I liked that Dr Mikey Morbius was able to get a cargo ship with a full length mirror in the engine room. So that he could gaze at himself in case his experiment made him buff.
The Sony villains motivations are crap, even in No Way Home. Sandman : " Peter I'm so glad its you, we gotta help each out" Spiderman: "Agreed" Hobgoblin: " But let's be evil!" Sandman : " Sounds Logical, let's kill Peter"
I think it was Jenny Nicholson on twitter who said she expect the fantastic beasts cast to slowly be ship of theseus style swapped out one major character at a time until no one from the first movie is still there
I went through a terrible break up yesterday and James got me to genuinely smile and laugh for the first time when he said he would remove himself from the situation while talking about the Will Smith stuff and I bursted out in tears at work, love you mates keep making me smile please!
It's weird how WB also got Ezra to act as a different version of the Flash from an alternate universe. Couldve easily just cast another actor for that role as a contingency and make him the new Flash for future movies if they wanna get rid of Ezra. Because the video of Ezra choking the woman came out before the The Flash even started filming so WB knew there was a lot of red flags with him already.
Ezra is the reason I am skipping the Flash movie. I cant stand his acting, it is so terrible. The controversy helped convince me to skip the movie too. I dont know too many super heroes that hit women lol.
The fact that nothing has been delt for a year in the Miller situation is terrifying. The movie has been delayed for so long, they had plenty of time to recast. It's so scary that he was given this much time to get to the point of threatening a nice couple, aghh it's horrible.
I agree. Maybe if WB had said something then maybe they would have gotten some help for whatever is going on if its to do with mental illness. Or maybe someone else who didn't beat up random people would be playing the flash. The world is full of good actors, I don't know why hollywood clings to the ones who do scummy things. Fame sells tickets but surely there's a point where the bad press hinders sales, right?
@@hcstubbs3290 Not if they muffle it. That's one of the reasons why he was able to get to this point. The last time this happened, the story barely made it out there, and WB kept their mouth shut. No actions. "Just keep quiet and move on so we can keep making our money."
@@RavenTheVelociraptor I mean, Amber Heard came back for the Snyder cut. WB doesn't seem to give a shit. Which worked out excellently for James Gunn, not at all for Miller.
@@hcstubbs3290 I'm talking about public backlash/outcry, not the morality of what these people have done. Most companies (ie Disney) drastically overreact when things start getting heated on social media. Case in point, James Gunn. So it's surprising to see WB go the opposite way, although in classic WB fashion they managed to fuck even that up.

Disappointing that mason was seemingly justifying Will smith’s actions by saying Chris rock was mocking his wife’s physical features, which isn’t really the case. He didn’t point at her head and go “haha baldy”. He compared to g.i Jane. The joke was incredibly tame, whether she has alopecia or not. Will Smith is a loser for hitting the comedian on stage telling jokes, but also for the fact that after he slapped him he just walked back to his seat. He knew Chris rock wouldn’t do anything back. He knew he had about 5 inches in height and 40lbs on him too. Embarrassing display.
No, he was directly mocking her for being bald, that's literally what the joke hinges on. But yeah, I agree that Will Smith embarrassed himself by reacting the way he did.
@@extremetoast5723 her being completely bald is most likely a personal choice of hers though. I know several people with alopecia, and none of them are completely bald. Honestly, the joke wasn’t about her alopecia at all, it’s the fact that she has a buzzcut looking haircut from where he is standing and that’s the haircut in gi Jane. I know someone very close to me with alopecia and she honestly would’ve laughed if somebody said that to her.
@@ethanfranzen6145 But the reason she has the hair buzzed _is_ the Alopecia, there just is no denying that, so it's really spitting hairs (pun intended) when you say it's not about the condition, it's about the results of the condition. If she had no hair because of Chemotherapy and he made the same joke it would have been thought of as mean spirited, and he'd have never have gone there. Smith was in the wrong of course, and it's not Rock's fault that he didn't know she had the condition (she really only started talking openly about it recently), but the reason Rock apologized is he was making fun of someone's disease even if he didn't know it.
There is no denying he was making fun of her lack of hair, the fact that he didn't know the cause of it doesn't really make the joke better, it only makes Rock not look like a dickhead. To understand, imagine if she had chemotherapy and Rock made the same joke? So it's not that the joke was tame or not, it's that Rock (who's previous jokes had just bombed) was looking for a way out and made what is a pretty bad, unfunny joke even _if_ Pinket-Smith didn't have a condition. Smith is an idiot for his reaction, and I imagine there's clearly some other stuff going on in his head, but life isn't a zero sum game and two things can be correct at the same time: 1) It was a tasteless joke that really could have been hurtful and 2) Smith greatly overreacted.

Spoiler question - Why would Vulture think it was about Spider-Man? Based on what? The last time he saw him he was like 15; why would that Spider-Man be responsible for him switching universes? Does the Spider-Man in that universe rip a hole in reality as well? When vulture said that, wouldn't Morbius say, 'Who is Spider-Man?' I am so confused.
I have been trying to puzzle those credit scenes out since I left the theater. So… The first thing vulture does after BEING TRANSPLANTED TO ANOTHER FREAKING UNIVERSE is make a joke about prison food and magically conjure up a new vulture suit. Then he decides he wants to team up with a guy he doesn’t know to fight a Spider-Man they never met? Remember when vulture didn’t hate Spider-Man and was a devoted family man? Like, What?

@@hollandscottthomas I didn’t vote once and its still on the list. the fact that you’d compare the new billion dollar Spiderman movie to streaming fodder like The Snydercut and AoTD, tells us everything about the mental gymnastics snyderbros have to pull off just to get through each day. 🤣🤯

Morbius is the best thing to happen to cinema since The Godfather. It’s honestly a perfect movie that only comes once, maybe twice in a generation. One hundred years from now film schools will have entire courses dedicated to analyzing the genius of Morbius. We are truly witnessing film history. Next year Morbius is going to win literally every Oscar category, even the ones it doesn’t qualify for, it’s just THAT good.
I really wish Sony would lose their spiderman stranglehold. Back when homecoming first came out there was a glimmer of hope that things might be on the up, but it’s clear Sony is just gonna keep doing Sony.
I really thought "The Power of the Dog" was a movie about a dog, where his powers are slowly revealed overtime and... now that I know it isnt real, I need to make this movie.
I have also been watching that channel with the Prince of Persia Retrospective! His videos are great, definitely check out the one about Jade Empire when you can.
30:35 just add Timothy dalton’s line from Hot Fuzz when he says “this really hurts, I’m going to need some ice cream” in reference to the scale model of a church pierced through the bottom of his mouth
Institutionally, I don't think the Oscars know who the winners will be until the envelopes are opened (and they're held by Price-Waterhouse, the accounting firm). The reason for this is how badly the Oscars f*cked up the Best Actor award last year, putting it last (where it has never, ever been before) out of absolute certainty that Chadwick Boseman would win and this would be a huge dramatic moment to end the show on. And then, as we all now know, BOOM, Anthony Hopkins wins, he's not even in the audience to receive the damned thing, and the show's stuck with a big, flat nothing of an ending. But, if they had known Hopkins was one of the winners that evening, there's ZERO chance they end with Best Actor. So, while that was a disaster, it did seem to attest to the Oscars being completely unaware of who the winners would be until announced on stage. / see also the MOONLIGHT fiasco...
All true, but Smith was the favorite, so let's just say it was probably a very odd situation to say the least. It's unlikely they had a contingency plan for the best actor favorite walking on stage and slapping someone. ;)
RUclips has decided that I love hearing Maseau talk about his attendance of Do Go On and autoplayed this from the pod episode that came out this week (at time of comment). Hope it went well and James had fun as a special guest! ;)
A way they could get people to watch The Oscars again is to copy The Game Awards and stuff it full of trailers and announcements (and essentially adverts) 'cos that's the only reason people watch TGA lol
That’s a good idea, they could also have special interviews with artists there about their upcoming/past movies or set up short discussions between, say, Hollywood’s hottest horror directors to hear their takes on the genre. Something that you would want to watch instead of just look up the results of later. They’ve got all these famous people in one place and they just film them sitting in a room all night
I rarely comment because they usually go unnoticed, BUT I believe they should make the Sony-verse Andrew Garfield’s universe. Maybe in the Venom 2 post-credit scene, Venom is intrigued by Tom Holland Spider-Man because he’s sorta familiar with a Spider-Man in NY but unfamiliar with their secret identity. In the NWH post-credit scene, Eddie Brock isn’t outright confused by Spider-Man’s existence but the existence of so many superheroes in general. Sony should also rate these movies R. Morbius and Venom could be as violent as they need to be, and we could get an ASM3 where we get an Andrew Garfield after NWH with flashbacks from before when he stopped pulling his punches. Nothing outwardly violent because it still is Spider-Man, but scenes of him drawing blood and going too far could be interesting.
The first act of morbius is good. Him struggling with his disease and than him struggling to control his new powers. The murder mystery I liked. He had a clock of what would happened when the cure would stop working but they never really explored that.
I thought 'The Bubble' started off pretty fun, but runs out of steam after about an hour, I didn't manage to finish it and now it will sit forever in my Netflix Continue Watching list along with Red Notice, Don't Look Up and various other things that promised much but didn't deliver.
Saw the movie, it was such an incoherent mess. Sony cannot make movies, it seems their executives cannot remove themselves from the process and its always ends up as a failure.
It's the most cynical kind of film making. Other companies might make bad movies (or movies I don't like anyway), but I don't question their intentions. Sony feels a bit like the Activision Blizzard King of movie makers, where they have all this great IP but they would rather try and wring every dollar out of it for the least effort possible like a Candy Crush game rather than make a good movie. Clearly they feel the pattern of cutting the movie to 90 minutes and add some MCU adjacent end credit scenes is something they feel works. I honestly feel badly for everyone associated with the movie, Leto was actually pretty good and Matt Smith was great, yet this movie will bounce out of theaters in 4 weeks with 80M in revenue and will be seen as a failure.
The wings do NOT look like the ones from Webb movies, TASM fans are just high on copium after NWH. Oscorp wings were way smaller, did not feature any circular lights and there was no helmet. Here Keaton wears basically the same tech as in Homecoming with slight alterations, just enough to show it's not literally the same but not more. It's kinda like how MCU updates characters' costumes for new toys in each flick. Helmet is near identical, just more angular and recolored, giant blue wings lights are present but yellow, the size of the wings is still massive. It has nothing to do with TASM. The only way it could be tied is through even more unpredictable Sony bullshit, but to anyone sane it should be obvious those two sets of wings are different
You see, the problem for me, a person who doesn't really watch films, is that this "Snake Eyes" review riff is pushing me ever so slowly into watching Snake Eyes. I rely on you guys, I want to watch "The Batman, Another Batman Starring Robbat Batten Bat", and I've managed to avoid spoilers (not bad eh? It turns out that the best way to avoid spoilers is not be on social media because your personality disorder goes into overdrive for some reason) and I've put that episode on a little list I keep tucked away, it has "The Batman, Another Batman In A Different Universe From The Other Batmen" and "Dune" episodes on it so far. I DON'T want to watch "Snake Eyes", I really don't, but I do want to know what is going on in that film and I worry that instead of watching "The Batman, There's Loads Of Batmen Isn't There? And A Batgirl, This Is A New Batman, Cor That Car Looks Ace", I will watch "Snake Eyes" whilst doing the ironing and it will be another six months before I can watch a film (n.b. I don't do my ironing only once every eight months, sometimes I watch a film whilst doing it, sometimes I listen to podcasts about murderers or fraudsters or Acid House or I do it in a sort of trance listening to Techno) because I don't know how to actually, you know, switch off and sit down and shut the fuck up, you know? Please watch the film and tell me what happens in it, I will even sort my head out enough to re-subscribe to The Large Buttie again.
I'm still confused as to why Bruce Willis would act like he hated acting so much. To my understanding Aphasia is not a condition that worsens over time and depending on the severity speech therapy can help.
The Morbius post-credits thing is just so damn funny to me, because Sony is so clearly thirsty for that MCU cash, and NO ONE is having it. Not Kevin Feige, not Disney, not MCU fans, not anyone. Just Sony blatantly going "Heyyyyyy guys. I hear you like the MCU. Well, guess what we've got."
I remember playing PoP games like my life was depending on it. After Two Thones, the franchise faded out like a star and I was really sad because of that... My favorite one was WW because of the Soundtrack and scary Dahaka moments. Wish they stopped milking AC series and bring us that PoP game like how they were supposed to do at the beggining.
I grew up reading the 90s comics where he was always teaming up with Ghost Rider and Blade and after watching it last night I liked it. Very clearly had stuff edited and cut in the two years since the first trailers dropped but it wasn't the incoherent mess I was led to believe it was.

I love Mark Kermode's take on Morbius:
'Not only is Jared Leto not the greatest actor in the world, he's not even the greatest Jared in Morbius'

Does the Spider-Man in that universe rip a hole in reality as well? When vulture said that, wouldn't Morbius say, 'Who is Spider-Man?' I am so confused.

After he gets his speech from Marcellus, Butch is at the bar when Jules and Vincent come in in their post-cleanup volleyball gear. Jules goes over to Marcellus and Vincent goes to the bar and has a briefly tense exchange with Butch. Vincent gets a pack of Apples handed to him, Butch has to pay for his - a small detail to show their respective standing in Marcellus' organization.
*Butch not Dutch
Only the snyderbros are crazy enough to vote 300 times a piece and still convince themselves it’s a “popular” choice 😂
"But you Marvel fanboys didn't do it, ergo we win."
Okay, mate. Very cool.
@@hollandscottthomas I didn’t vote once and its still on the list. the fact that you’d compare the new billion dollar Spiderman movie to streaming fodder like The Snydercut and AoTD, tells us everything about the mental gymnastics snyderbros have to pull off just to get through each day. 🤣🤯
@@hollandscottthomas also dude, don’t use quotes if it’s not a quote, because then you just admit that you’re hearing voices in your head that only seem to piss you off. 🤨
@@sirdaveysockrocker You seem to have completely misinterpreted my use of airquotes here.
@@hollandscottthomas it's because you need to start the air quote with one hand and then use the other hand to complete the air quote after you've said the quote.
For reference, please listen to some episode of the Weekly Planet sometime ago.
Morbius is the best thing to happen to cinema since The Godfather. It’s honestly a perfect movie that only comes once, maybe twice in a generation. One hundred years from now film schools will have entire courses dedicated to analyzing the genius of Morbius. We are truly witnessing film history. Next year Morbius is going to win literally every Oscar category, even the ones it doesn’t qualify for, it’s just THAT good.
I really wish Sony would lose their spiderman stranglehold. Back when homecoming first came out there was a glimmer of hope that things might be on the up, but it’s clear Sony is just gonna keep doing Sony.
Happy Monthbius to each and everyone🎉
Happy and healthy Monthbius to you too!
Snake Eyes walked so Morbius could run 😎
1:03:30 for some reason I got "vulture and the chips" to the tune of "benny and the jets" in my head when he said this
Every time you guys mention that Do Go On show, I hear dugong (the animal) and am very confused for a minute
I really thought "The Power of the Dog" was a movie about a dog, where his powers are slowly revealed overtime and... now that I know it isnt real, I need to make this movie.
Monthbius is over. Long live monthbius
I have also been watching that channel with the Prince of Persia Retrospective! His videos are great, definitely check out the one about Jade Empire when you can.
"All 8 people in my cinema laughed" 🤣🤣
Cant wait for The Cronth (crow month)
Guys I normally enjoy all the preamble but darn it this is MONTHBIUS. Give the people what they want!
That post credit stuff sounds like the output of an AI that was fed every previous post credit marvel scene and told to create it's own.
30:35 just add Timothy dalton’s line from Hot Fuzz when he says “this really hurts, I’m going to need some ice cream” in reference to the scale model of a church pierced through the bottom of his mouth
Wow Weekly Planet has a pretty good take on the Oscar situation.
Institutionally, I don't think the Oscars know who the winners will be until the envelopes are opened (and they're held by Price-Waterhouse, the accounting firm). The reason for this is how badly the Oscars f*cked up the Best Actor award last year, putting it last (where it has never, ever been before) out of absolute certainty that Chadwick Boseman would win and this would be a huge dramatic moment to end the show on. And then, as we all now know, BOOM, Anthony Hopkins wins, he's not even in the audience to receive the damned thing, and the show's stuck with a big, flat nothing of an ending. But, if they had known Hopkins was one of the winners that evening, there's ZERO chance they end with Best Actor. So, while that was a disaster, it did seem to attest to the Oscars being completely unaware of who the winners would be until announced on stage.
/ see also the MOONLIGHT fiasco...
All true, but Smith was the favorite, so let's just say it was probably a very odd situation to say the least. It's unlikely they had a contingency plan for the best actor favorite walking on stage and slapping someone. ;)
RUclips has decided that I love hearing Maseau talk about his attendance of Do Go On and autoplayed this from the pod episode that came out this week (at time of comment). Hope it went well and James had fun as a special guest! ;)
I was talking to a coworker about Superhero movies. She claimed her "first Marvel movie was Morbious..."
Maybe the Spider-man in this universe is Silk, Spider-Gwen or Ben Reilly? Claim those too before Sony does.
I love James' refusal to take firm stances throughout this episode. Very professional podcast about red hot comic book movie news.
Oh my god. Your Power of the Dog bit just killed me.
A way they could get people to watch The Oscars again is to copy The Game Awards and stuff it full of trailers and announcements (and essentially adverts) 'cos that's the only reason people watch TGA lol
That’s a good idea, they could also have special interviews with artists there about their upcoming/past movies or set up short discussions between, say, Hollywood’s hottest horror directors to hear their takes on the genre. Something that you would want to watch instead of just look up the results of later. They’ve got all these famous people in one place and they just film them sitting in a room all night
Funny story - I used to work in a cinema and some of my colleagues would genuinely eat left over used popcorn! Gross...
it actually tastes alright once you've managed to unstick it from the carpet.
yess im so ready for Monthbius
39:00
Mr.S: “Name one thing I couldn’t eat without a spoon!”
N.M: Soup.

I rarely comment because they usually go unnoticed, BUT I believe they should make the Sony-verse Andrew Garfield’s universe. Maybe in the Venom 2 post-credit scene, Venom is intrigued by Tom Holland Spider-Man because he’s sorta familiar with a Spider-Man in NY but unfamiliar with their secret identity. In the NWH post-credit scene, Eddie Brock isn’t outright confused by Spider-Man’s existence but the existence of so many superheroes in general. Sony should also rate these movies R. Morbius and Venom could be as violent as they need to be, and we could get an ASM3 where we get an Andrew Garfield after NWH with flashbacks from before when he stopped pulling his punches. Nothing outwardly violent because it still is Spider-Man, but scenes of him drawing blood and going too far could be interesting.
I went and saw Morbius so I could listen to this week's podcast 🤣
Was watch/listening to this while eating sehri and this 1:03:20 part got me howling.
The first act of morbius is good. Him struggling with his disease and than him struggling to control his new powers. The murder mystery I liked.
He had a clock of what would happened when the cure would stop working but they never really explored that.
I thought 'The Bubble' started off pretty fun, but runs out of steam after about an hour, I didn't manage to finish it and now it will sit forever in my Netflix Continue Watching list along with Red Notice, Don't Look Up and various other things that promised much but didn't deliver.
ITS MONTHBIUS BABBYYY
Shout-out to Mason's glossed over and completely unappreciated Shrek/Shriek joke
Saw the movie, it was such an incoherent mess.
Sony cannot make movies, it seems their executives cannot remove themselves from the process and its always ends up as a failure.
It's the most cynical kind of film making. Other companies might make bad movies (or movies I don't like anyway), but I don't question their intentions. Sony feels a bit like the Activision Blizzard King of movie makers, where they have all this great IP but they would rather try and wring every dollar out of it for the least effort possible like a Candy Crush game rather than make a good movie. Clearly they feel the pattern of cutting the movie to 90 minutes and add some MCU adjacent end credit scenes is something they feel works. I honestly feel badly for everyone associated with the movie, Leto was actually pretty good and Matt Smith was great, yet this movie will bounce out of theaters in 4 weeks with 80M in revenue and will be seen as a failure.
The wings do NOT look like the ones from Webb movies, TASM fans are just high on copium after NWH. Oscorp wings were way smaller, did not feature any circular lights and there was no helmet. Here Keaton wears basically the same tech as in Homecoming with slight alterations, just enough to show it's not literally the same but not more. It's kinda like how MCU updates characters' costumes for new toys in each flick. Helmet is near identical, just more angular and recolored, giant blue wings lights are present but yellow, the size of the wings is still massive. It has nothing to do with TASM. The only way it could be tied is through even more unpredictable Sony bullshit, but to anyone sane it should be obvious those two sets of wings are different
Sam Jackson and Bruce Willis were in die hard 3 together
The smokey trail fx is because of Night Crawler in X2
You see, the problem for me, a person who doesn't really watch films, is that this "Snake Eyes" review riff is pushing me ever so slowly into watching Snake Eyes.
I rely on you guys, I want to watch "The Batman, Another Batman Starring Robbat Batten Bat", and I've managed to avoid spoilers (not bad eh? It turns out that the best way to avoid spoilers is not be on social media because your personality disorder goes into overdrive for some reason) and I've put that episode on a little list I keep tucked away, it has "The Batman, Another Batman In A Different Universe From The Other Batmen" and "Dune" episodes on it so far. I DON'T want to watch "Snake Eyes", I really don't, but I do want to know what is going on in that film and I worry that instead of watching "The Batman, There's Loads Of Batmen Isn't There? And A Batgirl, This Is A New Batman, Cor That Car Looks Ace", I will watch "Snake Eyes" whilst doing the ironing and it will be another six months before I can watch a film (n.b. I don't do my ironing only once every eight months, sometimes I watch a film whilst doing it, sometimes I listen to podcasts about murderers or fraudsters or Acid House or I do it in a sort of trance listening to Techno) because I don't know how to actually, you know, switch off and sit down and shut the fuck up, you know?
Please watch the film and tell me what happens in it, I will even sort my head out enough to re-subscribe to The Large Buttie again.
You guys are amazing
The Losers was definitely real. Saw it in theaters, liked it, then forgot it existed for about a decade.
Happy Monthbius everyone!
I kept hearing "Grandad Jim, you guys see you next week!"
I watched that prince of Persia video as well, so good
1:09:57 That’s how I feel about this current reality.
I'm still confused as to why Bruce Willis would act like he hated acting so much. To my understanding Aphasia is not a condition that worsens over time and depending on the severity speech therapy can help.
Everyone talks smack about this film, but I loved the scene with the giant light shooting into the sky.
The guys who wrote this movie wrote God's of Egypt AND DRACULA UNTOLD so of course the game was on
I need to move to Hollywood so that I too can fail upwards.
@@hollandscottthomas I don't know what type of movie they thought they get from those writers
The Morbius post-credits thing is just so damn funny to me, because Sony is so clearly thirsty for that MCU cash, and NO ONE is having it. Not Kevin Feige, not Disney, not MCU fans, not anyone. Just Sony blatantly going "Heyyyyyy guys. I hear you like the MCU. Well, guess what we've got."
When I was listening to the Morbius review I got an ad for curbside waste and recycling with just a photo of a big dumpster…
I remember playing PoP games like my life was depending on it. After Two Thones, the franchise faded out like a star and I was really sad because of that... My favorite one was WW because of the Soundtrack and scary Dahaka moments. Wish they stopped milking AC series and bring us that PoP game like how they were supposed to do at the beggining.
57:11 congratulations, you’re a prophet
Is there an address to send real letters to ?
I grew up reading the 90s comics where he was always teaming up with Ghost Rider and Blade and after watching it last night I liked it. Very clearly had stuff edited and cut in the two years since the first trailers dropped but it wasn't the incoherent mess I was led to believe it was.
I wasn’t gonna watch this whole video, but IT’S MONTHBIUS, I had to come back to celebrate
