No, please don't.
This is our best and worst and everything else of the year.
You know what?
Do chase some waterfalls.
Okay.
They're nice.
Have you seen one?
What do you mean chasing waterfalls?
Just find them.
Go and find them.
Is that what it means?
Yeah.
But why are they saying not to?
Like they're a myth?
I think they gave you a disease in the video clip.
I don't think that's what...
They don't understand waterfalls.
No, not at all.
Because I can understand if they were like,
don't go chasing unicorns because they're fictional.
Yeah.
If they were real, maybe they'd murder you.
Yes.
But waterfalls?
No.
Seems like something you should visit and chase.
Probably a trench foot.
I'm with you, Mason.
Or some sort of swimming bacteria, you know?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I get you.
Maybe that fish that when you pee in the water, it goes up your urethra. Up your urethra. That's a good one, isn't it? Spikes come out. foot i'm with you or some sort of swimming bacteria you know oh yeah yeah i gotcha maybe
that maybe that fish that when you pee in the water it goes up your urethra that's a good one

I understand.
Sure.
You get it, yeah.
Also, special shout out to Charlotte on the Planet Broadcasting Great Mates group.
Okay.
Who's been making a Weekly Planet Advent Calendar
every day throughout the Christmas season.
How have I not seen that? It's great.
It's a little Advent Calendar every week. We open up another
little door and we see a fun little
treat from the
Weekly Planet podcast. I've not seen any of that at all.
I'm going to have to look that up. Good on
Charlotte. Well, Mason, should we get on to the
very limited news from this week? Is there
very limited news? Yeah, because people are all the way, mate.
That's true.
Did you have a good Chrissy?
It was pretty good.
Good.
Yeah, so did I.
Nice.
Mason, Jordan.
Thank you, by the way.
You bought me for Christmas.
Heart in the head.
Dark Knight 3, the Master Race.
The insane Frank Miller Batman series that I mentioned last week.
Because you said it was too expensive to buy for $45.
But I said, I bet I can get it for $4 cheaper online,
but maybe a little bit more with shipping.
Oh, yes.
And I got it anyway.
Nice.
Nice.
You did get the hardcover, though.
The version I saw was a softcover.
You didn't want the hardcover?
No, I did want that.
Okay, because I prefer the hardcover.
That's why I got the hardcover.
I'll be actually very interested to see what you think.
Because I don't think it's that bad.
Should I read it while you're doing the episode?
please
here we go
that's why I bought it
to my beautiful wife, Mrs. Frank Miller
wait a minute
sorry, go ahead
Jordan Peele's next film, Us
it's a new trailer
there's about a family who gets copied by another family
but that family is evil.
And maybe the kid is not their real kid.
It's the evil kid or whatever.
Is that the plot of this?
I don't know.
Evil family attacks regular family.
Have we already seen too much of this movie?
I don't know.
Because I didn't know anything about Get Out before I watched Get Out,
and I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Yeah.
But I don't know.
This is mysteries upon mysteries.
First of all, it's Winston Duke and Lupita Nyong'o from Black Panther, which is fun.
Winston Duke should be the king of Wakanda.
I mean, I like the guy who plays Black Panther, but I really like that character.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
He didn't go in the snap, did he?
No, he's still around.
Yeah, because apparently Shuri's gone.
So he might be leading might be King Wakanda yeah
yeah nice
great
so it's a family
being accosted by
themselves
yeah
why is that happening?
well
I'm excited to find out
this is how to do a trailer
yeah
because I have no idea
what's happening
are they
are they magic
are they from a parallel universe
is it some sort of
plastic surgery situation
did you ever see that movie
with one of the Duplass brothers
and the woman from The Handmaid's Tale?
We've mentioned it repeatedly.
Both those people have names.
You mentioned it one time
and what we read and what we're going to read
and then like three weeks later
I mention it again.
I'm like, have you heard about this?
So just to be clear...
So we don't know the name of it?
Is that why we...
It's called The One I Love.
That's right.
Yeah, so we've both mentioned it.
Because that's about copies of people, isn't it?
Yeah, right, yeah. But I don't think this is a clone thing i think this is like a supernatural
thing yeah right what do you think but then again you don't think that without i don't want to
spoil it even though it's been out for ages you don't think get out is going to be a take a weird
sci-fi twist that's true yeah it does yeah when you find out what's up, it's like, whoa, this? Okay. I didn't think it was this kind of movie.
I don't know.
I got the impression maybe they were from a parallel universe.
Okay.
Maybe.
Like Spock with a beard or whatever.
Yeah, Spock with a beard.
But I was thinking maybe like a parallel universe where slavery didn't end or something.
I don't know.
But I mean, how would they end up exactly the same though?
Who knows?
Yeah, fair enough. And again, we don't end or something. I don't know. But I mean, how would they end up exactly the same though? Who knows? Yeah, fair enough.
And again, we don't necessarily know this.
I mean, Get Out had a lot of themes about racism.
We don't know if that's going to happen in this one
or if it's just going to be a straight up horror movie.
I remember you saying distinctly that you don't like politics
or themes in your movies though.
I didn't say that at all.
So keep them out of my entertainment.
That's right.
Keep them out of my comic books.
Keep them out of my cereal.
Yeah.
That sounds like not a terrible explanation.
Thank you.
I think this is going to be an interesting...
Well, the second one's always hard, right?
Also, what's the deal with the golden scissors?
Good question.
Because Jordan Peele delivered a whole bunch of...
He delivered some ominous boxes to various celebrities.
I think Patton Oswalt got...
Oh, really?
Yeah. And they opened the box and everybody got a set of golden shears so is this a cult thing maybe it's like it might be a cult thing yeah but the the the little girl did the the the evil
version of the little girl has a is covered has a mask on and then when she takes the mask off
she's hideously deformed yeah what's going on there i don't know what's going on but we will
find out when we watch this movie when it comes out at some point in 2019 yep i don't know when yeah i think
the second film is hard right sure i mean any film is hard yeah but it's like that follow-up album
where you kind of yeah or follow-up stand-up routine you get all your ideas down the first
one and then you're like oh well for sure but and and you know jordan peele did your ideas out in the first one and then you're like, oh my goodness. Well, for sure. And, you know, Jordan Peele did knock it
out of the park with that first.
Like, I don't know anybody
who saw it and went,
nah, not for me.
No, because you said
keep politics out of your films.
That's exactly what I said.
Okay, just me.
But like,
that movie,
even though, you know,
we are white middle-class dudes
from Australia,
there's moments in that
where I'm like,
this is horrifying.
Just the very idea of it.
And I can't imagine you know
being a black person in america watching this and being like i can't imagine anybody who doesn't
look like me mason oh that's the way you can't that's why you can't enjoy i don't i don't watch
or enjoy anything i just have a mirror that's what i watch it's just a mirror yeah uh-huh
how's you enjoying that no it's a bad show. It's very sad.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Sometimes the guy in the show wants a fresh new look,
he shaves his beard off.
But he's never happy.
No.
Yeah.
I hope there's some fan out of that.
Yeah.
Next up we have some Marvel news.
Marvel are apparently developing the Fox characters next year.
Kevin Feige has said, no, not yet,
but we've been told it's looking very good
and could happen in the first six months of next year.
In terms of actually thinking about and planning things out,
we haven't started yet.
Okay, so that means X-Men back on the table of a sort?
We just have to get through Dark Phoenix.
Dark Phoenix, if that is ever released.
And School of Ghosts.
Ghost School, yeah.
X-Men Ghost School.
Yeah, I mean, that's just a bit of an update.
Nobody's particularly surprised by that, I'd imagine.
Do you think they'll keep politics out of their movies like we both want?
I'm on board.
You're on board with this?
Okay, yeah.
With my political agenda or my non-political agenda.
Yes.
Yeah, Dark Phoenix. Why make another one? Oh, with this? Okay, yeah. With my political agenda or my non-political agenda. Yes. Yeah.
Yeah, Dark Fiend.
It's just going to... Why make another one?
Because they've made it and they...
Money.
Why did they put out Deadpool twice?
You know?
I guess so.
They even acknowledged that in the film.
Let's see in the trailer when Fred Savage is asking questions like why the re-release
is like money.
Yeah.
Why he goes Disney and money.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
So, anything else on that?
No. Let's move it along. Yeah, right. So anything else on that? No.
Let's move it along.
Okay then, great.
Jude Law.
Maybe spoilers for Captain Marvel.
I'll put the time code in the bottom.
We've talked about it before though.
Jude Law, we've mentioned before,
has been outed as Yon-Rogg.
Evil Captain Marvel's not friend.
Yeah, and he's been outed, as usual, by merchandise.
Funko Pops.
Because the Funko Pops said that he was Yon-Rogg.
Yes.
On an official Marvel website, though,
apparently he is also listed as Mar-Val.
Yeah, I think that's a fake out.
But that has also since been removed.
Also, I think I said this in a video,
it's a very real possibility that he's both.
Yeah, and the young Pope.
Yes.
They've just mashed them all together.
Oh, did you see that thing that,
I think it was the New York Times, or maybe, no, maybe it wasn't them. They've just mashed them all together. Oh, did you see that thing that, I think it was the New York Times.
No, maybe it wasn't them.
They declared.
Here we go.
It's the year of the daddy.
That was the 2018.
Yeah.
So it's like, because it's like Jude Law, like sexy dads are like.
Oh, okay.
Right. Yeah.
It's just, and everyone's like, you ruined this gross thing.
Yeah.
New York Times.
Dads are getting a lot of play recently like my dad god was a thing
yeah jeff goldblum wait the rock yeah he's a dad he's always on instagram being like look at my
kids fucking look at him you've seen his instagram and then it pans out he's doing like one-armed
chin-ups yeah on a beach or something yeah yeah just wrapped in chains on a helicopter
yeah i always hated that, though.
You know when people are calling other people daddy?
I just find it really creepy.
It's never...
It's not for you?
Well, I get it occasionally, very occasionally, and I do not like it.
I understand.
But now I'm probably going to get it a lot more.
You're going to get it every day.
Yeah.
Anyway, what am I talking about?
You were talking about Jude Law.
Yeah. Uh-huh. So he... What do you think? You were talking about Jude Law. Yeah.
Uh-huh.
So he, what do you think?
Is he Marvel?
Is he both?
Exactly.
You can't rule out, again, because, you know,
the origin was an explosion, an energy explosion of some sort.
You can't even rule out that maybe they fused together.
Yeah.
Maybe Marvel and his greatest enemy fused together,
and now the, oh, we thought Yon-Rogg was dead,
but actually he's fused into Mar-Vell, and he's evil now.
Maybe they put the powers of Captain Mar-Vell into Brie Larson.
So that's how, is that what you meant?
Or you meant they're in Jude Law?
No, I meant maybe Yon-Rogg and Mar-Vell,
Jude Law and Mar-Vell have combined together, yeah.
Yeah, I get you.
Like that Superman that's half Superman, half Batman.
Yep, the composite Superman.
I love it. Why is it called composite Superman that's half Superman, half Batman. Yep. The composite Superman. I love it.
Why is it called composite Superman and not composite Superman and Batman?
Maybe he is.
Hang on, let me think.
You can't.
You can't think about it.
No, I think he is.
You have to do the show, Mason.
But he doesn't just have Superman's powers.
Oh, he's got a few of them.
He has the powers of the entire Legion of Superheroes?
Why is he only half and half?
I don't know.
Why is he green also?
Yeah, it's composite Superman and, yeah, it's just the two of them.
He is green.
Yeah, he's green.
This is all good stuff.
Yeah, I remember I saw a cover of that when I was a kid
in some sort of best of DC comics hardcover thing
and I'm like, that is fascinating.
And then I read some stories involving the character.
I'm like, this is garbage.
I hate this. involving the character. I'm like, this is garbage. I hate this.
Yes, bad.
He was later referred to, there was a Superman, Batman series,
maybe in like the early 2000s and a kid genius,
the kid genius version of Toy Man builds a gigantic composite Superman,
Batman-like robot, spaceship thing.
Okay.
It's a fun series, that one.
It's a fun series, probably,'s a fun series probably according to you
yeah
no politics right
no politics
not at all
not at all
this is my favourite
part of the week
bit of Star Wars
news Mason
why is it your
favourite part of the
because I enjoy
that you don't enjoy it
okay
that's why
and that overcomes
the fact that you
really don't enjoy it
either
I'm okay with it
I don't think anybody
enjoys Star Wars news
anymore
people are sick of Star Wars people are sick people wish star wars would go
away it's never gonna go it never will what do you just saturates every cell in our body it really
does you know you watch one of those movies and like the the character he's got too much energy
in his cells and he's gonna explode that's us in star wars that's true and as you know i'm working
on a a bigger project your magnum opus that It's just, it's so Star Wars heavy.
It's the most Star Wars thing anybody's ever made.
It's you screaming the titles of every Star Wars property.
Into a mirror.
Here's all the books.
Here we go.
End of the Empire.
Dark Force Rising.
The Last Command.
That would be good, right?
Could you do that at the end?
I love that.
I know that's not actually what it is.
They might be.
Did you remember those?
Yeah, that's what they're called. That's really impressive.
This is why I love Star Wars news, Mason.
It brings out the best in you.
Yeah, it really does.
So, IG-88. Oh, man, what if it was just... That is what it was. Just you. yeah it really does so IGAD
oh man what if it was just
that is what it was
just you
you've big it up for months
about how it's your most
it's your most expensive
research project ever
it's just gonna blow
everybody else's
Star Wars essays
out of the water
and then it's just you
in this room
against a blank wall
just screaming titles
and maybe it comes up
in like Comic Sans under you.
Every title.
As you scream them out.
I'd watch that.
That'd be a long video.
I need a teleprompter.
Because I wouldn't want to cut.
I just want to do it.
No, you look down at your laptop.
Okay, right.
So no effort.
Yeah.
And somebody would complain.
Well, I mean, somebody would complain Well I mean everybody would complain
Obviously
Or so I feel but in portrait
Yeah
Oh it's
You record it on your iPhone
And occasionally you set the iPhone down on the desk
So you can move your laptop or whatever
Scroll down
And so sometimes it's just a picture of the roof
Okay Anyway laptop or whatever scroll down and so sometimes it's just a picture of the roof okay anyway
john favreau has posted a picture of ig88 for the mandalorian oh yeah it looks like it's going
to be bounty hunter heavy and also i guess some versions of ig88 survived through the trilogy
as you know there's that ig88 book he also turns up in uh you know the tales of the bounty hunters
but there's multiple versions of him book. He also turns up in, you know, the Tales of the Bounty Hunters. Yeah, right.
But there's multiple versions of him.
I think the last version in the books was in the Death Star.
When it was in the second Death Star.
Yes, uploaded itself to the Death Star.
Right.
But that was, that's obviously different.
Yep.
And non-canon now, probably.
And non-canon now.
But who knows what they're going to draw from to make new canon now. I don't think they're going to have him in the Death Star. No death star no right also it doesn't matter if he's in the death star that's true i mean it's
still gone isn't it yeah in the old canon he was and it didn't matter so okay right yeah was so
this was in the second death star yes so there was never any ig88 in the first death star no he
wasn't okay or if no i don't think he was around okay right, right. Gotcha. Yeah, there's like A, B, C, and D. I can't remember.
And he also makes a fleet of storm...
He makes a squadron of stormtroopers,
robot stormtroopers.
Okay.
People try the Empire.
It's interesting.
And he's got a thermos for a head.
So that's interesting too.
Yeah, he really does.
What do you think about...
Do you think we're going to get Bosk?
He was mentioned in Solo.
Do you think we're going to get Zuckuss and 4LOM?
Do you think we're going to get Dengar? I hope we get Dengar. These are all classic. Dengar's got the bandage on his head and 4LOM? Do you think we want to get Dengar?
I hope we get Dengar.
Dengar's got the bandages on his head, right?
He does, yeah.
I hope we get Dengar.
What's under those bandages?
Scars.
But what else is under there?
Probably some poo.
It's toilet paper.
Oh, is he right?
Okay, he fell in the toilet.
That's his origin story.
He fell in the toilet.
Well, actually, his origin story is he was injured by Han Solo in a swoop bike race or something oh that's right yeah i think that might
even be the new canon as well anyway he hates han solo as does everybody yeah i was gonna say
all their origins is that that han solo did none of them would be bounty hunters if han solo didn't
steal their vests steal their vests or ruin their faces
or steal their girlfriends
or whatever in his youth
if he wasn't such a bad person
there wouldn't be all the people
trying to kill him
so
the old version of Greedo
he stole his vest
the new version
he stole his girlfriend
oh I see right
we've talked about it on this show
anyway I'm glad to see it
anyway I'd like to see IG-88
I love IG-88
I find it a really fascinating broom
how much IG-88 did we get in the original trilogy?
Just standing around.
Like five seconds.
That's what I thought, right?
So we don't really even know.
Are they going to build an animatronic version or a CGI one?
I think it's animatronic.
Also, I bet in that movie they had to prop him up with a box or something
because he couldn't free stand.
Yeah, exactly.
They just threw it in the background and it went on to become this legend of cinema.
Absolutely.
Okay.
You want some Hellboy news?
Did you know it's short for Instagram 88?
Is that true?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm going to check if Instagram...
Let's see if there's an IG-88 on Instagram.
There is, but I wonder if anybody's doing anything with it.
Okay, right.
Let's have a look.
It better just be pictures of IG-88.
If there's anything else, I'm going to be furious.
I mean, you're going to be furious regardless.
Oh, this is absolute bullshit.
Is it at IG-88?
Yes.
Okay, so there's a book
by BF Goodrich
called First in Rubber.
And the only other picture of note
from these seven pictures
is a gecko smoking a cigarette butt.
And it looks like it's in real life.
Okay then, terrific.
So if everybody could go to
at IG88 on Instagram.
And do what?
And just say,
where are the pictures of IG88?
Okay.
Is that fair?
Yes.
Hasn't been taken.
I'm there, I'm looking at it.
No, but what hasn't been taken apparently
is Instagram 88.
That's yours then.
Okay, I don't want to take it.
Somebody take it quick. Somebody sign up for Instagram 88. That's yours then. Okay, I don't want to take it. Somebody take it quick.
Somebody sign up for Instagram 88.
And then it must be exclusively
IG88 related photos.
That's all we want. Alright.
Dog's drinking. It's been a hot
couple of days, Mason. Agreed.
This is David Harbour
talking about the new Hellboy.
There's really a sense that he's actually killing things
even if they're giants or monsters,
chopping off heads, bathing in blood.
And you're feeling the complex feelings
of actually cutting the heart out of another thing.
We're taking the time to deal with the fact
that Hellboy is a killer.
He is a weapon.
So that sounds interesting.
That's a slightly different take on the Ron Perlman one.
The Ron Perlman one is just like a...
He's just a reluctant employee
you'd rather not be there yeah he stopped sending me out on missions i just want to hang out with
cats yeah and eat bad food so yeah exactly all right and do and do curls yeah do curls exactly
yeah uh yeah i'm still not sold on this at all but at least it's different i guess and
comic accurate is a good way to go, I guess.
I agree, yeah.
Anything else, Mason?
I think that's about it, really.
One more bit of news.
Okay, I'm ready.
Birdbox is apparently the biggest Netflix first week ever.
Oh, I have some Netflix news as well that I remember, but go ahead.
Okay.
With 45 million accounts watching it, that being said, people are skeptical because we don't know what that takes into account is that automatic plays how long is a view like
how long does that count are you watching it for two minutes and then leaving again because
a view on youtube is if you just click on it he's skipping to the end that's right uh also
these international numbers etc that being said it seems to have done very well and everybody
has seen it including me there you go it all right. I haven't seen it.
Yeah.
Anyway, you had some Netflix news though.
My Netflix news was apparently Holmes and Watson.
Oh, it's terrible?
Well, it is apparently profoundly terrible.
No.
But apparently it was offered to Netflix and they turned it down.
Whoa.
Yeah.
They take everything.
They take everything, right?
Yeah.
Apparently this was on the Planet Broadcasting Great Mates group,
which is all 100% accurate.
So, you know, do not take it with a grain of salt.
It's got that advent calendar.
Take it with a whole handful of salt.
Yeah.
Apparently, the test numbers were so bad that Sony were like,
well, let's offload.
Is it Sony?
It's probably Sony.
I don't know.
Yeah, we're like, let's offload this to Netflix.
And Netflix were like, no.
We only make complex
interconnected black mirror exactly and the ranch and the ranch yes speaking of black mirror though
uh there was a new episode this week where actually there's a video on my channel coming
up where we talk about a review of sorts and how it's and the future of it and how it's got how it
all worked and different narratives and etc spoiler alert i liked it a lot you didn't like it as much
yep and we don't think there's a future for this sort of thing.
Oh, I hope there isn't anyway.
I mean, we're going to get a lot of it.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
Yeah, but there's a video on that with pictures
that you people can check out this week.
I'm a big fan.
Also, if people want to carve out a garbage comic episode,
there is one this week on Aquaman.
Oh, yeah, we did that one.
Eric's done the animation.
Ben's working on the edit.
So that's, it's a good one. Oh, yeah. We did that one. Eric's done the animation. Ben's working on the edit. So that's...
It's a good one.
Oh, yeah?
It's a good one.
And also,
the extended audio
is much longer
because I took quite a bit
out of it.
Because we just love
to wrap it on, don't we?
To differentiate the two more.
Because I feel like
sometimes there's not enough.
Like, I don't...
Because I know
some people don't,
you know,
listen to both.
Some people do and don't.
And you must listen to both.
You don't have to listen to both,
but I'm saying that they're more different than you'll ever know.
Like a black mirror episode that you have to choose.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Uh,
that's all the news.
That's the episode.
Good night,
everybody.
Get and happy new year.
That's for people who started listening to this.
Yes.
Uh,
pre midnight.
Yep. And then it, then it crossed Yes. Pre-midnight. Yep.
And then it crossed over to New Year's Day.
Ah, very good.
So, Happy New Year.
And on with the episode, I guess?
Yes, yep.
Wow, that's good.
You account for everybody.
I'm covering all the angles.
What about the people who listened to this over, say, their birthday?
Look, we didn't get you anything.
You get a copy of The Dark Knight Rises Returns 3.
You can send that out.
Look, you're not going to read it, Mason, so you may as well.
That's true.
Yeah, I'll send it out to you.
You like Batman, right?
Okay, cool.
Yeah, cool.
You can listen to this.
You like Batman.
Happy birthday.

This is actually our best and worst of the year stuff.
Now, we don't just do it best and worst necessarily, though.
We do also do that.
We ask questions.
We pose questions.
We debate.
We debate.
We contrast.
Yes.
We're contrary. We do lots of things related to... We agree on most stuff. We mostly questions. We debate. We debate. We contrast. Yes. We're contrary.
We do lots of things related to-
We agree on most stuff.
We mostly do.
But sometimes we talk about it.
Yes, that's right.
Sometimes we agree on things.
Sometimes we slightly disagree.
I think it's very rarely, though, that we're polar opposite on a thing.
Well, we'll find out, won't we?
You know what Jurassic Park we are.
Yeah, that's true.
Because you've got a madman's opinion on that.
Yeah, that's right.
Okay.
So, list of topics.
We're also...
Raw Collings was kind enough to put together a poll, which I put out a couple hours ago.
I should have probably put it out earlier.
Nah.
But I didn't.
We don't want any schlubs in this instance.
That's true.
We want first adopters, you know?
We want grubs.
Yeah, we want grubs. Yeah, we want grubs.
So we've got all people's opinions on these as well,
which I might save it till the end so that we can collect more votes.
Great.
Currently it's at 1,527.
That's not bad.
That's not a bad.
Also, I'll put the results down below, I guess,
if people want to click on that and check them out.
People love clicking on things that and check them out. What people thought.
People love clicking on things.
And checking things out.
So I thought we could do...
I was thinking about doing this as we do it.
But then I thought, more votes and then we'll do it at the end.
What do you think of that, mate?
I love it.
Great.
I love it.
Do you want to start with...
Now, my order is also different than the order of that.
Does that bother you?
Yes.
Good.
Best animated film. Okay. It was a good year for animation. Yes, it was. Does that bother you? Yes. Good. Best Animated Film.
Okay.
It was a good year for animation.
Yes, it was.
We had things like Incredibles 2.
Apparently Teen Titans was really good.
Did it come out here?
I don't know.
I don't think it got a theatrical release, certainly.
Is that the Judas contract?
I don't know.
Okay, then.
Wreck-It Ralph 2.
It hasn't...
It isn't out here yet, I don't think.
That's true.
The Grunch.
Isle of Dogs was this year.
Yeah, that's right.
Which I liked.
Sherlock Gnomes 2. Sherlock Gnomes. Out of the Sh Isle of Dogs was this year. Yeah, that's right. Which I liked. Sherlock Gnomes too.
Sherlock Gnomes.
Out of the Shadows or whatever it was called.
And Into the Spider-Verse.
It's obviously Into the Spider-Verse.
It's absolutely Into the Spider-Verse.
Is there anything else here that you saw of?
No.
I quite liked Isle of Dogs.
Isle of Dogs.
I liked Isle of Dogs, yeah.
It's okay, wasn't it?
It was good.
Yeah.
Yeah, look, I think just in terms of just a fun ride
and getting the superheroing right,
and it's a movie that requires half a dozen origin stories.
It didn't feel bogged down.
Yes.
The animation, just in terms of animation.
Yeah.
Primo.
Just integrating a whole bunch of animation styles.
I saw an article this week on,
or maybe somebody tweeted it at me a few days ago.
I can't remember.
Thank you if you're that person.
But you know how there was that weird 3D effect?
Yes.
Apparently that was intentional,
like it's how you have a printing error in a comic.
Oh, I see.
Yeah.
I mean, I still didn't like it.
Sure, yeah.
But I understand it.
Okay, right, right, right.
Yeah.
Look, and I think the most...
That being said, this movie was amazing. Yeah, and I think the most... That being said, this movie was amazing.
Yeah, and I think the most telling thing about this movie is every time I've spoken to somebody about it,
I've been like, have you seen a movie recently?
They're like, I saw Into the Spider-Verse,
and I want to see it again.
Yeah.
Like, straight up, they're like,
I'm going to see that again just to drink in more of the...
Yes.
Just the style of it.
Also, I feel like for a lot of comic book movies,
people are like, should I see this? I'm like, yeah, probably not of comic book movies people are like should I see people are like
should I see this
I'm like yeah probably not
like if people are like
have you seen
should I see Infinity War
and I'm like
well have you seen
18 other movies
yeah
because if not
like
or I'll be like
okay so
watch the first Iron Man
then watch the Avengers
then you can probably watch this
but for this
you could be like
yeah no anybody can see this
for sure yeah
yeah right
the other thing is
even if you've never seen
a Spider-Man before definitely not like the origin of spider-man is in there pretty much so that
obviously helps because you get more out of it yeah right you know stuff about it but i don't
think it ultimately matters i also saw that they apparently the creators behind this the trick
behind this was you can do things in an animated film that you can't do in live action and so that's
what makes an animated film or this one in particular interesting because if you're just
doing like standard stuff you could just like the grinch like the grinch like a movie that's
already existed yes but like you know like isle of dogs is a good example of that because it looks
different and then yes it does yeah different with it but you know i i feel like i haven't
seen wreck-it-relf 2 but you, you could probably just have someone stumble into Snapchat or whatever that means.
I haven't seen it.
Apparently it's good.
But I don't really want to say it because I hate the trailers.
It's just someone going like...
It feels like someone...
It feels like the script was written by somebody five to ten years ago.
Asking their kids about the internet.
About the internet, exactly.
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah
it doesn't feel
it doesn't
and yeah
it feels like somebody
it doesn't feel like
the intended audience
are people who are mad
for the internet
who are just
memeing all day
it feels like people
who are like
oh the internet
yeah I check my email
yeah
yeah I go on ebay
I buy a thing
I buy some
some crockery
on ebay
from time to time
exactly
which I think was also
the emoji movies target as well.
Yeah, right, uh-huh.
That was good, wasn't it?
What are the other options there?
Did you see The Grinch?
No, I would never.
I don't like The Grinch in general.
Do you like the song?
Yeah, that one, yeah.
No, I don't like him.
I need one, Mr. Grinch.
That's a good song.
I don't like the Ron Howard movie.
Okay.
I know that's sacrilegious. I don I know that's sacrilegious
I don't think it's sacrilegious
A lot of people like that movie
Also why are people talking about Jingle All The Way now
It's a classic
That movie is fucking terrible
What are you talking about
It's a fucking horrible film
It was horrible then
It's worse now
What do you think of it
I can't remember it.
I keep seeing articles pop up about it.
Yeah.
Like, remember this?
Yes.
Here's the season.
I saw it at the cinema.
It was fucking terrible.
It's horrible.
Did you think it was horrible at the time?
Yes.
Wow.
It was bad.
Is that because it was No Terminator 2?
Probably.
I think that's a big part of it.
Yeah.
Like, you go into an island movie, you think it's going to be something, but it was...
It's just him falling on his face in a toy aisle
did you see
Macaulay
only a 90s
kid
did you see
Macaulay Culkin
change his name
to Macaulay
Macaulay Culkin
Culkin
in real life
in real life
yeah
he got people
to vote on it
he's re-emerged
he's back man
he's everywhere
he was on
he was on
Red Letter Media
he was in
Cinemassacre
he was on there was a WTF with Mark Maron he was on that was on he was on red letter meters and cinemassacre he
was on there was a wtf with mark maron he was on right and he was in a he's in a google ad yeah
which is interesting what's he up to well that's the thing because i listened to the the maron
episode about him and apparently what basically happened is he did the home alone movies and he
did richie rich and he did some other stuff yeah and basically he got enough money that he never
had to work again so he just didn't which
is i admire because that's what i would have done like because i think the pressure is well you're
you're an act you're a kid actor and you've got to keep just chipping away forever or whatever
and he just went i've got enough money to do whatever i want and so i think he just moved
to paris and yeah and just kind of makes weird stuff that he likes and he's in a band and stuff
yeah so that's exclusively about pizza or whatever isn't it yeah that's right pizza makes weird stuff that he likes. And he's in a band and stuff. Yeah.
Exclusively about pizza or whatever, isn't it? Yeah, that's right.
Pizza Underground or whatever it's called.
It's a Velvet Underground band that just does covers of pizza.
It doesn't matter.
Anyway.
Yeah.
But he's back now for some reason.
Maybe he ran out of money.
I don't know.
Maybe.
Maybe he's just like, I want to do some stuff.
Yeah.
Apparently there was a Home Alone sequel.
It was discussing the commentary for one of those films
we should probably do the show i guess at some point yeah sure but where it was kevin was grown
up and then he breaks into the burglar's house and they've all got kids all right these guys
haven't reformed but they've reformed uh-huh so he's like the bad guy huh so this was a proposal
apparently yeah well it was a thought i think they should make it i agree yeah but it would
have to be grandkids for Joe Pesci and whatever.
Yeah, right on.
I guess it wouldn't really matter.
Maybe they had kids late.
Yeah.
People do that.
Anyway, Spider-Verse, congratulations.
You've won the Weekly Planet Best Animated Film by a long way.
If this movie didn't come out, it would have gone,
ah, pile of dogs, I guess.
Yeah, right.
Incredibles 2 was all right.
Incredibles 2 was all right, but it didn't break the mold.
Didn't blow the bloody doors off, Matt.
Didn't blow the doors.
It's no Michael Caine in the Italian job.
It didn't blow the bloody doors off.
But it was perfect.
I enjoyed it a lot.
I think it was competent, but it didn't change the game for animation the way Spider-Man did.
Which is not the rule for winning this.
There are no rules for winning these.
There are rules.
They're not even real prizes.
They're real prizes.
We've made trophies.
Everybody gets a copy of The Dark Knight Returns Rises Part 3.
Huh.
Every winner of this, whether they like it or not,
will go into the house where they're going.
Incredible.
Nice.
Yeah.
This one is best sequel, prequel, another movie.
Okay.
Jurassic World 2, Mary Poppins Returns,
which apparently isn't out here yet until January.
Yep.
I had a chance to go to a screening,
and I didn't because she's a demon.
Next up is Infinity War, Solo, Deadpool 2,
Halloween, Ocean's 8, The Predator,
Fantastic Beasts, Greed 2, Ant-Man,
Mission Impossible, Pacific Rim, Black Panther.
Does Black Panther count?
I guess it does.
I don't think it does count.
No?
No.
It's still in the series.
I think Infinity War counts,
but I don't think Black...
Oh, because it's...
Look, you've said
I see what you're saying
you've said another movie
so I guess that's
probably true
it's fine whatever you want
anyway which is the best one
is it Creed 2
or is it Mission Impossible 2
is it Solo
it's not Mission Impossible 2
it's Mission Impossible 6
and I think it might be
so Mission Impossible 2
is disqualified
yeah it is
okay cool
okay let me go through
this again
okay Ant-Man and the Wasp
is out
yep it's fine uh avengers infinity war really good really good um look i'd put that up there
but again if you haven't seen 15 million other movies you're right black panther was good
look bumblebee oh yeah right bumblebee i feel shouldn't be included in this because too much bad faith
I would like to think
that none of the other movies exist
okay
so let's get that one
great too
Fantastic Beasts 2
people hate that one
including me
Halloween is an interesting
choice
I like that one
yeah
I don't think it's the best
absolutely not
it's not better than Infinity War
no
it's
it's certainly serviceable
it felt Force Awakens-y.
Did it?
Yeah, like, this is good.
They just did a bunch of stuff that I've seen.
Also, you questioned that guy's mobility and motives.
I really do.
Is he running or is he not running?
Just shoot him.
We'll talk about it later.
We'll talk about it later.
Look, Ocean's 8, I wanted to like a lot.
I think when we reviewed it, I like I was I was buoyed up by
hey I really like the
the pit cleaning
Oceans 11 was great
and I loved seeing
cool celebrities
you know
having fun or whatever
but it's a movie
that had no dramatic
tension whatsoever
yep
The Predator was
really bad
yep
Solo was fine
I'm gonna say
Mission Impossible
Fallout
I'm with you man
yeah
it would either be that
or probably Infinity War who knew that the Mission Impossible Fallout. I'm with you, man. Yeah. It would either be that or probably Infinity War.
Who knew that the Mission Impossible movies would last this long
and not have diminishing returns at this point?
Not after the second one.
Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely not.
J.J. Abrams doesn't get enough credit for 3.
Like, he set this on track.
3's a good movie, too.
Yeah, I agree.
Also, he should get more credit for the Star Wars films
because he gave everybody The Last Jedi eventually.
And people love that movie.
They sure do.
He opened up the mystery box.
He really did, yeah.
That's what we got.
That's so true.
Everybody should thank him.
Get on Twitter and thank him.
Next up, we've got Best Reboot.
Okay, Bumblebee.
Yep.
Yeah, I guess.
Yep.
Okay, so Death Wish, haven't seen it.
Who cares? Robin Hood. Okay. So Death Wish. Haven't seen it. Who cares?
Robin Hood.
Oh, that's immediately disqualified.
I don't think Robin Hood counts.
It's a reboot.
No, I didn't.
I didn't think.
A retelling?
It's a retelling.
Yeah.
I think it's up there.
Yeah, it's good.
Like I enjoyed it, but.
Tomb Raider.
I mean, it's certainly better than the previous two
It is
Venom
Bad movie
Venom?
Yeah
And what was the one you said? Bumblebee
Yeah I guess it's Bumblebee
It's Bumblebee for sure
If it is a reboot
Which it sort of is
Also I read an interview with one of the writers of it
I can't remember her name
But they were like is this a reboot?
And she's like I can't say
So she's contractually prevented from saying?
Yeah, she's like, I'm going to leave it to Paramount to kind of explain it.
Yeah, right, okay.
I think it is.
I think it's a...
It fucking better be.
Yeah.
I think it's a reboot in the sense of how they do it with the X-Men universe,
where they're like, we'll change enough so people...
Because I'm sure...
Look, again, there's been five other ones,
and people vaguely
remember all of them yes you know what who was the villain in in the three nobody really remembers
so i think it's a case of give people the the elements that they remember bumblebee talks with
the radio and he's a he's a vox he's yellow he's volkswagen he's a brave little soldier
an optimus prime and it's the 80s.
And then they'll quietly shovel the rest of them into a pit.
I keep watching that clip on YouTube of the fight with Blitzwing.
Yeah.
I think it's so good.
It's amazing.
It's really good.
Because it should just be that.
Yeah.
Why isn't it that?
You could have not gone and watched it for free.
I really could have.
I liked it.
I thought it was good.
But, like, that and the Cybertron stuff?
Yeah.
Amazing.
I mean, doing a fully Cybertron movie?
Yep.
Like, that's a $250 million movie.
For sure, yeah, yeah. But do it.
Yeah.
Because I don't want to watch...
Death Wish is a fascinating addition onto this list.
Well, we talked about it.
There's two videos on my channel of the biggest box office bombs
and hits of the year.
Which was this?
I can't remember, basically.
Mark, cannot be.
Actually, I don't even know
whether it came up.
Can't be a hit, surely.
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
Well, look,
who doesn't want to watch
Bruce Willis sleepwalking
through another movie
where he's an indestructible tough guy?
He doesn't.
He doesn't want to watch it at all?
No, that's true.
So I guess, look,
Tomb Raider.
I think maybe if I had seen it more recently,
I probably would have maybe given it to Tomb Raider.
Because I think probably Tomb Raider and Bumblebee
are probably comparable,
except for that opening stuff in Bumblebee.
Yeah, right.
But he didn't yell open the tomb.
So it's Bumblebee, isn't it?
Yeah.
Okay.
What about this one, Mason?
Best non-sequel or reboot okay well obviously
skyscraper yes terrible film uh the meg uh not a good film no i feel a bad film which is better
the meg or skyscraper i think the skyscraper is a better film yes because it is because it
because it doesn't have a giant shark in it
the Meg's not even that big
it's not
I mean it's big
it's not even that big
but there's two Megs
you can kill it with a torpedo
oh yeah spoilers
for anything we talk about
there's two Megs
there's two Megs
also if we didn't mention
a movie that you liked
or didn't like
we did it on purpose
to annoy you
yeah we did
so
yep
so don't bother emailing in
to tell us
actually I do want to know
if you've got a fidget
I actually genuinely want to know.
Yeah, we'd actually be good to know.
That being said, we did do it on purpose.
Yeah, for sure.
Because we just want that social media outreach.
See, this is interesting because this list has a couple of movies
that I would have liked to have watched,
but they're not entirely within the purview of us
watching bad comic book superhero movies.
What are we talking about here?
We're talking about Bad Times at the El Royale.
Yep, I agree.
Which has a Hemsworth in it, so it's kind of in the loop.
Some people love it
some people are like
it looks like a
Tarantino
like an homage to Tarantino
himself an homage
to all the movies he watched
like Smoke and Aces
like Smoke and Aces
or Smoke and Aces 2
Gangster's Ball
or whatever it was called
and Black Klansman
which I would have liked to watch
Black Klansman is incredible
it's so good
I spent some time watching some other stuff this week, Searching.
Yep, I watched that one.
That's a good one.
Which I really liked.
What else?
Ready Player One was, I guess, was also a movie they made.
It's a movie that came out, isn't it?
Yeah.
Crazy Rich Asians is also.
The kind of, the rom-com is making a return, which I think is good.
There's definitely a hole in the market for it.
And the ones that they've been making, there's this one, there's like All the Boys I Loved Before on Netflix. in the market for it and the ones that they've been making
there's this one
there's like
All the Boys I Loved Before
on Netflix
there's a few other ones
that they've made
I've watched a few of them
they're quite good
like the good ones
are good anyway
it's a bit of a throwback
it's like you know
what you're getting
good things are good
are they?
good things are good
and it's weird that
they went away for so long
yeah right
but I guess
Katherine Heigl died
and they stopped
or whatever happened to her.
Yeah.
She went to jail.
For crimes against... She murdered a lot of her co-stars
and all her ranicons.
That's why you don't see
Jerry Butler anymore.
She murdered him.
Is he dead?
Yeah.
Murdered.
Or Geostorm did feel like
a movie shot in 1997.
That's true.
They just got off cuts
from all these previous movies
and they chained them together.
Did that come out this year?
No.
Okay.
Look, for me, I think it's probably a tie between Upgrade.
Oh, yeah, that's good.
And Searching.
Okay.
Man, Searching's great.
I didn't realize how good it was.
Yeah.
It's very good.
Searching, and it is, again, it's a mystery that is built entirely around somebody looking at their computer, essentially, or calling somebody on FaceTime.
There's no scenes that are not on a webcam or on a phone camera.
Because when I heard that when they were making it, I'm like, absolutely not.
There's no way anybody could pull that off.
Because I watched it literally today.
And then I told Claire, I'm like, you should watch she's and she's like no that sounds terrible she's watching it
right now she's literally watching it now i said look you just you'll like it you should watch it
uh i'm gonna say black klansman though because yeah black klansman just kind of sat with me
i just watched searching so i feel like i can't be like yeah that's fair enough yeah but it's
definitely so what's what's what's so good about black klansman should i watch it now
i'm not going to it's got adam driver and he's great he good about Black Klansman? Should I watch it now? I'm going to.
It's got Adam Driver, and he's great.
Is Topher Grace in it as well?
Yes, he is.
He's David Duke.
Oh, my goodness.
Yeah, that's right.
So he did that role.
For those people who don't know,
David Duke was head of the KKK.
Yeah.
But now he's not legally associated with them or something.
Oh, I see.
Right.
He's a legitimate politician slash businessman now.
He fucking sucks. Yeah. But. Right. He's a legitimate politician slash businessman. He fucking sucks.
Yeah.
But.
Well, that's a controversial stand to say that a former grand wizard of the KKK sucks.
I know you don't like politics in your movies, but apparently Topher Grace.
We're going to lose six members of our audience.
Topher Grace, we probably will.
Yeah.
Topher Grace read, no, he re-cut the hobbit into one film afterwards
because like i just need to do something that's not me being david dude well i was gonna i was
just gonna say like it that is a daunting role to take just to be a real life person who is terrible
is he do you feel here do you feel he's likable or like is it one of those roles where it's like
okay well he's terrible but
yeah you see humanity or something like that you know not really okay that's all right uh
but he's good everyone's good uh john david washington is a lead laura harrier who plays
uh the harrier jump jet what's her name in spider-man's friend girlfriend in the new
in the homecoming oh Liz is in it.
Yeah, right, okay.
It's just really good.
Cool.
Alec Baldwin's in it.
I don't even remember that.
But there you go.
But I also like Upgrade as well.
It's got a...
I mean, it's not political,
which is why it probably appeals to you more.
But again, the best Venom movie we got this year.
Do we have an award for...
I'm giving out the best...
The award for the best Venom movie this year
that the nominations of Venom and Upgrade and Upgrade wins.
By quite a lot.
A long margin.
But it just,
it,
for a movie with
apparently quite a low budget.
Yeah.
Imagine though
if it came out after.
People would have been like,
this is the show
that sucks or whatever.
No, I don't think they would.
But it's a good thing
it came out first.
No, because people
would have just been like,
well, this is just Venom.
Oh, and not watched it.
Yeah.
Yeah, right.
I think,
I think critically,
I think critically, people would have been like, this is the Venom movie watched it yeah yeah right uh-huh i think i think critically i think critically people would have been like this is the venom movie we should have gotten
but it's just and and the action sequences look great and they're it's innovative which i think
is what i'm looking for this year that's right yeah and i met him in real life so i feel like
i can't feel say anything bad about him because he was very nice so even if i hated it who knows
yeah that's right there's a tip for you directors of
movies just meet us i think they don't even have to have a pleasant interaction i think there's
definitely something in that though yeah for sure because i feel like you see you see a lot of people
who are hobnobbing with celebrities they're like they met the rock and they're like i don't want
to go on and say jumanji sucks or whatever because i met him and he was yeah right it was nice or
whatever so my plan is to meet as few directors and celebrities as possible so i can be as mean as i like yeah hey wait does that count as reboot
or sequel what jumanji did that come out this year come out this year never mind then yeah
what about best horror film mason okay halloween's in there yep clover hitch killer amazing movie
sort of more of a thriller cloverfield paradox when did that come out this year that was this
year okay yeah uh-huh there's some i think we we get we got into horror movies a little bit
well you know what you've just done then you put uh the cloverfield movie into the that came out
this year award yeah yep absolutely we did yeah uh yeah we yeah absolutely i think they're better
than what they used to be or people are trying harder or or being more creative because
we've also got a quiet place we've got bird box i also i also think it might be a case of beer
oh hello let's crack some brewskis um i think it might more be a the function of
the entertainment industry is like what's next superhero movies Superhero movies, we've got so many,
we're exhausting the marketplace.
Some people,
a lot of people are seeing them,
but some people aren't
and maybe we're going to get tired.
What's next?
Maybe it's horror movies
and they're bringing them up
from B-movie to the forefront now.
Also, they're cheap.
They're really cheap to make
and they make a lot of money.
That's true.
Even the bad ones.
Yeah.
One that's called Escape Room
that's coming out.
People go into Escape Room
and they're like
This is a real escape room
You have to escape this room
Oh you mean like
All the Saw movies
Yeah
But it's called Escape Room
Nice
Do you get it
I feel like
The Saw movies
Inspired escape rooms
In real life surely
No because
Have you ever been to escape rooms
I've never been to escape rooms
Look into this telescope
And get a key
Find a combination of
I hate this
Why do people like these i hate
them yeah would you do like a mission impossible escape room no because i i it's it's just looking
in boxes and opening locks if it was like running through a maze and had to kill a man with an axe
that's more of a murder though isn't it yeah it's not very mission impossible
look i'd do it look i'd do a Mission Impossible escape room
if I had to see an old lady in Basher
and steal a handbag, you know?
That'd be my kind of escape room.
It's not an escape room.
That's just you doing a robbery.
You know the thing I really want to do?
There's apparently a Star Wars VR experience
where you walk through,
but you've got all the gear
and there's like heat in the room
and you walk
and you stand on a platform
and it rumbles as it takes you up.
Like a nice warm room.
Yeah.
So,
and it's on Mustafar
where you got to retrieve this thing.
I can't remember what it's called,
but apparently it's amazing.
So I've done.
And there's actors involved?
No,
you're with a squad of stormtroopers.
Okay.
But you put the people that you go in with, but you can see them as stormtroopers. Okay. But the people that you go in with.
But you can see them as stormtroopers.
Like I've done a...
Oh, it's a VR.
Yeah, yeah.
I've done a more primitive version of it here.
For like...
You were a caveman.
Yeah, I was a caveman, yeah.
I killed an old woman with a club.
Oh, nice.
But I just really want to try it.
Okay.
Interesting, this year we got...
I don't hate escape rooms either.
They're fine.
Sorry, keep going.
You've really... Are you... It's just not not for me are you afraid of backlash from big escape room
yeah big room big coming yeah big skate big skate yeah uh interesting this year we got a quiet place
a movie about monsters which will kill you if you make too much noise and bird box about monsters
what will kill you if you if you
look at them and that
yeah
I didn't say Bird Box
that's
that's what they say
on the trial
it's just one of the situations
where they'll get us
if we look at them and that
yeah
yeah
I just wasn't compelled
to watch Bird Box
it's good
okay
yeah
it's uh
I don't know if I liked it
more than Quiet Place
I like the
I like the premise
until it gets to a certain point
where I'm like, I'm not so sold on this.
Now, spoilers for Bird Box,
because I haven't watched it,
but I don't really care to watch it.
Is the premise that if you see the thing,
it will cause you to remember
all the terrible things about your life
and then you kill yourself?
You either see the most terrible thing imaginable to you
and then you kill yourself. It's kind of like remember the happening
it's like that but not as funny right but apparently this was written before the half
the book that's written before the happening so that means he stole that he stole it did he
look i'm not saying one way or the other it sounds like you're saying that but if we met
him in real life and he was very nice we We'd say that definitely Bird Box stole all his ideas.
A couple of movies that I didn't see.
Suspiria, but I did see the original Suspiria this year.
I don't want to watch Suspiria.
You don't want to watch it?
No.
Why not?
Is it too grim and gross?
I just don't give a shit.
That's fair.
I didn't see Hereditary, which everybody loved,
but I read the synopsis because I'm like,
I'm not going to be able to get to the cinemas to see this.
And it sounds really terrifying. Yeah, love it yeah we but we must give away an award for your best horror movie i'm gonna get it's not really the clover hitch killer
but i'm gonna say that also halloween is in there as well okay yeah did you see the nun
i didn't say the nun yeah i saw posters for the nun the overlord's very good that was one of the
movies i was going
to get to but i didn't get to yeah all right oh they did slender man this year yeah apparently
unsane is quite good it's wow i've only got like i've got like eight things on this list i've just
googled it okay right um look of the two horror movies i saw this year halloween in a quiet place
i'm gonna give it to... Goosebumps 2.
A Quiet Place did have that very Michael Bay-ish ending.
Do you remember?
Yeah, it really did.
She racks that shotgun.
It's bloody attack time.
I'm going to say Clever Hitchkiller,
even though it's technically probably not a horror movie.
But I don't care.
Do you know why?
There are no rules to this?
There are no rules. You just said there were rules to this.
There's no rules or consequences, Mason.
It's not like killing an old woman in a maze.
I'm going to give it to Halloween.
I quite enjoyed it.
Okay, fair enough.
I mean, it's the Force Awakens of fucking Halloween movies, Mason.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it's better than H2O.
You know what?
I'm giving it to that solely for the scene where...
What's her name?
Jamie Lee Curtis.
No, the other one.
The daughter.
Judy Greer.
Judy Greer is like,
I can't do it.
I can't shoot.
And then Michael Myers makes an appearance.
She's like, just kidding.
And she shoots him.
But she misses.
Yeah.
He definitely gets away.
It staggers me that in movies like this,
where people seem to be aware of the tropes of the murderers.
Just shoot him 10 times.
He's so slow.
You have time to reload.
Also, your plan is bad.
Your cage house that you go room to room and lock the doors.
Also, don't...
A lot of the plan is bad, but I think the tension worked in this.
And it was good to find to see some podcasters be killed.
Because they're our rivals.
Agreed.
Also, get rid of your mannequin room.
Yeah, that was weird. What are you doing you doing next up we've got video game movies there was probably an animated resident evil movie this year because there always is rampage this year
rampage and tomb raider just the two yep uh i watched oh yeah i yeah i watched on netflix
some of assassin's creed i switched it that as well because it's not good or interesting
it's dull, it's so dull
I did the same thing
I think I watched up to
where he was in a cell
because he was a little boy and he
escaped a murder
I couldn't tell you where I watched up to because I tuned out
almost instantly because it was not
compelling, I don't know, he went into the
past a couple of times.
Yeah.
And then he met some people in the prison.
I did not get that far.
And who cares?
I reckon I got four minutes in.
Zero interest.
I couldn't tell you about any of the characters in the past or the future.
Yep.
Who cares?
I liked it.
Anyway, that movie came out last year, I think.
At least.
Not 2016, maybe.
But it's Tomb Raider, right?
Yeah, it's Tomb Raider, yeah.
Yeah.
Rampage was a big old nothing I feel
until I've seen it here
I've forgotten it existed
so
yeah
and it was bad
yeah
maybe 2019's the year
when we get a genuinely good
Mason I've fallen into that trap
before
yeah
I said maybe
you said definitely
either Assassin's Creed
or whatever the other one was
Warhammer
Warcraft either of those one of those would be great and you were burned so hard okay let me just check Definitely either Assassin's Creed or whatever the other one was. Warhammer.
Warcraft.
Either of those, one of those would be great.
And you were burned so hard. Okay, let me just check what's coming out next year just quickly.
Even though we're going to do an episode on stuff coming out next year.
All right, please let me know.
Video game movies 2019.
Altered Beast.
Oh, really?
Based on the Genesis slash Mega Drive classic.
Okay, you know what?
Pokemon Detective Pikachu
But I don't really think that counts
I don't think that counts either
Apparently there's an Assassin's Creed 2
But that's definitely not happening
Angry Birds the movie 2
Apparently the first one was alright
I can't do this
I'm excited for Altered Beast
Yeah
There's probably
James James James
Rise from your grave
Power up
There we go
Nice they're both things
from the
welcome to your doom
all from the game
not a good game
I liked it
a few years ago
I clocked it
did you really
yeah I guess
what happens at the end
turn into a different wolf
I can't remember
okay
alright
I feel you turn into
there's two wolves
no you turn into
a muscular man
and then a wolf
or a dragon
yeah
and then they rebooted
it in like on playstation 2 and it was a military experiment or something really okay yeah apparently
wasn't man i remember shooting a lot of eyeballs in that just giant floating eyeballs yeah welcome
to your doom anyway uh best streaming uh annihilation came out this year it's that
but also we've got bird box cargo the martin
freeman zombie one i guess it's also a horror movie didn't say that uh to all the boys i've
loved before i mentioned earlier moogly moogly uh ballad of buster shrugs yeah i didn't say that
but i like that i like i know that's receiving very mixed reviews from but you liked it i liked
it yeah uh no one cares mason what you think i know that's true uh streaming's getting better
or worse or both i think streaming is just becoming movies where some are good and some are No one cares, Mason, what you think. I know, that's true. Streaming's getting better.
Or worse.
Or both.
I think streaming is just becoming movies where some are good and some are not.
I agree, yeah.
Look, I think... I love when movies go to streaming.
I can just watch them at home.
I don't have to deal with some idiot in my chair.
That being said, though, I think I would...
Other than Claire.
Yes.
Claire, get out of the chair.
James is on the warpath.
He's going to ask you nicely, get out of the chair. James is on the warpath. He's going to ask you nicely to get out of the chair.
Or he's just going to stare at you while you're in the chair.
And he's going to leave and do something else.
I think I would have enjoyed and been more engaged with Annihilation
had I seen it on the big screen.
Oh, that's fair.
I think it just got a US release and then most of the rest of the world
it was on streaming.
But I think it deserved a bigger US release and then most of the rest of the world it was on. Yeah. Streaming. But I think it deserved a bigger screen.
Visually interesting.
Yeah.
Fair call.
But I also feel like it followed the Alex Garland formula
of a weird other entering into the real world.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Is that his thing now?
Ex-marketer.
I don't know.
Well, isn't this based on a book or something?
It is based on a book, yeah.
Did he steal it from M. Night Shyamalan also?
I think he definitely did, yeah.
I don't like that.
He's our best mate.
Just in terms of watching a funny little streaming thingamajig,
I really like The Ballad of Buster Scruggs,
which, I mean, I can't say it, obviously,
but with a bit of practice.
Scruggs.
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs.
I'm going to have to watch that,
but every time I go to watch it,
I'm like, I feel like I have to concentrate on this so I don't watch that But every time I go to watch it I'm like I feel like I have to Concentrate on this
So I don't watch it
Yeah
I don't know
I just like these
And I think
A lot of people go into it
Expecting it to be
Interconnected
Yeah
But it's just a bunch of
Vignettes
It's some vignettes
That could all be set
They could all be set
In the same time period
Or they could be a decade apart
Yeah
We don't know
Cool
Yeah
So it's good fun
Because wasn't it going to be A series of short films or something initially or something or a tv series or
something did we talk about it might have been i believe the coen brothers wrote many of the
stories like over the span of many years so i i don't think they knew what they they just they
just apparently just get together and write little western stories and maybe they didn't know what
they were going to do with them until netflix so i don't have to watch it i think this is a good
vehicle for that.
What do you think of Mowgli?
I thought it was really good.
Yeah.
I don't care what anybody says.
That movie is, to me, quite good, if not great.
So what are we giving the award to? I'm going to say Annihilation, but you can say a different thing.
That's true.
We can't because there's no rules.
There are some rules.
We can give out two copies of Dark Knight 3.
What if we...
Let's talk to DC.
Have we been deciding
on the same things
up to this point?
I don't know.
I don't remember.
Again, there are no rules to this.
Maybe we should.
Okay, from this point forward
we have to come to a consensus.
From this point forward...
I haven't seen
the one you said.
That's true.
And you haven't seen
the Jungle Book
or whatever,
but I didn't say that one.
Say that one.
Anyway, I'm going to say Annihilation.
You're saying a different thing.
Okay, cool, nice.
But now we have to decide.
Best TV show.
I've got four here, but you might have more.
Westworld, Better Call Saul, Handmaid's Tale, The Good Place.
Ooh, tough call.
I mean, The Good Place is right up there for me.
Yeah.
What else came out?
Atlanta came out this year, I think.
I haven't finished the season yet.
That's good.
That's a good show.
Oh, boy.
What NCIS are we up to?
We're up to NCIS.
One of the guys on it was sexually harassing somebody on his new show.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah, that's what we're up to.
Cool.
That's so cool.
Apparently, The Americans is amazing.
Barry is apparently amazing.
I nearly bought Barry for Christmas for myself, but then I didn't.
I'll do it tomorrow.
Matt, if you wait a year, you mention it on the show, and then I might buy it for you
for next Christmas.
Oh, that's so exciting.
That's very good.
Altered Carbon came out this year.
That was okay, yeah.
Yeah.
I really want to finish The Americans.
I only got like six episodes in.
Oh, boy. When did it... Sharp Objects is apparently very good The Americans. I only got like six episodes in. Oh boy, when did it...
Sharp Objects is apparently very good.
Yep.
I...
Glow?
Think I prefer...
Yeah, I like Glow.
You liked Maniac too.
I liked Maniac as well.
People liked Haunting on Hill House.
In many ways...
Bojack.
Bojack Horsman was great this season.
The Marvelous Miss Maisie.
Bodyguard.
The Terror's quite good.
Yep.
Look, it's a good question.
Saturday Night Live, get out of here.
Get as if.
What are you talking about?
I really liked Atlanta, but I think I enjoyed the first season,
which I think came out last year more than I enjoyed the second season.
So I'm going to take that out of the running,
even though I think it's a great show.
I quite liked American Vandal this year as well.
Yep.
Castlevania came out this year.
I have not watched that yet. That's all right. Oh, people loved Making a Murderer.vania came out this year. I have not watched that yet.
That's all right.
Oh, people loved Making a Murderer.
Was that even this year?
I have no idea.
Let me think.
Do people like the new seasons of House of Cards?
I don't think they did.
So for me, it's a tie between The Good Place and Westworld, I think.
Okay.
Both of which are series that evolve over the course of different seasons.
Like they almost become a different show over the course of the different seasons.
Okay, fair enough.
I'm going to say The Good Place
because I think it's more consistent.
Though Westworld had some very high, high points,
including the Native American dude
figuring out what was going on.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, that was one of the best episodes of TV
I watched this year, I think.
Yeah, right.
What are you going to say?
And also Westworld had that episode
where everybody gets machine gunned. Yeah, that was good. Was that last year or this year? That was the end of last year and the start of this year, think yeah right what are you gonna say and also westworld had that episode where everybody gets machine gun yeah that was good that's pretty last year or this year that was
that was the end of last year and the start of this year i feel good stuff yeah do we have to
decide on the same thing i don't think we do okay good place yeah i'm gonna sell okay with a good
place i quite like better call saul and a lot of things this year tv's like the new movies it is
you can watch it yeah uh what about worst tv show I've got nothing on my list, but I wrote probably that Zach Braff podcast one.
Was that a TV series or a movie?
It's a TV series.
Really?
Did that get a full run?
I think it did.
Please look into that.
I will right now while you're reading some others that we've got here.
Okay.
Let's say bad TV series.
Walking Dead.
Yeah, fair enough.
I didn't watch it.
Didn't watch it, but yes.
Doctor Who.
I'm like, yeah, whatever.
The Netflixes' serieses'.
Which ones?
Luke Kay, Giant Fist.
I think there was an improvement this year.
I don't think they're that bad.
I'm going to say Jessica Jones.
Did that come out this year, season two?
Yeah.
That was a real letdown for me.
Okay.
Yeah.
I didn't watch it.
I don't think it's the worst thing i've seen this year but it was just
the highs of the first one i think they were just like give her more issues to deal with yeah
absolutely and they did she didn't learn anything they really hamfisted it i feel so i was just uh
laughing to myself here because the first result for zach braff podcast series is it's on the usa
today alex inc it's called alex inc Alex Inc. it's called Alex Inc. Review
Zach Braff's podcasting sitcom
is a nightmare
oh boy
a nightmare
that's interesting
could we
click on that for me
will you
give me
give me an example of that
but I think
it is a
it's a big call for me
to be like
Luke Cage
and Iron Fist season 2
were better than
Jessica Jones season 2
but that's the universe
we live in
2018 when's 2018 going to be over James I'll tell you what soon I mean it's already over Lionfish season two were better than Jessica Jones season two. But that's the universe we live in.
When's 2018 going to be over, James?
I'll tell you what, soon.
I mean, it's already over.
Happy New Year.
Yeah, yeah. For some, yeah.
While speaking on radio and podcasts,
people sometimes slip into a register known as vocal fry.
Their lowest possible speaking tone, this is the review,
that can sound unnatural or creaky.
It can be grating, rasping sound that ruins the experience of listening.
Is that a thing?
Anyway, Zach Praff's new podcast-centric sitcom,
Alex Inc., is like vocal fry come to life.
Oh, that's a reviewer who learned a fact that week
and decided to incorporate it in a review
regardless of whether it applied or not.
Do you remember this vocal fry?
Yes.
People are like, because they do the voice
and they're like, and he was murdered
and they didn't think
they thought it
it was an open and shut case
but actually
it was a series of
eight to ten podcast episodes
where at the end
sponsored by blueapron.com
where at the end
we don't know
yeah
because you would know
because you just google
who did it
that's right
yep
I'm going to say Jessica Jones
for me
Daredevil I feel
maintained a consistent level of quality
I enjoyed that
I agree with you on that Mason
Did you watch Daredevil season 3?
No
I watched half of it
And it was good
Most underrated movie
Okay yep
I'm ready
Is it Tomb Raider?
No
Is it Mowgli?
No
I think it is
Okay then
Mowgli's good
Alright
I'm going to shout about Mowgli
Was it underrated though? Yeah people hated it Did they really? Yeah. Mowgli's good. All right. I'm going to shout about Mowgli. Was it underrated, though?
Yeah, people hated it.
Did they really?
Yeah.
Let me think.
It's better than the other one.
Yep.
It was Teen Titans Go to the Movies.
That's what came out this year.
Okay, on the list.
Overlord?
Didn't see it.
Haven't seen it.
Haven't seen it.
Mandy, which is the Nicolas Cage.
Apparently that's amazing.
This might be Overlooked.
Yeah.
This is a list of Overlooked movies, I feel.
Was it underrated?
Isn't it the same thing, Mason?
I guess so, that's true.
What are you doing?
What's next?
Ballad of Buster Scruggs is on there again.
I feel like that's not underrated or overrated.
I feel like you're either going to like it or you're not.
And I completely understand if you wouldn't like it,
because again, it's vignettes.
It's not going to go anywhere.
These characters are there
and then they're gone
Game Night
underrated?
I think people liked that
didn't they?
I think universally liked
but again
not well watched
I don't think
okay
is that it?
yeah I think that's it
I was going to say Mowgli
Mowgli okay
alright
I'm going to agree with you
because I didn't see any of these
I saw Ballad of Baskerville
I did see that yeah but you also said it doesn't count of these. Still, Ballad of Basker looks great.
I did see that, yeah.
But you also said it doesn't count or something.
You can tell we're calling that Mason because he put the list together.
Thanks, Rob.
We kind of did half and half, but he made the form, which I appreciate.
This is the That Came Out This Year Award.
I'm ready.
Here we go.
We said Cloverfield Paradox, which is good.
Red Sparrow came out this year.
Red Sparrow.
Supertroopers 2 came out this year.
Black Panther. That's more of a like, it was February. Yeah, yeah, right, right. Feels like a million years ago. good uh red sparrow came out this year red sparrow super troopers 2 came out this year black panther
because it was february that's more of a like it was february and you're like yeah yeah right right
and it's like a million years ago and ready player one yeah i instantly forgot about uh i also think
jurassic world 2 like that oh that was this year i feel like no see ready player one is not good
but i definitely recall it coming out this year. Fair point. It's definitely the thing that I said, which I've immediately forgotten.
Cloverfield Paradox.
There we go.
I think a testament to the fact that we said it 30 seconds ago and already forgot it existed
is very much a good sign of that.
It's streaming as well.
Yeah, right.
I forget when stuff comes out on streaming because I was like, oh, I should put Gerald's
Game on this list.
It came out last year.
Right.
So anyway. Right. So, anyway.
Yeah, and look, I think for me it is...
And I'm aware Red Sparrow came out this year, I think.
I couldn't.
I'm a little bit surprised.
I'll be honest.
Okay, it's up there.
The only reason I know Cloverfield Paradox came out this year
is because it was at the Super Bowl.
That's the only reason I know.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
This is one of people's favourites.
What's ours?
Best movie where the game was on.
Oh, here we go. I'm Best movie where the game was on. Oh, here we go.
Okay, explain the game was on.
So this is an award we give.
It's our signature award.
Yep.
It's our Pista Resistance.
Our piece of piss.
It's for the movie that most ham-fisted-
It's a frozen shot of piss.
Through the eye of the viewer.
And it's the most ham-fisted attempt to set up a sequel or a
franchise uh it's named after the the movie dracula untold which is a medieval fantasy
adventure movie which then fast forwards to the the modern day where everything's completely
different and clearly they wanted to continue these movies as a franchise but and they did
in a different franchise yeah did the mummy come out this year when did it come out last year
because it won last year it did win last year so at the end of dracula untold charles dance says
who was a character murdered earlier in the show reemerges as just a regular businessman and says
let the games begin yeah but we took it as the game is on and so that's why it's called the game is on
that's why it's called
the game is on
yeah
Tomb Raider be in there
I think
probably
yeah
cause she gets the two guns
yeah
and I feel like
this is sometimes
misinterpreted
yeah
we're not gonna give it
to a Star Wars
no
it's not just any attempt
to be like
here's a movie coming
here's a sequel coming up
on the horizon
I think Solo's an exception
though yeah I agree because Solo was supposed to be more than one solo yes
and it was meant to set up okay well you like the origin of solo well here's more solo adventures
what about dothmore what about dothmore what about obi-wan kenobi there's going to be one of those as
well yeah but a bit it's it's an it's it's not an attempt to you know it's it's not a star wars
sequel where everybody's clamoring to see the finale it's hey do you want to see everything that happened in between here and a new hope
bearing in mind the main character cannot die yeah so you know enjoy that yeah uh so also it's
kind of tough because something like like venom was a very ham-fisted attempt oh so bad but we're
gonna get one.
So does it qualify?
Yeah, give me the other options and I'll tell you.
Solo, The Predator.
Oh, no, you know what?
Don't give me any more options.
Provide them like...
Once I've said what I have to bloody say,
I've said what I have to say, you can say the rest of them.
But anything that ends...
This is like Independence Day Resurgence
which ends with like
them going
hey we can go to this place
and get cool new weapons
and then we're gonna
kick some alien ass
yes
anything that could
reasonably be construed
as we're gonna go
kick some alien ass
yes
I think
and in this one
somebody
just
just a regular dude accidentally puts on a big predator fighting predator
suit with big,
weirdly balanced giant predator cannons on it.
And it looked so stupid and just,
that's not the point of the predator.
It's not the point.
The idea isn't we get a whole bunch of cool lasers
and then we go shoot the Predators on our own terms.
The point is the very idea of the Predator
is that human beings versus the Predator
are seriously outgunned and outskilled.
You know?
That's not what this franchise is about.
And to be like, yeah, it's just going to be video games.
It's just going to be a weird CGI man in a robot suit
shooting at predators with
giant lasers and it was clearly cares it was clearly added late in the day yeah right because
have you seen those there's on-set footage of a bunch of predators on a tank with all the human
guys presumably going to fight the the bigger predator predator or whatever it's a horrible
film which we'll talk about later more in depth. There's also apparently two robot dog movies this year, and one or both of them has the
biggest Gamazon moment ever.
Really?
I haven't seen either.
Which movies are those?
One's called, like, K-9 or Pax or, like, I don't know.
I'm not, I don't, they don't care.
Okay.
So, I think the award also has to go to a movie where it's not getting a
sequel yeah so i think it had i think the venom tanked could have been up there but even if it
did as badly as the predator did yeah it's still the predator yeah right because that was just
awful and they just because it was also that real sense of like huh yeah this is what you want isn't
it yeah this is what you guys want.
You just want, just, it was, it looked like the monster energy drink of, of, of battle
suits.
You know what I mean?
It was all just neon and lasers.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Anyway, it's that.
I don't mind a monster energy drink from time to time.
I won't do it.
It's poison.
It's all right.
I understand.
Yeah.
It's natural ginseng.
Okay.
I'm just kidding.
Next up is...
Wait, were there any other options there?
No, that's it.
What have you got on your list?
There might be...
Collin's might have put more in.
I don't know.
I'll have a quick look.
I can actually have a look too, Mason.
This is divided into nine pages, so it's kind of...
Cool.
Yeah.
Okay.
Oh, yeah.
It's Halloween the Predator.
Oh, Halloween.
Because there was breathing at the end. Oh, yeah, yeah, Halloween the Predator. Oh, Halloween. Because there was breathing at the end.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But, I mean, that's...
I feel like that...
If it's a good movie, can you...
Does it count?
Yeah, if it's ham-fisted enough.
Yeah, fair enough.
But I feel like that is a fairly common trope of the horror movie.
That's just like a...
Every horror movie ends with the bad guy still probably alive.
Fair enough.
So, I also feel like with a Venom...
Venom! Oh, Venom! still probably alive fair enough so i also feel like with a venom venom oh venom i feel like even
if that movie did tank yeah there's always going to be some sort of continuation somewhere along
the line yeah whether it be a reboot or just put him in the spider-man movie or what have you yeah
right you know it doesn't feel as much of a dead end as like, you know, this franchise that is only really movies,
just predator movies.
Yeah, absolutely.
Well, this one was garbage.
It was, wasn't it?
Yeah.
So it's the predator?
I think it is, yeah.
Look, I can't think of anything worse.
Nothing worse comes to mind.
It's one of those things where it's almost indescribable in a way
because I often don't know who's going to win until I see it.
And then I'm like, oh, it's that.
Like last year with The Mummy, I'm like, oh, it's definitely The Mummy.
And I can't wait until it's The Mummy again in a couple of years.
Or Bride of Frankenstein or whatever they're doing.
Okay, best comedy.
Game Night.
I like Game Night a lot.
Me too.
Deadpool 2.
Blockers.
There's also the movie where a guy cuts his dick off.
It's a Netflix movie.
Huh. You sure that isn't Blockers? It's not. It's got some of the people from Blockers. Choppers? there's also the movie where a guy cuts his dick off it's a Netflix movie huh
you sure that isn't Blockers
it's not
it's got some of the people
from Blockers
Shoppers
Tag
which I thought
I didn't say Tag
but I should
and
I didn't
it was kind of
kind of mean and dumb
it was kind of like
mean towards who
well there's a bit in it
and look
I truly believe in comedy
you can say whatever you want
I truly believe in comedy as well me too both of us do yeah but there's a bit where because jeremy
renner's so good at tag he's never been tagged so he gets his fiancee to fake a miscarriage
oh boy get out of the ad look is that probably hits a bit hope too close too close to home for
me obviously that's the reason i've talked about before but i still think you can joke about things
like that but i'm like this is i don't know man is this so this is this is loosely based on a real
group of friends i wonder if that really happened i don't think so right yeah i think the real story
because i've watched i've seen clips of like these guys like a mini kind of documentary about them
and they're just like 50 year old dads just following each other around the country or
whatever and yeah right okay yeah right it's less action-packed than you'd think yeah but i think And they're just like 50-year-old dads just following each other around the country or whatever.
Yeah, right. And tagging each other.
Okay, yeah, right.
It's less action-packed than you'd think.
Yeah, but I think that's also interesting.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
Yeah, maybe the documentary would be...
I thought it was okay.
I didn't love it.
Crazy Rich Asians was pretty funny in parts.
Okay, yeah.
I feel Game Night was really solid.
I didn't watch Blockers, but I have been watching just John Cena interview video clips on YouTube.
He's very funny.
He's very funny
and charming yeah he's the new the rock yeah i think maybe he is yeah i i didn't you know i
didn't give him enough credit because i think the first did you see like the marine the marine
exactly what i'm thinking of it just look he just looked like some meathead dude yeah being like hey
other meathead dudes this is what you like here we go and just i think we the turning point was
train wreck which i haven't seen.
Yes, he's in that, isn't he?
Yeah.
I've seen some clips of him in that and he's very funny.
Yeah.
For me, it's either Game Night or Blockers.
It's probably Blockers, I think, though.
Cool, man.
All right, I'm going to check out Blockers.
Cool, you should, Mason.
I'm going to.
You're going to pick Game Night?
Yes.
Oh, Devil 2 is funny in parts.
Best villain, Mason.
Oh, here we go.
Claw.
Yes.
Yeah, that's probably it.
Keep going, though.
Killmonger.
Good, but I mean...
How do you judge a villain?
I guess is my question.
Engagement.
Whether I would be engaged to them.
All right, uh-huh.
You'd be engaged to Claw?
Yeah, uh-huh.
Yeah, both.
Or Killmonger.
He'd probably shoot me.
For sure, yeah.
Yeah.
The Drago brothers. They're not brothers. Yeah. He'd probably shoot me. For sure, yeah. Yeah. The Drago brothers.
They're not brothers.
They're kind of the Drago.
See, they're compelling though, aren't they?
They are.
They really are.
They're a unit.
Yeah.
See, and I guess the...
I think we've kind of covered the breadth of villainy here
because we've got like...
Cartoonish.
We've got cartoonish.
Well, even more cartoonish.
We've got like Juggernaut from deadpool 2 oh yeah who's very much just a just a cartoon monster of a character
and then we've got claw who's like a villain you you want to succeed even though he's the worst
person in the world yeah uh and then we've got you know the drago brothers and killmonger who's
got a point he's got a point and and the drago brothers. And Killmonger, who's got a point. He's got a point. And the Drago brothers
who like,
who started out
as like cartoon villains
in the 80s
or Drago started
as a cartoon villain
in the 80s
and now he's this character
who's got depth
and sadness
and a trailer.
And I wanted to see
much more of him.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
I've also got Thanos.
Yep.
Yeah.
Michael Myers,
who you have problems with
because is he running
or is he not running?
Is he running or is he not running
or he must be running he's running he was definitely running in the original yeah yeah
uh this is a tough one i kind of turn me around on there's probably more on the list i'll find
off you've kind of turned me around on the drago thing though like i was like yeah i liked them but
um i think you might be right for me at least i I mean people like Killmonger, right?
I like Killmonger.
Okay, here we go. Right. Okay, Claw.
Killmonger. Kingpin into the Spider-Verse.
Not bad. Yep. Somebody on the
Great Mates group suggested we could do
Best Kingpin this year.
Because we've got D'Onofrio and we've got
It's the Spider-Verse one.
Liev Schreiber? It's definitely, yeah.
It's definitely the Spider-Verse one. Liev Schreiber? It's definitely, yeah. It's definitely the Spider-Verse one then.
Yeah, I find him...
I like the comic book version of him.
I kind of do as well.
I like the other one too.
I feel he's more...
I feel the comic version is the ideal version
because we've got...
I feel like the version in Spider-Verse is more...
He feels like a down and dirty mobster
where I feel like the comic book version
Which I enjoy the most
Is kind of cultured
And sophisticated
And he's kind of above it all
And he's a brick
And he's a brick, exactly
Okay, we've got Drago
The Drago brothers
Collings has put in Peter Quill here
Star-Lord from Avengers Infinity War
Walton Goggins from Tomb Raider
Doesn't say open the tomb as he does in the
trailer so he's out he's also put grindelwald yeah definitely not no controversial choice
yeah uh from okay so for me for me it's a choice between claw yep and the drago brothers claw's
fun isn't he he is fun but i i feel like i should say killmonger yeah but i don't want to okay well
that's that's how most awards are won i think i should go this guy'songer yeah but i don't want to okay well that's yeah that's how most
awards are won i think i should go with this guy's a better actor but i don't want to so i mean you
got real buff and everything but so did dragos the drago brothers they got so buff yeah i'm gonna
give it to the dragos okay why not i'm gonna go with claw just because he seems to be enjoying
himself a lot yeah Yeah, fair enough.
He's a guy who's in the moment and he's loving it.
I understand that.
I appreciate that.
And he's just...
He didn't...
I think if either of the Drago brothers lost their arm,
they'd just fall into a pit of sadness.
But this guy gets a robot arm with a gun in it,
just keeps on rolling.
Makes a playlist.
Keeps on rolling, baby.
You know what time it is on rolling baby you know what
time it is yeah i know what time it is mason it's time for best comic okay okay uh this is some of
my choices but you probably have some of your own okay i'm ready the darth vader comic yep uh i
haven't been big on the earth one series but i really like the green lantern one did you read
that no it's really good okay uh i know Black Hammer has been running for a while
but my favourite
one of those
is Doctor Star
did you read Doctor Star
no I'm way behind
on the whole bunch of stuff
you can read that
whenever
Mr Miracle
has been great
that's a good one
and it's only two in
but Terminator Sector Wars
is
what's that about again
refresh my memory
it's the same time
as 1984
the original Terminator
it's on the different
side of town
it's only two in
I can't.
Oh, I see.
Right, right, right.
Okay, great.
It cannot be judged.
Okay.
And I've been reading a bunch of stuff.
I've been catching up on a bunch of stuff this week.
But I feel like I need to kind of let it marinate a bit more.
You got to get that.
What about you?
What have you been reading this year?
Hang on.
I'll check my comiXology.
Please do, Mason.
I'll see what else Collings has on this list.
I don't think he's got that one.
No, he does.
Oh, does he?
Best comic. Black Hammer, Dark that one. No, he does. Oh, does he? Best comic.
Black Hammer, Dark Knight Metal.
Haven't read that. Yeah, that started
out, I feel, strong and descended into
idiocy very quickly.
Doomsday Clock, I don't know at this point.
Nobody remembers it. Dark Knight's
Metal also, I feel like the spin-offs were just grim
and awful for no reason. For what, sorry?
Dark Knight's Metal, yeah.
Doomsday Clock, I just said, didn't I?
Because nobody remembers it.
I just said it twice.
Go Go Power Rangers.
Didn't read it.
Kill or Be Killed.
That one's great, yep.
The Mighty Thor.
I haven't read that.
Monstrous.
Saga.
Rise of the Black Panther.
I just downloaded this because I saw it.
Transformers Lost Light
yeah that's a good one
yeah
I want to read that
X-Men Red
and on here
Winter Dark
our good friend
Pete Ford's comic
oh yeah that's right
so yeah I recommend that
if people want to download that
and want a good old
independent comic
definitely check that out
what about you Mason
what have you got
look Black Hammer
Black Hammer's been solid
for a really long time
and I think maybe mr
miracle's my my my fave of the year good yeah i like the i really like the doomsday episode
dark side episode yeah issue man i got none of that right did i start it again we'll pretend
it didn't happen okay that's so great yeah uh i I'm going to say Dr. Star, though.
Okay, cool.
I've not gotten to that, which is interesting because I really like Starman,
and it seems to be very heavily based on that.
I probably would like Starman.
Yeah, right.
It's a bit that.
It's a bit Green Lantern.
It's good.
What are you going to say then?
You said it didn't.
Mr. Miracle, I sure did.
Good on you, Mason.
Do you want to start this whole award again?
Nah.
Okay, then.
Maybe I'll put like Dark Knight 3, The Master Race, which came out several years ago.
What about this?
Best movie that you didn't think was great.
Okay, so from a series of movies that...
Yeah, so it could still be good.
Yep.
But...
Let me find this.
Give me some options here.
I don't think it's on the list.
Well, I've only got one.
Okay.
I just put Black Panther.
Okay. Because I like it. Yep. I like it. Right. But I don't think it's on the list. Well, I've only got one. Okay. I just put Black Panther. Okay.
Because I like it.
Yep.
I like it.
Right.
But I didn't think it was great.
Okay.
Best movie.
Mostly because he had an indestructible suit.
Best movie that I didn't think was great, Bumblebee.
Yep.
I feel.
That's a very good example.
It's well made and it's well written.
Yep.
And the effects are great.
It's got some really high highs in it. Yeah. And it's well produced and it's well written. Yep. And the effects are great. It's got some really high highs in it.
Yeah, and it's well produced and everybody does a good performance.
I liked all the supporting cast for the most part, except for maybe the kid.
Sorry, go on.
The kid, maybe.
There's a fight he has with Blitzwing.
That's great.
Which I keep watching on YouTube.
Keep mentioning it constantly.
It's great.
And it really evokes the 80s in a good way and not an overpowering way necessarily.
Except for the kids like, was radical. Yeah the kid
I think Hayley Steinfeld's good
in it and I think it's a good like it's way
better than the first
five and I think it will
pave the way for if they're going to do some sequels
to better sequels. Yep. But I didn't
it's not my favourite movie
ever made. I think you're right.
It was so well put together, but I'm not like,
yes, I'm going to see that again tomorrow.
I saw it and I'm done and I'll see the sequel probably.
Because it's better than just a movie, but it's not quite.
I'm agreeing with you on that.
I couldn't even think of...
I meant to take this one out, but there is actually...
Collings luckily did put it in.
It's best hulking grey CGI villain.
Yeah, right.
Who have we got this year?
Riot and Juggernaut.
That's Riot for sure.
Yeah.
Look, again, Juggernaut's at least got a pop of colour.
He's got that yellow jumpsuit on.
Yep, fair enough.
And he's not that much of a personality.
Yep.
And he does get blown up in the bath or whatever.
And he's not supposed to be, I guess.
No, that's true, yeah.
Did Ryan Reynolds do all the CGI for that?
Yeah, he did all the CGI, yes. He programmed it himself. No, he did the voice, yeah. Look, it's supposed to be, I guess. No, that's true, yeah. Did Ryan Reynolds do all the CGI for that? Yeah, he did all the CGI, yes.
He programmed it himself.
No, he did the voice, yeah.
Look, it's got to be...
If you're in an action sequence with a villain...
Yeah.
At the very least, like, so many Marvel and DC movies have this,
they fall down where it's just Captain America fighting a big CGI grey villain
or Wonder Woman fighting a big CGI grey villain.
At least you can tell Wonder Woman...
Yes.
...apart from the grey CGI villain.
Venom, you cannot.
No, I...
It's just a smush of grey taffy.
Who cares?
You're right.
Yeah.
They could have just made him blue.
Just make him blue.
Or red.
Or yellow.
We can't make him red because it's carnage.
Because it's the same carnage.
Just make him yellow then.
Make him yellow.
Make him like a...
Put a big yellow splo yellow make him like a like a
put a big yellow
sploosh on him
like he's a
like a deadly spider
agree
that would work
yep
and it doesn't even
matter which one
like I didn't even
know it was right
I can't tell the
symbiotes apart
so
who cares
who cares
what about this
worst trailer
I don't know whether
this is best or not
but I've put in here
the one where
will smith turns into a bird but that might be my favorite trailer of all time maybe what are
our options for worst trailer here that's the only one i've got here okay but i'll look at i'll look
at the list what collins has done all right uh what do we got here uh
aquaman a lot of people hated the aquaman trailer and Shazam, actually.
Captain Marvel's on here.
Hellboy got a bit of a kicking.
But I don't think it was terrible.
Yeah, I think that that is a function of us being jarred
by the fact that he doesn't look anything like Ron Perlman.
I think if you'd never seen a Hellboy movie
or the comic book character and you just watched that,
I think you might be like, that's intriguing.
I just realised as well that he's got Venom on here and I'm like, well, what about that
was bad?
And it was bad because it wasn't, the first trailer, it didn't look like anything.
And the second one was everything, was the whole movie.
It was also X-Men Dark Phoenix.
That did have a trailer, didn't it?
Yeah, I'm going to give it to that solely because I can't remember there being a trailer
at all.
Also, I think it spoils that Jennifer Lawrence dies in that movie.
All right.
I think the primary function of a trailer
is to remind you that a movie is coming out soon.
And if you forget that it exists.
Yeah.
If it actively erased elements of the movie from your mind.
Also, they put the trailer out
and then the next day they delayed the movie six months.
Yeah, that's a bad sign, right?
That's never good.
No.
So, yeah.
So I'm going to give it to that as well.
I had another thought, but I can't remember what it was.
Will Smith is a pigeon?
No, it's not that.
It's not that at all.
Because you remember it.
People say that about marketing, isn't it?
Yeah, that's right.
Because you remember it.
You remember it, don't you?
Yeah.
I'll think of it later.
Don't worry about it.
Okay, cool.
Do you want to read the list again in case you forget?
Yes, if you could.
Aquaman, Captain Marvel, Hellboy, Venom, Dark Phoenix.
In the Venom, it was like...
Because remember we did that competition where show somebody who doesn't know anything about comic books this.
Yeah.
And tell them what it was.
And it was like people were like a man possessed, a man having a stroke.
Yeah.
People didn't know what it was.
No, I think it's
venom related vaguely but i couldn't tell you what it is i'll think of it later and i'll just
we'll add it later great yeah cool you probably won't remember i won't remember it and we won't
add it uh best trailer uh for me there's a couple that i quite liked including the spiderverse
trailer that turned me around on that in a big way like i was like animated spider-man movie and
then i saw that trailer and i'm like this looks fucking incredible you're right and it was it sold what that movie was that's true
and it delivered on that it's it was a great trailer uh other we got here also um uh the
pokemon trailer i quite like yeah okay that that turned me around on pokemon as a pokemon non-fan
i was like okay this is fun and intriguing I don't know the general consensus on Pokemon, that trailer, but I liked it.
Bumblebee, yeah.
Avengers Endgame was an okay trailer, which showed enough to me.
Yeah, right.
But it wasn't a great trailer.
Captain Marvel was pretty good.
Yeah.
Glass, he does the dog run, which I enjoyed.
Yeah, that's true.
Godzilla King of Monsters, see some stuff. Yeah, that's true. Godzilla King of Monsters.
See some stuff.
Yeah, they've really gone all out to be like, you know what?
Just here's all the monsters.
Here's all the monsters of this movie.
Yes.
They look great though.
The Lion King.
Apparently it's not a shot for shot remake either, the new one.
But they are trademarking.
Could have fooled me.
Yeah, Hakuna Matata, which is an actual phrase from Tanzania. It means no worries. Yeah worries yeah it is and i know that because i lived there for six months because i'm a man of
the world mason huh i have traveled some yep and i bring my worldly experiences to this podcast yes
that's your trouble free philosophy correct mission impossible fallout i don't remember
that trailer ah there was a lot of helicopters twirling about. And he reloaded his arms.
Yes, that did have the famous arm reload and mustache.
Spontaneous beard growth.
Yeah, that's right.
I'm going to give it to Fallout just for that.
There's also Shazam Spies in Disguise, which is the Will Smith is a Pigeon.
Yes, we know what it is.
I'm giving it to Will Smith is a Pigeon.
Okay, great. What are you giving it to?
I'll give it to the thing that I said, Mission Impossible Fallout.
I quite like the Shazam trailer, but at the same time... I felt it was the kid wasn't the adult.
I feel like different people.
Yeah, I guess that's true, yeah.
But you can like what you want, Mason.
Next up is best dead or CGI de-aged actor.
Was anybody dead and brought back to life this year?
I don't think there was.
No.
I mean, I was going to sayake johnson in the mummy but that was
last year and no i meant like an actor who no i know what you mean it's still a good joke yeah
it's good it's good stuff uh michael douglas and michelle pfeiffer were for me was michelle
pfeiffer de-aged yeah i'll just briefly in a flashback okay right yeah probably michael
douglas that looks pretty good yeah that looks that stuff's great that's that's there's some
is there some de-aging in Black Panther?
I don't think there is.
Because they use younger actors, don't they, for the past?
Yes, don't they use related actors maybe?
Yes, they might.
I think you're right, yeah.
Yeah, I don't think there's any de-aging.
But I think the advantage is the fact that Michael Douglas has been on screen for decades.
And they could just...
I think also...
But advantage would also be casting someone
not as well known because then you're like what does this guy look like young nobody knows that's
true if you fuck up the de-aging of michael douglas people know what he looks like yeah
you will get angry emails for well you get angry phone calls from michael douglas michael douglas
exactly yeah uh so i'm gonna give it to michael doug Michael Douglas what about best kids film so Michelle Pfeiffer doesn't seem to have aged
that much at all
so she doesn't win just for the fact that she looks great now
also they do a lot of de-aging on people
in general
I was watching Star Wars the other day
I think they did Force Awakens
I didn't finish it, it was fine
but I think they de-aged Harrison Ford
in that a little bit
there's something else i noticed about that
character i'm ready to make a very short video on it but it is mind-boggling when i saw it i'm like
oh my god this is in the force awakens yes and you don't think this has been covered before i
don't think it has wow and i and it's it's the thing mr... Mr. Sunday Movies video exclusive. Videos every Sunday, Thursday.
What are we doing?
Saturday.
Tuesday, Saturday.
I don't know.
I've got to think.
Tell me about it afterwards.
It's going to be a short video.
Yeah, right.
It's probably not.
It's only interesting to me.
No one else would probably care.
Best kids film, Spider-Verse.
Do we have any other options there?
There might have been a Shrek this year.
Yeah.
I don't think there was.
They're rebooting Shrek, aren't they?
I think so, yeah.
Shrek No Kids.
Yeah, Shrek No Kids with the original cast, yes.
What about...
We're going to bloody speed through this a bit.
Best video game.
What did you play this year?
I didn't play a lot.
I reintegrated into the video game world with Spider-Man PS4.
And it's a great game.
Didn't really play anything else.
I bought a copy of...
You went on Gamey Game Game though, right?
I did, yeah.
You played something for that, didn't you?
No, we played Spider-Man.
Oh, you didn't play anything else for it?
Okay, fair enough.
I watched some trailers, yeah.
You know what?
I don't like Red Dead.
You don't like it?
Nah.
Have you finished it?
Nah.
How much have you played of it?
There's too many cowboys walking on a horse
talking about their feelings.
Okay.
And the narrative is really interesting, but I think that gameplay is really restrictive
and I don't think the shooting mechanics are good and translate well and you accidentally
do the wrong button prompts.
I'm not the only one who thinks this, but I'm probably going to get shouted out a lot
for that because it's an absolute masterpiece, et cetera.
Right, right, right.
But I don't like it.
Is there a lot of micromanagement?
Yes.
I don't like that is there a lot of micromanagement yes i don't like that yeah can you
and you can't like there's things like you can't if you get a pelt you gotta put it you gotta shoot
an animal properly with a proper gun otherwise you're like the damage the pelt then you gotta
put on the back of your horse and you gotta ride it to a guy and he sounds awful yeah um
can you get lots of different kinds of boots? Yeah. I'm back in.
And hats.
Ooh.
God of War was really good too.
You should play that.
I will.
I played other things,
but those are probably the three main ones.
Did you play anything indie?
Did you play any little indie games? Yeah, I can't remember what.
It's on my PlayStation, whatever.
Alrighty then.
I played that Sonotica for a little bit,
which I enjoyed, but stopped playing.
I'm playing a racing game at the moment.
It was on the PS Plus for December,
and it's basically you've got to destroy the other races,
but it's not so much a race.
It's like survival and stay inside the zone.
Destruction Derby style.
I can't remember what it's called.
Okay, all right.
It's good.
Well, I'm giving it to Spider-Man PS4,
the only game I've played this year.
Because it's been so long since they made a good one,
and then they made a good one.
They made a really good one.
Yeah.
Good, solid stuff.
What about this, Mason?
Worst sequel or reboot?
Is it Jurassic World 2, or is it The Predator?
It's The Predator.
Yes, it is.
Yeah.
Do you remember the bit in The Predator where the boy had autism
and they wanted his autism?
Yeah, The Predator's wanted the autism because that would make...
They would integrate his autism into their species,
and then they would become the ultimate warriors somehow.
Yes.
It's not how it works.
It's how it works.
Okay, then.
Carry on.
It's weird because the Predator is like a fundamental misunderstanding of the characters in the universe and what makes that interesting by the guy who had a big hand in the original Predator.
Isn't that weird?
Yeah.
If I can preempt this, I can preempt some of the other categories.
Yep.
If the Predator's in them, it's the worst option.
If the award is for the worst thing, the Predator gets it.
If it's an award for the best thing, the Predator becomes the bottom of the list.
So we can just skip all those.
If you're playing along at home, that's how this is going to go.
It's not a good movie.
It's gotten worse the more I've thought about it.
And they hide a pedophile.
Yes, they did.
Knowingly, it seems.
What about this?
Best or worst comic book movie?
For me, the best is Spider-Verse.
Yep.
And the worst is probably Venom.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And Aquaman's somewhere in the middle of that.
Yeah, but now that I think about it,
considering Venom...
Venom!
Venom!
We're going in different directions.
It doesn't matter.
We've got different styles.
I'm going in a Moon River direction.
Yes.
I would watch Aquaman a million times over before I watch Venom again.
One hundred percent, yes.
Because it was doing things.
It was actually doing things.
And they made it.
I like some of the Tom Hardy stuff in Venom.
They cut out most of it, apparently.
Yeah, right.
But it's not...
What's the best one, though, for you?
Is it Infinity War?
Yeah, I think it is.
I'm doing top and bottom for this. I it Infinity War? Yeah, I think it is. Yeah.
I'm doing top and bottom for this.
I've combined them, Mason. That's pretty good.
I think it is just because it's...
Spider-Verse I did enjoy
and as a standalone I enjoyed it.
I thought it was great.
Yeah.
But I just think just as the penultimate chapter
in what is I guess a 20 film storyline,
the fact that it is good at all is astounding.
You're absolutely right.
And the fact that I thought it was great is mind boggling.
But I feel that about Spider-Verse also because it's like the 15th Spider-Man.
I guess that's probably true, yeah.
But yeah, I agree to agree.
Thank you.
That it's Spider-Verse.
What about the worst special effect?
Ooh, what options do we have there?
The CGI de-aging in Aquaman.
Of Tamara Morrison and Nicole Kidman.
Mostly him.
Yeah.
Nicole Kidman again doesn't seem to age at all, yeah.
The rubbery bouncing about in Black Panther.
Yep.
Summer Venom, I've just written here.
Summer Venom, because I couldn't tell you what was happening or any of it.
The biggest effect in that movie is somebody's arm turns into an axe oh yeah you
know i remember that i mean it's the it's the best version of venom committed to live action film i
think yeah but that's the two of the two options exactly i mean what are you what are we yeah
looking at here but even it's i mean it's not you want you want that you want the venom mask
forming around his face to be visceral and terrifying or whatever but it's just not
it's just some pixels
moulding together
that's why I liked it
oh cool
that's why for me
it's really good
like a good movie
would be
yeah it's venom for sure
what about best hair
oh yeah
we got Chris Evans
we got Chris Evans
we got
this includes wigs I guess
yes it does
because wigs can be
very convincing
yep
except if you're John Travolta.
Tom Cruise, obviously.
He's in there every year.
Tom Holland had some great hair.
He did.
Black Widow, I feel like, had good blonde hair.
A lot of people on the fence about it.
I liked it.
I don't like it.
I like the look.
Again, I'm a firm believer in her best hair being Iron Man 2.
You're wrong.
All right.
That's where we differ.
And it'll probably be the end of the podcast.
I think so.
If it's going to end
on any note,
it's going to be that.
But I think it's
Tom Cruise
because real hair
probably died,
but versatile.
Oh, just generally
his hair is quite versatile,
right?
I think it does different.
It has been,
it's been on a journey.
Yeah.
Now, Chris Evans' hair
is a wig, right?
Yes. Okay. And Captain America's. Tom Holland's got it's been on a journey yeah now chris evans hair is a wig right yes okay and captain america's what tom holland's hair is real sure yes it is i'm going with tom holland i think that's good yeah it's good hair okay it's youthful yeah it's got some
bounce to it but see tom tom holland has a young man's hair whilst tom cruise is 57 and he's still
got that hair yeah it's yeah it's yeah i mean maybe maybe he's had plugs and whatever but i
just think he has i I think that's...
It looks real.
If he has, those are the best Hollywood plugs I've ever seen.
Well, apparently they're all good now.
I'm going to look up Mission Impossible because I can't recall what his hair's like.
Yeah.
It's...
It's kind of...
Yeah, it's pretty standard for him.
But I guess I'm just talking the length and breadth of his career in having hair.
Yeah, having hair.
Yeah, for sure.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, look at his hair from when he had long hair in that movie about where his dad
was dying or whatever.
Yeah.
You know what I'm talking about?
Mission Impossible 2.
Yeah, that one.
His dad being...
Anthony Hopkins.
Yes, exactly.
Nah, look.
Look, I like his hair generally.
He does have good versatile hair.
It's not his best hair.
It's not his best hair.
I don't think it's the best hair this year
I mean it's just
it's no Valkyrie hair
this is the same hair he basically used
for Jack Reacher Never Go Back
and The Mummy
he hasn't changed it up in a while
it's no better than Henry Cavill's hair
in the same movie
you've convinced me, I'm going to go to Captain America
because that is a stellar wig and beard combination
that is very good it's tough't know you know it's both it's
tough to carry off the slicked back long hair beard situation you know i mean if you think you
can do it and we even even when it comes askew it looks good you know yeah he looks great how does
he do it makeup and wigs it's makeup and wigs yeah exactly yeah why do they wig him up what do you
mean why do they wig him i reckon he's i mean? Why do they wig him? I reckon his natural hair probably doesn't look that great long.
Yeah, okay.
I find some people have great short hair.
Some people have great long hair.
It doesn't work.
It doesn't cross over.
Yeah, you're probably right.
So I reckon his natural hair is kind of...
Yeah.
Or maybe he was doing another project at the same time where he required short hair.
That's very possible. what about this the worst wig or hair uh i've got a couple of choices
here we've got johnny depp's grindelwald that is an atrocious haircut yeah yeah yeah like the
dye job on it the shaved sides the that's true bloody uh we've got johnny depp's ex amber heard
mirror wig or whatever it is
It's kind of comic book-y, I don't mind it
Oh no, I know what the winner is
Yes, it's Woody Harrelson in Venom
Unbelievably bad
It looks like a cake
Don't you reckon?
It looks like a cake
Like a dropped cake
And it's just
That's meant to be It's meant to be a wow moment.
It's meant to be a hook for the next one.
It's meant to be people going, oh my God, it's the villain we wanted.
And I'm so excited to go to the next one because that's going to be the villain that I love so much from the comic books.
And to make him, he looks like Annie.
He looks like little orphan Annie.
People would have been like, did they throw her in prison at the end of,
has she spent decades in prison after the end of the movie Annie?
Okay, so we've got the biggest disappointment,
the Predators in there.
So it's the Predator.
It's the Predator.
Look, just for, no, actually it's not.
You know what?
I tell a lie because I didn't think it was going to be any good.
What are our other options?
I've got Jurassic World here, but you don't care about those.
Didn't think it was going to be good or bad.
Let me check.
Cloverfield Paradox.
Fantastic Beasts.
Two Crimes of Bung Eye McGee.
Yep.
Again, didn't mind.
It was fine.
Mute.
Yeah, that was a disappointment. Oh, wait, I do have... Okay, I do have the list here. Solo.'t mind. It was fine. Mute. Yeah, that was a disappointment.
Oh, wait.
Okay, I do have the list here.
Solo.
Didn't think anything of it.
Venom.
Didn't think it was going to be anything.
That's still the Predator for me.
I reckon it might be Mute.
Yeah, Mute was disappointing, wasn't it?
I don't...
That's more kind of like, oh.
Yeah.
See, that's what I'm talking about.
I never thought the Predator was going to be any good.
Because, again, I liked Predators. And I'm like, this looks like it's going to be... I'm talking about. I never thought the Predator was going to be any good. Because, again, I liked Predators.
And I'm like, this looks like it's going to be...
I'm a sucker.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
But I think Mute, as from the guy who did Moon and Source Code...
I really liked that director.
And a couple of other disappointments.
Yeah.
I thought Mute was going to be better than it was.
And it didn't grab me as anything.
Or make sense.
Or make any
sense yeah fair enough yeah fingers crossed for rogue trooper or whatever he does next but about
this mason uh movies they need to stop making i'm ready transformers nope no i'm okay with that uh
dc movies i want to see a couple more me too uh non-spider-man spider-man movies that's up there
that's certainly the front runner.
Fantastic Beasts.
I'll see at least one more of those.
Star Wars.
Not this year.
Yeah.
But soon.
Post episode nine, I'll be fine with them taking a long break.
Yep.
What about like a Cloverfield?
You want to see more Cloverfield?
Yes.
Okay.
Yeah.
I guess it's probably Spider-Man movies without Spider-Man.
Yeah.
Because I don't trust them to be good.
Yeah.
Just focus on your animation.
Venom wasn't even train wreck good, really.
No.
It wasn't train wrecky enough to be train wrecky good.
There's nothing like the movie Train Wreck.
You're right.
That's right.
Not a John Cena to be, to be inside.
You know what I mean?
You're a bloody man.
Here we go.
Okay.
We're going gonna do worst movie
just a movie best movie how's that sound great the worst movie for me is the predator again
yep agreed another no it's the predator i mean we don't need to say anything else
amazed just being the worst movie the year shane flack's such a i know he's an enigma
the nice guys was good yep Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was good
Iron Man 3 terrible
Terrible
But as we've talked about
He can't do
He can do dudes talking
Yep
And having a fist fight
Yep
He can't do anything else
He can't
If you give him a laser
They're out
Give any
Give any given character a laser
And he cannot figure out
How to make that movie work
Also he hired that pedophile He make that movie work also he hired that
pedophile yeah well he does say that he was kind of misled or whatever but still you should look
into it if you're hiring a pedophile yeah and also weren't they trying to cover it up and olivia mom
was like no they hired a pedophile yeah they absolutely yeah and there was kids on the set
yes anyway there was a kid pretending to have autism slapping his head.
Yeah, that's true.
Had the autism thing as well, which I talked about in the episode, which I hate.
Yeah.
I really hate it.
Because as I mentioned when we talked about it, you know, because being a teacher, you
know, a lot of kids have autism.
It's not uncommon.
And it's just, it's so off base.
Look, we could, I feel we could talk about how bad the Predator was for an hour, but we did
an episode on how bad it was for an hour.
Yeah, I should listen to it. The fact that
he tried to smuggle in the
Predator, the dude tried to smuggle in these Predator weapons
just, just
shipped them over. Yeah. When he had a device
that turned him invisible. Yep.
Just do that. Get on, turn invisible and get
on a plane. But he didn't do that. Didn't do that, did he?
Yeah. Yeah.
And there was the post-credits scene.
The fact that all the... The Predators are bulletproof until they're not bulletproof.
Yeah.
Just...
The fact that they already did Bigger Predator.
And dogs.
Yeah.
There's the one scene where the Predator escapes out of the medical facility.
That was good.
But that's it.
Jake Busey was in it.
Jake Busey was in it for no reason.
For what, though?
Yeah.
For what purpose?
Yeah, exactly.
What about Best Just a Movie? Okay, I'm ready. I'm in it for no reason. For what though? For what purpose? Yeah, exactly. What about best
just a movie?
Okay, I'm ready.
Pacific Rim 2?
That was just a movie
for sure.
I liked it though.
But it was just a movie.
It was just a movie.
Tomb Raider?
I'm ranking that higher
than Pacific Rim 2.
I would like the
Pacific Rim movies
to be better.
Aquaman?
I think it's a bit better
than just a movie.
I think it's better
than just a movie.
I agree.
I didn't love it. It may even be full mid-. Aquaman. I think it's a bit better than just a movie. I think it's better than just a movie. I agree. I didn't love it.
It may even be full mid-range for me.
Yeah.
But there was effort and they did...
They did things.
They did set things in it.
Yeah.
Solo.
That, I think, for me, is the biggest just a movie I've ever seen in my life.
What did I just say?
Solo and what was the other one?
Aquaman Tomb Raider Pacific Rim.
Oh, Pacific Rim and...
Remember the ball? The little one rollsaman Tomb Raider Pacific Rim. Oh, Pacific Rim and... Remember the ball?
The little one rolls into a ball in Pacific Rim.
Yeah.
And they fight the robots in the streets.
Yeah.
And he has the big swords and he just runs through the building.
Oh, it's so generic.
Oof.
I'm going to give the edge to Pacific Rim.
But Pacific Rim also had John Boyega who's very engaging.
Doing what?
But Clint Eastwood's son who is
you know he just looks like
a guy you've seen before but you don't know where.
Yeah right. So that's that
element of mystery. A little bit of
spice of a ooh intriguing.
I'm going to give it to Pacific Rim.
Because until you mentioned the swords and the ball
I forgot John Boyega was in it.
You know what at least
solo they gave it a shot
I think the supporting cast is quite charming in that movie
Solo is so average
It's so middle of the road
You're right
But I think Pacific Rim is even more middle of the road
I think Pacific Rim is better than that
I liked it more than the first one
We've hit one of our famous disagreements
Slight disagreements
But fortunately we can give out as many of these I think more than the first one. We've hit one of our famous disagreements. Slight disagreements. Yeah, slight disagreements.
But fortunately, we can give out as many of these copies of Dark Knight 3 as we wish as awards.
So I guess we're doing it.
I guess I'm saying Pacific Rim was just a movie.
Yeah.
I just...
They just rebuild all the cities again.
Yeah, they did.
Made no sense.
Okay, best movie of the year.
Yeah.
Infinity War. black clansman
annihilation uh i quite like the clover hitch killer that's up there for me okay searching if
i didn't watch it today would probably be in there as well uh what else we got hang on a mission
impossible fallout is in there for that's great uh wait hang on let me check this. I just got to find the list. Best worst movies of the year.
Best movie.
Okay.
Uh,
a quiet place.
Yeah,
it's good.
Uh,
black Panther.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh,
bumblebee,
Deadpool two,
Halloween,
Incredibles two,
mission impossible,
spider verse venom.
So for me,
it's probably spider verse.
Yeah. Black Klansman, annihilation. Probably. Right. So for me it's Probably Spider-Verse Yep
Black Klansman
Annihilation
Probably
Right
For me it's probably
It's probably Spider-Man
Or Fallout
I'm gonna give it to
Man I don't know
They're all pretty good
Well you must choose
I know
Yeah
Just a solid action espionage
Hit and hard movie
I reckon Mission Impossible Fallout for me.
Yeah.
I like all the characters you love are back.
Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames, The Lady.
Yes.
The Lady.
The other lady.
Rebecca Ferguson.
The other lady.
Michelle Monaghan.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Alec Baldwin's in this one.
Yeah.
He's in the field.
The action man, Thomas Cruise.
Thomas Cruise.
Himself.
Thomas Mapova III. Yeah, that's right. I'm The action man, Thomas Cruise. Thomas Cruise. His head. Thomas Mopova III.
Yeah, that's right.
I'm going to say Black Klansman because...
Henry Cavill.
Henry Cavill's in it.
Loading those guns.
Loading those guns.
They burn half his face off or whatever.
Black Klansman because it's...
He saves the day because he remembers his rock climbing from Mission Impossible 2.
It's a callback.
Very good.
Brings it all together.
Yep, it's Fallout for me.
Doesn't he say that as well as he's doing it?
This is from Mission Impossible 2.
Yes, he does.
Black Clansman says something, but it's also very funny.
It's really well cast.
Great performances.
Spider-Verse also, I feel like, because I just saw it.
I needed it to sit with me for longer.
It could very well also be Spider-Verse.
Also, I just love Adam Driver. I think he he's so great and is he handsome or not i've decided that he is i think he is yeah for sure he is have you seen logan lucky yeah i told
you to watch it did you yes you did mere weeks ago but i've already seen it so that's all right
i've seen it multiple times it's amazing that's everything do you want some quick quick answers
from what people have said?
Yes, please.
Okay, so for best movies, I won't read them all.
Best movie people have got Avengers at 45%.
That's pretty solid.
And after that, where they've got Deadpool 2.
Okay.
So there you go.
Are there any listed there others?
I think that would be
more interesting take like if somebody's like best movie none of these i'd rather say this instead
i uh upgrade sorry to bother you which i haven't seen apparently that's very good i've heard that
maybe in rap city solo creed 2 uh roma uh apparently roma's very good i've been i went
to watch it a couple times like oh this's like, oh, this is subtitled. I have to actually sit down and watch it properly.
Right, right, right.
Best just a movie.
Uh-huh.
Oh, Ant-Man and the Wasp.
That's pretty middle of the road, isn't it?
I think it's a little bit better than that, actually.
Aquaman, but Aquaman came out on top just.
Right, right, right.
Worst movie.
Oh, here we go.
Is Cloverfield Paradox.
Uh-huh.
Followed by Fantastic Beasts and then Holmes and Watson.
Yep.
I've heard nothing but bad things about that movie.
Best comic book movie is Avengers Infinity War.
Worst is...
What's that one?
Batman Ninja.
I forgot about Batman Ninja.
Yeah, that's no good.
Yeah, it's no good.
The movie's bad.
For anybody who missed it, I did an episode of Matt Stewart's podcast, Prime Mates, about that movie
because it's got literally millions of monkeys in it
and it's bad.
And it's bad.
Best sequel, prequel, and other movie,
Avengers Infinity War.
Best reboot is Bumblebee.
Best movie, the non-sequel reboot,
is Black Klansman,
followed by Upgrade.
This keeps freezing up, so I might have to leave it here.
Do you want best worst hair?
Chris Evans got best hair.
Yeah.
But the worst hair, Woody Harrelson Venom, because it looked like a drop cake.
Oh my God, it really did.
Yeah.
So that's great.
Cool, man.
So I guess we'll probably leave voting up for that if people want to.
Yeah, we'll get those final results next week, maybe.
Yeah.
And that's...
The tooth.
No, actually, next week, I think, is either going to be...
Because our last episode, we were taking a break.
That's right.
It's either going to be a best-of episode.
Oh, it is going to be best of the year of the show.
Yep.
It'll either come out next week or the week after.
There's going to be an ad in it,
but we don't know whether it's going to run next week
or the week after.
Oh, is that right?
So we are dictated by that.
Right, okay, incredible.
So Royal Collings is currently putting that together.
We're going to do a bloody intro and outro and an ad.
So if you can't wait for that.
Yeah.
Obviously, just hang on to your bloody hats, mate.
Hold on to those hats.
So that's, yeah, next week or the week after.
Yeah, right.
We're trying to make it next week,
but it might not be possible.
Okay.
And then we're taking like a two-week break
to like the 20th or something
like that cool man let me check double check when we're coming back mason okay we're coming back on
the 21st 21st so yeah all right then i should say that i'm saying it now in the episode because
maybe people don't listen this far and then we get a lot of messages yeah right exactly
okay and you know what's time for then what we we reading What are we going to read Oh my goodness
I'm doing a thing
What are we reading
Today
What are you reading
I've been reading
What are we going to read
A television show
Yes
That's called
You're the worst
You're the worst
Come on mate
I'm talking about a TV show
I thought you were talking about me
Yeah well
That's right
This has been going for four seasons
I have never heard of this
It's on
In America it's on FXX
And in Australia it's on the SBS
On Demand streaming service
Okay
And it's basically a
A couple who get together
Because they are the worst
But they're not really the worst
But they're like
They're tell it like it is
kind of people
they're honest to a fault
and kind of like
they're living in a world
where people are not like that
okay gotcha
and it's really funny
it's got
it's good old
good old fashioned sitcom
definitely worth watching
give it a few
watch the first few
and see if you enjoy it
is it better than
the one where the guy from It's Always Sunny you enjoy it is it better than uh the one
where the guy from it's always sunny is a teacher it's better than that ap bio it's better than that
yeah it it's it's it's a little bit of adults behaving badly you know grown-ups behaving
badly and childish but it's it's not it's not like that weird cartoonish kind of uh i hate
anything where it teaches like,
I'm unconventional, but you'd be fired.
Yeah, I'm drinking, I'm drinking at my desk.
I'm throwing apples at kids.
Yeah, you're out.
You're out the door, mate.
Yeah.
Though sometimes teachers just get moved around.
That's all I'll say.
Oh, I see what you're saying.
I've seen it happen.
Yeah, I've seen what you're saying.
Yeah.
I'm reading... I read in particular three issues of Tom King's Batman 51 to 53, where Bruce
Wayne is on jury duty as himself, not as Batman, for a case where Mr. Freeze was beaten very
badly by Batman.
Oh.
Wait, so who's being charged here?
No, Mr. Freeze is trying to be cleared of murders.
Oh, right, okay.
That Batman thought he did.
So you're like, why is Bruce Wayne on this?
I just thought it was interesting.
Okay, cool.
It's less like Batman beating up people and more Bruce Wayne going,
what is Batman?
Yeah, right, okay.
You know what I mean?
What is Batman?
He's not British.
Maybe he is.
It's a comic.
I don't know
we've never heard
his speaking voice
in the comic
so
they should have
a turn the page
in a talk
don't you think
yeah for sure
like a kids book
I should say with that show
you're the worst
I did binge watch
three seasons of it
in like
three days
I did that for Lovesick
on Netflix
okay
so
if that's an
illustration of its quality,
I don't know.
Maybe it is,
maybe it isn't.
Sometimes you just put a thing on there.
Sometimes you just put a thing on,
but I don't,
see,
that's the thing.
It doesn't,
it's not a,
it's not a show that I'm
just like tuning out
and leaving the room.
I'm like,
I've got to watch another one of these.
Would you rather watch that?
Yes.
Or watch The Predator,
the movie The Predator?
This.
Okay. Not The Predator. This. Okay.
Not The Predator.
That must be pretty good then.
The Predator was one of your favourite movies of the year.
No, you're rewriting history and you're editing out the things that I said earlier.
It's a terrible movie and bad and I hated it.
Do you want to do letters?
Yeah, let's do some letters.
Oh no.
You got your headphones in you dumbass.
No I don't.
Oh.
Hang on.
This is twice the last.
You did this last week, Mason.
I did it last week, too.
I was not prepared.
Is it so important that your phone be charged that you have to bring a portable charger,
Mason?
Yeah.
I guess it is.
Yeah, that's right.
Is your laptop currently charging?
Mason, I'm not addicted to my laptop the way you are to social media, mate.
I'll tell you this much.
Maybe if you looked up on your phone every now and then.
You've fashioned a large cardboard box into a makeshift VR headset.
You've installed your laptop in it.
So who's,
who's,
who's on the wrong side of history now?
You've got two laptops because.
You'd bloody,
you'd look at a sunset,
a picture of a sunset before you looked at a real bloody sunset,
man.
Yeah.
Cause if you look at the sun,
you go blind.
Yeah.
Oh shit.
Yeah. That's why you have to keep your laptop screen so close to your mate. Yeah, because if you look at the sun, you go blind. Yeah. Oh, shit. Yeah.
That's why you have to keep your laptop screen so close to your face.
Anyway, letters.
The classic one was letters, oh letters, we love you, some letters, they're only a take
away.
I know they're here right now, we're going to do letters.
More like anti-social media is what I'm saying.
Yeah, nice. That being said, social media is really depressing. Yeahsocial media is what i'm saying yeah nice that being said
social media is really depressing yeah it is isn't it these days just grinds it will grind
away just be jokes now it's not jokes anymore it's jokes but it's mostly just mean jokes yeah
and people being sad uh what do we got here uh if you'd like to say hello yeah just go to
weekly planet i'm sad from thinking about social media
I know you are, weeklyplanetpod at gmail.com
or you can hashtag
weeklyplanetpod and we'll find it on the internet
I'm so sad now
this is a tweet from ArizonaScar
I would love if someone
unexpectedly show up to help in
I'm so sad from social media
someone to show up unexpectedly to help in Endgame, someone even... I'm so sad from social media. Someone to show up unexpectedly
to help in Endgame.
Someone like Adam Warlock,
Silver Surfer,
or Lady Death.
Surely there's others in the universe
that are out for Thanos' blood?
I think that's what
the Captain Marvel character is.
I don't know if we're going to get
any surprises and be like,
and it's Thanos' brother, or...
Yeah, I agree.
And it's Adam Warlock,
even though he's introduced
in Guardians 2, sort of.
Yeah, I don't know.
Is that thread going to... Probably. I don't know. Guardians 2, sort of. Yeah, I don't know.
Is that thread going to... Probably.
I don't know.
Is that thread going to play out?
I don't know if it will.
I don't know who knows, because are they using the Guardians script?
Apparently so.
Yeah, right, right, right.
I don't know.
I'm not sure.
What do you think?
Do you want some surprises?
I do want some surprises.
I want some surprises.
I just don't know whether we'll get some surprises.
I want all the surprises.
I don't want any surprises.
No surprises.
Wow.
Yeah. Let me just put my head back into't want any surprises. No surprises. Wow. Yeah.
Let me just put my head back into this cardboard VR box.
Just control my reality.
Yeah, right?
This is from Ryan.
It says, congrats to Nick Mason.
My mom was reading through the New Year's honors list and told me that Nick Mason has
been awarded a CBE.
Other Nick Mason.
What's a CBE?
It's like an Order of the British Empire.
Is he British?
Yes.
He's in Pink Floyd.
The band? Yes. Which one's British Empire. Is he British? Yes. He's in Pink Floyd. The band?
Yes.
Which one's he?
The drummer.
Floyd?
Yes.
What are you doing?
Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting a lot of tweets.
I'm sad from social media.
Yeah, I see.
Right.
I can't think.
Anyway, the other Nick Mason's got a News Honors Award, so good on him.
Do you think we'll ever get awards?
We won a podcast award.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
I didn't really want it, though.
Wow.
Where is that?
What did I...
Did I give it to you?
No, it's on your bookshelf, I think.
What?
I don't have it.
I took a photo with it.
It's not going up in the book...
It's going off the bookshelf.
Oh, can I have it?
No.
All right.
I'd rather destroy it than you have it.
That's what I thought. Oh, we should have it? No. All right. I'd rather destroy it than have it. That's what I thought.
Oh, we should put it in one of those
incredibly powerful drill presses
and crush it for a video.
And we send it to the podcast awards.
Yeah.
Good stuff.
Another letter or do you want me to do a letter?
Yeah, do a letter.
Basura Grande says,
with the potential success of Spider-Verse
and maybe Endgame using multiverses,
do you think this is the potential
next Hollywood wrong lesson learned?
Yes.
I'm going to say yes.
Do you think it is?
I think it's, yeah.
We're seeing it in TV shows, aren't we?
Fringe did it.
Arrowverse is doing it.
But I think it's a fairly constant,
I think it's a fairly consistent trope
Like I
I don't think it's
I don't think
Regular
I don't think we're going to get a spate of movies
Where it's just
You know
A fairly normal action sequence
Or a fairly normal action movie
But then
There's multiple dimensions in it
Yeah right
I think it's been tried a few times
Yeah
Obviously Jet Li's the one
Was the
The prime example of that
The pinnacle.
But I don't think they're going to integrate that into,
or even into superhero movies necessarily.
You don't think it's going to be the new Blue Light in the Sky?
No, I don't think it is.
They've opened a multiverse and an evil version of Superman
has come through and he's got a backwards hat.
This is an email from Sharon.
Okay.
It says, subject line, you're the only people I trust.
So that's good.
I think we're about to get catfished.
But here we go.
So Aquaman came out.
I'm afraid to see it.
I have a horrible fear of sharks.
And to be honest, I don't know that I trust my friends enough to be real with me about the amount of sharks.
There's so many sharks.
So using the only scale that I allow for rating movies, what would you rank this movie based on the amount of frequency of sharks?
It's pretty shark heavy at the end.
There's some sharks at the start of the aquarium.
Yeah.
But they're not actively really going for people, are they?
No, there's background amounts of sharks.
Yeah.
So the rating here, worst movie ever equals good gravy, you will die if you see this movie.
Best movie ever, nah, you're fine.
They are there, but only for a small amount of time and not up close yeah i think you see a little bit up close
but i don't have a crippling fear of sharks so maybe it's one of those sometimes when we're
watching a movie i'm like oh this isn't too bad there is if you've seen the trailer there is the
bit where a shark head butts the the glass in the aquarium that's about as close as you get to the
sharks there are some i mean they're eating crabs at the end in a big battle or whatever.
Yeah, but the battle is so much smoke and noise.
And they're like sharks that are wearing harnesses.
Yes, they're controlled for a lot of time.
They're being controlled by a man.
So if that eases your anxiety at all, it's mostly not shark stuff.
It's mostly not sharks.
But also, if you have a fear of deep sea creatures,
there's big old chompy fish and stuff.
Chompy fish is a big old creature.
Let me tell you.
But it seems to just be sharks.
Mostly sharks.
Anyway, Sharon, good luck.
Good luck.
Good luck to all our listeners
because this is the final episode of the year
and we want to extend a warm and generous thank you.
And a happy new year,
depending on whether you're,
when you're listening to this.
But seriously, Mason.
Yes.
Oh no, what's happening?
He's turning his chair around.
Oh no, he's, oh no,
he's going to be delivering some life lessons
like a cool teacher.
He's, he's straddling his chair backwards.
But seriously, Mason.
Oh, here we go.
It's been a bloody
You know what my favourite part of that would have been
If I didn't mention it at all
Because I know you're relying on me to be like
He's turning around
The fear of the mind
He's turning
If I just stand at you stony faced
And then have been like
Continue
This is
This is my job
Full time
Isn't it right?
Yeah
And I know I probably say this too
much but i i do appreciate it because i get to spend time with my family and live at home and
work from home and uh it's a thing that i really enjoy doing and it's amazing that people listen
to this and it's afforded me opportunities uh to to live a way that means i can be around for
my family more and just do stuff that I like
every day, which I complain because I'm like, oh, I have to break down a trailer.
But it's either that or I have to go shovel manure.
That's very true.
You're only two skills.
I mean, you are so good at it.
I'm one of the best.
And look, I would just like to say thanks everybody for listening because this allows
me to also spend time with my family what that's right
i'm your long lost brother cliffhanger at the end of the episode we'll see you next year you dogs
no that's probably not true it's probably not true yeah yeah yeah probably
are you gonna bring us home for the...
Oh, yeah, for sure.
Anyway, after that bombshell of a revelation...
Can I turn my chair around again or am I stuck like this?
