Best, Worst & Weirdest Movies of the Last Ten Years - The Weekly Planet Podcast

[@zimmschan]

Wow, half way to a billion episodes. Amazing.

[@johnpotts8308]

They should get there in 200 000 AD (or thereabouts)

[@Emanon...]

I wonder how many years it would take to just listen to half a billion episodes...

[@J.O.R.D]

@@Emanon...nearly 10,000

[@jacobp8294]

​@@J.O.R.DI don't know if it's true but I don't know enough about math to dispute it.

[@TkboyOG]

Maths can help everyone here for sure

[@Haysey_Draws]

HAPPY 500! Just to reiterate James comments at the end (i listened to this on Spotify before) if there's something you are interested in...JUST DO IT! When i started listening to the pod back in 2015 i was drowning in debt and had no direction among other things, i then started getting back into drawing and now i have a brand and a community and no more debt, and James and Maso were a big part of giving me to kick to do it! Here's to another 500!

[@chrissadler6459]

You ruined it! You ruined it, and I’m leaving 😢

[@parkmannate4154]

Congrats on being lucky. Look, Ive pursued at least 3 things seriously and none of them ever went anywhere. Now I'm in my mid 40s and work at a bank and hate life. So most of the time pursuing what you love doesn't work out.

[@Thetruepianoman]

​@parkmannate4154 having an attitude like that ensures it. Failure is part of learning and is nowhere near as bad a thing as giving up. Keep going mate you can find something you love. Others can, why not you?

[@parkmannate4154]

@@Thetruepianoman Not everyone can though. And if you try for 25 Years and it hasn't happened its not going to happen buddy.

[@miguelhernandez1407]

So glad i got to hear the original opening theme. "Defenders of the earth" just doesnt have the same ring to it .

[@king_dot]

Yeah same

[@justingeer2543]

Agreed. Original opening was superior

[@delipres2914]

Defenders of the earth was still in the mix but it stood no chance compared to the crushing weight of like 7 years worth of the og all stacked up against the measly 10 months worth of defenders of the earth episodes

[@rainbowcrash6990]

I love defenders of the earth, personally. The lack of coherence really brings it all together for me 😊

[@matthewflowers8563]

Fuck I wish I could leave an extra like for the distorted horror that is the weekly planets theme this week

[@MitchJT]

That was the audio equivalent of red hot news shooting up my butthole

[@broodbynature]

The casual ongoing tease/ fake out/ gag of Snake Eyes throughout this episode was the best way to commemorate 500 episodes. Congratulations, lads.🎉

[@christianmulligan9719]

Fun fact I've always wanted to tell you guys but it never felt like the appropriate time; when I started listening to this podcast it was episode 291. On my podcast app, Google Podcasts, it was titled "291 Weird Versions of Spider-Man" and I thought "Wow they're going to cover so many different versions I've never heard of before, what a cool podcast!" obviously I figured out my blunder quickly, and I've been a devoted Monday morning listener every single week since then. Thanks for all the entertainment you've given me over the years, all the hard times you guys have helped me get through, and all the belly laughs that left me struggling to breathe. Congratulations on 500 James and Maso.

[@JJZPH]

It’s so weird how many different phases of my life have been spent listening to the weekly planet. I used to on the way home from one of my first jobs. I’ve now listened to you when I’ve done traffic management, night work at hotel, reception at gym, serving coffee on a train and now while doing waste management. You made every job easier ❤

[@clintmcbride7830]

That compilation video was something else. It's great that you mentioned it. Not everyone would have. You really are a cut above the rest James. Thanks for being entertaining and motivational.

[@munohlow]

That’s probably what James hears at all times and found the perfect opportunity to share it with the audience

[@bl00sadr]

I'm just glad they're finally going to do Snake Eyes next week

[@TripleD2156]

I know this will get lost in the ether..but I somehow stumbled upon this podcast during the covid lockdowns. I have been a avid listener since. Congrats on the 500th. You really got me through the dark times of not being able to leave my room. Thank you boys for giving endless laughs since. Hoping for another 500. I have now seen myself use the same one liners and type of humor you both do in my conversations and I am a better person b/c of it. Love yall.

[@coolshirtkid]

huge congrats on 500! been following this channel since i was in middle school and i’m 22 now, still my absolute favorite podcast and by far the best way to keep in touch with the entertainment industry, keep up the amazing work! love you guys

[@davidblank420]

Congrats on 500 fellas. Its not a monday until i hear the mates.

[@MaudsleyChris]

54:26 Exodus Gods & Kings was the Ridley Scott film - not Gods of Egypt!! Other than that, keep up the great work, you guys rock and brighten up the days!

[@TheUltraYusuf]

HAPPY 500 Y'ALL!! I only got into your channels and shows in 2020, but I've been a super proud fan ever since! It's awesome to see how much you guys have grown, and I cannot wait to see what comes next!!!!

[@terryf3282]

Happy 500 you guys are my favorite Australian channel! For movies and entertainment i have you guys from Australia, Redlettermedia from the U.S and Off The Shelf Reviews from the UK!

[@TheDullsville]

Speaking from a Visual effects artist stand point, the more studios actually plan things before and during shooting the better things look. 9 times out of 10 if effects look bad it's because very little planning was done or they change their mind during post production (it happens way too often)

[@harmonyislandtaiwan]

HAPPY 500 and thanks for bringing back the themes, Trailers Ahoy should return permenento, listening for Mason's theme and that sweet Becker guitar

[@cameroncurrey]

Fell asleep on my couch after work. Woke up close to midnight and out the new episode on. Not sure if I'm still dreaming or in some loki realm, the new tunes are bonkers

[@MrFaceNumeroUno]

Awesome milestone fellas. You're one of if not my faves here on the inter-tubular coalition

[@andrewkirk9869]

Haven’t watched this yet, but I’m super excited for ya’ll to finally review Snakeyes!

[@eenfx]

Happy 500 lads, glad to have been tuning in to hear your lovely Aussie voices discuss all things media for the better part of the last decade. See you at 501

[@jsostick]

17:43 it's not a movie, it's an animated series and it's great, if you like gravity falls you'll definitely gonna love it

[@alastairmckenziepro]

If anyone is interested in other aboriginal stories, Samson & Delilah is quite a good indie film from a few years ago, and Cleverman tv series is an interesting take on an aboriginal superhero concept

[@JermMoth]

Congrats on 500 hundred episodes fellas. You've definitely made working overnight enjoyable. Here's to another 500.

[@wontorres]

If I had a nickel for every The Weekly Planet Podcast episode there is, I would have 25 dollars

[@Wizardously]

I am generally onboard with all of your picks, which is why it's so jarring when you didn't like Rampage but DID like Brightburn. Rampage is terrible but in a charming way. Brightburn can't decide what it wants to be. It promised a "What if Superman decided to be evil," but instead gave us, "what if we spent all this time building up how cool this kid was and how great his parents are and then just throw all that out to make him a creep with super powers?"

[@mickeydanza8233]

I started listening in middle school and now I’m 20 and work in education, thanks for 500 episodes!

[@JakeGottfriedStudios]

500 episodes over ten years, im glad i found out about these guys this year so i can enjoy all thats before without running out of content for whats new

[@Elnis888]

Well, well, well ... a sign that it's time to come up with something new, maybe? Bloody gotcha! You guys are the best! Well done on the 500, here's to 500 more!

[@jmcd21182]

Yall do great effortlessly hilarious work. I love how the podcast is done in a professionally unprofessional manner. 😂🤣🙃 Been a fan from the start. Thanks for all the entertainment. It has really gotten me through some rough times at work. Looking forward to 500 more 👍 Say high to Rodney for me 😁

[@Carver94]

Great lists guys!!! Reminded me of a lot of movies I loved but forgot and new (old) things to watch 😊😊😊

[@MitchJT]

Congrats on 500 - love this show

[@JvS1711]

Tony Moore, the OG TWD artist, included a bunch of his internetbuddies as background zombies in the first few TWDs. As a result, I'm in a few panels of TWD #1. Nobody ever thought it would be so huge.

[@cui69au]

Wow, how time flies! congrats on 500th ep!

[@ElKabongg42]

Congrats on the huge milestone! Could you just keep adding to the intro each week? I want to experience the horror of 1000 intros

[@helloimtom100]

Woo congrats on the 500 from Texas

[@Soupseed]

I was going to listen to all the good films after listening to this on Spotify, realised I had forgotten what any of them were, came on the KZbin comments section to see if anyone had written them. Now I have to contemplate whether I can be arsed to listen for them again to find out myself! Great 500 episodes, Hopefully at least 2 more!

[@jeffnicholas6342]

I left a like!! Cuz I legitimately like y’all!!

[@yeetus_the_feetus4858]

Happy 500 James and Mason🎉

[@adam7763]

So, James, now that 500 episodes are under the belt, the people want to know: what are your very strong and deeply considered thoughts about Thom Yorke's third solo studio album, Anima?

[@jeffreynunya4716]

Well Anima sounds like anime, which James is thoroughly versed in.

[@Emanon...]

It also sounds like enema, which becomes increasingly likely as an ageing male.

[@bronconova2168]

Congrats on 50 years

[@orinanime]

Oh man. Snake Eyes is in the thumbnail. And when we get to 2021, they even say "we'll get to it, if we have the time". God-damn I love their dedication to the bit! LOL

[@curtymac7]

Snake eyes episode #69 was still the best out of all 500 IMO

[@eastvandb]

Happy 800th show! (I'm including the 300 I've heard in my dreams.)

[@parkmannate4154]

I thought this would be the announcement of James' son taking over the Mr Sunday title Phantom style

[@mmmghool]

Thank you and congrats. Yall are the best.

[@tincano-beans2114]

I can't believe you guys got a reboot of the Rocketeer for the 500th.

[@fhkrewplays6734]

The theme for trailers ahoy is just perfect 😁🎧

[@raistlinmajere5550]

Its gonna be a real let down when someone in 3036 listens to all 10000 of these at hyper injection speeds even after Mason took over with the cyber dog and realizes that they never ever got to the movie Snake Eyes

[@hughbrown496]

Happy 500!

[@puttanesca621]

51:24 The first Australian Super powered person in the MCU was Hellfire (J. T. James) in Agents of Shield (3x16) but that was a few years after The Winter Soldier.

[@brucemichaelwentworth3857]

Best. Pod. Ever. Heres to 500 more! 😎🤘🏿

[@Star_Wars_With_PercyMan]

What’s the point of the Rocketeer without the cool steampunk helmet?!

[@victoryusmc]

The Guest is a fantastic indie movie! Love the synthwave soundtrack bada$$

[@harmonyislandtaiwan]

At the end James quickly says 'I want to thank you Nick Mason', and it sounded like Eunuch Mason...got 'em

[@Green__Man]

Congrats fellas let's make it to 1000 🎉

[@TimmyT1234]

🎶 red hot comic book movie news... 🎶 The insanity of that song is what drew me in the first time I listened 😂

Happy 500 fellas!!!! Fuck yeah

[@RGBJR]

Oh yeah, congrats my dudes!!! It's been a while since you've broken 2 hours...good way to celebrate and kick off the week and autumn and the rest of our lives....you are welcome for the cosmic introspection...do you see what you inspire; lol not just car accidents...good day mates

[@LeadingSol]

Congrats Boys!!🥳

[@painstakeranimations9253]

Wow. It's crazy they actually covered Snake Eyes.

[@otrenigmaandy7443]

I luv you guys (Jimmy and Nicky) 500 times!

[@JefferyBlue]

15:51 Well done James. Thank you. =)

[@TheRoosterofDoom]

Answering that one guy's question, I once played a Star Wars role-playing game and named my character Javier Bardem and made his backstory that he was the real life actor Javier Bardem who time-space traveled into the world of Star Wars just to play trumpet twice a week in a cantina band. Anyway I realized I've not once seen a movie with Javier Bardem in it and one of my goals in life is to continue this trend, and never see any movie with him in it.

[@HobbesDOTexe]

Oh hell yeah. I’m so ready for that Snake Eyes segment

[@Itabouttodo]

Love you guys

[@CDProjekt7]

Happy 500 🥳🍾

[@outerheavengaming6196]

Happy 500th boys! You blokes don't look a day over 300

[@pennywaldrip3774]

Regarding disney+ - I'm incredibly disappointed that I can't watch Werewolf By Night again, now that it's almost Halloween.

[@moses9647]

54:19 as someone named Moses I feel compelled to correct you guys on this. Exodus Gods and Kings was Ridley Scott and was bad. You were describing Alex Proyas's Gods of Egypt which was somehow exponentially worse and forever tainted my view of Chadwick Boseman

[@SpiderJay]

James can you please at least describe the Snake Eyes: Gijoe Origins or whatever its called in one word?

[@Chord_]

Goddammit, that new Trailers Ahoy tune is amazing!

[@kevthepoet]

I don't remember this at all but I liked the video apparently. Weird.

[@The_Swordfish]

10/10 best podcast on the planet!!

[@kleepglorp8923]

That audio of all the episodes together sounds like what you hear when you go to the Event Horizon hell dimension.

[@Anaxelcurveonachalkboard]

Happy 500 mates! studying abroad in Australia next sem and would love to meet any fans

[@s.l.thecoffeeaddict1657]

Happy five hundred!

[@OzNozFlomSkeep]

Wind river? ... Is it? I almost died laughing

[@kingfield99]

Happy pod-birthday chaps, heres' to 500 more! I almost quit over James' baffling love for the terrible movie 'Longshot' but I'm in too deep to let these little things spoil what we have. x PS, Red Dwarf episode soon?

[@user68562-d]

Dude... This version of the theme song ROCKS

[@jussts]

Love the new theme song!

[@tommygigg3500]

It sounds like they confused Gods of Egypt with Exodus: Gods and Kings which was the Ridley Scott directed sequel that came out two years earlier than the original.

[@marcuswalters8093]

31:11 My mate worked at Mamoa's favourite bar in my city and they flipping _hated_ him. Said he acted like a prat all the time. He'd just get pissed and be a nuisance. So he does have form.

[@RoxasPrime557]

54:20 You all are thinking of Gods of Egypt. Exodus Gods and Kings was a Ridley Scott movie about the Moses from the book of Exodus in the bible.

[@TT-md7mm]

1:18:30 It's gotta be the aviation errors, they make a lot of things unrecognizable.

[@troybyrne2916]

Exodus gods and kings was the ridley Scott movie with Christian Bale that other one with real gods came out in 2016 called gods of Eygpt... both were just movies aswell lol

[@rysie-fire]

Jason Mamoa might’ve been just wearing one of his fast and furious outfits 😂

[@19billy]

3 hrs of pure snake eyes joy. I heard they re releasing it in theatres after this review.

[@otrenigmaandy7443]

2:08:41 oh this is the place I go to get screamed at though… no one else yells at me anymore except for James 😂😂

[@Evanderbear]

Can't believe I fell for the snake eyes ruse again 😊

[@alexanderford3831]

500!

[@peteharper3299]

To tie two podcast points together; in 2014 there was a THIRD Hercules movie on top of the one with the Rock and "the other one." It was called Hercules Reborn and it stars ANOTHER WRESTLER, the chap best known as John Morrison in WWE.

[@FlynnTheRedhead]

Such a journey, finally, we have Snake Eyes

[@insertcodename1409]

Happy 500! is what TMNT 2007 characters would've maybe said if TMNT 2007 didn't fail

[@videoquez]

It’s the snake eyes thumbnail for me

[@arthur.m2528]

Blindly throwing 150 million bucks at stuff is peak executive mindset, and the irony of this suit and tie stupidity coming out with a Daredevil reboot is hysterical. Anyways, love y'all, congrats on the 500 episodes from Brazil to Australia S2 P.S: i owe y'all a Bauru

[@Ripheart789]

I'm really hoping you guys do some fincher films for the killer

[@exce1968]

Still come back to this just for the demon spawn intro

[@schurkin2205]

They forgot to mention Far from Home in 2019 and No way Home in 2021 and for 2017's Homecoming they said it's the "second second Spider-man movie". I wonder what is up with that, James?
