From the dungeons of Morningstar, my name's Stretch.
And I'm Clint, and this is Prevailing Strange.
Welcome back, guys, to our week in review, a
segment of Prevailing Strange where we get to
share our thoughts on some of the content that
we've checked out this week. What have you checked
out? No, no, no. No, no, no. Something very rare
for everybody at home. Jeremy's watched some
things this week. Jeremy, tell us all about it.
Okay. So I said in Monday's episode we talked
about Werewolf is the next installment in kind
of. So that is a monster universe movie. Not
necessarily a monster universe. It's written
and directed by the same guy. Is it Lovecraft?
No, no, no. Robert, is it Edgar? Edgar? E -G
-G -E -R? Robert Edgar? Right. Okay. So he's
responsible for The Witch with Anya Taylor -Joy.
I haven't even heard of that. It's a fucking
good movie. Really? Okay. The Northman with...
I've seen that on Netflix today. So The Witch.
The Witch, The Northman, The Lighthouse with
Robert Patterson and... Big Dick Man. Big Dick
Man. Green Goblin. Big Dick Man. Yeah, okay.
Did you not hear that story? No, I didn't. I'm
going to tell you about Big Dick Man in Rent
and Sundry. Okay. Big Dick. I'm writing that
down in my notes. And I think his last movie
was Nosferatu with Lily Rose Depp. I have seen
that advertised, but I haven't watched it yet.
Okay. So I had kind of set out to watch those
four movies. I only got two of them in, but so
I started with The Witch. Started with his earliest
kind of stuff. It's a period kind of piece, early
settling of - They all seem to be, yeah. And,
yeah, like the dialogue in it, lots of thighs
and kind of very period kind of correct, very
bleak looking. It's always muddy. Always muddy,
yeah. They're fucking working hard to, you know,
get anything to work. Working hard to make a
living. And obviously there's some witchcraft
involved. Quite a good movie. I think it was,
it might have been Anya Taylor -Joy's first kind
of big role, I think. Yeah, right, okay. She
sounded pretty young in that. But, oh, yeah.
Good? It's good, yeah. Okay. His movies are very,
from what I've seen so far, they're very kind
of stylised, have a kind of a slower burn to
them. They look fantastic. The dialogue's not
overdone. Right. So it's not like Shakespearean?
No, not at all, no. Okay, good. It's not unlistenable.
It's not like Romeo and Juliet. Yeah, because
they don't know what the fuck they're doing.
Oh, God, that was annoying. Yeah. Yeah, fair
enough, dude. Because when I seen that she's
in Werewolf as well. Lily Rose Depp is. Lily
Rose Depp is, yeah. I'm looking forward to that.
Yeah, and it's the German spelling of werewolf
too, which is pretty cool. Werewolf. Coming off
the back of reading that The Devils, that's how
they kind of, they went that whole German werewolf,
like, spelled like that too. Yeah, pretty cool.
What was it called? The Devils. The Devils with
Joe Abercrombie's The Devils. It was very League
of Extraordinary Gentlemen type. Yeah, yeah,
you told me about that last week. Very good.
I think I did myself a disservice reading that.
Oh, really? Now I have to wait. Now I have to
wait because it only just came out in, like,
March. Yeah, right. So next year the next one
comes out. Out of Nosferatu and The Witch, what
did you take away? I haven't done Nosferatu yet.
It was The Northman was the second one I watched
with Skarsgård. Yep. Also had Nicole Kim in it
and Anya Taylor -Joy is in that one as well.
Yeah, right. It was more kind of because it –
He's obviously Nordic, like a Viking, a berserker.
So he's on the meth. Yeah, or the mushrooms and
doing some fucking wild shit. It's brutal. It's
a brutal movie. Yeah, right. Ethan Hawke's in
it too, actually. I'm not going to say no to
that. Yeah, it's got some big names in it. Oh,
and Big Dick Man. What's his name? Willem Dafoe.
Willem Dafoe, that's it. Yeah, he's in it as
well. So plenty of names, and he obviously has,
like, must have a good working relationship with
some of these actors because they've come back
a few times to do some of these movies. I've
noticed a lot of that. Like a director will usually
work with a lot of the same actors if he has
a good experience with them, which is fantastic.
Yeah. And, you know, I think I was reading something
about somebody who was cast recently where they
didn't audition the roles they wrote for that
cast. I forget what it was. I think – what's
his name? Oh, fuck. Booth out of Quentin Tarantino's
latest, Hollywood one. That was written for Brad
Pitt. Pitt, yeah. Yeah, so I think directors
do sometimes write roles with certain people.
You're a fucking mess, mate. You better cut that.
Not when you drew attention to it. Yeah, I think
whoever this person was, I'll probably remember
it later, they said that it takes a lot of load
off their whole production when they have somebody
in mind instead of trying to find the right person
for a role, which is pretty cool. So, yeah, I
guess if you work with somebody, you might have
an idea of if they would fit to a particular
role for future movies. No, it's good, man. Yeah.
I have seen The Northman. It pops up a lot all
the time. Yeah, it's on Netflix at the moment.
That's where I watch it. So there's a lot of
North mythology and there's a lot of introspection
and kind of some kind of, how would you put it,
like psychedelic moments. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's
pretty fucking cool. Dude, I've been seeing The
Sphere in Vegas. Fucking Backstreet Boys have
been doing their concert there, dude. I haven't
seen that. Holy shit. I've seen they've played
The Matrix there. Mate. Yeah. That looked sensational.
Holy crap. You see, this is what gets me. I looked
at the ticket prices for Backstreet Boys. A shit
ticket was $650 US. Yeah. To get a ticket down
the front, man, you're looking at nearly $2K
US. Wild. Wild. There wasn't a vacant fucking
spot in there, fella. So that sphere? Yeah. Seven
more popping up around the world. Let's go. Fuck
yeah. I want one in Australia because I want
to experience that. Well, they're talking about
putting one in Melbourne. Well, if they go in
Melbourne, I want to trip balls and go there.
Tool. Maynard, make it happen. I've got a personal
line to Maynard. Dude, could you imagine a Tool
concert? In the sphere? Have you seen the video?
Tripping balls? Have you seen the video of our
mate on mushrooms in the sphere? No. He fucking
loses it, man. It's not good. Mate. Not good.
Please. Wind me up and let me go. Dude. Oh, my
God. Oh. I would sell a testy to get a ticket
to that. They're not real functional because
I had snip. Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm. Witch. No use to
you anyway. No. God, no. It's just for balance
at this point. Buoyancy. It's very buoyant. Yeah.
So it's like a Titanic. When you jump in the
water, it sort of keeps you afloat. Yeah. Because
I have a pendulous sack. We're getting off topic
here. We're a week in review, not getting personal.
So, yeah, both I would highly suggest watching
The Witch and The Northman. It's good. Well,
I've got Nosferatu down there as well, so I'll
put Northam in there as well. I tried to watch
them today at work, but I just couldn't. It's
called work, mate. You do it all the fucking
time. I want to immerse into these movies. Yeah,
right. I just can't. Well, if you get yourself
a meta headset and then just wear it to work,
you can do both. No, there's a lot of distractions
at work, a lot of noise. Headphones. I had headphones
on. Oh, okay. It wasn't good enough. Anything
else? Me and Landon, what have we watched so
far this week? Iron Man 3 and The Avengers. That's
all we kind of watched together because they
went away. So the three movies you watched could
have been knocked down in an afternoon. Three
movies? I watched four movies. In an afternoon.
No. I watched. Two movies in two afternoons and
then the other two movies in one afternoon. Your
dedication is really slipping. I don't think
you understand how dedicated I am to this and
the time that I put into this outside of watching
movies. You fucking... The worst part is I know
exactly how much of what it is. The least I've
got to do is watch movies, everybody. Jeremy
does all the technical shit that you see in the
sidelines. Okay, well, I have started re -watching
the Poirot mysteries. I haven't watched the third
one, which is the Haunting in Venice. I haven't
seen that either. We watched the… Begins with
Oriental Express. It's the Oriental Express and
then the Death in the Nile. So we finished watching
the Death in the Nile today. They're good. They're
a good whodunit. I was talking to Ali and I'm
like, I'm a really big fan of the whodunits,
i .e. the Knives Out series, which is another
one that's coming out. Ryan Johnson's doing that
again. And the Poirot ones. But Misty told me
about a series today that's a whodunit series.
And I forget the name of it, but I had it written
down upstairs. But I'm not going to go and get
it because that would take time. That's good.
Jeremy's going to put it here. If he reminds
me. There. But, yeah, so I like watching whodunits.
I'm going to watch some more. What else do we
watch? I have watched fucking K -pop Demon Slayers.
I've heard it's good. I want to say it is. I've
heard it's supposed to be really good. Jack and
Anastasia had it on in the shop yesterday. Yeah.
And he was singing along to it. It's a fucking
musical. However, it was animated by the same
people who'd done Into the Spider -Verse. And
that's why Across the Spider -Verse has been...
Across the Spider -Verse? The third installment?
Yeah. Yeah, I can't remember what they're called.
So that's why that's late. So I had... going
into this that I hated it already because it's
made me wait for Spider -Man. Right. But it was
good. I'm sorry. It was good. Fuck, it was good.
I don't want to say it was good, but it was good.
Apparently some of the songs out of it have topped
K -pop charts ridiculously. I don't want to hear
about that. The animation's great. It looks good.
But it's very Red Panda. Red Panda was good too,
I suppose. Jesus Christ. What else have I seen
this week? Please hold. I wrote them down. That's
probably a good thing. Yeah. Oh, I watched a
couple get caught cheating on TV today. At the
Coldplay concert? Yeah. Fucking funny. Hilarious.
Did you see he's put out a statement apologising
to his wife and his family and all this kind
of stuff? Should have done that before he cheated.
But he ends it with something along the lines
of the injustice of his private moment being
shared online the way it has, like criticising
either Coldplay or people in general, the public.
I'm like, I'm pretty sure there's T's and C's
in your fucking ticket sales that says that you
go willing to be fucking recorded. I think you
just need to shut his goddamn mouth. But yeah,
you're the dickhead that has been caught out.
And obviously her friend that was standing right
beside her knew all the tea. Well, if they just
stood there, it would have been fine. But the
fact that they duck and covered, idiots. Oh,
yeah. Rewatched the first and second season of
Hannibal. Oh, yes. Dude, the visuals of that
show still stand the test of time today. 100%.
They look so good, man. That deer. Man, it's
just so – even the artwork. You know when in
the second season, early in the second season,
there's the bloke who's cut up all the bodies
and he's putting them in glue and then he's got
them in that big silo and it's made to look like
an eye. The totem pole of body parts, dude, just
– the art in it is sensational. Another show
that I've started watching was Star Trek Strange
New Worlds. Okay, yeah. That, dude, has completely
revitalised the Star Trek fandom. I forget what
his name is. He was in that Hell on Wheels and
he was in – He was Black Bolt. Black Bolt, yes.
And it's Captain Pike, so it's before James Tiberius
Kirk and all that sort of stuff. It's got Spock
in it because Spock's been around for a while.
But, man, it is such a good show, like a really,
really good show, and I recommend anybody to
give it a watch. Because they upped the action
a little bit in it. They did, yeah. And each
episode is a self -contained episode, which is
great. I like that. You don't need to connect
everything. Well, I mean, pretty much that's
all Star Trek was. Yeah, exactly. It was very
episodic. The thing about the original Star Trek
was it's very kind of philosophical. Yeah. It
was never kind of action. It was never meant
to be action and violence, no. No. I would watch
if, you know, back in the day, had Foxtel in
the background, there'd be a Star Trek episode
on. I'd watch it that way. I'd never sit down
to watch it. Yeah, I'm with you on that. But
Strange New Worlds, man, it's good. And I finished
Sandman. Oh, yeah. Heart -wrenching. Yep. I wasn't
ready for it to be over. I'm not ready for it
to be over. Is that it? That's it. That's it.
There's no more. Neil Gaiman made that. Well,
he hasn't written a third book anyway. But, yeah,
they've basically said they weren't going to
release this season. They're like, no, fuck no.
All these people have worked. They've put their
blood, sweat, and tears in this. They deserve
to have their artwork shown. And they do. They
fucking do. The fact that you're not going to
show and you watch the credits, man. Those credits
go for a long time. There's all them people that
spent time away from their families, worked their
arses off to get that out and make it a top -quality
product, and they killed it. I will re -watch
that. And then, because I couldn't hate Neil
Gaiman enough, I started watching season two
of Good Omens. Them two? Oh, man. I love them
two together. I'll watch anything they're in
together. They are just so funny, dude. So loving.
So they are literally soulmates across eternity.
And the shit they say to each other is just horrendously
funny. You shouldn't laugh, but you do. And today
I watched some fucking kick -ass trailers, dude.
I see the Tron Aries trailer. Holy shit, it was
good. Yeah, hell yeah. I can't wait for Tron,
man. As soon as they announced Trent Reznor and
Nine Inch Nails doing the soundtrack, I'll pay
my money now. Yeah. Probably not too early to
call it, but I think it's going to be good. Oh,
mate. Dude, there's a thing. I don't even know
who's directing that. I'm going to look. Even
the Mortal Kombat trailer looked fucking good
too. Yeah. But Tron Ares, bro, come on. Yeah,
it definitely stole the show, but I was definitely
happy with what I saw. Okay. Hang on, I'm going
to have to find out how to say that. That's all
right. I struggle with every fucking one that
I say. Okay. So he has directed some other stuff.
He directed Pirates of the Caribbean, Dead Men
Tell No Tales. Okay. And he'd done Maleficent.
All right. Okay. Now, Maleficent was one of my
favourite Disney live action ones that they've
made. It was good, man. So. But it's Nordic,
so the O's got a dash short. Right. I don't know
how to say his name. Yeah. I'm sorry. But if
he's directing that and he doesn't have a big,
like a big filmography, but he's done some good
shit. Okay. And he's Norwegian. So in case you
haven't noticed about all the fucking pop music
from here till 1912. They're all from them fellas
over there. Like, did you see that they're the
ones that wrote all of Backstreet Boys shit?
Yeah, man. Them people over in the Norse, they
know what they're doing with music. I don't know.
Have you ever seen fucking, what's that fucking
show that they put on every year? Come on. Come
on. Eurovision. That's it, fuck. Do you know
they wouldn't let Electric Callboy in there?
Really? Rude. Yeah, about too good. They even
wrote a song specifically to get in there. Yeah.
Sorry. Mate, Electric Callboy, I'll let him in
my... Anyway. What? Chest. Face naked chest.
Okay. But yeah, honestly, dude, the stuff coming
out, I'm looking forward to. Next month, we're
going to get Fantastic Four. Let's go, sir. Oh,
yeah. But, yeah, that's all I've consumed this
week. Oh, a whole lot of Ark videos on YouTube,
but that's about it. Yeah. That's all I've got,
too. That's it. Well, I'm going to watch those
three that you told me about, but then I'm going
to watch some other stuff so we can come back
and talk about stuff that I've watched. Mm -hmm.
Mm -hmm. But, yeah. Sounds good. Is that all
from us? That's all from us. That's all from
us in the week of review, guys. Tell us what
you watched down in the comments. Down there.
Can you see? Down there? Down there? Down there.
love, peace, chicken grease . Bye.
