Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts - The Weekly Planet Podcast

[@battleupsaber462]

The GI Joe tease at the end of the movie gave me flashbacks to when The Weekly Planet had their episode reviewing Snake Eyes: GI Joe Origins. Boy, what a good memory that was. One of the best episodes of the pod, i can really listen to it over and over and never get tired of it.

[@Dave175]

I listen to it TOO much, because it exists!

[@chrish5136]

​@@Dave175 I have it playing on a loop in my home, like elevator music.

[@alfje5492]

I don't know what I've done, but I can't find that episode anymore: I listened to it countless times on my generic podcatcher, but now, it's nowhere to be found! I don't know how I'll continue with my life now

[@markoarkaina8656]

I still can't believe that James gets Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason to appear on the show every week, but I guess that's the pull of the Australian Podcast Awards.

[@robbieclark7828]

A Sandwichful of Secrets

[@arkay8856]

I’ve wanted to comment this for years

[@windowers]

Seeing as how James' son has already called Mason a pig rolling down a hill, I'd say there is a very high chance that he'll soon enough call (at least) Mason cringe.

[@patrickpjsullivan]

James' son is the King of Sting!

[@feedme100timesover]

Still one of the funniest things I've heard, I need to find the clip again

[@patrickpjsullivan]

​@@feedme100timesover Moody Drag Racing Chronicles has the clip. PIG ROLLING DOWN A HILL.

[@korndud]

@@feedme100timesover lol please do share if you find it!

[@trustedinvalid1]

It’s early on in one of their best of years or weekly or something. James once call mason a frog in a pair of pants

[@TheKingOfRooks]

I'm only a few minutes in but I'm loving the energy. KFC and Red Rooster should be the pod pre-game every week now lol

[@nathanturner5186]

Getting happily toasted energy from them here. Very enjoyable. They’re in their grub era

[@Alllex]

Yes, Link talks and we don't hear it in both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. Also in the Japanese version of BoTW, the journal is actually written from Link's perspective, and he's surprisingly expressive.

[@ZombiedWolf]

Link is actually a little dork in BotW and TotK. If you pay attention to his replies in conversations he will usually jump at the opportunity to make a joke or a even a pun. Really wish he would do that in cutscenes as him just being an emotionless mute in them actually ruins them.

[@Somniuh]

Optimus Primal? More like (Nick Mason’ll) chime in with one important bit of news at some point throughout the video! Got ‘em 😎

[@stefanfilipovits21]

Bloody got em’!

[@barthalen]

I can confirm that Death of Dr. Strange is a great read! Jed MacKay is one of the best writers currently working at Marvel. His runs of Black Cat and Moon Knight are also worth picking up, and he did a fantastic (and hilarious) Taskmaster mini.

[@WanderingChin]

I picked up a copy of that comic from a charity shop recently for £8, absolute bargain M8

[@AGR298]

I love that they retired the “guy who shouts ‘Rodney’ then explodes” bit because they genuinely got tired of it on Caravan of Garbage. Then they keep the “Defenders Of The Earth” riff in The Weekly Planet 100% because they’re just too lazy to change it lol. 😂

[@flywheelshyster]

I do enjoy waking up with the weekly planet and a hot cuppa, have a great week everybody.

[@AlmightyArceus]

The Sean Connery whip bit is actually incredible

[@brendanwalsh2755]

That whip would exclusively trying to deal out a fresh one on a ladies face

[@Matt-xc6sp]

I liked the part where they said “it’s grubbin time” and then grubbed all over the place. One of the phases of all time.

[@comicsmisexplained]

Excited to see Unikron wear Jncos in the next one that takes place in the 2000s

[@TJGibson0]

Man... I knew I saw barley any marketing for Rise of the Beasts but tbh I had no clue it was even set in 1994 and had like normal transformers in it. I thought it was like early pre-humans and just about the monkey robots 🤣

[@davidblank420]

Expendables 4 took years in post production to cover up all the audio of hips breaking.

[@rjdruhan]

So excited to finally be getting Snake Eyes next week!

[@PhillipRottingham]

James: Is he a good footballer? Maso: He's Ten!

[@Whiteythereaper]

In regards to the Captain America name change, the first episode of Falcon & Winter Soldier was already called New World Order so it's likely just avoiding repeating it

[@demon-goat]

13:42 oh my god i’ve been getting those kfc ads for what feels like 5 years now

[@EpicGamingLiveEGL]

After this movie, I never want to hear a robot say the word “key” ever again

[@trancedoutkid]

"I played dumb guy who emails in sometimes" got 'em!

[@tonythepokemonguy751]

My favorite part of the movie was when Optimus primal told the maximals Optimus was a jerk because of “aviation errors”

[@Haysey_Draws]

So the only way i can see Illumination doing a good Zelda is Toon link from Wind Waker. They can make Link mostly mute with super expressive reactions. My personal choice for a Zelda film, Dreamworks and the Puss in Boots team, i think they could knock that out of the park!

[@lyndsaybrown8471]

Honestly, a two hour Wind Waker movie would be awesome. Like, all they would need to do would be make the story movie length and well paced. The story is perfect. The art style is perfect. They could start it off with the same story reel about the Hero of Time, instantly opening the Zelda world to expansion.

[@BorderlineBinge]

Hadn't even considered Wind Waker but that is a GREAT idea!

[@joshuamauk6759]

Just started the review section and I’m very much looking forward to the big M.A.S.H. Up.

[@NotaroName]

Can't wait for the Hasbro version of avengers in which Optimus Prime, Snake Eyes, Twilight Sparkle, Rom the Space Knight, Jem (of the Holograms), Mr Potato Head and a Furby (fulfilling the role of the Hulk) need to use a Nerf gun to find the galactic Spirograph.

[@werewolvzombi]

“Expendfourballs” still lives in my head rent-free.

[@sirdaveysockrocker]

They should rename the delay segment, “Delays but Its OKs until writers get good Pays”

[@davidblank420]

Captain America: New World Order. "Bwaaahahhhgawd it's Hulked Hogannnnnnnn".

[@BorderlineBinge]

"I'm Captain America! I'm doing a big conspiracy!"

[@davidblank420]

After the baby Gronk news im convinced everyone has brain damage.

[@txt5220]

Excited for your "Snake Guys" video!

[@alexanderford3831]

Goddamn Mason for making me remember Team Knight Rider! I think that was part of the now defunct UPN network's prime time rollout (pun intended 😉), but was basically a ridiculous, less fun version of Power Rangers Turbo. If they're not going to combine into a giant robot to fight monsters, what are they even doing?

[@markrothenbuhler6232]

So hyped for Snake Eyes! Snake Eyes! Snake Eyes!

[@jordandjeu1050]

Crazy I’m only now realizing James cut the defenders of the earth song back in. When did he stop or start doing that?

[@johnw9771]

55:03 As someone who hasn’t seen anything Transformers other than the live-action movies, or played any of the video games, Rise of the Beasts was good. Flawed, but I enjoyed it for what it is.

[@theblackdouglas4772]

I caught the Jimmy Recard Face at the cinema Like Andy Garcia Reference 👌

[@thescottishaccent]

There was a big theory around Scourge maybe being the Bayverse Prime corrupted by Unicron and the whole thing would go all multiversal. I quite liked the idea of him being a fallen Optimus from another dimension, and it would have explained why his vehicle mode was a Bay-Primeish style of truck. Sadly he wasn't really all that interesting in the end. Just Generic Henchman Leader #274 really.

[@patrickpjsullivan]

I remember knowing Team Knight Rider wasn't good but I still watched it every week.

[@nafsiammara]

That was Cobra Commander who turned into a snake thing. It was fucked up and awesome.

[@kenthehobo]

I would love for Maseau to go to a Latinamerican country and demand his Indy-O's. He'd have a great time.

[@nbf-fb1xs]

Link is definitely talking but we don't hear him in BOTW. There's even a few times where you pick a dialogue option that has to be what he's saying going off of the response.

[@RamenCupBMG]

16:20 i think it's going to be fast xx and fast xxx. and fast xxx will come out in 2031 as the 30 year anniversary of the franchise. and maybe they'll add in xander cage too

[@alexanderford3831]

I think Fast XXX already exists. Just not on the screens you expected.

[@blasecascadeanimation4671]

It’s a sequel to Bumblebee, which is confirmed as a reboot

[@MicoDossun]

James and Maso jokingly saying they know Campbell Grobman and yet I had to sit there giggling knowing I know nearly all the movies listed

[@ComicCrossing]

The Mirage transforming into multiple vehicles thing confused me too but I think it was probably him using his imaging power to look different? I hope it does well enough for a sequel but I can take or leave the Joes

[@TheUniBaller]

Hey fellas! If you ever want to chat about The Sandlerverse I’d love to come on and do that. Especially since I connected St Elsewhere to it for Part 2.

[@davidblank420]

Hear me out. The Formers and Joe are intrenched in a vicious battle, its almost one sided until you see multicolored flashes of light and an iconic music cue. ITS THE FUCKING POWER RANGERS!!!!! LETS FUCKING GOOOOO

[@DaDestroyer1986]

Glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed the Bowser error.

[@yoshi5I4]

In Mason going on about Team Knight Rider it shows me that there’s a pretty decent chance we watch the same things on this site

[@kingfield99]

Here's a thought for a James&Maso chat, the biggest current Hollywood stars yet (never will?) to be in A Marvel/DC movie. Some names that spring to mind are Tom Cruise, Keanu Reeves, Denzel Washington, Angelina Jolie and Julia Roberts.

[@valdvald5896]

Wasn't Jolie in The Eternals?

[@kingfield99]

@@valdvald5896 oh yeah, you're right, that film is so unmemorable though I reckon you could cast her again!

[@William-Morey-Baker]

Keanu Reeves says he wants to do one... so...

[@cheej5529]

I see Mr Sunday and live action transformers, I click.

[@5Ci0N]

A Metroid movie would be SICK AF!!

[@philgood8089]

you two are my two true dads.

[@braindead684]

Dennis Quade owns all Snake men in all movies. And if you wish to use a snake man you must allow Dennis into your dreams to have sex with you, but he did without the use of the machine.

[@breakwoodhopper6739]

You think Chris Hemsworth saw across the spider verse and guardians of the galaxy 3 and realized thor 4 was trash

[@scottbarkley496]

Mission Impossible is not delayed

[@taytortwat]

I could gave sworn Maso was being cheeky when he said they sing the thong song in twisted metal. Shocked how silly and bad it's shaping up to be

[@derppool]

this ep was sus 😅

[@GoPieman]

My wife's colleague's cousin is the transformers lady, the wife of Jason Statham. I wish I had more to say about that.

[@Infinite_Repeat]

I would of been more hype if The Rock appeared at the end of Transformers but it’s not Roadblock its actually Hobbs and the reveal is the transformers are in the Fast franchise and then the second reveal in the next movie is Hobbs and Roadblock are twin brothers so all 3 universes are connected so we can have 2 Rocks teaming up with each other.

[@gimlym6641]

I love Red Rooster but their cheesy chicken nuggets are fucked.

[@RecRoomPlays]

Transformers x GI Joe happened in the comics a couple years back, so it's at least not entirely out of left field for them to make connective films. Which isn't to say anything about whether it'll be worthwhile or not, of course lol

[@shayhickey]

WORLDS SAGA - clearly James and Maso are underestimating Vin Diesel's ego, he means 'the saga most beloved by the whole world'

[@jaredrobinson7071]

just the best

[@snazzy-bladez7249]

Shark Man and Mosquito Man and Snake Man are all great schlock movies.

[@khorne41]

What's the opposite of polishing a turd? I feel like that's what the Transformers movies do. They take a fun idea (albeit fairly mediocre 80s animation quality) and then just ruin it. Shitting on a diamond? Shooting a rainbow in the face with a blunderbuss of crap?

[@_nquisitor_]

This is all well and good but you skipped the most important thing: did you try Red Rooster’s fried chicken?

[@tylergee3043]

So were getting Flash and Snake Eyes next week? Hmm maybe they should push The Flash so they can really dig into Snake Eyes finally 🤔

[@joshlloyd9318]

I swear to God if you do snake eyes next week instead of making mason finish Harry Potter, I'll lose it

[@walk-in3193]

Air Razor returns fused to another transformers in other stories so a rebirth is in the cards

[@frankcooke1692]

Has anybody ever gone to Red Rooster on purpose? I think I was there a couple of months ago, because I didn't feel quite like McDonalds, but there wasn't a KFC nearby.

[@lyndsaybrown8471]

Careful not to say, "It's just Star Wars" too loud, or we'll end up with Zack Snyder's Star Fox.

[@davidblank420]

Do Snake Eyes but do the 1998 Nic Cage Detective movie.

[@caelinnis]

just do transformers movies except the human characters are Joes. That easy!

[@Darth-Turtle]

13:25 😂

[@christophercomtois7175]

I can’t let this go James I have to @ you.

[@MentasmUK]

I went into Rise of the Beasts fully expecting it to be the worst movie ever. I was right.

[@jokesonyou91]

I'd love a Studio Ghibli Zelda film.

[@ER-rh4ye]

Castle Rock would be the Stephen Kingverse sorta

[@joshsharp6648]

Bring back Rodney 😢

[@smacksalad]

DEFENDERS!

[@parkmannate4154]

I talked to a lady from Virginia today who swears Maryland drivers are horrible. FYI

[@teflonjohn4018]

Expendables vs Skynet

[@patrickpjsullivan]

I was hoping Batman/FaZe Clan was a bit. Sadly, life is disappointing.

[@AverageDrafter]

3-to-1 odds that JRR Martin writes the Zelda movie.

[@runner9528]

Can we please change the background of the video to black. The white is blinding.

[@somebuddyX]

I wonder if Americans know a gronk in Australia is slang for moron, so Baby Gronk as a name is kinda wild.

[@davidblank420]

Seth Rollins is King Cobra man.

[@frambojan]

Did he say Duke, or Juke?

[@keiranharvey3421]

Now you have to watch snake eyes 😂

[@teddybearington3]

💕💕💕

[@ChunkyLover53]

Instead of G.I. Joe it should have been M.A.S.K.

[@briant4468]

They should be canceling the next 2 but sadly we are not that lucky.

[@clintmcbride7830]

Honestly they should just make a new Zelda story. Just avout every game in the series is, moslty, disconnected. I know there are canon timelines but that isnt as important as good individual stories.

[@Pandothegreat]

No what we reading theme this week?

[@codemastertalon6439]

calling it now, tom holland will be link🙄

[@5Ci0N]

"Oh look at my sword and shield" "ohh"

[@victoryusmc]

Star Wars and they are all f*ing animals. Sounds like an epic show.

[@adamaldabbagh8396]

They could make a hamburger time movie

I hated this movie so much. People said it was better than previous ones but wow I hated this
