do a little video to show how we work in here, if people really want to know that. We've got a new space that we're going to be kitting out. We could show that. I don't know if you've got a suggestion for something you want to see, if you donate, we could probably... You might see some brief footage of your kid will blur his face out
Starting point is 00:05:01 like he's a drunk on cops. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. And also, the other podcast in the Planet Broadcasting Network, I know Tofop have mentioned this and others probably, they're going to put up some- We haven't followed up. No, they're going to put up some bonus content as well. So you donate any amount and you'll get something. Nice.
Starting point is 00:05:20 Yeah. Even if it's only a good feeling in your heart. Yeah. But also other stuff in addition to that. Oh yeah, actual content. But also the your heart. Yeah. But also other stuff. Oh, yeah. Actual content. But also the other stuff you don't have to listen to. That's true. But you have to listen to the good feeling in your heart.
Starting point is 00:05:31 You have to know that. It's going to make you do other nice things as well. That's right. So I'll link that below. Also, we're still in the podcast towards if people want to vote for it. Oh, yeah. That's right. That's coming up soon, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:05:39 Yeah. Great. People's choice. Yeah. You guys are the people and we're the choice. That's right All that's linked below Anyway
Starting point is 00:05:47 Let's do the show Mason Okay Venom dropped a trailer Last week Because they played it At CinemaCon Or NovaCon Or whatever
Starting point is 00:05:54 One of the cons They weren't going to release it But then somebody Posted the footage Of it online Oh as a gif With the Venom mask Yeah
Starting point is 00:06:01 And so I don't know whether That pushed it Because it was also Like the day the Avengers reviews were going up. I think that did push it because reviews of that GIF were very negative.
Starting point is 00:06:11 Really? People did not. I thought it looks good. What do you think? I think it looks much better in trailer format, but I can understand how people were like, that looks kind of average. Yeah, because you don't want the first release of it
Starting point is 00:06:22 to be a GIF that somebody shot on their phone yeah for sure at a press event yeah no i can understand that but uh what did you think of the trailer also i did a trailer breakdown if people want to check it out uh first observation he is wearing a lot of bracelets he is wearing a lot of bracelets i am no it's too many i'm not against because they all represent a place he's been on his but do they i think think probably. On his career as a reporter. A hard-hitting investigative reporter. Yes, Central Park. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:06:50 The Lower East Side. That gelato shop that he loves that he did a piece on. A Barucca linen bridge. These are all places, aren't they? Gino's Pizzeria. That's right. So he does food. He mostly does food.
Starting point is 00:07:01 He's a food reporter. He's the Daily Bugle's food reporter in his continuity. I wonder if it is the Daily bugle don't know because i talked about this in my video but he's not a terrible reporter is he no he's meant to be a good reporter but he just makes one big mistake yeah who knows what it'll be in this i assume it's tangling with the wrong team yeah it's tangling with the wrong tangling with the symbiote yes yeah people are saying symbiote what do you where do you stand on this i don't care they say symbiote. Yes. Yeah. People are saying symbiote. Where do you stand on this? I don't care.
Starting point is 00:07:27 They say symbiote in the trailer, I think. I've always said symbiote, but apparently I'm wrong. You know what? You can say whatever you want. I think I will. It's also the way that- I was going to continue. I was never going to correct myself.
Starting point is 00:07:36 I get corrected. What do you reckon about that, Gal Gadot? I'm never going to correct myself. Never! I get corrected a lot. And often I'm wrong wrong but often it's just that's just how we talk here yeah oh yeah for sure so yeah but i'd say that's probably it but i'm sure it's melbourne it's not it's melbourne no it's melbourne the r is irrelevant it's silent
Starting point is 00:07:55 and irrelevant what about melbourne oh it's unpleasant saying here yeah uh this is a much better trailer. For sure. You know what it reminds me of? And again, I said this in my breakdown. You can watch it below, Mason. It's very Batman Begins, the first trailer. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:12 As in it's like, what is this? Bits and pieces. Oh, it's Venom. This is what the first trailer should have been. Yeah. And this actually looks... Well, I didn't think it was necessarily going to be terrible from the first trailer. Because I'm like, well, they didn't show anything,
Starting point is 00:08:25 but this actually looks like it could be good. I think there's some super clunky dialogue, but I also think that that is... That seems to be part and parcel of trailers now is that they cut up. There's some good lines of dialogue in the movie and they're like, we don't have time to put them all in. So it's just, you work for an evil corporation.
Starting point is 00:08:43 Your boss is evil. And it's clearly, you know. And it's often they'll, it seems like lines are sometimes written for trailers. And sometimes you see in a, as we might learn later, sometimes an alternate take is in the trailer than the movie. That's right. But this looks a lot better.
Starting point is 00:09:00 And also I should, we should point out now, I feel we called some of the stuff that they'd admitted from the previous trailer i'm saying that now because i got a lot of stuff wrong regarding infinity war that we'll talk about later it's all up in the air yeah that's right that's good but there's i mean i think in the previous trailer we just saw him driving along on a motorcycle and just cars flipping and we're like probably tendrils there tendrils it was tendrils there you know so the tendrils go through his clothing but doesn't leave a weird weapon? Yeah, because they're liquidy.
Starting point is 00:09:28 Yeah. They're going through the fibers. Yeah, I think that's interesting. I mean, they're going very quickly. It reminds me also of Prototype, the game. Oh, the video game Prototype. Good game. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:36 So it seems like he goes to investigate and then he gets a venom. He gets venomed up his nose and butt. Some people are saying, well, maybe that's his, maybe Venom has replicated his clothing. That's possible too. But also, why would you replicate a weird sweaty sweatshirt? It's so sweaty. Maybe that's what he was wearing
Starting point is 00:09:50 when it got him. Yeah, no, but why keep it so sweaty? Maybe it doesn't, well, it's a different personality also. Maybe it likes Venom. You can talk to it. That's not from the comics, is it? We were talking about this.
Starting point is 00:10:00 Isn't it more like we and us? He's often saying we. I think maybe... We! Yeah, exactly. Isn't it more like we and us? He's often saying we. I think maybe... We! Yeah, exactly. Maybe earlier on he debates with it more. I don't remember. I'm sure there's been a bit where they separate
Starting point is 00:10:13 or they get trapped in their mind together. Yeah, for sure. Or they chat. Yeah, I think this is probably going to work. We don't see any webbing, do we? No, well, maybe he can't webbing because this doesn't come from Spider-Man. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:25 Because a lot of the traits of Venom he't come from Spider-Man. Yeah. Yeah. Because that's where, because a lot of the traits of Venom he borrows from Spider-Man. That's true, yeah. But we're not getting that origin.
Starting point is 00:10:31 There's also, there was the rumours that Tom Holland is going to make an appearance. What do you think about that? Do you think it's going to happen? I'd like to see that. Me too.
Starting point is 00:10:38 Just put them together. I mean, if this movie's good. MCU adjacent. Yeah, well, this did say, produced in association
Starting point is 00:10:44 with Marvel or something like that. Yeah. Which is a strange way to put it because it makes it sound is good mcu adjacent yeah well this did say produced what produced in association with marvel or something like that yeah which is uh which is a strange way to put it because it makes it sounds like to me it sounds it looks like it's a less tied in yeah than if they just had the logo yeah yeah but this is set in the mcu but not maybe that's a contractual thing like maybe marvel have gone you can't just put up the Marvel logo anymore. You have, like, maybe this is going forward. All the Marvel movies are going to have to, all these movies are going to have to say
Starting point is 00:11:09 in association with Marvel. But it's only, it would only be this and nothing else because everything from Fox is going back. That's true. So, I don't know. We'll have to see. I had some other thoughts. What were they?
Starting point is 00:11:22 Thoughts about this trailer? Yes. Okay. I got some thoughts about this government. I'll tell you what. What were they? Thoughts about this trailer? Yes. Okay. I got some thoughts about this gunman. I'll tell you what. You and me both, brother. We now clearly see there's two symbiotes in the jars. Yes.
Starting point is 00:11:34 So the other one's Carnage. One of them's Carnage. Because Carnage is normally an offshoot. So you don't think that... Aren't there enemy symbiotes or symbiotes as well? There are, yeah. There's a whole bunch. There was a planet of the symbiote storyline at one point so there's so many now there's so many man ah what else oh yeah how do you think he's going to get the logo on his chest
Starting point is 00:11:53 what do you think it's going to be he might not no i reckon it's going to be a white splooch a splooch i think it's going to be vaguely spider-ish yeah right i think it's gonna be a white splooch and then maybe some veins coming out of it like a spider yeah like a spider i had a question is the tongue uh tom hardy's time no it's the tongue and the teeth yes so they're they're liquidy yes as well yes okay just double checking that yeah the teeth are bendy they're bendy that's like bananas like like little but like like like undercooked pasta oh very, very good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I get you. Should we move it along?
Starting point is 00:12:27 Yeah, let's move it along. Okay, there's a new Star Wars animated series which has been announced. It's called Resistance, I think. That's the full title. Resistance, I think. Yeah. And that's the...
Starting point is 00:12:37 We see the tagline in the trailer. What are we all doing here? Resistance, I think. And the reason it's called Resistance is because Star Wars Rebels ends, which was kind of an origin of the Rebel... What are you doing there? I dropped the end of my pen.
Starting point is 00:12:54 Ah. I've got fiddly hands, so I need to do something. Do you want me to get you a Rubik's Cube? No, I don't like them because I'll never solve it. It'll just make me upset. Yeah, that's true. I've got a fidget cube. I don't know where it is. I think my son threw it in the toilet or something. So it's still in the toilet.
Starting point is 00:13:08 It's definitely in the toilet. But so Rebels was the origin of the rebellion. And this seems to be the lead up to the new galactic war from the new trilogies. It's going to be set about a handful of years beforehand. from the new trilogy. So it's going to be set about a handful of years beforehand. We're not exactly sure, but it's going to be based,
Starting point is 00:13:29 inspired by the World War II pilots, like that kind of side of things. Okay. It's going to also feature new characters mainly, but voice cast also includes Oscar Isaac and Gwendolyn Quisty. Gwendolyn Quisty. Gwendolyn Quisty. As Captain Phasma Renard.
Starting point is 00:13:44 It should be called The Resistance. Yeah. Or, subtitle, or How the Rebellion Really Dropped the Ball. I mean, they defeated the Empire. Yeah, big time. How'd they drop the ball? Well, it wasn't actually their fault. There's a bunch of books that kind of highlight what happens,
Starting point is 00:13:58 and this is going to flesh it out more. But basically, there's a new system of government. There's a new republic. Sounds cool. And the First Order are kind of this fractured, splintered group who's kind of hanging out in the outer rim and the unknown regions of space. Okay. And Mon Mothma says, we're going to demilitarize. Oh, it's Mothma.
Starting point is 00:14:16 Yeah, it's Mothma. It's always Mothma, isn't it? It's not always Mothma. It's mostly non-Mothma, but I'm willing to lay all the blame at Mothma's feet. Because you know what kind of precedent are you setting? the empire had an army that was came up from the republic and then so it's the first order slowly building up their resistance this is also in the poe dameron comic because the war only really kicks off in the force awakens there's stuff that happens before but that's where it kind of really kicks off and because did they not know did they did they not notice that the outer rim just
Starting point is 00:14:45 these dudes just putting together millions of people in stormtrooper outfits and building tie fighters did they miss all that apparently so okay yeah and recruiting and and all that because they're not really seen as the empire they've seen as like a oh it's just like a fun little thing that's not what are you thinking? Yeah, exactly. You should have crushed them mercilessly. Yes. You should have crushed them mercilessly and then held your military might over their civilian population. Correct.
Starting point is 00:15:14 And then. You need a big weapon that shoots a big laser. Exactly. They should have built, the resistance should have built a big laser satellite system. So good. Yeah. But a lot of, a lot of the first order is made up of
Starting point is 00:15:26 former imperial oh I've just I've just learned I've just realised the folly of war just then I've figured it out you become what you hate
Starting point is 00:15:33 I didn't want to point it out to you because I feel like that's something you needed to come to by yourself I thought you were going to ring me in the middle of the night in like a week's time James
Starting point is 00:15:41 I've just realised the folly of my ways yeah what do you think about this though it's also going to be anime kind of inspired yeah i'll watch one episode yeah the other thing is this might be set in a time where ben solo is still with luke skywalker oh which could be an interesting that's only going to lure us in yeah so okay you could be getting all sorts of returning characters because mark hamill could know, he does voice. Harrison Ford.
Starting point is 00:16:07 He can only do the Joker voice, though. When he's doing voiceover, he can only do the Joker voice, so it's not going to be good. Actually, he did a Luke Skywalker recently for Forces of Destiny, a little cartoon where he plays young Luke Skywalker, but he still sounds real old. Cool. Still a bit of fun, though.
Starting point is 00:16:23 That is fun. Man, I can't believe Mon Mothma binks this so badly. Yeah. She Jar Jar Binks'd it so hard. She was there for the rise of the bloody empire. The last one, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:33 So I guess she was like, well, I don't want another army for... So Princess Leia or General Leia is the one who kicks off the resistance because she's like, I see where this is going. Yeah, right. So she makes this group
Starting point is 00:16:43 which then becomes the only thing left yes all the other planets come on all I'm saying Mothma just look I mean build up your army put them in nice clean white uniform so everybody knows they're the good guy exactly yeah maybe your elite soldiers in red so So they can stand out. Yeah, exactly. You know where a good old-fashioned leader is. I agree. Just hire a bunch of British people to be in charge.
Starting point is 00:17:12 British people in charge. They know administration. They know it. Totally fine. The other bit of Star Wars news is... Build a Darth Vader. The other bit of Star Wars news is... I thought we already knew this,
Starting point is 00:17:23 but it was widely reported this week that Alden Eichhorn Reich has signed on for three films. I didn't know that. Unless you've told me in this podcast. I may have. Somebody send Mason that clip. If you could.
Starting point is 00:17:35 But we may not have talked about it. Or make your own clip where you're telling, make a fake clip where you're telling me and I'm like, oh, okay. I'll definitely remember that. You can even use this. You can even use what I what i just said wait let's get a clean one okay oh i'll definitely remember that i'm smart hi buddy you're watering plants he was watering plants yeah cool no you can't be on the podcast. This is for cool dudes only.
Starting point is 00:18:05 Your social media reach isn't big enough. How many Twitter followers? Follow me on Instagram. Nick Maso. N-I-C-K-M-A-S-E-A-U. Hit him up on the gram. Hit me up on the gram. So, people are saying...
Starting point is 00:18:17 I appreciate your kid letting me get that plug in for my Instagram. So, what was I saying? Han Solo, three films. Three films. Yeah, so I don't necessarily think this means we're going to get another Han Solo film
Starting point is 00:18:29 or a Han Solo trilogy. It really depends how this is going to go. I think they just work in trilogies now. Yeah, I don't think so necessarily. And you also need to remember,
Starting point is 00:18:36 Mason, that a lot of the cast of Rogue One, one of which was there when we saw Infinity War for some reason. That's right. Which we'll talk about in a bit.
Starting point is 00:18:44 But, they, they all signed up. They all signed alert most of them are dead yeah and i think it just leaves room if hey if you make a film you know five years down the line and it's set in this era you can bring back jina jina so yeah you know or if you need it if you need a force ghost or a flashback or something we can chuck you in there you want to put Forrest Whitaker back in a film? That's right. To save the Empire or save the dream or whatever he was up to? Or to look in two directions at once?
Starting point is 00:19:11 What if he needs to look at a Death Star and a Star Destroyer at the same time? He definitely can do that. If only someone were here to save us and do that. Here he is. I'm sorry, that was mean. That was quite mean. Yeah. He's a great actor.
Starting point is 00:19:24 I enjoy him. I was going to run with it, but I'm like... Yeah, no, just let me dig my own grave. It's fine. The other thing is, and you just watched this, there was a Han Solo featurette for the bloody Han Solo film. We also see a bit more of his origin where he's a stormtrooper. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:42 You know what we do see, which I feel we've never never seen before is somebody driving a speeder just on a street yeah right i've never seen that he's just cruising down a freeway like a land speeder i mean i guess we see it in um we can see it in the prequels but they don't look real no and we also saw it in the original star wars because luke's cruising down tatooine way doesn Nah, I don't like it. You don't like it? This is the first urban speeder event we've ever seen, I feel. Wow. Yeah. Don't you remember in Attack of the Clones when they're flying through the city? It looks like garbage. No, but there's a bit where
Starting point is 00:20:14 Anakin Skywalker jumps off and he falls like a thousand feet and Obi-Wan's like, oh, I hated when he does that. And then he just grabs a passing ship and he's fine. Looked so good. But this is, think about it, this is the first time we've ever seen somebody drive a land speeder like it's a passing ship and he's fine looked so good but this is think about it this is the first time we've ever seen somebody drive a land speeder like it's a car like it's a car or a hot rod in this case yeah you know i always also thought was interesting about this
Starting point is 00:20:33 he looks like he has some kind of stormtrooper origin yeah i think it's gonna i think it's gonna start with him being recruited he's gonna look like he was wearing an ewok outfit yeah it looked like he was in they were like okay we're gonna disguise you as an ewok um just stay a long way away so they think you're small on your knees yeah shoes on your knees yeah but i think it's gonna start with he gets recruited and they're like you're gonna have a great adventure you're gonna be in the imperial navy or whatever and then he's sent to nimbin which is that planet from that now nimbin is the place in new south wales where you can smoke weed every day no it's also Star Wars planet. Oh, you've made a mistake, Lucasfilm.
Starting point is 00:21:07 You've made a very big... The memes are coming, Lucasfilm. Or is it Nimbarn? I can't remember. It's irrelevant now. Remember that comic with the Caravan of Garbage we did about the lost Star Wars sequel?
Starting point is 00:21:17 Yeah. And they go to that mud planet? Yep. That's this planet. Oh, wow. So I think he goes there and he's like, this sucks and is bad
Starting point is 00:21:23 because I'm in this weird mud world. For anybody who doesn know nimbin is a town i think in new south wales where everybody like it's it's a town themed entirely around smoking weed which is weird that the cops don't just shut it down i'm gonna say because it's not legal is it no yeah yeah interesting anyway nimbin nimban yeah so also i thought it was interesting that finn was a stormtrooper yes interesting that Finn was a stormtrooper. Yes. And he was also a stormtrooper. So they got something in common.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Yeah. It's like poetry. It rhymes. Sure is. Didn't we always know he was a stormtrooper? We knew he was Imperial. Okay, right. But he's, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:21:55 We'll see. He looks more like a scout trooper. Yeah. That's good. Yeah. That's good, Mason. He does. He looks like one of those guys who pilots a, like a muddy version of a guy who pilots
Starting point is 00:22:03 one of those walking things. Yes. Yeah. Very good. All right. Because the Scout Troopers wear the mask. Right. It's the latest.
Starting point is 00:22:11 Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Anything else on Star Wars? It looks all right. It looks fun. Yeah, it does. But it did feel like all the talking points.
Starting point is 00:22:21 Because we cut from footage to the actors talking about, oh, what do you think about Han Solo? And it feels very much like, well, he's a lovable rogue, isn't he? He does what he wants, and we respect that. He does all sorts of plans you don't think are going to work with him. They do work. It feels very... It sounds like someone you call for a job interview.
Starting point is 00:22:43 You call their references. Yeah, right. What's he like? He's got some crazy ideas, but they always work out. But he's very punctual, isn't he? He's never been stabbed on a gantry. I can say that for a fact. That's right.
Starting point is 00:22:53 I can't speak for his future. Yeah. Great. What do we got here? S.J. Clarkson has been hired as the first female director to direct a Star Trek film, which means the Quentin Tarantino one isn't happening at this point. Okay.
Starting point is 00:23:09 Which, yeah, it's fine. Did anyone ever really think that was going to happen? I thought there was a chance, yeah. She's mostly done TV stuff. She's British, so she's done a bunch of... Think of a British thing, she's probably done that. Heartbeat. Yep.
Starting point is 00:23:23 Marmite ads. Toffee. An probably done that. Heartbeat. Yep. Marmite ads. Toffee. An ad for that. Bovril. An ad for Bovril. She's probably directed an ad for Bovril. What is Bovril? Is it like a brown mix?
Starting point is 00:23:34 It's like a hot meat drink. Yeah, I know. It's like, do you want a breakfast drink that's just hot meat? No. It's like gravy, but you drink it out of a glass. Anyway, she's directed that. There'd be so much weird residue on the glass. Yeah, it'd never come out.
Starting point is 00:23:49 You'd wash the glass and then you'd be like, well, time for a cup of coffee. Oh, meat coffee. So she's also worked on, she directed an episode of The Defenders, Jessica Jones and Orange is the New Black. So she's got some good stuff behind her. Yeah, she seems like a solid choice. Okay. I guess we'll just see how this bloody goes, Mason. It'll be interesting because it'll come in like...
Starting point is 00:24:10 She's going to be put into the Star Wars machine. Yes. Like this isn't... Star Trek machine. Star Trek machine, I'm sorry. Yeah. See, that's the thing. I would say Star Wars, like it'd be...
Starting point is 00:24:21 You know how like in Hollywood, if a guy makes a movie that's bad and it doesn't do well, they're like, yeah, give him another movie. Whereas if a woman makes a movie that's bad, they're like, she's gone forever kind of thing. It's interesting to put someone into like a franchise or a big system and go, okay, here's an established universe and established continuity let's give it to a female director and now we'll see like how are they going to react if it does well or poorly that's a good question fascinating to know well i think it's a it's a different era now
Starting point is 00:24:55 so as we're saying you know like the director of the new the new gods film is female yep there's wonder woman obviously woman's female so i think i think we're gonna say obviously but i only just remembered it but you said it with such confidence mason bovril is the trademark name of a thick and salty meat extract paste similar to a yeast extract none of that sounds pleasant does it that sounds very thick and salty meat extract paste yeah similar to a yeast extract extract vegemmite is pretty much that, though. But you don't drink Vegemite. But that's not the first result. The first result is a dictionary result.
Starting point is 00:25:31 Dictionary, Bovril, noun, trademark. A concentrated essence of beef diluted with hot water to make a drink. Like a broth? Use it in a sentence. Could she bring her Bovril up and drink it while having a chat? That makes a lot of sense. And now we'll never speak of Bovril ever and drink it while having a chat? That makes a lot of sense. And now we'll never speak of Bovril ever again. Disagree.
Starting point is 00:25:49 Yeah, we'll probably mention it next week as well. You should have Maceo's Bovril Corner. I find fun facts about Bovril. I've never had Bovril. Maybe it's delicious. I love gravy. You do love gravy. I would drink gravy by itself if people let me.
Starting point is 00:26:02 This would be more popular if it was good. Yeah, that's a good point, actually. Don't you think? Australia would have bovril. Yeah. Because, Mason, as someone who's travelled, I've been to the UK, and nobody's ever offered me a hot cup of bovril. Bovril.
Starting point is 00:26:14 Maybe it's like the... Oh, yeah, no, that's true. Like, if it were more popular, we'd either have it, or it would be used as a joke on tourists. Yeah, exactly. Like Vegemite for us, where we're like, hey, try some Vegemite. spread it on as thick as you like what if you had a bovril and chips and hot chips yeah okay you think that would work yeah we should get some bovril on the pod let's do a bovril pod i wouldn't mind bovcast all right let's try some bovril live on the podcast okay
Starting point is 00:26:39 i'll order some bovril okay actually can you order some bovril and then we'll do some bovril you can probably get it at the weird British section of the supermarket. That section that nobody goes to. Yeah, I'll check. Good. I'll check today. Okay, what do we got here? We also got an image from Glass, which is the sequel to Unbreakable and Split.
Starting point is 00:26:57 It's the Shyamalan universe coming together. Finally, his comic book vision that he definitely envisioned from the very get-go. Day one. That he made one, and then he waited waited 15 years and then he made another one. And then next year he made another one again. You know, that old cinematic universe. Playing the long game. Playing the long game.
Starting point is 00:27:16 I respect it. He knew this was going to happen. He absolutely did. He knew there was going to be a superhero movie explosion. Correct. Did he though? Maybe he did though. No, he didn't.
Starting point is 00:27:23 Okay. All right then. I i mean good on him though yeah because i quite like split i mean he kind of and yeah he predated most he predated the majority of the superhero boom correct with the unbreakable and you love unbreakable i love unbreakable and helivator and devil in a lift yeah devil in a lift yeah Yeah, devil in a lift. Yeah. So the image that was released, it was taken on a phone in a thing. It's Samuel L. Jackson in a purple, shiny trench coat, I guess. Shirtless James McAvoy covered in veins and Bruce Willis in a rain hoodie. Nice.
Starting point is 00:28:00 The green rain hoodie. Has this got you excited for this Universe Mason? I kind of would like to see what they're doing with it. I mean, I don't know if the outcome is going to be good. I don't know if the execution is going to be good. Wow. But I would like to see where this, like what has happened to this universe in the last, what, decade and a half? Yeah, right, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:20 Can Bruce Willis do it? Can he pretend like he's not bored out of his mind? No. Maybe. Every now and then he does. Can Bruce Willis do it? Can he pretend like he's not bored out of his mind? No Maybe Every now and then he does Yeah, I mean I imagine he enjoys working with Samuel L. Jackson We all do
Starting point is 00:28:31 They probably meet up every decade and hang out That's cool I was going to say They don't probably catch up that much But yeah, every decade Every decade I'd buy that Yeah
Starting point is 00:28:39 No, I'm interested to see where this goes But we will see This is another thing I'm interested to see where it goes, Mason. I'm ready. We've got a synopsis for the new Predator film directed by Shane Black. Oh, yes. Predator will tackle the idea of genetic mutation of predators, right? Yeah, because they're adding to their own DNA or something?
Starting point is 00:28:57 That's the thing these days. You've got a Jurassic World. You've got to throw in some DNA. You've got to rampage. You've got to throw in DNA. You've got to throw in CRISPR. Annihilation throw in some bloody dna in a weird bubble or whatever so okay here we go from the outer reaches of space to a small town street to the small town streets of suburbia the hunt comes home in shane's blacks blah blah now the universe's most lethal hunt is the strongest
Starting point is 00:29:20 mutter and deadlier than ever before having genetically upgraded themselves with dna from other species. When a young boy accidentally triggers their return to Earth, good one, idiot, and the ragtag crew of soldiers and a disgruntled science teacher can prevent the end of the human race. Sounds fun, man. Apparently, is it Gary Busey's son is going to be in this?
Starting point is 00:29:37 He is, Jake Busey. Yeah. And he's the son of the guy from Predator 2. Is he the disgruntled science teacher? I hope so. No, he wouldn't be. He'd be like a crazy CIA guy. Did Gary Busey die in Predator 2. Is he the disgruntled science teacher? I hope so. No, he wouldn't be. He'd be like a crazy CIA guy. Did Gary Busey die in Predator 2?
Starting point is 00:29:49 There's no way he didn't die. Did he die in that weird... He would have died in the weird coal warehouse, yeah. Plant or whatever. Oh my God, Jake Busey looks exactly like... Because I only remember Jake Busey from The Frighteners, which is a Peter Jackson film, which is quite good. And yeah, he looks just like him. And he's also in Starship Troopers. No, he is a Peter Jackson film, which is quite good. And yeah, he looks just like him.
Starting point is 00:30:05 And he's also in Starship Troopers. No, he is a disgruntled science teacher. No, I don't think you'll... I think you'll be CIA, man. No, I think he's gone in a different direction. This is my hit prediction. Hit predict. I reckon that he...
Starting point is 00:30:17 Get ready for a hit predict, everybody. I think because he's wanted to stay out of that world because his dad was killed. No, I think because his dad's a dummy he's going to be a dummy too ah okay cool yeah alright but you might be right Mason
Starting point is 00:30:29 yeah but also I mean if your dad was killed by predators you'd probably want to join the CIA and track down predators that's what I'm saying
Starting point is 00:30:36 yeah or be a science teacher yeah either yeah yeah that's what you're saying do we know any other cast members who else in the cast
Starting point is 00:30:42 could be a science teacher Key or Peel is in it oh he could be a disgruntled science teacher? Key or Peel is in it. Oh, he could be a disgruntled science teacher. Definitely. Key or Peel. Yeah. 2018 cast. I think Key more than Peel. Boyd Holbrook, who was the villain from
Starting point is 00:30:55 Logan. Yep. Olivia Munn. Okay. She could be disgruntled. Trevante Rhodes. It's Keegan-Michael Key. Sterling K. Brown He's great Thomas Jane This is a good cast Alfie Allen
Starting point is 00:31:08 Who plays Lily Allen's brother Yeah that's right He plays Lily Allen's brother Correct Yvonne Strethovski Who's been in a bunch of stuff Babylon
Starting point is 00:31:16 No wait not Babylon 5 Bloody Battlestar Correct Edward James Olmos Olmos Also Battlestar Yeah and it's another Oh there's going to be
Starting point is 00:31:24 A Battlestar corner Looks like Battlestar On the set Oh it's another... Oh, there's going to be a Battlestar corner on the set. Oh, and Jacob Tremblay, the kid from... I'm stuck in a room with Brie Larson. What's real? You seen that one? No, but it sounds good. It's a good film. You've sold it to me on that.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Hello. Yeah, it's good. Speaking of Brie Larson. Yeah. Do you want to hold on to that thought? Yeah, we'll hold on to it. Oh, no, because do you want to do the news now for that? Because I was going to lead that into Affinity War.
Starting point is 00:31:46 Oh, let's do it. We can do it now. Whatever you want, man. Okay. All right, let's do it now. Okay. Okay. Anyway, what do I think about Predators?
Starting point is 00:31:51 Sounds good. Okay, good. I don't care what the plot is. Just have Predators fighting people. Yeah. No, no, that's a mistake in a Predator film. You've made a mistake there, Mason. What is that?
Starting point is 00:32:01 There has to be more of it. There has to be a twist on something. You need interesting characters. You can't just have predators fight people disgruntled science teacher yeah that's fine but i'm saying do you think they'll use science at some point to trap a predator no really i think they will yeah they will i think i think one of those predators gonna get a beaker full of acid at some point to the face right in the face but it also said genetic mutations what do you think is going to come off them? Tendrils. Tendrils.
Starting point is 00:32:26 Ah. Squid arms. Dog feet. Do you think we're going to get one? Do you think we're going to get like five like cool individual predators? Like one will have tendrils and there'll be a really big one and there'll be a really little one. Maybe, yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:41 And a dog one. And a dog one. I want one that has dog legs on its back so if it gets fall, falls over it can run away. Put itself back up again. Or just run away. Yeah, yeah, cool. And a dog one. And a dog one. I want one that has dog legs on its back so if it falls over it can run away. Put itself back up again. Or just run away. Yeah, yeah, cool, nice. Yeah. Just skitter away.
Starting point is 00:32:51 That's what I'd do if I had to pick something that I could enhance myself with. Dog legs on the back. Dog legs on the back, yeah. Yeah, nice. Yeah. Now let's do Captain Marvel
Starting point is 00:32:58 closer to the other thing. Yeah, cool. Okay, there's a Watchmen casting call for the Watchmen TV series. You ready for this? Yeah, I'm ready. Here's the cast list that they want Angela Abraham
Starting point is 00:33:07 African-American female cop Independent and intelligent She's also a realist She's married to Cal Who she has a daughter with And is fiercely protective Second character Cal Abram
Starting point is 00:33:16 African-American male Who is a stay-at-home husband of Angela While he seems at home as king of the castle And a husband and father It's clear that his past has a different story to tell. Character number three, looking glass. A good-looking cop. The native Oklahoman isn't simple as his rural accent makes him appear to be.
Starting point is 00:33:35 A top interrogator and behavioral scientist. He also might be a bit of a sociopath. Panda. Just a panda. No. An ethnic desk cop He's cynical and tough But puts his job first
Starting point is 00:33:48 Not a friend of many He uses comedy to keep people at bay Don't we all mate Don't we all Fuck you Oh what Red Scare Track suit wearing cop
Starting point is 00:33:57 His Russian accent leads him to abrasiveness Pirate Jenny An androgynous and lustful bisexual cop. Hello. Jenny is an anarchist at heart. Jane Crawford, the wife of police officer Judd. Joan Crawford, actress. Jane is a veterinarian who is sharper than her guarded persona lets on.
Starting point is 00:34:18 Are these people all superheroes? And the last one is old man, a former cop, still an imposing figure despite his age. That's the cast for the new Watchmen series. I can't wait to see this veterinarian subplot. Someone's got dog legs on the back. I was going to say, look, we can't save your dog, but we can amputate its legs and put them on your back. I mean, this is the 80s,
Starting point is 00:34:40 so science has not advanced to the point where you can run on them, but you can just have floppy old dead dog legs on your back so this is clearly they've said before it's not a direct adaptation yeah do you think this is just going to be set within the world of watchmen but kind of only really slightly linked to what's going on in the comics i hope not but at the same time i feel like all of those people are on the cusp of becoming superheroes right yes or this could also be fake this could be fake descriptions for actual watchman characters that's true but they're probably not they're all oklahoma cops it would seem yeah yeah watchman's not even set in oklahoma no this
Starting point is 00:35:23 no it is okay cool, cool. Great. Yeah, I don't know what's going on here. I mean... Are you sure this isn't the cast list for a remake of the musical Oklahoma? Hang on a sec. Yeah. You put your foot in it again, all right? Which of them... Was there a bisexual, lustful...
Starting point is 00:35:39 Yeah, there was a lustful, bisexual pirate of some sort. Was there a Russian-wearing... A tracksuit. A tracksuit. Yeah, yeah. Okay. You wouldn't call a character Red Scare and then not have him be a superhero or villain at some point. You wouldn't call a character an old man without making them a superhero either. That's very true.
Starting point is 00:35:57 Yeah. I don't know. We'll have to see. It's Damon Lindelof who did Leftovers. Yeah, Lost. Yeah. But he also did Leftovers, which is great. So benefit of the doubt, Mason.
Starting point is 00:36:06 And if you don't like it, you can bloody well lump it. I think some people of the Lost era have learned their lessons about just creating mystery box after mystery box. And some have not. Some have definitely not. Do you want to name names? J.J. Abrams has not. Who else has not? Damon Lindelof?
Starting point is 00:36:24 Remains to be seen. Did The Leftovers wrap things up? I didn't finish it. Yeah, it did. It's really good. Okay, cool. Okay, what have we got here?
Starting point is 00:36:31 Oh, you'll love this, Mason. Will I? Do you love the Fast and Furious universe? Kind of. Because things are about to get more fast and a little bit more animated.
Starting point is 00:36:38 Ooh. There's going to be an animated Netflix series that centers on Tony Toretto, a teenager following in the footsteps of his egg-in-a-vest-wearing uncle, Vin Diesel. Nice.
Starting point is 00:36:49 It's weird they put that in. Tony and his friends are recruited by a government agency to infiltrate an elite racing league. Oh, that sounds bad. Serving as a stunt. It sounds bad. For a notorious crime organization bent on more domination. I'm getting James Bond Jr. vibes from this. That's exactly what I was thinking.
Starting point is 00:37:03 Oh, no. I mean, it's a kid's show. Yeah, still. And it's set in I was thinking. Oh, no. I mean, it's a kid's show. Yeah, still. And it's set in the Fast and Furious averse. Yeah. Vin Diesel would probably show up and be like, Cuban Nos. He would love to be in that.
Starting point is 00:37:12 He would definitely do it. You know what probably happens? It's probably one of those, I hope, this isn't what's going to happen. This is what's going to happen, everyone. What's going to happen is, at the end of every episode, Tony Toretto,
Starting point is 00:37:24 the show ends, and then Tony Toretto hangs out of every episode, Tony Toretto, the show ends and then Tony Toretto hangs out with his uncle, Dom Toretto, in the garage and they talk about road safety. Please. And we all learn a lesson. It's going to be very Inspector Gadget, G.I. Joe, where at the end we learn a valuable lesson or a hint or a trick. So after you see a teenager drift through a gang member and tear his legs off in the
Starting point is 00:37:44 end, it's like, you know, drifting is not all it's cracked up to be. Exactly. That's right. Next week on Fast and Furious. Yeah. Ah, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. Exactly. You know, I love to drift, but I couldn't drift without the calculations from geometry.
Starting point is 00:38:00 So learn your geometry, kids. Also learn how to handbrake turn please just you ever done a handbrake turn no i've been in the car for one when it was happening it was not good i don't recommend it no any handbrake turn you can leave from alive is a good handbrake turn in my opinion yeah well this wasn't even a scenario where a handbrake handbrake turn was required oh i see somebody went hey watch this and then did a handbrake turn in the middle of the road. Great. Two out of ten.
Starting point is 00:38:28 Don't do it. That could have very easily ended with a flipped car. It felt like the car was going to flip. Yeah. Yeah. If I'd have been maybe a couple of kg heavier Mason, that car would have flipped. All right, what do we got here?
Starting point is 00:38:40 Last bit of news. Young Nick Fury has been spotted on location for the Captain Marvel film. Yeah. And you might not recognize him. Two eyes and a fro. Two eyes and a fro. It's not a fro. He's just got hair.
Starting point is 00:38:50 And it's a pseudo. It's a fro on the way. I don't think it's a fro on the way. All right. I think it's quite cropped. All right. Yeah. Cropped fro.
Starting point is 00:38:57 Cropped fro. He looks good. I haven't seen Samuel L. Jackson with hair since he had that weird wiegand jumper yeah that's true i'm sure he's probably had other hair in between but what about did he have hair in the hateful eight he might have had hair he might have had wild hair he did but he also had he also had a hat on for a lot of it so that's why i'm not remembering yeah uh they did a good job job of making samuel jackson look young. I mean, he looks young anyway. But doesn't he?
Starting point is 00:39:26 He looks way younger. Also, that photo is kind of... It's from a distance. It's from a distance. But, I mean, yeah, he looks young. He looks good. He looks young. Yeah. So we'll talk more about Captain Marvel when we get into Infinity War.
Starting point is 00:39:38 But Kevin Feige also said that Moon Knight is on the horizon. And he said, does that mean five years from now, 10 years from now, 15 years from now? Who knows? It's like up in the air. And he's also keen to get a Nova film going as well. Great. Apparently Nova was going to be included in the first Guardians. Do you want like kid Nova?
Starting point is 00:39:55 No, I want classic Nova. And then? More classic Nova. And then? A Chevy Nova. And then? A gift wrapped with a bow outside my house. And then? Or a Chevy Nova. And then? The gift wrapped with a bow outside my house. And then?
Starting point is 00:40:05 A Chevy Nova. And then? The Nova, the station, the radio station? Oh, Nova 100, sure, yeah. Never more than two ads in a row, Mason. Wow, good for them. I think they changed that. Oh, yeah, there's heaps of ads now.
Starting point is 00:40:16 There's so many ads. It's all ads now. It's mostly ads. All right. What do you think about that, though? Nova Paris Kneebone. Very good. Famous sportsman.

Starting point is 00:45:49 Wherever you look, Mason, it'll find you. Yeah. Wow. Is that where the sun goes? East to west, yeah. East to west. Okay. What does that mean?
Starting point is 00:45:56 It rises in the east, sets in the west. My understanding is it goes up and then it goes straight back down again. Oh, there's a bit of that, yeah. Because it's like a basketball. It's like a basketball. That's true, yeah. Good. Yeah.'s like a basketball. It's like a basketball. That's true, yeah. Good.
Starting point is 00:46:05 Yeah. Good. All right. So it's... The sun got Apollo, throws the sun over the earth. Good, good. And then it comes back down
Starting point is 00:46:15 and he catches it at the end. Very good. Sometimes you think he's not going to nail it, but he nails it every time. Is he always caught it? Yeah. What happens if he drops it? Does the sun break?
Starting point is 00:46:22 Yeah. And then his mum's going to yell at him. Because his mum's not buying him another son No, it's expensive and big The numbers are still coming in on the box office weekend, but it seems as if this is the biggest opening of a film ever Wow! So it's beaten The Force Awakens
Starting point is 00:46:39 at $250 million US, domestically if you live in the US and that's domestic for you. So that's $3 million more than The Force Awakens. And it's $630 million worldwide. Wow. Which is massive.
Starting point is 00:46:53 Do you think this trend, do you think this is going to be sustainable? Well, I was actually going to ask you that. Yeah. Are you asking me that though? We're asking each other at the same time. We're in a standoff of asking each other i don't think it is because i'm surprised it actually hit these numbers because it's so long yeah so you have to i mean it opened a little bit earlier in a bunch of places here's the thing i
Starting point is 00:47:14 think it's long and i think it's inaccessible if you've never seen one of these movies exactly like we talked about it's nonsense if you've never seen it if you missed it last week we last week we talked about all the previous marvel movies in more or less detail depending on how yeah interested we were in them but like and we were like okay what what is essential to watch going into you know the the next phase or each phase and what's essential going into infinity war if you hadn't seen any of the phase one marvel movies and you just saw Avengers, from context, you can pretty much pick up who everybody is and what their deal is and who's friends with who and what their relationships are like. And I guess that's partly a function of... It's a well-constructed movie and also there are far fewer characters than there are now.
Starting point is 00:47:58 This Infinity War has like 78 characters or something like that. Yeah, absolutely. And if you don't know... They are not holding your hand with this. No. If you don't know who's who. Yeah. And you know what?
Starting point is 00:48:07 I think that's a strength and also a weakness. Yeah. But someone who's a fan of the series, I appreciated that. I was like, I don't need a recap on who everybody is. It's like with a TV, I think they're treating this more like a TV show and they're not dumbing it down for people
Starting point is 00:48:21 who have been following this entire time. Yeah, right. Like, I don't want, this is Captain America who was frozen in ice and whatever every time it i like that it just went you know what keep up i think so i i i can completely understand people going into this and going well it makes no sense and it's just set up to whatever it wouldn't make sense no but yeah but at the same time i feel like this is kind of a reward for people who... Yes. I think there's a lot of good... Like, as someone who...
Starting point is 00:48:47 Look, I'm more than happy to see a movie and go, even if it's a franchise I like or whatever, and go, I didn't like this, I didn't think it worked or whatever. But I think this is a good reward for people who've stuck out and watched all these films. And I think there's a lot of payoff in it. Yes. And it's... A lot of Easter eggs. A lot of explosions.
Starting point is 00:49:03 I did an Easter egg video. Please check it out below, Mason. I will. It's thorough AF. You're not going to believe the stuff that I found. Yeah, right. But no, I completely agree. We're going to do non-spoilers.
Starting point is 00:49:12 Yes. And then spoilers. That being said, if you haven't seen it and you don't want to know anything, don't listen to any of this. Because we'll accidentally spoil something for sure. Yeah. Also, we've got a couple of letters about it at the end. So maybe skip a letter segment.
Starting point is 00:49:26 So maybe just come back to this if you haven't seen it as of yet. I mean, if you don't mind knowing a little bit, then obviously hang around. Oh, but what I was going to say is that I don't think, maybe second weekend of this movie or third or whatever, I think box office returns could, I mean, I'm almost certainly wrong, but like, I think they could drop off quite significantly. I agree.
Starting point is 00:49:44 When word gets around that, like, if you don't know these characters back to front, this is not going to make any sense. And also, next week is Deadpool 2. Yeah, right. And then a couple of weeks after that, it's Solo. Deadpool 3. Deadpool 3, correct.
Starting point is 00:49:56 So, like, this will easily hit a billion, probably a billion and a half, let's say, worldwide. But, yeah, I absolutely agree with that. The other thing I think, which is, I think it's also a smart play to make it like this because it forces i think it gets more people more invested in the universe because you have to know what's going on to understand it yeah right so the fans that you're getting on board go back and then also anticipate what's going on forward it's like a tv show like game of thrones you just have to keep up yeah for sure instead of being this one is accessible to everybody not every episode of
Starting point is 00:50:29 every tv show is accessible to everybody that's true i think that model is an interesting way to tackle this yeah yeah and i think for a lot of a lot of people who are maybe a lot of people will probably hear okay i used you know they might be like well i saw a couple of these movies and i like them and now if I want to, I hear that if I want this to make sense, I have to watch some more. They'll have to go back and go to like iTunes or Google Play or whatever
Starting point is 00:50:52 and buy or rent a whole bunch of them. I mean, also you'll get people who will just drop off and go, not for me. But I think more than likely you'll get a bunch of people like that. So I would say if I was to change the essential list, this really acts as a sequel to Guardians of the Galaxy, a lot of Thor Ragnarok, Civil War,
Starting point is 00:51:14 and more Doctor Strange than you'd think. Yeah, right. Which I enjoyed. This is a very Doctor Strange heavy movie. And he's doing more magic stuff. He's doing so much good stuff. He's doing magic's he's doing more magic so much good stuff he's doing magic he's doing proper magic bit of a bloody standout for me yeah right this character yeah i enjoyed the the interplay between him and tony stark like that's a good dynamic they're not
Starting point is 00:51:36 the same height either you know you know no cover batch is way taller cover batch is way taller and and robert downey jr is clearly wearing. Yeah. Or standing on a little box. We're just fine, whatever. Because when you see him, when you see Tony Stark standing anywhere, he's got these big bootlegs. He's got these big bootleg pants. Exactly. Because you've got to put the lifts in them.
Starting point is 00:51:56 The amazing thing about this is it brings together 10 years of storytelling and the visions of multiple directors. And you're bringing back actors from like, from 10 years prior. And it just makes me go, what do you think the story was? Ah, he's not a gummy! I thought you were going to miss it. I thought you were going to skip it again.
Starting point is 00:52:14 Not this time, Mason. All right, hang on. I got my Avengers Infinity War lanyard. Ah, mine's in the car. I forgot it. Ready to go. You know what I don't like about this lanyard? It's not laminated.
Starting point is 00:52:23 Okay, wow. You're so picky. Mason, if you're going to give me a laminated Make it a collector's item Horseshit Wow The lanyard doesn't reflect the film, unfortunately You can laminate it yourself Yeah
Starting point is 00:52:33 If I had to pick a lanyard Top one lanyard, Justice League Number two, this Because it's also got a little A on it A little foam A Number three, Ready Player One Yeah, for sure Number four, the lanyards that people gave to us at our live show.
Starting point is 00:52:48 At our live show, yeah. Which is really good. You know what? That could be number one. That's a gift. And they were laminated. And they were laminated. Yeah, good.
Starting point is 00:52:55 Anyway, so. Oh, a story else. All right, okay. So there's a guy called Thanos. Yes. And he's a bit mad. Yeah. And he wants to get.
Starting point is 00:53:04 Mad, angry or crazy mad? Both. Yeah. He's less angry mad though, isn bit mad. Yeah. And he wants to get... Mad angry or crazy mad? Both. Yeah. He's less angry mad though, isn't he? Yeah. He seems quite measured a lot of the time. Your kid? No, definitely not.
Starting point is 00:53:14 Thanos. Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But he's crazy mad. Yeah. And he wants to get all the Infinity Stones. Why? Because he can use them to smash stuff.
Starting point is 00:53:25 Yes. He can use them to smash stuff. Yes. He can use them to shoot a ray. He can shoot a ray. He can alter reality. But if he gets all six he can maybe shoot the biggest ray. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:32 Beat a ray bill. Shoot him right in the head. That's right. Yeah. And then he destroyed the universe but the other people standing his way are the Avengers. Well he doesn't want to
Starting point is 00:53:40 this is in the trailers as well like he doesn't want to destroy the universe. He wants to destroy half of the universe. Half the population of the universe. Should we just the trailers as well. Like, he doesn't want to destroy the universe. He wants to destroy half of the universe. Half the population of the universe. Should we just get into that in more spoilers, though? Yeah, we'll talk about it in spoilers.
Starting point is 00:53:50 Did you like it? Yes. You've seen it twice? I have seen it twice. It's... Because I saw it twice as well. Oh, right. It's a bloody...
Starting point is 00:53:57 It's a slog to see it a second time. Is it? I didn't feel like it was a slog. No, no, not in a bad way. As in, there's a lot going on. And I feel like I won't revisit this for a while. Because it's by the end, often of like part one of two, I feel like I could definitely watch another one of these straight away.
Starting point is 00:54:13 For this, I'm like, yeah, I'll take a year. Just to kind of let this sink in. And, you know, we'll have a fun little Ant-Man movie and then we'll have Captain Marvel and then we'll come back to this. Yeah, I think that's, yeah, I would say it's not like, oh, I'll just pop this on and. Is that all we're getting in between here and Avengers 4? Yep. Just the two movies.
Starting point is 00:54:31 Just two. Ant-Man in like two months and then Captain Marvel in March. Nice. Yeah. Wow. Right before. Wow. Bit of a drought.
Starting point is 00:54:38 Yeah. I know. We'll have to do with Deadpool and X-Men movies. Oh man. But I don't think that's a, I don't think that's an accident. I think they want to leave this gap. Yeah, for sure. This is a real Empire Strikes Back gap.
Starting point is 00:54:52 It's exactly like that. Empire Strikes Back gap. But that was three years. Well, it's not. We don't have to do that anymore. No, that's true. What a nightmare that would be. Well, I mean, it's technically part one of two.
Starting point is 00:55:03 We don't know what the fourth part is called. Do you feel that this movie stands on its own and do you think the nature of its ending impacts the film or will the second one also change the perspective of this one? I think that... I think this one definitely stands on its own. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:24 If you've seen everything before. Yes, for sure. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, yeah. It's a completely independent film, provided you've seen the prior 18 movies. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, so you think...
Starting point is 00:55:33 So you didn't feel like, oh, I've been... Like this ending kind of robbed me of a proper finale and... No, no, no. Yeah. But again, I went into this being 99% sure that this was going to end on a cliffhanger of some sort.
Starting point is 00:55:46 Yeah, right, yeah. And did it? Yes. All right. Spoilers. Yeah. There's also, and this is smart, there's very few new cast members in this. Yes.
Starting point is 00:55:55 We can't really talk about the new ones, can we? No, not really. One of them I didn't really care for at all. The acting of it seemed a bit like, what's this about? But it's all, it's all existing characters. And what I thought worked really well in this was that the team ups between
Starting point is 00:56:14 people you'd never really seen before. Yeah. Like Tony Stark, Dr. Strange, Tony Stark and the guardians. Yep. I really enjoyed cause he's just,
Starting point is 00:56:23 there's a moment where they're having, there's a clip of this online where they're having an argument about what to do when thanos arrives and there's just a moment where he just takes a pause where he's just like and there's just like yeah you can just see it in his eyes and he's like i can't deal with this the avengers and the guardians when you think about it have wildly differing methodologies for for fighting and levels of intelligence yeah yeah look they're not really a spoiler but at one point somebody says tell them about the dance-off to save the universe exactly yeah so the stuff like like because you can just say it just looks like he's the most
Starting point is 00:56:56 important like the most terrible man in the universe is coming and this is what i've got yeah to deal with to deal with this. Yeah. But what else was I going to say? Yeah. So were there any other team-ups that you liked in particular? Let me think. Well, see, we can't really get into them without spoiling my feel. There's a couple of, yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:15 Okay. Well, let's come back to that then. What about, say, visually the way it looks? Terrific. We saw it on IMAX. Yeah, we did. Would you say go out of your way to see it on IMAX? Look the second time i saw it at a regular cinema quite close yeah i didn't feel i think it was fine i didn't feel robbed the second time around but it was a good way to
Starting point is 00:57:32 experience it yeah the first time do you get that moment at the start of imax when all the numbers are counting down and for a second you feel like you're gonna fall into the screen is that just me yeah no you're right you're absolutely right i just had a terrible flashback to it just now. Yeah, right, yeah. In terms of, yeah, I think the way it, it's just very grand in scale and budget. Yeah. And there's not really, I feel like there was less, and there's obviously a lot of CGI,
Starting point is 00:57:59 but it feels less kind of green screen as some Marvel films can in the past. Yeah, right. There's probably a bit, there's a bit like stuff with Thor when he's maybe flying about, which might look a bit like, oh, that's a CGI man or whatever. But on the whole,
Starting point is 00:58:10 it feels, it feels really good. I liked a lot of the new designs and stuff like the new, the new war machine design is really good. He's got a whole new like weapons array that looks really super cool. I don't love the new Iron Man suit. I think it's a bit like slick yeah i think maybe i think maybe i think maybe in the sequel we might go to something else yeah wait spoilers
Starting point is 00:58:35 well yeah yeah but we might not yeah that's right yeah but i think it looks it looks very slick i think for the most part because it's it is it's not a spoiler to say it's like an anarch based no okay right and there's a moment and there's moments in it where you know he's getting bits taken off it yeah and then it rebuilds itself immediately but then it's just it's like an hourglass like it's being like whittled down yeah yeah which i quite like but there's the most part, I think it looks pretty great. Yeah. But there's a moment the first time you see it
Starting point is 00:59:07 where the mask forms and it looks terrible. Exactly. It's the worst effect I've ever seen in any of these movies. It looks like a, like a fade you do
Starting point is 00:59:15 on an After Effects. And that's the thing, like you see him, you see him walking down and it forms up and you see the nanotech like expand and it looks great.
Starting point is 00:59:23 And then they just went, oh, let's just cheap. The mask is just clasper. Let's just cheap out on this last second. It was so odd. So weird, yeah. Yeah. But because we talked about this in the Winter Soldier commentary, the good thing about this suit is you can just peel back the helmet completely.
Starting point is 00:59:36 So you're not just talking through a flipped up mask. Which looks stupid. So you can get all his hair. Yeah, yeah. You can get all his face. So good. Everything's got to go in there. Yep.
Starting point is 00:59:45 Yeah. So what about the Spider-Man suit do you enjoy the iron spider suit yeah it's pretty yeah i like it a lot of people are kind of iffy on it but yeah i think you're right i think you end up being right about his suit his original suit i think it's only got web shooters yeah i mean we don't really get a chance for him to do anything else with it yeah this is also in the trailers because he gets given the iron spider suit. But I think you're right. I think all that tech is not in it. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:08 I think he's just got like a comm link. Yeah. And maybe a heads up display or something. Yeah. But the rest is just... It's all... Because that's what he works best with. That's right.
Starting point is 01:00:15 Webshooters and a heart. That's right. Which I liked. Yeah. Okay. What about action sequences? So good. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:21 Pretty solid, I think. The only thing I think was really lacking from the action sequence is these guys did the winter soldier yes and civil war there wasn't really that hand-to-hand no punchy there was a lot of CGI things and there was some hand-to-hand yeah a little bit early on there's some early but there's also some yeah it's hand-to-hand between CGI people and it looks good yeah it does look good. But I mean, this isn't... I guess, you know, Winter Soldier and Civil War were all about, like, real dudes
Starting point is 01:00:51 just crashing into one another. And that looked great. But this movie is more about people shooting big old rays at each other. But when they are shooting big old rays with each other, there's one sequence where there's a bunch of Avengers in space and the Guardians fighting someone. Oh, yeah. And it's incredible. There's one sequence where there's a bunch of Avengers in space and the Guardians fighting someone. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:06 And it's incredible. It's just one, and they're all kind of piling on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you get to see all their different powers and there's a whole lot of magic happening. Yeah, yeah. It's really great.
Starting point is 01:01:16 So I think, well, this isn't really that kind of movie, but I guess if I had to complain, we didn't get that stuff. And I only said that because I really like it when they do it yeah
Starting point is 01:01:25 also this is a testament this movie is a testament to the trailers really there's a lot of Mr. X in that trailer boy is there there's a lot of pieces missing
Starting point is 01:01:34 there's some alterations done dialogue scenes and stuff changed slightly yeah absolutely sneaky yeah
Starting point is 01:01:41 but that's okay I kind of like being surprised me too I don't think I've ever been happier to be wrong at so many points yeah absolutely because we made you know by by because we do this we have to make a lot of predictions about these movies yeah and i really kind of would have been quite disappointed if i'd said okay well this character ends up like this and then it turned out that way i wouldn't be surprised i wouldn't be surprised or happy at all absolutely i completely agree.
Starting point is 01:02:06 Yeah. Because I think with Age of Ultron, we're pretty much on the money because it's like it was an identical robot army and whatever. And the weird thing is they snuck in an identical army in this. Yes. And I didn't notice until like two days later. Then it was like, oh, yeah, another army of like a thousand of the same thing. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 01:02:24 But it works because there's other things going on yeah how did you feel about the relative power levels of thanos i did not like it was very that's one thing i really i wouldn't even say people are saying this is a really great representation of this character and what a marvelous villain marvelous i didn't think he was that strong a villain yeah like either power wise like is he an idiot or is he just toying with people because but because he's throughout the this isn't a spoiler he's in the trailers he collects soul not soul stone so he collects infinity stones as they go but he only seems to kind of sometimes use them yeah but he can explode you or turn a gun to bubbles but he will fist fight also yeah it's strange isn't it yeah
Starting point is 01:03:07 yeah i don't know i don't know if yeah because we don't we i thought in this movie we'd see more of the internal monologue of thanos yeah right and his motivations and there is a lot of that but there's also there's a lot of there there are there are questions that i think the intelligent characters in these movies should have asked that they never asked about Thanos' motivations and his endgame and what he's going to do. There's points where characters face off against Thanos and there's time to have a back and forth. And at no point do they go, hey man, why not this? Why are you doing this? Here's another option kind of thing.
Starting point is 01:03:44 It seems very strange that at no point did anybody even ask him those questions. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, there was plenty of fighting, but there's also time in between the fighting where they could have had a bit of a chit and a chat. Exactly. Yeah. You know what's one thing they did do in this film? They fixed the timeline.
Starting point is 01:04:03 Oh, right. I'm not concerned about that at all. I don't care if Spider-Man took place eight years after or six years or ten. I care, Mason. I bet you do. Yeah. I know, because it just basically resets to be like, the movies come out roughly the year that they're set. Yeah, fair enough. And that's pretty
Starting point is 01:04:18 much it. Yeah. Stupid Spider-Man homecoming. That movie, I think, is great. Yeah. Ruining everything. Yeah. But what else have we got to talk? Oh, we've got to talk about this. Okay. Let's talk hair, Mason. Let's talk about hair.
Starting point is 01:04:29 He's got the best hair. Well, first of all, we've got to do the Black Widow hair. I think it's some of her best hair. I think it's good. I think I wasn't sold on it in the trailers, but I think it works in the movie for sure. What do you think about the colouring of Tony Stark's hair? Has he dyed it again? He's definitely dyed it.
Starting point is 01:04:46 Yeah, yeah. Does it feel inconsistent to you? I think, look, yes, but it does. But also, I think Robert Downey Jr. is tired of doing the beard. Yes. Because it's basically non-existent in this movie. Yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 01:04:58 He's like, nah, I'm not going to do it. You were tired of doing the beard as well, weren't you? Yeah, for sure. It's so much work. I think Captain America had a wig. That's okay. It looks good, though. It think Captain America had a wig. That's okay. It looks good, though. It looks good.
Starting point is 01:05:06 It's a good-looking wig. Because it's hard for hair to be that versatile. It absolutely is. You can't have the short hair that looks great and the long hair that looks great. It was so good. How does he do it? How does he do it?
Starting point is 01:05:16 I don't know how he does it. Okay, here's one thing that people are complaining about in this film. And I understand it, and I agree partly to a lot of it. And I understand it and I agree in partly to a lot of it. Okay. Is that because the way this film ends and what's set up for in the future, what's at play in the universe means the stakes aren't what you think necessarily. Like they're not that high.
Starting point is 01:05:40 They're really not. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But also I've seen the argument that the way the empire strikes back ends you don't really think that han solo is going to die and and you know and luke's going to give up absolutely and whatever but it just feels like in this scenario there's enough at play where you can see the solution even if you don't know exactly how it's going oh yeah for sure like empire strikes back you're right we know that good is going to triumph over evil eventually.
Starting point is 01:06:07 And this is the case as well in this... I was going to say logically, but logistically, this movie can't leave the universe in the state that it's currently in. It's covered in poo. That's what happens at the end. Exactly. That's right. You can't...
Starting point is 01:06:20 That's going to be... No amount of Stanleys pretending to be a janitor can fix this you know exactly yeah yeah well look we'll talk about it in spoilers momentarily
Starting point is 01:06:29 do you think that's to the detriment of the film no I still think the ending is still very impactful this upset a lot of people in both cinemas it's quite harrowing
Starting point is 01:06:38 yeah yeah right yeah now there was no shirtless moments which I know you wanted to see who else was going to join Ruffalo was shirtless oh there was but did he join the chest club no you wanted to see who else was going to join the Marvel. Ruffalo was shirtless.
Starting point is 01:06:46 Oh, there was. But did he join the chest club? No, he didn't join the Marvel chest club. He's fit enough for a man of his age. Oh, absolutely. He's doing great. He looks good, Mason. And there wasn't even a flattering angle. We see him shirtless.
Starting point is 01:06:55 No, that's right, yeah. But yeah, nobody else joins the chest club, I don't think. Yeah. I do wonder, though, before we get into spoilers, whether my enjoyment of this film will also hinge on how the next one plays out in the future because i feel like if the matrix wrapped up better matrix 2 would be a better film they explained the architect and whatever and bloody blah didn't the matrix wrap up quite well
Starting point is 01:07:17 the third one oh the third one oh i see right oh i see what you're saying you blanked them out yeah i did yeah yeah or even if you look at say the prequels if attack of the clones was great yep you'd look at phantom menace differently oh yeah i guess so yeah they're not good those films no that's true yeah so do you think that the third movie will will it will impact how this movie is received in the future uh yes i think so especially if especially if the the the finale of the next one maybe fixes things up too neatly yeah right yeah okay fair enough yeah well because if again there are some stakes to this movie we end on a cliffhanger who's gonna live who's gonna die what have you yeah most people are not going to be dead forever. No, that's right.
Starting point is 01:08:08 But some might. Some might. But if they go, you know what? Everything's fine and perfect at the end of Avengers 4 and we all go home happy, I think people might be like, well, why did we even bother with the Infinity War? Absolutely, yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:21 Anyway, it's the best movie ever for me. It's definitely the best movie ever. But I think he's a caveat mason. Don't bring someone to this if they don't know you. No, not at all. Because they will hate you and hate this. Yes, for sure. It's very long.
Starting point is 01:08:32 Unless they just like exploding spectacle and they don't ask any questions. Correct. Then they're probably not going to enjoy this. Unless they're really excited to see Alan Tudyk before the film starts. Which we did! Why was he there? I think it was there for Supernova. I think Supernova
Starting point is 01:08:46 was happening and he happened to be there. But he walked past. We didn't get a photo. He looked like he was on a mission. Also, I think he was coming to see the movie.
Starting point is 01:08:53 Why else would he have been there? That's a good question. Maybe he's watching that IMAX documentary on pandas or something. There's a moment where we kind of went, is he in this?
Starting point is 01:08:59 And then we went through all the lists in our heads. Is he in this one? Yeah. No, he's not. And I think everybody in the theatre, in the line to see it, went, oh my God, he's a normal man in every way. He is a normal man.
Starting point is 01:09:12 He's not too tall or too short. He's not, is he? No. He's like 5'9". He's right down the middle, that guy. He looks like he does in the movies. He does look like he does in the movies. He does.
Starting point is 01:09:24 He does. It's true. All right. Spoilers? Yeah, spoilers. He does look like he does in the movies. He does. He does. It's true. All right. Spoilers? Yeah, spoilers. What do you want to spoil first? Okay. A good place to start, I think, is Thanos' plan in the universe.
Starting point is 01:09:32 I would love to talk about that. And the flaws with that same plan. Yes. Go for it. All right. So his plan, so in the comic books, his goal is similar. He wants to wipe out half the population of the universe but his moats are different his moats are different his particular moats because in the comic books
Starting point is 01:09:50 he sees death personified as a beautiful woman with whom he is in love yeah and he thinks that if he kills half the people in the universe she will be impressed by that and will return his love because he's mad he's proper mad but that's like asking somebody to emcee your wedding and thinking you're doing them a favor you're just giving more work for death that's very true you've killed half the universe yeah that's true it's a good point that's all i'm saying but i mean yeah i mean it and i can't recall if she is impressed maybe she's not and that's why he changes his ways temporarily temporarily for a minute but in the but at least that makes sense as to why he wants to just kill everyone but i don't think that's a
Starting point is 01:10:29 good movie villain motivation it's not a good movie well not necessarily but i don't think this one is necessarily look we can work our way through this yeah but i think in the movie he wants to kill half the population because he sees the universe as finite and the resources as finite and so he sees you know uh untold numbers of people in the universe starving and and yeah having a bad time of it so he he feels that if he kills half the people in the universe then the universe will flourish again and everyone who remains alive will be happy yeah the problem with that is is he has the infinity gauntlet which can do anything yes and he chooses to kill everybody where what he could do
Starting point is 01:11:10 is double the resources of the universe or double the size of the universe or change every person in the universe so they don't require any sustenance to live what's that english meat drink a bovril he could get everyone a cup cup of Bovril every morning. Exactly. He could wake up to a hot cup of Bovril. That gives you all the fat and protein you need
Starting point is 01:11:29 and a glass of hot water or milk, apparently. And you said this directly because there was something during the film that wasn't sitting right with me and as soon as it finished
Starting point is 01:11:37 you said that exact thing and I went, of course. And the only reason I can think of is that is just the idea behind his motivation. Like that's how he justifies it to himself and to others. But he just wants to do it because he's just a prick.
Starting point is 01:11:53 I think he's just angry at the universe because the reason he wants to wipe out half is because that's how he proposed that to his planet Titan thousands of years beforehand and they didn't do it and everybody died except for him. Yeah, right. And so I guess he maybe just wants to prove that that works and that he was right. Yeah, maybe. Also, he can bring back his planet.
Starting point is 01:12:15 Yeah, he could. Well, we'll talk about it in a second, but I guess the question is he has a one-on-one with Tony Stark. He has a one-on-one with Doctor Strange. At no point do either of them go, if you can do anything, why can't you just do this? It's odd that I think neither of them asked that question. Yeah, right, yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:31 But I think maybe the issue is... And that's the thing, because in order for this movie to... In order for the sequel to fix everything successfully, the Infinity Gauntlet has to have the power to bring everybody back. It has to have the power to undo all these problems and fix everything. Or at the very least, the time gem does. You can stop him. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:12:55 So it must have that ability. Is the question that he cannot comprehend that it can do that? Yeah. Because he only uses it for like shooting rays yeah and like smashing stuff and teleporting and whatever yeah but potentially maybe it can only bring people back to life or do anything positive if you know it can do that right like the people like dr strange and stark they only think it's a weapon yeah so maybe they only think it's a weapon of mass. So maybe they only think it's a weapon of mass destruction. So maybe that's why they don't ask him about it.
Starting point is 01:13:29 Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, that's very possible. And maybe he only thinks it's a weapon of mass destruction as well. And it's going to take somebody else to be like, no, no, you can use it to fix everything. Like an Adam Warlock. I was going to say Adam Warlock, but it looks like from the post-credits that it's going to be Captain Marvel. It's going to be the person to drag in to fix this. Because she's cosmic.
Starting point is 01:13:49 Yes. Sort of. But she's probably in space from the way this movie ends. I think maybe she, yeah. Hang on, where should we go? There's so much to talk about. So much to bloody unpack. Do you want to talk about the post-credits now?
Starting point is 01:14:01 Let's talk about the post-credits now. I thought it was good. I enjoyed that Samuel L. Jackson got in his classic catchphrase again swearing again though like this is nonsense if you don't know not only the movies but also what's coming up and the comics there was a fraction of us because what took me a second yeah because i went wait alpha flight yeah because no wait it's the star um and then i'm like nova call and then the colors come down yeah oh it's it's handy he's got a beeper that has a space i enjoyed the fact that it was a beeper and she her movie's going to be
Starting point is 01:14:31 set yeah exactly that was funny and i like the fact that that the movies we're going to get in between now and in in avengers 4 yeah are gonna be set out of time or yeah absolutely um because if you it's a sequel if it's a sequel every half of everybody is yeah it's dead but i like see that's the thing the you can't do ant-man where half of the world is dead no for sure can't be well that's the thing like a lot of people have been saying oh you know oh but this what a what a grim ending because half the universe is destroyed. But you cannot... The next movie will not end with Thanos being defeated and everything else staying the same. Because then every story,
Starting point is 01:15:13 every subsequent Marvel movie past this, it'd just be people having conversations about how three billion people died. Yeah, absolutely. There'd be no... That's all anyone would ever talk about. They wouldn't be like, oh, the vulture's robbing a bank.
Starting point is 01:15:25 No, he's not. Why would he? He'd be at home sad because his family would ever talk about. They wouldn't be like, oh, the vulture's robbing a bank. No, he's not. Why would he? He'd be at home sad because his family's dead. Everybody he knows is dead. Nobody would do anything else. Absolutely. And I was going to save this question for later, but I think this works now. This is from Salford Citizen.
Starting point is 01:15:37 Surely the ending Infinity War will spill over to Netflix, TV shows and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. There's no way to get around it. Do you guys agree? Lester would like to say hi to the podcast dog. She's a real star of the show. She sure is. So do you think, I mean, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will definitely address this. Half the universe is dead.
Starting point is 01:15:53 Is it back this year? I believe so. Okay, right. And then off the back of that, I'm not sure that the Netflix shows will. No. I think they're so separate from the rest of it. I think they'll discuss it as incident 2.0 or something like that or not at all not at all right yeah because you you technically have to
Starting point is 01:16:11 you'd have to remove at least a couple main characters from each show foggy not foggy how's he gonna yell at matt murdoch for not being a good friend exactly yeah i don't think they'll mention i think they're they're also we don't really know when they're set. Yeah. So they could be set before this. That's true. Yeah. I think they might be, yeah. Bloody timelines. Bloody timelines.
Starting point is 01:16:31 Yeah, I think probably Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will address it and nobody else. Because Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. seems to run parallel with the movies. Yes. Oh, they used to do more of that. I don't watch it anymore, but yeah. I was going to say, regarding Captain Marvel and the post-credits yeah uh i like the fact that we don't get any indication as to where she is she might still be in the 90s like that might be a beeper that's operating through through time that's very possible it
Starting point is 01:16:57 might be some sort of relativistic time travel effect or something like that she might be in a pocket dimension could be in a poke dimension like There's also no explanation as to why she hasn't aged. I think she's in space. I think the Kree kind of blood in her or whatever's going on. Okay, right, okay. I think that's the reason. Cool, cool. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:17:13 Yeah, that's exciting. It is exciting! It's so exciting! Going forward from this, what I thought was really interesting was at the end when they kill everybody or half the universe, the people that are left are the core Avengers and a few extras. Yes uh so i think it's going to work well for the next movie instead of having to tie in ragnarok and guardians and civil war and whatever and bring it all together
Starting point is 01:17:33 you can focus on telling a more focused story with fewer characters and i think we're going to get something more akin to the first avengers movie not that obviously but i mean in terms of storytelling yeah well you don't have to jump around as much. And I think that's a good way to do it. Because really, the fact that this movie works by bringing together all these characters and storylines at all is amazing. Oh, absolutely. They couldn't even get a Justice League right.
Starting point is 01:17:57 Do you think that there's a reason why basically all the original Avengers are still alive? Yes, I think it's a swan song for a bunch of them. No, but I mean, do you think plot-wise? No, because I think earlier on when he's proposing, when Thanos mentions how he's going to wipe out half of Titan, he says that it was going to be completely at random. Yes.
Starting point is 01:18:17 And I feel as if what he's done here is completely at random and maybe it's destiny or whatever. Yeah, right. But I think him clicking his fingers, I don't think he went through individually and went, I'll say this person killed that person. I think it was just a, like,
Starting point is 01:18:30 I think he could have gone out in that moment. I'll probably not because I think he planned on retirement. for sure. But well, I tried to figure it out. I thought at one point it might've been, it seemed to me that anyone who stood... It felt to me like anybody who either defeated one of Thanos' generals
Starting point is 01:18:49 or anyone who stood against Thanos by themselves lived. You might actually be right. No, I don't think I am, though. Because at one point... A war machine does. Yeah. No, he doesn't disappear, does he? No, war machine doesn't disappear.
Starting point is 01:19:02 Hulk doesn't. Oh, no, he defeats one of his generals. Yeah. No, War Machine doesn't disappear. Hulk doesn't. Oh no, he defeats one of his generals. Yeah. But that stands up except for Scarlet Witch kills girl.
Starting point is 01:19:13 The girl from The Leftovers. Yes, exactly. Funnily enough, that show was also about a bunch of the population disappearing. But otherwise it works. Yeah. Because Captain America faces off against Thanos by himself. So does Iron Man. That was also like that trailer bit was just... Oh, so misleading.
Starting point is 01:19:31 I was talking about misleading stuff. Okay. Thor's eye. Thor's eye. Yeah. Does Rocket steal that eye from somebody in Guardians 2? I don't think so.
Starting point is 01:19:39 He gets given an eye by Groot. Yes. I think. But no, he says he gets... This is my Easter egg video. Check. It's so extensive, Mason. It took me forever to make.
Starting point is 01:19:47 It was like four solid days. I got so much footage that you'd think it wasn't on the internet, but I found it. Wow. But no, he says he got it from Contraxia, which is that robot prostitute planet from Guardians 2. Yeah. What were we talking about, though? You said the thing we were talking about. Oh, Mr. X.
Starting point is 01:20:06 There we go, yeah. Spider-Man's dying. They kind of take away the flakiness on his... They do. They also take away his spider extra arms. Yep, true.
Starting point is 01:20:15 In the Iron Spider suit. Because we see in the trailer him just sort of spiraling through exploding things on Titan. But in that sequence he's also saving Mantis and Drax. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Good, good. Yeah. I like that though because it didn't feel like... I mean, there was stuff things on Titan but in that sequence he's also saving Mantis and Drax yeah absolutely yeah good good
Starting point is 01:20:26 yeah I like that though because it didn't feel like I mean there was stuff that was left out but I liked that there were intentional misdirects
Starting point is 01:20:34 and ever since they did it in like Age of Ultron with like adding characters it kind of became or in Thor's eyepatch in Ragnarok is a better example it kind of became like
Starting point is 01:20:43 oh anything can happen yeah Bruce Banner defeats the big guy yeah by rocket putting a rocket arm on his leg
Starting point is 01:20:49 that was good I enjoyed that I like the idea that he stands on his own as Bruce Banner he doesn't need the Hulk to save him every single time
Starting point is 01:20:57 I thought that was cool why do you think the Hulk didn't want to come out was he embarrassed yeah because Thanos defeated him yeah
Starting point is 01:21:02 because all the Hulk has is punching yeah and Thanos didn't even break a sweat. It seemed like as well when he was fighting the Hulk, it seems like he's trained and the Hulk isn't. So he's hitting him in places where, like he hits him in the neck. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:17 You know, yeah. Speaking of necks. Yeah. At one point, this is how we're going to segue now. This is the next point is it yes um at one point uh i mean it's it's in it's in a reality bending sequence but gamora does stab thanos in the neck and he's clearly gonna die because what that does that introduces this element of how powerful is thanos really yeah because why didn't somebody else just stab him
Starting point is 01:21:40 in the neck later but can he be stabbed that in the neck? That's what I'm saying. Was that an illusion produced by the reality gem that he can die? Or is it at that point he's beyond that? I think it, because he had the reality gem, he just made that scenario. I think, well, he does get stabbed,
Starting point is 01:21:54 so he can be stabbed. Yeah. But I don't know whether. Yeah. I think that's a possibility. Yeah. Yeah. He's definitely less powered than he was was in the comics with it i feel yeah
Starting point is 01:22:07 or even or maybe not but the way he chooses to use it because thor breaks his defenses and gets an axe in him yeah when he's got the whole gauntlet yeah i think that it's mostly just a weapon that he happens to be attached to yeah right like if he doesn't if he can't close his fist it doesn't work yeah and he can still be injured yeah and. Each of the gems only does one specific thing, really, but it's the combination. Because you see him when he's torturing Nebula, you see that he's using two. I can't remember which ones, but it's like reality and power
Starting point is 01:22:38 or something, maybe. I don't know. I can't remember. But yeah, I think... So realistically, because in Guardians 1, it seems like any of the gems could destroy a planet or what have you, but I think that's just the power gem. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 01:22:51 So like all of them only have one... All of them only really have one specific use in this kind of thing. The thing about the reality gem is it's strange because it can turn a gun to bubbles and whatever and make an illusion. Yeah. Can it only alter small bits of reality? It seems that way. Because it seems like it can just do a hologram.
Starting point is 01:23:08 Yeah. And also change small little things. I think that is the case. I think it seems to be it's small scale manipulation of reality. Yeah. So like gun to bubbles or what have you. And it's a large scale illusion like he does with Nowhere, he does with Titan. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:24 And it's a large scale illusion like he does with Nowhere, he does with Titan. But I don't think he can actually alter reality on the universal scale until he gets them all together. Yeah, right. Okay. Okay, here's a question. This is from the emails. We do plan to put it at gmail.com. Dig in.
Starting point is 01:23:38 This is from Anderson Carmen. Good name. My wife says Avengers was dumb. Well, your wife's dumb. Wow. That's fair. No, that's fair. Okay, here's a question here's the
Starting point is 01:23:46 here's a question she brought up sure why don't they cut off Thanos' arm remember when they're struggling with him on Titan
Starting point is 01:23:54 because if you recall there's a point where on Earth the good guys are fighting the big dude and Wong just closes the portal on his arm that was my favourite
Starting point is 01:24:03 that's so good it's good right it's good stuff and? That's good stuff. And then Wong's invited to his wedding. Yeah. But I guess the question is why wouldn't you just do that to Thanos? Can you? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:24:12 I don't, we don't know if we know you, Tony Stark hits him square in the face and just nicks him. Yeah. So we don't really know. Why didn't they even try to just say, yeah, that's a good question.
Starting point is 01:24:22 Maybe they did though. Maybe they did. I don't know. A lot of this seems to be us justifying. Like, we have no prizing all of these things. I guess because it looked good, and I think it had an impact, and I liked it a lot. So I think a lot of these cases, I'm like, well, just say this happened. So, I mean, potentially, at one point, Strange tries it on him.
Starting point is 01:24:41 He's just like, I'll just use a portal and cut his head off. Yeah. But then it doesn't work. Yeah, right. Maybe. I don't know. Maybe having the gauntlet protects him against certain amounts of stuff. tries it on him he's just like I'll just use a portal and cut his head off but then it doesn't work maybe I don't know maybe having the gauntlet protects him against
Starting point is 01:24:48 certain amounts of stuff maybe having the space gem means that he can't be hurled through a portal that's true as well at no point is he put through a no he does his own
Starting point is 01:24:56 teleporting because he's got the space gem did you know Spider-Man jumping through the portals and hitting him that was fun and the bit where
Starting point is 01:25:03 Quill puts the bomb on his back and then gives him the finger then backpedals through the portal I thought that was fun that was and the bit where uh uh quill puts the bomb on his back and then gives him the finger yeah then backpedals through the portal i thought that was funny it's really good my favorite moment from the film might be the i am steve rogers oh but he made sure yeah well see that's i was gonna say we're talking about good pairings uh i enjoyed uh thor and rocket and groot teaming up and then rocket and the Groot teaming up. Me too. And then Rocket and the Winter Soldier teaming up. Yes, absolutely. I really like... Thor is amazing in this. Yeah, for sure. Chris Hemsworth.
Starting point is 01:25:29 Because he does the fun and the action and whatever. He outfunnies Star-Lord in a lot of instances, I think. And there's the bit where... But he has a minor breakdown where Rocket's talking to him about what happens to him. What's happened to him. He's like, everyone I know is dead, but don't worry. That just means more incentive for me to move forward. And you just see him, he's just like,
Starting point is 01:25:49 he's really... He's defeated, yeah. He's just really beat down. This is absolutely a Thor Ragnarok sequel. Definitely. And I love that he's like, he's never fought me before. And Rocket's like,
Starting point is 01:25:58 well, he has fought you before and he won. Yeah. Oh, here's the thing I didn't like. I didn't like the fact that we didn't see the Nova planet being destroyed. Yeah. And I didn't like the fact that we got caught in the tail end of the battle, of the opening battle. Oh, you wanted to see all that. I kind of wanted to see it.
Starting point is 01:26:17 And I understand, like, they've shortcut it by going, you've defeated everybody, but you haven't defeated the Hulk. Yeah. But here's the Hulk. Where's the Hulk? And now haven't defeated the Hulk. Yeah. But he is the Hulk. Where's the Hulk? And now you've defeated the Hulk. Yeah. So I understand it's like, okay, you've beaten everybody, except for the strongest one, and now you've beaten the strongest one, so we don't technically need to see it.
Starting point is 01:26:34 But I would have liked to see how Thanos got one over on Thor, who just became the mightiest god there is. It's strange, because he didn't need the hammer and whatever, and the power was within him. Yeah, yeah. But I guess he power was within him. Yeah, yeah. But I guess he also does need it. Yeah. Yeah. Seems that way.
Starting point is 01:26:48 Or he needs a more powerful this is a more powerful hammer. A more powerful weapon, yeah. It's Beta Ray Bill's hammer except it's an axe because it's called Stormbreaker but it looks like
Starting point is 01:26:58 the ultimate hammer. It looks like the ultimate hammer. Exactly, yeah. And Groot's worthy. I guess. Or was he just putting it together? I don't think he was worthy. Maybe this hammer doesn't work like that.
Starting point is 01:27:07 Well, that's also true. What else? Yeah. How good was Peter Dinklage as the... I see. There were moments when I'm like, is he a good actor? I don't know either, to be honest. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:18 I called giant Peter Dinklage as well. I said it on this podcast. I'm sure I did. Cool. Yeah. That's pretty cool. But no, I thought it was a pleasant surprise him showing up, but I thought some of his delivery was a bit wooden.
Starting point is 01:27:32 Well, I mean, he is delivering to literally no one. Yeah. It's on a soundstage. But it's not only that. And this is a carryover from Game of Thrones. I don't think he does a great accent. No, you're right. He's American.
Starting point is 01:27:42 He's like, hello. Hello, it's me, Peter. I think they could have, because the way he was artificially deepening his voice i think he should have just spoken normally and they tweaked it because vin diesel does teenage group and baby group yes but they alter it i think him going i'm a dwarf and i'm like that yeah right i don't think yeah that that threw me about that he should have spoken normally and they should have added a booming yeah absolutely but i like the idea yeah of taking that actor and putting him in that role. I think he's really good. Oh, if we're just pinballing around different topics as we should be.
Starting point is 01:28:13 Yes. The Red Skull's back. I enjoyed that a lot. That blew my mind. Yeah. And it's not him. No, it's Richard Marquand. David, who we spoke to afterwards, was like, yeah. He's from Walking Dead, right?
Starting point is 01:28:24 But he's an excellent... He's a mimic, I guess. He'squand? Yeah. He's from Walking Dead, right? But he's an excellent... He's a mimic, I guess. He's a mimic, yeah. It's in my Easter egg video. Who is he in The Walking Dead? Awesome guy. But he's good in it. Okay.
Starting point is 01:28:32 The Walking Dead cast is good, and they're good performances. But he was quite... I was... Until the second viewing, I'm like... Yeah, second one, I was like... I thought maybe it was Hugo Weaving, and then they... Maybe they just did the voice. Maybe did it over the phone.
Starting point is 01:28:43 Because it looks like a CGI face. Yeah, right. But it is good that they just gave him. Blew my bloody mind, mate. Yeah, it's fine. Because he was shot out in space. He was shot out in space. That was like the second movie or the third movie or something.
Starting point is 01:28:55 I know, it's crazy. Really good. I like the way they managed to get around the Hugo Weaving. Because Hugo Weaving has also said, he said, I don't want to do it. And then a few years prior, he was like, yeah, I guess I'd come back. But I think they just went, you know what? You don't really want to do it and then a few years prior he's like yeah i guess i'd come back but i think they just went you know what you don't really want to do it so we'll just work around yeah i think that's a i think that was a good way to do it yeah yeah you know what i did like and we talked about this briefly with the iron man suit there's a finite amount of nanobots i guess it does so when he's fighting thanos at
Starting point is 01:29:19 the end and thanos is just chipping bits off him and breaking off the suit and he tears his helmet off you see it whittling down like the leg becomes exposed yeah right he puts all the power into the shields yeah and whatever like i think in the next one he's just going to go back to standard iron man suit it might have to be or maybe like space like maybe when he builds in space yeah well he's got a guardian space one he could maybe do an as guardian one there's a bunch of stuff that he could do yeah for uh but also if they're nanobots, maybe they can replenish themselves. Yeah, for sure. He might have a recharging time or something.
Starting point is 01:29:48 But no, I didn't like the design, but I like what it was capable of. And it feels like a really good progression from where we started, where he had to get pride out of it, to it's just this liquid. Yeah, for sure. Speaking of suits, though, this is my same problem I have with the Black Panther suit. There's a moment where he gets... First of all, he's clearly not that good a fighter. No.
Starting point is 01:30:07 I did like the bit, we mentioned it before, where his helmet gets wrenched off and then immediately he's just got another helmet. I thought that was good. That was a good effect, too, wasn't it? So they can do that effect. Yeah, I guess they can, yeah. Black Panther gets pinned down at one point and a hundred monsters are scratching at him. You could chip it away at him for a thousand years.
Starting point is 01:30:25 He's in a completely indestructible suit. Yeah, right, okay. There's no stakes to that character when he's got that suit on. Is that just me? Oh, look. Because Steve Rogers is just sleeves rolled up. He's got a little bit of armor on him. And I know it's the suit.
Starting point is 01:30:39 It's the way you've built it into the universe. But I think they need to do something with that because when he's in a cat suit and it's bulletproof and he can't be stopped and he's invincible he's more as a supporting character
Starting point is 01:30:49 that's very cool but as a main character it's not I think by the next one not even the next not the next maybe not the next Avengers but definitely
Starting point is 01:31:00 by the next Black Panther the bad guys will have figured it out had it counteracted immediately vibranium bullets I think it'll be like the first thing yeah he'll come up with a team of bad guys he'd be like this is gonna be easy and they'll just drop him because they've got a countermeasured device maybe it's a sonic thing yeah exactly
Starting point is 01:31:15 sure I don't think it's gonna be a problem okay I hope so yeah and he was also I think the reason why like he left dr. strange left and a bunch of others left because they're gonna be running avengers after the next film yeah for sure gonna be a captain marvel led yeah new avengers team with some some existing members yes i also like that the ones they left make for some interesting pair ups like rocket is the only guardian left and he's with the avengers yes he only sort of knows thor yeah Yeah. And nobody else. And. And Nebula is stuck with Tony Stark.
Starting point is 01:31:48 Dark. And they've never even spoken. They've never met. Yeah, exactly. They don't know anything about each other. Yeah, that's right. She just drops out of space to fight Thanos. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:56 There's no moment of. What do they have? They have the Milano. That's still operational, right? And they have her escape pod. Yes. That's what they got. Okay.
Starting point is 01:32:02 But Thor also has an axe that can travel to anywhere. I guess that's true, yeah. And presumably Tony Stark's got some kind of tracking beacon, maybe. I don't know how it works. Maybe. But, yeah. We haven't really talked about the other villains. What do you think of the villains?
Starting point is 01:32:16 Have we not talked about the villains because they're just sort of generic? One of them I really liked. Was it Mr. Schmancy Pants Man? Schmancy Man. I love when he turns up to work and he's doing the speech and tony stark and dr strange are just like get the fuck out of here i enjoyed that but the other two were kind of yeah also um benedict wong wait wong wong just wong what's his last name though ben i think his name is benedict wong
Starting point is 01:32:41 let me check we'd better be right about this. Yeah. Here's two weird coincidences. There's two Sherlock Holmeses in this movie. It is Benedict Wong. And both of the main characters, both of the main actors in Doctor Strange are called Benedict. Whoa. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:55 Whoa. Yeah. And also Robert Downey Jr. is Sherlock Holmes. That's what I'm saying. Oh, sorry. I thought you meant Martin Freeman. He's not in this, is he? No.
Starting point is 01:33:01 But Captain Mar-Vell, played by Jude Law, also is watson yeah i mean everybody gets everybody gets a run at everything yeah for sure yeah yeah yeah but man benedict wong is good in this as well he's great yeah and i understand why he didn't go with them yeah because he was like i have to stay in the sanctum man i think he's still alive yes well you need some magic you need some magic uh okay so any villains what do you okay so the other two the big one especially yep
Starting point is 01:33:26 who cares is the Hulk whatever I did enjoy the fight between him and Spider-Man and Tony Stark in the park yeah that was good
Starting point is 01:33:33 I enjoyed that but not because he's interesting it's more interesting because you've got like you know Peter Parker knows
Starting point is 01:33:42 he can grab a taxi cab and like hurl it at him using physics and geometry yeah learn your geometry kids learn your bloody geometry yeah that was cool you know peter parker knows he can grab a a taxi cab and like hurl it at him using physics and geometry yeah learn your geometry kids and your bloody geometry and that was cool uh the female one i didn't mind yeah she was okay i guess there was i don't know her name yep uh but fine and she's dead i guess yeah and the other one the dark elf guy looking guy whatever i can't remember anything he did.
Starting point is 01:34:07 Apparently he's tethered to his glaive. Oh, he makes the army. In the comics, he makes the army. Oh, I see. Right. I also like the idea that Thanos is just churning through alien armies. It's just boring. It's just like the Chitauri where it's wiped out.
Starting point is 01:34:17 My brother had an idea. I think it was my brother. Which one? I think it was my brother. I think it was my brother. I think it was my brother. I think it was my brother. I think it was my brother. I think it was my brother.
Starting point is 01:34:18 I think it was my brother. I think it was my brother. I think it was my brother. The one that you don't like. That's what I figured. The one I like wouldn't have an opinion on this. Maybe it was. No, it was the brother you did like.
Starting point is 01:34:23 Wow. Weird. We had a discussion. I think he said something like, it would I like wouldn't have, it was the brother you did like. Wow. Weird. We had a discussion. I think he said something like it would have been more interesting if Thanos's army was made up of civilizations that he's conquered. Yeah. Maybe. Yeah. Then just,
Starting point is 01:34:34 I mean, I understand why they did generic all the same army cause it's easier to design or whatever. Yeah. Uh, but I think that would have been an interesting kind of take on it. Did you like the battle of Wakanda? I, I'm not really big on... No, I liked the individual pieces.
Starting point is 01:34:49 I liked when Scarlet Witch and Black Widow and Okoye teamed up. That was super cool. I 100% think they're doing a female-led movie down the line. Because we were talking about this after the film and how do you market it without people going, this is just bloody avengers with girls or whatever and you just said you just do it and you don't say anything yeah like it's just the story calls for it and i thought of annihilation is a female-led
Starting point is 01:35:16 science fiction movie yeah for sure but it's never a point where just look at these girls going into this bloody dimension or whatever so So if you just do it. Yeah. And also, if you make it part of this 19 movie franchise, what are you going to imagine going? No, I'm not going to sue this one. Yeah. Or we're going to sue because girls at well, you're going to miss out on some plot points. Exactly. And seeing those three, like just those three, there's more you can put in there.
Starting point is 01:35:43 Like fighting together in the ditch. Yeah. Great. You put them in, you put Valkyrie in. Yeah, exactly. It's only like 20 seconds, but it's a really good moment. And they bounce off each other well. Yeah. Do you think that Okoye is going to become Black Panther in the next one?
Starting point is 01:35:55 I think she will. That's very possible. I think the two options. Or Shuri. No, I don't think it's Shuri. She ain't got the skills. She's not a fighter. I think the two options are Okoye or M'Baku.
Starting point is 01:36:05 I like him. Yeah, he's good, right? Yeah. But I think he's even too big. She's not a fighter. I think the two options are Okoye or Mbaku. I like him. Yeah, he's good, right? Yeah. But I think he's even too big. He's probably too big, yeah. But I think it'll be Okoye. He's great, right? Yeah, I know, right?
Starting point is 01:36:13 Yeah. I think Okoye is going to put on the Black Panther suit. Okay, I want an all-female team and him. Yeah, cool. Yeah, cool, man. Nice. Yeah. I don't know, man.
Starting point is 01:36:24 What else? There's so much else to talk about in this movie, I think. There's a bit where Captain America's running with Black Panther. Yeah. I don't know, man. Uh, what else? There's so much else to talk about in this movie. I think there's a bit where captain America's running with black Panther and they're just booking it. That's great. Um, what? Okay.
Starting point is 01:36:33 I didn't like, but I don't, I think it's going to be fine in the longterm. Yep. There's not a lot of captain America in this. No, he doesn't. There's bits and pieces.
Starting point is 01:36:41 He, you know, he saves the vision and whatever. Yeah. But I think that people... People are so excited. Both times I saw it, people were so excited to see him. We saw it in the trailer,
Starting point is 01:36:49 we knew it was going to happen, but he comes out of the shadows and people are like, oh, he's back. Everything's going to be fine. He looks so cool. And it wasn't fine. It wasn't fine at all.
Starting point is 01:36:57 He gets swatted aside like he's nothing, but... You know, I'd have thought about the vision as well. Yes. So he dies at the end, he gets the gem pulled from his head and then Scarlet Witch is taken away and he turns gray yeah i think there's a possibility that they're going to bring him back without the gem yep and he'll be the one color yeah the soulless yeah robot one yeah that we saw in the comics not the weird fleshy white now get out i think gray would
Starting point is 01:37:20 look there is a gray one in the comics okay was very grey But I think also The reason they could Do that And it might not even Be in the next film It could be down the line Is that they've established That there is more to him Like he's part Ultron
Starting point is 01:37:32 Part Stark Part Banner Jarvis Part Jarvis And all of that Is built something new Yeah So I think
Starting point is 01:37:40 There's probably enough Of him left in there I'm going to make A hit prediction Hit prick Ow I'm going to make A hit prediction i think at the end of the next at the end of the next one he'll be maybe they'll put him back together yeah and he'll be gray and he'll be soulless and everybody will come back and there'll be and there'll be a moment where we think that
Starting point is 01:38:02 he's gone forever and there'll be like a little spark where he recognizes wanda maybe and you go okay he's coming back eventually it'll be like the magneto moving the piece yeah it'll be like spock where you're like oh spock doesn't remember anybody but then he does remember everybody you know that's a hit prick mason that's a real hit prick ow uh what else a lot of stuff to talk about this man Thanos mentions to Thor that he
Starting point is 01:38:27 should have hit him in the head with the hammer and he should have but I feel like he was just trying to get in close
Starting point is 01:38:33 like it wasn't he was just aiming for him and that's just the bit where Thor turns up on Wakanda is great that is good
Starting point is 01:38:41 yeah like all the individual bits of that battle are great but just people smashing into stuff, not that exciting.
Starting point is 01:38:47 I think... So they also mention Ant-Man and Hawkeye, how they're under house arrest. We'll see that in Ant-Man, which is again why I think it's set prior. I think Hawkeye's family are going to be dead, and they do do Ronan. So his family all go,
Starting point is 01:39:04 and it's just him. So then he's like, well, I'm back now, aren't I? I guess so, yeah. I think that's how they're going to do it.
Starting point is 01:39:10 Interesting they didn't use him at all, but I kind of like that. Same. It's like how they Luke Skywalker'd in the Force Awakens. There's no way he's not
Starting point is 01:39:16 going to turn the tide at the end of the, I mean, I made a lot of predictions about this one that were wrong. But we made a bit of a kerfuffle about
Starting point is 01:39:22 Pepper Potts being in the Iron Man suit. She absolutely was not. But how are we to know? We weren't to know. We don't make these movies. No, we don't. Unless we're being paid by Marvel for deliberate misdirects.
Starting point is 01:39:32 I said early on, I think, that Spider-Man dies. Yeah, right. I mean, everybody dies. It's not really a prediction. Sure. And then that Pepper Potts thing made a lot of sense to me. So it's not all you, Mason. Okay, cool.
Starting point is 01:39:43 You dumbass. I'm kind of a dumbass. Okay, so as far as the future goes, when everybody, before Doctor Strange goes, also that's, okay, let's talk about this, when everybody goes, it's harrowing. Oh, yeah. Because there's no music.
Starting point is 01:39:57 There's no music. There's no, they don't turn to dust. They turn to nothing. Yeah. So there's no evidence they were ever there or ever existed. No, isn't there bits of dust on the ground? No,
Starting point is 01:40:05 it goes. Are you sure? Yeah, because remember at the end when they look, when Fury and Hill look in the SUV, there's literally nothing there.
Starting point is 01:40:12 Oh yeah, good point. Maybe there was never anyone in there. It's a self-driving car. It's just a coincidence. But like when, no,
Starting point is 01:40:18 because the first person you see disappear is the Winter Soldier. Yeah. And he only, because he's on like leafy ground and then, and like muddy leafy ground and then and
Starting point is 01:40:25 like muddy kind of ground and steve looks for him but everybody else just goes yeah like there's dust and then there's nothing okay so it looks like they never existed at all so but people remember them yes because that's because it also made everybody go and nobody remembers them that's true what a prick what a meanie what a mean boy what a mean boy yeah yeah but no i thought that was even though as it was happening i'm like well there's a way out of this it was still spooky i guess the way to way to put it yeah yeah like i said that okay well maybe we could talk about i don't know if you've got that listed who's at the end of avengers 4 yeah who's going to still be alive and who's actually going to be dead okay Okay. I think Gamora might be trapped in the Soul Stone.
Starting point is 01:41:07 I think that's true also. Because he sees her after he clicks his fingers. Or I guess my question was... It's not a fun Guardians 3 if Peter Quill is grieving. Over the death of Gamora. Exactly. But then maybe that's the way to do it. Maybe you do it more...
Starting point is 01:41:20 Also, don't kill one of the six female characters you have. That's all I'm saying. But I can understand why it had to be her in this movie yeah because she's the only one with a connection to it do you think that that's her or do you think that is the madness inside his brain do you think he sees as a child all the time that's a possibility i get i sort of got the sense that in place of debt because when he does it in the comic books he sees death yeah i think maybe that's what he sees in his mind is he sees this child yeah he's trying to save all the time and he's like well i have to save i have to kill all these people to save her all the time yeah so i think maybe even even the killing
Starting point is 01:41:54 of her in real life yeah didn't count as much to him because that's not the version he sees he sees the child one he's like i've got to save her no matter what yeah and so maybe that's why and that's why she seems happy that he's done it yeah so to save her no matter what yeah and so maybe that's why and that's why she seems happy that he's done it yeah so i don't know i also though wonder if he did bring her back because technically he could if he can do anything yeah if he did that negates him making the sacrifice of the soul stone and then he loses and then he loses it yeah yeah i mean maybe he doesn't know that or whatever but i think that might be a play in the future i think yeah because i i think the the the general consensus seems to be everybody was killed by the infinity gauntlet yes like the the snap at the end they're all going to come back yep so the only
Starting point is 01:42:35 people who are really probably definitely going to die are the people who were killed before that happens loki loki's handle there's not that many there's really not yeah but i think potentially vision yeah he might stay dead yeah i don't think so but maybe yeah yeah because it's it's hard to know because what can it do what can it do but also who of the new team are going to sack like i potentially one of the new people one of the people who we think are going to be in the new team of avengers maybe one of them's going to die yeah people who we think are going to be in the new team of avengers maybe one of them's going to die yeah absolutely uh i think yeah i think some of them some of the original avengers will die forever in the next one well forever you know but proper dead not
Starting point is 01:43:16 turn to leaves and that's the thing also loki and heimdall are dead but also they are somewhat cosmic beings they could come back as spirits they could come reincarnate as somebody else they could come back so time travel time travel they could come back you know what in in that they could come back in the in the original comic book thor scenario where loki arrives on earth like he just appears as a normal man on earth and he doesn't have any memory if he's okay cool and then he's all heimdall could do that. Any of them can do it. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 01:43:47 But I think Gamora will be back only because the soul for a soul situation. Yeah. I feel like that means that when the gauntlet is broken apart in the future or what have you, whoever does that will be like, and he is just, you know, just, and she comes and then she wakes up and then she she puts herself back together and limps home or whatever. Like a spaghetti, like the spaghetti one.
Starting point is 01:44:10 Yeah. Yeah. Spaghetti one. Yeah. Why didn't he turn everyone to spaghetti? Why didn't he turn everyone to spaghetti? Exactly. Don't fight.
Starting point is 01:44:15 Yeah. The only reason I can think of was because he likes a fight. Yeah. Yeah. Weird call. Who wants to fight a plate of spaghetti? Nobody. You want to enjoy a plate of spaghetti?
Starting point is 01:44:25 I'd love to enjoy a plate of spaghetti right now I think this is a good thing to end on Okay Before Doctor Strange We're turning to dust Anyway Yeah we're fine We're actually fine
Starting point is 01:44:36 Don't even worry about it So Doctor Strange Says at the end To Tony Stark This is the only way Yes So I assume That the one scenario Out of the $14 million that he checked on that worked out was this one.
Starting point is 01:44:51 Yes. Because the plan wasn't to get the glove. No. The plan was for this to play out exactly as it does and then in future events that he's not a part of. That's why he doesn't cut the arm off. That's also possible. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:45:02 There you go. Because he needs, I think, yeah. So what do you think maybe the scenario is? Time's also possible. Yeah, there you go. Because he needs... I think... Yeah, so what do you think maybe the scenario is? Time travel. Maybe. Yeah, okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:45:10 I think they're going to go back and do a bloody time travel thing. How far? All the way back? I think we might even get like a greatest hits of like movies or whatever. Yeah, wow.
Starting point is 01:45:19 Okay. But no, I think we will. Yeah. Yeah, okay. I think that's what we're getting. I mean, among other things who knows the Russo brothers
Starting point is 01:45:27 have also said that they're going to work in that you know that Iron Man tech where he can talk to his parents and his memories
Starting point is 01:45:35 oh yeah right so maybe if you you know apply that to the time stone yeah you could craft back
Starting point is 01:45:43 like scenarios you know like the Polaroid episode of Red Dwarf where they go back in time like that, it's not a good example it's like time slides I'm going to say not time travel I think that makes it too easy to fix everything I think maybe
Starting point is 01:45:57 whoever's left somehow makes Thanos see the error of his ways and he fixes everything or he gives it up and then they beat him up. Yeah. Also, it seems like he has given it up, maybe. Or he doesn't have it on him. Yeah, and we had the question afterwards,
Starting point is 01:46:13 is the Infinity Gauntlet still, is it wrecked now? I don't think it is. No, it isn't because he uses the space to escape. He's going to escape, yeah. But the other thing is, you see his armour on the Scarecrow at the end. I don't remember whether the gauntlet is on it or not. Also, he might be wearing the gauntlet and you just can't see it.
Starting point is 01:46:28 Yeah, because exactly. Yeah, we don't see his hand, I don't think. There was great Doctor Strange magic in this. There was. Remember where he got the gem from space? Yeah. The winds of Wattoomba? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:46:37 The cloak's great. He uses what I assume are the crimson bands of Psyduck to trap Thanos' arm. So good. He does the thing where he turns into a million of himself. Yeah. Oh, that's magic, baby. That's what I assume are the crimson bands of Psyduck to trap Thanos' arm. He does the thing where he turns into a million of himself. Oh, that's magic, baby. He turns something into butterflies. I can't remember what it is, but that's magic, baby. That's what I want.
Starting point is 01:46:53 You know what I love? None of this Firecracker Kung Fu nonsense. There is some of that. It's good to see a bit of that. You know what I did like, though? That he's not even close to being the best wizard. Yeah, that's cool. He does all that, and he's not even close to being the best wizard. Yeah, that's cool. He does all that and he's still not.
Starting point is 01:47:06 I like the fact that the fancy schmancy pants man just thinks he's like a kid's magician. That's the scale that he thinks he's dealing with. And he's better than that. But also I like the idea that there's aliens out there also using magic. Yeah, exactly. That's cool.
Starting point is 01:47:21 I like the bit how he got blown out the airlock. So much pop culture. I love it. Did you like the bit how Tony Stark was like, no more pop culture? bit how he got blown out the airlock. So much pop culture. I love it. Did you like the bit how Tony Stark was like no more pop culture and then he did so much pop culture himself. Yeah. He's big on pop culture. All right.
Starting point is 01:47:32 That's good. Might have to wrap it up here. All right. So you're saying time travel. I'm saying not time travel. I'm not saying strictly time travel, but a variation on time travel. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:47:39 Okay. That's fair enough. But I just think that. I don't think it's going to be step into a portal and whatever. No. Because I, and I also think that if, if the closer is time travel,
Starting point is 01:47:46 then that's the end of this universe. Because there's no way you can't just be like, hey, Doctor Strange, can you fix this? Depends how you do it. Depends what they do with the gems at the end. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because they've destroyed them before and whatever. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:47:58 Who knows, Mason? Got some reviews here, though, from people who sent these in by Twitter. some uh reviews here though from people who i'm ready who sent these in by a tweeter from said uh samayowa says probably still that wrong hey guys just our infinity one i think what i loved uh most about it was how captain america never made any verbal uh contact with thanos at best it was just a minor inconvenience thoughts no i like that a lot actually yeah yeah i think they i think we might get that Captain America Thanos showdown
Starting point is 01:48:27 from the comics in the next one where he just gives them the talk and show yeah yeah yeah and I did like at the end
Starting point is 01:48:34 that Thanos just ripped through again like we were talking about Black Panther at the end he just he just tosses him aside like the the kinetic energy absorption thing
Starting point is 01:48:42 it doesn't matter Hulkbusters intangible or whatever. Yeah. It just goes through him. Real cool. Dennis says, I really enjoyed Infinity Wars.
Starting point is 01:48:49 Halfway through, I kind of figured the way it would end. Also, Star-Lord is an idiot. He is an idiot. He's talking about the bit where he's going to get his glove off. Yes. Do you think he should have just... How do you think that should have played out? Not like that, obviously.
Starting point is 01:49:04 Was that always going to be like that because that was a scenario that strange saw well strange never what is strange doing at that point no stark and peter are doing he's on the other arm maybe no because he lets the he lets the the bands off he's using the crimson bands yeah and then i think he's staying back deliberately. I think he's on him. Yeah. Yeah. I think he is on him.
Starting point is 01:49:28 Okay. I don't remember where. Because I know Peter Parker's... He might be on his non-gauntlet arm. Yeah, that's what I thought. Yeah, because Peter Parker and Tony Stark are on the other arm. Because Pete Webb's one arm around. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:49:37 Maybe. But I think he might deliberately be... Look, assuming that the Russo brothers know what they're doing in this circumstance and look assuming that the russo brothers know what they're doing in this in this circumstance and that they've said okay strange knows the only way that they're gonna win is the way that's happening now yeah he has to be he has to he's like okay he's set up this system to fail yes because why else would he let peter quill come up with that plan that's not gonna work fair enough yeah yeah it's not wrong it's yeah and he could have done, again, he could have chopped that arm off. Yep.
Starting point is 01:50:05 He could have bloody given it a little tickle. But again, that wouldn't have worked probably because there's only one scenario. Yeah. Because he was like, I saw 14 million scenarios. How many worked? About half. Yeah. Like that's not as...
Starting point is 01:50:18 We can go with any of them really. Kalito says, loved Infinity War, best movie ever, except I felt the Guardians joke slowed down the film. Those moments are good for those those films but with everyone else needing a bit of screen time it would have been best to shorten those yeah i can see that who didn't get enough screen time do you feel captain america you didn't get enough screen time yeah yeah and also probably black widow yeah uh that team in general didn't get a lot of play yeah i would say yeah next time there yeah austin says uh just got out of infinity war and i'm emotionally wrecked loved it though I would say. Yeah. Next time though. Yeah. Austin says, uh, just got out of infinity war and I'm emotionally wrecked.
Starting point is 01:50:47 Loved it though. And William says infinity war was everything. Justice league. Wasn't, uh, only gripe was the elf woman. CGI was about as good as Steppenwolf. Thanos was amazing.
Starting point is 01:50:57 So there you go. Oh, sorry. One more from Jack here says, and then if anymore was such a fun movie, but still an intense thrill ride. The Russo's did an impossible job of balancing all the characters without feeling stuffed
Starting point is 01:51:06 and the action was incredible. The highlight was Thanos. Best movie ever. All right. Pretty good. I'm sure we'll come back to this many times between now and next year. Yes.
Starting point is 01:51:17 Yeah. But do you know what it's time for? Oh, it's time for our famous segment, What We Readin'. What are we gonna read? I'm doing the thing. What are we gonna read i'm doing the thing what are we reading today perfect three and it's not very good yeah the first two were great elizabeth banks directed the third one as well oh okay yeah it's a shame it's not very good well we're good what are you gonna do about it nothing literally nothing i haven't really been
Starting point is 01:51:44 watching anything because i've been working on that amazing Easter egg video that took up all my time. I even had to put down God of War, which I'm really into. Wow. That's great. If you don't have God of War, get God of War. Even if you haven't played any other God of Wars. Okay.
Starting point is 01:51:56 He's got a son now. He's got a son. And he gets his son to decode runes or something? Correct. Or read things because he can't read? Yes. So he can't read Nordic. Okay, right.
Starting point is 01:52:04 Yeah. But I really like the I like it much better than the other ones because the other one is just like you're blindly smashing which is good
Starting point is 01:52:11 they're great games yeah yeah but this is it's just a really good game this is a sequel to the others it's not a reboot no I mean it sort of is
Starting point is 01:52:19 but it's a straight up sequel and there's elements like there's hints at where he's from and things that he's done but so this is his second family didn't his first family get killed?
Starting point is 01:52:29 oh he killed his first family? yes by accident, oh Ares moved so did he have another wife? where's his wife? she's dead at the start of this one did he kill her? no she got sick or whatever it's the motivations for the story and bringing his son together.
Starting point is 01:52:45 Also, I've been re-watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine. And? It's my new series. It's my new season of, it's my new series of, I can just be in the house watching something on TV. Yes, absolutely. I can go make a sandwich and it makes no difference. Here's something about Brooklyn Nine-Nine that may ruin it for you.
Starting point is 01:52:59 What's that? Because it ruins a bit of it for me. I'm ready. Even though I think it's good. Yes. Because you know in, say in say The Office when someone wants to make a funny little aside
Starting point is 01:53:06 they'll cut to them in an interview and they'll be like well that went how it shouldn't have gone or whatever this
Starting point is 01:53:11 the main cop Jake Peralta will just turn his head and go that's not what happened in Die Hard or whatever you know what I mean
Starting point is 01:53:18 and he just does that whenever and things just go on anyway we're watching that but again the plots don't matter you can just go in and out and watch're watching that. But again, the plots don't matter. You can just go in and out and watch the jokes.
Starting point is 01:53:27 It's fun moments, yeah. And everybody's great in it. And MVP of all TV comedies is Andre Brouwer as Captain Holt. He's so good. He's the best at just... Really good. He never breaks, ever. That is a great cast, though, in general. Yeah, it's a good show.
Starting point is 01:53:39 Okay, I think that's everything for what we were reading. Do I have letters? Maybe letters. Maybe. We can do letters. We can do letters right. Do I have letters? Maybe letters. Maybe. We can do letters. We can do letters. The classic one was letters, oh letters. We love you, some letters.
Starting point is 01:53:52 They're only a day away. They're here right now. We're going to do letters. Good work. Nice. Okay. Just quickly, before we do letters, Lights Camera Podcast. The boys over there, Mason.
Starting point is 01:54:08 That's right. One of us was going to guest this week for various reasons that we won't get into it. Neither of us could do it. Yes. It's a great show. People should check it out. But they did a death poll to find out who was going to die in Avengers Infinity War. We talked about it a couple of episodes back.
Starting point is 01:54:23 Only 32 people out of 5,000 who entered had the four correct death predictions for the death pool. Wow. That person has a total of 10,900 total points with Gamora, Peter Quill, Black Panther. Don't say him. No, because I said letters at the start. Oh, right, okay.
Starting point is 01:54:37 I'm just going to spoil it. All right, cool. And Black Panther, Spider-Man, they'll win Marvel prizes and a Lights, Camera, Podcast and a Weekly Planet t-Man. They'll win Marvel prizes and a lights camera podcast and a Weekly Planet t-shirt. So yeah, well done to that person here. I was going to read out their email, but I will not. But it's Kay Nellis, who, anyway, that's good.
Starting point is 01:54:58 But you should listen to that show also. It's a great show. They're good dudes. They are. All right. Got a letter, Mason? Yeah, I do. This is kind of visual.
Starting point is 01:55:04 This is just for you, but I'll tweet it later. Please do. This is from Peter Atkin. My mum made me what must have been a very confusing cake for my birthday. I thought you might find it funny. Love the podcast. This is Peter Atkin from York. York?
Starting point is 01:55:16 Here's the cake. That's very good. It is a Mr. Sunday Movies cake. It's a goat head. That's really good. It's a massive goat head connected to a tiny little Lego body. It's incredible. Yeah, that's a really solid looking cake, man.
Starting point is 01:55:31 Anyway, I'll give that a bit of a tweeter later. Please do. Yes. Wow, that's really good. Yeah. Anyway, happy birthday. Happy bloody birthday. And happy birthday to everyone who has a birthday.
Starting point is 01:55:39 Oh, and speaking of birthdays, here comes Ollie, the podcast dog. Who has a birth date of indeterminates. Correct. That's about now. of indeterminates. Correct. That's about now. Is it? Yeah, about now. Are you counting when you adopted her? Well, she was probably, I don't know how old she is exactly.
Starting point is 01:55:52 Yeah, right. Six years ago from now. Happy birthday, dog. Happy birthday, Ollie. Whenever I mention Ollie's name, I always get a few emails that are like, ha, I found out the name of the podcast dog. I think we've said it like three years ago. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 01:56:03 But that's still good. All right,. I'm trying to find a question that's not MCU related just yet, but we'll go back to that. It is a good one. It's from Grant. Hey, if you want to reach the show, hashtag weeklyplanetpod on Twitter or weeklyplanetpod at gmail.com to send Maso an email. Thank you. My phone was lighting up this week with- Blown up.
Starting point is 01:56:23 So that email is probably jam packed is it oh it's jam packed very good yeah it's from Grant says hey guys huge fan of the show got to the point
Starting point is 01:56:31 where the pod is becoming a drug and I'm having withdrawals every week have you ever considered doing a whole podcast on your famous letters segment yes we have
Starting point is 01:56:40 we have yeah we might we'll probably do it as like Patreon yeah Patreon thing and now we just like like every like maybe once a month, we just clear out the letters. Just we do them all.
Starting point is 01:56:50 Yeah, absolutely. It's definitely a possibility. In brief detail. In brief as you like. But we'll do that after the charity campaign. Yeah, for sure. Probably, if we do it at all. The other thing I wanted to try this week was the video that's going up on Thursday
Starting point is 01:57:03 is normally a Weekly Planet excerptpt but we're going to record a little extra thing at the end of this. Yes. I'm going to give that a go. So if you're listening to this and you want more podcasts it'll be on my YouTube channel
Starting point is 01:57:12 on Thursday. Not every week but we thought we'd just try something a little bit different. Anything to keep the old romance alive you know what I mean? You better believe it Mason.
Starting point is 01:57:20 Try bloody anything. But no, that's definitely something we've considered. Got another letter there, Mason? Nah. I'll find one. Even though there's so many letters in there?
Starting point is 01:57:29 There's so many letters. This one's just from Joseph Brown. Infinity War thoughts. Hey, James, Claire and Nick. Yo. Claire doesn't care. No. About this.
Starting point is 01:57:38 Did she see it? She did. She liked it. She thought the battle sequence was a bit too long. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. That's all the only part of that letter I'm going to read. Okay, good.
Starting point is 01:57:47 The rest of it's spoilers, so I'll probably... Oh, okay. Well, we can talk about spoilers here, Mason. Nah, I don't want to. Here's a good question. I'm ready. This is a spoiler. Okay.
Starting point is 01:57:53 People aren't here. Brett says, if Thanos killed half of life, why are there trees in the jungle not disappearing? Oh, good question. I think he just meant like... Peeps. Yeah, peeps.
Starting point is 01:58:03 Just peeps, yeah. Peeps and alien peeps. Heaps of peeps. Heapso peepso? Yeah. Okay, good. Oh, here's a good question. I think he just meant like... Peeps. Yeah, Peeps. Just Peeps. Peeps and alien Peeps. Heaps of Peeps. Heepso Peepso? Yeah. Okay, good. Oh, here's a good question also about this. Poddy94 says, one question, where was Valkyrie on the Asgardian ship?
Starting point is 01:58:14 Which could also be like, where's Korg? Where's Meek? There's a bunch of other people there. There's a line during the film where Thor says half the people are gone. Yes. And they've killed half the ship. So I presume they jettisoned or he just let them escape. I don't think they were on the ship when he blew it up.
Starting point is 01:58:28 No, I think so too. I think if you didn't see him die, they didn't. Yeah. And I think if, I mean, potentially what he did is he went, okay, well, you know, 500 people left on an escape craft. There are 500 people here, so I'm just going to kill all 500. Yes, exactly. You know, that'll do. It it works out he's done the maths before he knows he knows what's up couple more letters mason okay uh salam says is it possible for some of the people that
Starting point is 01:58:54 are that were affected by uh the snap were scrolls sure yeah possibly absolutely yeah i mean in the universe almost certainly they're they're exempt, are they? Yeah. They don't have a special letter from their mums, do they? No, they don't. Do you think that would fly? Like Thanos would be okay with that? You got a letter from your mum
Starting point is 01:59:13 that says... Yeah, maybe. Yeah. No, thank you. Yeah. He's all about that family relationship, you know. Boy, is he.
Starting point is 01:59:20 Master Shake 417, if we're talking Infinity War still, when Doctor Strange Spider-Man and Iron Man fight the alien wizard Mr. Schmancy Pants Man yes
Starting point is 01:59:28 I noticed he was wearing a number of rings do you think they're the rings of power I do not I don't think they are I didn't notice that at all no I didn't either
Starting point is 01:59:34 aren't the rings of power tech didn't you say they are alien technology yeah but no I think I think the Mandarin as he exists in the
Starting point is 01:59:40 Marvel Universe already has them yeah right okay I don't think yeah I don't think he's getting them now because his organization is called the Ten Rings. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 01:59:47 I think he's got them already. Some people just have rings. Like some people just have bracelets. Yeah, so many bracelets. So many bracelets. Oh my God. There's so many Infinity War letters in here. Zachary, Alan wants to know,
Starting point is 01:59:57 could Doctor Strange just portal his arm head off? Good question. I don't think so. No, I think it's not addressed. He would have given it a go. He would have given it a go. He would have given it a go. Either he was going to give it a go or Doctor Strange set this plan up to fail. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 02:00:12 See, that's the thing. We were talking earlier about what would make me not like this movie. And I think it's if these issues aren't addressed. Right, yeah. If Doctor Strange doesn't go, well, I knew I couldn't kill him because I needed this to happen. Yeah, right. Then I'd be very mad that he didn't try it at least once. Yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 02:00:29 Yeah. Did you find, we didn't really have this in our movie, but there were, I know people have sent in saying they missed moments of it where, because people were laughing or cheering or crying or whatever. Ours was pretty quiet, wasn't it? For the whole. Yeah, it was. Yeah, that's true. I mean, it was a screening, but yeah, it um yeah i didn't i didn't miss any dialogue yes at any point i don't think which was good uh lewis waldron asks and a couple of people have
Starting point is 02:00:54 actually asked this on twitter it's the thing about twitter now is that a lot of people like hey what do you think about this theory and you can't reply to them because everybody sees you so there's been a lot of people i've just kind of left hanging. Yeah. Lewis Walder and a couple of other people on Twitter said to me or asked, he says, my thoughts are that the people who died at the end of Infinity will have been sent into another reality or dimension and the next film is about getting them back. What do you think about that? Yeah, right.
Starting point is 02:01:18 Somebody on Twitter said, do you think that they have been sent to, all the new guys have been sent to another reality and there'll be separate realities from this point forward? don't think that's the case yeah they may i look i can't potentially i mean i can't rule out that they all the guys who everybody who died gets sent to another reality yeah and maybe they're living their lives oblivious to this but i think if that's the case i think i my i'm 100 that they're dead. Yeah. They no longer exist. Not like trapped in the soul stone or anything like that.
Starting point is 02:01:48 No, they're gone. Because the soul stone does trap souls. I guess so. I think they'll be back. Yeah, I completely agree. I think this will become some sort of parallel dimension, split dimension thing. Yeah. I think it'll just be they're gone and they'll be back.
Starting point is 02:01:59 All right, how about this, Mason? This is non-Avengers Infinity War. Ah, what? Jens, have you watched Gunpowder on HBO starring Kit Harington? It's about the plot to blow up Parliament in the 1600s. I haven't. It's from Matt. That sounds good.
Starting point is 02:02:09 It does sound good. Do we go on to an episode on it about that plot? Oh, then I don't need to watch the show. But it's also insane because it's so inept and everybody's so inept. Yeah, right. In that scenario, like they're storing gunpowder and firewood or whatever under the, you know, and people are like, that's probably nothing. And then the King whatever under the, you know, and people like, that's probably nothing.
Starting point is 02:02:25 And then the King's like, maybe you should see if it's not nothing. Yeah. Right. So it was very, very nearly happened, even though everybody was really bad at it. That's true.
Starting point is 02:02:34 Yeah. Anything else? No, that'll do it. Okay. Then thanks for people sending in your thoughts. There's, there's so many,
