Maaon's rant about Men who hate movies because they can't imagine themselves as a woman is my favourite thing I've heard in weeks

[@philipdavid8026]

So is James hydrated because he drank a soda during the episode or should I be concerned that he needed the drink in the first place cause he's dehydrated.

[@TheRainbowThief]

Yes

[@cringusmoss9937]

He was dehydrated, then he hydrated with a dehydrating sodie pop.

[@dylananderson310]

I was just wondering the same, #cancelmrsunday

[@shinobi-no-bueno]

He's dehydrated BECAUSE he drank the soda. It's a vicious cycle.

1:28:44 is not an old man rant, the state of owning a fucking video game and being able to play it being a total process depending on the publisher is just a problem in general and its exactly why I didn't buy that game that I KNOW I would love. I cannot stand ubisoft. A joke of a company.

[@Itabouttodo]

So far every time James has cracked a can at the introduction the image of Marky Mark slamming a Bud light in the street for America has popped into my head. Thank you.

This needs to be up higher. I fell a little behind on listening to the pod and when I heard Maso say Kate Pherson was dead I was kinda shocked. As a B52s fan I'm happy to see that he was misinformed

Listen Zack, I'll watch your 300 prequel, but it needs to be followed by 298 more prequels, and also it needs to be called 299.

I had a recent theater experience like what James went through - I went to see Stopmotion, and the only people in the theater were me and a couple. I got there early-ish and took my spot, and the couple later came in, loudly proclaimed "oh, we can just sit wherever we want!" and the fuckers sat literally right behind me. Genuinely what the fuck goes through some people's heads

[@knightfallprotocol]

James is right, I'm pretty sure if the new blade movie was just the first blade movie again without the goofy 90s editing and CGI it would be the perfect blade movie. Because those were the only things holding the first blade movie back.

[@marktrinko8082]

I've met Fred from The B-52's and Mason's take is only slightly exaggerated.

[@Nirosmir]

James, I recall going to the movies, I can't remember what movie I watched, it wasn't a full room, a couple group of people here and there. I got my seat in a nice area away from everyone, previews start, it's all going well, then this guy comes in, walks up the stairs, goes in the row I was in......sits right next to me!

Their sidetrack about AU-exclusive GI Joe characters made me think of the Wrath Club “Australian Diplomacy” video. If James or Maso reads this, give it a watch, you’ll get a kick out of it

It doesn’t help that it’s actually just one guy playing two characters by changing his voice slightly

[@Samael_Morningstar666]

16:00 I funnily enough jokingly said to someone years ago that Dr. Strange would open a portal to get people to help fight Thanos and Deadpool would pop his head out and say “Hi! We’ve been looking for you, the truth is we would have gotten here sooner, but we got lost along the way.” And he’d walk out with the Fox X-Men characters following behind him

[@WyldWhetherBrothers]

Thank god he’s hydrated

Rian Johnson does everything with the power of his massive, perfectly spherical head.

[@carpeimodiem]

Honestly, Furiosa was fantastic. And it had THE WORST marketing since Blade Runner 2049. Which is nice to be so pleasantly surprised by the film. But what the hell were they thinking by those trailers?! First, they should have called it something like "Wasteland Wars: Furiousa". And the trailer should have shown the "choose one warboy/YOU are awaited!!/WITNESS ME!!!" scene. Such a qasted opportunity for proper hype. But those Hollywood marketing drones only know how to read algorithms. Same problem with 2049. Made it look like a soulless cashgrab. It's so sad that George Miller wont get his next Mad Max made now

[@johneicher2054]

people who think Furiousa bombed because it's about a woman forget that Fury Road also bombed. There was anger because the movie was more about Charlize Theron and Fury Road, but apparently, Furiosa is more about Chris Hemsworth than Anya Taylor Joy, so what's the run. It's manufactured anger coming from people who are unhappy, and I know this because I used to get the same way about this shit too, and it all stemmed from not being able to talk to women. Don't hate post on Furiosa, She Hulk, and Rachel Ziegler for saying stupid things in an interview about a movie you weren't going to watch anyway, and just start taking care of yourself. Find a passion, get a haircut, and rid yourself of the false perception that woman only like assholes. You just know a woman who is dating an asshole, and trust, she would be a lot happier if the person she loved was nicer. This is the way. You might not even end up in a relationship, but I promise you, you will definitely be happier.

[@JJJBunney001]

Hate post on she hulk because it was just bad, but the rest you're right 😂

[@matthemming9105]

James, Bad Boys 4 is even worse than you think - it had its world premiere in Saudi Arabia. So we can add Movie Washing to MBS's portfolio of rebranding that includes Sports Washing and Green Washing (NEOM). This must be enough to warrant at least a dodgy news segement on the podcast, even if you refuse to watch the movie itself...

[@frankcooke1692]

"Hey everyone we just build the world's tallest building! Are we all impressed?" Nah, not really, that hasn't been a thing since about the 1930s. Can I drink there?

If Sony makes a large language model that generates movies based on their own IP, it'll be like the film version of Panera's The Lemonade that Kills You.

[@Marabcd315]

the opening weekend worship is so strange because if you look at like, Avatar 1 and 2 (1st and 3rd highest grossing movies of all time) compared to Star Wars or any of the Avengers their opening weekends are pretty good but not spectacular but then if you go by highest box office of all time by weekend both movies start at like 40-50th place for opening weekend, go to like 30th place for second weekend, and then rockets up to 3rd and first place for 3rd weekend and then stay in the top 10 for another 10 weekends and no other movie are like that. I can't really accept that opening weekends are the only ways to make money for a movie when two of the top 3 highest grossing movies ever did not get there with a single weekend

[@dariendarkhouse8538]

I'm going to be SO bummed if Giancarlo doesn't play Magneto

12:41 - that's the joke when I remembered to like it. Usually when I laugh, I remember to "give it a like".

[@milesbosworthmusic]

Maybe they named the movie "Wolfs" because both characters think of themselves as a lone wolf? They pulled off a nice "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" reference too.

[@Tuaron]

Funny to hear the talk about Millarworld because I'm in the midst of blitzing through all of the Millarworld comics (I've been saving The Secret Service/Kingsmen, Kick-Ass/Hit-Girl, and The Big Game for last), partly inspired by my randomly going "what is Jupiter's Legacy actually supposed to have been?" and I think later hearing about The Big Game being this big crossover, so I wanted to know all the source material. Huck is one of my favourites, Super Crooks was fun (that anime adaptation on Netflix is a lot more faithful than I expected, possibly the most of any Millar adaptation I've seen), and I liked The Magic Order at times. Some of his stuff (like Wanted) is very "edgy cringe" (wow, do I prefer the movie) and it feels like he's really bad at writing anti-heroes or villains (Nemesis particularly grates, especially in the first run), but surprisingly excels in writing really good people (like Huck). His pacing is definitely my biggest problem: I feel like Jupiter's Legacy blitzed through events so much that I didn't really care much about what was happening most of the time, particularly as character often takes a backseat to plot in a lot of his stories (though not all). Sometimes it leads to character inconsistency (Chrononauts has suffered from that, for example), or sometimes it just feels like some things resolve and change too easily (Prodigy has that issue, but also that weird pulp cliffhanger thing where it feels like you cut off the end of an episode and put it at the start of the next, to entice people to watch on). All that said, I do appreciate and like a decent amount of his stuff...though maybe they are best used as the basis for something else, like a movie or TV series. Not sure if this has worked out for Netflix, but it is weird to see their logo show up in comic credits. Wow, James really gets heated. Glad Fred Schneider from the B-52's was able to join the podcast, at least.

[@KareemHarper]

I loved Furiosa and Dementus. I really hate the haters that are going to prevent us from getting more Wasteland out of Miller.

[@BlamoStramo]

I'm cautiously optimistic about the Transformers/G.i.Joe movie, I love the Bumblebee movie and rise of the beasts. I hope Hemsworth isn't the new permanent voice for Optimus. If it's anything like the bay movies I'll be really sad

26:05 - A report from Sept. 2024 says that the Office of the Special Investigator could soon bring criminal charges against Ben Roberts-Smith, including further alleged war crimes and other criminal matters. Roberts-Smith was named 2013 Australian Father of the Year by The Shepherd Centre, a not-for-profit charitable organisation. On retirement from the army in 2015, he moved to Queensland with his wife and daughters. In December 2020, their divorce was finalised. In 2017-2018, Roberts-Smith allegedly had a six-month affair with an unnamed woman given the pseudonym "Person 17" in the defamation trial that he initiated. When Person 17 became pregnant, Roberts-Smith allegedly hired a private investigator to monitor Person 17 and confirm her attendance at an abortion clinic. Person 17 accused Roberts-Smith of punching her in the face after a dinner at Parliament House in 2018. Roberts-Smith denies ever striking her. Person 17 also accused Roberts-Smith of coaching her on how to explain a black eye resulting from the alleged assault.

[@jessejorgensen3931]

Masso is 100% correct. A lot of ppl do imagine themselves as the protagonist. I never thought about it that way. I was a huge gamer back in the day. I’d get up 4 hrs before I had to go to work just to get some time in. Whenever I had the chance to create my own character I’d create a woman. My friends and even my girlfriend couldn’t fathom it. Some even wondered if I were gay? I couldn’t understand their way of thinking? They would ask why play a female character? Well, because I’m not gay and I’m forced to stare at an ass for 12 hrs I’d prefer it to be hairless.. Heavenly sword was a great game in my opinion. Not without its flaws but a fantastic story and Andy serkis is played the villain through mocap. I think I understand why if failed now. Both main characters were female. Ppl are fucking weird.

[@Infinite_Repeat]

It’s funny me and my sister loves RPGs and we never made characters that looked like us because obviously we wanted to role play it wasn’t till I started to watch gameplay on KZbin and twitch that I realized other people didn’t do this most people would always make characters that looked like them and name themselves in the game and that just never seemed fun to me

[@epicbruhmoment6985]

Ive seen the theory that Giancarlo Esposito is gonna be Stryker which I could see making sense for this movie. I imagine this movie probably revolves around Super Soldier stuff a bit since Sam lacks it and Ross is obsessed with that shit, climaxing in him becoming Red Hulk. So maybe Stryker shows up in the post credit scene and takes Ross's assets for Weapon X. I think theyre really trying to lean into the X-Men now so it'd make sense to start here. I could see Stryker being an underwhelming role for him though.

It stars Will Forte as a True Crime Podcaster who, through a deal with The Guardian, is teamed with an investigative journalist lying low after a story goes bad. Along with a young researcher, they travel to Ireland, and the eponymous town, to make a show about a decades old cold case that may not actually be cold.
