Listened to you guys since the beginnjng! Just wondering what's the most heated disagreement you've had over a movie/tv show/video game/book etc.?
Do you have any favorite (or least favorite) queer movies/series? Personally, I think Bottoms is one of the funniest movies ever and Love Simon is an insult to the gay community 🙀🤭
Hello folks, this is a question I love to ask when the car ride gets dead & boring. If you had to write a book, fiction or non-fiction, what would it be about? Have you always had that one story you wanted to tell?
Back in 2018, you guys put me onto “Wake in Fright” and I really liked it. I tried to show my family, but when they found out about the ending they accused me of liking a “Kangaroo snuff film”. That being said, any chance we’ll get a Wake in Fright COG ever?
Has Mason ever let James' son drive the tram? If not, why is that not grounds for your relationship to shatter? Follow-up, will Maso let *me* drive the tram?
Has Maso ever vetoed a movie for caravan of garbage, and if not what would Maso definitely veto if it ever came up?
I was listening back to an old episode. I think its where you review Spiderman: Homecoming. You went on a tangent about Jeremy Renner injuring himself in set. Then you talked about how valuable his bones would be. Then you said it depended on how many were broken, to determine the value. Maybe an intact bone would be more valuable because he had broken so many. This was before his snow plow accident. My question is, how did you cause this accident? I need some things to happen to some people who may or may not be ruining my country. Thanks in advance.
maso recently mentioned waking life which is a movie I'm very fond of and led me to find undone, a show that also uses rotoscoping and I loved even more. my question is what property would you like to see have a different visual framing? something like marvel doing a stop motion like they did with modok but as full movie or presentation, i think a rotoscoped legion or muppets movie would be cool!
If the MCU rebooted from complete scratch, which actors would you cast today for the original Avengers team?
I may be too late for this, but I have a question for Mason specifically, although James is free to riff if applicable. Mason, as you seem to have solid music knowledge usually relating to the hip-hop genre I was wondering if you are familiar with/have any opinions on MF DOOM as well as his other aliases like King Geedorah and the group he was in, KMD. MF DOOM is part of a very specific intersection of comic book/general nerdy fandom and classic hip-hop that I feel would appeal to Maso's sensibilities
James a couple of months ago said that he hates pub quizzes. Well I run two pub quizzes in Leeds and I'm very upset. The prize regularly gets up to £500 for the winner if they can answer a jackpot question correctly, and I'm curious to see if James or Maso would win the prize money on these real questions I've asked (I'll keep them relevant to your interests, of course) - Who voiced Jiminy Cricket in the live action Disney Pinocchio remake? Samuel L Jackson has received a single Oscar nomination - what film was it for? Which British actor voices Uriel Septim in the video game Elder Scrolls: Oblivion? Who plays Rum Tum Tugger in the film adaptation of the musical CATS? Which country had it’s prime minster go missing and presumed dead after swimming in the sea in 1967? I won't lie, some of these have come to me after listening to your podcast.
Your ideal vacation is.... A) A Cruise B) A beach resort C) A cultural tour (think churches of France, cooking school in Thailand, staying a week with Monks in Nepal in silent meditation 🧘♀️ or tracing the steps of Lewis and Clark) D) Other Second question: Is there a strategic plan for growth, phase out or spin off for the pod? If so, whats that look like? Do Go On off Broadway???
Will you guys do more Tier Lists/those "guess the movie" videos Maso hates because he's bad at it? Also, I really liked the deep dive videos James used to make, so I was wondering if he had anymore planned. I understand that the reason we've not been seeeing many of them might be a time availability problem with big sandwich and all other commitments, just wondering if we can expect something like that in the near future. Thanks :)
How to approach either of you in public?
If you could (through magic not through ai) see any comic book story adapted into any cinematic universe past or present what would you choose? For example Kraven's Last Hunt as a Raimi Spider-Man Movie.
If Avengers: Doomsday is truly great and they pull it off will it be the best comeback in cinematic history and if that launches into a great Secret Wars how long do you foresee the MCU lasting realistically?
Hey, I’m a very loyal listener from the Bay Area over in California! Was wondering about the time Maso revealed he had faked watching a movie you covered on the pod only for you and I’m guessing most of the audience not to notice. Does Mason wanna reveal what movie that was or does he still prefer to keep it a mystery? James do you remember this and do you plan on doing it back? Keep up the great work. Also can I be the official security guard of the pod? - Jesús
With the Simpsons movie 2 coming next year, have you considered covering the first movie and some notorious episodes such as the Lady Gaga episode for COG?
Will you ever cover MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios in the booque clubbe? I remember you guys floated the idea when it came out but it never happened. I'm finally reading it this year alongside my rewatch of all the Marvel movies. Have you read any other inside baseball book about comics? I really enjoyed Marvel Comics: The Untold Story by Sean Howe and feels like The Reign of Marvel Studios picks up right where that book left off making it a spiritual sequel.
Does Batman got a bush or no bush
You two often guest on other pods during MICF, is there any chance of a live pod (Like a Superhero Showdown ep) with guests for the Weekly Planet?
When are you going back in MUGG
What are some juicy stories you have that are inside baseball? Since you’re both so prolific (Mason with all of his connections in the Australian comedy scene and James being an industry icon), I know you must have a plethora of stories involving big names (ex: the Kevin Spacey story and the Screen Junkies scandal respectively). If you don’t feel like you can share any of these wild anecdotes or regale us with any saucy escapades you may have gone on, I will settle for informing us on the last known whereabouts and happenings of Little James, as he has been missing in action for quite a while and I worry for the little angry guy. For all we know he could be trapped under the desk still. Thanks for always cheering up my Sundays and pretending to not be the same person (as that must be exhausting). Sincerely, your friendly American fan Wes.
Can we get commentary for Comics?
Do either of you ever watch live television? Or are you guys strictly streaming these days. Also I’m on Mason’s side I too do not like James’ one brother. The other one is alright tho.
I meant to send an email but never got around to it: When I was listening back to a lot of the older comic book club episodes, Maso brought up the series Prototype a lot. If you've played them, have you considered doing the comic series or the game for the comic book club/video game play episodes? I loved that game when I was a kid
What is the origin story of yours friendship and the origin story of the pod?!?
here in the big ‘26… does Mason still stand by the absolutely wild take that every single one of the Jurassic movies is “of roughly the same quality”?
I recently got out of a 6 year relationship and was wondering if you guys have any advice on how to deal with it. Thanks guys and love the pod
Hi guys its Jacob from Tampa Florida and I am currently doing a spiderman puzzle while watching tasm1 and I still hate this version of Peter Parker so much. But my questions is if you were able to make a airborne virus that turns people into any animal what animal would you pick
Hey gents, Anthony wondering if you guys will ever look at the Bionicle movies?
How did Maso acquire his knowledge of guns and ammunition? Does it take regular upkeep like reading Bullets Quarterly?
I know we talked about how good Ben and Lawrence are with the edit but do they ever say where they get so many good reaction shots? Do they watch tv and just write down moments they notice? And then to source them I feel is also a pain. So I’m just wondering how they go about getting them
James have you seen the invincible action figures from Jada toys? You convinced me to read invincible and I will be buying them
Maso, who do you prefer: James' kids or James' dogs?
What x men do you want to see introduced in the film? Just the ogs or do you want some more obscure ones? Also how short should the next wolverine be?
Jimmy C, can you please name a time you were extremely proud of your son? And Mason, name a time you were proud of a particular jacket/watch combo or a Tram maneuver or whatever else is you do. Thanks guys. Your content makes doing mundane tasks tolerable. 5 stars.
Hello! I’m Rosie and I have been a long time listener. You guys are basically the only content I consume online (because I am far too cool). My question is: what are your favourite song lyrics?
Since you guys are always recording in James’s mancave. When was the last time James was at Masons place?
Hey boys, have you considered instead of covering a recent film during a slow week at the cinema to instead cover an older movie on streaming you would prefer to talk about? Just an idea I had, no need to thank me. Anyway thanks for the past 12 or so years of podcasts.
I know you already did a review of project hail mary but are you going to do a caravan of garbage for that? not really sure what qualifies a movie to be caravaned sorry
We always talk about the BIG MOVIE characters. Let’s talk about the little guys. The nobodies. Who would you say is your favorite obscure comic book character to appear in any of the MCU/DCEU/DCU/SPUMM universes so far that you never thought you’d see. Do you have a favorite obscure throwaway characters that you would like to see in the future despite no logical reason for them appear?
Favorite piece of physical media you’ve bought recently?
Do you two have a favorite horror icon? Freddy, Jason, etc.
Who would win in a fight, you guys or a nice soup and sandwich and then a nice nap on the couch?
How did Maso acquire his knowledge of guns and ammunition? Does it take regular upkeep or is it all just mentally stored for recall when applicable for a movie or tv show? Thanks!
What random movies did you rewatch as a kid simply because they were purchased or recorded by your parents?
Hey fellas, what are some story arcs or moments from X-Men comics that you’d like to see adapted in the MCU and how do you think the focus on the X-Men will affect the way Marvel moves forward with The Avengers?
Good day fellas Two things I’d be interested in knowing the answer to Are there still any plans for doing on camera content, if so will that happen any time soon Second dumber question, if say Netflix or YouTube Red era came to you two to do some kind of weekly planet movie, would you guys do that Thanks
You fellas been keepin up with Aussie shows? I only ask cause a couple of shows have filmed in my town like Mystery Road and a single episode of Upright. And neither of them properly addressed the big hole thats my towns claim to fame. Can you believe that? Who ignores a giant hole in the ground? Madness
Hace You ever traveled to south américa? If You ever como to Uruguay You can staybat My place. I have a spear room. It's Nice and cold and wet.
Gonna go on a waffle here! I probably don't need to give this much context, but I happened to ignore pretty much all of the marvel movies released during my late twenties until one day I didn't (I think it was after watching guardians of the galaxy, although I definitely saw iron man 1 in the cinema) so I had a unique experience of suddenly jumping on the hype train and being able to binge watch a lot of films. This was great and I was very invested in marvel from then on, I especially enjoyed the famous trying to spot the links, Easter eggs and post credit scenes. I think end game basically peaked the series for me and actually infinity war felt like the reset because it was a bit OTT. By going about it this way I avoided all the usual build up from release dates, critical noise and my own misgivings, if I didn't like a film I moved onto the next one - no drama. Recently I did a selected rewatch of the MCU because like everyone else id reached burnout and previously where I'd happily rewatch the odd film here or there, I really had started to draw a line under it. Id kind of lost the love for it, really felt like a slog even though I enjoyed a lot of the TV shows the new build up process was quite annoying - I don't think this was helped by COVID and the writers strike impacting the new era. During the rewatch I did get the love back a bit and I was able to say first infinity war saga is genuinely one of the best things ever, but also hours and hours to get to the Kang dynasty finale have kind of been a waste of time. Now with doomsday arriving, I've got to say I am a little bit sad we won't get to see it completed - and wonder whether a recast of Jonathon Major(s) arsehole could have got it done? What do you think? Could they have saved the storyline? Do you think they will try and pick it up another time or is that fully done? Going back to the start of my waffle, I think the point I am making is you don't have to love the process at the time, as long as the payoff is good - even bad MCU movies in the build up to endgame added to it in the end(game). On rewatching I think you can understand how movie execs thought the multi verse would be a hit - endless fan made YouTube breakdowns about Easter eggs, endless explainers about multiple characters being from different realms, etc. stuff we all enjoy to dip into and you guys do so well. It definitely just got annoying though dragging itself along. I wonder whether marvel fans burning out fedback into Disney and by audiences getting a jaded we actually helped make the KD a bit shit. Part of my rewatch was antman 3 enter the miniverse or whatever and actually, I really liked it on rewatch. It was seriously daft but it was really fun, great visuals, silly sidekicks and made for a good kids movie. If I was a kid now I think that would be one of my favourite movies - and that was what made me feel sad the kang storyline had fizzled. That was a big waffle lol. Just a quick one lastly to say I love the pod, been relistening to older episodes. I'm in my forties now but these films really help me reconnect to a time when my idiot parents were still alive ❤️ stay nerdy!
Listened to you Endgame commentary the other day. It was great, cheers boys. Would you be interested in doing commentaries for the lord of the rings? And wuld you be up for the extended versions if you have the balls and/or ovaries for it?
What is the most fun you’ve had doing a “Never Go Back” and why is it The Search For Luke Skywalkers Lightsaber?
If you two fought, how much of a handicap would James need to have for Mason to have a chance?
Is Caravan of Garbage your guys first podcast together?
when will it end?
Do you think Star Wars obsession with just the Original Trilogy is what is killing Disney Star Wars? I was 10 when episode 3 came out so to me the prequels are my trilogy so I really dont care so much for the OT and wish we would get more new stories like Andor, The Acolyte, and The Ninth Jedi.
James, why do you think so many Teachers (like yourself) end up becoming comidians?
What are your thoughts on people complaining that Wolverine won’t be butt booty naked in the new video game due to his costume also regenarating?
How would you rank all the video game movies?
Would you like a donut?
I had gotten completely burned out on MCU stuff a few years ago; no movies after Guardians 3 and gave up on TV halfway through Secret Invasion. This summer my 13yo daughter asked to watch Fantastic Four (2025) and got hooked. In the last few months we've watched 26 movies and 2 series and I'm having so much fun re-experiencing things with her and am actually enjoying things I previously was down on...Ant-Man3, Thor 4, etc....Is there anything you've rewatched with your kids that has improved because of the experience of their enthusiasm?
What does your production/recording schedule look like? I envision slumber parties every weekend due to the sheer volume of content. Curious if these shows are as fueled by pizza and Mtn Dew as I think they are
Howdy from Texas! First I want to just thank you both, I’ve been listening since 2014 (said to make you feel old), and you guys have been a huge part of my life. My family even knows y’all as the “Crazy Australians you’re always listening to”. My question is, do you think the concept of sidekicks in movies and TV adaptations is kind of outdated? I have always been a fan of sidekicks, especially the legacy of the Robins, but it seems like, beyond Rhodey and Bucky who are more heroes in their own rights, as well as that terrible Titans show, most comic book movies are ashamed or just can’t get to a place where they can include these characters.
Have you seen the show Taskmaster, either the Australian or British one? I ask because there’s an Australian one and you are both Australian.
When are you bringing back Thoughts and Prizes? I need the payoff!
Does it weird you out when people tell you how long they have been listening/how do you feel about young listeners? I started listening when I was 14 and I am now 26, married, and trying to buy a house. So I was just wondering if that was ever weird for you guys🤔.
Any comic that you like so much you hope they don’t adapt it because it’s so perfect as is? As in, an adaptation could only make it worse in your eyes or you think so much would be lost in an adaptation?
Best experience of showing your kids something for the first time.
So I’ve seen a certain comedian be afraid of bananas… for whatever reason. Do yall have any unnecessary fears?
What is a movie or show that you're just baffled to hear someone enjoys and vice versa what is a film you know you shouldn't like and yet you do? And not in a oh it's so bad it's good way but in the way my mate Gary genuinely thought how to be single was a good movie!
Due to some convoluted backstory, you have the opportunity to give your respective co-star a super power, what would you give them and why?
Why?
Would you do a longer-form let's play or even maybe live stream playing through some video games?
Not sure if that’s been addressed previously, but with Tom Holland saying he spent a lot of time deep diving online watching videos to see what spider man fans want, do you think he has heard your guys’ flattering impression?
Is Maso's sister cannon? Is James actually the funny one?
How did u two meet? You two have such an amazing chemistry. Love the videos keep it up u two are hilarious, always making me laugh!
What's your favourite song or album by an actor; or favourite bit of acting work by a singer or musician? (I ask this because Milla Jovovich released an excellent album in the 1990s called 'The Divine Comedy', so, you know, topical question given your foolish decision to watch all those Resident Evil movies.)
Would Maso ever let James drive his tram?
Have you heard the “crossed” comics have been greenlit for a live action movie/series, this had me thinking is there any comics/books too violent to be adapted to live action faithfully
Are there any episodes where you really didn't want to review a movie or show but felt like you had to?
Does Mason drive the tram because James doesn't pay him enough or is he just in it for the love of the game?
Hello James and Maso! I sent this via email but thought it might be good here instead - can you recommend any good Green Lantern comics for a newcomer? Really enjoyed the first ep of Lanterns and would love to know more about it. Keep up the great work.
There are several franchises that Jeremy Renner tried and failed to take over (Mission: Impossible, Avengers, Bourne), but which franchise do you think he has the best chance to actually succeed at? It doesn't have to be one he's currently in.
Are you guys planning on covering the Avengers Movies for Caravan of Garbage in the lead up to Doomsday?
Have you guys checked out the DC Absolute universe yet? If so what’re your thoughts? Personally I’m a huge fan of absolute Martian Manhunter, Absolute Green Arrow, and Absolute Superman. You guys help me get through the week so genuinely thank you
Do the two of you have any favourite tv show opening themes? A few of mine I can rattle off are "At Least It Was Here" (Community), The Succession Theme, "Flagpole Sitta" (Peep Show) and of course the theme for Round the Twist
Why have James and Maso not provided we (the paying customer) a full podcast brainstorming and analyzing different story ideas for Blade Runner Babies?
Former teacher here who lived in China for 3.5 years and Korea for a year, James how did you handle getting back into your regular life after living abroad for as long as you did? Also not a question but I’ve been listening to you guys since 2014 you’ve been a part of my life through two heartbreaks, my engagement, marriage and now as a homeowner and soon to be father, I hope you two both know what a positive impact you’ve had on my life and I’m sure many many more, thank you both.
Do either of you think you could beat up Jonah Hill or would he annihilate you? If you're too scared you can have Mark Zuckerberg fight in your place, as he's also a practitioner of jiu-jitsu and probably loves to annihilate. The winner gets to kiss Joe Jiu-Jitsu Rogan.
If you could take any actor at any age and place them in a role in any year, do you believe there is one that would be perfect? I.e a young Harrison Ford in a modern role, an old Willem Dafoe in a film from the 70s etc. A young Robin Williams as a modern day Mxyzptlk is my answer
With the announcement of Doctor Who going out to tender, opening up bids to different prodution companies to produce the next iteration of the show, what would you lovely boys want to see the show do next as guys who’ve dipped in and out over the years? What do you reckon it needs? If you don’t care at all, I of course will respect your exquisite Australian taste, but as a fan of the show who’s seen the gradual dissolution of interest from the general audience, it would be nice to get an outside perspective. Much love boys, I enjoy your BIG sandwiches. Mwa x
Is it the same bev getting cracked at the start of every episode or different drinks each time? If so, which can has the best crack
What are both of your favorite movies that the other one absolutely cannot stand?
Would you consider playing ultimate alliance together again for a video, in honor of avengers doomsday?
do you face away from the water or towards the water when you shower
What are some of your favourite foreign movies? Would you ever consider doing a CoG on some of them? Also when you watch foreign content do you prefer dubbed or undubbed + subtitles? (inb4 all except Mad Max, Romeo + Juliet, Daybreakers and Home and Away: The Movie are technically foreign if you are an Aussie, I of course am referring to non-English movies)
If you could only watch either British or American comedy tv shows for the rest of your life, which would you choose?
Why? Just, Why?
Hey Mr Sunday Movies and Mr Maso, is there any chance you guys could cover a few of the classic TOHO Godzilla movies? I'd love to see that and im hoping im not the only one but I might be wrong... sad face
What are some movies that surprised you? Like something you had no real knowledge of and saw and just had a marvelous time. One for me was Stardust, I knew nothing and left a huge fan. I feel like this is so rare (unlike being disappointed by something you were looking forward to) and I want to hear about films that brought you unexpected joy. Grab dat (hidden) gem!
What's a movie that a lot of people think is good, but you can't/won't admit it's even remotely good out of spite/hatred (it could be because of an actor, director, character, fandom, etc)
Whats the worst movie soundtrack you've ever heard?
If you had to fight any MCU character, but you had a year to prep, who would you fight and why?
I’m begging you saucy blokes to do a movie commentary for Cronenberg’s EXistenZ just so we can laugh together at Jude Law’s American accent and Ian Holm’s inexplicable Eastern European accent
With all the crossovers/universe merging happening Would you guys ever consider doing Super Hero Showdowns again?
letterboxd top 4 ready set GO
Ven vill u vear vigs?
In The Dark Knight Rises 🤣 Why does nobody ever mention that Bruce Wayne had a tracker on his mothers pearls? Alfred was aware of the tracker, Selina Kyle appears to be wearing the pearls during the final scene at the cafe. It stands to reason Alfred used the tracker, right? Especially since they included a scene where the people executing Bruce Wayne’s will still had the pearls unaccounted form and they made no mention of the tracker. I also sent an e-mail on this having recently subscribed to Big Sandwich. I found myself yelling at my speaker while listening to all the “We got this Covered” episodes, and flying into a James level rage lol every time the DKR ending gets brought up 😂 Keep up the great work men, Robert, your longtime fan in Michigan.
One of my pet peaves in comics is when a name is passed on to another character. I don't think Sam Wilson should be Captain America, he's made a name for himself as Falcon and should stay that way. I don't like having multiple spider-men. Phyla-Vel has how many names? Does this bother either of you?
Ok, I have a question. Just who the hell do you think you are?
Two questions: 1. What’s your feelings on fan conventions and if you’ve ever attended one. I just came back from D23 and had a lot of fun. But keep in mind, I only did it for one day, so I didn’t do everything that was available and tried to just have fun. Also, I don’t do a lot of conventions, so I’m not familiar with a lot of the culture surrounding them. 2. What’s a tangent, story, rant, or opinion you’ve always wanted to share, but felt there was never an appropriate opportunity to bring it up?
what are some little rituals/things you do for yourself that you really enjoy?
Hey Big James and Maso, I always struggle to think of a question but I have a small anecdote about when I discovered you guys. I'm a LONG time fan and remember discovering the Mr. Sunday Movie Youtube channel back in 2014ish when most of the videos were just James doing short-form video essays by himself with Maso occasionally being in one of those videos. Thus, I became a fan of James first and when I heard Maso pop up in some videos I thought "yuck, another YouTuber trying to bring his weird mate into this" But it didn't take long for Maso to sell me on his witty banter. Then I discovered the Weekly Planet Podcast and the rest is history. But it's funny to think there was a time where my favorite dynamic for the videos was just James by himself, which sounds crazy now. I guess to make this a question: is there any content creator you became a fan of through another content creator? Or you became a fan of them through something other then the thing they are most famous for? I'm a fan of Matt McMuscle's "What Happened?" video essays where he discuss problematic development cycles for video games and movies but I never watched him on the Super Best Friends Play let's play channel, where I think most of his following comes from.
With the MCU teasing a soft reboot are there any versions of the characters you would like to see? I wanted to see a live adaptation of the 2025 Hickman Ultimate Spider-Man however it got kinda boring and I never finished it. But I still think having Andrew come back for this could be fun. What are versions of the characters you would like to see in infinity vision some day??
Curious if there’s any plans to make Time Crapsule into video content? I’m thinking of switching my Big Sandwich membership over to a YouTube one for convenience but I believe as of rn Time Crapsule is the only bonus content that doesn’t currently have video form, Thanks for everything boys! Best wishes :) also it’s actually the movie Joker
How did James develop his super power to ID wigs in movies and TV shows? What is the secret? What type of wig would James wear if bald?
Why do Australians keep camping on that island full of dingos?
Why are you two so awesome?
Which comic characters from the big 2 should have an ending? Any that you feel already had a great endpoint but kept going?
Have you guys ever considered getting into indie comic book publishing? I don’t know much about the industry, but I’ve had a couple ideas for comics and I’ve never followed through with them partially due to how difficult it seems to get your work out there. Seems like you guys actually care about good stories, especially with some kind of positive message
Do you think that the MCU movies are getting better or they still haven't recovered after Avengers: Endgame?
With the first three Spiderman movies all having the word, Home, in them, what is the new word for the next three? Brand, New, or Day? Can you guys also riff up some potential titles for the next two movies? I'm guessing the next one will be, Brand New Miles Morales.
After all these years how much do you regret naming the channel Mr Sunday Movies?
You're presented with a villainous choice: you must increase your mass in one dimension to an uncomfortable degree (á la a stretched .img file). In what direction do you distort your human form?
Has there been a time one of you has been really surprised with the other's reaction to a comic/movie/show you've covered? And how much do you share your feelings on the thing you're covering with each other before recording?
What would get you both to not cover a BIG MOVIE on the podcast?
Dad question for James. How do you deal with aggressive marketing towards kids? I see things like popcorn buckets and preorder bonuses and imagine kids go nuts for them, whereas I see them as useless junk. I have a 10 month old and am already scared of them having this kind of crap targeted to them when they’re older. How do you go about this kinds of situations with your kids?
What are the current chances for visiting the United States if we don't fuck up our midterm elections and keep the pedos in power? And can you promise me you'll visit Philadelphia when it finally happens (it's the best city in here, I'm not biased at all... we got Wawa)?
What is a movie that best summarizes what it feels like to live in Australia to you two? I know seeing the first crocodile Dundee movie I was amazed seeing the small town in the middle of nowhere.
If you could summon something to your hand like mjolnir, what would it be? Rules, whatever it is the nearest thing comes to you. It has to either make its way through opening or break its way through things. It can be multiple of one thing but you can only summon one of it at a time.
Genuine question I’ve never heard an answer for, when amazing comic book story likes exist, like Supergirl “Woman of Tomorrow”, why does Hollywood think they can write better than an already iconic story line?
Do you think female‑focused superhero movies struggle because of audience bias, studio neglect, or just weaker creative decisions — and have you noticed that the marketing push for them always seems way smaller than the big tentpole releases?
Since lanterns is a hot topic do you guys have a favorite non-human GL? Kilowog is my safe choice but Bzzd is a close second
You have to beat each other in game a basketball Space Jam Style Which wacky obscure character make up your team?
Hey James and Maso! First of all, love the pod, keep up the good work boys!! Second of all, am interested to hear your thoughts on how much the 'believability' or 'realism' of a movies premise impacts your enjoyment of it. Some of the discourse surrounding projects like 'Yesterday but twist the Beatles never existed let alone had matching foppish haircuts' and 'One Night Only but every other night of the year we live in an authoritarian sexually repressed hellscape' seems to have people losing their minds over how this could never happen or it isn't realistic and is therefore bad. I recognise I'm asking this of the pod that often focuses on fantastical, less grounded subject matter, but regardless, how much does this impact how you'll feel about something? Third of all, just to reiterate, love you boys and the pod, keep up the great work!!
Maso, if James was riding your tram, would you be willing to fill out a form?
This question is for james: when did your obsession with maid marian start?
What happens once you guys run out of culturally relevant years for time crapsule? Please start doing random years throughout history like 1346 (when black plague started)
I'm just popping to the kitchen. Can I get anything for either of you to drink?
I have read an ungodly amount of comics. Spider-man, batman, superman hellboy, transformers, power rangers, i could go on. BUT MrSundayMovies why does manga scare you? One Piece is amazing. Berserk is one the greatest dark fantasy ever written with amazing art. Is it just getting into another medium that is overwhelming?
Are you going to look at the speed racer movie?
Hello. It's me, Ryan. I have 2 questions, hope that's OK. Feel free to answer both, either, or neither, do what you want I'm not your dad nor am I Maso's dad Bob Iger. 1. What are some pressures or incentives working in pop culture that punters like us aren't aware of? I think we mostly know about SEO and having to deal with h8 mail but the h8 has an 8 in it and stuff like that but is there anything you've not talked about or that otherwise isn't commonly known? 2. What does an average week of recording, prep work, admin etc. look like for each of you?
I'd add a +1 to your second question. I tried getting this in last Q&A but must have missed the cutoff "Hey lads, can you run us through what a day in the life of the pod is like. You've gone into some detail before, but it would be fun to know things like: what's the schedule for you to record? how quickly does editing need to be turned around? where do you sit (can we get some BTS photos?) couch? table? dedicated recording space in James' pad? it sounds like some days you get way more recording done than others, i assume this is due to scheduling and just life in general. Would you consider recording a live show or doing a tour? or a special patreons/bigsandwich only show with chat?"
Hey mates! You're currently watching 6 resident evil movies and probably going insane. What big franchise that you haven't gotten to yet are you most dreading? Is it pirates of the Caribbean?
Did you guys have any podcast ideas for big sandwich that you guys eventually didn’t do? I had a dream one time you two started doing cooking podcast (sounds pretty dumb don’t do it) for big sandwich
Are you guys still reading any of DC Absolute line?
MR SUNDAY MOVIES AND WIKIPEDIA BROWN!!! EVERYBODY ASKS WHERE’S RODNEY??? BUT NOBODY ASKS “How’s Rodney?”
When will you blokes release the Snake EYES?!?
What’s your “I can’t believe they fucked this up” franchise ? For me it’ll always be Jurassic world/later Jurassic park movies, how do you fuck up DINOSAURS consistently
What is Maso's connection to the comedy world? Has he ever done standup? He seems to have a lot of friends in the Aussie Comedy Scene and I'm not quite sure if I've heard any answers of why. It feels like he's worked with some of them before, when you drive the tram are you everyone's coworker? :D
With all the chaos post endgame you think it’s more likely the MCU gets a grand finale post secret wars reset / X-men saga or ends on a random movie like Shang chi 3?
In the spirit of James’s “Anything can be good” mentality, what’s a movie or show that you thought would be terrible that turned out to be great?
Have you thought about doing a retrospective episode, looking back at such classics as "Dave Cruelier", "James' Rants", "Hot Scoop or Shot of Poop", and "H8te mail, but the hate has an 8 in it"?
Should I just move my bigsandwich.co subscription over to patreon at this point?
I'm unsure if this question has ever been asked before, but on average how much stuff from the podcast is left on the cutting room floor? Whenever I listen it always seems like everything is kept in, especially since riffs and tangents seem to be left in because of how funny they are!
What’s a movie you’re not entirely sure you even like, but are fascinated with and have rewatched multiple times? (I’ve seen Challengers three times despite not loving it, because it makes me think critically about what makes a good screenplay)
With all of the super hero movies, what is the one property you hold dear that they HAVEN’T made yet?
Luis here, just wondering if you could shrink your worst enemy to just a few inches in height and you could do anything to them, what would you do?
What up ma boyssss! Hope you’re both tickety boo? My name is Harry and I am 27 from Norwich in the United Kingdoms of jolly old England. I just wanted to thank you on behalf of YEARS and YEARS of constant hilarity, happiness and pure joy. Your videos and general chit chat have been a safe place for many and for that I truly thank you ❤️✨ If memory serves me well, James mentioned a while ago that you guys would be doing a UK tour this year (unless memory does in fact not serve me well and this came to me in a mind bending dream). I was just wondering if this was in fact not a dream and if so, is there any update on potential dates for this? (Also a Caravan of Garbage for Back To The Future and Pirates of the Caribbean would be an absolute delight in the future) 🚗💨⚡️ Go on treat yourselves 🏴☠️ Keep up the cracking work ya absolute treasures, Lots of love, Harry 🎬
I have the same question. Thought I made it up when they mentioned a tour. They also mentioned Ireland in that UK tour. Would love to have them come to my home town.
I've been listening to some old episodes from 2020 for some reason. Maybe I hate myself? Anyway, I'm wondering, what are your thoughts on how the movie industry has changed since 2020, and how does that compare to what you thought would happen back then? Cheers.
Do you actually enjoy the dire years of timecrapsule (1920s-30s), the combination of the predictability yet absurdity of 'and his orchestra' gets me everytime.
I'm sick of "Easter Egg" videos (hi, James and Maso and etcetera). I recently watched Lanterns and loved it. But the "Easter egg" videos about it are sad. Did you catch that the hero is Green Lantern and there is a Green Lantern in Superman? Easter egg! Did you know Hal Jordan is the name of Hal Jordan in the comics? Easter egg! And, you probably missed this Easter egg, James, but there is not just a Green Lantern, there is a Green Lantern CORP! Easter egg! Do "easter egg" videos annoy you too?? Le sigh. Jasin from Indiana
Serious question: Is there a show/movie that you really like that is from a genre you don’t care for? Silly question: Would you rather fight 1 Broden-sized Mark or 5 Mark-sized Brodens?
Who do you think you are?
Will you do Alan Moore's Swamp Thing run for the big sandwiche classique comique booque club? All 6 volumes cowards
What are your favorite books of all time? Will you ever read an unfinished book series like the game of thrones books?
Do you think COVID really screwed up the MCU or you think the post Endgame hangover was inevitable? Also with all the knowledge of Hulks why are they still shooting regular bullets at them?
With your knowledge and limited experience. What movie do you think you could direct better than it originally was? You will have the same crew, budget, and everything but you'll just be directing it now.
You're both stuck 5 miles below the Earth's surface in a bunker. Help is on the way but it's going to take a month. You have enough food and water, but with you is a any comic book hero of your choosing except for w/e comic book reason they don't have their powers/what every helps them fight crime. Who's stuck with you down there? (Each of you get to pick one)
Will there ever be a lega-sequel reboot of the podcast where a child of James is trained in the way of podcasting/tram driving by their fathers old mentor, Maso, who has cut himself off from the ways of red hot comic book movie news by isolating on an island somewhere (presumably the one where the Vic/Tas land border is)?
Has mason ever had a fan say hello to him while en route at work?
For old time sake, can you pronounce "antimicrobial"
Hey, guys. Love the content. 🙂 What movie or show has your opinion changed on the most since you first saw it, for better or worse? Thanks.
Hi James and Maso, been listening for about 12 years since the Captain America: The Winter Soldier Easter egg video, really appreciate all the content over the years! Not sure if this has been asked, but what are some of your favorite comfort movies?
Have you ever had red hot comic book movie news shoot out your butthole?
If you guys were replaced by muppets which muppets would you be? Also do you have a favorite muppet movie? I’m very muppet brained today so that’s all I’ve got
Hey James and Mason- I have recently binged all the seasons of Taskmaster Australia and I’m completely obsessed — would either of y’all ever consider being a contestant on the show? Have y’all ever worked or collaborated with any of the past contestants or either Tom?
Any upcoming caravan of garbage on comic books? I like those a lot
Did you ever figure out when you two first met? Cause it stresses me out on the X-men commentary that you don’t
Do you think there is a legitimate possibility of a Defenders of the Earth movie? With movies like Masters of the Universe being pretty fun imo, I feel it could appeal to some people, and hopefully confuse others as to who most of them are
Have you ever wanted a sequel/reboot to be released specifically so you can cover it on the channel? At this point I only want that mcu blade so you guys can cover the others
Is there any episode/episodes that you wish you could go back and re-record?
upcoming releases in the coming years you’re excited about simply for the caravan of garbages you could do?
I work in the VFX industry. I know you have contacts in the VFX industry. Overall the industry has been laying off people due to AI and budget cuts. Have any of your industry contacts left the industry?
In the Toy Story universe, we see the toys still maintain their pre-written personalities when they are first opened from the box. Given this, which toy would be the most dangerous if it were based off a fictional character?
Hey guys Mitchell coming to you from Missouri! My question is what is the one comic/comic series that you know is great and have been told how great it is but just can’t get into it? Mine is Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing. I have the full set and have tried multiple times to keep reading it but it just hasn’t wowed me.
Wow, Missouri Mitch
Why do you secretly hate each other? I know you both told me this separately in confidence but I think it’s time you clear the air. Good luck
Would you both consider doing a dungeons and dragons style special for either the Patreon or YouTube? I would really enjoy to hear you guys succeed and struggle while playing dnd!
How much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?
