571 Sinners & Star Wars Celebration 2025

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... Nick Mason. I'm rip-roaring and raring to go. I can tell. Yeah. You've been saying that for like 10 minutes. I've had so much caffeine and I've got more caffeine to go.

Well, that's great for you. And the listeners, I think. That's going to bring a real bad energy. I think so too. Which is great on this Easter weekend. Happy Easter if you celebrate it. You know what? Happy Easter if you don't celebrate it. I force that upon you. That's right. What do you think of that? That's right. We insist that on Monday you go down the shops and buy a lot of discount chocolate, even if you can't eat chocolate. You have to do it. You have to do it. Get one of those people.

You know those marshmallow ducks or whatever that chickens? We don't have those here. They look gross. I'm going to say it. Mason, it's a huge week. Did you know that? I did know because it's Easter. It's Easter, obviously. We're all rip-roaring and ready to go to get discount chocolate on Monday. It's mostly trailers. We've got a bunch of trailers we're going to talk about, including Fantastic Four one. It means the hot crust buns are going to be.

There's fruit buns. They're the same thing. There's none of the cross in there. None, none, none, no, James. None, none, none. How many hot cross buns have you even eaten? In the last, because they came out in like November. A lot. Exactly. So many. Now I'm going to miss him. Let him go away and then you can come back to it. It's good. It's something to look forward to. It's something to live for.

for once in our miserable lives. Okay, I guess we could live for something. Exactly. Okay, continue. Fantastic Four, 28 Years Later, Him. We've got a feature yet for Superman. And then, of course, it is Star Wars Celebration in Japan. Is that where it was? Yeah, it still is too. We've got the Mandalorian versus Grogu. I guess they don't have Easter. Don't they? In Japan. I force it upon them. Whoa. Yeah.

The Mandalorian versus Grogu is a leaked trailer that we both watched, which we can talk about. There's also an announcement of a brand new Star Wars film, a brand new animated show. And then don't worry, those movies that you didn't think were coming out, some of them might be. Some other ones. No, some of them might be. I mean, they might be. Yeah. Yeah. You know, we exist in a realm of infinite quantum possibilities. It's true. Except for these Star Wars movies that I come from.

That Petty Jenkins one, not coming out. No, that one I think is definitely not coming out. Seems we're getting something which is somewhat similar potentially. Yeah, yeah. With a guy, with a director who made a billion dollar movie. Yeah. And an actor. And also that movie about how Owen Wilson worked at Google or whatever. Oh, yeah. He did that one. Nice. Let's go to Google, but we're old. The Google boys. The Google boys.

And then we're going to talk about Sinners, Ryan Coogler's latest movie, which we both have things to say about. That's right. Good and bad. I don't think I have anything bad to say about it. You told me you've got only exclusively bad things to say about it. tricking you. Oh my god, you got me. Looking forward to talking about that. I met the devil down at a crossroads.

give James a big trick. What? I'll make you the best guitar player in all the land. But you don't have a guitar. I know. Are you going to get one? No. Just like knowing that I've got it. Yeah. I can go to parties and play Wonderwall. Let's pick up somebody. And people will be crying, you know, in the living room. Because you play the best version of Wonderwall. Wonderwall, exactly. But you can't sing. It's not important.

Interesting deal that you made. Well, you know. Well, there wasn't much to it. You didn't have to do much. Well, I had to trick you. And you did. And I tricked you good. You didn't have to sell your soul or anything. That was the extent of it. That's right, yeah. Not a bad deal, mate. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to have to force Easter on it.

I like that. That's good. So yeah, there's time codes below. Rob Collings who edits this. He puts them in if you don't want to jump to anything in particular. He does a darn fine job. That's right. I bet he met the devil at a crossroads.

And the devil said. You're doing a great job. You're doing a great job. And do you want to be even better at putting in time codes? Mm-hmm. Well. I don't think he needs to. No, I don't think he needs to either. Don't make that deal, Collings. Yeah, don't do it. Don't do it. Don't worry about it. The gain will be marginal at best. You're at like 99.9% of putting in time codes. Exactly. I wouldn't sell anything for that remaining point. For a goddamn thing.

So next week, we're going to talk about Until Dawn. I'm going to talk a little bit about Daredevil this week. There's just a lot of stuff happening. Sometimes we miss things and they get pushed back. Speaking of video game adaptations into movies, we recorded a little something with a couple of folks. That's right. A couple of fine folks.

From the Americas? Some of them were from the Americas. Most of them were from Australia. Most of them were Australian. But some are Australian and live in America. It was crazy. We didn't know what was happening. Yeah, that's right. We're on the Joe Rogan experience. And we made him talk about video game movies.

That's right. It's not going to be out this week, but we went on the Friends Per Second podcast. It's going to be next because it comes out every two weeks. But we'll remind everybody next week when it's coming out and the week after. That's right. And then every week until Hot Cross Buns come back. If we don't make this the most watched.

video on their channel will be very embarrassed yeah exactly you know so and they said they'd be mad i said they'd be mad and they wouldn't have us back that's fair enough i think so too Mason, trailers are hype. All right, starting here, are we? Okay, the Fantastic Four First Steps got a brand new trailer. Fantastic Four First Steps.

First steps. Well, speaking of first steps. Go on. It looks like they're doing the origin at the start of a talk show. They appear on a talk show. Is that Mark Gattis? Yes, from British Mark Gattis. British Mark Gattis. Being American Mark Gattis. He's Mycroft Holmes. He is Mycroft Holmes. And he co-created that show? Mycroft Holmes. No, he created Sherlock. No, Sherlock was invented by Arthur Conan Doyle, my son. You're fine. You might be thinking of Get Smart.

Or Inspector Gadget. Yes, that's right. So that wasn't Russell T. Davis or Stephen Moffat or whatever who did Sherlock? No, I think maybe they co-created it. That's fine. He co-created television shows with Stephen Moffat. Great. He's won a Peabody Award. Oh, yeah? Yeah, that's right. Probably for his role in Fantastic Four First Steps. Being American. That's right. Yeah, that's cool, man. So, yeah, they're skipping over the origin because of the – oh, yeah.

So it's set in an alternate Marvel universe where it's the 60s. But it's a futuristic retro cool the 60s because the Fantastic Four are so cool and they give everyone their technology. It's probably not the 60s though. I think it is the 60s. I think they're actually doing that. Okay. But it is retro cool. It's retro cool. And it's this idealized version of the retro future past present. It's like if the Stark Expo, any of that actually worked. Yeah.

Which it didn't. Which it didn't. And then any of the stuff that did work, he used to put in missiles and shoot at people. Yeah, he did. Yeah. And then he stopped doing it, but he mostly, he did it personally as opposed to outsourcing it to others. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And Howard Stark would have done that had he had the technology at the time. Yeah, I think. Yeah.

So this is my legacy, Tony, for you to kill a bunch of people. Anyway, this is the universe where those guys didn't exist and therefore it's a Utah. Mm-hmm. So, yeah, they break down. So they're celebrities. They break down their appearance or how they got where they are. It seems like they're going on a talk show and they're just like, yeah, they've got the powers they went to space and now they're fantastic for. Everybody's got abilities. Look at this.

You know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Visible woman is pregnant, which we heard leaks of and rumors of as well. That's true, yeah. Some claimed it in previous trailers they'd edited her out, her pregnancy. Some people were like, she's walking like she's pregnant. Yeah, okay. Do you reckon she'd do Invisible Belly? to do that? Could she make that? Yet more unrealistic beauty standards for women. I agree. I'm an ally and I'm with you. That's right. You're also an ally. Two allies. Two allies, yeah.

I'm wondering if they're going to do, because Reed and Sue have two kids in the comics. They have Franklin and they have Valeria. do we think they're going to have twins? Because that would speed up the process, wouldn't it? Yeah, get it out. It would speed up the narrative process. Get it done. Get it done. Just knock out two kids immediately, you know what I mean? What did Valeria do again?

She is very closely allied with Doctor Doom. Oh, no. So she's kind of like, I don't know what her powers are, though. I think she's just smart. I don't know. Yeah. I mean, I'm smart. It doesn't mean anything. No, I mean. I'm an ally. But I mean – franklin richards is a mutant and he has sort of everything well yeah depending depending on depending on the era he's got like very significant reality altering abilities kind of thing yes like there's a there's a famous issue where

He and his sister are being pursued by a villain and he's dressed as like a little cowboy with a little cowboy fake gun. And the last moment he turns his cowboy gun into a real gun. Yeah, nice. It's just something he can do. That's cool, man. Yeah, so apparently, yeah, she's very smart and doesn't have any abilities, but she's very smart, and that's cool. Originally, Von Doom was her name, so there you go.

Probably something going on there, I reckon. Maybe. Probably. Probably, maybe. Maybe they'll skip to all of that. Well, speaking of, we don't see any Doctor Doom in there. No, that's true. We didn't. We didn't. Did you see that apparent leaked image of... uh dr doom there's no i'll tell you what well i mean it can't be because he's in a full suit yeah like that's that if that if they're not doing a full suit anymore they're doing dot

They're doing Robert Downey Jr. shows up. I mean, if that's a concept. If it's a concept art, I suppose, yeah. I don't know. No. I mean, people said, is this Mark Hamill? Because also, Robert Downey Jr. Apparently, he had a big birthday bash. He's got a haircut. He's got a sort of a swoopy-doop haircut going on there. Real swoopy-doop. No, that's pretty good. And people are like, well, that's on the invitation. And people are like, is that what?

Dr. Doom's going to look like? How's that going to fit in the helmet? Great question. Is he going to have a swoopy doop? If it is real, and I agree with you, I don't think it is. I think maybe for a lot of the movie, because they're paying so much for him, they will have armor, no helmet. Yes, absolutely. Or some other kind of... He'll become Doom at the end. He's like, no, I'm Doomsday. But not like DC Comics. No, exactly. Like Marvel Comics, he'll say. Yes. Yeah.

What else is, oh, we finally get to see what Reed Richards stretching looks like. Looks pretty good. I don't mind it. Yeah, it's not bad. It's never been done great. I saw an interview with Pedro Pascal where he said he based it on the noble octopus. I don't think he said the noble octopus.

but we know they are he said the brilliance of an octopus oh the brilliance of the noble octopus but then he said not in any literal physical translated way but I put it in my subconscious so it's acting okay yeah so he's sort of pretending he's got the subconscious of an octopus in his head now at all times

So whenever you see him on hot ones or, you know, on the red carpet or whatever, just know he's got the subconscious of an octopus now and he can't get rid of it. Whenever he's in a fish tank, just know he's the octopus. Whenever you're in a Chinese restaurant, you get to pick out something from that big tank. Yeah. Just know if you pick out Pedro Pascal, that's cruel actually, to chuck him in the boiling water. Leave him in there. Leave him in there.

Or purchase him and let him go free. Let him free, yeah. Throw him out on the street. Throw him down the drain, you know?

what else is a lot of I mean a lot of stuff in this trailer we got Ben Grimm pulling a big tanker and well he's pulling a big tanker which is incredible you know have a look at that in slow-mo or like get a good look at that because that a cgi character interacting with presumably cgi water and maybe a real model of a ship or whatever like that's just showing off that's like avatar too apparently a lot of this is practical a lot of model work like galactus is

a lot of guy-in-suit stuff. Okay, all right. So I think they're using, or they're saying they're using kind of like... I would love that if Galactus was just guy-in-suit. Yeah. You know I would love that, guy-in-suit and then a cardboard city. I would love that so much. Mason, you're going to love it. We see his big foot. We do see his big foot.

Yeah, but is he big enough to eat a planet? He's... He's probably got a big ship and whatever. He's got a big ship and, like, his size for people who are going to... But there are some people who are going to complain. trailer no matter what yeah you know he's he's really uh he's a projection really yeah he doesn't look like

Because you can't comprehend him, so it's just kind of what he appears like. So sometimes he's a cloud. Yeah, sometimes he's a cloud. But we also see Ben Grimm lifting up a little green Volkswagen. A lot of people have compared that to the first appearance of Superman on the first action comics. you know hurling that subtle dig at James Gunn and Zack Snyder but I think so yeah which I don't like I don't like it at all yeah

We also see this version of Silver Surfer, Shalabal. Shalabal. Yeah, who's... Julia Garner. Yeah, but that's this universe. I know people are having a cry about it. Well, here's the thing. I think people are having a cry about this because it's working. Yeah, but what if Black Panther was white? What do you think about that? Oh, that's a really good point, actually. White chicks, you ever seen it?

Couldn't do that, could they? Yeah, no. I think they're going to that. I think they're making a sequel. They're going to that. Like, watching this trailer... instantly, like within five seconds you're like, oh, I see why they've done this. They haven't done it for equality reasons or whatever. It's because they need to have a love interest for Johnny Storm. That's what this is.

And if I had to put money on it, I would say at the end of the movie, Johnny Storm has to make the choice of not pushing the button and Galactus destroys the universe or he does push the button. And the world is saved, but. You can't get a big kiss. You can't get a big kiss from the silver surfer. And that's what happens. I'd choose the kiss. Yeah, I know you would. Because you're a low, dirty. I'm an ally. Yeah. That's what it is. That's what it is. Because they can't.

Because the Reed and Sue romance is set in stone. They've got a kid now. I assume, is there an Alicia Masters character for Ben Grimm? Maybe, potentially. But they need a hot romance for this. Okay. They need a Captain America. Agent Carter, the nater, Pepper Potts, Tony Stark, whatever. He followed her into space in the trailer and then his fire went out but not the fire in his heart. That's so true, isn't it? His heart is on fire. That's bad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You should put it out.

A big bucket of water. I know he mentioned making Johnny Storm more modern and some people didn't like that because he's like, well, he's, you know. maybe doesn't play as well to just make him like he was in the early 2000s, just nothing really beyond a bro. And that's not strictly true. Yeah, just like a guy who likes snowboarding.

chicks. That's right. But I don't know. I got that kind of, the cocksure kind of attitude from some of this. Maybe this will be bad. I don't know. I'm not, I gotta say this got me more excited than I have been for it. Yeah. But yeah, well, I guess we'll see.

I also like when the press was like, hey, Reid, are we going to get out of this? And he's like, I don't know. Why'd you ask me? Well, you're the guy, man. I didn't want to be the guy. Well, you are. You made yourself the guy. I know you're the guy. Yeah. Shouldn't have given myself the subconscious.

I feel guilty like octopuses do all the time. Do they? Maybe. No, they got to get over it, man. You got to let some of that shit go. Mason. Go on. Hello. July 25th. Be there in cinemas. I will. Yep. Can I come with you? Absolutely. That opens a lot of doors. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. You could say that. You can go anywhere. It's great. Mason, we also got a new trailer for 28 years later. That's right. The second sequel.

To 28 Days Later. Correct, yes. I don't know if you saw this, but Alex Garland, who had a new movie out, Warfare. Warfare, yep. That has a, what's his face? Yeah. The guy, Johnny Stone. Johnny Stone. The guy, Joseph Quinn. That guy. And it's got, he just basically talks about every movie he's ever written on. I forgot this, but he wrote The Beach, The Boar.

Uh-huh. And then it got adapted into the movie and him, Danny Boyle, and they did a bunch of collaborations together, including the movie Sunshine. And they all signed. All Saints song, correct. Do they have a song about the beach? Yeah. Now I'm not going to do it. Yeah, yeah, I did it. 28 days later and how that came about. I can't remember. It's somewhere on YouTube. Just type in Alex Garland movies. Maybe I'll do it now for everybody. That's great. But I also learned that he, apparently he.

sort of co-directed dread in a way. Yeah. Which was the longstanding rumor, I think, because it sort of clashed with the actual director and then, you know. But in hindsight, it was like, that guy went through a lot of stuff, which isn't fair for him. A lot of flaws. Yeah. He said, yeah, he said by the time he got to Ex Machina.

And they were like, what an amazing directorial debut. And he's like, I've been directing. I've been doing stuff. I've been in the trenches. Yeah, man. I've been copping grenades. It's a GQ. It says Alex Garland breaks down his most iconic films. Oh, that's not it because that's only – oh, no, that's 41 minutes. That's good. That is good. That's what you want, mate.

Anyway, you were saying the first one, you know, it was the idea behind, you know, zombies make – because he – faster zombies. They did it before. Zack Snyder. He felt like there hadn't been one for a while. And then on the next one because there's a 28 – weeks later he's like i don't know it just felt more like

they're making it because and that's i think 28 weeks later is an okay film i don't think it's great he was like it's kind of like it's a sequel you know they kind of wanted it more than it came organically and this one which danny will is directing but he's written is um he says excited for it. Well, he would be because it is coming out.

That's true. Anyway, all British people living on a little island with a bridge. Yes. And every now and then they have to go out and, I don't know, collect some fruit or whatever they're doing. Sure, absolutely. Because they've got to make a Blumond. Yeah. It's got, not Morbius, it's got Craven. It sure does. Yeah, that's right. He has a name. Yeah.

I feel like Aaron Taylor Johnson. I shan't be repeating it here. Aaron Taylor Johnson. Correct. He's good for, he should, he's due for a good one. I think so too, yeah. And this looks like it could very well be it. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't, I mean, nobody liked Craig.

And I didn't think he was good in it, but I don't know whether that's anything to do with him or did the whole package. Did you think he was good in Nosferatu? I think he's pretty good in Nosferatu. I think he's good. Good day, sir. He does a lot of that stuff. I think you need one of those guys in that sort of movie.

So I think he's not due. I think he's not. Oh, he's already done one. Yeah, I think he did a good one. This could be a bad one. This could be a bad one. It's fine. There's no skin off my nose. Okay, great. Yeah, if it's a bad one, because he already had a good one. Yeah. So he's not due for a good one, in my opinion. Apparently, Killian Murphy.

It's like in this, but not, this isn't his movie. And the next one will be more focused on his character. Who's those people haven't seen it. We did a movie commentary actually on it. He's the scarecrow. He's the scarecrow. That's right. Uh, he's, he's Batman's the scarecrow. So, yeah. Was he in 20 weeks later? I can't remember.

No. Okay. He's not. Okay. Anyway, good for him for surviving 28 years. Yeah, I know, right? That must be hard. And anyway. I mean, all these people did. Yeah. This has a touch of the Mad Maxes to it. You know, it's got a real, you know, cult. There's some cult situations going on. The priest is like, I love reckoning. I love zombies. I'm getting murdered by zombies, but that's good for me, actually. Come on, man. Come on, man. It's got Jodie Comer as well and Ralph Fiennes. Great.

Is that what he got? No, he got ripped for that version of the Odyssey, didn't he? Yeah. I think he's remained quite ripped. I hope he's remained ripped. Me too. Once you got it, you got to keep it. Never back down. That's my motto. I hope he's got a persona called Remain Ripped. Yeah. And he's, you know. It's just ripped. So this is interesting. So next year there's 28. That's his wrestling character. Is it? Yeah, Romain ripped. Damn. Yeah. Hello.

Go on. That's all he's got. That's his catchphrase. Well, hello. Well, I mean, who else has that catchphrase? Is that John Cena? There's a reason for it. It's not even like it. No, it's crisp and it's precise. I guess it is. And if you say it in a way, you say it with a gravitas that Romaine Ripps slash Ralph Fiennes would say.

I can't believe you remember that nickname. I know you said it, but it just went from my mind. You could have put a gun in my head. I couldn't remember that. Well, watch it disappear from my mind by the end of the episode. Or I never forget it and it pushes out something else more valuable.

So next year at the same time. So this is coming up. It's my mum's birthday coming up. Congratulations. And she was born on Remain Ripped. Oh, no. Oh, no. I missed it. Did you, though? No, it didn't, mate. Okay. 20th of June this comes out and next year we're getting 28 years later the Bone Temple and that It's written by Alex Garland, but it's directed by Nia DaCosta. Oh, she did the Marvels. She did the Marvels. And recently she came out and she's like, I don't know, man. Yeah.

Marvel, you know? Yeah. At this point you could just go Marvel and they go, yeah. Yeah. I haven't watched it, but she did the Candyman reboot, which is apparently. Oh yeah. uh so yeah i yeah let's let's 28 days all the time so these were shot back to back and i think that one's more killian murphy

Heavy. Centric and heavy. Centric and heavy. Speaking of horror though, Mason, bloody look outside. I'm just having a quick look at this trailer. Bloody look outside. If you want to see the horror. Let me ask you this, James, just before we move on. The 28 Days Later universe, is everywhere else fine? I don't know. I know he said the initial idea of this one, and I don't know whether it's in this movie, is one of the ideas was...

And it was going to be Chinese special forces coming into the UK. Oh, to finally figure out what's going on. I think that would have been incredible. Maybe there's a bit of that in this. Well, we do have some special forces going in. I wonder if they're like, well, we can't, you know, there's a. That'd be a hell of a movie. man yeah yeah but i i suspect that is probably something along the lines of like

That won't make any money. Don't do it. Yeah, maybe. But also, I think probably the idea behind this, it might be something along the lines of shortly after, 28 months later, they walled off as much of the UK as they could. I mean, it is also an island, except for that tunnel that goes... The channel. Yes. The channel. And that happens. Actually, it's addressed in the second one. Oh. So, yeah. But I don't know whether that ties into this, et cetera. Maybe France is gone.

Maybe France is gone. But France is in an island so they could spread out through Europe. That's so true, isn't it? God, Europe. Why is it all connected? Stop doing that. Yeah, God. Be on a big hot island like us. Yeah. At least most of them have the same money or whatever. Yeah. Otherwise the pain in the ass to get around. That's true. I'm changing this into Frank.

What am I even doing? Ridiculous. Fucking Lyra. Lyra. Yeah, just have a few pineapples like us. Yeah, exactly. Have a few pineapples in the skyrocket, you know what I mean? Hell yeah, brother. Yeah, that's right. Hymn. This is a Jordan Peele producer. movie. And directed by a different guy. A different guy. I should look that up, actually. Let's not be rude. But it's about a, it's maybe a sort of a, it's a fella meets the devil kind of situation. Justin Tipping. Justin Tipping is the director.

a young man who's an aspiring sort of... He wants to do big football. He's a college athlete. He's a big college football guy. And it's like, what would you do? What would you do to become the best of the best? And he encounters what I think is meant to be a legendary...

Football player, but it's perhaps the devil in disguise. Or maybe Marlon Wayans. It's a Marlon Wayans. Or maybe he's already made that deal. Maybe it's Marlon Wayans from White Chicks. That's right. Was he in White Chicks? Yes. Was he? It was him and his brother, I think. Damon Wayans. Yeah. Okay, great.

Do you want to check that? No, it's illegal now. It's illegal to check it. Yeah, it's him and Sean Wayne, sorry. Okay, there you go. Yeah, there you go. And Terry Crews. And Busy Phillips. Oh. Oh. It's got a lot on that Busy Phillips. Dicks are the name. Yes, absolutely. Thank you. Sacrifice yourself to a demon and be good at football. You've been brought into a weird realm where weird stuff's happening.

Mostly football drills, it seems, but really violent football drills. I don't think if there's anything that I'm passionate about that I would sacrifice myself to the devil or sell this. It's a big week for that, isn't it? I was big at podcasting. That's true. Time code? Time codes. I got a guy. Yeah, but you could be better than him. Why would I want to be better than him? You just could be. Yeah, but I don't want to do it. Maybe. Yeah, that's right.

I guess I would sign that to be better at him and then not use it. But just so he knows that I'm better. I don't have to worry about it because I already got that thing from earlier. Oh, yeah. Whatever it was. Guitar. Oh, yeah. Goddamn, I'm good at that. You're a guitar hero. Yeah.

Pretty good. And then James Gunn said this week, look, there's not going to be a Superman trailer for a while. You just bloody got one. Yeah. But he tricked us. You greedy little piggies. That's what he said, because we actually got a Superman featurette, which was a look behind the scenes. at the upcoming movie. That's right. July 11th, 2025. Yeah. A lot of practical stuff, which I suspected from the trailer, but we see here like the...

The robots in the Fortress of Solitude, they're built for real. They're actually out in the snow? Yeah. The snow scenes? Love being in the snow. Would they film that? Norway? Norway? No way. But yes, something like that. We see Metamorpho. That's a real costume situation. The cape is mostly practical. Yeah, and it's got the S on the back, which I'm a big fan of. Because at the end, there's always a possibility. You take the cellophane off.

Do a cellophane throw. It's true. This trailer does three things. It says James Gunn 40 times. Correct, yes. You see James Gunn about that number of times. It's true. And he's pointing. And he goes. He's making bold choices. Yep. I'm making bold creative decisions, he says. Yeah, that's right. They also emphasize that this is a new universe.

They keep saying new universe. James Gunn keeps saying, hold fast, true believers. That's right. That's right. I can say this because he's dead now. He's dead. I can do it. That's mine now. It's mine. I took it from him. For this new universe. Yeah, and it's basically like, you know how everything sucks? Yeah. Well, this movie's good. That's right. And it's about a nice man. Yeah. Tell you what, I'm more and more in favor of this Superman costume.

as it goes. Yeah, me too. When you see it in motion, when you see David Corrin sweaty. I was never against it. Yeah, I know, but he's doing a bit of a... I was never against it. I've been an ally since day one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so when you see him moving and shaking in it. Yeah, yeah. But you see David Corrensweat and Nicholas Holt just buddying about, which looks fun. Yeah. I think their relationship's going to be good in this. I'm sad that they're not enemies in real life. Me too. Yeah.

So, you know, that's fine, I guess. It's fine, I guess. Yeah, just really looking forward to it. A lot of that. It just looks really good. And just the look of the Daily Planet and there's a moment he's sitting in a little ship at the end, which I assume is one of the – it doesn't look Kryptonian. It looks like it's – what are they called it? It's like the Fantastic Four ship. Yeah. And he's like, I'm going to crash this and ruin their movie.

I'm going to kill that guy from the bear. I don't even know his name. I don't even care. Shh. It's me, James Gunn. Shh. I'm on the set of the Fantastic Four. I'm going to burn this place to the ground. I'm making bold creative choices, one of which is to burn down the Fantastic Four set.

I think it's the Justice League. New Universe, more like only Universe left. Whoa, come on, mate. It'd be the Justice League something, whatever the version of Justice League is. Yeah, it could be a Lord Tech. Lord Tech thing. Agreed. Again, July 11th as mentioned. I hope it's really good. Me too. But I don't know. I mean, how could you know? I don't.

Star Wars news, Mason. Not just any Star Wars news, though, a bunch of Star Wars news. It's Star Wars Celebration Japan time, and you're going to like it. It's time for a bunch of flights of fantasy of imaginary series and things that will never come out. Some of this is coming out. Just them spinning a wheel and it's like, it's just a wheel with all this. It's got like animated series, comic book, movie.

video game whatever on one wheel and then it's got every character in the Star Wars universe in the second wheel and you spin them together and you go, oh, Darth Maul animated series? Yeah, we're definitely going to do that. And there's another wheel that most of the, well, there's one option that says yeah and the rest of them just say bin.

so it should be good yeah anyway it's in japan it's happening as we're recording so we might miss some stuff some i know there's some might be some video game announcements and whatever they did they showed that squad based tactical XCOM kind of game. There's going to be more of that. But don't worry if we miss something. Remember, it's not going to come out. Yeah, we don't care. Especially if it's a movie. They spun the wheel. Yeah, yeah. You know what? This one might be the one.

Because they've attached. Which one? This one, the Sean Levy. Oh, that one. Let's start with that then. Okay. This is the big one. I mean, apparently it is going to film. It's called Star Wars Starfighter. This is not to be confused with Patty Jenkins' Star Wars Top Gun movie, which isn't coming out. That's right. Which they announced with a big video.

Six years ago. When Patty Jenkins was in that fighter jet and whatever. And she went, I'm going to make Top Gun. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to strafe this small town. Yeah. With a real plane, not a Star Wars plane. No, no, no. Just a real one. Yeah. James Gunn told me to. right um so that's not happening and also i think she was like i'm gonna and then wonder woman 2 came out and also she was like i'm gonna make top gun and then top gun 2 came out i was like well that's kind of

That's kind of the one, isn't it? Patty Jenkins, you're obsessed with Top Gun and Top Gun related stuff. Get over it. I think her dad was a Top Gun. There you go. Anyway, this is from, as you mentioned, director Sean Levy, who did Deadpool versus Wolverine. He did Free Guy. that's a freaking lightsaber man so you know he's ready for this that's right he did my dad's in star wars and also that's me i'm star wars and the google boy

And the Google Boys, yeah. And some TV, probably? Yeah, something, probably. Okay. But, of course, he did a billion-dollar movie in Deadpool vs. Wolverine. That's right. And, you know, he loves IP, it seems. But you remember my dad's in Star Wars and this is Star Wars and that's a freaking lightsaber, man. Yeah, yeah. Ryan Reynolds and he went from the future but he was himself. Yeah, yeah. He was himself. But sometimes people are tired of Ryan Reynolds so you get a guy who's kind of like Ryan.

Yeah. In the form of Ryan Gosling. Ryan Gosling, that's right. He's going to star in this. And this is set five years after The Return of the Jedi. Sorry. This is five years after The Rise of Skywalker. What? Yeah. What? That's right. We're moving forward in the timeline. I don't like that. But it's before the Rey trilogy, which is definitely coming out also. No, it's real and it's not cancelled. You know, he's cancelled you. Good, finally.

Cancel from Star Wars? No. It says the one thing you have to commit to is Star Wars. I wanted to opt out of Star Wars. You can't opt out of Star Wars. Have you tried to cancel Disney Plus? No. Yeah, exactly, because you can't. Don't bother. They said, he said, this is a standalone. It's not a prequel. It's not a sequel. It's kind of a sequel. Is it a squeakquel? Yes, it is.

It's Ryan Gosling and three plucky little alien furry little creatures, and they're all in his cockpit. Yeah. And he's like, get out of here. Get off me. And they're like, we can't. We're in space, Dave. His name's Dave Starfighter. Because it's like Luke Skywalker, your regular name and then a space name. Yeah, and then a space name. Yeah, great. We can't get out of here. We'll die. But you'll also die because you're regular. I don't care. Unless you could, could you breathe in space?

Because they did it one time. Dave Starfighter. Remember they did it on an asteroid or whatever? No, yeah, and Princess Leia did it. She flew through space. She had the Force. Well, speaking of, maybe he's got the Force. It's a new adventure. It's set in a period of time that we haven't seen yet explored. Five years after a previous thing. Nice. God, I can't wait to see the second First Order. I'm excited about this.

So this is from Daniel Richman. Big scooper. Yeah, that's right. He said the pair embark on some kind of mission while being pursued by two villains, one male, one female. So the Padawan, so it's a Padawan, it's a pair. So he's a Jedi, which might mean he's the disciple of Luke Skywalker. Oh, hell yeah. Because all these men died or whatever. Remember what happened to Luke Skywalker's mates? They all died. Because he had a little fortress and Kylo Ren.

Killed them all or whatever. Was that in a dream sequence? No, it happened in the movies. I don't remember that. Remember Kylo Ren killed all these... He burnt down the Jedi Temple. I remember the burning down of the Jedi Temple. I just didn't know there were any guys in there. No, he wasn't upset because the building burnt down. Oh, interesting.

All my knickknacks. Yeah. All my knickknacks I'd collected. All my wooden books. Right? Which is what they do in Star Wars. All my wooden books and holocrons. The Padawan's mother also plays... That's like collecting DVDs and also like Laserdisc. Yeah. Wooden books and holocrons. the padawan's mother also plays an important role in the story and there's another major female character as well

You're flying pretty close to the sun there, Disney. You're not wrong, Mason. More than one female character. I mean, you said to me, finally, a Star Wars for men. That's what you said. I did say that, yes. For a white man. Yeah, that's right. Since it's got a significantly smaller budget and a more constrained story. So I know they say it's a standalone. We'll see. We will see. Depending on how well this comes out. Maybe the original script.

Maybe the original concept is a standalone, but once bloody Kathleen Kennedy gets her claws in, you know what I mean? Let's put some Luke Skywalker in there. Let's put some Harrison Ford in there. He'll be back. No, he's dead. Yeah, no, but Harrison Ford's still alive. No, he's dead in real life. I'm calling it now. I reckon it's going to happen before this episode comes out. Damn. I was just looking if Ryan Gosling has ever done a sequel and I don't know.

Is the Grey Man a sequel to anything? Is there a better movie than the Grey Man that came before the Grey Man? I mean, there is, but it's not said in the same universe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're thinking of...

The only thing I can think of is he did that Papyrus Avatar sketch twice. He did, that's true, yeah. So I guess technically he does do sequels to some of his Saturday Night Live sketches. And he worked with the Drive director on another movie, but they aren't there. Only God. Only God. Only God. Let us. Chop your hands off. Chop your hands off. I wasn't going to spoil it. If you haven't seen that movie by now. Yeah. You don't even know what it is. Yeah. Don't worry about it.

What's that guy's name? Nicholas Winding. Oh, you're Windings. Yep, absolutely. I knew he had a funny name. You did. What's interesting about this is, well, a number of things. First of all, Star Wars. Second of all, it comes out May 28th of 2027. In that month on May 7th is when Avengers Secret Wars comes out. Oh. So this is off the back of that. Okay. Which could be good or bad depending on how either of these go. So they're setting up a Star Wars to run against a secret.

I mean, three weeks after, but yeah, basically. You've got to get out there. So true. So true, Mason. I think this one is happening because it's... That could be the slogan for the movie as well. Starfighter, you've got to get out there. I think they said it's filming in fall in the US. So, you know. Get me off of this crazy thing. Hey, Dave. They're all in his cockpit. They're all in his cockpit. Hey, Dave Starfighter. We've got to get to the Jedi Temple.

Because you're friends with Luke Skywalker and you're his son. Agreed? Yep. And it's Father's Day. It's Star Wars Father's Life Day. That's right. Now, here's something that's even more coming out. It's called The Mandalorian vs. Grogu. That is coming out. That's May 22nd of next year. Okay. There is a leaked trailer which you can find online. That's right. Some of us watched it. If you're a pirate. If you're a pirate, which I'm not, but we watched it.

scum of the earth we had to watch it i had to do it for our jobs exactly we didn't want to yeah yeah yeah Can the coal miner refuse to mine the coal? No, he cannot. No, he cannot. We're merely a cog in the means of production. That's so true, isn't it? Mason. We've got to seize that means of production. I'm tired. I got it. Put that down. You picked up the podcast mic, everybody. Don't touch that. Fun little visual gag there.

For the rest of the episode, my audio is just going to be like. But that's seizing the means of production, man. I think so too. So it opens with The Mandalorian and Groglet. They're storming and. No, no, no, no, James. It doesn't start with that. It starts with a number of.

stormtroopers in some sort of structure. Room or something. They're in there. They're on high alert. There's all the stormtroopers you like. There's regular stormtroopers. There's snow stormtroopers. There's stormtroopers with a snow mask thing. There's other guys. There's a guy and he's just got the dark helmet helmet and he's like...

secure your positions, et cetera, you know? That guy's there. A guy comes in who... No, no, no, no, James, you're ahead of us here. Then there's a door there. Yeah. And you're like... Who's in there? Well, I mean, I would assume nobody. I would assume they'd pan to the door and then pan back to the men. But they don't. But then the bloody door comes open and who's there? The Mandalorian. And he can't be shot. He's got that indestructible armour on, which really...

sap some of the tension from the scene because he does a sort of a corridor walk. It's an interesting shot idea because you sort of pan all the way through. You pan all the way through the stormtroopers and then the door blasts open and you pan all the way back. Mandalorian cutting a swath but again it would seem more dangerous if he didn't have that indestructible

whatever armor it is that he has. The best car armor. Yeah, that's right. And you're like, damn, he's doing some moves, but he could just as easily not do any moves. Yeah, he wouldn't have to do anything. Barely have to move.

And then we see Groglet. He's swimming around, isn't he? You see him using the force. People are loving it. He's dodging a wheel. Sigourney Weaver isn't loving it. She was like, stop trying to do that. Yeah, stop it. She's in this. So apparently she acts as the go-between between him and... The New Republic. Is Werner Herzog in this? No, he's dead. He died before this episode came out. Oh, yeah. Yeah, all right, boom.

Is he dead? He's not dead, is he? The actor. Yeah. The actor-director, Werner Herzog. Yeah. He's alive. Thank God. Did you listen to his audio book? No. It's great. What's it about? Sad stuff. Yeah, I was going to say, how much sad stuff is it about? What's it called again? Oh, it's called... Hang on, I'll find it for you. I'm sad. Stop looking at me. No, I've mentioned it before. Hang on. His autobiography is called...

Every man for himself and God against all. That's brilliant. I love that. That's what it's called, yeah. Here's a quote from him. He's a wrestling heel for a while. Did you know that? He's what? He was a wrestling heel for a while. I believe that. Like a local wrestling group. That's incredible.

Here's a quote from Innocence from Google AI. It's called Sad Werner. Wow. Civilization is like a thin layer of ice upon a deep ocean of chaos and darkness. Classic. Now do it in a Werner Herzog voice. Hey, boys. Civilization? It's like a thin layer of ice. Civilization. What is it again? Give me the line. Civilization is like a thin layer of ice upon a deep ocean of chaos. Civilization. I can't. I don't have to read it. Yeah. Do you want to read it? Yeah, I'll read it.

Civilization is like a thin layer of ice upon a deep ocean of chaos and darkness. Chapter one, by me, Werner Herzog. Well, it says you have to outsmart it to out-gut it to out-number it to out-film them. And then that's what you have to do. Okay. I don't know. Those are different quotes though. Yeah.

Great. We see the Razor Quest, which is back. It's been rebuilt. Which is good because, like, I don't think it's rebuilt. He probably just got a new one. Oh, yeah. I didn't like that little stash it'd be had. How does he go to the toilet? And the Razor Crest is all toilets. It's mostly toilets. We saw up in the first episode of The Mandalorian, it's got a toilet in it.

We've also got Jabba the Muscles in this. Did you see that? So this is Jeremy Allen White. Yeah, his name's... Does he say anything or does he just go wrong? What's his name? The Bear. Durga or something? No. But yeah, he's in the comics and stuff. He looks like he's in an arena. I was hoping for Ty. but you can't have everything. You really can't. Yeah, look, if we didn't have that season, that last one, but also some of that in the book of Boba Fett where they resolved a bunch of stuff.

Yeah. Honestly, it looks fun. If they'd just done, and obviously they can't do this because the Star Wars machine has to keep rolling forever, but if they just did the first season of The Mandalorian, which was fun cowboy stuff. you know, a traveling cowboy and he goes to a different town every week and he solves a problem.

And then there was a bit of nothing. And then this trailer hit. And you're like, who's behind the door? And it's the Mandalorian. Everybody's like, ah! You poop your pants. Like you're in a Star Wars ship without a toilet. Exactly. But because there was just...

They had to put Luke Skywalker in it and they had to connect all the dots and stuff. I'm like, I'm not excited. And it built to Ahsoka, the TV series, which they're also probably going to talk about and celebrate. Oh, and what's his name's in it? The gorilla man. Werner Herzog? No, Mason. He died. What's his name? Dregs. Dregs. No. Chip? No. What the fuck's his name? He's in Rebels. Zeb! Zeb, okay, right. Big Zeb. I mean, he's been in other...

Expanded Universe Filoni's cowboy hat stuff. Right, okay. This is the cowboy hat era of Star Wars, mate. Absolutely it is. And you're excited for it? Nope. Do you think The Mandalorian would look cool if he wore a cowboy hat over his regular helmet? And it's not a Beskar cowboy hat. It's just like a regular cowboy hat.

Maybe. Remember how cool Timothy Olyphant looked? He did. Did he have a cowboy hat though? No, I don't think he did. You're thinking of that blue skin guy with the red eyes. Oh, yeah. Yeah, he had a cowboy hat, didn't he? Cowboy hat, yeah. God, let's get out of here. I don't know. Look, I'm going to go into this pretending most of...

The Mandalorian doesn't exist. I don't think that's going to be a problem for you. No. So at least one and a half seasons plus the Boba Fett stuff. Yeah. Forget that exists and I'll just go into this. With the attitude of it's a little lone wolf and cub, little cowboy adventure. Yep. I'm all in. So the other thing is there was an announcement of an animated series.

called Maul's Shadow World. It's set five years after Return of the Jedi, which is interesting because that's when he died. He was dead long before that. That's true. No, it's set one year after Clone Wars, which would be in the era where...

an empire. And Robot Lakes. And Robot Lakes. He already has those. He builds up an underground. The Crimson. Crimson whatever. I don't know. That's a different one, I think. Okay. He's in Solo and he goes, remember me? Because he's in the Crimson. Oh, is he the Crimson Man? Crimson Dawn? Yeah, that's right. He's like, look at me holding my lightsaber on this telephone call. Yeah. Anyway, it leads up until he gets poor and then Obi-Wan stabs him.

Which happens in another Star Wars thing. Sam Witwer will return as Darth Maul and not Peter Serafinowich, who played original Darth Maul's voice. This is going to be 2026. Okay, then. More animated stuff.

We're in the cowboy hat era. We didn't know that. That is true. Animated Star Wars, Clone Wars, Rebels, Ahsoka stuff. That's true. So you're excited for this? No. Do you know Jon Favreau's directing The Mandalorian versus Groglet? No, I didn't know that. Well, now you know. That's terrific. Yeah. Also, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy. Boo! You're indifferent. I am, it's true. Confirmed that six...

other previously revealed Star Wars films were still going ahead. Not true. This includes whatever James Mangold was working on. It was like a Force Origins Jedi movie. Okay. I guess the Simon Kinberg Ray trilogy. I guess James Mangold is back in because Indiana Jones failed, but then he did a complete unknown. and that was a big hit that's true so he's back on

Yeah. And you liked Indiana Jones 5. No. And you said it was going to be your most anticipated movie of the year and then you were a bit embarrassed when it wasn't. You're thinking of you. Even though you knew in your heart it wasn't. You're thinking of you. You're thinking of you. You're thinking of you. I never said that. You said it every week. You said it every week on this podcast.

You're going to have to do a lot of quick editing to remove all your claims. No, you're not even going to go and look at them, so I don't mind. She also specifically mentioned Taika Waititi's Star Wars film, and she's like, oh, he's on his own kind of timeline, you know. Let me be clear.

Taika Waititi's Star Wars movie. And moving on. That's what you said. Yes, that's right. Which of those are going to go ahead? I think we will see the Rey trilogy. I don't know whether it's going to be anytime soon. But I think we're eventually going to get... It's going to say 7, 8, 9. We did that. 10, 11, 12. Or it might be a new Jedi Order series or something. I don't know. Do you want to keep numbering these?

I could do it. I know you could, but do you think it's good for the brand to be like Star Wars 10? No, absolutely not. Do you think anybody's excited to see Star Wars 10? No. star wars episode 10 i think people the rise of the force power i think the next one will be the next star wars 10 will will not have a number on it people will informally call it star wars 10 yeah

They'll be like, it's the start of a new trilogy or whatever. This is a new era for Star Wars. It's set five years after Return of the Jedi. They've learned from Mission Impossible and et cetera. Don't put a number in it. You stupid idiots. You stupid idiots. Yeah. I don't know, maybe you leave it long enough and then the people who grew up on the new trilogy i mean that was 10 years ago that first one came out so they're already here they're already at your work mate

Oh, no. Yeah. So, you know, maybe then you could. How excited were people for Episode 7? And you remember it was 10 years ago. I remember vaguely, yeah. It wasn't last year. No. It was 10 years ago. Wow. Yeah, wow. And that's all the Star Wars news we have for now. You okay with that? I'm okay with that. I wish I had more.

Do you want me to quickly check? I wish you had more too because I could do with a bloody quick nap. I'll tell you that much, mate. A quick nap in the studio. You can take a nap. Nobody's going to mind. Okay. I'll just crumple up this energy drink can and use it as a pillow. Also, I should mention that that Star Wars movie, the Sean Levy one, no, the Mandalorian one, that is also coming out, that's coming out May 22nd of next year, which is...

Three weeks after Avengers Doomsday. Yeah, you mentioned that. Did I? No, I said that for the other one. I said that for Secret Wars. Oh, no. They're doing it twice. They're both doing it. Okay. No more Disney December Star Wars movies, Mason. That's Avatar time. I guess it is. That's Avatar time, fellas. Put it away. It's time for big movie. Big movie time. That's right. Big movie talk about time. It might just be, Mason. Big movie talk about time. Here it is. Here it is right now. Sinners.

which is Ryan Coogler's latest movie on a budget of between $900 to $100 million. $900 to $100 million. Sorry, $90 to $100 million. We're going that way, are we? We're going backwards. You know, man, I don't know. Bad news up front. This might have cost $900 million. Good news. Might have cost as little as $100 million. That's probably more likely. But look, realistically, it's probably somewhere in the middle. That's so true, isn't it? The box office for this.

It's looking like it's going to have a 45 to 50 US opening. That's pretty good. It's pretty good for an R rated movie. And that's also conservatively looking at like the early tracking. It might be a little bit more than that.

Not to brag, but I bought my ticket. I didn't even check what the rating was. No? No. What's the brag here when you said not to brag? If it was a brag, what would that look like? Didn't even have to worry about whether it was an MA or not. You didn't have to show your ID. That's exactly right. Didn't have to worry about it. I don't know how you walk around, Mason. Yeah. Just in your own body and mind. Hell yeah.

Again, great outcome for an R-rated movie. How will it fare the next few weeks? We don't know yet. Probably pretty well. We don't live in the future. I feel like this one will kind of tick along nicely for a while. I don't know that for a fact. But of course, what do you think the story was? Oh, come on, mate. Yeah, this is the bit where you tell us what the story's about, but you can't do too many spoilers. Okay. Like the spoiler that's in the trailer, which I didn't watch.

I thought you did. No, but I assumed what I thought the spoiler was going to be. Yeah, it's what happens. All right, so it's set in the 1930s. Yep. And there's two brothers, the Smokestack twins, Smoke and Stack. And you might be like, are they really brothers? No, it's one man. In real life. In real life, it's both Michael B. Jordan and Michael C. Jordan. That's correct, yes. They were army boys, but then they came back from the army. They went up to Chicago.

To do some honest, good entrepreneurship. Yep. But now they're back in their hometown, which I think is Mississippi. Yeah. Which is a small town. That's right. It's a small town of Mississippi. Mm-hmm. And they've got a bunch of money and a bunch of booze, a bunch of illegal booze. And they're going to use that money to open up a juke joint. That's right. And everybody's so happy to see them. Yeah. Especially all their ex-lovers.

Yeah, they love that. Who are very mad at them. And the people they shoot, who they used to know. That's right. And some new friends they're going to shoot. They're going to shoot some new people. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. but they've got a new, they've got a new pal. They're, they're a little cousin. Yep. Sammy. Sammy. And he has, he's, he's a, he's a sharecropper, but he's also, he's a, he's a guitar playing man, but he's so good.

And they say legend has it if you're so good at playing the guitar, like me, James, as we've established. That was foreshadowing earlier. It wasn't just a coincidence. that if you're so good at playing guitar in somebody's house playing Wonder Woman. Yeah. And you don't want to do that. No, it's good. It's good. Everyone's like, wow, this is transcending space and time. Oh yeah, that's true. But also someone's going to show up who's crook. Yeah, that's right.

Like, what's this? I want to get involved. And no spoilers, but that happens because otherwise there wouldn't be a movie. No. Otherwise it would be called Good Guitar Man. Good Guitar Man. That's right. The movie. The movie. Yeah. And Grogu. And Grogu versus Grogu.

Who's from the past. Yeah. If we can be clear. That's right. He's from the past. So this is, I mean, this is in the trailers. This is also a vampire movie. Correct, yes. Which you might forget for a large portion of this movie because it's... It's really, it's kind of like two movies, I guess.

And I think it balances both of those very well. I saw someone say this is like a, we're going back to a classic sort of 90s genre film. There's a bit of From Dusk Till Dawn about this as well. Yeah. Because that's a movie about.

gangsters and whatnot. That turns into a vampire movie. There's a snake vampire woman in it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, and the strongest element of this, I would say, and this isn't... to take away from anything else is the music in this is fucking incredible yeah yeah yeah it's uh the the music supervisors ludwig gohansen yeah who's done a bunch of other stuff he did the mandalorian theme did he yeah he did is that the one that goes Yes. What else has he done?

Oh, he did Fruitvale Station, which was another Ryan Coogan movie. He did Creed and Creed 2. Yep. He did Tenet. Yep. So, you know, he's all over the place. Black Panther movies. He did Oppenheimer. Yep. Yeah, he's got an incredible. Filmography. Discography. And you'd hope so because this is a movie about music. Primarily. And at a certain point it just becomes all about the music. You forget about the vampires. Yeah.

But even though they haven't forgotten. No. And they're hanging around. They're ready to do some vampire stuff. There's one particular sequence, which I guess I won't fully spoil, where... Sammy's playing the guitar and singing and they mention how music kind of transcends space and time and you can summon spirits from both the past

present and the future. Yeah. And you get that in one shot. Vanilla rice is there. Vanilla rice, yeah. Vanilla rice is there. Eminem is there. Benson Boone arrives. Yeah, that's right. He does a flip. Benson Boone does a flip. Who else is there? Imagine Dragons are there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everlast is there. Yep. Maroon 5. Maroon 5 show up. Exactly. All the greats, you know what I mean? You know?

Yeah, but it weaves throughout these different styles and genres of music in this one shot. Machine Gun Kelly. I, you know, I don't know how else to explain that sequence other than like I could feel it. Does that make sense? Like you could, I could literally feel it in my body. It was. I don't I don't think I've had it's called music it is but it's not just that I don't think I've experienced like a moment like that watching anything ever wow yeah so that I was just hmm

Oh, and there's vampires. There is vampires. A great cast, obviously, the Michael B. Jordans. Yep, there's Michael B. Jordan and Michael C. Howe. Miles Caton is Sammy Moore, who's their little cousin. Great. Haley Steinfeld. Yeah, so Haley Steinfeld is in this. She is a... She is a...

She's a white passing black woman because her grand... father is half black i think yeah which is true of hayley seinfeld in real life yes that's right which i learned this week um very good and she is the she is the woman that stack left behind yeah so they they came back from the war they came back to mississippi and then they

They both built lives and then they just left to do gangster stuff in Chicago and now they're back. Cool stuff, get cool suits. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wumi Masako is Smoke's Lost Love. She plays Annie. She's also, she's B-15. Oh, she is, of course. Yeah. She's great in this. She's really great. Yeah. We get a Delroy Lindo appearance. Amazing. Incredible. Always amazing. He's a guy who's, he's an alcoholic and he's, he's, he's an incredible bluesman. He's a bluesman and he's, he's.

you know, done a, done a kind of a, a low paying gig for years and years. And he gets the opportunity to, to do the first night of this dupe joint for, for, for a lot of money and beer and beer. And he's going to take that chance. Yeah. Yeah. Good cast. Omar Benson Miller's great. Jack O'Connor plays one of the vampires. Yeah. It's just, it's amazing. They're all, everyone's very good. If I had any complaints. Go on. I don't. Wow. They're all good. Yeah.

If you had any complaints, you're an ally, so you wouldn't voice them, would you? No, I wouldn't either way, yeah. I also think in terms of the... I like the vampire stuff in this because they don't try and do a... like a scientific explanation for, and there is a place of that. And I liked that, but they're just like,

These are magic vampires. Yeah. They don't like garlic. If they want to get inside, they have to be invited. They've got this kind of shared collective consciousness kind of memory situation. I thought it was very like a very sort of traditional vampire. We can sort of fly. but they had its sort of modern elements. I like the fact that so much of this movie seems to...

a lot of it is a transcending space and time thing. The shared consciousness thing feels like a modern thing, but a lot of the, you know, having to be invited, that feels like an old thing. Yeah. I think also it's really interesting because they've got that kind of shared consciousness. It's not vampiric in the sense that if you kill the one who bit you, that you'll turn back into a person. It's just...

I mean, presumably this like branch of vampirism goes back to Vlad the Impaler or whatever. Yeah, maybe. So there's no kind of... Brad the Impaler. Thank you. There's no going back to that. And a lot of what they do is to get people on board and... is there's this thing around them and music and targeting specific artistic people because that enhances their abilities. And it seems as if they've also, they've all have, they themselves have a history of music and song.

Who knows how long that even goes back. So they're collecting those kind of stories. And what I liked about them is that they were, they had quite a compelling argument. Yeah. Because they're not racist. They're all predominantly white, but. This is like it's Prohibition era. It's Jim Crow era. Black people and white people aren't supposed to consort together. The Klan is still around even though they say they're not. And these vampires are like.

You know, if you could use this to fight back against the clan, we could all be in it together kind of thing. It was very, yeah, like class consciousness. Absolutely. And I thought initially, and I think there's an element of like, oh, they're bullshitting. They don't believe this. But I think they do. I think it's a way for you to incentivize people to either invite them in or you go out. Sees the means of production. It seems if they do believe in that kind of...

in a fucked up way that, you know, that kind of, I don't know, unionizing. Yeah, they were unionizing. Yeah. And there's this element of, we talked about this before we recorded, what did you call it, the opposite of Buffy in terms of.

vampirism oh in in the buffy universe when somebody is turned into a vampire their soul is destroyed and sort of uh sort of sent out into the you know in tiny little fragments out of the universe so it's kind of gone but in this if somebody is transformed into a vampire their soul is trapped the body so which is bad that's bad i think sometimes it's pretty cool though You can do some cool stuff. Good action sequences. Good action sequences.

It's pretty gory. But I think even when the action isn't happening, just the two boys heading back to the... The camera work in this... Yeah. I've written something down. Who have I got here? Hang on. I wrote down the name of the cinematographer, Autumn Dural. I saw an interview with her and Ryan Coogler and they were talking about they're inspired by the thing, there will be blood, the last emperor. You can see that. There's some of the shots in this.

There is. I mean, there is certainly as well, you know, just plot-wise, there are some elements of the thing. Yeah. There's a moment where we have to, like, learn, you know, the vampires can't enter, you know, a building without being invited. One's already in there. One's already in there. Maybe somebody's been turned into a vampire in the building and so they had to kind of do an eat a garlic test. Yeah. You know.

so there's you know there's there is certain there are there are some small i like that there were small elements of what has come before but like just a bunch of yeah just new stuff you know i liked also because there's there's a witchcraft element to as well where like there's There is like a level of like protection you can get in terms of hexes. Yeah, because smoke. partner Annie or former flame Annie she has some sort of

She has some old world mysticism and kind of she'll... And he doesn't believe that. No. Well, he doesn't believe it, but he has carried a kind of... Yeah, a hex bag. A totem with him, you know, throughout the war and throughout his... his chicago adventures yeah that seems to have protected him also

Pretty sexy, you know? The movie. Yeah. Yeah. Not voodoo. No, not the voodoo stuff. But I'm saying in terms of like it doesn't. I think we are getting back to that era of like putting sex in movies. Yeah. But it doesn't feel like it's just like, oh, look at this. What happened to those? Family values, you know. Yeah. On which we used to rely, et cetera. Very good. But I think there's the way this is placed in the movie, I think.

It's good. It's good, isn't it? Yeah. It's good. Sexy movies are back, Mason. Well, I mean, but also, you know, anything vampire. some element of horniness to it. It's true. Twilight. Yeah, absolutely. Twilight 2. So hornies, though the horniest movies. Twilight 3, the horniest Twilight. That's right. Maybe. I don't know. Which is, yeah, they're all good.

They're all good. Yeah. Great costuming. I think so too. The period era. Yeah. Costumes are phenomenal. I agree. I think also. It's mostly a little sportier. stack he is i think also a flat cap on he does and a wristwatch yeah those two together i i yeah i i notice this a lot in the flash which is also a warner brothers production when there's two ezra millers on screen I could pick the face replacement or one was often CGI and I found that really distracting. There's not a second of this.

Because it seems as if, and I don't know how they did it specifically, but they used like body doubles, face replacement, probably deep face. Obviously, the person who doubled for Michael B. Jordan looked enough like him where if you did a face replacement, it's...

It's not super noticeable if they did deep fakes. Although if we haven't seen the behind the scenes, maybe he looks nothing like him. Maybe they're just the same. I just mean like you just kind of need to get the basic structure of a person. Think about this. Sinners, Mickey 17, The Monkey, and that Robert De Niro movie. Everybody's twins. That's true. It's a big year for twins movies. Is it because the technology is way cheaper now to do it?

I guess. Or maybe they only have to pay an actor one and a half times. Yeah, that might be it. That might be it. I also thought that they really, aside from the costuming, they did a good job of... making the two brothers distinct i was never like which one is this one again and it wasn't just in the costuming it was also it was a lot of it was performance and attitude and the way it was written stacks more of a wheeler dealer yeah

Smoke is a little down on the whole idea when you really drill down into it. But Stack is like, yeah, we've got to make it. Absolutely. I'm going to go around and shoot people in the butt to make this happen. And he's going to make it happen. Should we do some spoilers? Let's do some spoilers. Yeah, good. Action. I wouldn't say...

Yeah, action is certainly very good. I would say there's brief bursts of action. There is, yeah. It's not an action movie. No. Most of it is character work and set-up and music and dance, and then there's... There's probably maybe 10 minutes of action in this entire thing, which is fine. But it hits hard. It really doesn't overstay. It's welcome.

It comes and it goes. And there's also an action sequence at the end where it's like, oh, I didn't think this was going to happen. And that was a lot of fun. And I'm like... Yeah, if you can squeeze it in. If the budget stretches to this. Because there's a bit in the trailer where I'm like, oh, that hasn't happened yet. Where he's firing the Tommy guard. No, you're going to get it. Best movie ever.

Great. Loved it. Best movie ever. I mean, we'd heard it was good and it was. And it had me leaving the theater and go, wow, movies are good. Yeah. Because, you know, we recently saw the Minecraft movie and even though you said it was the best movie ever. I didn't say that. I said it was bad. Yeah. Also, this movie, not attached to a franchise or anything, but it does have a mid-credits and a post-credits. It does, yeah. So stick around for those. I mean, I think the mid-credits...

It just leads straight into it. It doesn't really stop. And also the mid-credits is... It's very important to the movie. So absolutely stay. It's not just a whatever. So I wonder why that... I don't know. I mean, I would imagine...

Knowing nothing about Ryan Coogler but having watched some videos about the production of this and et cetera, maybe it's just because he wanted people to stick around and watch the credits and see who was involved in making it. That seems like the most logical thing. Yeah. I don't know. But we all stuck around. We did. Anyways, spoilers.

I mean, it's heavy on death. Sure is, yeah. Most people die. Almost everybody dies, yeah. I mean, all get turned into a vampire and then most of those vampires die. Yeah. A couple survive and, of course, Sammy lives too. I was going to say the modern day. He lives to at least 1992. So, yeah, yeah, yeah. Which we'll talk about the –

I loved how, so is it Jack O'Connell who plays Remick, who's the main vampire, who we first see, he's been turned into a vampire at some point and then he's being chased by Native. Yeah, they know what he is. Native American. vampire hunters yeah and then he you know he goes to a Convinces a couple. A couple who are clan members to give him sanctuary. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then he turns them into vampires.

But I love how over the course of the movie he keeps transforming and getting weirder. Yeah. Like his claws keep getting longer. Yeah. And, you know. But he can kind of, he can switch it on. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know. Do you think he's. Do you think he was a modern-ish one, or do you think he was from... Where do you think he's from? Oh, like he's not from like hundreds of thousands of years. Yeah.

Like European peasant, maybe. Oh, okay. I don't know. But also because they've got this shared collective memory. It's impossible to know. It doesn't matter. You don't know. Because there's a... There's a, the Chow, there's a couple of the Chows and they're like Delta Chinese. immigrants and they run the local general store and they are turned into vampires at a certain point. And then suddenly everybody knows how to speak Chinese. Yeah, exactly.

So, yeah, after they do all the vampire stuff, and everybody seems to be dead except one of the Michael B. Jordans. Uh-huh, yeah. There's a Klan massacre. Yeah. So at the very start of the movie, the Smokestack Twins show up in Mississippi again and there's an old sawmill and they have enough cash.

from their misadventures in Chicago to Dubai. Oh, they also got their money by robbing the Irish and the Italians. That's correct, yes. And the idea is that the Irish and Italians think the other ones did it. Yeah, right. So they made out. And they probably would have got caught at some point, I assume. Yeah. That's the implication. Yeah. Sorry, go on. And they purchased it from this guy who...

they suspect has have clan affiliations or at least like this guy seems like a racist, which it would be in that era. Uh, and they're like, this is all the money you're ever going to get from us. Don't come back. Yeah, if you come back, we'll shoot you. Yeah, and he's like, oh, no, but he will. And he comes right at the end. He comes back with all this stuff. So this is the, you know, the...

The sawmill is overrun with vampires. You know, the remaining good guys fight back. You know, everybody is... Yes, smoke seemingly kills Stack, but we don't see it happen. But we realize that they actually made a deal. Yeah. Stack has to leave, but he can never go near Sammy ever again. Yeah. You can't try and turn him into a vampire. But anyway, it's all over. Michael B. Jordan, who's left. Can't even roll a goddamn cigarette. Smoke survives till daytime.

all the vampires that are pursuing him get stuck. Oh, and they told him also as part of the negotiations to join him that... The clan were coming the next day to kill them all. Yeah, that's right. So you probably should get turned into a vampire. And they do. They all show up. They do show up. But luckily, the Smokestack Twins had foreseen this and they foreshadowed a big trunk of stuff in the back of his truck, which contains a bunch of cool army guns and stuff. Yep. Big Tommy gun. And he just.

Kills like 40 of them. Like a big light machine gun and he just lays waste to them and it's super fun. Yeah. It's so fun. It's very like Tarantino kind of. Yeah. There's a real satisfying kind of. Yeah. And it's. It kind of feels like, not that it doesn't belong. That's the wrong word. You don't need it, I guess, but it's a real satisfying kind of conclusion, not only to his story, but just...

I don't know, just kind of that world and that era. Uh-huh. Yeah. And he obviously, he doesn't survive it. Uh-huh. He could have. He could have ducked behind that, like Baylor Hay or whatever. Yeah. But I mean, he did pretty well. He threw that hand grenade in that guy's truck. Yeah, that was very funny. That was very funny. But yeah, he gets shot in the gut and he's on the way out.

And he dies. Yeah. He does machine gun that guy, though. He does machine gun that guy. And then he sees Annie, his former love, and their child that didn't survive. And he's like, well, I'm going to heaven, probably. I'm going to heaven. Yeah. Because you would, because after you've seen the vampires, you'd be like, oh, yeah. Yeah. I guess all things are possible. I guess things are real. And I did kill all those clan people, so I should go to heaven for that.

Yeah. But then, post mid-credits, we cut to 1992. Oh, I just wanted to quickly say, because all the vampire people disappear, I guess what that would have looked like was a clan massacre. yeah right and they disappeared all the bodies and i guess sammy who's left who's got like a big vampire scratch down his face i guess it would have just assumed that he was the only survivor of

this clan massacre that happened. Yeah, right. And I guess that's how they kind of explained it away. I don't really know. Yeah. Anyway, sorry, go on. Cuts to 1992. Sammy's still alive, but now he's Buddy Guy, actual bluesman. Yeah. And he's performing in a club and who should rock up but two very 1990s-looking.

Stack and Mary, at least Steinfeld. And they're like, hey, man, what's been happening? You're cool. Yeah, you're cool. You're cool. What's been happening the last 60 years? We got all your music. We think it's cool. We think it's cool, actually. Yeah. Yeah, just letting you know. Yeah. I thought that was also interesting. Well, first of all, Michael B. Jordan wearing the best.

90s Coogee sweater. Oh, my God. That's an Australian original. Is it really? Coogee sweaters are Australian. I didn't know that. Haven't you seen me wear those weird sweaters I wear sometimes? I just thought, I don't know, I didn't know what you were doing. Yeah, nobody does, man. No, they're good sweaters. That is one of the best I've ever seen. honestly. Yeah, it's great. Fiery red and orange. Little glasses. I hope they reissued that one. I don't know where they got it. But they're like...

They just sort of reminisce. Yeah. They're like, honestly, it was one of the best nights we've ever had. It was rat as hell. It was rat as hell. Like, it was really scary, but also it was pretty cool. Like, Sammy's like, yeah, I mean, before all the Vampire Massacre stuff happened. It's the best day of my life. I got laid. It was rad. That's right. I mean, she died. I got to play music. I got to meet Eminem. Yeah. I got to be Sugar Ray. So I also thought...

I got a preview of all star by smash. They were there. I just assumed that, I don't know that they didn't have like the vampires didn't have their own agency. Yeah. Right. But I guess they do. Cause like, I guess that the bond between those brothers is stronger than. whatever vampire law. Yeah, I guess so. And they offer to convert him into a vampire. He's like, no, I'm good. Yeah. I don't want that. Yeah. And then there is a post post credits where. I'll be honest. I did think. I did think.

hayley steinfeld's character did die i thought you But I guess she lived. No, she ran off. Did she? You see footage of it as well. Oh, okay. Yeah. All right. Good on her. Yeah, I said good on her too. But yeah, then there's a post post credits and it's Sammy playing, playing music or whatever. Back in the day. Back in the day. I've got some reviews here. Would you like to hear about it? I would love to hear about it. It's from the Planet Broadcasting Great Mates group. Oh, yes.

It's from Heather Ringman who says, I saw it and I liked it. They're good performances, great costumes and fantastic music sequences. There are some strangers with the script. Like I wondered if there would be some things in the longer version of the movie that were cut out. But overall, I thought it was fun and I hope a lot of people go to see it. Fidel Reyes, Mason says. Oh, yes. You know Fidel. Friend of ours. Exactly.

Ryan Coogler is one of those directors whose work I'll go out of my way to go support. Sinners in particular was worth the trip. It was beautiful to look at and all the performers brought their A game. I really enjoyed Michael B. Jordan's performance, but I think I preferred Michael B. Jordan. performance. Nice. Alexis Gentry over at Trashway. Check her out. Amazing. Sinners might be my fave of the year so far.

Maybe. It's pretty good. It might be mine, yeah. This and Black Bag, definitely out there. Yep, sexy. Yep. Oh, yeah, being sexy in movies is back. Paul Spooner says- It's always been sexy in podcasts. It's true. They're finally borrowing something. yeah but don't look at it just listen to our voices that's right

Paul Spooner says, wanted to love this, but it never fully clicked for me. Performances all around are great. The script held it back for me. Some of the melodrama between characters seemed hokey. Mitchell Hall says, genuinely one of the most enjoyable movies I've seen in cinemas recently. Everyone's acting is great. The visuals were great. The music is fantastic. Don't make the same mistake as most of the cinema I saw on State for the whole credit. So I guess people were walking out.

Shouldn't have done it. So that's all the reviews. Yes. This is from Vulture though. There's an article which I think is worth discussing where they did a kind of deep dive into Ryan Coogler's deal with this movie. I was going to read it but then it was like... You've used up all your free articles this month. And I went to look at it again and they've taken it down. But I don't know, maybe it's back up by now. But apparently Ryan Coogler gets full ownership of this movie in 2050.

Huh. So in 25 years. Yes. Apparently anonymous Hollywood sources are calling it very dangerous. as well as to say it could be the end of the studio system. Good riddance, I say. Coogler has said that he considers the ownership deal a one-off, rooted at least in part in Sinder's focus on themes of black artists' ownership of their own culture. I don't think if he can...

Get away with it. I wouldn't make this a one-off. If you can make this part of your business. I mean, there's famous examples of people who they created an IP or a character and they don't own it. Like Stallone. I've never heard of one. Stallone, for example, created Rocky, but it is owned by. some family or some guy and i understand like i i get the point that like

Yeah, he did it through somebody else's financing. I understand that. But he can't even be co-owner of this character and franchise. Like the amount of money that something like that has made. This might happen with... creator-owned, creator-funded projects. I think Passion of the Christ is an example where Malcolm put up his own money for that, so he owns Jesus Christ. Oh, that's great. Yeah.

Finally, somebody owns that. I'm tired of all these public domain, Jesus Christ, out there. Tarantino, also, this is a similar deal where he gets the rights to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood in like 20 or so years. Okay, right. 80 plus by then whenever this happens but it's more the principle of the thing i think so i don't see any problem i mean if you can you know

And what's the alternative? Like the studio gets it. Like whose side do they think people will be on in this? And again, I understand the mechanics of making a movie and the finance of it. Yeah. But obviously the creative driving force of a thing. they've gestated this idea and built something.

I mean, also, what is this even going to be worth in 20 years? That's true. How much money is he really going to get for it? I like it. In principle, I love this idea. What I would say also, though, and we mentioned this, I think, when we talked about the Sinners trailer maybe a few weeks back or something like that.

There is also a comic book called Bitter Root. Yes. Co-created by Sanford Green, Chuck Brown, and David F. Walker. It's set during the Harlem Renaissance and follows the Sangriers, a family of monster hunters who attempt to cure creatures rather than killing them.

The rights of the film adaptation were acquired by Legendary Pictures. In October 2019, it was announced that Ryan Coogler, Sev of Harnian and Zinzi Evans would direct the film. So what happened there? Then he's gone to a different kind of monster hunter movie.

I guess there's no, if I had to guess, I would say there's little to no crossover sort of character-wise. No. But it's interesting, right? It is interesting. Yeah. Maybe he was like, this doesn't fit for me. Yeah. But I would like a different. You know, I would like to do a different vampire hunting thing. It says that, yeah, Ryan Coogler was in 2019 and then 2021 Regina King was attached to the project. Did you say that already? No, but that is true. Yeah.

So that's interesting. I didn't know Regina King directed. Very interesting. there you go oh yeah she's directed a bunch there you go cool it is cool All right, Mason. All in all, good movie. Movies are good again and they'll never be bad. This is going to, from here on out, all good movies. What's next week? Until Dawn? Oh, yeah. Could be a good move. Could be good. Should we move it along? Let's move it along. To what? What are we reading? What? What are we going to read? What? Yep.

Wow, I love this segment. Do you know why? Why? Because we talk about things we've been watching or reading or doing or listening to. That's so true. Yeah. What have you been up to? I'm still watching the studio. Oh, yeah, me too. A lot of people are like... This is supposed to be premium television, but it's just dumb. It's rude. I don't think it's supposed to be premium television. It's Entourage. It is Entourage. No, but it's kind of... What's the term? What do I call it?

Prestige TV. It's not supposed to be Prestige. No. It looks like Prestige TV. But it's stupid and full of idiots. But it's stupid and full of idiots. And I think maybe it did take me like an episode or two to cotton on to this.

It's like a straight-up comedy. It's got the vibe of that, and they're doing some interesting things, which I think is fun. I don't know if they're going to lean into it the entire season, but when they... when the when the characters are doing a genre thing the episode itself is also that genre thing like there's an episode where there's a whodunit there is a whodunit and so the the you know they they can drive away for the main characters to put on trench coats

solve a mystery this you know this this mystery of a missing film reel while you know they're they're working on this mystery film etc or there's an episode where A director has to do a one-er, you know, a single take. a long single-take sequence, and that episode is a long single-take sequence. I don't know if it really is. Or maybe it is. It's very impressive regardless. Yeah, but I just like Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg's stuff generally. It is stupid. Who's the other guy? Baron Holtz.

And you might get an occasional celebrity cameo like a Marty Scorsese. Or a Ronald Howard. Ron Howard's in it, that's right. No, I enjoy it. Yeah, it's good. It's pretty hectic. Yeah, yeah, it's hectic. I'm also reading for the first time Corto Malte. the comic book character. Oh, what's he up to? Well, so he's... comic book creator Hugo Pratt in 1967.

This is, we mentioned this on, I think maybe on A Caravan of Garbage or something like that. It's sort of contemporaneous with like Tintin and Asterix and all those guys. But I'd heard of this character before. In DC Comics, the island of Corte Maltese is named after. him in The Suicide Squad. He's a cool DC guy. Well, he's not a DC guy.

But it's named after him. Well, yeah, he's an independent guy. But I'd never read Colton Maltese before. It's great. He's like a sailor, like a kind of, you know, he goes on adventures. It's also very well researched. Like there's a lot of...

What era are you reading of this? This is from the 1960s, but a lot of it is set the first... volume is set in like the 1910s um and it's sort of very like he he'll he'll take you know characters will take journeys to like the philippines and new zealand and stuff like that from this era and none of it is kind of like

stereotypical kind of you know based on assumptions it's clearly very well researched and it's you know a lot of a lot of interesting characters everybody's plotting and scheming in a very grown-up kind of way it's not kind of you know it's it's really good like wow It's all like that. Nobody's like, wow, James. First of all, how dare you. Sorry, I appreciate you saying that. And it's just a... Just a wonderful art style. I don't know.

It's quite simple, but it's very expressive. I do like the Abide style of that. And this was sort of my blind spot to the point when we talked about it the other day. I'm like, I can't even remember this guy's name. But it's really good. Cool. And I guess it's had a bunch of expanded stuff. There's been a live action TV. some tv stuff some movies some animated stuff i don't know but animated i do have to watch it all digitally though because it's read it all digitally because it's not

They've all been shredded and not printed again. The print copies are hard to find in Australia, perhaps unsurprisingly. You know, there's such a thing as buying something overseas and spending a lot of money and getting it shipped over here for a lot of money. You know that you can do that. Wrong. There's not? No. They cancelled that. You forgot about the tariffs. God damn it. Yeah. God damn whoever did that. That's right. Was it you?

Yeah, I did it. No, you're all right, mate. Yeah, thanks, man. I don't know if we're actually going to get a chance to do a full episode on this, but I finished Daredevil Season 1. Daredevil Born Again Season 1, which is Daredevil Season 4, I guess. I think all in all, considering they restructured this entire thing, I think they pulled it off. I think it's very strong. season of Daredevil. Okay. I think the action is generally good. I think the story...

It doesn't feel like, and I know they mentioned it, like it doesn't tread water, I feel like, as much in parts. Like it moves forward. It's propulsive. It's propulsive. You know, you're getting the Punisher having his little moments and that in as well. It's not like MCU cameo heavy, which I'm totally fine with. There's even minor players like...

I can't remember his name. James Gandolfini's son plays a role in this and he's barely in it, but he's great. It's also, it does one of the goriest things that have happened in the MCU. By far. I see. I'm not up to that episode yet. In the very last episode. I'm going to spoil it now. the kingpin like tear somebody's head off? Yeah, he basically squashes this dude's head flat and then like you see him like pull the jaw off the man and he just like crumples his head. Oh, wow.

Because he's got kingpin strength. He's got kingpin strength. And so, yeah, and it's very much, it is a. It's a cliffhanger ending. I see. And they're currently filming season two and hopefully, you know, it seems like they've got the direction that they want to go. You're right. Finally now. Yeah. Well, hopefully two will be. yeah very extremely cohesive yeah now will you charlie cox is great yeah were you propelled along by this by looking at the the set lakes for season two and going on

No, I mean, I love that. It looks amazing. And he's finally got the D on his chest, the double Ds, I should say. Yeah, you would. Yeah. I mean, sure, but that suit looks incredible. Yeah, it's way better than – I don't mind this suit in this season, but I think, yeah, the next – and he uses more of his billy club and stuff. Yeah, it's really brutal.

in a way that I don't even think the Netflix one could get away with. And I just even mean that from like budgetary wise. Yeah, right. There's things you can do with the violence with a budget that you couldn't do on Netflix. And I think it was Stephen Nestor Knight who...

He was like. Of the original. Of the original one. He was like, well, yeah, we would have done more swinging through the city. It wasn't like a creative choice. Like we wanted to do that. But it's really expensive. Yeah, but now you can.

So it's not a flaw that they are making him more athletic and like, yeah, he would have to be CGI to do this particular move or whatever. It's just that now you can do it. Or he could work a bit. Charlie Cox could work a bit harder. He could work a bit harder. Exactly. Yeah.

Yeah, I really enjoyed it. That's good. I don't know whether everybody feels the same way. I don't care. Wow. That's right, Mason. Normally you're very concerned. That's right. Normally you wait until everybody else in the room has said what they think.

and then you say, I agree, actually. I agree with the majority here. Yeah, well, I did look into it and everybody's saying it, so I'm happy to go along with it. Yeah, no, good, strong, liked it a lot. Bullseye's great, whatever, whatever, etc. Again, he should just be showing up. he should be wrecking the Avengers a chaos man every once in a while yeah being a chaos man being a chaos man yeah it is going to be interesting because

The city is put in a certain place and it's about like in relation to vigilantes and curfews and things like that. And there is an opportunity there. For Spider-Man to show. For Spider-Man or... Any number of New York-based villains that aren't necessarily from the TV series, but you could work in from the... The wider MCU. Willie Lumpkin, the male man. Yeah, I don't know whether they're going to do it. Aunt May and her famous wheat cakes. That's right. No, she does.

Yeah, she died. She died, Mason. The Green Goblin stabbed her or something. Yeah, but maybe the real art make it show up. The real Green Goblin. Oh, okay. Yeah. Okay, great. The real art make it show up. I would love that. Yeah. I'm something of an art made myself. She'll say. Yeah, true. Don't you think? I think that is true. Fantastic. Is that all we're talking about this week? I've got other things. I'm constantly reading things, Mason.

I'm reading there's some Kylo Ren comic book that I'm reading at the moment. I bought a copy of The Electric State. Oh, yeah? What did you think? I haven't read it yet. It's sitting next to my bed. But you gave it a quick flick? Yeah, it looks incredible. It's way better than the movie, which was bad. That's a shame. So, yeah. It's a lot moodier, isn't it? It's way moodier, yeah. So I'm looking forward to reading that. Yeah. It's a good thick book.

Or me and my son, who you know. Don't say his name. Mason's trying to say his name. We went into the city the other day and we just bought a bunch of comics. Where'd you go? Shout out the show. We went to a couple of places. Did you go to All-Star Comics? All-Star Comics and we went to Minotaur as well. Yeah.

Both have their own comics and they're different. So shout out comics. Does Minotaur still have that big Minotaur statue? Like the giant Minotaur statue? Yeah, I think it does. It's in jeans. Yes. Minotaur and jeans? It does, yeah. Hell yeah. That one's more kind of like... I bet you wouldn't steal it, James. I bet you. You bet I wouldn't. I bet you wouldn't. Correct. That one's also more if you want like pop culture stuff, like items or whatever. The other one is like pretty much...

bookstore. And it's got a little kids section as well. Oh, it does. Which is fun, yeah. Yeah, cool. Well, All-Star Comics also has like an Australian. It does, yeah. An Australian sort of indie comic. The Phantom. No, I don't. It's just the Phantom. I don't think the Phantom. And Crocodile Dundee. Yeah. How do you get the vest? How do you get the knife? Young Dundee, they call it. Young D. Young D. Young Dundee.

Okay. What are we doing, Mason? I think now it's time for Lettuce. All right, man. Here's the theme to Lettuce. Well, I'm ready to listen to it. Have you played it yet? I'm playing it right now. Do you need to start it again? No. I mean, I do need to, but I'm not going to. Do you need me to do anything? No. Okay. This is the latest section of the show. Yep. It's easy.

All you're going to do is send Mason a very brief email at weeklyplanetpod at gmail.com and maybe he'll read it out. But not too brief. Not too brief. And don't just write. A very brief email, and then that's your email. Like, we know. We've seen it all. That is a good joke. We've seen it all. That's a good joke, though. Well, I don't look at it, but Mason does. Or go into the Planet Broadcasting Greatmates group, and every week there's a thread up there if you want to.

Just maybe I'll read 10 of them out. This week it's two. That's terrific. Go on, Mason. Here's an email from Sammy. Sammy? Hi, James and Mason. The most frustrating thing about finding a great show is when you recommend it to a friend and they never watch it. My recommendation that gets ignored is the animated show Pantheon. Have you heard of it? No.

It's a thought-provoking sci-fi series where a corporation is developing the tech to upload human consciousness and it follows a family that fights against the corporation's shady practices. It's available on both Amazon Prime and Netflix and features the soft, smooth tones of Paul Dano. Dano? Dano, yeah. What are shows that you are always recommending but no one watches? Oh, man, I tell you what, that is frustrating. You know what I find frustrating? Go on. Inequality.

It's really. I just wish everything was all right. Okay, but that's not what this podcast is about. No, I know, but I'm just saying. I feel deeper than a lot of people in that sense. Because you're an empath. Yeah, thank you. And I knew you were going to say that. No, that was a question marking it, that you're saying you're an empath. I feel that way, yes. And I know that as an empath because I know how I'm feeling.

Here's a couple of Australian shows which I have recommended before. Mystery in Between. I don't know whether. It's pretty popular, isn't it? I think it is. Good Australian crime drama. Crime drama, sort of. Yeah. Have you seen that yet? No, I haven't seen it yet. It's amazing.

You know what's fun? What's that? And Broden Kelly's in it, who just wrapped up his comedy show. Oh, is it Colin from Accounts? Colin from Accounts. Okay. That's a really fun Australian comedy. Yep. I don't know if people have seen this, but Marvel's What If? Give it a chance, season three. What if the Avengers were maxed? Oh, that sucks, sure, isn't it? What are you recommending all life?

Jag? I'm not recommending Jag. Why not? I don't. Because you haven't finished it yet. I haven't finished Jag. Yeah. Does Jag ever show up in ER? Hi, I'm Jag. I wouldn't think so. I'm here to do. nautical drama? That is what he does. You've nailed that. I don't know. I feel like I'm always... Supernatural? No, I've not. I've watched one episode of Supernatural, I'm pretty sure. Okay, would you recommend it? Yeah, it was really good. Cool. I don't know, man. That's it? I'm usually last to the...

I'm usually last at the table in terms of... Well, you can watch those three shows that I recommended. Mr. Inbetween, Colin from Accounts and Marvel's What If Season 3. Okay, then. I will. Yeah. Cool, man. I got one here. Go on. I got one here from the Broadcasting Great Mates group. Go on. This is from Josh Hockey who says, do you think Disney taking over Marvel and Star Wars and jamming out content is ruining the movie and TV industry?

I don't think it's specific to Disney. No. I think everybody jamming out content all the time, just jamming out the content. It is. Yeah, there is an overwhelming glut of things that I have yet to watch and want to. There was something, somebody mentioned something to me the other day and I'm like, I've never seen that. And I'm like, why haven't I seen that? I can't remember why.

Peaky Blinders. Never seen it. Don't know a goddamn thing about it. But I should watch it. But I can't because I'm watching What If Season 3. That's true, yes. Yeah, which I'm not watching. Yeah, I don't know. I think it is just a... It's just brands forever, man. Yeah. I mean, they're a big part of it, but I don't know. Also, if stuff is good, it doesn't matter. But sometimes it isn't, and that's bad. What do you think? I think it's good. More stuff. No, I don't know. But I mean, I think the...

What I have been enjoying recently is that a lot of streaming services have moved back to one episode a week as opposed to the Netflix model of, which in theory, you know, back in the day was a revelation every episode at once. I don't think that works at all anymore if it ever did. You said it's lame. I didn't say that. I said it's a shame. Oh. What? That hurt me because I'm an empath. You know what you did. I feel deep. But I think it gets people talking about.

Yeah. Oh, you know what? I'm always recommending Party Down to people. That's a good show. It is a great show. And they brought it back. Yeah, they did. Yeah, for the revival. Is that coming back again? I don't think it is coming back again. I mean, Adam Scott is busy. That's true. That's got Jennifer Coolidge did a season of that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Party down. That's a show I'm recommending and people will be like, I'll put that on my list. It started in like 2010 and they bought it back in like, what, 2024 or something? Something like that, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Goddamn, I'm just checking the future of this. back again. There's no way. No talks or nothing. I mean, I guess in the sense that...

You know, Adam Scott is now in Severance and it's a big popular show. I guess maybe they get enough. They get enough of a bump that he could go in and do it kind of thing. But then maybe he'd only be a guest character. Yeah, exactly. So, you know, and the, you know. The vibe of that show is that he's the main character who can never quite get anywhere. No, that's right. I mean, yes, that's right. Cool. Got another one, Mason? You better believe I do. I believe.

This is from Harry. Harry. G'day, boys. G'day, Harry. Long-time listener, first-time writer. I'm emailing from the grey and miserable UK. I work in retail. Over the years, I've had multiple people ask if I'm from Australia because apparently my customer voice has a twang. It doesn't specify, but I don't think so.

It's probably from listening to you two jokers every week. It's gotten to the point where I'm just rolling with it and hope to God no one from Australia actually asked me specifically where I'm from. Where is the best place to say I'm from to avoid any follow-up questions? Gundagai. Gundagai, they won't ask. Say I'm from the dog in the tucker box, on the tucker box. That's right. That's where I'm from. Yep. Say you're from? Bacchus Marsh. Oh. No one's going to know that.

Springvale. Springvale, yeah. Say you're from Caroline Springs. Say you're from Caroline Springs and nobody asks. Just go, it's off the Westgate. Just say that. It's not, but it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Nobody asks. They don't know. Yeah, yeah, that's true, yeah. Where's Ned Kelly from?

Glenn Rowan. Glenn Rowan. You could say you're from Glenn Rowan. You could say you're from Glenn Roy. You could say you were born under the Ned Kelly statue in Glenn Rowan. That's right, yeah. You could say you're from Glenn Robbins. The man. The comedic actor Glenn Robbins. Yeah, that's right. Glenn Robbins. All options. That's true, isn't it? Yeah, just lie. It's fine.

I got one here, mate. It's a different one every time. Yeah, definitely. It's from Bradley Trenary, who says, With Sin is coming out. What's the best twins movie played by the same actor? To be clearer, I guess I'm in the most convincing set of twins which felt like two different actors were playing them.

as in they had their own distinguishable personas. Yes. My vote is for Crook Bloke, Armie Hammer, and The Social Network, but also shout out to Danny DeVito in Twins. Very good. Well done. See, the thing about Armie Hammer in The Social Network is at the time I didn't know he was... one guy yeah so that's i'm maybe in the in a rewatch i'd be like well that's obviously army have two different guys Adaptation, Nicolas Cage plays two Nicolas Cages. Yes.

But that feels like Nicolas Cage in two different wigs. Yeah, fair point. What about double impact? One packs a piece, the other packs a punch. Yeah, that's so true. Jean-Claude Van Damme. What about Janelle Monáe in Glass Onion? but they're not really on the screen at the same time they're never really on the screen at the same time what about tom hardy as the cray boys

I haven't seen that movie. I've just seen a bunch of clips on YouTube. But again, that's hard to do because, again, I know it's Tom Hardy putting on. two odd accents. Oh, what's going on here? One's got glasses and one doesn't have glasses. What's going on here, yeah. What about Leonardo DiCaprio and the Man in the Iron Mask, your favorite movie that you watched last week?

What about Paul Rudd in I've Cloned Myself, Boys? It's a Netflix show. I don't think I've seen I've Cloned Myself, Boys. It might be Michael B. Jordan, honestly. Well, I'm not finished yet. What about the Weasley twins from Harry Potter?

I thought they were two separate guys. No, they've actually done a lot of elaborate social media stuff, this one person, to make it seem like in real life it's two of them, but it's just one guy. I don't think that's true at all. No, it's true. What about this one? What about Christian Bale? This is a spoiler. Oh, the Prestige. Prestige.

What about Adam Sandler and Jack and Jill? No. So it's Sinners, Michael B. Jordan. I think it might be. All right. That's a spoiler for the movie Sinners. No, it's not. Yes, it is. It's not. You cannot say that here. I forebode it. You never question it even once. No, you don't. You really don't. It's one guy. Do you think that that was originally going to be Michael B. Jordan and Jonathan Majors?

I mean, did you say that here? I did say that here, yeah. It feels like it could have been, yeah. It's probably better they did this, I reckon. This would have been stalled in relation. Yeah, uh-huh. Yeah. What about Mickey 17? Oh yeah, he's clones and whatnot. Yeah. Yeah, convincing. One's like, this is it. And the other one's like, this is it. Yeah, yeah.

You know? One's more of a goblin. More goblin. 17's more of a goblin than 18, yeah. That's right, yeah. So, yeah, yeah, good question. Armie Hammer, I mean, yeah, crook-like, but yeah, that is a...

Like, it's a good performance and, like, staggering special effects. Yeah, right. Especially from, what, it's like 2010. And David Fincher. And David Fincher. David Fincher. David Fincher, I call him. And here's one more email. Big D Fincher, so. Caden. Yep. Now, you said you'd take the lead on this one.

With the upcoming release of The Surfer and Dangerous Animals, which I believe are Australian horror movies, I was wondering if either of you had any recommendations for good Australian horror thrillers. He's recommended The Royal Hotel. Or talk to me. So we're going to try and avoid those. You have a short list. I've seen the Royal Hotel. Have you seen it? I've seen it. It's great. We talked about this, but it's a bit wake and fry, which is sort of...

And it's got that silver surfer in it. It does. That silver surfer lady. I'm going to let you take the lead on this one. I don't want to though. I can't think of any other movies. I'm going to allow you to do it. I don't want to though. People say you don't talk enough. And I agree. And I think this is an opportunity for you to think of several movies. I'm not going to. I don't want to. All right, I do have a list. I got four. Okay. The Relic.

which is about, it's about, it's, it's, it's more in kind of line with like the Babadook. It's like dementia and family lineage and Babadook is Australian. Yeah. There you go. And like family lineage and like the effect that dementia has on. As on like children like growing and knowing that that's coming down the line of your family. And like it's kind of like it manifests in this house as like a physical wrath of like the person and the house.

Yeah, it's not fun. That's Australian. That's Australian, mate. You can look that up. You can look that up in the yellow pages. That's Australian. Also, there's one from, this one's probably at least 10 years old, maybe older. It's 2009. It's called The Loved Ones. It's directed by Sean Byrne. This one is at, do you know Xavier Samuel? I don't know if you know Xavier Samuel.

So it's basically this girl. She has a crush on this boy from school. But she's kind of a strange weirdo person. And so she gets her dad to kidnap him. We call them school formals in Australia, but she basically makes this guy do like a prom in her house. Oh, I see, right. It's like torture porn and whatever. But it's... Yeah, it's like drilling into people's heads and stuff. I don't like that at all. Natalie Erica James directed The Relic. Oh, it's got Emily Mortimer as well.

in it another one I recommend it's a it stars Martin Freeman they'll often do this in like an Australian horror movie they'll bring in one guy they brought in that guy from Alias to do the crocodile. I do want to talk about that crocodile one as well. That's my last one. Mr. Crocodile. Mr. Crocodile, we're trying to... That's highly unusual. We're having a wonderful time on this rebel boat cruise, Mr. Crocodile. Rogue? Rogue. Yeah. We'll get to it. So Cargo is an Australian zombie movie.

It's also got Susie Porter in it. It's directed by Ben Howling and Yolanda Ramke. And yeah, it's a zombie movie, but it's got an Australian kind of flavor to it. Vegemite. Yes, it is. It happens very early on, but Martin Freeman's character gets bitten and he's carrying a baby and he has to get the baby somewhere before he turns. Did this get a cinema release? I don't know if it did. I didn't watch it in the cinemas. It was 2017. It's great. Is Martin Freeman in Shaun of the Dead?

Yeah, he is, briefly. Is he in the opposing team? Oh, it's distributed by Netflix. Yeah, he's in that other team that walks past, I believe. He's also in Ali G. And the last one, as you mentioned, it's Rogue. So have people seen Wolf Creek, either the movies or the TV series? Both seasons. Charlie Clawson's one of those series. Rogue is about a giant crocodile. It's Jaws with a giant crocodile. The Jaws looks incredible in it. I think it's Weta did, I think Weta did the crocodile.

It's phenomenal. So if you like the movie Lake Placid, it's got Michael Varton in it. And also Sam Worthington's in it. There you go. Stephen Curry. This is a great cast. Stephen Curry? John Jarrett's in it, who of course is Mick Dundee in Wolf Creek. Yeah, that's directed by Greg McLean. I don't think any... No, it was made for $25 million and it made $4.6 million. But I like it. Oh, Rada Mitchell's in it as well. Yeah, that's a great car.

Cool. Here's one more. Here's one more post. This is from the great mates group. Andrew asks, who do you want to face at WrestleMania? Me. And I obviously want to face Romaine Ripped. Yep. Played by Ralph Fiennes. Did you remember the name? Hello. Hello. That's what he says. That's what he says. And you're going to fight Ralph Fiennes. Yeah. Okay. And you're going to beat him. Yeah, because he's old. All right. I believe in you, Mason. I'd be like, hey, think of the Avengers. And he'd go.

Not the American one, the one you were in. And he'd be like, and then I'd hit him. Can I pass you the chair? That's going to be my contribution. I will fight, remain ripped with you. Nice. That's beautiful.

It's too late for me in wrestling. I'm not going to do it. I know a lot of people are like, you should get into wrestling. It's too much and I won't. And I know people are like, well, this is a good jumping off point or whatever. No, I won't. I never will. That's the turnbuckle. That's a great jumping off point. I wish I could, Mason. I don't have the time to learn another universe. 50 years of another universe. I just can't do it. Absolutely.

Is that the show? It is the whole show. God, that took forever. We're going to make these like 20 minutes, mate. Just get out. You know what I mean? Just come in and go, yeah, it's all right. And then leave.

Oh, we could pre-record that too. Exactly. We'd just have to come in. It's alright. We'd have to come in. Or... Good performance. James, we wouldn't even have to do that because we'd just look at the upcoming movies and we'd record them all in one day. Oh, yeah. We'd just come in on a day and go, sinners. It's all right. Michael B. John, that is finest. Yeah.

Two Michael B. Jordan. Three Michael B. Jordan in case there's three. We'll say that. Oh, just in case there's a surprise third. Yeah, we don't want to be called out. I was going to say you're putting too much effort in there, but you're right. We don't want to. Yeah, we don't want people to know we're doing this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 20 minutes left. Fantastic four. Actually, five of them. Surprise, we knew.

We're new, actually. Bye, everyone. It's all right. I think people are going to like these voices that we're using as well. I think so, too. Yeah. Yeah, it's got a boundless energy to it. Agreed. It's beautiful. No, I like doing the show, and I'll prove it. Go on.

Oh, you mean in future? Yeah. Let me make it up to you. Okay. Just give me a chance. I've really done it so far. But I think next time we'll really prove we enjoy doing this.
