WEBVTT 00:00:01.100 --> 00:00:03.399 From the Dungeons of Morningstar, I'm Clint. 00:00:03.940 --> 00:00:06.860 And I'm Stretch, and this is Prevailing Strange. 00:00:17.780 --> 00:00:21.199 Welcome back to Prevailing Strange, and this 00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:24.199 is the segment, Our Week in Review, where we 00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:27.660 cover the content that we've checked out this 00:00:27.660 --> 00:00:32.579 week. Yeah. What have you? You're going to hear 00:00:32.579 --> 00:00:34.119 us talk about it. You're going to hear us talk 00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:35.619 about it. What have you checked out this week, 00:00:35.659 --> 00:00:38.820 buddy? Not much, man. Not much? Not much. Watched 00:00:38.820 --> 00:00:40.960 Fall Guy today, which was just absolutely epic. 00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:44.679 Again. Again. We actually, Ali was tattooing 00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:49.439 someone who was on set. So Tommy, her client, 00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:53.259 was actually a background actor. Yeah, okay. 00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:56.299 So he said he was in one of the big suits and 00:00:56.299 --> 00:00:59.869 he had to stay. on set for a whole day in like 00:00:59.869 --> 00:01:02.649 scorching heat and just sitting there talking 00:01:02.649 --> 00:01:04.030 to him about it, hearing about it. It was pretty 00:01:04.030 --> 00:01:08.049 exciting. And Four Guys still one of my top tier 00:01:08.049 --> 00:01:10.670 film and Ryan Gosling still in the shit on my 00:01:10.670 --> 00:01:12.310 chest. I asked him for Ryan Gosling's phone number. 00:01:12.310 --> 00:01:16.310 He doesn't have it, which is a shame because 00:01:16.310 --> 00:01:18.969 I'd like his phone number and I'd just send him 00:01:18.969 --> 00:01:22.730 a picture of my chest with a target on it. It's 00:01:22.730 --> 00:01:26.090 a positive. We talked about Annihilation last 00:01:26.090 --> 00:01:29.109 week. I haven't had a chance because a mate of 00:01:29.109 --> 00:01:34.109 mine named Stretch has basically told me that 00:01:34.109 --> 00:01:36.290 if I didn't watch this show that he'd end our 00:01:36.290 --> 00:01:40.469 friendship, in case you haven't paid attention 00:01:40.469 --> 00:01:43.030 in previous episodes, called Full Metal Alchemist. 00:01:43.950 --> 00:01:48.319 How are you going? Look. It's not how I thought 00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:50.739 it was going to be. It's very Pokemon -esque 00:01:50.739 --> 00:01:57.920 -like. It's aimed at children. It is. You've 00:01:57.920 --> 00:01:59.819 got a kid who skits his out every time someone 00:01:59.819 --> 00:02:04.900 calls him short. Yeah. There is comedy to it. 00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:11.319 There is some blood and gore sometimes. The first 00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:13.180 time I sat down and watched it, I was with Logan. 00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:15.360 And it was just the opening scene where he's 00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:18.819 doing the transmutation. And I was sitting there 00:02:18.819 --> 00:02:20.039 and watching. I'm like, oh, I can't watch this 00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:23.240 with Logan. But I can. I could if I wanted to. 00:02:24.500 --> 00:02:27.620 It's not overly graphic. But there's parts of 00:02:27.620 --> 00:02:32.020 the story that, like last night, I was watching 00:02:32.020 --> 00:02:34.180 it and I got a bit emotional. It gets heavy, 00:02:34.300 --> 00:02:40.680 man. It's getting there. I'm at episode 36. Teachers 00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:43.340 just sort of come in and she's like, I used a 00:02:43.340 --> 00:02:47.240 transmutation human. I used human alchemy when 00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:51.060 I was pregnant. And this is the homunculus that 00:02:51.060 --> 00:02:56.120 come about. And to hear how Al talks about his 00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:59.060 brother and how important his brother is to him. 00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:01.280 And there was a couple of other episodes where, 00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:04.960 and it's all Al, man. I've got a real, I'm more 00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:09.110 attached to Al than anyone else. Armstrong is 00:03:09.110 --> 00:03:12.030 another favourite character. He's got the shittest 00:03:12.030 --> 00:03:18.189 haircut. Mace. Mace died in episode 25 and I 00:03:18.189 --> 00:03:20.389 was getting a bit attached to him too, like just 00:03:20.389 --> 00:03:22.789 how excited he was to be a dad and just that 00:03:22.789 --> 00:03:24.949 sort of shit. And then I've got to go home to 00:03:24.949 --> 00:03:27.550 my family and then he's dead. Spoiler alert. 00:03:29.009 --> 00:03:32.750 So there are bits that are heavy. I am enjoying 00:03:32.750 --> 00:03:39.259 it. I find myself it's. Very, they're going here, 00:03:39.379 --> 00:03:41.680 they're going there, but they're not, there's 00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:44.340 a lot of time jumps, but they don't say they're 00:03:44.340 --> 00:03:47.960 time jumps. So I find myself sort of going, hang 00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:50.340 on a minute, hang on a minute. And then it takes 00:03:50.340 --> 00:03:52.039 me a minute to reset because I'm not a smart 00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:57.939 man. And I get it. I get your attraction to this 00:03:57.939 --> 00:04:03.099 and your affinity for this. I really wish it 00:04:03.099 --> 00:04:10.069 was more. aimed at adults we'll get to that but 00:04:10.069 --> 00:04:13.650 i think i've only got what have we got 30 episodes 00:04:13.650 --> 00:04:17.149 to go yeah i think the the reason i wanted you 00:04:17.149 --> 00:04:20.149 to watch this first is it's pretty well rounded 00:04:20.149 --> 00:04:25.350 yeah it has tropes of anime so i sent a meme 00:04:25.350 --> 00:04:29.589 to a friend the other day about um how all anime 00:04:29.589 --> 00:04:35.569 has its anime shit yeah we you know Blood out 00:04:35.569 --> 00:04:38.490 the nose, the kind of weird faces, the fucking 00:04:38.490 --> 00:04:41.410 stupid shit that goes on. There's different levels 00:04:41.410 --> 00:04:43.449 of that throughout plenty of different anime. 00:04:45.290 --> 00:04:48.610 This is like mid -tier, somewhere in the middle. 00:04:48.730 --> 00:04:50.629 Right. You can get serious stuff, you can get 00:04:50.629 --> 00:04:56.170 ridiculous stuff. Pardon me. I think this is 00:04:56.170 --> 00:04:58.410 just a good introduction. Right, okay. And if 00:04:58.410 --> 00:05:00.870 you get through it and you want more, I've got 00:05:00.870 --> 00:05:05.740 heaps more. I understand what they're trying 00:05:05.740 --> 00:05:09.019 to do. And another thing, it's the whole Super 00:05:09.019 --> 00:05:11.579 Mario trope. Ooh, Princess Peach is in another 00:05:11.579 --> 00:05:17.379 castle with the Philosopher's Stone. Oh, there's 00:05:17.379 --> 00:05:20.180 always a fake Philosopher's Stone. Okay. All 00:05:20.180 --> 00:05:22.360 right. And then you've got the seven deadly sins 00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:24.680 as well. So you've got envy, gluttony, and all 00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:30.139 that sort of shit. So there's a lot of balls 00:05:30.139 --> 00:05:33.529 in the air at this point. Yeah. So I'm excited 00:05:33.529 --> 00:05:36.189 for it to start wrapping up. Like there was a 00:05:36.189 --> 00:05:40.589 scene in episode 27, I think, where they were 00:05:40.589 --> 00:05:43.670 sitting there and he's like one of the bad guys 00:05:43.670 --> 00:05:49.209 who's in a mech as well. And he's like, your 00:05:49.209 --> 00:05:54.199 brother, you're not real. You're not Al. Your 00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:56.800 brother created you to fill a hole. And he's 00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:58.839 like, no, he's my brother. He loves me. He wants 00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:00.459 to help me. And he goes, no, mate, you're just 00:06:00.459 --> 00:06:02.899 a mech. You're nothing. Yeah. You think you're 00:06:02.899 --> 00:06:06.279 L? You're not. Yeah. And just that existential 00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:12.319 overcoming of that, it hit the right notes, man. 00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:15.139 Yeah. There's subjects that it touches on. Yeah. 00:06:15.420 --> 00:06:18.160 You know, you could probably watch it with a 00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:21.250 kid. But if your kids switched on enough to kind 00:06:21.250 --> 00:06:23.329 of pick up on things, they're going to be asking 00:06:23.329 --> 00:06:27.790 some questions, man. And that's why, yeah. It 00:06:27.790 --> 00:06:32.149 was, I mean, look, you were right. I'm enjoying 00:06:32.149 --> 00:06:36.550 it. I am. But like you said, it is getting heavier 00:06:36.550 --> 00:06:40.509 and heavier, but I'm still attached to Al. Yeah. 00:06:40.569 --> 00:06:43.850 He's my character. Oh, Al is great. Al is one 00:06:43.850 --> 00:06:46.589 of the backbones. Yeah. But like I said, when 00:06:46.589 --> 00:06:49.399 you first said that Al was your favourite, Ed 00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:53.819 gets better as he becomes more kind of compelling 00:06:53.819 --> 00:06:59.079 because he's complex. He may be silly, stupid, 00:06:59.300 --> 00:07:03.579 kind of like short -tempered, whatever, but what 00:07:03.579 --> 00:07:06.139 he's trying to accomplish. Is a big thing. Is 00:07:06.139 --> 00:07:09.740 a big thing. Yeah. Another character who I found 00:07:09.740 --> 00:07:15.420 was really compelling, he is now homunculus, 00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:18.899 but he's always whispering. And his daughter 00:07:18.899 --> 00:07:20.800 was killed because of something that he did. 00:07:21.100 --> 00:07:25.339 And now he is a camera. It's like off -putting 00:07:25.339 --> 00:07:29.939 as shit. Everybody's talking like this. And he's 00:07:29.939 --> 00:07:32.560 like, I don't know why you're doing this. Fuck 00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:38.680 off. Get out. But yeah, enjoying it, man. I'm 00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:42.139 enjoying it. Again, this is the first anime I've 00:07:42.139 --> 00:07:44.199 ever watched in its entirety. I'm going to finish 00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:47.220 it. I've watched bits and pieces of Pokemon. 00:07:47.339 --> 00:07:49.980 I've watched bits and pieces of other things. 00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:54.040 But when it comes to manga, I've only read one 00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:56.220 manga in its entirety, and it was Bleach. Right. 00:07:56.399 --> 00:08:00.199 And that, to me, I'm comparing it to Bleach, 00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:02.800 and I shouldn't be. Bleach is a completely different 00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:06.339 story. Bleach, I enjoyed up until, I never read 00:08:06.339 --> 00:08:09.980 the manga, up until Chad, they changed the voice 00:08:09.980 --> 00:08:13.160 actor. Right. I haven't watched the anime. I'll 00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:15.240 stop watching it. Yeah, right. It just drove 00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:17.639 me nuts because I didn't even try and make him 00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:19.699 the same, similar voice. Right. It just completely 00:08:19.699 --> 00:08:23.720 changed him. When I originally was given Bleach 00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:26.560 by Joshy Brennan, who's a tattooist I worked 00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:28.779 with when I was at Tattoos on Beaumont, he'd 00:08:28.779 --> 00:08:31.339 give me Bleach. And it was off -putting because 00:08:31.339 --> 00:08:33.940 I read the first chapter and it was the end. 00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:36.960 And I'm like, what the fuck? Munger's written 00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:39.740 backwards, man. So I was like, okay, that's a 00:08:39.740 --> 00:08:44.169 new thing. Quick question. Last week I told you 00:08:44.169 --> 00:08:46.250 about an amazing Deadpool's head. Have you given 00:08:46.250 --> 00:08:48.990 it any thought? Not at the moment. Damn it. Maybe 00:08:48.990 --> 00:08:51.110 one day when we open a Patreon and people pay 00:08:51.110 --> 00:08:54.269 us to not go to work. Because I don't know whether 00:08:54.269 --> 00:08:59.509 you've noticed, AI is popping off. I'm following 00:08:59.509 --> 00:09:08.029 a couple of Instagram pages. One's called Stormtroopers 00:09:08.029 --> 00:09:13.649 POV and one's called The Big Yeti. You sent me 00:09:13.649 --> 00:09:16.850 a few of those. Okay. The stormtroopers POV one 00:09:16.850 --> 00:09:19.409 is just like the stormtroopers walking around 00:09:19.409 --> 00:09:21.250 with a selfie camera going, oh, you know, we're 00:09:21.250 --> 00:09:23.370 just looking for these two robots on Dagobah. 00:09:23.509 --> 00:09:25.269 We don't know where we're at. Oh, my God, I'm 00:09:25.269 --> 00:09:29.169 lost. And it's hilarious. You know that emoji? 00:09:30.169 --> 00:09:33.830 That's not prayer hands. It's a high five. I've 00:09:33.830 --> 00:09:36.710 sent those to people that have heard bad news. 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:41.720 I thought they were prayer hands. I think a lot 00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:43.799 of people do think they're prayer hands, but 00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:49.360 no. High five, bro. Congratulations. Shit. Heard 00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:54.879 you had to put your rabbit down. It's like I 00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:59.320 read this Reddit post of their mum, this person's 00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:03.679 mum, would end everything with LOL. Lots of love? 00:10:03.860 --> 00:10:06.159 Lots of love. Yeah, no. Laugh out loud. Sorry 00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:11.779 to hear about your loss. Hello, Al. Yeah. So 00:10:11.779 --> 00:10:16.840 good. I'm going to let you drop this next thing 00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:19.259 that we've both watched this week. Yes. I actually 00:10:19.259 --> 00:10:21.320 watched it today because I wanted it to be fresh. 00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:24.299 I watched it today as well. Killer of killers. 00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:26.779 For the fourth time. For the fourth time. I've 00:10:26.779 --> 00:10:30.240 watched it four times this week already. It was 00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:34.019 sensational. Top tier, man. Top tier. Dan Trachtenberg, 00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:37.100 please take a tip of your fucking enormous cap. 00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:41.259 Oh, yeah. Which kind of era was your favourite 00:10:41.259 --> 00:10:43.340 of the three? We're going to have to go with 00:10:43.340 --> 00:10:47.059 the sword. Yeah. Yeah, definitely. Fucking feudal 00:10:47.059 --> 00:10:49.379 Japan. I've wanted to see one for years, man. 00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:52.399 I wanted to see that before I seen Prey. Yeah. 00:10:53.340 --> 00:10:58.110 However. However, if you haven't seen Killer 00:10:58.110 --> 00:10:59.750 of Killers, I would fucking come back. We're 00:10:59.750 --> 00:11:00.429 dropping spoilers, bro. We're dropping spoilers. 00:11:00.730 --> 00:11:06.570 I'm sorry. Come back. At the end? Dog! When he's 00:11:06.570 --> 00:11:08.409 handed that flintlock, and I'm like, hang on 00:11:08.409 --> 00:11:11.429 a minute. Hang on. Where'd that come from? That's 00:11:11.429 --> 00:11:13.269 in Predator 2 as well. It was in Predator 2. 00:11:13.470 --> 00:11:19.090 That flintlock was given to Neera? Yep, in Prey. 00:11:19.529 --> 00:11:22.210 At the end of Prey? Yeah. She takes it from the 00:11:22.210 --> 00:11:25.809 French. Yeah. That fucking flintlock has been 00:11:25.809 --> 00:11:33.350 more places than anyone. So this Yautja homeworld, 00:11:33.450 --> 00:11:36.129 is this the Badlands homeworld? I don't know, 00:11:36.129 --> 00:11:38.330 dude, because it looked quite Badlands -y. Well, 00:11:38.490 --> 00:11:41.669 you've got the big bad general. How good did 00:11:41.669 --> 00:11:43.549 he look, dude, with the spines coming off the 00:11:43.549 --> 00:11:47.190 top of his head? Yeah, he looks sick. He's in 00:11:47.190 --> 00:11:50.049 the trailer for Badlands. Is he? Yeah. I haven't 00:11:50.049 --> 00:11:52.360 watched the trailer for Badlands. We have. We 00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:53.559 watched it together, remember? No, we haven't. 00:11:53.620 --> 00:11:55.519 Yeah, we have. Remember Ella Fenning's character? 00:11:55.659 --> 00:11:57.740 It fucking turns off. She's a fucking... That's 00:11:57.740 --> 00:12:02.019 an alien, bro. No, dude. That's in the Badlands 00:12:02.019 --> 00:12:04.500 trailer. No, it wasn't. And she is a fucking 00:12:04.500 --> 00:12:08.240 synthetic from Alien. No, wasn't that in Alien 00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:11.639 TV? Shall we watch that? No, bro. No. That's 00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:14.720 the Badlands. Remember with the young Yuu -Ucha? 00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:17.120 Oh, yeah. And that big thing comes out? Yeah, 00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:19.460 yeah, yeah. I think it is the thing that they 00:12:19.460 --> 00:12:23.000 fight in the fucking... Coliseum. Well, this 00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:27.639 is what – now, don't get me wrong. The bullet 00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:30.879 was my least favourite episode. Yep. But they 00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:34.019 needed somebody to fly the fucking thing. But 00:12:34.019 --> 00:12:36.799 this is the thing, right? It pissed me off. It 00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:39.059 was the whole Will Smith of it all. Oh, Will 00:12:39.059 --> 00:12:41.179 Smith, you fought against one in the thing so 00:12:41.179 --> 00:12:42.980 you know how to fly. That's the biggest stupid 00:12:42.980 --> 00:12:45.450 trope I've ever seen. Oh, I've fought one of 00:12:45.450 --> 00:12:47.009 these in the sky. I know how to fight. No, you 00:12:47.009 --> 00:12:49.929 don't, dickhead. What if it's got some neural 00:12:49.929 --> 00:12:52.070 interface that you have no idea about? Well, 00:12:52.070 --> 00:12:54.970 that's the thing. Is there a fucking bipedal 00:12:54.970 --> 00:12:58.529 humanoid creature? There's, you know, you assume 00:12:58.529 --> 00:13:01.730 there's going to be some kind of similarities 00:13:01.730 --> 00:13:03.950 across fucking. Does that mean a orangutan can 00:13:03.950 --> 00:13:06.970 drive a fucking car? No. Can it fly a plane? 00:13:07.090 --> 00:13:12.549 Well, it's never flown anything of its own. Shut 00:13:12.549 --> 00:13:17.269 up. But. You know, if chimps were getting around 00:13:17.269 --> 00:13:20.029 in gliders of their own technology, one might 00:13:20.029 --> 00:13:25.629 be able to figure out a plane. Maybe. Dude, the 00:13:25.629 --> 00:13:30.230 fight scenes in that movie, we're going to call 00:13:30.230 --> 00:13:33.190 it a movie. It was a movie, yeah. Sensational. 00:13:33.370 --> 00:13:41.419 Yeah. Oh, my Lord, dude. Yeah. I want more. Dude, 00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:44.679 give. We're getting more. Dan Trachtenberg, just 00:13:44.679 --> 00:13:49.440 everybody. Who's the studio that's doing Predator? 00:13:49.980 --> 00:13:52.820 Is it Universal? I'm not sure, but they're doing 00:13:52.820 --> 00:13:55.679 it right. Whoever it is, just sign Dan Trachtenberg 00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:58.679 to an exclusive fucking contract and let him 00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:00.259 do whatever he wants with Predator. Just give 00:14:00.259 --> 00:14:02.220 him all the money and go come back to when you 00:14:02.220 --> 00:14:04.340 got us something. You know, I'm pretty happy 00:14:04.340 --> 00:14:06.600 that I left Pray to watch only a couple weeks 00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:09.960 ago. Pray. Yes, sir. We've got Badlands coming 00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:12.059 out in a couple of months. Yes, sir. Dude, how 00:14:12.059 --> 00:14:14.460 good was it seeing her at the end in that capsule? 00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:18.259 Yeah. Now, what I was looking for after I seen 00:14:18.259 --> 00:14:22.440 her was, was Arnie in there as well? Yeah, well, 00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:26.000 are we going to get her? Could you get Arnie 00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:30.240 come back? They did it in Terminator. Yeah, I 00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:33.139 don't know. Because the world looks very similar 00:14:33.139 --> 00:14:36.899 to what they were. In that end. In Killer of 00:14:36.899 --> 00:14:41.460 the Killers. Yeah, the Coliseum kind of. Are 00:14:41.460 --> 00:14:43.460 we going to see the characters that escaped? 00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:49.659 One Japanese samurai and what was he, Hispanic? 00:14:50.139 --> 00:14:53.940 Spanish fucking pilot. Are they going to turn 00:14:53.940 --> 00:14:56.759 up in the bad news? Well, the shield maiden is 00:14:56.759 --> 00:14:59.220 still alive. She's not dead. She's frozen, yeah. 00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:03.149 Oh, dude, I'm pumped, man. And that's the thing. 00:15:03.190 --> 00:15:04.830 This is the thing. We're speculating about it, 00:15:04.889 --> 00:15:08.370 and that's the best part. Excitement is just 00:15:08.370 --> 00:15:12.970 – I'm pumped, man. I'm so excited for it. What 00:15:12.970 --> 00:15:15.549 about the skull that the general's standing on 00:15:15.549 --> 00:15:17.570 in the Coliseum? How big must have that thing 00:15:17.570 --> 00:15:20.830 been for him to have killed it, and it's a trophy? 00:15:20.950 --> 00:15:26.549 It's fucking sick, man. The scale of the Yutja. 00:15:26.649 --> 00:15:29.730 Is that how we say it? Yutja? Yutja. Yeah. The 00:15:29.730 --> 00:15:33.590 scale of them, they were really big. Some of 00:15:33.590 --> 00:15:36.690 them. Yeah. Some of them weren't so big. Whereas 00:15:36.690 --> 00:15:42.029 in the first Predator, he was quite, quite, he 00:15:42.029 --> 00:15:45.690 was a petite king. Arnie was bigger than him. 00:15:46.389 --> 00:15:49.129 Yeah, yeah, in size -wise. But, like, we have 00:15:49.129 --> 00:15:51.350 seen different sizes. Like the one that they 00:15:51.350 --> 00:15:54.090 dragged out, they cut his tentacles or whatever 00:15:54.090 --> 00:15:57.070 they are off. Dreadlocks. Dreadlocks. He was 00:15:57.070 --> 00:16:01.309 a skinnier cast. Like, yeah, we've talked about 00:16:01.309 --> 00:16:03.049 it. I'll say it again. I do like that there's 00:16:03.049 --> 00:16:06.590 variation in these characters. Yeah. It's very 00:16:06.590 --> 00:16:12.470 cool. I was so – it was like every couple of 00:16:12.470 --> 00:16:14.389 seconds there was a scene where I'm like, oh, 00:16:14.610 --> 00:16:19.490 oh. Mm -hmm. It didn't go away. It didn't stop. 00:16:19.529 --> 00:16:22.110 Even after a fourth watch, it doesn't stop. It's 00:16:22.110 --> 00:16:24.309 funny because – Predator's never been my favourite. 00:16:24.509 --> 00:16:28.049 The Yautja have never been my favourite, never 00:16:28.049 --> 00:16:29.850 been a big fan of them. Didn't really like the 00:16:29.850 --> 00:16:31.529 Predator movies back in the day. Watched them, 00:16:31.669 --> 00:16:34.850 enjoyed them. Like I said, I've always been an 00:16:34.850 --> 00:16:41.750 Alien fan. I'm opposite. These guys, they're 00:16:41.750 --> 00:16:44.330 fleshing out the lore. They're becoming way more 00:16:44.330 --> 00:16:46.289 interesting to me and I'm liking them a lot. 00:16:46.610 --> 00:16:48.730 And that's what I'm hoping with the Alien TV 00:16:48.730 --> 00:16:51.690 show, that it shows me something from the Xenomorphs 00:16:51.690 --> 00:16:54.210 that I haven't seen yet. Show me some more lore. 00:16:54.350 --> 00:16:56.970 Great, perfect. Well, I mean, they tried to show 00:16:56.970 --> 00:16:59.250 more lore in Prometheus and stuff like that and 00:16:59.250 --> 00:17:00.970 that kind of, a lot of people didn't like that. 00:17:01.049 --> 00:17:04.890 But I fucking loved Prometheus. I loved Covenant. 00:17:04.970 --> 00:17:07.190 I loved them all. I think Prometheus just showed 00:17:07.190 --> 00:17:09.670 me more of the human side than the Xenomorph 00:17:09.670 --> 00:17:15.170 side. Yeah. I didn't, I didn't, Prometheus to 00:17:15.170 --> 00:17:19.909 me wasn't an alien film. It was more of a. An 00:17:19.909 --> 00:17:22.390 antithesis to the human race. It was more of 00:17:22.390 --> 00:17:25.789 that, the creation of earth. Yeah. But, dude, 00:17:25.809 --> 00:17:27.910 I'm so pumped for this next installment of Badly. 00:17:28.009 --> 00:17:33.210 Yeah. I'm so pumped. I like the crop circles 00:17:33.210 --> 00:17:35.470 behind the – Behind the mechanic shed? Behind 00:17:35.470 --> 00:17:36.789 the mechanic shed. That was pretty fucking cool. 00:17:37.410 --> 00:17:41.690 So more review stuff. I finished the Annihilation. 00:17:41.970 --> 00:17:45.569 Okay. The novel. I'll be interested to see how 00:17:45.569 --> 00:17:48.549 you go when you watch it. Watch the show. I definitely 00:17:48.549 --> 00:17:51.369 think it's better to watch the show first. I'm 00:17:51.369 --> 00:17:53.569 always that way. And read. I'm always that way. 00:17:53.769 --> 00:17:56.789 Yeah, because it's visually spectacular to watch. 00:17:57.089 --> 00:17:59.130 Really? Yeah, but they do change some things 00:17:59.130 --> 00:18:04.150 up from the book to the movie, which I'm fine 00:18:04.150 --> 00:18:05.609 with that because they're almost two separate 00:18:05.609 --> 00:18:08.630 things, but there's very similar beats. But, 00:18:08.710 --> 00:18:11.410 yeah, you get that picture in your head of what 00:18:11.410 --> 00:18:16.799 everything looks like, this Area X. Yeah, very, 00:18:16.900 --> 00:18:24.819 very cool. Yeah, right. So I think that's all 00:18:24.819 --> 00:18:27.599 I've watched. I've only watched Killer of Killers 00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:31.759 this week, Raid Annihilation, and I'm halfway 00:18:31.759 --> 00:18:35.259 through book 12 of He Who Fights With Monsters. 00:18:35.740 --> 00:18:38.799 Right, okay. Thoroughly enjoying it. Can't wait 00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:41.039 for it to be over, but at the same time, not 00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:42.519 looking forward to the wait to the next book. 00:18:43.319 --> 00:18:48.190 Right, okay. Look, and the fact that they pump 00:18:48.190 --> 00:18:50.309 out books as quick as they are these days, and 00:18:50.309 --> 00:18:51.829 when we say pump out, they're like doing two 00:18:51.829 --> 00:18:55.049 books a year. Well, so Travis Deverell, the author, 00:18:55.190 --> 00:18:58.089 who goes by Shirtaloon on Royal Road, that's 00:18:58.089 --> 00:19:00.950 where he releases. What's Royal Road? So Royal 00:19:00.950 --> 00:19:03.930 Road's kind of like, you know how fan fiction 00:19:03.930 --> 00:19:07.589 gets released online? Yeah. So Royal Road's more 00:19:07.589 --> 00:19:10.970 for people who want to make original stuff and 00:19:10.970 --> 00:19:14.980 release it online. Like a lot of books gain traction 00:19:14.980 --> 00:19:18.079 on there. That's what happened with Dungeon Crawler 00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:21.019 Carl. Yeah, right. It was released online kind 00:19:21.019 --> 00:19:23.400 of chapter by chapter, whether it's weekly, bi 00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:25.980 -weekly, monthly, whatever. People read it to 00:19:25.980 --> 00:19:28.059 the point where it got that much traction that 00:19:28.059 --> 00:19:31.539 somebody went, we'll release that for you as 00:19:31.539 --> 00:19:34.059 a book. Well, it's funny you say that because 00:19:34.059 --> 00:19:38.759 my dear friend Kira. Oh, yes, she wrote a book, 00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:42.460 didn't she? She's written several books. When 00:19:42.460 --> 00:19:48.779 we say she's wrote books, she's written these 00:19:48.779 --> 00:19:55.079 – she got drunk one night and decided to – that's 00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:57.480 not how you write a stall. Are these original 00:19:57.480 --> 00:20:01.880 books? Are they fan fictions? Are they spicy 00:20:01.880 --> 00:20:04.500 books? No, they're not spicy books. Oh, they 00:20:04.500 --> 00:20:10.369 are actually. So it's on – here we go. On Goodreads, 00:20:10.369 --> 00:20:15.789 it's got 4 .6 stars and it's got 2 ,693 reviews. 00:20:16.190 --> 00:20:21.289 Nice, nice. What's the book called? Store. Store. 00:20:21.349 --> 00:20:26.269 S -T -A -L -L. It's on, what is that book that 00:20:26.269 --> 00:20:30.849 she releases it on? It's a free, it's again where 00:20:30.849 --> 00:20:34.109 you. There's a few of these sites. Yeah. I can't 00:20:34.109 --> 00:20:36.069 remember the name of it. Where's she done it? 00:20:36.769 --> 00:20:39.009 We'll figure it out later. I'll put it. But she, 00:20:39.109 --> 00:20:43.730 dude, she's got millions. And when I say millions, 00:20:43.849 --> 00:20:47.910 it's not one. The last time I checked, there 00:20:47.910 --> 00:20:53.950 was 3 million reads on this thing. And she has, 00:20:54.269 --> 00:21:00.730 the way that she has, I've read a couple of chapters 00:21:00.730 --> 00:21:02.869 of this book and it's absolutely incredible. 00:21:04.190 --> 00:21:06.250 And she goes, I just got drunk one night and 00:21:06.250 --> 00:21:08.859 write. She just writes a chapter every month 00:21:08.859 --> 00:21:12.099 and puts it up. Yeah, it's very cool. It's so 00:21:12.099 --> 00:21:15.720 good. I think self -publishing is a very big 00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:17.960 thing these days where a lot of authors would 00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:20.819 have to shop their book around to different publishing 00:21:20.819 --> 00:21:22.859 houses and either not get picked up or picked 00:21:22.859 --> 00:21:25.740 up. There's so many stories of authors who have 00:21:25.740 --> 00:21:29.599 become big time, who have shopped it around to 00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:32.859 that many and it's just been somebody's picked 00:21:32.859 --> 00:21:35.059 it up on a whim or it's been an accident that 00:21:35.059 --> 00:21:36.970 it's been picked up. And they've become one of 00:21:36.970 --> 00:21:39.930 the biggest fucking authors in the world. Yeah. 00:21:40.069 --> 00:21:42.250 Nobody wanted to give them the time. Well, now 00:21:42.250 --> 00:21:44.950 you've got this platform where people can write. 00:21:45.289 --> 00:21:48.150 They can either, you know, get their chops by 00:21:48.150 --> 00:21:52.450 fucking releasing stuff that might be subpar 00:21:52.450 --> 00:21:57.289 to what they eventually release. Yeah. Or they 00:21:57.289 --> 00:22:00.750 can be like Travis Deverell or Matt Dinnaman 00:22:00.750 --> 00:22:06.539 who did He Who Fights the Monsters. Dungeon Crawl 00:22:06.539 --> 00:22:12.660 Carl, respectively, gained so much traction that 00:22:12.660 --> 00:22:15.160 they're just like, okay, we'll release this to 00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:18.279 people who want to read or listen. Like I said 00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:20.059 to Kira, I don't know how you get on Audible 00:22:20.059 --> 00:22:23.400 and shit, but I'd love to. See, that's something 00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:25.740 I want to do. Since I was in high school, I've 00:22:25.740 --> 00:22:27.880 wanted to be an actor or a voice actor or something 00:22:27.880 --> 00:22:29.940 like that. I'm like, I'd love to narrate your 00:22:29.940 --> 00:22:34.099 book, dude, because it's about a serial killer. 00:22:34.279 --> 00:22:40.460 Right. The initial story of how she started writing 00:22:40.460 --> 00:22:42.740 it was fucking hilarious. That's something you'd 00:22:42.740 --> 00:22:43.759 have to read the book for because I'm not going 00:22:43.759 --> 00:22:47.640 to blast her on this. Well, man, a lot of these 00:22:47.640 --> 00:22:51.059 people who read books, like narrate books, they 00:22:51.059 --> 00:22:53.160 do it from their home in their closets. Yeah. 00:22:53.380 --> 00:22:55.140 Well, I still haven't come out of the closet 00:22:55.140 --> 00:22:59.480 yet. I'd like to. Yeah, dude, I'd love to do 00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:06.269 it. And I talk. Yeah. So much. So, yeah, it'd 00:23:06.269 --> 00:23:08.230 be fun. Yeah, it'd be cool. And it's based in, 00:23:08.309 --> 00:23:10.869 like, her book is based in Melbourne. Right, 00:23:10.970 --> 00:23:13.569 yeah. So my Australian accent wouldn't be out 00:23:13.569 --> 00:23:15.849 of place. Well, so he who fights with monsters, 00:23:15.990 --> 00:23:18.789 the main character is Australian. Yeah, right. 00:23:18.890 --> 00:23:21.170 And the guy that narrates it is Australian. So 00:23:21.170 --> 00:23:23.869 there's a lot of comedic beats that I think you 00:23:23.869 --> 00:23:26.349 and I would get that international audiences 00:23:26.349 --> 00:23:30.109 might not. Yeah. Because he's a smart -ass Australian. 00:23:30.450 --> 00:23:32.950 Yeah, right. But apart from your views, man, 00:23:32.990 --> 00:23:37.900 that's all I've got for you. Actually, stop. 00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:42.579 Rachel, because I'm taking Rachel down to the 00:23:42.579 --> 00:23:46.880 Titanic expedition, exhibition, exhibition next 00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:51.240 week for a birthday. And she's been watching 00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:53.400 everything Titanic. But there's a new documentary 00:23:53.400 --> 00:23:57.940 on Netflix about the Titan submersible. Yeah. 00:23:58.119 --> 00:24:04.609 My brother was watching it. Bro. Yeah. Bro. How 00:24:04.609 --> 00:24:08.869 this guy wasn't arrested, I do not know. Yeah. 00:24:09.190 --> 00:24:11.430 They've released... You just kept pushing them 00:24:11.430 --> 00:24:13.289 and pushing them and engineers were quitting. 00:24:13.410 --> 00:24:17.529 Dude, they released the fucking sounds of this 00:24:17.529 --> 00:24:23.410 carbon fibre tube going down. It got to 3 ,000 00:24:23.410 --> 00:24:26.990 metres and it sounded like it was just fracturing, 00:24:26.990 --> 00:24:30.190 dude. You know how you get an aluminium... Like 00:24:30.190 --> 00:24:35.839 this. He's like, oh, we're good. We're good. 00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:40.160 We're fine. Bro, you weren't fine. I've seen 00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:44.160 the excerpt of his wife up on the ship, and they're 00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:47.019 interviewing her as he's down there and doing 00:24:47.019 --> 00:24:49.380 this descent, his final descent, and they're 00:24:49.380 --> 00:24:51.519 listening in and whatever, and they hear this 00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:54.599 particular pop, and she's like, what was that? 00:24:54.980 --> 00:24:57.420 And you see, like, the worry on her face, but 00:24:57.420 --> 00:25:00.440 then she kind of covers it up, and the people 00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:02.539 interviewing her keep on talking. But that was 00:25:02.539 --> 00:25:06.160 the exact moment that he was gone. Dude, there 00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:17.160 was an underwater observation area, 600, I can't 00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:19.839 remember the exact miles, but it was, I think 00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:24.799 it was like 600 miles, I think, away. And it's 00:25:24.799 --> 00:25:30.420 just like. I heard it. Yeah, right. It picked 00:25:30.420 --> 00:25:35.359 up the implosion from 600 miles away. Horrific. 00:25:36.759 --> 00:25:39.500 Horrific. The fact that four lives were extinguished, 00:25:39.579 --> 00:25:43.240 and you can't blink as fast as they were extinguished, 00:25:43.339 --> 00:25:48.619 but the amount of shit that this guy just ignored, 00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:53.279 man, and he put three other lives at risk. Fuck 00:25:53.279 --> 00:25:56.519 you, dude. You deserve to rot in hell. There 00:25:56.519 --> 00:26:00.119 was a kid on that submersible, man. He was told 00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:05.880 by university engineers. He was told, I forget 00:26:05.880 --> 00:26:09.940 the big firm, but it was, dude, he was told, 00:26:10.079 --> 00:26:15.259 don't do this. 50 unmanned to that depth. Do 00:26:15.259 --> 00:26:23.000 50 and then talk. He did five manned. He didn't 00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:26.420 listen, man. He sacrificed so many people's lives. 00:26:27.690 --> 00:26:30.470 And there was a guy who was a social media influencer 00:26:30.470 --> 00:26:33.950 who went out and he was going to go down to the 00:26:33.950 --> 00:26:37.730 Titanic. And he went out to the ship and for 00:26:37.730 --> 00:26:40.250 the six days he was on the ship getting ready 00:26:40.250 --> 00:26:43.690 to go down, it was shit weather. So he's like, 00:26:43.750 --> 00:26:46.529 you know, it's beyond. So they did a little dive. 00:26:46.609 --> 00:26:48.529 I think it was a 50 -meter dive he went down. 00:26:48.970 --> 00:26:52.349 And he's got photos on his social media of him 00:26:52.349 --> 00:26:54.839 with his feet up on this porthole. Like just, 00:26:54.940 --> 00:26:56.539 oh, look at me underwater, blah, blah, blah, 00:26:56.559 --> 00:26:58.160 in the submersible. Yeah, having a great time. 00:26:58.200 --> 00:27:02.160 Going in to see the Titanic. They interview that 00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:05.880 guy. And it's quite literally he left that ship 00:27:05.880 --> 00:27:11.259 two days prior to them going down. And, mate, 00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:14.619 he just burst into tears. And he's like, the 00:27:14.619 --> 00:27:16.980 only bit that's on the bottom of the ocean that 00:27:16.980 --> 00:27:19.960 they collected was where he had his feet. And 00:27:19.960 --> 00:27:25.870 he's like, why? Why was I allowed to live? Wow. 00:27:25.870 --> 00:27:28.730 Horrific, dude. So sad. And just hearing this 00:27:28.730 --> 00:27:35.630 carbon fibre splintering. Chilling. Horrendous. 00:27:35.789 --> 00:27:42.490 Horrific. Yeah. Fuck that guy. Fuck that guy. 00:27:42.549 --> 00:27:45.069 Fur in the arse with a pineapple, man. Yep. On 00:27:45.069 --> 00:27:49.549 that note, do you want to send us out? Sorry, 00:27:49.690 --> 00:27:52.430 everyone. That's how we're going to go. Yeah. 00:27:55.279 --> 00:27:57.319 Well, cheers for being with us on this segment 00:27:57.319 --> 00:27:59.460 of Prevailing Strange.
