This episode is brought to you by express vpn and just in time
mind you absolutely very timely
welcome back everybody to another episode of the weekly planet where we talk movies and comics and
tv shows my name is james also known as mr sund. With me as always is my co-host with the most host coast,
coast to coast, he hosts, co, Nick Mason.
Hello.
Normally what happens here is that while you're doing the introduction,
I try to think of something like a fun way to introduce yourself,
like to get into the business of show that we are part of here.
Absolutely.
But I don't
understand what's happening anymore wait is that in the state of the world or just how i decided
no i was fine with the state of the world i was gonna say that was exactly what i had written
down that wasn't a mistake either right oh so that's a metaphor it's a metaphor that's like
an on-the-nose metaphor for the state of the world currently okay i liked it it worked perfectly oh
thank you so much hope everyone's holding up okay at the moment. I know there's been some big lockdown stuff around the world.
Australia's implementing some things on Tuesday,
which you can't even go state to state.
But guess what?
They can't lock down podcasting.
Yet.
Currently.
Maybe they will.
I don't know what their opinion is on home studios.
Probably nothing, I'd imagine.
It wouldn't even occur to them, probably.
If they don't care about teachers, they're going to be okay with this.
All I know about Australia's politicians is they know enough about technology
to accidentally fave a porn tweet on Twitter and then claim they got hacked
and then institute some sort of federal investigation into that.
Yes, that's right.
That's all I know about politicians and technology, modern technology.
I think you're ready to get in the game then.
Yeah.
That's the test.
Yeah, that's okay, right.
Oh, my goodness. So the good thing is we do have regular news this week because last week was just the everything is cancelled yeah i mean sure this
week some other stuff is cancelled oh yeah that's i thought we'd start with that okay then we'll
roll into some stuff which is coming to streaming and some rumored stuff that's coming and there's
just a bunch of news in general which has kind of been happening which is nice people were worried
that the amount of content would dry up
because, of course, some people are on lockdown.
Yes.
And actors certainly are on lockdown.
Well, don't worry because actors have found something to do.
It's put out like portrait mode, forward-facing camera videos
that their publicists and agents have not approved
and they're probably going to regret
and they're going to have to make some apologies.
We'll get into some of those,
but I don't think they're ever going to run out.
I meant to watch that video beforehand.
But you physically couldn't.
I couldn't.
I like watching very cringy and painful stuff.
I enjoy it.
So look, we could be referring to any number of things here,
but you specifically are referring to the Gal Gadot-helmed
celebrity sing-along to the John Lennon song Imagine,
which we're all subjected to this week.
I can play it.
You don't have to.
Regardless of whether you think that that was a nice thing to do
for all a bunch of celebrities to get together
and bring a little bit of whimsical fun and hope to the world,
or if you think that all those celebrities should be dragged out of their mansions and eaten,
it definitely happened, and we're going to talk.
It raises a lot of questions, this video, I find.
Okay, first of all, how much of it did you watch?
I watched about maybe 20 seconds, not even.
What I did is initially I started watching it with the sound off.
I don't know why, but I just got an inkling
that it was not something that I would physically be able to watch.
Because that's the thing.
You'd think I'd watch five seconds of it and go,
oh, not for me, I'd better do something.
But I'm just like, I don't even want to watch this with the sound on.
And then I couldn't even do that.
So I had to scrub through it five seconds at a time just to see what celebrity.
How long is it, like a minute and a bit? It's like a minute and a bit. So I had to like scrub through it five seconds at a time just to see what celebrity. How long is it? Like a minute and a bit?
Like a minute and a bit.
So I had to scrub through it just to see which celebrity.
So you're Mark Ruffalo's.
Who else is on there?
Sia is in there.
Really?
Yeah, Sia is in there.
That's what Sia looks like.
I mean, I know what Sia looks like.
A bob.
She's got a bob.
Zoe Kravitz is in there.
Oh, really?
What's interesting about this video?
I should watch it.
You kind of should.
You don't have to. Everybody's in a different case, first of all.
But that's not the main issue.
They're doing their best.
But what's interesting to me is that Kristen Wiig is in it
and Pedro Pascal is in it.
So her two co-stars in Wonder Woman 84.
Chris Pine, not in it.
And he can sing also.
Yeah, right?
You know what?
I'm going to play it.
I'm going to play it through.
In its entirety.
In its entirety. Okay. I guess going to play it through. In its entirety. In its entirety.
Okay.
I guess this is a live reaction.
Wow.
I'm going to say the celebrities as they come up.
You can't actually hear it, can you?
No.
I'm relieved.
Just say some celebrities' names.
This is incredible stuff.
I'm getting your live reaction.
Should I be putting a video?
Should I be putting a camera?
No, I'm not going to. I don't be putting a video? Should I be putting a camera?
No, I'm not going to.
No help.
I don't think he... Jamie Dorman.
Jamie Jordan.
Jamie Dorman from Fifty Shades, yeah.
Imagine all the people living for today.
They must have sung the whole thing.
That's one of the questions, obviously,
is did she record the entire thing
or did she split it up specifically?
I don't know some of this.
It isn't hard to do.
Nothing to care for or die for.
I feel you could get into a groove
and it'd sound better.
And also I think Zoe Kravitz did it under her head.
I'm pretty sure. Because she's like, I think this is going to get a backlash. And it'd sound better. Well, I think, and also I think Zoe Kravitz did a gun to her head. I'm pretty sure
because she's like,
I think this is going
to get a backlash.
She seems quite social media savvy.
Sia did too.
She did too, right?
Which means somebody dropped out,
I think.
I hope someday you'll join us.
And what's your curtain situation
like, Maya Rudolph?
What room is that?
The world will be as one.
They should, I just can't even with that.
Right, you didn't get it, right?
You can't finish it, right?
No one can.
I thought Mark Ruffalo was in it.
He is.
I didn't see him.
He's like lying on a couch.
Okay, I must have blacked out.
He also has some nice glasses on.
But, yeah.
Actually, I think I watched a shorter version.
It's already been edited down.
Oh, God, that was rough. So I guess,'s the thing because if you if you sang the entire song i feel you could get into
a groove yes but if somebody's like just sing one line of the song imagine you'd be like um imagine
there's no country like you wouldn't yeah where do you even go exactly that's why they're all off
but here's but here's the thing because well that was my first thought, Chris Pine so did she
text him, can you sing a line from the song
Imagine and he was just
he just left it for three days and he's like
oh sorry I only just saw this
I haven't been on
I haven't had my phone
my phone stopped working because
coronavirus
or did she not text
him at all which makes me wonder what's going on there yeah
absolutely do you think that's we've pivoted to unfounded gossip is what the podcast is doing now
we're just like what about maybe they hate each other now is maybe that's the reason it might
not even be the biggest social media craze this week basically okay you got another i mean we'll
get to you heard of release the butthole cut oh i thought yeah of course I mean, we'll get to, you heard of Release the Butthole Cut? Oh, I've heard, yeah, of course I've heard of that.
We'll get to it.
Okay, good.
Do you want to talk about some delayed stuff, though, first?
Yes.
Oh, God.
I'm just, it's really, I'm struggling to kind of.
Oh, no.
It does the opposite of what it's supposed to do.
Right?
And that's why I didn't watch it.
Yeah.
I shouldn't have watched it now.
No, that's what I said.
You shouldn't have watched it.
Okay. We talked about the horror, but a lot shouldn't have watched it now. That's what I said. You shouldn't have watched it. Okay.
We talked about the horror.
A lot of people have mentioned it to us,
which I saw many years ago,
the horror movie Pontypool.
No.
It's like a zombie movie.
It's a British zombie movie.
And it's essentially the zombie virus spreads through the radio.
Okay.
That's like the DC.
Yeah.
So it's like a radio station.
And they're like, well, do we tell people about this?
Because it's that is what I'm saying. Yeah, right.'s like a radio station and they're like, well, do we tell people about this? Because it's that is what I'm saying.
This meme is spreading and people don't want to listen to it, but it's important somehow.
You're drawn into it, yeah.
It's important somehow.
What are you talking about?
Okay, this is what's delayed.
You're slowly going to turn into a zombie.
I feel like I'm going to come back.
I can rally from this.
That's the most demoralizing thing I've seen from this entire-
And that is bringing me joy.
So if you can't deal with it, I'm going to be- I'm fresh as a daisy, so don't worry about
it.
So Black Widow is delayed indefinitely.
Yeah.
We just don't know.
Which, and again, in these trying times, it again makes me wonder what exactly the term
indefinitely means.
That's right, yeah.
Does it mean for good?
Or does it mean we just don't know?
I don't think it means for good.
I think it means we're just going to see what happens over the next month.
But interestingly, definitively not putting it on a streaming service.
Yeah, it seems that way for now.
We'll see.
Because we'll talk a bit more about that because there's some other big names things that may or may not be coming.
Avatar 2 was delayed indefinitely.
They're apparently still working on special effects.
A few people out there breathing a sigh of relief on the production side
James Cameron
yeah
yep
because he's bigged it up
he's been bigging it up
for years
he's like it's the biggest
thing since the last thing
or whatever he's talking about
yeah
yeah we'll see
it could be great
could be revolutionary
in the year 2029
when it comes out
Uncharted has been
delayed for six weeks
The Matrix
that means Tom Holland's
going to age out of the role
that's right
just like Mark Wahlberg did he's going to be Sully that's what's going to age out of the role. That's right. Just like Mark Wahlberg did.
He's going to be Sully.
That's what's going to happen.
They're going to have to get a Stranger Things kid to do it now.
That's right.
He's going to have to grow a moustache.
The Matrix is...
We talked about it last week.
That was continuing now.
It's not.
Minions, The Rise of Gru is delayed.
But off the back of...
Which is weird because I feel like your computer...
I guess release delay. Yeah. Like making of delay. delay yeah is this a making of delay or a release delay i
think it's release delay okay because of an anima like a an animated movie put them in your computer
just put them in your computer exactly that's i mean you know we we may see a rise in you know
bigger budget animated movies this year because people can just do it from their houses well
that's yeah well that, and people do.
Because remember the version of Toy Story 2 that got lost
and then one of the people working on it just had it on her computer at home?
Oh, but that's fascinating.
Yeah, there's multiple videos on it people have made.
But, yeah, it's a really interesting story.
Basically they lost it.
They deleted like a core file which wiped everything out.
Yeah.
And then an employee just happened to have it.
Otherwise they would have lost it. All of Toy Story 2? Wow. The entire film. Yeah. And then an employee just happened to have it. Otherwise they would have lost it.
All of Toy Story 2.
Wow.
The entire film.
Wow.
Fascinating.
That's like a lot of people when they do live podcasts.
Yeah.
Somebody involved, like the people actually recording it will lose the file,
but somebody in the audience was just recording it on their phone.
Yeah, absolutely.
Well, like Tofop, their greatest podcast of all time or whatever.
Superpod?
Superpod.
Superpod, yeah.
But here's some things they're getting some digital releases.
That's right.
I'm comparing a podcast with the Disney Pixar movie Toy Story 2.
They're the same.
They're the same.
Here's some digital releases that we're getting early,
and some we already have.
Universal Pictures decided last week to release The Invisible Man,
The Hunt, Emma.
They're already out.
Yeah, The Hunt was the one where it's like The Purge,
but it's political purge, right?
I watched it.
I'll talk about it in what we're reading.
Did you pay the asking price for it?
Yes, I did.
There you go.
And also Trolls World Tour is now on April 10th.
Birds of Prey is out on the 24th of this month.
Slam Dunk but Not the Booze is the same day.
The way back, yeah. The way back, yeah.
The way back, yeah.
Bad Boys for Life is on March 31st.
Oh, I might get that one.
Yeah, and I think obviously the reason for these movies
that have already come out is because
The Invisible Man's not going to make any more money.
The Hunt's not going to make any more money.
Bad Boys is not going to make any more money.
Yeah, right.
They can't just leave them in theatres
and then in six months potentially
people are still going to go and see these movies.
That's true, yeah.
So you may as well cut your losses and see if you can make a bloody buck
or two doing it this way.
Well, I mean, out of that list, what is Emma?
It's the remake of Emma.
Oh, it's the remake of Emma.
Okay, right.
I haven't seen it.
Because it was either going to be a remake of a historical epic
or a story about a little girl who's raised to be the ultimate assassin.
Yeah, definitely.
Like Hannah.
Yeah, exactly.
You're absolutely right.
Any movie that is a single woman's name is going to be one of the two.
It's nothing in between.
That's very, very true.
But, yeah, so of those, I would watch all of those except Trolls,
which I'd probably watch anyway with my son, I guess.
I'll pay for Bad Boys too, and I'll pay for Slam Dunk, but not the booze.
Yeah.
Bad Boys 3.
Bad Boys 4 Life.
Yes, that's right.
Bad Boys!
Those are some bad boys!
Also, I think-
Even if we're all quarantined,
at least we'll have saying bad boys and a funny voice.
Oh my God, that's all we need.
The thing is, this bodes really well for streaming,
but not so much for theatres.
Who knows what the fallout this is going to be for the TV industry.
Job loss and et cetera.
Apparently, drive-thrus are doing really well.
I've heard that, yeah.
But, of course, there's nothing coming to cinemas.
There's nothing going to be at drive-thrus.
Also, Melbourne has one drive-thru, I think.
It's Coburg.
That's right.
Or you can go a little bit closer down the beach.
Does Dramana have one?
Yes.
Yeah.
Let's go there, me and you, after the show.
Trolls World Tour, you and me.
Oh, my goodness.
This is going to show.
I hope there's, like, frantic panic drive-in buying,
like there is at the supermarkets.
People just screaming in and crashing through.
Like, it would combine the worst aspects of panic buying and supermarket shopping.
It's like a scene from Blues Brothers.
Just a pile up.
People refuse to leave.
I'm here for Trolls World Tour.
People are getting punched.
Yeah, I guess if I could make a request from this, it's for people, but do what you want.
I would say if these are available, you should buy them.
Yeah, if you can afford them.
Yeah, if you can afford them.
I think the reason why that is, if we want to see this stuff,
if you want to encourage people to release bigger budget movies like A Black Widow,
I'm not saying that's going to happen.
Yeah.
But they need to have the numbers to prove it.
That's true, yeah.
Otherwise, why would they?
Because you look at a lot of these, they're either already been out or they're pretty low budget.
Yeah.
But on the one hand, smaller screen, not the movie-going experience.
On the other hand, never a bad movie-going experience
because you're not dealing with idiots and people talking
unless it's people you live with.
Exactly.
But also, if it's $20, which seems like a lot lot for a streaming movie but also if you've got like a family it's a it's not it's not it's not four
twenty dollar tickets it's one twenty dollar tickets that's kind of a bargain yeah exactly
so look a lot of these are gonna are gonna lose money or maybe break even but it's either that or
nothing right you just flat out lose that money that you've put into it. There's also a rumor, this came from John Flickinger,
the FlickPic, a YouTube fellow.
Oh, the Flickster.
Nice guy.
Do you know him?
No, but I'd like to know him.
Yeah, he's a good dude.
Warner Brothers is apparently considering dumping all of its upcoming
movies that were going to cinemas to streaming, including Tenet.
Oh, the Chris Vanoli movie. Yeah, that Tenet. Oh, the Christopher Nolan movie.
Yeah, that's right.
Warner Brothers.
So where would these go is the question.
Well, he said that it's going to be $50 a pop.
He also said this is a rumor.
This is just what he heard from a guy who works at Warner Brothers.
Which I would pay for, to be honest.
If it was Tenet, I would pay $50.
I mean, again, you know, if you've got a group of people
and you all want to watch it together, I guess that's not so bad.
Exactly.
And I could be on my phone.
Oh, my God.
So that's the thing, though.
I think for a lot of these, I probably would put my phone away.
I'd have to go into lockdown.
Yeah, that's right.
Double, double lockdown.
Yeah, I'd have to hire a guy.
You know what?
We'll tell you what.
We'll set up a booth with the guys at the movie premieres
where they have the RF sleeves and you put your phone into it
and they lock it in.
Yeah, right, okay.
$50, I mean, that's a not insignificant amount of money.
Because this next thing that I'm going to talk about speaks to why that may be the case.
IndieWire are saying that Warner Brothers are considering putting Wonder Woman 84,
which is due out in July, I think, into homes,
bypassing director Patty Jenkins and Charles Roven, the producer.
So if they had released that last November when it was initially supposed to,
that probably, I mean, how can you predict this?
That would have been the wise decision at that point.
What do you mean bypassing the director and the producer?
Because they don't want to.
Oh, I see.
So they haven't put out a statement that's like,
we do or do not want this to happen.
But they're just like, we're going to do it because we have all the money.
But apparently, though, this is courtesy of the rap,
and I find this really interesting, that the original Wonder Woman. Not the Flickster.
Not the Flickster, no.
John Flickinger.
You can call him the Flickster.
You can do it, yeah.
Anything Flick related.
Do you think he owns Flickster.com?
Whatever Flickster.com is now?
I don't know.
I'll check.
Do you want to check it out?
Yeah.
I don't think he does. No. But what to get if he did? What if he did? What if it's just his face? Whatever Flickster.com is now. I don't know. I'll check. Do you want to check it out? Yeah. Uh-huh. I don't think he does.
No.
But what to get if he did?
What if he did?
What if it's just his face?
Let's find out.
Three, two, one.
The site cannot be reached.
Okay.
Wow.
Get on that, John.
Now's your chance, Flickster.
FlickPick.
You say you should rebrand.
Oh, FlickPick's good.
No, FlickPick's good too.
There you go.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
So the original Wonder Woman took home $822 million
at the global box office,
and it's expected that the sequel could top $1 billion,
which wouldn't surprise me at all.
But I mean, now, Gal Gadot backlash.
I think this is the Imagine video.
Yeah, I don't think she's the, even though it was her idea,
I don't think it's the, she's not the worst part of that video.
It's the whole thing.
Nobody's the worst.
Everybody in that video is fine.
Yeah.
I mean, well. But don't do it. But don't do it. Nobody's the worst. Everybody in that video is fine. Yeah. I mean, well.
But don't do it.
But don't do it.
Don't do it.
Yeah.
So according to the rap, the film.
I would love, look.
I'm against the hacking of people's phones.
You know me, obviously.
All I'm saying is I would love to see the Gal Gadot's text chain of who she texted and who was like, sorry, I can't.
Yeah, well, we're in the area.
And who would be like, I will not.
You are. And who left it can't. Yeah, well, we're in the area. And who would be like, I will not. You are.
And who left it on read.
Yeah.
You know?
Absolutely.
What a world.
Yeah, right.
So according to the rap,
the film would need 16 to 21 million units of download on demand
in order to match the profit of $1 billion, right?
Okay.
Now, assuming each rental costs $30, $40, that's how that would work.
Yeah, right. So. Now, assuming each rental costs $30, $40, that's how that would work. Yeah, right.
So for comparison's sake, the most profitable pay-per-view event in history was the 2015
Mayweather Pacquiao fight, which made $400 million from 4.4 million purchases at $90
a piece.
Right.
That means Wonder Woman 1984 would need to be several times more successful to justify
forgoing its theatrical run.
$90 a piece?
Yes.
For the pay-per-view, that boxing match?
I watched it at a pub with a million other people.
Oh, yeah, yeah, right, right, yeah.
So if they did release it like a pay-per-view,
it was a streaming event,
and if you want it to be on the ground as it's happening.
Oh, yeah.
I think it's possible,
especially if there hasn't been a big budget
movie like this for a while yeah i just don't know whether they'd roll the dice on it the other thing
is would you build a separate platform for that what's the cost of that in relation to
yeah in relation to the billion dollars you know the difference between this and a boxing match is
if you don't watch the boxing match as it happens somebody can just be
like you may weather one yeah whichever it was i can't remember but like and that's that's kind of
spoiled it for you like the for sports the end result if you know it it's kind of spoils everything
yeah but if you lean in and be like steve trevor dies at the end i mean that's annoying but you'd
still watch you could still watch the movie for all the action.
I think people would still do the same for sport, though.
They'd want to see how it happens.
But I see your point.
I guess people watch sport replays even if they know who won.
Look, I don't know.
So what do you do?
This is not going to make however many million, did you say?
How many million individual downloads?
And then you've got to take into account it would be a marketing campaign to make.
I don't even know how you'd go about this.
Yeah.
Again, it would have to be the biggest event in pay-per-view history.
Bigger than the Logan Paul fighting whoever fight.
Sure.
Which happened.
Yeah.
Bigger than famed bad movie director Uwe Boll fighting a whole bunch of people.
Did you fight Uwe Boll?
No.
What if he had a year to train?
No.
Because he's crazy
and he's been boxing all his life?
He's crazy,
but like all I got going for me
is that I haven't smashed my nose
in a boxing ring situation.
The one thing.
The one thing I got going for me,
all right?
And I feel like
as soon as my nose just got caved in,
I'll be like,
well, I did this, didn't I?
Yes.
And what am I going to get out of it?
Nothing.
Get punched.
I don't want that.
Yeah, you don't have to.
No.
Yeah.
You know?
All it takes is one and your face is caved in.
Yeah, exactly.
No, I also wouldn't do it.
Just checking though.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Do you remember football player James Hurd?
He got his face like mad.
He got a knee in the head.
His whole head caved in.
They had to peel his face off and reconstruct it and then stitch his face back up again.
It wasn't even on purpose the guy
need him in there yeah imagine if he tried to name in the head you know apparently also you
get hit the head and it's very good chance that you're not the same again that's yeah yeah yeah
like every boxer that's ever boxed like every boxer yeah so i wouldn't to answer your question
yeah good good point yeah so that's kind of again this will evolve over the
next weeks months to see how this is going to change yeah i wouldn't be surprised if we got a
wonder woman or a black widow just had taken a shot at this yeah it's a massive risk though
and here's the thing though i wonder if so so netflix is 12 billion dollars in debt right
yeah i wonder if have they reached peak we'll pay for this i don't know because i
seem to be still doing i don't know what's really it's it's what like i feel also that a lot of
these streaming servers would be fighting over what's left because a lot of stuff has been shut
down and it's just what have we got in the can right yeah and i wonder i wonder if netflix would
take that gamble and go okay well well, we are guaranteed to get.
The reason they buy stuff is to get new subscribers generally.
The reason they make a new thing, like a Stranger Things, is so people will subscribe and then just keep not unsubscribed, basically.
So I'm wondering if they'd be like, we'll pay $50 million.
Not $50 million.
$40 million.
Some outstanding amount of money for Wonder Woman 84.
Yeah.
And then hope for that new subscribers.
But then again.
But also a lot of these ones that are being released there,
you've got to buy them or it's a once-off or it's like you can only rent it.
You can, yeah.
I think the universal stuff is it's like Google Play where you rent it,
you pay $20 and you get it for a week and then you have to watch.
If you start watching, you have to watch it within 48 hours.
I do wonder if Netflix could.
Which is a bad deal for parents.
Sure, yeah.
If I can say.
You would watch a lot of stuff in 20-minute chunks.
We've been watching Lego Batman.
Yeah.
He could watch the whole thing.
Well, that's true, yeah.
It's a good movie.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But, I mean, stuff you've rented.
Oh, yeah, yeah, sure.
You'd be watching that over three weeks.
Yeah, that's probably true.
But, yeah, I also wonder if Netflix is a new subscriber saturation.
Yeah.
Like if you haven't subscribed to Netflix for Stranger Things
or Mark Wahlberg's Spencer Confidential.
Did you finish it?
No, I watched three minutes out at your house
and then I never watched it again.
Well, of course, you would have lost your place
because we've got different Netflix accounts.
You can never find it again.
And it looks cheap and bad.
Yeah, sure.
But yeah, I wonder at this point, you know, if you haven't paid for, if you haven't subscribed
to Netflix for Stranger Things or whatever, or Castlevania or what, at this point, surely
you're like, I'm not going to.
Yeah.
Why would you do it for Wonder Woman?
Because you're at home.
Everyone.
Yeah, I guess that's true.
Well, maybe.
That's the unknown factor from this, I guess.
How bored are people's true. Maybe. That's the unknown factor from this, I guess. How bored are people?
Exactly.
Look, I just don't want some sort of the mist situation
where I'm like, oh, my God, I've been in my house for three weeks.
I'd better.
I'm finally going to pay for Wonder Woman 84,
and then I click it, and then the mist clears,
and there's a big billboard goes by in a truck,
and it's like, Wonder Woman 84 is out a truck and it's like wonder world 84 is out today
and it's free oh no we're not making money off when we decided yeah yeah so that's interesting
fx is 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+.

Anyway, in other news, because we do have other news.
Good.
Okay, Kevin Smith said earlier this week
that he heard a rumor Charlie Cox is going to be
Peter Parker's lawyer in Spider-Man Far From Three Home.
Far From Three Home.
Home?
Yeah.
Far From Three Home. But then he retracted that and said he actually just heard it somewhere else on the internet because there were rumors of that. parker's lawyer in spider-man far from three home far from three home yeah far from throne but then
he retracted that and said he actually just heard it somewhere else on the internet because there
were rumors of that uh sure but i don't know we got this covered probably but i just thought
what i mean there's a chance that maybe he did hear something i guess because oh you think he's
walking it back i don't know okay right i have no idea well that's you that's the two things is
either he heard it on we got this cover.com, notorious site for lies, or somebody in the know actually did tell him
and then he spilled the beans and they're like,
and he got a lot of calls from lawyers who were like,
do not tell anybody about this.
We'll beat you up.
We'll beat you up.
We don't mind.
We have 40 people to cough in your face, Kevin Smith.
But so I do wonder also the logistics of that
because not only do you have to get Marvel on board to say,
okay, we want these characters.
They're characters that technically don't exist anymore maybe.
We don't know what form they exist in.
That's true, yeah.
I think they should bring Charlie Cox back as Daredevil in some form.
I think he's great.
I think you could work him in.
I think you could work all of those guys into movies if you wanted to.
But I just thought that would be...
All the greats.
Jessica Jones.
Luke Cage.
Daredevil.
Stick.
The Punisher.
Foggy Nelson.
He was great in Mighty Ducks.
Karen.
Yes.
And that's all the characters.
The Black Cat.
Yes.
No, Yellow Cat.
The Cat.
Hell Cat.
Hell Cat.
Yes.
The guys at the barbershop where Luke Cage was.
Yeah, yeah.
That guy who trained with the Iron Fist.
Yeah, just him though.
Kingpin.
Kingpin.
He's great.
Vincent D'Onofrio is good.
The Owlman.
Yeah.
He was dead, but bring him back.
Some of the actual owls.
Exactly.
Maybe they're in the background in New York, Central Park.
Maybe there's an owl.
That guy who works for the newspaper and he dies in the first season or whatever.
He's killed, but bring him back.
The dude who gets his head mashed in a car door.
The drunk Kung Fu guy.
Remember him?
Oh, yeah, sure.
Yeah.
These are all great.
The guy that made the Daredevil suit.
The buzzsaw boy.
Sigourney Weaver.
Yep, she'd be good.
The Dragon Bones.
Dig him up.
Dig up the Dragon Bones.
That building.
Rebuild it.
That'd be great, yeah.
Just a background newspaper that says,
The Hulk, question mark?
Oh, yeah, nice.
An incident, question mark?
Yeah, all of those.
All the greats, obviously.
But to be clear, not Iron Fist.
He's all right.
I know.
I know.
I'm just kidding.
Yeah, it's fun to make fun of him.
But also somebody would email in and be like,
you didn't mention Iron Fist.
We know.
So in other news, Peter Sciretta says that Rosario Dawson is going to play Ahsoka Tano
in the Mandalorian live action.
So that's the animated character from Rebels and Clone Wars.
She was actually around during the original trilogy.
I don't know where she was when a lot of really fucking important things were happening.
When you say the original trilogy, like... Canonically, she's alive. I don't know where she was when a lot of really fucking important things were happening.
When you say the original trilogy, like.
Canonically, she was, she's alive.
Oh, I see.
Right, right, right.
And she knows Darth Vader and she knows Darth Vader as Anakin Skywalker, but she wasn't there when Darth Vader was doing all this stuff that he was up to, it would seem.
So yeah, I don't know.
Do you think this means a new cut of the original trilogy somehow?
Work around the background.
Just her like helping Obi-Wwan kenobi switch off the tractor
beam or whatever or maybe she's trying to like pry open a door but she's like this door it's been
quite a while and i'm stuck behind this door i'm not even in a cell i haven't been captured it's
just this particular door yeah just a toilet door just i guess i'll play on my phone for a bit i
guess or in that universe just a block with four coloured buttons on it.
That's right.
That you beep.
What does it do?
Communicator?
No one knows.
Don't know.
I think we talked about this in a video recently,
the ongoing fan theory that nobody in the Star Wars universe can read
or most people can't read because nothing's labelled.
It's not even – most of the stuff isn't – you've pointed out
that it's been retconned, that some stuff that was in English
in the original trilogy has been retconned,
so it's now digitally reinserted that it's a strange Jedi language
or a common language.
Love it.
But most of the stuff in the Star Wars universe is just unlabelled buttons
and switches, which either means that people can't read
or they can only read the most complicated code known to the universe.
Like you look at a gigantic panel of lights.
Do you think...
And you only know what they do in reference to other things.
Do you think Han Solo can do that?
No, he's a dumb guy.
He's a dumb guy.
The only other possible explanation is you go, okay, well, there's a dumb guy. He's a dumb guy. The only other
possible explanation
is you go,
okay,
well there's a blue light
in the top right corner
and there's a red light
three down
on the second column
so that means on?
Yeah.
So I have to push
the orange button
and throw the switch
which will change it
and that's...
That's hyperdrive
or whatever.
Like it's like
Chinese characters
times a million.
Yeah.
You know?
It's really good.
Are you excited for that though, the Mandalorian live action?
Yes.
The rumor is she's going to get a spin-off series as well.
Oh, a real jinx from Die Another Day situation.
Yeah, but hopefully for real.
For real, yeah.
Okay, that's fun.
I feel like this would be a very thrilling addition to the second season
of The Mandalorian if we weren't all told about it.
Yeah, imagine. I mean, it wasn't official.
It's not official.
But yeah, I think this is the kind of thing
that's going to get out regardless.
I guess that's probably true, yeah.
There's been some fan art for a few years.
Like if they bring her in, get Rosario Dawson
because Ashley Eckstein voices her,
who I think also could easily do it.
Is she related to Rosario Dawson in some way?
No, she just does the voice.
Oh, I see, right.
So yeah, I don't know.
I think she's a really interesting character because she's Anakin's apprentice.
And then she's one of the few people who know who he is.
Oh, yeah.
Right.
And what happens to him.
And canonically, is there any.
She's also in Rise of Skywalker.
She's one of the voices at the end.
Oh, yeah, that's true.
So canonically, do we know of anything that she did
in between Clone Wars and?
Yeah, she's in Rebels.
Okay, so then Rebels and.
Yeah, so she does a bunch of stuff before
and then it kind of skips over the main war.
Okay.
And then she's like, I'm going off into the unknown regions
to find this particular person.
Don't spoil, because you probably want to watch every episode of Rebels.
I want to watch every episode of Rebels.
Is it on Disney Plus?
We'll get to that.
Oh, excuse me.
Yeah, yeah.
So there you bloody go.
Yeah.
So I guess what would happen inevitably
is we would see Rosario Dawson like leaving a set
and she's got like blue makeup on her hand or something
and people would join the dots.
So even if they didn't announce it,
people would be like, I've figured this out.
We've figured it out.
Anyway, I like it.
I like it too.
Hashtag release the butthole cut.
Are you familiar with this?
So as I understand it.
Yeah, here we go.
Cats, the movie Cats.
Love it.
Which I haven't seen yet.
You also haven't seen Cats, yeah.
We should get to it.
It's out on streaming actually.
Oh, it is?
Okay, well I should probably watch it then.
Probably, I guess, yeah.
Before I go mad.
Yes.
So according to somebody
on Twitter
yeah I'm just
bringing it up now
I mean the news has changed
because the news
is ever changing
but as I understand it
somebody said initially
that there was
a
the initial tweet
was
that
I can read it out
if you would like me to
it's from Jack Waz
a VFX producer
friend of a friend
was hired in November
to finish some of the
400 effect shots in Cats
his entire job
was to remove CGI buttholes
that had been inserted
a few months before
which means that
somewhere out there
there exists a butthole cut
hence hashtag
release the butthole cut
yes
now to be clear
that's buttholes on the Cats
not just free floating buttholes
yeah let's
but I mean who's to say
we're not crude
given what I've heard about given what I've heard about the movie Cats it could just befloating buttholes. But I mean, who's deciding? We're not crude. Given what I've heard about the movie Cats,
it could just be free-floating buttholes in the universe.
But, no pun intended,
the evolving narrative behind this apparently is that
they didn't actually put in buttholes.
This is the tweet I'm trying to find.
There are just some shots where it looks like the cats have buttholes.
Yeah.
And so the producers who are a little bit panicked,
they're like, smooth the butthole out.
Make sure it looks like anything but a butthole.
And it's not just buttholes.
Apparently it's genitalia in general.
Oh, wow.
So if anything, that's just like, that's an odd-looking crease.
We only want the odd-looking creases that we demand,
that we have intended to put in we want we want people to be disturbed but only in the ways
we specifically intended them for to be disturbed we don't want to inadvertently disturb people in
the wrong ways it still blows my mind that they made that fucking movie like i have bearing in
mind i haven't seen it so maybe i'll love it maybe i'll watch it and go this is highly we
talk we talk a lot of garbage about some movies that we haven't seen people know well aware of this but what if we what
if we drag cats for months and then we watch cats and we're like guys you've all got to watch cats
it's good yeah it's objectively a good movie and you're all wrong well you had a moment like that
on twitter didn't you for zorro this week oh yeah that's right uh patrick i've been praising zorro
for bloody years on this podcast.
I've not listened to you when you talk on this podcast
but Patrick Willems, video maker on YouTube
did a video. He does a series of videos
on, he's
all about this movie and why it's great. And I'm like
I never liked that movie but he makes a strong case.
I always liked that movie and Zorro.
I'm a big Zorro fan. When are we going to get Zorro
of the future as promised? I thought you were going to say when are we
going to get Zorro on the show? I'd love to get Zorro on the show. You do a big Z on the wall and are we going to get Zorro of the future as promised? I thought you were going to say, when are we going to get Zorro on the show?
I'd love to get Zorro on the show.
You do a big Z on the wall and I'd be like,
I'd have to obviously buff that out or something.
That's going to ruin the acoustics of this room, Zorro.
He's cool.
You don't think he's cool?
No, never mind.
And you could do a sequel to that.
Be like, it's Zorro.
They did a sequel to that.
No, like another, not the one with the sun or whatever.
I mean like another, another sequel.
It's a good movie. The first one at least yeah god it's fucking sorry man it's cool maybe i'll give it another rewatch but in in watching that video i like checked all the streamings and i
couldn't find it so of course because somebody thought of it somebody thought of it exactly
all right so we know that expressvpn protects your privacy and security online right we all
know that everyone knows that but here's something you might right? We all know that. Everyone knows that.
But here's something you might not know.
I'm ready.
You can use ExpressVPN to unlock movies and shows that are only available in other countries.
I did not know that.
Tell me more.
That's right.
Well, I've got so many things to say.
Now that so many of us are stuck at home, it's only a matter of time until you run out of stuff to watch on Netflix.
People are coming up against that all the time, bumping up against it, Mason.
I've got two episodes left of Netflix.
That's all I've got.
So get this right.
This week leading up, there's a few things that I've actually watched
using ExpressVPN from other countries.
Oh, hello.
Right?
Yes.
New movies, Jay and Silent Bob reboot, The Hunt, Onward,
they're not available in Australia as of yet to purchase and watch.
But they're available somewhere other than Australia.
That's right.
And you just transfer it over and then zippity-doo-dah, as they say.
Yeah, that's right.
So it's really simple to do.
You just fire up the ExpressVPN app, change your location to the UK or wherever, refresh
Netflix or whatever it is you're doing, and that's it.
You see, ExpressVPN hides your IP address and lets you control where you want sites
to think you're located.
Very canny.
Guess how many there are you can choose from?
100!
I was going to say one,
but that's significantly more than what I was thinking.
That's right.
There's 100 different countries to choose from,
so just think about how many Netflix libraries you can go through.
Do you love anime?
Well, if you use ExpressVPN,
you can access Japanese Netflix and spirit it away,
or and be spirited away, I should say.
Okay, I like it.
That's right. But it's not just Netflix. As mentioned, it and be spirited away, I should say. Ah, okay, I like it. That's right.
But it's not just Netflix, as mentioned.
It works with any streaming service.
Hulu, BBC iPlayer, YouTube, you name it.
There's a lot of good stuff on BBC iPlayer.
Oh my goodness.
That I've never been able to watch.
I've just heard the legends.
Well, now you know.
Incredible.
There are hundreds of VPNs out there,
but the reason why we're using ExpressVPN to watch shows
is that it's ridiculously fast.
There's never any buffering or lag, you can stream in hd no problem and expressvpn is also
compatible with all your devices phones media consoles smart tvs and more so you can watch what
you want on a personal device or on a big screen wherever you are very nice if you visit our special
link right now at expressvpn.com weekly planet you can get an extra three months of expressvpn.com slash weeklyplanet. You can get an extra three months of ExpressVPN
for free.
Support the show,
watch what you want
and protect yourself
with ExpressVPN
at expressvpn.com
slash weeklyplanet.
On with the show?
Yes.
I mean, we'd love to go
and watch some things right now.
I kind of would.
Why are we still doing the show?
Because we have to.
Oh, okay, fine.
I'll do the show.
Here at whatever this is,
we love streaming movies and shows and whatever.
Yeah, we love anything that streams.
And you had the idea.
We can't see any streams right now in real life because we stay inside.
Don't look at them.
Don't look at them.
So you had the idea a while back before all of this shit went down that we should do like a Disney plus deep dive.
But then we were like, but there's so much out there that else we could talk about.
Yeah, like the movies that are coming to theatres.
But now there's no movies coming to theatres.
So we're just going to do this every week.
Talk about all the weird stuff that's come to Disney+.
Now I should point out the stuff that we're going through
is strictly the stuff in Australia.
It varies from country to country.
We're all going through stuff.
Sure, but maybe you could use a VPN to find the Disney+,
that you choose, you know what I mean?
Yeah, that's right.
That is right.
So when you go into movies in Disney Plus,
and the reason we've chosen this one particularly is because...
Because we want to talk about Gus,
the mule that is good at kicking a football.
We've talked about it before.
We will never stop talking about Gus.
So we want to go through and find some of the weirdest stuff that's on here
that also I think could jog some memories
because there's some stuff in there that's like, oh, shit,
I remember that.
I thought I dreamed that.
That's right.
It's one of the Weekly Planet's famous, hey, I remember that, episodes.
Do you remember some things?
Let us know.
WeeklyPlanetPod at gmail.com.
Do you have a list?
I have a list.
I have a list of many things.
See, when you go to Disney Plus and you go to movies,
we'll just do movies.
Okay.
We'll do the –
But I've got TV series here.
Oh, whatever. I've got so many TV series. You just do whatever. Yeah. do the but i've got tv series here whatever
yeah okay so when you do it it says featured but you don't want featured because it's like
frozen 2 the lion king the art of racing in the rain or whatever oh so the popular stuff yeah but
if you go the basic bitch stuff all movies a to z immediately it's like what like straight away
really so yeah what's in a uh do you want to talk about well there's like 10 there's like what? Like straight away. Really? So yeah. What's an A?
Do you want to talk about,
well,
there's like 10,
there's like numbered ones.
Okay.
All right. Sorry.
I forgot about numbers.
But the ones that really caught my eye is the Adventures of Bullwhip Griffin.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
So are you familiar with this?
All I'm familiar with is we found it.
We were like,
maybe we should talk about some movies.
And the first thing we saw was The Adventures of Bullwhip Griffin,
and then we laughed and laughed, James.
But maybe we shouldn't be laughing.
Maybe we'll watch it one day and we'll be laughing on the other side of our face.
So it's a Western family comedy action adventure.
It goes for 150 minutes.
It's from 1967.
150 minutes.
1967.
And you know 20 of that is those credits up top.
Right up top, exactly, yeah.
Matt, you know what?
I don't want to tell Disney their business or anything,
but I'm thinking maybe if you want people to watch any of these,
maybe just a little editing switcheroo, put the credits at the end.
Absolutely.
For all these movies,
because people are not going to sit through this stuff.
My God, there's some bumper stuff in the recommended below as well,
including the Apple Dumpling Gang.
Hang on, what happens in The Adventures of Bull and Griffin? And the Apple Dumpling Gang. Hang on, what happens in the Adventures of Paula Griffin?
And the Apple Dumpling Gang right again.
Yeah, of course.
We all know the Adventures of the Apple Dumpling Gang right again.
We know.
So to restore his family's lost wealth,
a young Boston lad named Jack stows away on a ship
for the California Gold Rush,
fearful that the boy may not fare well out in the West.
The family's very proper butler gives chase.
Once the two reunite in San Francisco,
the duo is destined to non-stop adventure
while wild and woolly characters as they lucky,
and a lucky punch that leads to a bonanza of belly laughs.
This program is presented as originally created
and may contain outdated cultural depictions.
We're going to come across that quite a bit, I'd imagine.
All right, now that's all well and good,
but which person is Bullwhip Griffin?
The kid, I assume.
Not the butler?
It's not going to be the butler.
Look at this guy.
It could be the butler.
No, because he's marauding around the plains in a bowler hat.
Okay, right, right.
And he's carrying an umbrella.
There could be a bullwhip in that umbrella.
That's true.
Remember the guy in Buffy and Angel, and he was the hoity-toity watcher?
Yeah.
And then he became the cool- Then he got atoity watcher yeah and then he was all then
he became the cool then he got a bullwhip yeah then he got a bullwhip he became with a cool
bullwhip watcher anyway that looks great what have you got well look i as as is tradition every week
i start my day i wake up make a cup of coffee i check my emails and i see if condor man is on
disney plus and it's not. Maybe it is in America.
Maybe I'll get that VPN.
This is outrageous.
You absolute sons of bitches.
But if I may, a movie that I have watched,
I watched on Disney Plus recently and I still enjoyed was The Rocketeer.
That's a fucking banger, mate.
It's a banger.
It's a world-class banger.
Yeah, so that's from the director of The First Avenger, Captain America.
That's right.
And it shows because there's a lot of similarities between those two.
Brown leather.
That's it.
Inexplicable technology that would not work in real life.
Nazis, obviously.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And at the end, Bubblegum is the undoing of the villain.
That's so true.
I'm going to hate to jump ahead and spoil it.
Yeah.
Well, that's what happens at the end of the first Avenger as well.
It's true. He's going to use to jump ahead and spoil it. Yeah. Well, that's what happens at the end of the first Avenger as well. It's true.
He's going to use the Tesseract to destroy Captain America.
Then he realizes that Captain America has taken the bubble gum off the side of the Tesseract.
And all the Tesseract juices leak down.
It's all over the floor.
And he's like, ah.
And then he bursts into blue flames and he shoots up into a sky beam.
Ten years later, he's a ghost somewhere.
That's right.
Well, actually, no.
Like 70 years later, he's a ghost somewhere.
Great stuff.
So you watched that recently, though.
Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
What's up?
Everybody's good in it.
Alan Arkin?
Yeah.
Right?
Timothy Dalton.
Timothy Dalton.
Should we spoil the villains in that?
It's Timothy Dalton.
He's a Nazi.
It's not.
So he's an-
If you don't think that he's the villain, the moment he steps on screen-
Yeah, but this was-
He was still Bond, technically, at this point.
Oh, that's true, yeah.
This is post- Well, that shows his range. Yeah, absolutely, it does. Well, this point. Oh, that's true, yeah. This is post.
Well, that shows his range.
Yeah, absolutely it does.
Well, he's Errol Flynn, isn't he?
Yes.
He's got a tweedly little moustache.
That's true, yeah.
Jennifer Connelly also.
I can't remember the name of the guy who's actually the Rocketeer.
It's Campbell.
Something Campbell.
Something Campbell.
Something Campbell.
I'll bet no money on that.
I remember he showed up in the OC.
Oh, as a dad?
Yeah.
As someone's dad?
As someone's dad.
I'm like, that's the rocket.
Billy Campbell.
Billy Campbell.
There you go.
Yeah.
All right.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, Terry O'Quinn's in it from Lost.
Remember the guy from Lost?
Yes.
He's like, the island.
The island.
It's got secrets.
My legs.
Yeah.
But they work now.
Yeah, that's right.
Spoilers for Lost season one.
Why is that?
Magnetism?
Why don't you shut up?
How about that?
You don't know.
No one knows.
I can't remember.
No one knows.
Anyway, look, before we move on, just imagine Billy Campbell.
He's the dad of a kid from the wrong side of the tracks on the OC.
Yeah.
And he's got a rocket pack.
He's always just like, don't make me come over and put,
do I have to bail you out of jail again, guy from the OC?
Well, here I come in my rocket pack.
The gum's back on it. Yeah, that's right.
That's
what a movie, I think.
From what I remember watching it on television.
The cops and the gangsters team up at the end.
And they're looking at each other and they're like, we're both shooting
Tommy guns and we're not happy about it.
No, that's right. That's for America.
Yeah, America.
Good old-fashioned American crime, you know?
Cops and criminals working together.
It's a real metaphor for America, if you ask me.
Oh, shit.
That's right.
Have you ever seen The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad?
No.
I'm aware of the concept of Ichabod Crane.
So these are two separate movies, I believe.
Yes.
So they don't actually meet.
But do you remember...
Oh, it's a fun parallel adventure situation.
You know the story of Ichabod Crane though, right?
He's the headless horseman guy.
I remember this cartoon being super spooky as a kid.
And what about now?
I don't know.
Based on the thumbnail.
It looks whimsical.
I guess for an hour and eight.
But when you're a kid, whimsy is terrifying. Whimsy is terrifying. Because you don't know what's going to happen. And I won't have. I haven't seen it. Based on the thumbnail. It looks whimsical. I guess for an hour and eight. But when you're a kid, whimsy is terrifying.
Whimsy is terrifying.
Because you don't know what's going to happen.
And I won't have it, quite frankly.
My goodness.
Well, I was going to say whimsy that it was also terrifying is Return to Oz.
Is that on here?
I don't know.
Who knows?
We'll find out, though, at some point.
Here's the thing, though.
Like, Return to Oz.
Yeah.
Those dudes with the wheels for hands.
Wheelies.
Why was I terrified of them?
Because they can't pick anything up?
Yeah.
Because I fear that magic will turn me into a man who can't pick anything up?
So what's going to happen?
How do I text my friends?
Well, it's the 80s.
You're not texting nobody.
You're screaming.
I guess.
But I mean, if my hands are wheels, I don't even...
How do I put my finger in the rotary telephone?
Oh, yeah.
And call my friends.
Wait, so your fear is that you're...
I don't know.
They're not attacking...
I thought they were attacking you, but you're talking, what if you were one?
Yeah, maybe that's it. I don't think they'd turn you into thought they were attacking you but you're talking what if you were one yeah I don't think they
turn you into one
they just chase you about
then I should probably
text my childhood self
and tell them
not to worry about it
the thing is as well
then I'd probably
be terrified of that
what is this weird time phone
but even if a kid
like if you were a kid
say you were 12
yes
and you had a cricket bat
I don't think that's a problem
because they come at you
head first
yeah
and you just
you'd cave every one
of their heads in.
You've not even hit them in the leg.
They've got some real long arms and legs going on there.
You just hit them in a couple of those.
Yeah.
Go down like a sack of potatoes, let me tell you.
What else have we got?
Have you seen the Silver Surfer cartoon?
No, I haven't.
It's on there and it's incredible.
In a what way?
It's like the kirby art style came
to life is this the pre uh the fantastic four 60s terrible series you know this is from like
hang on i'll look it up this is from like the the early 2000s oh really yes what i didn't know about
this at all no you should watch it here we go go. I'm going to give you some facts about this cartoon.
What facts?
This came in in 1998.
Give it a googs.
Give it a googs and look at some of that art.
I will right now.
Who is it from?
Who did it?
This is from Fox.
Fox Kids.
Oh, so they were like, we're riding half X-Men.
We're going to play.
It went 13 episodes, so you can knock it all out in a day.
Oh, shit.
This is legit.
Galactus is in it?
It's like a mix of traditional animation
and then computer-generated space situations.
Whoa, this is incredible.
Right?
How have I never heard of this?
The Watch is in it.
Ego's in it.
Drax is in it.
Dracula's in it?
Yeah, Dracula's in it.
Oh, my God.
He's got a space helmet on.
It's difficult to suck somebody's blood
if you've got a space helmet on and you're in space suck somebody's blood if you've got a space helmet on
and you're in space.
And also the person you're trying to suck their blood,
they've got like an indestructible silver coating on their body.
Incredible.
Right?
This is a great time to be alive.
And it's real like, it's real verbose and real like, you know,
old school Silver Surfer is like, oh.
You know, Silver Surfer is the embodiment of that guy
in like a Renaissance painting. He's like putting his hand to his head like, oh, you know, he's, Silver Surfer's the embodiment of that guy in like a Renaissance painting.
He's like putting his hand to his head like, oh, you know.
Oh, the pain of, oh, existentialist pain.
So he's not in physical pain.
He's just like, oh, existence.
Oh, the very, oh, the infinite.
The thought of it.
Right.
Yeah.
Oh, space.
But this guy's like.
Exactly.
It's like, imagine being the guy who's in the Renaissance painting
and he's like, oh, the pain of life,
but he can also shoot lasers out of his hands
and he can fly on a surfboard through space.
Unbelievable in every conceivable way.
Yeah.
I hope you like the Apple Dumpling Gang, Mason,
because here we are.
Actually, I've accidentally clicked on the Apple Dumpling Gang rides again.
Oh, no.
Let's not jump into that too.
Okay.
Let's save that for the follow-up episode.
All right.
But anyway, if I'm going to give you one recommendation for Disney+,
it's watch The Silver Surfer.
Okay, I'll do it.
I actually will.
Sick.
The Apple Dumpling Gang is a movie from 1975.
Okay.
That seems too late for something called an Apple Dumpling Gang.
It feels like a real Lil Rascal's Depression era situation.
Yeah, sure.
Well, listen to this. Okay. The hilarity begins when a bachelor inherits three young orphans who stumble across a
huge gold nugget a lot of these things just about finding gold in the old west yeah yes was that the
dream yeah i guess it was yeah yeah just simpler times where you'd get a toothache and then you'd
wake up and your face had fallen off or whatever. You're stabbing a people.
Sounds bad.
Yeah, bad.
But I guess you could replace all your teeth with gold.
No, you're dead.
You died already.
I guess in your coffin they could replace your teeth with gold.
Your whole head with gold.
Oh, my God, gold head.
Yeah.
And then, hear me out.
I'm listening.
Other treasure hunters would try and find your gold head.
The legend of gold head. The legend of Goldhead.
The legend of Goldhead.
Exactly.
Then they too would succumb to the toothache situation and become Goldheads.
Well, everyone in town is after their claims.
The kids join forces with two bumbling outlaws to stage a robbery to get it back.
This program is presented as originally created, etc, etc.
Probably racist.
So there you go.
And the second one, they're in jail.
So I guess they didn't get away with it.
Who's to say?
It's not important.
Maybe they were jailed for unrelated crimes in between movies.
You know how the Marvel movies, you know,
stuff happens in between the movies and we catch up with them again.
Oh, my God.
Maybe that was based on the precursor was the Apple Dumpling Gang.
Yes.
Yeah, in the Apple Dumpling Gang cinematic universe.
The ADG. apple dumpling gang yes yeah in the apple dumpling gang cinematic universe the adg
the dumper verse as i call it yeah yeah so much of this stuff is like old west like adventure
crap that's because you've watched you watched one thing and it's ruined your algorithm
that's how that's happening i'm doing no, I'm doing it in order. All right, okay. I'm alphabetical order. What else have you got?
Every episode of Inhumans is on
Inhumans.
What?
Oh, is it?
Yeah.
They really bury
that, don't they?
They absolutely do.
That does not pop
up at all.
The forgotten
Marvel series.
I mean, look,
there's good stuff
on there.
Agent Carter is on
there in its entirety
is on Disney Plus.
But yeah, Inhumans
is on there.
So it's all the
ABC Marvel stuff.
Is Agents of the
Shield on there?
I don't know. I don't know i don't
know let me check please do i won't okay i will though but anyway if you were like what's the low
point of the uh if you're out there and you're like man iron fist as we mentioned was the real
low point for marvel tv you've not not seen a goddamn single thing in humans yeah yep it's on
there there you go but which seasons Probably not all of them. One.
Just one.
Just season one.
Yeah.
The worst season.
Yeah, it's got some moments.
It twists at the twist from Winter Soldier.
Yes, it does, yeah.
And it gets slightly more interesting.
And then it gets better in general, apparently.
I think so, yeah.
But I wasn't there.
It's still going, though.
Yeah.
Everybody loving it.
You feel with the bear and I?
No.
It's 1974. Let me. Yeah. Everybody loving it. You feel with the bear and I? No. It's 1974.
Let me just get ahead of this.
Everything you're going to say for the remainder of this episode,
every title you pick out to recommend to me, I haven't heard of it.
Nor will I watch it, I'll be honest with you.
What's our adventure of Bob Leslie?
To be clear, everything you say is just dumb stuff that we're going to make fun of.
None of it's an actual recommendation.
So you picked like real good stuff.
Yes.
Oh, right.
I thought we were going to do it.
Watch your rabbits on there.
It's a great movie.
It's a great movie.
When solo adventurer Bob Leslie, two first names,
suddenly finds himself in charge of three mischievous bear cubs.
At least it's not three first names because then you know serial killer.
That's true.
He encounters unexpected resentment from members of the local tribe
which believe that bears are sacred creatures and should roam free.
Yeah, because look at the image here.
He's strangling a bear on a leash.
It looks like they're supposed to be having an adventure together,
but it just looks like he's captured it.
He's captured a bear.
Bears don't want to be on a leash.
They don't like that.
I don't know much about bears,
but I've never seen one in the wild wearing a leash.
I don't think they like it.
Anyway, when's that from?
1974.
With the feud approaching dangerous proportions,
the mystical powers of the revered elder are called upon in one last attempt to restore peace.
Oh, there's a native elder with mystical powers.
Yeah, very good.
Does it have that little proviso at the end of the description there?
Yes, yes, et cetera.
This is racist.
Socially inappropriate.
Yeah, okay, cool, cool.
That's really good stuff.
Yeah, isn't it just?
Oh, my goodness.
Here's a movie that nobody saw at the cinema,
and I will probably watch five minutes of it at some point,
but I would definitely like people who didn't see it at cinemas
maybe check it out and let us know what you think of it.
The movie Tomorrowland.
Who's that movie for?
Who's it for?
It's for George Clooney's kids if he has any, which he does now maybe.
Probably.
I don't know.
I thought he was going to bash it.
So for people who don't know, Brad Bird, who directed The Incredibles
and one of the best Mission Impossible movies,
he was kind of riding high on that, I feel.
Yeah.
He was riding high on that and also Disney had some success
with turning other rides into successful movie franchises.
The Haunted Mansion.
Exactly.
But more specifically, the Pirates franchise.
But Tomorrowland isn't a ride, is it?
Isn't it like-
It's a land, I guess.
It's a Disney region, I guess.
And so Brad Bird got to make his passion project,
which is Tomorrowland.
Which is a weird 1960s throwback.
Oh my God, it's such a weird movie.
Yeah.
And it's so expensive.
Right?
It must have been.
Yeah.
It must have been hundreds of-
I didn't mind it, though. But who's it for? Yeah, exactly. I think the demographic is me and you. But it's so expensive. Right? It must have been. Yeah. I didn't mind it, though.
But who's it for?
Yeah, exactly.
I think the demographic is me and you.
But it's not even, it doesn't even.
But I wouldn't have seen it if it wasn't for this.
I still wouldn't have seen it.
No.
And in retrospect, not a lot of it makes sense.
Yes.
Like the whole premise of the movie, if I remember correctly, is, hey, everybody out there, you're all out there consuming this dystopian media.
How about don't do that?
And it's like, well, that's what this movie is.
Yeah.
Why are you making a movie about it?
Why are you doing that?
Yeah.
Oh, my goodness.
And it's about a secret society of scientists that exists in a parallel dimension.
They built a parallel dimension.
Eulary.
And they just hoard all their scientific achievements.
Because Eulary.
Because Eulary's a bad scientist.
Yeah, or a good scientist.
I mean, he's good at science.
Yeah, but is he a bad, bloke scientist? It seems that way, yeah. Yeah. Good robot stuff in that. Yeah, or a good scientist. I mean, he's good at science. Yeah, but is he a bad bloke scientist?
It seems that way, yeah.
Yeah.
Good robot stuff in that.
Yeah.
Cool.
Have you seen Bedknobs and Broomsticks?
And it's a good, yes, I have seen Bedknobs and Broomsticks.
I don't like it.
Okay, but again, it's Tomorrowland.
It's amazing exploration of that sci-fi, that 1960s future.
Yes.
Like there are movies that are about like a 1980s,
you know, Cyberpunk's a great example.
Zathura was like a similar.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, it's a great, it's just aesthetically,
it's this great exploration of that 1960s future of ray guns
and jetpacks and flying cars and stuff.
But what's it for?
Who knows?
What is it for?
What is it for?
Here's a question for you.
Which of the three Beverly Hill Chihuahua movies have you seen?
Oh, when I talk about bed knobs and broomsticks?
No, I don't want to.
Do you want to talk about it?
It's flying bed and there's cartoon lines and they play a soccer game or something.
They fly through all kinds of parallel universes.
Apparently it's got Nazis in it as well.
Yeah, of course it's got Nazis in it.
It's got Nazis in it.
And the whole point is that the, look, all I remember about it is these kids live with a,
their housekeeper's a witch or something and she enchants a bed knob. Yes. The whole point is that the, look, all I remember about it is these kids live with a, their
housekeeper's a witch or something, and she enchants a bed knob, which is the knob at
the end of your bed, like on the corners.
Those are long paws you put in there.
Yeah, well, I'm trying to, I'm still pretty sure this isn't real.
But she enchants it so it's like it glows, and then the bed can fly.
They all get on the bed, and they fly into an animated world.
It's basically Mary Poppins but not as good.
Do they make movies like this anymore?
They try not to.
Like nightmare movies?
Like nightmare movies.
Yeah.
Because this movie is the kind of movie that you would make
if you're having a bad dream and you woke up
and you thought your bed knob was haunted, right?
Oh, my goodness.
So, yeah, look, I've got a real one, though, obviously.
Okay, do you?
This one I've just clicked on.
It's from 1968.
It's called Blackbeard's Ghost.
And it's about Blackbeard.
This still isn't a real one.
It's black-hearted scoundrel.
Also, you skipped one.
You skipped something.
I perfectly was too out.
There we go.
What do you want me to say about it?
I don't know.
It's probably voiced by Reese Witherspoon.
How the fuck?
I don't fucking know anything about it.
Are we going to burn through all these?
Are we going to do another episode?
I'll end it on B.
Okay, good.
Blackbeard, listen to this.
This is incredible.
How about this?
We keep doing these episodes.
Not in a row, but we'll keep doing these episodes
until we've run out of good stuff to talk about.
Once we go through this very small list of good things.
Blackbeard, the once black-hearted scoundrel materializes in a small new england town cursed to wander in limbo until
he performs a good deed gets a chance when he decides to help a local college track team
one that hasn't had a what what year is this did you say 68 wow look him. He's not even like a fit man.
What's Blackbeard doing for you?
So Blackbeard, the notoriously cruel and violent real life pirate.
Was he real?
Hang on.
I'm going to look it up.
He has to coach a track team.
This feels like a 30 Rock sketch and not a good one.
Okay. So he's real.
Yep.
Okay, what I'm going to do, what we're going to do is explain the –
can you bring up the plot summary for Blackbeard's –
Yeah, I got it.
Like the Wikipedia one, like the long one.
And what I'm going to – you can give us some plot points
and then I'll intersperse that with horrible things he did in his real life.
No problem.
I'm happy to do it.
All right.
Here we go.
Oh, he's on a motorbike?
Actually, you know what?
I'm going to maybe have to walk it back because the Wikipedia page for actual Blackbeard says
he was a shrewd and calculating leader who spurned the use of violence.
Oh, there you go.
Instead of relying on his fearsome image.
But I mean, maybe that's by the standard of actual pirates.
Yeah, exactly.
Maybe he killed like 50 people
but that's
you know
anyway I can't do a synopsis
this is the longest synopsis
I've got
because otherwise
it's just the plot
okay that's
so Blackbeard finds himself
full of team spirit
departing from his roguish ways
because of his
and dispensing his own brand
of invisible coaching
so I guess he's also
invisible
what is he ghost
obviously
why is there a picture of him maybe like only the coach can see him or something maybe only So I guess he's also invisible. Well, he's a ghost, obviously.
Why is there a picture of him?
Maybe only the coach can see him or something.
Maybe only the, that's the 60s. This is Angels in the Outfield slash that movie where Hugh Jackman goes to modern New York.
Slash like Bewitched slash I Dream of Jeannie kind of vibe, right?
Who the fuck greenlit that?
I don't know.
I'm like, man, there's a lot of...
The Wikipedia page for Blackbeard is insanely long.
He was attacked and killed by a rival ship's crew.
Classic.
His body was examined and noted that it had been shot five times
and cut 20 times.
His corpse was thrown into an inlet
and his head was suspended from the bow spirit of a ship
so that the reward for his death could be collected.
But he's okay?
Yeah.
So you do imagine he's severed.
Maybe this should have been if he's just his severed head.
Absolutely.
He's coaching this team.
Oh, my goodness.
You think?
But, I mean, that obviously,
because what happens with ghosts usually is they have unfinished business on them.
Sure, yeah, yeah.
And that's why they return from the spirit realm.
So obviously what's happened here is.
It's waited too long.
Yeah.
Maybe because he, maybe he died.
Like I'm not, maybe I won't go through his wiki here the whole way,
but maybe he died.
Maybe he's back because he didn't feel he fully,
he fully impressed on his crew team spirit.
Yeah.
And that, and then he was killed.
So his team was ultimately
the ones that let him down yeah yeah yeah or maybe he feels oh he didn't help them enough
he's making amends i think oh my god blackbeard sounds amazing yeah and he coached that team
coach that team to success probably yep yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah god that guy needs like
what a shit idea for a movie.
Or the best idea.
Yeah, you might be right.
Incredible, all right?
We should remake it.
What do you got?
Oh, right, back to that.
Back to a good one.
Sorry, I'm just on.
I was just, Gargoyles.
The cartoon series Gargoyles. From the makers of Batman the Animated Series.
That's right.
Imagine, though, a castle and you've been cursed to remain as a stone gargle
unless it goes above the clouds.
Well, that seems like I would never escape that particular curse.
You would think that.
Right.
And you'd be right.
Oh, no.
That's the show Gargoyles.
It's pretty good.
Until they get frozen.
Oh, yeah, that happens.
That is not as good because they're just frozen.
Yeah.
A rich guy does it.
He puts the castle under his building.
A rich guy voiced by Jonathan Frakes.
Yes.
It's a real...
Gargoyle situation. It's a real... Gargoyle situation.
It's a real gargoyle situation,
but I'm saying it's also a real...
I think it's a real Star Trek The Next Generation
of cast members, I think.
Yeah, that's...
Yes.
So who are the others?
I'm going to look it up.
All right, I can do that too.
Wow.
I guess it's a race to see who can look up a thing the fastest.
I found it the firstest.
So Keith David.
Marina Sirtis.
Deanna Troi. Oh yeah, she is too.
Frank Welker, not on
Star Trek. But not on Star Trek.
So there's at least two. There you go.
Tim Curry's in this. They've probably given him one
because they cast him as the Joker
and then replaced him as the Joker. Oh yeah, they sure did.
Alright, Tim Curry, you can have this one.
When I said it was a real
Star Trek The Next Generation reunion,
I just meant Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis.
But still.
Yeah.
But still.
But anyway, they're cursed.
And then the billionaire, he puts the gargoyles above the clowns.
And now he's like, now you work.
They come back in modern day New York.
But they owe him or something.
Yes.
Or something?
Yes.
And also at one point they're like, oh, our mate died.
Our gargoyle mate. He was smashed. But then they bring him back're like Ah our mate died Our gargoyle mate
He was smashed
But then they bring him back
And they put him in a robot
Robot gargoyle's body
And I'm like
This shit is insane
I like this a lot
That is insane
It's a good show maybe
Yes
But also potentially not
Maybe it doesn't hold up
I don't know
Let us know if you've watched it recently
I will
I haven't watched it recently
Okay cool
Maybe you should watch it recently
Have you seen the movie Cheetah
From 1989 Because I have No and why Do you want real ones or not I haven't watched it recently. Okay, cool. Maybe you should watch it recently. Have you ever seen the movie Cheetah from 1989?
Because I have.
Do you want real ones or not?
I don't know if this is a real one or not.
I still don't know.
They're all real.
But I mean, do you want like good ones?
I've watched it as a kid.
Okay, what is it?
Because remember there'd be like a Saturday night Disney movie or whatever when we were kids?
Yeah, sure.
Yeah, cool.
So an orphaned cheetah cub is adopted and raised by an American family.
Is this animated?
No.
Vacationing in Africa.
When he's stolen by corrupt gamblers, teenagers Ted and Susan set out alone to fight an uncharted
wilderness or whatever.
Anyway, it hasn't said it here, but in the end, they make the cheetah race in a greyhound race.
How do they do that?
They just put him in the cage.
And so the gangsters are
like oh because cheetahs are good at a lot of a really short distance yeah so we're gonna everyone's
gonna put all the money on the cheetah right then the cheetah will slow down and the greyhounds will
take over but they've got a special cheetah whistle oh cheetah cheetah cheetah cheetah
and then the cheetah and then you'll hear it and go faster so the cheetah ends up winning the race
and the cheetah think the whistle is?
Like a dying person they can eat?
I don't know exactly.
But at the end after that thing.
A baby they can eat?
Maybe.
But after that thing at the end, like in Harry and the Hendersons,
where they want the cheetah to go back to the, whatever, the plains.
The wilderness.
They have to be like, get out of here, cheetah.
We don't even love you anymore.
And they're all crying.
And I'm like. The cheetah's like, fine.
I didn't want to do a race.
Jesus.
I'm a cheetah.
What the fuck are you even doing? Okay. But when I said, how do they make the cheetah's like, fine, I didn't want to do a race. Fucking Jesus, I'm a cheetah. What the fuck are you even doing?
Okay, but when I said how do they make the cheetah race,
I meant more in the context of-
Why doesn't it eat the other dogs?
Well, that, but I mean more in the context.
That is also a good question.
That's question three.
But question two is how did they do it in the movie?
How did the producers of the movie make that happen?
Is that puppets?
I'd love to.
You know what?
I'll look it up. I'll see if I can find a video. Because you couldn't run it with a bunch of dogs. No, that happen? Is that a puppet? I'd love to. You know what? I'll look it up.
I'll see if I can find a video.
Because you couldn't run it with a bunch of dogs.
No, is it a puppet on a stick?
Did they paint a dog?
Did they paint a dog in cheetah colours?
They painted a dog.
Wow.
What else have you got while I'm looking this up?
While I find out whether this cheetah actually.
Oh, let's have a look.
Oh, every episode of the TV, the cartoon series Gravity Falls.
I've never seen it.
It's real fun.
It's real fun.
I don't know.
It's probably too advanced for your kid.
I was going to say, I thought you were going to say for me.
For you.
For your kid and anyone with your DNA.
Yeah, right.
So, yeah.
I found the exact clip of the cheetah.
Okay, I'm ready.
He's got the cheetah whistle.
So, I'm not seeing any other dogs in the shot.
I'm just seeing the cheetah running.
Okay.
Doing a live. Does it look like it's in? Does it look like it's on? It's on the cheetah whistle. So I'm not seeing any other dogs in the shot. I'm just seeing the cheetah running. Okay. Doing a live.
Does it look like it's in?
Does it look like it's on a greyhound track?
It's on the track.
It's on a greyhound track for real.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This cheetah might actually win this race.
This is crazy.
This is exactly.
Oh, my God.
Look, a cheetah and a dog in the same shot.
It's going to maul that dog.
That is a cheetah.
Wow.
Yeah, they really did it.
That's amazing.
They must have fed it beforehand.
But it's only one dog, you notice? Oh, yeah, yeah. They must have buddied up with it. Maybe it's a, yeah, it's a, wow. Yeah, they really did it. That's amazing. They must have fed it beforehand. But it's only one dog, you notice?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
They must have buddied up with it.
Maybe it's a, yeah, it's a buddy situation.
It's an unlikely animal friend situation.
Oh, my God, they actually did that.
And also, what year was this?
89.
It wouldn't matter if it ate the dog?
That's exactly what I'm saying there, yeah.
I mean, that's, I feel that's on,
I feel that's well within the pocket of what nobody would know if it actually-
Here it is running with a pack of dogs chasing it.
Yeah.
Look at that.
You know what?
Maybe it's a pack mentality thing.
Like if you just get one cheetah and there's a pack of dogs,
it won't attack the dogs because it thinks the dogs will kill it.
Maybe that's what happens. And it's also chasing the rabbit but i also feel it's it's
right in the pocket of if a cheetah killed the dog during the production of the movie no one would
know yeah that's exactly right yeah so and it probably did anyway that's incredible great movie
so you've seen that for real it's wow wow i mean that wasn't in the description and i described it
to a t that is true yeah. Your story checks out.
Anyway, Gravity Falls is about these two twin kids,
Dipper and Mabel, and they travel to Gravity Falls.
Yeah.
And they sort of hang out in the wilderness because they go there for summer vacation.
They just do some exploring and there's mysterious occurrences.
Doesn't it only happen every, like,
they don't make them that often either?
Like it's been gone for ages?
That's a good question.
It ran from 2012 to 2016 okay
i think levin's loves that show wouldn't he just yeah he would just he bloody would typical
do you know the computer shout out to levin's side note a couple things about levin's uh because
he's a dj he's lost a lot of uh yeah work this this this year basically he's putting on his
patreon he's putting up like mixes.
Yeah.
Like musical mixes.
That's right.
And what if you're like, what if you want to hear a good musical mix though?
Where could you go?
To Levins' Patreon.
That's, yeah.
Right?
Perfect.
And he's putting up like his new mixes, but he's also putting up like his past mixes for
like events.
Like one time he did the Meredith Music Festival and he just played Justin Bieber's Sorry
like a whole bunch of times in a row to a live audience
and they all hated him.
Why did he do that?
Because he felt like it.
He's a loose unit, this guy.
I appreciate it.
But also I was just thinking earlier about the Gal Gadot Imagine video.
If you recall, he did it first because for an episode of HeyFam,
he got Kevin Smith's tweet.
Yeah, he got a bunch of us to replicate the Kevin Smith.
The tweet.
The tweet.
I don't have to describe it, but the Kevin Smith tweet.
So we all took a line, and that's up there.
If you go to the HeyFam page,
and probably the Planet Broadcasting Great Mates Facebook group,
it's on there as well.
Absolutely check it out.
Good times.
Oh, man. I mean, we have to talk about it. Also, he's got a It's on there as well. Absolutely check it out. Good times. Oh, man.
I mean, we have to talk about him.
Also, he's got a book out.
Yeah, well, it's not out yet.
No, it's coming out.
We're going to get him on the show, hopefully.
Or not.
We'll have to talk about books.
We'll have to do it via Skype, I guess.
But either way, we'll figure something out.
Yeah.
Million Dollar Duck, Mason.
Straight up.
1971.
Which we purchased as a gift for somebody at some point.
Okay, so what happened was my family has a family KK.
Yeah, Chris Kringle.
Chris Kringle.
Yeah.
And I got my-
Secret Santa.
That's right.
I got my brother the one that you don't like.
Yeah, I remember him.
And I thought what would be-
This is probably in the mid to late 2000s.
Yeah.
And I'm like-
Too old for such tomfoolery, but we did it anyway.
I'm like, what I'll get, I'll find the dumbest movie i can and give it to him yeah and he'll but i'll but i'll try and find something sincere so he
thinks it's my grandpa one of my grandparents oh yeah nice so he can't be like and the movie i found
was million dollar duck which is a research scientist brings home a duck from his experimental
laboratory and discovers that it lays golden eggs nice and. And the cover, if you've ever seen it,
is a guy and he's on his hands and knees in the straw
and he's looking for the million dollar duck.
Where's the million dollar duck though?
It's perched on his back.
It's not in the straw at all.
No, it's not.
What I enjoy about that is that it's the story of the goose
that laid the golden eggs, except it's a duck.
So they must have trialed Million Dollar Goose
and it didn't play well.
Not that they did this back in the day.
Million Dollar Duck sounds better than Million Dollar Goose.
That's what I'm talking about.
Oh, my God.
What have you got?
Anything better than that?
Nothing.
Well, I don't have...
I mean, this will be a downward trajectory
because nothing is better than Million Dollar Duck.
But all the Muppets stuff is on.
What do you mean?
Like all the old episodes or all the movies?
All the movies.
All the movies.
Oh, my God.
Right?
Stone Cold Classics, the Muppets movies.
Muppets are a good metaphor for life because they're no good at anything, but they keep trying, you know?
And they keep getting cancelled.
Yeah, and they keep getting cancelled for their behaviour.
Yeah, but their rude behaviour.
Their rude behaviour.
Oh, my goodness.
I saw this week on Twitter somebody pointed out that
in a fight between the Sesame Street characters
and the Muppets characters, the Sesame Street characters would win.
They're bigger.
Well, they're bigger.
They've got an elephant.
But they live on the streets and the Muppets are all like
musical theatre dorks.
Yeah, that's true.
Oh, my goodness.
I'm just going to double check.
Oh, my God.
Fan 4 stickers on all the Fantastic Four movies.
All the Fantastic Four movies are on there.
You're right.
I didn't know that.
I just purchased a bunch of these.
You dumbass.
Well, actually, I didn't purchase the one because it looks like we're doing all the Fantastic Four movies.
That's true.
We are.
For Caravan of Garbage.
And we just recorded the one for the original 1994 movie that never came out.
So what a movie.
Right.
Bad.
Look, on Disney+, we've got Muppets, Muppets Most Wanted,
the Muppet movie, Muppet Christmas Carol, classic.
Love it.
Great Muppet Cape, I like that one.
Muppet Treasure Island, it's a good one.
Oh!
The 2015 Muppet series.
Yep.
Muppet Babies, not interested.
That's about it, but I love the Muppets.
Yeah, they're good, aren't they?
They are very good
Are you familiar with Fuzzbucket
No
A wise and loving
Wise loving but invisible creature
Helps Mikey cope with his parents
In trauma of the first day of junior high
And in return he helps create a concoction
That will make him visible to everyone
He looks like the gobbledonk
You know that chip monster
I'm aware of the Gobble Doc, yes.
Doc, is it?
Yes.
Okay, thank you.
More aware of it than you, clearly.
Nah, he was a chip monster.
God, there's so many, like,
it's all ghosts and old West shit,
all these old movies.
This one's just called,
and I haven't read the synopsis yet,
The Ghosts of Buxley Hall.
And it's from 1980,
which is way too late for this kind of bullshit.
When a hundred-year year old Buxley
Hall Academy finds itself in financial
trouble, the friendly ghosts inhabiting it
look to a 13 year old Jeremy
heir to a large sum of money
to help re-establish the school
and their home. Great.
Sounds awful.
Doesn't it just? Truly, truly
astoundingly bad. You're right, that's
way out of the Yeah 1980 really
Yeah
Also ghosts, again as we've established
Ghosts aren't all about that
No they're not
They're either about getting bloody revenge
Yep
Or coaching a team of sports people
And nothing in between
That's right
Yeah
Good on them though, you know
This is just one about a fucking horse called Hacksaw
Just like we have to go across the old west
Of course you fucking do
Do we need to talk about Gus?
I feel like we've talked about Gus.
We've talked about Gus.
Look, I would like to, we don't have to talk about,
but like we mentioned it earlier, the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie.
Classic.
That's a, that is again, Stone Cold classic.
That's on there and the rest of them are bad, but.
Or have some okay moments, but there's too many of them to bother.
But the first one is still good. I re-watched that on Disney Plus
quite recently and I'm like, holds up, not bad.
This is a movie.
It looks like a mid-2000s one.
Yes.
It's from 99.
It's called Johnny Tsunami.
Johnny.
I shouldn't laugh at that.
Teen surfing champion is forced to move from Hawaii to a tiny ski resort
in Vermont when he gets caught in the middle of a longstanding battle
between a local prep school of skiers and public school snowboarders,
his grandfather helps him become the best athlete on the mountain.
Great.
Good on you, Johnny Sudabi.
I feel like it should say underneath there,
we're aware tsunami is kind of culturally insensitive at this point.
It doesn't say any of that.
Yeah, wow.
Yeah.
Wow. Oh Oh my goodness
All the Lion King's Mason
Yep
Of course
The Little Mermaid 2
The one where Ariel's daughter
Wants to be a mermaid
Because she's a person
How about this one
Because we talked about it
Earlier in the episode
Yeah
National Geographic's
Atlantis Rising
Which is James Cameron
And a documentarian
Go on an epic adventure
To find the lost city of Atlantis
I'd watch that
Yeah totally You know why Because it's an insight Into the mind of an insane man and a documentarian go on an epic adventure to find the lost city of Atlantis. I'd watch that. Yeah, totally.
You know why?
Because it's an insight into the mind of an insane man.
So did he find it?
Oh, yeah.
I think we'd know about it if he did, don't you think?
Probably, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Did you ever see that Atlantis Disney movie with Michael J. Fox?
No.
It's all right.
What about The Luck of the Irish from 2001?
I don't know what that is and I hate it.
2001!
When Kyle loses...! When Kyle...
They find a leprechaun
with like low slung
hipster jeans.
I also wonder...
Like a belly shirt.
When does the...
This was made at the time
and it's racist
and we're sorry.
What year does that stop?
Like the 80s you reckon?
Oh, somebody will know.
Yeah, that's true.
At what point are they like,
yeah, we just got to own this.
Sorry, it's...
Or if...
Or they keep moving it up. After a certain year they'd just be like, oh yeah, that's true. At what point are they like, yeah, we just got to own this. Sorry. Or they keep moving it up.
After a certain year, they'd just be like, oh, yeah, that's true.
As we evolve culturally, things will become more problematic.
Get broke, go broke, bro.
Exactly.
That's right.
Or maybe at a certain point, they're like, we're not apologizing for this at all.
We know what we're doing.
We're okay with it.
You're more racist than us.
Why are we apologizing?
Hey, you watched it. You're more racist than us. Why are we apologising? Hey, you watched it.
You're the real racist.
It should say that
at the end of each movie.
Oh, that's right.
You watch this.
Yeah.
You lose your right
to complain about anything
we do after this.
Oh, you know what it is?
What's going to happen is
we're going to watch
all this stuff
and then in a couple of years
they're going to release
something just real
straight up racist
and we can't complain.
It's not going to sell. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. I'm in a new of years they're going to release something just real straight-up racist and we can't complain. It's like in the South.
Yeah, that's right.
I'm in a new thing, just a fresh new racist take on something.
And then we'll be like, oh, yeah, we did watch all that stuff.
Yeah, we did.
And we endorsed a lot of it on this podcast.
We really did, yeah.
So the lack of the Irish, right?
2001, when Kyle loses his golden pot of gold charm.
Who's Kyle? The guy, the main guy. Is he a leprechaun? Why Kyle loses his golden pot of gold charm. Who's Kyle?
Is he a leprechaun?
Why does he have a thing of gold?
He discovers that he is actually part leprechaun.
He must find the thief who took
the charm before he takes control of
all the leprechauns. Along the way, Kyle
discovers that he's capable of making his own
luck. I wonder why I've never heard
of that terrible sounding movie.
Oh, the answer there is in your question.
Okay.
There's a lot of cheater things out here.
It's like it's the cheater through time.
It's the cheater who got a gun and he rubbed it back in the old west.
The cheater wore tennis shoes.
Oh, my God.
What do you got, Mason?
Oh, my God. What do you got, Mason? Oh, my God.
What do you think of anything new that's on Disney Plus?
It's a lot of like, it's School of Rock, but it's a TV series,
or it's like, you know.
Yeah.
It's High School Musical, but it's whatever.
I tried to get into the Goldblum series.
You know the one where Jeff Goldblum's enthusiastic about everything?
Yeah.
I don't know.
Is he better as a meme or an image doing a shrug?
I think he's better.
I think if you were like, I think he's better when he's just spinning his wheels.
Yeah.
I feel like, cause there's, cause there's, you know, there's a, there's an episode on
like, like denim, you know, there's an episode on like the invention of denim and all these
people that go out and they go out to like, speaking of wild west stuff, they go to like
old gold mines and they find old denim cause it's worth a lot of money and that sort of stuff.
Is it?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Because it's like, well, what?
Because it's an interesting historical artifact.
Yeah.
But also like Levi's buy it because they like, they will often buy like an old pair of jeans and they make a replica of it and stuff like that.
So they've got like this big archive of like just dirty jeans. mason what's mario's favorite um it's denim denim denim
what's his favorite what's his other was made of
my joke no you didn't know you didn't invent the jokes you didn't either no i didn't i stole it
from somebody probably off the internet but uh but i feel like they've they've pre-loaded him
with stuff and yeah it doesn't it doesn't feel authentic doesn't feel that authentic i feel like they've pre-loaded him with stuff. Yeah, okay. It doesn't feel...
Authentic?
It doesn't feel that authentic.
I feel like it...
And again, because it's a Disney kind of thing,
I think they want it all to be arranged to a T.
And whenever I watch a Goldblum video on YouTube or whatever,
it's just him spinning his wheels.
He's surprised and whimsically.
And they just let him talk kind of thing.
And I feel like maybe...
Does he do an intro?
He's like, hey, everybody,
welcome to fucking whatever denim shop finding day.
Yes.
Not good.
Just let him be.
Just tell him on the day and be like, we're looking for denim.
And he's like, what?
They should do it.
They should go to his house in a van and they should shove him in.
They should put a hood on his head and shove him in.
They should stage.
I couldn't have it every time.
And then they just throw it.
And he's like, oh, I'm in a flea market.
What's happening
and then he can just
wander around
that sounds incredible
I'd watch that
but I'm not
I wish I was more
involved in this
scripted Jeff Goldblum
is so early 90s
maybe if you watch
a few episodes
you sort of get on board
but I'm like
maybe it loosens up
yeah because I'm like
well I like Goldblum
and I like denim
surely this episode I'd be like, oh, this is real cool,
but I just couldn't get on board.
There you go.
I don't know.
Maybe you'll be on board for this.
The 1998 movie Meet the Deedles.
Nope.
Two Hawaiian surfer dudes are mistaken for park ranger recruits.
Although they excel at extreme sports, it shifts, doesn't it,
from the old west to extreme sports.
There's no in between. Yeah. It shifts, doesn't it, from the old west to extreme sports. There's no in between.
Yeah.
I think there's some family monster adventures in the 80s
and then it's straight to extreme sports.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Nothing can prepare them for the crazy ex-ranger
who's trying to steal old faithful.
Can they save Yellowstone's trademark landmark in time?
That's it.
I mean, probably.
Probably. Yeah. Sounds good, doesn't it? That's it. I mean, probably. Probably.
Yeah.
Sounds good, doesn't it?
No, it sounds bad.
It's only an hour 34.
You could punch that out.
No problem.
I don't want to, though.
Good.
Good, good, good.
A lot of Frankie Muniz shit.
Are you done?
Well, I mean, hang on.
You don't have to be.
I could very well be done.
What about Mom's Got a Date with a Vampire?
No.
Also, it's a Dracula.
Yeah, it's true.
Do you know Mr. Boogity?
I've talked about this on Suggestible, my other less successful podcast.
Yes.
But this is a thing that traumatized me as a kid.
Okay, Mr. Boogity.
I saw a clip of it as an adult.
And you still traumatized?
Because I thought I maybe had imagined it.
Okay.
It's fucking, it's nothing.
It's like, though, to be fair, this is the image.
Okay. It's a boy and he's wearing glasses with fake eyes, but I think it's Rodney Danger it's nothing. It's like, although to be fair, this is the image. Okay.
It's a boy and he's wearing glasses with fake eyes,
but I think it's Rodney Dangerfield's eyes.
Looks like Michael Caine.
The Davis family don't get time to enjoy their new house
before a grave warning from a local historian urges them
to beware of the ghostly Mr. Boogity.
He looks like the emperor from Star Wars.
And then they destroy him by sucking his cape up with a vacuum cleaner.
Probably ruin that vacuum cleaner.
Oh, my God.
Remember when they redid My Favourite Martian with Christopher Lloyd and Jeff Daniels?
Yes, vaguely.
Yeah.
Are we done?
I think we're done.
Look, I've got one more genuine recommendation.
Love it.
Another National Geographic.
Me too.
I'm going to find one.
National Geographic documentary.
It's Free Solar.
Have you ever seen Free Solar?
Yeah, man.
I love Free Solar.
It's about a guy named Alex
Honnold and his dream
is to scale El Capitan in
again in a national park. Does he do it?
I'm not going to spoil it.
Niso wants to do it without a rope. Yeah, that's right.
That's hence the name Free Solo. It's crazy, man.
It's really good and you should watch it
if you haven't. Why would anyone do it?
Watch it, but do it. Do it. I agree.
I guess for the documentary. Oh,
I think he just wanted to do it.
It's absolutely harrowing.
Come on.
Where's a terrible one.
Give me something.
Pick one up.
Scroll for a second and then point it.
I've hit the star Wars.
Oh,
well,
I think some of those were right.
Okay.
I'll pick this other Kurt Russell one.
Cause there's a million Kurt Russell ones for some reason.
Cause I've,
we've talked about this before,
but the last thing that,
um,
Walt Disney wrote down was Kurt Russell.
Kurt Russell, yeah.
Because he did all those movies.
In 1975, it's called The Strongest Man in the World,
a college science whiz creates a new supercharged
vitamin compound that accidentally ends up
in his cereal box.
The powerful formula comes to the attention
of two rival cereal companies,
touching off a hilarious chain of events.
The program it's presented is originally created
because it's really fucking racist.
There you go.
How could this be racist?
It's just about a strong guy.
I think I've seen that one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There you go.
That's everything.
There's more.
That's everything on Disney Plus.
Yeah.
Until Condor Man arrives.
Oh my God.
I cannot wait.
All right.
Do you know what it's time for then?
Is it time for what we're reading?
It is.
What are we going to read?
It is.
Oh.
I'm doing a thing.
I'm doing a thing.
we reading it is what we're gonna read it is oh i'm doing the thing what are we reading today what are you reading today mason a whole bunch of stuff first of all
doom yeah so what do you think i like i like it with some reservations. Too fast for you? Too furious for me. Ooh.
Well, it's very good.
Yep.
I feel it's significantly tougher than Doom 2016.
I've heard that, yeah.
I feel like it's for people who like-
Just finished Doom?
Who did the speed run of Doom and kind of knocked it off
because it doesn't open with a tutorial like most games now.
It just sort of assumes you know.
It just opens in a room and it doesn't say, like,
do this to walk and this to fire.
I had to be like, well, what do I do again?
Yeah, right.
It feels tough.
They've introduced some new elements to it,
which I don't think are entirely successful.
I think they were like, let's make him be a parkour guy as well.
Yeah, I heard that there's a lot of traversal.
He can kind of jump and double jump and dash
and kind of monkey bar around.
And it feels a little bit imprecise.
Like it's not Titanfall level of,
you know, like you can just go.
Yeah.
Although it potentially,
this is also the kind of game where
five minutes before the end,
I'll really come into my own with it.
Like I do that with games a lot where I'm like,'m really getting the hang of this and then i beat one boss
and it's like you've finished the game like there's a in the if you've seen the trailers for
doom eternal yeah uh there's you see you see the doom slayer he activates yeah he's got like this
rune it's called the unmaker And it's like this This rune
Is it in any other games?
I don't think it is
Is it?
No it's sort of
It's a
Okay some
Some minor spoilers
For Doom 2016
I never finished it
Okay
That's fine I don't care
Yeah so
So the premise
So in Doom 2016
You uncover this thing
Called the Crucible
Yeah
And it's like this device
You need to stop it
All the bad stuff happening
And at the end
The scientist you've been helping Is like Thanks for all your help But I'm gonna trap you need to stop all the bad stuff happening and at the end the scientist you've been helping is like,
thanks for all your help but I'm going to trap you in hell
because what I'm doing is more important than you stopping this invasion from hell.
What is he doing?
Earth has an energy crisis and he's tapping energy from hell to power.
Okay, right.
I don't know, prices and stuff.
Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.
But anyway, at the end it turns out that the crucible thing
is also like this laser sword. you don't get to use it but in the end but in this new version you can acquire it
because it's but it's behind it's essentially in like a safe and you need six keys to get into the
safe okay but in order to get the keys you have to finish these sort of intense battle encounters
that you have to find and you also have to find a separate key to get into the battle encounters.
That sounds awful.
It sounds like,
so the thing I found one,
I've gotten one,
but I get the sense that I won't be able to defeat the,
you know,
finish these battle encounters until I finished the game.
At which point I've got this gigantic mega sword that I can't use on anyone.
Yeah.
Okay.
Right.
Yeah.
And a vibe.
It's this
this game is super intense on the law of the doom universe yeah so if you are keen on that sort of
weird sci-fi fantasy warhammer 40 000 kind of situation which i am well i definitely am uh
you you will like this okay it's uh i see i was kind of on the fence about it was like do i wait
for switch but i think i'm gonna get this on a console it looks great yes okay because they you will like this. Okay. See, I was kind of on the fence about it. I was like, do I wait for Switch?
But I think I'm going to get this on a console.
It looks great.
Yeah.
Because they sort of downgraded for Switch, right?
Yeah.
But I like the idea of having it on a game.
This game looks just phenomenal.
Yeah.
I mean, all those bloody PC heads out there, Mason,
they're bloody telling you what for.
They beg to differ.
I'm just playing on a PS4.
But you've got your base of operations is this.
This is set a couple of years after previous Doom.
So you've got this base of operations called the Fortress of Doom,
which is like this floating battle station in orbit around Earth.
And you just look out on Earth and it just, it's bloody.
It's had a bit of trouble, let me tell you.
Oh, no.
There's a hole in the moon.
Who did that?
Maybe me.
Tough to say. who is to say what i one thing i didn't really like about the first doom was a lot of it you'd go into a new area they'd lock it down you'd fight a hundred demons and then the
door opens then you go to the next room and they lock it down you fight a hundred demons and then
you and then you just do that there is some of that like do not like that yeah and it's kind of like it feels like every yeah a lot of a lot of bits are kind of a battle arena yeah right this game feels
less like the the previous one felt like quintessential doom even though they made a lot
of changes to it this one feels and i think it's maybe just because there is the more law and it's
kind of it's expanded the scope it isn't just mars and hell it's like ma it's kind of, it's expanded the scope. It isn't just Mars and hell. It's like, it's kind of like hell on earth.
And then there's all these weird additional realms.
Like it's not just demons.
It's all sorts of other stuff.
Well, I still think I'm going to get it.
I might wait a little bit though.
Heaps of sick yarns though.
Yeah, that's what I was going to say.
The arsenal is really good though, right?
And isn't it also you get like a one chainsaw kind of...
Yeah, well, this game also...
Because that would run out, I felt, really quickly in the last game.
Yeah, I feel like this game is also like the world's most elaborate game
of rock, paper, scissors.
Yeah.
Because it's kind of like if you want to acquire health,
you kill someone hand to hand.
If you want to acquire ammo, you chainsaw somebody.
If you want to acquire armor, you have to shoot them with a flamethrower.
It's kind of, you know.
Yeah, okay.
And again, it's like the previous game in that it kind of railroads you
into playing how it wants you to play.
Like it's all about kind of running and gunning and relentless
and it never stops.
You can't just be like, well, I'll sit on this ridge
and I'll shoot people with a sniper rifle because they will find you
and they will tear you to pieces.
Yeah, gotcha, yeah.
Okay. Yeah, all right. all right so recommend yeah i'd recommend
and he talks does he talk or you see his face you do see his face how's he looking good pretty good
nice crew cut excellent maybe he dyes his hair now i don't know he must he's been a long time
but then he was in a tablet or something wasn't he he was in a sarcophagus for that's cool some
amount of time yes uh Do I have any more?
Oh, most of this game is deadly serious.
But speaking of this Fortress of Doom,
he's got like his own little bachelor pad situation in there
and it's all just like in jokes and like.
Through previous games or?
Yeah, and just previous games and like he's got a bookshelf
and it's all like how to handle your anger management issues.
And like it's all a bookshelf and it's all like how to handle your anger management issues. Okay. And it's all parody book titles.
It's all like 1984, demons to murder or whatever.
Oh, very good.
It's kind of fun.
Very good.
Also, you can see Commander Keen's skull on a shelf.
How's he doing?
He's dead.
He's definitely dead.
Maybe the rest of him is okay.
They just took the skull off.
Just took the skull off, yeah.
Yeah.
That's possible, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, great stuff. The hunt has come to hunters come to streaming oh yes tell me about it i had to do some
vpn stuff to actually purchase it which was really cool uh but yeah i don't understand why i didn't
come to australia straight away a lot of these don't seem to have been yet anyway uh because
there's a lot of controversy behind before i came out and if you remember it was like what's going
on with this and whatever it's just like uh it's okay and like the purge yeah you remember, but it was like, what's going on with this and whatever. It's just like, it's okay.
It's like The Purge?
Yeah, but it's like rich liberal elites hunting rednecks.
So that's the way.
It's your two sides of the bloody political coin going up against each other.
But Betty Gilpin is the lead in it,
and that is why the movie works
because she's terrific
and really convincing in this movie.
I think it's okay.
I think it's not as bad as some people think it is
or not as good as some people think it is.
Yeah, yeah.
But she's great.
Okay, right.
So I would say it's probably worth a watch
if you do like The Purge
and kind of mid-tier kind of Blumhouse kind of movies.
Yeah, right, okay.
So, yeah.
Well, I could take them a little bit most of the time. Well, there you go. You're going to thinkhouse kind of movies. Yeah, right, okay. So, yeah. Well, I could take them all over most of the time.
Oh, there you go.
You're going to think this is okay then.
Yeah, cool.
Cool.
Cool.
So once I run out of every other form of entertainment,
I'll get right on this.
There is also a great reference to the Bruce Willis movie
Tears of the Sun.
Wow, good.
I know.
Finally.
I thought that was really funny.
I've been hoping for a good reference To the Bruce Willis movie
Tears of the Sun
All we get is bad references to it
That's right
To the extent that nobody even mentions it
Yeah
Oh here's one that I was going to mention
A while back
So Ben from Canada
Who edits many of the
Oh my god
I meant to mention this up top
Who mentions many of the
I'll mention it up top next week
Edits some Mr. Sunday Movies videos
And some of the
Weekly Planet Caravan of Garbage videos.
All of them.
All of them.
He is very kind to oftentimes, Will, as a joke,
put in a very difficult request into a video,
and he will accommodate that because he's amazing at the video editing.
I think we talked about the Mummy Returns,
and I pointed out how there's an action sequence in it
that is the same as Terminator 2
and he edited it together to make it look like it actually was
similar to a scene from Terminator 2.
So that was incredible.
Anyway, in addition to doing that, he is also a musician
under the name Business District
and he has an EP out on all the various places called City Lights.
But surely it costs too much money, Mason.
No, it's on Spotify.
Yeah, it's on Spotify and various other places that people do
and check it out.
I'll link it below.
I'll say that up top next week because I was meant to mention it.
It's really good.
Yeah, I know.
It's incredible.
It's like ambient.
Yeah.
Like ambient kind of soundscape situations.
And I believe it's based on each track is based on a place he's lived in his life.
So it's like Toronto and other places.
Other places.
Other places.
London at the moment.
London, there you go.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it's like, for me, it's good music for driving around late at night in your car,
just cruising about.
It's good cruising about music.
Causing trouble.
Yeah, causing trouble.
Well, I'm not causing trouble in the car, but I'm on my way to cause trouble.
Yeah.
So, you know, it's really, you know, I'm like, it's cool.
It's really, yeah, he's really talented.
He's a great actor, editor, music person.
That son of a bitch.
He does it all.
How many things have we got?
This.
This isn't anything.
Half a thing.
We've got half a thing.
Together we've got a whole thing.
This dumb thing.
No, I meant collectively we've got half a thing.
This is half a thing.
Yeah, I will recommend that up top next week.
Remind me, Mason.
But yeah, please check it out.
It is linked below.
The next segment?
Oh, maybe in a moment, sure.
We could definitely do that.
I can wait.
No, we'll continue forwards.
With no pause whatsoever.
Have you been watching Picard?
No, I haven't been watching Picard.
Look, I liked it, but I guess I didn't like it enough
to keep watching week to week.
That's probably the right decision.
I'm going to catch up at some point, probably, maybe,
after I watch the thing you said.
The Hunt?
The Hunt.
Yeah.
And watch the latest remake of Emma, The Assassin.
Brilliant.
Anyway, it's letters time, I think.
The classic one was letters, oh letters, we love you.
Some letters, they're only a day away.
I know they're here right now.
We're going to do letters.
It's letters time.
You guys send us letters.
Hashtag Weekly Planet Pod.
Weekly Planet Pod.
At gmail.com or hashtag Weekly Planet Pod on Twitter.
Or just tweet directly to us.
Yeah, tweet directly.
We can do that. What do you want to do?
You got a letter?
Not yet.
Go for it.
I'll find a letter.
Don't even worry about it.
This is from NinjaDudeThe3rd.
From a whole family of NinjaDudes.
Yes, that's right.
Is there any video games made in Australia?
If there is, are any good?
I've got a list here of some good ones.
Untitled Goose Game.
That's the most recent one.
More like Untitled Good Game.
That's right.
Bioshock 1 and 2.
All the cricket games.
Every cricket game ever made.
That's right. Dead Space made. It's true.
Dead Space, mobile.
And The Adventures of Dan Down Under.
Sounds like a weird porn game.
But no, there is.
There's actually legitimately good stuff that is made here.
It's a smaller industry, obviously,
and there are subsidiaries of bigger companies.
Yeah.
And it's sort of an industry that has had ups and downs
and, you know, it was around for a while and then, you know,
crashed and burned a bit and then came back, I think.
We had a company called Beam Software,
which did some good stuff back in the day.
I'm going to look them up real quick.
Look them up real quick.
Okay, I will.
Bum, bum, bum, bum.
Bum, bum, bum, bum.
Okay.
They're now called Chrome Studios Melbourne.
They produced The Hobbits, maybe an old one,
The Way of the Exploding Fist, The Shadowrun Games.
Maybe not the most recent one, but maybe the most recent one.
Maybe the most recent one.
The most recent one.
Not a lot recently.
But they're out there.
They're out there doing stuff.
They produced the Super Nintendo version of True Lies.
It was a great game.
Isn't it?
If I recall.
I don't remember.
I don't remember either.
I bet it's like every other side scholar that came out there.
Except it's top down.
Joke's on you, James.
Or is it isometrical?
Yeah, it's kind of like that, yeah.
Like Predator 2, the game.
Yes.
Terrific.
But they did the Super Nintendo Shadowrun game, which was real good.
Yeah, okay.
Oh, they did Smash TV on NES.
We talk about that game.
They did the game Nightshade, which was this NES superhero game.
It was real cool.
I bet it wasn't.
It was cool.
If you play it now, it was terrible.
Yeah, I'm sure it's terrible now,
but it was cool.
It was racist as well.
I think it was racist.
Yeah, but if you play it now.
I remember it being racist.
A new one.
It's like, don't play it.
This is racist,
and you'll be racist if you play it.
Wow.
Yeah, it's one of those ones.
That's amazing.
I think so.
Yes.
What else have you got in terms of letters?
This is from Sashen.
He says,
you guys are my Dwayne Johnson.
Intriguing, right?
Does that mean if you stack us together, we're about that size?
Well, not even.
We're half.
That's our half.
Man.
He says, I started listening to this podcast back in 2017 when I was sacked.
I got myself a very low-paying job back then as a leaflet distributor to make ends meet,
and I listened to all the episodes from the beginning.
Help me get back on my feet with your amazing banter and quirky humour.
Why, thank you.
Yes, why are we Dwayne Johnson's?
Today on my daily commute to London,
I found myself back on episode one again.
Listening to your podcast
is helping me deal with the anxiety
due to ongoing COVID-19
and jobs cut on the horizons.
You guys are my Dwayne Johnson,
i.e. my rock.
That's fun.
Very good.
That's fun.
That's fun.
I hope you and all the weekly whacker
to do is good health and recovery
from this pandemic.
Me too.
Yeah, it's no good.
Really good, yeah. I guess the only good thing about this pandemic. Me too. Yeah, it's no good. Really good. Yeah.
I guess the only good thing about this pandemic is we're all in it together to some extent.
Everybody is experiencing this terrible fucking thing that's happening.
Yeah.
The world over.
And quite frankly, I'm against it.
Some people, they're on the fence, but I'm willing to make that call.
You're willing to wow and say that the coronavirus is bad.
Good for you.
Thank you, Mason.
Good for you.
Good for you.
Where do you stand on it though?
I also think it's bad. Lucky. Yeah. Right. Yeah. This is from Patrick Good for you. Thank you, Mason. Good for you. Where do you stand on it, though? I also think it's bad.
Lucky, right?
Yeah.
This is from Patrick McHale.
On the plus side of quarantine,
do you think movie studios will have the perfect opportunity
to shoot non-CGI scenes of a post-apocalyptic nature,
e.g. A Quiet Place, 28 Days Later, I Am Legend, etc.?
I think normally, yes, but everything is shut down
and you're probably not allowed to do any of that shit.
Oh, that's a good point, actually.
And if people did it, they'd be like,
you did that to make a movie?
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Yeah, right, exactly.
So in theory, sure, but in reality... Probably not.
I mean, some people would probably do it anyway, though, I'd imagine.
Any other letters?
We've got tons of letters.
Look, I won't lie to you,
a lot of these letters are about people being trapped places.
This is from Abraham.
Great.
Stranded in the Czech Republic for seven weeks.
Hi, James and Mesa.
My wife, this is from Abraham.
My wife and I are teachers at an international school in southern China.
We're out of the country on holiday when the trouble with coronavirus
really started to pick up and we were advised not to return.
It was the beginning of February and we're still living and working
out of an Airbnb in Prague.
Bloody hell.
I wanted to offer my thanks to you and everyone at the Planet Broadcasting Network
and the Planet Broadcasting Great Mates Group
for building such a strong and supportive community.
I know people are always banging on about it,
but it has become even more clear in these tough times.
I also wanted to offer my encouragement to everyone out there
that the world is not ending.
That is true.
As someone who's dealing with this situation for nearly two months,
I can say the beginning is hard.
Transitioning into online work is really difficult,
but you find ways to make it work and maintain some levels of normalcy.
I agree.
I've also transitioned very slowly.
Keep up the great work, everyone out there, he says.
Thank you, Abraham.
Yeah, we will.
That sucks, but making the most of it, I guess, is what people have to do.
Bonus, the word meso means meat in Czech.
So here is an image out of my window of locals lining up for their daily dose of meso.
So that's pretty good.
Pretty small queue, am I right?
Oh, come on.
Nah, that's pretty good pretty small cue am I right oh come on nah that's oh oh oh that's good
that's good times it's a question from David Aranda on Twitter hashtag weekly planner pod
what's something you now have time to watch and read or read but probably still won't
well I'm still at work I don't know yeah well that's true and I'm also I'm still at work. I don't know about other people. Yeah, well, that's true. And I'm also – I'm an essential services worker, so I'm still at work.
But I guess because there's less traffic, I'm not late.
You've got more time to watch things.
I'm not running late all the time, so I guess when I get to the end of the line,
I can listen to five minutes of a podcast more.
I've just continued business as usual, which I guess the thing about that is as well,
we're lucky that we're able to
still work and still get paid it's so uncertain for a lot of people yeah I mean some some jobs
are covered many are not that's true yeah yeah so I mean that's for now you never know what could
happen with the stuff that we're doing yeah right but yeah I had a big old bitch on success
unsuggestible the other day we're like I can't believe I still have to go to work or whatever
but of course I'd much rather be working than have no money and have no idea
what was going to happen.
That's true.
It's actually something I'm pretty grateful for, yeah.
Just, do you know what I mean?
One of these ones on Instagram.
Oh, like a prey emoji.
A prey hand on Instagram and just being like blessed.
Some people think that's a high five, but it doesn't look like a high five to me.
I don't think it's a high five.
No, I don't think so either.
Why are they wearing the same coloured shirt?
It doesn't make any sense.
Sleeves are the same, you know?
Wild.
Dumb.
Yeah.
Here's another letter.
This is from Nick Mortimer.
He says, hi, I just wanted to show my appreciation during a very weird time.
I work full time in a cinema and I was just about to take my dream holiday to Galaxy's Edge.
Ah, shit.
So that's rough, right?
That's a double whammy.
First, the holiday was obviously cancelled and now my workplace is shut.
No real news of when it will open yeah shout outs to everybody out there work
i mean we've got a lot of listeners that work in cinemas man yeah fortunately i just moved in my
boyfriend's parents house i'm not having to pay much rent and therefore i've now signed up as a
patreon just to show a little support for a show that's kept me going through some of the darkest
times you don't have to do that you don't have to do it but we appreciate it thank you uh we you
guys have never failed to add much needed levity to these situations.
You're very welcome.
Thank you, Nick.
Thank you.
Yes.
Nick Mason.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you, Nick Mason.
Means meat in Nick Mason.
I pointed at you, yeah.
Nick Mason means meat in.
That's true.
And I'm eating a big pile of meat.
Yep, that's right.
See, that's a fact that I didn't know and I'm enjoying it greatly.
That's cool.
You should go there when you eventually can. Maybe, that's right. See, that's a fact that I didn't know and I'm enjoying it greatly. That's cool. You should go there when you eventually can.
Maybe I will.
Yeah.
But how many people are going to unfollow me in my real life?
It's just a lot of photos of me below like meat shops.
Dave Warnock is doing with meat pies.
He's getting international acclaim.
I think you'll be okay.
That's true, he is.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This is from the Roller Steerses podcast i probably said that wrong uh you got a podcast though and that's cool
what do you think will be the next major event that will delay the release of the new mutants
my god that's solar flare oh maybe yeah just a solar flare that erases it's just a song just
the new mutants from every every hard drive in the world what it, they're about to push it out into televisions and phones.
And while the signal's in the air, that's when it strikes.
And it just zaps it in all directions.
And they're like, it's weird and it's not on anybody's phones,
but it's also not on our server anymore.
Oh, no.
But it's just bye-bye.
You're deleting it.
The problem with that is, and I like it a lot, but that erases it.
So we want a delay.
We want it to never come out, but it still exists somewhere. Oh, and I like it a lot, but that erases it. So we want a delay. Oh, okay.
We want it to never come out, but it still exists somewhere.
Oh, you know what it is?
You don't want it to be world-ending, do you?
Then there's one copy left.
It gets shot out to one person's phone,
and they're so amazed that it actually came out,
they have a heart attack and they die.
So it becomes a race around the world to find that one phone.
And they got buried with it because they loved the phone.
And they've got a gold head or whatever that joke we did.
That's right, exactly.
It's a real gold head situation.
It's a real gold head New Mutants situation.
What do you think could be a legitimate one, though?
A reason for it to be delayed?
Because they're not going to reshoot it anymore.
There's no buyout happening.
Maybe like a legit copyright ownership issue.
Like maybe somebody's like well i own the copyright to
i actually created this character and i i don't think you but if they created under marvel they'd
have to be someone that it's clear that the character that they used that's stolen from an
outside maybe yeah yeah yeah maybe i reckon it might be something like that i reckon it might
be a legal claim somebody's like yeah i own own this character and you can't release this without my permission.
And they're like, okay, well, I've got to put this-
Own the word new.
You can't have that.
That's right.
Exactly, yeah.
So we've got to put this on ice until that's sorted out.
But gosh, I hope it's delayed again.
Me too.
I don't know.
I don't know.
It's always-
We'll watch it one day.
We'll watch it one day.
Exactly, yeah.
It'll be like Bart in that Itchy and Scratchy movie
where he eventually sees it when he's 90.
That's right.
What's next?
Or is that it?
I think that might be it, yeah.
Great.
Thank you, everybody, for emailing in also.
Hey, man.
A lot of people trapped in various locations, so...
Keep up the work.
Keep up the good work and the social distancing.
Yes.
Which is a confusing thing.
Just stay in your house if you can.
Like any social media.
Nice.
That's good stuff.
In this case, social media.
Yeah, stay on social media.
People are using it to be social.
Or like stay on social media, but stay in your house if you can.
Claire and I talked about it a bit on my less successful podcast,
Suggestible.
We get it.
It's less successful.
Get over it.
Oh, my God.
But she, like I don't do this enough but she
calls a lot of people just oh yeah right because you can still talk to people that's right yeah
yeah yeah and if you're not just just move all the just move all the clothes that are on your couch
that's right all your stuff and all the bit and all the mess and then put on facetime or whatever
and be like look at yeah i'm doing great doing great doing great i don't know you're not wearing
pants yeah i don't know you're not wearing pants.
They don't know that you didn't wipe your bum properly.
Wait, what?
Because of toilet paper, Mason.
Oh.
Because you don't have any.
But you can still, look.
There are other options is all I'm saying.
You've only got.
Wow.
It's only salt, salt.
It's only sandpapers left.
Wow.
That's all you got.
Oh, no.
You won't do it.
And you bought that specifically. And it's rough on both Wow. That's all you got. Oh, no. You won't do it. And you bought that specifically.
And it's rough on both sides.
That is true.
There's no soft side on a sandpaper.
I'll tell you what.
There you go.
Anyway, thank you.
You got some toilet paper though, didn't you?
Yes.
Yeah, cool.
That's true.
We call it in Australia, we call it bog roll.
Not everybody does.
Not a lot of people use that.
No.
But you say it, you know what I mean.
Yeah, that's true, yeah. All right. Next week lot of people use that. No. But you say it, you know what I mean. Yeah, it's true, yeah.
All right.
Next week, I don't know.
We'll just see what happens.
Maybe we'll do Onward.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Maybe that's out.
It is out.
It's out right now.
All right.
Do I have to pay for it?
Yes.
Fine.
God.
God.
All right.
You can do it for a VPN if you wanted to.
No, I'll just...
Yeah, you can just regularly.
I mean, that VPN is very handy.
Oh, my God, I love them.
I'll do it regular style while I can.
Anyway, thank you everybody for listening.
Yes.
Thank you everybody for subscribing and telling a friend,
especially now people are going to want some more time on their hands.
Let people know if your friend's like,
oh, my God, I'm so bored, there's nothing out there to watch or listen to.
You can be like...
I can't even wipe my bum properly.
What can I do? No, not that out there to watch or listen to. You could be like, I can't even wipe my bum properly. What can I do?
No, not that bit.
Don't stop.
Don't bring that up.
It derails the conversation.
It's gross.
But if they're like, I wish there was something to listen to,
you could be like, weekly plan a podcast.
And then you could leave a nice review.
James, do you have a nice review?
You know I don't.
Thank you.
Oh, no.
Normally I'd bring this up, but I didn't have it ready today.
That's the bloody, this is this bloody virus for had i didn't have it ready today that's the
bloody this is this bloody virus for you that's right coming at you yeah uh okay so this is from
uh katie kins and it's it's two heart emojis for the title and it says we love this podcast
my boyfriend introduced it to me and now we can't wait to listen to the weekly content so fun so
yeah she was gonna say so far. Yeah, that's right.
Don't mess up, boys.
That's quite apt as well.
And the other one says, it's by Uncle Crispy, and it says, yum, five stars.
Soup tastes good.
But not all soup.
He's not wrong.
Very true.
Isn't it?
What's your favorite soup?
Claire's doing her chicken and corn at the moment.
Oh, that sounds good, yeah.
Which is quite good.
But I'll do a pumpkin.
I'll do a shank veggie.
I'll do a lentil. What will you do? I'll do a potato and leek. good, yeah. Which is quite good. But I'll do a pumpkin. I'll do a shank veggie. I'll do like a lentil.
What will you do?
I'll do like a potato and leek.
Oh, yeah.
That's a good one.
Maybe a pumpkin soup.
Like a pumpkin soup.
Maybe a pumpkin pie.
Not really, no.
It's not a soup though, is it?
That's the problem.
No, it's more, it's less a liquid, isn't it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's more solid.
Do you think Dave Warnicke would eat a pumpkin pie?
Yeah.
Or is he doing a meat pie?
Oh, you know what I'm going to have this week?
This is an off-air conversation, but I don't care.
We're in the middle of plugs or whatever we do.
But they're 4 and 20, the famous meat pie company in Australia
is releasing a meat-free pie.
It's out.
Oh, with the invisible meat or whatever it's called.
Yeah, invisible meat.
Invisible, it's a meat-free pie.
I'm going to get it.
Give that a go.
You know what?
I bet it tastes the same because most of the stuff-
There's all flavorings in horse hooves.
Most of the stuff in a meat pie, there's very little meat in a 420 meat pie, if I'm honest
with you.
Yeah, exactly.
So it's mostly just soy.
It's horse.
Soy sauce or something.
Okay, there you go.
I'm going to get that.
Yeah, get it.
Going to get that anyway.
Get on with it also.
We're doing reviews, but also, thank you very much.

Everybody's a real cool dude.

And then do that and et cetera, people out there.
Just like this person, I just got this comment.
It's from Skittles, but with chocolate inside.
It's on the Death of Screenscreen video and it just says one word, idiot.
Nice.
Nice.
And his avatar is Eminem.
The rapper Eminem.
Yes.
Nice.
Because Skittles with chocolate and whatever.
I get it.
Who's really the idiot though?
I mean me but also this guy.
Oh, definitely that guy.
You're two peas in a pod.

Maybe buy that version of Doom that I saw this week,
which is like $300, but you get a Doom helmet.
Cool.
I'd rather just buy the helmet separately.
I'd rather not buy the helmet, if I'm honest with you.
Yeah, I don't want that.
What am I going to do, wear it around my house?
Maybe.
Oh, my God.
But I feel like I would rather the Doom armor and no helmet
than no Doom armor and a helmet.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, but the armor's hard to get into. I that's probably true unless it's that weird midriff

Also, I've made the weirdest fucking thing I've ever made on YouTube.
It's up now.
I heard about that.
Yeah.
So why did I make it?
I had planned to.
I actually mentioned it in the Q&A that we did for some people who might know what it is.
Yeah, nice.
It's not good, but I made it.
Good for you.
Though Claire said it's a favorite thing that I've ever made of hers.
Now, when she said that, did she look concerned?
Yes, she did.
You look very concerned.
Yeah, yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
I'm excited.
Me too.
