From the dungeons of Morningstar, my name's Stretch.
And I'm Clint, and this is Prevailing Strange.
G'day guys, this is Pop Culture News with Prevailing
Strange, where we talk about some of the tidbits
that have come out this week, and we also get
our first look at some of the trailers that have
dropped. Have you got any news for me, buddy?
I do. Cool. We've got several. Several. We all
knew this was going to happen, but they're going
to make Pirates of the Caribbean 6. Right. And
the original cast is coming back. Johnny Depp's
going back, Keira Knightley and Legolas. Legolas.
Yeah, okay. The last I had heard was they were
writing and they were writing with, some of the
cast in mind. Yeah. Well, again, that's only
three of the cast. I hope the guy with the wooden
eye makes a return. Him and his little offside
are one of my faves. Yeah. I didn't mind the
Pirates of the Caribbean. They were very kind
of entertaining to watch. Yeah, I still rate
Pirates of the Caribbean, don't have Davy Jones
in it, to be some of the best special effects.
Yeah. Dude, it still holds up. Fucking knows.
Skarsgård in that? Is that the one? Yes. Yeah,
where he's all fucking. But, dude, David Jones
is sensational. It looks great. Yeah, who played
him? Bill Nye. Yeah, that's it. Dude, it still
holds up, man. Have you? I watched. Bullshit.
I watched a clip the other day and they were
comparing some of the CG now to that. Yeah. Shit's
all over it. Whoever was in charge of that done
an amazing job. Fucking ace. Fucking ace. I'm
not, you know, and then you've got the babies
in The Flash, which is terrible. It doesn't make
sense, does it? No. No. You know, how long ago
was that? Was that 2008? Maybe, yeah. Like there's
probably a good decade. Yeah. So it's like if
that was, you know, 2008, what are they doing?
Yeah, I don't know. However, I have heard, and
we're going to watch the, new trailers later
on, Tron Ares is going to be the best CG you'll
ever see on film to date. And I hope it is because
it's a fucking Tron film, so it needs to have.
Yeah, it's pretty funny because when the Tron
Legacy came out, Jeff Bridges, I thought at the
time, I was like, oh, this is pretty cool. It
looked sensational. Watching back, it's a little
dated. Yeah. I'm interested to see what they
do with this new one. But, again, that was the
first time anyone had been digitally de -aged.
It was one of the first. That was one of the
first, man. It pioneered so much. And everyone
still goes, oh, that looked like shit. Dude,
for its time. It looked pretty good. That's 2013
they were doing that. Yeah. There wouldn't have
been many production studios that could have
done it. No, not at all. So, yeah, it looked
good for what it was, man. And the special effects
in that movie were great. I loved it. Definitely.
So John Malkovich's role in Fantastic Four. Fuck,
I hate you. I'm going to stop you from saying
news. Well, this is why we do it one for one.
You can do the jokes. Because we both get some
of the same shit. I did. And they actually shared
who his character was. Yeah, the red ghost. Yeah.
It was like, oh, they've cut him from that. Yeah.
So I did see a thing. It was. Purely speculative,
I don't know whether it's legit or not, but apparently
there was a person on Reddit that said the original
run time for Fantastic Four was supposed to be
just over two hours. Yep. And it's been cut down
to an hour and 55 minutes. So potentially they've
just cut a scene out with him. Right. And then
I've heard from other sources that potentially
it doesn't hurt the film at all that he's removed,
that he was just kind of like a side character.
Well, if that's the reason why they cut it, I'm
all for that. If it didn't add to the story and
it's not going to tell me any new information,
then don't bother. Yeah, well, he wasn't ever
going to be the big bad. I think it was just
going to be maybe some kind of highlight reel
of them taking somebody out. Like you said, if
it's cut down the run time by like eight minutes
or something, unless it was... Like they said
on the Big Bang Theory, there's 26 extra seconds.
It completely changes the experience. I don't
think – like John Malkovich is transcendent,
don't get me wrong. But, yeah, if he's just going
to be able to be deleted from a film and it's
not going to have any impact, then why was he
there in the first place? Yeah. Now, this was
– it has big letters in capitals. Rumour at the
start of this. James Gunn has had conversations
with Andrew Garfield for the role of The Flash.
Right, okay. I could see it. I think that'd be
a fantastic casting. I don't think he's old enough.
I think he's too old. Too old? Yeah. So maybe
an Ebert Thorne. I don't know if he'd go all
right as Ebert Thorne. Yeah, maybe. It'd be his
first villain role. Mm -hmm. Which would be cool.
Yeah. However, look, that image that I'm showing
you right there. He looks pretty darn okay. I
mean, that looks pretty much like an AI version
of Ezra Miller's suit. Yeah, it is Ezra Miller's
suit, but he looks better in it than Ezra Miller
did. And he's probably not beating up old ladies.
Sorry. Yeah, I mean, I'd be interested to see
what - Don't look at my news. I've got plenty
of my own. Yeah, sure. You've got to backdoor
to my - My phone. You like going in the back
door of my things. Apparently the director of
Fantastic Four, Matt. Is it Matt? Matt Shackman.
Matt Shackman, yes, has said that Pedro Pascal's
Reed Richard, it will lead the Avengers in the
Doomsday movie. You get the fuck out of my news.
I'm sick of this shit. Now that's another screenshot
I've got to delete. Yeah, well, you can't have
the world's smartest man not be the leader. I
wonder how the Red Guardian would feel about
that because he's a leader of New Avengers with
a Z. He wishes. With a Z. And he's copyrighted
it too. Yeah, I think it makes sense for Reid
to. Yeah. Especially if, you know. Wait to see
what happens in a week, week's time. That goes
to show that this is our Reed Richards going
forward now. Mm -hmm. Are you happy about that?
Yeah. I've got no problem. Yeah. If it's not
him, I would have liked it to have been John
Krasinski. Yeah. Which I actually saw a little
post about how somebody had hearkened back to
that moment when Doctor Strange met. Yeah. I'm
just dreaming about it again. Okay. Yeah. Met
the Illuminati and met Reed Richards, the smartest
man in the world. And Dr. Strange recognises
the name. He says, didn't you actually chart
in the 60s as like a quip? Oh, yeah, right. But
does that mean that they potentially were around
in the MCU in the 60s and went missing? Maybe
potentially on the MCU. Dude. Died. I didn't
think about that. In the cosmic incident. Didn't
think about that. Who knows? But, dude, John
Krasinski looks so good in that suit. Oh, fucking
A. So there's been some screenshots of the Daredevil
Born Again Season 2. Right. Now, it's just wrapped,
but look what we get. The DD, bitch. Hell, yeah.
That looks sick. Finally, we get DD. Is that
the black suit? It is a black suit, yeah. You'll
have to send me a picture, Earl. Okay. And in
case you can't tell, a bit of Jessica Jones in
the background there. We always knew she was
coming back. Who this chick is, I don't know.
Can you help me? Oh, never mind. It's Deborah
Ann Wall. Yeah. She's just got – she's a blood
nut now. But, yeah, like look how good that suit
looks, bro. Yeah. It looks sensational. I did
see something about Poindex – well, I forget
what old mate's name is that plays. Yep. Poindexter,
Bullseye, he's excited to play a new spin on
Bullseye in this. Okay. So I don't know whether
he's going good. How do you feel about the turn?
When villains take that turn into anti -villain
and all that sort of stuff, I guess that's what
we're going to see more of when we see Clayface
in that. I don't mind as long as it helps the
story out and he's getting a lot of... support
characters, you know what I mean? So it's potentially
building up to something big. Okay. I'm all about
team -ups. I love team -ups. But do you think
he could team up knowing that Matt knows that
he killed Foggy? Definitely, 100%. He could,
yeah. He's the type of person that would, you
know, take that on the chin for the greater good.
Yeah, it just makes me not like him. Holier than
thou, than thou. Okay. Your turn, sir. My turn.
Thank you. My next piece of news was Aaron Taylor
Johnson and Lily Rose Depp have been cast in
Robert, is it Edger? Robert Edger? Werewolf.
Yeah, Werewolf, his next project. After I saw
that, I kind of went on a bit of a binge and
watched a few of his old movies that I never
got around to watching. I've never seen any of
these movies. Really? I probably have if you
tell me the name of them. Okay, we'll talk about
them on Wednesday's episode of Week in Review.
Okay, sweet. Nick Frost and HBO have released
a screenshot of him as Hagrid. Looks so good.
Yeah, it does. It looks really good. Looks so
good, man. And the new Harry Potter 2. Have you
seen that as well, the Harry Potter picture?
Yes. Yes. That's another thing for later on.
Sorry. They have, yeah, they did a bit of a dump
with some of the lead characters and they showed
them in costume. Yeah. We see Harry Potter and
he looks so good, dude. Yeah. Look, if they keep
going with the way that they look, it's going
to be a success. It doesn't even look like they've
changed up the style too much. No. Looks very
kind of. Hagrid's outfit, dead set, looks like.
Yeah. like Robbie Coltrane's outfit. You couldn't
have, I don't know, like everyone's slamming
it. No, there's not. There's more story to be
told and I want to see it. My next piece of news
was that Nintendo. You're telling things that
I was going to tell as well. Nintendo has cast
its Link and Zelda. Oh, have they? Have they?
Yeah, with Bo Branson and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth
playing those characters respectively. Pretty
young cast. I'm happy with that. I've never played
any of the older games, though. I didn't play
them when they come out. I've went back and played
a couple of them. But, yeah, like I've always
wanted to play more, just never had time. Is
that crap? No, I like RPGs. I like RPGs, too.
It's just I don't like that. I don't have a Switch.
I would have played the hell out of Breath of
the Wild and its sequel. I forget what the sequel
is called. I reckon they're fucking sensational.
They don't have dinosaurs. No one wants to play
a game without dinosaurs, mate. This really isn't
news, but Superman has caused a 513 % increase
in Google searches for adopted dog. Why anyone
would want to adopt that dog, I don't know. It's
a piece of shit, Jeremy. That dog is a piece
of shit. Let me read this. Dog adoption interest
has spiked over 500%, rah, rah, rah, though I
did not find crypto lovable at all. At all. I
was going to say the same thing. At all. Yeah.
That's it. I would not want to adopt a dog saying
that fucking thing. No. And Eddie Gethegi? I
think so, yeah. Yeah, it's confirmed that he
signed a multi -pitcher deal to play Mr. Truthy,
which is fantastic because he'd done a great
job. I saw that he was promised. that Darwin
was meant to be resurrected, like survive. I
could see that. Which would make sense for his
character. But, yeah, that just never eventuated.
I thought that was the biggest weak -ass, dog
-ass murderer in the whole show. Yeah. Oh, he
can adapt to anything except that one thing that
he himself has absorbed before. Yeah. Like he
absorbed, it wasn't Banshee, it was. Havoc. He
absorbed Havoc's beam before. But when it was
a little ball, oh, fucking shit. Such a plot
hole, man. Oh, yeah, big time. So we know how
James Gunn is very, very vocal if someone calls
him out on his socials. No, it's your turn. Yeah,
I'm like, oh, you're getting a bit of a run on,
so I don't fucking take any of your glory. Yeah.
Get your own news, you bitch. Yeah. Tiki Waititi
has – Taika Waititi? What did I say? Tiki Waititi.
Fuck. Don't cut that out either. I won't, I won't.
Tiki Waititi. Taika Waititi. Taika Waititi, yeah,
has signed up to direct Judge Dredd. If he does,
I'm going to burn it down. Really? Yeah, I don't
want to see jokes in Judge Dredd. I've seen it
happen before. It was trash. Do not let him anywhere
near Judge Dredd. You give me whodun dread and
that's all. I don't want to hear nothing else
about it. You cannot, you can not have a Judge
Dredd with a sense of humour. He doesn't have
to have a sense of humour. He can just be a fucking.
No, I don't give a shit. I don't want to hear
it. I don't want to hear it. I don't want him
anywhere near. I don't want him anywhere near
Dredd, dude. As a fan, I'll take you upstairs.
I've got every Dredd comic. Don't you ever let
this man near Dredd. That's going to happen.
No. He isn't signed on yet because I've got that
too, son of a bitch. Do not let that man anywhere
near Dredd. Dredd needs to be dark. Dredd needs
to be fucking post -apocalyptic. Dredd needs
to be violent. It needs to be not funny. What
was his name? Oh, the man that did Dredd? Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know. So Dredd was directed by
Pete Travis. I have not seen any other movie
that he's done. Please allow me to look. Nothing
of note. Okay. Nothing of note. He really hasn't
done much. But Dread with Carl Urban, perfect,
dude. That was pitch perfect. That movie right
there, that should have gone straight into a
sequel. They should have greenlit that straight
away because that cost almost nothing to make
and it made money. It should have gone, much
like Dan Trachtenberg with Predator. You shut
up and you listen. Much like Dan Trachtenberg
with the Predator, that guy got dread. Carl Urban
got dread. Fucking sign him up. There was a talk
about a show getting released and it was going
to go sequel, episodic. Sign Carl Urban to a
fucking 10 -year deal. And that Pete Travis guy,
if that's his name, sign them both because they
got it. I refuse to watch a Taika Waititi directed
dread. Oh, it's my turn. Your fucking rant's
over? So, yeah, we know how James Gunn loves
to get on the socials and clear shit up. People
say a heap of bullshit. He's like, please, it's
not going to happen. So he said. James Gunn has
said that the DCU is leading to a big event and
no one has any idea what it is. But if you watch
the next season of Peacemaker, they'll see where
a lot of things are going. Good. Now, we all
know how I feel about Peacemaker and the DCU.
I mentioned it last week. I'm not a fan. Should
have left it there. But you did explain how it
could actually coexist, which I was okay with.
Potentially. If we had some flash action of some
sort. Yeah. That could explain the whole thing.
Yeah. The reboot, everything. Netflix is developing
a live action. You're saying this slow. It must
mean that I'm going to get excited. Captain Planet.
Yeah, I said that like three weeks ago, dude.
Oh, you didn't? Yeah. Did you? Yeah. God fucking
damn it. Jesus Christ, you're slow. I didn't
really. I made that up to make you feel bad,
but I'm excited. You fucking dickhead. I'm like,
man, that dude. That news is brand new. Yeah.
Like literally I've found it before. You made
Captain Planet fucking. Again, Captain Planet
was a thing when we were kids. We're the ones
that are going to watch it and pay the ticket.
Make it dark. Make it dark, dude. Pollution.
The world is ending. Fucking make it dark. Like
we're all 18. Everybody, you ask a 16 or a 14
-year -old, who's Captain Planet? They're like,
I don't fucking know. Yeah, exactly. Captain
Planet, he was our hero. He was going to take
pollution down to zero. Motherfuckers, make it
dark. Please, please. And not just Kwame dark.
I mean dark. Everyone knows it was a very multicultural
show and Kwame was. Colin Farrell has been Emmy
nominated as an Outstanding Lead Actor in a limited
series for The Penguin, which, dude, which really
annoys me because I told you to watch that and
you didn't. You watched other crap. I did. That's
true. You had eight episodes of Penguin to watch
and you fucked it. There we go. I've got one
more thing. Fantastic full run time, Aaron, 55
minutes. I've got one more thing. And it's more
speculation, it's not even really news, about
the fact that Supergirl is going to be like a
cosmic, like interplanetary kind of adventure.
Yep. How is she going to feel about her uncle
and auntie? Did she know? I don't know. See,
that was the thing. She always looked up to Lara.
Lara was her hero. I don't know, man. Because
she was a teenager. She left Krypton a whole
lot later. When she was a teenager, yeah. So
she would have known Lara and Jarrell a lot longer.
Could this explain the mess that she is? Ooh,
good call. Yes, dude. She hasn't found magic
muskies yet. Dude, that's a good call. I like
that. But that does – and see, that's the thing.
We were talking about that the other day. To
have a massive change in Superman's origin like
that and the other roll -on repercussions of
that, I'd be pretty excited to see if that is
actually what she's dealing with. She's like,
oh, I can't stand it. I'm going to get drunk
all my life. Matt, again on Penguin, Matt Reeves
is working on various ideas for Penguin Season
2. Now, if you watch season one, you would know
that there's a very hard -hitting final scene
that could really, really, really blow up in
the second season if they make a second season.
But you haven't watched it, so. Legends of Zelda.
DC Lanterns has officially wrapped, and they've
put in scenes for our legendary Guy Gardner.
Nathan Fielding has come out and said he's never
said any more F -bombs in anything he's ever
done before. So, okay. I'm in for that. Did you
watch, and it's not a trailer so you can't have
a go at me, the Uncaged Fury trailer? The Johnny
Cage trailer. The Johnny Cage trailer, yeah.
Did you watch it? Checked out his IMDB. Oh, good
man. National Treasure 3 is reportedly in the
works at Disney. Okay. I was a massive fan of
the National Treasure series. They are good movies,
yes. Except for the TV series they tried to make,
which was just garbage. I think it made half
the season. They canned it. The Superman car
salaries. Did you see it? Yeah. Fucking Nick
Holt, man. Two mil. Yeah. But they all got sweetheart
deals. So it's like at the end of its theatrical
run, they get a payout from the box office. Right.
But David Corenswet got $750 ,000 as Superman.
Nathan Filling got $400 ,000. Yeah. And Rachel
Brosnahan got $750 ,000. Being Nicholas Holt,
$2 million. Yeah. The fucking worst cunt in that
movie. Hey, he was good. No. He was. He wasn't
even a likable bad guy. He was a whingy, whiny
bad guy. Yeah. Fucking twat. Come on. No, I hated
him, man. Yeah, I hate you. But that's all the
news I've got for you, champion. That's all the
news I've got too. All right. We've got some
trailers to check out. We do. Now, we've got
a certain order here that we're going to go in,
but I want to leave, I think I want to leave
Tron Aries to last. Okay. Because that's one
I'm most looking forward to. But we have Red
Sonja, which is that Red Sonja, the Arnie Schwarzenegger
remake, or is it the Red Sonja comic book? The
comic book. Well, I might be a bit more excited
then. It's the Conan character. Yes. Red Sonja.
Yeah. But Red Sonja, the Arnie movie, it wasn't
like that. It was a Russian movie. I thought
it was a remake of that. But Red Sonja, comic
book character, I'm all for that. So she's from
the Conan universe. Yeah, yeah. Okay, so which
one do you want to go first, brother? Go Red
Sonja. Okay, let's go Red Sonja then. Oh, that
was terrible. Grand and pound! Or we both die.
Someone has to make a stand. Nothing but death
awaits us. I will do what damage I can. You know
what, Red? You are quite the woman. Do you think
that your gods can stop me from conquering the
world beyond? I won't just be the Akanians who
suffer. It will be every tribe, every people
who defy him. I am here to fight! You and all
of your kind are relics from the past. I am the
future! It's now or never. you can have this
and these and that protects nothing the crowd
will love it next one is It's like Blood Rain
all over again. One of my favourite comics ever,
and then they made it into a video game, and
then they made it into a movie, and it was so
bad. Now, Blood Rain, I named my daughter after
Blood Rain, and that movie was terrible when
they brought that out. See, I'll watch that.
Of course you would, but you won't watch fucking
The Penguin, will you? I'll watch The Penguin.
Yeah, I want to. So what are your reasons for
watching that train wreck? Pure curiosity. Yeah,
sure. Yeah, right. Okay, so fuck that off. That
was just stop. This one is The Descendant or
Descendant. There you go. Can I ask you something?
I know you've heard it all probably, but. You
lucky to be alive John would you ever climb on
the roof again? Because I we need you What is
the last thing that you remember Have you ever?
Worked with anyone who's been abducted You're
not yourself since you fell, man. I'm worried.
You need to rest. I'm a grown man. I can handle
this. Makes you feel small, doesn't it? I'm worried.
Are you sure you're okay? You just talked to
me. Did I say something? Shut up. None of this
is actually happening. How are you feeling? Rest.
Sean! Sean, look at me! Sean! Help me! I just
want to protect my family. See his eyes twinkle
in? From what? Is this new for you? That one
can fuck off for a whole different reason. You
won't watch it, but I'm going to watch that.
No, I'll watch it. Sick. Yeah. I like that it
didn't seem to be too overt in kind of spelling
out what it was. It's kind of like a little bit
of mystery around it, but then you kind of know
roughly what they're talking about. Yeah, there's
a little bit psychological. I don't like trailers
that are like, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck,
fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. Throw shit at you. It's
more like, hey, come down here, friend. Come
and have a look at this. And then you go down
and look there and you're like, wish I didn't
do that. Yeah. But that looks good. Yeah, I like
it a little bit. We'll leave that. No, we'll
do that next. Stranger Things, Season 5, Trailer
2. I do like his arc throughout the series. I
have too, yeah. Burn commencing in five. Four.
They're all 30. They've all got facial hair.
Three. Come on, come on. The Red Guardian. Fuck.
Just keep striding there, pushies. We won't stop.
No. Good song. This off, um... This thing. The
Lost Boys. Ties us together. Forever. Thank you,
Sarah Connor. was one kick -ass trailer. That
was kick -ass. Yeah, about three movie -length
episodes ago. That song is fucking wow. Did you
see Eddie Munson's Tombstone, Burn in Hell? I
did see that. That's going to make me cry. Did
we see Sadie Sink's character? Yeah. Yeah, I
seen her in there. I seen all of them, even Sarah
Connor. Yeah. Like I said, you know they're in
the shit when they need Sarah Connor to get them
out. That looked good. That intrigued me. I was
going to be – it was like a whole smash or pass
thing and I was more leaning towards pass, especially
after Eddie Munson. Last season. You can't get
much better than that. That dead set finale,
man, was probably one of the – it's Hall of Fame
level. The best character in that entire series
came and went in one season. Yeah. We all should
know that if there's a good guy in it, they're
going to die. We should know this. Doug, one
season, dead. Fucking hell. Oh, fuck it. What's
his name? Sam Wise. Sam Wise, yeah. Tron Lars,
Mortal Kombat. I'm excited for this. This is
the first trailer we've got for Mortal Kombat
2, isn't it? It is, yeah. I didn't mind the first
one. It was shit. I didn't mind. Kano was the
best bit. Kano was funny, yeah, but I didn't
mind it as a whole. Like, it was entertaining
enough. You know what I didn't like? The character,
the new Scorpion character. Why even have him
there? What? He didn't need to be there. He was
the sickest part about it. No, he wasn't. Scorpion
was the sickest part about it. You just said
that, the new Scorpion character. No, the new
Scorpion character, the young kid who was the
shit fighter at the start. So he was the actual
main character in the whole movie. Yeah. He didn't
need to be there. He was shit. Couldn't even
fight. Why did you call him the Scorpion kid?
Because he was yellow. He had the yellow fucking
ninja outfit. I don't remember that part. Maybe
I didn't like that movie as much as I thought.
Yeah, exactly. I just remember Scorpion being
sick. Scorpion was fucking sick, dude. The Scorpion
Sub -Zero were fucking sick. Kano was fucking
funny, different fucking take on that whole thing,
or a little bit different. I didn't even mind
Sonya Blade, dude. Yeah, and the special effects
were pretty good. I thought it was solid. I liked
who they cast as Raiden. Shang Tsung was a bit
of a whingy bitch. But we get Shao Kahn in this
one. Yeah. We're going to see him right now.
That was a long intro. Uno mas, thanks. You're
Johnny Cage. I love Citizen Cage. No, he isn't.
He's Judge Dredd. Thanks, man. I appreciate it.
They should do a reboot. Nobody wants that. Shit
went out in the 90s. Johnny Cage, you have been
chosen to fight. Tell me you're not some crazy
fans. How are you doing that? Are you coming
or what? No, I'm not walking into the electricity.
You idiot. It's called Mortal Kombat. It's a
fighting tournament. To the death. Fuck that.
Oh, this looks so much better already, dude.
You dickheads in or what? That kid. I'm not some
champion. I don't have transformer arms. Oh,
shoot. Lightning bolts. This shit's got nothing
to do with me. You can punch bikes in the not
so long now, tomorrow. Oh, yeah. I find you annoying.
Not the face. I'm the hero you were meant to
be. All right, you big ugly fuck. It's showtime.
Get over here! Is that smoke? I think so. Only
the strong survive. Are you shitting me? You
don't have any powers? Just incredibly handsome.
That looks better than the fucking first one
in the trailer. Yeah, that looks pretty fucking
good. That looks pretty good. Yeah, man, Johnny
Cage has always been one of my favourite characters.
I love the game. Dude, that looks like a fucking
romp. Yeah. It does look fun. It looks like so
much fun. Yeah. Yeah, I'm keen. Let's go. He's
not wrong. He's so handsome. He's just out here.
He's the king of the nerds. Everyone goes, oh,
Henry Cavill's the king of the – no. You name
a franchise that's been – I don't know if he's
king of the nerds, but he's a man of many faces.
Dude, he's concreted in geek lore for all eternity.
Oh, yeah. Doom. Yeah. Lord of the Rings, Dread.
Thor. The Boys. Thor. What else has he been in?
Mortal Kombat. Yeah. Man, fucking, I can't even
think of them, but there's fucking at least eight
more movies. It is ridiculous. If it's got Geekdom
in it, that kid wants to sign up and dude, let
him. As long as he keeps doing that awesome shit,
I'm down. That looks like a dead set romp. Fuck
yeah. I am extremely excited, but I'm most excited
for this. I've wanted a Tron sequel since 2014.
Oh, yeah. I love the first one. Second one. Second
one, thank you. First one was terrible. Oh, yeah.
But, again, revolutionary. It was, yeah. I think
it was the first movie that had CGI. Yeah. Horrible
CGI. CGI and all that? It was CGI, though. Yeah.
And this one, I'm liking the different tone in
this, like the red and black. It's not blue and
black or white and black. Bingo. Since time began,
man has gazed at the stars and he has wondered,
am I alone? No. Look at that shit. So much talk
of AI and big tech today. Virtual worlds, what
are they going to look like? When will we get
there? Well, folks, we're not going there. It's
gonna take some pictures. They are coming here.
I would like you to meet Ares, the ultimate soldier.
He's biblically strong, lightning fast, supremely
intelligent. And if he is struck down on the
battlefield... I will simply make you another.
You think you're in control of this. You're not.
Something I do not understand. Hang on! A malfunctioning
program that wants to live. Why is that? It's
just a feeling. Oh, my Atlanta. Oh, that's fucking
sick. Oh, holy shit. Knowing Jared Leto, that
was going to suck. What do you hate with Jared
Leto? The name of a good movie he's in. Thanks.
Appreciate it. Every movie he's in. Every movie
that has had a big fucking to -do, name something
he's good at. Dallas Buyers Club. Haven't watched
it. Fucking great movie. Is it? Yeah. I'll take
your word for it. Best thing he ever did was
cop an axe to the face by Patrick Bateman. Fuck,
what else has he been in? The Suicide Squad.
Yeah, that's the reason you hate him. No, not
really. Like, I even like in BVS at the end.
Is it BVS? No, it's Zack Snyder's Justice League.
At the end where they're in the Badlands. and
Superman's gone rogue and Batman has taken on
the Joker and he's got that little monologue
back and forth with Bats. I liked him in that.
He didn't get a chance to do much with the Joker,
let's be honest. Not at all. I would be interested
to see that David, is it David Ayer? Yep. He
reckons he's got a layer cut. They all do after
the Snyder Cut. Oh, yeah. It's very chic. Yeah.
Thing to do. You should see how good I can do
without the studio's input. Well, I mean, they
did with fucking Blade Runner back in the day.
The director's cut is heaps better than the original.
I haven't watched the director's cut or anything.
Yeah, okay. I might have to give them another
watch. Because Blade Runner 2049 is my, it's
top tier for me in sci -fi. Yeah. So there's
only little things, like there's no monologue
at the start. Right. I think there's. Changes
up the pace a little bit. It's a longer, slower
burn in parts. But, yeah, I think the director's
cut's better. All right, I'll give that a shot.
But, dude, tip of the hat for the trails today.
They were all good except for the fucking reds
on you. That was so shit. I knew it was never
going to be great. Yeah, but at this point in
technology's sake, There shouldn't be a reason
for a movie to have to have – not every movie
needs a $200 million budget. We've seen that
you don't have to have a $200 million budget.
Make something decent, for God's sakes. But,
I mean, I don't know. At least it's not a reboot
and at least it's not like a gender swap kind
of role. Yeah, I guess you're right a little
bit. I'm not going to fully accept that because
I just want to be argumentative. But, yeah. That's
all right. Well, that's us for the news, my dear
friend. That's it for pop culture news. You always
leave this up to me and it sucks balls. Well,
I always do the opening. You pre -record. I have
not since I did it one time. And then you keep
using this. You got shitty about it. Yeah. Got
all fucking diva about it. Well, mate, we're.
We're professionals. Trust me, I'm a professional.
