Space Jam: A New Legacy - Caravan Of Garbage
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
634 Spider-Man: Brand New Day
Is that the big movie alarm that I hear? It absolutely is because it turns out we've had one of the biggest movie openings of all time with Spider-Man: Brand New Day. We review all that (with spoiler free and spoiler sections) plus talk the new and frankly unsurprising Jared Leto allegations, the cancellation of Wonder Man, Blade, Booster Gold and the struggles of Fast & Furious 11, trailers
Looney Tunes: Back In Action - Caravan Of Garbage
Looney Tunes: Back In Action has been much requested since we covered the original Space Jam in 2021. And in the lead up to Coyote vs. Acme in 2026 and in the spirit of blending live action with 2D animation here we are. And oh my goodness this he Brendan Fraser we love him! It also has Bugs Bunny and we love him also! And it's got spies which we also love and Batman which we love and running

Who Framed Roger Rabbit - Caravan Of Garbage
Despite being released in 1988, Who Framed Roger Rabbit remains the pinnacle of blending 2D animation with live action photography. Set in Hollywood after World War II, it follows Detective Eddie Valiant as he unravels the murder mystery involving famed toon Roger Rabbit, his wife Jessica Rabbit, and the terrifying villain Judge Doom. It's also famous for bringing together, for the first time, Dis
632 The Odyssey! (big movie)
Big movie alert! It’s time for our review of Christopther Nolan’s The Odyssey, a movie which is defying the definitely real and genuine backlash already on its way to make a billion dollars. We also talk the passing of Sam Neil, casting rumours and confirmation for X-Men and Man of Tomorrow with the return of Blue Beetle, trailers highlighting the start of The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollu
Gods of Egypt - Caravan Of Garbage
The time of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is upon us. And to cap off our look at three inspirations of his 2026 epic we're going back ten years to 2016's Gods of Egypt. Directed by Alex Proyas the mind behind both The Crow and Dark City adapts, in the loosest of terms, ancient Egyptian mythology with some of the whitest people in entertainment. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage revie
631 Moana Bombs & Evil Dead Burn
Another Monday another incredible podcast. This week we talk the live action Moana with a live action Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson plus Evil Dead Burn.

Troy - Caravan Of Garbage
We continue our epic and cinematic journey towards Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey by taking a look at a second inspiration behind his adaptation. This time it's Troy from 2004 from director Wolfgang Peterson. Loosely based on Homer's Iliad and the story of the Trojan War it pits (pun intended) Brad Pitt's Achilles against Eric Bana's Hector, Orlando Blooms Paris against Brendan Gleeson's Menelaus

Joe adaptation, a trailer f
Jason and the Argonauts - Caravan Of Garbage
By way of Christopher Nolan, The Odyssey is hitting cinemas in July, an epic fantasy action bonanza based on Homer's Odyssey. Its use of scale and practical effects harken back to the movies and stories he grew up on, including this one, Jason and the Argonauts from 1963. Featuring groundbreaking effects from stopmotion and dynomation wizard Ray Harryhausen, he considers it the pinnacle of his wor
629 Supergirl!
The second movie entry in James Gunn's DCU is here, 2026's Supergirl starring Millie Alcock and it is not doing well at the box office and also people don't like it very much. We review that plus the annoucement of three new DC animated shows with Absolute Batman, Joker: Laugh Riot and Krypto, an influencer free start for Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, trailers for Batman gets his back broken a

That's right, we're taking a look at The Flash (2023), which aimed to be both a love letter to and the end of the Zack Snyder DC Universe, while also serving as an introduction to James Gunn's DCU. All your favourites are back: Michael Keaton, Ben Aff

The Supergirl TV Show (Extended) - Caravan Of Garbage
It's time to enter the universe of Earth-38, more commonly referred to as The Arrowverse. Amazingly we're haven't really covered much of this in Caravan Of Garbage and the Supergirl 2015 series seems a good a place as any. This version again sees the character of Kara Zor-El arrive from Krypton a little late to encounter a fully grown Superman and finds herself directionless despite having all t
627 More Spider-Man leaks & Disclosure Day!

CHARACTER. before Clark Kent decides to put on the suit. This time we're going to be covering the storyline of Kara Zor-El aka Supergirl as played by Laura Vandervoort introduced in Season 7.

A wonderful action adventure movie starring Bruce Willis, Milla Jovovich and Gary Oldman sporting three of the most insane hairstyles every commited to film. Wonderful special effects, great world building, action scenes that pack a punch all under the direction of a really crook bloke. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Ga
625 Backrooms & Spider-Noir
Welcome back everyone to a new episode of The Weekly Planet! This week we review two hot propeties that in a way have nothing in common, Backrooms and also Spider-Noir. We also discuss the passing of legandary editor Marcia Lucas, trouble for the Masters of the Universe 2026 adaptation, the return of AI Stan "The Man" Lee, the next movie from Obsession director Curry Barker and more! Thanks for
Starship Troopers - Caravan Of Garbage
It's absolutely bizarre that the first live action adaptation of Starship Troopers from director Paul Verhoeven bombed as badly as it did. Not only that but critics also seemed to have completely missed the not very subtle social commetary in relation to the rise of facism in western society. Now, for the most part I hope, people seem to know better and this movie is recognised for both its sati
624 The Mandalorian vs Groglet & The Boys Series Finale
Incredible week for both big movie and big tv show! That’s right, both The Mandalorian VS. Groglet and The Boys Season 5 finale have arrived to varying degrees of audience apathy. We review that plus talk the news of the week covering Peter Jackson potentially returning to Middle Earth to direct The Silmarillion, The Godfather gets a fourth movie, a new trailer for Lanterns and more!&nbs
Demolition Man - Caravan Of Garbage
Stallone, always on the hunt for the next action blockbuster, took a shot at sci-fi in 1993 with the release of Demolition Man. Set in the future of 1996 and then the future of 2032 it pits him against Wesley Snipes' Simon Phoenix having the absolute time of his life. And that's the whole movie real, just an absolute blast from the get go with somewhat accurate depictions of the future mixed in
623 The Punisher: One Last Kill
It's high time for another Weekly Planet podcast! This week we're talking the latest MCU Special Presentation The Punisher: One Last Kill, box office tracking for The Mandalorian vs Groglet & Masters of the Universe, Ahsoka Season 2 release date, the Voltron movie going straight to streaming, four Fast & Furious spin-off TV shows in the works, new details on the Lanterns DCU series and mo
Total Recall - Caravan Of Garbage
Over the next four weeks we're taking a trip through some classic 1990's science fiction films. An interesting era which still encorporated old school film making techniques like model work, stop motion and rear projection plus early computer generated imagery. This week it's the action classic Total Recall starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sharon Stone from director Paul Verhoeven not to be co
622 Daredevil, The Boys & Mortal Kombat 2

We also talk the news of the week including a Spider-Man MCU origin revelation, a snow first look at The Batman Part II, a new Planet of the Apes movie in the works and trailers for Evil Dead Burn and Chri
X-Men: The Last Stand REDUX - Caravan Of Garbage
The only logical solution to wrap up our look at the original X-Men trilogy is a updated re-release of our Caravan Of Garbage review from 2019. Sure Bryan Singer is now gone (for now) but luckily Brett "The Rat" Ratner has stepped in to take his place to conclude the stories of Wolverine, Gene Grey, Professor X, Magnet, Storm, Cyclops and many more characters that would continue to never die and
X2: X-Men United - Caravan Of Garbage
By 2003 superhero movies were well back in vogue. Sam Raimi's Spider-Man from 2002 had become a massive hit, a serious Batman reboot was in the works and of course we got the return of Bryan Singer's (yuck) X-Men franchise with X2: X-Men United. All your favourites are back! Storm, Cyclops, Ice Boy, Rogue, Magnet, Wheels, Gene Grey, all in support of whatever Hugh Jackman's Wolverine wants to do

Thanks
X-Men - Caravan Of Garbage
Cast your mind back to the year 2000. Okay great. And now think about the movie X-Men which introduced the world to the modern superhero movie with the likes of Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, Patrick Stewarts a bald guy, Ian McKellen as Magnet and Halle Berry as a much underused Storm. And with the likes of James Marsden coming back as Cyclops for Avengers: Doomsday in 2026 this decades old Marvel f
620 Clayface, Exit 8 & Michael Movie
It’s kind of hard to believe that it is yet again time for another Weekly Planet podcast. It’s even harder to believe we talk about the movie Exit 8 and also the Michael Jackson biopic. Plus we talk the news of the week which involves a new video game adaptation from Christopher McQuarrie and Michael B Jordan, the cancellation of Gen V, trailers for Clayface, the first DCU horror movie,
War of the Worlds (2025) - Caravan Of Garbage
All good things must come to an end, like for example our War of the Worlds retrospective. But at lease we're going out on the lowest of the lows, the 2025 but filmed in 2020 Ice Cube "screenlife" adaptation. Considered by many to be one of the worst movies ever made with such a bizarre and terrible execution it's kind of hard to stay focused on one thing at a time when talking about it. Thanks
619 Cinema Con Reveals & Lee Cronin's The Mummy
CinemaCon 2026 brings us news and footage from all the major studios most of which we are not allowed to see. We're talking Avengers: Doomsday and Spider-Man: Brand New Day plus trailers for The Mandalorian vs Groglet, Street Fighter & Godzilla Minus Zero, massive layoffs over at Disney and more!

War of the Worlds (2005) - Caravan Of Garbage
Aliens continue to be real on our journey through three very distinct War of the Worlds adaptations. This week it's the second collaboration between Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise after Minority Report, War of the Worlds 2005. Interesting premise and time, post 9/11, Tom Cruise in his weirdest (publicially) era and a director who'd made two exceptional extra terrestrial propeties prior to this.
618 The Drama & The Boys Final Season (so far)
The Boys are back in town. For their fifth and final season, we talk the first two episodes. Plus we review The Drama, the somewhat controversial A24 film starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson.

The War of the Worlds (1953) - Caravan Of Garbage
ALIENS ARE REAL. I mean, statistically the chances of there being life in an ever expanding universe is pretty much a lock. And to celebrate that and the return of Steven Spielberg to making an alien movie with Disclosure Day in 2026 we're going to take a look at three adaptations of the War of the Worlds, starting with the 1953 classic. An absolute astounding achievement in mode
617 The Super Mario Galaxy Movie & Supergirl Trailer
Nintendo and Illumination are back with their second animated feature, Super Mario Brothers 2 the Galaxy the movie. As with the last, this one looks to be a massive success despite an average reception. Plus we get into the Aragon recasting, a Dungeon Crawler Carl adaptation, the Scream 8 creative shake up and new trailers for Masters of the Universe and Supergirl. Thanks for listen
Ready Player One - Caravan Of Garbage
In our final entry in our "movies about video games that aren't based on video games" we take a look at the be all and end all entry defined by those very specific parametres, 2018's Ready Player One. In a future bogged down in nostelgia to the detriment of a crumbling society it's up to a group of plucky internet savy individuals to unlock the mystery of the Oasis, a Virtual Reality space where
616 Ready or Not 2/They Will Kill You & Trailers for Awful Remakes
It’s a great week for remakes of things that we’re already beloved that are now back in a seemingly worse way.

We also talk two very similar movies in Ready or Not 2 and They Will Kill You, a new voice cast announcement for Super Mario Galaxy, more Lord
Serenity - Caravan Of Garbage
Stop what you're doing everyone. It's time to continue our look at videos about video games that aren't actually based on video games. And you might be wondering what the movie Serenity for 2019 has to do with video games? It seems like some kind of beach side noir murder mystery starring a cigarette smoking Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway. And yes that is true but th
615 Project Hail Mary & Spider-Man: Brand New Day Trailer
This week we talk about the latest movie about a guy is trapped in space and he's lonely or whatever in Project Hail Mary, based on the book Project Hail Mary.

The Last Starfighter - Caravan Of Garbage
Video game movies are bigger than ever! But do you know what used to be bigger than video game movies? Movies about video games that aren't based on a real video game. We're taking a look at four starting with 1984's The Last Starfighter, on the surface a blatent Star Wars knock off (which it is) but a cut above all the other Star Wars crossovers. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage rev

612 Scream 7 & Paramount Wins Warner Bros

Return of the Jedi - Caravan Of Garbage
The anticipation for what was to be the final Star Wars film, Revenge/Return of the Jedi was at an absolute boiling point in 1983. What was to become of Han Solo? Would Luke Skywalker defeat Darth Vader and turn from the dark side? Will Princess Leia kill a giant peverted slug in a gold bikini? These questions and more were wrapped up at the end of the original trilogy which brings the Emperor

The Empire Strikes Back - Caravan Of Garbage
It's time to talk what many still consider the pinacle of Star Wars media, The Empire Strikes Back. Released three years after the first movie in 1980 it also came at a time when sequels were almost always inferior to the original. With the original trio of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia returning and George Lucas not directing but putting it all on the line to make this happen Empir

Wrath of the Titans - Caravan Of Garbage
Two years after the success of the Warner Brothers Clash of the Titans reboot Sam Worthington returned to the role of Perseus for WRATH of the Titans. This time around Zeus and Hades have to content with the fact they no longer posess the power they once had in addition to Ares the God of War releasing Kronos from the underworld. And that's pretty bad because he's a big walking volcano. Thanks
606 Avatar: Fire & Ash

Clash of the Titans - Caravan Of Garbage
In 2010 two things were big. 3D films and Sam Worthington, both a result of Avatar from 2009. And whilst that franchise continues on Clash of the Titans (which incorporates both) acts as a time capsule of that era of film making. Also acting as a reboot of the 1981 Ray Harryhausen original movie it pits Perseus, the son of Liam Neeson's Zeus, against the Gods of Olympus including Ralph Finnes Ha

The Lone Ranger - Caravan Of Garbage
In 2013 Disney were still looking for the next Pirates of the Caribbean so they thought, alright fine. Let's again get Johnny Depp in a dumb hat and have him run about balancing on stuff to a Hans Zimmer score in a movie directed by Gore Verbinski. Oh and I guess Armie Hammer can be there also. The result was The Lone Ranger a movie with a couple of cancelled guys and some spectacular action se
603 Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (with Dave Warneke)
This is the episode description. I write them when Mason wraps up the show because I don’t really need to pay attention. You can really tell if you listen that I’m barely paying attention. But I was paying attention when Dave Warneke popped by to talk Wake Up Dead Man! A Knives Out Mystery. Plus we discuss Avatar: Fire & Ash’s opening weekend, the original ending to Fast X, a Far Cry tv s
John Carter - Caravan Of Garbage
We're back with another huge Disney bomb! This time it's 2012's John Carter o̶f̶ ̶M̶a̶r̶s̶ which aimed to cash on the populatiry of Avatar, Star Wars, Pixar director Anrew Stanton, Taylor Kitsch, Edgar Rice Burroughs and big rad jumps. Unfortunately it would end up being a spectacular disaster that lost Disney at least 150 million dollars. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage reviewSUBS

Starting with 201

The Predator - Caravan Of Garbage
We've reached the end of the 20th Century Fox era of Predator movies, right before the Disney purchase in 2019. This particular entry had a lot going for it, the return of director Shane Black to the franchise, an R rating, solid cast, big budget and yet it's regarded as probably the worst movie in the franchise with the inclusion of a giant nine feet tall Predator and movie Autism as a superpowe

Predators - Caravan Of Garbage
After one sequel in 1990 and two lackluster Alien VS Predator movies Predators took the franchise back to its roots in 2010. We get the return of a rag tag group of lunatics, a jungle setting, a muddy showdown but also some additional elements that elevate this movie beyond what had been done in previous sequels.
