Bless you Raw Collings for all your good deeds.

6 minutes discussing the SPUMM is crazy, that's more time that Sony spent thinking about the entire thing

noooooo i forgot to vote

[@ellaisplotting]

Love you RAW, what a legend! 😊💕💕💕

My phone currently has 25% left and the charging port is broken and it just won't take charge anymore so I plan to spend the last 25% listening to the weekly planet podcast. Like Captain Jack in Pirates Of The Carribbean 1. We shall all down with the ship together.

Rip, it might be the wire, also if your phone has wireless charging that could save you best of luck

I have the same problem and I have a magnetic wireless charger that attaches to my phone. Highly recommend

I choose to believe that Nolan was making the Odyssey all along, but he told Tom Holland it was Heli-Cops because he knew he would spill the beans

Weekly minus January

[@cluckendip]

I got the Winter Soldier's identity spoiled for me when he was released as a DLC character for LEGO Marvel Superheroes 2013 and the description mentioned that it was actually Bucky lol.

[@MrShadowswrath]

at the scooby doo segment: i recently learned from a video where a dude overanalyzed whether the scooby gang could defeat light from death note that apparently over years of scooby/dc crossovers in comics and cartoons it's apparently loose canon that batman and talia al ghul both consider velma to be the second best detective in the world and batman directly offered her the position of robin.

[@reedraikes7471]

Thank you so much for this

A merry Christmas and happy news year to both James Sunday and Nick Movies

Yes James I'm still alive and painfully aware of what you're up to!!! Every time I listen to the podcast it reminds me of my dwindling mortality, so thank you for all the laughs. Your primary school doppelganger, Tristan.

I don't remember the episode, but the old timey movie set bit ('BRRRIINNG' *sets move around* 'I can't work like this!') lives rent free in my head.

[@rinfinity930]

Todd Phillips should be considered for the Most Normal Man award. Considering he trolled everybody with Joker 2, got WB to spent 200m on it, during the whole promotional tour couldn't decide if movie was actual musical or not.

[@Hugh_Jannis]

You should do a TV Shoes segment. Like who has the best shoes each week on TV

Y'all are the bestest, it was an incredible year, filled with spumm yet tremendous either way. To my favorite mates, thank you, stay prayed up (and hydrated of course)

[@xGhostCat]

I dont get why people say who The Last ronin is a spoiler. The first issue straight up tells you. The why is the story not the who.

[@Haysey_Draws]

And we end the year with one of James classic rants about... Batman and Scooby Doo. Brilliant!

[@aldiberisha65]

We are all currently adrift at sea. Unaware of which way is Christmas and which way is new year. Running on just snacks and left over meat until a blinding lighthouse lights the way home whispering out to you. "It's Monday"

[@AllInTheGame01]

Thanks for the laughs in '24!

[@Hession0Drasha]

Soo happy if the Titans rumour is true. The worst decision gunn could make, is skipping over all the robins, to start with Damian wayne. Not sure if 6 is too much, but i'd add wonder girl to the CN teen titans lineup. That'd be the best possible lineup to start with. It'd be cool if there's a laddering of ages, with cyborg being the oldest and Raven/BB being the youngest, to give the dynamic a mixture of friend and familly elements. The most important thing about the Titans, are that like the x-men a good chunk of the screen time, should be dedicated to slice of life and interpersonal moments/growth and not just plot.

[@JackMichael-w9g]

Thank you, Mytimetoshinehello

[@FallenGemini]

Before Jason Todd came back and Tim Drake was the current comics, the Bruce Timm BTAS cartoon gave Tim Drake all of Jason Todd's good stuff - they gave him Jason Todd's origin.

[@Steven-z9s6h]

I really liked my adventures with Superman

[@Alllex]

Despite never being officially named, the Robin from the Teen Titans animated series is Dick Grayson. While his appearance is based a bit off of Tim, the Robin in the show has a brief flashback to where we see his parents die in the circus, he becomes Nightwing in a future episode, at one point they draw his hair as a callback to Robin's first 1940 appearance, and there's a 5th dimensional version of Robin that appears with the name Nosyarg Kcid which is Dick Grayson backwards.

[@AgentMS]

I feel like the yearly award are overshading the amazing retelling of Batman x Scooby Doo, Issue I Really hope it makes it into the best of 2024!

[@KingClovis]

Woo Woo! Happy 2025!

[@pamela-623]

happy new year! lets hope for more thoughts and prizes in 2025

[@blipmachine]

I think the MVP of the year goes to Avi Arad and the Sony executive squad for helping movie goers rediscover their love of cinema and fall in love with the big screen once again. They should re-release Kraven to celebrate this seminal moment.

[@skilledwarman]

Ok I know they said "Obiwan meets Ahsoka" as a joke, but I actually wouldn't mind a comic or a novel where Obiwan finds out she's still alive

[@C.J._Owens]

32:45 Mason out here posing potent philosophical questions to AI developers.

[@licechrispies]

I wasn’t expecting the choice for Best Movie lol

[@PandaEatsPlanetEarth]

Things i wish for in 2025: The boys should watch and review The Rookie (even though Mason has seen it). Thoughts and prizes should be renewed for the year. Basically anything that annoys Maso should be continued. Happy new year everyone at the weekly planet. Xxx

[@joaopedrocorrea9946]

Bill Skarsgård and hawkeye have the same hair the diference is that the crow is always greasy

[@theunmitigateddisaster676]

Christopher Nolan should write and direct a little movie called "Blue Harvest."

[@MrOtistetrax]

Re Ninja Turtle movie: the script and film will go to great pains to keep the survivor turtle’s identity a secret until the denouement, but the trailer will include a clear detail that makes it obvious.

[@tylergee3043]

They mentioned andy serkis, hit monkey, and nomitive determinism kinda aping Matt Stewarts bits good thing your all Prime Mates

Can I change my vote?

[@ishyk10]

I can’t believe you gave Red One best movie ever

[@Chord_]

~1:23:46 Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but: The Acolyte was a self-contained story that did not need any follow ups. There's no way in hell it had enough story for three total seasons. It stands fine on its own, and doesn't feel desperately incomplete. Dangling threads, sure, but that's just storytelling sometimes. Let sleeping dogs lie, or whatever. Let lightsaber-chopped hands smolder where they are.

[@alananarchy-w5j]

it's the scariest time of year... and I'm not just talking about bloody tax season

Oh, thank the maker, I can finally mark off a Swat Kats mention on my 2024 bingo card.

[@Dimas5]

Are they spending more on Andor than they did on rings of power?

[@CGISpiderLegs]

I also really hope they do The Last Ronin as a legacy sequel to the original 90's movie. I want to see those suits again! When I was 5, I got to visit the Ninja Turtles set and unsurprisingly had the time of my little life! (It still may be the coolest thing I've ever done and I'm 40 now.) I got to meet all the guys who wore the turtle suits, hang out with the Foot Clan while wearing one of their masks and doing a staged karate kick to his head, and got kissed on the cheek by Judith Hoag (April O'Neil). I got all their signatures on a comic book and a poster that I did not take care of and are both now beat to hell yet are still framed and hanging on my wall. Everybody on that set was amazing and really went out of their way to make sure I had a magical time. Anyway. I peaked before I got to kindergarten and I just thought you all should know that. Bring back the suits!

[@Skywalker21O]

😭One day I'll win an award from The Weekly Planet...

[@0ldar]

In reference to the Christopher Nolan 'helicopter cops' stuff - I have no idea about this individual story, but when you brought it up it sounds a LOT like how these MEGA BUDGET movies - when they start pre production - they will often use dummy or fake names for a lot of things. And enter in bogus plots for casting. So you can give potential actors an idea of the dynamic without giving any real plot details away, when even just casting for a movie. It could be a situation like that, or not, who knows?

[@adder2488]

Like, for example, BLUE HARVEST!!

[@thewall4531]

i saw megaopolis in the cinema while drunk and it felt like i was more drunk than i was because of the events of said movie.

[@PurpleColonel]

Will James be leaving his midlife crisis behind? Will this be the end of MrSundayMovies forever??? Tune in next year to find out!

i just want to see batman as the detective investigating clayface murders occasionally and at the end he takes down clayface.

[@ozwaldmosis3603]

1:21:57 My wife insisted we watch Red One and, ya know... Worst movie ever feels harsh, so I get it. It's not great, but it's not COMPLETE shit either, so I get the flip. No need to explain. This is the last Christmas anyone watches that movie but it wasn't unwatchable
