You Know Who

On second thought, I’m going to pull out to concentrate on other projects. Looking forward to listening.

I should warn you that Herge's black people look like Mr Popo/Jinx. I've not read Tintin in America in a while or The Blue Lotus at all but I can't imagine him portraying Native American or Chinese people tastefully either.

The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

I'd be interested. Not seen the early movies for ages or the latest one yet, but the X-Men comics were the first ones I read consistently and I've seen most if not every episode of the 90s and early 2000s cartoons. I even had the DK X-Men encyclopedia at one point. Not sure if I'm up for full synopsis duties, given that I've only done it once and I took way too long.

He couldn't possibly be worse than Batffleck. Hope the rumors that Josh Gad will be the Penguin are false though. He is to me what James Corden is to Ian.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes, though the sequels are great as well. Not sure how much screen time he has in Topsy-Turvy, but it'd be great to hear Pandy talk more about G & S.

Chewbacca actor Peter Mayhew dies aged 74

What he said.

Looks good and no complaints about the cast so far. They don’t seem to have announced who’s voicing Iorek Byrnison yet but judging by the roar, he’ll definitely be showing up in the first season. One gripe about this teaser, though: Where are the dæmons?

Rami Malek has signed on to be the villain. This is a good thing as long as it’s not a stereotypical Middle Eastern bad guy and he has good material to work with, neither of which is guaranteed.

That Thing You Do

And the film shall be called...

Huck Finn and Deep Impact.

Apparently people really hate the look of his Genie. Not entirely sure why; he doesn’t look exceptionally bad (albeit form the iPhone screen I’m typing this on) and it’d be disappointing if he wasn’t blue.

Whoopi Goldberg wanted to be the Thirteenth Doctor.

Good man.

Confession time: I’ve lived in Philadelphia for nearly five years now and have passed Rocky’s statue in front of the art museum hundreds of times but haven’t seen single Rocky film. Forgive me Master for I have sinned.

I think he’s technically fourth-billed in Patriot Games but he’s the main villain and I think he has enough screen time to warrant it. I suspect Ian is fixing to do The Black Death so I’ll offer him that bone. It’ll also give you two a chance to tangent about Newt Charmlessmander.

It’s your birthday. Many happy returns.

Spirited Away. I like both but at worst was never bored by Spirited Away; just baffled.
