Like a warm hug, they're back. That's right. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:01:00 Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of The Weekly Planet where we talk movies and comics and TV shows. My name's James Olsen, I'm Mr. Sunday. With me as always is my co-host Nick Mason. You've got to make it interesting, you know what I mean? I'm here too. We don't both have to do it. You can do it differently.
Starting point is 00:01:18 I'm going to do it. I've taken your example and run with it for the whole episode. Did you have a good... It's good to be back. Had fun at the comedy festival. Did you have fun on this Easter weekend, which is continuing to be a long weekend?
Starting point is 00:01:33 I kind of forgot it was Easter weekend. You didn't have any good Easter eggs? Well, your son gifted me an Easter bunny on the way in here, so that was nice, yeah. That's exciting. That's it. That's all you got. You live a sad existence.
Starting point is 00:01:46 I live a sugar-free existence. nice, yeah. That's exciting. That's it. That's all you got. You live a sad existence. I live a sugar-free existence. Okay, yes. I live the best existence there is. That's still sad, though. It's very sad. I don't really do that. I've cut out sugary drinks, but then I'm like, that makes me healthy, doesn't it? Absolutely it does.
Starting point is 00:01:58 Makes a big difference. I guess it does, yeah. So, yeah, this is going to be a bit of a short... Did you have a good Easter? I had a great episode. You had a great episode? I'm going to weekly plan it. That's it. No, yeah, it's great. is going to be a bit of a short... Did you have a good Easter? I had a great episode. You had a great episode? The Weekly Planet. That's it.
Starting point is 00:02:07 No, yeah, it's great. We had everybody around for Easter. This is going to be, because of that, this is going to be a bit of a shorter episode, just news. We were going to do the Stan Lee, Steve Ditko episode, but we wouldn't have done it well. You said, would you like to do some research on that? And I said, absolutely, I would love to do it.
Starting point is 00:02:22 And then it was like, Easter weekend is also like closing weekend of the comedy festival. So I've had four hours sleep. So I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, wasn't super on board for research. Yeah, no, I understand that. You don't want to half-ass that. You want to full-ass it. Full-ass it.
Starting point is 00:02:35 You want to full-ass the Stanley episode. I understand that. I can appreciate it and understand that. So, yeah, so a little bit shorter, most just really a news episode this week. But of course, we're in between big events. Last week was Star Wars Celebration, next week is Endgame. So, yeah, but speaking of, though, we did do an Avengers Infinity War commentary, which synced out of sync multiple times.
Starting point is 00:02:56 Something to do with the frame rate and the service that we used. Anyway, I fixed it. Thank you. So I've re-uploaded it. It's back on Patreon. It's back on Bandcamp. I'll link it below. But if you did pay money for that on Bandcamp,
Starting point is 00:03:09 first of all, you can just press play and play it for free if you want to. Just off the website. But send me the receipt through weeklyplanetpot.gmail.com and I'll send you the email. Send us your receipts. We need the receipts. What are your sources?
Starting point is 00:03:21 Debate us. So yeah, if you want to get that in before it happens. Before it happens. The next one happens. Oh, end game. Yeah, then we can do that. That's very exciting. Yeah, so.
Starting point is 00:03:36 I think a bunch of people also fixed it up outside of me. But I went and I changed it. And one person fixed it up inside of you. That's right. I fixed it up so there is a moment in inside of you. That's right. I fixed it up so, because there is a moment in it when the stream stutters. Yes. And I adjusted the commentary to adjust for that.
Starting point is 00:03:51 Right. So you don't have to pause it. You can just watch it through. Just roll through. Because I'm a genius, it turns out. Well, that sounds like you might be a genius. Sam, my kid's doing it. You all right, bud?
Starting point is 00:04:02 Cool. So we're just in the new studio space. Yeah. And my son's in the other room watching Bluey as Mason and I record this. You might have to explain what Bluey is. Bluey's not a child's entertainer you've brought in. Yeah, he's local. He's fine.
Starting point is 00:04:16 He's drunk, but he's okay. No, it's like the Australian Peppa Pig. It's really funny, actually. I know Levin, well, you said Levin's is a big fan, right? Yeah. I mean, I assume mostly his kid's a big fan but no levin's knows and loves content all right so you guys are just gonna hang out and watch bluey one day we're gonna do it next time he's in melbourne we're gonna do it all right good good uh i forgot to ask if you've seen this but i'm sure somebody sent it to
Starting point is 00:04:38 you uh mackenzie mustache has happened it's taken five years. On the TV series Gotham. That's right. And a groundswell campaign started on this very podcast to get Jim Gordon in a mustache. Exactly. We did it. Then nothing happened for five years. Five years. And then he's done it.
Starting point is 00:04:56 So I'd like to thank the listeners for harassing him specifically, a man who has no production control on that show. He asked about it and they said, no, you'd look ridiculous in it. He asked many years ago. But we've seen it still now and he looks good. Yeah, he looks good. Is that the additional five years on his life? Could very well be.
Starting point is 00:05:12 Five years of life experience means he is a man who can now effectively wear a moustache. I'm going to watch the series finales of Gotham. I don't think I've got the time to watch it all through. But what I love about that is... So you're just going to watch the last episode? Yeah, because they've just gone for it. They like right it's the end the joker's here batman's here gordon's got a mustache this isn't this yeah exactly this isn't a small i hate the
Starting point is 00:05:31 bane look but this isn't a smallville situation yeah right of like you don't really get anything they're doing a big two-parter finale do you think it's just gonna be dark knight rises could be very similar to i don't know wasn't there that you talked about a rumor that it was like an injustice universe or something or that sounds like something i would say yeah you say things yeah okay so you can so what you're committing to the entire last season no no the last two just the last two episodes okay i'm there even then i don't know so you're not committing to anything okay good yeah i'm gonna. Okay, great. Terrific. Oh, thanks to everybody who... What's up, bud? What's up?
Starting point is 00:06:09 That's a big sandwich. You want a big sandwich? Oh. All right, guys. I'm just going to go get a big sandwich for my son. I'll be back. Guys, we're back. I made a big sandwich.
Starting point is 00:06:19 Cool. Are you going to bring in the big sandwich for me now? No, it's not for you, Mason. You don't get a big sandwich. What? For my son. He only gets the big sandwiches in this house. Wow. Do's not for you, Mason. You don't get a big sandwich. What? For my son. He only gets the big sandwiches in this house. Wow.
Starting point is 00:06:27 Do you also get a big sandwich? I don't get big sandwiches. Oh, no. You eat leftover sandwiches over the sink. That's exactly what I do, yeah. I'll eat whatever he doesn't eat of that big sandwich. Which will be all of it. He's going to eat all of the sandwich.
Starting point is 00:06:39 He probably will, yeah. That's probably going to happen a few times in this episode. I hope people don't mind. But there was also a Hobbs and Shaw trailer Speaking of family I didn't think they could make it about family Because it's outside the Fast and Furious mainline story But guess what?
Starting point is 00:06:54 Everybody's got a family Even Statham Yeah, he does They've both got families Yeah Good on them It's funny It's a funny trailer
Starting point is 00:07:03 It is a funny trailer It's got some funny gags. They go down different hallways and have different experiences. They do. With multiple bad guys. Yeah, that's life, isn't it? Everybody goes down a different hallway. They certainly do.
Starting point is 00:07:13 This is based on the Robert Frost poem about the woods. I'm not familiar with that. Okay. Is that that don't go quietly into the... No, it's two roads diverged in a bloody whatever it is. Look, that was a half-formed concept. And I didn't know what it was. Okay, great.
Starting point is 00:07:28 Do people know what it was? The poem. I don't know poems, Mason. The road less travelled. It doesn't matter. The long and winding road. I've had four hours sleep. I'm not bringing my A game.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Which is not to say that I've ever brought my A game. One day I'm going to do it. It's going to be incredible. Oh, speaking of bringing my A game which is not to say that I've ever brought my A game one day I'm going to do it it's going to be incredible oh speaking of bringing my A game yesterday Saturday I was on

Starting point is 00:08:04 you wasted your A game that you were supposed. You said you had a blinder of a bloody episode. I said I had a blinder of an episode. You wasted your A game that you were supposed to use on this podcast. Exactly. I'm just, yeah, I'm just dripping sea game at this point. It's just drizzling out of me. That'll be up Wednesday this week, is it? I don't know, actually. Or are they delaying them more? I think they've got some studio episodes to put up as well.
Starting point is 00:08:19 But I'll let everybody know when it comes out. But in the meantime, just listen to that podcast. Yeah, because it's really good. Exactly. It's good, yeah.

Starting point is 00:08:43 or Caucasian. It's the two. This trailer reveals a lot about the movie, I feel. So if you don't want to know anything about Hobbs and Shaw going in, don't watch it. Time codes down at the bottom if you want to skip ahead. But he goes back to his family. The Rock specifically goes back to his family, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:01 And they do a war dance and then they have a big old punch on. So, yeah. No, I'm really looking forward to this. Yeah. It's got some car action. It's got some on-foot action. Yeah. What else do you want?
Starting point is 00:09:10 It's got a zoom in on what I assume are NOS gauges. Yeah. You know, that's what you want. I love that. Do you remember when we did the Caravan of Garbage on Superfast? Yeah. And one of the NOS gauges was actually Lance Armstrong's pee? Because that was a good joke.
Starting point is 00:09:22 Oh, yeah, I remember that, yeah. That was a 2012 joke in a 2015 movie. I think we got an email from one of the guys in the movie. Which guy? I don't know, I'll find out for you.
Starting point is 00:09:30 Colin sent it to me. Excellent. Yeah, I'll let you know later. Was it angry? He seemed nice about it. Okay, cool. Yeah, but that's always what I worry about.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Well, we did say as we watched it, I think this is in the video, I think this is left in. Yeah. Everybody in that is doing exactly what they did. Like everyone is doing the exact thing think this is left in everybody in that is doing exactly what they did
Starting point is 00:09:45 like everyone is doing the exact thing that they should be doing that's true yeah yeah what else do we get we get sure
Starting point is 00:09:52 Jason Statham has a sister in this yes I'm like is she Jennifer Kirby is that her name I don't know anything is she from Mission Impossible
Starting point is 00:09:59 as well is she Trading Secrets do you think she's a Mission Impossible lady in the Mission Impossible I'm just gonna I'm gonna google Jennifer Kirby assuming that is in fact her name I Do you think she's a Mission Impossible lady? In the Mission Impossible? I'm going to Google
Starting point is 00:10:05 Jennifer Kirby, assuming that is in fact her name. I don't think that's her name. Okay then. No, it's Vanessa Kirby. Vanessa Kirby, okay. Well, Jennifer Kirby's an English television stage actress known for Call the Midwife. Yeah, I was going to say. Alright, here we go. Yeah, she's in Mission Impossible Fallout. They could easily blend
Starting point is 00:10:22 those universes, right? That's true, they could. That's fine, isn't it? Yeah, they could say her sister's a Mission Impossible Fallout. They could easily blend those universes, right? That's true, they could. That's fine, isn't it? Yeah, they could say her sister's a Mission Impossible lady. You know? Exactly. Half-sister, maybe. Incredible. Incredible.
Starting point is 00:10:35 One's Paramount, one's Universal. Okay, well, obviously they couldn't. Helen Mirren's back. Yes. Which is good. She apparently was a big fan of these movies prior to. Why wouldn't you be? She's like, I want in. She's got two eyes, two ears and a heart. Of course she was a big fan of these movies prior to. Why wouldn't you be? She's like, I want in.
Starting point is 00:10:46 She's got two eyes, two ears and a heart. Of course she's a big fan of these. Boy, does she. And she's got La Familia. That's right. The Mirren Familia. The Mirren Familia. We've got here some apparently five minutes.
Starting point is 00:10:56 Well, not apparently, it did. Five minutes of endgame footage leaked. Yeah. For those who have seen it, first of all, shut up. Don't tell us about it. We don't want to know. Don't tell anyone else. Don't tell us about it. We don't want to know. Don't tell anyone else. Don't tell anyone.
Starting point is 00:11:06 Also, come up in the new Great Mates group, which looks like fast becoming the regular Great Mates group. We haven't received the old one back yet. Nah. Who knows? I don't think it's going to happen. No. But there's already 2,000 members back in it.
Starting point is 00:11:19 Yeah, that's right. So we're one-sixth of the way back to where we were before. So that's good. I find it's quicker because this very thing happened to me on my YouTube channel. It's way quicker to get it back than to develop it originally. Okay, right. But the leaked footage, for those who have seen it in that group who didn't spoil it, were like, do not watch this.
Starting point is 00:11:37 Like it will spoil major, major plot points. And then I'm also like, is this a fake out? Did they release this on purpose? So is it five minutes? We don't even know. But it's five minutes. I think throughout. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:50 It's five minutes. So it's not five minutes in a row. No. It's like five scattered minutes. Wow. Who would leak that? What monster would leak that? Well, when Infinity War, before that came out,
Starting point is 00:12:01 the scene was leaked of where the Guardians confront Thanos. And it's Josh Brolin, but he's in the mo-cap suit. He's in the ping-pong balls. So it has happened before. That's pretty embarrassing. I'll probably check it out. We're seeing it tomorrow, aren't I?
Starting point is 00:12:17 I'll probably check it out then, but I've muted all a bunch of words relating to that on Twitter. So I'm staying out of every comment section. And to do that, you had to watch the leaked footage. I had to do it. I had to know what I had to cut out of my life. But I stay out of every comment section.
Starting point is 00:12:34 Because if you jump in a random comment section, someone will be like, Thanos gets his eyes pulled out or whatever. It's more of a Game of Thrones thing. How many episodes of Game of Thrones are left? Five. There's one literally right now. It's recorded.
Starting point is 00:12:48 What do you want? Another big sandwich, please. All right. Excuse me, everybody. I have to go make another big sandwich. You know what they say. If you're going to make one big sandwich, better make two big sandwiches.
Starting point is 00:13:02 Is that like digging two graves? It's like digging two graves, exactly. Oh, you're back with my big sandwich. No, Mason, again, you don't get a big sandwich. Wow. There's only one person in this house that gets a big sandwich. All right? All right, it's the kid.
Starting point is 00:13:15 All right, fine. So endgame footage, don't send it to us. Please don't send us screen caps. We don't want it. No, we wanted it. We could have seen it by now, I feel. Yeah. Okay, what else we got here? The Mandalorian. We don't want it No We wanted it We could have seen it by now I feel Yeah Okay What else we got here
Starting point is 00:13:27 The Mandalorian It is We didn't really talk about this much last week You didn't happen to watch any of the footage did you No It looks incredible Mason There's a few things I want to bring up There's one
Starting point is 00:13:36 There's a bit where IG-88 He's like swiveling at the hip And he's like shooting lots of dudes So for the first time He's moving on screen He's moving on screen Wow That's right
Starting point is 00:13:43 Was it everything you could ever imagine? It really was Yeah There was a recent comic this week A recent comic Yeah, it was this week I don't need to say recent You were right the first time
Starting point is 00:13:52 That's right So Go with your gut instinct It's like a three part comic And one of the stories is an IG-88 story Which is really good That being said, we also don't know if it's IG-88 Because it's a type of droid and whatever
Starting point is 00:14:02 Anyway, if you can find the leaked footage you know how it's like you shouldn't look at leaked footage this one you can look you can look interesting okay right uh but they've also they brought back model ships they're doing it that way oh yeah so they apparently started to like they they kind of came they're like oh maybe if we can give this a go and all these people kind of came out of the woodwork and went what are you guys doing we can help with the model ships. We can do it. I sit in front of a computer. I hate myself.
Starting point is 00:14:28 I'll make a model ship. I don't care. I'll take a model making course. Let's go. Wait, so are these people who are like CGI guys who are like, I also do model spaceships? I don't know. I think it's everybody who's got any ability in this area kind of came out of the woodwork.
Starting point is 00:14:40 Reminds me of, it's very Red Dwarf. I've been going through Red Dwarf lately. Dwarf. Sorry. I know people don't like it. You say it however you want, mate. Really? Because last time I feel like.
Starting point is 00:14:52 But I really enjoy that old school model making kind of stuff. It also looks way better than, there's a switch in Red Dwarf. Yes. Where they change it to CGI. There is, yeah. And it's very, especially going back now, it's like's like whoa that's way worse all right so and i think nowadays the model making and they're way better at lighting and they're way better at and also they can get they could get a physical model and tweak it in cgi or they can tweak this the space around it and stuff like that so that's right like you look at
Starting point is 00:15:21 like lord of the rings a lot of the stuff that's really great in that is they built the real Mount Doom and filmed it as such and then tweaked it by putting a fiery eye on it. Oh, right. You know what I'm talking about. Yeah, I get it. I understand. Red Dwarf adjacent, did you see the... This week there's a lot of tweets about celebrities as inanimate objects. Okay. There's threads of tweets of like, okay, this is Lady Gaga
Starting point is 00:15:45 as various brands of cereal or whatever. And this week there's one that's, it's Rimmer as lamps. So look out for that. Just go on Twitter and look up Rimmer lamp. Is it just lamps with H on the top? No, it's just, just look it up.
Starting point is 00:16:00 I'll check it out. It's good. It's going to be somebody spoiling Endgame in the comments. That's what it is. I've just it out. It's good. It's going to be somebody spoiling Endgame in the comics. That's what it is. While you were making The Big Sand, which I was just trying to find the perfect choice of words to lure you into Endgame spoilers,
Starting point is 00:16:15 and it's Rimmer Lamp. I watched it red dwarf up to when Rimmer leaves. When he becomes Ace Rimmer. But then I don't mind the newer seasons. Yeah, when he's just inexplicably back. When he's just back. But I think he's both versions. It doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:16:28 This is for the two people who watch Red Dwarf and also listen to us. Yeah. FX's The Veil explores the surprising and fraught relationship between two women who play a deadly game of truth and lies on the road from Istanbul to Paris and London. One woman has a secret, the other a mission to reveal it before thousands of lives are lost. FX's The Veil, starring Elizabeth Moss, is now streaming on Disney+.
Starting point is 00:16:58 That's it. Why The Last Man, that being the gambit of the comic book adaptation to the universe, has been cancelled, or it seems, or delayed. The showrunners Michael Green, who worked on Heroes and American Gods, and Ada Kroll, who was working on Luke Cage and Jessica Jones. There was a quote from Kroll that said, Sad news for fans of Why The Last Man today. FX has decided not to move forward with our series in its current form
Starting point is 00:17:27 with a show that has something to say in a time when things must be said. So for those who don't know, Why the Last Man is about there's one person left. One man. He's the last man. Wait, do you only consider men to be persons, James? Yeah. Isn't that what it's about? Is that not right?
Starting point is 00:17:47 No, that's correct. Okay, good. I'm just saying. You don't consider women to be people is what I'm saying. I'm not saying that, but that's what it's about. And that's how I interpret it. And that's what I believe. Okay, good.
Starting point is 00:17:57 Great. That's all I'm saying. All right, good. Yeah, so it's essentially that he's the only man left on Earth. All the other men mysteriously die. Yeah, that's right. For seemingly no reason. For seemingly no reason.
Starting point is 00:18:08 Is it answered in the comics? Probably. I haven't finished it. It is, yeah. Okay, cool. But, yeah, and it's sort of subverting that notion of like, you know, well, if you were the last man in the world, wouldn't that be sexy and, you know? That would be awful.
Starting point is 00:18:23 There's a lot of dead men around you at all times. They're being pushed into ditches. Yeah. So, yeah, that's not happening as of right now. Oh, that's a shame, because it's a good series. Yeah, well, it seems like also it would lend itself more to television than it would film, than a watered-down version of...
Starting point is 00:18:39 That's very true. ...a movie, and then it does okay, then they make another one, and that one doesn't do as well, and they cancel it. Yeah. Which is probably what it would be. Another thing that's been halt. A movie, and then it does okay, then they make another one, and that one doesn't do as well, and they cancel it. Yeah. Which is probably what it would be. Another thing that's been halted, though, is Mouse Guard.
Starting point is 00:18:50 Disney stopped this two weeks before filming. I don't really know. I'm aware of Mouse Guard, but I don't know anything about it. It's medieval mouse nights against, like, eagles and foxes and stuff. Okay, that's fun. Idris Elba and Andy Serkis were on board. Apparently, though, the people who were making this are shopping around to like Paramount and Netflix.
Starting point is 00:19:08 This is just a result of it was happening at Fox. Idris Elba calls himself the Black Danger Mouse. Is that true? Yeah, it's true. That's not, mate, you can't. No, it's true. Mighty Mouse, I should have said Mighty Mouse. Danger Mouse also works.
Starting point is 00:19:21 Yeah, well, they all work, don't they, Mason? That's true, they do. Your jokes, they work on so many levels. Thank you. So they're shopping around apparently to Paramount and Netflix, which is good. That is good. So yeah, this was a Disney-Fox merger cancellation situation.
Starting point is 00:19:38 Cancellation situation. We're probably going to be getting a lot of this. I think we need a new theme tune. Okay. It's a cancellation situation it's who i am the very model of a modern major general oh very good it's very yeah you've you've contributed that yes sorry i contributed you contributed the theme and then somebody else has to do all the other lyrics yes exactly yes okay as long as you're happy with
Starting point is 00:20:01 it all right what else we got here oh back back we got here? Oh, back to the Hobbs & Shaw trailer There's a bit that's very Mad Max Fury Road in it Which bit? The bit where they latch the grappling hooks to the trucks And flip them I don't remember Okay, alright There's a lot to take in in that trailer
Starting point is 00:20:20 So it's not unusual that you might have missed some of it It's like two months out maybe Yeah Who knows, probably a big summer blockbuster kind of situation what hobs and sure yeah what speaking of big summer blockbusters yes dark phoenix has a trailer yep another one is the x-men logo oh my god yeah it's good that had never occurred to me not even once marketing 101 man yeah nice that's how you do it oh Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. It's an improvement. It seems fine.
Starting point is 00:20:47 It seems fine. I don't think it'll be better than average. Yeah, right. It'll be average or below, I believe. But you know what? It would be great if it was really good. Like it was a good send-off to these movies. I agree, yeah. People have fallen in and out of love with multiple times over the 20 years they've been
Starting point is 00:21:03 making these. But some might argue that Logan was also a good send-off. I agree with you on that. And then Deadpool was a nice little bloody... Bit of a dot on the I, you know? Exactly. Bit of a cross of the T. Nice little touch at the end there.
Starting point is 00:21:16 So we know from this trailer that we're going to be getting some epic space stuff and then school and forest stuff. That's exactly right. Front-load your movie with epic space stuff and then school and forest stuff. That's exactly right. Front load your movie with epic space stuff and hope people leave before the regular, the forest and school stuff. That's right.
Starting point is 00:21:33 Returning characters who aren't aging, they're all back. They all look amazing. It's the 90s again. Mystique clearly dies. That was in the last trailer. But we do get Nightcrawler Fightcrawler. So he's teleporting, stabbing people like he used to do.
Starting point is 00:21:49 Yes. Like in that second X-Men movie. So they're doing some old favourites, some classics. The greatest hits. Which you would imagine they would do in a movie that is a remake of some of the elements of all the other movies. Yeah, of course you would. Because we also get Magneto. He's on a train and Jean Grey's doing the Wolverine thing.
Starting point is 00:22:09 Yeah, yeah. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah. And then she flings him back. It's like in the first X-Men. She rips his helmet off. Yeah. And does what appears to be flinging all the fragments at his nuts.
Starting point is 00:22:19 Nice. That's what it looks like. I would. You would. You would. You absolutely would. And of course, if we're talking greatest hits it's a lot of cyclops just yelling gene in the trailer that's what you want yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:22:32 it looks it does look pretty good and i enjoy the fact that that uh that it opens with professor x going hello nasa it's us the x-men we're here to save you. And Asher will be like, no, no, no. You guys are weird. Gross to the touch. Yeah, that's right. We don't want that. Yeah. So look, anything can be anything.
Starting point is 00:22:54 Anything can be anything. As we've established on this podcast, our trademark phrase, anything can be anything. Of course, we should also. The phrase, the ultimate cop out phrase. Yes. So we don't have to reveal any real opinions. But the other thing is as well, you say, we say,
Starting point is 00:23:11 it heralds the last of these version of the X-Men movies, but we're also getting Ghost School. We are getting New Mutants Ghost School. Yeah, that's true. At some point? Yeah, later in the year. Do you want to put that a bit closer? I think it's snuck away from you.
Starting point is 00:23:23 Oh, hello. There we go, we're back again. It's this new space. It's getting used to it all. Yeah. And also we have like, we've got all sorts of soundproofing tiles. But they're not stuck up. They're not stuck up.
Starting point is 00:23:34 I have propped them to be like, will this do anything? Probably not. There's some in the middle of the desk, which I think only serves to insulate the sound from each other. Yes, that's right. That's what we want, though. That's fine, though, because we've just got to get it into the bloody microphones, mate. We don't have to hear each other.
Starting point is 00:23:51 It's not about that. We're just going to make sure everybody else can hear us. Yes. Finally, this is what the podcast was meant to be. Just two idiots shouting their opinions and no one else hearing them. So, a few bits of Swamp Thing news. Yeah. First one being...
Starting point is 00:24:06 One, it's cancelled probably. Well, they ceased production early. Okay. They went a few episodes short. They were like, we nailed this. We nailed this in three. So, don't even worry about it. Two and a half.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Yeah. So, it's probably budgetary, people are suspecting. Okay. It could also be that it's bad and they're like let's not waste any more money on it but yeah right uh the people involved in it were surprised there was one thing he was surprised he was like what another big sandwich we're going he's gonna eat me out of big sandwiches how many big sandwiches can this kid put away all right guys
Starting point is 00:24:41 look i don't want to i mean live your life I mean, if you eat too many bloody big sandwiches, I reckon you're going to turn into a bloody big sandwich. He's already left the room. He's gone. He's gone. He's already waiting on the couch for his big sandwich. I'll be back. All right.
Starting point is 00:24:54 We're back. All right. Third time's a charm. I didn't bring you a big sandwich either this time. I guess third time isn't a charm. Where were we at? Swab thing. All I can think about is big sandwiches
Starting point is 00:25:05 Maybe they shut down production Of their show that people like Because no one brought them a big sandwich Possible It's entirely possible Yep It's probably budgetary Because they're going to have a big gloopy monster
Starting point is 00:25:18 Is that the issue here? Are you having budgetary problems? Yes, that's right Couldn't get me a big sandwich And may very well be We did get a teaser for this though very short look yeah what do you think it looks good yeah it does but it doesn't look much different from like the the 80s movie version of swan thing no but that's that's not a
Starting point is 00:25:36 terrible costume for the era i agree we're gonna probably cover that for caravan of garbage i've never seen it so yeah i don't know where i'm at. Who made that? It's famous-ish, isn't it? Because somebody... Would it be like a Spielberg? Let's look it up. Yeah, it's a Spielberg. It's a Spielberg. And then didn't it get like a...
Starting point is 00:25:53 Was there a short TV series spin-off or something? Wes Craven directed it. That's right. There we go. Wes Craven. The Steven Spielberg of Swamp Thing movies. That's right. So there we bloody go.
Starting point is 00:26:06 Yes. I've read some of the Alan Moore stuff, which this is probably based off. Yeah, right. But it seems to be the kind of definitive run which has leaked over into all other aspects. Well, I cannot wait for more people to interview Alan Moore and be like, what do you think of this new thing that's been adapted from your work and just him to cry? And he's just crying into his crystals. Yeah, exactly. Whatever he's up to.
Starting point is 00:26:30 Yeah, he is. But no, I don't think it's a problem with the DC streaming service necessarily. Like people are saying, well, does that mean it's in trouble? I don't know the numbers on that. I don't know how many people have signed up. We haven't. Is it here now? It's not here, I don't think. No, I would sign up for it today. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:45 Because I want to watch Doom Patrol. Because didn't they also recently announce that over the next year they're going to put on literally every comic? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But also, Titans and Doom Patrol
Starting point is 00:26:54 are very well received. That's true. Titans, it took some time to warm up, but you like it. I like it. You keep trying to make me watch it. So you never will. I will.
Starting point is 00:27:02 I'll get there. I've got to finish Red Dwarf and I've got to watch the one episode of Doom Patrol I got sent. Oh, okay, cool. watch it yes and you never will i will i'll get there i gotta i gotta finish red dwarf and i gotta watch the one episode of doom patrol i got sent oh okay cool i'll send that to you maybe i think i did potentially sure check your twitter i'll check it i'll check my dms yeah but i think i sent it over to you all right cool so i think that this is the one that i'm most interested in of the three that they've made so far really yeah why is that because titans is kind of like i've seen you've seen it i've seen like arrow ish kind of stuff yeah okay right and doom patrol i watched umbrella academy okay yeah that's true they're probably not the same i know that
Starting point is 00:27:35 well they're not the same but at the same time did we mention this show it's interesting that gerard way was inspired to create the umbrella academy because of because of Doom Patrol. Oh, isn't that right? And then he wrote Doom Patrol for when they brought Doom Patrol back for Young Animal. We may have mentioned it. We may have mentioned it. Well, you would have mentioned it. We may mention it every week.
Starting point is 00:27:52 I certainly didn't mention that. Here we bloody go. I love the Suicide Squad news. Oh, yes. Because it's happening. John Cena is apparently... I'm sorry, go on. I was going to say, side note,
Starting point is 00:28:04 co-creator of Swamp Thing was Len Wein, who also co-created Wolverine. And I've just gone to his Wikipedia page and his featured photograph is him with a Swamp Thing cosplayer. Excellent. It's pretty good, right? That is really good. And he's got some Wolverine chops going on.
Starting point is 00:28:21 Do you think that's where it started? Maybe that's where it started. I'm going to give him my look. I'm going to make this. If I ever create a superhero, he's going to look a man who looks older than he should. Yeah, absolutely. I'm going to bloody make a superhero that looks like a Civil War musketeer. John Cena is apparently in talks for the Suicide Squad.
Starting point is 00:28:42 He's made the transition, I feel. Not a lot of wrestlers do. It's like him, Batista, The Rock, Hulk Hogan for a second. Yeah, right. Exactly. In the 90s, maybe. Yeah. But probably not.
Starting point is 00:28:54 So John Cena's going to be the suburban commando, the newest recruit to the Suicide Squad. Dave Batista was apparently going to take on this particular role but can't do it for scheduling reasons. Because he's so busy now. He is. Even though he's quit wrestling, he's out. Oh, that's right.
Starting point is 00:29:09 He had his big finale, right? But I'm sick of falling through tables because I'm 48 years old. I shouldn't do it. But Peacemaker was the role that's worth it. Oh, yeah. Okay, cool. What's Peacemaker? What kind of big gun does Peacemaker have?
Starting point is 00:29:21 He's got a number of guns. Often he has two guns. So Peacemaker, I think maybe we've discussed this. Peacemaker is the character that the comedian was based on. Oh, we definitely have. In Watchmen. Yes. So he's that.
Starting point is 00:29:32 He's kind of like a gun-toting. He's usually a gun-toting government agent. Right. So that's fun. So maybe he is the, maybe this is the Rick Flag role in this? I think there is. I think Rick Flag is doing the Rick Flag role. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:29:42 I think Joel Kinnaman's back. Okay, well then two Rick Flagg roles. Too many or not enough? The exact correct amount. Because what you want in a Suicide Squad, again, a team that has been built potentially to destroy Superman if necessary, is another regular man with a gun. And mental health issues, if I recall correctly.
Starting point is 00:30:00 Fantastic. I'm going to look up Peacemaker real quick. You want Dog Welder, don't you? We love Dog Welder from the Hitman comic book and from the Section 8 superhero team of people with mental health issues. Wonderful. Yeah. Peacemaker.
Starting point is 00:30:16 Yeah. What is it when it's at home? Okay, let's bloody talk about Peacemaker. My son's gone as well everybody. There was a pause there. We kicked him out. He's going to have to fend for himself. Make his own big sandwiches in the wild. That's right. Out of tan bark.
Starting point is 00:30:32 He's going to go away for a while, and when he comes back, he's going to be stronger than ever. That's right. And he's going to come back with the biggest sandwich ever, and you're going to be so proud, and you're going to eat it over the sink, the leftovers in front of him, and he's going to be so proud and you're going to eat it over the sink the leftovers in front of him and he's going to he's going to be proud absolutely the peacemaker first appeared as a backup series in charlton comics espionage team title fighting five pretty good
Starting point is 00:30:55 right that's pretty good pretty good uh so there's been more than one peacemaker so the most recent one i believe has there been more than one of literally every comic book character? Name another one. Spider-Man. Yeah. One of the most iconic characters. Yeah, there's been another one. And one was in the most recent Blue Beetle series, so it might be that version.
Starting point is 00:31:14 Right. I think there's been two or three, but the general gist is their ethos is something along the lines of like, loves peace so much, they're willing to kill for it. You know, one of those guys. So he's like, loves peace so much they're willing to kill for it. You know one of those guys. So he's like, well, I'll do some murders. But the original one, he came to believe that, because he wears this like big dome helmet kind of situation,
Starting point is 00:31:34 and he came to believe that everyone he killed, their spirits entered the helmet and would like give him advice and stuff. Oh, that's very good. Or be like, stop this. Bloody stop it you shot me don't shoot anyone else don't shoot anyone else i can appreciate that so oh cool yeah and then then he he died and then he appeared in either hell or purgatory during one of those uh you know you know one of those dc crossover events where everybody ends up in hell or they
Starting point is 00:32:01 have to go to hell to get something or like the devil comes out of hell and he's like, hey, you want some... You have to get something. You want something? You want some cool stuff? Give me some stuff. You know what the devil's always about. The devil's always like... I never get why anybody
Starting point is 00:32:13 would do a deal with the devil. Like, I don't understand it. Because you know he's just going to get you. He's eventually going to get you. He's eventually going to get you. Yeah. And he says that ahead of time. He says, do you want money, fame, power?
Starting point is 00:32:24 But remember, I'm eventually going to get you. It. And he says that ahead of time. He says, do you want money, fame, power? But remember, I'm eventually going to get you. It's on his business cards. The devil, eventually going to get you. Eventually going to get you. You wouldn't sell your soul to the devil for anything? No. Oh. If there was definitive proof of an afterlife, which means there would be eternal damnation
Starting point is 00:32:42 in this particular case. That's true, yeah. I don't want that. Say I have, hypoth another good 50 years yeah like that's that's a decent scenario right yeah and then it's forever literally that's true yeah exactly timeless yeah like just an infinite exactly pain and suffering and yeah and he's like i told you i was gonna get you eventually gonna get you you might you make it sound quite bad now that you've really run through the paces. What would you sell yourself for? Well, no, exactly.
Starting point is 00:33:08 I'd probably do it for somebody else, I guess. Oh, yeah. But even then. Yeah. It'd have to be someone pretty special, Mason. No, Mason. If I'm not making you a big sandwich, I'm not selling myself for you. Wow.
Starting point is 00:33:21 Wow. I thought it would be one or the other, you know. No, you're right. If there was definitive proof, then that would mean that there exists, you know, a heaven and a hell and et cetera, and you don't want to end up in the bad place. You want to end up in the good place. I wouldn't even do it for, like, if there was a 10% chance that there was an infinite horrible place.
Starting point is 00:33:38 Right, okay. Those aren't good. 5% chance. Nah. 1% chance. Nah, because it's a trick. He's going to get you. He's going to get you, isn't he?
Starting point is 00:33:44 Yeah. Exactly, yeah. You're going to be like, isn't he? Yeah. Exactly, yeah. You're going to be like, you thought it said 1%, but it said 100%. Eventually going to get you. And then he runs. He's gone. My goodness, it's an ad time. Not just an ad, a story.
Starting point is 00:33:57 Oh, I'd love to hear a story. But it's also an ad. Good. I think we established last time. We did, but I just want to make sure. As a child, I was told many stories, which I later have discovered were ads. Mostly about Frosty Fruits or whatever. Exactly, yes.
Starting point is 00:34:08 The adventures of that tiger, Tony the Tiger. Tony the Tiger. Yeah. You're thinking of Frosties. I don't, look, it's not, I'm thinking of Marine Layer. That's my problem, Mason. That is your problem. I'm thinking of sweet and soft clothing.
Starting point is 00:34:19 You've been thinking of nothing else for weeks. And neither have I. I've been wearing that Marine Layer. I'm wearing one right now. Very nice. Actually, I want to get a- You're in a Henley. I am.
Starting point is 00:34:28 Like a cool surf dude. It's one of my faves. Pretend you're Matthew McConaughey. That's right. Two guys, Mike and Adam, in 2009, they set out to make the perfect tee. I took them here to nail the custom fabric. And once they did get that, they bought an old VW bus to transport them, which is incredible, Mason. Is that editorialising?
Starting point is 00:34:47 That's me throwing it on top. I'm throwing it on top. They built a brand around these absurdly soft shirts. And now they don't just make tees, they make Henleys, jackets, pants, sweaters. You get it. It's all designed. I get it. I'm aware of clothes.
Starting point is 00:35:03 None of those words confuse me. The Marine Layer Workshop in San Francisco. Right. I had a flannel. Right. You had a flannel? Yeah, had. I took it to, I went to a wedding.
Starting point is 00:35:14 Did Claire steal it? I went to a wedding and I think I left it. You didn't bring a present. Yes, I took the best thing I had. No present will take the shirt off your back. And you're like, oh. But I think I left it at a hotel.
Starting point is 00:35:26 I'm really upset. To be clear, you didn't wear the shirt to the wedding. No, I didn't. You didn't wear a plaid flannel shirt to a wedding. It was like my next day shirt.
Starting point is 00:35:34 Like I want a nice soft shirt I can roll into in the morning. To be hung over in. Yeah, exactly. And you left it in there. Okay, right. Yeah, so I'm really.
Starting point is 00:35:41 So somebody out there has got an incredible shirt for free. Sounds a bit. So my point is that I'm just going to buy the exact same one again. Yeah. Because I really liked it. Also, the softest tees are made from trees. Did you know that, Mason?
Starting point is 00:35:54 Micromodal. Oh, I do know that. Oh, okay. Found in Marine Lay's signature fabric. It's a blend of recycled beech wood. And the pulp production is self-sufficient. Like Matthew McConaughey. Like Matthew... Exactly. He's recycled beech wood. And the pulp production is self-sufficient. Like Matthew McConaughey. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:36:05 He's recycled beech wood. Which makes their teas sustainable, eco-friendly, and soft. Also, they have in-between sizes like marger. No, sorry, marge and larger. Yeah, if you're thin but tall. That's right. Or if you're wide but tall. Tall.
Starting point is 00:36:21 Those two things. And their return policy is really good. You can pretty much return anything up to a year. Bloody hell Those two things. And their return policy is really good. You can pretty much return anything up to a year. Bloody hell. I know. That's incredible. Also, they offer free shipping and free returns in the US, which is pretty bloody good. Man, I've been wearing the heck out of it.

Because there is always. We already had Star Wars news. We had the Mandalorian news. Oh, yeah. Or does that not count? More Star Wars news.
Starting point is 00:37:47 Sorry, normally I group these together. It's been a big week for all of us. It's been a huge week. Kathleen Kennedy has confirmed through an interview that some form of Knights of the Old Republic is in development. Right, okay. Movie or TV show. And we don't know if it's the Game of Thrones guys. We don't know if it's different guys.
Starting point is 00:38:05 I was going to say KOTOR to see if you knew. If I said KOTOR, did that mean anything to you? Yeah, Knights of the Old Republic. Okay, now you know. But would you have known 20 seconds ago? I knew! I knew what the Knights of the Old Republic is. Okay.
Starting point is 00:38:15 I know what it is. Is it a comic book? And probably a video game? Probably, yeah. Probably? The thing is, this is a no-win scenario. If she didn't... No, sorry. She said the right thing.
Starting point is 00:38:27 Because if she had said no, people would have been like, well, that's the only thing that I want. Exactly, yeah. And she hasn't committed to anything. She's been like, we're looking at something. They've developed a bunch of stuff that has been cancelled as of so far.
Starting point is 00:38:43 And she hasn't even confirmed the media that it'll be in. No. So either movies or TV. Could be trading cards. Could be one of those trading card app things or whatever. Not the trading cards themselves, but the bubble gum. It's going to be embossed with Knights of the Old Republic. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:38:57 Knights of the Old Republic. Very good. I thought you said you only got four hours sleep. That's crazy. Yeah, I know, right? Do you think that before all the Star Wars executives go on the press tour, do you think they open up one of the drawers on their oak panel desk and get out a Star Wars T-shirt and they take their blazer off
Starting point is 00:39:20 and they put the Star Wars T-shirt on, they put the blazer back on? Definitely. Just so they're ready. So we're business. We're all business but we're all we're fans there's a little bit of fun don't even worry about it look at this of course got r2d2 on me that's fun isn't it yeah i i never thought about that but absolutely they have to or do they show up yeah and and an aid provides them with a star wars t-shirt. Oh, that may be it too. Do they buy the Star Wars t-shirt at Kmart
Starting point is 00:39:47 or do they have specially made executive Star Wars t-shirts? Like a micromodal situation. Micromodal situation, exactly. Was that ad before or after this comment? I don't know. Who knows? Who knows? But if it's after, you're all in for a treat later.
Starting point is 00:40:02 Mate, you guys are going to love it. Bit of a call forward there. And who doesn't love that? Taika Waititi apparently has pitched Thor 4 to Marvel, presumably. Yes. Not just his family. Right, so get this. Tessa Thompson says that.
Starting point is 00:40:19 Okay, all right. So you bloody go. So we'll be seeing her again in Endgame and then Thor 4, I guess. Men in Black International. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Maybe it's a good one. Maybe it is a good one.
Starting point is 00:40:31 So that's not really surprising. He's also working on Akira at the moment, though. That's right. So did we talk about that? Yeah, briefly. Side note, do we have any more Hellboy updates? Is it going well or not well? Very poorly.
Starting point is 00:40:42 We do have a question relating to it. Okay, later. Okay, we'll take it later. All right. That sounds hope it's doing better it's not oh it's doing really bad i had hoped it was gonna go better no it's really bad has the rotten tomato score gone up i wonder does that matter probably i don't think that matters at all no but i'm just curious made money okay i'll find out the box office keeps coming up with the original one. Do you mean Hellboy 2004? No. Most people mean that.
Starting point is 00:41:06 Yes. Box office. Hellboy plunges 68% in the second week. That's not good, is it? No, sir. Worldwide total of $30 million against 50. That's not great, is it? No, it's really not.
Starting point is 00:41:19 Maybe it'll do well on video. It made $3.88 million in its second weekend. Oh, boy. That may be also why last week's episode isn't getting just amazing downloads. Wow, okay. Actually, it's doing all right because we did Star Wars Celebration. I think it's doing all right. Maybe it's because people have fond memories of the Guillermo del Toro version of the Weekly Planet.
Starting point is 00:41:39 Oh, right. And he won that award and then people are like, what about these two idiots? I prefer that version. Oh, yeah. If I'm honest also. 14% Rotten Tomatoes. Okay. So Thor 4.
Starting point is 00:41:49 I feel like that character has been reinvigorated. Do you think they're just going to call it 4? 4. Thor. 4. Do you think he'll break the Thor-thwall? He'll break the Thor-thwall. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:00 Thank you. Hello, audience. It's me, Thor. I thought you were exhausted from making big sandwiches but you still brought your egg out I still got it they've got me secretly eating big sandwiches inside oh my god
Starting point is 00:42:12 so I'm the only one in this house who hasn't had a big sandwich today is there anything you want to see from Thor 4? maybe a beta Ray Bill it's time isn't it? like it's time i think so it's been long enough and we saw we saw the teaser of him like he was one of the his alien race was on the grandmaster's yes headquarters spire kind of situation one of them in like a skeleton of one in the first guardians oh yeah right uh-huh yeah at the very start yeah i'd like to see a beta ray bill i mean uh you know potentially if, if Thor is going to retain his axe,
Starting point is 00:42:50 what happened to the fragments of Mjolnir, his magical hammer? Maybe they go to somebody else. Really good point. I mean, we could go Jane Foster as Thor. Maybe Thor's like, I'm not Thor anymore. I'm not the Thor. I'm Thor Odinson. Maybe Thor's like, I'm not Thor anymore. I'm not the Thor. Yeah. I'm Thor Odinson.
Starting point is 00:43:06 Maybe the superhero Thor can be somebody else. Maybe one of those slivers of Mjolnir get picked up by a frog. Throg. Throg, that's right. Throg and Throg. Throg and Throg. Throg and Throg. That's what this podcast has been reduced to.
Starting point is 00:43:19 When one or both of us has a long week or a bad night, it's just us going what else what what else could we do then i think you lean into the weirdness and the funniness yeah well the big event so much of that the big event currently in marvel comics is the war of the realms so that's a very thor heavy okay uh situation i had no idea what's going on So what's going on in the Marvel Comics at the moment? Well, it's the Dark Elf, Malekith. He's back. He's back, baby. He's saw the Dark World.
Starting point is 00:43:50 How's his half face? It's good. It's looking real, real, real right down the middle, you know? Oh, it's not like a... Because it's not a weird scar burn like it is in the movies, is it? No, in the comic books, it's like split vertically down the middle. Yeah, yeah. It's black on one side, white on the other side.
Starting point is 00:44:02 Gotcha. Yeah, it's good. Okay. It's a war for the realms! So you reckon they're going to bring back Malekith? No, he's definitely back. He's in it. No, I mean for the middle. It's black on one side, white on the other side. Gotcha. Yeah, it's good. Okay. It's a war for the realms! So you reckon they're going to bring back Malekith? No, he's definitely back. He's in it. No, I mean from the movies.
Starting point is 00:44:09 Oh, in the movies, maybe. How did he die in the last one? He exploded in blood or something. Okay, cool. He had too much power? Yeah, probably had too much power. That's often the way it goes, isn't it? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:44:18 Yeah, okay. Maybe, I don't know. Silly cosmic stuff. Yeah. Just let Taika Waititi do his thing. Yes. It doesn't have to be an adaptation of anything. No. Maybe thatilly cosmic stuff. Yeah. Just let Taika Waititi do his thing. Yes. It doesn't have to be an adaptation of anything. No.
Starting point is 00:44:27 Maybe that's the key. Yeah. Just let him do something. Well, yeah, Ragnarok was loosely Planet Hulk and Ragnarok. Yeah. So just let him bloody off the chain. Let him do anything he wants. I'm going to watch that again.
Starting point is 00:44:39 I feel like I'd enjoy it more. Still good. As time goes on. Now, I've saved the best bit of news for last. Oh, hello. Travis Knight, who you know for directing the Bumblebee movie yeah and kuba on the two strings yes he's directing mark walberg in the six billion dollar man it's finally happening i like the idea of the six billion dollar man i don't like the idea of mark walberg what if they give him the six billion dollar surgery to make him taller oh Oh, yeah. To stretch out his ankle.
Starting point is 00:45:06 Oh, yeah. That'd be pretty fun. That'd be good, yeah. Okay. All right. Why did I put this news last? Why did you put this news last? Couldn't tell you, to be honest.
Starting point is 00:45:15 All right. I'm done with Mark Wahlberg. Oh, man. I'm doing that thing where I went to see if there's more news. Yes. Because Game of Thrones is on right now. I tried to stay off the internet the first half. Did you just get spoiled for Game of Thrones?
Starting point is 00:45:25 No, I didn't. There was one picture of one of the characters. And I'm like, that's fine. I can deal with that. Was it Bran? It wasn't Bron. Or Bran. There's a Bran and a Bron.
Starting point is 00:45:32 Okay, right. Well, I asked you specifically if it was Bran. I'm telling you. The fact that you said it wasn't Bron leads me to believe that it was Bran. It wasn't Bran or Bron. Okay, right. She's not a witch. I was going to say she's a witch.
Starting point is 00:45:44 She's not a witch. The whitehead one. The main one. Whitey witch. Whitey witch. Okay, right. She's not a witch. I was going to say she's a witch. She's not a witch. The whitehead one. The main one. Whitey Witch. Whitey Witch. Yeah, I remember. So the $6 billion man has been, well, it was million for a while, and then it was a parody because it was going to be they built a crap version of him.
Starting point is 00:45:57 Yeah, right. But now it looks like if it's Mark Wahlberg, he's going to be the real deal. The real deal, yeah. Bionic eyes, Big Jumps. Yeah. What else? That was that TV show. That's the slogan.
Starting point is 00:46:09 We're done. We've made the poster. Bionic Eyes, Big Jumps. What else? Just imagine. Yeah. Come in and see. So there was by...
Starting point is 00:46:21 The Bionic Woman was a TV series. Yeah. Which I remember quite enjoying at the time. I remember being at... Katie Sackhoff was in it. And Holmes. Yes. No, just Sackhoff.
Starting point is 00:46:31 Just Sackhoff. And were there implications? And she only had like one arm and two legs or something. That's the model of the $6 million man and woman. Is it? Yeah. They're not all replaced. No.
Starting point is 00:46:42 Well, okay. So the original... Because isn't... Okay. So the original $6 million man, he had two replacement legs. Yeah. One replacement arm. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:50 One bionic eye. Yes. Bionic woman. One arm. Two replacement legs. One bionic arm. One bionic ear. That's right.
Starting point is 00:46:58 So the TV version, if I recall, they actually went, hey, wouldn't it, isn't it kind of weird that this guy's got one bionic arm that he can lift a car and it doesn't tear his arm off yes and so i believe in the tv series the bionic woman had like a like a nanotech mesh throughout her so she had the bionic legs bionic arm bionic ear but also she could lift a car great with both arms just the one arm i think i was gonna say yeah yeah yeah but i think i believe katie sackhoff's version was like a prototype version she was like all she had it all yeah man she had it all she had a husband she had a career she had a kid how did she make it happen i don't know she had a mummy blog whoa that's right yeah i better go to the gym i bet her instagram is fire probably do you reckon it's fire yeah it's probably it's definitely fire. Yeah, good. Great. Okay, well, I'm not excited for that.
Starting point is 00:47:46 Well, too bad, Mason. But I'm excited to see if Bionic Woman is on any streaming services so I can watch one episode and go, that was about as good as I remember and not watch any more. That being said, fine, yeah. All right, well, we're out of news. Okay. But we're not out of time.
Starting point is 00:48:00 Okay. What are we going to do, Phil? Or segments. Okay. We've got what we read in what we're gonna read yeah i'm doing the thing what are we reading today great great what do you got um end game is number one obviously no bloody cop out mate it's like the time I said Game of Thrones. Last week.
Starting point is 00:48:26 Last week. Yeah. Mortal Kombat 11 is out as well, I believe. Oh, yeah. But I don't want to commit any time to that. Or should I? If I buy it today, that'll distract me until tomorrow. Yes. And then I won't get spoiled for any time.
Starting point is 00:48:40 Have you been watching the Game of Thrones? No. I'm going to watch it at the end, like every single time. Well, if you want after this, while I edit this podcast, you can just watch the first episode at my house if you want. Okay, then. If you're not doing anything, I'll just put it on. Sounds good.
Starting point is 00:48:51 All right. Okay. Will anyone make me a big sandwich? No one's making you sandwiches, mate. No one's making that. I just want to have a big sandwich. When we go down the road and get a big sandwich. Yeah, go into a shop and ask have a big sandwich. When we go down the road and get a big sandwich. Yeah, go into a shop and ask for a big sandwich.
Starting point is 00:49:08 See how that goes down. What do you want on it? It doesn't matter. Big sandwich? I'm going to do it toddler style. Big sandwich. Big sandwich. Big sandwich.
Starting point is 00:49:20 And then I just wave money at them until they make me a big sandwich. So yeah, Mortal Kombat 11. I'm torn on this because I like these games. They're great and I like NetherRealm Studios. I don't like a bunch of how they unlock characters down the line and do microtransactions. I don't know the actual setup for this one, so I shouldn't say that. But I also like the Injustice games.
Starting point is 00:49:40 And I love an interview with Ed Boon. He's always like, back in the 90s, people were like, you're making kids kill themselves or whatever because you know Mortal Kombat was a big deal in the 90s and now we kind of
Starting point is 00:49:52 look back and go that's kind of quaint isn't it yeah look at that head pop off isn't that fun he's talked about doing I saw him in an interview
Starting point is 00:50:00 talking about doing the photorealistic you know the way they used to do it, whatever that is. Digitizing. Rotoscoping, probably. Whatever that was. It wasn't that. It was something else.
Starting point is 00:50:10 Okay, right. They took pictures. Ray tracing. They took pictures of people and they put them in games. I think they should make like. Photo taking. There's a dude who does 3D versions of old games and he did one for the original Mortal Kombat.
Starting point is 00:50:24 So it looks like mortal combat except they make the all the environment all the characters 3d and i think that would be really interesting style to make a retro version of mortal combat combat but it's in a it's it's got a three it's got depth to it not that i don't want sidesteppy plat combat oh yeah right you want an original recipe combat yeah you just want i'll show you after the the show okay after the show okay i'm excited for i i because i haven't played a mortal combat in some time yeah i might be confused by that because apparently there's branching timelines now and it's the old oh okay combat characters versus the like it's the it's the original versions of the mortal combat characters from back in the day versus the new ones.
Starting point is 00:51:05 Is that what's in the new one? Apparently. Okay, cool. Because some of the trailers... There's an evil Raiden or something? Raiden's gone evil, yeah, at this point. But there's a trailer where we see modern-day Scorpion defeat somebody and then he's immediately killed by original recipe Scorpion.
Starting point is 00:51:17 Oh, no. So what the heck's going on? What the heck is going on? I also want to see somebody... I just saw a fatality where uh shao khan hammers a guy's head yeah real hard into the ground and then kicks his head through his butt and he said comes out his butt yeah i know right check this out i'm ready this is from uh bitplex i believe oh yeah credit where credit is due so it looks like regular mortal combat wow
Starting point is 00:51:43 but then it oh yeah i get it he's three he's rotoscoped it's not that it's a different thing but don't you think that's a really interesting look is this playable no it's just a it's a like a demo tech demo okay right okay i'll be honest it doesn't look that interesting but i'm glad he's made it i don't find it he's got 721 000 views you don't know anything. I don't find it that interesting. He's got 721,000 views. You don't know anything and this guy knows everything. It seems he knows everything. Shut up. No, I get it.
Starting point is 00:52:08 Anyway, Mortal Kombat. Mortal Kombat. So you will get it. I'll get it. I'm going to get it on Switch. And I'll get Titanfall 2 because you keep insisting. Yes.
Starting point is 00:52:13 And Metro Exodus. Which one? The new one? Whatever the new one. Yeah, I don't know. Whatever. There's bloody Game of Thrones reviews everywhere, mate.
Starting point is 00:52:20 I can't. No. Oh my goodness. This is a bad time to be on the internet. So. What are you going to be on the internet. So. What are you going to be reading? I think I'm going to get on Switch so I can have it on the go.
Starting point is 00:52:30 Oh, yeah. Or I can sit in the bath. You know what I mean? Sit in a hot tub. Sit in a hot tub. Yeah. You got your bath. You got your Switch.
Starting point is 00:52:38 You got whatever lunchtime meal you've prepared for yourself or a good friend has prepared for you. Sure. You know? I get it. Yeah uh this is unrelated because i said hot tub which made me think sauna which made me think about how i was thinking of going to get a sauna because there's a local one right it's the infrared sauna for a moment there i thought you meant you're going to get a sauna built into your backyard people do that i'm aware of what it's not crazy expensive oh no i've like briefly
Starting point is 00:53:05 looked into it put the idea in his head i'll never use it but this is an infrared sauna it's like a different sauna it's for calorie burning and it's for good for whatever i don't know is it good for anything it's probably horseshit it's good for sitting around with a lot of overweight naked men that's what i have no shame that's what i like they should have shame but they don't anyway i looked into it. So I'm like, oh, maybe I'll book a few sessions because I'm trying to get back into the fitness after my surgery, Mason. Yeah, right. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:53:34 Don't you think steam's going to pour out of your surgery holes? It's very possible. Well, how else am I going to know? I'd rather be in a controlled environment. That's true. And you're like, oh, steam out of my surgery holes. Yeah, exactly. So I looked into it and for 45 for for 45 minutes it's 45 dollars for a session like a minute is that good i don't think so because i feel like a regular sauna you
Starting point is 00:53:53 just go to the local pool slash scan your card scan your card it's like six bucks a week and you just do whatever 45 minute 45 bucks for is it just you in there i think they're maybe that's what you're paying for i think i think it is mostly you but you in there? I think they're free. Maybe that's what you're paying for. I think it is mostly you, but I looked at the bookings. They're all free. So I don't know what's going on. I still kind of want to try it, but then I'm like,
Starting point is 00:54:12 maybe I can crowdfund this. Yeah, for sure. Yes. Put it out there. If we get $45 more in the Patreon, we're going to check the Patreon after this episode. And if it goes up by $45 more,
Starting point is 00:54:24 James is going to go to the infrared sauna.'ll get a photo get a photo of you be covered in infrared rays yeah that's right okay probably giving myself skin cancer wow yeah and if it goes up and if it goes up 8.95 more i'm gonna buy a big sandwich for myself that's up to you yeah big sandwich big sandwich when i did do on, Matt bought me a sandwich. Did he? Yeah, he did. Is that why you brought your A-game to his podcast? That's right, exactly.
Starting point is 00:54:50 Because sandwiches were provided. I did see the Instagram post of that. I read, I'm nearly through Dark Knight's Metal. Oh, you got onto that. The one where all the bad Batman show up. Yes. And they're all Batman except a horrible thing happened to them. And then they joined together to tear down the regular Batmanman and they're also also the flash or green one's the flash one's how do you feel about it because i'd sort of dropped off it just because it started
Starting point is 00:55:13 out fun yeah and then it got weird and grim especially some of the side ones okay well i'm just sticking to the whatever so there's i'm just sticking to the main thing for this point i've got the one book which is okay and then after that is because the reason i got onto this because there's the batman who laughs yes which is currently running where the original batman yes uh gets infected with the jock the the jock he becomes a big old jock he gets jock itch yeah and so he's he's turning into the the joker version of batman which is introduced into this book oh wait so wait, so our version, the main universe version of Batman. Yeah, or a version, because who knows what anything is at any point. See, for me, the Batman Who Laughs, the limited series,
Starting point is 00:55:53 that's where I dropped off, because it just got too weird and grim. Okay. It was just, there were too many murders. That's what it's about, though. And then there's the Grim Knight, which is the Punisher, but it's Batman. Yeah, right. There's a bunch of different ones.
Starting point is 00:56:03 But no, I'm really, I like an alternate kind of take on stuff. Yeah, same. I like a universe where you can kind of, and we also rail against this almost constantly, but where you can take it in any direction. Yeah, right. Because you can explore things that, you know, you wouldn't normally see. So, yeah. But yeah, I found Dark Knight's metal was like, initially I was like, oh, this is silly
Starting point is 00:56:22 fun because they brought back Plastic Man and all sorts of just silly novelty yeah hawk man and all the all the all the all the silly stuff and then i'm like so i'd be i'd be keen to see how your opinion of the finale okay great i've said it finale that's how i say it okay good i actually just say last one yes yeah last last i'm not fancy like you. I understand. Anything else that you're reading or not reading? Let me check my Netflix queue. Why don't you check your bloody privilege, mate? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:52 It's true, you did get me. Yeah, that's right. I'm thinking about watching an episode of Bluey just to see what it's like. What did you think of the moments that you saw as I left the room to get a big sandwich? Yeah, it looked kind of fun. I see where you were like because he's a wacky dad
Starting point is 00:57:07 he's a wacky dad my brother watched it who's also a wacky dad he was bloody cacking himself yeah which in Australia means laughing or shitting yourself sometimes both
Starting point is 00:57:16 sometimes if you cack why not both if you cack your dacks sometimes you cack your dacks season 3 of Santa Clarita died is it yeah I watched that I haven't watched that yet

Starting point is 00:57:41 I've never liked his work I never will like his work yeah i'm not uh i'm not going into this one either because the the shines come off a bit i mean he's not in blackface in this but he's pretty he's not in blackface in this one but he is a woman who could potentially be black no apparently but she's just got a tan she's got an afro and a tan you see her when she's younger and she's not but in the sidestep in the present day she's got an afro and a tan you see her when she's younger and she's not but in the sidestep in the present day she's got an afro and a tan and i feel like they went he went can i do blackface again and they went absolutely not and he said can i have a character with an afro and a
Starting point is 00:58:15 tan who's white specifically but has an afro and a tan we should watch it we'll watch every episode okay our killing eve is on is on sbs on SBS On Demand for Australian listeners, if you haven't watched that. Which one's that again? It's Sandra Oh, who's like a... She's one of the Grey's Anatomies. She's one of the Grey's Anatomies, and she's like a sort of a burnt-out security, like MI5 CIA-type security researcher.
Starting point is 00:58:40 No, she's American. You said MI5. I know, but she's working in Britain. Oh, she's doing both. And she's kind of tracking down this insane assassin woman and they learn of each other's existence and they sort of become obsessed with one another. Okay.
Starting point is 00:58:56 It's really good. It's written by, no, executive produced by Phoebe Waller-Bridge who's done other stuff. Including Fleabag and a pass on the new Bond script. Yes. So that's, I'm being watched on that. I've got to watch Fleabag. Claire's like, why haven't you like Fleabag. Including Fleabag and a pass on the new Bond script. Yes. So I'm being watched on that. I've got to watch Fleabag. Claire's like, why haven't you watched Fleabag yet?
Starting point is 00:59:08 I'm like, because I'm a dad, Claire. I'm as busy as you are, if not slightly less busy. Yeah. She's been getting the studio going. Every week you come here, there's a bunch of- There's a new thing. There's a new thing. Yeah.

We want a lot of, we want a lot of comments and tweets that are just like, I'm okay with this. That's fine. Yeah. Anything else? That's about it. I think. Should we do letters? We should. Letters. We really should. We must. We must. We simply must. The classic one was letters, oh letters. We love you, some letters. They're only a day away. I know they're here right now. We're going to do letters.
Starting point is 00:59:51 Yeah. Yeah. Hey, if you want to reach the show, hashtag Weekly Planet Pod on Twitter. If you've got opinions on Endgame, please send them through to us for next week. Also, weeklyplanetpod at gmail.com. We can't answer any spoiler stuff on Twitter.
Starting point is 01:00:06 We shall not. Yeah. Or even like anything because then it shows up in other people's feed. It shows up. If you reply to somebody, it shows up. Yeah. And if you like it or... Though you never like anything, do you?
Starting point is 01:00:15 No, that's true. To this very day. If I were to like something, it would show up. Yeah. That's typical of you. Yeah. Weeklyplanetpot.gmail.com. And what do you...
Starting point is 01:00:24 I said that, didn't I? Yeah, you did. Good, but what have you got? So this is from Connor. I just want to specify that Mason went out of his way to get an email before he got here somehow. It was amazing. Pretty amazing, right?
Starting point is 01:00:35 Because I didn't do anything else this week. I'm really impressed is what I'm saying. Thank you. Look, instead of researching an entire topic, you looked up one letter to give him some kudos. Exactly. Thank you. Okay. Hey, guys, this is a situation that happened to me when i was tired on a plane and wasn't in the mood for social
Starting point is 01:00:51 interaction so you can relate i can imagine james yeah okay uh i finally watched ant-man and the wasp recently on a flight home to uh to ireland from america man of the world you can relate okay this is this guy he's me yeah yeah uh while i was watching it i could feel the guy beside me watching my screen more and more when i finished the film and took out my headphones he turned to me and said i couldn't really pick out a villain mind your fucking business mate did he want me to explain the entire plot of the movie he had just watched over my shoulder without subtitles because he had his on? Connor had his headphones in. What is happening?
Starting point is 01:01:26 Right. I gave him a quick answer telling him it was the girl who would go through things. Ghost. Go through walls. Yeah. And he followed up with, oh, okay. But then also, isn't Scarlett Johansson in these movies too? Oh my God.
Starting point is 01:01:36 How does she factor in? I decided that I didn't feel like explaining the entire MCU to this stranger who was eagerly forcing himself on me and just said yeah they're all connected. He subsequently congratulated me on knowing there was a post credit scene. I also really wasn't a fan of the movie but I feel like that might have
Starting point is 01:01:56 something to do with my experience with this man rather than the movie itself. Certainly wouldn't have helped. That is, that man is bold as brass. Boy is he, yeah. Just to decide that somebody watching something... Is that the etiquette now? I bet he was 58, that dude. Because I don't take a lot of planes, as you imagine.
Starting point is 01:02:11 Because you're terrified. Because I'm terrified, as you know. But I wasn't aware that watching a film on a laptop is now a communal experience. I'm sorry, was it a laptop or was he watching it on the seat in front of him? No, it's... Because if it's an international flight, it was probably
Starting point is 01:02:27 the... Oh, I see. Every seat has that. It has a screen, right. But he's not... He's watching... Correct. This guy's watching Connor's screen. He's a lunatic, yes. So you're thinking
Starting point is 01:02:43 that he hasn't turned his own screen on and hasn't put any headphones in. He's just watched this dude's screen. There's not really room for a laptop on one of these, unless you're flying business. You're like, my laptop, I can barely, and I'm not a big guy. You're a pretty big guy. Don't sell yourself short.
Starting point is 01:03:02 Yeah, I'm all right. Okay, look, I'm a pretty big guy. Don't sell yourself short. Yeah, I'm all right. Okay, look. I'm a pretty big guy. But, yeah, no. So that is like another level of worse. Yeah. Because he wouldn't be able to see it if it was right next to him either. He wouldn't be able to see a laptop. Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 01:03:16 So he's looking at this dude's screen. That's wild. I know. Is it because you get free? On an international flight, you get free headphones, right? They don't charge you. Free headphones, free entertainment. Yeah, right. So it wasn't that he didn't want to spring five bucks
Starting point is 01:03:30 for a set of headphones. No, you get them. And also, some domestic stuff, you can hire an iPad, but this is clearly not that situation. No, right, wow. Unbelievable. This is my new favourite guy. I want to...
Starting point is 01:03:43 See, that's that's this is my new favorite guy i want to you see that's hypothetically speaking if i was if i was connor in this situation as soon as we got off the plane i would wait for that guy to get his bag get in a taxi i would get the next taxi and be like follow that taxi i want to see what this guy's life is like because that is madness right that. I can't disagree with you. It's just a communal experience. We all watch. Well, it used to be that, though. There'd be one TV in the aisle on the roof.
Starting point is 01:04:13 Yeah, yeah. And everybody would... I remember that because once I did it as a kid and they had Yes Minister on. Yeah, this is a thing everybody enjoyed. I like Yes Minister. Now, this is important. Was it Yes Minister or Yes Prime Minister?
Starting point is 01:04:23 I think it was Yes Minister. Okay, wow. But it was a long time ago. Now, this is important. Was it Yes Minister or Yes Prime Minister? I think it was Yes Minister. Okay, wow. But it was a long time ago. Wow. I couldn't possibly say. Good show, though. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:31 I got a tweet here from Stephen Groom. Hashtag BP Planet Pod. Hey, guys. Have you been watching Star Trek Discovery this season? I found it to be a big improvement over the first.
Starting point is 01:04:41 Anson Mount as Christopher Pike has been a great in bridging old Trek ideals with modern style of storytelling in the first. Anson Mount as Christopher Pike has been a great in bridging old Trek ideals with modern style of storytelling in the show. Yeah, I've been watching it every week. I'm behind, so. I really like it. I know it's probably not, if you're a big Trek guide nowadays,
Starting point is 01:04:58 you're like, I watch the Orville because it's, you know. It's true. Because the Orville is pretty, which I also don't mind either. I think the Orville is fun. But no, I really like the narrative of this year because the Orville is pretty... Which I also don't mind either. I think the Orville is fun. But no, I really like the narrative of this year has been building towards time travel
Starting point is 01:05:10 and a bunch of other stuff going on. How's Spock in this? He's very good. I really like him. I understand that the reception to him has been mixed. Because of the beard? Just because it's Spock, I think. No, I like him.
Starting point is 01:05:22 I think he's really good. Well, I like all the versions of Spock. But no, I mean, he's got a beard. Every version of Spock. You like evil Spock? I mean, I like what he represents and his values. Oh, yeah, cool. That's what you mean.
Starting point is 01:05:34 That's what I mean. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But a standard of this is definitely Anson Mount, who played Silent McGee in The Inhumans. Yeah, right. But he plays Christopher Inhumans. Yeah, right. But he plays Christopher Pike in this. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 01:05:48 And he's fantastic. He's really like... You know what? He didn't even tweet. I know. If I'm honest with you. He's really like 60s swashbuckling. Yeah, that's great.
Starting point is 01:05:55 And there comes a moment, and this is a slight spoiler, so I'll... You'll beep it out. But you can skip ahead. Okay. I'll put a time code. Well, I guess I'll just listen to it then. But if you know the 60s show, that,
Starting point is 01:06:06 that captain is in the pilot episode. Yes, he is. And then he disappears and then he rolls up later and he's horrifically disfigured and in a weird star-like. In a motorized chair.
Starting point is 01:06:16 Yeah, kind of situation and he can't talk. Yeah. And so, you know that's coming because this is set in the same continuity.
Starting point is 01:06:22 I mean, it doesn't exactly line up but they make it somewhat of a go of it. Yeah, right. So he finds out that that's the way his life is going. Yeah, right. And the way he handles it is really interesting and he's still kind of cool and a nod and a wink and a smile
Starting point is 01:06:37 and give your chin up, everybody. And then he's like, and you take the helm, I'll be in my quarters. But there's a moment where he can kind of go in a different direction. Yeah, right. And you see him like take a beat where he's like, I could walk away from this. Right, well, don't spoil what he does. No, but the way he makes his decision, you see the way the actor does it.
Starting point is 01:07:00 It's really interesting. Right, okay. Yeah, I think it's a great show. Well, I think I'm going to get back into bloody discovery. And I love binging stuff, sure, but I really like the week-to-week stuff also. It comes out every Friday here or Thursday night or whatever. So that was a thing for me to do every Friday night is sit down and watch Star Trek by myself. Because I'm bloody, that's who I am. Because you're a dad who loves a bit of Star Trek.
Starting point is 01:07:24 I love some Star Trek here's an email from Thomas the subject line is crunchy and the body of the text says crunchy so look
Starting point is 01:07:31 we've conducted an informal poll about the best kind of peanut butter and I think the answers speak for itself don't they I was shocked though by the amount of smooth
Starting point is 01:07:40 we got on Twitter yeah right I don't hate it but any kind of choice that's... So I think a lot of Americans do the peanut butter and jelly situation. I think maybe smooth is probably better for that. I don't think so.
Starting point is 01:07:52 All right then. Okay then. If I'm making a big sandwich, which I often am, not for myself, I'm going crunchy. Yeah, okay, good. Every day of the week. Wow, all right. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 01:08:01 All right. Great. Pronounceable name, who gets a lot of... Gets a lot of play. Good tweets. Good tweets from pronounceable name. What am I going to do? Not?
Starting point is 01:08:11 That's right. Hashtag weekly planet pod. With things like Hancock, Superior, Brightburn, The Boys, and Snyder's Superman. Did you see The Boys trailer this week? I did. It looks good. Yeah. How long do you think it'll be until...
Starting point is 01:08:23 What if Superman was actually Superman? Becomes the bold new deconstruction. Yeah. I believe that's what happened to the movie Die Hard. It was a Superman movie? No, but Die Hard was so... Die Hard was a new avenue for action movies and people really loved it.
Starting point is 01:08:42 And so people like... In Hollywood, people were always pitching, okay, well, how about Die Hard, but it's on a boat yes how about die hard but it's at the bloody how about it's on in a bloody how about die hard too yeah how about it's a die hard but it's on a plane how about you know all these action movies have been pitched as the new die hard but this and apparently the die hard producers you know a year or so later were pitched hey what about a movie but but it's Die Hard, but it's in a building? And they were like, ah, yep, all right, cool.
Starting point is 01:09:10 We'll think about that. I mean, that's the Under Siege movies are Die Hard, but on a thing, aren't they? Yeah, that's true. Man, what a world. Yeah, so now I think, yeah, then maybe it is time for an actual Superman movie. Yes, because we're getting everything but.
Starting point is 01:09:23 Yeah, maybe theman movie will be inspired by by all the superman spin-off stuff that is kind of what we want out of a superman movie and they'll be like now it's time for superman to go to space and do some interesting things we'll say less moping less moping yeah uh we got i've got one more tweet here i'm ready for it uh it's from drs said uh what happened to the chicken leg house news was the chicken in the house? So that is related to Hellboy. Yep. I can't believe we didn't bring this up, but there's a chicken leg house in Hellboy.
Starting point is 01:09:50 Yeah. The house of Baba Yaga the witch. And we were like, is it just the legs? Is there a big chicken? Yeah. They built the house around. What's going on? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:57 It was just the legs. It turned out. Yeah. Unless we didn't see the other room where the chicken was in. That's true. It's possible that there was a. We only really see the foyer. The foyer. We see the foyer. the chicken was in. That's true, yeah. It's entirely possible that there was a... We only really see the foyer now. We see the foyer.
Starting point is 01:10:06 And a table. Yeah. But no, it seemed as if... Yes. ...that it was just the legs. Just the legs. We'll have to wait till that inevitable sequel. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:15 The inevitable sequel when we see the other half, which is just a chicken top half, and below is just like some foundations. I would love that. So, look, it was a bit of an anticlimactic reaction. I mean, you know, kind of answer to the chicken leg house situation. But it's good we finally put it out there. It's good to know. Because people would have been wondering.
Starting point is 01:10:35 Yeah, exactly. If anyone has any theories about what happened to the chicken, if there ever was a chicken. Yeah. What do you think the house grew legs? I like to think there isn't there's half a chicken lying somewhere
Starting point is 01:10:46 yeah nice dead in a ditch or alive in a field yeah or just flying about with some like loose plumbing
Starting point is 01:10:54 just hanging out at the bottom you know yeah I was like that yeah alright that's everything

Sometimes you bring your A game to go on, and then you don't bring your A game to the podcast, you know? The other thing was, because I normally don't have my son while I'm doing this,
