FX's The Veil explores the surprising and fraught relationship between two women who play a deadly
game of truth and lies on the road from Istanbul to Paris and London. One woman has a secret,
the other a mission to reveal it before thousands of lives are lost.
FX's The Veil, starring Elizabeth Moss, is now streaming on Disney+.
As women, our life stages come with unique risk factors,
like when our estrogen levels drop during menopause,
causing the risk of heart disease to go up.

This episode is brought to you by HelloFresh.
Well, HelloFresh.
Hmm.
Red hot comic book movie news.
Shooting up your butt hole.
The Weekly Planet.
The Weekly Planet.
James, wake up.
Can you hear me, James?
Where am I? Who are you?
James, you're in the hospital. Your name is James.
Oh no, that's such a generic name. Can I have a cooler name?
Can I be Jim Bob?
Maybe you should sleep a little bit more.
Now look, my name's May So.
First name or last name?
It's not important. It's like Madonna.
You don't know who Madonna is. It's not important.
Anyway, you were hit by some non-specific form of public transport.
Okay, cool.
I don't know who was driving.
Yeah, right.
Maybe no one.
Probably no one was driving.
Probably it was automated or something.
Automation?
How long have I been out?
Like 20 minutes.
Anyway, you're in a hospital.
It's fine, but you seem in good shape, but it seems like you've...
I'm in excellent shape for a man of my age.
How old do you think you are?
54.
Yep, you're doing great.
You're doing great there, buddy.
Anyway, you've lost all your memory,
and I've been speaking to the doctors outside,
and they say the best way to recover your memory
is be alone and focused and just let your thoughts drift away,
and after enough time time the memories will slowly
return to you. Terrific. But I mean what do doctors know ultimately? You know what I mean?
What's a doctor? See exactly you don't know. I'm as the only person you know here. I'm the only
authority on this. So what I'd recommend is we do a podcast together. Yeah right. And what I'm
going to do is just just ram awesome clips from that podcast just your ear holes, and that's going to bring your memory back.
So everything's going to be fine, right?
Are you doing this to continue this show that we've still got revenue
coming in from the show, even though I've got severe brain damage?
Look, don't think about that too hard because, again,
you've got severe brain damage.
Just focus on the good, fun times we had this year, okay?
Okay.
All right, let's do this.
You mean last year?
I assume.
Just be quiet and listen to the podcast.
All right, new theme song.
You ready?
There's a new theme song.
I've got it.
You made it.
Yeah.
Ready?
All right.
My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard
And they all are like it's better all are like, it's better than yours
Damn right, it's better than yours
I can teach you, but I have to charge
New theme song, what do you think?
Incredible, I love it.
So, look, we want something less risque, a bit more family friendly.
Yeah, for sure.
Something that we're singing, got milkshakes, everyone loves milkshakes.
Yards.
Hanging out in a yard.
These are all good things.
That's the new theme song now.
Why have you chosen to do this today of all days?
Because it's hot, Mason.
You're losing your mind.
We're doing this a little.
Have you put the actual theme in or is that what it is now?
Who knows?
Okay, great.
Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of the week.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
We did that during the theme song.
People didn't hear it.
What happens is James mutes the microphone.
So there's no nonsense.
There's no nonsense.
And then he plays the theme.
He cuts that in so we could be doing anything.
So we just went, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
And then James said, just for us.
And I'm like, why save it for just for us?
You know, why not give it to the whole world?
Anyway, you were saying something about our podcast.
Yeah, it's a podcast.
We do it.
We're in it.
Oh my God.
It's the weekly planet.
My new intro.
What do you think?
I don't like it.
I like your enthusiasm, but I like nothing else about it.
Okay.
Oh my God.
It's the weekly planet.
This isn't good.
Why did I decide to do this?
I don't know.
It's great though. No, actually's the weekly planet. This isn't good. Why did I decide to do this? I don't know. It's great though.
No, actually the second time around, when, may I ask, when did you decide to do that
new intro?
A second before.
That's very good.
Thank you.
I don't think you mean it.
No, that was good.
I like the fact that you took a punt.
Oh God, I appreciate that.
Maybe we should do that every week.
I'll just do a different thing every week.
Yeah.
You know what?
Because there was probably some listeners who are on the verge of no longer listening.
And they're not like, well, I just won't listen this week.
I'm like, I'm going to listen.
But if he opens up with, hey, we're on the Weekly Planet, I am done.
And they've got their finger on the stop.
And they're ready.
And then they're like, oh, my God, it's the Weekly Planet.
This is the shot in the arm I need.
That's right.
It's your boys, Jimmy and Nicky.
You know it went back.
That was brought up on the Planet Broadcasting Great Mates group.
And I'm like, should we be Jimmy and Nicky?
Yeah.
If that works.
Definitely.
Who's Jimmy and who's Nicky, though?
I'm Jimmy, obviously.
Yeah.
And I'm Mickey.
You're Mickey.
Exactly.
Yeah, Jimmy and Mickey.
Exactly.
Yeah.
I love it.
It's good, right?
Yeah.
Very good. You know what else I love it. It's good, right? Yeah, very good.
You know what else I love, Mason?
What do you love?
So in other news, it was reported from Variety that Robert Pattinson is in the final negotiations for Batman.
And then another publication was like, hang on, also Nicholas Holt.
And then someone else was like, I heard Armie Hammer.
So.
Yes.
It's probably Robert Pattinson.
Robert Pattinson. Yes. What are we going to go with? Are we going to's probably Robert Pattinson. Robert Pattinson.
Yes.
What are we going to go with?
Are we going to go with Robert Battinson?
Yes.
Or are we going to go with Patman?
What about Robat Battons Bat?
Robat Battons Bat.
Okay, good.
All right.
Because I think the two that I suggested were probably more mainstream.
Yeah, you've added a third layer.
Yeah, we've added a third layer with Robat Battons Bat so we're gonna go with that that's his new that's robat bat and bat yeah
robat bat and bat so uh because you know bat bat fleck was a thing for a long time so we need
correct we need to settle into one if this is going to be if this is going to be rumors
and speculation for a long time we need a simple yeah nickname for robert something that just rolls off
this rolls off the tongue so we can when we refer to him we can use it as that that's right so it's
robert bat bat robert bat and bat okay cool because if you look at nicholas holt what do
you make that nicholas bat it could be anyone could be cage no but it's not it It's Nicholas Holt. Battlest Bat. That makes it clearer, doesn't it?
Yes, it does.
Nicholas Batman Holt.
Yeah, well, that's not bad either.
What do you think about...
Rob Pattinson?
I couldn't even think of the name we gave him.
Rob At Bat and Bat.
I think he's good.
Agreed.
Yeah.
You want some news on The Flash?
It's got a director maybe or in talks. It doesn't
though, does it?
I'll believe any of this when I see it.
Even when the trailer comes out
I'll be like, is it really or is this
test footage, you know? That's a good and valid
question, but Andy Muschietti, who's
I'm sorry, what? Andy Muschietti.
Is that spelt the way you'd expect
Muschietti? M-U-S, sorry,
M-U-C-H-E-T-T-I. Oh, right. So I guess it's Musch-etti, it could be. Muschietti? Yeah, it could be Muschietti. Is that spelt the way you'd expect a muschietti? Sorry, M-U-C-H-E-T-T-I.
Oh, right.
Not as good.
Much-etti, it could be.
Muschietti?
Yeah, it could be muschietti.
Where's my muschietti?
Here he is.
So we'll see, won't we, about this.
I can't believe I didn't bunch this together with the DC News.
I think that says to people that this is not a professional situation,
and I don't like that.
I don't like it comes to the podcast.
The podcast or DC generally is not a
professional i like to maintain a level slightly above the dc field slate and i think we maintain
it yeah that's i mean that's a low bar to pass but we've done it we usually do it most weeks i think
what we do is if if we on the way out of here we look at your justice league lanyard
yes and we and some most weeks we go we beat you yeah weanyard. Yes. And most weeks we go, we beat you.
Yeah, we got you.
Not this week.
Some weeks we just turn it around so they're not looking at us.
Ava DuVernay has confirmed that The Furies and Darkseid
will be in her new Gods movie.
Oh.
Yeah.
Also, I'm so glad they didn't use Darkseid in Justice League.
Me too.
Because they could use him in this.
Yeah.
But do you think it would have improved that movie in any way?
No
A good movie that we both like
And it's a bad movie and no one likes it
No, I don't think it would have, no
Yeah, so there you go
That Snyder Cut's still happening
Is it real?
Well, Kevin Smith talked about it this week and said
It exists but it's not finished
So it's a lot of
Okay
You know, green screen plates and whatever
And people standing in front of a wind machine being like,
get the laser, get it focused on the whatever.
You know how movies end nowadays.
Yeah, for sure.
Is that how the Snyder Cut was going to end?
Yeah, probably.
The grim and gritty Snyder Cut was just going to be like,
focus the laser.
There's too many lasers coming out of the sky.
Focus the laser.
Sounds awful. You got a crystal. The crystal of the sky. Focus the laser. Sounds awful.
You got a crystal.
The crystal needs to be aligned with the laser.
Where'd this crystal come from?
Wasn't there a crystal?
Oh, it was a box.
It was a box.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Wait, no.
We've opened the box.
There's a crystal in it.
That's the twist.
You didn't know that.
It's in the Snyder Cut.
A box.
Ridiculous.
Crystal.
Perfect.
Perfect, yeah.
Oh, my dog's coughing.
No, she's okay.
No, she's doing great.
I mean, she did spend the last five minutes
just licking the floor.
Oh, that's bad.
Yeah.
Yeah, she's probably going to vomit.
Okay, great.
Yeah, she's doing it now.
Yeah, okay.
Good stuff.
Okay, then.
Mason, trailers ahoy.
Is that the name of our new segment?
Yep.
Mason, trailers ahoy. Okay. Pretty glorious our new segment yep mason trailers ahoy okay uh the first if
somebody could knock up a graphic that we can add to the mp4 version of this or a theme song
possibly yep that would be great um do we get a foghorn in there yeah yeah i think so and a
lighthouse and the theme to um what is it captainwash. We're thinking of the same nautical adventures.
Yes.
Oh, my God.
Trailers of Hoy Mason this week.
Big time every time.
We've got a new Joker trailer.
It's mostly the same, but is there anything from it that you went,
oh, my goodness, this guy's on the edge?
More than I thought.
No, but I'm very much enjoying there's a lot of Joker-based tweets.
Yes. I mean, maybe there are every week.
You're enjoying the reactions to the Venice Film Festival?
I found a parody one, which actually got picked up by the real Joker account.
Oh, I see.
Yeah.
You might have the same one in front of you.
I don't, but I know what it is.
Go for it.
This one is from Ben Meckler.
It says, crowd went absolutely ballistic for Hashtag Joker.
Film is dark, sick, twisted.
I'm with a crowd of fellow critics right now running through the streets of Veniceice just screaming hollering my legs are tired we've been doing this for hours
joaquin is an oscar contender follow-up tweet joker will change superhero cinema forever sure
to be controversial this film is a literal riot i just flipped a car with two of the guys from
indiewire a guardian reviewer fell down and we all kept running. I stepped on his hand, really impressed with
Todd Phillips.
And the last one is, a French guy in the crowd
shouted, I am Le Joker! And we
all started doing it. I grabbed an old Italian
lady by the shoulders and screamed it in
her face. We both cried and she
dropped her groceries. That's good.
I think there might be one more tweet in that.
Okay. And it's basically
just like, we've had some time to think about it.
It's okay.
This movie's okay.
Yeah, right.
This is my favourite tweet.
Okay.
It just says, sickest part of the Joker movie is when he go,
I hate Batman, and his wife go, who is that?
He isn't in this particular movie, which causes the Joker to go insane
in his mind, turning him into the Joker.
It's from DVS Blast on Twitter.
Anyway, we'll see you in a month, won't we?
Anyway, I don't know.
Maybe it'll be good.
Yeah, well, I think also even if it is really good,
I think sometimes people take the wrong messages from these things.
We'll see, won't we?
Oh, we sure will.
I know you have thoughts on this, Mason,
because you're a big fan of this franchise.
Here we blow.
Harbinger. You know that movie? Oh, the V're a big fan of this franchise. Harbinger.
You know that movie?
Oh, the Valiant comics.
Okay, sure.
That's right.
That movie has left Sony for Paramount,
complicating the Valiant universe which Sony was creating,
starting with Bloodshot starring Vin Diesel.
I like the Valiant universe from what I know of it.
When are they doing a Turok?
Do I have to read one rock to understand Turok?
Oh, yeah.
Thank you, Mason.
He's back.
That's right, folks.
He was gone for a long time.
We all worried about it.
Everybody sent me DMs and emails.
Has James lost it?
Is he gone for good?
It's been weeks and months.
Some people say since I got married.
Like I've lost my edge.
That's right.
It's true.
Because you're always wondering what the missus is thinking about what you say on this podcast.
You used to say some real edgy stuff, but now you're like,
hmm, I'm firmly on the fence now all the time.
Hmm, that's what you said.
But I'm just here to say he's back.
It's good to be back.
Because Turok, like two.
Like two.
Like T-O-O.
What you did is you imagined Turok was in fact a sequel
to a movie called One Rock.
It's a comic.
Thanks, Mason.
No problem.
Anyway, I'm just going to pull this string
and all the confetti is going to fall from the studio.
How did I not notice that?
That's right.
I think they were releasing a Turok on the Switch or something.
Okay.
Or something.
Okay, all right.
But they are releasing Jedi Outcast on the Switch,
which I'm super excited for.
Wouldn't it be kind of tricky for me to understand the controls of Turok
if I haven't played the first Turok?
That's a really good question.
Isn't it, though?
I'll let you know, obviously.
He's back, everybody!
We're both of us back!
Some people said I wouldn't be back, but I am back.
You sent me a bunch of emails.
People are independently sending us emails
asking if the other person's okay yeah anyway uh so this might not be a shared universe or
they'll share it like sony does sometimes yeah the spider-man or whatever uh i forgot to ask
if you've seen this but i'm sure somebody sent it to you mackenzie mustache has happened it's
taken five years on on the tv series gotham's right. And a groundswell campaign started on this very podcast to get Jim Gordon in a mustache.
Exactly.
We did it.
Then nothing happened for five years.
And then he's done it.
So I'd like to thank the listeners for harassing him specifically, a man who has no production control on that show.
He asked about it and they said, no, you'd look ridiculous in it.
Terrific.
Oh, thanks to everybody who...
What's up, bud?
What's up?
That's a big sandwich.
You want a big sandwich?
All right, guys, I'm just going to go get a big sandwich for my son.
I'll be back.
Guys, we're back.
I made a big sandwich.
Cool.
Are you going to bring in the big sandwich for me now?
No, it's not for you, Mason.
You don't get a big sandwich.
What? For my son. He only gets the big sandwiches in this house. Wow. Do you bring in the big sandwich for me now no it's not for you mason you don't get a big sandwich what's for my son he only gets the big sandwiches in this house
wow do you get also get a big sandwich i don't get big sandwiches no you ain't leftover sandwiches
over the sink that's exactly what i do yeah i'll eat whatever he doesn't need of that big sandwich
which will be all of it he's gonna eat all of the sandwich probably will yeah uh that's probably
gonna happen a few times in this episode. I hope people don't mind.
What do you want?
Another big sandwich?
Please?
Alright. Excuse me, everybody.
I have to go make another big sandwich.
You know what they say.
If you're going to make one big sandwich, better make two big sandwiches. Is that like
digging two graves? It's like digging two graves, exactly.
Oh, you're back with my big sandwich. No, no mason again you don't get a big sandwich wow there's only one person in
this house that gets a big sandwich all right all right it's the kid all right fine so a few bits
of swamp thing news yeah my first one one it's cancelled probably well they ceased production
early okay they went a few episodes short. They were like, we nailed this.
We nailed this in three.
So don't even worry about it. Two and a half.
Yeah.
The people involved in it were surprised.
Swamp Thing, he was surprised.
He was like, what?
I want another big sandwich.
Another big sandwich.
He's going to eat me out of big sandwiches, mate.
How many big sandwiches can this kid put away?
All right, guys.
Look, I don't want to, I mean, live your life, but, I mean, if you eat too many of big sandwiches how many big sandwiches can this kid put away all right guys look i don't wanna i mean live your life but i mean if you eat too many bloody big sandwiches i reckon you're gonna turn into a bloody big so he's already left the room he's gone he's already
waiting on the couch for his big sandwich i'll be back all right we're back all right third time's
a charm bring you a big sandwich either this time i guess third time isn't a channel
where are we at? Swab thing.
All I can think about is big sandwiches.
Maybe they shut down production
of their show that people like
because no one brought them
a big sandwich. Possible.
It's entirely possible. Yep.
It's probably budgetary because they're going to have a big
gloopy monster. Is that the issue here?
Are you having budgetary problems? Couldn't get me a big
sandwich?
And make very well be. Are you ready to go, Mason?
Yes, or? Or are you feeling slow?
I asked you that before the show, and I thought
what a great bit. Why waste it
when you could include it as content?
All our conversations are
content now. Everything
we contemplate saying to each other in person
we're like, should we say, should we
have some interpersonal interaction?
Or should we save it for the show?
There's a lot of half-finished sentences and thoughts and feelings.
There's a lot of one of us opening their mouth and like holding their finger up as if to
make a point.
And then the other person's like, gives the expression of like, the show though?
The show though?
The show though.
And then it's in the show.
Then it's in the show.
And that one, perfect.
But definitely do not leave that on the cutting room floor. Put it in the show. Then it's in the show. And that one, perfect.
Definitely do not leave that on the cutting room floor.
Put it in the show.
You didn't answer my question.
Are you feeling slow or are you ready to go?
I can be both.
You can be both.
Actually, that's not true.
I had an espresso and I had a Coke before I got here, so I am flying.
Oh, good.
Well, that should wear off about 40 minutes. That's all I've had.
Really, for today.
That's all you've eaten?
That's all I've had today, yeah.
This is going to be very interesting.
Isn't it, though?
So Swamp Thing is cancelled.
Immediately.
They had one episode out.
Yeah.
People were wondering whether they were going to finish the series.
They are.
They're going to do all 10.
But then, as we know, it was 13, and then they cut it short.
But I just saw this just before the show, and thank God I looked it up, because the
DC Reddit moderator, Applejack, he's got some information.
Named after my favourite American cereal.
Do you have it with milk or do you just eat it dry?
I've done both.
Yeah, that's right.
You're a wild man.
Going slow?
Or the other thing, you can eat it whatever way you want.
Well, there's a lot of high fructose corn syrup in it,
so I'm ready to go.
That's most cereals though, isn't it, Mason?
That's why you've got to make your own muesli.
But even I have given up on that.
What? I'm eating eggs, mate. make your own muesli. But even I have given up on that. What?
I'm eating eggs, mate.
I'm eating eggs every day.
Wow.
If you keep eating eggs, and this is a warning,
you're going to turn into an egg.
Nah, mate.
Wow.
All right.
I just don't think I will.
Okay, good.
What are we talking about?
Oh, yeah, the Reddit.
Reddit.
In relation to Swamp Thing,
we appreciate there are questions as to why, but unfortunately we are not in position to answer at this time so he's got
nothing yes thanks apple jack we've got a lot of exciting plans for our shows for a minute i was
wondering like which is my favorite apple jack the delicious cereal or this dude it's still the
cereal actually i'm like maybe i'll have a new favorite apple jack i don't thanks for nothing
jerk more like apple jerk got him sorry that's the espresso talking but you made it also i I'm like, maybe I'll have a new favourite Applejack. I don't. Thanks for nothing, jerk. More like Applejerk. Got him.
Sorry, that's the espresso talking.
But you made it also.
I made it, yeah.
I will not regret this later.
We got a lot of exciting flicks.
My Crapplejack got him again.
This is good.
Crapplejerk.
Too far?
No, that's good.
Okay.
I think that's as far as it could go.
Yeah, I think so, yeah.
Yeah.
So these are all good things.
I agree.
Apparently the current cut of Endgame is three hours.
Okay.
They were talking about an intermission.
Yes.
I love an intermission.
Do you?
It would hearken back, Mason, for me personally,
when I first saw the first Iron Man in Rome,
when I could travel, when I wasn't saddled with rocks.
With family.
Yeah, with rocks and family.
Family, the rocks of the relationship.
With rocks and metaphorical rocks.
Yeah.
And then we went back in and finished it.
Is there a little warning chime?
Like there are two minute warning or something like that when you're supposed to go back?
Okay.
They shouted some things in Italian.
Hey.
Hey, come and get a pizza, they said.
Prego.
Yeah, but I was too poor to get a pizza, Mason.
I couldn't get one.
Though you love a pizza in a cinema, don't you?
Yes. Because you're a pizza, Mason. I couldn't get one. Though you love a pizza in a cinema, don't you? Yes.
Because you're a monster.
Yes.
Yes.
Oh, imagine, I've just had a thought.
What if one day I'm rich enough that I can just get pizza for everybody in the cinema?
Just one of the cinema employees comes in with like 30 pizzas stacked.
30 tiny little stacked up pizzas.
So everyone gets a slice each?
Nobody gets a pizza.
I'm assuming. Okay, how big is this theater? I'm going on a weekday. There everyone gets a slice each? Nobody gets a pizza. I'm assuming.
Okay, how big is this theater?
I'm going on a weekday.
There's not that many people there.
Okay.
Yeah.
So how much are those pizzas?
A lot.
How much are they?
14 bucks?
I don't think that.
Yeah, I think something like 15 or something like that.
Okay, let's say 14.
Okay.
That's going to cost you $420.
You could do that now.
I could do that now, I guess.
I mean, you should because it's $420.
It's $420 for people I don't know.
What am I going to
what am I going to
appear in the local paper
who cares
I wouldn't eat
a pizza that's
a stranger bought me
really
no way
it's not like I'm bringing them in
somebody else is bringing them in
no I know I get it
but I still don't want to
I just think it's a funny visual
he'd become
he'd have 30 very narrow
little pizzas
in a stack
because then afterwards
because you
or she
or she
would be like this local hero would expect
people to come up and go, thanks, man.
You didn't have to do that or whatever.
I'd be like, fuck off.
I don't want your pizza.
Wow.
That's very presumptuous of you to think I'm going to eat a pizza.
Oh, I'm gluten free.
You said kill me.
Why don't you try to murder me with pizza?
Yeah.
I reject your gesture.
So if you do do it, get 29 pizzas.
Okay.
Yeah. You're going to be laughing on the other side of your face when you have a pizza. I wish I had a pizza. So if you do do it, get 29 pizzas. Okay. Yeah.
You're going to be laughing on the other side of your face when you have a pizza.
I wish I had a pizza.
Cinema pizza.
Get out of here.
They just reheat them.
No, they don't.
They make them fresh.
Make them fresh.
The base is already done.
Well, that's true.
Get out of here.
Yeah.
So intermission or none?
I mean, they're not doing it, but what would you prefer?
Don't want that.
I don't want the reality of the movie broken in the final film of this
I don't want to be like
halfway through
the ultimate
realisation of
10 years worth of
11
11 years worth of movie making
and just be like
hey what do you reckon
is going to happen?
I don't care
I don't want your theories
for the last half
just let it play
James
come on mate
apparently I could really do with a pizza.
Well, you made your choice, didn't you?
We've got 29 pizzas and they're all gone.
Taika Waititi apparently has pitched Thor 4.
Do you think they're just going to call it 4?
Thor.
Thor.
Thor.
Do you think you'll break the Thor-thwall?
You'll break the Thor-thwall, yeah.
Hello, audience. It's me, Thor.
I thought you were exhausted from making big sandwiches,
but you've still brought your ego.
No, Mason, I've still got it.
They've got me secretly eating big sandwiches inside.
Oh, my God.
So I'm the only one in this house who hasn't had a big sandwich today.
End game, Mason.
It is breaking every record imaginable.
Apparently, by the time this goes out
It would have crossed two billion
It'll probably catch Avatar
Because then it only needs a measly seven hundred million
Million dollars
Yeah, maybe
Or maybe not
Alright, cool
Do you think it's going to beat Avatar at this point?
Or do you care?
Two things
I don't care
You love juggernaut franchises
You love billion-dollar industries.
You know I do.
I love the big companies swallowing up the small companies,
and then all of a sudden we've got two big companies.
And then we've got one big company.
We've got one big company.
And it's just called Disney Entertainment Machine.
They can call it whatever they want.
They can call it Blurk Fart.
And it doesn't matter because they own everything.
That's true, yeah.
Do you think they're going to change it to that?
Maybe.
Yeah.
I mean, if the-
You'd subscribe to Blurk Fart Plus?
I mean, if that's literally my only entertainment option,
and it soon will be.
And all it takes is a CEO who's arrogant enough to be like,
what are they going to do?
Not subscribe to Blurk Fart Plus?
You're right.
You're absolutely right.
Anyway, my point, I think, is I don't care.
I've seen it and I enjoyed it.
It doesn't matter if it beats somebody's record.
What difference does it make?
But anyway, we've got more news, Mason.
I'm ready.
Trailers ahoy this week.
Should I find a trailers ahoy?
Some theme music?
Could it be the Captain Pugwash theme music?
No, people sent in.
I don't want big Pugwash coming after us, Mason.
You think that's not a powerful organisation?
All right, well, while you're searching on your phone.
Look, the only thing better than a trailer theme being played out of my phone
is a trailer theme being played out of my phone halfway through the segment.
This is from Fair Fuse.
Hang on.
Here we go.
This is Mason Trailers Ahoy.
This is on YouTube.
I don't know what it is.
Mason Trailers Ahoy. I just said that. Hang on. Here we go. This is Mason Trailers Ahoy. This is on YouTube. I don't know what it is. Mason Trailers Ahoy.
I just said that. I know. It's crazy.
How did he make that so quickly?
It's insane. Yeah. That's a little
less than I was expecting. It's also not a theme.
I thought you were going to go for a foghorn,
which you could have just done. I could have
said Trailers Ahoy and you could have played the foghorn.
But people were kind enough to make. And now that guy's going to come
after us for using his material it's gonna take the whole podcast
taken out well look we'll do a trailer and then i'll do the second one that's here okay well we
got twice as long fyi excellent two foghorns maybe so spider-man far it's the third or so trailer but
what this one does and spoilers for end game do you think we're gonna get a stark cameo right
because he still enjoys being this character uh--huh. Which is fair. He seems
like he's been having fun for 11
years. Yeah, right. Which is why I think
And getting paid. And getting paid. I saw a video
on YouTube a couple
of days ago from Architectural Digest.
YouTube.com? Yeah, YouTube.com.
And it was a tour around his windmill house.
So I think he's just enjoying buying houses.
Buying unusual houses.
Where's his windmill i don't
know is it a modern windmill house i'm thinking like maybe it's a lighthouse house it's a
lighthouse house i think actually i tell a lie i think i read that he did three days work on
homecoming yeah and he got paid five million dollars or something like that yeah right three
days wow that's pretty good man you buy a lot of lighthouse houses with that i bet he bought a
couple at least bought a couple of lighthouse houses.
Is it a modern lighthouse?
Or is it one of the old ones where you've got to change the globe every six months or whatever?
Because the new ones...
I don't think there's any...
I don't think in purchasing the lighthouse house, he has to maintain the job of being the lighthouse keeper.
That's ridiculous.
Well, then what are you buying it for?
Because clearly somebody put it there for a reason.
Yeah.
They just use tweets now.
You just... Stay away from the rocks. Yeah, that's what it just just use tweets now. Stay away from the rocks.
Yeah, that's what it just says.
Hashtag stay away from the rocks.
It just says at.
You're a ship's captain and you just have to look at your notifications every once in a while.
And it just says at USS American Spirits, stay away from the rocks.
And you're like, whoa, I'm too close to the rocks.
Hard to port.
Hard to port. So next up, though, it's Trailers of Hoymason. Okay, here we go. too close to the rocks. Hard to port. Hard to port.
So next up, though, it's Trailers Ahoy, Mason.
Okay, here we go.
Here's a Trailers Ahoy.
Okay, here we go.
If this is Trailers Ahoy and then two foghorns,
I'm going to leave legitimately.
All right.
And I'm going to come back
and I'm going to give you the Hawkeye haircut.
Mason Trailers Ahoy.
Mason Trailers Ahoy.
Ahoy.
Mason Trailers Ahoy.
Ahoy.
Mason Trailers Ahoy. Ahoy. Mason Trailers Ahoy, Mason Trailer. Ahoy, Ahoy, Mason Trailer.
Ahoy, Mason Trailer.
Ahoy.
There we go.
That's some good stuff.
That might be the official Trailer's Ahoy theme now.
That's from Mime With A Mouth on YouTube, so thank you for that.
Not to discount the previous Trailer's Ahoy theme.
But that one was better.
Okay, big, big, big Spider-Man news.
Ooh. This is huge. Oh, actually actually i know this one all right collider have said that the morbius scribes matt uh suzama and burke sharpless are writing the
madam webb movie oh i see what you've done i see what you've done here you're gonna thank me no
you said you'd thank me and thank me again. Not for this. Not for this garbage.
Not for this bloody second-rate pullback and reveal.
No, sir.
No, sir.
So what do you think about this multiverse thing?
Because that's what Madam Web is.
She sits in a web and goes, I see everything.
There's so many Spider-Men.
I'm a blind lady.
I'm psychic.
I don't care about this.
Anyway, I wonder if it ties into this, though, the real news of the week.
Here we go.
Does he have a double?
Does he have a double pullback in real?
Because if he doesn't, this is very disappointing for me, the co-host, and you, the listener.
Because you were looking for, like, a better joke.
In a way, yes.
Well, you're not getting one.
Here it comes, though, because he zigged and we're expecting him to zag.
So here we go.
Here's another joke one.
This is going to be great.
There's a new trailer for Star Wars Fallen Order.
Oh, my God, he's done it again.
Not only did he zig when we expected him to zag,
he zigged to an entirely different franchise.
Yeah, that's right.
Wow, this guy's good i'm one of
the best yeah anyway spider-man's back in the mcu so i guess we're talking about spider-man again
we'll do one more week okay it's about the sony deal so apparently uh bob eiger your dad has said
that uh tom holland was instrumental in making the deal happen i think this is bullshit i think
this is just like you know who the real hero is?
Tom Holland and the fans.
Yeah, that's right, the fans there, yeah.
Tom Holland collected letters and kisses from all the fans
and he brought them to Sony and he was like,
please, sir, please.
I'll go on.
It's all I have.
I can't go back to the chimney sweeping.
He had his little cap in his hand.
It's just in his chest like, go on.
He's developed a cough.
Yeah, he's got the consumption.
But in other news, and this came out while I was in New Zealand, Mason,
Into the Spider-Verse 2 has been announced for April of 2022.
A number of logos were flashed up to be like,
which there's a new Spider-Man coming,
confirmed is that of Japanese Spider-Man.
Do you know what the deal is with the rights to that?
No idea.
Should we look it up?
Let's look up Japanese Spider-Man.
Japanese Spider-Crab?
Yeah, that's right.
Japanese Spider-Crab size.
Okay, here we go.
All right, the Japanese Spider-Crab has the greatest leg span of any arthropod.
Is that true?
Reaching up to 5.5 meters.
What?
From claw to claw.
Look at it.
Terrifying.
It's too big.
Probably delicious, though.
Yes.
Oh, it looks delicious.
Imagine putting some garlic butter on that.
Yum, yum, yum.
Or still alive.
I'm eating it while it's still alive.
Yeah, of course you are.
You've got to fight it.
Yeah.
I'm not good at sword fighting, but I'm great at Japanese crab fighting.
So there you go.
Did you know that the Japanese crab will eat just about anything,
including corpses?
Well, yeah.
When it says anything, let me know if people say, like,
goats eat tin cans.
I don't think they actually.
Like, would it eat a tin can?
This says.
Would it eat a spinning buzzsaw?
I'm reading some facts about Japanese spider crabs.
This one just says they don't only live in the deep sea.
So there could be one in your house right now and you don't know.
I don't give a shit, man.
I'll go you here.
As long as you're here, I'm safe.
It's true.
It is true.
I need you to stay over.
Okay.
Well, they can live for the rest of my life.
They can live for over a century.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
And I don't think I can.
So good luck.
Yeah.
But you can.
So you're in trouble.
Oh, no.
Yeah.
In other news, Marvel news, Ant-Man is getting a sequel.
Yeah.
The Rant-Man.
The Rant-Man.
Hello.
More sandwiches?
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Do you want a big sandwich?
Yeah.
Classic.
That's classic.
That's classic material.
But I would say at this point it's old rope.
You know what I mean?
No, don't.
I'm back from making that big sandwich.
Oh, my goodness.
Classic return.
No, he's doing this thing where we're running and I'm chasing him.
It just happened just then.
And he just constantly is just telling me how slow I am as I'm chasing him.
You could crush him in a foot race.
I could crush him, I feel.
See, you've reached that point.
And this is why I feel I couldn't be a parent is because I couldn't stoop
to debasing myself in such a manner.
You could destroy him in a foot race.
Well, I feel like the trick is to kind of not let him win every time
because then he'll get better, I feel like.
Oh, right.
But if you defeat him every time, he'll give up.
Exactly.
It's like you've got to find that fine line.
Yeah, right.
But what if one day you're like, I'm going to show this kid what's what
and then you really kick off and then he just destroys you.
It'll definitely happen.
Yeah, wow.
Do you think soon?
Oh, yeah, definitely.
He's pretty fast.
Right.
Yeah.
One day he's just going to come in here and he's going to be like,
thing to put on a T-shirt?
Saying that we'll get put on a T-shirt?
Merchandisable quote, Dad?
What do you think about that?
And you'd be like, oh, finally.
Great stuff.
He is my son.
Finally.
Hark, James.
What do I hear in the distance?
Woo.
Or.
Ah.
That's right.
We do both.
It's Comic-Con.
Here at the Weekly Blast.
It's Comic-Con week.
We were there in the trenches.
We flew over to San Francisco.
Yep.
Yep.
To watch it on our phones.
San Diego.
We know it's in San Diego.
We were there. No, we weren't. No, we weren't. We weren't there. No, we weren't. We, to watch it on our phones. San Giropero. We know it's in San Diego. We were there.
No, we weren't.
No, we weren't.
We weren't there.
No, we were not.
We did the Twitter feed like everybody else
because a lot of these aren't live streamed.
Most of them aren't live streamed, in fact.
You can only see the footage afterwards
and a lot of the footage they played.
Sometimes if you're in there, you can't even see the footage.
It's because there's some idiot standing up in front of you going,
Woo!
Next up is WandaVision.
LongDivision Division Still keeping that name
What would you prefer?
Long Division?
Doing some Long Division?
Is this a good joke?
Wait for it
Or the TV series
Yes
WandaVision
I mean it is a good joke
I mean we've done it
Every single time
This has come up
Thank you
So now it's a running joke?
We know jokes
We know jokes We know jokes.
We know jokes. We know jokes.
We've seen a joke or two in the wild.
Next up, we've got Doctor Strange and the Multiverse Madness.
I love the name.
It's the second best name of this series.
Besides WandaVision?
No.
The Thor.
I like the Thor.
Oh, yeah, right, right.
So that's May 2021.
Scott Derrickson is directing what is said to be the scariest Marvel movie.
I mean, we all saw Iron Man 2.
God, I might know jokes.
Yeah, you know jokes.
Yeah.
Yes.
Scary for Doctor Strange.
What does that mean to a Doctor Strange?
Because he's been trapped in time forever and he disintegrated.
That's true, yeah.
So what does that mean?
Yeah.
What if his cape turned on him, just choked him out? Yep. Just wrapped around his head. That's true, yeah. Yeah, yeah, if his cape turned on him just choked him out
yep just wrapped around his head that's true yeah yeah yeah just cut off his windpipe
yeah killed him it'll be yeah i would be afraid of that cape what if you if you made it mad maybe
yeah yeah that's true because you don't even know what a cape likes what is it do you want
what is it though yeah i mean is it a man trapped in a cape i don don't think it is. Do you have to spend time with a cape?
Yeah.
If you were like, I'm going to watch some TV and you sat down,
would you be like, should I invite the cape to watch TV?
Because if I don't, maybe they'll smother me in my sleep.
Does the cape want to watch the cape?
Oh, yeah, that's right.
Yeah, maybe.
Does it want to watch Project Runway?
Good question.
Does it only want to watch clothing-based shows?
We don't know.
Or does it not want to watch that?
Like maybe you're like, you'll like this, won't you?
And it can't communicate.
And then it smothers you in your sleep because it's like, I'm sick of this.
You know?
But I think it would also probably take the remote from you.
Yeah, slap it out of your hands or whatever.
Yeah, absolutely.
It's interesting questions about the cape.
Do you think we'll get any cape answers?
No.
No.
It's just a cape?
Yeah, it's just a sidekick.
Yeah.
What's the cape up to?
Yeah, exactly. That's what needs a sitcom. Yes. It's just a cape? Yeah, it's just his sidekick. Yeah. What's the cape up to?
Exactly.
That's what needs a sitcom.
Yes.
The cape.
The cape, yeah.
Big stuff, though.
The big news, I would say.
The big reveals.
Here we go.
Ms. Marvel will be a TV series. That character is also going to make her way into the movies.
And they should definitely work in Brie Larson's Captain Marvel into this.
I think so, too.
100%.
And, yeah, it might be a similar accident that produced Captain Marvel.
Except instead of laser blasts, it's stretchy arms.
Imaginary stretchy arms.
What would you do with that?
Probably get stuff out of the fridge when I'm in a different room.
I'd punch my neighbours.
They wouldn't even know I'm doing it.
Yeah, nice.
But it would be me.
And you'd punch him and then he'd be like,
you punched me and you'd be like, I'm way over here, man.
I would never punch you.
Yeah.
And he'd be like, I saw you do it. And you'd be like, I'm way over here, man. I would never punch you. Yeah. And he'd be like, I saw you do it.
And you'd be like, oh.
I did, but.
Yeah.
What are you going to do?
You can't get me.
I'll do that thing where I put my hand on your forehead and just step back.
I could drown you in a lake from here.
I don't live near a lake, but I could do it.
That's right.
So next up we have Moon Knight.
Yes.
There's been a lot of call for Moon Knight.
Yeah.
Forever and a day.
You think we'll get that?
I love that.
Do you want to explain that, please?
No, you go ahead.
Okay, so it's Moon Knight.
He's going into Dracula's castle and he says,
I know you're here, Dracula, you big fucking nerd.
Where's my goddamn money?
Now, here's the deal.
If you open the series with that,
like if you only get one an episode.
And they're doing Blade, so they're doing vampires, aren't they?
If you open with that, I think everybody would be hooked.
Yeah, we're doing Caravan of Garbage on that comic, by the way.
I think if people are like, I have no, who's Moon Knight?
I don't care about Moon Knight.
And then you switch it on and it was that.
Like, no, just cold open that.
He's entering Dracula's car, like surprise Dracula's in this.
I think people will be like, I'm on board.
I don't care how many episodes it is.
I'm going to watch the whole thing.
Isn't it in that comic also he thinks that Dracula works for the Avengers
and he calls like Spider-Man?
Yeah, maybe.
He's like, give me my money.
And they're like, Dracula doesn't work here.
He's a fucking idiot.
We're doing that for Caravan of Garbage.
Yeah, that's cool.
So Moon Knight, interesting.
The kid is approaching.
I can hear him.
He's coming in hot and fast.
Hello.
What's up?
Small sandwich.
Do you want a big sandwich or a small sandwich?
I want a big one.
Classic.
That is classic.
He knows what he's doing.
Some classic work.
I'm going to catch you, though, this time.
I think you should catch him and prove.
I don't teach him a lesson.
Yeah, I think you should.
He's pretty fast, but I didn't catch him.
How are you making a sandwich in that amount of time?
It's just a it's very limited.
It's just like-
Don't tell people what's in the sandwich.
Very quick, fold it over.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I got everything already out
because I'd already been making him some big sandwiches.
I understand.
He's hungry.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's getting faster.
I was going to say.
Yeah.
Constant hunger for sandwiches.
Dark Phoenix has a trailer.
I think it's time for a new Professor X impression,
and this is going to be the line.
Are you ready?
You know what it is probably.
Okay, so we'll say it without any...
I'm not going to say it.
I'm going to play it.
Okay, cool.
Then we'll do our impressions.
Okay.
Tell me how we fixed this, Charles.
Tell me what to do.
I don't know what to do.
That's good.
I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. That's good. I don't know what to do.
I don't know what to do.
It's good.
He's a very good actor, but that is...
Yeah.
Oh, boy.
Tell me what to do.
I don't know what to do.
I don't know what to do.
It's very Patrick Stewart-esque, I guess, isn't it?
Anyway, I don't know what to do, Mason.
I don't know what to do either. Should we watch this movie? I don't know what to do i don't know what to do either should we watch
this movie i don't know what to do why would you just make x-men 3 again i don't know what are you
doing it's the phoenix saga yeah it's not went for years yeah i think it maybe went four years
it went four years so just yeah let's compact that into two hours i know they had to make one
because they could only make because it it was all... But come on.
Yeah, right.
Just look back at the movie you'd made.
Yeah.
Look at that one.
Yep.
And then don't do it.
Do a different one.
Do anything.
Here we go.
This is exciting news.
You're going to love this, Mason.
I'm ready.
X-Men Dark Phoenix has undergone some changes.
Oh, I know what this is.
Can I guess what this is?
Please do.
So, as I understand it, during reshoots,
they changed the final action sequence in the third act
from outer space to a train.
Correct.
Yes.
Incredible work.
So here we go.
Who wants to be out in space when you can be looking at a train,
a thing I see every day?
That's a Croydon station.
It finds all the X-Men kidnapped and on board a military train. Well, it's a military train, isn't it? That's at Croydon Station. Finds all the X-Men
kidnapped and on board
a military train.
Well it's a military
train isn't it?
That's pretty good.
I've never seen one of
those I guess.
Except in any of the
previous X-Men movies.
Sure.
Of which it's in all of
them I think.
It's the one train.
At least it's not in a
forest.
I want to see the story
of that guy.
The guy driving the
train.
Absolutely.
But also like this
would happen at least
probably once a week to
him.
He'd be on the train and then
it's the other head that somebody step out onto the tracks and he's like oh for fuck's sake exactly
the train's gonna flip isn't it that's right he just puts his seat belt on yeah that's right
the only question he has every time is the train gonna go into the person and just crumple
or is the person gonna lift the the train with their mind powers?
Either way, he's not.
Is the person on the tracks going to open a portal
and then the train ends up in the snow?
Yeah.
What's going to happen this time, you know?
He's got two manuals next to him by his seat.
He's got the train operation manual, which is like an inch thick.
And then he's got what happens if a mutant steps in front of your train manual,
which is like six inches thick. He's like, okay. He's flipping through. He's like, And then he's got, what happens if a mutant steps in front of your train manual, which is like six inches thick.
He's like, okay.
He's flipping through.
He's like, okay, he's got scales.
All right, here we go.
He could be a sticky man.
He could stick to the side.
That's okay.
That's all right.
I'll do another one.
There's a series of numbers, phone numbers to call on the side.
You just leap out.
Yeah, you would.
Just leap out.
Oh, I've got more of these news
I forgot
Oh okay

Dune casting.
Zendaya is Chani.
Dune.
Who's Baron Harkonnen?
Zach Chancery.
Have you made that up?
Yes.
I think it's the name of somebody from a Michelin web skit.
Probably.
Most of my Dune-related knowledge is based not on the books or the movie,
but on the real-time strategy game that came out.
Oh, yeah, you were a fan of that, weren't you?
Yeah, Dune 2.
Dune 2.
The Battle for Arrakis.
So you're Dune 2?
Yeah, I'm Dune 2.
Is it Dune or June?
This is our worst running joke.
I shouldn't say we, it's mine. You shouldn't worst running joke. I shouldn't say we, it's mine.
You shouldn't say running joke.
Giant worms.
Giant worms.
Stings in it.
Exactly.
Remember he had the giant lady look great?
I haven't seen it.
I've only seen bits of you.
No, but I'm saying he was great with the giant lady.
Yeah.
Imagine a giant worm.
I can and I will. Good. And I'll see it. Doesn't matter Dune. No, but I'm saying he was great with the giant lady. Imagine a giant worm. I can and I will.
Good.
And I'll see it.
Doesn't matter, mate.
Okay, right.
What does matter, though, is Jason Momomoa is playing Duncan Idaho in Dune, the reboot,
which is going to be, I think, like October or November of next year.
It's got a release date.
Is it Dune or June?
Oh, we're in our famous segment.
Is it Dune or June? what do you think it is if i were to not think
about it but i can't because i'm now i'm thinking about it hey let's get in my june buggy yeah do
you buggy june buggy it's one of those words that i never say in real life i guess if we lived near
some sand dunes i'd have to think about it i don't want that what i would do is i would go to the
locals yeah and i would say hey surfer guy, is it Dune
or you live here?
Is it Dune or Dune?
And then they'd beat me up.
Yes.
Because I'm not a local.
You know?
Yeah.
Okay.
Let's do that.
Okay.
So Dune 2, we talk about this every time it comes up.
Is it Dune or Dune?
But we've talked about this, but when they released it in cinemas, there was like a booklet
that you would read beforehand
that would explain the different tribes and the map of the universe.
Like that's what you want going into a movie.
Absolute homework.
Though I think I would prefer that to when movies open
and like it's the year 5054.
There was a big explosion and now it's called the after time
and the ravages and the scavengers, they're different tribes.
Do you know what i'm talking
about oh if somebody could put that into some dramatic music oh now i want to see now we should
we gotta we gotta let's pause this and we're gonna we're gonna map out what the ravages and
the scavengers are all about the different tribes and what are they going to do? Are they going to fight?
They need to be united.
They said they'd be united by the Chosen One.
The merging of two worlds.
Everyone's got a hologram ship as well or something. Now they've got to collect the mystical orb.
And they will unite the...
Everybody's got to touch the orb.
But it's a metaphor for love, I think.
You know?
I'm sick of it, is what I'm saying.
Yeah, I get it.
When a movie opens like that, it's immediate. It like boo yeah boo more news okay this is all news all the time rami malek
is in talk to play the villain in bond 25 oh a man so little that daniel craig could break him
in half absolutely okay what about this? Bond villains. Yes.
What henchmen do you do?
Where do you go? Oh, do you think this is going to be a remake henchman
or do you think it's a new henchman?
No, what's the gimmick do you do?
Oh, okay, let me think.
We've had steel thumbnails.
We've had a man with jaws.
Yes.
We've had a moon raker.
Yep.
There was a short man in a suitcase.
Ankle flamethrowers.
That's good. But I feel like anybody could do that. Right. You know what I mean in a suitcase. Ankle flamethrowers. That's good, but I feel
like anybody could do that. Right.
You know what I mean? Oh yeah, no, I get it. You don't need to have a particular
thing about you. Yeah, okay. Maybe
you don't have feet, and they've been
replaced by flamethrowers. But that was the lady from
Kingsman. Oh yeah, she didn't have feet either.
She didn't have feet either. That's a good one.
Yeah, it's a really good one.
We had a man with diamonds
in his face. Yeah, What was his power again?
He had a diamond face.
He glistened in the sun.
That's right.
Okay.
All right.
It's tough though, isn't it?
Stone hands.
Well, that's shatter hand.
That's supposedly what this one's called.
What about a man with a very broken hand?
That's right.
He distracts you with it.
See, that's the thing.
Help.
Here's the twist. Okay. Here's the thing. Here's the twist.
Okay, here's the twist.
Here's the twist.
Okay, so we think it's Rami Malek is the little genius man.
Yeah.
And then we have this enormous, like, Dave Bautista style, like, brute character.
Great.
But he's Shatterhand.
Yes.
And one of his hands is broken.
He's like, oh, ah, can you just, ooh, ah.
And then Rami Malek sneaks up behind Bond and ducks down
and then Shatterhand just pushes him over.
With his good hand.
With his good hand, he pushes him over.
Or maybe he goes to push him over with his Shatterhand.
He's like, ooh.
Yeah, that's right.
I should get that.
Yeah.
I should get that.
And then Rami Malek's like, oh, Shatterhand, you've done it again.
But he won't let him fix his Shatterhand.
That's why he's working for him.
Because it's a cool name.
Yeah, but also, like, if you work for me for six months,
then I'll fix your shatter hand.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know what I mean?
He's doing it for the shattered hand.
Oh, come on.
Bond must have shattered his hand, right?
Maybe not.
No, I reckon maybe M shattered his hand many years ago
and he's back for revenge against all of MI6.
Yeah.
Shattered hand.
Guys, you did this to me.
Ooh.
Ah.
One of the newest trailers for John Wick 3.
Jonathan Wick.
Perineum.
That's right.
We'll never say the correct name.
Never, ever.
Why would we?
Mm-hmm.
John Wick's not real.
He can't get us.
That's right.
So we can say whatever we want.
Exactly.
We have a dog, too.
Yeah, we got a dog.
He can't get too mad at us. My dog would be torn in half by john wick's dog it would be such a short fight okay
i've written here is this anything right okay dog wick it's a spin-off yes it's just the dog
and he goes through the animal underworld it's called dog wick dog wick i like it
dog wick dog wick i like it uh or john dog that's okay dog dog it's called dog dog john wick but it's his dog what about that okay so so wait is he okay so i i like the idea yeah a lot i like
the idea a lot is he a dog with guns or is he just a dog attacking other dogs because that's
real that's real gross that's different isn't it yeah that's a
difference see i don't want a cats and dog situation yeah where they're all you know it's
all cgi cats doing cartwheels or whatever how about this though how about john wick takes his
dog to the dog park yep and he has to and john wick then has to go and do like get a hot dog
or something at the hot dog cart and then in the meantime john wick's dog sees some sort of dog
related injustice yeah relating to the other dogs yeah but it's not like they're not they don't talk
or anything okay this is a silent film okay this is gonna be like a warner brother short at the
at the front of john wick four yeah it's called dog wick or john dog or dog dog dog dog but then
he so then it's sort of like he has to like there's no there's no overt
violence okay except at the end when he tears another dog's throat out but he sees another dog
bullying he sees one dog bullying all the other dogs yeah he's like well this will not stand
because i'm john wick's dog dog wick john dog dog dog great anyway dog wick i'm on board with dog
so i reckon eventually like the bully dog is to end up pushed into a pond or something like that.
Okay, cool.
Yeah.
Just some lighthearted fun.
Yeah.
Okay, gotcha.
And he's maybe a poodle, so all his hair goes all weird.
And his owner's like, come on, you're in trouble now.
Yeah.
That's his comeuppance.
His owner, like, says you're a bad dog, which is the worst thing you can be as a dog.
That's the worst thing you can be, yeah.
Got to keep it upbeat, Mason,
because we're going to fuck this country into the dirt.
Oh, no.
So we just got to keep it going.
No, definitely not.
Okay, then.
Great.
Terrific.
Stay positive.
Sure.
But let's not dwell on it.
Let's not dwell on it.
Let's talk about fun stuff.
Agreed.
And speaking of Australia becoming a nightmarish hellscape
that we can never escape from,
Mortal Kombat's filming here next year.
It is in Adelaide.
In Adelaide of all places.
Yeah.
Listen up.
You know what?
It's not that bad.
I was talking to Claire about the state of the nation.
You know what I mean?
There's some good things going on.
Well, Mortal Kombat's filming in Adelaide.
Obviously, that's a good thing.
Yeah.
But there might be some sort of time travel twist.
Oh.
Depending.
Because the new one's all about time travel.
Yeah.
The new game is all about time travel.
Do you think we'll be able to get some time travel to escape what's been happening?
In Australia?
Or Mortal Kombat.
Whatever.
What are we?
I don't think we have the technology yet.
I just think if the world's on fire, maybe address it.
Just look into it a little bit.
Yeah.
And maybe move towards
sustainable energy sources
because
you know
the shit that you dig out of the earth
doesn't last forever
there's a finite amount
of
you can also create
of nether realm ectoplasm
even
you can create new jobs
in new areas
is what I'm saying
and fix the fucking internet
anyway
Mortal Kombat's filming
Mason
yep
this series struggles on for some reason.
Angel has fallen.
The Weekly Planet?
Oh.
Yeah, that is not untrue.
It's not inaccurate, is it?
As with all Black Mirror trailers, who knows what any of this is.
Who knows what's happening?
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, it's a man who's had enough, though.
That's right.
Yeah.
He's had enough of cheating on his wife with a robot, probably. And he's ready to gouge his eyes out with a bit of glass. But he's a man who's had enough, though. That's right. Yeah. He's had enough of cheating on his wife with a robot, probably.
And he's ready to gouge his eyes out with a bit of glass.
But he's a robot.
What?
And his wife is also a robot.
What?
He's cheating on a robot with a robot, and he's a robot.
Wow.
And it's in a phone.
What?
Yeah.
It's someone's eye.
What?
So...
Bandersnatch, they really put some effort in.
I think they should be commended.
Yeah, I agree.
Yeah, totally.
Completely agree. Interesting experiment from probably the best version of that that we'll effort in. I think they should be commended. Yeah, I agree. Yeah, totally. Completely agree.
Interesting experiment from probably the best version of that that we'll ever get.
That we'll ever get.
Exactly, yeah.
I googled Bandersnatch secrets and at the wrap.com it says Black Mirror Bandersnatch
has a secret ending with a crazy Easter egg.
This is from March.
And I've tried to open it and it's like, cannot open page.
That's the twist.
Network connection was lost.
Oh, no.
Yeah. That's pretty good. That really makes you think, doesn't it? Do you reckon that. Wait, it's the twist. Network connection was lost. Oh, no. Yeah.
That's pretty good.
Really makes you think, doesn't it?
Yeah.
Do you reckon that-
Wait, it's loading now.
Oh, I was going to say, is that in itself, is that a Bandersnatch ending itself?
That is a Bandersnatch ending in itself, yeah.
It's filtered into the real world.
Yeah, that's right.
Great.
Okay.
So, this is the most recent thing in March.
So, let's see if there's any-
No, it's the same one.
Which one's that?
It's the one where you get on the bus and instead of the tape you selected,
it's the tape that says Bandersnatch.
That was like in December.
I know.
I know.
This is from March, though.
Come on.
But, James, we're in March right now.
No, we're not.
This is Bandersnatch.
We're not in March.
Black Mirror.
And Bandersnatch also didn't come out in March.
Check your Google Calendar.
I did.
It's gone.
I'm looking it up now.
No, it's gone.
What do you mean? Now it just says Black March. Check your Google Calendar. I did. I'm looking at it now. No, it's gone. What do you mean?
Now it just says Black Mirror.
It just says Black Mirror.
Look a bit closer.
You're trapped in your Google Calendar.
You're trapped in a Google Calendar,
and you've got to go to a school working bee tomorrow.
I don't want that.
No, but you have to, though.
But I'm in my calendar?
Yep.
That's fine.
Okay.
I'll take that.
Nice, cool.
So the creator of Akira, I'm sorry, everybody, Katsuhiro, or Tomo's.
Yes.
Tomo.
I could probably edit that into something, can't I?
You can do it later.
It's fine.
But keep all that in.
Yes.
And then just a second of silence and then maybe a perfect pronunciation,
maybe from YouTube.
Yeah, or Levens.
Yeah, great.
Levens could definitely do it.
He's doing a brand new anime series based on the original Akira manga.
Oh, yeah.
It's going to be a more faithful adaptation because, as we both know,
especially me, who's a big fan of...
You're the guy who knows everything about anime.
100% and manga.
Yeah.
That's right.
Guess what's this?
Avatar Last Airbender.
Not an anime or a manga.
It's actually an American production.
It obviously takes its stylistic influences from...
I'm listening.
Some properties from the east.
The Land of the Rising Sun.
Correct.
And such, the movie.
Yes.
What's that short cottery movie?
Rising Sun.
Yeah.
It's good, isn't it?
No.
Correct.
And that's what I'm saying.
That's great.
Yeah.
Okay.
Different properties.
From what I understand, he's doing a new version.
Yep.
And I think they're doing a 4K re-release of the original.
Yes.
And they're also doing, I think, a new super oversized,
complete re-translation of the original manga for English.
People will love that, won't they?
Because they love a re-translation of subs and dubs and et cetera and so forth.
I'm kind of excited for that.
Me too.
It's going to be like 1,000 pages.
Yeah.
I'm trying to think back because I've seen Akira
and read it multiple times, all of it.
But I'm thinking I'm going to go back into somebody
who's never seen it and just kind of watch it with fresh eyes.
Oh, yeah.
So put yourself in the mindset of a man who's ignorant
of what you're talking about currently.
Yeah, it's going to be difficult, obviously.
Yeah, for sure, because you know everything about those things.
Yes.
Yeah. Are you a fan? Yes. Yeah, cool. Well, then you'll love. Yeah, for sure, because you know everything about those things. Yes. Yeah.
Are you a fan?
Yes.
Yeah.
Cool.
Well, then you'll love this, maybe.
I mean, not as much.
Again, I think every time I go into, like, JB Hi-Fi or whatever, I'll see, like, there's a super special edition.
Yeah.
And it's got, like, the score on an LP and, like, the Blu-ray and all that's in the art book.
You see the word Akira and then the guy, the main guy from Akira,
Jason Akira.
Yes.
In some translations, I should point out.
People might not be familiar with the one I'm talking about.
And then it's his red Akira bike, which is also called Akira.
That's correct, yes.
Akira 2000 is the name of his bike.
In some translations.
But so you see that and you're like, I'm going to go in this time?
Every time I'm like, ooh.
Yeah.
No.
Maybe this is the time.
Maybe this is the one.
Yeah.
So, look, and the thing about this is it's not going to wipe away the old Akira
if you love the movie.
But there are a lot of people who are fans of the original.
My understanding is that they're okay with this.
Like another more faithful version.
Exactly, yeah.
And there you go.
The main guy's name is Kaneda.
What? But his bike's name is Kaneda. What?
But his bike's name is Kaneda 2000.
Yes.
He's named his bike after himself.
We all know.
Okay, cool.
Not all of us know, obviously.
The experts in the room, me and you, know that.
We know that, yeah.
Face Off is getting a reboot in development of whoever owns Face Off.
Of course, made famous for the movie Face Off,
John Travolta and Nicolas Cage.
They're taking each other's faces off.
Okay, I've got an idea for a title.
What do you think of this?
I'm ready.
Two Face, Two Fury Off.
That's pretty good.
What do you think?
Sequel.
But am I going to understand it if I haven't seen one face,
one fury on?
Look, they'll probably be saying-
I'm back, everyone.
You were worried since that last joke.
I was back.
They did peeps.
But I'm back.
Like John Wick, people keep asking if I'm back, but I am in fact back.
He's back.
Oh, what about this lady face off?
Do you swap a lady's face with a man's face?
No, I think that would be too much.
Just full lady's face-off.
Even in the advanced 29 technology that has evolved from 1998 face-off technology
or whatever it was, I think that might be too advanced.
For face-off technology.
Yeah.
Yeah, I see what you're saying.
Maybe they have been doing it for 20 years and they're like,
we're finally ready.
You know what we're doing.
Drew Barrymore and David Harbour.
That's what we're doing.
Nice. Yeah, perfect. Just a giant Drew Barrymore. Yeah. I love it. you ready you know what we're doing drew barrymore and david harbour that's what we're doing nice yeah
perfect just a giant drew barrymore yeah i love it just just charging through the streets swatting
cars out of the way yeah okay i would say that you wouldn't see that no i would absolutely say that
okay okay this it's it's a face-off sequel but the technology has gone like it's gone into a
nightmarish direction. And when you
swap the faces, who knows what's going to happen.
Yeah, exactly. There's just massive
size discrepancies.
I love it. Just a giant club arm.
Like they inject the fat in the, you know,
they're like, well we've got to make this guy a little bit bigger
but then he's just got just a giant club.
It's Resident Evil.
It's the video game.
Resident Evil. And then one guy's like,
didn't we used to do this for like infiltration or something?
No, I just haven't.
We're going to bust up that crack den or whatever,
just send in the David Harbour Drew Barrymore monster
just to tear the building down.
Okay.
I don't know.
Whatever actors you want.
Yeah, whatever.
Whoever's hot right now. Whoever's hot right now.
Whoever's hot right now.
Just whoever's just been in the last ten movies.
You're like, boy, this person's been in ten movies
and I don't know if I really like them, honestly.
Maybe sequel to Gemini Man, swap young Will Smith's face.
Old Will Smith's face, yeah.
What do you think about that?
I love it.
Great.
Exciting news for the inter...
I'll cut all that out.
No, leave that out.
But listen, here's the thing, because it's the news time
and the hot topic of the week very briefly until people forgot about it
was the Doctor Dolittle trailer.
The remake.
Or just Dolittle.
Is it?
Great.
Just Dolittle, I think.
Okay, so imagine Sherlock Holmes but with animals.
Imagine the movie Evan Almighty but the budget is $175 million.
That's not, this isn't the kind of movie that makes that back, you know, generally.
Also, it feels like it'd be cheaper if you got actual animals, right?
And just CGI'd your mouth.
And then you'd be able to just have them there and you could walk up and be like,
there's a giraffe and whatever.
You get the giraffe of the day or I don't know where you get a giraffe from.
Or you'd bring the green screen to the giraffe.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah.
I am enjoying very much that scene where he just goes,
this is a giraffe or whatever.
And he moves on to the next thing.
And then they call cut and he's like, oh, this is what I went
to acting school for.
Just, oh, my God, enough of these Marvel movies, just nonsense.
But this, I put every essence of my being into this is the giraffe
or whatever.
You probably got like $40 million for this.
I'm sure he doesn't give a shit.
Maybe that's the reason.
You needed to buy another lighthouse house.
Maybe he's doing good work behind the scenes.
Maybe he's giving the money to like.
No.
He's buying a lighthouse house, another one.
Another one.
He's building, he's got a lighthouse house on like one side of a shore.
Yep.
And then he's bought a town on the other side of the shore with another
lighthouse house and he's going to build a flying fox across him or something
like that.
I think he should hire two guys and not tell them that he owns both and be like that's your enemy lighthouse
so they're nice yeah yeah you have to blind his light with your light
and he just sits in the middle of a little tugboat yes that's right this is the craft he says this is
why i got into the crowd this is why he needs this yeah sorry my brothers i'm just telling my brother that i'm podcasting nice i did that thing where
you know you get a message and you said back an automatic reply and it's like sorry you can't
have a discussion right now but it feels so impersonal it really does yeah and it sounds
like you're in trouble as well yeah that's right which i am i have to do this shit with you
got ya not true i enjoy this a lot.
Thank you.
And you know what I love more than anything?
Star Wars news.
We've got some.
Yeah.
Big week for Star Wars news.
I think I'm okay currently.
I think this is a good, actually, we've just got the one small bit of news,
but it's a good lead into the copious amounts of Star Wars news we're going to be getting this entire year.
This year is going to be so Star Wars heavy, you're going to kill yourself.
Good, finally.
But other news related to the Disney Plus is,
and they announced some Star Wars shows.
Sorry, Star what?
Star Wars shows.
Star what?
Oh, no, he's back.
That's right.
The man who loves Star Wars.
No, Star what?
The man who loves Star Wars is here. I can't believe you brought back your famous character, guy who loves Star Wars. No, Star what? The man who loves Star Wars is here.
I can't believe you brought back your famous character,
guy who loves Star Wars.
That's not what he is.
I don't know who you're talking about.
I don't even know what that is.
He's been on vacation for a little while, but he's back.
He's back.
People have been requesting it.
What an inopportune time for him to be back.
The guy who doesn't know what Star Wars is.
Hope there's no Star Wars news this week.
But it's all Star Wars news. What was? Well, look, if you want to get in on what Star Wars is. Hope there's no Star Wars news this week. But it's all Star Wars news.
What was?
Well, look, mate, if you want to get in on some Star Wars news
from the ground up, a guy who doesn't know what Star Wars is,
Steel Saunders does a podcast called Steel Wars.
He is at Star Wars Celebration.
And if you're like, what's that?
He's been attending all the major panels,
interviewing cast members as well from the new Star Wars film
that you'll love once you see them all.
Once I know what Star Wars is.
Once you've seen all 15 films.
If you had to explain whatever this thing is, how would you do it?
Okay, have you seen Star Wars?
No.
That was my reference point to kick off.
Yes.
Because most things now are just a riff on that.
Just a thinly veiled Star Wars.
Yeah, right?
Yeah.
It's like Jupiter ascending a bit.
Yeah, have you seen that?
Not yet.
Oh, no.
I can't even use my second touchstone.
Yeah, right?
Jupiter ascending.
Have you seen Independence Day?
Yes.
It's like that, except it's in the past, but with better technology.
Oh.
You happy with that?
Yes.
You know how they fly into the alien spaceship at the end of Independence Day and they blow it up?
Yeah.
They do that in Star Wars, but every movie. Oh oh sounds a bit repetitive well it can be maybe one of them should shake it
up a bit and not have that no do you think people would like that what who would want that you don't
know anything about star wars you don't know what people want i'm just saying hypothetically
hypothetically like maybe like the like if you've done like seven of the movies and then then the
maybe if you're doing the eighth one of the formula would be a bit stale.
Sure, yeah.
So maybe you would do something a little bit different.
I think people would like that.
I think 100% of the people who watch that would like it.
In the eighth Star Wars movie, you do something completely different and everybody would be on board for it.
Everybody would be on board for it, yeah.
So you'd maybe surprise kill a major villain.
Yeah.
Weaponize like a form of interstellar travel.
Yeah, that sounds really good use some kind
of projection uh ability to make yourself appear in a fight on the other side of the universe if
you are subverting the tropes of this star thing yes then i think then if the tropes are established
and then you subvert them a bit i think that would be great don't you think some people don't want
that though no i mean because there's also people who don't want that but there's also people who
say they're okay with it but maybe make a better version of that oh like some people don't want that, though? No. I mean, because there's also people who don't want that, but there's also people who say they're okay with it
but maybe make a better version of that.
Oh, like some people in public could remake it.
All I'm saying is I like that movie.
Yes.
And there's a guy here some weeks who also enjoys it.
Oh, good.
He's not here right now.
Yes, all right.
But I think there are very valid criticisms of that movie
and people who don't like it.
All right.
I don't think everybody who doesn't like it is a baby,
is what I'm saying.
Let's say they did a sequel to that one.
What do you think that would be all about?
I think they'd probably lean heavily on things that were safe
and people enjoyed.
Maybe bring back some existing characters that are long dead
and then inexplicably have them show up at the very last film
at the end of a nine-film saga. Saga, yeah, okay.
That's what I would say.
But so, yeah, so Steel Wars, the podcast, I'll link it below.
Yeah.
He covers everything relating to this.
Oh, well, I think I'll go and listen to that.
Okay.
Bye.
Bye.
I know I've fallen down some stairs, I'm dead.
But you'll never get a chance to listen to Steel Wars.
I don't know about Star Wars. They'll play at his funeral, it's fine. Okay. Oh, to Steel Wars. I know about Star Wars.
They'll play at his funeral.
It's fine.
Oh, you're back.
I'm back.
He's got funny considered opinions about Star Wars.
Like the time he said he didn't like the General Grievous Ackbar robot
that they made for the comics, which I agree with.
I'm sorry, the what?
It's like an Admiral Ackbar.
Yes.
But it's just on like a General Grievous body.
So it's just like a fish head on a Grievous body with four lightsabers. It's not Admiral Ackbar. Yes. But it's just on like a General Grievous body. So it's just like a fish head on a Grievous body.
With four lightsabers.
It's not Admiral Ackbar.
I was going to say, but it's one of those guys.
Yeah.
It's one of the fish guys.
Mon Calamari.
Mon Calamari.
Yeah.
Pretty good, huh?
That does sound good.
Did it really have four lightsabers?
Yes.
Wow.
Google it.
He's Googling it, everybody.
This is why I love Star Wars news, because of the fun little tidbits,
like some sort of weird Mon Calamari General Grievous guy.
General Grievous Ackbar.
His name's Commander Carbon.
Is that who we're talking about?
Sure.
This guy?
That's him, General Grievous Ackbar.
Okay.
Yeah.
And I'm like he doesn't have four arms but then later he does have four arms.
He does.
Anyway, Star Wars news.
Star Wars news forever.
So much Star Wars news.
I feel like people wanted more kind of pushback from you
because I know you got a lot of messages this week about Star Wars news.
But I've had a lot of time to come to terms with the fact we're going to have to talk about Star Wars today.
Absolutely.
And you know what?
There's some of it's pretty fun.
That's right, Mason.
There's a big reveal.
I don't know what order you're going to go with in here.
Certainly Admiral Ackbar.
I'll do this.
Yes.
General Grievous Robot.
The other big reveal, of course, was probably the biggest thing that was released online, at least.
The Mandalorian trailer.
What do you think of this trailer?
It looks really good.
Yeah.
What about it?
It's very spaghetti western.
It is, isn't it?
I read a rumor, and I meant to put this in the video,
that he might not even take his helmet off for the entire series.
Oh, they're going to judge Shred It.
That's right.
Maybe they'll probably do it at the end where it's like,
look who I am.
Sylvester Stallone.
I've learned my lesson from last time.
Yes.
Do you think it would be a big reveal and it would be like,
it's me, this guy?
Oh, because isn't it the actor?
I know who it is.
But what if they made him an Ackbar and he's like,
it was just the voice.
Oh, my God.
It was just the voice.
Ackbar's going to be anyone.
Yeah.
It would be a lesson for people out there who consider themselves the Ackbar.
Yeah, right.
It's their friendship group.
Yeah.
And then they would learn that they can be anything,
even though they look like an Ackbar.
What would you be if you were an Ackbar in your friendship group? Googly-eyed? Yeah, googly-eyed and damp. Yeah. And then they would learn that they can be anything. Even though they look like an Ackbar. What would you be if you were an Ackbar in your friendship group?
Googly-eyed?
Yeah, googly-eyed and damp.
Yeah.
Blown up in space.
Yep.
And people kind of forgot.
Yeah.
That you were in that movie.
In Constant Fear of Traps.
Yeah.
He would be.
Hang on.
Yeah.
Can you give me some different pants?
All right.
I'll get you some different pants.
Everybody will be right back.
I've got to get some different pants.
He's not happy with the pants he's carrying.
This is wild.
Just to be clear, is this some sort of attempt to get some sort of viral meme going again,
a la Big Sandwich?
Because it seems that way.
I didn't wait him up.
You're like, my son, do some riffing out there.
And he's coming with different pants?
Come on. I don't know what to
tell you he's a meme machine he's a big machine yeah i'm back we're all back oh my goodness we're
all in his pants were fine but it's one of these having like a three four year old whatever they're
very much like this is the particular thing that i want it's all right we all took the opportunity
to put on different pants hashtag differenthtag different pants, everyone.
We're going to make this viral if it kills every single one of us.
We want to see a thousand memes.
We want to see the feed in the Planet Broadcasting Great Mates choked up.
We want to drive the admins insane.
We want memes about different pants.
We want people angry about there's too many memes about different pants.
We want a resurgence.
Yeah, exactly.
We want a backlash to the resurgence.
We want people going,
when are different pants going to die already?
We want to see Meso driving the tram,
but the tram is in a different pair of pants.
Yep.
Sound good?
If a tram were wearing different pants,
how would the tram wear the pants?
What would that even look like?
Oh, my God.
Earlier this week, you and I went out to lunch at a cafe.
We brought your son along, and I've discovered my new favourite thing
is attempting to convince your son that all his Transformers
are named Reg.
He does not care for it.
Because one of them was called Wedge, and I'm like, oh, Reg,
and he's like, no.
And I'm like, oh, that's Red Alert.
No, that's Reginald Alert.
Your friend Reginald Alert.
He's like, no.
I think you did convince him that Megatron's father's name is Regitron.
Yes.
At some point.
Reg Megatron.
I think that might have made that work.
Anyway, he doesn't like it at all.
He doesn't like it.
It's fun, though.
It's so much fun.
Yeah.
It's hard not to do.
Well, that's, I mean, you know, I want, you know.
He likes you.
For now.
I think he's turning around.
As he gets to know me, he's liking me less.
Yeah, that's probably.
As women, our life stages come with unique risk factors,
like when our estrogen levels drop during menopause,
causing the risk of heart disease to go up.

FX's The Veil explores the surprising and fraught relationship
between two women who play a deadly game of truth and lies
on the road from Istanbul to Paris and London.
One woman has a secret.
The other, a mission to reveal it
before thousands of lives are lost.
FX's The Veil, starring Elizabeth Moss, is now streaming on Disney+.
Okay, James, you've got to read this.
Just take this and read it.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Hopefully I can remember how to read or what that is.
Oh, my goodness.
Imagine breaking out of a dinner rut with HelloFresh
because they have 22-plus seasonal chef-curated recipes each week.
That sounds incredible.
Well, I mean, currently you're just on hospital food,
so anything would seem incredible to you.
But I think even by any standards that's incredible.
It is incredible.
You're not wrong.
Because there's something for everybody, including low-calorie,
vegetarian, family-friendly recipes every week.
You have a family.
That's new information for you.
Oh, God.
Yeah.
But it's okay because you've got HelloFresh.
The average trip to the grocery store takes 41 minutes.
That's over 35 hours a year if you go once a week.
And the source of that is the Time Institute.
You go many times a week to get away from your family.
That's true.
Probably.
But it's okay.
You don't have to now.
Oh, excellent.
And also HelloFresh have pre-proportioned ingredients, means there's less prep for you
and you have less food waste.
That seems important to me.
Well, I mean, you don't have any idea of like weights or measures anymore.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So you'd be putting in 20 pounds of pasta and one teaspoon of tomato sauce.
You don't know.
I don't know.
What's going on.
So this is very handy for you.
And I think this is also great probably
because the carbon footprint of HelloFresh
is 25% lower than store-bought grocery-made meals.
And the source of that is the University of Michigan,
which is probably a reputable source.
I can confirm, definitely reputable.
Excellent, good.
That's what I want to hear.
HelloFresh is also now just $5.66 per serving.
Best value.
Delicious choice.
You're really coming into your own.
I mean, you should know that real James is much less charismatic.
He's kind of real.
I'll turn it down a bit.
He's a real, I mean, he's a real, when your memory comes back,
you'll remember he's a real kind of a dead weight.
Okay, sure.
He really drags the podcast down.
Also, I can imagine, I've got a note here from myself from the past tattooed on me,
memento style, a movie I haven't seen, but it says, say, this is like the movie Memento.
We'll show you Memento at some point.
It says, HelloFresh is convenient and time-saving and easy.
And one of the meals that I have enjoyed in the past is the Japanese beef and pepper tacos,
which sound incredible.
And also the beef tenderloin in a mustard sauce over truffled couscous.
Oh my goodness.
That sounds amazing.
You do love couscous.
I know that about you.
Very little else.
Not much you love couscous.
But that's what we can focus your entire new personality on.
Oh, great.

You're doing so well.
Thank you.
I should let you know I get 100% of the revenue from this ad.
That makes sense to me.
Yeah, right?
But I read it.
That's not what you insisted on when you had memories.
Okay.
So I don't know what to tell you.
On with the thing that you were making me listen to.
More clips.
Mason, are you excited for 2019 or do you wish it was 2020 yet?
Look, in some ways, why can't 2019 be over?
I agree.
Am I right?
Yeah.
But at the same time, probably some good movies coming out soon.
Probably some good movies.
That's what we're going to do.
We're a bit late to this, but we've all had things on, haven't we?
We've all had stuff on.
Yeah.
And also, we're going to have the hottest takes.
I mean, sure, you might listen to another podcast where they've had some hot takes about
the upcoming movies of 2019 already.
Yeah.
Or a YouTube series where they talk about hot takes about movies.
We're going to have even hotter takes.
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah.
First up, we've got the Lego Movie Part 2.
Part 2.
Did you enjoy the first one?
Didn't see it.
The new one has some pretty good reviews.
It's Mad Maxian.
Right.
There's a man in there who's like a Chris Pratt Voices 2 character.
One's like the Ace Rimmer version of him.
That's right, yeah.
For that obscure reference.
It's not that obscure, surely.
I think it's obscure enough.
All right.
Okay, tweet at me, at MrSundayMovies or at WikipediaBrown.
Do you understand the Ace Rimmer reference?
You don't have to understand it.
It is absolutely fine if you don't. I just want to kind of gauge okay where it's at don't google it and say i
googled it just do you understand do you understand it yes or no it's our famous yes or no question
that we receive a bunch of yeses or no's during the week and we've forgotten what we were talking
about yep so we don't know what you're referring to but no context no context please but uh hell
boy is then after that.
Yep.
He made the face.
He didn't say anything, but he made a face of,
I'm unsure about this.
Yeah.
He made the face of, I'm unsure about this,
but I want it to be good, but I don't want to flat out say,
I don't think it's going to be good.
Yep.
His face said the whole lot, all at the same time.
That's why we need a video format for this.
That's right.
We're working on it.
We'll see, won't we?
Well, they've gone lower budget, and they probably filmed it in Prague or whatever, so it might
be all right.
Well, that's where Baba Yaga hangs out.
That is true.
To cost cut, they use the real Baba Yaga.
What do you think of a chicken house?
I love a chicken house.
Do you think it's a cool thing to do, though?
Yeah, it's very cool.
It's very now.
That house is coming right at us on its chicken legs.
That's right.
That's what I'm saying.
I hear you, man. Yeah. Does that house walk? It must. Yeah, it does. Because why be on chicken legs. That's right. That's what I'm saying. I hear you, man.
Yeah.
Does that house walk?
It must.
Yeah, it does.
Because why be on legs for?
That's right.
Yeah.
See, that's the kind of hellboy dialogue that I'm looking forward to.
Hey, what's it on legs for?
What juice is coming at us?
Is it apesopian run?
Was it a giant chicken converted into a house or a house converted into a chicken leg i think it's towards the second that the second one
okay i think maybe she's just always had a chicken leg house i but i feel like there needs to be an
origin for the chicken leg house like there was a big free chicken well if we all see this movie a
lot if we really we really get a ground and they test they test it where you you turn the dial up
or what yeah left or right chicken leg but it says it's a instead of a dial it's left and right dial to the left is house with
chicken legs dial to the right is just a regular house and people like oh no regular house anyway
we're gonna get a grassroots campaign going yeah chicken leg house chicken leg house origin
and if we all see this new hell boy we're gonna get a chicken leg house origin. Chicken leg house origin. And if we all see this new Hellboy, we're going to get a chicken leg house origin.
Just to clarify, it's two chicken legs only, isn't it?
Yeah, it doesn't have four chicken legs.
You need more.
I don't know if that's stable.
No, but its chicken legs have claws at the bottom.
Yeah, fair point.
And it's probably not like a big crooked house.
It's probably quite square, right?
It's a little cottage.
Yeah, cool.
Okay.
This makes sense to me now.
Does it often squat so you don't know it's a chicken leg house? And then it stands up and you're like... I don't know. I don't know that, actually. Okay. That makes sense to me now. Does it often squat so you don't know it's a chicken leg house?
And then it stands up and you're like...
I don't know.
I don't know that, actually.
Interesting.
I feel like it's always been...
Always has visible chicken legs, but...
I need more information about the chicken leg house.
Oh, you think you're going to get more origin?
Yeah.
I wanted to turn up the house and go, this is just a regular house.
I thought we were looking for a chicken leg house.
Oh, we're rising up in the sky.
Does it lay eggs?
Does it have a little chicken leg house?
I don't know.
Chicken leg, like cubby houses.
Okay, so the producers of Hellboy, if you're listening,
and you haven't done any origin, it's time for a reshoot.
Yes.
You haven't done the origin of Baba Yaga's house.
Chicken leg house.
Anyway, next week the show is going to start with
Welcome to the Weekly Planet where we talk about Baba Yaga's house.
Exclusively the origins of Baba Yaga's house.
Can we call it Chicken Leg House, please?
Okay, Chicken Leg House. And then afterwards afterwards to kind of cap off the year uh cats the movie the movie
adaptation of the play cat right incredible how's that gonna look shit well yeah but i mean in what
way specifically i think james corden's in it i think taylor swift's in it so is it gonna be
the play cats it's people in the cat suits, funny colored cat suits.
So it's not going to be that in the movie.
It's going to be animated real cats, right?
Yes.
Okay.
Do you want some names for this?
Yes.
Taylor Swift.
Okay.
Idris Elba.
All right.
Jennifer Hudson.
Oh.
Ian McKellen.
Oh.
Jason Derulo.
Jason Derulo.
James Corden.
Judi Dench
Rebel Wilson
There's some good names in this
There you go
And some not as good names
Okay so it's not like
We're taking this deadly seriously
And we're cats
I think it's both
Because otherwise it's going to have to be
Deadly serious cats
And then cat makeup
Deadly serious songs sung by cats
And everybody looks like
Beast from X-Men Origins
But that's what I'm saying
Isn't it just going to be cats?
Like it's not going to be people dressed...
Are you going to think literal cats?
Yeah.
No.
Because it can't be how they look in the movie.
I don't think...
Because that's alien...
Like, the idea behind the theatre version is we're supposed to go, okay, they are cats,
but obviously they can't dress...
They can't put them into giant fuzzy cat suits so they're physically the same shape as cats.
I think that's what it is.
That's crazy.
Hang on, sorry.
If you put what you see on...
Jason Derulo.
Jason Derulo.
If you put the cats, if you put what you see on the stage into the movie,
then it's just weird alien, like it's Thundercats.
I agree.
And then do they interact with humans?
I don't know.
You'd be like, what the hell's that?
Because they'd be little as well, aren't they?
They'd have to be little. They'd be little. You'd be like, what the hell's that? Because they'd be little as well, aren't they? They'd have to be little.
They'd be little.
You'd be like, what is that?
There's a new song about a man swatting a whole bunch of cat people creatures to death with a shovel.
That's the new song.
Sounds great.
It's called Have I Died and Gone to Hell.
There's weird cat monkeys in the alley behind where I work. That's what it's called Have I Died and Gone to Hell. There's weird cat monkeys in the alley behind where I work.
That's what it's called.
Are you going to say this?
I'll say it just for that.
I mean, that's not going to be a thing in the movie.
I will absolutely not say it.
No, why would I say it?
I don't know, because it could be funny.
I guess so.
Yeah.
Anyway, those are all the movies.
We've definitely missed some.
Yeah, we will.
But speaking of.
Anyway, it's time to talk about the thing that's made the most waves this week
in the social media universe, and that's big sandwiches.
Yes.
We're going to pivot entirely to a big sandwich-based podcast.
We're going to talk about big sandwiches.
We're going to look at big sandwich-based memes.
We appreciate the people who made their own big sandwiches,
people who sent us pictures of big sandwiches,
people who used jokes and memes and created all those different things.
Basically, for those who are nodding the no,
my son came in no less than three times last week demanding a big sandwich.
Demanding, that's right.
And I had to stop the podcast to go make him a big sandwich.
People also want to know what was the big sandwich.
Should I reveal it?
No.
Okay.
Let me just be clear.
Big. Yeah. Speaking of great things, or is it? the big sandwich should i reveal it no okay let me let me just be clear big yeah yeah speaking of
great things or is it avengers endgame we did a non-spoiler review pretty much when we came
straight out of the movie that's on my youtube channel it's uh it's titled avengers endgame
reaction 10 exclamation points and it's both of our faces looking shocked
look mason i'm no stranger to clickbait.
I'm not one to make fun of others
for their particular YouTube thumbnail practices.
All your videos, the last half a dozen of them
have all just been Captain Marvel explodes!
Ten exclamation points.
Feminism?
Feminism!
Captain Marvel, get out of here!
Yeah.
Disney buys all the tickets for Captain Marvel. Captain Marvel nude? Yeah, even if you hate Captain Marvel get out of here Disney buys all the tickets for Captain Marvel
Captain Marvel nude
Even if you hate Captain Marvel
Captain Marvel you hate her but she's nude
Even if you hate Captain Marvel
You can't get around the fact it made a billion dollars
You absolutely can't
Unless Disney bought all the tickets
I didn't even think of that
You'd think maybe they probably did that for some reason
You know
They sent guys to every cinema And just bought all the tickets I didn't even think of that. You didn't think maybe they probably did that for some reason, you know?
They sent guys to every cinema and just bought all the tickets.
That must be it.
Anyway, how about this?
I've got some reviews here from people who have tweeted the show.
Andrew says,
Sorry, Avengers Endgame.
Holy shit, the best MCU movie, best movie of the year,
and best cinema experience I've ever had.
Applauding and wooing audience, surrounded by friends and strangers,
all feeling the same way and mostly crying like me.
How do you feel about an applauding audience, James?
Shut up.
Shut up.
You don't like it?
I like it.
Even if it's brief, none of this extended.
All right, all right. What are you?
I like it.
No, I like it.
You just keep it going?
Yeah, just keep it going.
During the movie.
Yeah, just keep it going.
During the movie.
I see how long I can keep it going. Just keep it going forever. You want this during the film. Yep, I like it. You just keep it going? Yeah, just keep it going. During the movie. Yeah, I just keep it going. During the movie. I see how long I can keep it going.
Just keep it going forever.
You want this during the film.
Yep, the whole time.
You're an absolute the food.
When the movie starts and I'm like, good, yep, Mr. Fantasy, great opening tune.
Here we go.
Really sets the tone.
Just keep clapping.
I clap the whole movie.
All the time.
And Charlie Hunter said, yeah, Avengers endgame is good but have you seen
justice league yeah it's a good question a bit of a difference between these yep movies isn't there
good or ill there's differences there's definitely differences isn't there i couldn't think of many
off the top of my head let's do demian holst and i've chosen this one because it has the title
captain america wife stealer yeah so in the museum scene in winter soldier cap watches an interview And I've chosen this one because it has the title Captain America Wife Stealer. Yeah. Interesting.
So in the museum scene in Winter Soldier, Cap watches an interview with Peggy Carter
in which she says that one of the men Cap rescued from behind enemy lines in First Avenger
later became her husband.
Yes.
This means Cap knowingly stole Peggy away from another man.
Yep.
And also...
Also good.
I hope he stole.
Yeah, right?
Also, this...
He rescued that guy. that guy should be dead anyway
here's the thing though she wouldn't say in the interview well i owe captain america a great debt
of gratitude because he came back through time and married me just fyi he's secretly my husband
yeah and uh and i shouldn't be telling anybody this but i'm telling everybody this you wouldn't
say i'm steve rogers you'd be like yeah yeah I was we met during the war I'm Johnny Rogers
Captain America rescued me
and now I'm here
like he could just
pretend to be the guy
I love Captain America
I love Captain America
you know what
if he came through time
and stole my wife away
wouldn't mind it at all
yeah I think it's
I think it's just him
so yeah I mean
you know
so you could just be like
well there's rumours
that Captain America
kept fighting crime
all the way through
the 50s and 60s
and just be like
yeah he did
yeah
because of time travel.
And also nobody had a good photo of anybody.
That's exactly right. If you
didn't sit there for the big
concertina camera with the
burning gunpowder flash,
you may as well not have been there at all.
That was a little bit earlier, but yeah, I get the idea.
I'm absolutely right. Or you could just say
we're related.
It doesn't matter. Or I look like him.
Yeah, exactly.
It doesn't matter.
I've got a mustache, though.
So it's different.
But no, I'm 100% okay with him.
Yep.
Even if he did steal...
I mean, that sucks for that guy, but obviously he doesn't know, does he?
I don't think he's real.
I've got a tweet here from Unimaginative Username.
Oh, hello.
And that makes sense because their username is cmcg__22.
It's not great.
Yeah.
Now that Endgame is over,
who do you think will be the next big bad in the MCU?
I'd like to see Galactus or Doctor Doom,
but maybe they're done with the big ultimate villains for now.
Hashtag weekly pun apart.
But the thing about Galactus,
the comic book version at least,
is he's part of the universe
and you can't destroy him without destroying the universe.
So how do they handle that?
They take his wife away.
Take his wife away. Captain America goes back handle that? They take his wife away. Take his wife away.
Captain America goes back in time.
Steals his wife.
Steals his wife.
We need a man with a very specific set of skills.
Steve, we're bringing you back.
You're going to steal this guy's wife.
Who would you like to see?
It would be good because he'd be old now.
Yep.
And Peggy has died.
And he's like, can I still do this?
Have I still got it?
Yeah.
Spoiler alert.
Definitely does.
Absolutely he does. Oh, you better believe he does. Look at those teeth. Oh I still got it? Yeah. Spoiler alert. Definitely does. Absolutely he does.
Oh, you better believe he does.
Look at those teeth.
Oh, works of art.
Yeah.
Turns out Thanos was evil the whole time as well.
Because, you know, he's like, I just want to balance the universe.
But now he's just like, I just want to destroy the universe and make it so everyone thinks I'm great.
Yeah, right.
Exactly.
Oh, you weren't even about resource management.
Yeah, exactly.
You've never played a game of Simcity in your life thanos look this is the
next email from ian jackson when the unsnapping occurred i just feel bad for anyone who lost a
spouse during the snap there you go and married the spouse's best friend or twin brother sister
over the next five years that's very specific all right i can't help but feel the mcu is now
going to skip dealing with this trauma yeah yeah there'll be a throwaway line about how some people have graduated from high school.
Yes.
And then they'll never mention it again.
You know what I think it will be?
What's that?
I think the way they keep everybody in check is, listen, you'd be good to your old or new
partners or Captain America is going to come back and marry one of them.
Or both of them.
Or both of them.
Yeah.
Oh, he's like the boogeyman of this universe now.
Where he's just like, you better, if you fly right off,
Captain Orega's going to steal your husband or wife or your old kids or your new kids.
You're mistreating a dog, he'll adopt that dog right out from under you.
I'll tell you that dog, he's so good with dogs, dogs love him.
He treats them so good, he gives them the good food,
he takes them to the vet regularly for checkups.
He flips his shield upside down and fills it with water, he'll do it.
Yeah, that's right.
Also, he turns into a werewolf in the comics, he could do that. He'd get He'll do it. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Also, he turns into a werewolf in the comics.
He could do that.
He'd get along with all dogs.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah.
That'll do it, I reckon.
I think.
Okay, great.
Just tears.
Why don't we make a bet for what's next and the loser has to get the Hawkeye haircut?
Wow.
But the winner gets the Hawkeye tattoo?
Yeah, that's a winner's tattoo.
That's what I think.
You better believe it is.
Yeah.
Man, we've got to move on to Aladdin.
This will probably make its money back and be a hit.
Could age close to a billion worldwide.
Then that's how it goes sometimes.
That's how it goes in this business called show.
What did you think the story was?
Oh, no.
There's a lamp.
It's Aladdin.
It's Aladdin.
Oh, yeah.
Just say it's Aladdin.
That's a shortcut.
Even you've seen Aladdin.
I've seen Aladdin and therefore
everyone in the world
has seen Aladdin
yeah
I was the last one
so it's that but it's
live
yeah and longer
it's kind of
embarrassing for me
why's that
I
did you pee your
pants in the cinema
yeah well yeah I
I really liked this
yeah
I thought it was fun
and charming
but then when you
peed your pants in the
cinema people were
like he mustn't like
that movie because
he's peed his pants.
He's probably scared of the movie.
No, I peed it because I didn't want to leave.
All right, everybody?
All right.
I like this an embarrassing amount.
Huh, there you go.
What about you?
I thought it was quite charming.
Yeah.
Can we get a yes or no from people whether Aladdin is good?
No context.
No context.
Right?
Yep.
And no context whether this is separate
from the previous thing we asked. Whatever that was, which I've already forgotten. Do not separate it. I have forgotten. Yep. And no context whether this is separate from the previous thing we asked.
Whatever that was, which I've already forgotten.
Do not separate it.
I have forgotten.
Yep.
That's how it works.
How'd that happen?
It's 2019 and it's also June.
Do you know what that means?
What does it mean?
There's a Dark Phoenix movie.
Oh, I thought you were...
Another one.
I thought you were segueing into something better.
You wish.
Yeah, I do wish.
Now, Mason, it's been 13 years in the making. You've been screaming for a Dark Phoenix remake. Have I? Yeah was something better. You wish? Yeah, I do wish. Now, Mason, it's been 13 years in the making.
You've been screaming for a Dark Phoenix remake.
Have I?
Yeah, every day.
I haven't, though.
You wake up in a cold sweat and you call me and you're like,
James, I had a dream that they remade Dark Phoenix finally.
And it was bad.
Every day I call you up and then today you're like, but it's real.
But it's today.
Yeah, well.
Well, we're talking stories, so what do you think the story was?
Okay, it's the X-Men.
It's the 90s.
It's 10 years later.
They all look the same again.
Magneto is 62 years old.
He looks great.
He's got those Brad Pitt jeans.
He's had, yeah.
I guess, you know what, if you just go.
He's sourcing his own blood.
Yeah, boy, is he.
It's all the people on that island.
I guess if you go, you know what, in addition to having magnetic powers
or weather powers, you also don't age as much.
I guess I can be on board with that.
Yeah, in this timeline.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
Oh, and then it all catches up to you by 2000 and whatever.
That's right, exactly.
You're Ian McKellen.
It's a Dorian Gray situation where if you look at the painting,
it'll-
Yeah.
Whatever. Is that some versions of Dorian Gray situation where if you look at the painting, it'll, whatever.
Is that some versions of Dorian?
It doesn't matter.
It mystifies me why they didn't use the superhero-y costumes from the end of Apocalypse.
Remember they all turn around?
The Cyclops turns around and he's got the big X.
He looks great!
It looks incredible.
Storm looks incredible.
They all look good.
Anyway, there's something happening in space.
NASA's like, get us the X-Men.
Pick up the X-Phone.
Call the X-Men.
You're rearing up for a space adventure.
Space adventure, a spadventure.
Yeah, but they're 20 feet out of Earth's atmosphere.
Boy, are they, yeah.
That's right.
If they were out in space and they're like,
air's getting pretty thin out here,
they could just scoop up a handful of air,
put it directly in their mouth.
I'm feeling
still warm that's right uh anyway they go to space and then and then jay gray gets the gets the uh
dark phoenix powers again yeah this move this what what struck me about this movie storm exactly the
lightning bolt is that so much of this movie do more weather stuff storm do more weather stuff
sorry sorry go on.
Just lightning.
I want some tornadoes.
I want some hail.
They did a little bit of freezing.
A low pressure system.
Yeah, exactly.
I want it to be... I want some humidity in the air.
Exactly.
I want to see that shimmer on the horizon.
Ah, so good.
What were we talking about?
I went to the toilet for 10 minutes during this movie.
I'm not going to lie.
That happened.
They cut out I Don't Know What To Do.
They really did, didn't they?
David messaged me.
You know David?
Yeah.
I didn't want to believe him.
That's a spoiler, but I feel in the interest of public service,
we're blowing the whistle on this.
I thought I went to the bathroom when they did it.
I mean, you definitely did go to the bathroom.
I was there for 20 minutes.
But at no point does Professor X say, I don't know what to do. He never says did i mean you definitely did go to the bathroom i was there for 20 minutes at no point does professor x say i don't know what to do he never says it do you
think but they keep in she'll kill us all i think that's that i think that was still in us all i
miss that though all right yeah yeah yeah it's a bit of a drag it well that's the thing i and i i
think you can and not in a depressing way no it's kind of like yeah it's kind of meanders along i
think you can you can cut i think endgame probably proves that you can cover big topics
and everything's grim, but there's also time for moments of levity.
If you look at the Dark Knight trilogy, it does it as well.
There's some very serious stuff in those movies.
That's absolutely right.
I mean, they don't put any themes in them,
because don't put themes in my movies, obviously.
That's exactly right.
It's a movie about a man with bat-shaped boomerangs.
What would you throw them at?
Who would you throw them at?
Criminals.
Yeah, nice.
Criminals and probably my mates.
Probably your mates.
You'd probably throw them around some brickwork maybe if you wanted a quick escape.
Yeah, sure.
Get a car that could drive on anything.
Yep.
You could drive across rooftops.
What rooftops would you drive on?
Just all of my mates.
Yeah, nice. Yeah, nice. on anything yep you could drive across rooftops what rooftops would you drive on just all of my mates yeah nice
yeah
nice
so your mates
would get a text
and they'd be like
hey guess where I am
and they'd be like
I don't know
and you'd be like
on your roof
doing a doey
doing a doey
on your roof
and then you'd get a text
you're collapsing
the foundations of my house
and you'd be like
I don't care
we're mates
we went to school together.
What did you think of the villain Margaret?
Oh, Margaret the villain?
That's her name.
Is it?
Well, fuck.
They say it once.
Or maybe they said it again.
I was in the toilet.
Yeah, because he comes back from the party and his husband's like, Margaret.
This villain, these villains are not compelling.
They're not interesting.
They're dull.
It's just men and women in chinos.
Yeah, doing kung fu.
Doing kung fu.
I don't care.
Look, you know what?
I'm going to say worst movie ever.
Yeah.
It's definitely not.
I don't think it's that bad.
No, agreed.
But I can't give it best.
Now it's time for Men in Black International.
Ooh.
There's none of the edge from the first one the creature designs there's some interesting creature designs but it's mostly just
like silver stuff and they walk through like a room that's like a big airport and all the aliens
got like googly eyes and then one of the characters hasn't seen many aliens is just like what's this
one of that and then there's a big circular screen and they're like, there's an incoming transmission from the blabbity bloop system
and one of the zandily kloops has got loose in the bloopity blop.
If you went to an alien train station,
wouldn't you be like, what's this going on here?
I think you would.
I think that's a very genuine reaction.
I think you'd be like, what's happening here?
But they've got to get the squiggly dopes
before the craggling bloops.
That's all direct dialogue from the movie, by the way.
Again, it's Liam Neeson.
He's like, you've got to get the splabbity bloop from the, I don't know,
just go to a different set piece and we'll sort this out.
That's right.
Yeah.
I'm not on any posters.
Yeah, fair enough.
It didn't seem as fantastical as the previous two.
I went to the toilet in the middle.
I missed some of it, so I don't know.
Did you really?
Yeah.
Okay, good.
It's my new thing.
Yeah, it really seems to be.
Maybe you should get your bladder looked at.
I probably should.
Well, in the toilets.
Yeah.
At the cinema.
I was in there for like maybe 32 minutes.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Yeah, you should.
Next time you're in there Just knock on the stall
The next stall
And be like hey man
Can you look at this
Yeah
Also I hate the idea
I hate that his name is High Tea
Yeah
I understand it's supposed to be
A British reference
Oh I know I get that
But I hate it
They should have called him
Scones and Jam
They should have called him
Scones and Jam
Double Decker Bus
Buckingham Palace
Chips and Vinegar
I was going to say Chippy dinner getting glassed exactly
some people ask uh talbot brexit some people ask boris johnson some people ask what
what um that guy could be running england oh my my God. Yeah, but so there's the Fliggity Dump is missing.
Wow.
Because it's going to save the scraggly empire.
Yeah.
I'm worried I'm going to say like a really bad swear.
You're going to have to go through these with a fine-tooth comb just in case.
Yeah.
This editing is going to take a really long time.
It's going to take a real long time.
And also, and I'm kind of glad they didn't.
There was no like at the end.
The world's inside a chicken egg.
Hey, the earth is flat.
It's the bottom of a tortoise.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
Fuck.
Yeah, I mean, how many more things can it be in, you know?
It can't.
They can't.
They're all contradictory to another.
Because the world was in a marble, but then the world was in a locker room.
Yeah.
It didn't make any sense.
Did somebody take it out of the marble?
Yep.
Wow.
And that lady who's in things sometimes.
Who?
The arms dealer.
Oh, yeah.
Rebecca Ferguson.
Yeah.
I like that she had an extra arm.
She had two extra arms.
I thought she only had three.
She had four arms, I think.
I think she only had three.
We'll see, won't we?
No, because neither of us will check.
I'll never check.
And nobody saw this.
No.
But if you do know, let us know.
If you tweet at us, that's our action item this week.
Yeah.
Tweet at us three or four.
Yeah.
Three or four.
Yeah.
And if you have any kind of proof, we don't want to hear it. Does Rebecca Ferguson in real life have how many arms three or four yeah three or four uh yeah and if you have any kind of proof
oh we don't want to hear it does rebecca ferguson in real life have how many arms exactly yeah yeah
so three or four and then how many she has comma how many she has because i'd be curious to know
if she has two arms they added an extra arm or if she has four arms and they took one off i mean
she's definitely got four arms yeah she's got four arms of how many many arms she's got yeah yeah it blew my mind and i had to go to the bathroom because i was just so
fucking blown away by it i think you have some sort of bladder control issue i was in there for
44 minutes i don't think it's a problem that's the correct amount of time uh it's toy story time
story time uh did you well? Well, look, okay.
First of all, I should have.
Did I see it?
Yes, I did.
Toy Story 4.
Excellent.
But what did you think the story was?
Oh, no.
Okay, so let me think.
This is toys.
Yep.
And they're magical for some reason.
So they're alive.
I don't know if they're magical.
I guess they are.
Yeah, I don't know.
Yeah.
Anyway.
Maybe they've got human guts in them.
Maybe.
Well, at least you're Toy Story 5. Toy Story 5 Maybe they've got human guts in them. Maybe. Well, at least in Toy Story 5,
Toy Story 5, do they have human guts in them?
And are they little guts
or are they just like bits of regular-sized human guts?
Like, does Woody have like a kidney in him?
He's powered by a kidney.
He could fit a kidney in his head, a small one.
Maybe. Like a child's kidney. a kidney Yeah Or he could fit a kidney in his head A small one Maybe Like a child's kidney
Yeah
Yeah
Anyway
So
The kid
The toys
The toys you love
From all the other Toy Stories
Anyway
They're with Bonnie now
Because Toy Story 3 happened
Yes
You remember that
And then
But then
Bonnie goes to school
Kindergarten
Kindergarten
And then she makes
Makes a little friend
But Mason
It's good that you make friends
When you go to kindergarten
Isn't it?
No James
I mean
She literally made a friend
With human guts?
Yeah with human guts
It's horrifying
This series takes a turn
Let me tell ya
But no
She makes a little toy
Out of a ball
Yeah she's a little
Michael Fassbender's robot
From Alien
Just making things
Out of human guts.
Yeah, just playing God, and it comes to life.
Yeah, so, yeah.
And then adventures ensue, and old friends and lovers are reunited,
and carnivals and spooky antique shops.
Yeah.
Isn't it?
It is.
So it's kind of, it kind of must be frustrating.
Like you can't get anywhere because you're just constantly flopping on the ground,
and then a kid picks you up and throws you under a car
or something.
For sure, yeah.
Or whatever, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
How can you even die
in this universe?
I guess you have to be shredded, right?
I guess so, yeah.
Like where's your brain?
I don't know.
I mean,
it's not your head
because you've got a kidney
in there, exactly, yeah.
I genuinely don't know.
Like I don't need to explain
the mechanics of the universe.
No, exactly.
It's not a midichlorian situation. And it's also like, well, exactly, I don't know Yeah Like I They don't need to explain The mechanics of the universe No exactly And also It's not a midichlorian situation
No
And it's also like
Exactly
I don't
You know
The nagging question I have
Is like
Well surely other kids
Have created other toys
In the past
What's happened to all of them
Or is this just a Bonnie thing
I don't know
It's Bonnie
It doesn't matter also
I guess it's part of
If a kid just believes
It's a toy
It's a toy
Yeah right
But then what does that mean?
If you pick up a paperclip and go, this is my friend Terry.
Yeah.
Does that mean Terry?
He'll be like, do you want some help making your Word document?
I can help you with formatting.
Am I still a current reference?
I don't even know.
Remember the paperclip for Microsoft Word.
I need a kidney.
I'll poke it out of you.
I'll unfold and poke you. that's an action item for this week
does anybody remember the paper clip from microsoft word is he still around i don't know
does anybody just use google docs yeah everybody does i believe uh anyway it's uh spider-man's
got a new movie i've already seen it have you Have you seen it? Not yet. Let's talk about it.
Right now?
No, we can't because you haven't seen it.
We talked about this a while ago, but Marky Mark reminded us on Twitter this week, said
in a Q&A I suggested...
Wait, Marky Mark from the Funky March?
No, it's Marky Mark.
Oh.
In the Q&A I suggested you guys do a weird and alternate Spider-Man in the lead up to
Far From Home.
You guys said you'd be down.
So, yeah, I think that's a good idea.
I mean, and before the show, before this,
you asked me, like, have we done this?
I don't know.
I don't think so.
We might have done a video.
Yeah, we probably have.
I know we've done different various villains and whatnot.
Might have been villains.
Spider-Man has some of the most iconic villains of all universes.
Name one. Think of one.
Dumber 25, the chameleon.
That's quite iconic, actually.
If you love villains, Mason,
you're going to love
number eight, Hobgoblin.
I love Hobgoblin.
A guy who finds...
Fun to say, fun to look at.
That's right.
Hobgoblin.
A guy who finds
the Green Goblin stuff
and goes,
I could probably do this.
Yeah.
If you don't want to rip him off,
they'll make it yellow then.
Maybe don't put Goblin in.
Yeah, exactly.
He could have been
Corn of Cob
and made himself yellow.
The corn of cobblin.
That would be so good.
Imagine that.
I think we've found our number one villain.
I think list 25 would have already predicted it, but it's corn of cobblin.
Number five.
Here we're getting into it now.
The green goblin, but which one?
I guess Norman Osborn.
Yeah, why not Harry Osborn I guess Norman Osborn? Yeah,
why not Harry Osborn?
Sometimes Norman Osborn
is the Green Goblin
and he doesn't even know
he's the Green Goblin.
Yeah, that's right.
What do you think
of New Goblin?
Ski mask.
Awful.
Wicked,
sick,
snowboard,
but it flies in the sky.
Oh, I forgot about that.
Actually really good.
So he's number one, right?
Sword.
New Goblin.
New Goblin.
Oh, imagine if it was
New Goblin.
No, we already know it. We didn't even get a name in that movie. They just call it New Goblin. New Goblin. Imagine if it was New Goblin. No we already know it.
You never get a name
in that movie.
They just call it
New Goblin in the toys
and the McDonald's
little trinkets and stuff.
He's probably going to be
number two because
number one is
Corn of Goblin.
Corn of Goblin
absolutely yes.
And number one
Corn of Goblin.
Corn of Goblin
but coming in
just before that
is Doc Ock.
Tied for one.
Is Doc Ock. Oh yeah for one. Is Doc Ock.
Oh, yeah, okay.
Do you have opinions on the best Spider-Man villain?
Are there any in here that shouldn't be here?
Is there anything that could beat Corn of Cobland?
I doubt it.
Oh, just imagine him flying through the sky, you know?
Just throwing exploding kernels at people.
Just a piping hot cob of corn covered in butter.
Slipping between buildings.
A former army colonel, that's the twist.
Very good.
Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of the Weekly Planet Podcast, where we talk
movies and comics and TV shows.
If I sound down, Mason, it's because we just did the entire episode just now.
Oh, my God.
So we're done.
So I can go home.
No, Mason.
It's the magic hour.
I'm going to go home and get a kebab. It did not record. Oh, what? You're just telling me now. Oh, my God. So we're done. So I can go home. No, Mason. It's the magic hour. I'm going to go home and get a kebab.
It did not record.
Oh, what?
You're just telling me now.
The ad spot recorded.
Oh, my God.
Well, that's the important thing.
That's true.
We always said if we ever lost an episode, it would be gone forever.
But professionalism took over because we needed to do an ad.
It took over.
Oh, exactly.
That's right.
Yeah.
We're beholden to our masters in.
This episode is brought to you by HelloFresh.
Well, HelloFresh.
Is that who we're doing this week?
That's exactly it, yeah.
So we thought, well, why not?
You know, the true fans.
Well, HelloFresh.
They'll get their episode.
So this might be maybe a little bit shorter.
I don't know.
Or longer.
Or longer, because we're just kind of...
It'll be shorter, because we'll have to take out all this,
because we probably won't do the Seinfeld riff anymore.
That was such a good riff.
It was us existing in a world where we were both Seinfeld,
but you'll never...
Maybe we'll do it live one day.
Yeah, maybe we will.
Dueling Seinfelds.
I feel like the magic is gone now.
We'll come up with new magic.
Hey, speaking of old Hollywood.
Yes.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Obviously, it's a Quentin Tarantino movie.
So people are like, what's this hot new director up to in terms of Hollywood productions?
And now we know.
It's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
I'm a hemp for Seymour.
This is a great joke I did in the previous recording.
It is not.
This is fresh.
This is fresh and nonsensical.
So, here's something I've said.
I respect you taking a swing for the fences there
with this new guy,
out of breath Hollywood reporter.
Who's this hot new
director? I like him actually. Now that I've done it,
I see the appeal of it. Okay, good.
Well, it's yours. Thank you.
Brabs Pit.
Because of his abs.
Leonardo DiCaprio. Watch them drive around Hollywood until you can't stand it anymore.
I can't say I was bored during those moments,
but I just feel like, what are you adding to this?
Last time we didn't, speaking of what are you adding to this,
last time we didn't even talk about Pacino.
Pacino's in this.
Why?
Yeah, exactly.
What's he adding to this?
Ra-ta-ta-ta.
That's him being a machine gun.
What other things could he be? That's it. This is him being a baby's rattle. Ra- Ra-ta-ta-ta. That's him being a machine gun. What other things could he be?
This is him being a baby's rattle.
Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta.
And the presence of Channing Tatum.
Of course, Mason.
Has Channing Tatum done any Tarantino anything?
Yes.
What did he do?
It was in Hopeful 8.
There we go.
It's a bit of a spoiler, but it's been out for 15 years.
It's been out for 15 years.
It seems like 15 years.
You're not wrong, Mason.
15 bloody years in the cinema watching that bloody long-ass film.
They're making it into a Netflix series now with extra footage.
Oh, yeah, okay, right.
Spoiler alert.
When you say that, do you mean they got the existing movie?
Yes.
Okay, so they're not making a new Hateful Eight series.
No, no.
They're getting the existing movie, Hateful Eight.
Apparently it changes the whole kind of narrative.
How much footage did he film
like maybe six hours or something like that oh okay yeah so we saw five and a half of those
in the cinema we should have got him got him got him he's a good filmmaker but got him the rest of
it's just foot shots yeah it's a real soul a palooza oh very good ball a palooza toa palooza. Oh, very good. Ballapalooza? Toepalooza. Ballapalooza toe?
That's it.
That's it, yeah.
That's the world we live in, of Hollywood.
More like Hollyweird.
Oh, my God, on the way over here.
Nice.
You didn't hear it, Mason, but I... You put in some laugh track, I know.
Yeah.
No, that was real laughter.
Oh, from the studio audience.
That's right.
Finally, we got a reaction out of our studio audience.
They've been here 298 episodes. 99. Oh, from the studio audience. That's right. Finally, we got a reaction out of our studio audience. They've been here 298 episodes.
99.
Oh, yeah.
It's amazing they still have the power to laugh.
I know.
After, you know, just hearing all our jokes again.
Again and again.
Yeah, this movie is not without things that I went,
that's pretty good.
Yeah.
That's pretty good.
Is that not Pacino?
It is.
Sorry, everyone.
I just like to talk out loud.
I mean, it's quite obvious in retrospect.
It looks exactly like him, and he talks like him.
He said that rat-a-tat thing that he does.
Why am I still talking?
You guys are trying to enjoy this movie.
Hang on.
I just need to make a phone call.
If everyone could just...
Claire, can you believe this?
Anyway, it's pretty good for a lot of it.
Joker's coming up hot and fast, Mason.
Oh, my God.
We've both seen it.
Like a hot, fast delivery by a man who's Spider-Man on a little bike.
Correct.
Yes.
Because we have so many thoughts.
We saw it with, we ran into our friend Broden from Auntie Donna.
Broden Kelly.
Thank you.
The best.
From the Auntie Donna podcast and the Aunty Donna sketch group.
One of the greats.
And we watched it at the screening and we all had a completely different reaction to this movie.
Yes, that's right.
No spoilers, but different.
Make of that what you will.
Yeah.
Okay.
So this week we thought we're going to talk about edgy movies.
Yes.
Movies that came out at a time where people were like, oh my God, this is holding up a mirror to society and maybe also to me.
This movie's dangerous.
You know?
Yes.
Yeah.
So we thought we'd run through a bunch of them.
We both went away and watched similar but mostly different movies
that kind of fall into this category.
Yeah.
Do you want to open with Fight Club?
I think we both saw Fight Club, yeah.
That's the biggest one that people had recommended.
And there are some things about it which are still relevant to today.
The fact that a whole bunch of real-life fight clubs have sprung up.
That's right.
I think number one.
That's part of it.
But I think there is that thing of like the role of men in,
and Claire and I talk about this on Suggestible, my other podcast,
in society like it's-
Well, maybe I talked about it on my other podcast too.
What is it?
Big dumb idiot sits in a room by himself?
Yeah.
Yeah, people love it.
You know why?
I've found the biggest uncated to audience,
which is big dumb idiots sitting in a room by themselves.
We're rising up.
Y'all are the emeritus of society?
That's right.
Yeah, good.
And we're just in time for what, Mason?
Talking about Joker?
We are talking about Joker.
Oh, yeah.
Long time coming.
Do you want to talk box office first?
Sure.
Okay, what are the numbers?
$80 million?
Yeah, pretty good.
92.
I think I saw it twice.
You were wrong, but the fact that you even got, you said millions.
I said millions of dollars.
$80,000?
Which is just the price of the bloody popcorn and the drink, am I right?
You're not wrong.
Yeah, for me.
Upsize.
I've got to pay my bloody mortgage.
There we go.
So it's the largest October opening ever.
We do good jokes here.
We do.
It's true.
And like this movie, it holds a mirror to society and cinema.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
First of all, I thought this was okay.
Sure.
I didn't love it at all.
And there's elements of it that I really liked.
Yes.
But for me, this fell down in a lot of places.
Okay, picture this.
Yeah.
Same movie.
Yep.
But rather than a man who puts on, like, white face paint
and dyes his hair green, he puts on a tank top
and he shaves his head.
And instead of calling the movie Joker, it's called Dom Toretto.
And it's the same movie except he's like a little weak,
broken-down man and he's so afraid.
But society keeps beating him down and eventually he snaps
and he steals Robert De Niro's DVD player and he starts a life of crime.
And then all the critics are like, oh, my God,
this has redefined the street racing genre.
Oh, my God, this is such a mature take on this character that nobody would dare to do before and then you'd be like i didn't really see any street racing in this movie and they'd be like
yeah well car chases for children aren't they this movie's moved beyond that sort of that's
what it's about the human drama isn't it you're fine but it's not yeah yeah i think it's one of
the i it's just called furious actually furious and it's the same font it's not. Yeah. I think it's one of the. It's just called Furious, actually. It's just called Furious.
And it's the same font.
It's called Dominic.
Oh, Dominic.
Anyway, they made it, didn't they?
Yeah.
Also, you never asked me what the story was, so the joke's on you.
That's right.
But I'm twisting the genre on its head.
Yeah, that's true.
That's also true.
God, we're so good at this.
Was it even a review if you didn't ask me what the story was? What would you have said if I said, because you couldn't say it's the Joker.
Hypothetically, Mason.
Yes.
Or pathetically, what would you say?
I'd say it's dirty New York and there's a sad man in it.
Pretty good, Mason.
Pretty good, right?
Pretty goddamn good.
Halloween, everyone.
What do you think of that?
Nick, spooky pumpkin Mason. That's everyone. What do you think of that? Nick, spooky pumpkin mason.
That's me.
Pumpkin spice mason.
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, I'm seasonally appropriate.
It should be all year.
Was pumpkin spice the first one to leave the group?
Spice girls.
Oh, it got funnier when I explained it.
Normally that doesn't happen.
That's pretty good.
I thought you were going to be silent for the rest of the show.
I would deserve that.
Anyways, Halloween's coming up.
We're doing a showdown.
The superhero showdown is what we normally do.
Yeah, because last week we said that.
We were like, as usual, we're going to talk about the best horror movies
that have come out this year. Then we're like, we haven't seen any. Well, what did we see? We saw that. We were like, as usual, we're going to talk about the best horror movies that have come out this year.
Then we're like, we haven't seen any.
Well, what did we see?
We saw Halloween.
I've seen quite a few.
That came out last year, right?
That was last year.
I've seen quite a few.
But not enough where I'm like, I'm comfortable with it.
And also, it's not the end of the year yet, so you know.
That's true.
There's more horror stuff we could definitely do.
Well, basically what happened is we were afraid people would be mean to us because we don't
know anything about horror movies.
So instead, we would prefer that a much smaller subset of people got mad at us, which are
people who are upset that our horror movie match-ups were won by the wrong person.
That's right.
Or Anticy.
Or Fogg.
Or Frankenstein.
Yes.
There's so many Dracula's monsters coming up.
You're not going to believe it.
This is from David.
Dracula Untold versus Tom Cruise Mummy.
Two classic horror movie icons.
The matchup we were always meant to see but we never did.
That's true.
God damn.
So presumably Tom Cruise is the mummy?
Yeah.
Kiss a man to death?
Remember we could have interviewed the cast from Dracula Untold?
Oh, my God.
We could have.
Oh, my God.
We'd still be talking about it. I guess we'd still Oh, my God. We'd still be talking about it.
We'd still...
I mean, I guess we'd still talk about it regardless.
We'd still be dining out on it.
It'd be amazing.
I hate this one.
Okay, well, who wins then?
You've got to...
Dracula, because I like it slightly more.
Yeah, the same, yeah.
But that's only a personal preference.
Yeah, look, I imagine Dracula would just chop him into pieces
and then put the pieces.
Yeah.
You know, arrange them.
Make a sandcastle out of him.
Yeah, that's nice.
Is he filled with sand?
I don't know.
We'll never know.
We'll never know because we don't know what he ultimately turned into.
Does Tom Cruise have Russell Crowe?
Yes.
And he's drunk and he's spoiling for a fist fight.
But it's not Dr. Jekyll, it's just regular Russell Crowe.
That's more dangerous, I think.
Yeah.
I think a Dracula wins in most situations,
unless there's very specific circumstances.
Also, you need like a weird specific curse in a book.
Dracula's probably got that book in his castle,
but he doesn't have it on him.
No.
Oh, to un-mummify the mummy.
Yeah.
But he could probably fly back and get it.
He'd probably get some bats to get it for him.
Yeah, that's true.
So are they just waiting for various books to arrive?
And they keep bringing different books and he'd be like, come on.
It's the mummy summoning books as well, Dracula books.
Not the Country Women's Associated Mums cookbook.
That's not what I wanted.
I want the mummy book.
The book of the dead.
Not the mummy blogger's book.
You keep bringing me the wrong book, Bats.
You silly bats.
But this one from Sean Gallagher, The Thing from The Thing versus It from It.
So this is a battle of terribly named monsters.
Absolutely.
We'll say modern day It.
I got that from Joe here as well.
Well, interesting.
Does the thing fear anything?
I mean, it fears fire, but it's not the spider version.
Oh, it doesn't arrive as a spider.
I assume it just arrives as a clown.
Right, and what does the thing arrive as?
Does it have a body?
Let's say it arrives as the dog.
Okay, sure.
Because that's the first thing we see.
I don't think it matters what the thing arrives as.
No, that's true.
I think it's irrelevant.
Okay, it arrives as the dog.
So obviously it would be like, what's a dog fear?
Lightning.
Fire crackers.
I'll turn in some fire crackers.
But then maybe it thinks the thing is afraid of fire because it's a dog.
Yeah.
Oh, you don't think it can like read its soul and like,
what's going on with this?
I don't know.
Because it seems to know your innermost fear,
even if you don't speak them out loud.
Because it's like, I know you're gay, Richie.
That's true.
And it's like, yeah.
So in this instance, it knows that the thing is gay.
That's right, yeah.
Okay, right.
But the thing doesn't care.
It's not important.
Yeah.
The thing is everything at all things.
The thing is non-binary because it can turn into anything.
It doesn't give a shit at all.
Yeah.
It would come at the thing with some sort of fire
and then the thing would cower or maybe go dormant yeah like it is centuries yeah this is a long haul one and then
eventually it would be get a bit curious and be like what's going on with this dead dog and then
the dead the dog's body would just open up into a big set of jaws and just chomp the its head off
i feel yeah i might give this to the thing i think think I'm going to give it to The Thing. The Thing is so adaptable.
Terminator Dark Fate.
I don't know, man.
In all honesty, what do you think the story was?
Oh, no.
It's the sequel to Terminator 2, isn't it?
Yeah.
It's after the events of Terminator 2.
The team, the Terminator team.
The T2 team.
The T2 team.
The T2 team.
They saved the world from being destroyed on August 29th, 1997.
Oh, do they?
And now it's the modern day.
Or is it?
It is.
Yeah.
They did and it is.
How dare you question me?
But maybe there's some other Terminators in store for everyone.
You know what I mean?
Maybe there is.
Maybe there's some people coming back in time to stop the Terminator. You know what I mean? That's right. Maybe there's some people coming back in time to stop the Terminator.
You know what I mean?
Maybe the Terminator's in this.
Maybe Arnie's in it.
Maybe Linda Hamilton's back.
She is.
She is.
She's on the poster.
Do you know she spent like a year in training to get, like, to kind of get back into shape
and then they put a fake butt and boobs on her apparently.
Did they?
To kind of like fill her out a little bit.
Yeah.
She said she didn't eat carbs for like a year.
You're a husk.
She nubs the harder.
You're a husk with She nubs the harder.
You're a husk with a fake butt.
What kind of pants would you need to contain a fake butt?
Hashtag husk with a fake butt.
Hut with a fake butt.
Jab at a hut with a fake butt.
How does that work for the butts?
I don't know.
I feel like they just secrete.
They probably just secrete. Just all over.
Yes, correct.
She's still convincing as an action
hero despite not having done this for decades presumably because she's rich and she's just
like why would i yeah i wondered about that as well like what lured her back i wonder
was it the fake boobs and butt maybe it was then yoohoo somebody held them up yeah no i don't know
i think she liked the story by all accounts, but also probably money.
I'd imagine a lot of this $185 million went to her and Arnie.
It's a bit all over the place in terms of pacing and...
Can't really talk about it.
It relates to the time travel and this and that.
Which I think is, remind me,
but I think that's quite clever in the manner of another movie
that has done something similar in years past,
which we'll talk about.
Back to the Future 2. Back to the Future 2 back to the future too exactly excellent well three i mean because
he comes back in a big train it's me the terminator i'm back look at look at my big train driver hat
i'm gonna say best movie ever for this one i think it's it's pretty it's pretty decent yeah
i think it's worth a watch
Definitely
Yeah
I like that Arnold still had his old
Like 1980s operating system
Did you see his?
I don't think we did
You do briefly yeah
Okay
You went to the toilet
Did I?
You went to the toilet
Why did I go to the toilet Mason?
Because that's what you do now apparently
You don't prepare beforehand
I really didn't
Because I was running late
So all in all
They made another one didn't they?
They sure did.
And dogs eating a fly out there.
Okay, nice.
Terminator.
The other Terminators.
That's dead.
Terminators, Mason.
Yeah, Terminators, yeah.
They've done it.
We're talking about Terminator Dark Fate again this week, Mason.
We can't get enough of it.
We cannot.
I mean, the general public can certainly get enough of it.
That's right.
So I think that's interesting that this has probably sealed the fate of-
The dark fate.
The dark fate of Terminator as a movie franchise, I would say.
Do you want to talk about franchise killing movies, Mason?
Bearing in mind that's what we're talking about.
Yes.
We have no other options, yes.
The movies are just-
They really killed things off for good or at least a fairly long time, let's say.
Is that a good enough-
I think we don't have to define it.
I think we can say, look, some stuff that killed franchises,
some stuff that killed genres.
Yes.
What kills a franchise?
What puts it on ice for a bit?
Yeah.
What could bring it back?
What could bring it back?
We'll vaguely allude to all of these things.
We can't wait.
We can't wait.
We mustn't wait.
And neither can you.
Right after this break.
There's no break.
Oh, because I took a big sip of water, so I was hoping for a long break.
I was hoping for seven minutes of ads because it takes me a long time to drink water.
What about Jaws the Revenge?
Have you seen Jaws the Revenge?
No, which one is that?
Is that three or four?
That was four with one with Michael Caine.
Three is 3D.
Okay.
Jaws for the Revenge is the first Jaws movie I saw.
It's the one I probably know best.
It's the one closest to your heart.
I would say so, yeah.
It's the one that's pushing out essential information
from your brain.
Yes, correct.
It's the one where-
One day you'll be out there making your kid a sandwich
and you'll go to put the knife on the-
And you'll be like, I don't know how to do this anymore.
And I'm buttering the knife with the bread.
Oh, my God.
What have I done, Mason?
And you're handing your kid a buttery knife.
It's bad for everyone.
Because that was the- I don't know if you've seen it, but that's the one where a shark comes back
to get revenge on the Brody family.
Brody, is that his family?
I don't know.
You know, the guy, Roy Schneider from the first one.
It's Shida, but yes.
It's Rob Schneider.
Oh, hello.
We're talking about Roy or Rob Schneider.
What's up?
I want more sandwiches.
Do you want, and please be truthful, do you want a big sandwich?
I want a big sandwich.
He's done it again.
How does he do it?
All right, this time I'm definitely going to catch you, though.
Did you catch him last time?
No.
What are you doing, man?
He's got a head.
Look how far it is.
You can still get.
Oh, my God.
Look, he had a really big head start on that one.
He legitimately got away from it.
You are not trying.
Your head's not in the game.
Get your head out of this game of Jaws the Revenge and Rob Scheider
and whatever and just beat your son, beat your young son in a running race
and throw a sandwich in his face.
Like a real dad.
Yeah.
Jumanji.
We're going to talk about all the Jumanji films though, aren't we?
It's not out in Australia. The Jumanji-ology. Yes. Thatumanji. We're going to talk about all the Jumanji films now, aren't we? It's not out in Australia.
The Jumanji-ology.
Yes.
That's right.
Yeah.
I was watching it with Claire.
She fell asleep, but she always does.
And I'm looking at this hunter, right?
Yeah.
And I kept insisting to her that, like, I'd just cut that dude's throat.
Like, I'd straight up murder that guy.
Which is like, you wouldn't.
And I'm like, I would, because he's not real.
So I could.
If I'm in the jungle and he's after me, I'd stab him.
I just would.
Well, doesn't Alan Parrish show up with a knife?
Yeah, he's got a knife.
Yeah, he does have a knife.
So I think you could get away with it.
You could murder.
I mean, they do murder people.
We've seen it in the video game version.
Yeah, right.
Do you think you could murder that man?
Because I think I could.
I think I could best him physically.
He's obviously a better shot sometimes.
But if you just get within range of, you know. I reckon I could stab him. Inside his obviously a better shot Sometimes But if you just get within range
I reckon I could stab him
Inside his
You know his blunderbuss range
Does he sleep?
Because like I could find him
And kill him
I guess it would depend on the rules of
Like let's say
You were playing a board game
And there's a hunter
Like you move a piece around the board
And there's a hunter that follows you
In the rules of the board game
If you can't kill the hunter on the board game
Then maybe you just can't kill him in the game.
That's actually a really good point, yeah.
You may want to kill him.
Yeah, and he's probably superior.
Like you want to kill everybody you play Monopoly with, obviously.
But he's obviously a superior tracker and everything.
But they knock him over with paint cans in the real world.
You're saying we should kill him in the real world.
Yeah, we should kill him in the real world.
Like Freddy, you drag him into the real world.
Yeah, then you tear him into pieces. He's vulnerable to fire, so you trap him in the house and you Like Freddy, you drag him into the real world. Yeah, then you tear him in from there. You tear him up to pieces.
He's vulnerable to fire, so you trap him in the house
and you set the house on fire.
I don't know.
I just feel like you just could kill him.
Oh yeah, for sure. He's a bumbling idiot.
Yeah, that's right. This is all stuff
can be said for the new one as well.
It's absolutely still
get the thing from a fearsome warlord
kind of character. Yes.
Who's the guy from Game of Thrones?
The mountain, yeah.
The mountain from Game of Thrones?
No, the hound.
The hound.
There we go.
Yeah, yeah.
It's one of those crazy brothers.
They should have brought him in as the Mario Brothers.
Also, canonically, how old is Mario if you had to guess?
Well, in the first game it was probably 40, I assume.
All right.
Well, what's your answer though?
Oh, so like 70, let's say. He's 25. No, get the fuck out of here was probably 40, I assume. All right, well, what's your answer, though? Oh, so 70, let's say.
He's 25.
No, get the fuck out of here.
Canonically, he's 25.
He's not 25.
I learned that this week.
He's always 25.
He's not 25.
It's the mustache that throws you.
It's not just that.
It's everything.
I know.
But canonically, he's 25.
The guys from Nintendo are like, yeah, he's 25.
He's not 25.
He is.
He's 38.
Yeah, well, maybe he's lying about his age.
He might be.
Yeah.
What were we talking about? Oh, yeah, Jumanji 3. 25. Get out of here with that. maybe he's lying about his age. He might be. What were we talking about?
Oh, yeah, Jumanji 3.
25.
Get out of here with that.
I'd like to see his license.
Don't take it up with me.
Take it up with the actual Nintendo Japan.
I will take it up with you.
You're the only one here.
Okay, I'm going to tweet Nintendo right now.
I won't.
Yeah.
Star Wars Episode IX, everybody.
The Rise of Skywalker.
What did you think of this movie?
This, to me, feels like the sequel to the proposed Last Jedi remake,
the fan-made Last Jedi remake,
which at this point has acquired $417 million in pledges.
That's nearly enough.
I know, right?
For marketing alone.
I agree.
So, you know, as soon as they get permission from Disney,
notoriously protective corporation Disney,
to get that remake gun yeah
it's it's the most status quo kind of thing yeah so let's do that and they just did it for two hours
absolutely yeah uh so princess leia's returned yep i feel it looks flawless that being said
it looks like when you go online and you get like a darth vader voice sampler yeah it's like the
force is strong with you or whatever.
And she's like, someone goes to her, Princess Leia,
what should we do?
And she's like, well, if we just believe in ourself,
you know what I mean?
It just feels like.
Look, it feels.
It's like whatever they had.
It's the jerky boys.
It's you call up a pizza place.
You got your Arnold. And they're like, what would you like?
And you're like, I would like you to believe in yourself.
And they're like, okay, but what kind of pizza would you like the force is strong with you yeah i know but just what pizza do you
want and they're like jerky boys they still doing it i don't know they are on their rotary phones
yeah was broom kid in this he wasn't i think broom kid's more a metaphor and i'm glad they
left it like that yeah right broom kid is like an idea of the future. Like Egg Boy.
Like Egg Boy.
Yes.
Exactly.
Google Egg Boy.
People know about Egg Boy, surely.
Yeah, but not everybody.
You never know.
But he's a national hero.
I agree.
Yeah.
That brings me to the Knights of Ren, though.
They just had axes.
I was going to say, a bunch of classic characters.
Remember Axe Guy?
Remember...
Mesh Mask?
All I remember was Axe Guy.
I can't remember the other weapons,
but I remember one guy having an axe and being like,
all right, cool.
There is a comic on it at the moment,
which kind of explains their origin,
and it's quite good, and it's been one issue,
and I recommend it.
But maybe you want to flesh that out a bit more in the movies.
That being said, I am.
Maybe you do.
Maybe you want to flesh out some movie characters in a movie.
Yeah, it's good.
It's from good comic creators, so I'm happy to also read that, but most people won't. Maybe you want to flesh out some movie characters in a movie. Yeah, it's good. It's from good comic creators.
So I'm happy to also read that.
But most people won't.
Aren't going to, yeah.
But at least it gives them the opportunity to tell this interesting story.
Because a lot of the times with Star Wars stories and comics and books,
there's a lot of things that you cannot say.
And I think now that this trilogy is done.
The C word.
The C word for one, yeah.
But that's all their names in the Knights of Ren series.
They're all just C word one to six or however many there are.
C-word axe guy.
Yeah.
C-word spear guy.
Yeah, and I also cannot tell them apart.
Yeah.
Like, I think even with, like, if you look at the Imperial Guards,
if you look at, like, Phasma, I know who they are when I look at them.
Right.
You know what I mean?
Oh, yeah.
I only know who the Knights of Ren are if there's seven of them
standing in a row. And I'm like, well, that must be if there is seven of them. Right. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah. I only know who the Knights of Ren are if there's seven of them standing in a row.
And I'm like, well, that must be if there is seven of them.
I don't know.
Grumpy.
Sleepy.
Axie.
Seabomb.
That's grumpy.
Yeah, well, yeah.
Anyways, it is the time of year where we're talking about the best and worst of the year,
Mason.
Colleagues has been kind enough to actually put the images in here,
and this really helps.
Oh, is this best hair, best wig?
So if you are doing this survey, we've got Adam Driver in Marriage Story.
I would say Adam Driver across the board.
In terms of hair?
You can pick any of his hair.
Can I say something controversial?
What's that?
I don't like his hair.
What, what, what?
I don't like his hair.
What, what, what?
I think it's objectively bad hair. What? Yeah, that's right. He uses it't like his hair. I think it's no. I think it's objectively bad hair.
What? Yeah, that's right. He uses it to
cover his ears. It's multi-purpose.
Why can't I see his ears? Because his hair's
over it. What are you hiding, Adam Driver? His ears!
I don't like it. Okay, well, what are you going to say then?
Oh, man.
I'm going to go Adam Driver, even though
you've seen it. Time will
tell. Time will judge me,
the villain. Yeah, time will judge you, the villain, I think.
Yeah, you'll be like, what was I thinking giving him this award?
And you'll go to his house and he'll be like, give us the award back.
And give me your hair.
Yes.
What have you got in there?
What do your little ears look like?
So there is another option, but for worst hair slash wig.
It's only your guy.
It's only your guy, right?
It's that side on picture of his hair. Yeah, i've seen it it's still funny to me because everything about it is like it's it's trying to be cool and edgy
but it sucks yeah like it's it's feathered in a way that you care about it but it's supposed to
be like that you don't care it's just the dumbest fucking haircut
i've seen in maybe 20 years and i understand the context yeah i know that's that's also funny to
me he's getting in he's getting in with the the the japanese more than the the whatever they're
called what are they called the yakuza right and i understand that but like is he trying to throw
them off like i know we know you're not not Japanese, they'd say to Hawkeye.
You know, it's Clint Barton.
You gave us your name.
Not even the tattoo's fooling us.
You have the sleeve tattoo, the whole thing.
Yeah, I know, right?
Oh, my God.
Do you think the next movie that he's in will have him getting a laser off?
Maybe, yeah.
In like Tony Stark's lab, he's getting the tattoo taken off.
Yeah, maybe, yeah.
getting a laser maybe yeah in like tony stark's lab he's getting the tattoo taken off yeah he looks like a guy who dies by putting a bunch of firecrackers in his ass like a barbecue yeah
by a lake do you know what i mean no absolutely yeah it looks like he's a it even looks that this
photo here it looks like he's at a lake house and he's put them in his butt and they're lit and he's
like everyone's laughing am I making a mistake here?
No, I'm cool.
This will be legendary.
And then he explodes.
Incredible.
Good work.
That's like the predator in terms of like there's nothing even close to that.
Yeah.
Like just not even like wet, dry, up, down.
It doesn't look bad.
It doesn't look good in any situation.
You're right. Why did he do it? Surprise, up, down. It doesn't look good in any situation. You're right.
Why did he do it?
Surprise, surprise, everybody.
I bring this up every now and then.
I don't like to do it too regularly.
Oh, can it be?
It's hate mail, but the hate hasn't hated it.
Yes.
Now, for those people who don't know, you do the show all,
you just don't really listen that closely.
That's fine.
But hate mail is based with hate. I disagree.
It's not fine.
The hate hasn't
hated it
get among it

DredgedShred65 says,
Two Aussies talking shit about Stallone and Arnold.
Also, we say a lot of positive things.
It doesn't matter.
Yeah.
Do we rubbish Arnold?
I don't think we do.
I think we mentioned him.
Yeah.
Either one was better than Mick, brackets, Crocodile Dundee.
Oh, my God.
Did he burn our national hero, Crocodile Dundee?
He's on the $50 note.
Write that down, you two wankers.
Lol.
Nice.
Got us.
Judson Gayden says, this is more of a kind of a general comment on the movie itself.
I just thought this might help people out and kind of flesh out the world for us.
Okay.
itself. I just thought this might help people out and kind of flesh out the world for us.
Okay. You're not going
to talk about the stocks remaining folded
on the AKMs and the AMD
65s.
Those stocks should be unfolded so the rifles
can be fired properly from the shoulder.
Personally, I find stuff like that
insulting. Can you believe we
didn't bring that up? Oh my god, we didn't think about
extending the stocks.
Also, it's Rambo. He's firing machine guns.
Yeah, I know.
It doesn't.
He fights a horse with a tank or whatever.
A tank with a horse or whatever.
Variation on that.
Daniel said.
Oh, my God.
Imagine if he fought a tank with a horse.
Imagine if he fought a horse with a tank.
That'd be so manly.
Just splat it like a tube of toothpaste.
You wouldn't see a soy boy fight a horse with a tank, would you?
Are you kidding me?
I would love to see a man fight a horse with a tank.
Right?
It's incredible.
You'd kill it in so many ways.
It would burst like a tube of toothpaste.
Daniel says, so we have two gay clowns here who doesn't like the Rambo movie.
Oh, and we have to get them some gay porno movies that they can like.
We'll get our own gay porno movies.
You don't need to ship them over.
We'll be fine.
We've got the internet.
We just Google gay porno movies, please.
That works, right?
It's a lot.
This is the last one.
Oh, my God.
All right, here we go.
Yeah, sorry.
I didn't make up so many.
But also, the thing is, why would you leave any gold on the table?
That's all I'm saying.
And also, this doesn't come...
Sometimes we don't get any hate mail for ages.
Yeah, that's it, man.
Oh, does Rambo...
This is from Call Me Kenneth.
Exclamation mark.
So, oh, does Rambo hurt your delicate sensibilities?
Toughen up, manginers.
This movie is the tits.
Hard-boiled action at its finest.
If limp-wrist douchebags like IGN and the rest of the soy-chill media
are complaining about the cultural this and misogyny that,
that then you can rest assured that the movie has everything
that these wastes-of-oxygen bitchboys lack.
This is all caps.
A pair of huge swinging balls.
So we need a pair of huge swinging balls between us.
That's right.
Yeah.
It ends on this.
Yeah, here we go.
Oh, it's still going.
Yeah.
I'm going to watch it twice.
Let's talk about the new one, I assume.
But again, we didn't mention that in this one.
Once with an erection and the second time with your wife.
Wow.
Well, it's good he's keeping his erection away from your wife.
Do you think he could sustain two erections, though?
For what?
One long erection.
That's 200 minutes.
Yeah.
With two showings of that movie.
He's more of a man than either of us, Mason.
That's very true.
I'm ready.
This has happened over a series of years, it would seem.
Someone called Scott Reacher.
And it starts as regularly as anything. It's probably related called Scott Reacher. And it starts as regularly as anything.
It's probably related to Jack Reacher.
He could very well be.
I hope he's not as dangerous, Mason.
Scott Reacher says, but what if I want to see year one?
I want to see year one.
That's on a video about something about Batman movies.
Okay, cool.
Next one says, someone please tell me where the Skeletor dance video is from.
I'm just painting a picture.
I'm setting the scene.
Wait, are these separate comments?
These are separate comments. Okay, so this is all in the one video. I'm just painting a picture. I'm setting the scene. Wait, are these separate comments? These are separate comments.
Okay, so this is all in the one video.
No, this is a different video over a series of time.
Oh, I see.
Because you can click on a person's name
and you can get the whole...
Okay, right.
You can run a search so we can get the whole back catalog.
So this is back in time.
That's the first thing he ever said was,
what if I want to see Batman in one?
And then, what's the Skeletor Dance from?
And then this next one says,
this comes across as very nitpicky
and this episode feels very rushed.
It was on a video about the most pointless CGI in movies.
The next one is, talking trash about Cutthroat Island, real cool.
Thumbs down.
And did he give you a thumbs down?
Gave me a thumbs down.
Okay, right.
That's great.
Did we say something mean about Cutthroat Island?
I did in the review for Pirates of the Caribbean 5, I guess.
I don't remember that.
Next movie, talking trash about Iron Fist.
Not cool.
That's a video where we talked about how Iron Fist is a dummy in his own series.
Yeah, right.
Next video is...
Did he give you a thumbs down for that?
Yes, he did.
Hang on, what was the thing he said?
He keeps repeating himself.
He says...
Talking trash about.
Talking trash about.
Okay, right.
Next one... Do you think that's his catchphrase? Not on himself he says talking trash about talking trash about okay right next one
do you think that's his catchphrase
not on my watch
talking trash about this guy
not on my watch
you think that's his catchphrase
but he has a different catchphrase
oh I'm ready for this
it's become very apparent
next one is on
five franchises need to die
from that video
he says
how about
five reasons
Mr. Sunday movies
need to be stopped
emoji of a hand
doing the stop
yes
and does he provide five no lazy i agree at least
you're making videos you know i mean you should stop but the fact that you continue to make them
is you can at least type them it's not that difficult is it right exactly next video on
geostorm we're talking about geostorm and the death of those um that type of film talking trash about twister really cool mr sunday movies next video uh is the one that i made about uh with the lightsaber
that lightsaber ad that i made for that oh yeah for like jedi yeah yeah he looks like a scumbag
too the circle is complete what i like about that one is because he has made an assumption there
that you've read all of his comments because he's like,
looks like a scum.
Like he's not talking to anybody.
He's like, looks like a scumbag too.
But here's the twist.
You have now read all his comments.
I have.
I stumbled across one and often I'll be like, what's this?
Is this a tip of something?
Oh, this guy's good.
Yeah.
This guy, this guy is the Mr. Glass of your existence.
Because he has planted a seed.
He's woven it through.
This one is about every Easter egg in The Force and the Last Jedi.
Mr. Sunday Movies equals SCUMM.
All capitals.
Each letter has a space between it.
Is it because you're not responding to any of his?
I don't know.
You don't know.
That's right.
This might make him very happy.
I hope so.
Unless he doesn't listen to the podcast,
which is quite likely. Which is very likely.
This one is on my video, Star Wars is Ruined, where I
just talk about every...
It's a criticism of The Last Jedi,
but it's not real. It's just like
going back through and picking a dumb thing out
of every Star Wars film. Yeah, right. You can complain
about anything. It's not a real video.
It's a satire. It's a satire. Very good.
I said, Mr. Sunday Movies is ruined.
Ho, ho, ho.
You're lucky
you didn't
create a video
called Star Wars is cancelled
because then you would have
been cancelled.
I've been cancelled.
And you know,
if somebody says you're cancelled,
you're out, right?
This is all the Easter eggs
from Ready Player One.
You missed Escape from New York.
Unsubscribed.
Next video.
I bet you said
you didn't fit into
all the Easter eggs. Mr. Scumbag Movies. I bet you it's infinity to oyster eggs.
Mr. Scumbag Movies,
Footloose isn't the greatest movie ever.
Me, unsubscribed.
Thumbs down.
Wow, he double unsubscribed you.
He did.
Wow.
Next video on the best 80s action movies.
Temple of Doom doesn't have problems.
Mr. Scumbag Movies has problems.
Winking face.
Unsubscribed.
This is on my Deadpool 2 oyster egg video. When Mr. Scumbag Movies makes problems. Winking face. Unsubscribed. This is on my Deadpool 2 Easter egg video.
When Mr. Scumbag Movies makes fun of Bambi, thumbs down.
Next video.
Did you make fun of Bambi?
I guess I did.
I don't remember a lot of the stuff I say.
His mother is dead, James.
His mother is dead.
I know that.
I've never seen it also.
Wow.
This is the video on the future of Star Wars.
Boba Fett versus Maul would definitely be something worth seeing.
That would be quite impressive, actually.
Now that I...
Actually, pretty good,
because one's got a jetpack and lasers,
and the other's a double lightsaber.
That's right.
They're both masters of their particular fighting styles.
That would be very interesting.
Agreed.
You cannot argue with that.
I don't.
You cannot argue with whatever this guy's name is.
I've already forgot.
Scott Reacher.
Next video on Stop Making Batman Movies, he wrote,
how about Stop Making YouTube Videos?
Is that directed at you or directed at everybody?
Yes, that's me.
It's got five likes as well, to be fair.
He's building.
Look, he may not be building a rapport with you,
but he's building rapport with your subscribers.
And you better watch out because eventually the next one's going to be
more like Mr. Dumbass Movies and it's going to have 200,000 likes.
And then they're going to be like, he's going to create a different-
This groundswell of-
Yeah, yeah.
He's going to create a counter channel called Mr. Reacher Movies.
Yes.
And he's going to take all your subscribers.
and he's going to take all your subscribers.
He may have... The movement may have lost some momentum
because this comment,
talking trash about Smallville, huh?
Only has two thumbs up.
And every comment from here,
the seven or so that are left have no thumbs up.
So I think he had his moment.
He had his shiny moment, yeah.
Because it's all about timing, isn't it?
Totally.
You get in first and then people see that comment
and be like,
I was going to say Mr. Sunday Movies, kill yourself,
but before I do that, I'm going to like this comment.
Correct.
And every version of Spider-Man from Spider-Verse, he wrote, it's sacrilege what he says about Spider-Man 2099.
More like Mr. Scumbag movies.
Aquaman is lame.
Definitely needs to change his channel to Mr. Scumbag movies.
People donate clue, you misinformed twats.
That's you.
You're it on that one.
Oh, nice.
Cool.
Mr. Scumbag's Movies likes to talk trash about Aquaman, huh?
I like Aquaman.
Yeah, I like Aquaman.
Yeah.
The Neo scene is badass.
This is from recently we talked about.
Oh, we're CGI.
Yeah.
You are poorly misinformed, Mr. Scumbag Movies.
One word.
And the last one is from Marvel Ultimate Alights,
where we made fun of that video game.
A lot of people, by the way.
That's their favorite game of all time, apparently.
I stand by it.
Yeah, I stand by it too.
Okay, it's official this time.
Mr. Scumbag Movies, it's time to stop.
It's official. It's locked in. Well, look, we had a good run, didn't we? But Movies, it's time to stop. It's official.
It's locked in.
Well, look, we had a good run, didn't we?
But I guess if it's time to stop.
It's over.
Yeah.
I love the unsubscribed.
Yep.
He's bailing.
He's got a nickname for me.
Mr. Scumbag Movies.
But it's tied into my YouTube name as well.
I don't know if you noticed that.
It's not an accident.
If somebody could knock up a Mr. Sc scumbag movies t-shirt really quickly maybe it says talking how about talking trash about mr
scumbag movies i don't think so i'd like that a lot me too all right that's that's saying it's
your face coming out of a bin yes could i have a banana peel on my head yes you can great well
it's up to the artist but i I have to. Sure, yeah.
Obviously, it's creative interpretation.
Yeah.
That guy's probably fine, right?
Yeah, I like him.
Good.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
Oh, he's back.
How many sandwiches is that now?
How many have you had?
How many sandwiches can a young man eat? You're still eating a sandwich right now.
What would you like?
I want more sandwiches.
Okay, one more.
I think this one is going to prove to your undoing, young man.
I feel like.
He's already off.
He's already off.
He's already taken off.
Yeah, this one is going to end in tears.
This is my prediction.
I didn't get him.
He had a really good head start on that one.
Come on.
You saw him take off.
He was full of sandwich.
He had so much sandwich.
I 100% the next time he's going to come in crying.
I guarantee you. He's just doing this for the fame and attention. I think% the next time he's going to come in crying, I guarantee you.
He's just doing this for the fame and attention.
I think he's doing it for the chase, genuinely.
He really likes to be chased.
Okay.
But you know what it's time for now?
Oh, what's it time for?
What are we reading?
Oh, what are we going to read?
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
I'm doing the same thing.
Yeah.
I'm doing the same.
I'm doing a theme What are we reading today?
Great
Great
What have you got?
End Game is number one obviously
Bit of a bloody cop out mate
It's like the time I said Game of Thrones
Last week
Last week
Have you been watching the Game of Thrones?
No
I'm going to watch it at the end
Like every single time.
Well, if you want after this, while I edit this podcast,
you can just watch the first episode at my house if you want.
Okay, then.
If you're not doing anything, I'll just put it on.
Sounds good.
All right.
Okay.
Will anyone make me a big sandwich?
No one's making you sandwiches, mate.
No one's making that.
I just want to have a big sandwich.
We'll go down the road and get a big sandwich. Yeah, go into a shop and ask have a big sandwich. When we go down the road and get a big sandwich.
Yeah, go into a shop and ask for a big sandwich.
See how that goes down.
What do you want on it?
Doesn't matter.
Big sandwich.
I'm going to do it toddler style.
Big sandwich.
Big sandwich.
Big sandwich.
And then I just wave money at them until they make me a big sandwich.
What are you reading or going to read?
I think I'm going to read?
I think I'm going to watch Neon Genesis Evangelion. It's on Netflix.
It's on Netflix now.
It's re-dubbed apparently.
Okay.
I wouldn't notice.
About time, I say.
Didn't like that old dubbing?
You've not seen it, I don't think.
Let me just say, Mason, about time.
Is this a new version of a character
Guy who knows everything
About Ultraman
Except this guy
Who knows everything
About him
Yeah okay
It's a guy who knows
Everything about anime
I love him
What's your stance
On subs versus dubs
Mate it depends on
Obviously the era
That it's from
That's good
Great
Yeah look
And there's good examples
Of both
This new dub
Of Evangelion
Yes Which I think as I said earlier,
that's what I prefer.
About time.
It's about time for that.
But if you want to get fanatic about it.
And you would because you're the guy who knows everything about anime.
Subs all day, baby.
Yeah.
He's nailed it.
Anyway, you are going to watch it.
How many episodes are there?
I know, but how many do you think there are?
He reached the limit of his knowledge, but he got it all right somehow. How many episodes are there? I know, but how many do you think there are? He reached the limit of his knowledge, but he got it all right somehow.
How many episodes is there?
Yeah.
35 or something?
Is that all?
I can check.
I'll check.
I just remember it feeling like more because it's such a rich narrative.
Oh, yes.
All right.
Yeah.
And this is also the retelling.
Is that right?
I don't believe so.
Yeah, I know.
Oh, you're going to be this guy.
Which anime do you think it is?
Yes.
Where they say, don't watch the original one.
There's 26 episodes.
Okay, wow.
Yeah, right.
I'm going to have to re-watch this.
Yeah, nice.
I love that.
I also read Batman Damned, three issues, the final issue.
Did you get the Dong version or not the dong
version i think i got i think i got a post dong or there was an update to the file maybe that
i can google that's what you got to do what you had to have done is to go on a comiXology
because for anybody who doesn't know about this the first issue of batman damned yeah famously
you could see batman's dong in it famously and then it's got the american flag on it that's right
and then i guess they recalled various editions and they printed out a and then it's got the american flag on it that's right and then i guess they
recalled various editions and they printed out a version where it's yeah and so the now in comic
book collectors guides it's gonna have to say batman damned issue one dong or not dong yeah
that's right uh but what you had to do if you got the digital version obviously you'd have had to
get it on your ipad or whatever and then then like turn turn it to airplane mode and take the sim card
out and snap it in half that's right so no one can ever take it away from you.
I believe it asks you to update the comic, though, doesn't it?
It's like, hey, there's a new version of this.
Whenever it says that, I'm like, no.
Absolutely not.
I've read it and no.
Yes.
I want to see the dong.
Okay.
What is, I don't know the plot of Batman Down.
It's a different reality and it's like a weird nightmare kind of scenario.
Constantine is the narrator.
Having read the third issue.
Dongstantine. Dongstantine, thanks. The first one came out. Having read the third issue. Dongstantine.
Dongstantine, thanks.
The first one came out, I believe, last year.
Dongstantine.
I couldn't remember.
I replaced John with the word Don. I got it.
Yeah, nice.
Dong, Dongstantine.
You did it all.
You changed it all, didn't you?
That's right, I did, yeah.
The first one was like
last year so I don't
remember
okay
and then when this one
opened I'm like
I don't remember
he opens in a
it opens where he's
in a coffin
and I'm like
I don't remember
this at all
huh
so I'm gonna read it
again before I could
give any kind of
proper analysis
or opinions
you ready for this
yep
Bruce Wang
instead of Bruce Wayne
I get it
you get it
that's good
it's good right yeah's good, right?
Yeah.
What have you been reading?
Obviously, you've been working on Wang puns.
Yeah.
Obviously, all week.
Just scribbling in my little bloody notebook here. Yeah.
Oh, I'm going to start watching Preacher.
Oh, yeah.
Dominic Cooper was just in Melbourne recently.
We missed him.
For some kind of con or whatever?
I think so, maybe.
He's conning an old lady out of a boat.
Yes, exactly.
Yeah.
Like Superman Returns, Mason.
Oh, yeah.
No, I get it.
I get your reference.
But I mean, there's three seasons out.
Super Dong, Radongs.
I could do it.
Nice.
Well, yeah.
Yeah.
I thought I was the only one who could do it.
Yeah.
I should have said Super Wang Radongs.
Well, you've said it now and you're in control of the edit so you can do whatever do it. Yeah. Should have said Super Wang Radongs. Well, you said it now.
And you're in control of the edit so you can do whatever you want.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
What was Dominic Cooper in Australia for?
I think maybe he was promoting some sort of like, go to the Northern Territory, you know.
Go to a luxury resort in the Northern Territory.
Okay, Dominic Cooper.
I guess I will.
Yeah, I guess.
You know?
Good on him.
The only new thing is that I watched the new Shaft, 2019's Shaft.
Oh, I saw you watched that.
Which is in Australia.
It's on Netflix somehow.
In Australia, it went directly to Netflix.
In America, apparently got a cinema release.
It's actually pretty good.
I've heard nothing but bad things.
Really?
Isn't it all jokes all the time?
And people are like, this isn't Shaft.
Not even the 2001 where he beat up Christian Bale.
It's better than the 2000 Shaft.
It's way better than that.
You should watch the 2000 Shaft again.
I've seen it.
It's got a really good cast.
Yeah, but it's bad.
You're bad at making good comments about 2000 Shaft.
Yep, that's true.
You're not wrong.
What do you think of that?
It's good, yep.
There's a great scene where he beats up like a street thug kid in the first one.
Oh, yes.
When he's like-
2000 Shaft?
2000 Shaft.
You should watch it.
I think you should watch it.
Have you seen it?
Yes.
Watch it, Mason. What are you doing with it? 2000 Shaft? You should watch it. I think you should watch it. Have you seen it? Yes. Watch it, Mason.
What are you doing with it?
What is this?
It's all right.
Who's this new character?
Guy who likes 2000 Shaft too much and recommends it to all his friends.
I'm not saying it's the greatest movie.
When was the last time you saw it?
A couple of years ago, I reckon.
I have seen it.
I'm not...
You haven't seen it.
I have seen it.
Christian Bale's in it.
I know.
Playing the same character from American Psycho.
Jeffrey, whatever his name's in it.
Yeah, I know. Christian Bale's in it. I know. Christian Bale's in it. I know. Playing the same character from American Psycho. Jeffrey, whatever his name's in it. Christian Bale's in it.
I know.
Christian Bale's in it.
I'm aware.
American Psycho.
Maybe you should watch Shaft 2019.
I will.
I saw it and I went, good, because I did want to see it, because I like Shaft 2000.
We should coordinate this more, because usually most weeks it's one of us going,
hey, you should watch this, and then the next week it's the other person going.
But this week it's us telling each other to watch different shaft movies yeah but the modern interpretations exactly yeah yeah somewhat yeah
anyway watch watch new shaft i will okay uh you should watch stranger things season three we'll
probably talk about next week okay cool yeah let's do it i'm probably a couple in it's good
and you've seen the whole thing no it's only like three okay that's good it's a good amount
i wasn't listening i know you're thinking about shaft 2000 thinking about you thinking whether
you're wrong and you are Maybe I am wrong
Maybe you should watch
Shaft 2000

Joel Singleton directed it
I don't believe
First Fast and Furious
I don't believe anything
You say now
Boys in the Hood
Yeah I remember
Other movies definitely

I can't believe you like
Shaft 2000
I'm going to ask you
One more time
Do you actually like
That Shaft movie
Yes I do
I'm going to ask you
Off air
And figure out
If you're doing a bit
I'm still not going to Believe you People should write in Whether they like Shaft movie. Yes, I do. I'm going to ask you off air and figure out if you're doing a bit. I'm still not going to believe you.
People should write in whether they like Shaft 2000.
I'm not saying it's amazing.
That's not what I'm saying.
It's a product of its time, et cetera, and so forth.
Okay.
But I think it's better than you think it is.
Okay.
Or it's as good as you think it is because everyone's opinion is different.
It's true.

Well, listen, on the way over here, I've been listening to it recently.
Our friends over at BatchBitch, I've been listening to that as part of the Planet Broadcasting Network.
This sounds like an ad, but it's not an ad.
I was like...
It's an endorsement.
It is an endorsement because...
It's a lifestyle brand.
Our friends Naomi Higgins and Danielle Walker host that.
They're super, super funny.
You might know Naomi Higgins from the Gamey Gamey Game show on YouTube.
I do know that.
And you might know Danielle Walker from just being funny in general.
That's true.
Their podcast where they talk about all things of The Bachelor and reality TV.
It's not really about The Bachelor or reality TV.
They're just being funny.
Yeah, well, no podcast is really about the thing it's supposed to be about.
Thank God.
In the tradition of great podcasts.
Exactly.
But what I didn't know is that basically all the women,
in the case of The Bachelor, have to go on leave from their job
or quit their job or just not have a job.
And they all move them into the house for a period of months.
And some of them don't get dates for like two months.
Exactly.
And all they do is they just wait in this house for this golden man
to show up and be like, I choose you.
And put him in a helicopter.
Oh, my God.
And then, yeah, exactly.
And it's just kind of like.
I love Brett Silverstein.
And it's such a, I didn't know that it was such a...
I'm going to Google Brett Silverstein
in case he's like a murderer or something.
Okay, right.
Okay.
And then you'll really love him.
But then it's like this cult environment.
I had no idea.
And I'm curious as to whether they're built from the ground up like a cult.
They're like, okay...
Brett Silverstein, rate my professor is the second result.
Oh, Jesus.
Rate.
I said rate.
Okay, well, that's all right result. Oh, Jesus. Rate. I said rate. Oh, okay.
Well, that's all right then.
Yeah, absolutely.
Interesting.
Anyway, Batch Bitch is a really good podcast.
It's super funny.
I was just listening to it on the way here, and I'm bloody loving it.
So get into that, I reckon.
Okay, what I'm going to recommend this week is Brett Silverstein,
a professor over at the psychology department of the City College of New York.
How's he being rated over there?
He's got a 4.3, which is not bad, but a lot of really positive reviews.
Apparently the difficulty level of his class is around a 3,
but the overall quality is verging on a 4.
It's not all glowing reviews, but I think considering the amount of people
who would have taught, 4.3 is not actually bad at all.
Hey, quick side note.
What are you actually recommending this week, you son of a bitch?
You don't like my second take at this Brett Silverstein gag?
No, I like it.
It's so good.
This is the first time I've done this.
Is it?
Who knows what's real anymore?
You're like, do you think this Brett Silverstein gag will play the second time?
I'm like, absolutely it will play.
What are we reading today, Mason?
Here's a question for you.
I love questions.
Should I get the remastered Ghostbusters video game?
Never played it.
Yeah, neither have I.
And probably.
Yeah, because, well, I love original Ghostbusters.
Yeah.
And this is, of course, the real sequel to Ghostbusters 2.
But it's also one of those, it's kind of like they had to build a plot
around revisiting a lot of the old stuff from the movies. It's like, well, I've stayed above Marshmallow Man and capturing Slimer again and whatever. Yeah, there's that painting of those, it's kind of like they had to build a plot around revisiting a lot of the old stuff from the movies.
It's like, well, I've stayed by Marshmallow Man
and capturing Slimer again and whatever.
Yeah, there's that painting of that guy.
I don't think Viggo the Cowboy, or maybe he is.
No, the painting is in it.
Oh, good.
Yeah.
They obliterated that painting.
Didn't it become like them?
Yeah, it became like a religious painting with the Ghostbusters
and a baby, I think.
That makes sense.
Makes a lot of sense.
Doesn't make sense.
And the guy from Abbey McBeal was in it.
Abbey McBeal?
Ally McBeal.
Abbey McBeal.
Abbey McBeal.
She never made it.
That's immediately become a thing that now,
no matter what happens at this point,
I'll be like, hey, James, you want to come to the movies?
And you'll be like, is Abbey McBeal going to be there?
And you'll be like, no!
No!
You're also going to get tweets like that now.
Hey, look, I'm at the movies.
And you make your cool Gemini man post where it's two of you.
One on the left, Abby McBeal.
Abby McBeal.
Abby McBeal, what were you thinking, Mason?
No!
Weekly Planet Crying Edition, starring me.
I was going to say contained within this segment, obviously,
what we read, and I think it's now a regular feature,
is our feature, Who Watches the TV Show Watchmen,
parentheses, James and Mason, asterisk,
Weekly Planet Podcast.
It's a good show.
If somebody could knock that up in the Watchmen font,
that would be really good. Yeah. Also, do you reckon we should edit this into a spin-off podcast
just a four-minute podcast of us going i think it was good i think it was pretty good it was good
yeah what's your spin-off podcast gonna be it's hard to think of a podcast idea isn't it it really
is yeah one of claire's idea was every week we research a different like climate crisis thing
and we talk about it.
I'm like, get the fuck out of here with that.
I would never do that.
Like planet board casting.
That's what I said, Mason.
Because we'd be so bored by that.
We try and sneak it into the pop culture.
We can't make it the main meal.
That's right.
What are you talking about?
I said to Claire.
That's right.
Like planet yawn casting.
Thank you.
That's right.
It's good.
Maybe I do some sort of get to sleep podcast called Planet Yawncasting. Thank you. That's right. It's good. Maybe I do some sort of get to sleep podcast called Planet Yawncasting.
Well, Alistair Trumby-Virtual does Shusha.
Well, yeah, Shusha does it, yeah.
And his would be better than yours.
Oh, cool.
Yeah, but do you think it wouldn't be better?
No, his would be better.
Might I just be like, go to sleep, for God's sake.
If you can hear this, you're awake.
And that's the wrong thing to be right now.
You should be doing the right thing, which is being asleep.
You're getting more and more wired the more you're awake.
You've got a big day tomorrow.
If you don't have the right amount of sleep.
You probably have some big presentation to do at work.
This is, you're making a mistake and you continue to make that mistake.
If I try shouting.
Do you want to talk about The Mandalorian?
Yeah.
It was all right.
Wait, our famous segment, who watches the TV show The Mandalorian?
James Mason.
Asterisk, weekly fan of podcasts.
If somebody could make that into a Star Wars font or an opening crawl,
I would appreciate it.
I guess if I had a complaint of this show,
it's that why hasn't anybody strangled that baby yet?
That's my one complaint.
My second complaint is, Mason.
Five minutes ago you were like, oh, my God,
I can't imagine anyone ever having a child.
Then you're like, I'll strangle this baby.
Well, it's green.
It's not like me.
Yeah, that's true.
It's got your bloody ears though, mate.
I'll tell you what.
It's got your bloody ears, mate.
I'll tell you what.
Also, everybody's got cool jetpacks.
Some people have cool jetpacks.
Why doesn't Amanda Lorien have the jetpack?
Well, that's what he says.
He did.
He goes, I've got to get me one of these rad jetpacks, Mason.
No, I want one.
I'm flying.
He's not flying yet.
Anything else, or do you want to do the next segment?
Let's do the next.
Oh, wait.
No.
Let's continue to talk and fill for a little couple more seconds, hey?
I'm ready to go.
What do you reckon about that?
I'm ready to go. I don't reckon about that? I'm ready to go.
I don't need to wait.
I'm happy to roll into the next episode.
I just want to make sure we haven't forgotten a single darn thing.
I don't think we have.
Actually, no, let's do letters.
The classic one was,
Letters, oh letters, we love you.
Some letters, they're only a take away.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Great theme song.
Not as good, bear in mind, as the Defenders of the Earth theme song.
Defenders of the Earth.
Defenders.
Out of the sky, his rockets ignite.
Jets into battle, flying faster than light.
Flash cord.
Lord of the jungle, the hero who stops.
The beasts call him brother, the ghost of war.

I need to know if you're a lifelong fan.
Oh, yep.
So since they've been born.
Okay.

So we decided to get matching tattoos.
So Sam and Dominic, they've sent through photos. They've got matching mad ghost tattoos. So Sam and Dominic,
they've sent through photos,
they've got matching
mad ghost tattoos.
Oh, wonderful.
Is that a shin?
That's an ankle tattoo,
I believe.
I love it.
Yeah.
Unless he's got a really
weird shaped arm and hand.
It might just.
Could be a neck.
Could be a really long neck.
Yeah.
Sure, we have done
the mad ghost bit.
Is it Jeff Johns'
production company?
I think it is.
I was going gonna ask you
i don't remember any of our jokes so so this thing you've permanently attached to our bodies
we're fairly confident is the name of jeff johns's product comic mad ghost ghost
i like to think the logo is a man in a sheet with two eye holes and a sideways hat yeah oh nice yeah yeah yeah and
the hat is on rollerblades the hat the hat has the beer cans in it okay and they go down like
the straws come down but then the beer is just spilling out because there's a ghost
just spilling out below like a slimer like a slimer yeah oh that's wonderful and now you have
that forever that's pretty good well that was a quick answer to that.
I thought we'd have some more banter, but I guess we don't need it.
No.
We've had plenty in the past.
Go back to a previous episode.
What have you got?
Let's see.
Here's an email from Philip Prager.
I'm ready, Prags.
Hey, guys.

We know you know.
Well, he said Phil.
Look, it doesn't matter.
What do you think about Disney Plus?

Now I want to know.
He said Phil, but maybe Philip is for business purposes.

Yes or no.
It's yes or no.
Just Philip.
Yeah.
Or Phil.
Phil.
Is your name Phil or Philip, yes or no?
Yeah.
Is the question.
Like the screwdriver.
What would you think about Disney Plus doing a Bandersnatch style marvel show maybe deadpool or the punisher
that would work for those particular characters in particular deadpool deadpool yeah right like
your universe breaking or like a spider ham or like someone weird like that yeah right right
somebody fourth wall breaking yeah it could be like it because they used to be marvel choose

I remember.
Oh, was that a brand?
Choose your own adventure.
Like a particular brand?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah, choose your own adventure.
They were a brand of books.
I will choose my own adventure.
I'll read a better book.
How about that?
If only you'd thought of that 20 years ago.
That's just come to you now.
Somebody was like, why don't you read this Choose Your Own Adventure book 20 years ago?
And you're like, okay.
And then you've just snapped awake now.
Maybe I'll choose the right one.
Oh, they're gone.
They're gone and they're dead.
They were my school librarian and they're dead now.
They're gone and I'm 35.
How did that happen?
I think they'd be more inclined to do it as like an animated thing.
Yeah, right.
Because I remember very specifically,
there was a Doctor Strange Choose Your Own Adventure style book. And it was like, there's. Yeah, right. Because I remember very specifically there was a Doctor Strange
Choose Your Own Adventure style book
and it was like,
there's some bank robbers.
Do you want to use this spell,
this spell or this spell?
And you're like,
they all sound similar.
I'll use this one.
And it's like, you're dead.
How was I to know?
I hated that, yeah.
I thought that was going to work.
There's no clue.
I thought the winds of Watum were going to work,
but it just flung me into a cement mixer.
You know? That wouldn't even happen to Doctor Strange. Right? I thought the winds of Watum were going to work, but it just flung me into a cement mixer.
That wouldn't even happen to Dr. Strange.
You should have chosen to read a different book.
Got him.
Let's find who wrote those books and we'll email them.
Maybe I'll choose to read a different book.
Guys, would you choose to read a different book?
Yes or no?
This is Ross, Ross Lawhead.

Sometimes I look at like-
Watchmen is kind of the classic.
Yeah, right.
Is that 12?
That's 12.
I knew that because it's an anime.
So-
Oh, no.

It's pretty cool that you know those things.
So, I got another tweet here from Salford citizen hashtag weekly planet pod am i the only
person who's starting to think that this am i the only person who's starting to think that this phase
four of the mcu is going to be difficult to keep track of am i the only one movies movies set in
the multiverse tv show spin-offs TV shows in parallel universes, brackets Loki,
and what if scenarios?
What the hell?
There's too many what if scenarios.
We've done it.
That's how dueling Seinfeld.
Yep, there it is.
Impersonation is back.
Yeah, it is confusing.
Yeah.
I think that kind of, they market themselves as like, yeah, you can just go and see this.
Yeah.
Except for Endgame where you had to see the previous one.
Yeah.
But that didn't hurt it at all. That's true. It's the most successful movie of. Yeah. Except for Endgame where you had to see the previous one. Yeah. But that didn't hurt it at all.
That's true.
It's the most successful movie of all time.
Except for inflation.
In many ways it's helped.
Yeah, exactly.
So, yeah, it's probably not.
Just keep up.
Yeah.
Just keep up, mate.
Oh, my God.
Can't you just keep up with all these movies and TV shows?
There's too many TV shows.
Just listen to the Weekly Planet Podcast.
We'll help you out.
That's all you need.
Jerry, which show do I watch?
What if?
But don't I need the background of the original stories of these characters?
In many ways you do.
It was a bad example, Jerry.
We're both Jerry.
We're both Jerry.
The least likeable character in the TV show Seinfeld, yes.
Both their character.
This is from Seth Morland for your podcast intro, it says.
Okay. Just use a recording where the word not is inserted before shooting up your butthole. That's not a bad idea, yes. Both their character. This is from Seth Morland for your podcast intro, it says. Okay.
Just use a recording where the word not is inserted before shooting up your butthole.
That's not a bad idea, actually.
Then it will no longer be inappropriate as nothing is going up anyone's butthole.
Thank you, Seth.
Actually, I do have a tweet here from Bernard related to the theme song.
It says, change the theme song to the Defenders of the Earth theme song.
The Defenders of the Earth.

You can't hear that, Mason, but I can hear it.
I was trying to find a point to go Lothar, but I couldn't.
I've shortened it.
Oh, I see.
Right.
I've done my own edit.
Okay.
Right.
Right.
Here's one more.
Here's some more life events.
I love life events.
Wedding bells.
Thanks for helping this kick off, guys.
This is from Micah Germania.
You might remember him.
We proposed to his girlfriend.
Me and you.
We went out there. Oh, I thought about it. We went to his girlfriend. Me and you. We went out there.
Oh, I thought you meant we went to their house.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Will you marry all of us, we said.
That's right.
All three of us got down on a knee.
Hey, mates, last night I had the best night of my life.
I was able to marry my best friend, Caitlin.
It was such an amazing night.
I want to take a minute to thank you guys for being there from the beginning.
I must have had 50 people tell me last night how they went and listened to the proposal
after they heard about it.
Really?
So they went back and listened to the... so, look, we'll take those listens.
Absolutely.
We'll take those downloads.
How many do you think stayed?
If everybody could subscribe.
If you get all your wedding guests to subscribe.
Great.
That's amazing, right?
Good stuff happening today.
Yes.
No more bad news, anybody.
No, just good news.
Just all good things forever.
Good news.
Yeah.
Love it.
I should get married.
Oh, wait.
You should get married.
Let's go to the tape
Oh why did I do this
What's that a recording of
That's not from the show
That's me opening too many 7ups
Okay well we've all got regrets don't we
We've opened too many
7ups in here
This room veritably
stinks of 7-Up.
You know that 7-Up tang?
Anyway, it's been 300 shows somehow.
That's right.
We've done it.
And it's great.
I was going to say people said we couldn't do it,
but nobody said anything.
People were, I guess, somewhat bemused that we got this far.
I'd imagine if that's probably the maximum level of interest.
But no, it's because of this and the YouTube channel as well,
but this I feel has really built a really lovely community of people.
Absolutely.
And mostly positive, I feel.
Because, look, we try not to bang on things too much
and kind of bring too much negativity to it.
But I don't know.
I know I say this every time we hit a milestone,
but I genuinely appreciate that this is my job.
And the biggest part for me is that I can get to be home with my family.
You know, I can live, you know.
Thank you.
Yeah, thank you is what I'm saying.
But I can live comfortably, you know, through support of this.
As long as I don't, like, do something horrendous and get cancelled,
then I'd love to keep doing this for as long as possible.
Well, surprise, here's all the stuff you cut out of the podcast.
I've been saving it on my phone.
All the horrible things you've said.
That's the episode 300 bonus content.
But if you want to sign up to the Patreon,
I'll put it all up there.
The stuff that's going to get James cancelled.
But, yeah, we have the nicest community on Facebook, I feel.
We've got a Facebook group, Planet Broadcasting, Great Mates,
and it's just funny,
nice,
smart,
civil conversations about all this stuff.
Cause like in the grand scheme of things,
we're just talking about movies and comics and TV shows.
Then it doesn't need to be fights over this sort of stuff.
We're all just here wanting to see some nice movies and see everyone,
not just see themselves represented in movies and have a nice time and just have a bit of fun.
And it's great to see that people are on board with that.
Yep.
And we also both agree that it's also PC gone mad.
Oh, my God.
It's absolute PC gone mad out there.
We're the only ones.
We're at the vanguard of fighting back against PC gone mad.
As you'll find out when you subscribe to the Patreon
and hear about all the stuff James has been saying over
the years that I've recorded and he hasn't
known about. Anyway, do you want to bring the show
to a close, Mason? Yes.
Thanks everybody who's telling friends
and subscribing
and give us a nice review.
I was going to say a couple of stars
on iTunes. That's not enough stars.
No, as many as you can fathom.
As many as you can fathom, exactly.
But five would be ideal, I think. Yeah yeah i agree yeah subscribe and tell tell tell a friend yeah just just shout at him yes i agree yeah if you see him picking up their phone slap it to the
ground and say don't you dare pick that up unless you're going to immediately subscribe to the
weekly planet and give them the maximum amount of stars the maximum amount of stars having not
that really does help though like it moves us up in the charts and gets visible.
And it gets people off their phones.
That's right.
Exactly.
Yeah.
And that's what's important to me.
Exactly.
Yeah.
More like anti-social media.
That's what I said also.
Because, like, you can go FaceTime where you could get face-to-face.
You know what I mean?
You're absolutely right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You get on Facebook where you could read books face-to-face.
Good point. Yeah. you get on Facebook. Or you could read books face-to-face. Good point.
Yeah, it's pretty good, right?
Very good.
Yeah.
You could go on Instagram or you could...
Have a gram of Coke.
With your friends.
Yes.
You know?
Instantly.
Instantly.
You could go on Twitter or you could have a gram of Coke with your friends.
Instantly. Exactly. You know? And tweet about it. You could go on Twitter or you can have a gram of Coke with your friends instantly.
Exactly.
You know, and tweet about it.
You could go on Snapchat or if someone's chatting with you, you can snap their head in a bear trap.
Because you're on Coke.
You're on Coke, you'd have very easy access to various maiming weapons used for capturing big game.
Please continue with your wrapping up of the show.
Where do we wrap this up?
I forgot.
You stopped at iTunes.
That's true.
Anyway, iTunes.
Anyway, if you want to say hi, if you want to email and let us know a more effective way to end this podcast.
All right.
I was going to say a catchphrase.
Sorry.
Wow.
You should say your catchphrase. All right. What is going to say catchphrase. Sorry. Wow. You should say your catchphrase.
All right.
What is my catchphrase?
Who ate all my biscetti?
Yes!
He's done it!
Oh, my God.
Oh, my goodness.
I completely blanked there.
Oh, my goodness.
It's been a long time between bowls of biscetti.
That's right.
Should we build you some sort of 7-Up-based catchphrase?
I hate this.
That's really good.
We could even make that like the New Planet Broadcasting tag
at the end of everybody's episodes.
I hate this.
James, how are you feeling now?
Oh, man, I feel so much better.
I feel like my personality isn't the kind of person that I'd want to be
at this point in my life.
I mean, thank God, I guess, that'm 55, I guess. And I've accomplished. No, wait.
You're doing great. I guess I am. You're the co-host of a podcast. That's true. Yep. Co-host.
Host, what did I say? That's fine too. Yeah. Look, I'm just happy that everybody got to
experience presumably
all the fun times we had in 2019.
What do you know about yourself now?
What do I know?
I mean, you're just a series of memes ultimately.
Yeah, I'm unnecessarily angry.
I'm not very happy as a human being.
I hate most of my peers and family for some reason.
And I do this because I probably got fired from teaching.
Confirmed. Which is just to be clear, I wasn't fired from teaching. Confirmed.
Which is just to be clear, I wasn't fired from teaching.
I left.
His memories are back.
I mean, they're not accurate anymore.
But, I mean, look, let's just go with that if that makes you happier
in your life.
It does a little bit, yeah.
Excellent.
All right, look, we'll be back, won't we, very soon for our first episode
of the year officially, which was this.
But what is it again?
My memory is legitimately gone still.
Most anticipated movies. That's absolutely right.
2019, 2020.
Whatever fucking year it is.
We're in the 20s! That's right!
Oh my god, so exciting. It's going to be
a big year. So yeah, I'm not sure exactly the
date that we'll be back, but we will be back, won't we?
That's right. At least a week off. Oh my god,
let's celebrate with a bottle of champagne.
I'll just get these glasses from up in this top shelf.
Oh, my head.
What am I doing here?
What's going on?
So basically I get 100% of the ad revenue.
Sounds great to me.
See you soon.
Grab that jab, you guys.
We'll see you next week.
Goodbye.
Have we done amnesia before?
I think we have.

How is your tummy, young man?
How is it?
I'm going to have to cut some of these out, right?

It might be five or six, yeah.
I didn't catch him.

I hate this.
