I met Mason once, just outside Melbourne Central train station. He had 4 woman on his arms and stated to me "im the rizzler, no time for photos". Best. Day. Ever.

[@treyturner9707]

I saw Nick Mason at a grocery store in Melbourne yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

James making the rules : “if the franchise went to animation it doesn’t count” James about Star Wars 5 mins laters: “star wars lived through TOYS”

[@TheEnmity]

I don’t know why but Maso’s response “I got bad news about sandwiches” made me cackle

[@rachelblake2350]

At the mention of George Lazenby, I encourage James and Maso to make a little deep dive video into Lazenby, who was not an actor, and his quest to get hired as the next James Bond actor. It's kind of hilarious.

[@mathiaswalker350]

11:40 That "WTF..?!" by James has such a good delivery to it!

[@Murphys00]

For James the Greenland shark has an incredible life span. They don’t know how old they can live for, but have 250 old sharks they think could live for 400 to 500 years!!! Some fish be old mates

[@ethanfranzen6145]

Came to comment this!!!!

[@RobinMBeatz]

James and Mason have the longest running franchise in history

[@markoarkaina8656]

Mason's Statham accent is on point, and I am here for it.

[@alexanderford3831]

"Mason Statham" sounds like a parallel universe where Jason Statham grows a big beard, and takes on the dramatic role as a striking Melbourne Tram driver.

[@markoarkaina8656]

@@alexanderford3831 I'd pay to see that movie.

[@Kango234]

54:40 Mason's laugh at that comment was so pure.

[@hellfish2309]

Apparently “Rizz” is ripped out of ‘charisma’ … amazing what these kids do w/ the language

[@jenw980]

Believe me, many of us kids didn’t realise that either until a friend told us.

[@Gotham_Media]

i’ve been forcing my friends to watch all the Joel Schumacher movies, and the Phone Booth segment had me rolling.

[@Gotham_Media]

Also love the fact phone booth was talked about during the longest running franchises

[@kingfield99]

The Bill spinoff was called 'Burnside' and featured Chris Ellison in the titular role, it only had 6 episodes, I reckon if they'd called it ''Reg goes wrong' it would still be running today.

[@JakeFromYoutube]

Days of our lives and General hospital both have around 15k episodes and have been around 60 years, and are still running; surprised they weren't mentioned. There's also apparently an animated german show called Sandmännchen that has been airing since 1959, is still actively in production, with 22k episodes.

[@17absolut]

Imagine a movie with Sylvester Stalone, Jason Statham and Mark Wahlberg...and James and Maso have to comment the trailer XD

[@bryanmacfinnlay]

Hearing the boys pronounce it as Mary Land. What a delight!

[@godzy323]

I was nervous yall wouldnt say Godzilla, but ya didnt disappoint!

[@i.m.solomon2280]

I like the "selling news" improv segment. That was pretty funny. Can that be a new reoccurring bit that you only do whenever you remember it? lol love this show

Wanna feel old, The Bowling Soup song 1985 was released in 2004, 19 years after 1985. And It is now 19 years since 2004.

Star Trek has been a thing since '66. Eight live-action television series, three animated series and one short-form companion series, as well as a series of feature films and i love it all.

[@Magmafrost13]

Also, many of thise tv shows are... real fuckin long

[@davidblank420]

@Magmafrost13 Got an attention span thing or just used to 10 episode seasons? 24 episodes? I can't even count that high. We all thought you liked em longer, buddy.

[@celondelon351]

The Saint was British TV series first with Roger Moore in the sixties and again with Ian Olgivy in the late seventies.

[@txt5220]

I saw someone on twitter said it best today. Comparing the Rock to Dave Bautista (and to a lesser extent, John Cena), the latter two wrestlers turned actors put the art first. They accepted roles that they were personally invested in, even if it was for only a few scenes, while the Rock can't help but be the start of anything he's in. They pick roles that showcase their range, while the Rock always just picks roles where he plays the Rocks. Dwayne in his pursuit of that Hollywood bag, has left little to no legacy.

[@blackfacebogart]

Hong Kong had a Wong Fei Hung series with the actor Kwan Tak Hing in the role that went on for 105 films. And that does not include the movies where Kwan Tak Hing reprised the role in the 70s and 80s.

[@SubwoofBarks]

If Matt Damon is too big a star for James to enjoy Oppenheimer then he'll run out of the theater when Robert Downey Jr. is on screen.

[@WeeklyPlanetPodcast]

Yeah but they made him bald so I can’t see him

[@Burner-wb6pf]

1) cinema* not theatre* you mong 2) RDJ isn’t a big star. He’s just iron man. It’s like saying Hayden Christensen is bigger than Matt Damon. They’re not. They just played characters in popular children’s films. Ya prick!

[@ellaisplotting]

@@WeeklyPlanetPodcast this confirms my long held theory that James' sight is hair/wig based

[@PrinceB_407]

I now need a Weekly Planet vexillology pod... A "Fun With Flags" if you will.

[@GojiGuru]

I am that huge fan of Godzilla you called out that has come to fact check you guys lol. 😜 Here you go: Godzilla began in 1954 (not ‘55), and will have two more movies to add to its list by this time next year. At almost 40 movies, several TV series spin-offs, and an almost 70 year history, Godzilla has long held the Guinness Book of World Records award for the Longest Running Film Franchise/Series. So no matter how you dice it, Godzilla technically comes out on top for both movies and TV shows, for it started before any of the others and easily has greater potential longevity than any of its contenders. One Piece and Star Wars will eventually fade away, but they’ll be making Godzilla movies till or species goes extinct. 😄 That, I think, is thanks to Godzilla‘s plasticity as a character, able to adapt to any time, any current social-political issues, any style. Hands down the most diverse film series ever. There’s a Godzilla movie for everyone, even for people who hate Godzilla movies. 😝

[@gojithereploid7623]

Fantastic comment!!!!

[@siobibble9078]

The Simpsons Christmas special wasn’t originally supposed to be the first episode. But they had to delay some episodes because there was severe animation problems

I absolutely adore the "cocaine" bit! I've listened to that bit at least a dozen times!

57:25 I have actually "seen" the Saint pilot/movie at least 2 or 3 times...in the sense that I have told Netflix to start playing it, and it appears in my "watch it again" selections. I could tell you nothing about what happens in the film, however. Absolutely nothing.

[@ailma0400]

I feel like I blacked out during the entirety of that ranking segment like as soon as it started I fast forwarded 30 minutes with no recollection of what happened

[@adamaldabbagh8396]

When they talked about shows being canceled I was like what is "kung fu and the winchesters" as if that was the title of the show. The they elaborated on it and I realized they were talking about 2 different shows but now I kinda want the show I thought it could be lol.

[@LairScavenger]

Same! My guess is it'd be a dysfunctional family sitcom, but they all do kung fu and have to beat up a bad guy every week.

[@adamaldabbagh8396]

[@braindead684]

There's also a Joe Don Baker Walking Tall film from the 70s it's terrible here uses one wrestling move like five times

I thought they actually had Jason Stathon in the studio with them!

[@WaketheFallen131]

in order for the Fast crew to get The Rock (Hobbs and or Shaw) to come back with his signature little goatee, they should put out a marketing campaign saying “Hey The Rock, don’t you think your kids would like you to grow out your Hobbs and or Shaw goatee? They probably screamed at you and didn’t recognize you when you shaved it off and they’re scared of you now, The Rock. Do it for your children, The Rock, grow the goatee back so they love you again.” I reckon that’d do the trick

[@blackfacebogart]

The first 20 Bond films are connected. Two words: Tracy Bond. Also the references of previous entries in On Her Majesty's Secret Service and Die Another Day.

Just to be clear: Chris Eccleston doesn't HATE Doctor Who. He just hates the BBC and their management. He also called out the inappropriate behaviour from John Barrowman at the time which is one of the reasons why he quit the show after one season.

*The DICK WOLF universe is huge. There is law and order, svu, criminal intent, organized crime, trial by jury and law and orders UK & LA. That’s just the law and orders. The svu character John munch started on homicide life on the streets. Then you have Chicago pd, Chicago fire, and Chicago med where the actress who played the Lt. from law and order plays a different character that interacts with people her other character spent years working with and they never address it. Also Richard Belzer had played John Munch on 10 tv series: "Law & Order," "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," "Law and Order: Trial By Jury," "Homicide," "The X-Files," "The Beat," "M.O.N.Y.," "Sesame Street," "The Wire" and "Arrested Development."*

[@AAurum-yy7rv]

I personally will call her Rey Skywalker if anything just to avoid confusion but in universe there’s probably some people who would have an issue with that. The Skywalker name was elevated to a mythical status Anakin was a poster child for the republic and then a martyr. then the name was tarnished for when it came out Vader was that Jesus like figure and also the father of the two biggest heroes/leaders of the rebellion then they find out space hitler is back and big surprise he’s one of their biggest rebel hero’s parent too. I just think most people in this universe are probably sick of both of these families dragging a war on for the nearly the entire past century. All this to say I think it would be kinda neat if we saw that sort of spite towards Rey in the new movies from average citizens. if done well it could even be used as a parallel for fans sometimes undeserved criticism towards her as a character.

[@DynamicSheep]

1873 is WAY too few for the tonight show. At least, it feels that way. 1954 means that this is the show's 69th year. 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year means 260 episodes a year. 260 episodes a year for 67 years (since this year isn't over and is being cut short, and I'm assuming it didn't start 1/1/54) means there'd be 17,420 episodes. EVEN IF you say, well, they actually only do 26 weeks a year, that's STILL almost 9000 episodes. What the hell happened?

[@RecRoomPlays]

The 1800 number is just episodes under Jimmy Fallon, that's probably where the mistake happened. Not every host has done the show five nights a week, though.

If youre including The Simpsons, you need to at least include South Park as it's in 2nd place for animated tv series. And also It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, with its 15th season, the series became the longest-running live-action American comedy series, replacing The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, which ran for 14 seasons (435 episodes) between 1952 and 1966. In December 2020, the series was renewed for a total of four additional seasons, bringing it to 18 seasons in total.
