| 0:00.0 | The Weekly Planet, the Weekly Planet. |
| 0:03.9 | Welcome back everybody to another episode of the Weekly Planet where we talk movies and comics and TV shows. My name is James, also known as Mr. Sunday. Nick Mason, what are you doing here? It's great to be here. You're doing a podcast. I am doing a podcast. I love that you're amused by your own antics. I was amused because you did a face. I did do a face. So if anything, you're amusing, you idiot. |
| 0:24.0 | You judge. by your own antics. I was amused because you did a face. I did do a face. So if anything, you're amusing, you idiot, you charming, I am undeniably a charming moron. A charming moron. There we go. It's on my passport. I had them put it on. Good. Occupation or just under your name? I just said wherever you can fit it. Location, Charming Moron. Yeah, sure, absolutely. Charming Moransville. Yeah, for sure. For sure, Mason. Big week. Huge week. Huge week for franchises for Dead Man. Absolutely. We're of course talking about Masters of the Universe. Should they call it He-Man and the Masters of the Universe? Do you think that would make a difference? No. No? You know how back in like the 80s Wall Street days, all the Wall Street guys were called Masters of the Universe? No. No. They did. At least, unless I'm being lied to by American Psycho, which I probably am. |
| 1:11.0 | These guys are all dead though, right? |
| 1:12.2 | But were they called, did they call themselves Masters of the Universe and then somebody |
| 1:17.5 | at a toy company went, that's a great idea for a thing? |
| 1:20.0 | Yeah. |
| 1:20.3 | Or did the Wall Street guys? |
| 1:21.3 | So the original line was like a Jason Bateman-style Wall Street. |
| 1:25.3 | That's right. |
| 1:25.9 | Exactly. |
| 1:26.5 | Yeah. |
| 1:27.2 | That's right. Exactly. Yeah. That's right. You turn the packaging around and they all had like a bone white business card with their important details on it. And a big phone. And such a big phone. Big phone lifting action. Michael Douglas firing someone action. Nice. Blying. What was the stock that he liked to buy? Martin Sheen, not a proving action. |
| 1:45.9 | That's right. |
| 1:47.3 | Yes. |
| 1:48.2 | Hell yeah. |
| 1:49.2 | But did the toy line come out and then a bunch of adult men on the stock market |
| 1:55.5 | called themselves Masters the Universe based on the toy line? |
| 1:57.9 | Because it really could go either way. |
| 1:59.2 | Let's do some research in the break. |
| 2:00.9 | It could be parallel thought. |
| 2:02.4 | There's no way. It's like an Armageddon Deep Impact situation. They didn't know. Two 80s Masters of the Universe. They didn't know. They didn't know. Okay. Fine. We'll do some research now off in our off time, which is never because we're very busy. I might do it while you're talking. |
