The Weekly Planet

Started listening to the boys when I was 3 years old. I just moved into the Linwood retirement home at the request of my grandchildren. This podcast has been the soundtrack of my life the whole time.

The Daily Planet is the newspaper in the fictional city of Metropolis from the Superman comic books. This is the lighter entertainment focused weekend edition of that newspaper. The people of Metropolis need something to distract themselves from the misery of living in a city that is constantly under attack from supervillains and alien monsters. This weekly edition focuses on such things as local sports teams, upcoming school events, concerts, bar & restaurant reviews and any news about local theater productions. The craziest thing is it’s all written up by two woke bros from England.

These guys saved my life. Found myself in a wild situation and remembered some advice that James and Maso gave a while back. "Don't accidentally run into a tennis shoe. Also don't accidentally run into a MURDEROUS CLOWN." I didn’t, and I didn’t. I’m here today because of these guardian angels.

Look, we kinda screwed the pooch here in America this week so it’s good to have an escape from how terrible things might be. James and Maso are hilarious, insightful, and endlessly entertaining. Whether it’s movie news, superhero debates, or random tangents, their chemistry makes every episode a joy. Also, the movie about the video game that was a recruitment tool for space aliens they didn’t know the title of was the Last Starfighter. I didn’t email or tweet it, but there it is.
