James! James, let me in! Come quickly!
I'm opening the door or hatch.
Oh, thank God you've opened the door to your house.
Yes.
Quickly, turn on the news! Look! Look!
Okay. Click.
It's weird that my remote makes that noise.
Yeah, I know, right?
It sounds like a human man saying click.
I thought you had a new TV. Still.
People of Earth,
I am Galactron,
the Chomper of Worlds.
I sit in judgment of all life in the universe.
What is this?
I have seen your art,
your culture,
your science, and I have found it wanting.
In one of your Earth hours,
I shall chomp your world.
It's kind of my thing.
Yeah, well, yeah.
Make peace with your creator.
It's pretty weird, right?
That's really weird.
How did you know that was on?
It's on every channel, man.
Is it on loop?
Because it started exactly when I turned it on.
Look, it's a bit vague.
I think maybe there was a loop.
Maybe that was a recording of the news recorded. I don't know. Okay, fair enough a bit vague. I think maybe there was a loop. Maybe that was a recording of...
Maybe the news recorded it.
I don't know.
Okay, fair enough.
Maybe...
Did you TiVo it?
I don't have TiVo.
Huh.
Yeah.
I mean, it's convenient.
It's weird how that always happens, isn't it?
When you turn the bloody...
You turn the TV on and it's just...
And it's so crisp through the audio.
Yeah, right?
I can't imagine anybody listening to this
could hear that very well.
It probably is cosmic powers.
It might just be that.
Might have got cosmic powers. Maybe it went directly in our this could hear that very well. It probably is cosmic powers. It might just be that. Might have got cosmic powers.
Maybe it went directly in our brains.
It's very possible.
I should have said just tune in with your brain, you know.
Yeah.
But James.
Yes.
Galactron's here.
He's going to destroy the bloody world, mate.
It seems that way.
And he doesn't...
Look, I've got an idea.
Okay.
Should we...
You used all the Patreon money to buy that helicopter, right?
Correct.
All right, let's get going!
We're here the highest mountain in the world
It's pretty quick. Pretty quick right? Good thing we've got this recording equipment. I know right?
There is! Galactron hear us! It's James and Maiso from Earth.
Hello.
Puny humans.
What can you possibly show me to prevent the destruction of your world?
It's right here in this bag.
It's this year's best of the weekly planet.
So we're doing that now?
Yeah, that's what we're doing.
We'll be back at the end.
Yep.
If we're all here.
Who knows?
Because of Galactron.
Because of Galactron. Because of Galactron.
Yeah.
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.
With me as always is my co-host, Nick Mason.
It's great to be here on this award-winning podcast.
Why do you say so, Mason?
We won an award!
We won the poddies!
They can never take it away from us.
We won the most popular Australian podcast.
And we won it because people who listen to the podcast voted for us.
Which is crazy.
But anyway, in celebration of winning the award, we've decided this is our new award-winning
tradition.
Anytime we win an award, so hopefully never again,
we're going to celebrate with a piping hot glass of Bovril,
which we spoke about at length last week.
It's some sort of yeast and meat-based paste
that you put into hot water and you drink it.
Yep, that's right.
All right, let's take a break.
Let's fire it up.
The Bovril boys are taking a break.
The Bovi boys.
Okay.
Okay, you got it here?
We're ready?
James, you're in the Bovril place now.
What?
I don't know if I like it.
All right.
Is this the most self-indulgent thing we've done?
No, this is...
It's not like eating a piece of chocolate cake.
Let's have a drink that we'll probably hate.
It's like the time I ordered...
It's not as bad as the time I ordered waffles, is it?
No.
Okay.
It's not as bad as that.
But I mean, collectively, it's the worst thing we've done.
Oh, yeah, definitely.
Yeah.
Here we go.
All right.
Ready?
It's not horrible.
Yeah.
But at the same time, I was kind of hoping it'd be like drinking a glass of very thin
gravy, which is maybe what in my heart of hearts I just want to do.
Yeah.
It's just drink a glass of hot gravy.
And we'll do that next time we win.
Okay, cool.
Next time we win best podcast.
Glass of gravy.
Ugh, okay.
Anyway, segment over.
Thanks again, everybody.
The victory segment is over.
Boy, is this one of my favorite things to do.
Like we did after the live show, Mason.
That's true.
Speaking of, that live show ended up costing me $242.
And I'll tell you why.
Uh-oh.
Okay, so I thought I'll save a bit of money.
I'll catch the train there and back.
I was going to get an Uber, but I thought, no, I won't do it.
Yep.
I've got a family.
I've got responsibilities.
I should have taken the Uber because it would have saved me much,
much many monies.
So I had my feet on the seat of the train.
Oh, what?
Just on the edge.
I was going to say, how did this happen?
I was like, did he miss the train and he had to,
was there surge pricing on the Uber?
What's going on?
This is a mystery, but here we go.
I've been putting my feet on the seat of trains for 20 plus years.
That's the one remnant of you being a rebellious teen that's still left.
They got me.
So I lost money on the show.
So if you want to contribute to the Patreon, that's all right.
Anyway, on with the show, Mason.
Comic Con.
Woo!
Woo!
I also woo.
It's true.
I'm just saying it's Comic Con week.
Yes, yes.
It's Christmas for nerds.
It is Christmas for nerds.
And you're a little, we're a couple of little Christmas elves just building some little bits
of wooden content on strings that little children can drag along the street.
That's right.
Rattling away.
The wheels don't quite turn properly.
No, it's always tipping over.
But we tried our best, didn't we?
But by God, does it sort of look like a dog with wheels?
Yeah, it does, doesn't it?
Yeah.
So that's good.
I'm excited for this.
Me too.
Now, Mason, we've got to talk about one more.
Oh, yeah.
That's a man who can't woo.
Oh imagine him in Hall H.
You know what I mean?
Can we get that going next year?
That's going to be the new thing. I tell you what
folks if you're a listener to this show
you're somehow making it all
Hall H. Hall H.
Hall H. The
People say why do you say H? It's my accent. This H. Hall H. Hall H, the... People say, why do you say H?
It's my accent.
This is how I talk.
I go back and forth.
I'm not sure which one's correct.
Wow.
No, it's not the way we say it.
No, for sure.
But if we could get somebody in there next year
who, when everybody woos,
just screams like they're being murdered,
that would be great.
Ah!
What about Godzilla?
What do you give that?
Big ol' woo?
Big ol' woo.
Ah!
Alright, but the two trailers that are the big comic ones that were released, first off
we had Aquaman.
Yes.
Which people were a little lukewarm on, Mason.
I haven't asked you what you think of it yet.
What do you think of it?
It's a little bit by the numbers, which I understand.
I understand why they're doing that, because they're resetting.
They're resetting.
They're resetting.
Are you going to do that voice for the rest of the podcast?
I might have to, Mason.
I'm stuck in it.
You're committed to it.
Oh, no.
Now I'm committed to it as well.
I'm not happy about this.
I'm not happy with what I've started.
This is a shame.
This is really...
Oh, this isn't working.
But it's kind of fun to do it, isn't it?
And we're out.
I'm not.
I'm still in it.
I know.
I thought I was out too, but I'm not.
You brought me back into it because you're still in it.
Sorry.
Keep going.
I'll let the dog out.
All right.
Who let the dog out?
Mason did.
He's letting out the dog.
Who let the dog out?
The dog's out.
There she goes.
There she's gone.
What do we got?
Speaking of Warner Brothers movies, though, they are kicking goals, I would say, other
than the DC Universe
and the Harry Potter Universe.
Okay, sure.
Because the Lego...
They have some franchises left.
They do.
The Lego movie,
the second part,
the second one
has another trailer.
It's Mad Max,
but it's Lego
and Batman's in it
and Duplo
and all those kinds.
Did you see the first one?
No, I've seen Lego Batman,
but I haven't seen
the first Lego movie.
You get it then.
I get stuff, sure.
What do you think of this trailer then?
I don't.
The trailer, it felt like every time I see one of these trailers,
it's this very much like it does that thing that I've been sick of for years
where it's just like, here's a big dramatic thing,
but then I'm wacky.
Here's a big dramatic build.
Then a wacky joke.
Here's a big dramatic build.
And I'm doing a fart.
You know, it's just. And I'm doing a build, and I'm doing a fart, you know, it's just...
And I'm doing a fart.
And I'm doing a...
Precisely.
I want a trailer where somebody says, and I'm doing a fart.
So, there's a lot of DC news this week.
Jeff Johns will apparently be stepping away from his executive post as President and Chief
Creative Officer of DC Entertainment to focus on creative matters full time.
Is he stepping away from the movies to finish
Doomsday Clock? Is that... That's a good question.
Do you read the current one? No, I'm still
not up to date. We can't do whatever it was.
Watchman Watch? Yeah, that was three weeks
ago I think we were talking about this. Yeah.
But part of this though,
because people are like, well, is this a demotion?
Is this a sidestep? Is this a personal reason?
Is this because of the shake-up of Warner Brothers?
But this is going to include him launching Mad Ghost Productions.
Mad Ghost Productions!
Mad Ghost!
Mad Ghost!
Mad Ghost!
If you're listening, Geoff Johns, and we know you're not,
if you're looking for a slogan,
it's just two guys shouting Mad Ghost.
So, Mad Ghost.
You know, Bad Hat Harry Productions,
when it closes, it's like,
that's some bad hat harry
or whatever
it's just
it's us going
bad ghost
bad ghost
we're doing
hand gestures as well
we're doing
wild gang signs
I guess it's kind of
like the
Chris Nolan
because his
production company
kind of handled
a lot of the
dark knight
what's his one
called again
I don't know
is he British
production is he British Is he British production?
Is he British?
Is he British?
Is he from Boston?
Is he both?
Did he grow up?
I think he's British.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Mad Goose!
I was going to say, the only reason I asked for the name of his production company is
so I could yell it.
Okay, right.
Legendary?
No, it's not Legendary.
No, it's the one with the maze.
You know the one?
Syncope?
Syncope!
Is that it? It's Syncope. Okay one? Syncope? Syncope! Is that it?
It's Syncope.
Okay, yeah.
Good.
Syncope!
In other news, Mason,
of people leaving things,
Danny Boyle has officially left
Bond 25.
Untitled Bond.
I don't know.
Anyway, I think this is
a terrible idea.
I mean, as we know, Mason,
we both agree that Sunshine
is the best movie ever made.
No.
Do you even really believe that it's the best movie ever made?
We both believe it, Mason.
Do you think it's the best movie ever made?
It's a movie that was made and it is the best one.
So yes, that is what I believe.
Such a, what a bold claim by you.
You can't think of a single other movie that might be better.
Can you?
I mean, not currently.
Because we've said that, you've said Sunshine and I'm so filled with rage that I can't think of...
You know when somebody's like...
Logan Lucky's pretty good.
I watched that this week.
It's a good movie.
Yeah, it is a good movie.
That's true.
When somebody's like,
name a movie
and you're like,
I can't think of a single movie.
Yeah.
I can't now.
See?
Tarzan.
That's not...
Why would that one be the one?
Yeah, anyway.
So I don't know what direction this is going to go.
People are speculating that maybe Craig's going to walk away.
But I don't imagine...
Craig David?
Yeah.
Like that song he did?
Very good.
Well done.
But he looks so happy with himself about that.
I'm trying to think of a way to tweet that.
It's impossible.
Guys. Guys, just a bit of backstory.
Remember the artist Craig David?
He had a song called Walking Away.
Anyway, second tweet.
Here we go.
No, I don't know.
Mason, it was a great week for seeing Batman's dick.
Absolutely.
I think it might have been the best week in history
if I had to think about it, which I am and I will and I do.
I can't.
I mean, this is very...
It's momentous, isn't it?
I think it's probably since the Schumacher era of Batman Codpiece.
Yeah, for sure.
I mean, we've got nipples back in the day.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Plenty of bat butt.
Plenty of bat butt.
This is the premise, I think, of this.
It's a limited series called Batman Damn.
Yeah.
Batman Damn!
Damn!
I bet I'm the first person to make that joke i was gonna make it i'll be honest with you if you didn't then i was the
first yeah exactly the joker turns up dead and batman is a suspect or something like that yeah
and uh he's like i can't be the suspect because look at my dick look at it now there's a bit of
controversy not so much that you see Batman's dick.
Most people seem to be okay with that.
But in the digital version, it's altered, so you can't.
Right.
And people are like,
well, that's kind of suppressing freedom of expression or whatever.
I don't like seeing a dick as much as the next person,
but I'll be damned if you're censoring dicks.
As Voltaire said, I'll disagree with seeing the dick,
but I'll defend to the death your right to see a dick
in a Batman comic.
I don't care about whether it's in or out.
I think the comic is fine.
I don't think it's as bad as people say, and it is a first issue.
There's some ideas in it that I really like, and the art is really good.
Okay, because of the dick.
Because of the dick, yeah.
It really pops.
It really looks like it's coming right at you.
Yeah, right. But I reckon you should give it really looks like it's coming right at you yeah right
but I reckon
you should give it a rate
it's erection heavy
and erection heavy
it's not erection heavy
I don't think
we've never seen
Batman's erect penis
in comic
that's so true
yet
yet
Batman damned issue 2
3 and 4
now's the time
to make that happen
yeah
it's not a big deal
to put a dick
in a comic either
like sex criminals
do it all the time
there's a bunch of other comics that do it it's just because it's Batman yeah sex criminals to put a dick in a comic either you know like sex criminals do it all the time there's a bunch of other comics to do it's just because it's bad sex criminals do
put dicks in comics all the time they cut a hole in it so yeah it's just because it's batman uh
but hey i'd love to know what anyone thinks of this i guess yeah for sure yeah i think some
people are upset because it canonically says what kind of dick Batman has.
You know what I mean?
Because prior to this, it was a mystery.
Now we don't.
Oh, man.
Now it's more or less relatable, depending, you know?
Yes.
$6.99 Australian.
So, yeah, that's quite a lot.
But the art is really good.
Prestige edition.
That's right.
Yeah.
Dick edition.
Dick edition, yeah.
You might like this news.
Basically, Ava DuVernay, she's going to be directing the New Gods movie over at DC.
That's right.
I like the sound of this a lot.
Me too.
I didn't think they'd get around to New Gods.
Explain the New Gods, Mason.
Well, the New Gods, so in the DC universe, you know what?
They're more omnipotent than the Marvel Gods.
Yeah.
You know, you've got a character like, there's a character called Metron who basically, he sits in a time
travel chair and he has control over space
and time. But he chooses not to use it
most of the time. Except for pizzas.
Sometimes pizzas. Yeah, he does
that. He's like, hmm, it seems
you got here in 31 minutes
so now my pizza's free.
And the pizza guy's like, but I
left early at everything.
What?
What? What?
What?
This is what he does.
His face at times is just flying around him.
And his boss is back at the pizza joint like, this guy.
I knew I couldn't trust this new guy.
People are also saying, Wrinkle in Time didn't do well.
Why is she getting this?
A lot of directors fail upwards.
Every director in Hollywood fails upwards.
There's so many.
Your star dips slightly and then you get given another block.
It's fine.
Until some weird personal thing comes out about your life
and then you're forced to quit forever.
Exactly, that's true. That's the trajectory. Yeah. like some weird personal thing comes out about your life and then you're forced to quit forever.
Exactly, that's true.
That's the trajectory.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Anyway, speaking of people with weird personal lives,
Charlie Clawson, our friend.
Yes.
I think he should be Mr. Miracle.
You've mentioned that before.
I agree.
I think he'd be a great Mr. Miracle. He's got that rugged charm.
He's got the bod.
He's got what it takes, Mason.
He's got what it takes, exactly.
Yeah.
He's got that world-weary charm about him.
Exactly.
And stubble.
He's got stubble. He's mostly the stubble. exactly and stubble he's got he's mostly
the stubble agreed yeah anyway let's get let's get a hashtag going charlie for mr miracle very
good i'm gonna tweet it once and it will get no traction no he would be it would legitimately be
a good mr miracle i think he's been on the show before as people i'm sure remember which is the
one qualification that's being one of the new gods that's right who else can we get matt stewart matt stewart can be orion exactly ben vanell metron claire can be

oh dog's here i let the dog in hello dog who let the dog in claire did claire did she did
i'm sorry can we help you, Greg?
Busting in on our podcast time.
I'm sorry.
I just need the USB to watch Three Billboards.
Oh, there.
Sorry.
What do you mean?
But aren't you going to the movies to watch Three Billboards?
Because it's not out.
I am going to the movies to watch Three Billboards.
Nobody needs the USB for.
That's weird.
It's plugged in.
It's on top.
It's sitting on top there.
There.
On here.
Yeah, that's it. What's happening here, Mason That's weird. It's plugged in. It's on top. It's sitting on top there. There. On here. Yeah, that's it.
What's happening here, Mason?
I don't know.
Remember when we used to do a podcast, Unencumbered?
I didn't have a family.
But what were you going to do?
What were you going to mime three billboards to me?
You're going to charades it to me.
Jake, you should warn me before I burst in.
You're right.
This is my fault.
Okay, bye, Claire.
Bye.
Oh, boy. Trouble in paradise. I tell you what, Mason. Yeah. This is my fault. Okay, bye, Claire. Bye. Oh, boy.
Trouble in paradise.
I tell you what, Mason.
Yeah.
I don't know if it's meant to last.
Can I admit that to you here?
Yeah.
It's just us listening.
No, she's great.
What else we got here?
Ah, Mason.
Yes.
It's time to get into some weird comic book shit that probably won't work.
You excited?
I'm ready.
Yeah.
Okay.
Vin Diesel has joined the movie bloodshot as the
character that's bloodshot incredible what do you think about that bloodshot if you if you're not
aware of bloodshot he's like an albino man he's got a big like a red mark on his on his head and
he's like the ultimate nanite powered super soldier yes uh and he's like ripped beyond like
you could ever believe he's like early 2000s XXX ripped. Exactly. But Vin Diesel is an egg in a vest,
as we've established many times.
He's an egg in a vest.
I mean, he's a fit man for his age.
He's certainly more fit than us.
Definitely.
But he's not this.
Yeah.
Now, I like Vin Diesel a lot,
and I like Fast and Furious movies,
and probably that movie where he hunted witches
was also really good.
I bet it was.
And I love XXX too, sort of.
Me too.
Do you mean three? XXX still had Ice Cube in it. Yes, I do. I bet it was. And I love XXX2, sort of. Me too. Do you mean 3?
XXX2 had Ice Cube in it.
Yes, I do.
I do mean 3.
Well, I haven't seen 2,
so that's why I call XXX3 XXX2.
You know that, right?
Remember that part in XXX3
where we all think they're done for
and then XXX2 shows up
and everybody's like,
it's XXX2, he's got a grenade launcher.
Remember that?
I remember so much of that movie.
Oh, so good
remember when he went and picked up his gross coat yeah just like a dead rat it was horrible
like banged like 18 women or whatever it was oh very believable they should i hope they make
another one me too yeah speaking of uh movies that could very well be bad, I don't think this will be bad necessarily,
but that Venom trailer is no good.
It's absolutely no good.
What would they think?
Here's an idea.
What I'd like everybody out there to do is get the Venom trailer on your phone.
Yep.
Don't give any context.
Show it to a friend of yours or like a family member or something, somebody who doesn't know anything about superhero movies
or they're not into it or whatever.
Show them the trailer so there's no wrong answers.
What is this movie about?
And see what their reaction is.
Absolutely.
Because I think a lot of people will be like,
is it about a guy who has cancer?
Is this another one of those Jason Bourne movies without Jason Bourne?
Yeah.
What is this?
Exactly, yeah.
It's a really, yeah, it's a great experiment.
If people could get back to us on doing that.
Look, answers were many and varied.
Yes.
Ross McQueen said, showed it to my dad and he said,
some guy gets bit by a snake and turns into a superhero.
I don't know, some Marvel crap, they're all the same.
So that's fair.
Alex Hill said. A snake or some crap. I don't know, some Marvel crap, they're all the same. So that's fair. Alex Hill said...
A snake or some crap.
Yeah, pretty good, right?
I didn't see any snakes in the trailers.
But you know what?
On a surface level, a lot of superhero movies
are just something like that.
Exactly.
This is an insight into the genre that we love,
is if you show it to an external party,
they're like, this is just some garbage.
What, does he get bitten by a
dog and he turns into a super dog
this is garbage that's so stupid
what are you doing get a real job pay some taxes
um
Alex Hill says I showed
his girlfriend the Venom trailer
uh her comments are below
oh Tom Hardy I like him
that's fair is this
this means war too?
Oh, wait.
It's one of those dumb movies you like.
Maybe they haven't finished the Venom design.
Maybe they're literally like, we don't know what he's supposed to look like yet.
We'll have to give him the giant snappy jaw.
I think so.
Yeah.
And that's the tooth.
The sharp tooth.
Oh, yes.
Very good.
It's good that we both know when a thing we did was very good.
Because God knows nobody out there thinks it's very good.
Only us in the moment know that us just giving a bit of a snap to the teeth
directly in the microphone
was in fact very good it was very good okay mason what's next oh this is a good thing to talk about
avengers infinity war has a brand new trailer what mason i had a breakdown and did a trailer
breakdown for this yes for this film uh it's like 15 minutes was this a surprise to you no i knew
it was coming for about two weeks, but I didn't know exactly.
So I kept kind of like, it felt like.
What are you going to do though?
Well, it's not the same because I need to clear a day to do it, a day and a night.
Yeah, right.
So it felt like when Claire was pregnant and I couldn't do anything for two weeks.
Right.
I'm like, well, I can't drink.
I can't leave the house.
Uh-huh.
But it wasn't that bad.
All I could do was work on trailer break.
Yeah.
So then it did come out
on the day of my mother-in-law's birthday
so there was a good chunk of time then
that I couldn't work on it
but then I did work on it
anyway it's out
I'll link it below
it's got so many details
also I say that Age of Ultron came out in 2014
twice in the video
and that is incorrect
so there's hundreds of comments correcting me
oh no
when did it come out?
2015
okay then probably you know what I'm going to say it's still 2014 I'm right yeah hundreds of comments correcting me. Oh, no. When did it come out? 2015. Okay, then.
Probably.
You know what?
I'm going to say it's still 2014.
I'm right.
Yeah.
What did you think?
Time's just a construct, man.
Exactly.
My pizza's late.
I got a question for you.
Yes.
What color is the Vision's face?
It's red.
Is it?
You think it's purple, but it's not. I think it's purple, but a lot of people...
I actually looked at the actual color of it.
It's not red.
No, he's red.
No, no.
I've looked at the actual color of it.
Of what?
Of his face is not red.
I've got the actual pigment of it and I've checked.
How did you do that?
Some of us...
In an image...
Thanos is purple.
Yeah, I'm not saying he's purple purple.
You're saying it's a different shape.
It's more like a, it's more like a pinky purple.
It's a pinkish red.
He's a pinkish red at best.
Okay.
He's not purple though.
You keep saying he's purple.
I'm going to keep saying it.
No, no, no.
Maybe I'm colorblind.
I think you are.
Maybe I don't know what colors are.
Maybe that's probably true.
Yeah.
Fair enough.
All right.
If you Google the vision.
Yeah. The first comic book based results, he'll be he'll be red no no i'm not talking about comic
books i'm talking about the movies no no you are mason uh he just did his little nano rocket boost
thing i'm just watching the trailer again the things that i missed what did you miss anything
no i've never missed anything why would you that's right it's getting uh we'll let we see
we see shuri's back yep yep i don't think she's gonna play much she's examining the vision in some
way um uh let's say i don't know man some of these images he looks very purple he's definitely
pinkish we can agree on that right in the tom king's pink. Yeah. But I think that the idea is he's meant to be more human in that.
I don't know.
I think also the green offsets it a little bit, like the color.
Like it throws it a bit.
I mean, look at that.
That's not red.
It's reddish.
Well, purple is reddish.
It's beetroot.
He's beetroot.
Can we agree that he's beetroot?
I can absolutely agree that he's beetroot.
There's a new Avengers TV spot.
There's a few clips and bits and pieces in it.
Nothing too spectacular.
Put it on their website.
Lock it down.
All right, I will.
Yeah, good.
Yeah.
But here's something interesting.
Yes.
Chris Evans says he's going to say goodbye to Captain America after Avengers 4.
His exact quote was...
I'm out of here, suckers.
You want to get off the
train before they push, is what
he said. Is he referring to his role in
Snowpiercer? It's a Snowpiercer metaphor, yes.
I thought this would be a good opportunity to talk about
who could continue the role after he's
gone. I've talked about this before.
How about this one?
Yes. Ready for this? No.
Jon Favreau, you do it at comedy.
You make a happy Hogan.
Happy America.
Yeah.
Nice.
What do you think of that?
Yes.
They'd never do it.
Swingers.
Made.
He's in a food truck.
Exactly.
Going around America.
He's cooking up.
He's cooking something up in the shield like it's a wok.
He's cooking up a brisket in the back of the shield.
Yum, yum, yum.
Love a brisket. They won't do it, Yum, yum, yum. Love a brisket.
They won't do it, but... No.
I think that could work. Yeah, for sure.
Or, he has to, like, road
trip Captain America's shield
across the country or something.
Nice. And he's getting into scrapes.
Well, he's always shipping
shield tech, isn't he? Exactly, yeah. So maybe
the Quinjet breaks down and he has to
hitchhike. He has to hoof it.
Exactly.
He meets all the weird characters along the way.
Exactly.
He meets that guy who's a weird space trucker.
He meets all the weird characters they don't know what to do with,
but they own, so they've got to use him at some point.
I love it.
You could either call it Happy America or Happy's America.
Yeah.
Because he's seeing all of America's.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
I'm a genius
it's very good
I would love to see
like Cap Hydra
modern day
with Chris Evans
yeah right
like rest him for
five years or whatever
bring him back
say he's killed
in Infinity War
bring him back
but he's evil
exactly
like Red Skull
brings him back
the cube
yeah
messed with his brain
or whatever
they should absolutely
do that
so these are all
great ideas
there's not a bad
one among them.
That is quite a lot like the Winter Soldier.
Yes.
Being evil.
I think that's an interesting arc as well.
Okay.
Because everyone's like,
yay, Captain America's back.
Oh no, he's the worst now.
You know?
There's some free dialogue for you, Marvel.
Oh no, he's the worst now.
Give that to Happy Hogan.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Mason, I know you'd love to talk Captain America all day.
Happy's Hoagies.
That's the name of the truck that he's trucking across America.
Very good.
Very good.
What's next, Mason?
I don't know.
What do you got?
Oh, yeah.
That's right.
I do this.
Sometimes I have news, but very rarely.
You were giving so much information.
I thought you were doing the news this week.
Amy Pascal, who you know is a big head honcho over at Sony.
Boy, do I ever know that.
Responsible for a lot of the pretty bloody hot run that's happening there at the moment.
And also a bunch of bad stuff.
She says she's hoping they're committing Spider-Man to the MCU after Spider-Man Far From Home.
They are committing him?
Yes.
Okay.
So they're not going to claim him back.
They're not going to be like, we had one successful thing
and one inexplicably successful thing.
Yeah.
We're taking him back.
I don't necessarily think this means anything.
Like, at this point.
I mean, it doesn't mean,
it's not bad news.
We'll just got to see,
because things change, you know?
Yeah, right.
Success and failure, you know.
Are one and the same.
Correct.
They're two sides of the same coin?
Yeah, I guess they are.
Yeah.
Anyway, these guys...
I knew I'd hit some wisdom eventually.
You just say random things together.
Just keep saying things.
Yeah.
It's a roll of the dice?
It's a roll of the dice, yeah.
Yeah.
So, okay, good.
Yeah.
Sometimes things are just crazy enough to work, you know?
Sometimes they...
Yeah, that's good, Mason.
Two sides of the same coin.
That's right.
Isn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah. It's a real flip of the pancake. Is that an right isn't it yeah yeah it's a real flip of pancake is that an expression it is now it's a real flip
of the pancake i make a lot of pancakes yeah my kid loves banana pancakes that's all i do in the
morning the jack johnson song no i will never allow that in my house that's a good song i like
the song it's a fun song it's a fun song okay It's a fun song. Okay. Before we talk...
You don't...
Don't...
Look, all I'm saying is do not disallow Jack Johnson in your house
because otherwise that's all the kids are going to be listening to.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, you're probably right.
If you're like, I will not have any Jack Johnson in my house.
Soon enough, he's going to be bringing in a djembe.
Yeah, that's exactly it.
Got a 12-string guitar.
I won't have it.
Just quickly, Mason.
People think you need flour in pancakes.
Not true.
You can do a flourless pancake.
Wow.
Two eggs, cracking two eggs.
Flour's where all the taste is, but continue.
Disagree.
Two eggs, one banana, cinnamon, just a pinch of bloody baking powder.
That's all you need.
I thought you were going to say a pinch of bacon.
Yeah.
I put in protein powder also, but if it's for a kid, that's all you need.
Unless you want a really bulky kid.
Yeah, unless you want a really bulky, white as a fridge kid.
Yep.
That's what you want.
Yeah.
So I'm just saying, there's a little recipe you can do at home, all right?
Okay, put that in your pocket for later.
Yeah, okay.
Chuck some fruit on there afterwards if you want and maybe some coconut yogurt.
It's up to you.
Wow.
Yeah.
It's dairy free.
It's gluten free.
You know what I mean?
Yep.
It doesn't sound like it's fructose free if you throw in some fruit on there, though.
Well, it depends on the fruit you put in it, Mason.
I mean, most fruit, if not all, has fructose.
I don't know that for a fact.
Anyway, what's wrong with fructose?
I don't know.
Some people don't like fructose.
Some people are also allergic to fructose.
And if you have, say, an acid reflux, it can have dire consequences.
Yeah.
You'll shit your pants.
All right. That's not true. Yeah. You'll shit your pants.
That's not true.
Okay.
It might be.
Mason, what do you think of Scott Derrickson returning for Doctor Strange 2 in 2020?
Cool.
We're going to get the return of the ancient one.
No, she's dead.
But maybe.
Wong.
Rachel McAdams.
Yeah.
Rachel McAdams.
Benjamin Bratt.
Yep.
The Lamborghini that went off a cliff.
Maybe.
It's back and it talks now.
I smashed your hands.
I'll do it again.
Oh, I thought he'd be penitent.
No.
Sorry about your hands.
No, no.
Oh, wow.
You're on your phone.
You did this.
Come at me, bro.
Also, I like how he's not Italian.
He's Italian.
He's just from wherever.
Well, it's like Dr. Strange. Where's he from? Yeah, just from wherever. Well, it's like Doctor Strange.
Where's he from?
Yeah, that's true. Just a generic whatever accent.
Yeah.
Okay, did you think Henry Cavill...
Hands up, ten and two!
Goggles and gloves, wear a seatbelt!
Won't tell you again!
Brian Michael Bendis is to write a mystery X-Men movie
that's currently titled 143.
The rumour has it, though, that it's actually a kiddie pride story.
What does 143 stand for?
143 refers to it.
If you just wait a second, Mason.
All right.
You just tripped me up in the middle of my bloody...
That was the plan, yes.
I'm doing a podcast here, mate.
Wait, is that what we're doing?
What is this?
I thought you cared about my opinions.
143 refers to her first solo adventure.
It's not an introduction, but first solo adventure where she faces a demon alone in the X mansion,
which sounds great.
It could be Kitty Pryde's Logan.
Maybe.
How's your Patrick Stewart?
Let me check.
Logan.
It's not bad.
It's not bad, right?
It's old, like he's been punched in the chest. Yeah, that's right. Logan. That's good, too. Thank you. Mama's not bad. Not bad, right? It's like old, like he's been punched in the chest.
Yeah, that's right.
Logan.
That's good too.
Thank you.
Mine was different.
Mine was more like, come on.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We'll come back to that though.
Okay.
Another week.
If people could suggest scenarios for us,
I think it'd be a good test for us
and our incredible impressions.
Yeah.
Suggest scenarios in which Patrick Stewart
as Professor X has to use the word Logan and then we'll do our best impressions. Yeah. Suggest scenarios in which Patrick Stewart as Professor X has to use the word Logan and
then we'll do our best impressions of that.
If you could email in or tweet at us.
Yeah, definitely.
That would be good.
All right, Mason.
I feel like this has been real low energy.
Is that cool?
I think it's been very high energy.
Wow.
Yeah, that's right.
Okay.
We have different perspectives, don't we?
Hang on.
I'm just going to stop.
I'm just going to look up something real quick.
What are you looking up?
Just a thing.
What are you looking up? All right. Just a bloody bloody thing you're typing boobs into google again mason uh no uh don't believe you last week we asked the listeners
to tweet at us to do our impression of professor x all right if you both do our impression of
professor x yeah yeah right um where we at what do we got let's see. Okay, so this is Professor X is in the bathroom
and needs Logan to quickly bring toilet paper.
This is for you.
What?
I bet you have an easier one.
I'll find it.
I'll find a really difficult one.
Okay, hang on.
Logan!
Logan!
Pretty good.
What was that like?
No, it was good.
Tell me to find you one.
Okay.
No, no, you just pick one.
It's fine.
Let's see
okay
so this is from
Cole Krause
it's Cole Krause
on Twitter
Professor X
trying to get
Logan's attention
as he's walking
out the door
after finding out
Professor X
is having another
man's baby
there's so many
layers to this
a lot of layers
a lot to convey
in one word
yeah right
okay
you can do this
okay
Logan it was like remorse yeah there's a lot in that I'm going to convey in one word. Yeah, right. Okay. You can do this. Okay. Logan.
It was like remorse.
Yeah.
There's a lot in that.
I was expecting anger and you went a different way.
I'm going to shake it out.
I thought that was really good.
All right.
All right.
Logan.
It's much the same.
You had your hand up in that one.
Yeah, it's all right.
It was a little act out.
It helps, I think.
Yeah.
Anyway, we'll do a couple more of those until we forget.
Until we forget it's a thing and then we'll stop doing it. That's right. Which was a little act out. It helps, I think. Definitely. Anyway, we'll do a couple more of those until we forget. If you've got suggestions. Until we forget it's a thing and then we'll stop doing it.
That's right.
Which will probably be very soon.
This is a rumour relating to the X-Men.
Again, these are all rumours.
It's probably bullshit.
Sick of these rumours.
Yeah.
What's the definitive answers?
You want more?
Here's some definitive stuff, Mason.
Okay, great.
It's not a small rumour.
That's exactly the opposite of what I wanted.
Apparently, Marvel President Kevin Fahey.
It's pronounced Dennero.
Dennero Fahey.
Thank you.
He's, even though he said he hasn't given any thoughts to the X-Men and Fantastic Four
at this stage, Velika claims that he wants to bring in Galactus and the Silver Surfer
into the MCU.
So that would be an interesting way to kind of herald the arrival of the fantastic herald yeah that's what i'm saying
mason i'm using no i picked no you no you did it wasn't an accident you did that accidentally and
i've picked up on it because silver surfer is a herald of galactus you know what i genuinely think
it was an accident no give yourself some credit what so now that I'm giving it to you, you don't want it? Nah, I don't want it anymore.
Yuck.
So, yeah, I think that would...
I mean, would you want to see giant Galactus?
Yes.
Not a cloud.
Not a cloud.
Like a big...
Big purple man, big horn helmet thing.
But yeah, I mean, the Ultimates, which is a Marvel comic book series.
Yeah.
A couple of the opening storylines for that.
It was The Ultimates, which includes Black Panther
and Captain Marvel sort of taking on Galactus.
Yeah.
So chuck that in there.
Maybe.
Get cosmic.
Love it.
Get cosmic.
Get cosmic, Mason.
That's my new catchphrase.
Wow.
Get cosmic, Mason.
It's just for you.
The catchphrase applies to nobody else.
And in what context? Just to get you motivated. Oh, it's just for you. The catchphrase applies to nobody else. And in what context?
Just to get you motivated.
Oh, it's a motivational thing.
If you see Mason on the street, you tell him to get cosmic, all right?
Get cosmic, if you could.
Tell him on Twitter.
Yep.
Just get cosmic, all right?
I want to get cosmic.
I'm so excited for that now, to be honest.
I won't lie to you.
I'm like, oh, this is going to be great.
You're going to love it.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah.
Unless people start throwing stuff.
Yeah.
That's not part of getting cosmic, by the way.
That doesn't help, does it?
No.
So I just heard the door slam.
I was going to check if there's anybody in my house.
Yeah, okay.
Everybody be cool, just for a sec.
It was just Greg slamming doors.
My wife, Greg.
She loves a door slam.
I don't know if you know that about her, Mason.
I didn't know that. sometimes when my son's asleep my hun my son's asleep no he sleeps less when the hun's asleep but the hun never sleeps by war bonds if he's having a nap during the day i'm like listen
i know you're going out can you just not slam the door in your way she's like i never slam the door
and i'm like you slam it literally every time. Can you just please? And she's like, how dare you?
She just did it.
Just did it then.
Did everybody just hear that?
Just did it then.
And she'll just slam it.
And I'm like, look, I'm not having a go at you.
I'm not trying to start a fight.
Just please don't slam the door.
Wow.
This is really going to start a fight if your wife listens to this podcast,
which she will not.
I don't mind putting some insights into a failing marriage into a podcast, Mason.
Okay, terrific.
You know that about me.
I'm very open to that.
Absolutely, yeah.
Checking this is all happening, Mason.
I think it is.
Oh, yeah, it's working.
Oh, yeah, nice.
Bloody getting into it.
There's some big stuff happening this week.
Ready Player One screened at South by Southwest festivals, whatever it was.
Is that what that festival's for?
SX, SX. Again, I thought that was a music festival. I thought that what that festival's for? SX.
SX.
Again, I thought that was a music festival.
I thought that was all for people holding up their phones.
No.
And filming a Weezer.
That's the most current reference I have.
Filming Weezer, yeah.
And then people, like the emblem logo came up at the start,
you know, the E.T.
Yeah, for sure, yeah.
And people cheered and they,
It's E.T.!
Ah! He's in a little basket and a bike. Yeah, for sure, yeah. And people cheered and they, It's E.T.!
He's in a little basket and a bike!
Oh my God!
Yeah, that was pretty much it.
Mason, do you love Uwe Boll?
The director of Postal and... Other Crap?
Other Crap, yes, for sure.
Good.
What's he done this time?
He's suing Warner Brothers for taking the name Rampage
from his Rampage trilogy of films.
Because the movie Rampage, as you know,
is not based on a video game from the 80s.
No.
It's a new thing that they stole.
That's correct, yes.
From who they bowl.
Amazing.
And Postal's just about a guy who goes,
that's based on a video game.
How can he not know there are movies based on video games?
And it's just a movie about, again, a guy who just That's based on a video game. How could he not know there are movies based on video games? And it's just a movie about
again, a guy who just gets mad
at society and just goes on a shooting rampage.
He also has a movie from 2011 called
Blubberella.
What's that? Please read that out.
I mean, you can probably guess.
An action
comedy centered on an overweight woman
whose footsteps cause explosions
and whose dual swords are used against anyone who makes fun of her.
It's also set in 1940 in Germany.
There's a character called Vag.
But it's not Blabarella.
Clint Howard's in it.
There's a character
who's addicted to blood
I should drink in blood
Blubberella's half vampire
okay
there's so much in that
I'm not finished
Blubberella loves nothing better than
killing Nazis and a substantial turkey
on ride
wow this sounds like fun Nazis and a substantial turkey on rye.
Wow.
This sounds like fun.
So she's overweight
and it's the 40s
and she drinks blood.
And eats turkey on rye.
Hitler's in it.
This is the last line of this synopsis
which has been submitted by Anonymous,
so I can only imagine why.
Blubberella, she's coming big time.
Oh, God.
Why?
Anyway, Urvabol, look, yeah, good on him.
Good stuff.
Some of the best stuff.
Fuck him and everything he's ever done.
Yeah.
Okay.
Get out of here.
Creed 2 got a new trailer, though.
Yes, it did.
First trailer.
So wait, this isn't set immediately after Creed 1?
Like a few years after.
What happened at the end of Creed 1?
He won.
He was Creed.
Okay.
Because at the start of this trailer...
Or was he?
Or did he?
See, that's what I'm saying.
Because at the start of this trailer, he's clearly been beaten to a pulp by someone.
Yeah, right.
Okay, maybe he didn't.
Okay, let's see.
Conlon won the fight, but Creed won the night.
Okay.
What if this opens with,
Creed, why are you...
What are you doing?
I mean, you lost that one by quite a close margin,
but the rest have been very, very distant margins.
You were getting pulped out there, mate.
This is not good.
I think you fluked that narrow loss last time.
You're bad at boxing mate
I don't know who this guy is
The Australian reporter in the pit
I know he was his coach
That was the coach
His coach is Rocky
Oh he's got a new coach
He's got a new coach
He's Australian and he's incredulous
What are you doing mate?
What are you doing mate?
What were you doing before this?
Maybe go back to that
What was he doing?
I can't remember
Just boxing I think
Yeah he's just boxing
He was just always boxing
I like that character a lot
Maybe he'll be back one day
I hope so
Oh no I've fallen down
Well I'm dead now
He won't be coming back
He won't be coming back
This is kind of exciting news Mason
They're making a legendary
And making a live action Gundam film
Oh that's exciting
Gundam style
Now does that mean
Gundam style
Now I get it
Do you remember that song?
Yes I remember it
I'm referencing it
Yeah I remember
Yeah we all remember Psy
We get it
Does Legendary also operate King Kong and Godzilla?
Yes, they do.
And Pacific Rim.
Oh, mate.
But who...
So, do you think that's what they're doing here?
No, I don't think so.
Yeah, because this is a...
What do you know about this?
I've only seen clips of this show as a kid.
I'm like, this looks great, but I've never seen it.
I'll be honest, I don't know anything about it.
I know it's the future.
I know there's a big statue. There's a big Gundam statue in Japan.
Gundam style.
Gundam style, exactly.
What sort of Gundam do you want?
Do you want the basic looking Gundam?
I think you need to start there, don't you?
Yeah, I think you probably do.
I mean, as a huge fan of the series, that's what I want to see.
As someone who knows the lore and knows the continuity and what is and isn't.
And I know that it's not Robotech.
Like, I know all these things. You're aware that it's not Robotech. Like, I know all these things.
You're aware that it's not Robotech.
You get it.
That's what I want to say.
You know one of these fly-by-night Gundam fans who's like,
oh, man, I love Gundam.
I love Gundams and Robotechs.
I love it when they're friends.
You know that they're not friends.
Why would they be friends?
Robotechs transform into fighter planes.
Gundams don't transform into fighter planes, probably.
They probably don't.
Probably don't.
As far as I'm aware, they...
As a big fan, we're pretty sure they're not.
I know that they look like they could, and maybe they don't.
Maybe they do, though.
Yeah, but maybe.
Yeah.
Anyway, I hope all the Gundam fans out there have enjoyed Gundam Talk.
Because we know what we're talking about, just like you.
Correct.
That's our slogan for this segment.
Gundam Talk.
We know what we're talking about, just like you.
I feel we could expand this into a franchise about almost any topic.
Yeah.
Mason, we're going to first look at Godzilla Kings of Monsters,
or King of Monsters, whatever it's called.
When do you think we're going to get Mechagodzilla?
How far are we away from that?
I don't think we'd get it in this iteration of Godzilla.
In this ever?
So you don't think six movies down,
they're like,
okay, we've had him fight the rock.
Who's been enlarged to giant size.
He went to space.
That was good.
But the idea of a several hundred foot tall
robot dragon dinosaur,
why?
Why would that be a thing?
Why would any of this be a thing?
I know.
It wouldn't.
Right.
Why wouldn't they just build a big missile?
Because it doesn't work. You need to pin it down and like tear its head off or something i don't know
all right there is a japanese godzilla movie yes where real godzilla fights the godzilla 98 and
just swats him in like one like into the sydney opera house i think so yeah from memory yeah
great here's a movie that won't be set in the Sydney Opera House you know what
if somebody could
that was such a good segue
you just stepped on it
yeah I know
that's what I do
if somebody could email in
because I had a thought
and I had to express it
that's how podcasts work
what would the podcasting
industry be
without idiots
who suddenly have a thought
and must express it
because they think
it's pure gold
there'd probably be less stuff
but it would be better
correct
but we don't want
that's a world
I wouldn't want to live in.
Absolutely not.
What I'm saying is,
if anybody has a thought about how they could integrate
Mechagodzilla into this universe,
I would like to hear it.
Okay, fair enough.
Just tweet at us.
Build a big one.
No.
What do you mean, no?
That's it.
That's all there is.
Anyway, here's a movie that's not going to be set
in the Sydney Opera House, Mason.
Perfect segue, probably.
The Joker origin movie.
But it's too far away from the previous... And it doesn't work. Yeah, of course. It's not going to be set in the Sydney Opera House, Mason. Perfect segue, probably. The Joker origin movie. But it's too far away from the previous...
And it doesn't work.
Yeah, of course.
It's terrible.
The Joker origin movie.
Okay, so this is happening.
Okay, what are the odds that the end of this movie is...
Flashpoint-y?
No, the end of this movie is Joaquin Phoenix's Joker.
They build a Mecha Joker.
But why would they build it?
I'm you. I'm you. I'm skeptical. I'm making great points. It's me. It build a Mecha Joker. But why would they build it? I'm you.
I'm you.
I'm skeptical.
I'm making great points.
It's me.
It's me, Maso.
I'm making very valid points
about fantastical elements
of an otherwise
fairly grounded movie.
I'm Maso.
That's very good.
Thank you.
It's a good impression of me.
That's a fantastic impression
of you doing an impression of me
no I'm saying
how about this movie
ends with him
killing
Thomas
and Martha Wayne
and again
that ties it into
my favourite theory
that the Batman 89 universe
is
but this is a different universe
than the Batman 89
don't care
we tie them all together
tie them all in
okay
how about this
Joaquin Phoenix
original Joker
yep
Jared Leto second Joker yeah it The Dark Knight? And it is Joaquin Phoenix, original Joker. Yep.
Jared Leto, second Joker.
Yeah, it's very... Anyway, I think it will be...
A movie?
Yeah.
Nice.
I mean, they might cancel it.
And it won't be a movie.
I'm not going that far, but it seems like it's going to happen.
I love the fact that at this point we won't even commit to...
It'll be a movie.
Notwithstanding the quality, we're not touching that with a 10-foot pole. No. But will it be a movie notwithstanding the quality we won't we're not touching that
with a 10 foot pole
but will it be a movie?
maybe
I guess
here we go Mason
you know me and you
we have a motto
we ride together
we die together
absolutely yeah
bad boys for life
we know that right
we've got those tattoos
speaking about bad boys for life
that's what I'm saying
yeah
it is happening
Will Smith and Martin Lawrence
are back on board
are they too old for this are they both too old for this now because one of them was That's what I'm saying. It is happening. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are back on board.
Are they too old for this?
Are they both too old for this now?
Because one of them was.
Maybe was one of them too old for it in the last one?
That's a good question. Anyway, I fucking hate these movies.
No, I've only seen the second one and I think it's terrible.
Yeah, I hate it.
I just remember hating it.
Because we saw it together.
Yeah, that's true.
Because we ride together, we die together.
Bad Boys for Life.
We watch every bad boys
movie together except for the first one okay mason this is another bit of news game of thrones
spin-off it's been it's been confirmed as what what the story is you ready yeah i'm ready story
was i don't know do you want to tell me what the story i absolutely have no idea what the story was
and i won't pretend to care wow brutal do you want me to skip this one? No, go ahead.
I would like to know.
It's set thousands of years in the past.
Ooh.
And the series chronicles the world's descent from the golden age of heroes into its darkest hour.
And the one thing is for sure, from the horrifying secrets of Westeros history to the true origin of the White Walkers.
It's going to be warm.
It's going to be snow.
Oh.
Because I think they're going to hit the long night.
The big old winter, they call it.
I was hoping for Game of Thrones goes tropical.
Maybe it'll start tropical.
Yeah, I hope so.
But like 5,000 or 10,000 years in the past, I can't remember, there was a big old winter
and then it's like fucking spiders right everywhere.
Like big old spiders.
How big?
Big as hounds, they say.
Ooh.
Yeah.
So what do you think of that?
That's pretty good.
Yeah.
Okay. Yeah. Big as the hound? Bigger, maybe, they say. Yeah, so what do you think of that? That's pretty good. Yeah, okay.
Big as the hound?
Bigger, maybe.
Wow.
He's pretty big, too.
He's a big man.
He'd be a good Lobo.
He would be a good Lobo.
Yeah.
He's a good actor.
He could definitely do it.
See, I was kind of hoping, like, the Game of Thrones theme,
but on a steel drum.
You know?
Okay. Yeah, so everybody's in a hamm drum. You know? Yeah. Okay.
Yeah.
So everybody's in a hammock.
God, I hope.
Drinking a tropical drink out of a pineapple.
That sounds great.
Right.
What do we got here?
There was a new Game of Thrones trailer.
They didn't really show anything, but they did say it was some statues moving towards
each other.
Incredible.
Fire and ice coming together.
You didn't watch it.
I didn't watch it. But you didn't have to You didn't watch it. I didn't watch it.
But you didn't have to.
And you didn't.
I didn't.
And they said the release date is April.
So get ready.
Gear up, Mason, for that show you have to watch.
Is this the final season?
Tell me again.
Is it?
Yes, but then there's a prequel.
So then we're going to all jump on board with that.
I had a question.
Okay.
I saw a bus shelter.
Yeah, I know.
End of the story.
Pretty good, Mason.
What do you reckon about that?
For a tram driver, that's pretty controversial.
I know, right?
But I get out. But there was an. Pretty good, Mason. What do you reckon about that? For a tram driver, that's pretty controversial. I know, right? But I get out.
But there was an ad for a George R.R. Martin book that is out now.
Yeah.
And it's a history of the dragons of Westeros or something like that.
It's like a lore book or some shit, yeah.
So is that...
I mean, look, I stopped reading those books, so I don't care if it ever comes out.
But I know a lot of people, a lot of people care deeply about that book.
They'd be steaming mad then.
Of course they would.
He's just releasing whatever. He's going to release
a Game of Thrones cookbook after this, I reckon.
It would not surprise me. A lot of those books are
talking about various foods and
such. A sweet bread?
There might even be a Game of Thrones
cookbook. I bet there is. There'd at least be an unofficial
one. Yeah, right.
Cookbook.
Did you say cookbook like me? I said, yeah,
I will now. Yeah, it's called A Feast of Ice and Fire.
Great.
Is it official?
Official.
The official Game of Thrones companion.
Do you think all the actors get in there and they're like...
That one-handed dude is giving it a go with one hand?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, bloody, you know, Jon Snow cones.
Oh, that's good, Mason.
Yeah, pretty good, right?
And it's shaved ice in a little cup,
but then it's got like maybe some raspberry through it, so it's all bloody, like blood in the snow. that's good, Mason. Yeah, it's pretty good, right? And it's shaved ice in a little cup, but then it's got like maybe some raspberry through it,
so it's all bloody.
I like that, Mason.
Very good.
Can you do another one?
Daenerys teriyaki sticks.
It's got blood through it as well.
Lots of blood on it.
Yep.
Uh-huh.
Yep.
Do you do anything with Ned Stark?
Ned. Bread Stark.
Bread Stark.
Okay, there we go.
Just for some starters. Yeah, that's right. Got blood through it? Ned. Bread Stark. Bread Stark. There we go. Just for some starters.
Yeah, that's right.
Got blood through it.
Yep.
Bread starters.
Yep.
Got some blood on it.
Look, conceivably we could do this all night, but we shall not.
Yeah, so Andrew, I'm glad it's coming back.
April, not too far away.
Uh-huh.
Especially if you're listening to this in April.
So close.
Yeah, that's really exciting for you.
Wow, just, yeah.
Yeah.
We're capturing that magic.
Oh, man.
It's so exciting that we got our first look at the Robin Hood trailer, Origin.
There's no...
Oh, hello.
Oh!
Hi, everybody.
Claire's here.
It's my first day of ship.
I'm doing a pilot.
Wow, we are not...
Claire, we've already had our celebration of Bovril
We drank this Bovril
Do you see me like you and me?
Well no
It's 50-50
That's why it smells like weed
Also James can you clear that song? I don't think you can legally
No I probably can't
Hopefully it's low enough
No it's fine
If we evaluate it in terms of review
We're allowed to use about that amount of time That song sucks Hopefully it's low enough. No, it's fine. If we evaluate it in terms of review,
we're allowed to use about that amount of time.
That song sucks.
No, that's all right. Controversial.
Differences of opinion are important.
For those who couldn't hear, it was Celebrate Good Time,
and Claire's got us three balloons.
Superman.
Superman, Batman, and one says Happy Podcast Awards Somehow.
We don't know how you got that one.
Wow.
There's some grass, and there's the weakly-tinted colours inside.
Oh, there is too.
Thanks, Claire.
I bought one for Party Boy Mason.
Wow.
One for James Clements.
I don't have a name.
One for Party Boy Nick Mason.
And one for the host of the podcast, James.
One for Sad Dad.
Who wants the Superman one and who wants the Batman?
I'll take the Superman.
I'll take the Batman then.
I mean, it's New 52 Superman, but I'll take it. one. Who wants the Batman? I'll take the Superman. I'll take the Superman one, obviously. I'll take Batman then. Wow. I mean, it's new 52 Superman, but I'll take it.
All right.
Yeah.
Okay.
That was going to go better in my game.
That went perfectly.
I loved it.
Claire, it's hard to top Bovril, but you've done it somehow.
Why are you drinking stinky meat?
People made us do it.
I'm going to understand either of you.
Yeah.
You've gone well out of your way, Claire.
I really have.
It looks like you've planned for a child's birthday.
Where did you hide those Claire?
I hid them in the garage
Because I went through every room in this house when I got here
And I couldn't find them
He does his balloon hunt every week
Thanks Claire
Thank you Greg
Congratulations on the award guys
And thank you for going so we didn't have to
For a second
That knock was very threatening
That's what I thought
I'm like is this the cops?
Is this like an angry neighbour?
If you want to knock and surprise somebody
The knock is
It's not
Open up there's a warrant
I thought something bad was going to happen
Yeah right
And I'm like but how do they get
How do they get through the front door to here?
Good question
Anyway
Anyway Robin Hood
Look shit
But we'll see it Ah Mason I'm excited because front door to hear. Good question. Anyway. Yeah. Anyway, Robin Hood, look shit.
Yeah.
But we'll see it.
Ah, Mason, I'm excited because we didn't have any Star Wars news last week.
Great.
But now we get to have Star Wars news every week for the rest of time.
Oh.
I gave you that one week off.
You did give me the one week off.
It's fair.
So that's fine.
All right. I'm fine.
Rules are rules.
Rules are rules.
We've got a potential synopsis for the Obi-Wan film.
Take this one.
Based on who?
Who's? Exactly. You're right. As I said, potential synopsis for the Obi-Wan film. Take this one. Based on who?
Exactly.
You're right.
As I said, though, Mason, take this with a grain of sand.
Ooh.
I've done a thing there.
Oh, Tatooine.
Yes.
Okay.
Fun beach times.
Obi-Wan is on Tatooine being an elusive hermit and stuff. Well, this is...
I didn't read this before, but this is great.
But secretly watches over an infant Luke Skywalker
whom he delivered
to his uncle
well they used whom
to his uncle Owen
back to professionalism
I love it
tensions between
the local farmers
and a tribe of sand people
headed by a ruthless
war chief
eventually brings
everyone out of hiding
and into Jedi
kick-ass mode
and then it just says
then there's a full stop
then it says scene
it's not a scene It's not a scene.
It's not a scene.
Who wrote this?
This is not a Hollywood insider.
I think the fact that it started with and stuff.
Yeah, I don't think this is accurate.
And also, look, and maybe we're wrong.
We've been wrong many times.
I don't see how this could be good.
He could kill a hundred sand people.
Yeah.
Did you remember when Anakin Skywalker...
Maybe he does.
Anakin Skywalker did it.
Remember when they showed up in
bloody
in the first Star Wars
he made a noise and they ran off
ran away
this isn't
because that's the noise of a man who's killed
several hundred sand people
no it's a crate dragon mason
in the original it's like
when they redid it it goes
oh
like they changed it
for this special edition
oh my goodness
do you want to hear it?
I can play it
okay here we go
that's the original
it's like a siren
and a man screaming
this is the new one
it's for the blu-ray
that's so good oh we missed a bit it still goes it's like a one. It's for the Blu-ray.
That's so good. Oh, we missed a bit. It still goes.
Oh my goodness. It's like a haaa at the end of it. Wow. Anyway, that's my new ringtone.
He's the man of a thousand voices, that guy. Boy, is he.
Just like our good friend Matt Stewart.
That's right. Well, he's the man of a thousand sounds.
That's true, he is, yeah.
Now, Mason, you had a bloody cracking week last week
because there was no Star Wars news.
But I'm happy to report.
Oh, no.
It's back again this week.
Star Wars.
There actually was Star Wars news, but because we recorded so early.
We didn't get a chance to put in Star Wars news.
Yeah.
It felt like a vacation.
It did, didn't it?
For you.
I was sad.
So they announced the cast that's returning.
It's a lot of familiar faces.
You've got your Adam Driver and your Daisy Ridley's and your John Boyega's and whatever.
Mark Hamill's coming back as well,
which is...
Which means Luke Skywalker's
coming back from the dead.
Or they could be doing flashbacks
because people are like,
why didn't Luke do a flip?
Or whatever.
So maybe they'll do a flip.
They'll do a flip in the past.
Yeah.
Do you want to see him do a flip?
Yes.
There'll be a flash.
Kylo Ren will remember his time in the Jedi Temple,
in the training grounds.
Be like, now, Kylo, watch me do a flip.
Now you do a flip.
Your flip wasn't as good, Kylo.
I swear revenge!
Yeah, that would be great.
All right, listen. I know last week was the end of star
wars news i didn't want star wars news finally this is great no more star wars no no no we're
just reiterating there's no more star wars news for a long time no problem you're welcome everybody
no oh what oh what so basically there's star wars news this week oh but you just said and then i
promised all the listeners there wouldn't be anymore.
Now, Mason, I know that I said no more Star Wars news.
I've been saying that.
I'm starting to think that when you say no more Star Wars news,
it's just a flimsy pretense for you to provide more Star Wars news.
But luckily, you've said no more Star Wars news this week.
And me, a man who is thoroughly sick of Star Wars news,
feels a certain amount of relief that you're not going to give us any Star Wars news.
Listen.
Continue.
Oh, look.
Sorry to do this to you.
I know you said there's...
I know I said that there wasn't going to be any more Star Wars news.
Oh, what a relief.
What a relief because it's Comic-Con time.
It's time for comic and movie... No, you've misread the situation again be any more Star Wars news. Oh, what a relief. What a relief because it's Comic-Con time. It's time for comic and movie best news.
I love talking about comic book movie news.
The dog's loving it too.
Dog's fired up about no.
I've got some backup.
Oh, wait, boy, you're warning me about something?
Is that why you're barking?
She's a girl, Mason.
Hey, girl, are you warning me about something?
Because I thought there was no Star Wars news,
but you're barking up a storm.
What's going on?
Okay, so this is good news for fans of this series,
the Star Wars series.
Oh, no.
There was Star Wars news trapped down the well.
That's why you were warning me, dog.
Okay, let's just say that this is Star Trek news.
Okay, great.
In more Star Trek news, George Lucas has opened up
about his Episode 7, the version that he would have made.
So George Lucas, creator of Star Wars, is also heavily invested in Star Trek.
Yeah, Episode 7.
Episode 7 of Star Trek.
Even though there is a Star Trek 7.
Anyway, his version of Star Trek Episode 7.
Just to clarify, it's Star Wars, everybody.
There's confusion.
His version of The Force Awakens.
Man, I'm really looking forward to hearing this information
about Star Trek Episode 7.
I hope James gets to it in a moment.
But he's speaking very quietly.
I hope he moves up to a normal volume that I can hear
and then I can hear about Star Trek Episode 7.
Carry on, James.
Now, the good thing about being Star Trek news
is we've dodged the Star Trek.
There's no Star Wars news this week.
Thank the Lord.
There is.
I tricked you.
Oh,
come on.
I barely had time to do my weird spiel where I pretend like I'm so happy.
There's no Star Wars news.
I know.
So I do a big song and dance about how there's no Star Wars news.
And I'm so happy about it.
And then you spring it on me.
You've still got this song and dance.
Don't you?
I do.
Yeah.
If anything, it's a fresher, newer song and dance that I'm enjoying even more.
All right.
What's next, Mason?
Now, you know how every week we have Star Wars News without fail.
Yeah, but.
But.
No, no.
This is.
I'm just saying.
Now we've got it again.
Oh, come on, mate.
Come on, mate.
I'm sick of Star Wars News. I'm sick of it news i'm sick of it well you can't rovable star
wars doesn't sleep we know that right should sleep should be put to sleep that's fine i enjoy them
when they come yeah that's it now i know you didn't want two bits of star or you did want
two bits of star wars no i wanted zero bits of star wars news i'm sick of it i got one more bit
of star wars news up to me bloody back teeth
I'm swimming in bloody Star Wars news
Next week we'll have no Star Wars news
No matter what's announced
There'll be no Star Wars news
They could release a Star Wars film secretly during the year
During the week sorry
And we won't talk about it
Your word is your bond
I've got one more bit of news
The actor who plays the tall man in the tall dog suit
in a popular sci-fi film, he's coming back for reshoots.
Reshoots because apparently he shot a bunch of scenes
for the new sci-fi film when he was making the prequel
sci-fi film set in the same series.
I love this lack of detail.
I love it.
Can you provide me with
any more detail though that's popular you know what i mean people like it it's that we had one
earlier this year that financially uh did not do well probably even lost money and then recently
like just before that they had another one which did well but it was very divisive to fans really
interesting they can be yeah they can be i mean people people have soured on them a little bit
can you provide me with more information,
bearing in mind if I don't like the information,
I'll get really angry.
I don't want to risk that.
But, okay, let's say there's Imagine Space.
Yep.
And Imagine Wizards.
Ooh, I like that.
Imagine those two things combining,
except the wizards don't have swords.
They cut people in half with lasers.
Wow, that's cool.
That's pretty cool.
They can do flips.
Some of them can't.
Can't do a flip.
Yeah, some of them are puppets.
Some of them are Alec Guinness.
There's a spectrum.
You know what I mean?
Sounds like there is.
They run the gamut, don't they?
They do.
I mean, I love the sound of this universe.
Yeah, yeah.
It sounds like something you could be into if you weren't such a big bitch.
And as you know, I'm working
on a bigger project at the moment. Your magnum
opus. It's just
so Star Wars heavy.
It's the most Star Wars thing anybody's ever made.
It's you screaming the titles of every Star Wars
property. Into a mirror.
Here's all the books. Here we
go. End of the Empire. Dark Force Rising. The a mirror. Here's all the books! Here we go! End of the Empire!
Dark Force Rising!
The Last Command!
And...
That would be good, right?
Could you do that at the end?
I love that. I know that's not actually what it is.
They might be. Did you remember those?
Yeah, that's what they're called. That's really impressive.
This is why I love Star Wars, News Mason. It brings out the best in you yeah it really does so iga man what if it was just that that is what it was just you you you you big it up for months
about how it's your most it's your most expansive research project ever it's just gonna blow
everybody else's star wars essays out of the water.
And then it's just you in this room against a blank wall just screaming titles.
And maybe it comes up with like Comic Sans under you.
Every title.
As you scream them out.
I'd watch that.
That'd be a long video.
I'd need a teleprompter.
Because I wouldn't want to cut.
I just want to do it.
No, you look down at your laptop.
Okay.
So no effort.
Yeah.
And somebody would complain.
Well, I mean, everybody would complain, obviously.
That's why I filmed it in portrait.
Yeah.
Oh, you record it on your iPhone.
Yeah.
And occasionally you set the iPhone down on the desk
so you can move your laptop or whatever, scroll down.
And so sometimes it's just a picture of the roof.
Okay.
Anyway.
I just, yeah, anyway, I think I've...
In summary, Mason, is Star Wars...
Is it?
I'm exhausted right now, I'll be honest with you.
Yeah, me too. but i've been awake
a long time so i don't know yeah so less star wars or more oh we're making a binding decision
right yes less star wars all right i'm saying more why not yeah okay great good good good

This guy is so hard to read.
I can't.
Is he enjoying it?
Is he not?
I mean, he's like nodding and he's like, hmm.
You know what he might.
You know when people don't laugh out loud, but they're still enjoying it, right?
Yeah, it seems that way.
Maybe I've got something really sweet in the deal.
What about?
I'll get some Harry's razors.
What do you reckon?
Well, Mason, it's the new year.
You know that.
Yeah.
Better than anyone.
Maybe not anyone.
Better than some.
Yeah.
Better than like a baby.
Who has no concept of time.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Yeah.
Because Harry's, Mason, they can save you about $100 a year if you're a regular shaver.
So you want to be smart with your personal finances in the new year, don't you?
I mean, assuming the universe isn't destroyed, but all right.
Let's think positive and assume it's going to smile.
Let's do it.
He looks like he's loving it currently.
I feel so, that way.
Also to you.
Mason, Harry's is a great razor because it cuts really well.
The fair on your face.
It's a smooth.
It shaves really well.
Yeah, but it is cutting.
It's cutting hair.
That's true.
Yeah, that's how shavers work, right?
Mm-hmm.
You should say shave, shouldn't I?
It shaves really well.
Yes.
Smooth.
The blades also last for a really long time.
Longer than you'd think.
Ages.
Ages, yeah.
A long time.
Not kidding.
I've had mine for ages.
Also got a special offer to start the new year off, right?
You can actually claim that by going to harrys.com slash weeklyplanet.
Say it a little louder so we can hear you.
I'll say it at the end of the ad copy.
Okay, great, great.
But Harry's, though, as we know, they were founded by a couple of dudes who were tired of paying for razors that were overpriced and overdesigned.
They knew that a great shave doesn't come from gimmicks like vibrating heads, flex balls.
What is that?
Or handles that look like spaceships.
Tactics that the leading brands have been using to raise prices for years.
They actually bought a world-class blade factory in Germany that's been making quality blades for over 95,000 years.
Wow. Just 95,000 years.
Wow. Just 95, sorry.
Still wow, though.
Because it says kind of make it loose and kind of make it your own.
I think I took it too far there, though.
It's just 95 years.
I mean, this is a high-pressure situation.
It certainly is.
Yeah, and the replacement cartridges for Harry's, they're just $2 each,
which is cartridge as well, which is you get a few in there.
Get a $13 value trial set that comes with everything you need
for a close, comfortable shave.
That's a weighted ergonomic handle.
Great handles, by the way.
I enjoy them a lot.
Five-blade razor with lubricating strip and trimmer blade.
Rich lathering shave gel.
Travel blade cover.
Listeners of the show can redeem that by going to harrys.com
slash weeklyplanet.
Make sure you go to harrys.com slash weeklyplanet to you go to harrys.com slash weekly planet to redeem
your offer and to let them know that i sent you to help support my show hey man we we sent you
all right just when you redeem the actually he just looks mad now he doesn't have any hair on
his face he's more a glowing ball of energy than a man maybe he doesn't have hair on his face

Don't worry about it.
Yeah.
Some would say we lost some gold, but other people would say you've never had any gold.
Yeah, so let's just keep doing this podcast.
But if you never stop, you'll never learn to begin again.
That's good, Mason.

Yeah.
Just at length until we get to the end.
And then when they do come out, we talk about them again.
And then at the end of the year, we recap the whole thing.
Great.
So this is the first step in this process.

Thank you.
And you can keep that.
Oh, no. You know what?
We'll auction it off for charity.
Okay, good.
It's the worst thing I've ever said on this podcast.
Yeah, I'd like to be-
Somebody's-
There's a charity auction, and people are giving up, like, signed guitars.
And, like, trips to movie sets that you can be an extra in a film.
And I'm like, here's this bucket of pee blood.
It's a pink bucket from my friend's house.
It had a mop in it, but now it's got blood in it.
Anyway, we're back.
Yeah.
Anyway, we might speed through this a bit.
No.
Just so you're not.
More digressions.
That's what I say.
October is Venom.
Nice.
Good, good, good.
We must be getting something for that very soon
Any thoughts on Venom?
Fired up
Kind of excited
Fired up, he's fired up everybody
Tom Holland's in it
Tom Hardy's in it
The Toms
The Toms, a couple of Toms
Was that like a race caller?
Like a horse race caller?
I don't know, what do you want?
What do you want it to be?
I don't know
Probably that
Then it's not Next time we've got What do you want it to be? I don't know. Probably that.
Then it's not.
Next time we've got... What else would you like to see Tom Holland and Tom Hardy in teaming up?
I say a remake of that movie Legend with their twin brother criminals.
Except one of them's Tom Hardy and one of them's Tom Holland.
So one's real gruff and one's, hello, it's me, Tom Holland.
Exactly.
How much crime are we doing today?
Mother said we're going to do some crime.
You're better at that than me.
You've got a nice pub here.
Shame if something happened to it.
And then he taps his little arm.
Taps his little arm on the bar.
Nothing happens.
He can do a flip.
He can probably do a flip.
Yeah.
What else we got?
Mason, it's time to talk about Clovefield Paradox.
Hooray. The Clovefield Par paradox uh i think it starts okay yes i think oh this is an interesting setup the world's gone to shit it's 2028 or whatever it's supposed to be okay mason sorry i forgot what do you think
the story was oh no it's too late though you've mostly done it uh the same thing they're gonna
go into space they they have to turn on a like a super collider in space and if it works yeah they get the superpowers of the earth are turning against each other because
there's lack of fossil fuels and whatnot and everyone's on the verge of invading everyone
else but then they turn on the thing and wacky stuff happens well they turn it on then nothing
happens yeah and they're all like good on you daniel brule you fuckwit get your fucking god
particle in check you dumb prick yeah go back to germany
or belgium or wherever you're from get out of your belgian bastard and they eventually get it
working yep and then weird stuff happens the earth disappears weird inexplicable stuff bloody
what else happens man filled with worms yes okay let's. Okay, I want to talk about this guy because why does he cop it twice?
See, what I thought happened with him and what I thought would have been an interesting-ish idea
because there's a moment where he's-
He's not near the worms.
He's not near the worms.
Well, the worms came-
From the worm farm.
I'm assuming they're the worms from the other dimension that got stuck in him and their worms jumped to the other dimension.
Like they're stuck in the wall.
The only explanation I can think of is that the parallel...
He had so many worms in him.
The parallel universe version of him got so bored one day
that he's like,
$100, I will eat anything on the station.
I bet you $100. And they're like, oh yeah, worm farm. And he's like, a hundred bucks, I will eat anything on the station. I bet you a hundred bucks.
And they're like,
oh yeah,
worm farm.
And he's like,
done.
Num,
num,
num,
num,
num,
num,
And he's just stuffing them into his eyeballs.
And then he's like,
what's next?
And they're like,
you'll never eat the gyroscope that controls the collider.
And he's like,
we'll see about that.
Num,
num,
num,
num,
num,
num,
num.
I mean,
all of the worms went inside him.
It wasn't even some of the
worms weren't in him yeah every worm every worm was in him yeah and his eyes went crooked i don't
know was that the worms probably full of worms probably full of worms yeah uh mason uh so what
do you have a theory about how this universe links together but i like the idea that potentially at
the end of cloverfield that
monster has destroyed the whole world right yeah like that it's just and like the the video is
being watched by one dude in a bunker and he's the only person left on earth yeah right and
everybody else is dead like that and then a big bird gets him and a big bird gets him a big bird
with words yeah exactly And it's like,
mmm, breakfast.
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum.
Because every movie
has a different alien or monster.
Yeah, right, yeah.
And this one's just a big bird.
It's not even a monster,
it's just a big pigeon.
It's just a bird.
And it talks.
It's a big sea couple.
With one leg.
It's got one leg.
Yeah.
Anyway, it's the worst movie ever
It's easily the worst one
Black Panther
Yeah
So
What do we got here
What do you think the story was though
Come on mate
I'm just saying
I'm asking
I'm curious
Alright hang on
Okay
So
We also got Andy Serkis
As Claw
And he's just great
He's so great
I know
Yeah Look I know he is and he is a cackling
lunatic he's a lunatic and he is a murderous arms dealer who leaves death in his wake everywhere he
goes but he is so charming and it's very fun he's having a great time he's just he's just a go with
the flow kind of guy who's just rolling with it like you lose an arm you get another arm you're being
chased by the heroes just put some music on make it have a bit of a boogie you get captured just
have some banter with the whatever like i i had this thought today yeah and i know it's wrong but
i feel this is a safe space and i'm going to share it with you okay so the marvel cast in all the all
the marvel hero cast they they're sort of quite well known for their charitable doings
and you see them go to schools and whatever.
There's a very memorable video, which I think you've seen,
which is...
Oh, the arm.
Yeah, there's a kid and there's a little boy.
He's in hospital.
I think he's lost his arm in an accident.
I think he might have been born without.
Okay.
But Robert Downey Jr. goes to the hospital in character as tony stark and he brings like a
stark industries flight flight case and he opens it up and there's like a like a red and gold iron
man themed prosthetic arm and he gives it to the kid and the kid the kid puts it on and like he's
trying to work the thing and robert downey jr, hey, listen, when I was inventing stuff,
I failed a lot of times,
but what I learned is you just got to keep trying
and like work hard and you got to promise me
that you're going to keep trying
and you're never going to give up kind of thing
and it's really kind of moving and it's kind of nice.
And I had the thought,
I hope there's a real surge of Andy Serkis
being brought in to do this, like a lot of requests.
In character. In character.
In character.
So he goes to the hospital and they apply his neck tattoos.
As arms dealer.
Yeah, they apply his neck tattoos and they spray him
with like a sheen of like sweat and grime.
And he puts his arm like in his safari shirt so you can't see it.
And he goes in and he's like, hello, little girl.
It's me, your hero, Ulysses Klor. And she's like, yay, it's me your hero ulysses claw and she's like yay it's claw and then he
like like a couple of his boys come in with like a like a rusty like like a like a rusty like
container from a freighter yeah it's just in an old oil drum and they just creak it open and it's
like a weird rubbery monster hand it's just like hooray how good would that be now little
girl you must promise me if anyone ever says that you can't do anything you put your mind to you
kill them you kill them immediately without remorse how good would that be incredible right
it won't happen no sure be very offensive yeah but he's very good in this movie i guess is the
point yes i'm i guess my only complaint is I could have seen a lot more of him.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know what else that was really good?
That's a movie, you're an A villain and a B villain.
That's true.
Here we go, Mason.
Got exciting things to talk about with Tomb Raider 2018.
Let's talk about Tomb Raider.
The third Tomb Raider.
Do you want to do spoilers?
Yeah, let's do spoilers.
Okay, cool.
Also, I wanted to do spoilers because you didn't ask me what the story was and now it's too late oh no it's too late james it's too late you can't
do it in spoilers this is unprecedented though yeah but he got you mate uh yeah no this can't
believe i missed that i know people were yelling at me this entire time that's right
oh no i normally write it in as well so i don't forget that's right you're gonna have to write
it big and bold and underlined next time. Absolutely.
I know you could talk this all day, obviously.
Yeah.
But I'm going to talk about Pacific Rim Uprising.
Okay, let's talk about it.
The sequel to 2013's Pacific Rim.
There's not the buzz there was in the first one, obviously.
Would you say there's a lot of pandering to China in this movie?
Yes, I would.
Absolutely.
I'll explain it.
Yeah, definitely.
Yeah, you're right.
There's not as much buzz yeah
this one but do you think though because of that we should neglect you telling us what the story
was oh no bloody hell all right i'm back oh he's done it i felt that was a lot of pressure on me
i know right because i thought i was gonna yeah last week failed big time i thought it was all
over for you asking what the story was generally.
All right, hang on.
Here we go.
Okay.
So it's 10 years after the original Pacific Rim.
Time jump.
But it's only been five in real life.
Yeah.
Wow.
Wow.
Really make you think.
Nah.
No.
Anyway, but anyway, they've rebuilt basically everything and everything's cool.
Sydney looks great.
Yeah, it did, didn't it?
And so did local newscaster. What's his face peter roberton i wrote that down yeah that was
a nice surprise yeah sorry i could have got lee lynn chin they could have yeah sbs's own lee lynn
chin agreed they could have got peter hitchiner they could have got aggro that sexually aggressive
puppet yes i don't know if he's a good fit they could have got david tench of david tench tonight famous animated interviewer
that's the future though isn't it so that would have made perfect sense
do you want to explain that no people can google david tench tonight just imagine the majesty of
him being in the film pacific rimprising. Anyway, then what happens then?
Then there's trouble brewing.
There's trouble.
What a bloody thing to talk about now.
Ready Player One is a movie.
I don't really remember it that well.
But it's Spielberg's biggest opening since Munich.
No, since Indy 4.
Oh.
The BFG did not do well.
The one about Tom Hanks and his saving newspapers didn't do as well either Since Munich. No, since Indy 4. The BFG did not do well.
The one about Tom Hanks and his saving newspapers didn't do as well either. Because that was just about newspapers.
It wasn't about robots.
Exactly.
Nobody cares about newspapers.
Shut up, Tom Hanks, for once in your life, America's dad.
Print is dead.
Print is dead.
But dressing up as an avatar of J. Jonah Jameson, that's in.
That's very much in.
Demanding pictures of Spider-Man.
Yeah. You know what I think is very in, though? What's in. That's very much in. Demanding pictures of Spider-Man. Yeah.
You know what I think is very in though?
What's that?
It's when you tell us what you think the story was.
Ah, he's done it again.
All right, hang on.
Okay, so.
I'm a successful person.
It's very true.
Is that your morning mantra?
Correct.
Get out of bed.
Two hands raised.
I'm a successful person.
Okay, all right.
Here we go.
So it's the future.
Yep.
It's 20 Yep, 2045
2045
Yep
The world's rotten
It's real bad
Will Wheaton's the president
It seems so
Hasn't done anything to fix that
I saw a poster for him
He's definitely mentioned in it
Or referenced in it
So he is the president
How do you fix America, Will Wheaton?
Can you shit together, Will Wheaton?
Will Wheaton
This world's a bloody
It's a bloody bin fire, mate
What are you doing?
People are living in caravans stacked on top of each other
that you can only access by sliding up or down a pole.
Where's your bloody sustainable living options,
President Wil Wheaton?
I've decided I'm going to rag on Wil Wheaton this entire episode.
No problem.
Because this world's rotten.
How long has he been in for, though?
We don't know.
If he's well into an eight-year term.
Then he should have fixed some stuff.
Fixed some shit. But I think in the book he's been re-elected ah in a landslide will wait and so
he's had at least four years hasn't he will wait and yeah why people re-elect him why would you
re-elect him if he hasn't done anything four years if you're still living in slums before
why would what's his face what's his name w Wade something? Wade Watts. Why would Wade Watts vote again for Will Wheaton?
Because he's 17 and he didn't.
If he's still living in a shack.
He didn't vote for him.
Okay then.
Good.
Yeah.
What I'm saying is, you know why?
Because Will Wheaton's gotten involved in some sort of shady fake news disinformation campaign.
That's probably true.
You grub, Will Wheaton.
You absolute grub. Anyway, America's ruined. That's probably true. You grub, Wilwyn. You absolute grub.
Anyway, America's ruined.
Yeah.
All right, Rampage.
Yeah.
It's the movie that came into cinemas the world over,
smashing its way into your local cinema plex.
Smashing.
Yeah, so I guess they've done it, haven't they?
How disappointed were you that...
Just a lot.
Like, I wasn't a fan.
I meant about a specific thing.
Oh, okay.
But I get it.
We'll get to it later, actually.
I guess.
Yeah.
Why is the crocodile bigger than the gorilla?
Or the wolf?
Well, there's a lot of questions.
Why is the crocodile...
I mean, I guess it depends how big it was in the first place.
Why was the crocodile bigger than the gorilla and the wolf?
Why did the wolf get a whole bunch of cool additional weaponry?
Yeah, like hands and wings.
It got hands
it got wings
it got
quills
it got quills
that it could
shoot out at people
yeah
and the other two
didn't get anything
did it
I'm willing to look
you know
maybe they would
like different
genetic packages
yeah sure
you know
it'd be fun
if the wolf
had hands
and wings
and spines
wolf does not have hands, Mason.
We've established that on the show.
We've established it very much so, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, right.
And also, not only is it the gorilla that everybody saw smash up a city and fucking eat people.
Yeah.
It's that same gorilla at the start of the movie, the rock didn't even trust to get people who were specializing in that field to be like 10 feet away from him.
That's true.
And then Jeffrey Dean Morgan's just standing there
and it's the rock.
Just chuckling.
Just chuckling away.
And there's a fucking 80 foot tall gorilla
just standing there.
He's learned his lesson.
He's still a gorilla.
It's still a gorilla.
I feel that's a classic monster movie trope.
I want a t-shirt that says it's still a gorilla
and it's me yelling and pointing up at a gorilla.
Wow, that's dangerous.
Gorillas are dangerous, man.
I know.
Wow.
Buddy ripped your genitals off. That's what he'd do. dangerous, man. I know. Wow. Buddy ripped your genitals off.
That's what he'd do.
Mason, I've travelled.
You know that about me.
Uganda.
You go right up to them in the jungle.
They're terrifying.
They could snap and just pull your head off.
Yeah.
I saw a trailer for One-Legged Die Hard beforehand.
Me too.
I thought that was going to be the shit one.
That looks way better.
Have we reached peak The Rock
where before every movie starring The Rock
we're going to get a trailer
for the next movie starring The Rock?
Yeah, because it's got like
two or three movies a year,
so potentially, yeah.
Delicious.
Yeah.
All right.
Avengers Infinity War
has blasted its way into cinemas
the world over.
You can never stop the Marvel juggernaut.
It's going east to west.
It's up and down.
Wherever you look, Mason, it'll find you.
Yeah.
Wow.
Is that where the sun goes?
East to west, yeah.
East to west.
Okay.
What does that mean?
It rises in the east, sets in the west.
My understanding is it goes up and then it goes straight back down again.
Oh, there's a bit of that, yeah.
Because it's like a basketball.
It's like a basketball.
That's true, yeah.
Good.
Yeah.
Good.
All right.
basketball it's like a basketball that's true yeah yeah good all right so it's um the sun got apollo yeah throws the sun yeah over the earth good good and then it comes back down and he
catches it at the end very good sometimes you think he's not gonna nail it but he nails it
every time he always caught it yeah what happens if he drops it does the sun break yeah and then
his mom's gonna yell at him so because his mom's not buying him another son no tell you what
expensive and big.
The amazing thing about this is it brings together like 10 years of storytelling
and the visions of multiple directors.
And you're bringing back actors from like 10 years prior.
And it just makes me go, what do you think the story was?
Ah, he's not going to kill me.
I thought you were going to miss it.
I thought you were going to skip it again.
Not this time, Mason.
All right, hang on. I got my Avengers Infinity War lanyard. Mine's in the car. I forgot it. going to miss it. I thought you were going to skip it again. Not this time, Mason. All right, hang on.
I got my Avengers Infinity War lanyard.
Mine's in the car.
I forgot it.
Ready to go.
You know what I don't like about this lanyard?
It's not laminated.
Okay, wow.
You're so picky.
Mason, if you're going to give me a laminated, make it a collector's item.
Horseshit.
Wow.
The lanyard doesn't reflect the film, unfortunately.
You can laminate it yourself.
Yeah.
If I had to pick a lanyard, top one lanyard, Justice League. Number two, this, because it's also got a
little, a little A on it, a little foam A. Number three, Ready Player One. Yeah, for
sure. Number four, the lanyards that people gave to us at our live show. Yeah. Which is
really good. You know what? That could be number one. That's a, that's a gift. Yeah.
Anyway, so. And they were laminated. And they were laminated. they were laminated yeah good anyway so oh it's a story else
alright okay so
okay a good place to start
I think is
Thanos' plan
in the universe
I would love to talk about that
and the flaws with that
said plan
go for it
the problem with that is
is he has the
infinity gauntlet
which can do anything
yes
and he chooses to kill everybody
where what he could do
is double the resources
of the universe
or double the size of the universe or change every person in the universe so they don't require any
sustenance to live what's that english meat drink a bovril he could get everyone a cup cup of bovril
every morning exactly you could wake up to a hot cup of bovril that gives you all the all the fat
and protein you need and a glass of hot water or milk, apparently. Mason, we've got to talk about Deadpool 2.
Yes.
Had a huge box office opening.
It is now the largest R-rated opening day for any film in the US of all time,
with 53 million beating out It.
But I suspect It Chapter 2 might beat this again.
Probably, yeah.
So it remains to be seen, but it's still a really good,
it's a massive opening.
And they rec...
Sorry, go on.
I was going to say,
does this mean Josh Brolin
is currently in the number one
and number two movies?
I guess he is.
Or at one point he would have been, yeah.
There he is.
Infinity War and Deadpool 2.
That's still, yeah.
Well, this movie did...
I wonder if that's a record also.
It did knock Infinity War
off the number one spot.
Oh, so he's in both.
He's in both.
That's wild.
There you go.
Anyway, Mason, all these numbers and box. Oh, so he's in both. He's in both. That's wild. There you go. Anyway, Mason.
Yes.
All these numbers and box office reports, they all pale in comparison to what you think
the story was.
Deadpool's back.
Look at his balls.
Mason, we have to talk about Solo or Star Wars Journey story.
Yes.
Whatever it's called.
Yeah.
I don't know.
It's interesting the way this is opening because there's a lot of positivity behind it.
I think because maybe it returns to kind of a lot of the Star Wars stuff that people are familiar with.
Correct.
I just think it's weird that you're going to tell us what the story was.
Do you want me to do it because it's your birthday?
No, no, I'll do it.
Here we go.
All right.
Han Solo's back, baby.
He's back.
He survived that lightsaber blade to the chest
and he's got a new look and a new attitude.
It shot him through time.
And now he's decided he's going to become a smuggler.
He's going to do it.
Before, who knows?
Diplomat or something.
But now he's going to get a new Wookiee co-pilot
and he's going to go on some adventures.
He doesn't care if that Wookiee's got a different name.
He's going to call him the same name as the other one.
That's right. He's going to get a new same name as the other one. That's right. He's going
to get a new love. Princess Laish is a
weird ghost torpedo flying through
space. He's not on board with that.
Let's do it. Now, this is actually a Han Solo
prequel. It is. This is set before Episode 4.
By like eight years. Something like that,
yeah. Which makes him about 27.
Nice. Good age. Though he seems he might be a bit younger.
Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I think
it's a good...
This is the baseline for, I think, a very good action movie.
What?
Yeah.
You've lost it, mate.
No, I think there's nothing...
You're riding high on birthday cake or something.
Maybe I am, yeah.
No, but look, you're not alone.
Maybe you're riding low on you can't eat any carbs or sugar.
That's probably true.
Is that still happening?
Still happening.
All right.
Three weeks left.
Jesus.
All right.
Okay.
So you must have hated the
bit where han solo got literally given his name right where he goes to sign up for the imperial
academy and the guy says what's your name and he goes i'm just by myself my name's han even though
he has a dad because he says it later in the film he's throwing the name away whatever and his dad doesn't have a name he must but then the guy
goes oh han solo you're trying to escape the planet first of all just say anything yeah just
say han flugelbergen it doesn't matter say anything exactly take a name from real life yeah that's
flugelbergen the guy who plays chewbacca that's right guess what i didn't hate it and i guess
anybody can just sign up for the Imperial Academy.
They just walk up and go, my name's John.
What do you want to be?
I'm not a pilot.
No worries.
Do you want to be John Flugenblagen?
Yeah.
All right, here's your ID card.
You can start flying next week.
Here's the thing.
They're not that great at administration.
No shit.
Yeah.
But also, they'll take anybody.
They just want as much cannon fodder as they can get.
No, I understand that.
But any rebellion lunatic could get in there and just crash a TIE fighter into the Emperor.
It doesn't make any sense to me that they wouldn't even slightly check.
Also, they knew a guy got loose in there.
That's true.
I mean, they grabbed some guy by mistake, though, didn't they?
Yeah, that's true.
I just thought that was absolute insanity that a guy with no last name showed up
and they just let him fly spaceships.
You could just say anything, apparently.
I thought you would hate that.
No, don't mind it.
Han Solo.
I'll just call you Han Solo.
Call him Han alone.
Call him Han by himself.
Call him Han no friends.
Yeah. it's ridiculous
han hasn't got a family so they could call him what about harvard got a family yeah for sure
yeah no i thought it was fine with it look i'm swept up in the magic all right that was the bit
you didn't even like in the movie which bit the start no i didn't like the start start where the
kids are like oh we're just oh i got an extra portion The start. No, I didn't like the start start where the kids are like,
oh, we're just,
oh, I got an extra potion because of blah, blah, blah.
I didn't mind that.
I hated that.
I like the weird
like sunburnt worm
or whatever.
Yeah.
Like just a weird creature
living in a pond
that you just got to work for.
I didn't mind the sunburnt worm.
I just didn't hate
the little orphan kids.
There's barely any of that.
No, no, but that's what I'm saying.
Okay, fair enough.
Mason,
I bloody love cliffhangers
or I don't. Which is it Mason, I bloody love cliffhangers.
Or I don't.
Which is it?
I don't know.
Uh-huh.
One of the things that we do here
at my show,
The Weekly Planet,
is we love
the Gamers On Award.
Yes, we do.
We talk about it
quite a lot.
It's where basically
a movie sets up
the premise for a sequel
that will never happen.
Mason, have you found one yet?
No, sorry.
I got distracted.
You're really killing it, Mason.
You mean in a good way, right?
Like, this guy's killing it.
Randall says Dark Angel.
How does that end?
I've watched a lot of Dark Angel.
You did watch a lot of Dark Angel.
Did you really?
Yeah.
Name one thing about that show.
Jessica Alba.
Clones with their blood made them strong
and they also had tattoos of barcodes on them because that was the most 2000s thing you could
get was a tattoo of a barcode i had a friend who had a tattoo of a barcode on his arm probably the
worst thing you could get do you think that if anyone actually scanned the barcode well that's
what he said at the time he's like do you do you reckon anyone would scan what would come up?
And I'm like, who cares?
You've made a terrible mistake.
You know what I want to get a tattoo of?
Yes.
I want to get on my shoulder blade or my chest where my heart is.
And it's a hand.
It's an open hand like this.
Yes.
And across it, there's a scroll or like a ribbon.
And on that ribbon, it says One Life.
Nice.
What do you think?
That's pretty incredible.
That sounds like I made up that tattoo
but i have another friend who has that tattoo my goodness all right how much how much money would
me by me i mean the listeners have to give you you have to get a you have to get a tattoo
it's a it's one of those ones with the heart and then the scroll across the heart. And then in the scroll, it says podcasting.
I don't think there's any amount of money that I would get that
because I make enough money where I'm not desperate for money.
I live an okay life.
It's neither good nor bad.
I think if I was in debt, I'd be like 50 grand.
Yeah, wow. Okay. Wow. But yeah. All right. good nor bad i think if i was in debt i'd be like 50 grand yeah wow okay wow but yeah all right well
look that one that one was just a obviously that's the joke one yes here's the one you'd
actually love right the same thing except it says youtube that's so much worse
oh dear no nothing ever.
Mason, have you found one?
Look, I've been talking, all right?
But you're looking at your phone.
Yeah, I know.
Are you looking at a different thing?
Are you shopping?
Look, I had to text somebody because it was their birthday.
I just remembered that.
So it's kind of, it's a real situation.
It is a situation.
Thank you.
All right, but now if anyone has any other ones, please let us know. And we will acknowledge that through a like on a situation. Thank you. But now, if anyone has any other ones, please let us know.
And we will acknowledge that through a like on a Twitter, won't we, Mason?
I don't like anything on Twitter.
Then we won't acknowledge it ever.
It's just a sub.
It's not even a...
I just never did it.
And now it's an OCD thing.
So I can't start doing it.
Why don't you just do one?
How about I do one?
One very special listener will get one like.
Very good.
Who's it going to be?
Do you think it could be me?
No.
Okay.
No.
Well, I'm not going to.
Okay.
You're going to say, yeah.
That sucks for me, obviously.
You could have at least said maybe, and then I could have lived it up.
Oh, that's true.
No, but it's better.
Rip the Band-Aid off, I say, you know?
You're a bad bloke.
No, you are.
All right.
You know what it's time for?
What's it time for? Now, I say, you know? You're a bad bloke. No, you are. All right, you know what it's time for? What's it time for?
Now, I'm sorry for our listeners in Europe.
We're going to be talking about Ant-Man and the Wasp.
It's not out for another month because of the bloody soccer or football.
Is that why?
Yeah, apparently.
Wild.
Because, you know, that's what happens.
When you have a big sporting event and you've got an opening movie,
they do not be friends.
Really?
Yeah.
I think that's one of the reasons behind Solo. One do not be friends. Really? Yeah. Do you...
I think that's one of the reasons behind Solo.
One of the many reasons.
Ah, okay.
Right, right, right.
Yeah, I guess that's probably true, yeah.
But I think this is kind of a good antithesis to Infinity War.
I agree.
But also, it's not a rush out and see it movie.
I'd imagine for a lot of people.
Well, because there's no...
It's not essential that you see this.
Like, it's not essential to Marvel's overall continuity.
You could potentially skip it.
There's definitely stuff that I think is going to affect Avengers 4.
Uh-huh.
But we can talk about that after you tell us what the story was.
Sorry, what you think the story was.
All right.
All right.
Look at my big grin.
Yeah.
It's a big grin, isn't it?
So smug.
Look at this guy.
He thinks he's better than everyone else
I do but he's worse than everyone else
yeah I'm afraid so
so this is set after the events of
Civil War the American Civil War
thank you
we find it
Gangnam Style I'll do good jokes to that
you do good jokes
yeah this is great
I think this was a good fun
small scale
ho ho ho
pun intended
story well told
okay
I don't disagree
and I don't think
it had to
I don't think
the whole world
had to be at stake
in this one
no
just enjoyed it
just
he had fun
with it everybody
he had fun with it
just like Justice League
that's where he wrote
no disagree
way better than Justice League
you know why
because there were
scenes set on a street
and it looked like a street.
That's my yardstick now.
It's weird that none of that movie looks like it's set anywhere.
Isn't it weird?
Got some reviews here from people who listen, Masons.
I'm ready.
Saw Ant-Man and the Wasp.
I really enjoyed it.
I thought it was better than Black Panther and Infinity War.
Danielle says Ant-Man and the Wasp was so disappointing.
Comedy was flat to the point of uncomfortable.
Villains were whack.
Worst movie ever.
Action sequences were cool, though.
And Drew says, Man, Mason's a big old bitch.
He sounds like a bloody sack of shit.
I hope he falls into a volcano and then nobody remembers him.
What a weird review.
That is a weird review, isn't it?
I mean...
He really says.
In addition to that, saw Ant-Man in a volcano?
I don't know.
Yeah.
What are the chances?
I mean, how would I even, like, why would I be...
I'd remember you.
There's no active volcanoes near us.
Yeah.
I'd have to go to one.
Yeah.
I'd have to take my time out and go, why would I?
You wouldn't.
Yeah.
Why did he say all that?
No.
Because if he...
Did he say all that?
Yeah.
Huh.
You'd have to Google it.
But he said it.
But he also says,
saw Ant-Man and the Wasp last night and I loved it.
Because if he didn't say it,
that would mean that you came up with all that horrible stuff to say about me.
That doesn't sound like something I would do.
I don't have that in me, Mason.
I'm a man of compassion and integrity.
Quite right.
I've got that tattoo that says podcasting in a halofa. That's true, yeah. And below that it says passionate integrity. Yeah, you Quite right. I've got that tattoo that says podcasting in a love heart.
That's true.
It says passionate integrity.
Yeah, you're right.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
It's magic.
You know.
Never believe it's not so.
Very good.
Thank you.
What's the occasion?
Nah, nothing.
Just that I'd sing again.
Great.
Just that I'd sing again. It. Just that I'd sing again.
It has been a while, hasn't it?
Yeah, that's right.
Now we're going to talk about Harry Potter.
Do you know a good Alan Rickman?
Was that your Alan Rickman?
That was my Alan.
Alan Rickman.
Alan Rickman.
Do you know a good one?
Hang on.
Alan Rickman.
Alan Rickman.
Not really, no.
Not bad. Thank you. I practice mine. Not really, no. Not bad.
Thank you.
I practice mine.
So that's why.
Wait, wait, wait.
Mr. Cowboy.
No.
What?
It's from Die Hard.
Oh, right.
Okay, right.
That really threw me.
There's a cowboy character in this movie?
If only.
Yeah.
If these movies have taught me anything Nobody cuts Harry any slack
And they really should
Some people do
He's rich
I was going to say he's rich
But for the most part
His parents were murdered
And they're all
He's famous
Because his parents were murdered
And he famously hasn't been in the wizard world
His whole life But nobody ever cuts him any slack In this one he's like I't been in the wizard world yes his whole life but nobody
ever cuts him any slack no this one he's like i'm leaving i'm never coming back and he sits on the
on the on the street and then the bus comes and picks him up and he's like what's this and they're
like it's the night bus harry you moron how could you not know it's the night but because he's he
lives in the real world he's never seen before. Why are you so mean to him?
You know?
Yeah.
You know what?
Then there's that bit as well where they're like,
everybody gather round the boot.
We're all going to round the boot.
And Harry's like, what's going on?
They're like, that's a teleport boot, you moron.
Harry, you idiot.
Touch the boot.
He's like, oh.
Quick, like, go on the boot. Remember that Quick like Oh the boot Remember that
Tell him in advance
He could die
Yeah he could die
Yeah
And then he just
Tumbles out of the air
I mean a few of them do
Yeah
So what is also
Bizarre about this though
And we'll get back to the dragon
But then make him fight a dragon
Is that
His name goes in
The cup And then there's some Michael Gambon like and we'll get back to the dragon but they make him fight a dragon is that his name goes in the
the cup
and then there's some
Michael Gambon like
Hey!
Did you put your
did you put your name in there
or whatever
it's really bizarre
yeah
it's a
it's a very out of character
even for this version
of the character
yeah right uh huh
the way he rushes into the room
and just
just grabs it
Harry Potter Harry Potter
yeah
so there's that element
you're such a
renegade Harry Potter
except you never are
you never have been
we've always assumed
it about you
100 points
yes
I still think in
10 years from now
they're gonna force
awakens this shit
they're gonna bring
everybody back
they're gonna make
the cursed child
into a trilogy or
something and it's
gonna make 4 billion
dollars
wow be cool
and if you don't
like it Mason
yes
do you like it, Mason. Yes.
Do you like it?
You okay with that?
I'm going to say, hypothetically speaking,
just to see what you're going to say,
I don't like it.
That's okay.
Huh.
You son of a bitch.
And that's the end of Harry Potter.
Hooray!
Who knows what he'll get up next time.
I mean, everybody who's watched all the other movies and read all the other books.
Why are his clothes so crap if he's got so
much money? Good question.
Why was he so sad when they... I had that
grey jacket with the white line down
the sleeve. The track jacket.
Yeah, you better believe it.
It wasn't my jacket, there was two jackets.
No, it's a different jacket. I remember all your
jackets. I remember your dirty track jacket,
alright? Good. Alright, Mason, we're
here to talk about The Meg.
Yep.
We didn't see it last week, but we saw it this week.
Yep.
It's crap.
What did you think?
Yeah, it's crap.
Okay, good.
All right, Mason.
What's really exciting about this week is we get to talk about The Predator.
Ask me what I thought of it.
What did you think of it, James?
I thought it was pretty good.
Did you?
No, it was fucking terrible.
It was a really bad movie.
I knew it.
It was really bad.
Yeah, it was bad. It started off okay, and then it was fucking terrible. It was a really bad movie. I knew it. It was really bad. Yeah, it was bad. Like, it started off okay, and then it was horrible.
Yeah.
It blew my mind how bad it was.
It really threw me.
Yeah, right?
What the fuck?
What did you think?
Now, what a big week for Marvel Video Games, Mason.
I agree.
Because Spider-Man on the PlayStation 4 was released.
Marvel's Spider-Man.
On the PlayStation 4.
It was released.
Yep.
And look, I feel like because it's such a cinematic story,
you should tell us what that cinematic story was.
Wait, hang on.
Oh, no.
Oh, you finally killed me.
I'm asking you what the story was.
I'm going. Everything's story was. I'm going.
Everything's going dark.
I'm fine.
All right, Mason.
What a week for a movie coming out.
Yep.
Agreed.
It's Fantastic Beasts.
They're not in the case.
They're just kind of shoehorned into the film, too.
Yep.
That's what we got.
The opening weekend, not great.
Oh.
63 million US opening compared to the last one, which got 74.
Okay.
We can talk about why that may be the case,
but we have to also talk about what you think the story was.
I'm just wondering which one we want to do first.
Oh, I see.
Which one do you want to do first?
I think I'll get the story out of the way first because...
What is the story of this film?
Good question.
I know I asked you.
Yeah.
But I'm genuinely...
All right, hang on.
Okay, Grindelwald is out.
I feel like...
Or he gets out.
No, that's true.
I like that opening sequence.
Why would you take him by rickety flying horse?
Yeah.
Can't you jump anywhere instantly?
Don't you have that ability? It's a bit vague, isn't it? Can't you just cut anywhere instantly? Don't you have that ability?
It's a bit vague, isn't it? Can't you just cut his throat and just leave him?
Don't! What are you doing? He's Hitler! I mean, I know you don't know, but he's done a lot of crimes.
You know what you could do? You could get a couple of judges from England and put them in a rickety horse carriage and send them to America and they could go,
hmm, all the evidence says you're the worst let's kill you now and they could
put him in that
see remember the thing
in the last one
where there's a
there's a water or something
you die
that's a room
that anybody
they'll throw anybody into
the acid room
yeah
just put him in that
just put him in that
they'll do that on a whim
and then we do it for this guy
weird isn't it
anyway that's what the story is
yes
thank you
correct
do you want to move your mic
a little closer no people say when I ask you to do this there's no change but i just want to point out
you fix it in post you fix it in post i say i get it all right so did you put some reverb on it now
so it sounds like it's too close i can't too close that's too close. Yeah. Mason, Avengers Endgame is probably why people are listening to this.
Probably.
Wait, not for my game of thrones food puns.
Now they are, obviously.
Now they've got two reasons to listen.
Okay, good.
How much sadness are we going to get before they kick into gear?
I hope minimal sadness.
You don't think you have to sit in it for a minute?
I don't want to.
Make Thor think about what he's done.
Yeah, I guess that's for sure.
Why does nobody blame Thor? Well, I mean, that would have killed anybody yeah but it didn't it did it i guess
that's true but i mean even a shot to the head may not have killed him you know i think it would
have killed him i reckon it would have lodged in his neck but if you got him in the head or go for
the arm or the balls oh yeah the arms would have done it too If you got hit in the balls Do you If you got hit in the balls
With an axe
You're not
You're not getting up
You're not doing anything
I just imagine like
Just a full minute
Of him just gasping on the ground
Clutching in his groin
Just
Because you know
When you get hit in the balls
Nothing makes sense anymore
Doesn't
Time and space
Yeah
Become irrelevant
They should just
Somebody out there do a
video, kick your friend
in the balls and see if they
can snap their fingers. I bet they can't.
That is the perfect explanation for being
kicked in the balls. Nothing makes
sense anymore.
It really doesn't. Yeah, you forget who you
are. He would have forgotten his whole
goal to eliminate half the population of the
universe. He would have just his whole his whole goal to eliminate half the population of the universe he would have just like oh my balls that's all you know yeah they could have they
should have done that when they were on titan that it should have been like this you grab his arm you
grab his arm i'll kick him in the balls peter quill you're mad at him kick him in the balls
could have kicked him with the balls they They didn't though. Yeah. Yeah.
He doesn't have any balls.
He might not.
That's why he's so mad.
Maybe he changed himself with the glove
so people couldn't kick him in the balls.
That's maybe that's what I would do.
Maybe that's number one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Maybe that's task number one.
That's smart.
Yeah.
That's really good stuff on his behalf.
Mason, the biggest movie of the week by a long way
was Aquaman.
What did you think?
I didn't feel at any point there was a moment where I just went,
why did they do that?
Either plot-wise or filming-wise or production-wise, you know?
Whereas several of the others, one of those is going to crop up.
I'm either going to go, Batman, why did you do that, Batman?
Or I'm going to go, like, what's his do that, Batman? Or I'm going to go like,
what's his name?
Zack Snyder.
Why'd you do that?
Yeah.
You're talking like Batman killing or the mustache thing
or like the Steppenwolf decision
to make him a weird CG monster
or the email attachment.
Yeah, exactly.
There was no elements of those,
I don't think.
Every villain is just fire and smoke
at the end.
Yeah.
I mean, there was a little bit of fire and smoke.
Yeah, there was.
There definitely was.
But at least this was wrapped up in a very colourful package, I thought.
I loved Nicole Kidman's weird survival fish outfit.
Yep.
Just, like, she's this actress who's, like, clawed her way up from BMX Bandits.
I would say, yeah.
Through Batman Forever, done all these like the
hours and amazing award-winning television and then she's just standing in a dead fish
she's got a crab arm yeah it's pretty great i'm saying to you i think i said to you after the
movie's finished i would have liked to have seen oh my god yeah i love that what were you thinking
about the weird fish stuff and tell kimmon's arm. Yeah, most of the crab arm, yeah.
Just throws that crab arm aside like it's nothing.
There were dinosaurs there.
There were, yeah.
That's true, yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
I don't have anything else to say.
No, that's all right, yeah.
How does this universe look to the average person in this universe?
How does the world look?
It's the same universe where Superman knocked down a city
and then they're just in the centre of the earth
and Nicole Kidman's in a fish costume
and there's fucking dinosaurs running around.
That's very true.
There's a magic trident.
Yeah.
Fucking, I don't know, man.
Yeah, it's pretty weird, right?
Great.
All stuff.
All stuff, isn't it, Mason?
It is all stuff.
Okay, you know what it's time for?
Is it time for what we're reading?
No, Mason.
It's time for Hate Mail, but the hate has an eight in it.
Hooray!
Hooray!
Okay, for everybody who doesn't know, Hate Mail, but the hate has an eight in it, is
a not very regular, but recurring segment on this show where I read eight bits of hate
mail from the internet.
To us.
To us.
It's never eight, but it's always hate that's right so i collect them just over over a few months and then i surprise everybody with them and once the pressure's built to an appropriate level
we release that valve and hate yeah okay this is from uh jidge net all right this video is for no
reason longer than five minutes you You suck and your mama too.
YouTubers like you should get cancer in the...
Sorry.
YouTubers like you should get the cancer in the size of an basketball in your ass.
Wow.
Cancer basketball ass.
Yeah.
Wow.
Wait, what is that video for?
I don't know.
All right.
Matthew says...
Could be for anything we've done
Could be, really
Mr. Sunday Movies
Mate, shut up
Stop spoiling
Oh, this is for an Easter egg video
Well, he's opened with mate
So he's a fan, obviously
He's a big fan
This is for a solo Easter egg video
Yep
Which is after the movie comes out
And in it I say spoilers
And then I do the Easter eggs
Stop spoiling films for boys
Who are too lazy to purchase tickets.
You're an arsehole ruining the mystery and beauty of cinema.
Seriously, man, heighten your talents
and get real concept of analysis and criticism.
You're being judgmental,
and that's disgraceful, to be honest, perception.
That's incredible.
That's actually kind of...
It's like a haiku.
It had a lot of elements.
I believe the weather was mentioned at
one point oh that's that's great stuff it's not i mean also don't stop disappointing all the boys
yeah i don't know i don't know what that what any of that is
uh transformers 619 says on the same video fuck you you dick suck bitch
i should probably preface this with a language warning oh yeah right the content
warning guys yeah mason now do you mind if i bring back a popular segment which we couldn't
bring back last week because you had your stupid kidney stone your dummy uh okay dumb idiot all
right look i agree with some of what you've just said but not all of what you said that's in the
spirit of this segment oh which is hate mail but the hate has an eight in it okay you got people who uh valentine something says if you don't like star wars stop pretending you're a
fan of it so it's people thinking that it's a serious video and it's just me really hating on
star wars which is didn't watch the video yeah uh this is from for nord doc good i hate nerds
can they get any more until self-aware Jesus man your opinions
don't fucking matter
you geek
I don't see you making
your own triple A movie
you pathetic loser
I'm not even sure
here's a little
here's a little
revelation there
if you're saying
if you're watching this video
and you're calling somebody
you mentioning triple A movies
you're a nerd
you're a bigger nerd
than most of the people
who watch the video
yeah which is fine yeah just admit whatever You're a nerd. You're a bigger nerd than most of the people who watch the video. Yeah.
Which is fine.
Yeah.
Just admit it.
Just admit whatever.
If you're into something too much, you're a nerd about it.
Just admit it.
That's right.
If you don't mind me, I'm going to deviate slightly from hate mail,
but the hate has an eight in it.
Okay.
There's a subsection that I'm going to call Straw Man Cuck Shield Corner.
Oh, for sure.
And these are all comments.
Straw Man Cuck Shield Corner.
Yeah.
These are all like, they're the new buzzwords. I don't know if you know this. Oh, sure sure, yeah. And these are all comments. Strawman Cuckshill Corner. Yeah, these are all, like, they're the new buzzwords.
I don't know if you know this.
Oh, sure, yeah, yeah.
They're popping up everywhere.
People are using them a lot incorrectly.
This is from Brittis Salmon.
You're making a straw man out of those who criticize SJWs.
You need to realize that they are a real threat,
not only to the creative process, but to everything you hold dearly,
namely Western civilization.
You don't hold Western civilization dearly at all.
Here's the things you hold dearly.
Grudges.
You hold those very dearly.
Close to my heart.
Crossfit.
I don't do that anymore.
The new one, F45.
Yeah, I do that, yeah.
I like the dog.
Yeah, the dog's pretty good, isn't she?
Yeah, good dog.
Oh, my family, yeah.
Sure, yeah, all right.
All right. But top three of the dog. Top three of the dog, yeah good, isn't she? Yeah, good dog. Oh, my family, yeah. Oh, yeah, sure, yeah, all right. All right, but top three of the dog.
Top three of the dog, yeah.
It's from Dallas Wade.
Let's create a straw man angry fanboy,
and if anyone criticizes The Last Jedi in any way,
lump them in with all the straw man categories
that only accurately portrays maybe a handful of actual people.
Ignore all legitimate criticisms.
Bad storytelling.
What's that guy's name again?
Dallas Wade.
Hey, Dallas Wade.
Triggered, mate.
Gotcha.
This is from T. Feechie.
Not a binary choice.
Ruin versus good movie.
You straw man and cuck shill.
He's got them all.
He's done the bingo.
If anyone's doing a bingo out there, he's nailed it.
You were cuck.
Also.
Because people throw the word around
that's why

like we're doing right now's like you review beta cucks like we're
doing right now let's review this beta cuck uh i have the tiger says another trope that needs to
end do you remember i did that uh the video where i was talking about seven movie tropes that need
to die but it was just you complaining that everybody's more ripped than you yes i remember
that's right yeah uh another trope that needs to end is YouTube beta male bitch boys complaining about having their nuts ripped off.
Just shut the fuck up.
That's very angry.
Yeah.
There's a lot of that.
This one is the need money bad.
One word says, it's not that hard to get in the shape
if you're not a soy boy.
Oh, that's a new one as well.
Yeah, I've heard that recently.
That's good.
If you don't deserve to play a badass superhero one as well yeah I've heard that recently that's good if you don't deserve and you don't deserve
to play a badass superhero
if you're not willing
to get in shape
nobody wants to watch
a pudgy baiter
that has to use stuntmen
for every physical scene
I kind of do
yeah mate it's fun
it'd be fun
yeah
but yeah so there you go Mason
that's Draw Man Cuck's
Your Corner for this week
I loved it
don't worry it'll be back
oh good
I'll just wait another day
for them all to build up again
yeah exactly
are you ready
we could probably do one at the end of this episode we'll just do another day for them all to build up again. Yeah, exactly. We could probably do one at the end of this episode.
We'll just do another one.
Okay, now, Mason, I know that that was the end of the segment,
but do you mind if I sneak in a cheeky hate mail, but the hate hasn't aged yet?
Oh, I'd love it.
That's very exciting.
Well, here's the thing.
This is a very special edition of hate mail, but the hate hasn't aged yet.
Oh, why?
Because it's all one person.
Oh, my goodness.
Okay.
Does he have eight points to make?
Yes.
Well, there's more than that in here.
So I could go through it all, and I might,
but we'll see how we go.
Basically, I don't know if a few weeks back,
we did a video together, which Matt edited,
which was about the X-Men timeline and how it's broken.
Oh, yes, sure.
And how all these movies don't really connect,
and they're sort of in the same universe,
but they may as well
be set in different
whatevers and they all
contradict each other,
right?
This person takes
umbrage with that
and many other points.
This is a YouTube comment.
Yes, this is from
X-Men Magneto Acolytes.
Okay, well,
he's got an agenda
for starters.
This isn't some
Joe Lunchpail
off the street
who's just like,
well, you know,
bloody, alright.
You guys were all over the place.
It's sad how stupid you guys are,
and X3 was the first Marvel movie to have a post-credits scene,
but it isn't canon.
Can you see they're doing Dark Phoenix again as a reboot?
Not the same character, you dumb fucks.
Because they erased all the fucking movies.
Which ones?
So X-Men 1 through 3.
Except for First Class.
Okay.
Brilliantly using the comic book accurate
story, Days of Future Past
when I do that. Oh, is that what it is?
As a goodbye to the old and hello to the new
which are Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix.
Deadpool is set in present day but lives in his own
space with Time Traveller.
These might be mixed up as well.
This might have been the first one.
Unsubscribed. It is not broken and you are a
dumpster fire. Deadpool is a present day but he lives in his own space so so yeah he's really
hammering that home does he think he lives with deadpool i don't know it feels like
i don't know it feels like they're roommates or something it feels like he's their roommates and
he's like now deadpool just remember where there's a line down the middle of the fridge.
You live in your own space.
You live in your own space, mate.
There's nothing on the other side
because Deadpool doesn't really live with him.
This is not real.
Deadpool lives in his own space and now has cable.
Not hard only for Disney retards
who are kids who wet the beds and don't read comics.
Oh, that's us.
Next comment.
X-Men has an answer and quit bringing up movies
that are not canon anymore.
Deadpool lives in his own space, so he can bring back anything.
Deadpool does live in his own space, you know?
Next one.
Deadpool, I think it's time you get your own space, you know?
I've come up with a theory.
He calls himself Deadpool.
Yeah.
And.
He's got his own space.
He's recently.
Moved out?
Moved out.
He's recently been
ejected
from his family home
or he shared a room
with his brother
and now he doesn't
now he has his
oh his brother's left
oh no that's good
his brother's moved out
now Deadpool
has his own space
I get it
the last comment
as I read first
Deadpool is set
in the present day
but he does live
in his own space
he does live
in his own space
it's very true
wow that's
I just
it's the effort
of that because I was because I just, it's the effort of that.
Like, cause it just, cause I was, I, cause I kept going back and checking.
Oh, there's another one.
Cause I found the one I'm like, that's gold.
But then I kept, it just kept unfolding.
It was a gift that kept on giving.
I like him a lot.
I like his passion.
Me too.
Yeah.
Good on him.
Get out there.
Yeah.
You know what time for Mason?
Oh, what we read and what we're going to read?
That's right.
I'm doing the thing.
You know what time for, Mason?
What we read and what we're going to read?
That's right.
I'm doing a theme.
And then there's a theme song.
Yeah, I'd already put it in.
Okay, nice.
Good stuff, Mason.
Do you want to quickly talk about Black Mirror and kind of butcher it?
Yeah, let's do it. This is probably worth a whole episode, but this is it.
We're doing it.
Oh, well, here's one you're bang up for which is the episode 2 Archangel
yeah
I didn't love this one
with Rosemary DeWitt
no it was
I think because it was
so grim
I'm like
oh that's unpleasant
like it's just
very grim
and upsetting
and putting
the fact that
someone can see
through your eyes
and track your locations
and all that kind of thing
maybe that's what
this was very
society as a phone
very much so
what would you
what do you think about that putting a bloody chip in your head i'm against it yeah me too as i get older
very close to putting chips in kids to track them right you can't track your kids through your phone
as well yeah it's kids if you're listening your parents are tracking you oh every year every
movement throw your phone into a river that's right throw your phone in a river and get a log
and jump on the log and go down the river. But then when the river forks off,
make sure the phone goes in one direction and you go the other way.
Exactly, yeah.
High dissent.
Yeah, I feel this one's kind of close to it.
Wait, are we judging this on whether or not society is a phone?
We never explain what it means.
It's just a gut feeling of how much you think society is a phone in the episode.
I think in this one, society is very close to being a phone. It also... What the hell was that? It's just a gut feeling of how much you think society is a phone in the episode. And I think in this one, society is very close to being a phone.
It also...
The hell was that?
It's a remote.
Okay, that's fine.
I'll probably just leave it there.
I guess I have to throw out that TV now.
Exactly.
What are you going to do?
It's behind the couch.
It's too far away now to switch it on and off.
It is, isn't it?
Hang on.
What else happened in it?
Mason, we don't have time for this.
No, we have so much time.
No, because I have to go through this. Oh, yeah, that's a good it Mason we don't have time for this no we have so much time no because I have to
go through this
oh yeah that's a good
point I don't have to
do anything
oh also
I also started
I rewatched some of
the Defenders as well
Defenders of the Earth
Defenders
out of the sky
his rockets ignite
jets into battle
flying faster than
light
Flash Gordon
lord of the jungle
the hero who stops
the beasts call him
brother
the ghost
to war
and to
defenders
of the earth
defenders
Okay, I think that's everything
for what we were reading.
Alright, nice.
Now let's do
the segment of the show
where Mason plays
the letters theme
letters theme
here is our letters theme
that's loading
again I blame your wifi I blame your wifi what? yeah sorry the classic one was The letters theme. Letters theme. Here is our letters theme. That's loading.
Again, I blame your Wi-Fi.
I blame your Wi-Fi.
What?
Yeah, sorry.
The classic one was letters, oh letters.
We love you, some letters.
They're only a take away.
I know they're here right now.
We're going to do letters.
Good work.
Nice.
Okay. I noticed you winced. I was doing keyboard cat. Oh, I Nice. Okay.
I noticed you winced.
I was doing keyboard cat.
Oh, I see.
Okay, that makes more sense.
Makes a lot more sense now. We should start filming this.
People can see all the great visual gags I'm doing.
Like this one.
Like this one.
Oh, that's pretty good.
Thank you.
That is good stuff.
That is 90% of James' recorded output is video.
You miss a lot.
It's so good.
For people who don't know, I just did the OK symbol.
Yeah.
I mean, for people who don't know, I mean, everybody other than Mason.
I saw it.
Yeah, you saw it.
I wasn't even really paying attention.
Dog, are you OK?
Do you want to go out?
All right, I'll let her out.
I'll let her go.
You'll let her out?
Who let the dog out?
Mason did.
Mason did.
He's doing it now.
I can say that joke that we do
Before the show
Hey Mason
Clothes the door
It's something that's become a thing
Whenever we want to close the door
We say clothes
I don't know what it stems from
I don't think it's funny
But we say it every time
We'll never stop doing it
Okay
If you want to reach the show
Hashtag Weekly Planet Pod on Twitter
or weeklyplanetpod.gmail.com
to shoot through an email to the email inbox
where Mason is looking at it right now.
Oh, I'm not though, but I will.
I'll read out a tweet then while you're doing that.
Got a tweet here from Andrej.
A-N-D-R-E-J.
What's that?
Andre.
It's probably Andre.
Oh, very good.
Yeah, Silent J.
Okay.
I love the idea of you two
talking more
about a few more
serious movies
like Llewyn Davis
which we talked about
we did talk about that last week
I think the humour
between you guys is outstanding
I'd love to see you
broaden the scope
of the show a bit
thanks for making my
daily way to work
something to look forward to
what do you think of that
I would love to
serious stuff
okay
we can be serious
I had an interview
Lee Silly
take his shoes off light them on fire I had an interview lee silly i had an interview with ed garata a while back our good friend our interview no it wasn't i was
i was there for that but he was saying that he has something called he considers vegetable movies
like movies you just should see because they're like oscar contenders and they're serious and
they're important they say important things so i don't know it maybe it probably won't happen
anytime soon,
but we could probably do a spin-off
where we pick a serious movie and then talk about that.
We could call it The Vegetable Boys.
Yeah, we could.
Like 100 Greatest Cinematic Classics and we could...
No, it's going to be called The Vegetable Boys.
The Vegetable Boys, yeah.
Okay, good.
But, I don't know.
What do you think?
More serious stuff?
Yeah, okay, we can do that.
But again, it's going to be called The Vegetable Boys.
It has to be called that now.
Or The Veggie Boys?
Is that already a thing?
No, you're thinking of The Vengaboys.
I am.
And Veggie Tales.
Veggie Tales, yeah.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Vegetable Boys.
Yeah.
All right.
I was thinking of vegetable movies.
Like, I was thinking that before the show.
Uh-huh.
But then people just think it's movies about vegetables.
Yeah.
Like Veggie Tales.
Yeah.
And this, there's a slightly smaller but still very real chance that they will think it's a podcast by two boys who are also vegetables.
But if we explain it in the intro, I think they will probably get that we are regular boys.
I'm a broccoli.
Oh, yeah.
All right.
Well, we'll explain that one of us is a regular boy and you're a broccoli man.
I think that's a show.
There we go.
We did it.
Yeah.
Yeah. I think broccoli is better raw. Yeah we go. We did it. Yeah. Yeah.
I think broccoli is better raw.
Yeah, I said it.
What?
Yep.
That's insanity.
You're an idiot.
You know what the other thing about broccoli?
Wait, wait, wait.
Do you have a thing of frozen broccoli?
You just eat chunks of it?
I don't get frozen.
I get fresh broccoli, Mason.
I'm not a monster.
You're eating it raw, so you are a monster.
And I am made of broccoli, so I guess I am a monster.
You're a monster raw, so you are a monster. And I am made of broccoli, so I guess I am a monster.
You're a monster and a cannibal.
No, I think it tastes better.
Wow.
I think broccoli loses a bit of its kind of pizzazz when you boil it.
Wow.
Maybe just a little bit of a boil. But the other thing is broccoli, and I always complain to Claire about this,
it's got a pocket of hot in it.
Yes.
In the leaves.
Yes.
You think it's not as hot as it is
but it's just like
holding a fistful
of heat in there
just waiting
waiting until you
bite into it
madness
it's better raw
I get it
god
it's a superfood
is it?
I don't know
everything's a superfood
apparently
here's one that I saw
this is from Kyle Cox
with theplanetpod.gmail.com
greetings from the USA
hello how would you feel about the MCU creating entirely new superheroes This is from Kyle Cox, with theplanetpod.gmail.com. Greetings from the USA.
Hello.
How would you feel about the MCU creating entirely new superheroes?
It's kind of,
does it seem like a bit of a roll of the dice
to create a new comic book character at this point?
Yes.
In an established universe?
Because there's so much you can draw from.
Yeah, isn't it though?
Yeah.
And instead of just being like,
look, it's dog boy or whatever.
I don't know. Why did I go there? That's not a good one, obviously. Because you're, it's dog boy or whatever. I don't know.
Why did I go there?
That's not a good one, obviously.
Because you're looking at a dog and a boy.
That's true.
That's why.
So the dog and the boy, and you went dog boy?
But I think-
We're all lucky you didn't go microphone dog.
What about microphone dog?
He's got great hearing.
You could listen in on the bad guys because he's microphone dog.
It's just a microphone with dog's legs, right?
He says, I think it'd be cool for the MCU to create a hero from scratch
because it would mean that the audience would have no idea where the story was going.
It's not a bad idea.
Yeah, I think that's a good idea because it's, you know.
I wouldn't even know where to start because a lot of people have said,
what's your ideal comic book character that you would create?
Yeah, right.
Everything's being done.
And there's only slight variations.
I mean, every now and then
you'll get something completely outside the box.
Yeah.
But a lot of the time,
it's like he can fly and he shoots lasers,
but he can also meld his mind with technology or whatever.
Yeah, right.
And sure, you know,
maybe there's a crypto, the super dog.
Yeah.
He's got heat vision and, you know,
he can fly and he's super strong and he's invincible.
And super hearing.
Super hearing.
Yeah.
But that's too much, isn't it?
What if you strip that away?
What if you strip it right down?
Back to basics.
Just a dog.
Just a dog with super hearing.
But how would the dog have super hearing?
He's not an alien.
No.
We'd have to think about it, obviously.
You'd have to have some sort of...
Look, it doesn't matter. A ear a big ear yeah a dog with a big human ear on its back exactly right yeah that's interesting yeah that's very interesting to me thanks kyle kyle i got one
more tweet here from grayson who says hey guys i was wondering if i can get a shout out for my new
baby daughter our first and my wife who did all the hard work to bring her to us.
Mate, you did some of the work.
Don't sell yourself short.
That's true.
I did do some of the work.
Not you.
Oh, didn't I?
No.
James, best job in the world.
Am I right?
And hashtag as a dad Mason.
So yeah, congratulations.
Is it the best job in the world?
Best job in the world is probably rollercoaster tester.
No, because you could die.
Yeah.
King of ice cream. The King of Ice Cream.
The King of Ice Cream, yes.
What does that entail?
Do you just...
Do you have to declare things?
Yeah, then you get ice cream.
But I think you wouldn't appreciate it.
No, I think you would.
I think you're wise because you're the king.
They don't just give you the role.
You're wise because you...
No, you inherit it.
You're a king.
No, this is based on merit.
This is a job
So you're the president of ice cream
No you're the king of ice cream
The title's the king of ice cream
You can't get elected
Into a monarchy
You're not being elected
You're being promoted
You're getting the job
You interview for the job
And then you become the king of ice cream
You don't interview to be the king
Alright
It doesn't work like that
Anyway you get free ice cream
It means your father was the king of ice cream
What I'm saying is
And you grew up as the prince of ice cream,
a little roly-poly ice cream boy
who's never experienced anything in his life.
Maybe in your monarchy,
but this is America, all right?
And in America, you interview for the job
and you get the job and you're wise.
That's why they gave you the job
and you get as much free ice cream as you want,
but you don't eat too much Because you're wise
You're just talking about a guy
Who works in an ice cream factory
No
He's not a king
No he's the king
He's just a guy who interviews for a job
And then eats some ice cream
That's working in an ice cream factory
You fucking idiot
Well he's the
He's the kick in my ice
How do we get on with this?
Our best job in the world
Alright
Do you think king of ice cream is the best job in the world?
Tweet at me, at Rick and Pitya Brown.
Yes or no?
And me.
Yeah, both of us.
No context.
Yes or no?
You got a letter or do you want me to do a tweet?
This is from Ari Perez.
Okay.
It's his birthday on Monday, June 11 when the show comes out.
It's his birthday and his twin brother's birthday.
It's your birthday.
You've got to sing the twin birthday song.
Okay.
It's a different birthday song.
You know it?
No.
It's like this.
It's your birthday.
Two of you same day.
It's your birthday.
Never forget where you're from.
A woman and a man.
Wow, you are delirious.
I really am.
Well, that's some Bonza content, if you ask me.
So that's totally worth it.
Also, I feel like in this day and age, that song is outdated.
You might not be from a woman and a man.
It's a different era.
I think they should update the song.
The song you just invented.
No, it's a real song.
Mere seconds ago.
It's a real song.
It's not a real song.
Anyway, on a somewhat unrelated note, I'm a computer programmer And was thinking about
Creating a weekly planet
Chrome extended
To change all images
To Meso's face
I think that would be
Pretty fantastic
100%
For weekly planet listeners
Who don't get enough Meso
In their regular day to day lives
How do you guys feel
About that idea
I think it's great
Do it
Can it work
It could certainly work
I wouldn't even know
Where to start
If you could build that
And then send us some screenshots,
I would appreciate that.
Okay.
Should we cap this off with the birthdays song again?
Yes.
Do you want to do it?
Um,
no,
I can't remember how it goes.
I'll sing along with you if you started.
It's fine.
Okay.
We'll come back to it another week.
Happy birthdays though.
Anything else or should we wrap it up?
That's,
that's it.
I think I'll let me,
let me give me one second.
I'll give you two seconds, Mason. That how generous i am yeah people say i'm the most
generous man in podcasting who's ever said that everybody i tend to agree too oh i have one more
thing all right no myria sandwich is that what you were doing this whole time when you said one
more thing it was yeah i was looking through i edited it out, but that was a long pause, everybody. It went for hours.
Great.
Obara Sandwich.
You can't just say sandwich.
No, you can.
It's a page of sandwiches.
It's a page of Game of Thrones sandwiches.
They're all slightly different.
The only uniting factor is they all have blood in them.
Tyreed Sandwich.
Gotcha.
Yeah, it's the whole show, I think.
Yeah, it's good
It is good
Instead of doing that
Do you want to wrap us up?
I'll wrap up the show
Thanks everybody for listening
Thanks for sitting through me
Badly naming Game of Thrones
Related food items

But seriously, Mason.
Yes.
Oh, no.

He's turning his chair around.
Oh, no.
He's going to be delivering some life lessons like a cool teacher.
He's straddling his chair backwards. But mason oh here we go it's been a bloody it is
you know what my favorite part of that would have been if i didn't mention it at all
because i know you're relying on me to be like he's turning around the fear of the mind he's
turning if i just stared at you stony-faced and then have been like, continue?
This is my job full-time.
Isn't it, right? Yeah.
And I know I probably say this too much, but I do appreciate it because I get to spend time with my family and live at home
and work from home.
And it's a thing that I really enjoy doing every day,
which I complain because I'm like, oh, I have to break down a trailer.
But it's either that or I have to break down a trailer but it's either that
or I have to go
shovel manure
that's very true
you're only two skills
I mean you are so good at it
I'm one of the best
and look I would just
like to say
thanks everybody
for listening
because this allows me
to also spend time
with my family
what?
that's right
I'm your long lost brother
cliffhanger
at the end of the episode
we'll see you next year you dogs
no that's probably not true
that's probably not true yeah
yeah
probably
and that's a good lesson to go out on
and that's
the tooth
that's not the end though
because I gotta quickly
apologize to Rich,
even though I didn't do this.
And I'm just going to put this out there in general.
I caught an email.
I don't normally delve into the bloody Gmail, Mason.
I did just fall bed last night.
Oh, this is fun, yeah.
And I got an email from Rich who private messaged the Instagram account
MrSundayMovies asking a Justice League-related question.
And the person who runs that account, who's not me, replied,
I'm married, bitch.
So he's nailed your voice, basically.
Yeah.
So that's fun, isn't it?
And this person is also married.
That's good.
So I've...
No, I don't think he is married.
I think the character, like he knows your character is married.
Your persona.
So he's acting as you.
Is that what that is?
That's how you would react to that.
I would say that.
If anyone asks you a question on Instagram, you tell them, hey, I'm married, bitch.
I'm married, bitch.
That's it.
It's time to end the show, though, Mason.
Okie dokie.
Check out our bloody socials.
Planetbroadcasting.com.
Everything's there that you'd ever need.
Is that the show?
That's the show, I think, yeah.
Cool.
All right.
Grab that gem, everybody.
I'm married, bitch.
That's your official new catchphrase.
Somebody make a T-shirt.
It's a good catchphrase.
It is.
I like it a lot.
People who are married can wear it.
Couples can get matching T-shirts.
That's right, yeah.
If you're not married, you can wear it ironically.
That's a great idea.
It's all good.
What an amazing source of revenue for all of us.
Okay.
He's taken the earbud out.
Good thing we bought those giant Galactron-sized earbuds.
Well, our ear sizes are not dissimilar.
Oh, really?
He's got pretty big ears.
Thank you for never bringing it up, but they're pretty big.
You've got regular-sized ears.
I have to add the extra large-sized earbud.
Okay.
I have small ears.
Nothing fits my ears.
Silence!
Oh, God.
He's back.
I have listened to your so-called podcast,
and I find it wanting.
Yeah, that's fair enough.
I mean, some of those references are pretty obscure, aren't they?
If you keep bringing up the 1980s variety show
Hey Hey It's Saturday,
it's no wonder you can't retain
any new listeners.
Oh, come on, mate.
Bit rough.
Bit bloody rough.
You're not getting the context of the show,
you're only getting the clips.
Your world will be chomped.
James, James,
he's bringing up his hands
in that weird cosmic way they do where they're gonna blow up
the whole world. What are we gonna...
Oh wait, I have one more thing in this bag.
Galactron, bloody cop this, mate.
Mmm.
Light flaky pastry.
Real fruit filling.
Delicious.
I enjoy this.
Hostess fruit pie.
Are they any good? I've never had one.
I've also never had one.
This has been in my bag since the late 60s.
Honest to God, I didn't...
James, he's eating it.
He's loving it.
He's leaving Earth.
I leave this planet now, puny humans.
But I will return in 100 years for more of these fruit pies.
Well, not our problem.
No, not our problem at all. Well, I hope not, anyway.
I plan to be dead. We'll be dead long before then. Thank God. Maybe our children
will be doing this show.
I wouldn't wish that on anybody,
to be honest. Thank you for listening
to the best of Weekly Planet, both Galactron
and, there he goes, and everybody
listening to this. We'll be back soon, won't we?
On the 20th? The 23rd? Hang on, let me check the dates. And everybody listening to this. We'll be back soon, won't we? On the 20th?
23rd?
Hang on, let me check the dates.
Something with the 20th.
Yeah, on the 21st.
Oh, there we go.
Yeah, so we'll be back for that.
We've got big things coming up.
Big things coming up.
There's big movies coming out.
We're going to be talking about the movies we're most anticipating.
We've also got a Justice League movie commentary, which you can check out.
We'll talk about that next week.
We're just about to record it.
I'm really excited for that.
Me too.
It's going to be so great.
Anyway, thank you, everybody.
Have a good time.
Have a great time.
Have a great time.
Yeah.
Grab that gem, everyone.
He remembered something.
I'll be back in 100 years to kill you all.
