How To Reboot Dying Franchises - The Weekly Planet Podcast

[@MonsieurJimjams]

Damn, never thought I'd hear Bananaman, Bangers and Mash, Jimbo and the Jetset and Defenders of the Earth all in one podcast. This is the ultimate podcast. You get one like.

[@danwichgames]

I would so listen to a whole podcast of James trying to talk pokemon with his son.

[@stevenlannister184]

We all loved the podcast of him making his son sandwiches and failing to catch him.

[@fejimanz]

This is the first time I've listened to your podcast and I've been watching your videos for forty years. So I've finally taken our relationship to the next level. I hope you were ready.

[@francofoohs2667]

Auntie Donna was a great reccomendation, never heard of them before hearing about them here! Gonna do the rewatch with their commentary for sure.

[@luckyspurs]

1:10:08 Personally this was my favourite moment. Gave me a massive smile.

[@s_t_brown]

They should do Ready Player One but only hyper obscure references of like failed TV shows that only had 5 or 6 episodes

[@rahava]

OMG the daleks I lost it. 10/10 best dalek voices ever.

[@dustinakadustin]

I'm sitting on the train listening and trying not to annoy people.

[@Chalepastel]

I listened to half of the podcast on spotify, and now I'm gonna listen to the other half on youtube to support you guys on two platforms. Now I'm commenting to appease the algorithm. I'M DOING MY PART!

[@VunterSlaush1650]

Girl from Tomorrow, Ocean Girl, Ship to Shore and Round the Twist (my favourite) were huge in Ireland in the 90s!

[@pvthitch]

I really, really want a WWII era Wonder Woman movie, featuring Sgt. Rock, Captain Storm and Johnny Cloud. Land, sea and air. Greek Gods vs Norse Gods. And then The Haunted Tank rolls up! I nerd-out about DC War Comics from the Go-Go Check era.

"Sapphire and Steel" needs rebooting/honouring. Bought the box set a few years ago. It was exactly as weird and creepy as I remembered. Bought a copy for my younger brother. "It's shit!" he said. I was gutted, as I genuinely rate his opionion. But he's in the attic now. Fish heads for tea!

I really need you guys to do a whole show as the Daleks now. In fact, BBC needs to hire you guys now... to be the Daleks. I'd watch that show.

[@ryzigg7187]

I mean season 11 has lots of new villains for dr who and none of them were good so... 🤷‍♂️ I mean I like the idea but 🙄ye... Weeping angels and the silence were great villains, the family of blood, the clockwork robots and the vashtanarader (or however you spell it) I love too from the newer series listen and midnight have great villains that we don’t see and I know they’re not new but I rly like all the episodes with the zygons so maybe bring them back too.

[@isaacwright8211]

haven't listened to the podcast yet but it's so weird seeing people discussing my favourite show under a weekly planet vid, what a crossover lol

[@HamsoltYT]

I couldn't name any of the new monsters from the past 2 seasons other than Tzim Sha from Jodie's first episode. I remember the monsters from Orphan 55 being pretty neat (the rest of the episode not so much.) Davies and Moffat made so many interesting new monsters in New Who like Weeping Angels, the Ood or Silence (I could go on for a good bit.) Chibbers doesn't seem to have as good an eye for new monsters. Big Spiders and birds don't really make as big an impact.

[@thelicensednerd1626]

Like any sane person i totally agree

[@RileyDia]

Ship to Shore & Round the Twist, now that's a throwback.

[@lancinekeita4823]

I would love to see Hollywood reboot JUMPER, apparently it was supposed to be a 7 part series following the books? I loved the movie as a kid despite its flaws. I would love if they made another teleporter film done well.

[@exzyyd392]

Everyone should go watch the Godzilla series on Netflix Everyone whose reviews I've seen seems to hate it but I loved it and the ending made me do a cry

Actually in casino royal le chiffre’s tell is him resting his fingers on his temple, yes I’m talking about the same tell that loses James millions but James later says he only won because of the last card until then he had nothing and thus it wasn’t a trick and was his tell

[@tristanstieber6499]

Le Chiffre´s tell is the twitch he hides with his finger, so when he knows that Bond knows, he fakes it.

If Aaron Taylor-Johnson's Quicksilver doesn't show up in any form in WandaVision then what's the point? I ain't interested and I ain't watching.

[@Drawnartist]

Wow I'm surprised you like that character that much

[@EatinPaste]

@@Drawnartist Speedster in general have got the short end of the stick when it comes to their live-action counterparts. I liked the MCU's Quicksilver, as well as the X-Men's one, and I like Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Just wish we got more of them and this is a perfect opportunity to do that. I just don't have high hopes to be honest.

Armie Hammer can't play John McClane. John is an "every man". Not a 6' 4" mass of muscle. The point of the movie was "what happens if a regular dude gets in the shit?"

[@udhavbhatia6424]

I would like to see a gallifreyan villain who is a survivor of the time war.He would not be like the master , he would want to rebuild his species and civilization,he is not evil but has to do some terrible things to do it. My idea is that he would see humans as the perfect species as both are very similer and will slowly create hybrid children with them through generations and will influence earth by giving them advance technology and knowledge so that they are similer to gallifrey (though he could imprint it in their genetics too) , he would be such a good idea of a villain as he would bring a fresh new villain who would first be his companion since doctor does not have gallifreyan companions(not that I have seen or heard of) then to achive his goals play on his insecurities and guilt of wiping out their species and that they are the last ones left and when his plan is reveald he would still try to convince the doctor but he will refuse but he will still emotionally blackmale him by saying things like 'The humans they will leave you they all will eventually but I won't and that we could right this wrong by rebuilding our civilization'. He would make a great villain as he would make the doctor reveal all his insequrities and lonliness and question himself what will he do kill or imprison one of he last members of his spices to protect the timeline of humanity or help him to rebuild his species and civilization on earth , to him it is a win-win for both parties as the gallifreyan civilization is back and the humans get to be the most advance species in the universe.

[@MITHYKA]

They're gonna do an episode on it once the season is over.

[@ricardozavala8474]

Police academy with Taika Waititi As director

[@christiandevey3898]

With the Comanche Predator movie, they probably would have difficulty finding enough actors who speak the language, so I’d say it’s 99.99% chance of it being in English

The other vegan in Scott Pilgrim besides Brie Larson was Brandon Routh - not Thomas Jane, as he played one of the Vegan Police officers. Also, The Dark Tower is too much of a long-winded King property to turn into a movie - maybe a series, but still. The Talisman, on the other hand, which he wrote with Peter Straub, could work as a movie.

@@ThreadBomb Wel, that wasn't the context in which they referred to 'the other vegan besides Brie Larson'.
