From the Dungeons of Morningstar, my name's Stretch.
And I'm Clint, and this is Prevailing Strange.
So this is Pop Culture News with Prevailing Strange,
where we cover some of the things that have piqued
our interest this week and check out some of
the relevant trailers that have come across our
feed. And then have transitions. Yeah, so we've
got a few trailers this week. Do you want to
start with trailers or news? Air freshener would
be a good place to start. Just get used to it,
buddy. Yeah, yeah. No, let's go news first because
then trailers are like a reward. Sounds good.
For you having to listen to my shit. One for
one? No. No? You want me to dump first? Yeah,
you dump first. I've done all the dumping last
week. This is kind of speculation at the moment.
The fact that they pushed back Doomsday six months
and then Secret Wars six months, I was thinking
about the fact that that gives Spider -Man Brand
New Day a bit more room to breathe because they
were supposed to be coming out at a very similar
time. Like they might have been running concurrently.
Yeah, right. So it'll be interesting to see whether
that kind of opens up for a more kind of grounded
Spider -Man story before we get a big kind of
multiversal thing. Yeah. That's what I was hoping,
Spider -Man give a bit more breathing room. Settle
him down a bit. He's been to space already. Yeah,
and across the multiverse in the last movie.
Yeah. Cool. The multiverse came to him. Came
to him, yeah. So, yeah, give him some breathing
room. Bring him back to street level. Maybe have
him have some interactions with Matt Murdock
and shit. You know what I mean? Yeah. Follow
a couple of them lines or, you know, do something
completely different. I don't mind, but bring
him back down to street level. Well, nobody knows
who he is, so he's potentially going to be making
some new friends. Yeah. We might get the Ned
Hobgoblin storyline finally. Because he won't
know who Spider -Man is and he won't be best
friends with Peter Parker, so he's going to just
go hell for leather and go, bad. Wouldn't that
be heartbreaking for Peter Parker? Peter Parker
lost everyone and now it's his worst enemy. And
there was the foreshadowing from the last movie
where they talked about that. I'm never going
to be a villain. Yeah. Dude. Famous last words.
Let's do that. Yeah. Yeah, let's do that. Get
someone smart to write it too. Yeah. I mean,
the last movie was fucking sensational. John
Watts isn't with them anymore, man, and that's
what I'm concerned about. Like, this is the first.
No, it's not Sony anymore, is it? We're back
at Marvel now. No, Sony. Still with Sony. Yeah.
But can't. Yeah. Yeah. I'm real nervous, dude.
Like, because John Watts has knocked these last
three movies out of the park. They were great.
Yeah, I don't know, man. I don't know if there's
been a director attached yet. I think there is,
but he hasn't done much. Right. Yeah. I don't
think John Watts had done much before Spider
-Man either. No. I think we covered this a little
while ago. I think he'd done mostly music videos
beforehand, or was that John Watts? I'm not sure.
Yeah. But, yeah, man, I'm hoping for good things.
Well, as I always am, but, you know, they all
can't be Aquaman. Something else that I saw the
past couple of days, Tom Felton is returning
to play Draco Malfoy. What? Yes. In the Broadway
production of The Cursed Child. Oh, fucking stop
it. Yeah, yeah. Dude, I like that Tom Felton
does some funny shit on his social media and
that. A lot of the times it involves former Harry
Potter stars as well. Yeah. Dude, he's stepped
away for a while. He hasn't done much since Harry
Potter. He's sort of taken a backwards step and
just done his own thing. Yeah. I think he popped
up in The Flash for a while there. I don't think
I've seen him in anything else personally. Doesn't
mean he hasn't been in anything else. He's a
good actor, man. And I say in the same vein as
maybe that little prick that played fucking.
Douchebag inbred Lannister kid. What? In Game
of Thrones. Little fucking king that was an arsehole.
Oh, Joffrey. Joffrey. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That
dude done such a good job at making you hate
him. That it ruined his career. That it ruined
his career. Oh, yeah. I kind of feel bad for
that kid. Look, he could get a role doing a heap
of shit. Yeah. And he should act because, mate,
he killed that. You physically hated that kid.
If I saw him walking down the street, I'd probably
push him in front of a bus. But, dude, he done
a great job. Oh, yeah. So do more, man. Come
back. Do some more shit. Yeah, it'd be interesting.
Speaking about people not coming back to acting
in that, you've seen they're doing the Malcolm
in the Middle revival. Yes. And the kid that
played Dewey is just. Not coming back. Oh, she
didn't really. Yeah, no, he's happy doing his
own thing. He's not, yeah. And there was, I saw
something on the feed the other day. It was a
flashback to an interview when they were doing
the first season of Malcolm in the Middle and
they were interviewing the kid that played Dewey.
And they kind of said, oh, you know, do you plan
to continue kind of doing this acting stuff?
And he's like, maybe, maybe not. I'll see what
happens. He seemed pretty happy with. The idea
of leaving from the get -go. Yeah, right. That
show was probably too popular for his own good.
Look, man, I don't think I could deal with it.
Yeah. And apparently, like, all the other cast
members have not heard from him either. Yeah,
right. Like, tried reaching out and just crickets.
Pretty funny. Living the dream. He's got all
the money. Well, he's got more money he can poke
a stick at. Well, I mean, I suppose he was a
kid while they were all pretty much adults at
the end. Yeah. So there was that kind of divide.
Probably didn't have the same kind of communal
feelings. Or he might be a vampire. Maybe. He's
still a child. Yeah. Yeah. And you just can't
come out of the daytime. Yeah. A character pops
up in 100 years from now. Sparkly. Doesn't he?
Well, that kid that played. Like fucking Nicolas
Cage. Yeah. Or Keanu Reeves. Yeah, dude. That
motherfucker's been around. He didn't get away
from Bram Stoker's Dracula. He actually got turned.
And we're going to find out he's Mr. Harker all
these times. Yeah, okay. That's pretty much all
the news I've got besides the trailers. Wow.
You do no research. I've got several. Wow. Okay,
so Keanu Reeves, who we were just talking about,
isn't thrilled about the Constantine 2 script.
Yeah, I did see that. According to co -star Peter
Stormare, who played the devil, best iteration
of the devil, the best iteration of the devil
in any movie, fucking fight me. The tar coming
out of his cuffs and stuff. Fucking fight me.
He's the best devil that's been on screen. Yep.
And that's including Dave Grohl's in Tenacious
D. He's a big investment. I was thinking of.
Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise. What? No. In The Tom
Cruise Devil, played by Tim Curry. What do you
mean Tom Cruise Devil, played by Tim Curry? Fable.
It was a movie called Fable with Tom Cruise in
it back in the day. Oh, was Tom Cruise in that?
Yeah. I didn't know Tim Curry was in that. I
was going to say Tim Curry. Tim Curry, Big Red
Devil, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. Right. Yeah,
it's a Tom Cruise movie. Yeah, okay. I've never
watched it. I've only ever seen pictures of Tim
Curry dressed up. It looks fucking fantastic.
Peter Stallman, Fight Me. Oh, yeah, 100%. So,
yeah, he wants a grounded, character -driven
sequel. The studios are pushing for over -the
-top spectacle. He doesn't want to marvel it.
Yeah, he doesn't want to turn it into a – it
is going to be marveled, but he doesn't want
to turn it into a marvel movie. DC. DC? Yeah.
Fucking idiot. So, yeah, he doesn't want to have
him doing backflips and flips and all that sort
of shit. So, yeah. No, keep it grounded. Keep
it dark. I agree. Don't stray too much from that
original movie. Really kind of, I liked how he
used like any kind of spell that he did. I don't
think he did many spells at all, really. There
was kind of little practical magic things that
he did. It was only that when he called him the
devil into the light in that time of the tattoo.
That's still one. Dude, one of the sickest. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah, bringing Gabriel into the world.
Oh, dude, that was so good. Was it Gabriel that
he brought into the world? Yeah, because he.
To get the devil. That's right. And that's why
you couldn't take him. The sacrifice. Yeah. Now,
I know I judged you and made you feel like a
bag of shit, but it's all I've got to. I love
it. Honestly, I was trawling for news. There
wasn't anything kind of decent. Man, I've been
seeing some AI images of the – the doomsday,
like, grainy from a distance, almost look legit.
Yeah. I'm like, I click on them, I'm like, oh,
that, oh. I'm like, no, that's too good to be
true. And they're too kind of centre of frame
to, like, you've got Elizabeth Olsen dressed
up as a Scarlet Witch, like she was in fucking.
You reckon she's coming back? No. I mean. I think
Elizabeth Olsen wants to come back. You don't
think she'll be in the story, though? No, not
on Doomsday. Okay. But, yeah. I mean, who knows
what they're going to do. They might just fucking
throw the whole slate and just. Well, see what
sticks. Cameos and shit. Throw it all. I did
see there was a new teaser for Fantastic Four,
which I've. I did see that. Unfortunately seen
a couple of stills of it by accident. But I'm
keen to kind of check that out and see what it
reveals. Something that I scrolled across the
social media today that made me laugh. So James
Gunn's like, he only wrote Guy Gardner into the
story so I can give Nathan Fillion a bowl cut.
And I'm like. Good use of free will. Exactly.
It's like, oh, okay. So didn't he play the alien
in Guardians of the Galaxy that got his nose
picked? By Groot. Yeah. He was that guy. He was
like, oh. So he played that. And then a character
that got his arms ripped off in the Suicide Squad,
he was in it for like five minutes. Well, that
was his powers, detachable arms. Yeah, but how
did he end up? He got blown up, didn't he? I
think so, yeah, on the beach. So I was like,
yeah, you know, just that. And now I'm just going
to cast him so I can give him a bowl cut. That's
fucking horrible too. But I'm glad they stuck
to the bowl cut because, like, he had a bowl
cut in the comics. Well, the way I see it is
there's worse friends to have. Oh, you want to
put me in a multimillion -dollar budget movie?
Okay, let's go. God damn it. To be handsome,
talented, funny, and fucking loaded. He's got
it all on Nathan Fillion. Apparently, too, everybody
that's ever worked with him loves him except
for one person. That's the chick out of Castle
that played Beckett. Yeah, right. Apparently
didn't like him making fun of her or hazing her
and shit. Fucking please, Nathan Fillion, haze
me. Haze me. Haze me, daddy. Oh, God, that's
getting cut. Into a reel so everybody can see
it. Wow. Don't you know. Cut. Yeah, so teaser.
Fantastic four. I haven't watched it yet because
I made a promise that I wouldn't watch it without
you. But do you want to get there? Oh, there
it is there. Is that that one? Family. No place.
It's about connecting to something bigger than
yourself. Should have got Groot to say that.
Whatever life throws at us. I'm loving the aesthetic,
dude. We'll face it together. As a family. I
love the fantastic car, dude. It was so sick.
Today, we are your defenders. The four of us
will face the danger. And we will protect you.
Is this guy good? Is it clobbering time? Oh yeah.
Oh yes. I finally knocked it off the list. List?
The new spacesuits. I take back every single
bad thing I've been saying about you. To myself.
In private. Nice. So a couple of things. You
were saying about the aesthetic and that. Yes.
I do like that the poster is like a completely
different poster. You watch any other Marvel
movie poster and they're like these big side
poses. Similar colours and they're all kind of.
Composed the same. This stands out big time.
It does. Now, I have questions. In that you saw
what looked like Susan Storm below the rocket
as it looks like they're prepping the rocket
to go. You see the three guys in spacesuits,
but she's not in a spacesuit. And then you see
the Fantastic Four ship rock up. At the end of
Thunderbolts. Did they leave her and Franklin
behind or what's going to happen there? I'm not
sure. Do they come to the MCU's universe by accident?
Do you really think they'd leave Franklin on
that earth? Franklin and Susan? Yeah. By accident.
Yeah, but Johnny can re -enter. Oh, no, he can't.
He can't kill our atmosphere, can he? No. No,
he can't. So, yeah, okay, that's going to be
interesting, whether we don't get the entire
Fantastic Four in the one world, they're separated.
Could you imagine that damaged, broken, fractured
Fantastic Four? What does that look like? Yeah.
What does a desperate Reed look like trying to
get back to? Yeah. Interesting. Or did you just
go and kill off that world's Reed Richards and
just assimilate? Well, who knows if there is
a Richards in that world. Well, we haven't seen
one, sir. And we've been in New York a hell of
a lot of times and no one's ever said the back's
a building. No, that's right. Could be exciting.
Could be. It's fun to speculate. I like to speculate.
We're not seeing much of Mr. Fantastic's powers
set. No. We've only seen that, like, little two
-second clip in that second trailer. It's one
of the worst power sets, in my opinion. I fucking
hate stretchy characters. I don't know. It's
just lame. Like, it's so, like, you can tell
that these powers were conceived during the 40s
and 50s. Well, what I want to know is, right,
he stretches. And he's supposed to be able to
grab things. I don't know if you've ever held
a tape measure, like you held a tape measure
this long, nice and strong. You have it out over
a metre and it's like. Yeah. I don't know. And
Stan Lee, RIP, is not around to clarify that.
That's a question I'd ask. And how long can things,
and does he, and we can balloon out. I've seen
it. Mm -hmm. He could make his wang any size
he wants. He probably could. Do you remember
Mallrats? Yeah. Yeah. That would be a question
that Brody would have asked Stanley for sure.
Damn straight. Brody man, noochie, noochie. I
love that movie. Great movie. That was the first
Kevin Smith movie I've ever seen. And I was an
instant fan. Yeah. Batman chasing Amy, I think,
was the next one I watched. I just thought of
something Brody said. He's like. Brody. Brody.
Brody? Yeah, Brody. And he's like, you know,
I've been with her for two years. I farted in
front of her one time. Then she dumps me. She
goes, man, I don't think she's that shallow.
She goes, she was going down on me at the time.
So I got off. That was – Jason Langley coming
up after Mallrats, right? Yep. That was – The
guy that plays Brodie, that was his first ever
acting role, man. Yeah. Killed it. Yeah. He was
a pro skater before that. That was so fucking
good. And now he's a photographer. He was asked
if he'd go back to My Name Is Earl. Yeah. Dude,
I would have loved to have seen that keep going.
That was a fucking amazing show. Such a good
show, dude. Yeah. And wholesome as shit. Yeah.
There we go. Fingal over, Kevin Smith stuff.
What's next on your agenda, sir? Frankenstein.
I want to check out Oscar Isaac and Mia Goff
and Jacob Elody, see what they all look like.
One of my favourite directors of all time directed
it. Gorillamo del Toro's Frankenstein on Netflix.
Oh, it's gone straight to Netflix? Get effed!
Oh. Good base. I had determined that the memory
of my evils should die with me. Some of what
I will tell you is fact. Some is not. But it
is all true. What manner of creature is that?
Don't mention Hellboy, go on. What manner of
devil made him? I did. I had a vision. An idea
took shape. Truth. Fucking beautiful sets. Oh,
yeah. I've been seeking life. I created death.
Why? Victory! Oh, shit. What? Looks very gothic,
has all the very telltale signs of Guerrilla
No Del Toro. Wow. I don't mind that. That looks
so fucking cool. Fan. This funny Frankenstein's
monster at the end there on the ship reminded
me a lot of The Strain. Did you watch The Strain?
Yes, dude. That was cool probably for the first
season. I didn't watch the second season. I didn't
bother. First one was. Really good. Look, man,
I'll watch anything that dude directs. I don't
give a shit. If it's got his name at the front
of it, I'll watch it. No, I won't actually. I
just thought of some films that I wouldn't watch.
Of his? No, just if there was a movie made about
it and he directed it, I wouldn't watch it if
it was in that vein of film. Right, gotcha. Okay.
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. Yum, yum. Oh! Gen V
Season 2 trailer's out too. Haven't seen Season
1. Have you seen The Boys? Yeah. Well, watch
V. I want it. Watch V. I want it. Watch V. I
want it. Watch it. The next one I want to check
out was in the vein of Aliens, Alien Earth trailer
came out. Dude, this. Come out of fucking nowhere
for me. I haven't even heard of another Alien
movie coming out and then this popped up in my
feed like two days ago. Yeah. Oh, you didn't
know? No. Oh, I've been waiting. Oh, really?
I've been watching. I mean, yes. Well. Anticipating.
The trailer is out, my friend. It's not a movie.
It's a TV show. Oh, really? Yeah. Alien Earth
on the FX channel. Nine, eight, seven, six, five,
four, three, two. How's our girl? Neverland.
She's ready. You're going to be the first person
to transition from a human body to a synthetic.
Because I'm special. That's right. You're very,
very special. What's on that ship? We can do
it. We're fast. We're strong. We don't break.
It's like a zoo, but the animals got out. This
ship collected five different life forms from
the darkest corners of the universe. Let them
fight. Monsters. Show me something. Evasive species.
Predatory. We don't lock them down. It will be
too late. more than xenomorphs. I always blow
trailer movies, like the trailer directors. That
person needs to go and get themselves checked.
They were just throwing images at you and not
showing anything interesting except for at the
end where I see some xenomorphs. I was asking
questions more than I was enjoying that. See,
I was happy because out of all the alien movies.
You don't see Earth except for the inside of
a couple of buildings. Yeah, that's right. Like
I've always wanted to see, oh, except for when
number four, they crash back into Earth. Yeah,
I've always wanted to kind of see the state of
Earth in that universe. Whether it's like the
outposts where they're. Literally just like derelict
cities. What kind of earth is it? Are we looking
post -apocalyptic? Are we looking solar punk?
Are we looking kind of... Yeah, right. Yeah,
right. And it looked pretty clean, pretty flash,
didn't it? Yeah, it wasn't like cyberpunk. Well,
are we going to get a couple of different sides?
Is that going to be like the prosperous upper
class and then we're going to have like a gritty
underground? I did like the look of it. It looked
fucking like... Not bad. A lot different to the
other Alien movies we've seen where it's usually
dark and raining all the time. Always raining.
I'm going to have to go back and have a look
at the timeline and see where that fits. What
was that, 2120 or something? The start of that
one? Yeah, I think. 2120. Yeah, okay. Neverland
Research Island. Damn it, Michael, you had an
old island. 2120, well, that's before Ripley's
Adventures. Yeah. Well, yeah, she was the first
synthetic, that girl. No, no, no. That was the
first human conscience put into a synthetic.
She wasn't the first synthetic. Oh, okay. She's
a hybrid. I hope one day that I'll live long
enough for that, to become the singularity, to
be uploaded. I mean, before I had kids, yes.
I don't know whether I want to kind of go outside
that whole progression of things. Yeah, but eventually
they're going to put me in a home. That's all
right. And then I can just go upload me. Yeah,
but then it's that whole kind of question like
is it really you? Like it's not going to be a
continuation of your thought at the moment. No,
but. That part of you is just going to wake up
and it's not going to be your experience. No,
but I'll be in the net, in the webs, playing
Ready Player One type shit. A copy of you. Doesn't
matter. The other one's dead married, so yeah.
No, I'm good. And then when all my friends come,
we're gaming 24 -7, Dre, Snoop and Devin. Yeah.
Now, the way I see it, by that time, I've had
a good life. I've lived my life. I've seen my
kids grow up and have grandkids and stuff. So,
yeah. I don't ever want anybody changing my nappies,
dude. No, I get that. But, like, yeah, just fucking
tap me. Fucking put me down. I want to play some
video games while I'm 90. Yeah, dude. Playing
that Ready Player One shit where you never age
and you're just gaming all the time. You don't
have to worry about bills and stuff. No bills,
Jeremy. Let's go. Oh, yeah, you just pay your
subscription to fucking stay awake when your
fucking subscription runs out. That's it. They
shut you down. Dude, come on. Have you looked
at the world? I've watched Black Mirror. They
actually did that. Oh, did they? That was an
episode. They're like, okay, what can happen
is, so you've got five months to live, but what
we can do, we can give you a subscription to
this part where we'll take the brain out and
then we'll put it in this other section. It'll
just keep your brain repairing itself constantly.
and then they upped the subscription. They're
going, like, you're going to have ads. So all
of a sudden she'd be having a conversation. She
was having sex with her husband, and he came
prematurely, and an ad come up for premature
ejaculation. She started speaking this fucking
ad about premature ejaculation. And then they
just kept going, oh, no, that's part of the basic
package to upgrade. It costs this much a month.
And then at the end she's like, fuck. Oh, dude.
Man, like I wouldn't be surprised if that shit
happened because, you know, like we had pay TV
so you didn't have to watch ads. Then it had
ads. Then we had streaming services. Watch whatever
you want whenever you want. You're paying for
it. It's fine. It's all you. Now we're getting
ads on fucking Amazon. We're getting ads on Amazon,
bro. Fucking YouTube was one of the greatest
things ever. Ads fucking, besides, we're getting
fucking two ads at the start, one in the middle
and one at the end. So many. You're getting your
fucking ads on a Facebook reel. And, like, then
you get these services who have gone, okay, you
don't want to pay for ads here. You pay extra.
You pay the premium. And now some premium services
are getting ads. Yeah, you've got to get Amazon
Plus now or something, whatever it is. Oh, man.
But, like, yeah. Fucking corporate greed, man.
Nobody's happy with the status quo. They want
more. Free Luigi. Free Luigi. Oh, dude. Yeah,
look, it's the way. And then you get people like
Elon Musk just come in. He's like, oh, guess
what? Donald Trump's been to the meeting. I'm
out. He's just fucking set to fight at the house.
He's fucking on his way out. Oh, yeah. It's the
breakup of the century. It is, yeah. I love his
tiff. Fucking idiots. You watch someone on –
oh, the Happy Gilmore trailer. I want to see
the Stranger Things trailer. Oh, okay, okay.
So they're releasing that. That's news that I
had. So it's not a series season that they're
releasing. They're releasing three episodes,
one in November, one – Wait, what? Yeah, one
at Christmas and one on New Year's, like movie
-length episodes. Okay. Okay. Stranger Things
Season 5. Let's go. I think about that night
all the time. The night it came for you. We'll
get a lot of youngies today. All of this started.
They're not going to give us any new fucking
shit, are they? That was a horrible season. That
was a shit season. We failed. Yeah! That was
the most metal finale ever. We need to be ready.
Okay. Hey, look. That trailer gave me nothing
until Goosebumps right at the end. Yeah. Man,
that first season was something special. It was
incredible. It was lighting in a bottle, something
you'd very, very fucking rare. The tone, the
feel, that kind of nostalgia. Yeah. Dude, everything
down to their track pants, man. Yeah, the D &D,
that was cool. That first season and season four,
they were both. in my opinion. Yeah. Yeah, season
four was a winner for me in so many ways. I think,
what's his name, Quinn? Yeah, Joseph Quinn. Joseph
Quinn. I think his character was incredible,
loved it. And the stoner fella, he's not coming
back for this next one, the Indian guy with the
van. Just working. Oh, yeah. He was fucking funny,
man. Yeah, he had the hat and the long straight
hair. Fucking handsome son of a bitch. Yeah,
he was hilarious. Dude, I agree with you. That
gave me absolutely sweet FA until that last couple
of minutes. Last couple of minutes. Last couple
of seconds. Yeah. It was really good. Have you
seen that, the Dracula trailer? No, I haven't
heard anything about that. Well, it. When did
it come out? 16 hours ago. Yeah. So. Christopher
Waltz. Luke Besson. Luke Besson. Now, you know
who Luke Besson is? The director that did. Fifth
Element. Hmm. Interesting. This trailer is literally
just dropped and I haven't heard anything on
it. No, neither. It's a Dracula trailer starring
Christoph Waltz and directed by Luke Besson.
who directed The Fifth Element. So I'm always
keen to watch what he's got to say. Here we go.
You'd just seen that nose in when you sat at
Jim Brody. I did. Looks like Dave Dismalchian.
Tell me your story. My story. A hundred years
ago, I asked a priest that God spare my wife.
My life no longer belongs to him. Since then,
I've lived on waiting for her to return. My master.
He's been looking for his beloved for more than
400 years. He comes to find his princess. Is
this French? This is why we haven't heard about
it. It's been dubbed. This man is the devil.
Mina is in danger. Repent for your salvation.
Well, Luke, the song is French. Yeah. She is
my salvation. It's all been voiceovers so far.
You are a damn nation. You know who that guy
is? Benchy out of First Class. Is it? Yeah. Yeah,
I think that's the case. I think we've got a
French movie that's going to be dubbed. You reckon?
Yeah. It looked all right, though. It did look
all right. Yeah. I love the tone. I think it
looked all right. For something that's just popped
up, yeah, I was actually quite happy to see that.
What have we got? One more in us? No, I think
that's about the time we've got for our pop culture
news this week. Pop culture news. Sorry. If you
want to do the deeds. See you next time, kids.
We'll see you on Wednesday morning. Tune in.
