Started watching you guys many years ago around the time of Batman vs Superman and when marvel was becoming hotter and hotter. Now I’m much older, and I’m so glad that unlike some of the other creators I used to watch, you guys have aged and matured with me. Between the start of the episode talking about Israel-Palestine, the get vaccinated rant, and the WGA/SAG strikes talk, you guys continue to be based as fuck, and are always a joy to watch and listen to. To many more years of The Weekly Planet and Caravan of Garbage, and to the return of Rodney, cheers gents, yous are sound like 🤘
For what it's worth, I always appreciate when you guys take the time to comment on things like the Scream 7 situation. I know you hate doing it, but comic book movies don't exist in a vacuum, and it's nice to get reminders that you are, indeed, great mates!
I appreciate immensely the clear cut analysis of the situation and an unequivocal condemning of the war crimes taking place. In America, our politicians are gaslighting us about the conflict. Thank you for being clear about the need to end this violence, and about Barrera’s situation.
I know what you mean. It's odd that saying "Genocide is wrong. Purposely targeting civilians is atrocious AND a war crime." We've let Israel get out of control, they are bound to start more wars with other countries the way they act. They literally just bombed a UN School, WITH NOTHING AROUND IT. A 'certain' wing has somehow gotten MORE illogical and extreme.
Loved the post-credits scene where Julius Caesar came through a portal and role Napoleon he was building a team. Can’t wait to see how it ties in to the next Karate Kid.
I think you are confusing Napoleon with Mussolini or with white nationalist of the modern world. Napoleon did not had a hardon for roman empire, neither has any European leader besides fascist. It´s the Americans who over obssesed over it and decided to make their government buildings in the style of Roma and Ancient Greek, we Europeans are, weirdly enough, far less obssessed with ancient Europe. I know your comment is a joke, but you should know a little bit about Napoleon to make a Napoleon joke.
@ungreatfulduck750 chill frenchie, he was a conqueror who loved slaves, lets not say he was entirely removed from the realm of fascism. also why would you assume the person youre replying to is American? Just kidding I know why. stop doing it.
@@yungoldman2823 Didn´t say I was French. Didn´t say OP was American. Didn´t say Napoleon wasn´t a dictator on his own right, just not obssesed with Roman empire. Your reading comprehension is embarrassing.
Thank you guys for everything. I'm really impressed that you chose to speak on such heavy matters and were humbly stating your views within the relevance that your views exist. On another note, I believe that Filoni will be very open to other views, as I recall he took some very stern notes from Sam Witwer when brainstorming a scene where Anakin talks to Padme about his Mother Shmee.
For as much as I agree with you and am proud James an Maso are on the right side of history... I really wish they hadn't said anything at all. I think right now it is too impassioned on both sides to have a reasonable discussion regarding the facts. This means the boys may lose sponsorship deals or create fervent detractors, and they are still on the way up in TH-cam. They arent quite at the Markiplier or Tayor Swift levels of "fuck you, this is what I think" success. I had a slight argument with my Chinese brother-in-law who usually doesn't care about politics, which flabbergasted me! It seems everyone who even slightly looks into the issue will be pro-Israel so it is scary to voice a Left-leaning opinion that Israel is perpetrating war-crimes. I just want people who don't usually talk politics to stay out of it, but as this issues drags-on, that will be impossible.
@@marmalarto say nothing is to be compliant. James and Mason care more about morality that about how they are viewed and if they get sponsorships. That’s who they are, and in my opinion, they are right for it. Also, I’ve looked into it, and no I am not pro-Israel, why would any sane person be pro-war crimes, pro-killing of innocents. Explain to me, rationally, why I would actively side with Israel. What I think is needed is peace, and a two-state solution. Palestine needs to be its own nation, otherwise the Palestinian people will be ethnically cleansed. I think you’ll find MOST left-leaning people will be anti-Israel AND anti-Hamas. Both are evil, but Palestine should still be free.
@@marmalar Disagreed hardly, as the comment below you responded saying nothing is to be compliant of a direct war crimes. Why is it OK to say Putin is bad but Netanyahu gets a free pass to bomb UN Hospitals? He has crossed the line, he is outright doing a racial cleansing, which I don´t have to point out how terrible for the Jewish community this is, it puts a big target for hatred. Condeming Hamas terrorist attacks BUT ALSO any legit government commiting war crimes are not contradictory statement, as they both aim for peace. Here on Spain you would have a really hard time finding people supporting the bombing of Gaza, or the existance of Gaza, the entire EU just put out a statement today saying the ideal solution is a cease fire on both sides and stablishing a conversation table to allow for the two states solution, which was the initial plan prior to Brits and Americans leaving the two groups "solve their issues each other" while at the same time sending tons of money in a single direction. Just look at pictures of Gaza´s wall or a map of Jewish to Palestine controlled areas of the country. Look at the children Israel is realeasing now, 14 year old kids that have spend the last 2 years of their life in prison because they throw a rock, or because they had a video on their phone Israel considered subversive. Spend 50 years of your life with a boot on your neck threating you like and animal, Terrorist? I would be honored to be called that if that was the life I was given. Look at the stats at encarcelation rates of Israel and the life expectancy of a Palestinian in Gaza, the Zionist are doing to Palestinians something akin to what Nazis did to not just Jews but all groups they deemed worthy of their hatred. And by doing this, they have put again a target on the regular Jewish people who are actually against this massacre. Netanyahu is a monster, and the fact nobody outside of a few European countries can say it is disgusting. So proud of being a Spaniard this days, only country with a president with the balls to say it publicly.
@pauldunkerley7939 I 100% agree with you and think of myself as extremely left-leaning. I am just surprised at how many people do not inform themselves of all the facts before determining a position. It is the ignorant and complacent majority of people that will get angry and have been guilty of doxxing students at Ivy league schools or rescinding employment offers or even censuring Congress-members due to any anti-Israeli language. That is the kind of backlash I don't want for James and Mason. True it would be cowardly to stay in silence, so I am ultimately glad they spoke up, I just hate the current political climate we live in... well I guess politics has always been like this.
At 33:10 when james says "give him a moment" my phone somehow connected to bluetooth headphones i wasnt using, and due to the timing of what he said i thought it was an elaborate bit they were doing and sat listening to nothing for a few minutes before i got suspicious
Its so nice to listen to well adjusted people with such a terrific repertoire during these "interesting" times - Thank you for being good people (even if you dont think you are).
Real turn around performance for Mason this episode, after a lacklustre introduction speaking with a mouth full of a presumably artisan panini, unveiling a hence unprecedented talent for the mouth saxophone. Once again proving himself the atlas of this duo, carrying everything.
I always love seeing comments like this here. James and Mason clearly have left leaning politics but when ever they mention it, the comment section ends up being the worst. It's a shame so many comic book medium fans are also chuds
"By what standard of morality can the violence used by a slave to break his chains be considered the same as the violence of a slave master?" Walter Rodney
It's funny how Mason mentioned Dave Gibbons right after talking about Doctor Who, when the episode that just aired is an adaptation of a Pat Mills/Dave Gibbons Doctor Who comic story from the magazine from the 70s
Because the Zionist want to destroy Gaza entirely. Netanyahu couldn´t care less about the hostages, his bombing has already killed several and Palestinian militias have already killed 200 Israeli soldiers. Sure, they have killed 15,000 Palestinians so I guess in his mind he´s winning, but none of those deaths were neccessary. He knows what he is doing, he has always known, look it up Hamas would not exist if it wasn´t for Netanyahu, this is a plan 10 years in motion to create a false narrative in which the world allows him to commit a racial and cultural cleansing. He is a modern Hitler, no question about it.
@@ronyellaz That's the point. For a month-and-a-half, many people were claiming that calling for a ceasefire was expressing support for Hamas. That was never true.
So Jenna Ortega in prior years has made pro palestine comments, and with the upcoming scream movie it was reported she would be busy but still work on the scream movie, until it came out the day after Melissa Barrera was fired that Jenna was no longer attached to the movie. I think to me it seems that there is a connection but until its confirmed its speculation
I think james is pretty right on with the idea that Napoleon was "Lucky" while in exile he did comment to say his good luck had finally ended. The Terror, Wars and overall situation in france was perfect for him to rise through the ranks speedly. He was the right man at the perfect time. And yeah he was abit of a massive fucking incel. Absolutely hated women and was bullied alot before he was in power.
Thanks for your nuanced and reasoned commentary on such a contentious topic. And then thanks for making me laugh about all the frivolous shit we occupy the rest of our time with. 😅
I'll be honest: I'm a little sad John Woo doesn't care about superhero movies, as I'd love to see him make one. Whether it's the more muted violence (but still action heavy) MI2 or something a little more graphic like Hardboiled, he's a great action director, and I'd love to see what he'd do with a superhero film (and which one he'd make - would it be the obvious Punisher or maybe Daredevil, or a ridiculous Hawkeye film?). That said, if he doesn't like them, that's unfortunate, but I don't blame him for it.
My dear imaginary friends Maso&James (literally my best friends), I love you so much. I was already assuming what your stance on the issue must be, yet I wasn't expecting you to explain (nobody has to) BUT STILL........... finally hearing is really nice. Thanks ❤️
you should do a caravan of garbage for all three Kung Fu Panda movies (IMO one of the best animated trilogies of all time. Well that is until the 4th movie comes in a couple months)
Re: Ridley Scott’s movies: His biggest flaw as a director imho, has always been that he doesn’t pay enough attention to the scripts. He’s much more focused on the visual aspects of his productions, and the performances can sometimes be off as a result.
oh wow, i didn't know australia was this corrupt too. holy shit. learn something new everyday and also she was right. i hope the movie bombs. it's crazy you can't mentioned the obvious war crimes by both of these people

@@reedraikes7471 James literally screamed for viewers to get vaccinated and he said if anyone wanted to whine in the comments that they were leaving the channel because he was pro-vax that they could kick rocks. It was epic as hell.
Hot take Jackie Chan's karate kid movie is really underrated- the kung fu and philosophy is portrayed really well and jackie and jaiden smith are both really good. Also in kung fu panda he's monkey
I love how these big revolutionary moments were depicted as a back and forth, then a monologue ripping someone to pieces and then everyone charged at them in rage
I assume there is a French production of a Napoleon biopic that isn’t insulting to historians..? I know Kubrick was obsessed with a Napoleon film. Maybe an English language adaptation of a famous Frenchman’s life is just unnecessary
I don’t know about this Napoleon movie. I probably would’ve changed some things. Maybe rewrite which battles he won and lost. One thing in particular is not let him lose the Waterloo battle.
I for one, am outraged that these lads would adopt such a controversial political stance as "Human children don't deserved to be carpet bombed" So woke smh.
That sums it up pretty well. No matter what anyone believes, We should all quickly agree that killing innocent children is wrong. In Theory that is, In reality though we live in a truly sick world.
Maybe not all, but many of them. Favourite moment is when James is like "vampires don't have..." and Maso goes "working dicksh?" while eating something
what a flawlessly simple and on point take on what’s happening to Palestine. it’s been wild to watch so many supposedly Leftist content creators both-sides this obvious genocide or just avoid the topic all together. always pleasantly surprised to hear this upbeat pop culture podcast more consistently anti-colonist than more overtly political content creators.
As someone familiar with the history, i cannot express how disappointing this movie was. It's weirdly vindictive, the inaccuracies are absolutely everywhere, and Ridley Scott's attitude towards the history is really telling.
What amazes me about the people calling for people like Melissa to be cancelled is this assumption of a Jewish Hive Mind or Arab Hive Mind. Also I *do* condemn Hummus
The reason the studio wanted less John Goodman in Kong Skull Island was because Legendary is chinese owned, so they didn’t know who he was, on top of the tradition of those studios to favour young stars. This is also why Jing Tian was so shoe-horned into the movie, she became really popular in chinese tv the years prior
Sorry, this turned out longer than I expected, I hope you guys read it regardless, but just know I have tremendous respect for you even if we disagree. I'll start by saying a few things: 1. I love you guys and the podcast, and have been a long time listener. 2. I am Israeli, and I was in Israel on the October 7th attack. I know people who were murdered, brutalized and kidnapped (including toddlers and a baby). 3. I think the death of civilians and widespread destruction happening in Gaza is tragic and heartbreaking. No one, especially children should ever die in warfare or endure such conditions. So on to what I actually wanted to say: I agree that the firing of Melissa Barrera was entirely uncalled for, showing sympathy to human suffering should never be punished, no matter what your politics are. I hope she finds other better projects (the Scream franchise has been running on fumes for a while). That said, I do feel that there is a certain sentiment coming from the voices who call for a cease-fire (you guys as well) that pretty much absolves Hamas of any accountability. Yes, Israel is dropping bombs and leading attacks that result in civilian casualties, but that is greatly exacerbated by the fact that Hamas is using civilians as human shields, building their command centers in schools and hospitals, shooting at people trying to evacuate to safe zones, provoking attacks from safe zones. Should a terrorist organization get a free pass for committing atrocities because they use their own population as human shields? I understand the desire to call for an immediate cease fire, believe me there is nothing I want more for the bloodshed and wars to stop, but I'm not sure you understand that since October 7th Israelis (not just the Jews) are living in fear. We put on a brave angry face for the international media, but we're a small country, we all heard first hand testimonies of what happened, we all saw the horrible videos the Hamas terrorists gleefully shared on social media as the massacre was happening, helpless to do anything as more and more light was shed on the depth of the brutality and sadism involved. Children all over Israel are afraid of sleeping in their own beds, women are terrified to go out of the house after seeing what befell the young women victimized by the Hamas perpetrators. This is what we're fighting for in Gaza, for the de-throning of a terrorist organization that committed atrocities against us, and that promised to do so again and again if given the chance, for our own safety. When you call for Israel to have a ceasefire without calling Hamas to surrender and release the Israeli hostages they are holding, you are basically asking Israel to favor the lives of citizens of an enemy state (unfortunately Hamas is governing Gaza) over the lives of their own citizens. I understand the desire for it, I really do, but it's a pretty tall order for any country. This isn't America or Australia sending troops to Iraq to fight a war that has no bearing on the everyday lives of these countries' citizens, this is a country fighting a war to restore the sense of security of its own citizens.
I'm sorry that you're living in fear. I think the people being bombed daily are also living in fear, for what that's worth to you. No one is 'calling on' Hamas to surrender for the same reason that people outraged at the thousands of civilian deaths in the Middle East didn't 'call on' ISIS to surrender while protesting drone strikes. Hamas has no diplomatic relations with western governing bodies and are not being actively supplied with weaponry and diplomatic support by said governing bodies. The call for a ceasefire is because innocent people are actively being slaughtered en masse by a military force that does have diplomatic relations with western governing bodies and is actively being supplied with weaponry and diplomatic support by them. Those outraged over the atomic bomb didn't excuse the crimes of Imperial Japan or think WWII didn't need to end; those outraged over the Mai Lai Massacre did not excuse the crimes of the Viet Cong. This is no different.
I understand your sympathies for Gazans, but the IDF has the man power for ground invasions to not kill entire families. The human shield argument is hurtful, they didn't choose to be in this war, and even kind people like yourself are trying to justify their deaths, because there's a small chance a terrorist is beneath a hospital.

Weekly planet on the right side of history per usual
Except for James giving Batman vs Superman a "Best Movie Ever"
.....and the covid stuff it turns out
@@MrTwon1610idk what there take was on covid but if they said get vaccinated they were on the right side of history again. If I have to explain that to you then your head is empty
@@MrTwon1610 my aunt didn't get vaccinated and my uncle did. She died he didn't. Over 1 million deaths in america from covid. Still waiting for those vaccines to turn everyone gay or whatever you guys thought would happen
@@reedraikes7471 James literally screamed for viewers to get vaccinated and he said if anyone wanted to whine in the comments that they were leaving the channel because he was pro-vax that they could kick rocks. It was epic as hell.
@@benphillips2947 based weekly planet as usual
I always knew you two were real gs
Hot take Jackie Chan's karate kid movie is really underrated- the kung fu and philosophy is portrayed really well and jackie and jaiden smith are both really good. Also in kung fu panda he's monkey
Mmmm...Monke.
yea i like karate kid it was the coolest shit when i was a kid
If your not a stickler for historical accuracy or dialog this movie is pretty cool.
Love you boys. Represent. ✊🥰🇦🇺
wow you guys made my day with that reasonable and humane take on the gaza nightmare
I love how these big revolutionary moments were depicted as a back and forth, then a monologue ripping someone to pieces and then everyone charged at them in rage
My first comic (at the age of 6) was Tomb of Dracula #13!
I assume there is a French production of a Napoleon biopic that isn’t insulting to historians..?
I know Kubrick was obsessed with a Napoleon film.
Maybe an English language adaptation of a famous Frenchman’s life is just unnecessary
The Duellists is great! Very Barry Lyndon-esque.
The title is the greatest thing in the history of the universe.
Aw yay!!! I was like 'I want them to do the Stevie Wonder birthday song, but they prolly don't know it-'
AND THEN THEY DID IT!! 😂 So happy!

"is Shrek 2 okay?" 💀💀
I can't tell if that guy is in a movie called Big Train, or if they're riffing on the movie Bullet Train which features a big train
James like Star wars has always been political, you were just too young to get it.
Thank you for standing against gen0cide at a time where its controversial to do so
I don’t know about this Napoleon movie. I probably would’ve changed some things. Maybe rewrite which battles he won and lost. One thing in particular is not let him lose the Waterloo battle.
It's actually the movie Joker.
I for one, am outraged that these lads would adopt such a controversial political stance as "Human children don't deserved to be carpet bombed"
So woke smh.
That sums it up pretty well.
No matter what anyone believes,
We should all quickly agree that killing innocent children is wrong.
In Theory that is,
In reality though we live in a truly sick world.
Haha the pathetic, woke, "children shouldn't be massacred" position
@Henez89 it's hard to really tell the tone of your comment. Could be sarcastic, could be genuine. Everything sucks
@@chrisfoye1574 I'm choosing sarcasm.
But I'm wrong most of the times that I'm expecting positive things .
It was sarcasm, but I concede that you really can't be sure when you read that, and that is depressing

Has anyone seen the new netflix show "blue eye samurai"? I bet the guy who knows everything about anime, knows everything about this show
Watch the righteous gemstones. It’s worth it
30 seconds into the episode and I already know history nerds are fuming

What connects Ridley Scott and his new movie with...
Time Bandits?
Answer 》》》》》》》》》》》》
Ian Holm (Alien / Napoleon in TB)
Napoleon Biopic. No mention of Bill and Ted, no San Dimas Mall. Disgraceful.
Has Mason been eating for every episode and I’ve just noticed? Very unprofessional…
Maybe not all, but many of them. Favourite moment is when James is like "vampires don't have..." and Maso goes "working dicksh?" while eating something
Awww you ok lil buddy? Do you need an adult?
The Duelists is Sofa King good.
what a flawlessly simple and on point take on what’s happening to Palestine. it’s been wild to watch so many supposedly Leftist content creators both-sides this obvious genocide or just avoid the topic all together. always pleasantly surprised to hear this upbeat pop culture podcast more consistently anti-colonist than more overtly political content creators.
I feel like the real assholes were the assholes we met on the way...
As someone familiar with the history, i cannot express how disappointing this movie was. It's weirdly vindictive, the inaccuracies are absolutely everywhere, and Ridley Scott's attitude towards the history is really telling.
The best Napoleon movie is the two-part video by Oversimplified.
He was definitely average height for the time.
What amazes me about the people calling for people like Melissa to be cancelled is this assumption of a Jewish Hive Mind or Arab Hive Mind.
Also I *do* condemn Hummus
Karate Kid will be...🥁 Peter Dinklage

Nick Hoult could probably look like a bald man, maybe his version of Lex has spray painted teeth
Rodney!
Lucasfilm has the story group. Which is there to make sure everything fits and doesn’t break canon
Longtime listener, first time poster -- MORE SAXOPHONE SOLOS.
The reason the studio wanted less John Goodman in Kong Skull Island was because Legendary is chinese owned, so they didn’t know who he was, on top of the tradition of those studios to favour young stars. This is also why Jing Tian was so shoe-horned into the movie, she became really popular in chinese tv the years prior
It was wild when Napoleon got gutted by RODNEEEEEY
Nicholas Hoult was young Beast
That's the joke.
Sorry, this turned out longer than I expected, I hope you guys read it regardless, but just know I have tremendous respect for you even if we disagree.
I'll start by saying a few things:
1. I love you guys and the podcast, and have been a long time listener.
2. I am Israeli, and I was in Israel on the October 7th attack. I know people who were murdered, brutalized and kidnapped (including toddlers and a baby).
3. I think the death of civilians and widespread destruction happening in Gaza is tragic and heartbreaking. No one, especially children should ever die in warfare or endure such conditions.
So on to what I actually wanted to say:
I agree that the firing of Melissa Barrera was entirely uncalled for, showing sympathy to human suffering should never be punished, no matter what your politics are. I hope she finds other better projects (the Scream franchise has been running on fumes for a while).
That said, I do feel that there is a certain sentiment coming from the voices who call for a cease-fire (you guys as well) that pretty much absolves Hamas of any accountability. Yes, Israel is dropping bombs and leading attacks that result in civilian casualties, but that is greatly exacerbated by the fact that Hamas is using civilians as human shields, building their command centers in schools and hospitals, shooting at people trying to evacuate to safe zones, provoking attacks from safe zones. Should a terrorist organization get a free pass for committing atrocities because they use their own population as human shields?
I understand the desire to call for an immediate cease fire, believe me there is nothing I want more for the bloodshed and wars to stop, but I'm not sure you understand that since October 7th Israelis (not just the Jews) are living in fear. We put on a brave angry face for the international media, but we're a small country, we all heard first hand testimonies of what happened, we all saw the horrible videos the Hamas terrorists gleefully shared on social media as the massacre was happening, helpless to do anything as more and more light was shed on the depth of the brutality and sadism involved. Children all over Israel are afraid of sleeping in their own beds, women are terrified to go out of the house after seeing what befell the young women victimized by the Hamas perpetrators. This is what we're fighting for in Gaza, for the de-throning of a terrorist organization that committed atrocities against us, and that promised to do so again and again if given the chance, for our own safety.
When you call for Israel to have a ceasefire without calling Hamas to surrender and release the Israeli hostages they are holding, you are basically asking Israel to favor the lives of citizens of an enemy state (unfortunately Hamas is governing Gaza) over the lives of their own citizens. I understand the desire for it, I really do, but it's a pretty tall order for any country. This isn't America or Australia sending troops to Iraq to fight a war that has no bearing on the everyday lives of these countries' citizens, this is a country fighting a war to restore the sense of security of its own citizens.
I understand you're scared, but obviously Hamas is a bad thing. That doesn't change the fact that Palestinian women and children are in danger too.
I'm sorry that you're living in fear. I think the people being bombed daily are also living in fear, for what that's worth to you.
No one is 'calling on' Hamas to surrender for the same reason that people outraged at the thousands of civilian deaths in the Middle East didn't 'call on' ISIS to surrender while protesting drone strikes.
Hamas has no diplomatic relations with western governing bodies and are not being actively supplied with weaponry and diplomatic support by said governing bodies.
The call for a ceasefire is because innocent people are actively being slaughtered en masse by a military force that does have diplomatic relations with western governing bodies and is actively being supplied with weaponry and diplomatic support by them.
Those outraged over the atomic bomb didn't excuse the crimes of Imperial Japan or think WWII didn't need to end; those outraged over the Mai Lai Massacre did not excuse the crimes of the Viet Cong. This is no different.
I understand your sympathies for Gazans, but the IDF has the man power for ground invasions to not kill entire families. The human shield argument is hurtful, they didn't choose to be in this war, and even kind people like yourself are trying to justify their deaths, because there's a small chance a terrorist is beneath a hospital.
The word you were looking for, James, was “marksman”.👍
I honestly did not expect this podcast to get political, but that's how bad things in Gaza are
First 20 minutes too
