The Most Insane Hollywood Development Deals - The Weekly Planet Podcast 

Maaon's rant about Men who hate movies because they can't imagine themselves as a woman is my favourite thing I've heard in weeks

So is James hydrated because he drank a soda during the episode or should I be concerned that he needed the drink in the first place cause he's dehydrated.

There's a frightening lack of pissing in this lovely podcast, i worry my aussies are dehydrated

He did the thing!! He cracked open a carbonated can!!

So far every time James has cracked a can at the introduction the image of Marky Mark slamming a Bud light in the street for America has popped into my head. Thank you.

Keep James Hydrated

James and Mason's unending commitment to roasting whinging internet idiots always makes me smile so wide...

Is James hydrated enough?

Fred Schneider is definitively the most fun impression a person can attempt. Mason just always gets it

I love the bullshit idea that bringing back Mel Gibson to be an old man action hero would have been so successful, when we just fucking got Indiana Jones 5.

He thinks he can just bring a little drink and not get called out? The audacious bastard.

The B52’s bit better be in the end of the year clips show! Had me dying laughing

New Blade. Same script. Modern time changes: “some motherfuckers are always trying to hover-board uphill”

Rian Johnson does everything with the power of his massive, perfectly spherical head.

🎶Kamakaze pilot! Lands on an island for fake repairs! Dead fish on the surface! Somebody thought they saw a rock! But it wasn't a rock! It was a God-zilla! 🎶

James, I recall going to the movies, I can't remember what movie I watched, it wasn't a full room, a couple group of people here and there. I got my seat in a nice area away from everyone, previews start, it's all going well, then this guy comes in, walks up the stairs, goes in the row I was in......sits right next to me!

Love the sheer number of jabs at The Critical Drinker lol

Nick Mason doesn't need sugary drinks, because damnit, he's sweet enough already

I like podcasts because it makes for great multitasking. i can listen as i make my coffee, i can listen as I drink my coffee, I can listen as I poo because of the coffee, I can listen when the caffeine gets me cleaning up around the house

16:00 I funnily enough jokingly said to someone years ago that Dr. Strange would open a portal to get people to help fight Thanos and Deadpool would pop his head out and say “Hi! We’ve been looking for you, the truth is we would have gotten here sooner, but we got lost along the way.” And he’d walk out with the Fox X-Men characters following behind him

Listen Zack, I'll watch your 300 prequel, but it needs to be followed by 298 more prequels, and also it needs to be called 299.

i miss sitting in the middle towards the back

You're telling me Madame Web wasn't entirely written by AI already? Did you watch that movie? I refuse to believe that was written by a human being

To y’all’s point on the furiosa discourse and some dudes getting mad she’s a girl boss, I just never got that from furiosa, she gets her ass beat consistently she loses more than she wins like at this point these dudes just want no women in their films I’m sure

If Sony makes a large language model that generates movies based on their own IP, it'll be like the film version of Panera's The Lemonade that Kills You.

Opening a can is deep lore at this point.

Totally here for Chris Evans playing his character from 'Push'.

Love the Fred Schneider impressions. They are fun to do.

1:28:44 is not an old man rant, the state of owning a fucking video game and being able to play it being a total process depending on the publisher is just a problem in general and its exactly why I didn't buy that game that I KNOW I would love. I cannot stand ubisoft. A joke of a company.

"This is for poo-ing in Wolverine's mouth" needs to be emblazoned on a plaque somewhere in front of a historical monument.

Missed opportunity to bring back the classic “old Rey” and “rude Kenobi” at the end 😢💔

YES PLEASE WATCH SCAVENGERS REIGN! Best modern animation I've seen lately.

B52's on the Star Wars soundtrack is an all-time bit

I enjoyed Furiosa more than I thought I would. Happy that I saw it in the theater and sad to hear that future Mad Max movies may be put on hold.

This topic has been a long time coming and I'm so here for it

I'm going to be SO bummed if Giancarlo doesn't play Magneto

Thank god he’s hydrated

Honestly, Furiosa was fantastic. And it had THE WORST marketing since Blade Runner 2049. Which is nice to be so pleasantly surprised by the film. But what the hell were they thinking by those trailers?! First, they should have called it something like "Wasteland Wars: Furiousa". And the trailer should have shown the "choose one warboy/YOU are awaited!!/WITNESS ME!!!" scene. Such a qasted opportunity for proper hype. But those Hollywood marketing drones only know how to read algorithms. Same problem with 2049. Made it look like a soulless cashgrab. It's so sad that George Miller wont get his next Mad Max made now

Love Furiosa. Saw it twice. Can’t wait to own it. Sad thing, I was only ticket holder/viewer in theatre both times. Sad times. Where my Mad Max fam at!?

The B-52 voice is, in fact, very fun to hear and do

I couldn't drive while listening to this epsr😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 That rant chefs kiss

1:39:20 Kate Pierson of the B-52s is alive, thankfully.

I've met Fred from The B-52's and Mason's take is only slightly exaggerated.

Man, you missed a Corn of Coblin reference AND a Rodney Supercut reference withing moments of each other!

26:49 😅"i forgot what we were talking about"

James, Bad Boys 4 is even worse than you think - it had its world premiere in Saudi Arabia. So we can add Movie Washing to MBS's portfolio of rebranding that includes Sports Washing and Green Washing (NEOM). This must be enough to warrant at least a dodgy news segement on the podcast, even if you refuse to watch the movie itself...

I had a recent theater experience like what James went through - I went to see Stopmotion, and the only people in the theater were me and a couple. I got there early-ish and took my spot, and the couple later came in, loudly proclaimed "oh, we can just sit wherever we want!" and the fuckers sat literally right behind me. Genuinely what the fuck goes through some people's heads

Their sidetrack about AU-exclusive GI Joe characters made me think of the Wrath Club “Australian Diplomacy” video. If James or Maso reads this, give it a watch, you’ll get a kick out of it

Ayooo the section where dude decided to sit next to James (or Mason) I still have trouble differentiating but I swear I love you guys soooo much 🩵 BUT THAT was cinema !! Truly so HILARIOUS had me crying on the work floor. Love you guys always - 🩵🩵🩵 (me; James and/or Mason; and/or James or Mason) 😂😂😂

I'm concerned that James isn't immediately guzzling from the opened can. I need to make sure James is hydrated to the point he starts hiccuping.

oh shit CELLULAR mention!! love that movie

James is right, I'm pretty sure if the new blade movie was just the first blade movie again without the goofy 90s editing and CGI it would be the perfect blade movie. Because those were the only things holding the first blade movie back.

Should’ve just got prince of Persia on switch. I just keep hitting ‘maybe later’ for the Ubisoft account.

There's actually 'some' potential if that Mummy prequel is about O'Connell's mercenary/French Foreign Legion days before he gets involved in mummy stuff. But I confess this isn't the legacy sequel I really wanted, which would bring back Brendan, Rachel, John, Oded, etc.

Masso is 100% correct. A lot of ppl do imagine themselves as the protagonist. I never thought about it that way. I was a huge gamer back in the day. I’d get up 4 hrs before I had to go to work just to get some time in. Whenever I had the chance to create my own character I’d create a woman. My friends and even my girlfriend couldn’t fathom it. Some even wondered if I were gay? I couldn’t understand their way of thinking? They would ask why play a female character? Well, because I’m not gay and I’m forced to stare at an ass for 12 hrs I’d prefer it to be hairless.. Heavenly sword was a great game in my opinion. Not without its flaws but a fantastic story and Andy serkis is played the villain through mocap. I think I understand why if failed now. Both main characters were female. Ppl are fucking weird.

I like the part when you open up a cold beer

Yaaay. New episode

I thought the film was called Wolfs because they are each a self-proclaimed lone wolf. And Wolfs is a sign of them not wanting to work together even when they are working toegether.

No "1 minute ago, no views. You guys fell off" comment yet? You guys fell off.

Another classic James rant episode. It's been too long.

I hope James is hydrated enough

Time to refill Mason's Ritalin prescription

Big Night is a perfect lil gem of a movie, DIRECTED by tucci as well. one of my favorites, i always knew mason had great taste in stanley tucci directed movies.

We should call it Zack Snyder's 299

Is the blade movie is gonna be the new Gambit movie? And by that I mean it gets announced and then gets pushed back for an eternity until it gets cancelled?

I too am enjoying prince of persia and when it first came out it let you skip the login, but now it won't let you play the game without it... that is unless you don't have an internet connection. So in a sense it really is a old school video game because i sure as hell don't have an ubisoft account

they should have a josh brolin cameo since he was cable and thanos

people who think Furiousa bombed because it's about a woman forget that Fury Road also bombed. There was anger because the movie was more about Charlize Theron and Fury Road, but apparently, Furiosa is more about Chris Hemsworth than Anya Taylor Joy, so what's the run. It's manufactured anger coming from people who are unhappy, and I know this because I used to get the same way about this shit too, and it all stemmed from not being able to talk to women. Don't hate post on Furiosa, She Hulk, and Rachel Ziegler for saying stupid things in an interview about a movie you weren't going to watch anyway, and just start taking care of yourself. Find a passion, get a haircut, and rid yourself of the false perception that woman only like assholes. You just know a woman who is dating an asshole, and trust, she would be a lot happier if the person she loved was nicer. This is the way. You might not even end up in a relationship, but I promise you, you will definitely be happier.

I'm cautiously optimistic about the Transformers/G.i.Joe movie, I love the Bumblebee movie and rise of the beasts. I hope Hemsworth isn't the new permanent voice for Optimus. If it's anything like the bay movies I'll be really sad

"Community" reference!

They dropped this an hour after the Venom trailer

1:26:00 This is gold

I love you guys

Yo the watchers was based off a book, and that book has a reference from some Japanese card game on the phone. And I could tell the twist instantly anyway. The watchers can be traced to some poopy Japanese mobile tcg.

Why is Sony so bad at making decisions across the board? They’re like the American government of companies

Yea AMC theater in the states its like 27 a month you can see whatever unlimited. Im.pretty sure there are off times though like you can't use it fri or sat between 4-10

Can’t wait for the steroid product placement in Masters of the Universe

Bryan Cranston will eventually take over as Optimus Prime. I’d bet $10 on it.

Oh YEAH, Jeremy Renner was on that hot sauce bottle. Also you guys recorded this before it was announced but you missed Josh Brolin in Wake Up Dead Man

Funny to hear the talk about Millarworld because I'm in the midst of blitzing through all of the Millarworld comics (I've been saving The Secret Service/Kingsmen, Kick-Ass/Hit-Girl, and The Big Game for last), partly inspired by my randomly going "what is Jupiter's Legacy actually supposed to have been?" and I think later hearing about The Big Game being this big crossover, so I wanted to know all the source material. Huck is one of my favourites, Super Crooks was fun (that anime adaptation on Netflix is a lot more faithful than I expected, possibly the most of any Millar adaptation I've seen), and I liked The Magic Order at times. Some of his stuff (like Wanted) is very "edgy cringe" (wow, do I prefer the movie) and it feels like he's really bad at writing anti-heroes or villains (Nemesis particularly grates, especially in the first run), but surprisingly excels in writing really good people (like Huck). His pacing is definitely my biggest problem: I feel like Jupiter's Legacy blitzed through events so much that I didn't really care much about what was happening most of the time, particularly as character often takes a backseat to plot in a lot of his stories (though not all). Sometimes it leads to character inconsistency (Chrononauts has suffered from that, for example), or sometimes it just feels like some things resolve and change too easily (Prodigy has that issue, but also that weird pulp cliffhanger thing where it feels like you cut off the end of an episode and put it at the start of the next, to entice people to watch on). All that said, I do appreciate and like a decent amount of his stuff...though maybe they are best used as the basis for something else, like a movie or TV series. Not sure if this has worked out for Netflix, but it is weird to see their logo show up in comic credits. Wow, James really gets heated. Glad Fred Schneider from the B-52's was able to join the podcast, at least.

Wow I'm never this early.

40:33 made me laugh so much, I hate it when that happens

That He-Man synopsis sounds horrible. I'm dreading it

"Using AI to streamline more efficient movie making" sounds to me like "figuring out ways to not pay actual humans, and cutting costs and departments". I guarantee this is all just about saving money on staff costs.

Mason is 100% right about how crazy people got about NFT's just for them to disappear

Beyonce No Way Home is just 2 hours of those instagram message scams except she's actually trying to get money for a flight because her cards are frozen or something.

Any time that anyone mentions Piers Morgan, all I can think about in that time Brett Lee broke his arm, good times

Yeah!

Higher Ground produced that kids show Waffles and Mochi. I thought that was pretty good.

Sony watched the episode of South Park with Awesome-O the robot who was just Cartman in a cardboard box that pitched different Adam Sandler movies and thought " this is the future of cinema."

the opening weekend worship is so strange because if you look at like, Avatar 1 and 2 (1st and 3rd highest grossing movies of all time) compared to Star Wars or any of the Avengers their opening weekends are pretty good but not spectacular but then if you go by highest box office of all time by weekend both movies start at like 40-50th place for opening weekend, go to like 30th place for second weekend, and then rockets up to 3rd and first place for 3rd weekend and then stay in the top 10 for another 10 weekends and no other movie are like that. I can't really accept that opening weekends are the only ways to make money for a movie when two of the top 3 highest grossing movies ever did not get there with a single weekend

Hey Fred Schneider, what are you doing?!

Furiosa was sooo f*cking good! Every moment of that movie was perfect. I think I might like it better than Fury Road. First movie to get me out to the theater in years. I can not understand the negative reviews.

We have daredevil coke bottles in the States, with that I assume it's all the "new" heroes

I think ai integration will be more in tracking trends and consumer data in order to capitalize on changing trends and streamlining things like production costs analysis as well as utilizing intellectual property rights without the actual property needing to be present. 😢

I'm worried that James is dehydrated he keeps popping open soda cans in the intro. Soda doesn't hydrate you James you need to drink more water.

James, you fool; it's because they're both "a lone wolf". 2 lone wolfs working together are just wolves and they cannot be lone!

I never BEEN THIS on time!! sad excitement is the only kind i get!!

I got so sad about people not watching Furiosa that i had to stop the video. it's a rly good film, and if you liked Fury Road you should watch it.

Damn you guys just missed out on venoms new trailer sadly 😭
