Welcome back everybody to another episode of the weekly planet where we talk movies and comics and TV shows. My name is James, also known as Mr. Sunday and with me as always, it's Nick Mason. It's great to be here. It's the wintery wintery day. It's a little bit wintery.

Yeah, but that's all right. Yeah. We're okay with it. We're okayry day. It's a little bit wintry. Yeah, but that's all right. Yeah. We're okay with it. We're okay. We don't even mind. We don't mind. It's cosy in here. We've got cosy podcast vibes.

What's cosier than a podcast? Cosier than a podcast? Anything. Come on. Bed, sitting around a fire. A picture of a tractor. That's not bad, actually. Yeah, sure.

Okay. Yeah. Hunting for frogs down at the pond. Down at the tractor picture. That's not bad actually. Yeah, sure. Okay. Yeah. Hunting for frogs down at the pond. Down at the tractor picture. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Just the coziest things you can think of. Exactly right.

Drinking hot chocolate around that picture of a tractor. This is all good stuff. Sitting in a tavern in your across from picture of a tractor. Yeah, oh my God. Just quickly, taking a cozy. I'm going to be at the London podcasting festival. Oh, that's cozy, is it? That's very cozy.

It's London, the coziest city on earth apparently. That's on the 14th of September. On the cozy scale? Yeah, on the cozy scale. It's right up there. That's sold out. I'm sorry. So I got sold out pretty quickly.

Are you sorry or are you not sorry? Well, I'm worried that now I'm like, oh no, people are going to come. Absolutely. I mean, I've got to be good. I mean, first of all, there's people who are going to show up who've bought tickets. Yeah. And they've got an expectation you'll be good. And then there'll be throngs of additional people who didn't get tickets who are mad at you. Yeah.

So once you've, you know, even if you suffer through the live podcast and you're like, oh, that was tough, but I did say a joke. Yeah. So that's good. Then you open the door and you need to torn it. You torn it to pieces. Oh my god. Yeah. In a cozy London alley.

You're torn to shreds. I don't want that. Anyway, that sold it. They opened balcony seats and then they sold out. I'm sorry. But the good news is there are going to be more UK shows that will be announced soon. And there is a show that I'm doing with Plumbing the Death Star the night before in the same venue on Friday the 13th.

Oh, I'm in that for the entire thing. Just if people are... Okay, sure, yeah. Obviously you can't make the trip so it's going to be, it's Joel, Jackson and myself. That's right. So we're going to be touring and doing kind of a blend of Plumbing the Death Star and Sands Pants and the Weekly Planet. That's right.

That's the idea. So a horrible, not a homonculus, but a chimera. Oh yeah, chimera. Oh, yeah. Chimera. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So that's all fun stuff. Mason. Yeah. What do we do? What else? Didn't you have a new thing? Something that you wanted to promote? Oh, thank you to those who bought tickets, by the way. It was very surprising. You're welcome. I bought 100 tickets as a prank. I bought the front few rows as a prank. Oh, wow. Yeah, they're going to be empty. Cool. Good. Good. Yeah. What do you got, Mason? So I've a few

times I've been on a podcast called reanimate. So my friend Lisa's podcast. Oh, yeah. She goes through the filmography of noted character actor Jeffrey Combs. It's a very niche podcast. But she's running a little film festival in Melbourne on July 19 to July the 21st, the first annual Jeffrey Combs Film Festival. And so it's over a weekend, and she's gonna play some of the Jeffrey Combs classics. So we got, we got Fright Mare from 1983.

We got Dr. Mordred, which is a, it started out as a Dr. Strange movie, but then the company making it lost the rights midway through, so they had to change it. I love that. That's pretty good, right? The Phantom Empire, Bride of Reanimator, Lurking Fear and Reanimator. I'm had to change it. I love that. That's pretty good Right the Phantom Empire bright of reanimated lurking fear and reanimator I'm hoping to make it to at least one of those but which one you'll never tell I'll never tell you have to buy tickets

So everything but you can buy tickets to any of those days or all three. Yep And yeah, I think it'll be a good good local thing to support. It's at the Motley Bow house in Carlton excellent, and it's a lovely little venue. So people should get tickets, I reckon. I'll do it. Will you be here? I don't know. When is it? July. Yeah, July. I'm around. And you love the work of Jeffrey Combs? I do. I haven't seen everything that he's done, but there's some that you mentioned that I haven't seen either. Maybe I could, but I won't. But maybe I could, Mason. Oh. I don't know. Listen. Okay. We're going to talk big movie this week, Mason. We've got a talk. We've got a movie. Quiet Place Ground Zero. Spooky movies. It's been a big week week week fortnight for spooky movies. I'm sorry. What's happening? What

are you saying? I don't know. This reminds me of a certain presidential debate. I hate to get political Mason. Oh my God. I'm just going to wander away. It's been a big couple of weeks for spooky movies. Yeah, that's right. So yeah, we've got we're going to be talking about the new Quiet Place. Oh, what is this? I'm going to walk away. Is this a political debate? At least this picture of a tractor makes me feel better.

Okay, so we're both walking away in shame and also towards a picture of a cozy tractor. But we're also doing it together, so it shouldn't disrupt the podcast at all. No, we'll be fine. We're both aimlessly wandering in the same direction, so it's fine. But of course we've got the news of the week and the lead up to that. Colling Sports time codes below if you want to jump to any of this. We're going to be talking the new set photos we've seen of Superman, the movie Superman that's filming.

Trailers 4, Batman Caped Crusader, Red One. Yes! Red Notice prequel. The movie Here by Robert Zemeckis and Nosferatu. Warner Brothers has some release dates of some big properties and that's exciting. Variety are telling us that there's some of the HBO Max shows, they're the creative teams. And that includes the Harry Potter reboot series and also The Lanterns, which is the Green Lanterns show. And then of course, we will be talking A Quiet Place.

That's right. Everybody's shush. You don't know what this is yet. Oh wait, no, it's Aliens. and also the lanterns, which is the Green Lantern Show. And then of course we will be talking a quiet place. That's right. Everybody shush. Don't know what this is yet. Oh wait, no, it's aliens. We figured it out pretty quickly. That's right. They fell out of the sky.

They fell out of the sky. Are they some sort of designer dog? They could be. That's what I'm saying. They're not right, are they? No, they're not right at all. Like even from where they're from, they're not right. Absolutely.

I don't think they nailed it wherever they're from. Yeah, I think what happened is they probably, they didn't get the message that a dog is for life, not just for Christmas. And they just, that's just a spaceship abandoning all their old, their weird dogs. That's what it is, I think. Because we've yet to learn the origin of the Quiet Place Basterds. Well, actually, I looked up the Wikipedia where we'll talk about it. That's where you're getting your insider knowledge. John Krasinski said it. All right. Anyways Set photos of Superman. We've got some full-body shots. That's right Superman in his baggy suit

Bagging about um, I like it. I like it too. Yeah, how baggy will it be on the day? We don't know how much are they tightening it up? I hope they make it extra baggy. Extra baggy. Yeah, that's right. He's big. He is big. Yeah. I mean, people have compared him to obviously Henry Cavill in the previous Gen Superman

and they're like, oh, look at this guy. He hasn't bulked up. Henry Cavill didn't bulk up that much. Have you seen the under layer of that suit? I mean, he did bulk up. He did bulk up. He bulked right up. But this guy also, and look,

every Superman is different. And if you look in the comics it's the same. Sometimes Superman is like all lean and thin and new 52. Sometimes he looks like a fucking thumb. That's right. We're leaning towards the thumb Superman in this. Look, I hope that David Curran's word Superman is a big success. I hope this is one of the greatest Superman movies we've ever gotten. I hope it's one of the greatest movies actually. Me too. But I also hope that the next generation of Superman after this is the one where people go, well actually he's got an alien physiology and he's just naturally incredibly strong, so you shouldn't need to work out at all. So he's just a big fat guy. Yeah awesome.

That'd be great. Or one of those skinny fat guys. Oh yeah, absolutely. He's thin but it's not right. Yeah absolutely. Yeah So we got the trunks trunks are looking good. We got the s on the back of the cape Yeah, which is an addition that I enjoy me too. Pretty good. We also got a look at mr. Terrific Yeah, which is looking good. I mean it looks exactly they just they did the jacket. They did the jacket

Yeah, it's got terrific on the back. Yep, and you see the Mr. Terrific machine that he steps out of no It's got one of those mr. Terrific boxes. Who's Mr. Terrific by the way? Go on. He's one of the smartest men in the world. Yeah. And he's, and he's, and he's built all sorts of cool tech. And he's, he's out to make the world better. He believes in fair play, which is why he's got fair play in the sleeves of his jacket. I also believe in fair play. I just don't need to tell everybody about it, you know? He was also inspired by the ghost of the original Mr. Terrific. Was he really? He was like, don't die, you could be another Mr. Terrific. Alright then. Thanks. Okay, bye. Thanks, ghost of Mr. Terrific, I assume? Yep. Yep. Absolutely.

Cool. Also Lois Lane. Spot on. Just Lois Lane. Now I suspect the biggest controversy or controversy Of these set photos. Yeah, it's maybe not even Superman. You know, he's got the spit-colors got the look Maybe maybe he needs to be both up or what have you but we also got a little image of him in civilian mode as Clark Can and let me tell you he's bussing for real He's got the broccoli. He's got the I think he's got the Gen Z perm. I think people are exaggerating the broccoli hair. Oh, you think that's been shopped?

No, I don't think it's been shopped. I think if you looked at the back, because the broccoli hair is, broccoli's all out on all sides. Yes. And I don't think it's, I think it's just the front. Super, Clark Kent doesn't always have super slicked back hair. No.

He does often, the Chris Reeve one does it, the other versions have, obviously. I think also the Henry Cavill version His hair was wrong. It was reversed Oh, you think you should have made him should have been spit curled as Superman and yeah like normal hair as Clark Kent But he's often spit curled as Clark Kent and then yeah slick. Yeah slick wet Superman I don't know. Well, I've been into the Snyder Cut fandom in their Reddit and they're having a laugh at this Superman.

They're like, can you believe this downgrade? Can you believe it? Can you believe what they've done to Henry Cavill, Zack Snyder, et cetera? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Henry Cavill wants to do this and they've said, no, you're not allowed. I like different versions. He never wants to do anything else.

He never wants to do Warhammer or just other stuff. Some seasons of The Witcher. He doesn't want to do any of those. He doesn just other stuff. Some seasons of The Witcher. He doesn't want to do any of those. He wishes he was just constantly being Superman and being berated online for getting things wrong. That's what he's always wanted and he continues to want that. That's right. But look, yeah, I like different versions of things. It doesn't mean doing so. That's not true. You only like one version of the Red Rooster flavor combo. Yeah, and they changed it. That's what I'm saying.

The new version, I had it today. Every time I have it, I'm like, why am I doing this? Why do I do it, Mason? I don't know. I don't know why you're doing anything. I've got a problem. Yes. It's Red Rooster. It is, yes.

I have other problems, but that's one of my problems. What are my main problems? I start a lot of sentences by going, you see, my problem is, and then I'm like, I've got a lot of problems. going, uh, you see my problem is, and then I'm like, I've got a lot of problems. One of my many problems is, I say it so often anyway. Yeah, but I think the idea of Clark Kent is that you, you know, they're trying to make him look very different

than Superman. And bust him for real. Yeah, if you look at also the Superman and Lois show, the current, no, with the animator one, Superman and his mates or whatever it's called. He's got floppier hair as well. I did it did it with Superman yeah he doesn't have the curly hair but you know it is he's a big old geek Mason Rick Flagg senior is there that's right it's um what's his relay yeah just being his guy from the MCU wherever he played

it seems crossbones before he got crossbones yeah yeah so somebody with a little dressed all in black sort of black and wild style With a kind of a u-shaped insignia on his chest. Apparently it's not Ultraman. No, I wouldn't think so There's speculation that it's a clone of Superman. Could be Midnighter. Could be Midnighter. Yeah Because there's I in that that one stock in that in that Paparazzi photo we see or maybe they're released by the studios I don't know but there's there's a man dressed all in black and there's also a woman dressed all in black. I think that's the engineer.

So I'm thinking maybe the authority, which is the kind of the superhero team we're debuting in this, they all have matching uniforms initially and then maybe they branch out later. Yeah. Like they all have matching all black uniforms and then it may be in their subsequent series, they get Individual uniforms what I like is in this universe of supermen's he's the one that stands out with these color palette Yes, it's not all drab gray. That's great. Like he really you know, you you want you want to see him You know, you want to see you don't see him and go who's that? That's true. I mean in the universe in like and in watching the movie, you know

Yeah, you know that you look at any other Superman and, who's that? That's true. I mean, in the universe and like, and in watching the movie, you know, not that you look at any other Superman and go, who's that? I know. Yeah. But I think there's that distinction between like this guy's intentionally garish and like larger than life. Sure. Which I enjoy. And I'll tell you what, there's been a few comparison photos of this Superman suit and the Robert Pattinson Batman suit. Yeah. And they do very much look like they could exist in the same universe, which I think lends credence to maybe to your theory that they'll just go. Yeah, I said maybe Mason. I didn't say definitely.

I said they could and they should and they will 100 percent. So I'm just going to open the door. Oh, Ollie. Hello. Hello, Ollie. There she is. But it's so cold, Ollie. It is cold. When I opened the door, Ollie. That's the way she wanted to come in. She's cold. Yeah.

No, but she... She only wants to come in if the door's closed. Ollie, you have to behave otherwise, but we'll put you in a spaceship and we'll launch you onto an alien world. That's right. And you'll be much stronger than everybody there and kill everybody.

That's right. By the physics and geometry of their world. Correct? Is that right? Yeah. God, Mason, I'm excited for this Superman movie that's out about this time next year. It's just called Superman and not Superman Legacy. That's right. When do you think we're going to see the first trailer?

A week before it comes out. Oh. Yeah, they're not going to build any hype. They're like, we don't even need to build any hype. Oh, I forgot to mention this. Speaking of building hype, Marvel are returning to Hall H at Comic Con this year. I said they'd never do Hall H again. They're doing it.

I said we're too big for it. We're gonna burn all our bridges. Here's all the people we hate. Gary up the front, he's always up the front row. He's been a big booster of us for years before we were even big, but we hate him. We hate him, we hate you, Gary. Get out of here.

You're a loser, Gary. Why do you have so much free time? All right, that's number one Susan All their supporters because they're like we're never gonna fall from grace Yeah, we are we're gonna be we're gonna be we're gonna be billion dollar movies all day forever What do you think they can tail between their legs? Oh, that's right And then they're gonna do baseball cap between their legs. They're you think they can- Now they're back tail between their legs. Oh, that's right. And then they're going to do Disney- Baseball cap between their legs.

They're going to do Disney something. What's that Disney one that they do? Disney D-Day or whatever it is. Yeah, Disney D-Day. Whatever it's called. Yeah, that's right. They storm the beaches. I think I heard that they're going to do-

In Florida. They're going to do movies, MCU movies at that, and then at Disney D-Day, whatever it's called. They will do more of the TV- D23. There we go. It's not called D-Day, whatever it's called. Okay. They will do more of the TV. D23. It's not called D-Day, you're thinking of World War II. I am thinking of World War II, that famous war. So I don't know, I mean, they must have...

I call it an infamous war, but all right. Okay. Okay, all right, settle down. We all think it's infamous, Mason. I don't need to say it, people know. All right. Some of these things that I think and people know. I mean, they must have something pretty big if they're, right, or they're showing off some stuff that will really hit.

Yeah, Thunderbolts asterisk. They don't bring nothing, you know. It's the last time they did it is when they announced that huge lineup including Blade in 2019. I feel like that was the last one, right? Might not be. Maybe, yeah. Okay, maybe, I mean, maybe this is their, their, their renouncing the cancellation of Blade. Good night, everybody. Yeah. Hat between legs, Blade. Goodnight everybody. Yeah.

Hat between legs. Shots are on stage. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Well, I'm fine with that I guess. Yeah. All right, cool.

Mason. Hello. Jailers, ahoy. Batman caped crusader. That's right. What if Batman was Batman, but really Batman and it was the 40s. Yeah. And the police didn't like it.

They said stop it. But he wouldn't. Whoa. He the 40s. Yeah. And the police didn't like it. They said, stop it. But he wouldn't. He liked doing it. Yeah. Or he had to do it. I think he likes it. It's probably both. Yeah. Yeah.

How'd you feel about this? It's pretty cool. Of course, there's a re-imagining, I guess, ish of the original Batman series. Not a real, that's the wrong way to put it. It's a new interpretation of the Batman. Very good, yes.

Theology. Yeah. Yes. My religion. Okay. But with some new additions for the era, we get a new Harley Quinn obviously. So the penguin in here look like there might be a clay face? Could be.

He's got some smushed up faces. Well there's two, I mean that is kind of the, if we're talking that era. I am. The Dick Tracy era of smushed up faces. Yeah. You know, you've got to throw a few in. That's true. Until we get to Harvey Dent two faces. Yeah. You know, you got to, you got to throw a few in. That's true. Till we get to Harvey Dent Two-Face. Yep.

Sort of a very minimalist Harvey Dent Two-Face I thought. It should have gone maximalist. I think so. All right. Okay. I'll have a word. But it's still time to change it. It's still time. Yeah. When is this coming out actually? I feel like we talked about this last week. Yeah. I want to say August. I think it's August. All right. He thinks he knows, but he doesn't know. He doesn't actually know. It's August 1st. That's when I thought. I thought he knew and he did actually. Alright, he thinks he knows, but he doesn't actually know. I know. It's August 1st. That's what I thought. He thought he knew and he did actually.

Yeah, I did actually. Yeah. So, I mean, very much looking forward to this. Again, it's like a darker thing than the animated series. Like, this is the stuff we couldn't do, etc. We talked about it last week. A couple of the dudes who brought you the Batman the Animated series. Some other dudes.

Some other dudes. JJ Abrams' name on this, I think. Was it in the trailer, actually? Yes, it was Couple of those dudes, you know Speaking of dudes, I know yes read one Mason. Oh finally the trailer for now. This is our Finally a fake trailer. That's in a real movie. I thought it looked like he goes tingling a ling a ling and then they all the Set walls come down and in a real movie. I thought it looked like a fake movie than I was anticipating. And it is coming to cinemas November 15th. So it's Santa played by J Jonah Jameson. Correct. And he's got muscles.

But guess what? The Rock. J.J. Johnson has more muscles. Yeah. And he works for him and he's an elf, a big elf maybe. I don't know what his deal is. What is he? I don't know. He works for him.

Yes. He's been his mate. But then guess what happens? He gets kidnapped. Did you guess that or have you seen this trailer? I've seen the trailer. Okay. Santa Claus gets kidnapped.

And then guess what happens? They have to get the world's greatest guy who finds kidnapped people who's Chris Evans, but he doesn't want to do it. Did you guess that or have you seen that in the trailer? I've seen the trailer. So they kidnapped Chris Evans because it's cool when they do it. And they bring him to the North Pole and they're like, listen, Santa Claus is real and he's missing and you've got to find it.

And Chris Evans goes, Santa Claus is not real. That's right. But guess what? Are you guessing or do you know? He's going to have to do it anyway. He's going to have to work together with Dwayne Johnson. Yeah. He's an elf. And also has sex with the reindeer. You think so? There's the moment where he's like, oh, look,

the reindeer, the rocks here. The rock has sex with all the reindeer. I remember something vaguely akin to that. Yeah. I think you're adding a... Yeah, they're like, yeah, when they turn the camera off the rock, he comes in here. Yeah. So, you know, it's a magical world, but it's also like, it's an action movie. You know, Snowmen are coming. You got to stop that.

Yes. They're big musculoskeletal. Krampus is there. Krampus is there. Look, I think it had, it appealed to me more than I thought it would, but I also do feel like there was a little element of, you know, they're sitting around the whiteboard going, okay, what's some Christmas stuff? Snowmen?

Yeah. What if they were big and scary? What if they were big and scary? Yeah. What if the guns were candy canes and they shot candy canes? That's right. What if Jesus was there? Cause he's also about Christmas.

That's true. Yeah. Yeah. Tactical Jesus or regular Jesus. And he's just like, I don't like this. This is not what I'm about. This has become twisted with your snowmen and you're having sex with reindeer. That's right. Not what I said. I didn't say any of this stuff. A lot of this didn't exist. Although to be fair, a lot of this didn't exist when

I was I mean, I couldn't have said no Nintendo Switch because that didn't exist at the time when I was alive. That's right. He didn't even know. Well, of course, the the news of this and we did a whole episode on a few weeks back, not a whole episode, some of it was where this movie was very contentious because the rock just didn't turn up for a lot of it. And the stories of him pissing in bottles on set and handing it to people, et cetera. What do you think about this? You like it?

It's my gift to you. I've just learned about Christmas gifts. This is why I'm doing this. Not free though. Yeah, you owe me money now. So I guess like reading that article and the delays of this and like the idea. The sourdough on the incredible premise of red one. Yeah and the first image that we saw like two years ago or whatever, I really wasn't

expecting anything. And the fact that I went, it's not as bad as I thought it would look. You know, that's not nothing. It's going to be two hours though. Yeah, good. It's a lot of movies. That's what I want. Just to sit down for two hours in front of a movie that I definitely do want to see and will say.

That's right. I can take my kids, one of them. Yeah, can you take one of your kids? One or both of my kids. Yeah, either the one that has behaved the most or the one that's misbehaved the most Depending on what earlier reviews say you go say you tell me okay? All right, thank you. Yeah, but don't just guess you have to actually say it. All right, okay Yeah, cuz you're always guessing you're always guessing nice right? Yeah, we also got a trailer for here

Yes, I could say yes. He really does have sex with a right. You should take your misbehaving child Yes, I can say yes, he really does have sex with a ranger. You should take your misbehaving child. Here, so this is... This is Zemeckis again. Yep. What's he up to now? He's back on his nonsense. This time he's gone with, it's a movie set entirely in the lounge room of a house.

But also prehistoric. It goes up through the ages. I think probably that'll be the first two minutes. You don't think they'll do the whole thing? No, I think they're going to do... This movie might be 65 million years long. I don't think so, no. I don't think we'll see Adam Driver's character from the movie, 65, battling dinosaurs at

the start. Would you love that if he just ran through? I would actually think that. I think what they're going to do is they're going to do, we're going to do a quick montage of the neighborhood filling up and the house being built in the first five minutes and then it's going to cut to Tom Hanks' family moving in. So it's going to be the entire life of a family, maybe many generations of a family. Fixed camera. Fixed camera, one room for the entire run of a family, maybe many generations of a family. Fixed camera. Fixed camera, one room.

Yep. For the entire run of the movie. And we're going to see the characters age and in real time. So, of course, I mean, I guess the big takeaway from this trailer, obviously, is we're going to get a D aged Tom Hanks and a D aged other actors. Robin Wright, for example. Paul Bettany will be here. Paul Bettany, yeah. Yeah. I think they start at age 19 or something and then they go from there. It doesn't exactly look like young Tom Hanks and young Robin Wright.

Well, see, a lot of people have said that. Some people have said, okay, well, the benefit of Tom Hanks being a TV and movie star for so long is we have so much reference material of him to make the de-aging technology look as good as it can possibly look. But some people said, well, he doesn't quite look like he does or he did as a teenager, as a young man. And that's going to be distracting the entire time. Potentially. I think I suspect that I get the sense that the technology is far enough along

that we will sort of settle into it. Yeah, I mean, the thing about these Roberts and Mechers like experimental movies are that they do bring technology forward. But because it's the first time using a lot of this stuff, it's very unpleasant and distracting. I mean, you know, there's that mocap era, obviously. But this isn't just the aging. Did you hear how they're doing this? I know how they're doing it. So acting? Yeah, well, some of it's acting. So it's the first of its kind. I trust Tom Hanks on that and Robin Ryan.

Yeah, sure. They're acting. It's the first of its kind partnership with AI Studio Metaphysic, using a new tool called Metaphysic Live. Also, they just call everything AI. They do, yeah. It's just doing a computer thing. It's computer.

AI is like a, you switch it on and it goes, hello, what's happening? You know? I'll kill you. I'll kill you. I'm bad now. It doesn't even finish, what's happening? I'll kill you. I'll kill you. I'm bad now. It doesn't even finish its query. Hello, I'll kill you. I'll kill you. I shouldn't have switched this on, honestly.

I knew it was going to say it's going to kill me. Using a new tool called Metaphysics Live, the creators of here, that's the movie, will be able to create high resolution photorealistic face swaps and de-aging effects on top of actors performances live and in real time without the need of further compositing or VFX work. So this is what they're filming on the day. Right, so they're filming Tom Hanks at whatever age he is now going, they've set the switch to 19. And then when they look at the dailies or they look at the footage from the computer, it's just going to be him at 19.

I don't think you could do that and not go back and tweak it. I don't believe that this technology would be there where you could just let it run. And it would be perfect. Are you suggesting that Tom Hanks at 19 didn't have 19 fingers on each hand? And coming out of his face. Yeah No, I I mean this sounds like PR spin and lies Yeah, it's like it feels like the same thing of when every movie that's come out in the last 10 years like yeah We're doing everything practically.

We're actually, there's not going to be any visual effects. There are going to be visual effects and to say, well, actually this is what we, what we're going to put, we're just going to film the actors and then whatever comes out is going to be the, yeah, there's going to be horrible errors. Yeah. And there's, there's it's the same thing of like when websites just get chat GPT to come up with a list of articles and then write the articles and then they get an editor to edit the article so they make sense.

You shouldn't take digs at screen rent like that. I don't know why you did that. So what's wrong with you? Because I hate them. I hate them, James. I don't know they do that. No, neither do I. No, but I do hate them. I know that. Yeah, no, it's it, it feels a little bit like they're testing out a means of instead of getting the visual effects

people to do the visual effects and then every you know, every iteration, you have to pay them more and more over time to do the work. Instead, they just pump out whatever it is. And instead of instead of hiring a VFX artist, you hire a VFX editor. Yes, for less money. The thing is like it has to look right before you start, obviously. I mean, this is kind of the same model that they used for the Mandalorian with the volume. Right.

Because the idea is that it's all in camera. It's like this, but it's the people, I guess. Yeah. I don't know. Anyway, I didn't like it. It looked bad. It looked weird. I didn't hate the look of it.

No, not a fan. All right. But you know what? Robert Zemeckis made Back to the Future. It's true he did. And other good movies It looked weird. I didn't hate the look of it. No, not a fan. But you know what? Roberts and Mecha's made Back to the Future. It's true we did. And other good movies that I like. Like The Polar Express.

You love The Polar Express. I do. And this will go somewhere, even if this isn't good. Yes. Like, and it looks bad. Oh, the technology will go somewhere, yeah. Yeah. The concept is like, it's, you know, I think it's a solid idea that they'll use in the

future. Anyway, Nosferatu got a trailer. It's Robert Eggers. That's right. I've just written spooky stuff. Okay. You written anything about old egghead? I call him I call him old egghead. I think he's younger than you. Probably. Yeah, I can still call him old egghead. You can't you're not allowed to. He'll call you old egghead. I do have kind of an eggy looking head. But I have one of those heads that looks like you know, when you'd you'd fill a sock with dirt and put it in a jar and it'd grow hair out of it.

Oh yeah yeah yeah cool okay yeah that's good. Like a school project. That's a good thing. Yeah that's what I look like. You should be proud of your weird school project egg head. I am, I am thank you. So of course the last thing I did I think it was the Northman I believe. It was the Northman.

He's done the Vovitch. And he did the lighthouse. Willem Dafoe who played this version of Nosferatu, I guess this version, or a version of Nosferatu in a movie about making the original. Was it Shadow of the Vampires? Yeah. The movie was it? So, but he's a Van Helsingfeller in this. Yes, yeah. Really cool imagery. I agree. Yeah. Lily Rose Depp took over from, I believe it was going to be Anya Taylor Joy, but, um, she was probably doing Mad Max or whatever. I don't know. Which is currently on streaming, Mason. Check it out. Yeah. Check it out. What's come out recently, but it's, it was,

oh, the movie, the bike riders. Yeah. That's, that's coming out on streaming. It's been in cinemas for 10 days. And they're all... Is it out here? It'll be out this week. Great. Great window for that. Also, is it really the time to release The Bike Riders, like a peak summer movie?

Yeah. Yeah, I guess it is. It's more summery than getting on your bike and doing an unplaceable accent. Oh yeah, you're right. That was most of my childhood. That's right. I didn't have a lot of friends,'re right. That was most of my childhood. That's right. I didn't have a lot of friends,

but I did have that bike and that accent. That's right. Let's ride this bike to the beat. Ah. Yeah, see? Yeah, it's good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How'd you feel about this?

I liked it. I liked the look of it. Yeah, I had a really, I had a dream where I was in like a weird haze, where I thought of a good joke poster for this. Okay. Lost it completely.

Okay. About vampires. Who was in the joke poster? It was the Nosferatu poster. And I'm like, was it Nosferatu? Was it Nos-fart-to? Was it Nos-farr-to? But it was like...

Like Nos from the past, Fast and Furious? If it was that, that's not a great joke. But you know, sometimes you think of an idea half asleep and you think it's a good idea and then it's not actually a good idea. Nasty fart-toot. Yeah, it wouldn't an idea half asleep and you think it's a good idea and it's not actually a good idea. Nasty fart toot. Yeah it wouldn't have been better than that. No absolutely not. We've reached peak funny name of a movie haven't we there. We really have. God we could we could if this was the early 2000 we could sell this to the

Zucker Brothers and it had come out a week after Nosferatu, nasty fart suit. And we'd be rolling in it. Leslie Nielsen would be there. He'd be nasty fart suit. That's great stuff Mason. We've got some release dates for Wannabe brothers. Wannabe brothers. Oh, I see what you're saying. Okay, right. I'm doing it. Just relax. I get it. I've got this. Just just wait. Okay. Just wait, Mason. It's all going to come together. All right. They've released a for Denny Villeneuve's next movie, which is going to be the 18th of December 2026. And is it Dune 2? It's Dune Messiah. Well, many people, including Deadline, have speculated that yeah, it's going to be Dune 3, not Dune 2. But interestingly, that might be going up against whatever the next Star Wars movie

is. That Star Wars claim to that date already. Well, somebody should probably remind Disney they're doing that so they can make one. Or maybe just repackage the TV show they're making into a movie or something. That's probably easier actually. Yeah, that'd be way easier. Or just re-release one of the old ones. Yeah, maybe. You know, re-release Rise of Skywalker. Oh yeah, that's a good movie. I think so. I think Dune 3 would beat

Star Wars or at least put a significant dent in it. I think this would be, you wouldn't put these together. I think that would be a terror. I think if this Star Wars movie is being made, they should push it to the following May. You think that or do you think, I mean does the Star Wars name still hold a lot of sway in the general public's mind? Like people who don't have Disney Plus or you know, people are just like, oh Star Wars. Yeah, maybe you're right. Love to see a Star Wars. Yeah, maybe you're right.

Dune, what's that? Based on a book. That's true. Yawn. I do, because I do get get you know, like the Star Wars The discourse if you will that we're hearing. Yeah, a normal person doesn't say that's correct Yes, they're not in those out everybody. We we often forget that a lot of people aren't Dangerously online as we are. Yeah, that's right. Just dangerously dangerous like this guy. That's right This guy's doing all right. How's what he's done? So yeah, there you go dune 3 probably

Yeah, and then I think he said he's not gonna do any more dune movies after that but Warner Brothers will I'll keep it going They've also got that series coming out and dune sisters. Whatever. It's called. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, sisterhood of the traveling dunes sister sisters mucking about With a Messiah or whatever's are duening it for themselves. There we go. These are all good stuff. Mason and then we've got King Kong Godzilla something that's going to be March 26, 2027. Grant Spator who directed Iron Mother, he's, I don't know if we mentioned this, but he's

taking over as director. Adam Wingard is off these projects. He's off planet. He's off planet. I don't know what else has this guy directed. I'm not entirely sure. I remember saying that he hadn't really done anything like this before. The movie We Bury the Dead with Anthony.

I bloody hope so. Oh, he did Iron Mother. Did you see Iron Mother? No. Is that about a robot? Yeah, it's got Hilary Swank in it. It's always about a robot. Yeah, it's really good. That was a Netflix movie, I believe, that it not about a robot. Yeah, it's got Hillary swank in it. It's always about a robot. Yeah, it's really good.

That was a Netflix movie, I believe that it was, yeah. Oh cool, I like that a lot. Oh, this guy could do a very good job. He could do a very good job, Mason. I believe. He could do a very good job. I mean, anybody can do a good job. Disagree. Anybody. You see that presidential debate?

Now one person in that presidential debate would do a good job. Am I including the facilitator, like the person? No, one person in that presidential debate would do a good job. Am I including the facilitator like the person? No. No. Because even then, no. Nobody did a good job. Sad.

The saddest thing I've ever seen. What a state. What a state, Mason. My God. Variety is saying that here's some... What is this, the presidential debates in podcast form? What is this the presidential debates in podcast form? What is this? They're are they're temple series is and now being branded as HBO originals.

I saw that instead of Mac. Well, it's almost like saying something was Max was a bad idea and HBO was a brand that was, you know, considered a gold standard for literally decades. If only we all knew that and said it. Yes, finally, finally. for literally decades. If only we all knew that and said it. Yeah, if only somebody with some experience in the movie TV business had said that to an executive and that executive had listened. And what was his name? The executive?

Max. It's Zaslav. Oh. This is a Zaslav project. It is, yeah. Anyway, one of them is the Harry Potter series, which I'm genuinely surprised they're going with this. But Francesca Gardiner, who did Killing Eve, is the showrunner,

and she's also going to be executive producer, and the TV director Mark Mollod, who worked on Game of Thrones and The Last of Us will have multiple episodes. Those two also worked together on Succession. So this could be good, actually. You're suggesting a lot of business wheeling and dealing in the Hogwarts toilets. Yes, that's right. Should they rename it business wheeling and dealing in the Hogwarts toilets. Yes, that's right. Should they rename it business wheeling and dealing in the Hogwarts toilets?

You're not a serious ghost, nearly headless Nick. There we go. Nice, good. Two references matched together. Put that on a t-shirt. Make a lot of money on that. At 80sTease.com. They don't just do 80s Tease, they do everything.

They do everything. They do every vague thing you sort of have a vague memory of. Have you thought of something once? Yeah, it's on there. They've got a t-shirt for it. You have a dream where you were nude at school? There have a baby thought of something once. Yeah, I'm gonna teach you to shut for it I'm never dream where you were nude at school is a t-shirt of that. It's you It's your faces on think of a funny Nosferatu joke on a t-shirt. Yeah, they've got it. They've already about it actually Yeah, I have no interest in this I still think they should have gone with the Harry Potter's parents at school

I do that era then you can tie it into the movies, but you know, they've parents at school. Okay. Do that era. Then you can tie it into the movies. But you know, they, you got us, if you're going to reboot Harry Potter, you got to make it good. Yeah. Good luck and have a great time.

Yeah. Don't dump it. Don't just dump it. They're going to just dump it. You should just dump it. They're going to. You think they're not going to make this? No, they're going to make it and then they're going to dump it.

Okay. They're going to do it like the Rings of Power series. They're just going to dump it. people will be like, oh yeah. Didn't that come out already or didn't? It's out, yeah. Yeah. It's out. Yeah. I mean, you got to get so-

Probably do another season of that, I reckon. You got to get so much of Harry Potter right. Like the casting alone is like, it's basically impossible. That's fine. No, you're right. It's not that hard. I'll do it. It's still a good job. Just do a good job.

The other show worth mentioning, I guess, for us is Lantons. And that's going straight to water. Eight episodes. And then we wait four years and we get another eight episodes. That's right. The series will follow new recruit John Stewart and legendary Lanton Hal Jordan. Those are the two guys. Two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark earth based mis- earth based.

Yeah, that's right. Boot! No, that's fine. And they've lost their rings. So they're not regular guys. And it's just regular crime crime and they're just two guys. It's called green. Yeah. That's right. That's it. And it's called that ironically because there's no green in the city. There's no green in it, yeah. They're just sitting in bars going, man I wish this city were greener. Can't we do that thing where we call our rings? I don't think we can. Yeah, I've forgotten how to do that. I'm drunk. Remember they've got a breathalyzer on them.

You can't use it when you're drunk. We could call them, but then we breathe in and it'd be like, no. You're drunk. You're drunk, no. Earth-based mystery. Can we stop drinking? No. No.

Earth-based mystery is they investigate a murder in the American heartland. Now Chris Mundy from True Detective Night Country. This is just True Detective. It's True Detective, yes. From True Detective Night Country and Ozark will return. Damon Lindelof, the Watchmen, I'm sorry, Watchmen and Leftovers, and Tom King, Supergirl Woman Tomorrow and various other things, they're co-writing. Okay.

I love that creative team, but it is True Detective and they'll have rings. Let's scan this scene in this body. Oh, the ring says it's inconclusive. We'd better use our eyes and our detective skills. Let's use our true detect- I mean our Lantern detective skills. I am- Does this sound like the budget is rapidly dropping out of this show?

It sounds to me a little bit like that. Why are they- I mean, I'm assuming Earth base mystery, but there would be intergalactic stuff. Yeah. They'd be like, oh, it's that big headed yellow guy. We'll know if at the start of the first episode they offhandedly mention that the rings can only be used once a day or something like that. We'll be like, oh yeah, no this is...

God that'd be cool wouldn't it? I wouldn't mind it. Yeah. So those are out at some point. That's terrific. At least two, probably three years away, realistically. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll be dead.

We'll be dead Mason. No, I'll be alive until it's over.. We'll be dead. We'll be dead, Mason. No, I'll be alive until it's over. Then I'll be dead. Should we do the review? Yeah, let's review a movie. From Yorgos Lanthimos, the Academy Award nominated director of Poor Things and The Favorite, comes Kinds of Kindness, a darkly hilarious and unpredictable film that critics are calling mind-bendingly brilliant.

Featuring an all-star cast led by Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, and Willem Dafoe. Kinds of Kindness is a wild ride that will leave audiences discussing the experience long after it's over. Don't miss Kinds of Kindness now playing in select theaters. You a movie up? Hell yeah. Oh, not new now. Came out last week. God, it's old news. What are we even doing? Right question. in select theaters. Yeah, get me off this goddamn list and I am for most of them. So A Quiet Place Day 1 on a budget of $67 million. Box offers a return they reckon in the US opening is going to be about $55 million. Which is bigger than the original which made $50 million in its opening US weekend. So that's good.

You think that's because No Krasinski in the trailer? Maybe. I don't know. Does it? Does it indeed Does it? Does it indeed. Yeah. So this is Matthew Sinovsky. Okay. And if you're familiar with him, Mason, I'm not. Yeah. He did A Quiet Place Day One. He directed Pig. He did. He directed the movie Pig. Movie I have not seen. Good movie. Should I watch it? Yeah. I'll watch it tomorrow.

You might be like, Oh, is this a horror movie or revenge movie? Not really. No, I heard it's Nicholas Cage's like favorite movie he's ever favorite movies ever done yeah I mean it's a little bit like a quiet place day one hmm it's uh yeah why is it like that because he doesn't talk yeah not a lot mmm very good um what the hell what do you think the story was oh come on mate all right and also a question what the weakness? That's a great question. Remember that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's water though.

Yeah, it is. Water. Yeah, I got a solution for that. We knew that from, yeah. Is it water? Yeah, it's partially water. It's like a squirt gun? No, it's more than that.

You can't know because they're not, we'll talk about it. We'll talk about it. Go Mason. But if you've seen A Quiet Place, second Quiet Place, you know that already. They don't swim. But anyway. But they'll boat. They will boat, it's true. They'll yacht. They'll put the captain's hat on. I was thinking more like yacht rock. Oh okay, no I was thinking more traditional. Okay, did you know it's like the 15th anniversary of that web series yacht rock, which created the idea of yacht rock.. It created the term Yacht Rock.

I didn't even know there was a web series called Yacht Rock. That's right. Do you remember the early days of web TV and stuff? Yeah. Crackle.com. Oh, I remember. Crackle.com. Cracked TV. Yes.

I remember all that. That's right. Yeah. Anyway, the story. OK, so Lupiti Nyong'o plays a woman whose name is Sam. She doesn't know she's in A Quiet Place prequel. No, that's true. She doesn't. She's having a bad time, but she's about to have a much worse time.

Yeah, well, she's in a hospice. She's got cancer. But there's going to be a... In New York City, baby. City that never sleeps. The guy from the hereditary is like, why don't you come to New York City with me? That's right, yeah. I'm pretty sure we're not in the Quiet Place universe. Exactly. So what could go wrong? What could possibly go wrong besides maybe a shopkeeper like yelling at you, forgetting

in his way. You didn't pay for that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Well, I just looked at it, sir. You didn't pay for it. Anyway, they're going to go to Manhattan. They're going to take in a show.

Bloody Madhattan. That's right. City that never sleeps. Why bloody shut up? What did you think of the show? You're going to pay for it. Anyway, they're going to go to Manhattan. They're going to take in a show. Bloody Madhattan. That's right. So they never sleep. Why bloody shut up? What did you think of the show that they watched?

The Marionette show. That was fun. I mean, we saw like 20 seconds of it. And it malfunctioned. It was a bad show. Did it malfunction or was that part of it? I think it malfunctioned, yeah. Yeah, but like, could you do an hour of that?

Could I withstand an hour? Yeah, I could. I mean, a guy also like, but it's malfunctioning, I assume the whole time. Yeah. Anyway, go on. Well, and then she wants, she's like, I'll go if we get pizza later. And then he's like, okay, fine. But then maybe they should go back because they're hearing noises, which is a bad start.

They should maybe go back because something bad's brewing in the city. Yep. Guess what? It's a Quiet Place prequel. That's right. That's right. Yeah, god damn. Gotta watch out for those aliens from the skies. Yes.

Now I think 1 and 2 are very similar, especially in like, I guess we'll spoil those, but in the resolution of just make a big noise. Yeah. And this does something different. This is a different kind of movie, yeah. I mean, I guess the dilemma of course is that this is a pre a different kind of movie. Yeah. I mean, I guess the dilemma, of course, is that this is a prequel to the previous two. So we already know the rules of the game.

Yes. We know what the monsters are. We know what the monsters look like. We know the game is on. We know exactly that. So what do you do within that framework? You can't have the characters independently learn, oh, you just zap them with a high frequency noise,

and then you can shoot them or whatever, because that undercuts the rest of the remaining movies No makes the other two look like dumbasses the central driving force of this movie is and how we're gonna defeat them or whatever Or even not necessarily how are we gonna get away? Yeah, I guess this is we'll be getting into spoilers Which will hold off on a bit. But yeah, the narrative is it's It's different. It is different. In a good way.

It's a reflection on death and mortality and making the most of life. This also has- Joseph Quinn. We also have Joseph Quinn, but this is Sam's movie. This is a little bit of Nyong'o's movie. We don't see Sam until, we don't meet Sam until- Oh, Joseph Quinn is Eddie in Stranger Things

and he's the new Johnny Storm, for those people who do not know. He's got, correct me if I'm wrong, he's got a touch of the young Robert Downey Jrs about him. Did you feel that? The RDJs? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I don't feel that. You're wrong. Interesting. British Robert Downey Jr?

Oh, no, I can't, no. Oh, okay. Sorry. That's just not true. Okay, right. Okay then. Well, I took a shot. No and. I'm saying and because continue. Okay. Yeah, it is a horror movie. Yeah. I'm saying and because continue. Okay. Yeah. It's it's it is a horror movie. Yeah. But it isn't. It's a you know, it's a PG 13 horror movie. Yeah. People are getting

killed, etc. Is it PG 13? I don't know. Yeah. But it's it's it's feel it's it's more about what do you do in a world where maybe you're doomed? Yeah. No matter what. Like, how do you spend that last time you have? Yes. She's a terminal cancer patient. You know, she's trapped on an island where she doesn't have her medication. Yeah. You know, she doesn't have... She's lived longer than she thought she would.

Yes. And, you know, time's running out for her. She's not loving it. She's not loving it. Yeah. Despite what McDonald's might have you think. And so what... and you know, times running out for her. She's not loving it. She's not loving it. Yeah. Despite what McDonald's might have you think. And so what it's and there's, you know, monsters stalking the streets and if you make a noise,

they'll find you and kill you. Yeah, that's right. So what do you do in that time? And that's it's a really interesting. It is a PG-13 by the way. Yeah, exactly. What do you do with that time? Yeah.

So I think the setting was interesting as well to take it into New York I think considering the budget is Relatively small I guess relatively, you know, there's it's New York So it's hard to make it would be hard to make it look like a not a thriving city because it gets quiet placed But you know, you need you need it's it's a hard place to replicate Yeah, and then you got to replicate it where it's covered in debris and monsters and the streets are empty. That's right.

Which I think this does a really good job. I think taking it even like the first two, obviously they're focused on the one family. And I think the thing to do here could it could be, like you said, you just go back to that. You just do it's another family. And they have to make a big sound. And they don't do that. Like there are there is some crossover with one character at least.

J'mon Honsu returns. As his character from the second movie. Killian Murphy is also in that movie, remember? He is, that's right. He's 60. J'mon Honsu. He shouldn't be. You think so? Yeah, he should be much younger.

You think he should be 60 or an actor, but you can't be both. No, you can't. He's got some great scenes in this. He's underused, but I think, yeah, just some great scenes from this guy. Absolutely. Yeah. I think as with the other movies, maybe less so in this one, there is an inconsistency in terms of what the monsters react to and what sounds they determine as being human. Like, like you can breathe right next to one and it won't notice you but if you...

Tear your shirt maybe loudly. Yeah, it will notice you from, you know, 100 yards away or whatever. They also don't react to each other's noises. Presumably they've got some kind of echo location thing where they know where each other are. But you think if one like tripped over a bin... They'd all attack him. They'd all come running. Yeah.

You know, whatever. I don't know. They've probably figured that out, haven't they? Here we go. a bin they'd all come running. Yeah. You know, whatever. I don't know. They've probably figured that out, haven't they? Here we go. Here's the Wikipedia stuff I promised. Okay. According to John Krasinski, director of two previous Quiet Place movies and the movie

If. And wrote this as well? Maybe. I'll have a look. The creatures originated- Story by John Krasinski and Michael Sarnowski. There you go. The creatures originated on- Screenplay by Michael Sarnowski. There you go.

The creatures originated on a lightless planet in a faraway galaxy, a hell world with harsher conditions and higher gravity than Earth. So the dark side method of survival. Not dark side, doomsday. But I guess like you said, somebody must have bundled them onto a meteor or the planet exploded. Maybe the planet exploded. It just feels like there's a concentrated amount of them hitting Earth though. Yeah, like a ton of them.

Like it seems like they're doing it on purpose. See, that's the thing. Where do we go for a sequel to this? Could you do a sequel where it's like Independence Day resurgence? Yeah. Where we kick some alien ass? Would you bother? Would you want to go there?

No. Just leave it. Yeah, I would probably just leave it as well. Just leave it. How many can there be left at this point, you know? Just leave it, mate. Well, like 10 left by the end of the second one. Yeah. So basically they can't swim. So they're trapped in New York. Minus some bridges and roads potentially.

Like a classic Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen scenario. They're trapped in New York. Because I think also in, I got the impression from the other movies that they fan out, but they can't hear, can they? Because they cover territories and they might team up two of them, but they're mostly, they spread out. And here they don't. So you've got a highly packed, densely populated area of these things. Are they reproducing? Because there's a scene where there's some little ones and they seem to be... Yeah, some are bigger than others. There's also a food source that they have. Because

they don't eat people. Se just kill. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, here's my idea of how you kill them. Okay, this isn't a spoiler, but they can't swim as mentioned, because they're too dense. You get like a like a you know, like a bin flippy lid that flips down. Yeah, sure. You just get a big barrel. And you put water in the bottom. Yeah. And you have a little speaker on the top. And they and the the the bin lid falls down and they fall into the water and then the bin lid goes back up I mean you just do you put them everywhere right just drown them by thousands now Is that how they die because there's a there's a moment in this there's an underwater sequence in this movie And it seems like something in their brain shorts out when they're out of underwater for too long

Yeah, because they can survive in space. Yeah, so yeah It must be something because that you see a little spark Yeah, in this in this creature's brain when it's underwater long enough. So yeah, that it So you're saying you could put a bucket of water over there. You could put a bucket of water on the head Yeah, okay. I'm saying let's do that then Should we do some spoilers? I say best movie. I really liked it. Different pacing to the... Different feel. But I mean, it's still got that tension to it.

It definitely does, yeah. There's a cat in this. Yes. And you're like, when's that cat gonna... Stop it. Also the cat. Yeah. I mean, it's pretty well behaved considering the environment.

But yeah. Yeah, that cat. My god. So yeah, look. You're gonna say... You said Best Movie Ever? Yeah, I'm saying best movie ever. I think it's if you liked the other ones, I think this is

I didn't like to as much as I liked one. But this still this might even be my favorite. I think it might be my favorite. Yeah. Yeah. Sound design is always interesting. And yeah, the concept is like why do they hear this and not that and whatever. Like that is true and whatever.

But it's not this one in particular. It feels like it's not really about that. It's not the focus. They're there, but this is again, we'll do some spoilers. If you've seen Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise, or in fact, any of the before movies, it's like kind of like that. It's kind of two people getting to know each other in the big city, except if Ethan Hawke or Julie Delpy make a noise Monsters will tear their heads off. That's right. My god. Yeah. I so yeah, this isn't big spoilers Thanks, I'm sorry big spoil the time. Oh, they eat alien spores or something that came with them or something that seems to be what's happening Yeah, I don't know that is they'll probably explore that in further prequels and for it Wow, very good Thank you Ah, but yeah

So the idea is like the Peter Nyong'o's character, Sam, who she's not going to live anyway, she's well aware of. Yeah, but she wants to walk through the city and get a slice of pizza. That's all she God damn wants. And reminisce about her family and her life. A classic character who wants to spend a movie just getting a thing, a la Hudson Hawk, he just wants a cup of coffee. I think making this like the terminal illness and that story, like's like as in a nobody else is doing what she's doing

Because it wouldn't make sense obviously to do that I think having that the focus and not just let's get off this island Yeah, I think is just a really interesting way to tell this story I agree and Joseph Quinn's character is you know along for the ride because they bond and connect and well He follows around for a follows around. He's in shock. Yeah. Yeah yeah and he's got a big floppy suit on. That's true he does. Yeah yeah oh yeah there's a moment where he emerges from the subway because the subway's flooded. Our first appearance of him he emerges from the subway and he's probably just had a meatball sub. Exactly and he and he it's all flooded and he comes out of the

water he's like and no monster comes for him. He's ducked back. I guess there was somewhere else. You go down. You go back down. Yeah, I guess you would. In the water. Yeah, that's true. I can't do that. Yeah. And it seems that if she, like her, and I don't know whether this is just her as a person or like she was always like this all because of, you know, the state that she's in. She doesn't really have a fear of, because she knows she's going to die anyway. So it's just like she has this kind of, she's able to kind of carry him for a lot of this

because she doesn't have that fear. But at the same time, you know, it's a, he's also, you know, helping her out. There's a pain medication element of this as well. She's just got fentanyl patches, which apparently you can just look at it and you'll just die. That's what the news is telling me. Was that fentanyl? It was fentanyl, yeah. I didn't see it the first time, but later you see that the patching is fentanyl.

Yeah, so did you find the ending cathartic? Was she kind of stayed and... Yeah, I mean, the reveal of course is that she doesn't just want to slice a pizza. She wants to go to the pizza place where she went with her dad and her dad died of the same cancer that she had and she was wearing his cardigan for the entire movie. And then, you know, the cardigan. I did. Yeah.

Okay, good. I shadow yellow. Yeah, I sure collar looked cozy. I mean, it was covered in mud and dirt. It was wet for a lot of it was wet for a lot of it. Yeah. But if it was an I think looked like a nice wall, I think it would survive that. Okay, cool.

Yeah, survive and thrive. Survive the quiet place. Yeah, I think it would survive that I think I could survive and thrive survive the quiet place yeah I think it would yes yeah that's what you want you want a cardigan that would survive the the quiet place universe and then of course you know but because the pizza place that she dreamed of has burned to a crisp yeah it's burned to the ground but you know then they go they go to the bar where he her father played piano and then you know Joseph Quinn's character brings her on stage and does a little card trick and then gets her a slice of terrible pizza.

I thought that was nice. I would have thought she would have gone with the fentanyl overdose death. Just cover herself in fentanyl patches. Maybe she did that and then walked out to the aliens. Then you wouldn't feel them tearing you apart as much. That's true. Yeah. No, I thought, hey, I just, it felt, I don't know, it just felt very kind of cathartic

and it was a nice ending. It's really not... She should have just waved a fentanyl under their noses and they would have exploded. It really, I think it really... She should have just said fentanyl. No, it would have hit sort of first. Yeah, I think it leans more into the emotional weight of it than the horror stuff. And I think that's to the movie's benefit.

Yeah, I wonder if you could very easily turn this script from... It could be a... It could be an earthquake. It could be an earthquake. It could be a comedy. It could be a Quiet Place sequel. It could be a Quiet Place sequel earthquake. It could be an earthquake. It could be a comedy Yeah, it could be a quiet place sequel. It'll be a quiet night sequel not a free fall Yeah, I mean you could you could take the sort of the the spine of this this plot and put it anywhere Yeah, it would be just as if I mean the movie remember that Star Wars movie the road trip one where they go to see the Phantom Menace or whatever one of them has a terminal illness

Oh, I thought you meant a star a real Star Wars movie I'm like, you're thinking of the movie The Phantom Menace? When Qui-Gon and Anakin go to find the Phantom Menace? They go on that road trip? Yeah. They go on the road trip and then they go into a little submarine? What was that movie? Oh, it's called Fanboys. Fanboys, yeah.

Yeah, that's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There you go. Yeah. Oh, yeah. When four die-hard Star Wars fans have a reunion, they learn that one of them is dying, they decide to steal a print of the unreleased Star Wars film so their dying friend can watch it. Makes sense.

Alrighty. Oh, and of course Eddie escapes. He jumps on a boat and he escapes with a cat. So I think also you get that element of it. Everybody gets what they want. And he didn't have to finish law school. No, thank God. One of them gets torn apart by monsters and the other one doesn't everybody wins. That's right I think this is definitely worth checking out what it's probably like 90 minutes, right? Yeah. Yeah, it's a bit. It's a breeze

It's a tight five. It's not like 97 9700 minutes. Yeah. No, I liked it. And what would you what are you expecting from a quiet place universe? Universe Mason? Where do you want to go? Great question. I suspect... There's gonna be more? If this does well, yeah. Yeah, which it seems to be. But who knows?

Do you follow Joseph Quinn after this? I think you could. Yeah. He might be expensive real soon, if according to you he's the new Robert Downey Jr. That's true. Well, he's the new Johnny Storm, so that might be something. It's true. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

I'm just looking for in terms of like sequels. I don't know. There'll be something else. This is him There's no way this is over. Also, you can do these again You can set them in multiple place like in anywhere really. Yeah, you know, you can keep the budget around this or lower You know, it's not it's not that anyone could make anyone could make one of these True, isn't it? Yeah easy. Yeah easy. Yeah, cool. All right, let's it along. What are we going to talk about? What we're reading. Yep. And what we're going to read. Yep. I'm doing the thing. This is a segment. Oh, sorry. This is the segment where we talk about things that we've been watching, reading, or listening, or doing, and I'm assuming you're going to talk about the bear.

I'm going to talk about the bear. So transparent. I've got a couple of things to talk about, but I'll definitely talk about the bear. Let's do the bear. I mean, just to be clear though, Rob Collins, who edits this podcast, he did put a message in the group chat and he said, don't spoil the bear because he is looking forward to watching the bear and he probably wasn't going to have a chance to watch it all. Because they dropped them all.

By the time, yeah, by the time this episode comes out. He simply couldn't bear it. He simply couldn't bear it. But I think we would be remiss in not talking about it. The end of the second, in the second season of The Bear, obviously, all the friends and family, they all get together and they help Kami, you know, achieve his dream of putting together the restaurant, The Bear. And getting The Bear out of the kitchen. Well, I was going to say in the finale of season two of The Bear,

The Bear gets out of the kitchen and kills everybody, if you recall. Yeah, it's crazy. They don't even get it out, it just kind of wanders out. Yeah, yeah, in a display of what I would... And they think they've won. Yeah, I would just call it a display of shocking violence. But then at the start of this season of The Bear, everybody's alive again. What happened?

So that's the mystery, obviously. But I mean... Is this the lost universe where they're all dead, maybe? If you recall some of the clues, like if you've seen the previous seasons, in season one we see a flashback like Joel McHale plays Kami's boss. He's like a real mean chef and he's like, you'll never make it as a chef Kami, you're no good, you're too slow, which is why I'm going to give you this amulet that lets you reverse time. So that might be a clue. Or like there's

this- Chef Winger. Yeah, exactly. You're welcome. I like that. I don't like Jeff Winger. No. That's good. It's different.

Yeah. Or like that time Marcus goes to Copenhagen and he meets Will Paltas' character. Yeah, I remember that. And he shows him how to, you know, and he's like, well the secret to, you know, what we're doing here, you know, you've got to leave out the pastry for a little extra time, which is why I'm going to give you this amulet that lets you reverse time. Wait, so they all have reverse time amulets, do you think? Now that I think about it, like most of the characters' backstories are about they all they all have reverse time amulets, do you think? Now that I think about it, most of the characters' backstories are about they all got given a reverse time amulet.

Do you remember when Cousin goes to work at that other restaurant? And he's got to shine the forks, and he's like, what's going on here? And he meets Olivia Coleman's character, who's like, well, it's actually about the joy of service and helping people, and you give them a beautiful experience. They'll never forget kind of thing.

And you want them to give them a moment that'll last forever. Yeah. Which is why I'm going to give you this amulet that lets you reverse time. I don't remember Sydney, the character of Sydney as well. I think her dad just has one. Yeah. Yeah.

Is that right? That's exactly right. He just has it to her. Yeah. She's like, do you have a phone charger? And he's like, no, but I have this amulet. That's your reverse time. And she's like, that'll do.

So the question of course is who is who activated their amulet? Well, is it the site because my question though is it the same amulet just going back in time might be yeah Because the amulet look the same or this light variation. No, they're all they look the same interesting. Yeah, that's not good Yeah, do you think it's possible that the characters the bear? They're all operating in parallel timelines because you never actually see any of them interact. Oh, okay Yeah, yeah, you never see any of them interact. Oh, okay. You never see them talk to each other. You never see two of the ambulance combined. No, that's true.

Like you put them together and they do a super time travel. Yeah, exactly. Anyway, did you like it? I did like it. Because a lot of people are saying that this season of The Bear, they said it's not as good. A lot of people are saying the new season of The Bear, we're doing a funny bit actually, there's no time travel elements.

I'll tell you this folks, whenever we're talking on this podcast, we mentioned a magic amulet that does something. It's probably not real. But a lot of people have been critical of this season of the bear. I think because the first episode of the season is a series of flashbacks through Kami's life at his, the various restaurants he's been working at and it's sort of maybe a little bit confusing or a little bit off-putting perhaps. Yes. But I liked that episode and I liked every subsequent episode or Matt perhaps because that one's not particularly funny. Okay, the first episode's not funny. Yeah, a lot of people like it.

A lot of people are like is this show even funny at all? Yes. It's funny. Remember that time he had a gun? Yeah. Cousin had a gun? That's funny. That's funny. Yeah. Yeah. But I think it is. Also, not every episode is funny. I agree. Yeah. But I think there's some great interactions. Later we get a lot of Maddie Matheson and all his brothers and cousins. There's a lot of that in the mid period of this season,

who are very funny. And like, just, it's got, a lot of the episodes have that element of chaos, like remember the Christmas party episode from a previous season? I don't know, I watched every episode. I've watched 10 episodes in a row. It feels like a setup for something else.

Well, they did, as I understand it that they filmed season 3 and 4 back to back I think it's only set elements of it. I think there's a lot of it. They haven't I don't know stupid idiot. I am a stupid idiot and I don't know but I thought it was good I think it's a I'm gonna watch it. Yeah, I think it's a worthy successor to the previous two seasons I'm excited to see where it goes a worthy best best worthy successor to the previous two seasons. I'm excited to see where it goes. A worthy best-seller. You hit it here first. That's exactly right. Well, I got a comic mace, but I didn't get any comic. Oh. Did you get Action Comics number one?

I wish, because I'd burn it. That's funny to me. I'm chaotic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's what people like me. So I'm not normal. I'm twisted. Not like you. Yeah. I learned from you. That's right. But I'm not like you. That's not like you So Claire was in the UK and she visited a comic store Called Megacity comic in it. Yeah comics in it, bruv

Megacity comics comics and mushy peas and And she happened to meet a listener of the show there. Oh called Joel much like Joel I guess but different Yes, and he and so she was buying gifts including for me and me No, she didn't get you anything and one of the I will talk about one another week But one that he recommended for her was Wonder Woman Dead Earth by Daniel Warren Johnson. That's a good one I haven't read it yet. I had I put it in my wish list Uh-huh. So I was like, oh no, I'm gonna buy a physical copy of that and Joel said, no, get this. It's very good. It is good. And he's had, how did he do it? How did he

know? Yeah. Anyway, he said some really kind things and listening to me. No, I don't think, I think it was just me mostly. Huh? You didn't recommend you anything except to shut up. Did he recommend me to me as a, as a podcast co-host? Yeah. I think he might've mentioned that in passing, but I think it was more like, because you're already the host and like, what is he going to do? Recommend another person? He could. Yeah, I guess he could have.

Yeah. So I really appreciate that. Claire said it was what a delightful person to meet. So yeah, it's always surprising when people have heard this. Even though I know people do listen, I know that. We don't know for sure though, it might be bots. Yeah, it might be bots. Yeah. We're on some sort of bot

Podcast downloading list for some reason for somebody else's tax evasion purposes. Yeah, I like that. Yeah me too Yeah, so I'm gonna read that this way or at some point. Yeah, I also watched the movie El Camino Italian movie yeah said entirely in it. It's it's In Italian. Yeah, but it's got Josh O'Connor, who's the underdog in Challenges. Oh, he's in that as well. Didn't he learn Italian? Did you tell me that? Yeah, he learned Italian for the movie. Or maybe he did it Abba style. He just did it. Phonetically?

Phonetically. Yeah, I don't know. Okay, cool. And it's sort of about, it's set in the 80s and it's sort of about a group of Italian kind of relic hunters. Okay. And they're, you know, just there, they're assorted trials and tribulations. Is it fun? I think it's fun. Is it Italian?

It's very Italian. Alright, okay. I like that. Alright, I will also check that out. Have you watched Elred anything else? No. No. Cool.

Oh, we're starting the Wolverine trilogy this week for Cabin in the Garbage. We're doing Wolverine Origins, X-Men Origins. And then- That's right. we're watching all of those again. Oh my god. I mean we obviously already recorded the first one and it's exactly what you remember it being. I thought it was a little better than I remember it being, if I'm honest. You're just thinking about that opening scene where they run through World War II. That's all you're thinking about. Hell yeah.

Anyway, that's this week. Should we move it along? Let's move it along to Letters. Let's move it along to Letters. Let's do it. The classic one was... Letters, oh letters, we love you, some letters, they're only a day away. We're here right now, we're gonna do Letters. You were stretching, I was doing Gangnam style. You were. And that's the difference between you and me.

It's true. If you do want to reach the show, you can simply hashtag weeklyplanetpod on Twitter. That's right. Or weeklyplanetpod at gmail.com. Here we go, Mason. Here's an email from Chase. Chase. Hey, James and Mason, last week you discussed both horror movies and the idea of YouTubers making films

in the subject of James Rolfe. It's true. The combo sparkman who asked if you've been following Chris Stuckman's journey of getting his first movie made with Shelby Oakes. Yes, and if you'd review it on the pod when it comes out I mean, yeah, we don't review every horror movie. But I maybe I think we do. Yeah, you're right We don't I put in for that like years ago. Does that mean I donate? Oh, like I'm like, yeah Yeah, I'd like to see I mean he's you said you'd like to see him fail. Let it know I did say that okay, and that's why I gave him money. He said he had some fail dollars.

I mean, I don't know what it's going to look like. Mike Flanagan is producing it and I know is at hand in like helping tweak the script and elements of it. He's a real movie star. He's a real man. What's Mike Flanagan done again? He did Doctor Sleep and Haunted House of whatever something. Yep.

He did, he's great. He did a bunch. He did. I did Haunted House of Hauntings on Netflix. Did you bought a Dracula to this island? Oh no. Remember that one? No. Remember the set on an island in the church? Yeah. Have you seen that? Yes. Great. So that's all I mean that all bodes very well. He's been copying like a lot of flack recently because it is like this line between like he's a filmmaker and also reviewing

movies so people are like, well, you can't do both or whatever, you're not doing the balance and that is a hard thing to do obviously. He did a Madame Web review where people were like, well, you didn't actually talk about Madame Web. You talked about like the state of the... Oh, I remember that. Which I guess is true. They're like, why don't you just say what you think of Madame Web?

And the thing about that video is that him being like, the state of movies is atrocious. And this is in my Madame Webbe video. Yeah, right. Uh huh. You get it, right? That he thinks it's a dreadful movie. Yeah. And that's, I mean, that's what I took from it anyway.

But did he say as a result, I think this is a dreadful movie? I don't remember. He probably didn't say that specifically. Well, then what am I to think, James? Yeah, look, honestly, good luck to him. I genuinely hope it does well. And even if it doesn't, I think he'll keep going. I think this is something that he's passionate about.

Will we review it? I don't know. I don't know if it's good. I mean, I don't know the release schedule for it. I don't know. I think it's doing a premiere at some film festivals or whatever. But yeah, we'll see. We'll see.

We'll see. Chris Stuckman, we'll see. We'll see. I'm doing the handout for money. Give me my money back. Oh, I meant can you give us additional money. No, I just want my money back. You just want it back? Okay. Have you got us additional money? No, I just want my money back. Oh, you just want it back? Okay.

Yeah. Have you got a tweet there? Oh yeah, I do. Hashtag weekly Planet Pods from Bat Cat. I was listening to your latest episode at work. Get back to work. A lot of people are listening to our latest episode. Get back to work, by the way. And I instantly had three great movies for you

that no one talks about. Gattaca, Frailty, and The 13th Floor are all amazing. No one talks about them. I've heard of the first one and the third one. I've never heard of frailty. What is frailty? I don't know. Hmm.

Frailty is when you fall over and you go, oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's Bill Paxton. Fenton walks into the FBI office asking for Officer Doyle and narrates to him how his brother killed several people on the orders of their father who supposedly are following the orders.

Sounds like spoilers to me. That's, no, that's the synopsis. Oh. Yeah. Apparently it's good. Yeah. Alright. I'll check that out.

What a stuff falling under the radar. There's a movie we have. I mean that is from 2001. Oh well. Okay. Well so is Gattaca-ish. It's 1997 maybe. Alright then.

I watched Gattaca not that long ago. I really liked it. Gattaca's amazing. Obviously. And it's about something. Who knows what? Space. I don't know. Oh, fucking Ethan Hawke gets his legs fixed.

That's, yeah. Stretched. Jude Law. Jude Law was there, yeah. I don't know. What do you want from me? Yeah. Go on, sorry. Yeah. Then they did the Australian remake of Gattaca called Get a Dog Up Here. Do you remember that one?

Yeah, it was really good. I thought it was better. Yeah, I think it's better. It's certainly ruder. It's very rude. Setting the outback. Yeah, that's right. Instead of going into space, they've got to go to Red Rooster Mason. They've got to go to Red Rooster.

Okay, all right. Yeah. They've got to get a Ripper Sub Combo. What's the third thing? Did you just get tired of doing local Australian references? Yep. I'm just doing Red Rooster from now on. I'm not doing it anymore. No matter what we say, it's going to be Red Rooster. Wow, okay. Yeah. Wow.

I haven't seen the 13th floor. Okay. Anyway, go on. Here's an email from Robert. Good three movies though, probably. Robert Lego. Lego? L-E-G-G-O.

So not Lego the toy, Lego the pasta sauce. If he was Australian, they'd call him Robert Red Rooster. They would actually, yeah. Yeah, that pasta sauce. If he was Australian, they'd call him Robert Red Rooster. They would actually, yeah. Yeah, that's right. Go on. And if he was Italian, they'd call him Robert Rosso Chimera. Would they? Yep.

All right. Anyway, let's see what Robert has to say. Okay. Gentlemen, today on the train to Parramatta for work up here in Sydney, or as we would call it Red Rooster. A fellow commuters phone rang and the ringtone was none other than the man crying Rodney sample directly from Caravan and Carpitch. I don't know if it was a combination of pride in the ringtone or disdain for who was calling

them, but they let it ring out and ring out again when the caller tried twice more before I lighted to my destination. You didn't say anything? That's interesting. I would have said something. Okay. That's me I would have said. Yeah, okay it at my destination. You didn't say anything? That's interesting. I would have said something. Okay. That's me I would have said. Yeah, okay.

Oh my god. There you go. Love what you do. Pod on. That's from Robert. We will pod on. Yeah. Thanks, Robert.

Thank you, Rodney. That's right. Rodney! Rodney! Rodney! Rodney! Rodney! Rodney!

Rodney! Rodney! Rod might go, is that Rodney? Is that Rodney? Is that Rodney? Is that the guy who shouts Rodney? You could, yeah. Maybe. I watched stuff who said, hashtag We're the Planet Pod. Listening to your review of Old Man Logan, which there's a big sandwich.co if you want

to check it out, and hearing all the characters who appear made me wonder, was the MCU better off with fewer characters? Did the licensing limitations actually save them from law overload? And if so, what does that mean for Deadpool 3? Yeah, I mean, I think the strength of the MCU initially was that they had to make it good because nobody cares. Yeah, nobody did care. Yeah, about it's the we've talked about it before the famous article that's like Marvel roles out there B team of Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, whatever. So yeah, I think when you can pick anybody, and then you can make a thousand things and

then you have to make a thousand things to those thousand things you already made. It gets complicated. It sure does. You know? Yeah. So yeah, I think there's some truth in that. What do you think? Do you think they're going to pare it down a bit after Deadpool?

Do you think maybe Deadpool? No, they're ramping up to Avengers five and seven or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. Who was, what was, do you think they're just going to straight up say in Deadpool at any point? Oh, Hey, that's, that's the blade from the TV version of Blade that nobody saw. Yes.

They're going to literally say that. That's going to happen. Yeah, I think they are too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's fun. It is fun.

That's out soon, isn't it? Very soon. What do you think? I think even at work sometimes, for the X-Men universe where you keep it as just the X-Men and not, you know, Iron Man can show up. Did somebody say that Deadpool is potentially costing $350 million?

Did you say that? That sounds about right, yeah. What do you think? Yeah, and I'm glad. Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Reynolds did have an idea to make it for under 10 million dollars. Well, he didn't do no He didn't he went way over. That was his initial idea. That's right. That's his first mistake No, I mean, there's rumors honestly wouldn't surprise me at all. Yeah, anything else Mason? What do you find one more email? You're gonna love it. Oh, yeah, this is from the outside scoop on sub stack

It could be three and a seat five million dollars or something. Maybe this is something else. scoop on sub stack. It could be $365 million or something. Maybe this is something else I'm reading. I don't know, Mason. It could be $250 million. I'm seeing this from February. I don't know. It'd be well over 200, whatever it is. Anyway, go on.

You had some emails I remember you telling me before the show. You said you've got the best emails that we've ever gotten. Those were the two best emails we've ever gotten. You've lost them. I'm gonna find another email of the best we've ever gotten. Okay.

Here's an email, James. I love emails. From Brandon. Brandon? Brandon. Brandon. Go on. God, what is this, the presidential debate?

Let's go, Brandon. Yes! Brandon says, good morning. I was thinking about Captain Marvel and I was thinking who would have been better in the role, even though one of the few who likes Brie Larson. I think it's a few. There's just a very loud... Yeah, yeah, yeah, contingent.

Yeah. And I thought of Rachel McAdams, which she was obviously in Doctor Strange. Do you think her like a few others have wasted their potential on smaller roles within the MCU? Yes. I think there's a bunch of people who are in the MCU who should have maybe held out for bigger roles. How do you think they should have held held out for bigger roles. Here's an example.

How do you think they should have held out? Yeah, William Jackson Harper. Yes, who's from the Good Place, obviously, but he's also a guy with sort of psychic powers in the quantum area. Quantum mania. Yeah. So he lives in a tiny world. Yep.

And his name's Quaz. So he's got little psychic powers. Yeah. His name's Quaz. And I guess they could later be like, he's Kwazari got trapped in the whatever But I think that's a waste. Yeah, I think yeah There's some other ones who had take on minor roles that then expand like Benedict Wong his role has expanded That's true. He's a pretty minor player. I think Randall Park's another example minor player getting more

That's all people are excited to say that's Mickelson That guy still is a silly isn't dr. Strange one could have been a great Dr. Doom. Yeah You said Bill Murray should be in more I didn't say that no No, I said it wasn't and I said Bill Murray should be in more bins been Murray. That's Not stand by that. Yeah, what about Ethan Hawke? Oh, yeah, he's moon night night Yeah, I forgot about that moon nights might their mates. I guess they're probably by to yeah. Yeah. yeah, he's Moon Knight's mate. He's not Moon Knight's mate. They're mates.

I guess they're probably mates in real life. Can't remember Moon Knight came out. I remember seeing that. I didn't mind it. I think what happened as well is a lot of A-list and probably B-list Hollywood talent who probably had Marvel sniffing around would just talk to the people they knew who had had huge Marvel roles and said, What do you think about this? Yeah, exactly. Said, Well, you don't get to act anymore.

You don't get to act for 10 years. Yeah, you you you are locked into a particular thing for 10 years. Yeah, so absolutely. Maybe you don't want to do that. Maybe. Maybe maybe some of these people who got bit parts were like, Good, I loved I would love to be in a fun. And then there's some people who like take on multiple roles.

Mahershala Ali. He's played obviously. But he was previously in a Netflix show, one of the Netflix shows. Yes he was, yeah he was in Le Cag. So you can like, I think, yeah, you can, was he? Yeah. I don't know. He was.

And then, so like you can do one thing and then you become a really really big actor and then you can come back and be like I'm gonna be a different thing. That's true. I mean Gemma Chan's two roles. That's true. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah Scott Eastwood Yep, I don't nothing in particular. I'm just just you just thinking about Scott as you often are. Yeah. Yeah Um, it's a good question though. Yeah As you often are. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. It's a good question though. Yeah.

But I mean, you know, Marvel's not the be-all and end-all. It certainly isn't. But it might be the end-all. Do you think so? Could destroy cinema. Cinema? Legacy? Dead?

Question mark? No. Kathleen Kennedy? Barbie. Kathleen Kennedy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I just got this comment actually. We're not doing hate mail. But I've been listening. I've been getting some stuff going. Oh yeah. Where is this stupid thing? Barbie, this is on our Barbie, guess did Barbie Oppenheimer video. Also from months ago. Yeah.

Okay. A year ago. Barbie was legit not a very good movie. It's Disney style children's story. Having it running for Oscars is laughable. All right. Great. I mean it is.

It's too late. It's too late. Also, it's Barbie. So yeah, it is laughable. Alright. Great. It's too late. It's too late. Also, it's Barbie. So yeah, it is a children's movie also. And it's too late. Also, the Oscars are nonsense. Don't worry about it.
