Look, we're figuring out the theme song in a moment, all right? Oh, that's how we're starting. Yeah, yeah, don't worry about it. It's fine. Okay. It's fine. Technically, the second episode, we already did an episode. It was the wrap-up of the last year.

So, maybe if there's some new listeners for 2024, it's their New Year's resolution to listen to a new podcast, a great podcast with two friends who might be brothers, who do a podcast about pop culture and movies and whatever, and they're like, I hope there's not an impenetrable reference or in-joke right at the start. And suddenly an insane man is shouting, like, we haven't changed the theme song.

We haven't changed it. They're like, I haven't even heard a theme song. Maybe there's no theme song then. Fine, there's no theme song this week. And maybe we'll just keep it that way. I don't know. All right? People are going to hit play and it'll be like,

is this the funeral episode? What's going on? Or the apology episode. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry we got cancelled over the Christmas break. For being too real. And for saying Christmas. That's why we got cancelled over the Christmas break. For being too real. And for saying Christmas. That's why we got cancelled.

Anyways, welcome back to another episode of the Weekly Planet where we talk movies and comics and TV shows. My name is James, also known as Mr. Sunday. With me is always my co-host, Nick Mason. It's good to be back. It is Mason. This is a big episode for us for a number of reasons. We got cancelled, but we're back.

Yep, back. Second episode of the year, technically, because the wrap-up one was early January. But, Mason. More impenetrable logistics. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't worry about that. We're going to be talking about the biggest Maybe you lost a bet and the conditions of you losing the bet where you have to listen to our podcast. Maybe you did. Maybe that happens a lot.

Is that how we grow? Yep. That makes sense. So we're going to talk the most anticipated movies of the year and some TV shows and some other bits and pieces. But we've got so much news to catch up over from the month we've been away, Mason. So much news and so much what we're reading, I bet. No doubt.

Here's something that we're going to talk about. There's time codes below. Collings who edits this does all this, puts it all together. He did that amazing best of episode that came out a few weeks back. Which I'm pretty sure he's like manufacturing bits. Yeah. Out of with AI because otherwise, because every year I'm like, well, I guess there's not going to be a best of this year

because I don't remember saying nothing funny. And you didn't. I didn't. But he still did it. He did it. Congratulations. So we're going to talk about the next Fast and Furious movie and also the next Jurassic World trilogy.

And they're the same movie. They could be. The Max is coming to cinemas. Star Wars News Mason. We're going to talk about Top Gun 3 and a Tom Cruise development deal that happened. Maybe they're the same movie. Maybe they are. Maybe this is all the same movie.

It's not the same movie. But this is 2024 just mushing everything in. I mean, that will happen. It's not about shared universes. It's just every movie, every studio is colluding, and every movie is going to have a teaser for the next movie, even if it's a different company. Oh, my God, Mason. Right, Dom and whatever, they're like, oh, family, we did it.

Dom and whatever. We defeated that evil genie in the form of Jason Momoa. Oh, no, we summoned dinosaurs, you know? Yeah, great. We're going to hot wheels off that brachiosaur or whatever. Yep, and this is also Dino Riders. Oh, yes. All right. All right Dino Riders. Oh, yes. All right.

All right. Not all right. Yes, please. Why haven't they weaponized the dinosaurs in that? I mean, they did in the last Jurassic World. There'll be more weaponizing of dinosaurs, no doubt, what we're talking about. And then we're going to do hot quick news where we're just going

to go through a bunch of things we have to talk about but maybe don't have the time necessarily. It'll be a big episode, I feel like. That's right. Mason. Mason. Hello. This is by Jeff Snyder who said, the next Fast and Furious movie, Fast and Furious X1

or whatever it's going to be called. Fast and Furious X Part 2. I don't know if they're doing Part 2s. Not doing those anymore. So I read recently that one of the reasons, one of the many reasons that probably Mission Impossible, Dead Reckoning Part 1 did poorly, all the other reasons we've mentioned in previous episodes because it got killed by oppenheimer and barbie killed by oppenheimer and barbie bad release time yep bad marketing

strikes or budget all the things yeah but also because people don't like part ones no because they're like oh but i'm gonna have to watch this and then i don't we don't yeah we're gonna get a resolution and then when's the next one in a year, two years? Exactly. Avengers Infinity War wasn't called Avengers number three, get ready for Avengers number four. That's right. Number three, everybody dies at the end. Half the people actually die at the end. They turn to dust.

Maybe they're dead. They're not dead. Obviously they're not dead. We're going to kill Spider-Man and we're going to do a Spider-Man movie where he's dead? No. Idiots. You stupid idiots.

Are you saying that Sony would never do a Spider-Man movie without Spider-Man? I am saying that. And 2024 will be the year I'm proven correct. What are we talking about? I forgot. So basically, the Fast and Furious. Well, no, that's true. Because, like, who wants to see part one of anything?

You know? It totally makes sense. Yeah. Because a lot of people were tricked into Infinity War thinking that it was Big Finish. Big Finish, yeah. it was Big Finish. But not Big Finish. People were genuinely surprised in the cinema. They're like, what?

And in fact, doesn't Captain America go, we lost? And it goes to the end. Last movie. Surprise. Big surprise for you idiots. You idiots. You stupid idiots. Ten years of this and they lost.

That's how this ends. You're an idiot. You're an idiot. That's great stuff yeah but apparently according to jeff snyder the next fast and furious fast and furious x1 or whatever he's going to be back to basics lean and mean and by that they mean they're going to go back to what the original movies are kind of about stealing and whatever or i i assume he means like the bank vault heist. Yeah, okay. Like that's what he's talking about, right?

Yeah, probably, yeah. Yeah. Because Fast X cost $340 million. It sure did, yeah. I don't know if you know that. Yeah. So the aim- That's a drop that big ball in Italy.

Oh, yeah, that's a big Italy ball. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They aim for this one to cost less, less, less, we forget Mason. It's going to cost less than $200 million. Wow. An absolute steal. Wow. To bring back Paul Walker's carcass, which is what they've got to do.

Oh, no. Carcass, Mason. Wow. There's a joke for you about a man who died. That's a good joke. First of the year. First joke of the year. There we go.

Put that in the best of. Start off the best of for 2024. What do you think? Of that joke? Really good. What do you think? Of that joke? Really good. What do you think of this concept? I think they have to. I mean.

You can't make another one of these, can you? Because, I mean, they went to space. Yeah. Not really. No. Stratosphere, maybe. No, but I mean they didn't really go to space. Oh, sure, yeah.

They didn't shoot Ludacris into space. But Tom Cruise is doing a movie in space. Remember? He's doing a space movie. He's in space. They're filming in space. Yeah. I think they

need to strip these movies back eventually. Because there's no, again, there are heights that you hit, literally, and then space, and then there's no further you know, so people it is like the Marvel stuff. I think they should have gone more back to basics after

Endgame. Yes. So people have a chance to reset and go, oh, here's a small-scale thing. I guess the question then becomes how are they going to do this in XI considering at the last one... The dam exploded and his car exploded and his son and him are at the bottom of the dam and all the water's going to crush them from the dam that's exploded?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I guess they'll just have a drain. Yeah. A drain there. Just in front of them. They'll just cut back to the house and go, thank God my car was repaired and we got away. I know we're have a drain. Yeah. A drain there. Just in front of them. They'll just cut back to the house and go, thank God my car was repaired and we got away. I know we're having a barbecue.

Yeah. And we're going to steal some DVDs. Jess and Mamal, welcome. You're in the family. Thanks, man. I'm glad all my stunts, my secretly non-lethal stunts, got your attention. I just wanted to be friends.

Let's steal some stuff. Jack Reacher, welcome. You're also welcome. Thank you. It's good to be back. I'm Jack Reacher. I pretended to be evil, but actually we're friends. Let's steal some stuff. Jack Reacher, welcome. You're also welcome. Oh, thank you. It's good to be back. I'm Jack Reacher. I pretended to be evil, but actually we're friends. We're three big friends. Three big friends. John said he was still alive. Four big friends.

Faster viewers, X1, four big friends. Four big friends. We're big and we're friends. And that's good to say, I think. Because you thought big men couldn't be friends, but we're friends. You can be friends. Yeah. That's the lesson of this.

So there you go. It's supposed to be the last one. Or at one point it was going to be one of three. Oh, that's not happening. I don't know. I don't know. I mean, if this next one does well, they're reassessing movie to movie, obviously. Yeah, they absolutely are, yeah.

So, yeah, there you go. This one's by Theo Charmason. There's a new Jurassic Park slash world movie in the works with writer David Koepp. It's K-O-E-P-P. Koepp? Koepp. Koepp. Koepp.

Anyway, he wrote the original Jurassic Park screenplay along with The Lost World. Wow. And now they're going to be launching a new Jurassic era, says sources, with an all-new storyline, which is good because you don't just want to do the storylines we've already seen. Okay. Are we talking reboot here?

No. So it seems that this kind of new set of movies will rule out returning characters including Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard and it won't rule them out. They're not coming back. The big drawers. Yeah, no, not coming back. The big drawers. Yeah, no, no, no. The big drawers.

No, the big drawers are the dinosaurs, Mason. They're wearing big drawers? They're wearing big drawers. And that also means like no Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum also. So movies that will fail. No, because the Jurassic World was huge. Jurassic World Dominion was bad, and it made a billion dollars. Which one was that?

The last one, where they went to Jurassic World again. Bug World. Bug World. Yeah, Bug World. Okay, all right. What was the middle one? Has there been three Jurassic Worlds? Yeah, there's one with a spooky house.

Oh, yeah, spooky house. Spooky house where you laser guide a dinosaur. Spooky house, rent a dinosaur. Yeah, I remember. Yeah. Yeah. So I think these, though, are big because at the moment, and we're seeing this, monsters in movies are big,

monsters and creatures. I mean, the Monsterverse is doing really well. Obviously, Apple TV just wrapped up their show, which is very well received. I enjoyed it a lot. Godzilla minus one. Godzilla minus one. Godzilla X-Kong has got a gauntlet now in the next one,

and pink Godzilla. All of the Planet of the Apes movies are back, and people love those. This looks like, if there was a sure thing at the moment, and there never is, it's stuff like this. Creature features. Creature features, exactly. What do you want to see in another Jurassic Park slash world movie?

Do you want to call it Jurassic Park slash world? I think if they're going back. Slash world. Slash world. I think if they're going back to the screenwriter, I think they're going to aim for something that's more akin to those, the first one in particular. Do you want there to be a third island?

Whatever. Great. Whatever. Great. Whatever, Mason. Okay, terrific. No, you know what I want? Yes. I want the world overrun by dinosaurs. Yeah.

The thing that they said they were going to do, which they didn't. In Jurassic World Dominion, which they didn't. Yeah. That's what I want. Yeah. You know, like Dawn of the Planet of the Apes or whatever, except it's dinosaurs. And the dinosaurs aren't talking to each other.

I don't want that. Okay. I don't want them to do sign language. I just want dinosaur world. You know, what happened? Because remember at the end of the last one, they're like, the dinosaurs are in the real world. Isn't that weird?

Yeah, and that's probably bad. Because I think what they probably wanted, because the teasers for the last Jurassic World movie were that, and the suggestion of rent a dinosaur, dinosaurs in a house, was that they were going to spread across the world and and they were going to overrun the world but then i think they probably crunched the numbers and went there aren't enough dinosaurs yep that escaped to do that in a small span of time so we're going to have to do bugs yeah i think they what they want to do is they want to have terrifying dinosaur world but they want it self-contained in a little

box like a jurassic world like a jurassic world and but the rest of the world is fine so we can relate to that yeah but i don't want that no i want an evolution of the universe like mad max it yes exactly that's right yeah i think that would be fun yeah because and i i because i think they want to be i think they want at the end of every movie to just reset it and go well we solved the problem and everything's fine everybody come and look at jurassic and if we want to do a jur Park again, we can do it. But I think you're right. I think there needs to be that. You can break continuity with the real world at this point. I think that's probably fine, you know? It's fine.

The real world sucks. Let's see an even worse world. I think it's cool. Really? Yeah. Have you ever seen a sunrise? I try not to. Have you seen a sunset?

I try not to. Have you ever seen the sun? Have you ever stared at the sun? It's beautiful. My own sun? No. No. Okay, great. What's the question? I can't remember. I'm not on caffeine at the moment, Mason. No, I was waiting for you to mention that. You've cut caffeine out for health reasons and so on and so forth. Yeah, yeah. Nothing serious. What I like to do,

I like to find something that I really like. Your heart's leaking. Yeah, and then overdo it and then take that thing away and I have one less piece of joy in my life. That's how I live. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah, and you can see it in your eyes. Anyway, Mason. If you see James on the street, I always say generally, if you see me on the street, come up and say hi.

I love talking to the listeners. Come up and say hi, I love you is what Mason wants you to say. If you see James on the street, walk up to a vending machine, don't break eye contact with him. Because I'm coming at you. Purchase a full sugar Coca-Cola and just open it in front of him. Keep maybe 100 metres distance. You're going to need that space.

Yeah, keep an eye on him and just sip it slowly until it's empty and then crumple it up and throw it in a bin. All the ground. Yeah, all the ground because it's a beautiful world. Yeah. Now, Mason, I've got some names here, potential movies, because if you can't call it Jurassic Park or Jurassic World, this is where you've got to go. Some of these may be chat AI related.

I don't know. So you haven't made these up? Some of them I made up. I don't believe you. No, I have. Okay. Here we go. Jurassic Universe.

Is this a comedy bit you're doing? Sort of. But also I think some of these would be what they pick. Jurassic Universe. Jurassic Fury. Jurassic Dawn. Jurassic Legacy. Jurassic Reckoning.

Jurassic Reloaded, Jurassic Revolutions, Jurassic Resurrections, Jurassic Nemesis, Jurassic Genesis, Jurassic Uprising, Jurassic Dennis Nedry can of shaving cream. I love that. That's a good one, actually. Returns. That's good. So I think if they went Jurassic Uprising, Jurassic Dawn,

something like that, I think it would be something like that. What if they change it to whatever the next era is in the dinosaur whatever the thing cretaceous something jurassic cretaceous it might be I don't know what era the dinosaur stuff happens in

we're not the detail guys change it to a different era but cretaceous you know what there probably is a cretaceous park I bet those asylum types made a fake one but cretaceous you know what there probably is a cretaceous park i bet those asylum types oh sure made a fake one called cretaceous park but you can't use it because people won't know you have to put jurassic in it yeah yeah um also dinosaur movies forever i don't care if they're bad let's just keep going okay let's keep going now you say that now but a mere few weeks ago when we talked about the best and worst of the year 65 what did you say about

that it's not a very good movie. There we go. Dinosaur movies forever. Doesn't matter. Okay, great. I don't care. I mean, it's not our money. I didn't like the last one of these and I still want to see more of these. It's not about me. Well, no, it is actually, and I want more of this. It seems a lot about you, actually. This seems very... I haven't seen The Sun, Mason.

Next up, we've got news regarding The Max. Okay, so this is Sam Keith's original image comic. Many years ago about a big purple man who might live in a dream. Which also was an animated series for a number of years. It was, yeah. Which I didn't know about at all until I was researching this. Did you know that?

I think I saw it at a comic book convention. Because that didn't air here or like during the day. It absolutely would not have. It might have aired on cable at some point, maybe. I don't know. So for those people who don't know, the original series follows the adventures of the Max, who appears in both the real world and an alternate reality, The Outback. Yeah. Like Australia? Sort of.

Okay. In the real world, he's a homeless man living in a box, but in The Outback, he's Paul Hogan. No, he's a powerful masked being who is the protector of the Jungle Queen. He's a big purple guy. He's got a big jutting out jaw. Yeah, if you want to track down a weird The Max story, I believe there's a Max Batman crossover. Okay. And I remember that being very, very trippy.

Okay, good. They still making these? Oh, every once in a while. Yeah, they still making comic books? No. Yeah. No money in it. So, yeah, created by Sam Keith, and it's getting the screen treatment from Channing Tatum and Roy Lee,

producer Roy Lee. It seems at the moment there's no word on whether it's going to be a series or a movie. Is this going to be the next hot thing, Mason? It might be the next hot thing. Image comics from the 90s. Oh, the Max Batman was 2021. There you go.

There you go. That was a thing that happened. Oh, great art. And it's got big, long ears Batman in it. Oh, my God. I love big ears Batman. Check this. I'm a big ears Batman.

Those are some of the longest ears you'll ever see. They're right on the page. Those are dream ears. You can't even keep them on the page. Yeah. Anyway, yeah, love Sam Keith and the Mac. So that's exciting. Will it be good?

Don't know. Who cares? You don't care? No, I care. But, like, it doesn't matter ultimately. Sure. No, I think Channing Tatum, give him a comic book movie. Just give him at least one.

Yeah. Yeah. I wonder what Channing Tatum, how old's Channing Tatum? He's probably our age. 32 maybe. Okay, right. Yeah. So he would maybe be, he'd be in that era.

This might have been a formative comic book for him. It seems like it was. Yeah. I think the thing that he said was like, I loved this. I loved it as a kid. Now I'm a man. Now I can do what I want. That's right. I've got apps for kid. Now I'm a man. Now I can do what I want. That's right.

I got abs for Magic Mike 3. Nobody saw it. Wah. I assume he would think. I would think that. What are you getting abs for? If no one's seeing your abs. Great point.

Pointless. Waste of time. You should have been Stripper with a long-sleeve shirt on. Oh, my God. Yeah? Star Wars news, Mason. Ah, all right. I was trying to be refreshed and positive at the start of the year. And you but then yeah you are mason okay here's the star wars news what's the star

wars news is it a big star wars movie time sometimes i don't believe you bearing in mind some of this won't happen which the movies the movies part we'll see apparently the ray movie at the moment it's happening but it wasn't happening and now it looks like it's probably going to happen at this point okay sure i don't know that was the vaguest sentence anyone's ever said well that's what happened while we're away it was like it's happening it wasn't happening, and now it looks like it's probably going to happen at this point. Okay, sure. I don't know. That was the vaguest sentence anyone's ever said. Well, that's what happened while we were away. It was like, it's happening, it's not happening, it is happening. Adam Driver's like, we talked about this before the break. He said, I'm not Ray.

Yeah. I cannot stress this enough. Stop asking me about this. I was the other one. I was the other one. His name I can't recall. I was in it. Yeah.

Han Solo. He was in it too. So, yeah, apparently John Boyega's might return and whatever sure gonna be throwing a lot of money around oh there was that big controversy because the woman who's directing it

there was a quote that was taken out of context which was something like I like to make men uncomfortable or something in my movies but it was about like a documentary she made like six years ago

it wasn't like I like to make men mad in my Star Wars movies I'm gonna make men mad by ruining Star Wars because only men like Star Wars and I'm going to ruin it for them. And I want people to harass me for the rest of my life. They're still hiring me for some reason.

I said I was going to ruin Star Wars for men and they're like, let's make this happen. Yeah. Kathleen Kennedy gave me a big high five. And a lot of money. Yeah. Anyway, I'm not saying this could be good. I mean, it could be good.

I mean, it's going to be bad because it's making me mad. I mean, it could be fucking dreadful, but, like, that story was, like, nothing. It was just an excuse to make a thumbnail and be like, what, this bitch, or whatever. You know, the thumbnails that people do. Yeah, sure, sure, sure. For all accounts, she seems like a nice woman, and let's see.

Let's see what happens. Let's have Star Wars movies or cancel them. I don't know. Next up, we've got confirmation of The Mandalorian Season 4, Ahsoka Season 2, which is Rebel Season 6, I don't know. Next up, we've got confirmation of The Mandalorian Season 4, Ahsoka Season 2, which is Rebel Season 6. Okay. And The Mandalorian and Baby Yoda are having a movie. I think it's called.

We're having a movie. I think it's called The Mandalorian and Grogu, isn't it, or something like that? I've got a question for you, James. I'm ready. The other day I texted you about something. No, I don't think so. And you sent me back a text and it was a picture of you cradling, like in the stance of you cradling a baby.

But instead of a baby, it was just the word great. Where is that from? A friend of mine made it for me. It's a picture of me holding my son. I've explained it very adequately. I know, but the original picture was me holding my son. And we were having a back and forth about something, and he sent that back.

His response was great, and he sent it back with me holding him. So there's not an assortment of those. I mean, there is, but they're private, except for that one, which has gone to you. And it's gone viral now. No, it hasn't. It's private, Mason. Can I just have a private moment?

No, everything's content. Anyway, the Mandalorian movie, what do you think? Are people coming to cinemas for the Mandalorian movie, is this like a homework movie where you're like i didn't watch that's a great question i guess it is i think they're gonna have to prep audiences and say you don't the seasons no absolutely not no i think it might just be you do not need to know anything or maybe all you need is season one of The Mandalorian or something, the one that everybody watched and had nice things to say about. Mandalorian, don't worry about it. Yeah, don't worry about it.

Forget about it. Yeah. Yeah. That would be nice. I mean, you know, I think it's probably a fine line, but I think they're going to have to pitch it like A New Hope. Yeah. Like their stuff came before and stuff is going to happen afterwards

but it doesn't matter you're jumping in on this epic adventure even though to be clear a lot of things have happened so many things it's been 50 years of content nearly from star wars you can i don't know also john favreau is directing this oh okay well i like like that john favreau yeah he's done things he's done things i think you're, or maybe just the trailer gets you up to speed really quickly with a quick montage or something. I don't know. And also it can't be just an episode. Oh yeah.

You know, it's like, well, they're on the volume and they visit a sand planet, which I'm sure they're not going to do. But it also can't be like, well, the entire universe is going to explode unless. Well, that's going, cause it's going into Thrawn as well. Remember cause then Dave Filoni is doing his Thrawn movie? Yeah, sure, sure, sure. After Mandalorian Season 4 slash Ahsoka Season 2 slash Rebels Season 6.

Oh, this is getting worse and worse the more you say. I think it's all right. Okay, great. I don't think you need to worry about it like that, I think. Yeah. I don't know. You look stressed. No, I'm...

You're stressed with all this content. I'm stress-free and moisturised and in my lane and whatever all of that name that people say. I'm so moisturised. I mean, I think people might be enthused because it's not a Jedi Star Wars movie. It's a different aspect of that universe. I think that could be fun.

Yeah, but I think the whole Disney Plus thing is we've seen this with Marvel. We've seen this with Marvel and the marble has made people go crazy. And just like what of this do I need to see and do I even care? Yeah. And when will it arrive on Disney Plus if I don't see it at cinemas? Soon. Yeah, very soon.

Don't worry about it. 45-day window. Yeah. Don't even bother. Don't even bother. Some things go straight to Amazon or whatever. We'll talk about it in a bit. Reacher. Yeah. Have you been watching Reacher? Yeah, I've watched the whole Reacher season. Isn't it bad? Some things go straight to Amazon or whatever. We'll talk about it in a bit.

Yeah. Have you been watching Reacher's season? Yeah, I've watched the whole Reacher's season. Isn't it bad? It's good. People say it's worse than season one. It's the same. Isn't he got a team now? People are like, we hate that he's got a team.

Probably. I think I heard the next season he's not going to have a team. He's going to kill it. You haven't heard anything. That's what they're saying. You don't know. What do you mean I haven't heard anything? You don't know what I've heard.

You're not a Reacher. I'll be on break. You're not a Reacher-nado like me. I'm not. You don't know. You don't know what I've heard. You're not a reach. I'll be on break. You're not a reachinado like me. I'm not. I'm absolutely not. I think he's fucking insufferable as a character. Yep. I'm bulletproof and I only eat hamburgers and I can do push-ups,

but you never see me do any kind of exercise. You know what it is? Yes. It's the exact like Mary Sue thing. Yeah, right. Except people don't give a shit. So why is this guy get a pass for like, and look, he should get a pass because he's a fictional character.

But where's the uproar, Mason? That's a great question. And I like the dude as well, Alan Richman. I like him. I've watched multiple interviews with him about the series. You've watched interviews with him? Yeah, me and him sit together. Yeah, yeah, yeah, good joke.

Welcome back. First one of those of the year. But I don't care about, I'm not a fan really. I don't know, there's something about him. I think it's. Yeah, he's great. I like him a lot. I like how he's enormous.

I enjoy that about him. Yeah. At one point he kicks a guy's car and the airbag goes off. In the car. The guy in the car's like, you kicked my car. Does he ever fight a big guy? No, he fights some guys who are roughly his size. So that's an enormous guy.

Love that for him. Making waves. Last bit of news is via Daniel Richtman, who does a lot of scooping. Pretty good record, let me just say. All right, okay. No one's 100%, maybe us. We're 100%. Yeah.

Because sometimes we'll say something like it's a fact and it turns out not to be true later, but you have to know that at the time when we're reciting the scoop, we're going like, ugh. It's a joke. We're going, ugh. We're doing it ironically. Ugh, yeah.

Ugh, okay. Yeah, we don't even care. We don't even care, so it doesn't matter. 100% strike rate. Doesn't count. Doesn't count. He says there's going to be a What If Star Wars animated series akin to what Marvel are doing.

They've done this. We've talked about them in Caravan of Garbage. We've got episodes on them. They were called Star Wars Infinities, and they take each of the original Star Wars movies and they take a turn. One of them takes a turn so much that Yoda crashes the Death Star into the Coruscant and kills like a billion people yeah that's right i'm joking i'm not joking

that's a real thing that happened drunk i was so diminished capacity i had he's in court he was supposed to go around he was supposed to go around he was trying to reverse market yeah yeah yeah And he hit Coruscant. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so that's fun. Felt I drove better after a few drinks, I felt. Anything in particular you want to see? Do a big flip. What if Kylo Ren was whatever? Oh, yeah.

Han Solo, but he was this. Different colored lightsabers? Yeah, man. What if Kylo Ren had two lightsabers, but they were blue? And they had the sparky bits on the sides? But other than that, it's exactly the same. Yep. Yep.

Great. I'd love to see that. What if the Sith were good and the Jedi were bad? What about that? It'd be the same. Different colored lightsabers. Different colored lightsabers, you're right. Obi-Wan's got a red lightsaber.

What do you think about that? I love it. I love that for him. It? So, yeah, there you go. That might happen or it might not. I don't know. All of that. File all of that under it might happen or it might not. I don't know. All of that.

File all of that under it might happen or it might not. Yeah. But we should do a cut. Okay. And it will happen. And it definitely

won't happen. And one of those will go on the best of. One of those will go on the best of, exactly. And then we'll be right. That's right, yeah. It's by Puck.

It says Top Gun 3 is in development. Oh. THR also reporting. Top Gun 3 Goose. Goose is alive? Yep. A son of Goose or original Goose?

Both. Tom Cruise's. There's two seats in that F-14, baby. Tom Cruise's character is killing everybody in that universe from the 80s. Have you noticed that? He's the only one left. I saw an interview recently about Kilmer, just a clip of it. Yeah.

And apparently Kilmer is a bit salty because back in the original days, the original Top Gun, if you look at that volleyball scene, there's no like one close-up shots of Val Kilmer looking real ripped. And he's saying like the director came up to him at the time and went, all your close-up shots were cooked. Like they were overexposed or underexposed. So we couldn't use any of them. So there's a bunch of shots of Tom Cruise looking ripped.

And there's some like group shots, but there's no Kilmer. And Kilmer's like, I think he got in the director's ear and got him to like delete those shots. Look, it wouldn't surprise me. God damn. I always just assumed he looked really good in that movie though. So in my heart, it doesn't matter to me. Well, there must be some group shots where he's looking ripped surely there's a group surely there's a group shot

did you enjoy that scene or did you enjoy everybody plays football at each other in the new version yeah like random football or whatever they play where they play football and they see random balls of fire at each other oh yeah yeah i like that yes it was good they had to reshoot that twice not twice just once reshot it one time. Apparently, again, similar story, actually. It didn't. Oh, it's just bad lighting at the beach. Interesting.

Whoa, interesting. But Tom Cruise didn't like it, I assume. Is Tom Cruise shirtless in Maverick? Yes, for that bit. Okay, yeah. But he's very specific with his shirtless stuff. Yeah, of course. Which you've got to be.

Yeah. Which you've got to be when you're 70,000 years old. So Puck says that blah, blah, it's in development. Joseph Kaczynski will return to direct and Cruise. Because he's not directing Tren. No. We'll talk about Tren later, I imagine. We'll talk about Tren.

And Cruise reunite with co-stars Glenn Powell and Miles Teller, which makes sense. Yeah, okay, sure. Or Top Gun, I guess. Now, here's the thing. Would you say that Top Gun Maverick was lightning in a bottle? Do you think they can just do that again? I think it will do well.

I don't know if it will do as well as this one did. Because I feel like... It just came out at the perfect time. Yeah, and a lot of people, I think, are down on the Top Gun script. They're like, no, it's pretty simple, blah, blah, blah. But I think there's an art to a very... There's more to it than that. There's an art to a simple script that works on every level,

which this mostly did, despite the fact that, you know, it's got those weird plot devices where they're fighting the enemy and then they go into the valley and they go to the country. And they have to do Star Wars. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've got to defeat this tin pot nation that has better fighter planes than us for some reason.

Yeah. Pretty cool. Who are they? Canada. It seemed like Canada to me. It would be. Trudeau, you know what he's like. That's right.

Or what he isn't like. You know what he says, but what does he really say? That's exactly right. Yeah, just to be clear, I don't he says, but what does he really say? That's exactly right. Yeah, just to be clear, I don't like him, but not for the reasons that other people don't like him. Okay. You've got your own special secret reasons. No, I mean for normal reasons.

Not just like he's a secret pedophile communist. Okay. So to be clear, that's what you think or what you don't think? Look, it doesn't matter. I think he's a bad prime minister for reasons outside of the lunatic shit. Oh, and so you think some F-14 Tomcats should go and blow up his valley facility? Fuck it. Why not?

Wow. Mason, this is also via Variety. Tom Cruise, he's moving to Warner Brothers. Huh. Is he going to live in the water tower with the Animaniacs? That's right. That's great. This is what they say in the article. with the Animaniacs? That's right. It's great. This is what they say in the article.

The ageless action star signed a new deal to develop and produce theatrical films with Warner Brothers Discovery. These movies will be a mix of original productions and franchise fair word and will star Cruise. The company is said to release touting the deal. I've just cut it off in a weird way. mix of original productions and franchise fair word and will star cruise the company uh is uh said to release uh touting the deal i've just cut it off in a weird way okay this is this is new information to me i've not heard this is very recent yeah i would love to see the contracts on this yeah me too you know how tall can he be how sure is he gonna has he got he's gonna do a

new series of movies called big reacher. Bigger Reacher. He's even bigger than Alan Richman Reacher. Yeah. It's a multiverse Reacher movie. So there's original Reacher, him, Alan Richman Reacher, and then an even bigger version of Tom Cruise. I think so, yes. A third Reacher.

Yeah, that's right. I love that, yeah. Yeah, and they're going to team up in the third one and both Tom Cruises are going to be bigger than Alan Richman. Yeah. Also, we should point out, and we've mentioned this before, but the Jack Reacher movies are the reason why Caravan of Garbage is called Caravan of Garbage. Because originally it was called Never Go Back.

That's right. And then they released that Jack Reacher movie and we assumed that it would do very well. Yeah. And so changed the name. We should have held our ground. I don't know. It's fine. And also it gets more engagement of people being like, oh, a good movie well it's not guess what idiot it's not

what are we talking about oh yeah so tom cruise is he's going to a studio that famously for the last couple of years has been canceling projects left and right and just interfering yeah destroying stuff for tax reasons. So I imagine this contract, it would – Because they're trying to get Nolan back as well. Yeah, this would suggest to me that they're flailing, not surprising, and they're willing to enter any kind of deal because there's no way he's going into this and saying –

This would be a billion-dollar deal. Yeah, yeah. There's no way he's going into this being like, yeah, I'm going to make something for you in the medium cinema, which I love, and if you cancel, that's fine. There's no way. Yeah. It would be like you have to give me a billion dollars

if you cancel this movie that I'm making for you. Yeah, and I'm going to steal your youth. Oh, Tom Cruise's lawyers would be having a good time. And they're Scientologist lawyers. Yeah. So you know will be having a good time. And they're Scientologist lawyers. Yeah. So you know they're having a good time. Their billable hours are going through the roof. Okay, I'm excited to see what this is because he's going

to have full creative control. Like they're going to be making all sorts of concessions. Again, it's a mix of original productions and franchise. So like I know a lot of people go to this and be like, will he be a Green Lantern or whatever, you know? Oh, sure, right. I don't think that's a priority for him, but he could be like, give me $100 million

and I'll be in two movies or whatever. Yeah, that's true, yeah. I'll show up and shake Superman's hand or whatever. Or has the playing field leveled because Mission Impossible, Dead Reckoning 1 did not do so well? Maybe he's somewhere in the middle. Maybe he is. You know? I don't know. I still think he's, again, as far as, like, sure things, he's

one of the surest things. But even not the surest thing, because there is no sure things except for Jurassic World movies. That's right. But I, well, he's still, so Top Gun 3's over somewhere else. Paramount has the next Mission Impossible, which is already filmed. Mission Apostrophe, you can say it.

Mason, I haven't had any caffeine, all right? But I like Mission Apostrophe. I don't know what it means. You and your troubles. You always cause me trouble. It's a secret team that goes around and they add apostrophes in inappropriate locations. Oh, inappropriate.

Or they fix them. Yeah. You know? Sometimes they go rogue and it's one or the other of those two things. Yeah. So, yeah, he's got to get those done and then this will take off. Okay. Anyways, Mason, it's time for Hot Quick News.

I went to the Planet Broadcasting Great Mates group and I threw it out there and said, what do people want us to talk about? And here's some of the things that they want us to talk about outside of memes of things that we have said in the past. Let's make these hot and quick. Doug Liman is taking a stand against the release of his Roadhouse movie, which has now been pushed directly to streaming.

That's got Jake Gyllenhaal in it. It does. He said it's Jake Gyllenhaal's best performance ever. Whoa. Yeah, but, you know. But he was Mysterio. He was Mysterio. And Nightcrawler, not the X-Men, the other one.

That's true. Creep Nightcrawler. I guess they're both creeps. He was Donald Darko. He was Donald Darko. So apparently Doug Liman made it under, was it MGM? Okay. For the idea that it was going to be a cinematic release.

Oh, and then MGM got purchased by Amazon. Amazon purchased it. So he's not going to the premiere or whatever. Yeah, right. He's protesting, which is fair enough. Now, he directed Swingers. Yep. Go.

Do you remember Go? I remember Go. It was sort of a. It was Pulp Fiction, but. Yeah, with young people. The Bourne Identity. Yep. Mr. and Mrs. Smith. He did the first Bourne movie, which is incredible that he did that. fiction but yeah with young with young and with young people yeah uh the born identity yep mr and mrs smith they did the first born movie which is incredible that he did that and nobody

nobody remembers nobody remembers they think it's green grass yeah paul green grass well the grass is always green grass isn't that is very true uh mr and mrs smith and i just got a push notification on my phone that says mr and mrs smith season 1 coming soon. Great. You got that just then. Literally just then. He also did Live, Die, Repeat, Age of Tomorrow. Yeah, Age of Tomorrow, Jumper, and American Made, which is a Thomas Cruise movie. American Made's good.

Good track record. Good track record, and guess what? There is no personal life or controversy page on his Wikipedia, so... Yet. Yet. So this is great. I'm controversy page on his Wikipedia. So. Yet. Yet.

So this is great. I'm loving this guy. Yeah. Directed swingers. Yeah. There you go. I thought it was Favreau. John Favreau did that. I always assumed it was Favreau.

But did he write it? It doesn't matter. I don't know. Okay. Maybe he wrote and directed Made. Maybe he wrote Made. Yeah. Yeah.

Anyway. Written by John Favreau. There you go. Wow, we're so in sync. Yeah. Mason. Yeah, but anyway, Roadhouse. Yeah. Mason. But anyway, Roadhouse. This is hot quick news, man.

Oh, sorry. It has got to be quick. Chuck, get out of here. Get on out of here, Doug Liman. There was a trailer for Avatar The Last Airbender. Oh, yep. Yes, that Caravan of Garbage is coming out for that. Great.

It's happening. God, what did we even say in that? I'm going to have to go back. I think we're going to have to do new intros and whatever because it'll be confusing for people. There'll never be a TV series, we'll say in that? I'm going to have to go back. I think we're going to have to do new intros and whatever because it'll be confusing for people. There'll never be a TV series, we'll say. Avatar, et cetera. Get out of here.

I was going to say. Looks good. Looks good. Well, it does look good. A lot of people are like, hey, this looks quite similar to the M. Night Shyamalan movie, like visually speaking. No. I don't know.

I can't tell. You need to reassess. No. Well, I did watch this trailer on my phone. No, I'm not saying you. I'm saying people who are saying that need to see that movie again because these do not look similar. Yeah.

That's a mean thing to say, actually. Wow. In new Indiana Jones game. Indiana Jones in a big circle or whatever. Anyway, that was so hot. Yeah. Hot sauce. Looks good.

This is Machine Games, right? Yes. So they did Wolfenstein. It's only coming to Xbox at the moment and PCs. Okay. It's first person, which some people are iffy on, but that's what machine games make. And if that's what they make,

then wouldn't you rather them make the things they can do? So, yeah. So, I mean, a lot of people like, well, we want a third person. There are third person elements to it. Yeah, right, because it sometimes will cut to a third person bit. But I think people wanted a third. I mean, that's the… The game Quantum of Solace was like that yeah i mean but also you know i'm this is what they do well

yeah i've played a couple of the wolfenstein newish games they're good it's a great universe yep uh they the the the first person stuff feels like visceral and like solid and i want to i would love to see that in live action what they should should do is they should- In live action? This guy doesn't know what a video game is. I don't know. That's true. I don't know. These video games are real.

Is this a video game? I don't know. I also don't know. Well, I'm doing a big combo. I know. On the Dance Dance Revolution machine. Exactly, that we all have installed. What they should do is if you really want an iconic Indiana Jones look,

you should do it Wolfenstein style where there's a little picture of his face in the bottom. Oh, yeah. And as he gets beaten up, you see Harrison Ford's face being brutalised. Being beaten up, yeah. But I think the shots we get of this version of Indiana Jones look really good, yeah. Troy Baker's doing the voice.

Yeah, sure. I mean, he does all the voices, doesn't he, Mason? Yes, it's him and David Hayter, right? Who do all the voices? It's him and Nolan North. Nolan North, that's who I'm thinking of. And not that they're not talented because they obviously are. Yeah.

I should think you should get Tara Strong for the voice of Harrison Ford. I agree, I agree. So there's someone I would love to do it, but I don't want to be like. Is it you? Yeah, it's me. I'd love to do it. G'day, boys. I'm Indiana Jones.

All right. Get on your back. What does that mean? I don't know. Get out boys. That's good. I love that. We're going to look, there's no time because it's hot,

quick news, but I think we're definitely going to return to Indiana Jones, but he just has that voice for some reason. Is he Australian? No. It's just the voice that he has. He's from where he's from. Yeah, he's from where he's from.

Whatever that is. People asking what do we think of. G'day, boys. I'll be taking that idol. Thanks, boys. All right. See you later, boys. Get on your back.

You bloody stay there. This is the perfect piece of news for Hot Quick News. I know. Because of my dual whip wielding Anyway, for people who say that first person action In this style wouldn't work Conicals of Riddick did it Conicals of Riddick, Mirror's Edge games

I know they're obviously different, but it can be done I bet when you do the first whip Across a gorge and you do a big swing I bet you're like, whoa, this is cool I bet you'll poo your pants G'day boys, you'll poo your pants. I bet you'll poo your pants. G'day, boys. You got any spare pants around here? Not important why, boys.

I hate this character. It's so quick news. People ask you about What If Season 2. What do we think? I liked it. People asked about Monarch. I liked it. Echo.

I haven't seen it. I watched Echo. And? It's good, I think it. People asked about Monarch. I liked it. Echo, I haven't seen it. I watched Echo. And? It's good, I think. Yeah. Wow. Is it? Okay, here's the thing about Echo.

Does it feel like it was nine episodes? Yes, it does. Yeah, okay. It's a little bit unfocused. Look, I like- How's the Daredevil stuff? Spoilers? Who cares?

He's in one episode. He's in the first episode. There is one action sequence with him, and I don't think there's an action sequence that's better than that one sit after that okay yeah oh that's uh but it is very good and her name is is it alaqua cox hang on let me just check uh i think she's very good in the role yeah she is good alaqua cox there we go i think she's very good in the role what's interesting is the first episode is a combination of flashbacks to her appearances in Hawkeye, flashbacks to her childhood, some new stuff, but as presented in flashbacks as if we'd already seen it, and then some new stuff. So it's a little bit like, oh, this is a lot to take in, and it's happening over a series of different time periods.

And then it becomes a sort of show where she has to go back to her hometown to reassess and reevaluate. And they're like, what are you doing here? Exactly. But then there's some kingpin stuff happening in her home. And he's like, what am I doing here? Exactly. And then there's some –

How's his eye? It's fine. He's got a chip in it or whatever. Oh, my God. He's got a chip in it. He's got a chip in it. Like a potato chip. Yeah, like a potato chip.

He's put a lace in there. Oh, great. The elastra helps with the healing. Very good. And it gives him diarrhea. So with the – they did do that, didn't they? With the chip. So he's got like a fake bionic eye.

What are we talking about? He's got some scarring and there's like – there appears to be like a little – he's got a little circuit on there, which I don't know. But also there's a sequence in it where in order to more easily communicate with her, she gets a contact lens in and then he's got like a sign language. So he speaks and you see these phantom arms move in front of him. Oh, he never bothered to. Because he never bothered to learn sign language, yeah.

That's rude. It is rude, isn't it? Yeah. There's a fight on a roller rink. I mean, I always thought he was rude. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, yeah, it does definitely feel like it's been cut down from nine. Okay.

Also, she has powers derived from her, like, Native American roots. Okay. And it's just a bit vague. Right. It's sort of. I love the mysticism of it. Yeah, and I think the idea, because in the comic book, she has similar powers to Taskmaster. She can see an action and sheicism of it. Yeah, and I think the idea, because in the comic book, she has similar powers to Taskmaster.

She can see in action and she can copy it. But obviously there's already a Taskmaster in this universe and it's a woman in this universe. So I think they were like, we've got to give her a new thing. And it's like, well, what if she had vague strength? What if she did? Right? And a glowing thing.

Could she kick a car and an airbag would go off? Maybe. All right. Didn't see it happen though. All right. There's a supporting character who's a real doofus called Biscuits. Hot quick news. Oh, sorry.

Sorry. I'm going to whip you off there, Mason. It was pretty fun. I'll check it out. Yeah, yeah. Foggy Nelson and Karen Page are going to return to Daredevil, which is resuming filming. It's going to be 18 episodes, but now it's going to be less episodes or more episodes. I don't know.

And also it's going to have Bullseye. The Bullseye is back as well. I should finish Daredevil Season 3. I never did. And also – yeah, so basically they apparently spent months filming this and none of it worked and they're like, hey, maybe we should just continue the thing that everyone liked. Interesting.

Oh, yeah, it's canon again. Yeah. All the Netflix stuff is brought back. Woo, who cares? It doesn't matter. Anything's canon. I care and I love it. You're right.

Tren started filming. Canon's canon. Karen's canon? Karen's Karen? Karen's Karen's Karen. Tron 3 or Trin. I think we've got to settle on Tren. I like Tren. Okay, I like Tren too.

I like everything about this except for Jared Leto. Yeah. Karen Monaghan's in it, who's great. I like the director. I love the universe. Fuck this. But is it also, is it... Because of Jared Leto specifically.

Well, yeah, but is it a continuation of... Sort of. I like, do the Cillian Murphy thing they were doing. Yeah, so for people who don't know, the second one was directed by... Joseph Kaczynski. Joseph Kaczynski of Top Gun Maverick, and it has an uncredited cameo from Cillian Murphy

who plays the son of the human villain from the original movie. And people were like, this is a real tease for the next one. But, I mean, I also understand that they've both done big hit movies and they're probably childlike. Yeah, but they could have got him before fucking Oppenheimer came out. Yeah, I guess. Let's be real. Yeah, that's probably true.

Oh, yeah, they did have, when did Tron 2 come out? 2009? Yes. Something like that. Actually, the director of this, he did, look, Maleficent 2, The Last Pride Scaramouche. Look, not movies that this, he did, look, Maleficent 2, The Last Pride Scaramour. Look, not movies that I love. Sure, absolutely, yeah.

But here's the thing, James, at least they will not lavish the care and attention on the special effects they did in the last one. Oh, thank God. And also there won't be a Daft Punk soundtrack. Oh, yeah. So it'll be worse in every conceivable way. Okay, well, that's good, I guess. That's good, right?

Yeah, it's good. Yeah. Anything can be good. And also Jeff Bridges won't be in it. No. Or the other guy, his son. Jeff Bridges' son. Yeah.

Whatever his name is. Garrett Hedlund? It might have been. We don't know. Yeah. Someone call him. Give him a call. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Also, Oscar snubs. That happens every year. This year it was Barbie. Except not because it got eight Oscar nominations. Yeah, but it didn't get, like, Best Director or Margot Robbie and all of that. And Hillary Clinton sent out a very inspiring message to women Way to kill the chances of Barbie, Hillary Clinton. Kiss her death.

Good Lord. What are you doing? What were you thinking? Also, that movie got, well, first of all. I don't like her for different reasons that people don't like her. Wow. All right. Secret reasons.

Interesting. It's not secret. They like her. Wow. All right. Secret reasons. Interesting. Not secret. They're known. Anyway, go on. I mean, the obvious reason I think is that Best Film now has ten nominations. Yeah. Whereas all the other categories only have five. So by its very nature, sometimes it might get Best,

something might get nominated for Best Picture but not the other category. It happens all the time. might get nominated for Best Picture but not the other category. It happens all the time. And, you know, also Margot Robbie didn't get nominated for Best Actor but she got a nomination for Producer because Lucky Chap produced that movie. And Greta Gerwig got a nomination not for Director but for Best Adapted Screenplay.

Yeah. Which, you know, makes – and I can see the logic of that, that that got nominated for best adapted screenplay but killers of the flower moon didn't yeah like i don't agree with it necessarily but you can see the well with killers of the flower moon you have the book which is apparently you know very well researched and very well written and it you know it could it's a it's maybe a lesser matter to just take some of the well-drawn-out characters and put them in the movie but to take a nothing thing like Barbie, which is just a toy,

and then make anything out of it. Anything good. Anything good, yeah. Anyway, it's not going to win Best Picture anyway. No, it's absolutely not. It'll probably go to Oppenheimer or something weird that I don't know about. Something weird, yeah.

Cool. Anyway, yeah, snubs and – Always snubs. They never get it right. They never will. Well, I mean, They never get it right. They never will. Well, I mean, they never get it right and they never will and, you know. Who's hosting this year? Probably nothing.

Probably an AI guy. They don't put any effort in anymore. You know when it was like, you know when like Fantastic. Yeah, Steve Martin would be like, hello. Yeah, or like, you know, a year where like Fantastic Mr. Fox gets nominated and Fantastic Mr. Fox is there. You know what I mean? Yeah, absolutely. Or Shrek is there. Shrek is there and he's like, oh, Jimmy gets nominated and Fantastic Mr. Fox is there. You know what I mean? Absolutely.

Or Shrek is there. Shrek is there and he's like, oh, Jimmy Kimmel. Godzilla should be there. They should get a guy in a Godzilla suit and put him in there. It's Jimmy Kimmel. All right. Now he's going to be like, oh, movies suck and they're long. I didn't watch Oppenheimer.

It's too long and it sucked. Did anyone else hear about this Barbenheimer thing? Yes. We all heard about it for the whole year. We're never not going to hear about it. You should fight that guy you had that beef with who said on the podcast that you're a pedophile or whatever. Oh, yeah, you should fight him, yeah.

Do that. You should fight Adam Carolla for some reason. Fight him. That'd be great. You should fight a series of guys. Now, that I'd pay to see. Absolutely. Pay-per-view the Oscars.

Please. And also, again, it's always that thing of like somebody's going to win for a movie that they – somebody's going to win for a role they did last year that they didn't win for. Yeah, exactly. And somebody's going to win for a movie that wasn't particularly good but it's a Lifetime Achievement Award and, you know, there's going to be a movie that's obviously fake that no one saw

that's in the Best Picture nominees or whatever. I can't remember what it's called this year. Nyad, is that what it's called? That's not real. I don't know. I genuinely don't know what you're saying. There you go. What didn't get nominated?

I know this is all quick news. What didn't get nominated? A bunch of, Andrew Scott probably should have got nominated. Which one? All of Us Strangers. I haven't seen that, but I really want to see it, yeah. Greta Lee didn't get nominated for anything. She was in Past Lives, you know that movie about.

Oh, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Past Lives. Past Lives, yeah. Get out of here. Get out of here, Oscars. Get out of here, Oscars. All right, we're going to talk about big stuff. Okay.

They are, it's true. There's less movies out this year, though, because there was a big strike. I don't know if you remember, we talked about it all of last year. And a bunch of movies have probably been written off for tax purposes. Oh yeah, that's true. That's also happening. Halle Berry recently got one of her Netflix properties completely cancelled. Is that a first for Netflix? To cancel something for a tax write-off? Something of that

high profile. Apparently the kids that were in it now kind of aged out of it so they can't do reshoots so they're just binning it. Let's be real. It wasn't going to be good anyway. It's a Netflix movie. Four Netflix movies are good. Extraction. Extraction 2. I like The Old Guard and I'm counting it even though nobody else counts it. Okay, okay.

A fourth movie they'll add later. The Michael Bay one. Oh, Ambulance? Yeah, or the other one. Sure, okay. Big heist, whatever it's called. Sure, big heist in a big green car. Yeah.

It's a good one. Four good movies. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I guess it's five if you count Ambulance and the other big greed heist car movie But anyway, we're going to go through the biggest movies The most anticipated movies of the year Some of these won't come out Absolutely

Already Mickey 17 has had its date Oh, that's Bong Joon-ho and it's got Robert Pattinson in it And they just removed it It doesn't have a date at the moment I read that book, I thought it was a lot of fun. I mean, what an incredible director and actor. Mark Ruffalo's in it as well, but we just don't know what's happening with it.

Speaking of Mickeys, Mickey Mouse, Steamboat Willie, no longer in copyright. But just that version? Just that version. There's some specifics. You can use anything that is in that short. The boat. The boat, Steamboat Willie.

Yeah, yeah. Any of that. So we're going to develop a new character over the course of 2024. Yeah. G'day, boys. Oh, g'day, boys. It's me, Steamboat Willie. What's going on, boys?

Yeah, I'll do a bloody whistle on a mod. But the whistle's out of my bum. I'm different. Not in the way you're going to like. I'm liking this guy already though. That's the thing. Yep, yep, I am. Great.

So let's start in February, which is in the month that's this week. Yeah, sure. What happened in January? Nothing, basically. Yeah, some stuff came out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know, some things. Anyone but you as a big box office hit?

It's the biggest rom-com since last Bridget Jones movie in 2016. About like $100 million. Yeah. So that could indicate that, well, look, if you've got two of the hottest actors in the world, literally, Mason. I mean, I don't mean temperature-wise because that doesn't make sense. No, but they're in Australia.

That's hot. That's hottest actors in the world, Mason. And you do this huge marketing campaign and whatever, and then you could make $100 million. And it's confusing. And it's confusing. People like that. And the movie has to be made on $20 million or whatever.

Oh, that's true. So, yeah. Maybe it's the start of a new rom-com renaissance. Rom-coms. Rom-coms plus creature feature. Oh, very good, Mason. Argyle. That's coming up.

Oh, yeah, sure. Isn't that out this week? It might be. Yeah, man. Yeah. Who do you think the real agent Argyle. That's coming up. Oh, yeah, sure. Isn't that out this week? It might be. Yeah, man. Yeah. Who do you think the real agent Argyle is? Who cares? I think it's Daniel Craig.

But I do care, actually. I think it might be Daniel Craig. Oh, my God. I guess that would make sense. So that's, what's the date on this one? Yeah, Feb 1st. So, yeah, that is out this week. So we'll probably talk about that next week.

Okay. So not too much to say about that because I just want to talk about Madam Web. Okay. Which is, I don't know if just want to talk about Madam Web. Okay. Which is, I don't know if you heard the news about Madam Web over the break, Mason, but there were some stories and rumours because when we saw the trailer, we were like, is this set in the 90s? What's happening here?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And apparently they had to do a bunch of reshoots because originally this was going to be in the Andrew Garfield Spider-Man universe and make it his problem. That's right. That poor man has been through enough. Leave him alone. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on. He's right. That poor man has been through enough. Leave him alone. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Come on. He's just, he's trying so hard. Yeah. He's a good Spider-Man despite everything that has happened to him. I just wanted to, just before we go on to that, I just wanted to talk about Argyle briefly. Sure. There's a shot in the trailer where we see John Cena.

He's wearing a colourful shirt. Wow. That's not all. I mean, that's wonderful, obviously. But there's also a movie from 2015 called Mr. Right. It's got Sam Rockwell in it. Oh, that one. They're wearing the same shirt.

Anna Kendrick one? But Sam Rockwell's also an argyle. Is that a clue? Is it? Maybe. You think they're in the same movie? Is that the Anna Kendrick movie? I keep seeing Anna Kendrick.

It is Anna Kendrick in it. He's a hitman sometimes. He's a somewhat reformed hitman and they get into a... They liaise. They have a liaise. They somewhat liaise. I'll show you the shirt, James. I don't want to say it.

Okay. Well, there's no time anyway. Okay, good. I don't have it here. It's not important. So, yeah. No, I do have it. There we go.

It's this shirt. It's this exact shirt. It's a good shirt. Yeah. I like it. Yeah, it's good. And I'm just saying, how did that – Do you think it's the same size shirt?

Absolutely not. There's no way. You don't think so? No. Okay. Okay. All right. If that's what you think. I'm just saying shirt? Absolutely not. There's no way. You don't think so? No. Okay. Okay. All right, if that's what you think.

I'm just saying all the clues point to Daniel Craig. Oh, my God. Okay. We'll find out. Or just Henry Cavill with a different haircut. Yeah. Or the cat's a spy. Oh, my God. Yeah.

So, yeah. Anyway, there's Madam Web. There were reshoots because they were going to put it in the Andrew Garfield universe. But then the timeline wouldn't have worked out. The timeline doesn't work because his father's uncle's in it all. Is it his father or his uncle in it? Adam Scott is definitely Uncle Ben. Okay.

That's not Ben Parker? That is Ben Parker. I mean, sorry, Peter Parker's father whose name is a different name? Yes, it's not him. No, it's Ben. It's definitely Ben Parker. And I think there's a still that's been going around on Twitter where he's holding a fortune cookie and people are like,

well, the fortune cookie is going to say, with great power comes great responsibility. Oh, my God. Or something akin to that. You're going to die. You're going to get shot by a burglar. Well, I won't be needing this. It's either going to be with great power comes great responsibility

and everybody in the theatre is going to go, ugh, or it's going to say with great power comes great responsibility and everybody in the theatre is going to go, or it's going to say with great power comes great fortune cookies or something. That's fun too. And everyone will cheer. Everyone will cheer. That's right. And fortune cookies will rain down in the cinema.

Oh, my God. Sony are going all out on this one. And you'll crack one open and be like, you'll be shot by a burglar. Wait, what? So then they changed it. They were going to make it the Tom Holland universe and then they realised they can't do that either

because that also doesn't make sense so now they've gone back and done reshoots where they've wiped out any idea of when it is set so it's in a vague universe of its own now which I love that's great there we go

and just scenes where somebody's like boy what time is it? we don't know where am I? no one in this universe has a Boy, what time is it? We don't know Where am I? No one in this universe has a watch What even is a watch? I don't know Yeah Don't you love this city we live in?

New York? I couldn't possibly say I don't know Yeah I love living in Yorkville Yeah, where's Venom, sir? Are we there? Are we in that one?

Shh Shh Just dump all this shit in the same Morbius Venom universe. It's fine. Wall it off. It's in the same thing, right? Okay, literally wall it off? Yeah, wall it off.

Yeah, okay, sure. Okay, great. Let's talk March now. Oh, that was it? Yeah. It's hot quick. That's not. But we're still going to move.

There was also a weird piece of viral marketing where we had Dakota Johnson being like, you should go and buy tickets to Adam Ware. She's looking at the camera. She's like, you should go on my tickets to no matter where. She's looking at the camera, she's like, you better buzz. But she doesn't have those powers, does she? No, but it was just a weird just felt odd. Yeah. Buzz them, dude. I mean, I will but only because of the show. There was no way I would

see this or any of these spam movies if I didn't have to. Yeah. Yeah. That's how they're getting us because everybody has a podcast now. So everybody has to watch it to review it. March, we've got Dune Part 2. Dune Part 2. Do you love it?

Looks good. That will act a delay, maybe. No, it's already been delayed. Oh, okay, right. So they pushed it because of the writer's strike. You get one delay as a treat. Yeah. And then you have to put it out.

Because now they can promo it properly and whatever. And they can just stomp all over Matt and Webb by the time it comes out. That's true, yeah. Or Matt and Webb will, I don't know, maybe it's just going to be the wave that will ride into summer. Maybe it's the Sydney Sweeney sweep. Exactly. So yeah, Dune looks good. There's a big,

what's his name, Elvis is playing a big white skirt. Sydney Sweeney is on Hot Ones this week, and I'm like, what is she going to be plugging? Is she still going to be? No, she's got a horror movie out as well or something. I was going to say the wise choice would be to keep plugging anyone but you, but I mean, why would you be on Hot Ones this week and I'm like, what is she going to be plugging? Is she still going to be – No, she's got a horror movie out as well or something. Okay, I was going to say the wise choice would be to keep plugging anyone but you, but I mean why would you be on Hot Ones to plug Madame Webb? Because someone has to. Yeah.

And we're not going to do it. It'd be a few things, right? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know. Yeah, probably. Hey, all the stuff I'm doing. Yeah, hey, all the stuff. You look it up.

Yeah. Spaceman. This is the Adam Sandler movie. Yeah, and Adam Sandler and Paul Dano. So Adam Sandler is an astronaut. He's on a deep space mission and he's lonely. But then also there's a big spider on the ship. He's an alien spider from the beginning of time.

He's voiced by Paul Dano. There's also another book which I read recently. What's it called? I can't remember. I talk about it all the time on Suggestible and Claire was which I read recently. What's it called? I can't remember. I talk about it all the time on Suggestible and Claire was going to read it but it's also got a space spider in it and that's also going to be a movie. Pride and Prejudice? Yeah, that's the one.

They've done that already. Yeah, they did it already but I'm going to see it twice. So there you go. G'day, boys. It's me, Pride and Prejudice. First name Pride and second name Prejudice. I'm a space spider. Oh, a space spider.

Okay. Yeah, cool. I'm here to teach you how to be a lady. Is that what this movie's about? A lady spider? No. A Victorian era lady. I'm very skilled in the art of teaching ladies how to be polite,

exist in polite society. Because I'm from the beginning of time. Oh, because, yeah, and you're a spider. And I'm a spider. Okay. That's interesting. You've got to learn how to do a fancy walk if you're a spider. Can I walk regular in my own personal life?

I suppose. Don't let anybody see you. Okay. Put a book on your head. Put a book on my head? That's right. What kind of book? A fancy book.

A fancy book? That's right. Like a doily? Like a book about doilies? Yeah. Oh, this was part of it, wasn't it? Yeah. Okay.

This is a test. You're fired from department school. Oh, no. All right. Goofy Band of Four. What do you think? I don't care. They're good.

I guess. They're good and people like it. Okay. People are saying not enough of the famous five who was in it or whatever. The sinister, all these mates. Oh, right. There's like Jackie Chan, Grasshopper, Angelina Jolie, Snake or whatever. Right, because they're all too expensive now.

Yeah, I guess. They're doing these on the cheap. I mean, they've made a TV series. Who's the main guy? Who's the main voice of the Kung Fu Panda? Is it Jack Black? It's Jack Black, yeah. Okay, right.

He's a good one. He's a good one. He's a good one, I like him. After that, we've got Road that we got roadhouse yep well we're boycotting that aren't we no i'm gonna watch it yeah i'll also watch it yeah i mean it'd be on amazon right exactly i'll watch reacher and then roadhouse reach a roadhouse damn uh and then two big boys and then we've got that work great together they're so big oh what if reacher tried to get into Roadhouse's Roadhouse? Oh, my God. Right?

What would happen? The earth would split in two. I think it might split in two. And then they'd go in the separate ones. They'd each take half of the earth. Sorry, Reacher, I can't let you in. Well, I'm afraid, Roadhouse, you're going to have to let me in. Because I've done some deductions on you. Oh, my God.

Various Sherlock Holmes-style deductions. He does do that. I know. You're going to let me in because I've done some deductions on you. Oh, my God. Various Sherlock Holmes-style deductions. He does do that. I know. You're going to let me in. But he won't? He won't. Yeah, cool. This is exciting for you, Ghostbusters Frozen Empire.

It is exciting for me. Because it's apparently a throwback to the real Ghostbusters animated series. It's not just like, here's Zool again and here's everything you've seen. They're going to try a new thing. Of everything you've seen but in a different medium. Yes, but with – that's true. But it's sincere now. Yeah, it's sincere and it's got the characters who are alive in real life.

That's great. That's great. So they're not doing only the actors who've died are returning. No, they already did that. So I'm excited. No, only the actors who've died. Oh, only. Yeah, I guess so.

Also apparently Walter Peck is back. That's cool. The Environmental Protection Agency guy. He might be the mayor. Might be the mayor. He's either the mayor or he's been put in a basement somewhere and he's all sad. People have talked about how he's right, right?

Like he was right? Absolutely, yeah. Yeah, cool. Not a fan. We don't have to talk about it. You're just happy that somebody's talked about it. Yeah, exactly. Not a fan, obviously, of this franchise, but isn't Patton Oswalt in it?

Oh, yeah, he is, yeah. Kamau Nanjiani's in it. Paul Rudd is back. The kids from the first one. Original cast members of Ghostbusters. Do you think Podcast is back? The character of Podcast? Yes.

I mean, how could you not? How could there be a Ghostbusters movie without the character of Podcast? They're going to retroactively insert him into the first movie, I think. God, I hope so. There will be a Ghostbusters time travel movie at some point, right, if they keep making these. It's the 80s. What do we do?

We've got to make sure original Ghostbusters happens. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ghost has gone back in time and he moved a thing and it made the Ghostbusters not happen. Yeah. They're all woke. A ghost went back in time and it stopped the library ghost from spooking them so they didn't become the Ghostbusters.

So we've got to go back and we've got to get the lady Ghostbuster to spook the Ghostbusters again. Damn. And we're woke. And we're woke? That's right. We're getting away with too much, Mason, over there. I know, right?

This studio, whoever makes these. That's right. Paramount or whatever, I can't remember. Goddamn. Then we've got Godzilla X Kong. I'm actually, look, honestly, I'm really excited. Iount or whatever. I can't remember. Goddamn. Then we've got Godzilla X Kong. I'm actually, look, honestly, I'm really excited. I know you are. No, not that.

Not even this movie. I don't care about this movie anymore. I'm now excited about the movie where they have to go back in time to the 80s. And they just go, this is our end game and we have to go through the scenes in the original Ghostbusters. Yeah, man. Ah, incredible. With such reverence. Oh, there's going to be so much reverence because we're going to see Ray

and we're going to see Pete and then there's going to be stirring music and we're going to see Egon. It's like, oh, it's Egon. Is there going to be stirring music when they hide in the cupboard and watch a ghost suck the dick of Dan Aykroyd? Yes. A thing that happened in that movie? Yes.

Oh, that's what they've got to make sure happens. You've got to do it. I don't really do that. I'm a ghost. Listen. It'm a ghost. Listen. It's already happened. No, they put an amulet on Ray and he turns invisible. Wait, Ray?

Yeah. But isn't he already? No, like present day. Okay. Yeah. I hate that. Well, that's what's going to happen. He's going to have to do it because otherwise the Ghostbusters won't get

formed and they won't save the city. The city will be destroyed. Yeah, Marshmallow Man, et cetera. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. I know. Yeah. Ray, the Marshmallow Man will destroy the city unless you do this.

Yep. Dad Ackroyd might. I'm saying he will. He will. As a cool ghost goof. Yeah. Just explain to him the amulet and the dimensions or whatever. He will. As a cool ghost goof. Yeah. Just explain to him the amulet and the dimensions or whatever.

He loves that sort of stuff. Do you want Egon to live or whatever? I don't know. Yeah, sure. Yeah. He can't. He can't really. No. Godzilla X Kong, the new empire.

Excited for that. Let's go. Why not? Yeah, yeah. Big gorillas. Big gorillas. Godzilla's new. Get a big glow up, literally.

It's fun. It's cool. Do you a big glow up, literally. It's fun. It's cool. Do you think he's going to revert back to regular Godzilla at the end of this? Do you think he's going to expend all his pink energy? Oh. I think he will. Yeah? I hope he doesn't.

I hope he keeps evolving. Do you think he'll go to a different color? I think pink is a really good look for this. I think he looks great. Yeah. And he's done it before for people like, this is unheard of. He has done it. He's done a bunch of rich shit. And also, I think it looks great because it's a good contrast because he's always. Yeah. And he's done it before for people like this is unheard of. He has done it. He's done a bunch of rich shit.

Also, I think it looks great because it's a good contrast because he's always in water and I think when he's blue, they have to – it's a thing where it works best at night when the sea is black and et cetera. But now you can do daytime looks because he's – Give him a daytime look. It's a good daytime look is all I'm saying. April, we've got the first Omen, which is an Omen prequel.

Okay, sure. Because it's the first one. Sure. Yeah. Which one is the Omen franchise? The one where a kid is the devil or something. Oh, yeah. Right, right.

Or something. Damien Devil. Or something. Okay, sure, sure, sure. Then we've got Civil War. But what is it now? Because it has to be woke. It's got to be.

Probably a girl Omen. If you can imagine. A Goman. Yeah. Civil War. Oh, sure. This imagine. A gomen. Yeah. Civil War. Oh, sure. This is the new Alex Garland movie. Yeah, where it's about the American Civil War, but a new one.

Uh-oh. And what's had that happen or whatever, you know? Probably division. Probably division, yeah. So I'm looking forward to that because I always enjoy the movies he writes and or directs for the most part. Then we've got The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. Okay, this is a historical drama. I think it's another Guy Ritchie movie. and or directs for the most part. Then we've got The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.

Okay, this is a historical drama of some sort? I think it's another Guy Ritchie movie. Okay. Because, you know, he does four movies a year. He does four movies a year. No one can stop him. Yeah, directed by Guy Ritchie. So it's based on the book Churchill's Secret Warriors,

the explosive true story about the special forces desperados of World War II by Damian Lewis. So it's built as a true story of blah, blah, blah. Basically, it's when the special forces were founded. didn't they just do a tv series about this yeah maybe and maybe dominic or something yeah one of those guys yeah the guy who played stark's father but the younger version him whatever his name is dominic cooper oh yeah might have been in it all right okay something i might be thinking of a different thing then we've got abigail did you see the trailer for this it's got like dan stevens she's the girl from matilda the musical uh it's dracula ballerina girl i haven't seen this it looks good okay abigail they go to a new property oh yeah someone is a fucking dracula but yeah so they go to a house the trailer gives it away they go to a house

and they're like you have to kidnap this girl or whatever and it turns out the girl is a dracula and the kidnappers are there to actually be like free. And this is a present day thing. It feels like what they did for that Wolfman thing recently. Or Ladies on a Plane, Die Hard on a Plane but she's a vampire. Oh, yeah, I liked Die Hard on a Plane and the Vampire Lady. Yeah, that was good.

That's the fourth Netflix thing. Die Hard on a Plane but it's Dracula. That was Netflix, right? Was that in English? Yes. Was it? Yes. I don't remember. Okay. Cool. Oh, speaking of Netflix, right? Was that in English? Yes. Was it? Yes. Don't remember.

Okay. Cool. Oh, speaking of Netflix. Yes. There's actually more movies on Netflix that are good than you can even think of. Disagree. Rebel Moon Part 2, The Scar Giver. Okay, sure.

That's coming out in April. Okay. And by Scar, S-K-A? No. Was that technically Scar? It's a Scar version of that song, yes. Free cursor to Scar. Oh, yeah, because the original one isn't a, doesn't matter.

Mason. Yes. I was doing a trumpet. We're talking about the real big fish cover of Take On Me. Yes, yes, yes, I know. I got confused. I should have done anything. I should have done a generic Scar, like a.

Yeah. You know. Yeah, exactly. That's fun. But all roads lead to Take On Me. All of them. What are we talking about? Oh, it's going to be bad.

It's going to be bad. Is this coming out before or after the super R-rated sexy version? I think the director's cut of the first one was coming out before because I guess that would be like promo for this. That would be the lead-in. Oh, my God. I don't know. I don't care.

No, I don't care. We will watch it. We have to watch it. We have to watch it. Will this be the one that finally- It's the Madam Web of this month. Oh, by the way, don't know. I don't care. I hate it. No, I don't care. We will watch it. We have to watch it. We have to watch it. Will this be the one that finally – It's the Madam Web of this month. Oh, by the way, are we in Madam Webuary? Is that the month that we're in?

Yeah. Can we be in Madam Weebuary? Because we love Madam Web so much. Yeah, sure. I mean, we're not technically there at the time of recording. But we will be. But we will be this week, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Caravan of Garbage is back this week. We're doing the Tom Holland Spider-Man movies. Nice. Then we've got Challengers, which is the Zendaya tennis movie. Yeah, sexy tennis. Yeah, sexy tennis. So that's coming up as well. So the trailer looks good.

It does. That has some relation to an Oscar-nominated movie this week, I think. Okay, is it the director? It might be. It is. It is the, I think, the director, Luca Guadagnino, he is the husband of the woman who directed Anatomy of a Fall. Oh, apparently that's very good.

Meh, I've heard. Have you seen it? I've heard. I haven't seen it. Haven't seen it? I haven't seen it. Cool, man. That's great.

Then we're going to move our way into May. Mayuary. Mayuary. Aunt Mayuary. Mayuary, thank you. Because it's still going to be going. Matterweb's still going to be going. We're never going to stop. And one of those characters is Aunt May, probably. Aunt May Ueri. Very, thank you. Because it's still going to be going. Madame Web's still going to be going. We're never going to stop.

And one of those characters is Aunt May, probably. Completely agree. Or do you reckon they're not going to reveal Aunt May until the sequel to Madame Web? I think they're going to, she's going to be in silhouette in the post-credits, out of telephone or something. Hello? Yeah.

Yes, this is Aunt May. Technically, I'm an aunt, yes. And my son, nephew, Peter Parker Was just born Oh, it's going to be a call from the hospital Yeah, that's great news What did you call him? Peter

Okay. Ryan Gosling. Stuntman movie. He loves a stuntman movie. He's always doing one. That's true. This is his latest. Looks like there's a lot of real stuff in it, hopefully,

because otherwise what's the point? We talked about that. Yeah, that's right. Then we've got Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. Oh, yeah. Big time creature feature. Love that. Yeah, so we did a commentary for the original Planet of the Apes. Oh, yeah. Big time creature feature. Love that. Yeah, so we did a commentary for the original Planet of the Apes,

Oh, my God. I was in True Detective, the worst season. That's a good season. I don't mind it either, Mason. Let's be real with each other. All right. It just wasn't the first. Apparently they're tying in the new season to season one.

I'm very much enjoying it so far. Oh, is it good? It's a real spooky time, let me tell you that much. Okay, all right. Then we've got Furiosa, a Mad Max saga. Oh, yes. Excited for that? Yes.

Potentially. I don't know. I shouldn't doubt George Miller because whenever I do, he makes Mad Max saga. Oh, yes. Excited for that? Yes. Potentially. I don't know. I shouldn't doubt George Miller because whenever I do, he makes Mad Max. But then we've got the tall poppy syndrome because he's Australian. Australian. So we've got to cut him down. We hate that about him. But, yeah.

No, I'm really looking. I would have loved it. You should be filming episodes of Neighbours. Exactly. You should be directing those. Which is back, by the way. Great. I mean, I would have loved a Charlize Theron Furiosa movie, but I'll take this.

Whatever. And speaking of movies. She's busy doing Fast X 2. Oh, yeah. She's in that, maybe. Right. I mean, I would have loved a Charlie's the Ron Furiosa movie, but I'll take this, whatever. And speaking of movies. She's busy doing Fast X 2. Oh yeah, she's in that maybe. Yeah. Is she in the last one? Yeah,

she's in it for a minute. She's in the submarine? Wait. Michelle Rodriguez? They had a fight in the facility? Okay, she's in it for quite a bit. Is she?

Yeah. That facility fight she has with Michelle Rodriguez, is that in that movie though or a different movie? That's in 10, I'm pretty confident. God, who's in movies? Is it nine where she shows up, she's in a DeLorean?

Fuck, man, I don't know. Okay, she's in the new DeLorean, which is not a good looking film. New DeLorean. Somebody bought the IP of DeLorean and built a new DeLorean, but it looks hideous. So on brand. Yeah, absolutely. Great.

Then we've got the Garfield movie. Did you know there was a gold DeLorean? Yes, I did. It's called Gold DeLorean. It was called Gold DeLorean. No, I did. It was called gold DeLorean. It was called gold DeLorean. No, I did know that. And it was worth even more or less. Yeah, and you also had to have a gold American Express card to buy it or something.

Oh, it must be nice. It would have been nice. To be an absolute dumb fuck. It would have been nice. In the 80s, my God, it would have been the best time in the world to be that. To have a gold American Express card in the 80s and be full to the brim with cocaine. You could do anything. Oh, my God.

Just driving recklessly on cocaine in your gold DeLorean. My goodness. It would have been incredible. Yeah, you're right. I wish I lived then. Well, you can't. I can't. It's true.

Yeah. Should we crowdfund for a gold DeLorean? Please. And a pile of cocaine. Let me just quickly Google that. What? Gold DeLorean and cocaine. DeLorean. There's of cocaine. Let me just quickly Google that. What? Gold DeLorean and cocaine. DeLorean.

There's no way. They made like 20 of them. There's no way we can afford one. They were offered at $85,000 each. Okay. I mean, I know with inflation, that doesn't seem like ridiculous. I mean, it is ridiculous because it's a stupid thing to buy. See if there's one on carsales.com.au.

There's not as much going on here. Anyway, if you have one, let us know. We'll take it. Yeah, if you're listening with a gold DeLorean, yeah, sure. Garfield movie? Not interested. Me neither. Chris Pratt's Garfield, though.

June, ballerina from the mind of John Wick, et cetera. Oh, yeah. Is this still Ana de Armas? I believe so. They made this movie. There you go. They made it, didn't they? Yeah, okay.

You finished that series? What do you mean? Winston's Hotel. Yeah, I did. I quite liked it. It was all right? Yeah. Is it as good as the John Wick movies?

No. No? Interesting. It wasn I did. I quite liked it. It was all right? Yeah. Is it as good as the John Wick movies? No. No? Interesting. It wasn't? It had nobody in it? None of the actors from the original John Wick franchise? And it didn't look as good and the action wasn't as good? Yeah.

And it was a prequel and it wasn't as good as the John Wick movies? All those things are correct, yes. Okay, interesting. Yeah. Inside Out 2. But what did you expect? The thing you said. Okay.

Inside Out 2. What if your emotions had more emotions? Sure. More nuanced emotions. You know? I don't have time for this nuance, Mason. These emotions include sitting on your phone. Yep. Doom scrolling on your phone.

Yep. Buying stuff on your phone. Having a tummy ache. Having a big tummy ache because you had too much dairy and you might be lactose intolerant. You didn't know. But you don't want to admit it. You don't want to admit it.

But you don't want to go to a doctor and be like, hey, am I lactose intolerant? Because maybe you'd have to take a. You don't want to admit it. But you don't want to go to a doctor and be like, hey, am I lactose intolerant? Because maybe you'd have to take a tablet or something. Yeah, I imagine. You know? Yeah. Anyway, those are the new emotions. Exactly.

I'm excited for new emotions. Then we've got Bad Boys 4. No, we don't. No, we don't. You don't think so? No, I don't think so. Let me check that's for real coming out. I don't believe you.

Bad Boys. A couple of Bad Boys. It's coming out, man. June 14th. Wow. Okay, sure. Great. Yeah.

Great. Love that Martin Lawrence. Never done anything bad in his life. It's got Vanessa Hudgens in it. Currently it's, and they can't call it Bad Boys for life. Because they did that with the last one for some reason. Amazing. Yeah.

Filming began, principal photography began in April of last year. All right. Filming was suspended in July due to Saga. They should call it Bad Boys 5 Life. Yeah, exactly. They must do. So at the moment it does appear to be coming out, but, yeah, it probably won't.

It'll get pushed because it doesn't say anything about when they picked up the reshoots. Then we've got The Bike Riders, which is a movie that was going to come out it's got tom hardy and alvis and then there was like where the where the founders of harley davis and bike boys it's the 60s or 70s i was gonna get released through disney and they're like well we'd rather not actually tom hardy austin butler don't think so no we don't like that unlike though that combination of a-list celebrity power. So it went somewhere else. Yeah.

Or through 20th Century Fox again. I can't remember, but it is happening. Okay, I'm looking forward to that one, actually. Sure, why not? Then we've got A Quiet Place Day One. Oh. A Quiet Place prequel, sort of. Is that directed by?

John Krasinski? No, it's a different director. His name I cannot remember. Is it? We're doing the joke where it's the guy, Randall Park. I would love it to be Randall Park. That's a good joke, Mason. That is a good joke.

Thank you. And then we're getting Horizon colon An American Saga dash chapter one. And you might be like, what's that? Based on a video game? No, it's Kevin Costner's two-part Western epic. Remember he loves a big sprawling Western that he directs and he's in? Yeah, of course I do. He's back because he made a bunch of money from Yellowstone

and he can do this again. Yeah, hell yeah. Finally. It's been 30 years, but he's returned to his passion. I love that. I'll watch that probably. All he had to do was endure five years of streaming television to make enough money.

How do you think he's self-funding this? I think partially, and that because he's kind of, you know, he's big again. But he was like the biggest movie star in the world, remember? I remember. And then all he did was one or two post-apocalyptic movies where he's a fish man or a postman. Yep. And then the whole world turns on you, you know?

That's what happens. He's made two very bad movies. It's not that bad either. You've never seen The Postman. I have seen The Postman. But I was watching and I was like, why did they do this? It's Waterworld, but he's a postman. Yeah. It's based on a book, you know. Is it? Yep. What's the book called? The Postman. When I was watching it, I was like, why did they do this? It's Waterworld, but he's a postman. Yeah, it's based on a book, you know.

Is it? Yep. What's the book called? The Postman. Is it called Kevin Costner, Please Adapt This Book? No. You dumbass. If you're stupid enough.

I think it was bait. You think maybe a rival movie studio put it out. They got somebody to write a fake book. Yeah, that's what I think happened. It's by a famous guy. Let me look it up. Continue with you. Yeah, I mean, I can quickly do it.

The Postman book. Postman. David Brin. He did Sundiver. Which was Sundiver? It was a book. And Diving to the Sun? No, it was about a series.

It's called The Uplift Series. It's one of those ones where it's like there's aliens and when they see a culture with a certain level of technology, they show up and they're like, hey, do you want warp drive and stuff? Yeah. You want that? You want a bit of warp drive? Yes, please. Ooh, have some warp drive.

Leap up for the warp drive. Can I have it? No, you've got to grab the warp drive. It's right here. Oop, we'll pull it out of your grasp. I'm not jumping. No, no, come on. Come on, it's warp drive.

I'm going to get you in here. Oop, no, I've pulled it out of the way again. I don't even really wantop, we'll pull it out of your grasp. I'm not jumping. No, no, come on. Come on, it's warp drive again. You want it? Oop, no, I pulled it out of the way again. I don't even really want it. Well, you can go anywhere with it. You can go anywhere in the universe. I do want it, actually. Come on, grab it.

You can just grab it. Just give it to me. I'll give it to you tomorrow. What does that mean for you, though, tomorrow? What do your days look like? Oh, I guess, you know, we actually all perceive all time and space at the same time, so who knows? Who knows what?

Who knows what it means? Anyway, I've got to go. I'll see you over the other side of the universe? Yeah. Oh, you don't have warp drive yet. You can give it to me. I'm right here. No, I'll do it later.

Or earlier. Or before. Yeah. Great. Yeah. July. Pretty sparse. I don't know why.

Despicable Me 4 is coming out. Okay, sure. People like those. People love those minions. Twister. Twisters. Oh, wow. Didn't the first Twister have multiple Twisters?

Yes. Did you see the cow? Yep. And then, which will probably be one of the biggest movies, might be the biggest movie of the year even, Deadpool 3. Who's in Twister? Who's going to be in Twister? The dude from Top Gun, but not the main guy, Tom Cruise.

Glenn Powell's in it. Is he? Yeah. That's great. Yeah. I love that. It's not Bill Pullman or Paxton. When's Hitman coming out?

Oh, I saw the trailer for that. Who's directing that again? It's a guy who's good. He's famous. Noah something? No. No, it's the slacker guy. Yeah.

Richard Linklater. There we go, yes. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's gotten dumped on Netflix, hasn't it? Yeah, June. June, okay. Yeah.

Right. That Glenn Plough, how's he doing it? Charisma. And a good agent. And a good agent, yeah. that glenn plow how's he doing it charisma and a good agent and good agent yeah deadpool 3 we haven't really talked about it at all how you feeling mate you feeling about all of it you've seen all those there's been some set leaks and i have seen the entire movie yes we're not going to get into i mean there's been a lot of set leaks but also we haven't really like i don't think we've anybody's been able to piece together the plot yet yeah so that's good you don't think it's just able to piece together the plot yet. Yeah. So that's good. You don't think it's just the Flash, what they did in the Flash?

I think there'll be some fun digs at the Flash perhaps. Oh, my God. Can you imagine? Yeah. I think there'll be a Stan Lee cameo. Did you say Christopher Reeve's family was like? Yeah, I did say that, yeah. We didn't approve.

We didn't know this was going to happen, yeah. But that to me also, they didn't say we didn't approve it. They said we didn't know they were doing this version of it so maybe they said do you want we're going to put him in do you want some money and whatever it's still fucking awful yeah whatever way you look at it and there was another clip released from it was a nicholas cage interview it might be from some time ago but it was it was that thing where he he went over again and explained how he was told when he went in that his his version of superman was going to be be seeing the destruction of the universe

and you'd just see him react to that. Yeah. And then when he went in to see the movie, there was no react to that. He was inviting a spider. It was just a, like, you can tell that based on that video that he, you know, he was putting a lot of it into his eyes and, like, a lot of, you know, and he's, Cage is a good actor

and, like, you know, he was going to put the destruction of an entire reality into his face for a minute or whatever. Yeah. And then they just were like. I reckon they would have held on for a minute. No. But then they just gave him this glossy nothing face.

And he's fighting a spider. He's fighting the spider, yeah. Love it. Yeah. Yeah. But Deadpool 3. It seems like it's going to be a trip through X-Men and Fantastic Four memories and all those movies.

And for our podcast, The Big Sandwich Classic Comic Book Club, we read Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe, which was an unpleasant comic, I think. Did not like it. Yeah, but if you want to subscribe to that, get into that, which I think the movie is maybe very loosely based on. Based on the number of cameos, Deadpool is either going to kill a bunch of old Marvel properties,

like he's going to kill a bunch of old characters we see in older movies, or we're just going to encounter them. We're going to. He goes, oh, it's. And then they're going to die. Whatever. In the destruction of the universe. Oh, it's whatever.

It's whatever, yeah. Yeah, cool. Do you reckon he'll name the movies that they're in? Yeah. That's whoever from X-Men 2. Yeah. That's the guy from the Doctor Strange pilot from the 70s or whatever. Exactly.

August. We've got the movie Trap. Don't know what it is, but it's M. Night Shyamalan's next movie. Oh. So I'm always interested to know what that dude is up to. We're in a Shyamalan insurgence. I agree. I agree, I agree.

He does interesting stuff. I agree, yeah. Borderlands. Borderlands, the movie with Cate Blanchett is in it. Dis agree, I agree. He does interesting stuff. I agree. Yeah. Borderlands. Borderlands, the movie with Cate Blanchett is in it. Disaster, apparently. Okay, sure. The guy who owns Borderlands or whatever, he's awful, and there's that weird behind-the-scenes thing

we haven't really seen anything from, and Jack Black's in it. He's also going to be in the Minecraft movie or whatever. Okay, sure. Yeah, apparently it's just been an absolute train wreck. So this could become something salvageable. Kevin Hart's in it as well. Oh, then it's definitely salvage wreck. So this could become something salvageable. Kevin Hart's in it as well. Well, then it's definitely salvageable. Yeah, it's definitely salvageable.

So there you go. Oh, and then you're going to love this. Also in August, Horizon colon An American Saga dash chapter two. Based on the video game? Yes. Great. Kevin Costner's sprawling. So the first one's a sprawling epic and the second one is just based on the video game.

It's like Westworld and Futureworld. You get it. Yeah, I get it. Yeah, yeah, sure. Okay. Then, oh, I'm very looking much forward to this, Mason. Alien Romulus. Oh, nice.

Which is the next Alien movie, which might, because there's also Noah Hawley's also doing a TV series, and one of them is set like before, yeah, no, this is the one that's set between Alien and Aliens. Okay, sure. Yeah, and that's all we know about it. And it's Fede Alvarez who did the Evil Dead 2013 reboot. Okay, sure. Yeah. And that's all we know about it. And it's Fede Alvarez who did the Evil Dead 2013 reboot. Okay.

So is this based on is this what happens in between? No idea. Okay, right. No idea. Wow. But I also know that Noel Hawley is abandoning all the Prometheus Covenant stuff. Yeah, because he's like, it's more interesting if it's like an evolution of a species as opposed to a

guy that made it. Okay. I think that stuff is interesting. Hey, man, parallel universe, man. Hey, man. Also you could say. Parallel universe, parallel thought. They both thought of it.

You could also, I also think especially Covenant, you could go, okay, well, this is a metaphor. Yeah. A lot of that feels like kind of a religious metaphor where he becomes a godlike figure and blah, blah, blah. So maybe you could just say. Oh, God. No, you like it. Yeah.

No, I'm yawning at a different thing. Okay, good. At a different boring thing. Great. I love that. But you could say, okay, well, maybe that's a, you know, people around this galaxy have heard this story. This is how they were created.

But actually they weren't. Yeah. This is the God creation myth. Yeah. but maybe this new one is how it actually happened or something. Sick. How did it really happen? Oh, I meant to say this about the Jurassic World franchise. Remember they did that short when it was set in like a caravan park

or whatever? Yeah. Like that. Like a movie, but it's that. Sure. And it's like dinosaurs in the real world and you're camping, but there's a dinosaur and you're like, oh, this sucks. Yeah.

You know, that. Anyway. No, I agree, though, with you and the alien stuff. There is some not terrible ideas in that. That character of David is interesting. I quite like Covenant. Yeah. There's some real stupid scientists in it.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, and that I like about it. Oh, big spum here, Mason. You never guess what's next. You've stepped in a big spum. I have, accidentally. It's Kraven the Hunter. Yes've stepped in a big spum. I have, accidentally. It's Kraven the Hunter. Yes, great.

Finally. That's too late in the year. I think they should bring it up. August. I reckon they should bring it to February. Imagine seeing Deadpool 3 and then this. Yeah, the one-two punch. In fact, I'm probably going to delay watching Deadpool 3

so I can do both in the same day. I'm not saying that Deadpool- Kraven, then Deadpool 3. Sure. If Deadpool 3 is even still in cinemas then. But if not, don't worry about it. Yeah, yeah. I'm not saying that Deadpool... Craven then Deadpool 3. Sure. If Deadpool 3 is even still in cinemas then. But if not, don't worry about it. Yeah, yeah. I'm not saying Deadpool 3 is going to be amazing, but it will be like, you know, it'll at least be a

look at this, look at this, look at this. And Craven's like, what if you watched a movie from 2002? We don't even have a look at this. There's nothing to look at. Is it R-rated though? Maybe. I would love to be wrong. Imagine if it's flipped and like, this is the good one. Yeah.

Especially of this year. I like how you didn't say imagine if they were both really good. You couldn't comprehend the idea that they'd both be very good. They're going to be very good. Do you think that? What if the one we thought was going to be okay was bad and the one we thought was terrible was okay? You know, wildest dreams.

I mean, so much of this is like, I mean, you look at the list last year, you just don't know. That's true, yeah. September, Beetlejuice 2. Okay. Apparently Tim Burton's back for this one. I didn't know that. He's re-energized.

He's married to Monica Bellucci. That'll do it, I guess. And then we've got this one I am looking forward to, Transformers 1, which is an animated origin story of Optimus and Megatron. Chris Hemsworth's in it. Chris Hemsworth's in it. Brian Tyree.

Is he going to be playing weedy Optimus Prime? Oh, Orion Pax. Orion Pax. I would love that. And then Megatron's like, it's Brian Tyree Henry, and the story of him, depending on the version, I guess, he's a gladiator and he becomes a revolutionary leader, et cetera, and so forth.

You been reading more of that Transformers stuff that's been going on? No, but I should. Yeah, apparently it's very good. I read some of it. And the G.I. Joe stuff all folds in as well. I see. Boyd Rivals and, yeah, it's a new universe, man, and it's a new time. Then we've got Soar X1.

Okay. Why are you saying that this year? What do you care, man? I don't know. Are you busy? Are you busy? You got something else you need to do? No. Listen to me do this? Currently not, no. I blocked out this time, so I guess I have to

suffer through whatever this is. Are you not allowed to say 11 anymore? No. This is what it says. This is what I'm doing. I'm not Roman. I don't do it like that. You can say XI. What? It'm not Roman. I don't do it like that. But you'd say XI. What? It doesn't matter. I don't do that.

What do you think? They're really, they're churning these out, aren't they? Yeah. At what point are they going to just scrap every other Saw movie except for one and just be like, this is the continuity and he can live for as long as we want? Or do you think they're just going to keep making movies in this pocket where John Corbin is alive? Because that's the, I mean, that is the character that,

that is the character that is compelling, I think. Yes. Well, it's not that it's compelling. It's just that so many people dropped off after two or three or whatever it was. So nobody knows that. You're like, who's the guy again? Yeah, it's only the hardcore Saw fans that really know

all the subsequent stuff. So really we've just got the main guy so i think you have to you have to you have to because you you also can't do you you i mean you you can't they might you can't do multiverse shenanigans where it's like well in this universe he didn't die of a brain tumor and they get shot in the head or whatever so and whatever he did yeah yeah anyway i like the last one i think they're probably just i mean because the last one also was just it may as well be the present day. Yeah, exactly.

You know, so I think they can just, they're just going to fudge the, they're going to do it Spum style. They're just going to fudge the timeline a little bit and it'll be like, who's he after next? Is it the past? Maybe. We'll just only get vague looks at the funds. You liked the Chris Rock one though, didn't you?

The bad one that they made? No, I didn't like that one. The bad kind of semi-reboot that they made? No, I didn't like it, but also I couldn't tell you why I didn't like it. I've got no memory of why I didn't like it. I don't think you liked it because it was bad. I think that's why you didn't like it. Yeah, probably would have been the reason,

but the specifics are a mystery to me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Remember the last one, some of the traps are like you're on a blood seesaw, and then one of them was like you have to saw your leg off completely and then stick a needle in it, which will draw out bone marrow from your bone, and then you've got to put it on a little conveyor belt. Well, you had to think on his feet.

You know, he had to really improvise that one, you know. That's so complicated. That's two traps worth of things going on there. It should have been just chop your leg off and stick it on a meat weighing scale or something. Exactly. Or got it at the butcher's. Feed it into a whatever.

I don't know. Yeah, sure, sure. Yeah, good on him. Anyway, look forward to So x1 in september um october we've got joker for layer oh now here's a question i mean the current trend is imagine if this is the good one make a musical i can't imagine there's only going to be one good one uh the current trend is obviously make a musical but don't tell anyone in previews that it is the musical. And this is the ultimate example of this. Yeah.

Because we know it's been a musical for a while but what are they going to put in the trailers? Well Wonka the new Mean Girls is a musical. Yes. I've not seen anybody talk about Mean Girls yet. I think it did okay. And Tina Fey's still in it and whatever. That's true. And Tim Meadows who I think is delighted. There you go. He's an absolute delight. Is it a sequel or a remake?

Jon Hamm is in it. Jon Hamm's in it? Yeah that's a good, I don't know if it's a remake. It must be a remake. Because it's based on the musical, right? It must be a remake unless there's a line in the movie where, like, some of the characters who are in the first one are like, this is playing out exactly as it is. Yeah.

And this woman has the same name as the woman from the previous movie. Great question. It's a remake. It's got to be a remake. It's a new movie based on the original 2004 film it's not a direct remake according to lauren michael but i mean i mean it's not a direct remake but it's a it's an adaptation of the musical yeah direct remake would imply that it's like that time gus van sant made psycho sure but again exactly the same for

some reason wasn't the reason because he wanted it in color that's the reason for some reason. Wasn't the reason... Because he wanted it in colour? That's the reason. They're like, we could colourise it for you. No, no, I want to spend millions of dollars. Wasn't the idea that it was an experiment in seeing how modern audiences reacted to essentially the same thing or something? Yeah, you could do that or just re-release the movie Psycho. Nah, I wouldn't do that. Yeah, you're right.

Good point. Anyway, they didn't like it. They fucking hated it. So I guess there's your answer. That is the answer. Then we've got in October, Wolfman. Lee Whannell is making the Wolfman movie. Oh, yeah.

He did Invisible Man. So he's now in charge of the Dark Universe. Love it. And he appears to be doing a good job. Has there been something between Invisible Man and this? No, there was supposed to be Bride of Dracula's Wife and whatever. Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah. And Frankenstein's girlfriend. There was Dracula on aide of Dracula's Wife and whatever. Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah. And Frankenstein's girlfriend.

There was Dracula on a boat, but that's unrelated and whatever. There's been a few Draculas since, but. There's always a Dracula. And there's yet to be another creature from the Black Lagoon. Oh, where is he? I'm excited for that. They're just going to call it Lagoon. Lagoon.

Or Creature. Lagoon Boy. November. Yes. Getting close. Venom 3, we're back with Spam. It's going to cap off the Venom trilogy. What slimy goo man is he going to fight in this one?

Probably Riot. Probably Riot. Or Phage. Or Fudge. Fudge. He's going to fight Fudge. I don't know what the cast of this is. I've got no idea.

But they make money. Well, you're a brown alien. You're like a fudge. I'll be Fudge. If you recall correctly as well in the last Spider-Man movie, the Google cast says that fucking Andrew Garfield's in it. Yeah, but Google results, they've been destroyed. Yes, they really have.

Try on DuckDuckGo. Try the cast list on DuckDuckGo, James. It says Juno Temple's in it and Chiwetel Ejiofor in undisclosed roles. Oh, probably Fudge and Phage. Probably. Temple's role is saidclosed roles. Oh. Probably Fudge and Phage. Probably. Temple's role is said to be a lead character. So Fudge or Phage. Fudge or Phage.

So there you go. Then we've got, oh, you're going to love this. I don't think I am. Red One, which is the rock Christmas movie. Yeah, okay, sure. Straight to Netflix. Straight to Netflix, nice. It's the last gasp of movies that Rock made before.

Now he's serious. Yeah, that's right. I'm serious now. I'm serious. A, that's right. I'm serious now. I'm serious. A24. I'm a serious thing. Then we've got Gladiator 2. Fine.

Ridley Scott, like the cast. That's all good. Then we've got Wicked Part 1. Based on the musical. Didn't they already do a Wicked movie? They made a Wicked musical. I love that. But no, they haven't made a Wicked movie.

Huh. Do you think they're going to hide that it's a musical? musical yes no i don't know because well that's the thing as well because people know wickets are musical i was gonna say because it's interesting my thought in you know speaking about mean girls was i know that they did the mean girls musical and it was very very popular and that's why they made they're making a movie yeah but i guess the musical audience is so much smaller than the movie audience because you'd think – I mean, did you know Mean Girls was a musical?

Because I didn't. I did, yeah. Oh, wow. That's been nice. But my feeling is, well, if there's a huge audience for musicals in live musicals, surely that would translate to the big screen, but I guess it doesn't. I think also sometimes it's just different audiences

appealing to different kinds of people. Yeah, but Wicked's been going for years, right? Yeah. Okay. Anyway, do you think this is going to be Wicked? Yeah, I think it's going to be Wicked. All right. December.

The Lord of the Rings. Wait, so the red one isn't coming out in December? No. It's coming out in November. You've got to ramp up. You've got to ramp up. That's true. December, we've got The Lord of the Rings, The War of Rohirrim.

No, we don't. Yeah, it's an animated – it's an anime. I can't remember the director, but he's a famous anime director who's done good anime. It's got Miranda Otto who's from Lord of the Rings, but it's set like 250 years before Lord of the Rings. Okay. And it's about Helm Hammer Man and it's got Brian Cox in it.

And I don't know anything about it. Nobody really knows anything about it, but I'm really looking forward to it. Okay, so Miranda Otto and Brian Cox are doing all the voices. Yes, that's right. Yeah, yeah. Because she's only narrating. She's like, I remember a time. Oh, there was an ancient story of a dude.

Oh, g'day, boys. G'day, boys. What are you doing here? Lord of the Rings. Yeah. Not yet. 250 years before, I think you'll find. Who's up, boys?

Pump the brakes on that Lord of the Rings, mate. You can do Lord of the Rings in a couple of hundred years, all right? Ease up. Ease up and settle down. We'll go to the pub. We'll have a couple of bevs. We might do a war with him on the way. Can't guarantee anything.

This is Japanese also, anime. Yeah. Familiar with that? It's popular. Not here. Very popular in Japan, though. Mate, you're going to love it. You're going to love it.

It's like cartoons, let me finish, but for adults. You're going to love it. Karate Kid. Oh, yeah. Clean reboot, sort of. It's bringing together Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio. It's combining the Karate Kid universe. And maybe Will Smith's son?

Yeah, I guess. And maybe Hilary Duff? Maybe. Not Hilary Duff. Maybe Hilary Duff. Maybe Hilary Duff. Maybe Hayley Duff. You're talking of Hilary Swank.

I am. It's true. Yeah. Mufasa, The Lion King, which is The Lion King live action, but they're not a live action. I know. Breakworld, it's about how to get his scar, et cetera. I hate it awful.

Love it. But at least it's different. It's a different story so just the lion king twice okay sure like we've done the lion king and it's even more realistic yep get a slightly more upsetting good day boys real enough for you yeah like what you see i thought you wouldn't I thought you wouldn't. G'day, boys. I'm Scar. Don't have a scar yet. So here we go.

Are we going to acknowledge that it's just us doing a poor impression of Broden Kelly? Are we going to acknowledge that? It's different. It's a different voice. Okay. Yeah. I said poor impression also. Yeah.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3. I didn't see two. Cool. I don't mind it. Did James Marsden's back? Yeah, probably. I think Jim Carrey's not. Okay.

This is one I think they kept filming during the strikes because you don't film anything. You know what I mean? Right. Like you film environments for a lot of it. Oh, it's just like second unit filming of nothing and then they put everything in later. Okay, sure. Now, which Sonic side character is being introduced in this? The one with the guns.

The one with the guns. Shadow. Shadow the Hedgehog. Knuckles in the last one. Okay, right. Great, love that. Love that for them. Love that for fans of Sonic the Hedgehog.

Me too. And then to wrap things up for the year, the Nosferatu movie. Oh, yeah, Robert Eggers. It's got Willem Dafoe, I want to say. And Nicholas Holt again doing another Dracula-style movie. Another vampire movie. I'm Dracula again, boys. Hang on, let me check.

I think Lily Rose, Taylor is in it, whatever her name is. Lily Rose Death? Yeah, that one. No, maybe a different one. No, she is in it. Okay. Yeah, she's Alan Husser. Okay.

And Nicholas Holt is Thomas. Is he Redfield again? No, he's Thomas. Okay, she is in it. Okay. Yeah, she's Alan Husser. Okay. And Nicholas Holt is Thomas. Is he Redfield again? No, he's Thomas. Okay, so Bill Sarsgaard is Count Orlok, so he's doing another creepy ghoul. Sure. Willem Dafoe is Professor Albin something. Okay.

Yeah, that's good stuff. The real feratu heads out there are yelling at their podcatcher being like, that's not how you say any of those. Go back to a book, dumbass. That's right. That's what I say to that. Don't let the door hit your nosferatu on the way out. Nice, we got you.

We got you, idiots. These stupid idiots. TV shows. Some of these are dated, some are not. I'm just going to rattle them off. Okay. Hot quick TV shows. All right, here we go. Avatar. Wait, what are dated, some are not. I'm just going to rattle them off. Okay. Hot quick TV shows. All right, here we go.

Avatar. Wait, what? The Last Airbender. Oh, yeah, right. Sure. Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Oh, yeah. That's happening.

I got a push notification just earlier. Oh, I saw that. February. February. Curb Your Enthusiasm returns for its apparent final season. I was going to say Mr. and Mrs. Smith actually looks pretty good. Yeah, it does actually. They've taken a different tack, which is that they know.

It's going to be better than the movie? Probably. Yeah. They know they're a couple and they're aware that they're both. In a movie. In a movie. That's right. What's going on?

How do we get out of this? The movie stops. Do we die? Do we go into it? Can we escape through the cinema? Oh, streaming. Oh, no. Who's this lovely young couple?

Are you trapped in a movie? Hello. I don't know. I'm just saying he doesn't own the concept of blokey voices. He does. He's perfected it. I'll grant you. But you can't make it exclusive to him.

Okay. That's what I'm saying. All right. All right. You tell him that next time you see him. Or I will. I will. Kirby, your enthusiasm's back.

Okay. Yep. You've been keeping up? No. Okay. What scrapes is he going to get into this time? The same, similar. Is it going to cover the fact that Cheryl Hines is married

to RFK Jr. in real life? And he's a weird lunatic? Mm-hmm. But he can do a lot of push-ups maybe? Mm-hmm. But he's normal? Very normal. He should have made a normal man list,

but I guess he's not in entertainment technically, is he? No. Though he's a very entertaining fellow. I don't think he's that entertaining. No, I don't think he is either, actually. Shogun. Oh, based on the James Clavel novel? Probably. Are they also going to remake Noble House, James? I don't know anything about

that. The famous miniseries Noble House with Pierce Brosnan. Oh, that one. No. Yeah, it's got Hiroyuki Sanada. It's got, like, I love this cast. They blew up that restaurant boat. Oh my god. There was a big fire on the restaurant boat in Noble House. No, I didn't see that. If there's anybody on earth who knows what I'm talking about

who listens to this podcast. Was it in the 80s? Email in. Yes, it was in the 80s. So this is basically for anybody who's, I don't know, if you want a layman's version of this. This is like Game of Thrones, Japan. Sure, yep.

But not dragons. No. So it's more of a historical epic. Yeah, boring. You want a boring show? But no, I'm looking forward to it. The Three-Body Problem, which is a book I'm currently reading. There you go.

It's a Chinese sci-fi one. It's like a trilogy. But this is also based on – no, sorry. It's the Game of Thrones guys. It is, yeah. And let's see. Weiss and Benioff. Let's have a look.

Yeah, so this is about a – it's an alien invasion, but they're getting there very slowly. I'm not up to that yet. Okay, right. In the book. Okay. So I don't know what's – What's been happening so far?

I don't know. A lot of names I don't know. Okay, great. Yeah. No, it's actually – I am enjoying it. Do you think you'll stop reading it when the show comes out? Yes. Great.

Fallout. Based on the video game? I've never really been a fan, but sure. Let's see. Okay. Fallout. Based on the video game. I've never really been a fan, but sure. Let's say. Okay, great. X-Men 97 probably. Great. Good.

The Penguin. Yeah. Matthew, whatever his name is, he's back, and Colin Farrell, et cetera. Agatha Darkhold Diaries maybe. Whatever it's going to be called. A couple more name changes before it comes out. Or part of the plan. Or part of the plan.

The Acolyte, which is next Star Wars. Yeah, sure. Which could be good, actually. Is that going to be about some sort of Jedi apprentice and they go bad but then they're good or something and then they're a Grey Jedi and they have a different coloured lightsaber? Technically, you can't be a Grey Jedi, Mason.

They made that very clear recently. Did they? I don't think he's a Grey Jedi. Who said that? The man in the big cowboy hat? Yeah, that's right. Did Mr Cowboy Hat Man make a decree? G'day, boys.

I'm just here to set you straight. The Acolyte. It's got Carrie-Anne Moss. Okay, I like Carrie-Anne Moss. Creature Commandos. First of the DCU, but for real this time this one counts. The other ones last year, the four that came out last year, they don't count, all right?

But animated. But animated. And Welcome to Derry, which is an It prequel series. Oh. Now, Mason. The Derry girls. You have to pick one thing which is an It prequel series. Oh. Now, Mason. The Derry girls. You have to pick one thing for the year to watch. Nothing.

What are you picking? Nothing. Silence. Pure silence. I can pick one thing. Well, I've already forgotten everything you've said. So. All right.

I'll give you some. Okay. Argyle. Madam Web. No. Dune 2. No. Yes.

Roadhouse. Ghostbusters. King Kong. Civil War. Oh, no. Dracula Ballerina. Dracula Ballerina. Rebel Moon. Part 2. Thehouse, Ghostbusters, King Kong, Civil War, Dracula Ballerina, Rebel Moon Part 2, The Scargiver. I reckon one of those first ones, maybe June 2. Clint Eastwood plays out his childhood fantasies. Not Clint Eastwood, the other guy.

Kevin Costner. Kevin Costner. The poor man's Clint Eastwood. That's right. Planet of the Apes, Garfield, Furiosa. I'm going to say, even though it's not'm Mickey 17 is the one I want to say. Well, it's not coming out. Apparently not.

So good luck, idiots. Yeah. All right, should we move it along? Yes. What are we doing? What are we reading? What are we going to read? What are we going to read?

Whoa. Yeah. Whoa. We had a roller coaster installed. Whoa. It's where all the budget went. That's right. I'm doing the thing.

I'm doing the thing. That's right. I'm doing a thing. This is the second of the show. We're talking about things we've been watching, reading or doing over the break. But not just over the break. Normally it's just the previous week. That's right.

We're off the break. We've had a big break. I'm only going to talk about one thing. Okay. Because, you know, I'm allowed to. Wow. What are you going to do? I'm going to talk about a number of things.

Okay, go. Well, I was going to talk about Echo, but we've covered that. It was pretty good. I had a free evening, so I'm like to talk about a number of things. Okay, go. Well, I was going to talk about Echo, but we've covered that. It was pretty good. I had a free evening, so I'm like, I could go to the movies and I could see anything. And? I could see the movie The Iron Claw, very well regarded. Oscar snubbed, obviously. Sure.

I could have seen Poor Things. I could have seen Anatomy of a Fool. I could have seen All of Us Strangers. I could have seen Ferraris. I could have seen The Holdover, Paul Giamatti, Oscar nominated. I saw The Beekeeper. How was it? I thought it was fun.

Great. So this was, it's David Ayer. He's out of Director's Jail. John Beekeeper. Yeah, John Beekeeper. So Jason Statham. Is he American? Yes.

What? But there's a line in it where somebody goes, I notice a hint of a British accent because his accent's all over the place. What did he say to that? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, mate. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.

But anyway, for people who don't know, he plays an ordinary beekeeper who lives on a little – he lives in a back warehouse. Oh, is this like a little indie film? Yeah, it's a little indie film. Yeah, it's like The Holdovers but the beekeeper. Oh, great. And he's a beekeeper and he lives in a little shack on a lady's property but then she gets scammed out of money by cyber crime hackers.

What? But then it turns out. But he's a simple beekeeper. No, it turns out he's a beekeeper, but he's also part of a beekeeping themed special forces team, or he was. And he's like, well, I'm going to kill everybody. Right.

And to be clear, everybody. He's going to kill everybody. Okay. And he does. Well, yeah. I will say justice is meted out somewhat. Disproportionately? Disproportionately.

Like some low-level guys are just absolutely torn to shreds and some, like, top-level guys are just like, he's like, get out of here kind of thing. There's really no rivalry. He's a lunatic. Yeah, he's a lunatic. But he's got to protect the hive, and by protect the hive I mean. The woman who's already dead?

Yes. Yeah. Great stuff. He's going to get everybody. to protect the hive, and by protect the hive I mean. The woman who's already dead? Yes. Yeah. Great stuff. He's going to get everybody. Well worth the price of admission? I thought it was fun. Okay. I think, you know, David Ayer has copped some stick in the last many years.

Because he made Orc Cop? Because he made Orc Cop and also Suicide Squad. And he's been banging on about that for years. Yeah. But I think this is pretty solid. It's preposterous. That's okay. It's John Wick-esque, right?

Yeah. Yeah, I think, look, and I think, again, the strength of it is Statham is really good at making martial arts look good on screen. There was some discussion this week, I think, about like really, really top quality martial artists versus and that doesn't necessarily translate to looking good on screen, but I think the action sequences in this are really very solid. Is it like a good 90 minutes?

Is that how they do these things? It went by pretty quickly, yeah. Okay, cool. We got Josh Hutchison is in it as some sort of gens. It's a little bit kids get off my lawn. Kids these days get off my lawn. What do you got a phone for, et cetera? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Why do you need a phone when you could have a hive full of bees? And a pie. A pie full of bees. Oh my god. Just have a pie full of bees. Have a pie full of bees cooling on the windowsill like back in the old days. But it's pretty good. And it's got Emmy Raver Lampman who is she's in the Umbrella Academy. Yeah, okay, yeah. She's the rumor in the Umbrella Academy.

I remember. She's good in that. I like that. Yeah, but again, it's pretty preposterous and it gets, it goes it escalates it's pretty preposterous and it escalates to a pretty preposterous ending. Cool. Do they ever go into a room and it's like a hexagonal kind of beekeeper? No. What?

What? Are you sure? I feel like we've maybe talked about this before, but he's really the only beekeeper in the beekeeper team who – Is a literal beekeeper? Yes, exactly. So the rest of them who is a literal beekeeper. Yes, exactly. So the rest of them are not beekeepers. No. There's not – I guess I wasn't really expecting this,

but there was no like flashback where like there's a mentor character and he's like, you know, the important – you know, we're going to teach you how to keep bees because it's important. It's a metaphor. The little bald Jason Statham. Yes, exactly. That's right. I'm going to make the best bees.

I'm going to keep all the bees. The only thing about protecting bees is you're going to everyone also there is a quite a funny scene this is not really a spoiler but there is a quite a funny scene where they do that thing where they they're like well we're gonna take care of him we're gonna hire this person they're the best and the best and he is like he's the whatever and then he just annihilates them oh cool okay one of those you know like uh remember in that transformers movie where they introduce all the new guys and then they just get annihilated? Is that what happened in that movie? Yeah, Nitro Zeus. I think you're thinking of also the MacGruber joke.

It might also be a MacGruber joke. Which was a good series recently. I watched a movie called Self Reliance, which was written, directed, and starring Jake Johnson. Also got Anna Kendrick in it. He's an everyday kind of schlub dude. Okay. And he's a super spy. No. And then a car pulls up one day. And he Anna Kendrick in it. He's an everyday kind of schlub dude. Okay. And he's a super spy.

No. And then a car pulls up one day. And he's a car racer. No. And the window rolls down. He's a window washer. No, and it's Andy Samberg. He's Andy Samberg?

He's literally playing Andy Samberg. He's playing himself and he gets in and he goes, come with me. Oh, this is like a- I'm in pain to take you somewhere. And he takes him to a- It's like a Ready or Not. Yeah. Takes him to a weird warehouse and the guy says, there's two weird Dutch dudes or whatever, and they're like,

if you can survive us sending various assassins after you for a month, you get a million dollars. They might not even get to you because this is a reality show. You're going to be filmed for this. It's for the dark web. Yeah, right. And he's like, sure, why not? But the twist is that if you're with somebody, they can't kill you.

Right. Because they can't endanger anybody else. So you have to like the strategies to get into a relationship or something like that. But the other thing is as well, because he's kind of a deadbeat, nobody believes him. Right. And nobody sees the things that are happening to him. Yeah, right. And it's like, is this really happening?

Anyway, I thought it was really fun and cool. That's great. And interesting. And Jake Johnson is a delight. That is sort of the original plot of The Running Man. Oh, okay. You know the movie is based on Stephen King writing as Richard Bachman? Yeah, yeah.

The original short story version of that is more like it's less of like a game show with colorful costumes and what have you. It's just a guy going around. And the original story, the contestants all have to film themselves. Oh, okay, right. And so they have to send the videotapes to the studio to make the show happen. It's hard work. It is hard work.

Yeah, okay, cool. Okay, that sounds fun. I did see the trailer for that. Yeah, you should watch it. It's good. What's it on? Can't remember. It's on something.

Okay, right. Oh, and here's two more things. Yep. So, show and tell time, James. Oh, no. This is on a lot of people's best of lists. Oh, yeah, you told me about this yesterday. Comic book style.

Because believe it or not, we actually sometimes hang out for real, but we don't record anything. That's exactly right. So it's written by Denise Camp and illustrated by Stipan Morian and lettering by Aditya Bidikar. It's called 20th Century Men. I got it from All Star Comics in Melbourne, Australia. It's Watchman-esque, is it not?

It is Watchmen-esque. So it's sort of about the Soviet invasion. It's Watchmen-esque in the sense that it's about the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in the 80s, except all the superpowers involved have an actual superpowered being. So it's – but it's – This looks awesome. It's a good – like the art is sort of really dynamic.

It's kind of like – It looks like early – Frank Miller? Frank Miller, yeah. Yeah. And it's sort of like it's really kind of – the art is sort of really free with kind of panel layouts and it's sort of like – but, yeah, it's sort of –

Yeah, I mean, look how different it is. Look at this guy here. Yeah, yeah. Look at him here. He's like – look at that. Yeah, yeah. But it's really solid. It's really, you know, it's.

This looks great. It's good. James, you can borrow it. I would love to borrow that actually. Maybe we'll talk about it on the Big Sandwich Classic. Cool. But yeah, it's sort of, yeah, sort of like Watchmen, it is about sort of real life events in a parallel universe

where there are super powered beings, but it's also, you know, about. It's also our world, et cetera. Exactly. But it was a good, it's a was a good solid read, I think. Cool, all right. And the second thing I read is I caught up on the Marvel Ultimate Universe. Oh, yeah. You wanted to talk about this.

Well, I wanted to talk about this. I believe you even said at length. Well, for a little bit. At length, everyone. We do have unlimited time. And resources. Yeah, that's true. So for people who don't know, there is a new Ultimate Spider-Man book.

Yes. Written by Jonathan Hickman. Ooh. Who's done a bunch of sort of. Comics. He's done a bunch of comics, certainly. But he's done sort of like a lot of big cosmic style epics. He did Avengers.

He did X-Men. Yeah. He's one of these. He's a guy you bring in for a big epic now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? But I saw a tweet from at Bug bug trio on twitter who said this is from a couple of weeks ago uh who said kevin feige this will save your career and it's a picture of

miles teller as reed richards in the horrible fantastic four movie that was bad yes and then a picture of the maker who is the the evil version of reed richards in the ultimate universe it's always up to bad yeah and so the very he has a big long alien head yeah yeah so so there's been a few jonathan hickman written ultimate universe comic books and ultimate spider-man is sort of the culmination of that it's a new version of the old ultimate universe for people who don't remember yeah uh in the 2000s there were two marvel comic book universes, two main ones. There was the original one which started in the 60s and there was a new version called the Ultimate Universe which was sort of like what if the Marvel Universe started

in the modern day and it didn't have decades of history and all that sort of stuff and like, you know, here's some fresh origins and what would these characters be like in the modern era? What if Wolverine but whatever? What if Wolverine but he was tall Wolverine? What if Captain America was the president? Yes, exactly.

What if Spider-Man but Miles Morales? when they went to make the mcu they took elements from the old universe and the new universe but eventually the ultimate universe sort of collapsed under its own weight yeah um but it's it's back now and the premise of this is essentially that the maker who is the evil version of uh reed richards. Fantastic from this universe, has gone back into the past of this universe with a time machine and essentially has prevented a bunch of events happening that caused all the various heroes to have their origins. Oh, okay, yeah. Like he literally takes the radioactive spider from Peter Parker's arm

before it bites him and turns him into Spider-Man. So this version of Peter Parker, it's the present day, and he's a married dad. He's got a couple of ginger kids, and he works at the Daily Bugle with his Uncle Ben. They're dealing with the fallout of a big kind of event that's happened in a previous Ultimate Universe comic book. Yeah.

But events conspire, and he's given the option of like, do you want to become Spider-Man? Because you never had the chance. It was robbed of you and here it is. Do you want to do it? And what's going to happen? I don't think it's good. And he says no.

He says no. I'd rather not. I've got these kids. I've got a job. Everything's fine. Who are his kids? Are they new? They are new.

It's not May Parker and a different Parker. He's got different kids depending on the universe. Yeah, that's true. It's good. I would recommend if people want to read it, there was a series called, it was a four-issue series, I think, called Ultimate Invasion. I want to read this.

And there was a comic book called Ultimate Universe. They've all come out in the last year or so. Read those and then you read Ultimate Spider-Man. It's good. Ultimate Universe. It's a little bit like, and I know you've read this, Mark Miller's Wanted. Yeah.

Oh, that's the story of that. Yeah, the maker has sort of created a world in which he rules from the shadows because there's no heroes to stop him. Yes. And it's like, and a team is like, we're going to fix this. We're actually not. A team sort of, you know, a bunch of significant people learn that this has happened and they're like, we're going to restart.

We can't restart the universe, but we're going to start from here. Start from here, yeah. And we're going to. I like that idea a lot. Yeah, it's good. All right, should we move it along? Yeah. To letters?

Yeah, we can do letters. I bet you've had this whole time we've been away. We can do letters. You've got the letters theme ready for any moment. We can do letters. We can do that. We can do it. We can do it right now.

The classic one was letters. Good levelling. Thank you. I love you. was letters. Good levelling. Thank you. I love you, some letters. They're only a take away. I know they're here right now. We're going to do letters. Whoa!

If you want to do letters, guess what? We can do letters. We're going to do them. If you do want to reach the show, you can hashtag Weekly Planet Pod on a dying Twitter platform or weeklyplanetpod at gmail.com. I think that it's going from strength to strength. Yeah, you're probably right.

That's right. Certainly a lot of things going on. Yeah. Here's an email from Koi. Yes. Hey, mates, big hello from Kansas. I've been listening to YouTube for years now. I wanted to say thank you.

You guys have helped me smile through some tough times. I listen to you almost every day or at least enough that my girlfriend knows you too as the Australians. Like that. That's us. I have a question for both of you. Recently I started watching an anime called ZOM 100. Oh.

The premise of the show is that the main character has a bucket list of things he wants to do before he turns into a zombie. So my question for you both is, if you're in a zombie apocalypse, what's one thing you'd want to do before you turned into a zombie? One thing I'd want to do? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Would it be a cool, do I have to do like a cool thing or can I do like a normal thing? No, you have to do a bad thing. You can do a cool thing. What do you want to do? No, yeah, yeah, yeah. Would it be a cool, do I have to do like a cool thing

or can I do like a normal thing? No, you have to do a bad thing. You can do a cool thing. What do you want to do? No, I meant like a cool thing for me. Like I just want to spend time with the people that I like, Mason, with my family.

Well, you could do that, but everybody has a gun. And the instant you turn, they're like, they all turn on you and they're like, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. I guess I could kill somebody

that I don't like. Yeah, that's great. I could do that. Yeah, that's great and positive and I like that. Yeah, what would you do? Ice cream. And I'd spend time with my family. Ice cream. Oh, yeah, I'd probably get an ice that I don't like. So I'd probably do that. Yeah, that's great and positive and I like that. Yeah, what would you do? Ice cream. And I'd spend time with my family.

Ice cream. Oh, yeah, I'd probably get an ice cream on the way back. Kill a guy and then get a prize. Yeah, why not treat yourself? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's – I reckon – I'm an insane guy. Yeah.

I just have to think. Who could I kill? I guess what I would probably do – We could kill Broden and then we could use the impression would be else that's true yeah that is very true um i reckon i probably do some stuff i mean i guess how it depends on how much infrastructure is left in the world yeah but i would say i would do some stuff that i wouldn't do in real life because i'm pretty confident i'd die doing it like i would go skydiving for example okay what's the worst that happens i go splat i'll

be fine for a while you know no? No, you'd splat. Yeah, but I'm going to do that anyway. Yeah, I guess that's a good point. All my family are going to shoot me. Yeah, and that's fun. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'd probably do that. Would you do tandem or solo?

I would probably do, I mean, tandem would be funny, especially if I turned into a zombie midway down and I'd start biting them. And they would land as a zombie. That would be funny. I mean, they would also be on your back, so you'd have to be able to be biting away. Yeah.

But I reckon if I've turned full zombie, I could twist my entire head around. That's true. That's good thinking. Thank you. You've got to think on your feet in a zombie apocalypse. Or in this case, in the air. Yeah, that's true. Very good.

Yeah. Or try out some different sandwiches. Now, am I like, oh, I'm not feeling too good before this happens, or am I like fine? I reckon you're mostly fine. I'm going to say we're going mostly fine. Yeah, cool. This is a universe where turning into a zombie, it's mostly fine. Yeah.

I crashed my car into a storefront. Great. Yeah, good. Is it a store I don't like? No. Wouldn't it be cool? Yeah, I think it would be cool, yeah. Like a JB Hi-Fi.

Yeah, you see like the footage like inside a store, it's a car crash. Yeah, and everybody's like, whoa. Yeah, you see like the footage like inside a store as a car crash. Yeah. And everybody's like, whoa. Yeah, it always looks real cool. When nobody dies, but in this case, somebody might die when I do it. Yeah, nice. Great.

This one's from Bad Cat who says, hashtag, where have you planned a pod? So Matt, Pat, and Tom Scott have both decided to leave YouTube and for reasons I'm sure you are feeling too. Yeah, sometimes. I know it's coming sooner or later and I already miss you. Keep the podcast though. Yeah, no plans. it's coming sooner or later and I already miss you Keep the podcast though We don't Yeah, no plans

No immediate plans to leave anything because this is a job It is, it's true You've got to have one At the risk of sounding like I'm doing this

because I don't want to I have to do this Okay I don't have to I could do something else You could do something else You could buy a real job, mate Yeah, no

You could work in the mines I don't want to do that I want to do this Okay If I have one more day I'll do job yeah no i don't work in the mines i don't want to do that you get i want to do this okay yeah if i have one more day i'll do this right you wouldn't work in the mines no interesting so no i could see why i mean those guys i mean that pad's been doing it for i don't know i don't know and at a very high he does it at a different level than what we do as well they do like big experiences and it's like i'm gonna get in a zero g thing or whatever and it's like well I'm going to get into a zero G thing or whatever. And it's like, well, we're always in a zero G thing.

Exactly. We're used to it. It's not interesting. Boring. God. Why would anyone even want to see this? Yeah. Yeah.

And like obviously watching movies and then being like, what do you think of this movie? It's different. It is different. It hits different. This room has slightly more air than this other room or whatever he does. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's he doing?

I don't know. G'day, boys. We're in a room with slightly different air than the other room. That's great. I'm Tom Scott. Take a breath. Notice anything different? Yeah, that's right.

Different air in this room. Same guy, I'm assuming? Yep, same guy. Indiana Jones. That's exactly right. This room full of different air and poison darts You're welcome Oh, he set it up, didn't he?

Yeah, yeah You got another one? This is from Jack Jack Hey there, James and Mace I absolutely love the podcast and Caravan of Garbage I'm unfortunately submitting myself to Robert Zemeckis' CGI nightmare of Beowulf And was wondering if you two would consider doing a series on this strange genre

Yeah It's from Lacey It says Jack and then it says Sending all my best from Lacey Okay, I don't know what to make of that and was wondering if you two would consider doing a series on this strange genre. Yeah. It's from Lacey. It says Jack and then it says sending all my best from Lacey. Okay, I don't know what to make of that. I don't know. But also what's interesting about that, I think, is as a genre it's just Robert Zemeckis.

Yes. Like it's just Polar Express. So you're saying we do Back to the Future and then we do Back to the Future 2 and 3 and then we do all his Polar Express movies. Well, that's what I'm saying. Didn't he do like three or four just freaky cgi motion there was a polar express there was a christmas carol one yeah did you do mars needs moms maybe and he did that one recently malcolm welcome to marwin or something oh yeah oh that's right and it was like steve carell i'm a sad

soldier no but he's not really he had a trauma and he's yeah i'm a sad and he did forest gun this dude did fucking Forrest Gump. Did he do Mars Needs Moms? I don't know. Yeah, I don't know either. Yeah, it's weird because he just got caught in that idea of doing like these kind of movies. No, he did Pinocchio.

You saw that, didn't you? What was that like? It was bad and I hated it and you tricked me into doing it. I didn't trick you. This is my year, James. I'm going to trick you into seeing a movie. It was unintentional. So yeah, we'd have to do

Paul Huxley's Baywolf for Christmas Carol. Yeah, he didn't do Mars Needs Moms. And he's got a movie coming out this year called Here. It says if you want

to watch this though, you have to make sure you've seen Pinocchio 2022. Have you seen it? I've seen it. I didn't like it and you tricked me into doing it.

So the movie that's out this year stars Tom Hanks and Robin Wright, who he's worked with before. The story covers the events of a single room and its inhabitants spanning from the past well into the future. Wow. Okay.

Does it have different air, this room? It doesn't say anything about that, boys. Wow. We've got a tweet here from Ricky Reacts who says, Ricky says, so the new After Midnight Show basically did your entire Letterboxd review bit, like even the part that Mace hates the most. So, yeah, people might have seen this, as Ricky pointed out.

People sent it to us. We have videos where we guess the review or Mason has to guess the review from the terrible review from Letterboxd, and the show did this. Also, people know this, we took this idea from buzzfeed like i didn't know i was innocent in this in this blatant whoever owns buzzfeed please don't sue mason specifically who made me do it it's a big conglomerate i know who knows it's an ai owns it at this point um so look we don't own this um and it's yeah i guess it's they could have seen it and then decided to borrow but it's different in terms of like they throw it to a comedian

with a quote and they pick a silly answer. Like where our version is like it's more of a psychological test of will. That's exactly right. Yeah. So, no, I saw it and I'm not too fussed by it. Are you? No. Yeah.

Should I be? Yeah. Great. Should be mad. Here's one more, Emil, and I'll leave the name for the end. All right. Hi, all. Felt I need to write in and warn you about how dangerous it is to listen to the Weekly

Planet whilst exercising. Oh, here we bloody go. Not a problem for me. Blaming me again for this. Tonight was the first time back in the gym since Christmas and festive flu. I almost dropped the barbell on top of myself while laughing uncontrollably at the Best Of podcast. I thought I was prepared for the Best best of having heard all of it before.

Clearly not. The gym session had to stop for me to listen and laugh. Thank you for always improving my mood. You never cease to make my week better. That's from William B. Nuggets. Nice. Yeah. Great name.

Thank you, William B. Nuggets. Glad you're alive, William B. Nuggets. Yeah, that's right. What kind of exercise? G'day, boys. It's me, William B. Nuggets, just having a good time here at the gym. Oh, no. Just going to lift some big heavy weights and put my bloody ear pods in

and listen to the Weekly Planet. Ear pods. Know what they are? Air pods. Well, that's what he says. William. Yeah. I blaze my own path.

It's me, William Bean Nuggets. I'll call them ear pods if I want. That's what we like about you, William. Thanks. Thanks, boys. This is me. Thanks, boys. Thanks, boys. That's a fucking guy. The room's

probably filled with traps. Yeah. This is from Mandaman. Oh, yes. It was always very kind. She says, Hello again, mates, and happy 2024. Yes. Happy 2024. You don't want to say it back? Oh, thanks. Wow. So disingenuous.

Yeah. I know he gets these thanks every episode, but I just want to take my chance to formally praise the great Rob. You're welcome. No, the great Rob Collins. He's truly the best of us, always kind and helpful and genuinely a wonderful stand-up human from Amanda. Yeah, he is. He's terrific. Oh, I didn't finish my thought about the Kevin Feige thing.

Oh, yeah. We talked about the ultimate universe what happened well i was gonna say that the thing about it is that if if a lot of the future marvel projects seem to be like just recombining all the old stuff and we're getting the the the fox uh and all this other stuff and we're getting cameos from all the old stuff uh i think that actually is a great idea to get the Miles Teller Mr. Fantastic and be like he's from a universe that sucks like the makers goal is to create a more perfect universe because in the previous Ultimate Universe like all his family died and you know all the universe was

destroyed and he had all this trauma and all this sort of stuff. So you, and we, you know, Marvel's like, what do we do? What do we get rid of? We need to get rid of Kang. Yeah. What are we going to do with Kang now? And I guess the idea would be you, what I think you would have to do

is you'd have to do the new Fantastic Four movie and you make it like full of fun and family and life. And it's just a nice time. And then you like post-credits you have this version of Reed Richards who was in a universe that's grey and sad and like it was over before it started. Hello, boys. You'll never guess where I've been. That's exactly right. Went into the Phantom Zone or whatever it it started. Hello, boys. You'll never guess where I've been. That's exactly right.

Went into the Phantom Zone or whatever it's called. Well, exactly. And that's the ultimate universe version of the Fantastic Four. Yes, it is. Because they didn't go into space. They went into this weird alternate dimension full of green goop or whatever. Yeah. And it's the universe where like before they were even a team,

Ben Grimm had killed all these people. Like it's in his military file or whatever. So just have this universe just go, okay, well it's, and this version of Reed Richards also hates Kang. Like they have a preexisting rivalry. So you just have a version where he sees this, you know, and you could just go, well, this universe is dead on arrival. Just say like the radiation killed everybody except him.

Yeah. Like then, and he looks at this version of the Fantastic Four and they all love each other and everything's great and what a colourful universe. And he's in this sad universe where he's a 25-year-old high school student or whatever it is. And he could just be like, this is the universe I want and I'm going to take it kind of thing.

And I think that would be cool. I love that idea. Yeah. But again, what you have to do there is you have to knock out the Fantastic Four straight away. And I don't mean in a bad way. you just have to be like we love these yeah you just have to be like here's the fantastic four's origin they went into space they got powers they're back two seconds then they have an adventure there's no time to be like and at the end

they finally put on the uniforms and they go here what's what's our names i don't know we're pretty fantastic though aren't we credits right you just have to have – they're fantastic. You can even just go – the thing that I think I've wanted to have for a while, just say they've been in space for ten years. Yeah, yeah. They've been having adventures and it's great. Maybe Reed and Sue already have kids and they're married. Yep.

We've seen it. Well, they're older in this as well. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we've seen it in the previous movie. So just be like they have kids and they have all this sort of stuff and what a great unit. Yeah, and I think also for that you really have to commit to it long term, which the MCU is relatively good at, I guess.

But just be like, no, we do have a plan for this. We're going to do this version. We're going to establish it, and then we're going to introduce the worst guy in the world. And also people would love that because it's a guy they've seen before. It wasn't a bad thing, but it was the guy they've seen before. Did our boys recognize anybody, me specifically? That's right. It's a guy they've seen before. It wasn't a bad thing, but it was the guy they've seen before. Get our boys to recognise anybody, me specifically. That's right.

It's me, the evil Reed Richards. Pretty good. But not good. No, but evil. I'm evil though, to be clear. To be clear. To be clear. You're the good one.

And you give him the big elongated head. Give him the big head. Oh, my God. Yes, please. That is the show for real. You introduce him in silhouettes so people are like, is he Mac tonight? Is this banana coming through a portal?

That is the whole show. What a bloody ripper. What a bloody ripper of a first episode. Long enough for you? Dudes. Dudes. Folks, everybody. Whoever.

Yeah, good for you. Yeah, good for you. Must be nice to listen to such a long podcast. That's right. Good for you. Think of the people recording it. Think of how hard long podcast. That's right. Good for you. Think of the people recording it. Think of how hard they work. That's right.
