This episode is brought to you by Movement Watchers,
and it's also brought to you by Marvel and Vans. Oh my goodness. What a combo of things. Yes. Let's
podcast. Okay. Welcome back everybody to another episode of The Weekly Planet
where we talk movies and comics and TV shows.
My name is James, also known as Mr. Sunday.
With me is always my co-host Nick Mason.
Hello!
Nick Mason, I just realised, pad while I put the cushions on the floor.
Uh-oh, the echo cushions.
Oh no, this is surreal.
This is happening.
He's unlocked the door.
He's slid the door open.
He's thrown away the cushions
that are too small to prevent echo the dogs come in oh this is a nightmare he's screaming all the
cushions are here okay hello dog hello hello dog yeah you yeah all right you're here okay
dogs missed me clearly if this is your first time listening, feel free to not stick around.
That's absolutely fine.
It's always somebody's first podcast, isn't it?
Well, it's good that that happened because I had nothing.
I haven't been doing anything.
Actually, no, I have.
I've been on two podcasts this week.
You told me that just before we started.
I sure did.
What have you been on?
I was on the most recent episode of It's a Duck Blur.
A very good show.
My friends over, Sarah and Michael, who talk about every episode of DuckTales, but they've finished talking about DuckTales.
Yeah.
So now they're talking about Darkwing Duck.
Which episode did you do of Darkwing Duck?
The one where he turns into Spider-Man or a thinly veiled Spider-Man copy.
What?
So we went from a thinly veiled Batman copy.
Correct.
Is it good?
It's good, yeah.
I remember liking that show.
I mean, the show's terrible.
Is it?
Yeah, it's so bad.
Is it worse than DuckTales?
You know what?
This apparently was an episode that was never re-aired.
Like, they aired it once.
And they...
I mean, maybe it's because you say Darkwing's corkscrew dick.
But maybe not.
I don't know.
It's probably that.
No, I think it's probably because it's a weird Spider-Man parody or something like that.
And then I was also on an episode of a show called Webby vs. Nostalgia
where my friend Jeremy Webb, Webby, goes through like old people.
Not old people.
I'm not an old person.
He runs right through them.
He runs through old people.
No, he and a guest go through like people's old video games
that they loved as kids.
Oh, great.
And he plays them and he looks at them with videos.
What did you do?
I can't remember.
This was a while ago.
That's right. You recorded this like comedy festival. Yeah, but I remember. What did you do? I can't remember. This was a while ago. That's right.
You recorded this like comedy first.
Yeah.
But I remember definitely we did talk about The Secret of Monkey Island.
Oh, great.
That was a game, wasn't it?
Oh, yeah.
I never played it.
But that's it.
I had a good old fun time with that episode.
Fantastico.
I love podcasting.
Well, Mason, why have you been flittering about town?
I've been losing my mind.
How so?
Because Claire's been in Darwin for like the fifth day now.
For anybody who doesn't know darwin's
like the northern territory imagine the opposite of australia to where i currently am yeah pretty
much but not the not the opposite of australia as you perceive it it's exactly how you perceive
australia because it's hot and it's out in the bush and there's crocodiles everything
kill you up there yeah you'll get bitten you'll get bitten just people yeah animals whatever
doesn't matter exactly people are just running through old people webby style that's right he Everything can kill you up there. Yeah, you'll get bitten. You'll get bitten. Just people, animals, whatever.
Doesn't matter.
Yeah, exactly.
People are just running through old people, webby style.
That's right.
He did the sound stuff at our live show, didn't he? Yes, he did.
Yeah, yeah.
Good on him.
What a good old fella.
Good egg.
All right, Mason.
Let's do this show.
It's been a bloody, it's a bumper week, Mason.
It's a bumper week.
It's a bonzer week for content.
What's bonzer for content?
Sometimes we pad.
Hashtag bonzer for content. What's whenza for content? Sometimes we pad. Hashtag Bonza for content.
What's when we have a bad week?
What would it be?
So if it's a good week, it's Bonza for content.
Dabbing for...
Why would it be dabbing?
Because dabbing's sad.
It's the saddest thing.
Yes.
Okay.
I mean, I know it's not supposed to be a sad thing,
but it's the saddest thing, right?
I was hoping for some sort of Australian reference for sad.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay, fine.
It's a real Nigel No-Mates for content.
It's a real Drongo for no-gotten.
Yeah, okay, I love it.
It's Drongo for content.
That's what we're using.
Doesn't rhyme, though.
Doesn't matter.
You have to think about it.
Okay, it's Bonza and Drongo for content, but this week it's Bonza for content.
What did you think of the Halloween trailer?
I didn't understand it.
What is this movie called?
Halloween again?
Is it called Halloween?
Let me double check that.
It's just called Halloween, but there's already been one called Halloween.
There has been.
The first one.
And I think there's already been a remake called Halloween.
Yeah.
Well, Rob Zombie did it.
They did four or five sequels.
I guess there's no...
Three is not connected.
I guess there's no rule against it.
There's a rule against it, Mace.
No, there's not.
Okay.
Man, I'm Bonzer for content this week.
But I didn't understand
because it seems, again,
having not really seen any of them.
I can explain it.
It seems to me that this is a direct sequel
to the first one.
And he's been,
Michael Myers, the killer from the first one,
has been in prison for 40 years?
For the Austin Powers films, yes.
Oh, terrific.
Or was it Love Guru?
I can't remember.
That's why they put him away
and locked away the gate. Yeah, okay, I okay I can explain this okay so they did reboot it in like
the mid to late 2000s Halloween H20 no no oh that was a sequel oh that they did Rob Zombie did his
own version where Michael Myers was abused as a kid and it's like ah darkness ah you know but
this is a direct sequel to the first I heard a metal song this week and the chorus was,
Welcome to a world of pain.
It's pretty fun, isn't it?
Yeah, it's pretty fun.
So ridiculous.
Was it a good song?
No.
Yeah, well, that chorus is out.
It's a good boy, isn't it?
So, yeah, so the second one, which was made three years after,
is set the same night,
and Michael gets out and comes back, and that's where it's revealed that he's her brother.
Right.
Because in the original film, he's not.
He's just a guy who killed, like, a babysitter and a couple other people or whatever,
and then he goes after...
So when you say this movie came out three years later,
you mean three years out of the original one was 40 years ago?
Okay, right.
It was 81 or something like that.
Right, okay.
Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen either of them, but've seen recaps and bad reviews you know what i mean i do actually
want to go back and and watch them we're going to question about that a bit later in in the tweet
tis but i think maybe they maybe they should have kept the second one because apparently that one's
okay but that means that i haven't seen it yeah right yeah but this is the thing to do now you
you just swipe away all the bad ones.
Just ignore.
I saw H2O in cinemas and I laughed my ass off.
I thought it was hilarious.
Like I was like 14 at the time or something like that when it came out.
Yeah, but you thought everything was hilarious.
That's true.
Boners you thought were hilarious.
I did.
She didn't list.
What a rot.
Yes.
No, but what was I going to say? H20.
H20.
Well, it's kind of different because this one looks like she's more on the front foot.
Yeah, right.
In H2O, which has nothing to do with water.
For a second, I'm like, is Michael Myers the one who doesn't like water?
No, that's Jason.
He doesn't like water.
But she's in hiding and she's trying to forget her past and she's changed her name or whatever. And then he comes after her. But this is similar, except she's in hiding and she's trying to forget her past and she's she's changed her name or
whatever and then he comes after her but this is similar except she's she's hunting him down
she's just been shooting dummies for 40 years waiting for it hasn't changed her hair or anything
okay she had the cool haircut remember in h2o oh yeah you've seen h2o no and the very h20 i want
to be clear it's h20 you don't just add water don't call it H20. It's Halloween H20.
Just add water.
You don't call it H20 and not think the people are going to think that.
I know.
But they did.
It's on them.
But I know.
I'm agreeing with you.
Yeah.
Have you seen any of these?
No.
Okay.
No.
Maybe we'll do an episode on the first couple of ones.
Is that why Mike Myers did the the film so i married an axe murderer
yes i don't know okay you've seen that movie no i remember thinking it was really funny but it was
probably started in 97 when yeah when you were everything was hilarious it was hilarious yeah
he's 60 though also that's the other thing that's not scary isn't it still be spry as a 60 well i
saw an interview where with the director and danny mc McBride co-wrote this as well for some reason.
And he said that he's like a Mickey Rock 60.
Okay, yeah.
So a terrifying monster.
A block of cement.
Yeah.
I think this could be good.
Oh, yeah.
Or nothing.
Right.
And then they'll just do another one in 20 years.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
Halloween H60.
But do you remember?
Hydrogen sulfide. i'll say this one
more thing i don't know what h60 is i'm gonna look it up you should look it up just quickly
okay i don't think it's anything isn't it i wouldn't think so at the end of h2o i'll also
do you recognize which zoom recorder is using the the investigator i didn't recognize it is that a
new model i think it's an old one it's not this. And it's not my other one that I have. Yeah, yeah.
The H60 is an all-in-one liquid CPU cooler.
Ah, I knew it.
Yeah, that's right.
We both knew it.
Can't wait.
Can't wait for another 20 years.
But at the end of H20... Yes.
Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Myers gets pinned by a tree trunk.
Oh, yes.
And he puts his hand out and she just beheads him with an axe.
Uh-huh. Oh, yes. And he puts his hand out and she just beheads him with an axe. But it turns out that he swapped...
He crushed the windpipe or the vocal cords of an ambulance guy
and swapped suits and got away.
So she beheaded an innocent man.
Right.
So he comes back in the next one and then Buster Rhymes kills him with Kung Fu.
All right, great.
Oh, you know what's going to happen in this one?
What's that?
They're going to be like... She's going to be in some dire straits and she's going to nearly be killed
by michael myers and then buster rhymes is going to show up ice cube style in triple x3 and she's
going to be like oh my god it's halloween 2014 or whatever it is and he's going to be like yeah
he's going to kung fu him again i think it's like 2002 or whatever it is whatever 2002 it is and he's gonna be like yeah he's gonna kung fu him again i think it's like 2002 or whatever
it is whatever 2002 it is yeah wow what a world oh my god it's halloween 2002 does that mean you
think we're gonna get jason again we're gonna get freddy again but not a reboot i think i saw a
when i looked at the trailer for halloween i saw a trailer for another nightmare in elm street
said nightmare in elm street 2018 but that can't be right.
No, I don't think so.
It must be a fan trailer or something.
I think the era of rebooting a property grittily is over,
and now the era of just doing another one is back.
You know?
Yeah, for sure.
Just do another one.
It's not as catchy.
No, it's not.
Yeah, but I'll take it.
Here's something that's a little bit catchy, Mason.
The Into the Spider-Verse trailer.
Very catchy.
What do you think of that?
I like the look of it a lot.
I like it a lot.
I don't know if I like the version of Spider-Man.
He seemed just like an old loser.
He was an old loser.
Yeah.
Isn't he a professor at that point or something?
Yeah, I would think so.
Or like the CEO of a big company.
Yeah.
But I thought they were going to go with kind of like, you know, he's in his maybe his late
20s.
Yeah.
And he's kind of trim and terrific. And he's, you you know he's a veteran crime fighter but he's still young and
cool right somebody to look up to but he's just like this guy who's like he's he's got no money
and he's just no money still yeah his wife's a supermodel might be divorced well i mean it's
possible this it seems like this is a guy from another dimension so maybe his money is different
money like maybe it has a different president on it.
So it's not going to work or something.
Right.
Or his card's not going to swipe.
Like a good president.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's like a good president.
Exactly.
Yeah.
We're in the darkest timeline.
But anyway.
I'm not implying anything, Mason.
I just said maybe they have a good president also.
Yeah.
Maybe there could be good presidents in every dimension.
Yeah.
That would be incredible.
Or maybe they're all bad.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Anyway, so go on.
I don't know. But he was just this weird loser. loser but all right i'll see how the rest of it goes
who was the voice it sounded like i could like craig bierko or somebody craig bierko
craig bierko is that guy who looks a bit like brendan fraser but he's not brendan fraser
well that's yeah like brendan fraser's brother no i don't think he's brendan fraser okay here we go
i like this well speaking of do you know that brendan fraser's in that new show condor Well, that's like Brendan Fraser's brother? No, I don't think he's Brendan Fraser's brother. Okay, here we go.
I like this.
Speaking of, do you know that Brendan Fraser's in that new show Condor?
What's Condor?
Is that the one?
No.
Which one's that?
It's gone Stan, but it's... Has he got a cowboy hat?
No.
I keep seeing an image of him with a cowboy hat.
It's a TV version of Three Days of the Condor, that old movie.
Okay.
With what's his face in it?
That guy you like.
Robert Redford.
Okay. That guy that I like. Yeah, the guy that you like. My dad? Yeah, your dad's in it. That guy you like. Robert Redford. That guy that I like.
Yeah, the guy that you like.
My dad?
Yeah, your dad.
Who's that guy that I like?
Yeah.
I think Liev Schreiber is like Kingpin, I think.
Yeah, okay, right.
Which is good casting, I think.
Oh, it's Jake Johnson is Spider-Man.
Oh, the guy from Jurassic World.
And Hayley Steinfeld is Gwen Stacy.
Miles Morales, perfect.
Yeah, perfect, dead on.
What do you think of that, though?
I love it.
I made a video on this a few years back
on how they should make a Spider-Verse movie.
I thought they were going to do a live-action one.
Yeah, yeah.
I think this is a really great idea.
How many Spider-Verses do you think there's going to be?
I think we're going to get so many.
I think it's going to hit a point.
You're going to be like, this is ridiculous.
Yeah, we're going to get Spider-Ham and Doppelganger
and Tobey Maguire.
Oh, what if there was a live...
What if they threw in a live action movie version?
Oh my God, can you imagine?
Well, that's what I've been saying.
But not like an animated version.
I agree with you.
I know what you're saying.
And I'm with you.
100%.
And they're like, what the hell's with this guy?
What's wrong with him?
But I've been saying that they should...
That's Craig Bjerke.
I don't know who that is.
Okay, fine.
What else is he in?
I don't know.
Is he the jazz guy from Sex and the City?
No, I don't think so.
I don't believe you.
Okay.
How do you spell Bjerko?
B-I-E-R-K-O.
He is in Sex and the City.
Oh, right.
He is the jazz guy.
Oh, he's the jazz guy.
I just guessed that.
I didn't really know that. I just took a guess. I knew that. Well, I mean, surely it was an educated guess. It's not like you went out and the City. He is the jazz guy. He's the jazz guy. I just guessed that. I didn't really know that.
I just took a guess.
I knew that.
Well, I mean, surely it was an educated guess.
It's not like you went out of the blue.
Is he the jazz guy?
I 100% knew it was.
I was going to say.
Yeah.
I'm just going to say some random words and see if that's accurate.
Is he a jazz guy in Sex and the City?
Oh.
Lily Tomlin as May Parker.
They're going old again.
Yeah, okay.
Interesting.
Interesting choice. Yeah. No, I think she's great. Cool. No, I think this is going to be... Lily Tomlin as May Parker they're going old again yeah okay interesting interesting choice
yeah
no I think she's great
cool
no I think this is gonna be
good
I'm hoping for
Spider-Ham
and Spider-Man Noir
yeah right
I think we'll get
and Spider-Man 2099
okay
yeah I think we'll get all of that
and live action
Tobey Maguire
yeah
just really awkwardly
like you can see
the green screen
jagged edge around him
100%
100% they should put him in.
It's not going to happen, but imagine.
Well, that's what I think they should do in the live action films though.
I think they should do a Spider-Verse movie and bring back Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield.
Yeah.
It doesn't have to be the whole thing.
Just to make fun of him a bit.
Yeah, nice.
Just to see who's got taller hair.
Then beat him up.
Yeah.
Obviously it's Andrew Garfield.
Yes.
Unless Tobey Maguire comes back in and he's like well i can't beat him on acting chops or likability but i'll get bigger hair
so the biggest hair you've ever seen i remember the great gatsby the other day it was fine i
like that movie is that a good movie yeah i don't think a lot of people liked it but i did okay yeah
does a lot of it feel green screened no No. Really? Okay. All right. Fair enough.
That's right.
Well, that's fantastic news for everybody that we know.
All right.
What else we got here?
There's an interesting bit of news.
This might be the best bit of news you've ever heard.
Oh, wow.
Warner Brothers is developing a Jared Leto-led Joker spinoff movie.
Another one.
Is this six?
What are we up to now?
In terms of what?
The number of Joker movies they potentially have in production.
There's this one.
There's the Joaquin Phoenix.
I guess you could count the Harley movie because it'll probably turn up in that.
Potentially the Batman.
I don't know.
I don't really know.
Why is this happening though?
Who knows?
I mean.
Who knows?
I don't think.
He's not the linchpin of this.
If you're going to spin off this universe, spin it off Wonder Woman.
That's what you should be doing.
Yeah, for sure.
Everything should come off that.
Our good buddy, Andrew Levins,
over at the Serious Issues and HeyFam podcast,
he put up a list recently of all the current...
All the projects that DC have said they're going to be doing,
of which there is no evidence, pretty much.
Yes.
Are you ready for this?
I'm ready for the list.
Bat Girl, Birds of Prey, Nightwing, should we say whether these are going to happen? Oh, yeah, for much. Yes. Are you ready for this? I'm ready for the list. Batgirl, Birds of Prey, Nightwing,
should we say whether these are going to happen?
Oh, yeah, for sure.
Batgirl.
I think that's dead, yeah.
Birds of Prey.
No.
There might be something else at the moment.
Yeah, right.
Nightwing.
No.
I think Chris, who's that guy?
O'Dowd.
No.
From the It Crowd.
He would be a good Nightwing.
I think so.
Deathstroke?
I have no idea
There's no way
Look
If the next one fails
They're cancelling all of these
And starting again
But they'll be like
Look we're starting the slate clean
But we're going to kick it off with Batman
And we're going to kick it off with Deathstroke
And we're going to kick it off with The Flash
Maybe
The Batman
I think that one will happen
Yeah that'll
Yeah okay
Flashpoint I think that is
happening right okay it might not have a director at the moment great i can't remember new gods i
think that one's gonna happen i would like to see that happen because that's a that's a fresh new
direction yes and there's nothing really that's that's that's like what marvel did in the sense
when they kicked off it was a bunch of b-listers. Yeah. And nobody, ultimately the mainstream world wouldn't really care
if they screwed it up that badly.
Because you'd be like, new gods, who are they?
And people would be like, I don't know.
So if they wildly deviate from the source material,
the source material.
Very good.
Then people wouldn't notice as much, I guess.
Wow.
Yeah, I know.
Bonza.
I mean, all they have to do is make it good, which they won't.
Well, Ava DuVernay's doing it, who did that movie, which I didn't see.
Nobody saw it.
No, nobody did see it.
Or millions of people saw it?
I don't know.
No, nobody saw it.
Okay, right.
He's got the Flash here again.
Did they change Flashpoint to just a Flash movie?
Maybe.
They might have.
Just another Flash movie.
Call in, Levins, if you can tell us.
Did they make it a Flash mob, maybe?
That may be a Flash mob.
We're re-releasing all these movies as flash mobs cyborg they announced that a couple years back
just before like batman superman because they're like this is what's coming up cyborg not happening
never happening you know why because that character has no defining traits of at all and he's boring
he's boring oh yeah for sure you should and again that's i was gonna say that's his. He's boring. Oh, yeah, for sure. You should probably move. That's what I was going to say.
That's his line.
That's his line that they cut out.
He had one wicked sick line in Justice League.
You should probably move.
But then in the trailer, they cut it out.
Wild.
I was crossing my fingers and crossing my legs in the movie theater waiting for him to do that.
And then I would have stood up and fist pumped.
Yeah, he said it.
He politely asked some people to move.
Good guys, bad guys?
I don't know.
That's when you turned on Justice League.
But the reason they took that out is because Superman throws a car and it nearly hits cops.
And he stops the car.
And I guess they didn't want to be like, is Superman still a killer?
Superman's going to kill you, law enforcement officials.
He's going to kill you.
You should probably move. He's not right in the head, this boy. Superman's going to kill you, law enforcement officials. He's going to kill you. You should probably move.
He's not right in the head, this boy.
He's going to kill you.
I don't know.
I'm not.
I mean, he could kill us all.
We threw an electric box at his corpse, so now he's angry.
It's really nothing.
We're just more or less regular people compared to him.
I don't know.
But that's the thing, isn't it?
All of them Fighting Superman Should stand
Somewhat of a chance
That's what I'm saying
That's why that movie's so bad
That's not the only reason
Look I had fun with it
We all did
Alright
Just back up
Alright
We're not halfway
Oh boy
Gotham City Sirens
I don't know what that is anymore
No
Was that the Birds of Prey one
That was the
I think that's Birds of Prey
Combined
So it's the
It's Harley
See but that's the thing It'd combined. So it's the, it's Harley,
see,
but that's the thing,
it'd be Harley,
Poison Ivy,
Black Canary,
I don't know.
But that's the thing,
like if they're doing a Harley movie,
are they also doing
a Birds of Prey
and a Gotham City Sirens?
Surely not.
I don't know.
Suicide Squad 2?
No,
I don't know.
Why would I know?
I don't know.
Suicide Squad 2
got a new writer this week,
Todd Stashwick.
He was in that cancelled Star Wars game, which I thought was going to be a game that I could
play.
No, it's not happening, mate.
We'll get back to EA.
That's some Drongo content right there.
Boy, is it.
Harley Quinn.
That will probably happen, I want to say.
Yeah, I mean, she'd be the standout.
Blackhawk.
That was a recent-ish one. I want to see that one. I would love to see Blackhawk. That was a recent-ish one.
I want to see that one.
I would love to see Blackhawk.
Because it's a weird 1940s.
Wasn't Spielberg?
Am I talking about Spielberg?
Yeah, it was, yeah.
I don't...
Okay.
Green Lantern Corps.
You know what?
I don't think they would,
just because they've...
Currently, because they've had such a bad run,
they don't want to remind people of when
the movies were
even more terrible
and also Deadpool 2
just took a whole bunch
of swipes
at Green Lantern
so
but maybe
because it's in the consciousness
that's when you do it
yeah I guess
because like you do
Guardians of the Galaxy
and you bring in the planet
obviously you bring in
Lobot
no it's Lobo
but imagine a Lobot
spin-off
I love it
Lobo who's Lobo at But imagine a Lobot spinoff. I love it.
Lobo?
Who's Lobo at the moment?
I think he's skinny again.
I don't think he is, is he?
Yeah, I don't know.
Wasn't he not a weird hipster poser?
And then the real one showed up?
Yeah, okay, maybe.
All right.
Look, I don't know.
You know who they should have cast as Lobo, but they can't now.
Jason Momoa?
Exactly.
They can't do it now.
The problem is, is that all, almost all superhero,
the male superheroes,
are these enormous,
broadside of a barn characters.
And the only people who could realistically play them are The Rock and Jason Momoa.
That's right.
And they've already cast him.
Maybe John Cena.
Yeah, right?
You'd probably make him a Green Lantern.
John Cena?
Yeah.
Like a big one.
Like a big pig-faced alien one.
No, I was going to say you'd make him Guy Gardner.
You'd absolutely make him Guy Gardner.
You're 100% right.
Give him the bowl cut.
Yes, you're 100% right.
That'd be so good.
All right.
A Joker movie and then another Joker movie.
I think the Joker movie, the Joaquin Phoenix one,
looks like it's probably going to happen.
Yeah.
The thing is, if they kept these movies rolling,
if they were making two or three a year,
and just playing through them like Marvel,
I could actually see them doing Joaquin Phoenix Joker,
Jared Leto Joker.
Yes.
Because there was this weird plot thread in the comic books
that they never really picked up on,
which was that Batman discovers that there's been more than one Joker.
Maybe they're going to look at that in that Watchmen comic.
Yeah.
But I think if you kept it rolling, you could just be like,
okay, there's one in the 80s and now there's a modern one.
What's going on?
There's a mystery.
Let's uncover the mystery kind of thing.
But if you're only making one every two years,
you're just going to confuse people.
I don't think...
We're not getting one till Aquaman.
Great.
Which I think could be great.
It could be great.
Genuinely.
It's a movie that's literally been made.
We haven't seen a trailer.
We can Comic-Con.
Okay.
Anyway, all that sounds like it's...
This is a nightmare.
Yeah.
Why are you announcing so much shit?
You know how many movies that Marvel haven't made that they've announced?
I don't know.
Like three?
One.
Oh.
In humans.
It's probably more than one.
Yeah.
But the only one that they've officially announced is that.
And then there was a TV show on and they binned it.
There's probably another one.
But I don't remember because they make movies.
Yeah, right.
And even if you hate them, they make them, don't they?
They sure do, yeah.
Like three a year.
Yeah, yeah.
And they all do well.
Yeah.
I don't understand.
They've got the money. Yeah. I don't understand. What, like, they've got the money.
Yeah.
Just put up, just make them.
Just make six in this year.
Yeah.
And then whichever one is the good one, make a sequel to it.
It's not hard.
The Blumhouse model.
Yeah.
Do them cheap.
One of them will hit.
Yeah.
Okay.
I've seen Blumhouse a lot recently.
They're everywhere, mate.
Okay.
Yeah.
It's doing well. Yeah. Let's get out. It's the one we saw yesterday, lot recently. They're everywhere, mate. Okay. Yeah, it's been a while.
Let's get out.
It's the one we saw yesterday, which we'll talk about in a bit.
Okay, Mason, this is another bit of news.
Game of Thrones spinoff, it's been confirmed as what the story is.
You ready?
Yeah, I'm ready.
Do you want to know what the story was?
I don't know.
Do you want to tell me what the story was?
I absolutely have no idea what the story was, and I won't pretend to care.
Wow.
Brutal.
Do you want me to skip this one? No, go ahead. I would like to care. Wow. Brutal. Do you want me to skip this one?
No, go ahead.
I would like to know.
It's set thousands of years in the past.
Ooh.
And the series chronicles
the world's descent
from the golden age of heroes
into its darkest hour.
And the one thing is for sure,
from the horrifying secrets
of Westeros history
to the true origin
of the White Walkers.
It's going to be warm.
It's going to be snow.
Oh.
Because I think they're going to hit
the long night.
The big old winter, they call it.
I was hoping for Game of Thrones goes tropical.
Maybe it'll start tropical.
Yeah, I hope so.
Five or 10,000 years in the past, I can't remember.
There was a big old winter and then fucking spiders rat everywhere.
Like big old spiders.
How big?
Big as hounds, they say.
Ooh.
Yeah, so what do you think of that?
That's pretty good.
Yeah, okay. Big as the How big? Big as hounds, they say. Yeah. So what do you think of that? That's pretty good. Yeah.
Okay.
Big as the hound?
Bigger, maybe.
Wow.
He's pretty big, too.
He's a big man.
He'd be a good Lobo.
He would be a good Lobo.
Yeah.
He's a good actor.
He could definitely do it.
See, I was kind of hoping, like, the Game of Thrones theme, but on a steel drum.
You know? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. That's right. Everybody but on a steel drum. You know?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
That's right.
Everybody's in a hammock.
God, I hope.
Drinking a tropical drink out of a pineapple.
If that exists, I'll put it at the end of this episode.
All right.
Okay.
Good.
All right.
I think it's going to chronicle the history of the House Stark and House Lannister.
Okay. And all that kind of thing. And how they got Casterly Rock, and House Lannister. Okay.
And all that kind of thing, and how they got Casterly Rock, which is Lannister's home,
and whatnot.
Anyway, that sounds great.
It sounds like also they might be launching straight into magic.
Oh, good.
I do like magic.
Don't be dicking around with four years of non-magic.
Yes, exactly.
Well, if this is some sort of golden age, surely it's a golden age where they're just throwing magic out willy-nilly.
It's a Bonser age for magic.
It's a Bonser age for magic, absolutely.
I also think it's...
I like that it's set so far in the past,
so it's not like,
when are we going to see baby Ned Stark?
It's like, no, it doesn't matter.
Anyone can die.
Anything can kind of happen to a point.
Apparently it's not going to happen how we think it's kind of going to happen,
but good.
More Game of Thrones, Mason, not less Game of Thrones.
I mean, if it happens exactly how we're thinking it's going to happen,
where's the fun there?
That's a good point.
Mm-hmm.
All right, are you ready for the next trailer to talk about?
Yes.
Wreck-It Ralph Breaks the Internet 2.
Twice.
Not super keen on this.
I did not like this trailer.
It looks like the Emoji movie.
Yeah.
And it looks very much...
Yeah, look at Google.
Look at all this.
Yeah.
I think anytime they really...
I don't know.
Just...
Anytime Google is involved...
Remember that movie where Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson...
They worked for Google.
They worked for Google.
Yeah, I saw it.
It's fine.
I don't know
like it's not
it's not great
yeah right
it's just
it exists
you know what I mean
oh I know what you mean
yeah I don't know
I mean I kind of like
the Disney princess
when they're all in the one room
yeah that was kind of fun
that was kind of fun
but everything else
is just like
it's just going to be
memes and dabbing
and I just
it's probably going to be
better than that
because the first one's
quite good
but I don't really care about this.
Like I cared a little bit about it and now I don't care about it at all.
And also the,
the,
just the entire concept seems a bit dated.
Cause it's like,
why wouldn't it be wrecked?
Ralph wrecks the internet.
Cause it's breaks the internet.
You mean that thing that happened like three years ago?
Yeah.
The Kim Kardashian thing.
Yeah.
From years ago.
Yeah.
Okay.
Great.
Yeah.
So, nup. Nup. Okay, great. Yeah.
Nup.
Nup.
Not on board.
Anything else to say about this?
Nup.
Okay, let's do an ad.
Okay.

Have created a line of Marvel Vans shoes They have We've got them right here this week and they're sweet as sweet as i'm really
happy what do you got i got well obviously because i'm a real jokester you are i got a pair of
deadpool yes skate highs i don't know if you're aware of this they've got because they're red and
black yeah obviously they've got a little throwing star on the inside very good say that they've got
a little they've got a little if you look in the inside of the tongue they've got a lot they've got a little throwing star on the inside. Oh, very good. You can see that. They've got a little... If you look on the inside of the tongue,
they've got some tacos and chimichangas in there.
I like the attention to detail.
Me too.
Me too.
It's got Easter eggs in a shoe.
A little tag here.
Earth 616 is number one skateboard shoe.
Is that true?
Yeah, I think so.
It's on the bottom.
It's a splatter of some sort.
It's like, I stepped in gum.
Stepped in gum.
But it's fake.
It's fake gum.
I didn't know there was going to be pranks in this shoe.
Yeah.
Or it's blood because it's on both but in different spots on the back of the shoe.
I got the Captain Marvel ones.
Yes.
Luckily because they come in my size.
Because Claire and I both got the Captain Marvel ones and we're going to wear them to the skate park together.
As a team?
Yeah, we're going to start skating.
You're going to be one of those insufferable couples aren't you that's correct yeah no but
they're really great they're really fantastic and depending on where in the world there's there's
different there's different versions i don't think the black panther ones are here yet but
that but i know hopefully one day hopefully one day yeah i can just order them from overseas oh
they got that new shoe smell i sniffed them yeah i mean, to be fair, I sniff all shoes.
That's true. Yeah, it's a thing that I like.
The extensive range of co-branded footwear,
apparel and accessories features an all-star
roster including the Avengers, Captain Marvel,
Deadpool, Iron Man, Hulk and more.
They've got
some wild ones, they've got some subtle ones, which I like.
That's right. If you want a
crazy one, you can get a crazy
one. If you want one that's like, they look like normal shoes, but if you look a little closer,
they're Marvel shoes.
That's right.
You got those as well.
You got those ones as well.
It's actually a competition for our Australian listeners to win three pairs of shoes.
Bonser content for Australian listeners.
100% for the Marvel Vans collection.
collection if you visit www.vans.com oh sorry i'll start again www.vans.com.au slash planet broadcasting and answer the question which superhero would be the best skateboarder
and why and last week we said we definitively knew who it was but we're not i've thought about
it oh yeah i think it's somebody different really oh i just did a did a little a little
mime okay all, all right.
I think that person would be a better skater.
Do you think that's an unfair advantage, though?
Yes, but that's okay.
That's true.
It's objectively who's the best.
Yeah, it's not who's got an advantage.
That's true.
I think maybe, okay, you might be right.
I might be right, Mason.
Yeah, okay.
But we'll see.
But there are no wrong answers.
Yeah.
Except for the one we said last week.
Yeah, that's true.
Which we didn't say out loud.
The competition runs from the 4th of June, which has passed, to the 15th of June.
Which is very soon.
Which is very soon.
So you need to bloody get on this whip smart.
Get your skates on, as it were.
That's right.
Get your bloody skates on.
And the Vans Marvel Collection will be available at shops at Vans retail stores globally beginning
June 8th, which means they're out already.
And if you visit vans.com.au, there's more information.
So yeah.
I love information.
Wherever you are in the world.
I never, I'm not a shoes guy, right?
Like I'm not a cars guy.
When I got those shoes, I'm like, I get it.
I don't even want to wear them, which sounds ridiculous,
but I will wear them, Mason.
You should wear them.
Yeah, I'll wear them with Claire to the skate park, as mentioned.
So yeah, if you go to,
but if you do go to vans.com.au slash planet broadcasting, you
can win a pair potentially.
Nice.
It's an exciting time to be alive, but yeah, but they're all, they're everywhere.
Get some.
They're great.
They're really great.
And that's all the things.
That's correct.
Shoes.
Love it.
Model engines, City of Bones.
London's on London's a
on wheels
yep
we're talking about that
we're talking about that weird trailer
I just as a
look we got the full look at
this universe
and I'm like
how did the world get to this point
City on Wheels
how do you start
logistically how does this work
you know what I mean
I see with
with
with Snowpiercer
where everyone lives on a train and each carriage has like a fish tank or Tilda Swinton.
Yeah, sure.
I get it because it's a metaphor, right?
It's a metaphor, but also back to what I was saying, the infrastructure for the train network is already there.
That's true.
You don't think the infrastructure for London on wheels is already there?
No, I do not.
Okay.
So this is a Peter...
I thought this was Peter Jackson directed, but it's not.
He's producing.
Yeah, right.
Hugo Weaving's got his best wig out on.
It said, from the filmmakers behind Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.
Yeah, right, yeah.
Which is a very...
They're getting better at concealing that.
Yes.
The director of the film he loved is not directing this movie.
Yeah, absolutely, yeah.
From the dudes who brought you The Hobbits.
From the minds.
So I'm just looking at this trailer now
because I can't really remember it.
So one of them's got the power to see a little bit ahead in the future.
So she stops Hugo Weaving,
or he stops Hugo Weaving being stabbed,
and then they fall down into London on wheels,
and then maybe they fall in love, and they stop Hugo Weaving or whatever.
Great.
Is that everything?
Yeah.
You know what's interesting about it?
Not a lot.
Not a lot.
But I think one thing is that the main protagonist is a woman who has a really quite visible scarring on her face.
It isn't like, remember know, remember Red and White?
She's like, oh my God, don't look at me.
I'm so ugly.
I'm a monster.
I've got a slight discoloration on a very small part of my face.
I'm a monster.
But this, they're like, she's got a really visible, very deep scar.
And they're just like, well, that's the character.
They weren't like, well, this is based on books, right?
Yes, I believe so.
So they weren't like, yeah, you know what? Let yes I believe so they weren't like yeah you know what
let's say it's just a slight
let's not say it's just a cut
over her eyebrow
or something like that
let's say it's how it is
in the book I assume
yeah I think it's worse
in the book
oh well okay
but it's not like
she's not missing a nose
yeah right
she still just looks like
an attractive person
nice
you're being a little harsh Mason
all I'm saying
but this is uh
no I don't know
I'll see it probably.
But I feel like this, I thought they stopped making these.
Like these teen dystopian future.
Yeah, right.
The era was over, right?
That was my understanding.
That's what we thought.
Last gasp.
Back, baby.
But this is, you know, this is wetter and there's a lot of good people involved in this.
I think Fran Walsh.
Drescher.
Yeah, Fran Drescher wrote it.
Huh.
Who's involved in
lord of the rings like maybe wrote it or whatever i might be wrong there i read some stuff on it
then i immediately forgot okay but you know that's okay i would probably watch this i mean we'll have
to we will watch it but do you think you would have watched it independently of this show where
you have to watch things uh i kind of would like to watch it to see if there's some sort of origin story
as to how all the cities went on wheels.
I think there's some nukes or something went off.
Again, I briefly read up on this.
Okay, great.
And some people are like, can't we just live on the earth?
And people are like, no, everything's on wheels.
You're not listening to me.
So you go way big.
Okay, right.
Yeah.
And so that's kind of the idea.
But bigger cities, smaller, like it's all about resources.
And bigger cities swallow up smaller cities on wheels.
Cool.
They city of bones.
Yeah, you know it.
Or portal engines.
Engines, yeah.
How many bones?
Just get rid of the, you've got a big, like,
you've got a lot of London architecture on that thing.
You really do. You can probably get rid of a lot of it. You know what I mean? What've got a lot of London architecture on that thing. You really do.
You can probably get rid of a lot of it.
You know what I mean?
What is that?
Is that Parliament?
I can't remember.
Is that the Houses of Parliament on there?
I don't remember what's on there.
Yeah, exactly.
It's just...
Get rid of some of the fish and chip shops.
Get rid of...
Exactly.
Get rid of bloody...
What's another landmark in England?
The Doctor Who Museum.
You probably don't need that.
Ridic.
Do you think they've got BBC Studios in there and all sorts of stuff?
Probably, yeah.
I just got it all.
I need to prioritize.
I'm too tired.
Let's think of another dumb England landmark.
London landmark.
The Bovril Factory.
The Bovril Factory.
Thank you.
Thank you.
No, that you keep.
I bet that shit burns.
I bet it's like fuel.
Yeah, right?
Good work.
The other trailer we got, which I quite liked, was the Lego Movie 2.
Mm-hmm.
This looked fun.
It did look fun.
Everything's gone Mad Max-y.
Yeah.
I'm sort of indifferent to Lego movies.
Did you like the first one?
Have you seen the first one?
Yes.
Did you like the Batman movie?
Mostly.
Okay.
I don't know. There's something about them. It doesn't like the Batman movie mostly okay I don't know
there's something about them
it doesn't
they never grab me
I don't know what it is
are you not a child at heart
no
you fucking monster
I've always been this age
okay
so
I've just got E3 on here
and it's a very boring man
standing on stage
doing a
doing a chat
Car Will
is he doing a Car Will
he's boring
but he's tried his best
I don't know what he's saying
but he's probably like the future of gaming, but he's tried his best. I don't know what he's saying, but he's probably like,
the future of gaming is streaming.
It's all about being online and connectivity.
We've talked to kids,
and what they love is they love
always being online and streaming
and paying for everything in tiny transactions
that their parents can't track.
It's what they like.
They like always being online and buying more content.
They don't like self-contained games that you can enjoy in always being online and buying more content they don't like
self contained games
that you can enjoy
in one sitting
they like more content
that's all I want
yeah
that's all I want Mason
same
yeah
me too
do you think you'd get back
into gaming if that happened
if they made that switch
yes
where you could just get a game
that's like 8 hours long
and then you play it
and then you throw it in the bin
yes
yeah
and you know what
I would want
you put the disc in you close the thing it starts up and it plays oh my god i don't have to i don't want
to have to download any patches so many and and there's a new thing for the system and you know
what i mean like it needs a new whatever and that music player you never needed yeah right
yeah right yeah yeah i always put it off until like i really need it yeah and then it then it forces it on me
that it's like no today's the day yeah this is gonna take six hours whatever you think you're
doing you're not doing it no yeah all right what do we got here uh no lego movie though okay so
at the do you remember the end end of the first lego lego movie vaguely the the because it's sort of set the real world
is a parallel
and
the Lego City is
a kid's
toys
that's right
the dad is working with him
and he's all about structure
and gluing everything together
and the kid's all about
free form Lego making
yeah right
and both are fine
but if you're one of those
structured dudes
nah
really
no
interesting
I know a guy right and he's well
into lego uh-huh his name's martin he's a teacher okay cool dude he's got abs he plays footy right
oh wow he's got a lot of diverse he's got some bonds or interests definitely i mean he has a
room dedicated to lego at his house and he once said to me he's like you're like it's devoted
it's devoted to lego and murder it's in his basement he's like, you're like nerd. It's devoted to Lego and murder. That's right. It's in his basement.
He's got a Lego bloody coroner's slab.
Yeah, that's right.
Exactly.
And he kills people on it.
Kills people on it.
He's like, you like nerd stuff.
And I'm like, you have a fucking room full of Lego.
Anyway, but he's one of those guys where he's like, I've got my town.
It's got an airport.
It's got a hospital.
It's got an insurance firm.
You know what I mean?
Like, it's just all this. this oh I see what you're saying
yeah yeah
I thought you meant
in the sense of like
people who build the kits
like I've got a
Millennium Falcon
and they put it together
yeah I'm okay with
any of that
but I just don't understand
why you just wouldn't
want to do like
a bit of everything
every now and then
I'll be like
you should get a pirate ship
and he's like
no because this doesn't fit
there's no room for the
no no
Death Star
yeah so he's like there's no room for a pirate ship in He's like, no, because this doesn't fit. There's no room for the pirate ship. No, no, Death Star.
Yeah.
So he's like, there's no room for a pirate ship in this city because where am I going to put it?
In the financial district?
I don't think so.
I mean, there's not bloody piracy bloody going on there,
am I right, Mason?
That's exactly right.
On Wall Street.
So what kind of Lego guy are you then?
I mean, if you buy a Millennium Falcon, you build it, obviously.
That's what I'm saying.
Yeah, that I understand.
I thought you meant some, I thought you were like, you want to be one of those guys who buys the Millennium Falcon, you build it, obviously. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, that I understand. I thought you meant some... I thought you were like, you want to be
one of those guys who buys the Millennium Falcon
set and just makes something else with it.
No! That's madness. No, no, no.
You're an agent of chaos, if that's the case.
But I think that would also be cool. Like, after you finish it,
make something else out of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What did you do as a kid?
Did you do some bloody
freestyle and Lego? I think I did freestyle, because I don't...
Because when I was... Kids were different
then as well. Kids were different then.
Back in my day.
Kids were different.
Kids.
I'm saying kids.
No, kids were different also.
Okay, sure.
But no, kids were different.
You couldn't really...
Like there was far fewer.
Like here's a Marvel one.
Here's a Star Wars one.
It was just...
Here's a car.
Space.
Space.
I remember.
I loved Lego Space.
Kids were different then though
Because they could lie
And you couldn't tell
Whether they were
There was no way to prove it
That's true
I feel like kids
Could be called out
For that pretty quickly
These days
Do you mean in regards
To Lego or just generally?
No in general
Kids would be like
My dad
He saw Mario 6
He works at Nintendo
And whatever
Yeah that's right
It's like did he?
I don't know
And you're like
Listen
Nowadays you can be like, listen, idiot.
I just saw the Nintendo Direct and there is no Mario 6 on the slate.
So I'm going to push you down these stairs.
Into the murder room.
All right.
Another trailer we got here.
Bumblebee.
Yep, I saw that.
Transformers.
Looks good.
Spin-off.
It does look good.
It's taken six movies.
We've gotten here to a good Transformers movie.
What is amazing about this is there's nothing in here which you wouldn't expect in a standard Transformers movie.
Yeah, right.
Transformers that look like Transformers.
Characters that are relatable.
Nobody farted on anybody else as far as we could see.
And we only really saw two Transformers in this, I think.
Yeah, Starscream and Bumblebee.
But they look distinct from one another.
And like the G1 versions, that Starscream is...
That's primo stuff, mate.
That's great.
And you know what?
The transformation, you can tell what's happening.
He just flips, his head comes out, that's it.
Like in the cartoons, like with the toys.
It's not just everything splits into a million gears
and then they just wobble around
and then they come back together and it's a robot.
It's not what we want.
That's not what a Transformer is.
They've got distinct bits.
Yeah, exactly.
Man.
Looks good.
Will it be good?
I don't know.
It mirrors the first one, like with the first car
and it's Bernie Mac's voice.
Somebody wrote, and I can't remember who,
was like, why is it Bernie Mac's voice? Because this movie is set 20 years before the first car and it's Bernie Mac's voice. Somebody wrote, and I can't remember who, was like, why is it Bernie Mac's voice?
Because this movie is set 20 years before the first one.
Did Bernie Mac sell that car to Hailee Steinfeld?
Maybe.
I mean, he's dead.
Yeah, for sure.
So they couldn't bring him back to do that.
But it's the same kind of, a lot of the narrative beats feel very familiar.
Yeah.
But everybody I like so much more in this.
Yeah, for sure.
Like John Cena, I'm like, I like him.
It's better than Mark Wahlberg screaming at people in the street.
So good.
I think the key, I think the best indicator of whether this is going to be a good movie
or not is when they release the runtime.
And if it's less than two hours, I think we're onto a winner.
Yeah, absolutely.
If it's like two hours and 40 minutes, I'm like, oh no. You've done it again.
I think it's going to be
on the shorter side though
because it's only
like a 60 or 70 million dollar film.
Yeah, right.
Which is why you've only
got a couple of Transformers.
There's going to be a few more
like Optimus Prime is in it
and Peter Cullen
says he's doing a voice
but I wonder if they're going
to do like Cybertron flashbacks.
Oh yeah, okay.
I did a video on it
on Trailer Breakdown actually.
I'll link it below.
I would think so
because there's got to be
a reason that Bumblebee is there.
Well, we know he was there, though, because of the war.
Oh, yeah.
He was around in World War II.
Remember that continuity?
Yeah, I remember that.
Winkle that they put in.
But I guess why did he come to Earth in the first place?
Scouting mission?
Maybe.
Maybe also he can't fly off like Optimus Prime can.
That's true, yeah.
Remember that?
He hasn't evolved a jetpack yet, so...
Yeah.
I remember when Optimus Prime from Poochie Star flew into space.
Yeah, it was so good.
Because he was just like, I guess I'll transform a jetpack out of my back.
I'd never thought to do that before.
Remember in Transformers 2 when I needed to steal wings off an old broken Transformer?
Yeah, I remember that.
Now I just don't.
Also, and I mentioned this in my trailer breakdown, Unicron is the Earth.
Yeah.
Maybe he's not the Earth anymore.
It feels like it's the
they were pretty insistent they were very insistent but wasn't he also another planet
no that was cybertron okay right was this because every second or so movie they try to bring
cybertron back to earth but yeah maybe it's filled with dark energy or something i don't know yeah
fuck these movies they're no good the only thing I'll say for this that I think is a negative
is that it should have been a reboot.
I mean, it is.
Yeah, for sure.
There's still some stuff that you've got to kind of work towards, I guess.
But also Transformers can be killed and come back.
It doesn't really matter.
I think movie studios are banking on us, the audience,
not remembering any previous movies.
Well, they don't remember what we did in the studio.
That's what I'm saying.
All the X-Men movies, these movies, I think they're just like, just pretend it doesn't happen. We'll be like, okay, we don't remember within the studio that's that's what i'm saying like all the x-men movies these movies i think they're just like just pretend it doesn't happen we'll be like okay
we don't really that's fine our attention spans don't work anymore yeah absolutely
good stuff the best stuff uh here's a rumor oh uh kathleen kennedy this this is just a rumor it
might be leaving lucasfilm in september and people are saying it's because Solo underperformed and whatever, whatever.
I don't know whether this is true or not.
How many DC films did they completely ruin?
You know what I mean?
All of them.
Most of them.
No.
Yeah, just most of them, sorry.
That was unnecessarily cruel.
Just most of them.
Yeah, I just feel, I don't know.
I mean, this could very well be true.
Also, maybe she wants to retire anyway.
Yeah, and there was that other thing. I don't know if you saw the Kelly Marie very well be true. Also, maybe she wants to retire anyway, but yeah. Yeah. And there was that other thing.
I don't know if you saw the,
uh,
Kelly Marie Tran left Instagram because of harassing her forever every day.
And that's obviously no good.
Well,
it's no good.
And it's all,
it's always like,
well,
look,
I don't mind.
I've got no problem with her,
but yeah,
well,
that's,
there's no,
but it's not like,
don't harass her.
She didn't create the character. She didn't write but. It's not like... Don't harass her. She didn't create the character.
She didn't write it.
She's not that character.
She didn't decide what her character was going to do.
Yeah.
She got a job, probably a dream job.
Yep.
She worked the job and people didn't like her character.
That's not an excuse.
Great.
Anyway, I think people were right to harass her, Mason.
Oh, wow.
And so do you, correct?
No.
Ah, I nearly got you.
You nearly got me. I nearly got nearly got you. You nearly got me.
I nearly got you.
You nearly got me.
The weird thing is as well,
and we've said this about multiple different fucking franchises,
if you love Luke Skywalker and you're sad that they ruined his legacy
and you hate everything that the new one is doing,
any version of Luke Skywalker doesn't harass people on Instagram.
Exactly, that's right.
Yeah, I always say that about when
they harass comic book
creators or whatever. I'm like, do you think
Captain America would do that? Do you think he spends his time
just telling people
he hopes they die on the internet? Of course he doesn't.
He might. He beats them up in real life.
It's on his list.
Cyber bully. It's on his list of
things to do. Star Wars
except the new ones.
They've been ruined.
We can do some E3 stuff,
but we'll probably talk about this a bit more next week
because we're in the midst of it as we're recording this.
I just saw they announced Doom Eternal,
which looks like it's going to be some kind of bloody...
I'm going to Queensland in a few weeks.
I think I'm going to get a Switch
so I can just play Doom on the go.
Yeah, right.
Because I haven't really played it properly.
I feel if I get a Switch,
it's going to consume my life forever. So? Yeah, good point. I've got nothing else going the go. Yeah, right. Because I haven't really played it properly. I feel if I get a Switch, it's going to consume my life forever.
So?
Yeah, good point.
I've got nothing else going on.
Good point, Mason.
Yes.
You are a loser.
Oh, what?
Some other things of note.
EA did a press conference that everybody hated.
I don't know if you caught any of that.
No, but that sounds like something EA would do.
Yeah.
What did they advertise?
They just rolled out this bog standard thing and whatever.
One of the things they announced was Command,
I think it was Command and Conqueror mobile.
Like on phones and stuff?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So that doesn't sound very cool.
I don't mind Command and Conqueror.
What do you think it's going to be on a phone though?
Maybe they're going to get it right.
I don't know.
No.
I can see that working.
Yeah, but you don't think it's going to be riddled with microtransactions.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
You need this certain thing. Oh, you you need that ship you can either give us four
bucks or you can wait 14 hours exactly you can churn through you can churn through or you can
wait overnight yeah and wake up to it or you can just buy it for a couple of bucks you're right
is it command and play conquer it's command and conquer conquer yeah you're right command and
conquer or something else yeah okay it's a free-to-play mobile title.
Oh, that's a trap.
That's never good.
That's definitely a trap.
When was the last time you downloaded a mobile game?
Because they're just junk now.
Yeah, it's been a long time.
I saw you can download Fortnite.
I don't know anything about Fortnite,
but apparently that's a game that everybody's playing.
Everybody's loving Fortnite, mate.
Oh, there's so many rad dudes coming out at this press conference.
Oh, yeah?
Oh, mate.
So many hand
gestures trying to rev up the crowd there's a mocap suit this is wild mason we're just gonna
we're just gonna do this for the rest of the show okay great who is who is on stage right now what
game company uh oh bethesda okay which i like i like them okay okay bethesda's got a mocap suit
out i think he just might be wearing a beanie it just looks like he's wearing a a mocap. Anyway, so EA also announced the title for their new Star Wars game
that's not Battlefront.
It's by the people who made Titanfall 2.
It's called Star Wars Jedi colon Fallen Order.
Star Wars Jedi colon.
Yeah, and you might be thinking, what era is it set in?
When do you think it's set?
Have a guess.
Fallen Order, just after the prequels.
Correct.
Look, we're all singing
that time period
we're singing
talking about Star Wars
I don't want to talk
about it for another year
but I think it's
probably a good time
to like
it's a
Padawan on the run
okay
you know what I mean
which I think could work
Padawan
on the run
Padawan
on the run
it works
Quake Champions okay sorry I just saw that the run. It works. Quake Champions.
Okay, sorry.
I just thought that came up.
Didn't they release Quake Champions like 10 years ago?
They probably put in a new...
New version, yeah.
Hot gun.
A new hot gun.
On a hot skim.
Ah.
Yeah.
But also, it's an interesting time because Darth Vader's around, so you could use him.
And also, he has like a team of dark Jedi, which he kind of...
Like, the were former Jedis that he uses to like enforce shit and whatever.
I just checked on Fortnite in the App Store.
My phone is too old to run it.
Maybe you're too old to run it.
Yeah, I think so.
It scared your face.
Yeah, it did.
Yeah, yeah.
Nah, mate, nah.
Nah, too many lines on that face.
Not for me, nah.
But they didn't show, for this Star Wars game,
which is coming out end of next year,
they didn't show a title card any footage
nothing
we haven't seen
anything crazy
so great reveal
kiss of death
yeah
no I think
I think it
genuinely can be good
Microsoft had a
bloody
Bonza
Bonza is it
they did
alright can we
break this down
can you give us
all the Bonza stuff
first and all the
Drongo stuff
I've only written
mostly the Bonza stuff
ok that's alright
from now on
they do another
Halo
Forza and Gears.
People are excited about the new Halo.
They're like, Master Chief's back.
Yeah, of course he's back.
Didn't he die?
I don't know.
I've never really played one.
You were a Gears of War guy?
You had that, didn't you?
No, I didn't like Gears of War.
I prefer Halo.
Really?
No, no, no.
I just didn't like the cover system in Gears of War.
Well, now it's everything.
Yeah, I know.
So I get used to it.
Yeah.
Do you think, was this enough for you to get an Xbox?
No, I,
oh, this slate you're talking about right now.
I mean, they've got 18 exclusives
and they announced 50 games in total.
Like they're really drilling this time.
And it's interesting because Ubisoft and the CEO
and also Microsoft are talking about
doing games that can stream to any device,
including mobile.
Yeah.
And Ubisoft was saying that there's not going to,
like the next console generation, there's not going to be a console after that. Like that's stream to any device, including mobile. Yeah. And Ubisoft was saying that there's not going to, like the next console generation,
there's not going to be a console after that.
Like that's going to,
it's all going to be streaming directly to.
Oh, whatever you have.
Whatever.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah.
Well, maybe I should get on board
because this is the last generation.
That's right.
I don't know.
Like, see the thing about if,
if I was going to get an Xbox,
maybe based on Halo.
Yeah.
My dilemma is I'd want to see if it,
because I never, I never find the story of Halo particularly compelling.
So I'd be like, I want to see what cool guns they have.
What kind of, what wild stuff can the guns do?
Yeah, right.
But then if I watch a video of what all the guns can do,
I'm like, oh, I get it now.
I don't have to buy this now.
Because you know what all the guns can do.
Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Are you really surprised by a gun these days?
Not really.
Yeah.
After, you know, any time they've got like a gun that can do like something the gun can do in the fifth element.
I'm like, oh yeah, I get it.
Fifth element gun.
You know, you shoot a tracking bullet and then you just allow the bullets to come in.
That's a good gun.
I love that.
I love a shotty.
Yeah, shotty's are good.
Just good for some close-up bloody whatevers.
New Fallout, they showed a bit of that.
Okay.
But is Fallout an Xbox exclusive?
No, it's not, yeah.
But another one that is exclusive is Crackdown 3,
which has Terry Crews, but they delayed it till January.
But I think the Xbox have gone a long way
to kind of get people back on board
because when they announced it, they were like,
it's always online and you can't share games.
And everyone's like, fuck you, no.
And they ruined it.
Like they fucked up out of the gate. And so PlayStation kicked off and obviously the Switch is doing really
well. So they're really about now making, getting as much content as they can. I think
they're really building towards the next generation as well. I think that's what this is. They
cannot win this console war. No. It's only, it's maybe two years left of it anyway. Oh,
the console wars. Remember those, Mason? I do remember the console wars.
I remember the console wars.
I remember the cola wars.
They've never stopped though, Mason.
You know that, right?
Yeah, that's true.
They just keep going.
Keep going, yeah.
We kept getting dragged back in.
By the time we were drafted into opposite sides of the cola wars.
I do remember that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was Atari's Jaguar.
I never stood a chance.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I might duck back into this
at the end
to see what
Bethesda have released
I saw something about
Elder Scrolls
I think
there's another
Prey game
the thing is Mason
we're not
we're not video game
fellows
like some
we're not video game
fellows
we know some things
but not a lot of things
you seem to know
even less than me
somehow
you know right
and you know
close to zero
correct
so I guess
I know zero
this is a good
opportunity to talk
about Levin's other podcast,
of his many podcasts that he does with Angus,
called Hey Fam.
Hey Fam.
It covers a lot of things, movies and pop culture and such,
but they have a really big focus on video games.
So if you're looking for a good E3 recap for a midweek,
Hey Fam's probably a good place to slide on in.
There are a couple of cool dudes.
They genuinely know what they're talking about.
One of them is a dad.
One of them's not a dad.
One of them's a dad.
One of them's just rad.
Just rad.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, but it's definitely worth checking out.
Anyway, Mason, we've got another ad, and then we're going to do the topic for this week.
Nice.
Now, you might think, I love watches.
I do.
I love styles of watches.
I do.
But I wish there was a brand that had a reasonable price and good styles of watches.
Agreed.
That didn't break easily.
Yes.
Like if you scratch and you're like, ah, my watch.
And one that isn't bloody a couple of hundred bucks of the price tag is just branding.
Exactly.
Ugh, I hate it.
Are you familiar with the Revolver Collection?
I like the Revolver Collection.
Because it says, talk about your favorite new styles and its features.
Suggestion, the Revolver Collection? I like the Revolver Collection. Because it says, talk about your favorite new styles and its features.
Suggestion, the Revolver Collection.
You know what?
I like the Revolver Collection, but I literally, like last night, I just bought a modern sport.
A modern sport? A modern sport.
I've never had a yellow gold watch.
Yeah, yeah, right.
And I'm like, I should get a cool one.
And Movement had one.
It's called the Gold Coast.
Yeah, yeah.
It's real nice.
Is it named after the city?
The city of the Gold Coast. Yeah, yeah. It's real nice. Is it named after the city? The city of the Gold Coast.
The Gold Coast in Queensland.
I don't think it's called the Gold Coast.
No, it's not.
It's called something else, but it's where it is.
I think it is.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think maybe part of Florida is also called the Gold Coast.
Oh.
But man, it's a real nice one.
Okay, cool.
Well, we've got that covered then.
We covered that talking point.
It bloody looks really good.
Here's the thing.
I bought a leather jacket, a black leather jacket. It's got gold zips, and I'm like, well, I've got to coordinate. You've got to get a gold watch. I've got to covered then. We covered that talking point. It bloody looks really good. Here's the thing. I bought a leather jacket, a black leather jacket.
It's got gold zips.
And I'm like, well, I've got to coordinate.
You've got to get a gold watch.
You've got to get a gold watch to coordinate.
How gold are your shoes to go with it?
Pretty gold.
You know those Captain Marvel shoes have like a gold stripe down the side?
I saw that.
Yeah, yeah.
You should get some.
I'm going.
I have, look, I have the page open on my phone right now to get them.
They're listed as Captain America skate highs, though.
Really?
But they're not.
Okay.
It's a real mistake.
I'll speak to Dave from Vans.
Oh, Vans Dave.
We're not in the Vans ad anymore.
Oh, sorry.
Yeah, you're right.
We're in a different ad.
I only know him because we went to school together and he reached out to Claire.
What?
Yeah, yeah.
It's crazy.
Yeah, yeah.
Anyway, he's a good dude.
Okay, so movement watches are all about keeping it simple.
Stupid.
And the way they can...
K-I-S-S movement.
Correct.
The way they managed to do that, though, is keep it simple on a low, low price.
How did they manage to do that, Mason?
Cut out the middleman.
That's right.
That's right.
It's the best way to do it, I feel.
I agree.
Yeah, absolutely.
Are you a smartwatch guy or anything like that?
No, I don't like smartwatches.
I got my phone.
I don't need a smartwatch.
Exactly, yeah. Maybe I'll get it turned around if,? No, I don't like smartwatches. I got my phone. I don't need a smartwatch. Exactly, yeah.
Maybe I'll get it turned around if, you know, I got a free one.
Sure.
Even then, I don't think I would.
No.
I don't even like it.
I don't even like it.
Because some, there's like...
You're going to charge it?
Well, there are smartwatches that have the screen and there are also smartwatches that
are like, it looks like an analog watch, but then you push a button and it counts your
steps or whatever.
And then you connect it to your computer later.
I don't like that either.
That seems too complicated.
I like a... I like an analog watch.
Yeah.
I like a bunch of different styles,
so I can switch it up every once in a while.
I like maybe you can change the band.
I like that.
Yes.
I like when you go to a movie,
and they take your phones or whatever,
and then you're in the theater,
and you're like, what time is it?
Yeah.
And then I'm like, I remember,
but where am I watching?
And then I know,
because otherwise I'm lost, Mason.
Yeah, I know, right?
Yeah.
We could be sitting there for hours.
We don't know.
Content's getting bonzer out there in the world.
We don't know.
Every day it gets more bonzer.
Movement watches start at just $95.
And at a department store, you're looking for like $400 or $500
for a watch of equivalent quality.
But that's too expensive.
Too expensive.
Too expensive for a watch.
It's too expensive for a burrito.
Movement figured out...
Do you disagree?
You think that's funny?
Yeah, I think...
I mean, you're a little out of touch
if you think a burrito costs less than $400 to $500, my friend.
I don't know if you're eating where I'm eating,
but burritos are very expensive these days.
Movement figured out that by selling online,
they're cutting out the middleman,
they avoid markup,
and they can do
a classic design
quality construction
and style
that is minimalised.
I hope they get
into burritos
because I would
really like to
eat one.
Just a bumper deal
on a burrito.
Yeah.
Minimalised.
That's right.
You don't want too much
in a burrito.
Yeah I agree.
I get 15% off
with free shipping
and free returns
by going to
movement.com
that's
mvmt.com slash weekly planet that's mvmt.com slash weekly planet
that's mvmt.com slash weekly planet 15 off i did that i know you did i did that you seem to buy one
every week yeah i know right join the movement it says also see why movement keeps growing check out
their expanding collection that's what that is good they keep expanding i agree yeah right did you see oceans eight yes i did good let's talk about it okay spoilers
non-spoilers nice uh non-spoilers then spoilers look we're running out of time i don't want you
to go forever all right what do you think the story was let's not dick around mason all right
the story was bloody it's it's it's dan danny ocean from oceans 11 through to 13 is it mason he's probably
dead yeah and his sister's just getting out of jail and she's gonna do a scam oh no it's just
gonna do a real heist situation i thought the cast was really good and i thought sandra bullock was
really good as danny ocean's sister me too they're a good and as a character in her own right no
mason i just mean it feels like it comes from the same world and the same family, Mason. That's what I mean.
Oh, nice.
Okay.
Yeah.
No, I thought it was...
It feels a lot like an Oceans movie, and it also kind of feels like a reboot.
And I wouldn't say...
I didn't probably enjoy it as much as the Oceans 11, not the original, which we did
a Caravan of Garbage for.
It's really terrible.
People really enjoyed that video.
No, I thought this was really solid.
I thought this was really solid.
Yeah.
I feel like I haven't seen a good heist movie in a while.
Yeah.
I don't know whether that's...
Is that true?
I don't know.
The last one I saw was probably that one where they steal the car from Alan Alda.
Tower Heist?
That wasn't very good.
No, it was bad.
If anything, it wasn't very good.
Correct, yes.
Was it okay?
Eddie Murphy was in it?
Brett Ratner directed it.
Yeah, it was bad.
You're saying so many things, Mason.
I know, right? That's right. Yeah. Yeah, it was bad. You're saying so many things, Mason. I know, right?
That's right.
Yeah.
Well, it's having a pretty good weekend.
Worldwide, 53 million, I think, as of so far, which is pretty solid.
At 41?
Yeah, 41 million in the US box office, which is good for a movie like this, because it's
not like, it's obviously not a Captain America or whatever.
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
That's a solid, solid outing.
No, I really enjoyed the cast of this, and what I liked about it wasn't like, look at all these women.
Do you know what I mean?
Like the way it wouldn't have been done well.
And there wasn't like forced conflict between them.
They all kind of got along and it was kind of fun and brisk
and they all had different skills.
And yeah, I thought it was a bloody blast.
I like the Cate Blanchett dynamic between her and Sandra Bullock.
That was good also, yeah.
Do you think everybody got enough screen time?
Who in particular do you think didn't?
I don't know.
I feel like most of the people who weren't the main characters
got some snippets of activity, like Mindy Kaling.
Yeah, not a lot of her in this.
I thought there might be a bit more.
There was a bit of Rihanna.
A little bit, but that's the thing.
I didn't feel like...
I don't know.
I just didn't feel like everybody got enough screen time.
We'll talk about it more in spoilers,
but I also think there was maybe some pacing issues or something like...
Yes, I agree with that.
There's definitely some kind of plot holes concerning the heist itself.
I feel like that bit could have been done better if you...
Okay, yeah, yeah, for sure. Also, a friend of mine who also saw it yeah uh where are we was it me no it wasn't you
said um she's down for a cast of badass ladies but why do they have to make the storyline about
diamonds and fashion oh yeah fair point yeah that's that's what i thought why can't the ladies
rob a casino or a train well i thought it was good they didn't rob a casino because we've seen
them well that's yeah I guess that's true.
I like the New York setting.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think it undermines the whole point of a female cast
if they're still adhering
to stereotypical gender norms.
Who sent you that?
A friend of mine.
I don't believe you.
Whoa.
Do you think I wrote it?
I think you wrote it.
Oh, what?
Okay, now I can see that.
Yeah.
But I mean,
women be shopping.
But I'd also imagine
that the studio behind this
were like,
well, this is a female-led film,
and it's going to play to a female audience for a lot of it.
Yeah.
They like, chicks love diamonds.
Well, that's the thing.
That's what I kind of thought.
Well, like, maybe somebody in a boardroom's like,
well, women aren't going to like it if they rob a train.
No.
Because women only like,
women aren't going to watch this unless it's about fashion and shoes,
which obviously they aren't.
Women just want to watch good movies like everybody,
like normal people.
Claire liked it because I saw it with Claire.
She liked that it was at the Met.
Yeah, right.
She's like, that's a fascinating, horrible thing that happens every year.
Yeah, right, for sure.
And it's, you know, screw all those people or whatever.
You know, Jared Leto turns up dressed as the Pope or whatever.
Yeah, for sure.
Did you recognize that woman, the fashion woman?
What's her face? The Vogue lady. Yeah, the Vogue lady vogue lady yeah i did yeah like anna winters is that her name yeah because when they showed the back of her head right and there was this kind of ripple through
the audience of acknowledgement and i felt like people must feel like in marvel films when they're
like who's that it's happening like there was a cameo yeah i had no idea who it was i quite like
sarah paulson pason. I really liked.
Yep.
It's kind of the, I guess she was doing it.
She's like a stay-at-home mum of sorts,
but she's got this whole black market kind of thing going on,
stealing white goods and whatever and selling them off.
Uh-huh.
Was it just, was it beyond her garage?
Because you kind of see at the end that she's got like a factory.
Oh, I think she expanded.
I think that was the, yeah.
I bloody getcha.
Yeah.
Are you a James Corden guy?
No,
I don't watch his show,
but I didn't hate him in this.
Yeah.
Me neither.
He was good.
He was good.
Good,
solid man.
Can you,
and he had a good joke.
He did have a good joke.
About the two things.
He's like,
he got bloody two of these.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I thought he was,
he was very much like,
as they mentioned, he's kind of, he's the, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I thought he was very much like, as they mentioned,
he's the insurance investigator who's trying to track this down.
And he was very Columbo.
Yes.
In that he clearly knew...
She was involved.
Yeah, he clearly knew who the culprit was.
Yeah.
But he was also kind of like a...
He'd been involved with the Ocean family in the past.
Yeah.
And it was suggested that he put away Danny Ocean at some point in the past. So post Ocean's 13, I guess. Who's dead. Yeah. And it was implied, it was suggested that he put away Danny Ocean
at some point
in the past.
So post Ocean's 13,
I guess.
He was dead.
Yeah.
Do you think James Corden
killed him?
Yes.
In real life?
Yeah, real life.
Killed George Clooney
in real life.
Wow.
Yeah, that's true though.
That's a true thing.
I liked,
because Anne Hathaway's
character's kind of a villain
and there's a turn
at some point
that sort of, which I didn't...
It felt disingenuous.
Yeah, right.
I'm like, why is this suddenly happening during this film?
Do you know what I'm talking about?
I'm sure you...
Probably because you saw the movie.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
But maybe we'll talk about that.
Should we talk about spoilers?
Yeah, let's talk spoilers.
Okay, cool.
So, they're stealing a...
Helena Bonham Carter was really good in this.
Yeah, I agree. Maybe I always associate her with Johnny Depp, so I'm Okay, cool. So they're stealing it. Helena Bonham Carter was really good in this. Yeah, I agree.
Maybe I always associate her with Johnny Depp,
so I'm like, ugh.
But she was really great.
Yeah.
Really fun.
She's not so much in the back end of the film,
but she's up the front.
There's quite a lot of her.
She was a lot of fun.
So they're swiping this necklace from Anne Hathaway,
and it's worth $120,000 million or whatever.
Yeah, sure.
Correct. Absolutely correct. And after they steal it it anne hathaway's already figured it out and then she goes to their heart out she's like yeah and she's like this socialite actress like
vain and popular and she's kind of mean and then she's just one of the girls yeah right i just want
to hang out and eat ice cream with you guys. It felt really like, wait, what? Very kind of forced, yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, and I kind of get that she's like, I'm lonely or whatever.
I guess so, but at the same time, you know,
I think of these movies like, you know,
these people aren't like, they're not villains on the edge
and they're, you know, they're just kind of,
it's all loose and light and fun.
Yeah, that's true. A lot of them are just kind of know, they're just kind of, it's, it's all, it's loose and light and fun.
Yeah, that's true.
A lot of them are just kind of bored or they're just compelled to do it because that's kind of, it's kind of in their nature.
Yes, exactly.
Yeah.
I like the revenge element because Sandra Bullock got put away for a crime that she
sort of didn't commit by the guy from the Robin Hood TV show and the Hobbit movies or
whatever.
Okay.
by the guy from the Robin Hood TV show. Yeah, right.
And the Hobbit movies or whatever.
Okay, so but Danny Ocean, right?
He was posted.
I was 100% sure he was going to turn up.
They even hint at that he's probably not dead.
Yeah, right.
And then the last shot is her drinking a martini
in front of his grave or whatever.
Yeah.
I was 100% sure he was just going to appear behind her.
Pop out, yeah.
Exactly.
But I'm kind of glad they didn't.
I feel like that's something you could carry on
over into the next movie.
I think so as well, yeah.
Because that's something I was expecting
and then it didn't happen, yeah.
I can't, yeah.
I guess if they're, as we were saying earlier,
it's Ocean's 8, they're leaving room for Ocean's 9
and Ocean's 10, one assumes.
Ocean's great.
Yeah.
Thank you. It's not that great. Yeah. Thank you.
It's not that great.
It's pretty good.
Pretty good.
Yeah.
So I guess if they're going to do a reveal.
Yeah.
If they want to leave some stuff on the table to pick up later, then.
And you put him in the trailer and then.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Yeah.
He's dead.
Yeah.
But he's back rather.
But.
Or dead.
Yeah.
It could be dead.
Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, I think. dead yeah but he's back rather but um or dead yeah it could be dead yeah yeah but yeah i think i i think maybe it would have undercut the movie yeah if if you go okay well clooney's alive and
he's been watching over him the whole time yeah he's kind of a guardian angel and maybe he was
doing some stuff and behind the scenes kind of thing i liked the ties that it did have to the
oceans previous oceans films they use the the little Chinese gymnast guy to do flips and steal diamonds or whatever.
Yeah, which technically makes this Ocean's 9.
Also, I feel if you've never seen an Ocean's movie and you're going to this fresh, you'd be like, who's this guy?
But I guess he's an adjunct to the main plot.
He's not the main.
No, he's not.
You don't have to know.
The plot doesn't hinge on you knowing who it is.
Yeah, right.
Like, at the start, Elliot Gould turns up, who's in the other ones as well, and he's
like, Danny didn't want you to do the heist or whatever.
Yeah, right.
And I thought, Ruben.
It was good to see him as well.
I thought...
I like that actor.
It was a good inclusion.
But I think there was enough...
Yeah, there wasn't too many hints to the previous one, because I didn't think you really needed
to kind of hammer home that this is the next incarnation. Yeah, yeah wasn't too many hints to the previous one because I didn't think you really needed to kind of hammer home
that this is the next incarnation.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
This isn't your grandmother's Ocean's movie,
or it kind of is, I guess, in a way.
Yeah.
With the heist, though,
the big point was stealing the big diamond, as mentioned,
and there's a moment where they make Anne Hathaway throw up with a poison.
Yes.
Could have killed her, but she's okay.
And then as she's throwing up in the toilet,
the sleight of hand one slips the necklace off
and then everybody goes out and is in a panic.
Yes.
I feel like you could have probably just,
she could have swapped it then and then.
Immediately, yes.
But I figured the reason they didn't do that
so everybody's in a panic and clears out the museum
and then they can steal the other jewels.
Yeah, right.
I'm assuming that's why
they did that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But then wouldn't somebody,
wouldn't the woman
who's assigned to do that,
because the only people
who were on board with,
who were aware
that they were stealing
all the other stuff
was Sandra Bullock
and Cate Blanchett.
Yeah, right.
So you would think
that the sleight of hand woman
would be like,
why don't I just put
the new one on?
Why don't I put the thing on there
you know what I mean
also I feel like for me there was an issue
with there's a point where
they discover
that the necklace can't just be
put on and removed
it's got a magnet in it
a magnet but the problem is
that is way before the heist happens
they're trying on the necklace.
They put it on.
They're like, how do I get this off?
Oh, you need a magnet.
But then...
I like how you're committing to that.
Yep.
But then Rihanna just goes, oh yeah, my sister.
My sister's good with magnets.
I'm just going to go to her.
And she's like, here's a thing you can use to fix the magnet.
Magnet, yeah.
That's not like that.
That eliminates the dramatic tension of that bit because
there's no like when they have to steal the necklace off her there's no trick no you know
what i mean it should be that they discover during the heist that they need a magnet yeah and then
they have to do that on the fly or they have to send somebody who's not normally in the field out
to fix it or something like that or make her throw up twice or whatever make her throw up twice exactly you get it yeah no that's i don't i
don't disagree with that yeah do you think we're going to be relaunching like this is the kickoff
this franchise again we're going to get it it's going to relaunch into something else
like a hybrid of i hope so i hope there's a maybe yeah i think a hybrid i think maybe we get clooney
back yeah and we get a
clooney clooney damon pitts yeah you would they'd probably do it again i'm sure they would do it
again yeah for sure and uh what's i'm gonna say but uh 13 recently i re-watched them all
kind of leading up to this yeah yeah and 13 is quite good like it's not brilliant it's not as
good as the first that not the first that you know what i mean you know people know what i'm
talking about all right not the bad one not the bad one the first not the first you know what I mean people know what I'm talking about
not the bad one
not the bad one
the one from 2000
which again
you should watch the video
on my channel
I quite enjoyed it
I watched that
I quite enjoyed it actually
I don't normally watch myself
but it was fun
also I think we made a mistake
at the end
I think I said
they could have just run
and got the coffin
but maybe it was already burning
or something
I don't know
who cares
who cares
there's so many plot holes
I wasn't paying attention
to that point.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, anyway.
But no,
I think this is definitely,
this is more on par
with like An Ocean's 13.
Right.
Which I think is,
is absolutely okay.
There's,
there's nothing wrong.
Just a,
just a solid heist flick.
A bit of fun.
A New York setting.
Steal some diamonds
with the girls.
In New York.
New York.
And live your fabulous best life.
You need a magnet?
No problem.
You can get one.
Yeah.
Anything else on this?
Nah, that'll do it.
We haven't dedicated a lot of time to it, Mason,
but this is going out the day that we're recording
and Claire's away and my kid, I've got to look after him.
There's a lot going on, huh?
Yeah, mate.
This can't go for four hours.
Unless you want it to.
Do you want it to?
No, I've got stuff on.
Okay, you're busy too
I mean, not a lot of stuff
But some stuff
A very small amount of stuff
Should we do the segment on what we're reading?
Yes, and then what we're going to read
Yeah
I'm doing the thing
What are we reading today?
Tell you what I'm going to read
I'm ready
I'm not up to date in the Batman Rebirth.
Just the whole run.
Yeah, I kind of dropped off that.
Well, see,
some people on the Planet Broadcasting
Great Mates group were like,
hey, some of these stories
would make a good movie.
Really?
And I'm like,
well, I should watch,
I should read all of them.
And it was a sale on Comixology.
Yeah.
All the, like,
the first four volumes
of the read.
Are they that far in?
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
There's like 600 pages or 700 pages of stuff.
And they were all like five bucks.
Okay.
So I'm like, that's pretty good.
So what?
Sounds like the perfect crime.
Yes.
To use a magnet.
I used a magnet on my phone.
It's ruined.
That's why I can't play Fortnite anymore.
Very good. What did I see? We saw Upgrade yesterday. Yes, we did. Yeah. it's ruined that's why I can't play Fortnite anymore very good
what did I say
we saw Upgrade yesterday
yes we did yeah
and it was also
a pleasant surprise
because Lee Whannell
the director was there
I didn't know he was
going to be there
and he was
and he did a Q&A
even though I think
this was announced
but I somehow missed it
we just bought tickets
but actually this week
one or both of us
are going to actually
interview him
that's right
so that'll be up next week
so we'll probably talk
more about Upgrade then.
You got some Q's ready for him?
I got some Q's ready.
I hope he's got some A's ready, Mason.
Because I'm going to be firing those Q's or I'll freeze up.
Let's find out.
Yeah, right.
Either way, it's going up on the podcast.
Yes.
Just me crying.
It'll be so good.
No, I think his story of how he got started is really fascinating
and the way he works with the low budget.
And like he's clearly, I feel like he could do a $100 million movie,
but like the way he makes a smaller budget work, it goes a long way.
Yeah, right.
But I really enjoyed it.
Did you enjoy it?
I did enjoy it.
We'll talk about it next week.
Yes.
Along with another movie, which we can talk about next week,
Incredibles 2.
Oh, yeah.
We can talk about it now.
We can't review it, but we can give our social media reactions or something. Something, Incredibles 2. Oh, yeah. We can talk about it now. We can't review it,
but we can give out social media reactions or something.
Something like that, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
So is Lee Whannell, like,
is he on the way to doing,
like, is he tapped for any big budget anything?
I don't know.
Like a Marvel something or other?
I'm going to ask him.
Give him a whirl.
Yeah, actually, people have questions for him.
So, by the way, people don't know,
he co-created the Saw franchise
and he wrote the first two.
He directed Third Insidious. He's acted in a bunch of stuff. He co-wrote The Mule, which I didn't know. I don't know he co-created the Saw franchise and he wrote the first two he directed Third Insidious
he's acted in a bunch of stuff
he co-wrote The Mule
which I didn't know
I don't know what that is
it's Naked Samson
it's an Australian movie
Hugo Weavington
it's really good
I didn't know he wrote that
he was the movie review guy
on Recovery
he was
I didn't know that either
a TV show from his childhood
a whole bunch of stuff
I don't have any questions anymore
so don't look
you answered everything
it's going to be tricky right
but so
yeah people have a
question about filmmaking or or uh upgrade or any of that and uh there's some really interesting
shots in it and like how did they do that and you know the one where he's fighting and the camera
kind of follows him yeah they did that by strapping an iphone to him and the camera just locked to it
yeah wow i thought that was like it looked really complicated yeah apparently it was just a little
well that's what you do when you don't have to watch it i guess you improvise and that's how this stuff works out yeah yeah
but uh what did you think of incredibles 2 was it oh was it good yeah i like it i did like it
was it somewhere in the middle or was it really bad no it's really good i liked it yeah but if
you're expecting something uh wildly different from the first one you probably will be a little
bit let down because plot wise it's more or less exactly the same movie i think it's falls a little bit short of the first one for a couple of reasons
but i can't put the review up till like monday to tuesday but i'll talk more about it there yeah
nice but i think it's it's definitely on the upper end of the pixar stuff yeah presumably the cast
films most of which i haven't seen right and whatever yeah but it's is it worth your time
mason yeah is it worth your time, Mason? Yeah.
Is it worth my time?
Yeah.
Would you see it again?
Yeah.
We'll talk about it more next week?
Yeah.
Okay, people got opinions,
should they email them in or tweet them in?
Nah, no, yeah.
Yeah.
Great, good stuff.
You know what we should do then?
Letters?

I got a tweet here.
This is a,
this is a hot take and I want to see what your opinion is.
It's from poorly drawn politics on Twitter.
Hot take.
And there's a fire in the middle of the hot and take.
Tomb Raider 2018 is a better origin movie than solo middle of the hot and take. Tomb Raider 2018
is a better origin movie
than Solo.
Sorry, say it again?
Tomb Raider 2018
is a better origin movie
than Solo.
It's weird that you have
to think about it though,
isn't it?
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
I think it is.
I think it's a better movie
in general.
I think they're exactly on par.
Whoa!
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah.
Okay.
I quite like them both.
That's the thing.
Okay, how about this?
If there was a scene in Tomb Raider
where they're about to open the tomb
and somebody yelled,
Open the tomb!
Would it have tipped it over for you?
It would have tipped it to worse.
Okay.
What about if that was in Solo?
No, worse.
Okay.
Any instance of somebody saying, Open the tomb. Just to clarify, that was in solo no worse okay just any instance of somebody saying
open the tomb just to clarify that was in the tomb raider trailer but not in the movie yeah
that's correct yeah fair enough well there you go yeah i think that's really interesting though that
you'd have to think about it you know what i mean yeah right exactly like that's not a hard and fast
decision uh you got a letter or do you want me to do a tweet? This is from Ari Perez
Okay
It's his birthday on Monday, June 11
When the show comes out
It's his birthday and his twin brother's birthday
It's your birthday
You've got to sing the twin birthday song
Okay
It's a different birthday song, you know it?
No
It's like this
It's your birthday
Two of you same day
It's your birthday
Never forget where you're from A woman and a man Your birthday's two of you same day. It's your birthday.
Never forget where you're from.
A woman and a man.
Wow, you are delirious.
I really am.
Well, that's some Bonza content, if you ask me.
So that's totally worth it.
Also, I feel like in this day and age, that song is outdated.
You might not be from a woman and a man.
It's a different era. I think they should update the song.
The song you just invented mere seconds ago. It's a real song. It's not be from a woman and a man. It's a different era. I think they should update the song. The song you just invented
mere seconds ago. It's a real song.
It's not a real song.
Anyway, on a somewhat unrelated note,
I'm a computer programmer and was thinking about
creating a Weekly Planet Chrome Extended to
change all images to Meso's face.
I think that would be pretty fantastic. 100%.
For Weekly Planet listeners who don't get enough Meso
in their regular day-to-day lives, how do you guys
feel about that idea?
I think it's great.
Do it.
Can it work?
It could certainly work.
I wouldn't even know where to start. If you could build that and then send us some screenshots, I would appreciate that.
Okay.
Should we cap this off with the birthday song again?
Yes.
Do you want to do it?
No, I can't remember how it goes.
I'll sing along with you if you start it.
It's fine.
Okay.
We'll come back to it another week.
Happy birthdays, though.
This is from Jonathan Cardwell.
Do you think you have to take into account when a movie was made?
That wasn't a good joke.
I don't know why I found it so funny.
The birthday song.
No, it was good.
I'm delirious.
Yeah, I can tell.
Do you think you have to take into account when a movie was made to properly judge it?
I asked because I watched Halloween for the first time i thought it was crap i recognize its importance but after
years of slicker horror movies it looks bad i think we come up against that a lot yeah for sure
yeah but also it's strange because okay take oceans 11 the original not the original i'm
talking about the first one the one from the 60s there are amazing films from that era and that's
why that movie does not get a pass for me i agree yeah yeah yeah there are movies from the 50s the
60s that are just well made and competent people are mostly sober yep the acting's good yep not all
of them certainly not all i mean i would say 95 are probably unwatchable but you get that hand you get
that handful i think you kind of when you're moving like halloween you set a lot of rules
yes which then people become very familiar with and they ruin or drive into the ground or do better
and then you go back and you're like this feels kind of archaic yeah right comparatively yeah
it's like the first like wolfenstein the the first one, compared to, say, Quake Champions.
You know what I mean?
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
Yeah.
You know what I'm talking about.
I get it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm trying to think of another example.
I think, do you think some of, you're not a big Kubrick guy, are you?
No.
So I think you've done a lot of those, maybe like 2001 or whatever.
It's all a drag to me.
He's such a drag, man.
Just a man's life's work.
He's lorded the world over. He'll never be forgotten. It's really some Drongo content from Kubrick, if you ask me. Such a drag, man. Just a man's life's work. He's lorded the world over. He'll never
be forgotten. It's really some Drongo content
from Kubrick, if you ask me. Do you think he's made
any films that you enjoy? I don't mind
The Shining. Okay, then. And I like
Full Metal Jacket. That's Kubrick, right?
Yes, probably. Yeah. Who knows,
mate? Yeah, no, I think
you also do have to take into account
the era. Yeah. I mean,
do you think if they released The Wizard of Oz now,
people would like it?
Exactly as it was then?
Exactly as it is.
With updated visuals, I guess.
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah?
Okay, there you go.
Provided we'd not seen anything like that before.
That's the thing.
But, yeah, that's kind of impossible to... Well, see, that's the thing but yeah that's kind of impossible
to well see that's the thing because because you know the tropes from that movie and the concepts
from that movie have been repeated so many times and other things that i think people would be like
oh well this is just this feels a lot like something else exactly good point got another
letter no do you want me to do another letter do another one this is a dad one so do you want me to do another letter? Yeah, do another one. This is a dad one. So do you want to sit this one out? Yeah, if you could.

Any advice for raising a baby boy?
Mason?
No.
This is on you.
I mean, learn a lot of birthday songs. You only need two oh there's a triplets one but i'm not really familiar do you want to do the triplets one no
no i'm gonna do it okay uh i don't know i think with any kid you just spend as much time as you
can that's it for me that's like the best advice i can give just be around as much as you can and
sometimes it's hard for work or family reasons or whatever but i think being present is the most important thing they don't really remember giving them
presence and giving the presence but they don't often remember the cool things that you gave them
oh they probably do but i think it's more you know doing stuff together yeah right you know
i think they remember experiences and and that more than you got me a sweet guitar though maybe
get him a sweet guitar you get him a sweet guitar. Though, maybe get him a sweet guitar.
Yeah, get him a sweet guitar as early as possible.
Get them drums as early as possible.
That's the key, I find.
Yeah, definitely.

So last week of the week before we talked about what our weird going to the theatre rituals are.
Oh yeah, I enjoyed that.
The movie cinema, I called it.
Yeah.
Dustin says, my friend and I always see at least a movie a week.
Before we head into the theatre, we tie up the ends of some sweatshirt sleeves and slip a 24-ounce IPA into each sleeve.
What's an IPA?
Like a beer.
Nice.
Then smuggle them into the theatre under our arms, footy style.
I'm usually regretting this decision somewhere around the start of the third act.
Having said that, we've probably done this about a hundred times.
That's a lot.
Yeah, that's a lot of beer.
I couldn't, I'd have to pee.
I couldn't do it.
Yeah, yeah.
A few people, we asked a few people if they'd seen a movie more than a lot of times, more
than a hundred times.
A friend of mine, hang on, I'll see if I can find it.
There's that 42 Avengers guy.
Did you see that?
Saw that.
He's doing that.
He's seeing Avengers Infinity War.
And he's got a ticket to the premiere of four.
They're giving him one.
Cool.
You got a friend who said.
Let's see.
And you look like a deer stuck in a headlight.
No, just her ex saw The Wedding Singer over 100 times.
What?
What an interesting choice of films.
But people have emailed in.
They're like, yeah, I've seen movies 100 times.
In the Great Mates Planet Broadcasting Group,
people mention The Dark Knight.
Yep.
Yeah.
And a lot of people are just putting things on and like,
this is my kind of comfort movie, which I...
No, you've got to watch it intently.
Otherwise it doesn't count.
You've got to stare at the screen.
You cannot look away or it doesn't count.
Okay, fair enough.
I think that's the end of the show.
Yes, it is.
Well, we've kind of booked through this.
I maybe should have pasted a little better.
No.
Maybe you should have pasted better.
How about that?
No.
