643 Digger & Avengers: Endgame Encore

The Weekly Planet returns the only way they know how, with another podcast. This week we discuss Tom Cruise’s latest film and attempt to finally win that Oscar, Digger. And boy is it a doozy of a movie and also a massive box office bomb. We also discuss the new scenes added to Avengers: Endgame Encore leading into Doomsday, the inevitable merger of Paramount and Warner Brothers, the cancellation of the Transformers/GI Joe crossover, a Spider-Man Clone Saga Amazon Prime series, a new VisionQuest and details on the next Star Wars Skywalker trilogy. Thanks for listening! James on a new episode…

Soldier - Caravan Of Garbage

In between Blade Runner, original Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049 there exists a movie positioned snugly in the middle, set in Ridley Scott's groundbreaking universe. 1998's Soldier, starring Kurt Russell and directed by Paul WS Anderson, was written by Blade Runner scribe David Webb Peoples and incorporates many elements from the 1982 original directed by Ridley Scott. It's mostly small visual cues and blink and you miss it easter eggs, but this is unmistakably supposed to take place after the origins events from 2019. None of it makes the movie better. Doesn't make it worse, though. But…

642 Coyote vs. ACME

Welcome and hello! This week we discuss the long delayed and previously cancelled Coyote vs. ACME. We also take a look at the first image from the next Lord of the Rings movie, trailers for Ray Gunn, Clayface and Gremlins 3, a delay on Dynamic Duo and hot quick news covering Robert Pattinson's Batman entering the DCU, Godzilla Minus Zero being R rated, Daredevil cancelled and more!

Blade Runner - Caravan Of Garbage

It's impossible to list all the visual design elements, tropes and world building that Blade Runner had on popular culture upon its initial release in 1982. Despite bombing in a most spectacular fashion Ridley Scott managed to literally redefined the future of sci-fi despite the atrocious Harrison Ford/Rick Deckard's voice over. Here we look at the definitive version from 2007 that restores original scenes, removes others including said voice over and changes the ending in a manner that completely alters the meaning of the entire film. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review and be…

641 Resident Evil 2026

RESIDENT EVIL. That's right we're back to talk the eighth movie (second reboot) of the video game to movie franchise this time directed by Zach Cregger of weapons fame. A lot of people are excited by that whilst some particular fans of the franchise are definitely not. We also discuss the poor reception of Zack Snyder's The Last Photograph and wanting to adapt The Dark Knight Returns, some Man of Tomorrow updates, the potential of Lanterns Season 2, weird unit Tom Cruise is on an absolute media tear the only way he knows how (being a normal man) and a whole lot more.

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter - Caravan Of Garbage

Our long and winding tour down the Resident Evil road is coming to an end with The Final Chapter. Time to say goodbye to Milla Jovovich's Alice and the one or two other characters that they bothered to bring back in this sixth entry. The stakes have never been higher! The clock is ticking on the 27 people left on planet earth to release an anti-virus which would stop all the Resident Evil in its tracks. And there's secrets to be revealed! Secrets that don't make any sense especially if you've been paying attention to any of these movies which we have sort of. Thanks for watching our Caravan…

640 Wolverine Disappoints & Runner (not The Runner)

Okay so I think it’s time for another episode of The Weekly Planet podcast. We discuss the less than stellar reviews of Insomniac's latest superhero game Wolverine, Spider-Man: Brand New Day achieving the biggest US Box Office of all time, the cancellation of Spider-Noir but news of other Spider-Adjacent series in the works, more X-Men casting, trailers for Godzilla Minus Zero and Remain plus we review Runner a real movie that came to cinemas and we liked it.

Resident Evil: Retribution - Caravan Of Garbage

We've been looking at the Paul WS Anderson/Milla Jovovich Resident Evil movies for what feels like one hundred million years. And it's a crying shame that all of us are coming to realise that these movies might not actually be good. In addition to Alice coming back as always we also get the return of Michelle Rodriguez, Colin Salmon and Oded Fehr characters confirmed long dead. PLUS the introduction of more beloved game characters Leon S. Kennedy and Ada Wong! All this feels like it should add up to something but we're sorry to report that is not the case.

639 Biggest "Jumping the Shark" Moments in Movies & TV Shows

BOO. Sorry that wasn't okay. But what is okay is that we're talking the greatest jumping the shark moments from across tv and film. James Bond, Indiana Jones, Heroes, several others. We also talk Avengers: Doomsday filming before the script is finished, a weird Robin Hood rebrand for Andrew Garfield's new movie, Dave Bautista getting big again for God of War, Peter Cullen's final performance as Optimus Prime, trailers for Harry Potter and Streeth Fighter and more!

Resident Evil: Afterlife - Caravan Of Garbage

Oh no it looks as if the Resident Evil movies might be on the decline after the incredible (by Resident Evil movie standards) third entry. Paul WS Anderson finally returns as director for Afterlife, a movie that takes some elements from the previous movies (Alice clones, the character of Kmart, not being able to remember your memories) and hits the ground running in what many are describing as a movie they might have seen around the time it came out but it's actually impossible to say. It does have the first appearance of Chris Redfield as played by Wentworth Miller. But don't get attached.…

Resident Evil: Extinction - Caravan Of Garbage

The end of this third entry in the franchise officially marks the halfway point of our look at the six Milla Jovovich/Paul WS Anderson Resident Evil movies. And it might just be the highpoint of the series. Undead crows, dried out beef jerky desert zombies, a Mad Max setting plus the inclusion of both Claire Redfield and Albert Wesker, essential video game characters! These movies are good and will almost certainly without question remain good from here on out.

Resident Evil: Apocalypse - Caravan Of Garbage

We are off and running with our look at the six Resident Evil movies! Well the six starring Milla Jovovich as Alice and either produced or directed by Paul WS Anderson. Second up is Resident Evil: Apocalypse the entry that is most closely tied and based on a specific video game from the series. Jill Valentine joins the team and we get the introduction of Nemesis, a big gross mutant guy with a secret past I'm not sure the movie even tries to keep secret. And there's a lot of running and jumping and shooting etc. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review SUBSCRIBE HERE ►►…

636 Marvel/Star Wars Crossover & The End of Oak Street

Unfortunately we recorded this a little bit before all the big reveals of D23 (new X-Men cast, trailers for Avengers: Doomsday and Vision Quest, Bluey the movie and also other things) but we still got to check out The End of Oak Street which answers the question "what if dinosaurs but also the 80s?" We also discuss the first ever official Star Wars/Marvel crossover, a bunch of DCU shows getting cancelled, trouble brewing for Barbie 2, updates on the Paramount WB merger and what this whole Infinity Vision thing is in the lead up to Doomsday.

Resident Evil - Caravan Of Garbage

On the eve of a brand new Resident Evil movie from director Zack Cregger we aim to achieve something heroes only dream of, taking a look at all six movies from the original series. Beginning with Resident Evil from 2002 it introduces us to a world seperate from that of the video games lead by Alice (Milla Jovovich) and directed by Paul WS Anderson whom would return for later entries in the franchise. And boy is it a sight! Laser hallways, kicking zombie dogs in the head, red AI girls I guess. Alright. Let's get started. Thanks fo watching our Caravan Of Garbage review SUBSCRIBE HERE ►►…

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 Ready Player One than Roger Rabbit which some people might like but I don't like that.

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 for The Thomas Crown Affair and Jumanji: Open World Trailer, X-Men casting and more!

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 around which I guess we love and aliens which alright and a monkey crystal that turns people in to monkeys which wait maybe this movie isn't good?

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, Disney and Warner Bros. characters like Donald and Daffy Duck, plus Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny. Next week we'll look at a not as good live action/animation hybrid, and the week after that one of the…

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.

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, a city of stupid people against a horse and a whole lot more.

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 work, with the giant bronze statue Talos, the seven headed Hydra and of course the skeleton battle sequence.

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 Affleck, George Clooney, and Adam West as Batman, along with Wonder Woman, Aquaman, a pretty solid interpretation of Supergirl from Sasha Calle, and Ezra Miller's The Flash, I guess, if you're into that…
