WEBVTT 00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:02.660 From the dungeons of Morningstar, I'm Stretch. 00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:05.740 And I'm Clint. And again, this is Prevailing 00:00:05.740 --> 00:00:21.300 Strange. Welcome back to our week in review, 00:00:21.579 --> 00:00:24.179 a segment of Prevailing Strange where Clint and 00:00:24.179 --> 00:00:27.379 I get to, you know, share some info on the content 00:00:27.379 --> 00:00:29.809 that we've checked out this week. Glyntaris, 00:00:29.969 --> 00:00:32.829 what have you checked out this week? I watched 00:00:32.829 --> 00:00:35.409 that Annihilation movie you told me I should 00:00:35.409 --> 00:00:38.649 be watching. Oh, yes. Honestly, dude. On Netflix 00:00:38.649 --> 00:00:41.710 with Natalie Portman? Stan. It's on Stan. Oh, 00:00:41.770 --> 00:00:44.009 okay. It's a Stan original. Dude. Really? Yeah. 00:00:44.590 --> 00:00:50.310 Dude, it blew my mind. Yeah. The imagery in that 00:00:50.310 --> 00:00:53.689 movie was sensational. Yeah, it's a visual feast. 00:00:54.009 --> 00:00:58.679 Oh, absolutely. And the story was... You had 00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:00.500 your guess and the whole way through you're like, 00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:05.019 what the fuck is going on? Yep. The ending, I 00:01:05.019 --> 00:01:07.340 didn't run into any issues. It explained everything 00:01:07.340 --> 00:01:10.459 basically. So it's been a minute since I've seen 00:01:10.459 --> 00:01:12.680 it and it's been out for a while so no spoilers 00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:15.000 for anyone. 2008 and it came out. Yeah. So how 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.920 does it wrap up again? I forget. Okay. So they 00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:20.840 go into the shimmer and they get to the, all 00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:22.719 the shit starts going down and they have all 00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:25.400 the - Area X. Yeah. No, no, no. Area X is the 00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:27.760 shit. the station they're on, they go into the 00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:32.159 shimmer. Right, okay. So they go into the shimmer 00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:35.299 and all the mutated animals and shit are there. 00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:37.340 They know from the first thing that something's 00:01:37.340 --> 00:01:42.780 not right. Dude, there's one scene where Oscar 00:01:42.780 --> 00:01:47.659 Isaac is cutting into old mate's stomach. I was. 00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:52.560 Oscar Isaac's the husband that comes back. Yeah, 00:01:52.579 --> 00:01:54.659 he's the one that comes back. And later on you 00:01:54.659 --> 00:01:56.680 find out that. He didn't come back. He didn't 00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:02.219 come back. So the shim is able to copy everything 00:02:02.219 --> 00:02:05.700 that goes into it. Copy, mutate. It's like a 00:02:05.700 --> 00:02:08.280 prism. So one thing comes out, heaps of different 00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:10.800 things come. One thing goes in, heaps of things 00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:16.539 come out. So it's able to clone, copy. And what 00:02:16.539 --> 00:02:19.020 ends up happening at the end is they've got to 00:02:19.020 --> 00:02:21.650 get to. this lighthouse that they know that that's 00:02:21.650 --> 00:02:23.710 where the shimmer started. And it's actually 00:02:23.710 --> 00:02:27.409 an alien race that's come down and landed. And 00:02:27.409 --> 00:02:33.650 they're trying to essentially terraform the planet. 00:02:33.789 --> 00:02:38.430 Right. Okay. The imagery of even just when they're 00:02:38.430 --> 00:02:41.389 walking through the shimmer and then you're on 00:02:41.389 --> 00:02:43.750 the other side of it, everything has like this 00:02:43.750 --> 00:02:46.770 rainbow hue except for the people. It's so beautiful, 00:02:46.870 --> 00:02:50.180 dude. And then they get to the lighthouse and 00:02:50.180 --> 00:02:53.759 there's just fractals and amazing shit that you'd 00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:55.919 see if you were on a fucking acid trip. Yeah. 00:02:56.020 --> 00:02:58.879 And it was just beautiful, absolutely beautiful. 00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:06.259 And then at the end, so she meets a copy of herself 00:03:06.259 --> 00:03:10.939 and then kills it and then finds her way back 00:03:10.939 --> 00:03:14.139 to civilization. Little do you know, though, 00:03:14.180 --> 00:03:16.500 that she didn't get to actually destroy the shimmer. 00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:18.860 The shimmer just took a different form, which 00:03:18.860 --> 00:03:21.900 is now in her. Right. So her and her husband 00:03:21.900 --> 00:03:26.300 are now both the shimmer. And it's that whole, 00:03:26.500 --> 00:03:30.740 oh, dude, just a great film. Yeah, okay. So it's 00:03:30.740 --> 00:03:33.719 very different from the book. Yeah, right. That 00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:36.659 being said, I haven't read the second two books 00:03:36.659 --> 00:03:41.500 of the trilogy. Right. Different beats, similar 00:03:41.500 --> 00:03:44.560 ideas. I did read that or that made the movie 00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:47.930 said he read the book. got the idea and wrote 00:03:47.930 --> 00:03:51.370 a movie based on it. Right. Not an adaption, 00:03:51.370 --> 00:03:54.509 basically. Even just when they're at Area X and 00:03:54.509 --> 00:03:56.909 they're looking out over where the shimmer is, 00:03:57.069 --> 00:04:02.409 because like it is, it's a fixed point at the 00:04:02.409 --> 00:04:04.629 lighthouse and then it's sort of just spreading 00:04:04.629 --> 00:04:09.669 out and it's slowly taking over the planet. People 00:04:09.669 --> 00:04:11.590 have been going into the shimmer, have me coming 00:04:11.590 --> 00:04:13.310 out except for one person, which is her husband, 00:04:13.430 --> 00:04:17.319 and he's not right. He's... I'm not right. So 00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:23.079 just looking at the visual and it's like just 00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:28.379 this massive screen and, dude, you've got to 00:04:28.379 --> 00:04:31.459 watch it. You have to watch it. It's great. It's 00:04:31.459 --> 00:04:34.959 such a visual feast. Yeah. And so the book is 00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:38.500 very different. See, if I read the book, I don't 00:04:38.500 --> 00:04:40.180 think I would have gotten none of that imagery. 00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:44.939 No. Very happy that I watched it first before 00:04:44.939 --> 00:04:47.040 I read the book. I don't know if it's something 00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:49.720 that you plan on reading, listening to. I'll 00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:52.720 probably go to listen. So I won't go into too 00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:55.579 spoilery, but there's a lot of different beats. 00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:58.240 The husband isn't the only one that come back 00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:02.519 from that expedition. It doesn't wrap up anything 00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:05.740 like that. Yeah, right. At least in the first 00:05:05.740 --> 00:05:10.829 book. Right. Where does the first book end? She's 00:05:10.829 --> 00:05:15.430 made it to the lighthouse. Right. And there's 00:05:15.430 --> 00:05:20.930 a bit of a showdown there and I think she's just 00:05:20.930 --> 00:05:25.389 content being there. Right, okay. So she's an 00:05:25.389 --> 00:05:29.149 entomologist? No, biologist. Biologist, yeah. 00:05:29.149 --> 00:05:31.310 Biologist, that's right. So it kind of gives 00:05:31.310 --> 00:05:34.509 this back story about how she kind of isn't really 00:05:34.509 --> 00:05:37.129 a people person, likes to wander off and check 00:05:37.129 --> 00:05:40.339 out these little ecologies. Right. And stuff 00:05:40.339 --> 00:05:42.980 like that. So she's in a happy place, basically. 00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:50.300 The first book, nothing to do with aliens. They 00:05:50.300 --> 00:05:52.860 don't know what it is. Area X is The Shimmer. 00:05:53.420 --> 00:05:56.120 Yeah, okay. The base is called The Southern Reach. 00:05:56.379 --> 00:05:58.480 Right. So it's called The Southern Reach Trilogy. 00:05:59.139 --> 00:06:03.220 So that's the project going into Area X. Right, 00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:08.040 okay. Yeah. Very little kind of imagery about 00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:10.319 that barrier. They cross. They walk through, 00:06:10.420 --> 00:06:13.699 yep. The way that they get in there is very kind 00:06:13.699 --> 00:06:16.300 of different. This is the thing. If you're walking 00:06:16.300 --> 00:06:19.600 that far, why weren't they in quads? Go on a 00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:23.519 dirt bike. So in the book they say they don't 00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:26.600 take very much modern technology. I believe in 00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:29.860 the book, in the TV show, the movie, sorry, they've 00:06:29.860 --> 00:06:32.660 got like modern kind of equipment, don't they? 00:06:32.819 --> 00:06:35.740 They've got video cameras. Yeah, well, they don't 00:06:35.740 --> 00:06:37.689 take anything like that. Everything's written 00:06:37.689 --> 00:06:40.550 down on paper, so there's a whole kind of they 00:06:40.550 --> 00:06:42.930 don't want to take new technology in there. Right. 00:06:42.990 --> 00:06:45.589 So in the book, do they have that scene where 00:06:45.589 --> 00:06:48.470 Oscar Isaac cuts the stomach out of Olmey? No. 00:06:48.550 --> 00:06:51.910 So you only kind of get backstory for him when 00:06:51.910 --> 00:06:55.050 he came back. And so he came back and they had 00:06:55.050 --> 00:06:58.589 basically, I think it was a few weeks together 00:06:58.589 --> 00:07:01.430 in their home and then the Southern Reach. She 00:07:01.430 --> 00:07:02.970 reached out to the Southern Reach because she 00:07:02.970 --> 00:07:04.129 could tell there was something wrong with him. 00:07:04.769 --> 00:07:08.009 And then he ends up. you know, passing away later 00:07:08.009 --> 00:07:12.970 on after a long time due to complications. He's 00:07:12.970 --> 00:07:15.230 not in the movie at all. Yeah. He ends up getting 00:07:15.230 --> 00:07:19.709 better. And it's not the shimmer. It's a fungus 00:07:19.709 --> 00:07:23.829 that recreates him in the book. Well, dude, one 00:07:23.829 --> 00:07:28.189 of my favourite scenes in that movie was where 00:07:28.189 --> 00:07:30.689 she was talking to a love that was the entomologist. 00:07:33.129 --> 00:07:35.069 No, she wasn't an entomologist. She was a... 00:07:35.629 --> 00:07:39.089 The linguist? No, no, no. She was the… Psychologist. 00:07:39.410 --> 00:07:42.389 I'm just trying to think. She was the botanist. 00:07:43.170 --> 00:07:46.509 And so she's like, you know, you want to win. 00:07:47.509 --> 00:07:50.689 It wants to win. I don't want any of that. And 00:07:50.689 --> 00:07:52.589 she's like, so what do you want? She goes and 00:07:52.589 --> 00:07:54.910 just walks off. And then as she's walking off, 00:07:54.990 --> 00:07:57.329 you see the plants and that growing out of her 00:07:57.329 --> 00:07:59.009 skin and shit, and then she just disappears. 00:07:59.930 --> 00:08:04.319 Yeah. And then you see all the plants that have 00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:07.000 grown into the shape of humans and that. Yeah, 00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:10.920 well, you do come across dead bodies that have 00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:13.959 become very fungal and overgrown and shit like 00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:19.000 that in the book. There's a hole. The first place 00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:21.040 they come to in the base camp, it's like a set 00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:23.259 of stairs that goes down into the ground. Do 00:08:23.259 --> 00:08:25.360 they do that in the book? It's like a big butthole. 00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:28.279 Yeah, okay. Well, this is like a set of stairs, 00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:31.800 like man -made. Right. And there's this whole 00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:35.360 weird thing where she thinks of it as a tower 00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:37.720 going into the ground, but the others call it 00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:40.500 a tunnel. And they all kind of argue over the 00:08:40.500 --> 00:08:44.240 kind of how they perceive it. It's kind of a 00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:48.120 weird cerebral type thing. And there's like writing 00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:53.149 on the walls in fungal shit. There's a creature 00:08:53.149 --> 00:08:55.110 down there writing stuff. Yeah, it's fucking 00:08:55.110 --> 00:08:58.769 different. It's way different to the movie. Yeah, 00:08:58.769 --> 00:09:00.009 right. Well, that's got me intrigued, man, because 00:09:00.009 --> 00:09:02.809 like I said, man, the movie was sick. I liked 00:09:02.809 --> 00:09:05.990 it. The fact that he's made Jeff Vandermeer, 00:09:06.029 --> 00:09:07.990 I think his name is, two more books after this 00:09:07.990 --> 00:09:10.309 in the trilogy. Yeah. I'm really interested to 00:09:10.309 --> 00:09:12.710 see where it goes, whether we get another expedition 00:09:12.710 --> 00:09:16.269 goes in, whether it's the botanist, because I 00:09:16.269 --> 00:09:17.669 don't know about the movie. I can't remember 00:09:17.669 --> 00:09:20.519 whether they actually have names. Yeah, I think 00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:23.240 they did. Okay. Well, in the book, nobody has 00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:25.580 names. There's the botanist, the psychiatrist. 00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:27.840 Yeah, right. They're told when they go in there, 00:09:27.899 --> 00:09:31.340 nobody's to kind of share personal life. Yep. 00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:36.019 Yeah, there's no new technology. It's kind of 00:09:36.019 --> 00:09:38.700 weird. There's questions still left there from 00:09:38.700 --> 00:09:41.460 the start of the first book that hopefully get 00:09:41.460 --> 00:09:43.940 answered in the trilogy. Yeah, right. Because, 00:09:43.980 --> 00:09:47.279 yeah, it was like even when they were cutting 00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:49.100 back and she was getting interviewed in the prison 00:09:49.100 --> 00:09:52.090 cell. By the doctors. They were in the suit. 00:09:52.149 --> 00:09:53.490 That's right. And she was surrounded by all them 00:09:53.490 --> 00:09:55.669 suits. I was like, oh, so she made it out. But 00:09:55.669 --> 00:09:57.590 they did it in a tasteful way. It wasn't like 00:09:57.590 --> 00:10:00.330 back and forth, back and forth all the time. 00:10:00.429 --> 00:10:02.549 It was just like when they had a question that 00:10:02.549 --> 00:10:05.850 was going to give you some exposition. Sensational 00:10:05.850 --> 00:10:10.090 movie, dude. I liked it. And then today I re 00:10:10.090 --> 00:10:13.129 -watched Good Omens. Oh, yeah? Dude, that is 00:10:13.129 --> 00:10:16.350 so good. The first season of that is sensational. 00:10:16.350 --> 00:10:18.860 I haven't seen the second season yet, but. That 00:10:18.860 --> 00:10:21.759 first season was so good. I started watching 00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:25.720 it and was kind of like, eh. Like, I like the 00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:28.539 actors, Michael Sheen. And David Tennant. And 00:10:28.539 --> 00:10:31.600 David Tennant. I love them. And specifically 00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:34.299 during, like, the pandemic when they were doing 00:10:34.299 --> 00:10:35.879 the online. They had their little podcast. Fucking 00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:39.299 funny as fuck, man. They're good guys. I like 00:10:39.299 --> 00:10:43.840 them. Yeah. I thought the show was a little campy. 00:10:44.139 --> 00:10:47.200 And we just were starved for time to watch shit, 00:10:47.299 --> 00:10:50.960 me and Steph. and it just didn't quite tickle 00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:54.820 the right bone to kind of continue watching it. 00:10:54.860 --> 00:10:57.679 We picked something else up. So one day I might 00:10:57.679 --> 00:10:59.220 have all the time in the world and go back and 00:10:59.220 --> 00:11:02.019 watch it. Give it a go. It is good, man. Even 00:11:02.019 --> 00:11:03.620 the second time around I enjoyed it. Did you 00:11:03.620 --> 00:11:08.919 watch Sandman? No. The second season is coming 00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:11.080 out soon. I've seen the trailer came out for 00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:13.779 that. It is beautiful. You've got to make it 00:11:13.779 --> 00:11:15.200 past the opening monologue because the bloke 00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:19.070 who plays Morpheus. Well, here's Dream, the god 00:11:19.070 --> 00:11:22.570 of dreams. Yeah. Dude, his voice is so sultry 00:11:22.570 --> 00:11:24.169 it'll put you to sleep. Yeah, right. I've only 00:11:24.169 --> 00:11:29.850 ever read volume one. Right. Not because I haven't 00:11:29.850 --> 00:11:31.769 wanted to continue. I just never got around to 00:11:31.769 --> 00:11:34.269 buying the rest of the volumes to read them first. 00:11:34.509 --> 00:11:39.090 The audiobook, the Audible original isn't really 00:11:39.090 --> 00:11:41.370 a book. It's a play. The BBC production. Yeah. 00:11:41.710 --> 00:11:44.529 And you've got James McAvoy who plays Dream. 00:11:44.789 --> 00:11:50.039 No, he doesn't play Dream. What's the other one? 00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:54.580 Jude Law plays Dream. And his voice is sensational. 00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:58.860 Just, yeah, beautiful thing, man. And to have 00:11:58.860 --> 00:12:01.539 it in your ears all day is a good thing. But 00:12:01.539 --> 00:12:06.700 I love them. You know, the writer has had these 00:12:06.700 --> 00:12:08.700 issues in the last couple of years. There's been 00:12:08.700 --> 00:12:10.879 some shit coming out of him. But separating the 00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:16.240 artist from the art. 100%. I hate that he gets 00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:19.230 money for it, but, dude, it's. He doesn't have 00:12:19.230 --> 00:12:21.350 to get money for it. Yeah, well, he would get 00:12:21.350 --> 00:12:24.769 fired. Fuck those guys. Yeah, fuck that guy. 00:12:25.110 --> 00:12:28.029 But, dude, yeah, I love that shit. Like, it's 00:12:28.029 --> 00:12:32.049 good storytelling, great storytelling. And the 00:12:32.049 --> 00:12:36.470 fact you're a piece of shit, that is why I can 00:12:36.470 --> 00:12:39.570 get you money. Speaking of less pieces of shit 00:12:39.570 --> 00:12:45.039 and more of the BBC productions. Have you ever 00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:47.879 listened to the Amber, not the Amber Spyglass, 00:12:48.100 --> 00:12:52.279 the His Dark Materials? No. So it's Philip Pullman's 00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:55.899 series. It's the, they made the movie with Nicole 00:12:55.899 --> 00:12:58.600 Kidman back in the day, The Golden Compass. I 00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:01.360 remember. That's the first book. And then they've 00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:09.240 made a TV show with Daphne Keene. Right. X -23. 00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:12.299 X -23. I've only watched the first season and 00:13:12.299 --> 00:13:14.799 it is. With James McAvoy as well and it is fucking 00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:17.639 sensational. Yeah, right. And the BBC production 00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:22.120 of His Dark Materials is fantastic as well, well 00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:26.980 worth checking out. But, yeah, I'm really interested 00:13:26.980 --> 00:13:29.279 to see how that finishes the TV series because 00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:32.840 they've done really well with the adaption. Yeah, 00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:36.379 right. From what I've seen so far. And that's 00:13:36.379 --> 00:13:39.259 a TV show, yeah? Yeah. On what channel? What 00:13:39.259 --> 00:13:41.700 channel? What streaming service? What streaming 00:13:41.700 --> 00:13:45.720 service? I believe it was a HBO. Yeah, righto. 00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:49.019 I believe. So that'll be a max. Yeah. Really 00:13:49.019 --> 00:13:53.720 good. Really high quality production. I took 00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:57.019 Rach down to the Titanic exhibit for her birthday. 00:13:57.200 --> 00:14:05.299 Yeah. How's that? So, doodles. Heavy. Heavy. 00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:12.710 You get to the last room and it's. It's just 00:14:12.710 --> 00:14:18.129 all the – fuck. It's just all the names on there, 00:14:18.210 --> 00:14:22.429 dude, and you see – You've been pretty in -depth 00:14:22.429 --> 00:14:23.789 with it the past few weeks. Dude, the last few 00:14:23.789 --> 00:14:26.110 weeks it's just been Titanic documentaries and 00:14:26.110 --> 00:14:34.970 just the amount of – when you see the third class, 00:14:35.070 --> 00:14:37.929 second class, and then first class, and just 00:14:37.929 --> 00:14:43.590 the names. And the amount of names that were 00:14:43.590 --> 00:14:46.710 in the lower class that perished is fucking heartbreaking, 00:14:46.950 --> 00:14:48.710 dude. And then you see the first class and there's 00:14:48.710 --> 00:14:50.769 barely, when I say barely, there's still a couple 00:14:50.769 --> 00:14:55.149 hundred people, but out of 1 ,500, majority of 00:14:55.149 --> 00:14:57.149 them were people that worked on the ship. Yeah. 00:14:57.690 --> 00:15:01.750 I think it was 2013 I was in Vegas and I saw 00:15:01.750 --> 00:15:04.789 a Titanic expedition. I don't know how much it's 00:15:04.789 --> 00:15:07.049 grown since then, but I thought it was pretty 00:15:07.049 --> 00:15:11.019 good at the time. Just. To go down there and 00:15:11.019 --> 00:15:17.919 see that and to see all the names on that wall 00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:21.919 and then you think 1 ,200 people died in the 00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:29.899 World Trade Center. To put that number next to 00:15:29.899 --> 00:15:34.039 those amount of names, 1 ,200 is 1 ,200. But 00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:35.639 when you see all them names there, dude, and 00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:39.909 there's kids, dude. His whole family's all wiped 00:15:39.909 --> 00:15:42.649 out. It's just fucking heart -wrenching, dude. 00:15:42.789 --> 00:15:44.990 Yeah. Heart -wrenching. You think you're taking 00:15:44.990 --> 00:15:49.330 your kids. And this is the thing, too. For a 00:15:49.330 --> 00:15:52.149 first -class ticket, for one first -class ticket, 00:15:52.289 --> 00:15:56.570 they had. like a comparison as to what else you 00:15:56.570 --> 00:15:57.950 could buy with the amount of money that was. 00:15:58.169 --> 00:16:01.809 Yeah, you could buy six tea bucket Fords for 00:16:01.809 --> 00:16:06.490 one ticket. It would equal to $126 ,000 in today's 00:16:06.490 --> 00:16:09.669 dollars for one ticket, bro, in first class. 00:16:09.870 --> 00:16:13.330 Wow. One ticket, $126 ,000 in today's money. 00:16:13.490 --> 00:16:22.830 Yeah. To die. Hectic. And then the white star 00:16:22.830 --> 00:16:28.320 line. The company who had it paid out everyone 00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:35.200 $1 ,000 in today's money per life. Jesus. No. 00:16:35.460 --> 00:16:42.019 Fuck that shit. Jesus. So you probably haven't 00:16:42.019 --> 00:16:45.600 had much time to complete watching Full Metal 00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:48.740 yet? I surely have. Oh, he's finished it. I've 00:16:48.740 --> 00:16:55.820 finished it. Fucking cried. Oh, dude. I fucking 00:16:55.820 --> 00:16:58.639 cried, dude. Yeah. To see the brothers at the 00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:06.299 end and to just have – fuck. It's heavy. To have 00:17:06.299 --> 00:17:09.940 Al confirm himself that he is a human, that he 00:17:09.940 --> 00:17:12.099 was a boy, that he was a person, that he wasn't 00:17:12.099 --> 00:17:14.200 just made up by his brother, and for his brother 00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:17.319 to sacrifice himself in that way, and then for 00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:20.289 him still not to give up. Yeah. He goes, I know 00:17:20.289 --> 00:17:22.509 my brother's there. I'm going to get him. And 00:17:22.509 --> 00:17:25.569 then at the end, it's Ed sitting there in the 00:17:25.569 --> 00:17:28.309 nether and he's sort of just waiting because 00:17:28.309 --> 00:17:31.529 he knows his brother's coming. It's like, fuck, 00:17:31.609 --> 00:17:37.089 man. Oh, yeah. Wow. Yeah. It's got the feels. 00:17:37.190 --> 00:17:40.130 It's a roller coaster. They really, really, really 00:17:40.130 --> 00:17:43.630 pumped in the ending. Like in the last three 00:17:43.630 --> 00:17:45.210 episodes, there were still balls in the air. 00:17:45.349 --> 00:17:48.289 Yeah. and like jamming shit down your throat 00:17:48.289 --> 00:17:51.910 to finish it off. Yeah. But, yeah, dude, that 00:17:51.910 --> 00:17:54.890 ending just with the brothers and realising that 00:17:54.890 --> 00:17:57.329 they didn't need their mother, they didn't need 00:17:57.329 --> 00:17:59.329 to bring her back, they just had each other. 00:17:59.349 --> 00:18:05.170 Oh, fuck. Yeah, man. A fucking cartoon. Oh, man, 00:18:05.329 --> 00:18:08.809 that's the beauty of anime and the fact that 00:18:08.809 --> 00:18:10.589 a lot of people don't give it the time of day 00:18:10.589 --> 00:18:13.549 is kind of crazy because it's a completely different 00:18:13.549 --> 00:18:18.690 type of art form. It can be so silly and slapstick 00:18:18.690 --> 00:18:22.690 and stupid half the time, but then just, you 00:18:22.690 --> 00:18:25.309 know. But again, it was Al that brought it home 00:18:25.309 --> 00:18:30.029 for me. Oh, yeah. He was, even at the end, he 00:18:30.029 --> 00:18:32.950 was still my favourite character. Yeah. And even 00:18:32.950 --> 00:18:36.009 Wrath, I started liking Wrath at the end, you 00:18:36.009 --> 00:18:39.210 know, the homunculus. Yeah. I even liked Wrath, 00:18:39.210 --> 00:18:41.089 even when he lost his arms and his legs and that. 00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:44.920 It was good, man. Thank you. I appreciate it. 00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:51.779 And I'll probably watch Brotherhood now. Brotherhood's 00:18:51.779 --> 00:18:56.740 tighter. Right. Very similar beats. Some things 00:18:56.740 --> 00:18:59.180 are slightly different. Action looks better. 00:18:59.339 --> 00:19:02.059 Yeah. But, like, I wanted to introduce you. I 00:19:02.059 --> 00:19:04.539 wanted you to go back to that. I'm glad I did. 00:19:04.700 --> 00:19:08.490 Yeah. But, yeah, I'll watch that now. Maybe give 00:19:08.490 --> 00:19:11.450 it some time to breathe. Yeah. There's the movie, 00:19:11.630 --> 00:19:14.809 Shangri -La. I've seen some live -action ones. 00:19:16.529 --> 00:19:19.890 Hard pass? Hard pass. Hard pass on all live -action 00:19:19.890 --> 00:19:23.230 adaptions of anime. They just never quite hit 00:19:23.230 --> 00:19:25.430 right. I heard Attack on Titan's good, though, 00:19:25.490 --> 00:19:28.890 the live -action one. No? They never hit right. 00:19:29.589 --> 00:19:31.910 There's something about them that's just kind 00:19:31.910 --> 00:19:36.279 of icky to me. Yeah. I get it. Yeah. I get it. 00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:38.339 The anime is there. Why do you need to watch 00:19:38.339 --> 00:19:40.759 the live action? Can you pause? I've got a boy. 00:19:41.220 --> 00:19:44.619 Yeah. So I believe it's called Return to Shangri 00:19:44.619 --> 00:19:47.819 -La is the movie that's based after the original 00:19:47.819 --> 00:19:52.579 series. Right, okay. It's not great. Gives some 00:19:52.579 --> 00:19:56.839 closure, though. It's an hour and a half. So 00:19:56.839 --> 00:19:59.180 you reckon watch that now or wait until after 00:19:59.180 --> 00:20:00.940 Brotherhood? No, no, no. Probably watch it now 00:20:00.940 --> 00:20:02.880 because Brotherhood ends completely differently. 00:20:03.390 --> 00:20:08.049 Oh, okay. Yeah. I would probably suggest some 00:20:08.049 --> 00:20:10.970 breathing time between the first watch and then 00:20:10.970 --> 00:20:14.529 Brotherhood. Yeah. I believe you said last time 00:20:14.529 --> 00:20:17.630 that you wanted something that was more geared 00:20:17.630 --> 00:20:21.710 towards adults. Yeah. Well, there's a few movies 00:20:21.710 --> 00:20:24.410 that you can watch that are way more kind of 00:20:24.410 --> 00:20:28.509 adult anime that are fucking sick. Like what? 00:20:29.470 --> 00:20:34.170 Well, the quintessential would be Akira. I think 00:20:34.170 --> 00:20:35.150 you've heard of it. You've never watched it. 00:20:35.150 --> 00:20:42.549 I have. Vampire Hunter D or Ninja Scroll. Three 00:20:42.549 --> 00:20:46.450 great movies from. Movies or shows? Movies. Oh, 00:20:46.509 --> 00:20:50.170 good. Yeah. Because that was so long. Yeah. Movies, 00:20:50.250 --> 00:20:52.609 completely adult, cannot have kids in the room. 00:20:53.250 --> 00:20:56.869 Okay. Yeah. What was it? Vampire Hunter D? Vampire 00:20:56.869 --> 00:21:02.009 Hunter D. Vamp Hunt D. Yeah. Ninja Scroll. And 00:21:02.009 --> 00:21:04.089 Akira. And Akira. I'll put them on the watch 00:21:04.089 --> 00:21:09.130 list. But fuck you. Anime, bro. Wow. Lame. Yeah. 00:21:09.309 --> 00:21:11.869 Tell me about it. But yeah, man, that's all I've 00:21:11.869 --> 00:21:14.630 watched this week. What about you? I haven't 00:21:14.630 --> 00:21:18.890 watched anything, but I – man, the only thing 00:21:18.890 --> 00:21:23.269 I'll watch is this, but I edit. I might get to 00:21:23.269 --> 00:21:25.009 watch something this weekend. I might be able 00:21:25.009 --> 00:21:25.589 to watch something. What are you going to watch? 00:21:26.009 --> 00:21:28.269 I want to finish Andor. I haven't even started. 00:21:28.390 --> 00:21:30.980 Yeah. I like what I've seen in season two so 00:21:30.980 --> 00:21:33.119 far. I haven't had a chance to finish it yet. 00:21:34.339 --> 00:21:37.539 Three episodes in a row, IMDB's top ten. Yeah. 00:21:37.680 --> 00:21:40.339 9 .8 or above. Yeah, I reckon. That's insane. 00:21:40.619 --> 00:21:44.079 Yeah, hectic. So, yeah. But, again, that wasn't 00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:47.099 written or directed by a guy who likes Star Wars. 00:21:47.099 --> 00:21:51.779 No, no. He's a historian. Yeah. Sick. I reckon. 00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:55.519 I did finish reading book 12 of He Who Fights 00:21:55.519 --> 00:22:00.190 With Monsters. Okay. By Travis Deverell. It's 00:22:00.190 --> 00:22:06.269 not for everybody, but I quite enjoy it. I don't 00:22:06.269 --> 00:22:08.609 know how to describe it. It's lit RPG. It's not 00:22:08.609 --> 00:22:11.789 a book book. It's not a reader's book. Right, 00:22:11.849 --> 00:22:15.390 okay. Very much like Dungeon Crawler Carl. Very, 00:22:15.390 --> 00:22:19.450 you know, splits. It splits a lot of people, 00:22:19.549 --> 00:22:21.950 you know. People enjoy it for what it is. Other 00:22:21.950 --> 00:22:24.930 people hate it because of what it is. I enjoy 00:22:24.930 --> 00:22:30.640 it. Yeah, so do I. But, yeah, so the main character, 00:22:30.740 --> 00:22:34.859 Jason Asano, he's an Aussie fellow. He's basically 00:22:34.859 --> 00:22:38.160 an isekai book. Do you know what isekai is? No. 00:22:38.500 --> 00:22:41.359 So in the whole kind of anime kind of realm, 00:22:41.500 --> 00:22:44.500 isekai is when somebody is taken from our world, 00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:48.779 playing mundane life, and somehow ends up in 00:22:48.779 --> 00:22:52.539 a magical realm. Right, okay. Or highly technological 00:22:52.539 --> 00:22:56.670 or they're pulled into like a, yeah. Some, almost, 00:22:56.829 --> 00:22:59.670 yeah, like that's kind of Isco. So they're pulled 00:22:59.670 --> 00:23:02.630 into another world and kind of. Yeah, right on. 00:23:02.809 --> 00:23:06.329 Yeah. So he ends up in this world when he dies 00:23:06.329 --> 00:23:10.769 on our world and in this world everyone has like 00:23:10.769 --> 00:23:16.269 the ability to use magic. Where he ends up because 00:23:16.269 --> 00:23:18.670 of some ritual that's going on is a bad place 00:23:18.670 --> 00:23:22.809 and he kind of helps these people, adventurers. 00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:27.960 helps them escape, but in the meantime, he needs 00:23:27.960 --> 00:23:32.039 to kind of learn how to use magic, basically, 00:23:32.140 --> 00:23:35.859 and the only magic he kind of has on hand is 00:23:35.859 --> 00:23:38.759 all this fucking evil -ass shit. Yeah, righto. 00:23:38.859 --> 00:23:42.140 So it's pretty much this whole story of nobody, 00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:45.200 everyone's kind of standoffish about him because 00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:49.500 he's this Aussie fella in a fantasy realm. Oh, 00:23:49.539 --> 00:23:54.049 fuck these cunts. He's like an Asian -Australian 00:23:54.049 --> 00:23:57.769 fella, just fucking sarcastic as fuck, never 00:23:57.769 --> 00:24:01.390 had any aspirations, ends up with these powers, 00:24:01.529 --> 00:24:04.710 dark powers. He's a smartass, and it's just him 00:24:04.710 --> 00:24:07.349 trying to get his way through this thing and 00:24:07.349 --> 00:24:09.990 nobody knowing what the fuck he's talking about 00:24:09.990 --> 00:24:11.990 because he just goes off on tangents and shit. 00:24:12.529 --> 00:24:14.750 It's entertaining enough for me. Are they long 00:24:14.750 --> 00:24:18.109 books? They're pretty long. They're about Dungeon 00:24:18.109 --> 00:24:20.589 Crawler Carl length. Oh, shit. It started off 00:24:20.589 --> 00:24:23.250 like good length. Now it's 28 hours for a book. 00:24:23.349 --> 00:24:27.150 I think the longest one was about 16 or 18 hours. 00:24:27.769 --> 00:24:29.190 That's still pretty long. That's still pretty 00:24:29.190 --> 00:24:31.670 long. That's still pretty long, man. So how many 00:24:31.670 --> 00:24:34.450 words? Yeah. I'm glad I don't have to read it. 00:24:34.730 --> 00:24:39.930 Yes, exactly. I mean, I'm blind the best of times. 00:24:40.230 --> 00:24:41.630 I know that's not what you want to hear from 00:24:41.630 --> 00:24:45.599 your tattooer. But. Not up here. No. Dude, when 00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:50.279 I'm close, I'm, mate, almost like a hawk. But 00:24:50.279 --> 00:24:53.700 as soon as you're like a metre or so away, it's 00:24:53.700 --> 00:24:55.259 like people say, oh, dude, I waved to you at 00:24:55.259 --> 00:24:57.200 the shopping centre the other day. I still haven't 00:24:57.200 --> 00:24:59.099 seen you, bro. Man, I waved to you on the way 00:24:59.099 --> 00:25:02.859 past a lot. Oh, shit. I beep, I flash my lights, 00:25:02.880 --> 00:25:07.299 nothing. No. It's like everything's in Minecraft. 00:25:07.539 --> 00:25:09.420 Like everything's just cubes and squares everywhere. 00:25:09.599 --> 00:25:14.859 Shit hasn't rendered yet. No. I'm waiting. But, 00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:19.319 yeah, I see people waving at me at the shopping 00:25:19.319 --> 00:25:23.339 center. I'm like, I don't know. It's just a blur. 00:25:24.200 --> 00:25:26.700 It's like even when Brett and Dave come in for 00:25:26.700 --> 00:25:28.640 a coffee and I'll be down the front and I'll 00:25:28.640 --> 00:25:30.839 be. I'm like, I don't know who the fuck that 00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:32.420 is. And I just turn around and keep walking. 00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:35.200 They're like, you rude bastard. I'm like, sorry, 00:25:35.259 --> 00:25:37.319 mate, I can't see you. You talk to me first. 00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:42.099 Yeah. Say, hey, Clint, how are you? Or from them 00:25:42.099 --> 00:25:48.420 cunts, oi, fuckwit. Accurate. Whoa. Yeah, that's 00:25:48.420 --> 00:25:51.099 all I got, bro. All right, cool.
