How To Reboot Dying Franchises - The Weekly Planet Podcast 

I would so listen to a whole podcast of James trying to talk pokemon with his son.

Damn, never thought I'd hear Bananaman, Bangers and Mash, Jimbo and the Jetset and Defenders of the Earth all in one podcast. This is the ultimate podcast. You get one like.

I can't wait for Beta-Man and Snark Boy to join the Avengers DLC.

OMG the daleks I lost it. 10/10 best dalek voices ever.

They should do Ready Player One but only hyper obscure references of like failed TV shows that only had 5 or 6 episodes

Auntie Donna was a great reccomendation, never heard of them before hearing about them here! Gonna do the rewatch with their commentary for sure.

Being a Doctor Who fan who listens to this is always a fun experience, it'd be like how I imagine football fans would feel if I started doing sports commentary.

This is the first time I've listened to your podcast and I've been watching your videos for forty years. So I've finally taken our relationship to the next level. I hope you were ready.

1:10:08 Personally this was my favourite moment. Gave me a massive smile.

Time stamp for Doctor who?

"Sapphire and Steel" needs rebooting/honouring. Bought the box set a few years ago. It was exactly as weird and creepy as I remembered. Bought a copy for my younger brother. "It's shit!" he said. I was gutted, as I genuinely rate his opionion. But he's in the attic now. Fish heads for tea!

Doctor who 01:08:10

"That dog's tearing that guy apart." "Yeah, well he shouldn't have been a tiny little man."

I really, really want a WWII era Wonder Woman movie, featuring Sgt. Rock, Captain Storm and Johnny Cloud. Land, sea and air. Greek Gods vs Norse Gods. And then The Haunted Tank rolls up! I nerd-out about DC War Comics from the Go-Go Check era.

I won't lie, that dalek edit was great

I listened to half of the podcast on spotify, and now I'm gonna listen to the other half on youtube to support you guys on two platforms. Now I'm commenting to appease the algorithm. I'M DOING MY PART!

A shadow knife reference this far back? Inconceivable! Plus Phantom talk? Just wild!

22:16 this statement Masoue made about ‘having Hollywood knowledge and no one being able to hear him’ is my entire existence 😂😂

I love you guys so much because I don't even care if the things you say are "technically correct," I just believe it and love hearing you speak

Girl from Tomorrow, Ocean Girl, Ship to Shore and Round the Twist (my favourite) were huge in Ireland in the 90s!

Ship to Shore & Round the Twist, now that's a throwback.

That Dr. Who bit was amazing, great work gents

I'm also from New Jersey and you guys are great!

If this podcast ever dies i hope Mason still hangs out with all of us every day

“What about the phantom?” * lowers volume*

Holy Moly 44:00 you guys mention not only Flaming Carrot (my absolute fave comic!) but also Captain Carrot and the Zoo Crew!?!?!?!? Damn you guys are cool. What's next, E-Man? Get out of then move back to town! Official forever fanboy AF.

Domhnall Gleeson is IRISH not british!!!!!! You just made the list Mason.

I really need you guys to do a whole show as the Daleks now. In fact, BBC needs to hire you guys now... to be the Daleks. I'd watch that show.

I think Adam driver would make a great doctor doom

Everyone should go watch the Godzilla series on Netflix Everyone whose reviews I've seen seems to hate it but I loved it and the ending made me do a cry

I would love to see Hollywood reboot JUMPER, apparently it was supposed to be a 7 part series following the books? I loved the movie as a kid despite its flaws. I would love if they made another teleporter film done well.

Serenity! Firefly! Yes got'em!!

Thanks guys.

I mean season 11 has lots of new villains for dr who and none of them were good so... 🤷‍♂️ I mean I like the idea but 🙄ye... Weeping angels and the silence were great villains, the family of blood, the clockwork robots and the vashtanarader (or however you spell it) I love too from the newer series listen and midnight have great villains that we don’t see and I know they’re not new but I rly like all the episodes with the zygons so maybe bring them back too.

Your delivery of "8675309" is fucking stupendous

If Aaron Taylor-Johnson's Quicksilver doesn't show up in any form in WandaVision then what's the point? I ain't interested and I ain't watching.

had to click for "Dying Franchises" and the doctor who thumbnail ;) glad to know im not crazy

1:02:50 😆😆😆😆 gets me every time!!

Good morning guys thanks for this news

We all love the skalet which, mate!

This episode rocks

The actors of Entourage are excited to do entourage again because they're not doing much else since that show ended

I remember seeing the marketing for Ready Player 1, and realizing I've never given less of a fuck about anything

Late to the party. But Pacific Heat is amazing, give it a try you won't be disappointed

The Aunty Donna Ellen Degeneres skit is amazing!

1:11:20 Ah fuck, they predicted the last Christmas episode

Adam Driver for Paladin. Could have purple Swat style armour with Stark tech built in.

Deep Space Nine is my favorite show, I would adore a continuation.

Armie Hammer can't play John McClane. John is an "every man". Not a 6' 4" mass of muscle. The point of the movie was "what happens if a regular dude gets in the shit?"

Police academy with Taika Waititi As director

Fucking Bananaman?! Couldn't stop laughing, indeed how the hell DID you get that over there.

With the Comanche Predator movie, they probably would have difficulty finding enough actors who speak the language, so I’d say it’s 99.99% chance of it being in English

This is mostly tangential to the bad movies getting good reboots discussion, but every 20 years another Astro Boy show came out and this year nothing happened and I’m depressed.

What's the name of their editor's music channel?

Don't forget Super Ted! For all your weird British versions of Superman on the Arvo Show during the 90s.

Super Mario Bros. live-action (way too late sequel), Also, we need a Gremlins movie reboot/continuation 💪😎

New Mutants is the Marvel thing out this year. It did not live in trailers for 6 years to die in your memories. ;)

I would watch a Grant Denyer phantom movie.

The old guy at the end of Last of the Mohicans would slaughter the Predator...

That thing people think I do" We don't think you do two voices. WE KNOW IT. By the way, the Doctor Who one was the first season with the current Docvtor and a bunch of people got really fucking angry with it

Actually in casino royal le chiffre’s tell is him resting his fingers on his temple, yes I’m talking about the same tell that loses James millions but James later says he only won because of the last card until then he had nothing and thus it wasn’t a trick and was his tell

Did they miss the Starship Troopers reference from the letter??

So Maso is the rocketeer?

C'mon how perfect would Adam Driver be as The Shadow?

Ah. You’re good friend Chris peng!

I would like to see a gallifreyan villain who is a survivor of the time war.He would not be like the master , he would want to rebuild his species and civilization,he is not evil but has to do some terrible things to do it. My idea is that he would see humans as the perfect species as both are very similer and will slowly create hybrid children with them through generations and will influence earth by giving them advance technology and knowledge so that they are similer to gallifrey (though he could imprint it in their genetics too) , he would be such a good idea of a villain as he would bring a fresh new villain who would first be his companion since doctor does not have gallifreyan companions(not that I have seen or heard of) then to achive his goals play on his insecurities and guilt of wiping out their species and that they are the last ones left and when his plan is reveald he would still try to convince the doctor but he will refuse but he will still emotionally blackmale him by saying things like 'The humans they will leave you they all will eventually but I won't and that we could right this wrong by rebuilding our civilization'. He would make a great villain as he would make the doctor reveal all his insequrities and lonliness and question himself what will he do kill or imprison one of he last members of his spices to protect the timeline of humanity or help him to rebuild his species and civilization on earth , to him it is a win-win for both parties as the gallifreyan civilization is back and the humans get to be the most advance species in the universe.

JIMBO! i thought i was the only one who remembered that. Just need to find some one who remembers the shoe people now.

So weird mason brought up stillman. Hasbro just released a figure of him lol

So it turns out they were NOT talking about Phantom of the Opera

I love Wallace and Gromit! Shaun the Sheep is also good.

Kevin Kline for the predator unnamed bow-tie character please.

Two Thumbs Up

Mind stone unlocked dormant mutant gene in the twins. *JON HAMM FOR MAGNETO!!!*

Driver as the new Magneto maybe?

Adam Driver as the living tribunal.

The other vegan in Scott Pilgrim besides Brie Larson was Brandon Routh - not Thomas Jane, as he played one of the Vegan Police officers. Also, The Dark Tower is too much of a long-winded King property to turn into a movie - maybe a series, but still. The Talisman, on the other hand, which he wrote with Peter Straub, could work as a movie.

What the frack ? Aardman animation is awesome

Adam Driver should be Doc Samson

Bigger Luke

You just renumber starting back at 1. Got um.

Bloody DEFENDERS!!

For predator what if they start with them in their native language and switch to English as you get to know the characters.

Adam driver as forge from the X-men

Defenders of the earth!

Kyle ren as MCU gambit

Adam Driver as wonder man In the MCU

Why no Mandalorian talk anymore??

DOCK - TOOOOOOOOOOR

Domhnall Gleeson is Irish

This predator sounds fucking awesome

No more Die Hard unless it can be written well. We don't need reboots and sequels we need original IP.

How to reboot dying podcasts would be a good follow up!

Which of James' brothers knows about Pokemon? The one Mason for doesn't like?

Did you guys hear that David Prowse passed away (RIP), or was the episode recorded before then?

Man, way to spoil the end of your Die Hard Christmas movie review

Hello hello

Mads is much better then Depp. Just my opinion.

No mention of the biggest Fortnite event ever with Marvel tomorrow? Huge miss for clicks

Adam Driver for Namor.

You mean how to reboot the failed reboot?
