Red hot comic book movie news. Shooting up your bowl. The Weekly Planet. The Weekly Planet. Welcome back everybody to another episode of The Weekly Planet where we talk movies and comics and TV shows. My name is James, also known as Mr. Sunday and with me as always is my co-host Nick Mason. Hello, it's good to be back. Certainly is.

I took a week off because I was on autopilot last week. Don't remember any of it. It was fine. I thought it went really well. Great. Yeah, I love it when you're in like agony. You're terrific. Yeah, I think the went really well. Great. Yeah, I love it when you're in agony. You're terrific. Yeah.

I think the listeners do too. Oh, they absolutely love it. But I did go to the doctor the next day and I said, Doc, I've got this pain. It starts here in my head. It goes down to my neck. It just comes on all of a sudden. Yep.

Hard to focus. Difficult. It makes my life kind of difficult. And he said, solution is simple. Just listen to the Weekly Planet podcast. kind of difficult. And he said, solution is simple. Just listen to the Weekly Planet podcast.

It's just a fun, irreverent look at pop culture news and reviews. Did you stop him or did you just let him kind of go? I mean, he was talking sense. And he's like one of the hosts, James. He's like, yeah, you know, whatever. He said that? Yeah, and then he said, but co-host Nick Mason, he's just on fire. Like he's on it.

Like when he gets into one of his little riffs or japes. So like at the start of an episode. Yeah, like one of those. Like he said someone simply cannot feel pain when they're listening to co-host Nick Mason being really funny. And I said, but doctor, I am co-host Nick Mason and I agree with everything you say. And then you left. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But then he was like, do you want some cocaine lozenges on the way out? co-host Nick Mason, and I agree with everything you say. And then you left. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But then he was like, do you want some cocaine lozenges on the way out? And I'm like, yeah, I love this weird Victorian era doctor that I have. Very good. Well, I'm glad you're back to fighting form or at the very least have a crippling cocaine addiction. That's right. This week on the show we are going to talk about Jungle Cruise

and you can jump to that straight away if you want. You probably wouldn't want to. But you think you might. You might want to. You might be a big jungle head. And that's fine. Maybe one of the Jungle Brothers. That's right.

That rap group. That rap group, yeah. I don't remember much of them. What song did they have? I couldn't tell you off the top of my head. Neither could they. That's not important. There's time codes also for all the news we're going through.

Bat Fleck is back. J.K. Simmons is back. If I not important. There's time codes also for all the news we're going through. Batfleck is back. J.K. Simmons is back. If I may, how long do you think it takes for there to be like a fully dedicated fandom to something? Like before somebody sets up a group and they're like, we're the jungle heads. That's a great question. Yeah. Like, well, depending. You'd have to reach a certain level of popularity.

But even then, it doesn't need to be that big, does it? And also, sometimes I feel like the cosplayers will come out and they'll be like, I'm doing a rock with these little suspenders. Oh, yeah? Like before the movie comes out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're like, I've done it already. I've done it already.

You're talking about these little suspenders. These little suspenders. I do want to ask you about these little clothes. Okay, sure. It's got a couple of little outfits, doesn't it? Yeah, everybody's got little outfits. One's a spoiler, which I won't get into. Predator news.

Oh. Diehard news. Oh. Sweet Tooth news. Oh. Die Hard news. Oh. Sweet Tooth news. Oh. Bunch of Netflix stuff. Oh. Which we'll go through.

Some Star Wars news, your favourite. Mm-hmm. Trailers. Trailers all day. Honk. David Ayer talking about his cut of The Suicide Squad. Yeah. Some Doctor Who news and also-

Doctor Hughes. Hughes, yes. And also big news over at Disney and Scarlett Johansson HQ. Oh, the biggest news of the week. My goodness. And then we've got some Black Panther news and some Hawkeye news to follow up on. Again, Collings puts the stuff in every week, doesn't he?

He knows what's good for him. Yeah, that's right. Which he, you know. I think he does. He's on top of everything else. He would know what's good for him because he's very talented and he knows what he's doing, so he'd definitely know what side his bread's buttered on. You know what you know he's very he would know it's good for him yeah because he's very talented and he you know knows what he's doing so he definitely know what side his bread's buttered on you know what i mean you're shaking your fist as you do that yeah

very good all right let's get into it that's how i butter my bread with a shake of the fist you butter the back side of your bread and then you i hold the butter knife like i'm gonna stab some like do a downward stab okay and then i put some butter on it and then I just sort of. Yeah, right. That's interesting. Attack the bread, yeah. Is that, why do you do it like that though? Because of the cocaine lozenges.

Yeah, of course. That makes a lot of sense. Batfleck is back, Mason. And by that I mean he's not really back because the real Ben Affleck is on a boat in Italy with Jennifer Lopez or something. That's exactly right, yeah. But. He's like, why not?

Our world's falling apart. Let's do this again. Why not? Give us a shit. But his stunt double was seen on a Bat motorcycle filming in wherever they're filming the current Flash movie, which is mostly just a Batman movie it seems at this point. It really is, yeah.

So it's the Batman stunt double. It's a new Bat suit, which I quite like. So it's reminiscent of the bat flex suit. Yes, and it even has goggles on it. Nice. Well, he's on a motorcycle. Yeah, that's right. And he's even out during the daytime.

I don't know about all this daytime motorcycling that Batman's been doing. Maybe it'll be day for night. I hate that. It doesn't look good. Maybe they'll CGI a really bad, styrofoamy Gotham City over everything we're seeing. That's fine with me. I love that. It seems like

they're going, well, the Batman has a motorcycle scene in it, so we're actually going to do a better The Batman motorcycle scene than The Batman is going to do. Oh, competing Batman motorcycle scenes. Or maybe Warner's has like some really lucrative motorcycle branding sponsorship deal and we're going to pack a motorcycle into every one of these.

Everybody's on a motorcycle now. You're not going to believe how many motorcycles we have. So, man, you lost your powers. You're going to be a motorcycle into every one of these. Everybody's on a motorcycle now. You're not going to believe how many motorcycles we have. Superman, you lost your powers. You're going to be on a motorcycle now. Can I just walk? Get on this motorcycle. Motorcycle's got a cape on it. It's a Mercedes motorcycle maybe.

We're still working out the deal, Superman. Get on that goddamn bike. It looks like they're going to CGI the front wheel because it's got some tracking dots on it. Maybe they'll give it one big bat wheel. You know what I mean? Not made of bats. It's got a living bat on it just screaming and flailing.

I love it. I think it's really over the top and kind of comic book-y and block-y and weird and impractical. That's why I love all the bat vehicles. Just insane. We've mentioned this many a time, but I feel like it is a shame that the Affleck Batman didn't get a lot to work with because he is the most comic book-y looking version.

Doing it forever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It just looks so good and it's a shame that you've got some bad material to work with. My favourite Bat cycle, though, and I think you'll agree with me, it's a very famous one, is the one from the 60s series that's got a little sidecar for Dick Grayson. Yeah, for sure. That's the best one. Just a regular motorbike, maybe even a tricycle with a little sidecar on it. So perhaps you're suggesting maybe they could add that in post to

this one. Yeah. But it's just got like Joker graffiti on the side. It's a memorial now. It's a tomb. It's got a wreath in it. Sounds fun. Yeah. I love fun. I also love, Mason, that according to Deadline, J.K. Simmons is in negotiation to return as Commissioner Gordon in HBO's Batgirl series.

Cool. So we talked about last week is it going to be like the Jeffrey Wright-iverse because they're also doing a HBO series, I think. But the Batgirl movie, which was cast last week, that means J.K. Simmons is coming back, which means some of this universe still exists or something, whatever they're doing. Whatever they're doing.

I don't know what they're doing. The bits we like, we're doing those. So what do you think about J.K. Simmons coming back? Love it. Do you love that he'll have a wig? Do you love that about him? Yeah, I love that about him. I don't like him in wigs unless it's the J. Jonah Jameson wig.

I'm like, just get away from that. He looks great bald. We've all accepted it. He's clearly fine with it. Yeah. What are we doing? I don't know. I really like the Jim Gordon.

What did it look like in the previous movie? I can't remember. Was he wearing a hat? Yeah, he was mostly wearing a hat, but I think there was a scene where he wasn't. And that may have been the Whedon cut, but I've got no idea. I don't know anything. I like a slightly too big 70s haircut. Okay, sure.

It's kind of got a bit of a shag to it. A bit of a shag? It's orange because he, you know, he's- This guy's not doing any of that, Mason. He should. I can imagine that, I guess. He's not doing any of that. Anyway, it's neither here nor there.

Speaking of something they're not doing- Go on. Die Hard 5 has been cancelled. Forever. It's done. Yep. Who cares? Haven't been good.

Same, yeah. Well, I didn't mind 4. We've talked this to death, but I couldn't get through five. I'll tell you that much. It was bad. Well, I mean, I still haven't gone to it even though it is free on Disney Plus now. Is it free or does it cost you time? It costs you time.

That's true, yeah. And technically it's not free because you pay for Disney Plus, Mason. Technically, Mason, you pay a monthly subscription fee. And even if you share an account, somebody obviously is paying for that. Even the electricity that you use in your television, it's technically not free, Mason. I like this guy. I don't.

I get a message from this guy every few days, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. But speaking of old properties coming back, Dan Trachtenberg, you might know from Cloverfield 2. Oh, that's who that is. Okay, right. Which I think is the best Cloverfield movie, the one in the bunker. I mean, I think the first one hasn't aged well for casting reasons probably.

Okay, sure. But, you know, like found footage and whatever. I like the first one. I think it's good. But I think probably the second one has stood the test of time better in that it's more about there's there's better yeah there's better acting in it sure there's more memorable acting in it i think as opposed to like oh look out look out oh look at the spiders yeah there's a big cloverfield

and then the third cloverfield monster look out there's a big cloverfield monster do you remember in the third one they went through time and everybody got Cloverfield dimensions? Yeah, I forgot about that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because the second one's set in another dimension and then the third one attempts to tie them in all together. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it didn't work.

Remember how they dropped that? They were like, it was the Super Bowl ad spot and they went, new Cloverfield coming. It's on Netflix right now. Yeah. Remember that? Yeah. And then we were like, yes.

Then we watched it. We went, no. Yeah. This isn't very good, actually. Anyway. I can't even remember. It's a spaceship and the guy had the spaceship core in him. That's right.

But that's the thing because I can't. There's a man stuffed with worms. Was there? Yeah, he had a worm farm and then they merged dimensions. Oh, that's right. Yeah, yeah. And they cut him open and he was filled with all the worms. It's interesting that that movie is so bizarre and nonsensical,

but I've also forgotten all of it. I think it would have made more sense if, I think they cut it into a Cloverfield movie. I think there's probably a better version of that that makes more sense. Or at least the not Cloverfield version. I'm indifferent. Yes, I am also indifferent. But.

And at the end it's like, it's the Cloverfield monster. He's back. Just like in the movie Cloverfield they said. You guys seen that one? It's even bigger. It was bigger. It was bigger. It's bigger. Look how big this is.

Yeah, yeah. Predator 5, though. He's working on Predator 5, which is technically a Predator prequel. Where do you put the 5 in that? The P. Five Redditor? Five Redditor, yeah. It focuses on five Redditors from the website Reddit,

and they're being pursued by the Predator. Maybe you'd put it. He just waits for them to all line up and he shoots them with the plasma gun. Maybe it would be the five would be where the D is. So preferator? No, that doesn't work. None of this works. Anyway, I actually just typed it into my notes to be like,

what's this going to look like? I need to visualize things. I'm a visual learner, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. Anyway, here we go. This is what it's about. I'm a visual learner. Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. Anyway, here we go. This is what it's about. It goes back. I'm a learner of just saying the thing over and over again

until maybe there's a joke in it. Yeah. Predator 5? Perfect. Yeah. It goes back to what made the- Wait, no, it can't be that because then that's just Predator 5. Yes, it is.

I mean, it makes the most sense. Predator 5. Predator 5. It goes back to what made the original Predator movie work. It's the ingenuity of a human being who won't give up, who's able to observe and interpret, basically being able to beat a stronger, more powerful, well-armed force. It's actually more akin to The Revenant than it does any film

in the Predator canon. You'll know what I mean once you've seen it. I think it's the pirate gun explanation from Predator 2. Remember the Emory's like, you killed a Predator, fucking have this pirate gun. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, we've got a bunch of these, but you can have this one. So what you're suggesting is this ends with the guy being killed and they take his gun.

They take his pirate gun. No, well, it's a woman, but I think, not necessarily, but I think maybe they trade weapons. Maybe they kill a different person, but it's the first Predator. So I think, and if it's the Revenant, it's set kind of, it could be a pirate-ish kind of era. Someone's going to fight a bear. Someone's going to fight a I think, and if it's the Revenant, it's set kind of, it could be a pirate-ish kind of era. Someone's going to fight a bear.

Someone's going to fight a bear. I still haven't seen the Revenant. You see the Revenant? Yes. And? Fights a bear. Does he fight a bear? No, he's mauled by a bear.

He's mauled by a bear. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Good stuff. Let's do some Netflix news, Mason. I've got a few things to go through here. A few things to get off your chest about Netflix? Not really. I mean, because you get it for free, so. Mason. Mason, Mason, got a few things to go through here. A few things to get off your chest about Netflix? Not really. I mean, because you get it for free, so.

Mason. Mason, Mason, Mason. I complained about something you get for free. It's all just free stuff. Mason, Mason, Mason. Yes. So sweet. This is my new character, Guy Who Never Learns Any Lessons.

Sweet Tooth is renewed for season two. I thought it was. And great. Really good. Really liked it. You know what's not coming back? What's that? Which was apparently going to be a franchise.

Six Underground. Oh, the Michael Bay. I was just thinking about that the other day. And? For about 10 seconds. I attempted it. Yeah. And then I went, I don't need this.

This is actually costing me time. Yeah. And electricity. You know, et cetera. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't. I just remember there's a bit in a car, everybody's screaming, and I thought I don't need that in my life, even if it is free,

which it is. Mason. Mason, Mason, Mason. Yes, yes, Jase. I hated it. Like the five minutes that I saw, just the parkour guy and the – just hated it. Just hated everything about it.

It was awful. Also. What would you rather watch? You have to watch a sequel. Yep. Six Underground sequel. Yep. Seven Underground.

Do I have to see the first one? You have to watch the original again in its entirety. Not again because I haven't seen it. Okay. We've got to watch it for the first time. Yep. And take notes. And leave a letterboxd review.

Yeah, right. Or Thunder Force, the Melissa McCarthy superhero movie. Look, if I had to hazard a guess without looking it up, I'd imagine Thunder Force is a lot shorter. Okay. And I also managed to get through more Thunder Force. That is true, yeah. I don't think that speaks to the quality of either of those films.

Oh. But Thunder Force. What can you do because it's free service? Mason. Yes. Mason Mason In more Netflix news Oh yeah

They apparently are going to require vaccines for cast and crew for US productions Okay cool I mean what is this George Orwell's 1984 but also

good That's a good thing Sounds good It's firing up the Delta variant so you know I'm getting vaccine next week I got it

I got it booked in Nice So I'm excited to head down. I've got it booked in. Nice. So I'm excited to head down and get my bloody 5G bloody. The great thing is it's free. It's a free service. Yes, it is. There we go.

I knew I'd get one right eventually. But Mason. Yes. Technically, I drive my car there and petrol is not a free commodity. Ever heard of taxes? I know it's catching. I'm the guy as well now. I thought you were telling, like you were correcting me with petrol that I got right off my petrol with taxes.

Oh, maybe. Yeah, you could do that. Yeah. Anyway, I'm excited to get that. And then I'm going to get another one and whatever. Have you had both yet? I've had one. That's exciting.

Next week is the second one. Excellent. And apparently they're looking at, hey, maybe you can get a third one. I saw some news. It's like you get a third one. You feel great. All right then. Yeah.

Film chief over at Netflix as well, Scott Stuber, acknowledged also that. Any relation? To Stuber the movie. The movie Stuber. Yeah, it is. They're first cousins. Yep, that's right.

Which is really exciting. Yeah, it'd be great for family reunions, you know. You seen that movie? No. It's all right. Yeah, I know. I've heard it's all right. It's all you need.

It's all you need in your life. Yeah, I think it's all right. You know, it's got some moments. He acknowledged in an interview that their movies are not very good. He said you have to be more consistent. Excuse me. Yeah, he said you have to be more consistent at making these movies more culturally relevant and putting them in the zeitgeist,

among other quotes and whatever. I mean, he said, you know, obviously it's a free service so you can't expect too much, but. Mason. Yes. Yes, James. Mason, Mason, Mason. But I think that's an interesting thing to say.

Isn't it though? Because he's, I mean, they'd have to know, and I'd imagine their numbers are reflecting that their movies are generally not very good and they need to make better movies. Well, they don't have to make better movies maybe because people, you know, maybe they've done their research and they're like,

okay, well if we, if we make a really, if we make a middling movie, we get X thousand number of new subscribers. And if we make an incredible movie, we still get X thousand number of subscribers. So why bother? But I don't, I think because they've got Spielberg now, right?

Or his production company. And I think when you get somebody like that or you get someone for like the Irishman, for Scorsese, that actually drives people to the platform. But if you release Thunder Force, nobody's like, I'm signing up for Thunder Force. That's true, yeah. So I think it does pay for itself. Yeah.

Technically, maybe. You also said they're going to go after Christopher Nolan. They're going to go right after him? They're going to kill him. Oh, God. That's what he said. This is a candid interview. He hated the movie Tenet.

He said it was supposed to revolutionise cinema and bring people back, but it didn't, and now the Delta variant is here, and he's like, I'm going to kill him. I'm going to go out and I'm going to kill him. He says that he's going to bring people back to cinema, but I don't work in cinema. I work in Netflix. It's the opposite of cinema, so I'm going to kill him.

I'm going to kill this guy. If you can quote me on that. Hey, can we cut this out of the interview no it's too late is it huh you're reading this in print this is on a live stream on netflix so he said he's an incredible filmmaker i'm going to do everything i can this is killing yes which i think is it's a good strategy also because he's thinking of leaving Warner Brothers because of what they did with the HBO stuff. He's like, this is bullshit and I don't think I'll work with them again. And Netflix is like, hey, Chris, we will definitely give you a cinema release

for your next movie. We've hired out a cinema. We've hired one out. One screen. The magic of cinema. Yep. We're going to get you in there. Then we're going to burn get you in there. Yeah.

Then we're going to burn it down in glorious bastard style. We're going to get Eli Roth to run in with a machine gun. He's going to shoot you and the whole thing's going to burn down. It's an homage. Are you in? Because it's an homage. So, look, the thing is you'd have to give this – if I was Christopher Nolan or I was courting Christopher Nolan,

let's say, maybe – Which is it? Which one are you in this in this absurd play you've invented you're both people are you i can play i've got rage i could do dual roles yes you could that's true um so i would give him like you can do a tiktok video where you come in from different sides yeah we go on different sides oh hello hello that right. He's wearing a tie. Maybe I'm wearing a similar suit. No, you're wearing a T-shirt that says Netflix on it. You're wearing a black T-shirt that's got Netflix on it. It's been like iron-on printed onto your T-shirt.

Excellent. It's crooked. It's askew. Or maybe it's just my chest. I don't know. That's right. Anyway, I'd give him like the budget that he wanted, $200, whatever it is.

And then I'd also guarantee that cinematic window, which is unusual for Netflix, but you'd have to. You couldn't get him by being like, you're going to make a big streaming movie. You couldn't get him in with that. And then I'd say. We tricked you. Yep.

We're going to burn the cinema down, like we said earlier. And you signed it, so you have to go. That's right. And then. We want a way to go. Isn't that the way you'd want to go. That's right. And then. What a way to go. Isn't that the way you'd want to go, Christopher Nolan? Cinema. Yeah.

We're going to drop the Hollywood sign on you. One letter at a time. That's right. You're going to start at the H and you're going to run. We're going to drop the letters in order. We'll see if we can catch you. I reckon they'd get him by Hollywood. I think so.

I mean, in those shoes that he wears, those formal dress shoes, you'd get him easy, mate. Yeah. And I think also to get people to sign up for Netflix, you'd have a shorter release window and you'd be like, can you make like a 30-minute primer or something that's exclusive to Netflix? And that way you kind of get people over for that. It's kind of essential viewing if, you know, you go to the movie.

And you can be like we're playing with different genres and trying out new technology and you can do whatever version of this you like. I think that's what I'd come at him with. And a knife. You know what I would sell it as to consumers? I'd be like Christopher Nolan. Yes.

And you can turn the subtitles on whenever you want. That's the bonus here. Do you think he'd like that? Yeah, he'd love it. I don't think he would like it. No, he'd be like, my soundscapes are very complicated. Shut up, Christopher Nolan. I think you mean loud.

They are loud. All right. You know what I just thought? I thought that I just. You know what I'd love to see? A million degrees in here, Mason. Christopher Nolan, but they make him do all the dumb snack wars and hot ones and all the...

I could see him doing hot ones, though. Yeah, right? Yeah. This is very hot. That's what he'd say. This one's not as hot, I feel. Maybe I'm just desensitised at this point. Anyway, I hate this.

Oh, no, da bomb. I'm actually not a fan of this show at all. I've never heard of it or you. I don't have a phone. I write everything down on a notepad. Ooh, I have to try these hostess ding-dongs for snack wars. Never seen an episode. I'm sure it's amazing and incredible.

Bob Odenkirk collapsed on the set of Better Call Saul. He did, yeah, and the internet rallied and was like, don't. Not this one. Kill someone else. Yeah, that's right. Be all right, Bob Odenkirk. And he is apparently, so that's good. He did suffer a minor heart attack.

Yeah. His family sent out messages, as has he at this point, which is terrific. Yeah. Good. That's great, yeah. He's alive. He got really fit.

I was just thinking maybe that's what saved him. Yeah, well, that's great. He's alive. He got really fit. I was just thinking maybe that's what saved him. Yeah, well, that's true. Maybe if he just skipped doing nobody, then he'd be all not feeling great and have a heart attack and keeling over. So this is good. This is great stuff. For you, Bob Odenkirk.

I mean, is it the final season? I think it might be as well. Yes, I think it is. Have you been keeping up? No, I'm way behind. I'm years behind. It's a great show, man. It's real good. I mean, you probably know that. So, yeah, good on you, Bob Odenkirk. Have you seen, I think it might be as well. Yes, I think it is. Have you been keeping up? No, I'm way behind. It's a great show, man. It's real good.

I mean, you probably know that. So, yeah, good on you, Bob Odenkirk. Have you seen, I think it went up on Twitter, there's a I think you should leave sketch with Bob Odenkirk. They got Bob Odenkirk for this one sketch where the main guy, he's with his daughter at a diner and the daughter's like, can we go to the ice cream store? And he's like, oh, you know, it's kind of cold today

so I think all the ice cream's frozen so they can't sell it. They've got to close the ice cream store. And Bob Odenkirk's like a, he's at the next table and he leans in and he's like, yeah, that's actually true. And so the dad gives him that little wink of like, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then Bob Odenkirk

just starts making up like elaborate lies this guy has to keep agreeing with. And it turns out this guy, like, owns every classic car and, like, he's got a beautiful wife. Actually, he owns doubles of every classic car. And it's just, he's just very good in the sketch. Yeah. Well, he's got a comedy background, doesn't he?

Yeah. Funny, funny stuff. And alive. And alive. Double threat. Funny and alive. Funny and alive. Star Wars News stuff. And alive. And alive. Double threat. Funny and alive. Funny and alive. Star Wars News Mason.

Go on. We haven't had much recently, I don't think. Unless there was a big block of it last week and I don't remember it at all. It's entirely possible. I don't remember either. Meena Masoud, who played Aladdin. Oh, yes. In Aladdin, who I quite like, is going to be, it's official, it seems,

because what's her name? She plays Ahsoka. Oh, he's going to be Ahsoka. No, yes. In Aladdin, who I quite like. He's going to be, it's official, it seems, because what's her name? He plays Ahsoka. Oh, he's going to be Ahsoka. No, Mason. Rosario Dawson. He says he's going to be Ezra Bridger from Rebels. The little one. The little one.

He grew up. Did he? Okay. And then Lars Mikkelsen, who voices Grand Admiral Thrawn in that series, is going to be Grand Admiral Thrawn. Whoa. You might know Lars Mikkelsen as Brother of. Go on.

No, that's it. Figure it out. I'm holding your hand through this. Okay. You need to bring some of your own information. Okay. I'm just going to do a little CSI just in my mind. Okay.

He's on two laptops. Spin of my test tubes. I'm doing a laser. Yeah, yeah. Putting a laser on a grid of lasers. Yep, yep, yep. Bob Odenkirk? Correct. That's what I thought.

He's Bob Odenkirk's brother. Anyway, he was also a villain in Sherlock, I want to say. Was he? Yeah, he was someone. I bet I'd know if I saw him. He was one of those guys who's like mean Sherlock. You know, it's like Sherlock, you've met your match, it's mean Sherlock.

No. Remember? No. Yeah, it's good stuff. Sherlock's already mean Sherlock. No, mean Sherlock Mason. Now it's time for trailers. Even more meaner Sherlock.

Oh. Meaner Sherlock. And he shoots him in the head at the end, remember? No. Bam, bam, got you. He stores secrets. He's like, I know all your secrets And they're like, we'll get into his server But his server was his mind palace

He had a mind palace Oh yeah, okay, yeah, yeah That doesn't matter Because nobody thinks about that show anymore Trailers, what up, Mason? New segment Nice I've modernized it

Yeah, I like how you've Yeah, this is very good actually, yeah Trailers, what up? Yeah, yeah Trailers on fleek? Sure Yeah, yeah So, got a few Trailers not shirgy What's that? up? Yeah, yeah. Trailer's on fleek? Sure. Yeah, yeah. Trailer's not churgy.

I don't know what that is. It's like slightly off-trend. Churgy? I don't want that. Churgy. We're never that. No. We've got House of Gucci, which looks very interesting. Everyone in the Gucci family.

Oh, trailer's so Gucci. Very good. New sandwich. I love it. Yeah. Is everyone in that family awful? I think so, yeah. Yeah.

And maybe trying to murder each other? Seems that way. Yeah. King Richard, which was the Serena Williams and- How do you feel that Jared Leto was- What's his face, Gucci? I love my old man makeup. It's my favorite thing.

They could have got a real old man. A lot of people this week were like, get Paul Giamatti. Perfect. Good point. Right? He was doing Jungle Cruise. He couldn't do it. That's true.

It's a great point. I also love the backhanded tweets that are like, this is a razor of old, ugly bald men. Get Paul Giamatti in. Paul Giamatti's scrolling. He's like, oh, what? You could have got the ugliest man in Hollywood, Paul Giamatti. That's right.

He's been ugly for years. Right? I think he looks like a normal man. I also think that. I mean, it's just maybe he's not traditionally Hollywood beauty standards Maybe he's not Jon Hamm Fucking so what You're right

If you're listening to this You're not fucking Jon Hamm either Get off his back Jon Hamm's tuning in He's like Oh yeah You know what he used to be Hamm Oh no way

Mad men more like bad men Fucking got ya Stop listening Jon Hamm Get out of here He's so great He is pretty great I like him. Also very funny.

So King Richard, Venus and Serena Williams' father, and then War Epic. There was short trailers for What If and Shang-Chi, which I just kind of quickly went, yep, yep, I got that. I don't need to know that anymore. We get it. And Dexter Newblood, where he's like, what's he up to? He doesn't want to see that blood, but it's out there, and he's like, got to murder again. Newblood, where he's like, what's he up to? He doesn't want to see that blood.

But it's out there and he's like, got to murder again. Newblood, please. But, of course, the big trailer that both of us want to talk about for slightly longer than the other trailers is Ghostbusters. Afterlife. Whatever the new one's called. How did you feel? Ghostbusters, no jokes, please.

No jokes in this movie. No jokes, Busters. Wait, would that mean there would be jokes because they're b, no jokes, please. No jokes in this movie. Thank you. No jokes, busters. Wait, would that mean there would be jokes because they're busting no jokes? No jokes, busters? Because they're going to a party and they're like, there's no jokes here. You're all under arrest. Maybe they should go to a party supply shop and just level it. Yeah, why not?

I don't know. Anyway, you're a primo Ghostbusters fan. It's one of your favorite movies. You love everything about it. You love the sequel. You love the video game sequel. You love the rebooted whatever that was. I think you loved that one, didn't you?

I loved the real Ghostbusters. You loved the other Ghostbusters. The other Ghostbusters with the haunted car. I loved that. And the gorilla, maybe. Did you play Ghostbusters 3 video game? Yes, I did on the Switch, yeah. Did you finish it?

No. Wow. There we go. It's good though. I've heard it's great. What do you think of this trailer? Did it take you back to Ghostbusters? Well, it certainly did its best to take us back to Ghostbusters because it did have, it was like remember the Hell Dogs? Remember those? They're back, baby. Remember different monsters? Remember

Slimer? Remember the, whatever the ghost Titanic people? I don't know. Were they in it? No. Remember when the Titanic arrived or something? Maybe that was in too. Shut up, Mason. Listen. Anyway, the Hell Dogs are in this. Little Stay Puft Marshmallow Men

are in this. Yep, yep, yep. What else is in this? Again, no jokes. There are no jokes in this. There will be jokes, right? You'd hope so. And at the end, Dan Aykroyd's like, original Ghostbusters here? They were like, okay, interest is beginning to wane on this movie that has been on the release schedule for 100 years. Yes.

So let's give us a little more of a tease. So we've got Annie Potts as the secretary. Looks great, by the way. Janine. Yeah. And we got a tiny little tease of- Was she married to Egon? No.

Or married to Rick Moranis? Did they start dating or start kissing in one of those movies? I think they did. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If you're going to kiss someone, you've got to commit to that. So presumably they got married.

I hope they got back Rick Moranis. I know he's sort of working again. Yeah. Because his wife passed away and then he quit everything. But I think he's been like popping up in some stuff. Yeah. But I mean, first of all, the most interesting thing for me was that the trailer uh like the reveal at the end that we got we got dan akron as i know that's probably people already knew that yeah we got

dan akron as race dance is that on the version on youtube it immediately started adding those like hey if you like this video you'll be interested in this video so like as soon as he's like hey we're close whatever just all these bonus things started like there was no there was not even a fraction of a second for me to sit with his revelation and they're just like you want other trailers here's a screen full of other trailers click the trailers you idiots i'm like all right steady on did you click them all yeah clicked them all there you go yeah because i'm an idiot yeah it's free service though that's true technically mason you pay through it either through YouTube Red or the ads that you watch. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, just saying. Or somebody you do a podcast with like left their wallet on the table one time and you took their credit card out and you put it there. Is that true? Yeah. Well, I hope you've told that person what's been going on. Like you admitted fault. Maybe you repaid them some of the money.

Not some of it, all of it with interest. So some of the money you're saying? No. You reckon a person would be okay with some of the money. Not some of it, all of it with interest. So some of the money you're saying? No. You reckon a person would be okay with some of the money? I don't think so. I think they'd probably feel that was a pretty dishonest apology if I'm honest. That's what I think. Anyway, what I'm saying is I'd like all my money back, please.

My pockets were full and I put my wallet on the table. Well, what do you do? Yeah, right. If it's on the table, it's wallet on the table. Well, what do you do? Yeah, right. If it's on the table, it's literally on the table. That is very true. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Were you excited for Ghostbusters 5, 4? I wasn't.

I kind of wasn't before. And maybe we've discussed even that. I think it's a good trailer. That most people are coming back for it. But I did not know that. I had completely blanked that Dan Aykroyd is clearly back for this. Yep. Dan Aykroyd.

Dan Aykroyd. And probably others. Ernie Hudson probablyroyd. Dan Backroyd. And probably others. Ernie Hudson probably in this. They're all back. Everyone who's alive is back. Nice. Yeah, so that's cool. So that is cool.

I can't wait for people to go, better than 2016. Fucking shut up, everyone. Who cares? Anyway, it's very earnest, but it does look pretty good. I think there'll be more jokes in it. Yeah, I think so too. Whatever. Paul Rudd's in it. It's like I'm not look pretty good. I think there'll be more jokes in it. Yeah, I think so too. Whatever. Paul Rudd's in it.

It's like I'm not used to ghosts. I'm not used to Paul Rudd. I mean, he was alive in the 80s. Back to Paul Rudd. What am I even doing in this small town? He would have been like 16 in the 80s. Like I think he would have seen all of this. You know what I mean?

Well, yeah, it's interesting that, you know, the kids in this are like, what the heck is going on? This happened in the 80s? Yeah. My goodness. My goodness indeed. But again, I think they're sort of leaning heavily on in this are like, what the heck is going on? This happened in the 80s? Yeah. My goodness. My goodness, indeed. But again, I think they're sort of leaning heavily on the idea of like, well, a lot of, you know, this happened, but a lot of people think it's a hoax

or they were scam artists or what have you. Why are they trapping the ghosts? Are ghosts bad news? Yeah. But like, why? What's the law? Is there any? I feel like now they'd have to explain it and be like, well, they, you know, torture and you've tortured them for everything.

Well, it's interesting because they're supposed to be, like they start out as like paranormal, like they're invested, they're researching paranormal stuff. But then they do just jam them all into like the box, into the big box. Yeah. Which they seem to do again in this one. They have done it because they release a bunch, I think.

But they, maybe Egon, like maybe in between the previous movies, Egon would take one out every once in a while and study it or something. Yeah. Because otherwise you're just mushing around in there. Yeah. But I think, again, it kind of evolved into they're just pest exterminator guys. Yeah, cool. I don't care about that.

Whatever. Also, Rey's got a tattoo. What's the tattoo say? You can't see it. Crystal Skull. I mean, I probably says that. I couldn't tell because of all the pop-ups that happened. But if I had to guess, I think it's illegible.

Like I turned the quality up all the way. But if I had to guess, there's a scene from the first movie. Where a ghost sucks his dick? Yeah. So what do you think this is? That's right. What would the tattoo say? I don't know.

I think it would be a picture or it would say a ghost sucked my dick. FYI. FYI, yeah. I mean, they're not all evil, are they? It says FYI. It's got attention ghosts. FYI, if I'm asleep, I'm up for it. Just go right ahead.

But sorry, what do you think it really is? There's a scene in the first one where Ray and Winston are in the car. They're having a smoke and they're talking about all the stuff from Revelation and how they open the seventh seal and the sky turned black and the moon turned red or whatever it is. I reckon it's probably that. Yeah, okay. Something like that.

Cool. Love it. And that's his occult bookstore from Ghostbusters 2. Oh, I don't remember. It's the same. He's got a red phone. He picks up the red phone. Does he really? Yeah. I don't remember any more Ghostbusters. We Oh, I don't remember. It's the same, he's got a red phone. He picks up the red phone. Does he really?

Yeah. I don't remember any of my Ghostbusters. We'll cover him for Caravan of Garbage. Speaking of, this week is Suicide Squad. Yes. And we're taking a little bit of a break. That's apparently out already. Oh, you mean Caravan of Garbage?

Yes. Yeah, but the Suicide Squad is out in some regions. Is it? Yeah. Oh, well, it's not here. That's true. And in the US, I think it's not either. Here's a fun fact for you, James.

I learned this week, the upcoming Spider-Man No Way Home is coming out in Australia nine days after everywhere else. That's not fun. I know. What do you mean? I'm going to throw my phone in the ocean and buy another one nine days later. Is that true? Apparently.

They're doing a Boxing Day release, aren't they? Maybe. Is that what's happening here? I think it might be, yeah. I'm going to fucking lose my mind, Mason. Are you fucking serious? That's what I read on the internet. I fucking hate when they do that.

I thought they stopped doing this. They used to do it when we were kids, and then they went to like, Australia became day before. Fuck. We had the power in our hands, James. Sony sometimes releases them a week before here. It's going to be after. Fuck.

That's awful news. It's awful news. I can't keep away from that. All right. It's going to I can't keep away from that Alright It's going to be everywhere Yeah Shit Maybe they'll have an early screening

And we can get in then Yeah okay We can only hope Who can I murder? Sorry that's unrelated Just thinking about that He's just writing it on the chalkboard That's terrible

Gotta get kale Gotta find someone to murder That's terrible news Anyway Caravan and Garbage Is taking a two-week break after Suicide Squad. Right, right, right. There's just been a lot going on, you know what I mean?

Been doing a lot of edits. We're just going to take a step back for a little bit, probably put up some other stuff and whatever. Some silly videos. That'll be fine, don't worry about it. Anyway, David Ayer came out this week about his Suicide Squad cut where somebody's like, David Ayer, Suicide Squad sucks. Mark, Suicide sucks.

Suicide sucks. I mean, it does, but I'm just trying to make an insult towards his movie. But if I had to make a specific point, yeah, it's about the movie alone. That's the main crux of what I was saying. That's right. That's the thing I'm most passionate about,

not the suicide thing. David A, I'm more like, David A, you suck, brother. I'm just trying some stuff out. I know you're in the room with me. Yeah, we appreciate it. I'm just trying some stuff out. I know you're in the room with me. Yeah, we appreciate it. I'm the head of Warner Brothers. So anyway, he does the whole thing about how he started and, you know, the life that he had and addiction

and all these things, and now he's made it in Hollywood, blah, blah, blah. But then he gets to the bit about Suicide Squad where it says, I put my life in a Suicide Squad. I made something amazing. My cut is intricate and emotional journey with some bad people who are shit on and discarded, a theme that resonates in my soul. The studio cut is not my movie. Read that again.

And my cut is not the 10-week director's cut. It's a fully mature edit by Lee Smith, standing on the incredible work by John Gilroy. It's all Steve Price's brilliant score with not a single radio song in the whole thing. It has traditional character arcs, amazing performances, a solid third act resolution, a handful of people have seen it. I never told my side of the story and never will.

I'm old school like that. So I keep my mouth shut and took the tsunami of something of some sometimes shockingly personal criticisms. I mean, he didn't entirely shut your mouth. You're allowed to say this. Don't get me wrong. But this isn't being like I just took my licks and I never said anything.

Yeah, right. You've been hinting at it. I am a stone statue. I shan't say anything at all except for this very, very long block of text. But don't get me wrong. Yeah, you'd be very pissed off. Yeah, yeah.

And now people are coming back at you being like, your movie sucks. And he's like, I didn't really even make a movie technically. I don't know why we released it. It's still me. The Head of Water Brothers, your movie sucks. Do you think we're going to get the cut though? I think we will eventually.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But they'll have to at least be clear of this new one. I reckon if David Ayer wants to get released, just get a photo of yourself with Zack Snyder. Yeah. Just be like, yeah, a couple of bros. And say, I'll kill him if they don't let me release him. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll kill your hero.

What a killing talk this week, isn't there? I read a bunch of the full disclosure. I went through a Facebook page of someone we don't like before the show and I read all their posts and memes and it just put me in a really bad head space. You're full of rage now. How long was I reading that 40 record? Maybe an hour. Was it?

Yeah. Fuck. Okay, that's bad. Your eyes glossed over and then they started, you know, when you see somebody in a cartoon, their eyes turn into like a slot machine. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Yeah. Your eyes started doing that.

Oh, that's good, isn't it? Yeah, it was really good. Yeah. Jodie Whittaker and showrunner Chris Chibnall are leaving Doctor Who. Oh. After season 13, there's going to be three specials in 2022, which is I think similar to what they did with Tenet. Tenet.

Tenet. You can do this. Pick one. Tenet. No, you picked the wrong one. It's too late though. David Tenet. Yes.

So, yeah, so the showrunner's leaving along with her. I haven't seen I watched the first one Like I skipped all the Capaldi And then I watched one of hers And I'm just not really on the Doctor Who train at the moment But Toot toot

I'm always interested to see what they're going to do next Do you know what I mean? To dip in and then dip out again Yeah Whatever they're doing There you go Excited or not excited? Yeah, no, you're right The same I think I'm excited to see Whatever they're doing. There you go. Excited or not excited? Yeah.

No, you're right. The same. I think I'm excited to see what they're going to do and I'm excited to see the possibilities that will not eventuate. I agree. Like with most seasons of Doctor Who. I agree. And don't they all get about three seasons now?

Yeah. Pretty standard stuff. She started 2017. So, yeah. There was some stuff that happened in the middle. Pandemic, Mason. Oh, there we go. Do you want to hear some?

I hope they get somebody else from Broadchurch. Broadchurch, yeah. But who? Olivia Colman? Oh, that's the new doctor. I'd say that. Why not? Yeah.

She wouldn't do it. One of those like colourful shacks at the beach. Oh, yeah. Like the kid was murdered in. Yeah. I don't know about that, Mason. I think that would be a bit controversial. Put a scarf on it.

That's what I'm saying, right? And he emerges out of the TARDIS. How? Very awkwardly. Except most of the episode. Just creak it out. Yeah. Chip it, paint off.

Yes. Love it. Doctor Who can be anybody. The Cybermen are quaking in fear of this little shack on the beach. That had a boy murdered in it or whatever? Yep, that's right. Really good stuff. Wall Street.

Okay, last call. It's a Mr. Whippy van. It's a Mr. Whippy van at the beach. Can't get out either, can it? No. No driver? No, no driver. I reckon it's got a regular driver.

Oh, okay. But the van is Doctor Who. Yep. But it has a guy. And he's the companion. Yeah. But the Doctor Who van will not let him out. He's stuck in there.

Survives on ice cream. Just eating ice cream. He's been like, please, I've eaten all the rum and raisin. No, he'd be down to rum and raisin really, wouldn't he, if anything. I'm down to rum and raisin. Sorry, you're drinking your drink. James, who knows how these freaks in the ice cream truck industry work. Maybe he's loving the rum and raisin.

It's the first thing that goes. Maybe something happens to your brain in the cold, James. I was going to say, but do you think like if you worked in ice cream, let's not get into King of Ice Cream. Let's not go down that road again. But you'd have to have an interesting flavor if somebody came at you, right? What's your favorite flavor? Or we could be like, I love a classic vanilla.

Would you do that? Or would you be like, actually, my favourite's this skewer or whatever? I think if you said classic vanilla, you'd have to be like, you'd have to be like,

you know, it's the Madagascan vanilla bean. You know, it's the very specific kind of... Like, I wish I didn't ask. That's right. I'd say to that person. Whoa.

Yeah, be like, Jesus, I thought you'd be interesting, but you're not. You're just like everybody else. Boring. Just a man trapped in a van. What's the Journal Mason?

This is a bit of a big story. It's got a few things to work through here. Are we going to solve this? No. No, we'll give it a go. No, it's gone to legal things. Is this the Scarlett Johansson thing? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We'll solve it. We'll solve it today. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Our decision is binding. Yes. So her and her people are suing Disney over an alleged breach in contract. Okay.

It says that Disney intentionally induced Marvel's breach of the agreement without jurisdiction in order to prevent Miss Johansson from realizing the full benefit of her bargain with Marvel as she alleges that her agreement with Disney's Marvel Entertainment guaranteed an exclusive theatrical release and her salary was based in large part on how the film performed at the box office. So it did have a massive drop-off. I don't think it would have been like the biggest movie

from Marvel's franchise. Did it get a cinema release at all? It did. We saw it at the cinema. Yeah, but we saw it on the media screen. Yeah. Oh, ours was the cinema window was us seeing it at a cinema. Yeah, but we saw it on the media screen. Yeah. Oh, ours was the cinema window. It was us seeing it at a cinema in Melbourne.

That's right. And they took the cost of like the choc-tops and the drinks out of her salary. She gets an annotated list. They're like, oh, James and Miso had a cocktail. So in between them. I didn't have a cocktail. So if they're charging you for a cocktail, I didn't actually take one of them.

Sorry, Scarlett. You said it was good though, didn't you? It's pretty all right. Yeah. So yeah, it had a huge drop off. I think if it had to come out in regular times or even if it had like the Fast and Furious release of like a month, because now Fast and Furious and new one is on streaming, would have done much better.

In regular times, I'd probably say it would have done like probably Ant-Man money at least. So the issue seems to be Scarlett Johansson's lawyers are saying that it should have had a longer screening period in the cinemas. Yeah, and no day and date, Disney Plus release date. Yeah, right, right, right. But Disney is saying that when those agreements, is Disney saying that when those agreements were signed, they have an official statement.

We didn't know that COVID was going to happen, so this is kind of an act of God situation? Well, imagine saying that, but like you're being a real dick about it. Oh, yeah, cool, cool. I can imagine that. So the other thing is it had a huge drop off second week. I mean, maybe it was because people didn't like it, but more likely it's because it was pirated.

Like it is the most pirated film. But also if you pay for it once, can you just watch it forever? Yeah. So like I've watched it. My wife's watched it. You know what I mean? So other people in my family have watched it because we share like a Disney Plus account. So anyway, it's free.

It's free. I literally paid money for that one, Mason. Oh, my God. Anyway. What a rube. You could have pirated it. I know. And you saw it at the cinema.

That one was free. Disney. God. Anyway. What a rube. You could have pirated it. I know. And you saw it at the cinema. That one was free. Disney. James. Disney. I mean, the petrol. No, but you got a lift. I got a lift. Yeah, that's true.

It's a good point. But then you owe Dave Lee. So, in a way, it has cost you something, hasn't it? He'll always have that over me. He'll have it all over you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My entire life. Disney said,

there's no merit whatsoever to this filing. The lawsuit is especially sad and distressing in its callous disregard for the horrific and prolonged global effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. That is fucking rich. Like, that is just... So what they're... Their parks are open,

and they're talking about callous disregard. So what they're saying is... The disregard. So what they're saying, the gist of what they're saying is, they're not saying it in exactly as many words, but the subtext of this is, well, Scarlett Johansson's already getting a lot of money and she should be lucky to get that amount of money. It's funny you should say that because it says, the release of Black Widow on Disney Plus with Premier Access has significantly enhanced her ability to earn additional compensation

on top of the $20 million she has received to date. So this is great exposure for you, Scarlett Johansson. They threw out her exact salary. So I guess they'd be like, you already earned $20 million and people will see that you earned $20 million and you're being selfish. But no, you owe her this money.

Here's the question that I had over this, and again, because people are taking sides on this, and a surprising number of people are being like, well, actually you've already been paid enough, so et cetera. And some people are like, well, it was agreed that you would get paid this amount of money and then the streaming would happen and the cinema release would happen. And then what I think is interesting is i wonder if this has happened before to other exactly actors like even other marvel actors but the circumstances of those and the the public perception of those people would mean that they they wouldn't make it public

like like if if disney decided they were going to underpay chris evans you know if they did that in the past chris evans agent would probably call up disney and Chris Evans, you know, if they did that in the past, Chris Evans' agent would probably call up Disney and be like, hey, you know this guy who is beloved by the public and he's literally Captain America and he visits sick kids in hospital. And he'll beat you up. And he could physically beat you up. Are you trying to cheat him out of his money

because we'll go public with this and people will be like, you know, Disney tries to... Beloved Chris Evans. Chris Evans' beloved, you know, Disney tries to... Beloved Chris Evans. Chris Evans' beloved, you know, America's Golden Boy kind of thing and Disney would probably fold. But is this a case of, well, she probably isn't going to do that many more Marvel movies and the public perception of Scarlett Johansson is maybe people don't like her.

As much at least, yeah. So let's just throw this out there and see if it'll go our way. Yeah. I think you're absolutely right. I think they've probably weighed up the numbers on this and thought that this would be the best course of action. Well, that's the thing. I reckon every time they probably weigh up the numbers.

They'd probably be like, Mark Ruffalo wants an extra million bucks. Should we air some dirty laundry or not? Can he beat us up? I don't know. But he's not Chris Evans fit. But maybe he's wearing that weird shoulder rig where he's half the Hulk. Maybe he could swing that at us. Is that good or bad though?

Could he even get through the door? But I guess the difference here is as well this is day and date stuff, which hasn't happened for other Marvel movies. Yeah, right. But it has happened for other Disney movies because there's rumblings that Emily Blunt and Emma Stone for both Jungle Cruise and Cruella. Cruella. Thank you.

I'm glad that you're doubting yourself over that now. I should. I should. They're also unhappy with this. And it's interesting because this isn't the one. This is only relatively recently and it also coincides with Bob Iger, your dad, stepping down. Bob Cruella is his name.

And Bob Chapek taking over. And I think he's, in doing this, he's burning talent. That's what I think. Yeah, right. Which sounds, talent sounds like a terrible, you know what I'm talking about. Like we're burning content. Exactly.

Any more content where this is coming from though, baby. You better believe it. But I think also, like you said, who else are they doing this to like if they they're doing it to somebody one of their biggest stars and one of the most famous actors in the world they'll do it to anybody and i mean we've seen in the past i think we haven't mentioned on the show that you know it's at one point fairly recently they purchased all the assets of a publishing company but according to them not their liabilities so they could continue to make a profit off the novels they were selling but not pay the people who wrote them exactly like that was that was their they attempted to do that so they're they're

doing it from like that level to the most bankable movie stars in the world so it could be everything yeah like and i feel like even if you don't like like Scarlett Johansson and you think she got paid too much or she's been paid enough or whatever. They all earn absurd amounts of money. I don't think that's the issue. But you've got to factor in that they're probably doing this to set designers. They're probably doing it to producers. They're probably doing it to writers.

They're probably being like, oh, actually, you wrote the script to this movie, but actually we changed a couple of sentences and character names. So we're actually going to take credit for this. You owe us money. Yeah. Well, you actually, you're going to pay us. They also had to, what are they called?

I've forgotten the word. Drinks. Had to the premiere. That's exactly right. He had to drink. Had to drink. And we also drank some water out of the faucet in the toilet. So you're going to have to take that out of your pay.

Anyway, Kevin Feige has a response. Oh. Well, this is why the Hollywood Reporter's editor. Two big birds. He's giving a bird to each party. Wow. Yeah, that's right. This is from, yeah, over at THR, Matthew Bologna, who says, Bologna, yeah, says,

Feige is a company man and not prone to corporate showdowns or shouting matches, but I'm told he's very angry and embarrassed. He's shouting into his baseball cap. That's right. He's done the rare take off the baseball cap and just shout. That's where all his ideas go. That's right. He just shouts his ideas into normally.

Yeah, that's right. Oh, no. They come out the hole in the back all refined. Newsletter reads in part, he lobbied Disney against the day and date planned for Black Widow hole in the back all refined. Newsletter reads in part, he lobbied Disney against the day and date planned for Black Widow preferring the big screen exclusivity and not wanting to upset his talent. And then they went, then the SHIT hit the fan, the movie started tanking and Johansson's team threatened litigation.

He wanted Disney to make things right, this right with her. Which I think also like if you do something like this to Kevin Feige, he'll leave and you need him. You need him, quite frankly. He's done the impossible. He got the lightning in a bottle, gave you a decade's worth of interlinked movies that you must watch all together, otherwise you don't get it.

If everything they made was bad from here on out, they could do that for 10 years. Yeah. Just coast for 10 years, really, and I'd probably go to most of them. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Because I'm a loser. Mason.

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. And those movies are free, so. Yeah. Mason. I mean, if you sneak in technically, they are. Yeah, that's right. You have to walk from home to not use petrol. But there's a moral cost, I guess. No, not to me.

I mean, but also they're Disney movies. One time. So that's where, but also they're Disney movies. One time. So that's where, but maybe they'd take that out of Scarlett Johansson's salary. But then people don't like Scarlett Johansson. Well, one time I saw The Haunting when I skipped school, I think when I was in high school, and then I didn't like it very much. So I snuck into another cinema and we watched American Pie for the second time. Another terrible movie.

Wow. So it was Freemason technically. When you say that, do you mean American Pie 2? No. Which they called American Pie for the second time in Australia. Did they? No. It was called American Pie 2 TOO.

Oh, very good. Two? Two? Question mark. And the two O's were boobs. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Very good. Anyway, we'll see how this plays out.

Also, apparently her people went to them and went like, you've got to pay us properly, and they didn't respond. So they kind of made her do this. Yeah, right. You know, so interesting. Just the sight of a stone wall, that's interesting. Yeah, bold. Yeah, we're actually busy right now because of the pandemic.

I don't know if you've heard of it. People are suffering. Yeah, all the people of Stonewall. That's interesting. Bold. Yeah, we're actually busy right now because of the pandemic. I don't know if you've heard of it. People are suffering. Yeah, all the people in our parks. We're just let in by the thousands every day. Just letting them in. And they've all got heart disease. You've seen those churros we serve? The big turkey legs.

Oh, my God. Bad news. It's not even turkey. It's just gristle. People are eating that. Just a big drumstick of gristle. Wow, you could work on that all day. You better believe it.

Chadwick Boseman, we've got updates of sorts of what's going to go on with his character in Black Panther 2. Go on. So this is via BPantherNews on Twitter. So there was some set photos that were taken or leaked where it's got two, like, pillars. Okay. And it's got some Wakandan words on it and apparently it translates to

T'Challa our hero, t'was an honor, Wakanda forever. So it seems like they're going to have him die in universe, which is probably a good idea. Yeah. Because if they're not recasting and they're not CGI-ing him on another person's face, just have him kind of go out with dignity and leave it like that. So there we go. And, you know, again, it is a bit morbid,

but they have sort of road tested the idea of in the comics of like other people can take over the role. Exactly. So, you know, it's not great news. No. But it's, you know, we'll see how it goes. And speaking of not great news, Hawkeye has a release date. Mason, just kidding.

Really looking forward to it. There was a first official look, and then we're getting it on November 24th, a clean month and two days before we can watch Spider-Man No Way Home in Australia. And a clean, normal haircut for Hawkeye. He's got a normal haircut again. He looks so much better. Right?

Yeah. What did you think? The one photo that I saw? Yeah. Pretty good. I agree. He was there. Other Haw you think? Of the one photo that I saw? Yeah. Pretty good. I agree. He was there. Other Hawkeye was there.

Other Hawkeye. He was giving that look of like, what are you doing here? And she had that look of like, what are you doing here? What are you actually doing here? Yeah. Anyway, exciting stuff.

Yeah, that's definitely one thing that's important. But another thing that I would say equally, if not more important, is internet privacy. Oh, absolutely. Here's the thing. Even if you stink, nobody's looking at your internet history. They don't know. Exactly. They're like, this guy hasn't bought any deodorant

in his internet purchases. That's very true. You see, Mason, using the internet without express VPN is like taking a call on a train or a bus on speaker, say for example, like my mother would and does, for everybody to hear. Don't be that person, my mother specifically. Hello, and then she gives a full name like a lunatic. You don't know who's calling. You really don't. It's not her number. The thing is, why does everyone need a VPN, Mason?

I'll tell you why. Why? It looks after your data. That's right. It stops people from tracking you, spying on you, filtering, stealing. Ooh. All of these things online. You're very vulnerable online.

I know you know that. And also, internet service providers like Comcast or Verizon, they know every single website you visit, and ISPs can sell this information to ad companies and tech giants. But they wouldn't do that. They're too moral. No, they do. Oh, yeah, I forgot.

They are. They're terrible. They use your data to target you. So, you know, why would you use ExpressVPN? ExpressVPN creates a secure encrypted tunnel between your device and the internet so people can't peep on your online activity. Stay out of my tunnel. That's right.

I can't peep in my tunnel. You fire up the app with a click of one button. It's also been rated the number one VPN service by CNET, Wired, and The Virgin. It works on phones, laptops, even routers. So everyone who shares your Wi-Fi can be protected. That's terrific. What I like about it is it's quick, easy to use. It's fast.

It doesn't slow down my internet speeds because I generally have terrible, terrible internet, so that helps in a big way. Also, Mason, you can actually secure your online activity by visiting expressvpn.com slash weeklyplanet today. That's E-X-P-R-E-S-S-V-P-N dot com slash weeklyplanet. And you can get an extra three months free, expressvpn.com slash weeklyplanet.

Love it. Me too. Everybody picture this, including you, Mason. I can picture things. Just listen. You need to picture it. I'm ready to picture whatever you care to name. I'll picture it.

Don't even worry about it. Okay. My mind is blank. It's a tiny apartment, Southern California. Okay. I want you to picture two college dropouts. What are they just in there just loafing about? No, Mason.

They've teamed up. No, it's too late. I've already pictured them loafing about. No, I didn't ask you to picture that. I want you to picture them teaming up to create a watch company that broke all the rules. In a tiny apartment. That's right.

With fair prices. As if. Unexpected colors and clean original designs. We're talking about movement, Mason. James, if this company existed, I would have heard about it. What did you say it was? Movement. Oh, no, I have heard about it.

Yeah, okay, great. You have many of their watches. I do. They grew into one of the fastest growing watch brands, shipping to over 160 countries around the globe. Now movement has expanded into blue light glasses that protect your eyes from screens, minimalist jewellery and more style essentials that don't break the bank,

all designed out of their California headquarters. You got a favourite style, Mason, of yours? I love their chronometers. They might call it a chrono watch. Sure. They've got little sub dials on them. They're minimalist but they're not boring. That's what I love. Come in a lot of colours, a chrono watch. Sure. They've got little sub-dials on them. They're minimalist, but they're not boring. That's what I love.

They come in a lot of colors, a lot of styles. How many have you got? A hundred. That's a lot. The more styles than they have. I've got doubles of all of them. So they also have an unbeatable price point because movement watches have the look and quality of a $400 to $500 watch

without paying for that like you would at an apartment store because they cost a fraction of the price because they're built online and they own the process from start to finish. 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 also for free. They also do blue light glasses. I'm literally wearing a pair right now, Mason. I know. I've got to spend all day in front of the computer or a lot of it and nights really, if I'm honest. And the Everscroll blue light filtering glasses are a game changer. It really helps with eye strain and poor sleeping patterns. And I love the modern style of the frames. I also love that. Now, if you want to elevate your look with style that doesn't break the bank, then join the movement and get 15% off today with free shipping and free returns by going to MVMT.com slash Weekly Planet.

Again, that's MVMT.com slash Weekly Planet. Let's get into it, mate. Isn't it amazing that they're so successful now, but they still live in that little apartment. They're still writing their names on there. Oh, you're still picturing it, are you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm very good at picturing it.

Very good. All right, let's get on with the rest of the show, Mason. Let's do it. It's time to talk about Jungle Cruise. If I can make a request for- We're the Jungle Cruise boys. Boys! If I can make a request for Weekly Planet posters,

Jungle Cruise but everybody's Tom Cruise in the poster. Oh, okay. Sure, sure, sure. You don't have to do it either. Okay. What about Jungle Cruise, all hands on deck, we're doing The Mummy again. Not just The Mummy, though.

Pirates of the Caribbean, Dead Man's Chest specifically. Yep. And a little bit of Indiana Jones. A little bit of Hercules, I thought. Legendary Journeys? No, the other one. The one The Rock was in. Xena for Warrior Princess?

No. Hercules. Young Hercules. Disney. Young Hercules. With Ryan Gosling. That's the one, yes. This was something like a $200 million budget,

again getting a day and date release. Should be interesting to see what happens with the box office numbers. But it's a bit of a family tale, I guess, but it's more of a PG-13 situation. I don't know if I will show my son this. You can pay for it on Premier Disney Access and you bloody pay for it, mate, if that's bloody time you spend watching this bloody 215 bloody minutes, mate.

Am I right? Am I bloody right? Yes. What do you think the story was? Okay, hang on. Alright. Okay, so um, okay, so there's Emily Blunt. She's a lady. Yeah. She's a lady. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

She's a lady. She's not like other ladies, though. Why? She's a willful woman, James. And she has pants. She's a doctor and she's wearing a trouser. Yes. Can you imagine wearing a trouser? I wouldn't dare. No. I wear this kilt all the time. I wear this utility kilt because of how interesting I am.

James, ask me how interesting I am. I don't want to ask you. Ask me how interesting I am. How interesting? I'm very interesting. So I wear this kilt. It's got pockets on. It's got all the pockets. It's like a pair of cargo pants, but it's got some air in the middle. You've just got your keys jangling into your balls. I don't want to know about it, Mason. It's got pockets on. It's got all the pockets. It's like a pair of cargo pants, but it's got some air in the middle. You just got your keys jangling into your balls.

I don't want to know about it, Mason. It's not interesting. What? Wow, I've got to tell my friends in the Utila Kilt Club. This isn't interesting. It's, in fact, weird. Anyway, she's a willful woman. People don't like her, but she's got a mission.

She's a doctor in something. And she's like, I'm going to go to the... Do people not like her because her and her brother are awful? Or is that the reason? I mean, maybe she's... It's probably all the violence she visits upon them. She hits a lot of people. They're like, hey, what are you doing in here?

And she's like, I'm doing violence on you. I've actually come to stab you with a spear. I mean, not you specifically, but you're here and I have the spear now. This is your workplace and I've come into your workplace and you're like, what am I doing in your workplace? The answer is violence on you for daring to be in your own workplace and perhaps trying to stop me doing violence on another person. P.S. I'm doing violence on that guy also.

This is just all day for me. It's technically my job, I guess. I'm from money. I don't give a shit. Is she? Is that a deal? I don't know. Yeah, it's tough to say. It's do one of these past whenever you do one of these

weird period pieces that are sort of like it's a it's a this you know rose colored glasses yeah kind of thing everybody's got like well i've got 25 steamer trunks full of things to my to go on the on the jungle cruise but it's like did every didn't... Didn't you not? Are you nobility or does everybody... Did your family kick you out or something? Yeah, what's going on here? I don't know. Anyway, she wants to go into the deep forest jungle. She wants to do the mummy.

Yeah, she wants to do some... She wants to get some research for science. It's also... How's she going to get down the jungle, the river though? How's she going to do a jungle cruise? Jungle cruise, yeah. She's going to get the rock for jungle cruise and also Jack Whitehall's there. Speaking of the rock, the rock is back in the jungle the river though how's she gonna do a jungle cruise yeah she's gonna get the rock for jungle cruise and also jack whitehall's there uh speaking of the rock the rock is back in the

jungle after the rundown slash welcome to the jungle and then journey the mysterious island journey to the mysterious island sorry and then jumanji welcome to the jungle and then the movie rampage to a lesser extent because some of it's set in the jungle but i don't think he's in the jungle parts but he's in a fake jungle when he's at the zoo and then of course after jumanji the next level he's back in the jungle again where was which mountain was's in the jungle parts, but he's in a fake jungle when he's at the zoo. And then, of course, after Jumanji, the next level. He's back in the jungle again. Where was Witch Mountain? Was that in a jungle?

I think that was on a mountain or at least to a mountain. Okay, cool, cool. Yeah, have you seen Witch Mountain? No, but I did. I keep getting it recommended to me on Disney+. Well, see, as soon as I finished this, it was like, you want to watch Escape to Witch Mountain, and everybody in the promo photo looks so sad.

Yeah. Like it's a sad young rock and a sad Carla Gugino and a sad couple of kids. I think I've talked about my theory of like that's how like wrestlers who want to transition to like big-time movie actors, they do a couple of kids' movies and then those kids grow up and then they're like, I remember the Rock. And now he's, I remember seeing him in Jungle Cruise,

I see him in Fast and Furious. I remember I saw Witch Mountain. You didn't see Witch Mountain. You're thinking of Journey to the Mysterious Island. That's what you're thinking of, yeah. Or the Tooth Fairy. Yeah, yeah. But they still got you, didn't they?

They did. Because he did three of those. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway. They're going to go into the jungle. It's all right. Yeah, and The Rock's like, I'm not taking you into the jungle. And she's like, but look how sassy I am.

And he's like, well, I guess I'll take you to the jungle. Yep. I'm going to have to at this point. Yeah. Non-spoilers, then spoilers, because there's some spoilers, I guess. There's some startling revelations. Did you enjoy this movie? I thought it was pretty fun.

I thought it was all right. Okay, great. That's pretty good for me. I think a major problem with this for me is because they built one of the biggest sets of all time. Did they? Yeah, you know the bit where Paul Giamatti is? And he's like, these are my boats and this is my

hotel. I thought that was all CGI. No, no, it's real. Okay. We talked about it on the show a few years back when they filmed this in the year 2013. Where The Rock's like, we're filming Welcome to the Jungle, whatever this is called. This is the biggest set ever. And then the drone pulls back and it's a big set.

So most of that... And yet The Rock still looks normal size. Yeah, it looked normal size. He got bigger as the camera pulled out. It's like the Stay Bluff Marshmallow Man. But most of- I'm cursed. I just keep getting bigger. You know how the boat-

Set the biplanes down. Kill me. If you can. They couldn't. They could not kill the rock. So you know how they take the boat out and it weaves around some other boats? Yes. Most of that, it's all real.

That's wild. I know. Because it doesn't look that real. No. But what I think also is it takes them like there's a lot of running about and hijinks before they get onto the jungle cruise. Yes. And I think it's because they went, we spent $40 million on this enormous,

we dug out this ditch and built this set on it. Yeah. So there's a lot of hijinks, may I say, and I said this in my fake title, they're really leaning heavily on this being the mummy to start out. Yes. They've just gone, let's give it. What if a woman was a professor or whatever? Let's put her on one of those library ladders

and do some violence, and she'll have a brother who's a bit posh and there's an adventurer and they're all, they don't get along. They don't seem to get along, do they? No. But maybe they kiss, I can't remember. Yeah, that three-way kiss they do at the end. Yum, yum, yum, I say. Anyways, so they also, they're being pursued

by Jesse Plemons doing his best Christoph Waltz. And he's like, I'm German and I've got a submarine. How did I get this submarine into this river? What year is this? The submarine's even a thing now? I'm a Nazi. What year is it? Oh, it's 1916.

I'm not a Nazi yet. To be clear, everyone, not a Nazi yet. I'm not. Yeah. And also Paul Giamatti's there. Yes, and he's like, there's too many boats. Give me all these boats. So there's too many boats where he wants all the boats.

There's too many boats, but he wants them all. And then he'll be in charge of boats. And then he'll reduce the number of boats, like sensibly? I don't think that was his plan. Is it some sort of boat buyback situation? He does get his boat numbers reduced, but certainly not sensibly, Mason. Oh, with hijinks. Yeah, right.

I thought there was too much hijinks up top. Because there was hijinks in London. Yeah. Where she was like trying to steal the amulet and whatever. And then there was hijinks to get on the boat. Yes. And there's a bit with a big cat which is an absolutely terrible scene with that CGI cat and they have a little wrestle.

Is it because? It's supposed to be? No, not the cat thing but is it the reason there were so many hijinks before they got on the boat because there's not a lot of room for hijinks on the boat and there wasn't really that many hijinks when we actually got on the boat? Once you get to the boat, how many hijinks you got? Next to no hijinks.

It is that situation I know it's a problem when you do sci-fi and out of space, like everything has to be on the ship and you're limited by what you can do. So you might be right. But again, I think it's the giant set that they built. Yeah, probably. But you might be right. It might be both.

Tiny amount of hijinks on a tiny tugboat. That's right. So they have to get an amulet because you take the amulet, it's an arrowhead, and they've got to take it to a tree and they put it in the tree and then it's a magic tree. This is all explained at the start of the movie. And it cures all your ailments. That's what she wants. She wants this magical science

to save everybody. That's right. She wants to save everybody in England, I guess. Just in England. Seems that way. This is just for Queen and country. Pretty much. That's how they did it and continue to do it. But little do they know there's a man made of snakes and a honey boy and a – I've just written Mud Darren.

Couldn't think of his name. No, it's Mud Darren. And a guy who's just sticks. Supernatural beings who had previously been in – this is all explained up top – been in the jungle but were cursed by Aztec nonsense or something. Sure, sure, sure. Brazil madness, let's say. And then they're trapped in the jungle but were cursed by Aztec nonsense or something. Sure, sure, sure. Brazil madness, let's say.

And then they're trapped in the river and the rock's like, if you go up river, there's snakes. And she's like, I don't care about snakes. I care about wearing pants. That's right, yeah. I can see that. Yeah. I'm tough and I'm driven and I wear trousers and I can't swim

and that'll only be relevant if in a later scene in the movie I need't swim. And that'll only be relevant in a later scene in the movie, I need to swim. I feel like, and they did the underwater water world kiss. That's right. Speaking of water world, did you see it might be coming back as a TV series? No. You're going to do a sequel series?

Would you change your signature West world to water world? Something to think about. Isn't it though? Yeah. It's the most important. Put it to the top of your docket this week, James. Think about it though? Yeah. It's the most important. It's the most important. Put it to the top of your docket this week, James. Think about whether you're going to change the thing you say.

I'll do it. Okay, great. Interesting though. Yeah. They're like, hey, maybe The Rock could be a romantic kissy man. Yeah. Haven't seen that in a while. No.

Unless we have. I don't know. Because normally he's a divorced dad. Or he's got a daughter and the wife has been dead for 100 years or whatever. Remember when he was talking about. She's hit by a meteor,'t know. Because normally he's a divorced dad. He's Tom Cruise, isn't it? Or he's got a daughter and the wife has been dead for 100 years or whatever. Remember when he was talking about. She was hit by a meteor, you know. Yeah, that's right. But it's been tough raising you because your mother was hit by a meteor that time.

Yeah, I didn't like it. Is that the daughter? Is that the daughter's fault? The daughter's also the wrong one. Yeah, bad news. Straight up. Yeah. I don't know. I don, bad news. Straight up. Yeah. I don't know.

I don't really like him kissing people. Wow. Maybe he kisses a lot of people in ballers. We don't know. Sure he does. We don't know. Do you remember like in his Fast and Furious spinoff, he's talking about having sex with Jason Statham's sister

and it's really like, stop that. You're enormous. Yeah. It's terrifying. But anyway, they've also brought in Disney's first openly gay character, sort of, we think. Yep, sort of. They nearly even say it, this one.

They nearly said it. They're a mile away from doing anything with it. But a kid wouldn't figure it out. You wouldn't think so? No. I reckon a kid. Not a young kid. Yeah, all right.

Maybe like a five-year-old. But I reckon like a, and again, kid. Yeah, all right. Maybe like a five-year-old. But I reckon like a, and again, I don't know any kids, but like a 10-year-old. Yeah, no, definitely. I'm sorry. I'm thinking like kids my age, I guess. Not my age. Kids that I have that are their age.

My one-year-old and five-year-old. Children your mental age. Do you reckon my son, who you know personally, even though you said you don't know any kids, do you reckon he could handle this movie? A lot of people are being wrapped up by vines in Jungle Magic. Oh, that's true, yeah. You know, something that you think won't affect you.

Has your kid ever been wrapped up in magical vines? Yeah, most mornings. Right then. On the way to school. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just across a ravine. And every day you give him a bowl of magical vinos. Yeah.

He's like, Dad, no. And he's like, well, put the milk on. And the magical vines come out. I think it's pretty. You'd have to sit with them, I think. Yeah. You would just put it on and leave. I guess maybe if a kid has specific fears.

Yeah. Like if a kid was like, oh, I don't want to die in the water or something like that. I don't want to be attacked by a man made of honey. Yeah. I think they would like the tiger. Yeah. Tigers are fun. What is with CGI cats? They never look right. I didn't a man made of honey. Yeah. I think they would like the tiger. Yeah. Tigers are fun.

What is with CGI cats? They never look right. I didn't hate it, I'll be honest. It just looked like a cartoon. I didn't like it. I mean, it didn't, obviously. It looks great, but something about like, I don't know. Maybe it's like the way it, like its actions and personality.

I've written here, there's certainly a lot of running about. And that is true. But the other thing I wrote, no, I meant to say this. Do you think there are enough double crosses and fake outs and people pretending they had an amulet? Because often it'd be like, have you got the amulet? I've got the amulet. Then they'd open a thing and be like, ooh, they've taken this amulet.

It's the video that killed my wife. It's burned up quite a lot in re-entry, which is why it was in this little box. It just went through her head. That's how it killed her. Like a bullet. You know what? It didn't.

I wasn't bogged down by the number of switcheroos. There were a lot of people pretending to be aligned with other people. You know what I mean? I think there were probably too many villains. Sure. But I don't think that would be a problem if they were memorable villains. But I think beyond. I think Paul Giamatti was kind of interesting,

but all he really had was like, give me my money, the rock, I've got a gold tooth. That's all he had. And then Jesse Plemons I thought was quite fun. Yeah. And then there's a bunch of men made of like swamp shit or whatever. I think there was a scene with Jack Whitehall and Jesse Plemons. Yeah.

They had a bit of a back and forth and I'm like, this is a bit of a fun scene. This is a good combo. They're a fun team together. But I think the snake bee men were not hugely memorable. I'm sure they were like, kids are going to love, we're going to make one of them made out of bees and one made out of snakes and one is fire gold or something.

I don't know. And they're going to love it. But I'm like, these are not. They were clearly doing the Davy Jones thing, right? Yeah, they need. Or Salazar's Revenge. Whoa. Remember that?

Yeah. Yeah. Or the safe. Yep. That they dragged along the road. Sure. Also, the skeletons from the first Pirates. Yeah, yeah.

It felt very Pirates-y because they're like, we can't really do Pirates anymore. Yeah, but it seemed like they were like, all we need to give them is each of them a gimmick. Yeah. But they weren't like the even, like I feel this movie was better than some of the weaker Pirates sequels. Oh, 100%.

But it's certainly not on par with The Mummy. No. And it isn't on par with the first Pirates of the movie, which I've seen recently and I think still holds up. It's very entertaining. I think this was sort of, this was like a mid-tier Pirates sequel. And, yeah, and I think they were like, well, just gimmick these bad guys and people will love them.

But they need to have personalities and be interesting. And one of them sort of did. Yeah, but they weren't. They also, they didn't have enough time to develop. We just saw them very briefly in flashbacks and then we were supposed to care about their connections and et cetera. Who were they again? Oh, let's not spoil that.

Maybe save that for spoilers. Okay, well, let's just do spoilers. Okay. I'm going to say, look. Yeah, it's all right. I didn't love it, but it was all right. And I think everyone's pretty charming in this. And it was free.

Mason. It was, and I paid $35 for it. I was about to remind you that you paid $35. Yeah. I mean, that's the thing, and I could have gone, because the cinema's very open in Melbourne, I could have gone like 10 minutes down the road to a cinema and seen it for like $16 or something, but I'm like.

You would have had to leave your house. I would have had to leave my house, and I didn't want to. and i didn't want to yep yep yep yep so anyway the rock anyway should we best movie ever yeah i think so yeah i don't really want to watch it again no but i might watch it with my kid i'd rather watch this than space jam with him yeah i thought that you know the three leads are you know generally quite likable i think yeah yeah i agree i mean and there's this there is a fine line between like, you know, I'm a sassy character and you're not telling me what to do. Like there is a fine line between that being,

oh, that's cool and that's very annoying. It may have gone on a bit too long. Yeah, maybe. A bit too much like you're sassy. I'll tell you, I'm bloody sassy. I'll throw you off this boat to your death. Yeah, I'll kill you. You'll get you eaten by piranhas.

Yeah, that's Jack Whitehall talking. That's right. I'll throw all you guys off those boats. He's equally as tall as The Rock. He's a big guy. Is he? I didn't know. It never would have occurred to me. Now think about it every day. Yeah, I will. I also just want to mention, I've done the Jungle Cruise ride, but the one in Japan

and as well in Japanese, so I think I vaguely recognise some of the things. I think when The Rock did his little tour at the start, I think there's a lot of nods to it there, like the hippo and whatever. Well, I've done... They've revamped it recently. I've done going down a creek in a tinny at the start. I think there's a lot of nods to it there, like the hippo and whatever. Well, I've done. They've revamped it recently. I've done going down a creek in a tinny at SeaWorld. And?

Hollywood on the Gold Coast. Wow. No, I haven't. Well, I went to Wobby's World in Victoria, possibly Parramatta. Everybody could just Google that on YouTube. Google it on your YouTube device and just look at the worst thing you'll ever see. Just look at that all day just murders we've tweaked the algorithm

so if you Google Wobbies World you get photos of murders it's basically the worst theme park you'll ever see and it was the only thing within distance here wasn't it really didn't it have like a tank ride and stuff sort of I never went even as a kid I was like the worst even when you never went. Even as a kid I was like the worst.

Even when you're a kid and you love everything, I was like the worst. It had a helicopter that the rotor, the blade spun and I don't think it, it didn't obviously fly but I don't even think it moved. That's fun. Anyway, spoilers for the movie Jungle Cruise. Here we go. Spoilers, the rock is Spanish.

He is Spanish. Olé. He says to himself. Did he, because there's a flash, okay, so he was part of that gang of like Spoilers, the rock is Spanish. He is Spanish. Olé. Olé. He says to himself. That's right. And others. Did he, because there's a flash, okay, so he was part of that gang of like snake men and whatever. Yeah. So the twist was that rather than him just being some sort of bum of the river,

just living on his little steamer. A river bum doing an aqua bog. Yeah. That's right. Go on. On his little tramp steamer and wearing his big vest, which is really a little messy to ask you about the clothes what do you think of his i like i like the i like the i thought all the costume was good i think it's all a bit like a disneyfied and anachronistic where it's like because like i mean good looking movie though no exactly but even like

even like a lot of the production and like we see i think it's is it supposed to be london where we see initially yeah and all the car all the cars we see in the street are like, there's a red one and a yellow one. They would never be. They're all grey. They'd all be grey, yeah. And like belching, like awful pollution. Yeah.

And there'd just be sewage in the street. And it's the same with the costumes. Like I think, you know, they were all very kind of dandified. Yeah. You know, everything, every suit had a plaid and like a fancy collar and whatever, but I think it looked good. His tiny hat makes the top of his head look flat. It looked like they'd cut the top of it off.

Yeah, yeah. Like a tin of beans. Like a tin of beans, mate. Anyway, so he was part of the original. And I liked her trousers. I liked Emily Blunt's trousers. They were good trousers, pockets and all. So he was part of the original Spanish, what were they?

Like invasion force? Yeah. Like conquistadors? That's right. And they went to this, they went searching for treasures. And they died. But then they were all brought back to life by this magical fruit. Yep.

And it made them all immortal. Yep. But then. They wanted to kill. They wanted to kill the local tribes people. To get the magical amulet. Yes. To take the magical stuff back to his sister.

That's right. So they were cursed. Yep. So they could never leave within sight of the river. Yep. And then, but they were still normal people but immortal, but they couldn't leave the side of the river. If you try to leave the river, the river drags you back to the river.

Right, but then they're all like, we don't like you, the rock. Yeah. I'm sorry, lost rock. So we're going to get you. But then he tricks them, falling into a pit, and then they are like grabbed by vines and like sucked into the woods and then they turn into. Because it's trying to drag them back to the river but it can't.

And then they all get turned into Davy Joneses. Yeah. But- The department store. David Jones. They all get turned into a Davy Jones. But he doesn't. So he spends the next 400 years just cruising the river.

Yeah. Being like- And building a town sometimes. Oh, you built that town. It's like I built a town and then everybody died. I'm just eating my beans. Is that what happened? Yeah.

Oh, it turned out. This whole scene where he- I know. I thought that built that town. It's like I built a town and then everybody died. I'm just eating my beans. Is that what happened? Yeah. Oh, it turned out. This whole scene where he built his own. I know. I thought that was the town that was at the end of the river. No, it's a different town, I think. Cool. That's great. But he didn't manage it very well because they literally all died in that scene.

Well, he's not God. What is he supposed to do? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, I thought when they were like, we've got to take this thing back to London to change society and everybody's going to be immortal or whatever, I thought they weren't going to get it. Because often in these things they're like,

well, the real treasure was love. I got to kiss the rock. It's a real treasure. That's what happened at the end of Witch Mountain. He got to kiss those kids. Very upsetting movie, basically. But they just got it. I got it.

I was really surprised. I was not surprised. No, actually, you're right. The very predictable part was obviously that, you know, the rocks, they only get one special flower and then the rocks like, you know, you could use this to save me but don't use it to save me. I'll sacrifice myself and then you take it out to society. Yeah.

And then, of course, she sacrifices. Then she's like, no, I'm going to save the rock instead of society. Yeah. But then there's just another flower. Yeah, it just appears, which is weird. They did that. And as they're all getting trapped, all the other pirate guys, they're not pirates, but they are.

One of them screams, you don't understand. This is torture. This is worse than death. And then he's trapped and they leave him there. Yeah, they should have killed him. Should have slid all their throats. I agree. But that's bad for a Disney movie.

Is it? Yeah. So, yeah, you know, it's, and then at the end, after we find out that he can leave the river and go to London, what did you think of his little Willy Wonka outfit he's wearing? I thought it was a fun little Willy Wonka outfit. He looks weird in a top hat, doesn't he? Yeah, he sure does.

Yeah. I loved it. Yeah. Good looking movie. Yeah, it does look good. A lot of money went into this. Even the cat that I'm like, I didn't like the cat. I felt like it just felt out of place and like it looked good.

Yeah, yeah. But like. Oh, that was the Hercules moment. Because remember in The Rock's Hercules where he's like, I'm the god Hercules, but he's just a sort of weird. Con man or whatever. Con man kind of thing. It's the same thing.

As soon as I saw that cat in the fight, I'm like, well, this isn't a real fight. He's trained the cat. Yeah. Good stuff. It is good stuff. They're going to do another one, I reckon. Okay. Probably.

I mean, depending. It might have a big drop off as well. Jungle Booze Cruise. Am I right? Hello, boyos. Let's do it. That's right. Do you think they would do it significantly far into the future?

I mean, it depends on numbers. I guess he's not immortal anymore. Yeah. I don't know. Who cares? Good point. Who cares? Sometimes I stumble on a good point, you know,

and I've hit on gold there. Sometimes the mask comes off and you're just like, who cares about any of this? I wish I was reading a book in my study. I don't have a study. You just have a couch and you've got a laptop. That's what you have. That's right. And I turn it sideways like a book and I read it.

That's right. Yeah, but look, oh no, would you see another one of these? Yeah, yeah. But you don't have to. No, I still would. You could choose between this or another Escape from New York movie. What do you choose? Oh, gosh. And John Carpenter's back even though he might be dead. Is Kurt Russell back? He'd have to be. Yeah, yeah. Check if John Carpenter's back even though he might be dead. Is Kurt Russell back?

He'd have to be. Yeah, yeah. I'm thinking of John Carpenter's dead. I think he is. I think he's dead. Yeah. But in this scenario I get another escape from movie and John Carpenter's come back to life.

That's right, exactly. Wow. I mean that would be a miracle, wouldn't it? I think he's alive. It's a miracle. I honestly thought he died. Like I thought there was a tribute to him. That's what I thought. It's not saying he died anywhere. I honestly thought he died. Like I thought there was a tribute to him.

That's what I thought. It's not saying he died anywhere. Oh. There you go. Wow. Well, good on him. The last thing in his personal life on Wikipedia just says he is an atheist. Okay. So take that for what you will.

Anyway, John Carpenter's alive. That's awesome. That's great. If that's true. Okay. Well, then given that the return of an Escape From movie wouldn't also result in the returning from death to life of John Carpenter. Yes.

Maybe I just see another Jungle Cruise. Jungle 2 Booze Cruise. That's right. Excellent. Jungle all the way. Jungle 2 Booze Cruise. Yes. Yes.

Tim Allen's in it also. Yeah. This was going to be a Tim Allen, Tom Hanks movie. I just remembered that. Wow. Because they were going to do a, you know Tom Hanks movie. I just remembered that. Wow. Because they were going to do a, you know, because they're Woody and Buzz and whatever, but, you know. You know who would have been a better team in this?

Who? Not that Whitehall and Blunt weren't pretty good in this. I enjoyed the rest. Sure. Just the Jumanji team again. Like Karen Gillan and Kevin Hart and whoever else is in it. The last person. Danny DeVito, whatever.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just bring them back. Jack Black. Jack Black, yeah. Yeah. I don't know bring that back Jack Black Jack Black yeah I don't know why I forgot Jack Black because I was just thinking earlier

it would have been Jack Black would have been a great boat captain anything it doesn't matter put him in this I think

how good would it have been if he was a boat captain oh my god he would have had little retidus you know what I mean yeah for sure

on the river yeah retidus on the river do you think they went jungle boats we've got that ride he's in the jungle movie Do you think they went jungle boats? We've got that ride. He's in the jungle movie.

That was their line of thinking? No, I think they went. They got him in the jungle. No, I think they went, the rock sells a lot of tickets. Let's get the rock. Yep. And we love the movie. It's a two-step process.

That's true. And we love the movie Skyscraper. Yeah, yeah. Anyway, Mason, we've got to move on to the next segment of the show. Do you know what it is? What are we reading? What have we got? Oh, would you recommend people pay $30 for this at home?

No, just wait till it's free. Which is in November, I think. Yeah, just do that. Yeah, yeah. Alright, here we go. There's enough free entertainment to tide your kids over. That's right. For a couple months, I reckon. That's right. Because, I mean, it's all free, in a way. I'm doing the theme now. You've got to be quiet, Mason. So I can say Westworld.

I was just trying to overuse the joke where I say that everything's free. You're ruining this song. I'm still going? Yeah. Okay, great. Westworld. That's how far I was in, Mason overuse the joke where I say that everything's free. You're ruining the song. I was still going? Yeah. Okay, great. Westworld. That's how far I was in, Mason. Oh, wow.

I'd be happy. I am. Oh, good. Because that's made you less happy. That's how our happiness works. One of us can only be happy at a time. That's right. And I got bloody married, so it's bloody me unhappy all the time.

All right, boys? Hate my wife. I'm that guy. Remember, Mason? I hate my family and my wife. That's right, see. I was thinking about... You can't tell, folks, but James is doing that thing like he's covering one side of it,

like he's talking out the side of his mouth like, ooh, they're boys. Get a load of this. I'll ball the chat. I'm like, she rigs me and she's like, where are you? I'm like, I'm just at the shops, but I'm actually down the pub, boys. It's kind of a shop, isn't it, eh?

It's the bloody good time shop with my mate's shop. Anyways, I was thinking about it the other day and I genuinely like having kids. It's great. I fucking love it. I know I probably don't say that enough, but if my kids ever listed this in the future, they're like, he must have hated us from day one.

Not true. I love having kids. Do you think they would have gotten up to episode 390 or whatever this is? Or do you think they would have given up years ago? Good point, actually. Maybe we'll want to preemptively add that into episode one. Just to be clear, to my kids in future, I do enjoy your company.

Yeah. And I know I died in a tragic accident probably, or not even. Yeah, I got hit in the head with a meteor. And all the way through my head. Not from space. It was in a... Somebody fired it out of a slingshot from a museum. I had time to record this.

The hole in my head was filled with blood. You guys are all right. Maybe it's just the meteor talking, but I actually like having kids. Big murder episode. I think so. Yeah. This week, what have you been reading?

I watched Jackass, the first Jackass, which I haven't seen. Now I have. Then Jackass number two. And then I watched Jackass 2.5. A couple of quick notes on the Jackass. What's the difference between 2 and 2.5? I guess you'll be telling me. Yes.

Well, first of all, the first one in particular is very tame by today's standards. Yes, that's the only one I've seen. Yeah. But you know what? They're a fun crew and whatever. tamed by today's standards. Yes, that's the only one I've seen. But you know what? They're a fun crew and whatever. They do too much like I feel like bordering on

and just generally torturing animals which I don't love. Like provoking animals into hurting them. But then it ramps up and so there was number two in 2006 and then 2.5 was like the off cuts. It's like an hour of extra footage and behind the scenes which is

not very interesting. Just injuries just not fun injuries much yeah mostly yeah and i'm gonna i'm probably i have seen three but i'm probably gonna watch it again because there is something it's not just the stunts that work about it it's like the the weird crew and how they'll upset a cameraman for real and that's the stuff that i'm really there for it's like reality tv i guess but it was you know it's i can see why it's there for it's like reality tv i guess but it was you know it's i can see why it's popular because it's not again it's not just stunts it's like it's a law and like injuries upon injuries and tattoos tell the story and everyone's got like a weird special talent and whatever yeah being injured being injured and it's just you know yeah great

dicking about you're also watching a tv series don't spoil it mason i'm gonna talk about and suggest okay you can talk about it on Suggestible. Okay, you can talk about it. Well, look, all I'll say is it's a reality television show, and when I got here you were 13 episodes in. I had already done a bunch of them, but I came back for the reunion specials. Yes, it's the show Love is Blind, everybody. Talk about it on Suggestible this week, and I've already talked about it.

You know when you came around, I'm like, I could turn this off, and then Mason will never know, but I'm like, no. He must know. He must see this. This is like when, you know, somebody does a bad crime and they just start leaving clues. Yeah. Or somebody was killed. Because they want to be caught. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

They want people to know. Yeah. What did you do? What did you do, Mason? Well, you'd know if you paid attention to all the clues that I left. It'd be about time someone noticed all the clues that I left to my crimes. Good point, good point. I watched the movie Blood, Red Sky.

All right, yeah. If it has been pointed out, it'd be a great – I really enjoyed it. It's good. It'd be a great movie where you didn't know what it was going in, but unfortunately due to the nature of it, because it's on Netflix and they need a- A thumbnail. If you don't know anything about it and you're like, sometimes I enjoy the things that Maiso enjoys,

maybe just go watch it straight away. Don't even look. Try and shield your eyes from the thumbnail. Because it will show you what's going on. Just click on that and watch it. If you didn't know anything about it, you hadn't seen the thumbnail, I mean, even the name sort of is a clue to it. Sort of.

But basically the premise is. Spoilers, I guess? Yes, but only, yeah, I'll say spoilers. Okay, cool. But anyway, basically. Collingswood would have time cut. At a certain point, if you didn't know, basically you see a woman, she's got a kid.

Yep. She gets on a plane. She apparently needs to get to uh another uh country i think it's i think it's america london doesn't matter not relevant but she has to uh she has to get on a plane and go to a destination because there's a host she's sick in some way yep she she has to wear a wig because her hair's fallen out and uh she has to get on the plane with her son she's going to hospital she she has to get on the plane with her son. She's going to hospital. She's going to get some sort of treatment.

But then. And the kid knows this, obviously, I assume. Yes, yes, he does. And then when they're on the plane, terrorists hijack the plane. And you're like, oh, no, this poor woman. But then here's the spoilers. We get the spoilers. Here it is.

It is. It's Die Hard on a plane. But she's not. She doesn't have cancer. She's a vampire. And it's not played. It's not. This isn't a snakes on a plane, but she doesn't have cancer. She's a vampire. Yeah. And it's not played. This isn't a snakes on a plane situation. It's not like played for a joke.

It is like a genuine mashup of the two scenarios. Like you've got the cast of like psychopaths who want to hijack this plane for their own. Like a con air group. Yeah, kind of a con air group, but like slightly more realistic. Yeah. And you've got a woman, like a, and it's sort of like this combination of like, of course you want to see that.

Yeah. And she's not a, she's, I didn't get, but again, if you didn't know. I take it she gets her powers back because she drains one of them and then she's like, I'm powered up. Do you want to know? No, I actually don't. Okay, because it's not that. It's kind of that, but it's also not.

Cool, okay. But yeah, but like if you didn't know, this, I actually don't. Okay, because it's not that. It's kind of that, but it's also not. Cool, okay. But, yeah, if you didn't know, this would absolutely throw you for a loop. But like I said, they've got to put the- Like a dusk till dawn situation, I guess. Yeah, that would be different. But, yeah, but also like she's also not a Twilight vampire. She's not a Dracula kind of vampire. She's a Nosferatu vampire.

Yeah, she's got that look. She's like a horrifying yeah you know vampire situation yeah is there a moment where one of the terrorists turns to the other one and goes is there a fucking dracula on this plane yes it's right at the start of the movie before any of that he's just a really cautious guy he's like look i don't want to do this hijacking if there's a dracula on board there's never been a dracula on this plane run this 20 times there's never been a dracula yeah but the one time you know you don't check for dracula's and then then in the start of the There's never been a Dracula on this plane. I've run this 20 times. There's never been a Dracula. Yeah, but the one time, you know, you don't check for Draculas.

And then at the start of the second act, you know, the second guy's like, well, this is awkward. Sorry I doubted you. Yeah. Anyway, new poster, is there a Dracula on this plane? Yeah, nice. I think they've already done one. They, one guy. What about this?

Mid-air hydraking. That's good. Pretty all right, right? I like that a lot. And also, that makes no sense. So if you put that on the poster, people will be like, what? Oh, yeah, mine's a spoiler. So maybe if you're doing them, that one first.

Spoilers if you go to the next one. Sure. Is there a fucking Dracula on this plane? Yeah. All right. But again, nobody has to do any posters. No. You can just imagine these posters.

Just imagine posters because that's what it's all about. We survived quite a long time without anybody doing any posters. Yeah. That's stupid. But now there's a huge backlog. It's true, yeah. If anything, there's too many. But yeah, it's a good, and again, I'm not like a horror guy by any stretch of the imagination.

I think you like me, like you like good horror though, right? Yeah, like an action horror is always good. Or just a good horror movie. Yeah. Mason, do you have the next segment of the show ready? Yes, it's time for letters. About time, I say. Yeah.

Maybe I'll talk through your letters. I wouldn't because it's rude. The classic one was letters. Okay, cool. You don't have to. Oh, letters. We love you. Some letters.

They're only a day away. There's a stare down happening close. We're going to do that as... That's polite society, Mason. That's how it should function. Just a man being respectful of another man's theme song. But also quietly furious behind the eyes. That's how I work.

Yeah, nice. That's how I work. Mason, this is a segment of the show, and I know you know this more than anybody, where people write in and they might send us a tweet, a tweeter. A tweeter, we can get a tweeter. For example,

and they'd use the hashtag WeeklyPlanetPod, which is the best way to reach the show on Twitter because I search for that hashtag every week. But what about you, Mason? How else would people send you a Gmail? They can go to weeklyplanetpod at gmail.com. Put that address into your email going to address bar. Then type in some words.

Type in whatever you want. Send it to us. We'll get it. Yep. We'll love it. We'll love it. Or we'll miss it accidentally. We'll loathe it secretly.

We'll loathe it. Yeah. You might be one of the lucky ones because most of the time we love a letter. I love getting a letter, but sometimes we love to loathe a letter. We'll tell you about it too. But I tell you I love this letter. Okay. It a letter. But sometimes we love to loathe a letter. We'll tell you about it too. But I tell you I love this letter. Okay. It's from Derek. Hello Derek. It says, hi fellas, long time listener from Oklahoma.

Wow, like the musical. Cats. It's interesting you say that. Because it says I'm excited to listen to Nick's guest spot on Book Cheat regarding A Midsummer Night's Dream. I work in the theatre arts industry as a writer, director, producer, act, etc. I'm curious, what are some of your favourite movies based off of theatrical productions? Wow.

I like Les Mis. Yes. The most recent one. There's been, well, there was another one in the 90s which wasn't a musical, so it doesn't count. Great question. Isn't it, though? I like the Jerry Butler Phantom of the Opera,

even though it's not good. There you go. What about you? I like, I was just thinking this, I'm probably going to watch it tomorrow, maybe. Romeo plus Juliet is what it's called, apparently. The Baz Luvin one. That is a good one.

Very stylish. Was that based off a musicale? Did I say that? Or theatre production? You said theatre production. I said, yeah, theatrical production. Oh, theatrical. Okay.

So that's the theatre. Let me do this again. Okay. Theatre movies based on theatre. Have you ever seen, this is one that I saw many years ago because my mum took myself and my sister to it and I enjoyed it nevertheless. Okay.

Did you see the version of Richard III that had Ian McKellen in it? No. It's set in like sort of an alternate World War II. When was this? 95 or 96. Really? Something like that. No, I didn't know that.

Yeah, he's sort of, it's modernised but not really modernised because it's sort of like a. Because it's 95. It's 95, obviously, so it's the distant past. But it's also like a British dictatorship kind of thing. Yeah, yeah. He's sort of, you know, Hitler-esque. Man, Ian McKellen's been killing it for a long time.

I know, right? I've got some things here. A Few Good Men is based on a play. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fences. There's been a couple of movies in Fences, I think. Oh, no, maybe not. But there's been a recent one with Denzel Washington. That's right.

What about the movie? Oh, these are, I think these are alphabetical. Oh, no, I didn't want. In the Heights. Oh, yeah. What about Sound of Music? Sound of Music. Sound of Music.

Sound of Music. Sound of Music. Sound of Music. Where's the Nazis? They're going, here's Sound of Music. I did a. Sound of music. Where's the Nazis? They're going to hear this. Sound of music. I did a bike sound of music once. You did a what?

Say the whole sentence again. I split that up oddly. Okay. But I think people got where I was going with this. I'm just going to leave it. I didn't understand it at all. No, I did a bike tour in Salzburg, I think it is. Okay, right.

Where they took us around sound of music things. Do you remember the Salzburg Stakes at the end? Maybe I did, Mason. I don't is. Okay, right. Where they took us around sound and music, like, things. Did you get one of the Salzburg steaks at the end? Maybe I did, Mason. I don't remember. It was in 2008. You'd remember if you got yourself a Salzburg steak. Then I guess I didn't, Mason. Anyway, Claire loves the sound of music, so she loved it.

Yeah, yeah. And it was actually pretty interesting because there was a lot of, like, history. It wasn't just, like, people singing songs. Yeah, yeah. It was like, this is where they filmed it, but also, you know, there's an interesting fun fact or whatever. I really like the original Sleuth with – The Jude Law one?

No, the – The original Michael Caine one. The Michael Caine one. Well, he's in both. Michael Caine and Laurence Olivier. Well, he is but the one with Michael Caine and Laurence Olivier. That's a good one. What about West Side Story, both 1961 and 2021?

I've seen neither of them. They do a 2021 movie. It's coming out. Spielberg did it. See, what I've just twigged there is the year 2021 is still currently happening. That's right, Mason. Wow.

We're in it. Did you ever see Streetcar Named Desire? No. Interesting. Yeah, I got sleuth here. I've never seen Rocky Horror Picture Show. I've never seen Reefer Madness, which was adapted into the 2005 film. You love the movie Mamma Mia.

I've actually never seen it, but I don't like the music of ABBA. Ah, okay. So you wouldn't like it. But you love the singing of Pierce Brosnan. I probably would. You'd come out of that completely neutral. I remember it was always on, because it came out in 99 apparently, but there was like it seems like a 10-year period

where every second ad was like, come see the musical and mob and the critics are raving about and everyone's standing up and singing the Mamma Mia songs. Yeah, right, right. I'm like, never in a million years I'll do that, I said to myself. Whoa. And I still haven't. That's incredible.

But then again, it hasn't been a million years, so maybe I will end up doing it. That's very true, actually, yeah. Hairspray, I've seen Hairspray. That wasn't bad. But I don't really remember it. Was that part of your John Travolta hate tour where you have to see every John Travolta movie

so you can hate him all the more? Correct, correct. It's one of those things. The thing about John Travolta is sometimes I forget that I don't hate him that much. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So then I have to watch just any of his movies. Yeah.

I've never seen Death of a Salesman. I should watch that, right? Yeah. It's supposed to be good, right? I don't know. Oh, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. It's Paul Newman. Mm-hmm.

I think I've seen that. Anyway. Anyway, great. Great stuff. Oklahoma. Oklahoma. Oklahoma. This is from Rohith who says, hashtag weekly planet pod,

hello, James and Mason. I just wanted to recommend an amazing show that I absolutely adored this year and I thought you guys would like it as well. It's called Resident Alien and it stars Alan Tudyk as a weirdo. Have you guys covered it for season two? I think I did talk about it on Suggestable. I have watched it. I really liked Resident Alien.

I haven't got around to it but I'm going to. Maybe after I've watched Romeo plus Juliet. The Romeo and Juliet for the MTV generation. Are you going to watch the sequel or prequel Romeo Must Die? Yes. Probably be a prequel wouldn't it? Yeah, yeah. Not to spoil Romeo and Juliet but he does die. The sequel's called Romeo Did Die.

And Juliet 2. Whoa! T-O-O. Yeah. And the O's are boobs. Yes. Now it goes. But no, I really enjoyed it. It reminded me kind of like a show Northern Exposure, a show I've never seen but it's got an alien in it. Yeah.

What about you, Mason? What have you got? I like the show Northern Exposure. Have you ever seen it? Yes. Good. It's even on Channel 10. That was a test.

Yeah. I think you passed. The main character's name was? Derek Exposure. That's right. And his nickname was Maximum. Derek Maximum Exposure. Are we talking like was it online presence

or was he physically exposing people? Yeah, it was the second one in a small town in rural Alaska. True. He sounds awful. Yeah, yeah, it was really great. Was it? Yep. I'll stand by that. It was awful. Yeah, yeah. It was really great. Was it? Yep. I'll stand by that.

It was great. Okay, then. Here's an email from Blake. Yep. Says, thanks for the cat therapy. Happy to do it. Long time listener, first time writing in. I recently adopted the stray cat that's lived outside my soon-to-be-sold childhood home.

Sick. She's slowly taken a living indoors with me, but she tends to freak out a bit during car rides and when left alone. On a trip to the vet, I cycled through all types of music, but nothing would calm her down. I decided to listen to something for me instead, so I put you guys on, and for some reason, she stopped meowing and began listening intently.

I thought it was just a coincidence, but after repeat experiments, I have come to the conclusion that she finds solace in your red-hot comic book movie news and banter. We all do in a way, don't we? Yeah, that's true, yeah. Great stuff. Doctors recommend it. I don't know if you know that.

Along with the cocaine lozenges? Mostly the cocaine lozenges, to be honest. Now that I think about it, maybe the stuff that he said was probably just a hallucination based on all the lozenges. Interesting. Either way. Yum, yum. Yum, yum.

Apparently you can get, like, cat music. Cat music? Like they respond to a very specific frequency. There's probably some on YouTube. Yum, yum. Yum, yum. Apparently you can get like cat music. Cat music? Like they respond to a very specific frequency. So there's probably some on YouTube. Mate, let me ask you a question. It wouldn't be the bloody musical Cats, would it be? No. I mean, it's a terrible musical.

Yeah, I think that's unrelated. I think the fact that they both have cats and the name has confused you there, but I think generally that would be unrelated, yeah. Okay, that's interesting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just thought I'd just swing for the fences on that one, you know what I mean? unrelated, yeah. Okay, that's interesting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just thought I'd just swing for the fences on that one, you know what I mean? Yeah, it didn't work that, did it?

I'll be back. And I'll be here to shoot it down. Every time, don't you worry. Ironhead 3. Have you got one? Sorry, do you want to go first? No, you go on. I've got one last one.

Cool. Ironhead234 says, Hashtag weekly planet pod. Hey, could you guys do a 2010 The A-Team movie for Caravan of Garbage? Yeah, probably. Probably. When they remake it as a bad TV show on FX. You think they will?

It's interesting though. CBS. Like, these old properties, sometimes they just, you know, sometimes it can be a big win. 22 Jump Street. Yeah. But not 18 2010. That didn't work, did it? It wasn't very good from memory. They did a

card shuffling things with shipping containers. Yeah. Hated that. When What's His Face does another movie. When District 10 comes out. We'll do the 8. Oh yeah, because Charlton Copley's in it. Yeah, good point. Yeah.

Or if they do Hangover 4. Oh, please. Or if they do another Liam Neeson movie. But what are the odds they do another Liam Neeson movie? I think he's busy making a million movies, isn't he? That's exactly right. He's got time for another movie. Yeah.

How's he going to squeeze it in? Yeah, yeah. To be fair, he hasn't dipped in Bruce Willis quality. No. No, he seems to come 100. And I don't watch that many. No, he hasn't dipped in Bruce Willis quality. No. No, he seems to come on 100. And I don't watch that many. No, I don't watch any of them. He did Ice Road something recently, didn't he?

Yeah, he commits to every movie. So, you know, he's out there. He's not in his own living room. We can't argue with that. That's right. Yeah. You'll never find him at home. Yeah.

What do you got next, Mason? Okay, last email. This is from P. Chavez, and it says, My mom watches ballers. All right, then. That's all it says. What's it about, though? It's hard to say.

No one knows. Hey, I'm giant Vinnie Drama. No, Vinnie Chase. Hey, you better get a good contract. I'm going to beat you up on the rock. Or as I'm known on the streets, giant Vinnie drama. I know there's not a regular-sized Vinnie drama, but I'm so big they call me giant Vinnie drama.

I thought I was an agent that I help players, but maybe I don't. Maybe I just threaten them. Maybe I'm a player who helps agents. There's no way of knowing because no one's watched the show. Except for this guy's mum. Yeah, yeah. Great. Good stuff.

We've got one more here from Joel Acklin who says, Hashtag Weekly Planet Pod. We talked about last week how you could make He-Man and Skeletor get married with your He-Man play sets. You could definitely make them do that, yeah. By the way. Did you finish watching? I did. Did you? No. I liked it. I thought it was them do that, yeah. By the way. Did you finish watching? I did.

Did you? No. I liked it. I thought it was great. Again, I maintain I watched. I enjoyed what I watched. I just ran out of time this week. Also, if you've heard all the hullabaloo about there's not enough He-Man in it,

it seems like there's going to be a lot of He-Man in it in the next whatever. But we'll see. But no, I thought it was good. I don't know what the fuck people are talking about, honestly. Again, as I've said, I've got the working theory. Some people cannot enjoy stuff unless they can imagine themselves as being the main character. Do you imagine yourself as the character of He-Man?

Yeah. I imagine myself as the character Giant Vinny Drama from my favourite show. But again, like I said, they can imagine themselves being He-Man Yeah Or a green tiger Yeah Whatever it is

But they can't imagine them like Imagine a lady being the main character Or not Yeah, no, don't do it We will not speak of such a thing Imagine just enjoying a story about characters And you can't imagine yourself as the main guy Do you even, do you know what you're saying right now?

Not really, I'm just through that there but I think I'm succumbing to cocaine madness. Is that even true? Because I don't even imagine myself as anybody. When I see a thing, I'm like, that's a different person than me. No, it's you, though. Is that? Yeah. Same with video games.

I'm not like, this is me. No, it's you. It's none of them are me. Yeah, you're Luigi. You're Luigi Mario. The worst one. Oh, I like him. You're Luigi Mario. The worst one. Oh, I like him. This is from Joel Acklin who says.

Or Cranky Kong, if anybody. Cranky Kong was actually the original Donkey Kong. Yeah, everyone knows. That's an incredible legacy that I'm leaving behind is what I'm saying, Mason. I killed that plumber with a barrel. I think that's great. Anyway, Snake Mountain, Joel says. Yes. Snake Mountain would be better for He-Man and Skeletor's wedding barrel i think that's great uh anyway snake mountain joel says yes snake mountain would be better for he-man and skeletor's wedding because you could announce the newlyweds with

the weird microphone thing and that's true if you remember original snake mountain it came with an attached microphone for some reason why um so you can marry him yeah yeah or like roller disco announcements you know okay sure fair enough, fair enough. Weird, right? Very. Seems expensive. Did it do like a snake vocoder kind of voice alteration thing? There'll be someone laughing a 40-minute YouTube video on it. It's true.

We just wanted to do it. We're doing it for spite, if anything. This is a very hate-filled episode. Don't you feel? Yeah. I think it's all those memes I read. Yeah, I think so. It's giving me a bad place.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But if you do want to reach the show, in terms of reviewing the show, you can do it in app. Oh, yeah, please. Leave a nice review. If you could. This is from dddmmmmppp22233. Two great mates doing a great podcast.

Thanks, dddmmmm? MMMPPP22. You can put in any username and I'll have to read it. That's true, yeah. And this is from Bigger Sandwich who said,

Oh, sorry. I just realized this week is actually a movie commentary, and surprise, we haven't recorded it yet. Uh-oh. So that will be up by the time this goes out on the regular feed. Yeah, cool, cool, cool. Mason, can you come back tomorrow so we can do a movie commentary? Yes.

Yeah, chuck in a buck. We'd love that. Or we can switch it around. We can do We Got This Covered this week. That's the movie commentary. Someone will be there. Someone will definitely be there.

Anyway, if you chuck in any amount,

it keeps us in red rooster dinners before the podcast, which we treat ourselves to. Oh, maybe that's why I'm feeling bad. Because you ate that red rooster. And they delivered it weirdly. It was cold. They just delivered a handful of chicken and salad to your hands. Really upsetting.

Pleasant. Wasted calories, Mason. Anyway, James, no calories are wasted calories. As long hands. That's really upsetting. Pleasant. Wasted calories, Mason. Anyway, James, no calories are wasted calories, as long as they get you really fat. That's a good point. Right? Yeah. Folks, you can also go to bigsandwich.co, as we mentioned.

It's going to be a sweet new commentary app. Or another thing. Or a different thing. Yeah. We'll find a commentary. It's been locked down, so we've been kind of like, it's been a juggle of recording stuff. But there will be something there.

James, nobody's going to get that, James, because we're the only people suffering through lockdown and having to change anything at all. That's a good point. Everybody else is just cruising. Everyone's cruising, just skating through life. They're loving it. Well, if they think they're cruising too much,

I'll tell them this, you're cruising for a bruising. Wow, that Red Rooster really did knock you for a loop. Yes, Mason. This is the real me, though. A man filled with red rooster. Red rooster and rage. Filled with R&R. That's right.

James is like, I'm going to go away for some R&R. He means he's going to eat a big red rooster pill. And then come back just. Drunk with anger. Let's see, folks. We've got some t-shirts on tpublic.com we do

you can just search for the weekly planet get whichever one takes your fancy doesn't matter we have a grand old time yeah over there

thank you to the Brute and the Basilisk and Rackham for all our musical themes next week The Suicide Squad oh my god a new movie

very excited don't tweet us any spoilers if you've seen it already yeah we don't want to know that's right. But very excited. And, yeah, very cool.

And then after that, something else probably. Spider-Man on December 26th. So I brought up the release dates. Yes. We are literally on the IMDb list. We are last. Wow. Behind Argentina and Saudi Arabia.

And that's even factoring in the slight time difference, correct? Oh, my God. This is ridiculous. I'm so mad. Yeah. Do you think we should start up a campaign? Yeah. To what?

A GoFundMe? Can we just raise some money to keep? Oh, yeah, and just keep the money and just scam people. Yeah, we could do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cool, cool, cool. We could be like, hey, Sony, release it early in Australia, or we will destroy all those little robot dogs you released

like 20 years ago. You know those robot dogs? I think they're all in a landfill. We're going to have to dig around for them. Dig them up and then blow them up. Seems like more work for us, but all right, if that's what it takes. But we could take some. We'd have time to take because we've scammed all that money.

Oh, yeah. So we could take like a week off or whatever. That's a good point. That's a good point. That's a good point. All right, guys, thanks for listening. The Rabdad Gem, you guys. We'll see you next week

for The Suicide Squad. Goodbye. I'll put it on mute so I can put the end sting in. Nice. This podcast is part of the Planet Broadcasting Network. Visit planetbroadcasting.com
