comment
The Weekly Planet is a weekly podcast that's part of the Planet Broadcasting Network *  Formerly the official podcast of Comic Book Movie dot com. Each week, James "Mr. Sunday Movies" Clement and "Internet Celebrity" Nick Mason sit down in James's mancave— er, regular room and discuss movies, comic books, TV shows, and anything else that comes to mind. The feel of the podcast is very loose and more often than not engages in rambling, humorous banter.

Wrong Parachute Gag: Mason's justification for refusing to skydive is because he's certain either the parachute will fail, or it will be filled with wacky items instead.

Saw "Star Wars" Twenty-Seven Times: Mason has a recurring story that he once watched Police Academy 6 24 times in a week. When asked why he just says it's better without context.note In a Q&A, he dismissed it as just a dumb thing teenagers do.

Artifact Title: "Caravan of Garbage" often results in the podcast becoming the subject of ire when they cover properties that are generally widely-loved under the "Caravan of Garbage" banner. On numerous occasions James and Mason have had to interrupt the opening spiel to assure viewers that the title doesn't necessarily mean they're watching a garbage movie and that they aren't hating on a beloved classic.

Dolled-Up Installment: invokedAs far as Mason is concerned, the script for Transformers: The Last Knight was originally a fantasy movie about King Arthur that had nothing to do with Transformers, which were only added in after the fact. He believes this is the case because of how easily the Transformers can be removed from the plot without altering it too much.

Running Gag
 The Weekly Planet (Podcast) / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: Many. "Is it pronounced Dune or Dune?" "Mason, what did you think the story was?" "Defenders of the Earth!" The "recurring" "segment" Ring a Ding Ding! Let's Predict a Thing. Mason yelling McG's name any time the latter is mentioned. Mason's "If you like it, it's fine but you're wrong but it's cool, like what you like, but you're wrong." James repeatedly bringing up his vendettas or Berserk Buttons on the podcast. "Fuck art!" Mason having to play the letters theme off of his phone every time they have a letters segment. Specifically, he plays it off of YouTube instead of downloading it. The podcast dog and her moxie/spirit. James mentioning being a father and hating other dads. James mentioning being a man of the world. #MulletforSuperman. A joking demand for the Superman of the DCEU to be resurrected with a mullet, like in the comics. In regards to questionable leaks of news, "Hot Scoop or Shot of Poop?" If it turns out to be false, James has to do a shot of poop. Regardless of whether he felt the story was true or not. "Books are for nerds." "And that's the tooth." James and Mason's various "characters", including but not limited to: The Man Who Knows Everything About Anime (James) The Man Who Has Never Heard Of Star Wars (Mason) The Man Who Has No Opinions on Radiohead (James) The most famous Spider-Man villain Corn of Coblin. James' son repeatedly asking for a big sandwich. James' son generally being an excellent source of content. e.g. "different pants", "Mason is a frog", "Mason is a pig rolling down a hill". Mason saying "You would" whenever James disagrees with him on something. During the run of Westworld Season 3, James would sing "Westworld" over the What Are We Reading What Are We Gonna Read" segment theme. James has continued to do this in virtually every episode since, long after the joke had any relevance or humor. The hosts have discussed that the joke had become burdensome and wondered how and when James will stop doing it. Starting with the film's reveal in 2019, James and Mason would come up with increasingly convoluted ways to refer to No Time to Die, which was only extended by the COVID-19 Pandemic, stretching out all the way to November 2021, when they were finally able to see the movie (after lockdowns lifted in their state). Within the "Best and Worst of 2020" episode, Mason insists on jokingly giving every category, good or bad, to Bloodshot regardless of how eligible it may be. Domhnall Gleeson, the British actor. "It's the spookiest time of the year, and I'm not just talking about bloody tax time." James answering random questions with "The Dark Knight, for Heath Ledger's performance alone" whether or not it makes any sense in context. From Caravan of Garbage, we have James attempting to connect pieces of trivia from various movies to the term "Blue Harvest", which Mason believes is the hardest he works each week. The Rodney supercut from the Caravan of Garbage episode of Man-Thing.
