Jackson is so mad at Wonka that he forgot the golden rule of running a competition: the goal for the company, or in this instance, the man, is to get as much money as humanly possible. Jackson is so hellbent on Charlie becoming Wonka’s heir that he has perhaps forgotten that Willy Wonka is a famous dirtbag, liar and exploiter of workers. Perhaps with an incredible record setting year in chocolate sales, Wonka has picked this moment to scarper with all those funds and then give the key to his “fortune” to some stupid child who was too busy sucking down snozzberries to realise he had been scammed. Charlie is a literal child, he doesn’t know anything about taxes, shareholders or ROI. Two years down the line, he’s going to get a knock on the door while Wonka has disappeared into the wind, laying down on some beautiful island getting his snozzberry slopped off. We’d say not that island, but truth be told, would you be surprised if Wonka’s name appeared on a list? Charlie is going to rot in jail. Idiot child. Just like Jacksom.

Yoda - he gets to live in a swamp! Gamora? Gets to not be in a relationship with Chris Pratt. All wonderful green guys to be and we don’t even discuss these guys this episode! See.

Lena is joined by her buffoon co-hosts Joel, Joel and Jackson to eventually discuss the problems with superpowers in job interviews. Jackson displays a problematic amount of whimsy, JD is out for Jackson’s blood before we even start the show and Zammit and Lena have somehow synched up their lives.

Apple wouldn't let me write out the full title of this episode which is "48 PtDS Plus Would Should Wolverines Bones Be Coated In (later changed to Replaced With) Instead of Adamantium aka What Would You Coat Wolverines Bones in Instead of Adamantium". We're back talking about Wolverine bones but this time Zammit is here so we can't get anything wrong about X-Men ever and you CANNOT come for us in the comments.

We’re Duscher-less this week but we’re joined by George and Demi from Grin and Dandy to help answer another incredible pop culture question. This time we’re going back in time with only the information contained within our rotten brains to try and exploit those past-os for personal profit or financial gain. The only problem is we aren’t clever nor do we retain information well. Zammit tries a harebrained scheme to invent the wheel but gets too caught up in coconuts and doesn’t fundamentally understand how wheels work, Jackson wants to domesticate dogs early and wants to immediately break the rules and bring back a dog, George has a brilliant idea to make a cult and Demi wants to bring back an ear worm which made Zammit think of that horrible film he hates Yesterday so changes his answer to ensuring that he Yesterdays Yesterday.

The human body has so many superfluous bits and is lacking cool things like extra knees and we here at Plumbing the Death Star are the perfect trio to come up with brilliant and very smart ideas to change things up. Let's take a hard look at our beautiful bodies and just go buck wild with it. Swapping g******s? A little guy that does all our poops for us? A big eye on the top of our head on constant watch for big birds? All this AND Jackson has a weak little mouth on another exceptional episode of what is fundamentally a pop culture podcast.

Your boys have woken up in a lab, or possibly seen a guy who looks EXACTLY like them or simply walked into the Clones R Us store and are now having to figure out the conundrum everyone faces when dealing with a clone: which one of us is the butler? Zammit puts a lot on the line with a flip of a coin, JD revolutionises vets and Jackson's biggest problem is both Other Jackson and Himself. Having a clone? No big deal. Remembering the plot of the 6th Day? Now that's hard.

In an episode where they've never needed his b******t X-Men knowledge more, Zammit's out sick. But never fear true believer as he's been replaced by our good friend Darcy Smith from Studio Folly! Who knows NOTHING about X-Men. He didn't even know Wolverine aka Logan aka James Howlett bones were coated in adamantium. You all better come for him in the comments. They didn't even mention the time after Wolverine got the adamantium ripped from his bones where he turned into a full on cave man, wore a bandana and had no nose. Nor do the mention the time of how he got his adamantium back. You see, at the time, and unbeknownst to the rest of the X-Men, Apocalypse had kidnapped (man-napped? mutant-napped?) Wolverine and pitted him up against Sabretooth (who had been enhanced with adamantium from the arms of the evil mutant Cyber (he had arms coated in adamantium)) to see who would become Death (one of the Horsemen of Apocalypse). Wolverine defeated Sabretooth believing that only bad would come out of Sabretooth becoming Death and so Apocalypse sucked off the adamantium from Sabretooth to give to Wolverine. Even his teeth were adamantium at this point, but that didn't last. He was then made to attack the X-Men and he was all wrapped up in a red headscarf thing and wielded a big scimitar for reasons that are unclear. Probably to hide the fact that no one was supposed to know he was Wolverine as there was another Wolverine on the team, but not like his clone or his son or his clone of a clone, this one was a Skrull (one of those shapeshifting aliens) who was pretending to be Wolverine for some reason that escapes me. Did Apocalypse put him on the team or was that just a sweet coincidence? This was during Apocalypse: The Twelve storyline, which was something that was teased for so long in the comics but ended up being just a terrible mess where Apocalypse wanted to get sucked off into the body of Nate Grey (an alternate reality and all powerful son of Jean Grey and Scott Summers who was kicking it sweet in the 616 universe who later went on to become a mutant shaman, then become a bit of everyone, then he made an alternate reality where sex was forbidden which makes sense as he was tricked by an evil Madelyne Pryor from a different alternate dimension to have sex, which is weird as Madelyne is a clone of Jean Grey, his mum) but Scott Summers pushed him out the way and took his spot, so Apocalypse ended up sucking off Cyclops and then they merged into one guy and then choofed off for a bit to finally come back to cheat on his wife. So you guys better come for them in the comments. Didn't even know their plane was called the Blackbird. IDIOTS.

Or maybe it'd just make him go crazy quicker. A lot to think about.

Da boys have 'lympic fever as they each use their last few remaining brain cells to envision a universe where they could possibly win gold at any sport. Zammit wants to make Cold Horse an event and believes he should get one for reasons that are unclear, Jackson might not win gold but he will go down in annals of 'lympic fever and JD is so sleepy from all that jet lag and good Italian eating so sorry fellas, no 'lympic orgy for him! He's too busy being so sleepy and not at all stealing your gold medals while you're in the orgy pile.  It's the 'lympics, f***ing 'lympics in the winter, the winter 'lympics I'm cold, gonna get gold, i'm so cold It's the 'lympics, the winter 'lympics I'm gonna compete, i'm going skiing In the 'lympics, the winter 'lympics  it's the f***ing 'lympics The winter 'lympics, it's in it-a-la-ly Italian 'lympics, mamma mia Ah the 'lympics! The winter 'lympics! Ma ma ma mia, it's the 'lympics Italiano, ma mamia, cappuccino Winter 'lympics You're gonna win gold, you're gonna be cold It's the 'lympics, the f***ing 'lympics Links to everything at https://linktr.ee/plumbingthedeathstar including our terrible merch, social media garbage and where to become a subscriber to Bad Brain Boys+ Hosted on Acast.

Who could forget the 2011 Bradley Cooper vehicle ‘Limitless’? Where he, of course, as you remember, played worthless scumbag Eddie Mora who took so many limitless pills he became Mr Limitless and then eventually, probably, became Mr President (Still Limitless) we think?? Limitless! Take drugs! Have a big think! Fix your life! Maybe if we’d downed some before we hit record we could have come up with something better than Tinker Taylor Tooltime Al. Let us know if you came up with something better.
