Just two brothers, being brothers, something something blue harvest

33:47 Hey, that’s us! Thank you so much for the kind words and shoutout. We’re big fans and means the world you liked our interview. ❤

It's not often there's this much of a disagreement between James and Mason, but that's what makes these Ghostbusters episodes great

"He's the billionaire we're gonna eat last." Love these men with all my heart.

Big CEO news is my favourite type of news. God bless all those completely normal men.

What a great opening bit. Great work Dr. Nick Mason

If someone was to approach me in the street and ask "Who are your favourite two people who are brothers and also both love Ghostbusters?" I would choose these guys. Just a pair of siblings who have nothing but good things to say about Ghostbusters. Ghostbuster brothers. "Ghost-brothers", if you will. Classic stuff.

New idea for ghostbusters sequel. They all die at the start of the movie. And have to bust a living human Villan at the climax of the picture. Bizaro Ghostbusters

4:55 good impression of Rich Evans doing an impression of George Lucas

You know the end of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, when Donovan drinks from the wrong chalice and ages a thousand years in a few seconds... that was me when you guys said you hadn't seen Beetlejuice.

I am listening to this with my ears.

Finally the Ghostbusters Brothers have returned to express their love for everything Ghostbusters

Aaron Taylor Johnson's first Bond girl should be Elizabeth Olsen, just for laughs, and the villain should be Robert Downey Jr. That last part is serious. RDJ is a total Bond villain.

the beetlejuice trailer finally broke me on slow covers. i had to pause the trailer 15s in put my head in my hands as i contemplate humanity's place in the universe...

I'm gonna need that rude obi wan riff

We need a Ghostbusters vs Insidious movie

The slapsy fight at the top of ROADHOUSE reminded me of that Australian comedy sketch parody of THE SLAP.

As a Ghostbusters (1984) fan, all I need is Ghostbusters (1984). Haven't even seen the 2016 reboot or the two new ones and I don't think I will see any of them, I got too much other (good) stuff to watch.

Ghostbusters needs to be a 30 min TV show like IT Crowd or What We Do In The Shadows. Forget the original cast. Forget New York. Go to a random small city and follow a schlubby crew at a Ghostbusters franchise, who treat their jobs like they are basic exterminators. Make it about a group of losers just trying to pay the bills, and dealing with annoying customers and ghosts.

look at james, with his HOT game references, that Sniper Elite pull was impressive not gonna lie.

*I love most of all those moments in which your banter tips over into improv. almost French Existentialist, near-nihilism... ... -"I didn't know anything in my heart. ... -There are no truths there. ... ," (1:30:24 (approx.)), is a formulation of genuine depth & beauty. & also hilarious. thank you. ...

In regards to AI in Hollywood, I think it'll get really REALLY bad and scary. BUT! From that, it'll get better. Like the sampling example James gave.

I'm glad that Cyborg is going to be a member of the Teen Titans again (supposedly). Hopefully that change transfers over to the comics as well. He just does not work as a member of a Justice League, besides being the member who gets absolutely mutilated by the villain to establish how dangerous they are. You can just rebuild him after all.

Fede Alvarez's said he's taking inspiration from the first three Alien films, and that the Prometheus was like a rich yacht so, not throwing anything out. Noah Hawley who's doing the series, has again mentioned first three films, but not including the prequels in his mythology so far as it pertains to the creation of the Alien itself.

I just started the podcast and am 30 seconds in and thought it a great time to leave a review! The new Roadhouse was insanely weird and bad. "Conor McGregor should be arrested." -"My wife!"-Borat

18:52 James' response to Maso talking about a comedian he assumes James knows, because that dude also was a teacher: - Does he like me? We don't know if that guys does, but boy, do we like you James. Even love you!

My racing movie recommendation would be the Japanese animated film Redline. The sense of speed and fluidity of the action in that one.. sublime!!

Huh. Did not know Aaron Taylor-Johnson was British until today! I reckon he'd be a great Bond

I think the ultimate crossover is: it starts as a ghostbusters and they all die, then its Blues Brothers and they can team up with all the dead musical legends and get the band back together.

Iger said he would "make less crap" after Peltz started putting pressure on him, not the other way round

I. LOVE. A. MR. SUNDAY. MOVIES. RANT.

What about Kumail joining Star Wars in Obi Won… the quadilogy

45:50 No. I’m not happy with the slop they’re dishing out. The worst part is that they brought back Walter Peck, but then did nothing with him. Wasted opportunity.

Hashtag RestoreTheScargiverVerese and give us our bad DC stuff back!

They should have made a wish upon a relic that gave EVERYONE proton packs. Because isn't there a little ghostbuster within all of us?

James was definitely a teacher. This is exactly how my teachers spoke to me.

Sam Rockwell would be an amazing Riddler

Uhhh, early next week Caravan of Garbage reveal? I like it!

Someone threw up in my ghostbusters screening and if that doesn’t speak to the spirit of this franchise idk what does

Super excited for House of the Dragon 🐉

Highly agree with the little stay puff marshmallow guys. Please god just drop it, it was awesome in Ghostbusters one, but a little piece of my soul dies every time i see them trying to cash in on this one minions wanna be thing.

Looks like we are getting a second part of James ranting compilation by the end of 2024, and I'm looking foward to it.

53:04 nooo James it’s not just you 😂that’s definitely done now man

Gawd besties for life love your dynamic - great pod🎉

While watching I got distracted by British Teenagers Try Biscuits and Gravy, but then I came back. They thought it was fine.

Rebel Moon is so forgettable, I actually forgot what movie they were referring to halfway through them discussing it.

Have you guys talked about The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live? It's been really good. I tried to see if y'all mentioned it in one of these more recent episodes, but maybe I missed it. Anyway, great series. They just have to stick the landing now.

We need to establish the AI guardrails while we can still detect its use. Once we can't, it will be too late.

IMO Speed Racer isn't some kind of masterpiece, but it is both fun and good-weird. Worth a look if good-weird is something you like.

Oh thank God for something light, I've been listening to fascinating horror channel about disasters and accidents and such. Be careful out there folks, you never know. BUT its comics and coffee time ya know I couldn't not mention a nice cuppa in the morning with the weekly planet guys. Got them Monday morning, got Off the Rack at night. Perfection.jpg

In Roadhouse, Conor McGregor is a fully AI character from a “squeaky fighting boy” prompt

"Ach! Mein Nutz!"

Remember Rodney.

So the honda trophy truck is going to be available in Autumn?!?!?! Im pumped, been trying to get this forever

Poor Kumail Nanjiani

I like Frozen Empire, it is mediocre. I love Phoebe's family troubles and her casper the friendly ghost plot, I wish the movie is just about that because to me the first hour is so good and the rest is so middling. I do however like the ending where Peck is forced to like the Ghostbusters because of the crowd and Phoebe accidentally calling Grooberson dad, and all that jazz. I am content with what we got, because it's really cute but I do agree they need to do something more, because as much as a callback haven Afterlife was, the setting and feel and tone and character interactions and overall story are original.

Ghostbusters Frozen Empire is the Oppenheimer of the Ghostbusters movies as far as cast size is concerned lol. The Real Ghostbusters episode with the werewolves and the vampires in the deserted town is still one of the best episodes of the series, but also of television.

A.I. is to Tyler Perry what motion capture was to Robert Zemeckis.

Please do the beginning bit scenario as the thing to introduce the best of the weekly planet 2024.

The Ghostbusters need to fight, like, competent Slimers. Ghosts that are kinda smart and mean, but not harbingers of demonic incursions. There should be comedic back and forth between the Ghostbusters and the ghosts! Make it like Mouse Trap or something.

#ReleaseTheRudeObiWanCut of this episode!

How does Aaron Taylor Johnson intend to be Bond when he'll be doing SPUMM movies for the next decade?

My fave racing movie is Breaking Away.

I think the problem with Ghostbusters and that seems to come out in James' problem with the whole thing is distilled in that one tweet that said the first movie is an extended SNL bit and people have latched onto it making it more than that. Like imagine trying to make all the SNL movies into franchises.

I worked as a Shooter/Editor in Albany, NY. Small tiny world.

I'm wondering if Mervel 1943 (terrible title, btw) third superhuman character is the Human Torch, by which I mean the Golden Age Android.

More AI extras are gonna result in less parts for new talent that never get noticed which means more Hollywood nepo babies will get a stranglehold on the industry in the future.

Weekly planet #50 is still my favourite episode, eager to see if you can top it in caravan of garbage

Can’t believe yall don’t even mention X-men 97. Has it not been released in Australia?

Anyone else get an ad for Disney stockholder voting? James and Maso clearly in the pocket of George Lucas 😂

Can someone explain to me why, at the climax of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, Bill Murray put on sunglasses _whilst_ indoors _whilst_ the sky is practically black with clouds, _whilst_ they're waiting for a demon ice god, only to take them off seconds later? Is it because he's Bill Murray, or perhaps because he's an alcoholic?

I wonder if the other super soldier in 1943 is Baron Blood the hydra vampire

I definitely feel like James Gunn would do justice to the Teen Titans far more that the edgelordy Titans show failed at.

No way Arron Taylor Johnson gets going after that craven movie drops :( I feel bad for him

Crazy to hear James defend Love and Thunder, but hate on Frozen Empire. 🤷‍♀️

I will always tune in to James (justifiably) hating Ghostbusters

RELEASE THE OBI WAN RIFF CUT.

I just don't see how something like sora ai could replace actual filming even if it didn't look uncanny. If you want to do an interesting shot or even just have a particular framing for a scene, it won't be able to do that in the specific way you want it. Maybe if you want to use it to generate random drone establishing shots it could work, but again the time spent generating shots and editing it to look better or consistent has to be weighed against just flying a drone camera and getting the shot immediately.

I think Aaron would make a good Bond, possibly Nolan directing would be an interesting combo and Nolan makes no secret of his ambition to direct an 007 film.

Looking forward to AI going the way of 3D. Big explosion where it's used everywhere before companies realizes it's not a shortcut to billions and move on. That said, I am a big fan of AI being used to Upscale old TV series. Especially ones denied proper DVD/Digital releases.

As much effort in the extended visuals as in the Caravan of Garbage version plus extra seconds of dog! 🐕

It is quite hard to take you guys with any sort of sincerity when you haven't done Speed Racer yet 😔

ALBANY NY REPRESENTING 😂😂😂

57:10 Why would they mix it up? Playing it safe and pandering to nostalgia is what has earned them the revenue they've made thus far. They won't want to jeopardise that.

I have to say - the point and "outrage" over Late Night With The Devil makes no sense. Indy film. No money. Would it be better if they said "Any artists want to work for free? Do us free work whilst we get paid for a film." Support independent film. Would it be bad for a micro-budget or low budget to use ai to do a sky replacement or add a castle on a hill?

40:17 XD

I'm probably the only one that feels this way - but I really really didn't like the Daredevil movie and a few months later they released its direct sequel, Elektra- which I really really liked. Come at me bros!

Sam Rockwell could be a fun Johnathan Constantine

Am cooking the dinner lads. Homemade pizza

Hello

Unlike James HotD the main one for me, impressed and surprised by the last season, although i found a lot of the characters fairly likable.

Producer Jason Reitman and director Gil Kenan apparently clashed over the entire concept of this sequel. Kenan lobbied for the main antagonist to be the actual Devil, with the climactic duel being fought while red hellfire spews into the New York streets. But taking a cue from Dante’s Inferno, Reitman pitched that the demon villain would actually bring forth cascades of ice, culminating in a battle around a sapphire beam of light so immense that the producer dubbed the CGI effect as a veritable “blue harvest”, which also happens to be the working title of Star Wars Episode IV A New Hope.

James loved the opening rant very funny.. however, who the hell are you talking to! 😆 ghostbusters fans only like the first one too, the most you'll get from the others is "two's not bad" and that's about it... what I'm saying is.. the ghostbusters fan was you all along

Engagement

Death race is the best racing film

40:03 my motherfucking birthday 🎁

Where is little James?

Hallo :)

Well, they half-assed then sidelined a Black female Bond in the last film just so that when people overlooked her, they could come back and say "Oh look, it doesn't work" and then fall back into the old status quo. I think it's hilarious that the entire Craig era of Bond was based on the idea that the character as he currently stood was archaic and needed to move forward into the present. It also established that the 007 identifier was just a rank and title along with the name that's passed from agent to agent as they get their status. So basically anyone who's an MI6 agent with two confirmed kills could be on the short list as the next 00. Yet apparently, in this universe, there's no such thing as an Afro-Brit (save for the ONE they kind of sort of had in No Time to Die) and there's not a single other Black person who serves as an MI6 agent who could become a 00. We're good enough to be a sexy Moneypenny, but not good enough to be a Bond. Because God knows they refuse to put anyone in the role who's not of European descent. I suppose that a Bond of a different race or sex is a step too far into the present that they were thematically pushing for. Idris Elba had his name in the hat years ago and would have been a great introduction to a Black version of Bond, but, from what I understand, person who held the rights at the time made a public statement that in their eyes Bond will always be a white male. Which is not only closed-minded, but it's closing the door on a plethora of Black British actors who could do amazing things in the role if they would just give them the opportunity. I guess Bond just isn't a franchise for Black action lovers since it's so staunchly refuses to accept us in it's 40 plus year long pantheon. Good luck to Aaron Taylor Johnson I guess.
