Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of The Weekly Planet where we talk movies and comics and TV shows.
My name is James.
Hi James.
Hello.
Also known as Mr. Sunday.
With me as always is my co-host Nick Mason.
Hello.
Nick Mason, hello.
Hello.
Hello everyone.
We're doing a podcast today, aren't we?
That's right, it's podcast time.
That's right.
Wherever you are in the world, this is your podcast time. Some of it at the very least. How many podcasts are you listening to? That's a, it's podcast time. That's right. Wherever you are in the world, this is your podcast time,
some of it at the very least.
How many podcasts are you listening to?
That's a great question.
I reckon like half a dozen.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ask me.
James?
None.
Just none at the moment.
Yeah, why would you?
Not a single one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're the Andre Agassi of podcasting.
You're the best at podcasting, but you hate podcasts.
You wish you never got involved in podcasting.
And I wear a very elaborate wig.
That's right.
And a headband.
And a headband, yeah.
I just don't have time, Mason.
He's not a reference anybody understands anymore.
Andre Agassi was really good at tennis, but he hated tennis.
And he had a weird big wig.
I didn't actually know about that.
He did, yeah.
It was a partial wig at the very least.
It's in his book apparently.
Yeah.
He married Steffi Graf, another amazing tennis player.
They had kids.
How did she feel about tennis?
I think mostly indifferent.
I think if you're pressured into something for 35 years,
you probably don't like it at the end.
Probably, yeah.
Except for the money.
I think by the end he was like, I kind of love this or whatever.
But no, he hasn't made his kids play or anything.
They'd probably be dynamos, but not interested.
Anyway, Mason, speaking of dynamos.
Hello, we're doing podcasting.
We are.
These are the topics we're going to be covering this week
in the lead up to Mithrigan.
We're going to be talking about the biggest hit of the year as of so far.
Avatar came out last year, Mason.
That is correct.
But it's still the biggest hit of this year, I think.
That is true.
It is.
I think it did surpass Force Awakens,
so it's like the fourth biggest movie of all time now or something.
We're going to be talking about the – what's that movie coming out?
The Thunderbolts movie and what's going on there,
what kind of situation it is because it might not be the movie you think it is, Mason,
or you've already figured it out.
We're going to be doing trailers for Shazam, Fear of the Gods,
65 and Dungeons and Dragons.
And we're also, of course, going to talk about things
that were cancelled this week, as of always.
I thought we were going to escape it one week.
No, Mason, no.
There's an Aquaman, Batman update.
We're going to be talking about Justin Roiland
and all the properties
that he is no longer being a part of.
And then a little bit on The Last of Us and the future of that series, Mason.
Oh.
Let's start with this.
Marvel Studios Director of Visual Arts Andy Park, you might see.
Follow him on Instagram if you don't.
He often posts a bunch of concept art and early designs
for different characters and stuff.
It's all very interesting.
He wrote this.
He put a bunch of images up of the people in Thunderbolts.
He said, Taskmaster, the Red Guardian, Yelena and Valentina
Allegra DeFontaine will be returning in the upcoming Thunderbolts film.
It's like it's a Black Widow sequel.
These movies are connected or something.
It's going to get interesting.
But then he went back. Did he say or something?
Yes. Okay. This is what he wrote.
But then he went back and deleted the it's a Black Widow sequel. Because people are like
hey, we don't want that. We want
an actual Thunderbolts
movie. Which is, you know, fair.
Because it's just like
three people with the Black Widow powers
and three other people with the Captain America powers or whatever it is.
I read somewhere, and this was an unsubstantiated rumor,
but I'm going to believe it's true, that maybe Ghost is out for some reason.
But now I think Ghost is back in.
I think that's a misdirect.
I don't know.
So, yeah, and it's apparently going to have the Sentry or Hyperion.
I think it's Sentry that they're putting in.
I can't really remember.
I'm one of the three people in the world that actually didn't mind Black Widow.
I thought it was all right.
It's not like as good as The Winter Soldier in terms of an espionage Marvel film,
but I thought it was all right, you know?
What did you think of it from memory?
It just should have come out in 2017.
That was also the problem with that movie.
I mean, look, in retrospect, I think for me it probably fell apart a bit
in the third act.
I think it worked way better as, you know, highly trained assassins
running around Eastern Europe punching each other,
but when they were all falling out of a helicarrier or whatever it was.
Yeah, Russian helicarrier.
Russian helicarrier, and it was all CGI and just a lot of people falling for 20 minutes.
Yeah.
I think I lost interest a little bit.
But you would understand that they're 20 minutes high in the air
and that's why it took them 20 minutes to fall.
Yes, precisely.
It was even that scene where they were like,
how high are we going?
20 minutes.
20 minutes.
20 Russian minutes.
That's right.
Hmm.
Very good.
That's a lot of plates of borscht I would have said
Is it?
Yeah
In 20 minutes?
How many you could get down?
Two
That's fair
Yeah
I mean that being said
The people in it
It's a beet soup
Yes
It's um
The people in it I like
So you know
Movies
And that's what I think
The other news that I just remembered
Now that I'm putting in, Mason,
is that Bradley Scarlett Johansson, remember she had a Marvel film
in the works that she was developing or whatever?
No.
Well, she was.
Oh, great.
And now she's not.
That might have been under the old guard.
It might have been something to do with a deal where they didn't pay her.
Remember they were like, we're not going to pay you.
And she was like, oh, you should.
Yeah, I reckon.
You should, I reckon.
Yeah.
On account of the contracts and stuff. Yeah, and that's what happened there. Yeah, I reckon. You should, I reckon. Yeah. On account of the contracts and stuff.
Yeah, and that's what happened there.
Oh, okay.
Was this a project she was producing?
Yeah, apparently.
I don't know anything really beyond that.
Dead Black Widow.
Yeah.
They've given me complete creative control.
Yep.
So it's going to be Black Widow at the bottom of a ravine, just dead.
Yeah, just dead.
Two hours.
I will not be there.
We're getting a body double.
Yep.
We're deep faking my face.
Yeah, you can use the footage from the previous movie or whatever.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know, man.
Do you think if that was what she pitched, that was why it was cancelled?
Do you think that would have done it?
Yeah, I reckon it might have done it.
Yeah, okay, fair enough.
Yeah.
Not as thrilling as you'd hope.
No. Here's one bit of news. Speaking of Marvel. Oh, you love bringing one bit of news every week, don't you? Yeah, yeah reckon I might have done it. Yeah, okay, fair enough. Yeah. Not as thrilling as you'd hope. No.
Here's one bit of news, speaking of Marvel.
Oh, you love bringing one bit of news every week, don't you?
I do, yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's some variety, and you'd be way across this,
but I think it's delightful.
I'll tell you that if I am.
Original Blade star Stephen Dorff is sick of Marvel's worthless garbage,
mocks MCU's Blade.
We already did it and made it the best.
Look. Yes. He's not wrong. He's not wrong. It's true did it and made it the best. Look.
Yes.
He's not wrong.
He's not wrong.
It's true, yeah.
Blade is the best.
Blade 2, probably better.
Do you think Marvel can make a better Blade than one of those movies at this point in time?
I love the casting.
I love the new Blade.
But they seem like they're having some trouble with it
and have been for a number of years. Well, that's true. Well, I mean, speaking of, the article Blade, but they seem like they're having some trouble with it and have been for a number of years.
Well, that's true.
Well, I mean, speaking of, the article says, of course,
Stephen Dorff is no stranger to railing against Marvel.
The actor went viral in 2021 after telling The Independent
that Black Widow looks like garbage,
and then he was embarrassed for its leading star, Scarlett Johansson.
Damn.
Now Dorff is back with a fresh Marvel tirade courtesy of The Daily Beast.
He said he'd only want to star in contemporary comic book films
if they were more like when I started when we made Blade
or the few that have been decent over the years,
like when Nolan did The Dark Knight.
Oh, yeah.
That was a high watermark, wasn't it, for comic book movies?
I don't know if you remember that movie.
That's right.
It actually was quite beloved.
I think Heath Ledger even won an Oscar for it.
For what?
For doing a big acting in it. Oh, like his performance alone. I think that was something even won an Oscar for it. For what? For doing a big acting.
Oh, like his performance alone.
I think that was something to do with it.
Yeah, that'll do.
So Dorff said, all this other garbage is just embarrassing.
You know what I mean?
I mean, God bless them.
They're making a bunch of money, but their movies suck.
And nobody's going to remember them.
Nobody's remembering Black Adam at the end of the day.
I didn't even see that movie.
It looked so bad.
I mean, Black adam is not a
maybe someone should tell him that yeah um but yeah look uh i mean i like you know in terms of
supernatural stuff i did really like werewolf by night yeah uh but in terms of yeah i mean
it's not going to be as bloody isn't it isn't. And that is sort of a key component, I think, of a Blade vampire story.
Absolutely.
There's got to be tons of blood.
Tons of blood.
I mean, he should be, you know, I know he doesn't love a comic book movie
except this one he's in called American Hero.
American Hero from zero to superhero.
Yeah.
Stephen Dorff and Eddie Griffith.
He's got the push powers.
Eddie Griffin.
Yeah. What's on his T-shirt? A's got the push powers. Eddie Griffin. Yeah.
What's on his t-shirt? A wacky slogan?
The Captain America shield. Oh, terrific. It's just the Captain America symbol for real.
So anyway, yeah, as you mentioned,
the original director, Basim Tariq,
exited the film two months before the
intended production start date.
Anyway, Dorff continued to say,
how's that PG Blade movie going for you
that can't get a director?
Then he laughs, it says, because anybody who goes there is going
to be laughed at by everyone because we already did it
and made it the best.
There's no Steve Norrington out there.
What happened to Steve Norrington?
He's alive.
We talked about him.
He did League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and then he disappeared.
Then he disappeared, yeah.
That's probably why.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Earlier in the interview, Dorff said he'd do mainstream movies
all the time
if they were good i mean okay he's also done a movie called um american superhero hero superhero
zero superhero man uh this one's he did alone in the dark he did that movie he did the price we pay
tomorrow your price is right the movie yep he did the uh tomorrow you're gone The movie? Yeah, we did. Tomorrow You're Gone.
But hey, man.
Whatever.
That sounds like one of those movies.
It's an Australian movie.
They've got an American to drop in.
That's true.
And it's about a fight in a car park.
Tomorrow You're Gone, mate.
You're Gone, mate.
He was in The Power of One.
And he also was in one of the seasons of True Detective, I want to say. Was he?
Two or three.
Yeah, with like Ray Fisher or something.
Was that the old timey one?
I can't remember which one it was.
One was the one that everybody liked with Matthew McConaughey.
Yep.
Two was the one about real estate that I thought was actually pretty good.
The Vince Vaughn one.
Yeah, then he was in the three.
Yeah, and then three was the one set in the 50s or whatever.
Yeah.
But yeah, the second one got a bad rap because it wasn't as spooky
and magical as the first one.
That's true.
But they never claimed they were all going to be spooky and magical.
Well, I disagree.
I thought they all said they were going to be.
Oh, Mahershala Ali was also in season three.
Yeah.
With Stephen Dorff.
What the fuck?
Ouch. We worked together for months. Your movie's going to suck. With Stephen Dorff. What the fuck? Ouch.
We worked together for months.
Your movie's going to suck.
You're an idiot.
You're a big dummy.
Well, we also heard that he's not really happy with the way it's been progressing either.
So, you know.
You know.
Hey, Mason.
Hello.
Did you hear this?
The corpse of the DCEU twitched earlier.
Did it?
This week, yeah.
Was that just maybe maggots?
No. Was that another maybe maggots? No.
Was that another fly buzzing about?
I don't think it's maggots necessarily.
Trailer's Ahoy Mason because there's a new trailer for Shazam,
Fury of the Gods.
That's right.
Guess who's back?
Shazam.
Correct.
And what's happened?
There's some ladies are there.
Yeah, and they're like, we're going to get this.
Yeah.
Whatever the thing is.
They need something.
Stuff or a stick or a rock or a bird.
I don't know.
Yeah, maybe.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah.
I saw this cop in a fair bit of hate and whatever,
but the first one was pretty good.
I like the director.
You know, the cast is pretty decent as well.
It's got Lucy Liu and Helen Miriam now.
That's right.
This is going to maybe.
It's pretty good.
Let's see.
He's a dragon.
He's like, I just punched a flipping dragon.
Didn't they take that line out?
They took that line out, yeah.
Because it's not in the movie apparently.
It's not in the movie.
It should be in the movie though because it's a great line.
It should be Shazam describing everything he just did
or is about to do.
And he can't even believe it, Mason.
So, yeah, I don't know if you have much else to say about that.
I certainly don't.
I also don't.
Okay, cool.
But clearly what it seems to be is that Lucy Liu
and Helen Mirren's characters have, they can de-Shazam anybody
they want it seems.
Yeah, they go boom.
They de-Shazam Adam Brody and he's like, ah, I was Shazam for a second,
but now I'm not.
That's true.
How are we going to get out of this conundrum?
Here's a question for you. Probably believing in yourself. Yeah, that would ah, I was Shazam for a second, but now I'm not. That's true. How are we going to get out of this conundrum? Here's a question for you.
Probably believing in yourself.
Yeah, that would help, I reckon.
So this is coming out in March.
Yes.
My question, I've forgotten it already.
Do you think it's going to be any good is the question?
No, I don't know.
I mean, who knows anything?
I've forgotten completely.
Is that the question?
Who knows anything?
Not you is the answer.
Who knows anything?
I might remember.
I might not.
But there was also a trailer for 65, which is Adam Driver's new movie.
I also have a question, but I think it wasn't the question I was thinking of.
So there's more dinosaurs.
Yes.
We see more of the dinosaurs that are attacking him.
I read a thing that maybe they took out a bunch of the herbivores
and people were like, boo!
We want majestic stuff as well, not just big T-Rexes.
I understand that. You want a bit of the wonder and awe of dinosaurs, not just big T-Rexes. I understand that.
You want a bit of the wonder and awe of dinosaurs, et cetera.
That's what we want.
Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah.
That's right.
That is what we want.
It's also confirmed that they're humans, I guess,
or early humans from another whatever.
Here's a question.
Go on.
This wasn't my first question.
This is my second question.
So it's going to be a forever lost question.
Probably, yeah.
Wow. Folks, based on your be a forever lost question. Probably, yeah. Wow.
Folks, based on your listening to the podcast in the past,
if you know what question James is going to ask, email him and let us know.
My question might have been, did you know that Shazam is coming out in March?
No.
Well, it is.
That might not have been the question.
What's that competing with?
Great question because 65 and Shazam are released on the same day.
Whoa. And I was going to ask, which one would you see first? Shazam are released on the same day. Whoa.
And I was going to ask, which one would you see first?
Shazam.
Really?
Honestly, Shazam I would see first.
I'd go 65.
All right, we'll see you after this.
And we'll switch this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
How about this?
We make a pact.
We'll switch halfway.
Why?
I don't know.
How about this?
Something to do.
We both see the movie that we don't want to see
and we never see the other one.
Great.
I do want to see Shazam though, for real,
but I also want to see Adam Driver shoot dinosaurs.
Yeah, for sure.
Absolutely.
And another trailer we got this week.
If you couldn't have that, what if you just shot big birds at a zoo?
How big are the birds?
Like emu and above.
Or that freaky giant chicken.
You seen that giant chicken?
Yeah.
Here's something that I'm going to put in. It's like a man in a chicken suit. You seen that giant chicken? Yeah. Here's something that I'm going to put.
It's like a man in a chicken suit.
You seen it?
Wait, no?
Google giant chicken video.
Oh, fuck.
You'll hate it.
This is ridiculous.
Someone should kill this chicken.
Why is it this big?
Is it a rooster or a chicken?
I don't know.
Because there's a big difference.
I don't know, man.
I have seen this.
Yeah.
What the fuck?
It's like a fucking bear. Who did this. I don't know, man. I have seen this. What the fuck? It's like a fucking bear.
Who did this?
I don't know.
It's got fucking shoes on.
It stole them from the farmer.
It's like, these are my shoes now.
Something's gone wrong.
I don't know what dimension this came from,
but there's been a rift in the space of time.
Do you think that maybe it's like CG'd or something?
No.
And then they've like put a grain over it.
It's too good.
Like, I mean, possibly.
All right, what about this?
It's also from five years ago.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What about this?
Adam Driver fights a shoebill stalk.
Like he has to have a fist fight with it.
That's fine.
Okay, it's fine, isn't it?
Where do you hit one of those?
Where do you be hitting them?
Not the shoeb bill, certainly.
No.
I reckon not the head either.
I reckon they've probably got a very thick skull.
Yeah.
Like they're not operating off their brain.
I reckon if you could get your foot on its neck.
Yeah, sure.
You could like and you stepped on its body really hard,
you could deflate it like an awful balloon.
Sure, yeah. Yeah. Something to think about. Its guts would deflate it like an awful balloon. Sure, yeah.
Yeah.
Something to think about.
Its guts would come out of its mouth.
Yeah.
Yeah, right.
Are they nice?
They're probably nice, aren't they?
They don't look nice.
Yeah, but sometimes things don't look nice and that's all right.
Yeah, here's something that I'm probably going to put in a video at some point.
Go on.
Big Bird was supposed to be on the Challenger mission.
Oh, no.
Yeah, and then they were like,
well, we better not in case this explodes or whatever.
We'll put some teachers on instead.
Yeah.
But, I mean, it would have been on the news, Big Bird is going to space,
and then the entire world would have seen Big Bird explode.
Yeah.
And then they would have had to explain that, no,
Big Bird's not really dead.
He escaped, I guess.
But the real people didn't.
Yeah, right. So it's like. Although I've had to say it's okay, kids, because Big Bird's not really dead. He escaped, I guess. But the real people didn't. Yeah, right.
So it's like.
Although I've had to say it's okay, kids, because Big Bird isn't real.
Yeah, exactly.
Right?
Exactly, Mason.
This is a nightmare.
I don't want to think about this at all.
Yeah.
Horrible, right?
Anyways, we've got another trailer for Dungeons and Dragons.
We were talking about last week that you were like,
they took all the fun and joy out of the clips you've seen in movies
and people are like, what is this? It's joy out of the clips you've seen in movies and people are like,
what is this?
It's confused me.
How did you feel about this one?
I feel like they put some of the joy back in it potentially.
I think they did and we saw some new little clips.
You didn't do a little jump though with a lute.
No, that's true.
But that's going to be in the movie properly, I would hope.
Look pretty good.
Look pretty good?
Yeah.
Do you still think it's going to make a billion dollars?
I've never said that.
I don't think it'll make any money.
It'll make no money.
Yeah, but what if it does?
I'll be surprised.
Yeah.
But not necessarily wrong?
No, I'll be wrong.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah.
But not fussed either way.
I won't be fussed either way.
Okay, great.
Yeah.
Do we know some people that are maybe in it?
Who's to say?
Maybe we do.
Let's just leave it at that.
I hope it's good.
And I hope-
It's Chris Pine.
We're close personal friends with Chris Pine.
How good would it be if that movie won a million dollars and then-
It won a million.
Let's start again.
How good would it be if that movie won a million dollars on a scratch card or something?
And we won a million dollars also.
Okay.
The movie's just milling around a 7-Eleven or whatever.
It's like late at night. He's like, I might get a scratch card. Yeah. And then the movie wins a million dollars also. Okay. The movie's just milling around a 7-Eleven or whatever. He's like late at night.
He's like, I might get a scratch card.
Yeah.
And then the movie wins a million dollars.
But then also we win a million dollars.
How?
I don't know.
The movie wins a million dollars.
I don't know, man.
I was going to say, how good would it be if the movie made a billion dollars
and then we won a million dollars, which was also nothing.
But I just think it would be good if we won a million dollars.
It would be good, yeah.
It would be good.
What I did notice, I think, is there's a lot of stuff in there
that is sort of ripped straight out of the, you know,
the source books, maybe the owlbear,
but also like Justice Smith is flinging out some magic missiles,
which is a classic Dungeons and Dragons zippity-zappity-doo.
Maybe, nerd.
No, it is, though.
Yeah, maybe.
Go on, though.
What else?
I don't know.
A bit of fun, a bit of little jokes, you know.
Yeah.
They set off that collapsing bridge.
A bit of fun.
What is hell and what?
What does the general public think of when you say Dungeons and Dragons to them?
Like I don't know any normal people that I would ask this to
because then I couldn't talk to them anymore.
Like what's a person think when they...
Stranger things.
Okay, yeah, you're right.
So that's good, I guess.
Yeah, so maybe we'll make a billion dollars.
I'm going to ask some people this week.
I'm going to say Dungeons and Dragons. Dungeons and Dragons. guess yeah so maybe we'll make a billion dollars i'm gonna ask some people this week okay i'm gonna say dungeons and dragons dungeons and dragons it does so it does kind of have that energy of
and if you haven't played dungeons and dragons but we usually i have have you yeah oh you played it
on uh yeah yeah but like so as sort of an essential element i think of the dungeons and dragons
experience is the dungeon master creates like this fully realized world and plot or whatever and they're like and and and they're
like okay and you enter the the you went you enter the location and there's all this and this and
this and somebody's just like i'll throw a pitchfork into a crowd or whatever and they're
like it's gonna you sure because the villagers are gonna to get really angry. They're going to, no, I'm going to do it though, you know?
Like it really seems to have that chaotic energy of just a party
of lunatics who just want to ruin all the plans that have been set up.
I understand.
So that's a bit of fun.
Do you think, though, that, oh, my God, what is going on with me?
You're seeking answers, but you don't know what the questions are.
I don't.
I just don't know.
That's the first step.
Isn't it just?
To enlightenment.
Fuck it.
We're moving on.
Okay, great.
Mason.
It's not even that late.
No, it's not.
I've had a long day.
Claire and I were at Impass today.
We had a friend's birthday.
Oh, trouble in paradise.
Yeah.
We had a friend's birthday, right? Trouble in Paradise. Yeah. We had a friend's birthday, right?
Do I know him?
Yes.
Weird, I didn't get invited.
Well, and it's like we couldn't go to babysitter,
so one of us had to stay here.
So I'm like, I will stay here.
So I spent all day with the kids, which is great.
We had hot dogs.
So, you know, holidays are winding up.
Did little adventures.
Played some video games.
There were some naps in there.
It was good fun.
Kids, amuse yourselves.
I'm taking a nap.
I'm taking some naps.
That's right.
But then I walked the dogs after they went to bed, and now I'm here.
You walked the dogs after they went to bed?
Yeah, because Claire came back.
The dogs went to bed, and you walked them.
You just dragged them around while they were unconscious.
No, don't wake up.
This is as good as exercise, I think.
Speaking of, though, Claire, my wife, Claire Tonti,
she got a new single out, Mason.
What's it called, though?
Free.
It is called Free, that's right.
I know that because the cover art says Free Claire Tonti.
That's right.
I saw that and my brain went, Free Claire Tonti with purchase
of second Claire Tonti of equal or greater value.
Oh, you were thinking like she was imprisoned in some kind of like
she tried to smuggle drugs into Bali like Chappelle Corby or something?
She tried to smuggle drugs into Bali?
Yeah.
Isn't that what Chappelle Corby did?
Didn't she want to smuggle them out?
They're just trying to get them in.
Which doesn't make any sense.
No wonder they arrested her.
This is nonsensical.
What are you doing?
So, yeah, if people go on Spotify or whatever,
that would be cool.
And just be like, give it a heart.
That would be cool.
Give it a play.
I think it's a great song.
I think it's very commercially viable, Mason.
Unlike this show, which is way too fucking niche.
Mason, this week in the things that were cancelled.
Oh, yes.
Doom Patrol.
Oh, yeah.
And Titans.
Now, this is the HBO Max statement or whatever.
We don't care anymore.
Yeah, shut up.
We'll soften you up by cancelling some stuff you really were excited to see.
And we're just going to keep doing stuff.
What are you going to do now?
Well, these will be the final seasons of Titans and Doom Patrol.
We are very proud of these series and excited for fans to see their climactic endings, et cetera and so forth.
Now, someone tweeted James Gunn and said,
with Doom Patrol and DC Titans officially ending due
to the new direction of James Gunn and Saffron,
all the fans can say is good luck.
It's a mighty big hill you have to climb to win the majority
of fans over who enjoy the show and movies.
I'll be kicking my feet up waiting.
Ooh.
And James Gunn said, the decision to end the series precedes us,
but I certainly wish the best for the talented group of creators,
actors, and the rest of the crew that produced both shows.
Here's the thing.
Go on.
Even if James Gunn and Peter Safran cancelled this thing,
I think most people don't give a shit.
I think most people don't know these exist,
and that's also the reason
why they're being cancelled.
Like I think, again, the same people that I'd ask about Doom Patrol,
I mean Dungeons and Dragons, if I was like, hey,
do you watch the show Doom Patrol or Titans, they'd be like,
I don't know what that is or what app that's on.
We watch Stranger Things.
That's right.
And we watch Red Notice.
In between seasons of Stranger, we watch one on our phones and one on our television. That's right. And we watch Red Notice. In between seasons of Stranger, we watch one on our phones
and one on our television.
That's right.
We watch one episode of Stranger Things and then we watch Red Notice.
That's right.
And we watch the next episode of Stranger Things
and then we watch Red Notice.
And then we imagine a team up between the Red Notice boys
and the characters from Stranger Things.
Imagine.
Imagine, right?
I can imagine it.
Anyway, this has been a bad couple of months for Brendan Fraser.
Yeah.
Who's in both Batgirl and in Doom Patrol.
I mean, he was winning all those awards and people are acknowledging
that he's an actor again.
So there's that.
Isn't he also just the voice of the robot?
Yes.
Not just.
He's not in it much, though, is he?
There are some flashback sequences where he's, yeah.
But he's not like there every week being like, hello, I'm here.
No, there's a different guy in the suit.
Who is it?
Are you Googling it?
No, I already Googled it.
You already Googled it?
This shouldn't have the answer already.
It's Riley Shanahan.
There you go.
Now, apparently also, it sucks though.
I should watch both or some of, or at least Doom Patrol.
It's too late.
Maybe if you had, they wouldn't be canceling anymore.
I reckon they still would have canceled it if I had watched it.
I don't think it would have made that much of a difference, honestly.
So apparently some of the DCU slate is supposed to be announced this month.
James Gunn has said that.
Yeah.
There's not many days left in this month.
That's very true.
Ah, but he got you there because he said this month.
Then under his breath he went, but I could be talking about any month.
Oh, I could be pointing about any month. Oh.
I could be pointing to any month.
Yeah.
On my calendar.
You can't see it.
My DCU calendar.
Yeah.
So probably by the time this goes out, he'll probably have said it all.
But it looks like we'll be talking about that next week.
There you go.
And also, when you said Brendan Fraser is having a good month,
you know, of course he's being nominated for awards
and he's having a Hollywood resurgence.
A lot of people are treating him like a make-a-wish kid.
That is true.
They are, aren't they?
Wow, you did it.
You did it.
Hooray.
You're the best actor.
You're so good.
Apparently it's very good and whatever.
I haven't seen it.
I think it's on one screen in Australia, in Adelaide or something.
Mason, it's time for an Aquaman Batman update.
Is it?
Yep.
Nice.
This is what Jason Momoa said.
If we had a theme song, it would be the classic Danny Elfman Batman theme.
Yep.
But like as if it's being played underwater, so all bubbly.
What about if it was na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na Batman and also Aquaman. That's nice. That's good. You think that's good? Yeah, that's great.
And then it goes on like that.
Yeah.
He said, Jason Momoa said, I shot a couple of different Batmans.
They were asking to take a photo with me on Hollywood Boulevard,
so I shot a couple of them.
I think there was a Schumacher one and I think an Out of West one maybe.
I don't know. Yeah. I think maybe Out of West one maybe. I don't know.
Yeah.
I think maybe a steampunk guy.
I can't remember.
Yeah.
I didn't see Gotham by Gaslight.
It might have been that one though.
But you just don't know what's going on and we'll see what the end product is.
I'm feeling really flippin' good.
He didn't say flippin' though, Mason.
So hang on.
What is he talking about here?
He shot with two Batman.
He shot with Keaton and he shot with Affleck.
Affleck, right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Aquaman's not going anywhere, so it's all right.
Everything's going to be good.
We're still here.
And then I might be dipping into some other things too.
Hell yeah.
Lobo, because he's going to be Lobo probably.
So there you go.
Do you think we're going to see either of these Batman?
Yeah.
Because if he's going to carry on over into the new universe,
do they want to be like,
and Ben Affleck's here?
Or will people be like,
what?
See Batman?
I think every once in a while,
they want to do something to placate the Snyder fans.
So I think if they're going to,
if they're going to show us,
if we're only going to get one Batman cameo,
I think it's going to be Affleck.
Yeah.
Fair enough.
Not Keaton.
I think more people would probably know Keaton as Batman though, right?
No.
No.
More people saw those movies.
Yeah, Trillian is a guy.
Yeah, I know.
You know, people like seeing an old Batman come back, Mason.
Yeah, I don't know.
Did you see also there was the story that Netflix have bought all the Snyder DC characters? Oh, yeah, I did see that, yeah. Yeah, I don't know. Did you see also there was the story that Netflix have bought
all the Snyder DC characters?
Oh, yeah, I did see that, yeah.
Yeah, that's true.
It's great.
If you're into all of that, God bless you.
I appreciate that.
It's good being a fan of something.
God bless you.
I love you.
Yeah, but it's like it's done.
I'm sorry.
It's done.
Are you really sorry?
Yeah.
I mean, if you love a thing and it's cancelled, that sucks probably.
I don't like anything, so it doesn't matter to me.
That's right.
Cancel everything.
I don't give a shit.
You like dragging your dogs around late at night on walks.
That's true.
Mason.
What if they cancelled that?
Who?
The RSPCA.
Because of your cruelty to animals.
I don't think they would.
Wow.
I think that would be, even for them, that would be too far.
Yeah.
Mason, I should have put this news earlier because this is fucking sucks all around.
So Justin Roiland.
Now, there's been multiple accusations leveled against him.
Well, he was officially charged a couple of years back with, I think it was.
Apparently people knew this, but I didn't.
People knew in the industry.
Yeah. Well, at the very least
with hitting his wife and also
kidnapping, and in addition
bearing in mind the court case is still happening and he's
like, I didn't and whatever, but there's also
been a bunch of texts that... Did he say I didn't
and whatever? I didn't and whatever. And which voice did he
use? Morty, probably.
Because you want to show
Yeah, you're a little boy.
Yeah, that's right.
And also there's just been a bunch of leaked DMs with him
and underage girls and whatever just saying really awful things
that are seemingly confirmed as well.
Yeah.
And now I know people are like, well, haven't we learned anything
and we shouldn't cancel and whatever?
Sure.
This is all terrible though.
Yeah.
And seems some of it is probably true.
And also my feeling is that, and we might,
there might be an update in weeks to come.
I'm sure there will be.
Yeah.
Adult Swim and various other agencies have been like,
we're ending our relationship with Justin Roiland.
And, you know, Rick and Morty is essentially like a billion-dollar property.
Exactly.
And for them to go, instead of going, he's going to step back
for a little and we'll see what we're going to do and, you know,
he'll make some arrangements and he'll sort out things or whatever,
for them to be like, no, we're done with this,
I would guess there's like worse stuff to come.
Yeah.
I mean there's been talk of like stuff in the writer's room and whatever.
And apparently I saw a thing that he only just,
like he doesn't actually write on the show really anymore.
Yeah, for years.
Because I know people have been talking about how like the show's writing
will suffer.
And I know people have talked about it going downhill or whatever.
I think it's like, you know, like a lot of things it's like, you know,
the good ones and bad ones.
But he doesn't write on it. Yeah, he does voice Rick and Morty, but that can, people might, like a lot of things, it's like, you know, they're good ones and bad ones. But he doesn't ride on it.
Yeah, he does voice Rick and Morty, but that can,
people might not like it, but that can be replaced.
People can do those voices.
Anyway, I also think that they're only doing this now
because all of this has come to light.
They could have done this like two years ago,
but because they're all billion-dollar corporations,
this is the time to come out and do this now that the public knows.
Yeah.
I think I read somewhere, somewhere, Twitter.
It was Twitter.
Something along the lines of, like, he hasn't been in the writer's room
for years, like he's not welcome in the writer's room.
Yeah.
But, you know.
But, you know, we'll see.
So Adult Swim ended their association with him.
Also, Hulu and 20th Century Animation have done the same
for Solar Opposites and Koala Man.
He left us Squanch Games on January 16th.
This is four days after facing one count of domestic battery
with corporal injury and one count of false imprisonment
by menace, violence, fraud, or deceit.
This has all happened.
That's from 2020.
All of these industries and whatever and properties
are moving forward.
So the thing is Rick and Morty will now –
the co-creator Dan Harmon will be the sole creator.
Well, as mentioned, all his – the voices of Rick and Morty will be recast.
Also, if you look at the behind-the-scenes Rick and Morty stuff
that they just put on Adult Swim on the YouTube channel from the last –
at least the last year.
It might be longer.
They don't talk to Justin Roiland at all.
He's not featured in any of the videos.
And at the time I thought that was weird that like,
is he not working this anymore?
I guess he's doing Solar Opposites or whatever.
And the other thing is Dan Harmon, he faced accusations of himself
for himself in the writer's room where he like harassed a woman for years
because he wanted to date her and she rejected him.
And that's actually the reason, and that and his alcoholism
at the time or drinking, that he left community.
Oh, yeah.
But he also, these are different scenarios.
Like there are levels to these things, obviously, and there's nuance.
And he also actually came out with like a statement and talked about it
and apologised and the woman that that was, that was affected by him, like, accepted his apology.
Like, that is a different scenario and he handled that well.
And not only that, like, that's all well and good,
but the woman that, you know, was directly involved was like,
sure, I understand and, you know, and it, you know,
it was terrible but, you know, I appreciate you coming forward.
Anyway, fuck all that.
And. I saw some people, you know, tweeted stuff like,
you know, obviously, you know, this was going to happen
because of all the, you know, you just take one look at the show
and you know exactly what kind of whatever.
I think that's true.
I don't think so.
I mean, you know.
Some people just are completely normal, but they're like,
what if a guy did a weird thing in a cartoon?
What if a guy did do a weird thing in a cartoon?
Yeah.
And then look at South Park, you know what I mean? As as of so far nobody involved with that has been like probably i don't
know so you know yeah you're right i don't think it means anything what do you think it means for
all of these properties moving forward uh i mean i don't know what the viewing numbers are like
like maybe it's been in a slow decline for years and they're like we'll cut the cord on this we
may as well.
Maybe the end was near anyway or something.
Maybe they could rejig the show so it's like they could kill off Rick and Morty and then it could be like the Summer and Jerry show.
Oh, yeah.
Space Beth.
Do you think they'll do that though?
No.
I think they'll just – I've seen people do impressions,
but there's also a difference between doing impressions
and doing new lines.
Yeah.
There is a difference.
Well, it's also interesting.
I wonder if, you know, I wonder if there's a nuance to the voices
where if you've got somebody who even can do an excellent
Rick or Morty impression, you would listen to it and go,
it's not quite the same.
Yeah, and maybe he improvs some stuff and whatever. it and go, it's not quite the same. Yeah.
And maybe he improvised some stuff and whatever.
I don't know.
Well, there were those improv episodes, the interdimensional cable episodes.
Yeah, that's true.
Well, I don't know.
I mean, you know.
It's interesting that they haven't really, well, not interesting. It makes sense now that they stepped away from that.
So I guess if he was apparently just recording the dialogue
and not doing anything else, then I guess they weren't using him
for that particular thing anymore.
Anyway.
Wow.
Wow, wow, wow.
Mason, The Last of Us.
I know you haven't watched it yet.
Correct.
But you've played the video game, one of them.
Yes.
And you said okay.
I did.
That's very true.
Well, I'm glad you said okay.
I put it on the box.
You've seen it.
Yeah, that's right.
I can't believe you.
I put it on the Game of the Year edition.
Okay.
All right.
Yeah.
All right.
Okay, so what buttons run?
That's what it says on the box.
It should just push the stick forward more.
No more run buttons.
I don't think people do that anymore.
It's not good.
Don't do it.
Unless it's a side-scrolling platform.
Click the stick in.
That's my review.
I hate the click and the stick in thing.
Anyway, it's been renewed for season two.
It seems as if the first season will cover part one.
Second season will cover part two.
Craig Marzen, who is one of the writers on this along with Neil Druckmann,
because he did.
Chernobyl.
Chernobyl.
He said he doesn't like filler.
So it seems as if this first season.
His face says otherwise, mate. Wow, Mason. That's right. I think he looks normal and he hasn't done filler so it seems as if this face his face is otherwise mate wow that's right
i think he looks normal and he hasn't done any of that actually but if you say so mason
bloody he's had all his buckle fat taken out which is the latest trend i haven't bought myself to
watch any of those videos on oh i've not seen the trends of whatever okay i just mean the trends of
what even that means mason oh yeah what does it mean don't know, but I guess there's a new thing that it's always just a new –
I guess the cosmetic surgery in the beauty industry is just like,
what can we add or remove?
What can we insist that people have added or removed to themselves?
Is it like these parts?
Yeah, just sort of like gaunt.
Like your cheek fat, I guess.
I need my cheeks, though.
I didn't think – like I –
Yeah.
I wouldn't have thought there's anything to give there, but I guess there is.
I thought it was just like flesh.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Weird.
Maybe they staple it on the inside.
Oh, yeah.
I'm the kind of guy if I put on any weight, it's immediately to my face.
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral.
That's rude.
You shouldn't do that.
Where are you going?
Like people you know, you go to other funerals?
Yeah, all the time.
That's rude.
Yeah. I learned it from a bare-naked lady's son.
Oh, I thought they learned it from you.
Mason, anyway, so there's going to be nine episodes this season.
Okay.
And then they're going to do the second.
Oh, yeah, we're talking about the last of us.
I forgot.
Now, you haven't played the second game.
Correct.
I'm not going to spoil the first game or the second game here.
So you were saying the second season is going to be The Last of Us Part II.
Yes.
That means they've got to recast Ellie, right?
No.
You don't think so?
Because in real life she's like 19.
So you just age her up with some different clothes on and whatever.
Oh, Bella Ramsey is.
Yeah, she's like 19, maybe 20.
We'll see.
I haven't watched it.
I've only seen like.
Yeah.
She looks, I mean, she looks young, but, you know,
it's amazing what you can do with, you know,
give her a mustache and you're like, well, this is an old person.
Moustache and an eyepatch.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And a stand on a little soapbox.
So Neil Druckmann has also talked about the pressures of making a part three,
as in the video game.
Because Naughty Dog also came out this week and they were like,
we're not doing any more Uncharted.
That's done, at least for the near and far future.
But they said, if we can't come up with something,
we have a very strong ending with part two and that will be the end.
I think there will be a part three and maybe that will be it.
Because, you know, Chernobyl is nine episodes or whatever it is
and it's done.
But I would also love if they did two seasons and then did nothing
and then in five years part three comes out and then they do part three
because apparently the games, the show won't go past the game.
Okay, right.
Yeah, which is good.
Anyway, you should watch it.
I don't know why you haven't.
I'm going to watch it.
God, I don't have no bloody time on myself, mate.
That's right.
God, I don't have bloody time on myself, mate.
That's right.

Now, just quickly before we talk about Mothrigan, a couple of things.
Caravan of Garbage is back on Thursday.
We're doing the Shrek franchise.
That's right.
I have to start making new videos for the YouTube channel again because I think people
have had enough of me putting four videos
in a row which are compilations and January
is over. You've been reading all
the comments. Most people
are fine with it. Some people are like, what, out of
ideas already? Maybe I
am. And I'm not
presenting any ideas, am I?
I've got a big list, actually. I've got a big
list of ideas.
Uh-oh, we've got an old big list Sunday movies over here.
I've got most of the caravan, not all, but actually maybe not all,
at least three-quarters of the caravan of garbages
thought out for the year.
With some room to move, Mason.
Plus I've got some video stuff, Mason, don't worry about it.
Oh, yeah.
Anyway, my point is I have ideas.
The other thing, maybe there's a bonus returning segment
after this bit we'll be talking about.
Uh-oh.
Maybe it gets a little bit spicy.
Uh-oh.
It's been a few years.
But we'll see.
Mason Mithregan.
Oh, yes.
Better known as Mithregan.
If you're an American.
That's right.
If you remember this, he's got a $12 million.
Wait, so he's Craig Mason. Yeah. Wait, so is Craig Mazin?
Yeah.
Do Americans call him Craig Mazin?
They call him Craig Mazman.
Huh.
Yeah.
Mazin, not Mazin?
Don't know.
Because Maz has an E if it was maze.
Ah.
I don't know.
Okay.
Yeah.
Anyway.
Sorry.
Mithrigan has a $12 million budget, and it's one of those ones where excellent return on investment.
It's already made roughly $134 million.
So far, that's the box office, Mason.
Big payday for us as investors.
You remember to invest that money in Mithrigan, right?
No, I thought you wanted us to just win a million dollars.
I was just doing that.
I was being metaphorical.
Oh.
But I said it doesn't matter.
Anyway, huge return, not for us. Oh. It doesn't matter. Anyway, huge return.
Not for us.
This is weird.
What do you think the story was?
But it could be directed at anybody.
Yeah. So James, what did you think the story was?
Okay, there's a girl and her parents die in a car crash and her auntie says
instead of looking after this girl, I'm going to
build her a robot.
I'm going to beat her with a robot.
And the little girl's like, I love this robot.
The robot's like, I love you, but also guess what else?
I'm going to kill a robot.
I'm an absolute fucking murderer.
I'm going to do big murders.
I'm going to do new innovative murders.
Yeah, but it's in a – I'm doing murders 3.0
because I've got new web technology.
That's right.
This Mithrigan would have more spyware and shit in it
and like upgrades and stuff and it would probably be
on like a subscription basis if it was a real thing.
Am I right, Mason?
Yeah, mate.
And if you had to murder you and then everybody would be like,
do you want to?
What have you got to?
Put your credit card number in and I'll murder you.
And you'd be like, no, actually I'd rather not.
You're like. Fair enough.
But no, I mean, if you're a fan of the Chucky movies,
this movie is kind of like what if Chucky was actually a robot that went bad,
which was also a recent Chucky movie that they did,
if you recall correctly, Mason.
Yeah, right.
What if Chucky the murderous doll went bad?
Yes.
Can you imagine that?
There's also a little bit of Terminator in here, obviously.
Yeah, a little bit.
We'll talk about that, I think, in spoilers.
And some alien stuff, I would even say, which, again, is more spoilers.
I think, look, as like a PG-13, like mostly bloodless,
pretty kind of fun and entertaining kind of situation,
I thought this was pretty solid. Well, yeah, so this was written and entertaining kind of situation. I thought this was, you know, pretty solid.
Well, yeah, so this was written by Akella Cooper.
Yes.
And she wrote, among other things.
Malignant.
Yeah, she wrote Malignant.
She wrote Hellfest.
A movie called Hellfest.
I don't know what that is.
I don't know what that is.
But, yeah, she wrote Malignant.
And so it has, I think, it's more,
I would describe it as more mainstream than that.
Yeah, because there's not like a horrible, like that's got horrible violence in it. I think it's more, I would describe it as more mainstream than that.
Yeah, because there's not like a horrible,
like that's got horrible violence in it.
Yeah, so Malignant was more, and I think also Malignant was sort of written and directed in a particular style
and sort of where the entire universe is slightly odd and off-putting.
Yeah.
Whereas this is way more of a like it's the real world more or less.
People talk and act like it's the real world.
Yes.
There's this one crazy element which is the killer and murder.
Which they don't really even explain kind of how it works
or where it really came from.
Like the woman from Girls is just like, I built this.
She's from Girls.
I haven't seen Girls.
She's from Girls.
She's one of the girls.
Okay.
She's one of the titular girls.
I won't tell you. I don't have to tell you twice. I've definitely seen her in other things than the movie Girls. Yeah, she's from girls. She's one of the girls. Okay. She's one of the titular girls. I won't tell you.
I don't have to tell you twice.
I've definitely seen her in other things than the movie.
Yeah, she's in Get Out.
She's in Get Out.
She's the, well, I won't say.
Yeah.
She's the person in Get Out.
She's the one who gets out.
Yeah.
But I won't say of what.
That's right.
You know, I did think.
Because that movie is just a series of people getting out of things.
That's right.
Whether it being, you know, a car or some plans.
Yep.
Or a horse.
Yeah.
And it's just we see their emotions.
Yeah.
You know, and maybe somebody's, you know, they get a call
and they're like, oh, you can't come to brunch.
Oh.
But secretly they're like, yes.
Great.
I love that.
Thank God I can sleep in.
Exactly.
And also The Little Girl in it is played by Violet McGraw,
who I thought was really good. Because, you know. So this is the regular Little Girl. The God I can sleep in. Exactly. And also The Little Girl in It is played by Violet McGraw, who I thought was really good because, you know.
So this is the regular Little Girl.
The regular Little Girl.
Yeah.
Often, like, you'll see people be like, boo, child performers or whatever.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I think I'm not really one to go, like, if I think someone,
like a kid is bad in a movie, I normally just don't say anything.
Oh, we didn't talk about the Razzies.
Yeah, well, that's what I was about to say.
So this week the Razzies nominated an 11-year-old girl
who was in the new Firestarter movie who also,
by all accounts of people who have seen it, were like,
look, the movie's not great but she's, you know, she's all right.
She was okay and whatever.
And the Razzies were like, we're sorry.
But, I mean, I think you've mentioned this before but.
Is it that I hate the Razzies?
You hate the Razzies and I also hate the Razzies,
but the Razzies should be railing against and making fun of, like,
huge mainstream, just built by committee, terrible movies in that way.
But it's always like, oh, you tried to do something different, did you?
Well, ha-ha.
Embarrassing.
We're going to give you a little prize for being a loser or whatever.
Yeah, it's just, I don't don't know again fuck the razzies but anyway they were like we're sorry we nominated 11 year old girl i guess you should know that what are you doing because some if you
look at some of the nominations and i don't have any here at all i don't know because the oscars
were announced this week yeah yeah but it's all but it's a lot of like it is you know there's a
couple of mainstream things but then it's also like some like short films and indie films or whatever
and it's like we're nominating this for worst drama or whatever,
but it's just like leave it alone.
Good for you, I guess.
Do you see this piece of news?
This is my one bit of news, but I love because I've already done my one bit
of news.
Would you consider this like an additional bit of news?
Is this second bit of news? Is this second bit of news?
Is this one bit of news again?
How do you label something like this?
I'd rather not put any labels on it.
I was going to say you probably don't want to put a label on it.
You don't want to put a label on it.
But apparently the Academy of Oscar Motion Picture Arts and Sciences,
or whatever it's called, is looking at whether or not Andrea Reis
for his grassroots campaign violated Oscar campaign rules.
She was in, what was that one
the thing mason yes she was in birdman i remember she's in birdman yeah but what was she in this
year can't remember yeah but basically like apparently you can just like wine and dine all
the academy members and you know this is how all this shit works yeah but apparently you can't go
on you know social media can't go on dates with them.
Exactly.
That's right.
And just be like.
Amsterdam.
She was in Amsterdam.
Was that what she was nominated for?
Must have been, yeah.
She was in Matilda as well.
No, right.
It wouldn't have been that.
Yeah.
Okay.
But it's just like.
I don't care.
No, exactly.
Also, she's good.
I don't care.
Give her an award or don't.
I don't care.
Yeah.
Just in an episode of Black Mirror where you could see everyone's brain or whatever.
That's most of the episodes of Black Mirror. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Just in an episode of Black Mirror where you could see everyone's brain or whatever. That's most of the episodes of Black Mirror.
Yeah.
It's just different angles on the brain.
Anyway.
Don't look at my cerebrum.
That's one of the episodes.
That's called Don't Look at My Cerebrum.
Don't Look at My Cerebrum.
I'm shy.
I'm playing a porno video game.
But that's okay in the future.
That's fine.
That's actually not that weird.
To you in the present day, you might find it weird.
But for me, it's good.
Your mate Ronnie Cheng is in this?
He is in this, yeah.
Yeah.
Pretty toned down for him, I thought.
Sure.
Because he's pretty like up there.
Yeah.
But he's absolutely in his wheelhouse
as a kind of the one of the one of the managers of this this toy company yeah who just um just
kind of he's just furious yes he's furious about what his employees are doing on company time
i.e building a killer robot when they could be making cheap furbies yeah i mean i know they're
designed like those cheap furbies are designed to be like within the movie they're awful, but it's so awful.
So then I'm like, yuck.
Also, Jenna Davis is the voice of Mithrigan,
and Amy Donald, who is a little girl, is in the Mithrigan.
So a little girl, not a little person.
No.
She's like a dancer and like a professional,
like athlete, gymnast kind of thing.
And, I mean, the voice performance is great.
Don't get me wrong.
But the physicality of all of that, just really bizarre.
Yeah.
And I think if you, I don't know,
if you went with a different direction with the way she moves
and dances and little head moves and all of that,
I don't think this works as well.
Yeah.
I mean, just, I know there's like the same people know is like the dance up the corridor
and whatever, but there's a whole lot of little things in this that are like, Jesus.
And there are moments when I'm like, I can't tell which part of this sometimes is an animatronic
or a person because it's a mixture as well.
Because when she's like, it's pulled back and you see her walking or whatever, it's
a rubber face.
And then they CGI it if they need it to like move about and there's also an animatronic for up close where
like puppeteering yeah right and whatnot but yeah i mean it's just really good use of all of that i
thought that was very good yeah and like the song it didn't look like a short person in a kid's suit. No. It looked like a kid.
That's why it's so upsetting.
Yeah, exactly.
The dance one especially because you don't expect that level of grace
from a child.
Exactly.
That's why it's so upsetting.
Yeah, it's too thin.
If I saw a little girl doing a little dance at a talent competition
and she had that level of skill, I would storm the stage.
I would throw a chair at her.
Just for a robot probably.
What are you doing there?
It's in a shopping centre or something.
Okay, sure.
Yeah, okay, great, great, great.
I'm going to Just Jeans.
What for?
That's a trick question.
They sell other things than jeans.
I know they do.
Just Jeans.
You're probably going to wee in one of the change rooms.
That's what I thought you were going to do, Mason.
Sure.
That's what you get up to.
Anyways, I think also what was good about Mithrigan is there's also a,
I mean despite her being like an upsetting psychopath,
there is a kindness to her that she demonstrates with the little girl.
Yeah.
Because the whole thing about it, I mean, we'll talk more about spoilers,
but you would have seen in the trailer,
the programming goes awry because she's designed to protect this little girl.
She's lost her parents.
And I think there's moments of like.
In a shopping mall.
In a shopping mall.
Yeah, that's right.
There's moments in it where, you know,
having conversations and comforting her and whatever,
where you're kind of like, you know, I see why this robot is doing
the things that it does.
It's not entirely bad because often the people also it kills
are not great either.
Sure.
I don't think you should kill people or whatever,
but I get it is what I'm saying.
Oh, right, yeah.
I think it's not as like Chucky, which is like ridiculous
and fun and gory, he's a literal psychopath.
This there is, there's like nuance to this robot for some reason.
You see both sides is what you're saying.
I love seeing both sides, Mason.
I like sitting in the middle and going, hmm,
I think I'm above all of this actually.
That's right, yes.
Yeah.
I see everybody's perspective.
How do you, if this doll went to market in the real world,
like was sold as a product.
For $12,000 and whatever.
Do you think kids would like it?
It's off-putting, isn't it?
Yeah, I mean the face and you'd have to give it a non-human face.
You'd have to give it like an iPad screen face or make it more C-3PO
or something, you know?
No, I don't think people would like it.
Give it an iPad face and you could download various celebrity faces.
Yep.
You could have it look like Benedict Cumberbatch, for example.
Oh, that's what mine would do.
Oh, hello.
Yeah.
That's what mine would do, Mason.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
How far do you think we are away from getting,
you're talking about if this was real, from getting a Mothraken?
You know, because every now and then they'll be like,
this robot can do a backflip and whatever.
Oh, just in terms of technologically.
Yeah.
Not as a toy, but as a...
Yeah, I mean, I think as soon as it's like,
as soon as they can do it, it'll be like commercially viable
within like four to five years after that, I'd imagine.
So where do you think we're at?
I mean, the Boston Dynamics robots can do amazing stuff.
That's what I'm saying.
But also you need the AI within it to be able to interact and, you know,
chat bots and whatever are pretty good these days.
50 years.
50 years, yeah.
Yeah, I think it's further than people think.
But, yeah, I mean you've seen like the demons.
Also, if any AIs are listening to this, maybe now or in the near future,
I didn't mean 50 years, you know.
You didn't mean 50 years. I know. You didn't mean 50 years.
I mean, just don't kill me is what I'm saying.
Oh, just don't kill me.
Just don't kill me.
Why would they be upset by 50 years?
No, just maybe they're upset.
Oh, because they're like, we're here now already.
Don't you think they'd be like, we've tricked this idiot?
No, yeah.
And they're okay with that?
Yeah, that's maybe a good point.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think something else, Mason.
Oh, yeah.
That sounds a bit
bloody right mate
what is wrong with me
look at me
with my bloody thoughts
and feelings
oh yeah
okay
yeah
because I mean
I hate to harp on
about like Elon Musk
you love harping on
about Elon Musk
I do actually
but um
because Megan is
on this
I like being right
Megan in Mithregan
in this movie
is
Mithregan
is
is um
she's touted as being
less expensive than a Tesla
yeah or some models of a Tesla.
Sure.
But also, like, a Tesla is a car and can get you places.
I mean, it's not a good car, but it can get you places.
Like the bloody Burns War.
Whoa.
You'll say anything.
I see both sides.
Mason.
But you know when Elon Musk brought it, he's like, look, we're building a Tesla bot.
Oh, I remember that.
It was just a guy in a suit.
Yeah, but then more recently they showed the actual prototype of the robot.
Awful.
That thing is decades away from being anything unless he just steals the tech.
50 years.
Yeah, but like, come on, man.
If you even get this to market, this is nothing.
And so, yeah, I think you're right in the sense of like, yeah, it's a while away.
And whenever you see those Boston Dynamics doing flips and whatever,
they've got like a big backpack on them.
I know, it's true.
Well, it's got a little man in it.
It's got a little man in it.
I don't know what they're doing.
Pulling levers and so forth.
Yeah.
It's got that guy from Ocean's Eleven in the backpack.
Oh, very good.
He'd be able to do that, wouldn't he?
Anyway, spoilers.
All right.
First of all, best movie ever or worst movie ever?
Yeah.
I think if you go in. I said best movie ever or worst movie ever and you said yeah. Yes, I. All right. Oh, first of all, best movie ever or worst movie ever? Yeah. I think if you go-
I said best movie ever or worst movie ever and you said yeah.
Yes, I see both sides.
Oh, no.
You've got to pick one.
Best movie ever, yeah?
Yeah, best movie ever, yeah.
But I think it's, look, if you're looking for something as like gory
and off the wall as malignant, it's not, it's like you said,
it's more like commercial and whatever.
And look, if you haven't seen it at cinemas,
I think you could also just wait for streaming.
It can't be that far off, I'd imagine.
But no, it's fun.
I enjoyed it.
And I'm going to take all of my kids to the zoo after we watch
the movie Mothraken.
Spoilers, Mason.
Yeah, it's gone.
Ronny Chieng.
Oh, no, he gets murdered.
Sure does.
A dog gets murdered.
Oh, no. A lady gets murdered. A lady gets murdered. Other people, Alison, he gets murdered. Sure does. A dog gets murdered. Oh, no, that's bad.
A lady gets murdered.
A lady gets murdered.
Other people, Alison Williams nearly gets murdered.
Others.
Oh, Mathurigan tries to hang that guy.
Yeah.
Anyway, it can do the Terminator voice changing thing.
Yes.
And it also boxes a mech.
Just like the end of Aliens.
Yeah, that's true, yeah.
And it can do the Terminator thing where it's cut in half and it still works.
Oh, yeah.
It does that weird rise up sometimes. Robots doing things. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or whatever. Tears a boy's ear off and it still works. Oh, yeah. It does that weird rise up sometimes.
Robots doing things.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Or whatever.
Tears a boy's ear off and that's great.
But there's the threat of more Mithrigans
because we know we're getting a sequel to this.
Is she going to Mithrigan her own new body and whatever?
Maybe.
Is that what's going to happen?
Or maybe it'll be Mithrigan 2, the deadliest house.
Oh, no, that's not fun though, is it? A deadly house. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's not spooky. Maybe it's Mithrigan 2, The Deadliest House. Oh, no, that's not fun though, is it?
A Deadly House.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's not spooky.
Maybe it's Mithrigan 2, she's in the internet.
Yeah, but again, not spooky.
You want a physical embodiment.
Yeah, yeah, but she'll be in the internet for a bit.
Then she'll get out.
Yeah, yeah.
Not to use a virus because they're like, Mithrigan's actually everywhere.
She's in all my cars.
She's in my toothbrush.
I always put my toothbrush in a particular setting but now it's
in a different setting setting setting setting setting setting setting um they shouldn't build
that into a toothbrush i don't think i don't think so either oh no my toothbrush has been
set to murder mouth murder they shouldn't put that on a toothbrush. No, they shouldn't have done that.
I'm going to send an email to the manufacturers.
I think the idea of appliances going awry could be interesting.
But I think you need a physical Mothrigan.
Yeah.
Like, you know, it's not good enough to just have a voice in a house.
You know, like, then again, like they did the normal Chucky movies
and then they did the robot Chucky movie.
And now they're back to regular Chucky, I think.
Yeah.
Is he magic?
Yeah, probably.
Not the robot one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But then, like, what if they did Poltergeist but the house just has a virus in it?
Oh, yeah.
Like a similar way you can do this or whatever, you know?
I think I'm, speaking of Boston Dynamics,
I think she will end up in a Boston Dynamics-style robot for a while.
And then she'll upgrade and she'll break into a, I don't know,
a nanotech lab or something.
And build a new face and et cetera.
Yeah.
I think you're probably right.
Good stuff, Mason.
Anything else?
No, it was a bit of fun, wasn't it?
It's worth giving it a bit of a look-see.
A bit of a look-see.
All right, Mason, let's move to the next segment of the show.
Okay.
What do you think it is?
It is, unless we're going to do a radical departure from previous weeks,
from the previous 10 years, I think this is going to be what we read
and what we're going to read.
Mason.
And toothbrush reviews.
No, we're going to do a radical departure.
Okay, what is it?
Because guess what's back?
It's been the longest of times.
Uh-oh.
We're doing hate mail.
Yes.
But the hate has an ace in it.
Whoa.
Should I explain what this is because it's been many years?
I think so yes
So basically
You do that I'm going to let the dog in
Okay
Don't let the other one in
I only let one in
How about I pause the recording to send the audio over to Collings
And then we can start it again
Guess what folks it was actually two segments
Dog time
That's true
And hate mail but the hate has an ace
You didn't hear the dog time unfortunately
No we did
You were there
I was there
Anyways hate mail but the hate has an ace in it You didn't hear the dog time, unfortunately. We did. You were there. I was there.
Anyways, hate mail, but the hate has an eight in it.
It's basically me taking YouTube comments,
which are specifically targeted at me or Mason, but mostly me really,
and just talking about how much they hate us for various reasons.
And I like to take some of these, eight in particular, and read them out.
That's why it's called hate mail, but the hate has an eight in it.
But it's more than eight.
It's always more than eight.
Yeah, so here we go.
If we only got eight, very disappointing.
Yeah, it's not enough.
By the way, this is me whittling them down.
There are so many more.
Here we go.
This one's on the Twilight New Moon Caravan of Garbage,
which is the second Twilight movie that we did that I also said was Batman Begins.
He says, there you go.
Dislike and unsubscribe for your hard work.
Take your clickbait videos and shitty jokes somewhere else.
Wow.
I can't take them.
This is my channel.
You need to go to a different place.
You go somewhere else.
No, that's fair.
I guess I'll take them to YouTube.com.
I reckon I lost a lot of people there.
You reckon?
It was worth it.
In the thousands?
I couldn't not do it, Mason.
I had to do it.
Once you think of the best joke in the world, you have to go through with it.
Exactly.
You've got to do it.
This is two comments from user ZF1BW1ZE8P
on our Thor The Dark World Caravan of Garbage.
Oh, yes, go on.
YouTube needs to fix the crap the algorithm does.
It's hurting fans and everybody else.
Kind of repulsive and disappointing.
Second comment.
I got forced from a Superman video onto this one.
It's too defective to ignore anymore.
Uh-oh.
Wow.
Who would have thought that someone who loved Superman
would also love Thor?
A similarly super-powered man in a cape.
What a world.
I wonder if he was on the Superman Caravan of Garbage video as well.
Oh, no.
I don't know.
Yeah.
This one's from FamousDex1782 on Abandoned Marvel Storylines.
I disliked and unsubscribed because of the disgusting message
for the last Jedi in this.
Do you have no shame?
Guess not.
No.
It's been like, it's been six years, man.
It's been 60 years since that movie.
No one's thinking about it anymore except for these guys who hate it so much.
Also, you know what I've noticed a lot so far?
A lot of disgust.
Yeah.
A lot of disgust and unsubscribing.
I try to group these as well.
Do you think this is an ongoing trend in the world of fandoms?
Oh, okay, yeah.
I feel like fandoms are really ramping up.
I like to think so.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's good to ramp up to something.
I think so.
Even if it's being a weird loser.
Mason, the 10.
No, all these people are lovely.
By the way, we're just observing.
I don't want you to find these people and harass anybody.
We're just observing, okay?
Unless you know them already.
In which case, be like, hey, man, nice comment, idiot.
This is on.
Hit them up at work.
This is from Neo J.
So on the 10 lowest ranked MCU films.
Remember where we took the films that are lowest ranked
on Rotten Tomatoes of the MCU?
And we made fun of them.
No, we just went through them and listed them and talked about them, right?
Terrific.
This person says, instantly unsubscribed for seeing Captain Marvel in top three.
You guys have bloody problem and so the tomato things.
Again, I didn't make the list.
Like Rotten Tomatoes literally made the list.
Can't believe you took the list and the list had Captain Marvel on it
and you said that it had Captain Marvel on it.
So the list.
Yeah.
This one's from.
I mean, well articulated though.
Yeah, I thought so.
Wrong, but, you know.
I got it.
Got all the words right.
Yeah.
I think.
Yeah. It's from words right, I think. Yeah, yeah.
It's from Iconosis8160.
23 minutes of fluff and no mention that the movie...
Oh, this is on Beef and Vendetta.
I'm carrying around the garbage.
23 minutes of fluff and no mention that the movie
is about a corrupt government that invented a virus
to intentionally infect the public so they could solicit
and control the vaccine.
Jesus Christ, you guys.
The point of this movie is political revolution.
You didn't even mention the past two years being spot on about the plot
of this movie.
Are you both daft?
I mean, yes.
Yeah.
But also I think we mentioned the most important thing about the movie,
which is a big eggy and a bready.
And the masks.
Yeah, everybody wore those masks.
Yeah.
I think that's important.
Which is like how in the, because we're all wearing masks these days.
And the government made all the virus.
I mean, we're wearing physically masks,
but also emotionally we're wearing masks, I think, also.
This one is actually.
I like this eggy and the bready, but you actually don't.
You know?
I get it.
It's an emotional mask.
This one's actually directed specifically at you.
Oh.
From Alice M who says, how do you hate Aladdin, you clown?
You absolute bozo.
Aladdin is the greatest kids movie in history.
I did like it.
I think I wrote Mason hates Aladdin in the title.
Oh, nice.
That's probably why.
That's my fault.
Yeah.
This is one from James One Daily.
I mean, some would say that maybe the fault there is perhaps not watching the video.
No, it says you're a bozo, an absolute bozo.
So you're at fault, if anything.
I do have those big shoes.
Yeah.
That honk.
Big honking shoes.
Go on.
James1Daily who says, Mr. Sunday Movies equals trash.
Don't hate on Raimi.
I quit YouTube for hate.
It's not worth it.
He quit YouTube?
For hate.
So he's just going to not watch YouTube?
Because he was hating or because
he was being hated on? Because he was being
hated on. I think those movies are pretty good.
As I said in the video.
Yeah, right, right, right. This one's
on the biggest box office bombs
of 2022. I get a bit of this for these.
Some, like, similar things.
Without, that's capitals when I do
that, without the annoying
voices of the two commentators,
this would have been an okay video.
Disagree.
Shut the hell up, you two.
So what, silence?
Well, some people just want a list.
They do love a list, don't they?
Yeah, so I think that's.
We've said that before.
Yeah, people just want a list.
See, here's the thing.
I think people do want a list, but the type of list is a mystery to me.
Yeah.
If I knew what types of lists people wanted
because that's what people want they just want they want they're like it's always like every
weapon on all the megaman movie in games and then it's it says movies slash games and then it's just
like a megaman he's like regular gun ice guns Gun, whatever. It's just that and it's got 8 million views and I'm like,
I mean, I would have, maybe I would have thought of that
but it's already been done.
Well, the thing about that stuff is as well, it's easily replicated.
That format can be replicated where I feel like what I've leaned
into is our voice, whether you hate it or not,
it cannot be replicated.
Oh, so true.
Yeah, which is like also a detriment.
Yes.
Yes.
I don't know why anybody would want to, but, you know,
it does set us apart.
Go on.
Fire gun.
That's good.
I remember that from Mega Man.
As anyone talking, it would just be text, wouldn't it?
Yeah.
You defeat the boss, you get the weapon and the text.
I think so, yeah.
Yeah, cool.
Rocks.
One guy, you just get rocks. the text i think so yeah yeah cool rocks one guy just you get rocks just rocks yeah but he's called guts man for some reason sure yeah it's from user f dash fp1 hf6 jd
9g why is two guys who never made a movie talking about movies great point wait why does anybody
talk about that's right i think the only people who
should be able to critique movies are people within the circle of directors of movies
who famously always just pat each other on the back and give each other awards i think that's
important i think if you want to get any kind of honest feedback on a movie it's you get you get
one of your friends to critique it absolutely Absolutely. Now, I also understand that criticism is a completely different art form,
if you can call it that, which it isn't, Mason.
Well, you know, legitimate criticism.
People know what they're doing.
I wouldn't consider this, any of that.
Like that in itself is like a skill, again,
that we're not necessarily very good at.
But there is definitely a difference between making a movie
and critiquing a movie.
I don't know what the difference is, though.
I think they're the same.
Yeah.
Here's one on our Green Lantern Caravan of Garbage video.
Also, I think we're good at reviewing movies.
I think we're okay.
I think we're very good.
I agree.
We're the best.
But I think we butt up against the modern day movie reviews,
which is just like you should keep it coming.
You should stay a fan of the MCU.
They're doing a great job.
No spoilers.
No spoilers. Mason, Green Lantern Caravan of the MCU. They're doing a great job. No spoilers. No spoilers.
Mason, Green Lantern, Caravan of Garbage.
Teth Adams says, also, what are you doing?
Oh, that's a Black Adam reference, isn't it?
What are you doing?
Here we go.
I'm excited for this.
I didn't watch this one.
This is out.
That's quoting you, I think.
But you decided to review it, and that's the problem with fandom, folks.
Bullshit reviews from MFs that are not objective and gear reviews to the negative because it drives drives clicks essentially
they are click whores you're nitpicking at stupid shit and sound like you're desperately trying to
sound funny but comes off as pubescent incel losers laughing at their own quips honest review
from someone who actually watched it the movie fails largely because they should have had more
space battles and they picked the wrong villain.
Imagine seeing
one of us go, no, I didn't watch it.
Anyway, here's all our thoughts.
And not thinking, I did
watch it. I didn't watch it
but I have seen it. I watched it
all the video. Yeah, but I think you also said
maybe you didn't watch it. I don't actually remember. Oh, as a joke?
I don't know. Yeah, exactly what I mean. One of my pubescent
jokes. One of your, yeah, insult pubescent jokes.
One of my horny pubescent jokes.
This one's from Dork Brandon 4422, who just says,
couple of limey turds.
That's us.
There's a couple of Star Wars ones here from our-
Hello.
From our-
There's a couple of Star Wars ones here in our Star Wars prequel,
Caravan of Garbage Ones.
Some Bryce Graves, who says, you two, wrong two, are total clowns.
Don't know any.
Maybe he's talking about the band.
No.
No.
Don't know anything about Star Wars.
Does it say anything about our album showing up on his iPod?
No, no, it says Y, as in Y-O-U, two, as in T-O.
Okay.
You two are total clowns.
Don't know anything about Star Wars
but the about has a nine in it.
Huh. Instead of an O.
Sounds like somebody doesn't know about
typing. Yeah. Who would put
a letter, I mean a number in a word?
Ridiculous.
This one says
another turds one.
You did say you grouped
them. Yeah, that's true.
You turds are in love with the sequels probably.
That's us.
That is us.
We're turds.
A couple of sequel loving turds.
Is that the same guy?
Bryce Graves.
No, different guy.
Same guy actually on the two different prequel reviews.
There you go.
Well, this was from our Wakanda Forever review
from Monsieur Dubat something, something, something.
Okay, so you guys are simps, unsubscribed.
Have luck with the woke crowd.
We will.
I think we have and we will continue to do so.
We're going to go from strength to strength.
This is on best and worst legacy characters,
Marvel legacy characters from Mr. Khalid.
I don't know.
This channel is a prime example of get woke, go broke.
They're struggling to even get 100K views,
while other channels are thriving getting millions of views.
Never change, James Mason.
Always stay politically correct.
That's us.
So that was on a video about just some characters.
Yeah.
Just some characters that they have.
Yeah.
This is a character they have.
That is pretty woke of us to say that's a character that they have.
I would say my views have been pretty consistent over the years.
I mean, they will eventually dip,
and maybe it will be because we're too woke.
Maybe it's because I stopped putting any effort in.
Mason.
Maybe you did that years ago.
That's true.
And things just go out of favour regardless.
All I'm saying is we get slightly more than 100,000 views.
Even that, that's good, though.
I think 100,000 views is great.
100,000 people watching the video.
This one upset me, obviously, Mason.
Uh-oh.
That previous one, I guess.
This is from Jim Benson who says,
Stop the vapid blabbering back and forth and provide some intelligent commentary
or shut the fuck up.
No.
Hang on.
What was that video that was on?
No idea.
If I didn't put it in, it wasn't relevant.
Oh, it's important.
Okay.
All right.
MrDaddy4240 says, all caps, by the way,
Stop being stupid.
Black Adam was one of the best as this is however
sup movies should be made with this type of action.
Surrulled little G boys and little girls
that aren't a love story in every fucking movie
because your life is pathetic.
Sup movies should have huge and long fights.
Still all caps? Yep.
It's all caps. Huge and
Sup movies should have huge
and long fights. Sins
not like Marvel. Two punches
and the fight is over style.
Black Adam better than every movie
other than Infinity War and Civil War.
Now, I should let you know, that was me.
It's good. I like it. That's why I read it.
I did like the movie Black Adam.
This one is on our Avatar 2 review from Hive Tyrant.
The writing in this one is a lot better.
My guy, what?
This writing was shit.
This movie is just really expensive fan fiction,
yet you didn't like the first one.
Please delete your channel.
It is very expensive.
Also, like, I don't know, I'm just stuck on the idea
that this is expensive fan fiction.
You mean someone wrote it.
The guy who made the first one.
The guy who made the first one had a hand in writing the second one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's from Jordy170101 who says,
you hang a lantern on not shilling,
then totally shill by calling Luke a creep at 31.52.
Whatever Legends Luke did, at least he was a hero no matter what.
Look, in response to that, I'm going to say,
whatever I said in this video, I've forgotten,
and I don't care anymore.
Something about Star Wars, clearly, but I don't care.
Clone Wars 2003 one, I recently compiled it.
It's from RKSABZ on the Scorpion King Caravan of Garbage.
If only movie reviewers were reviewed because you guys are garbage.
Some people do that, though.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right, got a few left.
Imagine, didn't we say it was pretty fun?
I don't know.
You liked it.
I didn't.
Yeah, right.
I'll stand by it.
This is on our Mission Impossible Caravan of Garbage.
So what's he complaining about there?
You got one guy who liked it and one guy who didn't like it.
What's his stance on it?
Somewhere in the middle, which is what I like.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This is on Mission Impossible Caravan of Garbage from Charles Dward,
who says, oh, I get it.
This video popped up in my recommendations and clicked on it thinking
that the Caravan of Garbage was the movie.
But as I continued watching the video, I realized the commentators
are the garbage.
Yes, he's got us.
He got us.
That is good.
That was the mistake we made.
Yeah.
And it's been years, but someone's finally cottoned on
and they've got us with the ultimate insult where they go,
actually, the garbage is what you do.
All right.
We've got three left.
Two of them are to do.
Two of them are, they're a bit of length to them.
They're about the Dracula.
Recently we talked about Bram Stoker's Dracula.
Oh, yeah.
Horny Dracula.
Horny Dracula.
Very horny stuff.
It's from Adam X Environmental.
Ooh, maybe you should be more environmental.
That's all I'm saying.
It's important.
It's important to support the environment.
Sure.
Maybe he's doing the best he can, all right? Hey it's important it's important to support the environment sure maybe he's doing
the best he can
all right hey how
is it that some
unintelligible goofball
gets 250k views on
his opinion
oh they've all been
100,000
I thought so
opinions are entirely
like anuses
everyone has one but
this fool sports a
cloaca when he starts
talking nonsense
I'm an expert on
Dracula
I've been following
every storyline from
the printed page to the silver
screen for over five decades, and
Coppola's version of the timeless vampire tale
is the most accurate of any besides the original
novel. Well, yeah, because that
was the original, I mean, the
novel would be the most accurate because that was
the source material of this particular
novel. The novel's actually the second most accurate.
The only drawback was
Keanu Reeves as a Brit.
He wasn't the perfect guy for the part,
but the story was spot on with only one deviation from the printed page.
I'm not going to mention it because anyone agreeing with this tool
doesn't have a clue about it.
It contains every character and scene described in the book.
It gives a reason why Count Dracula became the vampire extraordinaire
after Vlad Tepes defeated, brackets, and then lost to the Turkish horde.
Don't forget, all of the battles actually happened
and are documented in history.
The outrageous garments and hairstyles of the 1897 Dracula
who meet Harker at the front door of his castle,
it was what noble elite wore at the time.
That's not true.
The woman we talk about in the video,
she designed the clothes off like Japanese art
and all sorts of stuff, remember?
Yeah, yeah.
Anyway, I don't think this guy's an expert on Dracula.
You know what I think though?
Yeah.
I think this guy, I reckon if you searched,
I reckon this guy just puts this spiel on every Dracula video that exists.
Oh, okay.
I've already gone on and on about this, but after 50 years of following
every horror-generated form of entertainment.
Oh, this guy's old.
I didn't even think about him.
He's old.
And that's also 50 years of following, so he wouldn't have followed from birth.
I'm tired of reading and listening to morons just looking for attention.
This amateur with a camera and microphone.
You don't have a camera.
You don't have a camera.
It's no different. He's talking about francis ford coppola yeah i wish i had the time to make videos like this newsflash
modern cinema especially horror sucks you don't know shit so we said it was pretty good i mean
i remember saying we liked it a lot yeah yeah also this guy doesn't have the time because he's too
busy eating his own poo do Do you think that's why?
Yeah.
And this one is from the 26th Hour, also about Dracula.
Yeah, kid.
Just the old maid coming out of the ear.
Well, as soon as someone is...
There's two of us.
Yeah.
How could you not pick that up if you watched the video,
which I don't think they did?
Well, as someone who's been in the film industry,
this is a masterpiece
of filmmaking with full in-camera effects do you even know what that means yeah we talked about it
in the video and the only dracula film that actually tried to reproduce the book which it
did quite successfully i suppose you think silence of the lambs is also shit they'd say that
i don't like it as much as hannibal but it's a it's fine
so i suppose you think silence of the labs is also shit not my favorite film but the best film ever
made all right great that guy had some sort of mental problem i think that emerged as he was
writing that time to go back to flipping burgers and frapping over Twilight because film critique ain't your forte.
Disagree.
I think we're very good at it.
Yeah.
And this last one is from Cameron Matlock who says,
Rambo 3 is the second best Rambo, so WTF are you talking about?
Shut the hell up.
It's always somebody trying to discredit something good.
Just shut the fuck up.
No, it's not.
It's a bad movie.
It's a bad movie, yeah.
And that, Mason, is Hate Mal, but the hate has an 8 in it. It's a bad movie. It's a bad movie, yeah. And that, Mason, is Hate Mail But The Hate Has An Eight In It,
the not regularly recurring segment that we do on this show.
I think we learned a lot there.
All we mostly learned is the internet's a mistake.
Yeah.
And you should have to pass a test before you're allowed
to make a comment on the internet.
And also, look, I know I bring on this stuff because I call them
caravan of garbage.
Half of those are people who just saw that and flew into a blind rage.
And that's fine.
I think it's cool.
I think it's cool too.
Remember, we're also observing.
Observing, aren't we, Mason?
We're observing.
And we're not involving ourselves.
That's correct.
Mason, what's the next segment of the show?
Next segment?
What is it?
It's called What We Read.
Yep.
What We Gonna Read.
Wow, I'm ready for that right now, actually.
Nice.
It's the same song now.
I'm doing the theme.
Wow, I'm ready for that right now, actually.
Nice.
It's the same song though.
I'm doing the theme.
Mason?
Yes?
What have you been reading?
Tell you what, a couple of things.
Yep.
I watched the movie The Menu.
Oh, yeah? What did you think?
I thought it was interesting.
I don't know if I loved it.
Yeah.
But I thought it was a bit of fun.
Was it because of the socio-political commentary?
Yes.
Yeah, okay. What about it were you not was a bit of fun. Was it because of the socio-political commentary you didn't like? Yes.
Yeah, okay.
What about it were you not enraptured with?
Was it the food that you didn't like as much? Was it any of the food?
Something is happening with me.
I know.
Yeah.
What was it?
What about it were you like?
That's a good question.
I'm not sure.
I think maybe Tonally it was all, you know.
Yeah.
But it was also interesting, like there were a couple of just good gags
in it that Tonally didn't really fit with the rest of the movie,
but I'm like.
Can you give me a good example?
There is a, well, without some spoilers for the movie The Menu.
So you're going to say without spoilers but just a little spoiler?
Yeah.
So the, well, I'll say without.
I think it's on streaming anyway, isn't it?
Yeah, yeah.
So without, yeah, it's on Disney Plus now.
So without spoilers, it's a movie about a group of unrelated people
who all go to a special tasting of an exclusive elite chef's menu.
And it's – how much is it again or something?
It's like $1,500 or something like that.
I thought it would be more to get to an island
and it's just like 12 of you in a room or whatever.
I feel like it should be more.
There is actually an article you can track down.
I might send it to you, which is like it's Vince Mancini
from Film Drunk, I think, who interviewed a bunch of celebrity chefs
and food reviewers and stuff and was like,
is this a sustainable business model?
Yeah, and? Yeah.
And?
Maybe.
But anyway, all this group of people go to eat this exclusive tasting menu.
Yeah.
And is there sinister stuff afoot?
You better believe it is.
You bet your ass there is.
You bet your sweet bippy it is.
But there's a moment in it where you realize that everybody who's there,
they thought they were deciding to go there, but in a way,
all the people there were chosen for specific reasons,
and they're all important, deep reasons,
but there's a moment where one of them is like, why am I here?
And the person who made the decision is like,
I had a day off once and I watched your movie and it was bad
and it ruined my day.
And so this is happening now.
And he's like, oh, yeah, that was a bad movie.
Just petty.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I thought that was, you know, totally a bit all over the place,
but I thought it was interesting.
And I don't know, just some great character moments.
We've got Nicholas Holtz as this guy who seems like he's just a big fan
of food and celebrity chefs and he loves all that and you're like,
seems like I'm not a bad guy.
But then it turns out, very bad guy.
Bad guys all around.
Yeah.
I enjoyed it a lot.
Yeah.
Cool.
Wow.
Well, you know what I read?
What did you read?
The first issue of Mark Millar's Nemesis. Oh, Nemesis Reloaded. Now, cool. Wow. Well, you know what I read? What did you read? The first issue of Mark Millar's Nemesis.
Oh, Nemesis Reloaded.
Now, Nemesis finished.
It was like four issues from like 10 plus years ago.
Something like that, yeah.
It was basically like, what if Batman wore white and he had all the skills of Batman
and the brains of Batman, but he was an absolute fucking lunatic.
But also, he's the only one in the world.
And he's the only one in the world, yeah.
And the best detective in the world has to stop him and whatever.
Yeah.
This is a reboot.
It's a reboot, isn't it?
Which is strange because initially there was going to be a continuation
that somebody else, some other billionaire psycho would take on this mantle.
The original series ends sort of teasing more to come.
Yeah.
Different villains and all that sort of stuff.
But this is a reboot, which makes me think that Mark Miller
is testing the waters to see if people are still interested
in the property so they can make a movie or something about it.
Well, I read the thing in the whatever, the thing,
and it says it's the one that people probably talk to him most about.
Right.
It's never kind of gone away.
It's always been interesting.
But I don't know whether, it's only been one issue,
I don't know yet whether, I don't know whether it's only been one issue i don't
know yet whether i don't know why he's like rebooting it and not doing a sequel like because
it's just like it's the same guy not sort of and it's like just a different story with this guy
and i don't understand why he's into just like a continuation right question how different is it
then it could you not is it hard to tell yeah it's no it's different it's just a different story
huh yeah but it's the same premise really just a different story. Huh. Yeah.
But it's the same premise, really.
Same premise, yeah, yeah.
But I think also you could have made it a sequel.
Yeah.
And so I don't know.
Maybe it will end up being connected.
But I don't think I remember.
I'm sure there are examples of this.
But somebody just clean rebooting their own property,
just being like.
And he, like, talks about it, like why he did it.
Isn't there going to be an Invincible reboot or something?
Are there?
Probably.
Okay. Don't know. Terrific. Robert Kirkman is doing be an Invincible reboot or something? Are there? Probably. Okay.
Don't know.
Terrific.
Robert Kirkman is doing it as well.
Maybe it's a thing that people are doing.
And again, there's probably other examples of it.
But anyway, I'm going to stick with it because I liked the first one
and so I'm going to do this.
But another thing I actually just listened to, Mason,
on my walk tonight as I dragged my dogs around.
The podcast The Weekly Planet?
You're very welcome.
It's a good one, isn't it?
Yeah.
What's your favorite episode?
Like our pubescent humor? Yeah, I love it. It's a good one, isn't it? Yeah. What's your favourite episode? Like our pubescent humour.
Yeah, I love it. It's a YouTube
channel that was just recommended for me and sometimes
this just works, I guess. It's from
a channel called Daily Mind Trap. Okay.
I say daily, but she posts
every few months, so you know.
Australian.
Oh. And it's very interesting. It's only got about
7,000 subs at the moment. I'm ready to tall poppy
them. Here we go. The video is called Chronically Underwhelmed. This might be why. It's only got about 7,000 subs at the moment. I'm ready to tall poppy them. Here we go.
The video is called Chronically Underwhelmed.
This Might Be Why.
And she basically talks about how like when you, as an adult,
oftentimes she talks about herself specifically.
You have the ability to buy, you know, a lot of the things that you might want.
Whether it be a new phone.
An even newer phone.
Yeah, not talking like luxury items like a yacht or whatever.
I'm talking about like, you know, you get a new TV or whatever. I could easily afford a yacht, but go on.
I know you could.
But it doesn't.
I could just sell the yacht that I inherited and buy a new yacht.
But you don't like feel anything because everything you buy is like choked down
in signing up and subscription services who would dare and like apps that go on forever
and then it breaks down because the next thing is coming
and whatever.
So all the joy out of finding something is not just
because as a kid, you know, you're filled with wonder
and awe but because the experience of purchasing
something now has been like ruined.
Yeah, right.
And I just thought it was really interesting,
like a really interesting perspective and it reminded
me of something recently where I went to get a picnic rug, right?
Oh, yes.
Because they were doing a school concert, my son's school,
and I needed a picnic rug or whatever, right?
Yeah, yeah.
And so I go into whatever the bed and table and whatever,
one of those.
Bed and table and whatever.
Bed and table and lamp, I don't know.
Brackets, maybe we've got picnic rugs.
You'll have to come in to find out.
Anyway, they did.
Nice. lamp i don't know brackets maybe we've got picnic rugs you'll have to come in to find out anyway they did nice and they're like i go in and they're like this picnic rug is 70 or whatever but if you were like i won't pay it no i was like okay but then it was a decent one and whatever because i
think i looked into it and they're like but if you sign up to our service you give us your email
one dollar yeah it's like half. And I'm like, no.
And I understand also that that's like what a position to be in
to just be like, I'll fucking burn that $35 if I never hear from you again.
But I just remember the time thinking like, the fuck is this?
I just want a fucking picnic rug.
And that's not the person's fault.
She was lovely.
Like that wasn't the problem.
But you had to burn her.
Yeah, I had to.
And you get her.
But just like, and then I.
Listen, lady, I watched this video.
But I just having to justify like, I don't want to give you any information.
I just want to get this and get the fuck out of here.
I need to deal with some crimes.
Why is it complicated?
It's a picnic run.
Yeah, anyway, it just made me think.
But again, like.
I need to wrap it around my head and pretend I'm a nonna so I can rob a bank.
I'd probably cover my face with it at the very least,
put it over my head and put holes in it.
Yeah, right.
It'd sound like a ghost.
Yeah.
Tartan ghost.
Flat ghost.
But, yeah, so I just think, yeah, this experience of, like, you know,
consumerism, like fast fashion, the way that phones burn out every three years
and all of that stuff.
I say through an iPhone or whatever.
Oh, mate.
Hello.
Anyway, I thought it was great.
And that's similar themes to the other videos?
I don't know.
I just listened to the one.
Maybe they're all terrible and this one's amazing.
Maybe.
But I subscribed, so I'll go back and have a look.
There you go.
Anyway, so that's called Daily Mind Trap.
There you go.
Did you feel trapped?
No, I felt like I was informed.
You felt free?
I felt informed, Mason.
That's great.
Yeah.
Isn't that the trap, though?
Being informed.
Because then you'll keep coming back.
That's true, actually.
Yeah, you're right.
I'm going to walk into the ocean.
Mason, what are you going to do?
Well, the other thing that I watched.
Yeah.
And I missed this when it came out.
Was it looking at your own butt in a mirror?
No, I wouldn't miss that.
Okay.
Sorry, go on.
Yeah, I get exclusive streaming rights for that.
You should subscription service that.
Yeah, I should, shouldn't I?
Go on.
I watched a movie from 2012 called Killing Them Softly.
Have you seen this?
Is that the Brad Pitt one?
Brad Pitt is in it.
Okay.
And it's directed by Andrew Dominick, who directed Chopper.
Oh, yeah.
And Blonde, the much maligned movie, which I haven't got to yet,
but maybe I'll get to.
Yes.
It divides critics.
Well, apparently Anna Diamus is very good in the movie.
But it's very good.
Okay.
As you might expect, you know, Andrew Dominick.
I remember it it's called
what's it called again
Killing Them Softly
Killing Them
not Killing Me Softly
no
but it's got
isn't it like
it's like mob people
but they don't have that much money
and stuff
yeah it's mob
but it's like
real small time mob stuff
yeah
it's really
Ray Liotta
James Gandolfini
Scoot McNary
Scoot McNary
Ben Mendelsohn
yeah yeah yeah
so what a great cast
you know
so a couple of people are no longer with us.
James Gandolfini, Ray Liotta are not with us anymore.
But it's just really interesting.
It's a very small-time heist kind of movie.
A couple of real low-rent guys just decide to knock over a card game
and steal a bunch of money.
And then Brad Pitt has been brought in by some made guys to, you know,
take care of him and he brings in Gandolfini and it's just this sort
of this picture of all these just really odd dudes.
Yeah.
Really interesting.
Mendelssohn particularly plays, he's just an Australian guy.
Oh, cool.
Love that.
He's just Australian for some reason.
Love it.
And he's just like just real dirty and gross and awful hair
and just a real gruff. He's just one of the dirty and gross and awful hair.
Classic Med-Mo.
He's just one of the – again, we talked about The Stranger some weeks or months ago about like a very particular kind
of Australian man.
Yeah.
And he's like this, but he's like the funny version.
Yeah, okay.
He's just real gross and grubby.
Love that.
Yeah.
I'll check it out.
Just saying awful stuff and doing awful stuff.
I could do that too.
Yeah, worth a watch.
I guess I missed it because it was just kind of at the time.
It just came and went.
I remember.
I remember it.
It just looked kind of generic, I think, maybe.
Yeah.
Maybe I missed it, which is interesting because I would have been, you know,
I was banging up for Erosion's movies and so forth.
Sure, yeah, yeah.
Chopper was good.
I don't know.
Chopper was good.
Yeah, but I just saw people recommending it on Twitter.
Did he do Buffalo Soldier as well?
Buffalo Soldier?
Dominic, Andrew Dominic.
Yeah.
It was like a Wacken Phoenix.
Oh, maybe.
Maybe I'm thinking of a different guy.
He did The Assassination of Jesse James?
Yes.
No, that was Gregor Jordan.
A different guy.
Well, there.
I think, yeah, because the guy, Gregor Jordan, did Two Hands. There we go Well then I think yeah Because the guy Gregor Jordan did Two Hands
There we go
That is every movie
That I've ever seen
I love knowing
All those
Everything about you Mason
What's the time for next though?
It's time for next
Letters
Time for next letters
The classic one was
Letters
Oh letters
We love letters
Oh this goes back
Ever
Mendoza's short on this one
No don't
Give me your phone
No
Give me my phone
You just want to Upgrade me to the next phone No Mendoza's short on this one. No, don't. Give me your phone. No. I think right now we're going to do that as.
You just want to upgrade me to the next phone.
No, I just want to smash it.
Oh, come on, mate.
Mason, this is the segment of the show where we go, hey, send us a letter
and we'll maybe read it out.
Maybe you want to send a Gmail to weeklyplanetpod at gmail.com
or maybe you want to hit us up on Twitter, hashtag weeklyplanetpod,
just like Bad Cat has done, who says, hashtag weeklyplanetpod.
Dak had to be a pretty good runner to be assigned to Luke Snowspeeder.
Are there any other minor characters in movies that die right away
but still must have been excellent at their job?
I don't necessarily think that is true.
I think you could pair anybody with Luke Skywalker.
Sure, right.
And he would, like, raise your ability. Uh- with Luke Skywalker. Sure, right. And he would raise your
ability. Uh-huh, sure.
I'm not saying that he wasn't. I just don't think
he proved himself at all.
Because he died immediately. Well, obviously, Stephen
Seagal in Executive Decision. Very good.
Who makes a bold sacrifice
at some point in the movie. Yeah.
Early on, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who else?
Who else is a memorable one
scene character? What about the guy in Kong Skull Island,
how he goes to sacrifice himself with grenades?
Oh, then the monster just bats him in a wall and he blows up.
That's funny, yeah.
Yeah.
I know he's in the rest of the movie mostly,
but that's a fun little moment.
Oh, he's a good one-scene guy.
Yeah.
You know who's a good one-scene guy?
The guy who tortures Pierce Brosnan and James Bond.
He's like a weird, he's in the movie Ghost.
We talked about it.
You remember he's like an expert in torture?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And he comes in and I can't remember his name.
We talked about it in the movie.
Yeah, he's also passed away since.
Yeah.
But, yeah, he's just.
Excellent at his job.
One scene, really odd and like professional.
And then when the tables get turned, he's like, oh, no.
Christopher Walken in Pulp Fiction, he's only in one scene.
That's a good one, yeah.
He's so messed up he can't watch up his bum.
He was excellent at that, wasn't he?
He really was.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, a lot of good.
We could probably do an episode on like characters who showed up one time
and we were like, cool, and whatever.
Do you want a list, James?
Sure, let's do it.
I'd love a list.
Okay, here's a few.
Billy Crystal in The Princess Bride.
Yep.
He's Miracle Max.
Fair enough, yep.
For a minute.
Who's his wife in that?
It is Carol Cain.
Carol Cain.
Don't know who that is.
Neither do I, really.
How about this?
The lady in, what was the last time you saw Planes, Trains, and All the Reveals?
A couple of years ago.
Oh, Carol Cain.
I know Carol Cain.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She's great.
The lady that they go to rent a house. Oh, she's fun. She's in a bunch of stuff. Eddie McClurg. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's great. The lady that they go to rent a house.
Oh, she's fun.
She's in a bunch of stuff.
Eddie McClurg.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, scene stealer.
Alfred Molina in Boogie Nights
absolutely
yeah that's a good one
he sings
Jessie's Girl
or whatever
yeah yeah
absolutely
that's a good one
yeah
oh
Alec Baldwin
and Gary Glen Ross
that's true
he comes in
and he goes
I hope nothing bad
happens to me
in 40 years
or whatever
oh you know what
and speaking of
right at the start
of the movie
Dave Bautista
and Blade Runner
2049
that is a good one
that is a terrific one a lot of people like this movie should have movie, David Bautista in Blade Runner 2049. That is a good one. That is a terrific one.
A lot of people like this movie should have been about David Bautista's character.
But I think that's also what I liked about that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Sappamorton was his name.
There you go.
There's a bunch of stuff.
That's a good example.
Here is James.
What about like all the people that usually, oh, you've only seen one.
But like Drew Barrymore at the start of Scream.
I mean, that's not her job.
Right.
To get murdered at the start of Scream one.
Great job, though. Yeah, she did really well.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
Well, definitely. Let's do an episode on that. Maybe we will, Mason.
The best one-scene guys. One
guy turned up. It was Drew Barrymore. This is an
email from Alexander. Hello, Alexander. Listening from the hospital,
he says. Whoa, what are you doing there?
G'day, James. I saw an assorted dogs and children
in the background. Yep, yep, yep.
Alex here from down the peninsula way in Victoria.
Oh, yeah.
I've been a listener to the show and enjoyed every YouTube video
for at least the last five years,
and I must be on my fifth or sixth listen back through.
Damn.
Since I started listening, I've found my feet in my job as an engineer,
bought a house, have started a proper relationship,
and all around started to feel like an actual adult.
That's great stuff.
Well, that's great for one of us.
But hearing you guys chat on the stupidest rants and laugh about
absolutely nothing is my favorite weekly reminder to never give up on
what you enjoy and be childish forever.
Speaking of dogs in the background.
This job does afford me the luxury of being a total fucking idiot.
Right?
I can't do that in my everyday as much.
As a bit more info, I'm currently listening to episode 462
from the hospital following shoulder reconstruction surgery.
Ooh.
When I collapsed and dislocated my shoulder backwards
a week before Christmas.
Oh, man.
I'll be largely stationary the next month while I recover.
What kind of stationary?
Bloody stapler?
Bloody ruler?
A bloody ruler?
Bloody notepad?
I'm sorry about your shoulder, by the way.
Yeah, but a bloody pencil.
A bloody, like a pack of like different coloured little sticky notes.
Sticker poster notes?
Generic branded?
Yeah, but it's different colours though.
About a bloody.
A pack of, what about that little thing?
A Posca?
Yeah, Posca.
Like a little, you know, it's a little plastic like container,
like half a jar and it's got like a wet sponge in it and you use it to like
Yeah, instead of licking your finger, yeah.
Throw that out by the way, gross.
Alright, okay.
Recovering and looking forward to your
early 2014 onwards chats
as my backdrop to recovery.
Nice. All the best on that.
That's right.
Here's his question. What do you think or hope will be
the next cinematic juggernaut
with what feels like the MCU starting to stagnate?
I'd love for something D&D-esque to give some huge fantasy epics.
I don't know whether this is true.
Go on.
But I think everybody is reassessing video games.
Bob's Raymond.
True.
But everybody is reassessing video.
They must be coming back soon, right?
I'm not having an announcement, but everyone's coming back, you know?
They must be reassessing video game adaptations at the moment.
I know it was recently announced that Phoebe Waller-Bridge
is going to write on the new Amazon Tomb Raider series
that nobody wants or something.
I like the last Tomb Raider.
Maybe some people want it.
But I don't know.
Who's going to be the new Tomb Raider?
Who will Tomb Raider for us?
Who will do it?
Don't know. Someone new. Let's say someone new. Okay. Let's say someone old. Okay. Who's going to be the new Tomb Raider? Who will Tomb Raider for us? Who will do it? Dunno.
Let's say someone new.
Let's say someone old.
That'd be good actually.
Old Tomb Raider.
Mason, that's a great question.
What do you see as, you're giving away a billion dollar idea here,
but what do you think is the next kind of hot property?
I think I even somewhat predicted a few years back that,
this was years ago, that we were going to get like
Force Awakens-style reboots for a while.
Yeah, legacy sequels.
I think that was after Mad Max maybe.
Yeah, that was my first thought here is like this might be an era.
We might do 10 years of legacy sequels, you know,
because people love nostalgia and Maverick did really well.
Oh, yeah, they did a good one recently,
so that's going to keep happening.
And Avatar is not a legacy sequel, but it kind of is
because it's been a long time.
That's true, yeah.
So I reckon it might be that.
I reckon it might be everything we loved from the 80s, 90s, 2000s again.
The problem with legacy sequels, though, you eventually run out of legacy.
You run out of legacy.
Because then you hit the era of legacy sequels. That's right out of legacy you run out of legacy because then you hit the era of legacy that's right and you well then they'll stop but i'm sure they're sure they've
planned that out they're like okay we've got three decades of this and then we'll whatever i mean you
know but it it relies on all the actors still being around true and they can afford them and also can they transform something
into a legacy sequel without – is it still doable now?
Yeah, absolutely.
Can you make an American Pie present-day sequel?
Would you take a shot at that in the present day?
That's not straight to streaming.
That's not straight to streaming but also do you take –
there's a lot of stuff that's problematic from that stuff.
Do you take it all out? is it still the same movie?
Yeah.
I bet a lot of conversations have been had.
Oh, no doubt.
About this sort of stuff.
Well, if we could do an episode on legacy sequels,
like Ghostbusters legacy sequel.
Oh, and Tron, obviously, is coming back.
Halloween, Tron.
Well, Tron itself.
Last Tron was kind of a legacy sequel.
That's true.
Scream, Hocus Pocus, Space Jam.
You mentioned Mad Max, Blade Runner, the Creed movies. Scream, Hocus Pocus, Space Jam, you mentioned Mad Max, Blade Runner, The Creed movies,
Scream,
Cobra Kai. Okay, I think that's
what we're in. I think
this might be it, honestly.
Godfather Part 3,
Terminator, last one.
Ah, Godfather Babies.
I'm vetoing Babies, Mason.
You can't veto all the Babies. I've done
it. Wow. I was waiting for you to say it. I've used my first vetoing babies, Mason. You can't veto all the babies. I've done it. Wow. I was waiting for you to say it.
I've used my first veto of the year.
Email in if you think James is able to veto all babies-related jokes.
It's the same joke, Mason.
I know.
That's why it's funny.
If you really want it, I'll take that back.
No.
Do you need it?
No.
Okay, I've used my first veto for the year.
Interesting.
You don't even want to hear what Baby Godfather has to say?
No, Mason.
Wow.
Do you want to say it?
I'll take it back.
I'll be honest.
I haven't thought about what he would say yet.
But it would be like.
No.
It wouldn't be like anything.
It's like nothing.
It would be like a Marlon Brando voice. No, it wouldn't. It wouldn't. I like nothing. It'd be like a Marlon Brando voice.
No, it wouldn't.
It wouldn't.
I get this veto back.
Nah.
This is ridiculous.
Fine.
So I get it back?
Yeah.
No, you can have the veto.
No.
I think I'm done with babies.
No, I'm taking it back.
Okay, great.
Because you broke the veto.
I still have three vetoes.
You come here on the day of my
christening. You needed this, didn't you?
Yeah, that's right.
On the day of my christening, you asked me
for a bigger favour.
See, it's pretty good, right?
But it's funny.
Oh, give me a little
carrot stick or something.
What? A carrot stick.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
No?
It's not good, is it?
Well, you wanted this to continue.
I know.
This is what happens.
All right.
You could have a little carrot stick, but you'd say it in Italian.
I guess he would.
Yeah, nice.
I'm going to use my three vetoes most.
You can keep doing babies if you want.
The riff.
Yeah, yeah.
This is from John Pound who says.
You have a little baby, Chino.
It's true.
Yes.
I knew you did need it, didn't you?
Yes.
You did look upset when I mentioned that.
What's the point of a veto if I can't use it, Mason?
If you can just deflect it.
Veto Colleone.
I know.
I thought of the joke already, but I didn't say it.
Well, you should have.
I already said John Pound. I already said this one.
This is from Amanda who says,
Welcome back, mateys. My
query for today is
pet related. How are Ollie and Zippy getting
along slash doing? And for Maiso,
has he ever had any pets? He seems to be an
animal lover, so I'm curious why he doesn't have any himself.
Happy to have you back.
Thank you so much.
It is good to be back.
You're welcome.
Ollie and Zippy, for the most part, get along very well.
But Ollie is old and is just like, ah, sometimes.
But they're fun.
They're like, you know, they get along together and they go for little walks.
And Ollie growls at other dogs because she doesn't like interacting as much.
And Zippy's like, I'm going to kiss everything.
Sure.
I'm going to kiss everything.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But they're both good.
They're good fun.
Puppies are a lot of work.
If you're thinking of getting a dog, I would say don't.
Have one of these dogs.
Yeah, come and take one of mine.
No, don't.
Don't do it.
That's still one of James' dogs.
That's still my dog.
That still would be awful.
Mason, you've had cats growing up.
Yes.
Any other thing that you have or want do you want to
do you got a wolf that's not true vetoing you having a what uh wow now you can do that one
you want to sell amanda no see the thing about because i have a very odd schedule yeah i think
i think dogs especially need regularity yeah i mean a cat you could just have like bouncing
around your apartment if you wanted or whatever.
That's true.
But then there's also, there is a restriction if, you know,
this applies for children also.
You have to go back home at some point.
Whereas if you're pet free, you can just disappear forever, really.
You can Bruce Banner it.
You can just put on a backpack and walk into the sunset
and never come back.
That's right.
If you were to get a pet, what would you get?
Probably a dog.
Yeah.
What kind of dog are you thinking?
Scruffy.
Yeah.
Then you've got more fur and stuff or whatever,
but you can then go, ah.
It's true, yeah.
It's all worth it.
Ah.
Yeah.
I told you I had an interaction in the park with somebody
who kept asking me about my dog and asking why it wasn't on a lead.
But I told you this.
This was an off-lead park.
I had Zippy.
She looks like a beagle, but she's a beagle-er, not a beagle.
And this guy's like, that's a beagle.
You shouldn't have them off the lead because they run away.
And I'm like, it's not a beagle.
He's like, because, you know, they catch a scent and they just go. I'm like, it's not a beagle it's like because you know they catch a scent and they just got i'm like it's not a beagle because i'm youtube comments yeah also i'm
on also i should point out the same time i'm on the phone i'm literally on my fucking phone also
talking to somebody as this guy and then i walk a little bit further and i ran into his wife and
she's like you know these are they're not so good off their leads i'm like it's a fuck it's not a
fucking beagle it's a beagle ear.
You need to print off some literature on the internet
that you can hand out to people.
Specifically that guy.
If I've got my dog off my lead and I'm walking and it's following me,
do you think maybe I've got it?
Do you know what I mean?
Like I'm handling the situation.
For now, James.
Anyway, I should have kicked him into a river, both of them.
This would be your wife.
I just don't understand, like, the, hey, I'm telling you the thing you said is not true
and just completely, like, barreling over the top of me.
What are you doing?
What are you fucking doing?
James, what are you doing?
I don't know.
This is a podcast about pop culture, movie news and reviews.
My dogs are good, Amanda.
I like them. That's a good point. Yeah, news and reviews. My dogs are good, Amanda. I like them.
That's a good point.
Yeah, nice.
Anyway, go on.
One more email.
This is from Aaron.
Aaron?
Hello, Mason.
And not Mason.
That's you, presumably.
I hope so.
I was wondering if for the next showdown,
each matchup should be comprised solely of characters the actors played.
Did we talk about that last week?
We might have done that.
Did we have that exact?
Did we?
Well, I'm saying, I think.
I'm pretty sure we did. What I'm saying, I think. I'm pretty sure we did.
What I'm saying is I think this is a lock for the next week.
Yeah, okay.
We'll do it.
Yeah.
And also just whatever.
It could be that or whatever.
Yeah.
Take care and keep up the good work.
What do we do next time we get a spare week, which maybe is next week?
Maybe.
I don't know.
And then there's the DCU line.
Nah, let's not do next week.
Yeah.
Let's think about it a bit.
Because, you know, we'd probably, we probably say it up top of the first whatever episode.
I don't know.
Something.
Is that the show?
Yes.
Here's one more.
Okay.
This is from Dominic.
Dominic?
Hi, James and Mason.
Hello.
Hope you're doing well after the long break.
Yes, yes.
I've been listening to the show since sophomore year of high school in 2015
after watching James' Five Ways Batman Could Beat Superman video
and the Vice Versa 50 Ways of Video.
Yeah.
As of now, I'm finished my last semester for my master's degree.
I should make that video again.
I'll just re-upload it.
People find that video all the time.
All right then.
Yeah.
After years of trying to recommend you guys to friends
and some family to no avail,
I'm glad to say I was able to convince my 64-year-old mother
to listen to it after she heard James' rants about getting vaccinated.
Fair to say now that she's a frequent listener
and finds you guys hilarious even if she doesn't get all of the content.
Really?
That's awesome.
Thank you so much.
That's super cool.
Super cool, right?
Yeah.
Yes.
Anyway, there you go.
There you go.
That's all the emails.
See, I think, you know, age is like. Just a number you go. There you go. That's all the emails. See, I think age is like-
Just a number?
Yeah.
I know we were before when someone was like,
because that guy was talking about Dracula and how he loved Dracula for 50 years.
And we said, shut up, old man.
That's just a weird freak.
Shut up, old man.
This is just a normal person having a good time.
Said, okay, boomer.
That's what we said.
Is that the show?
I think that's the whole show.
Thank you so much for listening folks
Thank you for sticking around
We had a little break obviously
We're back

Great podcast
Of two people
Interrupting each other
Can't wait for the
Snake Eyes episode
Which will undoubtedly
Just be a compilation
Of James and Maso
Talking about
How they're going to
Be doing a Snake Eyes episode
Love the pod
And would recommend it
To anyone who likes good things
Snake Eyes
I know we joke
It is actually next week.
Yeah.
Like for real 100%.
So if you haven't seen it or if you have seen it, give it a watch.
Give it a re-watch.
We'll talk about it next week.
It's time because I'm sick of this joke and I just want to get it done, Mason.
That's right.
We're going to do it next week.
And this one is from MrsMarvel624 who says,
Nerdy, friendly, fun.
I've been listening to the Weekly Planet since their countdown
to Batman v Superman.
So like 30 years ago and they never failed to make me laugh.
The other day I made a bad X-Men joke and my husband asked
if I got it from my friends, James and Mayso.
I didn't but I was flattered.
If you want to hear about nerdy pop culture, news, obscure shows
from the 80s and 90s and long long-running in jokes, Westworld,
from two great mates that are funny and friendly,
then this show is for you.
Escape from all the cynicism and toxic nerd culture
and listen to the banter of two genuine kind mates,
five out of five big sandwiches.
Thank you so much.
I've got to watch that last season of Westworld.
Lovely reviews.
Do you want to tell what happens?
No.
Do they fight a big computer again?
They fight a big computer and the computer has a cowboy hat
and he goes, actually, I was Westworld the whole time.
Wow.
You guys thought I was a computer and I am also.
I'm also Westworld.
I'm Yul Brynner.
I'm a computer though.
And I was like, this is wild.
Wow.
Yeah, it's just text on a screen too.
That's incredible.
Yeah.
So it's just all the main characters from previous seasons
sort of gathered around an old CRT monitor, green one.
Actually, can you go back on this?
I missed it.
I don't think it scrolls.
I don't think it's.
Is this Yul Brynner?
Yeah.
What?
The actor?
What else, Mason?
Folks, if you want to get into contact with us,
and why wouldn't you?
Yeah.
Yul Brynner was in the first Westworld movie.
Yes, that's right.

Goodbye.
Snake Eyes babies. Yeah, yes. genuinely very excited thanks everybody grab that gym you guys we'll see you next week goodbye snake has babies yeah yes i guess it is because you could just reject a veto which is the which is like the point of a veto i didn't reject the veto you rejected it you kept doing the joke
and that's not part of the veto if i veto you have to say. Okay, I didn't know that. And then that's it.
All right, no for next time.
You will.
But I feel like I should still be able to say a thing about it.
What, about the, like, oh, this is the thing I was going to say?
No.
It's too vague.
I need specifics.
We need something in writing.
Okay, next week we'll do Snake Eyes and we'll just do veto rules. Maybe we'll do veto rules first. No news, just veto rules. We'll do veto rules first and then we can get to Snake Eyes. Okay, great. That's true. Okay. Okay, bye everyone. Bye.

secret, the other a mission to reveal it before thousands of lives are lost. FX's The Veil,
starring Elizabeth Moss, is now streaming on Disney+.
