WEBVTT 00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:04.719 From the Dungeons of Morningstar, I'm Clint. 00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:07.799 And I'm Stretch. And this is Prevailing Strange. 00:00:19.620 --> 00:00:23.699 Welcome back to this week's Week in Review, a 00:00:23.699 --> 00:00:25.679 segment of Prevailing Strange where Clint and 00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:28.579 I get to share our thoughts on some of the content 00:00:28.579 --> 00:00:31.210 that we've checked out this week. I can pretty 00:00:31.210 --> 00:00:33.549 much guarantee that Clint has checked out more 00:00:33.549 --> 00:00:37.130 than I have. So hit me, buddy. You say that like 00:00:37.130 --> 00:00:38.909 it's a negative thing, like all I do is watch 00:00:38.909 --> 00:00:43.929 TV. Well, I'm a busy man, so, you know, not all 00:00:43.929 --> 00:00:50.189 of us are. So I can't even keep a straight face. 00:00:52.670 --> 00:00:57.490 What have you watched? Well, today I watched 00:00:57.490 --> 00:00:59.429 the Fantastic Four trailer and at the end of 00:00:59.429 --> 00:01:01.070 it there's an alarm that goes off and if they 00:01:01.070 --> 00:01:03.009 just turned around they would have seen what 00:01:03.009 --> 00:01:07.269 the fuck with the alarm was. Matt Shackman, you 00:01:07.269 --> 00:01:09.430 should know better than that, buddy. You've been 00:01:09.430 --> 00:01:15.010 around, you should know. Blip, blip, blip. They 00:01:15.010 --> 00:01:16.349 didn't even know that that's where it was coming 00:01:16.349 --> 00:01:18.370 from. They heard the sonic boom coming through. 00:01:18.450 --> 00:01:21.469 So if they just waited, if they saved 35 cents 00:01:21.469 --> 00:01:24.090 on that text to let them know that there was 00:01:24.090 --> 00:01:26.079 something coming in. They could have saved at 00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:28.599 least $1 .40 on that. Okay, this is not Rant 00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:31.060 and Sundry. This is our week in review. I just 00:01:31.060 --> 00:01:34.579 reviewed a trailer that was shit. Actually, the 00:01:34.579 --> 00:01:36.540 trailer was pretty good, but that was bullshit. 00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:39.060 Do you want me to go first? No. Because I watched 00:01:39.060 --> 00:01:41.719 something this week. What did you watch? I went 00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:44.000 to the movies with the kids. You told me about 00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:46.959 this. And I watched How to Train Your Dragon, 00:01:47.060 --> 00:01:50.319 and it was actually pretty good. Let me guess 00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:53.370 what happens. It's exactly the same. I thought 00:01:53.370 --> 00:01:56.609 it would be. There's a few extra little bits. 00:01:57.590 --> 00:02:01.310 Like what? Some of the scenes are more extended, 00:02:01.450 --> 00:02:05.209 more kind of. So I felt like the comedy fell 00:02:05.209 --> 00:02:08.629 short a little bit in places compared to the 00:02:08.629 --> 00:02:13.389 original animated show, movie. Okay. Have you 00:02:13.389 --> 00:02:16.530 ever watched it? Yeah. Did you enjoy it? Loved 00:02:16.530 --> 00:02:18.530 it. Okay. So the comedy falls short a little 00:02:18.530 --> 00:02:21.889 bit and I think it's less slapstick. Especially 00:02:21.889 --> 00:02:26.189 between Roughnut and Toughnut. Yeah. But, you 00:02:26.189 --> 00:02:30.129 know, there was kind of things constraining that 00:02:30.129 --> 00:02:33.949 because it's not animated. But the dragons look 00:02:33.949 --> 00:02:39.590 fucking sick in this. And the emotional beats 00:02:39.590 --> 00:02:43.509 hit harder. This is where I run into an issue. 00:02:44.449 --> 00:02:47.810 If it's basically shot for shot the exact same. 00:02:48.110 --> 00:02:51.780 Basically. You're not doing anything revolutionary. 00:02:52.180 --> 00:02:57.159 No. Legitimately, you're not a writer. You're 00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:01.039 not a director. You're a copy -paster. I get 00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:02.680 that. You basically watch something and go, ooh, 00:03:02.900 --> 00:03:07.180 I'll do it with technology and actors. I think 00:03:07.180 --> 00:03:10.360 if you changed up the, yeah, made all the money. 00:03:10.620 --> 00:03:12.949 Yeah. Oh, yeah. Man, people are raving about 00:03:12.949 --> 00:03:15.189 it. Of course it's going to be good. But see, 00:03:15.310 --> 00:03:18.210 that's the problem, man. You remake these things, 00:03:18.349 --> 00:03:20.210 you're going to have the people that say, oh, 00:03:20.310 --> 00:03:22.550 you changed it, rah, rah, rah. Yeah. And then 00:03:22.550 --> 00:03:24.949 you've got the people that, oh, it's just the 00:03:24.949 --> 00:03:27.870 same thing, rah, rah. It's a slight upgrade. 00:03:29.050 --> 00:03:32.629 Yeah, it's like going from VHS to 4K. Basically. 00:03:32.849 --> 00:03:35.930 But, like, the dragons look way more formidable. 00:03:36.129 --> 00:03:41.159 They're cartoony in the original thing. It seemed 00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:45.520 to have more gravitas. It's more impactful. It's 00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:49.560 well worth checking out, in my opinion. I'm going 00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:52.580 to watch it because Logan loves it. Yeah. But 00:03:52.580 --> 00:03:55.259 I just, how cool would it have been, right? So 00:03:55.259 --> 00:03:57.300 the original How to Train Your Dragon came out 00:03:57.300 --> 00:04:04.319 2007. Yeah. So if it came out in 2007, say you 00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:06.680 were five years old, you're over 18 now. Yeah. 00:04:08.219 --> 00:04:12.009 Let's get dark. It is darker. Yeah, but when 00:04:12.009 --> 00:04:16.250 he loses his limb, is it like a Quentin Tarantino 00:04:16.250 --> 00:04:18.990 losing a limb? Is it like Toxic Avenger losing 00:04:18.990 --> 00:04:23.769 a limb? No. No. It's basically the same, but 00:04:23.769 --> 00:04:27.069 I don't know. Oh, I'm going to watch it regardless 00:04:27.069 --> 00:04:30.970 because, let's face it, the animated ones would 00:04:30.970 --> 00:04:34.689 fucking kick ass. Yeah. They were sick. I'll 00:04:34.689 --> 00:04:37.810 watch the other two if they remake them. Well, 00:04:37.889 --> 00:04:40.079 they are. They've already. Okay. They've already 00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:42.180 greenlit the second and third one because this 00:04:42.180 --> 00:04:46.160 one was just a stark raving success anyway. It's 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:48.939 funny because Toothless basically looks exactly 00:04:48.939 --> 00:04:51.959 the same. It's the other dragons. Well, they 00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:54.680 actually released images of when they were going 00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:57.500 to make it more realistic and they showed pictures 00:04:57.500 --> 00:05:01.000 of Toothless and he didn't look, yeah, he looked 00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:04.259 more real, but it didn't look nowhere near as. 00:05:06.149 --> 00:05:07.709 See, this is the thing where we're saying, oh, 00:05:07.790 --> 00:05:09.149 you should change it. You shouldn't change it. 00:05:09.189 --> 00:05:10.029 You should change it. You shouldn't change it. 00:05:10.569 --> 00:05:13.889 It didn't look aesthetically pleasing as well. 00:05:14.069 --> 00:05:17.269 Yeah. Yeah. I mean, Toothless has all this kind 00:05:17.269 --> 00:05:20.269 of emotion that it portrays through its facial 00:05:20.269 --> 00:05:22.550 features. If they try to make it more realistic, 00:05:22.910 --> 00:05:27.250 like that stupid smile that he pulls off to begin 00:05:27.250 --> 00:05:29.810 with. Even when the shapes of his pupils change. 00:05:29.930 --> 00:05:33.129 Oh, they go square and then they go the elliptical 00:05:33.129 --> 00:05:37.160 cat's eye look. Yeah. That changes and it changes 00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:41.459 the whole tone of that scene. It goes from feral 00:05:41.459 --> 00:05:45.319 cat to puppy to kind of. Yeah. I'm going to watch 00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:50.420 it regardless. So, yeah. But like I said, they're 00:05:50.420 --> 00:05:52.220 not reinventing the wheel with that one. No. 00:05:52.339 --> 00:05:55.120 They had me. It's probably for a whole other 00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:57.680 generation, like a whole new generation of kids. 00:05:58.420 --> 00:06:01.959 Yeah, I guess. And I guess it's now it's parents 00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:03.879 taking their kids and going, oh, I watched this 00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:06.680 when I was your age sort of thing. Yeah. Now 00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:10.519 I get it. All right. I'm going to start. Is that 00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:11.939 all you've watched this week? That's all I've 00:06:11.939 --> 00:06:15.279 watched. We have a podcast, mate. I've listened 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:21.240 to two books this week. What were they? You want 00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:23.680 me to go first? Yeah. And so the Red Rising series, 00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:25.540 have you ever heard of it? No. It's pretty popular 00:06:25.540 --> 00:06:27.980 at the moment. Pierce Brown. Sounds Russian. 00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:33.540 No, so it's basically we've started colonising 00:06:33.540 --> 00:06:38.220 the solar system. Red kind of alludes to Mars 00:06:38.220 --> 00:06:44.579 and the human race has kind of gone past the 00:06:44.579 --> 00:06:47.199 point that we're at at the moment and everyone's 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:51.980 in kind of like a colour -coded class. Right, 00:06:52.060 --> 00:06:54.439 okay. So there's like reds are worker class. 00:06:54.860 --> 00:06:57.220 Isn't it amazing that the further we go into 00:06:57.220 --> 00:06:58.860 the future, the more the classes are going to 00:06:58.860 --> 00:07:01.740 be divided? Exaggerated, yeah, divided. Yeah, 00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:04.819 there's like violets are the artistics. There's 00:07:04.819 --> 00:07:08.079 blues are like the technological. And there's 00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:11.959 the golds who rule over everyone kind of. We're 00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:16.660 going to be golds. Yeah, it's pretty much red 00:07:16.660 --> 00:07:20.120 rising. So lower classes, Mars kind of rising. 00:07:20.139 --> 00:07:23.350 Right, okay. Yeah. See, and that's the thing. 00:07:23.389 --> 00:07:28.149 The class differentiation is like even in time 00:07:28.149 --> 00:07:33.910 with Justin Timberlake. And then even in Star 00:07:33.910 --> 00:07:36.589 Trek, dude, their classes are all different coloured 00:07:36.589 --> 00:07:39.290 shirts. If you're a red shirt, you're dead. Always. 00:07:39.509 --> 00:07:42.350 You sign up for that. Fodder. Yeah, you're fodder. 00:07:43.470 --> 00:07:49.050 Yeah. I might like the sound of that. The opening 00:07:49.050 --> 00:07:52.980 act. Had me feeling things that I didn't want 00:07:52.980 --> 00:07:56.759 to feel in a workshop full of men. Shit, yes. 00:07:56.819 --> 00:08:01.019 Oh, yeah. It was pretty heavy. But then kind 00:08:01.019 --> 00:08:03.139 of in the middle of the first book, Red Rising, 00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:06.740 bogged down a little bit. It was very Hunger 00:08:06.740 --> 00:08:10.019 Games -esque, which isn't, I don't fuck with 00:08:10.019 --> 00:08:12.060 that trope, the whole kind of battle school type 00:08:12.060 --> 00:08:16.139 shit. Yep. But in the end, it fucking came back 00:08:16.139 --> 00:08:18.899 pretty good. I'll finish the second one today. 00:08:19.620 --> 00:08:22.240 and it steps away from that whole kind of thing. 00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:25.139 It didn't just continue to do the Hunger Games 00:08:25.139 --> 00:08:27.459 thing. Yeah. How many books are out of it so 00:08:27.459 --> 00:08:30.819 far? I believe there's five. Okay. Yeah. You're 00:08:30.819 --> 00:08:33.200 a late bloomer. Yeah. How did you find out about 00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:37.259 it? Books are sick book club. Books are sick. 00:08:37.980 --> 00:08:43.320 Mm -hmm. I like it. Yeah. In the future or? Yeah. 00:08:43.779 --> 00:08:46.779 Very sci -fi or not really sci -fi? Very sci 00:08:46.779 --> 00:08:50.129 -fi. My wheelhouse. Yeah, they've got, like, 00:08:50.169 --> 00:08:53.210 body mods and fucking futuristic armour and, 00:08:53.250 --> 00:08:56.070 yeah, it's pretty cool. All right, I dig that. 00:08:56.210 --> 00:08:59.529 I think I might give that a go. Red Rising. It's 00:08:59.529 --> 00:09:02.210 a graphic audio production. Nice. So it has, 00:09:02.210 --> 00:09:06.409 like, so the opening kind of scene, they're very 00:09:06.409 --> 00:09:14.450 kind of the people's culture, very musical. They 00:09:14.450 --> 00:09:17.700 dance and stuff like that. Very swelling, emotional 00:09:17.700 --> 00:09:19.940 songs and shit. I think that's probably what 00:09:19.940 --> 00:09:22.340 hit pretty hard in the beginning. So they sing 00:09:22.340 --> 00:09:24.940 these songs in this graphic audio where if you 00:09:24.940 --> 00:09:27.039 just read the book, it probably wouldn't hit 00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:29.600 as hard. Again, yeah. Yeah, it's quite good. 00:09:29.659 --> 00:09:32.440 Full cast. Nice. Sensational. I'm going to give 00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:36.340 that a roll. And what's the other book? Or was 00:09:36.340 --> 00:09:38.139 that just them two? So Red Rising is the first 00:09:38.139 --> 00:09:39.700 one. Golden Sun is the second one. That's the 00:09:39.700 --> 00:09:42.220 ones I've checked out so far. Yep. After that, 00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:47.149 there's Iron Gold, Morningstar. Hell yeah. I'm 00:09:47.149 --> 00:09:48.549 pretty sure it's Morningstar, and then there's 00:09:48.549 --> 00:09:49.669 another one. I can't remember the name of it. 00:09:49.710 --> 00:09:51.629 Morningstar, Morningwood. Either way, you're 00:09:51.629 --> 00:09:54.870 coming out with the winner. Yeah, dude, I'll 00:09:54.870 --> 00:09:59.570 give that a raise. Okay, so I've – mate, are 00:09:59.570 --> 00:10:02.090 you ready? I'm ready. I've watched some shit. 00:10:02.309 --> 00:10:05.009 Hit me. So we've seen two Peter Dinklage trailers 00:10:05.009 --> 00:10:07.409 today. Yeah. I watched a movie with him in it 00:10:07.409 --> 00:10:10.950 this week called The Knights of Bad Aston. Knights 00:10:10.950 --> 00:10:14.529 of Bad Aston. It's old. Who else is in that? 00:10:14.649 --> 00:10:23.809 It's got Steve Zahn, and it's got the bloke out 00:10:23.809 --> 00:10:31.309 of True Blood that was on his Ryan Kwan. He was 00:10:31.309 --> 00:10:33.230 in Home and Away as well, an Australian movie. 00:10:33.350 --> 00:10:41.299 So it's that, but they're LARPers. So our mate's 00:10:41.299 --> 00:10:43.019 going through a breakup and he's a fucking black 00:10:43.019 --> 00:10:46.299 metal, he's in a black metal band. Yeah. So him 00:10:46.299 --> 00:10:50.240 and his mates, Steve Zahn and Peter Dinklage, 00:10:50.500 --> 00:10:55.639 they all live in a castle and they're LARPers. 00:10:55.860 --> 00:10:57.879 And they're like, we're going to LARP, man. He's 00:10:57.879 --> 00:11:01.000 like, just broken up with his missus. He's like, 00:11:01.059 --> 00:11:02.379 I don't want to go on the LARP. I'm like, no, 00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:03.840 you'll come with the LARP. And they drug him 00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:05.059 and put him to sleep and they chucked him in 00:11:05.059 --> 00:11:07.940 the van. They take him to this LARP and then 00:11:07.940 --> 00:11:11.519 he starts getting into it. It's got – For people 00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:13.620 who don't know what LARP means. Live action role 00:11:13.620 --> 00:11:18.039 play. And it's just – look, honestly, if you 00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:24.820 want to just brain check just a great movie that's 00:11:24.820 --> 00:11:30.519 funny as shit and entertaining from start to 00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:36.899 finish, it's one for you. Honestly, I love Peter 00:11:36.899 --> 00:11:39.669 Dinklage in it. He's just – A bloke that runs 00:11:39.669 --> 00:11:41.990 around in knight's clothing, tripping balls and 00:11:41.990 --> 00:11:46.549 mushrooms the entire time. Oh, I think I've seen 00:11:46.549 --> 00:11:48.830 bits of it. If you haven't seen it, I'm going 00:11:48.830 --> 00:11:50.769 to kick you square in the dick. I haven't seen 00:11:50.769 --> 00:11:53.509 it. Because it hits every one of your beats. 00:11:53.950 --> 00:11:57.509 It's got music in it. It's got Peter Dinklage 00:11:57.509 --> 00:12:02.529 in it. And it's laughing. For the record, I don't 00:12:02.529 --> 00:12:04.889 laugh. We should. No, it's a bit too much for 00:12:04.889 --> 00:12:10.970 me. No way. No. We need to LARP one day. Yeah, 00:12:11.070 --> 00:12:13.990 I want to do some LARPing. But it's like a day 00:12:13.990 --> 00:12:16.570 in this LARP where they've got to go and do set 00:12:16.570 --> 00:12:19.789 tasks and there's things that – but there's a 00:12:19.789 --> 00:12:23.250 book that he's bought and he thinks it's just 00:12:23.250 --> 00:12:27.129 an artifact for the LARP, but it's actually a 00:12:27.129 --> 00:12:30.409 real artifact and he conjures a demon, a real 00:12:30.409 --> 00:12:33.850 demon. Okay. And it's just hilarious. Right. 00:12:35.259 --> 00:12:38.259 So, yeah, I give that a four and a half out of 00:12:38.259 --> 00:12:41.179 five stars. It's that good. It's just check your 00:12:41.179 --> 00:12:42.840 brain at the door, eat some popcorn, get a hands 00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:44.759 -on. That's great. Is that a four and a half 00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:47.519 stars on a comedy rating or is that on a four 00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:49.820 and a half stars against Interstellar as well? 00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:53.759 No, no, no. That's not. You're being subjective. 00:12:54.139 --> 00:12:55.919 Yeah, we're going to have the Interstellar scale, 00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:59.799 okay? This isn't on the Interstellar scale. This 00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:03.350 is just on the. Comedy movie scale. Yeah. On 00:13:03.350 --> 00:13:04.929 the movie scale, not the interstellar scale. 00:13:05.210 --> 00:13:10.049 Yeah, okay. I will, if there's ever something 00:13:10.049 --> 00:13:12.110 that comes up that gets on the interstellar level, 00:13:12.230 --> 00:13:15.289 then I'll compare. Right. As for now, Knights 00:13:15.289 --> 00:13:20.110 of Bad Aston, give it a watch. Another movie 00:13:20.110 --> 00:13:22.690 that I finished this morning, which you told 00:13:22.690 --> 00:13:24.389 me that I needed to watch, was Vampire Hunter 00:13:24.389 --> 00:13:28.309 D Bloodlust. Oh, yeah. If that's what anime was 00:13:28.309 --> 00:13:31.740 animated like. you'd sign me up in a day. It 00:13:31.740 --> 00:13:36.899 was good. I enjoyed it. I liked the characters. 00:13:37.100 --> 00:13:39.980 I liked that not everybody looked the same. I 00:13:39.980 --> 00:13:44.460 liked that. Very stylistic. Very, dude. You know, 00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:47.139 I loved how wide the characters were and just 00:13:47.139 --> 00:13:50.519 it was visually appealing as well as the story 00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:55.740 and it was great. That troop. Yes, dude. Oh, 00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:58.460 mate, they can project old love with a gun. Yeah, 00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:01.539 no, very cool cast of characters. I liked it. 00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:08.500 And I liked that there wasn't – I didn't have 00:14:08.500 --> 00:14:10.639 to watch seven seasons of something to understand 00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:15.519 it. It was really good. I enjoyed it. So I give 00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:19.159 that three stars. It was fun. I enjoyed it. I 00:14:19.159 --> 00:14:21.139 probably will watch more of Vampire Hunter D. 00:14:21.899 --> 00:14:23.850 It's the only one I've ever watched. Because 00:14:23.850 --> 00:14:26.250 I've heard the other ones kind of aren't as good. 00:14:26.409 --> 00:14:30.049 Right, okay. But that vibe in that movie was 00:14:30.049 --> 00:14:32.350 sensational. I enjoyed it. I really did enjoy 00:14:32.350 --> 00:14:36.929 it. Another movie I watched this week, Mickey 00:14:36.929 --> 00:14:40.690 17. Ooh. Yeah, I haven't watched it yet. The 00:14:40.690 --> 00:14:43.250 trailer looked funny. It's not funny. It looked 00:14:43.250 --> 00:14:47.809 like a comedy. It was fucking sad, dude. Oh, 00:14:47.830 --> 00:14:52.220 no. It was existential crises up in this bitch. 00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:55.679 Yeah? There was tears. Oh, man, they did not 00:14:55.679 --> 00:14:58.279 allude to that at all. I mean, like, okay, this 00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:01.580 whole, that whole subject of cloning yourself, 00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:03.820 reprinting yourself type of thing, that does 00:15:03.820 --> 00:15:07.480 very much lend to that. Yeah. It was some parts 00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:09.820 of that movie were freaking heart -wrenching, 00:15:09.820 --> 00:15:11.840 dude. Would you call it a dark comedy because 00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:14.019 it was dark but it's got comedy elements to it? 00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:16.299 There wasn't any comedy in it. I don't think 00:15:16.299 --> 00:15:19.350 I laughed once in it. Right, so they just cut 00:15:19.350 --> 00:15:22.110 the trailer to make it look funny. It was horrendous. 00:15:22.490 --> 00:15:29.110 Oh, no. Dude, Robert Pattinson, again, fucking 00:15:29.110 --> 00:15:33.429 wow. Yeah. He knocked it out of the park. Every 00:15:33.429 --> 00:15:38.450 single one of his roles you watch, completely 00:15:38.450 --> 00:15:41.309 different to the next. Yeah, he just gets better 00:15:41.309 --> 00:15:45.149 every time too. But he plays multiple versions 00:15:45.149 --> 00:15:49.490 of his own character in this movie. Each version 00:15:49.490 --> 00:15:53.389 is printed slightly different. Very Jamie Madrox. 00:15:53.629 --> 00:15:57.309 Yeah. So the two that have survived, Mickey 17 00:15:57.309 --> 00:16:01.889 and Mickey 18, they coexist for a time. But you 00:16:01.889 --> 00:16:04.269 can tell just by the look on his face which one's 00:16:04.269 --> 00:16:12.649 17 and 18. Right. And he's got a love interest 00:16:12.649 --> 00:16:15.090 in it. Who knows what he does? He's called an 00:16:15.090 --> 00:16:18.850 expendable in the movie. And it was. Completely 00:16:18.850 --> 00:16:27.129 out of necessity that he did it. The whole he 00:16:27.129 --> 00:16:30.149 was on earth and him and his mate had a bad business 00:16:30.149 --> 00:16:37.409 plan, making macarons. So they went to a loan 00:16:37.409 --> 00:16:40.509 shark for all the money. The shop went under. 00:16:41.149 --> 00:16:43.769 His partner, who is Glenn from The Walking Dead, 00:16:43.909 --> 00:16:48.350 put everything in Mickey's name. So they're like, 00:16:48.450 --> 00:16:49.990 fuck, what are we going to do? How are we going 00:16:49.990 --> 00:16:52.970 to do this? We've got to get off planet. So they 00:16:52.970 --> 00:16:55.009 get on a ship and he's like, oh, the only job 00:16:55.009 --> 00:16:56.809 they're fully going to accept because no one 00:16:56.809 --> 00:16:59.690 signs up for it is an expendable. Now, an expendable, 00:16:59.730 --> 00:17:03.950 you sign up and then you have no rights. Basically, 00:17:04.250 --> 00:17:06.890 they will use you for medical testing. If there's 00:17:06.890 --> 00:17:08.970 some sort of shielding that he's going awry, 00:17:09.109 --> 00:17:11.890 they will test it on you. So there's a lot of 00:17:11.890 --> 00:17:14.250 time there just watching him die painfully, dude. 00:17:14.349 --> 00:17:18.759 And it's sad as shit. It's heartbreaking. Like 00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:22.240 they just say, oh, it's closing down, it's closing 00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:23.559 down. He's like, get me out, get me out. And 00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:26.160 they're like, no, no, we're going to leave you 00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:28.079 there because we're going to learn some shit. 00:17:29.940 --> 00:17:35.039 So he's just getting tortured for 70 % of this 00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:37.400 movie. It's just Robert Pattinson getting tortured 00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:41.059 in different ways. Okay. So what's the continuation 00:17:41.059 --> 00:17:44.960 of his consciousness? Does he remember the last 00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:48.859 death? If he survives longer than 24 hours, they 00:17:48.859 --> 00:17:51.279 back up his memory. So at the end of every working 00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:53.859 shift, they back up his memory. But there's times 00:17:53.859 --> 00:17:55.700 there where there's one of them where he's like, 00:17:55.819 --> 00:17:57.900 oh, everyone's cheering around him. They're like, 00:17:57.980 --> 00:17:59.539 oh, you're going to be the shortest living Mickey. 00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:04.740 Woo. He lives for 15 minutes. So, no, he's not 00:18:04.740 --> 00:18:07.220 going to remember that. Yeah. But he's experiencing 00:18:07.220 --> 00:18:10.700 all that pain, all that anguish, all that sadness 00:18:10.700 --> 00:18:13.019 for the 15 minutes. And you watch it with him. 00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:16.720 Yeah. Heartbreaking. Disgustingly heartbreaking. 00:18:17.859 --> 00:18:21.940 It's not funny. It's not a good time. I was stoned 00:18:21.940 --> 00:18:24.019 when I was watching it, so I got uber emotional. 00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:29.859 Heartbreaking, dude. Just great movie, though. 00:18:29.940 --> 00:18:34.680 Good movie. Beautiful movie. Well shot. The sets 00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:40.079 are incredible. And Robert Pattinson just knocks 00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:42.700 it out of the park. Supporting cast is great. 00:18:45.180 --> 00:18:50.180 His partner, I'm pretty sure she was in The Umbrella 00:18:50.180 --> 00:18:54.660 Academy, knocks it out of the park. Great. Good 00:18:54.660 --> 00:18:58.079 movie. I would watch it. Will I watch it again? 00:18:58.140 --> 00:18:59.019 I'm still going to watch it again. Will I watch 00:18:59.019 --> 00:19:03.480 it again? Not right now. Give me some time. Another 00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:06.259 movie I'll watch this week, Sinners. Oh, yeah? 00:19:06.460 --> 00:19:09.880 Mm -hmm. You can tell it's a love letter to black 00:19:09.880 --> 00:19:17.450 culture. Mm -hmm. It's, you know, Mississippi 00:19:17.450 --> 00:19:23.970 during the prohibition. The prohibition is just 00:19:23.970 --> 00:19:25.630 breaking. You know, they've got people that are 00:19:25.630 --> 00:19:29.950 importing Irish beer and the two twins are gangsters. 00:19:30.089 --> 00:19:32.069 They've been in Chicago for a time but now they've 00:19:32.069 --> 00:19:36.589 come home. They've stolen a heap of liquor from 00:19:36.589 --> 00:19:40.049 a bar down there that they worked for and they're 00:19:40.049 --> 00:19:42.150 bringing it home to start their own little club, 00:19:42.349 --> 00:19:47.470 their own little speakeasy. And whilst they're 00:19:47.470 --> 00:19:50.210 organising this thing, it's essentially a day 00:19:50.210 --> 00:19:54.910 in the life of these twins. Right. And there's 00:19:54.910 --> 00:20:00.230 a part in it where right at the end there's one 00:20:00.230 --> 00:20:06.089 survivor and he says to another, up until that 00:20:06.089 --> 00:20:09.049 time it was the perfect day. And the other fella 00:20:09.049 --> 00:20:12.569 goes, yes, we were finally free. And it fucking 00:20:12.569 --> 00:20:15.549 just hits it, dude. That's the last line in the 00:20:15.549 --> 00:20:21.049 movie. Yep. And it's like, holy shit, dude. I'm 00:20:21.049 --> 00:20:22.849 getting emotional now thinking about it. I can 00:20:22.849 --> 00:20:26.089 see you cracking. Dude, I'm cracking. And it's 00:20:26.089 --> 00:20:30.089 like the worst part of my day at the moment, 00:20:30.170 --> 00:20:33.750 the worst part of my day is having to wake up 00:20:33.750 --> 00:20:37.069 and go to work. These fucking ball cunts, dude, 00:20:37.089 --> 00:20:40.390 had nothing. Oh, yeah. Had nothing. They had 00:20:40.390 --> 00:20:47.230 music. They had food. And Ryan Coogler just knocks 00:20:47.230 --> 00:20:50.609 it out of the park. Beautiful movie. Beautifully 00:20:50.609 --> 00:20:53.369 cast, dude. Everybody does their job in this 00:20:53.369 --> 00:20:58.250 movie. The music in it, sensational. The way 00:20:58.250 --> 00:21:05.630 it's filmed, perfect. The White Devil. The villain 00:21:05.630 --> 00:21:07.750 in it is a white fella. You're like, all right. 00:21:08.089 --> 00:21:14.190 I get it. But, dude, everybody does their job. 00:21:14.329 --> 00:21:17.569 And I was sitting there and I'm like, I'm sitting 00:21:17.569 --> 00:21:21.630 there trying to pick, you know, trying to pick 00:21:21.630 --> 00:21:23.890 where it was a double and where it wasn't a double. 00:21:23.970 --> 00:21:26.289 You can't pick, dude. Okay. It's so well done. 00:21:26.529 --> 00:21:31.809 No. But, you know, it's just – and they're – 00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:34.259 You know, the two blokes that have come back 00:21:34.259 --> 00:21:35.819 and they're trying to get rid of all this liquor 00:21:35.819 --> 00:21:38.039 and get rich, but they also want to give their 00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:41.519 people somewhere to go that isn't run by the 00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:45.220 white folk. So they're there and, you know, there's 00:21:45.220 --> 00:21:48.119 even a scene where they're just trying to sell 00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:50.960 their beer over the bar and everyone's like, 00:21:51.059 --> 00:21:53.079 oh, beer, we haven't had beer here for years. 00:21:53.140 --> 00:21:55.880 Oh, my God, beer, let me buy some beer. They're 00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:58.920 like, yeah, no worries, you know, 17 cents. And 00:21:58.920 --> 00:22:01.779 they're ponying up plantation dollars. And like, 00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:03.640 we don't want to accept that. We want American 00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:05.279 dollars. And they're like, mate, I'm sorry, but 00:22:05.279 --> 00:22:08.779 that's all we get paid. Yeah. So even when you're 00:22:08.779 --> 00:22:11.880 off the plantation, you still couldn't buy shit. 00:22:12.019 --> 00:22:14.460 You had to buy from the plantation with the plantation 00:22:14.460 --> 00:22:18.500 dollars. So it's just, it is a massive love letter 00:22:18.500 --> 00:22:23.220 to black culture. It's just, he's already signed 00:22:23.220 --> 00:22:26.619 on for another one, I think. Yeah, okay. But 00:22:26.619 --> 00:22:29.839 I can tell, you can see in it the amount of love 00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:33.410 that he's put in it. And you can really, really, 00:22:33.470 --> 00:22:38.289 really, really see why he said what he said. 00:22:38.390 --> 00:22:42.630 Like he said to the studio, you can have this. 00:22:42.769 --> 00:22:46.109 You can sell this. I'll make money from it. But 00:22:46.109 --> 00:22:49.589 in 20 years, I will get that back. So that's 00:22:49.589 --> 00:22:53.930 going to go to his kids. So everything gets brought 00:22:53.930 --> 00:22:57.930 back to him. And you can tell why. It's basically 00:22:57.930 --> 00:23:00.130 him going, here's my heart, here's what I want 00:23:00.130 --> 00:23:02.529 to tell, here's the story I want to tell, and 00:23:02.529 --> 00:23:04.869 he told it to perfection. And the fact that it's 00:23:04.869 --> 00:23:07.650 vampires, man, just makes it that much better. 00:23:07.829 --> 00:23:11.230 What's the vampire lore like in it? Is it different? 00:23:11.789 --> 00:23:16.130 You don't hear much. At the start, there's a 00:23:16.130 --> 00:23:20.369 Native American tribe and they're telling their 00:23:20.369 --> 00:23:23.849 story around a fire and they're like, this happened, 00:23:23.970 --> 00:23:26.410 this happened, that happened. And then you... 00:23:28.120 --> 00:23:30.779 meet a bunch of vampire hunters that are Native 00:23:30.779 --> 00:23:32.279 American and they come to this house and they're 00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:34.559 like, have you got someone here that goes under, 00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:37.140 that looks like this? He's not who he pretends 00:23:37.140 --> 00:23:39.359 to be. And they're like, oh, you need to get 00:23:39.359 --> 00:23:40.940 out of here. Get out of here. And they're like, 00:23:41.099 --> 00:23:44.740 okay, we tried to warn you. And they leave. That's 00:23:44.740 --> 00:23:46.500 the last you see the vampire hunters. Yeah, okay. 00:23:47.660 --> 00:23:51.440 And then the rest is just, yeah. See, I think 00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:55.599 that's really, that's excellent world building. 00:23:56.940 --> 00:24:01.279 introducing little facets of like everybody knows 00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:04.799 that's watching or most people know about vampire, 00:24:05.039 --> 00:24:08.200 vampire lore, that kind of stuff. Just to touch 00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:12.099 on little aspects of it. Yeah. Hint and then 00:24:12.099 --> 00:24:14.400 let it go. Obviously they're part of a bigger 00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:17.059 world. Yeah. This is just this corner. Don't 00:24:17.059 --> 00:24:19.299 hang on to it. Don't sort of bang on about it 00:24:19.299 --> 00:24:22.599 all the time. And one of the things I like too 00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:26.660 is then you've got obviously. The oblivious characters. 00:24:27.220 --> 00:24:30.259 Yeah. Because that drives me up the wall when, 00:24:30.259 --> 00:24:32.559 you know, all of a sudden the characters just 00:24:32.559 --> 00:24:34.759 seem to know how to take care of a vampire and 00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:38.259 all that kind of stuff. It's good when they're 00:24:38.259 --> 00:24:40.220 oblivious where it's actually happening to them 00:24:40.220 --> 00:24:42.019 for the first time. Yeah. I think that's cool. 00:24:42.940 --> 00:24:47.200 You know, you see, so one of the main characters, 00:24:47.380 --> 00:24:51.619 he's the son of a preacher. And, you know, you 00:24:51.619 --> 00:24:53.440 see a bit of that and he's like, oh, you know. 00:24:53.880 --> 00:24:55.720 Rock and roll music's the devil, blah, blah, 00:24:55.759 --> 00:24:57.140 blah, blah. He's like, well, that's what I want 00:24:57.140 --> 00:24:59.859 to do with my life. I want to play blues. I want 00:24:59.859 --> 00:25:03.200 to play rock and roll. So he's got this guitar. 00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:06.359 And this guitar, he tells his cousins, which 00:25:06.359 --> 00:25:09.359 are the twins, telling this story that that guitar 00:25:09.359 --> 00:25:12.480 belonged to a world -famous guitarist. And he 00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:15.680 owed us money, and we gave it to you. They're 00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:20.079 a very feared pair of gangsters. And, you know, 00:25:20.099 --> 00:25:21.599 that's the story. And it's like, blah, blah, 00:25:21.660 --> 00:25:25.000 blah, blah, blah. a story to why he's got the 00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:28.240 guitar. But the thing that gets even better is 00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:30.880 there's another story about the guitar later 00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:36.500 on that you find out about. And it's, at the 00:25:36.500 --> 00:25:40.960 start, it's a flash forward to the next day. 00:25:41.500 --> 00:25:43.940 So it's one of the lead characters walking in 00:25:43.940 --> 00:25:47.480 and he's got this guitar neck that's been snapped 00:25:47.480 --> 00:25:48.900 and it's got a point on it covered in blood. 00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:51.789 So he's been using that to stay. Because he's 00:25:51.789 --> 00:25:53.309 covered in blood. He's got massive marks on his 00:25:53.309 --> 00:25:57.490 face. And then his dad's like, put down the guitar, 00:25:57.650 --> 00:25:59.890 son. Because he walks into the church and he's 00:25:59.890 --> 00:26:02.690 like, put down the guitar. We'll absolve you 00:26:02.690 --> 00:26:04.490 of all your sins. And you're just seeing grip 00:26:04.490 --> 00:26:07.789 that guitar just that little bit tighter. And 00:26:07.789 --> 00:26:10.789 then it moves into the story. You're like, okay, 00:26:10.849 --> 00:26:13.150 so there's more about the guitar. And they don't 00:26:13.150 --> 00:26:15.549 just leave that hanging. They explain why he 00:26:15.549 --> 00:26:17.869 gripped the guitar tighter. It's shit like that 00:26:17.869 --> 00:26:20.119 that make him a great storyteller, dude. Yeah, 00:26:20.119 --> 00:26:24.180 nice. And I thoroughly recommend it 100%. Anybody, 00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:27.779 watch Sinners. Will do. It was good. And an old 00:26:27.779 --> 00:26:33.400 one, a movie that's as old as me, one of James 00:26:33.400 --> 00:26:37.259 Cameron's OGs, The Abyss. Oh, yeah, I haven't 00:26:37.259 --> 00:26:40.480 seen that for a minute. Dude. So still good? 00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:43.380 Still good, man. Yeah, nice. Still great. Still 00:26:43.380 --> 00:26:47.259 well acted. Still beautifully shot. The special 00:26:47.259 --> 00:26:50.559 effects, dude, still hold up. And it's 1983, 00:26:50.759 --> 00:26:54.920 I think. Still holds up. Still beautiful. Still 00:26:54.920 --> 00:26:56.980 incredible. The aliens in it are still one of 00:26:56.980 --> 00:27:02.380 my favourite iterations of an alien. The spaceships, 00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:08.980 beautiful, gorgeous. And the scale, and it just 00:27:08.980 --> 00:27:12.819 hits all the right notes. The thing that I can't 00:27:12.819 --> 00:27:14.440 believe in it, though, that wasn't a fart, by 00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:16.839 the way. The thing that I can't believe in it, 00:27:16.880 --> 00:27:19.480 though, Ed Harris is 32 years old in that movie. 00:27:20.180 --> 00:27:24.079 Yeah, right. He looks 50. That's pretty funny. 00:27:24.240 --> 00:27:26.680 Oh, yeah. But, yeah, I think that's all I've 00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:29.740 got for you in this week in review, my dear friend. 00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:33.740 Okay. That's it for our week in review.
