Baseless Speculation

Kraven producer Matt Tolmach said they were "excited about [Kraven] and Christmas is the best release period there is, when you get people with time to go back to the movies over and over again. That was a real reflection of how the studio felt about the movie. We're really excited. But that's a great move that reflects just the feeling about the movie". Was he right? Is Kraven the kind of movie that benefits from multiple rewatches? We here at Baseless Speculation had to find out. So with no concern for our physical or mental health, your three favourite boys (who love movies, who love their friends and who love seeing movies with their friends) decided to watch Kraven four times in one day. That meant arriving at the cinema at midday and leaving at midnight. Is Baseless Speculation stupid for doing this? Yes. The answer is yes. We shouldn’t have done this. Matt Tolmach lied to you, he lied to us and he lied to himself. If there was any justice in the world he'd give us $168 AUD.Want to get in touch with your favourite boys?

It's the end of the year and the BS Boys have decided to take a break from speculating to answer questions from the BSBoys discord channel. Jackson pitches the greatest and most realistic Young Avengers treatment ever, Zammit envisions a genre bending Dexter Jetster cinematic universe, and Duscher (and Zammit) list movies for about twenty minutes. Seriously, if you love hearing movies listed then wow is this the episode for you. The back half of the episode is basically only that. See you in the new year!This episode's fun ape fact is that my child has wonderful hairy ears and often looks like a chimp when we try to burp him when he's sitting up. I love my chimp son.

The year is almost over and that means it's time for the BS Boys to look back over all the movies that got released and figure out what stupid lessons movie studios are going to learn for 2025. Jackson makes a pretty good prediction regarding Thunderbolts, Zammit thinks the Minecraft Movie is gonna do good, and Duscher yells at someone. Cinema rots on the vine and the BS Boys, like malicious little catterpillars, feast and feast and feast. At the movies!!While neither an ape fact nor did we discuss it in the episode, but we reckon next year (and every subsequent year) will be the year of the ape. Apes are gonna be on the big screen, the silver screen, your little machines and reality TV. Don't be suprised when you go to the movies, you'll be greeted by an ape while another ape hands you a popcorn. Need a seat warmer while you have to quickly run to the loo so you can drop your phone in the toilet? Ape got you covered. There's gonna be so much ape thrust upon you in 2025 you won't know what to do with yourself. And that's a Baseless Boys guarantee!Want to get in touch with your favourite boys?

It's a shock to everyone but Agatha All Along is actually pretty good. Probably the best Marvel TV show of the Disney+ era. Who'd have guessed? But now, with a certified hit on their hands, what's Disney Marvel gonna do with it? Jackson apologises for his lack of faith, Zammit predicts Agatha going into Vision somehow, and Duscher almost gets very sick. So join the boys as they walk the witches road together and try not to kill each other along the way.For today's sad ape fact, did you know that in certain parts of the world ape bones are used to make charms to render the user invulnerable to wild beasts? Ape body parts are used in medicine, trophies, ornaments, magic rituals, ceremonies and other cultural practices with the most sough-after and expensive being the ape's left hand as it holds particular spiritual power. You see, to the gods, ape equal to man so spirit of ape is as powerful as spirit of man. So why sacrifice man when ape will do? I mean, personally I'd sacrifice neither, but who am I to say?Want to get in touch with your favourite boys?

Marvel just released a bunch of tv trailers and announcements and that means it's time for Baseless Speculation to get back in the saddle and do some speculating. Zammit has some useful advice regarding babies and screens, Duscher thinks it's time for another American Pie, and Jackson is tricked by his good friends into agreeing to watch Defenders somehow. What show will be good? What if S2? Iron-Heart? Daredevil Born Again? Marvel Zombies? Eyes of Wakanda? Wonder Man? It is truly exhausting to have this much content.Did you know that Kanzi the Bonobo has a favourite film? It's Quest for Fire! Kanzi probably sees themselves in at least all of the main characters we reckon. That ape can also play Minecraft, make a campfire and cook food. We really are doing great stuff with apes.Want to get in touch with your favourite boys?

The BS boys are back and, well, not better than ever certainly but at least back to normal. It's time to talk about the future of the DCU and what the hell that's going to look like. Jackson becomes momentarily obsessed with water going up him, Duschers favorite superhero is revealed to be Gogmagog, and Zammit has faith in gun. Also everyone's Jerry Seinfeld impressions are good and accurate. It's like they never left!Did you know that the first reported case of gorilla's getting covid was at San Diego Zoo 2021? We can only assume they got it by performing to a large audience of other gorilla's at some kind of annual gorilla nerd convention. Want to get in touch with your favourite boys?

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.
