58:12 DC's "We want a Kevin Feige" sounds a bit like Mr Burns coaching the plant's softball team. Mr Burns tells Darryl Strawberry: "Hey, hit me a home run!" But doesn't actually coach him on how to do that, or in any way enable him to do that. DC says: "Hey, make me a Cinematic Universe that allows us to print money for decades." But they haven't actually done anything that would enable that to happen. They've just picked a guy, given him no tools or materials and told him to build a house.
I like how Pennyworth: Wayne Estate was thought of in 2 seconds and it’s better than the best name ever, Pennyworth: this guy will become the butler to the famous superhero batman, also known as Bruce Wayne.
I'm so out of touch with modern music that I didn't even know who Megan Thee Stallion was, I thought she was minor superhero who had been plucked from some obscure comic, some sort of sentient horse woman. I had to google her to learn that she's an actual real world person.
The actress who plays She-Hulk is actually a really big fan of Megan, so she recommended her to come on the show when they need a beautiful woman for a bit part but didn't know who they'd cast.
i thought it was a made up celebrity for the show, i still dont know her from anything other than the she hulk episodes, never seen her face heard her name or her music before
I was wondering why August felt a bit empty then I remembered y'all were on break and it all made sense. I'm here for all the "Pig rolling down a hill" energy you two are about to bring
based on historical precedent of what happens with DC actors who are also "allegedly" cult leaders, Ezra Miller is probably gonna end up starring in a Sony Spider-Man movie
3 episodes in and I think She Hulk isn't that great. I do that the political agenda goes overboard and is too in your face, without being properly written into the story. But it's not what killed the show for me. The lawyer stories are just too simplist and lazy, the humour is forced in many cases, and the writing isn't good! I LOVE Tatiana. Such a waste of her talent!
Never watched Pennyworth, but my mouth is hanging open to discover that the show is actually re-titled to the ridiculous name you may or may not have inspired. What? The? Actual? Fuck?
I met the guy whose taking the Kevin Fiege position at DC and he was honestly a nice bloke, even put me up at his family home when I had nowhere to stay when I first moved to LA
Dunno if this has been suggested before, but since James and Maso are both Southern Hemisphere boys, and the show IS called the Weekly Planet… would you ever consider switching to a Southern Hemisphere map of the globe for your logo? I think it’s something you could pretty easily and quietly change. Making it a fun detail that would go over most people’s heads with the ultimate effect of endearing you to the fans who eventually notice… like the hidden arrow in the FedEx logo… and looking at it now, obviously also just in the letters.
It's so great that you guys are back. Hope you enjoyed the break. I'm happy you brought up she hulk cause I got a friend who sent me a picture of she hulk twerking saying how this ruins the character and I asked how it ruined her, also as a side I had not seen the episode yet, and he went on a rant of the spirit of the character and what not. I disagreed with him saying it was just twerking and it was probably just a bit of fun in the comedy series and sure enough when I watched the episode I'm waiting for the scene in question only to find that it was a joke put at the end credits of the episode that did not affect the story or character in any way. Now after masons observation of how some people have something to be mad about for each episode ao far, I really hope that's the case cause I want to laugh at those people getting bent out of shape for something else that doesn't really matter. Love the content as always have a good day and thanks to anyone who took the time to read this comment Hope I made sense.
Ahhh yes, people mad at the writing and storytelling are just people mad for something that doesn’t matter. Did you learn that from your friends while riding the short bus?
@@famousdex1782 lol yeah it's a private bus for people who like to enjoy stuff like a fun show. But I also have to ask if you read the comment cause I didn't say my friend commented on the writing. He specifically called out the twerking which again was a throw away joke in a post credits scene of a comedic show that so far has had a different plot line in every episode. Also just to hit home nothing of what I have personally seen is people complaining of the writing its them screaming about specific scenes such as twerking.
The Fandom Menace are the worst culprits of all this She-Hulk kerfuffle, especially the twerking scene and whenever she has a go at Banner for being "better than him" and "controlling her anger INFINITELY more than him"
In regards to Disney maybe owning the rights to Batman, I'd like to point out that in Chip N Dale, they did the whole "Batman vs E.T" skit, meaning it's totally a possiblility.
One of my biggest problems with current DC, and there are a lot, is that they’ve skipped over establishing just about anything We’ve gone from a world where Batman and Superman were the only established superheroes straight to one where there are dozens of people with powers, aliens just interacting with people and more superheroes than you can shake a stick at
I just want to say I appreciate y'all. The Ike Perlmutter's of the world were over 1 billion dollars wrong. No wonder his picture with "that guy" always made a sinister sound.
I can finally sleep now as I vowed to not rest until Weekly Planet Cinematic Universe returned fully restored. Great to have you back! Also crazy that James also took a break from West World this past month in what we reading
I found the first 2 episodes of The Rings of Power excellent. Yes, there are differences from the books, but so long as the core story remains unchanged, a few changes will keep the story fresh and surprising for those who have read them. Considering that the adaptation of the Silmarillion was always going to be a difficult task, I am happy with the result, so far.
@@paddyknapp4151 It's not a matter of profits, it's the fact that he made a whole movie who's entire point seems to be to take a crap on another (better) movie. It's petty.
@@Robocopnik when it comes to him getting other gigs it's almost entirely about profits. And idk if that other movie you're referring to is The Last Jedi, but if it is, TLJ was awful. A second part in a trilogy which had no interest in developing storylines (in fact only cutting off storylines begun in 7) and seemed to only exist to crap on Star Wars and its fans.
Are you American? Weird how these men are so jam packed full of personality, yet the only thing you can think of is that they’re ozzy lmao Which is a very murican thing to say. Which I know you’ll say is ‘ironic’ of me to say, but that’s not analogous so I’m just warning you not to say it. (P.S. say it’s ironic for extra gottem points)
Amazon: Hey we’re making this new version of Lord of the Rings! What do you think. All the Fans: We don’t like it at all. You should fix it. Amazon: Releases it without any changes. All the Fans: We don’t like it! Amazon: How dare you review bomb this thing we made?!
The only issue I really have wih this show is like.. that one scene where She-Hulk sorta belittles Bruce and his trauma.. which is extensive. Like she talks about how hard it is for her to have a temper, but then she lashes out at Bruce, who.. tried to commit suicide at some point, so his depression went pretty far. And then the woman that he loved literally died. So to yell at someone close to you, and tell them that you handle your anger infinitely better.. not a great look, not a great message. But since we have to treat everyone equally, I can't say that Jennifer Walters crossed a line and acted out pretty cruelly.. because then I'd be criticizing a woman for being angry. You undersand the cyclical, hypocritical nature of this whole, very precarious topic.. No one can say anything on the internet with out being wrong in someone's eyes. Which is why I don't try to be. If you don't agree with me.. I don't care, mate.
@@ThreadBomb Like.. a ficional character's trauma? This is the other thing about Marvel that I'm not liking. It's starting to betray it's characters for that good and easy goofy comedy that everyone remembers from The Avengers. Except.. it's not the same comedy. That humor had a place. This modern Marvel humor permiates, oversaturates, and overpowers it's content. Also, I don't think that part where Jennifer is yelling at Bruce.. that was not meant to be a joke. For once it was serious. And it still betrayed it's character's trauma.
They played her getting attacked, as a joke. In reality, she should have immediately hulked out as soon as getting grabbed. Instead they play it as a joke with her saying, "oH wAiT", as if she could possibly forget she could do that or that her transformation isn't triggered by anger or stress. It wouldnt be that big of deal, but considering she hulked out on guys simplying hitting on her, hulked out when she was woken up with an airhorn, and of course the wall of buzz saws; it really shows the inconsistency in the show. The only thing consistent, is that "men are bad". If you want to look at how a strong female character should be written, look at Evangeline Lilly in the Ant-Man movies. No one complained about her! We wanted The Wasp! It's not that the fans don't want female superheroes, we just want well written female superheroes. She-Hulk twerked itself into a grave this episode
I'm constantly amazed at the amount of anger people put into hating fiction. There's good criticism, and then there's just complaining about things. And most of the time it's the latter, specially about She Hulk.
Finally the long dark month without ye lads is over. Welcome back lads
Longest month of my life
i thought i was the only 1😂🫠
For reeeaal
Omg I went crazy last month
Lads!!!!
THEYRE BACK
you guys really picked the most jack packed month to take a break haha
The entire industry just waiting years for these boys to take a break so they could go absolute buck wild XD
Jack packed? Jam packed surely? So packed that you have to jam it in
6:30 I literally typed in the words "penny" and Google stumbled over itself to give me the search option "Pennyworth blue guy" XD
I had no idea what was happening in the Political Landscape without you Boys and your hard hitting Political Entertainment Commentary.

The best Return of the Weekly Planet has to be the Dark Knight, for Heath Ledger’s performance alone.
I like how Pennyworth: Wayne Estate was thought of in 2 seconds and it’s better than the best name ever, Pennyworth: this guy will become the butler to the famous superhero batman, also known as Bruce Wayne.

The discourse around anything without you boys has been a litteral nightmare. Please know you were missed and are appreciated.

It should be noted that Zaslav is getting a compensation package worth $246 million while he's trying to make $3 billion in budget cuts.

Not only did they re title it to the most ridiculous name in the history of names.
Alfred fucks the Queen.
YOU'RE GODDAMN RIGHT! The Boys are back in town, er...Podcast. It's Dog Time Everybody!
So glad you guys are back. Loved all the bonus content you put on in your absence. Thanks for all you guys do!
First time listening to the pod on shrooms. It's my day off and all I'm doing is cleaning the house. I understand James now.
Pennyworth blue guy is going up on google search so significantly. DC marketing team will have to bring in more blue men into the series.
WB executive 1: hey, those weekly pull boys are taking a month off
WB executive 2: excellent, release all the news all at once
Amazon is so confident in their product… that they won’t allow negative reviews to be posted. Seems legit and not sketchy to me.
"fwooooosh!"
J.R.R. Tolkien is dead? Man, you boys come in with fresh news right from the get go 🤣
so happy to have y’all back- went on two vacations this month ! & was dyin for new Sunday movie/weekly planet downloads
Welcome back, m8s! Can't wait for the Snake Eyes breakdown ...
