aside from the great look of the clothing and the feel of the clothing.
The fact that it exists.
That's right.
Clothing.
It's antimicrobial.
What's that about when it's at home?

But in a good way.
In a good way, yeah.
Yeah.
Is that it?
Is that your...
I think so.
I can help.
If you could, yes.
Basically, the way they put together it, it's technical, isn't it?
See?
Not as easy as you'd think.
But they don't smell
weird if you wear them for longer than a regular t-shirt i feel like with most t-shirts all t-shirts
you get like maybe a day's wear out of them then you're like gotta wash that some days i don't even
get a day's wear that's what i'm saying mason you're a big jogger i'm a big blogger you're a

Red hot comic book movie news.
Shooting up your butthole.
The Weekly Planet, The Weekly Planet
Welcome back everybody to another episode of The Weekly Planet
Where we talk movies and comics and TV shows
My name is James, also known as Mr. Sunday
With me as always is my co-host Nick Mason
I'm ready, I'm hydrated, let's do it
You're wonderfully ready Mason, if you don't mind me saying so
I thought you were going to say you're wonderfully wet
That's correct
Sure
Not incorrect
No, you've got to keep hydrated, it's important
It's important It's important
I can't get through
A bloody episode of this
Without a big old bottle of water
When I went overseas
And I went on some panel stuff
I thought you were gonna say
You couldn't get
You can't get through
A bottle of water
No
But you force yourself
Because it's important
I'm at capacity
Okay you had a story
Well no it's not really a story
It's just if you watch
No it's a story
If you watch any video of me
I'm either waiting for the pauses
When the camera goes off me to drink
Or I'm just drinking the entire time Huh i just don't function what if it's a
drinking competition i've never been in a drinking competition for water i've been in a drink
competition of like alcohol i wouldn't recommend it but water no i've never done that but i think
i could win yep or i could place sure absolutely yeah should we do the show i think i could win
given that a water drinking competition
is not a thing, and I'll never be brought on
I'll never be asked to do one
so I think I could definitely win
I bet there's a water drinking competition
I bet there is
I bet I get a tweet from an offended professional
water drinker
who's like, oh actually there's a lot of trading involved
Did you hydrate for seven days leading up?
I made a tweet in the early days of Twitter, I's a lot of training involved. Did you hydrate for seven days leading up? I made a tweet.
In the early days of Twitter, I made a tweet about...
I saw it was like World Championship Darts on TV.
And they have like...
I don't know if they still do it.
This is before this show, actually.
Before this show.
And it was just a tweet.
And I had no followers.
So I'm like, this will be safe.
And I made some disparaging tweet about professional darts because it's like they it's set up like the professional wrestling like
they all come in to with like a posse they got personas they got personas one guy's called was
called like darth barry or something like that i don't know it's some darth something and he
throws a dart and and they cgi'd it really poorly so it turned into a lightsaber as he was throwing
it so that would have been like 2009 something like that and i'm like this combines all the and they CGI'd it really poorly, so it turned into a lightsaber as he was throwing it.
So that would have been like 2009 as well.
Something like that.
And I'm like, this combines all the glitz of professional wrestling with the thrill of fat guys playing darts.
And I got a tweet back from a dude
who clearly was like searching world championship darts or something.
And he's like, oh, actually, there's a lot of training involved,
and maybe you shouldn't be so quick to judge or whatever.
You know what? I'm judging. Also, shut up. Yeah. Wait, me, actually, there's a lot of training involved and maybe you shouldn't be so quick to judge or whatever. You know what?
I'm judging.
Also, shut up.
Yeah.
Wait, me?
No, him.
Okay.
But you also.
But me.
I was going to say also me.
Also, just quickly, our Care Australia campaign is still running.
Listen, Mason, it feels like the time of the year
and the current state of the world where if you were to reach out
and do something good for some people around the world.
You could win some prizes.
And you can win some prizes.
Because there's a lot of stuff going on in the world, Mason.
Yeah, but there's a lot of stuff that you can win.
That's right.
There's also stuff you can win.
A lot of our sponsors have jumped on board.
We talked about it last week.
We're talking Mack Weldon Clothing.
We're talking Movement Watchers.
We're talking Mr. Coyish Shirts, one of my favourites.
Harry Shavers.
Harry Shavers.
So there's prizes to be won if you donate any amount of money.
There's also some bonus bonds of content that we'll be putting out.
Yes, Claire, we said that.
We said that, Claire.
We said that one, Claire.
We said that one too, Claire.
We said that one.
We said them.
And they can't hear you, so we're just yelling at nobody.
For everybody who doesn't know, Claire's individually yelling out the sponsors.
The sponsors, yeah.
That we already mentioned.
You can't even podcast in your own house these days.
That's right.
Yeah.
Unbelievable.
I was going to say we're nearly halfway to our goal of $40,000.
We're at $18,435.49.
Fantastic.
And that's when the real magic happens.
Oh.
I don't know what happened.
Actually, I've got to make a YouTube video about it, actually.
I still haven't done that.
That'd be nice.
Do you want me to be on it? No. Okay. We want to make money, Mason. I don't know what happens. Actually, I've got to make a YouTube video about it, actually. I still haven't done that. That'd be nice. Do you want me to be on it?
No.
Okay.
We want to make money, Mason.
I was going to say, yeah.
No, you can definitely be on it.
All right.
Listen, I know last week was the end of Star Wars News.
I didn't want Star Wars News.
Finally.
This is great.
No more Star Wars News this week.
We're just reiterating.
There's no more Star Wars News for a long time.
You're not going to like this.
No problem, everybody.
You're welcome, everybody.
Oh, no. Oh, what? Oh, what? Yeah. So, basically, there's Star Wars news for a long time. You're not going to like this. No problem, everybody. You're welcome, everybody. Oh, no.
Oh, what?
What?
So basically, there's Star Wars news this week.
Oh, but you just said.
And then I promised all the listeners there wouldn't be anymore.
But some people love Star Wars, Mason.
I guess that's true.
Over at Collider, it was reported that the spinoff movies are on hold,
which currently include the likes of a Boba Fett movie,
an Obi-Wan Kenobi movie.
Bear in mind, those movies were never announced,
but they were as good as official.
And another one which was revealed was a Mos Eisley movie.
Oh.
Like the Mos Eisley Cantina book, I assume.
Oh, like Tales of Scum and Villainy.
Yeah, whatever.
And all the assorted.
What about the pig nose man?
What's his deal?
Dr. Evazan.
He's the pig nose man.
Yeah, he's all about illegal surgeries and stuff.
Huh, did he do his own pig nose?
No, I think he was...
Born with it?
Maybelline.
That might have been Maybelline.
But it looks like a scar, doesn't it?
I don't actually know.
Yeah, I reckon he did it himself.
There's a non-canonical, then a canonical reason, I'm sure.
I see, great.
I don't actually know.
I don't like the idea of that movie because
get away from that time period yeah i mean because i'm sure it would have to be set in that time
they'd be like what's bloody the band up to and the i don't care what if it was like the founding
of moss icely the town so like like a lawless like decades prior or like gives a shit yeah
so okay so the founding of the town you you go in and it's just sand.
And then people build some huts, some domed huts.
And then there's a bar.
I was going to say make it even more like Wild West.
But then I'm like, what are people...
It is the Wild West.
Well, that's what I'm saying.
But also what would bandits be doing?
Stealing moisture?
Is that staying hydrated?
Well, that's the story of the Obi-Wan comic,
in continuity.
Jabba the Hutt, it's rumored that,
because he's taxing everybody,
but he's just taking baths.
He's just loving life, mate.
He's a big old greasy slug.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We never see him take a bath in continuity, do we?
No, not in continuity.
He's never, I'm off to a bath.
No, but this is in continuity, though.
It's been, that's the rumor.
And then Obi-Wan stops or whatever.
Look, all these movies I don't want to see except the Obi-Wan movie.
I hope the lesson that they learned from Solo isn't cancel the Obi-Wan movie.
That's the only one people want to see.
You can cancel the rest of them.
A Boba Fett movie, I'm sure it can work.
And the Mos Eisley one can work.
But just make the Obi-Wan movie.
You've got all the prequel fans on board, the kids who grew up on those movies.
Even if you don't like those movies, you ewan mcgregor in that role it's the only one you
need to make throw everything out except that one moss icely but it's like like sim city it's like
just it's just people building the town and then a tornado a lot of logistical issues about that
and they're like where do we put the rubbish bins?
Where do we put the public toilet blocks?
Oh, no, there's a monster smashing up the city.
There's a monster.
I always hated that game.
Yeah.
Were you a fan?
Because I'd start and then I'd just be like, I don't,
because I think I had it too young.
So I'm like, I don't understand.
Yeah, exactly right. So I'd get a pre-made city and then just throw everything.
Throw it a monster or a tornado.
Just throw it a monster or a tornado.
Yeah.
You know, he was the real monster. uh you know he was the real monster mason probably this young man you know what i mean not looking
oh you're the monster okay i get it um i liked it for a while but then i would always get
the townsfolk would be unhappy about something yeah shut up they're like you need to build
another rec center or whatever and i'm like I don't have room for another rec center.
What do I do?
And then I just, yeah, tornado.
You know what?
You've asked for too much.
You've pushed me too far.
I was more a civilization fan.
Okay, sure.
I was more of an Age of Empires fan.
Oh, yeah.
And a dungeon keeper.
Nice.
But that's either here nor there.
It's by the by, isn't it?
Yeah.
Now, after this report came out multiple uh different uh sites scrambled to be
like well i also heard something and you know what i heard something about the yeah you're all you're
all the best websites do they do you think any of them actually heard something or they who gives a
shit yeah but basically that uh some lucasfilm their official statement was that's not true
we're still moving forward with it with stuff i mean who knows whether that's true or not they'll
probably just say the thing that is least controversial i'd imagine but also other sides are saying they're actually
it's not stopped it's being reassessed right so they're like well solo made no money but what if
it made some money yes you know what i mean and i guess a lot of on all these websites are sort of
relying on that clickbait like just the idea of these movies are off these movies are on they're off again like
that gets people to click definitely we are the only ones immune to this that's correct we're
the only ones giving the objective information and that is we legitimately don't know we don't know
and one at least one of us doesn't care try and guess uh but no i mean are you surprised that they'd be reassessing any of this i mean
i'm not i'm not surprised but i feel like again solo's a blip yeah it could be yeah it depends
what it depends what you do i i apparently they're still moving forward with the new series of films
you know the ryan johnson and the yeah i think that also they they probably should lean into the new trilogy more
because a lot of people really,
I know that they're controversial to a lot of people,
which we can get to actually,
but a lot of people love those new characters and want to see,
you know,
things around that exist around those new characters.
Yes.
People,
people like Ray and Poe and all the other ones or whatever I would say on
the whole.
I agree.
But, yeah, I think the long-form storytelling
might be a better way to approach it as opposed to,
this is 20 years after Return of the Jedi,
but what if we went 10 years before the original?
Why?
You know what I mean?
Maybe with Marvel you keep a consistent timeline.
Yeah.
Might be the way to do it.
Well, exactly.
Except for the Obi-Wan.
And, again, there's only a limited anything's anything prequely there's
only a limited unless you're going to tie it back into the new stuff unless you unless you cover a
character like the dice yes no didn't really no not so much but like unless it's a character that
you introduce in the past that is potentially long-lived enough to then appear in the new movies,
then we know that the character you introduce in the past is probably dead or has flown off into the sunset or what have you.
Literally the sunset.
Sometimes.
And, you know, are we going to love this character enough over the course of two hours to get another sequel even closer to their deaths?
Yeah, exactly.
I don't know.
I think if it was a Han Solo spinoff movie
and it was set five years before The Force Awakens,
it probably would have done really well.
Right.
Because you get Harrison Ford back, you know?
That's right.
So that was the original question.
So I feel like, yeah, that's the thing.
Like, if I were given the keys to the Star Wars franchise,
I would not be worried about.
You'd drop them down the drain.
Well, exactly.
Then you'd have to call your dad.
No, I'd just brush my hands of the whole deal.
I'd be like, well, no more for anyone.
And then I'd walk away whistling a happy tune.
But I'd be like, yeah, I mean, there's a lot of there's a lot of reasons
not to panic here
I think I will continue
forward with again
an Obi-Wan movie
that people would like
but it seems like
in Hollywood
if the movie
literally the only thing
that counts is the bottom line
they don't go
okay well maybe
it's too close to the other movie
maybe it's because
it was on this particular weekend
maybe it was this
and blah blah blah
they just go
it didn't make enough money
that means this idea is bad and let's get rid of it.
Yeah, right, yeah. But again, none of this is
official. They're saying they're putting
a halt on movies that were never announced.
So we don't really know what's
going on. And you heard it here first.
Oh, yeah, we did it again.
And maybe you'll hear it again next week.
So keep listening in, like and subscribe.
But in the spirit of Star Wars,
there being no Star Wars news this week
Yes
There's more Star Wars news
Oh but you just said
And me and the listeners
But mostly me
Were very happy that there was no more Star Wars news
After that Star Wars news we just heard
I think you enjoy this Star Wars news though
And you were here the other day
When this kind of popped up online
Oh okay yeah
In its infancy
Yes
And that is a fan fundraising campaign
to remake The Last Jedi.
And fundraising campaign is very much in air quotes there.
Yeah, we shouldn't even be bringing this up
because this is nothing.
But it's either a very stupid group of people
or people or they're liars
or this is a scam
or it's a combination of all those three things.
Yeah, it could be a combo.
I've seen Ocean's Eleven.
It could be a series of different scams and releases.
The idea is, I can't remember the website, and that's not me not promoting it.
You can just Google it.
I don't care.
I would love to see this happen, actually.
They want to remake The Last Jedi, and the plan is to raise $25 million, but they already have independent backing allegedly yes i should say yeah allegedly they have an independent backer who will match dollar for dollar so they're going to take that 50 million dollars to lucasfilm with a fan written
script and then they're going to ask lucasfilm to make it yeah that's so yeah okay they're going to say hey we've got
50 million dollars can we
make a Star Wars
make an official
because they're going to allegedly
this is all alleged and it's incredible
stuff because they're going to release it
in cinemas
how are they going to get distribution
rights
who is this mystery backer?
There's no names associated with it.
And also, if you, as we had a look at it last week,
when you say you're going to pledge this amount of money,
you don't have to put any credit card details in or anything like that.
You can just say that you're pledging up to $10,000.
So... And they emphasize they're not going to take your money you can just say that you're pledging up to $10,000. Yes.
And they emphasize they're not going to take your money until they hit the full amount.
Yep.
And then if they don't,
if they take it to Lucasfilm and Lucasfilm say no,
they're going to give that money back.
Yes.
If it gets to that point, it's possible.
Yep.
It's unlikely, I'd imagine.
No one's seeing that money again.
No, for sure.
That money is gone.
I don't think I mentioned this, Joe, but maybe I mentioned it in another podcast.
I think you have mentioned it, but you should mention it anyway.
The one time I used Kickstarter, I Kickstarted a watch.
Yes.
And it was like $130 or something like that.
And I'm like, I'll pay that amount for a watch.
And the Kickstarter guys who were running this kickstarter whatever
what do they call it uh i was gonna say scam but that's it yeah but scheme campaign whatever
they were expecting like 50 000 and they got like 1.02 million dollars or something like that
and then nobody got a watch no and i'm not saying i'm not alleging anything in particular
but i'm saying is it there was just a series of blog posts about how everything was going wrong
and oh no this is what a what a bloody oh we we tried to make the the manufacturer won't accept
our orders anymore oh we had a part that didn't work so we had to order more and then it kept
going and then one of the guys is like i'm living in a van outside the factory here's a photo of the van or whatever and then they were like sorry guys we've run out of money and then somebody
was like hey i that photo of the van is fake and so what has been alleged is that they were just
like well we just got a million bucks we'll never get a million bucks again especially do you think
they have a plan to give anybody that money
yeah I think so
yeah yeah
they plan to make it
yeah I think so
yeah right
oh wow
they're almost to a hundred million dollars
but that
exactly
but you can
you can individually
this is
this is the Star Wars thing
you can individually
which
you
so I'm just looking at this Twitter
okay well while you're doing that
I should say
that you
once we figured out
that you didn't have to donate
any actual money you can just pledge.
You were like, I'm going to pledge a million dollars.
No, I was going to donate the $25 million.
I was going to take it up to the maximum amount.
Yeah, right.
But you can only donate $10,000.
At a time.
And if I was a younger man, if it was 10 years ago, I would have made individual accounts all the way up to this if i had the time
but i'm too old now i can't i can't do it but i love some of the responses from people
like suggestions to make it better i'm trying to find some good ones here but they're hilarious
just like really specific and odd things what about there shouldn't be any uh any gravity in
space for the bombs dropping or whatever apparently Apparently, you know, that bombing thing at the start.
Apparently, they're magnetized anyway.
There's sound in space in all of these movies.
If you're so pedantic about that particular thing,
there's a bunch of shit in these movies that don't make sense.
All the movies.
Yeah.
Again, I just had a conversation with somebody about this today,
where it's like, yeah, there are problems with these latest movies,
but there are problems with all the movies like the first the first movie uh why do they have to wait till that moon moves
before they can blow up yeah what is it dantooine i mean and there's just blow up the moon if our
moon exploded we'd all die we'd all die yeah and i'm sure there's in canon explanations like well
the death star was too close to the moon and that's what i'm sure they've explained it yeah
afterwards yeah but it's it's all nonsense a lot i mean there's there's space
splugs that live in space who live in asteroids with no atmosphere yeah and yet you can also get
out of the you can get out of your ship and wander around on the inside of the asteroid
with a little mask on little mask on yeah so it's just i i can't find any of the specifics
yeah the specific responses of things but like there's just i i can't find any of the specifics yeah the specific responses
of things but like there's things that i understand where people are like get rid of the canto bite
stuff or whatever oh the casino yeah casino but then like the really specific stuff is like that's
just a thing that you care about like nobody and there's a thing that's one of the things i think
one of the comments by this guy is just like everybody's going to get a say in the writing even if you love it or hate it because obviously
you know writing by committee is much better yeah than one person with one specific vision
of how things should be no it's not that's never been the case and there's people say like well
what about the princess leia stuff because i'd like her to have her, she flies the ship.
In the end, it makes a sacrifice.
How are they going to do that?
And they're like, well, it'll be hard, but we'll make it work.
How?
First of all, you don't own any of this.
Yeah, for sure.
No, they're going to have $50 million, so it's going to be fine.
Yeah, great stuff.
Yeah.
Anyway, this is a scam.
So I'm really looking forward to this.
I don't know if it is a scam. I just think it's- It might be. Yeah, you is a scam. So I'm really looking forward to it. I don't know if it is a scam.
I just think it's...
It might be.
Yeah, you're very possible.
Look, I really want to see this movie though.
Yeah.
Imagine seeing it by the committee.
It's going to be so good.
Disney approved.
Yeah, exactly.
Star Wars remake.
I want my pledge t-shirt.
I saved Star Wars.
Is it?
I saved The Last Jedi.
Something like that.
Yeah.
Nice.
Absolutely.
I should have pledged $25 million.
That's right.
I believe they're nearly at $100 million already.
That's crazy.
So weird.
So weird.
All right, we've got to get off this.
Okay.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, there's a reboot in the works from Platinum Dunes.
Is that Michael Bay again?
That's Michael Bay again.
Andrew Dodge made direct.
He wrote Bad Words.
Do you ever see that? No. That Jason Bateman spelling bee movie Bay again. Andrew Dodge made Direct. He wrote Bad Words.
Do you ever see that?
That Jason Bateman spelling bee movie?
No.
It's quite good.
Okay.
And he's also the screenwriter for Space Jam 2, which I haven't seen.
Keep on jamming.
That can't be right.
I don't know.
It's not out yet.
No, but he's the screenwriter for that.
Okay.
It's going to be LeBron?
I guess.
It can't be Michael Jordan again.
Why not, Mason?
Bring him back, back.
Good question. You know what I mean? Good point, Mason. He retired in the first one and they got him back. It can't be Michael Jordan again. Why not, Mason? Bring him back, back. Good question.
You know what I mean?
He retired in the first one and they got him back.
Do you remember?
That's true, yeah.
Okay.
And there was a bit where it was like Pulp Fiction.
Do you remember?
I do remember that bit. You've seen that t-shirt I shoot.
Yeah.
Pretty rad.
What do you think about that?
Getting back on the Ninja Turtles.
Is this dead?
Is this done?
Why are they...
I mean...
I don't know. I still... i again uh ninja turtles is one of
the few properties that i still have some nostalgia for so and you didn't mind the last one no i quite
like the last one i'm apparently wrong for liking it you like what you want exactly i didn't mind
because i'd heard the the first one of those was really terrible yes i eventually got around to
seeing it on the home release and i was like fine? And I was like, it's fine.
I didn't love it.
It doesn't make any sense.
I don't like the designs.
Uh-huh.
But it's fine.
But I really didn't like the second one too much,
even though it had every element that you'd think I would enjoy. See, that's why I liked it, because it was just the cartoon but live action.
Yeah, yeah.
And it made very little sense.
But I thought it was pretty solid and fun.
All in all, they shouldn't reboot it is what you're saying.
So what direction are they going to go in with this one though?
I assume, and I don't know this,
that they're just going to make it closer to the comic source material,
which would also mean the original movie.
Because the original movie is pretty much just the first run.
Yeah, it's the first Kevin Eastman, Peter Laird,
like the hyper-violent, the bloody...
It's a great comic as well.
Yeah, before it was
taken up by Archie Comics and became the cartoon
and all that sort of stuff, it was just this kind of
It's just this bizarre
daredevil pseudo-spin-off
with a lot of blood.
Yeah, and also
Shredder's killed with a hand grenade. Yeah, Shredder's killed
in it and then he doesn't come back.
Maybe he's back by now and there's
different runs in different universes or whatever but as far as i know that version is dead in there yeah right yeah
but uh no i still think that movie holds up the first first yeah for sure it's kind of like
batman 89 but good oh come on gotcha mason that's your favorite movie yeah
we should watch that movie actually i know that's what i'm talking about commentary just me and you
just sit in silence we watch it watch a movie right wouldn't it be nice to watch a movie together
but sit in silence that's the joke sounds yuck it does doesn't it yeah yeah oh yeah so maybe you
think they do potentially they could go back to yeah animatronic suits maybe yeah or a combination
yeah of yeah but those suits nearly killed people
oh you mean they came to life yeah they came to life a new nightmare style no well they were very
heavy and clunky and i think it was the first time oh no sorry howard the duck was the first
because you talked about this in the do go on one but the freestanding uh animatronic heads yeah
exactly so really heavy so they're yeah so they they were they were the second set of like animatronic suits that were not sort of wired mechanically to like a like a
like a platform or a set of wires that are coming out of the roof or something like that they were
just like remote operated and standing but as a result they were like massively heavy yeah and
probably they probably like pinch at your face almost certainly yeah yeah but i
remember seeing that as a kid how they worked and it's literally like a like a virtual puppets not
a virtual puppet it's like operating a puppet from across the room like you got your hand in a little
sock and you go like this in the mouth yeah it's pretty incredible so no i think maybe something
akin to that with wood would people go back to hollywood go back to that's a yeah well i think
so because i think that's the way you know the new jur hollywood go back to that's a yeah well i think so
because i think that's the way you know the new jurassic park has gone back to puppets you know
like a lot of star wars is now puppets and practical so i think yeah i think there's a
good chance they would i'm just not sure that there's an audience for this i think if there
is you'd probably do this for 40 to 50 million you wouldn't pump in 150 or whatever they did
to the last one because i because ninja turtles is not
the phenomenon that it was when we were kids no and it won't be again either no it's not it's not
it's not blowing kids minds it's just the sort of i wonder if you do it as a a soft reboot as in you
keep maybe just the first one uh-huh and you just follow on from that and even you just said it in
the 90s oh i see right you just do a do it and even you just said it in the 90s
oh I see right
and you just do a
like you know how Terminator's wiping
which we'll talk about
is wiping everything away
and you know
they're going to do a new alien
and whatever
and the new Halloween
just throw the other ones away
well maybe that
I mean that is absolutely
the trend currently
so
I think that is very
that is 99%
you get Corey Feldman back and you're bloody cooking with gas.
You get Elias Koteas as Casey Jones.
He was really good.
He was.
He was a great Casey.
He was way better than the new Casey Jones.
I want to be a detective.
Get out of here.
You've got your own career on TV, isn't that?
TV's Arrow.
Get out of here, Stephen Amell,
you bloody ripped piece of garbage.
Very nice man. I think you're so good at doing those really specific type of chin-ups that no
real person can do get out of here uh creed 2 got a new trailer though first trailer uh stallone's
directing this one yep it looks like it's in the spirit of kind of your rocky three in a way like
a bit darker but a guy who climbs to the top he has
everything you lose your edge yep and you know and then what do you do so wait is this this isn't
set immediately after creed one i like a few years after what happened at the end of creed one he won
he was nice okay because at the start of this trailer or did he see that's what i'm saying
because at the start of this trailer he's clearly been beaten to a pulp by someone.
Yeah, right.
Okay, maybe he didn't.
Whether that's in context of the boxing ring or just on the street.
Yeah.
Who knows?
I think you see him in a couple of fights. Okay, so it's Drago's son as well.
Yes.
And Drago, original Drago, original recipe Drago killed his father in the ring.
Played by He-Man himself.
Dolphin Lundgren.
Dolphin Lundgren. Yeah. Who's actually in Aquaman. Perfect, Mason He-Man himself. Dolphin Lundgren. Dolphin Lundgren.
Yeah.
He was actually in Aquaman.
Perfect, Mason.
That is perfect.
I hope he plays a dolphin.
Did you see his tweet from many months ago?
He's like, hey, everyone, my dolphin is short for dolphin.
Join me in my undersea kingdom.
Did you see that?
It's a real tweet.
He's a real life genius.
No wonder his jokes are so great.
That's right.
It's a good joke.
And it took us months to catch up to his great jokes.
So that we're just
mentioning it now.
He's so far ahead.
Okay.
I'm going to look up
Creed movie right now.
We'll get to the bottom of this.
We're going to figure out
how this movie ended.
This movie we enjoyed
but do not recall at all.
Well, because...
Tessa Thompson's back.
Yeah.
Love her.
She's got...
Because remember
she was making terrible music
but she's like,
I'm making music
while I can before I go deaf.
Oh, that's right.
Bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop.
The music was really bad.
I think you're already deaf, Tessa Thompson,
because your music is terrible.
But she's got the hearing aids.
So Kugel's out.
Director Ryan Kugel's out of this one.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, he's in the Marvel universe,
and who knows what else she's working on.
Yeah.
So what happens at the end, Mason?
Okay, let's see.
Conlon won the fight, but Creed won the night.
Okay.
Conlon.
There we go.
Yeah, that sounds right.
Which is the original Rocky as well.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, so there you go.
So maybe he's just been losing ever since.
Maybe he didn't get his title.
What if this opens with, Creed, what are you doing?
I mean, you lost that one by quite a close margin,
but the rest have been very, very distant margins.
You were getting pulped out there, mate.
This is not good.
I think you fluked that narrow loss last time.
You're bad at boxing, mate.
I don't know who this guy is.
The Australian reporter in the pit.
Oh, no, that was the coach.
His coach is Rocky. Oh, he's got a new coach. He's got a new coach. Okay. He, no, he was his coach. That was the coach. His coach was Rocky.
Oh, he's got a new coach.
He's got a new coach.
He's Australian and he's incredulous.
What are you doing, mate?
What were you doing before this?
Maybe go back to that.
What was he doing?
I can't remember.
Just boxing, I think.
Yeah, he's just boxing.
He was just always boxing.
I like that character a lot.
He's good.
Maybe he'll be back one day. I hope so. Oh, no, I's just boxing. He was just always boxing. I like that character a lot. He's good. Maybe he'll be back one day.
I hope so.
But no, I...
Oh, no, I've fallen down.
Well, I'm dead now.
He won't be coming back, is he?
He won't be coming back.
He's a new Mickey.
But no, I think this could be really great.
And all the Rocky movies except five, which I haven't seen, are pretty good in general.
I agree, yeah.
So, yeah, why not?
Here's something which I think could shape up to be good,
though I shouldn't get my hopes up because we've been burned four times
or three times leading up to this.
Oh, what is this?
Linda Hamilton's been spotted on set of Terminator 6.
Great.
Sarah Connor.
You've seen those pictures?
No.
Dude, she looks great.
Dude?
It looks amazing.
All right, okay.
All right, going back to the well.
Here we go.
Hamilton.
Hamilton.
Terminator. Judge. well. Here we go. Hamilton. Hamilton. Terminator.
Judge.
Six.
Here we go.
Here we bloody go.
What's she been doing?
Nothing.
Really?
She's rich.
She had a divorce settlement from James Cameron.
James Cameron.
She got 50 million bucks or whatever.
All right, okay.
Plus everything else that she would have gotten just from working and being an actor and things.
She did Dante's Peak.
Oh, yeah.
Good point. Yeah. I think she got a lot of money for Terminator Dante's Peak. Oh, yeah, good point, yeah.
I think she got a lot of money for Terminator 2 as well.
Okay, she's wearing that body armour.
Okay, that looks pretty good.
All right.
You know what I like as well?
She's aged.
Like a normal human being? Like a normal human being, exactly.
But it's aged, though, and she's still terrified
that the robots are going to come and get her.
Yeah, right.
Like she's kept in shape.
She's actually in Terminator 4.
She does a voiceover at the start.
There's also some photos of her, like when she's not filming it,
she's just having a dart.
And I'm like, that's great.
61.
I mean, don't smoke.
I'll be serious.
But if you do, punch those darts.
Punch those bloody darts.
Okay, she's got some body.
What can we surmise from this?
I think, okay, my understanding of the premise is that it's
first of all yeah so it's a sequel it's a direct sequel to the second ignoring everything else
because every terminator even genesis even genesis wow i know because she's dead she's dead in the
new continuity because each of the new terminator films after terminator 2 were meant to kick off a
trilogy it's a trilogy of films that tried to kick off a trilogy yeah and they've all got a
different john connor it's absolute insanity yeah but though i watched some of genesis the It's a trilogy of films that tried to kick off a trilogy. Yeah. And they've all got a different John Connor.
It's absolute insanity.
Yeah.
But though I watched some of Genesis the other day, it's okay.
I think Genesis had a great idea.
Yeah.
But a rotten execution.
Yeah.
And it had a rotten.
It opens well.
And it had a rotten reveal.
Yeah.
Of who the bad guy was in it.
And I think if they'd let that lie and we'd been surprised by it in the theatres.
And I mean, a lot of that,
there's the bit where somebody can see their future
through the time stream or whatever,
or grab their future self, whatever it was,
or their past self.
But I love the idea in Terminator 6
of the time stream is just ruined now.
And people, good guys and bad guys
have just gone back so many times
that it's just a mess
and Kyle Reese goes back expecting
to find Val
Kyle Reese, what are you doing mate?
you've already been through time
what were you doing before this?
you should be doing that
oh my god, he didn't fall into a well
he fell through the time stream
this guy
but I love the idea that
he expected her to be like helpless valley girl and then she was she'd been already rescued by
another terminator in the 70s and was now a you know a badass not well cast though no i mean i
yeah i mean i didn't think she was a good i mean you compare her to linda hamilton she's got the
look but she's very tiny yeah like five foot four
or something like that yeah so five foot one maybe yeah um yeah it was just rotten execution i love
the idea that it might just become all right here's another trip through time what's gonna
what are we gonna end up with now yeah you know kind of thing but this one so this is too shiny
as well yeah so but i mean if this is a sequel to termininator 2, is it set now? Yes, I assume so.
So is this one in which Judgment Day in 1997 was averted?
Potentially, yeah.
Or delayed at the very least.
Delayed, okay.
What we do know about it is there's going to be a young Arnold and an old Arnold.
And old Arnold is the template for the Terminator.
So they're going with that.
Which they kind of hinted at in Terminator 3 in like a like a cut out scene
also there's going to be
human Arnold
human Arnold yeah
presumably some kind of
general in the future
or something
okay not general candy
or whatever he was
yeah well that's
Sergeant Candy
I assume not
well that's not
even in the Terminator
continuity of that universe
that wasn't also canon
but
I
I shouldn't get my hopes up
no
every time I hear
something about this
I'm like
maybe yeah might be good this is about when a franchise gets good again I shouldn't get my hopes up. No. Every time I hear something about this, I'm like, maybe.
Yeah.
Might be good.
This is about when a franchise gets good again, if it does.
Number five, normally.
Five.
Well, that's a miss.
You're a movie late, but we'll take it.
Yeah, we'll take it if it's good.
What else we got here?
Tom Holland has just revealed the name of the new Spider-Man movie.
It's called Spider-Man Far From Home.
I don't like it but whatever it doesn't matter
tom holland what are you doing mate what are you doing revealing the title early mate
what are you doing mate you're gonna get so much trouble the boss is at marvel mate what are you
thinking just keep your mouth shut learn your lines mate i like how he's just actively discouraging people just across the universe.
Whatever you're up to.
What are you doing?
No, come on.
You're on a good thing, mate.
You're on a good wicket.
You need Australian references in there as well.
Don't jeopardise your job, mate.
Look, I'm not pissing in your pocket, mate.
I just need you to get it together.
Sorry, sir.
I'm just trying my best. Just try my best. I'm just trying my best just try my best I'm just oh this isn't a good show
anymore is it what do we do here someone argue it's never been a good show yeah that's probably
true but he did it wasn't one of those fake accidental revealed like reveals like he held
up the script or on his ipad i don't like the title apparently
it said in london some of this or whatever and okay yeah whatever um i was gonna say how would
he get his costume through customs but we're in a world where tony stark can just launch it in a
rocket across a continent exactly also you think the new one doesn't have anything in it anyway so
i'd probably just you could probably just get it through. Yeah, exactly. That's probably true, yeah. Yeah, which I think is right, looking at the Avengers, yeah.
Also, there's a Silk movie, it looks like, in the works at Sony, another spin-off of
their new Spider-Man universe.
Okay, this is the latest in their soon-to-be-cancelled Spider-Man spin-offs.
All right, I'm listening.
They cancelled Silver and Black, didn't they?
Yeah, they did, yeah.
If that was ever announced.
What's Silk again?
Doesn't she got, she's got all the Spider-Man's powers or something?
I'm very vague on Silk.
Yeah.
I think her costume is made of webbing.
Is that?
Very good.
I know.
Makes sense.
What, she makes a new one every time?
I think so.
Going back to the well.
Here we go.
I remember on bloody Beyond Tomorrow or Beyond 2000,
that Australian show that was about the future,
but it was always about a car that turned into a boat, as we've talked about before.
And one of the things they showed was the future of clothing is spray on clothing.
So you know how sometimes clothing is a little bit baggy.
Imagine if you sprayed on a skin tight shirt.
Yeah, that's fucking great.
Imagine that.
They put it on like Matt Shervington.
That's awesome if you're Olympic runner Matt Shervington who has 3% body fat.
But what about anybody else in the world?
Anyway, it just looked horrendous.
And at the end of the day, you'd peel it off and throw it in the bin.
And I'm like, well, that's the worst idea of anything ever.
Okay.
So Silk's abilities were gained.
She was bitten by the same spider as Peter Parker.
So before it died.
Yeah, before it died.
Okay.
So she has... has wait as in the
same like directly after immediately afterwards and then she just lay low for a decade let's see
she's unable to control her powers oh no uh and she's okay and then she after six years training
to use her powers she's locked up to protect her blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
look at it basically it looks like she's been in she was in training for six years okay fair enough
yeah okay uh and she has unlike original recipe peter parker she has organic web shooters as
opposed to mechanical web shooters well this is a character that must have been invented
around the time of the new movie 2014 that's that newer character okay there you go yeah well now we're all up to date she's also k character yep okay there you go
yeah
well now we're all up to date
she's also Korean American
so there we go
there you bloody go
are we ready for another
casting controversy
when they make her white
I'm always ready for that Mason
I'm constantly bracing myself
yeah
no I think they'll actually
go with that now
they should
yeah
if they make this movie
which they won't
they will not
Disney have upped
Comcast's 65 billion billion all-cash bid
to buy all the Fox properties.
Yes.
Including the crap stuff.
Their bid is $71.3 billion and $38 per share in cash and stock,
whatever that means.
But if you're unhappy with this,
there's a fan out there who's doing a remake, the remake
Fox, Marvel's bid for Fox's properties.
And if they can just-
They've got a backer already.
They've got a backer who will meet, they're going to get $50 billion and their backer
will give the other $50 billion, making $100 billion.
And then you can make whatever silver and black silk Spider-Man movies you want.
No, that's a Sony thing.
That's a different property.
Oh, yeah, okay.
You can make as many X-Men, Banshee movies as you want.
So good.
As many as you need.
So good.
I'm in two minds about where this should go.
Yes.
I mean, with Disney, it's in good hands in terms of creatively, potentially.
But also, it's a lot for one studio.
And also, I don't really like comcast
either no exactly the worst it's it's lose lose they say again even though we are outside the
grip of comcast because we are not subject to their internet service everybody i know in america
who has comcast or any any association associated with them is like they are the worst company in
the world exactly and so yeah well like technically ea was the worst company in the world. Exactly. And so, yeah.
Well, technically, EA was voted worst company in the world.
Was it?
There you go.
I think they won two years in a row.
Congratulations, EA.
Yeah.
Look, I don't think that's objectively true, but it shows how much people hate EA.
Oh, for sure.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, I don't know.
I'm in two minds about it.
I think to keep everything away from Comcast.
Yeah.
But.
This is all about streaming.
Yeah.
This is all about controlling content.
I imagine what is going to happen is that Disney are going to sell off.
Like once they get all the Fox's entertainment properties,
they're going to sell a lot of them off again.
You think?
I think they're just going to.
Because they have to like.
Hang on.
I'm just going to adjust here.
Hello, dog.
Sitting on my weird wallet.
Anyway.
It's a weird wallet. It is a weird wallet.
It's a weird wallet, listen.
You listen.
Because I don't think they want everything.
Yeah.
I think they're going to be... You have to buy it all as a lot, I assume.
And I think they're just going to buy most...
They're going to buy the whole thing
and then sell off what they're not going to use.
That's very possible.
I think merchandise alone, they might keep it.
Yeah. And then a lot of this're not going to use. That's very possible. I think merchandise alone, they might keep it. Yeah.
And then a lot of this stuff will go to streaming services.
And maybe they'll just be like, well, Aliens is now a streaming service show.
It's not a...
Yeah, right.
I think they're going to make a whole bunch of separate smaller divisions.
Yeah.
And then just own everything.
Fox Searchlight is good producing some indie stuff.
Indie darling stuff.
Can you name one?
Not off the top of my head, no.
Probably one about a sad dad.
Sad dad, yeah.
He's looking after his sister's kid because his sister died or something.
But he just wants to build boats or something.
Yeah, for sure.
Yeah, yeah.
Depressed boat builder.
Yeah, it's good.
Yeah, it's really, yeah.
Ryan Felipe's in it.
He's back. He's back. Sideways. There's back sideways there's a fox i've never seen it it's good i bet it's not it's got the sandman in it i know the sandman
it's got the other one right the rhino in it it's got two great spider-man villains the best ones
three billboards you've seen three billboards i like three oh i did and i did it i've been
two minds about it what did you think that well that's good it make you think it made me think do i like this yeah all right
i liked it because it felt like just a slice of life of like a bunch of awful people and i don't
think it had to be any more than that i just think it was kind of he is but it takes a turn at one
point which i didn't fully think was earned oh okay i'm not talking about it okay i don't want
to spoil three okay right yeah uh-huh all right i think i like the first three quarters more than
okay the rest of it yeah right anyway should we do the next ad and then talk about how many
kingdoms are there that are falling down mason audiobooks are a great sidekick for summer
activities i'm talking hiking
I'm talking sunbathing
I'm talking beach
I'm talking running
I'm talking road tripping
I'm talking enjoying downtime outdoors and more
I'm talking a barbecue where you're on the bloody tongs
And you don't want to talk to anybody
So you put an audiobook in
So you've invited people around for a barbecue
Correct, I'm on the tongs
You're on the tongs
Yes
But you just want to listen to an audiobook
That's correct
I understand that Mason
Because listening I find And when somebody's like Hey mate, Mason. Yeah. Because listening, I find...
And when somebody's like, hey, mate, can you put on some more chops?
I'm like, no.
Hey, how about you shut the fuck up?
Exactly.
I've been to your barbecues.
I'm listening to an audio book.
Hey, somebody's falling in the pool.
Shut up.
Shut up.
I'm listening to an audio book.
Listening, though, is a better way to binge content outdoor concerts
i'm there i'm watching i'm watching sublime that's right i get to the big chorus and what i got and
i'm like shut up i'm listening to an audio book so i'm still around i don't know if they are i
don't know i'm sure they are all right uh but i find they're really good because to actually
physically sit down and read something
yep i often don't have the time to do that so if i'm driving or running or going anywhere or
barbecuing barbecuing you're on the tongs i'm yelling at my guests you know how difficult it
is to be on the tongs yeah and also turning the pages of a book it's really hard so difficult
that's what you used to do yeah like. Like a savage. Exactly. Yeah. Audible, though, have the largest selection of audio books on the planet, which lets you
fill your summer or winter, we're in winter, with stories like, and I thought, hey, what
better book to tie into our episode this week than the original Jurassic Park book by Michael
Crichton, which I maintain to this day is still a great book.
I love the first one and the second one, The Lost World, as well.
It's a really interesting kind of slice of life
for where DNA technology was at that point in time.
Yeah, right, and Unix systems.
And Unix system, almost certainly.
I'd be interested to, because I haven't listened to it.
So we've got Jurassic Park, Michael Crichton, 15 hours, 9 minutes,
narrated by Scott Brick.
That'd be longer, okay.
Yeah, but if you've read the original
jurassic park there's a lot of bits where it's just displays of what is happening on the unix
screen so i'm i'd be really interested to see how they're describing it in the book well i remember
skipping those as a kid when i read it the first time so i don't think they'd probably include them
they'd just be like and then there's a page of unix stuff yeah for sure just take my word for it
you don't need to know any of it. Yeah.
Maybe they readapt.
Maybe they've since re-edited it so it's more like the movie.
Okay, sure, yeah.
It's like,
I'm hacking into the Matrix or whatever.
I'm getting into the Matrix files.
Ooh, they've got a whole bunch
of Michael Crichton on here.
Yeah, yeah.
They've got Sphere.
Oh, yeah.
I've never read that.
They've got Prey,
which is about the swarm
of killer nanobots.
I have read that one.
I like that one, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Congo.
Congo.
Do you like Apes and Lasers?
I can't hardly recommend Congo. I haven't read it, but I've only seen the movie. Yeah, yeah. Congo. Congo. Do you like apes and lasers? I can't hardly recommend Congo.
I haven't read it, but I've only seen the movie.
But I did like the bit where they cut up a bunch of apes with lasers.
Yeah, yeah, that was great stuff.
With a diamond gun.
Ooh, Andromeda Strain is on there.
Okay, good stuff.
He's got the new one about dragons or something.
Well, he's dead.
He's so dead.
There was one, there was a new one.
Oh, man, he produced some great pirate latitudes.
What's that about?
Anyway.
It's mostly about stealing graph paper. Oh, man, he produced some great pirate latitudes. What's that about? Anyway. It's mostly about stealing graph paper.
Oh, nice.
It's worth a lot on the black market.
You better believe it is, Mason.

It doesn't help you switch semen.

I love that, how it can switch between devices.
That is great.
It remembers where you are.
Yeah, that's right.

I consciously made a decision not to do it in that Adam Sandler movie voice.
Oh, Michael Crichton, Great Train Robbery.
Get that one.
That's a good one.
Mason, Jurassic World, Fallen Off Kingdom.
Yes.
It's a movie.
It's in cinemas the world over.
It took us bloody time getting here, didn't it, mate?
I'll tell you that much.
Did it?
Yeah, it came out in England like two weeks ago.
Did it really? Yeah, remember we were considering England like two weeks ago. Did it really?
Yeah, remember we were considering flying over for the premiere,
for the world premiere?
Yeah, but we insisted on first class.
Correct.
And Claire was like, I'm not paying $10,000 a ticket.
And we said, you will pay for that, Claire.
And then she didn't.
She didn't.
And there was nothing more we could do.
Yeah, and we weren't really invited.
No, no.
None of that story is true.
None of it.
Just to clarify.
But it's doing really well domestically in the US.
It looks like it's going to hit $144 million over the weekend.
They estimated between $130 to $140 million,
so a little bit above that.
And worldwide, the total so far is $524.7 million.
What we're going to do as we do every episode,
there's a few spoilers in here that haven't been revealed in the trailers.
Very few, but all right. If haven't been revealed in the trailers. Very few, but all right.
If they have been revealed in the trailers,
we'll probably talk about them in the non-spoiler section
because that shit's been out there for like a year.
And then we'll go into spoilers, but it's all time-coded below.
But if you really don't want to know anything,
you could probably skip this.
Skip this, skip what we're reading, skip the letters segment,
skip next week episode because we're definitely going to spoil something from this episode
in this because we'll just forget that we're talking about this on a podcast and we'll
just have a conversation.
Look, my memory isn't what it used to be, Mason.
I'm not going to lie, but I know yours is in terms of what you think the story was.
Oh, you got me.
You look genuinely surprised.
I know.
You looked rattled.
Yes.
Like a man talking to you while you're trying to listen to an audio book
while on the tongs.
God damn.
What do you got?
All right.
Because oftentimes, a little bit of a peek behind the curtain,
I'm not actually rattled when you ask me what the story was
because we've done it so many times that I actually am aware.
But this time, you bloody got me.
So, okay.
So it's shortly after the events of the original Jurassic World.
It's the real time.
Yeah.
So, and after the event, they've shut down the park, obviously.
There's been a massive group lawsuit.
What do you call that?
A grawsuit.
A grawsuit.
Thank you.
A Tim McGraw suit because it's so much class action there's been a class action lawsuit that's cost them 800 million
dollars or something like that because it isn't that much it's not that much considering there
were thousands of people there and they were all killed by dinosaurs i'd imagine in gen are like
disney 800 million dollars is nothing to them right yeah anyway so i keep going or is it though no not for that part because this movie this movie we're about to watch is about i feel i feel the
plot of this hinges on the bad guys doing something that if in gen were doing anyway
yeah they'd have a lot more money but it doesn't seem like they were doing that
we'll talk about in spoilers but i don't know like they were doing that. We'll talk about it in spoilers. We'll talk about spoilers, yeah.
I don't know if they do.
I think InGen are literally, maybe they're just like.
They're like Kodak.
Yeah, I don't know.
I think maybe they're like flu vaccines, but also dinosaurs.
Like dinosaurs.
Yeah, I know he does do other stuff.
I think they're like a fun, like this is their fun side project.
Like it's, sure we make landmines, but we also make clone dinosaurs yeah anyway yeah but
anyway yeah you're right it's probably not that much money anyway uh so they're shutting the
they've shut the park down but there's a bloody a newly active reacted volcano on
on on the isla nublar correct and uh and it's gonna explode and kill all the dinosaurs
so who's gonna get the dinosaurs to explode and kill all the dinosaurs.
So who's going to get the dinosaurs off?
Or should they get the dinosaurs?
Should they even get the dinosaurs off? Should they just let them go extinct?
Let them die, yeah.
They probably should have, but they don't.
Yep.
So I didn't like this.
Didn't you?
I didn't think it was very good.
I quite liked it.
What are you talking about?
It was a fun thrill ride.
It was not a fun thrill ride.
Yes, it was.
It was derivative, and there were some
flashes of good stuff
in it
but derivative of what
previous movies
previous all movies
or previous Jurassic
Park movies
mostly Jurassic movies
I know you haven't seen it
or if you haven't
a long time ago
you should watch
The Lost World
because if you like this
you should watch
The Lost World
is it much the same
no The Lost World
is a better film
but that's what I'm saying
is it set
is it set in a mansion there's a lot there's actually a lot of similarities because the
lost world is also about getting dinosaurs off the island for profit or whatever okay
but not for not to bloody give them guns or whatever yeah uh well that's the thing maybe
because it's i haven't seen all the other ones yeah that i'm not sick of the tropes yet yeah
but that's the thing i'm not sick of the tropes or. Yeah, but that's the thing. I'm not sick of the tropes or the dinosaurs, but this was...
This is...
And look, to be fair, I didn't hate it,
but I think this is the worst one.
Really?
By a fair margin, yeah.
Worse than...
Three, yes.
Worse than...
Three.
Nice.
Back to yourself.
That was good.
There's so many nonsensical...
And I think because it's broken up into two parts,
like your Dinosaur Island stuff and Spooky Dinosaur Mansion,
I don't think either of them are particularly effective.
Okay.
I thought Dinosaur Island was way better than Dinosaur Mansion.
Yeah, I'd agree with that too, yeah.
Wow, that sounds like a series of video games.
But I think that...
I think, for me, the Dinosaur Island stuff was fun enough
to overcome the fact that it was kind of cliche.
Yeah.
No, that was probably my favourite part,
and I thought it was going to be the other way around.
Yeah, right.
I thought it was when we see the new stuff.
You were like, oh, Dinosaur Mansion's going to be fun.
Yeah, but it was kind of not.
Yeah, right.
This guy's got a horror directing background,
and the movies of his that I've seen are like The Impossible,
which actor has Tom Holland as a little boy.
Hello.
Ewan McGregor's his father. It's good. It ewan mcgregor's his father it's good it's about a father yeah it's good daddy anyway you should watch it it's really good but uh no i just i think it's also kind of highlighted the flaws
with this the new series more like it didn't kind of build off the last jurassic world and make the
characters more endearing or or add anything new to the lore in terms of stuff
we didn't really know from the last movie.
Because the big plan in this one, a lot of it is,
we'll make the Indominus Rex again,
but it can run down a corridor.
Yes.
You know, like it's not really a, you know,
and then at the end-
I thought it was scarier.
Yeah, it's probably a scarier film, sure,
because it's-
I thought that I meant the dinosaur itself is scarier.
Yeah, because it can open doors and stuff,
like a wrap, because it's small.
Yeah, yeah.
But I think, I don't think it's a, I think I preferred the last one.
Should have given it 100 guns.
That's just kidding.
Well, we talked about that.
I mean, this one did get, we were given another kind of, we were given an evil businessman.
Yeah.
We were given another dinosaur hunter.
Yes.
What's his deal? What's going on there. What's his deal?
What's going on there?
What is his deal?
There's also a dinosaur hunter very similar to him
played by Pete Pothwaite in The Lost World.
You should watch The Lost World.
I'm not going to.
No, you really should.
If you liked this, you'll probably really like The Lost World.
And it's Maximum Goldblum.
It's a Goldblum movie.
I do like Goldblum.
You should watch it.
I'm telling you, man.
I like his Instagram.
Yeah, exactly.
And it's not a perfect film, but it's better than this.
I'd be interested to know what you think.
Okay.
What do you think about the Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard's character?
They're fine.
They're fine.
I think Bryce Dallas Howard's character's improved quite a lot.
Yeah.
Footwear-wise, at least.
Yeah, for sure.
I liked most of their interactions.
They were pretty good.
Have they made his character dumber?
I think maybe...
They made him...
He's kind of dumb in the first one, wasn't he?
Yeah, maybe he's kind of dumb in the first one.
He's so rugged.
He's always out in the open, isn't he?
Yeah.
He's building a house.
He's reloading a gun.
Yeah.
He's touching lava with his bare hand.
That happened, didn't it?
Yeah, maybe.
I think it happened.
All right.
It definitely happened. Okay. Yeah, that bit I quite like, though, I think it happened. All right. It definitely happened.
Okay.
Yeah, that bit I quite like, though, that scene.
Yeah.
Which we'll probably talk about more in spoilers.
But, no, they're fine,
but I don't think any of these new characters are iconic
as the stuff that people introduced in the first one.
And maybe it's because I saw those movies when I was a kid,
but those characters felt more like real people.
And even the way the B.D. Wong developed feels more real
than just like a cool guy who rides a motorcycle who's good at everything you're
not talking about the side characters because we get supporting characters we get a we get a
paleo veterinarian i guess or a dinosaur veterinarian and a nerd exactly i quite like
those guys yeah they're fine i didn't mind he probably screamed a bit much. Yeah, yeah, right. But I thought they were okay, actually.
But he gets less terrified as the movie progresses, which I think is...
He's more comfortable indoors.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah.
I like those guys.
I'm sure they're trying to...
They're going to attempt to spin them.
They're going to focus group those characters and see if they're popular and then spin them off.
It's weird they didn't bring back Jake Johnson in that role, though.
Yeah, right?
Because he's the park tech guy.
It would make sense.
But I didn't mind the new guy.
I don't know his name, but I didn't mind either of them.
But the villains were appropriately villainous,
and there's kind of a – it's not really a reveal,
but there's a twist in terms of which one of them is a villain,
which we'll talk about in spoilers,
which was just like his whole demeanor changed.
Yes, it sure did.
His clothing changed.
Yeah, okay. We'll talk about it later. Okay, I won't lie to you. I was in the toilet when thatanor changed. Yes, it sure did. His clothing changed. Yeah, okay.
We'll talk about it later.
Okay, I won't lie to you.
I was in the toilet when that was happening.
Okay, right.
No wonder you like this movie.
Yeah.
You're a great wee.
Yeah.
I didn't mind James Cromwell as the other bloody Richard Attenborough.
Correct, yes.
Or whatever.
It's a shame that I think that role would have been really good for Richard Attenborough. Correct, yes. Or whatever. It's a shame that I think that role would have been really good
for Richard Attenborough.
He died in 2014 and he wasn't acting a lot of the end.
Yeah, they could have gone.
Who?
David Attenborough.
Yeah, exactly.
But a lot of that guy's backstory was me and Hammond built the park together.
Where the fuck were you?
I've never even heard of you, mate.
There's been five of these movies.
You're very old.
You've been around for a lot of this and the thing that you did to piss off hammond that must have happened
in 1998 yep because they separate for various we'll talk about spoilers uh-huh but okay i think
i mean that's where you've been cromwell yeah see i don't think that that is a i don't think that's
an issue at all because that's just retconning like that happens in comic books all the time
that happens in all the comic book movies just like oh we need another protagonist
well so there was another guy on the team in the 40s or whatever here he is well the other thing
that was uh because the the other movies are now this movie confirms that they're all in continuity
so two and three uh-huh and i've talked i did an easter egg video that i talk about it there
about specific links because they reference moments okay from those movies I was going to say, I can't remember.
So I was thinking at the start of this movie,
why are they going to Dinosaur Explosion Island
when there's another island with all the dinosaurs that is roaming free?
They could just go grab them because there's two islands.
You're familiar with Site B, right?
Yes.
That's Jurassic.
That's Lost World.
That's where Lost World 3 is set.
But apparently in the, and this is in the official wiki and whatever,
assuming comic books,
they do go and get those dinosaurs
and they put them in the park.
So they're not there anymore.
Oh, so they emptied out site B.
Site B, apparently, yeah.
So there you bloody go, mate.
There we go.
Yeah.
But again, though, these movies,
I still think if you hadn't seen those movies,
well, as you haven't, it doesn't really, it doesn't matter at all.
You don't need to know any of that regardless.
That's just kind of on me.
There's a little, the new little girl,
because there's always going to be a fraidy cat kid.
She was good.
Yeah, I agree.
I think the kids in all these movies, they normally cast them pretty well.
And she was good.
Yeah.
Did you like the emphasis on animatronics over CGI?
There was a blend. And did you think the blend worked? Ironics over cgi that there was a blend and did you think
it would the blend worked i think it did for the most part yeah much better than because we
recently re-watched jurassic world for a commentary and some of that stuff some of the cgi was
surprisingly bad in that yeah and this this was much improved i think i think a lot of this is
darker as well like yeah i mean literal darkness for a bunch of it yeah but there is like they i know they made a t-rex for the bit where chris
pratt's in the cage with it or whatever it's in the trailer and the the main villain dinosaur like
they made them when they're all kind of stampeding together main villain dinosaur i mean they cgi'd
the twirly mustache yeah i think that works but when they're all kind of running, it's like a bit of a stampede.
It's obviously CGI'd.
It doesn't look as good, I guess.
But I think it's a better looking movie than the last one.
Yeah, right.
On the whole.
And they did a good job of run down Jurassic World Park.
Yeah, that's true.
It felt the same, which I quite liked, yeah.
Did you think the action sequences, this work,, they start big and then they get smaller?
Yeah, right.
You said you liked the island stuff more.
Was that what you liked about it?
That is a good question.
I'm great at everything.
You're great at asking questions.
That's right.
But you're not great at answering questions of your own.
Same question back at you.
What did I even say?
See?
I don't know.
I don't think it's a scale issue.
I think, you know.
A creativity thing?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I just love people running from stuff on islands.
Sure.
How good is it?
That's why you loved Lost.
Yeah.
That's why you jumped on board for all 15 seasons
or whatever like that.
To it for, right?
No, I've never watched Lost.
Mate, you're going to love it.
If you like people running from things on an island.
No.
But if you also don't want to.
I love people running from definitive things on an island.
I was going to say, if you want to, you know.
Know what they are.
Know what they are, then yeah.
Sometimes it's a polar bear.
Sometimes it's a cloud of smoke or something.
Yeah, right.
Exactly.
Yeah.
But no, I'm with you though.
I don't think it was a scale thing i think it was
they were better designed and you know there's a bit where the raptors helping them out because
it's like a dog at this point basically i kind of i like the way they elaborated on blue and how it's
it's got more empathy than another it's some sort of genetic anomaly yeah yeah which i quite liked
but i'm not sure i bought why they needed that one in particular. Like why that was the one that they were like.
Yeah, right, right, right.
Exactly.
Yeah.
You could have just, I mean, for what they needed,
you could have just used a hologram probably.
Yeah, definitely.
Yeah, that's fine.
Which they have.
They certainly do.
Yeah.
Did any of the dinosaurs though in particular stand out?
Like Smell-O-Vision hologram.
You put a dinosaur smell.
Smello-Holo.
Yeah.
Did any of the dinosaurs stand out?
Because I mean, that's what these are about.
Yeah.
I mean, We had the little
The little ram dinosaur
Yeah
The name of which escapes me
Again you'd like
The Lost World
Because there's one of that
Oh okay alright
Yeah yeah
And do you think
These are deliberate throwbacks
Or do you think
It's just
There's a limited number of tropes
People know six dinosaurs
People know the main ones
And the ram one
Just makes it in
Yeah right exactly
Look I'm a big fan
Of the ankylosaur
And that made an appearance Sure It's good Enjoy that uh no spitties no spitties no
though i think you hear one apparently hocking one up you see one hocking up a loogie you do
you know what i really liked actually in this i loved the opening sequence was good wasn't it was
amazing yes like legit amazeballs, Mason.
Oh, he's going with amazeballs.
Can we slightly spoil it, I guess?
Yeah, okay, why not.
Okay, so this is a spoiler for the start.
But basically, some InGen peeps go back to the Jurassic World island
and their plan is to get into the Mosasaurus tank
and get the Indominus Rex bones so they can clone it.
From the marrow, presumably, yeah. And they can clone it from the marrow presumably yeah and they
go in there and they're like don't worry everything anything that could be in here is is probably is
almost certainly dead because it's been three years yep it's not it's very much alive yes and
so as that's kind of attacking them i mean they get the bone out uh the t-rex makes an appearance
yes and and is what and it's all kind of comes to a head and i thought
that was like genuinely suspenseful i don't know any of these people but i'm invested in
yes also i want to see him get torn apart and that was because that's the thing it was a way
there was i think it was a well-cast opening sequence yeah because it's characters you
we've never been introduced to before ever yeah but you kind of you're like i want this guy to
live yeah what about this guy what's going on with these people kind of thing you know and it's it's any of them could have
been a main character throughout the rest of the movie so you're like who's gonna who's gonna live
and who's gonna die in this yeah exactly also that whole bit is spoiled in the trailer of what
ends up happening all right i'm not gonna say it but i was gonna say i i think it kind of it
harkens back mason if you don't know oh here we go using that terry harkins is the opening the opening of your favorite character that's right the original
jurassic park has a similar sequence where they're it's a lot of kind of faceless people you don't
know and they're delivering a raptor into the pen and it just goes nuts and kills one of them and
it's really tense and you know it's a great opening you don't really see what's going on
but it's a great opening sequence so it kind kind of reminded me of that. That being said, this is the
worst one. This is the worst Jurassic Park movie.
Disagree. We haven't seen all of them. I know.
Here's a controversial opinion.
Of the movies I've seen, Jurassic
Park, Jurassic World, Jurassic
World Fallen Kingdom, they're about
the same. You are 100% the same.
Quality wise, they are exactly the same.
No, they're not. Yes, they are.
Tweet at me only if you agree.
Should we do spoilers?
Yeah, let's do spoilers.
I'm going to say best movie ever.
I enjoyed this one.
Look, I don't hate any of these.
So I guess it gets a best from me.
But I was pretty disappointed with this.
Yeah.
Because you save your hate for One Legger Die Hard, don't you?
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah.
So just gear up for that.
Wait, I think you'll save your... I meant that. I was talking about that. Exactly, yeah. Yeah. hate for the for one leg of die hard don't you yeah absolutely yeah just gear up for that wait
i think you'll save you i was talking about exactly yeah yeah okay spoilers from here on out
okay what i thought was fascinating about this so they get in first of all let's talk about the
villain so the villain is uh he he's one of the detectives from hot fuzz yes he is he works for
james cromwell james cromwell snatched him out of college and said, I want you to run the nice side of the company and all the good business stuff.
And he's like, okay.
Yeah, but you don't suspect it at the start.
Because he's so nice.
He's not wearing his horn-dribbed glasses.
He's got an open-collar shirt.
He's just cracking wires.
He's cool and casual.
He's cool and casual.
He's self-deprecating.
He's like, oh, I'm not young and cool anymore.
What happened to me?
And then someone flicked a switch in his head
because then he smothers James Cromwell to death.
That's when I left.
Okay, you left that scene.
I heard about that afterwards.
Yeah, right.
And then there's a moment where he meets Claire again.
Oh, my God.
I remember that name.
Claire.
Yeah.
The main character.
He's got them locked up
and he's got
horn-rimmed glasses
and a button-up suit
and he's like
you know
you shouldn't trust anybody
that's not the dialogue
and she hits him in the face
and breaks his glasses
in the next scene
he's got another
pair of glasses
and that bothered me
he just has two
of the same pair of glasses
I mean I guess he does
he's rich whatever
but just so
kind of
you could have just
kept him casual.
Maybe he went to Specsavers.
He might have gone to Specsavers.
Two pairs for $199.
That seems reasonable, sure.
But he's a very rich man.
But just the whole...
He probably bought four pairs for $398.
You don't need to visually represent that he's some buttoned down corporate fat cat.
He could still be the loosey-goosey collar guy.
Well, I agree with that.
I think it's weird it's weird to have
a weird
it's weird to have
a weird thing
but it's weird to have
such a drastic
character left turn
in the middle of a movie
there are
there are movie villains
and it's
I guess it's more
for comedic effect
but it should be more
in every movie
where if a character
is a goofy good guy
at the start
when they take
the heel turn
they should be a goofy bad guy.
You know, it's a good example of that working.
Yes.
Paul Reisner in Aliens.
Yeah.
So there we go.
He's essentially the same character.
You just learn a little bit more about it.
And you hate it.
And you hate it.
Yeah.
And I think that could have worked.
Here's the one I worked.
Yeah.
I was thinking, you know what?
It's not the same thing, but the villain in Solo.
What's his face?
Dryden. Paul Bettany. Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah. He's a lunatic not the same thing but uh the villain in solo what's his face dryden paul
bettany oh yeah okay yeah he's a lunatic throughout the whole thing but like he's he's fun and goofy
yeah that's a good example he's fun and goofy and he's like hey we're just gonna do business
and then he's like but if we don't do business i'm gonna murder you cut your face off your face
off but he maintains that he doesn't become he doesn't start out fun and charming and become
a killer he's always fun and charming and a killer throughout the whole thing.
And I think that should be...
Yeah, he's a fun...
The reason that guy's...
I just find it weird that he just turned it off.
And maybe he's a psychopath and he can do that.
But I just thought that was odd.
I love how...
So they get in Toby Jones because his speciality is auctioning stuff
that you shouldn't auction to the mega rich and the mega evil.
Now, Toby is uh he's
a he's a little man yeah and he's he was a trim and capote type yeah he played him as such in a
movie he's a was he a psychopath in recently was it an episode of sherlock he might be in sherlock
i know he's an he's an evil version of dr who in his head the matt smith version oh i say right
and he's also in uh well he he's Zola, obviously. Yeah.
Oh, no, you're not in Sherlock.
He's like the, he's the head of a company. Yeah, he's the.
And he's like, I'm just a fun-loving guy kind of thing, but secretly.
He's the hospital guy.
He's based off Jimmy Savile.
That's right.
Yeah, okay.
All right, all right.
I was going to say, well, that's not very realistic, but I guess it is if he's based
on a real-life pedophile.
Okay, good stuff.
I'm so glad Jimmy Savile is dead.
Me too.
Just a fucking terrible bloke.
Yeah, so they get him in for the auction
to auction the dinosaurs,
and when they initially bring him in,
he's like,
well, I tell you what,
I don't normally do auctions like this.
I need to make it worth my time.
It's a fucking dinosaur auction.
Are you out of your mind?
Just do it for the novelty value alone.
Just do it.
Are you serious, idiot?
Just do it to be the same,
just to do it in the same room
as a whole bunch of dinosaurs.
I'd do it for free.
And he ends up doing the dinosaur auction,
which is the most ridiculous thing
because they roll out your favorite bloody bad boy,
the Ankylosaurus.
They're like, you know what's good about the Ankylosaurus
or whatever it's called?
It's like a tank except it's living.
Oh, is it?
Can you put like 10 guys in it?
Does it have a turret on it?
Can you put 100 guns on it?
Exactly. Absolute nonsense. I mean, that's the through line, but that's the thing. is it can you put like 10 guys in it does it have a turret on it put 100 guns on it exactly
i mean that's the through line but that's the thing like i think it's more what they because
they say in this movie that selling the dinosaurs is just seed money so they can do other stuff
but i think this is really like this is just kind of pete this is a pt barnum auction
yeah you are tricking these people into buying this stuff.
So you're like, how about $10 million for this?
It's like a walking tank, but it's alive and it's a dinosaur.
And they're like, great.
And then they pay the money for it.
And then they leave and they're like, oh, man.
I can't keep this anyway.
This isn't as good as a tank.
Because a tank, you can just leave it in a storage facility for a year.
You leave a dinosaur in a storage facility for a year, it's dead.
Exactly.
Unless you leave it in a big old fish tank and then it thrives yeah yeah i thought that was yeah
yeah and you could definitely read it like that as a con and i guess all these separate companies
were also doing their own genetic splicing and all that kind of shit which you know which yeah
right be it but just the fact that you'd think that's a good thing to buy and they roll out the
indo-raptor and they're like you know what's good about this it can what is what do they say it can take commands more acutely than a human being
can it really it could take so i could say to that thing hey can you go get me like a can of
coke from the fridge could you do that for me also don't murder me because you're a murderous monster
also can you make it diet coke which is behind the regular coke so if you move the regular coke
just to the side and get a diet coke.
Actually, can I get it in a glass? And I want
three blocks of ice. So I can do that better than
a human being can. You know what that thing can
do? At its best,
you have to have a gun. It can scream at a laser sight.
Exactly. You put a laser
sight on a person and it attacks that person
if it feels like it.
That's the extent of it. I mean, I know that
this is a prototype. We need blue so it teach it how to not to be a lunatic but that is not a good
investment you buy that thing you've lost your mind if you've got a laser sight on someone guess
what you can shoot that person you can shoot that person from space yeah if you got a laser sight on
them you need a dinosaur that's 20 feet from them to then attack them. Yeah, right. It's absolute fucking insanity.
Also, as soon as, and again, I did enjoy this movie, but it's really dumb.
Also, if you're the opposition and you figure out that that's how they're doing it, just
go to like a novelty store and buy a small laser pointer.
Exactly.
Just a bigger one.
Yeah.
And just be like, now it's killing you.
Absolute nonsense.
But again, it's a prototype. It's nonsense. But again, it's a prototype.
Exactly.
It's a prototype.
But even then, I don't think it would get much better than that.
I mean, the Chris Pratt one barely doesn't eat everybody.
And that's the best one.
That's what I'm saying.
I think this isn't...
What they're trying to do is they're trying to monetize this thing
before the bottom falls out of it.
Yeah, okay.
And that's why bloody D'Onofrio in the first one's like,
we're going to weaponize it.
It's not going to work.
But he just wants to make his money and get out.
That's the key.
He's like, I'm going to facilitate this.
I'm going to make hundreds of millions of dollars,
and then I'm going to get out before all these guys are killed
by their own dinosaurs, which is going to happen.
You know where the money is?
It's in cloning dead people.
Yeah.
Which is what they end up doing, which I thought was an interesting twist.
Yep.
Until they don't do anything with it.
Well, they don't, and they don't, and they can't,
because then this becomes, then the Jurassic world.
It's not Jurassic, is it?
The sequel just becomes, hey, we can clone anybody now.
It becomes the sixth day.
Yeah, exactly.
Which is a James Cromomwell movie yeah but i think the idea in in this is that the secret of cloning humans dies with cromwell
yeah so i think she's the only one my my guess would be yeah but that's useful and also he's
movies aren't about you i know but cromwell's not the only one who knows oh who else knows like the
button down uh you think he's a good guy, but he's actually a nerd.
Right, but he doesn't know how it works.
You just need the blood.
Like you need the Indoraptor bone or whatever.
No, I mean the cloning of the girl.
The process.
I'm saying that process died with Cromwell.
Okay.
He's the only one who perfected it and he only did it once.
But did he?
What do you mean?
Well, it's weird because he said Hammond disagreed with what I was doing or whatever but hammond's been dead for 20 years in this universe
and that girl is what 10 maybe so he must be working on it prior okay it's weird that hammond's
like this is the line you've crossed a lot of lines mate yeah yeah that's like and i i that
bit i also understand like if you've lost a, that bit I understand, and I am as a dad, Mason.
You couldn't possibly understand.
Ugh.
Ugh.
Puh.
Puh.
Puh.
Puh.
Puh.
But I think there's an interesting story there,
and also her being a clone ends up leading to releasing the dinosaurs
into the wild.
Yes.
Which is setting up a hopefully more interesting movie
where it's Planet of the Apes, but it's dinosaurs.
You think they're going to make another one?
They are.
It's happening, yeah.
I mean, people have asked whether this is a game,
the game is on.
Did you stay for the post-credits?
I left, I didn't.
I stayed for the post-credits.
And what is it?
Oh, you know what it is?
It's a, you see some pteranodons, they're flying about.
They fly onto like some sort of communications tower or whatever,
like a high thing on the top of a building.
Pans down.
Vegas, baby.
Vegas, baby!
And we see the Bellagio, that pool with the circles in it and the fountains.
I've been there.
This is Jurassic World, oceans crossover.
It's a heist and there's dinosaurs.
I want to see Daddy Ocean get dropped into the mouth of a tyrannosaurus.
Yes, that's how he dies.
That's how he dies.
This is a prequel to Ocean's 8.
That makes a lot of sense.
It's setting up an interesting story,
but also I don't think there's enough of these get out.
It's not like cane toads.
I think you could track these things down pretty quickly.
Well, they all have RFID chips in them.
Yeah, exactly.
And also that T-Rex isn't mating, is it?
No.
Because it's the only one.
Well, that's the thing,
because there doesn't seem to be mating pairs in this.
No.
But maybe they learned to like, maybe they, didn't they?
They can reduce asexually.
Yeah, see, that's weird.
I might be thinking of Godzilla 97.
I think this happens in, I think it happens in Jurassic Park as well.
No, in the first one, they can change sex.
Yeah, that's it.
That's how it works.
Yeah, yeah.
But I love that it's got a scene where B.D. Wong's like,
okay, the dinosaurs are out.
Let's wrap it up.
This has all gone south again.
Let's go to another facility.
What is his end game?
Good question, isn't it?
But I think he just wants to build new species.
He's doing a great job.
Yeah, he really is.
No, he sucks.
He sucks at it.
Put some guns on him, B.D. Put some guns on him. I He really is. No, he sucks. He sucks at it. Put some guns on him, BD.
Put some guns on him.
I want Dino Riders, the movie.
I think also it's their fault that the dinosaurs all escaped.
It really is.
They shouldn't have done that.
There's going to be a lot of deaths on their hands.
Well, there is at the end of this movie.
Yep.
So they go to let him out and then they're like, you know what?
It's probably best to let him die.
And Bryce Dallas Howard is like, it's probably best to let him die because, you know, whatever.
And then the clone kids are like, well, I'm a clone too. And I'm going to let all die and bryce dallas howard is like it's probably best to let him die because you know whatever and then the clone kids are like well i'm a clone too and i'm gonna let all these
dinosaurs out and then it eats that man so yeah that's totally on them when dinosaurs eat people
and run around the world yeah and they should i mean that the most of the stories isn't on them
that's mcgee's in the in the tank or whatever that was that was their fault but so that escaped
yeah god out at the end remember when it was in a big wave it was in a big wave and i was gonna so that yeah i know but i'm saying
did they not so presumably they they closed that gate not in time for it to escape seems you saw
it get out though you saw it in a big wave that's what i'm saying but you didn't you don't see it
leave at the start of the movie you do you see it leave yeah all right okay carry on you go to the
toilet then as well probably i don't have anything I don't have anything to say about this.
Do you have anything else to say?
I don't think so, no.
I got some reviews here from people.
They're very negative.
Really?
Oh, yeah.
I'm not surprised, to be honest.
Some Chon John.
Thought Jurassic World Kingdom That Has Fallen was the worst movie ever.
Thought it was predictable and the movie dragged on a bit too long.
All I want to see is dinosaurs kill humans.
Also, who do you think would win a fight between Jack-Jack and Superman?
Superman, just throw him into space.
I think Jack-Jack would adapt, but he would still win that fight based on...
Yeah, what do you think?
I think Superman.
Especially if it's Henry Cavill, because he'd just snap his neck.
Snap his neck so hard.
But does Jack-Jack have a neck?
He's all like...
He's mostly head and body.
He's mostly head and body, yeah.
Official Dickhead says,
Just got back from the cinema.
Here's my hot scoop of Jurassic World
Fallen Kingdom
it's a real shot of poop
two stars
Dennis Alonzo says
saw Jurassic World 2
and have two magic complaints
about it
they essentially
they essentially allowed
at least a few thousand people
to die
and why would you have
someone call the police
on themselves
yeah yeah
that's fair point
Nathan Cox says
I thought Jurassic World
Fallen Kingdom was great
some of the jump scares
even got me
there you go Mason
there's a bloody positive one Fido Ray says Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom was great. Some of the jump scares even got me. There you go, Mason. There's a bloody positive one.
Fido Ray says, Jurassic World
Fallen Kingdom is not a very good Jurassic Park movie,
but it's a good The Game Is On movie.
I'm not interested in seeing this film, but I'm
interested in seeing the next one and what they'll do with it.
And Dylan says, Jurassic World 2 is an
incomprehensible mess.
I don't think I've hated every minute of a movie
this much since BBS.
Getting back to the Game Is On thing, I don't think it's a Game minute of a movie this much since BBS. Getting back to the Game is On thing.
Yes.
I don't think it's a Game is On movie because this has already made enough money to justify a sequel.
To have a sequel, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, so for anybody who doesn't know.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Gear up.
Gear up.
Every year we give a bunch of our Weekly Planet Awards.
I should just leave this in the description.
They're worth nothing.
One of them is called The Game is On,
in the description they're worth nothing
one of them is called
The Game Is On
which is the
most
we give to the most
ham-fisted attempt
to build a franchise
or set up a sequel
yep
and look
Goldblum has gotten
pretty close in the past
did he win for
Independence Day
researchers
he might have
I think so yeah
but they're like
let's kick some alien ass
that's also a movie
I would have wanted to see
me too
it's a shame
the rest of it was bad.
Agreed.
But I would have seen the sequel.
That's a real shame.
Also, the bird dinosaurs get out at the end of Jurassic Park 3.
And they get out at the end of Jurassic World, presumably.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Anyway, whatever.
Keep going, sorry.
Maybe this is a time shift.
Vegas, baby!
That's what I'm saying.
Maybe they've been in Vegas for ages.
Yeah.
And then the good guys go to Vegas.
They're like, guys, there's pteranodons. They escaped and they're gonna be in vegas and they're like they've been
in vegas for years they got a lounge act now and then the curtain opens and there's a pteranodon
exactly love it um what are we talking about i've forgotten yeah but so the game is on yeah so i
yeah i and i also like i feel i don know, there's been a lot of these.
Like, for this to fail.
Yeah.
But I think Solo now, depending on, like, we're not getting another Solo movie.
Oh, yeah.
That might be a big contender now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So depending on where they're going with that.
I mean.
I mean, Star Wars isn't going to stop, though.
So it probably still doesn't count.
I mean, this is still in contention, I feel, because you don't necessarily...
I mean, it is very much like, what's going to happen next?
Yeah.
So...
But the other movies, everyone...
This could have been a flop.
Yeah.
Maybe not a flop, but it could have underperformed.
I don't think it's going to do well second week, necessarily.
Yeah.
But then again, I'm often wrong about everything.
We're never wrong.
But it's
not going to do as well as the last one yeah yeah so it might be diminishing return so even if this
one does well i think the third one if it's about this good it's not it's not a good sign but if
there's more goldblum in the next one they should be really because all he does is bookend the movie
yeah i told you not to let all the dinosaurs out but you did and now you fucked it idiots
that's what he's basically there for yeah he literally said just kill let them all die yeah and he was right right what is he an ethicist
what's his uh he's a chaos theory theologian well he's been riding that train for like 25 years
hasn't he mate not a real job he came up with some sort of cockamamie, Mickey Mouse, bloody snake oil profession 25 years ago,
and he's just been wearing his smart suits
and he's bloody opening up his shirt.
He's a mathematician, that's right.
Oh, okay, right.
He specializes in chaos theory.
Okay.
Or telling people that what they're doing is bad.
So he made math sexy for a minute.
He did.
Yeah.
And boy, did he.
Next thing, no, next segment?
I don't know what else to say.
Oh, yeah.
I don't think...
What else have I got?
I'm just going through these things.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Also, okay, I didn't even buy that any of these people
who wanted to save the dinosaurs really did.
There's a bit where a Baryonyx attacks them on the island.
What's that one again?
It's the snappy one in the lava.
It's coming through the lava tunnel.
Oh, yes, yeah, yeah.
And they're just like slamming the door on its head.
Yeah, for sure.
And that thing's going to die.
We'll see that soon.
That room's going to fill up with lava.
It's going to die.
You know why?
Because they're middle class.
And that's what we do.
We're like, we want to save all these precious animals.
But we want to save the apes.
And then you go, you visit an ape, and an ape's threatening to you.
And you're like, kill them all.
Kill them all.
Kill them with a flaser.
A flaser.
Congo style.
A flaser. Thatgo style a flaser
that's right it's gonna say flamethrower but then i thought i'd tie it in either would work yeah for
sure yeah what do you what do you call those again the snappy ones oh that was a baryonyx i feel that
was that's just as good as like an indoraptor it's about the same isn't it yeah i bet it would
still attack a laser i mean if you let it's like a cat chasing a laser pointer. Exactly. It would certainly attack a man.
I mean, just use the ankle assault and knock over the front door,
then send a couple of the snappy ones in, and that's it.
You don't need to breed a new one.
Yeah, or just shoot people from space,
which is what you could also do nowadays. Oh, yeah, for sure.
Yeah.
All right, do you know what it's time for then?
Is it time for what we read and what we're going to read?
It is.
Also, I'd love to know people's thoughts on that. You know what? I thought it was like, for sure. Yeah. All right. Do you know what it's time for then? Is it time for what we read and what we're going to read? It is. Okay.
Also, I'd love to know people's thoughts on that.
Ah!
You know what?
I thought it was like...
That's not the...
I know!
You dumbass.
You're a dumbass.
Hey, come on.
I had it ready to go.
I was joking.
Well, come on.
That's okay.
Yeah, people actually...
People have thoughts on Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom.
I'd love to hear more of them.
Anyway.
I'm doing the thing.
I'm doing the thing.
What are we reading today? Ah, what have I been watching?
I've been watching Kimmy Schmidt.
Oh, is that good?
I dropped off pretty early on on that.
It's good.
Hang on.
I'm just going to check my Netflix queue to see what else I've been watching.
There's a show on SBS On Demand just called The Pizza Show.
Not Fat Pizza?
Sorry? Not Fat Pizza? No, it's like a documentary series where they Demand just called The Pizza Show. And they just go around. Sorry?
Not Fat Pizza?
No, it's like a documentary series where they go around eating different pizzas.
Cool.
Let me tell you, I want a bloody pizza right now.
I bet you do, mate.
I know you had a weird meatball pizza the other day.
Oh, I've been watching Luke.
You know what?
I've been watching Black Lightning.
Yes.
Which I've been enjoying.
That's good, isn't it?
It's good.
Is it better than Arrow?
Yes.
Okay.
Yeah.
But it's not tied in with arrow because they've made
points to say different universe so for now yes until they all step through a rift or something
yeah i've been watching black lightning which i'm enjoying i've been watching uh luke cage
i didn't mind it i think the key for watching these netflix series is and it's amazing that
it's taken me long to this long to figure it out,
just don't watch them all over a weekend.
Watch a couple.
I think that's why I'm just stopped completely.
And I think maybe they should be...
I think the overall perception of these shows
would be a lot better now, currently,
if they had released them week to week i think
people would be like i cannot wait for the next episode what's going to happen it's so interchangeable
though yeah but i think but i but the fact that everybody you get them on a friday and then
everybody's like i've got to watch them all by monday because otherwise i'm not going to be
caught up with everybody else yeah he's killing them yeah absolutely because i watched a couple
and i'm like well this is fun and i is fun and I'm choosing not to watch anymore
and I'll watch some more later and it's not destroying my brain.
It's a shame that it's not like event television
in the way that the Marvel movies are.
I think it was initially.
Yep.
When these were starting, I couldn't watch these fast enough
and it felt like an MCU movie was being released.
But now it's just, I couldn't even,
I can't bring myself to watch them.
And the other thing is I am interested in each of the, like I want to go back and watch Punisher.
I do want to finish Jessica Jones.
I want to see if Luke Cage has improved on the last season, which I thought was a bit
flat.
Iron Fist I might skip regardless.
But yeah, I just think they should be more more people should enjoy them more right people should
enjoy them more yeah i just think it's a bit of a shame but if we're talking netflix mason which i
know you were yes uh i watched nanette oh which is uh australian comedian hannah gadsby stand-up
special did you see that before i haven't seen it live no yeah right and i was going to because
she had a reprise of it like live but then it was like and she's doing it on netflix and i'm like
well i'll just wait for that yeah but basically it's an australian comedian uh she talks about
her experience actually i won't spoil specifics of it because it's kind of the point of the show
it's it's not what you think it is and i think it's also important to watch even if you don't
necessarily agree with a lot of the stuff in this which i'm sure a lot of people don't but i think
it's 100 worth listening watching for a different perspective on things great and it is funny too yeah but i
think it's one of those things where you kind of walk away it it stays with you right um and i'm
not going to say why but i think it's just and this is on netflix worldwide netflix worldwide
yeah i i'm kind of reluctant to spoil it yeah i think it's definitely worth bloody leave it at
that it's on netflix so everybody's got Netflix.
They should.
And if not, just ask me for my account and I'll give it to you.
Nice.
Yeah.
You sprung for four accounts, did you?
I don't know.
I don't think I did, actually.
Oh, hello.
You sprung for standard definition.
Big time.
Nice.
What's next, Mason?
Letters.
Letters. Letters. We love you. Some letters. Oh's next, Mason? Letters. Letters, letters, we love you, some letters.
Hang on, that's... Wait a minute.
Copyright Planet Broadcasting.
Hey, this is Will and Charlie from the podcast Tofop
on the Planet Broadcasting Network.
Will, how would you describe our show to people who haven't heard it before?
I would say our show is much like a modern-day version of Seinfeld
in that it's a show about nothing, Charlie,
and that some of the early episodes really are a bit dodgier than you remember.
So if that sounds good to you,
you can find us on iTunes, Spotify and planetbroadcasting.com.
The classic one was letters, oh letters, we love you.
Some letters, they're only A day Away
I know they're here right now
We're going to do letters
It is letters time
Yes
If you do want to reach the show
Hashtag weeklyplanetpod on Twitter
We will find your tweet
And we'll read it out
Yes
Maybe
Yes
I mean probably
If it's a good one
Or if we just stumble across it actually
It doesn't have to be good
We just have to see it
And also Mason
Is checking out the
gmail weekly planet pod at gmail.com and there's a hundred letters in there isn't there oh yeah
there's more than a hundred okay you're gonna read any of them out today give me one minute
are you reading an email or writing i was i was texting someone all right what's on what's what's
the hot goss there's no goss all right god i thought there was hot god all right here we go
here we are i saw i saw one a good one earlier i saw the title one earlier
pretty good okay let's see and it's it's it's a recurring theme okay which i enjoy here we go
this is jh winstead got in trouble at work listening to the pod yeah enjoying these a lot
uh he's a long time listener he works midnight to 6 am. delivering newspapers here in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina.
Oh, a paper boy.
That sounds like a good job.
I would enjoy doing that.
Yeah, you love that kind of shit.
I love late night.
Yeah, you do.
Nobody bothering me.
And you could listen to a podcast or an audio book.
That's what he does.
He puts on us, or do go on, Steel Wars Filthy Casuals.
Hey, fam.
Up on Spotify.
He Bluetooths it to his car speaker.
Very good.
And he cranks it.
Nice.
So a few nights ago he pulls
into a driveway, gets out of the car
to put the paper on the porch. It's 2am
and he's away from the car
when we start screaming out, Mad Ghost!
Mad Ghost!
The next night he has a complaint
that they emailed in. It says he pulled
into my yard at 2am with his radio
blasting these guys hollering about something
and woke me up. Keep up the good work, fellas.
We will.
We hope we didn't get you in trouble again just then.
I hope we did.
I hope you hadn't learned your lesson
and it's happening again. Do you ever get
into your car and you've got headphones on and you just
leave them on? No. Yeah?
It's legal. Is it? Yes.
Me neither then. I'm fairly confident it's illegal.
What if you've got a hands-free, you're talking on the microphone to your family?
Wait, is it still wired headphones?
Yeah.
Do you have both of them in?
No, one.
I think that's still illegal.
No, it's not illegal.
I think it is.
Okay, maybe you're right.
All right, okay.
P.S., he listened to the episode of Do Go On that I was on about Mothman.
Oh, yes.
As a former stoner growing up in the middle of nowhere, I saw a lot of strange critters,
and I can say with some certainty those kids who didn't want to get out of the car to investigate the lump
were tripping balls so yep that makes sense to me yeah i've got stuff thank you jack great stuff i've
got a tweet here mason from ethan gregory i'm ready says what do you think about uh doing an
episode on rumors about comic book movies that never came true, i.e. Coulson becoming The Vision, Bieber being Robin in BVS,
Lex Luthor having a sleeve
tattoo of Metropolis.
I feel like that could still be true.
Yeah, that would be so good.
I think that would be interesting to go through kind of some
Or it's a butt tattoo.
Metro, Polis.
Left and right. Not following.
What about the middle? You forgot...
Oh, maybe it's Metro O Polis. Not following. What about the middle? You forgot... Oh, that's where the... Oh, maybe...
Okay, it's Metropolis.
Very good.
But that would be uneven.
I wouldn't like that.
You wouldn't like it?
No, it'd be...
No.
So we're just going to make it a sleeve tattoo?
Yeah, I guess.
I bet he's still got a sleeve tattoo.
Of his butt.
Yes.
And it says Metropolis.
But then there's a picture of his butt.
I gotcha.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I think that would be good.
I think maybe if there was a site
that had like a list of those
we could go through
would be great.
Do you think it counts
if it's rumours?
Should it be rumours that
maybe were never true
or rumours that were true
and then didn't pan out?
Like Josh Brolin
went in for Batman
but he didn't get it.
I think we can do a combination.
Let's do it all!
Yes, let's do it all.
We've got unlimited time.
Can we do it next week?
Who knows?
Also, people want another Versus episode,
so do that soon as well.
You know what?
You know what would be great?
If people could tweet at us
maybe a new concept for Versus.
I thought I liked it.
I liked the last one we did.
What did we do last time?
We did the what-if scenarios.
I can't think of a good one,
but it was Versus interspersed with... Oh, ultimatums?
Ultimatums. Yeah, right, okay. Yeah, cool.
Alright, we'll do one of those pretty soon.
Pretty soon, yeah. It'll be very exciting. Let's do that.
Got another one from
CHZ. I don't know how to say that.
Chiz? Chiz.
Anyway. Chiz. This is
random, and I'm not sure if it's been asked. So
random! I'm not sure if it's been asked,
but do you think the Justice League has a better
chance of stopping Thanos from
achieving his plan? Well they've got Superman
so yes, because he can do all
the things. He's stronger than all
of them combined. But he's so smug.
He's very smug. I would just love him to
see him turned into nothingness.
Do you think having the Justice League
would be an advantage?
Do you think against Thanos?
I mean, he can just belt the Hulk, you know, fairly easily.
He's impervious to magic on the most part, you know.
No, I think of the cinematic Justice League,
the only person who has a chance against him is Superman.
Yeah.
But I don't like that.
Yeah, right.
They should either all have a pretty good chance
or nobody has a chance.
I don't like the idea.
Again, it's a flaw to that movie
that they just bring in Superman and he'll fix everything.
What's the point of the rest of them?
The whole point of the Justice League
is they're all on it because they're the best at something
and even if one of them is taken out of commission,
even the most powerful one, they've all still got a at something. And even if one of them is taken out of commission, even the most powerful one,
they've all still got a fighting chance.
And the whole point of the Suicide Squad
was to be able to take down Superman.
Every single one of them.
A crocodile man.
A man with a rope.
A woman with a baseball bat.
Yeah.
The guy who's good with ropes.
And he's a rapist, probably.
Cut that out.
I think that was the implication.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't think the cinematic version
would
I'm so glad he's dead
yeah he should be dead
I'm glad his head exploded
but even if he
he wasn't
he still should be dead
because he's useless
yeah
this guy can climb anything
right
like a rock climber
like Superman
is he gonna
oh is he gonna shoot
a grappling hook at Superman
well Superman can fly
into space
and then you're all
gonna end up in space and then you're all going to end up in space,
and then you're going to die,
in good riddance, quite frankly,
for the reasons I've mentioned earlier.
Yeah, no, I don't think...
I like that...
I actually watched the finale of Justice League on YouTube
the other day, that fight with Steppenwolf,
and you look at that and Thanos.
They're night and day.
Yeah.
And again, both of us enjoyed Justice League to an extent.
We did not.
I don't enjoy it on any level.
But they're not even close.
And I don't like saying that because I like the DC characters,
but yeah, that Thanos fight is really good.
Yeah, for sure.
Should we wrap it up there?
Actually, I have one more letter.
This is from Mario Bonny from Switzerland.
Okay.
Great chocolate and cheese.
Yeah, I know, right?
So here's the question.
How different do you think Hollywood would be in the MCU as opposed to our world?
Would they still make superhero franchises, some of which succeed, most of which then stumble and fail?
Or would it be seen as boring?
Would there be a Tony Stark biopic one day?
Would Christopher Nolan make an Attack of the Chitauris movie that is good?
Like Dunkirk.
Yeah, right.
Isn't there a Tony Stark biopic in like a poster in the background of a movie?
There might be.
That's a good question.
There's a Moon Knight comic book.
There is.
In which one of Moon Knight's personas goes to Hollywood to create a Moon Knight comic book in which Moon Knight goes, in which one of Moon Knight's personas goes to Hollywood
to create a Moon Knight movie, I think.
Right, okay.
So I think it would be a weird mix.
In Watchmen, the DC series,
I don't have to explain what Watchmen is.
No, please do.
Did you read it?
I've read it.
Oh, no, Doomsday Clock.
We can't do Watchmen Watch again.
We can't do Watchmen Watch.
I'm catching up on
stuff i'm gonna watch i'm gonna read oh you know what i read i read we're not in the segment
anymore but i read the first four volumes of batman rebirth so the tom king run good it's
really good okay i just burned through it i burned through like 600 pages you wouldn't know
yeah i'm yeah all right what was i talking about oh Oh, yeah. Go on. Moon Knight, something, another thing.
What did you say?
Tony Stark biopic.
Tony Stark biopic.
I've actually found it out.
That's why I've got it right in front of me.
Okay, right.
Tony Stark is...
So it's a real thing in continuity.
It's a poster in the background of Guardians 2 at a theater.
Tony Stark is an R-rated biopic of Tony Stark starring Simon Wilson,
played by Nathan Fillion.
So Simon Wilson is Wonder Man.
Correct.
Yeah. So in the Marvel Wonder Man. Correct. Yeah.
He was supposed to be in Guardians 2.
So in the Marvel Universe, Simon Williams, Wonder Man,
is a superhero and an actor.
So I guess he does like, I think he does superhero movies
because he's got superpowers.
And he can just be like, be a flying guy.
And he's like, well, I can fly.
So yeah.
That's what I was going to say.
So in the Watchmen universe, because superheroes exist, people are so bored by them yeah that they it's pirate it's
pirate comics yeah which it's that's one of the elements that has never really flown with me
because i'm like it's got a big squid in it that does have a big squid that's true with you yeah
that's fine i love big squids yeah um but i mean this if, people do dress as superheroes in the real world,
but I still find superhero comics interesting.
Yeah.
I'd be more intrigued.
I'd be like, what are their lives like?
Do some comics about it.
Absolutely.
This is the synopsis of Tony Stark.
It's basically Steve Jobs, Danny Boyle, Steve Jobs,
the same poster, which is a good movie.
Danny Boyle's a good director, isn't he?
He's good.
At some point on Earth, a biopic based on the life of Tony Stark
was written by David Frank and directed by Ian McFadden.
It starred Simon Williams as Tony Stark alongside Mary Livanos,
I don't know who that is, Simon Becker and Dexter Mills,
who might be also comic book characters that I'm not familiar with.
Yes, correct.
Yeah, Ian McFadden is a director and he directed The Comedy Company,
The Genie from Down Under, The Wedge, Newlyweds and Cluedo.
Wait, who is this guy, sorry?
The director of this fake Tony Stark movie.
So he directed...
I think that's a coincidence.
Maybe.
They could not have gone...
You know, we'll get the director of 1980s Australian sketch...
Racist sketch comedy...
Sketch comedy show, The Comedy Company.
He did The Doctor... It's a coincidence.
What's the guy's name again?
Ian McFadden.
I think it's a coincidence.
I think there's heaps of Ian McFadden's.
Oh, I know who Ian McFadden is.
Yeah, he did the Australian TV series Prisoner.
Yeah, that's a different Ian McFadden.
One of McFadden's most memorable characters on the show,
The Comedy Company, was David Ratten-Rabbitborough. If David Attenborough, I remember. characters on the show uh what the comedy company was david ratten rabbit borough
if david attenborough i remember an impersonation of a british
yeah i remember david i don't remember any of the comedy company except for the races
what about carly mole yeah i remember okay con the fruiterer yeah that the racism i remember
the race uncle arthur i remember the racism okay Uncle Arthur. I remember the racism. Okay, cool. Carry on then.
So how do you think it would be different, the MCU Hollywood?
I think it would probably be more a glamorized version of what there is,
which is weird because it's still a hyper glamorized universe.
Yeah, right.
But it's also a universe where Star Wars exists and Pulp Fiction exists.
Yes.
And Chinese food exists.
It's all on the little tie fence.
ACDC exists.
ACDC exists.
So I don't know maybe
it wouldn't be the bush kangaroo exists yeah maybe it wouldn't be that different why would
you don't need to check out skippy the bush kangaroo it's on his list why anyway it's a
local reference they could have put prisoner on there they could have put the comedy company on
but they couldn't but that's the thing like it doesn't matter. Captain America's not going to watch Skippy the Bush Kangaroo.
No, absolutely not.
I've never seen it.
No.
And I'm fine.
I've never been beat up for it.
Correct.
So that's good.
You've been threatened with violence for it.
Yeah, it's not required viewing.
Yeah.
If anything, watch the one where the dingo eats the baby or whatever.
Watch that movie.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, man, what a world.
Got anything else?
That's about it i think yeah yeah uh
i don't know i kind of feel like it'll be you know how in like 30 rock yeah it's a funny sitcom
but the show within a show is clearly really bad yeah i kind of feel like all the movies in the
marvel universe would be like that yeah like they'd look like they could be, yeah. You know how in Ragnarok there's a really cheap theater performance of the Adventures of Thor?
I feel like MCU Hollywood would have really cheap and often libelous versions of the...
They'd be like, here's the movie about the Chitauri invasion.
Yeah, right.
And it'd be like a really sleazy version of tony stark and like a really like all their
most stereotypical aspects i think it'd be like i think it'd be like the movies we see but more
one-dimensional okay sure yeah okay so yeah it's that fake movie within within a movie nonsense
yes kind of thing okay i get you you get it the other movies that uh simon williams have done in
this universe is tony stark he did archon haxon 2
oh rebecca dead before arrival and toxic janitor 2 love it so i assume is a nod to the toxic
yeah yeah whatever whatever that is well that makes sense because james gunn yeah that's so
good i like that a lot all right before we wrap up the show mason i just want to uh we're thinking
of doing a separate um we've talked about this an an ad-free feed, but not in addition to that.
Also, we're not sure how they're running the ads at the start and the end of the show,
how we feel about that just as of yet.
We're going to see how much money we get at the end of the month.
And if it's a million dollars.
They're here forever, baby.
No, we'll just stop making this.
Oh, okay.
That's a really good point, actually, because then we could just split a million dollars.
Yeah.
But regardless.
We're hoping that we get enough to cover the server costs and the hosting costs and stuff like that.
Yeah, exactly.
And because we also pay for the hosting on, I think, all of the other Planet Broadcasting...
Yeah, so if it covers that, that would be great.
But basically, that...
So we're thinking of doing an ad-free fee, but also we're thinking of doing like a bonus thing...
Yeah.
For people also who might want to also chip in for for a bit every month kind of like
patreon we don't know whether they're going to do a patreon or build a separate platform or whatever
but if we would do that what do people want we're thinking of maybe doing an extended mailbag
yeah we clear out that mailbag every week or every month yeah or it could be i don't know it's up to
you what do you what would it could be a different thing every week like we were talking about and i
said maybe we could just talk about a different movie that's unrelated to we could
answer to be like i will talk about shawshank this week we could uh we could do uh every you
know one one week we could do a quiz and we could figure out determine which sex in the city
character we are exactly yeah so maybe we could even be i'm charlotte obviously obviously yeah
because you're boring but i think i'm also a from yes from uh entourage yeah you i know you're you're donatello you're all the boring ones all
right thank you but uh yeah and it maybe it could be a different thing every week where take the
marvel quiz or whatever and you know we just do the thing that we think would be fun that week but
if you've got suggestions uh and if you'd be keen on that just a little bit of of bonus content all this would stay the same none of this would change but yeah if you're interested
that's the show though mason take us home all right if you want a country road to the place
west virginia mountain mama take me home country roads yeah podcast kingsman too uh not a good Mountain Mama, Take Me Home, Country Roads. Yeah. Kingsman 2.
