The Weekly Planet Bonus Q&A May 2026

Welcome everybody, it appears John Letters was kind enough to deliver some extra bonus questions after his recent appearance on the main podcast (ep 622). He’s probably a nice guy really but make sure you don’t accidently call him John Lennons! This has been a good and normal description for a podcast episode. Thanks for listening!

X-Men: The Last Stand REDUX (Extended)

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 re-appear in future prequels and sequels. Thanks for listening to our Caravan Of Garbage review

X2: X-Men United (Extended)

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 for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review.

X-Men (Extended)

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 franchise has never been more relevant. And then there’s the Bryan Singer of it all. YUCK. Anyways thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review.

War of the Worlds 2025 (Extended)

Early access! 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 for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review!

War of the Worlds 2005 (Extended)

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. This should be fantastic! And yet… Anyhow thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review.

Also don’t worry this isn’t an accident posting before the video version is available. Naturally sometimes those intense edits are available a little later so we’re going to try scheduling the extended audio earlier just as some bonus early access. Thanks for listening!

66: The Dark Knight Returns

We’re celebrating the 40th anniversary of a BIG BATMAN comic with The Dark Knight Returns on the Big Sandwiche Booque Clubbe. James & Maso reviewing Frank Miller’s iconic comic. You can also watch a fully edited video version of this bonus ep on Big Sandwich. Thanks for listening and/or watching!

618: The Drama & The Boys Final Season (so far)

You’ll never believe this early episode of the podcast covering some news about BIG MOVIES plus reviewing The Drama and the first couple episodes of The Boys final season. Thanks for listening!
