Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire - The Weekly Planet Podcast

[@colehopkins]

My favorite part of the show is when they say they're going to do lettuce, sing a big song about lettuce, and then get so distracted by listener mail they forget about their salads entirely

[@jonathantorres8004]

I couldn’t tell you how many years I’ve been listening to these blokes, it’s been that long. But I have to say this might be the funniest thing I’ve ever read down here 😂

[@kylestark8581]

Kong using Mini Kong as a bat has to be one of the funniest things in the franchise 🤣

[@videogamenostalgia]

James is known to do the same with his son I believe

[@kylestark8581]

@@videogamenostalgia damn 😂

[@jonbaxter2254]

Kong's just a bloke having a go.

[@smacksalad]

Monday isnt Monday without this Sunday guy and his man Masoday.

[@qwellen7521]

Kong’s new characterization is basically modern kratos. And I love it.

[@Supernormalbob]

I still can’t believe they made a batter batman Vs Superman Universe out of Godzilla Vs kong

[@OzNozFlomSkeep]

Glad to see the guys pushing through with another episode despite the cockroach problem in studio

[@KareemHarper]

There was a Mothra egg during the King of Monsters end credit sequence. The end game /wall would be a Legendary interpretation of DESTROY ALL MONSTERS.

[@heelmoxley365]

I love James’s ideas for new Ghostbusters

[@casual1443]

After 8 days a week of studying politics in university and warehouse working, sometimes its nice to exercise and listen to a couple of blokes dissecting the inner-workings of kongs and gorchiras bashing some big moths and strategic orangutans. Thx for the weekly pods, fellas.

[@Armoless]

Omg 20:00 the feckin part of Astrix and Oblix that was amazing. Guys. Perfection. This is why we are here.

The monsterverse is finally going the direction of a lot of the older movies, and it makes me very happy

[@AM-uo2kf]

It feels very weird that we’ve had three Godzilla movies in five years. And now Godzilla is sprinting around with King Kong, in the first one he walked at a slow stroll.

[@panarielproductions804]

James reading those Nelson peltz comments nearly made me spit my water out what a fucking ghoul

[@Saz103]

Thumbnail is on point today.

[@ratskraad5890]

I was looking fir this comment

[@BaithNa]

Thunderbolts should just be titled "Black Widow 2" because it has far more to do with the Black Widow movie than any Thunderbolts comic.

[@AMF4562]

Are y’all watching X-men 97? It’s insane

[@ballconei]

Unrelated but... I've been collecting the little bits between duck feathers from my neighbours south lawn n now I've got too much... apparently it's worth some money. I'm not trying to sell it I'm just pointing out that I've got loads of it.

[@bird9230]

I kept waiting for Godzilla and King Kong to kiss. I feel lied to. The x stands for kiss right? Worst action romance I've ever seen.

[@ellaisplotting]

Right behind you there. If you searched Godzilla x Kong online before this film was announced, you'd see plenty of kissing, and more. Feels misleading to make a whole film titled that and yet not include even the chastest smooch.

[@lordly123]

That haunted train idea is actually so good though

[@lyndsaybrown8471]

They'll get Timother Chalemee and do a Pirates of the Caribbean musical.

[@christianmanka3884]

SPOILER showing up to help Godzilla and Kong as well as the zero gravity fight are some of the best parts

[@RamenCupBMG]

1:03:49 there's a yugioh card called "borrelsword dragon" that has an alternate artwork that people call the john lennon art bc it's doing the same walk pose

[@derekwolfe4758]

The intro of the movie with the Nirvana cover song hit!

[@frankcooke1692]

So like, Godzilla and King Kong are good mates but also brothers, right?

[@samfel16]

More like neighbours who tolerate each other and get together for a beer and to watch the big game I reckon

[@factualopinion4275]

It's a social commentary on nick & james

[@davidblank420]

It's not Monday without the mates and brothers.

[@medalion1390]

I think the way I feel about all these Monsterverse movies is probably the same way James feels about Ghostbusters.

[@JokerzRoundTable]

Y’all see that X-men 97 yet?

[@Kagrynac]

I love it! You get James Acaster to be "Blegon Spengler" in the live action "The Real Ghostbusters" and the movie after that you incorporate the *_Extreme Ghostbusters_* to pad the roster even more. At the end of that movie you put a mid-credits scene connecting The Ghostbusters with *M.I.B* , start milking that old cow again. Pack this franchise with all the damn cameos they can!

[@DangerDave-e7u]

Talk about Silverchair sometime.

[@FakeDonut]

21:30 In the non-english asterix translation? No way! You mean, even if, let's say hypothetically, they'd translate asterix into french, the names would still be puns? The effort, man...

[@CobraJayOfficial]

Could you guys pretty please do a commentary for Snake Eyes on big sandwich? 😔

[@Kango234]

Honestly everything they say about how they got so popular at 1:11:54 pretty much applies to why I started following them. I was still on the MCU hype train and watching multiple videos about Wandavision, but not only was their video funny, the editing was incredible and got me to laugh harder than the jokes. And when Marvel fell off, they just started talking about other things.

[@JustWandering]

I haven't seen any trailers for this new Godzilla movie and it sounds so unhinged from James and Mason's description that I'm genuinely not sure if this is an April Fools joke.

[@finger3306]

Nah its pretty insane😂

[@JP-qq2wy]

Snake eyes is back bady!!!

[@davidblank420]

Im excited for Star Trek 4, that cast has a lot of charm.

[@gooner424]

It is hilarious to see an obvious retread that James enjoys vs. Ghostbusters last week where he really didn't enjoy it. They were both Saturday morning cartoon fare, with maybe too many characters but were both enjoyable.

[@Kcoldraz]

50:20 Maybe they offset all the cost on Monarch 😂

[@baggybinny]

Ivan Reitman died? Does James have an alibi?

[@rig-zag]

I'd be interested to see GI Joe x Transformers, but I'd be extremely pumped to see modern live action adaptations of other 80s cartoons like Thundercats or Inhumanoids! Or Voltron vs Transformers!

[@jimjam7928]

12:19 "I don't care about history, I only care about being a prick!" Dr. Peter Venkman.

[@jonbaxter2254]

How is the villain's plan the same as Ghostbusters?

[@jonbaxter2254]

Holy shit, Rodney was in Late Night with the Devil! Great film, he did good.

[@BlackNerd94]

The next and final film should be Godzilla vs. Destoroyah and just end it

[@pliantimpala7858]

RIP Chance Perdomo, I only knew him from Gen V. Poor bugger was killed in a motorcycle accident

[@SleepStudyRelaxLoreHub]

In like 5 years i really want another film where they just give Kong a full Iron Man exoskeleton 😂

[@GoodiePrime]

I'm almost positive they made the Iwe people "telepathic", In "Godzilla X Kong: Exposition" so they didn't have to pay those actors for speaking roles...

[@xGhostCat]

Its a pretty old Godzilla (Mothra) lore thing tbh 😂

[@scipioafricanus2071]

No need to be sad about Don Simpson. He died the way he lived, high on 21 different substances.

[@stoneylonesome7]

I think James and Maso won't watch Snake Eyes because they know if they actually watch it, WE will watch it and when we do, we will realize that James and Maso are in the movie and give a so-so performance hahaha

[@joeaguilera6448]

Cheers great mates 🍻 best pod in the land

[@wontorres]

I appreciate the lore behind the Mr Sunday Movies name

[@fidd0042]

REAL NEWS: James starts doubting his name!

[@charsiuwu8084]

I fully agree with James - the frustration with Ghostbusters comes from it's massive waste of potential.

[@parkmannate4154]

New ratings: Check it Out (finger guns) Wait a minute (check watch) Don't Bother (hand wave and head shake)

[@scottduncan8445]

Don't give me hope that you're gonna do Snake Eyes unless you're gonna do Snake Eyes!!

That’s us seeing this

[@flywheelshyster]

I go to it a little late this morning, hopping onto the exercise bike with the ol steam deck and this playing on the tv.

[@ChrisSmith-tu9bu]

Im wondering if Marvels woes are a result of Feige dropping the ball, Disney, or both because they really dis an excellent job of trail and error and kind of getting thw whole thing down for the first three phases wnd four even started out well but MAN it feels like a trained monkey could Have done better than the MCU...a couple of the scripts were RIDICULOUSLY bad and the continuity was COMPLETELY ignored..so someone REALLY REALLY screwed the pooch BAD

[@jerrybot]

Glad i caught this one early

[@TurboRumble]

I had a great time with Godzilla x Kong. I was really thankful for all the times there could have been a dumbass human character explaining the actions of the monsters or how things like the ice titan being controlled worked but there wasn't. Just really good CGI monsters that told the story through acting.

[@djtmaw]

CAN YOU PLEASE DO GODZILLA FINAL WARS FOR CARAVAN OF GARBAGE?!?! It’s free on KZbin lol

[@alfje5492]

Can't wait for Thunderbolts vs Asterix! My money is on those Gauls who've taken the Roman army on time and again... unless the Thunderbolts have Sentry on their side!

[@KhalidQuesada]

I've never understood the hate for Into Darkness. Maybe because I'm not a Star Trek fan, but personally I love that one.

[@Kango234]

Right there with you, I'm not a fan of Star Trek, but I thought it was pretty great when I saw it.

[@JadenSmithEyes]

Reel News Boys back again with another weekly classic

[@J.O.R.D]

30:55 nah that killed me 🤣🤣

[@SirAsdf]

You can tell the makers of the MonsterVerse movies have no idea whatsoever what to do with the human cast anymore, so they just give the deaf mute girl psychic powers and a chosen one narrative out of nowhere. Meanwhile Bryan Tyree Henry's just here to be unfunny for 2 hours.

[@Kango234]

That's why I hate these movies. I can't "turn my brain off" and enjoy the monsters when the movie is pretending to care about these stupid humans, but none of the actors seem to care.

A question submitted by Mr.Burns’ gubernatorial campaign got through somehow 😝

[@MrOtistetrax]

Three Body Problem: the big question for me is whether D&D are going to realise halfway through that it’s actually a bit hard work adapting an epic book series and they should probably just wind it up early by doing the whole of the last book over a couple of half-hour episodes. With dick jokes.

[@philgood8089]

heard you say "take the quiz", but heard "take the queers" and thought, "OH, SO THE AUSSIES ARE NOT HOMOPHOBIC! THAT'S JUST GREAT!" but i'd still listen. *MASSIVE SHRUG*

So sorry to hear that the podcast is ending!!! Thanks for the memories lads!

[@sXe_Wolverine]

Yeah and the point in the video they announced it at was a really interesting choice, in the grand scheme of the podcast and everything that was discussed

[@Bubblesthewitch]

They need to reboot Pirates of the Caribbean because they have an iconic ride themed around a ticking time bomb for people realizing he is actually a horrible guy. Would it make more sense to just un-theme the ride? Yes. Is Disney run by competent people who would realize that? Well….

[@strudelninja]

Other way around, the movie is themed for the ride. The Depp stuff mostly fell off and I don't think many people riding the ride (which is still immensely popular) particularly care about the Jack cameos.

[@RetroBacon1]

Good King Kong movie. Bad team up movie

[@matterstoyou2970]

Has no one seen or noticed the similarities between KONGs new golden glove/mech glove and the “power claw/claw of leadership” liono has in thundercats. I bet that design was utilized as a reference so the same digital technology the creators of GXKNE can be used since it’s already been used in a way prior. Wingard was probably thinking preemptively if thundercats is indeed the guys new project and not a third G/K film immediately like last time with GvK

[@Elfenlied8675309]

You mean a reference to the golden fleece from Greek mythology thousands of years ago? lmao

[@TheRagingBean]

It's scary cause the script is finished and the cast is ready to film spiderman 4, they were all waiting to get a director. The script is complete and if sony used there in house people I got no faith

[@Limerick98]

Poor Don Simpson. He died after The Rock in 1996 and Michael Bay hasn't made a half-decent movie since then. And Bruckheimer has only had patches of quality. Simpson's headstone should say "He took our fun with him."

[@matthemming9105]

RODNEY!!!!!

[@user-xv4hb7gh1o]

Rodney!!!

[@JustWandering]

So if Peter Parker is detaching himself from being Peter Parker and focusing only on Spider-Man, isn't that what happened to Andrew Garfield's Peter that sent him down the dark path? That he effectively came back to save MCU Peter from by catching MJ and teaching MCU Peter how important brotherhood is and all of that? Like aren't they sort of giving TASM Peter's off-screen character arc to MCU Peter?

[@Nixxxy24]

I know they solved death and there’s a completely unnecessary lingerie scene in Into Darkness, but it’s the best Star Trek
