My favorite part was when Snake Eyes kicked the raptor in the face, removed his helmet, revealing himself to be Jared Leto, then said "it's morbin time" right at the camera
New Fan Theory: His name is actually James “Also Known As Mister Sunday With Me As Always Is My Cohost Nick” Mason. Therefore, his real name is James Mason. Edit: Someone talk to the ATO about James Mason’s taxes for proof.
I can already tell that Joker 2 is such a brave film. Anyone saying it's not as good as the first just doesn't understand it. It's a subversive masterpiece.
I hope Joker 2 is another pointless rehash of a Scorsese film. Maybe Cape Fear or Last Temptation of Christ, where the Joker is Jesus for maximum pandering.
I laughed so hard at the fact that the lads don't know what Kangaroos eat. As a city-born Canadian with only occasional moose encounters in my life, I totally get it... But for some reason, it still struck me as hilarious!
I've never listened to the Weekly Planet podcast, I usually stick to Caravan of Garbage, but I realise I could listen to you two debate the prettiest kind of bread mould and I would be entertained. Your friendship carries through so powerfully, one cannot help but feel like we're part of the best conservation possible.
I've been sick of the Dwayne The Rock for so long so I was glad to be proven that I'm not crazy by you two mentioning it...or maybe I'm even crazier because I agreed with you two? I can only describe it as "face exhaustion" but market saturation is a more professional sounding way to put it!
I never hear anyone bring up that the original can of shaving cream in JP1 only had enough coolant to last 48 hours, so unless that can was recovered in 2 days the embryos inside would have been non viable. And in a series about bringing dinosaurs back to life, believing that can was dug from the mud by anyone in time to be useful is a bridge too far.
listening to this with my wife, and halfway through the review she says "what the fuck are they talking about?" she thought you just randomly started talking nonsense about dinosaurs
In regards to the Cube/Goduss tangent Mason went on, what James jokingly said is literally what happened, an 18 year old student from Glasgow downloaded the app, played for about ten minutes and then won the grand prize
I’m simply too tired to laugh from work today but listening to this made me find a wee bit of energy to silently but visibly chuckle because you as always are hilarious. Loved the discussion.
This last Jurassic Park I think successfully overcame the problem all the sequels have faced if only briefly. The problem of how do you instill wonder from seeing dinosaurs after seeing then is normalized? I think they accomplished instilling that when Alan and Chris Prats character are working together to tame a baby velocitaptor and you see Alan's amazement in his eyes. The sense of wonder can come from being able to coexist with and bond with nature, with being able to tame these beasts.
Natives: We'll need these *nacho cheese Daritos* in order to stop the Predator. Predator: Not unless I have *Mountain Dew!* Native culture is always great to see on film.
Tbh as an indigenous American it makes me queasy lol b/c so often were embarrassing stereotypes on film and exactly that voice James & Maso mentioned which felt so gratifying to hear them get it. You grow up used to seeing yourself portrayed as the villain or treated as dead as the Jedi under the Empire. So I’m tepidly optimistic to see how this is.
@Joe 💈 Yeah, Native film roles has always been "confusing" and "super inaccurate" except for Smoke Signals, my whole family loves that film. So this portrayal can't be as bad as the past, should be fun.
The bit with the locusts not eating BioSyn crops is actually more realistic than you might think. The concept seems to come directly from the real world example of when Monsanto sold genetically modified seeds that were resistant to their powerful insecticides and then the insecticides drifted onto the fields of smaller individually owned farms and devastated the crops of those who didn't buy their seeds from Monsanto. Since so much farmland is corporately owned, individual farmers can really struggle to have their voices heard, so while rival corporations might collect evidence against BioSyn it's not that unrealistic that the small family owned farm that Dr. Sattler visits would be struggling to get the word out.
53:53 Mason's take on crunching the numbers for the danger of releasing the dinosaurs is why I was so perplexed by the trailers. Every trailer has Ian Malcom pontificating that we were going to go extinct...how many dinosaurs were released? 40? 400? 1000? I mean we consider animals deeply endangered at those numbers. These aren't fantasy creatures--they seem quite susceptible to physical assault. Humans are quite violent. We could easily kill off an aggressive species that large. I mean in the major cheese movie Reign of Fire they were working with dragons and threw in a bunch of extra caveats on why those overran the world. It makes sense to me that the dino-apocalyse angle was a red herring to hype people up given no one would be excited for a "Technically it's still Jurassic World Because These Big Bugs are Super Old!"
@@GothamClive If it were like bigfoot-- assuming bigfoot was real-- then it wouldn't be a problem would it? It wouldn't be creating an Apocalypse because it would just be hiding off somewhere in the mountains never interacting with us.
@@ThreadBomb Yes and no. Yes, it'd be super easy to just say that and that's get at least a partial pass because movies are fiction. There is the snag that the 2nd movie had a subplot about hunting them, and Fallen Kingdom where they were first noted to be a silly weapon you'd think "and we made the hide grow like [enter fantastical bulletproof animal here]" would have been thrown in. No, because it's a big animal. it still needs time to get big. Maybe the Compsognathus could have that trait and swell in population like invasive iguanas or boas do. But bigger creatures also need bigger food sources. And we have ammunition that can pierce body armor, heck that can pierce armored vehicles in some cases. Mythical dragons and Matthew McConaughey get a pass. Everyone else has to earn it.
what about a whole episode of characters you think you could beat up? i remember yall touching on that in one episode but itd be awesome to get a whole podcast about it
Yeah, I think everyone owes Rise of Skywalker an apology now. Say what you want about that film but at least that had good acting, good characters, good cinematography, good action, good effects, and it didn't just flat out lie to it's audience, it promised Palpatine and we got Palpatine. Jurassic World Dominion promised dinosaurs living among humans and instead we got GIANT BUGS..... Colin Trevorow is an inept bait & switch hack who at this point I honestly just believe got lucky with Jurassic World and all the success for it just went to his head.
Loved it, maybe its because I'm a massive dinosaur/jurassic fan and I'm looking through rose tinted glasses but I gotta tell ya, the view is beautiful.
There was a 2000AD story called Flesh! Which was about ranchers going back in time to harvest Dinosaurs for meat which was then sent back to their time to feed a hunger ravaged future. It's kinda a cross between Dune and Jurassic Park and has loads of wild, insane and horrific ideas that would make a great long form tv show.
I have been accused of just saying this because someone else has but I too was glad the Procomposognathus from the first book finally got their moment in Jurassic Park 3. Am not just sucking up
With the XBOX kid reference in this and the morbius thing, and the dino detective reference in the Caravan of Garbage, I now know that James has discovered Eddy Burback, which is just fantastic.
He mentioned him by name a couple times iirc. He mentioned him really really recently too but I can't remember if it was in a pod or in a Mr Sunday Movies video
Neil Gaiman's Sandman started in 1989, but Vertigo didn't exist until 1993. It was created so DC had a place for its Suggested for Mature Readers titles. (It was weird seeing Sandman, Watchmen etc. advertised in regular kiddie titles in the 80s.) Fun fact: Death: The High Cost of Living was the first official Vertigo title.
54:00 it was a big problem when Blue got shot in Fallen Kingdom. Shot with a gun. Just a normal gun. I'm American and you can't throw a rock in a Dennys without hitting someone that thought they needed to bring a gun to that Dennys.
It would be fascinating if WB put my girl in Joker 2 considering Harley is in her "I don't need anyone anymore" phase in everything, and it is kinda enjoyable to see
What is so strange to me is the fact they want to make the jurrasic series more realistic and believable by explaining the genetics, showing they have feathers but Mason had a brilliant point…HOW THE HELL could all these 400-1000 dinosaurs of varying species even pose a threat to humanity? They would die out within a couple years
9:50 this comedy routine is inspired by Bill Hicks' famous 'pick up the gun' bit by the way :) loved the boys' improvised homage ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Cdf8UvkjUbc.html
Is this a good movie...no Did I have a good time .....yes it's so fucking ludicrous I was hollowing with laughter while me and my mate talked shit over it was a good experience and It had the sense to keep moving thought the bullshit( i joked about multiple chrachter doing the hand thing and then it actually happened). Should they make another one.....fuck no but they going to might aswell ramp up the bullshit I want either dinosaur human hybrid or the fast and furious crew to show up in the next one
@@Taurusus me and my mate felt similar about the last especially with the resident evil house we went to this expecting to be bad and off the rail that said the idea of watching this in any other context I wouldn't recommend although I also think there is only one good film in this franchise so I kinda put all the sequel in the same camp
Actually, every time ANY charatcters put their hands up. It would have been great if one just did that and got their hand bitten off! (or did that happen?)
i hope the joker sequel takes inspiration from american psycho, like how the first one does taxi driver, i always interpreted pat bateman balancing two personalities slowly crashing together , and i really like american psycho , so with the new sequel title hinting at two people i hope it’s just joker with two personalities (and also it’d be another origin story) like in the comics his origin is multiple choice, they should do 3 origin stories
Totally right, Jurassic World Dominion certainly not a great movie. That said, I felt like the mood on the 'island' felt the most like the original out of all the sequels. The darkness and the sounds felt threatening again. I had fun but yeah, not a great movie.
Me and my roommate were trying to give a spoiler free review to our friend and the best way to describe this movie is....... It's dumb fun. Very dumb and very fun.
All the positive reasons you guys give for the Jurassic movies could be applied to Venom, which I enjoyed. The duality of Ma(so)n. And no, I haven't seen Venom 2 and no I will not see it
Relatively speaking I enjoyed Jurassic World Dominon. I went in with low expectations and it was at least passable. Was entertaining and I didn’t feel bored or disinterested too often. Much better than Fallen Kingdom but nowhere near as good as the original. And in terms of recent releases it was much better than Uncharted, Secrets of Dumbledore and Morbius.
Why do they have to get the locust DNA when they were out and about already anyway, is this DNA different in any way that proves anything? Did I miss anything? Just came home from the cinema utterly confused
1:17:57 I've been saying it for years, a Dinotopia movie. If you're unfamiliar Dinotopia is a series of books about 2 brothers who shipwreck on a lost island where dinosaurs and humans live in harmony together. The dinosaurs talk so that could be a big pill to swallow but I still say it could make some great movies. There was also a series made in the early 2000's but it was so awful only 6 of the 13 episodes aired before it was cancelled 😂 Carvan of garbage potential there🤣 the books are great though.
The game boy advance version of Duke nukem is an ironically one of the best Duke nukem games and undoubtedly the best first person shooter for that system, because they actually released a decent amount Other than that however the only good Duke nukem game is Duke 3D
Obi Wan is a good, but not great, show. None of it's problems is the actress or character of Reva. To me all of the problems are just little things. A small child running from (and not being caught) by 3 grown men for way too long, Leia is overwritten (she can be very advanced for a child but they took it too far that it broke my suspension of disbelief) and other little things like that. Plus it feels like the episodes should be longer but we're cut down. But overall I'm enjoying it. Solid 8/10
You guys are forgetting other film makers are putting dinosaurs in their films... how could you forget the amazing and critically acclaimed film, the velocipastor?
To any Movie Execs looking for a direction for the JP franchise after this… attempt, I’ve got one word for you - Turok. Give us a Dino-horror movie, you cowards!
THERE ARE SO MANY APPLES IN THE WOKE MOVIE TOP GUN. TOP GUN MORE LIKE WOKE GUN. I HATE WOKE MOVIE THAT HAS POLITICS I DONT AGREE WITH. KEEP APPLES OUT OF MY MOVIES
I don't like Ms marvel because the writing and acting isn't hitting for me. Just feels like a miss with how much I love her in the comics. Feels like an executive saw red panda and said let's make this a live action of that, but with spoon fed dialog and theatrical acting.
