Baseless Speculation

Next week the boys are flying out to the UK leaving behind Zammit. Not in like, a malicious way, he just can't make it due to wife being pregnant and it just felt a bit rude to go visit her home country while she is in no position to fly? But have no fear, James Sunday Movies (from the Weekly Planet) will be there (but no Mason)! Some tickets are still available or just opened up or sold out or has been and gone, depending when you are seeing this? If you're consuming this in like 2030 or whatever, what are you doing here? We'd love to know! And you can let us know by sending in an email to bsboyspod@gmail.com. By the way, we're taking a bit of time off due to the aforementioned UK trip, we'll be back in October sometime so rest up, let your brain cells bulid back up and your phone dry out from all the toilet water and we'll be seeing you in the UK.Did you know that during the Napoleonic Wars a French ship was wrecked in a storm off the coast of Hartlepool with the only survivor being the ship's mascot. Who was a monkey. In uniform (for the amusement of the crew). The Hartlepudlians, presumedly never seeing a monkey nor a Frenchman held an impromptu trial, found the monkey guilty of being a French spy and was hanged for its crimes.

JD is out with covid this week so Zammit and Jackson decided a good use of everyone's time was to answer some questions put forward by you, the listener, from the Sanspants+ Discord! If you want to send JD well wishes you can by sending them directly to at bsboyspod@gmail.com! Speaking of bsboyspod@gmail.com you can now send us email to an address we have the password to! If there's ever been a question you want answered by the three dumbest podcast hosts on the dumbest podcast on the internet now's your chance.Did you know that the most emailed address by any kind of ape is bsboyspod@gmail.com?

Best to give us 5 stars on Apple Podcasts as well. It's for the best. Don't let those apes win.

It's part 2 of the now I assume world famous two part d23 episode of Baseless Speculation. This time the boys are tackling all the animation anouncements, including a huge slate of sequels to classic Pixar and Disney films we all know and love. Toy Story 5 looks to be pretty good, as does the incredibles 3 probably.There's also a pixar tv show (Win or Lose) coming that looks pretty cute, and another one (Dream Factory) that seems mostly confusing. Disney also announced Frozen 3 and Moana 2, which could be good. Finally, there's Mufasa, a prequel to the Lion King that makes all the boys sick when they look at it. Also Jackson has an alarm for Spaghetti on his phone, for 8am. What's that about?Did you know that in the Jungle Book King Louie wants to be more human-like by gaining knowledge of fire but in reality if orangutans found out about jobs, taxes and rent, King Louie would be exiled for his idiotic desire to lead his people away from Nirvana.

Get ready for the very first two part BS episode, as the boys trawl through every Disney anouncement from D23. Before that though, Deadpool and Wolverine made a billy (and then some) so it's time to talk Zoos and make enemies. With that out of the way, let's see what Disney's got on the slate for the next couple of years. Tron's back, so is Freaky Friday for some reason, and David Blaine is doing magic still. Star Wars promises some future highs (Andor, Skeleton Crew) and possible crushing lows (Grogu and the Mandalorian). The MCU is still pumping out content with the new Daredevil: Born Again and Agatha All Along on the horizon. Most exciting of all, Avatar 3: Fire and Ash is coming, that's extremely exciting. For everyone.Did you know that in the live action remake of The Jungle Book, they made King Louie a Gigantopithecus instead of an orangutan as orangutans are not native to India and the film makers wanted it to be authentic as possible! A film about a feral boy raised by wolves. Who can talk to him. Where monkey want fire. Authentic. Gigantopithecus. Extinct for at least several hundred thousands years. Authentic.

The boys are a little tired from Deadpool & Wolverine but surely all the news that’s come out of Hall H in San Diego Comic-Con will perk them up?! It’s not like they’re tired of the dangling keys in front of their face? They love it when a thing is shiny! And the noise that key makes? You better believe that’s hootin n hollerin worthy. Can’t wait for the eventual Deadpool & the Exiles film but we can’t get too excited for that because we have Hall H news! Or should we say Hall H News? Really emphasis the importance with that capital letter. Bob’s back, but this time he is Doom. The response has been: mixed. We got a bit more about Fantastic Four that’s not soul crushing and we finally found out who Giancarlo Esposito is playing in Cappy America: Please Ignore Real World Geo-Political Events. Are we excited for any of this? Time will tell (no).Apparently only like, five days ago, chimpanzees may be capable of learning human-like words. Scientists watched some controversial footage of chimpanzees and they reckon they can do it with one saying “[g]reat apes can produce human words; the failure to demonstrate this half a century ago was the fault of the researchers, not the animals”. Now that should be capital N News. 

You knew this was coming. The movie which will decide who takes who to the zoo! If Deadpool & Wolverine don't make that billy Zammit is going to have his pockets turned inside out, looking sad while Jackson and JD get a free trip to the zoo! But if Deadpool & Wolverines make that billy? Then it's Jackson and JD with their pockets turned inside out, looking sad while Zammit gets a free trip to the zoo! Either way, a zoo is in our future and we're very excited about that. Do you reckon they'll let us feed and or touch an ape?? Surely they'll let us play Nintendo with a gorilla or something? If you work or know someone who works at some kind of gorilla sanctuary, hit us up. Let us shake hands with an ape and feed it leaves and shrubs or whatever! We promise we won't feed a gorilla spaghetti. Unless like, you want us to and actively encourage that?? No no. That would be silly. Right? Either way Deadpool needs to save his universe and to do so he needs to find a Wolverine and you better believe he meets some familiar faces along the way or whatever. Is this the greatest nerd movie ever made? Do the BS boys love it? Or did their souls leave their bodies? Fun fact, ape can eat pasta! too excited. Just learnt fact. Here video.

Immediately distracted, JD cannot be trusted to look at a laptop when discussing Captain America: Brave New World. A film that used to be called New World Order but that big rat quickly backpaddled on that one. It seems the rat is trying really hard to not be political and avoid anything that could be seen as controversial but then accidently being political and creating their own controversies! It's almost like not saying anything is in itself a political statement? Hard to say. But look, Sabra no longer works for the IDF, is a Black Widow and is called Ruth now! See! No controversies now! Don't look up what the actress playing her volunteered to do though, it's not important. What is important is there's a Red Hulk president! And someone tries to assassinate him! Surely that won't be controversial? All we're saying is that for not a Hulk movie there's an awful lot of Hulk characters and that the Young Avengers is not happening. Props for the big marble baby shoutout. Once again we're all reminded that Kingo is movies. Captain America: Brave New World in cinemas February 14 2025.While no apes have ever been president, a spritely baboon by the name of Jackie did reach the rank of Corporal in the South African army during World War I. Injured quite heavily during the war he received the Pretoria Citizens Service Medal. He made it home. Many, many soldiers did not.

Remember that meme? Agatha? It was her all along! From the Scarlet Witch? Wanda?! Beloved by everyone for a week maybe? Then they announced the Agatha show? And we were all excited? Then they gave us a couple of different names for the TV show because aha! It was a trick and a marketing genius move and not at all reshuffling? Anyways, we got a trailer for it and it’s CSI: Witch for a bit until it’s not. So let’s all enjoy three grown men try to remember what happened in Wanda Vision, guess at Agatha’s motivation and get waylaid by Bewitched and the two Darrens. While we do talk about Agatha Jackson and Zammit love to get sidetracked by imagining how they’d ruin a genie’s day and JD once again just wants media with an audience in mind. Maybe we’ll get a Ralph Boner cameo? Baseless Speculation gets the joke!While no ape has successfully practiced witchcraft (that we know of (now thinking about it, it’d be more appropriate to say that no ape has been observed successfully practicing witchcraft)), in Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Faust they go to a Witch’s Kitchen and a lady ape is tending to the cauldron. Some other apes are there chilling, playing dice, having a sing, chatting. They bring the devil a crown but as they are clumsy (like all apes) they break it in two. While not witches per se, they are her assistants and that’s neat!

It shouldn’t be this hard to make a vampire movie and yet here we are. Join us in a brief trip down memory lane as we walk through the many ups and downs of the MCU doing their darndest to make a Blade film happen. So many stinky scripts that sucked, a period drama that didn’t have one (1) Blade and everyone except us wanting to forget Eternals happened. All we know is that Blade is the antithesis to quips-laden MCU, Riz Ahmed may be the missing piece to this whole messy affair and sometimes the audience shouldn’t be you and that’s good. Even though a monkey as a vampire film would be incredible, Hollywood are cowards and haven’t made one. Apes are on everyone’s lips as Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes made back its budget and Godzilla x Kong was the 3rd highest-grossing film of 2024! It’s never been a better time to make some kind of incredible vampire ape film. Vapeire? Is that good? What about chimpanvamp? Dracuchimp? Now we’re cooking.
