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

3:39

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

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

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

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
the X It's what I call
1:32:36
Twitter. I hashtag we've been panna
1:32:38

1:33:00
of those things where if you can take it

1:33:16

1:33:18
got this room that we record in and
1:33:20
next room There's like a bigger space. Yeah,
1:33:22
and there's nothing in it. I've never done
1:33:24
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
of arcades when I do. Yeah, right Yeah,
1:33:37
and I think foosball so this is before
1:33:39
the boys even yeah, I was like, I
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
1:33:49
we need a little chair? Yeah, you But
1:33:51
it got him to sit down because you're
1:33:53
so old. Yeah. No, I agree I agree

1:34:04

1:34:07
you. Oh 500 bucks. Yeah, just cuz that's
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
And I was like I'm leaving I
1:36:18
was like and then on the way out is
1:36:20
like do you want to tour and I'm like not
1:36:22
really But like we
1:36:25
did it and the guys like this chair. It's like kangaroos.
1:36:27
I'm like give a fuck One
1:36:29
of the one of the court is looking at a chair
1:36:33
Wow pretty much yeah, yeah, like I would I don't
1:36:35
think I would ever spend that amount of money on
1:36:37
like dinner But if it was like we got to
1:36:39
spend this now. Yeah, they're like fair enough Because
1:36:42
I do lobster and then I do like a second lot.
1:36:44
Oh my god I would do lobster and then I would
1:36:47

1:36:49
stuff You do a rock lob some people don't like that
1:36:51
sort of seafood or they're allergic and I say I pity
1:36:53

1:37:01
you got my get an EpiPen ready exactly Uh-oh
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
very kind thing to say. Thank you Sending

1:44:38
the show that is the whole show folks Thank you

1:44:43
for that. They're like family to us aren't they? Yeah

1:44:48
family listeners double. I think that's
1:44:50
more than family Listeners, yeah bump up
1:44:52
those numbers, baby I probably spend more time
1:44:54
doing this than with yeah, my immediate family
1:44:56
I like my and do your family bump
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
yeah, I don't know They
1:45:06
don't bump up the numbers do they they're anti
1:45:08

1:45:12

1:45:20

1:45:27

1:45:29
which is how I recommend the show in real life.
1:45:31

1:45:36

you for telling your friends about the podcast. Thank you for
1:46:07
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.

commentaries, early videos, video game let's plays, as you
1:48:15
mentioned. We've got a book club. We've got, we've
1:48:17
got that X-Men arcade play. You're coming
1:48:19
up, man. Let's play. It's a fun one to go
1:48:21
through. It is a fun one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's
1:48:24
not as good as Captain America in the event. And
1:48:26
I got it running. I don't think I could stress
1:48:28
that enough. Congratulations. It's helped Lauren, that's right. Helped
1:48:30
from the great mates. Exactly. Better
1:48:32
than family. None of your family
1:48:34
fixed the X-Men arcade game, didn't
1:48:37
they? You went fucking wrong, brother. Who I have
1:48:39
mad respect for. Thank you. I'm
1:48:41
glad we brought it back to mad respect and having mad respect.
1:48:44
Which we do. That's true. Yeah. Anyway, go on. Ah,
1:48:47
let me think. Thank you to the Wooten, the Basilisk
1:48:49

week? A movie? A big time movie? We could go
1:48:58
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
