1:05

back everybody to another episode of the Weekly Planet where

1:07

we talk movies and comics and TV shows. My name

1:09

is James, also known as Mr. Sunday. And with me

1:11

as always, Nick Mason's here. It's great

1:14

to be here. We will have mad respect for. Thank

1:16

you. You were saying that earlier. He was even saying

1:18

that off air. That's not true actually. No he did.

1:20

He opened the door and he said, Mason

1:22

I've got mad respect for you. That's what he said.

1:24

Why would I do that? And then you did that

1:26

disrespectful thing where you crack open a can

1:28

of soda. Why the disrespectful? I don't know. It just

1:31

feels like it is. Is it disrespectful to be caffeinated

1:33

on a podcast? Or am I

1:35

giving everybody the best version of myself? That's

1:37

actually true. Yeah. You're right. Yeah. That's the

1:39

only way we remain alive and awake

1:41

on these podcasts. Even though you've questioned my ability to

1:43

do a podcast or open an account, I still have

1:46

mad respect for you though. Thank you. I

1:48

need you to know that. God, what an impenetrable

1:50

layer of an intro this is. It doesn't make

1:52

any sense. No, it doesn't need to. But

1:56

we are going to be talking about this week, Mason. I

1:58

should say also. Oh yeah? You also. Get

2:00

the candy you can seal it up as a table

2:02

because what you know what I was thinking just as

2:04

this podcast started What I would do is like

2:07

I was thinking as

2:09

soon as you hit record I would grab the

2:11

cannon I would crack it open so you can't

2:14

do it But you're a step ahead just step

2:16

ahead and you keep it out of there. So

2:18

I can't even say it I'm calling you good.

2:20

Yeah mad respect. Thank you mad respect goes both

2:22

ways. I think that's the message of this podcast

2:24

mad respect But only if someone

2:27

has mad respect for you, that's true I who I

2:29

mean one of you have to say it first in the

2:32

hope that the other person has mad respect Look, it doesn't

2:34

matter Mason. We're gonna talk about the boys episodes one to

2:36

three this way If you're out there and there's maybe you're

2:38

in school. There's a girl you like you should go up

2:40

to him and be brave and say Listen, I got mad

2:43

respect and respect. Yeah, I just hope she says it back.

2:45

Yeah, I love that Don't worry about it Also

2:47

in the news leading up and there'll be time codes below

2:49

Rob Collins who edits this he takes care of all that

2:52

You know be talking about the passing of comic story

2:54

and Ben Potter Which is very

2:56

sad news. Are we gonna get into blade?

2:59

So there's you there's movement on the blade front. No,

3:01

there isn't backwards movement

3:06

Which is ironic oh wait, oh it looks

3:09

forward and but it's also moon. Yeah, okay.

3:11

I'm fine. He's easy via the moon And

3:13

he's also like he's in the midnight suns.

3:16

Yes. Yeah, that's good. That's why

3:18

the vampires are always out at night They're always right.

3:20

I have fleeing the moon Was

3:22

I gonna talk about Dwayne Johnson's New Deal

3:25

at Disney Released

3:27

oh, yeah release dates for the penguin

3:29

an update on the Batman part one

3:31

or two and three Parts

3:34

just don't worry about it. I read the commandos

3:37

got the release date Trailer

3:39

for watchman watchman is back what's

3:41

what who watch like the watchman

3:43

trailer? Furios are being

3:45

pulled from cinemas JK Rowling potentially

3:48

selling Harry Potter to Warner Brothers

3:50

and of course Zack Snyder himself

3:52

Some rebel moon update. I love that. Yeah, and

3:55

it's big news Big

3:57

news nice. It's big and you we have mad

3:59

respect for him That's so true. Alright, we're gonna

4:01

start with this. Do we? Yeah.

4:04

Like genuinely. Yeah, I think so. I think we

4:06

might. Yeah, he's doing it. He is

4:08

doing it. Can't argue with that. You can't argue

4:10

with results. No. You can't argue with

4:12

rotten tomato scores. You can and people do. Oh yeah. Always,

4:15

constantly. So yeah, this is really sad news.

4:17

So Ben Potter, who people would probably know as

4:19

Comic Story and he passed away in a car

4:22

accident at age 40 last week. So

4:24

Comic Story and if you listen to this, you're

4:26

probably aware, he's got a YouTube channel where it's

4:29

basically breaking down various comics and various runs and

4:31

just over the years he's been doing it for

4:33

10 plus years. Hugely successful.

4:35

I would say very responsible for introducing

4:37

a lot of people to comic books.

4:39

Absolutely, yeah. Because they can be quite

4:42

impenetrable a lot of the time. You've

4:44

got 50, 60, 70 years of comic

4:46

book history or what have you and he was

4:48

very good at sort of breaking it down and

4:50

being like, if someone was like, oh, I'm interested

4:52

in Daredevil or what have you, he'd have a

4:54

brief and entertaining rundown of that character and

4:57

then he'd be like, oh, I feel I could do it

4:59

now. Absolutely. Yeah. He

5:01

was really good at, yeah, not only introducing comics,

5:03

but also his community was great as well. I

5:06

think similarly to this one, there is that idea that

5:08

you don't need to know everything about comics.

5:10

Everybody starts somewhere. That's true. So

5:13

it was very accessible in this way. You

5:15

start by knowing everything, James. Oh yeah, you

5:17

start. Yeah, you're right. I'm just going to

5:19

read this message from his wife, Natalie Potter.

5:21

So two days ago on June 8th, my

5:24

husband, Ben Potter passed away in an unfortunate

5:26

accident. To many of you, he was

5:28

comic story and voicing stories from across multiple different

5:30

mediums to his loved ones. He was one of

5:32

the best and most supportive individuals anyone could have

5:34

asked for as a husband, a son, a brother,

5:36

a friend, or even just as a stranger. Ben

5:38

was loving and genuine. He was someone who would

5:40

listen and make time for his loved ones. He

5:42

would do his best to make everyone laugh and

5:44

make sure they were okay. He was out rock

5:47

and he'd reassure his loved ones whenever they needed

5:49

it. He was my world and I need time

5:51

to be with my friends and family. I have so

5:53

many things I need to figure out, but firstly,

5:55

I need to grieve. I ask that you respect

5:57

my privacy as well as everyone else's. Right now,

5:59

my priority. is preserving everything he's built and I

6:01

don't have any plans beyond that. His channel

6:03

was one of his greatest accomplishments and while we

6:06

all need time to mourn him, I know he

6:08

wouldn't want it to end like this. Ben spent

6:10

over 10 years spreading his love and appreciation for

6:12

his hobbies. It went through his love of exciting

6:14

stories and well-written characters that got him started on

6:16

YouTube. The team and I wanted to keep

6:18

that going, to honour him by continuing to tell

6:20

great stories by great people, as well as to

6:23

keep the memory of our very own superhero alive.

6:25

We supported each other on everything we wanted to do

6:27

and I'm not about to stop now. Yeah,

6:30

it's a beautiful message from Natalie. Just

6:32

the outpouring of messages, not

6:35

only from other people who are on YouTube, but also like

6:37

comic creators and the community in general has

6:39

been really fantastic. It's a shame, I mean he

6:41

knew that he was loved and he was always

6:43

very popular at cons and whatever. Yeah,

6:45

it's a shame that he didn't get to see this, you

6:48

know what I mean? The impact that he had.

6:51

I knew him a little bit, like we

6:53

did, it's like a few podcast collaborations, this

6:55

was years ago. He was always very fun

6:57

and courteous and enthusiastic, like he was a

7:00

genuinely good dude. I didn't know him like

7:02

in person, but obviously we've spoken online. Sal

7:05

from Comic Pop was really close with him, after

7:08

a beautiful message. Rob from Comics Explained, they

7:10

kind of came up together, he did a

7:12

video on his YouTube channel about him, which

7:14

I suggest people check out. Yeah, everybody just

7:17

spoke really highly of him. Yeah, it's very

7:19

easy I think when we're doing stuff like

7:21

this or talking about comic books or superhero

7:23

movies or whatever to get very cynical about

7:25

that sort of stuff. Yeah. It would have

7:27

focused on the negative, but I think like

7:30

generally speaking, focused on the positive and made

7:32

it kind of an inviting world to jump

7:34

into. Absolutely, I think yeah that enthusiasm was

7:36

so important, it wasn't, and look it's

7:38

easy to fall into like, oh this sucks and

7:40

whatever. There's a new writer, it sucks. Yeah, and

7:43

talking about changes and things. And not to say

7:45

that everybody doesn't do that at some point,

7:47

but it was really what

7:49

he did was like a celebration of comics

7:51

in all its like different forms and over

7:54

the decades and yeah and also

7:56

in his personal life. I mean I know Rob

7:58

from Comics Explained tells a story about And

8:00

we brought him out of a really dark time and he

8:02

always had time for his friends and and all

8:04

of that So yeah, just uh just

8:06

really sad. Yeah, honestly. Yeah, so um

8:10

Yeah, yeah, just just

8:12

bad stuff. Just bad stuff. Yeah. Yeah Okay,

8:16

we turn this around. Yeah, let's turn it around Mason So

8:19

this is why the rap uh-huh. So according

8:22

to inside and to an insider

8:24

with knowledge Getting the best

8:26

kind of inside right we asked an insider

8:28

They didn't know but they said they'd guess

8:31

You have a crack at it Blade

8:33

the movie blade announced in 2019 not

8:35

simply the concept of a blade No,

8:38

no, no is much more important

8:40

than getting the film out. So getting it, right?

8:42

Sorry, okay important than just pushing the movie out

8:44

Okay, they are now on to their sixth writer.

8:47

The original director of course of the sim Tariq

8:49

He left over creative differences. Oh, but they've got

8:51

a new director. Well, they have a new director

8:53

But they continue to have a new director Mason

8:56

yeah, and my dementia he stepped away. He's

8:58

gone. This doesn't have a director What do

9:01

you say you're using some odd language that

9:03

he stepped away? Well, it says he simply

9:06

stepped away from his Did he

9:08

step away from the scene to sit in his directors chair?

9:10

No, no, no, no I'm gonna contemplate some more directing. I'm

9:12

gonna do on this movie despite having a release date of

9:14

November 7th of 20 20-30, you

9:16

know any of these fact I know

9:19

something this this insider doesn't know nothing

9:21

It's coming out of no semba,

9:24

I think yeah, I'm on the set I'm

9:27

here November 7th of 2025

9:30

it's coming out apparently despite not having

9:32

a confirmed director Jeff Snyder Said

9:35

Mahershala Ali had grown frustrated with the director and

9:37

apparently he's difficult to work with I mean

9:39

who knows what that means? Yeah, you know like

9:42

people can be frustrated with each other and it's

9:44

the first person to say It could be the

9:46

one that's sorry. Yeah, you know, so this is

9:48

I mean I do get the

9:50

sense from what we've seen over the years that this

9:53

Is a passion project For Mahershala Ali and

9:55

also Marvel And they really want to get

9:57

it, right? Yeah, they seem to be just

9:59

be. Tripping over themselves, Yeah.

10:02

To that I wonder what the stumbling block is

10:04

as a D D Things like if you say

10:06

if someone says old the direct is difficult, is

10:09

the directed difficult or it's a direct Us facing

10:11

difficulties from somewhere of them is the as is

10:13

it a case of like well look we were

10:15

going to have this ongoing life story but we

10:17

you need to put in the references to the

10:20

Black Knight and yeah, flooded references who have begun

10:22

to bring back the eternal say bribery my eye

10:24

to refs. That's all we're going to have. The

10:26

cycles are going to be not sense of you

10:28

could. He. Could do We were going to

10:31

put that seen in obviously. Ah yes I'm

10:33

I'm wondering if you know everybody might be

10:35

struggling with that? Absolutely yeah. and you know

10:37

you want to kind of get it right

10:39

because they already is. Like a Blade Legacy

10:41

called his blade a Leg like Legacy Origins

10:43

era and it's like it's Belgard I target.

10:45

Death is also. it does feel like it

10:47

is the birth of like the modern. Marvel.

10:50

Movie. The. Mc stuff took a

10:52

lot from Blade. Yeah, the direction of that

10:54

the yeah branch us. I mean been difficult

10:56

could be There was ice skating appeal exactly.

10:58

Wow, I'm as and difficult when I think

11:00

about a director on Set Off on I'm

11:02

make something happen. You're picturing he's wearing a

11:04

sort of like Jodhpurs stall pan a month

11:06

by the sort of bloom and out of

11:08

the as a liar and he's got like

11:10

a better idea and a cigarette in a

11:12

hold on yes and he's got like a

11:14

megaphone. but it's nice is cod this is

11:16

the carboy. yeah yeah into a tude? By

11:18

yeah yeah, wouldn't do that. I have a

11:20

that's not even. The difficult part. The difficult

11:22

part I'm imagining. Use that there was a

11:25

bucket of loose like wet cement. Young put

11:27

his foot net even realize and as a

11:29

dried cel and I'm sure clunking around with

11:32

the added of slowing down movies. If is

11:34

a wouldn't you imagine China Like China gets

11:36

or made a gay A Got a pocket

11:38

of cement. The. Thrive on your foot.

11:40

Yeah my, how would you even do that? Will

11:43

you have that? Have to let you go? We

11:45

have stuff or something I imagine you would hope

11:47

the did the meeting is. Somewhat.

11:49

Close by that he could yell a d a

11:51

cardboard yeah yeah. like a megaphone to be like

11:53

i'm running a little bit Lights. As. I

11:55

stood in a pocket of the maintenance or

11:57

I'd get. On. a plant have club

11:59

and clamping about like some sort of cement

12:01

legged pirate. Could have one on each foot. That's

12:04

right. We don't know. And there's just a sit,

12:06

like there's, you know, all your extras are there

12:08

and everybody's dressed like Errol Flynn with a little

12:10

tweedly mustache, you know? They're yelling, cutting, like not

12:12

happy with it. And there's alarms going, bling, bling,

12:14

bling, bling. And the actor's like, I can't bloody

12:17

work like this. People are lifting up the walls

12:19

of the set and moving them around. Yeah, the

12:21

actor's doing an accent, but then they cut, the

12:23

actor, the actor slips into their normal accent. Like,

12:25

I can't bloody work like this. You know? Yeah,

12:28

yeah. I don't work with amateurs. I don't

12:30

work with a crazy on a set of blades. And he's got that

12:32

bucket of cement on his foot. Bucket of cement on his foot. Exactly,

12:36

yeah. God. You know? Yeah,

12:38

anyway. So it's probably something like

12:40

that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Leading

12:42

ladies there, she's like, oh. You know? Yeah,

12:45

yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. Anyways, this

12:47

is my first role in Hollywood.

12:49

Hollywood, oh, you know? Yeah, exactly. And

12:51

it's the dog-eat-dog industry, you know? That's

12:54

exactly right. Yeah, yeah. We know that.

12:56

Exactly. And Harry Styles is there as Errol.

13:00

Errol's there. It's the Eternal of Love. He's

13:02

there, you know? He was in that movie. He's waiting for

13:04

his cameo. Good movie. Good movie,

13:06

wasn't he? Yeah, that's right. I didn't have

13:08

to get in Willie Lumpkin. He's gonna be

no. It's the lyrics to Blurred Lines? Yes, it

13:27

is, yes. Okay, great. So, we'll

13:29

see what happens there. Yeah. This could

13:32

fall apart completely, right? Yeah, like those sets.

13:34

The actor could leave. It's probably like I'm

13:36

finally gonna get you Dracula and it's just

13:38

a wall, the set falls down. Just as

13:40

you can. Cut, bling, et cetera.

13:42

Yeah, it's not a lot. The thing we said happened

13:44

to get. I can't work like this. Yeah, that's right.

13:46

Oh, it's my first role in Hollywood. Clunk, clunk, clunk.

13:48

Clunk, clunk, yep, that's right. Every day

13:50

on this bloody set. I don't know how they do it. No. Anyway,

13:53

this is my variety. Dwayne Johnson

13:56

and Danny Garcia, seven buck production.

13:58

We talked about them recently. The Rocks

14:00

production company have signed a first look deal

14:03

to develop theatrical and streaming films over at

14:05

Disney Disney? Now this isn't strictly limited

14:07

to filmed content if that's what you're thinking Live

14:10

theater? Yeah, live theater. Is the Rock gonna do

14:12

some dinner theater? I'll tell you live. The Rock's

14:14

gonna do dinner theater at that exclusive club in

14:16

Disneyland where you can drink. Oh, I love that.

14:18

Yeah. Club whatever it's called. Club

14:20

33? I think it might be called. We

14:22

talked about it in Big Sandwich Stuff. While

14:24

details weren't immediately discussed. Oh.

14:27

The right is- I just want a deal.

14:29

No details. Give me a

14:32

deal sign. We'll discuss details later.

14:34

Sign it. That's right. I'm

14:36

big. Sign it. You

14:38

know I've got mad respect for you Disney and I'd hope you have mad respect for

14:40

me. Wayne The Rock Johnson. Variety

14:44

has led to the multi-year agreement will also give

14:46

seven bucks a chance to collaborate across all Disney

14:48

divisions. So this is what Variety

14:50

is saying. Now as you may have heard, Disney

14:53

operates a parks business. Oh, I've

14:55

heard that. A direct to consumer sports service. What?

14:59

NESP NBC. Whatever it is.

15:01

Oh, ESPN. Oh yeah, I guess.

15:03

I thought you meant some sort of live thing. Like

15:05

betting on the dogs. They probably do have betting on

15:07

the dogs. Except it's goofy

15:09

in Pluto. Yeah. Fight to the death.

15:12

Yeah. The winner gets- the loser

15:14

dies, the winner gets allowed to talk. There's

15:16

a dog man, a stand-up dog man, beat

15:18

a regular dog. No. Yeah,

15:20

the dog would win, right? The dog would have

15:22

savagery. Yeah, but the man dog has weapons, presumably.

15:24

Yeah, but I reckon Pluto- Pluto probably

15:27

has like a greater muscle density. I think he

15:29

would win. Oh, so he's pretty cunning in himself.

15:31

Because he's a cartoon dog. Yeah. Plus again,

15:33

if he wins, he gets to talk. Which

15:35

he can. To be clear, Pluto can talk. He

15:37

just doesn't because he's not allowed. I didn't know

15:39

that. Yeah. Only the top dog in Disney

15:41

is allowed to talk. We'll talk about the boys later. There's a bit of that

15:43

there, isn't there? Uh, you want

15:46

to see Johnson smirking face on the Jungle

15:48

Cruise ride? No. Then

15:50

stop off for a doll whip

15:52

infused with Sera Manetakila? What

15:54

about a rock- Shut up. Shut up.

15:56

If I didn't think the other way, I'd want to get drunk before I

15:58

went on the Jungle Cruise ride. I guess

16:00

what about a rock branded boot clamp

16:02

boot camp class the boot clamp Yeah

16:05

Are you talking about a big bucket

16:07

of cement? You put your foot

16:09

in and it's right and it's got the rocks face

16:11

on the bucket And then you walk around Disneyland with

16:13

a bucket because an extra challenge I think it makes

16:15

you feel alive because you're one of those Disney adults

16:17

who goes to Disney every day and you're like oh

16:20

There's still an empty business inside me. I better go

16:22

to better put a clamp on. Mason You know my

16:24

wife's in Europe for two weeks. You know, my brain

16:27

isn't working I feel like you're not having mad respect

16:29

for me right now. Okay. All right. Okay.

16:31

Anyway the rock stuff What

16:33

about a rock branded boot camp class to

16:35

turn up your dad bod? What what

16:38

that's pretty mean that is me Well,

16:40

the Disney adults get plenty of exercise They're walking

16:42

around the the park or the kids hit the

16:44

water slide on Disney's Titan liner The

16:47

possibilities could be endless in the context of the deal.

16:49

Yes. Yeah What about I

16:51

want to go on the water slide I

16:54

get fit before I go on holiday I don't

16:56

go on holiday and then do boot camp It's

16:58

not fucking idiot you do it the other way

17:00

you're doing the few months leading up, you know,

17:02

and then you write your calories Be part. Yeah,

17:04

exactly. Cut your calories You know you get more

17:06

cardio in you try to lift heavy to maintain

17:09

your muscle mass and then you blow out you

17:11

go to Disney Well, then it's just churros all

17:13

day and like everything Slurry out

17:15

of a machine in a cup and you need

17:17

like like a big white box and a hologram

17:19

of the rock screaming at me Then I'm too

17:21

fat. I don't need that. Okay,

17:23

but what if he's dressed as a jungle cruise guy? What

17:26

if he stresses the tooth fairy? Or

17:29

Moana. Yeah, he could be a malee whatever.

17:31

Mm-hmm. Anyway, this could also just be like

17:33

Moana And that's it now what I imagine I've

17:35

only ever been to Euro Disneyland Mmm, which

17:37

barely counts and I went to Japan Disneyland

17:39

and that also barely can't that's right But

17:41

when I imagine like a Disney land or Disney

17:43

World you sort of you imagine the Disney

17:45

castle and all like maybe there's fireworks But

17:47

there's also like hot air balloons floating around

17:49

hot air balloon in the shape of the rocks

17:52

head Oh, yeah, I like that, but

17:54

just a bunch of them and they're swarming On

17:57

us. Yep. God. I love that.

17:59

Yeah. I mean We talked recently, very

18:01

recently, a few weeks back about the

18:03

deals that people have made in Hollywood.

18:05

Yeah. And what they amount

18:07

to. And what they amount to. Nothing. So this could

18:09

be like, this could literally be like Moana and

18:11

nothing. Though famously, seven buck productions

18:13

have never signed any kind of

18:16

exclusivity thing. So we kind of

18:18

bounce around different stuff. Like

18:20

a big balloon. Okay. But surely,

18:22

a lot of this would be new

18:24

stuff, right? Because it wouldn't be showing

18:26

up and being like, here's the deal.

18:30

Here's the deal, mad respect, more Moana

18:32

stuff. Yeah. Because they'd be like,

18:34

we own that already. Well, they are doing more because

18:36

they're doing Moana too. And then he's doing live action

18:38

Moana. But he doesn't need to sign a deal with

18:41

his production company. No, I guess not. Yeah, you're probably

18:43

right. It's already in the, unless this already happened prior

18:45

to those. Oh, oh. I don't know. I

18:47

don't know anything. Yeah. Should we

18:50

move it along to the next segment? Yes. The

18:52

Rock theme popcorn bucket. Oh yeah. Yeah. Which

18:55

part do you eat from? Top of his head. Like

18:58

he's a Frankenstein. Top of his popcorn in there. Yeah,

19:00

that's true. Yeah. Variety

19:02

says that the Penguin, the series. All the

19:04

rock shaped head backpack. Think about that. Oh

19:06

yeah. Is it real size? So

19:08

it's like, it's like big

19:10

for a head, but too small for a backpack. You

19:13

know, I think it's backpack size. So it's

19:15

too, way too big for a head. And

19:17

you just walk, you just walking down the

19:19

main drag of Disney world or whatever. And

19:22

there's just kids with enormous, the rock heads

19:24

on their backs, you know? Kids famously love

19:27

the Rock's giant head. Yeah. As

19:29

I can tell from all those black Adam toys flying off the

19:31

shelves. Well, I could melt some of those down.

19:34

Yeah. True. Variety said that

19:36

the Penguin will stream in September of 2024. Now,

19:40

hello, my time to shine hello went took

19:42

to Twitter. Okay. Not a great,

19:44

not a great success rate. You have the stats there? I don't

19:46

have the stats, but I can bring that up. Okay. All

19:49

right. And they say that Batman part two

19:51

and three will shoot back to back. Okay. James

19:53

Gunn was asked if this is true and he said, it is not. So

19:55

it's wrong. Yes, wrong. He

19:58

was also asked if it can. Because

20:00

I feel like, look, I don't know.

20:02

I don't know anything. Sure, yeah. Okay,

20:04

so according to Marvel Studios spoilers, My

20:07

Time to Shine Hello has a 67.06

20:09

accuracy rate.

20:12

Okay, so two out of three. That's a little better

20:14

than average, if average is 50, which it might not

20:16

be. Yeah, it's better than a coin flip. Yeah. But

20:19

it's completely average for a three-sided coin flip. True.

20:22

And a lot of the stuff would be like...

20:24

Which is heads, tails, lands directly on its side,

20:27

on the table, and doesn't waver. Which you'd think

20:29

would be statistically unlikely, but it's actually... It's possible.

20:31

It happens a third of the time. Like,

20:34

it's like, Andrew Garfield's gonna return to Spider-Man. It's

20:36

like, yeah, probably. You could say that, I can

20:39

say that. That's right. Because I know

20:41

it to be true. Yeah, but Garfield's gonna come to Spider-Man. Is

20:43

he? That's unlikely. Oh,

20:45

wow. So that's, I mean, that's her biggest wing,

20:47

isn't it? Anyway, the Batman tour has not been... I love lasagna,

20:49

but I hate the Green Goblin. That's fair enough. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

20:52

Green Goblin's a menace. That's right. Not

20:54

like Spider-Man, who's called a menace.

20:57

So yeah, Batman tour has not

20:59

been canceled. Okay. I think

21:01

it could be. Anything could be. Yeah. I

21:03

don't know. It's been a long time. It's

21:05

gonna be at like 2026. The last one was 2021 or 30? Has

21:09

anybody considered using your powers for evil, James? Yeah.

21:12

Where you could set up a

21:14

comic book industry kind of insider

21:16

Twitter account and just use that

21:18

insight. Even though I don't think

21:21

it could be canceled. It's canceled. You just think

21:23

about it. Oh, yeah. And then

21:25

you just say a lie. Okay. You could do that.

21:27

I think you could. I don't know. Well,

21:30

great. I won't. I haven't

21:32

got time for that. official

21:34

first DCU thing. Not the

21:36

Flash. Whoa. Not Blue

21:39

Beetle. Not the Bluebeastle. Not Aquaman 2.

21:41

Not Aquaman 2. They tried to trick us into saying

21:43

that those were part of it, but then you... That's

21:46

right. That's right. We know the

21:48

last shot of the real DCU was

21:50

Ocean Master eating that Cockroach Burger.

21:54

That was it. A fitting finale.

21:56

Yeah. And there's

21:58

rumors this week that it will. feature Superman

22:00

which wouldn't surprise me because there's going to

22:02

be characters in that that go into live

22:04

action and vice versa, etc. Speaking

22:07

of DC we got trailers, a very

22:10

short 42 second trailer for Watchmen chapters

22:12

1 and 2. Now

22:15

they're using a 3D animation popularized more recently

22:17

in the TV show reboot, did you ever

22:19

see that? The kids TV series reboot. Yeah

22:21

the one from the 90s. Yeah I have seen that of

22:23

course I've seen that. Do you

22:25

remember it? Yes. So what I'm saying is

22:27

it's like that. Doth was there? There's a

22:29

lot of tricks. Yeah okay. And

22:32

other characters. Chevy Chase. Chevy Chase was not in

22:34

it. No, I was thinking of National Lampoon. Vacation,

22:36

you aren't thinking of that. Yeah. Yeah.

22:39

I think the Vacation series. Vegas one. Yeah, you

22:41

think of Vegas Vacation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What if?

22:44

It's kind of that what if style. It is. And

22:46

people say why do this? I mean we ask

22:48

that question every time there's a new watch. What

22:50

do you think of the animation and the looking?

22:52

I don't love this 3D kind of thing to

22:54

be honest. No. But if

22:56

you want a 2D animated version of the watch but there's

22:58

one on YouTube it's just the comic. The

23:01

motion comic. The motion comic. Yeah. If

23:03

you are keen on that. I don't

23:06

think we need this but I'm glad

23:08

it's there for some of the watch. They're putting the

23:10

pirate stuff in you reckon? Maybe the pirate stuff live

23:12

action. A flip of like the Zack Snyder one. Whoa

23:14

okay maybe yeah sure. Pretty cool right? Yeah okay. Wouldn't

23:17

that be cool. And it's very low budget. Oh

23:19

yeah. Oh yeah. The sets are

23:21

always falling down. Oh yeah. And then the

23:23

ring cuts. I can't work like this. That's

23:26

right. Jerry Butler he's back. Now

23:28

we don't have any confirmation on any of the cast.

23:30

We don't know if anyone's coming back from the movies

23:32

or whatever. But I looked at the Rotten Tomatoes trailer

23:35

and I don't know if this means anything but

23:37

it says check out the teaser trailer for Watchmen

23:39

chapters one and two starring Adam Driver. Now

23:42

that could just be a megalopolis trailer

23:44

thing that they've taken over and they've forgotten

23:46

to take out some of the stuff. Yes.

23:48

But I could see him as a comedian

23:51

or basically anybody actually. It

23:53

could be anybody about. Even the squid. Hello

23:55

on the squid. They're putting the squid back?

23:58

They're putting the squid back right? I

24:00

reckon we're an era where it would be the squidia. Yeah,

24:02

absolutely. So apparently there's going to be one of these, it

24:04

will be later this year and then the next one in

24:06

2025. The motion

24:08

comic itself itself, if you look at it, it's like

24:11

five hours long. It is a YouTube one. So

24:13

just read it. It is a real release. It's not

24:15

just a YouTube thing. No, it is.

24:17

Yeah. But it's on YouTube. It is on YouTube.

24:19

Yeah. Pay for it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And once

24:21

again, it's one voice for everybody. Yeah. It's one

24:23

guy doing all the voices. I would say if

24:26

you haven't read Watchmen, I don't

24:28

think this should be your first exposure to it. The thing

24:30

about what the Watchmen and the way it plays

24:32

with time and just

24:34

the reading itself is a, it's a

24:36

real experience. Yeah. And I, which

24:39

you cannot capture in a linear,

24:42

in a movie where, where you can't stop and

24:44

absorb. And it's just. There is

24:46

a reason that Watchmen remained unadapted

24:48

for so many years. Despite being

24:50

adapted so much. Exactly. It's poorly.

24:52

And it's no mostly though. And

24:54

it's because the, the, the

24:57

storytelling was made to suit the format

24:59

of comic books. You get, you

25:02

know, you get the comic sections and you get

25:04

the pro sections and the interviews and the, you

25:06

know, the biographies and the, the, the pirate stuff

25:08

and all that. And it all works together. And,

25:11

and, and, and any translation is,

25:14

by its, by its nature has to be missing

25:17

something. Yep. Or speaking of missing. Oh yes. Don,

25:19

I know. Don, I'm Dr. Don

25:21

Hatton. You would never see his dog in the animated

25:23

version. I reckon we will. You think so? I reckon

25:25

they do an R rated. Whoa. I can move. So

25:27

he's done. Do you think it'll be just like a

25:30

cut frame from the Simpsons movie where you see Bart's?

25:33

I don't think they'll probably use that. No. Okay. Right. I'm

25:35

just saying it's there. I mean, the Simpsons are

25:37

owned by Disney now. So it's true. You'd have

25:39

to license it out. Wouldn't you? Watchmen is somebody

25:42

would have to sign that contract. Exactly. Yeah. God,

25:44

they'd have to 3d animate that dog. No, won't

25:46

they? They're not going to. He's going

25:48

to be underpants all the way. He's going to be

25:50

donged. There's no way. All right. Let's put, let's put

25:52

money on it. Okay. One earth dollar.

25:54

All right. Yeah. You're going to get a, you got

25:56

to bet a million dollars. No,

26:00

well, why would I that's silly? I

26:03

was also gonna say one earth dollar. Okay, great from which

26:05

part of earth Australia all right, then

26:08

it is the money gold coin. Yeah, the one

26:10

place that doesn't have any accents Australia

26:12

actually don't be really good because even now and then my son's

26:14

school have like a plain clothes dress day And they're like you

26:16

have to bring a gold coin I'm like the fuck's sake and

26:19

I got a got a root around the

26:21

house You got a crack open that treasure chest. Yeah,

26:23

gold doubloons you have you know it You

26:25

know it my son, you know and then you tip it in his spill

26:28

it and it's like drink You know Exactly

26:31

the same I can't

26:33

work like this. I really talk.

26:35

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Wow,

26:38

Mason, this is via the Hollywood handle. So this Tiosa

26:40

of Mad Max saga has been removed from

26:43

eight hundred and eighty theaters across the US

26:45

only within two weeks of its release the

26:48

film is and They earned apparently

26:50

eight dollars last weekend at earned

26:53

four point two million As

26:55

in not this weekend just gone on for leaving in

26:57

the top five Top

26:59

five is not nothing It seems like it

27:01

is a bad thing Yeah,

27:03

never gonna see another Mad Max movie unless it

27:05

you know what it could go do well on

27:08

streaming and whatever I mean it I know

27:10

we say like don't pull things from cinemas We

27:13

do that but nobody listens to us but also like

27:15

what what could they do at this point? I mean

27:17

we said the other day and I still stand by

27:19

that you have to just stop releasing things on streaming

27:21

You got to wait a really long time and like

27:24

retrain people. Yeah If

27:26

you want people to go to cinemas, yeah But

27:28

I don't also there should be theater ads where like there's an

27:30

ad and they just goes and just goes Just

27:33

go down the supermarket before I get your popcorn

27:35

and treats Don't

27:37

lose time. It's just gonna be all you think so. You're gonna

27:39

be a bunch of ads just duck out go down the coals

27:42

Just grab the guy the guy the front won't check.

27:44

No, I just get a pack of noodles and whatever

27:47

Okay, but they're you big Santa get a big Santa

27:49

big warm Santa the big warm Santa. We don't buy

27:51

it Let's

27:53

all go to the lobby and get a

27:55

big warm Santa. Oh This

27:58

is a picture of a kid going like I guess.

28:01

It's too big too. I don't want this

28:03

much banter. So you're saying that

28:05

the cinemas should say, we don't.

28:08

They should let people indulge their worst impulses. They should be

28:10

like, yeah, be on your phone if you want. You can

28:12

please come to the movies. No, no, no. You can be

28:14

on your phone if you want. You can sit in any

28:16

second one. We're gonna sell a friend's seat. No. But

28:19

you can sit in James's seat if you want. And this is like a,

28:21

there's like a surveillance photo of you. Like it's

28:23

dark, but somebody's taking a photo of you with a

28:25

flash on. And you're like, ugh. A bit more

28:27

banter. Yeah, you can. You can be

28:29

more banter. You can be more banter. You can be

28:31

more banter. And you're sitting in somebody

28:33

else's seat because somebody was sitting in your seat. So

28:35

you're already annoyed, but now you're annoyed and confused. And

28:38

it's a photo of that and you and it's like,

28:40

you can sit in this guy's seat. I just, what

28:42

are you gonna do? I want to preserve the cinematic

28:44

experience. Sure. That's all. You

28:47

can't have it both ways. I can actually. I

28:49

don't know if you can. This thing is you

28:51

can't charge that much for tickets and then also

28:53

additionally charge that much for food. That's true. People

28:56

don't like it and they've never liked it,

28:58

but it's worse than ever. What about,

29:00

what about buy a ticket free Chocktop?

29:03

It's a great deal. It is a great deal. It

29:05

is a great deal that I've invented. Yeah. Five

29:07

dollars on a Tuesday. Good stuff, man. Yeah.

29:10

Stop buying. Well, I don't even buy. I only really might

29:13

get a popcorn if my kids are there like I don't

29:15

buy cinema. Yeah. Right.

29:17

Right. Right. Right.

29:20

Yeah. Speaking of cinemas, do you see this change?

29:22

This is a bit of news. I love news. You

29:24

said that Sony. Because we got tired of doing

29:26

the bit. Yeah. This

29:29

is from the Hollywood Reporter, James, and I've

29:31

just remembered it. Sony Pictures acquires the Alamo

29:33

Drafthouse Cinema. Oh, yeah. The Landmark dealer put

29:35

studios back in the theater game. Oh. Because

29:38

for more than seven decades, studios weren't allowed

29:40

under certain conditions to own an exhibition company

29:42

under the Paramount Consent Decrees, which were rescinded

29:44

in 2020. I thought it

29:46

was laughable there was ever any rules that people couldn't

29:48

own something. Right. Because this is all out

29:50

of the fucking window. Yeah, it is. Yeah. In

29:53

1948, the United States Supreme

29:55

Court were like. Communists. Exactly.

29:59

They went to Paramount. make films and also

30:01

have a bunch of cinemas. Yes, I can.

30:03

Well, they couldn't for a while. Okay. Yeah.

30:05

Yeah, how do you feel about this? I

30:07

mean, is this is this a way to

30:10

preserve cinemas? Like if Sony a company with

30:12

a lot of money who love making bad

30:14

decisions Yeah, if they want to do this

30:16

to keep them alive. Do you think it

30:18

will? I don't know. I don't know. People

30:20

like the Alamo Drafthouse I think. I don't

30:22

know. I've never heard something like this happening

30:24

and then it's good. So look, no,

30:27

it's probably bad. But I

30:30

don't know. I think people don't know what to do.

30:32

So they're all panicking. It's

30:34

like the board has been flipped

30:37

and the pieces haven't hit the floor yet.

30:39

So we just don't know what's gonna happen.

30:41

That's very true. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

30:43

I mean, this will be a big opening

30:45

weekend for Craven the Hunter though. Yeah, because

30:47

it'll exclusively Craven in the Alamo Drafthouse. Every

30:50

screen will be Craven the Hunter. I can't

30:52

wait to watch Craven the Hunter in

30:55

Sony cinema. Yeah. Craven my

30:57

son. You must learn to

30:59

kill. But I'm Russell Crowe. But I

31:02

want to love animals. No,

31:05

you can't. You just

31:07

flip through to his record. My scarf

31:09

is 100% dodo bird. I kill all

31:12

the dodo birds. Okay, that's fair enough.

31:14

I'm Craven Sr. You're

31:17

Craven Sr. are you? No. Rude.

31:19

Different thing. Mason. Yes, what? JK

31:21

Rowling might move on from Harry

31:23

Potter. Oh. So this

31:25

is via industry insider. To do

31:28

her famous Cormoran Strike detective series.

31:30

Yeah. Great. Have any

31:32

of you read? None. Did you know there's

31:34

also a TV series? No. There is. What's

31:36

it on? I don't know. I think I've

31:38

just remembered this. I think it might just

31:40

be called Strike. The British Bullshit streaming network.

31:42

Yes. Right. Hip-Top

31:44

Tetley T TV. That's what

31:47

it's called. Strike.

31:54

Yeah. No. Jason Strike. Oh, hello.

31:56

Yeah. It's a British Crime Driver

31:58

television series. Got me all

32:00

in a tizzy, I'm Jason Strike The

32:05

program, 2M's and an 8, was

32:07

first broadcast on BBC One in 27 August 2017 What?

32:11

Yeah Never heard of it 5

32:13

series What? 15

32:16

episodes Oh British They're Sherlocking it

32:18

Yeah Sherlocking it yeah Yeah Cormorant

32:20

Strike Love it Tom

32:23

Burke Praterian Jack from Furious Oh that's

32:25

cool Is it? Yeah I

32:27

like him Yeah Yeah

32:30

no you're not No You're

32:32

absolutely not I'm never gonna watch it You're

32:34

right You're right Anyways, you just do insider

32:36

Jeff Snyder What's on the insider? Your mate

32:39

That's right This is two hits from Jeff

32:41

Snyder this week He's doing a lot of work He's doing a lot

32:43

of heavy lifting A lot of lying Maybe So

32:45

the Warner Brothers Discovery has already attempted to buy rolling

32:47

out of their co-owned French franchise This

32:50

feels like rolling squeezing as much juice as she can

32:52

from the Harry Potter Orange before WBD inevitably

32:54

buys her out to get rid of her

32:56

as the original stars won't return while she's

32:58

still around So yeah

33:00

this to me makes sense that Warner Brothers want

33:02

to do this right I was thinking about

33:05

this right because she doesn't really want to do

33:07

anything with it at the moment Right The

33:09

Fantastic Beasts films are done It was supposed to be

33:11

five We were supposed to still be in it Or

33:13

the last one was happening maybe now I don't know

33:16

Right now in the Fantastic

33:18

Beasts universe In the Fantastic Beasts universe World

33:20

War II would be happening And everybody would

33:23

be like yes Yes finally Yes we're doing

33:25

it Wizard Hitler There it is Teaming up

33:27

with regular Hitler Yeah

33:29

So those movies are a bust though They got to three

33:32

and went fuck it don't worry about it Yeah Don't

33:34

worry about it actually Yeah This was

33:36

dumb Don't worry about it Yeah look there was

33:38

a prophecy but we just had two guys have a scuffle

33:40

at the end of this one so it counts Over a

33:43

magical horse Yeah that's right Yeah The

33:45

other thing is like she's just terminally online

33:47

You know She's crying about trans

33:49

people She doesn't want to do anything with

33:51

Harry Potter She was writing those Fantastic Beasts

33:53

movies in the end co-writing them As

33:56

mentioned none of the stars want

33:58

to return first The curse child doesn't seem that

34:01

way they don't endorse any of the things that

34:03

she believes most of them for the most part

34:05

Um, and there is this thing

34:07

like well, they're ungrateful or whatever just like

34:09

this Who's this voice people who are like

34:11

well Daniel Radcliffe because he got his start

34:13

doing yeah But like that doesn't mean that

34:15

he that she gets to like parrot opinions

34:17

through him for the rest of her life

34:19

Yeah, that's fucking insane. We are talking about

34:22

also. They're doing a TV reboot Which

34:25

is nobody wants that if

34:27

you're able to see that no No, I don't think

34:29

they do I think general audiences do I think a

34:32

lot I think many many like it's one of those

34:34

things Like the reason Harry Potter

34:36

is such a huge hit is because it's

34:38

not it's not at all It's just the

34:40

fans like it's a you need millions and

34:42

millions of people to move the needle exactly

34:44

but I think but I'm saying Well, most

34:46

people don't even know about JK Rowling and

34:48

her opinions or what have you? I

34:51

think a lot of people are just like well more Harry Potter. No, I

34:53

yeah Yeah, I think you're right there

34:55

But I think also if you're a fan of Harry

34:57

Potter you'd go back to them the movie movies, right?

34:59

So I think like if you're a fan you've got

35:01

the movies and or you're not a fan

35:03

and you're like why would I watch this? Yeah, I mean

35:06

I imagine like they obviously they

35:08

want a big it but I think it could

35:10

very well go the way of The

35:12

Rings of Power series yet totally happened and people

35:15

are like oh yeah, they do that It's not

35:17

gonna be like and it's also I imagine a

35:19

lot of people have a lot of affection for

35:21

the original cast because They

35:23

grew up with and they'll go like oh are

35:25

we saying this all again? Are we yeah, you

35:28

know, I feel like even if you did it

35:30

They'd always be this cloud hanging over it and

35:32

she's constantly popping up, you know, it's

35:34

true, you know Just saying stuff that I don't agree

35:36

with interesting, but that's my opinion both sides. No, it's

35:38

not at this one Okay, right. I where every time

35:40

we bring it up people always like well, why don't

35:42

you say in particular? Sean's got a video on it.

35:45

There's a thousand videos on it You can you can

35:47

you can look into one the people that she's endorsed

35:49

in the things that she said Sean's a very well-known

35:51

youtuber He's not yet a guy we know he's not

35:53

a guy we know I mean, I know a guy

35:55

called Sean, but I don't know if he has a

35:57

solid opinion on this you met him, you know Sean

36:00

Do I know a guy named Sean? Yeah, he was here the other

36:02

day. Okay, but do I independently know a different guy named

36:04

Sean? Oh, a guy like not through me. I'm gonna check

36:06

my Facebook friend. Okay, yeah, you do that. Check your contacts.

36:08

I've got like three people on this phone. One of them,

36:10

me? Yes. I've mad

36:12

respect for that. You put me in there. The

36:15

other thing is Warner Brothers needs Harry

36:17

Potter because not only do they have

36:19

the movies, there's theme

36:21

parks and merch and video games

36:24

and it's all stuck because

36:26

if JK Rowling isn't moving forward with anything,

36:29

they've got this huge machine. I know some

36:31

shorts. There you go. But I know they're

36:33

all SCA-ins. Oh yeah, that's right. Yeah, that's

36:36

not good then. But they've

36:38

got this huge machine. It's basically like

36:40

Star Wars, but it can't move forward

36:42

for various reasons. So like

36:44

they need to keep the fandom alive

36:46

and they can't produce new

36:48

live action stuff. That's true, yeah. So they

36:50

need it and JK Rowling doesn't want to

36:53

really do anything. She'll probably just take billions

36:55

of dollars and step away. The other thing

36:57

is Warner Brothers needs franchises like Mad Max

36:59

is a bust. The DCU at this point

37:01

is uncertain. There are things like Dune's working

37:03

at the moment, but Dune's not Harry Potter.

37:05

There's not Dune fucking world. That's true, yeah.

37:07

Like they need this stuff. I mean, they

37:09

are pooping in weird ways in the Dune

37:11

universe, which is also true of the Harry

37:13

Potter universe, isn't it? That is true. I

37:15

mean, Dune, they're doing it through pipes and

37:17

suits and whatever and in Harry Potter that's just on the

37:20

floor or in weird bathrooms, you

37:22

know? Yeah, in a weird bathroom, there's a ghost in

37:24

it. Ghost bathrooms. Yeah, in it, you're sick. I

37:28

think also, if whatever way this goes,

37:30

let's say she doesn't sell it, then

37:32

we're stuck where we are, right? But

37:35

if they sell it, they'll be able to probably move

37:37

forward with the Cursed Child trilogy, I would say, with

37:39

the original stars. Because also, there

37:41

are a lot of people within the Harry

37:43

Potter community and in the movies and associated

37:45

with it who aren't like

37:47

JK Rowling. There are

37:50

people, there are nice people,

37:52

let's say, who are associated with this

37:54

franchise, right? If they sell

37:56

it, she sells it, then it's a George Lucas

37:58

Star Wars situation. Right and people aren't happy about

38:00

that either and then there's gonna be like when

38:03

the new movies do come out and people inevitably

38:06

Hate them and there's all the online

38:08

discourse. Yeah, right There'll be this revisionist

38:10

history about this fantastic beast fucking trilogy

38:12

which sucks by the way I

38:15

was good for maybe for like one movie

38:17

and that's it and she'll be hailed as

38:19

a hero by the true fans I can't

38:21

wait. It's all gonna happen again. So

38:23

that's what's inevitably we're gonna lie

38:26

that Whatever happens

38:28

here, but and again Warner Brothers,

38:30

they need it. JK Rowling isn't

38:33

gonna make any more movies I

38:35

think cuz you can't yeah, and this

38:37

is where we're at. Wow. Yeah, I

38:39

reckon every should just get over it You've

38:44

got them everybody's got them on DVD everyone's

38:46

gone. Yeah, we've got the books on the

38:49

shelf Yeah, you know fine. They're God everyone's

38:51

got them. Yeah, that's something we should never

38:53

dump So that's not as rebel

38:55

moon also true and because this is exciting

38:57

news You might have seen this but the

38:59

director's cuts have been announced. That's correct The

39:01

director's cuts have been announced of what's the

39:03

first one called child of fire? Yeah,

39:06

and then the other one the skargiver, but

39:08

they've been renamed the trick is it's now

39:10

called chapter one Chalice of blood

39:12

okay chapter two curse of forgiveness

39:15

Okay, it is hard to forgive isn't it? Mm-hmm

39:17

the curse in a way. That's right At

39:20

August second they should have just been

39:22

called chapter one blood chapter two boobs

39:28

Because that's what everybody wants Yeah,

39:34

do you mm-hmm blooms

39:38

That's just be confusing. Yeah, yeah.

39:40

Well, I can't wait to see

39:42

a Longer version

39:44

of this which is worse or a much better

39:46

version which they should have released the first time

39:49

Well, I'm excited to not watch them again because

39:51

I said I know why I said we wouldn't

39:53

yes Pulled

39:57

my foot. So what is it? No, you don't even

40:00

You don't even want to do it. I don't. You

40:02

absolutely don't. But this is what we do. This

40:04

is our job. Yeah, I guess that's true. Yeah.

40:07

Well, I know I said I didn't want to. You're

40:10

not curious? No, not really.

40:13

For content. For content's sake.

40:16

Because all it's gonna be is some

40:18

slightly longer scenes with some

40:20

more blood. Yeah. And more

40:22

moods. I don't... There's not gonna be

40:24

some huge narrative change or anything,

40:27

because there was no need to do that. It's

40:30

gonna be more blood, I think. What is

40:32

it? I don't understand how we got here. It's

40:35

obviously like the Snyder Cut kind of like

40:37

that sort of thing. Well, I mean, he's

40:39

gone. This is the blueprint. Yeah. Like it

40:42

worked last time. Everybody wanted to see a

40:44

new version. So what if we started with

40:46

a version that I'm gonna say that I'm already

40:48

gonna do something before it comes out

40:50

and people are gonna watch that. But then,

40:52

you know. Are there any people out here

40:54

though, like listening to this, it's not

40:57

an attack on you. I just wanna frame that.

40:59

Frame it like this. Just from the get go.

41:01

Yeah. Are you a fan of

41:04

this and is this right? Are you like

41:06

great? Let's see this. Mm.

41:09

Because also what version is even true? Oh, that is true,

41:11

isn't it? In your continuity, you know. What do you

41:13

keep and what do you throw away? Yeah. Yeah.

41:16

It'd be easy to make jokes about this if I remembered anything

41:18

that happens in either of these movies. I could be like, what

41:21

if there's a different scene where there's... And I'm like, I can't

41:23

even remember anything that happens. What if a snake made a phone

41:25

call to the Emperor? Oh yeah. That

41:27

happens. Maybe. Maybe.

41:30

I remember after you watched the second one, you were like,

41:33

you struggled to remember the first one. Yeah. And

41:36

now it's been enough time where you've just, it's all gone. It's

41:38

all washed away. Just slow motion wheat thrashing. You're rubbing his eyes

41:40

like he's gonna save off a

41:42

microwave. I'm not gonna bury you early today. Ah.

41:49

Um. Just

41:53

think about it. Just think about it. There's

41:55

not even an icon. There's not even like in the first one, at

41:57

least somebody flew around on a dragon

41:59

or Spider-chair. Spider-chair. I

42:02

don't remember that. Spider-exastination chairs. They're in the chairs and the chairs

42:04

can walk and you put the thing in

42:06

the back. Oh, I do remember that. And there's

42:08

a scene where the lead character, in

42:10

the past she maybe killed a little girl but then

42:13

she didn't. Yeah, that was in the second one. Yeah,

42:15

that was in the second one. She killed the Emperor's

42:17

daughter. Oh, that reminds me. The princess. This is gonna

42:19

bring up. Yeah. Did you see the trailer for Doom

42:21

of the Dark Ages? Yes. Looks cool as hell, doesn't

42:23

it? It's a prequel to Doom. Yeah. What's the deal,

42:25

Mason? So I think this is set, it'll

42:28

be set after the original generation

42:30

of Doom games. So after Doom

42:33

2, Doom 64, but before the Doom 2016 reboot.

42:36

Before he goes into Stacy's. Yeah, because there's

42:38

like a missing thousand years or something where

42:40

he was like fighting demons in

42:42

hell for a really long time. So it's

42:44

cool as a... So it's the same guy,

42:47

but we got, he's got a Captain America

42:49

style shield that he can fling around, but

42:51

it's also got like a chainsaw blade on

42:53

the outside. Christian Bale, American

42:55

Psycho. Exactly. He's got

42:57

his classic super shotgun double barrel. He's got,

42:59

oh he's got a gun that he puts

43:01

skulls in and it crushes up the skulls

43:03

and it turns it into shards that he

43:05

can shoot at people. That's cool. I like

43:07

that a lot. That's pretty cool. There is,

43:09

you can fly a dragon. You can fly

43:11

around on a dragon. So it's all set

43:13

in hell? Seems that way, or

43:15

like hell style dimensions. Yeah. Now

43:18

there is some, you do see some scenes where it's

43:20

like in the sort of in the clown. So maybe

43:22

that's, you know, one of the, one of the heaven

43:24

style planets. But also he fights, you

43:27

fight in one of the giant mechs. Sick. Because

43:30

in the previous two games, there's been scenes where there's like, you

43:32

see mechs fighting in the background or you see like the ruins

43:34

of a mech. Yeah. You know, buried

43:36

underground or what have you, but it's like... We're going

43:38

to do the mechs. We're going to do

43:40

the mechs. So, I think one of

43:42

the concept designers for these games worked on Pacific Rim Uproise.

43:44

Oh. That's a bit of fun.

43:47

I don't mind that movie that everyone hates. Oh yeah. When

43:49

is the, so when is the first Doom set? Is that

43:51

set in the 90s and the new one

43:53

set like a thousand years in the future? Is that the

43:55

idea behind it? Sorry, which one? The new Doom. I mean

43:57

the original Doom. When's that set? Well, they're all set

43:59

in the future. Right. Oh, but I think

44:01

the idea because it's on Mars or whatever. Yeah, but I

44:03

think the idea is that Time

44:07

is all relative in hell So yeah, and and

44:09

he is our thousand years in hell is in

44:11

a thousand on earth and maybe but also he

44:13

is a mortal Oh, yeah, because of you put

44:15

in a machine sick. Yeah, that's pretty sick. Yeah

44:18

Hugo Martin. Yeah was the doom creative director

44:21

was the original concept artist for the Mexican

44:23

Pacific Rim Oh the original Pacific Rim original

44:25

on you and not uprising exactly great

44:28

Anyway, that's rebel new moon. Yes,

44:30

46:49

Bit of news though before we get into the review, Mason.

46:51

Oh, there's new news. The Boys is ending. Oh yeah, that's

46:54

true. Yeah. Last

46:56

week we had, last week or maybe the week before, Eric

46:58

Kripke. Yes. Who's

47:01

the showrunner. On Supernatural, yeah. He said something

47:03

along the lines of, I can't say. Well

47:05

actually the news article took something

47:07

he said and they said, oh,

47:10

maybe the Boys is going to continue forever.

47:12

And he said, no. What are you talking about?

47:16

He said, he had to keep it vague because

47:18

he was still, you know, they were negotiating behind

47:20

the scenes and et cetera. But he said season

47:22

five is going to be the last season. So

47:24

we're just starting season four right now. That's right.

47:26

He said five is. Probably two years away,

47:28

I would say from the final season. Something like that, yeah.

47:31

Yeah. Which again, we've talked about this, I'm

47:33

sure. But you know, if you

47:35

are making a show and everybody gets along

47:37

and it seems like a good environment and

47:39

of course, and it's successful and you know,

47:42

people are watching it, why wouldn't you want

47:44

to continue with it? But at the same

47:46

time, if it, certain shows, the structure of

47:48

them relies on it being like

47:51

a natural arc that ends. Yes. You

47:55

have to kind of write your way out of that

47:57

ending after a certain amount of time, it

47:59

starts to feel. a little bit odd. Yeah. And

48:02

like the idea behind the boys, you would imagine

48:04

is, well, at the end, we

48:06

need a definitive ending. We

48:08

need a cathartic ending where, you know, maybe Homelander

48:11

loses or he wins. Yeah.

48:14

You know, we need something to, you know, we

48:16

need the arc to end in a satisfying way.

48:19

And if you do keep dragging that out, you

48:21

know. People are already feeling it. Like, God, how's

48:23

he going to get out of this one and

48:25

whatever. And he does. Yeah. And

48:27

then the final announcement by Eric Kripke is the

48:29

boys season four premiere week is a good time

48:31

to announce season five will be the final season. Always

48:33

my plan. I just had to be a cagey till

48:35

I got the okay from Vought. They're

48:38

big, fantastic. Thrilled

48:41

to bring the story to

48:43

a gory, epic, moist climax.

48:45

He'll say any word. What's the reason

48:47

for in the final pleasant because the end has

48:49

begun. No one can watch this season without feeling

48:52

at the end like it's ending next year. Right.

48:55

I might as well announce it so

48:57

people can watch it with that cool

48:59

epic head toward the end feeling, which

49:01

is what I'm hoping for. As

49:03

we mentioned this a while, but I think a

49:05

few weeks back we were like, season five season

49:07

seems good because Supernatural was supposed to be five.

49:09

That's right. If you watch the five series of

49:12

that, it very much feels like that.

49:14

And then kept going. I mean, I fight God at like

49:16

season 28. Yeah. Now

49:18

this will go of defeated God. What's next? It's

49:21

me a bigger God. Bigger God. What are you

49:23

doing here? No, I'm just bigger. You're

49:26

related. I love God's dad. Are you related? I

49:28

don't think so. Maybe. I don't know

49:30

what they're up to. Because I mean, you are in that cloud

49:32

and you seem far. I mean, roughly you seem about the same

49:34

size as previous God. Should

49:37

we do slightly bigger God this week? I'm going

49:39

to be doing slightly bigger Galactus last week because

49:41

this will be leading too heavily into this idea

49:43

that there's a slightly bigger version of something. He

49:45

could be smaller. I guess. And

49:47

as a result, he's swifter. I mean, there would still

49:49

be a bigger God though, wouldn't there? Because the other

49:51

one would now be bigger. That's

49:53

true. Why didn't that guy call himself bigger God? That's

49:55

right. So it's no, but I

49:58

imagine smaller God and even smaller God. Oh,

50:00

I wrote that. The first one is just classic

50:03

God. God classic. God original. And then the

50:05

other guy would be smaller but swifter, you

50:07

know? I

50:10

love that. Because of the power scaling, you know? Yeah.

50:12

You know? Um, there's one who's more durable, but

50:14

he's slower. He's slower, yeah. Yeah. I get boss

50:16

battles. That's right. Yeah. I'm glad this is wrapping

50:18

up. I don't think it's- There's God with a

50:20

big glowing thing on his head. Oh, you're gonna

50:22

shoot it with him. An arrow. Yeah.

50:25

Like Gen V is gonna continue. Yep. Uh-huh.

50:27

There'll be other spin-offs, probably animated stuff.

50:30

They'll pop up in video games, etc. That's

50:32

right. So, yeah, this

50:34

won't end. This will be like The Walking Dead, where

50:36

it will just keep going and spinning off again until

50:38

it can't anymore. But I like that

50:40

this mainline version is wrapping up. Watching

50:44

these first three episodes of the new

50:46

season, which they released on Thursday, it

50:48

does feel like, yeah, this

50:51

can't sustain. If you're wrapping up. Okay.

50:53

Not in like a dreadful way, but it does feel

50:55

like, oh, there's not really

50:57

many surprises here. Yeah. It

50:59

feels like we are heading to an inevitable

51:03

kind of conclusion. Yeah. And

51:05

to kind of divert from that suddenly would be

51:07

odd. Yeah. Oh, what do you

51:10

think the story was? You thought you were gonna get me, but

51:12

I knew. Did you? Yeah. Okay. What do you got? Oh, come

51:14

on. Because you actually

51:16

still have to do it. Yeah, yeah. I

51:18

mean, we did. I mean, the first episode

51:20

does have a big recap. Yeah. The previous

51:23

seasons, which is almost exclusively people's heads bursting.

51:25

Yeah, just people exploding. Yes. Yeah. So the

51:27

boys. Yeah. They're still, they still want to

51:30

get that Homelander. They're out there. He's, but

51:32

tell you what, Homelander, he's on trial. Yeah.

51:34

That murder he did last season. Yes, he

51:36

is. In public, that public murder. Yeah. And,

51:39

but people are on his side. They are. Some are.

51:41

Some are. Half. Half are on his side. Yeah. Half are

51:43

not on his side. So the boys are going to deal

51:45

with that. They got to also deal

51:47

with Victoria Newman. Yep. Who's in

51:50

line to become the vice president. Mm-hmm. She's also

51:52

a super, can burst people's heads. A secret super.

51:54

I love the fact that her power

51:56

is just popping heads. Like it's not like, well,

51:58

I overlook, I increase people. mental energy

52:00

until it now it's just like bang I

52:02

just burst heads I presumably she

52:04

could burst out of anything but anything

52:07

but she burst heads cuz yeah it's

52:09

most convenient fun anyway she's she's secretly

52:11

there and then then there's some all

52:13

the boys they got troubles don't they butchers got

52:16

a brain tumor yeah or something or just some

52:18

goop in his ground goop in his head yeah

52:20

try from night cuz in the previous season he

52:22

it was using an experimental for drug which gives

52:24

you temporary superpowers and they said if you use

52:26

this one too many times you'll die and he

52:28

did use it one too many times because he

52:31

were used at one or two times less and

52:33

that's right yeah yeah yeah so he's

52:35

on the way out yeah it's lucky that butch

52:37

are gone good superpowers

52:39

out of that oh yeah unfortunately got a

52:42

stupid one make acid face so I guess

52:44

it's a sure yeah nothing but I think

52:46

that you could get nothing yeah yeah little

52:48

firecrackers oh yeah absolutely yeah that's what style

52:51

yeah I think I knew

52:53

this new new folks you've others new

52:55

folks yeah we'll do some non spoilers

52:57

okay I think um in the in

52:59

the we talked about this but in the comic books

53:02

the the pill to beat up superheroes is it's just

53:04

pretty common you can just kind of use it whenever

53:06

yeah like actually I didn't finish that comic I kind

53:08

of like went off it I prefer the show yeah

53:10

but there's no it doesn't you just kind of have

53:13

it and then you can you just basically it's

53:15

a bliss if you're a combat not

53:18

little combat it's the injustice pill web so

53:20

Batman can fight Superman yeah right uh-huh basically

53:22

yeah they're just I mean in the for

53:24

a lot of the comic book the boys

53:26

are just superheroes in all but name and

53:29

costume yeah they can they're just super humanly

53:31

strong and invincible and they have guns that's

53:33

right fun stuff but in this they

53:35

gotta they gotta use them you know they gotta

53:37

use their brains more yeah they gotta they gotta

53:39

think quick you know they've got a you've got

53:42

a forge alliances and they've got a you know

53:44

hmm gonna they got a blackmail they got a

53:46

they got a they got a bug they're gonna

53:48

bug they're gonna do it all yeah

53:51

so yeah it opens with the idea

53:53

that trying to assassinate Victoria Newman because

53:55

the guy who's alone human the

53:58

guy's going to be president is a way And

54:00

she's vice president is aware that she's

54:02

a superhero and he's like well if

54:05

I become president She will just kill

54:07

me in fact that he's the president

54:09

and that's bad news That's right. So

54:11

are but then realizing that like it

54:13

might not be super easy to Residical

54:17

this person and it and it just kind of goes

54:19

from there I feel like everybody kind of gets a

54:21

fun little arc in this of these three episodes balance

54:24

it really well I love that a trained

54:26

is filming a blindside style movie, right? Which

54:30

deviates heavily from his own experience growing up and

54:32

yeah, I won't spoil There's a fun cameo there

54:34

where he's got a coach. He's like trying to

54:36

get him off the streets and Even

54:39

though that wasn't his life Black

54:43

noir story is so black noir's back

54:46

a black Because

54:48

if you recall Homelander did punches

54:50

heart out. Yeah in the previous season. So

54:52

yes. Yeah, uh-huh and he's but this guy's

54:54

a real theater kid Yeah So

54:56

he seems to have like pretty much the abilities of

54:58

black noir But he's just constantly asking people what his

55:01

motivation is of what he's supposed to do and then

55:03

like, you know You don't do anything. Yeah, just don't

55:05

quite and so it I

55:07

love there's a joke where he goes I don't

55:09

understand it cuz like I moved into his living

55:12

space and he's got a dojo, but he

55:14

didn't know martial arts So I don't even understand

55:16

like he just would like burst people with his

55:18

yes. I Loved

55:20

all of that. Do we have a we never found out who

55:22

he was did we because in the comic book? Oh Noir

55:25

is is a clone of home. Yeah, so,

55:28

you know, yeah, I don't know. I

55:30

mean I think yeah I said the guy I guess just

55:32

why is there I was thinking about this

55:34

yesterday Did I dream this or is

55:36

there an animated? There is a boy's

55:38

thing there is there's an animated shorts. That's what

55:40

I thought because there's I a bollock cool It's

55:42

cool. Yeah, because there's one that's just its homeland

55:45

is first mission and he and black noir team.

55:47

Oh, that's right Yeah, that's right. I didn't I

55:49

didn't just imagine them. It's real. Yeah, that's what

55:51

I thought. Yeah I'll

55:53

speak in the first missions. Mm-hmm. Also got homeland

55:55

a son Who's now

55:57

teamed up with homelander? Yeah, they're bringing him up

56:00

because I think all of that works.

56:02

And being up is like the new potential kind of superhero

56:04

and success of the Homelander who is aging. And

56:08

still a jerk. And still a jerk. He's still not

56:10

very good, is he? And there's a lot of parallels

56:12

to the modern day, but I won't, I'd hardly get

56:14

into him. Oh, oh, oh, oh. No,

56:16

the great Eric Rifke who's just been like, yeah,

56:18

it's Trump. Yeah, he's Trump now, yeah.

56:21

And you don't have to watch it. Oh,

56:23

if you don't want to, yeah, that's true.

56:25

Yeah, you don't have to, it's true. I

56:27

mean, it's always been very overtness, political messages.

56:30

And I don't know, I feel like it's

56:32

so on the nose. Like I don't know how

56:34

you could not. I feel this season is especially

56:36

on the nose. Oh, is it more, as you

56:38

reckon it's more so? It feels like it's more

56:40

leaning very heavily into, I even-

56:42

Well, there's a new superhero who is very

56:44

much like the government's putting vaccines in our

56:46

blood and blood pressure. Yeah, like an Alex

56:49

Jones sort of character, yeah. Yeah, like a

56:51

Marjorie Taylor Greene Alex Jones. Oh yeah, right,

56:53

absolutely, yeah. Situation. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

56:56

I like the idea though of an

56:58

aging Homelander. And I also, you

57:00

see him a few times like out of the suit.

57:03

And I mean, you have previously, but he's,

57:05

so in universe, he looks like a

57:07

regularish man without the suit and they

57:09

put muscles in his suit. Because

57:11

he does it, it's to look a certain way, but he doesn't

57:14

need to work out. That's true, yeah. But

57:16

he doesn't. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I saw one

57:18

of those men's health videos with

57:20

Antony Starr who plays Homelander. And it was, you know,

57:22

what I eat in a day and my exercise and

57:24

what have you. And I think

57:27

it's predominantly to be lean. Yeah. Because you

57:29

need to be, if you're getting put in a muscle suit, you

57:31

need to be lean. Yeah. Because otherwise

57:33

you're coming out of the lumps and

57:35

bumps. Yeah, exactly, yeah. He's just slimming

57:37

it down. Yeah, but it's, cause

57:40

his dad, Soulja Boy didn't age. True.

57:43

Oh, but he was also frozen for a while, but no, he

57:45

was, he was experimented on by the Russians as well. Yeah, that's

57:47

true. And his mum was potentially

57:51

that Nazi, maybe. Oh.

57:54

And so it was like, that's hinted at. Oh, yeah. And

57:57

she's also ageless. Right. So also the one who,

57:59

the One who. His girlfriend yet might also be is

58:01

my third. I did pick up a science a that

58:03

other your whether it's actually church he could have them

58:06

are lying about it than ah but yeah and also

58:08

that i mean this also be like is not really

58:10

blonde that been dying you say ride on yeah hold

58:12

on to that one is like is this all american

58:14

did I'd say though that was really interesting. Having.

58:17

Inside to like just the. Just. The

58:19

statics of him and how it's a

58:21

oh it's old. Fights. Yes

58:23

like it's all like is just the

58:25

palace and everything else is is images

58:27

is not. Yes I'm where his view

58:29

about the violence in the whatever and

58:31

make cetera. Ah, Look is

58:33

an opening sequence where are. The. Boys

58:36

attempt to kind of a covert mission to

58:38

to poison of moronic and humans have like

58:40

some have heard some medication what have you

58:42

that's to killer and they go in with

58:44

a couple of they go in with the

58:46

couple of accomplices that alike secret service agents

58:49

on there you know on the side and

58:51

it's citizens cactus was used them like those

58:53

the two most expendable not ever seen on

58:55

television or they die out. There is no

58:57

way they're going to well the last is

58:59

opening certificate to join the group that I

59:02

didn't and I would just stayed heads with

59:04

thought author or yeah I thought. My first

59:06

thought was auto know what gambler These guys

59:08

that is gonna use the phrase to shreds

59:10

otherwise I wouldn't Their heads were torn to

59:12

shreds. Of

59:14

do it like ah. I'm

59:17

under is that there's a multiple man. Punch.

59:19

Up situation there is. That's true, I enjoyed quite

59:22

a bit. yeah and I don't know maybe of

59:24

desensitized to all the gore. This point I blurted

59:26

the opening sequence will be saw the previous two

59:28

seasons worth of People Being Lies it and I

59:30

are getting the head blown off. I mean thus

59:32

far. When. I don't know is that will

59:34

see. That's as it is. Well I. Had

59:37

the previous season started off with like a

59:39

very overt kind of the last rabies save

59:41

and I think really wrap things up where

59:43

a guy. Climbed. Inside another man's penis

59:46

and on that exploded of the Iraq. I

59:48

think that's probably the yeah, that's probably the

59:50

peak of it's the opening of this is

59:52

Not yeah I mean look at for a

59:54

verb for minor spoilers. Haven't seen the season

59:56

yet, but it opens with. Ah,

59:59

Victorian. Human. daughter

1:00:01

spots the boys, you know, in their covert

1:00:03

mission and she, her face comes open and

1:00:06

she's, she's, she's been injected with V and

1:00:08

she's a soup now. And so she's just

1:00:10

thought about like, like acid, tentacle, acid, tentacle

1:00:12

is coming out of her face. Yeah. And

1:00:14

I'm like, I did have a moment

1:00:17

where I'm like, is this supposed to be shocking? Like, is

1:00:19

this like, oh, it's cause it's a little girl and she's

1:00:21

a murderer or whatever. And I'm like, nada, I don't feel

1:00:23

anything. No, same. The

1:00:26

most shocking part for me was the

1:00:28

steam room scene. That was like a

1:00:30

very unpleasant thing to look at and

1:00:32

experience. But,

1:00:34

uh, that's probably more of a spoiler. Should we

1:00:37

do some spoilers? Let's do some spoilers. I look,

1:00:39

I really enjoyed it. I think, uh, you know,

1:00:41

it is a series where I'm like, all the

1:00:43

production values are on this are really good. They

1:00:45

clearly, you know, you

1:00:48

know, this is, I don't know, it is

1:00:50

a, it is a cut above most Marvel television. I

1:00:53

hate to say it, a Disney television where it's,

1:00:55

you know, they've, and they they're

1:00:57

like, we've got to get this right. I

1:01:00

think, um, and, and they're also not churning

1:01:02

these. I mean, there's Gen V, but they're

1:01:04

not churning them out. Yeah. All the time.

1:01:06

You know, the, the, every shot looks good

1:01:08

and the effects look good. And, you know,

1:01:11

I mean, I guess the, the fake

1:01:13

movies they're making within it also look, yes,

1:01:15

they've taken the time and all the, yeah,

1:01:17

all the, all the production design looks really

1:01:20

good. And yeah, and you know, everybody's got

1:01:22

their own. I enjoy how everybody's got kind

1:01:24

of. There's, you know,

1:01:26

there's, there's the, there's the A plot and B plot

1:01:28

and everybody's off on their own little adventures and like

1:01:30

the deeps always got a C plot, you know, not

1:01:33

a C plot, SCA, but like a, like a C

1:01:35

plot. I don't know what if, if

1:01:37

you realize what you did. No, I know exactly what I

1:01:39

did. I'm clever. Um, but he's

1:01:41

always got something going on. He's not

1:01:43

really part of the main plot. Like

1:01:45

sometimes somebody's using him for something else,

1:01:47

but he's always got a.

1:01:49

Just a beautiful himbo. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah.

1:01:52

Trace, chase Crawford is always, is always working, working

1:01:54

hard in his, in his small plot in the

1:01:56

background and maybe it'll coalesce into a big thing

1:01:58

at the end. But I. Yeah, absolutely. He's

1:02:01

always got a fake

1:02:03

marriage or he's in rehab or, you

1:02:06

know. A weird sex thing.

1:02:08

A weird sex thing, yeah. Yeah, sure. Absolutely.

1:02:10

Yeah, I'm best here as ever. Oh, great.

1:02:13

It remains. Good fun. It

1:02:15

remains. Again, Gladys wrapping up at

1:02:17

five. So there's a few new heroes. Spoilers. There's

1:02:19

Sister Sage. Thunderspoil. That's right.

1:02:21

It's Sister Sage and Firecracker. Sister Sage is the smartest

1:02:24

person in the world but is off doing- Allegedly. Allegedly,

1:02:27

yeah. Exactly. She's, you know-

1:02:30

Is that true? Yeah, well, Homelander needs

1:02:32

new recruits for the seven because they're down

1:02:34

to like four. Yeah. Because

1:02:37

he killed BlacknLoft and others. And

1:02:39

Starlight left. And Baze left. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

1:02:43

So he recruits Sister Sage because he needs someone

1:02:46

who isn't just a yes man because everybody else

1:02:48

fears being, you know, lasered through the

1:02:50

head. Yeah. Which he'll do.

1:02:52

Which is, yeah. And she's running the risk all the time.

1:02:54

But, you know, she's clearly crunched the numbers and she's like,

1:02:56

you won't kill me. But he might. I

1:02:59

know you might. There's a few moments where

1:03:01

it's like, you don't like this very much,

1:03:03

does he? That's right. Yeah. And

1:03:05

he wants her- She's a really interesting character though. Yeah. Because

1:03:08

she's bad. You'd think being someone that smart,

1:03:10

you wouldn't just do this, right? I wouldn't

1:03:12

think so. Yeah. But maybe, yeah, I

1:03:14

don't know. We don't know what's in it. Maybe she's got her own

1:03:16

agenda. I mean, it just seems like she does. Yeah. Is

1:03:19

she durable in any sense? It's not really- I

1:03:21

haven't seen that way. No, I mean, there's a moment

1:03:23

where, where, where Frenchie and Marvin

1:03:26

Milk, they're, they're talking about her and they're

1:03:28

like, does she, does she have any strength

1:03:30

or anything like that? I think all

1:03:32

soups seem to be durable in some way. Like they can all

1:03:34

take a punch. Yeah. But yeah, I

1:03:36

don't know. Yeah. Yeah. Just

1:03:39

smart, it seems. Just smart. And yeah,

1:03:41

she, she's been brought in. Homelander wants a legacy

1:03:43

to leave to his kid because he's getting old. Yeah.

1:03:46

He's getting gray. Yeah. And

1:03:49

he wants, and he, you know, and he really

1:03:51

hates humanity now and he wants to, he wants

1:03:53

to leave his son in charge, basically. Yeah. And

1:03:56

so- But does he really? No, I

1:03:58

don't think he does. Yeah. I do just

1:04:00

wants an extension of himself and to live forever. Do

1:04:03

you think he well, he's the thing There's a moment

1:04:05

where he's like, I want to I think we should

1:04:07

do so much stuff together So it's like we merge

1:04:09

into one person. Yeah, is that foreshadowing that he wants

1:04:11

to put his brain in his kid's body? Possible

1:04:16

absolutely. I'm doing an Emperor Palpatine

1:04:18

style the rise of sky. Yeah.

1:04:20

Yeah, yeah force dyad. It wouldn't

1:04:22

shock me And

1:04:24

do you think this will do you think this maybe this

1:04:26

season or the start of next season will end with Homeland

1:04:28

or as president? Well, maybe I

1:04:30

mean it's because he's bought now

1:04:33

was completely superheroes. It's run

1:04:35

entirely by superheroes But

1:04:38

pushed out the CEO or whoever reminds me

1:04:40

a couple of weeks ago You mentioned John

1:04:42

colorless bazeta was gonna be the getting a

1:04:44

role in Marvel. You're like he's gonna be

1:04:46

Jake Fury I've not heard that

1:04:49

repeated anywhere else. I saw it somewhere. Okay

1:04:51

with a speculation on so I can't write

1:04:53

about calm Okay, right. Yeah. No, that was

1:04:55

a speculative thing. Okay, right. Yeah. Yeah. Well,

1:04:57

he's out. Yeah Did he die can't

1:04:59

remember what if you just walk away? Oh,

1:05:01

I don't know. Yeah, probably got landed But

1:05:03

odds are he got like but yeah, what

1:05:05

is now? Yeah completely entirely run by Homelander

1:05:08

it it seems Hmm. I

1:05:10

mean, yeah, it does seem to be moving towards that

1:05:12

and he's doing is doing rallies and stunning

1:05:14

riots and yes Absolutely. Yeah kind of stuff.

1:05:17

I'd give you Dean Morgan's also in this

1:05:20

He's another kripke favorite isn't he he is isn't

1:05:22

he? That's that multiple man guys a kripke fire.

1:05:24

Yeah Yeah, Tiffany Morgan

1:05:26

is what's he's dealing this

1:05:28

he wants Ryan basically Yeah,

1:05:30

he wants to turn he wants to

1:05:32

turn a homelander slash butcher son into

1:05:34

a into a CIA assets Yeah, you

1:05:37

know turn turn him around because if

1:05:39

he he's potentially stronger than Homelander Yeah,

1:05:41

so if he'd go if he grows

1:05:43

throughout on whole adulthood under

1:05:45

the tutelage of Homelander He'll become

1:05:47

probably the world's greatest murderer. Yeah, but it's

1:05:49

very clearly not going that way Yeah,

1:05:52

I think that the butcher

1:05:54

and Ryan stuff is good as well. They have

1:05:56

a few moments together as a moment I'll butcher

1:05:58

can bake by the way Yeah, he's

1:06:00

doing quite well. He wasn't struggling at all. He was

1:06:02

having a great start. Flying through that. Yeah, alright. Uh,

1:06:05

I liked all of that. Huey's mom is

1:06:07

in this as well. Yeah. They also acknowledge

1:06:09

that- Played by, um, Tsk tsk tsk tsk.

1:06:11

Rosemary Dewitt. What's she from again? Standoff. The

1:06:14

TV series Standoff. Standoff it is. With Burger

1:06:16

from Sex and the City. Burger. Mmm. Um,

1:06:18

it's interesting they finally acknowledge that Huey is

1:06:20

tall. Oh yeah, right. So like

1:06:22

he's 6'3, alright? Yeah. Like, his homeland is not. He's

1:06:24

maybe 5'10? Right, yeah,

1:06:27

okay, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I thought that was, that

1:06:29

was interesting. Another thing I really liked about this

1:06:31

is that pretty much all the

1:06:34

saves that you see the superheroes do.

1:06:36

Yes. Are life. Yeah, absolutely. None

1:06:38

of them are real. Cause they set up

1:06:40

Ryan for his first save and it's all

1:06:43

very carefully choreographed and they're

1:06:45

doing it in public and, and, and, and I

1:06:47

just think that's- And A-Train's also

1:06:49

talking about a previous terrorist

1:06:51

plot that he's thwarted and his brother's like, that

1:06:54

didn't happen. That's right. Yeah, that's not a, that's

1:06:56

not a real thing. Uh huh. A-Train's

1:06:58

story and this is interesting actually.

1:07:00

James Rosemary DeWitt is married to

1:07:02

Ron Livingston, a co-star on

1:07:04

the TV series Standoff where they play

1:07:06

a former couple that breaks up but

1:07:08

they're also crisis hostage negotiators. I remember

1:07:10

that show. Yeah. He also win milk.

1:07:12

Netflix is always trying to push milk

1:07:14

on me. Is that what it's called? It's called

1:07:18

Milk Something. Louder Milk. Louder Milk. Yeah. That's

1:07:20

not Louder Milk. Cause milk is about the

1:07:22

Harvey Milk, the, the- Oh, okay. So even

1:07:24

louder than Harvey Milk. Even louder than Harvey-

1:07:27

That's the tagline. This dude's even louder than

1:07:29

Harvey Milk. You wouldn't believe

1:07:31

it. But yeah, I like

1:07:33

all of that, that the whole like, even the, they

1:07:36

don't do it. They, they just don't do anything

1:07:38

good. Right. Like at all. Mm. Uh,

1:07:41

you know, like it's just,

1:07:43

and when they are in a situation

1:07:45

where they have to do something, they

1:07:48

always bungal it. They always like laser

1:07:50

someone in half or kill a child

1:07:52

or something terrible happens. Um,

1:07:54

okay. We were talking about this before the show. There's

1:07:57

a penis situation in this, right? Yeah. There's a

1:07:59

moment where the- But the whole situation also.

1:08:01

There's also, yeah. So there's

1:08:03

a moment where the multiple man, man,

1:08:05

multiplies multiple times. And he is, um,

1:08:09

we didn't mention firecracker as the new kind

1:08:11

of, she is, uh, she is the Alex

1:08:13

Jones, the Marjorie Taylor Greene. She's the. Personal

1:08:15

beef with starlight. She's the one spreading all

1:08:17

the conspiracy theories about all, you know, all

1:08:20

teachers are groomers and all this and

1:08:22

you know, there's secret bases under the

1:08:24

starlight foundation and, you know, and causing

1:08:26

people's brains to melt, et cetera. So

1:08:29

her camp, her like assistant set up

1:08:31

guys, like a multiple man type person.

1:08:33

Yeah. Yeah. And so if you, when

1:08:35

he splits him, another person, the

1:08:38

clothes don't go with him. No, he's a nude

1:08:40

man. Is a nude man. So he has a

1:08:42

big nude fight among another thing in the sauna,

1:08:44

but so he's, they're all

1:08:46

nude, right? And it's all him. Yes. And

1:08:49

I, I've read this somewhere

1:08:51

else and I can't remember the article, but

1:08:53

it's basically that most penises you see on

1:08:55

TV are fake. So he's, he'd be wearing

1:08:57

some sort of nude underpants. Yeah.

1:08:59

And then they get a fake penis and

1:09:02

they glue it on. And I think it's

1:09:04

for continuity because if you're filming all day,

1:09:06

that's right. You don't know what

1:09:08

you're going to say. That's so true. Yeah, that's right.

1:09:11

I see you don't know this for sure. You just, you just

1:09:13

reckon. I think it's part of it. Yeah. And also like, do

1:09:15

you really want to stand around nude all

1:09:18

day? You get cold. You get cold. I

1:09:20

mean, you know, yeah. I'm

1:09:22

looking at the Wikipedia page and it's got all the

1:09:25

various characters, but it doesn't have John color Esposito in

1:09:27

there. So I don't know what happened to that guy.

1:09:29

Oh wow. Okay. Let me go. You think, cause he

1:09:31

was the CEO for like two seasons. Yeah. It'll

1:09:34

just say he got his headlays it off. This is

1:09:36

Stan Edgar. Stan Edgar, sure.

1:09:38

Status alive. Yeah. What officially

1:09:40

announced that it would be serving its titans season

1:09:42

three starts from Stan with Stan Edgar supposedly appalled

1:09:45

by his actions and praising Homeland for his bravery.

1:09:47

Vought also announced that it'll be conducting a thorough

1:09:49

investigation into his actions of whatever the thing is

1:09:51

that he did or why not have done. Yeah.

1:09:54

It's kind of a waste then I feel right. No,

1:09:56

he might come back. Yeah. Uh, goofy

1:10:00

roles. Yeah, he seems like a real laid

1:10:02

back dude in real life. Yeah. Like

1:10:05

he's always, like you see him in interviews and

1:10:07

he's fun and he's cool and whatever and then

1:10:09

he then they're like, what if you played a

1:10:11

really stoic sinister man? I guess.

1:10:13

Every time. Yeah, every time. I mean,

1:10:16

it's worked. Oh yeah. You know?

1:10:19

Absolutely. A few things that I enjoyed, Mason. There's

1:10:22

a Mortal Kombat slash injustice style game. Yeah.

1:10:25

Which is a lot of fun. It's Lamplighter

1:10:27

who was one of the Ashmores from previous.

1:10:29

One of the Ashmores. That's correct. And

1:10:32

who was the other character? I can't remember. Someone

1:10:34

from the 70s. Yeah. Yeah.

1:10:37

She's like a retired hero. She's like a retired hero. Yeah. Yeah.

1:10:40

There's a war on Christmas musical on

1:10:42

ice. That's right. Which turned into a

1:10:44

bloodbath. Yeah. That was a moment where,

1:10:47

so where Huey's trying to escape and. Yeah.

1:10:50

So Huey wants to, the boys

1:10:53

need to, they need to get a bug in,

1:10:55

in a, sorry. Victoria Newman's visiting

1:10:57

the, the new, uh, Vought

1:11:00

on Ice. Yep. Spectacular. And,

1:11:02

and the boys know and they want to get in there

1:11:04

and bug, uh, you know, her meetings. So they know. And

1:11:07

not like bugger, not like mess around. No, that's so true.

1:11:09

But Homelander shows up as well. And so of course, uh,

1:11:12

he, he gets wind of the boys being there and

1:11:14

he's like, I'm going to laser everybody. Homelander's got super

1:11:16

smell as well. He's got super smell. I don't think

1:11:18

I knew that prior. Yeah. But you'd

1:11:20

think that like he would be able to catch

1:11:22

him. Instantly. I mean, I know like A-Train like

1:11:24

rescued Huey. But Huey's just like walk, always Simon

1:11:26

Pegg, who's Huey's dad is in hospital. Um, something

1:11:29

happens to him. And do you think he's really

1:11:31

there or do you think it's, uh, the CGA? I

1:11:34

think they filmed a few, a few like, like,

1:11:37

I think you'll be in it. I think it'll wake up. Right. But

1:11:39

I think they filmed him a few times, probably over a few days

1:11:42

and they just cut to whatever day out there to make sure you

1:11:44

know it's Simon Pegg. But then he's just

1:11:46

like going to the hospital and walking about because

1:11:48

Homelander, as we've seen from previous seasons, he's often

1:11:50

fly over the city and he would just keep

1:11:52

doing laughs until he finds who he's looking for.

1:11:54

So like if I was Huey, I just wouldn't

1:11:57

be out and about. No. No.

1:12:00

in the bottom of the ocean. That's exactly right.

1:12:02

Speaking of, I think about this all the time,

1:12:04

but isn't it wild that

1:12:06

you're Simon Pegg and you

1:12:09

get a role in this show because in

1:12:12

the original comic book, Hughie's look

1:12:14

was based on you. So

1:12:16

when they made the show and Simon

1:12:19

Pegg aged out of the role, I guess, or they

1:12:22

didn't want, you know, they wanted, or he was busy,

1:12:24

or they just wanted to recast. They just

1:12:26

went, well, we'd better get Simon Pegg in this for

1:12:28

some reason. We have to. And you

1:12:30

just get a call and you're like, do you want to show up and

1:12:32

get paid to be in a couple of scenes on the show? Yeah.

1:12:36

We'll fly you over wherever you are, fly you here and

1:12:38

do the show. Yeah, do a couple of days. That's

1:12:40

crazy. It is crazy. Do you...

1:12:44

Hughie's Scottish, isn't he? In the comic? He's

1:12:46

wee Hughie. I think he is Scottish. Yeah,

1:12:48

I might be wrong. Yeah. And

1:12:50

Butch is British. Yeah, he's British. Don't you

1:12:52

forget it. I know from his British accent. Don't forget

1:12:55

it. I know it's because he's British. But don't forget

1:12:57

it. I won't forget it. I enjoyed... There's

1:12:59

a moment where the deep is eating a

1:13:01

bloomin' onion and it's got sauce and he's

1:13:04

licking his fingers, but he's got gloves on.

1:13:06

I'm just like, I hate that. I hate

1:13:08

that. Amazon gives you little pieces of trivia.

1:13:11

And it said that's an actual bloomin' onion. They went

1:13:13

to Outback Steakhouse and they got it. So on

1:13:15

the day. It was a... Do you think it

1:13:17

was a product placement also? I mean,

1:13:19

did Amazon even need to do...

1:13:23

I don't think... I think they just wanted to...

1:13:25

They just went and got one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've also written

1:13:27

here, they acknowledge that Hughie is tall. So what

1:13:29

do you think is going on? There's a moment where... I

1:13:32

think I have a theory on this, but please, I want you

1:13:34

to say the wrong theory and then I'll say the right theory.

1:13:36

Also, what you're going to say is the Vorton Iceblood Bath. Oh

1:13:38

yeah. It just descends

1:13:40

into chaos. Everybody's... Jesus is cuttin'

1:13:42

throats. Yeah, it

1:13:45

became immediately like a Monty Python

1:13:47

sketch where everybody's cutting everybody's fingers

1:13:49

off and kicking ice skates

1:13:52

into people's throats and etc. I

1:13:54

think they were like, well, we haven't had a blood bath

1:13:56

yet. No, absolutely. Are those vents

1:13:59

lead lined? Must be.

1:14:01

They must be. They must be. Yeah. So

1:14:04

sister said she's on the couch. Yeah. She's

1:14:06

watching, she's eating a blooming onion and watching trash television

1:14:08

and vegging out and then you're just the smartest person

1:14:10

in the world. That's right. And then

1:14:12

the deep comes in. And then they get together.

1:14:14

They hook it up, Mason. Oh yeah. Okay.

1:14:17

They've got the ribs for each other. Oh, that's not

1:14:19

what they, no, I don't like any of this. But

1:14:21

all right. Yep. Go ahead.

1:14:24

And then you see on the table, there's like a stick. Oh.

1:14:26

Like it's got a bunch of blood and goop on

1:14:29

it. So my guess would be that sister

1:14:31

Sage killed the deep's

1:14:34

girlfriend, the octopus, play-by-tilde Swinton.

1:14:37

Is it really? Yeah. That's

1:14:39

tilde Swinton. That's great stuff. I think

1:14:42

she has a regenerative

1:14:44

brain and she swizzles her

1:14:47

brain at the end of the day. Oh, to

1:14:49

make herself done. To make herself, it's like getting

1:14:51

high and switching off. I'm glad you let me

1:14:53

say my dumb theory. Because

1:14:56

I guess it wouldn't make sense to kill his

1:14:59

octopus girlfriend. Yeah. Because that

1:15:01

wouldn't bring him on site, but she wants him on site for some

1:15:03

reason. Yeah. But I feel like she's

1:15:05

going to like come out of this and then be like,

1:15:07

obviously not this guy because he wants to watch Transformers 2.

1:15:10

Yeah. Right. Okay. You're

1:15:13

absolutely right. Yeah. It's switching

1:15:15

your brain off. That's a great theory. That's fun. I

1:15:17

don't know whether that's true. No, I think we're absolutely right. Yeah. We

1:15:20

talked about the pain before. that

1:15:23

as my own. Before this episode comes out. Yeah,

1:15:26

you should. Yeah. And even after, because nobody

1:15:28

I know in real life listens to this. No, you shouldn't. You

1:15:30

shouldn't. Any theories on where this is going

1:15:32

to go, Mason? I think I reckon it

1:15:34

is probably home. But President Homelander? I think

1:15:37

it's Homelander for President. I think the, because

1:15:39

so. From Gen V

1:15:41

cameos or something from Taylor? Yeah. So

1:15:43

Homelander and Firecracker, they have a meeting

1:15:45

with Victoria Newman and they,

1:15:48

their plan is, as

1:15:51

architected by Sister Sage, is

1:15:53

you get Victoria Newman

1:15:55

in as Vice President, the President

1:15:58

is killed in an accident because you can't care. because

1:16:00

they would just know it's an assassination. They

1:16:03

get him killed in some sort of accident,

1:16:05

and she becomes the president, and she comes

1:16:07

out as a soup, and then they dismantle

1:16:09

the Department of Superhuman Affairs, and they make

1:16:11

all these changes that work for them, and

1:16:14

then they, because one of her opponents

1:16:17

is like, we're gonna take superheroes out

1:16:19

of government, and out of law

1:16:21

enforcement, and out of everything. We gotta put

1:16:24

them back in the movies or whatever.

1:16:26

And so I think she might push through,

1:16:29

and maybe even become the president,

1:16:32

make all these laws, and then Homelander runs against

1:16:34

her. Maybe we have a little time jump,

1:16:36

and then it's like, well now, oh, it's

1:16:38

legal now for me to run for president, well now

1:16:40

I'm going to, kind of thing. And then he goes

1:16:42

on a platform of, he's the people's

1:16:44

champion, even though he hates everybody, and he

1:16:46

wants to murder literally everybody who exists. Who

1:16:48

could that be a parallel of Mason? Barely

1:16:51

even exaggerate. What you, a man who

1:16:53

hates his audience. No, Mason, I love

1:16:55

all that. I don't love him. I

1:16:58

don't know, I think he's- I like most

1:17:00

of our listeners. That's great. And he

1:17:02

means you, the one that's listening right now. Look,

1:17:05

some people consider their listeners family. I

1:17:08

don't. Interesting. I don't consider

1:17:10

that. Okay. Yeah, I don't- I've got mad respect

1:17:12

for that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I reckon

1:17:15

maybe that, maybe season five is, I

1:17:19

reckon they might do jump to season five, he's just

1:17:21

the president. I think they need to do a time

1:17:23

jump, because Ryan is aging. So it's gotta

1:17:25

be true for you. So yeah, you might do, yeah. So

1:17:27

you do, you do, Homelander is the president, and

1:17:30

his son is becoming the most powerful

1:17:32

soup in the world. Yeah,

1:17:34

powerful soup. Very powerful soup. Look at what kind of

1:17:37

soup, would you consider powerful? They have to be hot.

1:17:39

Yeah. Like a- Like a spicy soup,

1:17:41

or like- No, like hot, hot, like not a gazpacho.

1:17:43

That's not a, that's not a, that's not a world

1:17:45

ending soup, is it? No. No. It's

1:17:48

gotta be hearty as well. Okay. You got

1:17:50

some chunks in it. Like a veg, like a,

1:17:52

maybe a shank soup. Like it's got like

1:17:54

a- Yeah, okay, sure. Yeah, okay, right, yeah. Maybe

1:17:57

a pumpkin with a lot of cheese, a great

1:17:59

cheese. That's not bad. That's a hearty soup. Also you

1:18:01

probably do a bread with that, a crusty bread. That's

1:18:04

true. He's dipping folks.

1:18:06

He's probably doing a dip. He's doing a dipping

1:18:08

motion. It's a powerful dip. That's true. Yeah,

1:18:11

so then he sort of had

1:18:13

like the political family together, you

1:18:15

know, and then, I

1:18:17

don't know, his homeland are dying as well, do you think? I

1:18:20

think he's just getting up. I think he's just in

1:18:22

the mid 40s. Okay, sure, yeah. Cause there's a moment

1:18:24

where he's, you know, he's had a day and he's

1:18:26

just kind of, and his son won't talk to him

1:18:29

or whatever. And he's just like, he's holding his head

1:18:31

in his hands. Do you think that's just in his

1:18:33

40s? I think he's just in his 40s and a

1:18:35

man who doesn't love anybody or anything, himself. That's what

1:18:37

I, and he's never gone to therapy and he's got

1:18:39

everything he's ever wanted. And then, so the CIA, I

1:18:42

think, or the government at

1:18:44

large, they're creating a virus that is ideally

1:18:46

gonna. Oh yeah, we saw that in Gen

1:18:48

V. Yeah, so that, but it's not powerful

1:18:50

enough to kill him yet. So

1:18:52

I don't know if, also we haven't

1:18:54

seen a return of Soulja Boy yet. No.

1:18:57

We've got a few options and I think it's either, I

1:18:59

think that'd be more of a season five. Yeah,

1:19:02

yeah, yeah, yeah. I think we could see him

1:19:04

or, I mean, they've already talked

1:19:06

about it. Because he has the ability

1:19:08

now to remove anybody's superpowers, seemingly. Equally strong

1:19:10

to Homelander, maybe. Maybe he's a little bit.

1:19:13

But I don't know if you can bring

1:19:15

him back to defeat Homelander. No, I don't

1:19:17

think that will be like the, because they

1:19:19

already, they did a season about that. Yeah,

1:19:22

I mean, look, also

1:19:25

some people have suggested maybe the final season

1:19:27

is Butcher is the bad guy. But

1:19:30

I don't know if we're gonna lean towards

1:19:32

that. I very, look, if I can imagine

1:19:34

the final scene of this show, it is

1:19:36

Homelander loses his powers and everybody beats him

1:19:39

up. Yeah, yeah. You know? With a crowbar.

1:19:41

Yeah. That crowbar is head off. I

1:19:43

think that's probably very on brand for the comic. Yeah,

1:19:45

I don't think, like I doubt they're gonna go with

1:19:47

everybody repounds up with temporary V and then they, you

1:19:49

know, there's a big pitched superhero battle. I think it

1:19:51

ends with him going to laser

1:19:53

them and realize he's lost his powers.

1:19:56

And it'll probably end with like a

1:19:58

very gory headstone pull. Absolutely, yeah. Yeah.

1:20:01

Do you think Butcher will die? Yes.

1:20:04

But not in the season. No. Because

1:20:06

I mean where else are they going to go with that? You

1:20:08

know, nobody in this universe has... But Butcher will kill

1:20:11

Homelander, right? I think so, yeah. Like that's how it's

1:20:13

going to go, right? I think so, yeah. Yeah.

1:20:16

Or Huey kills him. I don't know, Huey's kind of...

1:20:18

I mean, he had his thing with A-Train because A-Train killed

1:20:20

his girlfriend, but that's kind of... We

1:20:22

haven't really even discussed that. We've got A-Train... He's... He's

1:20:25

a mole. He's having... He's questioning his role

1:20:27

in everything and he's giving information to the boys. So

1:20:29

when's he going to die? Are we going to die?

1:20:31

Yeah, he will. I don't think he'll make it out.

1:20:35

They haven't killed somebody major in a

1:20:37

while, I feel. Oh, so somebody's got to go,

1:20:39

yeah. Yeah. Maybe Frenchie, who's in

1:20:41

love now? Maybe Melvin Hillk. Maybe... Oh,

1:20:44

I hate that. Maybe Kamiko. She's kind

1:20:46

of invincible, but... She seems... That would be, I guess,

1:20:48

the kind of... Well, that's the thing, because she seems

1:20:50

even more invincible than she was in previous

1:20:52

seasons. At the start of this season, she

1:20:55

loses an arm and it grows back. Immediately, yeah.

1:20:57

It starts growing back immediately. Yeah, I didn't know

1:20:59

she... I thought there was going

1:21:01

to be a long reveal where you think she's crippled for

1:21:03

life, but then later in the episode, she's growing the arm

1:21:05

back or whatever, but it's like no seconds later. What's

1:21:08

her sisters in this or something, it seems? Maybe, yeah.

1:21:10

Or somebody she knows from childhood. Yeah, but is that

1:21:12

a fakeout, if you like, well, she's more invincible than

1:21:14

ever before. Yeah. Exactly. That's

1:21:17

what I mean. Yeah, tricky. I like the

1:21:19

relationship she has with Frenchie as well. Me

1:21:21

too. A fun little pair. He's got his

1:21:24

own situation going on. That's true. She can make her family

1:21:26

or whatever. All right, anyway, let us know, I guess, what

1:21:28

you think, if you want to. And

1:21:30

we'll come back to the end and we'll do a big

1:21:32

recap review. That's right, yes. All righty, should

1:21:35

we move it along? Let's move it along. So

1:21:37

what are we going to talk about? What we're reading?

1:21:39

I'm normally stuck with things. What we're reading? Yeah. Then

1:21:42

what are we going to read? to.

1:21:45

That's correct. Because some podcasts, they just spin their wheels

1:21:47

until it just sputters out, but not us. Not

1:21:50

us. We keep it going, we keep it going, then

1:21:52

one of us slips up and then it's like, ring, cut. I

1:21:54

can't bloody work like this. All the walls move, you know?

1:21:57

Yep. We're dressed as Errol Flynn.

1:22:00

They're all fakes. What

1:22:03

are we reading today? First

1:22:08

things first, I'm a realist. You're

1:22:13

a realist? Yeah. Do you think

1:22:15

that's the lyrics of that song? Yeah. You

1:22:18

not think that's the lyrics? This

1:22:20

song I know better than any song in the world. You're

1:22:22

not going to question me on this song of all songs.

1:22:25

You're not going to question me on

1:22:27

this song. Iggy Azalea comes out on stage every night when she does

1:22:30

a gig and she goes, first things

1:22:32

first, I'm a realist. Get

1:22:34

a good job, get an education, and

1:22:36

get secure, and then if you

1:22:39

want to do some, you know, maybe do some artistic things on the

1:22:41

side and you can, you know, be like me, be a realist. It's

1:22:44

a beautiful lesson. That's true. As

1:22:47

mentioned, My Wife Claire Tonti is away. She's on

1:22:49

tour again in the UK. There's

1:22:51

a bunch of shows. If you go to clairetonti.com/events, you

1:22:53

can check it out. A bunch of these are already

1:22:55

sold out. Did she get clairetonti.com? Yeah. I

1:22:58

know. I should have got it and sold it

1:23:00

to her. So, yeah, she's in Dublin at

1:23:02

the moment. By the time you hear this, she'll be out of

1:23:04

there. She'll be chased out

1:23:06

of town. Yeah. Tortures and pitchforks.

1:23:08

But if you're in the UK and

1:23:10

you're interested in going along, there's something

1:23:12

in Abercavaney. There's another thing in another

1:23:15

place. Yeah, last year, like, you

1:23:17

know, there was like a big push or whatever to,

1:23:19

like, you have the numbers now where I don't have

1:23:21

to, you know, I don't have to really hammer it

1:23:23

on. I don't think you even have to name the

1:23:25

places. I reckon if you're anywhere

1:23:27

within 5,000 miles, you should simply buy tickets and

1:23:30

go there. Exactly.

1:23:33

Even if you don't live near there. Yeah, you don't need to.

1:23:35

That's right. Yeah. Love all of

1:23:37

that. Look, I haven't watched a darn thing or read

1:23:39

a darn thing. Oh, yeah? So

1:23:41

I'm just looking at my list of stuff that I've got to

1:23:43

get through before. Okay. You know,

1:23:45

the end time. Before what? You've got Sin City

1:23:47

2 at the top of the list. That's true.

1:23:50

That's true. But number two, have you seen any

1:23:52

of the Sympathiser? Which one's that? It's from the

1:23:54

Chan Wuk series. It's a mini series. It's got

1:23:56

Robert Downey Jr. Oh, yeah. People are talking about

1:23:58

that. It looks cool. I'd rather love Robert

1:24:00

Downey Jr. in that, or he's really distracting.

1:24:03

Interesting, okay, right. Yeah, because he plays 19

1:24:06

people. Yeah, he plays different people. I guess

1:24:08

my assumption was that he was playing an

1:24:10

FBI guy or a CIA guy in different

1:24:12

wings, but he's

1:24:14

different people. He's a different man.

1:24:17

He's a Robert different man. Let me

1:24:19

know if that's a good show. It's an

1:24:21

entertaining show. We're both realists here. We want

1:24:24

a real... something.

1:24:26

Yeah, but I've... What is the actual lyrics to

1:24:28

that? First things first, I'm the

1:24:30

realist. I'm the realist. No.

1:24:33

No, it's different. They're different words. No.

1:24:36

Okay. So... Yeah, I've been pretty

1:24:38

busy. We watched the movie Kickass to talk about our

1:24:40

caravan and garbage. I went to watch Kickass 2. I

1:24:42

watched Kickass on Amazon Prime, and then I'm like, oh,

1:24:44

just what? I'll Kickass 2 with you. I'll watch a

1:24:47

little bit of Kickass 2. It's just Kickass 1 again.

1:24:50

Well, you just click it and it's just Kickass 1 again. But

1:24:52

you already saw that one. And I'm like, wow,

1:24:55

this starts quite the same. Yeah, this feels good. Is

1:24:57

this a clever callback to like... Oh, it

1:24:59

looks like it's starting the same, but then it's... No,

1:25:01

it's just Kickass 1 again. I don't know what's happening.

1:25:04

It's not a clever callback. Apparently, they're like... Have

1:25:06

you ever noticed, if you go on Amazon Prime,

1:25:08

there's just a lot of garbage on it? Yeah.

1:25:10

Apparently, anybody can upload on there. Oh, really? Like

1:25:12

YouTube. It's kind of like a YouTube kind of

1:25:14

situation. So a lot of people are like... Oh

1:25:16

my God. They're uploading stuff they don't have the

1:25:18

copyright for. You should do that. Yeah. I don't

1:25:20

want to. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Somebody pointed out that

1:25:23

there's a version of 12 Angry Men on there,

1:25:25

but they've done an AI thumbnail, so there's like

1:25:27

19 computer-generated men in the

1:25:30

thumbnail for AI-generated

1:25:32

men. What would that look

1:25:34

like? I mean, that thumbnail. Yeah. I

1:25:37

mean, if it's men in the 60s, the same. I

1:25:41

watched episode three of The Acolyte, which

1:25:43

I didn't mind because it delves into a bit of

1:25:45

the past. I'm not going to spoil it. Okay. After

1:25:48

last week, I'm like, I'm really interested in this. I'm

1:25:50

definitely going to catch up. I haven't caught up yet.

1:25:52

It's like, oh, the Jedi are bad. And

1:25:54

if anybody else is like, we want to use the force. They're like,

1:25:56

no. Can't do it. Also,

1:25:58

there's a Wookiee with a partially shaved head which

1:26:01

is very unpleasant what I

1:26:03

have been given an accident or they just think

1:26:05

oh it's like a top-notch situation huh I don't

1:26:07

know why you're a Jedi yeah sucks whoa do

1:26:09

that so I'm reading I ordered this maybe

1:26:12

even from his website a prop folks it's

1:26:14

got a it's a book called a replay

1:26:16

memoir of an uprooted family it's by Jordan

1:26:18

Meckner okay so it's not about video games

1:26:21

that is kind of about oh then I'm

1:26:23

back interested again Jordan Meckner is about doom

1:26:25

no no no in the dark in any

1:26:27

way Mason it's about Jordan Meckner do you

1:26:29

know for sure if there's any mentions of

1:26:31

doom I don't know that for sure I'm

1:26:33

not all the way through it has it

1:26:35

got an index I've a look don't

1:26:38

get your greasy hands too much on it

1:26:40

my delay that's worth a lot of money

1:26:42

too late um so Jordan Meckner created the

1:26:44

original Prince of Persia oh and

1:26:46

then of course he worked on Prince of Persia to

1:26:48

took a fair bit of a break came back for

1:26:50

the sands of time and he thought but he's not

1:26:52

just a video game dude let me tell

1:26:54

you this James yeah you handed this to me

1:26:57

as if it were a book it

1:26:59

isn't a boy I didn't have anything you

1:27:01

handed it to me as if you handed

1:27:03

it to me with it with it with

1:27:05

it with a delicate hand of a man

1:27:07

who's handing another man a book with mad

1:27:09

I just back I just have delicate hand

1:27:11

it's not a book it's a graphic novel

1:27:13

I didn't say it wasn't a graphic novel

1:27:15

he didn't say was that was basically a

1:27:17

mission I look at it's basically runs in

1:27:19

three timelines it's his

1:27:21

family escaping the Nazis in World

1:27:23

War two and trying to make their

1:27:26

way to up to the US it's him

1:27:28

developing Prince of Persia in the 80s and

1:27:30

up from there yeah and it's also human

1:27:32

from like 2015 he's on a

1:27:34

new Prince of Persia project and he's kind of a

1:27:37

relationship is kind of on the rocks and he's got

1:27:39

adult kids and so it explores that

1:27:41

yeah right those three time periods it's really interesting

1:27:43

I mean I love like the story behind Prince

1:27:46

of Persia like I love watching interviews of him

1:27:48

talking about how he made it no I'm just

1:27:50

delves into all of that like he rotoscoped his

1:27:52

brother doing all I was gonna say is there

1:27:55

any rotoscoping so much of rotoscoping in this nice

1:27:57

thing right yeah I just find him a really

1:27:59

fascinating individual And like as a creative

1:28:01

person like his process and his doubts and

1:28:03

the fact that he even put this together

1:28:05

is also like this Historical document of not

1:28:07

only his life, but his family and his

1:28:09

father and grandparents I

1:28:12

really like it so it's called replay a

1:28:14

memoir of an uprooted family. There's shades of

1:28:16

mouse in it I guess okay mouse is

1:28:18

about escaping the Nazis It's true, but I

1:28:20

would say that did anybody in mouse then

1:28:22

go and create Prince of Persia I want

1:28:24

to know maybe they create conquer bad for

1:28:26

a day. They made Mouse of Persia Which

1:28:29

is that's the unit of version of

1:28:32

not Prince of Mouse. Yeah, no interesting. Did

1:28:34

I start off? I did a little

1:28:36

bit. Yeah Sometimes

1:28:39

you have in your life many times. Yeah It's

1:28:42

not really like about idea I

1:28:44

guess if there was a comparison and sort of that

1:28:46

but not no not really because also mouse is very

1:28:49

grim It is true But um

1:28:51

anyway, I would say check it out If

1:28:53

you are a fan or a passing fan you can

1:28:56

borrow this after I read it Okay, do when you

1:28:58

get a hardcover and it gives that that the covers

1:29:00

on and then the other rides and it's already a

1:29:02

bit Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, give me a fresh

1:29:04

one Have I got this from probably

1:29:06

the pose you a fresh one. Don't give me a fresh

1:29:08

one I'll give you a fresh one and it won't be

1:29:10

with mad respect Wow,

1:29:13

okay slap fight later folks Okay,

1:29:16

we move it along. We should move it along to

1:29:18

the letters section. Here. It is. It's a theme to letters

1:29:23

Oh Yeah,

1:29:33

man, we love doing some letters don't we

1:29:35

love doing letters I tell you that much what do you like

1:29:38

about letters I love reading the letters.

1:29:40

Yeah, I love choosing a letter. Oh, yeah,

1:29:42

I love Presenting the letter

1:29:44

to you the listener. What do you get

1:29:46

your letters from my letterbox?

1:29:49

Yeah, but like I don't tell the listeners

1:29:51

where my letterbox is so they can send

1:29:53

a letter in the form of an email

1:29:55

Yeah, two weekly plan a pot@gmail.com or

1:29:57

they might want to send a tweet to

1:29:59

hashtag Weekly Planet Pod. That's correct. We'll

1:30:02

see. Don't even worry about it. He's

1:30:04

an email from Jeremy. Jeremy? Hi

1:30:06

James and Mike. Jeremy's Jeremy. First

1:30:12

things first, Jeremy's a

1:30:14

realist. That's right. That

1:30:16

Pearl Jam, Iggy Azalea mashup we've

1:30:18

always wanted. Absolutely. And we've done it.

1:30:21

You thought we could only do that with the magic of AI,

1:30:23

but James did it. I did it already. That's right. I

1:30:26

actually did it before the show. Anyway, Jeremy says,

1:30:28

I'm a relatively new listener since Finding and Binging.

1:30:30

Every caravan and garbage on YouTube has since subscribed

1:30:32

to Big Sandwich. Sick. That's a lot

1:30:35

of content. By the way, we did a book club

1:30:37

on Old Man Logan. Yep. Which is

1:30:39

going out this week. And next week we'll be,

1:30:41

we did a Let's Play on the X-Men arcade

1:30:43

game, which I finally got working. That's right. About

1:30:46

10 minutes before we recorded it. And it worked

1:30:48

somehow. It was a Christmas miracle. Jeremy

1:30:51

says, I just thought you might be interested

1:30:53

to know that your movie commentaries, specifically Multiverse

1:30:55

of Madness, which I worked on, and most

1:30:57

recently the Star Wars prequels, have been my

1:30:59

audio inspiration when I've really had to crunch

1:31:01

through a hard deadline during my storyboarding work

1:31:03

on the new MCU Fantastic Four movie. Oh,

1:31:06

tell us more about that. Yeah. He

1:31:08

says, I find the cadence of your conversation while the

1:31:10

movie plays quietly in the background to be quite good

1:31:12

for my productivity. So when you eventually see the new

1:31:14

FF film, you can claim a tiny piece of it

1:31:16

for your own. Tell

1:31:18

us the whole story now. PS, I'm dying to find

1:31:20

out what you think of Deadpool and Wolverine pretty much a

1:31:22

dream gig for me. I'm

1:31:24

excited for that. I mean,

1:31:27

it's very exciting just the fact that the

1:31:29

MCU still has storyboarders. Yeah, I know. And

1:31:31

it's not just a picture of some executives

1:31:34

pointing at the director going, we'll do it later. Yeah.

1:31:38

We'll do it later.

1:31:40

That's super cool. Now, I imagine Jeremy's under all sorts

1:31:42

of NDAs and so forth. So

1:31:45

we won't ask him to send us all

1:31:47

his storyboards for the Fantastic Four movie. And a

1:31:50

costume. If he could find... I

1:31:52

want the thing... Yeah, yeah, yeah. We would never

1:31:54

ask you to go... I want the one from

1:31:56

the... Find a

1:31:58

pretense to go to the set and be like... Yeah,

1:32:01

well you have what we never would never

1:32:03

suggest to you we need you to storyboard

1:32:05

a scene Where the the new

1:32:07

Fantastic Four go into the previous Fantastic Four dimension and

1:32:09

they steal the things old underpants Yeah, so they have

1:32:12

to be on set and then you figure out a

1:32:14

pretense to go on the set Oh, I need to

1:32:16

do story. I'm in a hurry then you're like the

1:32:18

boss told me I need to think Exactly,

1:32:21

and then you take the things underpants and then you

1:32:23

send us the things underpants. Yeah, we'd never ask you

1:32:25

to do that No, but we're assuming you're doing

1:32:27

you have to do you have to do that This

1:32:32

is where Amanda man is always wonderful on

1:32:34

1:33:20

next room There's like a bigger space. Yeah,

1:33:22

anything with it Basically stores things that I'm

1:33:26

not using whatever this bunch of lamps that

1:33:28

Claire had for something And

1:33:31

I just I would like to turn it

1:33:33

into something but I don't want a roll

1:33:35

1:33:37

1:33:41

think my kids would love it as well

1:33:43

I would like it as well. Yeah, I

1:33:45

think it lady one of them would need

1:33:47

a little chair I think yeah, why don't

1:33:51

1:34:09

the thing as well. Like it's it. You got a PS5

1:34:12

What was that? Oh, yeah, that's putting it

1:34:14

towards that doesn't that's not you know what just

1:34:16

a you know, I would I would go to

1:34:18

one of those restaurants that like a like one

1:34:21

of it like a Cuz

1:34:23

I because of like they're all over 500 like

1:34:25

so so money like money wise money is no

1:34:27

object Yeah, I know it's 500 dollars But

1:34:30

like if somebody was like like hey, do

1:34:33

you want to go to this restaurant? It's $500 I'll

1:34:35

be like that's an awful lot of money, but somebody's like

1:34:37

he is $500 and you got

1:34:39

to spend it now different what if I

1:34:41

went to a fancy like a seafood restaurant

1:34:43

Yeah, like a lobster like a lobster dinner.

1:34:45

I actually want to see food died Mason.

1:34:47

Yes. I eat exclusively seafood Very good. We

1:34:50

got one of those like years ago. I think it was

1:34:52

like a wedding gift or something Yeah, I went to one

1:34:54

of those fancy ones and was up in a tower and

1:34:56

I do like a good restaurant This is like too far

1:34:58

and I like it Yeah,

1:35:00

it was a lot of like they'd bring out a

1:35:03

thing and then they're like, okay So we got you

1:35:05

the specialty cost $90 or whatever Yeah, and they're like,

1:35:07

but you got to let it sit for exactly one

1:35:09

minute and 30 I know that's a much we don't

1:35:11

think that's the thing because I don't want The

1:35:14

the absolute last thing I want in the world ever

1:35:17

is for anybody to make a fuss over That's what

1:35:19

it felt like what I want is I want a

1:35:21

restaurant where it's like expensive stuff But they just and

1:35:23

seafood is that because it's just like here you go

1:35:25

down. It's just like you as a lobster Yeah, there's

1:35:28

a lobster and a beer and a and a kind

1:35:30

of a thing to crack the claws open

1:35:32

Yeah, and I'm like yeah, and it's like he is

1:35:34

like he's an entire container of butter Yeah, and you just

1:35:37

dump the butter on and then you just eat a lot

1:35:39

of stuff You go. Yeah, I'm young and you put the

1:35:41

butter container on your head like a hat exactly That's

1:35:44

exactly right. That's what I would do. I think

1:35:46

yeah I don't know if there'd be any change

1:35:49

left over because these restaurants like it there's a

1:35:51

few like in Melbourne and they're so expensive Yeah,

1:35:53

they're like you want to buy a gift certificate

1:35:55

the 50 these gift certificates are 50% off They're

1:35:57

feeling the people who go there. It's just exclusively

1:35:59

gifts Yeah, no exactly. Yeah, I think the food isn't

1:36:01

good enough to like to be like yeah, I'll just

1:36:03

pop it. That's what I'm talking about Yeah Yeah The

1:36:06

one that we went to was like they started off

1:36:08

with like really buttery bread and then it

1:36:10

went from there and everything was So buttery we got

1:36:12

to like course three or four and there was like

1:36:14

nine and the guy was like we're just getting started

1:36:16

1:36:20

like do you want to tour and I'm like not

1:36:29

of the one of the court is looking at a chair

1:36:33

1:36:39

1:36:42

I do lobster and then I do like a second lot.

1:37:04

James speaking of the thing you said Jordan

1:37:06

Macna this from Alex Prince of Persia remake

1:37:08

coming. Yes Hi James and my so James

1:37:10

will be pleased to hear that Ubisoft announced

1:37:12

a video game remake of Prince of Persia

1:37:14

the sands of time You knew that this

1:37:17

got me wondering what video game franchise do you wish

1:37:19

would be brought back? The

1:37:21

Alex says my choice to be either Star

1:37:23

Fox or bomber man I would love to

1:37:26

see another Star Fox right our wing as

1:37:28

it was known Yeah, well lilac Wars on

1:37:30

the Nintendo 64 for some reason right? Oh,

1:37:33

that's a bit of Star Fox. I

1:37:35

mean fucking through that's true Yeah, I

1:37:37

want a Donkey Kong 3d style Mario

1:37:39

game, right? Okay. Yep, you know like Donkey

1:37:41

Kong 64 Whatever

1:37:45

that big environment one was yeah I

1:37:47

mean a lot of my remake wishes have come true

1:37:49

because there was a new Monkey Island game I true

1:37:51

which I played and I enjoyed yeah Had

1:37:54

some weird divorce slides going on in I think

1:37:56

there was I think there was intended to be

1:37:58

a divorce subplot They got rid of it. That's

1:38:00

fun Um, uh, if anybody

1:38:02

has any insider knowledge, let me know. Let us

1:38:04

know. Um... I wanted a Shadow of the Colossus

1:38:06

thing and they did. Do you remember, you know

1:38:08

in the year of the Doom clones? Yeah. It

1:38:10

was Heretic and Hexa. I remember Heretic. Which were

1:38:13

like Doom, but magic. But you had a stick

1:38:15

that shot magic. Exactly. Maybe a

1:38:17

Heretic remake. Yeah. Something like that. Are they

1:38:19

doing Quake? I feel like they're doing something with

1:38:21

Quake in them. Yeah, I think they might be, but also I

1:38:23

kind of feel like Doom checks all

1:38:25

the boxes. Yeah, they're... Like it's the premiere

1:38:28

thing. And if they go... Because Quake was

1:38:30

sort of like Doom, but...

1:38:34

HP, Lovecraft, Lovecraftian horror kind of stuff. Exactly.

1:38:36

3D stuff too. And I think they're like,

1:38:38

well people liked Quake, but also if we

1:38:40

just do Doom, but it's sort of medieval

1:38:43

and sort of magic. Yeah. It

1:38:45

checks all the boxes kind of thing. Oh, I figured

1:38:47

it out. Jedi Knight 2. Dark Forces do Jedi Knight.

1:38:49

They just did Dark Forces. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love

1:38:51

that game. It's one of my favorite games. Keep all

1:38:53

the FMV stuff. Maybe jazz it up a little. Mm-hmm.

1:38:56

Slicker graphics slightly. Yeah. Keep it

1:38:58

the same. Love it. Yeah. Well, obviously,

1:39:00

and this will never happen because they've fallen

1:39:02

down the live service well, but I would

1:39:04

love to see another Batman Arkham game that

1:39:07

is in the style of Arkham. Oh, god.

1:39:09

Asylum, which is just the self-contained and you

1:39:11

don't have to run all

1:39:13

over the city. It's just kind of... It's in

1:39:15

a small location and it's kind of... There is

1:39:17

a new one coming. But it's a VR experience.

1:39:19

I'm not getting mad that I don't want to

1:39:21

do that. I don't have to do it. I

1:39:23

wouldn't do that. Yeah, I wouldn't do it either.

1:39:25

Yeah. But I'm really happy they're doing Prince of

1:39:27

Persia. So that was starting as pretty much like

1:39:29

a reskin. And then they dumped the entire team.

1:39:31

Right. And they basically restarted it. And now it's

1:39:33

out in 2026 and it's a complete remake. A

1:39:36

la Resident Evil 4, et cetera. And

1:39:38

I love that game and I just

1:39:41

really hope that's good. I'm

1:39:43

constantly tempted to go back and play that game because I

1:39:45

love it so much. It's just all

1:39:47

I want to do, including reading this

1:39:49

book by Jordan Mackna, which I'm cutting.

1:39:51

And I'm also playing the new Prince of Persia, not

1:39:54

the roguelite one, the other one at the moment. Is

1:39:56

that it? I've got another email. I've got another one here too.

1:39:58

Oh, go. You go first. Just red blind. Okay,

1:40:01

do you mind? Who says, we're talking about aliens

1:40:03

and aliens. James said the aliens smell acidic, so

1:40:05

it probably like bleach, but bleach is actually an

1:40:07

alkaline. So aliens probably smell like a tomato. Oh,

1:40:10

yeah, okay, right, right, right. It's probably true. Yeah.

1:40:13

Mm. Acid

1:40:15

doesn't smell like a tomato. Marines, order

1:40:18

up. Tomatoes, I smell

1:40:20

tomatoes. Smell tomatoes. Get out of

1:40:23

there, game over, man, I smell tomatoes. Ripley, I smell

1:40:25

tomatoes, what do you think? Yeah, that's the alien, I

1:40:27

reckon. Sure, it's not the killer tomatoes. Is that the

1:40:29

movie Attack of the Killer Tomato? Good bay. Good

1:40:31

bay. Got another one, Mason? Here's one more room

1:40:33

after this from Chaz. Chaz. And this is a

1:40:35

very bold subject line, Star Wars Burnout and How

1:40:37

Disney Can Fix It. Whoa, here we go. What's

1:40:40

up, dudes? I don't have 50 minutes, Mason. Chaz

1:40:42

here, first time, long time, was enjoying a cold

1:40:44

adult beverage with a girlfriend and came to a

1:40:46

realization as to how Disney can fix Star Wars.

1:40:48

Well, again, it's- Is it stopped for a

1:40:51

while? It's easy, keep making numbered trilogies, maybe

1:40:53

one every 15 years and put everything else

1:40:55

into an all-encompassing Game of Thrones-style epic series.

1:40:58

Most people don't have time for the content meal that

1:41:00

has become Disney on Star Wars. Do we really

1:41:02

need a whole book of Boba Fett and countless sub-series

1:41:05

delving to the minutia of a galaxy far, far away?

1:41:07

No, just put it in one show that jumps around

1:41:09

the galaxy. Let me know what you guys think. Yep,

1:41:11

sounds right to me. I have one

1:41:13

thing going, but my opinion is

1:41:16

also just stop. Just stop

1:41:18

for a while. For a while, yeah. Let people miss

1:41:20

it, let kids grow up next generation and then you

1:41:22

go again. Oh, so

1:41:24

you're expecting the bloody bean counters to just

1:41:26

stop for a generation, James? Yeah, I am

1:41:28

expecting that, knowing that it's never gonna happen.

1:41:31

It'll happen if they're forced into it, but otherwise

1:41:33

it's not gonna happen. Very good. Again, it's like

1:41:35

the Warner Brothers Harry Potter thing. The whole, it's

1:41:38

not just that, there's a whole machine behind this.

1:41:40

This email also reminded me, yeah, I don't

1:41:43

know. I mean, because Star

1:41:45

Wars is sort of based entirely on minutia.

1:41:47

It's this idea of like everybody has a

1:41:49

complicated backstory that you don't see. There

1:41:52

was a thread on Twitter this week, you

1:41:54

might know it as X, where

1:41:56

somebody said, what's your favorite pieces

1:41:58

like? weird minutia law

1:42:01

that's canon but like oh yeah and

1:42:03

the one I saw I didn't know this

1:42:05

but um if you're not a huge star wars fan or

1:42:07

even if you are you you you may not

1:42:09

know that if ever if anybody's ever

1:42:12

asked a question about anything that's happened in a star

1:42:14

wars movie or tv series or anything like any why

1:42:16

did the person do this or why did this happen

1:42:18

or what you know what have you it's

1:42:21

somebody's written a background for it you know it's

1:42:23

like why did this draw you you know there's

1:42:25

the the famous one in A New Hope where

1:42:27

they reveal you know there's uncle Owen's gonna buy

1:42:29

a particular droid and then it blows up yeah

1:42:32

they get R2-D2 again and the reveal is that

1:42:34

that droid was like a hero

1:42:36

droid that sacrificed himself

1:42:38

so that R2-D2 could could meet

1:42:41

up with Luke and save the galaxy there's

1:42:43

another version where he's a Jedi there's two

1:42:45

yeah yeah but yes you're right so one

1:42:47

the one I learned recently is that it's

1:42:50

not just a bad droid yeah that's right

1:42:52

in Revenge of the Sith there's the scene

1:42:54

where where Mace Windu and his mates his

1:42:56

mates Windu they they

1:42:59

go to arrest Palpatine yeah and then

1:43:01

Palpatine immediately kills everybody but Mace yeah

1:43:03

and then they then they have a

1:43:05

big yeah lightsaber battle

1:43:07

and apparently the reason the

1:43:09

because that happened because Palpatine

1:43:12

put a riddle in all their heads using

1:43:15

the force and all of the other Jedi

1:43:17

except Mace Windu paused to solve

1:43:19

the riddle and that's why

1:43:21

he could kill them all so easily and Mace

1:43:23

Windu was just like no no I'm not interested

1:43:25

in this so

1:43:29

that's what was the riddle I don't know

1:43:31

just a complicated riddle wow it might have

1:43:33

been does Marcellus Wallace look like a bitch

1:43:35

and he doesn't. Savonell

1:43:38

Jackson knows the answer to that he didn't have to think about

1:43:40

it but uh yeah I do like

1:43:42

the canonically that the Mace Windu character is

1:43:44

just like fuck off to that but I

1:43:46

like the idea again the idea that somebody

1:43:48

went oh how could how could

1:43:50

Palpatine even if he's a Sith I mean if

1:43:53

you you check their relative power levels how could

1:43:55

actually Palpatine defeat three Jedi at once they couldn't

1:43:57

do it obviously so well he made a riddle

1:44:00

Oh, well that's okay. I just assumed they

1:44:02

didn't expect him to fucking leap out of

1:44:04

the chair like a like a like a

1:44:06

feral cat They've

1:44:10

never fought anything like that. No, that's

1:44:12

so funny. Probably why but yeah, that's

1:44:14

uh And again, a

1:44:16

lot of these things I assume have changed as

1:44:18

the continuity has changed, etc And maybe

1:44:21

that's just in a novelization or something. But

1:44:23

but it's there. That's their baby I just

1:44:25

got this one from Alex on Twitter who

1:44:27

says thanks for the use of entertainment man

1:44:29

Once coming story in past I realized people don't

1:44:31

get the props until they're gone much love Oh, that's

1:44:33

1:44:43

family listeners double. I think that's

1:44:50

more than family Listeners, yeah bump up

1:44:52

1:44:54

doing this than with yeah, my immediate family

1:44:58

up those numbers. I've got a lot of

1:45:00

family You got a couple of brothers and

1:45:02

1:45:06

don't bump up the numbers do they they're anti

1:45:08

leaving a 5 star review on your podcast counter of choice.

1:46:09

You can probably do it in app, I reckon. If

1:46:12

you do, James will read a review. I've

1:46:14

got a couple of these from CoachZ8170. He says,

1:46:16

great podcast. I agree.

1:46:18

A great podcast about movies and comics and TV shows

1:46:20

where I think one or both of the hosts has

1:46:22

a slight crush on an animated animal and they're constantly

1:46:25

dabbing and obviously watching red notice on repeat. One

1:46:29

of those things is not true for me.

1:46:31

And this one's from the outer juicer. He

1:46:33

says, good job. Love the pro-labor anti-billionaire

1:46:36

talk. The movie news is whatever. Thank you

1:46:38

for keeping me distracted while I work 12

1:46:40

hours delivering mail and hundreds of Amazon packages.

1:46:42

Five stars. Good for you. That's

1:46:44

hard work, man. That's right. Good stuff.

1:46:46

Sometimes you get people who say the opposite things,

1:46:48

they send us messages. That's true. They

1:46:51

don't be mean. Yeah, that's right.

1:46:53

Yeah, yeah. Because I'm invested in this

1:46:55

for some reason. That's right. Yeah.

1:46:59

I'm also delivering packages, but I love my boss

1:47:01

for some reason. Yeah. Or even

1:47:03

people who don't employ me and do active

1:47:05

bad stuff. That's right. Anyway,

1:47:08

folks, thank you so much. I'll tell you one thing.

1:48:21

through. It is a fun one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's

see Bad Boys for Bad Boys. I

1:49:00

mean, it's doing really well. Yeah, it's by the

1:49:02

guys who did Bad Girls, which people like. I

1:49:04

just find- I saw some behind the scenes stuff and Will Smith-

1:49:07

It's got the gun and whatever. Is that a wig in

1:49:09

it? Does that mean I gotta watch the other one? Do

1:49:11

you have any shots you should? Bad Boys! Come on, Bad

1:49:13

Boys. Ah, what's coming out? I think you should watch every

1:49:15

Bad Boy. With your wife away and you looking after two

1:49:17

kids, I think you should also watch all the Bad Boys

1:49:20

movies. So why would you say, do I have to watch

1:49:22

Bad Boys 2 again? That's the

1:49:24

one I have seen. And do I have to watch the first 10

1:49:26

minutes of Bad Boys 3? Yeah, although I

1:49:28

think you should watch Bad Boys 2 again to

1:49:30

get a refresher course on Bad Boys 2. I

1:49:32

want to get a refresher course. Too

1:49:35

bad, boys. Yeah,

1:49:38

I mean, it'll be that or a show or something, because a

1:49:40

week after that is a quiet place. Which we'll be looking at

1:49:42

first, right? We'll figure something out. We'll figure it out. All right,

1:49:44

thanks everyone. Grab that, Jimmy, you guys. We'll see you next week.

1:49:46

Mad respect to everybody. Bad respect. And

1:49:48
