Welcome back everybody to another episode of the Weekly Planet where we talk movies and comics and TV shows. My name is James, also known as Mr. Sunday, and with me as always is my co-host Nick Mason. It's great to be here, Weekly Planet, crystal clear, audio guaranteed every time. Wait a minute, Mason, because...

isn't like you wait a minute you wait a minute why should I wait a minute I mean I've been I've been you know thinking about our podcast I'm like our primary selling point is our crystal clear audience it's not the content really or the jokes or our accent

Some of it is the accent. Some of it's accents. Some of it's accents. But I've been thinking about it. I'm like, we have crystal clear audio and that's beautiful. Yeah, that's right. It's wonderful. I can see your watch to it. Hypothetically. What does that even mean? Hypothetically. Six minutes to ten. Yeah. It's light.

That's at night, everybody. That is at night. So hypothetically, there might be a bit later in the podcast because the rogue caster was taken out for a certain matrescence festival and given to a fucking stagehand. It was absconded. Someone absconded with it. Look, maybe I didn't check.

I should have fucking checked it, Mason. But who's digging deep in these settings? You had to go so deep in the settings to fix this thing. I didn't even know what I was looking for. Yeah, you were like, now it's such a road road casting. And I'm like... yep and then you were like no it's said to road podcasting and that's bad and I'm like I don't know what you're doing I don't know what it meant this is madness but you fixed it I think I fixed it and more specifically Rob Colling

That's right. Some of the upcoming audio. No, Matt Stewart's audio comes through crystal clear for some reason. Matt Stewart's audio crystal clear every time. That's a guarantee. That's the Matt Stewart guarantee. And then the backup audio kicks in. And then after what we're reading, it's all fixed. That's right. So apologies.

But also get over it and grow up. Yeah, get over it. Grow up. Grow up. God, it's good to say grow up. Agreed. Telling someone to grow up. Time codes below, though, if you want to jump to anything, including the movie we're talking about this week. A simple working fella. That's right. He's working hard, isn't he? I think they're going to, I think subsequent Statham movies, he can just be just like a working.

The tomboy. What do you think? The tomboy. He's a tomboy. So he's a girl? No. His name's Tomboy. Oh, that's great. That's great. I love that. He could be a girl, whatever. He could be a girl too. I don't care. So we're going to talk about this. Not whether I'm a girl or not. Holy shit. That's tomboy. It's tomboy. Look out. We're in the mafia. Look out. We're in the mafia. We're in the mafia. Yeah. So Rob colleagues who edits this and fix this thing.

He's put time codes below for, we're going to talk about the upcoming Zelda movie getting a release date. The huge Avengers cast announcement. Huge and long. And we're going to do it as slow as they did. Insufferable. Yeah. But also... Before we get into that, imagine the person who just sat for the whole...

Oh, a bunch of people. I'm going to cancel my entire day's plans for this because some greats can happen. Don't you think they should have put the people in the chairs? Don't you think that would have been more interesting? I think they should have just put the people and not the chairs, but they all have to sit in that awkward squatting position and then just...

And by like hour four and a half, like Ruffalo's like, I'm going to fall over. I'd hate to Ruffalo his feathers. That's right. You know what you get. Yeah, there's a bunch of stuff around that, including some other leaks and stuff from other people that are going to be in. And then we're going to talk about the original storyline for the Kang Dynasty. That's exciting. Then we've got a trailer for one battle.

After another. That's right. It's Paul Thomas Anderson. He's back. He's back. I didn't see licorice pizza. I should see that, shouldn't I? That's good. Yeah. Then we're going to talk about a bit of news with Matthew Stewart, some related to James Bond and the upcoming Blade.

Movie that we don't know. Yeah. We get into it. Get into it. With okay audio. Let's start here, though, with Zelda. Oh, just before that also, Minecraft movie this coming week. A Minecraft movie. We're going to do that next week. Novocaine, no pain. We can do both. We can do both. I've got some time. All right. That's true. You do have some time off. Very good. But Zelda.

The Sony Pictures slash Nintendo animated project hot off the heels of... Speaking of tomboys. Oh, wow, you're not wrong. That green-suited tomboy Zelda. It's, um... So this is going to be Shigeru Miyamoto and Avi Arata serving as producers. One better than the other. A dynamic duo. Yeah. It has a release date of March 26, 2027, which is a week... after Sonic 4 wow Sonic the Hedgehog 4 that is would you say that's a huge mistake For them? No, I think Zelda's going to cry.

I think it's going to do Mario. Oh, maybe not as big as Mario because would you say Zelda is as big a property as Mario? No. Probably not. It's harder to get into. Yeah, but I would say it will do very well. But then again, you know, people love the Sonic movies and these.

Jim Carrey's always thrusting around in those, isn't he? He's always thrusting around. Sometimes there's two of them. The reason I think this might be okay also, I didn't love the Mario movie we talked about when it came out, is that Wes Ball is directing. who directed the latest Planet of the Apes, a maze runner. He did other things as well.

You wish. You wish, Mason. He died. He didn't die. He's still alive. Yeah, he died. He didn't die. Yeah, he's still alive. That's what I'm telling you. He didn't die. He continues to be in Limp Bizkit to fund weird other art projects and all that weird making. Would you say he keeps rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling? I would say that he keeps rolling, rolling. Specifically, he keeps rolling, rolling, rolling.

Okay. Which is the one everybody knows. Okay. The other one's Roland Roland Urban Assault Vehicle. It's a different song. It's a different song. Yeah, yeah. Don't get them confused. I wasn't going to. I didn't think you would. Because I wasn't going to listen to either of them. I bet you will later. I might. Yeah, that's my thoughts. I got a minute. Yeah.

Let's do some very slow reveals for the Avengers Doomsday cast. Can we do five and a half hours worth for some reason? Do you think we could? No. I completely checked out of this. I'm like, this is insane and I'm not engaged.

this yeah i clicked and i saw i the the first i think the first three were revealed and everybody went nuts and i'm like oh the reveal is three cast members little did i know that it was this incredibly slow moving tracking shot across a bunch of directors chairs and i went you know what i'm gonna i'm gonna go to bed and when i wake up yeah hopefully all the night Fantastic. But also, do we need to know everybody?

Well, let's name them. Okay. And then we'll say whether or not we need to know. Okay, folks, if you don't need to know who were in the upcoming Avengers movies... this that's right if you want some surprise yeah but it's everyone

Well, this is not everybody. It's everyone, but everybody will be in the next one. Everybody will be in it, yeah. Anyone who's not, if you're surprised by the omission of any famous Marvel actor, Tom Holland, for example, is not in this initial release. Yeah, but he is in it. He's going to be in it and he's going to be in it. also there are spoilers for thunderbolts i would say there are spoilers for thunderbolts yes so bear that in mind

So we've got Chris Hemsworth as Thor. We've got Vanessa Kirby as Invisible Woman. We've got Anthony Mackie as bird Captain America. We've got Sebastian Stan as Bucky slash Winter Soldier. We've got Letitia Wright as Black Panther. We've got Paul Rudder's Ant-Man, tiny chair. Tiny chair. We've got Wyatt Russell as US agent, regular chair. Survive Thunderbolts. Yeah. Do we have to say regular chair or tiny chair from now on?

No, I think regular chair for that and then everybody can assume regular chair. Teno Cueta as Namor. Interesting because people are saying, didn't he get accused of something a few years back? Yes. Well, that's, you know, that's definitely something. I don't have, we don't know all the details of that, but I... Also, I was like, why is he in this? And it's like, oh, Invisible Woman. Okay, I get it now. Okay, they're going to fast track a potential affair.

storyline. Just really, just don't develop it over years. I forgot Namor was in this universe. Yeah, same. Yeah, cool. Ebon Moss back rack. Microchip. Microchip from the Punisher series. Correct. And his character from the bear. Correct. But nothing else. That's it. He's doing two roles. Yep. They're going to be both in the scene at the same time. Incredible.

They would get along, I think. I think they will. Hey, you want a sandwich? Yes. No, I'm busy doing Punisher stuff. Yeah. Not Punisher. Stuff for the Punisher. Stuff for the Punisher. Who's doing Punisher stuff? I'm building a gun or a gun sight or something. Yeah. Or doing a computer. I'm doing a computer. Don't look.

Simu Liu as Shang-Chi. That's a long time coming. It hasn't been around for a while. Florence Pugh as Second Black Widow. Survive Thunderbolts. That's right. Kelsey Grammer as Beast. Survive Thunderbolts. Now, do you think it's going to be Beast?

From the alternate universe where he's a... Oh, but original beast. Original beast. I think they're just going to fudge it and be like... It's both. It could be either or it doesn't really matter. Yeah, well, that's X-Men, isn't it? I had a thought today because we watched the movie A Working Man with Jason Statham. And before that, there was a preview for The Accountant 2. You said before, but go on. Yeah, I did, and I meant to do it.

To trap you. You got me. To bait you in a little trap. You got me. You got me. I'll admit when I'm beat. I know. Thank you. But The Accountant 2, and I haven't seen the first one, but this one heavily features his brother, played by John Bernthal, and The Accountant 2.

He's got autism. Is that, do they explicitly say? Oh, did you pick up on that? Did you? No, but do they explicitly say in the movie they do? And they've got, his brother is John Bernthal, who's just like a regular dude. I think they should have done it Frasier style. His brother should have had more autism than him. They should do it like it's his Niles, right? Wow. Like non-verbal autism. Yes. Okay. I think that's a good idea. Thank you. I'm surprised I didn't do it.

Who are we up to? So, well, he's not announced with all the other X-Men characters, so maybe his beast, his cartoon beast or whatever. And they're going to re-card. Yeah, I guess so. Louis Pullman is The Century. Surprise. Danny Ramirez is The Falcon. No, that's not. No, he is. He's the Falcon, isn't he? Yeah, yeah. Survived. He knew the Falcon. Survived being sad in that hospital. That's right. Joseph Quinn is Human Torch, David Harbour is Red Guardian, Winston Duke is M'Baku. Love that.

That's good. Yeah. Hannah, John, Carmen as Ghost. Survived Thunderbolts. No Taskmaster here. That's interesting. That's interesting, yeah. Also, that Taskmaster was cut out of the most recent. There's a scene in Avengers Tower and she's cut out of it. That's weird. She was in the previous version, but she's not in it.

Must have died in the movie. She must have died in the movie. And then they revealed it in the trailer. She must have died in that room. The only room she's in. The only scene she's in in that trailer. That's probably what happened. Probably what happened. Yeah. Tom Hiddleston as Loki, presumably Tree Loki. Probably Tree Loki. Patrick Shield is Professor X. Ian McKellen as Magneto. Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler. Whoa. Rebecca Romijn as Mystique. James Marsden as Cyclops. Channing Tatum as Gant.

Out of all of those, I like that James Marsden is coming back as Cyclops. That's my favourite from that. Are they going to explain how he, remember he exploded? Or he didn't explode. No, he came back or whatever. I was into that or something. They found his visor. Well, they found his visor, but then I guess the timeline was rebooted. Oh, yeah, Days of Future Past, but then it was also the future after that, but then something.

They might have fixed it. So he's fine. He's fine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He probably fell into the river. Probably. He washed up downstream and went, bloody hell. Yeah. Bloody hell. I better keep my eyes shut for a couple of years because otherwise I'll hurt someone. Yeah. So I don't know where I am for a couple of years. Yeah. And he was just, you know, working in a baker's delight. That's great. Yeah. Didn't make a call? No. Okay.

Cheesy pull-aparts, I know. I do it by feel. I can't open my eyes. Yeah, we know, Scott, because of the laser eyes. It's not a laser. It's a force from another dimension. Also, you say that, but we've never seen you do it. That's because I keep my eyes closed to protect you all. I've got to protect you all in this Baker's Delight. Yeah.

Can I make my one phone call? No, you can't. Not at Baker's Delight. This isn't the police station. Get back to work. Channing Tanning's Gambit. Yep, that's not a surprise. So I guess they're just going to fold some X-Men stuff together. Pedro Pascal is Mr. Fantastic.

I guess just because they didn't announce Beast with the other X-Men characters because the Fantastic Four weren't all named together. So, you know. And then Robert Downey Jr. is Doctor Doom. Now, Robert Downey Jr. took to social media. I think you mean Doctor Doom Little. Doctor Doom Little, that's right. He said, that's what you call a deep bench of talent. Actually, it's more like a row, but an extra long one.

That must be it, right? And Marvel Studios replied, at Robert Downey Jr. Shut up, Robert. Yeah, get back to work. Get back to work. You don't get one tweet here. It's not Baker's Delight. They said there's always room for more. Now, look, people are like, oh, THR said Tom Holland's Spider-Man's in it. Chris Evans is going to be in it as a Captain America, maybe. All the Human Torch again. They said he's expected to appear at least...

Or his character from The Loser. Well, they said the latter of him is expected to appear in at least one of the two-part movies. But then people are saying, well, where's Holt? Where's Star-Lord? Where's Daredevil? Where's Big Wheel? Where's Egg Fu? Egg Fu's a DC character, for one. What are you thinking in saying that? But Daniel Richman said Marvel Studios...

a scoop up. Marvel Studios only revealed some names for Revenge's Doomsday because they wanted a bigger reveal when filming begins. Nice. So I'm about to list a bunch of characters that may be revealed in the movie. Okay. This is extra spoilers, but just... What is this based on? Is this based on that concept art? Some of it. I don't know. He's got insider stuff. But yeah, there is a bunch of people from that concept art.

I saw an AI version of that where they live-actioned it. Okay. Does it look really good? Jesus Christ. We're just having a bad time out here, Mason. Oh, yeah. Well, this week, I don't know, people, ChatGPT developed some sort of Studio Ghibli. Oh yeah. And people went wild for that. Yep.

destroyed some rainforests. Well, good, I guess. That's good, right? That is good, yeah. The rainforests have had it too good for too long. That's right. Bring back those styrofoam containers that don't recycle, that's what I say. Chris Evans is in an undisclosed role. Oh, yeah. Hayley Atwell is Peggy Carter. Do you think it was a cheesy role? Yes. Sort of pull apart? Maybe. Do you think he works as Baker's Delight?

I don't think he does. Do you mean in real life or in this movie? Both. Well, one of those could be true. I wouldn't say both. I reckon probably in the movie, but then he'll do like a stunt thing.

He's working at a baker's delight. Oh, but that's not really working at a baker's delight. That's like when Trump worked at McDonald's. Yeah, I know. And it's like, that's not real, Mason. Yeah, I know. That's PR. Sure, it worked. We all loved it. That's right. But, you know. So you're saying you wouldn't love Chris Evans working at a baker's delight? I would love it if he had to do it for four years.

four years yes okay i would think that was okay sure it's like he's committed to it okay yeah but they've split his avengers paycheck up every fortnight he gets like 40 000 I think that, no, no, no, no. All the other stuff. He works regular Baker's Delight and he gets that wage and at the end he gets the full payout if he completes it. Okay. Yeah. All right. And he gets like a couple of, you can do six.

leave every now and then, but he has to come back and make up the days. How much unsold bread does he get at the end of the day? That's up to Chris Evans. I don't think he's eaten bread, man. Yeah, that's probably true, actually. Well, then, could he even do it? Because I'd be like, if I was in training for a Marvel role and they're like, but you get free bread at the end of every day. Yeah, it's tough. But you get $2 million. Yeah, but I get free bread every day.

Would you choose the free bread over $2 million? What about no bread, four years, $2 million at the end? That is a lot of, yeah. I could still have a run. True. Yeah. Think of how much bread you could buy with $2 million. I know, right? Yeah. Bread for bread, if you know what I mean. I do. Should we keep going? Yeah, no, we should keep going. I think I exhausted the Baker's Delight bit many minutes ago. Yeah, yeah, I remember. I was in it.

Mark Ruffalo as Hulk. Danai Gurira as Okoye. How do you say her name? I don't know. Show me the words. She's great. Show me the words on the screen. Oh, my God. The list of names are so long. I'm going to say Danai Gurira. Yeah, she's awesome. Chris Pratt as Star-Lord, Charlie Cox as Daredevil. There we go, TV character.

Benedict Wong as Wong, Iman Valani as Ms. Marvel, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Tom Holland as Spider-Man, Oscar Isaac as Moon Knight, Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie, Evangeline Lilly as the Wasp, Paul Bettany as White... Vision. How much? Just split up a two-hour movie over the number of stars here. How much screen time?

Because I am assuming they all get a minute each and then it just cuts to the next character. They're not in scenes together. I don't think so. I think maybe a bunch will get a play in the first and then in the second. It's like Infinity War.

Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie. Evangeline Lilly. I said that. Tatiana Maslany as She-Hulk. Don Cheadle as War Machine. Brie Larson as Captain Marvel. She's got some nerve being in a Marvel movie. She's great. I like her. Olga Kurulinka. Kurulinka was Taskmaster. What? no there's no well if there's a universe reset and they all end up in battle planet or whatever yeah no I don't I think this

This has thrown this whole thing into- Yeah, dubious, right? It's made it very, very dubious. Dubious. They've just- What they've done is they've put the names into chat GPT. Yeah. And they've said, hey, chat GPT, what are the Marvel characters they haven't mentioned here? And it's just spit all these names out. This is a lot. Because what is the... Who is desperately waiting? for Taskmaster to be brought back.

In one of the Avengers sequels. Nobody in the world. Nobody in the world. Nobody in the world. Yeah. Dominic Thorne as Ironheart, Samuel Lark Jackson as Nick Fury, Hayley Steinfeld as Kate Bishop. Again, a bunch of these have been in the concept art. Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch, Dakota Johnson as Madame Webb.

Yeah, okay, come on. I have been tricked here, Mason. You've been tricked here? Yeah. But is this Daniel Richtman? I don't know. More like Daniel Richtman. Actually, because you said that, because looking at that article...

He said more people will be revealed and then there was a paragraph break and then there was this list. Like Daniel tricked a man and that man was Mr. Sunday Movie. I'll stop there, but it's all Marvel characters. Yeah, every Marvel character. But I do think, though, there will be reveals of... characters as they're filming. As they even said they would. And there'll be one almost on the scale of the Red Skull, i.e. a character you've based on.

yeah like ah it's the guy oh it's red skull yeah it's red skull again yes i'm on this planet too yes yes yes i work at baker's delight Whoa! Yeah. Opposing Baker's Delights. No. Probably one in the shopping centre and one down the street. I guess, okay, I'll allow it. Yeah, that's right. Anyway, this is out May 1st, 2026.

So it's just started to film now. Maybe they'll get it done. Maybe. And they are filming back to back as well. There you go. Well, I say, hey, Marvel, get her done. Do you, how jazzed do you? I'm pretty jazzed. What's the most exciting thing from this? Of the real ones. Mine's M'Baku and I like James Madison coming. Yeah. I like Winston Duke. Why is he in more movies?

Maybe he is. Maybe we're just, you know. I'm not in the Winston Dukes field. Maybe he's in like good movies. Yeah. Would you watch a movie called Winston Dukes of Hazzard? Yes. Okay. Yep. What about, so yeah. Anyway, you excited for this? Yes. Great. Next bit of news is by the Cosmic Circus.

Alex Perez over there says, this is the original plan for the Avengers Kang Dynasty, the movie that was scrapped due to various allegations in regards... to Jonathan Majors, whose magazine, Dreams Movie, recently came out and also bombed. Oh, yeah. Just got straight out and then went. So apparently there's going to be separate Avengers teams setting out to battle Immortus, Centurion, and Ramatut. Okay, as from the post-credits sequence in something from the Airman 3. Quantumania, that's right.

The Concord variant was going to return from the beyond in the third act to take revenge against his doppelgangers and become he who will remain. Also, they dealt with all of that in Loki. That's true. So they closed that door anyway. Doctor Doom was also apparently never part of Marvel Studios' original plan.

Doom and other villains were to be removed from the timeline by Kang so he could thrive. However, once the variants had been defeated, Doom was teased as the evil they were trying to keep at bay. I see, okay. Interesting. So if this is to be believed, then Marvel have had to sort of put...

put everything on fast forward. Well, yeah. Alex Perez says, now you're getting the aftermath of what would have basically been the next saga, but with Doom at the forefront instead of Kang mixing with a couple of ideas from previous scripts. Okay. So, yeah. I mean, they say that, but I mean, how much of these movies have really built up?

Well, the Russo brothers are talking about these as the last Avengers movies that were an ending. And these are actually a beginning. Okay. Which is an interesting way to look at. An enormous team-up movie with everybody in it. It's true. Even people who died in previous movies. Yeah. Yeah, Thunderbolts. Yes. And Adam Webb. Yes, correct. And Adam Webb is in it. Maybe it's right. That would be a surprise on the level of the Red Skull, honestly, if Madame Webb was just there. Or Inhuman.

Or the Eternals. Notice who's not in that list. Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, that's a good point, Mason. Trailers ahoy! Sorry I couldn't be here to fight Thanos. Now I'm here. Oh, that guy. Jon Snow. Now I'm here to fight... Dr. Doom. I got a sword. I brought me sword. It's magic. Oh, God. I brought my sword. I don't want to be main, but it's not...

You don't even do swords. You found that sword recently. I mean, I could do stuff with swords. Mate. Mate. This is a new character, just the voice of reason in a Marvel movie. He's at the door and there's like, you know, the universe is coming apart in the distance and he just vets everybody. He's a bouncer and he's just like, nah, nah, mate, come on. No. Punish him.

No. What's he got a gun? Yeah, but he could get some stuff. He'll adapt. He goes cosmic. He's mates with Dr. Strange. Hey man, I could get some stuff. I guess you could get some stuff. Yeah. Name a stuff you could get. Big laser. I mean, that is true. You could get a big laser. A big laser. Black Knight, could you get a big laser? Well, I've got this sword. Probably not. I don't think I'd need a big one. Off you go. Come on. Come on, mate.

And or season two got another trailer. That's our bonus content for the week in BigSandwich.co. You better believe it. We're just going to go through the list of people who are going to be in this movie and whether the bounce would be. Correct. And we also looked at Star Wars Devil World.

which is the only Star Wars comic that's written by Alan Moore. That's real. Bigsandwich.co if you are interested. I enjoyed that a lot. Anyway, the boat's here again. Honk. I don't know if you heard. Yeah, great, great. End of Season 2 looks great. Ben Mendo's in it more. There's some choking. Maybe we're going to get a Darth Vader or whatever. Maybe it's just somebody choking. Maybe. Disney emailed me, as they sometimes do, and they're like,

If you write us an email, you can get all episodes. We'll send them to you. And like, if you, I'm getting better. And I'm like, you know what? Oh, you have to apply for it. Yeah, I'm like, I'm just not going. What's in the email? What do you have to put in the email? I don't know. I'm just going to, I'll get chat to you a bit later on.

And you'd have to watch it on a laptop or whatever. Exactly. And I'd have my name across it. And I'll leak it to everybody. That's true. I'll go to jail. And I don't want that. You said you were going to have a backyard viewing party. We're going to put it on a big projector in your backyard. And let everybody film it on their phones. That's right. That's right. You said must be BYO phone for recording is what you said. Please do. That's right. I insist.

But also, I would just watch it all. I don't want to do that. I'm going to watch it in the burst that they're doing. So there's that. There was a trailer for Doctor Who for the new season. I really like this new Doctor Who, and this time he gets animated, among other things. That's true, he does. And maybe he meets an ancient race and you never even knew they were there.

It's so true, yeah. But they're a big galaxy threat. Yeah, absolutely. He doesn't like that. They were there before the galaxy started or something or under it or behind it or something. And they're like, but now we're here in the regular universe, you know? Are you scared? No, I'll just believe in myself. All right.

We've seen how this goes mostly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've been watching. Ultimately, we probably will be defeated. We've been watching Under the Rug, which is the galaxy from Under the Rug. Yeah, so we'll just go back Under the Rug. Yeah. We're the rug makers. That's what they call us. And they made the rug. And we made the rug. But the one I want to talk about is One Battle After Another, which is Paul Thomas Anderson's latest movie. That's right. The synopsis of this, it is based on a book.

But it's when their evil enemy resurfaces after 16 years, a group of ex-revolutionaries reunites to rescue one of their own dogs. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Benicio del Toro, et cetera, and so forth. I... Yeah, good, great. So this is based on Vineland, which is a Thomas Pynchon novel. That's the novel, yeah. This is not the first Paul Thomas Anderson, Thomas Pynchon adaptation. He also adapted Inherent Vice. Mason, you pinch him on off right now.

Are you pulling my leg? Sorry. No. That's true, right? What's the other one he did? Inherent Vice. Oh! I've never been able to finish it. I've tried watching it twice. No good? I don't know. I like his work generally. I've just never... I just got an AI video on Facebook of a guy standing next to a giant crab and then they roll and they form into a crab.

What do you think about that? Can I see it? It just disappeared. It just got lost in my feed. Wow. Yeah. Like tears in rain. Exactly. That sounds beautiful actually. Like crabs in the... So go on then. Yes. So you were saying something. I don't know. I have full faith in this. It looks really fun. But you didn't like that other one. I can just never finish Inherent Vice. I don't know. There's something about it. It's got... Why can't Phoenix?

Oh, that one. Okay. Yeah, yeah. I know that one. Oh, Mason, I'm starting. I'm getting your goddamn AI slop now. A dude is really old. He's 259 years old. And he's... Yeah. God, no. Mm-hmm. Anyway. Have we talked about this? Yeah, almost certainly. Okay, sorry. Paul Thomas Anderson, for people who don't remember, Licorice Pizza, Phantom Thread, which I enjoy a lot. Yep. Inherent Vice, can't finish it. The Master's great, There Will Be Blood, of course, Punch Drunk Love.

I'm sure a lot of people who listen to this have seen that. Absolutely. An Adam Sandler kind of dramatic masterpiece. Yeah, oh yeah. Magnolia, Boogie Nights, and Heartache, which I always attribute to. A different guy. Paul Schrader. But it wasn't him. But it wasn't. It was him. Yeah. Apparently this needs $260 million to break even according to Variety. Anderson's highest grossing release is 2007's There Will Be Blood which earned $76 million worldwide.

It's probably not going to make its money back, but it doesn't matter to me. Yeah. If it's good, I don't care. And he'll probably get to keep making movies because he makes good movies. Yeah. Somebody pointed this out on Twitter earlier in the week. A lot of prevalence, prevalence a lot of these recently, like a lot of articles about like this. This movie needs $300 million to break even. Do you think it's some kind of studio kind of...

Maybe. Someone also pointed out that all, like, the major rags... So they stop making good movies and make crap? Yeah, they make slop, yeah. Like, all the majors, like... entertainment rags are all in both the same company like variety and all that is interesting yeah i don't know maybe it's like yeah i don't i it's it seems to be it's vaguely sinister i know we talk about it as well yeah but like it they really i find it's more interesting in regards to like

Maybe a Disney movie we're talking about later that costs $40 million or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But like this, you know. Doesn't seem crazy. You know, it's got Leonardo DiCaprio. He ain't cheap. It seems to be like a larger scale than a lot of the other stuff. Yeah. I think it's got a good shot as any kind of, I don't know, a good movie that isn't. A secret or whatever. Yeah, for sure. I don't know. We'll see. September 26th. Uh-huh.

Acast recommends. Hi, I'm Kay Adams and I'm trying to work out how to be 60. I'm still not sure how I got here

60 can be scary in a good way. It's terrifying, but it's also really exciting. I think my life's going to begin at 60. This is, for me, how to be 60. Wear what you want to wear and let them judge you. Join me, Kay Adams, and some well-known fellow sexagenarians as we discover how to be 60.

Go on. I know, Matt Stewart's here. Hey, can I ask your audience? I don't know if they can't respond. This isn't live, is it, this one? Not this one, no. so i arrived and james offered me a beer yep and then as we entered the studio i realized that you two are drinking soft drinks so that's like when i i think generally when i'm offered a beer at a house

normally at least one of the other people's drinking a beer and I'm like you know don't want to be rude I'll have a beer but somehow I've been set up to be I don't understand this prank but you've got me yeah we thought I thought That's what you do. We're filming this for a documentary and later there's going to be us talking heads going, we offered him a soft drink, but he used a beer out of his own pocket and he started drinking. I think that man has a problem.

Anyway, thanks for the beer. I apologise. No, no, it's very nice. There's more beer if you want another beer. I won't be having a beer. Okay, well, that's... Now it's on me if I accept the next beer. James' kids are drinking beers. Okay. Yeah, that's right. Well, yeah, I'll have one with them. Beer before bed, yeah. You don't wake up dead. What? What is this? Something like that. So this is my deadline. So the new 007 movies. I don't know if you've heard this, but it's getting a big reboot.

For a number of reasons. The most recent one being that they sold everything to Amazon. Yeah, it's very strange. Yeah. I don't know. It feels weird. It does feel weird. It's really strange. Correct. And also, are you allowed to say how the last one ended? Yeah, absolutely. At this point, we kept it under wraps for a while, but he exploded. Yeah. So that, yeah, I guess they're going to do something. But I mean, they're always rebooting, kind of. Happens all the time. Well, every 15 to 20.

Yeah, you're absolutely right. And sometimes an old one comes back and he's real old. Yeah. And that's fun. But, you know, it ran its course and they were going to reboot it anyway, but now it's over at Amazon. And now it's got a couple of producers. One of them is Amy Pascal who works at Sony.

She did all the Spider-Man stuff. Well, not so much anymore. She was involved in the Sony leak. Remember that Sony email hack? Yeah. And a bunch of crook stuff came out. And so she got let go and she's kind of doing her own thing. Just been wandering around for a decade. Yeah. I love how the consequences are only for a bit. Yeah, absolutely. You got money, it doesn't matter. But she also worked on Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, and Skyfall, so she's not unknown to that.

And also another guy called David Hayman. Come on, man. That is so good. He's worked on all the Harry Potter movies, even the three prequels that came out. I don't know if you saw those. That's not the first one. Et cetera. Yeah. Yeah. You stopped at the right point. Okay. Yeah. Well done. So what you're suggesting is they're going to combine. Spider power. Magic spy. That's cool. That is cool. Spy school.

Spy school. Licence to wand. And learn. Licence to wand and learn. Yeah, that sounds really good. So you were saying that, you know, the finale of the last one is that he exploded. Yeah. years ago when that happened I'm like well that's Daniel Craig wanted a definitive ending and I thought to myself in the most like ludicrous You just say, in the next one, you just say that he didn't actually die, but he was just...

you know, horribly maimed or whatever. And they gave him plastic surgery and then he's the next... He looks like Benedict Cumberbatch or whatever. He's the next Bond. And at the time I'm like, well that's... They're obviously not going to do that. That's so stupid as a concept. But now it's not in their hands anymore. Yeah. So it could be. It could happen. Is that more of an Amazon vibe, do you think? Yeah, they did that on the Terminal.

Did they? No, I don't know. Yeah, they might have. I mean, Amazon's not, they have made good stuff. They've made good stuff. And they also have made bad stuff, like all of it. Very unique as a billionaire. Absolutely, yeah. We like him here. So yeah, look, I don't think this is good or bad news. It's just kind of where it's at. Could you have an opinion?

We've got a guest here. This all sucks and I wish the Weird Broccoli family still owned it. Oh, right. Because, you know, it was one of the only kind of IPs where like... It wasn't owned by a big conglomerate. An IP that people actually are interested in. It's so funny that it was like a family-owned business. Yeah, isn't it just? It's really weird. And now there's going to be like...

Probably streaming shows and Moneypenny spinoffs and Little James Bond Adventures. I assume, what if James Bond... John's parents, what are they like? Young Q. Young Q, exactly. I mean Q was young, but what if he was even younger? Okay, young M. I forget which that is which. I can imagine the pitch. Young Q. Well, he is young. Okay, young M. Whatever. Jesus.

Pick one of them when it's younger. Just give us the money. God. I don't know. I think, but Bond is a mixed bag and always has been and will continue to be, which is what I've said before. Matt, what's your favourite Bond? What's your favourite Bond? Do you mean man or the movie? I don't know. I mean, just through stupid blind patriotism, I have to go ladies and gentlemen. And I've not seen that one. But I like it because everyone hates it.

you know I love it and I'm like oh no it can't be that bad give it a chance yeah come on I mean I haven't but it's I watched it as a kid and of course everybody has made fun of it over the years and here So I watched it recently and I'm like, this holds up actually. Action's pretty good. He's not great though, is he?

Well, he is now. He is now. Yeah, he was like a model. Yeah. He got plucked out from obscurity kind of thing. Yeah, he kind of... I think he literally did one of those things which is such a boomer thing. Like, he burst into the... I just walked down the street in Hollywood and I handed a resume to the managers of all the movie studios and they said I like your gumption start on Monday. Real bond energy, isn't it? Just being, yeah, not secretive, very out in the open.

I think I definitely grew up with the Brosnan ones. Yeah, absolutely. And so that's what I thought Bond was for ages. But then, yeah, the Daniel Craig ones have been good. They have, but some of them are good. And, look, I've been... And then, you know, Sean Connery was Bond. He was Bond. That is undeniable. Undeniable. I mean, he played...

And don't forget Roger Moore was one of the Bonds. Oh, okay. Interesting, yeah. A lot take. Interesting, but all right. Yeah. Cool. Is that all the Bonds there? Timothy Dalton. Timothy Dalton, my favourite Bond. Weird, yeah. I would say that was a countdown. Yeah, right. We ended with my number one. This one, this last bit of news is via The Insnider. Now, there's been rumours this week, or last week I should say, that Blade, the movie.

but it did happen well yeah sorry they made three Blade movies in a TV series with Wesley Snipes and then he came back in Deadpool and Wolverine more recently so that's exciting And so they announced this Blade movie in like 2019 and they got Mahershala Ali and they're like, wow. And it's got an incredible... Won an Oscar. Won an Oscar.

it's just maybe okay but and it's just been spinning not happening if you like I haven't seen that guy in a movie in a long time yeah because he seems to have been locked into this he's trapped in oh that's weird yeah yeah yeah it really does feel like such a Funny old business. It's a town, you know? La La Land. A lot of stuff going on there. There's so many stories of a thing that's...

It comes out 30 years later, you know, with the original cast, they're all dead now. And then, you know, their children are like, it's so odd. Yeah, it really is. The name's different. Nearly nothing about it remains, but it's the same project. Yeah, absolutely. Happens all the time. Scripts go into the, what's that, the blacklist? What's that? No, that's not right. The blacklist is the list of really good scripts. Yes, that's the one I mean. That's what I mean, yeah.

unmade projects this doesn't have a script no it's been through I didn't bother to list them I have before like all the different directors and etc that it's going through so there was rumours this week that it's cancelled but now it's Ian Snyder Jeff Snyder is saying that He's a scooper. He's a scooper guy. He scoops all the scoops. Yeah, probably too much. I don't know. Chad Stahowski, who directed, or co-directed at least, all of the John Wick movies. And look, Blade is known for its action.

He's running about. Yeah, that feels like a good... Good combo, yeah. Yeah, if this is true. I would have thought Blade would be a pretty sure hit. That's interesting to say that, mate. That's interesting to say that, mate, because that's exactly what everybody's been saying. Yeah, right. And it's a, you know. normal people are like yeah he's a cool dude and he fights vampires surely you write a script where he fights a bunch of vampires but they can't do that

The first one's really good though, so maybe they just like... First two are good. Maybe they just start writing the script and they go, there's a room and it's full of people in a nightclub and then blood comes out of the... The fire extinguisher. Oh, I've just written Blade 1 again. Yeah. It was too good. I just keep going back to Blade 1. For the listeners, May so fully acted that out. His eyes were closed. He was bombing a pan and pad.

It was there. So, look, I heard this, and I don't know whether it's true from a guy who seems to be in the know that Mahershala Ali, because he came on as an Oscar winner, he has final say. I heard that. I don't...

know whether that's I would say that's probably true and that's one of the reasons because every script is like this isn't good enough which I don't think is a bad thing he's allowed to be like this sucks and I don't want to do it he wants to do it and there was one point it was going to be a period piece I think set in like the 20s or the 50s a ton it's not now and so that's jumped around and so I and now he's 51 so it's kind of like

That's just one weakness. A lot of the evil vampires are just waiting for him to die. They're just like, we'll just weigh you out, Blade. We'll weigh you out for 150 years. That's no time for them. No, they don't care, man. Jeez. Take a nap. I don't mind the idea of a 1920s. That sounds fun. I agree. Well, Blade started... What was his origin initially? He was a disco collar guy. We know that. He's from the 70s. He's also British. Yeah.

Yeah, that was the change for... Was it the cartoon that changed the first of all the movies? I can't remember. Anyway, it doesn't matter. But yeah, he didn't always have all the vampire powers. He got bitten by Dr. Michael Morbius, who was played by Jared Leto in the Morbius movie. Oh, Morbentime. Yeah, it's Morbentime, thank you. And that's how we got... This guy knows his stuff. This guy's good. We thought we were going to make a fool of you, but we're just going to do a bunch of references.

But anyway, so, anyway, Blade. Is it happening? No, I would say. We just, yeah, it'll, surely, it'll. They've just got to wait out for someone to die. Yeah. What a good scam though, right? You've got final say. You don't really want to work. Maybe he's got those pay or play contracts where they've paid him already. Yeah. And they're like...

If this gets cancelled and it's out of my hands, I just take the money out of it. Yeah, absolutely. That's a good deal. That's an Oscar-winning deal right there. You should get the Oscar for that, another Oscar for that. But what about this? Youngblade. Youngblade? Let me finish.

School. Oh. Yeah. Young Blade School. I like it. Yeah, it's good, isn't it? I don't know, man. Oh, okay. Whatever, just give me the money. Doesn't matter. Okay, I like this. I think this could be really good. Thank you. Would that be like a cleat? Sure, yeah. I'm just not saying that quite right, am I? What are you saying? Click, clicks. Click, clicks. Is that like clicks? Yeah, it's like clicks.

I added a little summon to it. Oh, okay. I took it up from cliques to cliques. I always think this should be pronounced cliques as well, because it's like, otherwise it's... just clicks clicks yeah okay yeah where's the queue isn't there an um loud in it or something yeah you're probably right the school would have instead of like the nerds and the jocks and whatever it'd be different types of

Yeah, okay. It's going to be like the Nosferatu weird looking vampires. Twilight-y vampires. Twilight-y vampires, et cetera. Yeah, I like that a lot, actually. The goth vampires. That's how goth they'd be. Yeah, very goth. Double goth. I'll knock off the knife. Yeah, true. Yeah, their version of goths wear Hawaiian shirts and straw hats. Zinc on their nose. It's counterculture, I get it.

Alright, we've got to talk about... Well, first of all, again, to mention your show Bad Boy, we'll talk about it at the end. It's linked below. Check it out. Melbourne International Comedy Festival running between the 8th to the 20th of April at the Spleen Bar. But look, in the tradition of the beekeeper and the mechanic and the mechanic, but again, comes a working man. Or as I like to think of it, Jason Statham does a take-

But also he kind of gets distracted along the way. And he does a bunch of side quests. for sure yeah now Matt um This is by... I don't know if you've seen The Beatkeeper. Have you seen The Beatkeeper? I think I have, but I couldn't tell you. Was it like a really Statham-y film? Oh, big time, yeah. He was a... beekeeper same director by the way David Ayer yeah David Ayer so he he was a beekeeper but he was secretly part of a

special forces military operation called the beekeepers. Yeah. Who kept the bees, which was society. Was it a coincidence? It seemed to be. They don't say. Because none of the others were beekeepers. No, it was just him. He was the only one who took the metaphor, literally, to keep some bees.

I don't think I haven't seen it. That sounds so good. Anyway, I think it's better than this, I would say. I can't believe I haven't seen it. And what happens is he's a beekeeper at like a nice old lady's house. And then she uses all money in a crypto scam. So he goes and he kills everybody, including the president. Yeah.

Wow. He works his way up to the president, or the president's son or something. Yeah, it's pretty cool. This sounds awesome. So it's American as well? Correct, yeah. He's always an Englishman. He's American, I think, in this, but he's American in the Bay Caper, but he...

He's just another Jason Statham accent. Yeah, they explained like he spent time in whatever, I think. I don't remember. He spends time in a beehive, and now he's got this accent. I kind of think they should do that for everyone. Why don't they make anyone do accents? I completely agree. It's like they went to school.

in the country they're from. Yeah. That's fine. It takes a sentence every time. Yeah. Why is Benedict Cumberbatch running around with an American accent as Doctor Strange? We don't like that. He's a wizard. It doesn't matter. He's a fucking wizard. Apparently they hired him. because they were like, oh, Doctor Strange seems a bit British.

We'll get Benedict Cumberbatch. He's got that nice accent. And then Benedict Cumberbatch was like, well, he's born in America, so I better be like, howdy. Hello. I'm Dr. Street. One New York pizza. please. Whoa, you guys are both really good at that. I've had to do a few auditions with American accents and it's hard. Yeah. You two made that. I'll know where to come. Do you do a bit of coaching? Yeah, absolutely.

I did not get the parts. We've never got one, but you can do it. But yeah, so David A directed that with Jason Statham. He also directed Suicide Squad, the original Suicide Squad. The less good one. The less good one. But allegedly there is a better version of it.

better than you can possibly imagine David A is always like I've got a copy of this one day is there a hashtag oh yeah save the air cup or something it's not really it didn't get the traction that the Justice League one did I would say majority of people don't kill Did you say that's accurate? Yes. Yeah. There's been a whole other film and it's... Exactly. The universe has rebooted. Yeah. Spin-off TV shows. That's right. Picsmaker. Back to the sky.

This guy is coming in. I really like that one. It's good, right? Yeah, season two this year. We don't know. We don't know, man. Something to look forward to. You know, I would not have known about any of these things if it wasn't for this podcast. Damn, that's so kind. He didn't say good. No, no, I didn't grow up on comics or anything. Yeah, yeah. I missed out on all of that. You seem like a...

No, I didn't think of Sammy J. Garfield? Is he? Yeah, he's a big... He did a job at the Phantom. Did he? Yeah. He was obsessed. Yeah. He's got a crazy true story about a guy who was the gardener at his school and he thought he got him fired, but then the guy turned out to be Reacher.

What are you talking about? The guy that Sammy J went to high school and he was obsessed with the Phantom, the comic book character, the Phantom. And the gardener of his school was also obsessed with the Phantom. They became friends. And then there was like a prank gone wrong or something, and the gardener left. and he assumed that he'd gotten him fired, but he hadn't. But this guy then went on to become a model, and he became like the character model for Reach.

Oh, I thought you meant like the actor. I was like, what are you, the hell? Yeah, he was like on the book covers. Really? Yeah, he could show up to live events and things. That's wild. He looks like the actor who plays Reacher. Yeah. Much more than Tom Cruise did, which is why that girl was so annoyed, right? Yeah. The guy who came up with Reacher. Yeah. Mr. Reacher. He's Lee Charles, but it's not his real name. Great. Well, speaking of, this is actually based on a book.

But before we get to that, had a budget of $40 million. On the box office return on this was 15 minutes. That's just behind what the beekeeper made, and it also beat Snow White for number one spot in the box office. Really? Big, big, big move. Yeah. the big 200 something million I will talk about it in what we're reading because I've seen that movie and I've got opinions okay yeah so this is based on the Chuck Dixon book series about a retired counter-terrorism agent turned construction worker

Mason, what do you think the story was? By the way, his name's Levon Cade. Go on. Is it? Yep. But we're not going to call him that. Absolutely. So, Jason Statham. Yep. He was in the Royal Marines and then he stopped being in the Royal Marines because he'd done too much heroism. Yeah, he did. And he'd rescued too many people and he'd killed too many bad guys. So he's like, I'll be changing my life.

I'm going to be just to be a normal guy in America and I'm going to be friends with all the working men. I'm going to be a working man. I'm going to work construction. I'm going to be friends with Michael Pena and his wife and their daughter. What if she did? I better go back to my old ways of being a true hero. He doesn't want to because he's his daughter. I'm not that man anymore. He has to ask David Harper who's like, yeah, whatever.

he wasted a day there they always say you have to with these missing person cases every minute counts he goes for a trip to the country to ask David Harbour's permission and David because he's like David Harbour you're blind because I rescued you from an accident. You were looking at the sun for too long and I could have stopped you but I didn't.

And David Harper's like, yeah, I would have died. Yeah, you should save that. What are you doing here? This could have been a phone call, man. What are you doing? Anyway, 24 hours is gone. She could be anywhere by now. This is also written by... David Ayer, director, and Sylvester Stallone. Correct. And co-produced by Sylvester Stallone, and it's basically Rambo Last Blood again. Except they've added... That's a worse movie, though. Yeah, it is a much worse movie. Rambo Last Blood.

he's left his Ramboing behind and he lives with a family and the family's daughter gets human traffic and he's like, I'm going to go to Mexico to get her. And they beat him up. And then they beat him up and then he gets the daughter back but then she dies but then he goes...

Back to his place and he home-alones all the bad guys because they shut his house. Really? He lives in a cave system under his farm. This is the same, except they've added that he's got a daughter of his own. Yeah, and he doesn't. The girl... Dies pretty early on in Rambo as well. But in this they've gone... What if there were two daughters to deal with? Yeah.

It's mostly fine. Yeah, it's alright. This has got a lot of extra stuff in it, I feel. It's meandering. Yeah, it's not... They need to streamline this. you know what I mean like Taken's like it's tight yeah we just well we recently watched for Carabiner Garbage we watched Punisher Warzone which is similarly kind of like you know, revenge-y kind of flick. And it's just so, it's quick as a whip. Yeah. But this one, you hit the nail on the head where you're like, he takes a day to go.

to this guy's house and be like, do you think I should do this? Yeah. and there's a scene in this in a biker bar and then days later he goes back to the biker bar again and it's like you could have done all your biker bar business the first time I also kind of lost track of like After again? What's the... Oh, he's doing... Should I get in this game? You have to buy two different lots of men? He's buying men!

What are we doing again? It felt like he forgot. He got distracted. That would be a funny film he ends up dealing meth. What was I doing again? Oh, the rescuing the daughter thing. I like how meth now in media is blue. Yeah. It's just the universal colour of meth. I want a heavy bit of weight. Or whatever he says. But basically the daughter, not his daughter.

But the teenage daughter of his friends, she goes out clubbing with the girls. And then a human trafficker sees her and is like, I'm going to human traffic this woman to somebody. And then so... So Statham has to get the person who was doing the human trafficking, because that's ages. But that's ages towards the end of the movie. But then he's also got to get the bartender and there are like a couple of different hired thugs and there's a biker gang who are really loyal to this.

somebody and then there's uh then there's the Russian mafia there and there's like the Russian mafia and there's a Russian mafia guy but also his dad is involved and somebody else's dad oh speaking of family it's also Jason Statham and Jason Fleming who were couple of pals in Lockstock yes that's right and he was also he wore a very similar coat in Pennyworth oh yeah that's right

What a world. I reckon there was a few nods to the Batman universe in this. Don't you reckon the pedophile was the penguin?

With his pipe. Oh, yeah, okay. Yeah, he was a fancy. There was a moment where he literally had, like, a top hat. He fully looked like he was meant to, like, make him look kind of like the penguin. If I had that, Matt, you were like... the sentence I was thinking you were going to say you were like there's a lot of nods to the Batman universe you know like the pedophile and I'm like um oh Matt

I don't know, man. I mean, probably. Yeah. Somewhere in there. I mean, Gotham, you know, is getting pretty bad out there. Yeah. Batman, not year one. What's that weird universe? Earth One. Statham is good. I saw an interview recently where he's like, yeah, I kind of just do this one thing. But I think he's very good at it. I think he's very believable. He started his career as an Olympic diver and a model.

You've got to love it, Matt. All right. Chat GPG. Draw me an image of Jason Statham with hair. And that was when he was diving. Look up Olympic diving. Yeah, so he started there and then, yeah, he worked as a... model and among other things. Lockstock was his first role, but he wasn't this kind of unstoppable action guy initially. He was more the mouth guy in Lockstock. Yeah, exactly. He got jacked. And then he just started doing this, which, you know, I think he's, I think also like.

The bank job's great. What other action movies? What's that comedy one that he did? Spy? Yeah, Spy. He's really funny in Spy. I like Death Race. I don't know if anybody else does, but I like it. We like the beekeeper. We do like the beekeeper. He looks great. I mean, he looks great with and without hair.

But he had to choose. He's an inspiration for men without hair, though. He's not an inspiration for men with hair. I mean, if you say that, people are like, well, I don't look like Jason Statham, so what do you say to that? Get better looking, idiot. That's such a good point.

Damn. What about, what was the one after Lockstock? That was good. Snatch. Snatch. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's great. Statham. Has he made a bad film? Yes. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's a ridiculous thing to say. A working man? Working bad? Yeah, I do think that they... He made some Uwe Boll movies. I don't know if you know who that is, but that's bad. Okay, I do not know who that is, but...

It's a great name. Dude, I did not know this was a movie until you messaged me the other day saying what we're going to talk about. While you were watching it. It's a movie. I literally got into bed and got on a Just Watch and said, where to stream A Working Man? And it said, quit cinemas. And I went, oh shit. And I looked it up. I was literally in bed. And it was starting in 10 minutes. And I just jumped out and went and...

No, this was a couple nights ago. It was my last chance to see it. So I'm like, tonight, in bed, watching a bit of statement. You could have watched any of them. You could have watched the movie, but we wouldn't have known. But do you think, like him... having to go through it all is probably is that more accurate to what it would actually be like like you would be following this really long and not everything goes somewhere I got the sense yeah like the

David Ayer is about like when he does an action movie that's not like a superhero one. There are a lot of lines. extraneous characters and I guess yeah you would I guess it's less it'd be less realistic if it was just like okay there's the bad guy

and there's the henchman, and the henchman kidnapped the girl, and he's just got to get the henchman and the boss, and that's it. You know what I mean? So I guess there would be... You'd have to jump through some hoops and some dead ends, but at the same time, I'm like, there's a lot of... Did you need the...

make a deal with the biker gang guy? Because he has to go to a bar and he has to pretend he's a meth dealer and he wants a supply of meth so he goes to the biker guy and the guy's like... prove it prove it and then he has to beat up a bunch of guys and then the guy's like I respect that you beat up all my men you're the army I'm the army yeah that was that was so funny how he like fully respected that other army guy even knowing that He's a key cog in this pedophile ring. He's still like...

Hey, rest in peace, brother. Sorry to do this to you. I honestly thought that he... He might have changed sides. Yeah, he was going to change sides or he was like, I want to kill this guy. But, you know, he did kill everybody else. I think also, I think the action is really solid in this, but I don't feel like he was vulnerable at any point. No. I was never like...

Oh yeah, that was the time. It seemed alright though. Oh, the cops? Didn't mind that element of it. You know what I mean? The cops being there. Yeah, not true to life though, because they were bad. That's so true. And all cops are good and we all know that. That's our acronym. A-C-A-G-A-W-A-K-T. Correct. And we all know that. I don't know. I just think, though, it's an hour 56.

And I was just like, it got to a point where I'm like, Underworld, and who's he talking to? And he killed the main guy, but that was, he's got a brother. He's still going to kill the brother. He's got a nephew. And then there's two tracksuit dudes running around with hats on. Also, the parents that he promised, they just disappear. Like, for like most of the movie. Yeah, most of the name actors. Yeah.

it starts and the credits coming up you're like oh David Harbour's in this you're like oh they're not in it for much at all no well David Harbour's in Suicide Squad yeah so I assume that they're friends right him and David A but I don't know and again there is that side plot about

He's estranged from his daughter and he has to be a good dad. Jesus, the father-in-law does not like him at all. He's not liking him at all. And he's doing weird parties to taunt Jason's... Grandad. Yeah, sorry, yeah. Grandad. Yeah, so he's white. Oh, he's the father-in-law. Matt is correct. Yes. But, yeah, and so there's also this element... We're sort of going to spoilers here, I think, but... Let's do some... Should we do some... I'm going to say, look...

I didn't feel my time was totally wasted. I'm going to say Best Movie Ever. I'll say that. Matt, you can say whatever you want. I would also say Best Movie Ever. I had a great time. It was a real surprise cinema routing. Yeah. It felt like a movie that would normally be seen on a laptop, but it's great to see it. Great to see it on a...

Or on the, you know, on the back of an aeroplane chair. But it was great to be at the cinemas. You showed up in the... Had a big popcorn. In your nightgown with your... You had one of those candle holders. Exactly, that's right. And you're like, sorry, sorry, I'm late. But yeah, so there's obviously he's got to rescue the daughter of his friends. But he's also got his own daughter who's a little girl. And there's

Like a kidnapping of her? Yeah. He really, like we've talked about how it's sort of meandering, there's quite a bit of time where he gives the bad guys like a fake ID that he knows they can kind of track his real identity. And then he's like, I should probably go and see what my daughter's up to. Like, he gets a call from the school and is like... oh, your father-in-law hasn't shown up to pick up your daughter is that normal and he's like well I'll come and pick her up I guess

There's no urgency to that at all. It's so weird of like... Yeah, he didn't seem like he clicked it. Oh, I wonder if that's connected. The father-in-law, he's normally picking her up. It's weird that he's not. As a Royal Marine Special Forces guy, I reckon I'd be like, I'm going to go to war with... the mafia and a biker gang and some psychopaths and that pedophile. I reckon I would probably put my daughter in.

secure location. Yes. Before that, not get halfway into it. As soon as, because he knew, because as soon as he killed some Russians, he's like, oh, fuck, this is Russian. Like, that's the point where you go, all right. I'm going to send my daughter to David Harbour and his mute wife. Yeah, so they don't give her a line until the end. It was really strange. Well, he's blind, she's mute, I assume. Yeah, I thought it was like a contract thing, like they couldn't afford to pay.

like how many lines do you get yeah yeah well there is that yeah exactly there is that thing of yeah you get paid for a line yeah but under something. Yeah, say something. They were there for a while. They did the scene where he took him into the...

his cache of weapons. That classic scene, which one do you want? And he's like, oh, my old friend. Yeah, I love guns. He really, yeah, he loved guns. Do you want a cool gun or do you want a bad gun? I've got so many options. Good question. And he shot an arrow at. A blind David Harper shot an arrow at him at the start. That's character development. Is it? Yes, he's got all sorts of...

stuff going on? Character stuff? Stuff going on. I didn't even connect that he was blind, because we didn't know he was blind. I didn't think back to that, but yeah. It's a fun little element. And that's character development It is That's what I liked about it. The one bit that made me laugh, there's a moment, the second time he goes back to the biker bar. He forgot some stuff. He forgot some stuff. He's scoping them out, but he's behind what looks like a Saturday Night Live, like, fake...

Bush? They're like four feet from him. He's got his little notepad open, his laptop, and he's like researching everybody. And they see him on the cameras. He's like, oh no. And you'd reckon that that would be... I thought that was him setting them up for something. Yeah. I spent some of this movie going, aha.

they're chasing him on the bike but he will have set up some he will have set up some he's probably going to pick up his daughter yeah yeah he had nothing if he didn't get what was he going to do if he got away it was it worked out well for him to get get kidnapped yeah you got to get in the van yeah now are there one or two baddie women with

forehead tattoos I think that was the one that was the one yeah it's a good question she would pair it up with that guy but then she was also yeah she had the golden gun I think that was oh okay I'm like it would be crazy if they've given them two separate Because when she was in one place... Might have been different hairstyling. Yeah, there was something, and I'm like...

there's no way they've given us two different, unless it's going to turn out that there's a whole gang of women with forehead tattoos. Or just two. And she was, yeah, because... I had a similar thought because when she was with the guy who looked like Rob McElhenney, it was very clear that... Is that how you say it? I can't remember. They're together. But sometimes she was on her own and I had a moment where I was like, oh yeah, because she works in the...

She's in the security room or whatever. Yeah, I see what you're saying. Where she works for the biker gang or the mafia. Yeah. I think. But she also goes down to gloves. But she seemed also way more with it when she was in that role, you know? Yes. That's interesting. I wonder if it was two roles that they just went...

Right. Yeah, maybe, yeah. We've already got 16 characters here. Let's combine a couple. And that McElhinney guy, he was on one of the... I think he might be English because I'm sure he was on one of the... You know that guy who writes a lot of like... suspense series that Netflix makes, that English thing.

And there seems to be one every year or so. He's in one of those. I think. I can look that up. All right. Sorry, I was really... I just thought I was talking about an encyclopedia. No. I liked the Russian mafia guy who looked like David Guetta. He just looked like a DJ. Yeah. With the sun, like the loose sun. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he was... He was a fun character. He was fun. He's an Irish actor, actually. But yeah, you were right. He was in The Deceived. He was in The Tower.

These all could be Netflix. Yeah, it'd be one. Yeah, something like that. Or actually, was it... Maybe it was that one with Doctor Who as a cop investigating... Broadchurch. Maybe it was Broadchurch. Was he in Broadchurch? I was in picky blondes. Does that help?

It could have been Piggy Boy. That helps. Yeah, that does help. He wasn't in Broadchurch. He wasn't? No. All right, then it was that other guy. Was he in the American version of Broadchurch that had a different name, but David Tennant was also in it? No. Okay. He was in Derry Girls as a character called Mad Stab.

Okay. So that's good. That's good. It was in Krypton. He played Lobo in Krypton. Oh, wow. I didn't know that. It was in Constantine. He's in a lot of stuff. He's in The Fall. Does that count? Yeah. Is that British enough? British enough? British and Netflix? Yeah, the show. You know when you watch so much stuff and it all just merges together? Absolutely, yes. I think he was like an ex-military guy in this. Was he in A Working Man?

Oh, Working Man. That's it. He was the head right guard in Guardians of the Galaxy. There you go. He's around a lot of stuff. Irish. Great stuff. Anyway, so he kills everybody. He runs in, he kills everybody. And then the last Russian mafia guy left. Because he killed all his family. He calls the head mafia table and he goes... This is the main... He kills everybody except the guy's dad. Yeah, and he goes...

This is, I want to kill Jason Statham. And they're like, well, no, he got the girl, which was what he was doing. And the business is done. So he goes... Yeah, that was great. All my kids and nephews and such were mad about it. There were two. Of my notes that I've got down here, there's the classic bit of him in the back of a van.

Yeah. There's a fight going, like, well, that driver's about to get shot. Yeah, absolutely. 100%. And they stretch it out a bit longer than they normally do, but that did happen. If I was driving... stop and you get out. Hey guys, we all right? Is everything all right? There were a couple of shots whizzed past his head. Yeah. Like there were warnings. It's true. Yeah, he got more than most.

And how big was the moon? It was so big! Yes! You're right! It was a big moon. I'm like, holy shit, that's a huge moon. There is the lunar illusion is that the moon looks much bigger when it's closer to the horizon than it does when it's directly up in the sky. But that moon was like...

Insane. Yeah. It was like the sun. Yeah. It's bigger than the sun. You reckon? Yeah. Yeah, I reckon it was that night. And was it Moonlights? When one of the girls was playing on the piano. Oh, yeah. It was a kidnapped girl. And he goes... it was such a funny like because like quite a well-known piece of classical music like i'd even heard of it yeah so like i don't know if we're proving his credentials which i guess is what that was meant to be

He's got taste. This guy, this guy. I'm a man of culture. But, of course, we got to see her playing that in a bit of a scene later on. Oh, yeah. She was good. What's her name? She was fun. And she was... Like, just not phased by any of us. No. Well, she knew karate, so... Yes. She learned how to break fingers. Yeah, all she needed to do was buy her time until... someone was in a position to be killed by her. And then she just...

kills that woman by breaking her neck. Ariana Rebas, her name is. Lucky that she could, because Statham was busy. He was too busy, yeah. If she was getting, like, if the... I reckon it'd be quite... difficult to break someone's neck. Oh, yeah. Wrapping your legs around their head. And you hear the crack as well. Like, she does. And I saw an open caption, so it said, Snap's neck. Did you really? Yeah, I did, yeah. Amazing. And then she, uh...

Yeah, double fingers. She turned around and I did it and then she did it. Really? Yeah, it was a really great moment for me. So just like you and her fucking... Yeah.

yeah but even when you're saying like she wasn't bothered he takes her back to the family and she's like let's not talk about any of this yeah this whole weird thing you're like well let's really hope that the Russian mafia are going to let this go yeah because otherwise you're living with your entire family yeah exactly this is it feels like there's going to be a sequel to

Yeah, because the dad. He screamed into the night. Yeah, that's right. He screamed into that big moon. I swear by the moon. I will have my revenge. You do that voice and you sound like Despicable Me, Groove. And there is a movie where he steals the moon. So I just think that's interesting. I know it was an accident, but that's what happened. And I think everybody can agree. I haven't seen that, but my Groove impression. It's really good, Matt. It's a really good group.

Yeah, all in all, yeah, I don't know. I think it is a laptop movie. Yeah. I think you should watch The Beekeeper, though, if you want a bit of a kick. I'm keen. I'm going to go watch it right now. Yeah.

I'm thinking about, I mean, I'm in the middle. I mean, I'll save it for what are you going to read or what are we reading? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I know people are probably hanging out to hear what I've been watching. Oh, they are. Don't you worry about that. I'll save it for the appropriate segment.

Well, speaking of, why don't we jump over to that segment? Okay. What's it called again? It's called What We Read. What We Gonna Read. You already said it, but that's kind of the way we lead into it. Exactly. Yeah, that's right. And the audio is better than ever, isn't it, everybody? One would hope so. So some of that was... Is that backup recording?

Now it's recording. We might need that. Not twice in a day. I don't think so. Now this is the segment of the show, as we all are aware, where we talk about things we've been watching, reading, listening or doing. It can be a physical activity, a mental challenge perhaps.

Can it be those things? Is that new? Yeah, that seems new. No, it's always been implied. I could have said some crunches every week. Yeah, but... You've been crunching every week. No, but I could have. It would have inspired me to do that. You've been crunching some video game developers. That's what you've been doing. That's right. Make sure they get it done. In my video game sweatshop. Yeah. Who would like to Matt? Would you like to go first? I would like to Matt.

I've been watching The Residents. Have you been watching that? Is that the... It's like a cozy mystery set in the White House. Oh, no, I haven't. I was thinking of that ER show that's not ER. Yeah. What's The Residents? Well, it's like, you know, it's like Poirot and The American and Kyle Minogue's in it, which is crazy. Yeah. She's from Street Fighter, the movie. She's playing herself.

What? Oh, I recognise that. Yeah, it's Kylie Minogue. So it's all said on the one night there's a murder and on that night there's a state dinner at the White House where they're hosting the Australian Prime Minister. Oh, John Howard. And it's a fictitious one but played by a real prime minister's son. Julian McMahon. Julian McMahon. Get out of here. He's from Nip Tuck. Yeah. And he's Doctor Doom. Yeah. That time, two times? That time, yeah.

So, yeah, he's the prime minister. He's got a great cast. Yeah, it's true. Randall Park's in it? Yeah, he's so good. Damn. I love Randall Park so much. Giancarlo Esposito? Yes. Is he evil? He's murdered. I don't know if that's a story. Was that in the last episode? No, that happened pretty quickly. We've been talking recently about how I've been saying I would love Giancarlo Esposito to break out of his kind.

Yes. And you said you love him to be murdered. And this is the next best thing. It's pretty good. I'll take it. His character is like he's the head usher is his title. But he's like the boss of all the stuff. So it is against type for sure. Yeah. That's a good start. Yeah. And even though he's dead, like most of it is played in memories and flashbacks and stuff. So it's very choppy. They jump around a lot. Like where...

So Al Franken is a senator, like he was a senator, right? Yeah, yeah, he was. And he's holding a hearing, which is obviously in the future at some point, and then we're hearing their perspectives. people telling the hearing of the night and then we see the night but then we see the

who's a bird watcher. Yeah. And she is then getting their stories and then we're seeing those stories. So it's like, you know what I mean? It's like bird watching skills come into play. Yeah. Yeah. So they really, is that a spoiler or is that also? No, that's right off the bat. I thought I was watching a bird, but I was. Watching the assassin. We meet her as she's like distracted by birds, I think. Out on the White House lawn. Is she like, what's her superpower? Is she autistic?

I think she would be, but yeah, it's memory. I think she would be. I have no right to diagnose anyone with anything. But no, she's... She won't give up. Yeah, tenacious. And she takes her time. I give up and I never take my time. So they are superpowers, aren't they? Yeah.

So you would recommend this? It's getting a good writer. I'm really enjoying it. I'm like halfway through. I think Netflix puts it all out. So I've been watching it at my own leisure. Chipping away. Yeah. I would have been watching another episode tonight, but now I'm watching The Beekeeper instead. That's right. Well, that's great. What about you? That's also a lot of that. well there you go that is true that's the only kind of shows I watch anymore

Well, I'm on a little holiday, so I'm going to see a lot of comedy festival shows. I'll see Matt's show, Bad Boy. It's going to be exciting. I'm going to be on. Are you doing Do Go On's 500th episode? Yes, that's right. I am doing that. Towards the end of Comedy Festival? I think it's the week after Comedy Festival. Oh. Yeah.

Do you need someone to do the Star Wars prequel episode live in your 500th episode? If you want to do that instead of me researching something, that sounds fantastic. I don't want to do that, actually. I don't want to do that at all. No, but that's – I think that's currently sold out. But I think Dave – He's figuring out a way to add some extra tickets. Nice. He's going to bounce people at the door. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, for attitude or shoes. Just vibe, don't like it. Not bringing it in.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a two to one ratio for Dave. Always has been. Which is weird because it's a one to two ratio on our pod of chicks. Oh, yeah. That's true, isn't it? God damn. I guess he's making up for that. Yeah, which is fair. Yeah. I haven't watched it yet, but have you guys heard about the studio?

Oh, the Seth Rogen one. The Seth Rogen and the Goldberg TV series. It was very tremendous. There was a recent show about a Marvel, fake Marvel. Yeah, the franchise. I like that a lot. But that got cancelled after the season, of course.

So this is here instead. I'm excited for this. Good cast as well. Rogan's in it. Catherine O'Hara's in it. Catherine Hahn's in it. Yeah. A lot of cameos, apparently. Oh, yeah. We're all about those cameos. Where do you – where is that watchable? This is on Apple TV. Cool, and it's out. Two episodes. Yeah, great. All right, I'm on that. It's a big night now. Beekeeper.

Whatever that was. The studio. The studio, yeah. And probably the next episode of The Resonance. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No sleeping tonight. No sleep for Matthew. If you're looking for another thing to watch, I saw Snow White. with my daughter. It's bad. Oh, no. Yeah, I mean, we all know that. Well, it's not doing well. This is fascinating, though, because... You know, notably, Disney's done a lot of live-action remakes. Well, live-action, you know, more photorealism.

They've taken their animated movies and they've made a photorealistic CGI versions of them. They've done it with The Lion King. Aladdin, etc. Many of which are to very mixed reviews. But this one is the first one that isn't doing well. Yeah, it's doing worse than Dumbo. Oh, that really says something. Also this movie, like the original was like 90 years old. I wouldn't say it is even like, it's not beloved at this point either. I would say.

There's no real hype for this. And I know like the reason that people look, I'd hate to get into this. The reason people saying it's bombing is because Rachel Zegler came out for Palestine. And there was even a story this week that she got a visit by a studio head, Mark Planck. Who flew over to see him. Who flew over to Dibbera talking to. And then whose son defended him on Instagram. And his son is also the brother of Dear Evan Hansen. So that's a whole nepotism situation.

That's not the reason why this movie is bombing. It's just not good and nobody wants to see it. That's why you don't like it, because you are Andy Woke, right? That's right, correct, yeah. No, it's just not good. Good or interesting or fun. Like there's the old elements which don't work and they mess that with the new elements which also don't work. What are the new elements? I don't know. Gal Gadot, she's a new element. Yeah, and look, I wouldn't even say, yeah, she sucks.

But I wouldn't even say that she's terrible, the worst part of it, because the queen is supposed to be this, like, ice-cold, like, maniac. And, like, she does that, right? She doesn't got a lot of range, but she does it. I would, like, people say Rachel Zegler, like, saves this. I don't think she does. I just don't think it's good. I took my daughter and she was like, yeah.

And she's like the prime age for this. I was going to say, you know, your kids kind of are in that age where they don't have any taste yet. So everything's good. It was the best age to be a kid, and everything at the cinema was the best. Yeah, absolutely. And I look back at the movies that I saw, and I'm like, oh these were not good at all but i loved them no good who knew well that's an exception

Yeah, I think people are also sick of this stuff. They're sick of the remakes, and especially, like, again, this movie is nearly 100 years old. We'll say that now, but then what is the next Disney live action remake? Well, it depends, because I feel like Lilo and Stitches, like, that will definitely do better. Well, that's also a remake.

yeah exactly it's a newer property and it looks fun where like the trailers for this and apparently there was a bunch of reshoots because they've got like this band of thieves which was supposed to stand in for the seven dwarves and then that kind of got leaked And so then the seven dwarves are also in it? Oh. But also, I heard... Are there seven bandits? Yeah, so there's seven bandits and... I don't know if it's seven.

And then there's seven dwarves as well. And I don't even, but it also, it's the kind of movie, I think I saw, I was listening to Mark Kermode's review and somebody wrote in a letter that was like, no, both of those were supposed to be in that in the first. Now, that doesn't make sense to me either. Like, either decision is bad. Maybe the seven dwarves and the seven bandits were all going to get married.

Some of the bandits got married, yeah. That's what I figured, yeah. Yeah, and you know, it's just... And the dwarves, like, because they're proportioned and they look like the Cardoon. Cardoon? The Cardoon. We say it in Australia. And they're fucking hideous. Like, yeah, they're, like, big... fleshy faces. Was it originally going to be little people actors but then there was an outcry of some sort? No, well, some of them, I think there's one that is a little person.

And that's it. And I know Peter Dinkley had said something about it and maybe that had something to do with all the, this cost between 240 and $270 million, which is also like, that's way too much. Like, even if this made a billion dollars, that's way too much. And it's not going to make... It got beaten by The Beekeeper 2 or whatever we talked about. That's right. Brutal. It's just... It's a perfect storm of just like nobody wants this. Have you liked any of them?

I didn't actually mind the last Lion King prequel. Yeah, I liked that one. I'm the only person who didn't hate Aladdin. I liked Aladdin. The new one. Three Aladdin-likers. The new one, just to be clear. Yeah, yeah. Okay. I'm one of the few people who likes the original Aladdin let me check But yeah, I mean, I guess the wall they're hitting up against...

is that Disney make kind of technically proficient movies that aren't that good. Yeah. But they're sort of propelled along by like, oh, it's The Lion King. Oh, it's something you recognize. Whereas... You know, people don't remember Snow White, really. I mean, they're doing Moana again. Yeah. The third one? No, no. Oh, no. They're remaking the first one. I mean, I didn't like The Little Mermaid. I didn't really like The Little Mermaid. I didn't care about it as a kid.

Pinocchio. You like Pinocchio, actually. I didn't like Pinocchio. Corella, I didn't mind. I'm just looking at this list. But that's not so much a remake as it is a prequel, right? Good point, actually. Yeah. And Christopher Robin, which is a Winnie the Pooh live-action prequel, is about Christopher Robin's grown-up and then his toys come back.

And he's like, am I going crazy? Is that the one where he's depressed? Yes. Is that Ewan McGregor? That's Ewan McGregor. From Obi-Wan Kenobi TV show? Correct. I've got a lot of stuff to watch tonight. That's right. That's right. So look, yeah, I can't. Oh, you know what? I saw Pete's Dragon. That was all right. I remember.

But they've still got a lot to do if they want to keep doing it, I guess. Yeah, and they can do sequels to remakes. Would you be able to figure out, James, what's the animated movie they made after Snow? Maybe they're just going to do those. Because that was the original feature length one, I think. Yeah. And that was like revolutionary at the time. Like there was nothing had been. I remember watching as a kid and like. Didn't know that cartoons were ancient. No, you don't know, right? Yeah.

Yeah, that's like there's a, you know, there's a real like there's a beauty in that original movie. yes and i'm not just talking about all the beautiful people oh that's what i was Was it Maleficent or whatever? Was that kind of like a...

Yeah, that was a prequel, also sidequel. Oh, but that's a different witch. She's from someone else. Yeah, that's a different witch, and there's two of those, and they might be doing a third one. So it was Snow White, then it was Pinocchio, original Pinocchio, then Fantasia, then the reluctant drag.

Never heard of that. Then Dumbo, then Bambi, then Saldos Amigos, and then a bunch of stuff I don't recognize. Bambi's up for a remake. Cinderella's from the 50s. Peter Pan's from the 50s. You can watch that deer die in a fire in full. Oh, yeah. Realistic glory, you know. Get ready for it. I think that would be fantastic. You could do, yeah, photorealistic fire. Imagine what that could look like. $240 billion behind it. Yeah, nice. So, look, this is, yeah. Look, I am interested in Lilo.

be fair i've never seen the original of that it's good it's fun i'm interested in the sense that like i wouldn't i don't hate the idea of going to see is what i'm saying that's not an endorsement that's just that's what i think of it okay anyway Bad. Don't say it. Okay. I mean, you can. I know you're going to anyway. You're going to rush home. Yeah. Well, I'm going to see if there's a screening tonight. A screening. A screening.

Anyways, Matt. But that is confusing. Two different groups of seven. I thought they'd replace the dwarves with something else. It might not be seven, but, yes, there are two different groups. I'm hearing there are two groups of seven. And they've gone, yeah, like that's someone not making a decision, it feels like. Yeah, that's right. Let's just have them both. Well, girls like dwarves. We'll give them something for the boys. Bandits? There it is. Something for the boy.

I don't really remember which of these are the new and the old songs. Well, the new songs are the rap ones. Oh, yeah, that's right. And the trap. The rap and the trap. You're right. Anyway, and the witch goes, she goes into the mirror. She gets sucked in. Whoa. She gets sucked in by the mirror? Yeah, man. Who was in the cartoon like a living thing, right? Yeah, yeah. So it's like he ate her? Well, no, at the end she goes to the mirror and she's like, because...

Snow White comes back to the castle and the witches turn it into this, like all the people who used to be farmers and poets are now... And so the evil queen, who's a stepmother, had come in and changed all it. And they're like, she's like, kill Snow White. And Snow White's like, I remember everybody here's name. And I remember all your jobs. And they're like, let's not kill Snow White. And then the witch is like, oh, shit.

So she runs up to the tower and she goes to the mirror. Hey, mirror, am I the most beautiful still? And the mirror's like. She wants to get one in before she leaves. Yeah, before she goes. And the mirror goes, hey, man. You're fucking hideous inside. And the witch is like... oh, goddammit, and she smashes the mirror. You should have said that years ago. I would have worked on myself internally. And the mirror smashes, and then it smashes in slow motion, and then it turns the wish.

to Ash and then she's sucked into the mirror. Oh. And then the mirror. So she's going to be the next mirror. I guess. I don't know if you saw the movie Wish that came out a few years ago, which is like the culmination of all Disney things forever. That also has the origin of the magic mirror. A man at the end of that.

Turn into the mirror. That's not a good movie either. Two bad movies that I recommend. So what was this backstory of the man that gets turned into a mirror? He got everybody's wishes in the kingdom. Uh-huh. And... And so he'd hoard them and then he'd give them out like sparingly. And then some, whoever was the main character of that, I don't remember who was like, yeah, wish everybody should get a wish. Uh-huh. You know? And he's like, I don't like that. And then he turns into a mirror.

the other stuff happens but that's that's where it's at that's great and it's supposed to be like a culmination of all there's like hints towards a whole lot of disney stuff in it because it's like well this is the world that like inspired A whole lot of different elements. But it's just shit. How did he gain the ability to know who was the fairest? Is that in Wish? I think you can ask him whatever. He's just guessing. He's not...

He's not all seeing. I don't know. Yeah, he was just a bloke. Of the people I've seen walk past this mirror. Yeah. Because I don't really get around a lot. Yeah, that's right. If you could put me in a shopping trolley and we'll be around the town. I'll have a look and then I'll give you an objective opinion about that. But even then, that's a guy just saying that, isn't it? That's true, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah, for balance, they should have... In the trolley, they should have the magic mirror.

and then a really drunk woman who's just been... a nightclub it'll be like you're so beautiful oh you're so beautiful she should push the troll i think so yeah yeah that's great i think we've just punched up the movie and punched down we've done a lot of punching yeah mostly me Anyway, Matt, sorry to hear all of that. No, I'm glad. You've saved me a couple of hours, I guess. So, Matt, just to reiterate with clearer audio, your show.

Yes. So, yeah, in Melbourne doing the show called Bad Boy. It's a stand-up show. Just Batman and Bad Boy. Yeah. You know, funny for all those sort of reasons. People probably don't know because people know Matt does a good riff on Do Go On. His stand-up's very good. It's very, very good. It is very good. I saw you record one of your live shows that you and Dave Warnieke did.

back-to-back recordings of your live shows. At the same time, back-to-back. Back-to-back, two microphones. Yeah, and I lost the toss. He got to face the audience. I'm facing the back wall. But very funny stuff. I'm watching this and I'm like, damn, Matt's good at stand-up. So I think people should go. Excellent. Appreciate that, mate. And, yeah, listen to the Do Go On podcast if they like to hear about stories of, you know, Star Wars. But others.

Yeah, there's others. Well, some of your mates have done all sorts of like Marvel history and Batman. Superman. Bill Finger. Bill Finger. You do a lot of murders and mysteries. Yeah, I did this week. one out at the moment is about the New York Zodiac killer. Yeah, I saw that. Yeah, yeah. It's good at Reese Nicholson's guests on it. Oh, nice. Yeah.

And I told the story. It was a little biased, but it was beautifully told. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did Rhys say that also? Yeah, Rhys said that, yeah. I heard David Fincher, the director of the movie Zodiac, called in. You did it better than my mind. Yeah. And I'm famous. Yeah. I do 100 takes every scene, and you did it in one. That's right. Well, you know what? Because this is a story. I mean, this is a spoiler that I revealed 10 minutes into the episode, but it's...

For a little bit, they were like, is this the same Zodiac killer? But it's a copycat. Like 16 years after, they stopped hearing about the Californian Zodiac. So I think maybe Fincher could do a sequel. Yeah. Zodiac in New York. Dodiac. Classic. Yeah. Why are we getting further away from him? I think we...

We got it right. Sometimes you've got to go too far to know where to come back to. That's right. How about this? Zodiac 3. Oh, yeah. And then everyone's running around looking for Zodiac 2. That's right. There isn't one. That's brilliant. We tricked him. That's really good. Yeah. Yeah, and then who knew it's another weekly podcast. I know you're on the 100th episode. Mace has been on a bond.

I would say a lot of fun. Whoa. What does Reece Nicholson say? Yeah, really pretty good. Nice. Reece has never met. Wow. Wow. I'm going to record a bunch of episodes coming up with a comedy festival, guests from around the place. Incredible. A bit of fun. Yeah, sounds lovely. You like fun. I know you do. I do like fun. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You are okay.

It depends on the fun. Yeah. Anyway, thank you so much, Matt. Thanks so much for having me. And come back. So good to be back. Yeah. With the boys. That's right. And the dog. Grab a beer on your way, are you? Yeah, is that all right? James, you have the Viking stare of a man.

For whom it is past your bedtime. Oh, I thought that was it. No. You've got the vacant stare of a man. You've got the vacant stare of a man. Every man I've ever met in the modern era. It's true. Just staring. Just looking and staring. All of us looking. That's right. Not looking, staring. Yeah.

This is a letter segment of the show. If you don't want to reach the show, it's simple. You can go email Mason, weeklyplanetpod at gmail.com. That's so true. Keep it short. Yeah. Keep it simple. We're simple men. We're simple men. We see a short email, we go, yes. We're simple men living in complicated times. Quite frankly, it's overwhelming. We're like the Hemingways of our day, I think. We're like the Hemsworths of our day.

We're like... We've got a fitness app. Yes, and a shotgun. It's $19 a week, and we have a shotgun. That's right. Just call us the Hemingway's words. We're very masculine, but we're sensitive about it, but we have a shotgun. Look out. Yeah, look out. Or if you go to the Planet Broadcasting Great Mates Facebook group, there's always a thread there every week. That's so true. What have you got for us this week, Nick Mason, Hemsworthington? Here's an email from Sierra.

What's up, guys? Greetings from Florida. Whoa, hello. I was wondering if you guys heard anything about the... I wonder if... I was wondering if you guys heard about the recent update.

on the live-action He-Man movie. Oh, yeah. The new casting, set photos, et cetera. I know you guys aren't terribly excited for it, but I would love to hear more of your thoughts on the update since my favorite actor is playing the titular role. Oh, that dude, whatever his name is. Nicholas Galantis is his name. Correct. There's that teaser poster. I don't know if you've seen that. I haven't seen it. It looks pretty good. Oh, I have seen that. Alison Brie is Evelyn. Who's...

I think man-at-arms is Idris Elba. I like that. Oh, that's a good idea. So, yeah. It's also one of those things where it's him. He's good at standing near a thing. He is. With a sword. Exactly. He's wearing armor. It's one of those ones where, like, it's also set on Earth initially, and then it's like, hey, man, you've got to get whisked away. Yeah, so it's shades of the Master of the Universe movie from back in the day. All I've seen is, is some of it set in England? Maybe. Because there's a...

There's some set photos and he's walking down the street and he's wearing a pink shirt. Yeah, great. Because he's Adam. I love it. And he's being bothered by the Bobby. Oh, don't do that to him, man. He'll beat you up. Yeah, so I only know him from the movie Bottoms, where he's the jock. That's good. I like him. But he's also in... The Craft, Legacy, and Cinderella 2021. I haven't seen that, but I have seen that Bottoms movie that I did like.

I think it's fun. Yeah, this could work potentially. I think this is probably being made by people who remember the original and are probably roughly our vintage and they're like, we need to do a version. I reckon maybe a little bit Barbie-ish in the self-aware sense and probably truer to the original car.

I hope they do a bit where they do the He-Man theme song. And then there's a moment always in the theme song where it goes, He-Man. He-Man. Yeah. And I want that. That'd be good. And whatever else. And then he's going to leave. Yeah. So if that happens in the first 10 seconds, you're going to leave. That's all you're going to need. And I hope there's one of those weird dragon walker vehicles. Yeah, we put all the people in it? Yeah, yeah, and it just sort of...

dog legs down the road or whatever. I think that'd be fun. Yeah, cool. I can't say, you know what? I know Sierra, like the game company, said we're not, I wouldn't say I'm not unjazzed for it. Yeah, same. So, you know. Oh, Joe Leto's fucking Skeletor, isn't he? Oh, okay, right. That'll do it. That'll do it. Yeah, boo, I'm unjazzed. But, you know, we'll see. Yep. Maybe.

Mason, this is from Brian who says, do you think the X-Men appearing in Avengers Doomsday are going to be the original Fox version from Days of Future Past or another variant universe? Also, do you think they'll give them more colorful comic actor costumes? since Deadpool and Wolverine showed that the yellow and blue work.

I mean, now's the time. To answer your questions in order, they're going to fudge it. Yep. It's going to be the beast thing. They're just going to be like, yeah, we're from, you recognize the actors. We're from X-Men. We're from X-Men. And I think they probably will lean towards the more colorful costumes.

I don't think James Marsden's going to have the big yellow briefs. Put them on him. Put them on him. Put them goddamn on him. Put them on him. Yeah. I think they will be more colorful and then they're going to see how people react to that and when they do the MCU reboot X-Men. Yeah. They will put them somewhere. Yeah, I'm okay with that. Or they might just bring them into the MCU and be like, these are you guys now. Agreed.

yeah uh so yeah i would say more so yes but like even like the gamut outfit is not like Yeah, no, true. You know, it's accurate, but it's not like, you know, it's not crazy. Oh, yeah. So something like that. I think if you hit people with nostalgia plus also comic accurate costumes. Why hasn't Gambit got a proper X-Men costume? What does he think he's doing?

It's a great question. Why does he have – Why do they all have face socks? Where did he initially get the face sock and then like – because it's trench coat and then like really tight. black leggings and like a purpley pink thing with a robot collar. What's going on there? Where did he get that? Did he design it himself? Probably. Seems like he found all the different pieces. Maybe somebody threw him the collar in New Orleans during one of those.

Those raucous parties they have. Gambit Origins. Gambit Origins. Let's see it, please. Let's see it. Even though we sort of did. But let's see it again. Yeah. Yeah, what do you think, Mason, about the next letter? I'll tell you what I think. I think it's from Zachary. And he says, hey, mates, my family has a longstanding tradition that someone else must name your car.

I've had a 2007 Prius for a couple of months now, and no one has stepped up to name it for me, so I want to open it up to you two. It is silver, has 450,000 kilometers on it, and I'm planning to add green racing stripes to it. Thanks in advance. I think you should call it the silver scarab. And you have to put the lisp in. And you can't shorten it. Can't say this is the silver scarab. You can't say it's a scarab. Yeah. You can't rush over it.

This is the silver scarab. Yeah. That's exactly, yeah. Yeah. You got anything above that? No. Okay, that's a good one. How could I have something above that? Yeah. Yeah. And if people say, what's with this stripe? You've got to say, it's my race. Oh, what if he's, no, actually, you know what? You have to say it's the stripy silver scarab.

You have to emphasize the but at the end. And then you have to say $450,000. In a Prius, too. That's impressive. Regular voice. You say that in the regular voice. Regular voice, yeah. That's in the name. Yeah. Fantastic. Anyway, rules are rules. And that's what you're doing. As far as I can tell, you have to name it that now. The Stripey Silver Scarab. This is your rules. This is your rules and we're following your rules. Thank you. Zachary. Zachary.

This is from Josh. He says, what's your favorite horrors of all time? And what do you think have been the best ones for the last 10 years or so? I think most of mine are from the last 10 years or so. Well, Sunshine's a semi-horror movie in that part. It Follows is great, getting a sequel. And speaking of, Maker Munro, she was in a movie called Watcher.

She's in Long Legs. And she's in Long Legs. Well, Long Legs is good, but she's in a movie called Watcher where she thinks she's being watchered. Oh, yeah. By Watchers? It's fucking awesome. It's really good.

It's Watcher. Because there's also a movie that came out recently called The Watchers. That's different. No, we watched that. We watched that. I didn't watch it. No, we saw it together, didn't we? No. I saw it. They live in the woods. Yeah, I didn't say that. I saw it. It's Shyamalan's daughter? But not the one who does music, the other one. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Watch Watcher. It's good. All right. The Descent. That's one like 2007. Yes. Cabin in the Woods. That's great. Train to Busan. Good. Talk to the Hand. That's a good one. That's a good one. Anything else, Mason? Those are all the horror movies. The Shining sequel, that was good. Oh yeah, Dr. Slave. I reckon if you just go back and watch

and listened to our podcast for the last few years, I've thoroughly enjoyed pretty much every horror movie. The ones that we've covered for this. The one where the woman has a guy on the back of her face. Oh, um, yeah, um, freaking... There's a freaking guy in the back of my face.

not Maleficent, Malevolent. Yeah. Is that what it's called? Yeah, that is a spoiler for that movie. It still works. You'll figure it out pretty quick. That's right. In watching that movie. And I think it's just because, you know. they are they horror movies remain flying in the face of modern movie making because it's just a dumb idea and 10 grand yeah for a lot of them and it's just like you know more than that now but like just

You don't need $100 million. You need a good idea and a fake head on the back of your head. And a good idea. This is a good idea always. Forever. Whatever that quote is. That's right. Got another one, Mason? I do. Who's this one from? This is from Connor. Zachary? No. Oh. Hi there. My name is Connor. In June last year, James and Mesa very kindly wished me happy birthday on the popular five-star rated Weekly Planet podcast. You're welcome. Thanks to my great mate, Tom.

After some back and forth, they debated also wishing a happy birthday to Tom, but quite rightly refused. They speculated as to whether Tom would survive to see his next birthday, and I'm delighted to be able to inform the boys that Tom is alive and well, and it's his birthday on Tuesday the 1st of April.

I would love it if the big Aussie bloke could wish Tom a very happy birthday and congratulate him on being a bloody great mate. No. Can we say yeah? Can we not? I think no again. I agree. Yeah, thanks.

You can have a happy birthday. Yeah, but we're not wishing that for you. No, we don't wish anything. We don't wish you harm. I'm not a fucking genie. That's right, exactly. Yeah, we can't control the winds of fate. No, no. Yeah, but I'm just saying second year in a row, no, we will not wish him a happy birthday. I would also appreciate if anyone listening could give the podcast a five-star rating on their podcast.

Yeah, you can do that. Cheers, lads, Connor. Because that's not a wish. Yeah. That's a physical action you can take. Exactly. Yeah. And I understand that this is clearly some sort of bribe. Agreed. Because there are only two men in this story and they... they can only give us five stars twice maximum. Yeah. And he's hoping that this will tip us over into wishing Tom, Tom Perl, Perl, a happy birthday. But again, try again next year. Tom Perl. Tom Perl. Like Trump.

Tom Burt? Yes. Okay. Great. Yeah. Anyway, we appreciate it. Anyway, nice try, Trumpet. Nice try, Trumpet. Better luck next year. Try again in a year. We'll be here. We'll be here. Maybe you won't. I got one here, Mason. It's my last one from Danny, who says... Why do you boys often see movies separately? Is it a scheduling issue?

The only thing I can think of would be worse than having to go to a theater and sit through a Morbius or a Red One would be having to sit through it alone. It seems absolutely dreadful. Since you're both required to see these movies for the pod, why not do it with your best mate? Well, after my best mates at work, my best mate, Joe. Yeah, I know. I got you, mate. You got me. It's true.

It's true. I don't care. No. I will sit in a movie by myself. It doesn't bother me at all. I think a lot of people, you know, are still sort of hung up on the idea of like, everybody's going to see me go into the movie theater alone. this guy i'm well past that yeah no exactly and you that have that is a maximum of like

Two minutes and then the lights go down. Yeah. Also, I'm looking around when I'm seeing the movie. Everyone's weirder than me. Absolutely. 10 a.m. on a fucking Thursday. Yeah, sure, there's two of you, but I'm half as weird as the both of you individually. It's fine. You say something to me, I'll say something to you. That's right. You know what I mean? I know exactly. But also we don't live near each other. No, that's true. We...

Occasionally we'll see a movie. What did we see? We went to the theater for something not that long ago. Yeah, was it good? I can't remember. Yeah, I think it was. Yeah, nice. That's great. That's great for us. Yeah, I think that's when we're on break. Yeah. We're like, let's hang out. Yeah. And what are we going to do? I don't know. I'll see a movie.

It's true, yeah. We'll just see a movie. So, yeah, that's where we're at. But, yeah, also, you know, we get out all the, you know, the opinions here. So it's sometimes all fair. But, yeah, I mean, all you have to do is just delay that. You changed the venue from in the car park afterwards. Delayed gratification. To the podcast studio. That's right. Which we have put inside a car park. Correct. There's a direct tunnel from the exit of the theater, the emergency exit.

That's right, which we pushed through. Yes, that's right. Set the alarm off. Correct. Yeah, but again, I think if you want to see a movie, it'd be like, oh, everybody knows Busy or whatever. Just go see the movie. Just go see the movie. Just say, man, it's fine. It's fine, it's cool. We don't mind. Get a popcorn. Get a boysenberry choc top. If you want. Yeah. It's very expensive.

Mason. It's true. You got another one? I got one more email, James. You got another one? I got one more email. This is from Jameson. Jameson, like the drink? Yep. Heineken. Yeah, he's named Jameson Heineken. Which is the classic combination of drinks. It's true. I call it a Jameson Heineken bomb. Drop it in there. Drop a bottle of Jameson into a bottle of Heineken? No, you drop a Heineken bottle into a shot.

Okay. Just drop the bottle. Sounds good. And then you scoop up whatever shattered remains and put it in your mouth. Okay. Yeah. It's called a bomb primarily because of all the damage it does to you. I was going to say, because of all the bleeding. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, Jameson says, Gentlemen, I'd like to thank you for introducing your new segment two weeks ago. This is bombing, but you should see it so we won't spoil it.

Fantastic. Your review of Black Bag in that segment was perfect. It was just enough to tell me why I should see it, but little enough that there were plenty of surprises. My wife and I had a delightful outing to the cinema, our first in seven years. Whoa. When you review something like Craven the Hunter, I enjoy your spoilery banter because I know that if I ever accidentally watch it on an airplane, knowing the plot won't reduce my...

But I'm very thankful that you protected Black Bag. And despite what seems like a constant onslaught of movie marketing in the US, we're the first to tell me about it. I look forward to catching more Undiscovered Gems that you feel compelled to champion. And we look forward to letting you. That's right. Yeah. No, that's very kind. But we're not going to wish you a happy birthday. No. You know what? Happy birthday.

Actually, yeah, happy birthday to you and your wife. Hope you have a lovely couple of days. Hope you get spoiled. You deserve it. Yeah, that's right. You absolutely deserve it. What a lady. Mason, what was the question? Yeah, we should do that more. Yeah. Or just make them regular episodes. Yeah. Yeah, have a fun... But we're doing Minecraft next week, so... Yeah, but it's also difficult because it is a movie that...

Luckily, the trailer doesn't spoil a lot. No, it really doesn't. When you think of a big blockbuster movie, when you think of a Marvel or a Disney or what have you, so much of that is in the trailer. And really, even when you get into spoiler territories, the majority of it is not real. Yes. So much of a spoiler, so much. So, you know, it is only a certain type of movie that we can do. But anyway, go see Black Bay. Is it? It's still in my local cinema. Is it? Yes. Where do you live?

On the moon. Yeah. Is that true? Yeah. Great. You've said that yourself. We don't live near each other. But I also live on the moon. What? I live on the dark side. Do you live on the dark side of the moon? Yeah, I live on the dark side of the moon. The moon's still pretty big, though. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cool. You live in the Sea of Tranquility bit? Yes. Yeah, me too. We should go to the movies more. Name another part of the moon. The Sea of...

Ah, the bit where Tintin went. Okay. When he went there. I'll pay that, I guess. Yeah, that's right. When he's Red Rocket. I remember the Red Rocket. Yeah. I don't believe it, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Are you any more? Is that the show? I wish you'd go to the Moon Heights.

As opposed to the hoists on earth that we normally go to. Yeah, or the Moon Village. Yeah, it's a pain in the ass. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now that's the whole show, James. Wow! Folks, thank you so much for listening. We absolutely appreciate it. Thank you. Getting late. Yes. Thank you to everybody who suffered through some probably terrible audio, which would have been much worse if our friend Rob...

Collings hadn't fixed it. That's right. And thank God for the backup, Mason. We actually used it. We actually used the backup. And it worked. What a world. Yeah. What a world. My God. What a world. Huge thanks to Collings for fixing that as well. And of course, thank you to Matt Stewart for coming by. All his shows, etc. and podcasts are linked below.

Anyway, folks, thank you so much for listening. Thank you for subscribing. Thank you for telling your friends about the podcast because that is how we get new listeners. And thank you for leaving a five-star review. On your podcast app of choice. And if you do, James will read it out. He might wish you a happy birthday. I won't. No, I might. Happy birthday. This one's from...

I don't know. Okay. That's great. But it says fair warning. This pod is great. So great. You will become a huge fan and go back and listen to all the full back catalog and even sign up for. Sandwich, their Patreon website for the price of a big sandwich. More like a small sandwich these days, am I right? But after all of that, they will force you to watch Morbius again. You can listen without watching Morbius.

So just be aware as fun as they are and as funny as they are, there are downsides. And this one's from a shrugging emoji. It says, love the podcast.

Hello, Giovanna Fletcher here from Happy Mum, Happy Baby. We're sponsored by Kinder Surprise, and I love that Kinder champions those little moments of play because they mean so much for kids and their development. A Kinder Surprise isn't just a chocolate treat, it's a little adventure for the kids.

It's a combination of treat, discover and play all in one. And with the Appledoo app, co-developed with Oxford's Department of Education, the fun doesn't stop. The toys come to life, making play even more engaging. I love that my kids can explore the world of baby animals with Kinder Surprises in a Toon's baby animal toy range whilst having a blast with interactive play. It's the perfect mix of fun, learning and a tasty treat. and even your daily commute. You can spend Avios
