Social media is bad. That’s what The Social Reckoning reckons anyways. We review that plus talk Zodiac the latest MCU streaming show and the first reactions to VisionQuest. With the Paramount swallowing up Warner Bros. situation confirmed we discuss the fallout including who’s fired and who’s hired and the state of the DCU and James Gunn’s role. Plus news concerning the halting of filming on The B

There are very few legacy sequels that match or potentially surpass the original, often they end up being tired retreads of what came before. Blade Runner 2049 is one of those few exceptions, coming 35 years later and helmed by Denis Villeneuve it reintroduces us to the ruined future with updated elements like more compliant Replicants, AI girlfriends, horrendous poverty and Harrison Ford in a t-s

The Weekly Planet returns the only way they know how, with another podcast. This week we discuss Tom Cruise’s latest film and attempt to finally win that Oscar, Digger. And boy is it a doozy of a movie and also a massive box office bomb. We also discuss the new scenes added to Avengers: Endgame Encore leading into Doomsday, the inevitable merger of Paramount and Warner Brothers, the cancellation o

In between Blade Runner, original Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049 there exists a movie positioned snugly in the middle, set in Ridley Scott's groundbreaking universe. 1998's Soldier, starring Kurt Russell and directed by Paul WS Anderson, was written by Blade Runner scribe David Webb Peoples and incorporates many elements from the 1982 original directed by Ridley Scott. It's mostly small visual

Welcome and hello! This week we discuss the long delayed and previously cancelled Coyote vs. ACME. We also take a look at the first image from the next Lord of the Rings movie, trailers for Ray Gunn, Clayface and Gremlins 3, a delay on Dynamic Duo and hot quick news covering Robert Pattinson's Batman entering the DCU, Godzilla Minus Zero being R rated, Daredevil cancelled and more! Thanks for list

It's impossible to list all the visual design elements, tropes and world building that Blade Runner had on popular culture upon its initial release in 1982. Despite bombing in a most spectacular fashion Ridley Scott managed to literally redefined the future of sci-fi despite the atrocious Harrison Ford/Rick Deckard's voice over. Here we look at the definitive version from 2007 that restores origin

RESIDENT EVIL. That's right we're back to talk the eighth movie (second reboot) of the video game to movie franchise this time directed by Zach Cregger of weapons fame. A lot of people are excited by that whilst some particular fans of the franchise are definitely not. We also discuss the poor reception of Zack Snyder's The Last Photograph and wanting to adapt The Dark Knight Returns, some Man of

Our long and winding tour down the Resident Evil road is coming to an end with The Final Chapter. Time to say goodbye to Milla Jovovich's Alice and the one or two other characters that they bothered to bring back in this sixth entry. The stakes have never been higher! The clock is ticking on the 27 people left on planet earth to release an anti-virus which would stop all the Resident Evil in its t

Okay so I think it’s time for another episode of The Weekly Planet podcast. We discuss the less than stellar reviews of Insomniac's latest superhero game Wolverine, Spider-Man: Brand New Day achieving the biggest US Box Office of all time, the cancellation of Spider-Noir but news of other Spider-Adjacent series in the works, more X-Men casting, trailers for Godzilla Minus Zero and Remain plus we r

We've been looking at the Paul WS Anderson/Milla Jovovich Resident Evil movies for what feels like one hundred million years. And it's a crying shame that all of us are coming to realise that these movies might not actually be good. In addition to Alice coming back as always we also get the return of Michelle Rodriguez, Colin Salmon and Oded Fehr characters confirmed long dead. PLUS the introducti

BOO. Sorry that wasn't okay. But what is okay is that we're talking the greatest jumping the shark moments from across tv and film. James Bond, Indiana Jones, Heroes, several others. We also talk Avengers: Doomsday filming before the script is finished, a weird Robin Hood rebrand for Andrew Garfield's new movie, Dave Bautista getting big again for God of War, Peter Cullen's final performance as Op

Oh no it looks as if the Resident Evil movies might be on the decline after the incredible (by Resident Evil movie standards) third entry. Paul WS Anderson finally returns as director for Afterlife, a movie that takes some elements from the previous movies (Alice clones, the character of Kmart, not being able to remember your memories) and hits the ground running in what many are describing as a m

Ridley Scott is back it again with his seven thousandth movie The Dog Stars! We review that and also talk his potential return to the Alien franchise. We also mourn the passing of Dolly Parton, Tim Curry and Peter Cullen, who will direct the next Batman movie in the DCU, a new live action Flintstones movie, Dan Stevens as RoboCop, an update on Days of Thunder 2 and more! Thanks for listening! New

The end of this third entry in the franchise officially marks the halfway point of our look at the six Milla Jovovich/Paul WS Anderson Resident Evil movies. And it might just be the highpoint of the series. Undead crows, dried out beef jerky desert zombies, a Mad Max setting plus the inclusion of both Claire Redfield and Albert Wesker, essential video game characters! These movies are good and wil

We’re back and more powerful than ever! This week we discuss al the big reveals from D23 including a new Avengers: Doomsday trailer, the Bluey movie, the new X-Men cast, trailers for Ashoka Season 2 and more! Plus we talk the unfortunate passing of Hayden Panettiere, AI use in Supergirl and Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Dave Bautista taking over as Kratos, The People v. Gorilla Grodd and the first ep

We are off and running with our look at the six Resident Evil movies! Well the six starring Milla Jovovich as Alice and either produced or directed by Paul WS Anderson. Second up is Resident Evil: Apocalypse the entry that is most closely tied and based on a specific video game from the series. Jill Valentine joins the team and we get the introduction of Nemesis, a big gross mutant guy with a secr

Unfortunately we recorded this a little bit before all the big reveals of D23 (new X-Men cast, trailers for Avengers: Doomsday and Vision Quest, Bluey the movie and also other things) but we still got to check out The End of Oak Street which answers the question "what if dinosaurs but also the 80s?" We also discuss the first ever official Star Wars/Marvel crossover, a bunch of DCU shows getting ca

On the eve of a brand new Resident Evil movie from director Zack Cregger we aim to achieve something heroes only dream of, taking a look at all six movies from the original series. Beginning with Resident Evil from 2002 it introduces us to a world seperate from that of the video games lead by Alice (Milla Jovovich) and directed by Paul WS Anderson whom would return for later entries in the franchi

In an unprecedented move, something we almost never do we’re returning to a topic we covered just over a month ago! Best and worst comic adaptations. Plus we talk the huge success of both Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Odyssey, the fallout from the failure of Supergirl, The Mandalorian VS Groglet and Moana live action, casting and recasting for the God of War TV series and Cyclops in the X-Men

It's a very upsetting time for us all having to revisited Space Jam 2. I mean sure it stars four times champion NBA superstar LeBron James plus the Looney Tunes plus every IP Warner Brothers has ever had their sweaty hands on (Game of Thrones, The Matrix, Gremlins, Harry Potter, Clockwork Orange, IT, Wonder Woman, Batman, Superman, The Joker, Rick & Morty, Mad Max etc). The result is a more Ready
