Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of The Weekly Planet
where we talk movies and comics and TV shows.
My name is James, also known as Mr. Sunday.
With me as always is my co-host Nick Mason.
James, you put the sun in your voice today and I really appreciate it.
It's just good to be inside.
Yep, love being inside, yeah, absolutely.
I actually do, I do like being inside.
Well, I'm going for a walk later, so that counts, right?
You've got to do that one thing where you're like, I went out, what? I went do. I do like being inside. Well, I'm going for a walk later, so that counts, right? You've got to do that one thing where you're like, I went out.
What?
I went out.
I saw the sun.
Like, I made the most of it, all right?
Fuck.
That's right.
Just back up.
I moved my curtain slightly to one side and I peered out like that creepy guy.
Like that creepy guy that I am.
That's me.
You know the creepy guy on the block?
And for a long time we didn't have a creepy guy on the block? What's happened to that creepy guy? You're the creepy guy on the block? And for a long time we didn't have a creepy guy on the block.
What's happened to that creepy guy?
You're the creepy guy.
That's that age-old proverb of like if it's not somebody else
or whatever, it's you or whatever.
Yeah, look to your left, look to your right.
If the creepy guy on your block isn't in one of those houses,
it's you, James.
Mr. Sunday Movies.
Do you want to know what we're talking about this week, Max?
Yeah.
There's so many news.
We've got delays, Marvel delays.
What delays?
The best kind of news. We've got a WandaVision trailer. Oh, my God. That's many news. We've got delays, Marvel delays. What delays? The best kind of news.
We've got a WandaVision trailer.
Oh, my God.
That's big news.
A couple of new series coming up.
Supergirl is coming to an end.
Big Snyder Cut updates.
I thought for a second there I honestly thought you were going to say,
Big is back from Sex and the City.
Oh, my God.
He's got his own spinoff.
Well, he was supposed to die in Sex and the City 3.
He was going to have a heart attack or whatever.
It was going to be, yeah, that would have been good.
I hate that guy.
Steady died in a gunfight.
Peacemaker, we get the spinoff.
Black Adam casting.
Milan Finance News.
I've written Xbox because we've got to talk about Xbox, aren't we?
We should get a lot of talking about the Xbox.
And the boy spinoff.
And then we're going to continue our conversation from last week
about movies that aren't franchises that may be franchises.
You're not experiencing deja vu, folks.
No.
There was so much bountiful content in the last episode.
We couldn't fit it all in.
And we're mostly doing it so we...
We're squeezing it down.
Like when you push that upload button and it just started oozing out of your computer.
It was bubbling out, yeah.
You had to keep smushing it back in and you're like, well, we'll just...
We'll scrape some of that off.
We'll scrape some of it out and we'll do it in the next episode, yeah.
Exactly.
And it's also to correct our other guys, nice guys mistake that we made,
which everybody reminded us about.
That's mostly what this episode is about, honestly.
And to be honest, when we mentioned that,
I was thinking about the nice guys the whole time to the degree
that when you mentioned, when you started talking about the other guys,
I didn't ever notice.
I'm like, when the meme started and the tweet started, I'm like,
I could have sworn we were talking about the nice guys.
But I think it was you talking about the other guys and me just going,
yep, cool. I wrote down one of them, but I meant the other one.
I don't even remember.
I didn't listen back to it.
It's not important.
But we're here to correct mistakes.
We're here to apologize.
That's right. We're going to give out prizes're here to correct mistakes. We're here to apologize.
We're going to give out prizes to everybody who corrected us.
We're going to go back to that episode.
We're going to pull it out of the upload machine.
Yep.
Goop notwithstanding.
We're going to scoop that goop.
Yep.
We're going to re-edit the whole thing, put it back in.
Exactly.
As if it never happened.
That's right.
And all your tweets will be worthless.
People have sent in.
Anyways.
I think everyone's tweets are very valuable.
I disagree.
Have you seen Twitter?
Oh, my God.
You're right.
It's a hellscape out there.
It's a hellscape.
So Black Widow who's been delayed Mason.
So it was supposed to come out in November.
Now it's coming out in May.
Eternals has been moved from next February to next November.
That's a full year for both of them.
Next November?
I know.
That's a long way away.
I agree.
And then in between that, interestingly though,
Shang-Chi has been moved from May 2021 to July of 2021.
So that was a movie that was going to come out after these two movies
and now it's in between.
Huh.
So you might be like, what does that mean for the MCU?
Is that what you're thinking?
I was thinking exactly that.
It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter, Mason. They're establishing separate properties and
then they tack on the post-credit scene at the end, which leads into the next movie.
That's all you need to worry about.
There's just some frantic post-credit sequence directors out there just running about, you
know, in movie studios in backlots being like, oh my God, we've got to rewrite this post-credit
sequence.
That's right. Do you remember the Ant-Man post-credits sequence. That's right.
Do you remember the Ant-Man post-credits sequence?
Was it that one?
Where they had Bucky in a vice and it's like, I know a guy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it didn't really relate to the next thing.
No, it didn't really, yeah.
Is that the, I can't even remember what the end of the movie that one was.
But do you know what I'm talking about?
I know exactly what you're talking about, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But the guy was Ant-Man.
Yeah, but why would it be him?
I always assumed he was going to get in the vice somehow.
That's what I thought.
He was going to fix the article or something.
No, no, no.
They just needed him for.
Yeah.
Who were they talking about?
I don't know.
Ant-Man.
Because it was a lead into Ant-Man.
Jerry, the vice guy.
He was killed in that airport battle.
His magnets have been on my fridge.
24-hour vice servicing.
Here we go.
All right.
Perfect.
$300?
My God.
I mean, weekend rates, though.
Yeah, that's probably true.
And you've got to get him to Germany or whatever.
Yeah, that's probably true.
Yeah.
If anything, it's a bargain.
So are you surprised?
Are you upset?
Are you like, this is a necessity? I'm surprised. I'm upset. This's a bargain. So are you surprised? Are you upset? Are you like this is a necessity?
I'm surprised.
I'm upset.
This is a necessity.
But I'm not happy about it.
You encapsulated all my feelings about this.
I didn't really think it was coming.
Like it was becoming more and more evident from the results of like Tenet
and also that Milan didn't do as well as they would have hoped
so it's not going to streaming.
So this just seemed like it was going to happen.
And people aren't, even though theatres are open in the US,
even though like a limited capacity, people aren't going.
Yeah.
Because of the virus.
Oh.
Yeah.
It's not because of content.
People love great content still.
As soon as I think this is all over, just people are saying like,
oh, there's not going to be a Marvel movie released this year.
Isn't that going to hurt the Marvel brand or whatever?
I think as the instant we get the all clear, the green light, people are just going to
flock.
I agree.
It'll be lines around the block at cinemas.
You won't be able to get in.
Exactly.
Do you reckon?
Yeah.
Yeah, around the block.
We should riot.
Yeah, that's what I'm about.
Yeah.
Yeah, you might be right.
And look, I know there hasn't been one for a year and whatever,
but nothing happened this year really.
Like we didn't get any, we haven't gotten anything good.
So why would we get this?
We got Bad Boys 4.
I started to watch, it was 3, but I started to watch.
Whatever it was, yeah.
Did you watch it?
I did watch it.
After your stirring endorsement last week.
It's fine.
I mean, it's no worse than the other two.
Yeah, wow, there you go.
That's something though, isn't it? I remember there being one good joke in it
but I couldn't tell you what it is
Was it when they were racing to the hospital but it was for a baby?
No, that was absolutely not what it was
And they killed a bunch of pedestrians and knocking over apple carts or whatever?
No, that wasn't it, no
But there was a lot of that in the
like, we've got to stop these guys from doing evil
and then they would just swerve through traffic
and the bad guy would shoot a rocket launcher
at a car and it wouldn't hit them, but it would hit the car behind them.
Yeah, right.
And they're like, whoa!
Yeah.
Like that?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, cool.
That's a good joke.
Is that the joke?
That was the good joke I was thinking of, yes.
Great.
No, I don't know what it was.
This also comes from comicbookmovie.com, our former stomping ground mason.
That's right.
Me and you.
We used to run that show, didn't we?
Stomping about.
People would be at their windows like peeking out of the curtains.
We'd be stomping.
That's right.
We'd be stomping.
Bom, bom, bom, we'd say to each other.
We'd say, who would dare come out while we're stomping?
So Falcon and the Winter Soldier has been moved to 2021.
That's not a surprise because I don't think it's finished.
I think they're still filming it right now.
I saw some just
Jared photos. Probably just Jared.
Yeah, almost certainly just Jared.
What's the deal with that guy? Well, he's not just Jared to me.
He's Jared
and he does set photos. He does set photos, yeah.
Is that one of those things where they're like,
they buy up a whole lot of set photos and then if you use them
in like your website, they charge you
a lot of money or something?
I don't know.
I don't know how any of this works.
Because I know there are sites that do that.
They like purchase photos.
And then I know Comic Book Movie did have some problems with that
where people posted something and they're like,
well, now you owe us like $10,000 for licensing or whatever like that.
I don't know the specifics of it.
Hassle somebody else at that site for the details.
But, yeah.
How about when like Marvel release a movie trailer
and then like Joe Blow Movies releases exactly the same trailer?
How do they get away with that?
I think that's just a marketing thing.
I think they probably – because I get sent trailers.
So you could just put them up.
If you're struggling for a video.
I could, but then they copyright them anyway.
It doesn't matter.
But I'm sure there's some other.
You could add fart noises.
I could add fart noises, but they've got connections.
And if you build up enough followers, they'll just send it to you or whatever.
You've got connections.
Yeah.
From your esophagus to like your bowels.
That's so true.
And you can use that. Nothing in between.
Just straight out.
But because I get a lot of the Australian premiere stuff, they're like, did you see this trailer?
No Time to Die has a new trailer.
I'm like, yeah, I saw it three days ago when they put it out,
but thanks, appreciate it.
This one just has fart noises at it.
I don't understand.
So there you go.
Black Widow has been, I'm sorry.
Here's the trailer for the fabulous Mr. Dundee or whatever it is.
Yeah, that's on Stan now?
It's on Stan now.
It looks bad, Mason.
I know the guy who wrote it.
And?
I've watched it.
I'm not going to watch it.
I don't know.
That's where you're at.
I don't know.
I agree with you.
I saw a review of it that was just, would have crushed him.
Yeah.
He produced it or something.
I don't know.
It was one of those things.
Well, you know, even if you write something,
it doesn't mean you get like your final vision to this.
But I think it might be telling that, you know,
in times past uh paul
hogan would would like essentially like he would take the writing credit on all his projects yeah
that's right it's funny he hasn't so oh so he knows what he's doing yeah that's what you're
saying that's great anyway i'm never going to watch that maybe i'll watch it maybe you watch
it for your best friend you know we should watch i don't want to watch it no not that
but that also we should watch that yeah but also uh i think maybe for for movie cultures we should watch. I don't want to watch it. No, not that. But that also. We should watch that.
Yeah.
But also I think maybe for movie commentaries we should watch Cats
because it's available on streaming now.
I thought about that.
Yes.
But the only problem with this is that we need the music from it.
So we normally watch with subtitles.
Oh, and there's songs, of course.
So we need to headphones it.
Yeah, we would need to headphones it.
Which is not impossible.
I mean, we could headphones it. Yeah. But it need to headphones it. Which is not impossible. I mean, we could headphones it.
But it just might make it more difficult to chat over songs.
That's true.
But I guess also so much, I think it's a lot of talk singing,
if I had to guess.
So it's like, so I'd imagine that the subtitles would tell us
what is happening in the plot.
They'd be like, we're a bunch of cats and one of us wants to die
or something, you know how it goes.
Well, I've never seen it.
I've also never seen it.
And I don't know anything about cats.
So, yeah, I'll do it.
I'll do that.
Let's do it, dude.
We just recorded our next commentary, which is not this week
but next week for BigSandwich.co.
There is something this week, isn't there, Mason,
about bonus podcast we got.
We got this covered, covered, covered, covered.
Yeah.
That we did Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from 1990.
So that'll be out next week.
That's true.
It was a good fun time.
Anyways, Mason, WandaVision has a trailer.
And what a trailer.
I loved it, Mason.
So full of Easter eggs.
I didn't break it down because part of me was like I'm tired
and part of me was like I kind of just want to go into this like.
No, you want to drill down into it so there are zero surprises.
Yeah, sure.
For the entire series.
Yeah, but I feel like this is as the potential to be very surprising
and revelations in the future and maybe mutants
and maybe parallel dimensions and maybe it's all in the mind.
Doctor Strange ties into Doctor Strange too, yeah.
But for me it's I kind of like, yeah, I'm just going to sit back.
We get some more hints as to what is happening
and why it seems that it seems to be switching eras.
Yeah.
Like that seems to be partly due to the Scarlet Witch
and partly maybe it's out of her control it seems.
Yeah, that's right.
Do you think they're real people or do you think it's like a fake people situation?
I think it's fake people.
But I think Scarlet Witch is real.
Yeah, she's real people.
And I think Jessica Hahn's character is also real.
Yeah, I agree.
Yeah.
Well, I was also going to say that what's something and the visions in it,
you actually see the vision in it
like in proper vision form
and he's alive
and he's got the soul stone
yeah
which means like did they
or the mind stone
whatever he's got
I don't fucking know
we don't need to know that anymore
I needed to know that last year
now I don't need to know it
so I've just pushed it out of my head
so did they get it from another dimension
is it not real
is it just like
oh good point
maybe it's
maybe
maybe
maybe it's like placebo. Is it not real? Is it just like. Oh, good point. Maybe it's like placebo.
Yeah.
Maybe it's diamante.
The band, placebo.
Yeah, maybe it's the band placebo.
Every me, every you, et cetera.
Yeah, exactly.
That's great.
Good stuff.
Great.
Go to it.
I don't know because it seems like the pulling that out of his head
in Infinity War killed him, obviously.
Yes.
But also, you know, it drained all the colour out of him.
Yeah.
So, and the TV series starts in black and white, presumably.
Yeah, that's right, yeah.
I wonder if she's projecting into him a personality.
This is a memory restoration thing, maybe?
I mean, it could be at the end it's revealed that he was there,
like physically the whole time.
Yeah.
But his brain was not there and he's like the soulless robot.
Right, yeah, yeah.
Of like 90s Marvel comics where he doesn't have a personality anymore.
What do you reckon about that?
That's fine with me.
Okay, good.
I'd be great with that.
Yeah.
They should have kept that soul stone that they've returned
or whatever stone he has.
Remember Captain America was returning them?
Yep.
I thought about this recently that when,
yeah,
he never even really got a,
well,
they had to return him for time splitting.
Yeah.
But there wasn't even a deleted,
there wasn't even a,
like a side scene where they just look at his corpse and go,
nah,
well,
that was also years later.
So presumably they'd like crush it into a cube or something.
It's true.
Yeah.
So,
you know,
I don't,
I don't know.
Can you crush it?
Cause he's like a vibranium man.
Oh, good question.
They've probably got a special press.
They call that Vice Guy.
Well, Jerry the Vice Guy, yeah.
That's right.
It's around a box.
He'll come to Wakanda.
That's right.
Good on him.
Yeah, but I think of all the TV shows,
this is the one I'm probably most looking forward to.
Yeah.
Because, like, I am looking forward to Falcon and Winter Soldier
and that, but it's like I get more shield throwing
and who's Captain America.
But this is like Legion-esque and it seems like a different
kind of perspective.
And I like how they did, like, the I Dream of Genie
Bewitched era and they've got, like, the shonky kind
of special effects, like magically pouring a bottle of wine
that looks like a sort of string or whatever.
But is it just a bottle of wine, James?
Probably.
It could be a hologram or whatever.
Well, no, people have suggested that it's the label,
it's Maison de something something and it roughly translates
to House of M, which is, of course, the storyline in which the Scarlet Witch
alters reality to make the mutants like the premier species on Earth
and humans are subservient to them.
And also changes our accent from vaguely Eastern European to American.
Yeah, that's right.
Okay, that's interesting.
So some people are saying that that is a clue to this series
will introduce mutants.
I wonder whether that's a nod or like it could be.
That's how they get us, isn't it?
That's how they get us every time.
That's exactly how I get it.
Well, let me get to work on my trailer breakdown.
Just kidding.
There's a million.
There's plenty available.
Late November maybe, I think, this will be out.
So that's coming up, isn't it?
I'm really excited.
And I think it's like definitively finished.
So they don't need to add any extra stuff.
Did you like the Vision Shonky costume? Like his Halloween costume?
Yeah, that's a nice throwback to his weird 1970s big collar costume
or whatever.
Good stuff all around.
Anything else in there?
What do you reckon?
Yeah, I do reckon.
There's a bit where he like, so even though he's living in like the 50s
or 60s, he's still like he knows he's the Vision because he's putting
on the disguise.
Like you see him like go out the door and he's like, oh he forgot yeah so he doesn't not know who he is he's just
living in a weird reality does that make sense but again i wonder he's not like i'm a man not
what am i a robot no that's true but again i'm wondering if the scarlet witch has put
her memories of him onto this empty shell yeah i I suspect might be the case. Is it cool, do you think?
Yeah, I think it's cool.
Cool.
How do you think?
Because Scarlet Witch seems to have, like,
reality-altering powers in this as well.
Yeah.
Like it seems she's got some sort of evolution to her powers.
Yeah.
Because the Scarlet Witch has had so many weird power changes
throughout the comic books.
Yes.
Like she started as, like, she could just hex things.
So, like, a vice would close and you had to get Jerry,
the vice guy, to open it up or whatever.
That makes sense.
Or like a car engine to spot her out or whatever.
And then she can control it and then she learns actual magic
and then she's got reality warping powers, et cetera.
And so forth.
I'm wondering if – it's Catherine Hahn, isn't it?
Yeah, Catherine Hahn, yeah.
I think Catherine Hahn might be the witch who teaches her.
Because she's a witch in the – you see her in –
Yeah, she's got a witch costume on.
She's wearing like a Halloween witch costume,
so I think she might be an actual witch.
Yeah, right.
They introduce real witches.
Yeah, real witches.
I mean, they've introduced Doctor Strange.
He's a real witch.
He's a real witch.
He's a real witch.
He's a real bitch.
Bitch, that guy.
But that might be – so in the comic books –
so basically for a really long time,
Scarlet Witch's ability was she could alter probability to make things that were unlikely to happen happen.
But then people were like, well, how can she fly then?
Because it's unlikely?
It's so unlikely.
Like even if you made, how can you make the probability
of somebody able to fly 100%?
You can't.
It doesn't work.
So eventually they're like, oh, let's say she met a witch
and she learned how to do actual magic.
So she met Agatha Harkness who's like –
Oh, so you think that might be her.
Which isn't the name I think this character has, but it's close enough.
Who knows?
So she is a woman who survived the Salem witch trials
because she was an actual witch.
And she teaches the Scarlet Witch how to do actual magic.
Okay, got you, got you.
So she's got some combination of actual magic
and like mutant reality warping powers. Yeah, because she's daughter of Magn's got some combination of actual magic and like mutant
reality warping powers yeah because she's daughter of magneto yeah yeah okay then in the movies and
stuff she's mostly just like crushing things with red mist but in this she can like she seems to be
able to like change the decor of her house yeah by waving her hands about which stuff yeah which
stuff i like that uh at this if you look at when she dies and when Vision dies and when she comes back and like crushes Thanos.
Yes.
There's like minutes in between that.
Do you know what I mean?
Like she died and then she's like, I'm back.
I'm going to crush this guy.
Oh, yeah, right.
That's true.
Yeah.
Anyway, looking forward to this very much.
Looking forward to it too.
I wonder whether it drops all at once or all split up.
What do you think?
I reckon all split up.
I reckon all split up too, Mason.
And I think it's going to end sad.
Yeah, probably.
Or they'll have a kid. And that'll end
sad. I think they'll
end with a kid and they'll be like, we're happy now.
This child has fulfilled,
has made us happy, has fixed our
relationship. I wonder how many
movies they have left on their contracts.
It's a great question. I think this is different.
Yeah, I know, but that also depends.
That depends largely on how this series ends, I think,
depends on how many movies they have left in their contract.
Oh, okay, yep, yep.
Like if they don't have any movies left, I'm sure they do,
but let's say hypothetically they didn't have any movies left
on their contracts, I think they would end it on,
we're happy and we've got a kid in this reality.
Is it real?
It doesn't matter because we're happy with kids or whatever.
But that's sad also.
Right, but I think if they have like four movies left each,
then I think it'll end sad.
I think they'll have a kid and then it'll be like,
your kid's actually a demon and the Vision's a monster.
Yeah, so it'll spiral into that the Vision's family's killing everybody
in the neighbourhood kind of situation.
Okay.
What do you think about this though?
I'm ready.
Speaking of televisions.
Oh, here we go.
Variety reporting that Samuel L. Jackson will return as Nick Fury
in his own television series.
My goodness.
The exact plot details of the show are being kept under wraps
with multiple sources say Jackson is attached to Star
with Kyle Bradsheet, who'd have worked on Mr Robot,
attached to write and executive produce.
Now, my understanding is that Nick Fury is on a spaceship heading somewhere.
That's right.
Maybe he's in a hologram room.
It's heading nowhere.
Yeah, yeah.
But do you think they're going to pick up in space
or it'll be like Nick Fury on Earth and he's like,
there's too much espionage and I'm here to put a stop to it.
Only the espionage I like is going to be happening on my watch.
That's right.
I think that one, yeah.
Yeah.
Nick Fury in space.
I mean, it might be, but that's the thing because it's not a, you know,
a CBS, NBC, whatever series that doesn't have to be Monster of the Week.
No.
It could just be like.
It could be eight episodes and one's 40 minutes long
and one's 110 minutes long.
Yeah, it could be from the case files of Nick Fury where it's just, you know,
here's one set in the 90s and here's one set today.
Exactly.
So.
De-age him to any degree.
Yeah, yeah.
Eyepatch or not, it's up to you.
That's right.
Yeah.
So I would like to do space stuff,
but he's not really a space stuff guy in the movies at least.
Yeah.
Because if he goes to another planet, it's just like all aliens and him.
Is that what they do?
What if it's just Samuel L. Jackson reacts to weird aliens?
Maybe he's just on the ship and he's like, I remember,
and he thinks back and he goes, yeah, that was in 2002.
That was interesting.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Just a series of memories.
Anyway, there's already been a Nick Fury TV series
with David Hasselhoff in the 90s.
It was a pilot episode that was supposed to go to series.
We should definitely watch that.
Well, I was going to watch it for the Black Widow movie,
but I think I guess we'll save it for this when it comes out in three years
or whatever's going on at the moment.
Cool.
What era should they put it in?
I think they'd do it now.
Then it's like minimal de-aging.
See, that's what I was just thinking.
He'll probably come back from space in something.
By the time they make it, he'll be back.
And there'll already be another Captain Marvel
who will show up in Doctor Strange 2 and be like,
I told you things were mysterious.
You have always been saying that.
Yeah, that's true.
You've always been consistent.
That's what we respect about you.
Yeah.
So what do you think, though?
I want to see weird 60s-esque
like austin powers stuff not necessarily set in the 60s but like that kind of like where he's
fighting hydra and they've all it's always weird plans to detonate a bomb in the middle of new
york city or whatever and he's got cool like he can turn invisible and he's got like you know all
kinds of cool wacky 60s gadgets got guns in his car and jacket and he's got like, you know, all kinds of cool wacky 60s gadgets. He's got guns in his car and jacket and stuff.
He's got an umbrella that turns into a helicopter.
Cool, that would be cool, yeah.
Even a flying car, why not?
Yeah, like James Bond, Nick Fury.
Yeah.
Yeah, why not?
Yeah, that'd be cool.
And the more gadgets you give him, the less physicality he needs to exhibit.
So I think he'd be on board with that.
Totally.
He's like, well, you could either, we could either have you vault that wall,
Samuel L. Jackson, or we could give you a gadget that lets you walk through walls and you can just walk
yeah and then we'll do the rest in post yeah that's right i'm gonna give you a son he's also
called nick fury and he's gonna do all the fight scenes oh why not even think about that you could
couldn't yeah you could be like the adventures of nick fury and little nick fury and you get the
kid who played his son in shaftft or whatever. Yes. Yeah.
And he's like –
That's A-Train, by the way.
Yeah, it's A-Train.
Yeah.
And Nick Fury's like, you're too woke, little Nick Fury.
And he's like, well, that's the way of the world, Dad.
Yeah.
And they just argue about what's woke and what's not.
Yeah.
So for people, I think maybe we've definitely talked about this
in the podcast before, but Nick Fury in the comic books initially
is a white man.
Yes.
And then in the movies, it's Samuel L. Jackson, who's not a white man. Yes. And then in the movies it's Samuel L. Jackson who's not a white man.
Because he was based on the Ultimate Comics.
Yeah.
Where he looked exactly like.
And so they had to sort of conceive of a way to make Nick Fury black
in the comic books.
And it was brilliant.
You wouldn't even notice.
Well, I just said that white Nick Fury had a kid.
Yep.
Who's mixed race.
Yep.
And then original Nick Fury was shoved off to the sidelines and now-
He went to live on the moon.
Yes, he did.
Yes, I'm trying to condense this, James.
I'm just helping.
But he went to live on the moon.
Not his choice.
He was chained to the moon.
He was chained to the moon.
He was chained to the moon because he killed the Watcher.
He pulled the Watcher's eyes out.
It's not important.
Anyway, but basically seamlessly they were like,
well, Nick Fury's kid also joined S.H.I.E.L.D.
not knowing that he was Nick Fury's son. Even though his name was nick fury no i don't know i don't think maybe it was probably
nick dangerous or something like that but then then he rose up the ranks and then he realized
he was nick fury's son and they're like why don't you call yourself nick fury and you've lost an eye
and now you're the head of shield and seamlessly yeah now nick fury in the comic books is black
also that's right so you could just say that that Samuel L. Jackson Nick Fury has a son
who's also Nick Fury and it's too woke.
He's too woke and it's his son from Shaft.
And then you could do that also.
And then you're right, he could do all the stunts.
That would be fun.
That's it.
There you go.
And Nick Fury Jr. is like, I've got to put this on TikTok.
And Nick Fury is like, I've got this page still.
Also, I've received several emails from young people regarding
because I asked.
Yeah, what's cool?
Nothing's newer than TikTok, it turns out.
TikTok's just been like TikTok is sort of, it's like Facebook.
It's kind of like consumed the world.
What about Fall Guys?
Fall Guys is newer than TikTok, isn't it?
But is it as instrumental in democracy?
No, because you can't do as many dances on Fall Guys.
You can do little emotes.
Among Us is newer than Fall Guys.
Yes, that's true.
It's not new, it's just more popular.
It's older but now it's popular and they've cancelled.
I just read that they cancelled part two because they're going
to revamp part one or whatever.
Have you played any Fall Guys?
I haven't played Fall Guys or Among Us.
Among Us is basically that social game werewolf,
except there's more.
What's werewolf?
Werewolf's that it's the game you play.
You get a group of people together and then,
like let's say there's ten people.
You go eight people are villagers and two people are werewolves,
but nobody knows who's who.
And then you say, okay, everybody close your eyes.
Now the werewolves wake up and then the werewolves pick people to kill
and then you close your eyes and then people are dead and then you gowolves pick people to kill, and then you close your eyes, and then people are dead,
and then you go, who's the werewolf?
And then you've got to pick.
You've got to argue amongst yourselves over who you think the werewolf is.
Like Secret Hitler, the guy.
Exactly, yeah.
It's probably the same thing with a different name.
And then it's basically like as the rounds go, you're like,
I suspect you because when this happened, you said this,
but then blah, blah, blah, and it ruins friendships.
But it's basically the same thing, except it's on a spaceship.
Do you actually kill people?
Do you actually like, do you have to run around and kill them?
No, you just point.
You?
Yeah, you.
Gotcha.
Okay, cool.
Werewolf.
Got it.
You just told me about this before the show, and I just watched it.
It's the Hellstrom trailer.
That's right.
And as I said to you as I was watching it, this could be anything.
It really could, couldn't it? And that's the thing. Like, people. It's Marvel, by Wilbur. That's right. And as I said to you as I was watching it, this could be anything. It really could, couldn't it?
And that's the thing.
Like people.
It's Marvel, by the way.
I should point that out.
Damon Hellstrom, he's the son of Satan.
That's who they're looking for.
Satan's back.
Is he like Satan, Satan or is he like a Satan?
Because, you know, there's multiple Satans and demons.
He's not the son of Mephisto who is like a Marvel Satan.
I think he's the son of Satan.
Satan, Satan. Act Marvel Satan. I think he's the son of Satan. Satan.
Actual Satan.
But I'm sure that's been changed back and forth as the suitability
of Satan for comic book reading children has changed over the years.
So they were like, well, kids, parents are a little bit upset
that this guy's the son of Satan.
Understandably.
So now he's the son of Jerry the Vice Guy.
Wow.
Right?
What I'm saying is that you're right
it could be
absolutely anything
because it's like
Dark Forces
yeah like
this is a supernatural
spin off
yeah right
what is this
there's a family
and they're gonna
get together
and the family
all the mothers
demon powers
and look out
and we've all got
dark secrets
and this film
all families have secrets
but some families
have darker secrets
than other families
now you thought one thing about the world, guess what?
It's a whole different ballgame.
What they should have done, speaking of Nick.
What are his powers?
What's anybody's powers?
You've got fire powers, does he?
It's like Lucifer and it's like a lot of these, you know,
you're the son of the devil kind of things,
where it's just vague, like American Gothic,
where it's just vague whatever you need it to be at the time.
Like it's kind of can he walk through walls?
Can he turn invisible?
I don't know, maybe.
Sounds good.
Can he appear whenever he needs to?
Does he have clairvoyance or whatever?
Maybe, I don't know.
Has he got a bit of John Constantine about him?
Yeah, maybe.
Yeah, he can probably do magic.
He can do magic, yeah.
Cool.
But what they should have done is put Nick Fury at the end.
Oh, yeah.
I mean I think this Hulu stuff is like very removed.
Oh, I know it is.
It's like this and The Runaways and whatever else.
Yeah, but I mean what I'm saying is that only the most hardcore
of the hardcore are probably going to notice this or watch it.
I didn't even know the trailer.
You didn't notice it.
I had no idea.
And this is my job.
But you put Nick Fury at the end of that and he's like,
well, I'm here to investigate this actually.
And then in the actual episode he goes,
actually I'm not interested anymore and he just leaves.
You guys have got this.
People will be like, oh, my God, Nick Fury and Hellstrom.
Yeah, you're right.
Can you believe it?
You put literally any character, even if you put like an Agents
of S.H.I.E.L.D. character in there, like, oh, my God, it's Quinn.
Is that an Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.?
Maybe.
Maybe.
I'm not against it.
I've just forgotten all the names.
Yeah, yeah.
Jake Chisel. It's not his real name. That was forgotten all the names. Yeah, yeah. Jake Chisel.
It's not his real name.
That was the one that came to my head.
He's dead maybe.
Yeah, I think he's probably dead, yeah.
And it's finished.
Anyway, Supergirl is stopping.
The last season will be its sixth season.
So, yeah, there's not really a reason given, but it's just stopping.
I mean, they all go about that long, don't they?
Yeah, they all go about it.
Arrow was about that, wasn't it?
Yeah, it sure was.
Yeah, so there you go.
Yeah.
I can't say I ever really watched it.
There is a spinoff happening with the Lawrence and Clark series,
but there you go.
I imagine she will make appearances on that series.
No doubt.
As Superman made lots of appearances on her show.
Yeah, and various other spinoffs and things.
Yeah, I mean, I...
I like her as Supergirl, though.
I think she's good.
Yeah, I'm not a religious watcher of that show,
but I watch the crossover stuff and I'll watch a novelty episode.
Like if there's a musical episode, I'll definitely watch that.
So more musical episodes is what I'm saying.
I'll make it happen.
Thank you.
Wait, it's finishing.
The show's finishing.
Yeah, but can season six be all musical episodes?
Yeah, all musicals.
No worries.
I'll make it cool.
Oh, and there's the first image of the new Batwoman also was out.
Oh, yeah.
It's a woman in a Batsuit.
What do you want?
I have nothing to say. I just throw it in was out. Oh, yeah. It's a woman in a Batsuit. What do you want? I don't, I have no, nothing to say.
I just went, yeah, okay.
Just neck up.
It's like the other moments of the red wig and yep, okay, I got it.
Yeah, cool.
Okay, Kane left and whatever.
Yep.
Okay, I got it, got it.
I'm all over it.
Yep.
The Hollywood Reporter is saying that in October,
Zack Snyder will shoot more Justice League and is expected to bring back
Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot for new scenes.
Also, though, Henry Cavill has come out since speaking to Collider and said,
no, he's not shooting additional photography.
So I guess he might not be doing that.
The other thing is also set to appear on the call sheet is Ray Fisher as Cyborg.
So there's still, you've probably been seeing it on all sorts of Instagrams and that there's a lot of back and forth
between the studio and him concerning the investigation.
He's ruffled some feathers.
Ruffled some feathers.
And the release of, like he's talked about how they've timed
the release of things to kind of quash some of the things that he said.
So he's still in negotiation and also he might be in the upcoming Flash movie
in a three-scene appearance, but apparently he counted with a figure doubling his salary for that,
which Warner's turned down.
And then Jason Momoa came out and backed up what he said,
so it's like, but we still don't really know
what's kind of happening or going on with that.
What is this, the DCEU or the bloody high school drama?
Am I right?
So there you go.
So that's all that's happening.
The article was mostly about Ray Fisher.
It was like Zach's not reshooting and then it was all the Ray Fisher situation.
And the other thing that was mentioned.
I thought there wasn't going to be any reshoots.
Well, that's what they said.
And so this is going to cost $70 million in total.
I remember some weeks ago we talked about this and there was one producer
or something like that who was, they put the
$30 million idea
to him, like, are you going to spend $30 million
on this? And he's like, I wish it would only
cost $30 million, but apparently that's
yeah, it's $70 million more
dollars. I guess what, I know
like this is becoming, like it was never
properly finished, I know some people get
upset when we say that, but it wasn't
finished. Like, Zack Snyder needed to do
his own reshoots and they were going to do that anyway
with voiceover and things like that. That's what
they were initially going to do. But if you stretch
this out now to four hours,
you're going to need to fill some gaps in
presumably. If it was just like a two
and a half hour movie, maybe you'd have enough
footage to bring that together.
But probably not if it's four.
So this is like the most expensive ongoing movie of all time, maybe.
That just keeps going forever and ever.
Pretty cool.
Yeah, so.
Can you wait?
I cannot wait for the end result though.
Yes.
I mean, to be honest, I'm sick of hearing about it.
Like I want it to be out so we can just kind of be like done with it.
Our expectations keep fluctuating.
Like some weeks I'm like, oh my God, I'm so excited to see this.
And some weeks I'm like, oh my God, just get it out here.
Yeah.
Or watch it and then we'll be done with it.
That's not incorrect.
But we won't be done with it.
No, because it will then be like, well, what's the next movie he's going to do?
But will we be done with it?
Because if he produces this and it's done and he goes,
if there's an interview where he's like, this is my definitive version,
nobody interfered with it, this is what I completely intended
for this to be my final product and then it's fine.
People will have to stop saying let's bring out a new, better version.
I don't think it's always going to be going on forever.
Even if he nails it, then people will want more.
If he doesn't, they'll be like it's a studio interference
and you didn't give him a fair shot and whatever.
It'll be going back and forth.
Like, for example, this is a comment
I just got on Batman v Superman
The Caravan of Garbage. This movie
is aging like fine wine. Mark my
words. In five years time, you'll actually
realize how good it was.
Alright, mark your calendars, folks. It's the
27th of September, 2020.
Five years. 27th September,
2025. Somebody let us know.
Also, we were pretty positive in that video, I would say.
You know, but whatever.
But we'll be even more positive because of the fine wine thing.
Just things can be like in between horrible and really great.
No, they can't.
They cannot.
We've built quote unquote careers on it, James.
I guess we have.
You're right.
But I don't know.
Look, I do want to see it, absolutely, but I also want it to be over.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Peacemaker, though, is getting an eight-part HBO series,
which is a spin-off of the Suicide Squad movie that James Gunn is doing.
He will write and direct multiple episodes.
The timeline in this is unclear, so he could still die
in the upcoming movie.
That's true, yeah.
And other members are hinted to appear in the series.
You know what the most interesting part about this is?
I mean, that, obviously.
That is.
Also, it was teased with a little Instagram image,
just like this little face of Peacemaker.
Yeah.
And some people were very quick to point out that that image
is a John Byrne picture of Captain America from like decades ago
that they've just put a Peacemaker helmet on.
What?
Like it's not like it looks kind of similar.
It's exactly that.
It's Captain America's chin.
John Byrne drew it for like a letters page or something like that
and they've just put Peacemaker's helmet on top of it.
It's crazy.
Right?
Why?
I don't know.
Picture of John Cena.
There's plenty of them.
Just sketch the outline of his chin.
Yeah, right.
That's fine.
I could do that.
I'll do it.
I won't do it because it's done but I could have done it.
I mean you could save the day here.
I'm going to swoop in at the last minute.
Are you excited for this though?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm John Cena and things. at the last minute. Are you excited for this though? Yeah. Yeah.
I'm John Cena and things.
Yeah.
Apparently he's very funny.
People are like, oh my God, we were surprised by his comedic chops.
You know?
Why are they surprised?
Because he's funny in everything. He's funny in most things that he's in.
He's funny in things.
If you see him in an interview, he's funny.
Yeah.
Like he's more funny than he needs to be in a press junket interview.
Yes.
Or in real life.
Right?
But it's like, I honestly don't even know
what the last thing I watched with him in it was.
The Blockers maybe?
Maybe. I think it was probably
a career timeline thing or whatever.
It's like one of those things where you've been doing this all
day. You don't have to be
funny for any...
Most people just answer the questions and move on.
He was just continuously like, I'm going to get a laugh here.
He's going for it.
He's going for it.
Good on him.
Why are you surprised that he's funny?
I'm not surprised, Mason.
You seem a little bit surprised that he's funny.
I'm shocked and dismayed.
But no, this all looks very good.
So this also goes to show that there is that line,
it's so blurred between TV and movies now, isn't it?
Yeah.
You're getting directors who are making high profile
big blockbuster action flicks.
You're getting Nick Fury in his own series and then showing up
at the end of Hellstrom trailer to be like,
what the hellstrom's going on here?
I don't even, oh, well, off I go.
Nothing seems to be happening.
That's right.
But you got us.
You guys, yeah, absolutely.
So, no, this is cool.
And it'll probably be out in two years or whatever,
if that things work.
The Hollywood Reporter, Mason, they're all like,
what do you think of Black Adam, the movie? And I was like,
is it coming out? You've been talking about it
for 10 years. Did they ask you personally? Yeah, they asked me. They rang me
at my home address on my home telephone.
Oh my god. And they said
that the Invisible Man's
Aldous Hodge, who you also might know from Straight Outta Compton,
he was in that episode of Black Mirror about
the army, but it was like,
the army's in your mind or something. That's right, you think you're
killing bugs, but you're actually killing your own family.'s right uh he's going to be playing carter hall
aka hawk man so there you go that's fun good choice yeah yeah he's great in the invisible
man remember when the invisible man beat him up yeah he did good like pretending to be beat up
acting that's hard there's no one there man that's right and now he's gonna have to pretend
to have big hawk wings it It's not a real thing you
can do. Do you reckon they'll put fake wings on him?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That'd be easier
to pretend. Yeah, yeah. So that movie's
I like that they're building
this team that's, I guess it's Justice
League adjacent, like Adam
Smasher and Hawkman.
They're more a Justice Society. Yes.
There you go. Which again, they have
kind of, they've road tested with Stargirl, who has, you know, a a Justice Society's name. Yes, there you go. That's a better. Which, again, they have kind of road tested with Stargirl,
who has a supporting cast that's mostly Justice Society members.
Yes, that's right.
Have you seen that show yet?
No, I haven't seen it.
Do people like it?
I don't know.
Probably.
I think people think it's fun.
What's it on here?
Binge.
No, fuck it.
Right?
That's the Rupert Murdoch run.
Yeah, correct.
It's a streaming service for everybody, isn't it?
Yeah.
Cool.
I like that a lot.
So now last week I've got some updates to report concerning Milan.
Now originally it was said by Yahoo Finance that it made $261 million in 12 days.
Not bad.
Turns out that that was wrong and it actually made between $62 million and $93 million.
That's considerably worse.
Yeah, I just don't understand. Like if you work at Yahoo Finance, if you're that one guy,
that's a pretty big error.
I mean a lot of finance is just guessing.
It certainly is.
It's projections and like stabs in the dark.
Pulling numbers out of your ass.
But I'm just saying if you can't trust Yahoo Finance, Mason,
where am I supposed to go to for my financial news?
Ask Jeeves Finance.
AltaVista Finance. That's right. What's another one? GeoCities Finance Ask Jeeves Finance. AltaVista Finance.
That's right.
What's another one?
GeoCities Finance.
Fog Dog Finance.
I was hoping to time that so you'd blurt out all your kombucha.
You really did, Mason.
You really got me.
So that's bad, obviously, if that's true,
because that's a very expensive movie and the theatrical run wasn't great.
It also doesn't surprise me that that's not a model that they want
to roll out for other big movies probably.
That being said, if it was Black Widow, it probably would have done better.
Yeah, a property that isn't just a remake of a beloved thing,
you can also get for free on that service anyway.
Yeah, that was a mistake where they went,
you can pay for it now, $40, or you can wait.
Oh, I just meant also you can watch the original Milan for free.
Oh, yeah, it's better.
Like, hot tip, if they're going to release Black Widow on streaming,
maybe if there's a Black Widow cartoon from the 90s already on there,
maybe delete it for a few weeks.
That's right, yeah, and just delete all the old MCU movies.
Yes.
Or at least Her Saints.
Perfect, right?
So it's just Happy Hogan in a corridor in Iron Man 2
just watching people fall down.
It's like, what is happening?
You remember movies, don't you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, good stuff.
And you could get like a reaction shot of him on The Chef show,
like a guy doing some fancy sushi work and be like,
what is happening?
And just put that in.
It's fine.
It's seamless.
So Xbox had its launch this week in terms of like what's coming up.
What's it called though?
Without looking, James, what's it called?
I don't know.
S?
Series S?
Is it though?
I don't know.
Or Series X?
Is it?
Or the Xbox One Series X?
Is it?
I don't know.
Wasn't the last one the Xbox One?
And what's the new PlayStation called?
Five.
Correct.
And it's the digital and disc, right?
Yeah, there's two versions, yeah.
So what's going on? Well, apparently, right? Yeah, there's two versions. Yeah. So, yeah, what's going
on? Well, apparently, and
this brings me a lot of joy. Also, they bought Bethesda,
which is huge. Oh, we should talk about that.
Well done. Yeah. Like,
$7.5 billion. Well, they bought
ZeniMax, which owns Bethesda. So they own
everything. So they
own Obsidian. And Doom. And like
the Elder Scrolls. Fallout.
Yeah. Which means that like all those exclusives won't come to our platforms.
Anyway, so a win and a loss.
But apparently the short version is that a lot of people,
apparently on Amazon the sales ranking of the previous version
of the Xbox went up.
Yeah.
Because a lot of people in their confusion bought the previous
model Xbox instead of pre-ordering the new model Xbox.
So I think a lot of people are like, wow,
the new Xbox got to my house
really quickly in a day even though it wasn't supposed to be.
Oh, I bought the old one.
That's great.
Would it be fair PlayStation also had a terrible launch
where they didn't have enough pre-orders and they kept going up
at different times and all those different kinds of things.
So both of them haven't done particularly well.
I'm still going to wait.
But the fact that they bought Bethesda, that's changed a lot because there was a lot of like Xbox doesn't have
any games.
Well, that's true.
I do prefer PlayStation.
That's what I'm currently on.
But if the Xbox is better, like I'll switch.
I don't care.
Like I'm not loyal to one brand.
And I also think that it's like competition is good.
Like we don't want one to crush the other because then one dictates
the market.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
If they're both, you know, if they're both kind of trying to up each other prices,
you know, potentially go down, you get more creative games.
Apparently a lot of Bethesda stuff, while it's well regarded,
doesn't do particularly well.
Okay.
Like Dishonored 2 didn't do well.
But that's not where they get all their money from because they've got huge IPs.
Yeah, yeah, no, for sure.
But like Evil Within 2, Fallout 76 isn is the one that people don't like.
That's trash though, isn't it?
But apparently now, so apparently a lot of people now are like,
well, they can finally do a really great Fallout.
Like a Fallout New Vegas.
New Vegas 2, right?
Exactly, because they have Bethesda that own the property
and then they have.
I think all those guys moved to another company
and made the Outer Wilds or the Outer Worlds or something.
It's the Outer Worlds. So who made the Outer Wilds or the Outer Worlds or something? It's the Outer Worlds.
So who made the Outer Wilds?
Somebody else.
Yeah.
Right.
But, yeah, so because ZeniMax and the Outer Worlds guys,
or Microsoft do now, they can make a new fallout with those guys,
assuming that they're on board or they want to do that or, you know.
The other thing is, like, companies have bought up other companies before.
Yeah.
Like Microsoft purchased Rare or whatever happened to them.
Do you remember that in like the early 2000s?
Yeah.
It made like Donkey Kong and Perfect Dark and Goldeneye and all that.
But they didn't really do anything with a lot of those titles.
Right.
Like they didn't enhance them.
Like why aren't there Banjo-Kazooie games like every three years
and it's as big as Mario?
You know what I mean?
Right.
It's shit like that that doesn't, like why isn't Perfect Dark like a massive franchise?
Yeah, yeah.
But people are also wondering, and I probably wouldn't worry that much,
but the idea of if Microsoft has acquired all these IPs,
are they going to make them all Xbox exclusive?
But they probably won't.
They'd go to PC as well.
Yeah, that's true.
They're honoring some commitments to games.
I think you want to talk about Deathloop.
I was talking about Deathloop, yeah.
That might be one of them.
But then I'd imagine that Doom won't go to PlayStation 5 or whatever.
Yeah, right.
That being said, depending on sales numbers,
sometimes the exclusives eventually do jump over.
That's true.
So they might be like, well, we're not going to make any more money
with Doom 3 or whatever version of Doom they're releasing next.
So we'll put it on PlayStation now.
I think a lot of people are saying that Microsoft,
a strategy they might pursue is they could put all the Bethesda stuff
on their Game Pass where you pay X amount of money per month
and then you get the games for free.
But then if you want to buy them on PS5, you have to pay like $70.
Oh, okay. So people would be like if you want to buy them on PS5, you have to pay like $70. Oh, okay.
So people would be like, well, I could buy a PS5 and get these games eventually
or I could just sign up to Game Pass for however much it is a month.
And play them all.
Play them all for freebies.
That's a good idea.
Yeah.
People like that Game Pass, don't they?
They do.
They like that Game Pass.
Anyway, Deathloop.
Yeah.
What do you think?
I think it looks cool.
Yeah.
So what's the deal with that game?
So the premise is that you're an assassin.
You're an assassin.
You're on an island that's stuck in a time loop.
Cool.
And there's like eight horrible crime lord type people
and you have to kill them all,
but you have to kill them all before the end of the night
because if you don't, the time loop resets
and you have to start again.
Yes.
So you have to, but they're all in positions where it's impossible to kill them all at the same of the night because if you don't, the time loop resets and you have to start again. Yes. So you have to, but they're all
in positions where it's impossible to kill them all
at the same time. Right. So you have to maneuver
them all with various machinations
so they end up, they all end up, you know,
in your crosshairs pretty much
at the same time. Yes. So you can hunt them down and kill them.
But also there's somebody trying to kill you. And they're
also in the loop, maybe? Yes.
Yeah, there's you and another assassin
who are both,
you both know the time loop is happening and you have to,
and they're trying to kill you while you're trying to kill everybody else.
So you can either have an AI-controlled assassin trying to kill you or you can get another player coming in out of nowhere
who's going to knock you off.
So is it like the one map?
Yeah.
Cool.
That sounds really interesting.
It does seem interesting, doesn't it?
Is there a single player element then, obviously?
There is, yeah.
Yeah, good.
I would have zero interest at all.
I think if it was just multiplayer and there was a human-controlled
assassin trying to kill me at all times,
I would never get out of the front gate, honestly.
No, he'd be younger and faster.
Yeah, exactly.
And he'd probably be an internet celebrity more so than you.
You know what I mean?
I cannot even conceive of that.
That's how they pair people off.
I know.
Would I be fighting Markiplier?
Would I be fighting Scott the Woz?
I love Scott the Woz.
I don't know what he does.
He's great.
He does like retro stuff and he's good.
Would I be fighting Top Hat Gaming Man?
I don't know who that is.
Okay, right.
I'm making a video about like what it's like to be a YouTuber, right?
Oh, really?
I'm slowly putting it together.
I'm just like all these weird things.
They're like, that's a weird thing, whatever.
It's very self-indulgent, so I don't know whether I actually put it out.
But one of the things is often, not often, but every now and then
it'll be like, I can't believe you took this video like verbatim
from Jork Blork Floody Floop or whatever.
And I'm like, I don't know who the fuck that is.
Well, he's from Jupiter.
He's a YouTuber from Jupiter.
That's his whole, that's his tagline.
I'm the YouTuber from Jupiter.
There's like 31 million YouTubers, right?
Yeah.
And the thing is like, and I don't want to be like,
I don't know who that is because that's rude to be like,
I don't fucking know.
Yeah.
But sometimes it's like, well, Aladdin's in the news,
so everybody's going to do a video on Aladdin.
Yeah, that's right.
And oftentimes people do the same research and find out, you know,
how they treated Robin Williams or whatever,
and then everybody puts it in their video.
Exactly.
But some people have the extra little bit of extra juice
that they're from Jupiter.
That's right.
And you don't.
You're just from a regular Earth.
Falk Burton, whatever I said his name.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's one weird thing that happens every now and then.
Because, yeah, I kind of don't know how to approach that,
to be like, I don't care about this guy that you mentioned.
Because it's not, I just, you know what?
You have to say, I would respect his work had I known who he was.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah.
All right.
But I don't respect those filthy dupies he was. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. All right. But I don't respect those filthy dupies.
Wow.
Yeah, that's right.
I thought you were going to say a different thing then.
People from Jupiter.
So The Boys is getting a spin-off.
Craig Rosenberg is an executive producer and writer on the main series,
is writing the pilot and a reverent R-rated series that explores the lives
of hormonal competitive supes as they put their physical,
sexual and moral boundaries to the test.
My goodness.
Blending the pitfalls of a college series with the gritty competitive nature of the
Hunger Games and heart satire and raunch of the main series.
So it's like superhero high.
Yes.
Huh.
Interesting.
But they're all awful maybe.
Of course they're all awful, yeah.
You on board?
I guess so.
Why not?
It's all going to be on Amazon for free.
Should we talk about the boys in what we are going to read?
We should talk about that.
We should talk about the revelation we had this week also.
Oh, yeah.
Hughie, one of the main characters, is Jack Quaid,
is Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan's son.
And we were both like, oh, no, why?
And there's no reason to.
It makes sense.
It's from a perspective of like, I thought he was just like an every guy
who worked his way up in acting and he seemed so affable
because I like him in things.
I like him in this.
I like him in other things.
And I'm like, oh, he's the son of two celebrities.
Ah, fuck.
God damn it.
Ah.
Which, I mean, makes it because most, when you look at most actors
and celebrities and all that sort of stuff in Hollywood,
eventually you find, like, their parents were Hollywood producers
and that's how they got this.
Or, you know, their parents were models or whatever.
But we're like, oh, can't we just have one?
Yeah, because he kind of looks like an everyman, you know what I mean?
He's not like, you know, he doesn't really look like Dennis Quaid, does he?
He looks taller than Dennis Quaid.
I don't know what's going on.
Anyway, there you go.
We've hopefully ruined that for everybody else.
Let us know if we ruined that for you, yes or no.
Tweet at us at Wikipedia Brand at MrSundayMovies, just yes or no.
Did we ruin Jack Quaid for you?
We hope yes.
We hope yes, but we don't want to sway it either way.
As Mason ruined it for me.
Yeah, no problem.
Happy to.
Mason ruined it for me.
Yeah, no problem.
Happy to.
As women, our life stages come with unique risk factors.
Like when our estrogen levels drop during menopause,
causing the risk of heart disease to go up.
Know your risks.

Obligatory ad.
Good ad.
We're going to continue our discussion from last week on properties that only got one,
but maybe two.
You know what I mean?
Maybe a second one.
Maybe do two.
But maybe magic of one means shouldn't do two.
Well, that's the other thing, isn't it?
Do you want to quickly recap the nice guys, the other guys thing?
I think there should be sequels to both in summary.
Really?
Yep, why not?
What would the other – I mean, they're just cops, aren't they,
the other guys?
Just doing cop stuff.
Let's just stop.
Okay, then.
All right.
Before we get more.
All right.
We tell ourselves that it's not a good idea.
All right, all right.
But, yeah.
But, no, I think more so the nice guys, you know, different.
That's the Russell Crowe one.
Yeah, yeah.
Different era maybe.
I guess they could, yeah.
Jump ahead, jump back.
It doesn't matter, does it?
Different year.
Just make it like instead of 1973, it's 1974.
Nice.
Different eras.
What about this?
This is not for me. All right. People are constantly calling for it. There's always. Nice. Different eras. What about this? This is not for me.
People are constantly calling for it.
There's always a petition.
Alita Battle Angel.
Oh.
Well, we did get that huge revelation at the end
that the evil bad guy was Edward Norton, the actor Edward Norton.
The only reason that would be a compelling revelation
is if you know the voice and it's the actor Edward Norton.
That's right.
Doesn't he take his goggles off? Yeah. Maybe he doesn't. He's like, look at me googly it's the actor Edward Norton. That's right. Doesn't he take his goggles off?
Yeah.
Maybe he doesn't.
He's like, look at me googly eyes.
I'm Edward Norton.
I was in Fight Club.
He was.
I didn't.
I was in the Hulk, but I demanded too many script rewrites.
Yeah, that's fair enough.
I can understand that.
Look at this Edward Norton apologist over here.
He's all right.
Speaking of, isn't he the son of like an oil baron or something?
Or maybe.
Let's look into it.
I'm pretty sure he is.
He's from like an oil tycoon family or some shit like that.
Oh, yeah, that sounds about right.
Yeah, okay.
You know, whatever.
You can't help me.
If you're born into an oil tycoon family, that's fine, isn't it?
Yeah.
But he, yeah, I don't, I liked Alita more than I thought I would,
but I'm not really. It would be a painful, I don't – I liked Alita more than I thought I would, but I'm not really –
It would be a painful – I don't know.
I just – I mean the designs were good.
Yeah, there was a lot of stuff that I liked.
Yeah.
Maybe they can flesh out Jai Courtney's rollerball character more than none.
Remember he was in it?
He was like one of the team members or something.
He was too, wasn't he?
Yeah.
Remember Ed Scroon got his face cut off and he was like, my beautiful face members or something. He was too, wasn't he? Yeah. Remember Ed Scrooge got his face cut off?
Yes.
And he was like, my beautiful face.
My face has fallen off.
Yeah.
Well, maybe you shouldn't have made your whole body a robot body.
You know what I mean?
Right.
Yeah.
So that's all I'm saying.
But what about you?
Do you want some more Alita Battle Angel?
Yeah, kind of.
I'd probably see another one.
Okay.
How did it do financially?
Okay.
Okay, great.
Great.
And there was also the kind of thing like instead of seeing Captain Marvel,
see a real movie.
Go and see Alita Battle Angelica.
Yeah.
Which nobody really.
Well, they should stack it up.
They should stack the sequel up against another fake movie,
whatever the next fake movie coming out is.
Yeah, absolutely.
What's the next fake movie that isn't a real movie, you know?
What's coming out?
Yeah.
That's also true.
I just couldn't even tell you for a second.
Yeah. This is something that you're
more on board for than I think
than me. That being said,
it's got a lot of potential. Edward Norton's
grandfather was James Wilson Rouse.
He was a pioneering
American real estate developer, urban planner,
civic activist, and later free enterprise
based philanthropist. Okay. Received
the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
For all the freedom that he did?
All the freedom that he did, yes.
So he wasn't an oil baron then?
Maybe he was.
Let's find out.
I mean, just because the Wikipedia summary doesn't say that at the start,
somewhere buried in the middle it might be like,
he's a real evil oil baron also.
No, he got freedom.
Shopping malls, it says.
Yeah, sure.
Planned communities.
Yep, yep, yep.
Nothing cool or interesting though, so he can be consigned
to the history's basket of people going to hell.
So Man From U.N.C.L.E.
Oh, yeah.
I would 100% say otherwise.
I would too, even though I didn't love Man From U.N.C.L.E.,
but it feels like this should be better, right?
You know what I mean?
Maybe, yeah.
I should like this more than I do.
Why didn't you like it?
It just wasn't very interesting.
A bit meandering.
A bit meandering.
I loved the aesthetic and the cast, but, like,
the twists and turns weren't that interesting.
Remember when they had, like, a flashback to what really happened
or whatever and they, like, did that kind of.
Oh, yeah, right, right, right.
But they did it, like, from something that happened, like, five Eleven thing. Oh, yeah, right, right. But they did it from something that happened like five minutes prior.
Oh, that's right, yeah.
Yeah, so.
But, you know, and Hugh Grant is maybe running the team or something.
Yeah.
Yeah, but just put more Guy Ritchie stuff into it.
If you made it like, what was his last one that he did?
Aladdin?
The Gentleman.
The Gentleman, the one after Aladdin.
If you did The Gentleman, like put a bit of that into.
A bit of sauce.
A bit of sauce, yeah, into Man From U.N.C.L.E.,
don't you think that would be more interesting?
I think the fun of Man From U.N.C.L.E. is it is kind of quaint.
Like there is a revelation.
You thought we didn't know you were on the submarine,
but we knew you were on the submarine.
But that's what, like the Gentleman was a bunch of that shit as well,
wasn't it?
Yeah, but it was more like people getting kicked in the face as well.
Yeah, that's fine.
You know what the problem is?
The problem probably is finding actors that can act across
Armie Hammer and Henry Cavill just because they're both enormous men.
It's like call out for six foot one women
who can conceivably act across these people.
We've run out of boxes for people to stand on.
Right?
Yeah, I can understand that.
So do you think that's what's going on?
I think that's absolutely what's going on. Also, it probably didn't do well. No, I think Right? Yeah, I can understand that. So do you think that's what's going on? I think that's absolutely what's going on.
But I would definitely...
Also, it probably didn't do well.
No, I think it did okay.
I can check that.
But, you know, there's like the moment where he's eating a sandwich
while the other guys are drowning or whatever.
There's fun stuff in it.
They're the original odd couple.
Yeah, that's right.
Apart from the TV series and movie, The Odd Couple.
This came out in 2015.
That feels like a million years ago, doesn't it?
So it made $109 million worldwide,
but I don't think it probably cost quite a bit as well.
Yeah, it cost $75 million.
So, yeah, it didn't do very well overall.
And once you factor in apple crates for people to stand on,
no money at all.
And you have to throw them out after every use,
they're single use.
That's right.
So, you know, what do you do?
I don't know why I've written this, but I wrote Green Lantern.
Okay.
There will be another one eventually.
There will be, but like there's enough in that movie.
Yes, go on.
That you could take characters and actors and then make a better sequel.
Oh, you definitely could, yeah.
I think that was what I was saying with that.
Right.
Yeah.
Don't, though.
No, absolutely not.
You could.
Just do a different version. I mean, you could I was saying with that. Right. Yeah. Don't though. No, absolutely not. You could. Just do a different version.
I mean, you could argue that of literally anything.
You could be like, well, if they took this bad movie
and you took some of the elements, like one of the actors
and you completely retooled the entire thing,
you could make a better movie.
Yeah, I know.
You're talking about Deadpool specifically.
Yeah, sure.
Absolutely, yeah.
No, I see what you're saying.
Yeah, but I think, you know, it's got an interesting post-credits,
like Sinestro casting is good.
But I think, yeah, no, I think if we're going to make sequels,
I think if we abandon everything, like we have to maintain the core conceit
of the movie.
Like it has to be in the style of the original movie.
Oh, does it?
Yes.
Oh, then no.
Yeah, then absolutely no.
And I don't want that.
Why don't you put Green Lantern question mark?
I didn't even put question mark.
I was question marking it though.
Yeah, and also I think they might be doing some Green Lantern stuff
in that Justice League, new Justice League version maybe.
Yeah.
Because there is Green Lanterns in the flashback.
Uh-huh.
You know, one's got a big hammer or whatever and it dies
and the ring flies off.
I think there'll be more Big Hammer stuff.
More Big Hammer stuff. Do you think they could secretly cast a new hammer or whatever and it dies and the ring flies off. I think there'll be more big hammer stuff. More big hammer stuff.
Do you think they could secretly cast a new Green Lantern?
Definitely.
Put them in there?
Yeah.
Wouldn't they?
Well, that's the thing, though.
Like, in order for us to care about that character,
wouldn't they have to intersperse them in scenes with all the other cast?
Not necessarily.
You have a ring arrives to them or they open an alien ship
and the ring jumps on them.
Yes.
That's all you do.
I guess.
You do it like that.
And, you know, like what happened in, you know,
Orion Reynolds opens a thing.
You know what I guess what you could do is you could put them,
you could have them be a survivor of the Man of Steel attack on Metropolis.
There you go.
Like you could just put them in that and they'd be like,
well, I don't have any powers but I'm saving these people
because that's what I do or whatever and then later they get the ring.
Okay, that could work.
Has this ever been done that there's been like a Green Lantern character?
Also, I'd like it to be Guy Gardner, John Cena.
Me too.
We can't do that anymore.
We can't do that as a piece of paper.
Has this ever been done?
It probably has in the comics.
So like somebody, like an amputee, like missing legs or an arm or whatever
and they get a Green Lantern ring and the green ring fills in the arm.
Oh, I don't know, but I mean they did that with Venom.
Yeah, that's what I'm – yeah, that's what I'm –
Yeah, so maybe.
I just thought, you know, like –
Scoot McNary.
Scoot McNary exploded.
I mean, he exploded, yeah.
I mean, maybe the ring could put him back together.
Yeah, definitely.
It's just barely – he just finds Scoot McNary's finger
and pieces the rest back together.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
I don't know whether you've ever seen this.
I'm a big fan.
We watched it also the other day with my son who loved it.
Nathan Zedd also has an excellent video on it.
Oh, does Scott the Woz have a good video?
He probably would, Mason.
No, he's more video game based.
But Sky High.
You ever seen Sky High?
It's got Kurt Russell in it?
It does.
And Kelly Preston who recently passed away.
But Sky High is a really terrific superhero movie
that was supposed to get like a Disney Channel spin-off.
Like a TV series.
TV series, which never happened.
But it's also got the tall guy from Succession,
the cousin Greg and whatever.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead's in it.
There's a bunch of Killer Frost is in it.
Yeah, Daniel Panabaker.
Yeah. So it's really cool. It's like a really
fun superhero
origin. What do you
do in a sequel?
Are they just in the high school again still?
Yep.
I mean, not them.
I'm sure I've watched it or some of it, but
doesn't that make it more samey?
Isn't it samey if they're just in high school again?
I know it's a different generation or whatever.
I don't know.
Okay.
But that takes the –
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know what it is?
It's like a – it's Galaxy Quest-esque.
Okay.
Like it's very funny but like can this be done again kind of thing.
Okay, right, mining in a world kind of situation.
Yeah, too much – like Bruce Campbell's in it.
Dave Foley's in it.
There's like too much time probably has passed.
See, that's the thing.
Even you recast it with, you go, okay, it's Sky High,
the next generation, and it's people with less charisma.
Yeah.
Or like, and it, or not even less charisma.
I'm sure you can find charismatic actors,
but the idea of like, well, there's the magic gel together as well.
The least interesting person in that is probably the lead as well.
Okay, right.
Everything else.
Not that he's bad.
Oh, because he's a generic kid.
He's like a generic like strong guy or whatever, you know what I mean?
Yeah.
But it's a bloody banger, mate.
You should watch it.
You want to watch it?
Yeah.
Good.
What about this, Mason?
Go on.
World War Z or Z.
David Fincher was going to do a sequel with Brad Pitt.
It got pretty far along.
Yeah.
But then they said no and they didn't make it.
Negotiations broke down over what soda pop they were going to drink
in the finale.
And would Brad Pitt even do that now?
That's right.
Because Ab's Pitt, you know?
Yep.
So that's what he's all about.
That's right.
I'm one of those people who doesn't hate World War Z.
It's a miracle that it's like anything.
I remember it being fine, sure.
But the book is interesting and there's a lot of world building
that could be done.
Oh, because it's a lot of – World War Z, the book is based
around the premise of there was a zombie apocalypse
and we've rebuilt after that.
And this is like what happened.
It's like an account.
Okay.
I can't remember whether I've read it or I think I've read it.
But I definitely have a copy of it.
I maybe read it like six years ago or started to.
Maybe you bought it and your wife reads it to you while you're asleep.
Might be, yeah.
But it's not like Brad Pitt's trying to save his family
and whatever else happens and whatever.
But I think it's an okay zombie movie and I think.
Well, that's why we definitely did a sequel for an okay zombie movie.
And it surprisingly did well and David Fincher
and Brad Pitt doing that would have been cool.
I think it's probably not going to happen now but whatever, man.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
But also didn't they kind of unravel how you can make yourself invisible
to zombies at the end of the first?
Yes, they did.
You have to make yourself a zombie briefly, don't you?
Yes.
No, you've got to just give yourself like the flu or whatever.
And then if you're sick, it won't attack you
because you're like you're not a viable host.
Oh, interesting.
Okay.
But like don't be picky because you're all screaming monsters.
Right?
You're all literally disintegrating.
Come on.
Come on.
But are they though?
Because I don't even know if they're living.
I don't know either.
Yeah. Well, we should definitely do a sequel to this movie. We both barely remember. Come on. Come on. But are they though? Because I don't even know if they're living. I don't know either. Yeah.
Well, we should definitely do a sequel to this movie we both barely remember.
Agreed.
Here's something that does have a sequel which people have reminded us of.
Oh, yes.
But I would like to see a sequel sequel.
Jumper, which is a movie that I think is underrated.
And what's the sequel it got?
It's called Impulse.
It's a YouTube short series.
By the original creators in some way?
I don't know, Mason, but I just know that whenever we bring it up,
people say, have you seen Impulse?
And the answer is no.
Right.
Yeah.
So, yeah, it was a YouTube premium show that came out in 2018.
Ah.
And by all accounts, it's looking for results here.
It is.
Go on.
Go on, James. It's 10 episodes. By all accounts, it's 10 episodes for results here. It is. Go on. Go on, James.
It's 10 episodes.
By all accounts, it's 10 episodes, right?
It might be 20, actually.
Oh, by some accounts, it might be 20 episodes.
And the first season was met with a positive response from critics,
and it holds 100% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Oh, my God.
So there you go.
That's pretty impressive.
Maybe we'll check out.
But you're not a Jumper fan, though, are you?
I mean, I watched it the once, so I couldn't tell you.
I watched it this year, I think, and I'm like, this is all right.
All right, maybe I'll give it a rewatch.
It's got some cool action sequences.
There's some things you can do with that.
Do you introduce?
I do.
People with different powers other than the ability to jump?
Maybe that's what the show Impulse is about.
Or maybe it isn't.
It's one of those situations.
Can you give me a definitive answer on that?
On the show Impulse?
Yes.
No.
I just closed the tab.
Can anyone?
Yes or no?
Don't give me the answer.
Tell me if you can.
We already did a yes or no.
I know.
But I can't remember what the first one is anyway.
I don't want to open up this to more like discourse
concerning the jumper and Impulse universe.
I don't know why I brought this up.
Okay, sorry.
Well, okay, just answer the first question then, folks out there,
our valued listeners.
If you could.
Yes.
How are you on, I feel like I'm burning through these,
but that's all right, isn't it?
Yeah.
Just bloody get into them.
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the movie.
Yes.
It's okay, isn't it?
Yeah, I'd like to see more of that.
Martin Freeman.
What do they do?
They go to a cafe on Jupiter or whatever it is?
They go to a restaurant at the end of the universe.
Yeah, that's right.
Have you read that book?
I've only read the first one.
Yeah.
I have them all in the boot of my car for some reason
if you'd like to borrow them.
I do not want that.
Okay.
I also have a copy of it.
So would it be worth making a sequel or doing this as like a series?
Well, I mean it was a series.
Yes.
So a modern day big budget series.
I think they also did one in the 80s as well.
I don't know if, yeah, I was going to say initially,
I don't know if people have the patience to sit through this again,
but remember people left?
It's 15 years old though.
That's true.
I think now after the shows that have come since.
Game of Thrones.
Game of Thrones.
I mean, like, you know, you get some left of centre sci-fi
and superhero stuff.
I think this would probably work better now than it did 15 years ago
to the general populace.
And it also involves the earth being demolished
and I think a lot of people would be like, oh, thank God.
What a relief.
Oh, my God.
This future is the future we dreamed of.
There'd be less panic and more people going, oh, yeah, good actually.
Yeah.
It's really good if I'm honest.
Yeah.
Do I get to have a lie in on the day that the Earth is demolished?
Good, great.
That movie.
I think there'd be people going like, because Arthur Dent,
he wakes up and he discovers that his house is being demolished.
Yeah.
I think a lot of people would be like, go back to bed, Arthur Dent.
Don't even worry about him, man.
Just let him do it.
It's fine.
Absolutely.
I like that cast.
I like it too.
But would you get the original cast back?
Probably not.
I mean, if it was a sequel, then yes.
Yep.
But I think also that that movie is too rushed.
I think that's what didn't work for me.
Yeah.
So you start from scratch is what you're saying.
So no is what I'm saying.
Yeah, they did really try and squeeze in.
Yeah.
Zooey Deschanel, is she in that?
She's in that, yeah.
Yeah.
Most Def. Alan Rick in that, yeah Most Def
Alan Rickman
Yes
Most Def
It's good though, I think it's okay
The movie
Yes, correct, yes
Get Out, Mason
I'll get out too
No, Get Out
Get back in
What do you think?
Because it's a universe where like brain transplants
Spoilers, spoilers, spoilers folks for Get Out
Spoilers for Get Out.
I know, but people still haven't gotten around to it.
That's true.
If you haven't gotten around to it, you should pause this
and get around to it.
Yes.
But anyway, spoilers for Get Out.
Also spoilers for all of those.
Oh, yeah.
Should have put that up too.
Get Out.
Yeah, I mean it ended with two best pals who were like,
we should go and find all these people
that have brain transplanted into the bodies of African-American people
and kill them all.
So I would love to see that.
Yeah, absolutely.
Because the first one is like it's so tense and it's so.
But you also don't know what's going on.
So do you think that would like lessen the effect of the second one
or do you think it would be interesting where it's been flipped?
Yeah.
Where like the characters are now actively.
I think it would be a different movie but I think that would totally work
in the sense that like the movie was so tense and we got a certain release
at the end because we're like, because remember at the end,
like Daniel Kaluuya, he escapes and then the police car rolls up
and you're like, oh, no, he's going to be killed after all this
and then it's his friend.
There was another ending where it wasn't that.
They shot a few others.
And we get that really similar.
We're like, oh, that's really fast.
It feels good.
But I think in the next one it would just be like just a visceral thrill
of them just killing all these horrible people.
I don't think it has to be the same.
It doesn't have to be a horror movie.
I think it should just be like they go out and they kill all these people
because they're awful.
Yep.
Cool.
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
Us?
No.
Probably not the right people.
To act in it.
Or you just all make the movie.
We don't even have the copyright for one even if we were able to.
Yeah.
I mean, it couldn't be.
Yeah.
What about this?
Go on.
What about this?
Ex machina but like there's a robot running about.
I like it.
In the real world.
Yeah.
And she's like, I've got skin and hair now.
That's true, yeah.
I'm going to maybe do a Westworld style.
Oh, it's just Westworld, isn't it?
It really is.
That's a shame, isn't it?
Yeah.
That stands on its own, that movie, though.
Yeah.
But I mean, also, you know, so much of the premise of that movie,
well, it is quite self-contained in the sense that most of that movie is,
is she alive or is she not alive?
And we...
Does she have...
Is Domino Gleeson going to get out?
Is she sent in?
Is she, you know, or is she just a collection of programming
and we kind of, once she's out of the closed system,
it doesn't really matter anymore.
Yeah, absolutely.
Okay.
So no is what you're saying?
No, let's say no.
It's the magic of that one.
I agree.
I'm with you on that.
Plus we can't bring back Oscar Isaac.
No.
Unless computer.
Unless computer.
Robot.
Robot man.
She makes a robot Oscar Isaac.
Robot Oscar Isaac.
But would Oscar Isaac do it?
Doesn't matter.
We've got a robot Oscar Isaac.
Yeah, you just get a fake one.
Yeah, yeah.
Fake one.
Yeah, yeah.
You build him like one of the fake Bill and Ted's
in Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey.
Just a tin can robot.
Just made of like hair dryers and stuff.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Great.
What about this?
Go on.
I don't know why I've written this,
but Tango and Cash and it's modern day
and they're privatized.
Okay.
Yep.
They're still, Kurt Russell and Sylvester Stallone.
What do you think?
Yes. Okay, cool. Don're still, Kurt Russell and Sylvester Stallone. What do you think? Yes.
Okay, cool.
Don't give me this Expendables nonsense where they're just generic.
I've never been on board.
No, I know.
Yeah.
But you might turn one day.
No.
What I'm saying is before you go crazy and be like,
let's do Expendables 4, let's not do Expendables 4.
Instead of just being like, here's some old cranks from old movies
you remember sort of liking.
Just have them wander around and shoot guns and maybe you'll like that.
Yeah.
Just give us a more focused, get two of the actors we enjoyed
and give them a focused adventure.
Yep.
Why not Tango and Cash?
Why not Tango and Cash?
Why not Rambo and Snake Plissken?
Yeah, okay.
But on different time periods.
Yeah, no, that's true.
Rambo and Jack.
Yeah, I was going to say, big trouble.
But then one's wacky and one's too serious.
And one ran into the mountains on a horse, remember,
because he murdered all those people.
Yeah.
I mean, they were drug cartels, but you're going to have to answer questions.
That is true, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
What about Cobra and Jack?
No, because Cobra's too serious as well, I think.
Yeah, but that would work though, wouldn't it?
I guess it would, yeah.
Yeah, you're right.
Yeah.
Because, yeah.
Yeah, maybe.
No, let's do Tango and Cash.
Do you think in this new one, though, you'd have to also,
Kurt Russell, comment on the size of Stallone's penis in it,
like you did in the last one?
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Still looking good.
No, I think it was the opposite.
Oh, right.
Still looking bad.
Still got a bad dick, Sly Stallone. Sorry. So, yeah, I like it was the opposite. All right. Still looking bad. Still got a bad dick sliced alone.
Sorry.
So, yeah, I like the idea of tag or catch.
Would you do another Escape from New York or something like that?
Well, they're talking about a reboot, aren't they?
Going back into New York or whatever it is, yeah.
Isn't his son maybe going to do it?
Like Wyatt Russell?
That's a guy, though, who's the son of a celebrity, and I'm like,
no, that's cool.
I like him. Right, who's the son of a celebrity, and I'm like, no, that's cool. I like him.
Right.
What's the difference?
Also because we know that Wyatt Russell is the son of Kurt Russell.
Yeah.
But Jack Quaid, Dennis Quaid.
He tricked us.
He didn't trick us, though.
That's the thing.
But I reckon their PR people are like, hey, you know Wyatt Russell.
He's the son of Kurt Russell.
Like they're upfront about it.
Okay.
But I feel like they're basically with a Jack Quaid,
they've gone like, hey, you want to interview Jack Quaid for the boys?
Do not mention he's the son of Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid.
Do not bring it up or you do not get the interview.
But I also think that I don't think that's what Wyatt Russell is known
for either.
Right.
Like I don't think he's, you know,
that's not the front and centre of the things that he's about.
Yeah, right.
So Lee Wannell wants Wyatt Russell for Escape from New York.
I don't know whether that's actually, but that'd be a good company.
Did you ever see Zombies But Mutants?
Wyatt Russell was in it.
It's a World War II one.
Oh, Overlord.
Yeah, that was good.
No, I didn't.
Never watched it.
You should watch it.
I will.
It's on Summerlist.
It's good, good, good.
Yeah.
What other, are there any other 80s buddy things
that we could bring back somehow?
Cobra.
No, he doesn't have any buddies.
He's friendless Cobra.
They call him No Friends Cobretti.
That's a great question.
Yeah.
So would you do a Commando, for example?
Alyssa Milano, still around?
Yeah, but like what are you doing with Commando now? I don't know
but I would watch it. I'm not
even a huge fan of the original
You might be a huge fan of this though. Yeah but I think
it's like it's exactly
what it is like it's perfect
right as what it is but then you take
that guy and you're like he's old
and it's like but who cares? You barely lift that
four barrel rocket launcher you know? Yeah and the
big tree stump and all those things I know the imagery but I just don't think it's like, but who cares? You barely lift that four-barrel rocket launcher, you know? Yeah, and the big tree stump and all those things.
I know the imagery.
But I just don't think it's, I don't think it would do well either.
Yeah, probably, yeah.
It's like it's Commando but his granddaughter got kidnapped or whatever.
Like because you couldn't make it, would you have to make it like similar
to the first or would you do like a wild spin-off where he's like filled
with regret?
Like because neither of those sound good to me.
I think it would just be wacky probably.
Okay.
You can call it Grandpa Commando.
Okay.
Fine.
Gramps Commando.
Grand Old Commando.
Great.
What else was from the 80s though?
It's just like a one-off thing.
What about a bloody Big Trouble, which they're doing with The Rock?
What about a Kurt Russell version?
I don't know.
I kind of like the magic of that one where it is.
He'll definitely be in the remake, right, in some capacity?
I'd imagine so.
As Lopan?
He'll put him in?
I've never seen it.
Put him in Oriental makeup?
Cause a huge scandal?
He'd do it too.
Yeah.
No, he probably wouldn't do that.
You know what?
And maybe it's because I don't have any particularly great memories, like of Tango and Cash. I'm like, well, it's probably going to be better than the that. You know what? And maybe it's because I don't have any particularly great memories,
like of Tango and Cash.
I'm like, well, it's probably going to be better than the original.
You know what I mean?
So maybe Tango and Cash is the one I want.
All right, fair enough.
What about Masters of the Universe?
What about Over the Top?
What about-
Over the Top 2, still topping.
Still topping.
What about Blind Fury?
With Rutger Hau.
Rutger Hau is dead.
He's dead. Why don't you get another
guy? Have you seen the trailer for
Overseer? Which one's that? It's a
video game. It's a
remake. Yeah.
Overseer System Redux. It's like a
cyberpunk action
game. Yeah. It looks really good. What is
it though? I don't know. Like what kind of
game? It's like first person action
RPG kind of situation.
You're just looking forward to Cyberpunk, aren't you?
Yeah, but I mean this looks good too, actually.
We should do this as well.
But I'm saying Rutger Hau is in it by the fact that he died.
They've brought him back.
They've brought him back, yeah.
Oh, that's cool.
Okay.
What about this one?
What about this one?
What about this one?
I'm ready.
Cabin in the woods but like just take any of the monsters
or elements and do another.
Not interested. Yeah, me neither. Yeah. But, you know, people are like it's great and what about it? Yeah. in the woods but like just take any of the monsters or elements and do another not interested yeah me
neither yeah but you know people are like it's great and what about it yeah by the very nature
of it you take any one of those things out i'm like no i don't care so it didn't wasn't the world
destroyed by a cthulhu the world was completely destroyed uh by by elder gods at the end of that
movie so yeah but like you don't want to do it about that? No. Okay. What about this? Also, the other gods were the audience, I think.
It's a metaphor.
Very good.
I get it now.
Any Edgar Wright stuff, like do you do a Shaun of the Dead 2?
Do you do a Hot Fuzz 2?
But then I feel like that those movies are, in a way,
continuations of each other.
That is true.
Despite not being sequels and different characters or whatever.
It's true.
But they are a contained thing.
Yeah.
Where are you at?
I would like to see a Hot Fuzz 2.
Me too.
Of the Cornetto trilogy, give me a Hot Fuzz 2.
You don't want to see Shaun of the Dead but 20 years later
and he's like, but I still don't have a job or whatever.
No.
Me neither.
But also Nick Frost is like a zombie.
He's a zombie so you don't get that back and forth anymore.
I think the best one would be Hot Fuzz 2.
And I think Edgar Wright could probably make a good Hot Fuzz 2.
Yeah.
Because he made the first one, which was good.
He made the first one good, but also maybe just we don't need it.
Leave it as it is.
I think they should leave it.
I've got a couple more, Mason.
Okay.
I've got some big ones coming up.
I'm ready.
The fifth element.
The sixth element.
What is it, though?
It's another sexy lady.
That's right. It's an even sexier lady? It's another sexy lady. That's right.
It's an even sexier lady.
Even sexier than before.
That's right, yes.
That's right.
I mean you'd have to, would you bring back your Bruce Willis's
and all that?
No, you wouldn't, would you?
We wouldn't do it.
You've got to factor that in.
I mean he would do it but he wouldn't do it.
He released a movie this year.
There's a movie out.
He's in.
Which one?
I don't know what it's called.
It's not that medical hospital one that we talked about.
No, it's a different thing.
I saw it on the Planet Broadcasting Great Mates Facebook
group. Somebody put it up and was like,
can you believe he made a movie in 2020?
Like he made it this year?
Hard Kill. Hard Kill.
There we go. Or Survive the Night?
I don't know. How would I know?
Hard Kill sounds... Let me find a
list of Bruce Willis movies.
Mercenaries race against the clock to stop a man meant for music
and computer program to wreak havoc around the globe.
Let me find out what Bruce Willis is worth.
Jesse Metcalf is in it.
Yeah.
Okay, so Bruce Willis is apparently worth an estimated $200 million.
Just stop, Bruce Willis.
Just put your money in it.
Just stop, Bruce Willis.
If you can, if you're out there, just stop, Bruce Willis. Just put your money in it. Just stop Bruce Willis. If you can, if you're out there, just stop Bruce Willis.
So, yeah, he's got two this year.
He's got Survive the Night, Hard to Kill,
and then next year he's got Breach.
He's looking so regretful on the poster.
Well, he doesn't pose for posters, does he?
It looks like he's looking over at his agent.
Yeah.
So next year he's got Breach and then Midnight in the Switchgrass
and then Cosmic Sin.
These are the names of the last five movies that he's been in.
Go on.
James Ford, Carl Helter, Clay Young, Donovan Chalmers, Frank Clark.
They're the character names.
Yes.
Okay, right.
Also apparently he plays himself in the Lego movie too.
Huh.
I don't know what to...
Look, I know we pop on about this all the time,
but it is mystifying, right?
There's got to be some sort of...
Like, surely he's done an interview in the last five years
about his process or how he chooses scripts or something like that.
If somebody's read one, send it in because I would love to know.
Because obviously as an interviewer you can't go,
why do you still make movies?
But surely there's a way to ease that in and be like.
You're very prolific.
Yeah, or like what.
What are you doing?
Right.
What makes a Bruce Willis movie?
What makes you go, hmm, this is the one for me kind of thing?
Because what is it?
Is it like it's like he has a job at a factory or something like that
and he's just like, oh, here we go.
Except no one's told him, Bruce, you have $200 million.
You don't need to do this if you don't want to do this.
Well, some people don't stop, you know what I mean?
But why?
You've got those guys that like work until the day that they die.
Yeah.
But they seem to enjoy it.
That's what I'm saying.
Well, maybe he does enjoy it, but he just...
Maybe he doesn't like everything else,
but also everybody who works with him is like, he's awful.
Maybe, James, the acting is when he pretends he doesn't like it.
Maybe he loves making these movies more than anything,
but then his...
But he's like, acting in a movie,
acting for like six
weeks while we make a movie that's not a challenge for me the acting is i live my real life acting as
if i hate making movies and that's my character i'm method forever now i don't know i just feel
like he i think i said this last week but like he wants to play guitar and nobody cares so he's just
like fine i'll fucking make movies and I'll make a million movies a year.
I've got two more.
Okay.
And they're big ones.
They're big, hot properties.
But, of course, if you do want to jump in and stop me, you can, Mason.
Joker.
The Joker sequel.
I mean, they will make one, won't they?
It made a billion dollars, right?
Yeah, it made a billion dollars.
What do you do?
Do you Batman it?
Does he get out of the asylum and get into a different fridge?
Does his mum come back as a ghost?
All of those things.
Do they clean up New York?
And when he gets out and he's like, this isn't the New York I remember.
My New York was filled with jokes.
I'm going to bring jokes back to New York.
Jokes and smoking.
Jokes and smoking.
Yeah, because he gets out in like 2004 when they brought in that rule
in pubs in Australia that you couldn't smoke.
That's right.
What do you think? I don't want that. Me either. 2004 when they brought in that rule in pubs in Australia that you couldn't smoke in divorce. That's right.
What do you think?
I don't want that.
Me neither.
But do you think they will?
Yes.
They've definitely talked about it, right?
Yeah, for sure.
Yeah, yeah.
And I don't know, do they do one more movie without a Batman?
I feel like- I don't think they're going to do Batman.
Right.
I think they're just going to keep it as this like avant-garde.
Do you think he meets other villains?
Like who?
Penguin.
The Riddler, but he smokes.
Yeah, the Riddler is Penguin, but he smokes more.
Like instead of smoking through that little cigarette hole,
he just smokes regular cigarettes.
Yeah.
Poison Ivy. Poison Ivy, but she puts her cigarettes out on plants.
I was going to say, yeah, and she drinks weed killer.
I don't know. There we go. Yeah, I mean puts her cigarettes out on plants. I was going to say, yeah, and she drinks weed killer. I don't know.
There we go.
Yeah, I mean, they'll probably do it.
But here's one that I really want.
Do you do just other homages to Scorsese movies?
Do you just introduce other villains in the style
of other Scorsese movies somehow?
Okay, so give me an example.
I don't know.
Gangs of New York, but it's
a Joker. Yep, but it's
Penguin.
That's a good one. Because he's working his way up through the gangs
of Gotham.
The Wolf of Wall Street, but
it's Roman Sionis. Yes.
Goodfellas, but it's The Mob
from the Batman movies.
Yep, perfect.
Casino, but it's.
Gambling.
There's roulette.
She's a gambling lady.
Yeah, I was going to say.
There's a bunch of like chants related.
The Royal Flush Gang.
Yep, yep, yep.
Okay, what about this?
Go on.
Silence.
It's the one about religion in Japan.
Yeah, okay.
But it's the Joker.
And you know what they'd have in the trailer?
Just the Joker being like.
You know what I mean?
Because he would, wouldn't he?
He'd be like.
And he'd be like.
Yeah.
These are all good.
That's a very sinister shuffling, you would say.
Okay.
It is, isn't it?
We also figured out our Joker commentary, which is now out somewhere,
that Scott says he hasn't seen Joker.
Yeah, we thought he had.
They tethered his name to it, but he has nothing to do with it.
Yeah.
Did they even pay him?
Because it's like, yeah, I saw it was going to do it,
but then I didn't.
Yeah, like we were under the assumption that he was an executive producer or something like that. He was watching them dailies, but he wasn't. And then. Yeah. Like we were, we were, we were under the assumption that he was an executive producer or
something like that.
He was watching them dailies,
but he wasn't.
It was just like,
Hey,
I made a movie.
That's like your movies.
Martin Scorsese.
What do you think about this?
And he's like,
no,
I haven't watched it.
He was,
I think the interview was like,
no,
I get it.
Yeah.
Like it was like,
yeah,
I get it.
But like,
if you go to his like IMDB or his Wikipedia or whatever,
he's got zero credits in it. Yeah. He has nothing to do with it. But if you go to his IMDB or his Wikipedia or whatever, he's got zero credits in it.
Yeah.
He has nothing to do with it.
Also, if I remember correctly in that Joker commentary,
we also attempted to figure out what our Joker laughs would be
because you need a specific Joker laugh.
And I think we both decided ours would be,
oh, that's really funny actually.
That's actually a good joke.
That's a good joke.
Good work.
Yeah, we bloody.
I'm just double checking that Martin Scorsese has that.
Okay, we don't want to look like fools.
No, but I'm pretty confident.
We've never looked like fools before, so we don't want to now.
He's 5'3".
I didn't realise that.
Scorsese.
No, that makes sense.
He's wide though.
He is wide, isn't he?
Yeah.
Yeah, there's nothing here about Joker.
But he was like, he's involved in like uncut gems and shit.
It's a good movie.
Yeah, so he's doing stuff.
Yeah.
But there you go.
What's his star sign do you
want to know scorsese yeah i reckon he is a pisces scorpio you fucking idiot god damn it i was gonna
say scorpio too but i thought it'd be too obvious it would be too obvious that's your problem mason
go with your gut all right uh i've got one more okay i'm ready this is a big one though yes the
movie bright you take everything that people know about the movie Bright.
Or Cops.
Or Cops.
And you make a second Bright movie and you call it Bright
but the Bs are two.
Too right.
And it's set in Australia and they're fighting bunyips.
Too right, mate.
What do you think?
I love it.
James, I love it.
Oh, good.
All right.
I think they are making bright too.
Of course they are.
Yeah, because it did well.
And I'll watch it, but it's not.
It won't be good.
The first one wasn't good and this one won't be good.
But I don't think David Ayer's doing it either.
But I'm pretty sure Joel Edgerton, Australian, is involved in it still.
Yeah, maybe Angelina Jolie.
Louis Lettier is going to direct, who did The Incredible Hulk.
Yeah, right.
Do you think this is actually going to happen?
Yeah, maybe.
Is Will Smith back?
Yep.
Is Joel Edgerton back?
Yep.
Is he a bunyip this time?
No, he's still an orc.
He's shooting bunyips.
Wow.
But he's like, but I'm Australian too.
Should I be doing this? Yeah. No Joel Edgerton. Can't wait for T. Wright. Oh, my God still an orc. He's shooting bunyips. But he's like, but I'm Australian too. Should I be doing this?
Yeah.
No Joel Edgerton.
Can't wait for T-Rite.
Oh, my God.
Sounds really good.
Look, the best thing, I think we mentioned,
but the best thing that's ever come out of that is the orc cop rap.
Yes.
So if you've gone, just go to YouTube and look up orc cop.
Yeah.
It's from Lindsay Ellis' Bright Review, isn't it?
It's what she commissioned.
It's very funny.
Yeah, it really is.
It's, I can't pronounce his last name, Demi. He's. It's very funny. Yeah, it really is.
I can't pronounce his last name.
He's Electro Lemon on Twitter.
Okay. And he does the joke of Will Smith rapping in the style of Will Smith
and explaining what happened in the movie in the form of a rap.
Very good.
Very good.
That's all the ones that I've got, though.
We might come back to this, but I also saw a suggestion on Twitter
that was like, what about, so I said it to you before the show
and now I can't remember what it was, franchises that had,
I'm padding because it's not in my head at all.
What was it?
I don't know.
What was it?
What was it?
Franchises.
That.
Yes.
Will.
Yes.
Have.
Have.
Bright sequels.
Too right.
Too right.
I can't remember.
It was a really good suggestion.
Do you remember?
I said it before the show, right?
Like I said.
I don't know. I'm sure I did.
I was too busy drinking this delicious water.
Fuck, it's going to annoy me.
Anyway, next segment of the show, if I remember, I'll mention it.
Please do.
Do you know what it is?
It's what we read in and then what we're going to read.
We both watched Enola Holmes, right?
I haven't even put the theme song in, Mason.
Oh, my God.
What are you doing?
I was too excited that we both had something that we watched at the same time.
Normally I'm like, oh, that sounds good.
I'll get to it next week.
Yeah.
And then I'll say, I'll watch the thing and you're like, I've forgotten it already.
Yeah, because there's a million things on.
We're just not in sync. All right, I'll say, I'll watch the thing and you're like, I've forgotten it already. Yeah, because there's a million things on. We're just not in sync.
All right, here we go.
I'm doing the thing.
Mist world.
We did both watch Enola Holmes.
Yeah.
I'd only seen like 10 minutes of it when I spoke to you yesterday.
Yes, uh-huh.
And then I finished it last night.
For me, at the start I'm like,
I don't think I'm about this.
Okay.
But by the end I'm like, that's all right.
It's fine.
It's fine.
All right.
Yeah, right?
Well cast.
It's very well cast.
It's a bit meandering I think.
It is a bit, yeah.
But I think that is inherent to any kind of Sherlock Holmes
old-timey mystery kind of thing.
He's a giant Sherlock Holmes, isn't he?
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
He's so big. That jacket's belly containing isn't he? Yeah, oh, my God, he's so big.
That jacket's belly containing Henry Cavill in there.
Oh, my God.
But, I mean, he's not even in it that much, really.
It's very much a Millie Bobby Brown movie.
I think it's like it's a non-surprising but fun jaunt.
But I think if, like, you haven't watched a lot of Agatha Christie
or in Australia it's like ABC, like, crime detective shows or your Poirot's or whatever.
Oh, yeah.
It's like a.
Misficious murder mystery.
Yeah, something like that.
It's like a, you know, it's like a version.
I think if, you know, especially if you're a younger person
who hasn't really seen a lot in this kind of genre,
I think you'd get a real kick out of it.
Yeah.
But it's fun and it's charming and, you know, and it moves along.
I wish there was more Helena Bonham Carter.
I think there was Helena Bonham Carter.
Helena Bonham McCartimer.
That's what I, yeah, because she's kind of interspersed throughout it
and I think she's terrific in it.
Yeah, but what about you?
Anything else to say?
I liked it.
It was good, good fun, good moustaches.
Yeah, great moustaches.
All about the place.
Who do you think would be a good John Watson to a-
Oh, because he doesn't have a Watson, does he?
Right.
Because he's like, I work alone.
He'd also have to be British and enormous, right?
Yeah.
Statham.
Statham.
But what do you do like an even taller but rangier guy?
Do you do like a Stephen Merchant?
Stephen Merchant would definitely work.
Because they need to offset a little bit, you know what I mean?
Yeah.
It can't be like the same.
But I guess you reverse it, I guess.
Like generally speaking, Watson is short and stocky.
Yes.
And Sherlock is tall and rangy.
But I guess.
Whatever.
Yeah, whatever.
That's right, yeah.
Yeah, Stephen Merchant would be good.
Yeah.
Speaking of Stephen Merchant, I watched The Girl and the Spider's Web.
Which one's that?
Which is the, you know, the girl with the dragon tattoo.
Is that a sequel?
Yeah, it's one of the sequels to that except they've recast.
Everybody?
Yes, everybody.
So it's Claire Foy from The Crown instead of whoever it was,
Numi Rupes.
Is it better than the other remake of it with Daniel Craig?
Oh, it's a sequel to that.
Yes.
Is it better than that?
I think it is better than that.
I think this was from 2018.
Yeah.
But I think they've shifted it more towards an action.
Maybe I should watch that.
It's –
Is it like those Morgan Freeman, Along Came a Spider kind of movies?
Remember those?
Yeah, I remember those, yeah.
Ashley Judd was always in them.
She was always in them.
I love Ashley Judd.
It's more action-paced and I think that's because it's based on one of the novels
that was released after the original author's death.
Okay.
So I think they're like, well, now these are popular,
better make them, you know.
Jazzy.
Jazzy and zippy, you know what I mean?
Yeah, I hear what you're saying.
It's pretty solid and it's got Lakeith Stanfield in it.
Oh, cool.
That's a good cast.
It's good.
Who directed that?
I don't know.
That's crazy.
Probably somebody Dutch or something.
Wherever she's from, this character.
Yeah, wherever she's from, this character.
Is she Dutch in the movie?
Yes, it's still set in. set in Holland or Finland or the Netherlands.
I don't know, somewhere.
Yeah, it's a great question though, isn't it?
Yeah.
All right.
So do we want to talk about the boys or we'll talk about it when it's done?
Let's maybe talk about it when it's done.
Okay.
You're still boys and along?
Still boys and along.
What else did I watch this week?
I'm about to watch that.
It's the documentary about the game console wars.
High Score?
Yeah.
I've written that down.
No, not that.
That's a different one.
This is called Console Wars.
Oh, my God.
High Score is a different one on Netflix, which is cool as well.
I talked about that on Suggestible, my less successful podcast.
Oh, yes.
I do with my wife, Claire, that it does cover like your big things,
like your Mario versus Sonic or whatever.
Then it will be like this person who was part of the gay community
in the 80s, you know, who was kind of being – the AIDS epidemic was rife
and the government wasn't doing anything about it.
He made this like point-and-click adventure, which was a fun underground game
that like made fun of these like religious bigots.
Oh, interesting.
And that became like – so it does stuff like that.
And then it will be like Mario versus Sonic. This is high score.
This is high score, yeah. So it's really
interesting like the eras and the people that it touches
upon. So it's not just like
and then there was the Atari crash
and they buried all the ETs in the desert.
Like, yeah, we fucking know!
We know.
We all know that now. That's right.
They dug it up. Yeah. We know.
Yeah. Anyway, so yeah, it's right. They dug it up. Yeah. We know. Yeah. Anyway, so, yeah, it's cool.
I like it.
Anyway, anything else?
Oh, I read a bunch of Batman the Shadow comics.
I don't know how I got onto that, but I'm just like,
I'm going to read every Batman the Shadow crossover.
Batman, like, the gun is a weapon of a coward,
and the Shadow's like, well, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
Exactly right, yeah.
It's sort of like I'm going to look it up for you, James. I there's like i'm gonna i'm gonna look it up
for you james i love looking up i'm gonna look it up but they're really very good they're i i'm
are these new 2017 ish okay uh but there's one about him by scott snyder did the writing on uh
on one of them oh okay cool all right i'm all on board for that. Yeah. And it's great in that they've sort of evolved the character
of the shadow.
Like he's still alive.
Like they said in the modern day.
Why is he still alive?
Ghost powers?
Yeah, ghost powers.
But he's like he's outlived all of his like allies and most
of his enemies and he's just become this like unrelenting force
of justice but he's not human anymore really.
Yeah, right.
Because he's gone too weird.
Is he still got that knife?
Ah, the knife is involved.
That's what I want, the cranky knife.
The cranky knife is involved at some point.
Great.
And that kind of, we always talk about how maybe the era of that
and adapting those is kind of past.
Yes.
This version of the shadow kind of, I'm like this feels fresh
and modern even though he's a character from a different era.
I'm like, this is cool.
You could do it for real then.
I don't know.
I don't know if it would translate, but it's kind of, I don't know.
I like the weirdness of it.
Yeah, right.
Kind of surreal and it's more mystical and it's not just, oh my God.
So you could do it outside of Batman then as well, right?
I think you could, yeah.
Yeah, okay, cool.
So do you bring back Alec Baldwin and you do it?
Yes.
Okay.
My God, yes.
I think Batman the Shadow, the murder genius is what it's called.
I'm going to check that out, I hope.
Yeah.
Or say I will and then forget.
Murderers come to Gotham City and Lamont Cranston appears to be the culprit,
but he's been dead for over 50 years.
Yeah, that doesn't make any sense.
Spoiler, he's not.
He's the Shadow.
Did he do the murders?
No.
But he does do murders, doesn't he?
Oh, heaps.
Yeah.
Just stacks of them.
Yeah, he loves it.
Cool. Next. Bang, bang, bang, bang. Bang, bang, murders, doesn't he? Oh, heaps. Yeah. Just stacks of them. Yeah, he loves it. Cool.
Next.
Bang, bang, bang, bang.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
That's the weapon of the coward, actually.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
It's actually really embarrassing what you're doing.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
Jeez, he is getting results, though, isn't he?
I mean, he's really mowing through those guys.
He's really just mowing.
I mean, I usually put them in jail and then a week later
they escape from jail. Those guys
are not getting out of jail. They're definitely not.
They're dead. They're dead
men. Maybe I should rethink my
no-gun stance.
Should we do the next segment of the show? The letters segment?
Yeah, I think we should. That's what I'm about. I'll play the theme
of the letters segment.
The classic one was the letters
of 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.
Bang, bang, bang, bang.
Bang, bang.
What was that topic?
I cannot.
I was trying to find it.
I can't.
What's that?
The topic that I have.
The topic for next week.
It's not even going to, might not even do it.
Okay, great.
It was like franchise, oh, this is what it was.
Go on.
It was franchise starters. Okay, great. It was like franchise. Oh, this is what it was. Go on. It was franchise starters.
Oh, right.
And we've done a video on it, but like we've never talked about Eragon.
That's true.
I've also never seen Eragon.
Maybe we could watch Eragon.
Maybe next week we'll just do an in-depth dive on the movie Eragon.
No.
And the Golden Compass.
Yes, that one we have talked about, again, though I haven't seen it.
That's a series now, isn't it? Yes. His Dark
Materials. That's right. Mason, if you want to reach
the show, you're in it. You can just bring
it up here. But for others, hashtag
weeklyplanetpod on Twitter or
weeklyplanetpod at gmail.com. That's correct. That's very
correct. Shoot us through some things. Here's one.
This is from John Grayson. Hello, John Grayson.
I just spent last week in hospital having my third
brain cancer surgery. Admit it.
11th. Dis it. 11th.
Discharged.
18th. Listened to Planet Broadcasting.
Helped keep me sane during the week.
Here's a photo of the lovely scar.
That's it.
It's big.
It's a big-ass scar.
It's a big one.
Big old shaved patch.
Third one.
Bloody hell.
But it went well, though, it seems.
The pathology results came in, and best news possible, low-grade still.
Fuck yeah.
It's from John.
Thank you, John.
Good work, John.
Yeah, good job. Good surviving. Yes. Loving that. I'm loving that. I'm also loving that.grade still. Fuck yeah. It's from John. Thank you, John. Good work, John. Yeah, good job.
Good surviving.
Yes.
Loving that.
I'm loving that.
I'm also loving that.
I'm very, yeah.
I mean, he said listening to Planet Broadcasting kept me sane.
Oh.
Not the weekly Planet specifically.
But he did email this one.
Or was he emailing everybody?
Maybe email, oh, my God.
Did he CC in everybody?
Oh, my God.
What if Think Tank next week, they're like.
Those dogs.
Oh, my God.
What a. No, but that's very
promising. Absolutely it is. That's really good news.
It's nice to have some good news.
It's lovely to have good news. I did ask for
one good thing. That's right. There we go.
It's from Ari Katz.
Who do you think should be the villain in the
She-Hulk series? Personally, I think Modok
would be a great fit. People are Modok mad
at the moment because, you know, he's in that video game or whatever. That's right. I think Modok is be a great fit. People are Modok mad at the moment because, you know,
he's in that video game or whatever.
That's right.
I think Modok is a good fit.
Do you go smart or do you go someone to punch with She-Hulk?
Ooh.
I mean, Modok is someone smart and someone to punch also. That's right.
He does it all.
That's right.
Yeah.
Big floating punching bag.
I think she's going to need a foe in the courtroom and a foe on the streets,
and they don't have to be the same person necessarily
because I don't think there are many evil lawyers
who are also supervillains.
There probably is.
There's probably tons.
But I can't think of one immediately.
But it could be like a corporate lawyer defending a supervillain
and then at the end she just leaps to the bench and punches them.
Maybe.
Both are lawyers. Yeah, that's right. But I like the idea of MOD leaps the bench and punches them. Maybe. Both alone.
Yeah, that's right.
But I like the idea of MODOK.
I think that's a good choice.
Do you have another email, Mason?
I will look for another email right now.
I've got one.
Bring one over, yeah.
It's from the true Mad Hatter.
Okay.
Next week you should do movies that were supposed to be more than one movie,
but thank God they made one movie.
I'm looking at you, Eragon.
Whoa, hello.
So I put that in knowing that I'd
probably forget and I did.
We should cover that though.
This is from Nathan Hastie, a listener
from Australia. G'day James
and Maceo. Authentic. G'day.
Since you're now going to get a flood of listeners from different
countries while riding after Trinidad and Uruguay
I thought I'd write to let you know that I'm from your own backyard, Australia.
Yeah.
As an Australian, it's actually so nice to hear my own accent on air
and get all the local references.
Too right.
Too right.
I like to think of myself as part of the smaller community of listeners
who don't think you both sound strange.
You actually sound really normal.
Keep up the great work, Nathan Hastie.
Gold Coast.
No, I'm just kidding
you
Nathan
Gold Coast is alright
PS if you could send
an automatic reply
from the email
that would be a bloody ripper
what do we got
we got love it
yep
we've got haha
that's awesome
yep
and we've got haha
thanks
we need the
what's the weirdest one
none of those are particularly weird
I like haha
that's awesome
yeah these are getting better
okay I'm gonna
I'm gonna send that one
very good stuff
nice
and sent and sent and done there we go great I think that's the show then unless you've got another email I'm going to send that one. Very good stuff. Nice. And sent.
And sent and done.
There we go.
Great.
I think that's the show then unless you've got another email.
That's all the emails we've got this week.
Fantastic.
Two emails.
Two emails.
We didn't talk about Quibi this week.
Oh, yeah, they sold it.
They're selling Quibi.
No one bought it.
Ben Willems has said, why is Quibi?
If anybody-
Quibi is now free in New Zealand and Australia.
Maybe a deep dive is in order for an upcoming episode.
Yeah, I guess.
I don't- I mean, this is, if you're like a corporate company
and no one is listening to this, obviously, but like don't buy it.
What are you buying it for?
The content?
Quibi doesn't even own it.
Also the brand recognition?
It's garbage.
If you're looking to start a streaming service, just make a new one.
Don't buy this piece of shit, right?
Right?
Anyway, that's just my take on it.
We've never deep-dived on it.
Maybe I love the golden arm.
Maybe.
Yeah.
Is that the show, though?
That's the whole show.
Thank you, everybody, so much for listening.
I hope everybody's doing all right out there.
Everybody's brains are...
Not mush.
All in their heads and doing good.
I'm very happy to hear that.
Look forward to some Mission Impossible 3 action this week, Mason.
That's right.
I haven't done the stunt yet.
I've been putting it off for some good weather,
but I'm not looking forward to it, Mason.
This week, James' stunt is he's going to lie in a deck chair
and just enjoy some sun.
My God, I would love that.
That's very unlike me too.
That's right.
Thank you, everybody, for listening and telling a friend
and subscribing and leaving a nice review.
James, you got one?
I've got a couple of nice reviews, Mason.
It helps so much because you just do it in app.
This is from John Cole.
He says, I read a comment, you're shooting up your butthole.
These two are beautiful human beings that I'm not cool enough
to hang out with in real life.
That's probably almost certainly not true.
Yeah, plus we've been hanging out all the time.
I'm hanging out with all the listeners.
That's right.
Didn't you know that?
I'm hanging out with all the listeners.
I've been hanging out with them all day.
You're hanging out with them after the show as well, aren't you?
After the show, during the show, somehow there, just now,
yeah? It's great. This pod gives me
the opportunity to be in the room with them during wild rants
and fair-minded analysis.
They invite strangers into their friendship
and I, for one, feel blessed to be included.
Thank you very much. That's very nice. And this one is from
the great mate book nerd.
Don't hate with an eight to this pod,
but the hate has an eight in it.
So, yeah, five stars.
Really helps the show.
Really appreciate it.

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+.
