WEBVTT 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.720 From the Dungeons of Morningstar, I'm Clint. 00:00:03.060 --> 00:00:05.980 And I'm Stretch. And this is Prevailing Strange. 00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:20.579 Welcome back guys to our week in review. A segment 00:00:20.579 --> 00:00:22.480 of Prevailing Strange where Clint and I get to 00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:24.839 share our thoughts on some of the content that 00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:27.410 we've checked out this week. whether it be book 00:00:27.410 --> 00:00:30.550 reviews, movies or television too. What have 00:00:30.550 --> 00:00:33.250 you checked out this week, bud? Mate, I've had 00:00:33.250 --> 00:00:37.689 a busy week on the content. So I started off 00:00:37.689 --> 00:00:42.229 my week with Ironheart. Which I watched last 00:00:42.229 --> 00:00:45.869 week, yeah. I didn't want to like it. Didn't 00:00:45.869 --> 00:00:49.429 mind it. Yeah. Didn't hate it. I went into it 00:00:49.429 --> 00:00:52.570 not expecting anything. No, didn't hate it. Yeah. 00:00:55.420 --> 00:00:57.899 The character of Rewi Williams pisses me off 00:00:57.899 --> 00:01:00.219 a little bit. He's a bit of a whiny cat. Yep. 00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:06.799 The young bloke who plays the Hood, I didn't 00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:08.760 run into an issue with him at all. I don't mind 00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:10.519 him as an actor. He's in a lot of shit these 00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:15.359 days. Yep. But, dude, I liked it. Sacha Baron 00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:19.780 Cohen. Sensational, right? As, spoiler alert, 00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:24.969 it's everywhere, as Mephisto. Mm -hmm. Yeah, 00:01:25.049 --> 00:01:28.010 good. Holy shit, dude. What a casting. Oh, I 00:01:28.010 --> 00:01:30.390 couldn't have thought of that. Just the whole, 00:01:30.609 --> 00:01:33.590 he's got that, oh, he's going to be my friend. 00:01:34.129 --> 00:01:35.549 And then you turn around, he's going to rip your 00:01:35.549 --> 00:01:38.109 fucking spine out. Yeah. Like he's got that whole 00:01:38.109 --> 00:01:42.629 sinister friendliness down pack. Yeah. Right? 00:01:43.810 --> 00:01:48.409 Loved it. I loved that. Yeah. The little glance 00:01:48.409 --> 00:01:50.989 to the spoon, you see the reflection. Of his 00:01:50.989 --> 00:01:53.349 true self. Yeah. Yeah. I'm like, oh, I hope you 00:01:53.349 --> 00:01:56.750 see it. Yeah. And then because I stay away from 00:01:56.750 --> 00:01:58.230 social media and that when I want to watch something. 00:01:59.049 --> 00:02:01.129 I've seen some things where it's like, oh, Mephisto 00:02:01.129 --> 00:02:05.709 image is leaked and it's him standing in a room 00:02:05.709 --> 00:02:09.030 and it's him as his true self and it's like, 00:02:09.129 --> 00:02:12.969 it's not real. Clearly it's not real. Because, 00:02:13.150 --> 00:02:15.310 yeah, the only time you see him in the whole 00:02:15.310 --> 00:02:18.949 series is his true self is in that spoon. You 00:02:18.949 --> 00:02:22.490 were right. The suits looked great. The one at 00:02:22.490 --> 00:02:26.060 the start was. My favourite. Oh, yeah. I hated 00:02:26.060 --> 00:02:31.659 the whole we're going to pull apart a barracuda 00:02:31.659 --> 00:02:35.340 and we're going to make a suit. That was the 00:02:35.340 --> 00:02:37.460 issue I ran into. No, you're not. Yeah. You're 00:02:37.460 --> 00:02:40.319 not. It's sheet metal that's 0 .6 of a mil thick. 00:02:40.819 --> 00:02:43.379 Yeah, and you don't maintain the colour of it. 00:02:44.099 --> 00:02:48.259 No. When you bend it, cut it. No. I get what 00:02:48.259 --> 00:02:50.819 they're doing, but. I mean, it's good for the 00:02:50.819 --> 00:02:53.400 layman that doesn't know cars, but. No, but you 00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:55.159 didn't have to do that. Why would you tear apart 00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:57.300 a car that you and your dad built and your mum 00:02:57.300 --> 00:03:00.719 had just gone and found for you? Yes, maybe take 00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:02.860 a badge off it or something and put it on the 00:03:02.860 --> 00:03:07.460 suit. Do something maybe to do that, but you 00:03:07.460 --> 00:03:10.020 don't. Paint your old suit the same colour as 00:03:10.020 --> 00:03:13.280 the car. Yeah. You don't pull apart a fucking 00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:18.060 Mopar. Yeah. Yeah, that was the issue I ran into 00:03:18.060 --> 00:03:21.879 with it, that and the wokeness. But besides that 00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:24.219 - See, I didn't run into an issue with the wokeness 00:03:24.219 --> 00:03:26.939 that much though because like Shea Kool -Aid, 00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:30.319 I like Shea Kool -Aid anyway because I've watched 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:33.199 Drag Race a lot during lockdown. I didn't have 00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:36.539 a problem with it, but it was like they were 00:03:36.539 --> 00:03:42.120 forcing an agenda. A little bit. Yeah, I didn't 00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:45.219 run into it, but that's - Probably because I 00:03:45.219 --> 00:03:47.319 was picking things with the show as a whole. 00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:52.199 I ran into more issues with the tattooing, to 00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:54.379 be honest with you, because there's no way that 00:03:54.379 --> 00:03:56.539 someone gets a fucking full bodysuit like that 00:03:56.539 --> 00:04:00.439 in a week. Yeah. Please. I've been tattooed. 00:04:00.460 --> 00:04:05.800 Yeah. No chance. Ezekiel. Did you like him? I 00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:07.900 liked him, yeah. The Iron Munger, I did like 00:04:07.900 --> 00:04:12.460 him. Ezekiel Stain, son of Iron Munger. I am 00:04:12.460 --> 00:04:15.240 excited to see him. I would like him to find 00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:20.420 a home in the Thunderbolts, to be honest. I know 00:04:20.420 --> 00:04:25.259 he may be a villain later on, but I really liked 00:04:25.259 --> 00:04:27.420 him as a character. And I liked the bloke who 00:04:27.420 --> 00:04:29.920 played, like, Han Solo played him. Yeah. And 00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:32.000 I thought he'd done a good job. Yeah. I could 00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:34.699 see him being redeemed and playing a good guy. 00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:37.939 I reckon. Yeah. I didn't run into as many issues 00:04:37.939 --> 00:04:40.879 as I thought I did. Really well self -contained 00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:45.899 story. A kid just sells his soul to the devil 00:04:45.899 --> 00:04:50.899 and wants to be powerful. He's been ignored by 00:04:50.899 --> 00:04:57.040 his father and disowned by his dad. Get it? Shizzer 00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:03.819 sounds relatable. But you could see it wasn't 00:05:03.819 --> 00:05:05.639 a story that needed to be told. I'm glad it was 00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:11.740 because it was a good show to watch. I just didn't. 00:05:12.590 --> 00:05:15.170 You know what my favourite part of the suit at 00:05:15.170 --> 00:05:17.889 the end was? The feet. Yeah. How did the wheels 00:05:17.889 --> 00:05:21.350 in it? Yeah. I like that. I do like that her 00:05:21.350 --> 00:05:24.290 hands aren't the hands of the suit. She has like 00:05:24.290 --> 00:05:26.769 the extensions. Exactly. And her feet, she gives 00:05:26.769 --> 00:05:28.769 her a bit more stance because she's only a short. 00:05:28.769 --> 00:05:33.730 She's a short queen. Yeah. You destroyed your 00:05:33.730 --> 00:05:37.209 car and the suit lasted 15 minutes. Yeah. You're 00:05:37.209 --> 00:05:41.629 an idiot. Yeah. I felt that. The designs for 00:05:41.629 --> 00:05:44.470 the suit may have taken some inspiration from 00:05:44.470 --> 00:05:47.629 an anime from the 90s called Bubblegum Crisis. 00:05:48.550 --> 00:05:51.970 Pretty good show back in the day. A bunch of 00:05:51.970 --> 00:05:55.930 women running around in mech suits, very similar, 00:05:56.069 --> 00:05:58.389 all got the heels and stuff like that. That's 00:05:58.389 --> 00:06:01.649 pretty cool. But, yeah, I kind of saw those little 00:06:01.649 --> 00:06:05.970 touches in there. But, yeah. I'm glad you told 00:06:05.970 --> 00:06:07.790 me to watch it because I did enjoy it. It was 00:06:07.790 --> 00:06:10.879 pretty good. Will I rewatch? Probably not. No. 00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:14.240 Yeah, no. One and done. Yeah. The flashbacks 00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:21.300 and when the whole when she's sitting there watching 00:06:21.300 --> 00:06:23.660 her and her dad dance in the garage, fuck me, 00:06:23.740 --> 00:06:33.019 it was wholesome as shit. Yeah. I didn't – I 00:06:33.019 --> 00:06:37.540 don't know how she was able to create that AI 00:06:37.540 --> 00:06:43.839 though. And they never explain it. Yeah. I think 00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:47.240 the whole idea was it was influenced by her dreams 00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:50.779 of her. Because she fell asleep while she was 00:06:50.779 --> 00:06:52.939 doing the brain scan. Well, could you imagine 00:06:52.939 --> 00:06:55.019 she fell asleep and dreamed of a porno, dude? 00:06:55.680 --> 00:07:00.019 What's going to be the AI then? Yeah. I thought, 00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:02.899 yeah, it was cool, but at the same time it fell 00:07:02.899 --> 00:07:08.920 a little bit short on that whole thing. I think 00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:12.399 it would have been better if the AI was more 00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:17.100 limited and then at the end when the deal struck 00:07:17.100 --> 00:07:19.639 and she's back. See, that's the thing. Did she 00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:22.899 make the deal though? Yeah. Are you sure? She 00:07:22.899 --> 00:07:25.600 hugged her at the end. She has physical form. 00:07:25.779 --> 00:07:29.019 Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, no, she'd made the deal. 00:07:29.259 --> 00:07:37.029 Yeah, that's right. I liked it. Yeah. Marvel 00:07:37.029 --> 00:07:41.649 TV scale, I'll give it a three out of five. Yeah. 00:07:41.810 --> 00:07:45.449 I'll put that – that's up there with Agatha all 00:07:45.449 --> 00:07:48.029 along. That was another show I enjoyed. Still 00:07:48.029 --> 00:07:49.149 haven't watched that. I'll have to give that 00:07:49.149 --> 00:07:51.730 a go. It was good, man. Yeah. It was really good. 00:07:52.810 --> 00:07:55.310 Death in it was a highlight for me. Yeah. Aubrey 00:07:55.310 --> 00:08:00.189 Plaza is death. Mm -hmm. Killed it. Yeah. Yeah, 00:08:00.230 --> 00:08:03.500 there are parts in that too that got me. Because 00:08:03.500 --> 00:08:05.439 at the end of the day, she was just a heartbroken 00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:08.959 mum that missed a kid. And that got me as well. 00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:11.879 And it was a good show. I liked it. Special effects 00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:16.480 were good. And Aubrey Pizer killed her. I'm so 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:18.740 excited to see her coming into the MCU because 00:08:18.740 --> 00:08:20.660 Kevin Feige has already said he's bringing her 00:08:20.660 --> 00:08:24.420 in. Yeah, nice. So she's going to be a more permanent 00:08:24.420 --> 00:08:26.199 fixture. It's not just going to be a one -story 00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:29.089 done for death. Yeah, that's good. She's got 00:08:29.089 --> 00:08:31.970 the star power. Oh, dude, and she kills it, man. 00:08:32.090 --> 00:08:34.210 Yeah, she's a great actress. You haven't seen 00:08:34.210 --> 00:08:36.169 it. Oh, you haven't seen it. Yeah, but, dude, 00:08:36.269 --> 00:08:39.230 if you just go to YouTube and look at Aubrey 00:08:39.230 --> 00:08:41.289 Plaza death scenes. Oh, man, I've seen plenty 00:08:41.289 --> 00:08:43.610 of it across the socials. Not just the looks, 00:08:43.690 --> 00:08:46.090 man, not just the skull face and that. Oh, yeah, 00:08:46.110 --> 00:08:48.190 no, I've seen snippets of the show. She kills 00:08:48.190 --> 00:08:54.389 it. Another bit of what have you watched? Me 00:08:54.389 --> 00:08:57.370 and Landon still on the path to watching all 00:08:57.370 --> 00:08:59.830 the Marvel movies. Beautiful. We did Iron Man 00:08:59.830 --> 00:09:02.490 2, Thor, and Captain America last night. So he's 00:09:02.490 --> 00:09:04.970 watching them in order? In order of release, 00:09:05.149 --> 00:09:09.210 yep. Oh, release? Yeah. Gay? Did you say gay? 00:09:09.429 --> 00:09:15.649 Yeah. Why? Watch them in order. Of release? No. 00:09:17.070 --> 00:09:21.269 Timeline order. No. No. Gay. No. Watch them as 00:09:21.269 --> 00:09:23.429 they bring them out because. Then you jump backwards 00:09:23.429 --> 00:09:25.750 and forwards with the fucking post -credit scenes 00:09:25.750 --> 00:09:30.809 and shit. Okay. Yeah. What I took from it, Captain 00:09:30.809 --> 00:09:33.110 America was way better than I thought, than I 00:09:33.110 --> 00:09:35.769 remember it being. Dude, great movie, man. I 00:09:35.769 --> 00:09:38.850 watched it once, never watched it again because 00:09:38.850 --> 00:09:41.509 I thought it was one of the weaker movies. Don't 00:09:41.509 --> 00:09:43.929 know why. Everybody did. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I 00:09:43.929 --> 00:09:47.690 loved it, dude. I think that was, oh, no. Iron 00:09:47.690 --> 00:09:53.980 Man's still my favourite. Phase one? No, no, 00:09:53.980 --> 00:09:57.460 no, no, no. Not phase one. Like Origin. Standalone. 00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:00.440 Or Origin. Origin. Still one of my favourite 00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:03.519 Origins. Yep. Captain America is a close second 00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:06.559 for that. It's a good one. Yeah. I liked it. 00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:09.259 I think it definitely gets better on a rewatch. 00:10:09.500 --> 00:10:14.620 Oh, for sure. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. And his chest 00:10:14.620 --> 00:10:16.320 looks so good in that. I don't think his chest 00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:18.460 would look that good any other time. When he 00:10:18.460 --> 00:10:23.970 comes out of there. And Peggy just touches his 00:10:23.970 --> 00:10:26.929 chest. She didn't even mean to do that. She couldn't 00:10:26.929 --> 00:10:28.950 help herself. I couldn't help myself. I'd lick 00:10:28.950 --> 00:10:31.669 him. Peggy's chest looks good in that too. No, 00:10:31.789 --> 00:10:37.009 we'll go back to caps. Yeah, so we're still on 00:10:37.009 --> 00:10:38.690 that bandwagon. Nice. We'll continue on with 00:10:38.690 --> 00:10:45.250 that. I watched Old Guard 2. Oh, yeah? Great. 00:10:45.610 --> 00:10:49.990 Great movie. Ends on a very open end, so we're 00:10:49.990 --> 00:10:51.940 definitely going to get a part three. All right, 00:10:51.940 --> 00:10:54.600 okay. Which I'm not upset about at all. She'll 00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:56.340 leave Sarah on. Looks like she hasn't aged a 00:10:56.340 --> 00:11:02.860 fucking day. Yep. I don't know how. Thoroughly 00:11:02.860 --> 00:11:07.379 recommend Old Guard 2. Yep. And like I said, 00:11:07.460 --> 00:11:12.039 it opens – it closes very open. Yep. So you'll 00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:13.820 – we're definitely going to see a part three. 00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:17.379 Yeah, nice. If you watch more – I've read two 00:11:17.379 --> 00:11:21.299 books. Oh, okay. Okay. You've read two books. 00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:25.860 Yeah. One was called This Is How We Lose the 00:11:25.860 --> 00:11:29.940 Time War. Very short, very short. Oh, yeah. Very 00:11:29.940 --> 00:11:33.639 interesting premise. I kind of saw what was happening 00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:37.639 from the get -go. A lot of people lured it and 00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:41.220 I think it slightly fell short. So it's basically 00:11:41.220 --> 00:11:45.820 these two entities, people, time travellers. 00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:48.840 going backwards and forwards through time and 00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:51.759 manipulating certain events on different timelines. 00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:56.139 And they call themselves Red and Blue from the 00:11:56.139 --> 00:12:00.379 two different factions. Okay. Basically it takes 00:12:00.379 --> 00:12:04.320 like it's a bit Shakespearean. I'll leave that 00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:07.460 open -ended for anybody that may want to read 00:12:07.460 --> 00:12:11.279 it. But, yeah, in the end it was all right. I 00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:13.799 gave it three stars. Yeah, fair enough. And the 00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:17.309 second book I listened to this week. was by Joe 00:12:17.309 --> 00:12:19.970 Abercrombie, which I've been meaning to get into 00:12:19.970 --> 00:12:22.850 his books for a while now, but all his stuff 00:12:22.850 --> 00:12:25.990 is like series. And I thought this was going 00:12:25.990 --> 00:12:27.730 to be a series. I thought this was going to be 00:12:27.730 --> 00:12:29.169 a one -off, but it's not. It's a series. It's 00:12:29.169 --> 00:12:32.590 called The Devils. Very League of Extraordinary 00:12:32.590 --> 00:12:35.590 Gentlemen. Yes, it is. Kind of found family, 00:12:35.789 --> 00:12:42.970 kind of that kind of esk feeling. Very fun. You 00:12:42.970 --> 00:12:48.669 have... You have a Nordic werewolf. You have 00:12:48.669 --> 00:12:57.990 a vampire. Fuck yeah. A soldier who's very dory 00:12:57.990 --> 00:13:01.690 and grey. Right. A priest who's in charge of 00:13:01.690 --> 00:13:04.929 looking after him who doesn't want to be a monk. 00:13:05.610 --> 00:13:08.649 Okay. I was going to say, is this a children's 00:13:08.649 --> 00:13:12.080 book? No. He's looking after the children. No, 00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:15.019 no. They are his flock that he has to look after. 00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:20.559 They are part of the church. Right. And they're 00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:23.000 like a force of the church. So it's like Van 00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:27.799 Helsing. Very. So it's like an alternate timeline 00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:34.139 based in Europe. Yeah, it almost felt like a 00:13:34.139 --> 00:13:38.139 carbon copy of. League of Extraordinary Gentlemen 00:13:38.139 --> 00:13:41.240 for a minute there. Yeah. Definitely archetypes 00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:43.879 filled, but the story is different. Yeah, right. 00:13:44.139 --> 00:13:46.460 Yeah, no. Pretty cool. Have you ever seen a movie 00:13:46.460 --> 00:13:48.620 back in the day, and I'm talking back in the 00:13:48.620 --> 00:13:54.500 day, like 2006 maybe, called Franklin? It had 00:13:54.500 --> 00:14:00.600 the guy out of Cruel Intentions, the brother, 00:14:00.820 --> 00:14:09.730 Ryan Phillippe. It had him in it and he was operating 00:14:09.730 --> 00:14:13.830 in two dimensions at the same time. Right. In 00:14:13.830 --> 00:14:16.870 one dimension it was very steampunk and he was 00:14:16.870 --> 00:14:19.750 a superhero. Okay, no, I haven't seen this. Dude, 00:14:20.350 --> 00:14:22.389 really good movie. Really good movie. It sounds 00:14:22.389 --> 00:14:25.389 very similar to that. But yeah, no, it was really 00:14:25.389 --> 00:14:30.450 good. Dude, I like the sound of that. I really 00:14:30.450 --> 00:14:33.009 like the sound of that book. I went straight 00:14:33.009 --> 00:14:35.409 off the cover. I saw the cover. I'm like, this 00:14:35.409 --> 00:14:37.629 is fucking sick. I'll put it up here somewhere. 00:14:37.850 --> 00:14:40.190 It looks very cool. Where are you going to put 00:14:40.190 --> 00:14:44.789 it? About here. Yeah, nice. Not near the mic. 00:14:45.049 --> 00:14:48.970 Yeah. Very cool cover. Knew I wanted to read 00:14:48.970 --> 00:14:51.429 Joe Abercrombie for a while now, and I thought, 00:14:51.490 --> 00:14:53.950 fuck it, I'll go this one. Why Joe? What made 00:14:53.950 --> 00:14:56.490 you want to jump on that bandwagon? Just because 00:14:56.490 --> 00:14:58.830 a lot of these books are lauded as good fantasy. 00:14:58.950 --> 00:15:01.659 Right, okay. But he has, like, the first lore 00:15:01.659 --> 00:15:04.399 and a few different other series. I don't know 00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:06.179 if they share the same universe. I don't know 00:15:06.179 --> 00:15:09.159 much about them at all. But, yeah, it's been 00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:10.860 something that I've been meaning to get on, and 00:15:10.860 --> 00:15:13.299 then I saw this, and it's only just come out. 00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:16.379 So it's fresh. Yeah, nice. Got on it. I like 00:15:16.379 --> 00:15:18.039 the sound of that, dude. Or I think we might 00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:22.120 have to give that one a read. I would like to 00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:24.179 have heard it because I listened to it. I didn't 00:15:24.179 --> 00:15:27.289 read the book. As a full cast production. Oh, 00:15:27.350 --> 00:15:29.269 yeah, dude. One day if it ever comes out as a 00:15:29.269 --> 00:15:31.690 full cast production, it'll be sick. Nice. Yeah. 00:15:31.970 --> 00:15:34.129 So you watched something else? I did. I've watched 00:15:34.129 --> 00:15:37.889 heaps. I've had a busy week. Right. Because I 00:15:37.889 --> 00:15:40.590 had my first sick day in probably about six years 00:15:40.590 --> 00:15:45.629 this week. And I was completely fuck -eyed, so 00:15:45.629 --> 00:15:49.049 I laid in bed almost all day. Second season of 00:15:49.049 --> 00:15:57.019 Sandman. Ah, right. My second favourite. No, 00:15:57.120 --> 00:16:04.879 my second favourite, Satan. So my favourite Satan 00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:11.620 is in another DC property, and it's Peter Storm 00:16:11.620 --> 00:16:14.700 here in Constantine. He's in it for 10 minutes, 00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:18.240 man. Still one of the best Satan. Devil. Mr. 00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:25.610 Morningstar, you'll love this. Lucifer Morningstar 00:16:25.610 --> 00:16:34.350 in Sandman is played by the night chick out of 00:16:34.350 --> 00:16:37.690 Game of Thrones. Forget her name. I have seen, 00:16:37.870 --> 00:16:41.789 yep. And she looks amazing, dude. Yep. Plays 00:16:41.789 --> 00:16:45.970 it perfectly. So well. Yeah. Sandman is still 00:16:45.970 --> 00:16:52.210 a show that is just a visual feast. The scenery 00:16:52.210 --> 00:16:56.230 is absolutely gorgeous. And the cast, dude, from 00:16:56.230 --> 00:17:00.889 Desire, Dream, Delirium, we meet a couple more 00:17:00.889 --> 00:17:04.150 of the siblings this season. So you meet Delirium 00:17:04.150 --> 00:17:11.269 and Disaster, Destruction and Destiny. So you 00:17:11.269 --> 00:17:14.569 meet them guys. And to go with Death, Dream and 00:17:14.569 --> 00:17:20.940 Desire, Dream and Desire. Oh, dude, they're godly. 00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:25.059 They look godly. The bloke who plays Morpheus, 00:17:25.180 --> 00:17:28.440 Dream, is just so deadpan. He never shows any 00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:32.599 emotion. But you know what he's feeling just 00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:35.660 by a little smirk or his eyes change shape or 00:17:35.660 --> 00:17:39.519 something. It's hard to imagine how he could 00:17:39.519 --> 00:17:43.079 do that by always being talking like this the 00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:48.019 entire time. And then you've got. Desire, who 00:17:48.019 --> 00:17:51.339 is complete opposite. He's like fucking like 00:17:51.339 --> 00:17:53.339 a drag queen. He's very full of energy and it's 00:17:53.339 --> 00:17:57.599 blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So the stories 00:17:57.599 --> 00:18:02.200 in this one are quite good. Cain and Abel still 00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:04.359 knock it out of the park. They're two of my favourite 00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:07.579 characters in this show. Delirium. Is she only 00:18:07.579 --> 00:18:09.220 just introduced in this season or is she in the 00:18:09.220 --> 00:18:10.480 first season? I don't know if she was in the 00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:13.240 first season. Okay. She is introduced in this 00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:16.259 one and she's actually the – Actor that plays 00:18:16.259 --> 00:18:20.359 it does a great job. Because I've only – I thought 00:18:20.359 --> 00:18:21.960 I only read the first volume. It might have been 00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:26.579 two volumes of the comic. Right. But, yeah, I 00:18:26.579 --> 00:18:29.579 haven't read the books, listened to the audio 00:18:29.579 --> 00:18:32.980 books or anything. That's why I kind of held 00:18:32.980 --> 00:18:34.380 off from watching it the first time because I 00:18:34.380 --> 00:18:37.980 meant to read that first. I don't know. I might 00:18:37.980 --> 00:18:40.799 just watch it and then go back. Well, in this 00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:52.059 one we meet – so you meet Thor. Loki, Odinson. 00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:57.319 Oh, no, not Odinson. Odin. Odin, yeah. You meet 00:18:57.319 --> 00:19:02.980 a heap of other gods as well because Morpheus 00:19:02.980 --> 00:19:06.160 is given the keys to hell because Satan's retiring. 00:19:07.819 --> 00:19:11.019 Lucifer's retiring. So it's like him trying to 00:19:11.019 --> 00:19:13.400 pick who's going to take over hell, who's going 00:19:13.400 --> 00:19:16.839 to be. the person that takes it over. So do we 00:19:16.839 --> 00:19:19.440 have any crossover with American gods? Not yet, 00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:22.400 no. I hope not. Yeah, okay. Because American 00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:26.299 gods were shit. Okay, I never watched it. Ali 00:19:26.299 --> 00:19:28.480 swears by it. She says it was amazing. I hated 00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:32.339 it. I hated it. Why is the internet a god? I 00:19:32.339 --> 00:19:35.039 mean, it makes sense. Why is social media a god? 00:19:35.500 --> 00:19:40.500 Well, why were any of the gods gods back in the 00:19:40.500 --> 00:19:43.500 day they were worshipped? Because lightning come 00:19:43.500 --> 00:19:45.819 from the sky. Waves were tumbling in the ocean. 00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:48.480 Yeah. Things that people didn't know any better, 00:19:48.539 --> 00:19:50.599 so they worshipped them. I'm not going to worship 00:19:50.599 --> 00:19:53.019 my computer. No, but some fucking people do. 00:19:53.839 --> 00:19:57.480 Yeah, and they can't screw a light bulb. That's 00:19:57.480 --> 00:19:59.460 what's wrong with society these days is people 00:19:59.460 --> 00:20:02.839 put too much kind of faith, you know, too much 00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:04.680 into these types of things. I think that's what 00:20:04.680 --> 00:20:06.759 he was saying with that. Yeah, all right. Well, 00:20:06.940 --> 00:20:10.720 I hated it. Yeah, okay. But Sandman, I'll finish 00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:15.369 it up. Probably tonight. It is just a sense. 00:20:17.509 --> 00:20:20.490 Separating the artist from the art is the best 00:20:20.490 --> 00:20:25.210 thing to do. Always. I don't ever want to meet 00:20:25.210 --> 00:20:28.490 Neil Gaiman ever. Pedophile fuck, he can go and 00:20:28.490 --> 00:20:30.569 die as far as I'm concerned, but your art is 00:20:30.569 --> 00:20:35.109 something that I hold near and dear to me. He 00:20:35.109 --> 00:20:36.970 wasn't even accused of being a pedophile, was 00:20:36.970 --> 00:20:38.930 he? Yeah, he's got shit on his computer and shit. 00:20:39.970 --> 00:20:42.630 Yeah, he had to. Had to be a fuckwit. And then 00:20:42.630 --> 00:20:46.450 he was like sexually assaulting people in his 00:20:46.450 --> 00:20:48.710 offices and shit. So he's a piece of shit and 00:20:48.710 --> 00:20:52.509 go die of gonorrhea right now. Yep. But Sandman, 00:20:52.630 --> 00:20:57.490 the BBC production on Audible is still one of 00:20:57.490 --> 00:20:59.529 the most incredible productions I've heard. Yep. 00:21:01.009 --> 00:21:04.589 Death is still probably one of my favourite characters. 00:21:06.549 --> 00:21:10.589 In the first season, there's a scene and it's, 00:21:10.970 --> 00:21:15.589 One of the most. Here we go. Getting choked up. 00:21:16.210 --> 00:21:18.730 The way that she ushers people across to the 00:21:18.730 --> 00:21:25.230 afterlife is so, so beautiful. Yep. And if that's 00:21:25.230 --> 00:21:28.309 what happens when I die, I'm going to be okay. 00:21:30.329 --> 00:21:35.210 Because she does it with so much grace and love. 00:21:35.289 --> 00:21:39.069 It's insane to think that that's what death is. 00:21:39.900 --> 00:21:43.119 But yeah, give it a watch. I'd thoroughly recommend 00:21:43.119 --> 00:21:48.180 anybody give Sandman a watch. Another movie that 00:21:48.180 --> 00:21:53.259 I have consumed this week was an oldie and it's 00:21:53.259 --> 00:21:56.279 with John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson called 00:21:56.279 --> 00:22:01.740 1408. Have you ever seen that goddamn movie? 00:22:02.220 --> 00:22:06.259 Stephen King. Is it really? Pretty sure it is, 00:22:06.259 --> 00:22:10.650 yeah. It's one man in one room. And it is still 00:22:10.650 --> 00:22:13.950 up there with my top -tier horrors because it's 00:22:13.950 --> 00:22:18.349 so – and the closing. They filmed three or four 00:22:18.349 --> 00:22:21.410 endings to this and they released it in the cinemas 00:22:21.410 --> 00:22:23.289 and you didn't know what ending you were going 00:22:23.289 --> 00:22:25.690 to get. Yeah. So if you went and watched it a 00:22:25.690 --> 00:22:27.250 second time, it was like you were losing your 00:22:27.250 --> 00:22:29.569 fucking mind. Yeah, it changed it. But there's 00:22:29.569 --> 00:22:35.329 a scene in it and I'm a – as a dad, these scenes 00:22:35.329 --> 00:22:38.170 hit harder than they used to, right? Yeah. So 00:22:38.170 --> 00:22:43.029 it's a scene where he's, for people who haven't 00:22:43.029 --> 00:22:46.670 watched it, he travels around the country going 00:22:46.670 --> 00:22:50.490 to haunted hotels, haunted pubs, haunted houses, 00:22:50.809 --> 00:22:53.170 all that sort of shit. No, no, no, just writing 00:22:53.170 --> 00:22:55.970 about him. So he's writing books. So he writes 00:22:55.970 --> 00:22:59.170 about him. So he gets an anonymous letter in 00:22:59.170 --> 00:23:00.450 the mail one day and says, you've got to stay 00:23:00.450 --> 00:23:02.430 at the Silver Dolphin. It's called the Room 1408. 00:23:03.630 --> 00:23:05.809 Rings up and Samuel Jackson's the manager of 00:23:05.809 --> 00:23:08.660 the hotel. I want to stay in room 48. No, no, 00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:09.940 no, you're not staying in there. You're not staying 00:23:09.940 --> 00:23:10.920 in there. You're not staying in there. You're 00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:13.079 not staying in there. Eventually he gets to stay 00:23:13.079 --> 00:23:16.160 in there. He goes, mate. He goes, oh, I know 00:23:16.160 --> 00:23:17.700 there's been seven people dying there, blah, 00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:18.880 blah, blah, blah, blah. And he goes, yeah, they're 00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:20.980 the people that have been reported. He goes, 00:23:21.059 --> 00:23:22.740 well, what do you mean? He goes, there's over 00:23:22.740 --> 00:23:26.359 55 people that have died in room 1408. And he's 00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:29.299 like, what? And he goes, yeah, there's been like 00:23:29.299 --> 00:23:34.480 52 natural deaths in there. And no one's ever 00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:37.819 stayed in there longer than an hour. So it's 00:23:37.819 --> 00:23:40.039 just him in this room. Yeah. And it's fucking 00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:42.759 horrifying, dude. Yeah, man. I'm pretty sure 00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:47.220 it's Stephen King and he based – so it was like 00:23:47.220 --> 00:23:52.039 – so when he stayed at – in Colorado, there's 00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:54.559 a place called the Stanley Hotel. Yep. I've stayed 00:23:54.559 --> 00:23:57.420 there. He stayed in this one room. I didn't get 00:23:57.420 --> 00:23:59.039 to stay in that room because it was booked out. 00:23:59.059 --> 00:24:00.519 It gets booked out. That was the one that was 00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:02.880 based on The Shining, wasn't it? Yeah. So that's 00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:07.160 where he stayed there. He stopped there, left 00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:08.859 halfway through the night, drove all the way 00:24:08.859 --> 00:24:12.119 home, wrote The Shining. He couldn't stay the 00:24:12.119 --> 00:24:16.779 night. Stephen King. No way. Yeah. And you stayed 00:24:16.779 --> 00:24:19.059 at the Stanley. I stayed at the Stanley. So I 00:24:19.059 --> 00:24:21.220 stayed in one of the haunted rooms, haunted rooms. 00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:25.339 It was a weird feeling. But so we went and did, 00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:28.319 there was a tour the next day, and the family 00:24:28.319 --> 00:24:30.680 that was staying in that room were on the tour 00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:35.279 with us. And the husband. Left. He said, I couldn't 00:24:35.279 --> 00:24:37.779 do it. He stayed in the car that night. No fucking 00:24:37.779 --> 00:24:41.859 way. The son, 13, 14 -year -old, and the mother 00:24:41.859 --> 00:24:44.180 stayed there, didn't sleep. They said it was 00:24:44.180 --> 00:24:48.500 fucked. There's some weird theories about it. 00:24:48.579 --> 00:24:52.339 It's built right into a fucking limestone wall 00:24:52.339 --> 00:24:55.180 face of the cliff. I don't know. There's all 00:24:55.180 --> 00:24:57.819 these different theories. I'm curious, sceptic. 00:24:57.920 --> 00:25:00.779 Was The Shining filmed at the Stanley? No. Right. 00:25:00.940 --> 00:25:03.220 That's another place. I've been there too. It's 00:25:03.220 --> 00:25:06.640 pretty cool. You're a piece of shit. Let's go 00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:08.519 on a boy stream. Yeah. Go to the States for a 00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:10.839 week. We'll just get all these fun places. Yeah, 00:25:10.880 --> 00:25:12.759 they didn't film it in the same place, but, man, 00:25:12.859 --> 00:25:15.339 the Stanley is a beautiful hotel. Yeah, right. 00:25:15.420 --> 00:25:18.660 Yeah, it's sensational. Anyway, so, yeah, I think 00:25:18.660 --> 00:25:21.500 he wrote that on that place, and then I'm pretty 00:25:21.500 --> 00:25:26.420 sure that 1408 is another story he wrote based 00:25:26.420 --> 00:25:28.640 on that room. Yeah, right. That he stayed in, 00:25:28.660 --> 00:25:34.970 yeah. Dude, look. I'd be freaking, and I'd probably 00:25:34.970 --> 00:25:37.930 sleep in the car, but it'd still be cool. I would 00:25:37.930 --> 00:25:40.269 like to go back to that room, yeah. I wonder 00:25:40.269 --> 00:25:42.750 how long it's booked out for, though. Yeah, I 00:25:42.750 --> 00:25:46.190 don't know. When we booked it, yeah, I think 00:25:46.190 --> 00:25:51.170 there's seven rooms on the list of their special 00:25:51.170 --> 00:25:57.970 rooms, and yeah. And you stayed in one? Yeah, 00:25:58.009 --> 00:26:02.250 we stayed in one. Describe the room to me. Like, 00:26:02.250 --> 00:26:04.089 how did it feel? What was the air like in there? 00:26:04.509 --> 00:26:06.869 Hang on. We'll do this on the red and sundry. 00:26:06.869 --> 00:26:10.109 Red and sundry. Okay. Okay. All right. So I wrote 00:26:10.109 --> 00:26:11.950 it down the ceiling. All right. Superman. No. 00:26:12.609 --> 00:26:14.650 I've got one more. No, I haven't. That's it. 00:26:14.809 --> 00:26:17.009 Yes. So we went and saw Superman last night. 00:26:17.329 --> 00:26:20.289 As a couple. Yeah. We held hands. There was a 00:26:20.289 --> 00:26:23.589 hole in the back of my popcorn. No, there wasn't 00:26:23.589 --> 00:26:26.029 because I've got a fucking epic popcorn bucket 00:26:26.029 --> 00:26:29.170 that has LEDs in it. And you left it at home, 00:26:29.230 --> 00:26:31.910 didn't you? I did. I did bring it in. Logan puts 00:26:31.910 --> 00:26:34.710 his cards in it. Sick. You instantly loved it. 00:26:35.029 --> 00:26:39.970 I did. I did. They got that fucking dog scene 00:26:39.970 --> 00:26:43.250 out of the way real early, which I was so grateful 00:26:43.250 --> 00:26:46.009 for. Yeah. Spoilers, by the way. There'll be 00:26:46.009 --> 00:26:48.589 no other kind of talk about fucking anything 00:26:48.589 --> 00:26:51.329 else for this episode. We're not going to tell 00:26:51.329 --> 00:26:54.789 the ending or anything like that. The opening, 00:26:54.990 --> 00:26:58.900 the explanation, the script. The writing at the 00:26:58.900 --> 00:27:02.660 start, what a great touch. I don't need to see 00:27:02.660 --> 00:27:05.359 the ship coming into it. I don't need to see 00:27:05.359 --> 00:27:08.140 that anymore. I don't need to see him as a kid 00:27:08.140 --> 00:27:12.819 anymore. The way that he did it, chef's kiss. 00:27:13.579 --> 00:27:16.819 Chef's kiss. Spider -Man kind of paved the way 00:27:16.819 --> 00:27:19.779 with that. The latest three movies, they didn't 00:27:19.779 --> 00:27:21.980 give you the whole fucking origin. Yeah, you're 00:27:21.980 --> 00:27:25.299 right. They started off knowing that you understand 00:27:25.299 --> 00:27:28.390 the origins. Bam. Love it. No Uncle Ben bullshit. 00:27:28.410 --> 00:27:31.569 If I see another fucking Crime Alley murder of 00:27:31.569 --> 00:27:35.390 Bruce Wayne's parents, I will walk out. They 00:27:35.390 --> 00:27:37.150 did that in the Batman too, didn't they? Sweet. 00:27:37.309 --> 00:27:39.750 Yeah. Everybody knows. Yeah. Public conscience. 00:27:39.789 --> 00:27:42.029 Don't need to know. No. We know that his parents 00:27:42.029 --> 00:27:47.150 die in Crime Alley. Okay. Spoiler alert in case 00:27:47.150 --> 00:27:50.589 you haven't watched Batman. Instantly loved it. 00:27:51.970 --> 00:27:57.549 David Coren Sweat, he nailed. Clark Kent. He 00:27:57.549 --> 00:28:02.890 nailed Superman. And the little touches, the 00:28:02.890 --> 00:28:04.869 little touches that James Gunn put into this 00:28:04.869 --> 00:28:10.190 thing, the reference to a comic book from 1953 00:28:10.190 --> 00:28:12.869 or something where it was, where they explained 00:28:12.869 --> 00:28:17.410 Superman's glasses, he put it in there. Yep. 00:28:18.569 --> 00:28:22.549 Guy Gardner fucking knocks it out of the park. 00:28:24.729 --> 00:28:27.750 I think Guy Gardner was one of my favourite parts 00:28:27.750 --> 00:28:31.210 about the whole movie. Mr. Terrific. Dude. I've 00:28:31.210 --> 00:28:33.470 never been a fan of Mr. Terrific as a character. 00:28:33.609 --> 00:28:36.490 Like I watched all of Green Arrow. I've watched 00:28:36.490 --> 00:28:43.130 all of Arrow. And it was okay. Well, I know nothing 00:28:43.130 --> 00:28:45.910 of his comic stuff either. Mr. Terrific in this 00:28:45.910 --> 00:28:48.390 was sensational. Yeah, he was pretty cool. Like 00:28:48.390 --> 00:28:51.490 the way he interacts with his T -spheres and 00:28:51.490 --> 00:28:55.029 shit. Yeah. Sensational. There's a fight scene 00:28:55.029 --> 00:28:58.529 where he uses his T -spheres. Yeah. I loved it. 00:28:59.690 --> 00:29:03.549 Lois Lane. Knocks it out of the park. She's my 00:29:03.549 --> 00:29:06.769 favourite Lois Lane. Terry Hatcher held that 00:29:06.769 --> 00:29:11.930 for many years, but she kills it, dude. Yeah, 00:29:11.930 --> 00:29:14.329 I thought she was good. There were some parts 00:29:14.329 --> 00:29:18.869 where the CG sort of fell short for me. It looked 00:29:18.869 --> 00:29:22.160 a bit poppy. Yeah. A lot of the scenes where 00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:24.500 he's flying and it's very fucking discombobulating 00:29:24.500 --> 00:29:27.839 and very jarring and shit. There's the same effect 00:29:27.839 --> 00:29:31.019 that he used on Adam Warlock in Guardians 3. 00:29:31.140 --> 00:29:36.160 Yeah. So it's flying around a lot and it was 00:29:36.160 --> 00:29:39.799 a bit discombobulating. I was a bit confused 00:29:39.799 --> 00:29:43.539 and a bit to settle it down, bro. Yeah. I prefer 00:29:43.539 --> 00:29:47.140 the way they portrayed that in Man of Steel where 00:29:47.140 --> 00:29:50.150 you just see him like the fucking. breaking the 00:29:50.150 --> 00:29:52.450 sound barrier, flying past. You don't need to 00:29:52.450 --> 00:29:54.349 close up of his face. Don't need to say it. But 00:29:54.349 --> 00:29:56.269 then when he's like, and then the camera's moving 00:29:56.269 --> 00:29:58.150 around and it's moving up around here and then 00:29:58.150 --> 00:29:59.950 back on his face and then back around the side 00:29:59.950 --> 00:30:06.690 and that. Do less. Do less. See, I've thought 00:30:06.690 --> 00:30:11.269 about it since then. I don't love it. I definitely 00:30:11.269 --> 00:30:16.789 don't hate it. I knew you'd fucking like this. 00:30:17.259 --> 00:30:20.819 It's nowhere near Aquaman. No, it'll never hold 00:30:20.819 --> 00:30:26.539 a candle to Aquaman. Aquaman's way better. It's 00:30:26.539 --> 00:30:29.079 funny because I'm really conflicted about it 00:30:29.079 --> 00:30:31.559 and I still don't 100 % know how I feel about 00:30:31.559 --> 00:30:36.799 it. It's funny that the thing that I dislike 00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:40.200 about Superman the most was kind of addressed 00:30:40.200 --> 00:30:43.839 in this. Exactly. And I don't know how I feel 00:30:43.839 --> 00:30:47.220 about it. Like, I know, it's dumb. I don't like 00:30:47.220 --> 00:30:49.319 it. Okay, Jeremy, we'll fix it just for you. 00:30:49.420 --> 00:30:53.240 Thanks. I don't know if I like it. You fucking 00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:56.559 spoiled bitch. I know, right? I know. There's 00:30:56.559 --> 00:30:59.420 parts in the movie where I think it was because 00:30:59.420 --> 00:31:04.059 I know a fair bit about Superman. I've seen Superman 00:31:04.059 --> 00:31:07.700 so much that when these parts where they've nerfed 00:31:07.700 --> 00:31:11.640 his abilities, his whatever, it was a little 00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:14.460 jarring. Right. You're not used to him seeing 00:31:14.460 --> 00:31:17.759 him take such big L's. And let's face it, the 00:31:17.759 --> 00:31:21.039 whole movie he took fucking L's, bro. It wasn't 00:31:21.039 --> 00:31:23.440 even like the depowered taking the L's thing. 00:31:23.579 --> 00:31:26.720 It was like one of the things that I always thought 00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:28.759 about to a man being overpowered is the fact 00:31:28.759 --> 00:31:31.279 that he can hear the entire fucking world and 00:31:31.279 --> 00:31:33.900 then somebody sneaks in under his guard speaking 00:31:33.900 --> 00:31:37.940 on their microphone, which is good. I like that. 00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:39.980 I like the fact that he has to focus on something 00:31:39.980 --> 00:31:43.640 to hear it now. Yeah, I like that. But in the 00:31:43.640 --> 00:31:46.299 moment, it was like, oh, hang on, no, he should 00:31:46.299 --> 00:31:48.000 have heard that. That felt like a plot hole, 00:31:48.140 --> 00:31:51.099 you know what I mean? Yeah. Like, oh, I don't 00:31:51.099 --> 00:31:56.559 know if he needed to somehow explain it for, 00:31:56.720 --> 00:31:59.059 no, he didn't even need to do that. I just need 00:31:59.059 --> 00:32:01.539 to pull my head out of my ass and maybe watch 00:32:01.539 --> 00:32:05.099 it again. Well, I'm not against that at all. 00:32:06.799 --> 00:32:11.160 There was no X -ray vision in it? No, there wasn't. 00:32:11.160 --> 00:32:16.970 No. Even like his eye beams, they were used once. 00:32:17.289 --> 00:32:19.230 Yeah. I did like that they nerfed him a little 00:32:19.230 --> 00:32:23.730 bit. It needed to happen. Absolutely, dude. Absolutely, 00:32:24.009 --> 00:32:26.289 100 % agree with you. But at the same time, it 00:32:26.289 --> 00:32:28.670 didn't need to happen because I like DC being 00:32:28.670 --> 00:32:32.750 the DC, the different, the gritty, the gods amongst 00:32:32.750 --> 00:32:39.049 men. But three years in, he will evolve. He will 00:32:39.049 --> 00:32:42.329 get stronger. His dad's still alive. I don't 00:32:42.329 --> 00:32:46.309 know. I still haven't completely taken it all 00:32:46.309 --> 00:32:51.549 in yet. Right. I think I need to see more of 00:32:51.549 --> 00:32:53.569 the universe to see what they do with the rest 00:32:53.569 --> 00:32:55.930 of these movies because at the moment it felt 00:32:55.930 --> 00:32:59.470 it was a very Marvel. I like how fantastical 00:32:59.470 --> 00:33:04.450 it was. I like the pocket universe and Lex Luthor 00:33:04.450 --> 00:33:07.910 for me in this film. I fucking hated him. I loved 00:33:07.910 --> 00:33:11.609 him. No, he was a whiny bitch. Yeah, but that's 00:33:11.609 --> 00:33:13.990 Lex Luthor. What else is he? He's a smart -ass 00:33:13.990 --> 00:33:17.029 whiny little bitch. Yeah, I don't know. He's, 00:33:17.029 --> 00:33:18.829 oh, boy, have you got everything over there. 00:33:18.890 --> 00:33:20.710 You're super this and super that and I'm just 00:33:20.710 --> 00:33:24.849 a bald fuck. I look like I've got leukemia. The 00:33:24.849 --> 00:33:31.470 whole way that he was kind of defeating Superman 00:33:31.470 --> 00:33:35.750 with the combinations, I won't allude too much 00:33:35.750 --> 00:33:37.809 more to that. I felt that was a little clunky. 00:33:39.539 --> 00:33:41.660 Superman can operate at super speed. The fact 00:33:41.660 --> 00:33:43.819 that you're saying letters and you're beating 00:33:43.819 --> 00:33:47.799 him to a punch, didn't like it. If he was using 00:33:47.799 --> 00:33:50.319 a controller, that'd be fat. If he was using 00:33:50.319 --> 00:33:51.960 a mouse and keyboard, that would have been sick. 00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:54.400 The thing is I can't come up with something that 00:33:54.400 --> 00:33:58.200 I'd prefer. The fact that he's seeing something 00:33:58.200 --> 00:34:01.859 on a screen that's tele, like it's there, he's 00:34:01.859 --> 00:34:03.519 watching it and then he's got to communicate 00:34:03.519 --> 00:34:05.420 that to someone. That person has to put that 00:34:05.420 --> 00:34:07.460 input in and then it has to go back to there. 00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:11.519 There was too many variables. Yeah. If it was 00:34:11.519 --> 00:34:17.760 him doing it. Agreed. Like somehow, like a fucking 00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:20.019 telepathic link somehow. That would have been 00:34:20.019 --> 00:34:23.860 good. Through science. If he could somehow put 00:34:23.860 --> 00:34:28.780 his brain in that Ultraman and fight with like 00:34:28.780 --> 00:34:32.360 his superior intelligence and the brawn. But 00:34:32.360 --> 00:34:36.400 the whole team and that kind of took me out of 00:34:36.400 --> 00:34:41.139 it. I was like, he's calling plays. Yeah, I didn't 00:34:41.139 --> 00:34:48.079 like that bit. That to me was a – that was a 00:34:48.079 --> 00:34:54.780 weak spot. The whole – okay. His superior intellect 00:34:54.780 --> 00:34:58.159 can know all these combination codes. In case 00:34:58.159 --> 00:34:59.679 you haven't noticed, it's a letter and a number. 00:35:00.539 --> 00:35:03.679 How does every member of his team keep track 00:35:03.679 --> 00:35:07.670 of all them codes? Yeah. Yeah. There's a lot 00:35:07.670 --> 00:35:10.670 of weak points to that. I like what they were 00:35:10.670 --> 00:35:13.650 trying to do. I don't think it quite got there. 00:35:14.929 --> 00:35:18.550 And, like, they nerfed Superman, but then they 00:35:18.550 --> 00:35:23.250 still had him, like, holding up the Kaiju's foot 00:35:23.250 --> 00:35:27.130 to stop the dog. Your foot, man, is flexible. 00:35:27.369 --> 00:35:30.050 Your foot's kind of under a point, a piece of 00:35:30.050 --> 00:35:33.889 Lego. We all know how that fucking feels. It 00:35:33.889 --> 00:35:36.750 doesn't hold your whole foot up. No. And then 00:35:36.750 --> 00:35:39.309 again, when the building's collapsing and he 00:35:39.309 --> 00:35:41.769 holds the building up, now that would go. Oh, 00:35:41.789 --> 00:35:44.369 yeah. It'd just collapse around him. You're holding 00:35:44.369 --> 00:35:47.150 onto four bricks, bro. Then four bricks are going 00:35:47.150 --> 00:35:50.889 to push straight in. Yeah. That's the whole weight 00:35:50.889 --> 00:35:53.070 of that building on four bricks. He could have 00:35:53.070 --> 00:35:55.349 been on top of that car, could have collapsed 00:35:55.349 --> 00:35:57.030 around him. He could have pulled the car out. 00:35:57.739 --> 00:36:00.039 And it would have been safe. See, I like the 00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:02.000 bit where you said how he was holding a foot 00:36:02.000 --> 00:36:03.940 up when he went under the floor and he's like 00:36:03.940 --> 00:36:05.639 tunneling through. Yeah, that was cool when it 00:36:05.639 --> 00:36:11.360 crushed him. Yeah, I feel like I still don't 00:36:11.360 --> 00:36:17.519 know. Look, there were issues in it. My favourite 00:36:17.519 --> 00:36:20.559 Superman now. Man of Steel was my favourite. 00:36:20.820 --> 00:36:25.380 I liked him. Henry Cavill is still the GOAT Superman. 00:36:26.030 --> 00:36:29.329 Yeah, I don't know. He played the conflicted 00:36:29.329 --> 00:36:33.630 Superman better. I disagree though. I disagree 00:36:33.630 --> 00:36:36.889 with that. Like when Clark's getting interviewed 00:36:36.889 --> 00:36:40.489 by Lois as Superman and you see how he's like 00:36:40.489 --> 00:36:43.230 he's getting fucking frustrated because he thought 00:36:43.230 --> 00:36:45.150 he was doing the right thing and all he was doing 00:36:45.150 --> 00:36:47.050 was saving people's lives and helping people 00:36:47.050 --> 00:36:49.269 and everyone's still judging him. He's like, 00:36:49.329 --> 00:36:52.030 what else do you want me to fucking do? Like 00:36:52.030 --> 00:36:56.840 it was still. I like that. Yeah. Because he's 00:36:56.840 --> 00:36:58.500 just doing exactly what he think he's right. 00:36:58.679 --> 00:37:02.619 Yeah. Like. I go back to Man of Steel. Was it 00:37:02.619 --> 00:37:04.739 Man of Steel? Man of Steel. Where he goes into 00:37:04.739 --> 00:37:07.239 the Congress building with a wheelchair bomb. 00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:12.619 Bomb goes off. Yeah. But Man of Steel, man, has 00:37:12.619 --> 00:37:14.980 the tear conflicted by this whole thing. He tried 00:37:14.980 --> 00:37:17.559 to do the right thing. Flies out. God amongst 00:37:17.559 --> 00:37:20.460 men. Yeah. That's, yeah. Yeah, he's like, do 00:37:20.460 --> 00:37:22.519 you see? And then he's like, these fuckwits. 00:37:26.019 --> 00:37:27.840 And then when he's like, I couldn't see it, I 00:37:27.840 --> 00:37:31.420 couldn't see it because I didn't want to see 00:37:31.420 --> 00:37:36.480 it. This isn't going to steer me away from the 00:37:36.480 --> 00:37:40.659 whole new DC. Right. Look away for a minute, 00:37:40.699 --> 00:37:43.659 guys. I'm going to say one spoiler. It's going 00:37:43.659 --> 00:37:46.800 to be like 15 seconds. It's been pretty spoilery 00:37:46.800 --> 00:37:49.659 already. Not really. We haven't said the ending 00:37:49.659 --> 00:37:51.500 or what happens or whatever characters he fights. 00:37:51.739 --> 00:37:57.239 True. Spoiler, spoiler, spoiler. Peacemaker. 00:37:57.420 --> 00:38:01.360 Fuck off. Why? I love Peacemaker as a character. 00:38:01.559 --> 00:38:06.280 Fucking love it. Leave it. He's already interacted 00:38:06.280 --> 00:38:09.800 with Henry Cavill, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, The 00:38:09.800 --> 00:38:15.460 Flash at the end of, spoilers again, Peacemaker. 00:38:15.679 --> 00:38:22.420 Yeah. Why is he here? It's dumb. James Gunn said. 00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:26.179 We're moving on from the DCEU. Then move on. 00:38:26.320 --> 00:38:29.539 Yeah. We're still going to get a second season 00:38:29.539 --> 00:38:33.039 of Peacemaker. Yeah. Why do we need to have him 00:38:33.039 --> 00:38:37.239 in the DCEU? And I love the Peacemaker. I love 00:38:37.239 --> 00:38:39.420 Peacemaker's character. I love John Cena and 00:38:39.420 --> 00:38:42.920 I love that show. Why is he in this? He doesn't 00:38:42.920 --> 00:38:45.699 need to be. The linchpin will be if they ever 00:38:45.699 --> 00:38:50.840 do another fucking Flash movie. Whether this. 00:38:51.369 --> 00:38:54.349 A whole new iteration. Whether this whole new 00:38:54.349 --> 00:38:58.849 iteration of the DC universe, not the extended 00:38:58.849 --> 00:39:02.570 universe, the DC universe now, whether it will 00:39:02.570 --> 00:39:04.570 be a result because the last movie that came 00:39:04.570 --> 00:39:06.710 out was the Flash movie and he fucked with the 00:39:06.710 --> 00:39:09.070 timeline. Yeah, so we got George Clooney at the 00:39:09.070 --> 00:39:14.949 end as Batman. Yeah. And then there was the Arrowverse, 00:39:15.230 --> 00:39:18.030 the whole two Barrys. They joined in too, yeah. 00:39:18.630 --> 00:39:21.920 Are we going to get an explanation? Okay. Like 00:39:21.920 --> 00:39:27.039 there is some groundwork there. Are we going 00:39:27.039 --> 00:39:31.579 to get a payoff? Right. Whether this is another 00:39:31.579 --> 00:39:35.000 universe and, well, no, because then there's 00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:37.780 the continuation of the Peacemaker who's always 00:39:37.780 --> 00:39:40.900 going to be a weird fucking thing. When did Peacemaker 00:39:40.900 --> 00:39:45.260 come out, before or after Flash? Before. Has 00:39:45.260 --> 00:39:47.800 the second season come out yet? No. It comes 00:39:47.800 --> 00:39:49.539 out this year. It'll be interesting to see what 00:39:49.539 --> 00:39:52.519 happens in it. I think there's going to be a 00:39:52.519 --> 00:39:58.820 whole heap of jokes at the Flash's expense. Yeah, 00:39:58.840 --> 00:40:03.559 I would like to see Gunn pick up the pieces and 00:40:03.559 --> 00:40:06.739 assemble them in a certain way. I think as a 00:40:06.739 --> 00:40:18.380 whole, this is the strongest DC. This is the 00:40:18.380 --> 00:40:24.019 strongest DC. Has been in a while. It's pretty 00:40:24.019 --> 00:40:26.840 early to tell. Yeah. But I think it's the strongest 00:40:26.840 --> 00:40:32.320 it has been in a while. I don't know if Zack 00:40:32.320 --> 00:40:34.639 Snyder could have done this film. I don't think 00:40:34.639 --> 00:40:36.900 he could have. Oh, fuck no. No, it's nowhere 00:40:36.900 --> 00:40:39.920 near his wheelhouse. The fact that they've gone 00:40:39.920 --> 00:40:42.400 a bit more lighthearted and, like you said, Marvel 00:40:42.400 --> 00:40:46.000 -esque. It's a very Marvel film. This would fit 00:40:46.000 --> 00:40:47.980 in the MCU. Straight up. Straight in. Straight 00:40:47.980 --> 00:40:51.199 up. James Gunn is a talented as fuck director, 00:40:51.380 --> 00:40:55.579 writer, whatever he's doing. I enjoyed it. I'll 00:40:55.579 --> 00:40:59.480 give it a 7 out of 10. I'd give it a 6. Yeah. 00:41:00.059 --> 00:41:03.619 I enjoyed it. I really, really, really did. I 00:41:03.619 --> 00:41:06.519 thought I would go in there and I would be so 00:41:06.519 --> 00:41:10.719 let down. But it was just little touches. The 00:41:10.719 --> 00:41:12.480 fact that he gets frustrated when he's trying 00:41:12.480 --> 00:41:16.179 to tell people what he's doing. Yeah. The interaction 00:41:16.179 --> 00:41:20.559 with him and... Jor -El and blah, blah, blah. 00:41:21.099 --> 00:41:26.800 Yeah. Lara. The mum. Lara. And it's like we've 00:41:26.800 --> 00:41:29.960 seen him interact with both sets of parents in 00:41:29.960 --> 00:41:35.360 every iteration of Superman. Yeah. I thoroughly 00:41:35.360 --> 00:41:40.059 enjoyed the ending. Ticked a massive box for 00:41:40.059 --> 00:41:43.679 me. Huge box. When people see it, they'll know. 00:41:44.360 --> 00:41:47.690 That last scene. Ticked a massive box for me, 00:41:47.730 --> 00:41:53.289 dude, huge box. And, you know, it only came out 00:41:53.289 --> 00:41:55.250 yesterday, so we're not going to talk spoilers 00:41:55.250 --> 00:41:57.389 about it today because it's just fucking rude. 00:41:58.329 --> 00:42:01.750 But, yeah, I just – I really enjoyed it, dude. 00:42:01.849 --> 00:42:03.869 And it might have been the company, but I enjoyed 00:42:03.869 --> 00:42:06.710 the movie even more. On the last thing that I 00:42:06.710 --> 00:42:08.690 want to touch on about it, I thought the whole 00:42:08.690 --> 00:42:16.469 metamorpho, his linchpin. A bit weak. Very weak, 00:42:16.630 --> 00:42:19.250 yeah. I felt like he could have had more kind 00:42:19.250 --> 00:42:21.849 of substance. Yeah. There could have been something 00:42:21.849 --> 00:42:26.050 more than just the MacGuffin that. That it was. 00:42:26.329 --> 00:42:28.269 That it was, yeah. Well, hopefully, well, he 00:42:28.269 --> 00:42:32.550 is now in the Justice Gang. So let's see more 00:42:32.550 --> 00:42:36.110 metamorpho. Yeah, well, I didn't mind the character. 00:42:36.289 --> 00:42:39.130 He was interesting. He wasn't a straightforward 00:42:39.130 --> 00:42:41.309 character. Yeah. Had some interesting powers. 00:42:41.530 --> 00:42:43.510 And the way he used the powers were fucking, 00:42:43.590 --> 00:42:46.820 were very different. Yeah. Just, yeah, that one 00:42:46.820 --> 00:42:50.019 part about the whole thing was like. Now, it's 00:42:50.019 --> 00:42:52.119 not going to be a Superman without kryptonite, 00:42:52.139 --> 00:42:54.039 so we know kryptonite's going to be in this movie. 00:42:55.280 --> 00:42:57.280 I think the way that they portrayed kryptonite 00:42:57.280 --> 00:43:00.500 in this was great. It wasn't just, oh, I'm feeling 00:43:00.500 --> 00:43:04.420 sick. Help me, I'm feeling cold. There was literal 00:43:04.420 --> 00:43:10.400 physical, like it was like it was an acid. It 00:43:10.400 --> 00:43:13.539 was burning. It was hurting physically. It wasn't 00:43:13.539 --> 00:43:18.769 just, oh, my tummy. like in Smallville. Save 00:43:18.769 --> 00:43:22.369 Martha. Yeah, you can. You know what I'm talking 00:43:22.369 --> 00:43:26.389 about. But, yeah, I really thought this was a 00:43:26.389 --> 00:43:30.309 solid first outing for James Gunn in the DCU. 00:43:30.469 --> 00:43:33.849 It's definitely got me – piqued my interest. 00:43:34.449 --> 00:43:38.190 Pumped for lanterns. Yeah, I'm very interested 00:43:38.190 --> 00:43:42.010 to see what happens there. Yeah. I've seen Superman. 00:43:42.190 --> 00:43:44.730 It was good. I'm glad they took Legacy out of 00:43:44.730 --> 00:43:49.170 the title. Yeah. Why Legacy? Didn't need to be. 00:43:49.449 --> 00:43:54.869 No. We know it's Superman 2025. Yeah. That's 00:43:54.869 --> 00:43:57.030 what they should start doing. Superman 2025. 00:43:59.230 --> 00:44:17.949 Yeah. On that note. See what I did there?
