Easily the most deranged tier list they've done yet. Vague concept, Inconsistent/incomprehensible judging criteria? 10/10 carry on lads
I would be disappointed if they produced S-tier tier lists.
Sorry, the answer is: the movie "Joker" starring Joaquin Phoenix
Poor Back tot he Future got robbed with the great shift. They weren't just one good one but two great ones and one good one.
But hey, they don't make the rules.
I stopped trying to figure out how they were doing this by the time they hit Willow. I really needed this laugh😂
Shifting the whole thing down three tiers at the end absolutely killed me :D
I liked that Rocky was mentioned in passing, and then never ranked or even thought of again
Started in the 70s. We don't make the rules
@mrsundaymovies yes you do
@@mrsundaymoviesI'll assume that Ben made this response because you guys famously don't read the comments. Hey Ben.
Actually Matt edited this one so less likely to be Ben. Generally Ben and Lawrence do Caravan of Garbage, Matt does editorials + tier lists style stuff, RAWCollings (Rob Collins) does the Podcast and other videos. I can't say who does what for Big Sandwich stuff as I'm not a subscriber but there are other collaborators that the teamwork with for stuff like the 16bit videos and Comic COG episodes. @@jasoncarter1869
@@mrsundaymoviesgood job sticking to the rules or Star Wars would have been mentioned and that would just derail the whole even more than it already is.
OH man, I hope that the lads do a tier list of the all-time best and worst of their own tier lists! Like, opinions change over time... Do they STILL think the same of what they did before? The world needs to know.
As long as Corn of Coblin is still S tier
Would be a good year in review vid. All the tier lists pls!
This one specifically would be an A tier, which would name it a D, maybe?
Genius
James' eternal love for all things Ghostbusters is a joy for the world.
When I left the theater in 1981 at age 7 after seeing Raiders of the Lost Ark I turned to my mom and said Mom I hope they keep making movies with this guy until he's 10 years older than grandpa is
Careful what you wish for!
So it's your fault! You bastard!!!!!
So it's YOUR fault, is it?! 😂
Great childhood memories
@@BLSFL_HAZE now we know want to do when time travel is invented
The edit and the timing on the Beverly Hills Cop “there was a pause” being accompanied by a freeze frame on “directed by John Landis” was so perfectly, wonderfully upsetting. Bravo, Matt
Killer joke
Man, the Conan extended universe is wild
The Conaniverse Extended Universe has more connections than you would think at first glance,
The Conan canon.
The original stories had Conan meet Brazilian natives, in Ireland
@@Siresly The Conon
Conan is really broad as a franchise. I think the originals crossed over with Lovecraft. And nowadays he's on the Avengers, or atleast he was
I am a guy James’ age or above and I am furious.
But are you fast? Fast and furious maybe?
@@adamkhant2865you may not know this, but that was the name of a movie
RoboCop showed up during a wrestling program and saved Sting from being locked up in a cage (Possibly forever).
S-Tier
I thought you meant sting from the police and was very disappointed when I looked it up
Sting is in the Police. Robocop is a police. This makes sense
Would rather rewatch that than Robocop 3
GO GET ‘EM ROBOCOP
I was waiting for them to show that clip of Robo on WCW
Rambo 5: Home Stallone
You just don't turn it off!!!
Stallone is just building his new house then bowie knifes some crook drug dealers in his suburban neighbourhood
Robocop belongs there because it's satire, Terminator because it's popcorn entertainment, Aliens and Predator for similar reasons, but Rambo devolving into unintended self-parody is the sole reason he belongs in Mortal Kombat. He decapitates a man with a hunting knife!? Fatality!
Pay money 4 this now
The Max Rockatansky-verse is legit S tier. Max Max may have been released in 79 but it didn't get released in the US until 1980. I absolutely consider this an 80s franchise that at worst has 1 good movie (Thunderdome) and everything else is great.
... so it's a 70s franchise, since it started in the 70s?
Yeah, I mean, Beyond Thunderdome got crapped on when it came out but at worst it's just a little sillier than the rest of the series. And Fury Road was a stunning piece of work, the kind of reboot/revival you expect to suck but it just blew you away, acting like the franchise had just momentarily stepped out for a smoke instead of being on hiatus for decades.
We will know that something has gone terribly wrong if one day they do Snake Eyes 😂
Will be studio interference
it took me this long to realize its an ongoing joke i feel so stupid 😂
I'm very certain, if and when they decided to end this podcast, Snake Eyes will be the last movie reviewed
The boys have done it. I've never disagreed with a Tier List nor the definition of what constitutes a franchise more. 5/5
Putting "Terminator" in S right out of the gate was a bold move, for sure.
@@HarryBuddhaPalm mentioning that they like Dark Fate is even bolder.
@@sternonisoil They even doubled down by claiming people loved the scene of John Connor being shot.
They don't even agree with this list.
@@sternonisoilI still hold that Dark Fate is the third best by a long margin. It's not perfect, but it's decent.
Show Waspinator the respect he deserves 😠😤
Right? Mason says Transformers media is awful and the example they show is Waspinator in all his glory?
@@Azaul And he admits that G1 is mostly garbage, yet the editor shows a clip from probably the most consistently good Transformers cartoon? Smh some people just don't know Trans-lore.
Replies in Megatron "Yes"
Beast Wars was genuinely great. The restraints of primitive CGI meant they couldn’t afford lots of flashy action, which meant they were forced to do a lot of character driven drama surprisingly deep story lines. The character development was great and the connection to G1 lore was fun to explore.
Kinda funny how so many of these legacy franchises are just kind of dottering around with cinematic memory loss, just doing the same things over and over again
What do you mean, Die Hard has never been done in an office building
No Predator?!?!?!
I think I speak for everyone when I say this channel should review ALL of the Nightmare on Elm Street films.
Thank you Mr.Sunday for another movies
I agree as a transformers fan that a lot of older TF media isn't great, but using beast wars as an example is a BOLD move
James and Maso's banter over their opposing Ghostbusters opinions never gets old either here or on the podcast.
They completly forgot about predator and ninja turtles and heman
And Rocky and Alien (ok technically the 70s)
@@chrisnotyou 80s franchises isn't specific to films. HE man originated in the 80s, has had 4 tv shows, two movies, although one was animated, a christmas special several video games and many many toys.... it fits the theme of the video completely
Also Police Academy, which had 7 movies, a television series and an animated series!
Lack of TMNT is crazy.
I generally agree with their final assessment, most of these franchises are garbage as franchises. Ninja Turtles has impressive staying power, but I only have a modest affinity for it. Predator though gets to be completely redeemed by Prey.
Can agree with Die Hard 4. It's really enjoyable stuff. And yes, killing a helicopter with a car is peak.
Wow, I can't wait to listen to the Snake Eyes review next week on The Weekly Planet Podcast!
Glad to see some love for Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles.
Conan O'Brien had an early bit called "the idiots making fun of my name", which was these three guys calling him endless variations on "Conan the [X]Arian": "Hey Conan! Conan the Vegetarian! Where's your arugula? Yeah, where's your tofu dogs?" etc. etc.
Robocop and Ghostbusters should definitely be on the same level, whatever that is: "the first one was good, nothing else really captured the magic but the TV adaptation had its moments".
I always tell people that the only fictional thing that felt like I was given PTSD while watching it is the death of Glenn on The Walking Dead, but I forget about a lot of things from when I was younger. I've only sen Robocop twice but the scene where he's shot to oblivion felt traumatizing both times, somehow. To be fair the first time I was like 9.
Whichever editor put that microphone in front of Schwarzenegger for his "podcast".... *chef's kiss* 😂
Wow, this list went off the rails real fast. LOL! Good job!
The saddest thing about GI Joe was when a Transformers twitter page made an April fools joke about audiences being disappointed about their appearance in ROTB and people agreed
This is how I feel about 90's video games. (Resident Evil, Tekken, Mortal Combat, MGS, Final Fantasy, Zelda.) Some of these are 80's (and great) but they just keep making sequels and remakes and it's doing my head in a bit.
James: I don't hate Ghostbusters I really like the first one but I don't like the second, third, fourth, fifth most of the cartoons probably the comics and the fans... but other than that I like it
He's not wrong, though.
Great edit in the first two seconds right out the gate, excellent work!
Lethal Weapon gets an S for the always sunny sequels.
Every once and a while I forget that James and Maso are just ridiculous trolls and then they roll out a video like this to remind me.
“Move everything down three” was chaotic and I love it
Good thing they only made one Ghostbusters movie.
If RoboCop is so bad, how did it have the power to disrupt the entire ranking system? Also, James is beating that Ghostbusters horse so hard it's going to come back as a ghost horse and haunt his family.
Hahahaha omg 😂
Glad you mentioned The Sarah Connor Chronicles. That series was absolutely fantastic.
Terminator franchise getting S-Tier in spite of the recent lackluster sequels and quasi-reboots, etc is a testament to how good the first two movies are.
8:12 is fightin words. Almost rage quit right there but then remembered you guys are the best
This was the worst tier list I’ve ever seen. I’ve never been so upset to see some of my most beloved franchises be so disrespected. Great video boys! Keep it up!
Snake eyes review finally!
I love these Troll/tier lists. Struck the perfect balance of generating outrage clicks, while being entirely authentic and sincere about the process of creating a nonsensical tier list to generate outrage clicks. Keep it up!
I can’t wait for the 80s sequel on 2080!!! Missed the first one hopefully I’ll be able to make the next!
You guys should redo this but have two lists, one for the start of the franchise (first movie, first show, toy line, etc.) and then one for the remainder of the franchise. Really show which ones tried to be a franchise vs which ones kept trying to milk a golden goose.
The end of this episode is brilliant. Moving everything down and then doubting all your ranking was honestly hilarious.
Snake Eyes: forever next week on the podcast :’)
I truly appreciate a tier list where you disagree with your own choices before you're even done. Funny video as always
Terminator 3 with the Arnold commentary is amazing 😍
You watch interviews with him and he actually seems really smart for his political persuasion, I can't help but wonder if he was drunk during that commentary track
@@futurestoryteller I don't think he is dumb I just think he doesn't understand what a commentary should be lol 😆 and he's f****** Marlon Brando level compared to like Steven seagull
The Always Sunny additions to the Lethal Weapon franchise werent factored in. Easily S tier 😂
I was originally going to ask "Where's Highlander?", but the further I got in the video, the more I think I've passed out huffing glue 😂
Gremlins 2 is so underrated. The Abe Lincoln joke is brilliant
Finally getting that Snake Eyes review. Just need the Red Dwarf ep now...
Wow! Putting a video out on a Sunday? How very odd of you, MR. SUNDAY!
I’ve been listening through the weekly planet from the start, and last night I listened to like the 7th or 8th episode, and mason said the EXACT SAME THING about the Widows Peak making Bruce Willis look like a tired man. That was so weird, it threw me off for a second😂
I’m excited that they’re finally getting around to reviewing Snake Eyes next week!
very amusing banter as always chaps
This is the funniest tier list I've seen. That ending lol.
Beast Wars catching some strays in this video. I don't care what anyone says. That show had heart. Really kicked into gear after the first season. Reboot too while we're at it. Those two were my childhood late night double feature on YTV.
I know you guys have a blindspot for STAR TREK, but they put out five films in the 80s, THIRTEEN in total so far (with one on the way), and ELEVEN TV series, (with one on the way). Whatever you think of ST, that's gotta make it the king of all 80s fanchises that just won't die, even bigger than STAR WARS, which, I would argue, should also have been on the list.
I think they'd count that as a 60s franchise, though it was in the 80s that it was really established that they could keep this going forever.
Why would you consider it an 80's franchise though? And Star Wars began in the 70's.
@@barghest94 I can kind of see it. In the 60s, it was a TV show that got cancelled after the third season. In the 70s, it was this nerd cult phenomenon that eventually spawned a critically panned huge-budget movie, one that did make money but not as much as they'd hoped. But in the 80s, it turned into a sustainable movie franchise and then a sustainable TV franchise, and that's where all modern Star Trek basically originates.
@@barghest94 Because everyone thought it was dead, so ST: The Motion Picture was a rebirth. And it came out in Dcember '79, which is definitely the 80's.
Because it wasn't a franchise until The Motion Picture.
Rambo also had a cartoon series.
I agree with your ranking. You guys can't do no wrong.
Oh my god, this got off the rails so quickly and just descended into absolute madness.
didn't expect to hear some Conan love here. knew there was a good reason I liked you two
I would like to see a ranking/tier list of Mr Sunday Movies ranking/tier lists. This one might be a C. D.
I like how they got to the end and were like, "wait a minute, we hate this" and still put the video out. "Should we fix no?" "NO! PUBLISH VIDEO!!"
And the consistency with the snake eyes bit 😂😂 got me good
Ah, yes. Another Tierlist which slowly and steadily descends into madness. Great Job, everybody
There was a great Back to the Future game on the Amiga I remember.
In Robert E. Howard's stories, King Kull lived in the same 'continuity' as Conan, but thousands of years before.
There was also a Back to the Future card game from the people that make Fluxx. The basic premise is that you and the other players are decedents of characters from the main series, each with a card that tells you what changes you need to make to the timeline (as represented by a grid of other cards) in order to win or have Doc Brown uninvent time travel. Unfortunately, it's out of print, so I may have to dig around in my mom's shed for my copy.
I love this mess and I did a lot of eyebrows raising through and enjoying knowing it was going to piss people off until lethal weapon and James and Maso got me up in arms
I love you guys
These rankings are bonkers!
Do a tier ranking of horror franchises!
11:34 Beast Wars is the best Transformers property, and I can't be convinced otherwise... mainly because it is the only one I have watched.
After the unhinged reasoning behind this video, I think you should do a tier ranking video of all your tier ranking videos.
I'm a lifelong Transformers fan as well, who wholeheartedly loves Beast Wars (a curse on whoever decided to include THAT clip as an example of poor media), but to rank it based on the toys and not the media..... Madness. Ghostbusters probably had the second or third best set of toys from any of these franchises, but that didn't pull them up.
Bravo to James for saying the original Top Gun isn't great. Lot of rose-tinted spectacles with that one.
Bladerunner also has a pretty great anime midquel series.
Glad to hear you are finally doing Snake Eyes!
I put Indiana Jones at S, because it actually knows which direction to go and what needs changing. Unlike Terminator, which stays the course regardless of the times.
You guys are totally takin a piss, and I'm here for it
I think they're being as serious as you can be about 80's excess and its contributions to and ongoing relationship with late stage capitalism
I’d love to see them do a tier list of weekly planet running gags.
How do they decide when there's a premier and when there isn't. Is there ALWAYS a live premier and I just miss it usually? The chat is usually really, really clever and timely with the video.
I want more terrible tier lists. Rank some stuff you know next to jack all about - D&D classes, Lancer Frames, Coolest Gundam heads --- or something so australia niche that it doesn't apply to most people, best local takeaway franchises or somesuch.
Yes, The Sarah Connor Chronicles deserves all the love! Was so good.
We need a comprehensive, feature-length Star Wars character tier list
Well technically if you were excluding the first movie Top Gun Maverick should have been higher, not lower.
Same with Bladerunner (according to James' views, not mine), and Terminator shouldn't have dropped as far as the second film is as strong as the first...maybe 2 places instead of three.
@@matthewstarkie4254 Correction - according to the correct opinion, not yours. Indiana Jones and Die Hard maybe even Beverly Hills Cop wouldn't have fallen quite so far either. Back to the Future?
when you both said "I don't like ghostbusters" the advert for the new Ghostbusters film interrupted the video
Lethal Weapon should be bumped up because with the sequels HBO put out mockumentary behind the scenes movies. I still crack up to this day over the "quitters" skit they randomly put in it.
Back to the Future also has a musical that is actually pretty good
I've never agreed more with a ranking video
They’ve done it! Engagement off the roof with everyone disagreeing with the tier list. Did I agree with any ranking, no. But did I enjoy this video, absolutely, S tier.
I am upset, outraged, and shocked! Just what I come here for cheers lads
Yes the long waited notorious snake eyes review is back on track. I'll rewatch it for the 10th time and will be waiting with baited breath for the boys highly anticipated discussion on how that man got snakes for eyes.
Im glad you guys make it S for back to the future the story feel complete and satisfied
I have left this questioning your tastes and your sanity. Keep up the good work!
Great episode. Lethal Weapon TV series was actually great in the first two seasons. Clayne Crawford played an excellent Riggs. Unfortunately it was Damon Wayans who made life terrible for everyone on set. He never wanted to do the show in the first place.
Lethal Weapon was great. Crawford played an excellent Riggs, even better than Gibson. From what I read, Wayans had issues with Crawford after an episode where Crawford directed due to Crawford being pushy while directing and that caused the replacement as Wayans was the harder character to replace. This is such a dumb thing to happen and I can't really blame Wayans for it as nobody is really going to have a good time going into work one day and having to deal with their coworker being their boss suddenly for a few days.
@@stevecole90099 he really was awesome. Damon acted like this unfortunately most of the series. Check out Clayne’s interview explaining really what happened. He’s a pretty down to earth guy.
ua-cam.com/video/u908kIaj12U/v-deo.htmlsi=o8Q9KEBKzIbdgZc2
I was really hoping they would mention the Rambo cartoon!
Agreed. The Force of Freedom: ua-cam.com/video/sacAWE4mPbg/v-deo.html Headphone warning, the volume is jacked up when it starts.
@@The22ndDoctor the audio was jacked up because Rambo was so jacked up. It's the only way to do him justice!
Oh nice! Snake Eyes review next week!
You should rank all the Snake Eyes movies next
I just got First Blood from the Library the other day, and was excited to read it. Thanks for the spoiler ya dang Ausie.

Sometimes I worry that AI will get smart enough to destroy society (by disrupting the economy not skynetting) other times I worry that it _won't_ because we need one to make these real. There are just not enough fan fiction writers with enough talent in the world to make this happen.
Some of these, I obviously wouldn't like, but there are other mashups I'd be down for. Beetlejuice and Ghostbusters is good, but what about Beetlejuice and Elm Street? Or Bill & Ted Meet Die Hard?
Also, why is the Matrix on here. Or Home Alone, for that matter?
@@futurestoryteller ~hey, thanx for the feedback, i like your ideas, too~
...Mason said, " it [Rambo: Last Blood] was like Home Alone, but with murder...?"
...& James said, "Stallone Alone!!"
...(i thought that was hilarious, so i riffed on that!!)...
...most of the movies are from the '80s, but some are just franchises that are out of ideas...?
...(i thought "Indiana Jones and The Legend of the Na'vi" would be fun, but i changed it, since Avatar is too current...?
...now i think the idea of Indy having a Close Encounter with Jaws is even funnier!!!)
...i think AI Technology for personnal use (like this list) could be fun, but i wonder about the future of Artists & Copyrights???
...if enough computers Assimilate enough OLD ideas, is it then considered "A NEW Work of Art???"
...(AND, i agree, it will more than likely Destroy Society!!!)...
~kind regards~

The fact that Back To The Future wasn’t immediately plugged into the spot that it landed in, and there was a second of hesitation is bound to infuriate folks on its own. 9:39
