The Tomorrow War & Best Time Travel Methods - The Weekly Planet Podcast 

Mr Monday Movies!

I will always remember Quantum Leap not for the silly moments, but for the episode where he's in the Vietnam War, and Al keeps trying to get him to a particular location at a particular time even though it ends up not being the "reason" he's there. Sam ends up not being able to save these POWs who again end up not being the driving focus of the leap and you get the parting lookback of one of them and it's Al. Just chills.

The Tardis (in Doctor Who) does take the Doctor where he needs to be - at least according to "The Doctor's Wife" where the Tardis is put into Suranne Jones' body (just go with it!): Doctor: You didn't always take me where I wanted to go TARDIS: No, but I always took you where you needed to go

You guys make my Mondays so much better. I honestly think I could listen to you guys chat about how rust forms and enjoy it.

Watched a great episode of Star Trek Deep Space 9 recently where O'Brien is affected by some radiation that keeps sending him the future 5 hours at a time for a few moments, and it ends with the radiation killing him and him asking a 5hr future version of himself to go back in his place to solve the big problem of the episode. great show, lousy time travel. Season 3 Episode 17 btw

Nick’s rant about Space Jam is genuinely my favorite thing.

I'm most interested in the origin of Tony Soprano's catchphrase "Ho!"

My favorite method to listen to the weekly planet is watch the Pitch Meeting for the movie prior to listening to this podcast. Then I can pretend I watched the movie and have a good laugh.

Hey, that 'doctor strange silhouette' thing was just a technical glitch! it was disproven a few days ago.

One of my old high school theater teachers is an extra in The Tomorrow War and back during class he always made sure to brag about him being in a movie with Chris Pratt. Wasn’t a very nice guy so happy to see the movie not being received well

Hey ^^ nice shoutout to Thew! I watch him whenever he posts something. He's a real wordsmith 👍 funny as hell

I’d choose the tardis because you also get a massive house and unlimited food so it’s useful for just living. Also you would never have to sit on a plane again

Don't ever change the opening!

I'm so in love with the bit where James just geeks out over The Time Traveler's Wife, and even more so because he was talking about the book.

What about the book/limited series 11.22.63 where you just walk in a closet and show up in the 60s but it resets every time you go through

What I'm hearing is the problem with everything is that cops show up.

Young me never got over how Doc never addresses just bypassing or disabling the DeLorean's speedometer sensor to avoid dealing with the 88mph requirement he built in order to prevent accidental time travel in BTTF3.

If you are doing time travel movie comparisons - make sure to screen Primer. It’s very good.

Mason: Mentions Thew Me: "What is this, a crossover episode?!" ;P Honestly though, Thew's great. He's lively, smart, funny. His videos are actual great creative pieces. He's basically the only toy reviewer I can stand, because he's more than disembodied arms behind a camera.

THEW!!!! It's like my favorite Australian RU-vidrs discovered my favorite British RU-vidr?!?!?!?!?!??!? Very happy.

Mr. The Day After Sunday Movies

Best ad for a vpn I have ever heard!

In tomorrow war, the past that his grown up daughter is from is a past without the tomorrow war.

Didn't know what to comment so...this is it lol DON'T CHANGE THE THEME SONG

Ign had a video where they thought the guy who plays Silvio in the many saints of newark is that middle aged looking balding man in the trailer

I also learnt recently that Marvel have a Scarecrow but DC’s came first and has clearly had a way better impact 😅

10:35 Maso using the One Punch Man argument and I can't even be mad. lol

The station agent is awesome!

Predestination has a nice easy mechanism (just a briefcase) BUT it's all determinism which is minimal shenanigans

“Little Magic Spanish Dance”

I was so happy to hear Maso give a shoutout to Downtown Griffy Newms! Blank Check needs more listeners. #FinstockExchange

What you said about any super power being made interesting gave this idea: I speedster who is limited by their own reservations about going fast. Sure, they may be able to go so fast they can turn back time - but wouldn't they be kind of scared? I've had enough of genius scientists telling superheroes "I've done the calculations, if you believe in yourself you can go faster and it will be safe". I'm picturing a realistic story about someone who gets powers and spends the movie trying to use them without getting anyone or themself killed, kinda like chronicle

Robert Swappenheimer 🤣👏🏽

Hell yeah casually comics shout out!

59:20 LOST time travel is completely sporadic (electro pulses) only moves the island and only works for you if you have someone to fix the wheel to stop the skips wherever you happen to be. Also, it literally starts to kill you via some kind of brain damage/aneuryisms if left

The theme songs are the only reason I watch.

tardis is also a very cool house so that's a plus. tbh tardis would be cool, there generally isn't any big issue of you ruining everything by changing history etc. you would have to go on adventures a lot probably, but comparatively. seems okay to me

I so want an all hair-talk episode!

MR sunday mocies talking about k pop isnt something I knew I needed

I love casually comics

Mike and the time travel Mechanics.

Dr Who's T.A.R.D.I.S. is sentient. The reason that Dr Who was able to steal it in the first place was because it wanted to be stolen. It even set it up so that it would be the one that the Doctor stole. It saw a "kindred spirit" of sorts in the Doctor. Or at least the best option it had among the stuffy Timelords. The T.A.R.D.I.S. does not see time as a sequence of events one after the other from beginning to end. It kind of sees "all time at once" in no particular order (to the degree that it is not ever entirely sure when "now" actually is). Therefore, although its external shell (doorway) is directed to specific points in time and space by the Doctor, it will force its own control over the more specific details of the "when" and "where" to varying degrees. Normally choosing the specific place and the specific moment which it thinks will be "the most exciting" for the Doctor (and itself) somewhat guiding the Doctor into events in the process (with mixed and sometimes even tragic results). At times it will even hijack complete control if it deems it necessary, negating what The Doctor wants completely in favour of "a better adventure". The T.A.R.D.I.S.'s sentience is the major reason why The Doctor continually finds themselves in these important moments over and over again in space and time even without Dr Who deliberately seeking them out. The T.A.R.D.I.S. is just as rogue as a time machine as the Doctor is as a timelord... making them a sort of perfect couple. Within the limitations of their separate physical circumstance and without the ability to directly communicate they are quite in love with each other... and it was a "love at first sight" scenario for them both. "Companions" come and go... but they are the true love story relationship of Dr Who.

Swapenheimer got me

Django/Zorro is actually pretty good and really fun

The Austin Powers Pimp Mobile!

Maso fucks with MF DOOM!!?? I'm somehow even more of a fan and I've been eating Big Sandwiches for almost a year now. Also Murs is a good rapper from LA who looked up to DOOM himself... sad to hear his looney toons bars are wack

The best time travel film ive seen in recent years is Safety Not Guaranteed and bonus it has Aubrey Plaza

Boys from the Dwarf!!

for the next versus, can you do Alien from Alien VS John McClane from Die Hard?

Omg Casually Comics is the best! Sash rocks!

Don't believe we've seen the timelines about to cross in Loki as of yet (unless I missed it in episode 2). Thinking that will lead into Spiderman No Way Home, so maybe they are waiting to drop the trailer until then.

What about the remote from Click? Or the Machine from Contact that makes Jodie Foster look like a liar? These are my inputs

Can we get a movie poster for Swat but instead it’s Swap?

"It's not Atuma!" (bwa-hah hahh!)

Had to read tomorrow blah blah at school here in NZ probably a decade odd ago

I'm disappointed that JCVD's TimeCop character did not show up in Marvel Studio's Disney+ Loki Series. Perfect opportunity to fold him into the MCU.

Rachel McAdams is in how many time travel movies ?

Did they mention tenet?

Best usage of time travel I've seen lately was in the 12 Monkeys TV show. Spoiler: They went back in time and killed Hitler too (I think someone equally nasty took over and things played out roughly as they always did).

Anyone who watches Thew Adams has good taste

What about the movie Boss Level? Loved that shit

I’d take Tarantino on in MTG

Yo !!! Rachel Mcadams been bein a time traveler's gf/wife in : The time traveler's wife, About time, Midnight in Paris...

New Rockstars did a video on the wandavision post credits scene. I think he mightve explained what's actually happening

Part of me feels like mr sunday thinks if he just promises to change the theme we wont notice the he never will 😂

There was a post on reddit explaining the odd floating shape in the post credits of WandaVision. It turns out they masked an area of light that was shining through the door to make it less distracting, and for whatever reason they forgot to remove the mask on the zoomed out view. It's more compelling than any secret semi-transparent floating Dr Strange/Vision explanation. If you search the post and watch the video attached to it, the floating shape perfectly matches the shape of the window that was masked out. So it's not secretly Mephisto or Cthon, it's more likely a graphics artist who was in a hurry to finish up for the day combined with an unusual (on Marvel's part) misstep during the QA. So, no great conspiracy there. The erasure of that duck, on the other hand...

oh damn that BTS Meal is causing a national chaos few weeks ago in my country, i dunno about the other countries tho

Wasn’t there a Dr Who episode that showed the Tardis does have a mind of its own and does take him places to do certain things just like Nick theorized. I think it was called The Doctors Wife

I’m sorry, I don’t know anything about Red Dwarf, but am I correct in thinking it’s a Blues Clues “blue-ska-doo” situation?

Hey can you please tell me how to turn the weather widget off on my computer machine?

James always seems like he's eager to leave by the last 2 segments, latley

👍👍

This is 2 years late and I sincerely doubt you'll see this comment. But, the thing that saddens me about The Tomorrow War is that I truly enjoyed it yet because streaming is the way it is, Paramount will NEVER release it for home video. I hate that they acquired it because of the pandemic. There are so many films these days that are on streaming services that will never see the light of day because the companies that own the distribution rights don't want people to see it anywhere except their service...even if it's not a draw. The Adam Project, Prey, The Outsider, Blood Machines, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, Project Power, Day Shift, the list goes on. And if they ever remove them from the servers for whatever reason then they're just...gone forever. And even when they're not removed such as in the case of this movie or others like it, they're more quickly forgotten because they're not physically in the public eye when we visit our local Walmart or Target and they get buried under a mile long digital queue that no one will ever scroll through. As a cinephile and a collector of physical media, I really and truly hate this all digital future that Hollywood is trying so desperately to force us into.

BTS? BT-Yes

Yeah they still make you read tomorrow when the war began, or atleast out school made us. I had to read it like 4 years ago back in highschool

The BTS Meal was basically just a couple of limited time sauces. The Sweet Chili was great and the creamy Cajun sauce smoothed out its spiciness for a great double dip. I got it once a week and I don't like BTS, and I'm a total JYP Stan. (JYP's meal would be Double Cheeseburger, Extra Cheese and whatever soda Bobby Brown likes).

I’m pretty sure hoodwinked was the first to do Granny does the matrix

My theory is the changing timelines of Loki are actively changing the other shows.

17:11 It was confirmed to be an editing mistake. Later on you can see what it's actually covering up... DUCKS. Yes. Ducks. Why they didn't just cover it up for only those few seconds instead of the entire shot, I have no idea

Where are the time stamps 😩

The TARDIS is technically conscious so it does have a mind of its own to an certain extent

*please* change the opening

U forgot the avengers end game and dead pool time travel

When they fell from the the sky in the War of Tomorrow, it was because the time travel tower was destroyed.

Having watched "The Tomorrow War" this was my take on it... Its a modern take on "Starship Troopers" with time travel shenanigans directed by a Michael Bay fan. Its watchable but I'll never rewatch this movie. It's ok. Nothing more. That is all. Good day to all 😁👍

If you guys change the opening it better be a polka version, i will accept nothing else

Don't you dare change that theme song!!!

Never change the theme sound, ever

Now then guys how ya doin'?

Notice how NO ONE is watching the futbol match at the futbol match party

I watched the pilot for the tick back when I came out and thought it sucked so I never gave the series a chance

Why does every future war film involving aliens always have them have tentacles, evolution shows legs are a far better form of transport so all these aliens just be getting stuck to everything with those suction cups on the tentacles, just give them legs

Tom Hiddleston or Jason Statham for recast John McClane

Domhnall Gleeson isn't British, he's Irish

Not too sure about the mcu critique where a film is flawed if it doesnt have major repercussions on follow up films.

You forgot the "Dark" time travel method

Good time travel movie is Jet Li's The One

As far as time loops you missed Russian doll and happy death day

I'm begging you to change the opening. You want it. Just do it.
