The Weekly Planet

In 2014 the most powerful people on earth (Hollywood) decided to bless us all with a reboot of the original RoboCop. Taking some cues for the 1987 classic it brough Joel Kinnerman into the title role of Alex Murphy in a effort to again revamp the classic series. With a steller cast including Michael Keaton, Michael K Williams, Jack Earl Haley, Abbie Cornish, Sam Jackson it certainly tries some thi...

It's a rare opportunity to talk about a movie a month after it's hit cinemas. Luckily we get that opportunity with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. Plus we talk the passing of Arleen Sorkin, Disney cancelling more stuff, baffled CEO's hit with more devestating strike news, more MCU delays, a new Box Office record, James Gunn cancelled again and more! Thanks for listening The Flash movi...

By RoboCop 3 the good people at Orion knew what kind of audience the franchise solely appealed to, children. This obviously wasn't true but for this final entry in the original RoboCop saga things take a PG turn with toned down violence, satire and the disapperence of Peter Weller for Robert John Burke. Sure he has a jet pack and a flame thrower now and there's a Japanese Cyborg ninja but none of...

A new Star Wars series has landed and let me tell you it's better than The Book Of Boba Fett but not as good as Andor we reckon. We talk the first couple of episodes then news trailers such as Zach Snyder's Rebel Moon, delays for the likes of Dune: Part 2 and Godzilla x Kong, the big winners and losers of the 2023 movie merchandise, a much anticipated Snake Eyes update and more! Thanks for listeni...

RoboCop 2 was inevitable after the succcess of the original. And you know what? It could have been much worse. With a more compotent cyborg enemy, some solid comedic moments and Peter Weller being at the top of his game in terms of RoboCop sequels this remains the best case scenario despite some obvious shortcomings. Thanks for watching! SUBSCRIBE HERE ►► http://goo.gl/pQ39jN Video Edition ► https...

Blue Beetle is finally in cinemas (except Australia) and it's bombing (except Australia). So instead of looking at that we're covering incredible and sometimes true Hollywood Urban Legends. Plus we talk news of Disney being sued but also suing someone, Hasbro launching a new entertainment division, a look at the Godzilla/Monsterverse TV series, details on Thor 5, rumors concerning an MCU reboot an...

The original RoboCop from 1987 is incredible. Directed by Paul Verhoeven and starring Peter Weller as the titular RoboCop/Alex Murphy it remains one of the best sci-fi films of all time. With its retro futuristic, satirical and hyper-violent aesthetic it truly is a one of a kind experience that will never be replicated. Despite RoboCop 2, RoboCop 3, the 2014 reboot, the two tv series, multiple gam...

Somehow Dracula has gotta on a boat and that's terrible news. We review all his antics from The Last Voyage of the Demeter plus Marvel VFX vote to unionise, Sonic 3 moves forward, Disney slows down on Marvel, no Wonder Woman 3 for Gal Gadot, Superman Legacy suit leak maybe, David Ayer's Suicide Squad returns, Blue Beetle is tracking slightly better, RIP William Friedkin, the future of Barbie/Matte...

Grand Admiral Thrawn will make his live action debut in Ashoka play again by Lars Mikkelsen. So in preperation for that we revisit the two part finale of Star Wars: Rebels Family Reunion and Farewell. Setting the scene with space whales, the disapperence of Ezra Bridger and Thrawn, Captain Rex on the Endor strike force and a time travel tree this series is considered some of the best Star Wars eve...

Thanks for listening! Visit bigsandwich.co for...

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2014 turned out to be the biggest box office hit from the length of the franchise so naturally the green light was given to it's 2016 sequel. This time we get all the things kids loved from the 1987 series, Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady, the Technodrome, Casey Jones and more! But it didn't land in the same way as the first.

In 2014 off the success of the Transformers franchise, Paramount and Nicolodeon decided to give him a shot at (producing) a brand new set of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies. This time adopting motion capture technology which allowed them to pay the actors next to nothing along with Megan Fox as April O'Niel this adventure is like nothing you've seen before! But really it's a lot of the stuff y...

It's Barbenheimer week everybody and you know what that means, reviews of both Barbie and Oppenheimer but not in that order. But there's plenty of news to get to before that including updates on the Writers/Actors strike, Aquaman 2 gets a third round of reshoots, He-Man scrapped at Netflix, trailers from The Marvels and Invincible Season 2, more DC animated movies including Watchmen, Spider-Man 2...

The Barbie movie could very well herald in a new era of toys to movie adaptations. But it is far from Mattels first attempt as there first swing was 1987's Masters Of The Universe featuring Dolph Lundgren as the titual He-Man. Opening with Skeletor now in posession of Castle Grayskull things have never looked worse for Eternia which is the perfect time He-Man and friends to take a trip to New Jers...

HOLLYWOOD IS OVER. And by that we mean actors have joined writers in solidarity by also commiting to a strike bring almost all productions to a complete standstill. We break all that down extensively plus Disney winding back Star Wars/Marvel streaming shows, Hugh Jackman's Wolverine gets his yellow suit, more casting for Superman Legacy, The Flash fails again in a different way, trailers ahoy for...

Ever seen a man reload his arms before? Well if you've seen Mission Impossible: Fallout from 2018 then you absolutely have. Considered by many to be the pinacle of the Mission Impossible series it sees Solomon Lane's villainous return along newcomer Henry Cavill. This one has it all but in a way that elevants the stunts, the masks, the fistfights, the rockclimbing. Thanks for watching our Caravan...

Disaster has struck the 2023 blockbuster season with now both Indiana Jones & The Dial Of Destiny and The Flash massively underperforming. But the good news is Mattel is moving ahead with 45 of it's toy propeties being developed into feature length films. We get into all that plus word on the latest Mission Impossible, Chronicles of Narnia return, an update on Shang Chi 2, Deadpool 3 rumours a...

A Rogue Nation? Seems irresponsible but alright. This time around as we continue on through the Mission Impossible saga Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt must do another big stunt, this time strapped to the side of a plane, and butt heads with a super secret evil spy force lead up by Sean Harris' Solomon Lane. With newcomver Rebecca Ferguson joining the crew there's a lot to like in this fifth entry which s...

In addition to our extended review of that we also talk the passing of Alan Arkin, The Boys season 4 gets delayed, Red Notice 2 is definitely happening, DCU casting with James Gunn’s Superman Legacy, another trailer for Dune Part 2, To...

Mission Impossible 4, the one where Tom Cruise climbs the building, is where things really kicked off in the long running franchise. Big stunts for real is now the name of the game along with new comers Jeremy Renner, Paula Patton and returning characters of Simon Peggs Benji and sort of Ving Rhames Luther. This movie has it all, masks, sandstorms, the Kremlin exploded, holographic hallways, an ok...

It's the end of the road. We've reached peak Indiana Jones in the 2008 sequel, coming 19 years after the last in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Harrison Ford is back older and wiser to rekindle his love with Marion, build a relationship with his awful son Mutt and find a glass skull or whatever. Look it might not be the best but it certainly has a lot of stuff in it. Thanks for watching our Caravan...

The DCEU is dead. After ten long and wonderful years beginning with Man Of Steel in 2013 The Flash is wrapping things up in absolute style. But before we get into that we talk the passing of John Romita Snr, more news of the writers strike, huge date changes for the MCU, Star Wars, Avatar and SPUMM, the first leaked look at Kraven, The Incredible Hulk arrives at Disney, Christopher Nolan is being...

We made it! The final movie before we can finally get to the good stuff. The Last Crusade goes deep into Indiana Jones lore with the adventure being shared with Henry Jones Senior played by Sean Connery. With the return of the Nazi's, a magical religious artifact, booby traps, an origin action sequence and tanks this one has it all. It's a great lead in to the fourth entry. Thanks for watching our...
