[00:00] The Weekly Planet, The Weekly Planet.

Speaker 2:
[00:03] Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of The Weekly Planet, where we talk movies and comics and TV shows. My name is James. With me is always my co-host, Nick Mason.

Speaker 1:
[00:11] Whoa!

Speaker 2:
[00:11] Mr Sunday. What? That's me.

Speaker 1:
[00:13] Yes.

Speaker 2:
[00:13] I missed the line in there, but it doesn't matter.

Speaker 1:
[00:15] I mean, it does matter.

Speaker 2:
[00:17] It doesn't matter?

Speaker 1:
[00:17] Oh, you're shaking things up, but it wasn't a mistake.

Speaker 2:
[00:19] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[00:19] All right.

Speaker 2:
[00:20] It doesn't matter.

Speaker 1:
[00:21] It seems like you're covering up for a mistake.

Speaker 2:
[00:23] I would never. I would admit all my mistakes if I ever made one, which I haven't. Mason.

Speaker 1:
[00:28] Yes, hello.

Speaker 2:
[00:28] You're like a medium sized horror movie. Actually, bigger budget than you'd think, maybe.

Speaker 1:
[00:32] A bigger budget. Because you're so spooked.

Speaker 2:
[00:37] I might be. I was a little bit spooked. It makes me think that maybe I should invest in just giant gaping corridors in my walls that people can crawl in and out of.

Speaker 1:
[00:48] Absolutely. Big crawl space is bigger than your actual house, on par.

Speaker 2:
[00:54] That's what I want.

Speaker 1:
[00:55] Room enough for another family, I guess.

Speaker 2:
[00:57] Room enough for a mummy to get in there. But that's not even the biggest thing of the week.

Speaker 1:
[01:02] Lee Cronin's The Mummy. That's what we're talking about.

Speaker 2:
[01:04] That's what we're talking about.

Speaker 1:
[01:05] I thought you were doing a joke.

Speaker 2:
[01:07] That's what's happening.

Speaker 1:
[01:08] We're going to review that.

Speaker 2:
[01:09] We're going to review that. But also, it's been Cinema Con. And there's just been a lot of stuff revealed and released about that. Some trailers we've gotten a lot we haven't. So we're not really going to talk about things that we haven't seen. We might just touch on them briefly. There's also layoffs at Disney, which we're going to talk about. We've got some trailers, including Godzilla Minus Two and Street Fighter.

Speaker 1:
[01:30] Godzilla Minus Zero.

Speaker 2:
[01:31] Minus Zero.

Speaker 1:
[01:31] But it is Godzilla Minus One, too.

Speaker 2:
[01:33] I'm going to put it just... I'm going to leave it as Godzilla Minus Two. It's easier for me.

Speaker 1:
[01:36] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[01:37] And so, yeah, there's time codes below if you do want to jump to anything.

Speaker 1:
[01:39] I will.

Speaker 2:
[01:39] But I just need to do something up top just to let people know.

Speaker 1:
[01:42] Okay, you're quitting the podcast.

Speaker 2:
[01:43] I'm not.

Speaker 1:
[01:44] Huh, interesting. Can I? Um, you can.

Speaker 2:
[01:47] Okay.

Speaker 1:
[01:48] Don't, though.

Speaker 2:
[01:49] Okay.

Speaker 1:
[01:49] Because we love doing the podcast.

Speaker 2:
[01:51] Okay. If you say so, you don't talk for me.

Speaker 1:
[01:55] But you would quit if you could.

Speaker 2:
[01:56] Oh, mate, in a heartbeat. No, actually, I wouldn't. I was thinking, I was thinking to talk to someone about this. I was thinking about, I don't know. If I had like $10 million.

Speaker 1:
[02:02] Wait a second. I was talking to somebody or you were, were you imagining a person you would normally talk to?

Speaker 2:
[02:08] Yeah, a normal person I would talk to.

Speaker 1:
[02:11] And if I was imagining talking to my friend Barry, and I would say, Barry, Barry, let me tell you something, Barry.

Speaker 2:
[02:16] If I had $1 million. But $1 million is not enough to quit anything I feel forever.

Speaker 1:
[02:20] No, absolutely not. Not anymore.

Speaker 2:
[02:21] If I had $10 million, hypothetically, I think I'd just still do this. I don't think I would stop. So what does that say about me? I'm locked in. I'm stuck in this holding pattern.

Speaker 1:
[02:30] You know what it says about us?

Speaker 2:
[02:31] What?

Speaker 1:
[02:31] Give us $10 million.

Speaker 2:
[02:33] And we'll still do it.

Speaker 1:
[02:34] Yeah. Again, I'm putting the call out. I do this every once in a while. We've got any deranged billionaires out there that listen to the podcast. $10 million each.

Speaker 2:
[02:41] Yeah, we don't like you either.

Speaker 1:
[02:42] We don't like you or respect you. You probably got all your money through doing something crook. But if you want to give us $10 million each, we will give you a podcast. We'll give you two a week.

Speaker 2:
[02:55] We can do two. Well, speaking of giving people two podcasts a week, you know we have bigsandwich.co, which is our subscription service, where there's now at this point six years of bonus content there, paywalled.

Speaker 1:
[03:08] That's right. Enough for any deranged billionaire.

Speaker 2:
[03:10] Exactly. Well, what we've actually done, and when I say we, I mean Collings, that's right, has put all of that now onto Patreon.

Speaker 1:
[03:17] Hang on, you put the idea in his head.

Speaker 2:
[03:19] Yeah, you're right.

Speaker 1:
[03:19] Well, maybe he suggested it, and then you said...

Speaker 2:
[03:21] He probably suggested it and then said, actually, I've got a good idea.

Speaker 1:
[03:24] Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2:
[03:25] Stop, stop what you're saying and thinking. I've got a good idea. Speaking to my friend Barry about this.

Speaker 1:
[03:29] Now, what were you saying, Collings? Okay, that is my good idea.

Speaker 2:
[03:33] But BigSandwich isn't going away. It's still all there and still happening. But now the entire back catalog is on Patreon.

Speaker 1:
[03:39] Wow.

Speaker 2:
[03:39] If you're looking for another platform that doesn't, that you've got also more options for payment. I'm just going to, you can skip this if you want. There are time codes if you are interested.

Speaker 1:
[03:47] You can pay with Bitcoin. No. You can pay with other cryptos. No, you can't do it.

Speaker 2:
[03:51] Ethereum. You have to use...

Speaker 1:
[03:53] Trump coin.

Speaker 2:
[03:53] Oh, yeah, actually, yeah, I'll take some of that.

Speaker 1:
[03:55] Trump Junior coin.

Speaker 2:
[03:56] I'll take more of that.

Speaker 1:
[03:57] Melania coin?

Speaker 2:
[03:58] Is it one?

Speaker 1:
[03:59] I don't know, probably.

Speaker 2:
[04:00] You can pay me with the Melania documentary. I'll take a DVD copy.

Speaker 1:
[04:04] Terrific.

Speaker 2:
[04:04] If you don't mind. If you don't know, we do video game let's plays. We do bonus podcasts, including one where you look at terrible click baits.

Speaker 1:
[04:11] That's right.

Speaker 2:
[04:11] We do a comic book club, which are now Serabi's turn into video podcasts.

Speaker 1:
[04:16] Very exciting.

Speaker 2:
[04:17] Last week, there's one on The Dark Knight Returns, which she made into a video. It's incredible. She did such a good job. What else do we do?

Speaker 1:
[04:23] Movie commentaries.

Speaker 2:
[04:23] Movie commentaries, et cetera and so forth. And early videos got picked. It's all there.

Speaker 1:
[04:28] You were saying there's drop down boxes.

Speaker 2:
[04:30] Yes.

Speaker 1:
[04:31] File folders of things. So you said you could show me, but I said I'd prefer. You didn't want to look at it. I said, I'll just imagine it. I'll imagine flying through the folders like I'm Tron.

Speaker 2:
[04:40] Like you're Tron would. Cloverfield commentary.

Speaker 1:
[04:43] I'm in a tank. I'm blowing up all the files and folders.

Speaker 2:
[04:45] You said flying.

Speaker 1:
[04:46] Bang, bang, bang. Better get to them quick.

Speaker 2:
[04:48] Bang.

Speaker 1:
[04:48] Bang. Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[04:50] Actually, there is a Cloverfield commentary coming this week with this episode when it comes out, but we're doing it in tiers because you're not supposed to apparently have one tier.

Speaker 1:
[04:59] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[04:59] So as I said, six years of content. It's at patreon.com/mrsundaymovies. These are the current tiers. We might tweak these a bit. So we'll just see how we go. There's $2, which is early access. Check in a couple of bucks to support the show. Grab early access to new Caravan of Garbage and Mr Sunday Movies videos. $5 is that plus an early edition of the podcast, which is also ad free. So this is what you're hearing now.

Speaker 1:
[05:22] Very nice.

Speaker 2:
[05:23] And $10, which is the Big Sandwich, what do you call it? Section? Entry?

Speaker 1:
[05:27] Oh, yes.

Speaker 2:
[05:27] Amount. At bigsandwich.com, it's $9. It's $10 on Patreon. It's a dollar more because there's more fees associated with Patreon. So you get four bonus shows per month, including multiple exclusive. Collin's wrote this. What a great guy. I agree.

Speaker 1:
[05:41] We'd go, stuff, I guess. You don't have to buy it.

Speaker 2:
[05:45] You don't have to.

Speaker 1:
[05:46] You don't have to pay for it. It's fine. It's not even good.

Speaker 2:
[05:48] Are you reading what I'm reading? That's what he's written here. Including multiple exclusive podcasts hosted by James and Maso Plus, full movie commentaries and video game. Let's Play signing up also unlocks the entire six years, six year archive of extra content. You also get ad free and early access rewards from all previous tiers. People also wondered, is there an easy way to listen to it or watch things? Patreon has it all there.

Speaker 1:
[06:09] A player. Yep.

Speaker 2:
[06:11] And it's an app that you can download. Because people have said, can you build an app? No. But this is like somebody has built an app.

Speaker 1:
[06:17] We don't know how.

Speaker 2:
[06:18] No, we don't know how. We did look at it at one point. It's too complicated. I want to do it.

Speaker 1:
[06:22] And they break every week.

Speaker 2:
[06:23] They break every week.

Speaker 1:
[06:25] Every podcast and video channel, whatever, has an app. You go to their subreddit and it's always like, anybody having problems with the app? Yes, we all are. It's broken again this week.

Speaker 2:
[06:35] Yeah, that's right. Also, your version is broken and my version isn't broken and whatever. Anyway, this should, it does. It's been tested. It works. And again, it's all there. Thousands of hours of stuff. If you're doing to support us, you're more than welcome to...

Speaker 1:
[06:46] It's been tested. We've all been tested.

Speaker 2:
[06:47] Yes.

Speaker 1:
[06:48] That's the slogan. patreon.com/mrsundaymovies. We've all been tested. Don't worry.

Speaker 2:
[06:53] Yeah. Again, it's to help us out. You can also pay once, download everything, quit. You can quit anytime. There's no one going.

Speaker 1:
[06:59] You can quit anything. You can quit anytime. If you want to take away anything from this, you can quit anything anytime.

Speaker 2:
[07:05] Absolutely. So, yeah. Thank you for calling us to setting that up.

Speaker 1:
[07:10] Absolutely.

Speaker 2:
[07:11] And thank you if you do decide to enjoy that. Again, you do not have to. It helps us keep a lot of this ad free, particularly YouTube videos, I guess, and pay everybody properly and all of that.

Speaker 1:
[07:22] patreon.com/mrsundaymovies. You don't have to.

Speaker 2:
[07:26] You don't have to.

Speaker 1:
[07:27] It's a great slogan, actually. Like a new t-shirt idea, standard Weekly Planet logo on the back. You don't have to.

Speaker 2:
[07:33] You don't have to. Yeah. Anyways, enough of this self-promotion, Maso.

Speaker 1:
[07:36] That's right.

Speaker 2:
[07:37] Sick of it.

Speaker 1:
[07:38] Now for promotion from other stuff, movies that we're not being paid for. You know, we're gonna review a movie. They're not paying us for that, are they?

Speaker 2:
[07:47] No, they're really not. God, it's a hell of a time. Cinema Con, it is a bit of a bloody con, isn't it? Kind of the movies. How much for a popcorn? Lots. Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[07:57] I think a medium popcorn and a medium drink in Australia is like $16 or $17.

Speaker 2:
[08:01] I'm taking my kids to Hoppers. Why is this so expensive?

Speaker 1:
[08:03] Right.

Speaker 2:
[08:04] And now, like, can we have this Hoppers special bucket or whatever? I'm like, absolutely not.

Speaker 1:
[08:07] Wow.

Speaker 2:
[08:08] I think you'll use once? No.

Speaker 1:
[08:10] But it's Hoppers vomiting up all the popcorn. We want that, Dad. We want it now. We won't want it next week.

Speaker 2:
[08:15] No.

Speaker 1:
[08:16] But we want it now.

Speaker 2:
[08:17] I get it. We all want it. Yeah. Again, which is why I bought one for me. That's right. But I'm going to use it properly. Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[08:23] You're a famous dad who takes the kids to the movies. You just go in, you buy the novelty popcorn bucket, you don't see the movie, you leave. This is for Dad's cabinet of popcorn buckets.

Speaker 2:
[08:36] Exactly.

Speaker 1:
[08:37] Wolverine mouth.

Speaker 2:
[08:38] Funny.

Speaker 1:
[08:39] Deadpool mouth.

Speaker 2:
[08:40] Funny.

Speaker 1:
[08:40] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[08:41] So we'll go through the individual studio, starting with Sony. You might have seen they released some images of Beyond the Spider-Verse.

Speaker 1:
[08:48] I did see that.

Speaker 2:
[08:49] They've now given a definitive date to, which is June 18th of 2027. So that will be the end of that cycle. Ongoing.

Speaker 1:
[08:56] Trilogy.

Speaker 2:
[08:57] It's been nearly 10 years, thanks. The first one was 2018, was it?

Speaker 1:
[09:01] You're asking the right guy. Yes. Yes.

Speaker 2:
[09:05] It was around then. So I'm very excited to see how that wraps up. It's so funny that that was supposed to come out the year after the last one. And it was just never going to happen.

Speaker 1:
[09:12] Was the first Spider-Verse more of a sleeper hit? Because the second one was huge.

Speaker 2:
[09:19] Yeah. Let me check.

Speaker 1:
[09:21] 2018.

Speaker 2:
[09:22] I forget. That's what I said. The last one was 2023. It's five years in between. That's incredible and crazy. So the second one made a talking sleeper hits Mason. Oh yes. $690 million. That's good, especially in 2023. And the first one made $9. $394. So yeah.

Speaker 1:
[09:42] Nobody bought a popcorn and a medium drink.

Speaker 2:
[09:44] And also they're so cheap to make because they don't pay anyone properly.

Speaker 1:
[09:46] That's so true.

Speaker 2:
[09:46] That's how you do it.

Speaker 1:
[09:47] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[09:47] Smart. Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[09:48] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[09:49] Think about it. Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[09:50] You say, we're not going to pay you until you crunch. Then they crunch and then they go, I'm not going to pay you anyway.

Speaker 2:
[09:56] We got you.

Speaker 1:
[09:56] Here we go you.

Speaker 2:
[09:57] You can't do anything about it.

Speaker 1:
[09:58] Do not put this on your resume. We will sue you. We're Lord and Miller.

Speaker 2:
[10:03] We are. Yeah. I think there was also some, you probably saw some posters from the Tom Holland Spider-Man movie and they showed footage from that. And I didn't look into any of it because at this point, if I'm not looking at the footage myself, I want to read a description of a spoiler and so on and so forth.

Speaker 1:
[10:17] And then Robert Downey Jr. was there and he was like, I'm Doctor Doom now.

Speaker 2:
[10:20] Oh, we get to that. That's a Disney panel, Mason. You're talking about promoting a different thing, which we will do later.

Speaker 1:
[10:25] Okay. For money?

Speaker 2:
[10:27] No. I mean, you could give me money to promote it.

Speaker 1:
[10:30] I'll think about it.

Speaker 2:
[10:31] You can give me a phone.

Speaker 1:
[10:32] I like my phone.

Speaker 2:
[10:33] But what if I had it? That would be good.

Speaker 1:
[10:36] That would be good. I do like you and I like my phone. Combine the two.

Speaker 2:
[10:40] Excellent. It's like setting up a friend with your phone.

Speaker 1:
[10:43] My phone. I have a lot of tabs open. It takes a long time to start the browser.

Speaker 2:
[10:48] I hear you, man. I hear. Resident Evil, they showed footage from that as well, which is of course the next Zack Craig movie. Apparently very different from the previous movies, but also the video games.

Speaker 1:
[11:00] No Leon.

Speaker 2:
[11:01] There's no Leon.

Speaker 1:
[11:02] No Chris Redfield.

Speaker 2:
[11:03] No.

Speaker 1:
[11:04] No.

Speaker 2:
[11:05] Ashley.

Speaker 1:
[11:06] Ashley.

Speaker 2:
[11:07] President's daughter.

Speaker 1:
[11:08] President Ashley's daughter.

Speaker 2:
[11:09] Yeah. Jill Valentine.

Speaker 1:
[11:11] No Jill Valentine.

Speaker 2:
[11:12] No Milla Jovovich. No Scissor Kicking a Rubber Dog in the Head.

Speaker 1:
[11:16] Well, to be determined. We don't know that actually.

Speaker 2:
[11:18] I wonder if there will be any nods to the other movies. The other 14 Resident Evil movies.

Speaker 1:
[11:22] There'll probably be a few spin kicks towards the other movies.

Speaker 2:
[11:26] Absolutely. So I'm really looking forward to what he does with that. They showed some footage from Jumanji Open World.

Speaker 1:
[11:32] Oh, yes.

Speaker 2:
[11:33] Which is another Jack Black, The Rock, Karen Gillan, Chris... Who's the... Which Chris is in that?

Speaker 1:
[11:37] Chris Redfield. No. Kevin Hart.

Speaker 2:
[11:39] Kevin Hart. I was going to say Chris Tucker. I'm like, no, he's in the Rush Hour movies.

Speaker 1:
[11:42] Correct.

Speaker 2:
[11:43] And he's been on Jeffrey Epstein's plane. I don't know.

Speaker 1:
[11:48] I don't know either, man.

Speaker 2:
[11:50] I didn't do it.

Speaker 1:
[11:51] I guess it's like the bus. Well, I do need to get there and the plane is running.

Speaker 2:
[11:56] Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 1:
[11:57] You know, OK, sure.

Speaker 2:
[11:58] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[11:59] Sure.

Speaker 2:
[12:00] Wild stuff.

Speaker 1:
[12:00] You can use that. Any celebrities who are listening.

Speaker 2:
[12:03] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[12:04] Just say it was like the bus.

Speaker 2:
[12:06] So I think with this one as well, it's some of the Jumanji stuff that spills into the real world again.

Speaker 1:
[12:11] Oh, yes. Very good.

Speaker 2:
[12:12] Which is, I guess, interesting.

Speaker 1:
[12:14] And are they playing, are the actors playing different characters or are they Ruby Roundhouse?

Speaker 2:
[12:19] Oh, because they do, they mix it up, don't they?

Speaker 1:
[12:21] They mix it up.

Speaker 2:
[12:22] Yeah. And I couldn't tell you.

Speaker 1:
[12:24] Well, got to wait for that trailer. Looking forward to it. Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[12:27] I mean, the last one was pretty solid. Even though I think you missed the last 15 minutes or whatever.

Speaker 1:
[12:31] I did. I had to go do something else.

Speaker 2:
[12:34] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[12:35] You know, a bit of harmless fun.

Speaker 2:
[12:36] Yeah. They're not bad. Also, Jacksepticeye, who you might know from various YouTube things, he's like an Irish gamer. He's always Irish gaming.

Speaker 1:
[12:43] Is he?

Speaker 2:
[12:44] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[12:45] Okay. I've heard the name. Is he in a movie as well? He appeared in a movie sometimes?

Speaker 2:
[12:49] Probably. He was probably in Free Guy. I don't know that for a fact, but he probably was.

Speaker 1:
[12:55] We could do those.

Speaker 2:
[12:56] What? Just go, whoa.

Speaker 1:
[12:57] Yeah. I can't believe it. Except it'd just be us, just audio.

Speaker 2:
[13:04] Yeah. He's from Cloughen. Cloghen. It's definitely, it's not how you say it. Don't come at me all like, just so I want Irish people to know that I'm also Irish.

Speaker 1:
[13:13] They love that, don't they? Yeah. We could, we could.

Speaker 2:
[13:15] I'm Irish.

Speaker 1:
[13:16] Me too. And we could move to Ireland. And we could be among our people. They love that. But he's producing a lot of land in the home country.

Speaker 2:
[13:27] He is in Free Guy.

Speaker 1:
[13:28] Yeah. We go, I can't believe it he's saying.

Speaker 2:
[13:30] And he is, and he has a cameo appearance in Iron Lung. But no, he's going to be producing an animated Bloodborne movie. Oh, which people are very excited for.

Speaker 1:
[13:37] That's exciting.

Speaker 2:
[13:38] So, you know, YouTube is again getting into the movie making space. And that's pretty exciting stuff. There was also, not for us.

Speaker 1:
[13:45] Absolutely not.

Speaker 2:
[13:45] We don't think it's that exciting, actually. Anyone can do it.

Speaker 1:
[13:48] Yeah, easily. Just use computers.

Speaker 2:
[13:51] Also, footage from the social reckoning was shown.

Speaker 1:
[13:53] Okay, yeah. Who's Zuckerberg now? It's Jeremy Strong.

Speaker 2:
[13:57] Jeremy Strong.

Speaker 1:
[13:57] Who I think is Mark Strong.

Speaker 2:
[13:58] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[13:59] Based on a video we did a while back.

Speaker 2:
[14:00] Oh yeah, that's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:
[14:01] Which is fine.

Speaker 2:
[14:02] I think it's fine.

Speaker 1:
[14:03] Don't take it back. I won't take it back.

Speaker 2:
[14:04] I wouldn't want you to take it back. You flinched when you opened that can.

Speaker 1:
[14:09] No, I didn't.

Speaker 2:
[14:09] You're a coward.

Speaker 1:
[14:10] You're a coward.

Speaker 2:
[14:12] But the way you said that, that I'm a coward, makes it sound like you're a coward.

Speaker 1:
[14:15] Shut up.

Speaker 2:
[14:20] And The Legend of Zelda has finished filming.

Speaker 1:
[14:23] I didn't know they were dating.

Speaker 2:
[14:27] They're not.

Speaker 1:
[14:28] Okay, right.

Speaker 2:
[14:28] So, I don't know what...

Speaker 1:
[14:30] Who said that again? I forgot.

Speaker 2:
[14:31] People we don't know or remember.

Speaker 1:
[14:33] Terrific. Newbies.

Speaker 2:
[14:34] Newbies, exactly.

Speaker 1:
[14:35] And it's live action or it's animated?

Speaker 2:
[14:36] It's live action. You've seen footage of... No, that one image of it or what?

Speaker 1:
[14:39] There's one image. I think I've seen the one image.

Speaker 2:
[14:41] Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 1:
[14:41] Whatever.

Speaker 2:
[14:42] And it's got the clothes and area. It looks kind of like the latest ones, but it's also shades of the other stuff.

Speaker 1:
[14:49] That's the trailer. We've got the clothes and the areas.

Speaker 2:
[14:52] Of some of the zeldas, man. People like Ocarina of Time as well, don't they?

Speaker 1:
[14:56] They sure do.

Speaker 2:
[14:57] They sure do, man. So that's Sony. It's Cinema Con.

Speaker 1:
[15:00] You've done it again, Sony. Terrific.

Speaker 2:
[15:01] They're not a bad line up, actually. They're doing all right, considering...

Speaker 1:
[15:05] No spums, obviously.

Speaker 2:
[15:06] No, no spums.

Speaker 1:
[15:06] They've learned their lesson finally.

Speaker 2:
[15:08] Well, they're going to do more spums. We do know that, but they're re-evaluating all the decisions that they've made. For those people who don't know, that's the Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel movies. We need to fill people. That's your Morbiuses, your Cravenses, your Madame Webbs, your Vanhams even, which actually did well. Anyway, let's talk about Warner Bros, which also were recently bought by Paramount.

Speaker 1:
[15:29] Terrific.

Speaker 2:
[15:30] Terrible fucking news. But anyway, whatever, I guess. LOTR The Hunt for Gollum is a cast announcement. Andy Serkis is Gollum, or Smeagol, as you might know him.

Speaker 1:
[15:43] I don't know.

Speaker 2:
[15:43] Ian McCallan is Gandalf. Elijah Wood is Frogglet Baggins.

Speaker 1:
[15:49] Wow.

Speaker 2:
[15:50] Kate Winslet is Marigold. Wow.

Speaker 1:
[15:53] Wow.

Speaker 2:
[15:53] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[15:54] Has she at any point already been Marigold?

Speaker 2:
[15:56] I don't know about that, actually.

Speaker 1:
[15:59] No, it's fine.

Speaker 2:
[15:59] Don't worry about it.

Speaker 1:
[16:00] No, I don't worry about it.

Speaker 2:
[16:01] All right. I know it's a type of flower, or sort of, or Marigold.

Speaker 1:
[16:04] Yes.

Speaker 2:
[16:04] The type of flower. Is that what you're saying?

Speaker 1:
[16:06] Is that not her name?

Speaker 2:
[16:07] No, Marigold.

Speaker 1:
[16:08] I don't like it.

Speaker 2:
[16:09] What am I supposed to do with that information? Who am I supposed to tell?

Speaker 1:
[16:12] Marigold. Tell her, if you consider changing the name to Marigold, it will vastly improve your life.

Speaker 2:
[16:19] It also, Kate Winslet in this cast of the character called Marigold sometimes spelt Marigold according to Google AI. You're supposed to say incredible.

Speaker 1:
[16:29] I don't think it is incredible. I find it very credible.

Speaker 2:
[16:31] Here's something that's interesting. Lee Pace is Thandral.

Speaker 1:
[16:35] Than-thran-dral. Than-thran-dral.

Speaker 2:
[16:37] Because he wasn't in the Lord of the Rings movies.

Speaker 1:
[16:39] Oh, yes.

Speaker 2:
[16:40] But he was in the Hobbit movies.

Speaker 1:
[16:41] And he looks like he would be in the Lord of the Rings movies. If you told me he was in the Lord of the Rings movies, I'd be like, oh, yeah.

Speaker 2:
[16:47] Yeah. What would you think about that?

Speaker 1:
[16:49] He was probably Than-thran-dral.

Speaker 2:
[16:51] He probably was, but he wasn't. But he was. Yeah. So I don't know if that means that... What's his name? His son is in it.

Speaker 1:
[16:58] I don't know.

Speaker 2:
[16:58] His son is the son of Ligolus.

Speaker 1:
[17:02] Oh, you should have said Ligolus is the son of Than-thran-dral.

Speaker 2:
[17:06] I don't want to say that.

Speaker 1:
[17:07] Give it a try. Give it a try.

Speaker 2:
[17:09] Ligolus is the son of Than-thran-dral.

Speaker 1:
[17:11] How'd that feel?

Speaker 2:
[17:12] I don't like it. I tried it though, didn't I?

Speaker 1:
[17:14] That's important. I respect that.

Speaker 2:
[17:16] That's what I... When my kids try food they don't like and they're like, I hated that. I'm like, but I respect that you tried it. And then they're like, I hate it.

Speaker 1:
[17:22] Finish it!

Speaker 2:
[17:23] Yeah, finish it. Exactly.

Speaker 1:
[17:25] Nobody's leaving this table till you finish it.

Speaker 2:
[17:27] Now I mentioned last week or week before that Leo Woodall is actually going to play Aragorn. That's not true. He's playing a new character.

Speaker 1:
[17:35] So you were responsible for spreading lies.

Speaker 2:
[17:37] I didn't start it in the first place.

Speaker 1:
[17:38] Probably went on all the blogs.

Speaker 2:
[17:40] I didn't.

Speaker 1:
[17:41] Probably said Mr Sunday Movies and his cool pal spread this lie. And it's made Mr Sunday Movies seem less cool, but his cool pal seem more cool. More cool? Because he lies with such abandon, you know?

Speaker 2:
[17:53] I don't like this. I don't like this blog that you're reading.

Speaker 1:
[17:56] Or writing. Blogs plural. That I'm writing.

Speaker 2:
[18:00] So he's playing Halvard, which is a...

Speaker 1:
[18:03] Type of stick.

Speaker 2:
[18:03] A ranger who's friends with Aragorn. The Jamie Dornan.

Speaker 1:
[18:08] I hope that's his entire character description. He's friends with Aragorn.

Speaker 2:
[18:12] I'm friends with Aragorn. I wonder if he's going to die. Or they keep him alive and they can bring him back in other movies. Correct, yes. So Jamie Dornan is playing Aragorn.

Speaker 1:
[18:20] I like Jamie Dornan.

Speaker 2:
[18:20] Yeah. I don't hate that casting. They've got the same kind of angular head which you need for this. Or a similar angular head.

Speaker 1:
[18:27] They both have heads.

Speaker 2:
[18:28] You've got to have an angular head, Mason.

Speaker 1:
[18:29] Sure, okay.

Speaker 2:
[18:30] Because you know, he's got that kind of...

Speaker 1:
[18:33] Honestly, I'm not...

Speaker 2:
[18:34] His head looks like the Teen Titans building.

Speaker 1:
[18:35] James, you know I'm a yes and guy, but I've not seen it. I would have said Viggo Mortensen and Jamie Dornan have different shaped heads. Like noticeably different shaped heads.

Speaker 2:
[18:45] Yeah, they've got different shaped heads. Everybody's agreeing with you, but I'm just saying he's angular. And I don't mind that. This is Jamie Dornan standing next to Aragorn.

Speaker 1:
[18:53] I'm not seeing it. I like the casting, but I'm saying...

Speaker 2:
[18:56] I like the casting too.

Speaker 1:
[18:56] They have different shaped heads and we're all going to have to get on board with that.

Speaker 2:
[19:01] Do you think it's a Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis situation where their heads are different?

Speaker 1:
[19:04] No, I'm thinking it's more of an Iron Man 2 situation and he's going to show up and he's going to be like, it's me, I'm Aragorn. Something happened to my head. Deal with it. It's a different shape now.

Speaker 2:
[19:15] I hope he says, you might notice that my head is the same shape, very similar.

Speaker 1:
[19:20] It's a bold move.

Speaker 2:
[19:21] Yeah, it is.

Speaker 1:
[19:21] Oh, God. That's daring the audience to notice a difference.

Speaker 2:
[19:25] This is also going to give audiences an opportunity and fans to deepfake this into Viggo Mortensen.

Speaker 1:
[19:31] Absolutely, it is.

Speaker 2:
[19:32] And you see clips on YouTube and you go, I wish this was the whole movie.

Speaker 1:
[19:35] I think you'll find I've made this movie a bit better. It's just a simple deepfake.

Speaker 2:
[19:40] And they have. This is still out December 17th of next year.

Speaker 1:
[19:46] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[19:47] Still happening. Terrific. Also at the Warner...

Speaker 1:
[19:49] Very excited.

Speaker 2:
[19:51] You're not.

Speaker 1:
[19:51] Nah.

Speaker 2:
[19:54] Anything can be good.

Speaker 1:
[19:55] I agree with you.

Speaker 2:
[19:56] Even an in-between call.

Speaker 1:
[19:57] Yeah, even that.

Speaker 2:
[19:58] Yeah. Also, they had footage from the new Supergold movie from June 3. Clayface. Apparently, it was looking pretty good again. Didn't see any of this. A Minecraft movie, too, was announced.

Speaker 1:
[20:11] I am all mining.

Speaker 2:
[20:12] And they named the next Game of Thrones movie. It's called Game of Thrones colon Agon's Conquest.

Speaker 1:
[20:18] Oh, yes.

Speaker 2:
[20:20] There's also...

Speaker 1:
[20:21] Do we know Agon?

Speaker 2:
[20:22] Yeah, he was one of the kings or mad kings. I don't know. A blonde guy.

Speaker 1:
[20:25] All right.

Speaker 2:
[20:26] Blonde guy rides a dragon and whatever.

Speaker 1:
[20:28] If you would describe him physically, would you say he's more of a Jamie Dornan type or more of a Viggo Mortenson type?

Speaker 2:
[20:32] I would say I don't know what he looks like and I don't care. I don't care about any of the blonde people in Game of Thrones.

Speaker 1:
[20:37] All right.

Speaker 2:
[20:37] Fuck every one of them.

Speaker 1:
[20:38] Wow.

Speaker 2:
[20:39] Yeah. And I don't just mean because like all their characters and their diabolical. I just mean like I don't care. I don't care about your lineage, your fucking inbred whatever. I don't care. Sick of hearing about it. Hedge Knight though. Good show. Good show. Watch a guy cave another guy's head in.

Speaker 1:
[20:54] What are you even talking about?

Speaker 2:
[20:55] The Hedge Knight.

Speaker 1:
[20:57] Dunk and Egg.

Speaker 2:
[20:57] Dunk and Egg. Good.

Speaker 1:
[21:00] The Hedge Knight. I thought it had a different name.

Speaker 2:
[21:02] A Knight of Seven Kingdoms. He is a hedge knight.

Speaker 1:
[21:04] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[21:04] It's a type of knight.

Speaker 1:
[21:05] All right. All right, man.

Speaker 2:
[21:07] It's a type of knight, Mason.

Speaker 1:
[21:08] Don't get so defensive, all right?

Speaker 2:
[21:09] I'm not getting defensive.

Speaker 1:
[21:10] But your favorite show.

Speaker 2:
[21:11] I like it. You should watch it.

Speaker 1:
[21:13] Cause it's your favorite show.

Speaker 2:
[21:14] I don't care. Don't watch it then.

Speaker 1:
[21:16] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[21:16] Cause it's my favorite show. I don't want you to watch it. I don't want you to have experienced any joy.

Speaker 1:
[21:21] Well, maybe I will watch it now.

Speaker 2:
[21:23] Maybe I will. There's an untitled fast film, F A S T. That's F dot A dot S dot T dot.

Speaker 1:
[21:31] F A. I don't know what that is.

Speaker 2:
[21:33] I'm assuming it's a Fast and Furious movie.

Speaker 1:
[21:35] Right. Okay. But why have they put the dots?

Speaker 2:
[21:37] I don't know, man.

Speaker 1:
[21:38] Or has AI put the dots?

Speaker 2:
[21:40] I don't know.

Speaker 1:
[21:40] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[21:41] Maybe it's not them.

Speaker 1:
[21:42] Maybe this is a franchise we don't know anything about.

Speaker 2:
[21:43] Yeah, it might be. No, it's an upcoming action thriller written by Taylor Sheridan, director by Ben Richardson.

Speaker 1:
[21:49] He's the Yellowstone guy and the Landman guy, I think.

Speaker 2:
[21:52] It's starring Brandon Sklinar.

Speaker 1:
[21:54] Brandon Sklinar.

Speaker 2:
[21:55] He's Batman, definitely.

Speaker 1:
[21:56] Yeah, hell yeah, brother.

Speaker 2:
[21:57] Yeah, okay.

Speaker 1:
[21:58] I mean, not now. I mean, this is going to take off.

Speaker 2:
[22:00] It's an upcoming action thriller.

Speaker 1:
[22:01] Nice.

Speaker 2:
[22:02] I'm not interested in this at all, but it does have Brandon Sklinar. Yeah. Here we go. Hollywood Reporter summarized the premise.

Speaker 1:
[22:09] Here we go.

Speaker 2:
[22:10] FAST, F-A-S-T, concerns a former Special Forces commando.

Speaker 1:
[22:16] That's not F-A-S-T. No. But that would be funny if they put the acronym and it says former Special Services soldier or whatever.

Speaker 2:
[22:23] FAST. He's down on his luck after he returned stateside. He was tapped by the DEA to lead a black ops strike team against CIA-protected drug dealers in his town.

Speaker 1:
[22:32] Damn.

Speaker 2:
[22:33] Sklinar is playing the commander.

Speaker 1:
[22:35] They're amongst us. We should kill them. They're from another country.

Speaker 2:
[22:38] Yes.

Speaker 1:
[22:39] But they're bad. And they're probably doing crime. So we should kill them with Brandon Sklinar.

Speaker 2:
[22:44] Brandon Sklinar.

Speaker 1:
[22:44] I think that's good. This is a good message.

Speaker 2:
[22:46] I agree.

Speaker 1:
[22:47] It's a good message. But it doesn't have any politics, which is good as well. I think.

Speaker 2:
[22:50] Yeah, exactly. You know, Jason Clarke's in it.

Speaker 1:
[22:52] I like Jason Clarke.

Speaker 2:
[22:53] Me too. So is LaKeith Stanford.

Speaker 1:
[22:55] T-shirt idea. I like Jason Clarke. What do you think about that? It's pink. Pink. And then it's slightly darker pink text. OK. His face is not on it.

Speaker 2:
[23:04] I think it's good.

Speaker 1:
[23:05] Yeah, thanks, man.

Speaker 2:
[23:06] Can I have that?

Speaker 1:
[23:07] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[23:07] T-shirt idea. And all the prophets. No.

Speaker 1:
[23:11] You know what? Yes.

Speaker 2:
[23:12] Thanks. What about this? Last one they've announced. A Baz Luhrmann film.

Speaker 1:
[23:17] Baz Luhrmann.

Speaker 2:
[23:18] Maybe it's about the life of Baz Luhrmann.

Speaker 1:
[23:20] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[23:20] Yeah. And you know, what he did and what he's about.

Speaker 1:
[23:24] OK. Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[23:25] Whatever that is.

Speaker 1:
[23:25] Sure.

Speaker 2:
[23:26] Yeah. They also made a casting announcement.

Speaker 1:
[23:29] T-shirt idea. I'm slurmin over Baz Luhrmann.

Speaker 2:
[23:33] I don't want that one.

Speaker 1:
[23:34] You sure?

Speaker 2:
[23:34] I mean, if I have to take them as a package deal. Yes, I will take it.

Speaker 1:
[23:42] I mean, you know, I think I'm slurmin over Baz Luhrmann will be out far and away the bestseller, I think.

Speaker 2:
[23:49] I don't know, man. I don't know, man.

Speaker 1:
[23:51] I think Aussie Pride is going to jump on. I'm slurmin over Baz Luhrmann.

Speaker 2:
[23:57] Also, we got an announcement that Adria... How do you say her name? Yeah, who's Bic's in Andor, among other things. Yes. Fantastic.

Speaker 1:
[24:06] She's in Hitman.

Speaker 2:
[24:07] She is in Hitman. It's a great movie. She's in Man of Tomorrow, the next Superman movie.

Speaker 1:
[24:11] Who's she playing with? I don't know.

Speaker 2:
[24:12] Well, people are saying, initially Wonder Woman and then other outlets are reporting that she's Maxima. And then some people are saying that also that might be a code name that actually she is Wonder Woman. I would be happy if she was Maxima or Wonder Woman. She's great. All of that is fine.

Speaker 1:
[24:27] That is all good and fine.

Speaker 2:
[24:28] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[24:28] So should we get mad about it? Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[24:31] I mean, if we absolutely.

Speaker 1:
[24:32] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[24:32] Yeah. T-shirt idea.

Speaker 1:
[24:34] Gone.

Speaker 2:
[24:35] It's just blank.

Speaker 1:
[24:37] Oh, that sounds good. Actually, that's very, that would coordinate well with a lot of stuff.

Speaker 2:
[24:40] It's minimalist, Mason.

Speaker 1:
[24:42] Absolutely. Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[24:43] You got to think.

Speaker 1:
[24:45] I'm not going to. Not thinking has got me this far. I'm not going to start thinking.

Speaker 2:
[24:50] You're doing really well, actually. Filming begins on Man of Tomorrow starting the week of April 20.

Speaker 1:
[24:55] Okay. Week of tomorrow.

Speaker 2:
[24:56] That's coming up.

Speaker 1:
[24:57] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[24:57] It's this week.

Speaker 1:
[24:58] It is.

Speaker 2:
[24:58] So there you go.

Speaker 1:
[24:59] It's this week of tomorrow.

Speaker 2:
[25:00] Let's talk Disney.

Speaker 1:
[25:01] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[25:03] Well, they showed footage from Toy Story 5. Hexed, a new animated project. Some stuff from the Moana live action. I don't know if you saw this trailer, but it's for the Dog Stars. It's Ridley Scott's next film.

Speaker 1:
[25:14] What's the premise of Dog Stars?

Speaker 2:
[25:15] It's a post-apocalyptic something, something, something, something, something, something, something, something.

Speaker 1:
[25:20] And it's Glenn Isey involved.

Speaker 2:
[25:21] No, it's got what's his name, Tall Australian and Margo Qualley and Josh Brolin.

Speaker 1:
[25:26] Tall Australian being...

Speaker 2:
[25:28] Jacob Elordi.

Speaker 1:
[25:29] Jacob Elordi.

Speaker 2:
[25:29] Yeah, his name, Frank Estar. The movie is set in the aftermath of a catastrophic flu virus Oh. that nearly wiped out humanity.

Speaker 1:
[25:37] Uh-oh.

Speaker 2:
[25:38] The movie follows Hig Elordi, a civilian pilot and a tough ex-Marine Brolin who face invaders in the hope for a better life outside the current dwelling. It's based on a book, I believe, of the same name.

Speaker 1:
[25:48] And Keanu Reeves' band.

Speaker 2:
[25:50] Oh yeah. I think that was one, it was singular, wasn't it?

Speaker 1:
[25:53] It was one dog star, yes.

Speaker 2:
[25:54] It was one dog star. Which was him?

Speaker 1:
[25:56] Hey everybody. This is one dog star. I'm not the dog star. I'm not the titular dog star. It's him. He is. I don't know his name.

Speaker 2:
[26:02] Actually, I've changed my mind. It's all you guys in the audience. You're all the dog star.

Speaker 1:
[26:06] You're all the dogs. He said we're the dog star. It doesn't make any sense. It's more than one of us.

Speaker 2:
[26:10] Pick one of us or we'll kill you.

Speaker 1:
[26:15] Nice.

Speaker 2:
[26:15] Thanks.

Speaker 1:
[26:16] Nice. That was a nice piece of archived footage that we just watched together from the 90s.

Speaker 2:
[26:23] Did you see the movie that Jonah Hill did with him on Apple or whatever?

Speaker 1:
[26:27] I saw a poster for it.

Speaker 2:
[26:28] It's called like, what if this Hollywood guy was me?

Speaker 1:
[26:30] Yeah. It was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. What if Keanu was canceled or whatever?

Speaker 2:
[26:33] Yeah. Apparently, it's too inside baseball for people.

Speaker 1:
[26:36] For normal people, I get what you're saying.

Speaker 2:
[26:37] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[26:38] We might like it. We're too online.

Speaker 2:
[26:40] We're too online, but we're not Hollywood. So that's true. I don't know if we would like it. There's also a brand new trailer for The Mandalorian vs Groglet.

Speaker 1:
[26:48] Brand new trailer?

Speaker 2:
[26:50] Yes.

Speaker 1:
[26:51] Sklina? Sklina Wars? T-shirt idea, Sklina Wars.

Speaker 2:
[26:55] Is that package with the other ones?

Speaker 1:
[26:57] No, that one's a separate deal.

Speaker 2:
[26:58] Okay, I don't want that one. I want the other two.

Speaker 1:
[26:59] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[27:00] And not black one.

Speaker 1:
[27:01] All right. Well, I'm going to come up with the fourth idea and package it with Sklina Wars and you're going to want Sklina Wars all of a sudden. And guess what? Price is going to go up.

Speaker 2:
[27:09] Why? I'm paying for these?

Speaker 1:
[27:11] Yep.

Speaker 2:
[27:14] What do you think of the final trailer? It's about family.

Speaker 1:
[27:16] I didn't get up to it.

Speaker 2:
[27:17] Oh, it's fine. You get it. They talk about how like adults look after the young and then the young look after them when they get older or older.

Speaker 1:
[27:24] Wow. Like that meme with the Ninja Turtles.

Speaker 2:
[27:26] What meme?

Speaker 1:
[27:27] There's a meme when it's Splinter and he's got the Ninja Turtles when they're little babies. And then it's like, but then...

Speaker 2:
[27:33] Then they're killing him.

Speaker 1:
[27:35] They're beating it with all their Ninja weapons that he gave them. He's like, why?

Speaker 2:
[27:41] Why?

Speaker 1:
[27:41] Because you're a rat.

Speaker 2:
[27:43] We don't like that.

Speaker 1:
[27:44] Yeah. We're speciesists. We've always been speciesists.

Speaker 2:
[27:51] OK. Yeah, that sounds cool, man.

Speaker 1:
[27:52] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[27:53] Is it like Donatello putting him to bed or something?

Speaker 1:
[27:55] No, it's it's... Imagine Splinter and he's like, like from... Imagine from the back and he's like walking down a road and he's holding the hands of the little Ninja Turtles and they're really little. But then later, they're big and they're supporting him because it's the future.

Speaker 2:
[28:08] OK, Ninja Turtles. And one of them is a robot?

Speaker 1:
[28:09] No, that one's a robot.

Speaker 2:
[28:12] Oh, I've seen this.

Speaker 1:
[28:13] Yes.

Speaker 2:
[28:13] That's rad.

Speaker 1:
[28:14] Yeah. But anyway, that's this movie.

Speaker 2:
[28:16] Yes.

Speaker 1:
[28:17] But 90 minutes to two hours.

Speaker 2:
[28:19] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[28:19] Two hours plus. Two hours plus. Do we know what's the runtime?

Speaker 2:
[28:21] Oh, that's a good question. Let me just Google The Mandalorian vs Groglet runtime. It's going to be two hours and 12 minutes. Long enough for you?

Speaker 1:
[28:30] Too long.

Speaker 2:
[28:31] It feels like it could be maybe seven episodes of that show and then 22 minutes each.

Speaker 1:
[28:36] Oh, yes. Terrific.

Speaker 2:
[28:38] Do you think it's going to be the end of Groglet's adventures and The Mandalorian's adventures? Or do you think if this does well and... Oh, you know what? Seeing this trailer, I'm like, yeah, this looks all right. It's done fab, bro.

Speaker 1:
[28:48] How bad could it be?

Speaker 2:
[28:50] He hasn't really made an atrocious movie.

Speaker 1:
[28:52] What about...

Speaker 2:
[28:52] Made mostly good movies.

Speaker 1:
[28:54] The Mandalorian vs Groglet.

Speaker 2:
[28:55] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[28:56] What if that's the one?

Speaker 2:
[28:57] Oh, it could be. Yeah. I mean, everybody has the worst...

Speaker 1:
[28:59] Should we wait till everybody else has watched it and then...

Speaker 2:
[29:01] And then make a decision.

Speaker 1:
[29:02] And then make a decision whether or not to watch it.

Speaker 2:
[29:04] And then we'll have to... I want you to watch it under the Wokersphere. Whatever we said. What was that thing?

Speaker 1:
[29:09] The Wokerscope. I'll put it under the Wokerscope.

Speaker 2:
[29:12] All right. So we know if we should like it or not.

Speaker 1:
[29:15] Chill.

Speaker 2:
[29:15] Yeah. They also showed some footage. And maybe this is out by the time this comes out. I hope not, because people will yell at us. It's for Avengers Doomsday.

Speaker 1:
[29:24] Oh, yes.

Speaker 2:
[29:25] I'm going to read you the description. This is from Avengers Updated. Here we go. We hear the word something's coming. Something may not be able to deter over the ruins of the X Mansion.

Speaker 1:
[29:36] Oh, boy.

Speaker 2:
[29:37] We see Doctor Doom kneeling and his face looks scarred.

Speaker 1:
[29:39] X Mansion, Doctor Doom.

Speaker 2:
[29:40] Yes.

Speaker 1:
[29:41] Crossover.

Speaker 2:
[29:41] And his face looks scarred. His face looks scarred.

Speaker 1:
[29:44] Scarred like Doctor Doom.

Speaker 2:
[29:45] It is Doctor Doom.

Speaker 1:
[29:46] It's Doctor Doom. He's got a scarred face. It's like in the comics.

Speaker 2:
[29:49] Scarface. Thor remarks that he's fought many enemies and threats that scare him less than this. Saying all these heroes and friends died.

Speaker 1:
[30:01] People have scared me less than this, Doctor Doom. Good work. Good job.

Speaker 2:
[30:05] Even the next sacrifice will mean nothing if they don't stand together. We get footage of Thor approaching Doom with Stormbreaker, the Fantastic Four meet the MCU heroes. Xiongqi fights Gambutt. Whoa. Mystique turns into the...

Speaker 1:
[30:15] Wait, is it Channing Tatum, Gam?

Speaker 2:
[30:18] I believe it is, yeah. Mystique turns into Yelena Belova. Whoa. And then it's a Yelena Belova or Belov.

Speaker 1:
[30:23] Oh yeah.

Speaker 2:
[30:24] Yeah. Thor leaps at Doom with Stormbreaker in hand and Doom stops it at once.

Speaker 1:
[30:29] That means he's more powerful.

Speaker 2:
[30:31] That's right.

Speaker 1:
[30:31] He's more powerful than we ever expected.

Speaker 2:
[30:33] And Steve Rogers approaches Thor and says, Hey pal. And Thor says, it's not possible. And Steve reaches for Mjolnir and it leaves Thor's hands coming to him.

Speaker 1:
[30:41] Ah!

Speaker 2:
[30:41] And then it says, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. They did some internal, they did some test screenings for this movie.

Speaker 1:
[30:48] Oh, yes?

Speaker 2:
[30:49] It's off, apparently it's testing off the charts.

Speaker 1:
[30:50] Send it to us.

Speaker 2:
[30:51] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[30:52] Send it to us.

Speaker 2:
[30:53] Let us put it under the Wokroscope.

Speaker 1:
[30:54] Yeah, we'll put it on patreon.com.

Speaker 2:
[30:56] Slash Wokroscope.

Speaker 1:
[30:57] $11 a month. Avengers Doomsday ahead of time.

Speaker 2:
[31:00] Let's make it free.

Speaker 1:
[31:00] Hey, no score. That'll bring him in.

Speaker 2:
[31:03] That'll bring him in.

Speaker 1:
[31:04] We get him with a free copy of Avengers Doomsday. Then we keep him with movie commentaries.

Speaker 2:
[31:09] Yeah, that's what people will really want. Yeah. Yeah, I love this early free movie, but nah. I'm going to listen to these guys talk about whatever. This is still out December 18th. It's still going up against June 3.

Speaker 1:
[31:21] Terrific. No one's budging.

Speaker 2:
[31:23] That's interesting. That's very interesting. I wanted to talk about also some other stuff happening at Disney. You might have heard about the Disney layoffs, Mason.

Speaker 1:
[31:33] I have heard about the Disney layoffs.

Speaker 2:
[31:35] Bad stuff.

Speaker 1:
[31:36] Bad stuff.

Speaker 2:
[31:36] So you might have heard.

Speaker 1:
[31:37] But they've already got all the stuff they need, don't they?

Speaker 2:
[31:40] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[31:40] Why would they need humans to do anything? Because humans already done all the stuff, like created all the stuff and drawn all the stuff. Yes. Drawn all the stuff, written all the stuff.

Speaker 2:
[31:51] Apparently, it's not related to AI.

Speaker 1:
[31:54] Interesting.

Speaker 2:
[31:54] That's what they're saying.

Speaker 1:
[31:55] Strange coincidence there, isn't it?

Speaker 2:
[31:56] This is by Forbes. So they've got a new CEO. It's Josh D'Amaro. He wants to help streamline operations. Terrific. I want that too. I want that for him.

Speaker 1:
[32:06] Absolutely. You want a slippery, streamlined operation like a dolphin. The Disney dolphin.

Speaker 2:
[32:11] The dead Disney dolphin.

Speaker 1:
[32:13] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[32:14] So they began their first round of layoffs on Tuesday. The cuts will affect about 1,000 employees. This is initial as well. This could expand. Across all the arms of the Disney media holdings, including studios, TV networks, sports and experiences. So yeah, it's a number of divisions. A thousand doesn't really seem like enough. Like enough. Wow.

Speaker 1:
[32:34] Wow.

Speaker 2:
[32:35] Doesn't seem like a lot, I guess, for something like Disney. But this is pretty, I mean, it is obviously, but also certain sectors are taking substantial hits. So Disney's home entertainment team, which is responsible for physical media like Blu-ray has been completely gone. Dave Lee down under, which you should follow on Instagram, he talks more about it because he's a big physical media guy.

Speaker 1:
[32:56] Because there's a difference, I think, between who puts the stuff together and where it's actually pressed and something like that.

Speaker 2:
[33:02] And Sony are currently doing it.

Speaker 1:
[33:03] Something like that, yeah.

Speaker 2:
[33:04] Or they're doing the distribution or it depends on which. Again, Dave Lee knows all about this.

Speaker 1:
[33:08] Correct, yes.

Speaker 2:
[33:09] I would look into that.

Speaker 1:
[33:10] But I would say before you follow Dave, follow Dave Lee, but before you do that, panic. If you're a physical media collector, just panic.

Speaker 2:
[33:16] And if you're panicking, message Dave Lee. He'll calm you down.

Speaker 1:
[33:18] That's exactly right.

Speaker 2:
[33:19] He won't, because he doesn't like this either. He won't have any reassuring words for you.

Speaker 1:
[33:22] He'd be like, yes, panic.

Speaker 2:
[33:23] Yeah, you're right to do so. Ah! But yeah, he's across all that stuff. It also...

Speaker 1:
[33:29] But it's not good news.

Speaker 2:
[33:30] No, it's terrible fucking news. It's also, you know, because a lot of people do, like, still collect this stuff. And maybe they're gonna, I don't know, outsource it. They might. I don't know. I think the aim here is just to have people have less ownership of their films and have to pay monthly subscriptions via Disney Plus and rent them via other streaming apps. That's the plan. Disney have never liked people to have stuff.

Speaker 1:
[33:55] No, because they famously used to have the Disney Vault. Whether you would... They would briefly release The Lion King or whatever on VHS for a year, and they would just take it away and you couldn't buy it again for several years.

Speaker 2:
[34:08] It was incredible.

Speaker 1:
[34:09] Yeah, we loved it.

Speaker 2:
[34:12] But another thing that's been axed is an entire award-winning visual department team at Marvel Studios. So that's artists...

Speaker 1:
[34:18] Well, they don't need that anymore.

Speaker 2:
[34:20] Not anymore. Not when you've made all the movies you'd ever want to make.

Speaker 1:
[34:23] Not when you get Thor swinging his Stormbreaker, and dude catches the Stormbreaker. Exactly. You don't need visuals for that.

Speaker 2:
[34:30] Don't even need it. Yeah. This includes artists, illustrators, character designers, environmental designers and other...

Speaker 1:
[34:36] They've already designed all the characters. Don't worry about it.

Speaker 2:
[34:37] And what, you want to invent a new character? I don't think so.

Speaker 1:
[34:41] You want Marvel to invent a new character that Disney can exploit in a movie? Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. We'll just bring them all back.

Speaker 2:
[34:47] You don't want that.

Speaker 1:
[34:48] We've got so many.

Speaker 2:
[34:48] There's too many.

Speaker 1:
[34:49] Yeah. X-Men. We've got the X-Men now.

Speaker 2:
[34:51] They should have fired some characters, don't you think? Yes. Just some minor characters that we're never going to see again. Like Moon Knight or whatever.

Speaker 1:
[34:58] Absolutely.

Speaker 2:
[34:59] He's gone. Get rid of him. Yeah. Another technical specialist responsible for the look of Marvel's film and television productions, from The Avengers to Guardians of the Galaxy to Daredevil. Many have been with Marvel for a decade or more. I think Forbes also did a breakdown of all the different payment structures for people. Not everybody gets the same severance package if you were interested in that.

Speaker 1:
[35:22] Some people are just getting a kick in the ass.

Speaker 2:
[35:24] Yeah, pretty much. Disney are only keeping a small team to oversee the hiring of artists on a project by project basis who will be outside contractors going forward. That's not uncommon. That's also the Illumination Model for their... They outsource all their animation.

Speaker 1:
[35:39] Then you don't have to give them health insurance. Exactly.

Speaker 2:
[35:40] You don't have to give them health insurance and you can just hire them and fire them as you see fit. It's the gig economy. That's what they've moved towards. Apparently, this is not due to AI.

Speaker 1:
[35:50] Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2:
[35:51] They were going to put a billion dollars into AI. Apparently, this is due to the reduced Marvel Slate. So, okay.

Speaker 1:
[36:00] All right, if you say so.

Speaker 2:
[36:01] Yeah. I mean, it just seems if you were reducing the Marvel Slate, because things started to look like shit, that you would keep a lot of that and then put more effort into the reduced slate to make it look a bit better.

Speaker 1:
[36:13] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[36:13] But I'm not a CEO.

Speaker 1:
[36:14] What do I know? Exactly. That's right.

Speaker 2:
[36:15] That's not slick like Disney's Dolphin.

Speaker 1:
[36:17] Absolutely.

Speaker 2:
[36:18] Disney's Dead Dolphin.

Speaker 1:
[36:19] Absolutely not.

Speaker 2:
[36:20] So, yeah, there you go. But in other good Disney news, Han Solo was at Galaxy's Edge. You can go and visit him.

Speaker 1:
[36:25] Yeah. And Princess Leia or whatever. You can go up to them and go, hello. And it looks like them. Somewhat like them.

Speaker 2:
[36:31] Isn't that funny?

Speaker 1:
[36:31] They've got all the vests you need.

Speaker 2:
[36:33] Yeah. They've gone back to original trilogy at Galaxy's Edge. I mean, of course, it's to do with the Mandalorian and Groglet, which is set in that era.

Speaker 1:
[36:39] Correct, yes. But I mean, if you put it under the Wokroscope.

Speaker 2:
[36:42] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[36:43] It's Kathleen Kennedy. She's under the Wokroscope. She was there the whole time.

Speaker 2:
[36:46] Yeah, that's right. God, this is, I've said this before, just dark days, man. So I don't know. I mean, I don't know what the other side of this is going to look like. Will it be like they've gone to the front and comes back?

Speaker 1:
[36:59] People are always like, oh, people didn't like Rey and Kylo Ren or whatever. Yeah, because that last movie was awful. It spoiled it. It spoiled everything.

Speaker 2:
[37:07] Yeah, it really did. Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[37:08] You know, if that last movie was really good.

Speaker 2:
[37:11] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[37:12] Rey-ly good.

Speaker 2:
[37:13] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[37:13] Kylo Ren-ly good.

Speaker 2:
[37:15] We've talked about this before, but people really forgot, and how much people hated the prequel trilogy.

Speaker 1:
[37:21] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[37:22] Like, there is this, and there will be a resurgence on the sequel trilogy.

Speaker 1:
[37:25] Absolutely.

Speaker 2:
[37:25] It will happen.

Speaker 1:
[37:26] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[37:26] But I guess the difference between the prequel trilogy as well, the prequel trilogy, people perceive it to have ended strongly. Whereas the Disney trilogy just fell apart completely at the end. So, you know, make it out what you want.

Speaker 1:
[37:39] Endings are important.

Speaker 2:
[37:40] Endings are important.

Speaker 1:
[37:41] We're currently in the final season of The Boys.

Speaker 2:
[37:43] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[37:44] And I've seen people say, OK, this, whether people remember this as a strong series will depend on how well or poorly this final season goes. Because again, you know, some of it is kind of formulaic, but the characters are fun and it's better. And it's like, OK, if this, you know, this is a kind of a damp ending.

Speaker 2:
[38:02] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[38:02] People were like, this show sucked.

Speaker 2:
[38:04] Game of Thrones, et cetera.

Speaker 1:
[38:05] Exactly.

Speaker 2:
[38:06] Yeah, there you go. Let's do some good news. It's trailers.

Speaker 1:
[38:10] Oh, I love trailers.

Speaker 2:
[38:10] It's trailers. Ahoy.

Speaker 1:
[38:12] Tingle-ling-ling.

Speaker 2:
[38:12] Tingle-ling-ling. Oh, school bike-ed. Oh, sorry, I just got an email about school bike-ed. You know what the worst thing about schools are?

Speaker 1:
[38:21] Is that the local bully? School bike-ed?

Speaker 2:
[38:23] Yeah, school bike-ed.

Speaker 1:
[38:25] Speaking of Tingle-ling-ling.

Speaker 2:
[38:28] There's like a school app, right?

Speaker 1:
[38:29] Are you sure? OK. Doesn't work?

Speaker 2:
[38:31] No, it's fine. You get an email.

Speaker 1:
[38:35] I love emails.

Speaker 2:
[38:36] And then you open the email and it goes, hi, there's an announcement about this. It doesn't tell you what it is. And then you have to click on it. And then it takes you to a browser. And then you're like, no, I want the actual app. So you close it and then you open the app. And then it tells you what it is. And also, and then-

Speaker 1:
[38:49] That's like our government. That's how they send you emails. Yes, exactly. They go, there's a really important thing that you've got to look at. And then you have to log in to the government website. It's like, what's your password? Don't forget your password.

Speaker 2:
[39:02] Do you remember your password?

Speaker 1:
[39:02] Don't forget it. Anyway, goodbye.

Speaker 2:
[39:05] That is your password, but you haven't used it in a while. So we have to call you or something.

Speaker 1:
[39:09] Anyway, goodbye.

Speaker 2:
[39:10] I had somebody come and replace my gas meter from the government, typical.

Speaker 1:
[39:13] Oh, must be nice.

Speaker 2:
[39:14] Yeah, it was. And it fucking...

Speaker 1:
[39:16] Oh, somebody noticed that crisp new gas meter out there.

Speaker 2:
[39:18] It was leaking. Like, I went out there and I'm like...

Speaker 1:
[39:21] Oh, the new one was leaking.

Speaker 2:
[39:22] I'm pretty sure that I could smell it. And I went and walked up to turn it off. And I just got this face full of gas.

Speaker 1:
[39:27] Because you did motion like you were walking up to it with a Zippo light.

Speaker 2:
[39:29] I was using it.

Speaker 1:
[39:30] I couldn't see. Yeah. It was night time.

Speaker 2:
[39:33] And as I was turning it off, I got like just a face full of gas and I felt real unsteady.

Speaker 1:
[39:39] You felt real law-suited.

Speaker 2:
[39:41] Yeah. But anyway, I called up and then someone came out and fixed it. And they were like, Oh, yeah, no, it was leaking. I'm like, yeah, no shit.

Speaker 1:
[39:51] Hey, see what the problem here is, is it was leaking. Yeah, thanks, man. You should get a guy to fix it. Yeah, you're the guy.

Speaker 2:
[39:58] That's you.

Speaker 1:
[39:59] Yeah, you're the guy.

Speaker 2:
[39:59] No, I'm not the guy. No, I'm just the guy to tell you if it was leaking or not. Anyway, the second guy did do a good job.

Speaker 1:
[40:05] Terrific.

Speaker 2:
[40:05] But anyway, so you open the app.

Speaker 1:
[40:08] Yes.

Speaker 2:
[40:09] And then it's not updated. So whatever that message was about Bike Education in Australia, I go in there and it's not the latest update.

Speaker 1:
[40:17] Yeah, his name is Bike Education.

Speaker 2:
[40:23] So fucking day with this shit, man. I just, God, just ruins your day.

Speaker 1:
[40:27] Not my day.

Speaker 2:
[40:28] No.

Speaker 1:
[40:28] I'm having a great day.

Speaker 2:
[40:31] Anyway, Trailers Ahoy, this is ruining my day again.

Speaker 1:
[40:35] Nah, you love it.

Speaker 2:
[40:36] I hate that stupid bike and whatever the joke is we do.

Speaker 1:
[40:39] Yes.

Speaker 2:
[40:40] Trailers Ahoy for Godzilla Minus Zero.

Speaker 1:
[40:43] Yes, very short trailer.

Speaker 2:
[40:44] What would they call the next one? What's lower than zero? Oh, it's just one? Because if it's Godzilla Minus One and then it's Godzilla Minus Zero, then you'd go up to one.

Speaker 1:
[40:56] You would go up to one.

Speaker 2:
[40:57] Is that how it works?

Speaker 1:
[40:58] It's Godzilla One.

Speaker 2:
[41:00] So this time, Godzilla is going to New York.

Speaker 1:
[41:04] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[41:05] He's having a hot New York minute. Apparently, there are large portions in this movie, which are in English. It's going to deal with the US and Japanese relations.

Speaker 1:
[41:13] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[41:14] I think it's set two years after the last movie.

Speaker 1:
[41:16] Forty-nine, yeah.

Speaker 2:
[41:17] Who's the director of this again? It's me.

Speaker 1:
[41:19] They let me have a go.

Speaker 2:
[41:20] Did they?

Speaker 1:
[41:21] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[41:21] Why would they do that?

Speaker 1:
[41:22] I said, take it to New York, baseball caps. It's going to be a big, there's going to be a billboard and it's got a big baseball cap on it.

Speaker 2:
[41:29] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[41:29] And Godzilla's like, and he puts the baseball cap on.

Speaker 2:
[41:33] It's actually not you. It's Takashi Yamazaki. That was incredible.

Speaker 1:
[41:39] Okay, but sound that out slowly.

Speaker 2:
[41:40] No. Nick Mason.

Speaker 1:
[41:43] Correct. See, there we go.

Speaker 2:
[41:45] Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Apparently there's incredible sequences in it. He's talked about that.

Speaker 1:
[41:54] I have talked about that. There's a big bill. Let me let me let me little preview. This is a bit of a spoiler, but I'm ready. And I think there's enough in the movie that you're going to. It's going to be fine. There's going to be a sign and it says, eat big New York hot dogs.

Speaker 2:
[42:07] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[42:07] And there's a big hot dog. What does he do? He takes a bite of the hot dog and he's like, Purr, purr, purr, because it's not real. It's not a real hot dog. It's made of wood or whatever.

Speaker 2:
[42:14] But he knows what a hot dog is.

Speaker 1:
[42:15] He does. He thinks they would be delicious. But this one isn't because it's not real. So you better destroy New York.

Speaker 2:
[42:21] You excited about this movie you made?

Speaker 1:
[42:23] Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 2:
[42:24] You think these are good ideas?

Speaker 1:
[42:25] Do you see the bit towards the end of the trailer where he sees Statue of Liberty?

Speaker 2:
[42:29] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[42:30] Yeah. Well, what they don't show you, and again, this is a little bit of a spoiler, but I think the movie is good enough that you're going to be fine with it, is he looks at the Statue of Liberty.

Speaker 2:
[42:37] And he goes hubba hubba.

Speaker 1:
[42:38] He does, because in his mind, it sort of turns around to him and makes a kissy face at him.

Speaker 2:
[42:43] OK.

Speaker 1:
[42:43] And it goes, yoo-hoo, Godzilla.

Speaker 2:
[42:46] And you think this is good?

Speaker 1:
[42:48] It is good. What are you saying?

Speaker 2:
[42:51] I said, I'm just asking if you think it's good.

Speaker 1:
[42:53] Yeah. I crouched the hell out of these, my crew. I'm glad you did. And then he goes to get, then it's, you know, he's like, ah, you know.

Speaker 2:
[43:04] Yeah, cool, man.

Speaker 1:
[43:05] And then there's the wedding.

Speaker 2:
[43:07] I don't know about that. I mean, yeah, do you think this is good?

Speaker 1:
[43:09] Central Park, there's a Central Park wedding, because he's, he lifts, he tears off the Statue of Liberty. Who's officiating the wedding? Mayor Giuliani.

Speaker 2:
[43:16] Oh, Mason.

Speaker 1:
[43:19] Rudy Giuliani, yeah. A young Rudy Giuliani? Agee is now. We're going to pretend he's going to have a baseball cap on.

Speaker 2:
[43:27] With a propeller on it? Yep. Yeah, yeah. I don't know, man. I don't know. Again, I haven't seen it, so I don't have the full context.

Speaker 1:
[43:34] You're pranking me, Lucinda. Now, that's all the good stuff, isn't it?

Speaker 2:
[43:39] So if you haven't seen the last one, you should. It's incredible.

Speaker 1:
[43:44] It is great.

Speaker 2:
[43:45] Also, apparently, I can't remember where I was reading this.

Speaker 1:
[43:48] I've seen an IMAX like I did.

Speaker 2:
[43:49] Yeah, yeah. It might have been just on Reddit, but apparently, the Japanese in general, they love the American Godzilla movies that they're making. They're like, because they could be whatever. Yeah. You got your serious ones about sadness and crying and war and marrying the Statue of Liberty.

Speaker 1:
[44:02] Exactly.

Speaker 2:
[44:04] Rudy Giuliani is there.

Speaker 1:
[44:07] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[44:07] You got different versions. Apparently, it's going to have about the same runtime as the last one, so about an hour 59, which is the last one. So this is, I mean, it looks great.

Speaker 1:
[44:16] I now pronounce you man and strife, he says.

Speaker 2:
[44:19] Who's man? Which one's man?

Speaker 1:
[44:20] Godzilla.

Speaker 2:
[44:21] Okay.

Speaker 1:
[44:22] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[44:22] Strife is in wife.

Speaker 1:
[44:23] Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[44:24] This is good.

Speaker 1:
[44:25] Should I change that? I can change that in post.

Speaker 2:
[44:27] Honestly, I wouldn't change anything you've said.

Speaker 1:
[44:28] Thanks, man.

Speaker 2:
[44:29] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[44:29] It's great.

Speaker 2:
[44:30] Because I would like you to feel the full reaction of your ideas.

Speaker 1:
[44:34] Hell yeah.

Speaker 2:
[44:35] I think it would be good for you.

Speaker 1:
[44:36] I think they're going to give me the key to the city.

Speaker 2:
[44:39] Which city?

Speaker 1:
[44:40] Whatever. It doesn't matter. I'll take one. Maybe some opposing cities.

Speaker 2:
[44:44] Oh no. November 6th. This is out. All right. That's cool and soonish. Then we got a new full trailer for Street Fighter. It gives us a few more of the story beats. Looks like it's a Ken and Ryu heavy story.

Speaker 1:
[44:59] It is. Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[45:00] And Ken's like, I don't know about this lifestyle that I've been doing. And Ryu's like, come back and do big fireballs and kicks with me. Looking at this, I'm like, is this a magic universe? Yes, it is.

Speaker 1:
[45:10] It is a magic universe. But it seems to be that...

Speaker 2:
[45:13] It's unusual to see magic.

Speaker 1:
[45:15] It's unusual to see a big fireball, it seems. But then they're all going to get into it. They're all going to freaking get into it.

Speaker 2:
[45:20] Magic stretching. We see Blanka.

Speaker 1:
[45:22] We see Blanka for the first time.

Speaker 2:
[45:23] Yeah. Played by Jason Momoa.

Speaker 1:
[45:25] We see Akuma.

Speaker 2:
[45:26] It's not Akuma. It actually was.

Speaker 1:
[45:29] We don't see much M. Bison in this.

Speaker 2:
[45:31] From the back maybe.

Speaker 1:
[45:33] No, we see one shot of him.

Speaker 2:
[45:34] Okay. I know there's a statue of him as well.

Speaker 1:
[45:37] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[45:38] I mean.

Speaker 1:
[45:39] Well, I think they are definitely in this marketing. I think David S. Malthin is a good choice, but I think this exists in the shadow of the previous Street Fighter Movie and they're like, okay, well.

Speaker 2:
[45:51] Yeah. You know, it's go all out.

Speaker 1:
[45:54] Yeah. But like Raoul Julia is like, oh, yeah, you know, you'd be like, you know, he's he's the M. Bison that we all have to we all strive to be very good. Yeah. So like, I think if they're probably going to keep the I think it's it's very M. Bison exposure to a minimum, I think, or like be very choosy about what they show. So people are they say he's not as good. He's like, bring back Raoul Julia. Why won't you?

Speaker 2:
[46:16] You know, why won't they? Like they brought back Val Kilmer for a new movie. I don't know if you saw. Oh my God.

Speaker 1:
[46:22] Oh, but anyway, this looks crazy.

Speaker 2:
[46:24] There's a thighs reference.

Speaker 1:
[46:26] Oh, yes.

Speaker 2:
[46:26] Chumlee has the enormous thighs. Cammie's like, I was played by Kyle Minogue last time.

Speaker 1:
[46:32] That's right.

Speaker 2:
[46:32] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[46:33] Now I'm different.

Speaker 2:
[46:34] And you're not Ming Na Wen like last time.

Speaker 1:
[46:36] Correct.

Speaker 2:
[46:36] Flat top guile.

Speaker 1:
[46:37] Yes.

Speaker 2:
[46:38] Creating up a car.

Speaker 1:
[46:39] Yep. All the stuff we want and need.

Speaker 2:
[46:41] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[46:42] To live.

Speaker 2:
[46:44] It looks over the top and crazy and all of those different things.

Speaker 1:
[46:48] Yeah. It looks less like AI this time.

Speaker 2:
[46:50] Yes, it does. I also think that it's like the new Mortal Kombat movie, which is out relatively soon. It really is. I don't think this is going to win anybody over who doesn't like this stuff because it's so video game.

Speaker 1:
[47:07] It's unapologetic to what it is, which is a good thing. Maybe that's what's going to put people over the line. They'll be like, I just like how crazy it was.

Speaker 2:
[47:15] Yeah, I hope so.

Speaker 1:
[47:16] Yeah, me too.

Speaker 2:
[47:17] And I hope it's good. Both of those things. Big kicks running around. This is our October 16th of this year.

Speaker 1:
[47:26] That's soon.

Speaker 2:
[47:27] Bada bing. Am I correct?

Speaker 1:
[47:28] You are absolutely correct.

Speaker 2:
[47:29] Which of your favorite Street Fighter game?

Speaker 1:
[47:31] Street Fighter 2.

Speaker 2:
[47:32] Oh yeah? Mine's that three day one.

Speaker 1:
[47:34] Oh yeah, Street Fighter EX.

Speaker 2:
[47:36] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[47:36] Wow.

Speaker 2:
[47:37] That's the best one probably. Don't you think?

Speaker 1:
[47:38] No.

Speaker 2:
[47:39] Why don't you think that?

Speaker 1:
[47:40] I don't know man. It's bad. I remember it being bad.

Speaker 2:
[47:43] I think you misremember it. Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[47:45] Oh no, actually I like Street Fighter Alpha games.

Speaker 2:
[47:47] Oh yeah?

Speaker 1:
[47:48] Yeah. Because they're the more over the top ones.

Speaker 2:
[47:49] Are they before 3? Are they the prequel ones?

Speaker 1:
[47:53] Yeah, they're the prequel ones.

Speaker 2:
[47:54] Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:
[47:56] Because they're more the Marvel vs Capcom. If we're not including the Marvel vs Capcom games.

Speaker 2:
[48:00] I actually have that collection on the PS4 or PS5 or whatever. So I've played a bunch of those recently with my son.

Speaker 1:
[48:06] Oh, yes.

Speaker 2:
[48:07] I'm not very good at them. But I could be.

Speaker 1:
[48:09] You could be him easily, so.

Speaker 2:
[48:10] Sometimes. Sometimes I can, sometimes I can't. All right, we're going to talk about big movie. Biggish movie. Big spooky movie. Hope your skin doesn't come off big movie.

Speaker 1:
[48:22] It will. Wow.

Speaker 2:
[48:24] What?

Speaker 1:
[48:24] Wow.

Speaker 2:
[48:25] What?

Speaker 1:
[48:25] Wow. I mean, you know, times are tough all around, but somebody's cracking open a second Coke.

Speaker 2:
[48:30] This one's more expensive.

Speaker 1:
[48:31] Well, it's a limited edition James Bond Coke. What do you think you're James Bond? Cracking open a Coke like the start of Dr. No.

Speaker 2:
[48:41] This is a special limited edition for the game that's coming out, which is not a promotion. But let me tell you, everyone should buy it.

Speaker 1:
[48:50] The game or the Coke?

Speaker 2:
[48:51] I don't care. Mason.

Speaker 1:
[48:56] A tasty Coca-Cola, please.

Speaker 2:
[48:58] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[48:59] That's what he would say.

Speaker 2:
[49:00] He wouldn't say that.

Speaker 1:
[49:01] He would if AI tells him to.

Speaker 2:
[49:02] Give me a shaken can of Coca-Cola, please.

Speaker 1:
[49:05] Look out for James Bond 007 First Light coming to PlayStation 5, is what he'd say.

Speaker 2:
[49:11] That's what he would say.

Speaker 1:
[49:12] If AI made him do it and they're going to make him do it. It will. That's right. And then he's drinking a Coke, drinking two Cokes at the same time because he's got to drink the regular and the sugar free at the same time.

Speaker 2:
[49:22] This is good, you'd say. Yeah. I hope someone's getting it.

Speaker 1:
[49:27] If I drank this when I was alive, I'd still be alive. You know?

Speaker 2:
[49:31] I'd be 150 years old.

Speaker 1:
[49:34] Drink Coke Zero and you'll never die. Is what you could make AI have him say.

Speaker 2:
[49:41] And he's got a good point.

Speaker 1:
[49:42] He's got a great point, doesn't he?

Speaker 2:
[49:45] This AI version of Sean Connery.

Speaker 1:
[49:46] Sean Connery, yeah.

Speaker 2:
[49:48] So we're going to talk about Lee Cronin's The Mummy.

Speaker 1:
[49:50] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[49:50] Budgets, there's not an official kind of thing, but people are saying 80 million.

Speaker 1:
[49:55] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[49:55] I'm thinking that's possible. There's some real set pieces, environments in this that I think could maybe make that the case.

Speaker 1:
[50:03] Yes.

Speaker 2:
[50:03] Yeah. So it's going to have about a 15 to 20 million US opening.

Speaker 1:
[50:09] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[50:09] Which is not bad, depending on... Word of mouth is long. And reviews are mixed.

Speaker 1:
[50:14] Interesting.

Speaker 2:
[50:14] It's long. You think it's a long movie?

Speaker 1:
[50:16] 133 minutes.

Speaker 2:
[50:17] I was surprised it wasn't an hour and a half.

Speaker 1:
[50:19] Yeah, so...

Speaker 2:
[50:19] But I didn't feel the length of this. I thought it was...

Speaker 1:
[50:21] Correct, yes...

Speaker 2:
[50:22] .paced really well.

Speaker 1:
[50:23] And you might be like, who's Lee Cronin?

Speaker 2:
[50:25] Yeah, you might be like that, yeah.

Speaker 1:
[50:27] And as we have mentioned, and every time we mention it, I immediately forget, he also directed Evil Dead Rise. And then I forgot that, and then I went into this movie and I went, wow, a lot of Evil Dead Rise vibes coming from this movie.

Speaker 2:
[50:38] Interesting that this is a lot like Evil Dead Rise. I think maybe why the reason that this isn't resonating with people as much is because...

Speaker 1:
[50:45] Evil Dead is resonating, it's not nencing.

Speaker 2:
[50:48] Evil Dead is so sinister and awful. And The Mummy of late is not that. They have found adventure movies and this is people peeling their skin off.

Speaker 1:
[50:56] Well, this is why they've had, presumably they've had to call Lee Cronin's The Mummy, because otherwise everyone would be like, oh, Brendan Fraser again.

Speaker 2:
[51:02] I love Brendan Fraser again.

Speaker 1:
[51:02] Brendan Fraser's back.

Speaker 2:
[51:04] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[51:04] Brendan Fraser's back.

Speaker 2:
[51:05] No, there's a girl, she's crawling in the wall.

Speaker 1:
[51:07] He's got a rental family in the walls.

Speaker 2:
[51:08] Everyone's spewing on each other.

Speaker 1:
[51:10] Everyone is spewing.

Speaker 2:
[51:11] Stealing each other's teeth.

Speaker 1:
[51:13] Maybe the mummy everyone's spewing. They could have called it that in Australia.

Speaker 2:
[51:17] People would have loved it. You would have been like, oh, spewing because they missed out on something? Because that's what you might say.

Speaker 1:
[51:22] I'm spewing. I missed it.

Speaker 2:
[51:24] I'm spewing.

Speaker 1:
[51:24] But no.

Speaker 2:
[51:25] No, it's just spewing.

Speaker 1:
[51:26] Because of a curse.

Speaker 2:
[51:27] You're spewing. Oh, well, this is actually good. What do you think the story was?

Speaker 1:
[51:31] Come on, man.

Speaker 2:
[51:32] Yeah. And is this just the exorcist with the mummy?

Speaker 1:
[51:34] Little bit.

Speaker 2:
[51:36] Not just.

Speaker 1:
[51:36] Because it was also going to be called The Resurrected at one point.

Speaker 2:
[51:39] It was. They were going to change it or something.

Speaker 1:
[51:40] Should they have called it that? I think maybe.

Speaker 2:
[51:42] Because I think it's better to I think this will do better because it's not called that.

Speaker 1:
[51:46] Right.

Speaker 2:
[51:46] And because that also is upsetting people.

Speaker 1:
[51:48] And also because you'd be like, OK, well, you know, it's you have to call the mummy because some of it is set in Egypt.

Speaker 2:
[51:55] Yes.

Speaker 1:
[51:55] You could just set it somewhere else.

Speaker 2:
[51:56] True.

Speaker 1:
[51:57] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[51:57] I think I also like that the mummy can be a bad Tom Cruise movie or an adventure movie or like a 1940s kind of 50s, you know, spooky thing. I like that it can be different. I don't think I think after this, it's not going to be that. It's just going to be Brendan Fraser movies again.

Speaker 1:
[52:14] Absolutely.

Speaker 2:
[52:14] But I think it's I think it's interesting that you can take this idea and do different things. Anyway, what do you think the story was?

Speaker 1:
[52:19] All right. So so that racing car driver from Transformers 4.

Speaker 2:
[52:22] Yes. Yes.

Speaker 1:
[52:24] Four.

Speaker 2:
[52:24] Jack Raynor.

Speaker 1:
[52:25] Yeah. Well, he's got a family now.

Speaker 2:
[52:26] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[52:27] And his wife's of age, which is good.

Speaker 2:
[52:28] That's great.

Speaker 1:
[52:29] And they've got a couple of kids and another kid on the way.

Speaker 2:
[52:32] Yep.

Speaker 1:
[52:32] And they live in Egypt because he's a correspondent. He's a reporter, correspondent type.

Speaker 2:
[52:38] I'm looking at stories all the time.

Speaker 1:
[52:40] And then but then then then one of his daughter goes missing.

Speaker 2:
[52:45] Yeah. Why, though?

Speaker 1:
[52:46] They're going to turn her into the mummy or whatever, man. I don't know.

Speaker 2:
[52:49] Or try to maybe.

Speaker 1:
[52:50] Yeah. Yeah. But then but then years later, eight years later, yeah, they've got they've got a backup kid. So it's fine.

Speaker 2:
[52:56] Thank God.

Speaker 1:
[52:56] So they've still got two kids.

Speaker 2:
[52:57] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[52:58] And they're back in America. God bless America.

Speaker 2:
[53:00] Yeah. And they've gone to the most Egyptian place you could in America.

Speaker 1:
[53:04] New Mexico.

Speaker 2:
[53:05] Yes, where they shot Breaking Bad.

Speaker 1:
[53:06] Oh, that's right.

Speaker 2:
[53:07] And which I think is, yeah, that is the Egypt of America. I agree.

Speaker 1:
[53:11] That's exactly right.

Speaker 2:
[53:12] Coyotes in sand, which I think is in Egypt also.

Speaker 1:
[53:14] That's right.

Speaker 2:
[53:15] Anyway, go on.

Speaker 1:
[53:16] And then the Egyptian authorities call and they're like, we got your daughter back.

Speaker 2:
[53:20] Good news.

Speaker 1:
[53:21] Yeah. Good. Good.

Speaker 2:
[53:23] Good.

Speaker 1:
[53:23] Good news. We're going to give you some news.

Speaker 2:
[53:25] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[53:26] I think it's good. Yeah. Your daughter's back. She's gone wrong, though.

Speaker 2:
[53:30] Yeah. We think you should just take her home. Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[53:33] Just take her home. Just directly in the home. You got some space in the walls? We got any wall space?

Speaker 2:
[53:37] We think she'll get better.

Speaker 1:
[53:39] You got some wall crawl space?

Speaker 2:
[53:40] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[53:41] Because she would like that.

Speaker 2:
[53:42] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[53:43] I think she would thrive in a wall crawl house environment, I think. Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[53:46] You know, she's biting and spitting and vomiting and scurrying.

Speaker 1:
[53:50] Spewing.

Speaker 2:
[53:51] Spewing.

Speaker 1:
[53:51] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[53:52] But um, and she's dry and peeling and bad nails and hair and babbling nonsense.

Speaker 1:
[53:59] Spewing.

Speaker 2:
[54:00] Spewing. Like a shadow of what she was eight years ago.

Speaker 1:
[54:04] But just put her in, put her in your house.

Speaker 2:
[54:05] It's fine, actually.

Speaker 1:
[54:06] It's fine. Don't worry about it.

Speaker 2:
[54:07] She'll get better.

Speaker 1:
[54:08] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[54:08] She'll definitely get better.

Speaker 1:
[54:10] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[54:10] And they're like, what happened to her? And they're like, don't know.

Speaker 1:
[54:12] Don't know. She was in a box.

Speaker 2:
[54:13] She fell out of a plane maybe.

Speaker 1:
[54:14] She fell out of a plane in a box. So just with that in mind and the stuff we've told you, just put her in your house. It's fine. Don't worry about it.

Speaker 2:
[54:22] This is good for you and us actually because quite frankly, we can't look at this.

Speaker 1:
[54:26] Yeah, this is hectic. She's gone. She's come back wrong.

Speaker 2:
[54:29] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[54:29] I mean, honestly, we don't know what she looked like beforehand.

Speaker 2:
[54:32] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[54:32] But she's back and she's wrong.

Speaker 2:
[54:33] I'd imagine it wasn't this.

Speaker 1:
[54:34] Yeah, it wasn't this. Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[54:36] No one would steal this.

Speaker 1:
[54:37] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[54:40] I like this.

Speaker 1:
[54:40] I like it too, yeah.

Speaker 2:
[54:41] It's pretty upsetting.

Speaker 1:
[54:42] It is. It's not as mean as Evil Dead Rise, but it is pretty mean.

Speaker 2:
[54:46] It's mean for...

Speaker 1:
[54:48] And the premise is very similar.

Speaker 2:
[54:50] Yeah, it is. It's mean for a mummy movie, I guess, and what you expect. Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[54:54] If you're expecting fun time Egyptian adventure, you're not going to get that. Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[54:59] It's like... And like how the last Evil Dead was Evil Dead at your house. This is the mummy, but at your house. So it's similar in that sense.

Speaker 1:
[55:06] And you'll be spewing.

Speaker 2:
[55:06] Yeah. What if the mummy did come to your house? What would happen? Well, it would be annoying and gross. Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[55:11] That's right.

Speaker 2:
[55:13] It's a crazy decision to bring her home. But I had mentioned the cast, Jack Raynor, Leila Costa. So they're the married couple. Mae Calloway. What's her name? Sorry, Mae?

Speaker 1:
[55:24] Like Callum Ah-ree.

Speaker 2:
[55:25] Like Callum Ah-ree. She was in...

Speaker 1:
[55:27] She's Silver Scarab in Moon Knight.

Speaker 2:
[55:28] Yeah. She's great.

Speaker 1:
[55:29] A show that's gone forever and a character that's gone forever. Correct.

Speaker 2:
[55:32] They should bring her back.

Speaker 1:
[55:33] She was good.

Speaker 2:
[55:34] Natalie Grace plays the mummy or the daughter, whatever you want to call it. Yeah. It's...

Speaker 1:
[55:40] I call a spewing Katie.

Speaker 2:
[55:42] Do you think this could be an Evil Dead?

Speaker 1:
[55:44] Oh, in the universe. I felt like it could.

Speaker 2:
[55:46] There were moments where it's like, that feels very...

Speaker 1:
[55:49] If you were like, I hated the premise...

Speaker 2:
[55:51] What are they called in Evil Dead? Deadites.

Speaker 1:
[55:52] If you were like, I hate the premise... If you were like, I hated the premise and execution of the movie Evil Dead Rise, don't see this. No.

Speaker 2:
[55:59] It's that.

Speaker 1:
[56:00] It is. In the cold light of day, it's the same and I'm spewing about it. But I thought it was pretty solid. I think it's got some good... It's not as big on jump scares as a lot of horror movies. It's kind of like a slow burn for a lot of this stuff.

Speaker 2:
[56:17] And just someone going, and then you get spewed on.

Speaker 1:
[56:20] And you get spewed on, exactly.

Speaker 2:
[56:21] Oh, God. Not again.

Speaker 1:
[56:23] Yeah. Yeah, I like the cast.

Speaker 2:
[56:25] There's some like... Yeah, cast is good. There's some really...

Speaker 1:
[56:29] If you like, I'll never watch anybody who's been in a Transformers movie again.

Speaker 2:
[56:33] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[56:33] Well, too bad. Shia LaBeouf's coming back with Transformers 6 or something. He said he was.

Speaker 2:
[56:37] Is he?

Speaker 1:
[56:38] No, he was at Cinema Con, I think, and he said, I'm working on it.

Speaker 2:
[56:41] Was he really?

Speaker 1:
[56:41] I think somebody... Unless I've been lied to by social media, which I probably have been.

Speaker 2:
[56:45] Let me just quickly give that a go.

Speaker 1:
[56:46] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[56:47] But he's rumored he's going to return... Oh, God, I hate this. So this is why complex pops, so maybe it's wrong. What about rolling out again? A new Transformers film is officially in development at Paramount Pictures with Shia LaBeouf teasing a possible return earlier this year at Steel City. Ah, so maybe not.

Speaker 1:
[57:00] Yeah. It sounds like he's just like somebody asked him if he's coming back to Transformers. I'm working on it, as in I'm working on bringing back all my professional relationships.

Speaker 2:
[57:10] He cannot come back to this.

Speaker 1:
[57:11] No, there's no way.

Speaker 2:
[57:12] They shouldn't.

Speaker 1:
[57:13] They wouldn't, right? No, because even recently he's been up to crook stuff in the media. Yeah, he did shoot like last week. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Leia Costa gives me Sally Hawkins vibes.

Speaker 2:
[57:23] Definitely.

Speaker 1:
[57:24] I'm like, is that Sally Hawkins?

Speaker 2:
[57:25] No, Mason.

Speaker 1:
[57:26] Is this the Bring It Back universe? This is the Bring It Back universe.

Speaker 2:
[57:29] Could be the Bring It Back universe. I like this universe of like demons kind of taking over people.

Speaker 1:
[57:34] I like this. So, there's a sort of parallel. We could bring them together.

Speaker 2:
[57:37] Like the Avengers.

Speaker 1:
[57:38] Of people spewing on people. There we go. So, this... Who else is doing some big spews?

Speaker 2:
[57:46] No, that's it. Bridesmaids.

Speaker 1:
[57:48] Bridesmaids, yeah.

Speaker 2:
[57:49] Does that happen in Bridesmaids?

Speaker 1:
[57:50] Yeah, maybe. This movie has a good structure, I think, because there's sort of two parallel storylines happening. Because initially, the girl's disappearance happens in Egypt, so the family move back to the US and then May Kalamawi, who was the... She was the secondary officer involved in the investigation eight years ago, but now in the present day, she's the senior officer in charge of missing persons in Cairo. So now she is atoning for... I'm taking this off. She was just mucking around back then.

Speaker 2:
[58:21] Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1:
[58:21] That's why she didn't find him.

Speaker 2:
[58:22] Just having a laugh.

Speaker 1:
[58:24] So she's sort of actively investigating. The girl has come back, but she's like, okay, but what's the backstory to this? Yeah, because the daughter Katie is found because a plane crashes and in the plane was a sarcophagus and then they unearth this. They open the sarcophagus and she's sort of mummified in it.

Speaker 2:
[58:43] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[58:44] And they're like, is this normal? Yeah, no.

Speaker 2:
[58:45] We're Egyptian. Is this normal? You should know that it's not normal anymore to do this.

Speaker 1:
[58:49] That's correct. Yes. We're modern Egyptians, so settle down, all right?

Speaker 2:
[58:53] Yeah, we might walk like Egyptians, but that's where it stops, actually.

Speaker 1:
[58:56] That's right.

Speaker 2:
[58:57] Yeah. I really, I don't know how much of this is true, but I like the Egyptian law behind it. Classic go to a guy at a university and get him to translate.

Speaker 1:
[59:06] So yeah, and also Jack Reiner is all, he's investigating as well because his daughter is wrapped up in these, his mummifications, which the hospital hasn't taken off.

Speaker 2:
[59:15] And in a way, he's wrapped up in his own.

Speaker 1:
[59:17] Yeah, he's wrapped up in his own bloody world, isn't he?

Speaker 2:
[59:19] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[59:20] Get over it. And he's doing investigation as well, and then it's sort of converges towards the end, which I think is pretty good.

Speaker 2:
[59:26] Yeah, absolutely. Again, I love, I think I enjoyed, yeah, these two parallel stories were equally good. It was also somewhat of a relief, also cutting over at times to the Egyptian side. It just kind of, because it's very claustrophobic when you're in the house and you're like, I hate being here with this horrible The Mummy. And then you're like, the out of doors. Thank goodness. Egypt, very good.

Speaker 1:
[59:47] I'm going to get a little coffee.

Speaker 2:
[59:49] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[59:49] I'm going to get a little coffee at the bazaar.

Speaker 2:
[59:51] There's some pretty...

Speaker 1:
[59:52] As a little respite from the bazaar.

Speaker 2:
[59:54] Oh, yeah, absolutely. The Mummy.

Speaker 1:
[59:57] And the spewing.

Speaker 2:
[59:58] And the spewing, yeah.

Speaker 1:
[59:59] Is there any spewing around here? No, just coffee.

Speaker 2:
[60:01] Just coffee, thanks.

Speaker 1:
[60:02] Just little coffees and little cups. Then one of several, thank you.

Speaker 2:
[60:06] But it's, there's some pretty horrendous gore in this peeling of skin and drilling into parts.

Speaker 1:
[60:13] And somebody getting hooked.

Speaker 2:
[60:15] Somebody getting hooked and wild animals and whatever. It's like, jeez Louise, it's pretty upsetting. It's not, I don't know if it's any worse than what was in The Evil Dead.

Speaker 1:
[60:27] No, I think it's less. Maybe I'm just used to it. Maybe I was just expecting it from Lee Cronin's The Mummy.

Speaker 2:
[60:33] A peeling skin thing is just awful though.

Speaker 1:
[60:36] Yeah, there's a particular scene like, that might be in one of the trailers though.

Speaker 2:
[60:43] Yeah, you might be right. Yeah, Natalie Grace who plays the daughter who's the mummy sort of or whatever. She's great. I think she's really good at upsetting and the makeup work is really good.

Speaker 1:
[60:54] Yeah, well, I was going to say because it feels like the, you know, as many horror movies now have to be themed and have important themes or whatever. This is about like, what would happen to your family if your child got abducted kind of thing. And what are the ramifications on that? Just have another daughter, sort it out.

Speaker 2:
[61:12] But then what if the other one comes back? Oh no.

Speaker 1:
[61:15] Yeah, and you got three kids. You got three kids, too many kids.

Speaker 2:
[61:17] And one's the mummy.

Speaker 1:
[61:18] Yeah, one is the mummy.

Speaker 2:
[61:19] God, you thought you were the mummy? Yeah. You're the mother. This is a mummy.

Speaker 1:
[61:24] You thought two of your kids were spewing a lot. Well, he's the mother of all spewing.

Speaker 2:
[61:30] I'm going to say best movie ever.

Speaker 1:
[61:33] Me too.

Speaker 2:
[61:33] It's also, it's not like, it's not fun.

Speaker 1:
[61:37] No, no.

Speaker 2:
[61:39] It's compelling, I think, for the most part. It's probably not as good to me as the Evil Dead movie. And if you like The Exorcist, and I guess the latest Evil Dead movie, then I think you'll quite like this.

Speaker 1:
[61:50] But you were saying reviews are mixed on it.

Speaker 2:
[61:52] Very mixed, yeah. By very mixed, I mean like 50%.

Speaker 1:
[61:55] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[61:56] Some people are like...

Speaker 1:
[61:57] Too long? Too much spewing?

Speaker 2:
[61:58] I think that's it.

Speaker 1:
[61:59] Okay. Too short?

Speaker 2:
[62:00] Yeah, too short. I was really, again, really surprised at the runtime of this. So this has got a 53% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Speaker 1:
[62:07] Okay. Maybe it's kind of what the mood you're in kind of thing.

Speaker 2:
[62:10] Totally.

Speaker 1:
[62:11] I think there were a couple of walkouts.

Speaker 2:
[62:13] Oh, in your one?

Speaker 1:
[62:14] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[62:15] There might have been. Actually, I was one of the people close to the front, so I wasn't. And then, yeah, but it wasn't a huge packed cinema bit. I don't know. Oh, Russ Simmons says, two out of five. Let's hope it's a wrap for this version of The Mummy.

Speaker 1:
[62:29] Damn. I think you thought of that before you went into the cinema.

Speaker 2:
[62:32] Yeah, maybe. Yeah, again, best movie ever, bearing in mind all of the things.

Speaker 1:
[62:37] And if it were good, he would have just said, I'm going to do a wrap about how good this movie was. Will Smith style.

Speaker 2:
[62:42] Will Smith. Yeah, but anyway, I think they're going to go in another direction, obviously, for the franchise. And unless this makes like...

Speaker 1:
[62:53] This is a one-off, surely, right?

Speaker 2:
[62:54] Well, maybe. I mean, there are hints towards a future for this potentially, but that doesn't necessarily...

Speaker 1:
[62:59] Did Blumhouse do the Invisible Man movie?

Speaker 2:
[63:02] Oh, good question.

Speaker 1:
[63:03] And the Wolfman movie?

Speaker 2:
[63:04] Maybe, yeah.

Speaker 1:
[63:04] Which I did not care for, really.

Speaker 2:
[63:06] You might be right.

Speaker 1:
[63:07] It was about trauma, though.

Speaker 2:
[63:08] It was about trauma and generational trauma.

Speaker 1:
[63:10] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[63:10] And what if your dad was a wolfman?

Speaker 1:
[63:12] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[63:12] What if he was?

Speaker 1:
[63:13] I'd be fine with it.

Speaker 2:
[63:14] Yeah. I mean, at this point, you're a grown man, aren't you?

Speaker 1:
[63:17] Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2:
[63:17] You just wouldn't probably go around anymore.

Speaker 1:
[63:19] No, I probably just wouldn't go to Geelong as much as I do.

Speaker 2:
[63:22] That's good.

Speaker 1:
[63:23] Hey, mom, what's happening? Our dad's being the wolfman.

Speaker 2:
[63:25] Is he a wolfman? Is he?

Speaker 1:
[63:26] Yeah, okay, right. Okay, so I should probably...

Speaker 2:
[63:27] You should probably leave dad. I know you love him and whatever, but come on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's a wolfman.

Speaker 1:
[63:33] Wolfman.

Speaker 2:
[63:34] Yeah, should we do some spoilers?

Speaker 1:
[63:35] Wolfman. Yes, let's do spoilers.

Speaker 2:
[63:39] Spoilers, there's a...

Speaker 1:
[63:41] Well, she's the mummy, obviously.

Speaker 2:
[63:42] She's the mummy.

Speaker 1:
[63:43] So, the lore...

Speaker 2:
[63:45] It's an ancient demon.

Speaker 1:
[63:46] A classic ancient demon. A classic deadite situation.

Speaker 2:
[63:49] Called Netanyahu or something.

Speaker 1:
[63:50] Oh yeah. Or something, I don't know. Oh yeah, okay, right. But so, what we learn is, because there's an opening sequence where we see this family, and they're having a little sing-along in the car.

Speaker 2:
[64:01] And you're like, oh, this looks fun.

Speaker 1:
[64:02] But it turns out that they, the mum and dad specifically, they are the keepers of this demon.

Speaker 2:
[64:08] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[64:08] And so, what, how, and they are responsible for keeping it contained. And so, what they have to do is they have to find a live body.

Speaker 2:
[64:16] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[64:17] And they have to...

Speaker 2:
[64:17] Presumably young. Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[64:18] Yeah. And they have to transfer. There was this demon that was wreaking havoc across Egypt and across all the...

Speaker 2:
[64:25] Nobody liked him.

Speaker 1:
[64:26] Nobody liked this guy. He's an asshole.

Speaker 2:
[64:28] He's an asshole.

Speaker 1:
[64:29] He's mean. I didn't like how mean he was.

Speaker 2:
[64:32] No, he was mean. Again, very evil dead, dead-eyed.

Speaker 1:
[64:34] Making little girls say bad words.

Speaker 2:
[64:36] Rude.

Speaker 1:
[64:37] Some of the worst words, not in Australia, though.

Speaker 2:
[64:38] Rude crook.

Speaker 1:
[64:39] I can see how in America people are like, but in this we're like, nah, good on you. Good on you, little girl.

Speaker 2:
[64:44] Having an eight-year-old kid say that to a teacher is pretty unusual here in Australia.

Speaker 1:
[64:48] That's the woman from Evil Let Rise, the teacher.

Speaker 2:
[64:50] Oh, really? Which one?

Speaker 1:
[64:53] The main lady. But they made her blind.

Speaker 2:
[64:55] I did not notice that.

Speaker 1:
[64:55] And the teacher. Yeah. And so this stopped because the demon, eventually, a couple of thousand years ago, they stopped the demon by this ritual where they trap it in a body. But of course, a human body can only last so long.

Speaker 2:
[65:07] The Nazarene.

Speaker 1:
[65:08] There we go.

Speaker 2:
[65:08] Nazarene?

Speaker 1:
[65:09] Yes.

Speaker 2:
[65:10] Let's see if this is a real thing.

Speaker 1:
[65:11] It's not a real thing, James. It's made up. Do you mean a real mythical thing?

Speaker 2:
[65:14] A real mythical thing.

Speaker 1:
[65:16] Yeah, I don't think it is still.

Speaker 2:
[65:17] They're like, do you mean Jesus of Nazareth? I did not mean that.

Speaker 1:
[65:23] Makes you think.

Speaker 2:
[65:24] Not really.

Speaker 1:
[65:25] But anyway, the idea is that every few decades, the body wears out, so they have to find a new body. So what has happened is this woman in Egypt.

Speaker 2:
[65:35] The dead bird that happens, because that's what makes them think that they need a new body.

Speaker 1:
[65:39] That's the Canary in the coal miners.

Speaker 2:
[65:40] Yeah, that's what I figured. That's like the...

Speaker 1:
[65:42] But anyway, so what happened is this woman kidnapped the main character's daughter as for use for that. And the idea was to keep her contained. But they had to move the body because the valley where they kept the sarcophagus was flooded. It was going to flood, so they had to move it.

Speaker 2:
[65:59] Put it in a plane. Smart.

Speaker 1:
[66:00] Yeah, good. Put it on a train. What are you doing?

Speaker 2:
[66:02] Put it on a plane.

Speaker 1:
[66:03] Have a nice day on the train.

Speaker 2:
[66:04] Yeah, a nice day with the mummy on the train.

Speaker 1:
[66:06] What are you doing on this train? I'm just moving a sarcophagus with a body in it. It's for cursed reasons. But anyway, the family was never supposed to get this child back because in releasing the mummy from the sarcophagus, that's going to cause all the evil to leak out. And she's going to do all sorts of evil stuff. She's going to possess the other kids. She's going to say rude words.

Speaker 2:
[66:28] The difference between...

Speaker 1:
[66:29] She's going to do telekinesis sometimes and other times not.

Speaker 2:
[66:32] The difference between this and the other one and the evil dead is that if you get infected by a dead eye in that, it's over. Whereas this, the whole thing is easily reversible. And you become somewhat normal, maybe, at the end. Maybe, potentially, as a result of that.

Speaker 1:
[66:47] Do you think some of that is studio notes? Because... Spoiler alert at the end of this one. So...

Speaker 2:
[66:53] The grandma gets more by coyotes after getting flung out a window.

Speaker 1:
[66:56] That's true.

Speaker 2:
[66:56] I've never seen that before.

Speaker 1:
[66:58] Yeah, that's true. And then she's like, and I'm back.

Speaker 2:
[67:01] Yeah. That was the dead eye kind of bit.

Speaker 1:
[67:04] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[67:05] The teeth. The little girl puts the teeth in. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:
[67:09] Yeah, that's true. But so at the end of this movie, so May Calamami finds a video. She finds the daughter of the woman who did the ritual in the first place. There's a video which contains bring her back style. It contains all the ritual on video, which contains all the words to do the transference ritual. Yeah, so they trans, so her and the dad team up on the kid and beat her up a bit.

Speaker 2:
[67:37] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[67:37] And then they perform the ritual and it spews the demon into the dad. And then the dad's got, he's the mummy. He's the mummy. But then they're like, ah-ha, what we'll do is we'll take.

Speaker 2:
[67:48] This is an OK outcome.

Speaker 1:
[67:49] It's an OK outcome. It's fine. And that's a big sacrifice. He wanted a big sacrifice for the dad. But then at the end, in something that could have been a post credit sequence, they do a pre-credits.

Speaker 2:
[67:59] I'm glad they didn't.

Speaker 1:
[68:00] Yeah, is that they ship him back to Egypt where the woman who got them into all this bloody shenanigans in the first place, she's been locked up and they're like, we're going to do the mummy on you.

Speaker 2:
[68:11] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[68:11] And so the implication being that they're going to give her the mummy.

Speaker 2:
[68:16] And then Jack Rainer can go back to work or whatever.

Speaker 1:
[68:18] Yeah, back to normal. Pretty much back to normal.

Speaker 2:
[68:20] Yeah. I like that. I think it was, again, I think the way it wraps up makes it less sinister.

Speaker 1:
[68:25] Wraps up.

Speaker 2:
[68:26] Yes. Evil Dead wraps up. The Evil Dead becomes awful and everyone dies or whatever. Whereas this, it's like nobody's unharmed. And there was a woman who gets eaten by coyotes.

Speaker 1:
[68:36] Correct. She's not coming back.

Speaker 2:
[68:38] She's not coming back. Well, she does. But then she doesn't.

Speaker 1:
[68:40] She doesn't. That's true.

Speaker 2:
[68:41] So yeah, it's definitely more of a, slightly more uplifting ending than that. But no, I think it was-

Speaker 1:
[68:48] But again, is that studio notes? Is them saying, we can't have an Evil Dead rise again?

Speaker 2:
[68:53] Maybe you didn't want to do the same thing.

Speaker 1:
[68:54] Maybe you didn't.

Speaker 2:
[68:55] Twice.

Speaker 1:
[68:56] Maybe you did. Let me do the same thing. I'm Lee Cronin. I'm Lee Cronin.

Speaker 2:
[69:00] Do you reckon he's going to make a third movie of the same thing?

Speaker 1:
[69:02] Maybe.

Speaker 2:
[69:02] I hope. The result of this and the mixed reaction doesn't mean that- I think he's an interesting voice in horror. And I'd like to see what else, you know, what he would do next.

Speaker 1:
[69:12] How do you like this though, James? Born 24th of January, 1982. How do you like that?

Speaker 2:
[69:16] I don't like how he's slightly older than me, but slightly younger than you. I hate that, actually.

Speaker 1:
[69:21] And he's successful. How do you like that?

Speaker 2:
[69:23] Well, mixed reaction.

Speaker 1:
[69:24] Yeah, that's true, isn't it? We've never had mixed reactions. Everyone says we're bad.

Speaker 2:
[69:30] Everyone loves us, I reckon. He had a movie in 2019 called The Hole in the Ground. Is this good?

Speaker 1:
[69:36] I don't know, man.

Speaker 2:
[69:37] Apparently, yeah, it is good.

Speaker 1:
[69:38] All right, then.

Speaker 2:
[69:39] Or Parental Fears. Oh, get over it. Get over it, man. Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[69:45] Wait, did he? He was one of... He wrote and directed one of the episodes of 50 States of Fright.

Speaker 2:
[69:51] Which episode?

Speaker 1:
[69:53] The show on your phone. Remember the show on your phone? Quibi on your phone.

Speaker 2:
[69:58] He did 13 Steps to Hell, brackets Washington.

Speaker 1:
[70:01] That's right. Quibi.

Speaker 2:
[70:02] Parts 1 and 2.

Speaker 1:
[70:03] Quibi. Great.

Speaker 2:
[70:07] All right, should we move to the next segment of the show?

Speaker 1:
[70:08] Move to the next segment of the show.

Speaker 2:
[70:09] It's The Mummy.

Speaker 1:
[70:11] No, it's not. We did that.

Speaker 2:
[70:12] No, it's a different thing. I got something else I want to talk about that's much nicer.

Speaker 1:
[70:14] It's what we're reading. What are we gonna read?

Speaker 2:
[70:16] I'm ready.

Speaker 1:
[70:17] I'm ready also.

Speaker 2:
[70:18] Are you ready?

Speaker 1:
[70:18] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[70:19] There should be a theme song, though.

Speaker 1:
[70:20] Nice.

Speaker 2:
[70:20] So you're actually ready.

Speaker 1:
[70:22] I am ready. I'm ready.

Speaker 2:
[70:24] I'm doing the same. You got anything?

Speaker 1:
[70:36] Generally.

Speaker 2:
[70:36] Just more t-shirt ideas.

Speaker 1:
[70:38] I haven't had a t-shirt idea in a while, have I?

Speaker 2:
[70:40] It feels like forever and eternity.

Speaker 1:
[70:44] Sklina Wars?

Speaker 2:
[70:47] What does that mean?

Speaker 1:
[70:48] What's the one from earlier? I thought I'd pitch it to you.

Speaker 2:
[70:51] Oh, is this the same one?

Speaker 1:
[70:51] It's the same one, yeah.

Speaker 2:
[70:53] So what are you packaging that with? The previous one?

Speaker 1:
[70:56] Sklina Wars, The Brandon Awakens. The Last Brandon? Brandon? Whatever his name is?

Speaker 2:
[71:01] Whatever his name is. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's good actually.

Speaker 1:
[71:05] Pretty good, right?

Speaker 2:
[71:05] Yeah, pretty good. This is a great segment of the show. We talk about things we've been watching or reading or listening or doing. You got anything in the works? You got anything you've been working on?

Speaker 1:
[71:20] I know. There's nothing I've been working on.

Speaker 2:
[71:23] What about yourself?

Speaker 1:
[71:24] Trying to be working on anything.

Speaker 2:
[71:25] No, you're right. I canceled therapy to do this. I'm also not working on myself.

Speaker 1:
[71:28] Nice.

Speaker 2:
[71:29] Decided I'm just not going to do that anymore.

Speaker 1:
[71:30] Couple of bros not working on themselves. I discovered a new YouTube channel.

Speaker 2:
[71:35] Oh, it must be nice.

Speaker 1:
[71:36] Called Big Ol Words.

Speaker 2:
[71:38] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[71:38] It's basically just-

Speaker 2:
[71:39] Big Ol Words.

Speaker 1:
[71:40] Big Ol Words.

Speaker 2:
[71:41] Big Ol Words.

Speaker 1:
[71:41] And it's been going for a lot of years and it's great because then there's a trillion, million, trillion videos. And it's about just cool NES games and old like-

Speaker 2:
[71:50] Big Ol Worlds or-

Speaker 1:
[71:51] Words.

Speaker 2:
[71:52] Big Ol Words. I'm loving this cool 90s dude.

Speaker 1:
[71:55] Right?

Speaker 2:
[71:55] In the sun now.

Speaker 1:
[71:56] And it's about predominantly NES games. And for someone who doesn't really play any video games, I'm always fascinated by-

Speaker 2:
[72:03] Oh, I love looking at video games that I've never played.

Speaker 1:
[72:06] And it'll do stuff like- He'll do stuff like all the Zelda clones that came out around about that time. And like the development of all the games. I think it's because like modern games, it's like the development of a modern game-

Speaker 2:
[72:17] There's a Gilligan's Island game?

Speaker 1:
[72:19] Evidently there is.

Speaker 2:
[72:20] It's breaking news.

Speaker 1:
[72:22] There's a-

Speaker 2:
[72:23] Just NES?

Speaker 1:
[72:24] Predominantly, I think. So maybe some Super Nintendo stuff as well. But I'm sort of fascinated by- Because the development model of video games, it's basically just like, yeah, we needed to make another Call of Duty game, so we put $200 million into it. Yeah. That's not fun. But I think old video games, it's just like when you read about the development of those, it's a real kind of like, we just threw a bunch of stuff at the wall and whatever we could afford to make, and we had to make a bunch of changes because the licensing deal fell through or whatever it is.

Speaker 2:
[72:53] God, I'm just adding all these games, all these, I'm just going through his videos and just like put that in a playlist, save that for later. Yeah. NES games are actually Game Boy titles in disguise. Loving that. Comparing three years of NES.

Speaker 1:
[73:06] The best NES games in the Super Nintendo era. So like the games that they were still making for NES, when after the Super Nintendo came out.

Speaker 2:
[73:12] I do find that era really interesting. Yeah. That's interesting.

Speaker 1:
[73:17] Yeah. Oh, and our friend over at Comic Tropes, Chris, he made a video recently about not the marriage.

Speaker 2:
[73:23] About us?

Speaker 1:
[73:24] No. Not our marriage. Because it's sort of been done to death, the marriage of Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson.

Speaker 2:
[73:31] Oh, well, I did see this video. I put it in my...

Speaker 1:
[73:33] Yeah, but it's a video about the actual wedding and the events that led up to it. And the fact that they had to...

Speaker 2:
[73:38] Didn't they rush it or something?

Speaker 1:
[73:40] They had to coordinate the comic book with the newspaper comic strip and the live events that they did. And they did a giveaway at Shea Stadium. And they gave away these wedding comic books and all this sort of stuff. And it's a great video. Super fun. Because I never really thought...

Speaker 2:
[74:00] I wasn't zoning out.

Speaker 1:
[74:01] But I never really thought about... Because the wedding of Mary Jane and Peter Parker in that universe fell apart eventually. And that's sort of been done to death. But I never really thought about... Because I was sort of barely alive at that point. So I didn't really know anything about that. Also, Stanley...

Speaker 2:
[74:18] It's a funny way to describe childhood.

Speaker 1:
[74:20] That's right. So in the comic strip... This is a little spoiler for the video. But I think you should watch the whole video. But in the comic strip, they got married. And then when their marriage was undone by the devil in the comic books, the same thing happened in the comic strip. But they were just like, yeah, they broke up. And then they got back together again.

Speaker 2:
[74:41] That's nice.

Speaker 1:
[74:42] Yeah, Stanley was just like, no, they're still married.

Speaker 2:
[74:44] What if they got back together again? Any ideas on how, Stan? No.

Speaker 1:
[74:49] Who cares?

Speaker 2:
[74:51] Shut up.

Speaker 1:
[74:52] Why don't you ask my friend Sean Connery? He could say it.

Speaker 2:
[74:56] That's a good thing to say. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:
[74:58] Anyway, big old words. Oh, and I saw a couple more shows at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

Speaker 2:
[75:03] Must be nice.

Speaker 1:
[75:04] It is nice. And also, by the time this comes out...

Speaker 2:
[75:06] Must be.

Speaker 1:
[75:07] By the time this comes out, Comedy Festival will be over. But a bunch of people who did show at Comedy Festival are doing shows at the Sydney Comedy Festival. So if you're in Sydney, Lauren Bonner is always great.

Speaker 2:
[75:17] Hell yeah.

Speaker 1:
[75:17] I mentioned her, I think, in previous years. But if you just want good, solid stand-up comedy, Lauren Bonner and also Daniel Walker did a great show. I bet her grandad.

Speaker 2:
[75:26] You've been singing all these praises to me, Mason.

Speaker 1:
[75:28] I've been singing all the praises.

Speaker 2:
[75:30] Cool. Okay.

Speaker 1:
[75:30] The shows. All right. And they live up in Sydney, so you can see them all the time, I suppose, doing Sydney stuff.

Speaker 2:
[75:34] You can go and wave.

Speaker 1:
[75:35] You can wave at them. Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[75:36] And they like that?

Speaker 1:
[75:38] Yeah. They told me. All right.

Speaker 2:
[75:41] Well, I've been watching. I got a few episodes to go. It's a show on Netflix called Big Mistakes.

Speaker 1:
[75:45] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[75:46] Created by Dan Levy and Rachel Senott.

Speaker 1:
[75:48] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[75:49] Senott. You know her. She's in...

Speaker 1:
[75:51] Yeah, I wave at her all the time.

Speaker 2:
[75:53] She doesn't like that. She's in Martin McSpring.

Speaker 1:
[75:56] Yeah, and she's in...

Speaker 2:
[75:57] Among other things.

Speaker 1:
[75:58] No, she's not.

Speaker 2:
[75:59] Isn't she?

Speaker 1:
[75:59] No.

Speaker 2:
[76:00] Oh, no, I'm thinking of...

Speaker 1:
[76:01] You're thinking of her friend, Odessa Asayan. Yeah, you're right. She is in I Love LA.

Speaker 2:
[76:06] Yes.

Speaker 1:
[76:06] Odessa Asayan is also in.

Speaker 2:
[76:07] And isn't she in Martin Supreme?

Speaker 1:
[76:09] She's not in Martin Supreme.

Speaker 2:
[76:10] Isn't she in Bodies, Bodies, Bodies and also The Movie Bottoms?

Speaker 1:
[76:13] Yes, she is.

Speaker 2:
[76:15] Oh, she's in The Idol. Yuck. Anyway, it's not her fault. Yeah, sure. Just the yuck in general. So this is a comedy drama series. It also stars Dan Levy and Taylor Ortega and Laurie Metcalf-Carles there from Roseanne and the various other things.

Speaker 1:
[76:30] Cofife.

Speaker 2:
[76:31] Thank you.

Speaker 1:
[76:32] Remember that one? Remember that classic gaffe?

Speaker 2:
[76:34] I do.

Speaker 1:
[76:34] It was funny and good. It was short of Bring Him Down. You remember that? We were like, oh, if we say Cofife enough, he'll be gone.

Speaker 2:
[76:41] Got him now.

Speaker 1:
[76:41] We got him now, we said.

Speaker 2:
[76:42] What's the president in Cheeseburger up to now? That's what I'm always saying.

Speaker 1:
[76:47] Cheeto in Chief, we call him. We got him. Satire, political satire.

Speaker 2:
[76:50] Just to be clear, he is still the president during active harm.

Speaker 1:
[76:52] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[76:53] As we record this, correct?

Speaker 1:
[76:54] Correct, yes.

Speaker 2:
[76:55] Yes.

Speaker 1:
[76:55] But it's good to have a laugh, isn't it?

Speaker 2:
[76:56] It's good to laugh.

Speaker 1:
[76:57] You got to laugh, otherwise you cry. You got to laugh all the time. I just laugh. I just laugh all the time.

Speaker 2:
[77:02] I've stopped working on myself, so it doesn't matter to me.

Speaker 1:
[77:04] I never worked on myself. That's why I laugh and laugh and I never cry. Put that on my tombstone. I laugh and laugh and I never cry.

Speaker 2:
[77:14] He laughed and laughed and he never cried and now he's dead.

Speaker 1:
[77:17] What did he achieve?

Speaker 2:
[77:18] I don't know.

Speaker 1:
[77:18] I don't know, man.

Speaker 2:
[77:20] Seemed all right. Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[77:21] And we're spewing.

Speaker 2:
[77:23] Yeah. We're dev-o.

Speaker 1:
[77:25] That's the next t-shirt idea. And you have to take that.

Speaker 2:
[77:28] What's it packaged with?

Speaker 1:
[77:28] Sclena Wars.

Speaker 2:
[77:29] Both of them?

Speaker 1:
[77:30] The Brandon Continues.

Speaker 2:
[77:31] Both of them? Yep. The two?

Speaker 1:
[77:34] Yeah, you have to buy the double pack at my funeral. He laughed and laughed and he never cried and now we're spewing. RIP.

Speaker 2:
[77:41] There must be a whole lot of different... Because I've seen people put them together of just things that we're saying for our tombstones. Yeah. Because that is a regularly recurring joke. There must be hundreds of those at this point.

Speaker 1:
[77:52] What do you mean joke? I want multiple tombstones all stacked on top of each other.

Speaker 2:
[77:55] You want to be cut into small pieces and spread across multiple sites. Anyway, this is about a brother and sister played by Dan Levy and Taylor Ortega. He is a minister and she is a teacher and a failed actor. And they get caught up in what they think is... She ends up stealing a necklace from a post office kind of general kind of store. And it turns out it's actually a very important, expensive necklace. And it brings them into this world of...

Speaker 1:
[78:26] A VIEN.

Speaker 2:
[78:27] Yes. And it brings them into this world of low-level organized crime.

Speaker 1:
[78:33] It's interesting.

Speaker 2:
[78:33] And they're giving slowly... And they're given bizarre tasks to do.

Speaker 1:
[78:38] By the crime lords.

Speaker 2:
[78:39] By the crime lords. And they're like, what is this even for? But they have to do what they're compelled to for various reasons.

Speaker 1:
[78:47] Magic Amulet on the necklace.

Speaker 2:
[78:48] That's right. It's very funny. There's some drama to it as well. But there's... Lori Metcalf is so... Is that how you say her name? I can't remember. She's so funny.

Speaker 1:
[78:58] It's Metclaf. No, it's not.

Speaker 2:
[79:01] She's so funny. They all are. It's just a really well put together solid show. Okay. Because Dan Levy, of course, was in...

Speaker 1:
[79:09] Oh, I know Lori Metcalf.

Speaker 2:
[79:10] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[79:11] Personally, I wave at her.

Speaker 2:
[79:12] Oh, yeah. She doesn't like that.

Speaker 1:
[79:13] No, she doesn't.

Speaker 2:
[79:14] E, of course, was the last thing he did before. One of the last things he did before this was Schitt's Creek.

Speaker 1:
[79:19] Correct.

Speaker 2:
[79:19] But this is less like slice of life kind of... Oh, this is fun, isn't it?

Speaker 1:
[79:25] Yes.

Speaker 2:
[79:25] Look at this family and this is more kind of dysfunctionality and...

Speaker 1:
[79:29] Did you ever watch any of Our Friends and Neighbours? Which was that Jon Hamm show with a somewhat similar premise?

Speaker 2:
[79:36] Doesn't that have a cut? Doesn't that on... The second season of That is on Apple right now, isn't it?

Speaker 1:
[79:41] Correct. Yeah, that's right. Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[79:42] No.

Speaker 1:
[79:42] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[79:43] Where like Jon Hamm is like, I'm stealing from all my friends.

Speaker 1:
[79:45] That's right.

Speaker 2:
[79:45] And neighbours.

Speaker 1:
[79:46] No.

Speaker 2:
[79:49] No, I haven't seen a single second of that show, but maybe I'll check it out at some point.

Speaker 1:
[79:52] Same.

Speaker 2:
[79:53] I've heard it's all right. Do you watch Smoke or Government Cheese also on Apple or Dope Thief?

Speaker 1:
[79:58] No, but Government Cheese, that's related to something we've done recently.

Speaker 2:
[80:01] No, it's not.

Speaker 1:
[80:02] The creative that also did something.

Speaker 2:
[80:04] Oh, yeah, that we watched or something.

Speaker 1:
[80:06] We'll never. Don't worry about it.

Speaker 2:
[80:08] We'll never and don't worry about it.

Speaker 1:
[80:09] Don't worry about it. You laughed and laughed.

Speaker 2:
[80:11] I created by Paul Hunter, who did Marilyn Manson's 1998 film clip at the Dope Show. That must have been what you're thinking of.

Speaker 1:
[80:20] That's what I'm thinking of, yeah.

Speaker 2:
[80:21] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[80:23] Well, we're all stars in that.

Speaker 2:
[80:24] We certainly are. Great. Anything else?

Speaker 1:
[80:28] No, that's it.

Speaker 2:
[80:28] Great.

Speaker 1:
[80:29] I think it's Time for Lettuce.

Speaker 2:
[80:30] It probably is, actually. I hate to say it. I don't like admitting that, but it's true.

Speaker 1:
[80:34] You love letters and you love love letters.

Speaker 2:
[80:36] I do love love letters.

Speaker 1:
[80:38] In a way, the letter segment is a love letter to letters.

Speaker 2:
[80:41] I don't see it like that.

Speaker 1:
[80:43] I do.

Speaker 2:
[80:44] I disagree.

Speaker 1:
[80:45] All right. God. God. This is why you're always crying and crying and never laughing.

Speaker 2:
[80:50] I'm working on myself.

Speaker 1:
[80:51] And then you died. Oh, she did say he laughed and laughed and he never cried and he never worked on himself and he's dead now.

Speaker 2:
[80:59] Yes.

Speaker 1:
[81:00] So it's a triple t-shirt pack.

Speaker 2:
[81:01] I agree with you.

Speaker 1:
[81:02] Time for letters. The classic one was... We know they're here right now, we're gonna do letters.

Speaker 2:
[81:17] If you want to reach the show, you can reach a letter. weeklyplanetpodatgmail.com. That'll get you where you need to go.

Speaker 1:
[81:23] Reach for your bloody phone.

Speaker 2:
[81:25] Please.

Speaker 1:
[81:25] Get a letter.

Speaker 2:
[81:26] Get a letter or go into the Planet Broadcasting Great Mates Group. Why would you do that, Mason? Why would you do that?

Speaker 1:
[81:32] Oh, you could go. There's a thread. You put up a thread every week. I say, any questions? Any questions?

Speaker 2:
[81:37] That's right. And any questions for Ben? Sometimes there are.

Speaker 1:
[81:41] Ben, the editor?

Speaker 2:
[81:42] Yeah, you might. There might be some questions for Ben.

Speaker 1:
[81:44] Sure.

Speaker 2:
[81:44] Yeah, you might. You might have some and you might answer. You probably would actually if you reached out to him. Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[81:49] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[81:50] Hell yeah.

Speaker 1:
[81:50] Here's an email from Colin.

Speaker 2:
[81:52] Colin?

Speaker 1:
[81:52] Who says, my dad's comics.

Speaker 2:
[81:54] Trevorrow?

Speaker 1:
[81:54] Then he says, hello there, it's Colin. Trevorrow? My dad told me he'd give me his comics when I was old enough. He valued them very much, which I think is sweet. He also always talked about how they would be worth a lot of money one day. He gave them to me and I slowly made my way through tons of boxes of his comics. Over the years, I realized they are not worth much at all, like barely anything.

Speaker 2:
[82:12] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[82:12] Here's some cool ones like the first appearance of Vision in Avengers 57 and Craven's Last Hunt. I'm just wondering how to break the news to my dad that his prize collectibles are not that prize in other people's eyes. Also, I want some insight on what you guys think about collecting. Best Colin Trevorrow.

Speaker 2:
[82:27] I mean, if your dad likes them.

Speaker 1:
[82:28] First of all, bit of a twist there. Dad's still alive. Good. But I thought that's initially where that letter was going to go.

Speaker 2:
[82:36] What a twist.

Speaker 1:
[82:36] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[82:37] Now, a twist would have been like your dad got turned into the mummy. That would have been a great twist.

Speaker 1:
[82:42] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[82:43] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[82:43] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[82:43] Yeah. Congratulations on your dad being alive. That's awesome, actually. And cool that he wanted you to have that and see and pass it on. You don't have to tell him.

Speaker 1:
[82:52] You don't tell him. Why would you tell him?

Speaker 2:
[82:53] It's a solid collection.

Speaker 1:
[82:54] Yeah, that sounds good. It says tons of boxes. Yeah. So that's fun. It is fun. That's the value. That is the value, the magic of comics. And you know what?

Speaker 2:
[83:04] Just hang on for a decade or so.

Speaker 1:
[83:05] I would say this era as well, probably a big, like an era for like high quality bunch of stuff. I reckon you'd be like-

Speaker 2:
[83:11] What was that?

Speaker 1:
[83:13] Avengers 57, First Appearance of Vision and Craven's Last Hunt. So that's like, you know, that's-

Speaker 2:
[83:19] I'm looking on eBay here. There's like ones in the thousands. I mean, it depends on the quality. There's one on eBay and it depends if you would get this.

Speaker 1:
[83:26] This one says, it says they're covered in muck and spew. All these comics are covered in- I didn't mention that, but it says these comics are covered in muck and spew.

Speaker 2:
[83:34] Is this a lot of muck and spew?

Speaker 1:
[83:36] Yeah, heaps. It says 50% muck and spew, 50% comics.

Speaker 2:
[83:41] I think the muck and spew might be worth more than the comic center at that point.

Speaker 1:
[83:44] Go to Marty's Muck and Spew and see what he will say.

Speaker 2:
[83:47] Come on down to Marty's Muck and Spew. I'll muck and spew all over you.

Speaker 1:
[83:50] I'll buy your muck and your spew.

Speaker 2:
[83:52] You might be walking past.

Speaker 1:
[83:53] I'll get a deal for you.

Speaker 2:
[83:54] I'll get a deal for you walking past.

Speaker 1:
[83:55] T-shirt idea. Marty's Muck and Spew. He'll buy your muck and spew and get a deal for you.

Speaker 2:
[83:59] And also, I was going to say, if you're walking past, you don't want to go in. He'll come out and spew on you.

Speaker 1:
[84:07] And he'll say, first one's free. Marty's Muck and Spew.

Speaker 2:
[84:10] And also, first one's also free.

Speaker 1:
[84:17] And people say we're dumb, you know?

Speaker 2:
[84:18] They say that.

Speaker 1:
[84:19] Everyone. I just want you to know.

Speaker 2:
[84:21] Every single person.

Speaker 1:
[84:22] Every single person we know and don't know says we're dumb. We're two dumb idiots.

Speaker 2:
[84:26] Say this is the opposed appearance of vision.

Speaker 1:
[84:29] I honestly thought you were going to turn that around. It's an ad for a guy selling muck and spew. I was like, what? How did this happen? Okay, but that's a good comic.

Speaker 2:
[84:40] Yeah, you're good. Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[84:42] Well, you got to get a completed listings to see where they sell it for.

Speaker 2:
[84:46] Yeah. I mean, I guess he did.

Speaker 1:
[84:47] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[84:48] What's a Graven's Arse Hunt original copy verse worth?

Speaker 1:
[84:51] I don't know, man. 100 bucks, 200 bucks, 5,000 bucks.

Speaker 2:
[84:54] Yeah, I think that's decent.

Speaker 1:
[84:55] Yeah. But the value is having a chat with your dad.

Speaker 2:
[84:59] Exactly.

Speaker 1:
[85:00] Read a comic and then bring it over to your dad and be like, I read this one. I read it.

Speaker 2:
[85:04] An original, you might get 200 bucks for it.

Speaker 1:
[85:06] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[85:06] 250, 200 bucks. Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[85:08] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[85:09] And it's also like he bought these presumably also because he likes comics.

Speaker 1:
[85:12] Yes.

Speaker 2:
[85:13] He didn't buy them in an era where comics were worth anything.

Speaker 1:
[85:17] Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 2:
[85:18] He's doing it for the love of the game. Anyway, my attitude to collecting is waste of time. Don't bother. Then you get handed muck and spew.

Speaker 1:
[85:25] That's exactly right.

Speaker 2:
[85:27] No, collecting is cool. I love seeing someone's collection of anything.

Speaker 1:
[85:30] I agree.

Speaker 2:
[85:30] Like, man, let me have a look. Except if it's different whiskeys.

Speaker 1:
[85:33] Fuck off. Well, okay. But I like looking at all the different bottles.

Speaker 2:
[85:38] Yeah, but like it's not that interesting to me. It's just like, oh, your hobby is being an alcoholic. Cool man.

Speaker 1:
[85:45] Probably not. A lot of times they're not even drinking them.

Speaker 2:
[85:47] Yeah, you're right, actually.

Speaker 1:
[85:48] They're waiting.

Speaker 2:
[85:49] I don't actually care. Do whatever.

Speaker 1:
[85:50] I'm very interested.

Speaker 2:
[85:52] I like hearing about people's different hobbies.

Speaker 1:
[85:54] I find it very interesting when people are interested in things because I'm very rarely interested enough in a thing to be like, I'm going to make this my whole life. I'm going to make this my whole life. Like, I don't like trains, but I'm interested when other people like, I love trains. I'm like, what do you like about them?

Speaker 2:
[86:07] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[86:07] Weird stuff.

Speaker 2:
[86:08] Weird stuff. Cool stuff. Do you like Tron?

Speaker 1:
[86:10] I do like Tron.

Speaker 2:
[86:11] Do you want to make your whole life about Tron?

Speaker 1:
[86:12] Absolutely not. Why not?

Speaker 2:
[86:15] Tron could come back. You don't know.

Speaker 1:
[86:16] Maybe.

Speaker 2:
[86:17] Now's the time to get in.

Speaker 1:
[86:18] Oh, that's true, isn't it?

Speaker 2:
[86:18] Get in when it's low.

Speaker 1:
[86:19] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[86:20] Get in when there's low interest in Tron and everyone hates Tron.

Speaker 1:
[86:22] That's right.

Speaker 2:
[86:23] Now's the time.

Speaker 1:
[86:23] Then I can clean up.

Speaker 2:
[86:24] That's when you make money.

Speaker 1:
[86:26] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[86:26] Buy Tron comics. Give them to your kid.

Speaker 1:
[86:28] Tronics.

Speaker 2:
[86:29] Worth a lot of money, probably. Yeah. Emerson said, did you watch the leaked Avatar Ang movie? Do you know about this?

Speaker 1:
[86:36] I heard about it. The entire thing, right?

Speaker 2:
[86:38] Horrible.

Speaker 1:
[86:38] Is this live action or this is animated?

Speaker 2:
[86:39] This is animated. It's a sequel to the animated series.

Speaker 1:
[86:42] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[86:43] Apparently, it's good from the people who have watched it. I'm not going to watch this.

Speaker 1:
[86:46] It's finished.

Speaker 2:
[86:47] It's not finished. It's done.

Speaker 1:
[86:49] And it wasn't going to be out for like a year or something. No.

Speaker 2:
[86:50] And they're going to look into it.

Speaker 1:
[86:52] Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2:
[86:53] I don't know what they're going to find. Apparently, it leaked to like a Twitter user or something.

Speaker 1:
[86:58] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[86:59] Yeah. Says the Avatar, the Esquire says, the Avatar last day, it had been to a sequel leak, should worry everyone.

Speaker 1:
[87:05] Oh, thanks Esquire.

Speaker 2:
[87:06] Not everyone.

Speaker 1:
[87:07] No, I'm not worried.

Speaker 2:
[87:09] We don't all have to worry about this.

Speaker 1:
[87:10] I'm actually not worried. I think we've all got enough worries in this world with that Cheeto in chief. I don't think we should be also worrying about the release of the Avatar movie.

Speaker 2:
[87:18] We freaking got it.

Speaker 1:
[87:19] Just don't even worry about it.

Speaker 2:
[87:20] Yeah. It is like, fuck Paramount obviously and all of that. But for the people who worked on this for years, that's awful. You know, when people are saying it's good enough that maybe they should do a theatrical release of this.

Speaker 1:
[87:34] Also was going to go to stream originally.

Speaker 2:
[87:35] I think it was, yeah. But I don't know. Again.

Speaker 1:
[87:39] Yeah, because what happens as well is that...

Speaker 2:
[87:41] Apparently, the account that leaked the movie said Nickelodeon accidentally emailed them the full film.

Speaker 1:
[87:46] Well, better put it on the internet then.

Speaker 2:
[87:48] Yeah, why not, eh?

Speaker 1:
[87:49] Yeah. And the problem there also is that...

Speaker 2:
[87:52] Why do you email that to them?

Speaker 1:
[87:53] And this has happened before is that it will get leaked. And then whenever they do like a proper streaming release or a theatrical release, it doesn't make any money. And that person is like, it's always regarded then as a failure because it didn't make any money. It's like, well, these are the most extenuating circumstances, i.e. anybody could get it for free now.

Speaker 2:
[88:11] Absolutely. Oh, also apparently that's not true. It was hackers, it seems.

Speaker 1:
[88:14] Oh, the movie Hackers. I mean, I've seen that. That's been released before.

Speaker 2:
[88:18] True. Hackers is normally not like an elite hacker. Somebody did something stupid. Like left their computer open somewhere or in a taxi or their password was password or something like that. It's never like an elite hacking operation.

Speaker 1:
[88:33] It's very rarely zero cool or crash override.

Speaker 2:
[88:36] Wolverine leaked the movie.

Speaker 1:
[88:38] Yes.

Speaker 2:
[88:38] I got a video on this. But basically the way it happened was Rupert Murdoch demanded to see a copy of it. So they-

Speaker 1:
[88:44] From his best friend Hugh Jackman.

Speaker 2:
[88:45] Hugh Jackman. So Hugh Jackman, so they requested it and they made a work print. Then when they cleared out the offices, they just left it on a hard drive and left the hard drive there and that's how it got leaked. So it was Rupert Murdoch's fault.

Speaker 1:
[88:57] And Hugh Jackman's fault.

Speaker 2:
[88:58] Then a guy did go to jail for it, but it wasn't like the guy who did it. It was like the guy who-

Speaker 1:
[89:04] I've reviewed it or something.

Speaker 2:
[89:05] Oh no, he got fired. It was a guy at Fox who decided to review it, which is insane because it's a Fox release. Yeah. Anyway, I guess I wouldn't have done any of that. I would have been smart enough to not do it. Would you have done the same?

Speaker 1:
[89:18] Let me think about my core beliefs. Laugh, laugh, never cry. I would have. No, and I would have reviewed it.

Speaker 2:
[89:25] And you would have.

Speaker 1:
[89:26] Yeah, yeah. That fits my core values, I think.

Speaker 2:
[89:28] Hell yeah.

Speaker 1:
[89:28] Of laughing, laughing, never cry, never work on yourself.

Speaker 2:
[89:31] Got another letter, Mason?

Speaker 1:
[89:32] Absolutely. It's from Truman.

Speaker 2:
[89:33] Truman Capote?

Speaker 1:
[89:34] Yep. Hello. That's how we talk.

Speaker 2:
[89:37] You did talk about that.

Speaker 1:
[89:38] The Scourge of TV Series Companion Podcast. It seems like nowadays every new episode of a show has a corresponding podcast that gets advertised beforehand.

Speaker 2:
[89:46] Hell yeah.

Speaker 1:
[89:47] Never in my life have I felt compelled to listen or watch one of these podcasts even for shows I really enjoy. Have you ever consumed any of them?

Speaker 2:
[89:53] I did some for the first series of The Last of Us, and I haven't done anything else. They're being like, you watched the latest episode of Daredevil, and these are the people in Daredevil talking about Daredevil.

Speaker 1:
[90:01] Yeah, I tried to watch the first five minutes of episode one of Daredevil Born Again Season 2 companion podcast, and it's Vincent D'Onofrio and Charlie Cox. Vinnie D'Onof! Vinnie D'Onof and Charlie Coffs.

Speaker 2:
[90:11] No.

Speaker 1:
[90:12] He's sick.

Speaker 2:
[90:12] Why do you say big?

Speaker 1:
[90:14] Big Charlie. Yes. Big Chuck.

Speaker 2:
[90:16] Big Chuck Coffs.

Speaker 1:
[90:18] Probably grilled chicken. Broiled chicken and rice. It's probably broiled chicken and rice, yeah. Yeah, brown rice.

Speaker 2:
[90:24] Sounds good.

Speaker 1:
[90:25] Celery. Broccoli. I like a broccoli. Anyway, I couldn't get through it. Because it's also very much like, it's them just reading from a prepared thing of like, Daredevil comes back to New York City and is facing up against the kingpin and something, something, something, something, and they've clearly got a black. Obviously, it's part of the contract, and I'm sure they're probably having a good time or whatever, but it feels like they're just running through a series of-

Speaker 2:
[90:48] I would prefer the people who wrote it and directed it, and maybe they're out there too also, I guess. Or somebody who's a super fan or knows a lot about them. The recap stuff I would watch or listen to was not people who made it generally, it's people who know a lot about it and invested in it.

Speaker 1:
[91:05] And also I think, I don't know, I think the best podcast about behind the scenes stuff is the unauthorized stuff.

Speaker 2:
[91:12] Totally.

Speaker 1:
[91:12] The stuff with all the juicy details. They're gonna drop some fun stories, but they're not gonna drop anything. Especially a Disney Marvel podcast, they're not gonna drop anything about like, yeah, we had to scrap a bunch of this because it sucked and none of it worked, so we had to throw it all out.

Speaker 2:
[91:28] Yeah, this bit looks bad because this is why.

Speaker 1:
[91:31] They had to crunch everybody, so...

Speaker 2:
[91:33] Well, Levi actually said, Appreciate editing can be quite the hassle, but would you ever consider bringing back the weekly wrap-ups for TV shows? It used to be exclusively Marvel shows, but maybe you could do anything really. I mean, it's a lot of crunch, especially for Collin, who was editing the videos of those, to do that. There's nothing that I have enough interest in where I'd want to do that. If I was to do a weekly thing, it would probably be an older show that was like, I love this, I'm just gonna talk about every episode, but I can't even think of anything for that. So probably, that was also a more exciting time for me in terms of watching Marvel stuff, and now I don't have that. And also, sometimes I just like, stuff that I also really, really like, maybe I don't want to talk about it straight away, every week, et cetera. Anyway, you okay with not doing that?

Speaker 1:
[92:16] Yeah. Great! Let me think, I'll check my ethos. Laughs and laughs, never cries, never works, and himself, correct, yeah, I'm not gonna be doing that.

Speaker 2:
[92:22] Dead in the Ditch.

Speaker 1:
[92:24] Dead in the Ditch brackets and loving it.

Speaker 2:
[92:25] Brackets, multiple graves, yeah. What else you got, Mason?

Speaker 1:
[92:29] It's from Isadora.

Speaker 2:
[92:30] Isadora.

Speaker 1:
[92:31] Dear Weekly Planet hosts, that's us. I hope you guys are doing great. We are.

Speaker 2:
[92:35] We always are.

Speaker 1:
[92:36] We laugh and laugh, I laugh and laugh.

Speaker 2:
[92:38] I'm not working on myself.

Speaker 1:
[92:39] You're mostly crying.

Speaker 2:
[92:40] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[92:41] Although I'm not a listener of your podcast, I am a listener of my boyfriend talking about your podcast.

Speaker 2:
[92:45] Well, well, well. I've met a lot of you in real life in live shows.

Speaker 1:
[92:49] That's right. That's right. We know you all refer to us as those horrible men. We know. Nico is an avid and loyal listener of yours. He loves films and he also works as a grip technician on set. He gives you some very juicy gossip about the project he is working on at the moment. But as I've said, he's very loyal.

Speaker 2:
[93:05] What is it?

Speaker 1:
[93:06] Yeah. Tell us secrets.

Speaker 2:
[93:08] Ruin his life.

Speaker 1:
[93:09] He's the best boyfriend in the entire world. And I know he would absolutely thrilled if you could wish him a happy 36th birthday in one of your upcoming episodes. He won't miss it and he'll jump for joy in the living room. He would never forget this surprise.

Speaker 2:
[93:20] Who gets the credit?

Speaker 1:
[93:21] Um, I do.

Speaker 2:
[93:23] Yeah, all right.

Speaker 1:
[93:24] Great.

Speaker 2:
[93:24] Happy birthday, Nico.

Speaker 1:
[93:25] Happy birthday.

Speaker 2:
[93:26] What are you doing?

Speaker 1:
[93:27] From two horrible men.

Speaker 2:
[93:28] What are you working on?

Speaker 1:
[93:29] What are you telling us your secrets?

Speaker 2:
[93:30] Yeah, we won't tell anybody.

Speaker 1:
[93:31] This is quid pro quo. You're going to tell us your horrible secrets.

Speaker 2:
[93:33] Exactly.

Speaker 1:
[93:34] Tell us who sucks. Who sucks? Who's a grot? Who is it? Who's a grot on set?

Speaker 2:
[93:38] Dua Lina Dunham.

Speaker 1:
[93:39] Is it Jon Hamm? Is it Jon Hamm and he's a grot?

Speaker 2:
[93:41] Is he?

Speaker 1:
[93:42] Is he a grot?

Speaker 2:
[93:43] Is he grotting around?

Speaker 1:
[93:44] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[93:44] Yeah. Is he his friends and neighbours or whatever? Is he grotting on that show with James Marsden season two? Is that what's happening?

Speaker 1:
[93:50] Maybe. We won't know until Nico spills the beans.

Speaker 2:
[93:53] I hope he's working on the TV show Paradise also with James Marsden. Good show. Seen it?

Speaker 1:
[93:57] Seen a poster. Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[93:59] Good enough for me.

Speaker 1:
[94:00] That's right.

Speaker 2:
[94:01] Happy birthday or shout out. 36.

Speaker 1:
[94:04] Happy birthday.

Speaker 2:
[94:04] Happy birthday.

Speaker 1:
[94:05] Shout out. Nailed it.

Speaker 2:
[94:08] This is from Liam. Yep. He says, do you think being critical, for lack of a better word, is a skill you can develop or is it just somewhat innate? I tend to find myself liking almost everything I watch. So much so, it makes me wonder if I'm part of the problem with things getting worse. But I'd like to be able to come out of a film with something or something with more to talk about. I think that's totally fine.

Speaker 1:
[94:25] That's good.

Speaker 2:
[94:26] You like things and that's great.

Speaker 1:
[94:27] That is good.

Speaker 2:
[94:28] I think if it's something you do want to develop it, you can. You don't have to. I guess by watching more things, I like looking at behind the scenes stuff, listening to other reviews and having discussion with the people, researching.

Speaker 1:
[94:41] I can't remember who said this, but probably someone we know. It was basically just if you watch a movie, how did it make you feel? That's the review.

Speaker 2:
[94:48] I think.

Speaker 1:
[94:49] And then you can draw upon from that. Oh, I enjoy just what you enjoyed.

Speaker 2:
[94:53] Exactly.

Speaker 1:
[94:53] Why did you enjoy it? And that's it.

Speaker 2:
[94:55] And then we'll tell you why you're wrong.

Speaker 1:
[94:57] You're wrong. Did you see the lighting? See the clipping on that? See the clipping on the thing?

Speaker 2:
[95:05] I think it can be hard, and this is something you can definitely develop, describing why you like something or don't like something or your opinion. Like putting that into words instead of being like, I don't know, I just feel like I didn't like it, but I don't know why. Or I liked it, but I don't know why.

Speaker 1:
[95:18] Also, I feel like I'm still working on being critical.

Speaker 2:
[95:21] Totally, yeah.

Speaker 1:
[95:21] Even though we've done this for a decade.

Speaker 2:
[95:23] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[95:23] I'm like, I could still, you know, I could still... I'm still working on it, you know?

Speaker 2:
[95:29] Yeah, man.

Speaker 1:
[95:30] And it's all right if your opinion changes, I think.

Speaker 2:
[95:32] Disagree.

Speaker 1:
[95:32] Yeah. As long as you're never working on yourself.

Speaker 2:
[95:36] You shouldn't.

Speaker 1:
[95:36] Yeah, agreed.

Speaker 2:
[95:37] Got another letter?

Speaker 1:
[95:38] No.

Speaker 2:
[95:38] Oh, I've got one.

Speaker 1:
[95:39] All right.

Speaker 2:
[95:39] Richard Living says, If a person on a bike can go fast and the person running at full tilt, how much faster could the Flash go if he was on a BMX? He wouldn't because the bike couldn't handle the Geforce.

Speaker 1:
[95:50] What if the bike's made of kryptonite?

Speaker 2:
[95:52] I don't know what that means.

Speaker 1:
[95:54] What if?

Speaker 2:
[95:55] That's good.

Speaker 1:
[95:56] What if it's made of inth metal?

Speaker 2:
[95:57] OK, if it was an invincible bike.

Speaker 1:
[95:59] Invincible bike. Invincible bike.

Speaker 2:
[96:01] I guess technically would be faster.

Speaker 1:
[96:03] Hmm.

Speaker 2:
[96:05] Right?

Speaker 1:
[96:07] I don't know. Let's get Gout Gout on a bike.

Speaker 2:
[96:09] What's Gout Gout?

Speaker 1:
[96:10] He's the guy. He's the fastest guy. He's the new fastest guy. I think he's Australian.

Speaker 2:
[96:14] I don't think he's that fast. In the way you're describing him. This guy I've never heard of.

Speaker 1:
[96:17] Wow. All right. Get that other fast guy. Who's the other fast guy?

Speaker 2:
[96:22] How fast is this guy?

Speaker 1:
[96:23] He's freaking fast, man.

Speaker 2:
[96:25] He's the ocean under 20 record holder. Whoa, for the 200 meters.

Speaker 1:
[96:28] That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2:
[96:29] His time is 1967. That's ages.

Speaker 1:
[96:32] Right.

Speaker 2:
[96:34] Yeah. Oh, Gap Gap Leaves the Athletic World Divided. news.com.au. This will be some bullshit. Let's have a look. It's saying, do you like ads?

Speaker 1:
[96:46] No.

Speaker 2:
[96:47] Oh, well, good for this guy. This guy I've never heard of.

Speaker 1:
[96:51] Agreed.

Speaker 2:
[96:52] Damn, this guy's fast as hell. I don't care what you say.

Speaker 1:
[96:54] Okay. Okay. So I think the...

Speaker 2:
[96:59] We never get Australian dudes who are this fast.

Speaker 1:
[97:01] No, that's true.

Speaker 2:
[97:02] This is great.

Speaker 1:
[97:02] I think... Who was the previous fastest guy?

Speaker 2:
[97:04] Usain Bolt.

Speaker 1:
[97:05] There we go. I knew it was nominative determinism.

Speaker 2:
[97:11] It's a good thing that gout doesn't just have gout. It's nominative determinism.

Speaker 1:
[97:14] Exactly.

Speaker 2:
[97:14] You wouldn't be able to do any of this.

Speaker 1:
[97:15] Yeah, double gout. You kidding me? In both feet? My goodness. That's an impediment to running. I think that the Flash will be faster without a bike. I think the bike would be an impediment. I think it's a speed force.

Speaker 2:
[97:27] I guess it would be like also if Superman running is not as fast as Superman flying.

Speaker 1:
[97:30] Yeah, agreed.

Speaker 2:
[97:32] Friction, gravity.

Speaker 1:
[97:33] Well, if we're doing hypotheticals, Alexander says, We're not. This is Alex from Boston. G'day. Question for you two. If a vampire had a signed search warrant, would that count, see what I did there, as an invitation for them to enter the house?

Speaker 2:
[97:46] No.

Speaker 1:
[97:46] You don't think so?

Speaker 2:
[97:47] No, because it has to be from the owner of the house.

Speaker 1:
[97:49] Correct. What if the warrant was from the judge who lived there?

Speaker 2:
[97:53] Um, it's not.

Speaker 1:
[97:55] Says it is.

Speaker 2:
[97:58] Then that's right.

Speaker 1:
[97:59] The judge took leave of his senses and he issued a search warrant for his own house and he gave it to the Dracula.

Speaker 2:
[98:05] Yeah, that's a very roundabout way to invite someone in to eat and kill you.

Speaker 1:
[98:10] Yeah, but I don't think a search warrant would work. I think you're correct.

Speaker 2:
[98:12] Yeah. Because you're giving someone else permission.

Speaker 1:
[98:15] Yeah, you can't do that.

Speaker 2:
[98:16] I couldn't give Dracula a permission to go into your house.

Speaker 1:
[98:18] Correct.

Speaker 2:
[98:18] Nor would I.

Speaker 1:
[98:19] No, thank you.

Speaker 2:
[98:19] I'd be like, he doesn't like that.

Speaker 1:
[98:21] No.

Speaker 2:
[98:22] I don't want to speak on behalf of you, but I wouldn't let a Dracula come into your house.

Speaker 1:
[98:25] Thanks, man.

Speaker 2:
[98:25] Yeah. Because it wouldn't work. If it did work, I would do it. Just to be clear.

Speaker 1:
[98:30] Just have a bit of a muck around.

Speaker 2:
[98:32] Dude, you would shit bricks.

Speaker 1:
[98:34] I agree. Yeah, I would. I'd be like, mate, what are you bloody doing here? Did James let you in here? Mate.

Speaker 2:
[98:41] What if you give somebody permission as a co-owner of your establishment?

Speaker 1:
[98:45] Go on.

Speaker 2:
[98:46] How's that work? Like, I'm at your house, right? If I'm at your house and Dracula comes to the door, we're having a party, just me and you.

Speaker 1:
[98:54] We're doing the Monster Mash. That's why Dracula wants in, because he's heard it.

Speaker 2:
[98:57] Dracula comes to the door.

Speaker 1:
[98:58] He's like, oh, it's a Monster Mash.

Speaker 2:
[98:59] Can I let him in because you've let me in?

Speaker 1:
[99:01] We'll see in the movie Sinners.

Speaker 2:
[99:03] Because that's what I'm talking about.

Speaker 1:
[99:04] But also she has a business stake in that stake. Stake. Because the lady who lets the Dracula's in in Sinners, she is working there. Partial ownership. That's a public business. Oh, but no, but the smoke and stack own it.

Speaker 2:
[99:17] Yes. But she...

Speaker 1:
[99:19] I don't know.

Speaker 2:
[99:20] But he's just trying to ask the doorman... No, the doorman's trying to ask people to let him in at some point.

Speaker 1:
[99:24] I think the thing you've said is correct. I think if you were at my house, you could let them in. I think it's anybody within the building who is not a Dracula. You can let a Dracula in.

Speaker 2:
[99:32] So a Dracula can't let another Dracula in?

Speaker 1:
[99:33] I don't think so, no.

Speaker 2:
[99:35] I think it's also like... It's like a psychosomatic block. I think you could just go in.

Speaker 1:
[99:40] It's probably also the zoning issue.

Speaker 2:
[99:41] It's probably the zoning issue. It's probably something to do with if you built your house on like a fault line or whatever.

Speaker 1:
[99:48] Absolutely. A ley line?

Speaker 2:
[99:50] A ley line or whatever. Something like that.

Speaker 1:
[99:52] On an Eric Clapton song. Absolutely.

Speaker 2:
[99:54] Eric Clapton.

Speaker 1:
[99:55] Damn. All right.

Speaker 2:
[99:56] Yeah, I get him every time.

Speaker 1:
[99:57] You do get him every time.

Speaker 2:
[100:00] He's steaming.

Speaker 1:
[100:00] He's steaming over there.

Speaker 2:
[100:01] Can you think of a time when I haven't got Eric Clapton?

Speaker 1:
[100:03] No, you haven't got Eric Clapton every single time. I think that's beautiful.

Speaker 2:
[100:06] Hell yeah.

Speaker 1:
[100:08] Eric Clapton zero, James however many times he's got Eric Clapton. A hundred times.

Speaker 2:
[100:12] Hundreds of Eric Clapton times.

Speaker 1:
[100:14] That's right.

Speaker 2:
[100:14] Eric Clapton right up.

Speaker 1:
[100:15] Are you googling the rules around Dracula's entering your house?

Speaker 2:
[100:18] No, I'm googling reviews for the show.

Speaker 1:
[100:20] Oh, interesting. Well, this is the end of the show.

Speaker 2:
[100:22] I hope so. I've got the reviews nearly.

Speaker 1:
[100:25] That's terrific. Well, I'll do the end of the show then. Folks, thank you so much for listening. We absolutely appreciate it.

Speaker 2:
[100:29] Don't forget that part of this has changed.

Speaker 1:
[100:32] Yep.

Speaker 2:
[100:32] Don't forget.

Speaker 1:
[100:33] I'm not going to forget.

Speaker 2:
[100:34] Don't fuck it up.

Speaker 1:
[100:35] Thanks, man. Now, I've got to start again. Thanks, everybody, for listening. It's good. Thanks for telling your friends about the podcast. Thanks for telling your friends about the podcast. That is how we get new listeners.

Speaker 2:
[100:46] Lesseners.

Speaker 1:
[100:47] We get less lesseners. Thank you for leaving a five-star review on your podcast app of choice. If you do so, James will find some reviews. He'll read them out like this.

Speaker 2:
[100:54] This is from Jack D. Brighton in The Hook, who says, best podcast about the rookie out there. All these guys do is watch the rookie and lie about reading our listeners' reviews, listening to these guys for years. If you want to get life-changing insights into a mediocre American cop show, then this is the podcast for you. They also occasionally talk about other TV, comic books and movies, too, I guess.

Speaker 1:
[101:12] So true.

Speaker 2:
[101:13] And this is from John Ham, Nine, from Ireland, who says, five stars, been listening for years for free and nobody has noticed a thing. I won't get away with this much longer. No, you shouldn't.

Speaker 1:
[101:24] No, you dog.

Speaker 2:
[101:25] I'm going to let a Dracula into your house.

Speaker 1:
[101:27] Nice. You can do that. If somebody leaves a review, technically, you're in their house.

Speaker 2:
[101:31] That's right.

Speaker 1:
[101:31] Exactly. Folks, if you want to get in contact with the show, you got a Weekly Planet pod at gmail.com. You go to The Planet Broadcasting, Great Maze Facebook group. You can go to The Weekly Planet group. I don't want to take it back. You go to The Weekly Planet subreddit and Discord for fun civil chats about podcasts and pop culture. Thank you to Sarabi, Maisy, Fidel. They moderate those forums. They make videos for The Weekly Planet Clips channel. They make videos for The Weekly Planet TikTok. They make videos for The Big Sandwich Classic Comic Book Club. Very exciting. If you want to support the show, two options. One, you can go to patreon.com/mrsundaymovies and chuck in some bucks, some small amount of bucks as the tier that you most wish to submit to.

Speaker 2:
[102:14] Correct.

Speaker 1:
[102:14] Ka-ching.

Speaker 2:
[102:15] Also, maybe you want to jump from Big Sandwich to Patreon. You could do that.

Speaker 1:
[102:17] Maybe you like Patreon. I mean, that would be good if you subscribe to other people's Patreon and you want it all in the one spot.

Speaker 2:
[102:23] Yeah, man.

Speaker 1:
[102:23] That would totally work. Exactly. You want that one amount every month or whatever. Gives you money. Or you can go to bigsandwich.co for 9 US dollars. That's right. Bonus podcast at both places. You get bonus podcasts, early videos, video game let's plays, movie commentaries, depending on your level.

Speaker 2:
[102:40] Yeah. Levels. Has to be a 9 or 10 dollar level, depending.

Speaker 1:
[102:43] Levels.

Speaker 2:
[102:43] Levels.

Speaker 1:
[102:44] Love levels.

Speaker 2:
[102:45] We love levels.

Speaker 1:
[102:46] Thank you.

Speaker 2:
[102:47] Of levels, James.

Speaker 1:
[102:48] Doesn't make any sense. Thank you to the Bruton and the Bats, who's going to rack and pull on musical themes.

Speaker 2:
[102:51] I think you find it makes sense.

Speaker 1:
[102:53] If you want a T-shirt, you go to tpublic.com, you search for The Weekly Planet, or Weekly Planet Posts. We've got so many T-shirts going.

Speaker 2:
[102:58] I agree.

Speaker 1:
[102:58] You think we're going to get some of these T-shirts?

Speaker 2:
[103:00] I think we're probably going to get all of them.

Speaker 1:
[103:03] Absolutely, they're ready to go.

Speaker 2:
[103:04] They're going to be ready to go. You've got to wear a T-shirt of an artist that you like. I've got a childish Gambino one. Anyway, it's not going to arrive on time, so I guess I'm just not going to wear a T-shirt.

Speaker 1:
[103:13] It's going to be shirtless.

Speaker 2:
[103:14] It's going to be shirtless.

Speaker 1:
[103:15] Wow, okay.

Speaker 2:
[103:16] The artist I like is, I guess, my abs.

Speaker 1:
[103:20] Wow, okay. I mean, you're bending the rules a little bit, but they can't say you're wrong, can they?

Speaker 2:
[103:24] I was going to say I'm abs from Five.

Speaker 1:
[103:27] Nice.

Speaker 2:
[103:28] That'll get them. But they'll be like, you don't have abs. And I'm like, I'm doing it ironically.

Speaker 1:
[103:32] Wow. It's good. That is good.

Speaker 2:
[103:35] The artist I like is Bert Kreischer. I'll be like, oh, come on, mate. You bloody got me just then.

Speaker 1:
[103:40] Yeah, nice. Next week, what do you reckon?

Speaker 2:
[103:43] Well, there's a couple of things.

Speaker 1:
[103:44] There's Exit 8.

Speaker 2:
[103:45] Exit 8, I do want to see. Maybe we'll do Exit 8. And in addition to that, I might see the Michael Jackson movie.

Speaker 1:
[103:50] I'm not going to see it.

Speaker 2:
[103:51] No, but I'm going to see it so I can make fun of it. I shouldn't go into it with that attitude.

Speaker 1:
[103:54] Yeah, maybe it's great.

Speaker 2:
[103:55] I'm going to go on with the attitude this is a good movie that ends just before he's accused of horrendous crimes.

Speaker 1:
[104:00] Sure.

Speaker 2:
[104:01] Yeah, or I just won't. Fuck this guy and this movie.

Speaker 1:
[104:04] Yeah, you're not going to have time. You got stuff on.

Speaker 2:
[104:06] You don't know what I'm up to.

Speaker 1:
[104:07] That's actually true.

Speaker 2:
[104:08] Kids are back at school. I'm free all day to watch Michael Jackson movies.

Speaker 1:
[104:11] That's true, that's true. Which was your main hobby before you had kids.

Speaker 2:
[104:15] Mostly, yeah.

Speaker 1:
[104:15] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:
[104:17] But Exit 8, I am very interested. So I think somebody recommended that. Was it last week?

Speaker 1:
[104:20] It was last week, yeah.

Speaker 2:
[104:22] So I would love to see it.

Speaker 1:
[104:22] And I saw the trailer and I'm like, that's cool.

Speaker 2:
[104:24] Exit 8? I hardly know it. Thanks, everyone.

Speaker 1:
[104:29] Eggs? What are you doing? Where are you going with that?

Speaker 2:
[104:31] That's...

Speaker 1:
[104:32] Eggs.

Speaker 2:
[104:33] You don't need to make sense of my good joke.

Speaker 1:
[104:35] Exit 8.

Speaker 2:
[104:36] Make your own jokes. Make your own jokes and don't step on my jokes.

Speaker 1:
[104:40] I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to make a joke. I'll steal your joke. I'm still going to steal your joke at work tomorrow.

Speaker 2:
[104:45] This is the joke you're stealing.

Speaker 1:
[104:46] Yeah. Exit 8, I barely know what I'm going to say.

Speaker 2:
[104:49] Steal a better joke than I do if you can find one. Damn it. Thanks, everyone.

Speaker 1:
[104:53] We'll see you guys next week. Exit 8, I barely know what I'm going to say.
