Baseless Speculation

Immediately distracted, JD cannot be trusted to look at a laptop when discussing Captain America: Brave New World. A film that used to be called New World Order but that big rat quickly backpaddled on that one. It seems the rat is trying really hard to not be political and avoid anything that could be seen as controversial but then accidently being political and creating their own controversies! I...

Remember that meme? Agatha? It was her all along! From the Scarlet Witch? Wanda?! Beloved by everyone for a week maybe? Then they announced the Agatha show? And we were all excited? Then they gave us a couple of different names for the TV show because aha! It was a trick and a marketing genius move and not at all reshuffling? Anyways, we got a trailer for it and it’s CSI: Witch for a bit until it’...

It shouldn’t be this hard to make a vampire movie and yet here we are. Join us in a brief trip down memory lane as we walk through the many ups and downs of the MCU doing their darndest to make a Blade film happen. So many stinky scripts that sucked, a period drama that didn’t have one (1) Blade and everyone except us wanting to forget Eternals happened. All we know is that Blade is the antithesis...

A new Hellboy movie is coming out and Jackson LOVES Hellboy! Unfortunately the trailer looks bad to not very good so our excitement for this film is barely there. On the bright side we won’t be disappointed if it’s bad but will be ecstatic if it’s enjoyable. The bar is low and we’re fine with that. So let us take you on a side journey about fat juicy holes, the recent history of getting slopped of...

After the whirlwind success of Patfleck’s The Batman, audience all over the world was clamouring for more! And we here at Baseless Speculation are no different (unless we said differently in the Based Reaction episode of The Batman, we cannot remember if we liked it or not)! The last time we had a think about Gotham, it was flooded and underwater and Paul Dano made a great face. Jackson also has a...

Last year Peter Weyland did a TED talk and now we’re here, watching the new trailer for Alien: Romulus. In space, no one can hear you suckin on a wolf titty. Which is a shame, as surely the wolf milk is what gave those twins the power to build the twin cities of Rome and Reme? Either way, we need to be funding more research into the power of wolf titty milk instead of spending all our hard earned...

The third instalment of the spectacular Venom franchise is nearly upon us! A small part in the much beloved Sony Spider-Man Cinematic Universe that is yet to feature a single Spider-Man! But at least they have vampire, bird, cat-guy and maybe Spider-Women? Although Madame Web might not be part of the SSCU now? It was just a cool thing that happened! Don’t worry about it! We’re not here to talk abo...

No one watched Furiosa even tho it’s good. You maniacs out there are gonna complain and complain about the absolute drivel that’s being slopped out by da movies yet when an absolute gem turns up you all have a little sleep and wait until it comes on channel 9 or whatever. You all loved Spider-Man walk through hole but now because of your reluctance to see a beautiful film you’ve not only made Geor...

Da minions are back baby! Hopefully with their famous catchphrase ‘banana’! We understand here at Baseless Speculation, we have a reputation of not liking hootin’ and hollerin’ films, but that all goes out da window when any minion comes across our field of vision. As far as we’re concerned, this gets the much coveted BS Hoot n Holler stamp of approval. If you’re reading this before enjoying the e...

The Garfield Movie is only a few short days away and the Baseless Boys are all over this like a rash on a rashed up cat! JD is off sick so we have our resident Garfield Maniac Adam Carnevale to bring his Garfield knowledge to our truely clueless but beautiful boys. They almost get caught off guard by thinking about Shawshank Redemption but never fear, because Adam is here to keep them on track! Su...

We promise you we don’t get off track. We’re not gonna lie, there was a wavering moment when Zammit remembered Michael Keaton was in Multiplicity but thankfully no one else had seen it or otherwise that would have been us for the episode. Then Jackson’s chair broke. In a regular episode that would have been it! But we made a promise! Hell or high water we’re gonna talk about Beetlejuice Beetlejuic...

Transformers is going back to it’s roots with an unnecessary origin story! Now with terrible animation! Are you a lowly mining robot? Do you long for more? Maybe you wish to be king of the robots and or a druid with the power of car? Well now you can! Transformers One! A beautiful tale of friends to lovers to bitter rivals to enemies to archnemesis or whatever! It’s the epic origin story of that t...

In what might be the quickest derailment of an episode yet, the boys misremember who directed Mortdecai and that was all it took. We had every intention of doing an episode on Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, but you must understand it got away from us. If you had to try and remember Mortdecai and what that movie was about, it would happen to you! We scoured our little brains trying to think what the plot...

Ryan Reynolds just dropped the trailer to Deadpool & Wolverine on YouTube and it’s already gotten 20 milly views in 24 hours, well on its way to make that sweet, sweet billy! So to celeblate we run through our theories about what’s going to happen in what will be this years most wonderful of films! How they get into the time bin? What Cassandra Nova want? She gonna go full Zazlav and delete th...

Joker: Folie a Deux, a sequel that has the chance of alienating fans of the first but luring those that had nothing but disdain for it has released a trailer and your boys are nothing if not topical! A brave and bold choice to follow up a segma male’s anthem with a jukebox musical. A brave and bold choice we respect. We do our best to remember the original film, try to figure out the big connectio...

Excelsior true believer! While Joel Duscher’s away the other two idiots will play! Zammit’s been reading about Marvel history and has come away with a very important finding. Sometime in the 90s we almost had a James Cameron directed X-Men film until Stan Lee wrecked it. You see, Stan Lee was a crazy man who loved Spider-Man and shouldn’t be invited to non-Spider-Man meetings (to his credit, he di...

Star Wars, a film series that historically has never once been political in any way, shape or form, has gone too far this time by hiring women? Non-whites? Goes against canon?? It’s hard to say. Fragile babies are upset and maybe gen-z think da prequels are better than the original series?? We don’t know. We also don’t know why a bison time travels. There’s a lot we don’t know to be perfectly hone...

Those little guys in our brains who control our every waking moment are back! And this time there's more! Be it cute boys, friend politics, a potential queer storyline that won't go anywhere, puberty is rough and Disney's Inside Out 2 is here to remind you just how terrible it was (or is, depending on your own personal timeline). The boys spend too much time working out how farms work,...

The bombs are falling and JD has gone on a sacred mission to stop them with his mighty fists so instead we have Guest Joel, Adam Carnevale from the hit podcast D&D is for Nerds and Beyond the Map ! The boys try to remember West World and can't refute any of Jackson's claims, get distracted by their own tangents and marvel at the man that is Walton Goggins. Adam, otherwise known as John...

We don't know why film studios are now fed on an exclusive diet of crab and prunes but we do know it makes em sleepy! With the recent announcments coming out of Marvel, we thought now would be a good time to explore some of the dangling plot threads and give a big think about which ones are going by the wayside. It's probably most of them but all of the Eternals. We imagine how it must fee...

Every movie is now Deadpool, Bad Boys or Guardians of the Galaxy and we're here to tell you that Borderlands is no different! What looks like a middling to adequate film has a surprising tumultuous production with directors giving up, writers joining 6 months after filming is wrapped and producers really wanting people to know some of their past hits! Zammit doesn't know what a Borderlands...

Truely an historical moment for the BS Boys as they gear up to talk about a film that no matter the success, guarentees a ticket to the zoo! If Deadpool & Wolverine cracks a cool billy the boys are off to the Melbourne Zoo on Duscher and Jackson's dime, but if Deadpool & Wolverine comes out to the fanfare of not making a billy then Zammit foots the bill. Zammit also made the claim he&#...

Da BS Boys are back in town! Back on Sanspants Radio AND our own bullshit! To celebrate such a wonderful occasion, we all went and saw the next installment of Sony's Spider-Man Cinematic Universe: Madame Web and now we're treating you all to a Based Reaction! It's full of spoilers but let's be honest, you don't care. You're not gonna watch it, so why not listen to three buf...

It's the final episode of Baseless Speculation for the year and what better way to celebrate than by reflecting on the state of movies in 2023 and predict what's going to happen in 2024. Plus, a big Ryan Gosling side bar as a treat for the listeners. What more could you want from a podcast? Baseless Speculation will return Feb 2024.

Another perfect episode of Baseless Speculation as the BS Boys dive incredibly deep into the weeks old trailer for the upcoming movie, Godzilla x Kong: A New Empire. There's a lot to unpack this week but i think the most important take away is that JD never ate that hot dog and that everyone is fine. We have ape fever!
