From the Dungeons of Morningstar, I'm Clint.
And I'm Stretch. And this is Prevailing Strange.
Say mate, how's your week been? Not too bad.
It's a bit of a mindfuck. I think last week's
episode's audio was... A bit woeful. I've been
trying to figure that out. So hopefully this
week is a lot better. Well, it's always sounded
great to us. Yeah, it sounds good. It's great.
It's just when it gets into the computer, it's
a little bit woeful. Learning curves, friend.
Learning curves. Actually, before we go any further,
can I give a massive shout out for a second?
Sure. Happy birthday, Logan James Morningstar.
Love you, big buddy. Happy birthday, dude. This
week. Invincible wrapped up. Last episode was
last night. Did. We'll have a chat about that
in a little bit. Did you get around to watching
Daredevil Episode 3? Not Episode 3, no. Oh, okay.
And we won't talk about that this weekend. However,
I did, for the first time in a long time, I like
audibly screamed and cheered at the TV at Invincible
yesterday. Incredible. Invincible is incredible.
Incredible is Invincible. Yeah, something like
that. You've got a few new movies coming out
that you want to talk about? I do. There's a
few things to cover. I'm just going to shoot
the shit and see what comes out. Something that
really grabbed my attention was the lanterns
image that they put up. The HBO series? Yeah.
That's pretty exciting. Not much hit and miss
on HBO. No, it's all pretty good. It was the
whole. Grizzly held Jordan like he's been around
for a time. Yep. And the young Jon Stewart, the
image really, I'm liking it. Yeah, and I was
reading about it today. They are liking it to
a true detective type feel. Another great show
that was on HBO. Yeah. It's got big boots to
fill if it wants to be in that kind of... Well,
the first season of True Detective is still one
of the best seasons of television you'll ever
see. Yeah, some of the best television ever.
Incredible. Yeah. The whole small town, non -intergalactic
sort of version of it, I'm pretty excited for.
Yeah. The whole fact that it's going to be a
crime and they're just two lanterns investigating,
I'm excited. On the image, I think it's pretty
interesting that Hal Jordan... The ring doesn't
look like it's quite on his finger. It looks
like he's just kind of holding it. No, there
is a zoomed in image and it is on his finger,
but you don't see Jon Stewart ring yet. I was
going to say that, yeah. Yeah, so do you think
it might be a bit of a mystery kind of slash
origin story for Jon Stewart? I think so. I think
it's going to be Hal Jordan. He's getting to
the end of it. He's had a gutful. He's ready
to put his ring away and Jon Stewart being the
young. The young, like, he's a bit of a different
lantern than Hal. Yep. He's a bit more straight
edge. He's the actor that they've chosen for
it. Have you seen his other movie, Rebel Ridge?
Which one's that? Hal Jordan's? No, no, no. Jon
Stewart. Jon Stewart's actor. Yeah. Aaron Pierre?
Aaron Pierre. Pierre. Yeah. Absolutely check
it out. He's just captivating in it. Okay. Very
straight, very Jon Stewart. The whole role is
very Jon Stewart, just no bullshit. Yep. And
he's like, it's my way, leave me alone or I'll
destroy you. Yeah, right. It's good. I was just
thinking about Kyle Chandler, the actor who's
playing Hal Jordan in this. Yeah, he's been in
some shit. He's been around for a while. Yeah,
man. Whenever I see him, I can't help but think
about, did you ever watch early edition in the
late 90s? No. No. It was a great TV show, in
my opinion. Strange kind of concept. He'd get
tomorrow's paper every morning. Oh, yeah, right.
This is back when newspapers were a big thing.
And, yeah, often he'd go out and save little,
like, people and do little things. Yeah, it was
really good. Well, I mean, I've never watched
it since it came out. It could be fucking horrible
to go back and watch it again. What I want to
know is why are people sending the newspaper
and not the lotto numbers? Rude. Yeah. Inconsiderate.
Well, I think they did wrap it up. There was
a reason why he was getting it and everything.
It wasn't one of those shows that just ended
with no explanation. Yeah, right. That might
be worth doing a dive into again sometime if
you have a fun time. There's a show that I wanted
to actually reminded me of that. It was, you
know the original Mr. Fantastic? out of the Fox's
Fantastic Four. Yeah. I forget his name. Anyway,
he was in a show where he was immortal. Right.
And a person that he helped raise when he was
younger is now an old man and it's like he's
an off -sider who owns an antique shop and they
go around solving crimes. It was only out for
one season. You don't remember what it was called?
No. Yeah, see, if you'd told me the name, I'd
probably remember it. There was a fair few cool
shows back in the 90s and early 2000s that I'd
like to watch again. There was another one called
Mysterious Ways. Did you ever watch that? No.
He was a professor at a university and he was
kind of checking out local and national cryptid
sightings and the unexplained and going around
and debunking most of them. But it was a pretty
fun show to watch back then. The show was called
Forever, but it only aired for one season. It
was really – dude, Branchie actually told me
about it. I thought it was fantastic. Okay. Just
a really original concept of a show, and you
reminded me of it straight away when you said
early edition. I might have to actually give
that a watch. If you can find it. I've got my
ways. Yeah. Did you see that they cast Sinestro?
No. I was actually – I was concerned about having
Sinestro being as though he's – His story is
very galactic, very space -driven, and that they've
cast Sinestro in this show. Yep. So I wonder
if it's just going to be like a flashback to
when Hal was doing his old intergalactic policeman
sort of shit. Yeah, well, especially if it's
supposed to be kind of a dark, grounded series.
Yeah, I don't know. Time will tell. I am excited
for it. Ryan Reynolds' Hal Jordan was just Ryan
Reynolds playing Hal Jordan. Ryan Reynolds plays
Ryan Reynolds in everything. The whole thing,
that could have been a far better movie if they
just didn't rely on all the CG garbage and that
stupid cloud at the end. Yeah. This here, being
more grounded and it looks a lot more grisly
and more, I just think it's. I think it's going
to just be a really, really awesome show, dude.
And the fact that it's being handed over by Peter
Safran and James Gunn, I think it's going to
be a good thing. Speaking about HBO series, The
Last of Us, season two, comes out on the 13th.
Have you played the second game? I've never played
the games. Bro. The first game is Transcendent.
My friend Hemi put me onto it and said, you have
to play it. I never played it until probably
a year ago. It was just, I was actually playing
it whilst the show was airing. Right, yeah. Amazing.
Incredible. The whole adaptation of it, it was
meant for TV. Yeah. The second game is just a
kick in the teeth and a lot of fans liked Riot.
They didn't Riot, but they hated it. Yeah, right.
I'm still in the middle of playing it. I want
to finish it before the second season comes out
just to see hopefully they change it up a little
bit. Yeah, right. So is the second game the last
game or is there a third game? It is the last
game, but I think they're making a sequel to
the second game. I think I saw that they're making
a third game. But it actually won a fair few
awards. So many. Second game, yeah. They've just
remastered both games and it's available on Steam,
PlayStation 5, Xbox, blah, blah, blah. But. Look,
the gameplay is sensational. The story, it gets
a bit muddy in the second one. A bit convoluted.
But the first one is just so, dude, it's an almost
perfect game. And I think the ratings of that
actually show that it is top tier. You've got
to love a good story -driven game. You get a
PlayStation 4, don't you? I do. But, yeah, it's
usually used to play DVDs. Dude. Ghost of Tsushima.
Yep. You would love that. Okay. You would love
it. It's one of the – it's not one of the most
– it is the most beautiful game you can watch.
Just the cinematography of it is incredible.
It's like in feudal Japan, he plays a samurai.
He's got – his whole life's been wiped out by
Mongolians and it's just him trying to get to
the person who betrayed his lord and all that.
Beautiful game. Right. Fantastic game. As it
is with a lot of things in life, I don't have
a time to do most of them. And now we've just
started doing this. Yeah. So less time. Exactly
right. Another movie that's coming out that you
wanted to talk about, Novocaine with Jack Quaid.
And she has a really cool name. She was in Prey.
That chick deserves all the chops, man. She was
incredible in Prey. Yeah. That reinvigorated
the Predator franchise for me. Amber Midthunder.
That's badass. It's like Moon Bloodgood. Yeah.
Remember her? Yeah. Dude, she was awesome in
Terminator. But, yeah, Jack Quaid at the moment,
he's kicking ass, man. For a nepo baby. Yeah,
for a nepo baby. The boys just really has just
launched him into the stratosphere, and I think
it's been so good. He's funny as hell and charming
as shit. I do like the play on words for Novi
Kane. Nathan Kane, I think his name is. Nathan
Cain feels no pain. That's the general idea of
the movie. He's one of these people born with
congenital insensitivity to pain. I believe that's
what the condition's called. They basically do
not feel pain. That'd be nice because I hate
getting tattooed, man. I hate it. It hurts so
much. The girl of his dreams gets kidnapped and
pretty much he does. What do he need to do to
get her back? Dude, they're marketing it as like
a crank, a crank movie. Yep. But it's just, yeah,
it's going to be off its dick. But the whole
thing with that poor bastard can't hold a woman.
Yeah. The first episode of The Boys. Gone. Classic.
Yeah. It comes out on the 3rd of April. Holy
shit, that come around quick. Yeah. 79 % on Rotten
Tomatoes. Already? It hasn't even come out yet.
Yeah, yeah. Jesus. I mean. That'll be the professional
critic reviews. Oh, they would have already seen
the screeners and shit, yeah. The premiere. Yeah.
The people who don't like movies, they just criticise
everything about them. They get to see it first.
Piece of shit. That's right. There's a sci -fi
thriller coming out shortly called Ash. Have
you seen the trailer? No, have not. Isa Gonzalez
stars in it. She's the main character who wakes
up and everyone's dead. She's trying to figure
shit out. And then Aaron Paul rocks up out of
nowhere. Oh, I like Aaron Paul. There's a lot
of visuals of her outside of her base on this
planet. A bit of ash fall, but there's kind of
these geometric shapes pulsing in the sky. Dripping
balls. Yeah, I think so. Very visceral -looking
kind of action. Yeah, right. And, yeah, it looks
like some kind of psychological. Yeah, you're
right. I'd love to watch that. I'd love to watch
that trailer when we finished here. But, dude,
back in the day when I was a movie pirate, they
used to have like the Apple, you used to go to
the Apple website, and they'd have all the trailers
for the next 12 to 18 months come out. And you
could just scroll and watch all these trailers.
Man, I used to spend hours on there just watching
trailers. I might have to get into doing that
again because trailers are sick. They are sick.
I think they should have their own. category
in the Emmys if they don't oh dude the people
you okay you gotta try to in a 2 minute 20 clip
you've gotta sell a movie without giving it away
without giving it away and you've majority of
the time they've only shot a quarter of the film
yeah special effects aren't finished they're
brushed together and you've gotta sell this film
to the masses yeah you deserve some recognition
dude you do I think I just saw there was the
second trailer for Thunderbolts coming out and
it had a completely different feel to the first
trailer. Yeah. You're still guessing about what's
going to happen in this movie. Yeah, it had a
very, I wouldn't say Woody Allen, but had a kind
of arthouse -y look to it. Yeah. Which was pretty
interesting, whether that tone reflects in the
movie or not. Who fucking knows? I still don't
know what is going to happen in this movie, dude.
I don't know who the villain is. I don't know
who the... Speaking of trailers, I heard a theory
today. Yep. Put a pin in the thunderbolts for
a second. Dude. John Malkovich. You know how
last week we were trying to figure out who John
Malkovich is? Yep. Franklin Richards. Oh. Uh
-huh. Yeah. Oh. Yes. Okay. Yeah. Yes. Because
it was brought up the theory on first steps.
Yeah. Being not actually the fact that as a team.
It's not Fantastic Four's first steps. Not their
first steps. That it probably is alluding to
the first steps of Franklin Richards. Yeah. Who
is their first child, which would kind of make
sense in the name in the same way they did with
Homecoming and Spider -Man. Mm -hmm. Yeah, okay.
I had seen that on Comic Book Movie yesterday
afternoon. Right. And I'm like, whew, that's
a hot take. Yeah. Well, either either. Doom or
Franklin Richards. I don't care who it is. Yeah.
John Malkovich is the king. He made me excited
for a bloke who picks his nose. You know you're
a good actor when you can do that. Dude, because
I love the... Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
series. When he was cast as Hummer Kavula, I'm
like, yeah! I've still only ever read the first
book. Dude. I haven't read the rest of them.
Yeah. Are they as good as the first one? Look,
the first book, the movie is three books. Is
it? Yeah. So it's three different books. And
the movie is still one of my guilty pleasures,
man. It's one of my favourite movies of all time.
I don't see why that would be a guilty pleasure.
It was a great movie. Such a good movie. And,
dude, Alan Rickman, one of the greatest actors
that ever lived, playing a depressed robot, just
absolutely slayed it. Yeah. And it just made
you... I love that movie. And Sam Rockwell in
it is just absolute gold as a president. And
it's... I love that movie. There's nothing I
can say bad about it, except that they didn't
make sequels. It wasn't long enough. No. That's
something I'll have to dive into, finishing those
off, because was it the Trilogy of Five? I think
it was Five Books. Trilogy of Five, exactly.
But, what's his name? Stephen Fry narrates them.
They're just so digestible. You just don't want
to turn your phone off when you're listening
to it. Easy listening. Oh, he's so good. I won't
go spoiling the end of Daredevil for you because
you haven't watched it yet. Okay. They're saying
that they're going to hold off on Frank Castle
to next season. But we see at the end of episode
two, the blood hit the floor. Them cops, one
of them for sure doesn't walk away. They were
teasing a courtroom procedural. when it went
over to Disney. And is this going to be where
the courtroom procedural comes in because they're
going to arrest Matt Murdock and he's going to
have to do the Born Again storyline from where
he was charged with murder and he had to defend
himself in the court of law? Is this what they're
getting around to? And because when you look
at the trailer for this season, the first season
of Born Again, but the fourth season of Daredevil.
When you watch the trailer and he's talking to
Frank Castle, it looks like they're in jail.
It does, yeah. There's going to be something
that you see in the third episode, which I think
will steer away from that idea that you just
had of Matt Murdock having to defend himself.
That could still come up, but I think it will
steer away from that. Dude, there's 18 episodes.
18? 18. 18 episodes in this season. I mean, surely
we're going to get... There has to be a break.
There'll be a break, yeah. But surely we're going
to see Frank Castle rock up at some point. Yeah.
Because he has his own special coming out. Yes.
That's just been announced on Disney+. Yep. So
special is not quite a movie, not quite an episode.
Kind of like what they did with Werewolf by Night.
I love... Did you watch that? Yeah, it was fantastic.
Did you watch the colour version as well? No,
I haven't. Don't? Yeah, I think I'll stick with
the black and white. The black and white was
what, it was so engrossing. Yeah. Loved that.
Yeah, very, kind of felt like Sin City. Yes.
A little bit. Yeah. And Vincent Price, very Vincent
Price back in the day. So well done. So well
done. I think you would lose some of the contrast
of some of the shots if you went to watch the
coloured version. Exactly right. You're really
taken out of the story. Because I watched the
black and white version first. I just wish they
didn't release the coloured version. Now, Justice
League, the Zack Snyder Cut, complete opposite.
You don't make Superman and Wonder Woman black
and white. There's no point. Yeah. Was that black
and white or was there a black and white version
as well? There was a black and white version.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. They released that after the
colour version, like the Zack Snyder cut, but
there was no need. Yeah, I don't see the reason
why you would do that. I didn't watch that one.
Yeah. That movie was probably an hour longer
than it ever needed to be. Yeah. It could have
been two movies. It could have been. Easily.
There was a lot of stuff he threw in there just
because he couldn't. Just because it was filmed.
He's like, oh, you know, they've given us a million
dollars. The singing by the sea scene was trash.
Yeah. Like why? He's gone. Why are you singing?
He can't hear you. Yeah. There was a lot of scenic
shots. And a lot of slow -mo shots too that weren't
needed. No. Zack Snyder needs to dial it back
on a slow -mo. Yeah. And J .J. Abrams needs to
back off with a lens flare. Yeah. Yeah, I do
like a good lens flare, though. As long as it's,
I mean, he does it in every movie, but as long
as it's only in key moments. Have you not seen
Star Trek? Yeah, well, I mean, there's plenty
of opportunity for lens flare in Star Trek. In
Star Trek, yeah. There's a lot of screens, a
lot of polished stuff. I love Star Trek. I thought
that was just sensational, even if you didn't
like the original season, the original series.
Well, see, the difference is I enjoy it for its
own thing. Yeah. Where I used to like watching
Star Trek, but it's very different to kind of
watch. It's a very philosophical type show. I
never sat down and watched it religiously. It
was only... Background filler. Yeah. A lot of
those episodes are just silly. Trash. Yeah. Dude,
that's like they say about Doctor Who. They're
like, oh, greatest TV, longest running TV show.
Dude, I've never watched a single episode. I
watched it as a kid up until the hiatus. Yeah,
right. And then never watched it after it came
back. Well, David Tennant, they reckon, is like
top tier Doctor. Yeah. So I think I want to watch
his version of the Doctor. Oh, man. I think if
you were to dive into just to watch One Doctor,
you're going to be fucking confused. Really?
Oh, dude, there's so much going on in that show,
so much meta. And, like, even just some of the
bad guys, that they've reused the exact same
costumes back from the early days. Right, okay.
So they look like shit costumes for these. back
then. Yeah. They've just reused them. Fantastic.
They haven't redesigned them like the Daleks
and the fucking the Spacemen or whatever those
robots are called. They all look horrendous.
They probably looked great back in the 70s when
it came out. But they've just pulled it out because,
like, guys, we can save some money here. I don't
think it's that. I just don't think they want
to kind of... It's like in Firefly. Can you ever
remember Firefly? Yeah. Where all the costumes
are from Starship Troopers? Starship Troopers,
yeah. Like, oh, we'll just paint them purple.
Yeah, fantastic. Two epic, epic space operas.
Oh, yeah. I love them. Yeah, wasn't Starship
Troopers something different when it came out?
Oh, dude. The thing is, though, with Starship
Troopers, you watch the first one, the special
effects, you're like, oh, get, this is sick.
And then you watch the sequel. Well, that's the
problem. You watch the sequel. The sequel looked
like it was made on MS Paint. Yeah, I didn't
watch it. It was tragic. Yeah. And then they
brought back Casper Van Damme and he done, I
think it was the third one. It was even worse.
And this was like, we're talking 12 years later.
Yeah. Technology has come a long way. They're
like, oh, the first one made all the money. It's
a cult classic. We can invest. No. They're like,
here you go, mate. Here's a pack of Winnie Reds
and a packet of chewing gum. Make it work. And
they're like, this is what we got. Trash. Absolute
garbage. Yeah, okay. I wonder what they based
that on because, like, the first movie was based
on the book, but at the same time, it wasn't
a direct adaption either because they had that
whole kind of procedural kind of documentary,
mockumentary type thing going on with it. I think
that made the movie. Yeah. You know, the cuts
to the school kids just holding onto these massive
rifles and these big arms. They're stomping on
these bugs and the teacher's like, ah! Yeah.
What the fuck? But I'll still re -watch Starship
Trippers all the time. So good. Not one of the
best, but it's definitely re -watchable. Oh,
yeah. Yeah. Me mate Solomon's got actually the...
The roughnecks tattoo? Yeah. I'm like, dude,
that's so good. Not everybody would get it. No.
And the people that get it would probably love
it. Yeah. I love it, dude. And it's so well done.
Yeah. It's so good. Well, speaking about The
Punisher and John Barenthal. Yes, sir. He's writing
the special. Speaking about John, have you seen
he's in The Accountant 2? Well, yeah, he was
in the original one, so I'm like, I'm glad he's
coming back for that. But did you also see that
him and our, not our OG Punisher, but my Punisher,
Thomas Jane. Thomas Jane, yeah. They were at
the firing range and it's just the two Punishers
walking around with these guns, man, just doing
target practice and shit and just walking around
having a good time. I'm like, multiverse. That's
sick. Yeah, I don't remember him being in the
first account. Yeah, it was Ben Affleck's brother
at the end. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's been a minute
since I watched it. Another great movie that
can't be out of nowhere. Yeah. Had no right to
be as good as it was, but it was so, so good.
Yeah. But it looks like he plays a much bigger
part in this one. Right. Much bigger role. Yeah,
it looks like a fun ride. I really, really, really
enjoyed the first movie. And when you go to the
accountant, it's like, oh, the pianist. Maybe
that's shit. And I'm like, do I really want to
watch this guy play off calculator? And it's
like, Ben Affleck, is he counting? I'm like,
ooh, let's watch the trailer. And then it was
just violence. And I'm like, yes. Yeah, he is
a cool character. Yeah, dude. Had a very particular
way about just slaying people. Yeah, and like
in the orphanage he grew up in, he's Handler.
is actually the chick who we first met when he
was put into the orphanage. And she's non -verbal,
but she talks to her computer. And they're both
just these absolute geniuses in their field and
what they're doing. I'm like, yeah, okay, I can
dig this. Good stuff. The whole coming back to
the lanterns, which is where we started with
this little conversation, Is his name Chandler?
I believe so, yeah, Kyle Chandler. Kyle Chandler.
He's always sort of had a real punchable face
to me. It's sort of weird. Yeah, no, I get that,
yeah. And when you see him in, he's in Godzilla.
He is. I liked, I didn't mind his character in
that. So when they go, oh, Kyle Chandler as Helljoy,
I'm like, he's fucking old. What are we going
to do with that? It would be cool to see washed
up Hal Jordan. Exactly. And then when I say,
no, Jon Stewart's going to be the lantern, Hal
Jordan's going to be teaching the ropes, I'm
like, all right. All right. I can deal with that
because you've got Hal Jordan who's the quippy,
witty, little fucking smartass, and then you've
got Jon Stewart who's almost like the polar opposite.
And I think the guy they cast, man, is legit.
He's got chops. Look, you need to watch Rebel
Ridge. I recommend it to anyone. It's also got
the bloke out of the OG Hawaii Five -0. I can't
remember his name. But he was also in Harley
-Davidson and the Marlboro Man. And he's just
a corrupt cop. He's a bit of a douchebag. And
it's good. It's Aaron Pierre just kicking the
snot out of police and disarming them in the
most amazing ways. Okay. Because he's just there
to chill out, relax. He wants to... quieten down
a bit, but he's one of the most special ops Marines
that have ever been trained, and he actually
trains all the other Marines. Right. So it's
all his unarmed tactics and unarmed shit. So
he doesn't kill anyone and the whole thing, but
he just beats the snot off people. And it was
a good watch. So, yeah, Rebel Ridge, give it
a go. Kind of sounds like, but not the same as
a lot of Jason Stratham movies. Like he's got,
what's the one that's coming out at the moment?
Working Man. Beekeeper. Beekeeper. The mechanic.
Yeah. Yeah. Just a hard man, has a random job
and... Throw him into this situation where he
kicks everyone's ass for some reason. The beekeeper.
Who the hell put that? Who pitched that? I've
got a movie. I'm not even sure. Is he a legit
beekeeper in the movie or is it some kind of
play? I don't know. I haven't watched it because
it's titled The Beekeeper. And I'll watch this
chick on YouTube who saves the bees. And that's
all she does is goes around and gets all these
bees nested around people's floorboards and walls
and shit. Gets them out by hand, just picks them
up, and I'm like, you fucking psychopath. And
I'm like, is this what he's going to be doing,
just going around collecting stuff? But apparently
it's quite violent, so I might have to give it
some time. You're pretty much guaranteed for
violence whenever Jason Stratham's in the movie.
Considering he started life as a ballet dancer.
No, he was a high diver. That's right. An Olympic
high diver. That's right, and soccer player.
Oh, no, that was Vinnie Jones. They had to kick
him out. Yeah, because he was too rough. He was
too fine. Yeah. Lucy in it. Oh, shit. Get me
Brits mixed up. It is pretty funny to see the
old footage of Jason Stratham doing the high
dive, all the acrobatics in it. I have not seen
him do it. Yeah. Jason Statham, Jeremy. What
did I say? Stratham. Statham, sorry. Jesus. I
think he had hair at the time. Well, that would
have been a long time ago. Yeah. It was a while
ago. But see, here we go. The Transporter, The
Beekeeper, The Mechanic. And what's this new
one he's got coming out? The Working Man. The
Working Man. The Mechanic 2. I'm surprised. It
should have been called The Crank. The Crank,
yeah. And The Crank 2. They were pretty funny
movies, Crank. Dude, that... Where he's having
sex with his missus in the bus stop and there's
just everyone watching and he's just... And then
he'd done it again at the horse track in the
second one. Yeah. Had to keep the heart rate
up. Yeah, had to keep the heart rate up. He's
just sitting there, jump a cable on his nipples.
I thought it was so good. Yeah, it was pretty
funny. I'm going to have to re -watch those.
Classics. Invincible. After talking about it
last week... Went and watched second and third
seasons. Same. Ah, what a ride. Dude, my boy
Jack, he's like, you have to watch it. And I'm
like, well, I've seen the first season, mate.
And it was brutal and I can't really watch it
when your brother's home. He's like, but you
have to watch it. So I'm like, okay. So I put
the second season on in the tattoo shop while
I was working. And I was just sort of playing
in the background and there were some key moments
where I got to have a glance up. The ride that
I went on for the third season was holy shit.
And then me and Jack -Jack sat at home yesterday
and we watched the finale together. And like
I said, it was the first time in a while that
I've literally screamed and cheered at a TV you'd
have seen. I liked the fact that we got that
jump in animation for the last episode. Some
great looking... Shots. See, and that's what
I was talking with Jack about yesterday. Everyone
was complaining online about the animation for
the second season, especially the sixth and seventh
episode. I didn't run into it. I didn't run into
it. I guess I wasn't watching close enough to
see the hiccups in the animation. It wasn't that
bad, but there were scenes where they kind of
held on a beat when I think it was Immortal was
returning to Earth after confronting Alan. Yep.
and he just kind of floats away. But instead
of kind of getting smaller and zooming out, he
just floats towards Earth, and it looks like
they've just highlighted that character and dragged
him across the screen. But did you see the...
Did you actually make fun of that? I did not.
Did you not see that? Oh, no, I saw the episode
where they're talking about... Like, you hide
the mouth behind the newspaper, and you just
don't animate stuff from behind. It's like, you're
not just making fun of that shit. Yeah, no, that
was good. Bit of... Bit of fourth wall breaking.
Yeah. I liked it. Yeah, it was good. Some of
the parodies of mainstay characters throughout
the show is one of my favourite things. When
he was being thrown between different realities,
there was a Spider -Man analogue referring to
Batman. Yeah, there was a few of them. Dude,
Robert Kirkman, I tell you, he's got to be the
most... He's got to be the most wealthy comic
book writer of all time at the moment. He's done
pretty well. Just in Walking Dead, Invincible.
Holy shit. I don't think he has too many other
comics. I know he's done a run of Seance Dog.
I'm going to have to read that. As for that,
I think most of them are plays on both. I think
there's a Rick Grimes 3000. And it's Rick Grimes
in the future with what looks like a lightsaber.
Oh, stop it. Yeah, like kind of one -shot thing.
Yeah. I think they're his mainstays. I mean,
Walking Dead ran for a long time. Still running.
Invincibles ran for a long time. Well, Jack was
telling me, tattooist Jack who works here, he
said that because he's really well -versed in
the books, he said if they keep going at this
pace, they'll have two more seasons. Yeah. So
I love that they've got an end in mind. And the
premise of, you know, comic books usually go
on forever and ever and ever and ever, and when
they're done, they just reboot the character
and they start from scratch again. The thing
with Invincible, the fact that it's got a start,
a middle and an end, you're going to get a wrap
-up of the story. I'm excited for that. Yeah,
well, it's got one main arc, doesn't it? That's
the premise from the beginning of Ultramarts
and their kind of reign over the universe. At
some point, they're going to... take over or
take them down or attempt to or attempt to yeah
that'll end there but there's a lot of time to
cover between now and then especially with i
think they mentioned that nolan said one of the
last things nolan said there was less than 50
full -blood viltrumites in the universe yeah
which uh kind of makes it more realistic um i
did enjoy that little arc of alan the alien and
nolan in the in the prison in the viltrumite
prison yeah that was pretty fun As you said,
Alan the Alien, he's one of my favourite characters
in the entire thing. Just keeps giving. Yep.
And Beast. Battle Beast, dude. Battle Beast,
yeah. Holy shit. Yeah. I like, yeah, he's just
constant rage and wants to bash people. Do you
know anything about the comic run? Nope. Yeah,
okay. I went in absolutely blind. That's probably
good because I know what's in store for Battle
Beast. Yeah. Wow. Dog. It could be good or it
could be bad. You don't know. Yeah. Sure. Yeah.
Spoiler alert. Yeah, maybe. Mm -hmm. That wasn't
a fart by me, by the way. What the fuck is that?
Who knows? We had K2SO fly off the shelf last
week. We're going to have something else come
through that fucking door in a minute. I saw
there was a crystal over there. What's the deal
with that? Well, yeah. One of the girls, Ebony,
brought me down a crystal, and she's got me some...
Tarot cards? She got me some blessed tarot cards
down there. So just to keep us protected from
whatever's down here. But yeah, K2SR. Have you
anchored him down this week? No, no. If he comes
flying at me and it's... Well, you know the worst
part. If Optimus comes flying off that shelf,
you're going to get a concussion, friend. I'm
more worried about my computer than sitting right
below it. That'll be all right. Air insurance
isn't good here, by the way. No, it's all right.
I ain't afraid of no ghosts. Oh, here we go.
Are you off topic? We'll get back to this in
a second. While I've got this in my mind. One
Holy Grail movie that can't be rebooted. That
shouldn't be rebooted. Lord of the Rings. Fucking
joke. No, you're not a fan. I said one movie,
not one rolling piece of trash. Come on, mate.
Dude, it's not good. It's fucking great, that's
right. No, it's not good. Mate, you would be
one of the only people I know that do not like
Lord of the Rings, especially somebody who enjoys
tabletop games as well. My friend Emily O 'Brien,
she hates Lord of the Rings. She's got taste
in her ass as well. Sorry. I don't think she'll
watch this, but if she did, she's probably going
to headbutt me next time she sees me. She loves
Lord of the Rings. Set up. Yeah, bait and switch.
But, come on, one movie. One movie. One series,
one movie, one trilogy, one anything. Go. Lord
of the Rings. Oh, stop it. Man, like, how could
you? Reboot that. I know there is talk about,
I think they're going to make movies in that
universe. I don't think they're going to touch
and redo them, reboot them at all. Why? Why would
you think they wouldn't do them again? Knowing
how much they left out of those books, knowing
the character depth that are in the books, I
hated the books. I'm not going to lie. It was
a very in -depth story. Characters were deep
and broad. They were massive. And you're telling
me that you can't reboot that series? No. If
you reboot, they wouldn't put Tom Bombadil in
the reboot either. Well, they're making a story
with Tom Bombadil in it. Potentially. But it's
going to be a side thing. It's not going to be
part of the whole war. As long as he's not bopping
around through the forest singing, I'm John Bumbadoo,
Bumbum, Bumbadoo, Bumbadoo. I couldn't. I don't
like Lord of the Rings. Well, it's funny because
I read Lord of the Rings after I saw Fellowship
for the first time when it came out. Right, okay.
So you read the books after. I read the books
after. Right. I'd watched the movie, fucking
loved it, and was like, I need more. And this
is, I was in high school. And the most I'd ever
read was kind of goosebumps in primary school.
Right, same. Yep. Up until then, had no interest
in reading, but I needed to know what happened
going forth. Yep. So picked up the book, read
the first book. It was a slog, especially for
a first book. Yes. Funny story. I picked it up
and it was... the edition that was the entire
Lord of the Rings. So it was all three books
in one. I'm like, oh, I'm just going to skip
through to maybe, I don't know, just this far
into it. It's not the end, so it's not going
to ruin the story for me. I've still got, yeah,
that's probably five or six chapters left. I
just want to read what happens. And no word of
a lie, I open it up on the scene where fucking...
Gollum bites the ring off the finger of fucking
Frodo and falls into Mount Doom. I'm like, you've
got to be fucking kidding me. You dick. I'm a
dick. And I'm like, what happens in the rest
of this fucking book? After I eventually read
it and found out that... A whole heap of nothing
happens. A whole heap of wrapping up happens.
Well thought out kind of wrapping up of the story.
This epic. I thought it was fantastic. It took
me a while to read, but what did I start talking
about that for? Because I asked you for a movie.
To reboot, yeah. That you can't reboot. The amount
of awards that movie won, the scale of the production,
the characters, I really couldn't see some of
those characters being recast. Did you know Russell
Crowe was originally wanted for... Fucking V
.M. Mortensen's role. Yeah. Actually, I was actually
telling Steph about this. Townsend. Not Devin
Townsend. He's a singer. The one that played
Lestat. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Stuart Townsend.
Stuart Townsend, that's it. So he was the one
to play Aragon. They had him on set. That was
Warner Brothers. Apparently Peter Jackson wanted
Viggo Mortensen from the beginning. Yeah, well,
that's why Russell Crowe didn't take it because
he was a fellow New Zealander of Peter Jackson's.
Yeah, and he knew that Peter Jackson had somebody
else in mind and Warner Brothers kind of pushed
for that. Right. And he said no because he knew
that Peter Jackson, Stuart Townsend, was there
on the set. and was notoriously hard to get along
with, wouldn't come out of his trailer. Yeah,
the worst part about that, he still would have
got paid for the entire movie. Yeah. Pretty much
set him back a little bit and then something
happened, some kind of fallout where they're
like, pack your bags, fuck off. You're a shit
actor, get out. Pretty much. Peter Jackson got
Viggo on the phone and said, hey, can you come
do this? He was there within the week. Oh, shit.
And just the fact that he would... get up, get
dressed in his costume, and he would hike to
the set. He wouldn't catch the bus or the helicopter
or whatever with everybody else. That's why you're
so shit now, because he was exhausted all the
time. He would hike to set so he'd get that kind
of sheen on him, you know. Instead of a spray
bottle? Yeah, to make it look like he was dirty
and living like a ranger on the land and stuff.
Pull your fucking head in. It's a movie of a
generation, mate. Yeah, the fucking forgotten
generation. Jesus, we should all forget those
movies. I would like people to kind of... Weigh
in. If anyone watches this, weigh in on whether
Clint's right or I'm fucking right about Lord
of the Rings being one of the greatest movies
ever. The Hobbit was the only movie I've ever
walked out on. Yeah, they can reboot The Hobbit.
Just not the original Lord of the Rings. I thought
The Hobbit was better than Lord of the Rings.
You would. You liked Aquaman. I do. I'm going
to re -watch it later and send you screenshots
of it. I'm just going to skip past all the Amber
Turd bits. Okay, well, seeing as we're playing
this game, what movie or series would you never
reboot? Firefly. Even if there was a potential
for it to continue on and finish that? Can't
do it. Can't do it. Wash is dead. Wash is dead.
The person who played the preacher. He's passed
away in real life. I think, let's face it, Joss
Whedon's not going to be directing anything anytime
soon. It doesn't have to be Joss Whedon. He's
baby. I said the cast though. And at the moment,
Nathan Fillion's pretty booked. That's true.
Without Wash, you can't have that show. Okay.
And the fact that he's dead now is kaput. You
can't, and you can't very well, like the way
he passed away, the way he died in Serenity,
tore my heart out, dude. I think it was one of
the first times I've actually, well, no, Dot
and the Kangaroo was the first time I cried in
the movie, but shut up. And this was the, him
getting impaled at the end of Serenity. Yep.
Still one of the hardest scenes I've ever watched.
Okay. It's tough. I get that. We talked about
movies that we wouldn't reboot. What movie or
series do you want to see rebooted? I want to
see another Blade. And did you see the news?
Segway. No, I did not. Kevin Feige and Masala
Ali. I hope I'm not butchering his name. They
are moving forward. They may have found the script.
The script. Good stuff. So I'm like. Gags and
pies. Pumped. Excited. Blade. Blade. Now, saying,
I don't think that would be a reboot. It would
be like a multiversal thing. Because let's face
it, Wesley Snipes' Blade is untouchable. That
first movie is, that's up there with Iron Man
in the realm of perfect movies, I think. I think
I'd probably go League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen? Yes! Yes,
sir. As much as I liked the first one, I would
like to see that get more love. I really would.
Yeah. Today's technology. I want to see more
of that Alan Quartermain story. I want to see
that story where he went to the desert. I want
to see where he's going to Africa. I want to
see that. I want to see more of that movie without
Stuart Townsend. I'm a big fan of whenever they
use public domain characters. You had Nero. Yeah.
Nemo, sorry. Nemo, Nemo. But like in series where
they've used them, there's League of Extraordinary
Gentlemen. Did you ever watch Penny Dreadful?
No. No, I didn't. It was fantastic. Got cancelled.
Wrapped up really quick kind of shit. Right.
But it was good. Good show. Good show. I watched
Grimm. Grim, yeah. It wasn't too bad. I never
watched it. It wasn't too bad. But yeah, I kind
of like that ensemble of all the... So Universal
was going to launch their Dark Universe. That's
right. And they began that with Dracula. What
Dracula are you talking about? Was it Dracula
2000? What was it called? Dracula Untold. Dude,
great movie. Great movie. And at the end... There
was the cut scene where he's in the future. So
then the next movie that came out was The Mummy.
Now, a lot of people thought it was going to
be a reboot of the Brendan Fraser thing and it
had Tom Cruise in it. Russell Crowe. Russell
Crowe that played Dr. Jack or Mr. Hyde. Yep.
So he was going to be the one to assemble this
cast. I was looking forward to that because I
didn't mind that movie. Yeah. And they had it
kind of laid out. They had a wolfman coming in.
Well, there was a... Guillermo... Oh, not Guillermo
del Toro. He played the collector in Guardians.
He was also in... Snatch. And Sicario. Oh, yes.
Great movies. That's a fucking great movie. I'll
watch that again. That end scene was just...
Again, written by Taylor Sheridan, the bloke
who'd done Yellowstone. Yeah. Blanco? Blanco
del Toro? Benicia del Toro. Benicia, yeah. So
there was a whole slate of movies that they were
going to bring out. I think there was going to
be the monster of the Black Lagoon and they were
going to do a whole kind of in -universe type
thing. They need to do it. It died in the ass.
It needs to be done. It needs to be done. But
Russell Crowe's version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde was quite good. He didn't have that giant
transformation like Hulk. And he had that kind
of cat eye kind of glow going on and very menacing
looking aura about him. Just his accent change
was enough. Yeah. I liked it. It was cool. That
was kind of a wasted opportunity. Yeah. And it
had such a great cast. It did. It had big names.
Such a great cast. Yeah. I think Tom Cruise probably
would have ended up being like the Alan Quatermain
kind of character to kind of wrangle these. Yeah.
to run them down into submission. Yeah, well,
I don't know whether they would have been bad
guys or what it would have been because the Dracula
character, he was a good guy. Yeah, he wasn't
a bad guy. And like in The Mummy, Tom Cruise's
character went up against The Mummy. Yeah. Yeah,
it would have been interesting, but we'll...
Alas, we'll never see what happens there. No.
As well as Penny Dreadful, the way it ended.
We'll never see what happened there. It was really
good. I'd still recommend watching that because
it was fun right up until it ended. It had that
Justin Hartman in it, didn't it? Yeah, he played,
well, I don't want to ruin it for you now, the
American in it because it's set in industrial
London. So was the American a character or he
was just playing an American? He was playing
an American. That is one of those characters
that won't ruin which character he is. Oh, it's
not Billed as that at the start. You find out
along the way. Yeah, you find out along the way.
Right, okay. Ava Greene plays kind of a witch
in it. Has some kind of on -again, off -again
romance with Satan pretty much. Nice. And yeah.
Say nice, get such a bad rap, man. Yeah. One
of the better kind of contemporary portrayals
of... Frankenstein's monster too, innit? Yeah,
no ask. Fantastic. As opposed to being, why?
The opera singing Frankenstein's monster. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. I actually saw a pretty interesting
fact about Mary Shelley, the mother of sci -fi.
She, actually her husband passed away in a shipwreck,
I think it was. When they cremated him, his heart
refused to burn, basically. It didn't burn in
the cremation. And she kept it in her writing
desk up until her death. It's pretty metal. That's
metal as fuck. Yeah. His unburnt heart wrapped
in his own poetry. Metal as fuck. That's metal.
Yeah. That's fucking metal. Yeah, it's cool.
But yeah. God damn. That's a story, dude. You
can't do that shit these days. No. Get a jail.
Apparently. Apparently. I don't know. Were we
talking about Invincible to begin with? I think
we were, weren't we? Mate, this is what happens.
That's what happens, yeah. So, Invincible. We
finish episode seven with, spoilers, Conquest.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Yeah, baby. I'd seen a lot
of fan casts about who they wanted to play Conquest.
I don't think I saw Jeffrey Dean Morgan on that
list, but it fucking makes sense that they put
him in there. All I wanted to see was him brandishing
a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire and smacking
Invincible with it. Because that's when I stopped
watching The Walking Dead, was when Jeffrey Dean
Morgan killed. Stephen Ewan's character. You
didn't watch the following season? No. So I watched
the following season and then gave up after that
when, yeah, that kind of confrontation ended.
When they started the season with that scene,
Jeffrey Dean Morgan hitting Stephen Ewan over
the back of the head with, what's his bat's name?
Lucille. Lucille. And his eyeball just gone.
Dude, stuck in my brain for all eternity. Yeah.
That. The Red Wedding. When she's just like screaming
her head off and she's like, no, and slits all
over her throat. Instant iconic. Those two points
I would put down as not saying the moments, but
around the moment that TV kind of overtook cinema.
Yes. Yeah. Yep. That long form of storytelling
that... with the production that they're able
to put into it these days is next level compared
to what we get in movies. Well, even TV shows
these days are more expensive than movies. Now,
TV shows were where movie stars went to retire,
basically. Back in the day. Now, if you're in
one of these long -form TV shows, mate, that's
your meal ticket for the rest of your life. Absolutely.
You look at the... You look at the Piggy Blinders
of it all. Cillian Murphy, dude. One of the biggest
actors of our time right now. That had Tom Hardy
in it, for Christ's sake. You've got all these
massive stars doing these TV shows. Jason Momoa
was basically a non -talking role in Game of
Thrones. TV shows have just gone off into the
stratosphere. It's ridiculous. True Detective
with Woody Harrelson. Matthew McConaughey. Yeah,
hectic. And, like, every season they've brought
somebody kind of big in to star. Yeah. Jodie
Foster's in the last one. Mursali Ali was in
the second one. I keep butchering his name. I'm
going to have to look up how to pronounce that.
I'll just do a voiceover of, like, a really bad
idea. Mursali Ali. The second season had Colin
Farrell. Yes. It had Amy Adams. Amy McAdams.
Amy McAdams, yeah. And Vince Vaughn. Though that
show dropped off in the second season. Still
big stars, man. If you go back and watch it and
try not to compare it to the first one, it's
still great TV. Well, I can't for the life of
me remember the writer's name, and I should because
he was absolutely incredible. He had 10 years
to write that first season. Yeah. And then they're
like, oh, dude, it was so good, we need another
one. You've got six months. Yeah, you've got
a year to turn around. What? Yeah. But, dude,
that... I've only watched that first season once
and it's still with me. It's that good. I don't
know whether it would... I'm not saying it wouldn't
improve on a second watch, but I don't think
it need to. It's deep. It's got a deep cut to
it. You know what's coming if you go back and
watch it again. But it would be good to kind
of just see the interaction between Woody Harrelson
and... His brother. His brother. What did Woody
Harrelson say? Oh, my mum got up to some shit
when she was younger? Yeah. Now, was that a joke
or was that proven? Did I just... Did I dream
that that was proven lately? I think they want
to do a DNA test, but they just haven't done
it yet. They should. Maybe they're scared to.
They should make a documentary of it, dude. Go
and interview their parents and shit. That might
be in the works, yeah. Who knows? But like you
said, that first season was amazing. And again,
this whole Harry Potter saga that's kind of come
out, dude, it's going to... be bullshit because
they're going to throw all the money at this
thing. And they're not going to cast, you know,
they might cast beginner actors again like they
did with the original movies. But when you see
John Lithgow as Dumbledore and, yeah, you have
watched Ted Lasso, greatest TV show of all time,
by the way. The bloke who plays Roy Kent is Hagrid.
Oh, fucking for real? Yeah, man. So they've cast
Brett Goldstein as Hagrid. They're the only two
castings at this stage that I know of. Didn't
they cast Snape? Haven't they cast Snape? Oh,
dude, who'd they cast as Snape? Yeah, and they've
cast Snape, Papa Asidu. What was that, Andre
St -Pierre? They wanted him for James Bond as
well. I thought he was going to be Snape. Yeah,
okay. Another British actor. He was in Dungeons
and Dragons movie that just came out. When I
was seeing it, he was going, oh, fuck yes. Great
actor. I don't give a shit about what size you
are. They can edit shit. You've just got to look
at Hagrid in the movies. He wasn't that big.
Well, no. The dude that played him. You know,
he was a normal -sized dude. And they just made
him look better. Yeah, I don't care what colour
your skin is, dude. You do a good job, yes, sir.
Do it. Nail it. Yeah, absolutely. Like you said,
the colour of the skin. Doesn't matter. As long
as they're casting those people for the right
reasons and not just trying to... You couldn't
cast Timothee Chalamet as Black Panther. Sorry,
you couldn't. No. Even though he's a great actor.
Yeah. But... There are roles like Severus Snape.
Fucking Ove. Nail it. Crush it. Are we playing
footsies? Is that your thongs? That's my thongs,
yeah. It's not my toes. Yeah, dude, I'm all for
it. And this is the thing. This long, they're
going to set it out over six years. Let's go.
I'm keen. I think as the main trio, they will
have to cast young, generally unknown people.
Because they're going to have to grow up as they
film this. Yeah. So, actually, we were talking
about the other episode when I said that they
cast Dumbledore, John Lithgow. John Lithgow,
yep. Dumbledore. He was talking about the first
wrap party, so he will be 80 after the first
season. So he's old enough. You had said that
he was a bit young. To be Dumbledore. No, no,
no. I don't give a fuck that he's young for Dumbledore.
I just want him to be alive in six years. That's
all. I just want him to be alive at the end.
I mean, they recast him, Dumbledore, three movies
in the original movies because the original one
died anyway. Yeah, I know. It's like Dumbledore
is almost immortal. He's like 250 years old.
You don't have to cast an older gentleman as
Dumbledore. You can age an actor up. And this
is where I'll say I would have loved Killian
Murphy for Severus Snape, but I also would have
loved him as Dumbledore. You can age people up.
Don't hire an 80 -year -old actor who's going
to be busy for the next 10 years filming these
movies. And they're not these TV shows, and it's
not going to be easy going. It's going to be
long days. You're going to be shooting the shit
out of this show because each episode is going
to be an hour. Maybe eight episodes a season.
But yeah, I look forward to it. That's something
I am happy that they're rebooting. I'm not unhappy
that they're rebooting it. Yeah, I'm not unhappy
either. Because that's the thing. They're not
going to take the movies away from us. They're
not going to take that away. I'm nearly choking
up. They did the documentary where they did the
whole rap thing. It was just before Mr Coltrane
passed away. And it's like, you know, when my
kids look back, Hagrid will still be there. I
won't be, but he will. It's like, fuck off. You
can't say that shit. It'll always be there. And
I re -watch, me and my family watch Harry Potter
every year without fail. It's always getting
re -watched. If it's a rainy day, we've got nothing
to do, Harry Potter goes on. So how does Lowe
go with the last ones or he doesn't watch them?
No, he watches them. Yeah, okay. I hope they
bring in some, well, have you read the Harry
Potter books? Yeah. Well. The meat cleavers to
shins and shit at the end. I hope we see some
of that. They go sort of dark in the last couple
of books. So let's, fingers crossed they keep
that up. Fantastic series. And there's a bit
left out from the books in the movies. So much.
It'll be good to see a few. I can see why they
cut some of the scenes out too because they're
small. I didn't play much into the main storyline.
But to see those moments in the TV show will
be great. Yeah. Like I want to see more of the
fact that, you know, the food isn't magically
appearing on your things. It's prepared by house
elves. House elves downstairs, yeah. They're
not just house elves. They're slaves. Indentured
slaves. They're slaves. Yeah. And then Hermione's
the one that comes through and she goes, I want
to have... I want to have them have a union.
They need to be paid for what they do because
they do absolutely everything at Hogwarts. Considering
that the, you know, if the Weasleys can have
magic in their house cleaning it, why the hell
can't Hogwarts have magic clean it? They don't
need slaves. But I want to see. They deserve,
you know, give a nod that, yes, they are indentured
and they are taken advantage of by this school
and that there is somebody that's going to stand
up and go, hey, enough's enough. These people
need rights and shit. And I'm like, that could,
you know, rightfully so that was left out of
the movie. Jesus. It's not that shocking, Jeremy.
Jesus Christ. Sorry, that went down the wrong
way. Yeah. So, yeah, there are things that they
can actually delve into in the TV show, which
is going to be great. Dude, we started on Invincible
again. We did. This show is just the one that
keeps on giving. I wanted to talk about the cast.
Yes. Robert Kirkman wrote Walking Dead and Invincible,
and a lot of the characters or actors out of
Walking Dead have come back and did voices. Some
of them are done. Only one character, like Lauren
Cohen, did War Woman. So she played, was it Maggie?
She played Maggie, yeah. Stephen Ewan's wife.
Yeah, Stephen Ewan obviously voices Mark Invincible.
We had Jeffrey Dean Morgan rock up as Conquest.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, just the amount of people that
have turned up to voice some characters in this.
Ben Schwartz has turned up to voice a whole heap
of characters. Funny motherfucker. J .K. Simmons,
Voices, Omni -Man, Nolan. You've got Sandra Oh
coming in as Debbie. Yep. Mark Hamill even came.
Dude, massive cast. Yeah. The bloke who I absolutely
fell in love with, Rexplode. I hated him in the
first two seasons. In this season, he actually
came about and I was really... Redemption arc.
Absolutely. Jason Mansoukas, who plays him. Yep.
Mate, the... This bloke is just hilarious. He
plays Agent Pimento on Brooklyn Nine -Nine. He
plays Pam on Bad Grandpa. And every show he's
in just sells it. I'll watch anything of him
in it. He's hilarious. Even on the red carpet
for Invincible. Just the shit he was saying.
He was like, oh, you know, there's going to be
two episodes that are strictly musicals. There's
going to be a jazz one. And then he's like, and
then there's going to be a black and white version.
There's one that's going to have no dialogue.
It's just going to be all action, no dialogue.
And it's like just making shit up on the red
carpet. And everyone's like, what? And he's like,
yeah, we can't talk about the other stuff in
it, but this is the stuff we're allowed to talk
about. And it's like just a whole heap of bullshit.
Just taking the piss. I love it. I'm a piss taker.
Yeah. So, Invincible, season three. Give me your
final thoughts. Rate it out of ten. I say this
every time. Every time somebody asks me to rate
something, there's always kind of a caveat to
it. Like, I literally just finished watching
it yesterday. Got pretty invested. What do I
put it up against? I don't know. I enjoyed it
a lot. I'd probably say out of five, I'd give
it a four out of five. It's solid. Yeah. Good
fun. I initially, I went into it holding back.
I'm like, you know, the animated shows I'm not
really, I tell a lie, the DC animated shows and
movies, top tier. This one is up there, dude.
I put this up there with like the killing joke,
like the animated killing joke movie. That there
is, I put it up there with that. And the fact
that it's, you know, a five season run and we're
going to get an ending, hell yeah, let's go.
But, yeah. I think one of the things I do like
about the most, I just want to put this as the
last bit in there, the needle drops in it, some
of the music in it. Dude. Sensational. Nine -inch
nails at the end. Killed it. As soon as they
come on, I'm like, perfect. Even the Aussie band,
Emile and the Sniffers, at one point I was like,
holy fuck, I didn't expect to hear that many.
Yeah, great. Emile and the Sniffers. I'll pay
that. But, yeah, mate, absolutely. It's been
huge. Absolute pleasure. It's been fun coming
here again and hopefully the audio has been better.
