But it's also brought to you by ExpressVPN. Goodness me. I don't understand it, but I like it. Equally good.

I agree. Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of the Weekly Planet, where we talk. Welcome back everybody to another episode of The Weekly Planet where we talk movies and comics and TV shows. My name is James and I'm also known as Mr. Sunday and with me also is also my host Nick Mason. Hello man. Yeah brother. It's good to be here isn't it?

Oh my god, Friday night, let's do it. Let's do it. Let's clink our beverages together. That's right. Ah, love a forced camaraderie. It's not good is it? Felt bad when I was doing it? Yep. Didn't clink properly. No, because yours is metal. Different drinks. Yeah, yeah,ie. It's not good, is it? Felt bad when I was doing it. Yep.

Didn't clink properly. No, because yours is metal. We've got different drinks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It didn't work. Non-alcoholic, so there's no, we're not going to get looser. No, it's true. If anything, this is quite sour, so if anything, my lips are going to go in.

You're going to pucker up. I'm going to pucker right up. Guess what, Mason? So free kisses to all the listeners. Some people might be signed up at BigSandwich.co because there's a bonus thing that goes up there every week. It might be a movie commentary. It might be a clickbait episode where we make fun of clickbait.

This year we're doing our time crapshaw. You mean this month? This today, right now, if you're listening to this time crapshaw, where we're covering the year 1977 in pop culture. That's right. A lot of stuff happened, Star Wars in particular. But it might be our biggest year yet that we talk about and make fun of stuff also.

Unless it's 2021, baby. Maybe that's going to be the biggest year yet. Could just be. Could just be. We did just wrap up Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Speaking of, we're not going to talk about it in this episode because we've got our last episode, which Colleen's edited, which is up right now.

It's all there, isn't it? Sure is, yeah. And all our final thoughts. I don't really have much to add other than, yeah, it was pretty good. Great. And, you know, we say other things in the video, but that's essentially all you need to know going into it. That's right.

Yeah. But, I mean, that's the comedic high mark. I agree. Obviously, just us saying some facts. So guess what's happening this week, though? I know. This is the news we're talking about. There's time codes, as always.

Okay. Sony have signed a deal with Netflix. All right. There's a new series coming your way, which I think you can definitely get behind. We'll see about that. We got some- What do you see about that, mate? We got some-

You don't know what I like. You like this. All right. We got some Batman v Superman news for some reason. Well, okay. I do like that. Shang-Chi trailer. Yeah, big time.

Guardians of the Galaxy news, Suicide Squad news, Flash news, Secret Invasion news, Thor news. And then we're going to launch into Mortal Kombat. That's right, a couple of special guests. That's right, with a couple of special guests who are on their way right now. I sure hope we don't forget to take a photo with them. Yeah, I know. Like we do literally every time with everybody.

That's right. Yeah. We should remind ourselves when we recorded that already. Don't you think? Yep, definitely. Anyway, let's get into it. It's too late, folks. We've missed it.

It's already done. But no, Mark and Naomi have swung by who came by for the video game episode. They've got a new show that we do talk about, which is now on Netflix worldwide. And it is a weird coincidence because when we got them last time. Yeah. The show came out. The show came out in Australia. Yeah.

And this time around it's coming out in. Same show. Same show coming out in the rest of the world on Netflix. That's right. We actually didn't know when we got this. Actually, when I said Comeback from Mortal Kombat, I had a rough idea it was around this time because they told me when the show was going to be released.

Well, then it's not that interesting. I appreciate how you let me get the whole thing out. No, you're welcome. Oh, there's possums at it again. I don't know if people heard that. But listen, Sony Mason, you might have seen this because we talked about it recently. They signed a deal with Netflix for their 2022 slate.

That means all their Spider-Man movies and everything goes there. Great deal for Netflix. Netflix is like, we love this. But then Disney went, hold your horses because we're about to beat you with a sack full of peanuts. Huh. Circus peanuts. Circus peanuts.

That's right, from the Dumbo reboot. And they get some left over. What they do is when you go to Disney World and maybe some loose peanuts fall out of your bag, they sweep them all into a corner, put them into a sack, and that sack is ready for beatings. You ever buy peanuts somewhere? I'm talking about the old ones you have to shell. Oh, no, never.

They come with a paper bag. No, no, no. Just be shelling them as you're going? No, not really. Okay, fair enough. Buy a cashew. Oh, sure. Look, we've definitely discussed peanuts versus cashew.

It's the better nut. Sure. I agree. But anyway, the 22 to 20. Do you know why there's so many cashews in a thing of mixed nuts, though? Why is that? Second cheapest. What's the better nut. I agree. But anyway, the 22 to 20. Do you know why there's so many cashews in a thing of mixed nuts though? Why is that? Second cheapest.

What's the cheapest? Peanuts. Yeah, that makes sense. But they're no almond. No, you're right. I like almonds. It's just a perfect confluence of bargain price. And great taste.

Deliciousness, yeah. So the films from 2022 to 2026. You ever consider being one of those guys? You know, like a shell and peanuts guy. You're just sitting on a stoop, shell and peanuts, and eating a peanut and chucking the shells on the ground like a monster. I need chewing tobacco and maybe a set of overalls. It's like a thing you get.

It's like you've got to get a few things. Did you tell me once you had tried chewing tobacco? I tried it once, yeah. How'd that go? Horrendous. And the guy's like, you've just got to pack it up into your Did you tell me once you had tried chewing tobacco? I tried it once, yeah. How'd that go? Horrendous. And the guy's like, you've just got to pack it up into your gum. And I'm like, no, this is bad. Why would anybody do this?

You've just got to force it in all your mouth crevices and you'll turn around. It was dreadful, like genuinely dreadful. I don't know why anybody would do it. Who was this guy? It was like a Norwegian. Norwegian? Yeah, Norwegian, yeah.

Like a dude from uni or whatever. Okay, yeah, they love it over there. Yeah, junk. Anyway, so that means that Disney Plus are getting their films from 22 to 26. So that means the Spider-Man series, Peter Rabbit, Angry Birds, Goosebumps, Bond, Jumanji. They're making big moves, Disney Plus.

It could very well by then, if not before, overtake Netflix. Yeah. It could very well happen. I mean, things change and whatever. Yeah, but they are doing sort of, you know, they're doing appointment TV, they're doing your Mandalorians, they're doing your Falcon and Winter Soldier, et cetera. Et cetera, yeah.

I can't think of a thing that has come out on Netflix recently where I'm like, got to get this this week. Bridgerton. No. A murder mystery about someone who was murdered and then the internet finds out who did it. Oh, internet murder mystery, friends. That's right.

What do you think? Yeah, pretty good. Yeah, but it's a documentary so, you know, that's good I guess. Yeah, so there you go. Big moves happening at Disney. They're just going to keep throwing money at this obviously. Sure. And also obviously. I. And also, obviously.

I mean, there's nothing better than a huge corporation just hurling money at things to destroy their competition. I agree. And then they'll just be Disney. That's what we do. We're going to love it. That's what we do to minor podcasts. We buy them up.

Sure, yeah. And then we just put our podcast in the feed. Oh, that'd be great. Well, we do. Oh, my God. We're going after all of them. THR News, Mason, The Hollywood Reporter. This is the big news you wanted to hear.

Vin Diesel has joined the Rock Them, Sock Them Robots movie. You heard about this? Look, I'm aware of the cultural phenomenon that is Rock Them, Sock Them Robots. Yeah, so have you ever done them? No, no. Yeah, they weren't really big here, were they? No.

I think any time I've ever seen one in the wild, i.e. like in a thrift store or something, it's broken. Yeah, 100%. I'm not entirely sure. They're electric, right? No. Not electric, but they're like mechanical. Yeah, you're mechanical and then the head pops up when.

When I said electric, I mean electric power, not like they will electrocute you. It's not like those video games that James Bond plays with an evil mastermind where he gets electrocuted. Absolutely. What if he did play rock them, sock them robots? Do you want to know a little bit about this? It seems, Mr Bond, I've rocked and socked your robots.

The action-adventure film is being written by Ryan Engle who wrote Rampage and the movie Nonstop, which is one of the Liam Neeson movies where he has to stop or start a train or plane. Sure, yeah. Whatever it is. And his family are kidnapped. Already dead?

The terrorists are like, it's your choice, man. You can either stop or start. If you see a train at stop, you want to start it? That's good enough, actually. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You see a plane, you want to stop the plane. That's cool. Yeah, yeah.

I mean, one would be much easier. You just need to make a decision, essentially. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, a plane, you want to stop the plane. That's cool. Yeah, yeah. I mean, mine would be much easier. You just need to make a decision, essentially. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, yeah. We need you to pull the trigger on something. We can't be stopped or we will be stopped. I can't remember. We're doing either.

And it will centre on. We just want you to have a go. That's what we're all about, you know? This is kind of like improv, but for old man action entertainment. Yes. You know what I mean? We're yes and terrorists. We're with you. Now We're yes and terrorists.

We're with you. Now we're on a plane. So, and it will centre on a father and son who form an unlikely bond with an advanced war machine. Isn't this Real Steel? It's the movie Real Steel. Yes. Which was also called like the rock them, sock them robot movie. All the time, yeah.

Have you seen that movie? No. It's all right, man. It's all right. It's Hugh Jackman and a boy and they're like, it's time, yeah. Have you seen that movie? No. It's all right, man. It's all right. It's you, Jackman, and a boy, and they're like, it's the future, and boxing has been replaced. It's no longer YouTubers boxing each other. It's robots boxing each other.

Can you imagine? I can't imagine that, actually. Because we love that first thing, don't we? Yeah. Do you watch that fight? Who cares? Let's not talk about it. Which fight?

What are we talking about? Jake Paul Ford, another guy, whatever. I did not see that. It doesn't matter. Don't even think about it. Don't think about our regret putting it this in zack snyder opened up about the original title for batman v superman dawn of justice which is fascinating because i had thought that batman v superman dawn of justice was just was was precisely zack snyder's bag like that title

but yeah sure it's come from come from brain pan. But apparently that was a big corporate decision. I've got a quote here. Go on. This is the lead up, okay. So I remember there was back and forth that I had with the studio. Batman v Superman, Dawn of Justice was the only title that Warner Brothers liked. The whole V thing instead of verses, it was like this crazy negotiation.

I was like, guys, can't we do something like Son of Sun or Night of Night or something a little bit more poetic? And they were like, absolutely not. I was like, is it a court case? Son of Sun, Night of Night. Oh, is Batman v Superman a court case? Yeah, I guess. Like Kramer v Kramer.

So what he's saying is the son of. Possum's gone berserk, mate. That's the thing. Like it's so... Jesse Eisenberg said something similar in that movie. Yeah, he says the god of Krypton versus the bat of Gotham. Yeah, or bat of night. I can't remember.

It's bat of Gotham. It's bad. Yeah, it's very bad. Anyway, those aren't good names. Bad, really bad. Son of son. Anyway, they didn't do that. For a while we talked about actually titling a Justice League subtitle

to suggest that this movie is going to be the beginning of Justice League, like Justice League Foundations or Justice League Rising. I think, though, for a movie like that, you have to go a versus or a V. Do you know what I mean? Unless it was Justice League Batman versus Superman. Okay. Like that's what's selling your film, isn't it? Yeah.

Yeah. So there you go. There's some news from. Okay, but what about Son of Sun versus Night of Nights? What if it was night? What about Batman, Superman, Hot Summer Nights? What about Batman v Superman? What was that?

What was that? Miami. What was the fucking Baywatch Miami or whatever it was? Batman v Superman Baywatch Nights. There we go. Whatever. Anyway, there's news from a long time ago. That's great.

I'm loving it. It keeps coming back, doesn't it? The Batman v Superman news. It's what started this show. That's right. And it's what will put us in our graves. What's going to be on our graves then? And it has to be Batman v Superman.

Can I be son of son? Yeah, no, that's cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Great. I mean, I'm assuming that the lines to come in and visit our graves will be so long that one, you'll only be able to visit one of us during the day. And then you've got to line up again. And then visit the other one at night.

So that would be perfect. Yeah, it would be, wouldn't it? Yeah. And plus they're going to need like a brief four-hour window for people to like clean the – because I'm assuming all the people visiting are defacing the – Yeah, absolutely. That's why they're lining up, yeah.

Did you watch the trailer? No, what are you going to – maybe a quote on your gravestone? What do you think of this? And I'm doing a crotch chop. What do you think? Is it an animated gif? No. Oh, it's chiseled in. Chiseled in. Oh, that's beautiful actually. What about you think of this? And I'm doing a crotch chop. What do you think? Is it an animated gif? No. Oh, it's chiseled in.

Chiseled in. Oh, that's beautiful actually. What about you? And I'm facing your grave. I don't know. What do you think of this? Wow. Yeah.

Maybe I'm just like, oh, that's rude actually. Not cool, man. I can't defend myself because I'm dead. Cool. All right, locked in. Let's do it. And the graves have to be facing each other. It's the only two in the whole thing that are facing each other.

Oh, and, all right, this is unrelated, but they have like laser tag, like those little mirrors on them. Yep. And then like a light gun's on the top. Okay, fine. So people can interact. Okay, I love that. Interactive.

It's beautiful. I love it. Interactive. It's beautiful. I love it. Did you watch the Shang-Chi trailer? I did. Legend of the Ten Rings. I did a trailer breakdown if you do want to check it out, get into some stuff. Oh, yeah.

What stood out for you? Was it the return of the Mandarin or the real Mandarin? It's Mandarin. That's great, yes. You know what stood out for me? What's that? Was obviously the Ten Rings are based on the ten, the Mandarin's ten rings. Yeah.

And in the comic books, they're on his fingies. Yes. But in this, they're on his wristies. I think it's a good move. Yeah. Because it's just the glove again, isn't it? It kind of is, isn't it? It's just a glove with different powers.

Well, that's the thing because so in the comic books, the origin of the rings, they're not magic as we've probably talked about before. They're alien technology from an alien race called the McLuans or the McLuans or something like that. The McLuans. But they are big dragon, they're dragon aliens. Yeah, yeah.

And they get trapped in some of them or something? Yeah, so the dragon, the Fin Fang Foom, who's a big green dragon with purple underpants, he's from that race. He's like the last survivor of that race. But it doesn't make sense that they would be wearing these rings, the technology, and then the man, they'd be flipping all about the place. They'd be very loose. Yeah.

So they'd be dragon-sized. Yeah, that kind of, I mean, maybe they won't go with this, but it does lead to the idea that maybe they are dragon-sized rings and he puts them to go on dragon fingies. He puts them around his wrists. I nearly put that in the video and I didn't, but I wish I did. Another thing I nearly put in the video but I didn't, that pendant that he's wearing around his neck,

there's another fighter in the tournament, a female, who has the same pendant. I think it's going to be like siblings or whatever. Oh, yeah, cool, cool. I think because Shang-Chi has a sister, though his father isn't the Mandarin. It's Fu Manchu. Fu Manchu, yeah. It's a whole thing.

I mentioned it in the video. That's very complicated because I think at the time. Good also. You can change that. That's fine. Oh, no. Yeah. There's a lot of things they're going to change.

Yeah, no. I mean. He's so yellow in that original comic. Yeah. My God. It's wild. Because I think, because Fu Manchu, we should stop saying it, but that character was from like a series of like pulp novels.

Yeah, he's not a Marvel character, is he? No, Marvel acquired the license and they were like, oh, just say he's the son of that character. And then I think they lost the license due to there's so much legal wrangling around that character. Around this thing that people want? Yes, that's right. Nobody wants that.

But, yeah, so in later versions of the comics they're like, ah, he's probably the Mandarin's kid or something. Okay, there you go. The other thing that I noticed, again, related to the Ten Rings, is that they don't, like you said, because if they did, you know, the standard tricks of the Mandarin's rings in the comic books, they'd just be Thanos' Infinity Gauntlet again. So it looks like in this they're just like force multiplier.

Concussive. Like you can punch through a table with them. Yeah, I think also it seems like they're just going to have the same colour because I think if he's shooting different colours, then that's again the thing. And, I mean, it is possible that they maybe will gain those powers later or something like that. I think they'll do other things.

I think they'll do more than one thing. I think they'll – he can throw a shield up. He can sing a song, whatever. They're doing some karaoke in this. He can make lightning. Yeah. He can make fire. He can make a campsite.

He can make it. Orienteering. He can make it sound – Archery. He can make it sound like you fart when you sit down. Oh, my God. Yes, please. So also, another thing that I didn't mention – One's dib, dib, dib. Yes. Oh, my God. Yes, please. So also, another thing I didn't mention.

One's dib, dib, dib. Yes. And one's dob, dob, dob. There's one thing. One of the guys on the bus, and I didn't realize this. I looked at him. I'm like, I know this guy. What's he from?

He's probably a backer. It's the do a flip guy. I can't believe I missed it. I'm so embarrassed. So that got pulled out to me in the comments. How did you know that you missed it? Because people told me in the comments. What?

Yes, Mason. People correct me on things, believe it or not. That's incredible. Have you never been corrected? Never once. Well, you've never been wrong, so why would you? Why would I have ever

been corrected? Yeah. It's true. So, yeah. What else is good in this trailer? Well, it's out in September, that we know.

Yep. It looks like it's going to be building towards some kind of fighting tournament. It's pretty information light. It is, isn't it? Which is good, I think. Yeah, but it seems to be that either he's been let loose in the world

or his father or he escaped and thinks he's, like, free. But his father's just been watching him the whole time. Yeah. Yeah. I thought it was a nice sort of subversion of, like, you know, even the Iron Man trailer where, like, you see a cool guy get out of a Ferrari or whatever and he throws the can. You expect that to be the guy,

but then he's, like, the valet. Yeah. That was fun. I liked it too. Yeah. It's pretty rude to throw your keys at someone. Isn't it, though? Yeah.

Do people do that? Can people write in? Not to me. Yeah. Can people write in if that's true? Oh, if you're a valet, yeah. Yeah. Or you used to be or you know somebody or whatever.

I'd love to know. If somebody throws their keys at you, what's the passive aggressive thing you do? Do you scrape their car? Do you drive it around Ferris Bueller style? What do you do? It's just rude. You can just say thank you and you can hand them the keys normally. Do you open the gas tank and put

a little bit of sugar in there and so the whole engine degrades eventually? Yeah, that's right. It's what I've heard. It's what you might have done. Yeah, yeah. You put a banana in the tailpipe, you Beverly Hills cop them. That wouldn't start at all though, would it? I have no idea what that does.

Yeah. I don't think it does anything. Doesn't it? I don't know. Well, the exhaust needs to go somewhere. Well, that's true. Maybe it goes into a banana. Do you put the banana in the tailpipe and then they're driving along

and they slowly suffocate in their car? How wide is that? Bit of fun. How wide is that banana? Because the tailpipe is like that. Yeah. You have to use like a potato. Yeah, that's what I would use.

Okay. I just think about it. Anyway, email in, guys. What kind of food did you use? Here's a question for you, James. What do you think about the martial arts in this? Because that's the point of this whole thing. Really good from what we've seen.

I wonder if there are, look, kind of more continuous shots in this movie, but it seems like they've maybe broken them up for purposes of this trailer. The trailer potentially, yeah. I mean, he clearly knows what he's doing, you know what I mean? Yes. And he looks good in the role and, yeah. But as we've said, you know, he exists in a world where everybody's doing martial arts all the time.

So he'd have to be like next level. Yeah. Yeah. I think there's some really interesting glimpses of spectacular shots in this. Like there's like a bamboo, like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon style kind of like very short sequence. There's some other bits and pieces that. Yeah, yeah.

You know, there's like a, because the guy, I talk about this video, but the guy who choreographed it did like Scott Pilgrim and a bunch of other really cool stuff. Oh, right, okay. And there's a Skyfall-esque, it's not just Skyfall, it's from a bunch of other stuff where they're in front of like a neon sign and you see like their silhouette in front of it. Oh, yeah, uh-huh.

It's not just from Skyfall, like a bunch of people have done it. But I think, yeah, I think it doesn't kind of have that washed out kind of grey kind of marble thing. I feel to me this trailer sort of went back and forth. I think there was, there are some great, because that's, again, that's a complaint that is often levelled at Marvel productions is they are all. And it's not all of them either.

Yeah. It's like some, yeah. I mean, it's certainly not, you know, Ragnarok. Yeah, exactly. Certainly escaped that side of Black Panther. But, I mean, when you're talking about like a, you know, a Captain America Civil War or something, you know, that sort of era, it's a lot of – they're filming on digital, which I don't know the technical specifics of it.

But you'll have a go. Here we are. You'll have a – here we go. Let's have a bloody go. I mean, I'm going to get it right. Yeah, it doesn't matter. So there's no need for anybody to correct. But as I understand it, the point of how digital –

the advantage of digital is the blacks aren't super black, like the coloration, like the color grading. Sure. So you can see all the detail. Yeah, right. And if you want to adjust it later. You can. You can, but a lot of the time for whatever reason they just don't.

Yeah. They're like, people want to see these details. So everything is sort of like kind of slightly too light. Yeah, okay, sure, yeah. There's not as much contrast. A bit of wash it out-ness. Seems a bit wash it out-ness. I think the Winter Soldier kind of started that.

Yeah. And then it kind of bled over in a lot of others. Yes. But not all. But in any way, in watching this trailer, I'm like, some of this is super colourful. But I think the scene on the bus, I'm like, this is a little washed out.

This is standard Marvel stuff. But I think also that's probably early on, so I'm hoping it gets kind of more fantastical as it leads towards the Mortal Kombat. And what's Awkwafina's deal in this? Maybe a love interest, but maybe a friend. Maybe just a pal. What about your mate, Ronnie Chang?

What's his deal? He seems like an obnoxious friend or whatever. Great hair. Great hair. He's killing it, man. Yeah, making waves. He was in Godzilla vs. Kong for 10 minutes. He was briefly. Great hair. Great hair. Yeah. He's killing it, man. Yeah, making waves. He was in Godzilla vs. Kong for 10 minutes. He was briefly.

Great. Yeah, good on him, mate. He's got a good Netflix special. I'll talk about it in the video. Yeah. You've probably seen that. I've seen it. It's really good.

Speaking of Marvel, Mason. Go on. Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas special, which has a release date of Christmas of 2022. James Gunn has confirmed that the film will take place after Thor Love and Thunder, but before the third Guardians film, which makes sense because that's probably when that comes out. Okay.

Speaking of. This is the first I'm hearing of this. There you go. Didn't you know? Yeah, it was announced in a thing. Okay, great. We may have talked about it. But speaking of Thor, Love and Thunder.

Yes. Little known New Zealand musician, Russell Rock, is going to be taking on a role. Did you hear about this? Rusty Crow? Yes. The man himself, the greatest actor in the world. Yeah, so Russell Crow, he called into a radio station.

He said, I'm going to get on my bicycle and I'm going to ride up to Disney Fox Studios, said Crow to Australian radio station Joy 94.9. At 9.15 I shall be Zeus. It's for Thor. It's my last day of Zeus-ing about and I'm going to enjoy it. Wow. Okay. So I don't know if that was a secret or not, but it's out now.

So who's Zeus in the Marvel universe? I don't really know. Yeah, I know, right? I mean, because, you know, a lot of these sort of old school god pantheons, it's just like a rebrand of another, like the Greek gods and the different kinds of gods, other gods. Roman? Yeah, Roman gods.

Nordic. They're just rebranded of the other team. And anybody can use them and whatever. That's why they're in this as well, yeah. But how does that work in the Marvel Universe? Because obviously there's Hercules. Yeah. Maybe we'll see the arrival of Hercules.

Obviously there's Hercules. Is there Hercules in Marvel? Yeah, Hercules. When did he come in? In a movie? No, no, just in comics. Oh, okay, right, yeah, yeah. He's been in the Avengers.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't know that. He's got a beard. Sometimes. Usually. And has he got the head thing? He doesn't have a headband. Or am I thinking of the DC one?

No, he has a headband. Okay, yeah. So, yeah, I guess, and this isn't really a surprise, but I guess all the pantheons of gods exist simultaneously. Sure. So maybe we're going to have a war between gods or maybe they're all pals and they hang out at some sort of multidimensional. If he's having fun, is he loosey-gooseying it a bit?

Oh, maybe. Because he's not like in his like Superman shape, you know what I mean? Right, yeah. He's cutting a bit loose at the moment, so do you think he's going to be a bit kind of- I'm picturing him at some sort of big feast. That's what I'm talking about, yeah. Big long table, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like a Loki as Odin kind of thing.

Yeah, maybe. I don't know. Cool. Russell O'Rourke making a go of it. Does that mean we get- Who else is in the Greek pantheon? Athena? Sure.

The guy with fast feet? Yep. I'm trying to think of all the people I killed in this. Hermes? Yeah. I'm trying to think of all the people I killed. Hermes? Yeah. I'm trying to think of all the people I killed in the God of War series. But he crossed pantheons as well. Yeah.

He's killed all of them. What about, exactly, what about the one, Wax Wings? I don't know if he's a god, but yes. Icarus? Oh, no, because he stole them, didn't he? He made them. He made them. You think he's Prometheus? Yes, I am. Which one's Icarus? Oh, no, because he stole them, didn't he? He made them. He made them. You think he's Prometheus?

Yes, I am. Which one's Icarus? That's the wax wings guy. So Prometheus is which one then? Prometheus is the guy who stole fire from the gods. Yes. And then he was. He's pecked out.

His organs are pecked out or whatever. Or they made him. I think he's the one. Hephaestus. There's one. Ah, yeah. He's the god of blacksmith. They've already got a blacksmith, though.

It's Peter Dinklage. There's room for one more. There's room for one more. Two blacksmiths. Prometheus, I think, was sentenced to continually push a boulder up a mountain and then at the end of the day he drops the boulder and it goes back down the mountain. Why doesn't he just put a rock under it at the top and wedge it in there?

Yes. That's what I would do. Or it's the IPEC thing. I'm not sure. Cool. That's great. Either way, I wouldn't bloody do it for quids, I tell you that much. I don't think he's choosing to do it, right, though?

No, he is, yeah. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Does he get paid? Yeah, like $60 an hour. That's pretty good. Right? Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. And again, they just let him. That's incredible. I mean, you know, I wouldn't want to be him during his quarterly evaluation or whatever. They'd be like, hey, we noticed you actually haven't gotten the boulder off the mountain at all. Yeah.

But you'd be like, well, it's up there, so what do you want? It's one of those busy, like what am I doing it for? It's up there. Isn't that what you wanted? Interesting. My family used to be blacksmiths. Did you know that? Why would you?

Not like immediately, but like it's a dying art. So you don't really need one anymore. That's why there's only Peter Dinklage. Not many people doing it. Would you get back into it? Would I get back into it? Yeah, yeah. Why?

And no. Horseshoes. For me? Yeah. Yeah, for you. I don't like horses. I've talked about this. Okay.

So I'm not helping them put things on their feet, am I? A sword. Yeah, it'd be pretty cool. I could just watch a YouTube channel of a guy making a sword. Yeah, but making your own sword, can you imagine? No, I don't want to. Do you want to make a sword? Yes.

All right, I'll get back to them. I want one of those wibbly wobbly ones. You know those ones? Yeah, like a sneaky kind of one. Yes. Yeah, okay, fine. I'll make you a sword. Thanks, man.

Can't wait for this. You want some Suicide Squad news? Yes. Speaking of James Gunn, they've locked the release. Okay, or before. Okay. Okay. Or one of those ones that's like the fencing sword,

but it's got the big basket. Oh, I love that. They're good, aren't they? Around the, and you can be like. Yeah. A rapier? Yes. Cutlass.

Maybe a cutlass. Cutlass would be good, wouldn't it? Yeah, the cutlass would be better. Anyway, dealer's choice. I'm very happy to wait. How about Nothing? Is that interesting? No, I'd prefer something. So Suicide Squad is locked

for August 6th. Or you could be a guy who makes a pizza oven. Oh yeah, there's too many of those. You could be a sword guy or a pizza oven guy. I'm about that age, I know. I'm a dad making a pizza oven on YouTube that then I never use. Yes. Yeah, great. Yeah, I'm about that age, I know. I'm a dad making a pizza oven on YouTube that then I never use. Yes. Yeah, great.

Yeah. Sorry, continue. No, I'm just thinking about all the guys who I know have pizza ovens in their backyard. But not a one of them has a sword smelting forge, do they? No, they don't. So Suicide Squad. Okay, guys, everyone, what we do, we've got some parts on the table here.

You want to get a plate and you put all the parts you want on the plate and then go up to the forge and then we'll forge you a sword. It's essentially to make your own kind of situation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I get to the end and I'm like, oh, there's no basket. There's no fancy baskets left. I'm going to have to make a broadsword. Boo.

Boo. The most boring of swords. It's too heavy. Yeah. It's too heavy. We. It's too heavy. We love those YouTube, people don't know, but we love those YouTube sword guys. Yeah, because...

They're always feuding on YouTube. They're always feuding, different YouTube sword guys. Yeah, that's a little secret. That's a pink bar because every now and then you'll send me like a thumbnail of like a guy criticising another guy's sword making abilities. Yeah. I'm like, oh man, I'm so into this.

Yeah. It's a whole... Every genre is like a whole world and community. It's incredible. So anyway, Suicide Squad is not moving up, but it's locked. It's done. The VFX are done. James Gunn said it's not moving up because it's going to allow

the most people to see it. Also, there's no reshoots. It's done. Wow. He also said people are being a little. Yeah, go ahead. I was going to say he's optimistic with how many people are going to die. So I think he's going to murder a lot of people.

I also feel like maybe, again, I would have faith that James Gunn is going to make the movie he's going to make. Yeah. I imagine that was probably, at this point, I would imagine that's built into his contract. Like, I'm going to do this and just let me do my thing. Definitely. Because I've made successful movies and people like them,

so just get off my back a little bit. And look, if we're honest Warner Brothers, you also are. You've had some stumbles. Yeah. But I wonder if directors now are being encouraged to say, this is 100% my movie. Oh, yeah, okay. There's nothing I've needed to take out. There's nothing I've needed I want to add but they wouldn't let me do. This is 100% my movie. Oh, yeah, okay. There's nothing I've needed to take out.

There's nothing I want to add but they wouldn't let me do. This is 100% my movie. This is definitely the James Gunn cut. Yeah. So there's no need for any director's cuts or any future campaigns. Until it comes out. Yeah, yeah. Well, actually.

Actually, I know. They'd maybe take out 45 minutes. I wanted to have the whole thing run backwards but they wouldn't let me. And sure, you could do that at home. Yeah. But I would prefer you demand that they do the whole thing run backwards, but they wouldn't let me. And sure, you could do that at home, but I would prefer you demand that they do the whole movie runs backwards cut. That's interesting. You know what? I think there's something to that.

Yeah, maybe. Speaking of DC, though. Go on. Michael Keaton, you might know from Batman. Mr. Mom. Mr. Mom. And Multiplicity. Yes.

And that Frosty the Snowman movie. And Birdman. And Birdman. Remember Birdman? I remember Birdman. I don't. And Multiplicity. Yes. And that Frosty the Snowman movie. And Birdman. And Birdman. Remember Birdman? I remember Birdman. I don't think I finished it. But that's okay. He turns into a bird at the end.

Does he? Yeah. Well, he's just called Birdman. Correct, yeah. Shouldn't he just be called Bird then if he turns into a bird? Spoilers though. Yeah, okay. What about Man Become Bird?

Wouldn't that make more sense? Birdman colon man become bird. He doesn't really turn into a bird. I want to see the evolution of man to bird. You know what it's like? Do you know what I mean? Anyway, Michael Keaton is confirmed for The Flash. It is happening.

Production is moving ahead. Can you believe it? Yes. Yeah. It's been a long time coming. It's the gambit of the DC universe. My God. And so November 2022, everybody's on board.

It's just they're making it. Good on them. Another last bit of news is, because remember he wasn't going to do it maybe because of COVID or whatever we talked about. That's right, yeah. So Emilia Clarke also is joining Secret Invasion. Yes. The series.

And in talks is also Olivia Colman for that. The Oscar winner Olivia Colman for many things. Yeah, that's right. I think it was for that or it might have been for a different Marvel series. Let me check. Secret Invasion also. Yeah. Yeah, there you go.

So there you go. That's exciting. I think that's good news. They're really just bashing all out. And folks, that's the good also. Yeah, there you go. So there you go. That's exciting. I think that's good news. They're really just bashing all out. And, folks, that's the good news. And did you see this week Dave Bautista was like, they're like, would you do a Drax Disney Plus series? And he's like, no, I would not.

But he didn't. He also said recently, I think it was this week, he said that he wants to be Bane. Yeah, let him be Bane. If they're going to do Bane again, he'd be perfect. Yeah. Should we mention, I want to talk to you about the piracy ad that I saw before watching Mortal Kombat,

before Mark and Naomi entered the room. That's right. They're outside, they're scratching at the door. That's right. They're baying at the moon. So you've seen this, and it just kind of blew my mind, and it was really short. It was a man about our age, and he's in a police station.

He's talking to two plainclothes police officers. Now this is for people who – This is an Australian piracy ad. This is an Australian piracy ad. People will remember previous very famous piracy ads. You wouldn't download a car. You wouldn't download a purse. So why would you download a movie?

Maybe because it's a different thing. Yeah, maybe. Maybe that's a false equivalence is what you're saying, right? Yeah, maybe I Maybe that's a false equivalence is what you're saying, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe I would download a car the way I could download a car as I just like looked at the car. Yep. And then I had the car. And then you had the car.

And nobody could ever question where I got the car from. And the first person who had the car, they kept their car. Maybe that car belonged to Rupert Murdoch. Yeah, that's right. That's right. And I just swiped it from him. Yeah, maybe. I don't know.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, so swiped it from it. Yeah, maybe. I don't know. Yeah, yeah. Anyway, it's an interview and the cop's like, oh, so the hackers got in and stole all your money, did they? Oh, and because you were trying to steal a movie, was it worth it just for one movie? Sorry, mate. Can't help you. I'm like, what

the fuck kind of fictional fucking scenario is this? I love it. So, first of all, like. They weren't going to help anyway. They weren't going to help him. But also like, again, if this happened, which it's never happened to anybody, because you could go through like,

you could do it pretty safely if you wanted to, using a VPN or whatever, various antivirus software. But like the fact that they would steal all of your data and banking details from downloading a movie and then you go in and go my account has been wiped out i have nothing and the cops are just like no sorry you you stole a movie and now you've lost everything you have also and no also you go to the cops so you just go, call your bank. Call your bank. Call your bank. Exactly. I'm like, that's incredible. Who's falling for that shit? Anyway,

let's do some ads and then we'll, and then Mark and Naomi can come in, don't you think? Yeah. Should we let them do the ads? They love doing ads. No, no, we'll do them without them because we don't want them to get any of the money. That's how I'd money, John, right? Good stuff. Yeah, they get TV money. That's right.

I want you to picture a tiny apartment in Southern California. Done it. Good, excellent. Now I want you to picture two college dropouts. And I want you to picture them teaming up. In that small apartment I'm in. Yeah, that's right. They're living together.

It's so small though. Yeah. It's like the size of a shoebox. Yeah. They're also very small men. That's cool. But about to break it big at big business. Oh, wow.

Yeah. But big business to them? Like to them it's big business. Regular big business. it big at big business. Oh, wow. Yeah. But big business to them? Like to them it's big business. Regular big business. Okay, cool, great. Yeah, yeah. Damn, they're good. I know.

So they teamed up to create a watch company that broke all the rules with fair prices, unexpected colors, and clean original designs. Movement grew into one of the fastest growing watch brands, shipping to over 160 countries around the globe. Can you believe it? I can believe it. Yeah, you know it. And good on them because they were like,

we could make just tiny little watches for our tiny little wrists. They were like, we'll make regular-sized watches. For everyone. For everyone. That's right. Now, movement has expanded into blue light. Not everyone's a freak like us. Now, movement have expanded into blue light glasses

that protect your eyes from your screens, minimalist jewelry, and more essentials that don't break the bank, all designed out of their California regular-sized headquarters. That's right. That's pretty cool. What are you into at the moment? A style maybe that you enjoy? I love their arc automatic.

It's a bloody love an automatic. Yep. You don't have to wind it. You just put it on your wrist, give it a little shake to go through your day. It winds itself. As long as you're moving, moving about, it's not a problem, isn't it? Yeah, as long as you've got a bit of movement on your side. Oh, that's very good.

That's good. And also- High quality materials. I was going to say, because movement watches have the look and quality of a $400 to $500 watch that you'd pay at a department store like a moron. But it costs a fraction of that because they were built online and they own the process from start to finish. So you get a beautiful watch shipped right to your door for free. And if you don't love it, you can ship it right back. Guess what? Also for free.

Also, blue light glasses, I'm literally wearing them right now. That's true, you are. I wear them every night.

And those two college dropouts, they sit in their shoebox. They've got one lens each. Yeah. They look at a little iPhone, which is their big screen TV. That's right, exactly. And they can go right to sleep. They're having a great time. In some socks.

Genuinely, though, when I wear these at night, I actually feel like I'm ready for bed when I'm done with work. No word of a lie. It's great. And when I don't wear them, I'm like, God damn it, now my brain's going to, like, take a bit longer to wind down. Head on the pillow, I'm out, mate. Nice.

I love it when things arrive and I go, I bought this and this is good value. Oh my God, it's so good, isn't it? It's like Christmas every day. It is, isn't it?

That's right. All right. On with the show? Yes. All right. We'll do it. What I like about ExpressVPN, and I'm happy to say it, you don't mind me saying it, Mason. I don't think I could stop you saying it, James. And why would you, quite frankly? Because it lets you change your online location

so you can control where you want sites to think you're located. Not where I am. That's right, exactly. Body trick them. You open up the app, you select your location, you tap one button to connect and refresh the page to access thousands of new shows slash movies. That is great for entertainment purposes.

It's great for security, but it's also just fun to trick people. Exactly. You can also choose from 100 different countries, which means your options are nearly limitless. They are limited, but they're so vast, they feel limitless. Do you know what I mean? Like the movie Limitless. Yes. Which you could probably watch, no doubt. For example, I'll give you some examples.

You could watch the studio Ghibli films on UK Netflix. You could watch anime on Japanese Netflix. You could watch Doctor Who on UK Netflix. There's a whole bunch of examples that we were talking about. What about these ones? You could watch Home and Away on Australian some sort of app. That's right. You wouldn't.

No. Not now. Neighbours. Not that Charlie Clawson has left, but do you know what I mean? You could on some of his seasons. So Star Trek Discovery on UK Netflix, Brooklyn Nine-Nine on Canada Netflix, Rick and Morty on France Netflix, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air on Australian Netflix, How I Met Your Mother on Germany Netflix, and Blackadder on UK Netflix,

to name a few. That's right. Have a hunt around. See what's good. See what goes. Fast forward on Australian some app. Exactly. Some app probably.

Some website or something. That's right. A comedy company. Yeah, don't, but you could. So this also works with any streaming service, not just Netflix. So Hulu, BBC iPlayer, even YouTube, a lot of stuff is region locked. That's right. Have a bit of a poke around.

Watch The Bill. What's Reg up to? It's The Bill. Yeah. That's a character some people know. Goodbye. More show. There's definitely more show.

Now, Mason, we're here to talk about one thing and one thing only. Go on. The movie Mortal Kombat 2021. Oh, my God. It's a rich heritage of colours and flavours over the decades of Mortal Kombat content with a K. But this week we're joined by a couple of recurring guests, big gamer people.

No, I was trying to think of a better way to say that. Your eye twitched when you were saying that. It was very funny. Content creators with a K. With a K. Start at both words. Let's not add a third, please And thank you

It's me, Mark Bonanno, everyone That's right Along with Naomi Higgins Now you guys came on recently to talk about a different thing Which was, I've forgotten already Video game stuff as well I'm sure

Yeah, remember it was It was video game movies It was video game movies, yeah Oh, adaptations or something. And Last of Us was announced. That's right. As a series. And by sheer coincidence, at the time, Naomi and Mark,

your show Why You Like This was on ABC iView. So true. But now, by an even bigger coincidence, it's now available on Netflix. I can't believe the timing of this. It's lining up so perfectly. So just to clarify, this is the same, it's not a different show, is it? No, it's the same show. I can see how you're confused.

It's the same show. It's just before it wasn't available outside of Australia and now it is on Netflix, yes, in the UK. My goodness. Everywhere except Australia. Which is great. If you have Netflix. It's everyone in Australia being like, why can't I watch the show?

I know. It's a never-ending nightmare for us. Absolutely. But if you live anywhere other than Australia and you have Netflix, you can watch the show on Netflix. Is there a hashtag people can hashtag if they're like, I love this show, Netflix, and I want to see this every day for the rest of my life?

What would somebody hashtag or at? Who would they at? Hashtag why you like this, which is the title of the show. Perfect. That's what Naomi checks on Twitter every day. Yes. And then you can also just tag Netflix. I would just tag Netflix, scream at them.

Should people take a clip and put it on Twitter to be like, this is my favourite moment from the show and put it up? Yeah, put it on TikTok. Yeah, that's what I'm viral. Tal, if you know someone famous, call them at gunpoint and say tweet about this show right now. And if they don't, hold them accountable. Perfect.

Do you mean shoot them in the head? I didn't say that. When you search the hashtag why you like this or just the words why you like this, it's not solely your show though. I've been trawled through a lot of shit. But it's worth it to see what people are saying about me. Do you understand?

Oh, yeah, absolutely. How is that? Because you guys both have shows. How is it when people are like talking about you a lot on the internet about a thing that's – because you don't just get people who are coming to you specifically who like you. Anybody can see it. Oh, I would like to shout out to one of your listeners.

Let's do it. I can't remember his name, Rod or Roy. Okay, Rod or Roy. Oh, Rod Roy. Yep, Roddy Roy. Rod Roy. Roddy Roy. Very loyal listener who went on the trailer of our show

and talked about how he had to turn this podcast off when I was on it because I was so annoying. So shout out to Rod Roy. Rod or Roy. We love your work. Rowdy or Roddy Roy, there he is. He's the work. Rowdy, Roddy Roy. There he is. Rowdy, Roddy Roy. Oh, my God.

We should have let you guys know before you came on the first time. Our listeners hate guests. They hate them. Yeah. Right. They hate it when they hear anybody other than us. And add on top of that, a woman. Which is some of the feedback on Twitter as well.

But mostly it is very nice. That's good to hear, yeah. I'm sorry about that. And Rod or Roy, what are you doing at Stop What You're Doing? Because we don't appreciate it here at whatever this is called, Dewey Mason. I mean, it makes great content, though. It certainly does, yeah.

I thought it was mostly positive feedback. I saw, like, all positive. Yeah, that's the stuff I was retweeting. But, yeah, it is mostly, overwhelmingly, it is very, very positive, which is really nice. Cool, cool. But, yeah, it is mostly, overwhelmingly it is very, very positive, which is really nice. Cool, cool. But some people being like, these characters are so mean.

I find it hard to watch. That's why I like it. I forgot that we did that on purpose and that some people might actually just not want to watch. But it's the same as Always Sunny, which, again, was a reference for the show because sometimes I talk to people and it's like all they do is scream at each other. And I'm like, yeah, it's funny.

That's what? It's funny. Also, they don't just scream at each other. And I'm like, yeah, it's funny. That's what? It's funny. Also, they don't just scream at each other. They go on boat rides and stuff as well. While they're screaming at each other. While they're screaming at each other. Sometimes they talk. But, you know, that's only sometimes.

I don't know. I like the show. I like it too. Why You Like Me. Hashtag it. Watch it. Why You Like Me. It's on Netflix.

Check it out. Say nice things. He hasn't picked up on it yet. Even if you hate it. That's right. Sorry. Even if you hate it. Sorry. Even if you hate it, which you won't, just say a nice thing anyway. You know what I mean?

I think it's nice and friendly. Absolutely. Yeah. And the name of the show, Why Are You Like This? There we go. He got it right that time. I'm getting confused with the Josh Thomas one. Please like me.

Thank you. Yeah, which people do. I was going to say there's also the Naomi Higgins and Mark Bonanno show, but that's unrelated. Yeah, we hate those two. They're our enemies. So you guys have landed hot and fresh out of the cinemas seeing Mortal Kombat 2021.

We just walked out. We're recording this a little bit early, so we don't have any numbers in terms of box office or whether HBO is like, this is the biggest movie we've ever seen or whatever. How do you think this is going to be received by people in general? I know you have thoughts, Mason. Well, my feeling is that people are not going to watch it or they're going to come out of it and they're going to go,

it's not as good as the other one, like the one from the 90s. There's another one. Oh, yeah. There's two other ones. There's two previous movies. I'm just here for fun. Okay, great. I think they're going to be like, oh, it wasn't as good as the one from the 90s,

but they're going to be comparing it to the one they remember from the 90s. The nostalgia. Not the one that they've actually seen. Like they probably haven't seen it recently. Yeah. Or they're just like, oh, remember I was a kid and I saw the last one. Oh, my God, it was so fun. But I think they're not going to promote it to other people or tell people about it because they're going to be like, it's not as fun as the last one. I'm going to go, it was so fun. But I think they're not going to promote it to other people

or tell people about it because they're going to be like, it's not as fun as the other one. Yeah, that's when I try and get Mark to watch like an old movie with me, like a teen movie or something from my childhood. And then I'll be like, ha-ha, this is funny, we'll put it on. And then, you know, some bad stuff starts happening and Mark goes, huh, so this is what you stand for, huh? These are your core values now.

Put them in your dick in a pie. No, no, no, no. No, I stand by that one. But I think it is better. But is it good? That is a great question. Look, I think if you like Mortal Kombat, we'll go non-spoilers and we'll do some spoilers later

for those big Mortal Kombat heads out there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think it's like exactly what you would think. Like people are shouting the things that they say in the games. They're doing the moves. There's all the characters that you're some of the characters that you know. It's a bit of a wink and a nod. Somebody gets pushed through a hat at one point.

Yes. There is some brutal R-rated moments in this movie and they went so far. They did. And those were my favourite bits. Yeah. Without question. Yeah. I think that's because that's why the games got famous in the first place

because it's like it's a pretty okay fighting game going back to it. It's fine. But people remember like it looked like real people getting sawn in half or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just that fantasy over-the-top violence. Yeah, exactly. And the movie has in half or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just that fantasy over-the-top violence. Yeah, exactly. And the movie has that in spades.

Just quickly, Mason, what did you think the story was? Oh, no. When Mason recounts the story. Okay, so there's a – This will be good for me too. Okay, there's some realms. There's some realms. There's Earthrealm and there's other realms.

Other realms. There's a bad realm called Outworld and they want to get Earth and so in order to get Earth, they've got to defeat Earth in Mortal Kombat. They've got to defeat them ten times but they only defeated them nine times and then they've got to be like, well, we've got to defeat. We've got one more Mortal Kombat coming up. We've got to get all the champions and we're going to do Mortal Kombat

and if we win the Mortal Kombat, watch out. Watch out, exactly. Then they can invade or whatever. If a bunch of single individuals can't stop us, then billions of people can't stop us for some reason. Yeah, that sounds right. The rules are important except you don't have to follow any rules. Except we break all of the rules to honour the one rule,

which is if you win Mortal Kombat, you get Earth. Whatever? You get whatever. But every rule, every other rule does not matter. Yeah, because there's a big emphasis on, like, cheating because the bad guy, Shang Tsung, is, like, he's killing all the fighters before a Mortal Kombat, which you're not allowed to do.

Yeah, that's a huge no-no. You can't do it. You've got to do it in a Mortal Kombat. You've got to do it in a Mortal Kombat. You've got to do it in a Mortal Kombat. So, like, have they won? This is my question. Yeah. Have they won every other Mortal Kombat?

Because by the time they get to Mortal Kombat, it's like, all right, out world, here we are. Where's Earth? Oh, there's no one here. They didn't turn up. Well, then we win. It seems that way. No, no, no, no, no.

They said they've been cheating every single one. Yeah, they did say they were cheating, yeah. But, no. They said they've been cheating every single one. Yeah, they did say they were cheating, yeah. But, okay. This coming from the patron of the film who asked to bring her Nintendo Switch and sat there with her Nintendo Switch. Didn't play it. I didn't play it. But you had it ready.

But it was on her phone the whole time. But I did scroll on my phone the whole time. I want to clarify, we asked for seats up the back corner so we wouldn't disturb anyone. And I did think the woman selling us tickets thought we were going to give each other hand jobs for that reason, but no one could see us at all. We didn't give hand jobs, but I did scroll on my phone a lot.

But I was just going to say if you kill someone, then you get their little birthmark anyway. Obviously, I guess if the Oddworld people. The Oddworld. One guy did look like Abe's Odyssey. Yeah. I'm right about that. Oh, the forearm guy?

The forearm guy looked like Abe's Odyssey. I thought he looked like something out of Warcraft. Yeah, not the best interpretation of Goro, I felt. No. I wasn't really happy with that, if I'm honest. No, I much prefer puppet. Yeah. I prefer big puppet. That might be nostalgia happy with that, if I'm honest. No, I much prefer Puppet. Yeah. I prefer Big Puppet.

There might be nostalgia talking because that Big Puppet's real wonky. It looks like it could tip over at any minute. That's the thrill. Yeah, that's the thrill of it. The thrill of Mortal Kombat. Yeah, at least he seems defeatable. But so, and Raiden's saying, I like this, by the way. It was Mortal Kombat.

It was exactly what I thought it would be. Yeah, so imagine that if you've never played Mortal Kombat because that's what I was walking into. But I could tell when they were doing fan service because it would be a normal movie and then, yeah, he'd put his hat on and be like, well, that's the tea, hunty. Or no, not that. But it's like, oh, okay, that's from the game.

Sashay away. You know how they talk in Mortal Kombat. You get it. Yeah, I get it. Well, I know I had a different experience because I went to my local cinema and ran into all the Sandspans boys over from Sandspans Radio. Of course.

What were they doing at it? Of course they were watching. Yeah, of course they were, opening night. And any time anything fan service-y happened on the screen. Well, when the movie started and Mortal Kombat came up on the screen, I went, that's Mortal Kombat. And I think that kind of set the tone. So every time anything happened on screen, we were like,

he did the thing with the spear. It's the spear guy. It's Kano. Look at him. He's there. Kano was there. It's good. That's true.

He was there, wasn't he? He was there so much. Well done. Australian TV's Josh Lawson. I wanted to ask you, because he turns up the Australian-ness to 100. Did that sit well with everybody here? Here we go. I just thought like I don't know why but I was like,

I need to swear that much. He was pretty rude, wasn't he? It was just like every line had like, oh, fuck you and fuck this. And I was like, yeah, I get it. Like I thought they could have just chilled out a little bit. There was enough character there that I didn't need to like, I don't know. I didn't mind it. You weren't really watching the movie though.

Okay, well, I watched his opening scene and I thought that his accent, it seemed like very Australian but it didn't seem like fake Australian. Yeah, I want to make it very clear, I had an issue with the writing, not with Josh Lawson. I thought he was fantastic. He did a great job. I think about maybe like 70% of his lines hit and then the rest I'm just like. Not quite, yeah.

Do we need to put in another joke, another Josh Lawson, another Kano little bit in there? Yeah. Like we could have transitioned to the next scene without him. Yeah, yeah. Guys, I don't know if you know this, but the general consensus is that Australians are funny. We are funny, yeah.

And crass. Yeah. We don't say anything. We're rude. But I don't know if I bought him as like, I thought he was a good parody of a tough guy, but it never struck me as an actual tough guy. Maybe that's just because I've seen him in other things

where he's definitively not that. Was he not ripped enough for you? Pretty ripped. Was he dehydrated enough? He didn't do that. He wasn't dehydrated enough. I agree with that. Do you think it's because he was acting tough on the outside,

but it's actually because he was really vulnerable on the inside and that's what you were seeing? Yeah, maybe. It might have been, actually, yeah. Because I actually really respect Josh Lawson. What I liked about – me too, I liked it in Superstore, then he disappeared, presumably to film this I think. He just disappears in that show.

I liked it when he got his laser eye, you know what I mean? Everybody got a magic power. Some people's, it seemed to somehow correlate to an injury that you have maybe or an item that you own. Does that happen at the time of the Mortal Kombat? You get a power? No. Or leading up to it.

No, that's all. They invented. It's like puberty. Oh, you mean in the game? Yeah. As is my understanding, they invented quite a lot of lore. Yeah, you just sort of, in Mortal Kombat, you just show up with your laser eye or you show up with your spear.

Or a gun. Or a gun. Somebody just has a gun. Oh, you know what? It's probably like in Twilight when Jacob only turns into a wolf. He has it in his blood but he only turns into a wolf because there are vampires nearby. It's probably like that but with a Mortal Kombat nearby.

Yeah. When there's a Mortal Kombat gearing up. Yeah. See, if Josh Lawson's character had gone to a different Chinese restaurant at a different time in his life and someone else upset him at the table, he would have got his laser eye then. Well, I think he only got the laser eye because he was scratched in the face and eye.

It's like Kano got metal arms because he had metal arms and then they went, your power was even more metal arms. Kano's hat, you know what I mean? It all seemed to be linked to whatever. And that girl had the, like, ripped up face. Oh, yeah. She had a big jaw. She had a big jaw.

I liked her jaw. Yeah, I think she's just a demon lady, right? So what happened to Goro? Did he have a benching accident at the gym or something? Is that what he said? He's just a monster. This is an outworld monster. I don't know.

The lore is very confused. I didn't love when Kano got his eye because I thought it was a little cheap. To me it felt like they wanted to have it like two ways. Like they wanted to be like, actually this is cool and grim and like everybody's effing and jeffing all about the place. And it's not, you know, it's not your video. This is real life but it's also like we're all going to go on an adventure and do some training and get our little arcana and get our little.

Yeah. I thought it felt very Power Rangers. It did. It felt very origin story and I didn't think it needed to be. Well, Liu Kang was a Power Ranger. He was in the recent Power Ranger movie. That'll do it. Okay.

The guy looked amazing, by the way, just me. Thought he had a good look. Good hair. The look Power Ranger movie. That'll do it. Okay. That guy looked amazing, by the way. Just me. I thought he had a good look. Good hair. The look of the film. Who? Costumes. The guy with the mullet. The guy with the mullet.

He could shoot fire. Yeah. He looked incredible. No. He doesn't, Mark. Sorry. No, I said at the start. It's in the guy who dies at the start.

No, no, no. The guy who did the big fire dragon. I was going to say I did think he was hot but that's not what you were talking about. Are you talking about the MMA guy? No, he's not Scorpion. No, the ancestor. Yeah, okay. The Scorpion one. I'm so sorry. One of my favourite lines.

That's fine. You've stepped into a minefield of law. Because not everybody listens for a steak trap. I'd rather step into a real minefield to be honest. Not everybody listening to this. For some people this is their first experience of Mortal Kombat, so it's good to ask these questions. That's good.

That's how I'm representing, you know, I'm the outsider coming in to the narrative of this podcast. It's like you're from Outworld. Or Eternia, the good version of Outworld. Or like a new character, Cole. He's new. He's not a new character. Yeah, Cole, the main guy.

The main guy's new. So apparently that was a mandate from the studio to have a character like a Naomi to come in and be like, what the fuck is happening? Yeah. And then people explain it. But they were all like that. They were kind of all like that. They were all that.

I mean, Sonya and Jax had stuck a bunch of pictures on the wall. Yeah. So they knew a bit about it, I think. Yeah. You heaps. Yeah, they knew a bit. And it didn't seem like, I mean, I know all the bits and pieces. It didn't seem like the information was that difficult to obtain for them.

I don't know. That's just me. I know there was a lot of pictures on there, but it's like, we've been working on this for like a week. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now we know. I couldn't believe what we've seen. Was that reptile reptile?

I guess. Or was it a different reptile? I think it was reptile because he had the powers of reptile. Yeah, but aren't they like a people? Like a race? Oh, you mean, do you mean was it the reptile or merely a reptile? He didn't get like another tattoo is what I'm saying. Yeah, that was just a monster.

I don't know. I went to the toilet at one point. Okay, how was it? And when I came, it was a very nice bathroom, Hoyt Stocklands. Oh, really? My goodness. Very clean. The best cinema.

It's because no one goes there. It's incredible. It's incredible. They cleaned it once and they've never had to clean it again. Well, they will after you. Yeah, and then when I came back, kind of like a Mad Max-ish Predator-looking figure was talking to Kano. Oh, that's

Cabal. Cabal, yeah. And Naga's like, what happened? Going for Hammer? No, that's Mr. Hammer. Oh, Cabal's got the... He's like, hey, I'm from New York. Look at what you did to me, Kano. I was like, what is this accent? Why does he look like Predator?

What is happening? Because I know I believe I've played that character in the game, but I thought they were a robot. Are they not a robot in this? You might be thinking of Cyrax. I'm probably thinking of Cyrax. And Naomi's thinking of Sektor. But they smoke and disappear as well, don't they?

I can't remember. He's not a robot. He's a man. He's a man. He might be from Mortal Kombat Trilogy, I want to say, but I don't know. That was the only character that fully, but that's because I went to the toilet. I didn't see their introduction. He's friends with Striker, the cop.

Or he was friends with Striker. They used to be on the same SWAT team. Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If that's a joke, I don't get it. Is it a joke, Mason? It's not a joke. That's very serious.

He smiled like it was a joke. I just smiled because of my deep knowledge a joke, Mason? It's not a joke. That's very serious. You smiled like it was a joke. I just smiled because of my deep knowledge of Mortal Kombat. You're just happy with yourself. I've done it again, baby. That's right. We should just do spoilers at this point, right? Yeah, we should probably do spoilers. Do you consider it the best movie ever or the worst movie ever? That's what you have to say. It's one or the other. It's one or the other.

Really? There's nothing in between. It's our rating system. That's the internet. There is no middle the other. Really? There's no in-between? It's our rating system. It's a little bit of a weekly plan of thought. There is no middle ground. Because I'm still confused as to whether you guys liked it or not. I liked it. I didn't think it was good. I thought it was a bad movie that I enjoyed. I liked it, but it's Mortal Kombat.

Yeah. So it's exactly what I thought it would be. Yeah. It was for you. Well, I guess. But I'm not like a huge Mortal Kombat fan, so if it was bad, I'm like, I don't care. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean?

I loved all the Mortal Kombat elements. I loved the fighting. I loved the costumes. I thought the movie, the plot, and the story was dreadful. Like a Mortal Kombat. Like a Mortal Kombat. And also, they didn't do Mortal Kombat. No, they didn't.

That was my biggest fright. Spoilers, guys. Oh, sorry. Spoilers. I'm going to say best movie ever. I enjoyed Josh Lawson in it. I thought it was worth the 20 bucks just to see Josh Lawson. Yeah, totally.

Yeah, he was great. Just mucking about. What did you think, Nums? I would say worst movie ever, but on the positive, I did get to fill out some admin that I was avoiding. Really interesting. Yeah.

That's good stuff. It was a written interview and I forgot to answer the questions and I thought now's the perfect time. Now's the perfect time to shoot a video. As I was watching that girl's head get cut in half by a hat, I said this is it. She had bat wings. She had bat wings.

That was crazy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A lot of crazy stuff going on. Yeah, she looked really cool, so I started watching. And then, of course, she gets cut in half by a hat. Was she new for the movie? I didn't recognise her. No, she was from Deadly Alliance maybe.

Yeah. I think a lot of the fights could have been. Does Mortal Kombat have teams? Yeah, like bad teams. I've never played Mortal Kombat. I played Tekken 3. Oh, yeah, right. I'm a Tekken girl. Sure. Do you like the guy who's got a

leopard head or whatever? Is that Tekken? That's King. Do you like that one? No, I just don't like as Tom Walker plays Tekken 7 now on Twitch and he plays King. Fuck Tom Walker. Yeah, yeah. Fuck that guy. Yeah, he's awful. I liked to play

well, the girls, I could never remember their names because I was very young when I played it, but also that little dinosaur that farts. That was my favourite. Waiting for that Tekken movie, I'd imagine. Just gear it up for it. Oh, I'm so excited. I know it is happening.

I know it exists and I'm excited for it. Is it? No, I thought you were. I've got no idea. I thought you were announcing it to me. That's right. It's an exclusive to this show. Here's something that might be controversial if you love Mortal Kombat.

I thought Shang Tsung, the main bad guy, was a little weak. I thought the original guy who played him in 95 on, he's real like big and he's over the top and he's like screaming about Mortal Kombat. Yeah. This guy's a little low key. Yeah, I would agree with that. Is that the eye glowy guy?

Yeah, the eye glowy guy. No, you're thinking of Raiden. You're thinking of Raiden. You're thinking of Raiden. No, they both because he's got the black. He's got the black eyes. He's got the black glowy eyes. So, yes, I'm with you.

No, you're right. I thought they were both. I'm not with me. I thought they were both. I think for those characters who are the ones at the top, I think you needed something a little over the top. You know what I mean? Like really melodramatic.

Yeah. Because I do agree they got that a bit better in the first movie. Again, the first movie is not good. The first one that was ever made. And the second one's even worse. But yeah, I think you just needed you needed some camp.

You needed some, you know. If you're surrounded by like lunatics with different powers and hammers and wings, you've got to bring it up a bit. You know what I mean? It's not enough just to be like, it's time for Mortal Kombat, everybody. Get ready. Because Scorpion and Sub-Zero nailed it. That was great.

Yeah, nailed it, in my opinion. I also agree with that. But you were saying, Mark, earlier they didn't even get to Mortal Kombat. If we're in the spoiler part of this review. Yeah, they're like, all right, guys, now we have to gear up and get ready for the Mortal Kombat. And I look up and then the credits start rolling. It's like, all right, guys, now we have to gear up and get ready for the Mortal Kombat. And I look up and then the credits start rolling. It's like, what the fuck?

And it's like, I see what they're doing there. Yeah, they're trying to make more money. But they tried to do Mortal Kombat without doing Mortal Kombat because essentially what we saw was Mortal Kombat. Yeah, you're 100% right. They were literally in like a gladiator arena. I was like, oh, this is the Mortal Kombat. Yeah.

No. No, it's not. I was like, oh, this is the Mortal Kombat. Yeah. No. No, it's not. It was the cheating so that then one team could win the Mortal Kombat, which now this is my biggest thing in the story, right? Yeah, sure. This is my biggest thing is who is above these two people that decides who wins Mortal Kombat? I agree.

Raiden's dad. It turned out in Mortal Kombat Annihilation. Right. I agree. The Elder Gods. But they're not there. They're not hanging out in Mortal Kombat Annihilation. Right. I agree. The Elder Gods. But they're not there. They're not hanging out. No, they don't talk about them.

He's cheating and Raiden's like, don't cheat. And he's like, well, I am. And Raiden's not like, he's like, and then Raiden's like, well, I can't interfere. You could tell someone. Yeah. And also you can't interfere. Call the cops.

The other guy's interfering. Why can't you interfere? Interfere. You can tell the teacher and don't be scared if someone threatens you. Just call Mortal Kombat. Just call it because it's happening. Like who calls it? Who makes the decision?

I thought you were saying, hello, Mortal Kombat. Someone's breaking the rules. Go to a safety house zone and tell the person in there that they're breaking the rules of Mortal Kombat. What I thought was very odd is, not Kano, Jax gets his arms frozen and exploded and then he gets his arms back and he's like, all right, everybody, we're going to pair off and we're going to fight different people.

It's not Mortal Kombat but we're all going to do some fighting. And Kano goes, well, I'm going to go and fight the guy with the hammer because I've got beef with that guy. You don't have beef with the guy that exploded your arms? Isn't that the guy that you want to go after? That's the beef. Just the guy who turned up and went, how nice arms you suck or whatever.

Come on, man. And is Jax's Mortal Kombat power technology? Because that was my, I was like. Is that the main guy? No, the guy who had the small. We'll get to the main guy now. Which one's Jax? I told you you should have watched the to the main guy Naomi. Which one's Jack? I told you you should have watched the movie. I said please watch

the movie. And I told you I'm not going to. The robot arms. Oh yeah, yeah, that guy. I just want to be clear to the listeners. People may be upset that Naomi did not watch the movie but I think there needs to be a perspective of somebody who's like I didn't find this interesting enough to watch the movie. Absolutely. It makes for great banter.

I agree. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'm sorry in advance, Rod Roy, but. Rowdy Robbie Roy. I don't like combat. People who watch Gamey Gamey Game regularly make fun of me because I don't like games that have a lot of combat in them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so I was watching this movie and then people would start fighting

and then my eyes would just go down towards my phone and I'd look back up again and they'd start fighting again then my eyes would just go down towards my phone and I'd look back up again and they'd start fighting again and my eyes would go back down. That's not to say that the scenes that weren't combat were good. But this is why I think it doesn't because Naomi has always said to me she doesn't like action movies very much, right? And I love a good action movie. I don't like just a movie that has gratuitous violence and action.

You don't like blood shots. But I don't mind gratuitous violence. I love Final Destination films. Yeah, exactly. And the Saw movies. And the Saw movies. And the Saw movies. But we saw one, we went and saw Mad Max together, Fury Road,

when that came out. Yes. And Naomi loved that movie. Yeah. And this is what I learned from that personally was that it shouldn't, like if this was like, and I think these movies have the ability to be really great. I really do. Like there are so many, there's evidence of great ensemble films

with lots of characters and lots of action that work. Like Guardians of the Galaxy is one for me. Great example. There's like a great ensemble film that works, right, and is fun and interesting, lots of action, blah, blah, blah. So if someone like Naomi is checking out who doesn't have any interest in maybe action or whatever, then I think the film as a whole isn't really working because if the story and the characters were there,

I reckon you'd be engaged. I was engaged in the first scene until they started fighting. That's when I checked out with the people because I cared about the people but then I was checked out so I stopped caring. Are you talking about the Sub-Zero Scorpion thing or the new guy? At the start in Japan. Yeah. That was great.

That was awesome. That was great. I loved the start of this movie. Mad Max Fury Road, very good. But also in those scenes, even though they're fighting and stuff, I feel like you can still tell what's happening and it's like not that much CGI. So it actually, I feel like it's interesting and clear to watch rather than like 50 cuts in a second where it's just like, ah,

which I feel like I didn't grow up watching that stuff and it's stupid to me. I think also when one of them's like a CGI thing or whatever, it's different. But those guys in real life are trained martial artists. Well, I didn't know that at the time. No, but I mean like that's why I think it's better than some of the other stuff.

Oh, you mean Mortal Kombat? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, right, yeah, yeah. That first scene is better than some of the other scenes. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? And when they have that confrontation at the end in the ice arena or whatever, that to me was the most interesting stuff.

Yeah, I loved. And there's not as much of that as you'd think. What I enjoyed about that is in the first scene, Sub-Zero's like, I've frozen your wife and kid to death. But in the last scene, he's like, I've frozen your wife and kid to the walls. To the wall. And you can rescue them if you want.

Because I've done that for no reason. And that's called gross. Yeah, that's true. That's not a bad thing. I think you should have a goal in your plan. I'll give you a fair chance. I loved that scene visually and the fighting. I loved it.

But there was so much there that just confused me. Like that, right? And also the fact that you've got, like, you're pairing two people fighting and then another guy just punching ice to save his family. I've got to get my wife out of this ice. I've got to get her out. But also Sub-Zero going, ha-ha, I have brought you to the gym, the boxing arena where you fight sometimes.

I think your favourite place. Why there? All right, that's an interesting choice. And then also Scorpion just going, I'm here now. He's had, what, how many? Like hundreds? Hundreds of years? Somebody thought about me so I was able to leave hell.

Yeah, like is that what it was? I don't know what brought him back. I thought it was the thing that he had and he summoned him or something. Yeah, but there was no, because he had the end of his spear. I loved that. I love when he goes, ah, the blade of Hattori Hanzo, who I don't think that's a Kill Bill character. You mean that trowel.

And it's like that's a gardening tool. He used it for like a minute. Yeah, like that's just used to get like. That's your favourite thing, right? I know stuff. Sub-Zero knows stuff. That's so bizarre. Sub-Zero in this movie was like when your grandmother

figures out you like cars and so gives you a little toy car every birthday. She's like, you like trowels and gyms, right? Yeah, thanks, Sub-Zero. Yeah, I do. Thanks, man. Also, if Raiden knows that there's a Mortal Kombat coming, maybe gather him more than like four to five days beforehand.

You know what I mean? Yeah. Maybe that's the rules. Is it? And he loves the rules. But they get there and he's like, you guys are late. You don't even have magic powers. And they're like, what are you talking about?

You know what I mean? It's crazy. And the other guys, the two guys who are already trained, are like, what's wrong with you guys? You don't even know enough because you weren't raised in a monastery. That's not what you're doing. And that's privilege. That's exactly what it is.

Yeah. So can we talk about the new guy? Yeah, let's talk about the new guy. Cole Young. I didn't think he was any less interesting than a lot of the other Mortal Kombat characters that have been introduced over the decades. I thought he was less interesting. Really?

Yeah. I like that guy, Louis Tan, in real life as well. I like him. I thought he was all right. Really? Yeah. I like that guy, Louis Tan, in real life as well. I like him. I thought he was all right. Well, we're not talking about real life Louis Tan. We're talking about this guy. He had a power that he's had a gold suit that could absorb maybe. This is, yeah.

Okay, it grew out of his skin, I'm pretty sure. I was looking at the screen in that part. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It grew out of his skin. It can make a baton and a knife. And, yeah, it absorbs energy? Yes. Like the Black Panther suit.

I think that's cool. I genuinely thought that was cool because he was just punching eyes, but he was weak because no one was punching him back. I thought that was clever. There you go. He's like, my only weakness, when no one's beating the shit out of me. Well, that is true because, yeah, he did get beat up a lot prior to that, didn't he?

So maybe that was reflective of his powers. I feel like it's not fully, the answer isn't given to you and it should be. What do you mean? It's not fully explained. He gets hit. He gets energy. What do you mean?

Because he gets hit. He glows red. The red flows to his hands and then he punches. But he made weapons. When he was glowing. Yeah, and he did that to a Goro. I think they worked backwards. I think they were like, he's going to fight Goro

and Goro's going to kill him with one punch. And then somebody just went, I'll just say he's got a gold, he's got a gold, he went gold armour. Why is this the only part of the movie that I understand and you guys are like, it's unclear. I'm with you, I'm with you. Because it was engineering based. I thought it was just a little muddy. It was physics

based and I'm a scientist. I think because I know he redirects it into the uppercut. But then he doesn't, I think he only does it once. After he punches then he's not glowing red anymore. Is there a new game? There's going to be a guy that you show you that you have to absorb punches

and then that's how you get your special. They'll do Mortal Kombat the movie, the game. Yeah. Like they did Street Fighter the movie, the game. Oh, my God. Like they did High School Musical, the musical, the series. Exactly right. But if he's going to do his uppercut in the game,

his daughter has to pop up and go, do the uppercut. Yeah, she pops up at the start of the sequence. Do the uppercut. And then goes back in. Was there anybody, because we'll be getting a sequel, is anybody worried that they've taken some major players off the table here for future Mortal Kombat-ing? Kano, Goro, Sub-Zero.

The wing lady. Do they all die? Yeah, but Sub-Zero has a brother called Sub-Zero. It's true. Did the ending suggest that Sub-Zero's not necessarily dead or they're all just going to come back because of black smoke? That's what I thought. When he only took those two, he didn't take Kano or Cabal

or the woman who was cut in half. Yeah, he just takes his favourites. When Kano died, I was like, oh, I thought that was a Mortal Kombat character. I guess he's not. Not anymore. Because he's dead. Yeah. How did he die? I've forgotten. She stabbed him with a garden character. I guess he's not. Not anymore. Because he's dead. Yeah.

How did he die? I've forgotten. She stabbed him with a garden knife. Oh, that's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There was some foreshadowing, yeah. And I was like, why is she happy she got a little thing? Now everyone's going to try to kill her.

But then Mark was like, she wants to Mortal Kombat. And then she came back and she's like, oh. Yeah, she wants the Mortal Kombat. It's the Mortal Kombat. And she's like, I have power arms. Yeah. It's like, cool. I guess you have to work for them.

She worked so hard. Yeah, but not after she got the mark. So, like, this is my thing. After the mark. Because she absorbed the. Oh, right, sorry. You pointed at yourself when you said that, and I thought you were talking about yourself.

Once you got the mark, she'll have approval for this. No, no, no Mark seal of approval for this movie. Which they all want. No, like everyone else had to get their power post getting their, they didn't just get their Mortal Kombat mark and have their powers. And they had to have a dinner. They had to have a dinner. Some of them had to have a dinner.

I wanted to talk about my favourite line in the movie, which is when they're in the Harry Potter purgatory land. Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. I just thought Dumbledore was going to turn up. Didn't disappoint it. A big rack of guns flies down like a matrix. What a great couple of DLC characters that would be, Neo and Dumbledore in this, right? And that Nintendo Wii Fit girl.

Yeah, yeah. But they're all talking. They're like, oh, And that Nintendo Wii Fit girl. Yeah, yeah. But they're all talking. They're like, oh, we've got to split up. You're going to take them and you're going to take this person and we're going to take this person. And then Sonia is like, or Sunia, how do you say it? It's Sonia. Jessica McNee.

Australia's packed to the rafters own. Jessica McNee. Is she Australian? Yeah. Jessica McNee goes. That's why she said one word and I was like, is that your. Jessica McNair. She's Australian. Yeah. Jessica McNair goes. That's why she said one word and I was like, is that your natural accent? Yeah. It's true. Because you said it bad.

Yeah. One word. One more. That's not. You did a great job. I'm sure she's listening. She's listening. Also, there would have been multiple takes.

They picked the wrong one. It's not her fault. That's true. Somebody should have picked up on that the other day. I think they did. I think they put the wrong get over here in the movie. There's a better one in the trailer. Yeah, really?

When that happens sometimes. No, it's just he's iconic. The thing he says. Yeah, that's his iconic line. I'm saying get over here. When he wants you to get over here. Or like in the middle of the fight. Scorpion pulls you in with his chain.

He goes, get over here. Come on. Come on. Mike, you were saying a thing. Oh, no, it's totally fine. Just my favourite line in the movie is they're deciding who they should go fight and then Sonya's like, I want the girl with the mouth and the teeth and who can identify blood by taste.

Yeah. Which I thought was a fascinating detail that never came back. That's her Mortal Kombat style. That's very interesting. And then the new guy, Cole, goes, no, no, no, you've got to fight Kano. Careful, he has a laser now. That's great. Okay.

That's my favourite line in the movie. He has a laser now. She's just a normal woman as well. She doesn't have superpowers or anything. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I punched this guy in the face a few times and he's like, alright, you've taken him before. You can get him again. He does have a laser now.

So just be careful. I don't remember that line at all. And I'm wondering if maybe your brain made it up. We both laugh because it's like, what kind of advice is that if someone has a laser that's going to burn holes through you to say careful? She was there.

She knows. Everyone knows about the laser eye. He used the laser eye to make a big handful on it. That's right. Careful. He has a laser eye. It's just so, why are you saying this? And it's delivered very

funnily. I loved that bit. I was like, yeah, all right. You love this movie. It's a good movie, isn't it? I did have a good time. I have to admit, I did have a good time. Yeah, fair enough. Yeah.

And they also took out Liu Kang, who's a big hat guy. Yeah. Yeah, that guy. Sorry, I said the wrong one. Yeah. I always get those guys confused. Love that hat. Love that.

The look? No, just the. The way you throw it? Just when she got cut in half. Because that reminded me of Final Destination because I love unnecessary go. Love that. The look? No, just the. The way you throw it? Just when she got cut in half. Because that reminded me of Final Destination because I love unnecessary gore like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But without all that fighting in between. You just want somebody.

Just have someone get split into seven pieces. That's all I want to see. Like that. I love that sheet of glass one. That one's crazy. Sheet of glass? I think it's in Final Destination. The first one?

I don't know. I've only seen like a compilation on YouTube. Like I don't think I've ever seen the actual movies. That's sick. You're sick in the head. I saw one that's in one of the movies I haven't seen actually recently that was the best one I've ever seen. Look it up.

It's a gymnast. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? No. And it's like they set it up, you know, they have like a loose screw that like falls down and it's on the like beam that you walk along and do little flips. And then they've got like water dripping from the ceiling onto like a puddle where there's like loose electric so you're like, oh,

she's going to step on the nail and like fall into an electrocutor. So anyway, and then she does her little balance beam thing and then she's about to step on it and she gets called off and you're like, false alarm. Another girl's up there. She's doing that and then you're like, oh, no, she's going to fall off into the electrical thing. But no, a towel falls down and dries it and you're like, oh, great,

she's okay, she's okay. And then she's just doing the thing, you know, where you're holding the bars? Yeah, yeah. She flips and then she just goes to land and then she just lands in a way where she just folds in half. And it has nothing to do with anything. She just goes off the ground.

Oh, my God. And it is amazing cinema. And I think you should look it up because it's hilarious. I was going to say, who is setting up these deaths, bloody Agent 47? I tell you what, you're not wrong. Am I right, everyone? You're not wrong. How do you escape a final destination?

Because I've never seen one. You can't. So does everybody get final destination? Is that the point? Or is there one person at the end? I'm trying to remember. At the end of the first movie, it's like explained where. No, I think it's.

It transfers. Like a Mortal Kombat seal of approval. Doesn't it transfer? That's the thing. Because people can be like, oh, yes, it skipped me, but it'll still come back and get you. Yeah. It just has to go around and come back.

Because the ending of the first movie is genuinely, like, really cool. Is that a plane crash or something? No, no, no. That's how it starts. Wasn't one of them feed into the plane crash in a later movie? It's like, it's a prequel. I don't know. It's set in the plane crash or something.

Oh, shit. I don't know. I can't watch them because after I saw the one where the shower, there's a shower death that I – I think that's the first one. And Naomi made me watch it recently. Not like people getting sucked to the bottom of a pool and then having their insides come out their butt.

Oh, my God. That's funny. That's every kid's favorite. That's a Chuck Fellenwick short story. Oh, that's it. We're suing. That's it. That's every kid's favorite. That's a Chuck Fallon-like short story. Oh, that's it. We're suing. That's it. That's one of the most.

On behalf of Final Destination people. Anyway, I don't know. He's probably not the first person to have done that. Maybe it was in Final Destination first. It may have been. Who knows? Sure. We've got to check these movies out, Mason.

You've got to watch the video of the gymnast one. It's amazing. I think Beck Shaw posted it on Twitter. I don't want to. What's wrong? Just the thought of a person just snapping in half is very upsetting. So what's the difference between like for you a fight where a woman gets cut in half by a hat and that's cool, but for you that's like not interesting.

No, I did like that. Oh, okay. So but like vice versa, but you just don't like the fighting. I, I did like that. Oh, okay. So but like vice versa. But you just don't like the fighting. I don't like sparring. Yeah, yeah. Just go from talking to someone's just decapitated and I'm fine with it. Okay, I get you, I get you.

But you like a bit of biffo leading up to a woman being cut in half. I like when the violence is like so family. Mark, this is a trap. This is clearly a trap. In which way would you like to see a woman in her? I like it when there's an element of fantasy. Like what I thought was really done well in this Mortal Kombat movie. Because when it was getting brutal, I was like, just more of that.

Just give me more. That's what I like about all the like training and the... I was like... I loved the start. I thought the middle was like... And then the end had all the blur from the middle, but all the fun stuff from the start. I thought the middle was like, bleh, and then the end had all the blur from the middle but all the fun stuff from the start. So I got through it.

I don't think we needed any training montage. No, I really don't. I thought it was weird when these movies do lore and they try to explain too much of it but then don't have enough time to fully explain it. It's like you're better off just stepping in. Okay, people have powers. People have powers in this world. They're all just awful killers.

They don't need to be like, oh, I used to fight in a gym and I don't know what I want to do with my life. I don't care. You don't need that. I'm searching for myself. No, it's all good. But actors can write that in their little diaries, but we don't need to hear about it.

I think one day we might get like like, an incredible Mortal Kombat movie. I might have said this earlier, or maybe it was I forgot to say it, but, yeah, that was a mandate. So I think that from Warner Brothers. Did I say that earlier? Yeah, potentially. A new guy. Yeah, that was Warner Brothers, like, we need.

I don't mind that. Yeah, that's fine. You did say it. You did say it, and you're crazy. The difference for me is with some of the Final Destination stuff in particular or things like Saw or whatever, when it's – and I know that's – I know it's fantastical, but the violence itself isn't fantastical like how it happens is.

And if I can put myself in that position like in the shower scene in Final Destination where like. Or when they're in the car and the log from the truck in front. Like that kind of stuff just genuinely like. Because it could happen. Yeah, there's a little bit of that like, oh, and it's, you know, because I don't mind violence in video games because it's so, usually so far, I mean, The Last of Us is different, but still even that makes me a bit squirmish at times.

Yeah, sure. Yeah, I don, The Last of Us is different, but still even that makes me a bit squirmish at times. Yeah, sure. Yeah, I don't know. There's a difference. But you're never going to find yourself accidentally in a Mortal Kombat. No, probably not, or a hat cutting me in half. The chances of that are low to medium. I also think the chances of you. I've never been into a Caps.

You've never been in bloody David Jones during stock takes. I don't know what will happen. Sorry, bloody David Jones during stock takes. I know. You never know what will happen. Sorry, what were you saying there? No, nothing. It was the riff, but the riff, it washed over me. Mason stepped on your riff. Yeah, I drowned. I'm dead now.

I got caught in a rip. It's fine. It wasn't that good. Move on. So everybody in my cinema stayed for the credits. I Googled post-credits scene and there wasn't one and I left. Yeah. But the reveal at the end, which is I recommend you should do

for every movie. Work smarter, not harder. Exactly. We've got time for this shit. Nice. Seems like it would have had one though, doesn't it? It does, right? But I think the post-credits would have been the Johnny Cage reveal,

who's a big character from the game. So at the end they're like, I'm going to Hollywood. And then it zooms in on a poster that says Cage. He's like a Jean-Claude Van Damme style action hero based on Jean-Claude Van Damme who was supposed to play him in the original game. Yeah. But which MMA podcaster do you think should play Johnny Cage?

Yeah, wow. In an up cabin. I love that there was zero commitment to who's playing that character in the way they revealed it. Very well done, New Line Cinema. They have to get someone famous-ish though, right? I think it doesn't have to be an MMA podcast host, just any podcast host. Get Marin.

Marin could do it. Marin could be Johnny Cage. He could definitely do it. One of the McElroy brothers. Sure. All of them. Osher Gunsberg. Osher Gunsberg could be Johnny Cage.

Yeah. I think they're going to film in Adelaide again. That's right, exactly. Do you reckon they'll still get a sequel? It would be embarrassing if it didn't. They've committed to it. Because they didn't do the Mortal Kombat. They didn't even do Mortal Kombat.

They're really committed to it. They've really set themselves up. Maybe they're banking on being a bunch of fans who do the release of the Snyder Cut, like the campaign. They're like, well, even if this doesn't make a bunch of money, the diehard Mortal Kombat fans will be like, release another one, do another one. That's funny because that's what we're doing with our show as well. We're just relying on people just screaming at Netflix

to give us a season two. Just abusively? Yeah, yeah, yeah. As mean as possible? Yeah, cool, yeah. As mean as possible? Yeah, cool, cool, cool. All right. Final Destination style, this has come around to your show. Yeah, I'll always find a way to work it in.

Absolutely sure. While I think about it. Why you like this, check it out on Netflix now the world over, unless people have more things to say about Mortal Kombat. Nick's face says, I always do. I don't know if I do. I'm curious because we are recording this like before a lot of people have seen it.

I don't know whether hardcore Mortal Kombat fans are going to even like this that much because for the simple fact they don't do Mortal Kombat. Like technically they don't. I think there'll be people who are like, it's not even Mortal Kombat. It was like a prequel Mortal Kombat. Which like if you love Mortal Kombat and, you know, you're very set on this.

You love rules. They should have called this movie Almost Mortal Kombat. That is the name of the movie. Mortal Kombat soon. Oh, Mortal Kombat Origins. People would have been involved with that. Oh, they would have loved that. Sick little freaks.

Dawn of Mortal Kombat Origins. If people could let us know what they think of Mortal Kombat TBD, maybe we'll read out some stuff next week or something like that. But, yeah, would you guys mind hanging around for our What We're Reading segment where we just talk about stuff we've been reading and watching and playing? I would love to. Absolutely.

I want to ask you about a specific thing that I've been playing, and, Mason, you can also chime in. I love chiming in. All right, here we go. I just got to play a theme song and then I have to say Westworld. It's an in-joke. You don't have to do anything. All right.

I'll laugh. I believe you. You don't have to laugh. I trust you. Please don't. If I look the fool, it's on you. Trusting you that the joke is funny. It's not.

It's not. You've just been doing it for a year. It's not funny. Actually, it might be its anniversary. So this is exciting for me. Oh, happy anniversary. Thank you. Westworld, the in-joke.

Westworld, the in-joke. Westworld. Also I want to point out people can't hear the theme song. Only I can hear it in my head. So that in my earphones. Like I said, you're crazy. I am crazy. I thought it was funny. I liked it.

Thank you. I appreciate it. No one else does. But. What is it? I played the Resident Evil demo. Oh, for Village. Yeah.

Which one? The latest one where you're in the village and everything catches on fire and there's vampires and stuff. Well, the other ones are deleted, right? Yeah, that one where the giant lady chases you around. Did you guys play the Resident Evil demo? I'm familiar with the giant lady with the giant chest. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, I haven't played any of the demos. That's all I know about that. But I've loved the last two Resident Evil remake games. Because I'm thinking of getting Seven, which is the first person one. Have you guys played that one? No, but I've heard it's incredible. It's on my list to play. They are very spooky, but sometimes my audience likes seeing me

play spooky games on Twitch. See, that's the thing. Because you were saying earlier, you know, the idea of, like, violence that can, like, you know, that you can see happening to yourself. Seven has a lot of that. Yeah, it looks – the first person-ness affects me a lot. I'm much scarier. The Resident Evil ones are great.

The two and three that they remade. Third person, you're a little removed from it. It's happening to someone else. You're a fan of four, I assume. No, I've only played the remakes. Four's amazing. So I'm waiting for their remaking. They are.

There's a first person version of that coming out. And they're remaking it also in addition to that. But it's on Switch. You should get it. Okay, cool. If you like the other two. I would love it if you didn't encourage him to get spooky games because when he started playing Last of Us for the first time,

he had nightmares every single night. Night terrors. And it was somewhat of a nightmare for me because he would wake up screaming. Did you remember what you were dreaming about? I just, like literally it's either moments of the game or it's just like extreme violence in my dreams. I get spooked so easily. Stuff stays with me.

I think that's a good thing though, right? No. No, because it's like you're affected by things. You're a person. Yeah, yeah, sure. But, you know, I think I would know I was a person without screaming in the middle of the night and waking up my partner.

Yeah, yeah. Fair point. I would love that. Yeah. A little bit more of an unfeeling psychopath wouldn't go astray. Just a bit of shush, a bit of shush at night. Where's that toxic masculinity gone? Get a little bit of it back.

But anyway, just quickly, I thought the demo was really interesting and compelling and it reminded me a lot of Resident Evil 4, which is my favourite one. It had that kind of vibe because at the start of that game you go into a village and there's people pottering around and then all of a sudden you have to kill a bunch of people or whatever. That's so sad. It is sad.

I'm not affected by it at all though. I sleep like a baby. You're like, woo! That's how I sleep. Woo! I sleep. affected by it at all though. I sleep like a baby. You're like, woo! That's how I sleep. Woo! I sleep. I love it. What is anybody else playing or doing or seeing or watching or reading?

I'm playing a game on Switch called Spiritfarer. Oh, I'm going to look this up. It's a very, very different type of game where you basically play. It's your job to sort of, I guess, help people cross over after they've died. It's like the light. It's like the River of Sticks situation. Yeah, and they all have like trauma that they need to address and you sort of help them address it by doing different tasks

and, you know, taking them places. Therapy the game. Yeah. Oh, okay. But it's like weirdly grown up. Like it seems like a sweet game but there is a little bit of swearing in it and like there's, you know, you have to do talks between a union and the boss of a company. Oh, wow.

It's quite weird. Like, the stories in it are kind of, like, esoteric and actually specific rather than just, like, you know, a lot of games, like, the message will be nice and so the storylines are really vague. It's like, you know, it's like I lost someone. But this is like I was corrupted and I owned a farming industry and now I feel bad about it and I can't move into the light until I deal with it.

But it's really cool. It's really nice. It's really calming. This has 232 ratings. This is on Google and it's five stars flat. Wow. Yeah. It sounds good.

And I really like the art style of it. You didn't believe me? Not until I saw this. Yeah, well, thank God. I have 232 of my homies backing me up. It looks beautiful though. The art style looks incredible, yeah. That's really important to me in video games.

I hate video games that are ugly. No interest. Is it like just a small studio passion project type thing? You don't know? Shut up, Mark. I downloaded it. I pressed play and then I brought it to the cinema to play. But, you know, I didn't play my Switch in the cinema, which, you know,

so no reason to yell at me. Mortal Kombat was just interesting enough to not make you switch to the Switch. There you go. That's something. What about you, Mason? What have you done? I watched. I had a bit of spare time, so I watched all three Infernal Affairs movies. Are they the ones the Departed is based on?

The Departed is based on the first one. Because Tony Leung Chiawai who's in, he's the Mandarin in Shang-Chi. So I watched the trailer. I'm like, oh, yeah, he's in those. Yeah, yeah. These movies are great. And I watched them and they are great. I've never seen them but they're great.

That's amazing. When were they made? The early 2000s. Oh, okay, cool. Yeah. Yeah. The golden age. That's amazing. When were they made? Early 2000s. Oh, okay, cool. Yeah. Yeah. The golden age. The golden age.

The golden age of cinema. That's right. The Juice Bigelow movies. Yeah. But the first one is the same as The Departed in that there's, like, one guy is, like, a mob guy who's infiltrated the police and we've got a cop, you know, who's infiltrated the mob and it's sort of their parallel stories.

Yeah. Yeah, I was kind of annoyed they never made more of those movies but I guess I can just watch those movies. Infernal Affairs 203, yeah. I don't have to watch the other ones. It sounds like you're saying the name of the movies wrong. It's really interesting. Yeah, right?

We'll just get to the end of this and then we'll call the ambulance for you in a concussion. Oh, boy. Excellent. Mark, what have you got? I've been switching between Diablo 3 because I'm gearing up for 4, but also 2. Also 2, yeah.

I bought it in a pack with a pre-order of 2. Are you a digital or physical man? I'm all digital. I'm so for digital. Yeah, right. you used to be for physical i'm only physical for nintendo because the resale value is so high um i a lot of people talk about how uh it going digital is gonna like ruin certain stores and stuff game stores and stuff and in one hand i agree but in another hand I'm like, yeah,

but you always pay more for the digital version, which I think is a good thing because you're supporting the industry more. Sure, yeah. And computer games, like on PC, it's all gone digital. Yeah. And it was fine. We've all survived. And if anything, there's more variety and it's a lot easier.

That's a really good point, yeah. You know, for some reason with consoles people are like, it must be physical. And also just the amount of plastic that you don't need. Yeah. You can just send it over the internet. Totally. Like that copy of Mortal Kombat that you gave Mark.

So for those people who don't know, which is everybody, the people in this room, I bought Mortal Kombat, the ultimate edition, and it arrived and it was a digital game in a box. It was a code. And then I went, fuck, I didn't want that. I wanted the card. So I ordered another copy and I checked with them. My messenger said, this is physical?

And they went, yes. And they sent it to me and it wasn't. It's physically a plastic case. It looked nothing. Did you say physically with a card? I should have specified, I guess, that it had a game in it. I guess I'm a fucking idiot. We're not going to send you an empty envelope.

No, it is physical, yeah. Because, like, just email me the code, you know what I mean? Like, I don't need to wait, like, two weeks or whatever it was. Totally, totally. To have something to slot into your huge DVD shelf. Exactly. That your kids are going to have to sort through after you die. I have very few DVDs, but I do like keeping my games

because I do worry things are going to disappear. That's the only reason I like it. And I think that's fair. Like I just bought a bunch of Vita games because I have a Vita. Yeah. And I'm like, oh, I didn't play all these games, and I probably never will, but I'll get them now just in case. They recently announced that they're keeping the store open for now.

What's a Vita? A PlayStation Vita, the portable, the successor to the PSP. I've never heard of that. I'll show you after. It's like your PlayStation version of the DS. Yeah. It can't have been very successful. Oh, no, it wasn't.

No, no, no. Massive failure. But it's like a precursor to the, it does everything the Switch does, but, like, not as well. Yeah, yeah. But it's really good and there's some really good stuff on it. He plays Mario, but he's French. good and there's some really good stuff on it. He plays Mario but he's French.

We all know French people aren't as good as Italians. That's right. They both know it. No one ever says Italy. Just a Simpsons reference. I don't know. Your listeners will like that. Probably.

You're back in their good graces. I've been playing a lot of Age of Empires 2 as well, the definitive edition. My brother as well. What do you have it on? PC. Can you get it on Switch? How would that go with a touch screen?

Well, no, I can't do RTS on a console. I tried it with StarCraft 64 and it was a nightmare and never, ever again. Wait, back when it was on 64? Yeah, because that was a massive Starcraft fan. But with this touchscreen, that would be a lot. Starcraft was on Nintendo 64? Yeah.

Yeah, they brought it out and it sucked to play. It was like a nightmare. Because you can't get to things quickly. And, yeah, I think that was like. That was on the box. That was a selling point. This beautiful demonstration. But, yeah, even with the touchscreen, I don't know. For me, I'm so firmly ingrained with real-time strategy and the keyboard. That's part of the culture of real-time strategy is clicking the mouse

20 times a second. Yeah, exactly. Way too much. That's part of the experience. It's like you're not even doing anything. It's almost like meditating for me. I just do the same thing over and over. I put the computer on the hardest possible difficulty.

I set the map on the biggest possible map with full visibility, right, so I can always see where they are. I put us on islands so they can't get to me real fast, right? And then I build my base and I upgrade as fast as I can to the Imperial Age. Then I build my wonder somewhere else and then I just build a fort around the wonder and then I just defend, defend, defend, let them wipe out my other base. I don't give a shit.

I just defend and defend and I win every time and I love it. What? Do you ever drop in a – That's crazy. I know. I know. I don't know why I do it. Because it's like such specific set of conditions.

It is so specific. It's so specific the way I like to play that game, right? Because I'm not good at it at all. I've just figured out one way to beat the computer on the hard. That's like the video game of Quill and just somebody who just watches Friends over and over again. Yes, absolutely. Ten seasons. Not being challenged in any way.

No, because sometimes it is a challenge. Sometimes we fuck it up. Yeah. So I've got to go back and restart the game. But it is just a way to like. And that has to be a surprise. Yeah. It is very much like that.

Just putting on a familiar sitcom. Yep. Just because you want, you just want to zone the hell out. Yeah, yeah. I'm like in the mood for a video game, but I'm not in the mood for like a huge challenge. Sure. I just want to repeat the same thing. Do you ever like throw in a photon man?

Have you ever done that cheat? No. There's this cheat I remember doing it where you basically, you drop in a guy who's got a laser gun and he just fucking tears through. And he can put in, like, 50. So the army shows up with their bows and arrows and horses and it's just, like, guys with laser guns. He has a laser.

Be careful. And another one, you can get, like, a sports car with a rocket launcher on the top. Oh, wow. You should drop them in. That's quite fun. I'm absolutely going to drop them in. That's incredible. And they're fast.

They're really fast. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've got one mod that just lets you upgrade infinity times. So you just constantly. So you can basically upgrade your walls so that they are unbreakable. Oh, okay, right. It doesn't matter what they do. What's the point?

What is silly? It's fun. It's just dumb fun and not challenging at all, you know. I just had to double check he was in Age of Empires 2 and he is. Oh, that's so cool. I'm like, is that Age of Empires 1 I was thinking of? But, yeah, he's in both. There you go.

What a world. Anything else? Anything else? I just got Charlie Kaufman's novel, so I'm going to start reading that. Oh. Yeah. What's it called? No idea.

I'm going to say. What's it called? You're asking me. It's on the internet. I was going to say Ant-Man, but I don't think it's called Ant-Man. Let me check. You're thinking of Paul Rudd. I am thinking of Paul Rudd.

Is it called Antkind? I can't read this fucking. Antkind, yeah. You're thinking of Paul Rudd. I am thinking of Paul Rudd. Aren't we all? Yeah, Antkind? I can't read this fucking – Antkind, yeah. Antkind. Yeah, Antkind, yeah. Someone compared our show to that. There you go. Really? Yeah.

I'm very excited. I haven't read a novel in so long and this is a big novel. I started out just because I stopped reading. So I started just doing audio books because then I can like take the kid in a pram and listen. Yeah. Because otherwise I just don't. I can't like.

You don't have the time. Yeah, you've got kids. Yeah. That's your excuse. I've got my MMA classes. You know what I mean? I'm busy. I don't.

Something in my brain. Something in my brain problem. I bought an audio book that I haven't started yet. But it was, Hum recommended it to me, the other co-creator of our show. Oh. Because it's about like a female creative partnership because Hum and I are very, very close. Yeah, yeah.

Almost codependent. And it's about, it's called The Animators or something and it's about like a female creative partnership and the emotions go along with that. But I haven't started it. Well, I'm going to read. Is it a novel, sorry? Yeah, yeah, it's a novel. But I bought't started it. Well, I'm going to read. Is it a novel? Yeah, yeah, it's a novel.

But I bought the audio book because I'm the same. I cannot sit down and read. Because, you know, my brain is fully rotted. I can't do audio books. I can't do them. I can't concentrate on them. Is it the voice? It's just a focus thing.

It's even with podcasts. I really struggle with podcasts. I'm really trying to focus on this audio book, but there's this voice that keeps just. Just this noise constantly. Oh, my God. Yeah, get to the book, please. What is he talking about?

No, I don't know. I think there's already so many voices going on in my head that another one is like. Because I compulsively think and my brain's just always running at like 100 miles a minute, which is a problem. But like an audio book or a podcast just confuses me. I don't know. I just can't focus on that.

I wish I could. My brain is so broken that my voice on the inside now sounds like my voice on the outside that I listen to. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I hear myself talk so much. Yeah. It's the same. Like I don't hear my voice and go outside, that I listen to. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I hear myself talk so much. Yeah. It's the same. Like I don't hear my voice and go, that's different.

It's what I sound like all the time to myself. I've completely broken my brain. Really? Because, you know, people listen back to themselves recorded and they hate it. Yeah. It's the same to me now. Like I used to have that but now it's all the same.

Yeah, because your voice is lower to you. Yeah, because it's like ringing in your head or whatever. Yeah. I don't think that's meant to be, man. No, I don't think that's. Man was not meant to hear their own voice as they hear it. You're probably right. I agree.

I'm going to read the animators, though, and then I'm going to recommend it to Claire on our other podcast, Suggestible, and she's going to be impressed with me. Nice. She's going to be like, wow, you're really branching out, James. She doesn't listen to this. You love women. That's right.

Exactly. That's what I'm going for. Yes. So anyway, the show, it's on Netflix for a while, I assume, at the very least, right? Forever. But people want to watch it as quickly as possible. But no, you can only watch it for the next week or something.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's fun. And it'll be on Netflix in Oz eventually. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But fuck all that. it'll be on Netflix in Oz eventually, we're not sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But fuck all that. It's Why You Like This, iView Australia, Netflix anywhere else, or if you want to use a VPN, if you don't want to download iView,

then whatever, and also tweet about it at Netflix. You guys have a hashtag. It's the same as the name of the show, isn't it? It is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just get into it. Tell everyone you know. Yep.

Please. Please. For the love of God. Please. I've decided making TikToks. I everyone you know. Yep. Please. Please. For the love of God. Please. I've decided making TikTok because I can't keep this up. There's no more platforms after that. No. What do I have to go back on Tumblr?

Apparently they like it on Tumblr. There you go. I mean it's no surprise but I didn't even know people were still on Tumblr. But they're on there and they are the characters in the show. That's cool. Are you animated GIFs now? Are you a lot of animated GIFs? We have some GIFs, not animated ones, but we have had some fan art that is very cool. Oh, the fan. That's cool. Are you animated GIFs now? Are you a lot of animated GIFs? We have some GIFs, not animated ones,

but we have had some fan art that is very cool. Oh, the fan art's been awesome. And people are loving the clothing as well. Is that right? People are breaking down outfits? They are loving the clothes, which is why I stole a lot of the clothes after we filmed because it was much better than all the clothes.

First of all, they fit me, which I highly recommend getting clothes that fit you. Interesting. But, yeah, it's really cool. Excellent. I think we talked about fit me, which I highly recommend getting clothes that fit you. Interesting. But, yeah, it's really cool. Excellent. I think we talked about that last time or I'm having a stroke. Okay, well, I guess I'll just leave. Yeah, let's, yes, if you could.

No thanks. All right, thanks again for coming on, guys. Thanks, guys. Thank you. Thanks for having us. I'm sorry I didn't concentrate on the film at all. We don't care. No, we don't.

Most weeks at least one of us does that. Yeah, it's absolutely. I don't remember what happens. And if you liked the film, don't care. No, we don't. Most weeks at least one of us does that. Yeah. I don't remember what happens. And if you liked the film, don't fucking at me. I don't care. If you disagree with my opinion. Yeah. No reason to bully us.

No. But if you liked Mortal Kombat, you'll love. Why are you like this? Yeah. Potentially. Because it's mean like Mortal Kombat. Yes. But of the mind and words.

Of the mind and words. Mind and of the words. Oh, my God. It's Kano the show. Exactly. Yeah, yeah Mortal Kombat. Yes. But of the mind and words. Of the mind and words. Mind and of the words. Oh, my God. It's Kano the show. Exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly. But careful, he has a laser now.

Thanks so much, guys. Appreciate it. Mason, while Mark and Naomi creep out of the room silently, you wouldn't even hear them go. I like ghosts. Should you line up the letters they sign? Let's do that, yes. Yeah, do you know what I mean?

I'll line it up. See, the thing is they're going very slowly. So the fact that it's taking me quite some time to bring up the letters theme is irrelevant. Yeah, that's right. Because we're not going to start the segment until they leave. I need to unplug the microphones that they were using. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.

Good stuff. Thanks, Naomi and Mark. Bye. Bye. They're just waving silently. Yeah, good on them. Yeah, thanks. Thanks, team. What a duo. They're just waving silently. Yeah, good on them. Yeah, thanks. Thanks, team.

What a duo. You know what I mean? Perfect. Perfect. Yeah. I mean, maybe Trouble in Paradise. You never know. I don't want to get into it.

No, let's not. Don't go there. All right, here we go. It's Letters. Classic one was Letters, oh, Letters. We love you. Some letters, they're only a day away. I know they're here right now. We're going to do Letters, we love you Some letters, they're only a take away I know they're here right now, we're going to do letters.

Done. Speaking of, maybe in speaking to them, maybe I actually didn't say I like that show a lot, the Why You Like This. Maybe you didn't. I said I liked it. I was pretty clear on that. Wow.

Yeah. Well, I do like it. I think it's a fun show. I agree. I hope they do get to see it. I was pretty clear on that. Wow. Yeah. Well, I do like it. I think it's a fun show. I agree. I hope they do get a season two. Breezy watch. It's like, but like Aunty Donna and why you like this, it's just like you just put it on and then you're like,

huh, watch six episodes. How did that happen? And I feel great. Feel great. Yeah, exactly. If you do want to reach the show, hashtag Weekly Planet Pod on Twitter. That's right. Or weeklyplanetpod at gmail.com.

I've got one from Ninja Dude here. It says, hashtag Weekly Planet Pod. Hi-ya. Who is the band? Is that what he said? Yeah, at gmail.com. I've got one from Ninja Dude here, says, hashtag weeklyplanetpod. Hi-ya. Who is the band? Is that what he said? Yeah, hi-ya. Wow. Who is the band that came out of Australia?

The Seekers, I think he's thinking of. Might be thinking of The Seekers, yeah. Midnight Oil. Rustler Rock. Could have been Rustler Rock. Jet. It could have been Jet. He might be thinking of Jet.

They got a Spider-Man 2 song. Powderfinger. They got a Mission Impossible 2 song. That's true, yeah. I'm just naming movie soundtracks now. The A have been Jet. You might be thinking of Jet. They got a Spider-Man 2 song, Powderfinger. They got a Mission Impossible 2 song. That's true, yeah. I'm just naming movie soundtracks now. The Avalanches. Sure. Did you notice the 20th anniversary of that Avalanches album? The one that goes...

Frontier Psychiatrist. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. 20 years. 20 years. My goodness. Wow, time flies. What are they up to?

They're celebrating the 20th anniversary of that album. They might be thinking of the band Body Jar. Could we think of Body Jar? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Killing Heidi. Screaming Jets. Screaming Jets, yep. Paul Kelly.

Not a band, a man, but he has a band. That's right. The Paul Kelly band. Paul Kelly band. Paul Kelly and his Mary band. That's right. Daryl Braithwaite. Daryl Summers.

Yep. One Summer, the Daryl Braithwaite. Daryl Summers. Yep. One Summer, the Daryl Braithwaite song. 30 Seconds to Summer of Mars. Is that a band? That's right, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know what this is in reference to. John Farnham's band?

John Farnham, yeah. John Farnham's band. People should look up. Without John Farnham. It's just You're the Voice and then the bagpipe to silence, then bagpipe solo. People should look up You're the Voice. They should, yeah.

And people should also look up Daryl Braithwaite Horses. I went to a wedding in the US and Daryl Braithwaite Horses played at the end. The strain's bloody going off. And then that's when I realised, oh, people don't know this song. Yeah. This is an Australian song. I had no idea. Yeah.

Anyway, that's all the songs, isn't it? Yes. All the songs are musicians. That's right. That's everything that's come out of Australia. Yeah. Well, that's something we were talking about with Naomi and Mark about

Australian music and it seems like a lot of people now, they just look to overseas and there isn't that groundswell of like entertainment here that there should be. It's kind of depressing, if I'm honest. Yeah. Except for podcasting. We made that Apple thing. Did you see? Or something? There was an Apple presentation and it's like

podcasts and there was like a thousand podcasts on the screen and we were in there. And it made me go, huh, I guess, yeah, I guess people do listen to this. That's all I needed. Because I got a series of tweets from people who were nice enough to point that out and I got the first one. I was like, guys, you're at this Apple presentation

and we were just front and centre like just like, you know, there were like six podcasts and we were in the group. And I'm like, oh, that's cool, man. People want to see. And then somebody was like, hey, man, you were on this list of podcasts and it's like the Zoom out. And it's like one of those pictures of Yoda made up of a thousand pictures. You know what I mean?

Yeah, yeah. But, hey, that's cool, man. Very cool. There's some like big names there and I'm like, are we equivalent to any of these? I don't think so. Maybe they're just throwing a smaller one in there, but we appreciate it regardless.

That was really cool. Anyway. Anyway, I've got an email here. Maybe there's someone on Apple that loves us. Maybe. If you are, let us know. Tell us your secrets. Yeah.

Anyway, go on. This is from Ahmed. It says, greetings from Egypt. Egypt? He says, I just want to thank you for being a positive influence for my son for the better part of his life. He turned nine a few weeks ago and has been watching YouTube for at least five years.

I still remember him having your old animated BVS video on repeat. I love that, Sean Willis. Of course, I'm no stranger to your content either, and your podcast is one of the few I tolerate. Hope you two have a good life and continue to make great content. Thank you. Thank you. And thank you to your son for listening as well.

That's a long time. Long time. Five years for a kid, that's more than half of his life. That's right. It's crazy when you're a kid. Things take forever. My son's like, what day is it? I'm like, Wednesday.

He's like, how many days of school? I'm like, three. And he's like, are you kidding me? Three days for me is like a blink of an eye. I turn around, I look back. It's like next week. I don't know what's happened, right? You know what I mean?

Boy, boy howdy. Yeah. That's great. Thank you very much. From Egypt. From Egypt. I've never know what's happened, right? You know what I mean? Boy, boy howdy. Yeah. That's great. Thank you very much. From Egypt. From Egypt. I've never been. Oh.

Have you been? No. I thought you had. Could have lied to me. I wouldn't have known. Going from John here says, hashtag weekly planet pod. I was on tour with John Farnham's band. We went to Egypt.

But not John Farnham. Not John Farnham, no, no, no. What were you doing? He was busy. What were you doing? Bagpipes. I mean, I can't play the bagpipes, but I was the bagpipes reinflator. Oh, okay.

Yeah, yeah. Out of breath. Yeah. Yeah, cool. All the Star Trek talk this week, it's from John, actually we can plan a pod, has made me really want to Star Trek the motion picture Caravan of Garbage. So I hereby formally request it.

Imagine how fun it would be. Then do it. Please and thank you. I would. That's been our mistake. Before we do a commentary, we don't imagine how fun it would be. Then do it. Please and thank you. I would. That's been our mistake. Before we do a commentary, we don't imagine how fun it would be before we do it. I don't know if – do you want to do that for Caravan of Garbage?

Oh, eventually. I kind of do. But also I think if Star Trek rolls around again, I'd like to do the Abrams ones. Yeah. Because I think – maybe we could like parallel it with the – like if we did original picture, reboot, Wrath of Khan, Into Darkness, whatever the third one was. Yeah, right, maybe.

Beyond, I don't know. I don't know if that might be a bit complicated, but yeah. Because those films are night and day. They really are, yeah. Except for the one that both have Khan. Yes. No, they're night and day also. Yeah, you're right.

Because a different person yells Khan. That's true, yes. Gosh, I didn't expect that. That's why I loved it. What's next? This is from William. He says, comics for the comic one you do. What?

He's talking about our podcast, The Big Sandwich Classic. Oh, okay. He says, why don't you do something from 2000 AD? Judge Dredd, Nemesis, ABC Warriors, Rogue Trooper, Slain. Which Nemesis is that? Because there's a few Nemesis comics. This is Nemesis, ABC Warriors, Rogue Trooper, Slain. Which Nemesis is that? Because there's a few Nemesis comics. This is Nemesis and Torquemada. I'll do any of those.

I'm unfamiliar with Nemesis and Torquemada. We haven't done any 2018. No, that's true. We've done a bit of Dread Talk. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I would do any of those. All right, cool. Yeah.

I would do Slain. I would do Finn. It's like Slain but different from Slain. Are they allowed to do that? Yeah. Are they night and day? Like Wrath of Khan and Into Darkness? No, they're quite similar.

Wow. So also like those movies. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, cool. Okay. Yeah, we've lined up the next one. It's Sweet Tooth, which is a great comic. That's right, yeah.

Which Jeff and me, if you haven't read it, just give it a read. They'll be coming up in a few weeks. What else, Mason? I've got one. Do you want me to do one? Yeah, do one. It's from Anthony. It says, have you boys ever read Donny Cate's God Country?

I'd love to know your thoughts. If not, please do. We talked about issue one. Yes. Some time ago. Long time ago. Cosmic War, Gods, A Giant Magic Sword, Tragic Family Story, As a Dad. It's my favourite standalone comic novel of all time.

I have read it. It's great. It's really good. Maybe we should do a comic book club on that. There's another one to do on. Yeah, let's put it on the list. It's quite tragic because it starts off with a father suffering from dementia and he maybe wasn't a great bloke and then he gets a magic sword

and he's kind of like reborn. It's really cool. It's a really good book. Yeah. And he goes to hell and he's like, I'm fucking shit up. You guys better run. I've got this giant sword. You guys have got to.

It's such a big sword too. It's so big. I love it. Anything else? That's the whole show I think. Wow. I know, right? Who knew?

Time flies when you do part of the show on one day and part of the show on a different day. I turned around and I looked back and it was next week. I didn't even know. Seamless. Seamless. Mason, I bet you're able to wrap up this show though, aren't you? Yep.

Is that something you're capable of doing? Can I leave that in your hands? My very capable hands. Oh, no, I've dropped the whole podcast and ruined it. Oh, no. I dropped the whole pot of podcasts. It's seeping into the cracks of the kitchen, the podcast kitchen. Oh, no.

Quick, get some paper towels. No, they won't work properly. They won't work properly, yeah. The floor will still be sticky. Yeah, oh, well. The podcast content. I'm going to have to get a new kitchen. That's all right. I'll end this podcast though. Yeah The floor will still be sticky. Yeah, oh well. The podcast content. I'm going to have to get a new kitchen. That's all right.

I'll end this podcast, though. Yeah, cool, cool, cool. Folks, thank you so much for listening. Thank you for telling a friend about the podcast. Thank you for lying to some friends to get them to listen to the podcast. Thank you for leaving a nice review. James, you got any? I do.

Yeah, this one is from BlueAmerican26. Five stars. I hate it. This is without a shout of a doubt the worst podcast in the universe. Because I hate my life, I'll give it five stars and continue to bleed into my ears. I love that. I'll take it.

Thank you very much. Definitely. And what about this one, Mason? What about a second review? Would you be up for it? Yeah, I'd love it. Okay. Don't drop it.

This one just says, a shreckingly good time. Very good. Spellbinding. Nice. From Reviewbra of Apps. Have I done that one? No, I don't think so. Because we talked about shreckingly good time. Very good. Spellbinding. Nice. From Reviewbra of apps. Have I done that one? No, I don't think so. Because we talked about shreckingly good times, didn't we?

Why was it so furled? I had to furl it up because I was doing a bunch of cocaine, all right? Is that what you want to hear? I'm sure our friend from Egypt wants his nine-year-old son to hear that, yeah. It's cool stuff, man. Don't tell me that. You're getting into my head, man. It's all right.

He's turned it off already. Everybody turns it off at this point. That is true. Also, I've never done cocaine, just to clarify, in my life, and I probably won't at this point, I think, that you're past it. Well, I won't say that I haven't, but I'm just saying there's some pretty wild times when you're in John Farnham's band without John Farnham touring Egypt.

Yes. We love having a great time over there. We really do, don't we? Yeah. Hello, this is James, and this is an edit point. That thing that I said was happening this week on Big Sandwich, we actually covered the Isaiah Bradley comic story, which ties into Falcon and Winter Soldier, the show. You've seen it, maybe.

Anyway, I just thought I'd say that so you know, and then we all know. I mean, I already say that. So you know, and then we all know. I mean, I already knew, but now you know. Okay. All right. We talked about this last week. We had a lot more fun. We had a lot of fun talking about Commando a couple of weeks ago.

Yeah, I don't know. We might break from some comic book stuff and do some other things because there's another one. Maybe it's next week or week after. I can't remember. There's another one coming up soon we've got to record. We haven't decided yet, so if you've got suggestions, let us know. Let us know.

And it's not Mortal Kombat. We're not doing any more Mortal Kombat. The Mortal Kombat tank is full. Yes, it is. But we will come back at some point. That's exactly right, folks. We've got some T-shirts on tpublic.com. Just search for the Weekly Planet.

Don't look on eBay like my dad did and discover there's like a bootleg Weekly Planet T-shirt guy selling bootleg Weekly Planet T-shirts. Excuse me? Yeah. If you look up Weekly Planet Cartoon Man T-shirt. What? It's just a guy. They're selling them.

I think it's in the UK maybe. Wow. There you go. Well, I feel burnt. I know, right? Weekly Planet Cartoon Man. Yes. I don't even know what to make of this.

No, I can't find it. Okay, I'll find it. But anyway, in the meantime, what I'm saying is good. I'm finding Popeye t-shirts. That's incredible. I found this horrifying Bart Simpson's mask. Folks, you can get them on TeePublic. Don't get them there.

No. Or pick up one of the posters. I cannot find this at all. Oh, here it is. Son of a bitch. I cannot find this at all. Oh, here it is. Son of a bitch.

It says, the description is, Weekly Planet Clean Superhero Cartoon Men T-Shirt Top T. Wow. £8.99 to £11.99. Rip off. That print will be like a very low res screenshot of the real thing. So don't get it from there. Don't get a proper one. Don't get it from there.

Unless you think it would be funny to get a bootleg. Yeah, we don't give a shit. We the real thing. So don't get it from there. Don't get a proper one. Don't get it from there. Yeah. Unless you think it would be funny to get a bootleg. Yeah, we don't get a shit. We don't care. Folks, you can also thank, as I'm going to thank. Here we go. Very smooth. The Brute and the Basilisk. Yeah.

For all our musical themes. And that is the whole show. It is, isn't it? Next week, a new thing. A new and different thing. All new, all different. I don't know what it is. All new, all different.

Weekly Planet. We're rebooting. Are we? Yeah. We're back to episode one? Maybe. Maybe don't know what it is. All new, all different. Weekly Planet, we're rebooting. Are we? Yeah. Move back to episode one? Maybe. Maybe we will. Maybe episode zero.

Really muck with the bloody podcast feeds. And then we start going backwards. Yeah. Negative one. Yep. Oh, you know, one week we should do Weekly Planet episode one million. Set in the far-flung future. People are like that.

So we're dead? Yeah, we're dead. Silence. Yeah. And we don't release it because nobody hit record. So it's just nothing. Yeah. But Collins would do great show notes.

Oh, my God. Absolutely. He would make it the perfect. People would be like, this is the best episode they've ever done. Maybe he'd assemble it, like using old clips and like with AI technology. He could, if anyone could. That's right. All right.

Thanks again, everybody. See you next week. Grab that gem, you guys. We will see you next week. And goodbye. Anyway, I'm just going to buy one of these weekly Planet Clean superhero cartoon mantis top tees. I'm going to get one too.
