The Weekly Planet

Before there was Max Fury Road there was two other Mad Max movies and then the original Mad Max movie from 1979. The directorial debut of George Miller and the first feature film from Melvin Gibson it gave the Australian film industry the kick in the arse it needed with it's influence the world over still being felt today. Crazy stunts, insane (or mad) performances and more Victorian Country Roads...

Another week another movie about a giant lizard fighting a giant monkey but then those two team up to fight a different giant monkey. Tale as old as time. But before we review Godzilla x Kong we have to talk the news of the week including Star Trek 4 maybe happening again, a Ghostbusters animated series, Pirates of the Caribbean is getting a reboot, Thunderbolts get a title change, the MCU Fantast...

We're going back to where it all began, the original King Kong movie from 1933. It's influence is still felt to this very day with it's unique story, amazing use of stop motion coupled with rear projection and a symphonic score to accompany the iconic imagery. It's easy to see why it became an instant classic and remains relevant in the year 2024. Thanks for watching SUBSCRIBE HERE ►► http://goo.g...

James' greatest enemy, Ghostbusters, has returned in the form of a Frozen Empire. But is it more of the same or something new for the Sony Ghost Corps Ghostbusters IP/content farm? Before that though we talk the news of the week with some big Disney business drama, the future of AI in film along with the Late Night with The Devil controversy, Teen Titans getting a DCU entry, the potential next Ja...

It seems unlikely that the creators behind the 1954 original Japanese Godzilla movie could anticipated it not only remaining culturally relevant at least 70 years but also would eventually feature Godzilla and King King (sans metal gauntlet) travelling into the hollow earth to fight a race of giant orang utans or whatever happens in Godzilla V Kong. And yet here we are. Anyways, lets all take a lo...

It's an incredible time to be a fan of a franchise and then have that franchise get a movie a long time after the first movie. That's right, we're talking the best and worst legacy sequels covering Star Wars, Terminator, Tron, Dumb & Dumber and far too many more. We also talk the news of the week including a delay for The Batman 2, X-Men '97 head writer gets first, a trailer for The Crow reboo...

After the success of Ghostbusters 1984 but before the mediocrity of Ghostbusters 2 there was The REAL Ghostbusters, an animated childrens show that aimed to keep the series alive. And also sell toys to children. The story behind it's creation is facinating unlike the show itself which is not great.

In 2005 we finally were treated to a follow up to The Mask Of Zorro with The Legend Of Zorro. Antonio Banderas is back as Alejandro de la Vega along with Catherine Zeta Jones this time going up against Rufus Sewell. Whilst not reaching the heights either critically or financially of the 1998 original it's still got a bunch of great Zorroing in it and that's fun. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of...

In 2010 Hollywood attempted the impossible, a direct live action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Turns out. It was impossible. With many considering this to be M. Night Shyamalan's worst directorial effort by a long way putting a stop to any potential sequel or new live action adaptation until recently.
