Starting point is 00:00:54 Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of Caravan of Garbage, where we're making our way through the Tom Holland Spider-Man trilogy. Aye! That's the face he makes at the end. I mean, you can't tell. Sorry, say that again. I talked over you. James, James. I'm sorry! What a terrible start. No, it's good. Go on. That's the face he makes at the end. I mean, you can't tell. Sorry, say that again. I talked over you. Go. James, James.
Starting point is 00:01:06 I'm sorry. What a terrible start. No, it's good. It's really good. Where was I? You said aye. He's the face. I did say aye.
Starting point is 00:01:12 No, I talked over it again. Oh my God. Total silence. Aye. Like the face he makes at the end. You know the movie? That's what he does.
Starting point is 00:01:19 Although, you know, you can't see his face. No, but it's definitely happening. He's not as expressive yet as like an Andrew Garfield. Oh, okay. You know, we're in happening. He's not as expressive yet as like an Andrew Garfield. Oh, okay. You know, we're in the Garfnaissance. Yeah, sure.
Starting point is 00:01:28 With Andrew Garfield and those movies aren't very good. No. But he's good. He's got that theatrical vibe to him and he moves in a very expressive way. He's a long-limbed fellow as well. That's true, yeah. That helps. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:42 You think Tom Holland physically. Yes, he's short and stout. Like a teapot. Like a British teapot. That's true, yeah. That helps. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You think Tom Holland physically... Yes, he's short and stout. Like a teapot. Like a British teapot. That's right. Here's a Spider-Man teapot from the internet. We've found one. Available for purchase, presumably.
Starting point is 00:01:54 That's right. Please leave a like because we are looking at Spider-Man. He's gone to Europe. That's right. And let me tell you, Mason, when they get on that flight and they're like, oh my God, an eight-hour flight to Venice. That's an absolute bullshit flight. I flew to Venice from Melbourne. Oh, yes. I'm still on that flight and they're like, oh my god, an eight hour flight to Venice. That's an absolute bullshit flight. I flew to Venice from
Starting point is 00:02:05 Melbourne. I'm still on that flight. Wow. That was in 2008 Mason. My goodness. So you missed Iron Man. I missed it. Actually, I did see Iron Man in Rome that year. That's a true story. Subbed or dubbed? I basically went around Rome for one of the days I was
Starting point is 00:02:22 there looking for a cinema that would do it in English. And I found one, Mason. That's terrific. Yeah. And they had an intermission. I love that. Where I got an espresso and a big pizza pie.
Starting point is 00:02:32 Sorry, you got a what? An espresso? Yes. All right. Espresso machine. You bought an entire espresso machine. Shut up, Mason. Okay.
Starting point is 00:02:40 Anyways. Anyway, Far From Home. First of all, all these titles are too confusing. What's happening here? I hate them. Yeah. Every time we go, what are we recording next week? Oh, Home From Home. First of all, all these titles are too confusing. What's happening here? I hate them. Yeah. Every time we go, what are we recording next week? Oh, Home. Oh.
Starting point is 00:02:50 Call it European Vacation. Yes. Unbelievable. Though I will say this, because I hadn't seen this since it came out in cinemas. I wasn't really super interested in going back to it. It's pretty fun. It's a fun one. I think so too, yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:03 Great villain. Mm-hmm. Great Spider-Man-ing. Great villain, James. Don't you mean great hero? Remember when they tried to trick us? Yeah. Or maybe the internet was ablaze
Starting point is 00:03:11 and it's like, oh no, maybe they've changed it. Not everything in the MCU is exactly like the comic books. Maybe Mysterio. Maybe that guy with the big fishbowl head who sprays green smoke everywhere he goes. Maybe he's a good guy.
Starting point is 00:03:24 Maybe he will actually be a good guy in this. Maybe that's the trick. Maybe that's Mysterio's trick. Maybe he's a good guy. Maybe he will actually be a good guy in this. Maybe that's the trick. Maybe that's Mysterio's trick. He'll be a good guy. He'll be a hero in this. Yeah. He's not. No. Why would you think that? And the other thing is, the first trailer for this was released in January of 2019 when Spider-Man was canonically
Starting point is 00:03:39 dead. After Infinity War, yeah. So it spoiled that a little bit, didn't it? Well, maybe the MCU isn't exactly like the comic books and maybe he would stay dead and Spider-Man Far From Home would be about the big hero Mysterio. Could be. That's right. Even though Spider-Man is in the trailer. But maybe that's Ben Reilly. It's from the comics.
Starting point is 00:03:56 But you don't do everything like the comics. Maybe Mysterio cloned Spider-Man earlier and he would turn him into Ben Reilly. It's all references from the comics. It's all different in universes, isn't it? Anyway, Tony Stark is sort of back in the sense that he's dead, but he left Spider-Man a fleet of killer drones for some reason. Just shut that down.
Starting point is 00:04:16 If you're dying, if you die, you have a little thing that says, if my heart stops, the drones all explode. What are you doing? No matter where they are on Earth, they all explode. But, I mean, I think that's... A psycho in death. You would think that, oh, the legacy is, you know, the wisdom he passed down to Peter Parker. No, the legacy is the satellite full of killer drones.
Starting point is 00:04:34 That was what he was like in life, and that's how he'll remain in death. Yeah, fair enough. Just circling the globe, delivering death to people who don't deserve it. Like school kids and so forth. Yeah, absolutely. Or you don't think that guy deserved it because he was a bit of a bully?
Starting point is 00:04:48 Oh, that's a good point. Yeah. Yeah, drone striking. And he was pretty handsome and he was trying to be like, he's trying to be kissing MJ, but that's not his responsibility. That's true.
Starting point is 00:04:54 He's not the main character and he should know he's not the main character. Don't stay in your lane. Stay in your lane, supporting characters, which I liked about this. Everybody has a fun little side story. Again, I think that works with the teen movie angle. I think that was a lot of fun.
Starting point is 00:05:09 You know, we get Ned and Betty and they're having that whirlwind romance in the background. I thought that was fun. Martin Starr's teacher is having a series of mental breakdowns because his wife faked her death during the blip. That's a bit of fun. J.B. Smoove thinks everything is the result of witches. A lot of fun.
Starting point is 00:05:26 Which is not incorrect a lot of the time in this universe. It's true, actually. Yeah. Well, speaking of Mysterio, again, another villain created by Tony Stark, who we see bopping around in the background in a few scenes, actually. That's fun. They should do that all the time. Just put him in different movies?
Starting point is 00:05:40 I mean, him or any new villain. Just put him in the background. Absolutely. That guy who tells Spider-Man to do a flip, make him a villain. He did that flip too good. He embarrassed me in front of my friends. I'll get my revenge one way or the other. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:05:54 I do like everything that they're doing with Mysterio in this. Again, like you said, not everything has to be exactly like the comics and this is that. Certainly because it's Gyllenhaal. It's super handsome, super charismatic Jake Gyllenhaal, whereas in the comic books he's normally like a... He's a freak. A grubby SFX guy. Yes, exactly.
Starting point is 00:06:12 Yuck. A real loser. Yeah. Why else would he put the fishbowl on his head? Yeah, exactly. Not clean it. The dirty fishbowl. He'd just lick the inside out.
Starting point is 00:06:19 That's fine. That's a good point. But yeah, I mean, and, you know, that's what you want to do in this universe if you want to convince Peter Parker and the world at large that you are a hero from another universe. Got to be handsome. Got to have that designer stubble.
Starting point is 00:06:32 Got to look good in a turtleneck. Got to look good. Looking sinister in the background. I like how his look and his story borrows a lot of like iconography from other superheroes. There's some Doctor Strange style like glyphs in his smoke magic. He's got an Asgardian kind of cape. Like Captain America, he's like a soldier from his world from another time or whatever.
Starting point is 00:06:52 It shouldn't be green smoke, though. You don't think so? That's the clue that he's evil. Yeah, yeah, you're right. Should have been... A less sinister smoke. Yes, like yellow. Yellow smoke's good.
Starting point is 00:07:01 It's yellow smoke. Exactly. Anyway, Jake Gyllenhaal, he's really good in this because he is convincing as like this stoic, heroic villain. You know, he's got the look as mentioned and all of that. And then the moment when he turns, when Peter Parker leaves the bar after he gets all the killer drones that Tony Stark left him.
Starting point is 00:07:19 Just crazy. Yeah. Really good. Bringing back a little of that Nightcrawler vibe. Oh yeah, absolutely. Not Marvel Nightcrawler, the different Nightcrawler. Some people watching these videos haven't seen any other movies. But there's a movie called Nightcrawler that he's in.
Starting point is 00:07:34 Yeah, X-Men 2, I've seen it. I'm one of those people, Mason. I haven't seen other movies. But I loved how his team it's basically like a visual effects unit. And they're made up of former stark employees and ralphie from a christmas story oh my god is it first iron man i saw that in road mason oh you did so i love that but i was kind of hoping they'd point to more people and
Starting point is 00:07:57 we'd recognize them from previous movies yeah right because it's just him that's true and then like this is so and so from whatever and it's like i don't's true, yeah. And then like, this is so-and-so from whatever. And it's like, I don't know her. And this is Pepper Potts. What am I doing here? I don't know. Yeah, I just think that idea of Mysterio being a team of people. Oh, you could have got a Stan Lee cameo in there. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:08:16 Well, you couldn't. We'll talk about why. You died. Oh, right. Yeah. But just the idea that to make something like this come to life, it's difficult. You'd need a team of like 20 people to make this happen. You could do it?
Starting point is 00:08:29 I could do it. You reckon you could do it? Yeah, I reckon I could do it. With enough green smoke and a big enough fishbowl for your dumb head? It's all about misdirection. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you want to do it now or do you want like a few days
Starting point is 00:08:39 to get a big enough fishbowl? I'd need a big fishbowl and a big misdirection. Sure. Yeah, let's wait. Okay okay let's wait fantastic also the illusion stuff is it's just terrific and i mean in terms of i know it's like we're in a marvel hologram universe that doesn't make any sense sure but i mean visually when he traps spider-man in that that weird illusion it's just very good and a lot of stuff from the comics that you might see and there's zombie tony stark and he's in his head at one point it's yeah it's great it's it's snow globes within snow globes oh my god that's too many i think there should have been just one shot of
Starting point is 00:09:13 spider-man just flailing wildly in just a regular environment just a spare room just yeah because what does that look like from the outside do you just see the drones i guess yeah yeah my goodness yeah and i will say this as well i know you think tom holland doesn't flail enough Yeah, because what does that look like from the outside? Do you just see the drones, I guess? Yeah. Yeah. My goodness, yeah. And I will say this as well. I know you think Tom Holland doesn't flail enough. He's not as flaily as Andrew Garfield. How can you get a teapot to flail? It doesn't work.
Starting point is 00:09:33 Yeah, you're right. You're absolutely right. You hammer it out a bit. You flatten it out. It's got a bit of wiggle to it. In this movie, he's more like a mocha pot, though. Okay. The traditional coffee maker of Italy.
Starting point is 00:09:43 Do you want to put espresso in that? First of all, mocha pots don't even make espresso, James. It's similar but not the same. I don't drink coffee, Mason. I'm just built differently. I drink a lot of coconut sugar instead. Yeah, that's true. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:56 Yeah, I think Tom Holland's performance in this is really good. Like he gets totes of motion in this, you know, multiple times. Yeah. And I believe that. I mean, Andrew Garfield can get Totsimoche when he dropped his girlfriend off a clock or whatever happened in that movie. But I think Tom Holland is giving him a run for his money here.
Starting point is 00:10:11 I can't believe I dropped my girlfriend off a clock. I'm real beat up about it. Yeah. I mean, he didn't drop her, but he didn't catch her. I want to call her. I know you want to have her. Yeah, yeah, it's all about misdirection. You think I'm going to catch her over here and, oh, no.
Starting point is 00:10:27 Oh, no. Oh, no. No, I know you had thoughts on the suit last week in terms of it's blue and red and black. Yeah, I don't like that. But this time around, he's got a new suit. He makes it. Well, he's got so many new suits. He's got the Iron Spider suit, obviously, that he keeps in a little beehive.
Starting point is 00:10:41 It's all buzzing away. No, that's from the movie Endgame. It came out before this, actually. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. This trilogy happens. There's Spider-Man at school, and then Spider-Man goes to space and disappears for five years, and there's a world-ending cataclysmic disaster,
Starting point is 00:10:54 and then he comes back, and then he goes to Europe. That's exactly right. Would you keep that in your closet? Just this buzzing iron spider nanite suit? It looks like it's trying to hammer its way out of this thing, and it's filled with tentacles and instant kill modes and all sorts of stuff.
Starting point is 00:11:08 You don't even know what's in there. No. And it would be buzzing. It'd be buzzing all night. It'd be buzzing, wouldn't it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:13 You'd put a sheet over it, but the sheet would get hot. Yeah. As women, our life stages come with unique risk factors, like high blood pressure developed during pregnancy,
Starting point is 00:11:24 which can put us two times more at risk of heart disease or stroke. Know your risks. Visit heartandstroke.ca.

Starting point is 00:12:27 Is that going to start a fire? Yes. God. Look, I like his night monkey suit, his stealth mode suit. He doesn't really need to bring the Spider-Man suit over to Europe. No, he doesn't use it, does he? But we need scenes where he's in the suit talking to Mysterio. Oh yeah, I forgot about that. And we need the visual gag where the
Starting point is 00:12:43 customs person opens the briefcases. And says, Mamma mia, you can't bring a banana into Italy. We don't do that here. That's right. You know,
Starting point is 00:12:49 they don't have bananas in Italy. That's true. Wow. You haven't been. You don't know. I'll wait. That's alright.
Starting point is 00:12:55 Oh god. Has this all been leading up to this? Yeah. Just you talking about how you went to Italy that time? Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:13:01 Well, that's great. Yeah. Well played. It's all about the misdirection. I thought I was part of a YouTube channel that talks about movies and comic books and TV shows, but you were just tricking me into doing that. Sway to do this.
Starting point is 00:13:12 Yeah, wow, that's incredible. You're a real Mysterio. Absolutely. So we got this night monkey suit, and then he builds his own, well, builds. He tells the machine to build a black and red iron. He calls his dad's friend who brings his private jet with all the stuff in it. And he says, build me another one that's even better. Yeah. Oh, you've got options here.
Starting point is 00:13:34 That one. That one's good. Pretty much the same one except it's red and black now. Yeah, exactly. The colors of the Essendon bombers, he said. Oh, my God. Please. Yes, please.
Starting point is 00:13:43 I think also, as always, though, Happy Hogan is a great inclusion in this. Agreed. He's just a lot of fun every time he pops up, and this is no exception. He even gets a little bit of a run around, which he's known to do. They let him do that every now and then. That's right.
Starting point is 00:13:54 And of course, he gets a little romance. He feels pity for that old hag Aunt May. It is. God, and he's like, I guess. Yeah. I mean, I guess i could be the new surrogate dad to this boy yeah he's horrible aunt yuck this bit aside this is where they really lean into like we've we've made a mistake casting the objectively incredibly
Starting point is 00:14:18 beautiful marisa tomei in this role as a as someone who's supposed to be like a like a with an old crow. A shriveled up old lady. So they're like, well, put her in like big grandma glasses and like out of style clothes. It's not going to work. No. There's nothing you can do.
Starting point is 00:14:34 You're going to have to kill her. Yeah, you've got to have to. You can put a pair of knitting needles in her hand. It's not enough, I'm afraid. They'd be like, she's serving knitting needles. Absolutely. They'd be like, she's serving knitting needles Absolutely I think also the finale Where it's Spider-Man fighting a million billion drones
Starting point is 00:14:51 You'd think that wouldn't be as interesting as it actually is It's a lot of fun and he's overwhelmed And trying to make his way through this Not just the illusions, but all of those have machine guns, etc That's true, yes That's great And just their confrontation on that bridge at the end. And I love before the fight, he's just like,
Starting point is 00:15:08 look, he's just a guy. If I could just get to him, I could just hit him. I hit him one time. He's a man. Now he has control of Edith, the killer satellite, the killer Stark Industries murder satellite. Maybe I could borrow one of Stark Industries' other murder satellites. Maybe I could just do murder satellite versus murder satellite.
Starting point is 00:15:25 Absolutely. That's a great idea. Maybe I could just... I bet Stark Industries has one of those ones where they just drop the big iron bar out of space. Oh, okay. Just into London. Just kinetic energy just blows up London. And then, you know, Mysterio's in there somewhere.
Starting point is 00:15:41 You get him. Just drop one of those. Yeah. Or maybe just launch the 50 Iron Man suits that are just in the archive. I don't know. Exactly, yeah. Anyway, look, we can't go down that road
Starting point is 00:15:52 because that's every one of these movies. They were busy. Well, they say that in this movie, don't they? Yeah. All the Iron Man suits were busy blowing up other supervillains in other places around the world. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:16:03 Whatever Justin Hammer was doing, etc. Yeah. Now, there's a couple of twists at the end of this there's fake nick fury fake maria hill situation and there are a few hints in this movie that like this is not the real nick fury because he clearly doesn't know what he's doing and they hand wave it away as being like well he was snapped and he you know he wouldn't be caught up but that being said after watching secret invasion the regular nick fury would probably handle this about the same right he has lost his head doesn't know what he's doing yeah yeah no i think that show really just points out that he never really had it and he just had a bunch of scrolls everywhere really right i guess that was his thing really very disappointing yeah it is and the other one of course is there's the identity reveal whoa it's kind of like you know iron man 2008 when he's like
Starting point is 00:16:44 i am iron man or whatever when i saw that in rome it's kind of like, you know, Iron Man 2008 when he's like, I am Iron Man or whatever. Oh, yeah. When I saw that in Rome. It's kind of like that, but it's thrust upon him. You know, much like the responsibility of being a superhero
Starting point is 00:16:51 is thrust upon him by Iron Man. Whoa. There's some parallels there. I don't mind. Oh, you don't mind? No, I don't mind. You let him get away with it this one time?
Starting point is 00:17:00 Yeah. And, of course, the return of J.K. Simmons. Yeah, exactly. It doesn't really get any play in the next one, really? No, not particularly. It's a shame.
Starting point is 00:17:08 I mean, he's in it. Do you think the lack of hair, does that detract from the J.K. Simmonsness of it all? No. Because they clearly did it very last minute and they're like, no time for makeup, we're going to shoot this in a cupboard. Sure, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:20 This is a big secret. Like we do all the time. With everything. Yeah. But apparently him coming in Didn't miss a beat, just was straight back into character Totes profesh I mean, how do you replace him?
Starting point is 00:17:32 I feel like they had the same problem with The Garfield movies, the Bill Murray ones Sure They had exactly the same problem with the Garfield movies And the previous Andrew Garfield Spider-Man movies, they just ended up Not casting him, because they're just like, how do we top this?
Starting point is 00:17:47 We don't. You know, that's true. Look, at the time, I think somebody suggested get Marc Maron. I think that would have worked. But I think that's more niche. I think. Yeah. Like that.
Starting point is 00:17:55 I heard Ice Cube at one point. Yeah, right. I think that would absolutely work. But I think it does. Like, I think a certain percentage of the viewers would be like, oh, my God, Marc Maron. But I think a lot of people are like, what are you? What is that? But to get Simmons back, I think a certain percentage of the viewers would be like, oh, my God, it's a nightmare. But I think a lot of people are like, what are you, what is that? But to get Simmons back, I think is wonderful.
Starting point is 00:18:08 Yeah, I mean, he's got the WTF podcast, and he was also in the movie Joker, famously. That's true, yeah. He was friend to Robert De Niro, famously shot in the head in that movie. So, yeah, it kind of leaves everything up in the air about what's next for Spider-Man if his identity is out there, which it has been multiple times before. Also, like, just get someone else in the Spider-Man if his identity is out there, which it has been multiple times before. Also, just get someone else in the Spider-Man suit and go,
Starting point is 00:18:28 look, I'm here and he's there. Yeah, that's right. Look at him, he's jumping. He's jumping and I'm not jumping. I'm Peter Parker and I'm not jumping. That's not Daredevil. That's me. Not me.
Starting point is 00:18:39 I'm me. That's Spider-Man and not Daredevil. But he doesn't know any guys who can jump. I guess he doesn't. They're all dead. Anyways, it's time for Spider-Home Trivia from Man. This is the trivia section of the show. I love this.
Starting point is 00:18:52 Here we go. I just got a few here. So this is the first MCU movie not to have a cameo by Stan Lee since he died. Didn't film one. Though I feel like we're rapidly approaching the point where we're going to see a 3D scanned Stan Lee. Oh, scan Stan. Scan Stan coming and going, hello, everybody. Remember me?
Starting point is 00:19:08 I'm dead. No. Is that what he's going to say every time? He's going to have to. Yeah, I guess. Give it real to life. Yeah. Just a bit of reality in these movies, please.
Starting point is 00:19:18 We've all had some fun today, but remember, I'm dead. Also, apparently Jake Gyllenhaal, he loved the costume of mysterio right so there's a scene where he's like somebody get this stupid costume off me but apparently he insisted for a lot of this of just like now i'm gonna wear it i want to wear the big stupid costume it is a big stupid costume i like us i feel like gyllenhaal is a little bit like a ryan gosling he just wants to do different roles yeah just to to try it out like he wants to do an action movie or in a thriller movie in a an ambulance movie and i was gonna say an ambulance movie and a superhero movie just to try it out. Like he wants to do an action movie or a thriller movie. An ambulance movie.
Starting point is 00:19:47 I was going to say an ambulance movie, a superhero movie just to try it out. Will he do another one? Very unlikely. Maybe. Well, he could technically come back as Mysterio if he is dead because a team make Mysterio. He's mostly holograms in that. That's true.
Starting point is 00:20:01 And I guess technically he is in the next movie for a little bit. That's true. Also, I mean, I'm sure we talked about this, but Tobey Maguire was nearly recast in Spider-Man 2 That's true. And I guess technically he is in the next movie for a little bit. That's true also, yes. Also, I mean, I'm sure we talked about this, but Tobey Maguire was nearly recast in Spider-Man 2 and they were going to pick Jake Gyllenhaal. That was the situation for a time.
