From the world of Sonic the Hedgehog, a new hero arrives.
I am ready.
Is there anyone stronger?
No.
Tougher?
No.
Funnier?
I do not make jokes, I make warriors.
Knuckles now streaming only on Paramount+.
Yes!
Welcome back everybody to another episode of The Weekly Planet where we talk movies and
comics and TV shows.
My name is James, also known as MrSunday, and with me as always is my co-host Nick Mason.
Thank you. It's great to be here. I noticed you started out with a little accent.
Yeah. And then you dipped out of it. Thank you.
I would say, I would say, should we take another take at that? But you won't have it. No.
You're a real diva. Yeah, that's true. And this is our tenth take. Let's be real.
That's exactly right. Yeah. Oh my God. We're talking big divas this week, aren't we, Mason?
That's exactly right.
We're getting very catty.
We will be.
We've got some big news of the week in terms of some stuff that the rockers may or may
not be doing.
Or we could excuse their behaviour.
Interesting. Maybe we can decide that.
Okay.
Because what we are going to do, we're going to be talking about that whole situation about
what the rock's been up to.
The standards that he's bringing to the set, oh my god, scandalous. And then I've got a
list of other divas in show business that we can be like, is this appropriate?
That's right. We're approaching some real gutter journalism here, folks. We're loving
it.
It's about time. What are we, 400 and something episodes in?
Yeah, at least.
Perfect time.
At least 200 episodes in.
At least 200. There are time codes below if you do want to skip to anything in particular, but we've
got the news leading up.
We've got Chris Hemsworth talking about his failure as Thor.
Well this is a very catty episode.
This is our most catty episode yet.
A certain actor returning for the Tron franchise.
Who is it?
Ooh a certain actor.
Ooh.
Yep.
One big company buys another big company.
I love that.
Yeah it's always good.
I love that for them.
I know. Must be nice.
A trailer for Mufasa, Lion King, but in the snow.
Okay, sure.
Oh, we've got some AI filmmaking stuff that's in relation to the Hellboy reboot.
Some confusion there.
Yeah, which I do want to get into.
And then those other things we were talking about.
All right, let me just take a sip.
Okay.
Very loud and dramatic. Thank you.
Absolute deeper behavior, I think.
Who can I yell at about this Coke,
which I bought for myself and I'm drinking?
I guess I can yell in the mirror.
You're an idiot.
Who do you think you are?
All right.
Is it caffeine free, sugar free?
Nah, man.
It's my first for the day.
So I can have one.
Okay, right.
Don't worry about it. Yeah, it's 5.30 in the afternoon. Don't worry about it. God, shut up. Shut up, man. It's my first for the day so I can have one. Okay, right. Don't worry about it. Yeah, it's 5.30 in the afternoon. Don't worry about it.
God, shut up. Shut up, Mason. Vanity Fair something.
Go on.
It's fine. Vanity Fair.
Sounds gossipy. Let's do it.
So Chris Hemsworth, he's been doing the Furiosa tour.
That's right.
Going around being like, this is how I make movies, etc.
There's been some, there was a Sydney premiere and it was George Miller and
Any Taylor joy and Chris Hemsworth and then some other guy. Yeah, see the other guy. No, okay
I didn't like a witch. Oh really? Yeah, was he the guy who plays Scrotus?
And he also played one of the war boys in the previous. Oh, it might have been I mean that because I know
One of the main war boys who's not
What's his name?
I was live on my my assumption was that he was a producer.
Oh, maybe he is then.
I don't know. I don't know anything.
So he was talking about the role of Thor and how it evolved over the years.
Initially, he felt like a bodyguard just kind of standing around the Avengers
while they all bickered and quipped and etc.
Sure. He got some bickering and some quivering.
I agree. And then it developed, you know.
But I guess if you're on stage, if you're on set, you might, you know,
it's probably a grass is always greener thing where you're like, I like I got a good line.
You're watching Captain America, yellow Tony Stark, you know,
and you're standing there being like Point Break or whatever.
You didn't even get to say Point Break.
Yeah. Somebody says it to you.
You should have been like, you don't get it.
Yeah, you should have been like, I would like that line.
Hey, I'm Point Break.
You could have said, look at me.
So but then he said, you know, with Thor three, Ragnarok, you know, the character was reinvented.
It's a bit lighthearted. It's a good movie. People all agree. But when it came to the
sequel to that Thor Love and Thunder, he said he still can't forgive himself. He said, I
got caught up in the improv and the wackiness and I became a parody of myself. I didn't stick the landing. Oh, yeah. Cause I know a lot of those take away TD
movies and this is true of the Thor movies. There was a lot of improv on set and just
kind of letting the cameras roll and just seeing what happens. Does Russell Crowe want
to be Greek, Greek Australian? Yeah. You can let him do that. And that's totally okay.
And he also thinks that he owes audiences another Thor after what felt like a whiff
with Thor, Love and Thunder.
A whiff?
Very minor.
He whiffed it is what he's saying.
I think he still did well.
It still made like $700 million.
So you know, financially, sure.
I think we are going to get another Thor, almost certainly.
You think so?
Yeah.
And it will probably be more like He-Man, Heavy Metal, Conan the Barbarian.
Dark and dank.
Yeah, exactly.
They probably have a big fur coat.
Like from the 70s?
Yeah, like from the 70s, Mason.
Like it'll be less these ones and...
Absolutely.
Yeah, it'll be more...
Back to basics.
It'll be more the Northman than it will be...
The Thorthman.
The Thorthman, exactly.
Yeah.
Also, I wouldn't say this is entirely his fault.
No.
I mean, some of it is. The acting. Yeah. That's I wouldn't say this is entirely his fault. No. I know he, I mean, some of it is.
The acting.
Yeah.
That's definitely his fault.
Not the acting was bad.
Yeah.
But the improv.
Yeah.
Should've reined it in.
I wouldn't even say the improv was bad.
I think it's just, you know when you see a movie and it's just like you've left too much
improv kind of in this and it's kind of derailed.
Ghostbusters, which he was also in.
Oh yeah.
I liked him in that Ghostbusters movie though. He's one of the best. Well, it's theailed Ghostbusters, which he was also in. Oh, yeah. I liked him in that Ghostbusters movie though
He's the one of the best. Well, it's the best Ghostbusters movie. So it would make sense that he would be a strong
Element of that. So yeah, there you go. We'll get another Thor movie
They'll probably get who'd be who could direct that
Sam's worth there you go done. Yeah, nice. We've solved that he's such a you know, if he's taking responsibility take some real responsibility
direct a movie you're in. That's right.
God, imagine being that buff and being the lead and directing.
I'm sure somebody did that very recently.
Who? Dev Patel?
Yes. Not as buff though.
No, that's true. Kind of easy.
It seems like it would have been easy. And he got injured a bunch of times.
Yeah, which is easy to do.
Anybody can do that.
That's right.
You just walk up to a really, really huge dude and you're like, can I punch you in a
weird way?
Can I punch you but solely with my pinky finger?
Can I punch you with the wrist part of my fist?
This is by the film comment podcast Jeff Bridges went on.
What's it called?
The film comments podcast.
Comments podcast.
We're crediting correctly here Mason, before we do.
They spoke to Jeff Bridges and he said, yeah, I'm returning as Kevin Tron in Tron Aries.
Interesting.
Famous character.
Started in the 80s, continued in Tron Legacy, turned into a cloud of information and shot
into a laser beam or something.
That's exactly how it is.
And now he's back in the new one, which makes sense.
It's got a big black bucket on his head.
Yeah, he does, doesn't it?
Yeah. So that wasn't from a previous one, was it?
That was a new Jeff Bridges.
That looks like a new.
Do you think we're going to bring back a new D.A. Jeff Bridges?
Are they going to take another run at it?
Maybe. It's time.
In that interview, I think he said something along the lines
of he didn't like how he looked in that movie, like he looked too weird.
I didn't. We've talked about this and so have others. I think it works.
Probably the movie ComCom commentary podcast or whatever.
Why are you so jealous? Someone's got another podcast, just jealous.
Yeah.
We'll eventually destroy them.
Because they've got a better name.
Yeah, they do actually.
I wish we were called the film ComCom commentary podcast.
Yeah, whose fault is this? You, you named this podcast.
Yeah, I did name this podcast.
You're the Chris Hemsworth of this podcast.
I didn't think about what we were doing, you know?
You didn't think anybody would hear it?
I didn't think anybody would hear it and I figured, you know, at the time I didn't know we were going to do some film com com commentaries.
We didn't know that, did we?
Yeah, it's true.
What were we saying there? So yeah, taking another run at young Jeff Bridges.
Jeff Bridges said in Variety, his DH character looked more like Bill Maher than myself.
Yuck! Can you imagine? like Bill Ma than myself. Yuck.
Can you imagine?
Fucking Bill Ma of all people?
That fucking sucks.
But also he makes a lot of good points.
Oh no.
Here we go.
It's just the first thing.
I was going to say for people who don't know, nobody knows this except us, but we recently,
just before this we recorded a Caravan of Garbage, the audience of Caravan of Garbage.
We did make a lot of comments about doing our own research.
I think that's infested this podcast.
Yeah.
We haven't got out of this mode yet.
I don't think there's anything wrong with doing your own research, Mason.
Absolutely not.
Especially if you're an idiot.
How are you supposed to find anything out?
It's just a good point.
Just read whatever's fed to you in your feed.
That sounds great.
It is great, actually.
Oh my God. It is great actually. Oh my god.
It is great.
Actually.
But yeah, in the Tron Machine, in the last one, I think it's okay that he looks weird
in digital because he's a digital man in the Tron Machine.
Yes.
But I also have him like that outside of the Tron Machine and that is unforgivable.
Exactly.
And that's why that movie is actually bad, actually.
Anyway, this is one reason, one more reason I should say to be excited for Tron Aries.
Everything except the lead, who is Jared Leto.
But you know, maybe he dies immediately.
Maybe it's an executive decision situation.
Where a Disney executive shoots him in the head for real.
Oh my god, can you imagine?
Here's some great news.
We like to return to this every couple of months.
It's in one company buys another company.
I'm so excited for this.
And we barely understand it?
Yeah.
Great.
I love it.
I read the articles, but I'm doing my research.
It's important, folks, that you know we don't really understand what's going on.
Now there has been a bid out for Paramount Global.
Skydance apparently were looking to merge with them.
Okay.
One big company.
Skydance, that company that has something to do with Tom Cruise, but I don't think it does. Yeah, maybe. But I do associate it in my mind. With
Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise. Something to do with some of the Mission Impossible movies? It
sounds right. Because he did a Warner Brothers thing, didn't he, or something. Like he moved
over to Warner Brothers? Uh huh, yep. Oh yeah, no, they did Mission Impossible, they did
Top Gun Maverick, they did the movie Ghosted from 2023. The one nobody watched and probably
isn't real. It's not a real movie. The one nobody watched and probably isn't real.
It's not a real movie.
I watched it and it definitely isn't
real.
So they were going to merge, right?
That was the idea.
OK.
Everybody seemed to be happy with
that, including those companies.
But then Sony.
They could have called themselves
Mount Dance.
Exactly.
Dance Mount.
Sky Mount.
Sky Mount.
Paramount.
Oh, yeah. There we go.
That's pretty good, actually.
Yeah, that's good.
So Sony Pictures stepped in and
said, hang on a second.
We offer you $26 billion in cash
to purchase Paramount.
You can fill your pockets right now.
Yeah.
Wait, purchase Paramount?
Yeah, because I'm trying to work out who's buying who.
They are going to purchase Paramount.
They want to.
Now, that would be over the actual worth of the company, which is apparently $22 billion.
$4 billion? Have you is apparently $22 billion.
$4 billion?
I mean, stick that $4 billion right in your pockets.
That's how you get anything.
You just bid much higher and then you got it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because no one else will do that.
Exactly.
Yeah.
And if you're like, well, we don't have this money, well, it's fake.
Figure it out.
Yeah, figure it out.
We'll just fire everybody.
We'll just fire all our essential workers and we'll get $4 billion somehow.
Well, here we go, Mason.
So if this Sony merger happens, the combination of Sony Pictures and Paramount
Pictures would likely result in mass layoffs and knock the number of major
Hollywood studios from five to four.
That was of course, after Disney took over 20th Century Fox, Sony Corp acquired
Columbia, et cetera.
And so forth.
Yes, that's right.
But I'm still amazed that George Lucas sold Star Wars
for $4 billion when they're selling Paramount for 26
or whatever this is.
But he got other stuff on top of that.
And but still like surely Star Wars.
He got a lot of vouchers for that food court in Adelaide.
You reckon he did?
I reckon he did, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Half price off whatever.
That's exactly right.
From Bay and Marie fried rice.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Free can of Coke if you pay cash, but he's got the cash because he got that four billion dollars
I'm the supermarket down Mason
I'm going to get a trolley and it was there was the trolleys in there to put a coin in and it's a cashless
Society and I'm a coin. She just put your credit card directly. I did leave it. I did I left it still in there
Yeah, so that's cool. I was over my pin on it. So I don't forget.
It's a really good idea. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, you wrote it on your passport. You
left your passport in there as well, right? So yeah, there you go. That's going to happen.
Someone's going to buy or merge with that company. Now let me ask you this. What does
this mean for content, James? It means- A merging of content. We're getting Mission Impossible meets Spider-Man or Morbius.
Spider-Man and Morbius.
Spider-Man and Morbius do a Mission Impossible.
I mean, they got the webs, they can do the drop down, can't they?
That's correct, exactly, yeah.
Or Morbius wouldn't, he'd fly down like a packet of chips.
Correct, yes.
But they both are able to do that.
God, I mean, I guess it's more stuff. But also when they do this, it takes
a while to kind of get everything running again because you do a restructure and you
got to fire all the other, all the creative people that are already working on stuff and
then you bring in new people.
Ooh, Mission Impossible could meet Arnold Schwarzenegger in FUBAR.
Oh yeah. That was a movie or show, wasn't it?
That was a movie or show, I think. Yeah, they could team up.
Was that a Netflix series, I would say?
Maybe. Maybe it was. Yeah, they could team up. Was that a Netflix series I was saying? Maybe. Maybe it was.
Yeah, it was.
Mission Impossible could team up with Grace and Frankie.
Oh yeah.
Mission Impossible could team up with Jack Ryan.
Jack Ryan?
Yeah. Oh wait, they could have done this already because I'm just looking at Skydance here.
So.
But they haven't.
No, they haven't, but they could.
Yeah. Just what you do that in your press release. You go, now that we've merged with
whatever.
Yeah, that's right.
And you just name some characters that that are going to merge together.
Doesn't matter from what companies. It's irrelevant.
God, the merging of worlds and companies makes me happy.
Me too.
Not as happy as this.
Oh, James, Craven the Hunter could team up with Untitled McConaughey-Harrelson series.
It is coming out in TVA.
That's not True Detective.
Apparently not.
That's not a sequel to EdTV.
Is it maybe that's is it maybe Woody Harrison and Matthew McConaughey figure out whether they're
brothers or not? For real? The show?
Just do it.
Yeah.
Figure it out, man.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wow.
Anything else?
No.
No funny mergers?
No.
You've exhausted your supply?
GI Joe and...
God.
Madame Web.
Yep.
Done.
Pretty good, wouldn't it?
Yeah.
Good, wouldn't it?
God.
Two boring franchises.
Together at last.
That's right.
Trailers of Hoi Mason.
Mm-hmm.
Honk.
This one's for Mufasa, the Lion King.
Correct, yes.
It's What If the Lion King...
Again.
Again, but it's the snow.
Yep.
Mufasa came up from nothing.
Did he though?
Yeah.
Isn't there like a bunch of lines in the other Lion Kings where he talks about the
big lineage of kings and stuff?
Yeah, probably.
Okay, great.
Probably.
Do you think he was lying?
Do you think this is typical of a lie?
Mufasa learns to lie in the movie.
Yeah.
Well, it could be that the lioness that he married came from a long line.
He's buying in.
He's buying in, mate.
Okay. All right.
But you've got to respect.
Yeah, that's true.
There's Megan Markling it.
He's sugar-babying it.
Yes, he is.
He's a real sugar husband.
Yeah, that's right.
He's a kept man.
Mm-hmm. He really is.
So people are like, why is this happening?
What are you doing, et cetera.
Christian reached out to Barry Jenkins, the director of this. Christian? Yes.
Who's that? Go on Twitter.
Okay. Barry Jenkins, of course, directed Moonlight and If Beale Street Could Talk.
He said, Barry, you're too good and talented for Iger's soulless machine.
Barry Jenkins said, there's nothing soulless about The Lion King for decades. Children have
sat in theaters all around the world experiencing collective grief for the first time, engaging Shakespeare for the first time, across aisles in a myriad
of languages, a most potent vessel for communal empathy.
Interesting.
I mean, the first one is that.
Sure.
Maybe not the reboot as much.
And the reboot and maybe some of the sequels are mostly about farting if I had to guess I've straight
You haven't seen Simba's pride. No, never mind people like that one. Okay, if Campbell's in it people like that
Oh, she's coming back to scream. So that's right. We talked about it already Mason. That was old news
I mean, I do old news we do now, but I think she said something else this week
Oh, yeah, it was all about they pay me a lot of money. I think no she didn't she specifically did not say that James
No, I mean for the new one. Yeah, they finally like paid me a lot of money. I think, no, she specifically did not say that, James. No, I mean for the new one.
Yeah.
They finally like paid her a lot of money, as they should.
At no point was she like, yeah, I'm in this because you fired the other, the new lady.
Oh, really?
That's interesting that she didn't come up.
She didn't say that.
She didn't say that, didn't she?
Hey man, anybody's allowed to say anything and that's okay.
That's so true.
But yeah, look, I think though Barry Jenkins and his track record, I would say he definitely
has like a particular vision for this and an idea.
Apparently Lin-Manuel Miranda is doing the music, a bit of hippity hoppity Lion Kings.
You know what I mean?
I do know exactly.
And he loves lineages and politics and imagine that in the Lion King because he's already
doing that.
I don't think he's got any script.
What?
Does he not have any script privileges?
Who?
Lin-Manuel Miranda?
For the Lion King?
Yes. You don't think they would have given him script privileges?
I don't think they would, no.
Just wing it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Or maybe they'll just get him to do the songs and then they'll figure it out afterwards.
Sure.
Yeah.
He can build his own narrative and they'll work the visual effects around it.
Now, I'll tell you this.
I felt like, and maybe it's just the shots that we see in the trailer, but it did seem more animated.
Yes, it does.
As it were than the previous Lion King, in the sense that it looked...
It's expression.
Yeah, he seems to have a wider range of human emotion than...
So some emotion.
...than Simba did in the last live, actually.
He had no emotion.
No emotion at all, yeah.
Yeah. Yeah, I hope that is true.
Um, but look, this is something that nobody's really asking for, but
it's going to sell a lot of tickets.
Maybe.
And anything can be good.
That's so true.
You know, if, if a filmmaker's got a story to tell and that, and it gets
executed well and not meddled with and all of that and the right forces come
together and speaking about someone who got executed well, he was faster.
Oh yeah, he had a sick execution.
It's crazy.
Think about that.
That's a good one.
That's what I got out of that movie.
He flew into a bunch of wildebeests.
Yeah, and that's Shakespeare.
That's Shakespeare.
That's Shakespeare, I'll tell you that much.
We also got a trailer for The Boys.
That's right, this is a last minute record.
That's right. We heard about it and we're like, let's get on with boys. That's right. This is the last minute record. That's right.
We heard about it.
We're like, let's get on with it.
Let's make Collings edit in another little snippet.
Let's record a little snippet.
We love that.
This is going to be the best snippet we ever do.
I hope so.
Here we go.
Because that's a waste of time.
Anyway, I thought it was pretty good.
I like this.
June 13th.
What?
It's out on June 13th.
Oh, nice.
Great.
Great for you. There's animals in it. There's killer chickens and killer farm animals, super powered farm animals.
I think that homeland has actually gone too far this time. This character that I love
and identify with. Right. It's tipping over a little bit. All right. It's interesting that
they put that nuance in there that it makes you rethink. Yes. Everything you previously knew about
and believe I was punching people's hearts out of it. Yeah, kicking orphans into space. Exactly. Whatever, whatever we do. And Jeffrey D Morgan is in this season. Was he in last season? I don't remember.
I can't remember either. Google it real quick. Yeah, Google it real quick. Yeah. God, I mean, just blood galore. Obviously, I saw there's some people in there from, um, GMP as well., you know, that they're obviously same unit that
shows on hiatus. We talked about this due to a recent and tragic death, but yes, they're
folding more of that in homeland design. He looks conflicted as well. Don't you think
and brunette? Yeah. Was he blonde in previous season? This is the stuff, James. This is
the real, he was blonde in some of the seasons. This is some real, uh, this is a real incisive
commentary. I think.
That's what we like to do here.
He's only in season four, you are right.
That's right.
Who is he?
What's his deal?
His name is Bill Bo Baggins?
What the hell?
That cannot be correct.
His name cannot be Bill Bo Baggins.
Oh no, I'm in the boys Hobbit Wikipedia.
That they match together.
It's interesting.
We've got James, we've got to find out. We've got to find out all these Easter eggs.
No, it's Joe Kessler.
Okay, and who is that in the comic books?
Joe Kessler is an upcoming character in season four of The Boys.
I'm gonna need more than that, James. I'm gonna need more than that, alright?
That's all I got here.
Wow. Who is in the comic book?
I don't know. You might not even be in the comic book.
Oh my god, he's the original material for the show?
Sometimes they are.
Yeah, I guess so, yeah.
Yeah. Who do you think he's gonna play? Blah, blah, blah. They can maybe play Joe Kessler. No, in the comics, it says monkey. That's right.
I thought so. CIA analyst who works as a source for the boys. Okay. What's his weird sexual thing
that he does in the comic books? Anything. Yeah. Okay. He's up for anything. Getting his dick cut
off. I don't know. Sure. Okay. That's a one-time thing. Yeah, that's right. If you don't, it turns
out you don't like that.
Yeah.
I mean, I guess too bad, but also you never have to do it again, do you?
Okay.
You joke about the sex thing.
No, I don't.
This is deadly serious.
Everybody in the boys comic book has some weird sex thing.
In the comics, he's a CIA analyst who works as a source of information for Butcher.
He also has a wheelchair fetish.
There you go.
I knew there'd be something.
That's right.
That's by AcceptableGhost04 on Reddit. Okay. It's a post from seven months ago. there you go. I knew there'd be something. That's right. Yeah, that's why acceptable ghost 04 on reddit
Okay, all right from seven months ago. Well, anyway, all our faves are back. Yep. Huey's back
Everybody from the boys starlight is back everybody from the boys. Yes, that's right
Yeah, which are from the boys the boys is then he's got his accent all the boys are there
That's right. The boys are back. So true in town for another season of the boys
Do you think they're finally gonna to get Homelander this season?
To...
Yes or no?
You don't think so?
No.
When are they going to get Homelander?
When is he not going to squirrel out of their grasp?
Five or six.
Five seems like a good place to end I think.
Yeah.
Not for any... not based on what we've seen of the plot so far in the evolution of the
characters.
Just five is a good number to end on.
Well, the creator of this, Eric Kripke, he who did Supernatural, Supernatural was supposed
to be five seasons.
And it went to 15.
Yeah.
And if you watch those five seasons of Supernatural, it's like the perfect arc and conclusion to
the characters.
Yeah, right.
But then they...
Yeah, I'm not saying there is terrible stuff.
There isn't good stuff after that.
There is.
But it...
So maybe it is five.
Maybe it's five.
Yeah.
But also like the boys can just continue forever in multiple spin-offs.
Like it can continue for as long as they need to that's true
Yeah, so, you know it five ten that mother's milk spin-off. They have this spin-off, you know, it's all right different spin-offs
Yeah, yeah, yeah different until they run out of fetishes, which is never just never that's right
We still haven't got our homeland as appearance in Mortal Kombat 1 is yet to debut in that
I think it's come maybe it's coming up this month who will win the fight between
one is yet to debut in that I think it's coming maybe it's coming up this month who will win the fight between Homelander and Omni man man man who will
win the fight between Homelander and Superman Superman in a fire between
Homelander yes and a plane full of people and he has to save the plane full
of people but he actually accidentally lasers eyes the controls and the plane's
gonna crash what counts as a win this is the faithful what counts as a win there
I know that's a bit like it's open to interpretation that's the nuance of the
boys it's true isn't it yeah yeah so interpretation. That's the nuance of the boys. It's true, isn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So what do you think?
I think Homelander would win in that case.
Probably win.
All the other people would die.
They would die on the plane.
Cool.
All right.
Well, you know, look forward to it.
Yeah.
I look forward to it.
Me too.
All right.
Do we move it along?
Yes.
This is by the credits.
So this is an article by Susanna Endelbaum
titled Lights, Camera, Action, Plan,
a Focus on the Filmmakers of Tomorrow at Bill and Nail.
So they had this thing, right?
Okay.
Filmmakers got together and went.
They went to Bill and Nail.
Yeah, and they went,
this is the future of filmmaking, et cetera.
And in relation to the Hellboy reboot,
Jonathan Younger, who's the president of Millennium
Films, he was actually enthusiastic about the possibility of AI in filmmaking and he
started by saying this, I wasn't a fan of AI.
Okay.
But.
Oh no!
After shooting a demon character practically for a film called Hellboy due out later this
year, that's this year anyway, that didn't look great, he turned to AI to come up with
a new design on a platform he built himself.
I was able to make 3000 creature designs in an hour.
So now I can start to cherry pick and edit those and then send it to visual effects.
Mike Mignola, who of course is the creator of Hellboy.
That's correct.
I said an artist.
Yes.
Never used AI on his life presumably.
Well, we don't know.
Let's not jump to any conclusions.
He said, I knew nothing about this.
Just finding out now, not happy about it.
Also, like, if you...
What if it was like, very happy, just finding out about it now.
I'm so happy about it. This is great.
Can I do this as well?
God, this is so dour.
Now, as I understand, when I read the first quote,
it suggested to me
that this guy had not used AI on Hellboy specifically on
the Hellboy production.
The quote that I read suggested that he made some stuff for Hellboy and it took a long
time and then he just went to AI for some other stuff.
Right.
No, that's what I have.
I went to the article and that's the quote that it was.
He said he made he made 3000 creature designs
in an hour on a platform that he built.
And again, we've talked about this, like that doesn't come from nothing.
You can't make 3000 pictures with no input.
That's right.
So that means there was people's actual work being fed into that.
Probably Mike Mignola's work.
I would say probably, almost certainly, yes.
I think they're doing The Crooked Man, which I read recently, which is a really good whole
boy comic.
But, alright.
Alright, Mason, really good, I guess.
I don't think it is good.
I think it's bad.
Yeah, it's bad.
Yeah, Dallas stuff.
Not as, but it is some good news.
You want some good news?
Do you have any more bad news?
Nah.
Do you want more bad news?
No. You can check. No, don't go searching for bad news. I'll go to Twitter and news? Nah. Do you want more bad news? No.
Don't go searching for bad news.
I'll go to Twitter.
I'll just see what's happening.
No.
I'll go to my For You tab.
No.
It's all awful there.
Everything's awful.
Yeah, it's not great.
Alan Jones is trending.
Oh, yeah.
I like that.
Yeah, he went to a school reunion.
Oh, yeah.
The school where he...
Did he go to that school?
No, he was a teacher at that school.
And there were many allegations about him at that school
allegedly but you know I can't say it because he is very litigious I know I
know so don't but he is a massive piece of shit he's absolute human fucking
garbage in our opinion anyways Dwayne the Rock Johnson. God damn. Stand up guy, professional.
Wow.
Mason, you'd wait.
No, no, no, no, no.
The pinnacle of professionalism.
Remember that time he was on set at the Fast and Furious movies and he's like, I don't
like Vin Diesel, he's not professional.
Unlike me, Dwayne the Rock Johnson, consummate professional.
They're probably just both lunatics though, really.
Absolutely.
That's right. Anyways, everything I'm about to talk about here is from an article from The Wrap.
An Amazon MGM said the following claims about Dwayne The Rock Johnson are false and ridiculous.
Defamatory? No, just false and ridiculous. Okay. So we're going to get into this. People might have
seen this article, but it's basically about a history of
Dwayne Johnson, the opposite of the things Mason was saying.
Maybe unprofessional, et cetera.
Maybe turning up late, et cetera.
Look how big he is.
Maybe pissing in bottles, et cetera.
No, no, no, no.
Yes, Mason.
He's gin or whatever.
He's tequila bottles.
He's pissing in it, Mason.
No, no, no.
He's producing beautiful tequila.
You're drinking some now, Mason.
I am.
No, no, no. He's producing beautiful tequila.
You're drinking some now, Mason.
I am.
So, in terms of the movie Red One, for those of you who don't know, they're hoping to
launch a potential franchise, Amazon, with Red One, which is about a villain who kidnaps
Santa from the North Pole, after which an ELF, extremely large and formidable operative,
joins forces with a bounty hunter to find
Santa and save Christmas. Stars Chris Evans also, JK Simmons is Santa Claus, The Rock,
etc.
Ryan Reynolds?
No, you think you've read Notice, the movie Red Notice and one of the Fast and Furious
Genos.
Oh, it is Chris Evans, isn't it?
It is Chris Evans, isn't it?
Okay.
Yeah. It's one of those movies that doesn't seem like a real movie.
Yeah.
But it is. And there's a reason why-
We don't know that for sure. I mean, I've only seen that one-
There's that one image.
That's that one image where it's the rock and he's in like a red
rubber suit. And then Chris Evans, it turns out, is there and he's in like a leather jacket.
He's like, eww.
So this originally-
A schlubby Chris Evans this time.
Doubt it. This was originally slated for release during the 2023 Christmas season.
That's been and gone.
Yeah, but the theatrical release has been delayed to November of this year.
Now originally this was because of the labor strikes they were saying, right?
But the real story was a lot messier.
Apparently there are a number of-
Let's get into it.
Let's dig in the muck then, shall we?
We have to.
There are a number of production issues
ranging from Johnson's chronic lateness and lack of professionalism.
Chronic lateness?
I don't think he's that kind of guy, Mason.
No.
Maybe he is.
I was miming smoking steroids.
Smoking a big steroid dooby.
Then he was smoking a big syringe full of steroids.
Chronic lateness and lack of professionalism on set,
on set and also producers inexperienced as some of them we will talk about in this article.
Apparently it caused costs on the movie co-starring Chris Evans and J.K.
Simmons to spiral upwards.
And the final budget is over 250 million dollars for this Christmas health rescue movie.
That to be clear, everyone will forget about the day after it comes out.
This is all money laundering.
Absolutely.
Johnson was late on an average of
seven to eight hours per day.
That's a long time.
That's the day.
That is an entire workday, isn't
it?
And I know it's often they'll film
for like 10, 12 hours, right?
Yeah.
But that's a that's a crazy amount
of time to be.
When I was a teacher,
that the school's finished. Yeah. I would turn up and it would be well finished.
Okay, but what if you were like a real hotshot celebrity teacher and school is on when you
get there?
Like Robin Williams in Dead Poets Society.
Exactly.
The kids just have to wait around smoking cigarettes until you get there and then you
spin your chair around and you sit on it backwards and you're like, okay kids, let's rap.
Yep. I'm leaving though.
Yeah, that's right.
So because of that, the cost of this ballooned by at least $50 million and according to three insiders who insisted on anonymity for fear of being fired.
Or crushed to death.
Sure, because people probably know this, but on set, when you're not filming, you're just
burning money.
People have to be there regardless.
People should be, and for the most part, hopefully are being paid.
You've got setups, all of these things.
You've got to feed them.
You've got to feed everybody.
You can only film at certain times.
You've got to rent all the equipment.
You've got to rent all the equipment and the spaces. It goes on and on.
The knock on then goes on to other productions which are happening.
It doesn't surprise me.
You know, you can go on to another job.
No, it was a fucking disaster, one insider said.
First of all, language.
I agree.
On days when Johnson didn't show up at all,
the production crew was forced to shoot around him, the insider added.
That is something that they often do.
You know, they'll get the stunt person and film the back of their head while someone
else delivers lines to them. Happens all of the time. But that's not how you should make
a movie for the most part, in my opinion.
Dwayne truly doesn't give a fuck, one insider said bluntly. This apparently is not a new
thing.
The foul mouth on this insider, honestly.
I think that was a different insider.
Well, the foul mouth is on these insiders.
I want you to cast your mind and your MacBook, Mason, back to the year...
Okay, I'm going to cast my MacBook into this river.
Good. Back to the year 2018 and the movie Rampage.
Johnson was late an average of four to five hours daily with one co-star, we don't know who.
Probably the only other person in that movie who wasn't.
The gorilla?
Not going to check.
The winged wolf or whatever it was.
Actually, I think it was very unprofessional.
I was here every day.
Jumping off a big building or whatever.
One co-star keeping records of his tardiness according to insiders.
Big lizard couldn't go on to the bloody next Godzilla movie.
Dream of it.
Dwayne's call times are never ever published on the call sheet, one insider said.
It's because one of the actors on Rampage was keeping track of how late DJ was to set
every day.
So no one calls him DJ.
Am I alone in that?
Is that like a thing?
If you're like, who's DJ?
Would you be like, oh, it's Dwayne Johnson?
Yeah, you would say that, would you?
Yeah, I would, yeah.
Not DJ from Full House and the sequel series Fuller House?
No.
Okay.
He's out of the zeitgeist.
I'm only thinking of Dwayne Johnson.
The examples of Johnson's tardiness are numerous
and well-documented from showing up late to fan events
to leaving entire sets idle while he is off doing three hour workouts.
That's also too much, in my opinion.
You can work out less.
Nah, but that's because you don't try hard enough.
No, I do.
I just do it in a smaller amount of time.
I try extra hard.
I say you do it.
A lot of people don't know that.
But he's also trying extra hard and then he does three hours.
He's beaten you by a country mile.
Yeah, maybe.
That's embarrassing for you.
I guess it is a bit embarrassing
But at least I don't piss in bottles and we'll get to that
It is absolutely never pissed in a bottle. I have never pissed in a bottle interest ever in my life have you know
Because I feel like you were gonna admit it to me then no if I said that I did you would say
It's a key just openly pissing your car.
If you're stuck in traffic, you really need to go.
I'm way steeped pissing my car.
It's his absolute refusal to work more than four to five hours a day, a studio insider
added.
Another insider suggested it's a control thing.
John's behavior has led to a confrontation with co-stars.
Here's an interesting one Mason, you mentioned this.
Most famously, Vin Diesel.
Vin had a problem with the Rock because the Rock keeps showing up late for production.
An insider told people during their work together on the Fast and Furious franchise.
Just telling people?
Yep.
Sometimes he doesn't show up at all and he's delaying the production.
Also, during the production in the fall of 2020
on Netflix's similarly titled Red Notice.
He gave everybody Christmas presents
and they were just piss in bottles.
He said, this is my new tequila or whatever.
I call it my piss tequila.
Ryan Reynolds was so infuriated after waiting
five hours for Johnson that he had a huge fight
according to insiders. Johnson stormed off set then the two didn't speak
for years until they recently patched things up. Red Notice 2 is in production.
Nice.
Because it did so well.
Apparently it did.
And that may explain why we're not probably going to get Red Notice 2.
Well at least we got Red Notice, the best movie of all time.
No. Insiders also accused Johnson of using some of Red Notice.
Also, isn't Ryan Reynolds very nice?
I mean, we don't know any of these people.
Isn't he notoriously nice?
He's certainly sassy, isn't he?
And creative and sassy and all that.
So to anchor Ryan Reynolds.
He runs a tight production as well.
He's churning them out.
That's right.
Insiders also accused Johnson of using some of Red Notice's movie budget for his personal
production company.
According to two insiders, just assume all this is insiders by the way, nobody's put
their name to any of this, the team from Johnson's Seven Buck Productions tacked on an entire
XFL promotion shoot that added two days to the Red Notice marketing shoot.
That is bold as brass.
I kind of love that though.
What's going on with the XFL?
Does anybody know? So, Dway going on with the XFL? Does anybody know?
So, Dwayne Johnson owns the XFL.
Apparently.
And he's a big WWE owner now, board member something, remember?
On set, away from his trailer, if he needs to pee, he doesn't go to public bathrooms.
One insider who knows the movie star said, well, he pees in a Voss water bottle and his
team...
Good product placement. Absolutely. That's the glass one it's the glass cylinder ones
okay his team or a PA has to dispose of it
Piss Assistant. PA! Yeah yeah which is wild because surely if you're doing this
if you're getting if you're getting a probably so hydrated or really
dehydrated it's tough to say I don't know yeah yeah it's well maybe maybe he's drink so much these constantly on the verge of having to pay all the time
Maybe he is he actually got a quote and he says I would never piss in a bottle because I piss so much that I
Fill up the bottle with all my piss because I'm so powerful. I would need multiple piss bottles
It's a might as a quote from him. Wow says because my balls are so full of piss
Wow, my best team is a quote from Tim Burton
He said I would never piss in a bottle, but I would
certainly never piss in a bottle given to me by Kevin Smith. If you're the rock and
you can get an additional trailer that has your personal gym in it, surely you can get
a little toilet put somewhere and a little shower curtain. Call Kenny. Call Kenny.
The piss guy.
He's more of a shit guy.
Okay, right.
Yeah.
You're not wrong, Mason.
It could be even, like not even, I bet for Hollywood superstars who are like VIPs at
music festivals, I bet they have really nice audible toilets.
Very important piss.
Very important piss people.
That's right.
Yeah. I mean, that's a nice
one. Yeah, nice one. I could be lighting good selfie lighting. It's weird that you're like
if you're four to eight hours late. Yeah. But then when you're out of the way before
you get there. But then when you're there, you stay on setting piss in a bottle. Yeah.
Priorities are fucked up. Yeah, that's weird. Isn't it? Right? He's like, well, what now
I'm here. I got to be absolutely professional. I can't simply leave and go down that corridor and pay and come back in one minute. I simply must pay in a bottle
right here. Yeah, that is wild. I think also this guy, he's doing too much because he's constantly
running between projects. If you're on a movie, that should be the thing that you're doing,
right? Like that's your job. You kind of my do you see what I'm saying? I do see what you're saying.
So it's kind of wild to me that like he's running the XFL and he's wrestling again and
he's also on the board and he's making multiple blockbusters and selling tequila and all of
that. Maybe just tone it. Like no one wants to see you that much either.
I don't know though.
I don't think people do.
They have for a long time. I mean maybe this is all-
These movies don't even make that much money. They don't make enough money and I think people don't for a long time. I mean maybe this is movies don't even make that much money They don't make enough money
And I think that's why this is happening if he was like making billion dollar movies every time we wouldn't hear a fucking word about
No, no, and I think you're right in the sense that he you know he has had a sort of
Reversal of fortunes of a sort you know black Adam did not do well even though he everybody assured us it would and what have you
So maybe he's just like well now. now I'm going to try 10 more things.
Yeah.
And see which one, you know, I'm going to do 10 things bad, like very average.
Yeah.
Except for the pissing, which I'll do very well and very accurately.
Yeah. Oh, there's more to this though. So Hiram Garcia,
he's the brother of Dwayne Johnson's ex-wife.
Okay.
And he started as his personal assistant in 2002, I think on the Mummy Returns.
Okay.
And initially this guy was doing protein shakes and meal prep.
But...
Making him for Dwayne the Rock.
Yes.
But over the years he worked his way up and now he is president of production at Seven
Bucks Productions, which is Dwayne Johnson's production company.
Okay.
All right.
Where's the ex-wife?
Yeah.
They, I don't know, divorced a few years ago.
I think he remarried or something.
It's difficult to picture The Rock with like... Anybody? Yeah. He's just like a weightlifting
machine. It's kind of weird, right? It is weird. It's weird in his movies, like when you see him
kiss somebody. I don't like it. Don't kiss anybody. Man, woman,
whatever. We don't like it. So despite working side by side and he's frequent. Also that's an,
I mean, what a journey you go from making protein shakes to a production head or whatever.
This is the protein shake of life. Definitely. Despite working side by side and frequently
shadowing season producers for years on large scale productions Hiram has no idea how to produce the top agency insider added. Oh
The only shader this guy. Yeah, he's just been brought in here. Yep. And and well he is somewhat responsible
It seems because he's can't schedule for shit this guy apparently
The only thing he's ever known is how to work for Dwayne anytime
He's been in a situation where his responsibilities have expanded beyond DJ
His crew's that from full house. Yeah, he has full house, the sequel series. Well, I mean, he's been doing crazy stuff
with like the rock and stuff. So no wonder, you know, I bet DJ's requirements are minimal.
No doubt. Am I doing full house this week? No, it got
cancelled. All right, I'll take the week off. I think they ended it on a high actually.
Oh great. And then Bob Saget died, so it's not week off. I think they ended it on a high actually.
And then Bob Saget died, so it's not coming back.
Anytime he's been in a situation
where responsibilities have expanded beyond DJ,
he has crumbled.
Here's a great quote from the top agency insider.
If Vince from Entourage tried to give Turtle a real job,
hiring a guy, see it was what you would get as a result.
Ouch.
Also bearing in mind, this is all, we don't know to this or any of this to be true. job hiring guys see it was what you would get as a result. Ouch. Yeah.
Also bearing in mind, this is all, we don't know if this is all any of this to be true.
I mean, you know, the rock does not feel like a guy who suffers fools gladly.
So it's interesting that he hasn't kicked this guy to the curb.
I mean, he's family, I guess, to some degree.
Maybe just keeping people away from him.
So like, whatever.
So matters all came to a head in 2022.
Maybe he can blame the guy every time he's late. Yeah. Well, actually, my bloody, my
bloody ex brother in law, you know what it's like. Exactly. He scheduled me to be on Fuller
House. Yeah. Not even on that show. It doesn't even exist anymore because Bob Saget died,
as you know, very sad. And yet I was convinced that I was going to be there.
So I was there for eight hours.
I was just standing on the fuller house.
Just lifting the Olsen twins.
Just benching him.
They're not in it.
They didn't come back.
They came back for the rock though.
Did they?
Yeah, so he could bench him.
But so they knew he was coming back even though he's not in, doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
This riff is great.
I love it.
Thank you.
But I'm lost.
We don't have time to explore it.
We don't have time to draw a mind map
So matters all came to a head in 2022 where Johnson and Danny Garcia met with Warner Brothers Discovery CEO David Zaslav
Oh, here we go. Big man, normal man. Mm-hmm. I'm not only inserting Superman back into Black Adam
Oh, you're a tall drink of water. He would have said to the rock
Yep supporting Superman back into Black Adam. Oh, you're a tall drink of water, he would have said to The Rock. Yep.
But according to four insiders with knowledge of the meeting, positioning seven bucks to
run DC and then replace then Chief Walter Hamada.
We know about this.
There was a play by The Rock to take over DC and then make Black Adam, Black Adam versus
Shazam.
Black Adam versus Superman.
Yeah.
Justice Society and led by Black Adam.
Nice. Probably Black Adam 2. And then Society and led by Black Adam. Nice.
Probably Black Adam 2 and then League of Superpets.
That's right.
Again.
Big success.
Yeah.
It went okay.
Next up on Johnson's list of things he's doing is A24's The Smashing Machine, a biopic about
UFC fighter Mark Kerr that will be directed by Ben Safdie.
The Safdie Brothers.
Yeah, Johnson has set to star alongside his Jungle Cruise co-star, Emily Blunt.
However, one insider warned Benny has no clue what he's gotten himself into.
Interesting. Because you kind of if you're making like an 824 film as well, like
that's not a 200 million dollar.
That's quick turnaround.
That's you know.
The budgets are like 10 million or whatever, you know, and then if you don't go
That's a big deal. If your main guy doesn't show up. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know
I think this will probably he will do a lot of
Press and personal effort to kind of to write this this perceived look. Yeah, whether or not it's true or not
Yeah, but I just think he's just doing too many things.
You know, pro is all fucked up.
I agree.
Your pro should be family.
But is he loving it though?
I don't know.
Is he loving this?
How could you love this?
I don't know.
How could you love doing nine things badly?
You know what I mean?
But is everybody telling him he's doing great?
Well, not, no, not now.
Wow.
I am.
Yeah.
Tell him on Twitter. Yeah. Man, you're doing great, man. But how do you feel when there's a new The Rock movie or anything?
How do you feel about it? What's your response? What if he was in Tron Aries? Would you like that kind of?
See, you can be big Tron. Yeah, you can be big Tron. That's right. You thought you defeated Tron, but now he's big Tron
You thought you defeated Tron, but now he's Big Tron. Yeah, I don't know man.
It's because whenever you see-
Think about how many lights could be on it.
How many light strips on the rock when he's Big Tron.
He'd look like a house at Christmas time.
I just think, you know, whenever there's a trailer for whatever he's doing.
You'd be bench pressing daft punks.
Sure, yeah.
You know?
Get them and the balsa twit.
They're doing it all.
But just, like, whenever there's a trailer or an image, it's just like, this looks like
shit.
What was the last thing he did?
God, was it Black Adam?
No, he's done stuff after that.
I don't know.
That was only last year.
Okay.
Here's the thing though. As someone who is very cynical for this industry, I still am
kind of jazzed when I see him in a thing.
Well apparently he's very nice and personable and everything and all of that, so you know.
Is he still doing Young Rock?
Oh the last thing, no that got cancelled.
The last thing he did was that...
Moana?
No, he's doing that this year.
Ballers?
No, he was in Fast X. Oh yeah, that's
right. And before that was Black Adam. Yeah. Okay. Apparently it was the same in all like,
people are coming out of the woodwork being like, yeah, he was late on Ballers, he was late on this.
Yeah, right, right. Isn't Ballers just like entourage with a big man? Yep, that's right.
I'm never saying it. And I won't. So yeah, I don't know know man. But if you look at it, it's like Red
Notice, Jungle Cruise, like Black Adam. Then there's Jumanji movies in there. Fine. Then
there's Hobbs and Shaw, which is dreadful. Correct. Fighting with my family's, I think
good, but he's like barely in it. And sort of like Rampage, Skyscraper. This is just
average stuff, man. Baywatch, the Fast and Furious extended fight scenes. I don't know what that
is.
It's a damn many extra presumably.
It must be. But just, I don't know, apparently he's in Gem and the Holograms. There you go.
Good to learn. I don't know. I think he'll pivot, as he always does, and he'll try and
fix his image and...
He'll squirm his way out like the little rat he is.
Do you think he's got a rat's heart?
No, he's got a lion's heart.
He eats it for breakfast.
But a rat's brain is what you're saying.
Maybe.
Good luck to him.
I agree. And we respect him.
Yeah.
From the world of Sonic the Hedgehog,
a new hero arrives.
I am ready.
Is there anyone stronger?
No.
Tougher?
No. Funnier? I do not make jokes, I make ready. Is there anyone stronger? No. Tougher? No.
Funnier?
I do not make jokes.
I make warriors.
Knuckles now streaming only on Paramount+.
Yes!
I'm not gonna lie Mason, going through all of that made me feel bad.
For who?
I don't like being all catty and gossipy.
Yeah you do.
But we've committed ourselves.
You love it off the air.
Sure.
Yeah, you don't love it in a public forum.
How dare you?
I'm a very measured person and I have respect for everybody.
When I show up at this place, whatever this place is, every time you're like, here's a
list of people I hate.
It's not the same list either.
No.
I've got a new list everywhere.
A fresh list every time.
But I've already researched this so we're doing it.
We're going to talk about Hollywood divas.
Drama.
I'm not just talking about Johnny drama, entourage.
Talking about people on sets of movies who maybe have had some demands or some things
that have happened.
People are like, wow, what a diva actually.
And then we're going to bless them or forgive them.
Yes, that's a great idea.
And that's a great way to look at this. I and forgive them. What a dickhead. Yes. That's a great idea. Yeah, I think so.
And then that's great.
That's a great way to look at this.
I think so too.
This is absolution.
Dwayne the Rock Johnson, we bless you and we forgive you.
That's right.
Stay prayed up.
Are you going to say that to Mark Wahlberg?
No.
No?
No, I think he's loathsome.
I don't care for him at all.
But you like these weird Highlander movies, right?
No. It's bad. I think
a good one to start with and maybe we'll just get colleagues to play some of the
audio. It's Christian Bale's Terminator Salvation rant. Oh yes.
Do I what? No! No! Don't shut me up! Am I gonna walk around and rip your fucking lights down in the
middle of a scene? Then why the fuck are you walking right through? Like this in the background what the
fuck is it with you? What don't you get about it?
I was looking at the light. Oh good for you! Now you're familiar with this. Do you remember what happened?
What I believe happened is Christian Bale was performing a scene for the
movie Terminator Salvation and then in the background, so sort of behind the cameras, somebody was setting up some
lights during the take.
And so iconic rant, I think, from Christian Bale.
And the part about it that I enjoy the most is that he remained in his American accent.
Which is something that my favorite part is where he went, Duh duh duh duh duh duh duh.
Yeah, it's all great. Every part of it. Oh, good for you.
Just an amazing stuff.
He's come out after.
What if I trash your lights?
Yeah.
What if I trash your lights?
Shouldn't do that.
No.
Yeah.
He has come out like-
Because that guy trashed his performance.
That's right.
In the movie about the killer robots in the future or whatever.
Which wasn't very good.
That's bad.
And Christian Bale even afterwards was like,
I shouldn't have made that one.
It wasn't worth getting upset about.
Yeah, like he's come out and like, apologize for that and he's like, I totally hear a scuffle. You hear a scuffle at one point. I saw an
interview with Matt.
McG? He says McG.
He does say McG. I saw an interview with Matt.
That's the director of the movie. It wasn't just.
No, he didn't call McG on the phone.
No, that's right.
Maybe. But I saw an interview with Matt. I didn't speak to Matt Damon
I'm not familiar with him personally where cuz I worked on Ford Ferrari
Oh, yeah, apparently that's something he does like he stays with the accent. Yes, but he says he's not
You don't ask him a question is like I don't know what you're talking about
Oh, yeah, yeah, I'm Johnny car racer or whatever exactly right like you'll keep the accent because it's just easier
Yeah, he's like cuz otherwise he's a lunatic. That's true
Like cuz yes to because he still has. Yeah. Because otherwise he's a lunatic. That's true.
Because he still has to get to set and there's a course, there's a sign up that he puts on
his costume and whatever.
But he just keeps the accent.
He's not method acting to the point where he's like, movie?
Why would I go to film a movie?
I'm Johnny Car Racer, as you said.
That's right.
So what do you reckon with Forgiven?
I think we bless you, Christian Bale. That's the point of you. Forgive said. That's right. So what do you reckon we're forgiven? I think we bless you Christian Bale. Forgive yourself. That's true. Yeah. Yeah, which he has but done I assume.
You know, what's the other guy done? The light guy? What's he done since then? Probably more
lights. Nice. It's important. I mean, these days, it's very important. But I think this guy,
I think this guy probably went in seclusion, which is why so many movies are really dark.
Oh, really? Yeah. That's a very interesting theory which is true
Wesley Snipes, right on the set of Blade Trinity. Okay. There's a whole lot going on here
Patton Oswald has talked openly about because he was on he was in the movie Blade Trinity
Yeah, which he maintains is like an a-plus movie given the circumstances, right?
Like it's not a great movie
But because of all the things that happened and this is the one that has it in addition to having Wesley Snipes, it also
has Ryan Reynolds. Yes. And it also has Jessica Beale. Yep. Uh huh. Sure. Sure. Maybe Whistler
for some of it. So this is why the AV club is what Patton Oswalt said. And so he only came to set
to film his closeups. Okay. Everything else is a double for this. So whenever you don't see him
properly, it's not Wesley Snipes, it's a standing or stunt double. He mostly stayed in his trailer.
Apparently he stayed in character the entire time, referring to himself as Blade. There's a moment-
Well, why wouldn't you?
Yeah, that makes sense.
You know, if you're in the role as Blade.
There's a moment where, and it's in the movie, you can see this where he wouldn't open his eyes in a scene. So they superimpose like CGI eyes.
Yeah, that's fun.
Apparently it all came to a head when Wesley Snipes apparently sat down with David Goya,
who was the director, and said, according to Oswald, I think you need to quit.
You're detrimental to this movie.
And apparently Goya's response was, well, why don't you quit?
We've got all your close-ups and we could shoot the rest of you with stand in. And that freaked Wesley
out so much. And so for the rest of the production, he would only communicate with the director
through post-it notes and he would sign each post-it note from Blade.
Nice. So yeah, I don't think Blade the vampire hunter would communicate with post-it notes.
I think so. I think he'd communicate with like karate kicks. Yeah, like a crossbow bolt with its post-it note on it
Yes, you probably do a spin kick and he'd kick the crossbow bolt into your head
Yeah, and then you pull it out and as you were bleeding out you would look at the post-it note and it says more donuts
In my trailer, please. Blade. Now I've often wondered about this production
Yeah
When did this diva behavior start?
Was it from the only thing was it from moment one or was it from the point?
Because I feel like the presence of your Jessica Biel and your Ryan Reynolds
would suggest to me that the director or the producers of this movie are like,
well, he doesn't have enough star power to sustain another movie.
Let's bring in younger people who are, you know, better looking or whatever.
You know.
Yeah.
Because Ryan Rans was super ripped at the time.
He was super ripped for this one.
He was on the up.
So was Jesse DeBeal.
Off TV shows, both of them.
One of them had also done Van Wilder, who we don't know.
Yeah.
I don't know.
He's also coming back for Blade apparently.
He's going to return.
Nice.
Probably in a multiverse, whatever.
He's Blade's dad.
Probably Blade's dad.
Mr. Blade.
So yeah.
I don't know, man.
We've forgiven. We bless you when we've forgiven you. We've done it. Yes, that's Blade. So yeah, I don't know man. We've forgiven.
We've blessed you when we've forgiven you.
We've done it.
Yes, that's right.
You should forgive yourself.
Yeah.
That's also important.
That's right.
But there's no other stories about him on other movies.
Yeah, right.
This is an isolated incident.
So maybe he was having a, I don't know, a personal divorce.
He was probably having a personal divorce.
Yeah.
Now we've talked about this multiple times.
We talked about it when we covered up the Caravan of Garbage.
We won't get into it too much.
But on the set of Suicide Squad, not the Suicide Squad, Jared Leto went full Joker.
Which you shouldn't do.
And was that diva behaviour?
Or is that madness behaviour?
I think it's just been an annoying prick.
You know what, it's a form of diva behavior because you're...
You're derailing other people.
You're derailing other people to do your thing, your method acting thing.
Your stupid thing.
Your stupid thing, exactly.
So apparently he was mailing used condoms to the cast.
There was a moment they were doing a table read and he got one of his goons to walk in
and throw a pig carcass in the middle.
Why does he have goons?
I don't know, sent a rat to Margot Robbie or something, etc.
And then he came out and again, we talked about in the video and he's like,
I don't know where these stories all came from and like all these things
that the media taking things and spitting out of control.
I think it was you, Jared.
Yeah, he was telling everybody he was doing this.
I think he thought like, I'm going to go like, I'm going to do what Heath Ledger did
and whatever, and you know, and then the madness take me over.
But Heath Ledger didn't do that. He was the Joker and then
it stopped and he went bye everybody great day. Yeah. Great day being the
Joker. That's right. I mean even Joachim... Good to have you as the Joker Heath Ledger.
Joachim Phoenix he seems like a full method man. You know he's not doing any
of this shit I assume. Not that we've heard of. That's right. Anyway don't
forgive me. His underpants are normal. Yeah are normal yeah very normal underpants offstage thank you I don't forgive
Jared Leto for this and other things interesting let's not get into it okay
could be litigious oh man Jim Cavisio you familiar with this man of course I am he's
the Christ he's from the titular The Passion of the Christ. He is. He was also in Count of Monte Cristo with Guy Pearce.
That's right. He's in the TV series Person of Interest, which I was very interested in
watching this series because I'd not seen it before. Some people on the Twitters were
like, oh, this is a really good show and it's about artificial intelligence and it was ahead
of its time and all this sort of stuff. And I'm like, oh, I should get the DVDs because
it's not streaming anywhere in Australia.
I'll get the DVDs, but then I heard about all the stuff
he's all about.
So in the set of personal interest,
apparently there was a number of issues that came up.
One of them was that he didn't,
some of the storylines he didn't agree with.
One was that he didn't believe that his character
should have an interracial relationship.
That's normal.
It's a normal thing to arc up about.
Apparently he would always talk positively about Hitler.
Okay, sure.
Right.
Gotcha.
Apparently he physically assaulted people in stunt work.
So apparently he'd like hit people for real and all of that.
That was a thing.
And so that often have to stop him from like doing scenes like that because it
became dangerous for other
people.
They ended up giving him...
He was even reckless with blanks because blanks in guns can still be quite dangerous.
Yeah, absolutely.
So they ended up just giving him an entirely fake gun and doing fake muzzle flashes because
he couldn't be trusted.
He didn't want to rescue a gay couple in the series because it was a sin.
They got around this storyline by telling him that the 9-11 responders didn't want to rescue a gay couple in the series because it was a sin. They got around this storyline by telling him that the 911 responders didn't pause to
ask who was gay.
Let's say you get a man like this.
That's right.
With 911.
Yeah, that's right.
That is so true, isn't it?
Yeah.
It is a quote.
He's like a puppy that you have to tell to stop chewing on that, stop chewing on that,
stop chewing on that.
But the puppy also won't stop talking about Hitler.
Yeah.
So there you go.
Apparently just a very unpleasant man, but he did have that hit movie recently.
The rescue, rescue man, child slavery.
Oh, Santa Fruta.
Yeah.
Right.
Okay.
Speaking of, I researched a whole video about that.
Yeah.
The movie Santa Fruta.
And just in depth and a look at him and the people behind it and the marketing. Speaking of, I researched a whole video about that. Yeah, the movie Sound of Freedom.
And just in depth and a look at him and the people behind it and the marketing.
Because I find that whole thing fascinating.
I probably won't release it because I'm just looking at this and I'm like, I don't want
the fucking smoke from this.
Yes, absolutely.
Yeah, I don't want to get cancelled, Mason.
Yeah, not the verge every day as well.
I don't want Lunatics coming into my comments or after me specifically.
But I might do it one day, but even researching that I'm like, God, this is wild.
Yeah.
In a bad way.
I also got the impression, I think, and this was part of the quotes about his performance
in various movies and things that he thinks he is, when he gets a role, he thinks he is
that person.
Wow. Maybe he is though.
Jesus?
Yeah.
The Christ?
Yeah, the Passion of the Christ.
Yeah, the Titular Christ.
Whoa.
Yeah, he's coming back.
There's going to be another Christ, yeah?
There's going to be another two.
They'd get anybody.
Yeah.
But I guess Mel Gibson likes him.
If you'd love Jesus, surely you'd be like, well, I'm not Jesus.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, I get that impression.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because you'd love Jesus so much you'd recognise in yourself that you'm not Jesus. Yeah, I get that. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. Because you love Jesus so much you'd recognize in yourself that you are not as good as Jesus.
Yeah, yeah, that's right.
Or at least you're different, you know?
You're a different kind of Jesus.
Yeah, that's right.
Now, but in the spirit of all of this, is this a man?
Passion of the Christ too, a different kind of Jesus.
We forgive, he's forgiven.
He seems like a bad guy.
Yeah.
Bless you though.
Yeah.
Bless you Jim Cavie.
We wish you well.
That's right.
We wish you get the help you need.
You've probably seen this article.
It's fascinating.
Send us money.
You probably made a lot of money from Passion of the Christ.
And Sound of Freedom.
So Jennifer Lopez over the years has been accused of all sorts of diva stuff, etc.
It's not uncommon for celebrities to be like, I want certain M&Ms and whatever.
I don't care about that shit.
You want a particular M&M?
Fine, whatever.
No, no, no.
She just said, I want certain M&Ms.
Her assistant had to figure it out.
Yeah.
You mean red ones?
I want certain M&Ms.
There's this fascinating article, I think it's People magazine, it's from like 1998, where they just ask her about different actresses.
Oh, and she gives her opinion.
And bearing in mind, this was like 20 plus years ago and whatever.
I think it's still pretty funny.
Are some of them actors and also singers?
Yes.
Because she's an actor and a musician and stuff.
I can read them if you please some a Hayek asked about some helmet. She said we're in we're in two different realms
She's a sexy bombshell and those are the roles. She does I do different things
It makes me laugh when she says that she was offered Selena if that's what does it to get her publicity
Then that's her thing and Cameron Diaz. She, a lucky model who's been given a lot of opportunities,
I just wish she'd done more with it.
Well, that's good, wishing well of somebody.
Bless you, I say.
Yeah.
On Madonna, she says,
do I think she's a great actress?
No!
Acting is what I do.
So I'm harder on people when they say,
oh, I can do that, I can act.
And I'm like, hey, don't spit on my craft.
On Winona Ryder, she said,
I was never a big fan of hers.
In Hollywood she's revered.
She got nominated for Oscars, but I've never heard anyone in public or among my friends
say, oh, I love her.
On Gwyneth Paltrow, she said, tell me what she's been in.
I swear to God, I don't remember, this is my inflection.
I swear I don't remember anything she was in.
Some people get hot by association.
I heard more about her relationship with Brad Pitt than I ever heard about her work.
On Claire Danes, I feel like I see a lot of the same thing with every character that she
does.
On Sandra Bullock, she said, no matter how big I get, you have to fight for things you
want.
You can't expect things to be handed to you on a platter, even if you fill theaters.
There's always somebody like me ready to kick down the door and steal the job from right under you and
then Jennifer Lopez on Jennifer Lopez she says I'm the best I feel like I feel
like I could do anything any kind of role I'm fearless I have the start of
glow I'll get better as I go along because I'm open to getting better well
I like that confidence 1990s Jennifer Lopez agree do you also I mean it so? I mean, it's sort of I'm sure they didn't.
I'm sure they didn't go to her and say,
hey, Jennifer Lopez, do you have any thoughts on Hollywood?
And she went, well, no, to write a bad
Gwyneth Paltrow bad, you know, I don't know.
I think I was naming people and she went, yeah, no, absolutely.
But I don't think she would have just straight up started belittling them.
She's too savvy to do that now.
That's also so, you know, anyway.
Really riding high off, um, Anaconda.
Yeah.
Anaconda.
Well, I know her new show hasn't been selling well or something and people are
making fun of her documentary because she's like, I'm real and people are like,
we don't think you are real.
Oh my God.
I'm not wondering.
You're a ghost.
Yeah.
And we're afraid we're going to boy, what are we going to buy tickets to being
haunted in a, in a haunted stadium? I don't think so. Jennifer Lopez, cause you're a ghost. Yeah. And we're afraid. What are we going to buy tickets to being haunted in a haunted stadium?
I don't think so, Jennifer Lopez, because you're a ghost.
Bless you.
Bless you and we forgive you.
Here's one.
It's nice that her and Ben Affleck are happy.
I agree.
If they even are.
We don't know.
Ben Affleck's happy to smoke and drink a cup of coffee.
I think that is cool.
Everything else to him is just gravy, I think.
Certainly. Johnny Depp Mason. I'm proud Mason. Now, there's stories. Sure. There's incidents. There's
court cases. There's some funny ones that we can talk about. Sort of. Well, we know that on the
last Pirates of the Caribbean movie, he really phoned it in and had an earpiece and they just
fed him lines. As opposed to the first movie, or even the first three, I guess, where he crafted
the character and all of that.
He's really kind of just like, whatever at this point.
But in 2018, two of Depp's former bodyguards sued him for unpaid wages and unsafe working conditions.
Among other complaints, the two bodyguards claimed in their suit that they were required to perform tasks that was beyond the scope of their capacity as bodyguards.
Including being asked to repeatedly drive vehicles that contained illegal substances, open containers and minors.
Depp was sued also for allegedly hitting and verbally insulting a crew member under the
influence of alcohol in the set of City of Lies in 2018.
Well, it's all worth it because we all remember the movie City of Lies.
2018, yeah.
Yeah, 2018, sure.
Real movie.
Yeah, absolutely.
Sounds legit.
Sounds legit.
Sounds like a good movie. Yeah, absolutely. Sounds legit. Sounds legit.
Sounds like a good movie.
Yeah, I guess.
This is one where whenever you talk about him, it opens a can of worms.
Every divorced dad within a hundred mile radius comes at you.
But he sucks.
I don't like him.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, no.
And I'm not just talking about the court case.
I'm just talking in general.
Generally bad.
Look at the shit he said about Robin Polanski.
Do your own research.
Marlon Brando.
Oh, one of your faves.
Yeah, man.
Just a real piece of shit, this guy.
But a diva?
Yes. There's a difference.
He, I mean, I know he did that one thing, like he had, he was kind to some
Native American people at one point or something. Do you remember that? He did that one thing, like he had, he was kind to some Native American
people at one point or something.
Do you remember that?
He did that maybe?
Yeah, maybe, sure.
Yeah.
Similarly, he was fed his lines in Apocalypse Now because he just turned up unprepared and
just would do whatever.
Heck of a movie though.
Yeah.
He read his lines in Superman.
Off a baby.
Off a baby because he didn't bother to learn them.
Christopher Reeve famously in an interview was asked like, what was it like to work with
Marlon Brando? And he was like, he sucks. And he didn't say it later.
He said it like at the time.
Yeah, the movies were coming out.
It was like, I was looking forward to working with somebody. And I think, you know, it was
something along the lines of, if you've got that kind of gravitas, and like, you could
really elevate a set. And he really set an example. And he was like, no, he sucks. I
didn't like him, but he yeah yeah yeah and there's a
whole story I think do go on have an episode on it the podcast if you haven't
heard it the island of Dr. Moran. Yeah I was on that episode. Oh were you? Yeah you got it.
Hang on a sec one second the dogs barking my dogs are barking too mate. That's right so I
have heard that episode yes James. Olly relax. Hello Olly look at you look at you oh she came in and then she just
immediately left yes you just wanted to see we were here. Oh it you. Oh, she came in and then she just immediately left.
She just wanted to see who we were here.
She saw who it was.
Oh, come on, mate.
No, no, no, no, no.
So yeah, what do you remember of that?
Aside from he showed up late and wouldn't say any of his lines or get out of his chair
or...
He's like, what are all these bloody monsters doing here?
I know he wore like whatever he wanted and that movie's a mess and only Val Kilmer was
having a bad time of it as well and just um.
James I couldn't tell you because I was on the episode many moons ago.
Yeah that also has its own documentary I think it came out in like 2014.
Everybody lost their minds on that movie.
Chevy Chase Mason.
One of the best.
At what I didn't specify.
Well yeah, everybody's speaking badly about him.
Yep, correct.
All the time.
Nobody's ever said a kind word about Chevy Chase.
Doesn't seem that way, does it?
No.
He's always getting into a scuffle.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And there's that famous story about him and Bill Murray got into a scuffle.
Two bad blokes.
Bad for different reasons.
So famously on Community, he would often talk about like, he didn't want to be there
and blah blah blah and this is beneath him, but it's also like, you don't have to be there.
No, you can just leave, they'll write you out.
What are you doing?
Which they did, eventually.
Yeah, they did, yeah.
Like him and Dan Harmon argued all the time back and forth.
Also I would say, he's good in that show.
Like he's probably some of his funniest, if not the funniest stuff he's ever done.
Apparently he would use the N-word on set.
Oh that's actually bad.
Yeah.
That's not really diva behaviour in races.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,

wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, don't think he could have either. Because if one person tells you something, okay, that doesn't mean it extends to like
an entire community.
Yeah, I feel like if they say you can, they're expecting you not to.
Oh, because you have an understanding that it's not something that you should.
Spiritually, you could say it, but you shouldn't literally actually say it.
Wow.
Okay.
Well, you know, you should probably speak to Chevy Chase about this.
I would never.
But in the 2018 profile on Chevy Chase, on Chase's Community Co-Star Donald Glover, the
New Yorker reported that Chase would make racist jokes between takes to throw Glover
off and once told the actor, people think you're funnier because you're black.
I saw a quote from Donald Glover.
I wish I had it here because when I was doing my research where he was just like a very it was like
Look listen, I understand. He's finding it difficult because like it's in a new era of comedy
Yeah, like fading and whatever and he handled it like very great. He was just like this is an old guy who sucks basically
That's right. Yeah, but in a very I mean speaking of speaking of all guys who saw what do you got?
Well, I was gonna say this week
Jerry Seinfeld's gone on a real
Frosted nice. Okay, is that is that in that was in my what we read? Oh, did you see I watched it?
What's unfrosted you want to save it for what we read? Yeah. Okay. Let's say before we'll talk about that
But yeah, just just remind me Jerry Seinfeld. You can't say anything anymore
James Franco who died? Yeah, he died. It's very sad Jerry Seinfeld, you can't say anything anymore.
James Franco, who died?
Yeah, he died. It's very sad. Who knows what kind of a wonderful actor he could have been.
He did a movie with Tyrese Gibson.
An Ananopolis or something. It's about boxing in World War II. I don't know.
Okay. Look, my favorite part about all these stories is that they're all for movies that nobody cares about.
It's people blowing their tops and being awful for just some thing that probably isn't even on streaming now. Yeah. What's it called? Annapolis or something like that. Okay. Annapolis? Yeah,
maybe. That's a place I think. Annapolis. Annapolis. Okay. Annapolis. Okay. In 2006. Okay.
Funny Spider-Man here. Tarius Gibson spoke to Elle magazine and he said, whenever we'd have to get in the
ring for a boxing scene and even during practice, the dude was full on hitting me.
Apparently that was the thing.
He took it too far.
Apparently James Franco, not apparently he did, he later apologized and went, I went
to, this went too far.
Also because it's a bad movie.
Yeah, it seems like it.
It's a good movie.
You could be like, well, we're just in the moment.
And we made this great movie.
But no, they made a 5.8 out of 10, it seems, according to IMDb.
Well, that's better than average.
I guess that's a pass, isn't it? That's a pass.
If you Google James Franco, Tyrese Gibson,
the first result is Annapolis and IMDb.
James Franco and Tyrese Gibson reportedly didn't get along during filming.
And then the second article is an Uproxx article,
the story behind James Franco and Tyrese Gibson's beef so that's the only thing people
care about in this movie. It's a good movie though it's a 5.0 which is good.
I don't think it is. You know Lea Michele she's from Glee. I do. Apparently she just
bullied her way through Glee the entire time. Samantha Ware who's on. Oh and
Napples is on Disney Plus. Let's check it out. No I'm not going to.
Apparently according to Samantha Ware who was it, she left this post under her.
One of the things she said, I think it was during the Black Lives Matter protests.
She said, LMAO, remember when you when you made my first television gig a hell because
I'll never forget.
I believe you told everybody if you had the opportunity, you would shit in my wig, amongst
other traumatic microaggressions that made me answer maybe lots of macro aggression
I agree that made me question a career in Hollywood
for I
Wouldn't say that to anybody. Oh, I feel maybe a good friend. You're having a good fun. Joke good fun time
Yeah, and I've got a last one here, which is James. I will defecate in your toupee
You would never as a friend.
Mike Myers, the cat in the heart.
Maybe when he was in the cat in the heart.
No.
So Amy Hill, she played Mrs.
Kwan, the babysitter.
This is via Yahoo.
Okay.
It was so weird.
It was just the worst.
It was like I was there forever.
And my daughter was two and a half and I felt like I was missing her first
everything.
I was miserable.
I just thought it was really rude for him not to take us all into consideration. It was just a horrible, nightmarish experience. I don't think Mike got to know anybody.
He'd just be with his people and walk away. People would come and he'd just stand there.
There was a guy who held chocolates in a little Tupperware.
Whenever he needed a chocolate, he'd come running over and give him a little chocolate.
I think I remember the little chocolate part.
That's what divas are like, I guess, or people who need therapy.
I mean, that's also not to excuse any of this because I've never even fucking seen this
terrible movie, but he's in the cat in the hat outfit.
Yeah, right.
What a nightmare.
Now, I guess my question is whether this is full blown diva behavior or not, is this just
like a packet of chocolates
or if they be you know how you can go to the supermarket like a little packet of
KitKats or whatever or is it his he has a special sweet box yeah and the
assistant has bought the packet of KitKats and they've opened it up and
they put it in the sweet box and then close it over. Keep them sealed and fresh. Yeah yeah yeah yeah. I don't know.
Okay. I don't know. Also I think KitKats probably a bad example because you'd then have to unwrap the KitKats. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know. Okay. I don't know.
Also, I think KitKats probably a bad example
because you'd then have to unwrap the KitKats.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Maybe you get the fun-sized KitKats
and you get individuals.
Is that what you do or do you get a big one?
So I feel like when you get the full block,
like the really big one,
that's too much KitKat.
That is a lot of KitKat, isn't it?
Yeah, I think four is max.
That's where you're at.
Yeah.
Also, it's apparently it's-
That's the hero's amount of KitKat.
Agreed.
It's been long rumored that Mike Myers only agreed to star in The Cat in the Hat for Universal
Pictures after being sued by the studio for walking out on a proposed movie based around
his Saturday Night Live character, Dieter.
I don't know who that is.
Because I just don't know everything, alright?
You could though.
Some things I know and some things I don't.
This is fun though.
And that's it.
That's all of the Diva stuff.
Let's find out who Dieter is though. I feel gross. He That's all of the diva stuff. Okay let's find out who
Dieter is though. I feel gross. He's not one of the pump you up guys is he? I don't know.
Here we go. I do remember that. Okay right. I do remember when this happened. He's a sort of a
bespectacled guy. He looks pretentious. Right. A fictional West German television talk show.
Parody German art culture in the 1980s.
Wow.
That was Dieter.
You don't think that was gonna take off like Austin Powers?
You probably recognized that.
Yeah.
You know, but then he made the Love Guru.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, I don't think any German artist
coming in or out of his bomb, so.
Oh, okay.
It doesn't have the wide appeal you would hope for.
Just looking at the Wikipedia page for Dieter.
It's all this stuff in the case and etc.
It's all very uninteresting.
Anyways, some but not all of you are forgiven.
That's right. Bless you.
But bless you regardless.
Bless you.
And we hope you give you Mike Myers.
Everybody can rise above it.
We should give Mike Myers because I think he was in the Katmahatsu.
Yeah.
But that's it.
And some of the others.
Yeah. Someone could's it. And some of the others. Yeah.
Someone could figure it out.
But not to say that we agree with any of that.
Alright, should we move it along?
Let's move it along.
What are we doing?
What are we reading?
What are we gonna read?
I'm doing a thing.
What are we reading today?
Now as promised to me moments ago, I told you I would talk about the movie Unfrosted.
Okay, now this for people who don't know, this is the latest in a long line of
documentary about a product.
Not a documentary.
Is it not?
No.
Oh, it's a mockumentary.
Is it not the story of Pop Tarts?
It is, but it's not.
It's like...
I misspoke, I shouldn't have said documentary.
It's a mockumentary.
It's like, you know, like the
weird out movie.
I guess Blackberry is a documentary
of sorts. Yes, that's that's like
an accurate. It's a product of
biopic.
Thank you for saying that.
But so this is a fake.
Yeah, it's like weird out.
You were saying weird else.
Yeah, but that movie was good.
OK, right.
This is a fake. This is a fake
history of pop tarts is what you're
saying. Yes.
OK, great.
Because I guess the original the real history of pop tarts would have you're saying. Yes. Okay, great. That's right. Because I guess the original, the real history of pop tarts would have been like
somebody made them in a kitchen somewhere and someone went that's pretty
good idea let's mass produce it. Yep. And then they did. Yeah exactly. Get them in a
shop. Get them if you want them. Yeah. I don't think I've ever had one. Yeah not bad.
Do you have the quote? Because I've got the quote from what Jerry Seinfeld's been up to this week.
Let's give us the quote. Jerry Seinfeld's been doing the rounds this week, Mason.
Doing all sorts of social media.
He's a canny lad, isn't he?
And he's rich.
And he's rich.
And you can do anything when you're rich.
But not anything because you get cancelled.
Oh, that's true.
Yeah.
It said, he said, it used to be you'd go home at the end of the day, most people would go,
oh, cheers is on. Oh, mash is on. And I of the day, most people would go, oh, cheers is on.
Oh, mash is on.
And I love mash.
You know that.
Oh, Mary Tyler Moore is on.
A lot of bangers in mash.
Yeah, all in the cartoon with the monkeys.
All in the family is on.
You just expect there'd be some funny stuff you can watch on TV tonight.
This is a result of, and there's not now apparently, this is the result of the extreme left and
PC political correct crap.
And people worrying
So much about offending other people and people have obviously pointed out this week that Larry David who co-created
Seinfeld just finished curfew enthusiasm which went for more than 20 and is like it's the you know, he's saying
He's actually doing comedy where it's like this is pushing the boundaries of what people find
Yeah, acceptable and what you can talk about you could point it like it's always sunny in Philadelphia
You know what I mean? I think a lot of people have said that
Well, I think when you give examples because there's so many examples of great comedy is way better
Yeah, also this and this because there's more of it. I said but it's less laugh track II
Yeah, you know, it's more, you know, joke dense
multi camera body, single camera sitcoms that are just sort of, you know, they've got a
slightly more realistic bent to them or what have you or just shows that are very funny
but are not necessarily like you would you say succession is a that's a that's a funny
show. It's not like it's not it's not a sitcom, you know, that sort of thing. And I think
people if you say, okay
What about curb your enthusiasm or what about or so I sunny in Philadelphia?
People will say well actually because they started because they started years ago. They don't count
Oh, yeah, but I think the difference with the difference between
something you can't say anything anymore and blah blah blah and all that sort of stuff the reason that
always sunny and curb have
Succeeded this long is because the characters
do awful things and they continue on, is because they never prosper.
You know what I mean?
The Always Sunny characters, they have a scheme and they do funny outlandish stuff, but at
the end they're always just back in the bar eating garbage and just failures and living in living in a bin or
whatever. Yeah. And it's the same with Larry. He's rich, but nobody miserable. He's miserable
and nobody likes him. Yeah. You know, absolutely. Whereas I think a lot of people want these
characters to be really offensive and also succeed. Oh, and as a result of that, yeah,
prosper and be cool. And everybody loves them in the,
that's what they want.
They want characters who can say awful things
and be celebrated for that.
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, there's so many good comedies,
I mean, there's Barry community,
I know it's a little bit older now, like The Good Place.
Like there's, you could, I could, Mason,
I wish I could, I wish we had the time.
That 90s show, it's probably incredible could Mason. I wish I could wish we had the time. That's that 90s show. It's probably incredible Mason
But so I so look a man who can who's rich enough to say anything and make any point
I watched the movie unfrosted which like as you mentioned, it's the story of pop tarts, right?
Oh, here we go. This is a tweet from Brian Lynch. Okay, I believe is some sort of Hollywood guy
Oh screenwriter, I know Brian
He says I want to laugh and can't find anything on TV currently on,
I can't find anything currently on TV, but Abbott Elementary, Girls 5,
have a killing it.
I think you should leave.
Hacks the rehearsal, always sunny.
What we do in the shadows, Dave shrinking, Harley Quinn,
Star Trek, Lower Decks, Only Murders in the Building,
this full solar opposites, The Simpsons, Ted, Resident Alien,
Sex Education, Conan O'Brien must go, White Lotus, college girls
jury duty, etc.
Reservation dogs, the after party, big mouth, cunk on earth, etc.
Russian doll just keeps going.
Yeah, but what else?
Yeah, exactly.
But see, I think a lot of this stuff is something, that's the thing.
I think, you know, stuff like I think you should leave or the rehearsal.
It's pushing new boundaries, but not in the sense of like, well,
we've got to offend people.
No, you know, but just being
because just being just making
something that is offensive is also
I find and probably not everybody
feels like it's just boring.
It's boring. It's boring.
And it's not even it's not saying
anything.
And speaking of boring and not
saying anything, unfrosted.
Right. And look, I guess we're
talking about I'd love to have like
a strong opinion because like it's not even dreadful, I love to have like a strong opinion. Because like, it's
not even dreadful. I wasn't even like, this is fucking unwatchable. Because it's not.
It's fine. Like it just washes kind of over you. It's based on a joke, which I looked
up, which he talks about. A Seinfeld joke. Yeah. Stand up from a few years from like
a decade back or so. Okay. When you could still say this sort of edgy stuff. Yeah. Where
he talks about the creation of Pop Tarts and what must have happened and whatever. And from like a decade back or so. Okay. When you could still say this sort of edgy stuff. Yeah.
Where he talks about the creation of Pop Tarts and what must have happened and whatever.
And the joke itself is like, it's, you know what?
Okay.
This show is like, this movie, sorry, it's like the Seinfeld stand up bits from Seinfeld,
but that's it.
Right.
So it's just like, oh, what if this is this though? And I can't even
think of a good example. Okay, so there's moments where like, they do the origin of Tony of the
Tigers, they're great. Right? Because Hugh Grant plays Tony of the Tiger and they film him in the
commercial and they're like, why don't you improv something? He goes, they're great. And they go,
that's perfect. That's in. And it's like, wow, that's the origin of they're great. There's a
moment where he gets handed a
cup of like juice like of orange drink. Who's this? Jerry Seinfeld. I love Jerry Seinfeld.
Or whoever he's playing and he drinks it and he goes hmm there's a tang to that and they're like
that's a great name for a drink. It's like that. Oh those are bad. Yeah it's not even a joke.
That's not a joke. Right? So it's that and there's like a revolving door of like amazing cameos
I know John Hamm is in it. John Hamm is doing is just don't he does Don Draper in it
He just does and it's and there's some like
Okay jokes in it and this it's clearly like it is a love letter to Seinfeld's love of like
60s like kitsch products. There's like x-ray specs and silly party and all that kind of stuff.
So this is just references.
Yeah, but there's a storyline because it's like a nuclear arms race between Kellogg's
and fucking Post to make the first Pop-Tart.
Oh, I love that.
Right?
Did it make you hungry for Pop-Tarts?
No.
And that's the other thing.
Like, what baffles me from this?
I'm not even mad about it.
It's confusing. You seem'm not even mad about it. It's confusing.
You seem a little bit mad about it.
No, it's genuinely confusing because with the money that he has and his creative, amazing brain, he could do anything.
And with that, he's done a really tame, fictional a commercial for a dogshit food substitute
for nobody.
That's wild, right?
Yeah.
So like why, you're not even saying anything.
And if it was really funny, like Weird Al the movie, right?
Yes.
Which I think these are similar.
That doesn't have like overt messaging in any which way, but it's fucking wall to wall
with jokes.
That's true, yeah. overt messaging in any which way, but it's fucking wall the wall with jokes. And the cameos, the cameos of this are just like, pretty much a comedian walks on dressed as
the fucking Kellogg's chicken or whatever, and then goes cock-a-doodle-fucking whatever,
I'm this comedian and then they leave. Like Bill Burr plays JFK and he does like a pretty good JFK.
Stuff like Ronnie Chang's in it.
He's pretty funny because he's funny, right?
But it's like that.
But like, again, it's nothing.
Kellogg's itself has a really bizarre backstory as like a Mormon anti-masturbatory cult basically.
But none of that is like touched on at all, probably.
Touched on.
Yeah.
We don't want anything to be touched on.
It's just like, and I don't, I don't even, I wasn't even sure.
I don't think this is like actually a commercial.
I think it's like, I don't think Kellogg's like paid him to make this cause like, why
would you?
No.
It's just confusing to be like, I don't understand comedy.
Comedy is bad and not, not saying anything like I don't understand comedy, comedy's bad and not saying anything
and I can't say anything and but like you made this.
If you made something that was incredible, I think then at least you could go well I
made this incredible thing.
And it's also fascinating to me that he's never been known for doing anything Edgy.
That's exactly.
Like if you say to somebody what's a Seinfeld joke they'll go oh what's the deal with.
They do the airplane food.
The airplane food exactly, that's right.
Which he might not have even ever said.
But that's the vibe he gives. Yeah. Nobody's ever gone,
I'll nobody's ever, I never see anybody share a stand-up routine of Seinfeld and it's like wow that really cut to the cord.
No, never. So it's, I don't know. I'm just, it's just the whole thing is confusing.
I know I've watched a bunch of interviews with him this week.
And one of the things I saw him say in multiple interviews was what I'm going to
really enjoy doing is like, I'm going to read the reviews and I'm going to look
for the nastiest reviews and I'm going to love that and I'm going to read them.
It's going to bring me great joy.
And like, first of all, I don't believe you.
Like I don't think that people being like, this is boring.
It's reviewing terribly, which doesn't necessarily mean it.
I think there are people who will probably like this, because again, it's not even dreadful.
It's a guy you know.
Yeah, it's a guy you know.
So Jerry Seinfeld said he wanted Unfrosted to be nothing like Barbie.
Yeah, oh, there's that also.
But also, it is kind of like Barbie Barbie if Barbie didn't have any jokes. Yeah
What what you're describing seems quite silly and surreal it is so then that's what Barbie was
Yeah, it is there is like it is a surreal because Barbie is also this kind of retro
1960s world and this this is it's literally set in the 60s. So it does it's not dissimilar
But it's not like the anti-Barbie
where you're like, oh man, this is really...
It's again, it's like, I don't know. I don't know. I don't have a strong opinion on it.
This thing, yeah.
But yeah, if he...
Would you say it destroyed woke culture though?
I mean, yeah.
Yeah, that's what I figured.
Single-handedly.
Yeah, it feels like something that would easily do that.
Yeah. But I don't I don't know
Can you imagine getting joy from reading your view and it's a review?
It's like I'm looking for the worst reviews and people are like this is nothing. Yeah, does that bring you joy?
I don't think it would because like a cutting review where someone's like you've pushed it too far and I found this offensive
Yeah, maybe you maybe you do get a kick out of that from being like I'm pushing boundaries
Yeah, if you read a view that's like, yeah, who cares?
Like, what do you get out of that?
I don't know.
Does that make you happy?
Yeah, because I, yeah, maybe you made a nothing thing for nobody.
Yeah, well maybe it does because you're like, at a certain point, maybe you just go, well,
I've still got a billion dollars, don't I?
Yeah, good.
Yeah.
But like, okay, great.
But that's the thing.
I think maybe that is what it is.
Like it's it's it part of this is just kind of he can't push the boundaries anymore.
He's never been known for that.
And he's this element of comedy, you know, the world of comedy has passed him by to a certain point.
Like nobody's there.
The stuff he does is just a tool now.
Like some comedians do observational stuff, but a lot of comedians now do deeply personal
things and what have you.
And there's layers to the jokes.
So maybe now he's, because he can't push the envelope, maybe he's just like, I can do whatever
I want and make whatever I want and say whatever I want and now I'm rich.
If you paid for this at Netflix, I mean, is this what you like?
Are you happy about this?
Like really?
You know, cause again, it's not reviewing what I don't know.
Maybe it'll, it'll probably do numbers or at least initially.
Cause he said here, this is the result of the extreme left and PC crap and people
worrying so much about offending other people when you write a script and it goes
into four or five hands, committee groups,
here's our thought about this joke. Well, that's the end of your comedy.
So maybe, I guess maybe this is exactly, like maybe he went to Netflix and he said,
I want to make a thing and it's got to be exactly the way I want and I will not have any changes made by producers or anything like that.
And then this is what this is.
Great. Yeah, then you did it, man. Well done, I guess.
Also, he did date a 17 year old school girl when he was 38. He did do that. That you did it, man. Well done, I guess. Also, he did date a 17-year-old schoolgirl when he was 38.
He did do that, yes.
That's the thing that happened.
That's actually, yeah.
So, you know.
And maybe in whatever state that was,
it wasn't technically illegal.
But if you have to use the phrase,
well, that's not technically illegal.
That's come up a lot this week.
And a lot of it.
And I've seen people defending it.
I saw one that was like, you're just jealous.
And it's like, I'm sure if you were 38 and you really wanted to date a 17 year old,
you probably could, right?
You could find somebody to do it.
Most people aren't looking in that and going, oh, damn, I wish a normal person isn't
like, I'm jealous of that.
It's like, that's a freak. Like, why would you do that?
That's a normal reaction.
Anyway.
I can't wait to see what he does next.
A boring thing for nobody.
Maybe another boring thing.
Maybe another season of the one where he shows you all the cars he has.
Again, that's also, I find that like, it depends who's on it.
If there's somebody funny on it, then it can sometimes... But even then it's like, I don't even, these two aren't even.
Well, I mean, I've seen a few episodes of that show and I think, yeah, again, I think
depending on the guest, I think it can be quite interesting, but there was a lot of
stuff of like, oh, at what point can I take credit for my jokes or whatever? Like it's
like, you know, it's this kind of vibe of he's he's one of those guys I think he's like a JK Rowling rolling whatever it is. Yeah, where at a certain point
He's got so much money and so much success. Mmm, and he did it all himself. Well, that's exactly it
He's he's he's
Developed the mindset of like well, I made every correct choice and every I've made there's no element of chance
You know, it's just you know, my level of skill. My instincts are good. My instincts are good. And I've
made every correct choice and blah, blah, blah, where it's like, no, there was some
luck. Yeah. Like if you had a bad meeting with an executive, they might have just gone
run out like this. Yeah. And you know, and they let the show run like it didn't do well
to like season three or four. That wouldn't't happen now You wouldn't allow a show to slowly find its feet on network television
Yeah, yeah every week that doesn't happen now. Yeah, like he's shown now you put on Seinfeld that would be canceled immediately
There's no way that would get through
You know with those numbers. I mean, it's just not
Regardless of what you think about it like it took years to build
that's exactly again a product of his environment and luck and time and working on the craft and
bringing other people in.
Yeah.
You know, whatever, whatever, whatever.
Anyway, you bring anything else?
I watched, I didn't know there was a season four of Star Trek Lower Decks.
Oh, right.
Yeah.
I watched the whole season of that yesterday.
I think I've already watched that.
Well, it was good.
And there's one more season that has maybe canceled or something. I think so, yeah.
But I was very pleasantly surprised.
Did you watch the one where they become real?
Was that in that season?
No, that's in Strange New Worlds.
That's an episode of Strange New Worlds.
That's unrelated.
Do you know what it's time for then?
What's it time for?
Letters.
I'll do a Letters theme then.
The classic one was,
Letters, oh letters, we love you.
Some letters, they're only a day away.
We know they're here right now, we're gonna do letters.
If you do want to reach the show, you can simply hashtag
Weekly Planet Pod on Twitter or weeklyplanetpodatgmail.com.
So simple.
Mason, do you have any letters?
No.
And if you don't, I have some.
Okay, go ahead, I'll find some.
This is from Ethan Wentzlaff who says hashtag weekly planet pod have you two been watching X-Men 97
genuinely the best Marvel content in years? No. I started it. Oh did you? Yeah I really like it,
I'm only a couple in but I really like it and I like because there's so many episodes that
exactly I haven't yet watched. Also I wasn't sure how I'd feel about the animation because it is
that 2D 3D style but it great. I think it works really well.
Voice cast is amazing. Storylines seem to be good.
You don't really need to have like I'm vaguely familiar with what happened.
Yes, absolutely. 20 plus years.
And they're assuming you have a vague.
Yeah, but they fill you in and whatever.
They're like this guy's dead and whatever.
But yeah, we will.
We'll probably both watch it and talk about it in a bit more depth.
I'm not sure if we'll do a whole episode depending on what's going on.
God, it's good this week to just go, a good thing.
A good thing is out.
I don't have to go into a weird, bitter rant, Mason.
You will anyway.
Yeah, but not about this yet.
This next one, Mason, is from Carathy who says,
hashtag weekly planet pod.
I'm eager to hear Mr. Sunday movies rants when he's in his late 60s or 70s still doing the pod.
His rants are only going to get better with age.
More rants please, lol.
Oh yeah, people did enjoy my, it wasn't a rant Mason.
It was just me spinning my wheels last week
at all the great things that I do.
I don't think this will get better.
I think this will get worse as I get older.
I think there'll be more petty
and people will be like, he's lost it. I think that too. That's what's gonna happen. I think no one's
gonna want this in their 60s. I'm in my 60s and 70s. That's what I think. It's not gonna
stop me. But yeah, if I'm still doing this, I can't imagine I would have changed too much,
I hope. So true. Yeah, man. Yep. James, here's some emails. What do you think about that?
Are you afraid? Yeah, I'm up there. That's what it is.
Well, this one is from Nick and it says a big thanks to Ben and Lawrence.
Oh, that's all right.
Hello guys, hope you're doing well. I'm a long time listener watcher. I'm in film
school and recently just had to edit a video essay. And after 16 hours of work on
a six minute video, it made me realize how amazing Ben and Lawrence are. I always
love to hear you guys shout them out after each video and podcast. But I would
like to personally let everyone know they are hard workers and we all need to thank
them.
So thanks.
Anyway, I wanted to thank you and give everyone who works on your content for giving me years
of laughs throughout the toughest times.
I attach my video in case you would like to watch.
So that's https://youtu.be slash capital R 5438 ZU capital M capital V zk question mark si equals capital V 0 p 8 b 8 o capital
B capital Z capital I capital C capital J capital MS capital TH.
Yeah, we got it.
We got it.
Okay, I hope everybody enjoys that one.
It's gonna be good.
Yeah, no, Ben and Lauren's doing an incredible job.
And so does Matt as well who edits a bunch of videos as well.
Who else have you got? Fidel edits. Yeah, Fidel edits Lauren's do an incredible job as well as Matt as well who edits a bunch of videos as well Yeah, Colin's edits. Fidel edits. Yeah Fidel edits. So many edits, but they're just they're a whiz. Yeah
They're so good at turning. I think I've said this before but they're so good at turning half-form thoughts into actual jokes
Absolutely. Yeah, you know sometimes we ramble and I go
We're definitely gonna cut that out because that wasn't a real joke
But then it becomes a real joke because they do it they do it they make the joke they do it's my funny folks
I agree very good at their job makes a big difference
Yeah, and those they have to do it because we're not we don't film ourselves
So they they just have to yes. What are we gonna do make little finger puppets?
No, be like this one's mad max or whatever. No, we won't know. I don't think we would I do that. Yeah
Yeah, we're not doing that. Yeah, I'd rather not. How do you feel when you edit a video?
Do you well, I don't do it as much. No, is it satisfying that? It is. Yeah. I like to do one every now and then just to like
Just to kind of not lose that if I need to do it. For sure. Yeah. There it is
Definitely satisfying whenever you find it's roughly and let's give or take it's like an hour per minute
Roughly, but some are quicker than others and whatever and then when you get to the intro at the end you slap it on
You're like, oh my god. I'm in the outro I should say.
Any kind of pre-made outro situation.
Yeah, incredible.
Oh my god, yes indeed.
Yeah, because sometimes it takes you ages to just find like, and this happens a lot
in Caravan of Garbage and other things, but just to find one particular image and then
you have to make it.
And then so sometimes I'll spend like a couple hours photoshopping a picture that's up for
like a second.
Yeah, right, right.
You know what I mean?
Again, something more that I used to do that those guys do now.
So true.
Instead of me.
Yeah.
He's an ML Jones.
Yeah.
This is from Nevin.

Hello, James and Mason.
This week I began the process of moving out of my parents place into a house with a
couple of friends.
I'm not bringing most of the posts that I had in my room, mainly because they're
shabby and torn up, but I do like the idea of getting new posters and framing them.
My question is what movie posters would you recommend I frame and put on my walls? It could be any movie. I haven't seen it
yet. I'll make sure to check it out.
God, that's a tough question.
Sometimes I'll see a band t-shirt that is so cool. I'm like, I should get into that
band so I could wear the t-shirt.
Yeah, you could just wear it anyway.
Exactly. You know, one of my favorite movie posters of all time, and we talked about it
on Caravan of Garbage, it's the original poster for The Rocketeer.
I'm literally looking at that. It's incredible.
Yes. Art Deco vibe. It's not like a poster with all the actors on it. It's kind of this
Art Deco illustration of the Rocketeer, sort of close up of the Rocketeer flying out into the
world. And it's summer 1991. Oh my God. I remember seeing that as a kid. What an incredible
poster. I'm going to get one of those posters actually. I've got space. I've got space in the wall.
I'm going to get one of those. I was going to say it's a dying art, but I don't think it is.
MoviePoster.com wants $756. I don't think it's a dying art. I think there's just so many of them
and there's multiple variants for like, Matt Ferguson does a bunch of great posters if you
want to see. And he does like posters for old old movies like for re-releases and whatever.
Back to the Future is great, great poster there.
Jaws classic Mason.
Jaws a classic poster.
The Why So Serious Heath Ledger Joker poster.
Clockwork Orange if you're into that.
Not me, that was a rude time.
So here's the thing, do you want to go with?
Do you want cliche?
Do you want cliche? Do you want cliche?
Then you want that one.
You want...
Boondock Saints.
Boondock Saints for sure.
Pulp Fiction poster with Boondock.
Oh my god.
If you want an early 2000 cliche dorm room poster set.
Donnie Darko obviously.
I mean Star Wars have so many.
You just pick the one that you like.
Yeah, that's right.
You know?
God, we could do an episode on this, but again, we'd be describing posters, wouldn't we?
That's right.
And we'd be bad at it.
Oh, the Lorax, that's good.
It's got a big mustache.
That's a good one.
Don't you think?
The Thing's a good poster.
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah.
How do you feel about original Spider-Man, Toad Maguire climbing up the building one?
It's got the reflection on the building.
Not bad.
Pretty good.
Truman Show is good.
How about this?
Ocean's Eleven, but it's the Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra one.
That's a good one.
That's probably worth a million dollars.
Probably worth a million dollars, I agree.
The Indiana Jones ones are all good.
Even the bad movies are good, but they're not even bad Indiana Jones movies.
They're all good movies.
I would say, find a movie that you love. And then just Google all the variations on the posters.
Fan posters are often very good.
But I would also say if you're going to put it up on the wall, people are going to ask
you a lot of questions about the movie in question so you better know your stuff.
Or just lie.
Yeah, just lie.
That's what I do.
I lie all the time.
What if they know the movie better than you do?
Well, they don't.
Just say, no, you don't. No, you don't. You don't get it the way I lie all the time. What if they know the movie better than you do? Well, they don't. Just say, no, you don't.
No, you don't. You don't get it the way I get it.
Yeah. Say, I watched the director's cut and if they said there's no director's cut, you
go, yeah, for some.
That's right.
For some, yeah.
Yeah, for some.
Shut them down.
Yeah, that's right.
Any other letters, Mason?
Here's an email from Christian.
Oh my God. I have to have dinner with my parents, Mason.
I know.
But is this important?
Is this Christian?
This is very important. Your parents are on the verge of death, but this is very important.
Okay, good. Not the parents death thing, the important thing.
Yeah, yeah. Christian says he works for a company who owns Tubi.
Oh yeah.
And in speaking about all the stuff we talked about last week, we went down to Tubi.
I heard you mentioned Stars on Mars hosted by William Shatner. So it's a reality show, which is Christian's company made, which took celebrities and placed
them in the most foreign inhospitable and unearthly location imaginable, Coober Pedy.
In actuality, the surreal landscape was simply meant to be a proxy for Mars, and the show
took full advantage of it and proved to be of almost moderate interest to the viewing
public.
Wow, there you go.
There you go.
So worth checking out. Probably not. Moderate interest? I do have more moderate interest than the viewing public. Wow, there you go. There you go. So worth checking out. Probably not.
Moderate interest?
I do have more moderate interest than I did before.
I had zero interest earlier.
Now it's moderate interest.
That's interesting to be like, yeah, this is basically Mars.
Yeah, I know, close enough, right?
You could go to a target country down the road, but this is basically Mars.
That was important, and I'm glad you read it out even though you didn't want to it's true
Yeah, all right. Should we leave it there? We should absolutely leave it there folks. Thank you so much for listening
We absolutely appreciate it. We have to leave it there. It's a shame. Yeah, it's a shame. But James got family commitments

are able to produce the show from the Bluey house
since they are the only handful of real Australians,
the Hemsworth, these dudes,
and those rascally animated hounds.
It's also amazing that the working title
for Bluey was originally, and that just cutsounds. It's also amazing that their work, the working title for Bluey was originally,
