What 00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:37.060 news do you have for this week, bud? Okay. Are 00:00:37.060 --> 00:00:38.840 you ready for me to hit you with some news? I 00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:42.119 am. So I'm going to hit you with a rumour first 00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:46.759 and foremost. Okay. Matthew McConaughey has been 00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:52.020 tapped to play Norman Osborn in Spider -Man Brand 00:00:52.020 --> 00:00:57.630 New Day. Okay. I don't know if it's legit. I 00:00:57.630 --> 00:01:00.329 don't either. I'd be down for it. Heavy room. 00:01:00.409 --> 00:01:05.469 Dude. Chops. Yeah. And, yeah, just have him smiling. 00:01:05.670 --> 00:01:10.390 You know, you like science. I'm a bit of a scientist 00:01:10.390 --> 00:01:15.950 myself. Right, all right. So Xbox has confirmed 00:01:15.950 --> 00:01:20.049 that it is working on Project Helix, which is 00:01:20.049 --> 00:01:23.019 its next -gen console. Didn't think they were 00:01:23.019 --> 00:01:24.939 making another one. Neither did I. But it will 00:01:24.939 --> 00:01:29.019 be capable of playing PC games. Well, that's 00:01:29.019 --> 00:01:30.540 the thing. Steam have just brought out their 00:01:30.540 --> 00:01:36.359 own console. Did you see that? Yeah. Their big 00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:39.480 Steam rollout that they did. Steam are going 00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:43.379 to clean up because you can run an emulator that 00:01:43.379 --> 00:01:48.250 plays all of Xbox's games. Yeah. The fact that 00:01:48.250 --> 00:01:51.189 you can now have the whole ecosystem of Steam, 00:01:51.450 --> 00:01:54.549 your PC, your console, your headset, your handheld, 00:01:54.969 --> 00:01:58.629 dude, they're going to kill it. Well, the Xbox 00:01:58.629 --> 00:02:01.250 thing is interesting because not that long ago 00:02:01.250 --> 00:02:02.569 they were saying that they were just going to 00:02:02.569 --> 00:02:03.989 make games from now on. Yeah, they were going 00:02:03.989 --> 00:02:05.730 to cancel consoles altogether. And their games 00:02:05.730 --> 00:02:08.129 were going to be released on all the other consoles. 00:02:09.189 --> 00:02:11.229 I don't know what they're doing. Well, I did 00:02:11.229 --> 00:02:14.030 hear that there was going to be some Sony and 00:02:14.030 --> 00:02:17.090 Xbox crossovers now because they're sort of, 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:19.180 console wars are sort of dwindling down because 00:02:19.180 --> 00:02:21.960 they're all catching up to PC levels now. So 00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:26.860 it's sort of dwindling down where one person's 00:02:26.860 --> 00:02:28.379 really going to clean up and it's whoever can 00:02:28.379 --> 00:02:31.680 corner the whole market. Sony at the moment don't 00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:36.039 really have a handheld. Majority of their personal 00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:39.419 titles are now cross -platform with Steam and 00:02:39.419 --> 00:02:42.340 other shit as well. So I think if Xbox brings 00:02:42.340 --> 00:02:44.120 out another console, I think it actually might 00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:47.710 be able to stir up the pot a bit. So I'm not 00:02:47.710 --> 00:02:51.370 against it. I do love that most, if not all, 00:02:51.449 --> 00:02:55.310 games are now cross -platform. Same, dude, 100%. 00:02:55.310 --> 00:02:58.310 Because it used to be if your mate had an Xbox 00:02:58.310 --> 00:03:02.650 and you had an Xbox, you were both legends, and 00:03:02.650 --> 00:03:04.330 then your one mate that had a PlayStation, he 00:03:04.330 --> 00:03:08.090 was a leper. Mm -hmm. Had to go out and buy an 00:03:08.090 --> 00:03:10.800 Xbox just to play with you. I know. Yeah. You're 00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:13.900 a good dude. How fun was GDA? It was. It was 00:03:13.900 --> 00:03:16.500 pretty fun. See, that's the thing, though. GDA 00:03:16.500 --> 00:03:20.340 5 was on Xbox 360. Three consoles later? Yeah, 00:03:20.379 --> 00:03:29.919 three consoles later. So good. So good. World 00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:33.699 War Z is in the works. This is also a rumour. 00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:37.800 With Dan Trachtenberg in line to direct. That's 00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:40.439 from Small Screen Co. They're usually pretty 00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:43.539 on the nose with what they're posting. But again, 00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:47.699 hit that with a heavy rumour. Interesting. So 00:03:47.699 --> 00:03:51.900 Jeff Snyder was one of the producers on the first 00:03:51.900 --> 00:03:54.840 one. He's hinting that World War Z could be heading 00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:57.479 back into development, possibly under Dan Trachtenberg's 00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:01.379 Paramount deal. The 2013 film made $540 million 00:04:01.379 --> 00:04:03.360 worldwide and somehow it never got a sequel. 00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:05.900 Fincher did have a version in development, but 00:04:05.900 --> 00:04:09.050 it died. It's unclear whether Brad Pitt will 00:04:09.050 --> 00:04:13.770 return. Okay. Interesting. The Legend of Vox 00:04:13.770 --> 00:04:17.329 Machina will get a fourth season? Yes. So good. 00:04:17.970 --> 00:04:20.329 That's hilarious, actually. I'm so glad you showed 00:04:20.329 --> 00:04:23.730 it to me. Oh, yeah. That was a solid probably 00:04:23.730 --> 00:04:26.490 three, four weeks of me listening at work, that 00:04:26.490 --> 00:04:30.189 podcast. Yeah. So funny. And the quality of the 00:04:30.189 --> 00:04:34.850 TV show is fantastic. Yeah. I love how it's like 00:04:34.850 --> 00:04:37.230 directed at adults as well. It's not like a kiddie 00:04:37.230 --> 00:04:40.410 cartoon. Adults are pretty spoiled for cartoons 00:04:40.410 --> 00:04:43.529 these days, aren't they? Oh, yeah. Right? Back 00:04:43.529 --> 00:04:45.410 in the day when South Park was around and they 00:04:45.410 --> 00:04:48.430 were swearing, it's like, oh, my God. Now there's 00:04:48.430 --> 00:04:50.910 so many adult cartoons. Yeah. I love it. Back 00:04:50.910 --> 00:04:54.550 in the day it was anime was meant to be the adult 00:04:54.550 --> 00:04:58.379 stuff. And, yeah, now you've got. a lot of animation, 00:04:58.699 --> 00:05:01.279 just normal animation. But even Anime Man's popped 00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:04.060 up so much in the last five, ten years. Oh, yeah. 00:05:04.420 --> 00:05:08.100 It's massive. And we're getting stuff from not 00:05:08.100 --> 00:05:11.779 just Japan but China and Korea and stuff. Korea. 00:05:11.860 --> 00:05:16.720 Dude, they've got some of the smartest stuff 00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:21.100 coming out of Korea, man. Holy. Like the Squid 00:05:21.100 --> 00:05:23.480 Games, man. Have a look what that's done, what 00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:26.889 sort of cultural phenomenon that was. Yeah, absolutely 00:05:26.889 --> 00:05:31.269 insane. Alien vs. Predator is coming back. This 00:05:31.269 --> 00:05:35.189 is news, not a rumour, from 20th Century Fox 00:05:35.189 --> 00:05:38.490 Studios. Right. Alien vs. Predator is coming 00:05:38.490 --> 00:05:40.629 back with Prey and Romulus directors working 00:05:40.629 --> 00:05:45.589 on it together, which I don't need to tell you, 00:05:45.629 --> 00:05:50.949 they were two of the better shows that have come 00:05:50.949 --> 00:05:54.970 out of the Alien. Yeah. I mean, I will probably 00:05:54.970 --> 00:05:57.529 watch it. I think I only watched the first Alien 00:05:57.529 --> 00:06:00.029 vs. Predator because I was curious, and after 00:06:00.029 --> 00:06:02.189 that I was like, eh, didn't bother watching the 00:06:02.189 --> 00:06:05.769 others. No longer curious. It is garbage. But 00:06:05.769 --> 00:06:10.350 it could be survival horror over spectacle, brutal 00:06:10.350 --> 00:06:13.389 grounded encounters, real tension, real dread, 00:06:13.529 --> 00:06:17.509 returning to sci -fi horror events. Good. Don't 00:06:17.509 --> 00:06:20.310 want big bombastic stuff. No, we don't need that. 00:06:20.819 --> 00:06:23.660 Speaking about anime again, the creator of One 00:06:23.660 --> 00:06:27.899 Piece has written down what the actual One Piece 00:06:27.899 --> 00:06:30.759 is and has buried it at the bottom of the ocean. 00:06:32.100 --> 00:06:33.899 Holy shit. So many people are going to build 00:06:33.899 --> 00:06:36.279 their own submarines and die. Yeah, probably. 00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:38.920 I'm surprised it hasn't been found already. It's 00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:41.240 going to be Ocean Gate 2 .0. Here it goes. Get 00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:43.379 ready. But they're not going to be rich people. 00:06:43.459 --> 00:06:45.379 They're going to be people wearing a straw hat 00:06:45.379 --> 00:06:50.779 and just a bunch of their mates. All right, so 00:06:50.779 --> 00:06:54.680 I seen an image the other day. Right. It's not 00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:59.680 news, but to me it was. It's a fan casting, but 00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:02.540 it's been put through the AI prism for Netflix's 00:07:02.540 --> 00:07:06.519 Gears of War TV show or show, streaming show. 00:07:07.180 --> 00:07:10.620 I don't know. I'm 43. Leave me alone. Did you 00:07:10.620 --> 00:07:13.379 ever play Gears of War? No, never. Oh, dude, 00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:15.420 one of the best games you'll ever play. It's 00:07:15.420 --> 00:07:20.139 sensational. That's the cast. Look at that image. 00:07:21.180 --> 00:07:25.819 Now, if I was to get up. I've seen plenty of 00:07:25.819 --> 00:07:27.259 footage. You've seen the game? Yeah, I know what 00:07:27.259 --> 00:07:29.759 they look like, yeah. That looks pretty good. 00:07:30.220 --> 00:07:34.740 Dave Bautista is Marcus Fenix, dude. Yeah. But 00:07:34.740 --> 00:07:39.240 that image looks so good. John Cena. Yeah, put 00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:42.620 him straight. Terry Crews. Yeah. Yeah, that looks 00:07:42.620 --> 00:07:47.259 sick. The Bear will end with Season 5. Good. 00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:50.180 Small news, but that's what it is. Good. You 00:07:50.180 --> 00:07:53.399 liked the pair. I liked it. I didn't like that 00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:55.699 every, like, and I just yell, I yell at so many 00:07:55.699 --> 00:08:01.139 people. But, dude, the relationships in that 00:08:01.139 --> 00:08:05.939 were so toxic. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And the one, oh, 00:08:05.980 --> 00:08:09.279 dude, speaking of the facts, Matty Matheson, 00:08:09.300 --> 00:08:12.300 do you see him, Matty Matheson? Mm -hmm. Do you 00:08:12.300 --> 00:08:14.180 see him at the awards ceremony the other night? 00:08:15.029 --> 00:08:19.189 Dressed up to the nines, dude. So handsome and 00:08:19.189 --> 00:08:22.990 so hilarious. But he's my favourite part about 00:08:22.990 --> 00:08:24.629 that show, him and his family. Oh, yeah, 100%. 00:08:24.629 --> 00:08:28.829 Having John Cena as a cousin, come on. Oh, yeah, 00:08:29.009 --> 00:08:35.889 that family, they make that show. Oh, it's my 00:08:35.889 --> 00:08:40.110 turn. Rumour has it from The Hollywood Reporter 00:08:40.110 --> 00:08:44.789 that Batman Part 2 will see a new Joker. Mm -hmm. 00:08:45.669 --> 00:08:52.289 Which, it annoys me because this will be the, 00:08:52.389 --> 00:08:56.289 what, the fourth Joker iteration in the last 00:08:56.289 --> 00:09:00.830 four movies. Yeah, I mean. Can we give someone 00:09:00.830 --> 00:09:03.690 else a, can we give someone else? Well, I mean, 00:09:03.690 --> 00:09:07.990 we haven't even given Barry Kogan a proper go 00:09:07.990 --> 00:09:10.669 yet. He was an extra. He was like a fucking three 00:09:10.669 --> 00:09:13.700 -minute add -on. Yeah. I don't think it doesn't 00:09:13.700 --> 00:09:16.539 need to be done. That's who people are casting. 00:09:17.620 --> 00:09:20.580 Bill Skarsgård's an insanely talented actor and 00:09:20.580 --> 00:09:24.259 he could pull off a joker. But we don't need 00:09:24.259 --> 00:09:26.259 a joker. I don't think they would cast him purely 00:09:26.259 --> 00:09:29.379 because he's Pennywise. Two clowns. Too close. 00:09:29.740 --> 00:09:35.419 Possibly. But we don't need another Clampridge 00:09:35.419 --> 00:09:38.480 Gotham. Just leave him on the floor for a bit. 00:09:38.620 --> 00:09:43.700 Yeah. You've got a whole slew of bad guys there. 00:09:44.899 --> 00:09:47.120 Apparently there is a Game of Thrones movie in 00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:50.159 development, as much as you don't care, but I 00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:54.399 reckon you should give Night of the Seven Kingdoms 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:59.379 a go. And if you like that, you should give House 00:09:59.379 --> 00:10:06.559 of Dragon a go. Another rumour for you from Small 00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:09.610 Screen Co. The Iron Punisher. You're making it 00:10:09.610 --> 00:10:13.210 hard not to swear. I know. The Iron Punisher 00:10:13.210 --> 00:10:19.549 is set to be in Brand New Day. Okay. No. Yeah. 00:10:19.710 --> 00:10:24.350 I mean. It's street level, guys. Stop losing 00:10:24.350 --> 00:10:27.509 the whole fact that you wanted this street level. 00:10:28.289 --> 00:10:31.850 Just stop it. Just stop it. There's so much going 00:10:31.850 --> 00:10:33.570 on around this movie, I don't know where it's 00:10:33.570 --> 00:10:36.649 going or what it's. Yeah. Hopefully they stick 00:10:36.649 --> 00:10:40.690 the landing. My last piece of news is kind of 00:10:40.690 --> 00:10:45.389 a, I wouldn't even call it news, a kind of hint 00:10:45.389 --> 00:10:49.330 at the fact that Mandalorian and Grogu movie 00:10:49.330 --> 00:10:52.269 coming out will somehow make The Force Awakens 00:10:52.269 --> 00:10:56.009 better. We don't know how, we don't know why. 00:10:56.909 --> 00:10:59.389 That was just their comment that's been thrown 00:10:59.389 --> 00:11:02.990 out there. That could just be trash. The Force 00:11:02.990 --> 00:11:05.740 Awakens I didn't think was a bad film. I didn't 00:11:05.740 --> 00:11:08.500 hate it. No. Not like some people did. No. I 00:11:08.500 --> 00:11:11.460 really enjoyed the first iteration of Kylo Ren. 00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:17.259 100%. A lot of people didn't. The moment you 00:11:17.259 --> 00:11:19.419 hear that voice, you're like, oh, that's interesting. 00:11:19.779 --> 00:11:22.019 And then when he stops that blaster bolt in midair, 00:11:22.059 --> 00:11:26.899 you're like, holy shit. I didn't hate it, dude. 00:11:27.100 --> 00:11:29.620 I thought it was all right. And I didn't hate 00:11:29.620 --> 00:11:32.639 The Last Jedi either. It wasn't the best movie. 00:11:33.179 --> 00:11:35.519 But some of the visuals in that, Rian Johnson 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:38.220 killed it. Like that scene at the end where the 00:11:38.220 --> 00:11:42.159 fighters are going across the snow flats and 00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:47.259 all the reds just looked so cool. When Lord Dern 00:11:47.259 --> 00:11:50.980 killed that ship. Just cut through hyperspace 00:11:50.980 --> 00:11:55.100 straight through. Yeah. That sound was amazing. 00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:57.960 So incredible, dude. Yeah, I didn't hate him. 00:11:58.899 --> 00:12:04.919 I hated aspects like. Princess Leia just walking 00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:07.860 straight past Chewie and hugging someone that 00:12:07.860 --> 00:12:12.960 knew Han for ten minutes. Go away. The Force 00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:16.460 pull in space is a bit on the nose. Yeah. It's 00:12:16.460 --> 00:12:18.879 like she's always been sensitive, but the fact 00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:23.519 that she's never used the Force before. Yeah, 00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:26.960 I don't know. But, like, I could, like, man, 00:12:27.139 --> 00:12:32.179 the original trilogy were full of. that a lot 00:12:32.179 --> 00:12:34.759 of people overlooked. And I can imagine that 00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:37.059 there's a younger generation out there that do 00:12:37.059 --> 00:12:40.100 appreciate. The old movies. No, no, like these 00:12:40.100 --> 00:12:45.759 new ones, yeah. Dude, I liked them. Yeah. So, 00:12:45.779 --> 00:12:48.860 yeah, I'm always going to watch a Star Wars movie. 00:12:49.019 --> 00:12:50.179 I'm always going to watch a Star Wars movie. 00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:53.220 All I ask is just forget about Skywalkers for 00:12:53.220 --> 00:12:56.980 a bit. It's clear that we don't need them. No. 00:12:57.949 --> 00:12:59.950 The Mandalorian was one of the most successful 00:12:59.950 --> 00:13:03.570 Star Wars properties released. Rogue One is still, 00:13:03.570 --> 00:13:06.450 I dictate, the best Star Wars movie we've had. 00:13:06.809 --> 00:13:09.330 And then follow that up with Andor. And then 00:13:09.330 --> 00:13:12.429 follow that up with Andor, dude. Easily the best 00:13:12.429 --> 00:13:14.529 Star Wars show that we've had. And none of them 00:13:14.529 --> 00:13:19.230 had the f***ing Squawkers, bro. Yeah. Just leave 00:13:19.230 --> 00:13:21.409 them alone. You could do so much with that universe 00:13:21.409 --> 00:13:24.649 without, you know. Exactly. The last trilogy, 00:13:24.909 --> 00:13:30.250 my most hated scene. Rey, Skywalker, no, go away. 00:13:30.570 --> 00:13:37.509 Just stop it. Let them die. That's my rant. That's 00:13:37.509 --> 00:13:40.889 my news. A new G .I. Joe film is officially in 00:13:40.889 --> 00:13:44.850 the works with Max Landis and Denny McBride writing 00:13:44.850 --> 00:13:47.250 separate scripts that Paramount plans to combine 00:13:47.250 --> 00:13:51.669 into one film. Do you think that's a smart idea? 00:13:52.210 --> 00:13:56.679 I don't. Depends. Where they're telling two different 00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:00.340 stories in the one movie. Two different aspects, 00:14:00.580 --> 00:14:05.240 two different sides of the one coin. Okay. All 00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:09.940 right. It could be done. More rumour. Savage 00:14:09.940 --> 00:14:12.759 Hulk is officially set to return in Spider -Man 00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:15.559 Brand New Day. Again, so much going on with this 00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:19.539 movie. The Spider -Gwen and Spider -Punk spin 00:14:19.539 --> 00:14:22.559 -off films are in active development. I did hear 00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:26.090 that, yeah. Pumped. Two of my favourite characters 00:14:26.090 --> 00:14:30.049 out of those movies. Yeah. Pumped. Ever since 00:14:30.049 --> 00:14:34.309 they first introduced Spider -Gwen in the comics, 00:14:34.470 --> 00:14:36.309 I thought she was a fantastic character. Oh, 00:14:36.330 --> 00:14:38.269 yeah, you did. That character design is sensational. 00:14:38.710 --> 00:14:41.450 One of my favourite suits. Yeah. One of my favourite 00:14:41.450 --> 00:14:45.889 suits. Paramount has already paid Netflix $2 00:14:45.889 --> 00:14:49.070 .8 billion to terminate their agreement with 00:14:49.070 --> 00:14:53.460 Warner Brothers. Huh? Paramount. has paid Netflix 00:14:53.460 --> 00:14:57.860 $2 .8 billion to terminate their agreement with 00:14:57.860 --> 00:15:02.419 Warner Brothers. Really? Yeah. Wow, okay. That's 00:15:02.419 --> 00:15:04.620 according to Bloomberg, which is the fucking 00:15:04.620 --> 00:15:08.279 Hollywood main people who talk about stuff. I've 00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:15.659 got more news. Like being invited to a four -day 00:15:15.659 --> 00:15:20.460 pre -screening of Project Hail Mary. Oh, I'm 00:15:20.460 --> 00:15:23.360 down. Apparently Sadie Sink is going to be cast 00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:27.679 as Rachel Cole Alves. Did you ever read about 00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:30.559 her in the comic books? The name's familiar. 00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:34.679 So she was a Marine and her whole platoon got 00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:38.419 wiped out in a secret, like an undercover op 00:15:38.419 --> 00:15:43.379 in, they were wiped out as well. So she turns 00:15:43.379 --> 00:15:45.759 up to annihilate all these people and Frank Castle's 00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:48.220 there as well and he's like, bro, what are you 00:15:48.220 --> 00:15:49.840 doing? You get in my way again and I'll kill 00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:53.279 you. And then next thing he's there running to 00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:55.419 each other again and he's saying, oh, you know, 00:15:55.460 --> 00:15:58.080 I know who you are. Here you go, have a vest. 00:15:58.259 --> 00:16:00.700 And she puts on a Punisher vest as well. And 00:16:00.700 --> 00:16:02.700 then she becomes, she had her own Punisher run. 00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:07.820 Yeah, right. So apparently she, that is who Sadie 00:16:07.820 --> 00:16:10.320 Sink will be playing. There's been so many rumours 00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:14.740 on who she'll be playing. Oh, Sadie. So Jensen 00:16:14.740 --> 00:16:18.039 Ackles' Soldier Boy spin -off is expected to 00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:21.039 finish filming this month. Right. Not much has 00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:24.379 been said about it. Apparently the original Stormfront 00:16:24.379 --> 00:16:29.019 will be in it, which makes sense. They were lovers, 00:16:29.179 --> 00:16:31.039 apparently, were they not? I think so, yeah. 00:16:32.779 --> 00:16:35.679 I'm looking forward to that. Oh, God. I was hoping 00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:40.019 not to report on this, but I'm going to. Oh, 00:16:40.059 --> 00:16:43.080 Jesus. Finn Jones is reportedly coming back as 00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:46.600 Iron Fist. God damn it. Yeah, I did see something 00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:49.120 like that, but I didn't see enough to kind of 00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:52.799 credit that as plausible. However, some of the 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:55.419 best news I'm going to say this week. Producer 00:16:55.419 --> 00:16:58.919 Jerry Bruckheimer has confirmed the script for 00:16:58.919 --> 00:17:01.580 National Treasure 3 is being written and according 00:17:01.580 --> 00:17:06.160 to him, coming along extremely well. Yeah, I'd 00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:08.119 be down for that as long as everybody's back 00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:10.900 on board. You get Nicolas Cage back, man. I am 00:17:10.900 --> 00:17:14.339 so sad. Yeah, keep. National Treasure 3 out, 00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:18.500 The Mummy 4. What year is this? Exactly. It's 00:17:18.500 --> 00:17:24.839 us being teenagers again. Yeah. So the young 00:17:24.839 --> 00:17:27.079 gentleman, Cristo Fernandez, who played Denny 00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:32.839 Rojas on Ted Lasso, is now a professional soccer 00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:37.960 player. Really? Yeah. He's playing with the USL 00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:41.380 Championship side, El Paso Locomotive FC. Okay. 00:17:43.409 --> 00:17:46.970 Cool. That's wholesome. Wholesome as shit. Sonic 00:17:46.970 --> 00:17:50.869 4 is now filming. Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm. A movie that 00:17:50.869 --> 00:17:52.430 I want to put forward to you to watch too is 00:17:52.430 --> 00:17:55.549 in this. Apparently Paul Bettany has been tapped 00:17:55.549 --> 00:17:57.750 to play Lord Voldemort in the Harry Potter TV 00:17:57.750 --> 00:18:01.369 series. Yep. I did see that. Wow, why aren't 00:18:01.369 --> 00:18:04.369 you reporting on this? Because I saw it and forgot 00:18:04.369 --> 00:18:09.089 to write it in. Oh, dude. Hideo Kojima, the writer 00:18:09.089 --> 00:18:12.269 and... creator of such things as Metal Gear Solid 00:18:12.269 --> 00:18:17.910 series, Death Stranding. One and two. Castlevania 00:18:17.910 --> 00:18:21.289 game back in the early noughts, late noughts. 00:18:21.289 --> 00:18:26.109 Yeah. Has revealed that he's trying to make himself 00:18:26.109 --> 00:18:30.549 a Predator Badlands video game. Interesting. 00:18:30.789 --> 00:18:36.869 Mm -hmm. That's all my geek news. Right. However, 00:18:36.990 --> 00:18:40.890 I have an extremely. exciting piece of news in 00:18:40.890 --> 00:18:45.130 the realm of psychedelics. Okay. Australia could 00:18:45.130 --> 00:18:48.589 be sitting on 855 new psychedelic strains growing 00:18:48.589 --> 00:18:51.690 in school playgrounds and suburban backyards. 00:18:52.569 --> 00:18:54.710 For the first time in history, someone is testing 00:18:54.710 --> 00:18:59.089 every single one of them. A researcher named 00:18:59.089 --> 00:19:01.549 Dr. Mitchell Lowe is five years deep into cataloguing 00:19:01.549 --> 00:19:03.970 every species of Australian wattle for their 00:19:03.970 --> 00:19:07.559 psychoactive compounds. Not just DMT, all the 00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:09.460 unknown ones as well, molecule ones that don't 00:19:09.460 --> 00:19:13.039 even have names. So, yeah, some of the samples 00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:15.119 he's already tested are three times more potent 00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:22.539 than ayahuasca. What? Yeah. Wow. Yeah, Cessnock's 00:19:22.539 --> 00:19:27.619 about to get lit. They're ready to go to trial 00:19:27.619 --> 00:19:31.920 now. It is, yeah, the same plant shaman's been 00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:34.420 calling the vine of the soul for centuries. He's 00:19:34.420 --> 00:19:36.519 getting outperformed by a tree next door bus 00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:43.180 stop in Perth. Yeah. So Australia was the first 00:19:43.180 --> 00:19:45.400 country on earth to legalise psilocybin therapy 00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:49.799 in 2023. I'm set. Let's go. Magic Mushies for 00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:53.480 the win. All right. We've got a few trailers 00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:56.819 to check out. All right, sir.

And I haven't 00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:11.299 even worn the ring yet. Goddamn. Don't get hung 00:20:11.299 --> 00:20:13.900 up on the jewelry, Junior. You're just a fucking 00:20:13.900 --> 00:20:16.500 substitute teacher. You're not ready to get up 00:20:16.500 --> 00:20:18.059 in front of the class until the ring says you 00:20:18.059 --> 00:20:31.740 are. All right. I could have died. You want me 00:20:31.740 --> 00:20:37.559 to train you?

We both know I do 00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:20.460 a better job of this than you. This is my job. 00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:26.579 As long as I'm alive, that ain't changing. So 00:21:26.579 --> 00:21:43.420 take a deep breath, Junior. You're old. Your 00:21:43.420 --> 00:21:51.680 time is up. I don't understand.

There's 00:26:16.960 --> 00:26:19.559 a serial killer on the loose. Hello, Tuesday. 00:26:20.259 --> 00:26:24.680 I have been preparing for this for years. Hello, 00:26:24.779 --> 00:26:32.619 mother. You look like shit. I want to, but I'm 00:26:32.619 --> 00:26:34.980 a Republican now, so I'm supposed to be racist. 00:26:35.220 --> 00:26:37.140 Oh, girl, I think all white people are racist 00:26:37.140 --> 00:26:44.339 anyway.

I think I've seen a poster of this 00:28:16.079 --> 00:28:24.200 today. An actor's playing two roles. Who's this? 00:28:24.500 --> 00:28:26.279 It's Chloroform. Chloroform? You don't know what 00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:27.940 Chloroform is? Should I know what Chloroform 00:28:27.940 --> 00:28:29.779 is? Have you ever seen a movie? Yeah, I've seen 00:28:29.779 --> 00:28:31.140 many movies. And have you ever seen a movie with 00:28:31.140 --> 00:28:34.079 Chloroform in it? I don't know. Okay, just listen 00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:37.039 to me. Ace Ventura, pet detective. You're going 00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:39.339 to ring the doorbell. Somebody's gonna answer 00:28:39.339 --> 00:28:41.099 the door before they can get out a single word. 00:28:41.180 --> 00:28:43.579 You take that rag that's soaked in that shit 00:28:43.579 --> 00:28:45.460 and you cover their nose and their mouth. Oh, 00:28:45.460 --> 00:28:47.940 that's chloroform. That's chloroform? You could 00:28:47.940 --> 00:28:49.299 have just said the wet rag thing. It made it 00:28:49.299 --> 00:28:51.759 easier. Fine, great. Do what you call the wet 00:28:51.759 --> 00:29:03.079 rag thing. Hey, Mike. This is confusing! What 00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:07.460 the fu - What are you doing? This is your idea! 00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:20.640 What's happening? I'm you. But I'm from the future. 00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:24.339 They came back. In a time machine. You sound 00:29:24.339 --> 00:29:25.980 insane. No, I understand. I want to try to right 00:29:25.980 --> 00:29:27.539 some wrongs here. But there is a person that 00:29:27.539 --> 00:29:29.799 could fuck this whole thing up. And that person 00:29:29.799 --> 00:29:35.250 is me. I thought you were a clone. Well, clones 00:29:35.250 --> 00:29:37.730 aren't real, dummy. And time machines are super 00:29:37.730 --> 00:29:53.170 grounded in reality. Yeah, obviously. The first 00:29:53.170 --> 00:29:55.089 time that we went through tonight, Mike died. 00:29:55.349 --> 00:30:00.190 Oh, fuck. But that's why I'm back. We get one 00:30:00.190 --> 00:30:08.319 chance to fix it. Okay, so who killed me? Have 00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:09.920 you ever heard of the Baron? He's a cannibal 00:30:09.920 --> 00:30:12.900 assassin. Hello, hello, hello. You look delicious. 00:30:13.880 --> 00:30:15.940 I don't want to be eaten, Nick. I agree, it's 00:30:15.940 --> 00:30:32.140 not an ideal situation. Hey, Nick! Come on, you 00:30:32.140 --> 00:30:35.480 killed the DJ? It was a moment and then accidentally, 00:30:35.539 --> 00:30:37.920 it was an accident, but then I shot him. You 00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:39.960 accidentally, accidentally shot him. I shot him 00:30:39.960 --> 00:30:44.680 and it was a non -purpose. That looks absolutely, 00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:51.740 insanely fun. Yeah. That looks so fun. Mike and 00:30:51.740 --> 00:30:54.539 Nick and Nick and Alice. Oh, Dan, that looks 00:30:54.539 --> 00:31:00.539 fun. The Audacity with Zach Gamifanakis. I haven't 00:31:00.539 --> 00:31:02.319 seen him in a while. Genius is not about figuring 00:31:02.319 --> 00:31:07.640 out the solution. It's about being unhinged enough 00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:13.000 to do something outrageous with it. Fear impedes 00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:16.039 innovation. I call that self -police brutality. 00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:23.279 Tech lives matter. Exactly. What? Silicon Valley. 00:31:24.059 --> 00:31:28.480 The single richest enclave in America. Your parents 00:31:28.480 --> 00:31:30.359 gave you a smartphone. Smarts are worse than 00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:32.890 hard drugs. Twice as addictive. Doesn't every 00:31:32.890 --> 00:31:35.950 parent here work on tech stuff? Arms dealers 00:31:35.950 --> 00:31:38.369 don't give their kids landmines. They're horrible 00:31:38.369 --> 00:31:40.769 people who have no boundaries. Can you not touch 00:31:40.769 --> 00:31:44.650 me? No manners. No integrity. Did you leak the 00:31:44.650 --> 00:31:48.690 acquisition rumor? Yes or no? No! No! Maybe. 00:31:49.269 --> 00:31:51.049 I shouldn't have leaked the acquisition rumor. 00:31:51.210 --> 00:31:55.970 That's on me. Dad, you're like having a breakdown. 00:31:58.029 --> 00:32:00.900 Rich or poor, it doesn't matter. They deserve 00:32:00.900 --> 00:32:04.240 therapy as much as anybody. People act like we 00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:06.660 took something, as if we didn't build everything 00:32:06.660 --> 00:32:10.400 they touch. But where's our parade? I am going 00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:13.000 to start throwing things! Oh, for Christ's sake, 00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:20.940 Carl, just breathe. You breathe! He's in a very 00:32:20.940 --> 00:32:26.279 sensitive place right now. I'm rich! We keep 00:32:26.279 --> 00:32:28.940 these billionaire man children sane enough to 00:32:28.940 --> 00:32:32.400 make that kind of money. Is this a shot or a 00:32:32.400 --> 00:32:33.700 video? I think it's a shot. It's been a while 00:32:33.700 --> 00:32:39.519 since I smelled man blood. Nummy, nummy. Tech 00:32:39.519 --> 00:32:42.240 changed the world, but so did the bubonic plague. 00:32:43.119 --> 00:32:45.460 I feel like I'm cosplaying a version of me that 00:32:45.460 --> 00:32:48.319 would never talk to me. Companies make billions 00:32:48.319 --> 00:32:50.160 from the government. It's just usually for killing 00:32:50.160 --> 00:32:53.180 people. Sweetie, next bite of the lemon square 00:32:53.180 --> 00:32:58.930 tastes exactly like the first. Mr. Park, there 00:32:58.930 --> 00:33:02.490 are rules. Rules? We make the rules. You may 00:33:02.490 --> 00:33:05.390 be committing fraud. We want to save the world, 00:33:05.430 --> 00:33:07.930 we're controlling it. Most of us go Dr. Evil. 00:33:09.009 --> 00:33:18.509 You are a sociopath. This is obscene. America? 00:33:19.230 --> 00:33:23.390 The future is coming. Isn't that why you came 00:33:23.390 --> 00:33:30.480 to the valley? Not for nothing, but for every 00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:33.579 hour we run this algo, we release a ton of carbon. 00:33:33.720 --> 00:33:37.160 Oh, great. We'll sponsor a penguin. It's all 00:33:37.160 --> 00:33:41.400 right. People just declare war anyway. That looked 00:33:41.400 --> 00:33:43.160 all right. I don't know. It might be all right. 00:33:43.519 --> 00:33:45.559 Can we watch Mike and Nick and Nick and Alice 00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:49.680 again? No. We have one more. The Cure. Great 00:33:49.680 --> 00:33:54.940 band. No. We have Dave Dismulsion. Oh. Did I 00:33:54.940 --> 00:33:56.359 say that right? That's going to be great. Yeah. 00:33:56.440 --> 00:33:59.079 Thank you. You said it great. This is going to 00:33:59.079 --> 00:34:12.460 be great because he's so great. What did you 00:34:12.460 --> 00:34:20.739 bring into our house? This impulse to explore, 00:34:20.840 --> 00:34:24.920 it's only going to get worse. Caged animal yearning 00:34:24.920 --> 00:34:28.380 to be free. We will do anything. Everything to 00:34:28.380 --> 00:34:37.860 protect you. I am unsettled. So your blood is 00:34:37.860 --> 00:34:40.659 a fountain of youth? She has an extremely rare 00:34:40.659 --> 00:34:43.460 blood type. The kind of thing you see with multiple 00:34:43.460 --> 00:34:46.659 transfusions. Come anywhere near the bronze. 00:34:50.800 --> 00:34:53.500 And we'll make sure you stay off the grid completely. 00:34:53.840 --> 00:34:56.000 The whole bullshit business is built on selling 00:34:56.000 --> 00:35:05.960 pints to billionaires. Oh, far out. Hello? No. 00:35:06.400 --> 00:35:15.380 Who are you looking for? I ain't home. Is everything 00:35:15.380 --> 00:35:25.519 okay, sweetheart? I hate the idea that they're 00:35:25.519 --> 00:35:27.539 gonna live long, happy lives all thanks to me. 00:35:33.440 --> 00:35:36.000 I will cut my own throat before I go back to 00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:38.880 being whatever the hell I was. You can never 00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:40.900 really know what someone's motives are. I am 00:35:40.900 --> 00:35:56.260 your father. Sorry. Blood bank's closed. Dude, 00:35:56.340 --> 00:36:00.260 that looks cool. Interesting. That looks cool. 00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:02.480 I think there was something up with the sound 00:36:02.480 --> 00:36:05.099 on that trailer, but anyway. Not at all. That 00:36:05.099 --> 00:36:11.619 was insane. I like that. Oi, there's a movie 00:36:11.619 --> 00:36:14.239 that I would like to put to you that we watch. 00:36:16.599 --> 00:36:22.480 It's called A Sasquatch Sunset. It has no human 00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:26.369 dialogue and the entire film follows. four Sasquatch 00:36:26.369 --> 00:36:29.590 creatures through a year in the forest. They 00:36:29.590 --> 00:36:34.170 eat, sleep, mate, fight and grieve. Jesse Eisenberg 00:36:34.170 --> 00:36:37.289 and Riley Keough play two of them under full 00:36:37.289 --> 00:36:41.889 prosthetics. I think I've heard of it. I want 00:36:41.889 --> 00:36:47.510 to watch it. I do. There's no dialogue in it. 00:36:47.570 --> 00:36:51.449 It's just like Planet of the Apes, but funny. 00:36:52.469 --> 00:36:56.030 It popped up. by pure coincidence today on my 00:36:56.030 --> 00:36:58.530 Facebook, and it was the scene where they're 00:36:58.530 --> 00:37:06.230 shagging. And it's brutal. Brutal. And I'm like, 00:37:06.309 --> 00:37:10.530 what is this? And then it's actually a movie. 00:37:12.789 --> 00:37:16.449 And it's got stars in it. It's not some high 00:37:16.449 --> 00:37:19.030 school kids wanting to dress up as monkeys and 00:37:19.030 --> 00:37:22.849 be silly sausages. But, yeah, I want to watch 00:37:22.849 --> 00:37:25.760 it. Thank you. We'll talk about it later. Yeah. 00:37:26.420 --> 00:37:29.079 Thanks again for joining us, guys, for Pop Culture 00:37:29.079 --> 00:37:32.300 News.
